[00:00] <Khisanth> Alexandra13: besides looking at the network traffict nothing really comes to mind
[00:00] <Khisanth> Alexandra13: if kvirc has proxy settings you can just try setting that :)
[00:00] <Alexandra13> Khisanth: I already tried this and it tried to connect but timed out
[00:00] <lion42> KM0201, don't think we had the right answers. :P
[00:01] <KM0201> lion42: guess not... :)
[00:01] <Khisanth> Alexandra13: what did you set the proxy address to?
[00:03] <pfifo> lion42, KM0201 sorry i was daydreaming
[00:03] <pfifo> :D
[00:03] <edbian> of what?
[00:03] <lion42> It happens?
[00:04] <pfifo> edbian, minecraft
[00:04] <KM0201> pfifo: don't really know what you're talking about... i thought that was ionite we were helping
[00:04] <edbian> pfifo: :)
[00:05] <Fretta> How can I install ImageMagick-6.6.1 ?
[00:05] <Fretta> on lucid
[00:06] <pfifo> KM0201, yeah I need the question again, too much chatter but I can boot ubunto on a toaster, I think that was his problem :)
[00:06] <KM0201> lol
[00:06] <lion42> Fretta, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ImageMagick
[00:06] <Barzogh> Fretta: apt-get install imagemagick ? ^^
[00:06] <pfifo> Fretta, install gparted, it very much similiar
[00:07] <ciss> on ubuntu natty, my syntactically correct settings in /etc/hdparm.conf get ignored. settings i made in rc.local got reverted. what am i missing?
[00:07] <KM0201> Fretta: http://ubuntuguide.net/install-imagemagick-in-ubuntu-linux      another one
[00:07] <lion42> ... why is it that three people answer their question and nobody can answer mine.
[00:07]  * lion42 laughs.
[00:07] <pfifo> Fretta, disregard that im thinking of the wrong program
[00:07] <ciss> (i now they got reverted because i issued hdparm -y and heard the drive spin down for moment)
[00:07] <KM0201> lion42: didnt see your quetion, what was it?
[00:07] <edbian> we hate you lion42
[00:08] <lion42> edbian, I'm used to it. <3
[00:08] <ciss> "for a moment"
[00:08] <Fretta> Thanks guys/gals :)
[00:08] <KM0201> lion42: i actually sent a channel message (to everyone but you of course) to not answer your question... it's an #ubuntu conspiracy
[00:08] <pfifo> lion42, repeat, your not even on my scrollback
[00:09] <ciss> KM0201: conspiracy? thought it was mentioned in the topic ...
[00:09] <lion42> KM0201, I switched my hd from my old laptop, a thinkpad sl420 with 0 problems running 10.04 64, to my new laptop, a t420i. I can't change the resolution from 1024x768 and my fn keys don't work. How do I fix?
[00:09] <aroman> Hi, how can I get my external hard drive to auto-mount during boot in Natty?
[00:09] <edbian> lion42: what graphics card do you have?
[00:09] <KM0201> my first thought, would be to reconfigure xorg.conf
[00:09] <pfifo> !fstab | aroman
[00:09] <lion42> ed1703, intel hd 3000 integrated
[00:09] <edbian> aroman: Make an entry for it in fstab
[00:09] <sudokill> aroman, use fstab
[00:09] <edbian> lion42: Can you pastebin dmesg for me?
[00:09] <lion42> KM0201, that was advised to me, if I could only find that file. WHICH I CANNOT because I am secretly a noob
[00:10] <aroman> i didn't realize fstab could work with external HDs
[00:10] <ciss> aroman: add "udisks --mount /dev/xxx" to /etc/rc.local
[00:10] <lion42> edbian, small and stupid words pls.
[00:10] <ciss> with xxx being your drive
[00:10] <aroman> ciss: that'd make more sense to me
[00:10] <edbian> lion42: run dmesg  copy and paste the output here: paste.ubuntu.com  give me the link
[00:10] <KM0201> lion42: xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf  if you don't have one, you need to create one
[00:10] <edbian> lion42: clear enough? :)
[00:10] <KM0201> !res | lion42
[00:10] <pfifo> lion42, you dont move an installed OS to another set of hardware, reinstll
[00:10] <aroman> i asked specifically because i didn't want to use fstab
[00:10] <lion42> pfifo, I did.
[00:11] <KM0201> pfifo: meh... it an actually be done usually with Linux.. Linux isn't windows
[00:11] <edbian> lion42: The fn keys are a separate issue
[00:11] <centHOGG> it isn't?
[00:11] <edbian> pfifo: What if you replace the parts over time 1 by 1?
[00:11] <edbian> pfifo: When do you reinstall?
[00:11] <lion42> and I have actually used multiple computers with the same hd, lol
[00:11] <edbian> aroman: that is the only way
[00:11] <pfifo> aroman, why not, standards are standards :)
[00:11] <lion42> but I figured it was worth trying..
[00:11] <edbian> aroman: but it is not hard
[00:11] <aroman> i know perfectly well how to use fstab, lol.
[00:11] <KM0201> edbian: well, if we all have Window-itis, we reinstall whenever we upgrade any hardware..
[00:11] <edbian> KM0201: linux is windows
[00:12] <aroman> but i'd much rather hook into the init system directly
[00:12] <nit-wit> lion42, have you run a update to get the proper drivers?
[00:12] <aroman> and ubuntu is insane and uses upstart
[00:12] <edbian> aroman: :)
[00:12] <lion42> KM0201, I don't have one
[00:12] <ciss> aroman: if you mount a drive in gnome and then type "mount" on the command line, you'll see your drive listed with the option uhelper=udisks
[00:12] <edbian> KM0201: :)
[00:12] <centHOGG> linux is like windows without all the thought behind it
[00:12] <KM0201> lion42: there you goo, you need to create one
[00:12] <lion42> nit-wit, no. The drivers tool is not showing me any drivers
[00:12] <lion42> KM0201, how
[00:12] <KM0201> !res | lion42 its there.
[00:12] <KM0201> lion42: second link
[00:12] <pfifo> lion42, well this is an X problem, I personally write my own xorg.conf for all my systems, habit from non modular X, it works great
[00:13] <edbian> centHOGG: ha
[00:13] <aroman> ciss: I know which spec device it is, but thanks ;)
[00:13] <ciss> edbian: it's not the only way
[00:13] <Reikoku>  pfifo: Thought I was the only one :D
[00:13] <edbian> ciss: really?
[00:14]  * aroman wonders when ubuntu will hop on the systemd wagon
[00:14] <lion42> KM0201, clicked the link, am lost.
[00:14] <TrentH> Hey
[00:14] <pfifo> aroman, there is the /etc/init/mountall.conf file for upstart, if you really want to intergrate to the fullest, that is the place
[00:14] <Reikoku> systemd is bad :(
[00:14] <aroman> Reikoku: nonsense
[00:14] <aroman> systemd is awesome
[00:15] <aroman> pfifo: i'll look into that, thansk
[00:15] <bazhang> !ot
[00:15] <Reikoku> No, it's not :/
[00:15] <aroman> thanks*
[00:15] <aroman> Reikoku: links
[00:15] <edbian> lion42: look at dynamically settings different resolutions
[00:15] <TrentH> Hello, i'm having trouble with VMware. Whenever I go to "Power On a OS" it minimizes and won't stay open?
[00:15] <Reikoku> aroman: It's another attempt to drop even further POSIX support
[00:15] <pfifo> !who | bazhang
[00:15] <bazhang> lets get back to ubuntu support please
[00:15] <bazhang> pfifo, you, for one
[00:15] <aroman> Reikoku: but it's way faster
[00:15] <KM0201> lion42: look at "adding undetected resolutions"
[00:15] <edbian> lion42: and step 6.4
[00:15] <Reikoku> aroman: If you believe in portable applications and services, systemd is bad
[00:15] <aroman> i don't
[00:15] <Reikoku> It's not way faster
[00:15] <aroman> so there you go xD
[00:16] <edbian> I don't even believe in shoes
[00:16] <bazhang> Reikoku, #ubuntu-offtopic for that please
[00:16] <edbian> or VCRs
[00:16] <pfifo> bazhang, are you seriously talking to me?
[00:16] <centHOGG> betamax?
[00:16] <Reikoku> bazhang: If anyone needs support I will happily give them support
[00:16] <markus> hello hello
[00:17] <edbian> markus: hi
[00:17] <bazhang> Reikoku, this is not chat central until that time.
[00:17] <markus> is there someone here who might be able to help me with a photo editing programm im looking for?
[00:17] <bazhang> markus, whats the name
[00:17] <Reikoku> markus: Probably
[00:17] <markus> i have a blurry pic and wold like to un-blur it
[00:17] <centHOGG> stop drinking
[00:17] <markus> im just looking for a programm that can do it
[00:17] <mikef187> lol
[00:17] <bazhang> centHOGG, stop that
[00:17] <sudokill> gimp?
[00:18] <markus> hmmm that might fix the prob already centHOGG
[00:18] <markus> ;
[00:18] <Reikoku> markus: Unshake might work
[00:18] <edbian> gimp probably but actually doing it is probably hard
[00:18] <aroman> ciss: anything different from `udisks --mount` as compared to `mount`?
[00:18] <Reikoku> http://www.zen147963.zen.co.uk/Unshake/Download.html markus
[00:18] <markus> unshake eh?
[00:19] <Reikoku> But it's not easy to do, and usually doesn't work
[00:19] <sudokill> gimp has sharpen
[00:19] <markus> im a beginner on linux and i cant find it in the software centre
[00:19] <sudokill> idk how well it works
[00:19] <markus> how do i get it?
[00:19] <aroman> markus: have you tried glasses? :P
[00:19] <lion42> haha.
[00:19] <markus> what the terminal command?
[00:19] <Reikoku> markus: unshake probably isn't in the software centre
[00:19] <centHOGG> gimp = obama's presidency so far
[00:19] <Reikoku> gimp will be
[00:19] <markus> glasses of beer aroman ;)
[00:19] <Reikoku> lol obama
[00:20] <lion42> KM0201, looking at it, might as well be in greek for me. :P
[00:20] <edbian> wow, we are off-topic!
[00:20] <KM0201> centHOGG: lol, for the win!
[00:20] <KM0201> markus: if gimp isn't in software center, you need to adjust your source list most likely
[00:20] <Andy-at-home> ive just created a x509 certificate with openswan, where can I find it?
[00:21] <pfifo> aroman, sorry I kinda got lost in the offtopic chatter did you have a question about the upstars script? can you ask again?
[00:21] <Kre10s_> trying to depmod... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/650913/
[00:21] <berzirker> #org-mode
[00:21] <aroman> markus: the command would be something like wget http://www.zen147963.zen.co.uk/Unshake/Unshake15r1b.zip && unzip Unshake15r1b.zip && cd Unshake/; java Unshake.jar
[00:21] <aroman> i forget the syntax for launching java apps, and I don't have a JRE installed
[00:21] <markus> tthanks aroman ill give it a shot
[00:21] <aroman> pfifo: Ah, I was just asking the difference from udisks --mount and `mount`
[00:21] <arooni-mobile> hi folks;  i want to transfer 22G of stuff from one ubuntu laptop to another.  im doing it over wireless but its only getting 100kbps or so
[00:22] <lion42> aroman, afaik it... works if you just click it?
[00:22] <aroman> arooni-mobile: wireless is slow
[00:22] <lion42> unpack and click it, that is.
[00:22] <aroman> lion42: he asked for the terminal command ;)
[00:22] <markus> and thanks Reikoku and KM0201
[00:22] <Reikoku> np
[00:22] <arooni-mobile> hi folks;  i want to transfer 22G of stuff from one ubuntu laptop to another.  im doing it over wireless but its only getting 100kbps or so... i also have a regular ethernet cable that is hooked up between both laptops.  how can i do this faster?
[00:22] <lion42> aroman, well its not my fault they want needless complications!
[00:22] <aroman> hah
[00:22] <Reikoku> arooni-mobile: rsync works best for me
[00:22] <aroman> Reikoku: +1
[00:22] <edbian> arooni-mobile: You cannot go from computer to computer without a special cable
[00:23] <edbian> arooni-mobile: compress the data then send it
[00:23] <arooni-mobile> edbian, so ethernet cable doesnt work?
[00:23] <arooni-mobile> how do i compress then send it
[00:23] <edbian> arooni-mobile: Not a regular one no.  Unless you have a switch and two cables
[00:23] <pfifo> aroman, ahh use mount, udisks isnt in base
[00:23] <aroman> you'd need a CAT5e bridging cable
[00:23] <edbian> arooni-mobile: right click it and compress
[00:23] <KM0201> lion42: is your resolutioon normal on the live cd?
[00:23] <pfifo> !info udisks | aroman
[00:23] <aroman> pfifo: it isn't bash-completion completed it
[00:23] <aroman> it isn't*?
[00:23] <lion42> KM0201, no, its stuck in the same shit
[00:23] <aroman> yeah I'm on natty
[00:23] <lion42> which I know is not the actual max res on the laptop
[00:23] <bazhang> lion42, no cursing
[00:24] <pfifo> aroman, you might NOT have udisks, mount you HAVE to have
[00:24] <aroman> sure
[00:24] <aroman> but what's the difference technically?
[00:24] <KM0201> lion42: i think what you want to do... is sudo Xorg -configure
[00:24] <KM0201> lion42: follow the prompts
[00:24] <KM0201> lion42: you may have to drop to console to do that though
[00:24] <pfifo> aroman, thats the thing I dont have it, so no manpage to know what it dose
[00:24] <lion42> KM0201, the prompts make about as much sense to me as singing cats!
[00:24] <Reikoku> This channel must be a nightmare to moderate with so many rules :P
[00:24] <justine777w> I am trying to get the wireless on my laptop to work, but I do not know which windows driver to download in order to finish completing the instructions.
[00:24] <aroman> pfifo: ah. well I can read a manpage too :)
[00:25] <pfifo> aroman, i suspect man 8 udisks,
[00:25] <aroman> Reikoku: that's why there's hundreds of people in here to help I guess ;)
[00:25] <edbian> lion42: ask more specific questions instead of always saying 'I don't understand this!'
[00:25] <KM0201> lion42: have out ried it?.. just take defaults, then you'lll have a xorg.conf, and can set it up
[00:25] <lion42> ... defaults of what? where?
[00:25] <Reikoku> aroman: I think that's more linked to the proportion of Ubuntu users on freenode :P
[00:25] <KM0201> justine777w: are you sure you need a windows driver, which wireless device do you have? there may be Linux drivers
[00:25] <KM0201> lion42: hang on just a sec
[00:26] <lion42> edbian, I'm in the undetected resolution section of the page. it gives instructions like entering xrandr --newmode <Mode``Line>, what should I enter in those fields?
[00:26] <edbian> justine777w: Use a linux driver! :D
[00:26] <swim> hey lovely folks, i've got ubuntu with lxde interface..  how do i get that dang home folder link off of my desktop?????
[00:27] <edbian> lion42: mmm, I didn't look that closely.  I do not know how to come up with mode lines.  You should follow KM0201's directions
[00:27] <pfifo> lion42, it wants the syntax for a xorg.conf modeline
[00:27] <Kre10s_> trying to depmod... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/650913/ any idea of a workaround to get this to work on a 64 bit system?
[00:27] <edbian> pfifo: Do you know how to make them?
[00:27] <justine777w> KM0201: Broadcom STA Wireless driver
[00:27] <edbian> justine777w: what card do you have?
[00:27] <Kre10s_> seems pretty basic to me.
[00:27] <KM0201> justine777w: that still doesn't tell me what card you have
[00:27] <pfifo> edbian, no but i have an example for you
[00:27] <justine777w> edbian: I am not sure what card I have.
[00:27] <lion42> justaman, "system" "administration" "hardware drivers"
[00:27] <edbian> pfifo: for him :)
[00:27] <lion42> no need to manually install it in my experience.
[00:27] <edbian> justine777w: sudo lspci will show you what card
[00:27] <aroman> pfifo: udisks(7) actually
[00:28] <martin_tsc> Hi there,  Im trying to set up a VPN, what is the gateway that I use?
[00:28] <edbian> justine777w: It is a pci card not usb right?
[00:28] <KM0201> justine777w: open a terminal and copy/paste this thre and hit enter..... lspci | grep Wireless
[00:28] <aroman> pfifo: and it looks like it's a d-bus daemon that hooks into the system bus, and is likely a wrapper for the lower level tools like `mount`'s backend
[00:28] <pfifo> edbian, lion42 try editing this you might not need "modeline" part:  Modeline      "1600x1200" 162.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250
[00:29] <edbian> pfifo: what are all the numbers?
[00:29] <Andy-at-home> why would i get the errors "IPsec support in kernel - [FAILED]" and "Checking that pluto is running - [FAILED]"
[00:29] <Andy-at-home> trying to get openswan installed
[00:29] <lion42> pfifo, what do I type before that to properly enter it?
[00:29] <sudokill> ctcp Andy-at-home version
[00:30] <Andy-at-home> what was that?
[00:30] <edbian> KM0201: where did you go?
[00:30] <justine777w> edbian: http://pastebin.com/ZhzTwtAC
[00:30] <pfifo> lion its easier for me to know what resolution you want
[00:30] <edbian> justine777w: reading...
[00:30] <KM0201> edbian: right here, why?
[00:30] <pfifo> lion42,  its easier for me to know what resolution you want
[00:30] <edbian> KM0201: didn't hear from you for a bit
[00:30] <edbian> justine777w: I know exactly how to get this card working.
[00:30] <edbian> justine777w: PM me?
[00:30] <KM0201> edbian: lol, PMing w/ lion on this graphics card issue.
[00:30] <edbian> KM0201: ahh!
[00:31] <lion42> pfifo, 1366x768
[00:31] <martin_tsc> which is the Gateway I can use to set up a VPN?
[00:31] <justine777w> KM0201:http://pastebin.com/ZhzTwtAC
[00:31] <pfifo> lion42, LCD or CRT?
[00:31] <edbian> justine777w: PM me?
[00:31] <swim> remove home folder from desktop on lxde interface??
[00:31] <KM0201> justine777w: i saw it, talk w/ edbian, he's familiar w/ that device.. it should get working very easily
[00:31] <KM0201> you don't need a windows driver
[00:31] <lion42> pfifo, lcd on a laptop
[00:31] <edbian> KM0201: thanks :)
[00:32] <Justin-home> A long time ago on Ubuntu server I installed a sql server and forgot the password. I need a fresh install of mysql5 but it gives me 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' when I try to set the password for the new install. Any ideas how to get rid of the old mysql database?
[00:32] <nvrpunk> hey, im using 11.10 with an intel 915 and the transparency no longer works
[00:32] <nvrpunk> anyone have any ideas?
[00:32] <kyan> edbian: I ran that command and downloaded the packages. They are installing now.
[00:32] <justine777w> KM0201: thank you
[00:32] <edbian> kyan: I don't recall but ok :)
[00:33] <KM0201> justine777w: i didn't really do anything, but..lol, ok.. if it helped, i'm glad i could help
[00:33] <kyan> sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:33] <pfifo> lion42, then try `xrandr --newmode  "1600x1200"`
[00:33] <edbian> kyan: ahhh
[00:33] <edbian> kyan: Yes I recall now
[00:33] <pfifo> lion42, sorry
[00:33] <lion42> pfifo, my laptop can't do 1600..
[00:34] <edbian> lion42: That's the resolution you wanted
[00:34] <mikef187>     /set irc_conf_mode on
[00:34] <pfifo> lion42, then try `xrandr --newmode  "1366x768"` old paste data :(
[00:34] <kyan> edbian: Sorry it took so long. There were about 180 mb (or something like that? between 1 and 2 hundred megs) of packages to download
[00:34] <lion42> okay
[00:34] <edbian> kyan: that's fine
[00:34] <kyan> edbian: ok it's done now.
[00:34] <aroman> ciss: others: So I added the `udisks` line into my rc.local, and the parition successfully mounted during boot. however, the directory where the drive was mounted to is chowned by root, and I need my desktop (obviously not-root) user to have read/write privileges in there. How can I do that?
[00:34] <edbian> kyan: did you do update and upgrade?
[00:34] <edbian> kyan: both are done?
[00:34] <kyan> edbian: yes
[00:34] <edbian> kyan: sudo gdm
[00:35] <aroman> just add a `chown` like after the mount command?
[00:35] <aroman> s/like/line/
[00:35] <Yewbacca> What path does patches to the Ubuntu Xorg Intel driver take? Xorg.freedesktop -> Debian -> Ubuntu?
[00:35] <kyan> edbian: sudo gdm: /usr/sbin/gdm-binary: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_mapped_file_unref
[00:35] <edbian> kyan: still!
[00:35] <edbian> kyan: restart
[00:35] <pfifo> aroman, chmod the directory
[00:36] <edbian> kyan: then we'll try to purge and reinstall gdm
[00:36] <aroman> pfifo: but where?
[00:36] <aroman> wait chmod?
[00:36] <kyan> edbian: Ok.
[00:36] <aroman> not chown?

[00:36] <aroman> root can read/write to it
[00:36] <pfifo> aroman, at the command line, now
[00:36] <aroman> well that's not useful
[00:36] <ciss> aroman: i'd rather chown than chmod
[00:36] <aroman> since I need it to happen every reboot
[00:36] <ciss> easier to reverse
[00:36] <aroman> ciss: exactly
[00:36] <WHAT_UP> I know this is a super vague question, but I feel like my computer is really bad at watching flash videos on full screen, at least compared with zoomed in video (which it seems to underperform in, as well). Any idea why this is the case?
[00:36] <kyan> edbian: Thank you for being so patient with me :-P
[00:36] <edbian> kyan: sure
[00:37] <aroman> WHAT_UP: adobe doesn't pour much effort into Flash on Mac and Linux
[00:37] <nit-wit> WHAT_UP, try ading the FF add on flash aid
[00:37] <aroman> so performance is pretty bad
[00:37] <edbian> kyan: I'm not sure it will fix it
[00:37] <pfifo> lion42, --newmode dosent expect a modeline at all
[00:37] <kyan> edbian: Should I boot using recovery mode or not?
[00:37] <aroman> ciss: so I need to add the chown command to rc.local, right?
[00:38] <WHAT_UP> nit-wit: i generally use chrome. what does this do?
[00:38] <centr0> hi all. I'm having problems bringing up anything other than the install screen.  when going to live or trying to install i get a black screen.  I've seen documentation about hitting F6 and selecting 'nomodeset' but I can't find that anywhere. The screenshots show a purple screen with a bunch of options at the bottom. My install screen does not have that. It's black with a white Ubuntu logo with only a few main options: run live, install ubunt
[00:38] <ciss> aroman: do you need the files to be owned by root when the drive is not mounted?
[00:38] <aroman> ciss: nope
[00:38] <pfifo> aroman, you need to create a irectory at boot for the partition to be mounted to? even fstab dosent do tat
[00:38] <lion42> pfifo, so then what do I do?
[00:38] <WHAT_UP> aroman: wasn't there once some free clone of flash? how's that one doing?
[00:38] <edbian> kyan: If you can boot normally boot normally.  If not switch to tty using ctrl + alt + F1  don't bother with recovery mode
[00:38] <aroman> pfifo: i don't
[00:38] <aroman> WHAT_UP: poorly :)
[00:38] <kyan> edbian: Ok.
[00:38] <edbian> kyan: We don't use that unless we have to.  WE can get to tty1 so we def don't have to
[00:38] <pfifo> aroman, you only need to chmod once
[00:39] <aroman> pfifo: i don't think so
[00:39] <aroman> since it'll remove and recreate the directory
[00:39] <aroman> the directory name is just the partition label
[00:39] <WHAT_UP> aroman: That's unfortunate (as is your use of a smily face =( )
[00:39] <nit-wit> WHAT_UP, it will setup the latest adobe and clean stuff up an excellent app.
[00:39] <pfifo> aroman, unless the directory is created on boot it will be persistant
[00:39] <aroman> WHAT_UP: whoops, meant a frowny-face :P
[00:39] <aroman> pfifo: sure about that?
[00:40] <aroman> and wouldn't the chown need to be recursive anyway?
[00:40] <nit-wit> WHAT_UP, chrome is using the same files for flash.
[00:40] <ciss> pfifo: the default behavior of udisks --mount under natty desktop is to create a directory in /media/ and mount into that
[00:40] <mikef187> mikef187,  test
[00:40] <bazhang> !test > mikef187
[00:40] <aroman> ciss: so do I need to chown in rc.local or not?
[00:40] <ciss> aroman: i would do it once
[00:40] <aroman> O.o
[00:40] <ciss> i see no need to do it every time
[00:40] <aroman> okay then
[00:40] <aroman> so i'll just do it now
[00:41] <WHAT_UP> nit-wit: alright. running flash-aid. here we go!
[00:41] <pfifo> lion42, say, by chance did you have an xorg.conf to begin with?
[00:41] <lion42> pfifo, I didn't.
[00:41] <kyan> edbian: Booted.
[00:41] <pfifo> lion42, and you have reinstalled and the same effect happens?
[00:41] <edbian> kyan: graphics?
[00:41] <kyan> edbian: No.
[00:41] <edbian> kyan: sudo gdm in tty1
[00:42] <golemz> I feel silly, but is there a music player that will allow me to drag and drop a folder of music into a playlist, instead of scanning that folder and then painstakingly creating my playlist? i've tried exaile and clementine
[00:42] <golemz> caveat: the folder resides on an smb share
[00:42] <lion42> pfifo, I reinstalled when I switched the hd into this computer, as I was using 10.04 32 in the old one and am now using 10.04 64 now. The issue was present in the old one, was present on usb, and is present now.
[00:42] <kyan> edbian: Same error :-(
[00:42] <kyan> edbian: sudo apt-get purge gdm?
[00:42] <edbian> kyan: I have one more idea.  sudo apt-get purge gdm   sudo apt-get install gdm
[00:42] <Andy-at-home> guys, im receiving the error "IPsec support in kernel - FAILED" when I do 'sudo ipsec verify', is this fixable or is this because I am using a VPS?
[00:42] <edbian> kyan: yeah.
[00:42] <aroman> golemz: i don't see what smb would matter, since everything is abstracted via GIO nowadays
[00:42] <ciss> golemz: haven't touched it for a while, but rythmbox might be able to do that
[00:43] <aroman> golemz: have you tried Banshee?
[00:43] <pfifo> golemz, ls /path/to/folder > playlist
[00:43] <golemz> no, ill try banshee and rhythmbox, thanks guys!
[00:44] <Nikyo> Hi
[00:44] <Andy-at-home> im receiving the error "IPsec support in kernel - FAILED" when I do 'sudo ipsec verify', is this fixable or is this because I am using a VPS?
[00:44] <Andy-at-home> 4 hours to setup a VPN
[00:44] <pfifo> lion42, that makes no sense you cant install 32 bit and then simply USE 64 bit
[00:45] <aroman> Hi
[00:45] <lion42> pfifo, I -started- with 32 on the hd when I put it in the computer. Since I -have- 8gb of ram in the new machine, I decided to install 64
[00:45] <lion42> the problem existed in 32, and now exists with the fresh clean install of 64.
[00:46] <pfifo> lion42, ok so at this point were at a fresh install of 64 bit 10.04
[00:46] <lion42> pfifo, yes.
[00:46] <pfifo> lion42, do you have a graphics card?
[00:46] <WHAT_UP> nit-wit: still terrible in full screen, but it seems to work a lot better in a maximized window
[00:46] <lion42> pfifo, integrated intel hd 3000
[00:47] <flecha> Hello! Is there a way to show a notification (like the ones from libnotify) using a terminal command?
[00:47] <sabdfl> flecha: notify-send
[00:47] <new> ebani nasos!
[00:47] <pfifo> lion42, have you tried a custom xorg.conf?
[00:47] <kyan> edbian: gdm purged and reinstalled.
[00:47] <golemz> sweet, rhythmbox is allowing drag 'n drop of folders > playlists. great success
[00:47] <lion42> pfifo, no. How do I do that?
[00:48] <flecha> sabdfl, where do I find it?
[00:48] <edbian> kyan: try to start it
[00:48] <nicofs> I just added the ubuntu repos to my /etc/apt/sources.list - but all "apt-get update" returns is 404 - not found. Why could that be the case? The device in question is ARM - but basically that should be in the repos aswell... or not?
[00:48] <sabdfl> flecha: sudo apt-get install notify-send
[00:48] <nicofs> The question might be slightly off-topic, so if anyone feels offended by that please say so now and i will leave the problem unsolved - i don't want to be banned...
[00:48] <kyan> Same error.
[00:48] <bazhang> nicofs, asked in #ubuntu-arm?
[00:49] <kyan> edbian: I can try to uninstall libgio.
[00:49] <flecha> sabdfl, not in repository =/
[00:49] <nicofs> bazhang, good idea... hang on
[00:49] <edbian> kyan: what is that?
[00:49] <bazhang> err #ubuntu-arm nicofs
[00:49] <edbian> libgio ?
[00:49] <sabdfl> flecha: sorry, libnotify-bin
[00:49] <pfifo> lion42, use this but replace 1024x768 with your LCD's native resoultion http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209
[00:49] <kyan> edbian: Yes, the error gdm was igving was symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_mapped_file_unref
[00:50] <edbian> kyan: sure, remove it
[00:50] <edbian> kyan: see if it lets you
[00:50] <Python> Hi bazhang
[00:50] <kyan> edbian: Ok.
[00:50] <Andy-at-home> does this help?
[00:50] <flecha> sabdfl, ty! =)
[00:50] <ciss> has anyone using ubuntu natty successfully added entries to /etc/hdparm.conf ?
[00:50] <sabdfl> flecha: :)
[00:50] <edbian> kyan: the error is the source of the file listed.  /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0
[00:51] <martin_tsc> can someone help me as how to set up a VPN?
[00:51] <lion42> pfifo, i make that entire text box into a file called xorg.conf?
[00:51] <Andy-at-home> good to see some stereotypes arent true
[00:51] <kyan> edbian: Sorry, do you mean that that file causedd the error?
[00:51] <pfifo> lion42, well basically yes, BUT read it, and ask if ou dont understand it.
[00:51] <edbian> kyan: yeah, just some background.  Try removing that package (if it is a package)
[00:51] <nicofs> bazhang, at first look, i thought, 404 doesn't sound too architecture related - and apart from that most people are in this channel...
[00:51] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[00:51] <edbian> aaaarrrghgghhg!
[00:52] <martin_tsc> I have all the pre-requisites done, but simply need to configure my machine to connect to my VPN, which gateway do I connect to?
[00:52] <Python> Netsplit?
[00:52] <pfifo> IM RESPONSIBLE for the netsplit
[00:52] <edbian> ha
[00:52] <bazhang> pfifo, please stop that
[00:53] <pfifo> okay
[00:53] <Python> pfifo !
[00:53] <kyan> edbian: /usr/sbin/gdm-binary: error while loading shared libraries: libgio-2.0.so.0: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory
[00:53] <kyan> edbian: lol
[00:53] <edbian> kyan: that's after removing the package? Put it back man!
[00:53] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN martin_tsc read this?
[00:53] <edbian> kyan: This might fix everthang'
[00:54] <kyan> edbian: it's not in an installed package. I used rm -rf. The last time libgio was in the repos was with hardy
[00:54] <lion42> Okay, restarting.
[00:54] <lion42> I will pray against breaking something.
[00:54] <pfifo> lion42, wait
[00:54] <kyan> edbian: (IIRC anyway)
[00:54] <edbian> kyan: good memory!
[00:54] <edbian> kyan: We might need that though
[00:54] <kyan> edbian: well that's just because I googled it about 5 minutes ago to see what the heck it was
[00:54] <edbian> kyan: ha!
[00:55] <edbian> kyan: this is 11.04 right?
[00:55] <zerothis> i have no apps listed "for purchase" in USC (natty)
[00:55] <chilversc> whenever I try to set up my graphics card (nvidia) ubuntu fails to boot, it just keeps hanging at "Starting AppArmor profiles"
[00:55] <kyan> edbian: 10.10
[00:55] <pfifo> lion42, alt+ctrl+F1 to goto a tty and then login and `sudo restart gdm` much easier, might need to alt+ctrl+f& or F8 to go back to GUI
[00:55] <ciss> #568120
[00:55] <ciss> hm
[00:55] <kyan> edbian: I'm not planning on upgrading any time soon. My setup is very seriously customised and I don't want to break it with an upgrade
[00:55] <pfifo> lion42, F7 or F8 (typo)
[00:55] <edbian> kyan: sure
[00:56] <Busigast> good morning =) does anyone know who to talk to/where to start a local ubuntu group ?
[00:56] <edbian> kyan: so the error now is that it's missing?
[00:56] <bazhang> !loco
[00:56] <bazhang> Busigast, ^
[00:56] <kyan> edbian: Yes, so I'm going to try to now add the old repos to reinstall it.
[00:56] <chevymeister> I tried using wubi, when I boot I get an error saying 'no root file system is defined', anyone have an idea?
[00:56] <edbian> kyan: well don't do that.
[00:56] <kyan> edbian: Unless, of course, you think that 's a bad idea.
[00:56] <edbian> kyan: We should be able to work without
[00:56] <lion42> pfifo, no joy
[00:56] <kyan> edbian: I guess you do.
[00:57] <edbian> kyan: I do
[00:57] <Busigast> bazhang: Thanks ill take a look =)
[00:57] <martin_tsc> bazhang, i read this before, I am unsure what to do at the actual window of adding a VPN,  which gateway do I use etc
[00:57] <pfifo> lion42, but you got a gui atleast :)
[00:57] <lion42> haha
[00:57] <nit-wit> chevymeister, there is a great wubi megathread at the ubuntu forums need a link?
[00:57] <nicofs> Does anyone know why "apt-get update" would return "404 - not found" for some of the repos?
[00:57] <bazhang> chevymeister, checked the wubiguide yet?
[00:57] <lion42> looking at the bright side, are we.
[00:57] <pfifo>  lion42 can you pasetbin you xorg.conf
[00:57] <kyan> edbian: hehe. o
[00:57] <edbian> kyan: libgio is a package in natty.  libgio-cil   libgio-fam   libgio2.0-cil-dev
[00:57] <chevymeister> No, I have not. Can I have a link please :).
[00:57] <lion42> pfifo, i prob screwed it up, 1 sec
[00:57] <bazhang> !wubi > chevymeister
[00:57] <edbian> kyan: lemme see what gdm depends on
[00:58] <kyan> edbian: Hmm.
[00:58] <rww> nicofs: archive.ubuntu.com does not appear to contain ARM repositories.
[00:58] <chevymeister> Awesome, thanks. :)
[00:58] <lion42> pfifo, http://pastebin.com/thQGjUQC
[00:58] <kyan> edbian: Maybe I can install the version from natty, but I bet that would break something.
[00:58] <nicofs> rww, do you know what does? I mean, they exist - so they must be somewhere...
[00:58] <edbian> kyan: oh yeah
[00:58] <edbian> you're on 10.10
[00:58] <edbian> hang on
[00:58] <rww> nicofs: no idea
[00:58] <pfifo> nicofs, try doing an apt-get update
[00:59] <Mike9863> I am trying to add another monitor to my laptop, however I am having some trouble. When I attempt to apply the settings for the second monitor, I get an error that states: "The selected configure for displays could not be applied. Required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2766, 1050), minimum = (320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)." Not only this, but the highest available resolution it lists is 1400 x 1050 for 
[00:59] <pfifo> rww your bad
[00:59] <tiox> Just figured I would come in and say to those helpers who think people don't read the documentation, I do. And it helped me to make launchers for Wine. :)
[00:59] <edbian> kyan: the same packages are in 10.10
[00:59] <edbian> kyan: sudo apt-get install ligio-cil
[00:59] <edbian> kyan: then sudo gdm
[00:59] <nicofs> pfifo, that is what returns 404 - but if archive does not include arm, then it's obvious wha it returns 404...
[01:00] <tiox> It could be a hardware issue, Mike. Not entirely sure.
[01:00] <kyan> edbian: edbian: Oh wow! I didn't even find that. I tried libgio, libgio-2.0, and pretty much every other possibility. Maybe I should have used aptitude to do a search! (duh!)
[01:00] <nit-wit> chevymeister, hold on my right click has died to paste, if you lokk on google with wuvi megathread it should be at the top.
[01:00] <edbian> kyan: I'm using the internet
[01:00] <edbian> kyan: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libgio&searchon=names&suite=maverick&section=all
[01:00] <pfifo> lion42, try this modification http://pastebin.com/8vP62CxR
[01:01] <pfifo> nicofs, are you using an ARM processor?
[01:01] <rww> pfifo: do try to keep up.
[01:01] <tiox> Hey Mike, just for shits and giggles, see if xrandr recognizes the second monitor.
[01:01] <lion42> pfifo, replace the whole file with that?
[01:01] <nicofs> pfifo, yep...
[01:01] <pfifo> lion42, yeah
[01:01] <edbian> yeah
[01:01] <tiox> Type "xrandr" into a terminal and see what goes.
[01:02] <pfifo> nicofs, apt-get update does that?
[01:03] <lion42> pfifo, no joy
[01:03] <nicofs> pfifo, yes... but if rww is right about the normal repos not having arm, it does so rightfully...
[01:03] <tiox> Mike9863?
[01:03] <Mike9863> tiox: http://pastebin.com/nSz6EY3Y. I am able to get it to work when I chooser a lower resolution, however I should be using something that is even higher than what is listed.
[01:03] <pfifo> lion42, pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:03] <rww> nicofs: See, for example, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/ and its lack of a binary-armel ;)
[01:04] <rww> The only ARM device I have hasn't been supported by Ubuntu since jaunty though, so I don't keep track of what they're doing with it these days :\
[01:04] <edbian> kyan: you there?
[01:05] <ayaka> I need a music player which can classfy music by their arts album and can read cue
[01:05] <chilversc> ok, this is random, sometimes I boot and it hangs at "Starting AppArmor", other times it will reach the login screen but after logging in the desktop doesn't come up leaving me with a blank wallpaper
[01:05] <chevymeister> So I'm assuming Ubuntu won't install onto a raid array. Guess that's my issue.
[01:05] <bazhang> ayaka, which have you tried
[01:05] <lion42> pfifo, http://pastebin.com/Mj42EcnH
[01:05] <pfifo> nicofs, yeah but the packaging system is based on debain which has been ported to toasters and blenders :) Seems your apt is setup to look in the wrong place, im not really sure how to fix it
[01:05] <bazhang> chevymeister, using the alternate cd?
[01:05] <tiox> Hmmm... Hey Mike9863, did this work in Windows before? Or is Windows not available for you?
[01:05] <chevymeister> Nah, tried using wubi.
[01:05] <ayaka> bazhang, audacious
[01:06] <Mike9863> tiox, when I got the laptop I put Ubuntu on it right away. I never tested it with dual monitors.
[01:06] <bazhang> chevymeister, wubi is not a "real" install, no raid support there
[01:06] <chevymeister> Oh! So if I boot of a cd, I'm good?
[01:06] <bazhang> ayaka, try banshee rhythmbox amarok
[01:06] <bazhang> chevymeister, try the alternate cd, its a installer only with lots of options.
[01:06] <chilversc> how do I switch to tty1 ?
[01:06] <tiox> Now that's silly. I was going to ask if you COULD do this in Windows. And, if you couldn't, then that would confirm it's a hardware limitation.
[01:07] <ayaka> bazhang, amarok is for kde? it shows badly in gnome
[01:07] <nicofs> pfifo, at least now i know what's wrong... and i can take it from there...
[01:07] <edbian> chilversc: ctrl + alt + F1
[01:07] <chevymeister> ! Thanks bazhang :) I'll give it a shot.
[01:07] <chilversc> edbian: doesn't do anything
[01:07] <edbian> chilversc: does anything do anything? Is the system frozen?
[01:07] <bazhang> chilversc, are you in unity?
[01:07] <chilversc> edbian: well the desktop wall paper shows, but no menus or anything else, mouse cursor still moves
[01:07] <tiox> Is it one of those power-sipping netbooks, Mike9863?
[01:08] <tiox> Because I get no problems with my decently-sized notebook here.
[01:08] <bazhang> chilversc, what about ctrl alt T
[01:08] <Mike9863> tioix, it's an HP Pavilion dv6
[01:08] <faryshta> Hello. Is there an php help irc?
[01:08] <edbian> chilversc: Then the system is under heavy load and it will either freeze or switch. eventually
[01:08] <ayaka> bazhang, thank you
[01:08] <bazhang> faryshta, ##php
[01:08] <chilversc> edbian: I've only just logged in
[01:08] <tiox> And what's the issue at hand again?
[01:08] <rww> !register > faryshta
[01:08] <chilversc> edbian: so it shouldn't be under much load, and certainly not for this long
[01:08] <edbian> chilversc: I'm not sure then...
[01:08] <chilversc> edbian: of course, that is when it reachs the login screen and doesn't hang on "Starting AppArmor"
[01:08] <bazhang> chilversc, did you try my suggestion or not
[01:09] <tiox> Just gonna do some digging. One of the nice things about Linux, if you mine deep enough, there's always gold.
[01:09] <chilversc> bazhang: doesn't do anything
[01:09] <kyan> edbian: gconf requires that file to be  able to install the package containing that file. WTH?
[01:09] <bazhang> chilversc, you are in unity, with only wallpaper, correct?
[01:09] <edbian> kyan: we shouldn't have rm  it
[01:09] <Mike9863> tiox: When I apply the settings for the second monitor, I get this error: "The selected configure for displays could not be applied. Required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2766, 1050), minimum = (320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)." And there's also the fact that it doesn't list resolutions that it should.
[01:09] <chilversc> bazhang: I assume so
[01:09] <edbian> kyan: What is the exact error you're getting?
[01:09] <kyan> edbian: True. THat seems to have screwed things up.
[01:09] <tiox> Mike: Is the video card NVidia?
[01:09] <bazhang> chilversc, I had the same issue,
[01:10] <chilversc> bazhang: though I'm not sure what unity is
[01:10] <pfifo> lion42, have you ever had X running at 1366*768 on this computer?
[01:10] <chilversc> bazhang: I'm suspecting it has something to do with the nvidia driver the monitor settings offers to install?
[01:10] <Mike9863> tiox: I'm not sure. How would I check?
[01:10] <bazhang> chilversc, keep trying to get the gnome terminal either via alt f2 or ctrl alt T, it will show up, eventually
[01:11] <lion42> pfifo, no. but that's what worked in windows. This is a brand new computer I literally just took the windows drive out of today and started using linux on.
[01:11] <edbian> kyan: What is the file that's missing?
[01:11] <kyan> edbian: gconftool-2: error while loading shared libraries: libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:11] <chilversc> ah sod it, I'll re-install again
[01:11] <kyan> edbian:/usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0
[01:11] <tiox> Mike9863: Command "lshw" should give you the goods.
[01:12] <bazhang> chilversc, its an easy fix, no need for that
[01:12] <pfifo> lion42, ok hers wht it is, Linux does not support Intel HD yet, and the VESA driver is only good upto 1024*768.
[01:12] <edbian> kyan: researching
[01:12] <bazhang> chilversc, up to you however
[01:12] <chilversc> bazhang: well, it refuses to bring up the terminal no matter what
[01:12] <martin_tsc> Seeting up VPN, getting, VPN Connection timeout,  what could be the problem?
[01:12] <chilversc> bazhang: and sometimes it fails to reach the log in screen (hangs after "Starting AppArmor"
[01:13] <chilversc> sometimes when it hangs its with a black background, sometimes a purple background, both times text mode
[01:13] <tiox> Mike9863: I was kinda rushed in response, I was being called AFK.
[01:13] <edbian> kyan: sudo aptitude reinstall glib
[01:13] <Mike9863> tiox: Okay it looks like it's ATI
[01:14] <tiox> I know, I'm doing the 20 questions thing without a real solution, but it may help somebody else as well.
[01:14] <edbian> kyan: oops typo
[01:14] <tiox> Are you using the X.org video drivers, or VESA?
[01:14] <edbian> kyan: sudo apt-get reinstall libglib2.0-0
[01:14] <pfifo> lion42, while your hardware doesnt work et, you can be on the bleeding edge and prvide good feedback for the guys who are making the intel HD driver, you should learn how to setup the latest stuff and report bugs as needes, the latest stuff might actuall work deending on what you really have
[01:15] <tiox> (I supposedly use VESA and it works just fine on here.)
[01:15] <chilversc> cool, this time, no text and stuck on a black screen
[01:15] <lion42> pfifo, my old laptop had, according to google, a "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD"
[01:15] <lion42> which worked fine.
[01:15] <lion42> never had to do a thing.
[01:15] <kyan> edbian: done.
[01:15] <tiox> Ah, Mike9863, see if using command "atisetup" works.
[01:15] <edbian> kyan: is that file back?
[01:16] <kyan> edbian: Nope
[01:16] <edbian> kyan: many package require that file to run.  The web is filled with them.
[01:16] <lion42> pfifo, is there a specific newer driver for my type of card?
[01:16] <tiox> Not entirely sure if that's still there since I'm reading this from a 6.06 LTS post, but it doesn't hurt.
[01:16] <edbian> What package contains libgio-2.0.so.0?   Anybody??
[01:16] <pfifo> lion42, Inel just, JUST got into the video card market, their old stuff and new stuff are as different as windows and ubuntu
[01:16] <lion42> ...fun
[01:16] <lion42> some upgrade I got...
[01:16] <chilversc> bazhang: so now, the screen goes purple, ubuntu logo shows, screen flashes black/white a few times, and then some text shows on a black background with the final line "Starting AppArmor profiles"
[01:16] <Mike9863> tiox: It says that command isn't found. Also I'm not sure which driver I'm using.
[01:17] <bazhang> ia32-libs, libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-0-dbg   <--- edbian
[01:17] <pfifo> lion42, sorry for the (good) luck of having a new system, but in all reality, i bet oneiric already has it working
[01:17] <kyan> edbian: I'll download it to the mac, extract it from the deb, post it online, download it, and restore it to its rightful place in my linux box if you think that's a good idea.
[01:17] <edbian> kyan: install ia32-libs and libgbli2.0-0   (I'm sure you got that second one already though)
[01:17] <edbian> kyan: I'd rather get the package to install it
[01:17] <edbian> kyan: installing any of those files should put the file in place
[01:18] <lwizardl> hello
[01:18] <lion42> pfifo, do you mean the newer version of ubuntu?
[01:18] <Mike9863> tiox: Also, earlier I was able to get the second monitor to work with a lower resolution, but now it looks like it won't do that either.
[01:18] <kyan> edbian: I assume you mean libglib2.0-0
[01:18] <edbian> kyan: the packages bazhang listed.  IDK might have made a typo
[01:18] <KM0201> lion42: oneric is the beta
[01:18] <lwizardl> what is a good application to rename bulk files. for example removing the first 10 or so characters from a folder of files and keep the rest
[01:18] <KM0201> !11.10 | lion42
[01:18] <lion42> pfifo, also, it isn't much good luck. this laptop was a warranty replacement for my old one, a line which is no longer produced. :P
[01:18] <kyan> edbian: ok
[01:18] <edbian> kyan: sure
[01:19] <chilversc> though it makes no sense, why sometimes does it stop there, whilst other times it makes it to the login screen?
[01:19] <lion42> KM0201, where do I download the latest?
[01:19] <lion42> I don't have anything on this hd anymore so I can pretty much try anything once, lol
[01:20] <pfifo> lion42, from what I hear intel's HD series is pretty awesome, you just have to wait a few months to get full support, I would gladly trade my card for that deal
[01:20] <andrewh192> i have a quick prolly really simple problem that i need some help with. I am tryin to install a copy of Canon Printer software so i can use the scanner on the printer..
[01:20] <nicofs> bazhang, pfifo, rww - fyi: the solution is that the repo is "ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports"...
[01:20] <chilversc> ah excellent, login screen came up this time, so how do I switch to the terminal from here?
[01:20] <edbian> kyan: you there?
[01:20] <tiox> Mike9863: What's the exact model of video card?
[01:20] <andrewh192> the way it says to do it on the canon website isn't working
[01:20] <lion42> pfifo, I'm definitely not going to stop using ubuntu over this as it isn't a gamestopper, its just a pain in the butt.
[01:20] <andrewh192> i keep getting a response that it isn't able to find the file
[01:20] <tiox> I want to know this because if you are having these issues with your hardware, it might stem beyond HP PCs.
[01:20] <andrewh192> http://pastebin.com/H01weSR2
[01:21] <bazhang> linuxprinting.org says what about it andrewh192
[01:21] <tiox> (And help me broaded my searching on Google, lol
[01:21] <bazhang> andrewh192, check their database first
[01:22] <andrewh192> bazhang: ok, thanx
[01:22] <edbian> kyan: hi
[01:22] <kyan_> edbian: That restored the file.
[01:23] <edbian> kyan_: great! sudo gdm
[01:23] <edbian> kyan_: :)
[01:23] <kyan_> edbian: Now sudo gdm is back to the error: /usr/sbin/gdm-binary: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_mapped_file_unref
[01:23] <edbian> kyan_: alright hang on.
[01:24] <Mike9863> tiox: I don't know if I'm looking at the right thing, but: product: M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200]?
[01:25] <edbian> kyan_: mmmm
[01:26] <chilversc> bazhang: ah ha, I've found the terminal so what's this fix?
[01:26] <andrewh192> bazhang: i looked through their stuff, and it lead me back to canon's website
[01:26] <edbian> kyan_: This appears to be something: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549714
[01:26] <bazhang> andrewh192, whats the exact name and model number please
[01:26] <lion42> KM0201, nevermind, found it. I shall try and see what breaks or works.
[01:27] <andrewh192> Canon PIXMA MP210
[01:27] <KM0201> lion42: ok, sorry i missed the question
[01:27] <andrewh192> bazhang: Canon PIXMA MP210
[01:27] <lion42> no problem
[01:27] <kyan_> edbian: It looks like a different symbol that is having the lookup error; I don't know whether that's of any significance.
[01:27] <edbian> kyan_: I'm not sure.  This is strange.  When did this start happening?
[01:27] <andrewh192> bazhang: i was looking to get the application to use the scanner.
[01:28] <kyan_> edbian: After a particularly nasty crash when I was trying to build banshee from source.
[01:28] <edbian> kyan_: Yeah, I noticed the different symbol too.  If you look at the convo there are a TON of undefined symbols
[01:28] <andrewh192> bazhang: which i downloaded from the canon website, and its in a .deb file. but when i go to dpkg the file, it says the file doesn't exist
[01:28] <edbian> kyan_: I think banshee overwrote that file during that custom install.  Why did you wanna build / install banshee from source anyway?
[01:28] <kyan_> edbiann: Ah, undefined symbol: g_mapped_file_unref	(/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0)
[01:28] <bazhang> andrewh192, patience please
[01:28] <andrewh192> bazhang: i understand
[01:29] <andrewh192> bazhang: no worries...
[01:29] <kyan_> edbian: Because I didn't like the new versions of banshee, I wanted version 1.4.3 insteadi.
[01:29] <kyan_> edbian: Unfortunately in the process I royally screwed up
[01:29] <edbian> kyan_: I'm looking at that source right now
[01:30] <edbian> kyan_: http://banshee.fm/download/archives/1.4.3/  404 not found?
[01:30] <adubz> how can i force use network-manager i keep having to connect to my router wicd
[01:30] <mattalexx> How do I search for packages? aptitude doesn't seem to be installed by default and that's how I'm used to doing it. Is there another package that I can use?
[01:30] <Dawid> Hello. You know maybe some tutorial how to make a bot Send e-mail on the ECG?
[01:31] <edbian> mattalexx: install aptitude :)
[01:32] <kyan_> edbian: Weird.
[01:32] <bazhang> andrewh192, you have the deb? what about just double clicking it
[01:32] <edbian> kyan_: yeah...
[01:32] <XMF> if im going to take an intro to unix class, would ubuntu meet the needs of the class?
[01:32] <edbian> kyan_: Now I can't even look at what files it overwrote!
[01:32] <edbian> kyan_: Argh :(
[01:33] <rww> XMF: 1) Ubuntu is not a UNIX, 2) ask the teacher
[01:33] <kyan_> edbian: Oh yeah now I remember. I had to get a deb of the source from some repository somewhere. I'll go on a hunt again
[01:33] <Blue1> XMF: YEAH understand each distro is a bit different
[01:33] <edbian> kyan_: Even better!
[01:33] <andrewh192> bazhang: well, when i do that, opens with ubuntu software center
[01:33] <andrewh192> bazhang: then the software center says it can't be opened
[01:33] <kyan_> edbian: Also I build all the dependencies from source and installed them. Stupid, stupid!
[01:33] <bazhang> andrewh192, thats how it supposed to work
[01:33] <kyan_> edbian: And I have no idea what they were.
[01:33] <andrewh192> bazhang: i know.. that's what i actually tried first
[01:33] <edbian> kyan_: found this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/1.4.3-6/+build/1158143
[01:34] <bazhang> andrewh192, what about dpkg -i file.deb
[01:34] <codemonkey> Hello Guy's ~ I Want 2 Learn C Programming Under Linux
[01:34] <andrewh192> bazhang: that brought up this message
[01:34] <codemonkey> What I need
[01:34] <rww> codemonkey: the 'build-essential' package
[01:34] <codemonkey> rww ?
[01:34] <codemonkey> what's mean that
[01:34] <kyan_> edbian: libgio actually sounds vaguely familiar. It's possible that I build that from source too. So what I sohuld do I think is reinstall everything on which banhsee depends.
[01:34] <andrewh192> bazhang: http://pastebin.com/H01weSR2
[01:35] <rww> ubottu: build-essential | codemonkey
[01:35] <edbian> kyan_: Yes I agree.  Unfortunately there is no easy way to remove files that were installed from source.
[01:35] <kyan_> edbian: Dang!
[01:35] <edbian> kyan_: I think it would actually be easier to re-install to the newest ubuntu :P  but it's up to you!
[01:35] <codemonkey> I'm Not C Programmer
[01:35] <bazhang> andrewh192, was that the correct directory? presumably your downloads folder or Desktop
[01:35] <codemonkey> I Want 2 Learn C Programming Under Linux I Found Many Course On Windows
[01:36] <bazhang> codemonkey, check the links
[01:36] <andrewh192> bazhang: yeah, i was doing the command in the same folder the file was located
[01:36] <edbian> kyan_: That file is not in the banshee .deb
[01:36] <kyan_> edbian: It might be possible to reinstall enough stuff to unbreak it.
[01:36] <dli> codehotter, gcc and vi, the classic way
[01:36] <edbian> kyan_: Oh it's definitley possible.  Just probably really hard!
[01:36] <dli> codemonkey, or emacs
[01:36] <kyan_> edbian: Ok. :-P I bet I built some other package on which banshee depends from source and then istalled that.
[01:36] <codemonkey> bazhang, links where is the links
[01:36] <codemonkey> ?
[01:36] <andrewh192> bazhang: wait, i just realized something
[01:37] <edbian> kyan_: Yeah, you mentioned that.  That makes it even harder!
[01:37] <andrewh192> bazhang: the file that i am typing in is a name of another file that i need to download i guess first, and isn't with the zip file i got
[01:37] <kyan_> edbian: I'll try reinstalling a bunch of stuff then. I'm really reluctant to let go of my configuration because I have it just the way I like it.
[01:37] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware    <---- codemonkey
[01:37] <edbian> kyan_: save you /home folder   Is there anything configured outside of that?
[01:37] <codemonkey> there any course ?
[01:38] <bazhang> codemonkey, please read the links
[01:38] <kyan_> edbian: Yes, all through the system. Plenty of custom graphics in /usr/*, some apps in various random directories, scripts, fonts, etc.
[01:38] <edbian> kyan_: oh man
[01:39] <andrewh192> bazhang: ok.. so i have figured out that much, now its saying that while i got the right file now, its not in debian format
[01:39] <kyan_> edbian: Yeah...
[01:39] <edbian> kyan_: yah
[01:39] <bazhang> andrewh192, from the linuxprinting website db comments, it appears the MP220 drivers work for that very well
[01:40] <kyan_> edbian: You said it. It took a few months to get it all set up the way I like it.
[01:40] <edbian> kyan_: :(
[01:40] <andrewh192> bazhang: i can print already
[01:40] <andrewh192> bazhang: i am not tryin to install persay the printer driver
[01:40] <Mike9863> tiox: I will be back.
[01:41] <bazhang> andrewh192, the scanning, perhaps try simplescan then
[01:41] <andrewh192> bazhang: ok
[01:41] <kyan_> edbian: Yup. :( I'll then go through the process of trying to reinstall stuff (maybe all the libraries, gconf, banshee, stuff like that). Thank you very much for helping me. You have been very helpful. Have a good day!
[01:41] <babble> grr. is there a simple way to reload xchat.conf while xchat-gnome is running?
[01:41] <codemonkey> bazhang, This Links About When I Write My Code In C Or c++ I need to compile it
[01:41] <bazhang> babble, to do what
[01:41] <babble> (I apologize if this is a newb. question covered someplace obvious)
[01:41] <codemonkey> i need a c programming toturials
[01:42] <babble> bazhang, I'm futzing around with the conf. file and I'd like to stop quitting/reopening if I can
[01:42] <codemonkey> under linux unix
[01:42] <andrewh192> bazhang: gotcha
[01:42] <andrewh192> bazhang: it works... thanx
[01:42] <KM0201> codemonkey: i imagine google would turn up an enormous amount of info on this
[01:42] <bazhang> babble, to accomplish, what please be clear
[01:42] <babble> in this case, I'd like to edit the nick completion character
[01:42] <bazhang> babble, there is no need to quit at all
[01:43] <edbian> kyan_: you too!
[01:43] <babble> bazhang, I'd hoped not :)
[01:43] <pwnusmaximus> hi guys, im having trouble with the "remote desktop" app within ubuntu
[01:43] <codemonkey> KM0201,  I Search On Google But I Found Nothing
[01:43] <babble> (but why is nick complete still using comma? grr.)
[01:43] <bazhang> babble, choose last spoken, instead of alphabetical for tab complete
[01:43] <codemonkey> C Prgoramming On Windows
[01:43] <pwnusmaximus> i cant seem to get it to accept any connection, desptie removing any password and having it set to accept all connectionjs
[01:44] <bazhang> babble, you can set it to ---> : or what ever
[01:44] <codemonkey> What's Best Programming Language I need To LEarn ?
[01:44] <babble> bazhang, to change the nick completion *inserted character* from comma to colon?
[01:44] <KM0201> codemonkey: your google fu needs work..  http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/programming-scripting/131935-how-do-i-do-c-programming-ubuntu.html
[01:44] <babble> I've edited that twice and it keeps reverting.
[01:44] <babble> what am I missing?
[01:44] <Faryshta> codemonkey, what are you planning to do?
[01:44] <pwnusmaximus> the only lead i have is that when i click on the "localhost." link i get a Failed to execute child process "kmailservice" (No such file or directory)
[01:44] <pwnusmaximus> any tips?
[01:44] <bazhang> babble, I use xchat, xchat-gnome is not that much different, I'd imagine
[01:44] <Faryshta> codemonkey, graphics, web, videogames?
[01:44] <codemonkey> web
[01:44] <KM0201> pwnusmaximus: did you open port 5900 on your router
[01:44] <babble> yeah, I'm looking in the conf file.
[01:44] <codemonkey> Faryshta Salam Aleykom :)
[01:45] <babble> I'm at a loss why it keeps reverting.
[01:45] <babble> I'll live with it if I have to
[01:45] <pwnusmaximus> its a local connection
[01:45] <bazhang> codemonkey, thats not on topic here
[01:45] <pwnusmaximus> KM0201: its on the same network
[01:45] <Faryshta> codemonkey, sorry I only speak spanish and english.
[01:45] <KM0201> pwnusmaximus: hmm...
[01:45] <KM0201> !vnc
[01:45] <Flannel> babble: Xchat probably resaves its config file when you close it or something.  Change it through the XChat configuration menus instead
[01:45] <pwnusmaximus> im going to update my KMailservice but other than that i cant think of a reason its not working
[01:46] <babble> Flannel, I'm in xchat-gnome; I have severely restricted config options
[01:46] <babble> (which I *generally* prefer)
[01:46] <KM0201> pwnusmaximus: dunno, i don't really use it on my local network, usually if i'm using vnc, i'm helping someone via the internet, and i just set up a reverse conneciton
[01:46] <babble> (except in this specific case. hehe0
[01:46] <KM0201> babble: thatas your prob.. :) xchat-gnome compared to regular xchat, is like a porche to a pinto
[01:46] <KM0201> lol
[01:47] <pwnusmaximus> KM0201: is there any dead simple solutions you can think of?
[01:47] <babble> KM0201, haha, I get that, but I'm more or less happy with *-gnome :)
[01:47] <KM0201> pwnusmaximus: not really, like i said, i dont use it all that much
[01:47] <pwnusmaximus> this is my only linux box, all my other machines i have set up through Logmein
[01:47] <pwnusmaximus> :(
[01:47] <KM0201> babble: yeah, its a simple client, but really doesn't have a lot of options (as you see)
[01:48] <Flannel> babble: If it doesn't let you, then it looks like the only way would be to close xchat, edit the config, and restart xchat.  I don't know of anyway for xchat to resource the config files
[01:48] <babble> Like I said, I'll live with it if I have to. It's a cosmetic niggle.
[01:48] <pwnusmaximus> well ill keep pokin' round
[01:48] <pwnusmaximus> thanks! see you round
[01:48] <KM0201> pwnusmaximus: can you use logmein for linux?
[01:48] <babble> Flannel, yeah, I've been doing that (hence my flurry of rejoins over the last few mins)
[01:48] <KM0201> guess not..lol
[01:50] <babble> hmmm.
[01:51] <babble> babble: testing
[01:51] <babble> haha, yay :)
[01:51] <babble> I haven't a clue what I did differently this time, but yay, it stuck :)
[01:53] <babble> nowly: my other issue - does anybody know if there's an rc/mainline kernel that fixes the ad-hoc networking issue in natty on ralink cards?
[01:53] <Mike9863> :(((
[01:54] <Mike9863> Whoops, wrong box!
[01:54] <adubz> how can i use network manager for networking
[01:54] <babble> (I can't make or join ad-hoc wifi networks atm, and it looks like a known issue affecting a slew of wifi cards)
[01:54] <adubz> im using bt5 i know i know this is not a bt channel well bt is built on 10.04 ubuntu lts out of box bt doenst use network manager
[01:54] <adubz> i installed it want to use it but im not having much luck
[01:55] <bazhang> #backtrack-linux adubz
[01:56] <adubz> yep there is no activity there
[01:57] <bazhang> adubz, be patient. bt is not supported here.
[01:57] <rww> Something to ponder next time you're picking which distro to install ;)
[01:57] <dradec> I have a quick question. When you sync and publish keys using seahorse, are the three key servers listed the only ones that have your keys?
[01:58] <rww> dradec: generally, GPG/PGP key servers exchange keys with other servers, so probably not
[01:59] <babble> (is there any reason I *don't* want my pubkeys spread far and wide?)
[01:59] <dradec> rww, oh ok
[01:59] <edbian> Trying to get wake on lan working.  My laptop has wol in the bios.  I turned it on.  But when the system is off there are no lights on the nic, not the link light or the activity light.  Is this normal?  (wol is not working)
[02:00] <jrib> babble: no
[02:01] <Mr_Sonoma> anyone have a suggestion on not being able to boot a sandisk live usb? after running start-up disk creator then putting the drive into target computer the usb disk comes up as not bootable.
[02:02] <kyan> edbian: Hello again... I bet you did not want to see my name pop up just then. :-D I think I'm getting somewhere, but I'm not sure quite what to do next... When I try to install any package, I get the symbol loading error. So now I am basically stuck. It says that a large number of packages are not configured. Can you help me with this?
[02:02] <babble> jrib: sigh. thanks tho :)
[02:02] <edbian> kyan: sudo apt-get -f install  ?
[02:02] <rww> Mr_Sonoma: remove U3 from the USB stick. There's a utility on the stick to do it in Windows, or you can use u3-tool in the repositories
[02:02] <edbian> kyan: to fix broken packages?
[02:03] <kyan> edbian: Yes. Same response with -f
[02:03] <edbian> kyan: then IDK
[02:03] <jrib> babble: I was answering your pubkey question
[02:04] <kyan> edbian: Hmm. Okay, ah well. I was thinknig the "not configured yet" message was a clue, so I'll just do some web searching. Sorry to bother you again. Thanks.
[02:05] <edbian> kyan: good luck!
[02:05] <kyan> edbian: Thanks!
[02:06] <babble> jrib: aha! thanks :)
[02:06] <babble> hehe
[02:06] <babble> I can be a newb. sometimes. :)
[02:06] <edbian> Trying to get wake on lan working.  My laptop has wol in the bios.  I turned it on.  But when the system is off there are no lights on the nic, not the link light or the activity light.  Is this normal?  (wol is not working)
[02:07] <Mr_Sonoma> ok thanks rww , brb
[02:07] <induz> I downloaded acetoneiso from software mager but I dont see it anywahere
[02:08] <induz> where is the program
[02:11] <wildbat> edbian, hmmm i don't know but my laptop have green light on ~
[02:11] <edbian> wildbat: yeah, usually there is that.
[02:11] <edbian> strange
[02:12] <ghostnik11> is there a way i can undo a chmod?
[02:13] <qin> ghostnik11: How did you chmoded? man chmod
[02:14] <ghostnik11> qin, i did chmod 777 videourlinstantempo.linux or something like thatt
[02:14] <edbian> ghostnik11: You can chmod it back to the original permissions but there is no 'undo'
[02:14] <mrwizard> do u know what permission lvl u want to set it at?
[02:15] <qin> induz: dpkg -L acetoniso, locate acetoniso, which acetoniso
[02:15] <ghostnik11> edbian, can i just delete the executable and that can take care of the plugin
[02:15] <edbian> ghostnik11: I have no idea (probably not)
[02:16] <mrwizard> anyone on here know anything bout aircrack-ng via atheros devices?
[02:16] <ghostnik11> edbian, its just a plugin that lets me bypass megavideo limit but now i dont want it anymore
[02:16] <TrentH> Hello folks, how can I go about sharing my wireless connection to my wired connection?
[02:17] <bazhang> !ics > TrentH
[02:17] <dli> TrentH, to get network by wired connection to a computer with wifi access?
[02:18] <TrentH> bazhang, ily<3
[02:18] <TrentH> dli, no wireless to wired. my PC to muh xbox
[02:18] <IMBACK> hello
[02:18] <TrentH> Hello IMBACK
[02:18] <henry_> hi
[02:19] <Tigerboy> create a lan off of your wired
[02:19] <IMBACK> Hi trent
[02:19] <Tigerboy> nat to the wireless -- eg connection sharing
[02:20] <TrentH> bazhang: thank you :)
[02:20] <TrentH> that was simple enough :P
[02:21] <TrentH> Then just restart ye ol PC and connect ethernet cable to router
[02:21] <TrentH> THEHEHEHEHEHEHHE
[02:21] <Tigerboy> here's a general connection sharing wiki - http://wiki.debian.org/Internet_Connection_Sharing
[02:21] <lantis469> is the #hackforums IRC?
[02:22] <secoif_> on this ubuntu ami releases page http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/release/
[02:22] <Tigerboy> no i think he means wifi is connected to router
[02:22] <secoif_> is there some reason you can't have a large ebs backed instance
[02:22] <secoif_> on ec2?
[02:22] <TrentH> Know what I like best about ubuntu? Having to google everytime I want to install a program hhahahahha
[02:22] <secoif_> all the ebs backed instances are micro
[02:22] <mrwizard> debian aren't for the lazy
[02:23] <smw> secoif_, I use the page at cloud.ubuntu.com/ami
[02:23] <secoif_> smw ahh nice thanks
[02:23] <Tigerboy> Debi is good once you get it all set up right -- things work really well
[02:23] <smw> secoif_, you can have the ebs backed instance be any size.
[02:23] <secoif_> smw that's what I thbought, just wondering why ehere was a pattern
[02:23] <mrwizard> def true, great for being able to easily get everything just the way you want it ^^
[02:24] <smw> secoif_, although, 32bit or 64bit determines the allowed sizes
[02:24] <Tigerboy> just stupid things like forgetting to include the files to install grub in the installer (I man duh)
[02:24] <smw> secoif_, because you need to specify the size you want. It is showing an EXAMPLE using a micro
[02:24] <secoif_> awesome.
[02:25] <secoif_> yeah just ALL the examples for the ebs amis are micro
[02:25] <secoif_> thanks
[02:25] <TrentH> Tigerboy, I have a USB wifi card, as internet. So I wanted to share it's internet with my xbox 360.
[02:25] <mithridates> what's the ubuntu social channel?
[02:25] <smw> !ot > mithridates
[02:25] <henry_> do anyone know how to remove "an error occurred try again" on you tube iv tried everything??
[02:25] <Tigerboy> trenth: yes that's what I thought
[02:26] <rubenjr> hello
[02:26] <scoates> anyone have any luck building ircd-hybrid with SSL support? I'm running into the libpcre fail mentioned here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ircd-hybrid/+bug/749282
[02:26] <mrwizard> dont know if anyone can help...trying to figure out how to keep my atheros card from channel dumping to channel -1 when i try to grab handshakes in aircrack. anyone have any ideas?
[02:26] <dli> henry_, which player?
[02:27] <Tigerboy> you are basically turning your pc into a router (although it will still work as a pc too)
[02:27] <henry_> the youtube one
[02:27] <Tigerboy> it's called connection sharing
[02:27] <TrentH> Yep yep
[02:27] <henry_> its black
[02:27] <Tigerboy> you can check it in the networkmanager box
[02:27] <TrentH> Do I have to restart to make it work?
[02:27] <dli> TrentH, no rebooting needed
[02:28] <Tigerboy> no
[02:28] <Tigerboy> linux is much less of a rebooting system than windows
[02:30] <acce245> I have a question regarding the live CD x64 11.04 .  It won't boot all the way.  Is this the proper channel for this question?  Sorry, a newbie to IRC.
[02:31] <TrentH> acce245, this is the proper channel. Ask any questions
[02:31] <dli> acce245, can you verify the data when burning cd, or try live USB
[02:32] <Tigerboy> oh there is an ubuntu that undoes unity and makes it back to gnome
[02:32] <acce245> Alright.  Used CD to create OS on this machine.  USB won't go either.  This is an AMD 64 laptop, and I want to install on a Pentium 4 x64 Desktop.
[02:32] <Tigerboy> backtrack 5
[02:32] <acce245> Is this simply something I cannot do?
[02:32] <TrentH> acce245, your trying to use USB to install with or CD?
[02:33] <acce245> Both stop after the first purple screen with no Ubuntu logo.  Regular x86 version boots fine.
[02:33] <TrentH> acce245, that is interesting :|
[02:33] <acce245> Can boot from USB or CD on the desktop.
[02:33] <acce245> Yes, I thought so as well.
[02:33] <TrentH> but when booting on laptop, it fails?
[02:34] <acce245> No, on laptop went fine.
[02:34] <acce245> Desktop crashed about two weeks ago, so formatted my laptop.
[02:34] <acce245> Now using laptop from hard drive install.
[02:34] <TrentH> I'm confused, your trying to install on your laptop?
[02:34] <TrentH> I scared him off
[02:35] <TrentH> I think he was trying to use his desktop's HD on his laptop?
[02:36] <Tigerboy> not sure
[02:36] <TrentH> Can I connect another router to this router?
[02:36] <TrentH> Have like 18routers hooked up sharing a crap load of internet
[02:36] <Tigerboy> yes
[02:36] <TrentH> Good, I don't have that many PC's...but I wanna be the local datacenter
[02:36] <Tigerboy> are you hooked into every house on your block's internet?
[02:36] <TrentH> I have 4routers
[02:37] <TrentH> Nah i'm using a coffee can with a usb wifi adapter in it to steal a wifi signal
[02:37] <dli> TrentH, why not just a big switch, then, only one router required
[02:37] <Tigerboy> wait how do you get more than one line in
[02:37] <Tigerboy> cool
[02:37] <TrentH> dli, because a big switch won't look as nerdy as 5 routers duct-taped ontop of each other
[02:37] <TrentH> duh
[02:38] <Tigerboy> i am using a coffee can with a string to steal the vibrations and convert it into tcpip
[02:38] <TrentH> Tigerboy, i'm serious I have a coffee can taped to my microphone stand...
[02:38] <dli> I don't encrypt my wifi at home, but no one interested
[02:38] <Tigerboy> oh don't duct tape routers
[02:38] <TrentH> With a USB extention cable
[02:39] <Tigerboy> routers overheat and burn up
[02:39] <TrentH> dli, I have a nice WPA2 network near but but signal not strong enough to deauth clients to start the dictionary attack
[02:39] <dli> TrentH, for really complex network topology, I suggest you run VPN to get a simplified logic LAN
[02:39] <Tigerboy> i believe you so am I
[02:39] <Tigerboy> I have 25 meg internet using a cup with a sting
[02:39] <TrentH> I studdered when I type'd :(
[02:39] <Tigerboy> it's so cool
[02:40] <TrentH> I only get 25-36% signal strength depending on the time & day.
[02:40] <Tigerboy> use backspace it fixes studders
[02:40] <TrentH> I can only play games certain times of the day because of the signal strength
[02:40] <TrentH> I have a DISH antenna that I wanna hook it up to and give it a shot.
[02:41] <Tigerboy> if we all have cups connected with string to every other house in the world why do we need fiberoptic?
[02:41] <TrentH> I'll mount it on my roof, and steal everyone's wifi.
[02:41] <Tigerboy> people don't need wifit
[02:41] <Tigerboy> wifi
[02:41] <TrentH> WIFIT :3
[02:41] <TrentH> Wii-Fit?
[02:41] <TrentH> I need my balance board.
[02:41] <qin> TrentH: This is public channel...
[02:41] <Tigerboy> wifit bulks you
[02:41] <Tigerboy> up

[02:44] <Guest3819> heya i was here earlier, i'm having huge trouble following guides for installing ATI drivers, can someone help, my parcitular problem is i need (i think) the latest one, because my laptop has 2 GPU's one mobile and one preformance, i'd like to be able to switch between the two
[02:44] <HavokD> so, yeah, i've formatted 4 times now with varying guides, some meaning it just goes blank, others make it go to a terminal and not .... do anything, .... all suck
[02:45] <tiox> qin: Wisdom comes in varying grades. I was gathering information somebody else could use more effectively.
[02:45] <TrentH> HavokD, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[02:45] <Tigerboy> exactly who's question was I not responding to I was engaged with several people all joking around
[02:45] <tiox> Except, I don't know some things like how to narrow down with the lshw command.
[02:46] <tiox> All of my wisdom came from guides and people like you. So, thank you. :)
[02:46] <qin> tiox: man lshw (i think -C)

[02:46] <jvgeli> having issues with my Realtek card not being detected by Natty. Tried installing the driver manually to no avail. any suggestions?
[02:47] <nnull> running lucid, just turn on my pc, and when i login, a white terminal appears at the top left hand corner.. nothng else.. typing exit reboots the system.. whats happened here.. odd seeing this pc has no networking enabled....
[02:47] <acce245> Actually, that would kill all my downloads.
[02:47] <TrentH> acce245, you did what?
[02:48] <[THC]AcidRain> why cant i login to my teamspeak server with admin?
[02:48] <[THC]AcidRain> i think the passwords file is lying to me about what superadmin/admin is
[02:48] <TrentH> [THC]AcidRain, this is ubuntu not teamspeak
[02:48] <TrentH> :P
[02:49] <[THC]AcidRain> lol
[02:49] <qin> nnull: Alt-Ctrl-F1 sould take you from term (vt7) to tty1.
[02:49] <nnull> qin, ok ill give that a go mate
[02:50] <TrentH> [THC]AcidRain, are you trying to login to your HTTP or TS client?
[02:51] <nnull> lol qin, yeah it does, but when i go back to ctrl+alt+f7 its still just a white terminal..
[02:51] <nnull> reminds me of old windows 95 when you replaced the kernal shell with cmd.exe lol
[02:51] <nnull> kernel*
[02:51] <qin> nnull: after login you could: sudo service gdm stop; sudo service gdm start. Also /var/log/Xorg.?.log may hold something.
[02:52] <jvgeli> having issues with my Realtek card not being detected by Natty. Tried installing the driver manually to no avail. any suggestions?
[02:52] <nnull> is it like an emergency terminal or something qin? never seen it do this before
[02:52] <nnull> will have a look
[02:53] <qin> nnull: No thats plain xterm, x with no "stuff" on it
[02:53] <blankster> hi all
[02:53] <blankster> how do i set something to run at login
[02:53] <blankster> for just one user
[02:54] <nnull> qin, yeah, just the background..
[02:54] <qin> blankster: tcontab -e and use @boot
[02:54] <qin> blankster: Sorry: crontab -e and use @boot
[02:54] <blankster> qin: no idea what that means
[02:55] <qin> !crontab | blankster
[02:55] <acce245> Well, shoot.  Network died for a moment.  Confirmed USB works on this machine.
[02:55] <preecher> when i open a folder & right click a file inside the folder one of my options is "copy to" and it gives me the choices of copying to either home folder or desktop----is there a way i can configure/edit where i wish to copy the file to other than the default choices? ub11.04
[02:55] <secoif_> we ahve a @reboot command that doesn't seem to run, perhaps if I switch it to @boot it will be aok?
[02:55] <blankster> i don't need a schedule
[02:55] <HavokD> TrentH, with that link
[02:55] <HavokD> how to di get the 'attached' deb file?
[02:55] <TrentH> HavokD, what?
[02:55] <HavokD> its some strange name with .bin at the end....
[02:56] <babble> (sorry, double post) - does anybody know if there's an rc kernel build (from kernel.ubuntu.com?) that fixes ad-hoc networking issues in Natty for ralink cards?
[02:56] <blankster> i made a .bash_login with the command in it
[02:56] <TrentH> HavokD, what part of that link?
[02:56] <blankster> it doesn't work
[02:56] <HavokD> TrentH, it says https://lists.launchpad.net/hybrid-graphics-linux/msg00528.html to download the .deb file attched to this email
[02:56] <HavokD> its not a .deb
[02:56] <blankster> !@boot
[02:56] <HavokD> upon double clicking ubuntu opens Synanptic package manager, and then says it can't find the repository its from
[02:57] <TrentH> HavokD, see the Attachment's at the bottom of the email?
[02:57] <TrentH> HavokD, download those
[02:57] <HavokD> TrentH, look at the extention
[02:57] <HavokD> mouse over the link
[02:57] <TrentH> HavokD, achment: acpi_call-dkms_1.0-1ubuntu1.1_all.deb
[02:58] <HavokD> mouse over it,
[02:58] <HavokD> https://lists.launchpad.net/hybrid-graphics-linux/bintv7twnYZeQ.bin @ TrentH
[02:58] <TrentH> HavokD, I see what your talking about now...just download them and run them as sudo ./whatever.bin
[02:58] <HavokD> k
[02:59] <acce245> Network is being screwy here.
[02:59] <HavokD> TrentH, i got a syntax error, something about an expected newline
[02:59] <TrentH> acce245, So you pop'd the HD out of your old desktop and put it in your P4 system? You can't get Ubuntu to install correctly on it?
[02:59] <HavokD> [yes i added +x first]
[03:00] <morning> I have a new Thinkpad on which I want to install Ubuntu. I think I'd like to keep the Windows recovery partition "just in case." How should I proceed?
[03:00] <nnull> qin, gdm stop resets the pc, gdm start, already running, Xorg logs dont seem to vary.. any other ideas?
[03:00] <acce245> The machine just needed an upgrade.  Put in a different hard drive.

[03:00] <fsr> driver
[03:01] <acce245> x64 won't boot completely from live CD.
[03:01] <acce245> Am I doing something wrong?
[03:01] <TrentH> acce245, are you using the X64 CD?
[03:01] <nnull> running lucid, just turn on my pc, and when i login, a white terminal appears at the top left hand corner.. nothng else.. typing exit reboots the system.. whats happened here.. odd seeing this pc has no networking enabled and was running fine last night..
[03:02] <qin> nnull: Boot with text instead of splash, hold shift at boot, in grub menu press e, change parameter to text...
[03:02] <acce245> Yes, and also tried x64 USB.  Both boot fine on this laptop I am currently using (as I am currently messing with the other machine).
[03:02] <nnull> and then qin?
[03:03] <acce245> I just tried the USB when my network hiccuped a few moments ago.
[03:03] <acce245> Just to be sure.
[03:03] <acce245> Data on USB and Disc seem fine.
[03:03] <qin> nnull: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:04] <TrentH> acce245, But you are using the correct version right? X64
[03:04] <nnull> qin, no networking  remember
[03:04] <acce245> Yes.
[03:04] <nnull> which makes me wonder how it happened at all
[03:04] <qin> nnull: omg
[03:04] <acce245> 11.04 x64 disc, which I made the USB with.
[03:04] <nnull> nothing has been changed, was working a charm for ever
[03:04] <TrentH> Alright try burning it to a disk?
[03:04] <nnull> till this morning..
[03:04] <acce245> Did.
[03:04] <acce245> Done.
[03:05] <martian> Is there a way to get the keyring manager to NOT ask you to auth when you have autologin set in the login panel?
[03:05] <acce245> It doesn't boot fully.
[03:05] <acce245> On the desktop.
[03:05] <TrentH> acce245, what does it do?
[03:05] <acce245> It shows the debianlinux line, then goes to the first purple screen with the logo at the bottom, then goes to the cursor flashing and hangs there.
[03:06] <acce245> On the laptop it continues booting from the live CD as normal.
[03:06] <TrentH> acce245, sounds like a bad install /burn or somthing
[03:06] <acce245> Or the USB.
[03:06] <nnull> is lucid a stable release? lol
[03:06] <acce245> But they both work on this machine.
[03:06] <qin> nnull: When you boot with text: sudo service gdm start and check logs for errs: dmesg, syslog, messages, kern.log, Xorg.0.log
[03:06] <TrentH> acce245, ....try to restart xserver
[03:06] <acce245> Hmmm?
[03:06] <brad_> sliptonic
[03:07] <acce245> I can't restart an xserver without, say, a terminal, can I?
[03:07] <TrentH> acce245, no...but can you get into the login screen?
[03:07] <qin> nnull: Lucid stable? 200+ uptime and null (zilch) issues.
[03:07] <acce245> On the live CD?
[03:08] <nnull> till this morning! :)
[03:08] <tcsadmin> vmware esxi v4.5, vm motava squid appliance, say webmin is installed but i can't seem to access it from https://serverip/10000, any ideas? the squid proxy is working
[03:08] <zykotick9> martian, you need to use "insecure" keyring storage, ie. no password.  Sorry I'm not sure how to do it with current systems.  goog luck.
[03:08] <TrentH> acce245, i'm not sure...
[03:08] <tcsadmin> ubuntu 9.10 karmic
[03:08] <acce245> Let me start again.
[03:08] <zykotick9> martian, s/goog/good ;)
[03:08] <kasinsk> suport brazilian off
[03:08] <acce245> Push power button on compy.
[03:08] <kasinsk> =s
[03:08] <qin> nnull: Did you reboot machine?
[03:09] <acce245> 11.04 x64 disc in drive.
[03:09] <rww> !webmin | tcsadmin
[03:09] <acce245> bios screen up.
[03:09] <rww> !eol | tcsadmin
[03:09] <martian> zykotick9: yeah... that's the problem. It seems like the gui option to remove your password has been removed :-/
[03:09] <nnull> qin, yeah
[03:09] <acce245> isolinux line up from live cd.
[03:09] <acce245> first purple screen with person in circle, no Ubuntu logo loader.
[03:09] <tcsadmin> rww - it is a vm appliance
[03:10] <acce245> Cursor flashing in upper left-hand of screen.
[03:10] <acce245> And that is where it stops.
[03:10] <qin> nnull: Then when peirvously did you reboot?
[03:10] <acce245> Just keeps flashing.
[03:10] <TrentH> acce245, that's on the live cd you say?
[03:10] <acce245> Yes.  Same results on live USB though.
[03:10] <rww> tcsadmin: And from the sound of it, it's running webmin and karmic, neither of which we support
[03:10] <acce245> Both CD and USB boot normally on this laptop, though.
[03:10] <w30>  /part
[03:10] <TrentH> acce245, sounds like a display isue
[03:11] <acce245> CPU and CD lights also stop, as though it isn't processing any information.

[03:11] <tcsadmin> rww - correct.  i was hoping someone had a similar setup. i don't want to upgrade anything until i get squid/dansguardian going
[03:11] <acce245> If it were a display issue, I would merely expect it to go out of range or something.
[03:11] <TrentH> acce245, give this a shot. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743535
[03:11] <nnull> qin, ive reboot about 5 times in the last 30 mins
[03:12] <nnull> qi, when i try startx it says im not authed to do so?
[03:12] <tcsadmin> rww - the vm appliance has squidguard too
[03:12] <nnull> qin *
[03:12] <qin> nnull: Nah, last time before fatal reboot?
[03:13] <nnull> whats a fatal reboot :)
[03:13] <tcsadmin> rww - i'm looking for a vm appliance that does proxy and internet filtering, e.g. dansguardian
[03:13] <acce245> Oho.
[03:13] <Infernet> hey all
[03:13] <qin> nnull: Yes, your Xauthority is set to console... with text boot start gdm and see errs
[03:14] <acce245> udevd[78]: errors.  In a pci slot.  hmmmm......
[03:14] <TrentH> acce245, Did that link help?
[03:14] <acce245> You may be onto something.
[03:15] <TrentH> < Pro googler
[03:16] <acce245> But I think it is a PCI conflict, not an actual terminal issue.  the ctrl-alt-Fn don't do anything.
[03:16] <acce245> Can't type anything.  This is a status screen like you get if you take off quiet boot.
[03:16] <zedster> acce245: do you have another os installed? can you boot into that? have you made any bios level changes or hw changes?
[03:17] <acce245> I think I am just getting a PCI conflict from my graphics card.
[03:17] <acce245> And that is hanging it somehow.  Graphics works fine on the freshly-installed x86.
[03:17] <qin> nnull: I have tried to ask if your machine was running forever or you rebooting regulary, this leads to question did you do any unusual operation, history and sudo history is good refreshement. I imagine that there is something wrong with gdm, either config, or something is missing.
[03:18] <acce245> brb, gonna pull graphics card and use onboard, see what happens.
[03:18] <zedster> I cannot get my vfat partition to mount rw in fstab, I have umask=0000 and rw as options. what am I missing?
[03:19] <nnull> qin, nothing irregular happened, i had this pc on usually for 2-3 days between reboots, again has no internet access, so no programs where being added removed (or altered i thought) .. so rather odd..
[03:20] <[THC]AcidRain> this may sound crazy, but i have a teamspeak server installed. how do i find the name of the server for when i type into terminal to start and stop?
[03:20] <[THC]AcidRain> this is a general ubuntu question for all servers btw
[03:20] <zedster> the name of the actual server?
[03:20] <nnull> i did upgrade everything about a week and a half ago, but it was running fine though a few reboots since then..
[03:20] <qin> nnull: Does gdm starts form tty?
[03:20] <[THC]AcidRain> zedster: no the name of the process on my computer, or the command that controls it
[03:20] <[THC]AcidRain> im trying to do it like teamspeak start/stop
[03:21] <[THC]AcidRain> teamspeak2-server
[03:21] <zedster> [THC]AcidRain: is it running?
[03:21] <[THC]AcidRain> but says command not found
[03:21] <[THC]AcidRain> yes
[03:21] <[THC]AcidRain> im connected to it now

[03:21] <ocmsRzr> Hi, I'm trying to record via my line in and it worked before, and now its really distorted and staticy
[03:21] <zedster> will list all the threads running right
[03:21] <Tigerboy> is there a sysop in this chat
[03:21] <acce245> awwwww yeah.  You guys are great.  Sorry if I seemed a bit out of sorts.
[03:21] <ocmsRzr> I'm trying to reset all of my pulseaudio settings but  I dont' know how
[03:21] <preecher>  when i open a folder & right click a file inside the folder one of my options is "copy to" and it gives me the choices of copying to either home folder or desktop----is there a way i can configure/edit where i wish to copy the file to other than the default choices? ub11.04
[03:21] <nnull> qin, nup
[03:21] <qin> nnull: Boot in to (via grub) recovery, and choose option - reconfigure x server
[03:22] <acce245> Unfortunately, it wasn't the issue listed in that thread.
[03:22] <qin> nnull: Also from "white box" try: gedit
[03:23] <HavokD> guys, i have an ati catalyst control center installed my new laptop supports 'hybrid graphics' i've tried the thing mentioned on the ubuntu page all its tests fail, and the Flgrx driver (catalyst control centre?) only sees the lesser of the two, there are two an ATI 4500m and 5750, the other problem is they are switchable, to use 3gb of system ram + 512 private, i would like to claim back 3gb of ram too....
[03:23] <acce245> It was, however, a PCI conflict with my Nvidia PCI Graphics card.
[03:23] <nnull> ok
[03:23] <Tigerboy> havokd: did you add drivers for each card
[03:24] <HavokD> Tigerboy, probably not, i've been trying to install oficial drivers all night, but upon reboot the screen is blank, i've followed serveral guides, and actually read them (not just. like copy and paste ninja)
[03:24] <acce245> Thank you TrentH and Zedster.  I don't know if it is just my lack of experience, but apparently a PCI graphics card can hang a live CD 11.04 64 bit on an Asrock motherboard.  Yay for experience points.
[03:24] <HavokD> Tigerboy, its not fun its not 0424 :/ time flies when you're drawing bloof from a stone
[03:25] <Tigerboy> Havokd:  I have had some luck with smxi but it can also cause problems
[03:25] <rww> Tigerboy: What do you mean by "sysop"?
[03:25] <Tigerboy> havokd: yes I know lol
[03:25] <HavokD> Tigerboy, There is an unknown display on an unknown device showing
[03:26] <pfifo> HavokD, what is the desired outcome, and what are acceptable outvcomes?
[03:26] <Tigerboy> HavokD: did you scan for display
[03:26] <zedster> any fstab guru's around?
[03:27] <HavokD> Tigerboy, yes, pfifo to be able to use all 6gb of ram, and the more powerful gpu at my command, acceptable: requring reboot
[03:27] <HavokD> zedster, yes, filesystems i can do
[03:27] <nnull> qin, gedit works.. but it has no desktop prettiness
[03:27] <Tigerboy> havokd: hmm you can have sharing of 2 gpus least common denominator with crossfire
[03:27] <Zabii> hello
[03:27] <zedster> HavokD: I'm trying to mount a vfat partition with the line :/dev/sda6 /media/disk-2 vfat auto,defaults,umask=000,rw
[03:28] <nnull> qin i found it
[03:28] <zedster> for some reason it will be rw until I open thunderbird which stores e-mails there and then the drive changes to ro
[03:28] <Zabii> i am having all kinds of trouble getting my wifi working on my acer ao721 on natty
[03:28] <nnull> "nautilus" and my desktop appeared..
[03:28] <Tigerboy> havokd: but there is no crossfire is there
[03:28] <HavokD> zedster, what's the prob? go to terminal "sudo mount -a" to see if it worked. and that means theres an error, it'll default to that when something happens,
[03:29] <HavokD> Tigerboy, there's not no, one is a 4500M the other is a HD 5750
[03:29] <qin> nnull: Hm?
[03:29] <zedster> HavokD: it's rw for a little and then changes due to something thunderbird is doing
[03:29] <nnull> qin, actually its still fugly, no desktop panels.. but my desktop appeared and i can right click on it..
[03:29] <Zabii> under the terminal thing i have read to enter
[03:29] <Zabii> it says
[03:29] <Zabii> acer-wireless
[03:29] <Zabii> soft switch blocked yes
[03:29] <Zabii> hard switch blocked no
[03:29] <FloodBot1> Zabii: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:29] <HavokD> zedster, thunderbird couldn't do it must be the filesystem switching due to an error
[03:30] <Tigerboy> havokd: I have got it to work on one box but it is not like windows 7
[03:30] <Tigerboy> Havokd: no instant crossfire that is
[03:30] <pfifo> HavokD, Im pretty sure the odl GPU couldeasilly be used with the intel drivers that come stock on linux at 1366*768, the better card of course has hardware accelration, which is what you need if you want ot ply black ops 2 on linus, but hey, black ops 2 wasnt ported to linux by the developer, I dont even thing blackops 1 was ported, or MW2 or COD4 or even sim city 2000
[03:30] <HavokD> Tigerboy, what could i acheive? the ram i've lost?
[03:30] <HavokD> pfifo, wut?
[03:30] <nnull> qin, compiz now i have window borders.. lol whats going on here..
[03:31] <Tigerboy> havokd: you get both gpus working on the one task if and only if you have crossfire
[03:31] <pfifo> HavokD, do you NEED hardware accelration in linux?
[03:31] <nnull> its like something just not running at startup
[03:31] <zedster> HavokD: before I open TB I can rw to the disk, after that it's read only
[03:31] <mac__> I'm having an issue with Ubuntu 11.04 boot on my intel 2nd gen /hd3000 , striped black white screen, forces several reboots before loadings the graphics
[03:32] <HavokD> zedster, its something for the forums, really.... its clearly working, the fs is encountering an error
[03:32] <Zabii> can anyone help me
[03:32] <zedster> HavokD: alright, thanks will give that a try when I'm done pulling out my hair :-)
[03:33] <mac__> fedora 15 kde boots normally
[03:34] <pfifo> HavokD, so what exactly are you trying todo with the superior graphics card that the lesser graphic cannot do?
[03:34] <mac__> does someone developing on ubuntu or linux understand what i need to fix, or how to create a n ormal startup?
[03:34] <Zabii> i decided ubuntu was a better choice on my netbook
[03:34] <HavokD> pfifo, get it working
[03:35] <pfifo> HavokD, for what purpose?
[03:35] <HavokD> .... pfifo that matters to you?
[03:37] <Zabii> also, the new interface for ubuntu is sweet
[03:37] <Zabii> i take it this isnt gnome at all?
[03:38] <HavokD> pfifo, Tigerboy i restarted my computer after choosing this no-screen no device option - i've been dropped to a command line on boot, startx says there are no screens found
[03:38] <TrentH> [THC]AcidRain, did you get your server fixed?
[03:38] <Tigerboy> havokd: it should work but I haven't gotten a way to make the crossfire mode activate even in liquorix kernels
[03:38] <pfifo> HavokD, yes it does, greatly. You old video card is 100% supported and works flawlessly with your needs so far, there is nothing it cannot do that you couls want todo with with linux. It works great in Windows you said, and of course games are made for windows, which leaves a big blak spot followed by a question mark for your intention. If your whole intention is to get a non working piece of hardware to function properly in linux then #kernel
[03:38] <pfifo>  is the place for you.
[03:39] <Tigerboy> havokd: what I think should happen is that you get 2 of the lesser cards, effectively
[03:40] <HavokD> pfifo, i wish to use it for calculations, GPU's are great for that
[03:40] <HavokD> assist me in my research
[03:40] <pfifo> HavokD, what kind of calculations? sha256?
[03:40] <HavokD> got any matrix calculators, with a GPU that's practically hardware, same with vector
[03:40] <HavokD> that's a hashing algorithm, don't be daft
[03:41] <pfifo> HavokD, last i checked OpenCL dosent cre what card is runing your display or what resolution your display is at
[03:42] <Zabii> nevermind, found a fix!
[03:42] <Zabii> :D:D:D
[03:42] <HavokD> pfifo, i'm guessing your thinking of bitcoin mining, no never, what a stupid waist of resources that is
[03:42] <pfifo> HavokD, are you looking for a one line fix all fr getting gigahashes on your bitcoin miner?
[03:42] <HavokD> i purchased a laptop with this hardware, i want this hardware working
[03:42] <nnull> gone to lunch qin? :)
[03:43] <Zabii> what kind of fun programs do you all use on ubuntu
[03:43] <HavokD> no pfifo once again, i think that currency is a waist of time and resources.
[03:44] <HavokD> pfifo, i simply want my hardware to work, and to be able to use it, most it'll get used for is oblivion
[03:44] <Tigerboy> havokd how do you exchange things?
[03:44] <pfifo> HavokD, well lucky for you the develpoers of the HD intel linux drive do not, but it not ready and not included in 2.6.32.32, you HAVE to use the old card with 2D for now.
[03:45] <HavokD> Tigerboy, exchange what? pfifo just shush now
[03:45] <pfifo> HavokD, Oblivion a linux only game?
[03:45] <Tigerboy> pfifo: are not the intel  hd open source -- i mean 3d
[03:46] <HavokD> pfifo, i thought something of you earlier today, but now i don't want to feed the trolls
[03:46] <Tigerboy> havokd: you should currency is a waste-- exchange-- and also right after bitcoin which is a digital currency system (non-dollar based as I understand it)
[03:46] <Tigerboy> *said
[03:47] <HavokD> I find bitcoins to be an apauling waist of energy, then, regardless, i just want my ram back -.-
[03:48] <pfifo> Tigerboy, I was looking into this before, his new card is Intel HD, it isnt 'supported' in ubuntu and last I heard the latests sources are incomplete. I certianly hope you know something more but if not at this point the best he can get is 2d with the 4x series card
[03:48] <Tigerboy> havokd: I thought it was just an attempt to create some new currency method
[03:48] <HavokD> Tigerboy, not here in the help chat
[03:48] <HavokD> pfifo, its not its a radeon 4500M
[03:49] <Tigerboy> pfifo: just helped someone with that -- the hd drivers are open source 100 percent but whether they are in the repos is another question.. it did work on this one card from deb repos
[03:50] <Tigerboy> havokd: then don't bring it up
[03:50] <HavokD> i didn't pfifo  did
[03:50] <zykotick9> Tigerboy, actually 100% open source, um they still rely on non-free firmware, thus h-node.com has 0 ATI cards with 3D
[03:50] <pfifo> Tigerboy, I have an nvidia, I know ATI works, Intel, is new. thats all I can really say for sure. My understanding of it is its not ready
[03:51] <Tigerboy> the drivers are 100 percent open source not the firmware-- but the firmware calls are published all the info you need  that is
[03:52] <Tigerboy> pfifo: i'm only referring to intel
[03:52] <ritzz> hi everyone is there a way to export a my list of radio station on banshee to tomahawk?
[03:53] <Tigerboy> what I think is we should push all the vendors to at least make the drivers open source
[03:53] <Tigerboy> intel was the first hd/3d vendor to do it no number 2's yet
[03:54] <pfifo> Tigerboy, so what command does that in HavokD's computer?
[03:54] <nnull> lucid, reboot my pc, login, white terminal only thing that appears, typing compiz, gedit etc bring them back.. whats not loading at startup???
[03:55] <Tigerboy> pfifo: command to make crossfire work?
[03:55] <melvincv> I just lost my ADSL connection, syslog says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/650992/  Please tell me what this means.
[03:55] <pfifo> nnull, removee compiz from the setup
[03:56] <ritzz> i think banshee doesnt want to let us go to some other player
[03:59] <pfifo> !details | ritzz
[03:59] <DemeGeek> This might be a bit off of the main topic but if I have a bash script that uses programs that require sudo can I just sudo the script to make them work?
[03:59] <[THC]AcidRain> will someone tell me if they can ping my teamspeak server at acidshower.com:8767
[03:59] <pfifo> DemeGeek, yes
[04:00] <DemeGeek> Thanks.
[04:00] <pfifo> !offtopic | [THC]AcidRain,

[04:00] <ritzz> i want to export my radio list from banshee to tomahawk player but i just see an import option is there a way to export and save radio list on banshee ?  im using ubuntu natty
[04:00] <ministerdude> Stupid question but I need it. How do I get my floppy drive working?
[04:01] <pfifo> wow
[04:01] <pfifo> !floppy
[04:01] <nnull> think i know how to answer my question with anotherr.
[04:02] <nnull> How can i make it so my pc only shows a white terminal upon booting? ;)
[04:02] <ritzz> is this ok, or need some more info?... kind of new in here
[04:02] <Rei`ZzZz> nnull: As in once you're in X?
[04:02] <nnull> Rei`ZzZz: or from textmode
[04:02] <nnull> either way
[04:02] <nnull> umm sorry
[04:02] <nnull> i mean yes
[04:02] <Rei`ZzZz> nano .xinitrc/.Xsession and change it to exec xterm :P
[04:03] <pfifo> nnull, boot with the option "noX" technically its a black terminal but yeah
[04:03] <nnull> ok and what would i need to put there to change it back to normal Rei`ZzZz ? :)))
[04:03] <Rei`ZzZz> Whatever you removed
[04:03] <Rei`ZzZz> I dunno if that works with gdm actually
[04:03] <nnull> which isnt there right nw
[04:03] <Rei`ZzZz> gdm might have its own configs
[04:03] <nnull> mk
[04:03] <ministerdude> cool link don't work
[04:04] <Rei`ZzZz> May I ask why specifically you want a white terminal? :P
[04:04] <pfifo> nnull, .xinitrc and .xsession are not used in ubuntu
[04:04] <nnull> Rei`ZzZz: i HAVE a white terminal, im trying to get it back to how its been for the last 6 months lol
[04:04] <Rei`ZzZz> Ubuntu does it the hard way apparently :P
[04:04] <Rei`ZzZz> So you want a white terminal instead of a black one? :P I don't get it :P
[04:04] <melvincv> I just lost my ADSL connection, syslog says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/650992/  Please tell me what this means.
[04:04] <nnull> i really like ubuntu, but these random (im broken hard) out of know wheres are starting to annoy me
[04:05] <pfifo> nnull, reinstall from scratch
[04:05] <nnull> lol
[04:05] <melvincv> It has happened for the third time.
[04:05] <Rei`ZzZz> nnull: What broke? Explain, I'm a bit tired
[04:05] <pfifo> nnull, im not being funny
[04:05] <melvincv> Is there a simple way to configure a PPPoE dialer in Ubuntu?
[04:05] <nnull> im sure your not pfifo, and do i reinstall again when that install breaks or? heh
[04:06] <Rei`ZzZz> nnull: How is your install broken? :P
[04:06] <nnull> Rei`ZzZz: been running smooth as chocolate, pc has no networking, nothings been added or altered since updating over a week ago, shutdown last night, turn on this morning, when i login all i get is a white terminal
[04:06] <rumbold1> is it possible to have a linux installation on a partition on the harddrive and then run it in a virtual machine when in windows so that i could boot into it properly but also use it when im in windows?
[04:06] <nnull> Rei`ZzZz: lauching "compiz , gedit" etc works..
[04:07] <Rei`ZzZz> So what did you have before?
[04:07] <nnull> and ive reboot this pc at least 6 times since (upgrading/changing anything)
[04:07] <nnull> and it was fine
[04:07] <com64> I want to scan with my Epson Stylus 4400 printer/scanner, but it only seems to show up as a printer. I tried using simple scan, but it said that no scanners were connected, and the printer showed up in Printing. I can't print out a page to test if it can print because I don't have any ink...
[04:07] <nnull> before i had a full compiz desktop
[04:07] <Rei`ZzZz> I have to admit one of the main reasons I moved from Linux to BSD was the random breaking everything
[04:07] <ritzz> no one?
[04:08] <Rei`ZzZz> And it works if you restart compiz etc you can get back to your full Compiz desktop?
[04:08] <nnull> Rei`ZzZz: ive literally been using the pc for a movie kiosk, been doing nothing on it aye lol.. like i havent changed anything and its like BOOM
[04:09] <Rei`ZzZz> Celerons really aren't made for compiling things
[04:09] <Rei`ZzZz> My comp is doing about 5 seconds per frame :P
[04:09] <nnull> whats the command again to change from compiz to umm whats the default one again lol
[04:09] <Rei`ZzZz> nnull: But do all the bits of your desktop work and it's just killed the startup config?
[04:09] <Rei`ZzZz> or is it all fubar?
[04:10] <Rei`ZzZz> or just compiz is fubar?
[04:10] <nnull> Rei`ZzZz: if launched independatly they all work!
[04:10] <nnull> wheres my startup cfg! lol
[04:10] <cactusfrog> anyone know any good software to stream videos to my ps3
[04:10] <Rei`ZzZz> did you have gnome or unity?
[04:10] <jvgeli> melvincv: happened to me a lot before. Disabling ipv6 did it for me.
[04:10] <Rei`ZzZz> nnull: I wish I knew :P I haven't used Ubuntu since umm
[04:10] <nnull> Rei`ZzZz: Gnome, its lucid
[04:10] <Rei`ZzZz> I think it was Intrepid
[04:10] <com64> cactusfrog, I usually play from USB drives...
[04:10] <kjeldor> hey
[04:11] <com64> but I remember using a streaming program, but I Can't remember the name
[04:11] <cactusfrog> com64, i know that vuze has a streaming option so its possible
[04:11] <com64> hm...

[04:13] <melvincv> ... how do I disable IPv6?
[04:13] <jvgeli> melvincv: what do you have? you wont need an eth0. PPPoE is configured separately.
[04:14] <kjeldor> how to I change the resolution of gtkvncviewer?
[04:14] <yagoo> i just tried apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager .. new install didnt have this.. this should be in the wiki
[04:15] <yagoo> are regular users allowed to edit the ubuntu wiki ? (i never tried)
[04:15] <melvincv> I have a connection in the DSL tab, but there are no IPv6 settings for it. Btw it worked fine till today.
[04:16] <melvincv> Do you understand what's happening in the log? Or who may I contact?

[04:45] <vibrant> Rei, this may be able to help you: http://lifehacker.com/5823762/a-bill+by+bill-guide-to-saving-money-on-your-monthly-expenses
[04:45] <vibrant> oops
[04:45] <vibrant> this is what i meant: http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en
[04:45] <vibrant> haha
[04:46] <vibrant> anyway, you should be able to edit gdm settings with Gconf Editor
[04:50] <lfender> what is a realy good media player for ubuntu
[04:50] <aldermikov> mplayer
[04:50] <aldermikov> sudo apt-get install mplayer
[04:51] <zykotick9> Rei`ZzZz, to prevent GDM from starting rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.disabled
[04:51] <lfender> thans
[04:51] <lfender> thanks
[04:51] <qin> lfender: vlc, sudo apt-get install vlc
[04:52] <bazhang> !players | lfender
[04:52] <Rei`ZzZz> lfender: moc
[04:52] <Rei`ZzZz> :P
[04:52] <Rei`ZzZz> Why isn't moc in that list? :(
[04:52] <aldermikov> lfender: after you install it, type man mplayer into a terminal and read to get a feel for it.
[04:54] <aldermikov> if you don't want to use the command-line interface, you can install smplayer which is a gui frontend for mplayer
[04:54] <lfender> is there a better free os then ubuntu
[04:54] <zykotick9> aldermikov, the "mplayer" package comes with a gui by default
[04:54] <Viper550> Okay, complication of the new Gnome 3 architecture for Oneiric: no appearance properties.
[04:54] <aldermikov> lfender: how do you mean free
[04:55] <zykotick9> Viper550, #ubuntu+1 for Oneiric questions/discussion
[04:55] <lfender> idk  just some  download you know
[04:55] <aldermikov> better is subjective then
[04:56] <aldermikov> different linux distros suit different people
[04:56] <lfender> and what do you  use
[04:57] <aldermikov> i hop on and off between ubuntu and debian
[04:57] <aldermikov> ubuntu is based on debian.
[04:57] <quentusrex_> Is there any way to get the ubuntu server installer to stop mounting swap?!?!?
[04:57] <lfender> see ive been  told that what can debian do that ubuntu cant
[04:58] <quentusrex_> I'm trying to repartition the drives, except that I can't repartition the swap partition because it always gets mounted.
[04:58] <aldermikov> debian is ubuntu without the training wheels
[04:58] <aldermikov> has a different release cycle
[04:58] <lfender> ook how
[04:58] <qin> lfender: www.distrowatch.com
[04:58] <ZiRiu> If you want to try debian go with #! first
[04:59] <insmod> anyone now where to get emesene plugins
[04:59] <aldermikov> ZiRiu: that's only if you want openbox
[04:59] <ZiRiu> It has xfce
[04:59] <aldermikov> or doesn't it have xfce now too
[04:59] <insmod> or webcam plugin
[04:59] <ZiRiu> I use awm with it though
[04:59] <aldermikov> you can just do a minimal debian install
[05:00] <aldermikov> and choose whatever de/wm you want
[05:00] <lfender> ok just tad mor detall
[05:00] <ZiRiu> But non-free drivers can be a bitch
[05:00] <aldermikov> lfender: how long have you been using ubuntu for
[05:01] <lfender> maybe 6 months
[05:01] <thegoodcushion> If I boot from a USB stick live distribution, will it mount the filesystem in RAM like a CD does or will the filesystem exist in the USB stick?
[05:02] <aldermikov> if you're comfortable with gnu/linux then i would say debian is a good distro to go to if you want to leave ubuntu
[05:02] <jinu_> how to mount vhd file in ubuntu?
[05:02] <aldermikov> try it out in a livecd though, first.
[05:03] <lfender> what was the last update of debian
[05:03] <aldermikov> debian has different releases that you can choose from
[05:04] <aldermikov> stable is outdated but very stable packages, that's the default
[05:04] <gogeta> aldermikov: eh its ol i tend not to like not haveing my drivers at install
[05:04] <gogeta> ok
[05:04] <kural> lfender, you could try wheezy
[05:04] <aldermikov> testing has newer packages, and is still really stable
[05:04] <gogeta> aldermikov: i just use xubuntu to stay away from unity
[05:05] <lfender> and wheezy is sorry i know i sound stupid still new to the hole thing
[05:06] <aldermikov> squeeze is stable, wheezy is testing, sid is unstable
[05:07] <jinu_> anybody know about vhd file mounting in linux
[05:08] <Tigerboy> aldermikov: you can also use classic desktop or just install full gnome
[05:08] <aldermikov> Tigerboy: wut
[05:08] <kural> jinu_, checked google ?
[05:08] <Tigerboy> -- to avoid unity
[05:09] <aldermikov> Tigerboy: you mean to say that to gogeta?
[05:09] <aldermikov> i haven't mentioned unity once
[05:09] <jinu_> kural: checked,but not got any useful result
[05:09] <Tigerboy> oh yes now I see
[05:09] <kural> jinu_ vdfuse
[05:10] <aldermikov> also 11.10 will only have unity, no gnome 2 fallback
[05:10] <aldermikov> so he is right in a sense that switching to xubuntu will dodge unity
[05:10] <Tigerboy> aldermikov: I don't think that will work out too well
[05:11] <aldermikov> Tigerboy: how do you mean
[05:11] <Tigerboy> aldermikov: I don't think moving away from gnome and controlling what desktop people use is going to work out
[05:12] <Tigerboy> -besides even on 11.10 you can still replace it
[05:12] <aldermikov> you can always do a minimal ubuntu install, that is true.
[05:12] <jinu_> kural: how to install vdfuse
[05:12] <aldermikov> also i'm already seeing people recommending linux minut over ubuntu since the whole unity fiasco started.
[05:12] <Tigerboy> aldermikov what is the ubuntu variant that goes back to gnome and removes unity
[05:13] <Tigerboy> aldermikov: backtrack 5
[05:13] <aldermikov> backtrack linux?
[05:13] <aldermikov> i am not in the security industry :v
[05:13] <TheCyph3r> backtrack has no purposes other than being a pen-test distro
[05:13] <aldermikov> not really a security enthusiast either
[05:14] <qin> Boring (all unity/ubuntu mouning)
[05:14] <Tigerboy> aldermikov: I think that's the only real difference
[05:14] <jinu_> kural:got it ,apt-get install virtualbox-ose-fuse  ok?
[05:14] <kural> jinu_, http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17574 ( longer path - but will help you understand )
[05:15] <kural> jinu_, yeah that would be okay
[05:19] <nnull> whats a script ubuntu executes upon logging in
[05:19] <civillian> if I build a kernel on a debian box using make-kpkg, will this install nicely on ubuntu?

[05:32] <tucemiux> ZiRiu: I dont think that's the way were supposed to handle it, I added an entry to 40_custom but how to I make it so that it appears as an option in the grub menu?
[05:35] <Tigerboy> iosolidar: do you mean www root?
[05:35] <iosolidar> yes: /var/www

[05:36] <bloodriver> I upgraded to 11.04 but my grub2 menu is goofy.  it shows 'ubuntu 2.6.38-10-pae' in the lead menu, the safe mode next, then 'Previous Linux versions' (defaults), then 'Windows 7'(dual boot w/win7).  If I enter the top selection...there is no graphics and drop to tty1.  If i enter the 'Previous Linux version', the machine goes to another menu where I can select 'ubuntu 2.6.38-10-pae (same as in first menu) but this selection w
[05:36] <bloodriver> orks.  Is there a way to fix the first menu?'  Have a screen capture if needed for visual interpretation of what's going on.
[05:37] <Tigerboy> iosolidar: check the owner and perms
[05:37] <ayaka> Ziber, mono too big
[05:37] <iosolidar> Tigerboy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingUseOfApacheHtaccessFiles
[05:37] <iosolidar> this helped
[05:38] <iosolidar> my <directory /var/ww> wasn't working because apparently ubuntu already had those configuration in available-sites/default
[05:38] <iosolidar> thanks for the help anyways :)
[05:38] <Tigerboy> isolidar: excellent-- yes also depends how apache runs but by default it's apache and nobody
[05:38] <ayaka> ZiRiu, I have tried can't open
[05:39] <ayaka> ZiRiu, it seems my path include some asia char causing the problem
[05:40] <Tigerboy> iosolidar: cool that you fixed it. becareful how you build apache and mysql  putting time into that has really helped me
[05:40] <ZiRiu> ayaka, I have never heard of that problem before.
[05:41] <ayaka> ZiRiu, when I open it I see the path it show like %85%54%er%d
[05:41] <iosolidar> ayaka: check man locale
[05:42] <ayaka> iosolidar, there is no problem there all is well before  I use utf-8 zh all the time
[05:42] <Tigerboy> ayaka and install clementine
[05:43] <Tigerboy> it has cue files support
[05:43] <Tigerboy> + it's a good prog
[05:45] <ayaka> Tigerboy, are you sure it seems don't show cue file at all
[05:45] <insmod> anyone now where to get emesene plugins
[05:45] <Tigerboy> Ayaka: yep
[05:46] <Tigerboy> ayaka: what version is it
[05:46] <ayaka> Tigerboy, 0.5.3
[05:46] <Tigerboy> oh there's newer ones
[05:47] <Tigerboy> get at least .0.7
[05:47] <Usr_Smith> This Unity interface is a little harder to get use to. Do you all like it?\
[05:47] <Tigerboy> ayaka: very nice prog
[05:47] <ZiRiu> usr_smith, sudo apt-get install awesome to join the master race
[05:47] <DrGrov> Good morning everybody
[05:47] <aldermikov> say, is there a way to achieve unity/win7 taskbar functionality in a gnome panel
[05:47] <Tigerboy> but I think 0.5 has it too anyway
[05:48] <aldermikov> just the launching/containing applications in single icons
[05:48] <ayaka> Tigerboy, but don't support cue, maybe cli program is well
[05:48] <DrGrov> What would you guys and girls say is a good Twitter client? I am completely new to Twitter so I would love a quick run through of a good client. Running Ubuntu 10.04.
[05:48] <Tigerboy> ayaka yes get the cli
[05:48] <aldermikov> DrGrov: the website?
[05:48] <bloodriver> I thought about mucking around in the grub.cfg file to see if'n I could straighten up the grub menu but...i'need to see examples to follow...
[05:49] <Tigerboy> it supports under playlists
[05:49] <DrGrov> aldermikov: Sure, I thought of that but I would prefer a desktop client to handle my Twitter account. I would not get carried away too much when I am working LOL
[05:49] <aldermikov> ah, not really sure then.
[05:50] <lion42> DrGrov, you should have gwibber already installed
[05:50] <lion42> (or did that not show up until a later version? I'm not sure)
[05:50] <slim_gaza> Hi I have installed ubuntu 11.04 however my wireless connection keeps crashing especially when I put my laptop to sleep. How can I remove the intel driver and active the sta broadcom. My laptop is aspire timeline 4810z thanks guys
[05:50] <DrGrov> lion42: Yes, I see that. Not sure I like it too much though. It feels messy :(
[05:50] <fedy> ufw
[05:50] <DrGrov> lion42: I don't like that layout of gwibber. How is it with Twitter? I set up preferences on my profile via browser or can I set it up via ex. gwibber as well?
[05:51] <lion42> DrGrov, I don't use twitter. No idea. :)
[05:51] <DrGrov> lion42: Ok :) I just got crazy about starting to use Twitter. No idea where I got it though LOL

[05:53] <Tigerboy> fedy: what question
[05:53] <str33t> Hello
[05:53] <str33t> Can anybody help me ?
[05:54] <lion42> Around a thousand people can help you. Care to be more specific?
[05:54] <DrGrov> lion42: I just joined in on #twitter to see what they would say to my silly questions LOL
[05:54] <fedy> how do you setup iptable rules
[05:54] <fedy> Tigerboy:
[05:54] <str33t> Hey
[05:54] <str33t> Can anybody help me please
[05:54] <lion42> DrGrov, did you find a program that works for you?
[05:54] <Tigerboy> fedy: just by first enabling -- then adding rules in the gui
[05:54] <str33t> Nobody helpss?
[05:54] <Tigerboy> fedy: download gufw
[05:55] <fedy> gufw
[05:55] <DrGrov> lion42: I think I would try something called qwit. The only thing which could cause a bother is Qt4. That means it is mainly for KDE and not GNOME?
[05:55] <Tigerboy> fedy: it will show up under administration
[05:55] <fedy> Tigerboy: i have al ready installed
[05:55] <bloodriver> has anyone had the experience with a grub menu inside a grub menu?
[05:56] <str33t> Hello
[05:56] <str33t> I could use a little help !
[05:56] <TrentH> Whenever I have my webcam plugged in my USB wifi adapter disconnects after about 5mins?
[05:56] <Tigerboy> fedy: just worry about opening ports for inbound things such as samba ports or webserver so people from outside can get in
[05:56] <bloodriver> if so...how does one undo/fix the darn then
[05:56] <lion42> DrGrov, I just installed it very quickly and see that it "works" with gnome: it adopts your theme and fonts and whatnot.
[05:56] <lion42> So it shouldn't be a problem.
[05:56] <TrentH> Tigerboy, fix my webcam & internet issue
[05:57] <lion42> (and now I have a twitter client and no twitter)
[05:57] <Tigerboy> trenth: what issue?
[05:57] <DrGrov> lion42: Ok good, I will test it now then. I hope it fills the needs I want from it. :) Thanks for testing
[05:57] <gladiator> k
[05:57] <fedy> Tigerboy: what do i enable incoming and outgoing?
[05:57] <str33t> Anybody got a 64 bit ubuntu ?
[05:58] <fedy> allow or deny
[05:58] <lion42> str33t, I suspect around 500+ people here do.
[05:58] <tottiq> hey, anyone has an idea on how to download an entire website using only the bash?
[05:58] <str33t> Can one of the 500+ help me
[05:58] <str33t> ??
[05:58] <str33t> I am on a 32 bit machine
[05:58] <str33t> And i need some code to be compiled on a 64 bit machine
[05:58] <TrentH> Tigerboy, I have my USB wifi adapter plugged in, when I plugin my webcam after about 5mins my wifi stops working and I have to restart PC.
[05:58] <lion42> tottiq, http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/downloading-entire-web-site-wget
[05:58] <Tigerboy> fedy: you can enable all outgoing (up to you) and then just only the ports you need for incoming-- by default enabling ufw will make it so all outgoling are allowed and all incoming are closed.
[05:58] <fedy> ty
[05:59] <tottiq> lion42, thank you
[05:59] <Tigerboy> trenth: can you try to move one of them to another port?
[05:59] <TrentH> Tigerboy, I can try...their both plugged into the front of my PC
[05:59] <str33t> can anybody with a 64 bit machine compile a small code for me ?
[05:59] <Tigerboy> trenth: ordinarily each two usb share some space
[06:00] <TrentH> Tigerboy, alright i'll plug it in the rear then :)
[06:00] <Tigerboy> trenth: good idea
[06:01] <Usr_Smith> ziriu: What is the Master Race??
[06:01] <harry_> where are
[06:01] <ayaka> Tigerboy, ZiRiu thank you]
[06:01] <bloodriver> ...how 'bout suggesting a web page?  I've googled this to a red rash.
[06:01] <robert__> is there an XServer channel i can change to?
[06:01] <Tigerboy> ayaka: ok :)
[06:01] <fedy> Tigerboy: when you deny incoming it stop the all internet access
[06:01] <ZiRiu> http://oi52.tinypic.com/2e19d1v.jpg  that is master race
[06:02] <vivanov> cant login in ubuntu one -> There was a problem while retrieving the credentials
[06:02] <Tigerboy> fedy: no
[06:02] <harry_> it my first chat so
[06:02] <fedy> i my case it does
[06:03] <str33t> Hello
[06:03] <str33t> Can anybody with a 64 bit machine
[06:03] <harry_> but im getting there
[06:03] <str33t> Help me with a little thing
[06:03] <str33t> Anybody with a 64 bit ubuntu ?
[06:03] <fedy> let me test again tigerboy
[06:04] <harry_> anyone red hat?
[06:04] <Tigerboy> fedy: by default all connections from outside to internal servers are blocked
[06:04] <codepal> when do you think ubuntu will get the ubuntu firefox modificiations plugin sorted out for FF5?
[06:05] <Tigerboy> Fedy: you want to be able to go out to external servers to see web pages and other things
[06:05] <harry_> master race
[06:05] <Tigerboy> fedy: if you have an internal webserver you can open port 80 (and other ports if you offer ssl as an example)
[06:05] <robert__> anyone familiar with the nVidia XServer settings to natty preferences/Monitors config.
[06:05] <harry_> we are the liberated ones
[06:06] <fedy> I am desktop user
[06:06] <Tigerboy> fedy: that allows people from the outside in only on port 80
[06:06] <harry_> free free free
[06:06] <harry_> may the source be with you
[06:06] <Tigerboy> fedy: than you don't need to open ports for internal servers so just enable ufw
[06:07] <Tigerboy> fedy: the default is fine for you
[06:07] <Tigerboy> fedy: in the gui (gufw) just unlock it and click the box to enable it. You just need to do that one time.
[06:08] <fedy> ty u for the info though if I do setup an internal server
[06:08] <bloodriver> I upgraded to 11.04 but my grub2 menu is goofy. it shows 'ubuntu 2.6.38-10-pae' in the lead menu, the safe mode next, then 'Previous Linux versions' (defaults), then 'Windows 7'(dual boot w/win7).

[06:08] <lion42> str33t is repeatedly pming me asking me to compile software despite me stating that I lack the skills to do it, much less verify that it is something I would actually trust to run. Can someone address their issue so it stops being my issue?
[06:09] <str33t> i dont want you to compile a software
[06:09] <str33t> just a small piece of code
[06:09] <str33t> problem is i am on 32 bit machine
[06:09] <str33t> and the code must be compiled on a 64 bit machine
[06:09] <blade> str33t, why?
[06:09] <fedy> TIgreboy: here the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw so the defualt is INcoming deny and outgoing allow?
[06:09] <zykotick9> bloodriver, I'd reinstall grub2 from the new install, then update-grub2 to have it re-add ubuntu/windows.  Best of luck.
[06:10] <robin0800> bloodriver, have a look in /etc/fstab to see whats going on
[06:11] <bloodriver> okay...gives me a direction to head in...hope it ain't a dark hole....thanks

[06:14] <bloodriver> ;-)
[06:15] <bloodriver> ciao belle
[06:16] <Tigerboy> fedy: just go to terminal and type sudo ufw --enable
[06:16] <Tigerboy> it should save it as a start up
[06:17] <Tigerboy> fedy: first type ufw --status
[06:17] <robert__> anyone using dual monitors with nVidia graphics card on?

[06:20] <robert__> when i check the nVidia Xserver settings it shows both monitors. but when i go to "Preferences/monitors from the main menu i only have the main monitor showing. how do i get the settings to go from the nVidia settings to gnome?
[06:20] <Clerisy> cam all of a sudden not working? light still comes on, just not connected to computer or something?
[06:20] <zykotick9> BitWraith, have a look in /etc/gdm perhaps (i have a /etc/gdm3, you won't) for a file called daemon.conf (might be different in your case) it seems to have an AutomaticLoginEnable=true line you might be able to modify
[06:21] <robert__> i need both monitors to run lyricue for my church.
[06:21] <str33t> anybody with a 64 bit ubuntu ?
[06:21] <str33t> who can compile a simple code ?
[06:22] <zykotick9> robert__, don't use Preferences/Monitors if you are using Nvidia propretary driver, just use nvidia-settings instead.
[06:22] <iosolidar> str33t: what language?
[06:22] <str33t> no language
[06:22] <str33t> simple bash compile
[06:22] <str33t> quake 3 source code compile
[06:22] <robert__> kk
[06:22] <str33t> thats all
[06:22] <str33t> can you or anybody help with it ?
[06:23] <str33t> ??
[06:23] <zykotick9> str33t, what would you do with it if you got it compiled?  you can't run it on 32bit.
[06:23] <iosolidar> str33t: if you really need it there are online compilers, maybe even 64 bit one (but for single source files)
[06:23] <iosolidar> or better yet free vps or trial vps servers
[06:23] <str33t> my server company runs 64 bit version
[06:24] <zykotick9> str33t, is this code available somewhere online to download?
[06:24] <str33t> yep
[06:24] <str33t> its pretty simple
[06:24] <str33t> takes 30 seconds only
[06:25] <str33t> can you do it ?
[06:25] <zykotick9> str33t, certainly not if you don't provide a link
[06:25] <str33t> sure
[06:25] <str33t> should i pm u ?
[06:25] <zykotick9> is this not "public" code?
[06:26] <str33t> its public
[06:26] <str33t> i hope ubuntu channel doesnt mind it
[06:26] <zykotick9> so just post the link in channel, so long as it's only 1 line
[06:26] <str33t> i am posting link to the page
[06:26] <str33t> which explains the whole process of compiling it
[06:26] <str33t> from the time of getting it
[06:27] <str33t> to compiling it
[06:27] <str33t> it takes 30 seconds in all
[06:27] <wols> !enter
[06:27] <FloodBot1> str33t: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:27] <zykotick9> !enter | str33t
[06:27] <str33t> lol ?
[06:27] <zykotick9> !pm > str33t
[06:28] <str33t> http://daffy.nerius.com/urtserver/
[06:28] <str33t> Check the link
[06:28] <str33t> It should give u the whole info
[06:28] <str33t> On how to get the source and compile it
[06:28] <str33t> Please apply all the patches in the step B
[06:28] <str33t> Step C*
[06:30] <str33t> zykotick9 ??
[06:30] <Garnasha> ok... So I upgraded to 11.04, slightly late but I haven't been using this machine much
[06:30] <zykotick9> str33t, i couldn't possibly have finished that fast?!?!
[06:30] <str33t> ohk
[06:30] <str33t> xD
[06:31] <wols> zykotick9: it takes 30 seconds in all. he said so!
[06:31] <wols> str33t: stop misusing your enter key already!
[06:31] <zykotick9> wols, he lied ;)
[06:31] <Garnasha> And I must say... What the hell did you do to the simple system of having one drop-down menu for normal programs, one for places and one for administration
[06:31] <str33t> no i didnt
[06:31] <str33t> it takes around 30 seconds
[06:31] <Garnasha> and why do I suddenly have LibreOffice instead of Open
[06:31] <str33t> i can copy the terminal codes in your pm
[06:32] <str33t> just copy them
[06:32] <str33t> and u should have the file
[06:32]  * wols puts the annoying kid on ignore
[06:32] <HackNewton> Garnasha, OpenOffice is now known as LibreOffice
[06:32] <wols> Garnasha: libreoffice is a fork of openoffice when oracle (as usual) got nasty and evil
[06:32] <Garnasha> ah, right
[06:32] <wols> HackNewton: not really
[06:32] <zykotick9> str33t, and you want ALL the patches applied?  ya, forget it.  perhaps someone else will help you.
[06:33] <str33t> dude
[06:33] <str33t> its a 30 second process
[06:33] <str33t> why are u acting so egoish ?
[06:33] <lion42> Garnasha, http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/change-classic-ubuntu-desktop-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[06:33] <lion42> that should solve your problem. :P
[06:33] <wols> str33t: the only egoist acting like a whiny kid is you
[06:33] <HackNewton> wols, its easy to say it than giving full explaintion ;)
[06:33] <wols> str33t: what cpu do you have?
[06:33] <str33t> 32 bit
[06:33] <str33t> thats why am asking for help
[06:33] <str33t> i am not acting egoist
[06:34] <wols> str33t: "32bit" is not a CPU.
[06:34] <str33t> nor am i whining
[06:34] <wols> cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep model
[06:34] <str33t> i am just asking for help
[06:34] <str33t> with a simple compilation
[06:34] <str33t> which only takes 30 seconds
[06:34] <str33t> max 1 minute
[06:34] <blade> cpu ... ie amd phenom x4 955 BE
[06:35] <blade> or lscpu
[06:35] <Garnasha> I'm beginning to think I'm too conservative about my preferences for Ubuntu... I came in at Karmic(Kharmic?) Koala and am still adjusting most of the look and a bit of the feel to that every time I upgrade
[06:35] <str33t> cpu Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2080  @ 1.73GHz
[06:35] <str33t> 2 core
[06:35] <HackNewton> Genuine ?
[06:36] <str33t> so u dont wanna help ?
[06:36] <str33t> nobody wanna help ?
[06:36] <blade> wols, can you pm me that terminal command for the cpu
[06:36] <snuxoll> eww, pentium dual core ;(
[06:36] <kural> can i buy ubuntu with bitcoins ?
[06:36] <wols>  < wols> cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep model
[06:36]  * wols gives himself the useless use of cat award
[06:36] <wols> blade: should be grep model /proc/cpuinfo
[06:36] <str33t> no ?
[06:36] <str33t> no help ?
[06:36] <fedy> test text color 123
[06:37] <str33t> just compiling a simple 30-60 second code
[06:37] <str33t> seems impossible in the ubuntu channel
[06:37] <iosolidar> str33t: patience
[06:37] <HackNewton> str33t, can you please tell your problem again
[06:37] <iosolidar> if people can help you they will
[06:37] <str33t> i need a person with 64 bit ubuntu
[06:37] <blade> str33t, it may be because people are here to help with UBUNTU problems
[06:38] <str33t> to execute 5-6 terminal commands for me
[06:38] <str33t> thats all
[06:38] <str33t> which only takes 60 seconds
[06:38] <str33t> and compiles a quake 3 server binary
[06:38] <snuxoll> and why can't you compile it yourself?
[06:38] <fedy> 123
[06:38] <str33t> because i am on a 32 bit ubuntu
[06:38] <blade> wols, model name	: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
[06:38] <snuxoll> you can compile 64bit code on 32bit
[06:38] <wols> fedy: pleae test elsewhere. this is not a channel for testing your client
[06:39] <str33t> no u cant
[06:39] <HackNewton> snuxoll, no
[06:39] <str33t> it errors out
[06:39] <str33t> my 32 bit compiles perfectly
[06:39] <blade> wols, try lscpu it will give more info
[06:39] <str33t> 64 bit errors out
[06:39] <snuxoll> HackNewton: erm, yes
[06:39] <str33t> @snuxoll no u cant
[06:39] <str33t> i tried !
[06:39] <snuxoll> you can't run 64-bit code on a 32bit os, but you can certainly compile and link it
[06:40] <str33t> no u cant !
[06:40] <blade> i dont see why you could not as long as you have the right lib files right snuxoll
[06:40] <HackNewton> snuxoll, can you explain it so we also can update our knowlage
[06:40] <str33t> u cant compile a quake 3 server source code for 64 bit on a 32 bit
[06:40] <snuxoll> str33t: because you only have 32bit libraries installed, you need the 64bit libs and to tell gcc to compile for the correct platform
[06:40] <str33t> ok that makes sense
[06:40] <blade> that's what i thought
[06:40] <str33t> help me with this then
[06:40] <str33t> should i tell u the errors ?
[06:41] <snuxoll> I don't know how to install the 64-bit libraries as I run a native 64-bit system, but you should just need to call gcc -m64 to make it compile a 64bit binary
[06:42] <snuxoll> but if you have access to a 64bit machine (I'm assuming you do if you're spending time compiling a 64bit binary), why don't you just compile it on that?
[06:42] <wols> HackNewton: -m32 and -m64 options. libc is already available as 64 and 32bit on every platform. other libs aren't
[06:42] <str33t> the game server company does give ssh access
[06:42] <str33t> doesnt*
[06:42] <str33t> so cant compile it there
[06:42] <snuxoll> oh, well, that's stupid
[06:42] <str33t> can u compile it for me please ?
[06:42] <str33t> it only takes 30-60 seconds
[06:43] <str33t> and ill pm u all the commands
[06:43] <HackNewton> wols, thanks
[06:43] <Garnasha> ok... I think I'm starting to get used to unity... Still not sure I won't set it to Classic, but I'll give it a try
[06:43] <snuxoll> sorry, my network adapter isn't working on that rig or I would
[06:43] <str33t> so u can do it like very easily
[06:43] <str33t> whats that supposed to mean ?
[06:43] <snuxoll> and I'm pretty sure OS X doesn't compile compatible binaries :P
[06:43] <snuxoll> it means I couldn't download the code to compile it on that machine
[06:43] <str33t> u are on OS X ?
[06:43] <Character7> If you like White Castle and you are on facebook, I emplore you to show your support by going to this page right away.... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-White-Castle-to-Arizona/117294818301070 I appreciate anyone that helps out.
[06:43] <str33t> or 64 bit linux ?
[06:44] <snuxoll> I'm on my macbook right now, yeah, my desktop runs arch 64 but it can't get online right now
[06:44] <str33t> the os must be linux and the machine must be 64 bit
[06:44] <root_> hello... somebody help me................how to used ubuntu
[06:44] <kural>  can i buy ubuntu with bitcoins ?
[06:44] <str33t> everybody in here is so stupid
[06:44] <str33t> u ask all sorts of questions
[06:44] <str33t> and in the end give a stupid reply
[06:44] <str33t> am out of the stupid channel
[06:44] <HackNewton> root_, there are many tutorials and books around there you can ues them
[06:44] <Garnasha> str33t: if everyone is so stupid, do it yourself
[06:45] <snuxoll> heh
[06:45] <snuxoll> he could have just made a PPA too
[06:45] <snuxoll> that's the funny part
[06:45] <HackNewton> root_, there is good webite called ubuntuguide.org that will help you
[06:46] <lion42> I don't think he liked me very much. He called me a "sarcastic little kid". :(
[06:46] <root_> i now ... im stupid... who can teach me
[06:46] <lion42> I'm wounded forever guys.
[06:46] <Garnasha> root_: what are you having trouble with? The new interface introduced with 11.04? Or are you fresh from windows and not familiar with any linux at all?
[06:46] <wols> root_: the first thing you do is stop running your irc client and other things as root
[06:46] <Garnasha> yeah, that too
[06:46] <HackNewton> Garnasha, i think he is newbie in linux
[06:46] <root_> yes when cant i do it
[06:47] <codepal>  when do you think ubuntu will get the ubuntu firefox modificiations plugin sorted out for FF5?
[06:47] <soulis77-SE> root_: Why have you install ubuntu?
[06:47] <wols> HackNewton: someone who runs as root in ubuntu is not a newbie. somone like this is an idiot
[06:47] <codepal> I like root
[06:47] <codepal> and I'm sensible
[06:47] <lion42> You have to go out of your way to login as root in ubuntu, don't you?
[06:47] <codepal> and I've done some dumb things.
[06:47] <HackNewton> wols, hmm you have point
[06:47] <codepal> what's so dangerous about running as root?
[06:47] <lion42> (as opposed to distros where it is the default)
[06:47] <Garnasha> HackNewton: oh dear, I'm not sure newbies can be taught Ubuntu on NN
[06:48] <Garnasha> not if they're used to windows
[06:48] <codepal> how does someone access your computer to destroy you if you run as root all the time in a terminal?
[06:48] <root_> i whant something new... im malaysia... not familiar with ubuntu
[06:48] <codepal> it's more preventative against user error - imo
[06:48] <bikcmp> hi all, i'm having a tad of trouble setting $JAVA_HOME.
[06:48] <codepal>  when do you think ubuntu will get the ubuntu firefox modificiations plugin sorted out for FF5?
[06:48] <codepal> bikcmp, tried which java ?
[06:48] <HackNewton> root_, everything have beginning anyway welcome to linux world and ofcoures to ubuntu
[06:48] <codepal> $ which java
[06:48] <soulis77-SE> root_ Tried surfing or perhaps bungy jump of you only want something new?
[06:49] <Garnasha> now if they're used to OS X or KDE, I think it's easier, not familiar with those environments but I got the impression Unity is inspired by features of those
[06:49] <bikcmp> codepal: returns /usr/bin/java
[06:49] <lion42> ALSO, completely unrelated question. Can I disable my godforsaken cd drive from ejecting in response to the button being pressed? Mine is way too sensitive and keeps ejecting for funsies.
[06:49] <HackNewton> root_, pm me
[06:49] <codepal> bikcmp, that's java home
[06:49] <bikcmp> ooh
[06:49] <codepal> so export it into your .bashrc
[06:49] <HackNewton> root_, i will look what can i help you
[06:49] <bikcmp> codepal: how would I go about doing that?
[06:49] <Garnasha> lion42: wait you want what now
[06:49] <ghabit> Hello. Just installed ubuntu - help! How I can 'zoom' video in player, to delete 'black parts' on the screen?
[06:49] <codepal> JAVA_HOME = /usr/bin/java
[06:49] <Garnasha> I'm not sure that's even possible on the hardware level
[06:49] <bikcmp> echo .bashrc >> JAVA_HOME = /usr/bin/java?
[06:50] <bikcmp> thanks codepal
[06:50] <Garnasha> ghabit: what video player?
[06:50] <codepal> .bashrc = /home/userdirectory/.bashrc
[06:50] <lion42> Garnasha, I don't want to have to remove the drive, but given the choice between that and risking that it straight breaks in half in my backpack...
[06:50] <codepal> bikcmp, yw
[06:50] <ghabit> Garnasha, default ubuntu player, I don't know software under ubuntu yet. )
[06:50] <Garnasha> ghabit: hmm, I suspect that's still totem
[06:50] <soulis77-SE> HackNewton: Good on you. We will make a note that you are afk for some days :)   root_: best wishes
[06:51] <HackNewton> soulis77-SE, :)
[06:51] <Garnasha> I have some... not so good experiences with totem
[06:51] <lion42> ..haha
[06:51] <bikcmp> codepal: interesting.
[06:51] <bikcmp> src/bin/nutch: line 251: /usr/bin/java/bin/java: Not a directory
[06:51] <bikcmp> src/bin/nutch: line 251: exec: /usr/bin/java/bin/java: cannot execute: Not a directory
[06:51] <bikcmp> export JAVA_HOME=/usr?
[06:51] <ghabit> Garnasha, maybe you can advise me something better? It's important for me to have 'zoom' option.
[06:52] <Garnasha> install vlc, if you already know it, it's also available for linux, if not, it's one of the, maybe the, best player(s) around afaik
[06:52] <bikcmp> hrm.  export JAVA_HOME=/usr gets it working, but then the app fails. :-p
[06:52] <Garnasha> not sure it has zoom
[06:52] <lion42> ghabit, what do you mean by "zoom"?
[06:52] <Garnasha> think so though
[06:52] <Garnasha> changing the aspect ratio is my guess
[06:53] <ghabit> lion42, for example - video have 4:3 ratio. And screen is 16:10. Without 'zoom' you can see black parts on the screen.
[06:53] <lion42> Oh, yeah. Of course.
[06:53] <Garnasha> yeah, that's the aspect ratio
[06:53] <ghabit> no
[06:53] <Garnasha> iirc some players also allow you to actually zoom in, but that's rather gimmicky in my opinion
[06:54] <ghabit> it's zoom. Aspect ratio will 'stretch' the picture.
[06:54] <ghabit> )
[06:54] <lion42> ... zooming will also stretch the picture.
[06:54] <lion42> You... can't make something out of nothing?
[06:54] <Garnasha> then that zoom will snip the sides off your picture?
[06:55] <ghabit> Garnasha, correct!
[06:56] <Garnasha> you can't fit 4:3 in 16:10 without either removing part of the image(worst solution imo), adding black bands(ugly/waste of space but stays true to original) or stretching
[06:56] <Garnasha> ah, ok, then we just differ on how that should be dealt with
[06:56] <Garnasha> I'm not sure VLC does what you want it to
[06:56] <Garnasha> I never tried :)
[06:57] <ghabit> Garnasha, which player do you using?
[06:57] <Garnasha> vlc
[06:57] <Garnasha> ah, checked
[06:58] <Garnasha> not with a video so I couldn't test what it did
[06:58] <lion42> Garnasha, yes, it does.
[06:58] <Garnasha> but it does have a menu "zoom"
[06:58] <zenergi> how important is it to have drives of the same make/model for a raid 5/6 in mdadm?
[06:58] <zykotick9> ghabit, in mplayer W & E keys zoom, but probably not enough for what you want to do.  Good luck.
[06:58] <codepal> bikcmp, so you've pointed it to your java binary and it's failing.... so does java run by itself alright?
[06:58] <codepal> bikcmp, can you load up the java console?
[06:59] <codepal> bikcmp, it's usually in the menu's somewhere, if you have some.
[06:59] <ghabit> zykotick9, is mplayer gui application?
[06:59] <zykotick9> ghabit, can be, there are many gui frontends
[06:59] <ghabit> zykotick9, thank you!
[06:59] <andrewh192> ok got a quick question for ya..
[07:00]  * KM0201 hopes to have a quick answer for ya
[07:00] <andrewh192> when ever i login to a server on quassel
[07:00] <andrewh192> it says "*** No ident response"
[07:00] <Polah> I have a script to gzip a file name bans_$(date +%d_%m_%k).sql, however gzip attempts to compress two files: bans_24_07_ and 1.sql, it seems to be breaking at the _ and %k, what could be causing this?
[07:00] <andrewh192> i was wondering if there was a way to make it so that whatever is supposed to respond on my end responds this tim
[07:01] <wols> andrewh192: pretty much no irc client on linux has a built in identd. and identd is utterly useless anyways
[07:01] <andrewh192> wols: oh
[07:01] <Polah> Nevermind, I put it in quotations which seems to have fixed it.
[07:01] <wols> andrewh192: install any identd and configure it
[07:01] <Garnasha> ghabit: if you'd like to try vlc, you can either search for it in the software center, or if you don't object to using the terminal, open that and type "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[07:01] <andrewh192> wols: where would i find it?
[07:01] <nothingspecial> Polah: always quote your variables
[07:01] <andrewh192> wols: what name would it be?
[07:01] <Garnasha> afaik vlc has its own gui
[07:01] <wols> apt-cache search ident
[07:02] <soulis77-SE> I got a security question. I have installed solr and have set permissions to the :port/solr/admin page so that only localhost can access. Is there something else I should think about in regards to securing it?
[07:02] <Polah> nothingspecial: It worked before for $(date +%d-%m-%Y).sql, thanks for the tip thought
[07:02] <ghabit> Garnasha, I'll try mplayer and vlc.
[07:02] <wols> soulis77-SE: make it only listen on localhost
[07:02] <wols> !info smplayer
[07:02] <Garnasha> ghabit: best of luck :)
[07:03] <wols> ghabit: get smplayer instead. it has a gui you can config
[07:03] <ghabit> wols, thanks!
[07:03] <kural> hello
[07:04] <nothingspecial> Polah: mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[07:04] <nothingspecial> Polah: Check out the pitfalls page also
[07:05] <chevymeister> Hey, is anyone willing to help me out with a grub installation issue? :)
[07:05] <wols> !ask | chevymeister
[07:05] <Polah> nothingspecial: Thanks, I'll have a look through.
[07:05] <Polah> chevymeister, that would depend on what the issue is.
[07:06] <AlexDevilLX> How to run system in Error Level 0.1.2.3? And what is that?
[07:06] <nit-wit> chevymeister, yeah
[07:06] <root_> somebody help me.... how ,,i what to change my name... so defult
[07:07] <chevymeister> I'm installing onto a raid-0 that holds some of my storage stuff. I made a seperate partition. When I try to install ubuntu on it I get 3 options after being told the bootloader won't install.
[07:07] <soulis77-SE> wols: which xml file should I edit when using ubuntu 10.04 for the only listen on local?
[07:07] <chevymeister> on /dev/sda
[07:07] <Garnasha> root_: you mean you don't know, and ended up with that name? Type "/nick whatever"
[07:07] <nit-wit> chevymeister, not familiar with raid myself carry on all.
[07:07] <wols> soulis77-SE: I don't have a clue what the daemon is you want to run. and it depends on the daemon and it's config. see its manpage, /usr/share/doc, etc
[07:08] <AlexDevilLX> root_: i have default_
[07:08] <AlexDevilLX> Thats cool nicks
[07:08] <Garnasha> also, if that's the default name it gave you... does that mean that's your username on your computer?
[07:08] <root_> nick whatever..................... ha ha ha very funny
[07:08] <Garnasha> something wrong there...
[07:09] <Garnasha> well, replace whatever with whatever you want, of course
[07:09] <root_> yasssss................
[07:09] <wols> Garnasha: yes it is his username. he intentionally runs as root
[07:10] <Garnasha> wols: So... pity him or scold him?
[07:10] <wols> root_: do you have a ubuntu related problem or question? this is not a normal chat channel, and not a IRC tutorial either
[07:10] <wols> Garnasha: scold. you have to work to run on ubuntu as root
[07:10] <Garnasha> I'm mostly puzzled
[07:10] <root_> i joint in ubutu livi last 10min ago... that mean im new... so in very new
[07:10] <kurtul> how can i install syncany on natty?
[07:11] <chevymeister> Is there a way to install grub to a partition rather than a hard drive (/dev/sda)? I think that's the issue with my raid.
[07:11] <Garnasha> how can someone be good enough at controlling linux to run as root but know nothing about linux
[07:11] <Garnasha> ehm
[07:11] <Garnasha> irc
[07:11] <root_> i whant to said  .. tq youtube.... to involf me in ubutu live
[07:11] <wols> chevymeister: grub-install /dev/sda1  installs to a partition
[07:12] <Garnasha> I'm starting to suspect he did something like pick "root" as his username(though, isn't that blocked by ubuntu?) on the assumption that that is the name for the main user or something
[07:12] <wols> !my > root
[07:13] <nit-wit> nothing like advertising for r kits
[07:14] <robin0800> ghabit, vlc can zoom video and is a very capable video player as well
[07:14] <wols> !my > root_
[07:14] <lion42> they're using an older version of xchat. Why would they have it if they just downloaded ubuntu?
[07:15] <Garnasha> root_: do you know anyone in real life who knows linux? I'd ask him/her, because you either need a lot of help sorting out your install, or a lot of scolding for messing around, or both, and irc doesn't make it easy to see which
[07:15] <themedu> !my | themedu
[07:16] <kbrown90> i heard that webmin is no longer supported in the 11.04 server, could someone direct me to a remote management program that i can use?
[07:17] <zykotick9> !webmin
[07:17] <zykotick9> kbrown90, oh sorry, i thought there was some alternative in that factoid
[07:17] <kural> Garnasha, is he really logged in root ? or its just a nick
[07:18] <lion42> kural, your default nick in xchat is your login name, followed by login_ and login__
[07:18] <ghabit> robin0800, thanks!
[07:18] <kural> has anybody managed xen-4.1.1 & linux-3.0.0 ?
[07:18] <ghabit> so. both of them smplayer and vlc can do that!
[07:18] <kural> lion42, is that so ?
[07:18] <zykotick9> kbrown90, sorry - i don't personally know of any.  Good luck.
[07:19] <lion42> kural, haha, sorry if that's something you know. But that is why people suspect he is actually logged in as root.
[07:19] <Garnasha> kural: I'm not sure, and it's not easy to check if he's messing around with us or just screwed up, someone who can look at his screen would have an easier time of it, that's why he should go to his local linux guru
[07:19] <kbrown90> thanks, anyone know of an alternative program for webmin i would appreciate it.
[07:20] <kural> Garnasha, ignore the fella then. :) ignore & itch will vanish
[07:20] <DrGrov> I got Twitter working. This is funny stuff
[07:21] <kural> DrGrov, are you on irc via twitter ?
[07:21] <DrGrov> kural: No, just registered to try it out.
[07:21] <kural> Okay
[07:22] <kural> DrGrov, try ttytter ...
[07:22] <HackNewton> hi again
[07:22] <kbrown90> anyone know of an alternative program for webmin i would appreciate it.
[07:22] <DrGrov> kural: I use gwibber, it seems to work really well.
[07:23] <kural> has anybody managed xen-4.1.1 & linux-3.0.0 ?
[07:23] <kural> DrGrov, enjoy.. spam the folks out there..
[07:23] <kural> DrGrov, ask them to RT your tweets and then RT those hahaha..
[07:24] <lion42> kbrosnan, "webmin alternative ubuntu" brings up a TON of results, none of which I have the background to evaluate for you.
[07:25] <Garnasha> this is weird
[07:25] <DrGrov> kural: No, I am serious about this.
[07:25] <kural> DrGrov, just joking ..
[07:25] <DrGrov> How do I even reply someone... Is it @ followed by their username?
[07:25] <DrGrov> kural: LOL :)
[07:25] <Garnasha> I have the manpage for Xchat 2.8.8, but the link in Dash still gives me 2.6.something
[07:26] <DrGrov> Or I mean, how do I post to someone a message and not only my own "wall" LOL
[07:26] <DrGrov> That would get strictly boring to follow my own tweets LOL
[07:26] <HackNewton> Garnasha, may be 2.8.* is not stable version to run
[07:27] <umc> hey guys. I noticed in my mail.log and syslog that someone is trying to brute-force their way into my box. lots of entries with "Jul 24 10:26:04 mybox pop3d: LOGIN FAILED, user=webmaster, ip=[::ffff:81.95.155.184]", I've installed fail2ban, enabled some sections in there, but it still doesn't block this. anyone knows what's the best approach to handle this ?
[07:27] <Garnasha> HackNewton: 2.8.8 is from 2010 according to the log on their site
[07:27] <Garnasha> and a fresh install of Ubuntu seems to come with 2.8.6, according to a ctcp of root_
[07:28] <Garnasha> mainly I was checking whether he was pulling our leg about being new, but now I'm not even sure what version are on my system
[07:28] <HackNewton> Garnasha, then its strange
[07:28] <lion42> Garnasha, no, it doesn't. That's what I pointed out earlier.
[07:29] <zykotick9> !info xchat lucid
[07:29] <lion42> It comes with 2.8.8
[07:29] <Garnasha> lion42: you checked that it doesn't? Because that's what I was trying to do, see if perhaps the default version is old
[07:29] <Garnasha> ah, ok
[07:29] <Garnasha> ah, well, there you have it
[07:30] <Garnasha> oh, no, wait, that's only for lucid lynx
[07:30] <Garnasha> that's... 10.04?
[07:30] <lion42> Garnasha, I just installed this copy of 11.04 a few hours ago. /ctcp lion42 version
[07:30] <zykotick9> Garnasha, if someone fresh install Lucid that is the version they would have
[07:30] <nothingspecial> kural: ttytter ..... this application could not be found
[07:30] <soulis77-SE> wols: It was the server.xml and I just added address="127.0.0.1" to get it only to listen to localhost. Thanks for the help in right direction.
[07:30] <Garnasha> and lucid is... the LTS version?
[07:31] <zykotick9> Garnasha, yup
[07:31] <Garnasha> so, mystery solved?
[07:31] <Koffa_> สวัสดีครับ มีคนไทยไหมครับ?
[07:31] <Garnasha> he is new, he got the long term support download and so has an older version of all software on it
[07:31] <HackNewton> Koffa_, english only please
[07:31] <hueloovoo> Hey, can someone tell me if removing python and wxpython from my computer will mess up my desktop?  I need specific versions of them to run OpenRPG.
[07:31] <soulis77-SE> lol4
[07:31] <kural> nothingcosmos, sorry . apt-get install ttytter
[07:31] <Koffa_> okie dokie Hacknewton
[07:32] <kural> nothingspecial, does that work
[07:32] <Koffa_> any Thai here?
[07:32] <kural> Koffa_, i like thai food :D
[07:32] <kural> ttytter
[07:32] <kural> console Twitter client
[07:32] <Koffa_> kural , thanx
[07:33] <Koffa_> i need some help
[07:33] <lion42> I had thai food just yesterday! But I do not believe I can assist with directions.
[07:33] <iszak> How do I change what the dollar key does? so instead of $ it does £
[07:33] <Garnasha> iszak: you'll need another keyboard layout for that
[07:33] <glebihan> hueloovoo, removing python will mess up your system, you can install several versions though
[07:33] <iszak> Garnasha, can't I just map a single key..
[07:33] <HackNewton> hueloovoo, well even if removal of python  does not mess your desktop many application may get fail to run as many of them use python. Anyways whats the problem with keeping files of python which are not big than some KBes
[07:34] <Garnasha> iszak: maybe, but I wouldn't know how
[07:34] <iszak> because my keyboard is a US keyboard and if I change it to say UK it means all the keys aren't going to map correctly.
[07:34] <Garnasha> yeah, that is a problem
[07:34] <vlt> !th | Koffa_
[07:34] <hueloovoo> Problem is, I need to roll the python2.6back from 2.6.6 to 2.6.2, and both of them occupy the same name.
[07:34] <Koffa_> thanx a million , ubottu
[07:35] <hueloovoo> And wxpython from 2.8.11 to 2.8.10
[07:36] <HackNewton> hueloovoo, well why you dont just reinstall python 2.8.6 again that may solve problem(i guess)
[07:36] <Garnasha> iszak: unless you'll be using it a lot, SCIM works fine for me, changing to typing the hex values of characters and back to normal typing
[07:36] <iszak> why does the ubuntuforum.org now require you to login :/
[07:36] <iszak> Garnasha, well.. basically I live in the UK now and I've got a US keyboard.. so I'll be using it a lot.
[07:36] <hueloovoo> I'll give it a shot, shouldn't hurt anything I guess right?
[07:36] <iszak> although that said, I will need a dollar sign for programming.
[07:36] <Garnasha> iszak: I live in the Netherlands, but I don't use the euro sign that much
[07:37] <iszak> hmm,
[07:37] <iszak> Thanks for your help Garnasha
[07:37] <iszak> Garnasha++
[07:37] <Garnasha> but, I'm not the best person to ask, I had my own fight with the keyboard layout and after a while I just gave up and settled for SCIM
[07:38] <ole> hello friends sme here knowing Idea #14431 hello worlds

[07:46] <Garnasha> damn, wrong key
[07:47] <lion42> HackNewton, it'll be a real person soon enough!
[07:47] <ole> i have just installed xchat and i don't knw how it works  hi hi
[07:47] <Garnasha> ole: ubottu är inte mänsklig
[07:47] <HackNewton> lion42, i am waiting for release :D
[07:48] <Garnasha> är robot
[07:48] <ole> newton i am also  radioamateur and i am vere glad for svxlink on ubuntu  working very good
[07:49] <ole> garnascha ok thanks for this answer
[07:49] <HackNewton> Its Garnasha's day today !
[07:49] <Garnasha> thank god all scandinavians understand each other, more or less
[07:50] <ole> garnasha yes but big difference to understand  taske in schwedish is a bad word  hi hi
[07:50] <_leven> i happened to select "automatic login" when i installed, and when i booted i got message hardware does not support one, please select basic at login prompt, but it skipps the prompt and freezes instead, any ideas how to fix?
[07:50] <kural> Garnasha, what was that language ?
[07:50] <Garnasha> Swedish
[07:51] <ole> kual he also understand scwedish
[07:51] <gogeta> someone is using google translate
[07:52] <gogeta> lol
[07:52] <Garnasha> but I barely speak it, actually had to use a dictionary to know what "human" is in swedish
[07:52] <ole> ok all friends i try to find an other useful channel
[07:52] <Garnasha> not google translate
[07:52] <Garnasha> rudimentary knowledge of the language and a good dictionary
[07:52] <kural> Garnasha, hey :D
[07:52] <glebihan>  _leven : restart the computer in recovery mode, go to root prompt and edit the file /etc/gdm.conf, putting the line "AutomaticLoginEnable=false" in it
[07:53] <kurtul> how do you install something via BZR??
[07:53] <gogeta> kurtul: bzr?
[07:53] <kurtul> yes
[07:53] <_leven> glebihan: ah sounds perfect, but it does not show grub prompt either, but i guess i can just do it from live boot instead..
[07:54] <gogeta> kurtul: never even herd of bzr
[07:54] <lion42> gogeta, presumably http://bazaar.canonical.com/en/
[07:54] <gogeta> oh lol
[07:54] <glebihan> _leven, to show grub prompt, you have to press the shift key at startup, a live boot would be good too
[07:55] <wrathfulv> good morning everyone
[07:57] <cypha> how do I send some ouptut directly to pastebin?
[07:57] <zykotick9> !pastebinit | cypha
[07:58] <cypha> can I pipe things to it?
[07:58] <zykotick9> cypha, see the "Simple usage" at the end of that factoid
[07:59] <cypha> what's -b http://paste.ubuntu.com
[07:59] <cypha> my preferred website?
[07:59] <cypha> *preferred pastebin website
[07:59] <zykotick9> cypha, that sends it to ubuntu's pastebin but others are available as well
[07:59] <cypha> cool
[08:00] <HackNewton> i like pastebin
[08:00] <HackNewton> :D
[08:00] <imperfect-> Anyone around?
[08:01] <imperfect-> Anyone know if there is anything better than/replacement for FreeNX to give me access to the guide?
[08:01] <imperfect-> er gui and also detach like screen?
[08:03] <HITIN> anyone who knows how to install lubuntu?
[08:03] <dr_willis> boot the lubuntu cd.. fillow directions
[08:04] <dr_willis> or install lybuntu-desktop packsge
[08:04] <HITIN> it comes to a screen sating boot
[08:05] <HITIN> i dont know the commands to install
[08:05] <dr_willis> so.. now we get to the actual question.....
[08:05] <lion42> HITIN, what does it say when you try to type -anything-?
[08:05] <dr_willis> what comes to a screen....
[08:05] <lion42> (type kittens, if you wish)
[08:06] <HITIN> its a black screen saying no interface or ui configuration found
[08:06] <HITIN> and it says boot:
[08:06] <dr_willis> you are booting a cd?
[08:06] <lion42> HITIN, type help on the boot: line and then press enter and tell us what it responds.
[08:06] <HITIN> i am using the one i downloaded from lbuntu website
[08:07] <lion42> (well. kittens would work just as well. I'll go with help for curiosity's sake)
[08:07] <rickardo75> I have issues installing flash into my chrome browser, I downloaded the plugin and put it into /opt/google/chrome but when type about:plugins it doesnt list.
[08:08] <HITIN> got it... it says error reading sector 81
[08:08] <HITIN> it means the cd is bad ...
[08:08] <HITIN> i will burn now cd ...
[08:09] <HITIN> could not find kernel image ..
[08:09] <aldermikov> rickardo75: doesn't chrome come packaged with its own version of flash?
[08:09] <lion42> HITIN, redownload the .iso, and use a fresh CD to burn it.
[08:10] <lion42> That should solve your problem like, 95% of the time.
[08:10] <ferni> rickardo75: mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins  then cp /path/to/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[08:10] <rickardo75> aldeka, I thought so
[08:10] <zykotick9> ferni, chrome not firefox
[08:11] <ciunix> could anybody help me in installing a git server?
[08:11] <ferni> zykotick9: so? chrome looks for the plugins also from that folder
[08:11] <nicofs> where does apt-get store the packages it downloads for install...?
[08:11] <zykotick9> ferni, I doubt that, but i suppose it's possible.
[08:12] <zykotick9> nicofs, /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:12] <nicofs> zykotick9, thanks
[08:12] <ferni> zykotick9: it does, so thats the best place to put plugins downloaded for user
[08:14] <MariusAZ> Is there a command line utility for managing users?
[08:14] <dr_willis> adduser, userdel, deluser....
[08:14] <dr_willis> what do you want to manage about them?
[08:14] <MariusAZ> Something similar to the GUI version
[08:14] <dr_willis> No idea what the gui version does. :) I never use it.
[08:14] <blkperl> adduser is what you want
[08:14] <MariusAZ> system has a ton of users and I'm needing someone with little/no linux knowledge to clean things up
[08:15] <dr_willis> thats a scary thought.. :)
[08:15] <MariusAZ> i know :(
[08:15] <blkperl> you could use a configuration management tool too
[08:15] <dr_willis> 'clean what up'  is the big question
[08:15] <MariusAZ> machine has a few hundred users, lots of them no longer valid
[08:16] <dr_willis> and how do you know which ones are invalid?
[08:16] <MariusAZ> because they're no longer working for the company
[08:16] <MariusAZ> I know I sound like an idiot, I'm trying to pass the buck here
[08:16] <dr_willis> and... ther login names are? what? you got a list?  how do you know who to remove...
[08:17] <blkperl> MariusAZ: sounds complete normal unfortunately
[08:17] <soulis77-SE> is there a good / safe online server scanner that checks if the basic stuff is secure on your installation?
[08:17] <dr_willis> soulis77-SE:  theres various port scanners and nmap scanning sites. if thats what you want.
[08:18] <dr_willis> but those wont check more then port scans..
[08:18] <dr_willis> !security
[08:18] <MariusAZ> thanks for the info
[08:18] <dr_willis> theres some secureing ubuntu wiki pages out there.
[08:18] <dr_willis> MariusAZ:  if you had a list of what usernames to remove. you can make a script to remove them all in just a few lines.
[08:19] <soulis77-SE> dr_willis: and that was my follow up.. :)  Yes I have checked every software I have installed and tried finding how to secure it.
[08:19] <dr_willis> guess he dident want a real answer?
[08:19] <soulis77-SE> Just wantet
[08:19] <dr_willis> :)
[08:19] <dr_willis> welcome back :)
[08:19] <dr_willis> MariusAZ:  if you had a list of what usernames to remove. you can make a script to remove them all in just a few lines.
[08:19] <soulis77-SE> sorry just wanted to see if I did sort of a good job.
[08:20] <wols> soulis77-SE: nessus, metasploit,
[08:20] <dr_willis> soulis77-SE:  theres used tobe some harding tools/scripts out. but they were good at locking things down too tight. ;)
[08:20] <MariusAZ> Yeah, I don't have that unfortunately, someone with that knowledge was the one that was going to go through it
[08:20] <dr_willis> sucks when you accidently get locked out of your own system
[08:20] <MariusAZ> That's ok, it's not a big deal, was just curious if there was something simple
[08:21] <MariusAZ> I appreciate the help though
[08:21] <Vlom> Ребята помогите интегрировать Thunderbird в Unity
[08:21] <dr_willis> MariusAZ:  i do recall the login stuff having a way to auto-deactivate accounts that were not used after a set amount of time.
[08:21] <dr_willis> that way you can monitor who gets used.. then eventually thin them out..
[08:21] <dr_willis> Or just disable but not remove the accounts.. and see who complains.. :)
[08:21] <MariusAZ> lol

[08:22] <soulis77-SE> dr_willis: Yeah that happend to me last week on another server.. ;P
[08:23] <MariusAZ> dr_willis: I'll just forward them that, they're not gonna like it but oh well :)
[08:24] <Garnasha> !ru | Vlom
[08:24] <dr_willis> they expect some how to magically know what users are no longer valid?
[08:24] <dr_willis> enforce a change password every 90 days  rule, then after 180 days.. you will see whos all locked out. :)
[08:24] <Garnasha> whoever put that function in ubottu was a genius
[08:25] <dr_willis> or force EVERYONE to change their password.. :) and see who makes  it in over the course of a week..
[08:26] <dr_willis> but if some fired employee some how logs in.. you wont catch them.
[08:27] <dr_willis> aha. i see a 'after so many days of inactivity' option also in that guide.
[08:30] <lion42> I am still trying to figure out if it is possible to disable my cd drive from responding without actually, physically removing it. It has an easy trigger and keeps popping out, and I fear I will break it unintentionally if this continues.
[08:31] <HackNewton> ouf... its hard to convince windows people to use linux
[08:31] <HackNewton> :D
[08:31] <dr_willis> lion42:  you mean the actual eject button is very senesetive?
[08:31] <lion42> dr_willis, yes.
[08:31] <HackNewton> but good part of this is that i know better why i like Ubuntu and Linux :D
[08:32] <dr_willis> lion42:  is the case one of those that has a 'fake' front over the actual cd face? i had a case once with a bad design. button was to tight on the 'real' button
[08:32] <avernos> hello, my computer is shutting off way too often prob cuz of heat. didnt happen with win... how can i keep track of temperature sensors and find out the problem?
[08:32] <dr_willis> had a differnt case. it was too loose.. :)  had to use some hot glue to make the buttons work
[08:32] <dr_willis> !info lm-sensors
[08:33] <alistair> sourceforge.net... also try replacing yourthermal paste with Artic SIlver 5
[08:33] <lion42> avernos, open it up, check if the fan is clean and unimpeded. Check if you have thermal paste & if it isn't dried/cracking
[08:33] <dr_willis> thermal paste. :)  fun.. just a LITTLE BIT.. is all you need.
[08:33] <alistair> Just a dab will do ya'
[08:33] <dr_willis> dirty fans are common at my house.
[08:33] <dr_willis> Pomeranian dogs = dirty dirty pc fans and vents..
[08:33] <lion42> I've gotten a LOT of computers from the manufacturer with no thermal paste present whatsoever.
[08:34] <alistair> Can pick it up at Ratshack for about 4$US
[08:34] <lion42> such a ridiculous issue.
[08:34] <tech_hero> hi
[08:34] <tech_hero> does everyone see my message here?
[08:34] <dr_willis> tech_hero:  yes.
[08:34] <alistair> Yep
[08:34] <dr_willis> I dont speak for everyone.. but i see it.. :)
[08:34] <HackNewton> everyone sees it tech_hero
[08:34] <lion42> I, for one, do not see it.
[08:34]  * lion42 snickers.
[08:35] <tech_hero> I see. twas my first time to log here. Thanks guys.
[08:35] <avernos> lion42, i've cleaned not long ago, im pretty sure is the graphic card what its getting crazy heat. it has always gotten way too hot but never to the point to shut down comp so often... i think its transfering heat to the mobo.. not sure
[08:36] <dr_willis> avernos:  compiz in Ubuntu does use the 3d card for the eyecandy effects. could be overheating.. or ust driver crashing issues.
[08:36] <lion42> Does the graphics card have its own little fan on it?
[08:36] <FishFace> command line for lm-sensors?
[08:36] <lion42> Have you checked to see if that is working / clean / etc?
[08:36] <dr_willis> open side of pc.. put big fan blowing in? :)
[08:37] <dr_willis> FishFace:  sensors command i recall is used..
[08:37] <FishFace> ok
[08:37] <dr_willis> !find sensors
[08:37] <dr_willis> then most gui apps that do temp stuff use lm-sensors also
[08:39] <HackNewton> does anybody knows are there any ubuntu mobiles ?
[08:39] <HackNewton> :D
[08:39] <rww> (the 'sensors' command is in the lm-sensors package)
[08:39] <mrcreativity> can someone help me with docky please?
[08:40] <AlexDevilLX> rwxr-xr-x means that user has permissions to read write and execute, group has rights to read and execute, as well as everyone
[08:40] <AlexDevilLX> ?
[08:40] <rww> AlexDevilLX: indeed
[08:41] <AlexDevilLX> rww, didn't i make a mistake?
[08:41] <trijntje> !ask | mrcreativity
[08:41] <mrcreativity> i cant seem to enable GTG in dockyu
[08:42] <AlexDevilLX> Getting Things Gnome?
[08:42] <mrcreativity> yeah
[08:42] <AlexDevilLX> Heh, there must be module
[08:43] <mrcreativity> first, i doesnt appear on the usable helpers list
[08:43] <AlexDevilLX> mrcreativity: i use that app my self, but i like panels
[08:43] <mrcreativity> and when i enable it, it just says stopped
[08:43] <AlexDevilLX> Use default panel, like me
[08:44] <mrcreativity> does the default panel have a task manager or window switcher?
both
[08:45] <mrcreativity> oh...what does GTG do then?
[08:46] <kural> yeah what is GTG
[08:46] <mrcreativity> getting things gnome
[08:46] <codepal> gtd
[08:47] <codepal> it's a life prioritiser / planner
[08:48] <AlexDevilLX> when do i use chown ?>
[08:48] <dr_willis> !permissions
[08:49] <dr_willis> chown changes the owner/group of a file/dir.   chmode changes the mode that 'other' users are allowed to access the file/dir with.
[08:51] <kural> dr_willis why not just mail those files. if you want to share ? or upload it somewhere
[08:51] <AlexDevilLX> ok
[08:51] <dr_willis> kural: that wouldent make much sence in 10o's of cases....
[08:51] <dr_willis> :)
[08:52] <kural> :)
[08:52] <avernos> lion42,  about the heating.. the graphics card dont have a fan on it.it has a huge heat sink..  i have a/c keeping room temp pretty nice. computer will hold while browsing, will shutdown while playing supertuxkart or playing media with vbox... i guess that points to the graphics card, right?
[08:52] <dr_willis> and its not really 'shareing in the networking sence' its allowing others specific read/write access based on their group, or other catagories.
[08:53] <demian> hi all
[08:53] <lion42> avernos, no clue.
[08:53] <demian> anyone have use mikrotik
[08:53] <trijntje> avernos: it could also be caused by bad RAM, you could try running memcheck
[08:55] <jeeves__> is there an easy way to extract one file type using wget from a java enabled site?
[08:56] <demian> anyone have used mikrotik?
[08:56] <wols> jeeves__: are you sure it's java and not javascript? do you know the difference?
[08:57] <c0rr> HI!
[08:57] <trijntje> !any | demian
[08:57] <avernos> trijntje, thanks for the tip, i did a check on that and passed. im considering the option to install win again and test if it can manage temp or it will shutdown too.. but if im not wrong it didnt have a problem. i should give a try to driver testing stuff
[08:57] <jeeves__> wols, sorry, you're right, it's java script.  The files I want are called from a script call, so wget won't pull them directly
[08:57] <dr_willis> avernos:  what chipset was the video card?
[08:58] <strata> HI C0RR
[08:58] <wols> jeeves__: then only via a direct link
[08:58] <avernos> GeForce 8600 GT
[08:58] <strata> what can i help you with today?
[08:58] <dr_willis> avernos:  and you did install teh nvidia drivers?
[08:58] <avernos> using dual display could help overheating?
[08:58] <trijntje> !anybody | demian
[08:58] <avernos> dr_willis, yes, im using nvidia driver
[08:58] <jeeves__> wols, ??
[08:59] <avernos> using nvidia driver and no desktop effects, with dual display
[08:59] <wols> jeeves__: wget doesn't do javascript
[08:59] <demian> ok i'm out. thank's for the jokes
[08:59] <dr_willis> avernos:  could be heat.  I always put extra fans in my cases :)  but ive never really had the video card overheat so much it crashed the pc.
[08:59] <jeeves__> wols, is there a CLI program that does?
[08:59] <dr_willis> avernos:  could be more system related/other issues also. and just seems like heat.
[08:59] <HHRian> msg nickserv identify theace88
[08:59] <strata> avernos: what version of ubuntu is it?
[08:59] <wols> jeeves__: elinks
[08:59] <dr_willis> take side off. put a fan blowing on it..  see if it gets better/worse/same
[08:59] <jeeves__> wols, thanks.  google, here I come
[09:00] <c0rr> man
[09:00] <c0rr> UNITY is the BEST wm evar!
[09:00] <strata> c0rr: unity is not a wm. it is a new way of thinking.
[09:00] <avernos> one of the reasons im guessing this, is because the times that i've open it up, didnt really matter what i was doing, the graphics card was burning crazy... couldnt even touch it and had to wait..
[09:00] <c0rr> yes
[09:00] <c0rr> unity grants me freedom
[09:01] <franky_> hi
[09:01] <jeeves__> wols, will elinks allow me to script a crawl of a search URL and pull just the file types I want?
[09:01] <soulis77-SE> wols: When using nessus do you need the gui installed?
[09:01] <soulis77-SE> Or perhaps someone else knows.. :)
[09:01] <dr_willis> i feel it chains me down... but  thats not really  support related.. :)
[09:01] <avernos> strata, \ 11.04
[09:01] <strata> c0rr: tell me about your unity experience, my child.
[09:01] <kural> jeeves__ are you trying to do something illegal ?
[09:01] <franky_> can anybody guide me how to install VLC?
[09:01] <newb> I have have unallocated space on my hard drive, my file system is ext4 however im not sure how to add the unallocated space to the original.
[09:02] <dr_willis> franky_:  sudo apt-get install vlc
[09:02] <jeeves__> kural, nope.  just trying to pull pictures without clicking each link, then "save as"
[09:02] <dr_willis> !info vlc
[09:02] <dr_willis> assuming your universe repo is enabled.
[09:02] <trijntje> franky_: go to ubuntu software center, search for vlc, click 'install'
[09:02] <franky_> TNX
[09:02] <wols> jeeves__: unlikely
[09:02] <c0rr> unity changed my life sir
[09:02] <jeeves__> wols, ?
[09:02] <strata> avernos: i had issues with nvidia when i moved from 10.10 to 11.04, my machine was locking up and desktop effects were crashing. i thought it was overheating but when i switched back to 10.10, everything was fine.
[09:02] <kural> jeeves__,  why is that i dont trust you ?
[09:02] <franky_> TNX
[09:02] <c0rr> now i dont even have to think for myself
[09:02] <jeeves__> kural, I'm just a name on IRC?
[09:02] <c0rr> ubuntu does EVERYTHANG
[09:02] <franky_> which is the best audioplayer??
[09:03] <strata> c0rr: well. unity is going to change a lot of things. ever since i made the switch. i will never use a tiling window manager again.
[09:03] <dr_willis> !music
[09:03] <c0rr> UNITY > *
[09:03] <trijntje> !best
[09:03] <dr_willis> !audio
[09:03] <dr_willis> Hmm theres a list f playuers somewhere..
[09:03] <avernos> strata,  thanks for the tip!! i was hoping to do some distro testing, thats another good reason to do it :D
[09:03] <c0rr> ubottu: whats the best application for downloading TORRENTS?
[09:04] <strata> avernos: also. if you look at linux mint's site. 11-RC mentioned some serious issues with compiz 'not working'
[09:04] <newb> using gparted maybe?
[09:04] <trijntje> c0rr: transmission is installed by default
[09:04] <dr_willis> theres dozens of torrent clients. Transmission works very well. and its the default app.
[09:04] <strata> avernos: that was right around the same time i experienced my problems with 11.04
[09:04] <strata> avernos: i don't know if they are related but they might be.
[09:04] <franky_> which one is the best linux distro???
[09:05] <wols> franky_: you are in the wrong channel
[09:05] <newb> dr_willis, How do i add unallocated space to my hard drive to existing partion?
[09:05] <c0rr> UBUNTU IS TEH BEST!@#$
[09:05] <dr_willis> newb:  carefull use of 'gparted' from a live cd - is how i normally do it.
[09:05] <wols> newb: gparted. boot from a live cd to use it
[09:05] <kural> newb ext resize..
[09:05] <franky_> !
[09:05] <strata> c0rr: yes. it is. what version of this wonderful linux distro do you run, my son?
[09:05] <newb> why do you need to boot from the live cd to do it
[09:05] <dr_willis> you dont resize a filesystem thats in use...
[09:05] <c0rr> 11.04 ftw!
[09:06] <avernos> strata, the thing about dual display is that it wont let me have desktop effects and stuff... so if im not wrong, they are all deactivated, no compiz.. it gave me quite a few problems to try to set it up with dual display
[09:06] <strata> c0rr are you a developer?
[09:06] <wols> newb: cause the partitions you move can't be mounted
[09:06] <dr_willis> avernos:  i have used compiz and effects on dual monitor setups.
[09:06] <c0rr> i wish :(
[09:06] <c0rr> im a n00b
[09:06] <kural>  newb: dismount the partion , run gparted , resize & apply..
[09:06] <c0rr> i just installed this inside windows xp
[09:06] <strata> avernos: compiz will run on dual display. i have seen it done on freebsd. what are your thoughts about abandoning the almighty brown giant in favor of a firebreathing red daemon?
[09:07] <newb> tks
[09:07] <avernos> dr_willis,  with ubuntu 11.04?
[09:07] <franky_> my installation of ubuntu 11.04 in my notebook crashes everytime after it shows,configuring your system
[09:07] <franky_> anybody assist me?
[09:07] <c0rr> how can i be a developer? do i have to pay $?
[09:07] <dr_willis> avernos:  havent done any multi monitors in 11.04 yet.  had to downsize my desk.  but its worked in every release befor that.
[09:07] <dr_willis> avernos:  UNITY has issues with multi-monitors...
[09:07] <wols> c0rr: no. you have to actually develop
[09:07] <strata> c0rr: no. everything is free as in free beer. if you want to be a developer. just start writing code in the name of unity and confirmity
[09:08] <avernos> strata, thoughts are favorable!! haha i feel quite confortable with debian, but i was hoping to try fedora... what do you think about that/
[09:08] <c0rr> fedora is awesome too!
[09:08] <strata> avernos: i think fedora is great.
[09:08] <strata> but this is an ubuntu channel. let's try to keep things canonical
[09:08] <c0rr> fedora is so awesome im gonna call it RAWSOME
[09:09] <avernos> :P
[09:09] <avernos> haha
[09:09] <c0rr> yum is the best app world ever
[09:09] <avernos> any recomendations for a desktop panel/widget thing to keep track of temperatures/?
[09:09] <moogie> I am actually using fedora right now
[09:09] <strata> avernos: try screenlets
[09:09] <moogie> mind blown yet?
[09:09] <dr_willis> theres some indicator-applets for temps
[09:10] <c0rr> can i yum install indicator-applets?
[09:10] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/list-of-application-indicators?page=1&tab=votes#tab-top
[09:10] <strata> screenlets is the best additional bloaty thing one can add to the gnome-bloat
[09:10] <strata> it lets you see just how much more bloat you have.
[09:10] <kural> c0rr yum install ind\*
[09:11] <c0rr> are there any ubuntu hackers in here?
[09:11] <avernos> worth to try, havent used screenlets since a long time now, prob lots of updates :D
[09:11] <kural> c0rr: or mke it :  yum install ind\*  -y
[09:11] <c0rr> ahh cool thx
[09:11] <c0rr> ...
[09:11] <c0rr> hmm
[09:11] <c0rr> mine says yum: command not found
[09:11] <c0rr> can i apt-get install yum?
[09:12] <strata> c0rr why would you want to use yum on ubuntu? ubuntu already has a package system
[09:12] <c0rr> oh
[09:12] <wdp> Hey. I've got a question regarding the bugtracker at ubuntu.
[09:12] <kural> apt-get install y\* -y
[09:12] <newb> Is there a way to get famous chess games to be played out in a linux chess aplet
[09:12] <kural> you will get it , of its there
[09:12] <c0rr> kural: thx bro
[09:13] <c0rr> OKAY ITS INSTALING
[09:13] <c0rr> opps sorry
[09:13] <c0rr> whats znc?
[09:13] <c0rr> is that an irc hack tool?
[09:13] <dr_willis> newb:  i recall some of the chess apps having playback features of recorded games.. but been ages since i last looked at them. as in 5+ yrs
[09:14] <dr_willis> !info znc
[09:14] <strata> c0rr znc is an irc bounce daemon
[09:14] <c0rr> oh !info
[09:14] <dr_willis> znc is handy
[09:14] <strata> hmm interesting. i'm running znc. when did that get installed?
[09:14] <c0rr> !info yum
[09:14] <wdp> Due to my recent problems with my ati graphiccard, i read a lot of bugs in that bugtracker and i saw that some people defined other bugs as "clone" of another (which isn't true, because there are various different issues) instead of opening the 100th bug i was thinking about creating some page which is explaining all sorts of bugs i'm aware of, so that users with similar issues can just click through to get an idea what to try. I'm wondering where i shou
[09:14] <wdp> ld do that. You think the bugtracker would be okay for that? or is there something else? Or should i use the maillinglist? or just my personal blog and hope people will google it?
[09:14] <kural> what is irc-bouncer
[09:14] <kural> purpose
[09:15] <c0rr> maybe it lets you bounce people off irc?!
[09:15] <llutz> kural: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software)
[09:15] <c0rr> DAMN I NEED THIS
[09:15] <strata> that's really wierd. i have znc running and i don't even know what it is. i found the config file and it's not my nick. what does this mean?
[09:15] <kural> llutz, thx
[09:15] <aldermikov> light, medium, or strong for apt-build optimisation level
[09:16] <kural> wdp: remove all open source ati drivers. Install latest oneric kernel. install non-free ati drivers.
[09:17] <wdp> kural, i guess, you misunderstood me. plus what you suggest will break a lot of boxes. What you're probably not aware of is, that the latest non-free ati drivers don't support older ati graphiccard.
[09:17] <wols> wdp: a good place for a page like that is in a wiki. not the bugtracker
[09:17] <TrentH> After installing updates, when I start up PC screen is black?
[09:18] <wdp> kural, and thats exactly what i'm talking about. those bug reports at ubuntu regarding ati issues, give all sorts of "bad" suggestions.
[09:18] <wdp> :)
[09:18] <TrentH> How do I remove ATI drivers?
[09:18] <wdp> wols, i see.
[09:18] <kural> wdp okay, i had 5700 , which work gr8 after all that
[09:18] <wols> wdp: if the suggestion is bad, post a followup in that bug and tell why it is bad advice
[09:19] <wdp> wols, i just thought.. it would be a help for other users; on the contrary i don't want to go through all of those bugs and correct em (i won't have the time, except someone wanna help me)
[09:19] <wdp> thus i thought some central page which explains all possible issues, would be more helpful.

[09:22] <TheJester> MCP79
[09:22] <TrentH> wols, because whenever I startup I get a black screen...
[09:22] <wdp> TrentH, tell me about your graphiccard.
[09:22] <dr_willis> TheJester:  that is an audio chipset?
[09:22] <wols> TheJester: what is nco79 exactly?
[09:22] <kural> TrentH hey is display cable connected properly :D
[09:22] <TrentH> wols, 5850
[09:23] <TheJester> no its the chipset for ION3 board, with the audio and networking... network if is not detected
[09:23] <TheJester> no eth0
[09:23] <wdp> TrentH, ubuntu is by default (if im not fully dumb) using ati kms. You can disable that (i have just no idea how to get into grub on lunar boot) at the boot prompt using radeon.modeset=0 iirc.
[09:23] <wols> TheJester: lspci -nn output please
[09:23] <wdp> TrentH, google for that stuff, maybe that helps to bring you atleast a screen.
[09:24] <wdp> -lunar+ubuntu
[09:24] <TrentH> wdp, what happened is I had it all good to go. I ran updates through ubuntu, restarted PC and no screen :P so now i'm on failsafe gfx

[09:28] <TheJester> ok, just checking
[09:28] <TheJester> old hardware, lol
[09:28] <TrentH> Alright well that worked
[09:28] <wols> or dmesg |grep eth
[09:28] <TrentH> Now i'm going to restart and hope it works! :)
[09:28] <dr_willis> TheJester:  with the exception of video drivers.. i cant recall it ever  not autodetecting the hw changes. You could boot a live cd and see if it works there.
[09:28] <wols> TheJester: that network chip is several years old. hence old hardware, yes
[09:28] <wols> TheJester: what does ifconfig -a say?
[09:29] <TheJester> ifconfig -a shows the eth0
[09:29] <TheJester> eehm
[09:29] <TheJester> eth1
[09:29] <TheJester> for some reason
[09:29] <FloodBot1> TheJester: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:29] <strata> TheJester: can i plz have ./xerxes.sh
[09:29] <wdp> wols, do you remember how i solved the issue with my flickering graphiccard? it's randr related. i.e.: as soon as i do xrandr --output VGA-0 (and S-Video) --set "load detection" 0 the flickering doesn't happen anymore. I'm wondering whether there's a better way to do that, than adding that xrandr commands to some sort of "autostart" like maybe in xorg.conf or something. any idea?
[09:29] <c0rr> YEAH
[09:29] <c0rr> me too jester?!
[09:29] <wdp> wols, asking, because on reboot, that isn't set anymore .)
[09:29] <c0rr> i need a hacking proggie for ubuntu
[09:29] <wols> wdp: no
[09:29] <dr_willis> TheJester:  i have seen a lot of cases where  theres no eth0 but  the network card becomes eth1. which can goof things up a little.
[09:29] <TheJester> weird
[09:29] <TheJester> but then i can fix it
[09:30] <wols> c0rr: stop please. you violate freenode policies
[09:30] <dr_willis> dhclient eth1 :) or similer...
[09:30] <c0rr> stop what?
[09:30] <wols> TheJester: it's udev which tripped you up
[09:30] <wols> c0rr: asking for "hacking" stuff in any way or discussing it
[09:30] <Mors> Hi all... might need some help...
[09:30] <strata> TheJester: did you check to see if there are any stray xerxes threads still running? a powerful tool such as that might have brought the interfaces down.
[09:30] <c0rr> o
[09:30] <Mors> On ubuntu lucid, for some time I've been seeing mt processor usage jump off the roof
[09:31] <TheJester> i will... thanks for all help
[09:31] <wdp> c0rr, http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/hacking-knife.jpg try this one for hacking.
[09:31] <wols> c0rr: it would be nice if you could stop all your offtopic mutterings. this is a support channel only, not a social channel. please respect that
[09:31] <wdp> scnr..
[09:31] <Mors> Even though I'm the only user and have got no extra processes running
[09:31] <c0rr> whats a muttering?
[09:31] <TrentH> Alright that worked! :)
[09:31] <wols> Mors: run top, press "C" (uppercase)
[09:31] <TrentH> I guess I had conflicting driver issues?
[09:32] <c0rr> wdp: ahh thanks
[09:32] <c0rr> that worked
[09:33] <Mors> oh sorry :P
[09:33] <c0rr> does anyone need support? i'm now available to help
[09:33] <Mors> wols: "C" -> unknown command
[09:33] <wols> Mors: did you type it inside top?
[09:33] <Mors> I see a list of processes though
[09:33] <Mors> yes
[09:33] <llutz> c not C
[09:34] <wols> llutz: thanks
[09:34] <Mors> Ok
[09:34] <Mors> The totlal %CPU is hardly say 20
[09:35] <strata> c0rr: yes. i don't want to speak much about this. but is there a way for me to hide my programs from my laptop on my computer so my dad doesnt see them? i have this program i found called wireshark that lets me see my web pages in hex numbers and he thinks it's a hacking program but i told him it's not. it's a network trouble shooting tool.
[09:35] <Mors> but in my monitor my three cores are at 16, 14, and 89%
[09:35] <Mors> What gives?
[09:35] <Mors> system monitor*
[09:36] <c0rr> strata: yes, if you compile the program from source instead of installing it through the hindu package manager it will not show up in the menus for true ninjastese
[09:36] <strata> where is the source package?
[09:37] <c0rr> wireshark.org
[09:37] <TrentH> How do I do the whole "Desktop" cube thing?
[09:37] <c0rr> TrentH: install compiz
[09:37] <TrentH> It's installe
[09:37] <dr_willis> TrentH:  with Unity. its best to avoid the cube thing.. it can cause unity desktop breakage... in bad ways
[09:37] <c0rr> enable extra desktop effects
[09:37] <TrentH> c0rr, how do I do that?
[09:38] <c0rr> its in the menu somewhere
[09:38] <c0rr> click around
[09:38] <strata> i have the desktop sphere in unity.
[09:38] <TrentH> I'm pressing my button I have it for and it's not working xD
[09:38] <c0rr> ok so you got compiz. now you have to spin your monitor around to get the cube effect.
[09:38] <dr_willis> TrentH:  what ubuntu version are you using/
[09:38] <TrentH> dr_willis, 11.04 running "ubuntu classic" theme
[09:39] <c0rr> dont leave :(
[09:39] <dr_willis> theres prob. some guides on setting up the cube effect with it.  I have seen dozens of people in here that have tried to enable the cube effect and goof up their desktops. :) but they were not using the ubuntu classic i think.
[09:40] <kural> TrentH : try using mousewheel on desktop switcher panel ..
[09:40] <HITIN> i downloaded following iso : ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso , can anyone provide me with the md5 hash?
[09:40] <TrentH> kural, that didn't work
[09:40] <dr_willis> TrentH:  Video on doing it. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onxWT8rIRE8
[09:41] <Maestro> Hi there
[09:41] <Maestro> whats upp
[09:41] <Maestro> exit
[09:41] <strata> 73c1a39457051c76623c9422f026e283
[09:41] <c0rr> HITIN: 76fbc5bd018624e3e089c8c21d771823
[09:41] <c0rr> what?!
[09:41] <wildbat> !md5sum
[09:41] <strata> oh wait that's 11.04
[09:41] <c0rr> ahh i c
[09:41] <strata> i just did 10.04 i think
[09:42] <HITIN> thanks , i will try now!
[09:42] <kural> TrentH : strange works for me
[09:42] <quibbler> HITIN-> look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[09:43] <dixon_> I'm trying to connect to a SOCKS proxy, from my Ubuntu Desktop. But the proxy admins say I need to give username and password in order to authenticate to the proxy. But the Network Proxy settings doesn't allow me to give username and password for SOCKS proxies. How should I proceed?
[09:43] <c0rr> just try to use it dixon
[09:44] <dixon_> c0rr: It won't work. They have set up username and password authentication to be required.
[09:44] <c0rr> o
[09:45] <c0rr> try putting the username and pass in front of the proxy address, like username@password:proxy
[09:45] <dixon_> corr: is that the syntax? I'll try
[09:45] <HITIN> i got following hash : 27af597edaa5e1b9d5a3c7a3b735dc30
[09:45] <HITIN> i guess its not valid
[09:45] <strata> hmm. that's wierd.
[09:45] <c0rr> HITIN: thats not what i got
[09:46] <c0rr> try downloading the iso again
[09:46] <strata> HITIN: what are you trying to do? verify the iso was burned correctly?
[09:46] <kural> HITIN : okay try downloading again
[09:46] <dr_willis> or use a torrent download and see it can verify/fix the iso.
[09:46] <strata> dr_willis: very true.
[09:46] <HITIN> i burned iso without verifying , it didnt worked, so i am trying to verify md5 hash before i burn it again .
[09:47] <strata> HITIN: if it came up with the wrong hash, you probably burned it too fast. try it on the lowest speed.
[09:47] <dr_willis> verify the iso, then verify the cd. :)
[09:47] <HITIN> ok i will do that ..
[09:47] <kural> HITIN purchase from ubuntu cdrom. Always a safer option
[09:47] <kural> Ubuntu store
[09:48] <dixon_> c0rr: hmm, the Ubuntu UI doesn't allow me to put in ":" in the form
[09:48] <HITIN> for iubuntu the hash is correct .. i think i need to download again or not to burn it over the network
[09:48] <c0rr> try another @ sign
[09:48] <c0rr> instead
[09:49] <TrentH> Whats uP?
[09:49] <TrentH> Anybody see me?
[09:49] <TrentH> Alright so I did compiz --replace
[09:49] <TrentH> Had to restart
[09:49] <c0rr> or try socks5://user!password@proxy
[09:49] <strata> TrentH: i can see you. can you see me?
[09:49] <strata> TrentH: what side of the cube am i on?
[09:50] <c0rr> TrentH: i see you
[09:50] <TrentH> None :(
[09:50] <TrentH> I didn't get cube to work
[09:50] <c0rr> TrentH: but only 3/4 of what youre typing
[09:50] <TrentH> I click the different desktop, then what do I do?
[09:50] <c0rr> 04:51 < TrentH> I didn't get cube
[09:50] <strata> TrentH: try spinning it. hold down ctrl-alt then move your mouse to spin it
[09:51] <TrentH> that's freaking wicked!
[09:51] <c0rr> haha
[09:51] <strata> are you dizzy yet?
[09:51] <c0rr> mind = blown
[09:51] <strata> what's your load average now? 5?
[09:51] <timClicks> does anyone know which package contains gnome-appearance-properties?
[09:52] <TrentH> uh...
[09:52] <c0rr> aw snap its the Terminator!
[09:52]  * c0rr runs
[09:52] <TrentH> Well with compiz enabled doing the wiggly windows I shoot up to 25% usage on a 4.5GHz quadcore
[09:52] <c0rr> nothingspecial: hi rob!
[09:52] <c0rr> missed you
[09:52] <strata> TrentH: that's to be expected. welcome to ubuntu.
[09:52] <Sigma__> Hi, I'm trying t set up a NFS connection. So I put /home/goooo/mini2440/qemu/mini2440/rootfs 192.168.1.5(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) in exports and then I restar the NFS server, but after if I do a ping on 192.168.1.5 there is nothing.
[09:52] <ayaka> where can I get the demac plugin for audacious which package?
[09:53] <TrentH> I lol
[09:53] <c0rr> Sigma__: check the firewall
[09:53] <nothingspecial> c0rr: hi
[09:53] <Sigma__> c0rr What do I need to do with the firewall ?
[09:54] <c0rr> iptables -P INPUT DROP
[09:54] <kural> TrentH buy a spinnig chair.. better option
[09:54] <c0rr> it will drop any firewall rules that have been put in place by ufw
[09:54] <c0rr> and start you with a clean slate
[09:54] <cypha> so ubuntu has an old version of sqlite in its repository?
[09:56] <Sigma__> c0rr Ok and how can I pur the firewall in the default configuration fater that
[09:56] <TrentH_> Hurp i'm back!
[09:56] <dnivra> cypha: 3.7.4 is the one in Ubuntu. Latest is 3.7.7. That's not too old now is it?
[09:56] <TrentH_> Alright in order to rotate windows...I has to click the thing first then scroll wheel?
[09:56] <wols> timClicks: packages.ubuntu.com does, so does apt-file
[09:56] <cypha> oh, what's libsqlite3-dev?
[09:56] <c0rr> /etc/init.d/ufw default i think
[09:56] <cypha> thought that was in developement or something
[09:56] <wols> cypha: mainly header files
[09:56] <Sigma__> Ok I try that
[09:57] <wols> cypha: no, it's the development files for sqlite
[09:57] <cypha> header files?
[09:57] <wols> yes header files
[09:58] <c0rr> try iptables -F INPUT
[09:58] <c0rr> then it will be in a default state
[09:58] <TrentH> Alright so I can make this thing....into a sphere right?
[10:00] <shreyansh> @all - need serious help
[10:00] <strata> TrentH: yes you can do a sphere, but you'll probably need two more quad cores and 16G ram
[10:00] <TrentH> How do I do da spehere?
[10:00] <Benkinooby> has someone experience with the mac os x theme for ubuntu? i know that there are themes ofr kde and gnome and i was wondering wich one is closer to the original look and feel of mac. i have no ubuntu to test, therefore i ask.
[10:01] <strata> TrentH: you need to get ccsm (compizconfig settings manager)
[10:01] <strata> TrentH: install it via synaptic
[10:01] <TrentH> I have that
[10:01] <TrentH> :)
[10:01] <tester> TrentH: 11.04 10.10 ?
[10:01] <strata> TrentH: did you also got compiz plugins extras?
[10:01] <TrentH> 11.04
[10:01] <TrentH> Let me install the extras :)
[10:02] <bobweaver> is there simple compiz for 11.03
[10:02] <bobweaver> is there simple compiz for 11.04*
[10:02] <strata> TrentH: what you are looking for is going to be in cube rotation / deformity or something similar to that name. don't remember exactly what it was called
[10:02] <shreyansh> i recently install ubuntu 11.04  - i am using Vista already and i installed ubuntu 11.04 in a free partition of 15Gb.. i have given swap space of 2 Gb and rest / and i installed it..... on complete installation and restarting  i found there is no grub bootleader in begining.. how can i log in Windows now.. :( please help.. urgent..
[10:02] <c0rr> TrentH: hold control and type "sphere"
[10:02] <strata> you can do a cylinder, a sphere, and a potleaf.
[10:02] <bazhang> !info simple-ccsm | bobweaver
[10:03] <TrentH> potleaf
[10:03] <TrentH> LOL
[10:03] <TrentH> Ah ubuntu this is the best thing you've given me since the clap
[10:03] <dnivra> shreyansh: you'll probably need to install grub again
[10:03] <strata> well. i donno if you'll have that by default. i have a compiz potleaf.
[10:03] <bazhang> !ot | TrentH
[10:03] <shreyansh> dnivra, but how it didn't come at first place ?
[10:04] <TrentH> I installed the extras :)
[10:04] <dnivra> shreyansh: I've no idea about that issue. sorry.
[10:04] <strata> TrentH: there are a bunch of extra animations you can turn on now too
[10:04] <shreyansh> dnivra, and at the time of instllation there was tab where ubuntu ask for where to install grub bootloader.. there i selected sda
[10:04] <TrentH> You should see this awesomeness
[10:04] <strata> TrentH: one you have everything turned on. your system should be completely unusable. but at least it will look cool!
[10:05] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  if the bios has some bootblock anti virus protection enabled. it can  prevent it from installing.
[10:05] <TrentH> Exactly!
[10:05] <dnivra> shreyansh: I think that's correct.
[10:05] <rileyp> anyone using irsend with natty I cant get it to work
[10:05] <dnivra> dr_willis: but that protection should also prevent deletion right?
[10:06] <dnivra> I understood that there's no boot loader at all. right shreyansh?
[10:06] <c0rr> rileyp: change your device to /dev/pen15
[10:06] <shreyansh> dr_willis, no there is nothing like that.... actullay it came earlier also when i installed it before but this time when i installed it again.. there is no such bootloader
[10:06] <shreyansh> dnivra, yes exactly
[10:06] <dr_willis> dnivra:  i never enable it. so not sure how well it works.   If he has no menu at all - windows or grub.. it would seem like grub semi-installed.. but then you would expect some error messages.
[10:06] <rileyp> cOrr its a mceusb receiver transmitter
[10:06] <c0rr> yeah check lspci but it should be /dev/pen15
[10:07] <dnivra> dr_willis: yeah that's right. what happens when you boot the machine shreyansh?
[10:07] <rileyp> cOrr Ill try thanks brb
[10:07] <c0rr> kk
[10:07] <shreyansh> dnivra, it directly logs in to ubuntu
[10:07] <dr_willis> if grub installed and dident see any other os's - it would also Hide its menu by default.
[10:07] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  so thats the whole issue then.. its not showing GRUB.. but grub IS working...
[10:08] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  wasent quite how you stated the problem. :)    You CAN get to Ubuntu correct?
[10:08] <shreyansh> dr_willis, dnivra ,  yes its not showing grub .. and directly opening ubuntu
[10:09] <TrentH> strata, my "window preview" isn't working the best like at all
[10:09] <dr_willis> shreyansh: rerun 'sudo update-grub' see if it detects your windows install.
[10:09] <shreyansh> dr_willis, dnivra : yes ubuntu is correct
[10:09] <shreyansh> dr_willis, should i run it directly in terminal
[10:09] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  grub has a tool to detect the other os's - some times it gets confused.
[10:09] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  yes..
[10:09] <shreyansh> ok
[10:10] <Sigma_> cOrr Please can you take a look to my log : http://pastebin.com/tDQn2Cdv
[10:10] <Sigma_> I don't understand
[10:10] <strata> TrentH: when you have everything turned on, there can be some conflicts. make sure you enable as many hotkey combinations as possible and compiz will attempt to correct the binding conflicts, thus rendering typing completely inoperable. though you don't need a keyboard in ubuntu anyway to see all the fancy thingamabobs and doodads.
[10:10] <shreyansh> dr_willis, i got some problem now
[10:10] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  you can edit the /etc/default/grub file to make it never hide grub.
[10:10] <shreyansh> can i paste output here ?
[10:10] <dnivra> !paste | shreyansh
[10:10] <TrentH> strata, whenever I have firefox maximized then it works without anything maximized it doesn't
[10:10] <dr_willis> pastebin would be best. :)
[10:10] <shreyansh> dr_willis, can i paste output here
[10:10] <rileyp> cOrr nothing in lspci
[10:12] <c0rr> did you see the module? try /dev/v4g
[10:12] <rileyp> Corr its in lsusb
[10:12] <strata> TrentH: once you have everything turned on. start taking away stuff you don't think looks cool. and eventually you'll arrive at a compromise between 10% usability and 90% wickedness
[10:12] <c0rr> ahhh k
[10:13] <shreyansh> dnivra, dr_willis : http://paste.ubuntu.com/651112/
[10:13] <rileyp> cOrr eHome Remote Control Keyboard keys Microsoft IR Transceiver
[10:13] <rileyp> Bus 002 Device 002
[10:14] <Sigma_> cOrr An idea ?
[10:14] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  whats in  /media/A032A04B32A027EC/
[10:14] <ori> ciao
[10:14] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  is that your windows drive? or a linux partition? or what exactly.
[10:14] <ori> !list
[10:14] <shreyansh> dr_willis,  its my C drive for windows vista
[10:15] <shreyansh> dr_willis, yes sir.. its my C: drive
[10:15] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  id unmount it.. Not sure why its wanting to find a /boot/ there. Unles sits thinking its a Linux drive.
[10:15] <dr_willis> sudo umount /media/A032A04B32A027EC/
[10:15] <dr_willis> then try the update-grub command again
[10:16] <ha1dfo> Hi all.
[10:17] <ha1dfo> How can I completely blacklist a block device from even being displayed in ubuntu?
[10:17] <c0rr> Sigma_: try iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -j DROP && iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT
[10:18] <shreyansh> dr_willis, dnivra  : this is the error this time http://paste.ubuntu.com/651113/
[10:18] <ha1dfo> I have an encrypted windows drive with an usb3 booting ubuntu, and grub keeps re-writing MBR of windows disk and it is kind of :S
[10:18] <strata> ha1dfo truecrypt ?
[10:19] <ha1dfo> strata, windows encryption is some HP wizardry
[10:19] <ha1dfo> it is company laptop
[10:19] <ha1dfo> so it can see the sda1 as HPFS/NTFS partition, but nothing more
[10:19] <strata> ha1dfo: aka xor lameness. ok. there should be no reason grub is installing to mbr if booting off usb. are you trying to install it or something?
[10:20] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  you got Ubuntu on a external usb3 by itself. and windows on internal by itself?
[10:20] <ha1dfo> when installed the disk was on USB, and it deleted my MBR on the inner disk without asking. but I'm very afraid of some grub or kernel update
[10:20] <ha1dfo> yes, windows on full encrypted stuff.
[10:21] <ha1dfo> it is checkpoint endpoint security
[10:21] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  actually near the end of the install. it asked where you wanted to put grub.. sda was the default  i imagine.
[10:22] <ha1dfo> so you say, it will never again touch my internal disk?
[10:22] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  you can boot to ubuntu and run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and tell it to put grub on  the sdXX of the usb3 drive and only that drive.  and then tell bios to boot that hd.. and it should not  touch windows mbr.
[10:22] <shreyansh> dr_willis, this is the error this time http://paste.ubuntu.com/651113/
[10:22] <ha1dfo> okay. and meanwhile i realized i could just remove X  perms from grub2 stuff
[10:22] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  yep. i see that.. never seen that sort of error befor.  pastebin output of 'sudo fdisk -l' perhaps.
[10:23] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  its almost like its thinking the windows install is a linux install
[10:23] <ayaka> why audacious-plugins for hardy include demac.so but later one not
[10:24] <wdp> there are some real weird dependencies in ubuntu.
[10:24] <wdp> i have no clue why smartmontools should need a mailserver.
[10:24] <dr_willis> to mail you the output..
[10:24] <shreyansh> dr_willis,  sir .. this is the output of that fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/651118/
[10:24] <wdp> dr_willis, and why should i want that?
[10:24] <Sigma_> C0rr after your command
[10:24] <dr_willis> wdp:  common feature of those tools are to email erorr/warnings to the root/admoin users...
[10:25] <Sigma_> C0rr after your command I didn't have internet and I have had to reboot.
[10:25] <kural> wdp: so that if disk is about to fail: You can ignore the mail :D
[10:25] <c0rr> wtf?
[10:25] <TrentH> sterna, how do I customize my mouse to where I scroll down it scrolls down more parts of the page?
[10:25] <shreyansh> dr_willis, And forgot to tell you something that i made few attempts from boot repair app to install grub in window & linux partition both .. and also in sda also..
[10:25] <DrGrov> Hi
[10:25] <wdp> kural, i'm checking the output of various tools regurlarly. it makes more sense for me to dig in (smartctl -a /dev/disc) then hopeing to get a mail from a probably corrupt disc
[10:25] <c0rr> its possible youre running a buggy version of nfsd
[10:26] <DrGrov> I tried to remove Gwibber on 10.04. It seems to still keep all my config files even if I tried to use the "complete removal" option from Synaptic.
[10:26] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  somthing is weird here.. from your  fdisk -l output.. you only HAVE one hard disk...
[10:26] <c0rr> try downgrading to 10.04
[10:26] <sterna> TrentH: how should i know? :)
[10:26] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  you said you had an internal and a usb3
[10:26] <c0rr> LTS
[10:26] <Sigma_> c0rr I thin Ihave the last version
[10:26] <wdp> s/then/than but well, i guess thats OT.
[10:26] <Lasers> DrGrov: config files in where?
[10:26] <llutz> wdp: mailutils is a "recommend" for smartmontools, not a depend
[10:26] <wdp> llutz, it installed postfix here.
[10:26] <strata> Sigma_: 10.04 LTS is still "new" - it's just more stable. hence "Long Term Support"
[10:26] <dnivra> dr_willis: that was not him. it was ha1dfo I think.
[10:26] <wdp> llutz, thats why i was curious why i need a FULL mailserver.
[10:27]  * dr_willis is getting confused then. :)
[10:27] <shreyansh> dr_willis, no sir i told u that i have one hard disk only... may be u got confused with someone else.. i never told u about usb3
[10:27] <llutz> wdp: nope, YOU installed postfix :)
[10:27] <cyberix> When I create a new tab in Google Chrome, the window looses focus. Has anyone else experienced this? I am suspecting Unity.
[10:27] <DrGrov> Lasers: I have no idea. It should have removed them as well I presume when I removed everything with Synaptic that has to do with gwibber. I tweeted a wrong message and tried to remove it from the program. On the browser it was deleted but it kept stuck in the Gwibber app.
[10:27] <wdp> i didn't. i just did apt-get install smartmontools
[10:27] <wdp> and that installed postfix.
[10:27] <llutz> wdp: apt-get/aptitude can be configured not to install recommends by default
[10:27] <Sigma_> c0rr So what do I need to do ?
[10:27] <wdp> llutz, i see. i should dig into the documentation then.. :)
[10:27] <wdp> thx.
[10:28] <kural> wdp : --no-recommends or something like that
[10:28] <shreyansh> dr_willis, i have only one 160 Gb internal HD ... and i installed everything in that only as shown in the output..
[10:28] <wdp> yeah i'll read the man pages. thx.
[10:28] <c0rr> try downgrading to 10.04 LTS and try again, its probably just nfsd
[10:28] <Lasers> DrGrov: Even if you remove Gwibber from the repo, personal configuration files found in /home/$USER/ don't get removed.
[10:28] <llutz> i thought --no-install-recommends  was default in ubuntu since a while...
[10:29] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  only think i can think of is that dell utilty is somehow getting detected as a Linux parittion. You could disable the os-prober featre of grub and add a entry to boot windows to your /etc/grub.d/40_custom file manually.
[10:29] <DrGrov> Lasers: There is no such directory as ~/.gwibber in my home
[10:29] <kural> llutz you are master ... I stand corrected ..
[10:29] <shreyansh> dr_willis,  how can i do all that ?
[10:29] <Lasers> DrGrov: If that does not exist, then it's not .gwibber you're looking for.  It can be in ~/.config or ~/.gnome* folder.
[10:29] <DrGrov> Lasers: So I am wondering where did they go. I tried reinstalling Gwibber and it pops up again that same old messages I already deleted once and on the browser it is gone as it should.
[10:30] <DrGrov> Lasers: Ok, I will do a locate gwibber and see what I find. I need to remove everything manually?
[10:30] <strata> wdp: what if someone installed smartmontools without it auto-installing postfix as a dependency? then they would be left with a broken smartmontools. better to add a few 10's of thousands of lines of vulnerable daemon code to the mix in the name of storage redundancy.
[10:30] <amar> How can i install mysql5.5 in ubuntu 10.10???
[10:30] <Lasers> DrGrov: Sure. If it's bothering you that much. :)
[10:30] <c0rr> Sigma_: after you downgrade, do this: echo "/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j DROP && /sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/rc.local
[10:30] <c0rr> then reboot
[10:31] <dnivra> amar: "apt-get install mysql-server" as root?
[10:31] <DrGrov> Lasers: It is not nice to know that there is information still on here which I do not use.
[10:31] <shreyansh> dr_willis, and how u predicted that grub is pointing to dell utility ?
[10:31] <Sigma_> c0rr Ok but can you tell me how dowgrade NFSD
[10:31] <DrGrov> Lasers: I found something in ~/.gconf/apps/gwibber... Could that be the directory I should delete?
[10:31] <c0rr> you have to downgrade to 10.04
[10:31] <amar> dnivra: ubuntu repo has 5.1. i need 5.5
[10:31] <c0rr> migrate your files off and fresh install 10.04 then run that command and reboot
[10:32] <Sigma_> Downgrade the whole ubuntu ?
[10:32] <Lasers> strata: You don't need postfix for smartmontools. That's a fact
[10:32] <strata> Sigma_: you're not actually downgrading anything. just switching to a more stable version.
[10:32] <dnivra> amar: thought that was the issue. 5.1 is the only version you can install from the repos. you're free to compile mysql5.5 :).
[10:32] <DrGrov> Lasers: The account information should be gone anyhow yes when I deleted gwibber?
[10:32] <thechef> Does Lucid integrate commercial software already?
[10:32] <wdp> strata, wanna continue this talk in some other channel with me? I guess its not support related. However: I'm coming from a source-based distribution; smartmontools doesn't need a mailserver as dependency. Probably optional, but not required; i.e. it wouldn't be broken. Also you can argue: If the disc is broken, mail might work neither, as those parts of the disc might be compromised.
[10:32] <Lasers> DrGrov: Best to rename it to gwibber-backup instead of removing.
[10:32] <thechef> in the store
[10:32] <amar> any link for compilation of 5.5???
[10:32] <strata> Lasers: then why is wpd saying apt-get installs it as a dependency?
[10:32] <llutz> strata: "recommends" are not "depends" and not installing recommends will not break anything
[10:32] <shreyansh> dr_willis,  how can i do all that ?
[10:33] <wdp> strata, in that case, it makes even less sense to have it as dependency. on the contrary smartmontools should warn you before something like that happens.
[10:33] <amar> i could not find mysql5.5 for ubuntu
[10:33] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  you can try adding a custom entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom  like (you will need to edit this example) -->  http://paste.ubuntu.com/651125/
[10:33] <DrGrov> Lasers: Ok, I will keep it there. I just want to know that when I deleted gwibber it will still not keep a hold of my account information?
[10:33] <Sigma_> strata How to do that please ?
[10:33] <Lasers> strata: See llutz's statement. :)
[10:33] <dnivra> amar: in fact even 11.04 has 5.1 too.
[10:33] <llutz> apt-cache depends smartmontools
[10:33] <strata> right. makes sense. what if i already had exim installed ?
[10:33] <kural> If the disc is broken, mail might work neither, as those parts of the disc might be compromised.
[10:33] <wdp> kural, just as i wrote .)
[10:33] <rileyp> does irsend work in natty
[10:33] <kural> What if some user has just ONE PARTION
[10:34] <Lasers> DrGrov: All of your personal and configuration information are kept in ~/ -- so Removing any packages won't remove any personal configuration settings that you may had made.
[10:34] <kural> wdp : yes i was pickig up in what you said
[10:34] <llutz> strata: it recommends 1 MTA, exim provides mta as postfix and lots other do. so nothing happens
[10:34] <amar> i need mysql5.5. It has better query support
[10:34] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  use the  command 'sudo blkid' to get the proper uuid# to change in that example.  for the --set-root=####### line.
[10:34] <DrGrov> Lasers: So that means if I reinstall Gwibber it will give me my account back?
[10:34] <Sigma_> c0rr Are you that te problem come from the version ?
[10:34] <Lasers> DrGrov: (Ie -- If I made some changes to my firefox settings -- And later, I moved to different distro and migrated my home directory, nothing will be changed (for personal settings).
[10:34] <raven> how to login to a machine via vnc which x session is not logged in?
[10:34] <dr_willis> shreyansh:  and you may need to change the 'msdos1' to be 'msdos2'
[10:35] <dr_willis> raven:  install a stand alone vncserver, ssh in, start vncserver, vnc in.
[10:35] <DrGrov> Lasers: Yes that I know but I removed my Twitter account from Gwibber and removed it via Synaptic. So it should not remember my Twitter account details when and if I reinstall Gwibber again?
[10:35] <Lasers> DrGrov: Yes. gwibber package aren't broken. If you insist on clean Gwibber account, then you want to remove the directory gwibber write/read information from.
[10:35] <dr_willis> raven:  that will start a 'hidden' vnc session. it will not show the local/visiable desktop display on teh box.
[10:35] <thechef> Where can I see my subscriptions in Ubuntu One?
[10:36] <Lasers> DrGrov: Probably.
[10:36] <DrGrov> Lasers: And I wonder which directory would that be?
[10:36] <shreyansh> dr_willis, ohh thats lot of things to do.. is there any easy way.. can i go for another install again.. before that i can do sudo lilo -M/dev/sda mbr ?
[10:36] <llutz> strata: aptitude show exim4-whatever          should contain a line like "Provides: mail-transport-agent"
[10:36] <Lasers> DrGrov: I don't know. It's matter of looking in the home directory. Have you checked ~/.gnome2 and ~/.config/
[10:36] <rileyp> does irsend work in natty
[10:37] <Lasers> DrGrov: Not all developers follow the standards -- that's why we have some folders in ~/ or ~/.config or ~/.gnome2 :)
[10:38] <shreyansh> and my window vista loader is on sda2
[10:38] <DrGrov> Lasers: So if I jump on ~/.config and delete everything with gwibber I should be fine?
[10:38] <shreyansh> dr_willis,  my window vista is on sda2
[10:38] <Lasers> DrGrov: Look for ~/.config/gwibber if it exists.
[10:39] <Lasers> DrGrov: ~/Pictures is a picture folder. ~/Pictures/Prom-Night-2011 is an album. It's same thing. ~/.config is a configuration folder. ~/.config/gwibber is a gwibber folder.
[10:40] <alex--> aetas: are you there?
[10:40] <TheJester> what was the name of the script again, that could have eth0 occupied, so that there is no eth0 while there is a eth1 ?
[10:40] <DrGrov> Lasers: Nothing there, well I do not care anymore. Sick and tired of searching LOL
[10:41] <Lasers> DrGrov: I don't use gwibber myself (I find Chrome's TweetDeck much better). How about ~/.gnome2/ ?
[10:41] <llutz> TheJester:you mean  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ?
[10:42] <DrGrov> Lasers: Nothing there either. Nah, nevermind.
[10:42] <DrGrov> Lasers: I just switch client and work with something else.
[10:42] <shreyansh> i recently install ubuntu 11.04  - i am using Vista already and i installed ubuntu 11.04 in a free partition of 15Gb.. i have given swap space of 2 Gb and rest / and i installed it..... on complete installation and restarting  i found there is no grub bootleader in begining.. how can i log in Windows now.. :( please help.. urgent..
[10:43] <shreyansh> it directly logs me in in windows
[10:43] <alex--> shreyansh: I don't want to be rude, but as far as I know is every question urgent.
[10:43] <Lasers> DrGrov: Okay. :)
[10:43] <alex--> "how can i log in Windows now" "it directly logs me in in windows"
[10:43] <shreyansh> alex--,  my apologies..
[10:43] <DrGrov> Lasers: I mean it does not do any harm there since I can not run gwibber anyhow :)
[10:43] <alex--> What's booting, windows or ubuntu?
[10:44] <DrGrov> Lasers: I still have 12GB on / to fill so I am quite sure I am good to go :)
[10:44] <alex--> shreyansh: What's booting, windows or ubuntu?
[10:44] <shreyansh> alex--, ubuntu is booting directly..
[10:44] <Lasers> DrGrov: Cool. What are you running now? Pidgin's Twitter Plugin?
[10:44] <TheJester> hmmz, could be llutz , ill check it out... seems i dont have the hardware listed in the line that has the eth0
[10:44] <alex--> shreyansh: hold shift when booting, it will start GRUB
[10:44] <shreyansh> ok i will restart and try....
[10:44] <DrGrov> Lasers: No, I keep Pidgin only for MSN.
[10:44] <alex--> What is the maximum lenght of passwords for users (like root)?
[10:45] <DrGrov> Lasers: I think DestroyTwitter would be a good choice or then Hotot
[10:45] <shreyansh> alex--,  also i have tried to install grub on my sda2 -which is Vista sd9 - ubuntu and sda - main..
[10:45] <alex--> shreyansh: maybe it's installed but hidden
[10:46] <shreyansh> ok i will try..
[10:46] <alex--> hold shift (newer ubuntu versions), or esc (old ubuntu versions) to start GRUB
[10:46] <shreyansh> alex--,  ok i will check and get back to u in 5 min,
[10:46] <DrGrov> Lasers: But I hate to do Adobe AIR 2.0 just to get DestroyTwitter.
[10:47] <DrGrov> Lasers: Is it easy to install AIR 2.0 on 10.04?
[10:47] <alex--> What is the maximum lenght of passwords for users (like root)?
[10:48] <Lasers> DrGrov: iirc AIR is dropped from linux.
[10:48] <wooter> alex--, the password it hashed, so there shouldnt be a max length
[10:48] <DrGrov> Lasers: Ok, so it is a no go then.
[10:48] <Lasers> DrGrov: Try https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kmjdnkpkpnjblbgbnkeedepgnomafojk
[10:48] <Lasers> DrGrov: If you're using Chromium / Chrome.
[10:49] <mendogg_> hello
[10:49] <DrGrov> Lasers: Well as a matter of fact I use Chromium
[10:49] <alex--> wooter: can I use á and ö things in my password?
[10:49] <alex--> or ß ?
[10:49] <raven> dr_willis, how to start any xserver globally when no user is logged in?
[10:49] <wooter> i dont see why not alex--
[10:49] <Taceo> good morning from the PST NW region of America :)
[10:50] <shreyansh> alex--,  hey man.. this time grub appeared.. but when i selected window vista as shown by it.. error came.. no such device found..
[10:51] <shreyansh> alex--, but it is there.. i can access that vista c drive from my ubuntu
[10:51] <raven> how to start any xserver globally when no user is logged in?
[10:52] <wols> raven: what for?
[10:52] <wooter> shreyansh, id try reinstall grub
[10:52] <wols> shreyansh: how did you install windows and when?
[10:52] <alex--> Do I ever need to logon to my root account?
[10:52] <wols> alex--: no
[10:53] <raven> wols, how
[10:53] <shreyansh> wooter, wols , it was already installed .. windows vista
[10:53] <wols> alex--: and you cannot do it either unless you broke something
[10:53] <wols> raven: what are you trying to do?
[10:53] <shreyansh> wooter,  but why it is not detecting windows..
[10:53] <shreyansh> wooter, wols , is there any problem with MBR
[10:53] <shreyansh> ?
[10:53] <alex--> wols: shift > GRUB > root > passwd root > enter new password                is that breaking something?
[10:53] <DrGrov> Lasers: I still think I will go with something that is not integrated into a browser.
[10:53] <wols> shreyansh: if grub appears, your MBR is fine
[10:54] <DrGrov> Lasers: Not sure but I found Choqok which seems promising
[10:54] <wols> alex--: grub?
[10:54] <wooter> shreyansh, reinstall grub, it will redetect windows, its worth a try
[10:54] <alex--> wols: yes
[10:54] <raven> wols, graphically login to a machine which is waiting on the login screen
[10:54] <shreyansh> wooter, its detecting windows but not opening it...
[10:54] <wols> raven: run a displaymanager. ubuntu runs gdm by default
[10:55] <alex--> wols; http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub
[10:55] <wols> alex--: if I press "shift", nothing happens. you need to give more info what you are doing
[10:55] <wols> !root | alex--
[10:55] <alex--> when you are into grub, you select root, and then you can type a new root password
[10:55] <raven> wols, how would that work then?
[10:56] <shreyansh> wooter, wols , between i also made some foolish attempts to install grub in sda , sda2 - windows vista c drive , sda9 - ubuntu partition, with the help of boot repair app
[10:56] <DrGrov> Nobody here uses any Twitter client for Ubuntu? Only browser based Twitter?
[10:56] <alex--> DrGrov: gwibber
[10:56] <wols> alex--: there is nothing to recover. and when you are in grub then there is no usermanagement, no root, no normal user, nothing
[10:56] <robin0800> wols, only right shift works I think
[10:57] <alex--> robin0800: i'm using left shift, but on older systems it's esc
[10:57] <wols> shreyansh: I suggest you fix your vista booting by booting a vista CD and use its recovery console then
[10:57] <DrGrov> alex--: Gwibber... You got any issues with removing a tweet and it gets stuck in Gwibber even though on the browser it is gone?
[10:57] <wols> robin0800: he is talking gibberish without any clue what he reads
[10:57] <shreyansh> can't i do a sudo lilo -M/dev/sda mbr ????
[10:58] <alex--> DrGrov: i never really used it to post, but sometimes to check new tweets
[10:58] <shreyansh> wols,  can't i do a sudo lilo -M/dev/sda mbr ????
[10:58] <wols> alex--: short answer: if you enable the root password, fine. but don't except any help then. ubuntu uses sudo and sudo only. there is no root account to use
[10:58] <wols> shreyansh: to accomplish what?
[10:58] <alex--> wols: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrfzQNJIj8
[10:58] <DrGrov> alex--: Ok, that might explain the misfortune I had since it got stuck. Ah well, time to search for a good desktop Twitter client.
[10:59] <wols> alex--: there is no root password in ubuntu and never will be. what do you need it for?
[10:59] <minimec> Hi. Would one of you know how the KDE theme integration is loaded into a Ubuntu gnome session? I checked the 'startup-applications'GUI and '/usr/share/gnome-session'. Loading the 'gnome-settings-daemon' is not enough, as that is what I do, loading a e17 session. Running 11.04
[10:59] <raven> possible to login a user graphically via ssh?
[10:59] <shreyansh> wols, Mbr update.. may be.. i told u naa.. i made some foolish attempts to install grub everywhere.. sda , sda2 - window , sda9 - ubuntu
[10:59] <alex--> wols: to access any other home folders
[10:59] <wols> alex--: wrong. man sudo
[10:59] <alex--> hmm
[10:59] <alex--> how can i disable root now?
[11:00] <wols> alex--: you'd have to edit system files manually. and if you screw up you screw up your system...
[11:00] <richard_iii> question i was running gnome2.32 on ubuntu 11.04, and all of the sudden my gnome theme disappeared, and all the windows styles just appeared like windows2000 white styles.  the fonts stayed, but the styles just disappeared.  why?
[11:01] <goodtime> idk sounds bad thoe
[11:01] <richard_iii> reboot fixed it
[11:01] <goodtime> ok
[11:02] <raven> possible to login a user graphically via ssh?
[11:02] <wildbat> !freenx|raven
[11:02] <alex--> wols: ok then i will change it to another password and forget it =D
[11:03] <dr_willis> raven:  or install a vnc server.. or use X forwarding to a remote X server
[11:03] <shreyansh> wols, can i get your personal ID... please i need your help.. i m tired .. sitting in front of my laptop since yesterday night.. i need to resolve it..
[11:03] <shreyansh> wols, plz. :(
[11:03] <lg188> trying to write a dvd on Ubuntu. I get this: http://pastebin.com/NYY1hS7q I wrote on windows earlier and I get http://pastebin.com/QTyFzyVX
[11:04] <wols> shreyansh: I told you. boot a vista cd and fix your boot proecss via fixboot or whatever vista uses. not a ubuntu problem how to fix it
[11:04] <wildbat> alex--, sudo passwd -dl root
[11:04] <alex--> wildbat: what does it does?
[11:04] <shreyansh> wols, ok..
[11:04] <shreyansh> will get back in 5 min.
[11:04] <wildbat> alex--: Re-disabling your root account
[11:05] <shreyansh> wols, do the same and get beck to u in 5 min,
[11:05] <alex--> i will cahnge the password first
[11:05] <alex--> no i will just disable it
[11:05] <richard_iii> on my question about my gnome losing all the styles and going 2 white.... should i check system logs... check filesystem?  what is my next step to make sure my install isn't hosed
[11:06] <dr_willis> richard_iii:  ive seen similer issues mentioned on the forums and askubuntu.com site. I belive it was due to the gnome settings deamon crashing.  I would suggest checking there for similer issues.
[11:06] <alex-->  System information disabled due to load higher than 1.0
[11:06] <richard_iii> TYVM drwillis!
[11:06] <goodtime> huh i tryed to uninstall wine and it just wont do it
[11:07] <alex--> what's this got to mean?
[11:07] <alex--> load higher than 1.0 ?
[11:07] <dr_willis> goodtime:  sudo apt-get remove wine    will remove wine..... (if i got the package name right)
[11:07] <goodtime> ty dr_willis
[11:07] <alex--> dr_willis: yes it's right
[11:07] <dr_willis> goodtime:  that will NOT touch the windows apps you actually installed... those are in the users home dir...
[11:08] <dr_willis> people often get confused and think removeing wine will remoe the various wine icons for apps they installed...
[11:08] <dr_willis> or the .wine dir/apps.. it will not touch those.
[11:09] <goodtime> Package wine is not installed, so not removed
[11:09] <goodtime> lol
[11:09] <richard_iii> dr_willis- Thanks again
[11:09] <goodtime> wtf this is crazy
[11:09] <alex--> goodtime: then apt-get install wine
[11:09] <goodtime> well i broke something
[11:10] <goodtime>  Permission denied
[11:10] <goodtime> heh
[11:10] <goodtime> thyis is bad
[11:11] <goodtime> this*

[11:11] <pen16> sudo iptables -A INPUT -d22
[11:11] <pen16> ^-- is that all I need
[11:12] <alex--> goodtime: sudo apt-get install win e

[11:12] <kitche> pen16: well first you need to install openssh-server

[11:12] <pen16> i did that kitche
[11:12] <pen16> the server is fine it works on localhost
[11:12] <pen16> just not to the outside
[11:12] <pen16> what commands do i need to open the firewall
[11:12] <hoodie-1> i installed lubuntu 10.04, and my usb drives and SD card won't work
[11:12] <alex--> pen16: your router has a firewall
[11:13] <pen16> no the router has this box DMZ'd
[11:13] <jrib> pen16: there are no firewall rules by default
[11:13] <pen16> all ports are open
[11:13] <pen16> ok on the forums it says Ubuntu blocks all ports by default

[11:13] <dr_willis> ubuntu has no ports OPEN by default. beause no services are installed by default normally....
[11:13] <dr_willis> tats not the same as blocked.
[11:13] <jrib> pen16: "All ports are closed by default, unless an application decides to open one."
[11:13] <pen16> ok then
[11:14] <pen16> why do they give ipchains commands down below?
[11:14] <dr_willis> no service listening is not 'closed' :)
[11:14] <dr_willis> unless they have redefined the terms somewhere...
[11:14] <jrib> pen16: because their (b) probably tells you how to close everything explicitly
[11:15] <pen16> (b) ?
[11:15] <pen16> oh
[11:15] <jrib> pen16: in the post you are referring
[11:15] <babilen> Hi all. Would you mind if I advertise DebConf talks that I deem interesting to an Ubuntu audience in here? (schedule at http://penta.debconf.org/dc11_schedule/index.en.html)
[11:15] <jrib> pen16: anyway « sudo iptables -L » will show you if you have any iptables rules
[11:15] <goodtime> thanks everybody
[11:16] <goodtime> fixed it
[11:16] <goodtime> :)
[11:16] <jrib> babilen: please use #ubuntu-offtopic and maybe ubuntu fridge
[11:16] <Guest80453> i have a simple router that acts as DNS server, in the lease table i see the host with its ip, in my /etc/resolv.conf i have the router set (among others) as dns server... nslookup cant find the hostname, any ideas ?

[11:16] <babilen> jrib: I will do that - just wanted to check. Thank you :)
[11:17] <hoodie-1> i installed lubuntu 10.04, and my usb/sd drives aren't working
[11:17] <hoodie-1> the lubuntu chan is dead
[11:18] <hoodie-1> any help?
[11:18] <dr_willis> hoodie-1:  mount them by hand>
[11:18] <alex--> what is lubuntu?
[11:18] <hoodie-1> mount by hand how?
[11:18] <dr_willis> !mount
[11:19] <goodtime> lubuntu is just another distro of linux alex--
[11:19] <hoodie-1> umm.. i'm not sure that's the issue....
[11:19] <hoodie-1> i just want to make a startup disk of ubuntu 11.04 and get out of this mess
[11:19] <hoodie-1> but i can't! ha!
[11:19] <dr_willis> sudo mkdir /media/MAKEADIR , then sudo mount /dev/sdXX  /media/THEDIRYOUMADE   is the basics
[11:19] <hoodie-1> (startup usb that is)
[11:19] <dr_willis> hoodie-1:  the usb-creator should handle all the mounting then
[11:20] <hoodie-1> actually... it's a startup SD card, but it works with my netbook
[11:20] <hoodie-1> i just said it doesn't work
[11:20] <hoodie-1> fail.
[11:20] <dr_willis> if its an internal SD slot. it may not be a normal /dev/sdXX device
[11:20] <hoodie-1> i've done this several times
[11:20] <hoodie-1> ubuntu 11.04 to lubuntu 11.04
[11:20] <hoodie-1> lubuntu 11.04 to lubuntu 10.04
[11:21] <hoodie-1> so it works.. in those cases
[11:21] <oCean> !enter | hoodie-1
[11:21] <hoodie-1> but my lubuntu 10.04 is apparently a disaster
[11:21] <hoodie-1> yeah, ok, i don't know how many characters i get before it cuts me off.
[11:21] <Guest80453> where does dnsdomainname get its info ?
[11:23] <hoodie-1> the disk utility program is seemingly letting me mount/unmount/reformat/etc.. but when i use the startup disk creator, it fails. and when i try to work with any files on SD or my other USD drive, that all fails..
[11:23] <com64> Radio Tray doesn't want to launch...
[11:23] <com64> :(
[11:24] <bosch79> Ciao a Tutti ;)
[11:24] <dr_willis> com64:  in unity  most indicator applets ned to be whitelisted in order for them to be allowed to display. Is it running and not showing.. or running and crashing? (run it from a terminal perhaps)
[11:25] <dr_willis> where did 'radio tray' come from?
[11:25] <com64> It's running and not showing.
[11:25] <bosch79> !list
[11:25] <com64> I installed it from ubuntu software centre
[11:25] <dr_willis> com64:  sounds liek it needs to be whitelisted then. the webupd8 blog site had a guide on doing that. but its odd its not set to whitelist itself..  but not supriseing i guess
[11:26] <hoodie-1> no help?
[11:26] <dr_willis> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-hide-or-show-app-tray-applets-in-ubuntu-11-04/
[11:27] <dr_willis> hoodie-1:  they mey be getting mounted where users dont have access. but root does.. tried accessing them as root yet?
[11:27] <hoodie-1> the startup disk creator asks for creds for root
[11:28] <hoodie-1> .. um.. then it fails
[11:28] <dr_willis> 'when i try to work with files....'' tryed to work with them as root?
[11:28] <Oxymoron> How long time took it for ubuntu to be done first time? :)
[11:28] <oCean> Oxymoron: that's not a support question. Please keep such discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:29] <hoodie-1> idk how
[11:30] <Oxymoron> oCean: Yeah if someone would answer in there ...
[11:30] <oCean> Oxymoron: that's not a reason to start that discussion here
[11:30] <dr_willis> hoodie-1:  run a file manager as root  is one way 'gksudo filemanagername'
[11:31] <hoodie-1> dunno how..
[11:32] <dr_willis> open terminal 'gksudo name-of-filemanager-you-want-to-run'
[11:33] <hoodie-1> GKsudo? why GK? and i don't know any file manager names
[11:33] <Kasei1> hi, i kind of have a audio problem with the audio from my bt878 tv card and xawtv
[11:33] <dr_willis> !gksudo
[11:33] <Oxymoron> Is there any guide on ubuntu website to fix hdmi video AND audio?
[11:34] <hoodie-1> ok, now i don't know what any file manager command is...
[11:34] <Kasei1> i can not atjust the audio level of the tv sound
[11:35] <dr_willis> I dont rember the name of the file manager in lubuntu, may be pcmanfm, may be thundar
[11:35] <com64> um... radiotray is still not showing up!
[11:35] <th0r> dr_willis: pcmanfm, thunar is xfce
[11:36] <dr_willis> launch a file manaer, check the about menu item. :) heh..
[11:36] <dr_willis> only file manager i ever run as root is 'mc'
[11:36] <alex--> Anyone who can help me with webmin?
[11:36] <dr_willis> alex--:  best help for that - is to forget it even exists...
[11:37] <alex--> why?
[11:37] <com64> hm
[11:37] <alex--> dr_willis: why?
[11:37] <Sidewinder1> !webmin | alex--
[11:38] <alex--> which control panel do you recommend then?
[11:38] <Guest80453>  any idea why a nslookup host will return cant find host NXDOMAIN ? while in the /etc/resolv.conf is the ip of the router set as server, and the router is a standard router with dhcp server ?
[11:38] <vlt> Guest80453: You could try "dig host" for a more detailed answer.
[11:39] <hoodie-1> how in the world is this supposed to help me with my problem???
[11:39] <alex--> which control panel do you recommend then? Sidewinder1
[11:39] <yoyoned> alex--: what task are you trying to acomplish. why do you need a control panel
[11:39] <hoodie-1> ubuntu is FREAKISHLY harder than it's marketed to seem
[11:40] <alex--> yoyoned: to manage my game servers and provide game hosting
[11:40] <dr_willis> alex--:  i reccomend ;earning to configure things via the terminal.
[11:40] <dr_willis> hoodie-1:  lubuntu 11.04 works much better then the 10.04 version i recall.
[11:40] <alex--> and port 22 is blocked at my location
[11:40] <Guest80453> vlt, how should i interpret the output of that ?
[11:40] <hoodie-1> lubuntu 11.04 wouldn't run java correctly, so i went back to the LTS version
[11:41] <hoodie-1> lubuntu 10.04 ran java ok, but has a myriad of other, worse issues.
[11:41] <yoyoned> alex--: you can run the ssh server on an alternate port
[11:41] <thefirstdude> hi
[11:41] <alex--> my control panel can do ssh and ftp, so I only need to ask if they want to open 1 port. I need a game-hosting panel (free) and i need a webhosting panel
[11:41] <dr_willis> Hmm.. 11.04 shuld run java just fine. same as any other ubuntu release.
[11:41] <thefirstdude> is it possible to upgrade ubuntu via ssh
[11:41] <vlt> Guest80453: There's a "SERVER:" line that should tell you whether the correct NS was asked, for example.
[11:42] <vlt> thefirstdude: Yes.
[11:42] <Guest80453> vlt ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.254#53(192.168.1.254)
[11:42] <tsimpson> !pt | thefirstdude
[11:42] <dr_willis> thefirstdude:  yes.. but hope you dont have a powerfaulure or other issue that kills the connection during upgrade.
[11:43] <thefirstdude> I dont speak um portugese
[11:43] <vlt> Guest80453: That's the NS used. If you paste the complete output somewhere we could have a look at it.
[11:43] <thefirstdude> ok
[11:43] <dr_willis> use of screen during a upgrade  would be very reccomended.
[11:43] <thefirstdude> ok
[11:43] <thefirstdude> I can just reimage it if it fails
[11:43] <alex--> tsimpson: why did you thought he was portugese?
[11:43] <vlt> thefirstdude: reimage?
[11:44] <Guest80453> vlt: http://pastebin.com/e6AmESSx
[11:44] <thefirstdude> ist just a vps
[11:44] <thefirstdude> so I just do "do-release-upgrade"
[11:44] <hoodie-1> sorry, i'm completely lost. trying to make an ubuntu 11.04 usb startup disc, but can't...
[11:44] <dr_willis> given the weirdness ive seen in here with vps's.....
[11:45] <vlt> Guest80453: Your nameserver doesn't know "knowitall"
[11:45] <dr_willis> hoodie-1:  there are alternetive tools at the pendrivelinux web site that can make  a 11.04 usb startup disk if the ubuntu ones are messing up on you.
[11:45] <thefirstdude> um I have Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS \n \l
[11:45] <thefirstdude> but I cant install anything
[11:45] <thefirstdude> because my libraries are outdated
[11:45] <thefirstdude> how do i upgrade them
[11:46] <thefirstdude> Im rly rly rly rly mad
[11:46] <thefirstdude> spent 5 hours already on this
[11:46] <Guest80453> vlt: would you expect a standard router that does dhcp, also handle dns ?
[11:46] <richard_iii> i know i've misplaced some fruit on my desk.  can you help me find it before it physically rots?
[11:47] <th0r> thefirstdude: six lines of whining and we still don't know what libraries you are talking about
[11:47] <thefirstdude> boost
[11:47] <Guest80453> vlt: and there is a dns server right ? it just tells us it doesnt know the host
[11:47] <oCean> richard_iii: that has nothing to do with ubuntu
[11:47] <JeSsica``> Helloo frendss x)
[11:47] <alex--> JeSsica``: i'm not your frend
[11:47] <alex--> i dont even know you
[11:48] <oCean> alex--: then please don't answer
[11:48]  * Sidewinder1 Sighs..
[11:48] <alex--> oCean: sorry :p
[11:48] <thefirstdude> is there a way to force update or something
[11:49] <StevenR> thefirstdude: can you be more precise about what you're trying to achieve?
[11:49] <vlt> Guest80453: Hmmm, a router technically is just for routing packets. DHCP and DNS are different things. I assume you're talking about a multi purpose device called "router". DNS is running there.
[11:49] <llutz> Guest80453: does your routers dhcp also set hostnames?
[11:49] <thefirstdude> Im trying to install spring vrsion 82.7*
[11:49] <thefirstdude> but the repo has version 80
[11:49] <thefirstdude> 8.0
[11:50] <StevenR> thefirstdude: ok... what's wrong with the version in the repo?
[11:50] <thefirstdude> i downloadded the .deb for 82 but it wont work because I have ancient libs with lucid
[11:50] <dr_willis> 10.04 is lts release.. the libs shouldebt be outdated
[11:50] <thefirstdude> its a game
[11:50] <thefirstdude> u nEED the latest ofc
[11:50] <thefirstdude> well the libs are outdated
[11:50] <dr_willis> there may be ppa's for newer versions..
[11:51] <StevenR> dr_willis: why? software development doesn't stop just cos ubuntu have released an LTS release :P
[11:51] <thefirstdude> already tried them
[11:51] <dr_willis> older versions is not the same as outdated.
[11:51] <bazhang> !enter | thefirstdude
[11:51] <dr_willis> now if you were running  dapper drake.......
[11:51] <thefirstdude> thanks you just added 4 more lines of red to my screen
[11:52] <dr_willis> but ive totally frogtten the whole core problem...
[11:52] <bazhang> thefirstdude, find a PPA, compile it yourself
[11:52] <thefirstdude> I guess thats my only solution
[11:52] <StevenR> thefirstdude: what's wrong with the ppas?
[11:52] <th0r> dr_willis: he wants to install an unsupported deb for an unsupported game and is ticked off because the repos don't have the necessary unsupported libs
[11:53] <thefirstdude> um they are ppas but obviously they are still for lucid
[11:53] <dr_willis> th0r:  you missed its on a 'vps' which im not even sure how officially supported those are.....
[11:53] <thefirstdude> with outdated libs
[11:53] <thefirstdude> and no binaries
[11:53] <thefirstdude> sry for the enter thing I will ahve to remember
[11:53] <bazhang> thefirstdude, we've given you the options, no need to ask further
[11:53] <StevenR> thefirstdude: does natty include the versions you need?
[11:54] <thefirstdude> yes
[11:54] <dr_willis> if the libs are in the repos to begin with. .compiling new versions become a bit easier.
[11:54] <StevenR> then um... update to maverick and then natty?
[11:54] <thefirstdude> i tried do-release-upgrade
[11:54] <dr_willis> apt-get build-deps  packagename       should pull in all needed dev packages to compile a newer version. but if the new version needs newer versions of those... well...
[11:54] <thefirstdude> it says no new version
[11:55] <StevenR> thefirstdude: that's cos you've got "LTS releases only" in your updater thingy
[11:55] <thefirstdude> how can i force it to change
[11:55] <thefirstdude> is this possible
[11:56] <StevenR> thefirstdude: run the update manager, and under "settings/updates" near the bottom of the dialog
[11:56] <thefirstdude> well Im on ssh
[11:56] <StevenR> so?
[11:56] <thefirstdude> is there way to do this in the terminal
[11:57] <StevenR> thefirstdude: what's your client machine?
[11:57] <StevenR> i.e. the one you're sshing from
[11:57] <thefirstdude> putty
[11:57] <thefirstdude> windows
[11:57] <StevenR> oh. eww.
[11:58] <StevenR> (if you had an X11 client machine, I'd have suggested using ssh -X)
[11:58] <th0r> StevenR: you can still do that, but he needs to install xming in windows and get it running...don't think you want to go there <smile>
[11:58] <vlt> thefirstdude: I'm sure there's a way to set it via ssh ...
[11:59] <thefirstdude> I dont care for gui just want to know if I can get out of lucid LTS
[11:59] <alex--> What is the best firewall in ubuntu server?
[11:59] <sudokill> iptables
[11:59] <StevenR> thefirstdude: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[12:00] <oCean> !ufw | alex--
[12:00] <StevenR> sudokill: iptables isn't a firewall
[12:00] <StevenR> it's an interface to the netfilter kernel modules
[12:00] <sudokill> yea it is
[12:00] <StevenR> nope
[12:00] <alex--> Then why does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security recommend other firewalls oCean ?
[12:00] <sudokill> so? ufw is a firewall?
[12:00] <sudokill> that just makes iptables rules?
[12:01] <StevenR> iptables — administration tool for IPv4 packet filtering and NAT
[12:01] <thefirstdude> well I found out how to do it, thanks to lots of googling
[12:01] <oCean> alex--: that page does list ufw
[12:01] <llutz> a "firewall" is a concept, not a single piece of software/hardware
[12:01] <th0r> StevenR: and what exactly do you think a firewall does?
[12:01] <alex--> ah
[12:01] <system404> hey guys just installed ubuntu 11.04 my wifi seems to be working it showing the networks but when i try to connect it just keeps asking for password even though ive entered the password ive tried changing encryption type from the router but even if i change to wpa wep or wpa2 ubuntu just asks for a wep key but still everytime it wont take the key
[12:01] <sudokill> i think arnos is good,
[12:02] <StevenR> sudokill: they're all interfaces to the netfilter kernel modules, some of the tools use iptables and merely provide a frontend.
[12:02] <sudokill> StevenR, i know that
[12:02] <StevenR> th0r: iptables is an administration interface only.
[12:02] <HITIN> does it make any difference if i install lubuntu not ubuntu?
[12:03] <sudokill> StevenR, no need to get technical, i think everyone knows what iptables is. its just the wording
[12:03] <dr_willis> HITIN:  differance for what?
[12:03] <sudokill> thats like saying shorewall isnt a firewall
[12:03] <bazhang> lets move on please
[12:03] <dr_willis> they use the same 'core' of the os..
[12:03] <bazhang> HITIN, lots faster
[12:04] <bazhang> sudokill, lets take the iptables chat elsewhere please
[12:04] <sudokill> ok
[12:04] <lion42> HITIN, if you've been having issues installing lubuntu all night, I'd say its time to abandon ship and try vanilla ubuntu.
[12:04] <system404> anyone able to help or got any ideas ?
[12:04] <bazhang> HITIN, lubuntu-desktop will do that
[12:05] <dr_willis> i tend to install ubuntu, then install the lubuntu-desktop package
[12:06] <sudokill> dr_willis, isnt it easier to just nstall lubuntu?
[12:06] <sudokill> lol
[12:07] <StevenR> sudokill: maybe it doesn't have all the nice admin tools by default
[12:07] <system404> so any ideas why ubuntu wont connect to wifi
[12:08] <StevenR> system404: what hardware?
[12:08] <system404> zoostorm vme50
[12:08] <dr_willis> sudokill:  i always want both anyway normally
[12:08] <system404> i think its realtek wireless
[12:08] <StevenR> system404: what wireless hardware?
[12:08] <system404> realtek
[12:08] <StevenR> system404: what does lspci tell you?
[12:08] <system404> ?
[12:08] <system404> linux n00b here sorry
[12:09] <StevenR> system404: run lspci in a terminal, and paste the one line that relates to your wireless card here
[12:09] <StevenR> system404: which version of ubuntu or varient thereof did you install?
[12:10] <StevenR> system404: are you irc-ing from a different pc?
[12:10] <super-bob> hi folks, i need to add user to group from live cd. Which file should i edit?
[12:10] <system404> StevenR, Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)

[12:10] <system404> its Ubuntu 11.04
[12:12] <jrib> system404: either chroot to your install and use adduser or very carefully edit /etc/group
[12:13] <system404> what
[12:13] <system404> how does that help with wifi
[12:13] <StevenR> system404: he means super-bob
[12:13] <system404> oh
[12:13] <system404> lol
[12:13] <system404> StevenR, so any ideas
[12:14] <system404> and no im IRC-ing from ubuntu plugged into ethernet atm
[12:14] <jrib> super-bob: either chroot to your install and use adduser or very carefully edit /etc/group
[12:14] <dr_willis> now if you were running  dapper drake.......
[12:14] <dr_willis> hoodie-1:  lubuntu 11.04 works much better then the 10.04 version i recall.
[12:15] <dr_willis> silly grandkid started playing with the mouse. :) lucky he just pasted 2 lines.
[12:15] <super-bob> jrib: thanx
[12:16] <StevenR> dr_willis: if he can use the mouse, then it's time to start teaching him vim, python and bash ;p
[12:17] <system404> StevenR, its working
[12:17] <goodtime> how do i see my files in the terminal and how do i go to the sub directory
[12:17] <dr_willis> StevenR:  he has the bashing down good... bashes the keyboard with both hands... hes 2.
[12:17] <jrib> !terminal | goodtime
[12:17] <system404> i changed channel from 9-11 then it started picking up properly and asking for wpa personal sorted

[12:21] <jayvee> howdy folks -- I'm trying to debug a system that boots over nfs, but is hanging during boot. I'd like to be able to spawn a shell before the main part of the boot process starts, but I'm not sure what the "start on " syntax for /etc/init/tty2.conf should be
[12:22] <jayvee> the reason why I want to spawn an early shell is so that I can diagnose it further
[12:22] <jayvee> currently /etc/init/tty2.conf says "start on runlevel [23]" but there is no shell on tty2, so obviously "runlevel [23]" is too late in the boot process for my needs
[12:22] <jayvee> is there anything earlier I can use?
[12:23] <Infernet> hey all

[12:26] <nerdshell> dnivra: thanks ;)
[12:26] <nerdshell> exit
[12:28] <goodtime> this is not the original goodtime
[12:28] <goodtime> hes sittin this one out
[12:28] <dr_willis> its a fake? :)
[12:29] <goodtime> no just a friend trying to learn linux
[12:29] <dr_willis> jayvee:  i got a trick to start a bash shell in tty2.conf.. just a sec...
[12:30] <dr_willis> jayvee:  see this --> $ pastebinit  tty6.conf
[12:30] <dr_willis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/651165/
[12:31] <dr_willis> jayvee:  that puts a 'emergancy' root shell on tty6 on bootup. Not a good idea from security. but good when 'testing' stuff
[12:32] <Aer> Hi, I was wondering if someone could answer something for me about making an image of my linux hard drive
[12:32] <jrib> Aer: just ask your question
[12:32] <Aer> I have Acronis True Image Home 2010. How friendly is Ubuntu 10.4 and True Image IF i want to make a full backup image of my Linux hard drive and all its contents ?
[12:33] <system404> how do i make the app launcher smaller in ubuntu
[12:33] <jrib> Aer: no idea what True Image is, but here's the wiki on backups
[12:33] <jrib> !backups | Aer
[12:33] <Aer> ok, thanks
[12:33] <system404> ubuntu 11.04
[12:33] <Aer> ill check them out now
[12:33] <phasma> anybody mind helping me fix my GRUB, please? Things seem awfully quiet in #grub
[12:33] <alex--> will Wireshark work on linux?
[12:34] <Oxymoron> phasma: Whats the problem? :)
[12:34] <dnivra> !info wireshark | alex--
[12:34] <Sidewinder1> Aer, Also look into grsync; a GUI for the rsync command.
[12:34] <jrib> alex--: wireshark is in ubuntu's default repositories
[12:34] <alex--> i mean
[12:34] <alex--> ubuntu server
[12:34] <dnivra> alex--: why wouldn't it?
[12:34] <Aer> hmm not seen rsync ill look into it thanks :)
[12:34] <dr_willis> system404:  the left side panel. can be tweaked with the Unity compiz plugin via the 'ccsm' tool
[12:34] <phasma> Oxymoron: Just trying to get a custom kernel added. http://pastebin.com/qdmRW4gN is what I have. Running update-grub does not seem to be picking it up
[12:34] <dr_willis> !ccsm | system404
[12:34] <system404> in ubuntu 11.04 how do i move the app launcher and make it smaller
[12:34] <alex--> because it's graphical
[12:34] <dr_willis> system404:  you dont move it. but you can make it smaller. and not auto hide. and a few other tweaks
[12:35] <system404> thanks
[12:35] <goodtime> are the commands in linux similiar to those you in dos
[12:35] <dnivra> alex--: there's a CLI version for wireshark. I don't remember the command though.
[12:35] <goodtime> this is not the original goodtime
[12:35] <jrib> goodtime: some are similar I suppose... read ubottu's link about the terminal
[12:35] <dr_willis> goodtime:  comapring 'bash' to dos' is like comparing a   Indy 500 car. to a Model T.
[12:35] <dr_willis> :)
[12:35] <phasma> heh
[12:35] <goodtime> lol
[12:35] <Sidewinder1> Aer, rsync is a command issued from the terminal for backing-up; grsync is simply a GUI/front-end that uses that command.
[12:36] <dr_willis> goodtime:  go learn bash.  thats the core of it. :)
[12:36] <Aer> ahh ok
[12:36] <Aer> cus im looking for a way to create an image of my hard drive
[12:36] <phasma> use dd
[12:36] <StevenR> goodtime: if you're not goodtime, please could you use a different nick, so we know?
[12:36] <Aer> so that if i need to reformat all my current programs and settings and document files are restored with the image
[12:36] <nothingspecial> goodtime: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[12:37] <sudokill> Aer,
[12:37] <Aer> ?
[12:37] <dr_willis> dd can image a hard drive partition to a file..
[12:37] <dnivra> !info tshark  | alex--
[12:37] <phasma> Aer: man dd :)
[12:37] <dr_willis> Aer:  but if you dd/restore/ you dont need to reformat befor you restore. :)
[12:37] <Aer> ahh ok
[12:37] <alex--> Is it good to use for a server?
[12:37] <sudokill> the time is 13:37
[12:38] <Aer> cus i kinda need something that is bootable
[12:38] <Kre10s_> when my system boots, it will login directly to the "ubuntu" user... where is the config for this behavior kept?
[12:38] <Aer> cus i need to format to something other than ubuntu temporarily
[12:38] <Aer> and want an image ready for when i come back
[12:38] <rileyp> does irsend work in natty
[12:39] <Aer> if that made sense lol
[12:40] <Aer> or is there no tool for linux for what i need to do ?
[12:40] <nothingspecial> Aer:   before="$(date +%s)"; sudo tar --same-owner -cpvzf /media/backup/11.04_Backup.tgz  --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/sys --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/tmp  --exclude=/media /; after="$(date +%s)"; echo "Elapsed time: $(expr $after - $before) seconds.";
[12:40] <alex--> dnivra: is wireshark/tshark good to use for ubuntu server?
[12:40] <lion42> Aer, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-clone-an-ubuntu-linux-drive-using-dd-and-is-it-the-same-as-ghost-700926/
[12:40] <dr_willis> !backup
[12:40] <Aer> thanks guys :)
[12:41] <jayvee> dr_willis: interesting, thanks for the tip -- although I don't understand why getty would not work where openvt would
[12:41] <jayvee> I'll see if it works
[12:41] <dnivra> alex--: good to use meaning it'll work? or is it safe? the former yes, latter no clue.
[12:41] <nothingspecial> Aer: Change /media/backup/11.04_Backup.tgz to where you want and what you want to call it
[12:41] <goodtime2> ty
[12:41] <alex--> dnivra: good for neccessary
[12:41] <jayvee> in the meantime I worked around it by passing init=/bin/bash to the kernel parameter, running "openvt -c 2 /bin/bash", and then running "exec /sbin/init"
[12:41] <Aer> so using this dd It will create an image of my drive now ?
[12:41] <goodtime2> nothingspecial: thank you :)
[12:42] <nothingspecial> :)
[12:42] <Aer> but if i dont have ubuntu installed how do i use dd to restore my image with all my installed programs files and settings ?
[12:42] <dr_willis> Aer:  live cd
[12:42] <lion42> usb stick.
[12:42] <dr_willis> Aer:  you will want to use a live cd to make the backup also.. you dont want to 'clone' a running system.
[12:42] <Aer> ahh ok
[12:43] <dnivra> alex--: tshark is basically a console version for wireshark. it has all functionalities of wireshark except the GUI. I think that's ideal for a server-no GUI, less code, less security holes.
[12:43] <Aer> so dd will just run from terminal in live cd no install ?
[12:43] <Kre10s_> :D lets all go clone /dev/null !!!
[12:43] <dr_willis> you run dd from a terminal.... :)
[12:43] <dr_willis> a minimal system can use dd.
[12:43] <phasma> Aer: Best way would be to hook up an external HDD (Equal or larger in size) and simply run: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/<2nd_HDD> (likely /dev/sdb) - should theoretically work
[12:43] <Aer> ahh ok
[12:44] <Aer> thanks for all the help everyone :)
[12:44] <vlt> Aer: Or ddrescue
[12:44] <Aer> ill look into this dd and try it today :)
[12:44] <phasma> it will take a LOOOOONG time
[12:44] <StevenR> Kre10s_: tried that once. It's really hard to build a black hole. I couldn't get the physics right.
[12:44] <Aer> hmm ddrescue ?
[12:44] <lion42> http://www.gnu.org/s/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
[12:44] <alex--> what is apparmor?
[12:44] <vlt> Aer: ... which has more sane default block sizes.
[12:44] <Aer> ohh ok
[12:45] <Aer> ill look into ddrescue as well :P thanks
[12:45] <vlt> Aer: And ddrescue could handle bad sectors on the source drive.
[12:45] <Aer> that could be useful
[12:45] <Kre10s_> Aer, fdisk -l to list disks/partitions
[12:46] <Aer> ok :)
[12:46] <dr_willis> definatly use a bs=2048 or similer option with dd.
[12:46] <Aer> ahh that reminds me, dd will also clone the other partitions such as swap space etc ? or i have to add them manually ?
[12:46] <Kre10s_> so that you know from what and to what you are copying..
[12:46] <dr_willis> if the hd is failing.. ddrescue is a great tool
[12:46] <Aer> ok :)
[12:46] <vlt> Aer: Depends on the command you run
[12:46] <dr_willis> Aer:  theres no need to clone swap. you can remake it.
[12:46] <Aer> ok
[12:46] <lion42> I think we over-answered them, lol
[12:46] <phasma> long time since I used dd to backup like this, although I think specifying a 1k BS is sane here
[12:47] <dr_willis> you can dd the whole drive.. or indiv. partitionbs.
[12:47] <phasma> indeed
[12:47] <Aer> id liek to dd the whole drive so when i reinstall ubuntu i can put it back to exactly how it was
[12:47] <dr_willis> I thought bs of 1k was the default.
[12:47] <vlt> 512b is default
[12:47] <phasma> yeah. 512
[12:47] <alex-->   => There is 1 zombie process.
[12:47] <dr_willis> thres ways to compress the dd image on the fly. but that can take a lot more time.
[12:47] <alex--> what does this means?
[12:47] <dr_willis> alex--:  it wants your brainzzzzz...
[12:48] <dr_willis> :)
[12:48] <alex--> dr_willis: is it dangerous?
[12:48] <dr_willis> alex--:  its one that the partent process as died. I think. check the wikipedia for 'zombie process'
[12:48] <squarrel> rm -rf ./*    removes everything in the current directory, right?
[12:48] <wols> alex--: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/79186.aspx
[12:48] <wols> squarrel: yes, but you need to be very carefuly obviously
[12:49] <squarrel> ok
[12:49] <StevenR> squarrel: it may not remove hidden files
[12:49] <alex--> What is Fail2Ban?
[12:49] <dr_willis> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
[12:49] <dr_willis> the child process has "died" but has not yet been "reaped".
[12:50] <squarrel> all went well
[12:50] <oCean> alex--: I recommend doing some research yourself, and use this channel for actual support issues
[12:50] <alex--> root      1648  4.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    14:49   0:00 [miniserv.pl] <defunct>
[12:50] <raven> any release of ardour with midi support for linux??
[12:50] <alex--> this is my zombie process
[12:50] <Aer> thanksfor your help guys im gonna log and go see if i can use this dd lol :P cya and thanks again
[12:51] <dr_willis> alex--:  its prob. not worth worrying about. eventually it will get reaped.. or you will reboot and it will go away..
[12:51] <alex--> i already rebooted
[12:51] <goodtime2> I tried the bash commands and they didnt work
[12:51] <dr_willis> then you got somthing starting it anew every time you boot.
[12:52] <dr_willis> goodtime2:  it pays to be a bit more vebose in your statements....
[12:52] <dr_willis> goodtime2:  no one rembers what you were doing. :)
[12:52] <goodtime2> sorry
[12:53] <nothingspecial> goodtime2: which bash commands, from the guide
[12:53] <nothingspecial> ?
[12:53] <raven> any release of ardour with midi support for linux??
[12:54] <Zuzak> Howdy, is there a way to replicate the Unity application menu/title bar hover thing in gnome?
[12:54] <phasma> http://pastebin.com/qT92TgSq - Is this syntactically correct?
[12:54] <goodtime2> nothingspecial:  yes i tried the $ ls command
[12:54] <lion42> raven, according to google, not in 2010
[12:54] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:54] <lion42> that may have changed in the last year, of course.
[12:55] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' BluesKaj
[12:55] <lfender> who in this room uses Zorin OS
[12:55] <villa> hello
[12:55] <alex--> lfender: it's ubuntu channel
[12:55] <BluesKaj> 'morning Sidewinder1
[12:55] <alex--> what do you expect?
[12:56] <lfender> ya but i know not every one use ubuntu on the chennal
[12:56] <vlt> !ot | lfender
[12:56] <lion42> HAUKI FOREVER. or at least until I realize most things don't work and wont for years and give up.
[12:56] <villa> when I type a executive file in terminal, it shows exec: 1: /home/villa/Documents/matlab64/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB: Permission denied. what's the problem?
[12:57] <lfender> im sorry i use ubuntu i was just wanting to know if any one had ever just that one
[12:57] <StevenR> villa: is that not obvious from the error message?
[12:57] <Kre10s_> How do I change CLI login behavior?
[12:57] <tchnkion> trying to get usb thumbdrive to mount - installed the package usbmount but it's not working, is there something which needs to bee changed?
[12:57] <raven> lion42, what do you mean?
[12:57] <vlt> villa: Look at the file permissions with "ls -l" or "stat".
[12:57] <tchnkion> *be
[12:57] <Kre10s_> my system logs in as user "ubuntu" without password prompt.
[12:58] <StevenR> Kre10s_: livecd/usb ?
[12:58] <Kre10s_> yup...
[12:58] <lion42> raven, it was a joke. I've tried various distros over the years and come back to ubuntu when the going gets rough. :P
[12:58] <Kre10s_> Ideally i would like to customize who it logs in as... and run an app at startup.
[12:59] <raven> lion42, so no ardour for any linux with midi?
[12:59] <lion42> Oh! You were referencing a different line than I thought you were, raven.
[12:59] <lion42> Based on what I saw on google, raven, that appears to have not been the case a year ago. It may have changed in a year, obviously.
[12:59]  * goodtime2 is listening to Guns N' Roses [ Use Your Illusion II ] - 5. Get In The Ring [Audacious]
[12:59] <goodtime2> sorry
[13:00] <nothingspecial> goodtime2: do everything without the initial $
[13:00] <raven> lion42, ii do not think so - i am looking for it since early 2008
[13:00] <kundancool> I have some basic question regarding 32 bit os and 64 bit Ubuntu who can help me with that
[13:00] <goodtime2> ok\
[13:00] <villa> vlee, I need you to help me. -rwxr-xr-x 1 villa villa  55534 2009-06-30 04:02 matlab. is it ok?
[13:00] <lion42> raven, sorry I can't be of more help.
[13:01] <villa> vlt,
[13:01] <alex--> I have ubuntu server running in virtualbox, I made some changes on it, is there any way to see which things I changed because I want the same things at my VPS?
[13:01] <vlt> villa: That looks like a differetn file.
[13:01] <noaki> hey, i installed a cmd line system with fluxbox. now when i boot it boots into tty7 but i have no gmd/lightdm/... how do i boot into tty1 so i can just log in via terminal?
[13:01] <phasma> MATLAB and matlab are completely different files
[13:01] <StevenR> villa: that's not the file referred to in the error
[13:02] <phasma> villa: chmod +x /home/villa/Documents/matlab64/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB (MATLAB is a file and not a directory, right?)
[13:02] <linxeh> alex--: you can generate a list of installed packages, but if you didnt keep the original configuration files or put them in version control, you might have a harder time. However, you can always compare files you have on your machine with the same files on the VPS
[13:03] <linxeh> alex--: the diff command will compare two files and show you the differences between them
[13:03] <tchnkion> trying to get usb thumbdrive to mount - installed the package usbmount but it's not working, is there something which needs to be changed?
[13:03] <alex--> linxeh: i changed some things (port of ssh), but i can't remember them all
[13:03] <linxeh> alex--: it would be a good idea to keep a log book :)
[13:03] <kundancool> I want to know whether using 64bit Ubuntu on a PC with :
[13:03] <kundancool> Processor : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz
[13:03] <kundancool> RAM : 1 GB DDR2
[13:03] <kundancool> HDD : 160GB
[13:03] <FloodBot1> kundancool: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:04] <lion42> ...whoops.
[13:04] <kundancool> FloodBot1: sorry about that
[13:04] <linxeh> alex--: do you know what things you changed generally (eg ssh config, apache configuration etc, rather than the actual settings) ?
[13:04] <StevenR> kundancool: if you've only got 1GB of RAM, you'll probably see no benefit
[13:04] <alex--> linxeh: some, but not all
[13:04] <alex--> i made some kind of test system to prepare for the vps
[13:04] <lion42> kundancool, is there a reason why you have relatively little ram?
[13:04] <kundancool> StevenR: so I must continue with 32bit version ?
[13:04] <vlt> kundancool: Maybe running something like MySQL on that machine could benefit from 64bit.
[13:05] <StevenR> kundancool: you don't have to
[13:05] <kundancool> lion42: I have a old PC :(
[13:05] <linxeh> alex--: so, I guess you'll need to apply the things you can remember, and then try and work out the rest if things dont work right
[13:05] <noaki> hey, i installed a cmd line system with fluxbox. now when i boot it boots into tty7 but i have no gmd/lightdm/... how do i boot into tty1 so i can just log in via terminal?
[13:05] <kundancool> lion42: not upgraded since years
[13:05] <StevenR> kundancool: 64bit would only really make a difference if you had 4GB or more ram.
[13:05] <linxeh> alex--: in theory you could use the rsync tool to identify files on each machine that have been changed
[13:06] <linxeh> alex--: you can make rsync do a dry-run - ie not actually transfer any files
[13:06] <kundancool> StevenR: Thanks for your reply.... I will stick to 32 bit until I upgrade my PC
[13:06] <linxeh> alex--: then you might be able to search the output of the files it would transfer to work out what you changed
[13:06] <jita> I cannot seem to install lubuntu 11.04 under virtualbox 4.1.0, it hangs on startup and the screen flickers and says ubiquity crashed. whats the reason?44
[13:06] <kundancool> Bye all Have a Great day ! :D
[13:06] <alex--> thx linxeh
[13:07] <StevenR> jita: sounds like the faked graphics card isn't good enough
[13:07] <jita> StevenR: any solution? peppermint os which is based on lubuntu seems to install fine
[13:08] <dr_willis> I couldent get pepermint to boot here last i tried it. :)
[13:08] <alexleon> hello im getting a note everytime i turn on my laptop asking for my password its something about keyring nd my laptop didnt ask for any password before
[13:08] <dr_willis> alexleon:  do you mean when you LOGIN?
[13:09] <dr_willis> power up -> grub -> GDM login screen -> Desktop (then it may ask for a keyring password)
[13:09] <alexleon> mm yes but i have it in automatic login
[13:09] <alexleon> let me see
[13:09] <StevenR> alexleon: but it can't unlock the keyring automatically like that.
[13:10] <dr_willis> so it wants the keyring password you gave it at one time..
[13:10] <rileyp> irsend in natty whats going on
[13:10] <alexleon> but before it didnt ask for anything :(
[13:10] <dr_willis> you can set the keyring to use a blank.. and it will use 'unsafe' storage
[13:10] <dr_willis> You set a keyring password at some time.. when it wanted to rember some other passwords..
[13:10] <StevenR> rileyp: please could you be less vague?
[13:10] <rileyp> I have a mceusb ir receiver the most poular on the planet and it dont work
[13:11] <dr_willis> bbl - gotta run
[13:11] <alexleon> uh?
[13:11] <tchnkion> trying to get usb thumbdrive to mount - installed the package usbmount but it's not working, is there something which needs to be changed?
[13:11] <StevenR> alexleon: you set a password at some point
[13:12] <rileyp> reciever works irsend appears to run ok without error but led does not blink
[13:12] <esp> hi. I accidentally destroyed my box and I need help real quick. some default desktop files got removed. i cant find any way to bring these files back. i have uninstalled and reinstalled every Gnome related package and still they dont come back
[13:12] <REK_007> Will the next version of ubuntu likely to support GNOME 3 or will it stick to Unity?
[13:12] <esp> can you please just run this script and send me the files
[13:12] <rileyp> Im sure my hardware conf is good
[13:12] <esp> http://codepad.org/ywlHKUh9
[13:12] <villa> another error.  error while loading shared libraries: libicudata.so.40:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. but I locate it. it shows there
[13:12] <esp> on Ubuntu 11.04
[13:13] <esp> this Codepad has a list of the files that were removed
[13:13] <alexleon> uhm u mean it will be asking for my password anyway?
[13:13] <petan> is there a way to somehow reload s-ata bus so that devices which were disconnected reload in /dev ?
[13:13] <rumpe1> esp, why not just create a new user?
[13:13] <StevenR> alexleon: it's asking for your *keyring* password
[13:13] <petan> I mean I disconnected drive for few minutes and now I can't find it in /dev
[13:13] <esp>  rumpe1: cause they are in /usr/share/applications/
[13:13] <esp> its global
[13:13] <StevenR> alexleon: is your login passord and keyring password the same?
[13:14] <AlexDevilLX> Halt vs Shutdown?
[13:14] <alexleon> stevenr yes
[13:14] <rumpe1> esp, how got they removed?
[13:14] <alex--> I wonder, some guide told me to add 'tmpfs     /dev/shm     tmpfs     defaults,ro     0     0' to '/etc/fstab' but another guide tells me that i have to add 'tmpfs     /dev/shm     tmpfs     defaults,noexec,nosuid     0     0'. Which one is better? (more secure)
[13:14] <Usr_Smith> Lol.
[13:15] <rileyp> StevenR mceusb receiver on natty works fine but ir send not playing ball  I noticed ir record would not work either
[13:15] <alexleon> i dont want it to ask me the keyring password when i log in :)
[13:15] <esp> rumpe1: I was building 'KDevelop' and it asked me to run kbuildsycoca4
[13:16] <acicula> alexleon: you cant mount it ro, it will break stuff
[13:16] <lion42> alexleon, http://maketecheasier.com/auto-unlock-keyring-manager-in-ubuntu-intrepid/2009/03/14
[13:16] <acicula> err alex--
[13:16] <lion42> You can do that. It sounds really stupid, but you can do it.
[13:16] <Intel``> hi guys. how can i make curl maintain the session?
[13:16] <alex--> acicula: so i have to add 'tmpfs     /dev/shm     tmpfs     defaults,noexec,nosuid     0     0' ?
[13:17] <AlexDevilLX> df -a -h -T is da best
[13:17] <Intel``> i have this command: curl -Lb cookies.txt 'http://www.url.com/en/folder/?xid=827717&count=99' -o test2.txt
[13:17] <lfender> dose any one know why easytether wont work on ubuntu 11.04
[13:17] <acicula> alex--: i think you should just leave the settings as they are
[13:17] <Intel``> but it seems the session keeps loosing
[13:17] <esp> sorry am back
[13:17] <esp> plsssss send me the .tgz someone
[13:17] <esp> i will be so happy
[13:17] <alexleon> i will try that :)
[13:17] <alex--> acicula: /dev/shm can be used in an attack against a running service, such as httpd. Modify /etc/fstab to make it more secure.
[13:17] <alex--> http://www.andrewault.net/2010/05/17/securing-an-ubuntu-server/
[13:18] <StevenR> alexleon: what's your current setting?
[13:18] <StevenR> bah
[13:18] <acicula> alex--: oh then it must be true
[13:18] <StevenR> alex--: what's your current fstab setting for tmp ?
[13:19] <alex--> StevenR: none
[13:19] <StevenR> alex--: then you don't need to secure it, cos you're not using tmpfs
[13:19] <alex--> what is tmpfs?
[13:19] <rileyp> StevenR natty and irsend not working  not for me not for anyone!
[13:19] <rileyp> my hardware conf is good
[13:20] <alexleon> stevenr my current setting?
[13:20] <rileyp> just never kernel changing he way things roll
[13:20] <StevenR> rileyp: you're going to have to be much more detailed in your explaination of your issue, with pastebins of any log files and config files
[13:20] <StevenR> alexleon: mis-tab, sorry.
[13:20] <alexleon> lol ok
[13:20] <tchnkion> trying to get usb thumbdrive to mount - installed the package usbmount but it's not working, is there something which needs to be changed?
[13:22] <StevenR> villa: what do you mean "when I locate it" ?
[13:22] <KM0201> tchnkion: usually you just plug it in, and it mounts
[13:23] <StevenR> alex--: http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=what+is+tmpfs&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gl=uk
[13:23] <KM0201> what filesystem s it
[13:23] <alex--> StevenR: i dont use google
[13:24] <alex--> StevenR: page is white: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-10552.html
[13:24] <tchnkion> KM0201: it doesn't
[13:24] <Sidewinder1> alex--, You would probably prefer scroogle as opposed to google.
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> Kinda' OT, I know.
[13:25] <KM0201> !pastebin  | tchnkion pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[13:25] <StevenR> alex--: well, ok, use your preferred search engine then :)
[13:26] <AlexDevilLX> halt vs shutdown?
[13:26] <tchnkion> KM0201: http://paste.debian.net/123990/
[13:26] <StevenR> AlexDevilLX: it alot of cases, the outcome is the same.
[13:27] <KM0201> tchnkion: ok, one more thing before we try to do this manually.. in the terminal type "gconf-editor"
[13:27] <KM0201> and hit enter

[13:28] <KM0201> tchnkion: why did you try to dd it?
[13:30] <[snake]> how can I customize fluxbox? I know it has a configfile with all sorts of goodies, but I don't know where it is.
[13:30] <tchnkion> KM0201: dd?
[13:30] <KM0201> tchnkion: whats the filesystem on that drive.
[13:31] <KM0201> tchnkion: what filesystem is it?..
[13:31] <tchnkion> KM0201: according to disk utility it says it's FreeBSD
[13:31] <KM0201> tchnkion: that was kinda my point.. that would probably explain why its not automounting
[13:32] <[snake]> I want to customize the toolbar in fluxbox
[13:32] <tchnkion> KM0201: but it is recognized on opensuse and lm 10.04
[13:32] <KM0201> tchnkion: dunno, something doesn't add up, you cann try manually creating a mount point fo rit.
[13:32] <StevenR> alex--: ok, well, it depends if you have enough RAM to do that, and if doing that is advisible for your usage.
[13:32] <KM0201> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB\
[13:32] <KM0201> woops
[13:32] <KM0201> take off that last \
[13:33] <alex--> StevenR: 24 gb
[13:33] <alex--> is that enough?
[13:33] <StevenR> alex--: impossible to answer.
[13:33] <alex--> why
[13:33] <StevenR> (the second part of my statement is more important)
[13:34] <AlexDevilLX> reboot -h now will that work?
[13:34] <alex--> "if doing that is advisible for your usage", what do you mean with it?
[13:34] <Sidewinder1> [snake], fluxbox configuration file is held at ~/.fluxbox/init.
[13:35] <[snake]> Sidewinder1, thanks!
[13:35] <StevenR> alex--: exactly that. tmpfs may break things if the process (applications) you run expect things in those directories to survive between reboots and similar
[13:35] <Sidewinder1> [snake], Or see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbox if the previous doesn't answer your question. :D
[13:36] <alex--> so it's not a good idea?
[13:36] <[snake]> I will save that link. ;) although your answer was helpful.
[13:36] <StevenR> alex--: it's probably worth looking in the directories to see what's there before doing it.
[13:37] <alex--> ok
[13:37] <Sidewinder1> [snake], Us reptiles gotta' stick together. :-)
[13:37] <llutz> StevenR: if an app depends on files in those dirs surviving a reboot, the app is broken by design
[13:37] <acicula> StevenR: actually /tmp is assumed to be cleaned upon reboot, /var/tmp is for files that need to survive a reboot
[13:38] <acicula> or are expected to survive rather, since it still is a tmp dir
[13:39] <StevenR> llutz: doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
[13:40] <llutz> StevenR: time for a bug-report then :)
[13:41] <jvgeli> has anyone successfully changed cursors in NAtty? This issue has been solved with Maverick but regressed in Natty.
[13:42] <[snake]> Sidewinder1, I'm not sure I get your reference. I'm a reptile??
[13:42] <StevenR> llutz: I've not noticed anything that does it, but it's not a trivial change, so it's well worth see what's using /tmp before enabling it
[13:42] <alex--> what will be the name of ubuntu 11.10
[13:42] <alex--> ?
[13:42] <llutz> !oneiric
[13:42] <alex--> :)
[13:42] <alex--> !12.04

[13:47] <mattgandroid> hey guys, i'm trying to install the nvidia drivers from their website via the recovery console, but it says it doesn't like the kernel.  any help?  don't really want the proprietary driver installed.  running an nvidia gt230m on my laptop.
[13:47] <tchnkion> KM0201: relating to the first question, is there a way to view the contents of the drive?
[13:48] <KM0201> tchnkion: you'd have to mount it first
[13:48] <acicula> mattgandroid: that is the proprietary driver you are installing
[13:48] <KM0201> i would think once its mounted, ubuntu should be able to read it.
[13:48] <acicula> !nvidia
[13:48] <mattgandroid> acicula, are you serious?  it doesn't support antialiasing in EVE Online... :(
[13:48] <ThinkT510> mattgandroid: you don't want it installed but you're trying to install it anyway?
[13:49] <mattgandroid> i did not realize that was the proprietary driver...great...
[13:49] <tchnkion> KM0201: is there a link for mount instructions?
[13:50] <acicula> mattgandroid: you can enable the proprietary driver via the additional drivers tool. which is much better then manually installing drivers from the nvidia website. as for AA support in eve, idunno, have you tried it?
[13:50] <KM0201> tchnkion: i gave it to you a few minutes ago...   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Manually Mounting
[13:50] <ThinkT510> !nouveau | mattgandroid

[13:52] <matt_> nick mattgandroid
[13:52] <mattgandroid> oops
[13:53] <mattgandroid> okay, something froze me up.  so the nvidia website driver is the same one as the restricted driver, correct?
[13:53] <acicula> mattgandroid: more or less yes
[13:53] <root_> helloo
[13:53] <mattgandroid> thanks.  makes me sad, but i guess not much i can do about that.
[13:54] <jvgeli> so, nobody is here
[13:54] <jvgeli> has anyone successfully changed cursors in NAtty? This issue has been solved with Maverick but regressed in Natty.
[13:54] <mattgandroid> what about the experimental 3d driver.  any ideas?
[13:54] <acicula> mattgandroid: why, the nvidia proprietary driver is pretty good
[13:54] <aBs0lut30> hey guys, need some help... Am running 11.04 with all the updates applied, with VMware Workstation 7.1.4, the issue is, when running vmware everything works fine till I power on a VM, when it switches to the video screen for the guest all I get is a box that is transparent to whatever is behind the window, the VM still runs, just cant see it
[13:54] <aBs0lut30> any ideas?

[13:55] <acicula> mattgandroid:you will want to install the proprietary drivers if you want to be able to play eve
[13:55] <mattgandroid> well, EVE Online released their walking in station deal, and it doesn't display correctly.  they say it needs antialliasing, but i am unable to change those settings as i suppose it doesn't include that feature
[13:56] <acicula> mattgandroid: eh maybe have a look on the linux forum thread on the eve-o site?
[13:56] <mattgandroid> haven't found much.  oh well.  thanks for the info acicula
[13:59] <Usr_Smith> Hello there. Wondering how I get around the "Permission Denied" error when moving files from one directory to another. I am trying to copy some fonts I download to the font directory and that's the error message I am getting.
[13:59] <dnivra> Usr_Smith: perhaps try copying as root user?
[14:00] <aBs0lut30> anybody on the VMware Workstation issue?
[14:01] <Sidewinder1> Usr_Smith, Use "sudo" if copying from terminal or "gksudo nautilus" if you wish to copy with that filemanager.
[14:03] <kaellan> emm, i think facebook is monitoring what im reading on internet :S
[14:04] <Oer> kaellan, yes, that is possible.
[14:04] <oscalation> if i wanted to get started with development and bug hunting for ubuntu on a beginner/ entry level,  can someone point me to the correct channel and maybe a link or page to "get started". How to set up a dev machine, what levels of support are available ect ect
[14:05] <kaellan> Oer: im reading on some nato usa critic sites and noticed that wen i opened new pages it loaded some www.facebook.com/l.php? thingy that include webpage that i was on :S

[14:07] <Tracks> Total noob is wondering the correct way to install a tar ball on an ubuntu system.
[14:07] <Tracks> Can anyone help me with this?
[14:07] <kaellan> Oer: ok
[14:07] <ThinkT510> Tracks: what is the tarball?
[14:08] <dnivra> Tracks: there should be a readme/install file inside the archive. did you try extracting it?
[14:08] <Tracks> I don't know how to extract it correctly.
[14:08] <kaellan> Oer: how to delete cookies in cromium?
[14:09] <ThinkT510> Tracks: have you searched the repo for what you are trying to install first?
[14:09] <Tracks> You go to the tool or rwrench in the right top corner laek
[14:09] <Tracks> kaellan,
[14:09] <dnivra> does running inside gdb mean that a core will not be dumped in case of a SIGSEGV? even if ulimit -c is set to unlimited?

[14:15] <HITIN> ubottu: there hash is different
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: different hash means the file is corrupted
[14:15] <ThinkT510> GOMI: flashblock also stops flash ads
[14:15] <Sidewinder1> GOMI, You might check "Adblock Plus" it's an add-on for FF.
[14:16] <HITIN> i tried download it 3rdtime now //
[14:16] <WaltherFI> noscript
[14:16] <HITIN> it game the exact hash like the last time
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: use torrents
[14:16] <HITIN> is there any website i can find and compare my iso?
[14:16] <HITIN> ok!
[14:16] <aquaboy11> i deleted the partition with ubuntu because i didnt need it anymore, then when i started my pc i got something with grub rescue so i installed it again (10.4) and now when i load windows i get 1 flashing stripe and nothing happens
[14:16] <Sidewinder1> GOMI, ^^ Noscript is another great one!

[14:17] <HITIN> id lubuntu better then ubuntu
[14:17] <Usr_Smith> Sidewinder1: I can't seem to get the file manager to run in sudo mode so I can copy the files over.
[14:17] <HITIN> is lubuntu better then ubuntu?!
[14:17] <lion42> HITIN, if you still can't install it NO.
[14:18] <Sidewinder1> Usr_Smith, You should be using gksudo for nautilus; not sudo.
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: better is an opinion, so never concrete
[14:18] <ThinkT510> HITIN: depends on your use case, only you can decide if one is better for you than the other
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: it's like asking "Which is better, red or blue?"
[14:18] <lion42> I think a very practical definition of "better" is "not something which wont work for you"
[14:18] <HITIN> i only want to learn linux the best way, thats it
[14:18] <lion42> which lubuntu happens to be.
[14:19] <Usr_Smith> Aaah, got it to work thank you.
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: then use it, that's the best way
[14:19] <Sidewinder1> NP
[14:19] <aquaboy11> -.- it takes about an hour to imupgrade
[14:19] <Sidewinder1> Usr_Smith, Just be careful...
[14:19] <HITIN> I am a regular window guy , just realized the linux power!!

[14:20] <lion42> YOU GET THE IDEA
[14:20] <lion42> minux the big link.
[14:20] <aquaboy11> is there any way i can delete ubuntu and just start windows?
[14:20] <ThinkT510> HITIN: a good idea to get to grips with linux is installing it in a vm and try whatever you want, learn by trial and error
[14:20] <Cradam> hi can anyone post a link to an IME for japanese?
[14:21] <Sidewinder1> aquaboy11, Simply reinstall Windows.
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> lion42: yeah google likes to do that, annoying
[14:21] <HITIN> thanks ThinkT510!!
[14:21] <Reikoku> I assume he doesn't want to lose the stuff on his Windows, Sidewinder1
[14:21] <Usr_Smith> Sidewinder1: Of course. Seeing how this is day 01. I am thoroughly double checking my movements cause if I get kicked out to the command line I will be totally lost.
[14:22] <Sidewinder1> Reikoku, Yes, you're probably correct; I didn't think of that. :-)
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> lion42: I use duckduckgo and it doesn :)
[14:22] <lion42> ThinkT510, this person has literally spent all night trying to figure out how to use lubuntu. for the sake of -ease-, I am simply recommending they straight up use plain old regular ubuntu off a cd or usb stick.
[14:22] <Reikoku> Usr_Smith: Being kicked out to the command line really isn't the end of the world
[14:22] <aquaboy11> isnt there any other way?
[14:22] <lion42> aquaboy11, hope you made backups?
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: I think lubuntu is great, fewer resources used just to get the OS running, leaves more for your apps :)
[14:23] <Reikoku> aquaboy11: Yes, there is. Boot off a rescue CD, use gparted to delete Linux partitions, set Windows partition bootable, reboot afaik should work
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> aquaboy11: you will need your windows CD and reinstate the windows bootloader
[14:23] <Sidewinder1> Usr_Smith, Yes; doing anything with root privileges can be dangerous.
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> Sidewinder1: no need to reinstall windows
[14:23] <ThinkT510> lion42: with respect, if he doesn't know what he is doing it is better to do it in a vm
[14:23] <Reikoku> You will also want to resize your Windows partition aquaboy11, but I dont know what you use to do that
[14:23] <Reikoku> Alternatively aquaboy11 delete Windows and just use Linux :D
[14:24] <Reikoku> I did that 12 years ago and never looked back
[14:24] <lion42> ThinkT510, but is it of comparable ease to usb? You're free to disagree with me, lol, I'm just going off my own experience
[14:24] <D3814N> Reikoku, good one :)
[14:24] <Usr_Smith> Reikoku: It is when you don't have the commands to navigate your way around. While I was installing this the first I was using a 32bit version, forgetting I needed the 64bit one. Got thrown to the command for some error and I was totally lost.
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Reikoku: nice, I'm 10 years ago :D
[14:24] <Reikoku> Usr_Smith: You should never *need* 64bit
[14:24] <aquaboy11> installing the bootloader from windows doest work then i get unknown filesystem ntfs error
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Reikoku: RAM restrictions may force 64bit
[14:25] <HITIN> can any one tell me what extra apps we get in server edition of ubuntu?
[14:25] <Reikoku> I use 32 bit NetBSD on an i7 6-core machine, Usr_Smith. Unless you have more than 4GB RAM, you never need 64bit
[14:25] <root_> sorry ..how ..if freezee....before make partition
[14:25] <Reikoku> or is it 8Gb

[14:27] <alex--> How to start samba?
[14:27] <aquaboy11> nobody reacts in #ubuntu-nl
[14:27] <lion42> i have 8gb on my laptop with ubuntu 64, just for the sake of having better hardware than I can dream of using.
[14:27] <Reikoku> acicula: Makes sense, so yeah at current time unless you run a render farm you don't need 64bit :P
[14:27] <HITIN> thanks guys, i am downloading using torrent better speed then IE , do we have torrents in linux?
[14:27] <lion42> HITIN, yes.
[14:27] <acicula> Reikoku: well there are other benefits that 64bit brings beyond memory adressing
[14:27] <Reikoku> lion42: I have 24GB on one of my boxes with Gentoo ~amd64
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: Ubuntu in its various flavours comes with a torrent client by default
[14:28] <lion42> Reikoku, i'm laptop only, so that'd be a stretch. :P
[14:28] <Reikoku> lion42: My laptop is i7, 8Gb, Macbook Pro 2010
[14:28] <vlt> acicula: I _think_ some applications like mysql-server _might_ benefit from 64bit.
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> vlt: sql loves 64bit
[14:29] <HITIN> i have got a i3 2.13 Ghz, 4gb ram is it good for ubuntu?
[14:29] <Reikoku> wine doesn't :P
[14:29] <Reikoku> HITIN: Yes
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Reikoku: not had an issue with 64bit + wine here
[14:29] <lion42> HITIN, unless you're planning on editing 200 graphics at once while watching 20 videos and gaming
[14:29] <lion42> you're set. :P
[14:29] <Reikoku> Depending on your graphics card, HITIN, you might not want Unity though
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: I run ubuntu on 1.6Ghz sempron with 2Gb RAM, runs well
[14:30] <Reikoku> I love unity :/ It's about the only reason I'd install Ubuntu these days :P
[14:30] <lion42> ugh.
[14:30] <lion42> I tried unity twice. Can't stomach it.
[14:30] <lion42> TOO WEIRD.
[14:30] <HITIN> i have got a intel HD graphics . it takes up around 1.5 gb ram
[14:30] <GOMI> but what videocard works good with linux ?
[14:30] <Reikoku> I really want a port of it on NetBSD lol
[14:30] <Reikoku> GOMI: Any ATI
[14:30] <lion42> HITIN, seriously, way more than enough
[14:30] <Reikoku> Especially new ATI
[14:30] <Reikoku> Linux performance with my ATI Radeon HD5870s is nice
[14:31] <HITIN> its a shared graphic card , does that count?
[14:31] <GOMI> okey thnx
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: nvidia have supported Linux as long as I can remember
[14:31] <lion42> HITIN, that's totally normal in laptops and it'll work fine
[14:31] <Sidewinder1> HITIN, In addition to Transmission, the default torrent client with ubuntu, you might want to check out Vuze/Azureus. It's much "heavier" but has many configuration options.
[14:32] <HITIN> i am using utorrent to download this iso, once i have got ubuntu installed i will try vuze.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: there is utorrent for linux
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> HITIN: its only usable by web UI currently
[14:32] <lion42> HITIN, make sure to play around with the livecd or usb stick before you install it.
[14:32] <zorklat> I'd like to run xset as part of the login or X startup sequence, how do I do this?
[14:33] <lion42> Make sure everything you want to work, like your wireless card, works, or research how to fix the problem and know how to do it before you actually install
[14:33] <GOMI> ActionParsnip,  i got a nvidia but if i read forums alot of ppl have problems with it , my screen flickers sometimes -_-)
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: press SuperL and type:  start   add the command in the startup items
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: you'll get that if you ask anything dude. Personally it's all I buy
[14:33] <HITIN> can you suggest me any torrent where i can download some good book for dummy ?
[14:33] <ThinkT510> GOMI: what nvidia?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> !manual | HITIN
[14:35] <GOMI> ThinkT510,  g86 [geforce 8500 gt]
[14:35] <Sidewinder1> GOMI, Nvidia here too; never had a problem with them.
[14:36] <Sidewinder1> GOMI, Currently 3dforce 6200 Xe
[14:36] <ThinkT510> GOMI: i got nvs 3100, works a charm
[14:36] <starrookie> Howdy - need help with a package install....I  am running 10.04 LTS and trying to add the 'patch' package. Getting an error msg all times, that I should insert the CD-Rom into the drive....but I never installed from a CD, using netowrk only. Any idea how to fix?
[14:36] <root_> where can i get ubuntu installer to my notebook...atom450...anybody?
[14:37] <Dmole> starrookie	: remove the CD as an option from software sources
[14:37] <ThinkT510> root_: trying to install ubuntu? try a livecd or liveusb
[14:37] <Sidewinder1> starrookie, In Synaptic, look in "sources" and uncheck CD.
[14:37] <GOMI> good to hear, well i could be something else that makes the problems ^_^!)
[14:38] <Dmole> ThinkT510: usb is faster, do that
[14:38] <vlt> starrookie: Or (maybe faster) remove the "cdrom" line from /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:38] <starrookie> Sidewinder1: oops, who put it there? Other packages used to install fine
[14:38] <Sidewinder1> starrookie, Not me. :-)
[14:39] <root_> i used live cd @  grafik 1280x1024 every thing cant boot
[14:39] <starrookie> Sidewinder1: But you knew the solution - you must be the guy who has broken it.
[14:39]  * Sidewinder1 Hides in the corner.
[14:40] <starrookie> Sidewinder1: vlt: yeap - that's it! Thanks...
[14:40] <Sidewinder1> NP
[14:40]  * starrookie replaces Sidewinder1 in the corner ashamed of not finding it himself...
[14:41] <Dmole> root_	: any error messages?
[14:41] <root_> thinkt510  ; can u send me liveusb installer
[14:41] <cypha> how can I replace all instances of "abc" with "xyz", within a directory's files (and within its subdirectories)
[14:41] <ThinkT510> !usb | root_
[14:42] <root_> thinkt510  : tq
[14:42] <RaunoV> Hi
[14:42] <Sidewinder1> vlt, Not to knit-pick but wouldn't it be "better" to comment it out with # rather than removing the line?
[14:42] <Dmole> cypha:you would need to write a small bash script
[14:42] <ThinkT510> root_: np
[14:43] <llutz> cypha: combine find + sed
[14:43] <starrookie> cypha: find . -name "*abc*" -xargs -n 1 bash -c "<something with a sed program>"
[14:43] <RaunoV> Problem: ofter my ubuntu box just disappears from network. If i press ENTER on ubuntu box, it right-a-way back
[14:43] <RaunoV> often*
[14:44] <ThinkT510> RaunoV: is it going idle or showing the screensaver?
[14:44] <RaunoV> don't have gui, using for homeserver
[14:44] <llutz> starrookie: xargs isn't a find-option, its a program on its own
[14:44] <cypha> i'm not sure what you mean llutz and starrookie
[14:44] <Sidewinder1> RaunoV, Perhaps a suspend/hibernate issue?
[14:45] <root_> thinkt510  : how can i format usb
[14:45] <RaunoV> well when i attached monitor, screen was black (but monitor wasn't in stand-by)
[14:45] <llutz> cypha: find /path/ -type f |xargs sed -i 's/abc/xyz'                                 something like this
[14:45] <root_> thinkt510  : no icon said 'format'
[14:45] <Dmole> cypha: this is how I would do it: "find . -name *abc* | perl -p -e 's/^(.*)(abc)(.*)$/mv "$1$2$3" "$1xyz$3";/g'|bash "
[14:45] <RaunoV> Is there a way i can check suspend/hibernate ? I have a feeling it happens more often when torrent is running there..
[14:46] <ThinkT510> root_: there should be instuctions in the link ubottu gave you
[14:46] <cypha> wow Dmole, that looks intense
[14:46] <root_> thinkt510  : ok
[14:47] <Dmole> cypha: perl regex is my hammer, everything is a nail.
[14:47] <Sidewinder1> RaunoV, Look under System---> Preferences---> Power Management.
[14:47] <RaunoV> No gui, only commandline
[14:47] <cypha> lol
[14:48] <llutz> cypha: wait, you want to replace abc by xyz inside files or in filenames?
[14:48] <cypha> files
[14:48] <vlt> Sidewinder1: Only if you ever again want to install something from cdrom (which I highly doubt).
[14:48] <llutz> then forget Dmole's attempt
[14:48] <Dmole> cypha: yah mine was for file names
[14:49] <Kre10s_> when ubuntu boots it shows the ubuntu version ands 4 dots that change color as it loads... how is this changed?
[14:49] <llutz> Dmole: ".... |xargs rename 's/abc/xyz/' " would have been easier ;)
[14:49] <Sidewinder1> vlt, It was just a thought...
[14:49] <Dmole> llutz: yah but then I don't get to use my hammer
[14:50] <Axz> Guys is there APP for Chrome?
[14:50] <cypha> Dmole, so how would you hammer the replacement of file contents?
[14:50] <ThinkT510> Kre10s_: you can change the boot options
[14:51] <ThinkT510> !boot | Kre10s_
[14:52] <ThinkT510> Axz: what do you mean? you want the chrome browser? there is chromium in the repos
[14:52] <JasFasolka> Hello. I've installed XMMS2, but I can't find anywhere in my panel ... where is it?
[14:52] <ThinkT510> !find chromium | Axz
[14:52] <syslq> ThinkT510: you can download google chrome deb
[14:52] <Dmole> cypha: the perl bit is the same only I would use grep and cat
[14:53] <RaunoV> I'll ask again, maybe someone can now help me :) Problem: often my ubuntu box just disappears from network. If i press ENTER on ubuntu box, it right-a-way back More: no gui
[14:53] <cypha> ok, too confusing
[14:53] <Axz> ThinkT510, whats different between Chromium and Chrome?
[14:54] <Dmole> cypha: you could loop over the files(>1 line) or nest the pipe (ugly)
[14:54] <llutz> cypha: find /path/ -type f |xargs sed -i 's/abc/xyz/'
[14:54] <ThinkT510> Axz: it's better to ask wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)
[14:54] <happo> hello!
[14:55] <JasFasolka> Hello. I've installed XMMS2, but I can't find it anywhere in my panel ... where is it? How to open it?
[14:55] <happo> don't know
[14:55] <llutz> cypha: but that will replace ALL abc into xyz in all files inside path/* , so make sure you really want that...
[14:55] <lonix> Hi, if my mounted directory exist but is offline, i cant list directory and my session freeze, is there a safe way to check if the mounted dir is avalibe
[14:55] <lonix> ?
[14:56] <cypha> llutz, yup
[14:56] <lonix> im talking cifs/smb btw
[14:56] <cypha> do I need a g at the end to make it do it globally, and not just the first instance on each line?
[14:56] <llutz> yes
[14:57] <andyli> hi
[14:57] <cypha> cool, that's perfect, thanks llutz

[14:59] <JasFasolka> Hello. I've installed XMMS2, but I can't find it anywhere in my panel ... where is it? How to open it?
[14:59] <tomodachi> JasFasolka: maybe it doesent have a launcher icon? Its a reeealy old app :)
[15:00] <JasFasolka> :'(
[15:00] <tomodachi> JasFasolka: i really recomend using something newwer, like  banshee
[15:00] <tomodachi> JasFasolka: have you tryed launching it from the terminal?
[15:00] <JasFasolka> would like some winamp-like player, banshee is way too complex for my needs
[15:00] <tomodachi> JasFasolka: yeah. but i thin banshee has this mini-mode. Then it looks just like one of the old players
[15:01] <JasFasolka> kinda, but it still way too complex. adding music was a nightmare for me.
[15:01] <Sidewinder1> !player | JasFasolka
[15:02] <ionite> when i install from USB. my screen just freezes at booting up. nothing happens. what should i do to install natty?
[15:02] <ThinkT510> JasFasolka: i can reccomend audacious
[15:02] <JasFasolka> basically audacious would be ok, but it goes super slow when i move it
[15:02] <tomodachi> JasFasolka: try xmms (press tab) in terminal to see if you can launch it from there
[15:03] <JasFasolka> nah, whatever wit that xmms, i wanted something i can start right from the desktop
[15:03] <ionite> when i install from USB. my screen just freezes at booting up. nothing happens. what should i do to install natty?
[15:04] <JasFasolka> well, nevermind, will stick wit audacious then.
[15:04] <tomodachi> ionite: remove quite splash from the boot line in grub. maybe then you can see an error message that you can google
[15:04] <tomodachi> JasFasolka: well if it exists then you can just make a shortcut
[15:05] <tomodachi> JasFasolka: first you have to find out what the applications name is and where it is. Then you can make a shortcut to it from your desktop
[15:05] <bdi> hello. i had my laptop with me on holiday. i did not really use it. weather was quite moist. since i did not use it i first found out when i came home that it is completely unresponsive when i try to turn it on. it even does not light the "charging" diode when plugging in the power. Does anybody in here have an idea as to how to figure out what might be wrong with my laptop?
[15:05] <JasFasolka> so how do i make that again?
[15:06] <tomodachi> bdi: this is not a question regarding ubuntu im afraid
[15:06] <RaunoV> I'll ask again, maybe someone can now help me :) Problem: often my ubuntu box just disappears from network. If i press ENTER on ubuntu box, it right-a-way back More: no gui
[15:06] <fsdfsdfsdggf> Hello there, i ve a problem with my hard disc so that i installed ubuntu to an usb stick. I mean i really installed it like partitioning it with a swap and a root dir an so on. But my laptop is a mac, the problem is that im not able to boot usb with efi. It is descriped how to trick efi with grup2efi but this only descripes how you do that with an iso file containing a live system - not an fully installed ubuntu. therefore
[15:06] <fsdfsdfsdggf> i want to know if there is a chance to make my usb linux boot merging it with the grub2efi or something like that
[15:06] <tomodachi> fsdfsdfsdggf: keep the talk low please. To much to read. What maxcbook do you have+
[15:07] <fsdfsdfsdggf> 2 revisions before the current release
[15:07] <ionite> i had alot of problems trying to install from my SD card
[15:07] <ionite> what do u mean remove splash?

[15:08] <mongy> I made a swap partition of 4096mb so I can hibernate as I have 4gb ram, but in sys monitor its saying 3.8gb swap...what size should I have used in partitioning screen?
[15:08] <tomodachi> ionite: also read the guidlines in topic!
[15:08] <Sidewinder1> bdi, You may want to ask in #hardware
[15:08] <ionite> what does vesamenu32: nNot a com32R image means?
[15:09] <aquaboy11> hi what was the bootfix command again? fixboot? (in cmd )
[15:09] <Sidewinder1> Mony, I believe that the recommended size of swap is 1.5 times RAM.
[15:10] <ionite> tomodachi: i cant even reach the boot in screen
[15:10] <tomodachi> Sidewinder1: mongy no not anymore. The amount of ram is enough. Maybe in the old days you had more swap
[15:10] <Sidewinder1> aquaboy11, fixmbr, I believe.
[15:10] <tomodachi> ionite: what macbook do you have?
[15:10] <mongy> I need it for hibernate.....
[15:10] <ionite> i'm using windows XP pro
[15:10] <ionite> and i kept receving this error:
[15:10] <aquaboy11> fixmbr is an unknown command
[15:10] <ionite> vesamenu32: nNot a com32R image
[15:10] <zykotick9> aquaboy11, are you asking about windows?

[15:11] <aquaboy11> yes

[15:11] <tomodachi> aquaboy11: this is an ubuntu forum not windows but i believe its fdisk /fixmbr

[15:14] <Reikoku> I use rEFIt with efi :P
[15:16] <fsdfsdfsdggf> Reikoku: does that help boot usb devices?
[15:16] <mongy> Sidewinder1, got it.... need to make 4294mb to have sys monitor say 4.0gb :)   its the way linux uses mb/gb that I cant get my head around
[15:17] <alex--> mongy: i had the same problem, linux says i have 3,9 gb ram
[15:17] <ionite> why does my screen freeze @ ubuntu USB boot up?
[15:17] <Reikoku> fsdfsdfsdggf: I dont know, I can boot USB natively
[15:17] <JasFasolka> When uninstalling XMMS2 terminal gave me: "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" and some packages. Some of them doesn't really look XMMS connected, but I'm noob - I don't know - can I safely remove them?
[15:17] <alex--> ionite: depends on which step you are in the booting process
[15:17] <fsdfsdfsdggf> Reikoku: who did you do that?
[15:17] <fsdfsdfsdggf> how
[15:17] <Reikoku> fsdfsdfsdggf: I have a mac
[15:17] <mongy> alex--, the partitioning screen doesnt help,  it says I made a 4.0gb partition when it was really 3.8 ugh
[15:18] <Reikoku> I just hit ctrl-u on boot up
[15:18] <Reikoku> umm
[15:18] <Reikoku> option-u*
[15:18] <ionite> alex: i choose USB-HDD.  The screen freezed at vesamenu32: Not a com32r image
[15:18] <oCean> JasFasolka: it also says "use apt-get autoremove to remove them" right?
[15:18] <JasFasolka> right
[15:18] <zongo> Greetings Guys, What are my option in order to have a virtual keyboard on a tablet PC when my user gets locked out ?
[15:18] <zongo> I have Ubuntu 11.04
[15:19] <oCean> JasFasolka: yes, that's the apt system that determined that some packages, once installed, are no longer necessary. Run "sudo apt-get autoremove" (no quotes)
[15:19] <fsdfsdfsdggf> Reikoku: sure option - u on startup?
[15:19] <fsdfsdfsdggf> never read that before
[15:19] <Reikoku> fsdfsdfsdggf: Works For Me(tm) :(
[15:19] <Usr_Smith> How do I figure out if I already have a registered name on this server if I have forgotten it?
[15:19] <fsdfsdfsdggf> Reikoku: so ill try that :D
[15:20] <ionite> what does vesamenu32: not a com32R image means?
[15:20] <ThinkT510> Usr_Smith: best ask in #freenode
[15:20] <JasFasolka> can i use that command anytime? meanwhile i used apt-get update & uninstalled some of these packages in synaptic ...
[15:20] <alex--> On the most games there is written: Windows XP or better. Althrough Ubuntu is better than windows xp, some things aren't working :P
[15:21] <nunoelectric> ubuntu >>> other OSs
[15:21] <zongo> I have a virtual  keyboard when I am logged in or when I logged in from a cold boot but no access to keyboard when screen is locked. Any idea ?
[15:21] <alex--> ?
[15:22] <oCean> JasFasolka: it's not really a problem when you use both commandline (apt, aptitude) and graphical (synaptic). But I recommend to stick to one method. And yes, you can run an apt-get autoremove any time.
[15:22] <oCean> alex--: please ask real questions
[15:22] <JasFasolka> ok, guess i will continue uninstalling em in synaptic

[15:46] <mac__> can someone help me with ubuntu boot problem on new intel hardware?
[15:46] <nemo> just making sure
[15:46] <nemo> want to avoid 11.04 if at all possible
[15:46] <Polah> nemo: It'll upgrade to 10.10.
[15:46] <tiago> nemo: in 11.04 you can still use classic mode
[15:47] <nemo> tiago: I know
[15:47] <nemo> tiago: I have 11.04 on a couple of machines
[15:47] <nemo> tiago: but it effs up more than a few things
[15:47] <przemek_> Hi. I trying to configure postfix to work i Maildir but after I set home_mailbox=Maildir no mail shows up in queue and in user dir is created file Maildir instead of a dir
[15:47] <nemo> tiago: like classic mode still calls that stupid unity window manager from compiz
[15:47] <nemo> tiago: I don't feel like unbreaking the various things it broke on other machines
[15:47] <Polah> nemo: Ubuntu only upgrades to the next available version (or next LTS if you have an LTS release), so if you're on say, 9.10 and wanted to get to 10.10, you'd need to upgrade twice.
[15:47] <Usr_Smith> So have any of you successfully ran Rift??
[15:47] <nemo> 10.10 works well. want to stay with it on as many machines as possible
[15:47] <nemo> Polah: cool. thanks.
[15:48] <Polah> nemo: We could always help you with the things that you claim it breaks.
[15:48] <nemo> Polah: oh, I fixed 'em myself.  They are just irritating is all
[15:48] <kirior_> hi all, i was wandering if i would like to install java and java sdk and eclipse and some tool to help me learn on ubuntu what would be the best way?
[15:48] <nemo> in general, find 11.04 to be buggy and unpolished.
[15:48] <nemo> 'sok
[15:49] <nemo> thanks though!
[15:51] <rizzuh_laptop> Several minutes after I log in I am asked to unlock the default keyring. Why? What does it store and why isn't it unlocked automatically? Wireless network is set for all users, automatic login is off.
[15:51] <ionite> i'm using windows XP and when i double click on Md5sum.exe it doesn't come out anything @ all?
[15:52] <Oxymoron> Which group is apache2 using to read files on webserver?
[15:52] <Oxymoron> www-data?
[15:52] <acicula> ionite: its not a gui application, you'll need to use it from a text console
[15:52] <mac__> does anyone know why it takes several reboots on 11.04 with intel hd300 graphics to get ubuntu loaded?
[15:52] <ionite> i tried command prompt nothing happens.
[15:52] <edbian> mac__: On the boots it doesn't work.  What happens?
[15:52] <warbreed> i nhave the sam eprob w the hd300
[15:53] <mac__> edbian: striped black white screen several times
[15:53] <Polah> Oxymoron: www-data is the user for the Apache daemon.
[15:53] <warbreed> yrp per
[15:53] <edbian> mac__: The driver for the graphics card (or the graphics card itself) is bad.
[15:54] <ionite> what is the purpose of md5sum?
[15:54] <Sidewinder1> rizzuh_laptop, Perhaps your answer can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036564&highlight=unlock+keyring
[15:54] <rocket16> Hello guys
[15:54] <mac__> edbian: i'm up to date on updates, on mint happens too.  Fedora no
[15:54] <Polah> ionite: Produces a hash based on the data of a file. It can be used to verify the integrity of a file; a file with different contents will have a different hash (almost all of the time)
[15:54] <edbian> mac__: what driver is fedora using?  Use the same one
[15:54] <BluesKaj> ionite read the post above
[15:55] <mac__> edbian:  just using drivers preconfigured
[15:55] <rocket16> Totem fails to properly play VCDs. I selected "Play VCD" from Totem, and it plays it well, but the slider for forwarding and such remains inactive, and it's streaming from the VCD. So, is there any workout?
[15:55] <ionite> what if the results of the md5sum shows that my ISo have a prob. do i have to re d/l the file again?
[15:55] <WHAT_UP> ionite: yes
[15:55] <BluesKaj> ionite, yes
[15:55] <BluesKaj> ionite,http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[15:55] <Oxymoron> Polah: I am trying to make some files readable, as it say permission denied ... I changed group to www-data on my files, and make it readable for group ... what more todo? Still do not work?
[15:56] <WHAT_UP> ionite: i'd recommend downloading it using some bittorrent client, since it md5checks small parts so in the worst case you'll be redownloading tiny chunks
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> ionite, Yes
[15:56] <Polah> ionite: It won't "show you have a problem". The hash'll be different from what it should be if the ISO you have is incomplete or corrupt.
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> BluesKaj, Baet me.
[15:56] <mac__> edbian: how to I update the graphics driver hd3000?
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> Beat, even.
[15:56] <edbian> mac__: figure out what they are.  I don't know what drivers fedora uses by default.
[15:56] <ionite> so what should i do? D/L the file using the bit torrent?
[15:57] <Sidewinder1> ionite, Yes
[15:57] <rizzuh_laptop> Sidewinder1, well I nuked all keyrings, will restart, see what happens. Keyring password did match with user password :/
[15:57] <edbian> mac__: I'm not sure it needs an update.  It might need a downgrade for the moment.
[15:57]  * BluesKaj wonders if he entered some kind of contest here :)
[15:57] <ionite> md5sum takes a long time to check the ISO file?
[15:57] <edbian> ionite: takes about 1 second
[15:58] <Polah> Oxymoron: Chown the files to www-data or set public permissions to 764 so they're publically readable
[15:58] <Polah> ionite: edbian: Would depend on the size of the file
[15:58] <ionite> md5sum just freezed on me.
[15:58] <tucemiux> my MBR is borked big time! I installed an OS with grub legacy but refused to boot, I then reinstalled grub2 but grub2 only goes to a dark screen??
[15:58] <edbian> Polah: ionite true
[15:59] <Oxymoron> Polah: I have chowned them all.
[15:59] <edbian> tucemiux: press shift during boot.  Do you get the grub menu?
[15:59] <tucemiux> edbian: nothing, it just boots up to a black screen
[15:59] <Polah> oxymoron: So www-data is the owner? Are the owner permissions set to 4, 6 or 7?
[15:59] <edbian> tucemiux: pressing shift doesn't work?
[16:00] <Oxymoron> Polah: No, the www-data is gorup, I am the owner
[16:00] <Sidewinder1> ionite, The following site has tons of info foe new ubuntu users: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
[16:00] <Sidewinder1> for, even.
[16:00] <Polah> oxymoron: is the group permission readable, X4X rather than X0X
[16:01] <tucemiux> edbian: I see a message saying "grub loading" and then a black screen
[16:01] <ionite> sidewinder: i tried that web already but i still cant boot from my SD card and i keep getting errors on vesamenu32: not com32r image
[16:01] <DarsVaeda> hi, I have formatted my usb-flash-drive with 2 partitions with fat 32, one of it being crypted, now I had to put that into a win7 pc who said it has to do a check of the drive, it did and did whatever the hell and now ubuntu 11.04 shows the crypted partition as unrecognized -.- any way to recover it?
[16:01] <edbian> tucemiux: a-ha.  Can you boot a liveCD?  (I'm just going to re-install grub)
[16:01] <tucemiux> edbian: yeah, i have the live CD on my laptop, ill boot it up right now to a live CD
[16:02] <Oxymoron> Polah: I set group permission to readable and modifyable
[16:02] <edbian> tucemiux: the laptop is the target machine?  You (obviously) are talking to me on a different machine.  Which is that?
[16:03] <tucemiux> edbian: the problem is on my laptop, im chattin on my desktop
[16:03] <edbian> tucemiux: ok
[16:03] <Polah> Oxymoron: Are you sure www-data is in the www-data group? It could've been changed at some point.
[16:04] <tucemiux> DarsVaeda: try some recovery tools, it might work, i know i've recovered partitions that i've erased
[16:04] <ionite> why is installing natty so painful.  i still cant get it working.
[16:04] <DarsVaeda> its not erased, windows just fucked something up
[16:05] <oCean> DarsVaeda: control your language here, please
[16:05] <tucemiux> ionite: what part you cant get to work? o.O
[16:05] <ionite> vesamenu32: not a com32r image
[16:05] <Oxymoron> Polah: How do you mean?
[16:05] <Oxymoron> user ww-data in group www-data?
[16:06] <ionite> USB boot up and screen frozed at syslinux 3.83. md5sum can't run a check on my ISO file. it's so frustrating restarting my comp so many times.
[16:06] <Polah> Oxymoron: I believe the www-data user is put into the www-data group, but you could have changed it along the line somewhere.
[16:06] <Mike_lb> Hi, I installed Lubuntu and selected the option to encrypt /home. As I understand, my /home is now encrypted with ecryptfs. So I booted from a live cd and tried to look at my /home but it's empty, how can I see my /home from the live cd?
[16:06] <Oxymoron> Polah: No I have not
[16:07] <Darwich> Hello people! :) .. anyone else here having issue with ubuntu and Ati 5650m ? :) .. im running 11.04, it worked fine with 10.10
[16:08] <usr_mas> Okay, it seems that I disabled the unity plugin' utilizing compiz and now I task no system bar or launcher bar. How do I enable KDE desktop?
[16:09] <BluesKaj> usr_mas, did you install kubuntu-desktop?
[16:09] <Dmole> Mike_lb: there is a readme in ~/ for you
[16:09] <usr_mas> blueskaj: Unless it was already pre-installed I have not.
[16:10] <ionite> USB boot up and screen frozed at syslinux 3.83. md5sum can't run a check on my ISO file. it's so frustrating restarting my comp so many times.
[16:10] <BluesKaj> usr_mas, it's not preinstalled
[16:11] <BluesKaj> !kubuntu | usr_mas
[16:11] <Mike_lb> Dmole: let's see..
[16:11] <usr_mas> BluesKaj, fair enough. Since I don't have a test bar I can probably create a launcher on the desktop to the software center. What is the file name of the software center?
[16:12] <BluesKaj> usr_mas, just open a terminal , sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[16:12] <Dmole> ionite: try a few diffrent versions/distrobutions, you might be missing a driver (like scsi is no longer included)
[16:12] <bastidrazor> usr_mas: software-center
[16:12] <usr_mas> BluesKaj, is there a keyboard shortcut to do that?
[16:12] <usr_mas> bastidrazor, Thank you.
[16:13] <Darwich> foad@darwich:~$ atiode -P60 -H localhost:0; echo $?
[16:13] <Darwich> 2
[16:13] <Darwich>   - Why does it say that? running 11.04 with ati driver!
[16:13] <ionite> dmole: how do i try other versions/distros ?
[16:14] <Dmole> ionite: download liveCD/USB image boot from it
[16:14] <Sidewinder1> ionite, You might wish to try Lucid Lynx, 10.04.
[16:14] <Sidewinder1> ionite, It's LTS.
[16:15] <ionite> what's the difference from ubuntu?
[16:15] <Dmole> it is ubuntu just "long term support"
[16:15] <Sidewinder1> ionite, None, it is ubuntu
[16:15] <Mike_lb> Dmole: if I boot my installed system, I can see .private et all, but from the live cd not
[16:15] <Sidewinder1> !lts | ionite
[16:16] <ionite> long term support why should i choose it? 3 years meaning?
[16:16] <edbian> ionite: regular releases don't have support as long.  You have to upgrade more often.  Because of this LTSs are older and more stable
[16:17] <edbian> ionite: The software in an LTS has a longer time to find and fix bugs
[16:17] <Sidewinder1> ionite, Did you get a chance to peruse the link that I gave you earlier? It'll answer many questions...http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
[16:17] <Dmole> Mike_lb: when I login to my box I have this: cat ~/README.txt # bla bla bla From the command line, run: ecryptfs-mount-private
[16:18] <ionite> so if i were to use natty means it's not so stable and how often do i have upgrade?
[16:18] <rocket16> Any decent application for playing VCDs and DVDs flawlessly? VLC doesn't play VCDs well for me. :(
[16:18] <usr_mas> edbian: I am finding 11.04 a little harder to navigate, me being a new user to linux is it possible to downgrade to 10.04 without deleting everything??
[16:18] <Sidewinder1> I give up...
[16:18] <edbian> usr_mas: have you tried ubuntu classic?
[16:18] <usr_mas> edbian, What is that exactly??
[16:19] <edbian> usr_mas: You'll get the interface of 10.04 (why you skipped 10.10 IDK) without having to reinstall.
[16:19] <Darwich> edbian, try to google just a LITTLE bit ..
[16:19] <bastidrazor> rocket16: mplayer
[16:19] <usr_mas> Ooooh. I know. I just have to figure out to change the it to that
[16:19] <edbian> usr_mas: log out, click your name, change the session to classic, log in
[16:19] <Dmole> rocket16: I also use mplayer sometimes but what's wrong with VLC? maybe your missing a codec?
[16:19] <edbian> Darwich: pardon?
[16:19] <jimmie> usr: on the login screen at the bottom, you can choose to use classic
[16:19] <Mike_lb> Dmole: me too, but if I boot from a live cd and try to look at that encrypted /home , there are no files inside
[16:20] <usr_mas> edbian. Thank you.
[16:20] <usr_mas> jimmie, I will check that out
[16:20] <edbian> usr_mas: sure
[16:20] <rocket16> Thanks bastidrazor. I tried it, but it too doesn't play my VCDs well. :(
[16:20] <usr_mas> Soon as I can get my interface back upp.
[16:20] <edbian> usr_mas: what?  Your gui is down?
[16:20] <rocket16> Dmole: Well, I think all the codecs are installed. But is there specifically any coded for DVDs and VCDs?
[16:20] <bastidrazor> rocket16: if mplayer or vlc don't work.. possibly there are issues with the VCD's ?
[16:20] <Dmole> Mike_lb: maybe the files are put there in an odd way, did the command work though?
[16:21] <Darwich>   - Why does it say that? running 11.04 with ati driver!
[16:21] <Darwich> Hello people! :) .. anyone else here having issue with ubuntu and Ati 5650m ? :) .. im running 11.04, it worked fine with 10.10
[16:21] <rocket16> * codec
[16:21] <Mike_lb> Dmole: yes it did
[16:21] <edbian> Darwich: which driver are you using?
[16:21] <rocket16> bastidrazor: Actually, it plays well on my VCD device and also on Windows Media player. :(
[16:21] <Dmole> rocket16:check your vlc log/error console
[16:22] <rocket16> bastidrazor: I am installed SMplayer, lemme see if it helps. I also tried gnome-mplayer but it didn't help either.
[16:22] <Darwich> edbian, Atis driver .. fgl_glxgears is laggin also and moving windows is slow as ....
[16:22] <claudia> hi all, please help me enable wireless on my laptop :( the enable wireless option is grayed out so I can't enable it
[16:22] <Dmole> Darwich: what is the problem are you able to get logs of it?
[16:23] <bastidrazor> rocket16: ubuntu-restriced-extras for most codecs and..
[16:23] <edbian> claudia: I'm here.
[16:23] <bastidrazor> ubottu: tell rocket16 about medibuntu
[16:23] <edbian> claudia: What card do you have?  (I'm pretty good with wifi cards)
[16:23] <claudia> when I click on the network icon, it says Wireless Networks device not managed
[16:23] <Darwich> Dmole, the problem is that everything lags and apperntly 3D acceleration is not working .. i dont know how to log it ..
[16:23] <claudia> oh thanks ebdian
[16:23] <claudia> I believe it uses a broadcom chipset for what I saw
[16:23] <Dmole> Darwich: you need a video driver
[16:23] <bastidrazor> rocket16: there are some additional things in medibuntu that might help.
[16:24] <usr_mas> edbian, Yes. I install compiz, disabled unity plugin and now my launcher and system bar are missing.
[16:24] <Darwich> Dmole, i have a video driver .. that's whats bothering me
[16:24] <usr_mas> edbian, Basically I have just a desktop
[16:24] <edbian> usr_mas: Ha, you need those :)
[16:24] <edbian> usr_mas: try ubuntu classic :)
[16:24] <Dmole> Darwich: try a diffrent one
[16:24] <dr_willis> unity is the launcher and system menyu bar
[16:24] <edbian> claudia: typo on my name so I missed it :)
[16:24] <Darwich> Dmole, like which one ?
[16:24] <edbian> claudia: PM me ?
[16:24] <Darwich> foad@darwich:~$ atiode -P60 -H localhost:0; echo $?
[16:24] <Darwich> 2
[16:24] <rocket16> Dmole: bastidrazor: Oh! I got it! Smplayer works. :) Many thanks nonetheless, guys
[16:24] <claudia> sure edbian :)
[16:25] <bastidrazor> rocket16: good deal. you're welcome.
[16:25] <usr_mas> Soon as Kubuntu installs I will be making that switch.
[16:25] <Dmole> rocket16: was the problem with the other players choppyness or something else?
[16:25] <jimmie> Hey chaps, is there any reason I wouldnt be allowed to mark packages for complete removal in SPM?
[16:25] <rocket16> Dmole: No, actually they couldn't open it. Gnome-mplayer could only open the first track and then crashed.
[16:26] <dr_willis> smplayer and gnome mplayer are both front ends to mplayer i think. so thats. weird
[16:27] <edbian> jimmie: what happens when you try? (you're maybe not running synaptic as root)
[16:27] <jimmie> Edbian: it just isnt an option that I can select
[16:27] <Dmole> rocket16: that is so weird VLC is the most consistently functional player, if they crashed there is probably a log of it in /var/log/messages maybe they were using the wrong video output~
[16:28] <edbian> jimmie: wow.  IDK
[16:28] <edbian> jimmie: ha
[16:28] <jimmie> Heh.
[16:29] <Dmole> Darwich: did you look in  restricted drivers ?
[16:30] <fw98> ciao a tutti
[16:30] <fw98> cè qualcuno online al quale posso chiedere una cosa?
[16:31] <yeats> !it | fw98
[16:31] <rocket16> Dmole: I tried it again, and Totem seems to play the VCD well. But it only streams from it, and I can't use the slider to forward/backward the movie. Seems I should stick to SMplayer as it does everything correctly
[16:31] <fw98> avrei una domanda da fare qualcuno di voi sa come posso startare in una consol vnc ad esempio gdm o kdm?
[16:32] <shushek> how can i start learning Qt in ubuntu?
[16:32] <induz> why moonlight is not working on Firfox
[16:33] <Abhijit> shushek, install qt creator, assistant, designer
[16:33] <Abhijit> shushek, and here is documentation http://qt.nokia.com/
[16:33] <dr_willis> induz:  on what site?
[16:33] <induz> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/microsoft-deployment-toolkit-building-install-media-for-windows-7.aspx
[16:33] <Dmole> rocket16: I tend to uninstall Totem and install VLC and mplayer because I never have problems with them but use whatever works for you :)
[16:34] <rocket16> Dmole: Indeed. Thanks. :)
[16:38] <Targeter> so how is natty
[16:38] <dr_willis> its very natty.
[16:38] <jimmie> :/
[16:43] <usr_mas> is there a keybord shortcut to log off my user profile
[16:44] <Abhijit> usr_mas, i use gnome do.
[16:44] <usr_mas> abhijit, Unfortunately my desktop manager crashed on my and I have no launcher. I want to avoid a full restart.
[16:45] <Abhijit> usr_mas, can you go to ctrl alt f1
[16:45] <Abhijit> user, you can come back by ctrl alt f7/8
[16:45] <usr_mas> '
[16:45] <usr_mas> Yes I can actually
[16:45] <dr_willis> console and 'sudo service gdm restart' is one way  to force X to restart
[16:46] <Abhijit> usr_mas, try that ^^
[16:46] <dr_willis> or if alt-f2 works, you can do it from a terminal
[16:46] <usr_mas> dr_willis, What does the gdm stand for?
[16:46] <dr_willis> gdm i the login manager
[16:47] <dr_willis> its the service that handles X logins
[16:47] <dr_willis> kde uses kdm, lubuntu uses lxdm, the next release is using lightdm
[16:47] <usr_mas> what terminal command will get me a list of processes currently running
[16:48] <dr_willis> usr_mas:  ps ax, or top, or htop
[16:48] <dr_willis> depending on you rneeds
[16:48] <PabloRD> Yo, how do I know the FPS of a game in linux?
[16:48] <tucemiux> usr_mas: for more detailed view --> ps aux, you can also search ps aux|grep program_im_looking_for
[16:49] <edbian> tucemiux: aux  what is this BSD ?
[16:49] <tucemiux> PabloRD: what game youre talking about? usually there's a setting on a game that shows the fps
[16:49] <Quantum_Ion> aux ?
[16:49] <tucemiux> edbian: it works!
[16:50] <Quantum_Ion> auxilary ?
[16:50] <edbian> tucemiux: ha, it does
[16:50] <dr_willis> a u x    - 3 flags
[16:50] <PabloRD> tucemiux, Minecraft
[16:50] <edbian> Quantum_Ion: it's bsd syntax.  It shows all processes running
[16:50] <edbian> Quantum_Ion: ps -e is linux syntax
[16:50] <Quantum_Ion> lol
[16:50] <Quantum_Ion> must be pc-bsd
[16:50] <induz> why silverLight does not work on Firefox / technet site
[16:50] <Abhijit> induz, isnt it ms thingy?
[16:51] <induz> yes
[16:51] <oscalation> can someone help me with sending an ecnrypted email with gpg? i already have the keys generated and im using evolution. just having some issues. When i try to send an encrpted email, its just being sent plain text
[16:51] <Quantum_Ion> lol@silverlight in an ubuntu channel
[16:51] <dr_willis> i cant get moonlight to install here induz  so cant check the site in moonlight
[16:51] <induz> moonlight is already installed on Firefox
[16:51] <Abhijit> induz, i am not sure if it will run on firefox on linux. i never tried it.
[16:51] <oscalation> email account settings have been changed to include my gpg key and to encrpted on all outgoing email
[16:52] <amar> i have xampp running. Can i create tables using terminal??
[16:52] <induz> it says "Microsoft Silverlight may not be supported on your computer's hardware or operating system"
[16:52] <Abhijit> oscalation, i think you need to insatll gpg plugin for evolution
[16:52] <preecher> when i open a folder in my home folder & right click on one of the files i get amongst the options "send to" & "copy to" with the choice of send or copy to either home folder or desktop---my question is there a way i can edit/configure those options by having the option to send or copy to a folder on my choosing?
[16:52] <Abhijit> induz, yes then it is not supported. and its their fault.
[16:52] <dr_willis> induz:  then you follow the links and it gives me a download link to moonlight for linux. :)
[16:52] <induz> I dont have MS os
[16:52] <tucemiux> PabloRD: my advice is to look at the options in the game, there might be a setting there that allows the fps to show on your screen OR you could go into the game and ask players that are using ubuntu how to view the fps on minecraft
[16:52] <Quantum_Ion> Everyone has at least one MS operating system ?
[16:52] <Abhijit> induz, congrats.
[16:53] <dr_willis> but it failed to install.
[16:53] <induz> moonlight is already installed on my Firfox
[16:53] <edbian> Quantum_Ion: not me
[16:53] <oscalation> Abhijit, is there a plugin menu option to do so?
[16:53] <dr_willis> induz:  so the wuestion is why isent  'moonlight' working on this silverlight site...
[16:53] <MrNthDegree> Quantum_Ion, I have copies of almost every MS OS but proudly removed all CoAs from my PCs and replaced them with GNU head stickers :P
[16:53] <Abhijit> oscalation, search in software center
[16:53] <edbian> MrNthDegree: CoAs ?
[16:53] <dr_willis> Moonlight is not 100% compat. with silverlight.  :(
[16:54] <MrNthDegree> edbian, Certificate of Authenticity, it's the sticker on the side of a Windows OEM install box :P
[16:54] <induz> i dont know
[16:54] <tucemiux> grub legacy and grub2 completely borked my MBR, crap !
[16:54] <dr_willis> fallback to lilo?
[16:54] <dr_willis> :)
[16:54] <Quantum_Ion> Lilo ? wtf
[16:55] <Amoz> Lilo & Stitch you know?
[16:55] <edbian> lilo is the old bootloader
[16:55] <edbian> before grub
[16:56] <tucemiux> yeah but lilo is a pain, now im just trying to get back my xp and ubuntu OSes up online, I've tried everything to fix the MBR but nothing works, grub legacy and grub2 did a good job borking it, xp finished the job o.O
[16:58] <PabloRD> tucemiux, oops, now I remember that is a in-game option to show de FPS :P thank you
[16:58] <MrNthDegree> tucemiux, grub-install /dev/sda or the like
[16:58] <MrNthDegree> as root
[16:58] <tucemiux> MrNthDegree: Ive tried that and nothing worked

[17:12] <NCS_One> I'm trying to install epsxe and I'm getting this error "./epsxe: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", what do I have to do? or do you recommend other emulator?
[17:12] <prashant_123456> Abhijit, wols  thanks
[17:12] <maxagaz> wols, using tcpdump, how can I see only the two source and destination addresses and the ports affected ?
[17:12] <maxagaz> wols, is it better english ?
[17:13] <wols> maxagaz: not exactly understandable what you mean: I don't care about grammar, only about conveyed information
[17:13] <Dmole> NCS_One:install  or find out what version of libgtk you have
[17:13] <llutz> maxagaz: tcpdump -n     you mean?
[17:14] <NCS_One> Dmole: I have libgtk-2
[17:15] <wols> NCS_One: libgtk 1.2 is ancient. I think ubuntu doesn't ship with it anymore
[17:15] <Geolord> goood afternoon
[17:16] <tucemiux> !hello| Geolord
[17:16] <maxagaz> llutz, I got it, thanks
[17:16] <NCS_One> so I can't install epsxe, correct?
[17:16] <Dmole> NCS_One: well then you might want to try a more current app, failing that you could try linking to the new lib and hope there are no problems or you could try installing the old lib.
[17:16] <wols> NCS_One: you can, if you get the proper libgtk
[17:17] <babbage> hello

[17:18] <edbian> preecher: There is some package that lets you edit nautilus menus.  I'm not sure of the name, or that it will edit what you want.  LEmme look
[17:18] <younes> I SORRY I dont speacker ingles
[17:19] <NCS_One> Dmole, wols: can you recommend other emulator?

[17:19] <quinn_> why i couldn install wine on ubuntu 10.10
[17:19] <younes> yes
[17:19] <wols> NCS_One: no I don't know about PSX
[17:20] <zykotick9> NCS_One, check out PSX (it isn't in repo)
[17:20] <wols> quinn_: sudo apt-get install wine    pastebin the output
[17:20] <preecher> edbian thank you---it seems ive done this before but i dont remember the release--im now on 11.04---it may have been when i was using a deriative, i just dont remember
[17:20] <edbian> preecher: nautilus-actions   ?
[17:20] <quinn_> i did..but it said dependecies unresolved
[17:20] <preecher> edbian thanks ill try that
[17:21] <usr_mas> So my desktop is finally back up and running.
[17:21] <quinn_> now i use 11.04
[17:21] <edbian> preecher: there is also nautilus-send-to

[17:21] <edbian> preecher: sure
[17:21] <NCS_One> how can I find where espxe is looking for libs?
[17:21] <edbian> preecher: search nautilus in synaptic
[17:22] <wols> NCS_One: where did you get libgtk1.2 from?
[17:22] <usr_mas> I just noticed something strange. My "RIFT" installation seems to be running more smoothly inside of Wine than it was when I had the Unity GUI.
[17:22] <llutz> maxagaz: man tcpdump    or http://albanianwizard.org/tcpdump-how-to-the-linux-troubleshooter.albanianwizard
[17:22] <quinn_> is there any good video converter for ubuntu..?
[17:22] <usr_mas> Running more smoothly with the KDE GUI I mean

[17:25] <Amoz> ops
[17:26] <Amoz> quinn_, ^
[17:26] <zykotick9> quinn_, to add to Amoz's suggestion, there is a PPA that has handbrake
[17:26] <Bfh> usr_mas mass i figured it out,
[17:26] <zykotick9> quinn_, FYI handbrake only does MKV MP4 not avi
[17:26] <oneliner> say; i ve got six audio jacks on the motherboard, i can run jack and alsa without confilcts or x crashes, i was wondering if i could try to step it up to 4.0, adding an extra speaker set, but i cant find the soundcard configuration from unity that allows me to swap audio channels
[17:26] <Bfh> usr_mas had headphones plugg in at sametime ~ lolz
[17:26] <milen8204> Is the "F8" key to enter in safe mod ?
[17:26] <Amoz> quinn_, I think you can google a lot of stuff actually... arista, ffmpeg etc.
[17:27] <Dmole> NCS_One: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=epsxe+vs
[17:27] <zykotick9> !google > Dmole

[17:27] <quinn_> i did.. i tried ffmpeg... but i cant find the format for my sony mp4 player
[17:28] <zykotick9> quinn_, the ffmpeg in ubuntu repo won't do MP4!
[17:28] <darksifer> hi everyone. i followed all the guides but i cant get my bluetooth headset to work. it worked only once. it paired successfully but no device selection in sound preference. can someone help me out please. thanks in advance
[17:28] <Amoz> quinn_, check arista
[17:28] <zykotick9> quinn_, if you want MP4 i'd highly recommend handbrake
[17:28] <acicula> handbrake is awesome
[17:28] <Dmole> zykotick9: relax that link is actually a list he asked for.
[17:28] <dr_willis> arista has presets for many devives
[17:28] <quinn_> really i`ll try it
[17:29] <zykotick9> Dmole, lmgtfy is rude, i guess if he "asked" for it?
[17:29] <quinn_> how to connect to wirelees network, i dont how to configure my laptop
[17:29] <z0d> hi
[17:29] <quinn_> hi z0d
[17:29] <z0d> anyone experienced Xorg problems after upgrading to 11.04? Xorg can't load the fglrx module, it segfaults
[17:30] <Hamradio2008> irc.twit.tv/6667
[17:31] <acicula> z0d: what do you see when it segfaults, where do you get that error?
[17:31] <quinn_> guys help me plz
[17:31] <Dmole> zykotick9: he wanted to know the alternative to an app I was showing him that googling for "app vs" is a is what he is looking for. lmgtfy is only rude if you have no sense of humor, or you use it inappropriately
[17:31] <z0d> acicula: the problem is that even gdm doesn't start. the segfault is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:31] <coz_> z0d,   you may want to first purge fglrx
[17:31] <z0d> coz_: I've already tried that. didn't help
[17:31] <z0d> I even did aticonfig --initial -f
[17:32] <coz_> z0d,    sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx  <<
[17:32] <coz_> z0d,  and did you reboot after that?
[17:32] <coz_> z0d,   also look here   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549872
[17:33] <z0d> coz_: I'm trying, thanks
[17:33] <usr_mas> quinn_, Are you just trying to connect to a wireless network
[17:34] <quinn_> i use modem usb modem now
[17:36] <usr_mas> quinn_, You are not speaking of a phone line modem are you??
[17:36] <acicula> z0d: if you remove fglrx does the problem go away?
[17:36] <quinn_> no
[17:37] <quinn_> i use ..u know like sim card in my modem
[17:37] <z0d> acicula: yep
[17:37] <z0d> I can start Xorg with a vesa driver for example
[17:37] <acicula> z0d: well youd rather want to use the radeonhd driver, it should default to that instead of vesa, what ati/amd gpu do you have?
[17:38] <z0d> acicula: yes, but it was just an example
[17:38] <quinn_> usr_mas
[17:39] <z0d> acicula: mobility raden hd 4500 something
[17:39] <acicula> z0d: can you type lspci | grep VGA in a console?
[17:40] <z0d> acicula: that's where I got this info from
[17:40] <z0d> acicula: and it works fine with the radeon driver as well
[17:40] <acicula> awesome, can you paste that line for me?
[17:40] <z0d> I can't paste it, but I can type it. <-: hold on
[17:41] <usr_mas> quinn_, To my understanding Sim Cards are primarily used in cellular devices and you are trying to use your laptop to connect to a hotspot utilizing your phone??
[17:41] <acicula> eh, well i dont need the whole line, but just the exact versionumbering would be good
[17:41] <z0d> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series]
[17:41] <[THC]AcidRain> ~./ = home directory, correct?
[17:41] <z0d> too late <-:
[17:41] <z0d> [THC]AcidRain: yep
[17:42] <z0d> [THC]AcidRain: though it's ~/
[17:42] <z0d> [THC]AcidRain: without the dot
[17:42] <zykotick9> [THC]AcidRain, ummm ~ is home directory.   ./ means "at this location"
[17:42] <[THC]AcidRain> yeah my bad, without the dot
[17:43] <ThinkT510> ./ signifies a hidden directory
[17:43] <acicula> z0d: are you using the laste ubuntu version and/or is this upgraded from a previous ubuntu release? does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist? have you experienced this problem before with an older/other ubuntu distribution or linux distribution?
[17:43] <zykotick9> ThinkT510, not quite.  You can't have a folder called / so you can't hide it
[17:43] <z0d> acicula: it was upgraded from 10.11 to 11.04
[17:43] <z0d> acicula: I have not experienced this problem before
[17:44] <wh1zz0> Hi guys.. Please I a bit confused about guest additions here.. I am running natty as host and xp right in the VM (guest).. Which guest  additions am I supposed to install? Guest additions for Windows or Gust additions for Linux?
[17:44] <z0d> I removed xorg.conf after purging fglrx
[17:44] <wols> wh1zz0: for windows
[17:44] <z0d> though it got regenerated, so now I have one
[17:44] <bastidrazor> wh1zz0: for the vm which would be windows
[17:44] <wols> inside XP
[17:45] <nit-wit> wh1zz0, the guest = guest additions.
[17:45] <wh1zz0> Owh.. so I need to use the browser inside the VM to point to guest additions downloda right?
[17:45] <wols> z0d: where did you install your fglrx from?
[17:45] <no_name_brand> Hey guys! I am wondering if there's a Python library available that would let me read/write to virtual memory (RAM) on Ubuntu? Kind of like cytpe's kernel32 wrapper for Windows?
[17:45] <ThinkT510> zykotick9: thanks for the info, i was thinking of the config directories in the home directory ./purple etc
[17:45] <zykotick9> wh1zz0, are you using vbox?
[17:45] <wols> wh1zz0: no
[17:45] <z0d> wols: from the Ubuntu repository with apt-get
[17:45] <wh1zz0> Oracle VM Virtualbox
[17:45] <nit-wit> wh1zz0, run in the guest.
[17:45] <zykotick9> ThinkT510, close again, ~/.purple ;)
[17:45] <wh1zz0> Okie.. i'll try now
[17:46] <nit-wit> wh1zz0, did you download from Oracle?
[17:46] <wols> !pm | quinn_
[17:46] <wh1zz0> Yeah.. from virtualbox.org
[17:46] <ThinkT510> zykotick9: wow, i'm not thinking clearly today, thanks
[17:46] <zykotick9> wh1zz0, use VB to install the guest additions
[17:47] <zykotick9> wh1zz0, you don't need to download them manually
[17:47] <wols> quinn_: I told you to pastebin the output
[17:47] <dr_willis> virtualbox manual is quiet good also last i looked at it. :)
[17:47] <acicula> z0d: does the xorg.conf file contain any settings? Did the flgrx driver work under 10.10?
[17:47] <acicula> z0d: how did you upgrade from 10.10?
[17:47] <z0d> acicula: fglrx worked fine under 10.10. not I'm using the radeon module
[17:47] <wh1zz0> zykotick9: Okie let me try that now.. thanks alot. Got confused there
[17:48] <z0d> acicula: with System Upgrade
[17:48] <quinn_> sorry guys
[17:48] <acicula> z0d: is it possible to post the xorg log file on pastebin?
[17:48] <nit-wit> wh1zz0, notice this on this page "If you are using VirtualBox 4.0.12, please download the extension pack"  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[17:49] <zykotick9> acicula, yes
[17:49] <z0d> sure, hold on
[17:49] <quinn_> but no one give me the answer
[17:49] <zykotick9> acicula, oh sorry - "i'm on the trolley" now ;)
[17:49] <nit-wit> wh1zz0, if you have the latest 4.1 I believe it is included in the regular install.
[17:49] <no_name_brand> How could I go about reading/modifying data in virtual memory on a linux kernel using Python? I know I can do it on Windows using ctypes' kernel32 wrapper libraries...but what's similar for Ubuntu?
[17:49] <acicula> zykotick9: :D
[17:50] <z0d> acicula: http://pastebin.com/VG9v9v6f
[17:50] <wols> no_name_brand: fopen ("/proc/kmem")
[17:50] <z0d> it has nothing special though
[17:51] <no_name_brand> wols: ahh
[17:52] <acicula> z0d:   i meant the xorg log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:54] <Soothsayer> If I'm virtualizing Windows 7, does virtualbox or vmware allow me to drag a window from Windows 7 and place it out into ubuntu by any chance?
[17:54] <z0d> acicula: http://pastebin.com/VP5jXc8j
[17:55] <fw98> hi
[17:55] <fw98> I have a quest can I ask?
[17:55]  * maghion looks at number of users
[17:55]  * maghion 's jaw drop when its 1500
[17:55] <wols> !ask | fw98
[17:56] <acicula> z0d: heh, ok it bombs out because there is no flgrx driver, that makes sense. can you reload the flgrx driver and save the resulting log file?
[17:56] <acicula> *reinstall
[17:56] <z0d> acicula: wait, I might have pasted the wrong log
[17:56] <wols> Soothsayer: virtualbox seamless mode
[17:56] <zykotick9> Soothsayer, VB has some weird hybrid mode where the Win7 could appear to be a part of the ubuntu desktop (sorry i forgot the specifc name, haven't used VBox in a while, and never liked that particular feature)
[17:56] <fw98> How can I create a vm as vnc server on gdm or kdm?
[17:56] <zykotick9> wols, seamless, thanks you
[17:57] <wols> !info vnc4server
[17:57] <quidnunc> What is the package that enables ctrl-alt-backspace?
[17:57] <wols> fw98: that's how
[17:57] <fw98> vnc4server how can I configure them for gdm?
[17:58] <zykotick9> quidnunc, no package required
[17:58] <quidnunc> zykotick9: It used to be disabled by default and it is not working for me
[17:58] <zykotick9> quidnunc, damb, the package is the name of the factoid - and i can't remember it :(
[17:59] <z0d> acicula: it got overwritten, but I can reproduce it
[18:00] <Leif> omfg... emacs just truncated my file, can I get it back somehow?
[18:00] <Leif> I got a full disk error while saving
[18:00] <quidnunc> Leif: Backup file?
[18:00] <acicula> z0d: oki, take your time, just ping me when you are done ill be around for awhile.
[18:00] <Leif> so I thought I'd quit emacs and save the file using sudo to start emacs
[18:00] <quidnunc> Leif: undo also
[18:00] <Leif> and now it's 0 bytes
[18:00] <fw98> I dont find how can I do gdm on vnc4server please help me :p
[18:00] <Leif> I've disabled backsups :(((
[18:00] <Leif> does linux save some backup? (unlikely)
[18:01] <zykotick9> !dontzap | quidnunc
[18:01] <quidnunc> Leif: You need to be in #emacs but I think you are out of luck
[18:01] <quidnunc> zykotick9: thanks
[18:01] <Leif> I'll try there aswell
[18:01] <Leif> but I was thinking something to do with undelete?
[18:01] <Leif> doesn't linux have such a feture?
[18:01] <Leif> lost+found was empty though
[18:02] <z0d> Leif: lost+found is not for deleted files
[18:02] <quidnunc> Leif: You can sometimes recover deleted files (since they are not erased from disk only marked as unused) but you have not deleted the file
[18:02] <quidnunc> you changed its contents
[18:02] <iceroot> what is the common way to reset the keyring-password with lxde? (gnome not installed)
[18:02] <wh1zz0> zykotick9: http://imagebin.org/164680 Please why can't I click on devices drop down menu?
[18:02] <wh1zz0> It's not dropping down
[18:02] <Jetzt> net
[18:02] <Leif> well I don't think emacs wrote everythim over witjh zeros, since it scouln't even write a single byte
[18:03] <Leif> so what's that command to try and recover the bytes from disk?
[18:03] <quidnunc> Leif: As far as I know there is none
[18:03] <Leif> so why did you mention you could sometimes recover files then? :P
[18:03] <zykotick9> wh1zz0, sorry i don't have an answer for that, you might want to try in #vbox
[18:04] <quidnunc> Leif: *You* mentioned it
[18:04] <iceroot> !recover | Leif
[18:04] <quidnunc> Leif: I explained why it would not work in your case
[18:04] <quidnunc> Leif: Remember, the file is not deleted so those methods will not work
[18:04] <iceroot> Leif: but the normal answer to "how to restore deleted files" is "your backup"
[18:05] <Leif> yea I know iceroot
[18:05] <Leif> guess I'll just have to start over with that file
[18:05] <Leif> it's just annoying, damn evil emacs :D
[18:05] <iceroot> Leif: then use your backup, or learn to use a backup
[18:05] <rypervenche> Leif: There are a few programs that you can use to find the file, it will take a while to scan the entire harddrive though.
[18:06] <Leif> had I know emacs could do such a thing... then I would have left that backup feature on
[18:06] <quidnunc> Leif: That had nothing to do with emacs. Your disk was full and you disabled emacs' backup functions
[18:06] <wh1zz0> zykotick9: Okie
[18:06] <iceroot> Leif: use the newest vim, it will create a history for all files
[18:07] <iceroot> Leif: you can undo changes, even if you have changed the file
[18:07] <Leif> my file was there, I changed it and tried to save, result is a 0 byte, how is that not emacs fault, should't it have checked the sapce before writing?
[18:07] <quidnunc> iceroot: So does emacs
[18:07] <iceroot> Leif: why?
[18:07] <Leif> the problem is I quit emacs
[18:07] <Leif> sicne I wated to try and save the file anyway since there still is 100MB free on the disk
[18:08] <iceroot> Leif: emacs is a profi-tool and it think you are a profi and know what you are doing. no silly questions like "are you sure?"
[18:08] <quidnunc> Leif: 100MB is probably reserved for root
[18:08] <Leif> yes I know
[18:08] <Leif> that's what I was going for
[18:09] <Leif> sudo emacs, and then edit+save
[18:09] <Leif> but no, my file was empty already :P
[18:09] <Leif> evil
[18:09] <claviusmond> I want to copy all the pictures of a webpage. However there is something weird here: I have tried in chromium save as html, but only a fraction of the pictures are saved. If I go one by one I can save the images, but thats too long. I am noiw dumping the whole page onto libreoffice. Is there an easier way?
[18:09] <nit-wit> Soothsayer, you would use a shared folder you cant copy and paste between.
[18:09] <quidnunc> Leif: Ask on #emacs that doesn't sound right
[18:09] <zykotick9> claviusmond, check out wget
[18:09] <vlt> claviusmond: wget
[18:10] <iceroot> claviusmond: wget -r
[18:10] <claviusmond> a, command line?
[18:10] <iceroot> claviusmond: there is also a gui-version for wget but you asked for the easiest
[18:10] <nit-wit> Soothsayer, I'm speaking about virtualbox specifically.
[18:10] <claviusmond> iceroot, lol
[18:11] <jnsl_> what is the default pdf viewer installed with ubuntu ?
[18:12] <acicula> evince
[18:12] <jnsl_> oki ty
[18:13] <blade> can anyone tell me how to drop to command line
[18:13] <th0r> blade: open a terminal or use Alt-Ctl-F2
[18:14] <zykotick9> th0r, why do you give F2 as the example?  F1 is available as well.
[18:14] <blade> th0r that will not kill x tho
[18:14] <th0r> zykotick9: old school...F1 used to be the console
[18:14] <zykotick9> blade, "sudo service gdm stop"
[18:14] <zykotick9> th0r, i see ;)
[18:15] <blade> zykotick9, and that will drop me to to command line and have x shutdown?
[18:15] <zykotick9> blade, yes
[18:15] <zykotick9> blade, assuming you use ubuntu (gdm as your login manager)
[18:15] <blade> zykotick9, gnome yes
[18:16] <Soothsayer> nit-wit, hmm.. shared folders kind of appear as a network within the child OS right?
[18:16] <blade> zykotick9, and if i was in kde it would be the same but kdm in place of gdm right
[18:16] <Soothsayer> nit-wit, network location*
[18:17] <zykotick9> blade, you got it
[18:17] <blade> zykotick9, thank you
[18:17] <blade> zykotick9, one more thing... do i need to put "now" after that?
[18:18] <zykotick9> blade, no - now is for shutdowns
[18:18] <blade> zykotick9, ok thank you
[18:18] <Germ> hi
[18:20] <cyperbg> guys I'm looking for someone who is willing to help with setting up Putty to connect using public/private keys to my Ubuntu machine. I've tried 2-3 different tutorials and each time I get Server refused our key
[18:21] <Kre10s_> is there something like a global ~/.xinitrc ?
[18:22] <acicula> Kre10s_: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[18:22] <acicula> Kre10s_: messing with those files will likely break your gdm login manager though
[18:22] <rhino> Hi there. Ubuntu newbie alert - help please! Install latest Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. 2 problems: firstly, Grub doesn't appear on bootup, and secondly, when rebuilding the Grub menu list, Windows 7 doesn't appear in it. I know that Windows is still there as I can browse the contents in Ubuntu.
[18:22] <Kre10s_> acicula, yes it could... but i don't have one. yet :P
[18:24] <acicula> Kre10s_: why not just install gdm or an equivalent?
[18:24] <nit-wit> Soothsayer, are you asking how to have a shared right. Make a folder in Ubuntu then in windows right click the computer in the menu, and then the I thin its network and let it find the shared, you also have to go to the edit in the machine with it off and link the shred folder as well.
[18:24] <fabiano> hello
[18:24] <Kre10s_> I'm trying to use openbox by its self
[18:25] <acicula> openbox?
[18:25] <zykotick9> acicula, *box are light weight windows managers
[18:26] <acicula> oh openbox
[18:26] <acicula> gotcha
[18:26] <Kre10s_> yes. openbox. I'm putting together a livecd, and i need it to start automatically.
[18:26] <elocina> join #wikihow
[18:26] <elocina> hi
[18:27] <acicula> Kre10s_: wouldnt using gdm with autologin be much easier?
[18:27] <acicula> or rather, less customizing?
[18:27] <Kre10s_> acicula, well. i don't know. but i don't want to confuse the casper scripts.
[18:27] <zenon> can i get ubuntu help in this channel?
[18:27] <zykotick9> acicula, realize how much extra would be required to add GDM to a low resource system
[18:28] <kjeldor> hi, how can i make my chromium not ask me everytime i open facebook to always input the computer name? i want when i open facebook, password is saved and it will automatically enter inside my "home" of facebook...
[18:28] <Kre10s_> and that... if i just knew were to put the xinit and openbox commands, id be done.
[18:28] <zenon> i have 11.04 running. and everything was fine. then one day, some updates got installed, and now it won't boot up.   it gets to the ubuntu logo with 4 dots.  the dots fill up, as in its finishing loading, and that's it
[18:28] <zenon> just gets stuck there
[18:29] <Kre10s_> zenon, press escape. might give more messages.
[18:29] <zenon> it doesn't
[18:29] <zenon> doesn't do anything
[18:29] <zenon> i thought it would remove the logo screen and show me the bootup process, but doesn't
[18:29] <zykotick9> zenon, you might want to test if nomodeset makes a difference
[18:30] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | zenon
[18:30] <Kre10s_> once you get to grub press e on the entry you normally boot with.
[18:30] <zenon> ok, so in grub i'll remove nomodeset
[18:30] <Kre10s_> then remove splash and quiet.
[18:30] <zenon> maybe when a new kernel got installed it added it by default?
[18:30] <kjeldor> anybody can help me with my chromium?
[18:30] <zykotick9> zenon, do you already have nomodeset?  If you do, I wouldn't recommend removing it.
[18:30] <zenon> let me check grub file
[18:30]  * zenon hates grub2
[18:31] <zenon> i don't get why they moved the config files between grub and grub2
[18:31] <zykotick9> zenon, "cat /etc/default/grub | grep nomodeset"
[18:31] <tucemiux> anybody knows why there is space wasted when I created a partition in gparted?
[18:31] <kjeldor> how can i make my chromium not ask me everytime i open facebook to always input the computer name? i want when i open facebook, password is saved and it will automatically enter inside my "home" of facebook...
[18:31] <wh1zz0> zykotick9: I got it working now.. My USB stick was not inserted. And that's where my WIN Xp ISO file is
[18:32] <zenon> zykotick9, don't have nomodeset in there
[18:32] <zenon> right now i'm booted into recovery mode, with log graphics
[18:32] <zenon> but if i boot into normal mode, gets stuck
[18:32] <wh1zz0> zykotick9: Guest additions now fully installed and everything working (mouse integration and full screen).. My problem now is how to tell VM not to look into my USB
[18:32] <zenon> i guess i'll try booting with quiet off
[18:32] <zykotick9> zenon, i'd test to see if it makes a difference, it likely won't.  I'd consider Kre10s_ suggestion of removing quite splash so you can see what's happening
[18:33] <zykotick9> wh1zz0, nice!  glad you got it figured out.
[18:33] <wh1zz0> Please how can I achieve that? Cuz anytime my USB is not inserted, my VM doesn't seem to function properly e.g the last time when I cld not click on "devices" menu
[18:33] <kjeldor> Chrome makes me save my password, but doesnt let me enter inside right away, after closing chrome and opening it...
[18:34] <vandrar> hey guy!!!
[18:34] <rhino> anyone know how to fix Grub not showing at boot?
[18:34] <GOMI> is it a problem if at "monitors" it gives , UNKNOW  but at nvidia server it sees my screen as iiyama(name)  ? ?
[18:34] <zenon> rhino, i think you would have to reinstall grub
[18:34] <zykotick9> rhino, check /etc/default/grub -- if you  make a change remember to run "sudo update-grub2"
[18:34] <GOMI> i mean nvidia x server
[18:35] <zykotick9> rhino, holding shift down after BIOS should force grub to show (if it's installed)
[18:37] <kjeldor> I guess nobody here knows
[18:37] <rhino> brilliant- will try that - thanks everyone. I'll be back in a bit as I have some other probs :)
[18:37] <kjeldor> how can i make my chromium not ask me everytime i open facebook to always input the computer name? i want when i open facebook, password is saved and it will automatically enter inside my "home" of facebook...
[18:37] <quentusrex_> Is it possible to get statistics on what device is causing irq interrupts?
[18:38] <zykotick9> quentusrex_, do you know what an IRQ Interrupt is?  They aren't bad.
[18:38] <GOMI> i think i have a conflict between nvidia service settings  & monitor
[18:38] <GOMI> i cant change to 60hz
[18:38] <GOMI> only 53hz
[18:39] <An_Ony_Moose> !liveusb
[18:40] <ozzy> join #Venezuela
[18:40] <zykotick9> An_Ony_Moose, FYI to get factoids privately you can use "/msg ubottu liveusb"
[18:40] <An_Ony_Moose> zykotick9: ok thanks
[18:42] <quentusrex_> zykotick9, yes I am familiar with what they are, and I know they aren't bad. But when you have the kernel spawning 16: ksoftirqd processes to handle a device that is spewing interupts it would be nice to find out which device is causing the problem.
[18:43] <quentusrex_> I have almost 80% of a 16 core box consumed by the ksoftirqd processes most likely because of some dieing piece of hardware.
[18:43] <zykotick9> quentusrex_, agreed.  Sorry I don't personally know, just wanted to confirm you weren't "chasing your tail".  Best of luck.
[18:43] <quentusrex_> zykotick9, Thanks. I do appreciate it.
[18:43] <ozzy> can u use compiz with 11.04?
[18:43] <m0n0> hey
[18:43] <zykotick9> ozzy, if you graphics card support it, sure.
[18:44] <Alia> Hi, I'm trying to use me Bluetooth headset with Ubuntu 11.04. Pairing and connection to the device works, but I can not find any way to transfer the sound to the headset within the Sound preferences dialog.
[18:44] <ozzy> mm...when I try to active it gives problems with the unity pluggin
[18:44] <zykotick9> Alia, in the hardware tab of sound preferences do you see bluetooth listed?
[18:45] <Alia> zykotick9: No =(
[18:45] <zykotick9> Alia, that's certainly an issue then.  Sorry, I got nothing - BT either worked OOTB or I had no success with it.  Best of luck.

[18:47] <KM0201> quidnunc: to create one
[18:47] <quidnunc> or substitute
[18:47] <quidnunc> KM0201: What is used by default?
[18:47] <ThinkT510> alazare619: it should be under power management settings
[18:47] <quidnunc> I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:47] <alazare619> yea i have it ticed
[18:47] <rww> quidnunc: Xorg uses autodetection by default now. If you create an xorg.conf, it'll use settings in that instead.
[18:47] <alazare619> but it wont hibernate
[18:47] <alazare619> i have a swap file and everything
[18:47] <KM0201> quidnunc: not really sure whats used by default, but you can create/configure a xorg.conf

[18:48] <ThinkT510> alazare619: how much ram do you have and how big is your swap partition?
[18:48] <Alia> I just remembered I'm running Pulseaudio in system mode maybe that's a problem.
[18:48] <quidnunc> rww: info is out of date. There is no dontzap package and xorg.conf no longer exists by default
[18:49] <alazare619> ThinkT510: its 512 ram 1.5gig swap
[18:49] <KM0201> quidnunc: i believe that link i posted above gives info to create a xorg.conf

[18:49] <denis_> Hi !
[18:50] <rhino> help needed - grub is working through holding shift at start. Windows 7 as an option doesn't exist. How do I add it?
[18:50] <ThinkT510> alazare619: hmm, not sure what to suggest, it should work

[18:50] <kjeldor> then i always have to input Name New Computer on facebook everytime
[18:50] <alazare619> quidnunc:  go to keyboard shortcuts and enable it in there
[18:50] <nit-wit> rhino, have you run in ubuntu sudo update-grub
[18:50] <KM0201> rhino: that should generate a new list, see if it picks up windows
[18:50] <denis_> I search for the canal french, who help me ?
[18:50] <alazare619> ThinkT510: yea idk either debian hibernated fine...just not ubuntu
[18:50] <blade> quidnunc, if you run ATI you need to run "sudo aticonfig --initial" in terminal
[18:50] <rww> denis_: /join #ubuntu-fr

[18:51] <nit-wit> KM0201, the grub2 command was needed for earlier grub2 now it is just update-grub
[18:51] <blade> quidnunc, than i have no idea... i am looking for a way to kill xRandR
[18:51] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all.  I have jsut installed VirtualBox 4.1.0 from the DEB distributed on their site and don't seem to have a GUI management tool any more.  Can someone advise on when I should go to get that functionality back... thanks...
[18:52] <KM0201> nit-wit: oh ok.. well, grub2 should still work.. regardless... does the same as update-grub
[18:52] <blade> quidnunc, what you are looking for is to run it
[18:52] <AlanKey> hi i was wondering if anyone knows how to set up a firewall on ubuntu 11.04
[18:52] <rhino> just ran sudo update-grub2 and it finds 'linux', 'initrd' and 'memtest'. No Windows partition :(
[18:52] <tester> I need help setting up iptables can you help ?
[18:52] <nit-wit> KM0201, probably, not sure. ;)
[18:52] <KM0201> nit-wit: it does.
[18:52] <nit-wit> cool
[18:52] <bobweaver> I need help setting up iptables can you help ?

[18:52] <KM0201> !grub2
[18:52] <bobweaver> Pin: googlubuntu.com

[18:53] <bobweaver> !iptables
[18:53] <blade> alazare619, or a movie player
[18:53] <Pin> @ bobweaver THANKS!
[18:53] <KM0201> rhino: did you disconnect your windows drive during install?
[18:53] <AlanKey> thanks
[18:53] <nit-wit> KM0201, I will link you to the miai grub 2 wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading
[18:53] <nit-wit> *main
[18:54] <rhino> KM0201: no, all is installed on 1 hard drive, just using partitions. I can see the Windows partition in Ubuntu as I can browse the contents.
[18:54] <blade> is it possible to disable RandR 1.2
[18:54] <KM0201> nit-wit: i guess i miss the point of your link
[18:54] <ThinkT510> !xrandr
[18:55] <nit-wit> KM0201, no mention of running grub2-update
[18:55] <KM0201> nit-wit: i know what the page says, run both commands and look at the output, they do the exact same thing
[18:56] <Kre10s_> say im simulating a livecd in qemu. how could i mount a local folder into the simutation?
[18:56] <coder2> guys,any c++ project in your knowledge????i have basic knowledge of data structures in c++ and want to learn a c++ library too
[18:56] <nit-wit> KM0201, I'm not argueing with you just pointing out that although the command works as of now it is not generally advised. ;)
[18:56] <rhino> is there any way of adding Window 7 as an option to Grub manually, or is that not recommended? sudo -update doesnt find Windows.
[18:56] <KM0201> nit-wit: i don't see how it cannot be advised, when it does the exact same thinng
[18:57] <nit-wit> rhino, run this script and pastebin the text file generated. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[18:57] <KM0201> rhino: this might help as well...  http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[18:57] <nit-wit> KM0201, k
[18:57] <kangfasher> Hello. Recently i loaded an avi movie that worked on another computer to my Ubuntu netbook
[18:57] <kangfasher> and I was getting all sorts of error messages such as "disconnected from terminal"
[18:57] <madpup> Sorry to butt in but, does any one know of a program like rtorrent but for http, ftp downloads?  i want something i can leave on a server and then ssh into it and add a file link to the queue to download
[18:58] <kangfasher> Now the videos seem to play but without sound. Sometimes the videos will play a strange noise that sounds like a techno cell phone ringtone.
[18:58] <kangfasher> Any suggestions as to how I might remedy the situation fellahs?
[18:58] <KM0201> !ftp
[18:58] <rhino> nit-wit. OK I will do. Thanks
[18:58] <nit-wit> rhino, if you run the script we will see what your missing, do you have a windows recovery or install disc?
[18:59] <madpup> all i have is a ncurses, no xserver is running on it
[18:59] <rhino> yeah, have that. Hold on, just trying to run script
[18:59] <nit-wit> cool
[18:59] <blade> Kre10s_,  you can mount a local folder into a live cd
[18:59] <DarsVaeda> hi when doing "sudo su username" I get into the shell of the user but there is no suggestions with tab, is that an error, how do I get tab-suggestions in foreign accounts?
[18:59] <kangfasher> Do I need a registered nick to post in this channel/.?
[18:59] <wols> kangfasher: lftp
[19:00] <kangfasher> wols, what?
[19:00] <nit-wit> kangfasher, no we see you.;)
[19:00] <wols> kangfasher: what you asked for
[19:00] <wols> sorry. misread. it was madpup who wanted that, my bad
[19:00] <zykotick9> DarsVaeda, try "sudo su - username"  the - simulates a login/environment better
[19:00] <wols> madpup: use lftp
[19:01] <quidnunc> alazare619: What should it be mapped to?
[19:01] <madpup> looking into it thanks
[19:01] <DarsVaeda> zykotick9: still no suggestioins
[19:01] <DarsVaeda> suggestions
[19:01] <Kre10s_> blade, how would i do that? over the network?
[19:01] <kangfasher> Anyone here have any experience watching avi films on Ubuntu?
[19:01] <kangfasher> i am having some minor problems.
[19:01] <zykotick9> DarsVaeda, sorry I don't have any other suggestions, best of luck.
[19:01] <quidnunc> alazare619: There is nothing that seems to suggest killing the x server
[19:01] <himanshu_> my update manager does not let me update :(...it throws up message 'requires installation of untrusted packages'
[19:01] <DarsVaeda> thanks anyway :)
[19:01] <KM0201> kangfasher: what app are you watching them in?.. and do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[19:02] <blade> Kre10s_, if i was to put a live cd in this computer i could mount any drive that is on here
[19:02] <nit-wit> himanshu_, have you added any extra repositories?
[19:02] <Kre10s_> blade like i said im simulating it.. with qemu.

[19:03] <rhino> nit-wit, shall I private you the results.txt info or just paste it into the main window?
[19:03] <himanshu_> no
[19:03] <blade> Kre10s_, ok sorry i did not see that
[19:03] <himanshu_> nit-wit, no
[19:03] <KM0201> kangfasher: try installing VLC or Parole Media player, see if that resolves the issue
[19:03] <DarsVaeda> ahh tab-completion thats what its called
[19:03] <nit-wit> rhino, pastebin it in the forum
[19:03] <DarsVaeda> and no I am in a shell of another user and need completion for folder and file names :)
[19:03] <rhino> soz, haven't used irc since 1996! What's pastebin?
[19:04] <blade> rhino, pastebin.com
[19:04] <ThinkT510> DarsVaeda: ok
[19:04] <quentusrex_> Anyone know the proper way in 11.04 to add noapic boot option to grub?
[19:04] <blade> is it possible to disable RandR
[19:05] <edbian_> quentusrex_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[19:05] <alazare619> quidnunc: you have to add a custome keyboard shortcut
[19:05] <edbian_> rhino: blade paste.ubuntu.com
[19:05] <alazare619> quidnunc: and btw alt print screen/sys req k will also kill it
[19:05] <rhino> Ah, ok - done that - thanks for your patience, guys: http://pastebin.com/gXUUp4Wt
[19:05] <blade> edbian_, i did not know about the .ubuntu part thank you
[19:06] <edbian_> blade: sure
[19:06] <DarsVaeda> you need to edit /etc/bash_completion for it to work :)
[19:06] <crischan> i have set an extended LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my .bashrc and it works when starting my app from the terminal, but not when starting via KDEs menu. how do i specify a LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the .desktop files pick it up?
[19:06] <blade> is it possible to disable RandR
[19:06] <wdp_> blade, may i ask, why you want to do so?
[19:07] <blade> wdp_, so that ATI CCC can control my monitors and video cards
[19:07] <madpup> @wols Thanks for mentioning lftp, its a bit more complicated then i was looking for, is there something like flashget but in ncurses?
[19:08] <blade> wdp_,  when i try to set things up the way i want them with aticonfig it gave me an error and said it can not while xrandr 1.2 is running
[19:08] <nit-wit> rhino, open gparted you may ned to instal it and set the bootflag on sda2, then I will give you the rest of the instaructions
[19:08] <Jewfro-Macabbi> madpup, wget?
[19:08] <wdp_> blade, i see. no idea how to disable that, you might be able to do so by writing your own xorg.conf.
[19:08] <rhino> nit-wit - thanks, will do

[19:09] <himanshu_> I put my proxy settings in the 'Network Proxy' and applied it system wide...but still when i use apt-get install <package> is get 407 Proxy Authentication Required
[19:09] <himanshu_> help someone
[19:09] <himanshu_> :)
[19:09] <blade> wdp_, i do not have the knowledge of xorg.conf to be able to do so :(
[19:10] <Jewfro-Macabbi> blade, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - you can place a # in front of any option to disable it
[19:10] <blade> wdp_, with aticonfig i know generate one but i do not know enough about the settings in xorg.conf to make one from the ground up
[19:11] <Jewfro-Macabbi> blade, if for some reason X will not start with the option disabled, from the terminal sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - remove the #, reboot
[19:11] <blade> Jewfro-Macabbi, again i do not  have the understanding of xorg.conf to know what to add and or disable
[19:11] <noman> I just installed Ubuntu on my HP DM3 and my graphics wont work. Everything is choppy(like browsing, e.g.) and I don't have any properitary drivers in my additional drivers program. How do I fix the graphics? Also, my fan is constantly on and laptop REALLY hot
[19:12] <kierge> how do i create a user that has the same privelleges as the same sudo level user that installed a ubuntu os ?
[19:12] <rhino> nit-wit, have set boot flag on sda2 in gparted. Awaiting further instructions :D
[19:12] <blade> Jewfro-Macabbi, i have been fighting with this for 3 days now ... i have made many many xorg.conf files .... most of witch do not work....
[19:13] <alazare619> kierge:  any user of the group user will have the same privledges
[19:13] <KM0201> kierge: create the user, then go to users and groups, highlight the user, click Edit settings click ont he user priviliges tab, and grant it "administrative" rights
[19:13] <Jewfro-Macabbi> blade, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/xorg.conf.5.html - start reading here
[19:13] <kierge> thank you
[19:14] <wdp_> blade, hm. its not very difficult.
[19:14] <blade> Jewfro-Macabbi, omg .... i did not know a page still existed that i had not read already lol.... thank you i will have a look and see what i can pick up from it :)
[19:14] <nit-wit> rhino, boot the install dvd for W& go to repair and run these two commands this bootrec.exe /fixmbr    then   bootrec.exe /fixboot        Now after this we will have to reload grub in the mbr after you get the W7 to boot without grub
[19:14] <wdp_> blade, i got no ubuntu running atm, but try man xorg.conf
[19:14] <nit-wit> *w7
[19:15] <nit-wit> rhino, you see both commands start at the word boot?
[19:16] <blade> wdp_, i have even tried grandr and the main problem that i come up with in all of the RandR is that my 2nd gpu/monitor will not show up in randr but it is on... and working .... just not quite the way i want it set up is all
[19:16] <chat4life> is it possible to install ubuntu 11 with gnome or LXDE as default desktop without having to install unity
[19:16] <blade> wdp_, and randr keeps ATI ccc from doing anything more with it than it has right now
[19:16] <Thrawn> i got an active wlan home internet connection, yet my bittorrent clients (transmission, deluge) wont connect, any idea why? ive been toying with their settings alrdy but it didnt help
[19:17] <ThinkT510> !lubuntu | chat4life
[19:17] <rhino> nit-wit - thanks, I will boot with W7 bootdisk and type those commands as you say. Hopefully back in 10!
[19:17] <wdp_> blade,  i guess is houldnt ask why you don't use ati kms, or?
[19:17] <MrUnagi> i have mail in Maildir/new but the cmd mail says i have no mail, is this an issue?
[19:17] <wdp_> i shouldn't*
[19:17] <nit-wit> rhino, cool
[19:17] <zykotick9> chat4life, if you started with Ubuntu Mini you could install only what you want.  The mini is basically a debian netinstall cd, with Ubuntu repos.
[19:17] <wdp_> MrUnagi, might be a permission issue. check them using ls -la .. tho just a blind guess.
[19:18] <chat4life> tried debian netinstall did work for me
[19:18] <blade> wdp_, i have no idea what it is
[19:18] <wdp_> blade, the opensource ati driver.
[19:18] <chat4life> didn't work for me
[19:18] <MrUnagi> all of them are owned by user : user
[19:18] <MrUnagi> is it suppose to be something else?
[19:18] <blade> wdp_, i loose all my 3d when i try to use that one
[19:18] <MrUnagi> user : mail?
[19:18] <tucemiux> what partition access method you guys recommend: dev, label, uuid
[19:18] <tucemiux> opops! wrong channel
[19:18] <wdp_> blade, which card you got? can u show me lspci | grep VGA
[19:19] <blade> wdp_, my GPU's are to new
[19:19] <anli_> Hm, cannot run apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade

[19:19] <neo21> hi
[19:19] <anli_> I get a message telling me 0 packages needed to be upgraded etc
[19:19] <zykotick9> tucemiux, i personally think LABELs make life easier
[19:19] <MrUnagi> wdp_: ^^^ sorry
[19:19] <neo21> someone with Apache experience here?

[19:20] <MrUnagi> wdp_: the only thing i see is Cannot open mailbox /var/mail/fmaster: Permission denied
[19:20] <MrUnagi> but mail shouldn't be delivered to /var/mail
[19:20] <wdp_> MrUnagi, is fmaster your username?
[19:20] <MrUnagi> its the test user
[19:20] <SwedeMike> !private | neo21
[19:21] <blade> wdp_, can i pm you
[19:21] <wdp_> blade, allowed.
[19:21] <wdp_> MrUnagi, well, i guess there's your problem.
[19:21] <anli_> nit-wit: Maybe, but the dist is not the newest
[19:21] <anli_> nit-wit: Its still 10.10
[19:21] <neo21> anyone with Apache experience here? especially mod_cache and 10.04 64bit server?
[19:21] <nit-wit> wdp_, can you do that in the voice of Darth Vader.;)
[19:22] <MrUnagi> there is no /var/mail/fmaster folder wdp_
[19:22] <wdp_> nit-wit, nah, in that voice i only learned "luke, i'm your father!"
[19:22] <SwedeMike> neo21: you're still not getting it. ASK THE REAL QUESTION. And as it in the channel, not in pm.
[19:22] <SwedeMike> ask
[19:22] <Pin> hi is Ubuntu 11.10 going to include Gnome 3.0?
[19:23] <Uhonia> Probably not Pin.
[19:23] <kroq-gar78> !ask | neo21
[19:23] <Pin> :(
[19:23] <chat4life> hate ubńity and gnome 3
[19:23] <chat4life> ünity
[19:23] <kroq-gar78> Pin: AFAIK, yes
[19:23] <Uhonia> agree, they both suck
[19:23] <Pin> AFAIK meaning?
[19:23] <kroq-gar78> it will be included AFAIK
[19:23] <kroq-gar78> as far as I know
[19:23] <kroq-gar78> = AFAIk
[19:23] <nit-wit> wdp_, ;)
[19:23] <SwedeMike> Pin: according to th einformation on for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_11.10#Ubuntu_11.10_.28Oneiric_Ocelot.29 it's going to run Gnome 3.0
[19:24] <kjeldor> help!! i am now on (normal mode without effects) i accidentally enabled some options inside DESKTOP CUBE, and now I cant use my desktop... how do i fix this?
[19:24] <Pin> ah ok. chat4life which is your fav/best enviorment in your opinion
[19:24] <kroq-gar78> !offtopic | Pin
[19:24] <ritzz> no one?
[19:24] <neo21> SwedeMike: Ok thanks. I think I got it now.
[19:25] <chat4life> Pin have no opinion use gnome like xfce and would love to try lxde (because it's fatser then xfce)
[19:25] <chat4life> (lxde more then i already have )
[19:25] <kroq-gar78> Pin: Unity's being ported from gtk2 to gtk3, so yes. Also, please use offtopic for this "polling" type of stuffz (I know hyppocrite ;)      )
[19:25] <MrUnagi> wdp_: after making the dir that didn't exist i now get Cannot open mailbox /var/mail/fmaster: Is a directory
[19:26] <wdp_> MrUnagi, because it should be a file.
[19:26] <Pin> what do you mean by offtopic
[19:26] <Lal-Ohlal> I just installed the ATI Catalyst driver from ATI's site on my fresh insstall HP DM3 notebook and now after the reboot I can't get X to start. It crashes and drops to shell.
[19:26] <MrUnagi> what is suppose to make it
[19:26] <wdp_> MrUnagi, sudo rm -rf /var/mail/fmaster && touch /var/mail/fmaster && chown user:group /var/mail/fmaster
[19:26] <kroq-gar78> Pin: basically, polling isn't really support based, so switch there
[19:26] <zykotick9> !poll | Pin
[19:26] <wdp_> MrUnagi, obviously you have to replace user:group with real data :p
[19:26] <MrUnagi> I'm starting to get weary here because, the mail isn't located in /var/mail
[19:26] <MrUnagi> why is it looking there
[19:26] <Pin> ok
[19:27] <wdp_> because user mail lands there :>
[19:27] <MrUnagi> what about ~/Maildir/new?
[19:27] <Lal-Ohlal> anyone? :(
[19:28] <MrUnagi> thats where the mail was actually sent
[19:28] <neo21> Using Apache 2.2.14 and the bundled mod_cache does not seem to work with the default config...at least for me. The disk_cache is being missed all the time (the cache dir is empty) and sadly there is no logging available...is there a bug/caveat related to ubuntu I am just not aware of? thanks.
[19:28] <Pin> When will Ubuntu 11.10 be released?
[19:28] <zykotick9> Lal-Ohlal, if you've chosen to not use Ubuntu's supported method for installing drivers, try the #ati channel (not too many people there though)
[19:29] <MrUnagi> pin 10 2011?
[19:29] <ritzz> thanx for nothing
[19:29] <ritzz> you never answer
[19:29] <ThinkT510> !11.10 | Pin
[19:29] <Pin> Ah ok, So after my birthday. Great! :) thanks
[19:29] <wdp_> MrUnagi, sorry, can't help.
[19:30] <zykotick9> Pin, ubuntu version numbers are the release date 11.10 means 2011, 10th month
[19:31] <Pin> thanks
[19:31] <MrUnagi> =(
[19:31] <Pin> :)
[19:31] <Pin> Learned something new, I didnt know :)
[19:32] <chat4life> any one tried ubuntu 11.10 alpha ?
[19:33] <zykotick9> chat4life, try #ubuntu+1
[19:33] <coz_> chat4life,  you want to go to  #ubuntu+1  which is the official pre release channel
[19:34] <chat4life> ok
[19:36] <MrUnagi> i don't understand why mail is trying to open /var/mail this doesn't make sense
[19:37] <mic> ho bisogno di aiutoooooooo
[19:37] <wdp_> MrUnagi, because "local" mail is usually sent there.
[19:38] <MrUnagi> unless i am using Maildir
[19:38] <funkeyy> Hi ! i just altered the password for root on my pc.. but now when i do sudo-commands, it still works with the old pass.. whats wrong here?

[19:38] <alikon> biedronka
[19:38] <zykotick9> funkeyy, sudo != root password
[19:38] <MrUnagi> how do i make it NOT look there

[19:38] <chat4life> fffurhjruruhrrrrr

[19:39] <guampa> :P
[19:39] <mic> okgrazie
[19:39] <zykotick9> funkeyy, sudo relies on the users password.  What are you trying to actually do?
[19:39] <wdp_> lol
[19:39] <wdp_> !de
[19:39] <wdp_> lol
[19:39] <guampa> ?
[19:39] <chat4life> funkeyy try reboote
[19:39] <wdp_> guampa, nothing nothing .)
[19:39] <funkeyy> zykes-, uhm.. but what is it then.. i thought certain operations need to be done by root and sudo switches temporary to beeing root
[19:40] <kyan> Hello! How can I keep maximised windows from going under certain screenlets?
[19:40] <MrUnagi> never mind i got it
[19:40] <funkeyy> zykotick9, uhm.. but what is it then.. i thought certain operations need to be done by root and sudo switches temporary to beeing root
[19:40] <wdp_> MrUnagi, don't let us die dumb. What is it? :)
[19:40] <zykotick9> funkeyy, TAB FAIL - yes sudo uses the root account, with the users password
[19:40] <funkeyy> zykotick9, okay Oo..
[19:40] <zykotick9> !root | funkeyy
[19:40] <MrUnagi> under the mail user MAIL=/home/fmaster/Maildir
[19:41] <z3r0> hey guys, quick question I was connected to a server and installing Catalyst when my latop battery died, Is there aanyway to grab that pts connection again??
[19:41] <funkeyy> zykotick9, thanks!
[19:41] <funkeyy> zykotick9, crazy concept though
[19:42] <korsi> Hello! I reinstalled grub. It made my archlinux path to root=/dev/hda3 ro. It should be /dev/sda. So it didnt boot.  So i edited manually grup.cfg to match. Should this be reported as bug?
[19:42] <kroq-gar78> funkeyy: you can also do sudo -i or sudo su, but I don't reccomed
[19:42] <zykotick9> funkeyy, ya, I'm not sure what I think is better, sudo or root account.  But Ubuntu uses sudo, so you should stick to that.
[19:42] <zykotick9> kroq-gar78, not "sudo su"!  funkeyy
[19:42] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: y not?
[19:43] <zykotick9> kroq-gar78, doesn't set environment properly, can end up causing problems.
[19:43] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: ah good to know. I always use sudo -i anyway :P
[19:47] <uhonia> Hi there, im on U10.10 and im trying to install a few things. But got a broken pack error. Is there an easy way to solve this, becasue synaptic gives me 100's of packs listed as broken... and i don't really want to remove all of them
[19:47] <kroq-gar78> uhonia: have you tried to do "sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:47] <kroq-gar78> " and "sudo apt-get install -f"?
[19:47] <coz_> uhonia,  in synaptic package manager under the Edit menu I believe is a "fix broken packages" option
[19:47] <kroq-gar78> just taking a random guess here...
[19:48] <uhonia> yup yesterday, nada. Found a few things on the net and they gave me loads of terminal stuff to type in, but didn't seam to help
[19:48] <[snake]> I just removed the ubuntu desktop package after downloading fluxbox, because I like fluxbox :) so how can I remove all of the gnome apps?
[19:49] <coz_> uhonia,  did you try the synaptic  "Fix broken packages"  option?
[19:49] <noman> I just installed the ATI Properitary driver on my DM3 but the graphics are still laggy :(
[19:49] <uhonia> one moment, I don't think I saw that option
[19:49] <coz_> uhonia,  its under the "Edit" menu
[19:50] <kroq-gar78> [snake]: "sudo apt-get remove libgtk"?
[19:50] <kroq-gar78> [snake]: you might have to find all of the gkt libraries through "aptitude search gtk"
[19:50] <coz_> noman,  are you running Unity?
[19:50] <noman> coz_: KDE :(
[19:50] <uhonia> Hmm it still lists them as broken for some reason. I might just reinstall
[19:51] <coz_> noman,  mm darn,,,
[19:51] <kroq-gar78> uhonia: sudo apt-get install -f or have you done that already?
[19:52] <Bfh> Ubuntu 11.04 Question: Basicly when you click the sound option to change volume Banshee is located under the sound option button (beside wifi connection and so on) would like to change this to VLC player and get rid of banshee from this winder -- will settle of tutorial or step by step instructions, any help is appreciated !
[19:52] <uhonia> I have, it only removed one package and didn't solve the software centre install issue (IE telling me I have broken packs and need to fix it)
[19:52] <zykotick9> uhonia, try "sudo apt-get -f install" if it fails, pastebin the output back to the channel.
[19:53] <noman> coz_, Any idea what I should do? :(
[19:53] <zykotick9> uhonia, did you add some repo before this problem started?
[19:53] <uhonia> P5Q-PRO:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

[19:53] <uhonia> Yeah a webup8 to get the global menu app
[19:54] <kroq-gar78> : lok at Gazneth's post
[19:54] <[snake]> I think I'll just keep my gnome apps anyways... they don't bother me that much.
[19:54] <zykotick9> uhonia, try "sudo apt-get -f install" - but use PASTEBIN not the channel for multi-line pasting
[19:54] <kroq-gar78> [snake]: unless you hav ereplacements, don't remove them I suggest
[19:54] <uhonia> gotcha
[19:54] <niels__> hej
[19:55] <nicofs> I try to encode something using ffmpeg and libx264 and all i get is "Unknown encoder 'libx264'" what do i do? (libx264 is installed - i checked)
[19:55] <kroq-gar78> nicofs: sudo apt-get install libx264
[19:55] <coz_> nicofs,   sudo apt-get install  ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:56] <kroq-gar78> nicofs: sudo apt-get install libx264-106
[19:57] <nicofs> kroq-gar78, coz_ thanks, but as i said, it is installed...
[19:57] <coz_> nicofs,  oof  didnt see that part
[19:57] <coz_> nicofs,  what command are you using with ffmpeg?
[19:58] <kroq-gar78> gosh why does XCHAT keep crashing :|
[19:59] <YankDownUnder> kroq-gar78, are you using "Xchat" or "Gnome Xchat" ?
[19:59] <kroq-gar78> YankDownUnder: gnome xchat
[19:59] <coz_> kroq-gar78,  is it crashing or closing?
[19:59] <kroq-gar78> it crashed once when opening prefs
[19:59] <YankDownUnder> kroq-gar78, If you ditch that and use the "proper" xchat, you might not have the same issues.
[19:59] <coz_> ah
[20:00] <kroq-gar78> coz_: closing.
[20:00] <nicofs> coz_, i'm using a script because i don't want to be bothered with ffmpeg commands - but the script uses "-vcodec libx264"
[20:00] <kroq-gar78> coz_: but isnt that crashing if it wasn't supposed to close?
[20:00] <YankDownUnder> kroq-gar78, Most likely it's freaking out at the GTK theme settings...
[20:00] <Pin> Guys if i install Gnome 3.0 unto my Ubuntu 11.04 can I still use ubuntu Classic mode?
[20:00] <coz_> kroq-gar78,  ok are you sure,, and I am just guessing,, that you arenot hitting some keybinding that might close out of it?  I do it all the time with xchat
[20:00] <blade> kroq-gar78, i use Xchat and have never once had a problem with it
[20:00] <MrUnagi> what is the default firewall in ubuntu
[20:00] <YankDownUnder> Pin, No.
[20:00] <coz_> kroq-gar78,  well unless you are hitting a keybinding
[20:00] <YankDownUnder> MrUnagi, ufw
[20:00] <Pin> no?
[20:00] <kroq-gar78> YankDownUnder: ok. what's th epackage for xchat?
[20:01] <kroq-gar78> coz_ what would that keybinding be?
[20:01] <YankDownUnder> kroq-gar78, It's just called "Xchat"
[20:01] <blade> i need to be in shell command line with no x running ... how do i do it?
[20:01] <coz_> MrUnagi,   iptales
[20:01] <coz_> no
[20:01] <YankDownUnder> blade, Remove GDM
[20:01] <coz_> MrUnagi,   iptables
[20:01] <MrUnagi> iptables or ufw =(
[20:01] <sudokill> MrUnagi, ufw is
[20:01] <YankDownUnder> !ufw
[20:01] <kroq-gar78> YankDownUnder: NOT remove X, just exit (I think)
[20:01] <coz_> kroq-gar78,  :) I have yet to figure out the combinations that keep closing it for me
[20:01] <Pin> Ok thank you
[20:02] <z3r0> is there anyway of getting back a previous pts after losing the terminal?
[20:02] <kroq-gar78> coz_: k ty for the help ;) how do I open xchat? is it command line?
[20:02] <zykotick9> blade, to stop Xorg/GDM use the command "sudo service gdm stop"
[20:02] <blade> YankDownUnder,  i only need to be there long enough to input a few commands
[20:02] <coz_> kroq-gar78,  no  it should be in the menus  under Internet
[20:02] <YankDownUnder> blade, ALT-F1
[20:02] <coz_> kroq-gar78,  just install it
[20:02] <kroq-gar78> coz_ k ty
[20:02] <blade> zykotick9, i have tried that one and it did not shut down x all the way
[20:02] <coz_> kroq-gar78,  I think you will eventually appreciate xchat far more than gnome-xchat
[20:02] <sudokill> kroq-gar78, just click the icon or type xchat in terminal
[20:02] <nicofs> coz_, apparently, the ffmpeg provided by ubuntu doesn't have h264...
[20:03] <blade> YankDownUnder, during boot alt f1
[20:03] <coz_> nicofs,  which command were you using?
[20:03] <blade> ?
[20:03] <kroq-gar78> sudokill: k ty ;)
[20:03] <coz_> nicofs,  let me test it here with default ffmpeg
[20:03] <YankDownUnder> ALT-F1 => login as root, do: /etc/init.d/gdm stop => run your whatevers => then do /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[20:03] <zykotick9> YankDownUnder, that's outdated commands
[20:04] <coz_> or   sudo restart gdm
[20:04] <kroq-gar78> I'm installing xchat and this is what happened: "WARNING: Failed to parse default value `' for schema (/schemas/apps/devhelp/state/main/contents/books_disabled)" it still installed but what it mean? should I be worried?
[20:04] <YankDownUnder> zykotick9, They still work.
[20:04] <nicofs> coz_, "ffmpeg -i \"#{file}\" -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -b 800k -s #{osize[0]}x#{osize[1]} -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k -ac 2 \"#{file}.n900.mp4\"
[20:04] <zykotick9> YankDownUnder, still outdated ;)
[20:04] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: how do I kill X if I'm using LXDE?
[20:04] <YankDownUnder> zykotick9, If it works,it's not outdated.
[20:04] <blade> kroq-gar78, failed to parse means you typed something wrong
[20:04] <coz_> nicofs,   ok let me see if I can test that here
[20:04] <kroq-gar78> blade: but it installed...
[20:05] <zykotick9> kroq-gar78, do you have a login manager?  which one?  if not, you can use alt+sysrq(usually print screen)+k
[20:05] <blade> YankDownUnder, zykotick9  how do i stop boot from going into x .... i an NOT running dual boot
[20:06] <nicofs> coz_, i did "ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg" and the output didn't contain h264 - so i guess it's not included in ubuntu h264...
[20:06] <zykotick9> blade, to prevent GDM from starting temporarily rename /etc/init/gdm to /etc/init/gdm.disabled - then rename it back to have it start again.
[20:06] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: k ty for the info. On alot of my old comps, I just don't install gdm/xdm/kdm/slim/lxdm/whateverdm. ty for the info. If I AM running a dm (e.g. lxdm) what command should I use?
[20:07] <cyperbg> how can  check the permissions of a hidden folder? - .ssh
[20:07] <zykotick9> kroq-gar78, i'm not sure what DM lxde uses?  but the command is "sudo service DMHERE stop"
[20:07] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: ll 'folder'
[20:07] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: k ty dude ;)
[20:07] <coz_> nicofs,  apparenlty I get unreconized option vocodec
[20:07] <blade> zykotick9, what ever happened to the good old days of ctrl alt f2 at boot up?
[20:07] <coz_> nicofs,   vcodec rather
[20:07] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: where 'folder' is .ssh
[20:08] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78  I got it
[20:08] <cyperbg> and also how can I set the permissions for that folder to be only read and writeable by ME
[20:08] <nicofs> coz_, but that is a standard ffmpeg parameter...
[20:08] <zykotick9> blade, you can still use VTs, not sure that will help you (as GDM/etc. would still be running)
[20:08] <kroq-gar78> chmod 700 .ssh
[20:08] <coz_> nicofs,  that was libx264  ..yes?
[20:09] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 10X
[20:09] <blade> zykotick9, so in order for me to fix this.... i first need to break it more?
[20:09] <zykotick9> blade, what are you doing?
[20:09] <cyperbg> drwx------  2 cyper cyper 4096 2011-07-24 19:01 ./
[20:09] <cyperbg> drwxr-xr-x 39 cyper cyper 4096 2011-07-24 19:03 ../
[20:09] <cyperbg> -rw-------  1 cyper cyper  210 2011-07-24 19:01 authorized_keys
[20:09] <kroq-gar78> nicofs: sudo apt-get install libx264-106?
[20:09] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 does it look ok?
[20:09] <blade> zykotick9, killing RandR
[20:09] <cyperbg> what is the difference between ./ and ../
[20:10] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: do chmod -R 700, and otherwise yes
[20:10] <blade> zykotick9, and i can not be in x to do it
[20:10] <zykotick9> blade, oh this is some ATI issue isn't it?
[20:10] <coz_> nicofs,   apparenlty I have libx264 by default on ubuntu 11.04  or after installing ffmpeg
[20:10] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: ./ is the current folder, ../ is the upper folder
[20:10] <blade> zykotick9, NO this is an ubuntu issue
[20:10] <coz_> nicofs,  something must be up on that end if it did no t install
[20:10] <zykotick9> blade, ok sorry, are you are using ATI?
[20:11] <op_amp> Hi, just like we have different desktop can't we have different panel at bottom which only shows the item opened in the current active window, not all windows
[20:11] <blade> zykotick9, yes
[20:11] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 so in that case it is not showing the permissions of SSH?
[20:11] <nicofs> kroq-gar78, as i said it is installed...
[20:11] <blade> zykotick9, i know you dont like ati
[20:11] <kroq-gar78> nicofs: oh vsry didnt see that...
[20:11] <blade> zykotick9, i will not tell anyone you helped me
[20:11] <zykotick9> blade, ok - I'm not going to provide any further assistance in this regard.  Please ignore everything I've said up until this point.  Someone else can better assist you.
[20:11] <nicofs> coz_, what apart from apt-get install ffmpeg ubuntu-restricted-formats /-codecs do i need to do...?
[20:11] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: what do you mean? I dont
[20:11] <coz_> nicofs,  I am puzzled then
[20:12] <kroq-gar78> know much about ssh...
[20:12] <kroq-gar78> :(
[20:12] <blade> zykotick9,  lol
[20:12] <coz_> nicofs,  not sure,,  this is definitly puzzling
[20:12] <blade> zykotick9, may i ask why you hate ATI so much?
[20:12] <rww> heh, looks like zykotick9 has the same attitude about ATI as I have about NVIDIA
[20:12] <coz_> nicofs,  is the command correct in useage?
[20:12] <kroq-gar78> rww: LOLOLOLOLOLOL
[20:12] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 I am in /home/cyper/ and execute ll .ssh So is .ssh ./ ? and foler cyper ./
[20:12] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 I am in /home/cyper/ and execute ll .ssh So is .ssh ./ ? and foler cyper .//
[20:12] <zykotick9> blade, see rww's comment above ;)
[20:13] <sudokill> rww just cant afford nvidia card
[20:13] <sudokill> :)
[20:13] <coz_> nicofs,  rather in syntax
[20:13] <rww> sudokill: I assure you, I can :)
[20:13] <blade> rww, thing is that ATI is working great.... it's RandR that is messing up
[20:13] <sudokill> :p
[20:13] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: in that case, ./ will be cyper and ../ will be /home
[20:13] <nicofs> coz_, i assume it is - but i think it should be if ffmpeg is able to return the error of not finding the specified codec...
[20:13] <kroq-gar78> cypber: you ARE in /home/cyperbg, right? not /home/cyperbg/.shh?
[20:13] <blade> zykotick9, yes i seen it but that still dont tell me why you hate ATI.... did they run over your dog or something?
[20:13] <coz_> nicofs,  first think I would check is the syntax ,, that may be the only issue
[20:13] <cyperbg> so I need to enter .ssh and do ll .ssh
[20:14] <sudokill> cyperbg, do you have no gui?
[20:14] <kroq-gar78> cypberbg: no. just ll .ssh and ./ will be .ssh. sorry
[20:14] <zykotick9> blade, that's an OT question sorry.
[20:14] <kroq-gar78> sudokill: good to know some cli stuffs :)
[20:14] <cyperbg> sudokill I have Gnome
[20:14] <sudokill> just saying
[20:14] <zykotick9> blade, No dogs where harmed in forming my hatred of ATI ;)
[20:15] <sudokill> if your confused just right click it in the fm
[20:15] <sudokill> itll tell you permissions
[20:15] <blade> zykotick9, i guess my point is this.... ubuntu is all about people helping people.... and in order to get help from you i have to be cryptic.... but irc rules say to just come out and ask the question.... but i cant if i know that someone that i know to have the answer will not give it ....
[20:15] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 so from /home/cyper/ I do ll .ssh
[20:15] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: ok sorry. ifyou do 'll .ssh' then './' will be '.ssh' and '../' will be cyper
[20:15] <kroq-gar78> so yes
[20:15] <rww> blade: Ubuntu's Code of Conduct also says to respect each other. Going against someone's wishes isn't really respectful :P
[20:15] <zykotick9> blade, helpers are volunteers here - we can choose to support or not.
[20:16] <edwardthefma> sup all
[20:16] <cyperbg> so then drwx------  2 cyper cyper 4096 2011-07-24 19:01 ./   -  Does it mean it is only only read and writeable by me?
[20:16] <blade> rww, awww #!%#@!$ i give up lol
[20:16] <coz_> that was a bit of a convolution
[20:16] <nicofs> coz_, as far as i see it, the syntax is ok...
[20:16] <kroq-gar78> cypberbg: hmm.... no.... do chmod 700 .ssh again and then do 'll .ssh'
[20:17] <blade> zykotick9, i understand that i just wanted to understand the passion behind the hate i guess....
[20:17] <kroq-gar78> I mean chmod -R 700 .ssh
[20:17] <coz_> nicofs,  ok I am officially puzzled,,  either stick around and see if someone more skilled with ffmpeg  an swers or try another channel , maybe  ##linux,,
[20:17] <edwardthefma> im trying to find lubuntu 9.10
[20:17] <edwardthefma> :(
[20:17] <zykotick9> blade, and that is offtopic for this channel.
[20:17] <kroq-gar78> !offtopic | blade
[20:17] <blade> zykotick9, ok you win
[20:17] <blade> lol
[20:17] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 - I did sudo chmod 700 .ssh and got drwx------  2 cyper cyper 4096 2011-07-24 19:01 ./
[20:18] <coz_> edwardthefma,  was there an lubuntu 9.10 ?
[20:18] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: DONT do 'sudo' chmod. just do 'chmod 700 -R .ssh' and then 'll .ssh'
[20:18] <coz_> edwardthefma,  nevermind apparenlty there was
[20:18] <iosolidar> blade: why would that be off topic for the channel?
[20:18] <edwardthefma> coz thare was
[20:18] <nicofs> coz_, i think, i'll purge ffmpeg and compile myself...
[20:18] <rww> edwardthefma: http://download.lxde.org/lubuntu-9.10/ , perhaps? Though I note Lubuntu didn't become an official channel until natty or oneiric, so...
[20:18] <rww> s/channel/derivative/
[20:18] <spankbot> .
[20:19] <coz_> nicofs,  that might be the solultion,,, see what parameters you can compile that with also
[20:19] <edwardthefma> im trying to install it on a older pc i have
[20:19] <blade> iosolidar, cuz he feels i tricked him into helping me with an issue
[20:19] <kroq-gar78> !pastebin | cyperbg

[20:19] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 only short lines :)
[20:19] <spankbot> Interesting, I've installed VMWare workstation, when I start the app, I'm getting the error "Befor you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernet
[20:19] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: just do 'll'
[20:19] <kroq-gar78> plain 'll' no argumentsx
[20:20] <spankbot> sp.. kernel, GCC 4.6.0 version was not found
[20:20] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 after I enter .ssh?
[20:20] <spankbot> this is a fresh install 64bit and the same disk I used on another machine that worked just fine.
[20:20] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: doesn't really matter. actually just type in 'pwd' and post the output
[20:20] <cyperbg> Just ll = drwx------  2 cyper cyper     4096 2011-07-24 19:01 .ssh/
[20:20] <coz_> edwardthefma,  so far I am only finding it as a torrent
[20:20] <cyperbg> pwd = /home/cyper
[20:21] <kroq-gar78> cypberbg: oh wait it's been right this whole time :|
[20:21] <edwardthefma> coz i found it
[20:21] <kroq-gar78> sorry
[20:21] <coz_> edwardthefma,  cool
[20:21] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 so drwx------  2 cyper cyper means it is readable and writable only by me?
[20:21] <edwardthefma> hopfully this pc will acepptet it
[20:21] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: yes. sorry
[20:22] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 10x - btw do you have any xperience with SSH + Putty + private/public keys
[20:22] <edwardthefma> i know it had 9.10 ubuntu on it but is dissliked 10 and 11
[20:22] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: no :/ someone else will have to help u with that...
[20:22] <cyperbg> kroq-gar78 thank you :)
[20:23] <kroq-gar78> cyperbg: np
[20:24] <coz_> nicofs,  are you going to download ffmpeg git ...yes?
[20:26] <nicofs> coz_, seems i have no choice... but since i'm en route to munich via the former GDR, download is not fast...
[20:26] <coz_> nicofs,  understood
[20:27] <nicofs> coz_, 6,700 B/s ...
[20:28] <coz_> nicofs,  yep :)
[20:29] <coz_> nicofs,  I also believe that libx264 comes with vlc  ,, for some reason that is sticking in my head
[20:29] <coz_> nicofs,  ah found this    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[20:29] <nicofs> coz_, it comes with vlc - and it's there...
[20:30] <cyperbg> guys I'm looking for someone who is willing to help with setting up Putty to connect using public/private keys to my Ubuntu machine. I've tried 2-3 different tutorials and each time I get Server refused our key
[20:30] <coz_> nicofs,  ok that last link seems to be "fairly" complete with additional parameters for compiling along with the necessary dependecies
[20:31] <nicofs> coz_, i just checked another ffmpeg script i wrote way back - which worked then - and it uses the same vcodec parameter...
[20:32] <coz_> nicofs,  ok so we know it was not the command,, darn,, that would have made it much simpler :)
[20:32] <nicofs> coz_, we all know murphy's law...
[20:33] <coz_> nicofs,  found this on the ffmpeg site as well   http://www.inb.uni-luebeck.de/~boehme/using_libavcodec.html   may be handy
[20:34] <coz_> nicofs,  i wasnt aware of the   av_register_all();
[20:46] <AlexDevilLX> Hi all
[20:47] <alex--> Is there any control panel I can use for my homeserver?
[20:47] <MrUnagi> how do i open port 143
[20:48] <naptastic> I'm having a really hard time getting a good Ubuntu CD / drive combination for installation... I'm wondering if there's a way to copy the live image onto the hard drive and boot it from there, and install onto the other drive?
[20:48] <MrUnagi> !firewall
[20:49] <naptastic> Maybe could I just dd if=/the image of=/dev/emptypartition and then chainload it from grub?
[20:50] <barf> How do I do this: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ap01_:_Miscellaneous_Linux_Topics#Configuration_Steps_2
[20:50] <barf> the inittab part in ubuntu?
[20:51] <alex--> MrUnagi: depends on which firewall
[20:51] <MrUnagi> whatever the default is
[20:51] <MrUnagi> i guess ufw
[20:51] <alex--> can also be the firewall of your router
[20:51] <MrUnagi> im checking via localhost
[20:52] <MrUnagi> i still can't get 143 open
[20:53] <RiRa> how safe can you mix ubuntu 10.04 with ubuntu 11.04 the first test seems to work fine. why. its the only way to get gnome 2.32.1 back.
[20:54] <BluesKaj> coz_, nicofs , the info I've been reading so far indicates that the medibuntu repos ffmpeg has the latest x264 encode/decode caability ...is this relavent ?
[20:54] <coz_> BluesKaj,  excellent:)
[20:55] <coz_> BluesKaj,  I think that will help I think he is going to compile ffmpeg inlcuding the current codecs etc  so we will see
[20:55] <willluongo> Hello, hopefully this is an easy and somewhat foolish question, but I am running Ubuntu Server 10.04 and I installed Gnome for vnc purposes. However, the problem is that I have tried multiple things to change the run level so that gnome only starts manually. update-rc.d, rcconf, and chkconfig seem to be failing me. Is it not GDM I need to disable anymore? And if there is something else I need to do, is there a document or oth
[20:56] <BluesKaj> git can be a pita sometimes tho , coz_ ..i'm not surprised he had errors
[20:57] <coz_> BluesKaj,  agreed,, although for some reason my install the problems he had were not occuring ,, but I guess that is not unusual
[20:57] <dr_willis> willluongo:  you rename/disable gdm via the /etc/init/gdm.conf file
[20:57] <kjeldor> hello, I am trying to do this: http://www.wikihow.com/Access-Windows-Files-in-Ubuntu
[20:57] <dr_willis> willluongo:  the old sysv methods have been replaced by upstart. Also you an use the 'text' grub option to make sure gdm never starts
[20:57] <kjeldor> but im stuck at #6
[20:58] <kjeldor> i cant unmount the device
[20:58] <BluesKaj> no coz_ with git compiles ..in my experience , it's 50-50 ..but suppose it's worth a try
[20:58] <kjeldor> it says it is mounted by /host. any ideas?
[20:59] <willluongo> dr_willis: deleting the init/gdm.conf file did the trick
[20:59] <MrUnagi> sudo ufw allow 143 doesn't open 143 am i missing something
[20:59] <willluongo> Thank you very much dr_willis!
[20:59] <kjeldor> can anybody help me to unmount my sda2 ?
[21:00] <kjeldor> it says it is mounted at /host thats why i cant unmount it
[21:00] <kjeldor> any ideas how i can unmount this?
[21:01] <kjeldor> i am stuck at #6 of http://www.wikihow.com/Access-Windows-Files-in-Ubuntu because it is already mounted
[21:02] <willluongo> kjeldor: did you already try an lsof? are you in that directory?
[21:02] <bonefish> can dpkg find, download, and install a library file automatically if i know the library name i need?
[21:02] <willluongo> bonefish: I think you would usually use apt-get or aptitude or some other package manager for that
[21:02] <kjeldor> willluongo: nope, how?
[21:03] <willluongo> kjeldor: lsof | grep $NAMEOFFOLDER
[21:03] <willluongo> replacing $NAMEOFFOLDER with the actual folder name
[21:03] <toumbo> Hi!PoepleIs anyone available to tell my story conserning installation/uninstallation of Nvidia driver so he can hepl me with my problem?I think to do this to not spam the channel
[21:03] <willluongo> that will tell you what is using it?
[21:03] <bonefish> well the situation is, ive installed wireshark, but when trying to run it i get the "error loading shared libraries: libsutil.so.0, so such file/directory"
[21:03] <willluongo> oops, not a question
[21:03] <bonefish> ive tried downloading it through apt-get
[21:03] <willluongo> what did you try in apt? bonefish
[21:03] <MrUnagi> !ports
[21:04] <bonefish> but apt-get doesn't find it
[21:04] <kjeldor> lsof | grep $windrv ?
[21:04] <willluongo> kjeldor: no
[21:04] <willluongo> whereever you have it mounted
[21:04] <kjeldor>  /host
[21:05] <willluongo> grep for /host then
[21:05] <kjeldor>  /host is its mount point
[21:06] <bonefish> willluango: yes ive tried it in apt-get, but can't find it there
[21:06] <kjeldor> ok done..
[21:06] <kjeldor> now ill do step 6?
[21:06] <willluongo> kjeldor: did it show anything?
[21:06] <kjeldor> nothing
[21:07] <willluongo> bonefish: do you have that library on your system? maybe it is just in the wrong directory
[21:07] <kjeldor> kjeldor@ubuntu:~$ lsof | grep $/host
[21:07] <kjeldor> kjeldor@ubuntu:~$ lsof | grep /host
[21:07] <kjeldor> i did both actually, nothing showed
[21:07] <bonefish> willluongo: not sure, how do i check?
[21:08] <willluongo> sudo updatedb and then locate
[21:08] <willluongo> locate libsutil.so.0
[21:08] <bonefish> k
[21:08] <hypodermia> you know, i've noticed that unity automatically maximizes any new window that's close to filling the screen (but not quite). it's an annoying behavior i'd like to prevent. anybody know how?
[21:08] <kjeldor> tried to unmount it again using gparted, still didnt work
[21:09] <willluongo> Did you mount it?
[21:09] <kjeldor> no need to unmount?
[21:09] <kjeldor> ill do step 6 now?
[21:09] <willluongo> kjeldor: did you mount it yourself?
[21:09] <bonefish> willuongo: okay ran the locate command, no response from the line
[21:09] <willluongo> bonefish: did you updatedb first?
[21:09] <kjeldor> ah nope, i was mounted automatically
[21:09] <bonefish> yep
[21:10] <kjeldor> it*
[21:10] <willluongo> bonefish: yeah so you don't have it
[21:11] <willluongo> bonefish: did you install wireshark with apt?
[21:11] <bonefish> yep
[21:11] <dr_willis> hypodermia:  i dont notice that here.. but i am testing the next release i just rembered... :)
[21:11] <bonefish> ive tried removing and reinstalling
[21:11] <bonefish> but same prob
[21:11] <dr_willis> hypodermia:  most likely its controlled by a compiz plugin.
[21:11] <bonefish> and doing apt-get check doesn't find it missing any dependcies
[21:11] <kjeldor> willluongo: I was following the instructions on the website how to view windows files on ubuntu. and lead me to that, got stuck on some parts... so went here to ask for help
[21:12] <hypodermia> dr_willis: oh i'm sure. this bug is related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/769781
[21:12] <MrUnagi> i am unable to telnet to 143 with connection refused, any way to troubleshoot this?
[21:12] <willluongo> kjeldor: if you run the command mount, what does it show?
[21:12] <debd> where does xstarfish save the files??
[21:12] <bonefish> mrunagi: it means it didn't like your aunthentication
[21:12] <MrUnagi> there was no authentication
[21:12] <dr_willis> !info xstarfish
[21:13] <dr_willis> debd:  check its man pages yet?
[21:13] <MrUnagi> authentication happens after conenction
[21:13] <debd> dr_willis: yeah
[21:13] <debd> dr_willis:  no info up there
[21:13] <tp43_> my screen on my laptop goes blank, and now even when I reboot, the screen stays blank.  It is dual boot and windows is working fine
[21:13] <kjeldor> * zilla (~mike@vpn.tummy.com) has joined
[21:13] <bonefish> mrunagi: try going to port 23 not 123
[21:14] <debd> dr_willis:  not in ~ or ~/pitures either
[21:14] <dr_willis> debd:  xstarfish --help says ---> -o,--outfile:  Specify an output file.
[21:15] <kjeldor> willluongo: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be indentified for example by the help of the "fuser" command
[21:15] <willluongo> kjeldor: please run the command 'mount' without any options or flag
[21:16] <kjeldor> this is what i typed: kjeldor@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/windrv -o "umask=022"
[21:16] <willluongo> kjeldor: please type mount
[21:16] <willluongo> by itself
[21:16] <kjeldor> done
[21:16] <micks_> hey! can someone tell me how to search for _all_ files of a particular type (in a directory) within nautilus?
[21:16] <debd> dr_willis:  thanks! the info isnt present in the man xstarfish though... :o
[21:16] <micks_> i.e. all videos in /home/micks
[21:16] <willluongo> kjeldor: what did it say?
[21:16] <tp43_> Anyone know how to fix it?
[21:16] <kjeldor> very long... shall I paste here?
[21:16] <bonefish> micks: use *."filetype"
[21:17] <dr_willis> debd:  odd.. its got the same info here.. im on the 11.10 release however.
[21:17] <willluongo> use pastebin kjeldor
[21:17] <bonefish> the * is a wildcard for all files with the ".filetype"
[21:17] <micks_> bonefish: as in mime types
[21:17] <kjeldor> how to use pastebin?
[21:17] <kjeldor> forgot already many years ago since last used
[21:17] <willluongo> !paste
[21:17] <cypha> how difficult would it be to turn a ubuntu server into normal ubuntu?
[21:17] <micks_> *.movs, *.avis, etc
[21:18] <bonefish> exactlyh
[21:18] <dr_willis> cypha:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop          go get coffee... done...
[21:18] <tp43_> Cypha same thing
[21:18] <tp43_> cypha, all you gotta do is type "sudo apt-get install gnome"
[21:18] <cypha> dr_willis, can I choose whether to start X or not?
[21:18] <dr_willis> cypha:  this is linux.. of course you can. :)
[21:18] <cypha> so sometimes I can use it as a server, and sometimes as a full desktop
[21:18] <dr_willis> disable the gdm service, or use the 'text' grub option.
[21:19] <bonefish> willuongo: so how do i go about downloading/installing the library i need since its not on my machine
[21:19] <kjeldor> willluongo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/651406/
[21:19] <tp43_> My Ubuntu doesn't even start anymore, I was typing, and the screen went blank, then reboot, and again went blank, and now won't even start up
[21:19] <dr_willis> cypha:  theres really no differance in using it as a 'server' or desktop'.  its just running X when you are using the desktop.
[21:19] <micks_> might it be possible that you actually cant do this in nautilus?
[21:19] <willluongo> bonefish: I am sorry, I don't actually know, it doesn't come up show up in any package search I found
[21:19] <bonefish> hmm okay
[21:19] <dr_willis> cypha:  unless you want to get into the fancier server kernels and other server-specific stuff.
[21:20] <cypha> dr_willis, "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" or "sudo aptitude install gnome"?
[21:20] <ole> test
[21:20] <bonefish> the 1st5
[21:20] <dr_willis> cypha:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop         is wha ti use.
[21:20] <willluongo> kjeldor: what is in the /host directory when you do an ls?
[21:20] <bonefish> gnome is just your gui
[21:20] <micks_> because the ctrl-f always needs atleast one character to perform a search, although restricted to one filetype
[21:20] <cypha> dr_willis, well, I'm currently using it as a server, ssh'ing in via putty
[21:21] <dr_willis> cypha:  that really dosent mean a lot from a 'server' point of view. :) you are just running the ssh service..
[21:21] <cypha> and I putty in because cut and paste sucks in the console
[21:21] <kjeldor> willluongo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/651408/
[21:21] <dr_willis> cypha:  using it as a 'server'  means you are not running X? :) thats a bit of a  odd definition of a server..
[21:21] <cypha> so, instead of all that, I figure I can just use X when I want
[21:22] <willluongo> kjeldor: you already have access to the files
[21:22] <dr_willis> cypha:  install gpm for the console, and you get mouse ussage/cut/pasteing
[21:22] <cypha> dr_willis, well, Ubuntu-Server comes without X
[21:22] <cypha> dr_willis, I have gpm
[21:22] <cypha> but vbox guest additions isn't compatible with that
[21:22] <kjeldor> willluongo: how can i access it "graphically"?
[21:22] <cypha> (that = gpm)
[21:22] <dr_willis> cypha:  you can also ssh in, and have xming on the windows box. and run X apps that appear on the windows box. - a handy trick
[21:22] <willluongo> kjeldor: open places and navigate to /host
[21:22] <tp43_> I got a serious issue, my screen stays blank, I can't boot
[21:22] <cypha> oooh, that sounds cool
[21:22] <kjeldor> willluongo: thanks!
[21:22] <cypha> got any instructions on how to do that?
[21:22] <willluongo> kjeldor: you are welcome
[21:23] <tp43_> And I can't get a text console either
[21:23] <edbian_> tp43_: If you press shift during boot do you get a grub menu?
[21:23] <dr_willis> cypha:  ive even seen some ubuntu variants that install in windows and auto-set that up. but i cant recall their names. and they are not officially supported here.
[21:23] <tp43_> edbian_, well, I get grub without shift, cause I can boot windows, but ubuntu doesn't boot
[21:23] <dr_willis> cypha:  install xming on windows.. ssh in, or use the xming wizard..  be sure X forwarding is enabled.. run X app...
[21:23] <edbian_> tp43_: have you tried adding nomodeset
[21:23] <edbian_> ?
[21:24] <FrozenFire> I'm working on setting up a Ubuntu Server system as my home router, but I'm having some major issues with basic network configuration. First and foremost, I cannot seem to get my modem-facing NIC to lease an IP from DHCP. I have it configured auto eth1; iface eth1 inet dhcp
[21:24] <tp43_> edbian_, never heard of it, how do I do that?
[21:24] <edbian_> tp43_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132  this explains it in detail.
[21:24] <FrozenFire> When I bring it down and then back up, it sits for a while, probably trying to grab and IP, but then it fails to do so
[21:24] <edbian_> tp43_: You wanna do 'hHow to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)'
[21:24] <cypha> dr_willis, cool, I'll look into that
[21:24] <edbian_> tp43_: What questions do you have?
[21:24] <tp43_> edbian_, it used to work, for over a year, it a recent thing
[21:24] <cypha> dr_willis, are you a system admin in real life?
[21:25] <edbian_> tp43_: sure, add nomodeset
[21:25] <dr_willis> cypha:  nope.
[21:25] <edbian_> tp43_: also, that is not a question
[21:25] <cypha> developer?
[21:25] <anli_> When I use ./configure for gtk+-2.22.0, I get a message about GdkPixbuf being of version 2.18.0, but in synaptic, I can see its 2.22.0
[21:25] <edbian_> dr_willis: sure you are!  Of all the Ubuntu systems for people in #ubuntu
[21:25]  * edbian_ is a developer but not a paid one
[21:25] <dr_willis> cypha:  i work for chrysler in a factory.. nothing to do with computers at all. ;)
[21:25] <anli_> There is a bunch of other messages like this
[21:25] <cypha> no freaking way
[21:25] <dr_willis> so if you want to repay me.. go buy a minivan. :)
[21:25] <edbian_> A person with a Linux hobby!?!?  Unheard of.
[21:25] <cypha> u always have the answer when I get in here
[21:26] <edbian_> dr_willis is good...
[21:26] <dr_willis> cypha:  im also ircing half the time from work.... :)
[21:26] <cypha> yeah
[21:26] <tp43_> edbian_, thanks
[21:26] <edbian_> tp43_: did it fix the problem?
[21:26] <cypha> dr_willis, how does your phone not die with irc running?
[21:26] <MrUnagi> are there multiple firewalls in ubuntu or something
[21:26] <kjeldor> willluongo: can you help me to navigate to "places" and then /host .... im lost with this new look and feel of ubuntu
[21:26] <edbian_> MrUnagi: iptables is the only one.
[21:26] <dr_willis> cypha:  power charger. :)
[21:26] <tp43_> edbian_, not yet, gonna try, I am sure it will
[21:26] <dr_willis> MrUnagi:  theres no firewalls installed by default.
[21:26] <willluongo> sure
[21:26] <MrUnagi> !firewall
[21:26] <cypha> aah
[21:26] <edbian_> tp43_: Ha, don't be too sure!
[21:27] <dr_willis> MrUnagi:  well theres no enabled RULES for the firewall by default.. is more correct.
[21:27] <willluongo> kjeldor: places >> computer >> file system >> host
[21:27] <tp43_> edbian_, well, I never knew about pressing 'e' so that was a nice tidbit already
[21:27] <edbian_> dr_willis: are iptables and ufw different firewalls?
[21:27] <edbian_> tp43_: :)
[21:27] <MrUnagi> no matter what i do, i cannot get 143 opened
[21:27] <dr_willis> ufw = a front end to iptables which controlls the standard firewalling freatures of the kernel
[21:27] <edbian_> dr_willis: thanks
[21:27] <TrentH> How do i install java?
[21:28] <zykotick9> !java | TrentH
[21:28] <MrUnagi> so then there iptables controlled by ufw controlled by gufw?
[21:28] <MrUnagi> that seems convoluted
[21:28] <kjeldor> willluongo: found it!
[21:28] <kjeldor> willluongo: thanks again
[21:28] <willluongo> kjeldor: Congrats! and you are welcome :)
[21:28] <edbian_> MrUnagi: Just don't use ufw and gufw and it isn't convoluted
[21:28] <MrUnagi> iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 143 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT……….still no 143 open
[21:28] <MrUnagi> what am i missing here
[21:29] <anli_> Can I use aptitude to do a dist upgrade?
[21:29] <TrentH> How do I enable the repostiorys?
[21:29] <edbian_> TrentH: 11.04 ?
[21:29] <MrUnagi> !repo
[21:29] <TrentH> I got them enabled nvm
[21:29] <edbian_> TrentH: yay
[21:29] <TrentH> I just typ'd in sun-java6 and nothing shows up in synaptic
[21:29] <zykotick9> anli_, do you know what a dist-upgrade is?  It won't bring you to the next version of Ubuntu if that's what you want.
[21:29] <MrUnagi> edbian_: dr_willis iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 143 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT still doesn't open 143 am i missing something
[21:30] <dr_willis> TrentH:  its in the partners repoiostory
[21:30] <zykotick9> TrentH, "sudo apt-get update" after adding the repository.
[21:30] <TrentH> what is the name of the repostiroy?
[21:30] <tp43_> edbian_, nope, nomodeset didn't help, same blank screen for ages
[21:30] <dr_willis> MrUnagi:  means little to me. i rarely use firewall rules. my router handles it..  if you flush all the rules, there shouldent be any thing on the linux side blocking the ports.
[21:30] <zykotick9> TrentH, Partner
[21:30] <anli_> zykotick9: oh, how do I do that then?
[21:30] <TrentH> How do I add it?
[21:30] <edbian_> tp43_: can you boot recovery mode?
[21:30] <zykotick9> !partner | TrentH
[21:31] <tp43_> edbian_, duh, I shouldn't tried that one already, 2mins
[21:31] <dr_willis> MrUnagi:  you trying to use port 145 over the internet? or a local lan? whats port 145 anyway, i forget..
[21:31] <edbian_> tp43_: Try removing splash and quiet with nomodeset there
[21:31] <zykotick9> !upgrade | anli_
[21:31] <edbian_> tp43_: sure :)
[21:31] <MrUnagi> 143
[21:31] <MrUnagi> imap
[21:31] <dr_willis> whats imap for? dosent sound familer.
[21:31] <MrUnagi> mail
[21:31] <TrentH> Alright I enabled it :)
[21:31] <edbian_> dr_willis: 0.o
[21:32] <dr_willis> i'll mail my pc thats in the  basement. :)
[21:32] <zykotick9> TrentH, then "sudo apt-get update" then have a look in Synaptic/U.S.C. for java
[21:32] <cypha> how many more gigs is ubuntu desktop than ubuntu server?
[21:32] <dr_willis> cypha:  full desktop install i think is about 4gb.
[21:32] <zykotick9> dr_willis, IMAP is really handy in compared to POP as it leaves the mails on the server (yes POP can be configured that way too)
[21:32] <TrentH> !java
[21:32] <anli_> zykotick9: the disadvantage of using update-manager is that my update-manager is fubared
[21:32] <cypha> damn
[21:33] <zykotick9> anli_, there is a cli way to upgrade.  Does anyone know?
[21:33] <MrUnagi> even flushing iptables i can't freaking telnet to 143
[21:33] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  scary thing is.. i do most all my email via my android phone these days.
[21:33] <MrUnagi> !143
[21:33] <MrUnagi> !imap
[21:33] <TrentH> Alright, so I install the browser plugin how do I install the thing that'll let me play the minecrafts
[21:33] <tp43_> edbian_, same thing with recovery mode boot, I will next try and remove splash and quiet with nomodeset there
[21:33] <MrUnagi> !mailserver
[21:33] <anli_> hm, do-release-upgrade
[21:33] <zykotick9> anli_, that sounds right
[21:33] <anli_> can be promising
[21:33] <edbian_> zykotick9: anli_ sudo do-release-upgrade
[21:34] <anli_> cool
[21:34] <zykotick9> edbian_, thanks
[21:34] <dr_willis> how does that differ from 'update-manager -d'  ? oh one is a gui? ;0
[21:34] <edbian_> tp43_: ok.  I am excited
[21:34] <anli_> I wish this is a good way of un-fubaring my system
[21:34] <farresito> does anybody know which script runs paste.ubuntu.com?
[21:34] <tp43_> edbian_, hehe
[21:34] <edbian_> farresito: that is a website
[21:34] <zykotick9> anli_, if your system is not working now - it's even less likely if you try to upgrade.  Just sayin'.
[21:34] <dr_willis> farresito:  huh?  you mean what command? 'pastebinit' ?
[21:34] <tp43_> edbian_, looks like same thing, I'll another minute though
[21:35] <anli_> when do-release-upgrade comes to "Calculating the changes" my hd starts to sound like a helicopter
[21:35] <anli_> Wonder if thats healthy
[21:35] <dr_willis> anli_:  its a of calculating!
[21:35] <farresito> I mean which software. if there is an opensource relase to make my own
[21:35] <zykotick9> anli_, do you hear "clicking"?
[21:35] <anli_> No click of death, I think
[21:36] <anli_> Just some hard work
[21:36] <dr_willis> anli_:  check dmesg command output. :)
[21:36] <anli_> dr_willis: What to seek for?
[21:36] <dr_willis> anli_:  if the hd is having failings. it will show there..
[21:36] <edbian_> tp43_: Mmmm, has nomodeset and that's it?
[21:36] <zykotick9> anli_, I/O errors would be not to good ;)
[21:36] <anli_> But I dont think its failing, shall see
[21:36] <dr_willis> hopefully its not having that sort of errors...
[21:36] <tp43_> edbian_, yeah, has ro nomodeset only
[21:37] <edbian_> tp43_: mmmm, what graphics card do you have?
[21:37] <farresito> dr_willis:I mean which software. if there is an opensource relase to make my own
[21:37] <TrentH> What do I install so I can run minecraft?
[21:37] <tp43_> edbian_, not sure, it is thinkpad 43
[21:37] <zykotick9> tp43_, "lspci | grep -i vga"
[21:37] <dr_willis> farresito:  no idea - theres proberly open sourced pastebin type code out there.
[21:37] <edbian_> 11.04 ?
[21:37] <anli_> A, chopper mode finished, calculations done
[21:37] <edbian_> zykotick9: black screen on boot
[21:37] <FrozenFire> I'm working on setting up a Ubuntu Server system as my home router, but I'm having some major issues with basic network configuration. First and foremost, I cannot seem to get my modem-facing NIC to lease an IP from DHCP. I have it configured auto eth1; iface eth1 inet dhcp
[21:37] <tp43_> zykotick9, can't boot
[21:37] <FrozenFire> When I bring it down and then back up, it sits for a while, probably trying to grab and IP, but then it fails to do so
[21:37] <dr_willis> TrentH:  you mean other then the sun java packages?
[21:37] <zykotick9> edbian_, tp43_ oh sorry.
[21:37] <FrozenFire> Any ideas?
[21:37] <dr_willis> !java
[21:37] <edbian_> zykotick9: no worries
[21:38] <spetrea> hey there
[21:38] <edbian_> tp43_: While booting, does the num lock key still work?  I am trying to determine if hte system is frozen.
[21:38] <farresito> dr_willis: yeah, i know, but ubuntu's one is very clear. thanks, gonna see if i find a simple one
[21:38] <alex--> !webmin | Alex--
[21:38] <dr_willis> TrentH:  sun-java6-*  packages in the !partner repository  - for sun java. as for the game itself.. get it from its homepage i guess.
[21:38] <spetrea> I need a Perl job, tried jobs.perl.org so far but no luck
[21:38] <spetrea> anyone here got a job opening at their companies or something ?
[21:38] <tp43_> edbian_, not sue
[21:39] <tp43_> edbian_, not sure
[21:39] <edbian_> tp43_: not sure?  press it, does the light change?
[21:39] <ole> t
[21:39] <tp43_> edbian_, well, I am in grub right now, I don't see any lights when I hit num lock, but it is a laptop
[21:39] <jsiegle> Hi everyone, I just made the mistake of upgrading to 11.04, now my system boots directly to a tty, sometimes complaining that open /dev/null failed, and other times crashing for no apparent reason. Has anyone else encountered this and/or know of a way to fix it?
[21:40] <edbian_> tp43_: You don't have a numlock light.  Awesome.
[21:40] <edbian_> tp43_: Try booting with this kernel option only:  gfxpayload=text
[21:40] <anli_> jsiegle: Ah, I am coming to that point soon then :)
[21:41] <TrentH> dr_willis, thank you :)
[21:41] <jsiegle> tried the gfxpayload=text, but it didn't help
[21:41] <edbian_> tp43_: are you jsiegle ?
[21:41] <tp43_> edbian_, no, he is mistaken
[21:41] <samem> hey guys, i have win7 installed aswell with ubuntu but without the grub running with raid drives, how can i get grub working again?
[21:42] <edbian_> tp43_: Did you try gfxpayload=text  ?
[21:42] <anli_> oh, no, now I will get the distro which removed zooming in using winkey+mousewheel
[21:42] <tp43_> edbian_, yep, its going
[21:42] <edbian_> tp43_: it worked?
[21:42] <tp43_> edbian_, no I just entered it, and waiting now
[21:42] <edbian_> tp43_: The screen is black?
[21:42] <tp43_> edbian_, yeah
[21:42] <edbian_> tp43_: do you have caps lock light?  Does that key work?
[21:42] <anli_> Wonder if not 11.04 is the linux words counterpart of vista
[21:42] <edbian_> tp43_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen  I'm reading this
[21:42] <anli_> worlds
[21:43] <tp43_> edbian_, caps works
[21:43] <edbian_> tp43_: Good, the system isn't frozen.
[21:43] <edbian_> tp43_: Try this option: vesafb.nonsense=1
[21:43] <wildbat> !grub > samem
[21:44] <tp43_> edbian_, ok, lets see if that does it
[21:45] <edbian_> tp43_: sure
[21:45] <tp43_> edbian_, I guess its these upgrades, cause I used to be able to play dvd's when I first installed, but that doesn't work anymore
[21:46] <edbian_> tp43_: One thing at a time :)
[21:46] <eudaimon> hello, i'm trying to connect to windows 7 with vpn but it doesn't work for some reason. could someone take a look? http://pastebin.com/HLiRhiK2
[21:46] <TrentH> Whenever I go to run Minecraft.jar it's telling me, exception in thread "main"
[21:46] <eudaimon> please :)
[21:46] <tp43_> edbian_, no that isn't working either
[21:47] <tp43_> I'm thinking I just do a reinstall
[21:47] <tp43_> edbian: Can can I disable X from the shell in grub
[21:47] <j3roth> Question:Is there a way to see what command is run when you connect to a server like for Example: Places->Connect to Server->SSH Connection??
[21:48] <edbian_> tp43_: Do you see anything else there that I missed?
[21:49] <tp43_> edbian_, no, at this point I would like to purge all X and gnome and reinstall it
[21:49] <M4d3L> hi., is there anyway to see if a process is in a dead lock?
[21:49] <dr_willis> TrentH:  check their docs.. i belive theres a specific set of options needed to run it.
[21:49] <tp43_> edbian_, I can get a shell from grub, but not sure Iif I can apt-get
[21:49] <edbian_> tp43_: you can't
[21:49] <edbian_> tp43_: That re-installing likely won't fix it.
[21:50] <tp43_> edbian_, can I disable X and boot the a shell
[21:50] <TrentH> I'm actually playing a game on ubuntu :D
[21:50] <edbian_> tp43_: That's what recovery mode does.  You're not getting to X at all.  Read the tutorial I posted.
[21:50] <eudaimon> please, can someone help me? :)
[21:50] <tp43_> edbian_, oh yeah, its worse than that
[21:51] <edbian_> tp43_: yep
[21:51] <tp43_> edbian_, I need a whole new install
[21:51] <anli_> Who doesnt
[21:51] <tp43_> edbian_, but I have like three kernels, I tried two, both of them didn't work
[21:51] <edbian_> tp43_: The older ones have a better chance of working
[21:51] <tp43_> edbian_, well, thanks for trying, very kind of you.  I will do a re-install
[21:51] <edbian_> tp43_: I'm not sure that will fix the issue.  If you want to though.
[21:52] <tp43_> edbian_, I am sure a re-install will work
[21:52] <tp43_> edbian_, of course a re-install will work.  It used to work
[21:52] <wittyME> is there a documented way to enable full disk encryption on a running system post installation? or a tested method of backup and restore after reinstalling with encryption to get to the exact same state of the system?
[21:52] <edbian_> tp43_: alright!  But when you update it will probably come back
[21:53] <tp43_> edbian_, yeah, I gotta figure out what update is breaking it, I just won't update then
[21:53] <edbian_> tp43_: that's one way I guess...
[21:53] <tp43_> edbian_, I might just put debian instead, cause I never travel with this laptop anymore so I don't really need sleep or hibernate anymore
[21:54] <edbian_> !!! I love Debian! :D
[21:54] <edbian_> tp43_: use that
[21:54] <edbian_> ubottu: quiet you.
[21:54] <nit-wit> lol
[21:54] <tp43_> edbian_, Any new developments, should I get a new CD, lets see
[21:54] <edbian_> tp43_: We're on 6 now
[21:55] <tp43_> I am on debian right now, how do I know if I have 5 or 6.  When did six come out.  I am sure I have 5 though, unless it upgraded itself
[21:55] <eudaimon> hello
[21:56] <eudaimon> is there someone who knows to debug a vpn connection
[21:56] <xc1024> check the vpn server logs
[21:57] <dr_willis> !vpn
[22:00] <nomad_man> quick question, will 32bit version of ubuntu work with 8 gigs of ram?  and will it be able to address all 8gigs?
[22:01] <wildbat> nomad_man: yes and no ~ 3gig only ~ go for 64bit
[22:02] <nomad_man> really?
[22:02] <wittyME> nomad_man: afik 32bit doesn't provide enough addresspace for 8GB of RAM
[22:02] <nomad_man> wildbat:  how is hte box adressing the current 4 gigs than?
[22:02] <MustardCU> wildbat, nomad_man, it's 4 GB
[22:02] <nomad_man> 2^32 i  guess
[22:02] <TrentH> Welp anybody know what to do when minecraft crashes on you?
[22:03] <iceroot> nomad_man: the pae-version can adress 4gb and more
[22:03] <nomad_man> iceroot: so 8 gig will be no issue?  where can i read about it, and how is it implemented?
[22:04] <iceroot> nomad_man: pae can handle 8gb but pae is bad, so use amd64
[22:04] <wildbat> nomad_man, MustardCU, AFAIK it is depending on motherboard. i have a ASUS that give me 3.15 out of 6.
[22:04] <iceroot> nomad_man: http://blog.linuxolution.org/archives/117
[22:04] <iceroot> wildbat: its depending on your vga + ram, has nothing to do with the mainboard
[22:04] <zykotick9> nomad_man, PAE is a "hack" using try 64bit would be better for some applications.  PAE cannot allow any one application from exceeding the 3.2 GB memory limit.
[22:05] <iceroot> zykotick9: 1.8gb per process if i am correct
[22:05] <zykotick9> iceroot, thanks, didn't know it was that low.
[22:06] <nomad_man> aha!
[22:06] <theshadowx> hiya
[22:06] <iceroot> nomad_man: just use amd64
[22:06] <nomad_man> i think you guys might have solved an issue that we had for a while  on our gaming server!
[22:06] <wildbat> iceroot: but gigabyte give a bit more then ASUS on same vga card?
[22:06] <nomad_man> iceroot: wildbat zykotick9  thanks guys!
[22:06] <iceroot> wildbat: no
[22:06] <cypha> dr_willis, once I install ubuntu-desktop, how do I run it?
[22:06] <iceroot> wildbat: its vga + pci adressbus + ram
[22:06] <cypha> just type ubuntu-desktop?
[22:07] <MustardCU> nomad_man, i did help but i guess you didn't see mine.
[22:07] <WaltherFI> gdm start
[22:07] <nomad_man> master_of_master:  sorry
[22:07] <nomad_man> whops
[22:07] <zykotick9> cypha, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package for installing gnome/unity type thing
[22:07] <nomad_man> MustardCU: you have to highliight my name otherwise there is a storng chance i'll miss it :)))
[22:07] <WaltherFI> cypha: sudo services gdm start
[22:07] <cypha> zykotick9, what's that mean?
[22:07] <nomad_man> MustardCU: oh, odd, you did :(
[22:07] <WaltherFI> gdm = gnome display manager
[22:08] <nomad_man> okay, here is a crazy question
[22:08] <dr_willis> cypha:  it starts gdm at boot time.. you login to x.
[22:08] <zykotick9> cypha, WaltherFI gave the correct command
[22:08] <nomad_man> i've got a 32bit LTS and i want to convert it to x64. any chance i can do that?
[22:08] <dr_willis> cypha:  its a meta-package - it installs the other needed pacakges for the full X desktop
[22:08] <nomad_man> wiithout doing full reinstall
[22:08] <cypha> ohh, gotcha
[22:08] <zykotick9> nomad_man, no - fresh install
[22:08] <nomad_man> :'(
[22:08] <dr_willis> cypha:  if you have gdm disabled. 'sudo service gdm start'
[22:08] <nomad_man> figured
[22:08] <MustardCU> nomad_man, whatever, you won't no me within the next hour
[22:08] <MustardCU> *know
[22:08] <nomad_man> MustardCU: lol :)
[22:08] <cypha> sudo: services: command not found
[22:09] <WaltherFI> service
[22:09] <dr_willis> service
[22:09] <dr_willis> time to learn the service command. :)
[22:09] <cypha> aah, that worked
[22:09] <kjeldor> I got a question, i tried to download a movie and it transmission bittorrent says my disk are full, can i make the partition of my ubuntu bigger than what I have now without erasing its contents?
[22:10] <zykotick9> cypha, WaltherFI (almost) gave the correct command ;)  I missed the typo too.
[22:10] <cypha> "It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run Unity. Please choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment."
[22:10] <nomad_man> iceroot: another quick quetsion  X3460 intel, is it still amd64?
[22:10] <MustardCU> kjeldor, yes but be careful erasing data on your other partitions.
[22:10] <iceroot> nomad_man: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:10] <zykotick9> cypha, what graphics card are you using?  Install drivers if possible.
[22:10] <dr_willis> cypha:  and your video chipset is?
[22:10] <iceroot> nomad_man: if there is "lm" then it is 64bit
[22:11] <kjeldor> MustardCU, can you guide me how?
[22:11] <iceroot> nomad_man: lm = large memory
[22:11] <cypha> hmm
[22:11] <nomad_man> iceroot: no, i know it's a x64, but i'm no longer familiar with modern architectures.   amd is the same as intel ?
[22:11] <iceroot> nomad_man: yes
[22:11] <nomad_man> iceroot: i guess amd is just throwing me off  :)
[22:12] <iceroot> nomad_man: amd64 is for 64bit cous from amd and intel
[22:12] <cypha> NVIDIA NVS 3100M
[22:12] <nomad_man> iceroot:  excellent
[22:12] <cypha> I logged in via X, but then during login is when I got that message above
[22:12] <w30> kjeldor, or else create another partition and mount as /movie-downloads or some such mount point of your choosing
[22:12] <dr_willis> cypha:  you ned to install the proper nvidia-drivers package.
[22:13] <kjeldor> How can I "re-install" ubuntu without losing all my data, I want to have Ubuntu most, if not all of my partition. I have windows installed by the way
[22:13] <dr_willis> cypha:  you an choose the classic desktop then run the 'addational-drivers' tool to let it install what it thinks it needs
[22:13] <cypha> dr_willis, besides that message, everything looks fine
[22:13] <cypha> dr_willis, how do I do that?
[22:14] <dr_willis> run the tool  from the menus, or from a terminal  i think the binary name is 'jockey-gtk'  or in the menus 'addational drivers'
[22:14] <MustardCU> kjeldor, Well I use gparted (which is the Gnome Partition Editor).  If you select your partition you should be able to change it's size.  The problem with this is that since it has to be on the same spot on the disk if it may overlap with another partition.  As I can see other people are helping you and I would suggest just making another partition  on an empty space to be safer.  I'm not the best at partitions though so other pe
[22:14] <MustardCU> ople may be able to provide with you with more information on the subject
[22:14] <cypha> dr_willis, nothing additional in additional drivers
[22:14] <kjeldor> w30, can i just delete my excisting ubuntu and then re-install with a bigger partition?
[22:15] <dr_willis> cypha:  its not showing any nvidia drivers needed or in use?
[22:15] <cypha> nope
[22:15] <xangua> kjeldor: next time use a separate partiton for Home ;)
[22:15] <kjeldor> uhhh this sucks
[22:15] <dr_willis> cypha:  not sure then. You could install the nvidia-current package i guess..
[22:15] <kjeldor> I want to keep both windows and ubuntu
[22:16] <w30> kjeldor, sure; its not windows but you will loose your original ubuntu, Is it highly configured yet?
[22:16] <MustardCU> kjeldor, copy your stuff from Ubuntu to Windows and reinstall and make the Ubuntu partition bigger then
[22:16] <kjeldor> not yet highly configured
[22:17] <kjeldor> i just installed ubuntu today
[22:17] <albech> i am having some issue where my host is randomly stop responding to network connectiontions. If I then ping out from that particular host it will become responsive again to network connections.
[22:17] <w30> kjeldor, that would be fairly quick then.
[22:17] <ciunix_> A question about a configuration of apache. I bought a domain name in a provider, now the domain point to the static ip of a my server: if I go to the site www.foo.com then I arrive to the apache of my server. If I go to www.foo.com/bar in the browser bar I see serverip/bar and now www.foo.com/bar.. I think I have to configure something in apache. is it correct?
[22:17] <kjeldor> how do I properly re-install?
[22:18] <cypha> dr_willis, no error after restart
[22:18] <cypha> maybe it was a fluke?
[22:18] <dr_willis> cypha:  could be.
[22:18] <ciunix_> could anybode give me an advice?
[22:19] <kjeldor> ok
[22:19] <albech> !ask
[22:19] <TrentH> ciunix_, always wear a rubber
[22:19] <kjeldor> IM willing to loose both windows and ubuntu
[22:19] <marek_> Will there ever be an Ubuntu kFreeBSD or Ubuntu HURD?
[22:19] <kjeldor> I want pure ubuntu only
[22:19] <w30> kjeldor, just get your partition the size you want it and then tell your install where your partition is and the install will wipe that partition and use it.
[22:19] <MustardCU> ciunix_, keep all of your stuff on one line so we know what your talking about
[22:19] <zykotick9> ciunix_, you might want to try in #httpd
[22:19] <mediawork> Hi ,  I am making a backup of my broken usb dongle
[22:19] <kjeldor> can i reinstall from ubuntu?
[22:20] <zykotick9> marek_, lol, try Debian
[22:20] <marek_> i AM a debian user
[22:20] <ciunix_> ok sorry
[22:20] <mediawork> Im using  dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/hroi/daddsk bs=512
[22:20] <dr_willis> i think that on one line comment was for  kjeldor
[22:20] <zykotick9> marek_, why would Ubuntu want either of those kernels?  I see no benefit in a desktop environment.
[22:20] <mediawork> however Im not sure if  the block size of 512 bytes is correct...
[22:21] <StevenR> ok. I'm logged into my server using ssh -X ... but when I try to start firefox on it, with the output running on my laptop, I get a laptop copy of firefox. How do I make firefox run on the server, but appear on my laptop? I do this with other X11 apps, so why does firefox behave wrongly?
[22:21] <MustardCU> kjeldor, Did you just say you wanted to wipe Windows?  Then you shouldn't need to reinstall Ubuntu, right?
[22:21] <mediawork> does it matter if I get the block size correct?
[22:21] <dr_willis> kjeldor:  clarify what you are wanting to do and why.. i think it got lost in the extra lines...
[22:21] <w30> kjeldor, how did you install before? I would use a live ubuntu disc myself
[22:21] <dr_willis> mediawork:  bs is like a buffer space to use.. i use bs=2048 normally
[22:21] <mediawork> dr_willis:  so ,  I guess it really doesnt matter right?
[22:22] <dr_willis> mediawork:  it reads that much at a time.. writes it.. goes back and forth.. the lower a # the slower the copy can be.
[22:22] <dr_willis> mediawork:  you got it.
[22:22] <mediawork> dr_willis:  I still end up with an equivalent image of my drive
[22:22] <mediawork> dr_willis:  thanks.
[22:22] <dr_willis> mediawork:  you are imageint the whold drive.. you can also image partitions if you wanted to.
[22:22] <kjeldor> OK. This is my setup now, I was on windows7, and I installed Ubuntu side by side, but i only used a small portion. Now Im willing to delete windows, and do a fresh install of Ubuntu on my hard disk.. how can I do that now, running ubuntu
[22:22] <mediawork> dr_willis:  yes the whol 32 GB  of this usb drive
[22:23] <kjeldor> I used a USB Flash disk from windows to install ubuntu
[22:23] <StevenR> nevermind. The answer is -no-remote :)
[22:23] <dr_willis> mediawork:  often peole just image the /dev/sda1 or whatever. to move to a differnt partition, not to a differnt hard drive. :)
[22:23] <mediawork> dr_willis:  it has a broken boot sector I think... Im following a linuxjournal article to do this.
[22:23] <dr_willis> mediawork:  if it has read errors you may want to check out the ddrescue command also
[22:23] <mediawork> dr_willis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector
[22:23]  * quem is losing it
[22:24] <MustardCU> kjeldor, you should be able to delete the Windows partition and it's recovery partition from gparted.
[22:24] <mediawork> dr_willis:  cool I wanted to ask if you know any linux based partition table fixes
[22:24] <MustardCU> kjeldor, just be careful!
[22:24] <dr_willis> mediawork:  that wont 'fix' it but it will recover all the data it can
[22:24] <mediawork> dr_willis:  or something there of.. or file rescue from broken drives
[22:24] <mediawork> dr_willis: cool!
[22:24] <kjeldor> MustardCU, after deleting windows partition, can I set it to UBUNTU all the way?
[22:24] <mediawork> dr_willis:  it will have to look for ehm... pdf or doc or jpg like files right?
[22:25] <dr_willis> you will prober. want to dd from /dev/sda1 or whatver instead of sda if using ddrescue. because it will make  mounting the recovered image easier.
[22:25] <cypha> umm...I did sudo aptitude install chrome, thinking it was going to be chrome browser
[22:25] <cypha> and all it did was remove stuff
[22:25] <dr_willis> mediawork:  it recovers EVERYTHING.
[22:25] <dr_willis> mediawork:  or at least it tries...
[22:25] <dr_willis> !info chrome
[22:26] <pharos> chromium
[22:26] <mediawork> dr_willis:   ok ,, will it handle ntfs... actually Im kinda in a pickle I dont even know if I have ntfs or vfat
[22:26] <dr_willis> cypha:  i have to wonder what you installed via chrome.. :)
[22:26] <MustardCU> kjeldor, you should be able but they may be a MB or two on both sides of the partition that you can't include.  Shouldn't be a problem though.  I reconmend keeping Windows as a backup just encase something happens to Ubuntu though
[22:26] <zykotick9> kjeldor, did you say you installed Ubuntu from inside Windows?  If so, you CAN NOT delete Windows, without deleting Ubuntu in the process!  Wubi = fail IMO
[22:26] <dr_willis> mediawork:  it works at the block level i think.. so it should.
[22:26] <dsam44> dddd
[22:26] <bastidrazor> cypha: chromium-browser is the package. you would need to grab the deb for chrome or use the ppa
[22:26] <MustardCU> kjeldor, zyktoick9 is correct if that is what you did.
[22:26] <bastidrazor> pharos: chromium is a game.
[22:26] <mediawork> dr_willis:  ok ,   so on the block level. . there is really no difference between vfat, ntfs or ext3 rihgt?
[22:26] <kjeldor> yes
[22:27] <cypha> It ended up installing something called openchrome
[22:27] <nsaquatics> Good afternoon! Can somebody steer me in the right direction. I have a small store, one server (Ubuntu 10.04LTS) and 4+ Point of sale computers running windows (No choice, Quickbooks POS doesn't run in wine) Problem is after 2-3 months the windows machines start getting slower and slower, so I have to reinstall XP AGAIN. What I am looking for, is a way to virtualize the windows install and freeze the config, so that every time the session is closed, th
[22:27] <kjeldor> its ok
[22:27] <MustardCU> kjeldor, what?
[22:27] <kjeldor> I want to start fresh, so how do I do it?
[22:27] <dr_willis> mediawork:  i used it to recover a ntfs the other day i beliuve.. of 1.5TB :) ddrescue took over a week to read it all.. from usb. but it did recover 99% of the data
[22:27] <kjeldor> MustardCU fresh UBUNTU
[22:28] <nsaquatics> If I use a regular terminal session, I can only run the POS software on one session because it complains that it can only run once per machine.
[22:28] <dr_willis> kjeldor:  boot cd. reinstall. :)
[22:28] <zykotick9> dr_willis, i hope the data was worth it ;)
[22:28] <mediawork> dr_willis:  cool... I tried som windows based programs... they didnt do very well... even crashed
[22:28] <nit-wit> kjeldor, did you installl Ubuntu from a live windows enviroment?
[22:28] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  wifes videos... she just had to have.. of course after i recovered it.. the drive started working...
[22:28] <danilom> apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[22:28] <danilom> any idea?
[22:28] <cypha> dr_willis, I think my internet is not working
[22:28] <cypha> how can I test it
[22:28] <cypha> ?
[22:28] <pharos> bastidrazor: Chromium is an open-source browser project
[22:28] <cypha> there is no browser
[22:28] <zykotick9> dr_willis, i believe Murphy has a law about that :)
[22:28] <jrib> danilom: that's because of the way ubuntu does the config file and should be ok to ignore
[22:29] <dr_willis> cypha:  theres dozens of browsers you can instgall..  ping google.com  if that works.. well.. internet is working.
[22:29] <cypha> oh ok, it's working
[22:29] <dr_willis> !info midori
[22:29] <danilom> jrib, what must i check to solve?
[22:30] <xangua> !info chromium | he was refering to the package name  pharos
[22:30] <alex--> !webmin | Alex--
[22:30] <dr_willis> alex--:  you keep reminding yourself of webmin? :)
[22:30] <pharos> ok !!
[22:30] <xangua> mmm no longer in natty¿ :S
[22:30] <dr_willis> alex--:  you can do a '/msg ubottu  factoid'
[22:30] <cypha> dr_willis, why does my synaptic package manager and my ubuntu login have two different passwords?
[22:30] <cypha> in fact, the synaptic package manager password is the original password I created when I made the ubuntu-server
[22:31] <dr_willis> cypha:  no idea. mine dont.. i just have the 1 user however...
[22:31] <cypha> but I have since changed it

[22:31] <chalsallbb> Hey all.  I hope I'm not breaking protocol here, but I'm wondering if anyone would like a Google+ invite.  If you would, PM me here or e-mail me at ircgplus@wabbit.com.  (This is not a scam; I'm not a spammer, and you can use "disposable" addresses if you want -- the invites are not bound to the initial e-mail address.)
[22:31] <danilom> photon, but doesnt show the index
[22:32] <xangua> !ot | chalsallbb not the place
[22:32] <nomad_man> is there a good alternative to webmin?
[22:32] <photon> danilom: I have no freaking idea what you mean. maybe you should consider a channel in your native language.
[22:32] <danilom> photon, when i try myservername in a browser send me to download a file...
[22:33] <danilom> photon apache dont show me the index, in my browser
[22:33] <chalsallbb> ubottu -- sorry...
[22:34] <nomad_man> is there a good alternative to webmin?  also, what is good way to monitor bandwidth consomed by an INDIVIDUAL application on the box?
[22:36] <Ubunoob> Can anyone help me? I need an application to burn a Windows ISO to a flash drive. My googling only resulted in how to create live-USB's which I know how to do.
[22:36] <thinkster> I am at a grub shell, can I copy files from my ubuntu to usb?
[22:37] <cypha> ok, here's another question. when ubuntu first starts, it has a dark title bar and taskbar (and both look very smooth in their coloring). After about 20 seconds, it becomes white/grey and looks less refined
[22:39] <delinquentme> suggestions as to a good keyboard shortcut to set to clear my terminal?
[22:40] <delinquentme> .... just looking for suggestions of key mappings that would overwrite something else .. and that are handy
[22:40] <thinkster> caps rarely used
[22:40] <cutiyar> after installing ubuntu still give me the isntallation box http://webchinupload.com/files/Screenshot_11.png ??
[22:40] <appletree> ubuntu rox
[22:40] <appletree> .
[22:40] <zykotick9> cutiyar, take the CD out
[22:40] <ciss> hi! on where can i configure the compression settings for vino-server on ubuntu natty?
[22:41] <cypha> anyone?
[22:41] <ciss> remote desktop is transmitting over 1mb even though screen updates only happen in a small area
[22:43] <w30> Ubunoob, you want to copy a windows iso file to a usb disk?
[22:44] <ciss> all i can find is the dumbed-down vino-preferences dialog
[22:44] <Ubunoob> w30 I want to make a bootable windows installer on a USB stick
[22:44] <zykotick9> Ubunoob, try ##windows - it's OT here
[22:44] <MrUnagi> : i can telnet to port 25 but my client cannot connect, any ideas
[22:45] <thinkster> I can't seem to get my laptop to boot cd
[22:45] <Ubunoob> I don't have access to a windows box, or I'd use an ISO burner. I'm stuck with a netbook with Ubuntu thats destined to windows.
[22:45] <thinkster> Ubunoob, you crazy
[22:46] <w30> Ubunoob, http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal-tech/storage-memory/231000246
[22:47] <Ubunoob> lol yeah, I thought my drive was already loaded with winblows.
[22:47] <thinkster> Ubunoob, I use gnome-baker to burn iso, you can do apt-get install gnome-baker and the burn
[22:47] <Ubunoob> Awesome, I'll give it a shot thinkster.
[22:47] <thinkster> My friggin laptop won't boot the friggin cd
[22:47] <thinkster> lord have mercy
[22:47] <cutiyar> zykotick9, i downloaded it not Cd
[22:47] <nit-wit> thinkster, try hitting f12 at powering on foe a boot from menu
[22:48] <nit-wit> foe=for
[22:48] <thinkster> nit-wit, yep, and it set up in bios to boot cd first then hdd
[22:48] <zykotick9> cutiyar, oh you installed inside windows?  That's called Wubi.  Sorry I can't help then.  Good luck.
[22:48] <nit-wit> thinkster, is f12 the boot choice key prompt on your computer
[22:48] <cutiyar> zykotick9, noo i installed entire ubuntu
[22:49] <zykotick9> cutiyar, you installed from inside windows though?
[22:49] <thinkster> nit-wit, yeah, I hit f12, and then two selections, 1. cd 2. hdd, I select cd but it doesn't boot it
[22:49] <cutiyar> zykotick9, i installed it on virtual box
[22:49] <nit-wit> thinkster, have you checked the md5sum
[22:49] <thinkster> Maybe my battery needs to be charged for a couple days first
[22:50] <zykotick9> cutiyar, remove the CD from VB's setting for the VM then (virtually remove the CD ;)
[22:50] <FrozenFire> Reading "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering Your Data Manually", I'm having issues with recovering my data. I used whatever home directory encryption settings are default on install of 10.10, and these instructions are failing horrendously.
[22:50] <thinkster> nit-wit, I think it is my batter, cause I left it unplugged for a day, and the battery is already weak at only 45% capacity
[22:50] <nit-wit> thinkster, stranger things have hapened
[22:51] <cypha> dr_willis, installing ubuntu-desktop automatically installed the 64bit version, right?
[22:51] <thinkster> nit-wit, yeah, its messed up, the screen goes blank.  Lenova ruined IBM
[22:51] <cypha> since my ubuntu-server is 64bit
[22:51] <dr_willis> cypha:  if you are on 64bit.. yes.. thats how it works
[22:51] <cypha> k cool
[22:51] <nit-wit> thinkster, have you tried the f6-nomodeset option
[22:52] <thinkster> nit-wit, yeah, I thought it was an Ubuntu issue, and tried nomodeset, but then I booted into windows and same thing happened
[22:52] <nit-wit> hmm
[22:52] <thinkster> I wonder, can I access Ubuntu drive from WIndows?
[22:52] <nit-wit> thinkster, not easily a shred partition is generally usd
[22:52] <thinkster> nit-wit, cause Ubuntu is starting at all, but Windows lasts 5mins -enough time to copy a few images
[22:53] <nit-wit> *shared
[22:53] <thinkster> nit-wit, thats why I was trying to boot cd, cause then I copy a couple files
[22:53] <nit-wit> thinkster, download a puppy linux it should work
[22:53] <rhino> nit-wit: rhino here. Tried typing in the command line stuff on the W7 repair thing. Now won't boot at all - saying bootmgr not found. Currently typing this n an iPad :) surprised to find an irc client actually!
[22:54] <thinkster> nit-wit, I can't boot cd
[22:54] <cutiyar> zykotick9, i installed it from .iso
[22:54] <zykotick9> cutiyar, right and VBox treats that ISO like a cdrom, you need to "eject" it from VBox
[22:54] <thinkster> This laptop need to be charge up and then hopefully it will work again
[22:55] <thinkster> A battery replacement is gonna cost the price of new laptop I bet
[22:55] <nit-wit> rhino, if you have the boot flag on the C partition sda2 go to the command line again type bootrec.exe, and run the four commands two are the same I gave you
[22:55] <anyes> :)
[22:55] <cutiyar> zykotick9, how to eject it?
[22:55] <nit-wit> rhino, bootrec.exe  by it self is like running help in linux
[22:56] <rhino> Ok
[22:56] <solidpikmin> llo?
[22:56] <zykotick9> cutiyar, sorry, I don't remember.  Anyone, how to remove ISO from VB settings?
[22:56] <solidpikmin> hello?
[22:56] <nit-wit> rhino, the autorepiar is an option as well
[22:56] <rhino> Yeah tried auto repair.
[22:56] <solidpikmin> Hi, I got a Question?
[22:56] <nit-wit> rhino, if you run the autorepair do it 3 times
[22:57] <solidpikmin> How can I change the background on ICEWM?
[22:57] <nit-wit> rhino, the four commands I have saved do you want a pastebin
[22:58] <rhino> nit-wit: Run auto repair 3 times. Check. Thanks for your help, btw. Very much appreciated. Pastebin yes please
[22:58] <solidpikmin> anyone?
[22:59] <nit-wit> rhino, hold on
[22:59] <rhino> Ok
[22:59] <cutiyar>   Anyone, how to remove ISO from VB settings?
[23:00] <solidpikmin> @cutiyar
[23:00] <solidpikmin> @cutiyar umm nope
[23:00] <nit-wit> rhino, http://paste.ubuntu.com/651453/
[23:01] <IvanBliminse> Does anyone know of a good free AVI to DVD burner for linux? I'm having trouble with Brasero.
[23:01] <nit-wit> rhino, lust make sure your seeing the W7 in the repair search before you head for the command line
[23:01] <nit-wit> *lust=just
[23:01] <nit-wit> lol
[23:01] <cutiyar> solidpikmin, nope?
[23:01] <solidpikmin> nope
[23:02] <rhino> nit-wit: Thanks for that. Will do.
[23:02] <solidpikmin> I've tried to install VB but my laptop can't handle it xD need atleast 520 mb right?
[23:02] <cypha> In the first 15 seconds AFTER logging into ubuntu, it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/pGYsK.png ||| and then after 15 seconds, it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/i6CGM.png ||| WHY IS IT CHANGING?
[23:03] <bhook> Is it just me, or does UEC still not seem to be an "out of the box" solution?
[23:03] <nit-wit> rhino, I think your just about there, it feels wierd until you know exactly what to do. Once windows is booting grub will need to be pout back in the mbr, unless you want esybcd
[23:03] <thinkster> If I have two computers both connect on the public internet throught the same hub.  Is there a way to determine the ip of one of the computers from the other?
[23:04] <solidpikmin> @thinkster have you googled it?
[23:05] <bhook> Anyone had any success in running UEC 11.04? What am I missing?
[23:05] <rhino> nit-wit: Yeah no probs! I believe you :) normally not hopeless when to computers. But only ever toyed with Linux from time to time.
[23:05] <thinkster> solidpikmin, yeah, so many results
[23:06] <nit-wit> rhino, I try to error on the side of no hrm done, if I was not sure I wou;dn't help. ;)
[23:06] <solidpikmin> @thinkster D: sorry Q.Q I've been trying to change my desktop wallpaper but I can't seem to change it on ICEWM
[23:06] <solidpikmin> googled and stuff still can't get it
[23:06] <nhck> Hi, when I do sudo apt-get install testdisk in oneirc it says E: Unable to locate package testdisk - what do I do?
[23:07] <rhino> nit-wit: Yeah it's all good. Not my main machine, just my laptop.
[23:07] <thinkster> solidpikmin, I am wondering why you are running ice?
[23:07] <nit-wit> nhck, open the universe repo
[23:08] <nit-wit> Is testdisk in the repo's
[23:08] <kirbygibner> can anyone help me with acer a500 tablet
[23:08] <thinkster> solidpikmin, I think if you are interested in wallpapers you would also be interested in gnome, kde, xfce, lxde
[23:08] <bhook> what would be the best channel to talk about UEC?
[23:08] <solidpikmin> @Thinkster Well, I got this laptop from an uncle its old ans stuff so I formated it and installed Xubuntu cause, its faster than Ubuntu. This laptop has like 60 gig memory and like 256 mb RAM so it goes really slow
[23:09] <dragon67>  /part
[23:09] <nit-wit> rhino, you might like easybcd for a bootmanager
[23:09] <thinkster> solidpikmin, that is more than plenty to run any desktop you want
[23:09] <solidpikmin> @thinker what? 256ram? and 60 gigs?
[23:09] <thinkster> My computer is 50g and
[23:10] <thinkster> My system has never used more than 200mb ram
[23:10] <rhino> nit-wit: Sounds good. Happy to have what's best. Bootmgr still missing. On the third and fourth commands it reported 0 Windows partitions found :(
[23:10] <solidpikmin> well, Ive installed Ubuntu 10.04 and it runs really really slow, even after having had removed somethings in BUM
[23:11] <nhck> nit-wit: thank you very much.
[23:11] <nhck> nit-wit++
[23:11] <thinkster> solidpikmin, seriously, woow, I have here, a 2ghz, 256+128mb ram and 40gig, and I am running debian just fine
[23:11]  * w30 likes Lubuntu for low spec computers
[23:11] <solidpikmin> @thinkster really?  Yeah it runs really slow D:
[23:12] <thinkster> solidpikmin, My ram is at 51% and cpu at 5% and I have xfce desktop, apache server, and cairo-dock running right now
[23:12] <nit-wit> nhck, no problem I wondered if it was there. ;)
[23:13] <thinkster> solidpikmin, it might be a bad suggestion in this channel, but maybe try Debian
[23:13] <solidpikmin> @thinkster how exactly do I check? cause, I'm still kind of Nubish
[23:13] <nhck> nit-wit: booted off a live-cd to fix this disk. Win7 Partition-Manager made a boobo :-D
[23:13] <solidpikmin> debian?
[23:13] <cypha> In the first 15 seconds AFTER logging into ubuntu, it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/pGYsK.png ||| and then after 15 seconds, it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/i6CGM.png ||| WHY IS IT CHANGING?
[23:13] <thinkster> solidpikmin, yeah, come to channel debian
[23:13] <solidpikmin> oh okay
[23:14] <solidpikmin> okay thanks
[23:15] <thinkster> solidpikmin, anyway, changing desktop bg is easy http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/desktop-x-windows/44062-icewm-background.html  "icewmgb /path/to/your/background.jpg"
[23:15] <solidpikmin> @thinkster thanks are you in debian?
[23:15] <bhook> cypha: because some dev thought it would be amusing
[23:15] <nit-wit> nhck, hmm you probably want to run that from a live cd
[23:15] <thinkster> solidpikmin, yep
[23:15] <cypha> ?
[23:15] <solidpikmin> cool xD
[23:15] <cypha> bhook, what do you mean?
[23:15] <thinkster> solidpikmin, you aren't though
[23:15] <bhook> cypha: honestly I don't know... mine started doing it after a few updates
[23:16] <bhook> cypha: my first comment was intended as a joke
[23:16] <solidpikmin> @thinkster thanks, I just got on debian too
[23:16] <cypha> bhook, so yours still does it?
[23:16] <bhook> cypha: yes
[23:16] <cypha> wow
[23:16] <cypha> how have you tried to fix it?
[23:16] <bhook> cypha: and setting the theme manually only fixes it until the next reboot
[23:17] <bhook> cypha: honestly, I don't care which theme I'm in, so I just started ignoring it
[23:18] <rhino> nit-wit: Good news. I can now boot into Windows. Now, should I get busy with grub or easybcd?
[23:19] <bhook> cypha: you might be able to get it to work by starting with a clean home directory. It seems to have something to do with a setting that gets tweaked after an update is installed
[23:19] <cypha> hmm
[23:19] <nit-wit> rhino, cool your choice I like grub myself I can give you the commands
[23:20] <cypha> k
[23:20] <rhino> nit-wit: that'd be great if you have them. Can you pastebin it for me?
[23:21] <kandinski> how can I find printers in the local network? I am running Natty and sitting at my new job in a totally unknown network. Thanks!
[23:22] <nit-wit> rhino, sure eeven better the web page do this from the Ubuntu live cd that you installed with.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy%20LiveCD%20Files
[23:22] <cypha> bhook, where are themes saved? I went to Appearance Preferences, and selected "Ambiance" and clicked install, and then it took me to a window to find the theme package
[23:22] <bhook> cypha: I'm not sure exactly
[23:22] <nit-wit> rhino, ask away if you need to I didn't remember the actual partition ubuntu is in
[23:23] <cypha> how did you select themes?
[23:23] <bhook> cypha: same window
[23:23] <bhook> cypha: just click the one you want
[23:23] <nit-wit> rhino, did you see the link
[23:23] <bhook> cypha: you only need to click install if you want to install one that isn't in the list
[23:24] <cypha> ooh, gotcha
[23:24] <rhino> nit-wit: Great, thanks. I'll report back tomorrow when I've done it. You've been a great help. Very kind of you.
[23:24] <cypha> bhook, none of those themes change the menu and taskbar though
[23:24] <bhook> they should
[23:24] <nit-wit> rhino, I gave the grub2 wiki  link so  ask away if you need to I didn't remember the actual partition ubuntu is in
[23:24] <bhook> cypha: sometimes it takes a few seconds
[23:24] <rhino> nit-wit: Yes saw it. Got disconnected.
[23:24] <nit-wit> rhino, no problem
[23:25] <nit-wit> rhino, saw you come back on
[23:25] <cypha> nope
[23:25] <cypha> not at all
[23:25] <bhook> cypha: well then, your issue is more severe than mine is/was
[23:25] <rhino> nit-wit: Thanks again. Speak tomorrow.
[23:25] <cypha> should I just reinstall ubuntu?
[23:26] <nit-wit> rhino, see you then. ;)
[23:26] <bhook> cypha: well, if you are that hung-up on the theme
[23:26] <cypha> bhook, theme doesn't bother me. bothers me that it changes
[23:27] <bhook> cypha: a fresh install might fix it... but after the updates are installed it might break again
[23:27] <sw0rdfish> !host
[23:28] <bhook> grrr.... UEC is making me made
[23:28] <bhook> mad*
[23:28] <bhook> I think I'm going to have to re-install for the 3rd time this weekend
[23:29] <bhook> attached volumes aren't recognized by the instances... something isn't right
[23:29] <cypha> bhook, so basically you've never been able to fix it
[23:29] <cypha> it's sad that a fresh install seems like the only way to fix this
[23:29] <bhook> cypha: like I said, I just started ignoring it
[23:30] <bhook> cypha: I said a clean user directory might
[23:30] <cypha> any particular files?
[23:30] <bhook> cypha: I'd just try moving the entire directory and copying back what you need after you get it fixed
[23:31] <bhook> cypha: a faster way to test that might be to just create a new user and see if the new user has the same problems
[23:32] <bhook> well, a mildly irritated me is going to go reinstall my servers.... again
[23:32] <bhook> laterz
[23:32] <cypha> bye
[23:32] <cypha> how do I zip files?
[23:34] <fzapp> cypha, 'zip newname.zip mask'
[23:34] <fzapp> example: zip mynew.zip *.txt
[23:34] <fzapp> try 'man zip' for more commands
[23:34] <cypha> fzapp, to zip a whole directory
[23:35] <fzapp> In your File Manager you may try to zip with right click
[23:35] <cypha> keeping it's underlying directory structure
[23:35] <fzapp> cypha, zip -r newzip <dir>
[23:35] <eHAPPY> any idea why I cant install Ubuntu 11.04 on any of my systems?

[23:55] <chilversc> nope
[23:55] <cypha> so did you install the 3rd party mp3 and flash software during full installation?
[23:55] <cypha> or did you do it manually later?
[23:55] <Oer> cypha, i installed it directly
[23:56] <cypha> Oer, including fluendo MP3 plugin?
