[00:31] <Geodude> uhg. I just got flamed for being an american in #Archlinux. so angry.
[00:34] <nit-wit> Geodude, I wouldn't take them to seriously. ;)
[00:35] <Geodude> Why can't they just be helpful? I never get an answer from them.
[00:39] <nit-wit> Geodude, I would lurk and learn their customs, if you go there uninformed in general, not saying you are it can get ugly. Archlinux has some of the best wiki's so you might look there as well.
[01:29] <philipballew> how do i mount a flash drive from the cli?
[01:30] <stlsaint> philipballew: mount all :D
[01:31] <philipballew> what do you mean?

[01:38] <Doktor_Zhivago> is there a shortcut in the terminal to go to the home dir easier than cd ~
[01:38] <Doktor_Zhivago> or should i just make my own by alais?
[01:39] <philipballew> that is the shortcut
[01:39] <Doktor_Zhivago> oh >_>
[01:39] <philipballew> you can type cd /home/yourname
[01:39] <philipballew> or cd ~
[01:47] <charlie-tca> or even just cd
[01:47] <charlie-tca> and hit enter
[01:47] <Doktor_Zhivago> oh thats the one
[01:47] <Doktor_Zhivago> i thought i remembered reading about one

[18:16] <juemo> Hi pals !  My server do not respond to ARP requests.  Anyone got an idea ?  Details here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/654640/
[18:16] <philipballew> holstein, yes I did. I like it a alot dude. really sweet
[18:16] <holstein> philipballew: thanks so much :)
[18:17] <philipballew> i installed debian and i cant get any sound to work at all, ill recommend to all my friends
[18:17] <philipballew> so i thought ubuntu might work better. haha
[18:17] <holstein> juemo: when im sitting u pa server, im alwasy able to go with dynamic addressing at first
[18:18] <holstein> i do that so i can test the hardware... then i go static, and i can assume any issues are config
[18:18] <holstein> if thats an option, i would try it just to rule that out... otherwise you could waste a lot of time on a hardware problem
[18:19] <holstein> i gotta run... philipballew, thanks again.. you rock!
[18:19] <juemo> holstein: The network having problem isn't static.  There is only dhcp reservation specified on the router
[18:20] <philipballew> no worries! have a good one~
[18:20] <philipballew> !

[20:54] <asterismo> hi guys i need help
[20:55] <bioterror> !ask | asterismo
[20:55] <ubot2> asterismo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[20:55] <asterismo> today i had installed DSL internet at home and when setting the router up, i cannot connect with ubuntu
[20:55] <bioterror> why not?
[20:56] <bioterror> does your network card blink some leds
[20:56] <asterismo> the router only allows me to set a WPA2-PSK key
[20:56] <asterismo> and WPA-PSK
[20:57] <asterismo> or both but cannot set it open
[20:57] <asterismo> and when trying to connect, network appñet keeps moving and prompts me the password again, and again
[20:58] <asterismo> router is fine
[20:58] <asterismo> when i plug the ethernet cable it connects in a sna
[20:58] <asterismo> snap
[20:58] <asterismo> but not for wireless
[20:59] <asterismo> in my laptop i have a broadcom wireless chip
[20:59] <asterismo> amd in the desktop i have a TP-link card with atheros chipset
[20:59] <asterismo> cannot connect with no one
[20:59] <truepurple> When I go to the ubuntu site and choose to make a usb flash drive my boot medium, does it formate or delete already existing content on it?
[21:01] <ikonia> truepurple: yes
[21:03] <truepurple> ikonia,  Well I had a usb drive that already had boot content on it before, I think. I downloaded the ISO for ubuntu 11.04 and followed the instructions on the ubuntu site for putting it on the usb flash drive, but it didn't work.
[21:03] <ikonia> truepurple: ok
[21:04] <truepurple> Now if the old files on the usb flash drive were still there, I thought maybe they were screwing things up, but if not, what is the matter? Shall I use it again and tell you the error it gives?
[21:05] <ikonia> truepurple: it depends if your stick meets the requirements of space/unallocated space.
[21:05] <ikonia> it will ask you what you want to do, rather than just do it
[21:05] <truepurple> I did not understand that
[21:06] <ikonia> truepurple: what OS are you making the USB drive from ?
[21:06] <truepurple> ubuntu 11.04
[21:07] <ikonia> so you're actually making the USB stick from ubuntu
[21:08] <truepurple> I am using a ISO of 11.04 I downloaded, but the OS in the background is 11.04
[21:08] <ikonia> in that case I don't believe it removes the files as long as you have 2 GB of free space on the file system you want to use
[21:09] <truepurple> So I need to do it again, and this time format first?
[21:09] <ikonia> the windows application has an option to remove/format the drive your using
[21:09] <ikonia> truepurple: I see no reason to format it unless you have no space
[21:09] <truepurple> Well like I said, it isnt working. "Window application"?
[21:09] <ikonia> window application ?
[21:11] <truepurple> You said it, not me
[21:11] <truepurple> I was just wondering why
[21:11] <ikonia> ooh
[21:12] <ikonia> I was explaining that the windows application that creates a pen drive has an option to format the partition, the ubuntu one does not
[21:14] <truepurple> ikonia, and without the option to format the drive, it doesn't format the drive? Do I need to format the drive before installing ubuntu 11.04 as a "live CD"?
[21:14] <ikonia> not if you have space
[21:14] <ikonia> if your file system meets the minimum space requirement, I don't believe there is a need to format it
[21:15] <truepurple> So why isnt it working?
[21:16] <ikonia> no idea, that's your issue to work out/feedback on, resolve
[21:17] <ikonia> saying "it's not working" is like me giving advice "fix it"
[21:18] <truepurple> ikonia, If I gave you the message it gives me when I try to use it, might you be able to figure out what is going wrong?
[21:19] <ikonia> I can certainly look at it
[21:20] <philipballew> !ics
[21:20] <ubot2> If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[21:20] <philipballew> ...
[21:20] <philipballew> there we go
[21:41] <truepurple> ikonia, "syslinux 4.02 debian 20101018 EDD copyright..." next line "menu.c32i: not a com32R image"
[21:41] <truepurple> And that second line gets repeated like every 10 seconds
[21:42] <ikonia> truepurple: ok two thoughts on that
[21:42] <ikonia> the first one I don't how valid it is, but there used to be a bug that the installer and certain iso versions that caused it
[21:42] <ikonia> I thought it was fixed, but I don't know if it is
[21:43] <truepurple> so it might work with 10.10?
[21:43] <ikonia> the second is the issue is that the problem is that the menu application used does not actually have a valid image (as in graphics) file assicated with it, this used to be a common issue with syslinux when making pxeboot menus
[21:43] <ikonia> without looking into the actual pendrive making application more I don't know why it doesn't have an image assicated with it as I don't know how it makes it, but that is the reason for the error
[21:44] <truepurple> So in short, what can I do to make a ubuntu "live cd" usb flash drive?
[21:45] <truepurple> I mean one that works
[21:45] <ikonia> well, you could try using the windows application if you have a windows machine available, you could try a different version of ubuntu to see if the old bug is still valid or you could wait for me/other person to have time to actually look into the application
[21:51] <truepurple> ikonia, what you were saying earlier about not needing to format, what about if the old data is for a boot? Doesn't the old boot MBR (or whatever those initials are) get in the way?
[21:52] <truepurple> ikonia, Also, any idea why there is no option to download 10.10?
[22:33] <CLF1> Can anyone tell me how to trace this error received when trying to repair:  samba4: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[22:39] <charlie-tca> If that is all the errors, try the install again after running sudo apt-get clean, sudo apt-get update
[22:41] <CLF1> thanks...problem is that when I try to install things like a back up application, it fails because the samba4 is bad.
[22:42] <CLF1> clean went very fast...like a blink of an eye
[22:42] <charlie-tca> yes, the try the install is for samba
[22:43] <charlie-tca> That usually works to get it to finish installing, then you don't get that error no more
[22:43] <CLF1> thaks Charlie-tca no errors on update..trying to reinstall the samba4 now
[22:43] <charlie-tca> Good luck.
[22:44] <CLF1> is it okay to use the packet manager to do the reinstall?
[22:47] <charlie-tca> yes
[22:47] <CLF1> failed
[22:48] <charlie-tca> Anyone got anything here for samba4 fails to complete the install?
[22:48] <charlie-tca> CLF1: I am out of knowledge with that
[22:49] <CLF1> IT's all good thanks for the response...i'll get it sooner or later
[23:31] <rabe_> yay, fist time/day using ubunto and allready totally in love with it <3
[23:40] <stlsaint> rabe_: awesome glad to hear it
[23:41] <rabe_> it has all those little neat features i thought that would be great in windows
[23:42] <stlsaint> rabe_: what distro you running?
[23:42] <rabe_> like an updater that is /good/
[23:42] <rabe_> latest desktop version
[23:43] <rabe_> 11.04 i believe
[23:43] <stlsaint> ah yes
[23:44] <rabe_> and built in instant messenger
[23:44] <rabe_> also the installer with wifi support
[23:45] <rabe_> and even my screen resolution was right form the start
[23:46] <stlsaint> rabe_: awesome
[23:47] <stlsaint> rabe_: hope everything continues to workout for you
[23:47] <stlsaint> rabe_: you can use this channel for support questions also
[23:47] <rabe_> that is why i droped in, but until now i found everything myself
[23:48] <rabe_> there is no photoshop for ubuntu, i suppose?
[23:49] <stlsaint> rabe_: there is package: gimp
[23:49] <stlsaint> very good and popular alternative to photoshop
[23:49] <rabe_> yeah, that is the next best thing :)
[23:50] <rabe_> is there a tool for gmail and google calendar integration?
[23:51] <stlsaint> rabe_: yes, i just forgot what it was, one sec
[23:51] <truepurple> Is the partitioning tool of a "live CD", gparted? Are they exactly the same?
[23:51] <stlsaint> truepurple: yes gparted is the same on the livecd as in the actual install
[23:52] <stlsaint> rabe_: i use checkgmail
[23:52] <rabe_> ok, thanks
[23:52] <stlsaint> rabe_: but that is more like a notifier
[23:53] <rabe_> that is all i probably need
[23:53] <stlsaint> rabe_: you can use evolution or thunderbird for better integration and tools
[23:53] <rabe_> ill just make some actions on my desktop i guess
[23:54] <rabe_> evolution is really nice, but i'm used to realtime applications
[23:54] <stlsaint> rabe_: as of my latest install i just stick to using chromium for gmail needs especially with gmail,calendar and google+ now
[23:56] <stlsaint> rabe_: but you will see there are ALOT of options within the repositories
[23:56] <stlsaint> oh i forgot about prism, rather nice also
[23:56] <rabe_> hehe, i bet this will keep me occupied for a while
[23:57] <stlsaint> rabe_: getting a fresh install catered just to how you like it will take some time until you get used to the tools and configurations that help automate the process
[23:59] <rabe_> that is why i'm allready modifying the installation disk for later installs, including my other pc
[23:59] <stlsaint> cool
