[00:00] <paulo> I'm a really pain in the ass but I have to ask some one to help me. I have a ASUS A6 and I'm not been capable to run wireless connection. I already read the topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223503 but I really don’t understand it . I'm newby by cocomplete. Can anyone help me?
[00:00] <Datz> usually update-grub gives me back my other boot options, but not this time..
[00:00] <ionite> szal: waht do u mean? should i remove the partial files?
[00:00] <OmegaForte> zteam, I know. I'm just saying that it has difficulties, but most, if not all are because the user doesn't know what "resolving dependencies" means.
[00:00] <IdleOne> !repeat | paulo
[00:00] <paulo> I'm sorry
[00:01] <szal> ionite: I guess that wouldn't hurt either
[00:01] <EgyParadox> Datz:Did you try port 22?
[00:01] <zteam> OmegaForte, well, did knew what that meant but not exactly how to that easy and without consuming alot of time
[00:01] <ionite> szal: what's the command should i type to remove the partial files?
[00:01] <EgyParadox> since its sftp not ftp
[00:01] <Datz> EgyParadox: I haven't messed with the ftp config yet, but as long as it doesn't interfere with ssh, it might do the trick
[00:01] <Datz> I don't know if wordpress would need some additional configuring as well..
[00:02] <OmegaForte> zteam, Well usually with the code, you get a list of dependencies to go with it, sometimes not, but google is still a very good tool
[00:02] <sweltman> Hi Guys...Can I ask a Q about my ubuntu 11.04 Unity?
[00:02] <Datz> .!ask | sweltman :P
[00:02] <szal> ionite: nah, that's just pkg lists, they will be replaced anyway if fresh ones can be fetched
[00:02] <Datz> or else if there is a #channel dedicated to unity?
[00:02] <szal> ionite: if it were pkgs, that'd be something different
[00:02] <sweltman> Somehow I "adjusted" and lost my title bars on all windows.  Not sure how to get them back
[00:03] <Poliorcetes> hey guys ive searched the forums on this one but can't find an answer. for some reason i can't adjust the screen brightness via the Fn key, i get a display notification telling me it's dimming or brightening but nothing is actually happening
[00:03] <Poliorcetes> any ideas
[00:03] <ionite> szal: i think they are packages?
[00:03] <sweltman> Datz?  Any ideas?
[00:03] <szal> ionite: no, they are package lists
[00:04] <ionite> szal: so what should i do?
[00:04] <szal> ionite: sudo apt-get update
[00:04] <Datz> sorry sweltman I don't use unity
[00:04] <zteam> OmegaForte, yes and sometimes that dependencys doesn't fit with your distro or version of the distro and sometimes google point you to instructions for 8.10 or something then u are using 10.10 or 11.04 yourself
[00:04] <Datz> I was just going to say to ask your question, don't ask to ask ;)
[00:04] <ionite> hey everyone. If i am running on Atom, should i use KDE or XFCE?
[00:05] <zteam> OmegaForte, that actually happend to me sometimes
[00:05] <ionite> szal: i tried several times and it kept giving me this: Fetched 522 kB in 3min 22s (2,583 B/s) W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/id.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch  W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/id.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch  E: Some index files failed to download.

 xfce
 use netbuntu
[00:05] <szal> ionite: try changing the mirror
[00:05] <szal> moffa: what the what are you talking about?
[00:05] <zteam> OmegaForte, anyway, I think I made my point quite clear... :--)
[00:05] <ionite> szal: how do i change mirror?
[00:06] <sweltman> Can anyone point me to the right list or channel?  I have a problem with Unity wierd...I lost the title bar for all windows on the screen
[00:06] <ionite> moffa: originall it's come with preinstalled netbook remix but that's considered phased out. so what's netbuntu?
[00:06] <paulo> Does any one have the patience to explain me step by step how to do it?
 sorry I meant ubuntu netbook edition
[00:07] <szal> ionite: change or remove the country abbreviation in the "deb" URL for the "main" and "universe" repositories
[00:07] <szal> ionite: in /etc/apt/sources.list, that is
 sorry, they made ubuntu 11.04 netbook compatible
[00:07] <ionite> szal: what's the command that i should i type
[00:07] <K-Rich> hey all
[00:08] <ionite> moffa: so which should i install? KDE/XFCE?
 xfce is light weight
[00:08] <Datz> XFCE is lighter
[00:08] <szal> ionite: you don't want to tell me you don't know how to open a text file with a text editor, do you?
[00:08] <cypha> where is the normal location to put an app?
 It'll run faster on a netbook
[00:08] <cypha> i have obkey
 what are you installing
[00:09] <cypha> obkey
[00:09] <cypha> i don't know where to putit
[00:09] <ionite> szal: i'm an idoit to noob. so please help me
[00:09] <szal> cypha: what's that?
[00:09] <zteam> Well time to sleep good night people
[00:09] <cypha> it has a python script that I need to point a menu item to
[00:09] <cypha> szal, it's for openbox keyboard shortcuts
[00:09] <OmegaForte> zteam, Later man
[00:09] <sweltman> Anyone with an idea about how to get my title bars back on the windows in Unity?
[00:09] <szal> !info obkey
[00:10] <cypha> it's not in the repository
[00:10] <OmegaForte> sweltman, One method I know is to not use unity.
[00:10] <cypha> hence i'm asking where one might place applications
[00:10] <zteam> OmegaForte for u yes, for me, it's time to sleep now
[00:10] <zteam> :-)
 why not use Keyboard Shortcuts?
[00:10] <sweltman> Omega, duly noted. :)
[00:10] <OmegaForte> cypha, What is it?
[00:10] <ionite> szal: so how do i open the file with the text editor?
[00:10] <cypha> it's an application
[00:10] <Datz> can anyone help me to get my Win7 boot option back in the grub menu?
[00:10] <cypha> where do people usually install applications
[00:11] <cypha> /bin?
[00:11] <OmegaForte> cypha, No sh...Cypha, where did you get it..
[00:11] <ionite> moffa: can i install kde in net book atom?
[00:11] <cypha> the internet
[00:11] <gardnan> /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
[00:11] <Datz> cypha: are you looking for an application?
[00:11] <cypha> omg no
[00:11] <OmegaForte> cypha, Stop trolling homes. Ain't funny.
 you probably can but it'll be slow
[00:11] <cypha> i have an application called obkey
[00:11] <cypha> it's a python script
[00:11] <zteam> OmegaForte, good night
[00:11] <cypha> it's sitting in my download directory
[00:11] <MK`> I need some help; after restarting my laptop today, my touchpad is completely non responsive. xinput says it recognizes it, but ... and now it's fixed. Either you guys are really that good or I am just having one of those days.
[00:12] <cypha> i need to create a menu item that points to running that python script
[00:12] <zteam> Bye all
[00:12] <OmegaForte> cypha, Python scripts are Scripts. Not applications.
[00:12] <cypha> hence, i want to put it somewhere permanent
[00:12] <cypha> where can I put it?
[00:12] <szal> ionite: first do me a favour: open a terminal, type 'pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list' & give me the URL it returns; if pastebinit isn't installed, install it
[00:12] <Datz> there is different criteria dictating which apps go where
[00:12] <OmegaForte> cypha, Then just make a folder somewhere you won't delete it, like mkdir /home/USRNM/folderdungus
[00:12] <paulo> Does any one had the same problem has I do at this moment?
[00:12] <OmegaForte> cypha, Then right click the menu, and choose edit menu.
[00:12] <danielboston26> does ubuntu 11.04 have gnome 3 or 2?
[00:13] <cypha> OmegaForte: is there somewhere that people normally put such things?
[00:13] <ionite> szal: unable to locate pastebin
[00:13] <OmegaForte> cypha, Then find the catagory you want it in, and click that, and hit "New Item" and fill out the run command and args like you run it in bash.
[00:13] <sweltman> Dan-Boston...11.04 has Unity
[00:13] <szal> danielboston26: 11.04 has Unity and Gnome2 as fallback (!classic)
[00:13] <kevin> fala ae pessoal
[00:13] <cypha> that the directory architecture already has created
[00:13] <OmegaForte> cypha, People usually put things WHERE THEY WANT. I am just sugguesting you make a folder for it so you don't accedentally.
[00:13] <szal> !pt | kevin
[00:13] <danielboston26> is there a way to install gnome 3?
[00:13] <szal> !gnome3 | danielboston26
[00:13] <cypha> OmegaForte: for example, in windows, there is "Program Files"
[00:14] <cypha> where can I find the linux alternative?
[00:14] <ionite> szal: unable to locate pastebinit
[00:15] <gardnan> cypha, if you want to install a new application, generally there are instructions included on the website or in the tarball
[00:15] <gardnan> however, if it is just a script, you can just put it /usr/local/bin
[00:15] <KingFisher> Hello...
[00:15] <sweltman> Can anyone help?  I broke unity so there are not any title bars on the windows.  Sounds dumb but I want them back
[00:15] <danielboston26> thats fine i only use ubuntu to test linux so i have no important info here
[00:15] <KingFisher> When I hook my Ubuntu netbook up to power the screen goes black.
[00:15] <KingFisher> What gives?
[00:16] <aeon-ltd> sweltman: alt-f2, metacity --replace
[00:16] <OmegaForte> KingFisher, What'd you do?
[00:16] <jdevel> This is a config for dovecot, in the example at http://pastebin.com/rWJSSuXk in the auth default{user = root} does this user really need to be root?  Why not the virtual_mail user?
[00:16] <sweltman> Aeon---No can do.  I am not a metacity fan
[00:16] <aeon-ltd> sweltman: substitute with 'compiz --replace', if you use that
[00:16] <sweltman> But thanx
[00:16] <EgyParadox> Datz: Did it work?
[00:16] <OmegaForte> sweltman, Those are window managers, not user interfaces dude. You're running one or the other.
[00:17] <OmegaForte> sweltman, even in unity.
[00:17] <sweltman> Omega, not perfectly clear on the difference so far.
[00:17] <ionite> szal: did u receive my msg?
[00:17] <KingFisher> Omega, I recently changed some power management settings.
[00:17] <OmegaForte> sweltman, Metacity and compiz are WINDOW MANAGERS. Unity is a USER INTERFACE.
[00:17] <KingFisher> I am messing around with them and I cant figure out what I did.
[00:17] <OmegaForte> KingFisher, Well go undo that, and see if it happens again.
[00:18] <sweltman> Omega, I got it now.  So I broke Compiz probably??
[00:18] <szal> ionite: *sigh* you seem to have one b0rked system there..  anyhoo -> Alt+F2 -> 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' -> enter password -> search for the 'deb' lines that end in "natty main" and "natty universe" & change or remove the country code in the URL
[00:18] <ionite> can anyone help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/658947/
[00:18] <OmegaForte> sweltman, Or it crashed, since unity is very new.
[00:18] <Viking667> I can't play music with anything that uses mpd, but I've no idea what's wrong. mpd seems to be able to access the sound device fine, mplayer plays music fine.
[00:18] <Viking667> I'm stuck, and I need some help
[00:19] <Datz> is there someone familiar with grub2 who can help me recover my win7 boot option?
[00:19] <OmegaForte> !grub | Datz
[00:19] <szal> Viking667: what do you use as output in mpd?
[00:19] <ionite> szal: how do i search for deb lines?
[00:19] <Datz> thanks
[00:19] <szal> ionite: e.g. by reading the text
[00:19] <Viking667> . I'd have to check inside /etc/mpd.conf
[00:20] <ionite> szal: i typed the command in the run filed and entered my pswd. nothing happens?
[00:20] <Viking667> hm. Alsa.
[00:21] <sweltman> omega...Unity is not running (it's called a window-decorator by the scrollback, but so far, it's better)
[00:21] <OmegaForte> sweltman, What...You went from unity to what now?
[00:21] <szal> Viking667: should work if you have the right device in there.. but Pulse output will work as well
[00:21] <Viking667> heh. Now I have to figure out what went wrong.
[00:21] <gardnan> whois OmegaForte
[00:21] <sweltman> omega, I am running compiz (I ran the compiz --replace
[00:21] <OmegaForte> gardnan I am me.
[00:22] <gardnan> oh
[00:22] <ionite> szal: nothing appears?
[00:22] <gardnan> sorry
[00:22] <OmegaForte> sweltman, Then you are running unity with compiz decorations and effects.
[00:22] <EgyParadox> Datz: update-grub/update-grub2
[00:22] <sweltman> omega, script for unity-window-decorator is hung (No unity at the moment)
[00:22] <OmegaForte> sweltman, Then restart.
[00:23] <szal> ionite: wtf..
[00:23] <OmegaForte> sweltman, other than that, no other info. I don't use unity because I have a multi-monitor setup and unity hates it.
[00:23] <sweltman> Omega, I restarted before, and I will do it now.  Thank you for your time and knowledge
[00:23] <sweltman> Omega, noted..I won't try unity on multi-screen setups
[00:23] <szal> !tab | sweltman
[00:24] <EgyParadox> !language | szal
[00:24] <sweltman> Ubottu. Thank you..New to IRC! :)
[00:24] <sweltman> (heheh)
[00:24] <sweltman> that's funny...Im talking to a bot!
[00:24] <OmegaForte> sweltman, Nothing has changed. I am bot too! I am a bot of flesh and nerdly nerdence.
[00:25] <elnina> hi :D
[00:25] <sweltman> Omega ROFL!
[00:25] <sweltman> Omega, you're prolly a 15 yr old with acne and too much caffeine
[00:25] <OmegaForte> sweltman, Sure I am.
[00:26] <sweltman> hhehe...Meanwhile, Im old and uninformed
[00:26] <OmegaForte> sweltman, I appreciate the insult. I am old too.
[00:26] <gardnan> does anyone know why the emacs package in the repository is out of date?
[00:26] <sweltman> Omega, we're prob about the same age
[00:26] <OmegaForte> gardar, Because it's emacs. That's why.
[00:26] <szal> sweltman: what do you think I gave you the above factoid for? ;)
[00:27] <Omega> sweltman: Are we?
[00:27] <gardnan> OmegaForte: is there something wrong with emacs?
[00:27] <sweltman> OmegaForte: I think so
[00:27] <Omega> sweltman: Look who you were talking to
[00:27] <Viking667> agggggh.
[00:27] <OmegaForte> gardnan, It's a joke. Emacs doesn't get a lot of love in ubuntu.
[00:27] <gardnan> OmegaForte: ok
[00:27] <Viking667> set the output to pulseaudio, doesn't want to know.
[00:27] <kevin> quit
[00:27] <sweltman> omega, sorry. :(
[00:28] <Omega> !ot
[00:28] <OmegaForte> Here, let me help everyone out.
[00:28] <Fyonte> sweltman, There, now you don't confuse for other guys.
[00:28] <sweltman> OmegaForte: Fyonte, its you?
[00:29] <Fyonte> sweltman, Yes it is.
[00:29] <Fyonte> sweltman, Just easier for now.
[00:29] <Viking667> hey, Fyonte! Haven't seen you for years... didn't know you were on IRC <grin>
[00:29] <Omega> Fyonte: THANK YOU, every single time someone mentioned your name, I got hilighted. I just didn't say anything because everyone is free to have a name of their choosing
[00:29] <szal> ah, didn't even notice that there was anothe similar nick
[00:29] <sweltman> Fyonte, that's confusing to me. :0
[00:29] <Fyonte> Viking667, I don't even know who you are, so sure. I guess?
[00:29] <Datz> gardnan: I thought, perhaps wrongly that package versions were only updated when there were releases
[00:29] <Viking667> I was having you on....
[00:29] <Fyonte> Viking667, Did I fit?
[00:29] <Viking667> naah.
[00:29] <Fyonte> Dangit.
[00:29] <Viking667> meanwhile, I'll go bang my head against stupid mpd.
[00:29] <gardnan> Datz: oh
[00:30] <Polah> Could someone help me with installing OpenRPG? I've installed it using apt-get from the repos but it doesn't show up in my applications list and using the command "openrpg" in terminal doesn't do anything
[00:30] <Datz> gardnan: so you'll have to wait until 11.10
[00:30] <TonyFisher> Hello. I'm the guy who asked for the power management advice on my Ubuntu Netbook.
[00:30] <TonyFisher> I just logged on to the second account and it works normally but the GUIs have changed in style.
[00:30] <TonyFisher> They all look like something from the late 90s early 2000s
[00:30] <gardnan> Datz: kk thanks
[00:30] <Datz> gardnan: were there features or something you were looking forward to in the latest versions of emacs?
[00:31] <Datz> you could always manually install
[00:31] <TonyFisher> Could this be soemthing bigger than just power management differences/?
[00:31] <gardnan> Datz: not really I was just doing some lisp stuff and my windows machine and ubuntu machine were behaving differently
[00:31] <Fyonte> TonyFisher, What? What is the problem?
[00:32] <TonyFisher> Fyonte, my ubuntu netbook on the sudo account would go black (the screen) when I put it on battery power
[00:32] <gardnan> Datz: but it wasn't the version that was causing it
[00:32] <Datz> gardnan: humm, I see
[00:32] <Datz> oh
[00:32] <TonyFisher> The other account doesnt have this problem but i just logged back in and the GUi For firefox and Xchat look completely different.
[00:32] <Viking667> So. What the heck would be stopping mpd from working???
[00:32] <Fyonte> TonyFisher, I don't do netbooks, but it does seem like a mode-switch was done, and it lost track of what it was doing.
[00:33] <Fyonte> TonyFisher, Kinda like Tony Hawk and Sam Fisher did when you made your name. [it is gag. Relax]
[00:33] <Fyonte> TonyFisher, You are now super spy skateboarder....That would be a sweet tv show..
[00:33] <TonyFisher> Fyonte, I have been having battery problems before, so could this be the result of that?
[00:34] <Fyonte> TonyFisher, Probably. Is it still under warranty?
[00:34] <TonyFisher> Fyonte, I don't think so. I have been having these battery problems on start up for a while now
[00:34] <Test__> Problem after bootup OS.  Sometimes the desktop opens showing apps on left side--othertimes desktop shows pulldown menu upper left.  Problem, some apps don't operate correctly under the pulldown menu.  Application is DraftSight
[00:34] <TonyFisher> and now they are starting to manifest themselves in my usage.
[00:34] <TonyFisher> Fyonte, Besides backing up my shit is there anything I can do to fix this netbook?
[00:35] <TonyFisher> Or is it just going to be  a slow decline into oblivion.
[00:35] <Fyonte> TonyFisher, I don't know man. Try a clean install. If it happens more, then something is wrong. I can't offer hardware support without having the device..
[00:35] <TonyFisher> Alright. Many thanks Fyonte.
[00:35] <Fyonte> TonyFisher, And I don't do mobile.

[00:49] <Phase> Why isn't ffmpeg > /dev/null working properly? It still displays the output.
[00:50] <OmegaForte> Phase, Are you trying to output to no device?

[00:52] <idlemind324> apollo: or more where is it not showing up. are you partitioning the drive(s) outside of the ubuntu installer?

[00:52] <Phase> ?
[00:53] <TonyFisher> Phase thanks.

[00:53] <idlemind324> apollo: ok did you do the partitioning work in the installer or simply your disks are not showing up in the installer?
[00:53] <apollo> sda DOES show up for the bootloader option
[00:53] <apollo> not showing up in the installer
[00:54] <apollo> i partitioned with fdisk
[00:54] <idlemind324> apollo: what os did you do fdisk in, something windows?
[00:54] <apollo> nope... the ubuntu install disk.  when i boot it live I can see them in dmesg
[00:54] <apollo> but the install dialog doesn't see them
[00:55] <apollo> i have a /dev/mapper/pdc_blahblahblah option
[00:55] <apollo> and that is it
[00:56] <maum> can i use touch screen on ubuntu?
[00:56] <idlemind324> apollo interesting
[00:56] <Phase> OmegaForte: Didn't see anything resembling the functionality of a --silent, any other ideas?
[00:56] <idlemind324> apollo have you initialized the installer from the live cd?
[00:56] <apollo> frustrating
[00:56] <apollo> idlemind324: initialized?
[00:56] <idlemind324> started
[00:56] <OmegaForte> Phase, Don't know. Sorry brostead.
[00:56] <apollo> yeah...
[00:56] <idlemind324> hmm
[00:56] <coz_> !who
[00:56] <Phase> OmegaForte: np, thanks for trying
[00:57] <apollo> I tried the "Install Ubuntu" button...
[00:57] <apollo> then the "Try Ubuntu" button
[00:57] <apollo> followed by double clicking the install opeion on the desktop
[00:57] <kevin_> hello
[00:57] <idlemind324> apollo at the terminal in the live cd you ran fdisk /dev/sda (or sdb if that is the disk you want to use)
[00:57] <apollo> neither medthod gives me anything
[00:57] <apollo> idlemind324: yes sdb, after nothing was showing up
[00:58] <coz_> apollo,   you may want to try the minimal install cd  only 19 megs and installs via t he net  aka  "net install"    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[00:58] <idlemind324> apollo those commands work and allow you to edit a partition table or they fail?
[00:58] <coz_> apollo,  this is NOT a live cd however,, it installs very similarly to the alternate cd
[00:58] <apollo> idlemind324: they work
[00:58] <apollo> coz_:  will look into it...
[00:59] <osn> hi
[01:00] <idlemind324> apollo: i can't say why the installer wouldn't recognize the disks but i would try the minimal or at least the alternate install next
[01:00] <apollo> yeah will try minimal
[01:00] <osn> ^_^
[01:01] <Raggs> does ubuntu 11.04 have the unity desktop?
[01:01] <apollo> what is the deal with the "/dev/mapper" device?
[01:01] <apollo> is this mapped to a drive somehow?
[01:01] <jgcampbell300> Hello, I am haveing a bit of trouble with my usb external hard drive .. it stores all my music and movies ... and i need to reset the ownership or premmisions of the drive .. when i plug it into a diffrent computer i cant access all of the directories , some of them are owned by root and locked ... i need a way to make it where user of the computer can do everything
[01:01] <jgcampbell300> oh im useing ubuntu 11.04
[01:01] <rww> Raggs: by default, yes
[01:02] <Raggs> jgcampbell300: chown and chgrp
[01:02] <|Slacker|> hello
[01:02] <Raggs> rww: strange, it booted to gnome
[01:03]  * Guest13359 hi
[01:03] <FroyoShark> hello
[01:04] <jgcampbell300> raggs; chmod -R 777 /media/Vol1/
[01:04] <jgcampbell300> Raggs, chmod -R 777 /media/Vol1/ will that change all of the premissions of that drive Vol1
[01:04] <Raggs> jgcampbell300: that would change the permissions
[01:04] <Phase> OmegaForte: ffmpeg > /dev/null 2>&1 worked (thanks #ffmpeg)
[01:05] <jgcampbell300> Raggs, cool ... do i need to chgrp to something diffrent ?
[01:05] <Raggs> jgcampbell300: add sudo to the beginning
[01:05] <idlemind324> jgcampell300 first step would be to find out what your volume is named
[01:05] <idlemind324> jgcampell300 something like: ls /media
[01:06] <idlemind324> jgcampell300 then run the chmod on that directory
[01:06] <codex84> .
[01:09] <jgcampbell300> Raggs, oh ok i see the -R made the changes to all the directories under neath the Vol1 drive
[01:11] <Fretta> I am trying to change my IP address, do i do that in: /etc/network/interfaces ?
[01:12] <idlemind324> Fretta: yes that is the way to do it @ the terminal
[01:12] <idlemind324> Fretta: if you are using the default desktop environment you should see ttwo arrows
[01:12] <idlemind324> fretta in the top right of your screen one going up one going down. that is network manager you can change it there
[01:12] <Fretta> idlemind324 no desktop here, just terminal. Thanks :)
[01:12] <TonyFisher> How do I write some text to a an existing file?

[01:13] <anthony96> Hi, I just made a live CD of 11.10 alpha 3 and when it booted it loaded everything the way its supposed to but the mouse was black is this a bug or because the ATI drivers are not installed?
[01:13] <rww> TonyFisher: > means "replace the contents of the file on the right with the output from the command on the left". >> means "do the same as > except append to the end instead of replacing"
[01:13] <|Slacker|> hey ppl, how do I configure the touchpad to emulate middle button, apparently it ain't working
[01:14] <idlemind324> anthony96 11.10 is in #ubuntu+1 channel (or something similar to that name)
[01:14] <rww> anthony96: #ubuntu+1 for 11.10/oneiric discussion and support, please

[01:25] <programador_nvl0> hello, ihave a ubuntu 10.1 version, and im would like to know, a good tool to build java programs. Somebody can help me?
[01:25] <idlemind324> fretta: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/index.html
[01:26] <Fretta> idlemind324 thank you :)
[01:26] <idlemind324> fretta: for you https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[01:27] <Fretta> idlemind324 nice thank you :)
[01:27] <Viking667> meh.
[01:27] <godlywhizken> why isn't my ipod being recognized in ubuntu 10.04 through usb connection
[01:27] <Viking667> Uninstalled mpd, reinstalled mpd, now it works, but only when nothing else has the sound device.
[01:27] <somsip> Am I right in thinking installing from 11.04 minimal CD would just give me enough to boot from to console login. So I can build X up from there?
[01:27] <Viking667> ... which means it got set up to use alsa. Trying to use it with pulseaudio simply doesn't work.
[01:28] <willwh> Viking667: check out the mpd wiki - from what I remember there are some pulse specific notes
[01:28] <willwh> (it's been a while though)
[01:28] <h4mz1d> is there a way to make the command line not wait for application to close after you launch the application from command line
[01:28] <Viking667> sigh...
[01:29] <Viking667> h4mz1d: appname &
[01:29] <somsip> h4mz1d: command &
[01:29] <maum> can i use touch screen on ubuntu?
[01:29] <Viking667> you should be able to, I have no idea how to set one up though.
[01:30] <jreveles> Hi, I installed the libdvdcss2 but I still cannot see the dvds.. what could be wrong? any help
[01:30] <CaptWho> the numeric keypad is turned on, on my laptop.  how do i turn it off?  when i hit the letter I, i get a 5, when i hit the letter K, i get a 2
[01:31] <Viking667> CaptWho: are they Fn-shifts?
[01:31] <h4mz1d> thank you kind sirs
[01:31] <CaptWho> so the little blue numbers are overriding my normal keys
[01:31] <Viking667> or simply Numlock-on keys?
[01:32] <Viking667> CaptWho: I did ask you a question, by the way
[01:32] <CaptWho> i dont' even see a numlock key
[01:32] <Viking667> First, can you find the Fn key? It should be down beside your Alt or Ctrl key.
[01:32] <CaptWho> normally you'd hold down the fn key to get it to do that
[01:33] <CaptWho> i see the fn key
[01:33] <Viking667> Hit it once.
[01:33] <Viking667> Then tell me if that lets you type letters now
[01:33] <CaptWho> i hit it once, and i still can't type letters
[01:33] <maum> Can someone help me about touch screen?
[01:33] <Viking667> Right. Hold it down, and try typing those same keys?
[01:34] <CaptWho> that doesn't seem to change anything
[01:34] <Viking667> hm. So something's stuck.
[01:34] <Viking667> and you don't see a blue NumLock above any key?
[01:34] <CaptWho> i hold down the function key and hit a O and i still get a 6
[01:34] <jreveles> there should be a little lock with a 9 inside it on your keyborard
[01:35] <CaptWho> YES!
[01:35] <Viking667> hm?
[01:35] <jreveles> so press the FN + that key
[01:35] <CaptWho> i see the numlock key
[01:35] <CaptWho> it worked, thanks
[01:35] <CaptWho> have no idea how i missed that one, but thanks
[01:35] <Viking667> CaptWho: now, remember it.
[01:35] <jreveles> great! :)
[01:35]  * Viking667 smiles
[01:38] <jreveles> has anyone installed the libdvdcss2 package for playing encrypted dvds ?
[01:38] <CaptWho> thanks again, Viking667
[01:38] <coz_> jreveles, yes hold on
[01:39] <jreveles> coz_, ok
[01:39] <coz_> jreveles,   run this command      sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[01:39] <jreveles> yep.. I've run that command, but still doesn't work.. :(
[01:41] <jreveles> coz_, it had worked for me in past ubuntu versions, but not on this one 11.04
[01:41] <coz_> jreveles,  that command should work on 11.04
[01:42] <jreveles> coz_, what should I do if I still cannot see the DVDs, after running that?
[01:42] <coz_> jrdnyquist,   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

[01:53] <Antonis> hello folks. I have a problem I was trying to connect my tv to my computer and messed up things so now I have no X :\ could someone pls help me?
[01:53] <dli> Antonis, can you startx again with TV connected
[01:53] <Antonis> dli the problem is that I manually edited xorg file and removed monitor and screen but something went wrong
[01:54] <dli> Antonis, you can startx without an xorg.conf
[01:54] <Antonis> I tried startx but it won'
[01:54] <Antonis> won't start
[01:55] <Antonis> fatal server error: no screens found
[01:55] <dli> Antonis, without xorg.conf?
[01:56] <Antonis> should I remove xorg.conf dli?
[01:56] <Viking667> bah. Getting rather mad at X crashing every so $(random_figure) minutes.
[01:58] <Antonis> hello so now X started (Thanks!!) but the resolution etc. is a mess. and the TV is still not showing anything :\
[01:59] <Antonis> dli, any suggestions?

[02:01] <jreveles> I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, libdvdcss2 (sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh), but still cannot play encrypted DVDs. I start vlc from the command line, then I get this error (among others) when opening the DVDs: libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB (0x0000a982)!!
[02:02] <jreveles> any suggestion?  I've also removed the directory .dvdcss
[02:03] <jetscreamer> some encryptions are not supported by libdvdcss yet
[02:03] <Antonis> back. everything is fine now  but the TV won't show anything :\
[02:03] <jetscreamer> from my experience
[02:03] <jreveles> but I was able to play those same DVDs before  :(
[02:04] <jetscreamer> ok well then your problem is different
[02:05] <jreveles> jetscreamer, any other place that I might be missing to look?
[02:07] <jetscreamer> jreveles: no idea :(
[02:08] <jreveles> jetscreamer, thanks.. I will see if I get it fixed

[02:10] <catorceavo> hi
[02:11] <catorceavo> i am ssh'ed into an ubuntu machine and i am trying to figure out what scripts run at startup
[02:12] <mrgenixus> I need a file in a package (that I have installed) to replace the file I have installed (it's corrupted) how do I get it?
[02:12] <jetscreamer> /etc/init.d
[02:12] <jetscreamer> for scripts
[02:13] <jetscreamer> dpkg -i *.deb, or if you need a conf --force-confmiss or something
[02:13] <jetscreamer> but i forget
[02:14] <th0r> mrgenixus: if you have the original deb file, and if you have mc installed, you can use mc to navigate into the deb file and copy what you want, where you want
[02:15] <mrgenixus> I think "dpkg -S /path/to/the/file" is the answer I got in #debian, and I can use that, I think.. checking the docs
[02:15] <mrgenixus> thanks all, for help
[02:17] <jrib> mrgenixus: well that command just tells you what package owns a file
[02:19] <jetscreamer> apt-get install --reinstall
[02:19] <jetscreamer> watch dpkg the bot
[02:22] <syntaxx> im having slowness problem in ubuntu 10.04 with quad display. im running 2 dual-head nvidia nvs quadro 295.. any idea how to fix this?
[02:24] <Antonis> I have an nvidia card and would like to connect my tv to my computer as a second display (not all the time) to watch a movie. how do I do that?
[02:25] <jetscreamer> syntaxx: you might also ask in #nvidia at the same time
[02:25] <jetscreamer> Antonis: nvidia-settings should do the trick, off/on toggle
[02:26] <Antonis> jetscreamer, I tried that but the tv won't show anything
[02:26] <bluebomber> Under Appearance Preferences > Background, I have some duplicate wallpapers. Where is this list of images (to which I can add and from which I can remove) stored, and can the duplicates be removed automatically?
[02:30] <maum> I cannot see speaker icon from tray
[02:31] <Antonis> jetscreamer, is there a way to toggle it on off or something? I am selecting the tv screen, I select twinview it seems to be ok but I get no picture in the tv :\
[02:32] <jetscreamer> Antonis: iirc if the tv is off/disconnected when the comptuer boots it won't be automagically detected, but iirc there is a rescan option i 'think'
[02:33] <catorceavo> how do i upstart?
[02:33] <jetscreamer> 'might' be a nvidia-settings --rescanforthetvplease or whatever... man nvidia-settings

[02:33] <jetscreamer> sure long as it's set up right, braxton
[02:33] <braxton> How does one set it up right?
[02:33] <Antonis> thanks I'll read through it
[02:33] <braxton> I just installed mailutils and it hasn't came through yet.
[02:34] <jetscreamer> tel it where the mail server is and stuff
[02:34] <braxton> Uh. Well, I certainly didn't do that.
[02:34] <jetscreamer> aka outbound.mail.com or whatever you use
[02:34] <braxton> All I did was "mail me@example.com"
[02:35] <ga_pro1988> how to set vmware on BT4???
[02:35] <jetscreamer> i don't know how to tell you to set it up, just know it needs to be

[02:37] <ga_pro1988> can it set ol on web backtrack.it???

[02:37] <rww> !register > ga_pro1988
[02:38] <ga_pro1988> oh thank
[02:38] <jetscreamer> braxton: you would need something like exim4 or postfix or someting  then

[02:39] <TBotNik> All: One of my computers locked up and thought I had bad motherboard only to find ext HD was responsible, but in the process somehow crashed all my network settings.  HOWTO please!  I have already edited the /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf; then restarted the network and even rebooted but the eth2 and the wlan0 configs do not come up and on network restart are giving "Disabled" errors.

[02:44] <braxton> Wow, that's neat.
[02:45] <ga_pro1988> how to channel to backtrack-linux?
[02:45] <rww> ga_pro1988: /join #backtrack-linux
[02:49] <rww> My apologies for the incoming modespam.
[02:49] <braxton> jetscreamer: Hey, I just used tasksel to install the mail server.
[02:50] <braxton> jetscreamer: And I was able to send an e-mail.
[02:50] <jetscreamer> \o/
[02:50] <braxton> jetscreamer: Unfortunately, I replied to my e-mail using my ip address, and I don't know how to get it on my computer.
[02:50] <jetscreamer> not my forte, i have a webhost
[02:51] <braxton> jetscreamer: I tried using 'mail' with no arguments, but it tells me root has no mail.
[02:53] <catorceavo> where can ilook for startup scripts in ubuntu
[02:53] <catorceavo> ?
[02:53] <apn> catorceavo, /etc/rc.d
[02:53] <ga_pro1988> why, i join  in backtrack-linux but i can't send any message??
[02:53] <rww> !register | ga_pro1988
[02:54] <rww> ga_pro1988: because you're not identified with nickserv, see above
[02:54] <jetscreamer> braxton: might need to set your local mta up to be a forwarding thing to another mailserver, iirc they want an fqdn not just an ip for mail servers
[02:54] <jetscreamer> but i forget
[02:54] <jetscreamer> /etc/init.d
[02:54] <jetscreamer> also
[02:54] <catorceavo> there is no /etc/rc.d, theres a bunch or rc0-rcS
[02:55] <jetscreamer> for the links to the rc dirs
[02:55] <jetscreamer> yes
[02:55] <jetscreamer> 0 is shutdown, 1 is single, 2-5 are multi
[02:55] <jetscreamer> iirc you type init to see which you are in
[02:55] <braxton> jetscreamer: Are you saying that Gmail doesn't like it when I use an IP address instead of a domain name?
[02:56] <jetscreamer> if you type init 0 you will halt... 6 is reboot?
[02:56] <jetscreamer> braxton: i'm saying i think that right but i haven't messed with mailservers in a while and i might be wrong but i don't think i am but i'm not sure, if you really wanna know :)
[02:56] <catorceavo> how do i figure out what run level i am in?
[02:57] <rww> catorceavo: 'initctl list', per http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#list-all-jobs
[02:57] <jetscreamer> type init
[02:57] <rww> catorceavo: which is an excellent resource in general.
[02:57] <rww> Ubuntu uses upstart, not SysVInit, so Things Are Different Here™
[02:57] <Viking667> sigh. I've given up. I've had enough. I'm freaking removing everything and starting again.
[02:57] <jetscreamer> o.. if that was for me

[02:58] <jetscreamer> just delete ~

[03:06] <Viking667> ohh,h hang on. I knw this one
[03:06] <Viking667> idlemind324: I use Ctl-Alt-arrows
[03:06] <semi-afk> ctrl +alt + up/down/left/right , idlemind324
[03:06] <Viking667> yeah.
[03:06] <idlemind324> viking667 and others you are the winner(s)
[03:06] <idlemind324> thanks much
[03:06] <Viking667> whi, thank yuo
[03:07] <Viking667> err, why, thank you.
[03:07] <Viking667> I must be better than I thought, even in my current mental state
[03:07] <luckysmack> ok so i have an external hd which i use frequently across computers. in ubuntu to auto have ntfs read/write support i installed ntfs-config. but now only root can mount or unmount it. as soon as i plug it in/try to unmount i get a message saying only root can do that. if it was something that was always mounted id just add a line to fstab. so how can i make it so i auto have ntfs r/w suport but i can mount/unmount anytime?
[03:08] <semi-afk> luckysmack: why you have to install ntfs-config, ubuntu-desktop come with the ntfs-3g and auto mount it with gvfs
[03:10] <luckysmack> when i had tried to connect it before installing ntfs-config i didnt have rx permissions and was owned by root.
[03:10] <luckysmack> semi-afk, and i had ntfs-3g installed
[03:10] <luckysmack> im on natty.
[03:10] <joint> who upgraded to 11.10 alpha 3?
[03:10] <rww> joint: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support, please.
[03:10] <semi-afk> luckysmack: it is installed by default
[03:10] <luckysmack> yea i know.
[03:11] <luckysmack> it was already there. i installed the config cause i remembered having the same issue in the past and the config app fixing it.
[03:11] <semi-afk> luckysmack: do you have and entry in fstab for that drive?
[03:12] <cypha> how do you reinstall an app?
[03:12] <luckysmack> not normally no. i thought fstab was only for drives that were always going to be mounted to the system on boot.
[03:12] <dan_> i need help woth formating please
[03:12] <hylian> is there a way to unpretty unity? the shadows and stuff are slowing my netbook down a lot.
[03:12] <semi-afk> luckysmack: may be uninstall ntfs-config then
[03:12] <mrlane> need some help
[03:12] <luckysmack> cypha, sudo apt-get remove APP && sudo apt-get install APP
[03:13] <dan_> i have a 16 g micro sd sedure digital drive... can it be formated?
[03:13] <ccw> Hey folks.  Any non-gui LVM users around?
[03:13] <hylian> mrlane just ask your questions
[03:13] <cypha> luckysmack: what about with aptitude?
[03:13] <xangua> !classic
[03:13] <xangua> hylian: try classic or unity-2d
[03:13] <luckysmack> cypha, if you want to remove the config files as well add '--purge'' before the remove line.
[03:13] <luckysmack> cypha, same
[03:13] <mrlane> running into authentication error when using the terminal
[03:13] <semi-afk> dan_: you can with System > Admin > Disk Uilt.
[03:13] <luckysmack> semi-afk, yea i will now
[03:13] <Tbruff13> hey I can't paste into my friends ubuntu one folder i am trying to paste pictures into it so i can store them help it says permission denied when i move them from the folder
[03:13] <mrlane> how would i be able to reset or confirm password?
[03:14] <dan_> i tried still does not work
[03:14] <dan_> i do not understand
[03:14] <hylian> xangua, i have spent 3 hours tweaking unity, and really don't want to go through that process again. does unity-2d mimic unity 4?
[03:14] <luckysmack> ive never really used ubuntuOne. i have a dropbox. would there still be a benefit to ubuntuOne if i used the free version?
[03:14] <dan_> i have tried everything in dis util and nothing will format this dang micro sd card!!!
[03:14] <ccw> rather, anyone familiar with the procedure for adding a new HDD to expand an LV from the command line?
[03:15] <luckysmack> dan_, gparted?
[03:15] <hylian> mrlane, before we get into that, what are you trying to do.. could be a hint to what's going on
[03:15] <dan_> hmmm il try
[03:15] <Tbruff13> hey can someone answer my quick question i would why can't i paste pictures in ubuntu one folder
[03:16] <luckysmack> dan_, gparted should format just about anything.
[03:16] <dan_> k
[03:16] <mrlane> hylian, i'm trying to install SmartBoard software using the su command
[03:16] <dan_> i thought it might just be cus it is a secure sd card but i dunno
[03:16] <semi-afk> !permission | Tbruff13 check the permission if you can write to the folder ?
[03:17] <rww> Tbruff13: #ubuntuone may be able to help if #ubuntu doesn't, btw
[03:17] <hylian> mrlane it's not su in ubuntu. it's sudo command password.
[03:18] <mouse> How much trouble is gnome3?
[03:19] <lsemple> hi I just reinstalled xubuntu 10.04 on my system, is there a way to set which partition the /home folder is after Ubuntu has been reinstalled ???
[03:19] <hylian> mrlane, if you really want to gain su access, you can type sudo su, but sudo command password is the usual way to get things done
[03:19] <rww> sudo -i
[03:19] <rww> mouse: Depends on what you mean by trouble. The GNOME 3 builds for released versions of Ubuntu are unstable and unsupported, so in those terms, I'd say "quite a bit".
[03:19] <lsemple> my origional folder is /home,. and I thought I could just reinstall the os, and keep the /home folder which is on the second partition,
[03:19] <lsemple> but the install set the /home folder all on the same partition as the root
[03:20] <mouse> rww, lol that would explain the mixed reviews.  Thank you.
[03:20] <lsemple> can I change where the /home folder is stored now that the system is installed ?
[03:20] <lsemple> or should I reinstall ?
[03:20] <Mike9863> How can I make it so that when I attempt to connect to a certain IP address, it will connect to a different one that I specify instead?
[03:20] <somsip> lsemple: you will have to boot to livecd, create a new home partition some where else, mount your current /home somewhere, mount the new /home somewhere, copy all from old home to new home, mount current / and edit current /etc/fstab to mnt /home from it's new location
[03:20] <luckysmack> dan_, if its encrypted, yea maybe not without some hacking ork nowing the pass.
[03:20] <centr0> spotify on ubuntu!  win!
[03:20] <idlemind324> mike9863 i'd guess iptables could accomplish that for you
[03:20] <rww> !separatehome | lsemple: this may or may not be useful
[03:21] <somsip> lsemple: and it';s recommend to do a copy using cpio (I did when moving log and var to other partitions). Google has more info
[03:21] <idlemind324> mike9863 i'd guess you'd treat it similar to how you configure iptables to forward stuff that comes in on certain ports to internal boxes
[03:21] <somsip> doh - you mean there's a bot command for that :)
[03:21] <idlemind324> mike 9863 just kind of reversed
[03:22] <Mike9863> idlemind324, okay I'll look into it. Thanks.
[03:23] <esd> hi
[03:23] <esd> is there a fix for the time stampin xchat (um using ubuntu 11.04)?
[03:23] <lsemple> is there a way to reset the path of where the home folder resides from my O/s's partition to the second partition I already have, so I can recover the stuff in my home folder ?
[03:23] <idlemind324> ubuntu 10.04 lts. i have a device (eth3) configured in /etc/networking/interfaces. when i issue a stop to the service it leaves eth3 up but shuts off my other adapters that are configured with dhcp
[03:24] <idlemind324> why is this?
[03:24] <lsemple> or am I forced to format that second partition, in which I would have to back-up everything to another drive ect ect
[03:24] <merlot> hello, is there a ubuntu channel for programmers?
[03:24] <rww> Hi. At every boot, I have to unmute the "Front" channel of my sound chip and raise the volume on it to be able to hear sound. I do this using alsamixer. Apparently, I have a "HDA Intel Analog Devices AD1988B". How do I make it so the chip isn't muted on startup?
[03:25] <sublim21_> hey all.  Im new to ubuntu (and linux in general).  can anyone suggest a good web developer text editor?  I need a program that will auto fill js, html and css and has a folder/file viewer
[03:25] <idlemind324> merlot: #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-dev
[03:26] <somsip> lsemple: boot to live cd, mount current / somewhere, edit /etc/fstab to point at the intended home partition. Sounds like you'll have to do something to copy files over though. See my first answer or the bot hint
[03:26] <centHOGG> bluefish
[03:26] <sublim21_> bluefish?
[03:26] <merlot> idlemind324: thank you kind sir!
[03:26] <luckysmack> sublim21, for a full IDE, i like netbeans. does eveyrthing. something simple i like sublime text 2 (no auto complete)
[03:26] <centHOGG> !bluefish
[03:26] <mouse> rww, A good quick fix might be to write a script and set it run at startup.
[03:26] <centHOGG> wiki it
[03:27] <rww> mouse: I know, but I want to do it The Right Way, which I doubt that is.
[03:27] <sublim21_> lucksmack i was using netbeans.  its good but might be a little too much for my wee little netbook
[03:27] <sublim21_> luckysmack: see above
[03:27] <luckysmack> ah for a minimal laptop. yea bluefish is good
[03:27] <mouse> rww, Yeah that's more of a band-aid rather than a cure.
[03:28] <luckysmack> sublim21, how much ram and resources will you have available?
[03:28] <sublim21_> luckysmack: i just installed the extra ram for 2gb and dual core 1.6ghz something or other
[03:29] <sublim21_> im going to try out bluefish just to see if i like it better
[03:29] <centHOGG> sublim21: may the force be with you
[03:29] <luckysmack> sublim21, to be honest i think netbeans will still run. you could try. but otherwise try bluefish. some people like scite i think. and for css, 'cssed' is neat
[03:30] <sublim21_> centHOGG: Force?  we don't need no stinking force
[03:31] <sublim21_> luckysmack: im going to install netbeans just to see if this thing can handle it.  but im going to check out bluefish later as well.
[03:31] <sublim21_> thanks all for the help :D
[03:31] <sublim21_> oh, another question
[03:31] <sublim21_> i just spent like 2 hours installing this version of ubuntu because of its 'uniquness' and i'd like to back up ubuntu.  how can i do this?
[03:32] <luckysmack> !backup
[03:33] <cowslammer> besides GIMP is there a graphics utility that will let me resize images?
[03:34] <luckysmack> sublim21, there a few places to start. for config files and the like, i actually throw mine into git repos which are hosted on my webserver. you can also do things like having your /home directory mounted to another partition so if you have to re-install you still have all your settings
[03:35] <sublim21_> luckysmack: what do you recommend?
[03:35] <luckysmack> cowslammer, imagemagic can do from the command line.
[03:35] <luckysmack> its pretty easy too. has good documentation on howto do it.
[03:36] <felipe_Brz> cowslammer: imagemagick
[03:36] <luckysmack> sublim21, i have my home, opt, and srv directories on another harddrive. and my main part of the OS is on a SSD. so if i reinstall i just do so normally and tell the installer the path to those directories
[03:37] <Bernhard> How do i create a hard link to this directory /usr/share/nginx/www/site/userfiles from this directory /usr/share/nginx/www/site2/             So when the website script on site2 want to create files in dir /userfiles it will be done in /usr/share/nginx/www/site/userfiles
[03:37] <dingurt> !Ln
[03:37] <luckysmack> BernardV, ln -s existingDir newDir
[03:37] <dingurt> Oops
[03:37] <dingurt> luckysmack: Thats a soft link
[03:38] <luckysmack> ooh, your right
[03:38] <dingurt> !ln
[03:38] <dingurt> Bah...
[03:38] <dingurt> man ln
[03:40] <sublim21_> luckysmack: im confused by what you said :/  im brand spanking new man.  can you recommend a wiki or something?
[03:40] <sublim21_> how do i install a file called netbeans-7.0.1-ml-php-linux.sh ?
[03:41] <luckysmack> subanomic, ./netbeans-7.0.1-ml-php-linux.sh
[03:41] <luckysmack>  the command ' ./ ' means execute this file from the terminal
[03:41] <luckysmack> sublim21, ^^
[03:41] <dingurt> sublim21_: chmod +x netbeans-7.0.1-ml-php-linux.sh
[03:41] <luckysmack> subanomic, sorry bad autocomplete
[03:41] <dingurt> sublim21_: Then run ./netbeans-7.0.1-ml-php-linux.sh
[03:42] <sublim21_> ok.  thanks.
[03:42] <sublim21_> is there a cheat sheet for operating the terminal?
[03:42] <rww> !terminal
[03:42] <luckysmack> beat me to it
[03:42] <dingurt> !fortune
[03:42] <dingurt> Boo
[03:42] <sublim21_> D:
[03:43] <sublim21_> so much help too little time!
[03:43] <luckysmack> what was the link here for setting up your home dir in another partition?
[03:43] <rww> !separatehome | luckysmack
[03:43] <dingurt> ln
[03:43] <luckysmack> ah
[03:43] <luckysmack> sublim21, ^^
[03:43] <sublim21_> luckysmack: thanks all

[04:00] <NoReGreT> thanks :)
[04:08] <free99> hey all, I'm having an issue where my 11.04 xubuntu client won't correctly mount my encrypted home directory after I logout then back in
[04:08] <free99> someone suggested putting "/bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true" into my /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default file...
[04:09] <free99> but others are saying it doesn't work. Any ideas?
[04:12] <cjs_> I have a laptop that's currently dual-boot (10.04 and XP). I'd like to run my XP partition in a KVM instance; is there a way to do that? Setting the instance's block storage device to /dev/sda gets me a grub menu, but when I boot Windows from that it fails with "A disk read error occured. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart."
[04:12] <merlot> mmm fishbones
[04:12] <cjs_> Or would this be better asked on the #kvm channel?
[04:14] <semi-afk> cjs_: i think KVM isn't for WINXP
[04:15] <cjs_> semi-afk: What do you mean? It's a hardware-emulating VM: it should run anything.
[04:15] <dli> cjs_, VM means virtual machine, don't think you can point the hard drive to a real /dev/sda
[04:16] <Mexibuntu> Hi
[04:16] <free99> sorry to bump, but... anyone have any suggestions for dealing with the gvfs error I'm having with my encrypted home directory?
[04:16] <cjs_> dli: I don't see why it should make a difference. /dev/sda is simply a long list of bytes that can be read or written in block size chunks. Just like a file, or /dev/sda1, or whatever.
[04:16] <maum> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/167005
[04:17] <dli> cjs_, by default, VM has no access to any real hardware,everything provided from software virtualization
[04:17] <Mexibuntu> After a recent update of my Ubuntu 11.04 system, the flash plugin is now extremly slow and ineffective. Do any other users experience the same issue ? (using chromium here)
[04:18] <jbhewitt> Mexibuntu - chrome doesn't use the flash plugin
[04:18] <jbhewitt> it uses it's own implementation
[04:18] <dli> cjs_, in other words, the /dev/sda seen by OS in virtual machine has no relation with /dev/sda in the host OS
[04:19] <rww> jbhewitt: Chrome, yes. Mexibuntu said Chromium.
[04:19] <jbhewitt> rww and with that i bow out
[04:20] <Mexibuntu> rww: So chrome uses it's own "internal" plugin and chromium the system one ?
[04:20] <Mexibuntu> So either i try to replace the system plugin or give a try to chrome, right ?
[04:21] <rww> Mexibuntu: Chromium doesn't include Flash as it's non-free, so I would imagine so.
[04:21] <rww> (I don't use Flash, so...)
[04:21] <rww> sorry, clarification: Debian and Ubuntu's chromium packages don't. I don't know if this is true of Chromium upstream, though I imagine it is.
[04:22] <cjs_> dli: I am assigning /dev/sda on the host as the source for /dev/sda in the guest, so they should be identical. I.e., if you read a block from /dev/sda in the guest, you should get the exact same data that you'd get if you read it from /dev/sda in the host. Or does it not work that way?
[04:22] <JZApples> Is there a way to change where Evolution stores all it's data and move that to a software RAID array?
[04:22] <Mexibuntu> rww: Thanks for the detailed answer. Is it easy to use an "earlier" package of flash ?
[04:23] <rww> Mexibuntu: I don't know, sorry
[04:24] <dli> cjs_, -hda /dev/sda ?
[04:24] <Mexibuntu> rww: Thanks for the help though :) Let me RTFM for a while :p
[04:25] <preecher> i wanna setup dual boot--my distro's choices are ubuntu of course but the other distro i was planning on installing uses legacy grub---i tried doing this before & after i install the other distro on my empty partition i dont see ubuntu or the choice to boot into ubuntu--is this because they use different grubs?
[04:26] <larie> hello
[04:26] <larie> http://www.emagasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/korean-keyboard.gif
[04:26] <Braden`> Hello
[04:26] <larie> is that right layout?
[04:26] <Braden`> I have a network connection (wired), but I cannot browse any websites.  I can ping external sites though
[04:27] <larie> Braden`: try nmap that site
[04:27] <larie> Braden`: if nmap will say that 80 port of site is closted or filtered
[04:27] <larie> Braden`: then problem is on your router/provider network
[04:28] <larie> Braden`: like packet filtering/mtu discovery black hole
[04:28] <Braden`> nmap is not currently installed.  Cannot install it because of dns issues I reckon
[04:29] <Braden`> How do I check my dns servers?
[04:29] <Braden`> They aren't listed in ifconfig
[04:30] <mcurran> Is it possible to manually update chipset firmware like nforce or smbus without upgrading the kernel?
[04:30] <th0r> Braden`: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[04:30] <larie> Braden`: whoops that is ubuntu channel :) sorry
[04:30] <larie> Braden`: nano /etc/resolv.conf
[04:31] <larie> Braden`: you need to edit that by hand if you do not use dhcp
[04:31] <cjs_> dli: I didn't understand that last comment. In the VM configuration, block device /dev/sda is used as "IDE Disk 1".
[04:31]  * Blue1 hates network mangler
[04:32] <th0r> Blue1: if you really hate it, dump it and install wicd
[04:32] <dli> cjs_, oh, I mean from command line, something like: qemu-kvm -hda /dev/sda
[04:33] <Blue1> th0r: i did long ago
[04:33] <th0r> Blue1: just for the record...I agree with you <smile>
[04:34] <Blue1> th0r: http://pkill-9.com/making-ubuntudebian-linux-do-its-own-dns-domain-name-service/
[04:34] <JZApples> Probably a dumb question, but in /dev/sda, does the sd stand for anything specific?  I assume dev is device and a, b, c1, c2, etc... is the ATA port/drive, but what is sd?
[04:35] <th0r> JZApples: I think it stands for sata. The ide drives I believe are identified as hda, hdb, etc
[04:35] <Blue1> JZApples: good question
[04:35] <Lasers> JZApples: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Flash-Memory-HOWTO/basics.html -- SCSI disk -- See 6.2
[04:37] <JZApples> th0r, that makes sense.  The letters don't really matter right?  For some reason my OS drive got initalized as /dev/sdb and my storage RAID array got marked as /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2.  That's not going to hurt anything is it?
[04:37] <Braden`> That fixed it
[04:37] <Braden`> Thank you!
[04:37] <cjs_> dli: Yes, I've got that, more or less. I'm using virt-manager, but it runs kvm with "-boot c -drive file=/dev/sda,if=ide,index=0,boot=on,format=raw" among other options.
[04:37] <th0r> JZApples: I don't think it will hurt anything. So long as the designations do not change from one boot to another it should be OK.
[04:38] <dli> cjs_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Directly
[04:39] <dli> cjs_, it says use the option with care
[04:39] <JZApples> th0r, they shouldn't change, but i don't actually have them listed in fstab.  Is that something I want to make sure and configure?

[04:40] <K_Dallas> Good evening folks!Q: I am trying to copy my windows HOSTS file content into /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.deny.  It seems though, that it is not blocking the IPs in my list.  I have used one or another of the files and both at the same time as well with no avail,  Thanks for any help
[04:42] <ewww> if command sudo do-release-upgrade, what possible directories on my system would be erased? i had joomla installed w/dbase on it, would that be erased?
[04:44] <Lasers> ewww: No clue. Backup. Backup your backup. Backup the backup of your backup.
[04:44] <th0r> JZApples: I am not an expert on this. I have always had all the internal drives defined in fstab, and would be wary about any config that didn't do that.
[04:46] <JZApples> th0r,  I really think I should look into setting everything up in there.  Any idea what /dev/md0 stands for then?  It's a software RAID array that I have setup by following directions online.  They called it md0 and I'm just curious if you knew.

[04:48] <JZApples> th0r, lol oh man i've got two of them.   Configuring the software RAID 10 right now and I've already got a external hardward RAID 10 enclosure that is up and running.  However I don't have anything but the floppy in fstab and I have been wondering about that since  installed a couple weeks ago.

[04:53] <K_Dallas> Lasers,  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/659048/ & http://paste.ubuntu.com/659047/ for hosts.deny and hosts
[05:01] <Lasers> K_Dallas: Try putting all hosts.deny lines in hosts. (I don't know if Ubuntu use /etc/hosts.deny
[05:03] <K_Dallas> Lasers, I will try that. Thanks
[05:04] <dr_willis> hosts and hosts.deny have differnt syntax. :)
[05:07] <K_Dallas> dr_willis, I see. I use hosts then
[05:07] <dr_willis> depending on what it is you are trying to do.
[05:08] <K_Dallas> dr_willis, I have my windows block IP lists and want to use it the same under linux
[05:08] <K_Dallas> they are in 127.0.0.1 ip.add format
[05:09] <K_Dallas> seems that I don't need 127.0.0.1 in hosts.deny
[05:09] <dr_willis> sounds like you want to put the stuff in hosts then. hosts.deny is totally differnt :)
[05:09] <dr_willis> 127.0.0.1 in hosts.deny would seem.. weird.
[05:09] <K_Dallas> I understnad, thanks
[05:09] <K_Dallas> understand*
[05:11] <cjs_> dli: Thanks, I'll look in to that. Unfortunately, I've got to run now....
[05:13] <K_Dallas> Lasers, dr_willis it seems to be working fine now (using only hosts) thanks
[05:13] <uRock> I uninstalled xubuntu-desktop and installed ubuntu-desktop, which package do I install to get the ubuntu boot slpash? Thanx
[05:16] <dr_willis> I thought Plymouth has replaced the 'splash' stuff. You could check the pacakge manager for Plymouth themes.
[05:19] <uRock> will do dr_willis
[05:19] <rww> uRock: try plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo
[05:19] <rww> (assuming you're on >= maverick)
[05:20] <uRock> 11.04
[05:20] <rww> there's also plymouth-theme-xubuntu-text if you're using a video card that doesn't do graphical plymouth
[05:21] <amanthakur> hi guys can anyone tell me how can i install gimptool from repositories?
[05:21] <dr_willis> !info gimptool
[05:22] <dr_willis> amanthakur,  you mean from a 'ppa' ?
[05:22] <uRock> rww, that hit the spot. removing them now, thanx
[05:22] <rww> !find gimptool
[05:22] <amanthakur> dr_willis, i mean the tool for making scripts in gimp
[05:22] <rww> amanthakur, dr_willis: libgimp2.0-dev might be useful
[05:23] <rww> the name of the program is then "gimptool-2.0"
[05:23] <amanthakur> rww, yes
[05:23] <dr_willis> The program 'gimptool-2.0' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[05:23] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev
[05:23] <amanthakur> rww, i installed that in fedora yesterday that was with this name only :)
[05:24] <amanthakur> dr_willis, couldn't find any package with that name :)
[05:25] <fructose> I just got another laptop and am transfering files over my wireless network. Unfortunately they're only going at about 1mbps. Why might that be? Both computers are rather new
[05:25] <dr_willis> could be a differnt version#. im on 11.10 here.
[05:25] <amanthakur> dr_willis, do i need to enable any special repos? Because i have enabled only those repos which comes in with ubuntu by default
[05:25] <dr_willis> !info libgimp2.0-dev
[05:25] <dr_willis> Its in main.. check your spelling...
[05:26] <rww> and run sudo apt-get update
[05:26] <amanthakur> dr_willis, yesh that was a spelling mistake :P
[05:26] <amanthakur> dr_willis, thanks :)
[05:26] <amanthakur> rww, thank to you too...:)
[05:26] <uRock> that fixed the boot splashes, does anyone know how to get rid of the xubuntu login screen theming?
[05:27] <rww> uRock: xubuntu-gdm-theme
[05:27] <uRock> rww, thanx
[05:27] <JZApples> Can anyone recommend a good site for setting up fstab with multiple drives?  One regular sata drive with the OS installed.  A software RAID 10 array with 4 drives.  And a hardware RAID 10 external enclosure.
[05:28] <dr_willis> !raid
[05:28] <amanthakur> JZApples, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[05:29] <amanthakur> !fstab > JZApples
[05:30] <fructose> Anyone know a good place to ask about networking issues? Namely, my file transfer between Ubuntu and Windows 7 is only going 1mbps and that seems very slow to me for a home network
[05:30] <JZApples> thank you
[05:30] <fructose> I get 7mbps on the web
[05:34] <dr_willis> fructose,  wired or wireless networking?
[05:35] <dli> fructose, wifi <-> wifi can get 1MB/s or 2MB/s with -g network
[05:37] <uRock> which package handles gnome-about-me?
[05:40] <uRock> re my above, I found what I needed, I needed to reinstall evolution-data-server for gnome-about-me to work
[05:48] <TBotNik> All: Back, did not succeed getting network back online under HDD boot so here again on liveCD.
[05:53] <bullgard4_> Where can I find an introduction to the MMC kernel subsystem?
[05:53] <mouse> when distro's gonna replace iwconfig with iw command
[05:55] <bullgard4_> mouse: Have you made a statement or have you put a question here?
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> !away > oFFzzSuBmUnDo
[05:57] <JZApples> If I have an external hardware RAID enclosure, would I want to include that in fstab?  Will the system have errors during boot if I add the array in fstab and it's not turned on?
[05:57] <oFFzzSuBmUnDo> sorry
[05:57] <oFFzzSuBmUnDo> :)
[05:57] <meomic> hey, is it me or the flash 11 64bit dont work - i mean full screen work so slow, and even windowed crash so much - anyone has same? (ubuntu 11.04 x86-64bit)
[05:57] <amanthakur> dr_willis, i am trying to install a gimp plugin but it is giving me an error that cannot find /root/.gimp2 but i have installed gimp using the synaptic. Any idea to resolve it?
[05:58] <DKSAINI> hello
[05:58] <amanthakur> Hi guys, i am trying to install a gimp plugin but it is giving me an error that cannot find /root/.gimp2 but i have installed gimp using the synaptic. Any idea to resolve it?
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> JZApples: i think it would just fail to mount. Try it and see. You can always boot to liveCd to undo the change if it creates an issue
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> amanthakur: why are you running gimp as root?
[05:59] <DKSAINI> i have sound problem in ubuntu10.04
[05:59] <mouse> bullgard4 not sure i was wondering if iwconfig will be replaced with the iw command
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> !details | DKSAINI
[06:00] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, i am not running as a root, i am a normal sudoer. But its giving me that error
[06:00] <JZApples> ActionParsnip, thanks.  Probably a dumb question, but I want to make sure and add the hard drive in fstab that the OS is setup on, correct?
[06:00] <bullgard4_> mouse: I see. --  I guess that it will not be replaced in the next time.
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> amanthakur: if you run it as user then /root is not a factor
[06:02] <mouse> k thx i was wondering how much is the same as the iwconfig but maybe will learn more about it as it comes to that
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> JZApples: if you installed to the array it should have generated fstab. If not (or you are moving the array) then yes
[06:02] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, i am getting this error please see "/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file /home/aman/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/elsamuko-copy-move: No such file or directory.  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> amanthakur: does the file exist from the error?
[06:04] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, i have a C file in the PWD.
[06:04] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, i am trying to compile and install that file only
[06:05] <korst3n> hey. is there a wget daemon with http interface? like transmissionbt's web ui for downloading over http?
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> amanthakur: then you'll need to compile the file using the instructions from the site you got it from
[06:06] <shotgun_> Is it possible to setup a keyboard shortcut in gnome terminal to make it turn opaque?
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> korst3n: fatrat downloads nearly anything and has web ui
[06:07] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, i resolved it...just got an idea of the first after installationof gimp :P anyways thank you....actualy gimp directory was not created at install time, it created after first execution of program. :)
[06:07] <JZApples> ActionParsnip, I was still pretty green around the horns when I installed Ubuntu 11.04 a couple weeks ago.  I have since learned much.  I'm pretty sure my fstab config isn't setup properly.  Would you be willing to walk me through setting this up or would that take up too much of your time?  I can paste the info currently in fstab and give you a rundown of my hardware setup if you want.
[06:08] <shotgun_> JZApples: what is in /etc/mtab?
[06:08] <korst3n> ActionParsnip, thank you that's just what i needed
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> korst3n: android app soon too :)
[06:08] <luckysmack> ok i have an external ntfs HDD. when i plug it in i can read/write but i cannot execute. permissions for all files are luckysmack:luckysmack and 400
[06:08] <DKSAINI> i have sound problem in ubuntu10.04
[06:08] <shotgun_> JZApples: mtab should inform you of what should be in fstab
[06:08] <JZApples> shotgun_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659071/
[06:09] <luckysmack> for an external partition i often move computer to computer how can i make sure it always mounts with 777 perms? if it was a permanant HDD id add a line to fstab but this wont always be there on boot.
[06:09] <DKSAINI> external sound problem
[06:09] <JZApples> shotgun_, i'm also in the process of setting up a software RAID 10 array with 4 disks, but I think the instructions I found online include the fstab setup.
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> DKSAINI: instead of repeating the same thing, if you explain your issue on one line we may be able to help. How can we assist with absolutely zerodetails..
[06:13] <shotgun_> JZApples: sorry I've gotta getup for work in a few hours, hope you get the help you need.
[06:14] <JZApples> shotgun_, thanks.  If not there's always tomorrow.
[06:14] <DKSAINI> hello
[06:14] <resc_user_2169> Newbie to linux, installed after windows xp crash, grub errors ALL over the place. have used boot repair and rescatux with nothing solved. need help badly
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> Hi DKSAINI
[06:15] <chenshaoju> lol
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> resc_user_2169: so you get no boot?
[06:15] <poseidon> I put rxvt-unicode-256color in my ~/.terminfo/r/ however, when I run screen I get $TERM too long - sorry.
[06:16] <resc_user_2169> i can boot into ubuntu but only through live cd. when i install and reboot, i have  agrub error: no disk found
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> poseidon: what is the output of: echo $TERM
[06:17] <luckysmack> i have an external ntfs HDD that i move from computer to computer. when i plug it in how can I make sure it always has 775 permissions with me as the owner? i dont always have the drive on boot so i dont want to put an entry into fstab.
[06:17] <chenshaoju> what is hard disk mode? IDE or SATA or RAID?
[06:17] <poseidon> ActionParsnip: rxvt-unicode-256color
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> luckysmack: the boot should simply just fail if the device isn't present. Should be ok
[06:19] <resc_user_2169> not sure to be honest if youre speaking to me. 9 hours with this has gotten me lost
[06:19] <varun> can anyone help me uninstalling my previous version of ubuntu
[06:19] <poseidon> varun: uninstalling?
[06:19] <varun> yes
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> resc_user_2169: you can boot liveCd and make grub2 reinstate itself
[06:20] <poseidon> varun: maybe it would be better if you would tell us where you are at now and where you would like to be.  Then we can decide what you are trying to do
[06:20] <varun> ok
[06:20] <resc_user_2169> ive used rescatux to reinstall grub but every time it ends up not completing
[06:20] <luckysmack> ActionParsnip, ive had issues before on bood stating that the drive wasnt present so i had to go to recovery mode to remove the entries. but i also think that my have been in mtab. so if i put the normal entry in fstab with the desired settings it will just ignore it if its not there?
[06:21] <bullgard4_> What filename extension do compiled drivers have in Ubuntu?
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> luckysmack: to my knowledge, yes
[06:21] <varun> i have installed the latest version 11 using wubi and also have ubuntu 9 on my system..i want to remove the earlier version
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: .so
[06:22] <glebihan> varun: clear the partition on which it was installed
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> varun: how was 9 installed?
[06:23] <resc_user_2169> action, any idea on what to do next after rescatux has failed
[06:23] <luckysmack> ActionParsnip, cool. but if i already have say /media/mypartition set, when i plug in that drive wouldnt it just mount as /media/mypartition_ (since the label would be 'mypartition' and that dir is already taken
[06:23] <varun> usin usb stick
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> resc_user_2169: is the drive an ssd?
[06:23] <csdserver> any way to apply a default skin to the classic ubuntu gnome bland grey top and bottom bars?
[06:23] <resc_user_2169> no its 2 250gb hdd
[06:23] <resc_user_2169> maxtor
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> luckysmack: if its in fstab it will use what you define
[06:24] <varun> i dont remember which partition i used
[06:24] <bullgard4_> ActionParsnip:  Wikipedia writes: "[GNU/Linux and other System V Release 4 derivatives, and BSD variants:] libfoo.a and libfoo.so files are placed in directories like /lib, /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. The filenames always start with lib, and end with .a (archive, static library) or .so (a shared object, dynamically linked library) with an optional interface number." <-- This is no contradiction to
[06:24] <bullgard4_>  what you said?
[06:24] <luckysmack> ActionParsnip, cool thanks for the help. trying now
[06:24] <csdserver> nevermind, i'm an idiot... simple as a right click
[06:25] <resc_user_2169> i didnt think it was possible for a system to fail this deep
[06:25] <glebihan> bullgard4, no no contradiction, compiled drivers are in .so format as are other shared libraries
[06:25] <resc_user_2169> it seems like everything i have tried has failed miserably
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4_: if its a hardware driver it will be .so  Not seen .a  but i've never delved to deep in that direction
[06:26] <csdserver> resc - what is failing?
[06:26] <bullgard4_> ActionParsnip: Thank you very much for your help.
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> resc_user_2169: are the partitions healthy and have you tested you RAM
[06:27] <resc_user_2169> not sure if you saw previous chat but my grub has been impossible to restore
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4_: always a pleasure :-)
[06:27] <resc_user_2169> i first got a grub error and attempted bootrepair and rescatux to restore but nothing worked
[06:28] <csdserver> resc_user_2169,  what happens when you expect the grub screen?
[06:28] <corinth> Does anyone have Spotify running under Ubuntu/wine?
[06:28] <resc_user_2169> not the grub screen but when i boot from hdd after install i have a grub error
[06:29] <resc_user_2169> and no restoration has worked
[06:29] <semi-afk> `
[06:31] <preecher> running ubuntu 11.04- when i install another distro on a empty partition & reboot i dont see ubuntu or even have the option of dual booting, is the because one is grub2 & the other is old grub(legacy grub)
[06:31] <vaev> corinth: yes it's possible but there is also a native linux client for spotify
[06:31] <corinth> vaev, Yeah, but sadly it's only for "Premium" subscribers
[06:31] <jussi> corinth: I do. vaev: the native client is only for premium users
[06:31] <corinth> Mind if I open up a chat with you, jussi?
[06:32] <jussi> corinth: please ask here
[06:32] <semi-afk> !pm
[06:32] <corinth> Sure. I installed Spotify through Wine, but it crashes every time after login.
[06:32] <resc_user_2169> @csdserver  any ideas at all?
[06:32] <lucky711x> when booting ubuntu 11.04 install cd i can get passed the icons of what looks like is a "card of ram equals a person with a circle around it"? what is this and what does it mean?
[06:32] <lucky711x> cant*
[06:33] <jussi> corinth: does it give an error? does wine crash or spotify crash?
[06:33] <jussi> corinth: and is it a new install of wine?  have you run winecfg yet?
[06:33] <corinth> jussi, I think it's Spotify. Spotify asks me to send a crash report afterward. Yes, and yes I did. This is a fresh install of Ubuntu.
[06:34] <corinth> To clarify: It asks me to send a crash report, *after* I restart it.
[06:34] <csdserver> what is the error exactly?  does it halt your system and give you any message?
[06:34] <jussi> corinth: hrm, if its spotify crashing there isnt much we can do, I'd send the crash report and see what they say. Also, try running it from the commandline and see if theres anything informative from there
[06:35] <corinth> csdserver, No error given. Spotify starts up, I log in, it looks as though it starts to load a page or something, and BOOM. Crashes.
[06:36] <lucky711x> does anyone know what the "RAM = circle around a person" icon means on boot of an Ubuntu 11.04 desktop i386 install cd?
[06:37] <csdserver> resc_user_2169, you have access to the filesystem with your boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[06:38] <resc_user_2169> it is saying no such file or directory
[06:38] <corinth> jussi, I'll try running it from the command line
[06:40] <corinth> Ok, when it crashes, it gives this error:
[06:40] <csdserver> resc_user_2169,  are you on your grub command line for the non-booting system?
[06:40] <corinth> wine: Call from 0x7b842ce0 to unimplemented function winhttp.dll.WinHttpConnect, aborting
[06:41] <varun> i have formatted the partition on which earlier ubuntu was installed but it is still showing the options when i boot my sustem
[06:41] <resc_user_2169> yes but right now i am booted off of the  rescatux live cd
[06:42] <resc_user_2169> like i said, im new to this so it would make sense to live cd ubuntu as we speak?
[06:42] <TheCyberShocker> Hello can someone help me please, i have a wubi error when launching, saying about "Fail to run pylauncher" how do i fix this?
[06:42] <Name141> Would there be any issues when using a KVM switch with a Windows machine on the other end of the switch ?
[06:42] <Name141> (Another words, the other computer being windows)
[06:43] <corinth> TheCyberShocker, You should be able to get rid of that by keeping clicking Continue
[06:43] <Name141> Or using the switch at all.
[06:43] <TheCyberShocker> corinth: i only see ok and once pushed it never comes back untill i double click again
[06:44] <dr_willis> luckman212,  that man in a circle is a hint that you hit the space key, to get to extra optops.. I thouight it was a keybord down there also..
[06:44] <varun> hello people i want to remove earlier version of ubuntu can someone help..
[06:44] <TheCyberShocker> The title says "internal error"
[06:44] <dr_willis> extra options.
[06:44] <lucky711x> TheCyberShocker, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Fail+to+run+pylauncher&l=1
[06:45] <dr_willis> varun,  how did you install it? wubi? or a normal install.. what are you replaceing it with?
[06:45] <bazhang> lucky711x, dont do that here
[06:45] <TheCyberShocker> I've looked at these, and none of them make sense to me
[06:45] <lucky711x> bazhang, just an easy fix he needs to research before asking broad general questions
[06:45] <csdserver> resc_user_2169, i'm looking at what rescatux can do.  I've never used it before.  If you use a command line 'df -h' command, what is the output?
[06:46] <glebihan> varun, you have to run update-grub in order for the boot menu to be updated
[06:46] <bazhang> lucky711x, users know about google, and that site is insulting. just say nothing if you dont know

[06:47] <Lasers> lucky711x: No question is too obvious here. :)
[06:48] <lucky711x> Lasers, apparently you didnt check out the link you provided and it goes nowhere
[06:48] <IdleOne> We don't use lmgtfy in this channel it is insulting and rude. Please don't do it again.
[06:48] <varun> dr_willis, i think i installed ubuntu 9 with wubi but i dont exactly remember..i am not replacing it, i want to remove it..i just installed ubuntu 11 uxing wubi
[06:48] <Lasers> lucky711x: You have a keen eye.
[06:48] <dr_willis> varun,  if you used wubi. you remove  the install same as you would remove any other application in wndows. via the windows add/remove programs tool in the control panel area.
[06:49] <lucky711x> IdleOne, fine i wont to it again, I had no intentions of hurt people's feelings, I didn't realize people were so sensitive in here
[06:49] <dr_willis> varun,  so you have 2 wubi installs on a single machine?
[06:49] <varun> ok then it wasnt wubi
[06:49] <dr_willis> I wouldent do wubi at all.. If you did a normal install. then you just delete the partitions. or tell the installer to install over them.
[06:51] <glebihan> dr_willis, he already deleted the partition
[06:52] <sally_> hello all!
[06:52] <glebihan> varun, run "sudo update-grub"
[06:52] <lucky711x> dr_willis, about you response earlier, no keys were pressed during boot, it is an i386 cd booting on an amd64 processor, but i thought this is fine as long as I dont want a 64 bit OS
[06:52] <sally_> does anyone know how to enable wifi in ubuntu netbook?
[06:52] <varun> dr_willis, i deleted the partition but it is still showing ubuntu 9 as an option when i reboot, though it gives an error on selecting the option
[06:52] <sally_> I'm using an aspire one netbook and I'm switching the switch in the front, but no go
[06:52] <lucky711x> sally_, what kind of netbook?
[06:52] <dr_willis> varun,  this is the GRUB menu you are seeing? or the windows bootloader menu?
[06:53] <lucky711x> sally_, what does it say when you click the two computers in the top right corner? do you see networks or your wifi card at least?
[06:53] <sally_> lucky711x: an acer aspire one
[06:53] <varun> dr_willis, grub menu
[06:53] <dr_willis> sally_,  on some of theose netbooks. the front switch dosent work. Or dosent work right. It may need some tweaks to get it going. Ivehad to boot to windows, turn on wireless. then leave it on.. and never touch the switch while in linux
[06:54] <dr_willis> varun,  so you still have a Linux install on it then? and its showing  Ubuntu 9, and 10 and windows?
[06:54] <sally_> dr_willis: unfortunately, I don't have dual boot on this computer
[06:54] <lucky711x> sally_, you may have issues with hibernating or going to sleep with WIFI on and coming back and not able to enable it
[06:55] <sally_> lucky711x:  in the top right corner it has enable networking checked but I can't highly enable wireless to get it going
[06:55] <varun> dr_willis, yes yes
[06:55] <dr_willis> varun,  double check the partitions, nbe sure you deleted the ones fro the other linux install,. and rerun update-grub - it should auto remove any invalid entries.
[06:56] <varun> k i'll try
[06:56] <lucky711x> sally_, private message me
[06:56] <sally_> i think dr_willis is right.  The card might not be coming on at the switch.  that's a bummer.

[07:05] <ttisnaked> Google Earth can't contact the imagery server to download new images
[07:05] <varun> but why does it show recovery mode option along along with ubuntu 11 in the grub menu
[07:05] <ttisnaked> anyone helps me?
[07:05] <dr_willis> Avinash_Sonawane,  ive seen guides that show you how. but it may be bigger then a cd.. often it can be bigger then a nomral DVD.
[07:05] <dr_willis> Avinash_Sonawane,  the askubuntu.com site had a thread or 2 on that topic the other day
[07:05] <maahes> anyone know a program for interactively creating a new keyboard profile?
[07:06] <dr_willis> varun,  if you dont want to see a 'recovery' item. you can disable that in /etc/default/grub
[07:06] <ttisnaked> Google Earth can't contact the imagery server to download new images
[07:06] <bazhang> ttisnaked, dont repeat so quickly

[07:18] <makara> hi. Natty32bit having trouble connecting to my mobile provider using a Huawei usb modem.
[07:19] <makara> I see option, I click, it connect, and then 2 seconds later disconnects
[07:20] <makara> happens constantly. it used to work on the same computer in the same place when I had 64bit installed, but I had to revert because of graphics card issues
[07:20] <krzysztof> kryst
[07:20] <makara> anyone listening? the channel looks extremely quiet today
[07:20] <varun> dr_willis, i executed the command in \etc\default\grub in the terminal but it still shows the recovery mode options
[07:25] <Lasers> varun: "sudo update-grub" to incorporate the changes into the GRUB2 menu.
[07:27] <testinger00999> is there anybody out there?
[07:28] <Lasers> testinger00999: Quiet channel -- Some people are reading this very line.
[07:28] <kcm1700> don't have to ask for existence of people at irc channel, i think.
[07:29] <isbric> Hi, is it posible to limit maximum simultaneous connections from one ip with ufw?
[07:32] <vectorry> hi dr_willis, i see your here and on ubuntu@freenode, whats the deal with two channels are they the same?
[07:33] <vectorry> 'here' being irc.ubuntu.com
[07:33] <somsip> vectorry: "here" is irc.freenode.org. Gettit?
[07:33] <vectorry> lol, yes
[07:33] <somsip> vectorry: cool :)
[07:35] <mouse> is nodezero part of ubuntu?
[07:35] <isbric> could anyone help me with ufw settings to do about the same thing as this -> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 20 --connlimit-mask 40 -j DROP
[07:35] <bloopletech> I've just upgraded to natty, removed the fglrx drivers, and tried with both the xorg-edgers ppa and without, and I've got a glx problem. I get this error "(EE) module ABI major version (4) doesn't match the server's version (5)" in my xorg log
[07:36] <isbric> im getting some slowloris usage on my servers so i realy need a working ufw rule for this.

[07:37] <Yossi> i have ubuntu10.10 and my application menu seems to have become empty :(
[07:37] <Yossi> is there a way to repopulate it?
[07:37] <maahes> anyone know of a program to interactive create or edit keyboard profiles?
[07:38] <yagoo> bloopletech, try doing aptitude update, then try installing the video drivers again..
[07:38] <yagoo> bloopletech, your video driver version was compiled for an earlier X
[07:38] <bloopletech> yagoo: is there a metapackage for all the video drivers? or do I need to grab a list?
[07:38] <yagoo> or it was compiled for an earlier kernel..
[07:38] <vectory> maahes: like xkbevd?
[07:39] <maahes> vectory~> ...I was hoping some sort of gui-like editor
[07:39] <mouse> ok no one is in #off-topic?
[07:39] <maahes> i.e picture of the key layout, and a text box that shows what happens when you press things
[07:40] <vectory> maahes: searched within synaptic?
[07:40] <somsip> mouse: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:40] <vectory> mouse: i believe its #ubuntu-offtopic you are looking for, or ##offtopic
[07:40] <maahes> vectory yes....not much luck, and least nothing that gives me a good description in apt-cache search
[07:40] <mouse> thx somsip

[07:59] <hellyeah> how can i change the directory of web server from /var/www to /home/hellyeah/anyfolder
[07:59] <ojii> how can I get sqlite support in libreoffice base to work on natty? what additional packages do I need?
[07:59] <flametai1> Ah, Alrighty.  Did any of them pop up more often do you know rww?
[08:00] <theadmin> ojii: I think you need just sqlite3
[08:00] <rww> flametai1: no idea
[08:00] <theadmin> ojii: And of course JRE -- Most LibreOffice functions won't work w/o java
[08:00] <ojii> theadmin, I have that but the dropdown for DB type does not contain sqlite
[08:00] <ojii> theadmin, jRE is installed of course (would be hard to start libreoffice otherwise)
[08:01] <theadmin> ojii: Um, sec, let me search a little
[08:01] <ojii> thanks theadmin
[08:03] <ojii> theadmin, the dropdown I get: http://ubuntuone.com/p/18Uz/

[08:05] <ElTimo> I have a problem with opengl compositing. Whenever I try to use unity or even plain compiz, the screen freezes up and I have to drop to tty to restart the display manager. I have a Latitude D820 with a Core 2 Duo and a Quadro 110m
[08:05] <Avinash_Sonawane> thnx dr_willis
[08:06] <Ycarene> Using the proprietary nvidia drivers?
[08:07] <Ycarene> ElTimo?
[08:07] <ElTimo> Ycarene: That's me
[08:08] <Ycarene> Eltimo - are you using the proprietary nvidia drivers?
[08:08] <maahes> where are keyboard profile files kept?
[08:08] <theadmin> kyle_: I think... "//192.168.0.1/share /mnt cifs defaults"
[08:08] <ElTimo> Ycarene: yes I am.
[08:09] <theadmin> kyle_: I *think*, can not be sure
[08:09] <Ycarene> ...strange
[08:09] <ElTimo> Ycarene: I'm using nvidia-current, to be specific.
[08:09] <nmvictor> How do I run a java class with root, i tried `sudo java javax_usb.FindUsbDevice` which faild with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/usb/UsbDevice
[08:09] <yagoo> maahes, it's a topic related to "locales" -- anything related to $LANG, and character encodings->"input" and "output display"
[08:09] <ElTimo> Ycarene: Everything works fine with compositing disabled, and compiz actually worked great on Lucid.
[08:09] <yagoo> !locales
[08:09] <Johnny_mobme> HiI like to merge many csv file data according to thier headers. Any bash script that i can use
[08:09] <hellyeah> hey
[08:10] <hellyeah> i want to change apache folder from /var/www to any folder like /home/blah/blah how can i do that
[08:10] <yagoo> hellyeah, check the apache conf..
[08:10] <yagoo> hellyeah, /var/www is defined in there somewhere..
[08:11] <Ycarene> ElTimo - unless your X server has compositing turned off for some strange reason.
[08:11] <maahes> yagoo~> thanks, but that's not useful information for me. I'm looking for the physical location of one of the default installed keyboard profile xkb files (or how they're ordered) specifically I'm looking for the german layout Neo2
[08:12] <ionutP> hi all
[08:12] <yagoo> maahes, according to that site "The easiest way to switch to a new layout in your Desktop Environment is to click Computer/Desktop Preferences/Keyboard Preferences. "
[08:12] <ionutP> anyone using blueman?
[08:12] <maahes> yagoo~> and that's not what I'm interested in. I'm interested in *editing that file*
[08:12] <hellyeah> ./var/www not found in apache2.conf
[08:12] <maahes> specifically using it as a template to create my own custom keyboard profile
[08:12] <ionutP> how can i enable A2DP source service in blueman?
[08:13] <ElTimo> Ycarene: Xrender compositing works just dandily, but it's slow as molasses.
[08:13] <theadmin> hellyeah: You should not search with a .
[08:13] <Ycarene> eltimo - could be doing it in software
[08:13] <theadmin> hellyeah: grep -r '/var/www' /etc/apache2/
[08:13] <yagoo> maahes, did u try looking with aptitude or synaptic ? (xkb keyword?)
[08:14] <maahes> yagoo~> its already installed. Synaptic wouldn't tell me anything useful about a particular file which is not a program package in itself
[08:14] <ElTimo> Ycarene: I thought xrender was entirely software?
[08:14] <yagoo> maahes, what is installed?
[08:14] <maahes> found it, nevermind
[08:14] <hellyeah> http://dpaste.com/586911/
[08:14] <yagoo> maa_pan, dpkg -L <packagename>|grep bin
[08:15] <maahes> yagoo~> It's a keyboard profile. they're files installed under /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ not a program, not something I wanted to change, just a file I wanted to edit.
[08:15] <syntaxx>  hi i am on quad display and i ran seperate X on each display due to bad performance on xinerama. But i am wondering if its possible to ran a same entity on each seperate X session rather than ran that application on where it ran the first session?
[08:15] <yagoo> maahes, there's probably tools so that you can have it in ~
[08:16] <yagoo> maahes, i believe theres'an xkb command or something for X resources
[08:16] <Viking667> hm. Something's weird.
[08:16] <maahes> yagoo~> there's several, they do not do what you think they do.
[08:16] <Viking667> Sorry folks, my irssi's not behaving sanely
[08:17] <yagoo> maahes, ckbcomp doesn't do ?
[08:18] <yagoo> (there's also manpage loadkeys)
[08:18] <yagoo> maahes, you should avoid to editing system wide files.. you should ask #xorg .. things should be easier today :)
[08:19] <maahes> yagoo it wouldn't have told me what I wanted to know because I was looking for a file called "neo2" neo2 evidently is a sub-portion of the de layout
[08:19] <maahes> yagoo~> I'm copying it, editing it locally and then plugging it back in as my own custom mapping.
[08:19] <yagoo> maahes, i'm guessing you can copy everything for that keymap, modify the thing or two, and then load it from ~
[08:20] <Viking667> whew. That got it right... I had a typo in the config.
[08:20] <maahes> Oh....I'm modifying a crap load. https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&u=http://neo-layout.org/&usg=ALkJrhil5Iaj7Cfv-sNcgNI9F4ONw_3hXQ
[08:20] <yagoo> hellyeah, i'd simply change where it says /var/www from http://dpaste.com/586911/
[08:21] <maahes> I wish there was just some interactive program for creating these damn files
[08:21] <Ycarene> eltimo - do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[08:23] <yagoo> maahes, you'd need a keyscanner.. i believe by default there's one
[08:23] <yagoo> (run it in xterm though.. not in plain console)
[08:24] <legs> sup all
[08:25] <AdvoWork> is there a way I can check the NS records of a domain from the CLI?
[08:25] <theadmin> AdvoWork: nslookup
[08:26] <legs> sure is quite in here
[08:27] <yagoo> AdvoWork, "dig" command
[08:27] <legs> i guess i will talk to myself
[08:28] <ElTimo> Ycarene: yes I do.
[08:28] <ElTimo> Ycarene: I've always had problems with the reliability of this video card though. I just resurrected it the other day by baking the motherboard in the oven.
[08:29] <nmvictor> I want to be able to add devmode=0664 to my /dev/bus/usb/, so that i can have non-root access usb ports and devices. Any chance I'm gonna achieve this?
[08:29] <jcreek> Hello legs
[08:29] <ElTimo> Ycarene: It could just be that I need to bake it again.
[08:29] <Ycarene> Well, maybe it's just toast, heh.
[08:30] <Ycarene> But if it works at all, could be a config issue, What's it say for "configuration" under "x server display configuration" in nvidia-settings.
[08:30] <hellyeah> http://dpaste.com/586921/ can someone say to me how czn i fix thsat
[08:30] <ElTimo> Ycarene: I'll tell you in a second. I'm installing the latest driver from nvidia's website.
[08:31] <legs> hi all
[08:32] <krazykrivda> i have a somewhat involved question that involves bash and simple command structure, is there anyone willing to try and help me? please PM
[08:33] <chenthu> does any one know why the "install" button on the gnome-art app dissabled?
[08:33] <makara> if i download the natty cd from the web today will it include all critical updates?
[08:33] <yagoo> maahes, any luck?
[08:33] <yagoo> makara, ?
[08:33] <yagoo> !updates
[08:33] <yagoo> makaka, cd's are not nightly builds..
[08:34] <chenthu> makara: no
[08:34] <legs> u guys read me alright
[08:34] <ElTimo> Ycarene: I fixed it. I disabled OpenGL 2.0 shaders. The card is too old to support them.
[08:34] <maahes> yagoo~> only thing I can think of his editing this file by hand and manually hand dealing with issues. the guys who made neo said their xkb file was made by hand =(
[08:34] <oCean> hi legs, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[08:34] <legs> nope
[08:34] <Ycarene> Oh, heh, well that works.
[08:34] <jcreek> legs: sure do.
[08:34] <yagoo> maahes, there are tutorials on this.. (dpkg -L x11-xkb-utils)
[08:34] <oCean> legs: this is a support channel. Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:34] <legs> thnx guys

[08:37] <chenthu> makara: mobile*
[08:38] <chenthu> makara: hmmm... no idea abt that... whts the mobile operating system?
[08:38] <makara> chenthu: i can't do firmware update either
[08:38] <makara> mobile as in modem. mobile broadband. its not a phone
[08:38] <chenthu> makara: mobile firmware update not supported here
[08:39] <chenthu> makara: oh ok
[08:39] <makara> yes i know. the installer only for windows
[08:39] <unop> krazykrivda, why do that?  are you copying the three files to the same target directory?
[08:39] <chenthu> makara sry i have no idea...can't understand what you are saying....
[08:39] <tonvin> why show  "ERROR 1018 (HY000): Can't read dir of '.' (errno: 13)"  when i execute 'show databases;'
[08:39] <krazykrivda> unop: trying to exploit a script that I cannot edit to achieve rooting a device
[08:40] <krazykrivda> unop: however I do have control over this 1 single variable, and nothing more
[08:40] <bahamas> anyone know if it's possible to find out from ubuntu how many RAM slots a notebook has?
[08:40] <bahamas> i've installed hwinfo, but i can't see any useful information
[08:40] <tonvin> anyone knows why?
[08:40] <XamDM> how can i start a program minimzed in gnome and ore unity ???
[08:41] <makara> chenthu: i have a modem, a huawei e180. when I plug it into a new installation of either natty 32 or 64 it won't connect to the Internet. it keeps dropping the connection. It can't be the modem as I'm using it right here in the same room with a laptop. Its not my PC hardware because it did work before.
[08:41] <bahamas> it tells me only memory range and size
[08:41] <mustafa> hi
[08:42] <tonvin> is there  a mysql expert
[08:42] <makara> chenthu: to get my PC to connect I had to copy update debians from apt-cache from my work computer which was uptodate
[08:42] <oCean> tonvin: try #mysql
[08:42] <lotuspsychje> bahamas: sudo lshw
[08:42] <chenthu> makara: u say plugging in then why do u say mobile modem.... how do u use it to connect to ur desktop.....usb? wifi? or etherent?
[08:43] <mustafa> is here a python expert
[08:43] <makara> its a usb modem
[08:43] <somsip> mustafa: sshhshssshsss
[08:43] <IdleOne> mustafa: try #python
[08:43] <Skjoedt> bahamas: try lshw command
[08:43] <krazykrivda> unop: does my question make sense to you?
[08:45] <bloopletech> On natty, how do I auto hide the top menubar? I tried the same way I used to before unity, but it doesn't seem to wokr (unless I have to restart gnome for it to take effect)
[08:45] <unop> krazykrivda, yea, i think so.  I'm just wondering if $xxx is the argument to the script and whether the script goes to the lengths of quoting the variable - in which case this might be tricky.
[08:46] <krazykrivda> unop: may i PM?
[08:46] <tonvin> why i can't sent msg on #mysql channel
[08:47] <makara> chenthu: something like this - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/764576
[08:47] <oCean> !register | tonvin you have to register first
[08:47] <unop> krazykrivda, ok
[08:48] <makara> tonvin: read the blurb when you open the channel. you need to register your nick
[08:48] <chenthu> makara: sry i cant help with this i tried....
[08:48] <chenthu> makara:  ont know whats wrong
[08:49] <kyle_> morning, If i use the following terminal line I canaccess my NTFS share. How do i get this into a format my /etc/ftab file will understand ?
[08:49] <kyle_> mount -t cifs //cca2/users/Staff/Kyle.Wadman /media/Profile -o user=kyle.wadman
[08:50] <yagoo> kyle_, did u ask this like 4 times before? (did u check if modprobe cifs is needed?)
[08:51] <yagoo> kyle_, in root do "modprobe cifs"
[08:51] <lotuspsychje> yagoo: i found 'motion' as webcam security package
[08:53] <bahamas> lotuspsychje: there are two banks displayed, so i assume there are only two slots. any way to tell how much memory each supports?
[08:53] <lotuspsychje> Anyone knows solution for gnome-settings-deamon resetting theme to default?
[08:53] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, there was an amazing one like a year ago.. it had many screenshots on the website..
[08:54] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, unfortunately i forget the name..
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> yagoo: was it GUI or cmd?
[08:54] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, there's this -->apt-cache search surveil
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> ok lets c
[08:55] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, it's possible it could of been zoneminder
[08:56] <lotuspsychje> yagoo: installing zoneminder...
[08:56] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, http://www.zoneminder.com/screenshots
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> yagoo: looks nice mate, tnx..professional stuff
[08:58] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, cool..
[08:58] <lotuspsychje> yagoo: Starting ZoneMinder: success
[08:59] <Tetsuo55> Hello, how can i apply a .diff patch to sourcecode from within ubuntu itself?
[08:59] <makara> yagoo. could I download a nightly build cd? is that available, or at least a newer version than the first 11.04 release?
[09:00] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, do you have the source code already, and do you know how to build it?
[09:00] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, there's even a #zoneminder channel on freenode :)
[09:00] <Tetsuo55> ive tried using terminal command "p [mpc-hc/Subtitles/GFN.cpp:65]: (error) Array 'ext[3][0]' index ext[0][0] out of boundsatch"  but i get the error
[09:00] <Tetsuo55> oops
[09:00] <Tetsuo55> ive tried using terminal command "patch" i get the following error 5 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
[09:00] <lotuspsychje> yagoo: cool tnx for hint
[09:00] <yagoo> makara, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JigdoDownloadHowto
[09:00] <Tetsuo55> Araneidae: i have the source and know how to build it (which is not possible on ubuntu)
[09:00] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, well, it's quite possible that the version of the sources you're patching isn't the same version the patch is against
[09:01] <Araneidae> ? not possible on Ubuntu?  How so?
[09:01] <Tetsuo55> right, i think im behind 1 rev
[09:01] <yagoo> !jigdo
[09:01] <beli> Tetsuo55: take care of the -p  switch of patch tool
[09:01] <Tetsuo55> Araneidae: its a windows app that only compiles with msvc
[09:01] <yagoo> makara, the official .iso which are from the main download page is not a nightly build..
[09:01] <Araneidae> Ah.  That's a problem
[09:01] <yagoo> makara, i don't know much about jigdo if its stable/etc..
[09:02] <yagoo> (i always use net updates)
[09:02] <Araneidae> If the patch fails you need to try patching against the right revision
[09:03] <kyle_> yagoo: you there?
[09:04] <yagoo> kyle_, if it doesn't work then see if there's a log entry..
[09:04] <yagoo> kyle_, or try using a verbosity option to see more debugging
[09:04] <kyle_> yagoo: nothing happended. Where is the log? a mount -a does not show any error's
[09:04] <xenland> Whats up chat?
[09:04] <makara> yagoo: thanks. this looks promising
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> xenland: support :)
[09:05] <xenland> :)
[09:05] <Tetsuo55> Araneidae: ok i have modified the patch so it matches the revision im using, but it still gives me the same error, activiting -p doesnt fix it
[09:05] <yagoo> makara, you trying to setup a closed lan?
[09:05] <lotuspsychje> bahamas: sudo lshw -C memory
[09:05] <makara> yagoo: just trying to get my pc to work
[09:05] <Tetsuo55> ActionParsnip: could it be caused by the fact that i got the source from zip file and not from a checkout?
[09:05] <kyle_> yagoo: how do i use verbosity, noob here...
[09:05] <yagoo> makak, how old is your pc?
[09:06] <yagoo> kyle_, look for any verbosity options with the mount command..
[09:06] <yagoo> (-v)
[09:06] <makara> which part? motherboard can't be older than 3 years
[09:06] <xenland> I'm looking for some assistance with installing SSL encryption for Apache2. I've successfully installed a self-signed one and was able to view my site with https:// connection. However, I have a comodo certificate and it seems to fail everytime i attempt to use it
[09:06] <yagoo> makara, is it itanium ?
[09:06] <kyle_> yagoo: I cant mount the folder using mount -t ..... but i want it to mount at boot. So i wanted to put it in the ftab file.
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> Anyone knows solution for gnome-settings-deamon resetting theme to default?
[09:07] <yagoo> makaka, "processor is itanium?"
[09:07] <kyle_> yagoo: I !!!CAN!!!  mount the folder using mount -t ..... but i want it to mount at boot. So i wanted to put it in the ftab file.
[09:07] <makara> yagoo: AMD Athlon 64 x2 42000+
[09:07] <makara> 4200+
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Tetsuo55: could what be?
[09:08] <yagoo> kyle_, should be in a manpage (apropos cifs)
[09:08] <lotuspsychje> kyle_: install pysdm for adding to fstab
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> kyle_: could add mount -t in /etc/rc.local   and it will run just before you log in :)
[09:08] <yagoo> kyle_, thought u were saying it wasnt mounting just before
[09:08] <kyle_> lotuspsychje: can you explain a little
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> makara: nice :)
[09:09] <lotuspsychje> kyle_: pysdm automount ntfs partitions at boot
[09:09] <kyle_> yagoo: No, i can mount using mount i just wanted my string editted for ftab
[09:09] <mgolisch> kyle_: look at the format? its realy not that hard
[09:10] <yagoo> kyle_, so pastebin it.. so people can see what it is (u can replace any password string with somestring)
[09:10] <yagoo> !pastebin
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> kyle_: if you read /etc/mtab   it should give the options and you can rearrange the output and use it in fstab
[09:11] <Tetsuo55> ActionParsnip: im trying to apply a patch but its erroring out with 5 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Subtitles/STS.cpp.rej
[09:12] <yagoo> ActionParsnip?
[09:12] <Tetsuo55> here is the patch im trying to apply https://gist.github.com/a5edb86fa26c14f0b0b4
[09:12] <yagoo> ActionParsnip, mtab only shows what has been mounted..
[09:13] <krazykrivda> I can execute 3 'cp' commands by doing xxx="eval cp ...; cp 2...; cp 3...";$xxx   <-- how can I do the 'cp' command if I have to execute by: cp $xxx    instead
[09:13] <yagoo> ActionParsnip, wouldn't show all the options for a particular fs type
[09:13] <Tetsuo55> and im applying it to a source that i downloaded as a zip file, so i didnt use svn checkout
[09:13] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, that'll be a -p0 patch
[09:13] <kyle_> mount -t cifs //cca2/users/Staff/Kyle.Wadman /media/Profile -o user=kyle.wadman,password=********
[09:13] <mgolisch> man fstab?
[09:14] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55,  can you pastebin the errors?
[09:14] <mgolisch> its realy not that hard dude
[09:14] <kyle_> that works, so how woudl you write that in ftab.
[09:14] <yagoo> kyle_, if mtab does show anything for cifs that can be helpful..
[09:14] <kyle_> ActionParsnip: might just to the /etc/rc/local bit in a min
[09:14] <yagoo> kyle_, what does "cat /etc/mtab" say ?
[09:15] <Tetsuo55> Araneidae: http://pastebin.com/URuCkf2v
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> yagoo: sure but you can get it mounted, then run it
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> kyle_: it /etc/rc.local    my bad
[09:15] <kyle_> //cca2/users/Staff/Kyle.Wadman /media/Profile cifs rw,mand 0 0
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> where can i edit gnome-settings-manager to prevent setting gnome themes to default at boot?
[09:15] <yagoo> add that line to fstab..
[09:16] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, it's definitely not happy ... at all.
[09:16] <Araneidae> Where's the source zip, I'll take a look.
[09:16] <Araneidae> I wonder if it could be as simple as a line endings issue?
[09:16] <kyle_> yagoo: But i need to add username and password
[09:16] <lotuspsychje> gnome-settings-deamon that is
[09:16] <mgolisch> kyle_: do so then
[09:16] <yagoo> kyle_, add the password later.. see if that line works..
[09:17] <Tetsuo55> Araneidae: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/changeset/3580/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip
[09:17] <yagoo> kyle_, oh..
[09:17] <yagoo> lol
[09:17] <kyle_> yagoo: ok, 1 sec
[09:17] <yagoo> kyle_, try password=<> as the option
[09:17] <yagoo> .  //cca2/users/Staff/Kyle.Wadman /media/Profile cifs rw,mand,password=abc 0 0
[09:18] <goddard> any .dll viewers
[09:19] <goddard> ?
[09:19] <egyption> hi
[09:19] <yagoo> (there's also username= option)
[09:19] <xenland> does anybody know how CA certificates work with apache2?
[09:20] <xenland> I keep getting [fail] error when trying start apache2
[09:20] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, I've reproduced your problem, will look deeper now
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> xenland: did you also ask in the apache channel?
[09:20] <yagoo> Kyle__, thing is there's like 5 ways that u can mount smb/cifs..
[09:20] <Tetsuo55> ActionParsnip: cool thanks
[09:20] <lotuspsychje> xenland: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_howto.html
[09:20] <yagoo> Kyle__, apparently u want to have this on boot which shouldn't be a problem..
[09:21] <yagoo> brb
[09:21] <egyption> tyt
[09:21] <xenland> Thanks lotuspsychje, but that is the exact tut i've been following
[09:21] <xenland> actionparsnip: I have not I will try that
[09:21] <lotuspsychje> xenland: any errors on logs, apache not starting?
[09:22] <Jon--> I am trying to bridge my eth0 connection over WLAN (allowing other nearby people to connect to my computer as an AP). Security heavily preferred if possible. I would also require to be able to use my eth0 connection to use the Internet at the same time. Friend and I are basically trying to share a single hotel Ethernet port.
[09:22] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, definitely looks like a line ending issue: your sources are CRLF endings, and the patch file is in Unix format
[09:23] <Tetsuo55> how to fix?
[09:23] <goddard> Jon--: can your wifi act as an ap?
[09:23] <yagoo> apt-cache search dos2unix
[09:23] <yagoo> or u can use one of those crazy sed commands :)
[09:24] <yagoo> there's editors that can handle cr/lf.. dunno which ones though
[09:24] <goddard> Jon--: your wifi card must support master mode
[09:24] <Tetsuo55> ok installing dos2unix
[09:24] <iceroot> yagoo: vim, emacs e.g.
[09:24] <lotuspsychje> xenland: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Apache2_SSL_in_Ubuntu
[09:25] <goddard> Jon--: not many drivers support it what wifi card do you have
[09:25] <Jon--> goddard, hold on
[09:25] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, there might be an option on patch, otherwise you can convert all your sources by running dos2unix on them
[09:25] <yagoo> iceroot, what about on X.. i'm guessing their x counterparts..
[09:25] <goddard> Jon--: or if you have an android phone you could use that
[09:25] <Jon--> goddard, 09:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[09:25] <iceroot> yagoo: emacs is x
[09:26] <iceroot> yagoo: gvim also
[09:26] <goddard> Jon--: what driver?
[09:26] <yagoo> iceroot, would it show the flow of text with %CRLF escapes or do the new line?
[09:26] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, if I run `find -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;` the patch then applies (except for one failed hunk), but that's a bit drastic
[09:26] <goddard> Jon--: type lspci -v and look for your card
[09:26] <iceroot> yagoo: ?
[09:26] <yagoo> Kyle__, ok i looked into this..
[09:27] <yagoo> Kyle__, u still there? I found what ur missing.. ur missing a package
[09:27] <Macer> i keep running into ssl errors in links
[09:27] <Jon--> goddard, http://pastebin.com/wwiEJc19
[09:27] <Macer> verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> xenland: this guy has similar prob with apache2: http://blog.room34.com/archives/4601
[09:27] <goddard> Jon--: jon you should be able to
[09:27] <Macer> am i missing something here?
[09:27] <Tetsuo55> dos2unix failed to stop any error
[09:27] <Macer> can i disable ssl errors in links?
[09:28] <Jon--> goddard, Great. How do I do it then?
[09:28] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, that's the best I can come up with.  Works for me
[09:28] <goddard> Jon--: look into hostapd and dnsmasq
[09:28] <yagoo> Tetsuo55, what file is this? (i believe dos2unix is only for plain text files)
[09:28] <Araneidae> I get one hunk failed in src/filters/PinInfoWnd.cpp, but that's all
[09:28] <makara> yagoo: what must I do next? http://dpaste.com/586983/
[09:28] <carli2> help. i updated my 10.10 yesterday and when i play videos my screen becomes black and i cant restart Xorg. i'm having intel 915
[09:28] <goddard> Jon--: it is some what involved so don't expect to set this up in 5 minutes or anything maybe a hour or so
[09:29] <adreanalink> How can I let my system see packet I installed manually from make?? (Idon't want to install it from Synaptic)
[09:29] <o0o0> carli2: which player do you use?
[09:29] <lotuspsychje> Macer: links text browser?
[09:29] <dfcnvt> Hi, I'm wondering does the permission setting is set up differently if I entered either of these command, EX: "root@local#apt-get upgrade" & "user@local#sudo apt-get upgrade" ???
[09:29] <goddard> Jon--: what kinda computer do you have btw my card is only two versions older then yours and i have a pretty new pc
[09:29] <Nimeis> Hi there. First time here...https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/702451 This is the problem I have. I also think this http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=41232 refers to the same problem. Has anyone faced this issue before? I found out this bug is present also in some other applications, so it is global. Im using 11.04.
[09:29] <carli2> o0o0: mplayer and totem both dont work. i also tried mplayer with -vo sdl
[09:30] <Macer> lotuspsychje: yes
[09:30] <o0o0> oh
[09:30] <lotuspsychje> Macer: i dont think links can handle ssl, but you could try to install Links2
[09:30] <beli> dfcnvt: what do you mean with permission setting?
[09:30] <chenthu> whats the difference between "grub" and "grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc"
[09:30] <Jon--> goddard, This is a loaner laptop because my usual one has a cracked screen. It's some gateway laptop.
[09:31] <yagoo> makara, try seeing why the installer is failing.. have u tried a text-only install or turning off acpi or something?
[09:31] <Macer> lotuspsychje: ah ok
[09:31] <Tetsuo55> i give up then :/
[09:31] <dfcnvt> beli, Is being a root is the same as sudo for user?  ex: -rw-r--r--  <---- permission setting
[09:32] <Tetsuo55> ill patch it on windows and send the patched zip to ubuntu
[09:32] <makara> yagoo: installer? i thought we were creating an uptodate distribution cd. where is the result? jigdo wants to go round in circles
[09:32] <yagoo> makara, u cant fix the installer with jigdo..
[09:32] <yagoo> makara, thought u said u never had an install working..
[09:33] <yagoo> makara, I said since I first told u about jigdo that I never performed jigdo :p
[09:33] <beli> dfcnvt:: if a users is allowed to exec stuff via sudo as the root user, the commands started with sudo are executed as the root user...
[09:34] <Hot2Trot> How can I edit ~/.mplayer/config so that whenever I use mplayer it automatically uses the option -fs?
[09:34] <bullgard4_> glebihan: "[08:25]	<glebihan>	bullgard4, no no contradiction, compiled drivers are in .so format as are other shared libraries" <-- Thank you very much for your help.
[09:34] <Macer> lotuspsychje: no. same problem Verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate
[09:34] <yagoo> makara, i'm not talking about jigdo with u at this moment.. (even though u do use install sources with jigdo operations).. but initially i thought u were trying to use jigdo operations "in order" to have an installable ubuntu cd..
[09:34] <Macer> but lynx seems to work fine
[09:34] <makara> blind leading the blind
[09:35] <Macer> i would rather avoid lynx tho
[09:35] <makara> yagoo: i want an uptodate installation cd for 11.04 32bit
[09:35] <tsimpson> Hot2Trot: add a line with "fs=1"
[09:35] <beli> dfcnvt: for example you could do as a user:   sudo ps -ef  | grep ps     and you will see that ps -ef is executed as the root user, while the grep ps   is executed as your user
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> Macer: Thought so..links2 browser just for simple txt based browsing...not ssl stuff or https
[09:35] <yagoo> makara, yah.. and I said I never use jigdo.. I can't help u on jigdo..
[09:35] <yagoo> from the very beginning i said this..
[09:35] <dfcnvt> beli, hmm okay, perhaps I think I'll learn more if I happen to change the setting for user if used sudo. Can you change the limitation for user directly or sudo program only?
[09:36] <makara> relax
[09:36] <cypha> can someone help me navigate .xresources?
[09:36] <yagoo> makara, then i asked u .. why do u want an updated cd? you told me you're trying to install ubuntu on your hardware..

[09:37] <egyption> ANY ONE HERE HAVE AN EXPERIENCE AT PYTHON?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> egyption: kill the caps please
[09:37] <bazhang> egyption, try ##python and lose the caps
[09:37] <beli> dfcnvt: in linux everything is files....to limit users to access these files...you use the file ownerchip (man chown) and file permissions (man chmod). to organize access for many users...you use groups....you should read about that....its basic linux stuff
[09:37] <bullgard6> [soved] I overlooked "mc".
[09:37] <yagoo> egyption, you going to ask rude you'll have the opposite effect.
[09:37] <cypha> yagoo: i looked it up online as well
[09:38] <cypha> i'm not understanding how to reassign keybindings
[09:38] <lotuspsychje> Macer: not sure if links can handle manually download certs
[09:38] <cypha> such as Alt+1 in xterm
[09:38] <Nimeis> beli: I don't get your idea, I just use chmod, and its sufficient for me. The rest: can anyone answer my previous question?
[09:38] <beli> dfcnvt: you just use sudo if you need to allow users to do special stuff if its not possible to do seperate it  with the permissions
[09:38] <yagoo> cypha, that's probably xkb..
[09:38] <yagoo> cypha, it's not a novice topic..
[09:39] <cypha> yagoo: is there a channel more appropriate?
[09:39] <egyption> YAGOO MY LANGUAGE IS WEAK FORGIVE ME
[09:39] <lotuspsychje> lol
[09:40] <yagoo> egyption, well i know python and can't help you with your language. have a nice day
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> egyption: dude, take your finger off the caps key!!
[09:40] <Araneidae> egyption, use lower case letters, you'll get a more friendly response
[09:40] <yagoo> lotuspsychje, u can laugh with me :)
[09:40] <cypha> yagoo: i simply want to reassign alt+1 in xterm
[09:40] <damno> i need a encoder to rip mves and encode in H.246 from a dvd
[09:40] <cypha> can you tell me how to assign that to a different key?
[09:41] <Morgz> can anyone tell me a cmd line that will copy every file in every subdirectory to current directory..
[09:41] <cypha> i think it switches to the first tab in xterm
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> yagoo : :p
[09:41] <bazhang> damno, ogmrip
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> !dvdrip
[09:41] <csenges> hi, is it possible to configure ubuntu to restore a specific window layout (apps, position, size) on startup? [possibly a gnome question]
[09:41] <Lasers> damno: Handbrake.
[09:41] <Nimeis> omg, is this a begginer chat?
[09:41] <bazhang> Nimeis, all levels, yes
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows where to edit gnome-settings-deamon to prevent resetting gnome theme to default?
[09:41] <damno> let me see guys.. thnx
[09:42] <Araneidae> This is the default Ubuntu channel, so of course it's beginners!
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> damno: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVD%3A%3ARip
[09:42] <beli> Nimeis: we all started someday...so what do you want to say?
[09:42] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, hes gone
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: yeah saw after I pasted :9
[09:42] <Nimeis> I wrote my question earlier...
[09:43] <egyption> IS HERE AN EXPERT ON PYTHON TO HELP ME PLZ?
[09:43] <dfcnvt> beli, I've used chmod before but I never had a chance to really know how to set up the boundary between two user from using the program. I'll learn more when I have a chance. Thanks anyway.
[09:43] <Araneidae> Morgz: `find /target/directory -type f -exec cp {} \;` will do what you asked, but probably isn't what you want
[09:43] <beli> dfcnvt: yw
[09:43] <MrCoffeeTV> Back in a moment, got this terminal in a full window.  Want to resize it.
[09:43] <Araneidae> Oops: find /target/directory -type f -exec cp {}  . \;
[09:44] <yagoo> Araneidae, '{}' will make sure spaces are wrapped :)
[09:44] <bazhang> egyption, /join ##python , stop asking here
[09:44] <Araneidae> yagoo, no, that's not how shell quoting works
[09:45] <egyption> OK BAZHANG
[09:45] <Araneidae> egyption, stop using CAPITALS!
[09:45] <egyption> but why sir?
[09:45] <Araneidae> better
[09:45] <bazhang> egyption, its the python channel
[09:46] <egyption> ubuntu?
[09:46] <bazhang> egyption, thats here. ##python <---- for python
[09:46] <Araneidae> yagoo, in particular, the shell is not used to exec the `cp` command
[09:46] <egyption> ok thank you sir
[09:47] <Araneidae> Actually, #python looks more lively than ##python
[09:47] <yagoo> Morgz, rsync -a /source /target
[09:47] <bazhang> thought it re-directed
[09:47] <yagoo> Morgz, that's the best solution.. apparently somebody gave an improper command..
[09:47] <bullgard6> Natty writes at startup in a virtual console: "[1.581365] mmc0: no vmc regulator found". I suppose that this message originates from the MMC kernel subsystem. Is mmc0 a program, or what is it?
[09:48] <yagoo> Morgz, (permissions/owner will be copied as well)
[09:48] <Araneidae> Sounds more like a device
[09:48] <yagoo> Araneidae, u need '{}' to copy spaced-filenames..
[09:48] <yagoo> lol
[09:48] <yagoo> "  '{}'  "
[09:48] <Araneidae> yagoo, you're not right, and the reason is reasonably subtle.
[09:48] <yagoo> and it's better to use xargs with find..
[09:49] <yagoo> lol
[09:49] <yagoo> ok try it..
[09:49] <Hot2Trot> How can I edit ~/.mplayer/config so that whenever I use mplayer it automatically uses the option -fs?
[09:49] <Araneidae> First of all, the quotes around {} are stripped by the shell before {} is passed as an argument to find
[09:49] <iceroot> bullgard6: mmc0 should be your card-reader
[09:49] <Morgz> Areneidae - couldn't get that command to work "/targetdir\n: No such file of directory"
[09:49] <Araneidae> Secondly, find doesn't use the shell to launch the -exec'ed program
[09:49] <bullgard6> !prefix | Araneidae
[09:49] <iceroot> bullgard6: (m)e(m)ory(c)ard(0)
[09:50] <Morgz> yagoo - will rsync "flatten" the files. Trying to lose the subdirs
[09:50] <yagoo> Araneidae, he'll be overwriting files if filenames are the same in the subdirs as well..
[09:50] <Nimeis> Listen guys, I found a bug that is present in many applications, was discovered long time ago and hasn't been fixed. Im using 11.04.  Should I look for some other chat?
[09:50] <Araneidae> Morgz, I did say it wasn't what he wanted
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: you can use an alias, it will mean mplayer ALWAYS uses the option
[09:50] <yagoo> Morgz, well u'll ^ (lose files if filenames are the same)
[09:50] <Araneidae> Morgz, you're better off with `cp -a`
[09:50] <bullgard6> iceroot: A device designator, or a filename or what?
[09:50] <Tetsuo55> Araneidae: i found the problem, the zip file was using windows line endings, if i do a svn checkout everything should apply correctly
[09:51] <Araneidae> Tetsuo55, that's good, is what I thought
[09:51] <iceroot> bullgard6: everything on linux is a file
[09:51] <iceroot> bullgard6: but yes its a device designator
[09:51] <Araneidae> Thanks for getting back
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: in ~/.bashrc    you can add     alias mplayer='mplayer -fs'
[09:51] <Araneidae> Morgz, didn't realise you did want to flatten the directory
[09:52] <kyle_> ActionParsnip: I tried to add my line to the rc.local file but that didn't work :(
[09:52] <bullgard6> iceroot: How can a device designator write a message on thevirtual console?
[09:52] <Araneidae> Morgz, Then you do want my command, it's just the first part is the source directory
[09:52] <Morgz> Araneidae - sorry terrible at explaining stuff. cp -a or cp -dR didn't do it.
[09:52] <yagoo> Morgz, i believe u can flatten it out with rsync
[09:52] <yagoo> Morgz, rsync is a lazy man's tool imho
[09:52] <iceroot> bullgard6: the kernel is writing that message
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows where to edit gnome-settings-deamon to prevent resetting gnome theme to default?
[09:53] <Araneidae> Morgz, let me be more clear.  Let /source/dir be the name of the directory you want to flatten, /target/dir where you want to put everything.
[09:53] <yagoo> Morgz, if u want to be sure u don't overwrite files.. u can use tee
[09:53] <yagoo> Morgz, like->rsync <properstuff> | tee myoutput.txt
[09:53] <Nimeis> my mistake
[09:53] <Araneidae> Morgz, then `find /target/dir -type f -exec cp {} /target/dir \;` should work (without the ``)
[09:53] <Araneidae> sorru
[09:53] <Araneidae> Morgz, then `find /source/dir -type f -exec cp {} /target/dir \;` should work (without the ``)
[09:54] <bullgard6> iceroot: Yes. Probably in particular the MMC kernel subsystem. But what program or routine of the kernel?
[09:54] <Araneidae> yagoo, if you're using xargs then you *do* need to worry about shell quoting (or use -print0 etc)
[09:54] <iceroot> bullgard6: ##linux
[09:54] <iceroot> bullgard6: guess that is to detailed for #ubuntu
[09:55] <Araneidae> What's the difference between a # and a ## channel?
[09:55] <Morgz> Araneidae - that worked, seems odd to have to specify the same directory twice, but regardless it's working
[09:55] <iceroot> Araneidae: # is the official channel, ## not
[09:56] <MysteriousMan> hi
[09:56] <Araneidae> Morgz, Same directory?  Sorry, did you use my first mistaken command?
[09:56] <Jon--> Attempting ad-hoc WEP network with Ubuntu 11.04 and NetworkManager. I am getting "Connection Established / Disconnected" constantly from my manager. eth0 still fine. Ideas?
[09:56] <Araneidae> iceroot, ta
[09:57] <Araneidae> Funny though, quite a few # channels seem to redirect to ## channels
[09:57] <Morgz> Araneidae - first one didn't work for me, last did. run cmd from source/target dir, defined twice in 2nd cmd but it worked anyways, seems more convoluted than necessary, but thanks nonetheless
[09:57] <bazhang> Araneidae, more a question for #freenode
[09:57] <yagoo> Morgz, find /somplace -type f | wc -l   .. does  line count
[09:57] <MysteriousMan> Question : how to remove folder (in home dir) when uninstall  program using makefile ??
[09:58] <yagoo> Morgz, then do compare this number to ur target dir.. u can be sure if any filenames were overwritten..
[09:58] <Araneidae> Morgz, if your current directory is /target/dir then you can put . instead of /target/dir
[09:58] <Araneidae> yagoo, Morgz wanted to flatten everything, so overwriting will be part of the story
[09:59] <yagoo> I take that as sarcastically.. i'll let that one pass
[09:59] <lotuspsychje> does regular updates fixes bugs too?
[10:00] <yagoo> Morgz, what works for you that's good.. keep things professional and clean..
[10:00] <Araneidae> MysteriousMan, it's not a good idea for makefiles to go round touching user directories, so you'll have to remove any user specific files by hand.
[10:00] <kyle_> ActionParsnip: I tried to add my line to the rc.local file but that didn't work :(
[10:01] <yagoo> kyle_, did u get my pm?
[10:01] <yagoo> kyle_, you're missing the cifs-utils package..
[10:01] <yagoo> kyle_, this will allow u to use fstab with cifs
[10:02] <kyle_> yagoo: I see. Can i paste you my line again ad you let me know how too format it for ftab
[10:02] <yagoo> (it also installs the mount.cifs manpage-- man mount.cifs)
 how i will remove folder in every pc by hand that have installed my program :)
[10:02] <kyle_> yagoo: cifs-utils is already the newest version
[10:03] <yagoo> kyle_, http://www.manpagez.com/man/8/mount.cifs/
[10:04] <Araneidae> MysteriousMan, rm -rf /path/to/folder
[10:04] <yagoo> kyle_, by default that package isn't installed..
[10:04] <yagoo> kyle_, so u just installed it..try the /etc/fstab with it..
 do I put in makefile or where??!
[10:05] <meomic> hey, is there any way to make xorg use less memory? it uses about 600~ ram currently... - other way than rebooting pc, metacity was using 200 - but i reloaded window decorator and its normal again - my os is ubuntu 11.04 x86-64bit
[10:05] <chenthu> is there any possiblity for me to install gnome 3 on ubuntu Natty?
[10:05] <iceroot> chenthu: yes
[10:05] <bazhang> chenthu, not supported. avoid it
[10:05] <iceroot> chenthu: but that will break unity
[10:05] <kyle_> yagoo: OK i have it.  I will try it.
[10:05] <bazhang> !gnome3 | chenthu
[10:06] <iceroot> chenthu: to have a look at gnome3 maybe try the fedora-livecd
[10:06] <bazhang> chenthu, breakage requires a reinstall.
[10:06] <yagoo> kyle_, you've been on this for a while.. so you should deserve to get it working :)
[10:06] <yagoo> lol
[10:06] <boyka> Hallo mensch!
[10:06] <boyka> I am looking for a girl here
[10:06] <chenthu> bazhang: i am already using gnome 2.x.x.x..... and i never used unity
[10:06] <yagoo> gosh
[10:06] <bazhang> boyka, wrong channel
[10:07] <yagoo> !ops boyka
[10:07] <boyka> I think she'll be here somewhere
[10:07] <boyka> no no
[10:07] <bazhang> yagoo, no need
[10:07] <boyka> she's in the chat
[10:07] <MrCoffeeTV> I've tried Gnome 3, it's not bad.  It does require more mouse clicks than the old Gnome, though.
[10:07] <bazhang> boyka, stop NOW
[10:07] <boyka> name is Susan.
[10:07] <iceroot> boyka: wrong channel for that
[10:07] <boyka> anyone know any user by that name
[10:07] <kyle_> yagoo: i don't mind doint it in the etc/rc.local file but i think that runs as local user so mount dosn't work. Can i run as root and add root pasword to the same line?
[10:07] <kora-chan> Hey, I just connected  a external monitor to my vga port (running on intel 3000HD) on my machine (11.04). the problem is that i can only switch the resolution as high as 1024x768 but the monitor can 1280x1024, any idea?
[10:07] <chenthu> iceroot: i am not going to fedora.....hmmm may be i will check it out ... :-P
[10:07] <isildur2> helo
[10:07] <iceroot> chenthu: there is no other stable live-system atm with gnome3
[10:08]  * yagoo has only called on ops to call out on boyka. I know when i see trouble. real trouble.
[10:08] <yagoo> geez relax bazhang on me will ya?
[10:08] <bazhang> yagoo, lets stay on topic
[10:08] <iceroot> chenthu: maybe opensuse also have gnome3 as stable live-cd but not ubuntu and as it seems there wont be gnome3 (the real gnome3) in the future on ubuntu
[10:08] <yagoo> ya.. but it's the first time i called out on this..
[10:08] <yagoo> time to move on..
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> anyone got sugestion to fix this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/713186
[10:10] <MrCoffeeTV> The only way to try Gnome 3 that I know of, is on a live CD.
[10:10] <MrCoffeeTV> Don't know of a way to install it, or which distribution it's available for.
[10:10] <chenthu> iceroot: hmmm.... unity dint wor on mine... so i am using classic ubuntu classic on my system...but that was after disabling nouveau and before instaliong my nvidia driver... ihope it works now
[10:10] <MrCoffeeTV> Unity works fine on my system, chenthu, and this is an older Sempron based machine.
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> MrCoffeeTV: there is an unstable PPA, it's default in Oneiric
[10:11] <MrCoffeeTV> I have an NVidia GT 8400, which Ubuntu has no issues with.
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: Unity needs 3D accelleration to run, or you can install Unity 2D
[10:11] <MrCoffeeTV> I see, ActionParsnip.  Interesting.
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3 | MrCoffeeTV
[10:12] <chenthu> MrCoffeeTV: then i will try it again ...thank you
[10:12] <MrCoffeeTV> Thanks, ubottu
[10:13] <MrCoffeeTV> chenthu: the Gnome 3 live CD doesn't actually install, it just runs on the CD.  So, no harm just trying it.
[10:13] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: 3d acceleration works on my system i think ....... amd turion 64 nvidia geforce go 6150 2.5 gb ram i think it can work thought its a pretty old laptop....let me try
[10:13] <TBotNik> All: How do I clear, extra conflicting "wired" network connections?
[10:13] <chenthu> MrCoffeeTV: so the live cd is bootable like an operating system?
[10:14] <MrCoffeeTV> Yup...
[10:15] <MrCoffeeTV> I would just test firefox with it.  It also has Libra Office and other apps available to try, but I wouldn't use those to edit files.

[10:15] <nixusr> i have been filled with these errors in my log file
[10:15] <chenthu> when i tried doin "sudo apt-get install unity" ... it says already installed... but still gnome2.32.1 is active on my system
[10:15] <bazhang> nixusr, from what
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: I have the same video chip, install nvidia-current and it will run (as long as your monitor correctly reports EDID). If it doesn't give EDID then run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    and reboot
[10:16] <bazhang> chenthu, the package is unity-2d if thats what you want
[10:16] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: i have unity instaled but still gnome is active...what do i have to do
[10:16] <jorge_> asdf
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: you can do anything in the liveOS which you can do in an installed OS except reboot. It just uses a RAM drive for storage
[10:17] <chenthu> bazhang: No i wanna try unity 3d
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: gnome and unity will both run at the same time...
[10:17] <bazhang> chenthu, choose from login window
[10:17] <nixusr> bazhang, sendmail
[10:17] <TBotNik> Repeating: All: How do I clear, extra conflicting "wired" network connections?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: unity is not a replacement for gnome
[10:17] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: how to check if i am running unity
[10:17] <bazhang> TBotNik, from where. details
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: ps -ef | grep -i unity
[10:17] <amt0101> Hello, I am using Gnome...and ubuntu 10.10. My gnome network applet is gone from the bar, how can I bring it back?

[10:19] <bazhang> TBotNik, click edit/remove, delete
[10:19] <TBotNik> bazhang: All the files are clean these 2 extra connect won't let wifi lock in and come up.
[10:19] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: i am getting this after running that command... http://paste.ubuntu.com/659192/
[10:19] <hroi> jGConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server ....   I get this kind of message when starting emacs.
[10:20] <hroi> I have no gnome desktop... just server
[10:20] <TBotNik> bazhang: Either greyed out or when I get them "ungreyed" delete is not an option.
[10:20] <amt0101> ActionParsnip,  How do you bring up the run menue?
[10:20] <amt0101> ActionParsnip,  menu*
[10:20] <vuth> brasero burning program sucks...K3B is way to go
[10:21] <Nobber> Noob question: My audio seems to lack bass (in Natty 11.04) any ideas how to change this?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> amt0101: press ALT+f2
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Nobber: there is a pulse equalizer in a PPA you can tweak it that way
[10:22] <Nonicks> how can I open a program with notepad as a root?
[10:22] <TBotNik> bazhang: So any other great ideas?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Nobber: http://exploreubuntu.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/equalizer-for-pulse-audio/
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Nonicks: gksudo gedit /path/to/file
[10:23] <Nonicks> thanks
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Nonicks: notepad is for windows ;)
[10:24] <Nonicks> -.- it is? I saw it there in .. wait
[10:24] <Nonicks> Oh man -.-
[10:24] <yagoo> kyle_, use pastebin if u want to continue u can here..
[10:24] <Nonicks> Well anyway thanks
[10:24] <ionite> can i upgrade from my netbook remix to either XFCE or KDE?
[10:24] <bazhang> ionite, sure
[10:25] <ionite> bazhang: how do i go about?
[10:25] <bazhang> ionite, what version currently
[10:25] <nqs> hi peeps.  I'm trying to create a 3+1 raid 10 device in ubutu server (inside a VM)  I create the raid device with the installer, but once created I don't see the device.  how can I access it?
[10:25] <ionite> 10.1
[10:25] <bazhang> ionite, 10.10?
[10:26] <TBotNik> bazhang: These have to be held in a file somewhere.  I wish I knew where cus I'd delete them.  Anyone out there have an Ideas of where these get stored?
[10:26] <OmegaForte> nqs, Are you trying to create a HAL layer, or are you making a virtual raid in the vm...
[10:26] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: i just realised my unity is running but i dont have a dock like side bar like shown in the ubunt official video
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> ionite: sure just install the DE you desire
[10:27] <ionite> bazhang: yep
[10:27] <bazhang> ionite, upgrade to 11.04, install the xubuntu-desktop / kubuntu-desktop package
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: if you run:  ccsm   (you may need to install compizconfig-settings-manager)
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: you can enable the unity plugin
[10:27] <bazhang> ionite, then if you wish to remove gnome, use the purekde or purexfce link
[10:27] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: ok
[10:27] <bazhang> !purekde > ionite
[10:28] <bazhang> !purexfce | ionite
[10:28] <makara> yagoo: for the record, jigdo seems to be pretty pointless. it has downloaded over 700mb of updates and its still going so there's really no added efficiency
[10:28] <iRBiNiX> hello. Have anybody mail on .edu???
[10:28] <bazhang> iRBiNiX, how is that on topic for here
[10:28] <OmegaForte> makara, What is your issue?
[10:29] <nqs> OmegaForte: i'm not sure.  trying to learn raid, i heard ubuntu is easier.  so far that is false.   but I have 1 64mb /boot device and 4 756mb sas raid devices.  I'd expect to see the raid device so i can create partitions within it, yet I onl[y see the physical devices.  when I try to continue it tells me i don't have a root file system
[10:29] <merf> so what is the topic
[10:29] <ionite> bazhang: ActionParsnip: which is better for my atom 1.6ghz? XFCE or KDE?
[10:30] <bazhang> merf, try /topic
[10:30] <OmegaForte> nqs, Raid requires hardware. If you're making an LVS system, you're gonna have to do it from OUTSIDE of the virtual machine, and it will only be visible in Linux.
[10:30] <bazhang> ionite, your choice try them or check out screenshots, please dont poll here
[10:30] <makara> OmegaForte: i want latest version of natty because the original 11.04 release has a bug that prevents my usb modem from connecting
[10:30] <OmegaForte> makara, You done any research about the modem and current support?
[10:31] <bazhang> ionite, both will work fine with that system.
[10:31] <TBotNik> bazhang: Even have a network restart script but not helping.  Sometimes I get 1/2 way there then it screws me again.  There are 2 extra false connections [ifupdown (eth2) and ifupdown (wlan0)] showing under "wired" connections in Network Manager, but can not delete them. I think there is another place in gnome or gconf that is holding these and that is where the problem is coming from, these conflict with the real eth2 and wlan0 settings.
[10:32] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: it worked thanks... :)
[10:32] <OmegaForte> nqs, and you don't make a raid array inside an operating system. You do it from the raid controller's firmware during boot, or with their specific mananger inside a supported operatic system.
[10:32] <ionite> bazhang: work fine is one matter. optimal performance is another
[10:32] <makara> the modem works fine on an updated 11.04 64bit. i'm using it now to chat through lucid lynx
[10:32] <nqs> OmegaForte: ok, maybe i'm confused.  are you saying that mdadm is dependent on having a hardwore controller?
[10:32] <makara> but when i install fresh, obviously i can't get the updates for 11.04 without a connection
[10:33] <makara> 800mb. is this going to end sometime or should I just give up. mobile broadband is extremely expensive in my country
[10:34] <OmegaForte> nqs, All raid, except LVS is hardware, home skillet. mdadm controls software raid. Something you won't get performance out of. Raid controllers have specific hardware to make them actually do their job. Doing things over software can slow things down far more than you'd expect.
[10:34] <OmegaForte> makara, Find a physical line or some wifi until it's done.
[10:35] <nqs> OmegaForte: i may be assuming that the base system can be isntalled to a mdadm device.  is this incorrect?
[10:35] <makara> yeah. damn what a waste
[10:35] <makara> can you comment on jigdo though?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: np man
[10:36] <OmegaForte> nqs, I wouldn't do it. Software raid doesn't reflect performance, and in some cases, stability. Raid in it's own is to either gain SPEED in the absense of lifetime, or the gain of RELIABILITY in the absense of speed. No point in software raid unless you're just spanning.
[10:36] <OmegaForte> makara, You talking to me? If you are, I don't know what that is.
[10:36] <TBotNik> All: Anyone else have ideas on how I fix my WiFi?
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: whats up with it?
[10:37] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Can't get my WiFi settings to stick tonight.  Box had bad shutdown and now I have crap. Even have a network restart script but not helping.  Sometimes I get 1/2 way there then it screws me again.  There are 2 extra false connections [ifupdown (eth2) and ifupdown (wlan0)] showing under "wired" connections in Network Manager, but can not delete them. I think there is another place in gnome or gconf that is holding these and th
[10:37] <nqs> OmegaForte: i use hardvare raid in my old file server.  i'll agree it's better in most cases, but in my case, the controller is so old if it dies, assuming i could find another (ok, i do have 2 spares...) the softwore to access it is no longer avadiable.   software raid would solve that problem
[10:38] <spexi> Hi! I have Ati Radeon HD3850 with two dvi ports. Other port has Samsung Syncmaster T240 and other port has ViewSonic VG1921wm. Samsung works fine but ViewSonic has a blank screen.
[10:38] <spexi> With having ViewSonic plugged in, Ubuntu 11.04 Live-CD boots over 10 minutes, without the monitor the boot lasts about two minutes or less.
[10:38] <OmegaForte> nqs, with a huge trade-off of the file system not being transplantable, re-scalable or performing within normal disk standards, let alone with a controller.
[10:38] <spexi> All settings with monitors are freezing, for example changing resolution to Samsung monitor and applying it takes 2-3 minutes and mouse is not moving.
[10:38] <yagoo> makara, u can try keeping the update .debs by setting up options in apt.conf-- then copy all those .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives to other machines
[10:38] <bahamas> hi. are there any issues with the 64-bit ubuntu? i don't have any issues with it myself. i'm just asking because i'm thinking of installing it to be able to use more RAM
[10:38] <spexi> Is the problem with ViewSonic and Ubuntu (there's no problems with the monitor when using Windows), or just having dual screen with these monitors or this display adapter is causing problems?
[10:38] <bahamas> also, on the download page the 32 bit version is recommended
[10:39] <MrCoffeeTV> bahamas: I have run the 64 bit version on an AMD Sempron, and no issues.
[10:39] <MrCoffeeTV> A bit slow, though.
[10:39] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: So what do you think?
[10:39] <yagoo> makara, eg: u can use the --download-only option and then backup the .debs from the /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:39] <bahamas> MrCoffeeTV: i have an i5
[10:39] <OmegaForte> spexi, Sounds like you're having a UI related issue. I work best on those. Do you use Unity?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: can you give the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; lsmod       Thanks
[10:39] <MrCoffeeTV> You should be good to go, bahamas
[10:40] <spexi> OmegaForte: Yes, I'm using Unity
[10:40] <MrCoffeeTV> I mean, that i5 should bat KDE 4.7 around like a toy.
[10:40] <spexi> and now with the livecd
[10:40] <nqs> OmegaForte: as an aside, are you familiar at all with raidZ on linux?  i'm trying to emulate a system i'm considering with 2 raid arrays, and for the second i'm trying to decide between raid 5, raid 6 and raid z
[10:40] <spexi> haven't installed yet
[10:40] <spexi> just because if these two monitors won't work..
[10:40] <OmegaForte> spexi, It's not the monitor's fault. It's unity's fault. Unity was designed for a single monitor set up and touch screens.
[10:40] <bahamas> MrCoffeeTV: if i already have the 32-bit one, can i somehow make the switch or do i need to reformat and install?
[10:40] <spexi> ach
[10:40] <OmegaForte> nqs, I just do hardware raid man. I'm not going to risk drives on sofware raid.
[10:41] <nqs> OmegaForte: I should note the OS most likely won't be ubuntu, nor debian based
[10:41] <OmegaForte> nqs, Then you're out of my spectrum in distro's too.
[10:41] <MrCoffeeTV> bahamas: You will most likely have to backup and reformat.
[10:41] <spexi> Could I switch Unity to old menu style?
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> spexi: log in to Ubuntu Classic
[10:41] <bahamas> MrCoffeeTV: i see. thanks for the info
[10:42] <Joe6668> hello
[10:42] <MrCoffeeTV> bahamas: You would need to do a clean install, yes.  You should be able to back up your home directory, then put that on the new 64 bit version.  I know, it's a headache.
[10:42] <OmegaForte> spexi, You sure can! Simple as logging out and looking at the bottom of the x 0 monitor, and selecting "Ubuntu Classic" from the menu that holds Unity
[10:42] <kyle_> yagoo: Thanks for your help. but i just didn't see that i was editing a ftab file instead of FSTAB.  I have now added to correct file and it's working but without write. But i think i'll leave it for now and try myself again. I think if you have to speak to me again your loose all your hair, or you just won't .  Bu thanks anyway...
[10:42] <OmegaForte> kyle_, What are you having issues with?
[10:42] <spexi> OmegaForte: I haven't installed anything yet, just running on livecd. So is there selection with the installation that I can use Ubuntu classic as default
[10:42] <nqs> OmegaForte: like I said, i only tried it because every one said it was fast and easy.   it's taken me about 4x longer to get to this point as it does to do a complete gentoo install
[10:43] <Joe6668> anyone in here knowledaeable in networking ?
[10:43] <bahamas> MrCoffeeTV: fortunately, i don't have much on it because i just installed it. the greater headache is creating a bootable USB and then setting up the wireless. i spent quite some time yesterday making it work
[10:43] <bahamas> i hope that solution is cross-platform, so i can replicate it on the 64-bit version
[10:43] <kyle_> OmegaForte: Got following line in FSTAB file and it works. Just don't have write access to share.
[10:43] <OmegaForte> nqs, That's why hardware exists to do this job. No software is faster.

[10:43] <nbest>  Hello.  A lot of times when I try to copy text from a web page I get a lot of things like "\u2019s" inserted in it.  Can anyone tell me why this is and what I can do about it?
[10:44] <OmegaForte> kyle_, Add rw past the password section.
[10:44] <OmegaForte> spexi, Yeah, you'll just have to do the same thing I told you.
[10:44] <OmegaForte> kyle_, And don't forget your 0 0's.
[10:44] <spexi> okay
[10:44] <bahamas> nbest: are you copying the raw html?
[10:44] <spexi>  thanks :)
[10:44] <kyle_> OmegaForte: so password=***,rw
[10:44] <yagoo> nbest, where's the past egoing?
[10:44] <OmegaForte> kyle_, Should work just fine.
[10:44] <nqs> OmegaForte: well, thanks for the help
[10:44] <bahamas> nbest: that's unicode what you're seeing
[10:44] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: PB at: http://pastebin.com/ZLsDa9MP
[10:44] <nbest>  now copying from the web page that's displayed bahamas
[10:45] <oCean> Joe6668: maybe try ##networking channel
[10:45] <yagoo> nbest, and the target window?
[10:45] <nbest>   yagoo i paste the text into a screen reader
[10:45] <yagoo> nbest, what's the application?
[10:45] <nbest>   readplease
[10:45] <nbest>  i use it on wine
[10:45] <kyle_> OmegaForte: nope, i did try that, but when i right click I don't get create folder etc...
[10:45] <yagoo> nbest, you honest about that?
[10:45] <yagoo> nbest, wine is not supported on any linux channel man..
[10:45] <nbest>   bahamas , so if i changed my web page encoding it mifght fix it?
[10:45] <bahamas> nbest: if you paste it anywhere else, do you still see those characters?
[10:45] <OmegaForte> kyle_, Okay, then it seems like it's a permissions issue. Lemme look up cifs.
[10:46] <nbest>  i will check to see if i see it elsewhere... one sec..
[10:46] <kyle_> OmegaForte: thanks
[10:47] <spexi> How can I list all network computers in command line? I have one Ubuntu machine but it's not shown on the network window, there's only Windows network. I can still connect to that computer with IP address.
[10:47] <OmegaForte> kyle_, Does this apply to you? http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2006-November/001590.html
[10:47] <nbest>  oh, pasting it in gedit i don't get them there
[10:47] <nbest>   so i guess it's a wine issue
[10:47] <yagoo> spexi, smbclient -L <ip>/host
[10:47] <spexi> It would be nice just connect to that computer by name
[10:47] <spexi> ok thanks
[10:48] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Hope you understand that PB is data from current liveCD boot, not from my HDD boot, where the problem is.  Confused don't be, can't get on if wlan0 is down and it auto configs and comes up on liveCD.
[10:48] <Dori922> hey bro's
[10:48] <kyle_> OmegaForte: reading it now
[10:48] <yagoo> spexi, apt-cache search samba (there's smbtree and smbclient)
[10:48] <yagoo> spexi, there's even gui ones ..
[10:48] <nbest>   well thanks anyway yagoo and bahamas
[10:48] <TBotNik> Dori922: Hey back
[10:48] <bahamas> nbest: yw
[10:48] <cypha> how can I run synaptic as root in one line?
[10:49] <spexi> Ok
[10:49] <dr_willis> cypha,  gksudo synaptic
[10:49] <MrCoffeeTV> Well, I'm off to get some rest.
[10:49] <cypha> so I can create a menu entry for it
[10:49] <MrCoffeeTV> Got a good install done tonight, so now have the use of two computers.  Nice.  Take care.
[10:49] <Dori922> i want to set up ubuntu so it automatically enter a cmd line command at each log in, what do i need to do to do this? :) just point me in the right direction
[10:49] <cypha> dr_willis: you are the man
[10:49] <TBotNik> cypha: sure
[10:49] <Dori922> ive no gui btw
[10:49] <dr_willis> cypha,  linux/ubuntu fundamentals.
[10:49] <yagoo> spexi, what do u mean your ubuntu machine not being shown on the network window? (trying to use nmbd ?)
[10:50] <dr_willis> Dori922,  for a user they have their own .bashrc and .profile
[10:50] <kyle_> OmegaForte: my password in ubuntu and windows are the same.  The windows PC is a Windows 2008 R2 Server (Domain)
[10:50] <dr_willis> Dori922,  for sysem wide stuff befor any logins. heres  /etc/rc.local
[10:50] <OmegaForte> kyle_, It's still a cifs share.
[10:50] <spexi> yagoo: When navigating to Places-Network
[10:50] <spexi> that computer is not listed there
[10:50] <Dori922> dr_willis:  i love you |<-----------------------------this-------------------------------->| much :)
[10:51] <cypha> dr_willis: well, how about modifying the libnotify files?
[10:51] <spexi> That computer has this irssi which I'm using right now, so I can connect to that computer with IP, no probs
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: how is the installed OS different?
[10:51] <kyle_> OmegaForte:OK, so what do i need to add, or is it listed on the url?
[10:51] <cypha> where are those found so I can alter things?
[10:51] <TBotNik> Dori922: Write a small script to call "terminal" and go to "System" + "Preferences" + "Startup Applications" and add your script there.
[10:51] <yagoo> spexi, u can use the nmbd daemon (this is part of the samba package)
[10:51] <dr_willis> spexi,  i havce constant issues with shares/machines not gettting seen . windows, linux, and so on. I just basically enter the actual server up/share name and they come right up. then i bookmark them
[10:51] <spexi> just wondering that should it be listed there
[10:51] <yagoo> spexi, use swat.. it's easier to set things up.. (apt-get install swat)
[10:51] <spexi> Okay
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: there is no lshw output there dude
[10:51] <dr_willis> spexi,  so in the file mnager you can enter an address. (hit ctrl-l)  enter.. smb://ip.of.the.server/sharename
[10:51] <dr_willis> same thing can work in windows.
[10:52] <OmegaForte> kyle_, I don't know. I just googled your issue, and came to this. It looks like adding noperm to the args section of the mount would solve your issues...But I don't know.
[10:52] <spexi> yeah
[10:52] <yagoo> spexi, then url:localhost:601 if i'm correct or its another port (u use firefox)
[10:52] <spexi> have to try those things
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: even with the 'smb:' prefix?
[10:52] <OmegaForte> kyle_, All of my samba stuff is RW/usr out of the box.
[10:52] <yagoo> spexi, it's port 901..
[10:52] <dr_willis> theres just somthing very weird going on with share browsing.. seems to get worse with each new release of windows/samba.  My "Boxee' box sees EVERYTHING.. the windows pcs tend to see each other.. got one tha tonly sees itself...
[10:53] <endgamer> Hi folks <waves>
[10:53] <spexi> yagoo, ok thanks
[10:53] <Dori922> thanks TBotNik  :P
[10:53] <dr_willis> for windows you dont use the smb:  you just use their \\ or // thangs
[10:53] <yagoo> spexi, so once swat is started.. u can do http://localhost:901 .. it not then http://127.0.0.1:901
[10:53] <kyle_> OmegaForte: top man. It's done
[10:53] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Exact same os, just different config settings and I re-edit all 5 files and they are all correct.  It is the thing, that I can not find that is holding those 2 extra false "wired" connects that is beating me, I know it.
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: could remove network manager and install wicd
[10:53] <endgamer> I've got an odd issue in Lucid if anyone can help...just installed Fluxbox but when I go to switch sessions I find I have no sessions list at login :) Anything that might cause that to not display?
[10:53] <OmegaForte> kyle_, Did it solve your issue?
[10:54] <kyle_> OmegaForte: If my ubuntu password was not the same as windows, Would it not work or something??  --- Yes it seems to be working fine..
[10:54] <dr_willis> endgamer,  you may need to restrt the gdm service. "sudo service gdm restart"
[10:54] <OmegaForte> kyle_, That's not the issue...The issue would be that the unix/linux permissions are not compatable with NTFS/CIFS permissions.
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> kyle_: run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    set the sambe password and you can authenticate as that user
[10:54] <endgamer> dr_willis, I've actually restarted the whole system and it doesn't appear...
[10:55] <yagoo> lol
[10:55] <yagoo> none of u have experience logging in to a Windows Domain from linux..
[10:55] <yagoo> his machine is a Windows Domain computer he already said so much earlier..
[10:56] <dr_willis> endgamer,  see if theres one in /usr/share/xsessions, you could also try a 'sudo updatedb' 'locate fluxbox.desktop'   Could be the fb packager dident include one.
[10:56] <OmegaForte> So?
[10:56] <endgamer> dr_willis Ah, thankyou...I take it the sessions menu will only appear if there are other options set up then?
[10:57] <dr_willis> endgamer,  yep. gdm looks in that location and perhaps a few others for the sessiopns to show.
[10:57] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis: any idea to colortail -f snort logs instead of syslog1.log?
[10:57] <endgamer> dr_willis,  will check that out, cheers
[10:57] <dr_willis> easy to make your own. I just noticed I got a fluxbox.desktop session here for KDM. even tho i dont have flxbox installed.
[10:58] <dr_willis> endgamer,  here it is.... pastebinit /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/fluxbox.desktop
[10:58] <dr_willis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659207/
[10:58] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Under the liveCD boot there is only the "Auto eth0" under "Wired" and "Wireless" is showing only the current active "Auto <myssid>" profile.  When the machine boots under HDD the wired NIC does not come up as eth0 but as eth2 and sometime the "Auto eth2" shows under the "Wired" tab and sometime it does not, but always the Network Manager panel pop-up shows both Wired and Wireless as "not managed".
[10:59] <endgamer> dr_willis , hmm...seems there's a fluxbox.desktop in xsessions, and a KDE one...
[11:00] <chenthu> has anyone ever successfully customized a login screen? cause i have been try for the past 48 hrs but in vain... :)
[11:00] <dr_willis> chenthu,  you can change the gdm walpaper and font, and a few other slight tweaks.. but thats about it.
[11:00] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: That is why I went to the nm-system-settings.conf file and change the setting to "true".  Wlan0 came up for a while, and when I kept working on it to get it right, it went down and never came back up.  Nothing wrong with the card, service, etc.  Running on that now via liveCD, so all in the settings.
[11:01] <usalabs> hi everyone, seeing that I have an account on the ubuntu forum,but still not being able to post, there,,,, I have a real problem after installing security updates which included, samba and winbind, and now I can't access any work groups on my local network, where as I have always done so before the updates
[11:02] <chenthu> dr_willis:  hmmm....but i heared linux is completely customizable ?...cant customize login screen?
[11:02] <dr_willis> chenthu,  You can customize it by replaceing it.. if you wanted to.. as i just said theres SOME things you can change on it.. but gdm2 is not as themeable as the old gdm.. lookit here....
[11:02] <dr_willis> http://pastebin.com/FNvnX2ip
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: I know how to change the wallpaper and the colour of the login box
[11:02] <dr_willis> tips on tewaking GDM look (above)
[11:03] <endgamer> dr_willis is there somewhere the session might be forced to gdm?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: not sure then. Could read through:  dmesg | tail     to see what's going on
[11:03] <dr_willis> endgamer,  the .dmrc defines what session to use by default.
[11:03] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: thank you
[11:03] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: I sure want a word with the designers of NetworkManager and the whole networking suite.  the "Network Connections" does not have a way to reset, force, whatever on any connection and not being able to delete these 2 false one, is driving me crazy.  Also "Network Tools" is not Network Tools but just Network Monitor and there is no tools to it, just check what your status is.
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[11:03] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Yeah but will have to tail on the syslog from HDD, right?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: could log a bug
[11:04] <chenthu> dr_willis and ActionParsnip : thank you so much .... :)
[11:04] <cypha> how can i start nautilus in the current directory from terminal?
[11:04] <dr_willis> chenthu,  in the next release   gdm is gone anyway. :) LightDM is replaceing it.
[11:04] <usalabs> nautilus does not show any workgroups, where as, before the security updates I was able to access all the shares on my network
[11:04] <jrib> cypha: nautilus .
[11:04] <yagoo> chenthu, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-10223.html
[11:04] <dr_willis> cypha,  type 'nautilus'
[11:04] <yagoo> that's a little old sorry
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: technically, yes. look in /va/log   or boot to the installed OS and run the comamnd I gave
[11:04] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Let check on that BRB
[11:04] <Morgz> cypha - mine has a script from ubuntu tweak that does that
[11:05] <cypha> nautlius . did it
[11:05] <yagoo> chenthu, it's outdated that site.. sorry.. but the greeter is customizable
[11:05] <cypha> thanks jrib
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: using wicd will sidestep network managers stuff as it's a different app
[11:05] <endgamer> dr_willis Looks like I'll have to manually force it...it's an oldish system, fairly heavily hacked about, not surprised if I've knackered that up at some point :) Thanks for your help!
[11:05] <raven> how to remote view an application running opengl rendering?
[11:05] <dr_willis> endgamer,  if theres a custome session item. that reads from the users .xinitrc or .xsession i recall.
[11:06] <Viking667> I'm trying to get the Oracle java plugin to work with Google's Chrome browser, but I'm striking some trouble. What should I actually be doing? Currently Chrome (and any other Mozilla-like browser) are using the OpenJDK IcedTea plugin.
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> raven: ssh -X username@server     openssh-server enables X forwarding by default. Assuming you have an X server on teh client (default in Ubuntu destops) the app will show in the client system if you run any graphical app. Not tried 3D stuff though. Have a try
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: I always use this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[11:07] <chenthu> dr_willis:  so light DM would be customizable?... i hope it would...
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: installs and java just works
[11:07] <endgamer> dr_willis Interesting...switched "default" in the .dmrc to "Fluxbox.desktop" and now I'm getting a session menu :D
[11:08] <Viking667> ooo. I wasn't aware of that repo. Thank you.
[11:08] <chenthu> yagoo: thank you how?.....
[11:08] <raven> ActionParsnip, this command only gives me normal ssh prompt, no graphics
[11:08] <Jurgentje> Hi... I'm having troubles with LPROF (for icc profiles) ... can't find how to load the IT8 target
[11:08] <AegisX> Hi guys. I'm finding my laptop's touchpad is way too sensitive on Ubuntu. It's almost as if the heat from my hands moves the mouse randomly, making it click here and there. Do you know of a way to mitigate this?
[11:08] <usalabs> anyone got any ideas on how I can get nautilus to show the workgroups after the recent security updates of Lucid LTS?
[11:09] <bullgard4_> AegisX: Please describe the heat effect more carefully.
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> raven: yes, run a graphical app
[11:10] <yagoo> chentu, it may be in the menu if not.. try "apropos gdmsetup" or apt-cache search greeter .. install the package and look in menu (i believe it would be in system/administration section)
[11:10] <nbest>  can anyone recommend a good macro program for ubuntu?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> raven: from the terminal
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> nbest: macro in what way?
[11:10] <Viking667> ActionParsnip: ah huh. How does that modify the /etc/alternatives/mozilla-libjava.so plugin?
[11:10] <bullgard4_> usalabs: What workgroups?
[11:10] <yagoo> nbest, for accessibility? /firefox?
[11:10] <AegisX> bullgard4_: So when I type, my palm hovers over the touchpad. I find that as I type, every now and then the mouse will have moved, or clicked somewhere inadvertently (tap to click).
[11:11] <usalabs> bullgard4_ the internal network workgroup
[11:11] <nbest>  i want a script to send the keystrokes "ctrl-c" then switch to another app then paste the text in
[11:11] <nbest>   starting in firefox
[11:11] <AegisX> bullgard4_: However, I'm fairly certain that there is no (or at least, minimal) contact between my palm and touchpad.
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: not sure, let me search
[11:11] <Tias____> Hallo
[11:11] <Tias____> Wie gehts?
[11:12] <AegisX> bullgard4_: I have the "disable touchpad when typing" feature enabled under mouse settings, but it doesn't seem to help too much.
[11:12] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: PB at: http://pastebin.com/80Nxk8T4  Looks like the dhclient for wlan0 is not reading the default SSID profile.  Giving error: Aug  5 03:32:25 tc-server ddclient[1900]: WARNING:  file /etc/ddclient.conf, line 8: Invalid Value for keyword 'login' = ''
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: seems to make /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so
[11:12] <raven> ActionParsnip, ok sry. i am trying to run xbmc on one machine (performance) and need to display that on another (slower) machine. softwarerendering also gives me only a black window via vnc and ssh -X gives me opengl missing error
[11:12] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Looking at that ddclient file now!
[11:12] <Viking667> ... and where does that point to on your system?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: looks like a good place to hunt
[11:13] <Viking667> Because on my system, it still points to the openjdk plugin
[11:13] <nbest>  i was using autohotkey in windows and am looking for something similar on ubuntu.. i've tried a couple that were recommended from a search but non seem to work very well
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: fwiw I don't have that file
[11:13] <mustafa> hi
[11:14] <midnight> /close
[11:14] <midnight> >.>
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: http://paste.ubuntu.com/659219/
[11:14] <usalabs> I click Places -> Network and it shows the folder for 'Windows Network', I've always been able to open that and it shows all the computers on the "home" workgroup, but since the recent security updates, which included, samba and winbind, nautilus doesn't show the "home" workgroup anymore
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> raven: if you want an XBMC remote control, enable the web UI
[11:14] <yagoo> nbest a hot key? depends what u mean a hotkey.. hotkey to what?
[11:15] <raven> ActionParsnip, no remote control
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> raven: if you have an Android phone, there is an app made by team xbmc to control it like a DVD menu controller too :)
[11:15] <nankura> hey guys, is it safe to add yourself the user to every group on the system, i installed the SLiM login manager on xubuntu, and alot of features dont work because you need to be in the usergroup, gdm doesnt need the groups
[11:15] <Viking667> ActionParsnip: thanks.
[11:15] <bullgard4_> AegisX: This is no heat effect but rather a capacitive effect. I think in those moments your touchpad is not switched off. Rather, your touchpad is configured for gestures. You either manage to get switched off your touchpad in those moments, or switch off Touchpad gestures.
[11:15] <raven> ActionParsnip, i need the (graphics-)computing on a machine and displaying on another
[11:15] <dr_willis> nbest,  just saw this at a blog site --->  http://maketecheasier.com/make-autokey-works-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/06/26
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> raven: not sure about that
[11:15] <nbest>   yahoo a hot key that will send a series of keystrokes and/or mouseclicks that I want it to send
[11:15] <nbest> *yagoo
[11:15] <AegisX> bullgard4_: I see... how do I correct this?
[11:16] <yagoo> nbest, i believe there's at least a few that can do that..
[11:16] <nbest>   hmm, that looks interesting dr_willis  i'll check that site
[11:16] <dr_willis> !info autokey
[11:17] <nbest> yahoo well the couple i've tried didn't use hotkeys, but you had to type comands in terminal
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: the java ppa I gave will no doubt be updated more frequently than the official ones too :)
[11:17] <nbest>   that's not convenient at all
[11:17] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: PB of file at: http://pastebin.com/kvUhKePL  I added the '' behind login= as they were missing.  Hope that is all it is.  Course still want like crap to delete those 2 other false connects.
[11:17] <nbest>   yes, i tried autokey but i coudln't get it to work
[11:17] <dr_willis> nbest,  that url mentions its has issues. and gives some fixsa
[11:18] <nbest>  i'm very noobish though on ubuntu, i was hoping there was a simple easy to use one
[11:18] <nbest>  :P
[11:18] <Viking667> ActionParsnip: I still had to manually symlink the plugin into /etc/alternatives
[11:18] <bullgard4_> AegisX: I only have some how-to in German: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/touchpad
[11:18] <Viking667> Isn't there an update-alternatives command that is supposed to handle that?
[11:18] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: You think I'm good now?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> nbest: http://www.rrfx.net/2009/07/autokey-keyboard-macros-for-linux.html  has a GUI it seems, you don't need the ppa
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: try it is all I can advise
[11:19] <bullgard4_> usalabs: Google does not find "internal network workgroup". What do you mean?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: weird, as long as it's working
[11:19] <TBotNik> K
[11:19] <Viking667> ActionParsnip: thanks for that, by the way. I'm outta here a happy boy.
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: :D
[11:19] <TBotNik> BRB reboot underway
[11:19] <AegisX> bullgard4_: Haha, I can't read German, so I'll try a translator. Thanks for the help though, at least I know what to look for.
[11:20] <nbest>   ActionParsnip , yagoo, i guess i'll keep trying with autokey, perhaps i'll be able to figure it out
[11:20] <nbest>   thanks
[11:21] <usalabs> bullgard4_ the internal network is 192.168.0.0/24 all the computer on my network used to be shown in nautilusm but now, after the updates I can't access any of the shared folders on the network
[11:21] <AdvoWork> any idea where ubuntu would keep information(such as A records, for all domains on its server)?
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> nbest: there may be other solutions
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: if you run:  route     it may show them
[11:22] <bullgard4_> usalabs: Did you do file sharing via smb or nfs?
[11:22] <usalabs> smb
[11:23] <bullgard4_> usalabs: I am not up-to-date with present SMB. I cannot help you finding the shared files.
[11:23] <nbest> ActionParsnip,  yea, usually more than one way to do something on a computer, i was really asking if any of you guys had from your own personal experience used something like that and had good results
[11:24] <nbest>  seriously, macros are so darn useful, once you've gotten used to them you'll never want to be without them again
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> nbest: gotcha, not something I do personally. I do some basic scripting in bash to make life easier but as for typing in GUIs with Macros it's not something I do
[11:25] <usalabs> ok, thanks, I think I'll have to reformat the pc, and re-install ubuntu Lucid LTS and NOT do any updates, I'll stick to what someone said "if it works, then leave it alone"
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> usalabs: Lucid is LTS at the same time as Natty on the desktop
[11:26] <bullgard4_> usalabs: My productive system is also using Lucid LTS.
[11:26] <jrib> usalabs: you want to make sure you install security  updates
[11:26] <yagoo> nbest, did u find any with apt-cache searchv?
[11:26] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, would there not be a config file for all domainnames vs their NS/A records etc?
[11:26] <nbest>  ActionParsnip , i gather bash is some kind of programing language, which is fine.. but the good thing about autohotkey.. is it is a system wide macro.. so you dont' have to learn a different language for every different context.. learn it once and you can use it on anything.. but anyway, that's neither here nor there since i'm on ubuntu now hehe
[11:26] <usalabs> I did, and it was theose updates that has stopped my from access all my ahred folders across the network
[11:26] <nbest>   yea, that's where i got autokey from yagoo
[11:26] <usalabs> shared*
[11:26] <nbest>   i dl it but can't seem to figure out how to get it to work
[11:27] <nbest>   probably more my unfamilurarity with ubuntu than the application itself
[11:27] <bullgard4_> !prefix | usalabs
[11:28] <yagoo> nbest, i spotted a few here->xdotool, xmacro, keylauncher -- and this project looks promising https://github.com/polyethene/IronAHK#readme
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: not sure personally
[11:28] <yagoo> nbest, there are more tools but takes more advanced knowledge with things like xbindkeys..
[11:28] <nbest> yagoo, , yea ironahk is the first one i went for, but it's a project that's been dead for years now
[11:29] <nbest>  and i couldnt' get xmacro to work either hehe
[11:29] <yagoo> nbest, the last datestamp is apr 7 2011.. so i'm not sure if its entirely dead..
[11:29] <yagoo> actually june 2011..
[11:29] <usalabs> jrib I did install the most recent security updates, and it's those updates that has stopped me from accessing the shared folders across the network, before I did those updates, I was always able to access the network shared folders
[11:29] <jrib> usalabs: then it's probably worth it to determine the offending package
[11:30] <dr_willis> nbest,  i had to change autokey to use the  'X-record' interface for it t work properly here.
[11:30] <nbest>  yagoo the last datestamp for a forum comment?
[11:30] <usalabs> jrib the updates included samba and winbind
[11:30] <yagoo> the site i gave has file directory..
[11:30] <jrib> usalabs: so if you roll those back does the problem go away...?
[11:30] <nbest>  dr_willis  i'm sure it works.. i was more asking on which macro would be easy to use for ubuntu noob
[11:31] <usalabs> jrib how do I do a forced downgrade?
[11:31] <dr_willis> nbest,  depends on how hes using the macros I guess..
[11:31] <jrib> usalabs: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION
[11:31] <usalabs> jrib how do I know what the previous version was?
[11:31] <jrib> usalabs: apt-cache policy PACKAGE will show you the versions available
[11:32] <dr_willis> usalabs,  you have tried just entering the share server name/path directly in the file manager?
[11:32] <yagoo> nbest, let me know about the other tools xdotool,xmacro,keylauncher..
[11:32] <dr_willis>   smb://server.ip.num.ber/sharename
[11:32] <elacheche_anis> hello everybody :D I have a question :D
[11:32] <yagoo> nbest, problem with linux is that doing this stuff is possible for many years but it's ugly...
[11:33] <elacheche_anis> Why the iso 64b edition called amd64, and can this edition work on an intel cpu(centrino or higher)
[11:33] <usalabs> dr_willis yes, I tried IP address and host name, and the file manager just showed 'couldnot find smb:///hostname' or 'couldnot find smb:///IP'
[11:33] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, you probably don't want to know, but I found them in /var/cache/bind/db.**domainname.***
[11:34] <yagoo> elacheche_anis, amd64 represents 64bit that works on non-itanium intel as well. (reason is because amd was first company to come out with the 64bit)
[11:34] <usalabs> dr_willis but from terminal, using smbclient -L hostname I see a list of shares
[11:35] <elacheche_anis> ok thank you very much yagoo
[11:35] <dr_willis> usalabs,  i think you got to many / in the url --> (edample on m lan) -->  smb://nas/PEGSBOOK/
[11:35] <yagoo> elacheche_anis, np
[11:35] <yagoo> !amd64
[11:35] <yagoo> :)
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: freaky, mental note
[11:35] <dr_willis> usalabs,  browsing is totally broken here.. but i can access them all via directly entering the info.
[11:35] <nbest>  yagoo, i've not tried xdotool, keylauncher.... those 2 yet.. idk, i think i'll try to get some more practice at ubuntu and maybe try xmacro again because it seems to be popular
[11:35] <dr_willis> usalabs,  but my Boxee box, thats running linux, can see them.. :()
[11:35] <shomon> hi, what would you recommend for a ubuntu 10.10 laptop that freezes on the login screen?
[11:36] <dr_willis> shomon,  whats your video chipset?
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> shomon: memory test is a good start
[11:36] <yagoo> shomon, what laptop model is it?
[11:36] <mega1> how do i upgrade unbuntu10.04 to 11 from cd
[11:36] <yagoo> shomon, there's a list of popular supported laptop models on ubuntu
[11:36] <yagoo> !laptop
[11:36] <usalabs> dr_willis in the file manager I press CTRL L to open a location text box and in it I see smb:/// even removing one / I still get that same error
[11:36] <shomon> hardware issue? I can go into the terminals... how do I run a memory test? it's a g62, hp
[11:36] <nbest>   yagoo, thanks again for all your suggestions
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> mega1: you'll need to upgrade to maverick first
[11:36] <yagoo> nbest, np..
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> shomon: hold shift at boot, select the memtest from the menu you see
[11:37] <mega1> how do i do that
[11:37] <yagoo> nbest, i dunno wtf is wrong with developers i bet a lot of people would like this fully implemented and more graphic friendly
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> mega1: use the maverick alternate ISO or CD or use the internet
[11:37] <shomon> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[11:38] <dr_willis> usalabs,  weird.. i enter in nautilus  smb://nas/PEGSBOOK/   and it works. still cant browse to it.
[11:38] <nbest> yagoo,   lol, yea, i was getting pretty frustrated trying to dl all these progs and not being able to get any to work , but you still gotta love ubuntu.. free, and secure , a great philosophy
[11:38] <shomon> dr_willis, actually I had problems first that it wouldn't boot and did the blank screen with pointer freeze, but after going into grub and turning on nomodeset it now boots to frozen login :D
[11:38] <N1Nja> Hello?
[11:38] <shomon> I wonder if all that relates to video chipset...
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> shomon: if you have bad RAM try removing a stcik (after powering OFF) and retesting. This will help diagnose the bad stick
[11:38] <shomon> hi N1Nja
[11:38] <dr_willis> Hmm. Now my Boxee is showing up on the shares listing..  thats new
[11:39] <Logan_> !ask | N1Nja
[11:39] <shomon> ok
[11:39] <usalabs> dr_willis I'll try the previous version of samba and winbind and see what happens
[11:39] <Anne_> good day
[11:39] <N1Nja> I was actually going to aak if I could help out
[11:39] <yagoo> shomon, what does it say in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[11:40] <felco> hello guys
[11:40] <yagoo> shomon, does it say Driver "vesa"?
[11:40] <Anne_> I need some help re setting a proxy under xfce
[11:40] <shomon> yagoo, actually I've just given it to a friend to look at, but I'll check. And would it help to delete xorg.conf?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> hi felco
[11:40] <Anne_> Anyone here who is willing/able to help?
[11:40] <N1Nja> Ok
[11:40] <yagoo> shomon, change the line that says Driver "vesa" to Driver "intel"
[11:40] <felco> I got a 9.04 cd here, for what version I should update until got a stable one?
[11:40] <shomon> okay, will do. and I'll come here again and report on that :)
[11:41] <yagoo> shomon, i read an old post.. seems to be still an issue (this is not ubuntu's fault-- but would occur with any other linux distro as it seems)
[11:41] <N1Nja> Anne_: Whats the problem
[11:41] <eemoraniii_> running ubuntu 10.4.3, want to upgrade to 11.04, created the usb drive installer, starts to install, then nothing happens, help please
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Anne_: in ~/.bashrc     add: export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"
[11:41] <shomon> thanks yagoo, ActionParsnip and dr_willis
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Anne_: also add:    export ftp_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Anne_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575
[11:42] <N1Nja> Holy crap
[11:42] <yagoo> shomon, this is an old post.. but may not be 100%.. i believe if u see "vesa" -- then change that to "intel" then restart X ( http://www.linwik.com/wiki/using+the+intel+arrandale+intel+graphics+media+accelerator+hd+with+ubuntu+9.10 )
[11:42] <Anne_> yes, I did that
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Anne_: you may nee dto set the proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf
[11:42] <Anne_> @ActionParsnip, I did that
[11:42] <Anne_> apt.conf I did not
[11:42] <yagoo> shomon, first.. do u have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that exists?
[11:42] <Anne_> hm, will try
[11:42] <oCean> felco: you have a cd or a current installation of 9.04? Current is 11.04, but 10.04 is LTS release (long term support)
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Anne_: the layout is different for apt.conf
[11:42] <Bernhard> is it possible to make an image from my 74 GB system disk and put in on an 300 GB harddisk so that it can boot from that 300 GB ???
[11:42] <yagoo> shomon, relaying this info to your friend sounds like hard communication ..
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Bernhard: sure, use partimage
[11:43] <Anne_> @ActionParsnip: What kind of difference? What do I have to type in?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Bernhard: you may have to use liveCD and reinstate grub but it should be ok
[11:43] <shomon> yagoo, I'll get it back in a couple of hours :)
[11:44] <mega1> is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware
[11:44] <yagoo> shomon, lol.. (if the file doesn't exist u can make one with X -config)
[11:44] <sacarlson> I can't seem to get ssh to login without a password I tried 3 googles and all fail like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=920678
[11:44] <felco> oCean: I got the cd, and I installed it... it is updating to 9.10 now
[11:44] <Anne_> thanks all, will try
[11:44] <dr_willis> sacarlson,  going from a ubuntu box to a ubuntu-box?
[11:45] <sacarlson> dr_willis: yes ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 11.X
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Anne_: post #5 here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/problems-with-apt-get-synaptic-and-proxy-454026/
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Anne_: instead of asking, try researching a little
[11:45] <felco> kinda stuck with this version, because I dont have a media to burn 10.04 lts haha
[11:45] <oCean> felco: upgrading is one way to go, but since you're install is new, why not download latest 11.04 and install
[11:45] <N1Nja> FUCK UBUNTU IM GETTING A MAC
[11:46] <yagoo> shomon, actually (X -configure)
[11:46] <shomon> excellent, thanks yagoo
[11:46] <oCean> N1Nja: don't use that language here
[11:46] <sacarlson> with my ssh problem I have on the newer side uname -a
[11:46] <sacarlson> Linux sacarlson-30gdisk 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 01:41:57 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:46] <felco> oCean: the upgrade system just got 9.10 dont know why
[11:46] <N1Nja> Well ubuntu stinks now
[11:46] <yagoo> shomon, (/etc/init.d/gdm stop << stops X .. then u can try X -configure to create new config ..) .. good luck..
[11:46] <dr_willis> sacarlson,  i tend to just do a 'ssh-keygen'   then a 'ssh-copy-id remoteboxip'
[11:46] <bazhang> N1Nja, wrong channel for that
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> N1Nja: then change, you don't need to broadcast
[11:47] <sacarlson> dr_willis: that ssh-copy-id seems to have a problem maybe that I don't listen on port 22
[11:47] <dr_willis> sacarlson,  just dont ask me how to setup putty or my android phone to use the same keys. :) still working on that.
[11:47] <heizmann> Hi, everybody. A question concerning to the using of autotools, need some help. Then, I don't understand how include in a tarball packaging a subdir in the $HOME repository, e.g. "/home/$USER/.myprog/myfile.dat" :-/ possible, or not? What's the solution?
[11:47] <dr_willis> sacarlson,  it may need some options i guess
[11:47] <dr_willis> Usage: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
[11:48] <dr_willis> Not sure how to put a port in that...   user@machine:portnumber   perhaps?
[11:48] <sacarlson> dr_willis: I tried the -p3333  -P3333 didn't work
[11:48] <N1Nja> Can people be Banned?
[11:48] <dr_willis> N1Nja,  yes.
[11:48] <bazhang> N1Nja, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat
[11:48] <felco> 9.04 is definitly unsupported, right? I cant even install the irssi on it
[11:48] <dr_willis> !9.04
[11:49] <sacarlson> dr_willis: I made sure the file security is set to 600
[11:49] <felco> damn
[11:49] <felco> thanks bot, love you
[11:49] <Lasers> felco: Do you have USB stick?
[11:49] <dr_willis> felco,  if you enabke the arcive repos for it.. you can still install stuff on it.. but i suggest upgradeing
[11:49] <dr_willis> !eol
[11:49] <felco> i will upgrade it
[11:49] <oCean> felco: upgrading might be troublesome. Since you have a new install, by not just download latest?
[11:50] <heizmann> Nobody for a solution? :)
[11:50] <felco> oCean: because I don't have a media to use for the install :/
[11:50] <Ellipsis753> Hey, not sure if this is the right place, but I just installed this motherboard http://goo.gl/D14Yf and I can't seem to find any driver for it, anyone know where I should ask or where I can get some?
[11:50] <felco> nor a flash drive
[11:50] <bazhang> ##hardware Ellipsis753
[11:50] <jita> i am a python programmer, and i am going to install the fresh copy of lubuntu, should i go with alpha 3 version ?
[11:51] <jita> Should all the libraries of python be ported to linux 3 kernel ?
[11:51] <bazhang> jita, #ubuntu+1 for alpha
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> N1Nja: yes they can be banned
[11:51] <sudokill> Ellipsis753, should work out the box
[11:51] <Lasers> jita: Alpha for productive machine? Good luck.
[11:51] <jita> bazhang: just asking suggesetion he
[11:51] <jita> Lasers: its buggy ?
[11:52] <bazhang> jita, the only one using 3 is in #ubuntu+1 so its best to ask there
[11:52] <wols> jita: python doesn't care at all about linx 30
[11:52] <sacarlson> dr_willis: can you change the address at the end of the line of /home/sacarlson/.ssh/authorized_keys to sacarlson@192.168.2.158  instead of the name they added that I can't resolove?
[11:52] <ionite> how do i remove gmusicbrowser as my default music player at the desktop Sound Preference button?
[11:52] <wols> *linux 3.0
[11:52] <Ellipsis753> sudokill, It does mostly, however the internet port dosn't seem to. If I plug it in ubuntu thinks about it then dosn't give me any internet. If I use this really old interenet to usb converter then internet is fine.
[11:52] <wols> python only cars about 2.7 vs. 3.1
[11:52] <mega1> Ubuntu 11.04 alternate does it do server
[11:52] <heizmann> How to include in a C project (tarball, bypassing autotools) a config repository, e.g. "/home/$USER/.myprog/myfile.def" please? :)
[11:52] <Lasers> jita: Alpha 3. It's full of bugs. It won't come out for another two months. Yes. Bugs.
[11:53] <[diablo]> afternoon #ubuntu ... in ubuntu 11.04 I thought I would try out xfce and did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop  .... now I want to get rid of it and all its apps. apt-get autoremove did not get rid of all the extras.. anyone know how to please?
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> ionite: run the default apps program and set it as you wish
[11:53] <ionite> ActionParsnip: what do u mean?
[11:53] <Lasers> !puregnome | [diablo]
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> ionite: "default application" is the name of a program, if you set your music player using it, it will change the app in dash
[11:54] <[diablo]> thank you Lasers
[11:54] <Lasers> [diablo]: No problem.
[11:54] <ionite> oic! thanks
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> ionite: i thought it was clear in my first bit :)
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Guest85258: runing an irc client as root is not very smart
[11:55] <mega1> Ubuntu 11.04 alternate iso does it do server
[11:56] <ionite> my mp3s keeps repeating the same segment whenever my system is running @ full capacity. like a broken record repeating itself.
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> mega1: it will give you a desktop OS but install in CLI
[11:57] <ionite> ActionParsnip: i don't have default application in my XFCE?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> ionite: in all apps?
[11:57] <N1Nja> Hey I need help I keep entering a command in terminal and it won't work
[11:57] <mega1> sudo reboot
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> ionite: ahh in xfce, not sure
[11:57] <mega1> password
[11:57] <dr_willis> N1Nja,  and the command is?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> N1Nja: use up cursor then enter
[11:57] <N1Nja> Sudo bring pizza
[11:58] <KM0201> ..
[11:58] <bazhang> N1Nja, enough nonsense
[11:58] <mega1> so it will upgrade my server
[11:59] <heizmann> Hi, everybody ^^
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> ionite: could ask in #xubuntu
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> hi heizmann
[11:59] <heizmann> ActionParsnip: Hi!
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> mega1: it can be used to upgrade a serverm you dont even need to burn it. Just mount the ISO as it is
[12:00] <mega1> how do i do that
[12:00] <N1Nja> !hehe
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> mega1: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> mega1: simples
[12:01] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> hi BluesKaj
[12:02] <BluesKaj> hey ActionParsnip
[12:02] <Ellipsis753> Hey hardware says I should ask here, I just installed this motherboard http://goo.gl/D14Yf and I can't seem to find any driver for it, anyone know where I should ask or where I can get some?
[12:03] <heizmann> A technical question 'bout the creation of tarball packages, need some help. Here the facts: I want (using autotools) create a folder in the $HOME var environment, e.g. "/home/$USER/.myprog/myfile.def". I don't understand how to, because autotools don't know the $HOME var... :) what's the solution?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Ellipsis753: drivers for what part of the board?
[12:03] <bazhang> Ellipsis753, hardware in ##hardware as I said
[12:03] <dr_willis> Ellipsis753,  normally its a 'chipset' you need a driver for. Not the whole MB.
[12:03] <mega1> i will have to burn it
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> mega1: why?
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: sure the user wants ubuntu drivers for his/her hardware?
[12:04] <mega1> no other way of getting it to the computer
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> mega1: so there is no web connection to the server?
[12:04] <chenthu> can some one tell me how to delete a group of file of a particular file type from a system directory
[12:04] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, never heard of motherboard drivers
[12:04] <kki313> hey, I'm looking for an official ARM-Repository for Ubuntu, is there any? I'm on Freescale i.MX515
[12:04] <mega1> network card broken
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: that's why I'm clearing up what part is required and we can progress ;)
[12:04] <bazhang> kki313, try #ubuntu-arm
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> mega1: so what use is a server with zero network connectivity?
[12:05] <mega1> replaced but it wont go on line
[12:05] <kki313> @bazhang: Thanks!
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> mega1: ahhh makes sense
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: are they in the same folder?
[12:05] <raven> xbmc causes opengl error with Radeon Mobility X700 XL - any solution?
[12:05] <chenthu> sudo rm *.png -----------? doe this work in deleting all the png files in the particular directory ?
[12:06] <Anne_> ActionParsnip: I did all the entries in all the files, still no luck
[12:06] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: yeah they are in the same folder
[12:06] <Anne_> apt-get will not connect to canonical :(
[12:06] <chenthu> ActionParsnip:  i have a bunch of wall papers which i moved to /usr/share/backgrounds and i just wanna take out the .png files from them i also have jpg files there
[12:06] <szal> Anne_: exact error msg, please
[12:07] <Anne_> szal: none
[12:07] <heizmann> Nobody for a short explanation, to solve my pb? :)
[12:07] <Anne_> I just wait on 0%
[12:08] <szal> Anne_: then wait until it either progresses or times out
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> chenthu: then you can run: sudo rm /usr/share/backgrounds/*.png   will remove the png files
[12:08] <niidst> hello! i have a script in /opt/perks/perks.rb a wanna know how can i do for enter bash command "perks" run the /opt/perks/perks.rb for ANY user, root/nonpriv user.
[12:08] <Anne_> szal: ok
[12:09] <isbric> niidst: read up on global enviroments
[12:09] <Ellipsis753> Ok that was filly strong chatroom but still OK I'll look up the chipset thanks
[12:09] <niidst> isbric: sorry?
[12:09] <scirvir> Hello I'm looking for a way to adjust programs sounds. I find the one that comes with natty kinda crap.
[12:09] <chenthu> ActionParsnip: ok thanks ... :)
[12:09] <Pici> niidst: drop a symlink to that into /usr/bin/
[12:10] <mega1> i installed new newwork card and ubuntu did not pickit up
[12:10] <isbric> niidst: your eviroment will tell your shell where to look for binarys, try echo $PATH
[12:10] <niidst> Pici: i'm a ruby developer, i don't know about linux :S can you give me some tutorial? or anything?
[12:10] <niidst> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:~./bin
[12:11] <Pici> niidst: I can give you a command: sudo ln -s /opt/perks/perks.rb /usr/bin/perks
[12:11] <isbric> niidst: tha variable hols paths to yor binarys, and as Pici said, make a link to your file in there or add your path to that variable.
[12:11] <tyler_d> I'm trying to get unity back(ubuntu 11.04) when I do unity --reset I get  a seg fault, I went one step further and tried simply `compiz` with the same result.. hep please?
[12:12] <mega1> if i take out the hd put in new one and install ubuntu it will see it
[12:12] <heizmann> Can someone tell me what channel I can ask my question? :-/ Rappel : créer un répertoire de configuration dans le répertoire home, comme "/home/$USER/.myprog/myfile.def" (I'm using autotools)
[12:12] <S0S> Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package tor is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'tor' has no installation candidate  <------------------------- I can't install tor, any ideas?
[12:12] <krazykrivda> if i do: foo="eval cp ~/x ~/y;cp ~/x ~/y1;cp ~/x ~/y2;";$foo    ... i get exactly what I want.   however I need to try to accomplish the same thing by changing the variable 'foo' to something else so i can execute the 'cp' commands byt doing this: cpp $foo ... is this possible?
[12:12] <Pici> !tor | S0S
[12:12] <niidst> Pici && isbric: thanks!
[12:12] <Ellipsis753> bazhang, the thing Is you say go to hardware hardware says go here.
[12:12] <heizmann>  Can someone tell me what channel I can ask my question? :-/ Reminder: create a configuration directory in the home directory as "/ home / $ USER / .myprog / myfile.def" (using autotools)
[12:12] <mega1> so i was thinking of upgrading to see if that will work
[12:13] <Ryan__> SOS, you might try adding the repositories correctly. I don't have them right here for Unity, but the code is: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nameofprogramppa
[12:14] <mega1> do you think upgrading will work
[12:14] <Ryan__> In Google or any other search engine, you might search: unity repository ubuntu 11.04
[12:14] <Pici> Ryan__: What are you talking about? Unity is in the default Ubuntu repos.
[12:15] <tyler_d> krazykrivda: I don't see why can't? just be sure you do cp "$foo" <<destination>>
[12:15] <Ryan__> I was thinking there might be a broken package somewhere on the system. That's why I suggested that
[12:16] <dr_willis> TOR was gone from the ubuntu repos for a long time , i think it only recently got added back in.
[12:16] <dr_willis> !info tor
[12:16] <Ryan__> If you can't install Unity-3d (default), you might try: sudo apt-get install unity-2d
[12:16] <Ryan__> This installs Unity 2d
[12:16] <fider123> is it advised to dist-upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-10 ??
[12:17] <krazykrivda> tyler_d: i can't.. there is a script i cannot modify
[12:18] <krazykrivda> tyler_d: i can't.. there is a script i cannot modify.. the script really says: pm path $file
[12:18] <krazykrivda> tyler_d: but i do have control of the file variable
[12:18] <heizmann> :(
[12:18] <makara> yagoo: yeah i did before, but now i don't have my work computer to copy from. i can't download debs with my laptop 'cause it's 10.04 not 11.04
[12:19] <mega1> how can i get ubuntu to look for new hardware
[12:19] <mega1> and install driver
[12:19] <makara> i just wasted 1.3gig of bandwidth on Jigdo. Warning to everyone
[12:19] <WaltherFI> reboot, should work
[12:20] <Ryan__> makara, you might try upgrading Ubuntu, unless you don't want to. But if you do, then try this: Press Alt + F2 on the keyboard. Then, type: update-manager -d. You can then choose to upgrade Ubuntu.
[12:22] <Pici> makara: NO
[12:22] <bullgard4_> [Natty] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig is headlined: "MMC/SD host controller drivers". What is a "host controller"?
[12:22] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Well back nothing worked on the HDD boot.
[12:23] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: What was the Network mgr alternative you said?
[12:23] <Pici> makara: update-manager -d will prompt to upgrade to the next development release of Ubuntu, which is still in alpha status.
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: wicd
[12:23] <phalaris> hi
[12:23] <TBotNik> Is it a lot better?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: I find it more flexible, it doesn't do 3G but if you never use 3G you are ok
[12:24] <rumba> I unplugged my network cable while the computer was running, plugged it into another computer, then back into mine and now the network doesn't work anymore. I've even reset the router and no change.
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: no software is outright better than another
[12:24] <tyler_d> krazykrivda: what exactly are you trying to do? end goal please? what does this script do? where is it from?
[12:24] <rumba> Command "ip a" gives "2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000". Any idea how to fix this issue?
[12:25] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Until they get together and combine functions, LOL
[12:25] <fider123> is it advised to dist-upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-10 ??
[12:25] <BluesKaj> rumba, try rebooting your computer ..don't ask me why
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> rumba: try restarting the network service, or unloading and loading the module driving the interface
[12:25] <dr_willis> fider123,  if you need the new features.. yes.. if not.. no..
[12:25] <Pici> fider123: If you're not sure, read the changelogs.
[12:25] <rumba> BluesKaj: Did that a few times. Also kept if off and removed the network chable, put the cable back in, turned it back on.
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: there are usually alternatives in all cases, each has strengths and weaknesses
[12:25] <bullgard4_> rumba: Get your eth0 operational.
[12:25] <fider123> Pici: where is a changelog ?
[12:25] <krazykrivda> tyler_d: i think it is simply impossible
[12:25] <fider123> dr_willis: what are the new features ?
[12:26] <dr_willis> fider123,  no idea.
[12:26] <rumba> The network card's lights are on when I boot but they turn off _during_ Ubuntu's boot
[12:26] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: HOWTO url please, tired on this NM mess.
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> rumba: you may need to unload and load the nic module
[12:26] <dr_willis> fider123,  i always upgrade to the latest.... :)
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: sudo apt-get install wicd    it may be on the liveCD which you can add as a repo
[12:26] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Assume I have to purge nm first?
[12:26] <maahes> IIRC, editing resolv.conf manually for ubuntu while using nm-applet was useless because nm-applet constantly overwrote it, if I wanted to force nm-applet to use the same DNS for all connections, how would I do so?
[12:26] <maahes> !dns
[12:26] <maahes> hrrm
[12:26] <rumba> bullgard4_: Isn't that why I'm here? :P
[12:26] <maahes> that's not it
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> maahes: yes but only when the link comes up, if the dhcp has happened you can edit all you want
[12:27] <Jurgentje> Hi... I'm having troubles with LPROF (for icc profiles) ... can't find how to load the IT8 target
[12:27] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Will also have to CHROOT from here to install right?
[12:27] <rumba> Okay, I'm on wireless now. Brb.
[12:27] <dr_willis> maahes,  i just set my routers dns #'s then set the machines to use the routers ip as their dns.
[12:27] <BluesKaj> rumba, then follow ActionParsnip 's suggestion , /etc/init.d/networking restqart
[12:27] <bullgard4_> rumba: I do not know why you are here. But I answered the question which you put here in this channel.
[12:27] <maahes> dr_willis~> this is a laptop
[12:27] <BluesKaj> re3start
[12:27] <Pici> fider123: If you're regularly concerned with what changes upgrades are bringing you, you should install apt-listchanges.  It will give you a list after it has downloaded the packages (before it installs them). Alternatively... I'm getting you a link for this package's changes.. one moment.
[12:27] <maahes> neither of those answers are solutions
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> maahes: you can set DNS servers in network manager, just set the connection to DHCP (address only) and you can set the DNS servers you desire
[12:27] <BluesKaj> this dam kb
[12:27] <maahes> ActionParsnip~> that works *per connection*
[12:28] <maahes> not globally
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: that's another way, slightly more graceful plus you'll get the latest wicd from the repos
[12:28] <TBotNik> how?
[12:28] <maahes> I.e. if I connect to Wifi_Hotspot1 it works there, but if I connect to Wifi_Hotspot2 I have to set it again.
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> maahes: I beleive there is an all connection option. Wicd can do it
[12:29] <rumba> Restarted network service, no change.
[12:29] <rumba> The network card's lights turn off during Ubuntu's boot.
[12:32] <Pici> fider123: This should be it. Chrome is doing some weird things here (windows) so I had to use w3m: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.38-10.46
[12:32] <BluesKaj> rumba, sudo ifconfig up
[12:33] <maahes> I hate that ubuntu now requires logging in to view the forums
[12:33] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: You did not get last Q?  "How?"
[12:33] <rumba> BluesKaj: up: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[12:33] <TBotNik> maahes: Not all entries, just some
[12:34] <skymind0> after i installed backtrack tools on ubuntu 10.04 synaptic package manager did not work  how i can fix that
[12:34] <rumba> Tried rmmod and modprobe r8169, but nothing changed (except that eth0 now appears as the last interface when I do ip a).
[12:34] <dr_willis> skymind0,  try the cli apt-get commands?
[12:34] <bnovc> whenever I start typing anything, anywhere, the Ubuntu panel searcher thing pops up
[12:34] <bnovc> and makes it almost impossible to do anything
[12:34] <dr_willis> skymind0,  whats 'backtrack' tools anyway?
[12:34] <auronandace> !backtrack | skymind0
[12:35] <bullgard4_> [Natty] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig is headlined: "MMC/SD host controller drivers". What is a "host controller"?
[12:35] <bnovc> this happens every few days and I have to reboot to fix it
[12:35] <bnovc> is there any easier way to kill the panel thing?
[12:35] <bnovc> or maybe even a fix for this
[12:35] <yagoo> rumba, u need to alias eth0 to r8169 with modprobe conf file
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: do you mean "How can I chroot"?
[12:35] <yagoo> rumba, perhaps the alias file..
[12:35] <yagoo> !alias
[12:35] <skymind0> all of backtrack tools
[12:35] <yagoo> ubottu should have that factoir
[12:35] <rumba> yagoo: Yes, please be more specific.
[12:36] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: You said "A more graceful way than chroot" I said how?
[12:36] <yagoo> rumba, i think i gave u enough info.
[12:36] <yagoo> (yes i know how to do it)
[12:36] <dr_willis> skymind0,  whats is this 'backtrack tools' You are refering to? Ive never heard of them. If you mean stuff from a a backtrack repo. well. You may want to start by removing them.
[12:36] <yagoo> ( i don't spoon feed nor rtfm because i'm polite )
[12:36] <yagoo> (unless u push me)
[12:36] <bazhang> yagoo, then dont answer at all
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: imho the chrioot is better as you wil be using the web like a regular install. If you enable the install CD as a repo using software centre (and wicd is on the CD) then you can install from there
[12:37] <rumba> I was pushing you to remember the bot's ! command :P
[12:37] <yagoo> rumba, rtfm
[12:37] <skymind0> no  i want them
[12:37] <TheCyberShocker> Hi guys got a different problem now, just installed kubuntu and, for some reason its quite slow, net is slow, and when i click "log out" its just black with the mouse, also the taskbar won't maximize to my screen size
[12:37] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: K how to I set the liveCD as repo?  Never done that one yet!
[12:38] <dr_willis> skymind0,   even tho you just stated they broke your system badly.. anway. try the command line apt-get commands.. see if those still work.
[12:38] <skymind0> plz forgive me sir because my english is weak
[12:38] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: my liveCD is 10.04 default, do you know is wicd is on it?
[12:38] <dr_willis> skymind0,  does 'sudo apt-get update'  and 'sudo apt-get install SOMTHING' still work?
[12:38] <mega1> if i put the alternate ubuntu into cd how do i upgrade
[12:39] <skymind0> i reinstalled ununtu
[12:39] <auronandace> !upgrade | mega1
[12:39] <skymind0> ubuntu
[12:39] <rumba> Yeah, so how do I do that alias? All Google has to offer is vi /etc/modprobe.conf, but I don't have that file.
[12:39] <skymind0> iask because iwant to add that tools again
[12:40] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: locate only shows 2 files on the liveCD, one for desktop and one an image.
[12:40] <skymind0> but i am afraid the same problem come back again
[12:40] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: both under /usr/share/app-install
[12:40] <TheCyberShocker> Hi guys got a different problem now, just installed kubuntu and, for some reason its quite slow, net is slow, and when i click "log out" its just black with the mouse, also the taskbar won't maximize to my screen size
[12:40] <auronandace> skymind0: you haven't told us what the tools are that backtrack uses that you want to install
[12:41] <dr_willis> skymind0,  we have no controll of anything 'backtrack' does if you are using their repositorories. yOu normally DONT mixx repos that way. I sugewst finding the identical tools on ubuntu repos, or ppa's
[12:42] <skymind0> but there is not hacking tools on Ubuntu
[12:43] <dr_willis> skymind0,  name a specific tool you are wanting to use....
[12:43] <dr_willis> theres ppa's and other repos for most everyting that exists for linux for Ubuntu..
[12:43] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: So is the wicd.desktop file the actual install repo?
[12:44] <quiseal> Hello, I am running ubuntu 10.10 and was working just fine till today. Today when I started the laptop, the network manager applet is gone and also there is no network.
[12:44] <skymind0> mata sploit & ettercap &nmap & ,,,,,,,,etc
[12:44] <dr_willis> !info nmap
[12:44] <auronandace> skymind0: hacking in what way? coding? if so then you can install an ide and build-essential
[12:44] <dr_willis> !info ettercap
[12:44] <quiseal> I try to acces my router...but it just returns can not connect to...
[12:44] <quiseal> What seems to be the problem?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: no thats just a way to launch it
[12:44] <dr_willis> theres 2 out of the 3 that exist in the repos skymind0 ...
[12:45] <skymind0> what is repos ?
[12:45] <auronandace> !repo | skymind0
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: if you enable the CD as a repo using software centre or uncommenting the top line in /etc/apt/sources.list  the install CD will be a repo, not sure if its on there. Otherwise you'll need to chroot
[12:45] <Jurgentje> software shop
[12:45] <dr_willis> skymind0,  you may want to spend some time learning Linux/Ubuntu basics then playing with  the more advanced tools...
[12:46] <dr_willis> !ppa | skymind0
[12:46] <quiseal> So, can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?
[12:46] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: looking file
[12:46] <skymind0> you are dr_willis but that tools are very interesting
[12:46] <bnovc> hm, it seems to be every time I hit ctrl or shift that the launcher bar opens
[12:46] <skymind0> right
[12:47] <skymind0> dr_wills what is your opinion about python do you think it is good for beginners &hackers?
[12:48] <OmegaForte> skymind0, Did you just say that...
[12:48] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: My cdrom is not commented out in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, so I'm good to go?
[12:48] <quiseal> Anyone?
[12:48] <dr_willis> skymind0,  just never use the term 'hackers' or 'hacking' again.. it just makes stuff sound stupid.. and Yes. Python is a good language to learn..
[12:48] <quiseal> I need some help to restart the network manager applet. Anyone ?
[12:49] <dr_willis> quiescens,  run nm-applet from the terminal?
[12:49] <skymind0> i am sorry
[12:49] <TheCyberShocker> Hi guys got a different problem now, just installed kubuntu and, for some reason its quite slow, net is slow, and when i click "log out" its just black with the mouse, also the taskbar won't maximize to my screen size
[12:49] <quiseal> dr_willis:  I tried and it tells me it's already running
[12:49] <S0S> The following packages have unmet dependencies:  tor : Depends: libevent1 (>= 1.3e) but it is not installable E: Broken packages  <-------- what can I do about it?
[12:49] <wols> dr_willis: without sudo? is it suid root?
[12:49] <dr_willis> wols,  no idea.
[12:49] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Ah I think we need this in the HDD file, so will work right on reboot, or not?
[12:49] <wols> quiseal: kill it and restart it?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: assuming wicd is on the CD and the CD is in the drive, yes. run:   sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wicd
[12:49] <quiseal> wols:  Tried, not working
[12:49] <quiseal> wols:  I can
[12:49] <wols> !doesn't work
[12:49] <BluesKaj> rumba, that modprobe reference threw me off , but the rt with a number usually indicates a wifi driver, mine uses rtc and I'm on ethernet
[12:50] <quiseal> I can't acces my router either.
[12:50] <quiseal> wols:  I can't be more explicit sorry, because I am on a live cd.
[12:50] <wols> quiseal: but you aren currently here with ubuntu?
[12:50] <Sidewinder1> S0S, You may want to start Synaptic Package Mgr. and "Fix Broken Packages."
[12:50] <quiseal> wols:  On the live cd I can acces my router's ip ...but when I am on my ubuntu...can't.
[12:51] <TheCyberShocker> ..............
[12:51] <quiseal> wols:  I am currently running a live cd...
[12:51] <S0S> Errrr..... ok o.o
[12:51] <quiseal> wols:  Any suggestions ?
[12:51] <OmegaForte> ActionParsnip, Is firewire still considered a "network spooler" in linux...Or do I really have phantom nic's.
[12:51] <wols> quiseal: has your internet access ever worked? andif so, what did you change?
[12:52] <wols> OmegaForte: it still is a NIC aong other things
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> OmegaForte: you can use them as NICs, that I know. Otherwise not sure
[12:52] <quiseal> wols:  I have changed nothing. The current connection works on a live cd just fine
[12:52] <wols> *among
[12:52] <wols> quiseal: I asked about your ubuntu installation
[12:52] <tyler_d> I'm trying to get unity back(ubuntu 11.04) when I do unity --reset I get  a seg fault, I went one step further and tried simply `compiz` with the same result.. hep please?
[12:52] <OmegaForte> wols, Dammit. I hate firewire.
[12:52] <quiseal> wols:  The problem is that when I started my machine today, network manager applet was no longer in the gnome bar...and I could not acces my router from firefox which is odd.
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> tyler_d: is it ok as another user?
[12:53] <quiseal> wols:  Running 10.10 32 bit ubuntu on the machine
[12:53] <tyler_d> ActionParsnip: haven't checked
[12:53] <OmegaForte> tyler_d, Just log out, select the interface tingus and set it to Unity from whatever you set it to.
[12:53] <wols> quiseal: so check logs, the output of ifconfig, your /etc/network/interfaces, etc
[12:53] <tyler_d> OmegaForte: it is already set as unity
[12:53] <quiseal> wols:  Ok, I'll try. Isn't there some kind of repair of ubuntu?:)
[12:54] <wols> quiseal: no there is no magical repair button. next version maybe
[12:54] <quiseal> wols:  Thanks so much :)
[12:55] <rumba> BluesKaj: Mine is r8169. Also, ifup eth0 gives Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
[12:56] <makara> Pici, Ryan__, I can't do updates because i don't have internet connection
[12:56] <wols> rumba: ifconfig -a
[12:56] <tyler_d> ActionParsnip: running compiz from term segfaults
[12:56] <BluesKaj> rumba, so 'route' doesn't give an IP ?
[12:57] <OmegaForte> tyler_d, What'd you do to compiz? It doesnt' segfault on it's own.
[12:58] <ionite> James147: how do i use WINE? I got this error: the file '/home/david/Desktop/English/autorun.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[12:58]  * quiescens blinks
[12:58] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Q: don't I have to chroot to have write permissions and be writing to the HDD when I run those cmds?
[12:58] <wols> ionite: wine <exe file>
[12:58] <ionite> wols: u mean i should use a terminal? can't i use a graphic interface to boot EXE files?
[12:58] <cabuloso> i just installed ubuntu 11.04 and tried gwibber for twitter, but nothing shows up in the timeline after i created the account and authorized, anyone can help?
[12:58] <sudokill> double clicking the exe should work
[12:59] <rumba> BluesKaj: No, I don't see any IP addresses after a 'route'
[12:59] <tyler_d> OmegaForte: nothing to compiz specifically, I have been trying to get unity back for some time; with the nvidia drivers or intel drivers (laptop) I don't really care which... fighting for 2 weeks now; currently I'm using the nouveau drivers(ensured that they weren't blacklisted) and rolled back to an old kernel... still no joy
[12:59] <wols> ionite: yu can. depending how the GUI is set up. and you can alwaysdefine a shortcut that does "wine <program>"
[12:59] <rumba> I just reinstalled the network-manager via aptitude. I'll reboot and see what happens.
[12:59] <OmegaForte> tyler_d, Well, compiz doesn't just into space. It sounds like all the work you've been doing broke a bunch of the dependencies, may be time for a clean install.
[13:00] <tyler_d> OmegaForte: well that is simply fantastic to hear.
[13:00] <ionite> wols: i got this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/659278/
[13:00] <wols> tyler_d: I wouldnÄt listen to him. if there are broken dependencies, apt-get is VERY vocal about them, trust me
[13:00] <OmegaForte> tyler_d, Welcome to Linux. Where the tutorials are older than the distros.
[13:01] <BluesKaj> ok rumba, but an install --reinstall would be best , if you updated lately
[13:01] <AdvoWork> any reason why i cant format a drive from ntfs to ufs with gparted?
[13:01] <wols> tyler_d: and were you should be very careful what people tell you on irc
[13:01] <ionite> wols: alright i solved it. but i'm still puzzled why cant i right click and run it?
[13:01] <wols> AdvoWork: what does gparted tell you?
[13:02] <wols> ionite: cause an .exe file is no linux binary?
[13:02] <tyler_d> OmegaForte: I personally think thats not a valid solution; if I were using windows ok. but I'm smart enough to know that you can check logs; strace on programs, its simply the next step that is missing; finding someone smarter than I am
[13:02] <tyler_d> wols: ;) your a star man I concur
[13:02] <ionite> wols: no i mean, like right click, run with WINE
[13:02] <AdvoWork> wols, its just greyed out
[13:02] <OmegaForte> tyler_d, Well the thing is; that every step forward you take, you remove the ability to take a step backwards unless you maintain recursive backups.
[13:02] <wols> ionite: you are probably looking in the wrong place for autorun.exe. provide a full path to it
[13:03] <wols> AdvoWork: is there a mkfs.ufs somewhere?
[13:03] <ionite> wols: but i still get the error of the file '/home/david/Desktop/English/autorun.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[13:03] <ionite> wols: i'm talking about running from GUI.
[13:03] <wols> tyler_d: have you tried a new user as suggested?
[13:03] <AdvoWork> wols, locate couldnt find mkfs.ufs
[13:03] <wols> tyler_d: ahdn what is the gxinfo | head -n 10 output?
[13:04] <wols> AdvoWork: hence why you cannot create such a filesystem. linux suppor for ufs is very bare to nonexistant anyways afaik
[13:04] <tyler_d> wols: root@cthompson:~# glxinfo | head -n 10
[13:04] <tyler_d> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[13:04] <tyler_d> name of display: :0.0
[13:04] <ionite> wols: i tried right clicking the exe file and run with WINE but it doesn't work.
[13:04] <AdvoWork> wols, thing is, its going to be for a freenas box,which uses ufs :/
[13:04] <wols> tyler_d: that's an wesome reason why compiz segfaults. no proper 3D support.
[13:04] <dr_willis> ionite,  use the terminal   wine /path/to/the/whatever.exe
[13:05] <wols> tyler_d: question: did you use drives from nvidia.com before? and then switched back to nouveau?
[13:05] <ionite> dr_willis: why should i use the terminal and not GUI?
[13:05] <dr_willis> ionite,  you want it to work? :)
[13:05] <tyler_d> wols: fantastical; back to square 1... yah, you and I have been around the block a time or 2 together
[13:05] <sudokill> right clicking the exe should work
[13:05] <ionite> dr_willis: btw, i installed it in C:/windows where can I find the installed application?
[13:05] <sudokill> double clicking*
[13:05] <dr_willis> ionite,  i alwyas use terminal to start wine apps.. theres often a lot of messages/erorrs/info in the terminal text.
[13:05] <wols> tyler_d: answer my question please
[13:05] <ionite> sudokill: i did try right clicking but it wasn't successful till i used the terminal
[13:05] <wols> ionite: check ~/.xsession-errors perhaps
[13:06] <dr_willis> ionite,  wine has its own 'special' .wine directory that clones a winmdows install
[13:06] <bullgard4_> [Natty] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig is headlined: "MMC/SD host controller drivers". What is a "host controller"?
[13:06] <ionite> dr_willis: so where can find the files?
[13:06] <tyler_d> wols: initially I had tried the nvidia.com drivers yes. .then removed; tried the repo nvidia drivers ; rolled back to nouveau (currently nouveau)
[13:06] <makara> let's start from the top. I have Lynx with Internet and Natty without. I run ethernet cable between them and Natty tries to autoconnect ethernet. It fails. Why?
[13:06] <wols> bullgard4_: a controller on a host. SATA, USB, SDCards, all have host controllers
[13:06] <sprung> ionite, there is also a #winehq which is the official WINE support channel, they might be able to help you better
[13:07] <wols> meaning you can attach a "client", in this case a SD card
[13:07] <asdjaputra> makara, wait, what?
[13:07] <tyler_d> makara: because the lynx server isn't a dhcp server?
[13:07] <wols> makara: what is this "Lynx"?
[13:07] <tyler_d> lol
[13:07] <Pici> wols: lucid
[13:07] <tyler_d> makara: lynx as far as I know is a text based browswer
[13:07] <makara> lucid lynx 10.04 LTS
[13:08] <sprung> he's talking about lucid lynx duh
[13:08] <wols> and as tyler_d just told you, this lynxeither needs a DHCP server or you have to set a static IP on both ends
[13:08]  * sprung rolls eyes
[13:08] <tyler_d> awesome.. I just lost the internet race
[13:08] <dr_willis> ionite,  wine installs stuff into the ~/.wine directory
[13:08] <asdjaputra> it's better if he said lucid
[13:08] <asdjaputra> or 10.04
[13:08] <wols> makara: and depending on hardware, you also need a crossover cable
[13:08] <makara> why must I set an IP on Lynx. its got one from the modem
[13:08] <OmegaForte> tyler_d, It's a good thing dude. Winning the internet is paramount to an hero.
[13:08] <sprung> most everybody calls the Lynx browser "links" now
[13:09] <ionite> dr_willis: it's not in the file system manager??
[13:09] <wols> makara: your ethernet you connect to from natty doesn't have an IP. and neither does natty if it doesn't use dhcp or set a static one
[13:09] <sudokill> sprung, theyre 2 different browsers
[13:09] <wols> sprung: no. they are different browsers
[13:09] <Nicolus> is there a xlsx to pdf convertor ?
[13:09] <tyler_d> makara: your 10.04 system gets an ip address from a dhcp server, you need to provide a "bridge" or alternetely the 10.04 has to act as a dhcp server to the other machine
[13:09] <bullgard4_> wols: Ah! Understood. Thank you very much for your help.
[13:09] <dr_willis> ionite,  If your user installs a .exe with wine.. its in the users home dir..
[13:09] <avinashhm> Hi , is there any terminal multiplexer, using which i can log the terminal activities into a file ? i usually do edit -> select all -> copy in gedit in default gnome terminal .. but i want to do automatically in some terminall emulator .. any hep pls
[13:10] <dr_willis> ionite,  You do not install windows apps via wine 'system wide'
[13:10] <wols> avinashhm: screen should do it
[13:10] <OmegaForte> avinashhm, byobu
[13:10] <wols> dr_willis: depends where the .wine is :P
[13:10] <asdjaputra> wols, seconded
[13:10] <tyler_d> makara: or nat it.. but from what I can tell your easiest solution is to plug them both into a router(which is a dhcp server) and go to town
[13:10] <rumba> Reposting with more info: I removed the network cable from my computer, plugged it into another, plugged it back into mine and the network card stopped working in Ubuntu 11.04. The network card's lights also turn off sometime during Ubuntu's boot. I have listed the output of running some commands on my system here: http://pastebin.com/5PenNBs4
[13:10] <avinashhm> wols, i tried following screen, but feel its complicated .. any manual i can find to help
[13:11] <rumba> I am currently on wireless.
[13:11] <avinashhm> OmegaForte, sure .. i ll try byobu .. thanks man
[13:11] <OmegaForte> avinashhm, It's what I use on my SSH server.
[13:11] <wols> avinashhm: there are lots of howtos out ther for screen. literally tons
[13:11] <aphexcoil> is there a beta version of 11.10 available?
[13:11] <avinashhm> wols, actually never digged deep .. i ll try to find and learn .. thanks very much
[13:12] <wols> avinashhm: http://news.softpedia.com/news/GNU-Screen-Tutorial-44274.shtml and it explains logging for example
[13:12] <avinashhm> OmegaForte, sure .. i ll try this
[13:12] <wols> avinashhm: when you search, search for "Gnu screen" or your hits will be not exactly what you look for :)
[13:13] <avinashhm> wols, ok .. so what should i search for ;-)
[13:13] <wols> I just told you
[13:13] <avinashhm> wols, kidding .. i ll narrow it down ;-) .. i think softpedia link is good ..i ll use this .. thanks a ton wols
[13:14] <mega1> how do i get ubuntu to install my network card
[13:14] <makara_> lost you there. must I set an ip on natty? i've set my mobile connection on lucid to allow other users.
[13:14] <wols> makara_: you must set an IP on both ends.
[13:14] <makara_> how?
[13:14] <wols> mega1: which card is it? usually it happens automatically
[13:15] <wols> makara_: network-manager for example
[13:15] <mega1> sudo reboot
[13:15] <makara_> i want it to happen automatically whenever I plug in the ethernet cable
[13:16] <wols> makara_: what are you actually trying to accomplish?
[13:16] <figer> hello
[13:16] <figer> list
[13:17] <mega1> its on board network card
[13:17] <makara_> i have two computers. the only way I can connect to the internet is through a usb modem huawei e180. it doesn't work on natty. its a bug in natty I think. I can't update natty because i can't get internet. I want to create a network between the two computers and update my natty debs using the internet provided by lucid
[13:17] <Sidewinder1> !list | figer
[13:17] <mega1> hd was in another computer
[13:18] <wols> !ics | makara_
[13:18] <makara_> but very simply i want to link these two computers, for internet for files for whatever
[13:19] <wols> makara_: linking just privately for files and linking for using one of them as a router are different things. but see what ubottu told you
[13:19] <mega1> techno
[13:19] <mega1> password
[13:19] <craigbass1976> I'm running a web app and I want to print form it to pdf.  It's only seeing the printers that show up in the print dialog box (what CUPS knows about)  Where do I find a cups pdf printer?  I installed cups-pdf, but sitll don't see a pdf printer showing up in dialongs or at localhost:631
[13:19] <figer> hello
[13:19] <makara_> ok. i'll say what happens
[13:20] <OmegaForte> wols, Want a laugh? I just chmod' a mountpoint, but forgot to set the owner.
[13:20] <wols> OmegaForte: as long as you set your chmod right, it doesn't matter. 0777 is great ;)
[13:20] <OmegaForte> wols, I forgot to, because I'm a pinhead.
[13:21] <mega1> is there anything i can do with this network card
[13:21] <RA_drc> !display
[13:21] <wols> mega1: I asked you something that you still haven't answered yet
[13:21] <makara_> wols: this looks crazy complicated by the way
[13:21] <airtonix> craigbass1976: what version of ubuntu are you using, (the pdf writer has been in the print dialog by default since at least lucid)
[13:22] <mega1> ydont know as its on board
[13:22] <RA_drc> hello, why is it that after a while, the text and icons in my windows in ubuntu become distorted, and stay that way until i refresh the window?
[13:22] <wols> mega1: lspci -nn knows
[13:23] <airtonix> RA_drc: because you're video card isn't properly supported by your driver. I suspect you are using compiz as the window manager, try installing fusion-icon and switching window manager to metacity
[13:23] <craigbass1976> airtonix, I'm in Lucid.  You are right, it's in the print dialog that most apps pop up, but not in this app.  And it doesn't show up in the pist of lrinters when I go into the cups GUI
[13:23] <makara_> wols: i don't think i have the confidence to start with something like this. could you walk me through creating a connection that I can share files across with please
[13:23] <airtonix> craigbass1976: which application is this ?
[13:24] <mega1> ok its a broadcom bcm5751 gigabit pci express
[13:24] <airtonix> craigbass1976: it won't show up in the CUPS web admin or the printer configuration application because it's nothing to do with cups as far as i suspect.
[13:24] <craigbass1976> airtonix, it's a java web app; proprietary that I've managed to get running in linux
[13:24] <RA_drc> airtonix: how can i tell if i'm using compiz, what should i do to install fusion-icon, and how do i switch the window manager?
[13:24] <craigbass1976> airtonix, right, I was wondering if there were some app that would give me a pdf printer cups does see
[13:25] <kakha_> hi all
[13:25] <airtonix> craigbass1976: just out of interest, could you screenshot this print dialog window that your java application is producing ?
[13:25] <airtonix> craigbass1976: in anycase, you canf find the cups pdf printer by using apt-cache search cups | grep pdf
[13:26] <airtonix> RA_drc: either on the terminal : sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
[13:27] <airtonix> RA_drc: or in software center applications > software center. search for fusion-icon, install it.
[13:27] <rumba> fyi: This seems to have fixed the issue: http://www.rvdavid.net/how-to-get-gigabit-speeds-from-rtl81118168b-pci-express-gigabit-ethernet-controller-on-ubuntu-linux/
[13:27] <dr_willis> airtonix,  i saw an alternative to fusion-icon in this list ---> http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/list-of-application-indicators    but hvent triedit yet.
[13:27] <rumba> I had rtl8169 instead of rtl8168
[13:27] <airtonix> RA_drc: once you have it installed, run it : alt+f2 then type fusion-icon
[13:29] <dr_willis> Displex provides similar functionality to "fusion-icon" but provides a lot more features.   http://sourceforge.net/projects/displex/files/
[13:29] <dr_willis> bbl
[13:30] <mega1> wols can you help
[13:31] <wols> mega1: ifconfig -a   you should have a eth0 or so there
[13:31] <wols> if so, "sudo dhclient eth0" and you usually have a IP and working internet
[13:32] <wols> unless network manager crashes the party
[13:32] <BluesKaj> rumba, if you're interested , this might solve any future issues with network manager , http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[13:33] <epzis> hi everyone I own an iMac and i would like to dual boot os X and Ubuntu without having to use rEFIt, is there any way to do so? (if you need informations about my mac please ask  i dont know what may be helpful)
[13:35]  * BluesKaj avoids network manager like the plague , it's not necessary with etherent , network interfaces does the job
[13:36] <dimmATwerk2> what are the chances ubuntu creates a fix for a laptop issue that doesn't happen in windows, but only in linux AND the issue is fixed in a newer BIOS release for the laptop?
[13:36] <wols> BluesKaj: it's not necessary ever. ubuntu just is "user friendly" and uses it
[13:36] <schnuffle> epzis: what about runing ubuntu in a VM
[13:36] <xangua> dimmATwerk2: update the bios
[13:37] <llua> dimmATwerk2: when you file a bug report
[13:37] <epzis> schnuffle: problem is (if you want to call it a problem) that i will hardly ever use OS X so i'd prefer having ubuntu natively installed on that mac, and using a VM would be pretty painful given the specs
[13:37] <schnuffle> epzis: okay
[13:37] <BluesKaj> wols  well user friendly is a relative term :)
[13:38] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: K up on wicd from HDD, but have a minor problem.
[13:38] <dimmATwerk2> llua: let's say one does file a bug report...  would the ubuntu developers create a fix for an issue that's present in a specific BIOS version that does get fixed in a later BIOS release?
[13:38] <dinesh_> Hello friends.. i am using ubuntu.. when i am starting my system i am getting this kind of message one is ( ubuntu,on linux 2.6.38-10 ) other si previous version 2.6.38-8
[13:38] <makara_> hi there. Please help me connect two ubuntu pcs for sharing files
[13:38] <dinesh_> how to remove the previous version
[13:38] <dinesh_> can anybody help
[13:39] <schnuffle> epzis: have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
[13:39] <dimmATwerk2> xangua: i have no problems updating the BIOS...  but apparently there's someone who's expecting ubuntu to fix the issue and i'm trying to see how realistic his expectations are
[13:39] <llua> super realistic.
[13:40] <bazhang> dinesh_, best to keep an extra around
[13:40] <wols> dimmATwerk2: not realistic at all. kernel devs might fix your acpi issue, but not ubuntu devs. usually
[13:40] <epzis> schnuffle: thanks, gotta give it some time to load it on my superfast internet connection (64k lol)
[13:40] <harshada_> how to set command line with arguments autocompletion with up and down arrow in bash??
[13:40] <bazhang> dinesh_, remove with the package manager if you wish
[13:41] <dimmATwerk2> wols: so what happens with the bug report?
[13:41] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Old config bridged wlan0 (inet source) to eth2 (local LAN).  How do I get that done in wicd?
[13:41] <epzis> schnuffle: i may be completely blind or completely stupid but i don't see any way to dual boot without rEFIt in that page
[13:42] <Kiff__> hi guys i have an issue with plugging my phone in via usb. on my other laptop running 11.04 its automounted. on this laptop its not if i go to disk utility and click mount its trying to mount /de/vsda1 not /dev/sdb1
[13:43] <TBotNik> ActionParsnip: Where is a good HOWTO on setting up this kind of bridging/masquerade on wicd?
[13:43] <dinesh_> bazhang # can you guide me how to remove with package manager
[13:43] <dinesh_> i am new to this
[13:44] <h00k> !manual | dinesh_ this may help if you're newer

[13:46] <epzis> hi everyone I own an iMac and i would like to dual boot os X and Ubuntu without having to use rEFIt, is there any way to do so? (if you need informations about my mac please ask i dont know what may be helpful)
[13:47] <usalabs> dr_willis I downgraded samba and winbind and it fixed the problem for windoz shares, but for my opensus server, I found the problem,,,, I had to remove the smbd and nmbd profiles from apparmor
[13:49] <h00k> !mac | epzis
[13:50] <epzis> h00k: been there done that
[13:50] <usalabs> dr_willis it seems the current Lucid security updates that include samba and winbind, break samba and prevent access to local network shares

[13:52] <bazhang> chewy, using handbrake? ogmrip? with what
[13:55] <semitones> hey you guys -- did natty get a kernel upgrade recently?
[13:56] <faint545> anyone in here use Lubuntu?
[13:56] <semitones> maverick just did, was wondering if there was one for natty too around the same time
[13:56] <chewy> bazhang, never heard of them...! which one would suit better?
[13:57] <bazhang> chewy, matter of choice, both are excellent, one is in the repos (ogmrip) the other in a PPA

[13:59] <sosaited> I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 with Unetbootin's hard drive method (on my XP's C drive). I have already partitioned for Ubuntu. And as a workaround to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/313452 bug, when I start the installtion after unmount and then mounting /cdrom. Ubiqutiy crashes at "Copying files";

[14:00] <ActionParsnip> !test | Dries_
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> !mac | epzis
[14:01] <epzis> ActionParsnip: that involves rEFIt which i don't want to use
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> epzis: as far as I am aware you have to
[14:01] <epzis> ActionParsnip: why i HAVE to? what would prevent me from using say grub ?
[14:01] <Kiff__> can anyone assist me with getting automount of a usb device to work
[14:02] <epzis> plus i see lots of people claimiing they dual boot without it (on forums but i couldnt ask them how as they never came back lol)
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> epzis: your dumbass hardware is stopping you. If you had a regular system, you could.
[14:02] <ben22> Could somebody please tell me which service respawns "wpa_supplicant -u -s" when it is killed?
[14:02] <epzis> ActionParsnip: hardware isnt an issue , single boot works
[14:02] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, sudo gedit /etc/fstab . Add the mount point, and the local mount with the noauto flag.
[14:03] <jrib> epzis: you can try grub-efi though I didn't have luck booting os x with it last time i tried
[14:03] <OmegaForte> epzis, Yeah, it is the hardware's fault. Your hardware requires EFI support, which is like a hardware abstraction layer loading before the hardware abstraction layer.
[14:04] <epzis> OmegaForte: AFAIK (i may be wrong on this) Linux (not just ubuntu )supports EFI now
[14:04] <epzis> plus, even tho i would like it to be MY hardware it's actually Apple's lol
[14:05] <qos> hey guys. is there a way to switch between 2 x servers by a terminal command? i started a second x server and now i am not able to switch between them with CTRL-ALT-6..9 -.-
[14:05] <OmegaForte> epzis, Doesn't matter what OSes support it. It matters that your backwards hardware requires it.
[14:05] <JosefAssad> quick question. Can I burn the CD iso on a blank DVD?
[14:05] <bazhang> JosefAssad, yes
[14:05] <JosefAssad> bazhang: ok, cool. Thanks!
[14:05] <bazhang> JosefAssad, or a usb stick
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> epzis: could use boot camp, or is that the same thing?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> epzis: true but you chose to buy it
[14:06] <epzis> ActionParsnip: same thing as what? and i didn't choose to pay it i got it given for work
[14:06] <epzis> *buy it
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> epzis: is bootcamp == refit?
[14:07] <epzis> ActionParsnip: if you ask my opinion bootcamp is nothing (never seen its use) but yeah if you know a way to dualboot using bootcamp ill give it a try
[14:07] <Kiff__> OmegaForte:  lol looking at my fstab for some reason /dev/sdb1 was listed to mount at /
[14:07] <Kiff__> not /dev/sda1.. i changed the sdb to sda and now it works if i plug it in
[14:08] <mega1> wols it says eth4 not eth0
[14:08] <ben22> does anybody know how to permanently kill 'wpa_supplicant' ?
[14:08] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, That's the root mount. Where the OS is installed. You need to find your USB dringus's sd# and set a mount point, and define the file table, add the noauto for when it's missing so it doesn't gripe, define rw so you can write to it, and 0 0 for error handling.
[14:09] <Kiff__> OmegaForte: i know its the root mount.. but i dont know why my root device was listed in fstab as sdb1
[14:09] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, Because that' the location of it.
[14:09] <Kiff__> becuase my root device is sda
[14:10] <Kiff__> df -h shows /dev/sda1             226G  8.2G  206G   4% /
[14:10] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, I learned something yesterday. Certain USB devices get added before some hard drives, but as long as grub points to the right UUID/address, it doesn't matter.
[14:10] <qos> hey guys. is there a way to switch between 2 x servers by a terminal command? i started a second x server and now i am not able to switch between them with CTRL-ALT-6..9 -.-
[14:11] <mega1> can i change eth4 to eth0
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> epzis: not something I've done but it appears it can be done
[14:11] <epzis> ActionParsnip: you have a link describing it?
[14:11] <Kiff__> so it should matter then that i edited fstab to sda1 /
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> epzis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678542
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> epzis: maybe
[14:12] <epzis> ActionParsnip: that asks me to register O.o
[14:12] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, Yeah, it does. Just undo what you did before you break something. In linux, there is no undo button.
[14:12] <doubletwist> So, what might cause java web start [javaws] to take **forever** to start? Even if I just run it to get to the settings, it takes about 2 minutes to actually start, but I can't tell what it's doing. I'm using the sun-java6-jre version of jav
[14:12] <doubletwist> java
[14:13] <Kiff__> ok but  how did it mount /dev/sda1 to / when its listed as /dev/sdb1
[14:13] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, God. Okay, stop overthinking this. Open Disk Util from System - Administration.
[14:14] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, Then unplug the USB dingloid and see WHICH ONE VANISHES. Write that down and plug it back in, and see where it is now.
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> epzis: oh, I have an ubuntu forums account. let me retry. All I'm searching for is: ubuntu bootcamp
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> epzis: you should try it too
[14:14] <Kiff__> i dont need to i know its sdb
[14:14] <mega1> how do i reconfiger my network card
[14:14] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, You  know this, but it wasn't there. Hmm
[14:15] <epzis> ActionParsnip: if i'm here i eventually did some research, all i found was either use refit or windows
[14:15] <Kiff__> it was in disk utility.. i said that when i joined the channel.. but when i clicked mount in disk utility it said mtab says its mounted as / already
[14:15] <OmegaForte> Kiff__, Maybe it's because the special device mounts are detected on kernel boot, instead of by the bios. And anything mounted at / is the ROOT FILE SYSTEM. Where the OPERATING SYSTEM is installed.
[14:15] <Kiff__> which doenst make sense becuase sda is mounted as /
[14:16] <makara_> hi. ifconfig -a gives a list of interfaces: eth0, lo, ppp0, wlan0. if I set the ip for eth0 will that affect the ip for ppp0?
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> makara_: no its a seperate device
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> epzis: not sure, why is refit not desirable?
[14:17] <epzis> ActionParsnip: that mac is still under warranty, surprisingly enough apple wont annoy me if i install linux but surely will if i install refit (thats what they said)
[14:18] <makara_> ActionParsnip: thanks. The eth0 shows an inet6 address. Can i set a ip4 address for it?
[14:19] <houselover> hey guys
[14:19] <houselover> i have a dilemma
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> makara_: if your network supports both then yes
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> epzis: I see
[14:19] <houselover> oops wrong channel
[14:19] <OmegaForte> Oay
[14:19] <OmegaForte> houselover, What's the problem.
[14:19] <makara_> ActionParsnip: how can i set the address?
[14:20] <jita> How do i disable apt-get warning to auto-remove the packages ?
[14:21] <epzis> ActionParsnip: the mac itself is not desirable but since i got it for work (its not mine its company's thats why i can't mess with its warranty) and i have to have it sitting on my desktop id like at least to use it and im not a fan of windows
[14:21] <epzis> nor os x
[14:21] <mega1> ok when my hd was in my old computer it had eth0 as network card now that i put it into new computer it has eth4 but no internet access eth0 was set as static
[14:21] <makara_> jita: go into Synaptic, Settings, Preferences, Files
[14:21] <jrib> epzis: do you need os x on it?
[14:21] <mega1> how can i change this
[14:21] <epzis> jrib: i need to have it installed and I will be using it only for work purposes, which during the summer (actually till november) are kinda rare
[14:22] <jita> makara_: i use apt-get

[14:28] <mega1> no how do you do that
[14:28] <Bronek> thx
[14:28] <qos> jrib, yes. before i started the 2nd x server that worked
[14:28] <Kiff__> boywonder: have you set up the share on the drive?>

[14:28] <qos> jrib, gedit

[14:29] <tuffra_a> vim forever ;)

[14:29] <mega1> this is server

[14:42] <usr13> TBotNik: Second:  Why does it matter if wlan0 comes up first?  What exactly are you trying to do.
[14:42] <TBotNik> usr13: Then what do you use to masquerade and bridge?
[14:42] <usr13> makara_: Then that is all you should need.  Just set the IP as needed and you should be good to go.
[14:42] <jorge12345ff> sorry
[14:43] <TBotNik> usr13: Has to come up first or eth2 was to be primary inet connect and it has to be static dhcpd server.
[14:43] <greywalk> hi. when i activate the proprietary driver for nvidia graphics cards from the ubuntu repo, it installs ok, but the whole system kind of hangs, works more slowly. has anyone else had this problem as well?
[14:43] <usr13> TBotNik: That you can do with firewall settings.  Or you can just enter the commands on  your own.  I ususally use ipmasqurade (via iptables)
[14:43] <lefort_v> Hello !
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> greywalk: try running:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    then reboot
[14:43] <usr13> !firestarter | TBotNik
[14:44] <makara_> usr13: what about this 'Auto eth0' connection from the network connections list. I still says I'm not connected.
[14:44] <ziikutv> How can i fix flash video that freezes and the audio goes on?
[14:44] <usr13> !ics | TBotNik
[14:44] <greywalk> ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll try that
[14:44] <ziikutv> is that a prob with flash
[14:44] <jorge12345ff> hola
[14:44] <usr13> TBotNik: Again, there are a couple of ways to do ICS, take your pick ^^^
[14:45] <Island_Monkey> Can somebody just ban that idiot (jorge12345ff) please?
[14:45] <bazhang> jorge12345ff, english here
[14:45] <ziikutv> *bats the idiot*
[14:45] <oCean> ziikutv: stop that
[14:45] <ziikutv> ok
[14:45] <jbwiv> guys, I'm currently using NVIDIA twinview to provide two monitors. I'd like to add another video card and go up to 3. is this possible? anyone know? would I use twinview or xinerama (or something else)?
[14:45] <bazhang> Island_Monkey, that s not necessary
[14:45] <boywonder> Kiff__, Cannot display location "smb://chris@hmnhd-t120c3/test/test"
[14:45] <jorge12345ff> u
[14:45] <ziikutv> Does anyone know why my video freezes but the audio goes on?
[14:45] <JosefAssad> uh. I got to the part in the 11.04 install where you have to type where you are but I cant type anything in the box. Ideas?
[14:46] <jorge_> its not necessary say some words
[14:46] <ziikutv> what part is that?
[14:46] <jorge_> u are a really idiot
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> ziikutv: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[14:46] <JosefAssad> i cant say anything in it and the forward button is greyed out
[14:46] <craigbass1976> airtonix, hey there.  I had to go for a bit.  This dialog: http://tinypic.com/r/157k8wp/7 is where I'd like to see a pdf printer pop up.
[14:46] <Island_Monkey> One troll sorted.
[14:47] <ziikutv> ActionParsnip: Is that one command?
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> ziikutv: yes :)
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> ziikutv: pastebin the output please (http://pastie.org or similar will do)
[14:47] <phoenixsampras> how to install JRE?
[14:47] <ziikutv> yeap, I use pastein.. Ruby on Rails developer :P

[14:50] <ActionParsnip> ziikutv: 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[14:50] <TBotNik> usr13: I know you think I just came here, but been here off and on since 2 pm, now 10 am, had this working under Network Manager, when a hard reboot corrupted the config and could not recover.  All the 5 normal file were correct, as I re-edited them after the crash, but NM kept displaying 2 false connections [ifupdown (eth2) and ifupdown (wlan0)] in the "Wired" tab of "Network Connections" and can not find any HOWTOs that can tell you 1. Wha
[14:50] <ziikutv> Thanks you are awsome.
[14:50] <ziikutv> I spelled it wrong :p
[14:51] <ziikutv> wow that has autoremove... aren't you the smart one. I was about to ask if I should uninstall previous :P
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> ziikutv: np man
[14:51] <makara_> usr13: i had a look at that earlier. its too much for my brain. i just want to share a file between 2 computers and make sure the cable I've bought actually works
[14:51] <makara_> usr13: its a psychological barrier
[14:51] <TBotNik> usr13: TMI?
[14:51] <boywonder> can anyone help me get this drive share/mounting sorted please?
[14:52] <JTS000ID> I have a Lenovo W520 (64bit) machine and running Ubuntu 64 bit. On power on my machine is frozen. Found this is a Ubuntu issue but not sure what to do now.
[14:52] <ziikutv> ActionParsnip: Will i have to install the chrome plugin?
[14:53] <TBotNik> usr13: Having additional problems since installing wicd, as FireFox refuses to work now.
[14:53] <craigbass1976> Or does ANYONE have an answer?  This dialog: http://tinypic.com/r/157k8wp/7 is where I'd like to see a pdf printer pop up.  There's a windows app called pdfCreator that acts like a printer.  While I realize this is largely unnecessary in Linux, some foolish java programmer (or group of them) requires an actual printer to print to.  I'm stuck
[14:53] <TBotNik> usr13: The purge issued by the wicd install must have knocked out some FF dependencies, so it's broke now.
[14:54] <nankura> does anyone use openbox here?
[14:54] <makara_> craigbass1976: click print to file. you will be able to choose a pdf
[14:54] <boywonder> can anyone help me get this drive share/mounting sorted please? update i have the share now i need to mount it?
[14:55] <airtonix> craigbass1976: print to file...
[14:55] <BluesKaj> TBotNik, sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox
[14:56] <tyler_d> in term I am trying to remove nvida-glx, however it isn't found. so in trying to add it then remove it I see that its refered to by another package... how do I find out what package it is?
[14:58] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, what are you trying to do ?
[14:58] <TBotNik> BluesKaj: No wonder FF was crapping, showing 3.0 and 3.5 both installed in Synaptic, so can't run because of conflicts, purging all the 3.0 stuff going to 3.5
[14:58] <BluesKaj> ok TBotNik , let us know how it goes
[14:59] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: find out what package is refering to that
[15:00] <makara_> mega1: did you come right?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> yeah tyler_d , but why  ...what';s the objective?
[15:01] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: to remove any reference to nvidia-glx
[15:01] <usr13> TBotNik: I do not think that wicd is causing firefox not to work
[15:01] <TBotNik> usr13: When I get FF back up resend me those URLs.
[15:01] <Chad> how is life everybode
[15:01] <makara_> usr13: I'm trying to follow these instructions: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/share-files-between-2-ubuntu-computers/
[15:02] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, which driver ? and are you trying to purge/uninstall it?
[15:02] <craigbass1976> airtonix, no, that brings up ANOTHER print dialog: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=aeuzgx&s=7
[15:03] <makara_> usr13: after filling in the 'connect to server' dialog I get an error
[15:03] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: oh dear me. yes, I am trying to remove all packages that refer to the virtual package nvidia-glx
[15:03] <TBotNik> usr13: I know I was strictly on 3.5 before I issued the wicd install.  It did purge on NM and I had done that a couple weeks back on another machine and that does knock out parts of FF, dependency wise, then all the 3.0 FF stuff had to come from the wicd install, cus I knew I was on 3.5, had cleaned it up about a month back.
[15:03] <atannus> Hi. I have the Purple Screen of Death. 10.10 was running _fine_ on the machine, and after upgrade to 11.04 is stuck on purple screen. I have tried all solutions presented on forums, no good. Booting with older kernels .38 and .35 get me to the login screen, but after I type int hte password, I get nothing but the background and the mouse pointer (which can move). The 10.10 install had openSSH installed and working, so I _can_ ssh into the machine
[15:03] <atannus> , from where I tried removing the nvidia drivers and reinstalling them, which also did not help. This seems to be a common problem with 11.04, and I also know there is no option to downgrade back to 10.10. Does anyone have an idea?
[15:05] <aperture> Anyone know how to get the transparency of the panels just right? It works in empty spaces, but nowhere else (except top icons)
[15:05] <ne2k> TBotNik: Chrome
[15:05] <Myrtti> atannus: have you tried logging in to Ubuntu Classic mode?
[15:05] <makara_> craigbass1976: what are the printer choices from the drop-down list?
[15:05] <atannus> Myrtti, I don't know what that is.
[15:05] <auronandace> !classic | atannus
[15:06] <craigbass1976> makara_, the dell and the brother only.
[15:06] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, if you are trying to install the nvidia current driver , the install should automatically remove any vestiges of previous drivers , if gdm/X aren't running , best to install the nvidia -current driver at a tty .
[15:06] <giulia> hello. How can I make Murrine as the default graphical engine ? Thank you
[15:06] <TBotNik> All: Well still getting the "already running error" from FF.  Anyone know how to restart it without reboot?
[15:06] <abn7575> I want to put gnome3 on here. I like the interface it has
[15:06] <usr13> TBotNik: I think you are wrong, NM and FF do not share any dependencies.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: kill the processes
[15:06] <giulia> TBot : kill the process
[15:06] <moxbox> TbotNick: pkill firefox
[15:06] <usr13> makara_: What error?
[15:06] <bazhang> abn7575, not supported will break unity avoid
[15:06] <bazhang> !gnome3 | abn7575
[15:07] <Onepamopa> guys, any way of making the swap partition IN ram ?
[15:07] <usr13> makara_: What server are you trying to connect to?
[15:07] <abn7575> i know it will break unity. I dont use unity as it is. I dont like it
[15:07] <makara_> hanging on the purple screen of death means no login option to choose interface
[15:07] <bazhang> abn7575, on your own then.
[15:07] <moxbox> Onepamopa: Yes, let me look it up
[15:07] <ne2k> usr13: libc6... ;-)
[15:07] <abn7575> and uhhh actually it can be downgraded did so twice already lol
[15:07] <giulia> just a question at 2cents, how can I make Murrine as default decoration engine on Unity ?
[15:07] <makara_> usr13: my other pc. its linked by an ethernet cable. I set the ip on it to 192.168.4.4
[15:07] <Myrtti> atannus: but with the older kernels you got to the login screen
[15:07] <bazhang> abn7575, full reinstall
[15:07] <auronandace> abn7575: gnome 3 will be supported for the next release (perhaps it is better to wait till then)
[15:07] <abn7575> no
[15:07] <TBotNik> ne2k: Never, a keytracker is a virus, that you willingly install and Google is the leader in analytics because of their keytrackers.  No not installing a virus on my machine.  Already installed all the blocking plugins, so not undoing that!
[15:07] <abn7575> same install
[15:08] <ramontayag> hey guys. i tried searching for this, but can't seem to search with the right words. i have a keyboard that has those special media controls (play, pause, next, stop). it works with miro, but it doesn't work with songbird. is there a setting in ubuntu I can change to get it to work with songbird?
[15:08] <bazhang> abn7575, its offtopic and not supported here
[15:08] <usr13> TBotNik: http://pastebin.com/rKYtVqEW
[15:08] <boywonder> hi can anyone help me mount my network drive, ie do i need to install cifs of smbfs im on 10.4
[15:08] <boywonder> ?
[15:08] <makara_> craigbass1976: how old is your system? what version
[15:08] <usr13> makara_: So you have one set to 192.168.4.4   What IP is the other one set to?
[15:08] <abn7575> lmao what ever man. someone commented on gnome. I said something. dont worry, ill leave though, dont want to bother you fine closed minded peoples. :) peace
[15:09] <TBotNik> usr13: Would if I could, need to reboot, BRB
[15:09] <usr13> TBotNik: Why reboot?
[15:09] <makara_> usr13: 192.168.4.5
[15:09] <giulia> abn, wait until next Ubuntu version
[15:09] <ne2k> TBotNik: google chrome is a virus now?
[15:09] <giulia> Gnome 3 will be released then
[15:09] <atannus> Myrtti, ureadahead main process (317) terminated with status 5
[15:09] <Onepamopa> moxbox okay, thanks ;)
[15:09] <atannus> Myrtti, now I'm stuck on a Black screen! :)
[15:09] <usr13> makara_: Very good, that should work.  Now see if you can ping:  From the 192.168..4.4 machine do:  ping 192.168.4.5
[15:09] <Onepamopa> its just Im getting 48gb ddr3 ecc and it's a good idea to remove the swap partiton @ hdd and make it @ ram
[15:10] <atannus> is that an improvement?
[15:10] <dyd> happy holidays ;)
[15:10] <usr13> makara_: Ctrl-c    #To quit
[15:10] <makara_> usr13: 'network unreachable' it says
[15:10] <usr13> makara_: Check to make sure IP is set;    ifconfig
[15:11] <usr13> makara_: On both machines.
[15:11] <usr13> makara_: Are you plugged into correct ethernet port?  (Do either of those machines have more than one?)
[15:12] <usr13> makara_: If you have NM running, it will sometimes try and change IP settings.  That is sometimes a problem.
[15:12] <makara_> usr13: ok#
[15:12] <makara_> usr13: it somehow lost the ipv4 address, but it still displayed it in the GUI network tools program
[15:12] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: though I appreciate your feedback on that; it ultimately did not answer my question. but ty for trying
[15:13] <tyler_d> in term I am trying to remove nvida-glx, however it isn't found. so in trying to add it then remove it I see that its refered to by another package... how do I find out what package it is?
[15:13] <atannus> Is it possible to Downgrade back to 10.10 from 11.04?
[15:13] <atannus> Or do I need a clean install?
[15:13] <makara_> usr13: i've reset it to 192.168.4.5 and it pings fine
[15:13] <highness_> Umm.. If I want to run something in crontab on a daily basis, will it be correct to use 0 0 * * * root /path/to/script.sh ?
[15:13] <makara_> usr13: now it says 'connection refused by server'
[15:14] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, soory I didn't scrollback to see your original question , I assumed you were having nvidia driver issues
[15:14] <usr13> makara_: Ok you are good to go.  But if you want to use these devices to connect the two PCs together perminately, you may need to set those IP addresses via NM.
[15:14] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: s'all good
[15:14] <BluesKaj> ok tyler_d , good to hear
[15:14] <usr13> makara_: What is saying connection refused by server>?
[15:15] <usr13> makara_: What software are you trying to use?  What type of server are you trying to connect to?
[15:15] <atannus> *sigh*
[15:15] <Pici> atannus: Downgrades are unsupported.
[15:15] <atannus> Then get the fucking upgrades working...
[15:16] <oCean> atannus: that language is not acceptable
[15:16] <atannus> neither is 11.04
[15:16] <makara_> usr13: i put in port 22, ssh, name is alex, the login name of the other computer (lucid lynx 10.04), the folder is /home
[15:16] <ne2k> highness_: that will run at midnight every day, and run it as root
[15:16] <atannus> but no one seems to give a damn about that.
[15:16] <highness_> ne2k: Perfect
[15:16] <usr13> atannus: I understand there is a way to do it and have seen some info on it, but don't know how reliable it is.  Best to back up your /home dir and do fresh install. (If you have /home on separate partition, just tell the install to leave it alone and set same user name.
[15:16] <ne2k> highness_: this is /etc/crontab, not a user's crontab
[15:16] <makara_> usr13: I'm on natty 32bit
[15:17] <highness_> ne2k: That is awesome. I neeed to run as ROOT
[15:17] <usr13> makara_: use the IP address.
[15:17] <highness_> Thanks for verifying
[15:17] <atannus> usr13, lucky I do... thanks.
[15:17] <highness_> Hmm... Stuff that I put in crontab.daily, does it run automatically, or do I need to do something else with it too?
[15:17] <usr13> makara_: i.e.    From 192.168.4.4    ssh atannus@192.168.4.5
[15:17] <usr13> makara_: But if user names are same, just do   ssh 192.168.4.5
[15:18] <ne2k> highness_: look in /etc/crontab and see
[15:18] <highness_> ne2k: oh, I just ran crontab -e
[15:18] <highness_> Is that the wrong way to go?
[15:18] <usr13> makara_:   ssh atannus@192.168.4.5    #Where atannus is the actual user name on 192.168.4.5
[15:18] <atannus> I'll do a clean debian this time. Ubuntu is becoming too applelish to my taste anyways...
[15:19] <Synthead> what does "auth --useshadow --enablemd5" do in a kickstart?
[15:19] <ne2k> highness_: crontab -e is for editing a user's crontab, which is different from editing the system crontab
[15:19] <usr13> atannus: You can switch back to gnome....
[15:19] <atannus> usr13, i cant BOOT into the system...
[15:19] <highness_> ne2k: Ah.. And when I do crontab -e as root, will it have the same effect?
[15:19] <ne2k> highness_: to edit the system crontab, you just edit /etc/crontab -- or use the /etc/cron.daily,etc/ directories (look in /etc/crontab to see how they work)
[15:19] <atannus> usr13, the damn think is broken. upgrade broke it.
[15:19] <ne2k> highness_: I'm not actually sure about that. it shoudl say in the man page
[15:20] <highness_> ne2k: Ok. Thanks.
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, I can ssh, but that's no good for a desktop...
[15:20] <BluesKaj> makara_, ssh default port is 22 , so do , ssh alex@remotepcIPaddress
[15:20] <ne2k> highness_: I do know, though, that it is acceptable and works to edit the system crontab just by editing /etc/crontab and it will automatically be picked up
[15:20] <makara_> usr13: refused. I've only got one login name on this pc and its alex. I'm already logged in and talking to you through it. Can there be multiple logins on one name?
[15:20] <usr13> atannus:  What is broken?  (Probably can be fixed.)
[15:20] <ne2k> highness_: and that it is /not/ acceptable to edit a user's crontab in this way
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, Ubuntu is. Unity.
[15:20] <highness_> ne2k: Roger
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, I get a purple screen, nothing else.
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, its windows all over.
[15:21] <gusg> I'm trying to run "sudo ldconfig" but I'm getting this error "/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied"
[15:21] <usr13> atannus: ...or gnome,(your choice).
[15:21] <atannus> usr13, so much for error messages... just lock the user on a purple screen.
[15:21] <jrib> atannus: didn't you quote an error earlier?
[15:21] <usr13> makara_: There will only be multiple logins if you have created multiple users.
[15:22] <atannus> jrib, read back and you'll understand, son.
[15:22] <dean> Hey all could someone tell me if it is or isn't recommended installing kde inside ubuntu?
[15:22] <jrib> atannus: I think we should try to focus on fixing your ubuntu
[15:22] <usr13> makara_: Are you sure you have the right password in mind?
[15:22] <craigbass1976> makara_, what system, this computer?  It was new within the last three years.  I'm running lucid
[15:23] <atannus> jrib, agreed.
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> atannus: boot to classic desktop and get 3D accelleration running
[15:23] <BluesKaj> makara_, so you say the pc you are sshing from doesn't connect to the internet , only thru ssh into the pc that does connect ?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> dean: you can if you want
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> dean: doesn't break anything, you will choose the session at logion
[15:23] <atannus> jrib, do you have any ideas? This seems to be a common problem, 100s of ppl reporting it on forums, dozens of "solutions" but none work. All forums tipos are still wide open, and most ppl just gave up.
[15:24] <jrib> atannus: what solutions have you tried that failed?
[15:24] <atannus> Or, perhaps I'm incompetent to find the solution...
[15:24] <dean> ActionParsnip, Is it easy to do also if I chose kde would I still have access to files and programs etc?
[15:24] <makara_> Blueskay: the first thing yes, the second no
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> dean: yes, you can even run gnome apps in kde
[15:24] <atannus> ActionParsnip, read what I said before you suggest IMPOSSIBLE solutions, PLEASE.
[15:24] <usr13> makara_: What exactly are you trying to do?
[15:24] <makara_> usr13: I created a second user and said don't require password to login. it still refuses my connection
[15:24] <ionite> Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab??
[15:24] <iridium> hey boys, I use to do an "netstat -atun | grep 80", but I'm curious there is any way to filter ports in netstat without using grep, awk or similar?
[15:25] <atannus> ActionParsnip, I get an EMPTY PURPLE SCREEN, I CANT BOOT.
[15:25] <t4nk552> hello to all, xdpyinfo show my resolution 3x0 dot per inch. But if I change my resolution and back to it's original, it shows 96x96. Why is xdpyinfo showing wrong dpi in the beginning?
[15:25] <makara_> usr13: share files between 2 pcs using a crossover cable
[15:25] <usr13> makara_: You can't do that.  You need to have a password.
[15:25] <dean> ActionParsnip, How would I go about installing it? also if I wanted to remove it would it be easy to do?
[15:25] <makara_> usr13: for now
[15:25] <usr13> makara_: If you simply want to share files, use nfs
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> dean: you can install minimal kde or kubuntu-desktop and get the full kde goodness
[15:25] <atannus> jrib, I tried falling back 4 kernel versions, tried using the default nvidia drivers, tried upgrading to latest nvidia drivers, tried safe mode, nothing works.
[15:25] <makara_> craigbass1976: not sure why you're not getting the pdf option. do you have LibreOffice or OpenOffice installed?
[15:26] <usr13> !nfs | makara_
[15:26] <dean> ActionParsnip, Is there a best preference?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> dean: its not so easy to get off but is defaintely doable
[15:26] <craigbass1976> makara_, libre
[15:26] <ionite> ochosi: but XP worked fine with my speakers. so i mean what should i install or something?
[15:26] <ionite> Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab??
[15:26] <usr13> makara_: If you want to simply transfer files from one to the other, use scp
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> dean: whichever you prefer, if you have loads of space available then go full fat
[15:26] <jrib> atannus: by "nothing works" do you mean that nothing changed or that did it fail in a different way?
[15:26] <atannus> jrib, with older kernels I can get to the login screen WITH NO OPTIONS BUT THE PASSWORD INPUT. That means, ActionParsnip, I CANNOT CHOOSE CLASSIC MODE.
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> atannus: lose the caps, it achieves nothing
[15:26] <dean> ActionParsnip, I have 56gb spare
[15:26] <atannus> jrib, same purple screen, different resolutions (apparently)
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> dean: that'll do
[15:27] <atannus> AceKing, OK, WILL DO.
[15:27] <atannus> AceKing, sory... meant to ActionParsnip
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> atannus: try the boot option: nomodeset   you probably have a crappy intel gpu
[15:27] <dean> ActionParsnip, When I log in and choose kubuntu can I still use files that are in Ubuntu such as video music and pictures?
[15:27] <atannus> ActionParsnip, the crappy intel gpu worked fine on 10.10.
[15:27] <usr13> makara_: If want to share files, use nfs  Set statick IPs for both systems and set up nfs share on one and make a fstab entry on the other to perminately mount the share on the other.
[15:28] <makara_> usr13: i just want to get something to work. all these options are driving me nuts
[15:28] <jrib> atannus: does "recovery mode" behave differently?
[15:28] <atannus> jrib, boots into a prompt.
[15:28] <atannus> jrib, pointless since I can ssh into that machine from other boxes.
[15:28] <jrib> atannus: can you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> atannus: then nomodeset may be needed, some display stuff in 11.04 is ni teh kernel, which is why it works in Maverick
[15:28] <usr13> makara_: Sorry.  But again, if you just tell me what you want to do, I can help you. For now, do you just want to make ssh connection?
[15:29] <ionite> Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab??
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> atannus: different kernel, different issues. Something working in an older version doesn't mean as much as you think
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> ionite: how much RAM do you have?
[15:29] <BluesKaj> makara_, I agree with usr13, nfs works well for file transfer and access
[15:29] <makara_> anything! i've never got an ethernet cable to connect 2 ubuntu computers in my whole life!
[15:30] <ionite> ActionParsnip: 512
[15:30] <atannus> http://pastebin.com/gX8AFHPF
[15:30] <makara_> if this works I'm opening a bottle of champaigne tonight
[15:30] <usr13> makara_: On the contrary, you have just now.  (you said you could ping the other machine, right?)
[15:30] <jrib> atannus: by the way, does ctrl-alt-f1 get you to a tty and away from the purple screen?
[15:30] <makara_> usr13: that's worth a peach schnapps
[15:31] <atannus> ActionParsnip, Ok. When Ubuntu doesn't work, its my working hardware's fault. Your should be hired by Microsoft, dude.
[15:31] <atannus> They'll love yah.
[15:31] <usr13> makara_: Do you want to connect via ssh from 192.168.4.4 to 192.168.4.5  or  from 192.168.4.5 to 192.168.4.4  ?
[15:31] <atannus> jrib, lemme check
[15:31] <jrib> atannus: please... stay on-topic
[15:31] <makara_> usr13: yes
[15:32] <atannus> jrib, no.
[15:32] <usr13> makara_: see my pm
[15:32] <atannus> jrib, the only think that responds is ctrl-alt-del
[15:32] <jrib> atannus: try what ActionParsnip suggested by pressing 'e' at the grub screen to edit the kernel line.  I was going to suggest removing "splash" but I suppose trying a few variations will not hurt
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> atannus: no, just that the OS is different so may not work as you expect. Did you try the nomodeset boot option?
[15:33] <atannus> jrib, tried removing splash.
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> ionite: should be ok. Does it affect all media playing apps
[15:33] <mman> im trying to instal atk-1.30 lib and when doing ./configure i get this error: pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.28.8, but GLIB (2.28.6) was found! ...
[15:33] <atannus> ActionParsnip, yes, I did.
[15:33] <jrib> atannus: remove 'quiet' too, it might provide more information
[15:33] <atannus> jrib, also tried to remove quiet. I said I tried _all_ forum fixes, and none worked.
[15:34]  * jrib has not memorized all forum fixes...
[15:34] <atannus> jrib, ActionParsnip I'm not lying when I say I've read and tried forums, guys...
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> atannus: try the boot option:  intel.blacklist=1
[15:34] <mman> im trying to install gtk+3
[15:34] <atannus> ActionParsnip, jrib you know what, I've been at this for 5 hours, I'm gonna do a clean install... thanks.
[15:34] <jrib> atannus: ok
[15:34] <atannus> The upgrade was acciental anyways!!!!!!
[15:35] <mman> is the gtk3 already in repositories?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> atannus: nice, personally  always clean install, fewer issues
[15:35] <atannus> jrib, ActionParsnip thanks for your time.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> mman: for Oneiric, yes otherwise no
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> atannus: np man :)
[15:35] <atannus> ActionParsnip, the upgrade was accidental... new guy in the office...
[15:36] <atannus> I tried Unity couple weeks into beta and hated it...
[15:36] <atannus> I'd give it another try now, but too much hassle... maybe in a few months.
[15:36] <atannus> cheers folks
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3 | mman
[15:38] <ionite> how do i install pulse audio?
[15:39] <administrator__> hi there
[15:39] <mman> ActionParsnip, I want to install glade for making gui for c++ or do you recommend me other program?
[15:40] <wai1234> Hi. Need help with a server config problem (10.04 LTS)
[15:40] <Narc> Hello everyone. I really need your help here. Two months ago, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an old Toshiba Satellite for a friend, and I'm running into issue after issue. Now it's almost working thanks to Kernel 2.6.38-10 but the network stops working after a while. I think it's a network module problem. Here's the kernel log: http://pastebin.com/72VCnKFT  I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks...
[15:43] <wai1234> 10.04 LTS server using an old laptop with lid switch that turns off screen.  UB6 did NOT sleep with lid closed but 10 DOES.  How do I turn this off? This is NOT a GUI config question, it's a server.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> mman: python makes nice GUIs
[15:43] <dli> Narc, the kernel log shows NIC working, but you got problem with system apic
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> wai1234: afaik, the screen will simply dim after some time
[15:44] <wai1234> Nope, the machine tries to sleep/suspend when I close the lid.
[15:44] <dli> Narc, also, 8139too is quite stable for me, can you boot with kernel parameters: acpi=off no apic
[15:44] <wai1234> I don't want sleep EVER
[15:44] <Narc> dli: That's the part about using a strange power saving mode, is it ?
[15:45] <wai1234> I assume it's a power management configuration issue.
[15:45] <mman> ActionParsnip, but I want something easy to make GUI, something like "visual basic" that is easy to create guis
[15:46] <dli> Narc, try noapic first
[15:46] <Narc> dli: I tried these with older kernel but never with this one because acpi=off tends to screw everything, including network, but I'll try that right now. Thanks for your help.
[15:46] <dli> Narc, try combinations with acpi=off and noapic
[15:46] <mman> ActionParsnip, with Qt i think it is possible
[15:47] <Narc> dli: I'm trying that right now... We'll see :)
[15:47] <dli> Narc, since you mentioned "old machine", it might be an overheating problem, try to improve system cooling
[15:49] <usr13> What is the command to get apt-get to just download openssh-server  (just to get the .deb file)
[15:49] <usr13> ?
[15:50] <rumpe1> usr13, --download-only
[15:50] <rumpe1> usr13, oh... maybe wrong. "apt-get download <package>"
[15:50] <M0TRN_th1> hey, does anyone know a cool media-center / music player thing for ubuntu that has a remote control app for Android?
[15:51] <M0TRN_th1> I want to make the android control the music in the house speakers
[15:51] <oCean> usr13: apt-get install openssh-server --download-only
[15:51] <oCean> usr13: then it's in /var/cache/apt/archives
[15:52] <Narc> dli: Yeah, it's really an issue, but my friend already bought a base with fans to cool it. I cleaned it the best I could...
[15:53] <dli> Narc, taking out the CD-ROM drive, if you can
[15:55] <Starman83> Is there a way to disable xdm ?
[15:55] <Starman83> I don't want it to start every time I boot
[15:55] <Narc> dli: I'd try that. What it need is RAM, but I don't even want to try. noapic seems to solve it as far as I can tell... Thanks a lot.
[15:56] <dli> Narc, still overheating is the real issue
[15:57] <Narc> dli: Do you think the network crash is caused by overheating ?
[15:58] <dli> Narc, one possibility
[16:02] <dr_willis> StrangeCharm,  its started by a service in /etc/init/  rename the xdm.conf or gdm.conf or kdm.conf (or whtgever its called) to gdm.DONTRUN
[16:02] <Narc> dli: Is it possible that apic or acpi is "telling" the module to crash, or am I talking nonsense ?
[16:03] <dr_willis> StrangeCharm,  is on way. using the 'text' kernel boot option will also disable gdm plymouth and the framebuffer I think
[16:03] <Narc> dli: I mean, because of overheating.
[16:03] <dli> Narc, yes, overheating causing invalid processing, signals, etc
[16:03] <Narc> dli: Ok, thanks.
[16:04] <dury> hi there channel :)
[16:05] <dury> wols_: hi there :)
[16:06] <dury> wols: hi there :)
[16:07] <KM0201> :)
[16:07] <dr_willis> M0TRN_th1,  check out xbmc and boxee. and vlc all 3 have  remote app for ANdroid
[16:07] <dury> KM0201: hi there
[16:10] <sdhasu> i demand to know how to install ubuntu to fat32
[16:11] <dr_willis> sdhasu,  that was a feature on distros years ago.. dont think its doable these days
[16:11] <sdhasu> why the fuck not?
[16:11] <h00k> !language | sdhasu
[16:11] <PicCard> sdhasu, emulate ubuntu with an OS emulator
[16:11] <sdhasu> whats wrong with fuck? fuck fuck fuck fuck
[16:12] <tyler_d> anyone care to take a stab at this with me: I'm getting the error GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) in Xorg.0.log on bootup; as such unity will not run; I have the latest restricted drivers; however there still exists a virtual package "nvidia-glx" that is a virtual package, it is refered to by another package; I have confirmed that I have the latest restricted drivers from ubuntu. so now what?
[16:12] <ChogyDan> how did you confirm?
[16:12] <Shiftwow> hello
[16:12] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: do you have nvidia-current installed?
[16:13] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: yes
[16:13] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: maybe try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-`uname -a`
[16:14] <ChogyDan> wait, that isnt right
[16:14] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: you mean -r
[16:15] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
[16:15] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: ;) yup
[16:15] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: will have to restart after but we will tias for sure
[16:16] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: if it builds on dkms stuff, then maybe that was the issue
[16:17] <lestat> hi all
[16:17] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: didn't build on dkms stuff... however did something with the nvidia-current
[16:17] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: let me restart and I will come back
[16:17] <lestat> any clue why X is not finding vboxvideo eventhough it's there ? http://pastebin.com/AySEb0wp
[16:18] <Fuego> Hi all- I'm trying to install ubuntu on my PC. I have two partitions on my 1TB drive, one for windows, and one that I just formatted through GParted. When I get to the "Allocate Drive Space" screen, it lists no devices, says /dev/sda beneath "Device for boot installation", and doesn't give me the drop-down menu.
[16:20] <t4nk678> is there an alternative of using XDisplayHeightMM?
[16:20] <phoenixsampras> where is the python executable located?
[16:21] <oCean> phoenixsampras: use   which python
[16:21] <tensorpudding> phoenixsampras: /usr/bin/python
[16:21] <tensorpudding> phoenixsampras: it's usually a link to /usr/bin/pythonX.X
[16:21] <tyler_d> same error
[16:21] <tensorpudding> for a particular version
[16:21] <tensorpudding> so that you may have multiple versions of python installed at once
[16:21] <phoenixsampras> tensorpudding: thank you bri
[16:22] <phoenixsampras> bro
[16:22] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: are you sure your card takes the latest version?
[16:23] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: it is a GT330M which I have confirmed to work with the lastest so yes
[16:24] <brickwall> I need this fixed urgently: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1818887 Thanks in advance
[16:24] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: are you on 11.04?
[16:24] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: yes I am
[16:24] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: 32 bit
[16:25] <bkerensa> brickwall: I need specs and more before I can take a stab at it
[16:25] <dr_willis> brickwall,  at least summarize the issue here. Most people will just ignore a question that is just a URL,
[16:25] <brickwall> bkerensa: Like what type? I thought the alsa thing would be enough
[16:26] <brickwall> So, it seems that ubuntu has absolutely no idea that this laptop has a microphone. In the audio preferences there is only one audio input: Analog audio
[16:26] <brickwall> Alsa info: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=43...447219202ddb0e
[16:26] <OmegaForte> bkerensa, The mic he wants to use is built into the webcam on the laptop.
[16:26] <bkerensa> OmegaForte: Ahh
[16:26] <makara_> suppose I mount an iso. how can I navigate through the folders of the iso from the terminal?
[16:26] <designbybeck> anyone know how to fix suspend/hibernate problems in Ubuntu 11.04
[16:27] <designbybeck> Last I tried didn't fix anything
[16:27] <dr_willis> makara_,  same as you would any other directories..
[16:27] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: how can I tell what package is refering to nvidia-glx?
[16:27] <dr_willis> makara_,  via cd, ls and so on
[16:27] <chenshaoju> you can google it.
[16:27] <makara_> i thought I would find it in /mnt but there's nothing there, nor in /media
[16:27] <M0TRN_th1> dr_willis, I found "mpd" which also has it and it works great, just can't control more than one mixer channel which is a shame since I want to adjust hte volume for each room
[16:27] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: apt-cache rdepends nvidia-glx             what I use
[16:28] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: or wait, maybe aptitude why nvidia-glx
[16:28] <OmegaForte> brickwall, This line tells me that the mic is known, but not detected/activated/supported. Pin Default 0x95a70120: [Fixed] Mic at Int Top
[16:28] <OmegaForte>     Conn = Analog, Color = Unknown
[16:28] <OmegaForte>     DefAssociation = 0x2, Sequence = 0x0
[16:28] <OmegaForte>     Misc = NO_PRESENCE
[16:28] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Oh, yes. I asked you earlier :P
[16:28] <MeXTuX> I have a dual boot system: Windows is /dev/sda and Ubuntu is /dev/sdb. Yesterday I started to receive messages about the Windows disk. They say "SMART STATUS: Disk failure is imminent". I wanna remove the windows disk and know that I will need to boot with a live CD and reinstall grub. Are there any other tasks to accomplish??? Tnx in advance :)
[16:28] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: based on thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=808247 and it does show as referenced from some "other" package
[16:29] <csdwifi> i've got a samba share at smb://csdserver/supshare, I'm able to access it and write to it from this PC, but for instance I'm running a bittorrent and would like to save the torrent to the remote share without first having to download it to the local system. how do i bypass this?
[16:29] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: have you tried removing the driver, and reinstall using the restricted driver manager?
[16:29] <bkerensa> OmegaForte: He could edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[16:29] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: 2 times now
[16:29] <epzil0n> MeXTuX: do you use Grub now?
[16:29] <edbian> MeXTuX: That should be it.  Make a backup of that drive ASAP
[16:29] <bkerensa> OmegaForte: and activate then restart
[16:30] <brickwall> OmegaForte: So, how do I fix it? Thanks for helping.
[16:30] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep nvidia`
[16:30] <edbian> MeXTuX: If I were you I would take it out of the case entirely until you do the backup
[16:30] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep nvidia` with an awk and some other stuff
[16:30] <OmegaForte> bkerensa, If it was known. It says no_presence. It doesn't see anything on the pin.
[16:30] <rumpe1> MeXTuX, easiest way would be to put the bootloader to sdb from running linux
[16:30] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: but you used the gui to reinstall. right?
[16:30] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Go ahead and try what bkerensa said; He could edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-bas
[16:30] <szal> MeXTuX: you should be able to just install Grub to sdb now
[16:30] <airyK> I need to make more space available in a specific folder with a second harddrive, but also make use of the current hdd space... Basically I'd like to combine two drives and increase the space of that specific folder. Is this possible ?
[16:30] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: you got it
[16:30] <dr_willis> csdwifi,  you can mounta windows share to a directory via the fstab and it will be writeable to as any othe directory.
[16:30] <dabbish> When I open a document with Chinese text in Gedit it comes out like this: "ÑéÖ€ÂëŽíÎó". What can I do to make it display properly?
[16:31] <szal> MeXTuX: and while you're at it, just out of curiosity, could you please pastebin 'sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda'?
[16:31] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Okay
[16:31] <bkerensa> brickwall: Sometimes its alsa-base.conf on newer releases
[16:31] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: my last shot in the dark would be to try the beta/alpha drivers in the xorg ppa
[16:31] <rumpe1> dabbish, you probably need the language-pack
[16:31] <bkerensa> brickwall: Just make sure to restart alsa
[16:32] <rumpe1> dabbish, search for "zh" in your package manager
[16:32] <brickwall> bkerensa: So, what do I edit in it?
[16:32] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: like https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[16:33] <MeXTuX> szal this is the command output http://paste.ubuntu.com/659394/
[16:33] <dabbish> rumpe1, thanks, I will
[16:34] <bkerensa> brickwall: Look for options snd-hda-intel
[16:34] <dabbish> rumpe1, SCIM Input Method?
[16:34] <zoLevDotCom> Hi!
[16:34] <bkerensa> brickwall: If you find it let me know what the full line is on paste.ubuntu.com
[16:34] <rumpe1> dabbish, scim is needed for input, not output
[16:34] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: gross. I'm sorry to hear that. the apt-cache rdepends returns only <nvidia-glx>
[16:34] <csdwifi> dr willis - it is writable from this machine, it's mountd in nautilus, it's working great.  but if, say, i'm downloading locally, nautilus doesn't let me browse to it on the left pane, even if it's mounted and bookmarked.  i guess the thing i really should do, to make it simpler, is find a way to run my download services off my wired pc
[16:35] <e0s7> question...if youre connecting to a socks proxy via a ssh box, then use that to tunnel traffic between your browser to another server, does that get logged anywhere in the proxy box?..proxy box is a linux distro
[16:35] <antit> hi, anyone try linux on Acer timelineX 4830TG ?
[16:35] <dr_willis> csdserver,  nautiuls mounts it to the .gvfs directory somewhere.. Using the fstab method would let YOU mount it where you want.
[16:35] <dabbish> rumpe1, Normally Chinese displays fine.  But this document that I downloaded does not
[16:36] <csdwifi> ok, i'll get my feet wet on that, i've worked with fstab a bit earlier today
[16:36] <edbian> e0s7: It will log the initial connection but nothing about what data is passed through it.  (cat /var/log/auth.log)
[16:36] <szal> MeXTuX: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   0x0033   134   134   140    Pre-fail  Always   FAILING_NOW 523 <- this thing is through, as it looks..  raw error rate is low, but still, that here's what counts
[16:36] <brickwall> All I see with the work 'intel' in it is: options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
[16:36] <bkerensa> k one sec
[16:36] <rumpe1> dabbish, well... there exist hundreds of different encodings for chinese. Or maybe it's broken. Hard to say.
[16:36] <e0s7> edbian: thanks, and to see traffic they could use wireshark took or something to see what i pass through...the requests but not the payload since its encrypted
[16:37] <LiquidsnakeX> hiiiiiiiiiii admins
[16:37] <dabbish> rumpe1, Ok thanks
[16:37] <airyK> Is it possible to map 2 drives to a single folder?
[16:37] <edbian> e0s7: That is my understanding yes.
[16:37] <LiquidsnakeX> i have a problemmmmmmm
[16:37] <edbian> LiquidsnakeX: what is it
[16:37] <e0s7> edbian: ok thanks
[16:37] <edbian> airyK: If you're talking about mounting, not
[16:37] <edbian> no*
[16:37] <dr_willis> airyK,  depends on what you are trying to do..
[16:37] <edbian> e0s7: sure
[16:37] <bkerensa> brickwall: Try switching that 2 to 0 then save and restart alsa
[16:37] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: you might wannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnt to type normallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :P
[16:37] <antit> i have no sound with snd_hda_intel
[16:37] <LiquidsnakeX> lol just trying to catch some attention that's all <3
[16:38] <dr_willis> airyK,  there are 'fuse' tools that let you do some neat tricks like the unionfs and so on.
[16:38] <joewlan> hi I use wpa supplicant to authenticate eth0 on a LAN, I have a AP capable wlan0 on the same machine and want to allow other pc to connect to the LAN via WLAN, what do I need to do now?
[16:38] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: bad idea, you're more likely to be ignored that way
[16:38] <dabbish> LiquidsnakeX, Keyboard problem? ;)
[16:38] <airyK> It's for fog project and i'd love to map a second drive to my /images/ directory
[16:38] <cgtdk> DR ZAIUS, DR ZAIUS!
[16:38] <Mikelevel> cgtdk: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado.
[16:38] <LiquidsnakeX> ANY admin here to help me with my problem ?
[16:38] <dr_willis> airyK,  you can easially mount a hd to some sub directory somewhere else on the filesystem
[16:38] <t4nk678> xdpyinfo shows resolution to be 3x0 dpi, if I change the resolution and change it again to it's original. It shows 96x96 dpi, how can I fix this?
[16:38] <LiquidsnakeX> i have this old compaq presario 2226 CL it came with windows xp home edition
[16:38] <MeXTuX> szal so I suppose I need to start to backup all my info :S
[16:38] <airyK> fuse tools
[16:39] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: Im not an admin but can help :)
[16:39] <airyK> I'll have to look this up
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> and the drivers are not for ubuntu os
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> thanks bkerensa
[16:39] <dr_willis>  airyK  instead of /media/disk1 and /media/disk2   you could have   /media/disk1    and /media/disk1/disk2
[16:39] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: Do you want to put Ubuntu on it?
[16:39] <brickwall> How do I restart alsa?
[16:39] <oCean> LiquidsnakeX: describe your issue in single line please
[16:39] <aman> hi guys, is there any tool like Visual Studio in linux? I wanted to debug my code using breakpoint.
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> i have this compaq presario 2226 CL and i don't have the proper drivers for ubuntu , as it came with windows xp home edition
[16:39] <dury> hi there channel  ;)
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> yes i want to try Ubuntu on it
[16:40] <airyK> Would I have to mount that using fuse ?
[16:40] <t4nk678> aman, use GDB
[16:40] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: Have you already install Ubuntu on it?
[16:40] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: define 'proper drivers'
[16:40] <Apage43> So, I've got ubuntu installed on a UEFI system, straight off the 11.04 disk. It's asking me to do a software update, which says it cannot proceed correctly and then wants to do a dist-upgrade which will remove the EFI grub and install a BIOS grub
[16:40] <Apage43> this is probably not right. is there a fix?
[16:40] <dr_willis> airyK,  fuse is for fancier things..   seems you are just talking abut mounting to a location yu want.
[16:40] <aman> t4nk678, can i see every variable value like we see in VS?
[16:41] <t4nk678> yes
[16:41] <brickwall> There does not seem to be a /etc/init.d/ type thing
[16:41] <LiquidsnakeX> the proper drivers, which will work on ubuntu without any confilct or problem
[16:41] <LiquidsnakeX> bkerensa no
[16:41] <airyK> Exactly dr_willis, just a single folder... currently I have the second hdd setup with fstab and mounted to my specific folder. In this case /images/
[16:41] <t4nk678> aman: you have to print them out yourself, of course.
[16:41] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: define 'proper drivers'
[16:41] <e0s7> how can i block an ip from trying to connect to my ssh server
[16:42] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: You should be ok to just install from cd or USB and if you need drivers just use the additional drivers section once you install Ubuntu and you can grab them
[16:42] <dr_willis> airyK,  you could mont other drives to /images/disk2  and /images/disk3  and so on.
[16:42] <rumpe1> e0s7, fail2ban
[16:42] <aman> t4nk678, i mean like we do in VS, we move cursor over a variable and it shows the value of that variable.
[16:42] <dr_willis> e0s7,  sshd deamon configs has settings for that.
[16:42] <nikk> hello, i just installed the LAMP server using tasksel and php files are downloading instead of displaying, but only in the userdir.  what configuration setting am i missing?
[16:42] <airyK> I'm not sure if fog will be able to work with that - Everything has to be in that one specific directory
[16:43] <e0s7> can i use hosts.deny?
[16:43] <e0s7> or is that just for apache or something
[16:43] <t4nk678> aman: gdb does not have a gui, so no
[16:43] <aman> t4nk678, any other options?
[16:44] <Hachya> for PHP files downloading is sounds like the host isn't reading the PHP module properly, thus the browser downloads the page....
[16:44] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: I just did a Google for your device and people do run Ubuntu on it out of the box so if you want Ubuntu just install it and if you have any issues IRC & Forums are here day and night :)
[16:44] <raptor6768> hi
[16:44] <nikk> Hachya, that seems accurate
[16:45] <t4nk678> aman: I believe eclipse has a plugin for c/c++, give that a try
[16:45] <kostik> hi all
[16:45] <aman> t4nk678, even i was thinking for the same, but some one told me that is eclipse is good for java only.
[16:45] <brickwall> I did alsa force-reload
[16:45] <brickwall> And it didn't work
[16:46] <Hachya> member:nikk: do you have a PHP info file on the serevr?
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: you have to get the plugin for c/c++
[16:46] <nikk> Hachya, ok, so apparently, after modifying php.conf, one has to clear the browser cache.
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: look for DDD
[16:46] <nikk> Hachya, it works now. thank you :D
[16:46] <Hachya> nikk: oh yeah....
[16:46] <aman> t4nk678, ok thanks buddy :)
[16:46] <Hachya> nikk: that helps :D
[16:46] <ministerdude> I'm still kind of retarded in ubuntu. How come my pics when I save them. It saves them sideways?
[16:46] <nikk> Hachya, love it when the fix is that simple ;)
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: it's a graphcial debugger for gdb
[16:46] <Hachya> nikk: almost never XD
[16:46] <bkerensa> brickwall: Very odd... I did some searching and notice people do run into issues sometimes with webcam mics but I encourage you to continue to try and get resolved
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: you're welcome, good luck
[16:47] <bkerensa> ministerdude: Are you rotating them or what?
[16:47] <ministerdude> Nope. In my email their correct but when I hit save their sideways
[16:47] <brickwall> bkerensa: It's actually not my computer. Someone asked advice on what computer to get and we went out to buy it. I then installed ubuntu on it.
[16:48] <bkerensa> brickwall: Hmm...
[16:48] <OmegaForte> brickwall, What driver in windows does it use?
[16:49] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Like the driver suite that came with the device?
[16:49] <brickwall> bkerensa: And they are going to another country tomorrow (I wiped windows)
[16:49] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Completely redid the partition table.
[16:50] <ministerdude> How do I unrotate them from the pic album?
[16:50] <OmegaForte> brickwall, So? you tend to get a driver CD with most of these things. I need to know what it runs driver wise.
[16:50] <adam__> Hi all.  Does anyone have a suggestion for an PCI-E interface sata controllre for a low cost NAS rig?
[16:51] <brickwall> OmegaForte: They don't come like that anymore :P
[16:51] <hwilde> adam__, just buy a drobo?
[16:51] <guibou> Hi. Anyone can helps me understand why the memory resident size set repported by top is totally different from the maximum resident size set reported by time on the same process ?
[16:51] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Well I still need the info so I can dig for you
[16:51] <dr_willis> !ram
[16:51] <BluesKaj> adam__, this ubuntu support not hardware
[16:52] <[THC]AcidRain> bah
[16:52] <uosiu> hi all
[16:52] <brickwall> OmegaForte: I'll take a look at acer's site.
[16:52] <[THC]AcidRain> konversion irc client is epic fail
[16:52] <hwilde> guibou, type  "free"
[16:52] <uosiu> How to declare in my custompkg.deb to force overwrite a file from other package?
[16:53] <mega1> ifconfig
[16:53] <guibou> hwilde: free only gives me the current amount for the whole system. I want to know for a given program, at the end of its run, how much max memory it tooks.
[16:53] <[THC]AcidRain> zomg
[16:54] <[THC]AcidRain> hax are upon us
[16:54] <centr0> how the hell do i turn off that loud beep everytime i restart/shutdown?
[16:54] <kostik> I think here present only english
[16:54] <guibou> dr_willis: and really, I thank you for your "You are dumb answer" ;)
[16:55] <BluesKaj> [THC]AcidRain, if it was really epic , your pc would blow up
[16:55] <[THC]AcidRain> centr0 its in sound preferences
[16:55] <hwilde> guibou,  how are you getting memory usage from time ?
[16:55] <mega1> can some help me with my networking problem
[16:55] <hwilde> !ask | mega1
[16:55] <guibou> hwilde: /usr/bin/time --format '%M'
[16:55] <[THC]AcidRain> BluesKaj, it did. this is my backup computer
[16:55] <kostik> rm -rf
[16:56] <centr0> [THC]AcidRain: is there anyway i can keep some sounds but not that beep on restart/shutdown?  all im seeing is use sounds or no sounds at all.
[16:56] <[THC]AcidRain> just in the event that konversion did blow me up
[16:56] <OmegaForte> mega1, What actually is the problem...I saw you earlier going on about an adapter being in a different location.
[16:56] <[THC]AcidRain> centr0, yeah. i have it turned off on mine. let me see how i did it. ill pm you when i find out
[16:56] <hwilde> guibou, ok and how much discrepancy are you seeing?  because top only polls every x seconds so you might miss the peak obviously
[16:56] <BluesKaj> mega1, I tried to help you , but you didn't respond to my questions about your situation
[16:56] <centr0> [THC]AcidRain: thanks.
[16:56] <epifanio> hi all
[16:56] <guibou> hwilde: top says 600 Mo, times says 2.4Go
[16:56] <BluesKaj> [THC]AcidRain, bummer :)
[16:56] <epifanio> cvan i receive support about ubuntu 11.10 here ?
[16:56] <mega1> ubuntu server10.04 HD movied from one computer to another now cant access it nor can it access the internet
[16:57] <kostik> epicfanio, whats up?
[16:57] <[THC]AcidRain> oh centr0, yeah. system > preferences > sound
[16:57] <hwilde> guibou, interesting, I am also seeing approximatley 4x difference
[16:57] <Myrtti> epifanio: try #ubuntu+1
[16:57] <hwilde> is this a bits/bytes thing?
[16:57] <[THC]AcidRain> under window > login. right click on the "default" and chose disabled
[16:57] <OmegaForte> mega1, Yeah that's because you transplated into a system with different hardware and it wasn't built on it, so now you have to build or install your drivers manually.
[16:57] <epifanio> after an apt-get update , upgrade .. it stop to works (before it was working)
[16:57] <guibou> hwilde: I don't know. The man says "bytes"
[16:58] <BluesKaj> !who | mega1
[16:58] <epifanio> .. the problem is the battery check step (i know my battery is in a bad state .. but it's really odd it doesn't allow me to boot)
[16:58] <epifanio>  it stop the boot promp at the step : check battery state
[16:58] <centr0> thanks,.
[16:58] <trism> uosiu: may want to read: http://wiki.debian.org/Adding%20and%20removing%20diversions in addition to the linked Appendix G
[16:58] <[THC]AcidRain> welcome
[16:58] <[THC]AcidRain> :)
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> epifanio: hold shift at boot and select recovery mode, then select root and install gnome-power-manager
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> epifanio: fixed it for me
[17:00] <hwilde> guibou, all of these things are probably based on   /proc/PID/status
[17:00] <epifanio> great!!!
[17:00] <epifanio> i'll do it nopw
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> epifanio: you want netroot ;)
[17:01] <nmvictor> does linux support USB 3.0 through the uhci or through xhci, I cant see xhci hub in my computer or doesn't ubuntu support usb 3.0 yet?
[17:01] <[THC]AcidRain> so many hax
[17:02] <[THC]AcidRain> gffsadf
[17:02] <nmvictor> does ubuntu support usb 3.0?
[17:03] <Pici> [THC]AcidRain: We don't need that sort of extra commentary in this already busy channel.
[17:03] <OmegaForte> nmvictor, Mine works, just don't know if I get the full speed yet.
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor: http://askubuntu.com/questions/12139/does-ubuntu-support-usb-3-0
[17:03] <brickwall> OmegaForte: It's a driver made by Conexant, called audio driver. It's version on the site is 7.41.1.0
[17:03] <[THC]AcidRain> 10-4
[17:04] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Care to send me the info you found..
[17:04] <[THC]AcidRain> Pici, im like a little high school kid in the public school system that smarts off to the teacher every so often knowing i can get away with it.
[17:04] <[THC]AcidRain> thats what i do to you. but im done for now :)
[17:04] <brickwall> OmegaForte: It's some type of AJAX thing... I can't give you the link... Except I can give you the link to the AJAX thing: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

[17:05] <boywonder> hi can anyone help me mount my network drive?
[17:05] <OmegaForte> !ask | boywonder
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> boywonder: use nautilus   file -> connect to serve
[17:06] <boywonder> Omega, i dont have smbfs of cifs, i tried to install sudo apt- get install smbfs but
[17:06] <mrmcgibby> what's the proper way to configure a system with two nics where one nic is DHCP and the connected to the internet, and the other is just a private nic with a static IP?  The system keeps trying to use the non-internet nic to get to the internet.  There are two default routes
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> !ics | mrmcgibby
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> mrmcgibby: you should just need to set the internal nic to static IP with no default gateway
[17:08] <fructose> Pardon my frustration, but how the hell do I get 11.04 to stop freezing on me every damn day? I've tried using Gnome (Classic) instead of Unity, but it still decides to entirely freeze except the mouse
[17:08] <mrmcgibby> ActionParsnip: Network Manager won't let me do that.
[17:08] <boywonder> hi can anyone help me mount my network drive?
[17:08] <nmvictor> ActionParsnip: How do I confirm I have the xhci module installed, coz I only see Universal Host Controlers listed as available logical root USB hubs
[17:08] <mrmcgibby> fructose: anything in the logs?
[17:08] <[THC]AcidRain> boywonder, pick me!
[17:08] <OmegaForte> !ask | boywonder
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> mrmcgibby: I'd use /etc/network/interfaces for the internal
[17:09] <fructose> mrmcgibby: Which log? I'll be glad to look
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor: lsmod | grep hc   should show it
[17:09] <mrmcgibby> i look at all of them
[17:09] <[THC]AcidRain> boywonder, do you want this drive to be accessible to the entire network?
[17:09] <mrmcgibby> ls -ltr to find the one most recently modified
[17:09] <boywonder> stupid ask what when someone should tell me the course?
[17:09] <nmvictor> ahci                   21591  7
[17:09] <nmvictor> libahci                25548  1 ahci
[17:09] <nmvictor> ActionParsnip: ^
[17:10] <fructose> mrmcgibby: I had to reboot, so will that still be useful?
[17:10] <iceroot> boywonder: what is it? nfs? cifs?
[17:10] <mrmcgibby> ActionParsnip: When I do that, then run route, it seems that it's still taking too long to decide what nic should be the default route
[17:10] <[THC]AcidRain> boywonder, i would format your drive to a ext3
[17:10] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Try this...http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/archive/alsa-driver-linuxant-1.0.23.1/alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.1_all.deb.zip
[17:10] <boywonder> [THC]AcidRain, format un possible
[17:10] <[THC]AcidRain> why?
[17:10] <mrmcgibby> fructose: are you sure you need to reboot?  Have you tried Ctrl-alt-f1?
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> mrmcgibby: well you probably have 2 default gateways defined which confuses things
[17:11] <boywonder> im using it on windows
[17:11] <iceroot> boywonder: format is a stupid idea, dont listen to that
[17:11] <[THC]AcidRain> oh. windows will load a ext3
[17:11] <nmvictor> ActionParsnip: that was the output of the command
[17:11] <[THC]AcidRain> linux just handles it better
[17:11] <[THC]AcidRain> iceroot, i format every new drive i get from walmart or bestbuy
[17:11] <[THC]AcidRain> as soon as i get it
[17:11] <iceroot> boywonder: you have a drive which you want to access through the network?
[17:11] <boywonder> iceroot,  i tried to install smbfs but it didnt work
[17:11] <boywonder> yes
[17:12] <fructose> mrmcgibby: I can get to console, but it's been useless. It apparently goes down to X, so restarting Unity/Gnome doesn't help
[17:12] <iceroot> boywonder: and the drive is running on windows?
[17:12] <Scunizi> I'm looking for openstreetmap in the repos and all I see are icon sets.. with perhaps a reference to "maptool".. what am I missing here?
[17:12] <boywonder> iceroot, its a network drive
[17:12] <iceroot> boywonder: ok from a storage? (nas)
[17:12] <OmegaForte> brickwall, If that doesn't do you any good, welcome to Known bug/Idea #5537
[17:13] <mrmcgibby> fructose: if you can get to a console, you can look at the logs from there
[17:13] <boywonder> iceroot, i dunno what that means i can tell you that i can access the shares in ubuntu
[17:13] <boywonder> iceroot, i need to mount it in fstab
[17:13] <iceroot> boywonder: ok and you want to permanently mount the drive?
[17:13] <iceroot> boywonder: ok
[17:13] <brickwall> One second...
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor: then you have ahci loaded
[17:14] <iceroot> boywonder: with what you access the drive from ubuntu? if you access the drive have a look at "mount" if it is nfs or cifs
[17:14] <fructose> mrmcgibby: I'm well aware that I have logs... I'm just not aware of how that helps right now. I don't know which one to look in or what to look for
[17:14] <boywonder> iceroot, ok
[17:14] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Here's proof of KNOWN BUG. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/815006
[17:14] <glebihan> Scunizi, what exactly do you need ? openstreetmap is a set of packages containing different applications
[17:14] <Zh3ka> hello evryone
[17:14] <nmvictor> When my system starts, it dims off, I have to adust brightness back to normal with the fn combination. Suspend and hibernate dont work. I am running Natty with linux-kernel 2.6.38-8-generic on Acer 5734z machine. Is this a BUG?
[17:14] <mrmcgibby> fructose: that's the point of looking at logs.  If you don't know what's wrong, you can perhaps start nailing now the issue
[17:14] <uosiu> Hi again
[17:14] <glebihan> Scunizi, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ubuntu
[17:15] <Zh3ka> 1 question - can ubuntu run windows games ?
[17:15] <uosiu> next step of my problem with file divertions
[17:15] <boywonder> iceroot, its cifs
[17:15] <mrmcgibby> yes
[17:15] <uosiu> http://wklej.org/id/572632/ this is my problem with package with file colission. divertion is activated
[17:15] <Scunizi> glebihan: I thought there was one main file for install.. I"ve got a .gpx file I'm trying to open and view the route.
[17:15] <nmvictor> ActionParsnip: does ahci module support usb 3.0 too?
[17:15] <OmegaForte> Zh3ka, Wine can, but it's hit or miss. Go to appdb.winehq.org and search.
[17:15] <iceroot> boywonder: ok, so its using also credentials?
[17:15] <iceroot> boywonder: user/password?
[17:16] <boywonder> iceroot, yes
[17:16] <glebihan> Scunizi, openstreetmap is a data format and database, and there are several applications that can use that data
[17:17] <glebihan> Scunizi, have a look at the link I gave you in order to find what package you need to install
[17:17] <[THC]AcidRain> what irc client does everyone use?
[17:17] <fructose> mrmcgibby: Again, pardon my frustration, but it's pretty useless to be simply told to look in the logs. There are many, many logs in many different locations
[17:17] <rww> [THC]AcidRain: ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots
[17:17] <Scunizi> glebihan: did.. the link was enlightening.. thanks. I also found that I can open the file in G-Earth as well.. kinda nice..
[17:18] <OmegaForte> rww, What's that off-topic flag?
[17:18] <boywonder> iceroot, i think i have the correct page todo this just it installs smbfs for some reason?
[17:18] <rww> OmegaForte: I don't understand the question. Rephrase?
[17:18] <iceroot> boywonder: //192.168.1.100/music media/Musik cifs credentials=/home/otto/.smbcredentials 0 0
[17:18] <OmegaForte> rww, The dingus that tells the bot that this isn't the off-topic channel.
[17:18] <iceroot> boywonder: that is an example for fstab
[17:18] <rww> OmegaForte: oh, factoid. !offtopic or !ot
[17:18] <llutz> Scunizi: try "viking" for displaying gpx-tracks/-waypoints etc.
[17:19] <OmegaForte> rww, Ah, thanks.
[17:19] <llutz> !info viking
[17:19] <boywonder> iceroot, so i dont need smbfs?
[17:20] <iceroot> boywonder: you need it because that is pulling mount.cifs
[17:20] <brickwall> Build failed
[17:20] <Scunizi> llutz: thanks.
[17:20] <iceroot> boywonder: the package cifs-utils is pulling the same
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: won't you need to escape the space?
[17:20] <OmegaForte> Well brickwall Welcome to bug 815006
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: ahh you missed the first slash of media, thats all
[17:20] <acidrain> bestbot lies to me
[17:20] <mrmcgibby> fructose: Do you want to solve the problem or not?  When it freezes, go into /var/log, find the most recently modified log and see if something useful was recently added.  The cause might be a number of things.  You might find nothing, you might find something.  That's the nature of troubleshooting issues.  If I knew what the problem was, then I'd tell you what log to look in, but I don't.
[17:20] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: :)
[17:21] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: yes you are right
[17:21] <brickwall> OmegaForte: If it was just a build issue why can't it be fixed?
[17:21] <iceroot> boywonder: in my example the is a / missing before "media§
[17:21] <OmegaForte> brickwall, It's a known bug. That package build is what, two years old?
[17:21] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i make nickserv send me an email notification of my password?
[17:21] <rww> [THC]AcidRain: ask #freenode
[17:22] <brickwall> Build from source?
[17:22] <[THC]AcidRain> rww is a horrible bot.
[17:22] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Yeah, the source isn't maintained or this wouldn't be an issue.
[17:22] <OmegaForte> [THC]AcidRain, Find a place.
[17:23] <brickwall> OmegaForte: So, should I build it from source?
[17:23] <OmegaForte> brickwall, You could try it.
[17:23] <h00k> [THC]AcidRain: rww is not a bot, but #freenode is the proper place to ask.
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> h00k: too funny though
[17:24] <brickwall> I can't find the source
[17:24] <iceroot> is it possible to encrypt a drive after it is also installed with ext4 and filled with data?
[17:24] <fructose> mrmcgibby: Alright. I'm just helplessly pissed that there isn't a better option.
[17:24] <iceroot> s/also/already/
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> fructose: wassup?
[17:25] <KM0201> fructose: a better option for what?
[17:25] <brickwall> OmegaForte: There is only a source RPM
[17:25] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Like I said, welcome to a known bug.
[17:25] <fructose> Getting my desktop to stop freezing on me everyd ay
[17:26] <KM0201> fructose: have you diagnosed why its freezing?.. ruled out hardware problems?
[17:26] <highness_> Is there some way to invoke a kickstart file from the live installation cd of ubuntu 10.04?
[17:27] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Is it possible to build it and then install it using alien?
[17:27] <fructose> KM0201: I don't know why it's freezing. I'm doubtful it's hardware, but have no evidence since I rarely use another OS on it
[17:27] <rww> !alien
[17:27] <fructose> KM0201: But it has never frozen in anything but 11.04
[17:27] <acehdev-dot-net> brotha how to upgrade kernel ubuntu 11.04
[17:28] <KM0201> fructose: if it's never froze on anything but 11.04, my first thought would be a problem w/ Unity oor maybe 3D drivers
[17:28] <KM0201> fructose: if you switch to gnome-2d, does this continue to be an issue?
[17:28] <fructose> KM0201: I've already switched to Gnome
[17:28] <fructose> KM0201: And even before, restarting unity wouldn't always solve it (though it did on a couple occasions)
[17:28] <brickwall> rww: Is it possible to build RPMs outside SUSE or Fedora?
[17:29] <brickwall> !apt
[17:29] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I'd just build it against make if possible. But like I'm telling you, it's a known bug. You're probably not going to be able to get much more. But don't be afraid to try stuff, but remember. If you don't take recursive backups, you may be setting up for failure.
[17:29] <KM0201> idunno, very weird
[17:29] <rww> brickwall: no idea
[17:29] <brickwall> OmegaForte: They give no .tar source file
[17:30] <mrmcgibby> fructose: so X isn't locking up?
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> fructose: tested your RAM?
[17:30] <prothon> join ##butterscrottcripple
[17:30] <fructose> KM0201: Not for me. Don't get me wrong, I've used Ubuntu since Warty, but I've had problems like this with Ubuntu with every computer I've ever owned
[17:30] <boywonder> iceroot, so if sudo apt-get install smbfs doesnt install what do i do?
[17:30] <fructose> mrmcgibby: The mouse still works, but I can't interact with anything
[17:30] <KM0201> fructose: i think if i had that many probs w/ any distro, i'd find another one.
[17:31] <lindenle> Hi all why does installing xubuntu-desktop require me to remove ubuntu-desktop?
[17:31] <fructose> KM0201: I'm stubborn I guess
[17:31] <fructose> KM0201: And I've had fewer problems with Ubuntu than some
[17:31] <OmegaForte> brickwall, That's because the source isn't maintained.
[17:32] <KM0201> fructose: i've used it since shortly before Dapper, and i very rarely have problems.
[17:32] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Is there another source?
[17:32] <mrmcgibby> fructose: yeah, X isn't crashing
[17:32] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I didn't find anything.
[17:33] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Did the company die or something?
[17:33] <OmegaForte> brickwall, If I had answers, you'd have them.
[17:33] <iceroot> boywonder: it does what you want
[17:34] <fructose> Well, actually, I think I may have solved the problem myself... now I just need help not letting it happen again...
[17:34] <brickwall> Okay... I think someone gave me the answer.
[17:34] <fructose> Somehow Sync to VBlank keeps getting turned on my Compiz settings
[17:34] <astraljava> Hey OmegaForte, brickwall, what is the problem, did I understand correctly that you have a .rpm source package, that won't build?
[17:34] <fructose> I've manually turned it off before and verified it didn't reset on reboot. How do I ensure it never changes again?
[17:34] <boywonder> iceroot, nothin does what i want lol, help~:?
[17:34] <OmegaForte> astraljava, No, he's trying to get an older, compatible alsa package to work with a device that doesn't have support niow.
[17:35] <iceroot> boywonder: the command "sudo apt-get install smbfs" is not working or what do you mean?
[17:35] <guest-fPtt7c> where can i ask about oneiric?
[17:36] <boywonder> iceroot, im going to try that command again, or should i use synaptic to install it>
[17:36] <iceroot> guest-fPtt7c: #ubuntu+1
[17:36] <boywonder> ?
[17:36] <iceroot> boywonder: you can also use synaptic but apt-get is much better for support in this channel because of the messages it is generating
[17:36] <astraljava> OmegaForte: Uh oh...
[17:37] <boywonder> iceroot, im going to apt-get again and look at whats going on
[17:37] <guest-fPtt7c> iceroot, thanks
[17:37] <VIPuser> How are you today? =D
[17:38] <VIPuser> ????????????????????????????????
[17:38] <astraljava> brickwall: Well, if you can pastebin the build issues, maybe those could be resolved in a chroot of an earlier release or something, but yeah, finding the correct dependencies might be a b*tch.
[17:38] <tainted> what is the best way to get access to a natted ubuntu box?
[17:38] <oCean> VIPuser: this is ubuntu support, do you have a support question?
[17:38] <iceroot> tainted: natted?
[17:38] <OmegaForte> astraljava, He has a device that falls under 815006, and I've been trying to figure out a way to get him running.
[17:38] <tainted> a box that's behind a NAT
[17:39] <brickwall> checkinstall could work?
[17:39] <VIPuser> Yeah.
[17:39] <h00k> tainted: probably ssh/port forwarding?
[17:39] <iceroot> tainted: open the ports
[17:39] <VIPuser> I'm bulgarian =D
[17:39] <mega1> ubuntu server10.04 HD movied from one computer to another now cant access it nor can it access the internet
[17:39] <tainted> is there any ubuntu/linux equivalent of hamachi
[17:39] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Checkinstall is for freshly compiled code from a source package, and that'll build a .DEB that can be used.
[17:39] <OmegaForte> tainted, Google.ca
[17:39] <tainted> google.ca?
[17:39] <VIPuser> Are there any bulgarian?
[17:40] <Pici> !google | OmegaForte
[17:40] <OmegaForte> tainted, You could google that, or you could even go to their website.
[17:40] <mega1> how do i view a usb drive
[17:40] <VIPuser> Ïôôôôôôôôôôôôôôô.
[17:40] <oCean> VIPuser: this is not a social chat channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[17:40] <oCean> !bg | VIPuser
[17:40] <tainted> ice799 is there something that could hold the ports open?
[17:40] <OmegaForte> Pici, He had to find this, so that means he can search. If he can't search "Hamachi for ubuntu" or just go to their website and download the .deb package, then why is he even running linux?
[17:40] <brickwall> OmegaForte: (You can see why my nick is brickwall :D) You can build from the .src.rpm?
[17:40] <VIPuser> !bg
[17:41] <tainted> ice chat is there something that could hold the port open?
[17:41] <VIPuser> Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:41] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I don't know. Red hat was ten years ago.
[17:41] <h00k> VIPuser: /join #ubuntu-bg
[17:41] <oCean> VIPuser: help with what?
[17:41] <brickwall> OmegaForte: It seems that you can.
[17:42] <Pici> OmegaForte: It doesn't matter. We don't suggest google as an answer here unless its a last resort.
[17:42] <VIPuser> There are three guys
[17:42] <intrader> Anyone, upon using Startup Disk Creator I get 'Installation Failed' - An uncaught exception was raised [Errno 5] Input/output error. What is going on?
[17:42] <VIPuser> THAT IS FUCKING
[17:42] <oCean> VIPuser: stop that
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> intrader: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[17:43] <iceroot> tainted: the router which is providing nat
[17:44] <iceroot> tainted: just create a port-forwarding rule. no need for hamachi on that case
[17:44] <boywonder> iceroot, i know this is silly but i think i just downloaded it before and not installed it(its now installed) do i have to install cifs?
[17:44] <iceroot> tainted: also you can write the nick-names out with tab-auto-colpetion
[17:44] <iceroot> boywonder: no, if smbfs is already installed everthing is fine
[17:44] <astraljava> brickwall: So is it that you have a .src.rpm package of some code that you want installed?
[17:45] <intrader> ActionParsnip, no, I am doing it from download image.
[17:45] <boywonder> iceroot, so now i have to gedit  .smbcredentials
[17:45] <brickwall> astraljava: Yes, it is.
[17:46] <H-DEE> Hi. I want to know if there's a method to change directory permissions from "root" to..say "www-data", being logged in as root. chroot throws up the error "chroot: cannot change root directory to www-data: No such file or directory". Any suggestions?
[17:46] <astraljava> brickwall: Have you tried to use alien on it, I'm not an experienced user but there seems to be a -g option that generates a build tree without actually rollingn any packages. So you could then use that tree for building purposes.
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> intrader: ok, then I suggest you try using your own image. Be sure to MD5 test it
[17:47] <intrader> ActionParsnip, should I download first. I want to be able to boot the 11.04 from the USB.
[17:48] <brickwall> astraljava: Installing alien...
[17:48] <kyle_> hey guys, so if I do man epoll its giving me epoll(7) ... how can I tell it to show me epoll(4)?
[17:49] <glebihan> kyle_, man -s 4 epoll
[17:49] <kyle_> -s, thanks man
[17:49] <kyle_> (I looked at man man but didnt see it :( )
[17:50] <Pici> kyle_, glebihan: you shouldn't need the -s there
[17:51] <glebihan> Pici, oh you're right didn't know that
[17:51] <brickwall> astraljava: I've got the tree, now how to I make the deb?
[17:51] <Polah> Is it possible to install wxPython2.6 in Natty?
[17:52] <astraljava> brickwall: That's a source package, you don't want to make a .deb out of that, but you need to build the apps from the sources it provided.
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> intrader: download the ISO from www.ubuntu.com
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | intrader
[17:53] <glebihan> Polah, yes
[17:53] <Pici> Polah: the python-wxgtk2.6 package seems to be what you' want.
[17:54] <mega1> how do i look at files on usb drive
[17:54] <boywonder> iceroot, ive got somthing wrong it says mount point cifs doesnt exist, heres my line, //78.44.89.154/serveone/home/chris/networkdrive cifs credentials=/home/chris/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[17:55] <intrader> ActionParsnip, I have downloaded it - now I want to create a usb, the page only gives instructions for doing it on windows. That is weird!
[17:55] <seanmc98> hello all. I am dualbooting ubuntu 11.04 and windows vista using gnome and have a recovery partion and when i try to boot into the recovery partion it wont allow me to restore. how do i get it so i can restore my windows partion?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> intrader: unetbootin is available in software centre
[17:55] <asteve> how can i install a package but not one of the it's dependencies?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> intrader: there is also usb-creator
[17:56] <felipe_Brz> I downloaded an SDK folder. There's a .exe file in there. Are .exe files only for windows or can I run them on ubuntu too?
[17:56] <wols> seanmc98: can you eslect the recovery partition to boot?
[17:56] <aauthor> When one starts ubuntu in classic (no effects) does ubuntu use metacity instead of compiz?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> aauthor: yes
[17:56] <wols> felipe_Brz: an SDK folder for what?
[17:56] <seanmc98> yes i can wols but it wont let me click restore windows
[17:56] <intrader> ActionParsnip, my mistake, I chose the wrong radio button. How do I use usb-creator?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> intrader: run:  gksudo usb-creator-gtk
[17:56] <seanmc98> the only thing i can click is exit
[17:57] <centr0> extracting a .tgz file: is it tar -xzvf?
[17:57] <wols> seanmc98: we cannot help you with that. it's not ubuntu software. we cannot support some random closed source product
[17:57] <felipe_Brz> wols: it's Adobe Flex SDK. There are some .jar files, one .bat, one .exe and one extensionless.
[17:57] <wols> centr0: yes
[17:57] <centr0> wols: ty
[17:57] <aauthor> Thanks ActionParsnip, do you know if there's a gui for changing the options of metacity?
[17:57] <wols> felipe_Brz: lyou can try wine. but we don't know if it actually works
[17:57] <boywonder> iceroot, ??
[17:57] <Pici> asteve: Theres a reason that they're called dependencies.
[17:57] <seanmc98> wols what do you mean? the problem i am running into is when i installed ubuntu and gnome started running
[17:57] <Pici> boywonder: You need to provide a mountpoint after the share name.
[17:58] <felipe_Brz> wols: ok thanks
[17:58] <seanmc98> thats when i was no longer to restore from my partion
[17:58] <SmkMnstr> when i highlight in gnome xterm i have to rightclick copy
[17:58] <asteve> Pici: i have installed the package required from source
[17:58] <SmkMnstr> how do i make it auto copy highlighted?
[17:58] <SmkMnstr> ahh gnome-terminal actaully i think
[17:58] <iceroot> boywonder: 78.44.x.x sounds like an ip adresse from the internet not from your lan
[17:58] <iceroot> boywonder: cifs is not working of the internet
[17:58] <wols> seanmc98: so delete ubuntu from disk. format the filesystem of ubuntu with ntfs again. that's all we can tell you. again: we don't know about some random software for windows. we cannot know
[17:59] <wols> iceroot: it does. you'd be stupid if you made it work on the internet, but it does work just fine
[17:59] <SmkMnstr> oh nevermind
[17:59] <SmkMnstr> thers _2_ clipboarsd
[17:59] <SmkMnstr> one for middle mouse paste :)
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> aauthor: gconf-editor
[18:00] <iceroot> wols: not really because you cant use wins over the internet. maybe cifs is working but not the real samba-deal
[18:00] <ruiserra> Hi, The folder /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty in my ubuntu 10.04! What is the problem?
[18:00] <iceroot> wols: and all the other strange things in a windows-network (netbios and so on)
[18:00] <Pici> asteve: You'd need to to dpkg that you've already installed it. The most common way is to use check-install and use a version number higher than the one in the repos.
[18:00] <wols> iceroot: WINS is not cifs
[18:00] <share> guise
[18:00] <wols> iceroot: there is no netbios anymore for years. decades probably
[18:00] <boywonder> iceroot, its a static ip
[18:01] <jgcampbell300> hi
[18:01] <iceroot> wols: i know wins is not cifs
[18:02] <wols> iceroot: you said cifs doesn't work over the internet and supplied WINS as why not. *shrug*
[18:02] <boywonder> forget that
[18:02] <iceroot> wols: i said the real samba-deal is not working over the internet
[18:02] <iceroot> wols: ntlm, wins and so one.
[18:03] <iceroot> wols: but cifs is unecrypted isnt it?
[18:03] <boywonder> iceroot, wheres my problem?
[18:03] <jgcampbell300> So ... if i change to a directory on a drive like cd /media/drive1/dir/subdir/ and enter "sudo rm -R *.jpg" will it delete all of the jpg's under all the directories from /subdir/ down ?
[18:03] <Pici> boywonder: I told you what the problem is already.  You didn't specify a mountpoint.
[18:04] <boywonder> iceroot, sorry i didnt read that,
[18:04] <iceroot> boywonder: the first problem is that the ip cant be reached
[18:04] <iceroot> boywonder: ping 78.44.89.154
[18:04] <Pici> jgcampbell300: no. it won't. You'd need to do something like: find /media/drive1/dir/subdir/ -iname "*.jpg" -delete
[18:04] <m4v> Ubuntu doesn't allow to install an older version if there's a newer installation in place?
[18:04] <gremlin> are there any server admins online at the mo
[18:04] <boywonder> iceroot, i can share from that address on my box
[18:04] <mega1> how do i access files on my usb drive
[18:05] <iceroot> boywonder: do you want to access a share over the internet? or in your lan?
[18:05] <Pici> jgcampbell300: use -print instead of -delete to ensure that its getting the right files though
[18:05] <gremlin> would love a little help with dhcp
[18:05] <iceroot> boywonder: where is the storage?
[18:05] <iceroot> !ask | gremlin
[18:05] <gremlin> a little guidence will go a long way
[18:05] <jgcampbell300> Pici, nice ...thanks
[18:05] <gremlin> well there many questions
[18:05] <boywonder> iceroot, on my lan but it has a static ip
[18:06] <gremlin> how would one make private chat so i can post my .config and all else that goes with it
[18:06] <gremlin> soz im nub to irc
[18:06] <Pici> !paste | gremlin
[18:06] <iceroot> boywonder: that is not a lan-ip
[18:06] <gremlin> lol
[18:06] <iceroot> boywonder: 1. use the lan-ip
[18:06] <gremlin> soz
[18:06] <Pici> gremlin: no need to apoligize
[18:07] <ruiserra> Hi, The folder /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty in my ubuntu 10.04! What is the problem?
[18:07] <boywonder> iceroot, this is cgoing to get a bit wild for me, i dont have dhcp
[18:07] <rossie> hello all
[18:07] <iceroot> boywonder: what does dhcp has to do with that?
[18:07] <gremlin> so ill be back once ive read up
[18:07] <boywonder> i have no internal ips
[18:07] <iceroot> boywonder: why?
[18:07] <rossie> i have installed 11.04 and i am not able to connect to the AES enabled wifi at my college. what to do?
[18:07] <iceroot> boywonder: just set some internal ips
[18:08] <boywonder> because i havnt got round to setting them up and i dont know how
[18:08] <boywonder> iceroot, i think that involves setting up my router from without a page
[18:08] <share> what does this mean? "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST"
[18:09] <boywonder> iceroot,  i did actually change that ip i gave you for safety
[18:09] <iceroot> boywonder: you can change wan-ips?
[18:10] <iceroot> boywonder: or do you mean just disconnect to get a new one?
[18:10] <Pici> iceroot: I think he means he typoed it so we wouldn't have his reall address for some reason
[18:10] <iceroot> Pici: ok
[18:10] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659458/  theres  first link if all is done right
[18:10] <boywonder> iceroot, whatever that meant, im not savy to altering ips
[18:10] <Pici> boywonder: It doesn't make any sense that the computers inside your network all have the same IPs.
[18:11] <boywonder> they dont
[18:11] <iceroot> boywonder: you should first setup a lan (local area network)
[18:11] <iceroot> boywonder: and one ip is connected to the internet. your router will have 2 ips, the internet and a lan ip
[18:12] <auronandace> share: man ifconfig and man iwconfig would be a good place to learn
[18:12] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659461/ hers the .conf for dhcp 3 well mine lol
[18:12] <gremlin> here
[18:12] <boywonder> iceroot, firstly i get confused with this because theres no settings inside the router to change anything from a screen,each device has its own static ip
[18:13] <iceroot> boywonder: the router should have dhcp. the easiest way to create a network
[18:13] <boywonder> dhcp is off
[18:13] <Pici> iceroot: maybe the typoed address is a public one?
[18:13] <iceroot> Pici: it is but he said its a machine inside the lan
[18:13] <share> auronandace: sudo ifconfig eth0 -multicast
[18:13] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659462/ third
[18:13] <gremlin> one
[18:14] <share> auronandace: but how can I disable it automatically
[18:14] <gremlin> well when i try start i get errors
[18:14] <boywonder> was you refering to the 44 in the ip?
[18:14] <gremlin> i tink its my syntax
[18:14] <iceroot> Pici: so i guess he is using the public ip and because of the nat he cant access the storage in the lan
[18:14] <gremlin> lol
[18:14] <intrader> ActionParsnip, the usb-creator-gtk does not show source of the download. I am doing it with 'Startup Disk Creator' successfully. Now I will try boot
[18:14] <boywonder> iceroot,  i have nat
[18:14] <iceroot> boywonder: can you post the ip-adress of your ubuntu-client?
[18:14] <Pici> gremlin: Its a lot easier for us if you ask your question with as much detail as you can all on one line.
[18:15] <iceroot> boywonder: or maybe the whole output of "ifconfig"
[18:15] <auronandace> share: i'm not sure sorry, there is likely a config file you can edit
[18:15] <iceroot> !paste | boywonder
[18:15] <Pici> gremlin: And the errors that you are getting as well.
[18:15] <gremlin> ok cld you pls checl my paste as to see if there are any obvious mistakes
[18:15] <gremlin> kk
[18:16] <share> auronandace: im getting this messages in wireshark 192.168.X.X 224.0.0.1IGMPV3 Membership Query, general
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> intrader: you may need to navigate the folders in usb-creator
[18:16] <iceroot> boywonder: that is the wrong setup
[18:16] <mega1> ubuntu
[18:16] <iceroot> boywonder: you are using public ips in your lan
[18:16] <auronandace> share: i've never used wireshark
[18:16] <intrader> ActionParsnip, ah, thanks
[18:16] <funky> hi
[18:16] <share> auronandace: try it it out ;)
[18:17] <share> good to monitor you internetz
[18:17] <boywonder> iceroot i have no idea how to change this?
[18:17] <iceroot> boywonder: the easiest way is to enable "dhcp" in your router
[18:17] <iceroot> boywonder: on the clients you also choose dhcp
[18:17] <auronandace> share: i don't need to analyse my network traffic
[18:17] <iceroot> boywonder: which is the ubuntu-default
[18:18] <boywonder> iceroot, but then my server ip will change~?
[18:18] <share> auronandace: ok
[18:18] <iceroot> boywonder: all ips inside your lan will change to correct ips, the public ip wont change
[18:18] <iceroot> boywonder: at the moment you are using a wrong network in your lan

[18:19] <Rickyboy107> Does someone know if natty works on a Packard Bell Easynote TK37?
[18:19] <tazzer> hey so far i have been using ubuntu natty with the wubi installer. i have been using this like i would any other computer for some time now and i think it is about time to partition my hard drive. I was wondering if not only could i keep all of my files with the new install but mabye if i could allso have all of my programs whith it
[18:19] <mankeletor> hi all, i can't set the max resolution of my new lg flatron screen
[18:19] <boywonder> iceroot, im agreeing
[18:19] <mankeletor> :(
[18:19] <iceroot> boywonder: can you paste the outout of "sudo dhclient eth0"
[18:19] <olivitho> Buenas tardess
[18:20] <funky> is there any repository for ubuntu whith eclipse indigo in it?
[18:21] <Rickyboy107> Does someone know why natty doesnt like an Intel GMA 4500M video card?
[18:21] <escott> tazzer, with a bit of work yes. you need shrink the partition to make space for a new one. then do the install at which point you should be able to loop mount the wubi image and copy your files off it
[18:21] <Pici> funky: You can look yourself here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[18:21] <escott> tazzer, if you aren't comfortable with doing a loop mount you might just want to backup to a different disk
[18:22] <funky> Pici: thanks
[18:22] <tazzer> haha thanks sounds like a little bit of work but i will look into it. . .wow they weren't kidding when they said ubuntu has a good community
[18:23] <mankeletor> hi all, i can't set the max resolution of my new lg flatron screen :(
[18:23] <Guest35733> tazzer: we're not all good. some of us wear jackets and carry chains around with us
[18:24] <ivansalvadori> hi everyone
[18:24] <tazzer> ummm ok. . .?
[18:24] <escott> mankeletor, does xrandr not list the mode you want?
[18:24] <Rickyboy107> anyone?
[18:24] <escott> Rickyboy107, what do you mean by "does not like"
[18:24] <Rickyboy107> Booting with total blackscreen and doing nothing alse
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> tried to google it but nothing that might solve it
[18:25] <ChristopherNG> is it possible to triple boot with windows, ubuntu and another linux distro using a persistent live usb?
[18:25] <recon69_lap> hi, just want to ask if anyone has skype working on 10.04 LTS, and if so what version, cause mine stopped working
[18:25] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: did you install from the repository?
[18:25] <escott> Rickyboy107, do you get the plymouth screen (ubuntu logo five dots below it)
[18:25] <ivansalvadori> my skype works fine
[18:25] <FroyoShark> same here
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> uhm
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> yes
[18:25] <mankeletor> escott, nope, it doesn't
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> and after that the screen goes black
[18:25] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: cant remember, let me check
[18:25] <KE1HA> Rickyboy107: Have a read though this, may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582
[18:26] <Rickyboy107> KE1HA that are things that you need to do in Ubuntu
[18:26] <KE1HA> Although it say 9.04, I've seen several threads using it to resolve similar blackscreen issues.
[18:26] <Rickyboy107> i cant see my interface
[18:26] <escott> mankeletor, you can try to forcefully add the mode with xrandr but modern monitors should report all possible modes with edid. you can check your xorg.conf to see what the monitor reported its capabilities as
[18:26] <Rickyboy107> or onything alse
[18:26] <RA_drc> how can i see how much free space i have availalbe?
[18:26] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: the packet manager says it's installed
[18:27] <escott> RA_drc, disk utility or command line df -h
[18:27] <seanmc98> whats the screen called where it loads the different OS on the different partions/
[18:27] <KE1HA> I also used parts of it to solve my D400 graphics issues. I'll look around some more for ya.
[18:27] <Pici> seanmc98: GRUB
[18:27] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: "sudo apt-get update"
[18:27] <escott> mankeletor, make sure you are using a digital cable (dvi, hdmi or display port) and not a vga cable
[18:28] <escott> Rickyboy107, can you ctrl-alt-f1 over to tty1
[18:28] <Rickyboy107> mhhm i will have to burn the iso
[18:28] <tazzer> sorry to be a pest but if you could point me to a link that shows how to loop mount the wubi image or back everything up to a disk
[18:28] <mankeletor> escott, nope.. im using just the classic vga connector
[18:29] <RA_drc> and how can i see all of the computers connected to my network
[18:29] <RA_drc> (and their ip addresses)
[18:29] <escott> mankeletor, that could be the source of your problems
[18:29] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: system is uptodate,  version 2.2.0.35-0lucid1
[18:30] <Rickyboy107> what i do know is when natty came out i had those problems
[18:30] <Rickyboy107> after that i had more distro's
[18:30] <Rickyboy107> and then got back to windows
[18:30] <Pici> !enter
[18:30] <KE1HA> Rickyboy107: Here's a Blackscreen troubleshing guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: nmap can sniff the subnet for systems
[18:31] <RA_drc> ActionParsnip: thanks
[18:31] <RA_drc> escott: thanks
[18:31] <mainrain> can anyone suggest a very simple program for taking an image and adding an arrow/some text?  soemthing like http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/ but for linux?
[18:31] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: do you have skype working on you system
[18:31] <RA_drc> if i want to delete a folder, can i use rm -rf folder/ ?
[18:31] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: let me install it
[18:31] <mainrain> preferably something with this task in mind, so it takes 10s to throw an arrow and some text onto a screenshots, instead of the 3 minutes it takes me in gimp
[18:31] <Pici> RA_drc: you can, but remember there is no undelete.
[18:31] <boywonder> iceroot, i got disconed
[18:31] <gremlin> ok ok sorry for nubbage but here we go
[18:32] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659471/
[18:32] <RA_drc> Pici: can i safely break (ctrl-c) in the middle of rm?
[18:32] <seanmc98> how do i uninstall grub2 and ubuntu 11.04/
[18:32] <gremlin> sweet :)
[18:32] <Pici> RA_drc: you can, but I wouldn't count on that as a failsafe.
[18:32] <gremlin> brb
[18:32] <boywonder> iceroot, please explain to me what i gotta do?
[18:32] <escott> RA_drc, you can ctrl-c but you still lose stuff. it works as a depth first removal
[18:32] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: It works fine use the software center
[18:33] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: remove it and reinstall it, you wont loose your contacts they are stored by skype servers.
[18:33] <RA_drc> escott: what i mean is, can i break without worrying about the hardware being damaged or the filesystem being negatively impacted
[18:33] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: thx, i'll try remove it and do a fresh install, big help to know that the thing works before trying to fix it ;0
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: you can boot to livecd and install it. If you are using ubuntu right now then it is installed
[18:34] <mankeletor> escott, abtolutely agree with you.. winxp nvidia drivers works fine on that OS
[18:34] <escott> RA_drc, no risk of that
[18:34] <RA_drc> also, is there a way to view the progress of the deletion
[18:34] <mankeletor> escott, in this PC
[18:34] <seanmc98> ActionParsnip, i want to remove grub2 and ubuntu so i can use the recovery partion acer set up on this laptop to resore windows
[18:34] <Rickyboy107> I dont understand it KE1AH
[18:34] <escott> mankeletor, the linux drivers are just being more conservative about the hardware capabilities. you can try to force the mode with xrandr, just be careful
[18:34] <seanmc98> grub wont allow me to use the recovery partion
[18:34] <Pici> RA_drc: you can add -v to have it show what files it's touching,.
[18:35] <boywonder> iceroot, ??
[18:35] <genii-around> RA_drc: If you didn't use -v  you can open a second console and ls the dir contents you are wiping
[18:35] <KM0201> seanmc98: do you still have access to windows?
[18:35] <riot_> excuse me, could anyone tell me, how to install the 64 bit flashplayer vers.?
[18:35] <seanmc98> yes. KM0201
[18:35] <KM0201> !flash64 > riot_
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: if you delete the ubuntu partitions it should make the recovery partition work
[18:36] <mankeletor> escott, can you give me the args for set to 1920x1080@60 using xrandr?
[18:36] <KM0201> seanmc98: boot windows,google "Easus partition tool" (or something like that.. it has a very easy tool to restore a windows mbr.
[18:36] <escott> riot_, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
[18:36] <KM0201> i've used the free one pretty extensively
[18:36] <seanmc98> ActionParsnip, so download gparted.iso and burn it to a cd boot from that and remove ubuntu?
[18:37] <seanmc98> KM0201, will that remove grub too?
[18:37] <riot_> escott. thats all, so i get the 64bit one?
[18:37] <FallOfSocrates> CAn anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here?  I have a sed call "sed -i 's:function (.*?)\((.*?)\)(\n(    |)\{|\{):test:g' Debug.php.bak", it tells me I have an unmatched \{.  I should have an unmatched \{ because it has been escaped.
[18:37] <KM0201> seanmc98: yes, it will rewrite the mbr (assuming that is where grub is).. and you will boot straight through to Windows
[18:37] <escott> mankeletor, im afraid i don't know what the command line would look like other than to refer you to man pages or google
[18:37] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: thx, simple reinstall fixed it
[18:37] <KM0201> seanmc98: where did you put grub when you installed Ubuntu?
[18:38] <escott> riot_, after doing that just run a normal upgrade it should see the ppa version
[18:38] <seanmc98> on the HDD i believe
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: why bother, the ubuntu livecd has gparted on it...
[18:38] <KE1HA> Rickyboy107: see PM
[18:38] <rww> FallOfSocrates: silly though it sounds, \{ is the special character and { is the normal test string on at least some regex variations. Try replacing the \{ with {
[18:38] <seanmc98> ahh thats true
[18:38] <boywonder> iceroot you gonna help
[18:38] <KM0201> seanmc98: i know that, but did you put it on /boot, did yo put it on the mbr of the drive.
[18:38] <boywonder> ?
[18:38] <RA_drc_> genii-around: Pici thanks
[18:38] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: gparted is not going to clear the mbr.
[18:39] <FallOfSocrates> rww:  Okay, I'll give it a shot.  Be right back.
[18:39] <mankeletor> escott, i dind't found to much usefull information searhing in google
[18:40] <seanmc98> KM0201, im not sure i followed the install from the live CD all i changed is the partion on where to set it
[18:40] <FrozenFire> Is it possible to set up a group, or even just individual user permissions, such that a particular user has complete file access to everything in /home, but not the rest of the system?
[18:40] <KM0201> seanmc98: do you have a /boot partition?
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: i believe there is a CD to boot to kick off the recovery. Possible that the CD expected the recovery partition to be a certain number or somesuch.
[18:40] <seanmc98> honestly i have no clue man
[18:40] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: hmm.
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Restore partitions are annoying
[18:41] <escott> FrozenFire, not really. the other uses of the system could chown their own folders to a different group
[18:41] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: i agree...
[18:41] <edbian> ActionParsnip: i agree...
[18:41] <gremlin> just ponering but has any taken a look at my paste it has all the details for first diagnosis
[18:41] <KM0201> !pastebin | seanmc98 pastebin the results of "sudo fdisk -l" (thats a lowercase L) and gimme the link
[18:41] <JJiilles> how do I open my home folder as root?
[18:41] <JJiilles> sudo xxx ??
[18:42] <escott> JJiilles, why do you want to do that
[18:42] <JJiilles> escott:  vim plugins
[18:42] <nippynell> just installed ubuntu on my ums netbook , how do i get the standard menu
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> JJiilles: gksudo nautilus   but your user has full rights over its own $HOME
[18:42] <escott> JJiilles, are you trying to install a vim plugin to /usr/share for all users?
[18:43] <seanmc98> KM0201, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659475/
[18:43] <escott> JJiilles, i would caution you against running nautilus under sudo because it would be easy to confuse your nautilus with roots nautilus
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> nippynell: log off and change session to ubuntu classic
[18:43] <nippynell> thanks
[18:43] <KM0201> seanmc98: are you using wubi?
[18:43] <seanmc98> no
[18:43] <escott> JJiilles, you wouldn't want to find that the window you thought you closed stayed open and accidently send your entire system to the recycle bin
[18:43] <KM0201> cuz that shows your NTFS partition as "boot"..
[18:44] <JJiilles> I just want to install plugins for vim gehe, and also there's just one user, + im new to linux... as you guys might have figured
[18:44] <seanmc98> i dualboot with wondows
[18:44] <seanmc98> and i have a recovery partion other than that thats it
[18:44] <KM0201> seanmc98: im not really sure what the answer is to be truthful.
[18:44] <escott> JJiilles, you should just be able to put those plugins in your .vim folder
[18:44] <seanmc98> KM0201, PM?
[18:45] <escott> JJiilles, you don't need root anything
[18:45] <yellabs-r2> hello all
[18:45] <FallOfSocrates> rww:  "sed -i 's:function (.*?)\((.*?)\)(\n(    |){|{):test:g' Debug.php.bak"  should match "function thisIsNotAFunction($var){", yes?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> JJiilles: you can add them to your own users vim folder. No need for higher access
[18:45] <yellabs-r2> is there an fix for the messed up right klick of the gnome trash on the menu below on the right ?
[18:46] <mega1> i am trying to look at a file that is on my usb drive how do i do that
[18:46] <yellabs-r2> dont know how to describe it ...
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> mega1: use nautilus
[18:46] <escott> mega1, plug it in. open your nautilus/home folder. you should see the usb listed on the left hand section
[18:47] <mega1> nautilus
[18:47] <gremlin> can one change channels from here to a more suited one
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: nautilus is the app which runs when you use the places icon
[18:48] <mega1> this is server 10.04
[18:48] <seanmc98> KM0201, check your PM please
[18:48] <auronandace> gremlin: /join #nameofchannel
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> gremlin: absolutely
[18:48] <gremlin> ty
[18:48] <gremlin> lol
[18:48] <escott> mega1, then manually mount the usb disk (mount /media/usbdisk /dev/sdX#) and cd /media/usbdisk
[18:49] <gremlin> so for dhcp troubleshooting any channel suggestions :)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: you may have to mount it yourself. Maybe other can advise
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: escott: its device then mountpoint ;)
[18:50] <gremlin> hey all you wonderful linux foondies
[18:50] <edbian> gremlin: hello
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: the mountpoint is a folder and it must exist
[18:51] <gremlin> hey
[18:51] <rww> FallOfSocrates: no, there's a newline in the regex that isn't in the string, at least. If you're still having issues matching, you might need to do the same with \( and ( (and the close-parens), btw.
[18:51] <wols> gremlin: #networking. or ask here
[18:51] <gremlin> ty
[18:51] <gremlin> so check my paste lol
[18:51] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659471/
[18:53] <silvering> hi folks, i upgraded to 11.04 from 9.10 (dont ask) and my mic is not working anymore
[18:54] <Bluetegu> Hi there. LibreOffice writer freezes my ubuntu 11.04. Can't do anything except hard reset. Anyone knows what's the solution?
[18:54] <mega1> its not mounting
[18:55] <escott> silvering, there are lots of things to check. start with alsamixer and turn the gain up the db boost
[18:55] <FrozenFire> escott, They're all my users. I just put different services in different users on my home system for security purposes. I just want to be able to perform tasks on the various service data without having to log into each user.
[18:55] <escott> Bluetegu, you can't even switch to tty1? ctrl-alt-f1
[18:55] <Bluetegu> escott, no, nothing. cntrl-alt-f1 or anything similar doesn't work.
[18:56] <escott> FrozenFire, then sure just make sure they are all part of the same group, and make sure that is there default group
[18:56] <FrozenFire> I suppose I could add my main user to the group of each of the service users.
[18:56] <wols> gremlin: you opened several curly braces (for each error message), but never ever closed them
[18:56] <RenaKunisaki> anyone know why usb-creator-gtk won't enable the "make startup disk" button?
[18:56] <RA_drc> airtonix: i got fusion-icon installed, thanks
[18:56] <astraljava> gremlin: Closing }s for ntp-servers, domain-name-servers and netbios-name-servers?
[18:57] <wols> FrozenFire: then use root (sudo) for doing stuff to them
[18:57] <FallOfSocrates> rww:  Unfortunately, it's still now working.

[18:57] <ChristopherNG> the new 11.1 release will not have any fallback gnome?
[18:57] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: Either you haven't specified a working .iso, or the target device cannot be used. imagebin a screenshot?
[18:57] <Bluetegu> ubottu, thanks, looking
[18:58] <escott> Bluetegu, not sure why libreoffice would be causing problems. most likely it is a video driver issue. try disabling the effects/using unity-2d
[18:58] <Success> nonono i need ubuntu classic mode like 11.04 has in 11.11
[18:58] <Success> i LOVE it
[18:58] <Success> it makes it so much better
[18:58] <Success> coming from mac windows whoever
[18:58] <trism> ChristopherNG: there will be a gnome-session-fallback in the 11.10 repos, just not installed by default (the default fallback is unity-2d), further discussion in #ubuntu+1
[18:58] <Success> it makes transition better, you can make it look however you want its like the best feature
[18:58] <RenaKunisaki> astraljava, http://imgh.us/Screenshot_-_11-08-05_-_12:58:40_PM.png
[18:59] <RenaKunisaki> I have to specify ISO on the command line or it won't do anything when I select the file either
[18:59] <Success> what do you mean by fallback
[18:59] <Bluetegu> escott, I saw this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1814190 but there isn't any solution at end...
[18:59] <Success> oh and default file manager on 11.04 is broke
[18:59] <Success> i have to use dolphin
[18:59] <escott> Success, its gnome 3 internals but minus the effects and the shell. similar to a standard gnome 2 panel
[18:59] <E00e> Hello, I want to change the the new line characer of the standard ubuntu telnet command. When I hit enter it sends \r \n (carriage return and new line), but I need it to only send \n . Can someone help me with that?
[19:00] <Success> so on 11.10 there will still be the session option to load into classic with the panels u can customize and move around and stuff right?
[19:00] <silvering> escott: i need it just for skype, and in skype options all the available options is just PulseAudio, i installed pulse audio volume control and in input devices i got many many devices.. input 1,2, line-in, microphone 1,2.. all of them are analog, my audio device is built in in the mobo
[19:00] <Success> im not upgrading if there isnt
[19:00] <dr_willis> Success,  there is no0 gnome-classic in 11.10
[19:00] <Success> even a third party one?
[19:01] <Success> i want to upgrade but i cant with out it
[19:01] <dr_willis> Success,  classic gnome is dieing/dead/getting phased out. so just deal with it. :)

[19:01] <auronandace> !11.10 | Success
[19:01] <dr_willis> Success,  you dont want to be using 11.10 at this time anyway. its in alpha testing

[19:02] <ImTheR00t> so i can put my ubuntu in balence
[19:03] <ImTheR00t> like in windows?
[19:03] <escott> silvering, there are a lot of things to debug, i would recommend starting at the top and working your way down. make sure that pulse is selecting the right audio input source, then make sure that the decibel gain is maxed out in alsamixer for that input. finally if you are still having problems and you have hda sound you can use hda_analyzer (see the alsa page on debugging hda sound). but without seeing how things are configured its hard
[19:03] <escott>  to say what is wrong
[19:03] <ImTheR00t> is getting to high temperature :S
[19:04] <Success> who is natty wharhol anyways?
[19:04] <silvering> escott: its not hda.. jesus, im not going to upgrade this thing never again
[19:04] <ImTheR00t> can someone help me?
[19:04] <ruiserra> Hello, The folder /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty
[19:04] <dr_willis> ImTheR00t,  i think NO ONE in here has a clue what you just asked..

[19:09] <skraps> escott: thats going in my notes
[19:09] <escott> ImTheR00t, do the same for your other processors
[19:09] <Guest51198> while true: print "YAY"
[19:09] <edbian> Guest51198: YAY
[19:09] <auronandace> KE1HA: did you first select your username?
[19:10] <Guest51198> for (var i=1; i==0;i++){alert('PLUS');}
[19:10] <KE1HA> It's not my box, doing this on the Phone, will ask.
[19:11] <skraps> guest51198 your the man
[19:11] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: That link gives me a 404.
[19:11] <KE1HA> auronandace: Ahh, he said that worked cool, thanks.
[19:11] <RenaKunisaki> o.O
[19:11] <auronandace> KE1HA: no worries :)
[19:11] <RenaKunisaki> works for me... unetbootin seems to have done the trick anyway
[19:12] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: That's a good fallback in cases usb-creator fails.
[19:14] <KE1HA> Unetbootin is a slick little app, I use ti allot for ISO testing.
[19:15] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: Sorry, I had a b0rked link. What system are you using, btw.?
[19:16] <RenaKunisaki> running Xubuntu 11.04, installing Lubuntu 10.10 on another machine
[19:16] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: That doesn't look anything like the dialog I'm presented, on vanilla 11.04.
[19:17] <RenaKunisaki> is it usb-creator-gtk --iso=/some/file/iso ?
[19:17] <imi> is there an up-to-date version of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemOnIntrepid ?
[19:17] <RenaKunisaki> just plain usb-creator seems to not exist, and it does look different (and also not work) if not given an ISO path
[19:17] <escott> RenaKunisaki, i think you can specify the iso in the gui tool
[19:18] <RenaKunisaki> escott, you can, but if I tried that it just didn't do anything
[19:18] <RenaKunisaki> the ISO wouldn't appear in the list
[19:18] <auronandace> !intrepid | imi
[19:19] <JJiilles> what is the shortcut for paste in terminal??
[19:19] <imi> auronandace: what I was interested about if there's any article about encrypted rootfs how to for (e.g.) natty
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> JJiilles: ctrl+shift+v  or shift+ins
[19:20] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: I never give it a parameter, just open it from the menu. But I can understand now why it would look different. Good call.
[19:21] <auronandace> imi: hmm, it doesn't look like there is
[19:21] <imi> :(
[19:22] <RenaKunisaki> imi, when you install using the alternate ISO it should offer to set up disk encryption
[19:22] <imi> RenaKunisaki: will it use luks or dm_crypt?
[19:22] <RenaKunisaki> I think dm_crypt
[19:22] <iLogic> is there a keyboard shortcut for sending the message to twitter on gwiber?
[19:22] <auronandace> imi: this is what i could find: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems
[19:23] <iLogic> if gwibber doesnt have a keyboard shortcut for sending the messages it is plain stupid.
[19:24] <Titanoboa> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 and during the installation (like in the first few seconds) I get this error: "Failed to create a file system - The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI9 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."
[19:24] <Titanoboa> (I\m on the LiveCD atm btw)
[19:24] <Guest51198> how adjust wave/balance on speakers
[19:24] <Titanoboa> any idea what that means?
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: is it listed in any menus after you type something. Possibly could also use tab followed by enter if one isn't listed
[19:25] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: no it is not, and tab results in a indent space.. so am I right? gwibber is plain stupid?
[19:25] <cmanns> ikonia, hi
[19:25] <cmanns> In the pxelinux.cfg/ directory, make a symlink named after the pxe boot client's mac address (without the colons), and pointing to the "default" config file:
[19:26] <cmanns> Is the fallowing still needed? I can pxe boot the installer but when I click install at the menu it just hangs no lan activity, this why?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: not something i use. I use tweetdeck for chromium
[19:26] <KE1HA> +1 on tweetdeck
[19:28] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: but dude, it's the default client for ubuntu.. don't you agree it is stupid not to have a keyboard shortcut for seding messages? you have to actually click the button after you type, that is plain stupid
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: ctrl+enter like in ms outlook maybe..
[19:28] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: tried it all.. just agree with me it is stupid
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: default doesnt mean too much
[19:29] <dr_willis> if we agree will you quit bickering about it? :)
[19:29] <cmanns> or is my pxeboot tftp not right ? http://pastebin.com/4CkRvKBK
[19:30] <Titanoboa> are you supposed to be able to install software (e.g. flash) when running from LiveCD, or are you not?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: a shortcut would be a smart thing to have especially due to the nature of twitter (text)
[19:30] <Titanoboa> that is, without having the actual thing installed
[19:30] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  you can Up to a point.
[19:30] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  more ram = more stuff you can install.
[19:30] <iLogic> dr_willis: yes, but now you both will have to agree with it is damn stupid, not just plain stupid
[19:30] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: really? hi again btw. i doubt you remember me but i've tried a few things with my comp
[19:31] <farchord> Titanoboa, I hope nothing perverted....
[19:31] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: hm. i can't install anything at all and i still get the same error (after resetting my bios) when i try to install ubuntu
[19:31] <dr_willis> iLogic,  almost as silly as how long this ranting has been going on.. go file a bug report, or brainstorm idea. check the apps homepage/forums and suggest/search - you may have overlooked somting.
[19:31] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: "Failed to create a file system - The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI9 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."
[19:31] <iLogic> dr_willis: will do, doc
[19:31] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  try making a filesystem on it by hand with gparted/fdisk yet?
[19:32] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: no idea what that means. translate to english please? :D
[19:32] <dr_willis> use gparted, make a filesystem..
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: i think i got something
[19:32] <Titanoboa> no idea what gparted is
[19:32] <Titanoboa> sorry :(
[19:32] <dr_willis> You have real actual scsi hard drives?  or are they sata?
[19:32] <dr_willis> !info gparted
[19:32] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: you mean like drugs?
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/kupfer-v204-quicklauncher-released-with.html
[19:33] <cmanns> What would be the wget/etc equiv of lftp -c "open url ; mirror"
[19:33] <cmanns> Trying to grab the netboot installer complete file set =/
[19:33] <delectable> hi all.  would you folks mind if i parked a bot in here
[19:33] <delectable> like, 24/7
[19:33] <cmanns> yes
[19:33] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: when i open gparted, it lists 3 sda's. the top one called sda1 has a red exclamation thingy. prolly some error?
[19:33] <farchord> delectable, yes they do.
[19:33] <delectable> wait.  you don't know what the bot does yet
[19:34] <farchord> delectable, it could poop chunks of gold, we do not care.
[19:34] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: but dont you agree it should be standard? as dr_willis suggested, i'm writing them an angrymail
[19:34] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  if its mounted/in use - ! means you cant modify it.
[19:34] <Toph2> i have lost rge min,max,x functions from the panels of all my applications,, i think i was fooling around with the compiz cube feature when they disappeared. Any idea how to restore them?
[19:34] <delectable> farchord:  it answers common queries
[19:34] <Titanoboa> the warning says "unable to detect file system! possible reasons: file system is damaged, file system is unknown to GParted, The is no file system available (unformatted)
[19:34] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  you have 1 hard drive on this system? any other OS's on it?
[19:34] <farchord> delectable, we already have one.
[19:34] <delectable> automatically and appropriately
[19:35] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: nope no OS's, only 1 HDD
[19:35] <Titanoboa> might be the latter. so how do i format it? (someone else told me to format it too)
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: i guess but i found what you needed with websearching which you could have also found.
[19:35] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  id delete them all in gparted, and remake them as you want, then tell the installer to install to them.. OR just delete them all. and start the installer and let it partiton the hd as it wants
[19:35] <JJiilles> hey guys, im in a map now with terminal, how do I get to the main directory easely again?
[19:35] <Flex> Titanoboa, you don't have XP on it? orginally
[19:35] <JJiilles> cd home doesnt work
[19:36] <dr_willis> JJiilles,  in a map?
[19:36] <Titanoboa> Flex: XP got removed along with all my shtuff
[19:36] <dr_willis> JJiilles,  'cd' goes to your home dir.
[19:36] <Flex> probably not fully
[19:36] <JJiilles> thanks!!
[19:36] <Flex> dr_willis, does he need to boot from disk rather than use the live CD to fully wipe everything?
[19:36] <farchord> Flex, if he has nothing left on the disk, no need...
[19:37] <delectable> the bot also reveals next week's winning lottery numbers
[19:37] <dr_willis> Flex,  if he used fdisk, he could delete everything even if the partions are mounted. :) gparted can prob. delete it all also.
[19:37] <Flex> then do that Titanoboa
[19:37] <Titanoboa> i've deleted the partitions, now what
[19:37] <farchord> delectable: You know, I know that in chinese, there are thousands of words to say 'yes' and only one to say 'no' but we said 'no'.
[19:37] <Titanoboa> ^^
[19:38] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  apply changes,, reboot, start the installer
[19:38] <goodtime> heh
[19:38] <Titanoboa> okay
[19:38] <qzio> is there some trick to get the dash(?) to actually do something? I booted into unity, when I press the super key, the dash pops up, but nothing happens when i type something, it just searches and finds nothing.
[19:38] <Titanoboa> with or without livecd
[19:38] <Titanoboa> or does it not matter?
[19:38] <farchord> Or is it in Japanese....
[19:38]  * farchord thinks....
[19:38] <delectable> farchord:  how about a bot that insults users named "farchord" every time they speak
[19:38] <Uchiha_Itachi> #ubuntu_jp
[19:38] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  huh? if you deleted all the disk parittions.. you have nothing on it to boot......
[19:38] <farchord> delectable, that'd be hilaaaarious, but no.
[19:38] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  so you boot the cd.. start the installer...
[19:39] <qzio> if i press more apps nothing happens, if i type in gnome-terminal nothing happens etc.
[19:39] <Titanoboa> yeah but when i've booted the cd, should i choose Try Ubuntu or Install right away
[19:39] <Titanoboa> @dr_willis:
[19:39] <iLogic> ok dudes, chilÃl
[19:39] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  dosent matter.. You can use the live desktop as it installs... play solitare or whatver.. or chat in irc
[19:39] <Titanoboa> okay
[19:39] <Titanoboa> good to know, i'll do that.
[19:39] <Titanoboa> k rebooting cu in a bit ^^
[19:39] <Titanoboa> (thx for all the help so far)
[19:39] <YankDownUnder> Play solitaire? Whilst installing?
[19:40]  * dr_willis recalls installers from years back that let you Play solitare, or tetris as the os installed....
[19:40] <Flex> Titanoboa did you apply the changes?
[19:40] <dr_willis> YankDownUnder,  :)  yes.. seen disrots that had that feature.
[19:40] <Titanoboa> yep i applied it
[19:40] <Titanoboa> just about to reboot
[19:40] <Titanoboa> it just says unallocated space btw
[19:40] <Titanoboa> where the partition was
[19:40] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  then the installer should be able to auto-partition it as needed
[19:40] <Titanoboa> yay nice
[19:40] <KE1HA> LiveCD has two main options, Try Ubuntu, or install UB. The Try UB can be a bit slow if you ahve to download an app that's not on the CD, or you have low system recources (RAM), but works nice for trying things.
[19:41] <Titanoboa> k gonna try it
[19:41] <YankDownUnder> dr_willis, Yeah - BUT, what's the point? THAT is the time you should either be 1.) Making coffee/tea, drinking beer 2.) Panicking 3.) Stressing out 4.) Explaining to the better half why linux is better than MS Windows
[19:42] <Flex> I have a question! Gnome or KDE? :p
[19:42] <YankDownUnder> Flex, What version of Ubuntu?
[19:42] <edbian> Flex: don't ask
[19:42] <auronandace> !poll | Flex
[19:42] <Flex> :D
[19:42] <Uchiha_Itachi> Flex: fluxbox
[19:42] <Flex> i just asked in terms of what someone is using
[19:42] <KE1HA> the Install has three options, Auto (use the full disk), Side by Side for Dual boot, and manual, all do the same things, parttition & format.
[19:42] <Flex> YankDownUnder latest?
[19:43] <YankDownUnder> Flex, Then if it's 11.04, I certainly ain't gonna say nuthin... ;)
[19:43] <Flex> lol why not
[19:43] <delectable> farchord:  how about a bot that periodically sends "Linux is not yet ready for the desktop. Try Windows or Mac OSX instead."
[19:43] <YankDownUnder> Flex, It's a battle.
[19:43] <Flex> what would you choose?
[19:43] <KE1HA> delectable: I'd have to disagree, but this is really OT
[19:43] <YankDownUnder> Flex, Personally, and after much testing, neither of the two.
[19:44] <Flex> lol
[19:44] <farchord> KE1HA, he's just looking for attention.
[19:44] <delectable> KE1HA: everything is OT in here
[19:44] <delectable> farchord:  i'm just letting you know you're an idiot
[19:44] <delectable> in a kind way
[19:45] <farchord> Whats the xchat command to ignore an individual?
[19:45] <YankDownUnder> delectable, That just made my morning mate! Cheers for that!
[19:45] <iridium> delectable, selectable, forgettable
[19:45] <delectable> farchord:  you must be a newbie
[19:45] <delectable> iridium:  you wouldn't say that if you saw me
[19:45] <delectable> i'm not visually forgettable
[19:45] <farchord> Nevermind. Found it.
[19:45] <delectable> farchord:  "never mind" is two words
[19:45] <farchord> It's like doing a channel ban.
[19:46] <escott> farchord, "/ignore delectable ALL"
[19:46] <Flex> delectable would you say it's good to be a newbie or bad?
[19:46] <farchord> escott,  actually /ignore delectable!*@*
[19:46] <delectable> farchord is just jelly
[19:46] <delectable> he wishes he could have me
[19:46] <Flex> delectable, what do you look like?
[19:46] <escott> farchord, xchat adds those bits for me
[19:47] <farchord> escott, not mine, but thats okay :) used to be an ircop XD
[19:47] <delectable> Flex:  blonde hair, blue eyes, slim, short
[19:47] <KE1HA> delectable: If linux / unix is not ready for prime time, then why is this: http://www.top500.org/stats/list/37/os
[19:47] <farchord> KE1HA, do not feed the trolls.
[19:48] <KE1HA> SRI
[19:48] <delectable> that's server stats
[19:48] <delectable> linux is certainly ready for the server
[19:48] <Flex> so?
[19:49] <mega1> is there any way to upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 11 from installing from cd
[19:49] <delectable> Flex:  are you hot?
[19:49] <escott> mega1, you mean to avoid the network download
[19:50] <Flex> i've been rated 9/10
[19:50] <tomtiger11> delectable: #ubuntu-offtopic is for ramblings and of the like, not #ubuntu.
[19:50] <dunbar> mega1 use the alternate installer
[19:50] <delectable> Flex:  cool.  guys rate me 10/10
[19:50] <Flex> delectable, amaing
[19:50] <rww> Flex, delectable: Take it elsewhere.
[19:51] <delectable> yeah Flex
[19:51] <delectable> stop flirting lol
[19:51] <Flex> stop hitting on me then!
[19:51] <delectable> you guys wouldn't hate me in real life
[19:51] <delectable> nobody hates me
[19:51] <tomtiger11> delectable: This is for answering questions, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:51] <Flex> delectable, nobody hates you.
[19:51] <delectable> tomtiger11:  wanna see my pic?
[19:52] <auronandace> rww: thank you
[19:52] <farchord> rww, Thank you so much.
[19:52] <iridium> oh my, what a nuisance
[19:52] <Flex> you gave him what he wanted..
[19:53] <Titanoboa> wb
[19:53] <KE1HA> mega1: Boot to UB 10.xx then Alt+F2, then sudo do-release-upgrade
[19:54] <KE1HA> or, DL the LivdCD then upgrade, works the same both ways.
[19:54] <cmanns> So do I still need to do mac address of install client in the pxelinux config symlinked?
[19:56] <Toph2> i have lost rge min,max,x functions from the panels of all my applications,, i think i was fooling around with the compiz cube feature when they disappeared. Any idea how to restore them?
[19:57] <Chubcorp> I have a question about mounting a usb, no where can my system find it, but disk utility can. I've tried to find it with sudo fdisk -1 but it only shows the hard drive. Any help?
[19:57] <dr_willis> Toph2,  does alt-f2 bring up a run dialog?
[19:58] <Toph2> dr_willis,,, it doesn't, no
[19:58] <farchord> Chubcorp, what kind of usb device is it? Flash drive? USB HD?
[19:59] <Chubcorp> Farchord, Flash
[19:59] <dr_willis> Toph2,  well you could log out/back in and seeif it helps.. or if you can somehow get to a terminal now  try some commands to reset the settings. IF
[19:59] <dr_willis> Toph2, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html
[19:59] <escott> Chubcorp, the disk utility will tell you what the device is
[19:59] <mega1> escott yes
[19:59] <Polah> Could someone guide me through install wxPython2.8.10 on 11.04. The lastest release 2.8.10 release was for karmic and the only version I can get for 11.04 is 2.8.12
[19:59] <farchord> escott, if fdisk doesnt even see it, the disk utility wont
[20:00] <Toph2> dr_willis,,, thanks,, i think this has happened before
[20:00] <dr_willis> Toph2,  command at console to reset compiz ==>   gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
[20:00] <chewy> bazhang, still there?
[20:00] <dr_willis> we need to get that in a factoid. :)
[20:00] <farchord> Chubcorp, do other devices on usb ports work? I mean, I imply you use a port available on your motherboard here
[20:00] <escott> farchord, he said he could find it in disk utility. Chubcorp look under the "Volumes" section to the right you should see Device: /dev/...
[20:00] <chewy> bazhang, i have installed handbrake for requirements more than features. honestly ogmrip seems much more easy and user friendly.
[20:00] <rivertecpc> hol
[20:01] <farchord> escott, oh.... my bad
[20:01] <n2i> Hi!
[20:01] <n2i> Ubuntu can not detect my new Samsung monitor.
[20:02] <n2i> How to do it manualy?
[20:02] <escott> n2i, what kind of graphics card
[20:02] <Chubcorp> Farchord,  the port works and everything
[20:02] <dr_willis> n2i,  desktop system? laptop?
[20:02] <n2i> g31 chipset :)
[20:02] <n2i> desktop
[20:02] <mega1> can i reinstall ubuntu keeping all my settings
[20:03] <pk__> isn't there any application like PROXIFIER for linux?
[20:03] <farchord> Chubcorp, Id suggest following what escott says then, im still kind of a n00b, was trying to help with the experience I had ^^;
[20:03] <n2i> mega1: yes, unless you format /home while reinstalling
[20:03] <dr_willis> mega1,  backup your /home/ and restore it.. that will restore your users settings.. or if you had your /home/ on a seperate partition. you would just reinstall and NOT format /home/
[20:03] <Chubcorp> Escott, it says /dev/sdd
[20:03] <KE1HA> mega1: doing the upg preserves (as much as possible) current user settings.
[20:03] <n2i> escott, dr_willis: Can you help me?
[20:04] <Alias__> With what?
[20:04] <escott> n2i, what is a g31? is that ati/nvidia/intel...
[20:04] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: should "download updates while installing" and "install third party software" affect the installation in a bad way? i've tried both with and without it but should i prefer one?
[20:04] <KE1HA> mega1: However, re-install would wipe anything you had prevously.
[20:04] <escott> Chubcorp, then determine what partition you want to mount on sdd
[20:05] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  i always do...
[20:05] <n2i> escott: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5KPL_SE/#specifications
[20:05] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  it installes updates and some ecxtra packages to begin with, that i always want anyway.
[20:05] <KE1HA> try mkdir /media/usb then mount /dev/sdd /media/usb
[20:05] <n2i> I think it is Intel chipset
[20:06] <Chubcorp> Escott, that worked, thanks so much
[20:06] <Titanoboa> ok i guess i'll try with it then
[20:07] <escott> n2i, that motherboard doesn't have a video card
[20:07] <KE1HA> Thing to remember about mounting external or internal for that matter, is you need somwhere to point the mount too, e.g. a /directory of sorts.
[20:07] <Titanoboa> i'm still getting the same error though
[20:07] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: the partition thing didn't seem to work?
[20:07] <n2i> escott: yes. But what to do now?
[20:07] <Titanoboa> or did i do something wrnog
[20:07] <escott> n2i, what is your monitor plugged into
[20:08] <dr_willis> Titania,  if the installer is having a hard time partionoing that drive.. it could be a faulty drive.
[20:08] <n2i> uhm, please wait me a moment, I'm checking it.
[20:08] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: same error with other hard drives too though (and with different IDE's)
[20:08] <dr_willis> Titanoboa, you could try partionng it by hand and leave the first part of the HD in its own partition you dont use i guess.
[20:08] <Titanoboa> so it's not the cable nor the physical thing's problem >
[20:09] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  could be some deeper issues then. whats the exact error message?
[20:09] <n2i> escott: Samsung Syncmaster 933
[20:09] <Titanoboa> i've typed it a few times on here but i don't have it visible atm
[20:09] <Titanoboa> if you scroll up you'll find it, do ctrl-f and ext4 i guess
[20:09] <dr_willis> You could try making partions via gparted, and then install to them.
[20:09] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: sure im willing to try that
[20:09] <MistaMaze> hi
[20:09] <Krakish> Evening lads any dedicated channel for ubuntu server ?
[20:10] <dr_willis> also check 'dmesg' commands output see if it mentions any failures on the HD.
[20:10] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: i remember doing that with you and it had one damaged thing
[20:10] <Titanoboa> like a week ago or two
[20:10] <KE1HA> Krakish: ubuntu-server
[20:10] <Titanoboa> on here
[20:10] <escott> n2i, still not the right answer
[20:11] <n2i> escott: Why not? My monitor model is Samsung SyncMaster 933
[20:11] <escott> n2i, what kind of video card do you have
[20:11] <MistaMaze> i got a new sandy brigde, used meerkat before and tried oneiric because of besser sandy bridge support... is it possible to have oneiric installed (or natty) and make use of gnome2 feeling from meerkat?
[20:12] <MistaMaze> -besser +better
[20:12] <n2i> escott: Oh, I'm sorry! I have no any video card.
[20:12] <escott> MistaMaze, you might try something like xubuntu
[20:12] <dr_willis> !classic | MistaMaze
[20:12] <dr_willis> MistaMaze,  theres not going to be a  classic gnome in 11.10.
[20:12] <escott> n2i, then buy one
[20:13] <astraljava> MistaMaze: I would think that the kernel is what provides the support, so why not try to install a newer kernel on maverick?
[20:13] <n2i> I cannt set mode: 1368x768, ubuntu auto set mode: 1024x768
[20:13] <n2i> escott: :(
[20:13] <wols> n2i: checked your Xorg.0.log already?
[20:13] <wols> n2i: and ran read-edid?
[20:13] <cmanns> So I downloaded entire net install folder for ubuntu pxe install without media, i click install (enter) and it just goes blank. No network IO, I put the symlinked to default mac file in pxelinux.cfg folder, I replaced the partial tftp setup, yet still no gold
[20:14] <n2i> wols: not yet
[20:14] <MistaMaze> ok, so i have to use natty and use the classic login
[20:15] <KE1HA> Or usr a diffrent desktop alltogether, KDE, Xub, xfce etc etc
[20:15] <n2i> wols: read-edid? what is that?
[20:15] <escott> astraljava, MistaMaze it is more complex than just the kernel. the entire gem/mesa stack needs to match the kernel
[20:15] <MistaMaze> is there no possibility to use classic gnome2 in oneiric, because i also want to use "newer" programs
[20:15] <dr_willis> MistaMaze,  theres not going to be a  classic gnome in 11.10.
[20:15] <escott> MistaMaze, gnome 3 has a different fallback mode. using gnome 3 core, but no effects
[20:15] <rww> MistaMaze: GNOME 2 does not exist in oneiric. So no.
[20:15] <astraljava> escott: Okay, I wouldn't really know that much about it. Just a suggestion. Thanks for correcting me!
[20:16] <rww> also, #ubuntu+1 for oneiric stuff.
[20:16] <MistaMaze> yeah, tried xfce, fvwm, awesome, gnome3-shell and unity the last week, nothing is that good like good ol gnome2
[20:16] <n2i> Output VGA1 has no monitor section: What does it mean? [Xorg.0.log]
[20:16] <wols> n2i: it's a program
[20:17] <MistaMaze> how can i use the gnome3 fallback mode? (without gnome-shell)
[20:17] <MistaMaze> or is it possible to add gnome-panal to gnome3?
[20:17] <rww> MistaMaze: again, #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support
[20:17] <KE1HA> MistaMaze: oficially speaking, it's not going to be there, but Im sure there will be 3rd party collections, ppa's etc. just have to wait fer the release.
[20:18] <Krakish> how can i share my internet like this internet--myubuntu--wlan and continue to use my ubuntu as desktop ?
[20:18] <rww> !ics | Krakish
[20:18] <MistaMaze> ok, thanks all !!!
[20:18] <Krakish> Arigato
[20:19] <n2i> wols: hmm, I have guessed what it is. And I'm installing it now.
[20:19] <bigproblems> new to linux, need help with major problem with bootloader. i have attempted many fixes and none have worked. this is where i have come to seek help as a last rsort
[20:19] <n2i> wols: How to using it? I cannt launch it from terminal
[20:19] <bigproblems> anyone willing?
[20:20] <dr_willis> bigproblems,  state the actual problem.....
[20:20] <wols> n2i: why not?
[20:21] <n2i> wols: read-edid: command not found
[20:21] <bigproblems> dr willis, right now my computer has no OS and i am booting on a live cd of the newest ubuntu
[20:22] <bigproblems> bootreapir and rescatux have solved nothing and i spoke with someone last night and nothign worked
[20:22] <wols> n2i: what did you install for it then?
[20:23] <wols> bigproblems: you still haven't stated your problem sensibly. do you think you can manage to do it in this decade? or should we give you more time?
[20:23] <KE1HA> bigproblems: what was originally on the box, then what did you do and what was thr results of those actions?
[20:23] <genii-around> n2i: read-edid is packagename, I believe. You might want to do: sudo get-edid| parse-edid
[20:23] <cmanns> Any suggestions for PXE boot?
[20:24] <Dexo> hey i just got ubuntu 10.04 and i was wonder how to use Wine
[20:24] <Dexo> is it withh terminal cmds?
[20:24] <Dexo> or a gui
[20:24] <n2i> genii-around: Oh, thank you!
[20:24] <dr_willis> Dexo,  install wine.. find a windows exe   use 'wine whatever.exe'  is thebasics
[20:24] <bigproblems> sorry guys im jsust getting frustrated after 3 days of this mess. basically when i click install on ubuntu it goes thru the steps, and when ir reboots i am getting a grub error no disk found
[20:24] <escott> Dexo, you need to set the execute permission on your exe then just double-click
[20:24] <wols> cmanns: read the docs more careuflly and think more before you type and ask here, so you clearly and concisely lay out the problem
[20:24] <Dexo> oh ok
[20:25] <cmanns> Well the problem is no matter what I change it boots ubuntu loader, says install and what not. Click install, pewf nothing.
[20:25] <wols> bigproblems: that's not the exact error. and you haven't answered KE1HA either. try again
[20:25] <Dexo> i had vista on an old laptop that  had 512mb ram so i just installed ubuntu over it
[20:25] <escott> bigproblems, have you tried manually installing grub following instructions in !grub?
[20:25] <KE1HA> Dexo: then when you DL a WinDoze .exe or .bin, right click -- then properties, sekect executable, then right click again and use wine to install.
[20:26] <Dexo> if a program doesnt work with wine would be trying the Mac version of the program be the best choice?
[20:26] <bigproblems> the old XP on this system was cooked so i used ubuntu to wipe it all and have a ubuntu system only. but something muist have went wrong miserably
[20:26] <n2i> wols: I dont know what to to next
[20:26] <wols> Dexo: do you happen to have a Mac emulator?
[20:26] <KE1HA> Dexo: Wine will then be under APplications, then it looks, feels and works like WinDoze Program Files
[20:27] <bigproblems> escott yes, but i just keep hitting brick walls of errors that lead to nowhere
[20:27] <escott> Dexo, no. if you must run the program consider using virtualbox and running a vm
[20:27] <ironm> good evening - can you give me a tip please where to find a howto for creating debian packages from Ubuntu's git-repositories? - Thank you in advance
[20:27] <wols> ironm: do these git repos give you a debian/ directory when you pull them?
[20:28] <Dexo> no i do not have a ac emulator
[20:28] <wols> Dexo: then how would a mac binary work again?
[20:28] <Dexo> idk
[20:28] <Sub_Zero> So I'm going to test a game 'Westward IV' on mac via PearPC and the windows version with Wine. Anyone have any speculations to which is going to run better?
[20:28] <KE1HA> You can do it with Fusion, but that's OT here.
[20:28] <ironm> I will check it wols  .. thank you very much
[20:28] <escott> bigproblems, so far all you have described is a rather general grub installation issue. you need to give us more specifics about your system setup and what errors you have seen. have you ever gotten different errors? have you gotten weird messages when trying to do grub-install? how many and what size disks do you have? what kind of partition do you have?
[20:29] <ironm> wols, what is the git's url ?
[20:29] <wols> ironm: how would I know. You talked about them. I don't even know if they exist
[20:29] <KE1HA> http://git-scm.com/
[20:29] <fowl> i think my mouse stopped left clicking
[20:29] <escott> Sub_Zero, wine should work better
[20:29] <ironm> thank you KE1HA :)
[20:29] <fowl> lol it did
[20:29] <wols> KE1HA: that's not a ubuntu git-repository like he spoke of
[20:30] <KE1HA> Oh, sri
[20:30] <ironm> wols, I guess they should exist ;)
[20:30] <cmanns> wols, you see I've been reading the doc's
[20:30] <Sub_Zero> escott: What's your reasoning?
[20:30] <dfcnvt> Wow, that's a lot of user.
[20:30] <escott> Sub_Zero, pearpc emulates the powerpc architecture, wine just emulates system calls
[20:30] <wols> ironm: you need to recheck your guesses
[20:30] <KE1HA> SHould have read more, have three boxes going here Dooh!!
[20:30] <Dexo> whoa, everything just went blackand white and skype hungup
[20:31] <Dexo> whoa.
[20:31] <cmanns> I think I just need help with a base pxelinux.cfg config. The default seems rather bare.
[20:32] <Dexo> wtf, ubuntu keeps making my screen black and white then freezeing
[20:33] <astraljava> ironm: Generally, ubuntu stuff is in bazaar repositories, managed inside launchpad. Debian is the one that uses git, and in some rare (and old) cases, svn.
[20:33] <Dexo> but then come back to normaly in like 2 minutes
[20:33] <agentorange2208> Hello every one Im new here
[20:33] <Polah> Is there any program that will allow me to save form information in PDFs successfully? I have a PDF with embedded forms and I've tried multiple readers/editors like Adobe Reader, Foxit, the default document viewer and xpdf. They either don't let me fill out the forms or when they do let me they fail to save the information entered.
[20:33] <OmegaForte> astraljava, Ahhh...SVN's. I remember those days. Check out, ./configure, make and makeinstall..
[20:34] <agentorange2208> Can any one give me a good site for ubuntu customizations of the GUI?
[20:34] <Dexo> compiz
[20:34] <digilib> Polah: Okular
[20:34] <Dexo> i think its called
[20:34] <agentorange2208> thx
[20:34] <escott> !grub > bigproblems
[20:34] <OmegaForte> agentorange2208, I'm probably the only maintainer of Emerald, so you tell me what you want it to look like.
[20:34] <OmegaForte> agentorange2208, I'll see about making it happen.
[20:34] <ironm> thank you astraljava .. are bazaar repositories another "thing" than git-repos ?
[20:34] <astraljava> OmegaForte: I was shocked, moving into a new job 5 weeks ago, to learn they still store all code in svn. Together with another up-to-date developer, we're now starting the migration to git. But that's OT, so no more of that.
[20:35] <agentorange2208> IDK I guess I have to look at some screen shots OmegaForte
[20:35] <astraljava> !bazaar > ironm
[20:35] <astraljava> !bzr > ironm
[20:35] <cmanns> Anyone else can help with getting ubuntu installing?
[20:35] <ironm> thanks a lot  astraljava :)
[20:35] <agentorange2208> Just burn to a CD and do a clean install is easiest
[20:36] <astraljava> ironm: No prob. :)
[20:36] <Polah> digilib: Thanks, I'll give it a try.
[20:36] <astraljava> cmanns: I'd imagine you have a problem with that, so what is it?
[20:36] <agentorange2208> though I had to install 10.4 first then upgrade it to wprk properly
[20:37] <agentorange2208> you know I have never used IRC before today
[20:37] <agentorange2208> Im an IRC virgin....lol
[20:38] <patri91> hi guys!
[20:38] <ironm> you will love it agentorange2208  .. (IRC)
[20:38] <patri91> hi need help please
[20:38] <agentorange2208> Hello there

[20:38] <agentorange2208> ok ill check it out right now
[20:38] <agentorange2208> thx
[20:38] <patri91> error_reporting isnt running to me in apache with php5
[20:39] <KE1HA> patri91: probably a quesiton best asked in ubuntu-server
[20:39] <patri91> in php.ini is turned on, but in phpinfo i see that is turned off
[20:39] <agentorange2208> Cool OmegaForte
[20:39] <agentorange2208> I think I have to wait untill I do an upgrade though
[20:39] <xxy> how do I run Gnome3 in ubuntu 11.10 ?  I've seen videos of people running it. I know I need to install the gnome-shell package... But there is something I miss
[20:39] <jrib> patri91: what is your question?
[20:40] <agentorange2208> I have a 128GB AGP Nvidia card
[20:40] <rww> xxy: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support, please
[20:40] <agentorange2208> Unity doesnt even work for me
[20:40] <farchord> agentorange2208, 128gb!? Holy hell! :)
[20:40] <OmegaForte> agentorange2208, Yeah you're gonna need a 7000~GT or higher to run emerald as I build it.
[20:40] <patri91> i dont know why i see an 500 error insted of php errors
[20:40] <agentorange2208> this is my linux box with an old P4
[20:40] <asteve> farchord: back in the day i had 128mb!
[20:40] <KE1HA> I want one of those GPU cards 128GB that's impressive !
[20:40] <boywonder> iceroot, you about?
[20:40] <haresh> hey guys ned help cant connect to wireless nr internet using cable
[20:40] <agentorange2208> Just gpt her up and running
[20:40] <farchord> lol
[20:40] <patri91> i have apache2 with php5 and phpmyadmin
[20:41] <agentorange2208> trying to learn linux better now
[20:41] <patri91> and i dont know why i cant see errors in apache
[20:41] <OmegaForte> agentorange2208, Well, I idle in here, so when you figure out and get updated and such, let me know what you want.
[20:41] <agentorange2208> I have a tripple boot of Mint 11, Back Track 5 and Ubuntu 11.4
[20:41] <agentorange2208> ok cool thx Omega
[20:41] <jakemp> I don't suppose there is a way to get a notification once a makefile finishes building something?
[20:42] <agentorange2208> any one play Guild wars here?
[20:42] <escott> jakemp, make && command_to_notify_you
[20:42] <bzyrox> haresh: more info?
[20:42] <jakemp>  /facepalm
[20:42] <KE1HA> agentorange2208: the ubuntu manual is a good place to start, lots of basics, and gets into the intermediate levels, all Ubuntu of course.
[20:42] <escott> jakemp, that would only notify on success, ; to notify no matter what
[20:42] <n2i> Thank all!
[20:42] <Dexo> is 512mb ram with ubuntu10.04 enoguh for compiz fusion?
[20:42] <agentorange2208> where do I DL that at?
[20:43] <agentorange2208> also can I bookmark this chat room?
[20:43] <farchord> Dexo, doubtful, if it does work it wont run well.
[20:43] <jakemp> is there a command that will cause the icon for a terminal to make a noise like IRC does when someone pings me?
[20:43] <agentorange2208> new to irc, running xchat here
[20:43] <etfb> A recent dbus update has apparently trashed my Thinkpad's multimedia keys - volume control, brightness control, suspend-on-close and so on.  Is that a known problem?
[20:43] <jakemp> *wobble and make a noise
[20:43] <trism> jakemp: ubuntu provides in the default ~/.bashrc since 10.10 an alert alias, you can do: command; alert and it will notify you when it is done
[20:43] <KE1HA> agentorange2208: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[20:43] <agentorange2208> thx
[20:43] <Dexo> oh now im sad
[20:43] <jakemp> awesome
[20:44] <Reaper> so does anyone know how to update my dvd/cd rom drivers?
[20:44] <escott> Reaper, they are part of the kernel... why do you need them updated
[20:44] <wols> Reaper: a new kernel. but generally, there aren't new drivers for that kind of device in there
[20:44] <dr_willis> Reaper,  you mean the BIOS on your optical drive?
[20:44] <wols> Reaper: what is your real problem?
[20:45] <Reaper> not sure if they need updated but ever since I installed ubuntu my cd rom wont work.
[20:45] <etfb> agentorange2208, right-click #ubuntu in the left-hand sidebar and add it to Favourites. That should work, I think.
[20:45] <wols> Reaper: how is it connected to your PC?
[20:45] <Reaper> its in a laptop
[20:45] <wols> Reaper: try again. this time actually answering the question
[20:45] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: i kind of feel like giving up.
[20:45] <Reaper> inside the laptop?
[20:45] <agentorange2208> it only has remove so I guess it saves auto?
[20:46] <Titanoboa> same error. switched places of the CD and HD
[20:46] <BluesKaj> Reaper, what kind of disk isn't playing ?
[20:46] <agentorange2208> Im looking at going AMD for this Ubuntu box upgrade
[20:46] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  so you cant even mkfs.ext4 the hard drive? it fails with some error?
[20:46] <agentorange2208> Microsoft got me turned
[20:46] <Titanoboa> just wish i could use flash and download just one small app with the LiveCD
[20:46] <Reaper> ive tried a few, a xp pro disk and a back track disk
[20:46] <etfb> agentorange2208, which version of xchat are you using?  I'm on 2.8.8 and it has a Favourites option in the context menu.
[20:47] <agentorange2208> I dont even want their processors in my new machine...lol
[20:47] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: i'll try that again and tell you what it says. it didn't give me an error but a Warning
[20:47] <agentorange2208> etfb- yeah i go tthe same one
[20:47] <wols> agentorange2208: please stay on topic. microsoft cpus are offtopic. thank you
[20:47] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: what's the full command again
[20:47] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  you mean mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 ?
[20:47] <OmegaForte> agentorange2208, Microsoft doesn't make processors. They make software. Which often is largely based on unix.
[20:47] <haresh_> hey guys ned help cant connect to wireless nr internet using cable
[20:48] <Titanoboa> k doing it
[20:48] <Reaper> think it could be the cd drive just going bad?
[20:48] <wols> haresh_: wlan working? iwlist wlan0 scan
[20:48] <BluesKaj> Reaper, what about cd or dvd?
[20:48] <Reaper> havent tried that yet but I will when I get home
[20:49] <BluesKaj> music or video in other words , Reaper
[20:49] <Reaper> nah, just data so far
[20:49] <agentorange2208> any one know how to flash bios in ubuntu?
[20:49] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: it says Writing inode tables:done, Creating journal (x blocks): done, Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: Warning, had trouble writing out superblocks.done
[20:49] <agentorange2208> on an intel CPU
[20:49] <wols> agentorange2208: not doable. use freedos
[20:49] <Titanoboa> and then it just stops
[20:49] <agentorange2208> can it be used in ubuntu?
[20:49] <OmegaForte> agentorange2208, You flash a bios with a bios flasher, and most modern bioses can be flashed from within the bios, or during the post (2008~ and up)
[20:49] <escott> Titanoboa, have you checked the smart status of the drive
[20:50] <Titanoboa> escott: no
[20:50] <wols> agentorange2208: FreeDOS is a full operating system. MSDOS clone
[20:50] <agentorange2208> this is a 2003 machine
[20:50] <haresh_> wols, wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Network is down
[20:50] <escott> Titanoboa, you can find it in the disk utility
[20:50] <wols> haresh_: what wlan chip do you have?
[20:50] <agentorange2208> can it be run in ubuntu though?
[20:50] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  never seen sich a warning befor.  i think it normally makes a backup copies of the superblocks. could be one copy failed..  as a 'warning' and that warning status is making he installer fail.
[20:50] <haresh_> wols, how do i check tha
[20:50] <Titanoboa> escott: how do I open that?
[20:50] <agentorange2208> like in a bash or some thing?
[20:50] <Reaper> I guess worse case I have a external cd I can hook up to get another os on. I did have mint on here and it worked fine. Switched to ubuntu to get vbox on
[20:51] <dr_willis> Titania,  you could start the installer and tell it to NOT format the / partition. (sda1)
[20:51] <rww> agentorange2208: as wols' comment "not doable." implied, no.
[20:51] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: probably since MB won't talk to my HD?
[20:51] <OmegaForte> agentorange2208, You dn't run it IN ubuntu. You run it outside of ubuntu, like booting the life CD.
[20:51] <wols> dr_willis: has he ever run a long SMART test on the disk?
[20:51] <agentorange2208> ok I understand now
[20:51] <Reaper> brb
[20:51] <wols> haresh_: lspci -nn
[20:51] <agentorange2208> thx
[20:51] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  it has been talking to it.. since you just formated it...
[20:51] <aashu_dwivedi_> I installed python 2. 5 on my system which was having 2.7 too . and now running python would just give me python2.5 how to fix  ?
[20:51] <KE1HA> agentorange2208: FreeDos is a live CD, here's more info on it: http://www.freedos.org/
[20:51] <dr_willis> wols,  its an ide disk. not sure if those even do smart.
[20:51] <agentorange2208> but its a dell and they prepack the file
[20:51] <escott> Titanoboa, it is in the live cd. my guess is you have bad blocks on the disk at exactly where it wants to put the superblock
[20:51] <Titanoboa> did I format it though? D: when?
[20:51] <aashu_dwivedi_> the output of the whereis command is python: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2.6 /etc/python /etc/python2.7 /etc/python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.7 /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python2.5 /usr/local/bin/python2.5-config /usr/local/lib/python2.5 /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.6_d /usr/include/python2.7 /usr/include/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.7_d /usr/share/python /usr/sha
[20:51] <aashu_dwivedi_> re/man/man1/python.1.gz
[20:51] <wols> aashu_dwivedi_: uninstall 2.5 and reinstall 2.7
[20:51] <FloodBot1> aashu_dwivedi_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:51] <dr_willis> Titania,  mkfs = formats.
[20:52] <wols> dr_willis: they do. unless it's a 200MB one or so
[20:52] <dr_willis> Titania,  see if you can acces it now from the file manager.
[20:52] <edbian> aashu_dwivedi_: trying python2.7   at the cli
[20:52] <Titanoboa> it helps if you type my name properly, then it highlights your message, dr_willis
[20:52] <aashu_dwivedi_> and the type command gives python: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2.6 /etc/python /etc/python2.7 /etc/python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.7 /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python2.5 /usr/local/bin/python2.5-config /usr/local/lib/python2.5 /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.6_d /usr/include/python2.7 /usr/include/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.7_d /usr/share/python /usr/share/man/man

[20:52] <haresh_> wols, WHERE TO PASTE IT
[20:52] <FloodBot1> aashu_dwivedi_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:52] <wols> !paste | haresh_
[20:52] <aashu_dwivedi_> sorry type gives -----> python is /usr/local/bin/python
[20:52] <agentorange2208> ANy of you guys play Guild Wars?
[20:52] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  so see if you can access it from the file manager.
[20:53] <wols> agentorange2208: please stay on topic
[20:53] <haresh_> wols, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659536/

[20:53] <wols> agentorange2208: this channel is not for small talk at all
[20:53] <wols> !ot | agentorange2208
[20:53] <agentorange2208> ok sorry im new
[20:53] <dr_willis> small talk in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[20:54] <wols> haresh_: should work out of the box. dmesg |grep iwl
[20:54] <boywonder> i was here earlier, i had my network set up all wrong now ive sorted it, i need help in mounting a network drive can anyone please assist?
[20:54] <wols> boywonder: NEVER ask "can anyone help". always simply state your actual problem
[20:54] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: since i would feel A LOT better if i could just download a small app to my computer, can we try to work that out first?
[20:55] <haresh_> wols, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659538/
[20:55] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  what app?
[20:55] <Titanoboa> the app i've been trying to install is armagetron advanced
[20:55] <biggi_mat> boywonder, what kind of network drive
[20:55] <Titanoboa> and i have 2GB ram
[20:55] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  a game?  You want to play a game from the live cd?
[20:55] <wols> haresh_: you played a lot around with your keys and switches on that laptop, hm?
[20:55] <Titanoboa> not possible? :P
[20:55] <boywonder> wols, im tring to mount a drive,ive installed smbfs, but i dont have a mount point,wait for paste
[20:56] <haresh_> huh
[20:56] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  You may not have the proper 3d drivers for a 3d game
[20:56] <rww> Titanoboa: sudo apt-get install armagetronad
[20:56] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  but you can just do what rww  said to install it to ram to play.
[20:56] <wols> boywonder: mkdir <some mountpoint directory>   done
[20:56] <OmegaForte> boywonder, Then make a mount point. It's not rocket surgery. Make a folder you want to mount the share at.
[20:56] <Titanoboa> ok trying what rww said
[20:56] <dr_willis> Hay! Rocket Surgery is My Line! :P
[20:57] <agentorange2208> how do I configure Unity?
[20:57] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: it's not actually 3d though. it's 2d made to look like 3d
[20:57] <boywonder> Omega,  i did that, i must of bee miss enformed
[20:57] <dr_willis> agentorange2208,  theres some tweaks you can do to it. Mentioned at the  webupd8 blog site. :)
[20:57] <haresh_> wols, huh
[20:57] <rt10k_> how can i make a zip file of a directory via command line?
[20:57] <mega1> sudo reboot
[20:58] <guntbert> mega1: what?
[20:58] <rww> mega1: hrm?
[20:58] <alex--> mega1: what's the difference between sudo reboot and sudo shutdown -r 0 ?
[20:58] <agentorange2208> thx drwilllis
[20:58] <dr_willis> one is more leet :)
[20:58] <alex--> last one?:P
[20:58] <gregg_> How can I install an older version of rsyslog in Natty? Specifically I want to install rsyslog 4.2.0-2ubuntu4. "$ apt-cache showpkg rsyslog" shows only version 4.6.4-2ubuntu4.
[20:58] <alex--> i always used the last one :)
[20:58] <boywonder> i have mount point cifs dont exist?
[20:59] <wols> boywonder: then you wrote your command very wrong. paste it
[20:59] <dr_willis> boywonder,  when you mount somthing to a directory that directory MUST exist beforhand..
[20:59] <boywonder> /78.33.89.190/serveone/test2/home/chris/networkdrive cifs credentials=/home/chris/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[20:59] <wols> gregg_: get it from package.ubuntu.com and install it with dpkg -i
[21:00] <guntbert> boywonder:    -t cifs
[21:00] <wols> boywonder: that's an fstab line. a wrong one as well. what is your mount command?
[21:00] <haresh> wols, what do u mein
[21:00] <gregg_> wols: Thanks.
[21:00] <dr_willis> looks like his spaces got messed up.
[21:00] <boywonder> sudo mount -a
[21:00] <Titanoboa> rww: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package armagetronad
[21:00] <Titanoboa> this bad?

[21:00] <Titanoboa> or @ dr_willis, either
[21:01] <rww> Titanoboa: try running 'sudo apt-get update' first
[21:01] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  could be the wrong name for the game.
[21:01] <rww> !info armagetronad | dr_willis
[21:01] <Titanoboa> oh ic
[21:01] <dr_willis> its possile the universe repo is not enabled on the live cd also.
[21:02] <rww> dr_willis: I think it is, these days
[21:02] <boywonder> dr_willis, wont that be easy for you to pleas paste my exact code or is that trolling?
[21:02] <KE1HA> ClamAV saves the day, just used Linux to rescue a WinDoze Virus riddled box :-)
[21:02] <KE1HA> WHoops wrong channel sri !
[21:02] <haresh> wols, what do i do next ?
[21:02] <dr_willis> boywonder,  did you paste your line with just spaces missing? or was that how it really looked?
[21:02] <wols> boywonder: he fixed your mistake.
[21:02] <boywonder> how it really looked
[21:02] <wols> boywonder: so you should say "thank you" instead
[21:02] <boywonder> wols thanks
[21:02] <dr_willis> boywonder,  it was missing a / at the start.. and missing spaces.. so  you are doing typos...
[21:03] <Titanoboa> rww: what's the difference between the sudo you gave me or just clicking More info, use this source and install?
[21:03] <rww> Titanoboa: I don't have the pointy clicky interface memorized and do have the terminal commands memorized :P
[21:03] <Tanatos7> Hello.
[21:03] <rww> or, in other words "I have no idea what that button does, so I dunno"
[21:03] <dr_willis> cifs mounting examples ------>  http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html
[21:03] <dr_willis> :) yes from some suse docs..
[21:03] <Titanoboa> oh okay
[21:03] <Titanoboa> well neither works
[21:04] <boywonder> dr_willis,  i did miss the copy off / it was there
[21:04] <Titanoboa> it's 5000 kb when installed. 2GB ram should be enough shouldn't it >_<
[21:04] <wols> dr_willis: no clue why he thanked me and not you, sorry. but then, he's a "boywonder"
[21:04] <dr_willis>    example --> //192.168.44.100/share   /path_to/mount   cifs   username=server_user,password=secret,_netdev   0 0
[21:04]  * rww passes Titanoboa to dr_willis, goes off to find out why the users are being suspiciously quiet
[21:04] <boywonder> wols, for kindly stoping him from giving me dcode that i could of pasted thanks
[21:04] <Titanoboa> hehe
[21:05] <dr_willis> !fish
[21:05] <wols> dr_willis: wth is "_netdev"?
[21:05] <wols> and there is no auto, no user, etc
[21:05] <dr_willis> wols,  no idea. some option i guess...
[21:05] <dr_willis> from cifs mounting examples ------>  http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html
[21:06] <Tanatos7> Can someone tell me the chanel of Xubuntu? Thanks a lot
[21:06] <wols> interesting:"`_netdev'' (device requires network to be available)."
[21:06] <wols> !xubuntu
[21:06] <rww> Tanatos7: #xubuntu
[21:06] <Titanoboa> w00t dr_willis: this time when installing it it didn't give me an error

[21:07] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  it must have ben stoping becaise of that warning is all i can think of.
[21:07] <Titanoboa> and it's in "Installed software" but i dunno how to run it :)
[21:07] <escott> Titanoboa, be sure to check your smart data. it may have remapped a bad block after discovering it. the drive could be failing
[21:07] <Tanatos7> How do I add?
[21:08] <Titanoboa> well i seem to have succesfully downloaded arma! but dunno how to run it and can't find it anywhere except under Installed Software in the Ubuntu Software Center
[21:08] <dr_willis> Tanatos7,  /join #xubuntu     is one way to get there.
[21:08] <Tanatos7> Thanks
[21:08] <boywonder> mounted]
[21:08] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  open terminal type its name...

[21:16] <edbian> ruiserra: Mine is also empty (although I'm not sure the purpose of the file)
[21:17] <wols> dr_willis: will that prompt you for user/pass?
[21:17] <dr_willis> wols,  should..
[21:17] <dr_willis> the whole network browsing for shares is badly messed up for me on my home lan. under gnome, kde, and other  tools..  suprizeingly enough the BoxeeBox sees all the machines and shares...
[21:17] <ruiserra> I need to read the cpu temperature of a code in C
[21:18] <wols> dr_willis: that is hit&miss under every OS. WIndows itself is no better

[21:21] <ubuntunoob> i am trying to install  ubuntu one from the nightly ppa but i am having some problems
[21:21] <edbian> mega1: sure
[21:21] <edbian> mega1: Did you get your interface working?
[21:21] <ubuntunoob> can someone help?
[21:21] <haresh_> edbian, both
[21:22] <stephenh> hello.. has anyone used sheepsaver for macos emulation?  just wondering if i should download the windows version of something and use wine/crossover, or download the mac version and attempt to use sheepshaver?
[21:22] <rww> ubuntunoob: ask #ubuntuone. PPAs aren't supported in #ubuntu.
[21:22] <wols> !ubuntu+1 | ubuntunoob
[21:22] <stephenh> sheepshaver's description just say 'runs mac software in a window'
[21:22] <ubuntunoob> ok thanks
[21:22] <edbian> haresh_: plug the wire in, do the lights come on ?
[21:22] <rww> wols: ubuntu+1 != ubuntuone :(
[21:22] <haresh_> edbian, yea
[21:22] <stephenh> wols fail
[21:22] <guntbert> IamSilly: don't, instead try the alpha in a virtual machine
[21:22] <edbian> haresh_: ping www.google.com   do you get a response?
[21:23] <stephenh> any opinion re mac on linux?
[21:23] <IamSilly> I have tried the alpha on my machine but I get every two minutes an error that a service was terminated unexpectedly - you cannot work with the alpha
[21:23] <haresh_> edbian, when i plug in it says to me disconnected
[21:23] <edbian> haresh_: ping www.google.com
[21:23] <Logan_> How t insatall directx?
[21:24] <edbian> Logan_: We do not have directx on linux
[21:24] <Guest60066> Can somone help me install directx
[21:24] <haresh_> edbian, i am now using my hp to come online using usb therting
[21:24] <wols> Logan_: winetricks is a possibility
[21:24] <Guest60066> I know there is a way you can
[21:24] <stephenh> Guest60066: using crossover
[21:24] <wols> Guest60066: winetricks
[21:24] <dr_willis> Guest60066,  see the wine app database and the winetricks site/gudes and #winehq
[21:24] <Guest60066> I just need to run Portal
[21:24] <edbian> haresh_: Are you gonna ping google or not?
[21:24] <wols> Guest60066: appdb.winehq.org
[21:25] <haresh_> edbian, i do get reply
[21:25] <wildint> I have an 8.04 server, at the local console for some reason I can login with just pushing enter for the password
[21:25] <stephenh> so mac software on linux? no opinion?  better to use windows software with wine?
[21:25] <wildint> but it does have a password and does require it for sudo
[21:25] <edbian> haresh_: alright then :)   ip config    do you have an address ?
[21:25] <dr_willis> stephenh,  i would imagine the wine route. has a lot better chance of success
[21:25] <wols> stephenh: we don't do polls. ask a ubuntu support question
[21:25] <stephenh> dr_willis: i'm thinking so
[21:25] <Guest60066> Hmm
[21:25] <stephenh> just thought i'd ask before making it happen
[21:25] <Guest60066> How do I use winetricks?
[21:25] <Guest60066> I already have it installed
[21:26] <haresh_> edbian, yeah
[21:26] <stephenh> hadn't heard of sheepsaver before now
[21:26] <wols> Guest60066: then run it
[21:26] <edbian> haresh_: sorry, I made a typo.  The correct command to run is sudo ifconfig -a | grep inet addr
[21:26] <Success> someone sadi my name
[21:26] <dr_willis> run it... tell it to install what you need Guest60066
[21:26] <Success> what dr willis
[21:26] <Guest60066> Just run Portal?
[21:26] <Guest60066> But
[21:26] <Success> u said my name
[21:26] <rww> !who | General note
[21:26] <dr_willis> run it winetricks....... tell it to install what you need Guest60066
[21:26] <Guest60066> Winetricks doens't have directx
[21:26] <Guest60066> I've looked
[21:26] <Success> DR_WILLIS
[21:26] <Success> what do u want
[21:26] <dr_willis> winetricks is a command/tool you use.. and yes it does have some directx stuff ..
[21:26] <wols> Guest60066: then there is no way. and you usually don't need it either
[21:26] <stephenh> lol :d
[21:26] <stephenh> :D
[21:26] <Guest60066> Ok
[21:27] <edbian> haresh_: I'm a mess :P   sudo ifconfig    does eth0  come up ?
[21:27] <Guest60066> So, What do I need to do exactly?
[21:27] <wols> Guest60066: you need to go to appdb.winehq.org
[21:27] <dr_willis> Guest60066,  #1. go to the wine app database and look up the game.. normally they tell you what is needed
[21:27] <stephenh> edbian: ip addr show might be easier ;)
[21:27] <haresh_> edbian, yea
[21:27] <Guest60066> It's not on there
[21:27] <wols> Guest60066: you are wrong
[21:27] <edbian> haresh_: what is the ip address for that interface?  What is the ip of the router?
[21:28] <Guest60066> How am I wrong?
[21:28] <edbian> stephenh: :P  thanks
[21:28] <KE1HA> if DirextX wasn't a part of wine, wine would be nearly usless.
[21:28] <wols> Guest60066: appdb has a portal and a portal 2 entry.
[21:28] <ruiserra> So, the command "sensors" it's work
[21:28] <Guest60066> Hmm
[21:28] <haresh_> edbian, noting
[21:29] <edbian> haresh_: noting ?
[21:29] <ruiserra> how do I code in C to read the temperature?
[21:29] <wols> ruiserra: use popen?
[21:29] <ruiserra> popen?
[21:29] <haresh_> edbian, yeah i am connected to the net using my mobile and when i plug in my internet cable it als dont sho any thing
[21:29] <wols> ruiserra: there is also a libsensors I think
[21:29] <stephenh> edbian: what are you trying to do
[21:30] <Guest60066> Alright
[21:30] <Guest60066> I'm doing it now
[21:30] <wols> ruiserra: but how do you know which of the many temps there are snsors for is the one for CPU, for northbridge, etc?
[21:30] <edbian> stephenh: He needs to get online (wired or wireless).  He plugged it in, he says the lights come on.
[21:30] <stephenh> ok
[21:30] <edbian> haresh_: sudo ifconfig       if eth0 is listed tell me the ip address it has
[21:30] <edbian> haresh_: Do you know the ip address of the router?
[21:30] <stephenh> look at /var/log/messages and see what it shows when plugging
[21:31] <stephenh> would atleast be a start if dhcp client is failing etc
[21:31] <edbian> stephenh: good idea
[21:31] <wols> haresh_: you need to decide if you want to go online via ethernet, wireless or 3G...
[21:31] <haresh_> edbian, yeah i do
[21:31] <astraljava> ruiserra: I'm pretty sure you would get better answers (not dissing wols in any way here, mind you) on #ubuntu-app-devel. :)
[21:31] <Guest60066> Does it matter If Portal isn't on my steam account?
[21:31] <edbian> haresh_: then tell me the ip address of eth0 and the router
[21:31] <haresh_> wols,  i wanan use my wirless
[21:31] <stephenh> haresh_: tail -f /var/log/messages, then plug in the ethernet cable
[21:31] <OmegaForte> Guest60066, We don't support piracy, and Portal is only avaliable through steam./
[21:31] <wols> Guest60066: then how did you buy it in the first place?
[21:31] <stephenh> haresh_: just use network manager then to connect..?
[21:32] <wols> haresh_: then don't talk about 3G or ethernet
[21:32] <Guest60066> It wasn't piracy
[21:32] <Guest60066> I just moved it from my old windows pc
[21:32] <OmegaForte> Guest60066, You need steam to play that game. Install winetricks and install steam through it.
[21:32] <Guest60066> Ok
[21:32] <Guest60066> That
[21:32] <wols> haresh_: tell the people who help you like edbian what you actually need to accompliss. he's been trying to help you with your ethernet for the last 15 minutes
[21:32] <Guest60066> 's What I'm doing
[21:33] <haresh_> wols, i am sorry
[21:33] <winut> when you say you don't support piracy, does that mean that you don't even pay the pirates!! lol
[21:33] <wols> winut: too many ninjas here. so there can't be any pirates
[21:33] <KE1HA> lol
[21:33] <winut> safe :-)
[21:33] <haresh_> edbian, Can u please help me with my wireless
[21:33] <edbian> haresh_: alright sure
[21:33] <OmegaForte> winut, Not only do I not pay them, I chase them around with squirtguns!
[21:33] <stephenh> lol ;p
[21:34] <edbian> haresh_: sudo iwlist scan   (does it list networks?)
[21:34] <wols> edbian: last paste I got from him: http://paste.ubuntu.com/659542/
[21:34] <wols> edbian: it's a centrino 1000 wlan chip
[21:35] <edbian> wols: Is there any reason he can't get on that network?  How the heck did he pastebin this?  he says he can't get online?
[21:35] <wols> edbian: beats me... I thought he had problems via nm, and I don't do nm since it's evil and gives me bad kharma
[21:35] <haresh_> edbian, it says
[21:36] <haresh_> edbian, it says wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[21:36] <edbian> wols: different from the pastebin...
[21:36] <edbian> haresh_: sudo rfkill list
[21:36] <edbian> haresh_: Is anything blocked?
[21:36] <DANYAL> how to convert file from mac format to dos format in ubuntu
[21:37] <bazhang> DANYAL, format of what
[21:37] <dr_willis> DANYAL,  you are refering to a text/ascii file?
[21:37] <haresh_> edbian, blocked ?
[21:37] <edbian> haresh_: run sudo rfkill list   and it will tell you if anything is blocked.
[21:37] <DANYAL> dr_willis yes
[21:38] <boywonder> how can i test to see what connection i have, and what connections i can close, ive got a funny feeling ive got an intruder?
[21:38] <dr_willis> since os-x is 'bsd' underneeth. I though the text files would be the same as on linux. ie: cr/lf at the ends of hte lines and so forth.
[21:38] <iceroot> boywonder: netstat
[21:38] <edbian> boywonder: read about netstat
[21:38] <DANYAL> dr_willis is it possible or not
[21:38] <boywonder> iceroot, i have loads of conections in there
[21:38] <wols> boywonder: sudo netstat -anp |less   but usually you don't see the intruder due to rootkits
[21:38] <iceroot> boywonder: if you only want to see ssh conections, use "w"
[21:39] <DANYAL> to convert mac format to simple english format
[21:39] <wols> DANYAL: tried unixtodos ?
[21:39] <dr_willis> DANYAL,  from my little knowledge of os-x- its allready 'converted' to linux format.
[21:39] <haresh_> edbian, nope noting is blocked
[21:39] <dr_willis> DANYAL,  theres numerous unix to dos and visa versa tools
[21:39] <DANYAL> im using ubuntu/linux
[21:39] <edbian> haresh_: is says no everywhere?  Alright, what card do you have?
[21:39] <wols> DANYAL: what is your actual problem?
[21:39] <haresh_> edbian, how do i check that
[21:40] <DANYAL> wols i have script in mac format i want to convert in simple english format
[21:40] <edbian> haresh_: sudo lspci -k
[21:40] <edbian> haresh_: It is a lot of output
[21:40] <wols> DANYAL: "simple english format" is gibberish. try again
[21:40] <bazhang> DANYAL, script that does what
[21:40] <wols> DANYAL: and what is "mac format" in the first place?
[21:40] <edbian> haresh_: sudo lspci | grep Network     might be clearer
[21:40] <DANYAL> ^?ELF^A^A^A^@^
[21:40] <wols> DANYAL: that looks like the beginning of an ELF binary
[21:40] <dr_willis> DANYAL,  ELF = a binary executable
[21:40] <DANYAL> this type wording in script (^?ELF^A^A^A^@^)
[21:41] <dr_willis> its not a text file.
[21:41] <boywonder> wols, nothing is generally happening just system seems just a little slower(not much)?
[21:41] <haresh_> edbian, 05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series
[21:41] <wols> DANYAL: it's not a script. it's a compiled program
[21:41] <edbian> wols: Oh yeah, you told me that :P
[21:41] <DANYAL> Hmmm wols is it possible to recover ?
[21:41] <edbian> haresh_: sudo lspci -k   what driver is in use for the device?  What modules are available?
[21:42] <winstonw> ok $1billion questoin of the day, how do i disable notifications in xfce?
[21:42] <wols> DANYAL: recover what?
[21:42] <OmegaForte> wols, How much memory does your desktop eat? I wanna see how well I've cleaved the fat off.
[21:43] <haresh_> edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659558/
[21:43] <wols> edbian: iwlagn. and it's built into ubuntu. the only question if the right firmware is there for it to work
[21:43] <wolter> can I see, without logging out, a list of the users which are displayed in the login screen?
[21:43] <edbian> haresh_: how did you just pastebin ?
[21:43] <Eduard> Hello everyone
[21:43] <edbian> wols: what firmware packages are there?
[21:43] <haresh_> edbian, yea
[21:43] <wols> OmegaForte: I don't know and I don't care. counting bits on a virtual memory system is foolish
[21:43] <edbian> haresh_: yea?  How?!
[21:44] <paulo> hello
[21:44] <OmegaForte> wols, Jeez. I just wanted something to compare my work to..
[21:44] <OmegaForte> wols, Sorry for bothering you..
[21:44] <haresh_> edbian, i went to pastein and pasted it what were the outputs
[21:44] <Eduard> Any ideas why 11.04 restarts back to login screen if at login screen i selected stock 'Ubuntu' mode & try to login? Only Ubuntu classic, No effects works
[21:44] <edbian> haresh_: But the machine isn't online remember?
[21:44] <wols> edbian: I don't know ubuntu enough to know if they even have firmware packages. but sometimes when a wlan chip is new or so, the right firmware is not yet in ubuntu and therefore not in /lib/firmware/  in this case dmesg tells you that it's missing. but in his dmesg output (dmesg |grep iwl) there is a lot of strange stuff.
[21:44] <edbian> haresh_: You came in here asking how to get online
[21:45] <edbian> wols: do you have a paste of his dmesg?
[21:45] <Eduard> any ideas? i'm desperate, I use nvidia driver 96.43.20
[21:45] <haresh_> edbian, i am using my handphone to usb tethering
[21:45] <wols> Eduard: cause Unity cannot run (usually due to missing 3d accel) and ends again and hands control back to gdm
[21:45] <edbian> haresh_: mhmmm
[21:45] <Eduard> wols: nvidia driver is installed already, hmm
[21:45] <wols> edbian:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/659538/
[21:46] <wols> Eduard: check ~/.xsession-errors then
[21:46] <edbian> wols: thanks
[21:46] <wolter> can I see, without logging out, a list of the users which are displayed in the login screen?
[21:46] <dr_willis> wolter,  every user should be in there - so the dirs in /home/ should list them all.
[21:46] <edbian> haresh_: sudo modprobe -r iwlagn && sudo modprobe iwlagn
[21:47] <dr_willis> i guess its possible some hae a differnt home name then their username.. but  that would be rare
[21:47] <wolter> dr_willis, since a while ago, I started getting proxy and a label-less user in my login screen :S
[21:47] <dr_willis> wolter,  some sercvices install their own user also.
[21:47] <dr_willis> gdm for example has a 'gdm' user.
[21:47] <wols> wolter: getent passwd   any user with a UID >= 1000
[21:47] <Eduard> wols: http://pastebin.com/YnkH3XbJ
[21:48] <Eduard> some errors :S
[21:48] <haresh_> edbian, then
[21:48] <edbian> wols: His dmesg implies it's working fine...
[21:48] <edbian> haresh_: Is it working now?
[21:48] <wols> Eduard: only a suggestion. either unity closed down on its own or crashed. I dunno why
[21:49] <Eduard> i'll try one thing
[21:49] <wols> edbian: yes and no. too many entries imho. iwconfig implies it works fine
[21:49] <haresh_> edbian, it teying to connect nd now its says wireless netowkr disconnected
[21:49] <edbian> wols: yes, but no errors in dmesg about needed firmware.  Perhaps we should grep for something else.
[21:50] <edbian> haresh_: But it's listing networks? and you can click on them to try to connect?
[21:50] <wols> edbian: dmesg log has a fixed size. old messages got deleted. among them the loading of the wlan driver. which is where the quip about missing firmware would be if there is any
[21:50] <haresh_> edbian, i can connect to any netowkr which is not locked but any which has locks i cant connect
[21:50] <edbian> wols: mhmmm
[21:51] <edbian> haresh_: I think that's just a limitation of the driver.  It is a very new card / driver.
[21:51] <wols> haresh_: wpasupplicant installed?
[21:51] <edbian> wols: good guess
[21:51] <wols> edbian: no it's not new. and iwlagn is a very common driver
[21:52] <edbian> wols: intel 1000 isn't a new card?
[21:52] <haresh_> wols, how do i do that
[21:52] <edbian> wols: It's from 2009
[21:53] <wols> edbian: calpella platform 2009. so it's not new
[21:53] <edbian> wols: not exactly old
[21:53] <cmanns> woot
[21:53] <Eduard> wols: my fix didin't help.... but now i'm getting a new error
[21:53] <cmanns> Got ubuntu installed
[21:53] <Eduard> sec, i'll pastebin it
[21:53] <wols> edbian: it's ages. a year after natty was frozen. and it's an intel, not some POS ralink or realtek chip, or *cringe* broadcom. Intel kit is supported and supported well
[21:53] <edbian> haresh_: sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant
[21:54] <edbian> wols: I have broadcom!!! :P
[21:54] <Reaper> Do I remove something I've installed through the software center?
[21:54] <Eduard> wols: http://pastebin.com/HsAVfT7p
[21:54] <edbian> Reaper: sudo apt-get remove <packName>
[21:54] <wols> edbian: my condolences. got get a nickel and buy a real wlan chip
[21:54] <edbian> Reaper: or purge
[21:54] <bazhang> Reaper, installed how
[21:54] <haresh_> edbian, wpasupplicant is already the newest version.
[21:54] <edbian> wols: ha
[21:54] <edbian> haresh_: wols ideas?
[21:54] <Reaper> I installed it through the software center
[21:55] <haresh_> wols,  wpasupplicant is already the newest version.
[21:55] <bazhang> Reaper, sure or via synaptic package manager , or the terminal using apt-get
[21:55] <edbian> haresh_: can you pastebin dmesg again   maybe there is some info there about why it can't connect to a secure network
[21:55] <wols> put a stanza for wlan into /etc/network/interfaces and check if it connects or spits out errors on console or kernel
[21:55] <wols> also find out what the driver says on bootup
[21:55] <Reaper> ill try the terminal. thanx everyone.
[21:55] <Eduard> wols: any ideas?
[21:55] <wols> Eduard: no
[21:56] <haresh_> edbian, which one  ?
[21:56] <edbian> haresh_: which one what?
[21:57] <haresh_> edbian, u ask me to paste
[21:57] <edbian> haresh_: What are you asking me?
[21:57] <sublim21> edbian: afternoon man
[21:57] <edbian> sublim21: hello :)
[21:57] <haresh_> edbian, <edbian> haresh_: can you pastebin dmesg again   maybe there is some info there about why it can't connect to a secure network
[21:58] <astraljava> edbian: Hmm... connecting to a secure network, are we talking wireless here? Vanilla? Isn't that NetworkManager's job? Doesn't it log into syslog?
[21:58] <edbian> haresh_: put the output of dmesg here: paste.ubuntu.com
[21:58] <haresh_> edbian, how do i get tha
[21:58] <edbian> astraljava: we are talking, it is network managers job.  I have no idea where it logs
[21:58] <edbian> haresh_: run dmesg
[21:58] <edbian> you've done it before
[21:59] <edbian> astraljava: yes, wireless, yes vanilla, iwlagn driver for intel 1000
[22:00] <astraljava> $ grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog | tail -2

[22:00] <haresh_> edbian, isit sudo lspci | grep Network
[22:00] <FloodBot1> astraljava: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:00] <edbian> astraljava: beautiful :)
[22:00] <edbian> haresh_: no, dmesg
[22:00] <edbian> haresh_: just dmesg
[22:00] <edbian> haresh_: type d, then m, the s, the g, press enter
[22:00] <edbian> put an e in there
[22:00] <sublim21> alright.  im still looking for a decent lightweight html/css/js editor (with auto complete and code checking etc) that includes a file system
[22:01] <astraljava> grr, I though 3 lines were allowed. Damnit. :D
[22:01] <edbian> sublim21: includes a file system?
[22:01] <sublim21> netbeans works - but is a little, while bluefish is good but doesn't do javascript
[22:01] <chrissbx> Hi. I've tried both the mythbuntu installer CD and the xbmc live CD images, burnt to DVD-R and then CD-R, mythbuntu both in 32 bit and 64 bit versions, on my ThinkPad T61 (64 bit);
[22:01] <sublim21> edbian: yea, like it gives me a directory/file structure
[22:01] <chrissbx> in call cases, the CD/DVD starts booting, logo comes up, but after ~15 seconds the computer just reboots.
[22:01] <edbian> sublim21: oh, you  mean a file tree
[22:01] <chrissbx> Any idea?
[22:01] <edbian> sublim21: bluefish
[22:01] <chrissbx> I'm asking here since it happened with both ubuntu derivates.
[22:02] <sublim21> edbian: how can i get bluefish to check js syntax?
[22:02] <edbian> sublim21: I don't think it does
[22:02] <wols> chrissbx: what is the last thing on screen?
[22:02] <astraljava> sublim21: Have you checked geany yet? It's great for C/C++/python/whatever, but am not sure about the web tech
[22:02] <wols> chrissbx: nvidia or intel video?
[22:02] <chrissbx> wols: the logo; then it goes black and bios messages reappear. Nvidia.
[22:03] <edbian> sublim21: most of them will syntax highlight but only 1 language at a time
[22:03] <brianherman> anyone want to make a gnome2 fork with me?
[22:03] <wols> !nomodeset
[22:03] <sublim21> astraljava: no man.  i have not checked that.  bluefish was really close but no js checking
[22:03] <haresh__> edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659561/
[22:03] <wols> chrissbx: try that. and if there is a "quiet" somewhere as a parameter: remove it
[22:03] <chrissbx> Ok, will try that, thanks.
[22:03] <quidnunc> Where is the output of fsck on boot stored?
[22:04] <sublim21> edbian: Oh i dont mind one language at a time.  its just that my coding generally revolves around js  and generating a bunch of little js files
[22:04] <edbian> sublim21: js is great :)
[22:04] <sublim21> edbian: so a good js checker is vital
[22:04] <edbian> sublim21: ohh, you wanna run it... use firefox for that :P
[22:04] <bazhang> !ot | brianherman
[22:04] <edbian> sublim21: or just write your code right the first time
[22:04] <wols> quidnunc: I don't think it is stored anywhere. especially since it's a fsck: if you fsck your boot volume with /var/log is probably the one fscked and that means it's read only and the logs can't be written
[22:05] <sublim21> edbian: thats why i want a good js checker - so there are no 'first' mistakes : p
[22:05] <edbian> wols: haresh__ I have no idea
[22:05] <edbian> sublim21: :)
[22:05] <mcl0vin> in cron tab i want run cd /app2;./rmvrstTPs RMV ODD;sleep 300;./rmvrstTPs RST ODD every other day  ,i am confused on how to make it run every other day
[22:05] <wols> sublim21: you want lightweight and a ton of features. do you want a pink pony too?
[22:05] <quidnunc> wols: Could be stored in memory until disks are mounted
[22:05] <edbian> sublim21: I don't know of anything like you are looking for
[22:05] <preecher> im trying to dual boot- i used gparted to make another partition, installed kubuntu on the empty partition and all went well---then i decided to install another distro instead of kubuntu--when i do a reboot i no longer have the option of choosing between ubuntu and whatever ive installed, it only shows --is this due to one being grub2 & the other being old grub/legacy grub?
[22:05] <cmanns> So I got ubuntu installed from pxe net install
[22:05] <sublim21> wols: no.  a regular white one will do just fine
[22:06] <mcl0vin> and i keep getting crontab: error on previous line; unexpected character found in line.
[22:06] <mcl0vin> crontab: errors detected in input, no crontab file generated.
[22:06] <sublim21> edbian: im going to stick to netbeans for now and just deal with the little lag
[22:06] <cmanns> It boots and just has a flashing _, i can ctrl alt f** to another console and login and yeah
[22:06] <cmanns> any idea why its fubard?
[22:06] <edbian> sublim21: sure
[22:06] <wols> preecher: no. other distros (and ubuntu too) don't check for other linuxes usually. only for windows. you can try and reinstall grub2 frm ubuntu. maybe os-proper is better nowadays
[22:06] <wols> !fixgrub
[22:06] <sublim21> edbian: noooooo   you were supposed to be the guru.  this is irc.  its full of computer geniuses.  if irc doesn't know, THERES NO HOPE
[22:07] <ruiserra> how do I put a disk in read only
[22:07] <edbian> sublim21: Yeah, I don't think what you're looking for exists.
[22:07] <cmanns> ah it appears ubuntu didnt install xinit or anything
[22:07] <edbian> sublim21: You can code.  Write it!
[22:07] <cmanns> Anyway to install GUI setup from commandline?
[22:07] <sublim21> edbian: im thinking about it actually.
[22:07] <wols> chrissbx: xorg. and ubuntu-desktop I guess
[22:07] <astraljava> sublim21: What does bluefish not do about js? If I have a small example file, which is mostly html but has a bit of js in it, and save it either <filename>.html or <filename>.js, it does hilight the bits and pieces. But maybe you're looking for something more sophisticated, so what is that, really? I can have a look.
[22:07] <edbian> sublim21: :)
[22:07] <sublim21> but got enough projects on my plate
[22:07] <edbian> sublim21: I'm writing a IDE: http://www.ednovak.net/projects
[22:08] <edbian> sublim21: mint berry crunch
[22:08] <wols> writing an IDE is a very foolish endeavour sublim21. just buy more RAM instead. better investment
[22:08] <astraljava> Haha!
[22:08] <edbian> wols: :)
[22:08] <wols> edbian: very foolshin :P
[22:08] <wols> edbian: IDE for what?
[22:09] <edbian> wols: python so far, at this point it's more of just a text editor
[22:09] <preecher> wols thank you---ive already reinstalled ubuntu back on since i didnt know how to get back to it but if i understnd correct it doesnt matter what i install it shouldnt screw with grub?
[22:09] <endip> What's the easiest way to to install Ubuntu onto a USB drive (not the same as making a bottable usb drive for installing ubuntu on a hdd)
[22:09] <wols> preecher: I don't get what you understood. please explain it it more detail
[22:10] <stephenh> endip: just point your installation at it?
[22:10] <stephenh> (i'd imagine?)
[22:10] <edbian> endip: making a bottable usb drive for installing ubuntu on a hdd that is persistent.
[22:10] <wols> endip: plug it in and install to it. nothing about it. it will soon die tho since ubuntu writes a lot of stuff to disk all the time
[22:10] <stephenh> endip: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/a-much-easier-way-to-install-ubuntu-on-a-usb-device-stick-or-hd.html  :) ?
[22:10] <wols> endip: you can mitigate it a bit. e.g. mount noatime and such
[22:11] <crazyharry> can someone help me with updating my R in Ubuntu here ? THe #R channel is dead
[22:11] <wols> shit it's already tomorrow :(
[22:11] <ruiserra> if I use this command "mount -o remount,ro /" says it is busy
[22:11] <wols> crazyharry: state your actual problem
[22:11] <edbian> wols: no it's today still
[22:11] <stephenh> it'll always be today :D
[22:11] <astraljava> edbian: When do you ever have time for that IDE, as you're here 110% of the time?
[22:11] <stephenh> edbian: did that dude ever get his wlan working?
[22:12] <edbian> astraljava: I don't sleep because I am a robot.
[22:12] <wols> stephenh: not yet :(
[22:12] <edbian> stephenh: yes but not on encrypted networks
[22:12] <lucia_28> hi
[22:12] <edbian> stephenh: I have no idea why it doesn't work though.
[22:12] <edbian> stephenh: And I don't think he has a clue what's going on
[22:12] <edbian> lucia_28: hello
[22:12] <astraljava> Damn, I always confuse them. Like for the first 17 months, starting from Jan. 2005, I thought ubottu was a person with infinite patience.
[22:12] <preecher> wols i dont understand- i was interpreting when you said no other distro checks for other linuxs to mean if one is legacy grub & the other grub2 it doesnt matter and isnt the cause of my problem--and that i should try an reinstall grub2 after i get my 2 distros installed---but i probably am wrong
[22:12] <edbian> ha
[22:13] <edbian> astraljava: hahahaha
[22:13] <crazyharry> wols: how can I upgrade my R, I tried update.packages() and I pressed "y" on the next R version, but it seems it didnt install anything, how to I upgrade my R from 2.10 to 2.11
[22:14] <wols> preecher: each distro comes with a script which checks what other OSes are on the disk and rewrites the grub config file accordingly. usually they only check for their own distro with its kernels and Windows partitions, nothing else. os-prober since newer and part of grub2 might check for more if you are lucky, I don't know. so it is a chance to reinstall grub2 from ubuntu (not reinstall ubuntu itself) to see if it does. it won't make things wors
[22:15] <lucia_28> where do you from?
[22:15] <edbian> crazyharry: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:15] <wols> crazyharry: is R packaged for Ubuntu into a .deb?
[22:15] <edbian> crazyharry: If that doesn't do it you'll have to install it from a source besides the repos
[22:15] <crazyharry> edbian, already done that sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:16] <wols> crazyharry: where did you get your version of R from exactly?
[22:16] <bonez2046> Does the Ubuntu/Linux community have any option competing in price and convenience with the MagicJack, for inexpensive, nearly free telephone calls?
[22:16] <edbian> crazyharry: Then you have the newest version that ubuntu supports and you'll have to install from source or (if you're lucky) the website will have a .deb
[22:16] <sublim21> edbian: niiiice.  i was thinking something more along the lines of an in browser js interpreter/checker.  I don't need php, java, python etc. because all i write is html, css, and js
[22:16] <preecher> wols i follow that & will try --thanks
[22:16] <crazyharry> edbian, : I dont think they have .deb, all source
[22:16] <edbian> sublim21: firefox has a js checker built in
[22:16] <wols> sublim21: and it has firebug
[22:16] <edbian> crazyharry: Then you'll have to install from source
[22:17] <sublim21> edbian: but i will be jacking the html from your website.  I needed a basic html struture for my blog of projects as well and yours is a good starting point : )
[22:17] <edbian> sublim21: hahah, it's an honor
[22:17] <Eduard> Hello again guys
[22:18] <sublim21> edbian: i will also be getting it copyrighted and suing you for breaching my ip.  see ya in court
[22:18] <edbian> ha
[22:18] <edbian> sublim21: It will be good to meet face to face
[22:18] <Eduard> I've narrowed down my problem, any ideas why launching compiz causes X to restart?
[22:18] <guntbert> sublim21: back to support please
[22:18] <edbian> Eduard: because it's crashing the x server haha
[22:19] <szal> Eduard: what gfx card/driver?
[22:19] <Eduard> edbian: where's the error log?
[22:19] <Eduard> szal: geforce 4 mx 440 nvidia driver 96.43.20, running kernel with nopat option
[22:19] <edbian> Eduard: /var/log/Xorg
[22:19] <sublim21> astraljava: i think netbeans is what i want for now.  unfortunately im not really going to develop an ide.  All i want is a good html/css/js autocomplete with error code highlighting which bluefish does well for html/css but not js.  Netbeans does it all (although a little too resourcehungry for my meager netbook)
[22:20] <szal> Eduard: /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old), ~/.Xsession-errors
[22:20] <edbian> sublim21: Don't develop on a netbook
[22:20] <astraljava> sublim21: Okay, but can you give me an example code snippet of where it doesn't work for you? I could doublecheck it.
[22:21] <Guest52698> looking for pkg to  identify the webcam on my sat A105-S2131
[22:21] <sublim21> a={'a':'a' b:'c'}
[22:21] <szal> Eduard: in that case I suspect the nVidia driver, and as the legacy driver will only get updates for security reasons (stuff crashing X most probably isn't one), your pretty much out of luck..  you might wanna try the nouveau driver instead
[22:21] <sublim21> astraljava: see above - it misses the missing comma (a common mistake of mine)
[22:21] <astraljava> sublim21: I'd have to agree with edbian, something non-java might be good for your netbook.
[22:21] <arash_> hi
[22:21] <edbian> arash_: hello
[22:22] <ruler5> shouldn't this a={'a':'a' b:'c'} be  a={'a':'a', b:'c'} sublim21
[22:22] <sublim21> astraljava: alright.  im open to suggestions.  And btw - i like my little netbook.
[22:22] <sublim21> ruler5: exactly man.  im testing js code 'checkers'.
[22:22] <Eduard> szal: we got an starting point http://pastebin.com/7piYMs2d
[22:23] <Guest52698> My wine is online to configure but will not launch
[22:23] <crazyharry> edbian, also when I do update.packages() it shows this http://paste.ubuntu.com/659571/
[22:23] <ruler5> oh I thought that was code you were running
[22:23] <reisi> sublim21:  if you find netbeans too heavy with java6 try it with java7, openjdk that is
[22:23] <arash_> a ned help install grafik driver on ubuntu 10.04
[22:23] <edbian> crazyharry: I don't know R very well.  Just ubuntu.  I can promise that update.packages() isn't going to change the package that's installed.  Ubuntu packages and R packages are different packages.
[22:24] <sublim21> reisi: what?  i didn't understand a word of that.  linux is all new to me :/
[22:24] <ruler5> sublim21: codeblocks isn't too heavy and I think it works with most languages
[22:24] <VisezTrance> Hi, I was wondering, where's the coreutils timeout command?
[22:24] <reisi> sublim1: nm then
[22:24] <szal> Eduard: segfault, I had the same w/ the 270 driver for my GT240, upgrading to the 275 (now 280) helped; unfortunately that option doesn't exist for the legacy drivers, hence my pointer to nouveau
[22:24] <crazyharry> ok thanks edbian , I think in the server the R wasnt installed in the regular directory rather somewhere else, thats why upgrading is becoming a hassle
[22:25] <edbian> crazyharry: ummm perhaps
[22:25] <edbian> crazyharry: You can't upgrade because you're already at the newest version ubuntu offers I think
[22:25] <VisezTrance> there's a timeout binary in the repo, but it has a different syntax
[22:25] <Guest52698> I ressurected the toshiba A105 and the wifi will not come up on XP
[22:25] <astraljava> sublim21: Okay, let me try that on geany.
[22:26] <jrib> VisezTrance: /usr/bin/timeout is from coreutils here
[22:26] <Guest52698> SO i made a partition for ubi and put XP on the second part and use wifi in ubi
[22:26] <edbian> Guest52698: Just don't use windows xp
[22:27] <sublim21> astraljava: well maybe it is working.  im not used to code syntax.  it seems that when i added the comma the key in the object went to green.  Im used to netbeans huge red marks letting me know where i screwed up
[22:27] <VisezTrance> I kind of doubt it. I got the command installed but it's not the right one http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/timeout-invocation.html
[22:27] <Guest52698> I can hit my router from my ac bedroom and beat the heat
[22:27] <sublim21> astraljava: i'll check out geany as well
[22:27] <szal> Eduard: your only other option would be upgrading the gfx card to a GF6 or GF7, which probably isn't worth the money in the long run
[22:27] <Guest52698> now I want to do remote to my lan by wine
[22:27] <astraljava> sublim21: Okay, neither of them make any difference to the hilighting whether there's the ',' in between or not. If you'd like some, then those are not for you. Not sure any editor does, really.
[22:28] <Guest52698> wine is online but will not launch
[22:28] <jrib> VisezTrance: that's what I see when I run « timeout --help ».  Why do you doubt it?
[22:28] <Guest52698> I want to pig out with 2gig RAM and 250 gig hd
[22:29] <Guest52698> What I can never do on XP is easy on ubi
[22:30] <Guest52698> I did 90 degree rotate on 200 pix in batch with one selection
[22:30] <edbian> Guest52698: Do you need Ubuntu support?
[22:31] <bonez2046> is there a better channel to ask linux telephony questions?
[22:31] <Guest52698> I want to know why my wine will not launch
[22:31] <hylian> is there a way to control unity's desktop effects, without switching to unity 2d?
[22:31] <edbian> Guest52698: Wine is not application that launches alone.  It launches other programs (.exe's usually)
[22:31] <Guest52698> Hi edbian
[22:31] <edbian> Guest52698: oh hello
[22:32] <Guest52698> I tried to launch treepad.exe and vbox from wine
[22:32] <edbian> Guest52698: wine treepad.exe   does not work?  ask in #winehq
[22:32] <hylian> Guest52698, you tried to launch vbox from wine?
[22:33] <Guest52698> I did
[22:33] <edbian> hylian: Let's agree that is insane
[22:33] <Guest52698> I will If you will
[22:33] <hylian> Guest52698, why?
[22:33] <endip> wols: so if I run ubuntu off of a USB you think it will die really soon? How soon?
[22:34] <endip> stephenh, thanks for that link btw.
[22:34] <Guest52698> I want to remote desk to my lan 30 ft away in the heat away from ac
[22:34] <hylian> edbian, i agree
[22:34] <edbian> Guest52698: I think you need a vocab lesson
[22:34] <Guest52698> so I should go to winehq
[22:34] <edbian> Guest52698: For help with wine, yes
[22:35] <sublim21> astraljava: appreciate the effort man.  After playing with bluefish for a little bit just now, i think it is what im looking.  It's lighter than netbeans and does almost everything i want.  much appreciated man
[22:35] <Guest52698> ATB EDBIAN
[22:35] <edbian> Guest52698: pardon me?
[22:35] <Guest52698> ALL THE BEST
[22:35] <edbian> mhmm
[22:35] <edbian> GOODBYE
[22:35] <Guest52698> SE YA
[22:35] <hylian> sublim21, yeah, i like blue fish too. my fave ide.
[22:36] <leftist> can someone give me some direction here? http://pastebin.com/UeGZMH6s
[22:36] <astraljava> sublim21: Good if it works for you. I agree, much lighter, and since it's directed towards webdevel, I'd have been surprised if it didn't do js as it should. :)
[22:36] <VisezTrance> I don't know, I guess that it's just weird having the same binary provided by the core utils package, yet it behaves differently.
[22:36] <hylian> is there a way to control unity's desktop effects, without switching to unity 2d?
[22:36] <leftist> i thought i resovled it but it did it again and i have a ton of work on that drive.
[22:36] <endip> wols, How fast will a USB drive running Ubuntu fail? Does it matter if I use ext2 without journaling?
[22:36] <leftist> apparantly this drive had firewire included with it but i dont have a firewire cable and am using the usb option.
[22:37] <edbian> hylian: ccsm  ?
[22:38] <leftist> i dont have a windows machine aroiund and i tried via vbox xp and it doesnt resovlve the issue. any ideas?
[22:38] <phateba4723> ccsm
[22:38] <hylian> edbian, i'll try that, thanks.
[22:39] <edbian> hylian: the package name is compizconfig-settings-manager
[22:39] <endip> Does anyone know how long a USB flash drive running ubuntu will last? If it lasts 6 of constant use (rarely rebooting) that would be fine.
[22:39] <sublim21> its simple and does what i want so kudos for the suggestion.  although im waiting on this new kick ass ide i just read about called mint berry crunch ; )
[22:39] <phateba4723> What countries are you guys come from?
[22:39] <edbian> sublim21: :D
[22:39] <hylian> phateba4723, thanks as well.
[22:40] <edbian> sublim21: You're a developer.  The code is up on github, I think you can figure it out
[22:40] <sublim21> u.s.
[22:40] <leftist> http://pastebin.com/UeGZMH6s
[22:40] <phateba4723> I'm not goog at English...
[22:40] <sublim21> edbian:  actually im not.  i got into web development like a little over 2 years ago as a hobby.  my 9-5 is in other engineering
[22:40] <edbian> ahhh
[22:40] <edbian> neat
[22:41] <sublim21> but i've written a ton of code i think is awesome, just want to get it out there, for others to mock : p
[22:41] <sublim21> is general chatting in this room frowned upon?
[22:42] <leftist> this room is frowned upon in general
[22:42] <sublim21> leftist: haha
[22:42] <jrib> sublim21: #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat
[22:42] <leftist> Because i sure will say what i think
[22:43] <Reaper> whats the terminal command to remove a ap?
[22:43] <leftist> i posted my post 2 times and it's still about chit chat paddy wack
[22:43] <sublim21> k.  sorry all.
[22:43] <lucia_28> _ruben: hola,
[22:43] <astraljava> sublim21: #ubuntu-offtopic for general, #ubuntu-app-devel for, application development, duh. The thing is, not one of us was a programmer before we started. A lot of it comes from peer review. So, yeah, don't be afraid to toss the code out there.
[22:43] <Ainslee> hai, i'm somewhat new to ubuntu (slowly becoming a linux gal), just trying to install KVM at the moment. It says i need to log out and log back in again for installation. Are they talking about exiting the terminal completely, or is detaching ok?
[22:44] <Generic_Dumbass> When I unplug my laptop, Ubuntu suspends.  Why?
[22:44] <bonez2046> Ainslee: Congrats and my hats off to you!!
[22:44] <astraljava> Generic_Dumbass: Check the Power Management settings.
[22:44] <leftist> because your a generic dunbass
[22:44] <leftist> i cant get any direction
[22:44] <leftist> ok
[22:45] <sublim21> astraljava: cool man.   Technical fields tends to attract kind individuals so im not too worried about being 'massacred'.
[22:45] <vsync> ah, lately so much mad in here
[22:45] <Generic_Dumbass> astraljava: I did.  I don't see any option for that.
[22:45] <sublim21> YOU TAKE THAT BACK VSYNC
[22:45] <Ainslee> bonez2046: thanks :) trying to teach myself so i'm not always having to rely on the bf to administer stuff :P
[22:46] <Generic_Dumbass> Unless it is interpreting this as 'close laptop lid'
[22:46] <vsync> technical fields tend to attract murderers :( (reiser)
[22:46] <astraljava> Generic_Dumbass: Could the battery be broken? The only thing that comes to mind, with default settings: "When the battery is critically low: Suspend"
[22:46] <ubuntubitch> sup my niggas
[22:47] <Generic_Dumbass> Also, when I hit power button to restore from suspend, it shuts back down into suspend once every single time, and only then do I get the restore when I hit it a second time
[22:47] <vsync> Oh well, guess i gotta go with leftist here afterall =D this channel is probably frowned upon in general ;D
[22:47] <sublim21> !terminal
[22:47] <poisionarms> ubuntu noob here, just got it today - how can i check the life of my battery? i cant fine a battery icon anywhere...
[22:47] <poisionarms> find, rather
[22:47] <astraljava> vsync: This is a busy channel. There's few who help, compared to those who need it. Please assist, if you can.
[22:48] <Reaper> I'd like to but I wont be much help lol
[22:48] <vsync> poisionarms well there's a file under /proc ... Can't remember the path, just check the contents of that dir
[22:48] <Reaper> although I just removed some app's from the terminal so now I feel super cool..
[22:48] <ubuntubitch> damn
[22:48] <astraljava> poisionarms: Check System | Preferences | Power Management, General tab. What does it say on the Notification Area section?
[22:49] <sublim21> poisionarms: hey man.  i just installed ubuntu myself.  try the battery app listed on this blog. -> http://sites.google.com/site/mtrons/howtos/eeepc-1015pn
[22:49] <poisionarms> vsync: maybe i should have been more clear, im a linux noob all together
[22:49] <dr_willis> poisionarms,  theres also some extra battery tools in the software center.
[22:49] <astraljava> vsync: Thank you! That's the attitude.
[22:49] <vsync> poisionarms ok hold on a sec
[22:49] <dr_willis> poisionarms,  it could be the battery is not showing because you are plugged into power.   Normally theres one at the top right.
[22:49] <bunder_> #jambi
[22:49] <poisionarms> astraljava: thanks
[22:49] <sublim21> poisionarms: although you should probably listen to others in this chatroom.  theyre much more knowledgable.
[22:50] <poisionarms> thanks all
[22:50] <vsync> poisionarms fire up a terminal and: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
[22:50] <endip> Does anyone know how long a USB flash drive running ubuntu will last? If it lasts 6 of constant use (rarely rebooting) that would be fine.
[22:50] <poisionarms> speaking of terminal and commands, is there a linux terminal cheat sheet anywhere i can download?
[22:51] <endip> *6 months
[22:51] <vsync> poisionarms there's lots really, simple googling will get the job done
[22:51] <poisionarms> thanks
[22:53] <Reaper> you can do a google search for terminal commands and all kinds of stuff will pop up.
[22:53] <TBotNik> All: Guys another box will let me boot HDD, can not login through XWin, but with Alt+F1 logins in fine.  ???  Any ideas?
[22:54] <kisuke> is there any way to stop the login sound from playing?
[22:54] <dr_willis> kisuke,  you could find and remove it. :)
[22:54] <kisuke> dr_willis: any idea where to start?
[22:54] <trism> kisuke: System Settings/Startup Applications, uncheck the GNOME Login Sound option
[22:55] <dr_willis> google :) is where i just saw --> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/disable-the-login-sound-on-ubuntu/
[22:55] <kisuke> trism: did that, no change.
[22:55] <TBotNik> Originally the chmod on sudoers and sudoers.d was 775, but got that changed to 440 as should be.  supspecting something else in X11 got permissions changed.  What do I look for?
[22:55] <vsync> TBotNik well does X fire at all?
[22:55] <trism> kisuke: unless you mean the drumbeat on the login screen
[22:55] <kisuke> dr_willis: thanks
[22:56] <dr_willis> file may be in /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/
[22:56] <TBotNik> vsync: Get the login screen and that is all, fails login every time
[22:56] <dr_willis> i dont think its gdm thats playing the sound.. its the users stuff.
[22:56] <kisuke> trism: that and the extremely loud i have no clue th\what it it\s on login.
[22:56] <TBotNik> vsync: But login at tty is good.
[22:57] <vsync> yeah, hmm
[22:57] <TBotNik> vsync: Was originally thinking bad/corrupted passwd file but not after getting in on tty.
[22:59] <vsync> yes, so xdm doesn't really prompt wrong pass?
[22:59] <vsync> it just won't launch the de?
[23:01] <vsync> TBotNik could you maybe throw your ~/.xsessions-errors into a pastebin?
[23:02] <Felipe_Brz> Does anyone run Oracle Express Edition on Ubuntu? How did it go?
[23:02] <astraljava> TBotNik: If you can login via tty, then go look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/syslog, and yeah, like vsync suggested, your .xsession-errors
[23:02] <endip> Does anyone know how if running ubuntu from a flash drive would cause the flash drive to fail quicly? How quickly?
[23:03] <TBotNik> vsync: Looking at it
[23:03] <endip> Anyone know if file fragmentation happens on ext2?
[23:04] <trism> kisuke: the drumbeat on the login screen is configured in System Settings/Login Screen, if it looks already disabled, toggle the checkbox, it some times bugs unless you set it once
[23:04] <italoxp> endip: it happens on every file system
[23:05] <dr_willis> endip,  depends on how much actual writeing is done to the flash drive.
[23:05] <dr_willis> endip,  and fragm,entation is normally not an issue
[23:06] <dr_willis> endip,  ive ran lubuntu from flash for several months at a time. with no issues.
[23:07] <endip> dr_willis, thanks, that's all I need to know. I'll be happy to be able to run 11.04 from my usb flash drive until 11.10 comes out.
[23:07] <mka> endip: /nick mkanyicy
[23:08] <Guest40473> Question: I have a 30Gig volume i would like to compress and store on a USB drive - will I have trouble accessing individual files or directories from it later?
[23:08] <Guest40473> i only have 4gig ram, what are the memory requirements of file roller, opening something like that
[23:09] <mkanyicy> Guest40473: thats enough memory
[23:09] <dr_willis> a bigger question Guest40473  will be how much actual compression will you get. and will it be worth the effort to compress it.
[23:10] <dr_willis> 30gb of text files.. compresses a lot.. 30gb of video/muzack  not so much
[23:11] <ChairMao> i honestly can't see the point of running an #ubuntu #linux etc on a #sandybridge system, since when in linux so demanding? any one care to enlighten me?
[23:11] <Guest40473> operating systems are not demanding,
[23:11] <vsync> #twitter#much?
[23:11] <ChairMao> sorry!
[23:11]  * dr_willis missed the actual #question.
[23:11] <ChairMao> but it is a serious question
[23:12] <ChairMao> well
[23:12]  * dr_willis is a nittwit i guess. :)
[23:12] <Felipe_Brz> Has anyone had the experience of running Oracle Express Edition on ubuntu? If so, how did it go?
[23:12] <vsync> well... another question would be what's so "demanding" in other systems that sandy bridge sells as good as it sells?
[23:12] <acidrain> ok i have a serious issue. when my box loses connection, how can i make it automatically try to reconnect. and keep trying to reconnect until it does?
[23:13] <ChairMao> e.g. the adobe suite, gaming all geared and set up for quad cores why would i install ubuntu et al on an i52500k?
[23:13] <Matcou> is there a direct install for ubuntu? (where it doesn't have to be on a flash drive/cd)
[23:13] <acidrain> Matcou, no
[23:13] <vsync> well there you see, neither of those is really an operating system now is it?
[23:13] <dr_willis> Matcou,  thats how its normally installed to a hard drive.. what are you refering to?
[23:13] <vsync> ChairMao it has nothing to do with the OS, and everything to do with the purpose
[23:14] <dr_willis> 'tools' use the power.. not the os. any Powar. taken by the os is being stolen from what the tools could be using. :)
[23:14] <vsync> ^he said it better than me ;<
[23:14] <dr_willis> Ned Moar Powar!
[23:14] <Matcou> so if I don't have a flashdrive/cd with suitable space I can't install ubuntu
[23:15] <dr_willis> Matcou,  i think you need to be a bit more clear on what you are doing...
[23:15]  * szal suspects that dr_willis had a clown for dinner ;)
[23:15] <dr_willis> szal,  Oxycotin.
[23:15] <Matcou> installing ubuntu alongside my current os
[23:15] <acidrain> can anyone help me?
[23:15] <dr_willis> Matcou,  and whats yoru current os and hard disk layout?
[23:16] <acidrain> how do i make ubuntu automatically connect to the router?
[23:16] <Matcou> Windows 7, and by hard disk layout what do you exactly mean?
[23:16] <acidrain> and keep trying to connect until it does
[23:16] <dr_willis> You got 1 hard drive and it has win7 on it?
[23:16] <Kiwini> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer
[23:16] <klossor> acidrain: hit edit connections, goto your wireless connection and edit properties, inside mark the checkbox for "connect automatically"
[23:16] <Matcou> yes
[23:16] <dr_willis> Matcou,  are you on a ubuntu live cd right now? or in windows?
[23:17] <Matcou> in windows..i don't have a cd/flash drive with sufficient space for ubuntu
[23:17] <dr_willis> Matcou,    the term cd/flash is confuseing... all you need is a single 'cd' to burn the ubuntu cd to...
[23:17] <vsync> I'd need a sandy bridge so i can like, compile my kernel with -j 64 and watch 3x 1080p pron all over my screens without any twitching
[23:17] <dr_willis> Matcou,  or a 1gb flash to make a usb flash installer...
[23:17] <vsync> at the same time that is
[23:17] <Matcou> it didn't fit on a 1gb flash
[23:17] <Matcou> already tried
[23:18] <dr_willis> it should fit on a 1gb flash if you dont make a peristant save file.
[23:18] <dr_willis> unless you downloaded the dvd iso.
[23:18] <dr_willis> burn it to cd then i guess..
[23:18] <littlegirl> Hey there, does anyone know of a program (command-line or otherwise) that can be used to capture the mouse within a specified window in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx?
[23:18] <Kiwini> Can't he just use the windows installer? o_O
[23:19] <dr_willis> Kiwini,  i dont reccomend wubi.. ever...
[23:19] <Matcou> ^i was wanting an installer that I could just boot off of windows
[23:19] <Matcou> if there is one
[23:19] <vsync> littlegirl I *might* know, depends how little you really are...
[23:19] <dr_willis> Matcou,  theres wubi. but if wubi breaks.. good luck fixing it.
[23:19] <dr_willis> !wubi
[23:19] <littlegirl> vsync: Do you know of one?
[23:19] <Matcou> if it breaks, what will it do
[23:19] <dr_willis> Matcou,  you could just use virtualbox and have ubunti inside virtualboxc.
[23:19] <Matcou> mess up my windows?
[23:19] <dr_willis> I dont use wubi. so cant really say much more then  my reccomendation to avoid it.
[23:20] <Kiwini> Worked fine on my Win7 machine
[23:20] <dr_willis> it shouldent break windows.. but wineodws can have a tendancy to break wubi.
[23:20] <dr_willis> I see a dozen+ 'wubi broke...' type questions in here a week. and rarely see one get fixed.
[23:20] <Kiwini> ouch
[23:20] <vsync> Nah, can't really shoot one out from the top of my head littlegirl... I might be motivated to do some research in case you'd happen to be wearing a slutty school-girl outfit, and you'd be preferably under the age of 15
[23:20] <acidrain> klossor, i did. it still dont connect by itself
[23:20] <dr_willis> If you want to test out ubuntu and not do a normal install. then vbox is very handy.
[23:20] <astraljava> vsync: Please.
[23:21] <klossor> acidrain: when you entered the key wep/wpa, did you hit "remember pass" check box?
[23:21] <coz_> littlegirl left,, darn
[23:21] <acidrain> klossor, well i have a bridge. so its a wired connection
[23:21] <klossor> hmmm
[23:21] <dr_willis> Matcou,  i have also seen windows7 systems that use 4 primary partitions. that makes installing ubuntu to the HD in the 'normal' way a bit of a problem also.
[23:22] <vsync> Sowwy :< I'll blame the society. 2:20AM here, after a long day at work! Well, cheerio and night night
[23:22] <TBotNik> astraljava vsync: PB at: http://pastebin.com/VgdmNzv9
[23:22] <vsync> oh, damn, well
[23:22] <klossor> acidrain: not sure why a wired connect isnt connecting...
[23:22] <Felipe_Brz> How can I check whether my Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit version, from the command line?
[23:22] <IdleOne> Felipe_Brz: what is the output of uname -a
[23:23] <acidrain> klossor, well its through a bridge. so technically its a wired wireless connection lol
[23:23] <acidrain> but the point is, its not automatically trying to connect continuously
[23:23] <klossor> acidrain: lol, sounds tricky
[23:23] <acidrain> cause sometimes a problem may happen between the bridge and the router
[23:23] <jefimenko> i need to send mail through a relay server (for cron jobs etc.) does anyone know of a lightweight package that does this? it's for a virtualized server, so something with a small footprint would be nice
[23:23] <vsync> TBotNik you didn't paste xsessions-errors?
[23:23] <acidrain> i think its seriously the router. but it should still always try to connect
[23:24] <acidrain> my thing is that when i finally get to my box, its not trying to connect
[23:24] <TBotNik> vsync: Just sent you link
[23:24] <acidrain> i wouldnt be as mad everytime if i just saw it attempting to fix something
[23:24] <Matcou> so if I were to install ubuntu from a live disk, Id want to create a partition besides windows 7 first?
[23:24] <TBotNik> Repeating: astraljava vsync: PB at: http://pastebin.com/VgdmNzv9
[23:24] <vsync> yes, but that's just syslog and xorglog?
[23:25] <TBotNik> vsync: K what do you mean?
[23:25] <klossor> acidrain: nasty :/ I really would be only guessing at this point, not sure what way to go about that one...
[23:25] <vsync> your ~/.xsessions-errors -file
[23:25] <acidrain> klossor, and its hard to google for good results
[23:25] <acidrain> but thx anyways
[23:25] <acidrain> girlfriend is bitching, g2g
[23:26] <klossor> np, cya
[23:26] <TBotNik> vsync: Oh missed the ~/ part so was looking in wrong place.
[23:26] <Felipe_Brz> IdleOne: I don't have access to my server from where I am... But should I get a specific output from uname -a if it's 32 or 64 bit?
[23:26] <cmanns> Any tips to speed up older ata laptop drive? I set deadline, sped up a bit but still laggy
[23:27] <IdleOne> Felipe_Brz: if you see i386 it is 32bit and x86_64 will be 64 bit
[23:27] <Felipe_Brz> IdleOne: oh ok thank you very much
[23:27] <vsync> cmanns check whether you're using the fastest dma-mode you can
[23:27] <IdleOne> Felipe_Brz: welcome
[23:28] <cmanns> Will do very soon
[23:28] <Felipe_Brz> IdleOne: just to check. Tha gives me the OS version, yes? Not the processor..
[23:28] <cmanns> This also seemed to help even though internet says its for ssd's with deadline "echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch
[23:28] <cmanns> "
[23:28] <w30> cmanns, install that worm that sped up the centrifuges of the Iranian nuclear site?
[23:28] <Morgz> stux
[23:28] <cmanns> w30, no I was meaning to ensure it's using uber dma :P
[23:28] <IdleOne> Felipe_Brz: correct
[23:28] <cmanns> it feels like ata/33 slow
[23:29] <Felipe_Brz> IdleOne: k thanks
[23:29] <IdleOne> Felipe_Brz: you will see something similar to: 3.0.0-7-server #9-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 23:09:08 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[23:29] <vsync> I hope it's not a fujitsu-laptop. Had an Amilo once, couldn't set a DMA on the dvd-drive at all. Was really funny trying to play dvd-movies on it :)
[23:30] <Felipe_Brz> IdleOne: ty
[23:30] <szal> IdleOne: server w/ kernel 3.0? :o
[23:30] <IdleOne> szal: yes, I run +1
[23:30] <vsync> :D
[23:31] <szal> IdleOne: yes, but on a server?
[23:31] <MaxHR> does ubuntu have a gui to config hardware settings?  (like graphics, touchpad settings... etc)
[23:31] <IdleOne> szal: yeah.
[23:31] <vsync> well, if it isn't a production server, doesn't matter too much
[23:33] <spankbot> What should I use to convert mkv to MPEG-2?
[23:33] <vsync> ffmpeg?
[23:34] <alexThunder> or winff if you need a gui
[23:36] <cmanns> So installing *ubuntu-desktop via apt-get will setup gui?
[23:36] <spankbot> I'll look into those
[23:36] <vsync> cmanns gnome afaik
[23:36] <ogramses> yes chriss
[23:36] <ogramses> cmann is chris?
[23:38] <bluezone> would it be possible to release one of my programs in the repositories (if yes, how?)
[23:38] <cmanns> ogramses, no
[23:38] <bluezone> into*
[23:38] <bluezone> Tristam, :O
[23:38] <uRock> !unity
[23:38] <TBotNik> vsync: Updated PB at: http://pastebin.com/tYy0J9jB.  Error is can't open .profile
[23:39] <IdleOne> !dev | bluezone
[23:39] <tpw_rules> does anybody know how to forcefully unbind things from ports?
[23:39] <TBotNik> Why???
[23:39] <cmanns> vsync, I installed xubuntu-desktop lol
[23:39] <bluezone> IdleOne, i really don't think i have what it take to become a core ubuntu developper :S
[23:39] <cmanns> I thought kubuntu-desktop and such were fine to use as alternative to stock
[23:40] <vsync> TBotNik check the permissions of that file? ls -al ~/ | grep profile ?
[23:40] <TBotNik> vsync: Permission are at 775 and owner is root is that the problem?
[23:40] <IdleOne> bluezone: that link should have info on getting a package included in the repos
[23:40] <Kiwini> !classic
[23:40] <MaxHR> Can anyone suggest a version of ubuntu that is very small, with a light desktop, like puppy linux, with the basics like web and media player simple word processor etc?
[23:41] <uRock> MaxHR, lubuntu
[23:41] <Kiwini> huh, didn't know you could do it that easily
[23:41] <vsync> TBotNik prolly, depends on the group I guess, but use chown to change the owned
[23:41] <vsync> owner*
[23:41] <uRock> !lubuntu > MaxHR
[23:42] <cmanns> or should I install stock GUI too so xubuntu-desktop works right?
[23:42] <TBotNik> vsync: No owner:group is 1000:users, which I think is correct, except I made a change in sudoers, which added this user with sudo, so maybe need to comment that out?
[23:42] <alexThunder> cmanns: what are you trying to do?
[23:42] <uRock> I switched to ubuntu-desktop from xubuntu-desktop, so going the opposite shouldn't be that bda
[23:43] <cmanns> alexThunder, my pxe net install didn't get a GUI, so I thought apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will fix that
[23:43] <cmanns> vsync says no you need gnome
[23:43] <vsync> no he doesn't >:O
[23:44] <th0r> cmanns: try installing xfce4 and thunar
[23:44] <stein-on> hmm which audio player do you use with unity desktop?
[23:44] <vsync> and yeah sorry, i missed the *ubuntu -part there cmanns :<
[23:44] <cmanns> Ah so then I'm fine vsync ?
[23:44] <vsync> TBotNik just try sudo chown ndavis:ndavis /home/ndavis/.profile
[23:44] <alexThunder> afaik it should be fine
[23:44] <rhizmoe_> cmanns: maybe apt-get install gdm
[23:45] <vsync> probably, i don't know what that xubuntu -meta has... XFCE I guess, i never use those metapkgs myself so I can't tell :x
[23:45] <cmanns> well its not done with this apt-get xubuntu-desktop yet once it is ill see
[23:45] <cmanns> it installed 500mB of stuff so it seems right
[23:45] <TBotNik> vsync: logged in via liveCD, so can't do that.  Still fighting the inet connect on wlan0, but this waylayed me.
[23:45] <vsync> TBotNik well you can always chroot
[23:46] <TBotNik> vsync: What I was thinking, got a script here somewhere for that.
[23:47] <vsync> stein-on banshee... though it's crap. But at least ipod sync works, somewhat. And spotify :)
[23:47] <Guest19859> trying to get my conexant falcon2 capture card to watch tv
[23:47] <alexThunder> why do u think it's crap, vsync?
[23:48] <vsync> it chokes on my music library, literally. Whereas spotify doesn't, actually
[23:48] <Guest19859> mythtv does not work on my ub untu 10.10
[23:48] <vsync> my music lib is quite large, granted. But banshee is hella bloat too
[23:49] <alexThunder> true
[23:49] <coz_> vsync,  try clementine ,, I believe it is a smaller footprint
[23:50] <Guest19859> how to install mythtv on ubuntu 10.10 i'm a noobie
[23:50] <vsync> only reason why i use banshee is because it has even a moderate support for syncing my ipod. Though it's always a coin-flip whether the music gets transferred or not. However, i'm not gonna use a VM+itunes just because of that, so...
[23:50] <alexThunder> :D
[23:50] <stein-on> vsync, don't have an ipod :D => actually testing clementine
[23:50] <Guest19859> quit
[23:51] <alexThunder> i heard Guayadeque is pretty good for large music libs and afaik it also supports ipods
[23:51] <vsync> +1 for the name I can't type
[23:51] <alexThunder> copy&paste 4tw :>
[23:51] <alexThunder> can't type it either
[23:52] <vsync> mhm, well it looks pretty clean, looks gtk (+1), maybe I oughta give that a shot
[23:54] <vsync> well, night night everyone. 3AM closing in here. \o_
[23:54] <Thaumx> hello everyone
[23:54] <alexThunder> gn8
[23:54] <Thaumx> I was hoping to get some help with a Ubuntu software center problem
[23:55] <Thaumx> It seems it can't connect to the server to download purchased software. "Failed to download repository information"
[23:55] <GTAXL> .swf files or anything that has to do with flash won't work on my server.
[23:55] <coz_> Thaumx,  let me check it here hold on
[23:55] <GTAXL> And I'm talking about apache2
[23:56] <Thaumx> thanks coz_
[23:56] <cmanns> vsync, almost
[23:56] <cmanns> it came up with hideous login screen, says invalid session ubuntu
[23:56] <cmanns> maybe gdm needed?
[23:56] <GTAXL> yes. sudo restart gdm
[23:57] <cmanns> well i just rebooted so if gdm was there it'd be working?
[23:57] <coz_> Thaumx,   ok here,, it is connecting to the Ubuntu single sign on  site,, did it do that for you first?
[23:57] <GTAXL> should
[23:57] <GTAXL> I just ssh into it. :P
[23:58] <cmanns> man this laptops slower then shit lol
[23:58] <Thaumx> single sign on site?
[23:58] <Thaumx> it seemed to sign on fine both times I purchased something, but neither one would download.
[23:58] <lonewulf`> Update: im currently on day 3 without booting in winxp...thanks everyone for being there for me the last couple days!!!
[23:58] <lonewulf`> :))
[23:58] <Thaumx> I've tried sudo apt-get update and it has the same problem
[23:58] <coz_> Thaumx,  it is a login  site for purchasing software,, I believe ,, however I have not used it at all
[23:58] <cmanns> Do I want lightdm or gdm?
[23:58] <coz_> Thaumx,  oh?
[23:59] <cmanns> im assuming lightdm was the cheesy looking one i just saw?
[23:59] <Thaumx> yes, just a second and I'll get the error
