[00:02] <notica> hi there
[00:03] <notica> i have some question about screens and video card
[00:03] <bambanx> hello
[00:04] <notica> hi there
[00:04] <sebsebseb> hi
[00:04] <Dr_Willis_> jello
[00:04] <uns0b1ll> okay but how can i get CUBE desktop to turn?
[00:04] <bambanx> guys i installed this editor http://editra.org/download doing: python setup.py install
[00:05] <Dr_Willis_> the cube can break unity..  seen that happen in here befor. :)
[00:05] <bambanx> i can run tipyng on console editra, how can i do a shortcut?
[00:05] <Socky_> dan@caffeine:~/.goldenpod$ set PATH=$PATH;/home/dan/.local/bin/
[00:05] <Dr_Willis_> I thought it was alt-shift drag the mouse around or the arrow keys
[00:05] <Socky_> -bash: /home/dan/.local/bin/: is a directory
[00:05] <Socky_> how do i add that to my path?
[00:06] <Dr_Willis_> Socky_:  if you put stuff in /home/usernam/bin   it will be auto added to the path
[00:06] <Quantum_Ion> your path is in .profile or the system wide path is in /etc/profile
[00:06] <Dr_Willis_> Socky_:  edit your .bashrc or .profile to add other stuff to the path
[00:06] <WHAT_UP> so brasero burner managed to burn 1.5GB out of a 770 MB iso file...
[00:06] <notica> any how know what i need to do to get higher res, whit intel mobile 950GME express
[00:06] <Socky_> ok
[00:08] <tim167> hi, can someone help me mount or repair a partition?
[00:08] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis_, That rotating CUBE gimmick is just that a gimmick/eye candy really not much use for that kind of stuff
[00:08] <Quantum_Ion> tim167, What are you trying to do ?
[00:08] <Jasonn> and I have more than enough CPU power to run it, as well as ram
[00:08] <Jasonn> I have a problem with nautilus. It keeps freezing
[00:08] <Jasonn> and I have more than enough CPU power to run it, as well as ram
[00:09] <Jasonn> ^^ sorry for repeat
[00:09] <tim167> Quantum_Ion:  i get 'you must specify a filesystem type' but when i try -t ext3 or -t ext4 it gives: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3"
[00:09] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, uninstall nautilus and reinstall it using the Synaptic Package manager
[00:09] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: Can I do it through terminal??
[00:09] <lwizardl> is there a way to stop external devices from having a hidden trash folder ?
[00:09] <tim167> Quantum_Ion: it's a disk that won't boot anymore, and i now try to mount it on another machine, but it won't...
[00:10] <Jasonn> lwizardl: Nope,
[00:10] <tim167> Quantum_Ion: there are other partitions on the disk that are ok...
[00:10] <Jasonn> lwizardl: But you can delete the whole folder
[00:10] <Quantum_Ion> tim167, What operating system was on the disk before ?
[00:10] <Jasonn> if it gets cluttered
[00:10] <notica> how do i fix the video card to a netbook =)
[00:10] <tim167> Quantum_Ion: ubuntu 10.10 i believe
[00:10] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: Can I do it through terminal??
[00:11] <glebihan> Jasonn, sure you can
[00:11] <Jasonn> notica: Whats wrong with it?
[00:11] <auero> Would anyone know why ubuntu/samba isn't showing large files I have shared? 10gb are fine but 25gb are invisible
[00:11] <Jasonn> glebihan: Thanks :)
[00:11] <notica>  when i connect my 22" screen i cant get more then 800x600 res
[00:12] <tp43> my laptop dvd burner is broken I think, cause I can't boot from it, and all cd's show up as blank
[00:12] <Jasonn> notica: Do you know if the drivers are installed??
[00:12] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Did you have Grub2 installed on the hard disk ?
[00:12] <glebihan> tim167, what does "sudo blkid" show as file system type for that partition
[00:12] <notica> no
[00:12] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: nope
[00:13] <Jasonn> notica: Go to the top right corner of your screen, and click on the power icon. Select from the list system settings, afterwhich, go to additional drivers.
[00:13] <Jasonn> notica: If you are missing anything, it will show up there, it might take like 10 mins to load up for the first time though
[00:14] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, You might need a partition tool like Gparted to fix that issue -> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[00:14] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: Available from the repos??
[00:14] <kroq-gar78> notica: that might be because it's trying to mirror the images on both the netbook and monitor, so it chose a common resolution.
[00:15] <glebihan> Jasonn, Quantum_Ion was gonna say, gparted is in the repos
[00:15] <Jasonn> ok, ill get it now
[00:16] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Or http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/ just becareful screwing around with your partitions and your tools
[00:16] <ZombieRamen> i'm having a problem where glc isn't encoding glc videos properly
[00:16] <Jasonn> ill go with the gparted
[00:16] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: So what exactly does it do?
[00:16] <ZombieRamen> it's just stopping in the middle of encoding, only outputting a small amount of the video to a compressed file
[00:17] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, It reads and writes filesystem partitions like NTFS, MSDOS, EXT3, EXT4 and UFS
[00:17] <Jordan_U> Jasonn: What are you trying to accomplish?
[00:17] <Jasonn> Jordan_U: For nautilus not to take hours, or successfully open
[00:18] <Jasonn> not to take hours to, or successfully open *
[00:18] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, If that doesn't work your hard disk could be corrupted bad sectors, etc
[00:18] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: The prog doesnt even open a window when I click on it. All other progs are working though
[00:19] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Some hard disks fail after 5 -7 years of rough use
[00:19] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: this one is 1 year old
[00:19] <Jasonn> and it was working
[00:19] <Jasonn> like 2 days ago
[00:19] <Jordan_U> Jasonn: Quantum_Ion: If you want to check your disk for hardware problems Palimpsest ( "Disk Utility" ) will show you the SMART data from the drive.
[00:19] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Then you probably need to rewrite the EXT3 or EXT 4 partition using Gparted or Partition Magic
[00:20] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, More then likely you will lose the data in that partition
[00:20] <Jasonn> Jordan_U: Ok, and is that a prog, or something I boot into
[00:20] <Jordan_U> Jasonn: That is a program, which comes with Ubuntu by default.
[00:20] <Jasonn> Jordan_U: Ok
[00:21] <Jasonn> Jordan_U: Disk is healthty, running surface tests now
[00:22] <ninjajoe> hi
[00:22] <Jasonn> Jordan_U: Powered on: 2.4 Years <- lol
[00:22] <Jordan_U> Quantum_Ion: If it's just a filesystem problem then it can probably be fixed with fsck. If it's a hardware problem then the drive should probably simply be discarded. I don't see much use in "rewriting" partitions.
[00:23] <Jasonn> Jordan_U: Ok, what am I looking for here??
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Jasonn: Any warnings.
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Jasonn: But it sounds like the hardware is fine
[00:24] <Jasonn> none at all
[00:24] <Jasonn> yeah
[00:24] <Jasonn> I ran a test aswell
[00:25] <Jasonn> Jordan_U: Now my external HDD has a few bad sectors, how do I fix that
[00:27] <ZombieRamen> i'm having a problem with glc not encoding my videos: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828513
[00:27] <PythonSnake> How to rename a file ? which command ?
[00:27] <ZombieRamen> it might be a problem with ffmpeg, as glc-play plays the videos fine, but the command i'm using to encode pipes to ffmpeg
[00:27] <rww> PythonSnake: mv
[00:27] <ZombieRamen> PythonSnake: mv oldfilename newfilename
[00:27] <PythonSnake> thanks
[00:28] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: What is an alt to nautilus
[00:28] <miketomdool> Jasonn pcmanfm
[00:29] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Dolphin -> http://dolphin.kde.org/
[00:29] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: thanks, inatlling how
[00:29] <Jasonn> now
[00:29] <Dr_Willis_> lots of alternative file managers out there.  :) rox-filer pcmanfm, gentoo,
[00:29] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: And how do I fix bad sectors? (its on my external drive)
[00:29] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Use Synaptic Package Manager to install Dolphin, file manager on your Ubuntu Linux system
[00:30] <kroq-gar78> how do I undo what I did with "patch"? I did patch --help but it yielded no results (unless I skipped over something). Can someone help me?
[00:30] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: I prefer to install/rm files with terminal :)
[00:30] <Jasonn> programs **
[00:30] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Did you try running fdisk on your external drive
[00:31] <glebihan> Jasonn, I wouldn't do with dolphin on a gnome or unity desktop environment
[00:31] <glebihan> *wouldn't go*
[00:31] <Jasonn> glebihan: Im not, im doing it with pcmanfx
[00:31] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: I ran disk utility on it
[00:31] <glebihan> Jasonn, ok
[00:32] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Look at this thread-> Howto: Use ntfsresize+fdisk to resize a partition with bad sectors
[00:32] <Quantum_Ion>  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244058
[00:32] <HeGuru> kroq-gar78: use the -R switch
[00:33] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: I also have one more problem
[00:33] <RyuGuns1> Hey!
[00:33] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: Audio doesnt work D:
[00:33] <kroq-gar78> HeGuru: thanks. I have no idea HOW I skipped over it...
[00:33]  * Guest72128 waves hello
[00:33] <RyuGuns1> Okay, so I heard I can sign up for Ubuntu one and have a free 2 gb, then upgrade later.
[00:33] <RyuGuns1> Why do I suddenly have 5?
[00:34] <Dr_Willis_> they gave everyone 5 bydefult now. not 2
[00:34] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Do you have ALSA installed ?
[00:34] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: Unless it comes preinstalled, no
[00:34] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, If so try sudo /sbin/alsa-utils stop and sudo alsa force-reload
[00:35] <RyuGuns1> (08:34:03 PM) Dr_Willis_: Thanks.
[00:35] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: not installed
[00:35] <miketomdool> Quantum he might also have pulse audio server
[00:35] <Dr_Willis_> Ubuntu One is handy. Wish they had better  TOmboy client for android so i could sync my notes easier. :)
[00:35] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, type ->which alsa does anything come up ?
[00:36] <ZombieRamen> can someone please help me with my ffmpeg/glc problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828513
[00:37] <Jasonn> hmm
[00:37] <raven> how to start "gnome-terminal" with zsh?
[00:37] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: /sbin/alsa
[00:37] <Dr_Willis_> theres a 'exec' option you an use raven or set a zsh profile i think
[00:37] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, You have ALSA on your system
[00:37] <Jasonn> :)
[00:37] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, If so try sudo /sbin/alsa-utils stop and sudo alsa force-reload
[00:37] <thomas__> hello all
[00:38] <raven> Dr_Willis_, i used chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh $USER to set it as default but it does not take effekt. also to make a shortcut with zsh does not work
[00:38] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: sudo: /sbin/alsa-utils: command not found
[00:38] <nuno_nunes> Hi
[00:38] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, did you try not using a pipe in that command ?
[00:38] <thomas__> anyone experience video performance issues on a notebook?
[00:38] <Pici> raven: if you plan on using zsh full-time, use chsh
[00:38] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, You can upgrade ALSA by following this easy document -> http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/
[00:38] <Jasonn> !anyone | thomas__
[00:39] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: I've tried glc-play, and the video seems to be playing fine.
[00:39] <raven> Pici, i did but no effect chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh $USER
[00:39] <nuno_nunes> Plz help to configure to dosemu
[00:39] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, just make corrections I think the ALSA version is 24 now
[00:39] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: YESH! Easy documents, easy for my brain size :)
[00:39] <Pici> raven: due to the way that gnome-terminal executes, you'll need to relogin to gnome for it to take effect.
[00:39] <thomas__> I need some guidance with video performance and dont know where to look
[00:39] <raven> Pici, oh ok
[00:40] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, Good Luck I upgraded ALSA following those instructions it was real easy but takes a while to download all the software to build ALSA
[00:40] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, but did you try splitting the command in 2 parts, the glc-play one and then the ffmpeg one, removing the pipe ?
[00:40] <Jasonn> Quantum_Ion: lol, just noticed that. Queue: 423MB this should be fin
[00:40] <Jasonn> fun *
[00:41] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: i just tried doing that, and it seems to be outputting the uncompressed file ok
[00:41] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: the original file is 70GB, though - won't it take a while this way?
[00:42] <Quantum_Ion> Jasonn, It took me like an hour an hour an half to download all those utilities to rebuild ALSA, but the upgrade fixed my sound problem on Ubuntu Linux
[00:42] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, well it'll sure take some time...
[00:43] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, but I don't think that using a pipe can work, because if ffmpeg runs faster than glc-play and runs out of data, it will stop before the end
[00:43] <thomas__> Since installing Ubuntu on my notebook the video performance is very sluggish, as if it doesn't have a proper video driver
[00:43] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: i've encoded successfully before using that command on this install
[00:43] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: and i tried making a shorter file, and it had the same problem as the longer one
[00:43] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, I think it might be because of Unity
[00:44] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, A lot of people have been complaining about Unity
[00:44] <WinCamXP> hello
[00:44] <thomas__> Thank you, that give me a starting point to start troubshooting
[00:45] <thomas__> has anyone had a solution to the Unity problem?
[00:45] <WinCamXP> my sister has a toshiba NB505 netbook.....would ubuntu netbook edition be compatible with it? what hardware is/isn't supported?
[00:45] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, What distro of Ubuntu Linux are you running ?
[00:45] <thomas__> 1104
[00:45] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, well it can depend on a lot of things (video format, quality...). btw did you notice that the command you've shown encodes with a 200kb bitrate ?
[00:46] <zykotick9> Quantum_Ion, "what version of ubuntu are you running" or "what distro of gnu/linux are you using"
[00:46] <miketomdool> you can use regular gnome
[00:46] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: no, i just use that command because it's the only one i know that works. is there a problem with it being 200kb?
[00:46] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, I run Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS I have not touched 11.04 and won't upgrade until another LTS release of Ubuntu Linux
[00:46] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, well it's very bad quality
[00:46] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: how can i change that?
[00:46] <WinCamXP> How well is the Toshiba NB505 netbook supported by Ubuntu Netbook?
[00:47] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, But I have heard a lot of people who are running 11.04 complain about hardware slowdown running Unity – A Modern Lightweight Desktop For Ubuntu [Linux]
[00:47] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, use the -b option with ffmpeg
[00:47] <thomas__> Quantum_Ion, maybe I should do that as it was a problem with the release before that also
[00:47] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, eg ffmpeg -b 1200k
[00:47] <thomas__> I was hoping that this release would fix it
[00:47] <ZombieRamen> like this? glc-play video -y 1 -o - | ffmpeg -i -b - -sameq test.avi
[00:47] <ZombieRamen> oh
[00:48] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, The LTS releases of Ubuntu Linux just seem more stable to me,however other people might think differently
[00:48] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, the full command would be "glc-play video -y 1 -o - | ffmpeg -b 1200k -i - -sameq test.avi"
[00:48] <bbbbbbbb> my hp notebook's fn keys are reversed, so that i need to press i.e. fn+f2 to get the usual f2 result. how do i fix this
[00:48] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, 1200 is just an example, adjust it to the quality you want
[00:49] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: how do i know which quality i want to use?
[00:49] <notica> im bac
[00:49] <thomas__> Quantum_Ion, Sure I prefer stability over new, I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something
[00:49] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, the best way is probably to run some tests and see what fits your needs
[00:49] <notica> and thanks, its works now
[00:50] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, Not really nothing really radical as far as I can see
[00:50] <WinCamXP> How well does 11.04 netbook edition support the Toshiba NB505?
[00:50] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, They just need time to work out all the bugs in those new releases of Ubuntu Linux
[00:50] <Dr_Willis_> I dident think there was a 11.04 netbook edition....
[00:50] <thomas__> Quantum_Ion, Thank you for your input
[00:50] <Quantum_Ion> thomas__, np, just my humble opinion
[00:51] <thomas__> Quantum_Ion, you have been very helpful
[00:51] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, as a reference, DVD quality is about 2000k
[00:51] <WinCamXP> well, what ubuntu OS would be best for a 9-yr-old girl's netbook?
[00:52] <glebihan> WinCamXP, doesn't answer your question, but so you know, starting from version 11.04 there is no separate netbook version anymore
[00:52] <WinCamXP> ahhhhh.
[00:52] <WinCamXP> That probably has to do with merging Unity into the mainstream version, right?
[00:52] <Dr_Willis_> WinCamXP:  for an old old machine - perhaps lubuntu
[00:52] <glebihan> WinCamXP, that's right
[00:52] <WinCamXP> it's actually a relatively new machine
[00:52] <escott> WinCamXP, unity (which was the netbook ui) was merged into the main release in 11.04 so 11.04 should be fine for your netbook, but there is not specific netbook version
[00:52] <WinCamXP> it had win 7 starter preinstalled
[00:53] <Dr_Willis_> WinCamXP:  normal ubuntu should work fine then
[00:53] <glebihan> Dr_Willis_, the girl is 9 years old, not the computer :)
[00:53] <WinCamXP> are there any hardware issues or something with this model though?
[00:53] <WinCamXP> i do have ethernet cables if i need them
[00:53] <Dr_Willis_> glebihan:  i have to wonder why the gender matters :) need a pink theme by default?
[00:53] <WinCamXP> well we can work out the themes if it works
[00:54] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: is there a way to get the pipe to work again, or am i going to have to encode an uncompressed file every time?
[00:54] <bbbbbbbb> my keyboards f-keys are reversed, i.e. to get f11 i have to press fn+f11 - any solution how to change this?
[00:55] <WinCamXP> hmm, supposedly this person installed 10.10 on a toshiba netbook, had to use 3 lines of terminal commands for the wifi but worked great after that
[00:55] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, well maybe it could work once you add the bitrate parameter to ffmpeg (ffmpeg should be a little slower)
[00:55] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, otherwise I have no idea how it could work
[00:55] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: then how did it work before?
[00:55] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis_, i don't think JBL is for young boys.  http://biebian.sourceforge.net/  ;)
[00:55] <Dr_Willis_> bbbbbbbb:  last keyboard i had that worked that way. I  recall having to redo the keymap. but i ended up toss ing tghe keyboard.
[00:55] <WinCamXP> can somebody help me look to see if there's any compatibility issues with the toshiba NB505?
[00:56] <WinCamXP> for example, touchpad/wifi drivers?
[00:56] <WinCamXP> we do have USB mice which are sure to work, but still.......any known drver issues?
[00:56] <Dr_Willis_> WinCamXP:  check th forums and askubuntu.com     test with a live cd..
[00:57] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, that I don't know...
[00:57] <kroq-gar78> Dr_Willis_: You mean live USB? :P
[00:57] <bbbbbbbb> Dr_Willis_: well, i can't toss the keyboard cause its built into my new notebook i intend to keep for a while...
[00:57] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, all I'm saying is that it's likely not to work every time
[00:57] <WinCamXP> how big is the ubuntu iso?
[00:58] <WinCamXP> i have a couple 2gb flash drives
[00:58] <nukedeath> hmmm
[00:58] <Dr_Willis_> bbbbbbbb:  check the bios, check the forums perhaps. laptops and ubuntu's   - it have some switch somewhere..
[00:58] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: so i have to basically double the filesize every time i want to compress a video, at least temporarily?
[00:58] <stercor> Where to ask Evolution Mail setup questions?
[00:58] <WinCamXP> well this is the ubuntu support channel
[00:59] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, well, that's what I would do anyway, but maybe somebody else can point you to a better solution
[00:59] <WinCamXP> make sure to go to your email provider's website and look for pop3/imap server addresses (preferrably imap)
[00:59] <bbbbbbbb> Dr_Willis_: seems to be configurable in the bios, i'll check there. thanks
[01:00] <alikhj> hello!
[01:00] <WinCamXP> hello
[01:00] <alikhj> i'm about to download the ubuntu installation and am wondering if i should got 32-bit or 64ibt
[01:00] <WinCamXP> how big is 11.04 when burned to a flash drive?
[01:00] <WinCamXP> are you running Windows?
[01:00] <kroq-gar78> WinCamXP: 700MB
[01:00] <alikhj> i have a intel core 2 duo extreme on a lenovo thinkpad w700 laptop
[01:00] <WinCamXP> alikhj: if you're running windows, click Start and right-click My Computer
[01:01] <WinCamXP> it will say 32-bit or 64-bit in there
[01:01] <lion42> alikhj, 64
[01:01] <WinCamXP> oops and then click Properties
[01:01] <kroq-gar78> alikhj: if its a desktop, I suggest getting 64bit. Netbook/tablet, 32bit
[01:01] <bbbbbbbb> now on to the next HID of mine... the touchpad has a "button" (more of a touch point) to switch it off, which would be very convenient when typing. how do i act
[01:01] <WinCamXP> Start -> Right-click Computer -> Properties
[01:01] <alikhj> thanks - i was unsure since the documentation didn't specify the "extreme" as supported but duo and solo were
[01:01] <zykotick9> alikhj, how much memory do you have?
[01:01] <bbbbbbbb> ivate it
[01:01] <alikhj> 6 gigs
[01:01] <lion42> kroq-gar78, O.o most laptops nowadays are 64 capable...
[01:01] <WinCamXP> okay 64-bit
[01:01] <zykotick9> alikhj, 64bit then
[01:01] <stercor> WinCamXP: I'm on Ubuntu 10.04LTS; I'm having problems with IMAP.  It just sits there.  Server type is 'SMTP'; server is 'smtp.gmail.com:587'.
[01:01] <lion42> alikhj, 64.
[01:01] <alikhj> score - you guys are awesome
[01:01] <WinCamXP> ahhh gmail
[01:01] <WinCamXP> lemme check
[01:02] <kroq-gar78> lion42: yeah I forgot to add that
[01:02] <WinCamXP> im gonna see what all you have to check and type in
[01:02] <kroq-gar78> alikhj: then 64bit yes
[01:02] <zykotick9> stercor, have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingGmailWithEvolution
[01:03] <stercor> zykotick9: No, but I will ;-}
[01:03] <WinCamXP> okay stercor, there's a setting somehwere on google.com where you have to enable IMAP
[01:04] <WinCamXP> after you find it and turn it on, follow these instructions: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
[01:04] <noneabove1182> hey guys im having a problem with games not launching in ubuntu 11.04 running on a virtualbox, not just not working, but not launching at all, anyone have an idea of how to fix it or figure out WHY it's not working ?
[01:04] <demonspork> open gmail, click the gear in the top right, click Mail Settings, select forwarding and pop/imap
[01:04] <demonspork> woops
[01:04] <demonspork> wrong chat
[01:04] <demonspork> actually, the right chat
[01:05] <zykotick9> noneabove1182, what games?
[01:05] <noneabove1182> zykotick9 all of them
[01:05] <reisi> hi there! i just did a kubuntu 11.04 install on top of an existing system from usb; i had an lvm previously set up but now the lvm or raid does not seem to get initialized during boot by initramfs
[01:05] <bsmith093> well this is odd, all of a sudden, the menu bar and the right mouse button do absolutely nothing in whatever the latest version of firfox is, though i did just yesterday upgrade ubufox, whatever that is. im running ubuntu lucid 32bit\
[01:05] <noneabove1182> zykotick9 literally have not encountered one game that has launched
[01:05] <kroq-gar78> noneabove1182: like which?
[01:06] <reisi> any ideas on how to get usb keyboard to work with initramfs so that i could debug the situation?
[01:07] <ifank> hello...
[01:07] <noneabove1182> kroq-gar78 alien arena, armagetron advanced, open arena, supertux kart, theres others but i dont have them on this version (tried making a new one)
[01:08] <bbbbbbbb> my touchpad has a touchbutton for disabling/enabling it - works well with its driver in windows, but in ubuntu i dont get it disabled anyhow. what do
[01:08] <zykotick9> noneabove1182, running 3d games inside VBox isn't going to work
[01:08] <noneabove1182> zykotick9 they arent all though
[01:08] <noneabove1182> zykotick9 arent all 3d that is
[01:09] <zykotick9> noneabove1182, all the ones you just listed are.  Good luck, i can't help you
[01:09] <noneabove1182> zykotick9 unless they are and i dont realize, is there a def 2d game that i can try?
[01:09] <noneabove1182> zykotick9 oh oky
[01:09] <zykotick9> noneabove1182, any of the Gnome games are 2d
[01:10] <qin> noneabove1182: igano, gnuchess, tetris, etc
[01:10] <noneabove1182> qin thanks
[01:10] <bsmith093> can anyone hear me
[01:10] <stercor> Where is this Evolution Account Assistant?
[01:10] <zykotick9> bsmith093, actually, we all can
[01:10] <kroq-gar78> bsmith093: yes
[01:11] <qin> noneabove1182: Propably some rts, 2100?
[01:11] <bsmith093> kay then does anyone have any solutions for the right mouse button being useless in the latest firefox all of a sudden?
[01:12] <WinCamXP> most keyboard have a key designated to right-click.....does that work?
[01:12] <Xunubi> Could any kind soul point me in the direction of the repositories list (on ubuntu website I think?) I seem to be having a blond moment
[01:12] <bbbbbbbb> my touchpad has a touchbutton for disabling/enabling it - works well with its driver in windows, but in ubuntu i dont get it disabled anyhow. what do
[01:13] <bsmith093> WinCamXP:  no it does nothing
[01:13] <Jasonn> Xunubi: You mean the repos that are pre added on each ubuntu install, or all of the repos??
[01:14] <noneabove1182> bbbbbbbb hp computer ? just curious, i couldnt get it to work either
[01:14] <pdtpatrick> join #asterisk
[01:14] <bbbbbbbb> noneabove1182: exactly
[01:14] <stercor> ppl: looks like it was a port number problem.  I'll run some tests to see if all is well.
[01:14] <Xunubi> Jasonn: A list of all would be awesome, I can't access any restricted extras or addons at the moment
[01:14] <hatch> how to I figure out which apache2 is running? I installed lamp-server and there is a ton of them after a find but none appear to actually shut apache down
[01:15] <hatch> on 10.04
[01:15] <qin> hatch: sudo service apache stop
[01:15] <stercor> Looks good.  Sending and receiving.  Thanks!
[01:16] <glebihan> hatch, ^^ replacing apache by apache2
[01:16] <qin> hatch: No point of killing separate threads.
[01:16] <Datz> Hi, is there a way I can configure what services run at startup?
[01:16] <glebihan> Datz, the
[01:16] <qin> glebihan: thx
[01:16] <glebihan> Datz, there is no tool to do that
[01:16] <hatch> perrfect thanks guys, so did I install too many versions of apache doing the lamp-server install?
[01:16] <hatch> as in - was there an apache there already?
[01:16] <bbbbbbbb> damn, now i try to install touchpad-indicator and i can't add its repo properly
[01:17] <bbbbbbbb> how do i get it then
[01:17] <Datz> glebihan: that seems odd
[01:17] <glebihan> Datz, if you want to disable some services you have to manually edit the scripts in /etc/init
[01:17] <zykotick9> Datz, there was one once, but it's been removed
[01:17] <Datz> glebihan: ok, that's what I thought
[01:17] <Datz> zykotick9: ok. well thanks.
[01:17] <qin> hatch: No, apache uses many threads to run.
[01:18] <glebihan> hatch, no the different processes you are seeing are several threads of the same server
[01:18] <hatch> ahh ok that makes sense
[01:18] <hatch> now to find the dir's for the webroot and stuff
[01:18] <Jasonn> Xunubi: Yeah, back, sorry, had to go for a min.. What is not working for you?
[01:18] <glebihan> zykotick9, the tool was for sys V init, there hasn't been one that I know of for upstart
[01:18] <zykotick9> glebihan, correct
[01:19] <Jasonn> Xunubi: Try this command: sudo apt-get update
[01:19] <glebihan> hatch, should be /var/www
[01:19] <Xunubi> Jasonn: Tried that already, and have done full update from update manager.  I usually use Gnome, but I'm just trying out XFCE and now I lost all my repositories
[01:19] <glebihan> hatch, check /etc/apache2/sites-available/default if it's been modified
[01:20] <Datz> glebihan: so if I don't want a service to run, I can move the file in /etc/init.d/ elsewhere?
[01:20] <hatch> /usr/sbin/apache2ctl start
[01:20] <hatch> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[01:20] <hatch> (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
[01:20] <hatch> no listening sockets available, shutting down
[01:20] <FloodBot1> hatch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:20] <hatch> oops
[01:20] <glebihan> Datz, no
[01:20] <glebihan> Datz, first it's not /etc/init.d but /etc/init
[01:20] <Datz> humm, ok
[01:20] <glebihan> Datz, and you shouldn't remove them
[01:20] <Datz> oh
[01:21] <glebihan> Datz, I would rather comment out the "start on...." line
[01:21] <qin> hatch: Hm... sudo service apache2 start
[01:21] <Datz> ah, that sounds easy enough
[01:21] <zykotick9> glebihan, the easy way is just move the file to foo.disabled in /etc/init
[01:22] <Datz> well that's what I was thinking, but apparently there's something wrong with that?
[01:22] <glebihan> zykotick9, Datz, no nothing wrong
[01:22] <Jasonn> Xunubi: Hmm, ok
[01:23] <glebihan> Datz, I misread you, thought you wanted to delete the script
[01:23] <Datz> ah, ok
[01:23] <WinCamXP> I found this the other day, it was quite funny - http://www.pcworld.com/article/238415/modder_roots_sixfoottall_nexus_s_impresses_geeks_everywhere.html#tk.hp_new
[01:23] <Blinny> I have an init script that isn't working after an upgrade to 10.04.4 - It says the daemon is already running. Is there an easy trick to make upstart play nicely with this older init script?
[01:24] <glebihan> !ot | WinCamXP
[01:25] <Jasonn> Xunubi: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/sources.zip that download will give you sources.list and the .sh file
[01:25] <glebihan> Blinny, upstart should handle init scripts just fine
[01:25] <glebihan> Blinny, what script is it ?
[01:25] <Blinny> glebihan: ipsec (from openswan package)
[01:25] <Jasonn> Xunubi: If you want to generate your own list, probably best, use this: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[01:26] <Blinny> glebihan: On run it says the daemon appears to already be running. I'm assuming a pid or lock file problem.
[01:26] <Blinny> glebihan: I can do a 'service ipsec restart' and upstart likes it
[01:26] <glebihan> Blinny, could you pastebin the script ?
[01:26] <Xunubi> Jasonn: thanks a lot, though I'm not sure what I should be doing with that download :p (I'm at the "other software" tab in synaptic repositories page
[01:26] <Blinny> glebihan: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/671395/
[01:27] <WinCamXP> this netbook should be capable of extending the desktop onto another monitor, rught? (toshiba NB505)
[01:27] <Jasonn> Xunubi: If you wish, that download will give you a file that you have to save in a system folder, which is probably easier than entering the list of repos if you know how
[01:28] <WinCamXP> my sister wants more room, a 1024x600 display isn't enough for some of her girly things
[01:28] <Blinny> glebihan: It basically just runs 'ipsec _realsetup start', which spits out "Openswan IPsec apparently already active, start aborted"
[01:28] <WinCamXP> i wonder if i hooked up a monitor, if i could make the resolution any higher
[01:28] <Blinny> glebihan: Which makes me believe openswan doesn't shutdown gracefully on reboots, stops
[01:29] <pseudosudo> Hi, I'm trying to write a bash script that will parse the contents of the latest log file. When I type "cat $(ls -ctr1 /opt/ts3/logs/*.log | tail -1)" into terminal, it prints out the contents of the latest log file with no problems. However, when I try to put this into a variable such as "lastlog='cat $(ls -ctr1 /opt/ts3/logs/*.log | tail -1)'  and then echo $lastlog", it does not work properly.
[01:29] <WinCamXP> does infra recorder support burning ISOs to flash drives?
[01:29] <Xunubi> Jasonn: Thanks, wouldn't know where to put it though, I'm sure I've seen a comprehensive list of available repos on the ubuntu website, just can't find it! :(
[01:30] <zykotick9> pseudosudo, try using ` instead of '
[01:30] <Jasonn> Xunubi: Probably, there is a guide, but its easier to just generate a list for yourself
[01:30] <pseudosudo> zykotick9, k thx, i'll try it now
[01:30] <qin> pseudosudo: /j #bash will help
[01:31] <glebihan> Blinny, does it work correctly if you run the start/stop scripts manually ?
[01:31] <pseudosudo> qin, good idea. will do
[01:31] <dzl> hello
[01:31] <dzl> i need help with ubuntu
[01:31] <Blinny> glebihan: Yes.
[01:31] <WinCamXP> what's the problem, dzl?
[01:32] <zykotick9> dzl, we don't read minds - you need to state what your issue is
[01:32] <dzl> i am trying to install irssi
[01:32] <pseudosudo> zykotick9, wow thanks that worked! Can you tell me why ` worked instead of '
[01:32] <dzl> but i am recieving an ort8.a subset error
[01:32] <glebihan> Blinny, are the links in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d present ?
[01:33] <zykotick9> pseubodot, ` means execute this as a command vs ' which means LITERALLY interpret
[01:33] <Blinny> glebihan: Yup. k34
[01:33] <zykotick9> pseudosudo, sorry TAB fail ^^
[01:34] <Blinny> glebihan: Really it's just the initial boot start. If I manually 'service ipsec start' or '/etc/init.d/ipsec start' it thinks the service is already running, but it's not. Upon successful boot I have to do a 'service ipsec restart' and it starts normally then.
[01:35] <ayhane> hi
[01:35] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: the glc-play output file that's generated is larger than the original uncompressed, and it's still going
[01:35] <ZombieRamen> glebihan: should i ctrl+c it?
[01:35] <glebihan> Blinny, well I don't have many ideas there, maybe you should file a bug
[01:36] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, depends how much disk space you have left
[01:36] <glebihan> ZombieRamen, and how long you're willing to waiy
[01:36] <glebihan> *wait*
[01:36] <Blinny> glebihan: OK.
[01:36] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, why do you need to use glc-play?  Can't you just use ffmpeg directly?
[01:37] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: i'm using this command: glc-play video -y 1 -o test.avi
[01:37] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, and glc-play is creating JPG or PNG images, so it's obviously going to be a lot larger then your origional
[01:37] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, but why?  just use ffmpeg against the test.avi
[01:38] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, oh sorry, that's the output
[01:38] <dzl> HELLO
[01:38] <dzl> *hello
[01:38] <yoli> NO funciona el microfono en MSI CR610
[01:38] <dzl> i require assistance with ubuntu
[01:38] <dzl> can anyone help me with ubuntu
[01:38] <o0splitpaw0o> hi dzl
[01:39] <dzl> i am trying to install irssi
[01:39] <dzl> on ubuntu
[01:39] <zykotick9> dzl, does "sudo apt-get install irssi" work?
[01:39] <dzl> but i keep getting an ORT-8a subset error
[01:39] <o0splitpaw0o> dzl sudo apt-get install epic5
[01:39] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: i'm having this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828513
[01:39] <o0splitpaw0o> <-- using it now
[01:39] <ZombieRamen> zkotick9: when i pipe to ffmpeg, the command stops after a few seconds
[01:40] <yoli> NO funciona el microfono en MSI CR610 (hay un irc hispano)
[01:40] <oly562> ZombieRamen: what do the logs say, first move ;)
[01:40] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, what is "video" exactly - and why can't you just point ffmpeg to the "video" directly?
[01:40] <glebihan> !es | yoli
[01:40] <oly562> including stderr
[01:40] <yoli> gracias ubottu
[01:40] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: what logs? and video is glc's output
[01:41] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, i didn't ask about logs.  But where is glc-play getting it's data from then?
[01:41] <pseudosudo> zykotick9, thanks for your help!
[01:41] <ZombieRamen> oly562: what logs?
[01:42] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: glc-play is getting data from video, which is a glc file
[01:42] <Xunubi> Jasonn: I'm running LTS, the update option in synaptic was set to LTS only by default, problem solved I think. (Just for future reference) :)
[01:42] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, sorry I don't have any experience with 3d files - good luck.
[01:43] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: it's not a 3D file - it's an uncompressed video file
[01:43] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: not the opengl "glc", but nullkey's linux fraps "glc"
[01:44] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, do you know the filename?  "file THEFILE" what does it say?
[01:44] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: the filename is "video"
[01:44] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, so "file video" then
[01:45] <ZombieRamen> video: data
[01:46] <dzl> hello
[01:46] <dzl> i am trying to install irssi on ubuntu
[01:46] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, and the following doesn't work?  ffmpeg -i video -sameq test.avi
[01:46] <Tropolis> How do I block access to a specific port from all IP's except my own with UFW? I can't find it anywhere in the docs/howto/manpage.
[01:47] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: video: Invalid data found when processing input
[01:47] <Jordan_U> !details | dzl
[01:47] <zykotick9> ZombieRamen, too bad.  well good luck.
[01:47] <ZombieRamen> zykotick9: the video data has to be outputted from glc-play, then compressed with ffmpeg
[01:47] <glebihan> Tropolis, "sudo allow from IP to any port PORT" then "sudo ufw deny to PORT"
[01:47] <zykotick9> dzl, does "sudo apt-get install irssi" work?
[01:48] <o0splitpaw0o> dzl yup
[01:48] <Tropolis> glebihan, it matters what order it's in doesn't it?
[01:48] <dzl> i get an ORT-8a subset error
[01:48] <dzl> through the ORT subset protocol
[01:48] <glebihan> Tropolis, yes it does
[01:48] <Tropolis> thanks glebihan
[01:49] <glebihan> Tropolis, you're welcome
[01:51] <yunusabd> How can I add Gentoo to Grub?
[01:52] <aleuck> !vim
[01:52] <yunusabd> I found instructions for legacy Grub but Grub2 is auto config
[01:52] <zykotick9> yunusabd, try running "sudo update-grub2" and see if it auto finds it
[01:53] <james_> my audio is out of sync with both flv and divs...is therre anything i can do?
[01:53] <ellipsis> Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows a good was to get rid of the blue bars with -[]X at the top of windows but still be able to easily minimise maximise and close them? Just thinking they use up a lot of screen space for what they do...
[01:54] <yunusabd> zykotick9: I am still in Gentoo install is there away to access it from mount?
[01:54] <yunusabd> zykotick9: I tried the command but cannot run it in gentoo
[01:54] <Jordan_U> ellipsis: When using unity they are integrated into the top "pannel" when maximized.
[01:55] <qin> ellipsis: Remove windows decoration? Sure, ccsm (if you using compiz)...
[01:56] <ellipsis> Jordan_U,  That's cool and kind of what I was I was thinking of (just not very clearly). However I really dislike unity can I do that with classic ubuntu?
[01:56] <ellipsis> qin, the problem is that I really like the desktop cube spin effects etc.
[01:56] <zykotick9> yunusabd, that was intended to be run in Ubuntu.  Best of luck, i can't help with Gentoo related issues.
[01:56] <qin> ellipsis: In ccsm, go to windows decoration plugin
[01:56] <Jordan_U> ellipsis: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/
[01:56] <SnackWhack> just installed Ubuntu, latest release, on an old Dell Dimension 3000, and graphics are screwy. How do I disable desktop effects? Not seeing the option under system>preferences>appearance
[01:57] <bodhizazen> Does the OEM install option work using the desktop CD, or do I need the alternate CD ?
[01:57] <ellipsis> qin, you can still have the desktop cube? I thought it was a part of compiz?
[01:57] <Crumbz> hey guys, i am having an issue with tcpdump, it seems to be capturing packets and outputting to a file, but won't display on stdout.
[01:58] <ellipsis> Jordan_U, thanks.
[01:58] <SnackWhack> Is there a command line way to turn off desktop effects?
[01:58] <Jordan_U> ellipsis: You're welcome.
[01:59] <Crumbz> anyone here have any experience with tcpdump?
[01:59] <ellipsis> going to bed now, night :P
[01:59] <zykotick9> SnackWhack, for Unity I don't know, if you use Classic (Gnome) you can run "metacity --replace" to turn off compiz
[01:59] <SnackWhack> < new to Ubuntu, so if there is a better way, I'd be glad to know
[01:59] <bodhizazen> ellipsis, see if this helps : http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/
[01:59] <Crumbz> ellipsis, you need to find out what composite manager you are using
[01:59] <bodhizazen> Crumbz, what you looking at with tcpdump ?
[02:00] <SnackWhack> zykotick9: does that turn it off for good? That seems to have helped
[02:00] <NixNinja> question I have a ubuntu server at work that someone else setup before I got there I am trying to get access to it remotely for testing to be sure I don't have a router issue I have DMZed the server I can ssh to it on the local network but I can't from the public I have checked hosts.allow and deny and even added ALL: ALL to the allow file but I still can't get in can anyone give me and Idea as to what to look at next?
[02:00] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, nothing, thatis the problem. ;p
[02:00] <zykotick9> SnackWhack, i don't think so, after reboot it'll probably be back
[02:00] <SnackWhack> zykotick9: Any idea how to shut it off completely?
[02:01] <zykotick9> SnackWhack, easy way is install fusion-icon
[02:01] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, i can't seem to get tcpdump to output to stdout
[02:01] <Crumbz> wrong
[02:01] <bodhizazen> Crumbz, sudo tcpdump -i eth0
[02:01] <SnackWhack> zykotick9: forgive me, I'm transitioning from Windows to Linux. How do I install fusion-icon? apt-get I'm guessing?
[02:02] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, i am aware of that ;p
[02:02] <zykotick9> SnackWhack, "sudo apt-get install fusion-icon"
[02:02] <SnackWhack> righto
[02:02] <SnackWhack> brb
[02:02] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, i am running ssh as root and using eth0
[02:02] <bodhizazen> Crumbz, can you give a better description of your problem then ?
[02:02] <yunusabd> zykotick9: Thanks
[02:03] <wildbat> NixNinja: can you telnet it to the ssh port?
[02:03] <zykotick9> Crumbz, FYI having root be allowed to ssh is a poor security setup
[02:03] <Crumbz> it's ok i am using a wrapper
[02:03] <Crumbz> and keys
[02:04] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, i configured it about a month ago on a remote server, was working fine then; i run it now and i can only seem to output to pcap files, i can't get tcpdump to output to stdout
[02:04] <NixNinja> I can try I can see it by sshing into a different server on a diferent public ip also
[02:04] <com64> I'm trying to get Nosefart (a command-line NSF player) working, but it just shows me the help information when I run it.
[02:04] <bodhizazen> Crumbz, hmm, what did you configure exactly >
[02:04] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, i meant i just installed it, tested it and had it running
[02:05] <bodhizazen> What version of Ubuntu ?
[02:06] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, .6.32-33-generic
[02:06] <Crumbz> 2.6.32-33-generic
[02:06] <Crumbz> think i am using version 10 lts
[02:06] <Cert> hello.. I'm a new user to Linux and am having some issues installing ubuntu 11.04; specifically, via usb or cd, the installer loads only past the "Ubuntu" screen (with 5 orange/white dots)

[02:07] <Crumbz> lucid, ty, i am not familiar with ubuntu ;p
[02:08] <needhelp1> im still having issues with samba
[02:08] <wildbat> !md5sum | Cert, did you check the ISO  if it is good?
[02:08] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, lucid.
[02:08] <needhelp1> i can ping both pcs, though i cant access the shared folders. i need help please, both pcs using ubuntu
[02:08] <bodhizazen> idk Crumbz , sorry
[02:08] <Cert> I checked the integtrity of the disk, but not of the iso.
[02:08] <Crumbz> ok np
[02:08] <bodhizazen> it works here, but that does not help you much
[02:09] <Cert> ubottu: I also noticed the file name includes amd.. yet I have an Intel CPU, is this relevant?
[02:09] <bodhizazen> run tcpdump and ping the host ?
[02:09] <Crumbz> needhelp1, did youopen the ports in your firewall?
[02:09] <needhelp1> smb://ipaddress is not working for me, i can ping both pcs, i can see the shared pc in the network folder, but it wont mount
[02:09] <wildbat> Cert, then the CD should be good. amd64 mean it is 64bit kernel only .
[02:09] <needhelp1> Crumbz, using a router, do i need to port forward?
[02:09] <needhelp1> Crumbz, not sure what you mean by firewall
[02:10] <Crumbz> needhelp1, are you expecting connections from outside the nat?
[02:10] <Crumbz> if you can pingthem you have a connection
[02:10] <Crumbz> but
[02:10] <Cert> wildbat: The installer crashes after the ubuntu screens, and displays what looks like this on 1000x zoom : http://www.hudsonhorizons.com/pub/images/barcode.png
[02:10] <Crumbz> try disabling the firewall first to trouble shoot
[02:10] <needhelp1> Crumbz, no, all on the same network, all in same house on one router
[02:10] <Crumbz> needhelp1, sudo ufw disable
[02:11] <Crumbz> yes, i am talking about the firwall built into linuz
[02:11] <Crumbz> linux*
[02:11] <Cert> any idea what the issue may be? (possible video card error due to missing driver?)
[02:11] <zykotick9> Cert, 1) are you sure you have a 64bit CPU 2) do you have nvidia/ati graphics?
[02:11] <needhelp1> Crumbz, sudo ufw disable on both machines ?
[02:11] <Crumbz> yes, just to test se  if you can get a connection
[02:11] <Seven_Six_Two> I tried to drag an avi from nautilus to a running instance of totem, and my mouse cursor changed permanently to the hand with the arrow (showing cursor is over drop target). totem is not playing either. the cursor moves, but doesn't affect anything
[02:11] <Crumbz> you can re-enable it, then just open a port
[02:11] <Seven_Six_Two> nothing noticeable in dmesg or Xorg.0.log
[02:11] <Crumbz> 445 ,139 i think
[02:11] <needhelp1> Crumbz, firewall stoped and disabled on system startup
[02:12] <needhelp1> Crumbz, i need to restart hu
[02:12] <Cert> zykotick9: 100%, its an intel quad core q9550. I'm running an NVidia card
[02:12] <Crumbz> no
[02:12] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | Cert
[02:12] <Crumbz> just trype sudo iptables -F
[02:13] <Cert> zykotick9: thank you, I will attempt this now.
[02:13] <mic008> where usually the program installed in ubuntu?
[02:13] <bhenders> Hey can anybody help me with an Ubuntu instalation problem I have?
[02:13] <needhelp1> sidenote, is there a way to send msgs to another linux pc on my network like netsend?
[02:14] <Crumbz> needhelp1, not sure tbh
[02:14] <needhelp1> unable to mount location failed to retrieve share list from server Crumbz
[02:14] <Seven_Six_Two> mic008, it depends on the part of the program that you're talking about. the binary could be /bin /sbin /usr/bin usr/local/bin etc  the config could be /etc/### or ~/.programname
[02:14] <zykotick9> needhelp1, for cli you can use "wall"
[02:14] <needhelp1> is there another way to share folders on two linux pcs ?
[02:14] <wildbat> !anyone | bhenders
[02:14] <needhelp1> zykotick9,  wall ipaddress message here ?
[02:14] <zykotick9> needhelp1, ssh or nfs or samba
[02:15] <Crumbz> needhelp1, whic machine are you doing this one?
[02:15] <Crumbz> on*
[02:15] <zykotick9> needhelp1, oh sorry looks like wall is only for local machine
[02:15] <needhelp1> Crumbz, ? i have my main desktop which the router is hooked up to and my laptop connected via router to the network
[02:15] <needhelp1> both using ubuntu
[02:16] <Crumbz> needhelp1, yes, but the computers taht are hosting the samba servers need tehir firewalls disables. what is the output of iptables -L -v, use pastebin
[02:17] <bbbbbbbb> at startup, my bios keeps telling me "The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating . " - this seems to be caused by the way ubuntu shuts down, as i dont have this problem in windows (and no temperature issues at all) - how do i get rid of this?
[02:18] <needhelp1> Crumbz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/671416/
[02:18] <Squall5668> quick question guys, how can i get the mysql databases from a system that can't run anymore?
[02:18] <Crumbz> needhelp1, ok and that is on the host to which you are trying to connect to?
[02:19] <MagicJ> I have  new install of 10.4 and when I chose a screen saver they are all just black/blank - what am I missing
[02:19] <needhelp1> Crumbz, either way, i cant connect from either machine
[02:19] <Seven_Six_Two> needhelp1, I use nfs between my ubuntu machines. A bit of setup, but it's very useful. SSH is good for occasional connections, but file transfer over ssh is slower. Using samba if there's no sharing with windows probably isn't your best choice.
[02:19] <bhenders> Hey, I am trying to install Ubuntu on my new gaming pc I just build. All that it has is the bios, there isnt any operating system on there. My method of installing Ubuntu is through a flash drive. I plug in the drive and a menu comes up, off of which I click either install ubuntu on hard drive, or run ubuntu from flash drive. I click either one (have tried both, no difference) and it seems to be installing fine. However, after waitn
[02:19] <Crumbz> needhelp1, how are you trying to mount it?
[02:19] <zykotick9> MagicJ, are you trying opengl ones, or do all of the screen savers fail?
[02:20] <bbbbbbbb> at startup, my bios keeps telling me "The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating . " - this seems to be caused by the way ubuntu shuts down, as i dont have this problem in windows (and no temperature issues at all) - how do i get rid of this?
[02:20] <bhenders> black screen where tons of letters and numbers are racing across the screen very fast. After about thirty seconds of this, it stops and this error shows up: Preconfiguring networking... .../scripts/casper-bottom/23networking: line 31: can't create root/etc/network/interfaces: nonexistant directory
[02:20] <needhelp1> Crumbz, mount it?
[02:20] <Crumbz> needhelp1, the network share...
[02:21] <needhelp1> Crumbz, right click, share folder, allow guest access
[02:21] <needhelp1> Seven_Six_Two, how hard is it to setup NFS ?
[02:21] <MagicJ> zykotick9: I am trying the ones that show on the System/APreferences/Screensaves
[02:22] <Seven_Six_Two> needhelp1, not hard if you can install packages with synaptic and edit text files
[02:22] <zykotick9> MagicJ, and NONE of them work?
[02:22] <MagicJ> everyone thatI have selected just shows black/blank
[02:22] <Crumbz> needhelp1, you could try - mount /targetserver/sharename /local/directory
[02:22] <MagicJ> zykotick9: all that I have tries ar just black/blank
[02:23] <zykotick9> MagicJ, sorry I have no idea, good luck.
[02:24] <MagicJ> zykotick9: just tries some other - fuzzyflakes for example does work
[02:24] <Seven_Six_Two> needhelp1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[02:24] <WinCamXP> i need help
[02:24] <Crumbz> same here
[02:24] <zykotick9> MagicJ, what graphics card are you using?
[02:24] <Seven_Six_Two> needhelp1, it is a long page, but is exact instructions
[02:24] <WinCamXP> i was installing ubuntu witj wubi on my sister's netbook
[02:24] <WinCamXP> but as it was installing after a reboot, it kernel panic'd or something
[02:25] <Crumbz> reinstall it
[02:25] <bodhizazen> Crumbz, can you pastebin "sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -c 10"
[02:25] <WinCamXP> the caps lock light is blinking
[02:25] <kzman> hi
[02:25] <WinCamXP> will windows still boot?
[02:25] <kzman> are in the repositories nvidia graphic drivers ?
[02:25] <th0r> bhenders: does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1481411.html
[02:25] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, unfortunately not, i can't get any kind of output. the pcap file is unreadable, it needs the tcpdump parser.
[02:25] <danbhfive> I can't login: GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly.   Is there a log I can check?
[02:26] <MagicJ> zykotick9: this is a gateway netbook - so whatever that is - but do you think that it may be that I have an encrypted home directory
[02:26] <WinCamXP> okay good
[02:26] <WinCamXP> windows can still boot
[02:26] <MagicJ> zykotick9: this is the one difference between this system and all the other ubuntu setups I have
[02:26] <WinCamXP> im uninstalling ubuntu now :\
[02:26] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, and thatis the problem, i can cat the pcap file no problem, but using the parser or directly outputting it to stdout just doesn't work
[02:26] <zykotick9> MagicJ, in that case I can't help.  Encyrpted drives means I avoid the issue.  Good luck.  FYI to find your video card "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal.
[02:27] <WinCamXP> it worked fine with the live usb, don't know why it kernel panic'd when installing via wubi
[02:27] <MagicJ> I have a gateway netbook - it has an internal microphone - what do I need to do to make ubuntu see it
[02:27] <WinCamXP> what could have caused that kernel panic during install? its a toshiba NB505
[02:27] <sammmy> Why do I have to type my password whenever my computer updates?
[02:27] <bbbbbbbb> at startup, my bios keeps telling me "The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating .

[02:28] <Gu3ss_Wh0> WinCamXp did you try ubuntu remix?
[02:28] <needhelp1> Crumbz, booted up my windows pc, i can see the shares, i can access all local shares, but the folders  i have shared on external hdd i cant access. says no path
[02:28] <bhenders> yeah th0r I saw that but none of it made sense to me when I followed his link it was all in german and google chrome didnt offer to translate it
[02:28] <needhelp1> Crumbz, the folders are to big to copy over to be local
[02:28] <WinCamXP> i used the wubi from a live usb for 11.04 desktop
[02:28] <MagicJ> zykotick9: I have always handled encrypted systems by running the whole thing encrypted and I will return to that method it is better
[02:28] <WinCamXP> opened the drive in windows and launched wubi
[02:28] <danbhfive> I can't login to gnome, what can I do?
[02:28] <Gu3ss_Wh0> try installing ubuntu remix.it's a netbook edition...;)
[02:29] <Crumbz> bodhizazen, yeah, that works, i can see the output in ascii.
[02:29] <th0r> bhenders: well, I fell on it when I was looking to see what casper is....just thought it might help
[02:29] <bodhizazen> Crumbz, tcpdump -i eth0 not 22
[02:29] <WinCamXP> 11.04 doesn't have a netbook remix
[02:29] <zykotick9> MagicJ, i personally just think encrypted filesystems are a bad idea.  Good luck though.
[02:29] <WinCamXP> because they put Unity into the main distro
[02:29] <bhenders> ok thanks!
[02:29] <bodhizazen> sorry, not port 22
[02:30] <bodhizazen> Crumbz, probably too busy a connection to capture all packets to stdout
[02:31] <Crumbz> bodizazen, i think you might be right mate. it's an old torrent box
[02:31] <Gu3ss_Wh0> how about ubuntu 11.04 alternate?
[02:32] <WinCamXP> well i had launched the wubi application from inside the ive usb
[02:32] <WinCamXP> should i use the downloaded wubi instead?
[02:32] <Crumbz> needhelp1, external hard drive? you mean usb?
[02:32] <mbrigdan> Hello! It seems that my standard rsnapshot backup is creating broken links when it tries to backup my .ecryptfs directory. Anyone know what I can do?
[02:33] <Gu3ss_Wh0> yes u may try that....
[02:34] <urlin2u> bbbbbbbb, with the error you posted goggled there is info, from flashing the bios to removing all battery's take a look.
[02:35] <bbbbbbbb> urlin2u: well i cant even find the bios battery
[02:36] <urlin2u> bbbbbbbb, probably show in a maual, most are available on line.
[02:36] <urlin2u> manual
[02:36] <MagicJ> zykotick9: y do u not like encrypted file systems?
[02:36] <Striker3070> is there a ubuntu equivalent of wireshark, need to sniff some traffic.
[02:37] <zykotick9> MagicJ, see mbrigdan's question above - it just doesn't make sence to me for home use (business use is a different matter)
[02:37] <Gu3ss_Wh0> Striker3070 there is an ubuntu edition of wireshark.look it up ;)
[02:38] <MagicJ> zykotick9: I am basically a biz user - but I would even say for home use I like it - I remember watching a dumpster diver collecting the discarded drives outside a best buy - I would bet he was after the data
[02:38] <needhelp1> Crumbz, yeah usb
[02:38] <needhelp1> Crumbz, i defined the path in smb.conf, still no lunch
[02:39] <needhelp1> Crumbz, still says it cant mount in windows, cant get it to pull up on my ubuntu box
[02:39] <Striker3070> Guess_Who, wow I must have missed it I looked on their site and only saw Mac IOs version.  Will look again, thankx
[02:39] <bodhizazen> No ideas about an OEM install ?
[02:39] <Crumbz> needhelp1, what is the output of dmesg
[02:39] <needhelp1> how do you check that Crumbz
[02:41] <Crumbz> needhelp1, type it in a shell
[02:41] <Crumbz> needhelp1, type it in a shell as root
[02:41] <Squall5668> anyone? im trying to backup mysql databases from a system that won't boot. I mount the HDD and try to copy the database files from /var/lib/mysql, but that won't work. Any ideas?
[02:42] <Gu3ss_Wh0> Striker3070 u can download it from ubuntu software center :)
[02:42] <WinCamXP> use a linux live cd and access the filesystem
[02:42] <WinCamXP> copy it to a flash drive
[02:42] <ralphholzmann> heyo - I'm working on an old amd athlon 64 pc -- wonder if its worth it to install the amd64 version of ubuntu or the regular 32bit
[02:43] <ralphholzmann> I feell ike I remember amd64 having issues back in the day
[02:43] <WinCamXP> my pc here is an amd64 but i use 32bit windows
[02:43] <ralphholzmann> but that was in the 7-8 versions
[02:43] <ralphholzmann> right
[02:43] <Crumbz> Swuall5668, do you  have write permissions to another disk?
[02:43] <mbrigdan> ralphholzmann, do you have more than 4Gb of ram?
[02:43] <ralphholzmann> mbrigdan: no
[02:43] <coz_> ralphholzmann,  have you downloaded both 32 and 64 bit live cd's?
[02:43] <WinCamXP> AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.80GHz
[02:43] <ralphholzmann> coz_: I have
[02:43] <WinCamXP> thats mine
[02:44] <Striker3070> Gu3ss_Wh0, excellent, just found it - thany manks
[02:44] <coz_> ralphholzmann,  have you tried both in that machine to see if there is a clear performance difference,, or hardware recognition issut?
[02:44] <coz_> issue
[02:44] <Squall5668> Crumbz i have write permissions everywhere
[02:44] <ralphholzmann> coz_: I haven't, not in a long time
[02:44] <Squall5668> i actually copy the files just fine, but then the mysql service won't start
[02:44] <ralphholzmann> I'm _just_ about to install 11.04
[02:44] <needhelp1> Crumbz, how do i undo iptables -F
[02:44] <ralphholzmann> haven't had ubuntu on this machine since 7-8ish
[02:45] <coz_> ralphholzmann,  that would be the first thing I would do,, check for driver issues if any,, hardware issue and certainly performance issues
[02:45] <needhelp1> Crumbz, sudo dmesg has a ton of stuff
[02:45] <mbrigdan> ralphholzmann, I think drivers are the only thing that still have issues, and even then most things work fine. Any funky hardware that you intend to use?
[02:45] <Crumbz> needhelp1, just enable the ubuntu firewall and reboot
[02:45] <needhelp1> Crumbz, sudo ufw enable ?
[02:45] <Crumbz> yes
[02:45] <needhelp1> kk
[02:45] <needhelp1> i think im just going to give up, ive been fighting this for ever
[02:45] <needhelp1> i cant seem to get it
[02:45] <ralphholzmann> mbrigdan: nothing weird, no
[02:46] <trench> needhelp1: are you a quiter?
[02:46] <needhelp1> trench, not really
[02:46] <Desyncify> Hello
[02:46] <coz_> ralphholzmann,  if the LTS or the current release dont do well on it,, there are other options unless you are married to ubuntu
[02:46] <trench> needhelp1: then be a man
[02:46] <ralphholzmann> it'll be mostly a file server (although I still need a X11 system for some other things)
[02:46] <needhelp1> trench, ive been trying to get this for.. weeks
[02:46] <coz_> ralphholzmann,  I can think of several smaller less robust distributions that might work well
[02:46] <Crumbz> needhelp, have you read the man page?
[02:46] <mbrigdan> ralphholzmann, then just do what coz_ suggests, and see. If you don't find amd64 to be faster, than I would go with 32bit
[02:46] <ralphholzmann> coz_: arch linux?
[02:47] <trench> needhelp1: i started with linux in 94, and i still learn new stuff today :)
[02:47] <Crumbz> needhelp1, have you read the man page?
[02:47] <needhelp1> Crumbz, yeah, and the wiki tutorial for samba ect ect
[02:47] <Crumbz> show me this wiki page
[02:47] <Crumbz> please ;p
[02:47] <Desyncify> When I try to run Update Manager, I get this error: Could not initialize the package information: E:Malformed line 86 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) Please fix to continue!    ANy help?
[02:47] <needhelp1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba
[02:47] <coz_> ralphholzmann,  arch  slackware  especially austrumi based on slack or any of the smaller footprint distributions
[02:47] <trench> needhelp1: linux is about reading, reading, reading, did I say reading? :P
[02:47] <ralphholzmann> coz_: cool, thank you for your help, mbrigdan too
[02:47] <needhelp1> trench, no i get that, man and help pages.. google, wiki
[02:48] <trench> needhelp1: what kind of trouble you have?
[02:48] <coz_> ralphholzmann,   I wouldnt waiste the machine, if it can run linux,, you already you would be ahead of the game
[02:49] <coz_> ralphholzmann,  I meant you already know that it would be great with linux regardless of the distribution,, there may be a small learning curv with another distribution but that's not hard to get through
[02:49] <needhelp1> trench, i cant get the shared folders to work, ever, two pcs running ubuntu, one windows. im only using the windows box because its the only machine that will view the shared folders. none can mount the shares, cant access. i can ping, ufw disabled.. blah blah
[02:49] <needhelp1> configured smb.conf
[02:49] <needhelp1> defined paths
[02:49] <needhelp1> ect ect
[02:49] <rww> Desyncify: copy your /etc/apt/sources.list file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link the page it creates here, please
[02:50] <trench> needhelp1: you tried swat?
[02:50] <needhelp1> trench, i havent
[02:51] <trench> needhelp1: http://www.trench.org/linux/smb.conf this is my smb.conf file
[02:51] <ParkerR> Anyone know what this on screen display is? I comes up when I control volume with button keys but it adjusts the wrong sound device. http://i.imgur.com/RbWWF.jpg
[02:53] <needhelp1> trench, looks clean
[02:53] <needhelp1> trench, wish mine worked
[02:53] <Desyncify> rww how do I copy it to there?
[02:53] <rww> Desyncify: open it in a text editor and copypaste
[02:54] <ParkerR> *It
[02:54] <Desyncify> rww http://paste.ubuntu.com/671429/
[02:55] <urlin2u> ParkerR, what is that icon adjusting?
[02:55] <urlin2u> ParkerR, media wise?
[02:55] <ParkerR> The icon up top is adjust my USB headset but the OSD is adjusting the internal speakers
[02:55] <ParkerR> *adjusting
[02:55] <rww> Desyncify: figured. open it in an editor with sudo privileges ("sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in the terminal or Alt-F2 and then "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"), and remove lines 86 and 87
[02:55] <trench> needhelp1: i add people to nogroup that want to have access to samba
[02:56] <ParkerR> Really the volume keys are adjusting the inetrnal device and not the USB headset
[02:56] <ParkerR> *internal
[02:56] <rww> Desyncify: may as well remove 88 and 89 too, actually
[02:56] <trench> needhelp1: what kind of fs you have on the usbdrive?
[02:56] <needhelp1> ext4
[02:57] <urlin2u> ParkerR, are both making sound, and is the headphone changing?
[02:57] <needhelp1> trench, though, the local folders on the machine wont mount either
[02:57] <trench> needhelp1: post your smb.conf file somewhere so i can see it?
[02:57] <needhelp1> trench, i can access the folders from my windows box, cant from other ubuntu machine
[02:57] <needhelp1> trench, one sec, its on my other pc
[02:57] <rww> Desyncify: ... and 81 and 82. why do you have so many copies of partner in there O_O
[02:58] <Desyncify> rww, thanks, and I have no idea, I just installed ubuntu last night, I'm new to it
[02:59] <rww> Desyncify: the actual error you're getting is because of the lines that say nattypartner instead of natty partner, but you may as well remove the redundant stuff at the bottom and keep the partner lines that are about halfway through the file
[02:59] <ParkerR> urlin2u, I have a .asoundrc in home that tells alsa to use the USB headset as default. I have told the volume applet (it is the older one not the new pulseaudio) to adjust the headset. Whatever uses the OSD is adjusting the card 0 (internal speakers) and not card 1 (the USB headset)
[02:59] <Desyncify> rww, probably where I was trying to install java earlier
[03:00] <rww> Desyncify: probably, yeah
[03:00] <Desyncify> rww, thanks for the help, that worked, update manager works now
[03:03] <needhelp1> trench, sent in pm
[03:05] <needhelp1> trench, still there?
[03:06] <Gunz4MiPPle> if I share a folder from the Nautilus context menu, and say, 'guest ok', i cant connect from another ubuntu machine
[03:06] <Gunz4MiPPle> i can see it, but it wont mount in nautilus
[03:08] <needhelp1> trench, did u see anything weird
[03:13] <needhelp1> http://pastebin.com/75zAiArh
[03:13] <needhelp1> my smb.conf
[03:13] <needhelp1> anyone see any issues
[03:16] <Gunz4MiPPle> needhelp1: ru having problems connecting to a share, too
[03:17] <needhelp1> Gunz4MiPPle, for a long time yeah, cant get it working
[03:17] <needhelp1> trench, you still around?
[03:21] <Gunz4MiPPle> needhelp1: its almost always permissions, and its been a perenial problem for many years :(?
[03:21] <Gunz4MiPPle> I, an experienced ubuntu user, always find myself having to remember what the heck I did last time to make it work!
[03:22] <Gunz4MiPPle> it has to do with samba passwords not being the same as unix passwords, among other things
[03:24] <Gunz4MiPPle> needhelp1: for one thing, i see path = /media/seagate 2tb ext4/Pictures vs path = /media/seagate\ 2tb\ ext4/Pictures/
[03:25] <Gunz4MiPPle> do you notice that the first is missing a '\ '
[03:25] <SirDrak0Ryder> Okay, I need some help... my x window system isn't working right it wont let me access my home folder from the places menu saying "Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/applications/xfe.desktop" (Permission denied)" what do I do to fix it or how can I replace it to make it work?
[03:26] <Gunz4MiPPle> oh, hes gone
[03:27] <juank_prada> does anyone know if qemu from repositories has the patches needed to use it with GNS3?
[03:30] <SirDrak0Ryder> anyone?
[03:31] <zykotick9> SirDrak0Ryder, just a question - but have you been using sudo to start GUI applications?
[03:32] <SirDrak0Ryder> I only use sudo when it asks me to start a program such as package manager or some other administrator task like I always did, then somehow this stopped working.
[03:35] <ralphholzmann> http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent seem to be down for anyone else?

[03:38] <mkquist> ralphholzmann: np
[03:40] <dustin_> has anyone else dealt with Ktorrent consuming all system ram? I have 6 Gb of ram and while running Ktorrent will edge its way up to consuming 5.68 Gb then when closed it will Zombie for 30 seconds before releasing the ram for other programs
[03:41] <Mee> is anyone online?
[03:41] <Mee> i just need bit of help
[03:41] <groundnuty> Mee: hmm?
[03:41] <Feldegast> !ask mee
[03:42] <Mee> just installed ubuntu 11.4 with windows 7 already installe
[03:42] <Mee> its not giving me the option to choose which system to boot
[03:42] <Mee> its booting up windows 7
[03:43] <groundnuty> anyone here heard of linux (for example ubunut) working nicely on macbooks pros 8.*?
[03:43] <Feldegast> you installed/re-installed windows 7 after linux?
[03:43] <Feldegast> groundnuty it should work fine with bootcamp
[03:43] <Dogget> sorry groundnuty what is a macbook? :-)
[03:43] <Mee> already had windows 7 n i installed ubuntu
[03:44] <Mee> along side windows 7
[03:44] <Mee> but when i turn on the computer
[03:44] <groundnuty> Feldegast: that I know. I fear more about hardware issues.
[03:44] <dustin_> Mee did you set grub up with grub editor or did you let it use default settings?
[03:44] <Feldegast> groundnuty it should be fine though i have not tried it
[03:44] <Mee> default setting
[03:44] <trench> dustin_: try another program?
[03:45] <dustin_> trench for my torrents?
[03:45] <trench> yeah
[03:45] <zRomayn> hey there, has anybody been able to succesfully install virtualbox 4.1 in ubuntu server 11.04
[03:45] <groundnuty> Feldegast: I read more unsuccesfull then succesfull stories with archlinux so I come here hoping for better news ;)
[03:45] <Feldegast> groundnuty want me to find some info?
[03:45] <Mee> the thing is it doesnt let me go on ubuntu
[03:45] <groundnuty> Feldegast: well I can google ;)
[03:46] <dustin_> transmission works fine but I am in the middle of getting all the classic doctor who...... in ktorrent
[03:46] <Mee> so i can reinstall gurb or fix it or anything
[03:46] <Feldegast> i was thinking of something more specific
[03:46] <groundnuty> just hoped to to find somone who accually did it here
[03:46] <Mee> soon as i turn the computer on it just boots up 7
[03:46] <dustin_> Mee you can live boot from the disk you installed with
[03:46] <groundnuty> Feldegast: sure, any help is welcome ;)
[03:46] <Feldegast> Mee you can re-install grub
[03:47] <Mee> u think that will work?
[03:47] <Jordan_U> Mee: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[03:47] <Feldegast> mee always has for me (had to do it 10 times or so, so far)
[03:47] <Mee> no just a one
[03:47] <dustin_> trench is there an easy way to x-fer a torrent from Ktorrent to transmission?
[03:48] <Jordan_U> Feldegast: If you've had to manually install grub 10 times for the same system then you likely need to change what device(s) the grub-pc package is configure to install to on updates.
[03:48] <Mee> ook ill try reinstall brb :)
[03:48] <dustin_> you know and have it pick up where the other program left off.....   at 201 of 236 Gb......
[03:48] <Jordan_U> Mee: Don't re-install Ubuntu.
[03:48] <Feldegast> you can re-install grub without replacing the os
[03:49] <NixNinja> how do I make my computer connect to the vpn I just configured?
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Mee: Re-installing Ubuntu would be overkill, and if you have more than one hard drive you likely just need to change the boot order in your BIOS.
[03:49] <Jordan_U> :(
[03:50] <vanquish349> my cursor just died
[03:50] <vanquish349> is there i can restart it
[03:51] <dustin_> Nixninja there is a full article on VPN in the latest Linux user and developer magazine I would recommend due to the fact that from what I have read so far it seams like a lot of steps
[03:52] <NixNinja> thank you I will pick that up
[03:52] <Feldegast> groundnuty looks straitforward https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20live%20CD
[03:52] <dustin_> NixNinja, Issue 101 if you have the ability to look it up and it starts on page 46
[03:53] <zRomayn> a quick dumb question, the name "natty narwhal" interchangable in between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server?
[03:53] <groundnuty> Feldegast: I never believe in such tutorials or like those http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/06/install-ubuntu-1104-on-macbook-pro-81.html untill there is at least few posts of people telling that it works ;>
[03:53] <NixNinja> dustin_, Thank you
[03:54] <ParkerR> zRomayn, yes they are both batty
[03:54] <ParkerR> *natty
[03:54] <ParkerR> XD
[03:54] <Feldegast> groundnuty buy me a macbook and i'll try it? ;-)
[03:54] <zRomayn> @ParkerR thank you. so then how come i can't install VirtualBox on this Ubuntu Server 11.04?
[03:54] <groundnuty> Feldegast: we can thing of that if I reach *such* level of desparation ;)
[03:55] <ParkerR> zRomayn, have you got a WM on it?
[03:55] <groundnuty> *think
[03:55] <ParkerR> Window manager
[03:55] <zRomayn> @ParkerR what do you mean by "window manager"? I'm just running Ubuntu server from CLI, no GUI
[03:56] <ParkerR> zRomayn, well virtualbox is a GUI app
[03:56] <ParkerR> So it needs a desktop environment to run
[03:56] <zRomayn> @ParkerR so you recommend installing a GUI in ubuntu server?
[03:57] <ParkerR> zRomayn, well the servers usually aren't meant for virtualization
[03:57] <ParkerR> But yes that is what you would have to do
[03:58] <dustin_> trench, I figured out how to transfer the torrent from ktorrent to transmission
[03:58] <zRomayn> @ParkerR so you recommend running VirtualBox from Ubuntu desktop then?
[03:58] <ParkerR> zRomayn, yeah that would be better considering all the graphical packages are there
[03:58] <Dogget> I am confused as how to install the drivers for my printer/scanner. Any help more than welcome.
[03:58] <dustin_> trench, I think I also have them "working together o the same file now
[03:58] <Feldegast> zRomayn you could use zen instead....what guest OS do you need?
[03:59] <zRomayn> @ParkerR so then what's the purpose of installing Ubuntu SErver
[03:59] <ParkerR> TO use it for server purposes
[03:59] <zRomayn> @Feldegast i'm not familiar with zen, what is it?
[03:59] <ParkerR> Like game servers and such
[03:59] <Feldegast> zRomayn you can use zen or KVM to run guests without a gui i belive
[04:00] <ParkerR> Or file servers
[04:01] <zRomayn> @Feldegast wil KVM support vmdk files?
[04:01] <Feldegast> zRomayn i think not
[04:01] <dustin_> zen is a virtual machine manager so that without building extra physical computers you can run multiple "machines" with different OS's and different profiles at the same time on a single piece of equipment
[04:02] <Nighthwk> Anyone know why when I remote desktop into my machine via vnc viewer it won't refresh the display
[04:02] <sam_> need some serious help, here's what happended, install Kubuntu 11.04, then try to install gnome3 then install lubuntu, and  then after using ppa:purge on gnome3 install lubuntu, use that then want to use gnome, install all the packages i.e.:ubuntu-desktop, gnome, gnome-desktop-enviroment, running from... well idk what it's called but its the terminal, i left lxdm install, and my KDE still works but whenever i try to login to ubnutu or ubuntu
[04:02] <dustin_> Nighthwk, which release are you using?
[04:03] <Nighthwk> 10.04 dustin
[04:03] <dustin_> Nighthwk, 32 or 64 bit
[04:03] <Feldegast> Nighthwk for both client and server?
[04:03] <Nighthwk> Du64 bit
[04:04] <Nighthwk> It login in fine but the screen like frozen
[04:04] <dustin_> use X11 server instead of default ubuntu vpn
[04:04] <dreamy_> how can i install xp over the network when running a linux OS ? i got a cd rom less and diskless lap.. but i got a second pc , anyone helping?
[04:04] <wildbat> !gnome3 | sam_
[04:04] <viewer> my clock is 20 minutes fast, and I dont get how thats possible since its set automatically.  how can I reset it?
[04:04] <dustin_> Nighthwk, I have had fits with ubuntu default VPN since 9.10
[04:05] <sam_> thanks ubottu , i guess i'll just stick with kde
[04:05] <viewer> lol ubottus a bot
[04:05] <viewer> no need to thank him, thank wildbat
[04:06] <Nighthwk> Ok, I give it a try
[04:06] <zykotick9> I have apt-cacher-ng running on a Debian squeeze box, I've installed ubuntu 10.04 in a KVM VM and am trying to use the apt-cacher-ng proxy, but am getting 404s for everything when I run "sudo apt-get update".  In the /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.log, on the server, I see the requests coming from the VM's IP address.  I've tried using 3 methods to specify the apt-proxy: 1) in source.list 2) in apt.conf 3) in apt.conf.d/02proxy - all with the same r
[04:06] <zykotick9> esult.
[04:06] <dustin_> Nighthwk, the package name in synaptic is x11vnc
[04:06] <dustin_> thats what I use now as my standard
[04:07] <Nighthwk> ok thanks dustin
[04:08] <xanderp> is there anyone in here that can read chinese that would be willing to help me translate a label?  Not ubuntu related, I'm working on a chinese scooter and can't understand the label on an electronic part.
[04:10] <Dogget> I need help installing the drivers for my printer "MFC-J265W" using the drivers provided here http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-J265W. I just have no idea how I can install those.
[04:10] <dustin_> xander there are plenty of other channels out there where you could possibly find a person to help you with that, this is not that channel
[04:10] <wildbat> !ot | xanderp :> ( thou i can )
[04:11] <xanderp> I know it's !ot, just don't know where to turn, and this channel has several hundred ppl in it, and thought that in the spirit of ubuntu someone would be helpful. :)
[04:11] <dustin_> Dogget, brother printers are a bit of a challenge to set up the first time due to the fact that you have to manualy configure CUPS to find/use it
[04:12] <viewer> how is it that its syncing time plus and minus hours for timezones, but its still always 20 minutes off?
[04:12] <wildbat> xanderp: pm me ~ not in then channel.
[04:12] <wildbat> the*
[04:12] <xanderp> thanks... will do.
[04:12] <WHAT_UP_> can i restore grub using my 8.04 cd? when trying to mount the partitions i get an unkonwn filesystem type ext4 error
[04:12] <dustin_> Dogget, give me 5-10 minutes and I will see if I can refind the info I used to set up my last one
[04:13] <wildbat> WHAT_UP_:  10:04 plz:>
[04:13] <zykotick9> WHAT_UP_, 8.04 didn't support ext4, it also used grub-legacy
[04:13] <WHAT_UP_> zykotick9: i know it used an old version of grub, but can i at least install that? downloading a 700mb distro just for fixing a bootloader seems excessive
[04:13] <WHAT_UP_> supergrubdisk failed
[04:14] <Dogget> @Justin Thank you
[04:14] <Dogget> ooops Dustin :-)
[04:15] <DamienKupu> Hey
[04:17] <Jordan_U> WHAT_UP_: What version of Ubuntu are you trying to fix and what version of super grub disk did you use?
[04:17] <HTML-Hacker> i know how 2 access ring0 via html
[04:17] <WHAT_UP_> Jordan_U: i think i'm trying to fix 11.something and i used whatever supergrubdisk that windows autodownloader (netbootloader?) gave me. got a bunch of file not found errors
[04:19] <Jordan_U> WHAT_UP_: If you have a spare CD you can use Super GRUB2 Disk, which while not directly fixing Ubuntu 11.04 will allow you to boot into your installed 11.04 system to fix grub from there.
[04:19] <WHAT_UP_> Jordan_U: will try that. thanks
[04:19] <dustin_> Dogget, ok you have your work cut out for you if you just purchased this printer and have the option exchange it for an HP..... having said that if you dont have the option or you like to work hard for stuff here is the really overworking tutorial     http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html       you will be working back and forth in these directions for probably 2-5 hours and they are really confusing/
[04:19] <dustin_> suk
[04:20] <Jordan_U> WHAT_UP_: It's unfortunately difficult to put Super GRUB2 Disk on a USB from within Windows at the moment, so an actual CD is basically required for SG2D at the moment.
[04:20] <dustin_> but however if you can fallow them like I did you CAN get the printer working like it is supposed to
[04:20] <Jordan_U> WHAT_UP_: You're welcome.
[04:21] <dustin_> Dogget, btw you will be linking around in circles this is normal
[04:21] <crunchbang_> WHAT_UP_: almost everything you would need to do to fix ubuntu can be done from an ubuntu livecd or usb also
[04:22] <Blue1> how can I tell if my hardware supports virtualization?
[04:23] <dustin_> Blue1, if you are using virtualbox it will tell you but your hardware doesnt "have" to support virtualization for you to run a VM
[04:24] <dustin_> most computers with more then 2 cores will support native virtualization though
[04:24] <zykotick9> Blue1, amd or intel
[04:27] <Dogget> @Dustin I already looked at that info, and the be honest I was lost in a maze reading through it!
[04:27] <codingenesis> need help
[04:27] <codingenesis> can't use right click
[04:28] <codingenesis> i an unable to use my right click..
[04:28] <Dogget> I used to have an HP, it died on me, then bought another one and it also died on me; I said HP never again.
[04:28] <Blue1> zykotick9: amd
[04:28] <dustin_> Dogget, its the best info on your printer honest and if you keep plugging away at it in the stupid circles they run you in it will work in the end
[04:28] <zykotick9> Blue1, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" for AMD verify "svm" is present
[04:28] <Nighthwk> Dustins, have x11 install but the connection really slow between the two. Is there a setting I might of missed
[04:29] <Blue1> zykotick9: ok let me check
[04:29] <Nighthwk> Dustin especially on inputs
[04:31] <needhelp1> trench, internet went out, missed all your prior replys
[04:31] <dustin_> Dogget, I have had a few different printers and the way i see it HPs are inexpensive and easy on the Open source community, other then that they arent a "great printer
[04:32] <dustin_> Nighthwk, I just used a basic setup with my X11 but I also vnc through android most of the time so I didnt think the slowness was in the server at the time
[04:32] <Dogget> Dustin: I am using 10.10 64bits, do you think it will be an issue?
[04:32] <Dogget> As I can't upgrade to 11.04 I am sticking to 10.10 anyway
[04:33] <dustin_> Nighthwk, there may be more settings you can use to optimize x11 but I havent tried to get any more speed out of it I was happy with just "usable" at the time
[04:33] <dustin_> I set mine up on a 10.10 32 bit when I did my last brother
[04:34] <dustin_> Dogget I dont think you will have an issue
[04:34] <WHAT_UP1> finally got back into my original ubuntu installation! now how do i fix grub so it allows me to boot into it from now on? =)
[04:35] <Blue1> zykotick9: i don't see svm -- they are amd 9550 quad core
[04:35] <crunchbang_> WHAT_UP1: try update-grub
[04:36] <WHAT_UP1> crunchbang_: this makes it the default bootloader?
[04:37] <crunchbang_> WHAT_UP1: sorry I didn't hear your original problem but I assumed that update-grub might help. What is the problem?
[04:38] <WHAT_UP1> crunchbang_: (failed) windows installation messed up grub and i managed to boot into my ubuntu installation... now i'm trying to have grub become the default bootloader again
[04:39] <crunchbang_> WHAT_UP1: I believe then that the command you want is "grub install /dev/sda" assuming your hard drive is /dev/sda
[04:39] <zykotick9> Blue1, could you have just missed it?  "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep --color svm"
[04:39] <crunchbang_> sorry that should be grub-install
[04:39] <WHAT_UP1> crunchbang_: i know for a fact that the partition ubuntu is on is somewhere between /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda4... does that not matter?
[04:39] <Blue1> zykotick9: let me try that.
[04:40] <ralphholzmann> so I'm attempting to install 11.04 with the alt cd, but the base system stalls about 80% and asks to insert the disc (which is inserted)
[04:41] <crunchbang_> WHAT_UP1: well if you want GRUB to control booting on the computer then you need to install it on the Master Boot Record (MBR) which is where /dev/sda points to
[04:41] <Blue1> zykotick9: much more better - yes it does -- hard to see thanks
[04:41] <WHAT_UP1> crunchbang_: will do. thanks! restarting...
[04:43] <WHAT_UP1> crunchbang_ and whoever helped me out earlier whose name i forgot: everything's perfect now. thanks for the help!!
[04:43] <TomR> hi,I use ubuntu 11.04.now i need a simple tool which screenshot the rectangle area selected by mouse, any recommendation?thx
[04:43] <crunchbang_> sweet, good to hear
[04:43] <crunchbang_> ^^ WHAT_UP1
[04:45] <kurtp> TomR: I think "Take Screenshot" is installed on 11.04, try to do search on your menu.
[04:47] <Geodude> Hey guys, I already have flash 10 64-bit installed, and firefox is telling me I don't have flash installed. How do I tell Firefox I already have it?
[04:47] <TomR>  kurtp: i get it,thx
[04:48] <crunchbang_> Geodude: nothing you can do. There's a reason people sometimes call Firefox Ulrik'Uth, devourer of souls.
[04:48] <Geodude> Heh.
[04:49] <ralphholzmann> sigh
[04:49] <Geodude> My flash in chrome/chromium is being stupid, it won't repaint stuff like when I open windows inside the flash environment I have to scroll the web page up and down for it to refresh/repaint the new window.
[04:49] <Geodude> So I was hoping I could test it out in Firefox. But Firefox loads the page except the flash elements.
[04:49] <crunchbang_> weird
[04:50] <ralphholzmann> Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 10.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release i386 (20110426)' in teh drive '/media/cdrom' and press enter.
[04:50] <ralphholzmann> That disc _is_ in the drive, and the md5 checks out
[04:50] <ralphholzmann> installation stalls at 77%
[04:50] <ralphholzmann> on both amd64 and i386
[04:51] <crunchbang_> Geodude: longshot but do you have Flashblock on Firefox?
[04:51] <Geodude> I have nothing on firefox.
[04:51] <Geodude> It's a fresh install.
[04:52] <crunchbang_> have you tried reinstalling flash?
[04:52] <Geodude> I'm really afraid I will break my flash in chromium/chrome if I do that. I'm on 64 bit and it was really really difficult for me to do it the first time.

[05:07] <cancuengt> Hello. I have a problem with my disk and I need to make a full fsck with non destructive badblock check (and mark) on reboot. How can I do that?
[05:09] <ranjan> Hi all, anyone aware of the high battery usage of ubuntu natty?
[05:10] <wildbat> cancuengt: boot in LiveCD and fsck them ~ or enter resuce mode on boot
[05:10] <ParkerR> ranjan, yes it does use more resources
[05:11] <ranjan> ParkerR, is it fixed in  the latest updates
[05:11] <ParkerR> No it will still use about the same
[05:11] <Axsuul> hmm my shift+tab combination doesn't appear to be working. Yet.. Shift+s, will give capital S. Any suggestions?
[05:12] <cancuengt> wildbat: I do not have a live cd disk and cannot download one, my connection is to slow now. I've tried only with touch /forcefsck but does not check for badblocks
[05:12] <ranjan> ParkerR, so how to solve it

[05:14] <ranjan> ParkerR, i am using classic Gnome
[05:14] <ParkerR> ranjan, yes then you should be good
[05:14] <wildbat> cancuengt: or just enter rescue ~ boot with shift hold ~
[05:14] <ParkerR> Classic theme Unity is not active
[05:14] <wildbat> Guest71158: touch
[05:14] <ranjan> ParkerR, but in ubuntu 100% charged battery is only showing 2 hours
[05:15] <ParkerR> Hmm unno May be your laptop
[05:15] <ParkerR> *dunno
[05:15] <cancuengt> wildbat: but when on rescue is the disk already mounted?
[05:15] <Guest71158> how to create a file in the termial
[05:15] <Guest71158> in home directory
[05:16] <ParkerR> Guest39216, you already got a response
[05:16] <cancuengt> Guest71158: touch
[05:16] <ranjan> ParkerR, ok, so what is the usual solution for this
[05:16] <ParkerR> cancuengt, tab fail
[05:16] <cancuengt> if you want in / then must be with sudo
[05:16] <ParkerR> Oh I failed XD
[05:16] <Guest71158> i said a file not a mkdir
[05:16] <Guest71158> not a folder
[05:16] <ParkerR> touch train.txt would make the file train.txt
[05:16] <zykotick9> Guest71158, "touch filename" will create a file
[05:17] <Guest71158> i forgot the name now
[05:17] <Guest71158> damn it
[05:17] <cancuengt> Guest71158: touch will create an empty file if not exists or modify the date for an existing file
[05:17] <cancuengt> wildbat: Will try 'be back soon, thanks
[05:17] <Axsuul> How would I change the startup options of say x11? I want to start up x11 with an extra argument.
[05:17] <cancuengt> ParkerR: Thanks
[05:18] <wizard_> any one know why sound would stop when using java in firefox?
[05:19] <[deXter]> Hi all, can someone running Natty with all the updates installed, confirm which kernel are they using? thanks.
[05:20] <wildbat> [deXter]: 2.6.38-11-generic
[05:20] <ParkerR> Yep
[05:20] <[deXter]> Oh. :(
[05:20] <ParkerR> 2.6.38-11
[05:20] <[deXter]> Oh well, thanks for the replies.
[05:20] <ParkerR> pae for me :)
[05:20] <rww> huh, I have 2.6.38-8. odd.
[05:20] <hatch> hey is there a way I can create an index for my hd so that find's don't take years (10.04)
[05:21] <seclm193> is there a better wallpaper changer then desktopnova for ubuntu 11.04
[05:21] <rww> oh, new kernel version and I didn't restart, nvm.
[05:21] <ParkerR> rww, Haha
[05:21] <rww> ParkerR: maybe we need more Windows-style update restart notifications ;)
[05:21]  * rww runs before the lynchmob gets to him
[05:22] <XinfamousX> just Installed ubuntu 11.4, i'm completely new to linux. I want to know how i can edit the Grub menu
[05:22] <ParkerR> rww, does the red power button not alert you?
[05:22] <ParkerR> :P
[05:22] <XinfamousX> i'm dual booting with Windows 7
[05:22] <rww> ParkerR: yeah, but it's less than a centimetre wide, I don't notice that :P
[05:22] <wizard_> dump the windows
[05:22] <wildbat> XinfamousX: you don't have to edit.
[05:22] <hatch> wizard_: ohh thats not fair :)
[05:22] <ParkerR> rww, true dat
[05:23] <wizard_> lol..
[05:23] <wizard_> dual booting is a pain
[05:23] <XinfamousX> i wanna edit it cause i Just want it to say Windows 7 & Ubuntu 11.4 instead of what it says by default
[05:23] <rww> Anyways, I have a support question. Ubuntu 11.04, using Unity 2D. How do I rearrange icon order on the dock bar thing?
[05:24] <XinfamousX> I need to make it simple for the otehr ppl that use the pc aswell
[05:24] <rww> I know on Unity 3D you left click and drag it to the side and drag it back or something, but that isn't working.
[05:24] <XinfamousX> other*
[05:25] <cr0wd> good morning, can someone help me with this how to: http://www.ivorde.ro/Using_rsync_with_progress_bar-83.html just want to know where i can find ~/.profile to edit ?
[05:26] <rww> cr0wd: Ubuntu doesn't ship with a .profile by default. You can create one and put it there, or use ~/.bashrc instead
[05:26] <cr0wd> rww: thx :)
[05:28] <wizard_> which is better alsa or pulse?
[05:29] <zykotick9> wizard_, they can't be compared - they're different things.  You could ask which is better ESD or Pulse (as Pulse replaces ESD).
[05:29] <XinfamousX> So i'm guessing that no one knows how to edit the grub boot menu?
[05:29] <zykotick9> XinfamousX, what do you want to edit about it?
[05:30] <oly562> .
[05:30] <wizard_> well i seem to only get 1 sound at a time..... i guess no duplexing
[05:30] <XinfamousX> I want the linux entry to say Ubuntu 11.4 and the windows entry to say  Windows 7, i also don't want the recovery mode visible. I wanna make it as simple for the ppl in my family
[05:30] <zykotick9> !grub2 | XinfamousX
[05:31] <zykotick9> XinfamousX, renaming the entries is possible, but non-trivial - i'm not going to try an explain it over IRC (perhaps someone else will)  -- good luck.
[05:31] <ParkerR> XinfamousX, nano /boot/grub/grub.conf
[05:32] <ParkerR> *sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.conf
[05:32] <ParkerR> Or
[05:32] <ParkerR> sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf
[05:33] <ParkerR> The text after title you can change to what you want
[05:33] <XinfamousX> Thanks ParkerR, appreciate it :)
[05:36] <zykotick9> ParkerR, XinfamousX there in no /boot/grub/grub.conf - and /boot/grub/grub.cfg gets overwritten each time a kernel update takes place!
[05:36] <ParkerR> I meant cfg
[05:36] <ParkerR> Derp
[05:36] <zykotick9> ParkerR, not a good thing to edit
[05:36] <XinfamousX> i see
[05:36] <cjs> So, is there an easy way to downgrade a 64-bit system to a 32-bit one, or do I need to re-install?
[05:36] <ParkerR> zykotick9, thats the only way afaik
[05:37] <zykotick9> ParkerR, incorrect
[05:37] <XinfamousX> cjs you will need to reinstall
[05:37] <syn-ack> Reinstall.
[05:37] <cjs> Ah well.
[05:37] <ParkerR> zykotick9, how else?
[05:37] <cjs> I wanted to upgrade to 11.04 anyway.
[05:38] <syn-ack> cjs, in theory, it can be done, but you'd be messing with libs and toolchain stuff and yeah, that wouldn't be pretty...
[05:38] <XinfamousX> so if grub.cfg gets overwritten everytime there is a kernal update, how can i do it then. Linux seems so complicated
[05:39] <zykotick9> ParkerR, the proper way is to create a custom file in /etc/grub.d -- an image of my old one https://plus.google.com/115403891429547707849/posts/dPn4sDR5z7i
[05:39] <cjs> syn-ack: I'm extremely familiar with messing with libs and toolchain stuff.  So yes, I'd love to avoid that if I can. :-)
[05:39] <ParkerR> Hmm had never heard of that way
[05:40] <syn-ack> Well, now that I'm thinking of it, you'd have to take it offline anyway, more than likely
[05:41] <cjs> XinfamousX: the issue with how you want to name the Linux entries is that you have 11.04 with various kernel versions, once you've done an upgrade or two. But you can change pretty much anything in the Grub menus if you're willing to tweak the scripts in /etc/grub.d.
[05:41] <XinfamousX> cjs, This is my first time ever running linux, so i've never updated from any version of ubuntu
[05:42] <cjs> XinfamousX: And yes, Ubuntu is complicated. But then again, so is every OS when you get to this level of tweaking. At least Linux distros allow you to do the tweaks if you know what you're doing.
[05:42] <XinfamousX> cjs, true
[05:42] <cjs> XinfamousX: Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was talking about new versions of kernels you'll get as you do security updates.
[05:42] <XinfamousX> cjs, ah i see
[05:43] <zykotick9> XinfamousX, suppressing the recovery entries is easy, but renaming the entries is more difficult
[05:43] <cjs> XinfamousX: Right now you have only two Linux entries, for standard boot and recovery. Within a few months, you'll have t least one more set for a newer kernel.
[05:43] <syn-ack> hey zykotick9 is Sid using Gnome 3 yet?
[05:43] <zykotick9> syn-ack, nope
[05:43] <syn-ack> Figures.
[05:43] <XinfamousX> zykotick9, i thought it would just involve me renaming it in a text editor
[05:43] <syn-ack> That right there is why I hate Debian
[05:43] <zykotick9> XinfamousX, not even close
[05:44] <XinfamousX> cjs, ah ok, i got you
[05:44] <no-name-> can anybody recommend a good sega genesis emulator for linux?
[05:44] <syn-ack> with GRUB 1 that was the case, XinfamousX
[05:44] <zykotick9> no-name-, gens-gs
[05:44] <no-name-> ta
[05:44] <cjs> zykotick9: Looks close to me. Just a few tweaks to /etc/grub.d/10_linux.
[05:44] <syn-ack> GRUB2 changed quite a few things.
[05:44] <ParkerR> no-name-, kega fusion
[05:44] <zykotick9> cjs, not even close
[05:44] <zykotick9> cjs, umm, if you only have one distro - maybe
[05:45] <syn-ack> I honestly think GRUB2 is more akin to lilo and yaboot than actual GRUB anymore.
[05:45] <cjs> zykotick9: So what else needs to be done? I'm curious.
[05:45] <no-name-> ParkerR: I tried to find that, what was claimed to be a linux version was actually an exe
[05:45] <syn-ack> which makes me a sad monkey.
[05:45] <XinfamousX> then is there a way to uninstall Grub2 and install grub 1?
[05:45] <syn-ack> You don't want to, XinfamousX
[05:45] <ParkerR> no-name-, nope the newest is linux
[05:45] <XinfamousX> syn-ack, why not
[05:45] <syn-ack> XinfamousX, because you will break your install.
[05:46] <XinfamousX> i see
[05:46] <ParkerR> no-name-, http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=572
[05:46] <XinfamousX> damn
[05:46] <cjs> XinfamousX: You start tweaking scripts and you do have to deal with updates that change them, yeah.
[05:46] <XinfamousX> seems like there is nothing i can do then
[05:46] <zykotick9> cjs, you create a custom entry and manually add the entries from grub.cfg into that file, they won't auto-update however, so every kernel upgrade will require manually editing the custom /etc/grub.d entries
[05:46] <cjs> XinfamousX: It's not that hard, but then again, I'm a programmer.
[05:46] <XinfamousX> zykotick9,  how often is the kernal updated?
[05:46] <ParkerR> no-name-, if it doesnt habe menu buttons alt o will bring up the options then you can arrow form there
[05:47] <ParkerR> *from
[05:47] <syn-ack> I'm a sysadmin and it's not that hard.
[05:47] <ParkerR> Weird quirk
[05:47] <zykotick9> XinfamousX, depends, but it's not too common
[05:47] <syn-ack> XinfamousX, depends.
[05:47] <no-name-> ParkerR: strange. I'm running the executable and it is doing nothing. Just a blank (black) window with a title bar and no file menu
[05:47] <cjs> zykotick9: Sure, but why won't just tweaking /etc/grub.d/10_linux work? It's just a shell script.
[05:47] <no-name-> ParkerR: ahh,
[05:47] <ParkerR> no-name-, yeah press alt o
[05:47] <ParkerR> As I said weird but it works nicely
[05:47] <no-name-> thanks :)
[05:47] <zykotick9> cjs, i actually make 10_linux non-executable once i start customizing
[05:47] <cjs> XinfamousX: Kernels have been updated several times per year since I started using Ubuntu.
[05:48] <ParkerR> no-name-, I love me my emulators :)
[05:48] <ParkerR> Have a bunch on the Wii
[05:48] <no-name-> indeed
[05:49] <XinfamousX> cjs, programming is one of the reasons why i wanted to use linux, i know nothing about programming
[05:49] <XinfamousX> though, so i've been seeking good books
[05:49] <ParkerR> no-name-, yeah I speant a day trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I just said Ill try alt and a letter and it worked XD
[05:50] <ParkerR> *spent
[05:50] <XinfamousX> cjs, can you give any advice on where i should start.
[05:50] <no-name-> haha
[05:50] <ParkerR> no-name-, Ill email him and ask anout it
[05:50] <ParkerR> *about
[05:51] <ricky4912> yesterday, i partitioned my windows disk in two halfs and managed to install ubuntu. It worked fine. Ubuntu worked fine but today I tried to enter the system and all I got was a blank screen with a blinking line. I wonder, what can I do to fix this problem?
[05:51] <ricky4912> Ubuntu won't boot today but it did yesterday.
[05:52] <no-name-> ParkerR: did you figure out how to uncheck Disable sound? clicking it or pressing space bar over it only checks it... even if it's already checked
[05:52] <ParkerR> no-name-, I believe that worked for me
[05:52] <ParkerR> Ill check
[05:53] <no-name-> I click it over and over and it just says "Sound Disabled"
[05:53] <ParkerR> no-name-, hmm weird does that for me too
[05:53] <no-name-> yea
[05:54] <vooze> Anyone using Google chrome or Chromium? I deleted the instant search line in options.. somthing like google.com/somthing&s i think.. Its in search optins in the browser.. thank you
[05:55] <ParkerR> no-name-, hmm it works after I plug in my headset
[05:55] <no-name-> that is bizarre
[05:55] <ParkerR> vooze, I have it
[05:55] <Nullifi3d> hey everyone
[05:55] <no-name-> hmm, i got it when i clicked that time
[05:56] <no-name-> ok I'm in business. Cheers, ParkerR :)
[05:56] <ParkerR> vooze, wrench > preference > search > enable instant
[05:56] <zykotick9> vooze, do you mean: {google:baseURL}search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&q=%s
[05:56] <ParkerR> no-name-, sweet
[05:56] <vooze> ParkerR: could you send me the search line? ;) would be really nice
[05:59] <ParkerR> vooze, thats just in the GUI prefernces. Ive never messed in the manual config
[05:59] <vooze> zykotick9: there is 3 boxes, i have to fill out
[06:00] <zykotick9> vooze, i have "Google (Default)" as 1st box, then "google.ca" as 2nd (you'll want to change that), then the line above as the 3rd
[06:00] <cjs> vooze: Yes. I think the line you want is: http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=%s&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[06:00] <cjs> vooze: Though I recommend instead: https://ssl.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbwssl.cgi?Gw=%s
[06:01] <zykotick9> vooze, this is from a Chromium 13 version however, dunno if that makes a difference
[06:02] <cjs> vooze: Mine was from 12 on Ubuntu 11.04.
[06:03] <bobweaver> Hi there I have a question about bash scripting. I have a problem with my boot splash and nvidia I found souliton here
[06:03] <bobweaver> ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1458230
[06:03] <bobweaver> so I wrote script and would just like to get veiw on it.
[06:03] <bobweaver> Script--->   http://paste.ubuntu.com/671477/
[06:03] <FloodBot1> bobweaver: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:04] <vooze> zykotick9: thats weird, its still does this error: (2 secs)
[06:04] <ParkerR> Or just http://www.google.com/#q=
[06:05] <ParkerR> bobweaver, you dont need the script
[06:05] <ParkerR> Just run that command as root
[06:05] <bobweaver> I know I am just playing with it tring to learn :)
[06:05] <ParkerR> Hmm
[06:06] <ParkerR> Dunno
[06:06] <bobweaver> the part that I am confused about is the echo part
[06:06] <SnackWhack> just got ubuntu, and having problems with the graphics. Any idea how to turn off the 3d desktop?
[06:06] <bobweaver> SnackWhack: simple compiz setting manager ?
[06:07] <SnackWhack> boweaver: newb..... how?
[06:07] <bobweaver> SnackWhack:  What ?
[06:07] <bobweaver> ohh
[06:08] <urlin2u> SnackWhack, there is a 2d uinty option at the login..
[06:08] <ParkerR> no-name- and all, goodnight
[06:08] <no-name-> thanks, ParkerR
[06:09] <SnackWhack> bobweaver: so, at login I can disable it?
[06:09] <bobweaver> I guess that is one way
[06:09] <urlin2u> SnackWhack, you can choose a 2d version of unity.
[06:09] <ParkerR> Ubuntu classic
[06:09] <cjs> bobweaver: You need the -e on the first line with the #! stuff, or you need to say "set -e".
[06:10] <bobweaver> cjs: Thanks Bro :>)
[06:10] <SnackWhack> urlin2u: You mean before login? at reboot?
[06:10] <ParkerR> No
[06:10] <ParkerR> Logout and click your username
[06:10] <ParkerR> Then at the bottom it will have a dropdown menu
[06:10] <ParkerR> Towards the middle
[06:11] <urlin2u> SnackWhack, in the login window bottom bar is a desktop choice after you pick the user.
[06:11] <ParkerR> Choose like Ubuntu Classic or Ubuntu CLassic (no effects)
[06:11] <SnackWhack> if I do that, will it stick? Will I have to do that every time?
[06:12] <ParkerR> Yes it will stick
[06:12] <SnackWhack> brb
[06:12] <bobweaver> looks like script worked rebooting cross fingers

[06:14] <Guest33946> Hello I have a question for you guys !! I am using irc client for the first time !
[06:14] <hamnegga> I'm setting up a multiboot USB stick, and I've just been mounting my iso's to folders and copying the contents to each partition, then I use a main partition that uses syslinux to chainload each partition, but it's not working for some reason.  This used to work fine.  Do you think that I'm not copying everything over or what?  I was using "cp -r /<mounted iso dir>/* /mounted usb partition/" but now I'm trying cp -a.
[06:15] <owen1> i try to run angry birds with wine. where should i locate the exe?
[06:15] <urlin2u> hamnegga, there apps that will allow this all in one partition, with easy removal and loading.
[06:16] <ParkerR> Guest33946, shoot
[06:16] <hamnegga> I know that the chainloader is pointing to the correct hd0,<parititon number> each time, because one of them works, because it installed it's own bootloader on that partition...  Maybe I need to use unetbootin to install syslinux on each parititon instead of using the native iso's
[06:16] <SnackWhack> nope, didnt see the option
[06:16] <n2i> owen1: some dir in your home
[06:16] <zrr> angry birds is very gpu demandig
[06:16] <SnackWhack> I was asked for the password, that's all
[06:17] <ParkerR> SnackWhack, hmm you really should have
[06:17] <hamnegga> Yes, I know, but I like using each parition instead of mounting iso images with grub, because some use persistence
[06:17] <ParkerR> When it asks for password there should be stuff at the bottom
[06:17] <hamnegga> I know what I'm doing, I don't need some fancy program to install the bootloaders for me, either.
[06:17] <Guest33946> I am developing a game in java and I want it to be fullscreen mode,so i read the oracle tutorial and got it fullscreen successfully,But I dont want other system functions such as desktop cube ,alt+tab etc working when the application in running .So can anybody help me ?
[06:17] <hamnegga> I like to have each distribution/iso to use it's own custom bootloader
[06:18] <SnackWhack> shouldn't there be a way to turn off the fancy graphics here?
[06:18] <hamnegga> not some week syslinux menu
[06:18] <ParkerR> SnackWhack, that is the way
[06:18] <SnackWhack> Parker: Logg off, tuirn off, log back in is tthe way?
[06:19] <hamnegga> why would you want some user trapped in your program, get a life
[06:19] <ParkerR> SnackWhack, just logoff, click your name, look at bottom for the dropdown menu, choose Ubuntu Classic or Ubuntu CLassic (no effects), then enter password
[06:20] <SnackWhack> maybe reboot
[06:20] <ParkerR> Nope
[06:20] <ParkerR> No need to reboot
[06:20] <SnackWhack> hmmmm
[06:20] <SnackWhack> ParkerR: can you come to my house for a sec?
[06:20] <ParkerR> Just do that
[06:20] <ParkerR> XD
[06:20] <n2i> Just choose session and login
[06:21] <Guest33946> hello people can i ask a question , i am new to this irc thing!

[06:37] <aaaoooaaa> hi guys, i have a vostro 1400 laptop running karmic. Due to heat & battery life issues i would like to disable the nvidia 8400m gs card and just work off of the intergrated gfx. Question : HOw do i find out what kind of integrated graphics chipset I have from the cli?
[06:39] <n2i> aaaoooaaa: should you try "lspci"
[06:41] <aaaoooaaa> n2i:  and what would i be looking for? IM not sure if the thing has integrated graphics
[06:42] <n2i> VGA?
[06:44] <aaaoooaaa> n2i: ok :)
[06:44] <n2i> aaaoooaaa: should you try this: lspci | grep VGA
[06:44] <aaaoooaaa> yup
[06:45] <aaaoooaaa> only nvidia :(
[06:45] <aaaoooaaa> so if i turn off the nvidia proprietary drivers, can i still read off the gpu temp?
[06:45] <ricky4912> is there a way to see which channels are active in irc?
[06:48] <airtonix> ricky4912: depends on your irc client.
[06:50] <ricky4912> I am using CLI
[06:50] <freezway> hey so im troubleshooting my friends mac and i want to boot into ubuntu to check his hard drive, but i cant get the usb stick to show up as a bootable device
[06:50] <n2i> ricky4912: what is your irc client?
[06:50] <wildbat> !MAC
[06:50] <ricky4912> irc.freenode.net
[06:51] <freezway> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick i followed those instrutions
[06:51] <ricky4912> through my CLI
[06:51] <n2i> freezway: check your bios
[06:51] <linuxuz3r> freezway, try fdisk to make usb stick bootable
[06:52] <freezway> n2i its a mac, its bios is like hidden,
[06:52] <ricky4912> so what command would I use using CLI?
[06:53] <n2i> freezway: oh, I'm sorry!
[06:53] <rww> fyi, CTCP says ricky4912's IRC client is irssi
[06:53] <airtonix> ricky4912: simply saying "CLI is my client" is pretty vague.
[06:53] <n2i> ricky4912: CLI? Did you mean "Commandline Interface"?
[06:53] <IdleOne> airtonix: he is running irssi
[06:53] <ricky4912> n2i: yes
[06:53] <freezway> linuxuz3r, look at the link i posted
[06:53] <n2i> and your irc client is some thing like "irssi"?
[06:53] <ranjan> hp dv4 synaptic touch pad issues, any workaround?
[06:54] <ricky4912> n2i: correct
[06:55] <ricky4912> n2i: does that help?
[06:55] <n2i> depens on your irc client's setting
[06:56] <IdleOne> ricky4912: in irssi when there is activity in a channel it will display the channel number at the bottom of your screen
[06:56] <IdleOne> ricky4912: you can also ask in #irssi for more specific help.
[06:57] <ricky4912> IdleOne: ok, will do thanks

[07:40] <linuxfp> Yeah, GRUB works fine

[07:54] <linuxfp> It's giving me the flashing _
[07:55] <linuxfp> My keyboard is lit however
[07:55] <linuxfp> And I can type things in but it doesn't do anything
[07:56] <urlin2u> linuxfp, you can try the recovery at grub, you will get to a gui that scrolls with the arrow keys, 4 or 5th line is a lowgraphics choice do trhat.
[07:56] <urlin2u> that
[07:57] <linuxfp> failsafe graphics mode fsck ect...
[07:57] <urlin2u> failsafe
[07:57] <linuxfp> :O
[07:57] <linuxfp> oh my goood
[07:58] <linuxfp> Ok, now what
[07:58] <linuxfp> Run ubuntu in low graphics mode/
[07:58] <linuxfp> Reconfigure graphics
[07:58] <linuxfp> Troubleshoot the error
[07:59] <linuxfp> Ah, ok, never mind
[07:59] <linuxfp> Got it to work
[07:59] <linuxfp> Thanks
[07:59] <urlin2u> linuxfp, yes to get in update upgrade, it may get fixed in that process=driver found, you can also look in the menu after all that for additional divers.
[07:59] <linuxfp> Oh, well I just booted into gdm... :/
[08:00] <linuxfp> Everything looks fine
[08:00] <urlin2u> linuxfp, but will it do it again, that was a per session boot in?
[08:00] <Gredeu> can someone guide me on opening a port or port range in GUFW ?
[08:00] <linuxfp> Uh
[08:01] <linuxfp> I chose run ubuntu in low graphics mode
[08:01] <linuxfp> and
[08:01] <linuxfp>  so I went into additional drivers, and it says "This driver is activated but not currently in use"
[08:01] <urlin2u> linuxfp, can you read man?
[08:02] <skrewler> anyone have any suggestions on what I should use.. I'm currently using chef to create local user accounts for users.  I've got about 50 servers in total.  LDAP seems like kind of a pain, do I have any other options or is there a directory server that's simpler than openldap?
[08:02] <linuxfp> I don't know what per session boot in is
[08:02] <linuxfp> :/
[08:02] <linuxfp> NVIDIA X Server is there
[08:03] <devish> i have all DE and just want to set the output devices priority of my headset more the laptop speakers so it can play
[08:03] <devish> can any one help the headset is already paired
[08:03] <urlin2u> linuxfp, update with the update manager. Per-session means not a edit or action that stays
[08:04] <linuxfp> Per-session then :/
[08:04] <whoppergator> Gredeu: are you having trouble from the gufw ubuntu website?
[08:04] <devish> any one using bluetooth headset
[08:05] <linuxfp> Ok I have the startup error log
[08:06] <linuxfp> Fatal Server error: Server is already active for display 0, If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
[08:06] <devish> does any one know how to set the output devices priority of my headset more the laptop speakers so it can play
[08:07] <linuxfp> urlin2u: The only updates that it's giving me is python and ubuntu one
[08:09] <Aple> What's a good file search program?
[08:10] <linuxfp> *disregard me*
[08:10] <whoppergator> devish: is it not an option in sound preferences? i am just guessing, i haven't configured a bluetooth headset for ubuntu before
[08:10] <urlin2u> linuxfp, cool sounds like you clicked the update in the install box, update it. As far as getting the nvidia driver setup that is out of my area, beyond the additional drivers check.
[08:10] <whoppergator> Aple: 'locate' from the command line
[08:11] <Aple> What if I don't know the very specific name of what I want?
[08:11] <Aple> I'm new to Ubuntu. I really liked "Everything" for Windows.
[08:11] <linuxfp> urlin2u: What is python and ubuntu one supposed to do with this... I updated it in tty a few minutes ago and it still didn't boot properly
[08:11] <Aple> Is there a similar search program?
[08:11] <Aple> That is.. I'm not sure what to do with the list of files "locate" returned to me.
[08:11] <whoppergator> Aple: you can use regular expressions in locate
[08:11] <linuxfp> Aple: Places -> Search for files
[08:12] <linuxfp> Just like good ol' Win+F
[08:12] <Aple> Thanks linuxfp
[08:12] <Aple> I know I'm a tard who should learn regex and commandline expressions, but have a lot on my plate right now
[08:12] <_fury> Hi, how can i shut down the displaymanager? I switched with alt f1, and used sudo gdm stop. But it says failed to aquire ...
[08:13] <rww> _fury: the command is sudo service gdm stop
[08:13] <linuxfp> ^ Always had that problem too....
[08:13] <linuxfp> Ah goodie
[08:13] <_fury> rww thanks a lot!!!
[08:13] <linuxfp> Anyhow... back to my problem
[08:13] <linuxfp> Still not booting
[08:13] <whoppergator> Aple: I don't hold time constraints against you at all. I'm glad you have your answer.
[08:14] <Aple> Thanks
[08:14] <Aple> Out of curiosity, how would I use a regex in locate?
[08:14] <Aple> Wrap it in parens?
[08:14] <linuxfp> Still getting the blinking underscore
[08:14] <linuxfp> TTY is still functional
[08:15] <devish> whoppergator, no i didn't find the preference option
[08:15] <linuxfp> Failed to initialize NVIDIA graphics device....
[08:15] <linuxfp> Dammit
[08:16] <whoppergator> Aple: single quotes, and you can get pure regex by passing the --regex option
[08:16] <linuxfp> C'mon guys help me...
[08:16] <Aple> whoppergator: Thanks
[08:17] <Aple> 1 more question that's bugging me then I'll leave you fine folks alone... What's the keyboard shortcut to shortcuts on my panel (in Natty) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1428870

[08:21] <Aple> urlin2u: I'm using Natty Narwhal so the launcher trick isn't working
[08:21] <rww> and if you're really lucky, tasksel then eats your cat
[08:21] <gh0stpirate> o Auth appears to be quite the ^&*( for people that did this previously
[08:22] <glebihan> Double_Rainbow, "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^"
[08:22] <linuxfp> Well well is it my turn yet :|

[08:25] <whoppergator> linuxfp: to save time, can you create a summary of your issue at paste.ubuntu.com and put a link to it? i don't want to waste space catching up
[08:25] <linuxfp> Somebody was helping me already, dunno what happened... Gimme a minute
[08:27] <linuxfp> Well great, can't wget the drivers either
[08:29] <dude> i hope someone adds rtorrent to wget
[08:29] <dude> so you can download torrents with it
[08:29] <gh0stpirate> Hello, im looking for some software that will interperet commands read from a twitter account that my linux box could monitor, Example:::     i tweet "abc123"   my linux box runs a certaint bash script. ideas?
[08:29] <urlin2u> linuxfp, rotate your right hand on your stomach counter clockwise, with the left hand tap the top of your head click your heels and recite there's no place like gnome.
[08:30] <carrera> Greetings!
[08:30] <gh0stpirate> O Auth is apparently quite difficult to deal with
[08:30] <linuxfp> urlin2u: What
[08:31] <urlin2u> linuxfp, ;-) yeah
[08:31] <linuxfp> Didn't work lmao
[08:31] <whoppergator> dude: is there a question in there? like how to torrent from the command line?
[08:32] <linuxfp> Ah, got the NVIDIA installer to work
[08:32] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: what would you use this for?
[08:32] <rww> dude: why wouldn't you just use rtorrent for that :P
[08:33] <linuxfp> OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

[08:37] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: i'm assuming that you don't have a data plan... :P    have you considered just writing a bash script and setting up a cron job to check twitter every so often? that's old school too :)

[08:38] <Guest26485> i encountered some problems when using chroot
[08:39] <carrera> Greetings!
[08:40] <whoppergator> Guest26485: what problem are you encountering exactly?
[08:40] <whoppergator> carrera: hello.
[08:40] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: ive considered that, that would be fine however, id need an example of something that "complex" (never parsed anything before) but i though twitter added something called "O Auth" that made this impossible, a perfect example is something called "twitaction" if you google that you will see what im getting at, it was previously built in java i believe
[08:40] <Guest26485> me?
[08:42] <gh0stpirate> thought*
[08:42] <Guest26485> i am learning lfs , but i can't change the root dir to where i want
[08:42] <andrzej> andrew
[08:42] <andrzej> siema
[08:42] <glebihan> Guest26485, what error are you getting ?
[08:43] <Guest26485> the sys say " there is no such file /bin/bash"
[08:43] <whoppergator> Guest26485: this isn't the place for lfs, but you should actually ask a question
[08:44] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: did you get the chance to see what i meant?
[08:44] <Guest26485> i know , but this make me headach
[08:44] <whoppergator> Guest26485: that means that it can't find /bin/bash in your new root directory. have you mounted it if it is on a different drive?
[08:44] <Guest26485> could you tell me how to use
[08:44] <Guest26485> 'chroot'
[08:44] <Guest26485> yeah
[08:45] <Guest26485> oh , do you know the LFS
[08:46] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: i'm looking into it. :) give me a sec
[08:47] <Guest26485> ok , that is what am thinking , i want to build my own linux os according to LFS book , there is one step is separate the partion sda3 , so using chroot can achive this.
[08:47] <Guest26485> but it did not work
[08:47] <Guest26485> and i can not make any progress.
[08:48] <Guest26485> whoppergator: are you still in?
[08:48] <Guest26485> hi ,everybody , there is a challenge?
[08:49] <ranjan>  hi all, i have a HP dv4 with a synaptic touchpad. But its not at all responding and in the dmesg i am getting this error "psmouse.c: bad data from KBC - timeout"
[08:49] <Guest26485> whoppergator ; ok
[08:51] <whoppergator> Guest26485: so do you have your basic system set up already and you are just at the point of chrooting into your new system environment?
[08:51] <linuxfp> Will 10.04 have better support for my computer or no
[08:52] <dr0id> hey, is there some plugin for gedit or something that would allow me to upload the file I am working on via ftp to the server ?
[08:52] <dr0id> linuxfp: 10.04 is so old, use 11.10!
[08:52] <dr0id> 11.04*
[08:52] <linuxfp> dr0id: I'm desperate here, I can't get 11.04 to work on my main computer, though it used to for some reason
[08:53] <Guest26485> uh, my basic sys is ubuntu 11.04 , and my new sys is on building , and the new sys in a partion in old one
[08:53] <linuxfp> That or my CD was broken or something
[08:53] <MagicJ> installed 10.4 on a new netbook - it sees the internal audio - it even works - I am not seeing either the microphone jack nor the internal mic as options for inout - what do I need to all?
[08:54] <whoppergator> Guest26485: so you should double check that bash is installed in /bin/bash in your new system partition, since that is the error you are getting from chroot
[08:54] <linuxfp> Powershell will never be as awesome as bash
[08:55] <char> where are folks discussing how to gt firefox and java working?
[08:55] <dr0id> is bash the most awesome shell ? :P
[08:55] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: OAuth seems pretty heavy for what you need. do you need to give your server permissions to your account? or are you just looking to load your posts?
[08:56] <Guest26485> whoppergator:yeah , i think so , but the new one is on building , there are some steps to build a bash for new one! the guide let me use the command-chroot ,but it did not work?
[08:57] <Guest26485> whoppergator : and using this chroot , i can work in the dir -/mnt/lfs(my workplace where i build sys) , separate from the old sys
[08:57] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: simply looking to get it to read them, nothing more, there are existing twitter commandline clients if for any reason i wanted the other direction, but alas, nope. really simple in ANY way. i tweet "abc123" from whatever device, and my server executes "XYZbashscript" could this be done through EXTREME parsing or something?
[08:58] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: (so loading posts i guess lol)
[08:59] <Guest26485> whoppergtor:  neither
[08:59] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: yes, extreme parsing. i have used some decent php parsers for twitter tho! you can run these php scripts from the command line if you have php installed. i think that is how i would do it
[09:01] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: lol this is gunna be fun.... i guess welcome to my crash course in parsing, rocket science edition xD seems like it would be like parsing cnn.com or something lol. welcome to hell!!! thanks a billion man.
[09:02] <Guest26485> whoppergator: i am gona to go , have dinner! thanks anyway
[09:02] <Guest26485> exit
[09:02] <qdb> can you say to ubuntu com designers? i wish they write more comprehensive information about dvd. now only about languages is written. but it has packages and alternate installer, as i know
[09:02] <qdb> hello
[09:03] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: try looking into rss parsing too, there used to still be a way to get at the rss feed for a twitter account. let me know if i can help!
[09:03] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: i'll experiment with that now...
[09:04] <whoppergator> Guest53825: gl, have a good dinner! try people in the gentoo channels for help next. :P
[09:04] <whoppergator> Guest26485: gl, have a good dinner! try people in the gentoo channels for help next. :P  wrong recipient :(
[09:04] <dnivra> hello. I have a socks proxy running on localhost. how do I specify it to a terminal? I know that http proxies can specified by setting the env variable HTTP_PROXY. is there something similar for socks proxy?
[09:04] <qdb> can you say to ubuntu com designers? i wish they write more comprehensive information about dvd. now only about languages is written. but it has packages and alternate installer, as i know. do you think this is enough serious to report on launchpad?
[09:06] <char> anyone talking aoubt java flash and browsers?
[09:06] <whoppergator> dnivra: what are you trying to do?
[09:06] <whoppergator> char: do you have a question?
[09:07] <Myrtti> qdb: well it would suit launchpad better than this channel, that's for sure. Where in launchpad, I don't know, though.
[09:07] <qdb> Myrtti, thank you
[09:07] <dnivra> whoppergator: I'm on a network that filters traffic with destination ports other than 80. I need to connect to a different port of a machine outside the network. I have done it with applications using a socks proxy but how do I let a terminal know that such a proxy is running? most applications have a settings window where I can specify these details.
[09:09] <Taos> Does it make sence to have root, home, boot on sepearate partitions?
[09:09] <whoppergator> Taos: Yes!
[09:09] <Taos> whoppergator: which of those are logical?
[09:10] <MagicJ>   my netbook finds the internal audio - it does not see the internal mic or even the port to hang one on - what am I missing?
[09:12] <whoppergator> Taos: all of them? root is obviously on a partition. next, home could be on a separate partition so keep your data separate from your system and applications (you could also use a different filesystem here for performance). finally, boot should be separate for security; you don't even have to mount it unless you are updating your kernel
[09:14] <whoppergator> dnivra: i guess i'm confused what you are trying to do? why does the terminal need to know that a proxy is running?
[09:15] <dnivra> whoppergator: I'm trying to connect to port 2224 of a website. Normally the terminal sends it to the gateway machine of the network which filters the packets out since it's not bound to port 80.
[09:16] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: making some progress, incredably hard, turns out twitter started REMOVING rss. so even generating a feed of that was a task, thats done so far.
[09:16] <MagicJ> +
[09:16] <dnivra> whoppergator: i set up a socks proxy on my machine which forwards packets to a server which can connect to non-80 ports. but terminal doesn't know the proxy isn't running and so need to tell it about the proxy's existence.
[09:16] <whoppergator> dnivra: what are you using to connect? wget? a web browser?
[09:17] <dnivra> whoppergator: I'm trying to connect to port 2224 of a server.
[09:17] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: you should check if this code is still working: http://www.renownedmedia.com/codevault/php-code/php-codeigniter-twitter-reader-class/
[09:17] <dnivra> whoppergator: ssh to that port actually.
[09:19] <whoppergator> dnivra: oO, thank you. so you are using SSH. that's what needs to know about the proxy. try: http://blog.gidley.co.uk/2009/03/tunnelling-ssh-over-socks-proxy.html
[09:19] <dnivra> whoppergator: ah okay that's what you wanted to know. sorry I didn't mention that :)
[09:20] <whoppergator> dnivra: np. let me know if it works out.
[09:21] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: it would take some serious adaptation as twitter is no longer providing RSS,
[09:21] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> I would like to find out the total size of a large number of folders,but not every folder, on a network drive that is shared with py neighborhood - it there a command for that?
[09:21] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: but i have a plan ;)
[09:22] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: did you check out my link? i don't think it is using RSS
[09:22] <dnivra> whoppergator: is there some other way to specify this besides editing the ssh config fiel?
[09:22] <dnivra> s/fiel/file
[09:23] <linuxfp> Ugh this is the third time I tried reinstalling Ubuntu
[09:23] <linuxfp> Same problem
[09:23] <dnivra> whoppergator: I keep switching networks and so editing the file can be a bit painful :).
[09:24] <Mkaysi> gh0stpirate: Twitter provides RSS feeds.
[09:25] <whoppergator> Mkaysi: i think his point is that they are phasing them out
[09:25] <Mkaysi> gh0stpirate: https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=<username>
[09:25] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> I would like to find out the total size of a large number of folders,but not every folder, on a network drive that is shared with py neighborhood - it there a command for that?
[09:26] <linuxfp> Is it normal to hear short buzzing noises coming from your computer?
[09:26] <linuxfp> Like, for a half a second
[09:26] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: this may work as well? ftp://ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue191/10695l1.txt
[09:27] <whoppergator> I_AM_IN_ROOT: check out 'du' in the man pages, esp the summary and human readable options.
[09:27] <gh0stpirate> Mkaysi: got it now, thank you!!
[09:27] <linuxfp> Ugh, I had more help from waiting 2 hours on a shitty unpopulated forum, bye.
[09:28] <whoppergator> dnivra: so let me understand what is going on better. there is some reason you can't directly ssh to a server? how does the local proxy help you?
[09:29] <Waldir> Hi everyone. I have ubuntu installed on a netbook through Wubi, but recently after I had to perform a forced shutdown, it stopped working
[09:30] <whoppergator> !attitude | linuxfp
[09:30] <abhishek> hey
[09:30] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> whoppergator, I was afraid that would be the only suggestion - I feel confident when I say that this command line entry,using du, is going to blow because of how long it will take me to enter it
[09:30] <Waldir> when it boots it says "mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory"
[09:30] <markke> Hello, anybody here is successfully running  this graphics card - ATI Technologies Inc NI Seymour [AMD Radeon HD 6470M]  - using either Catalyst or open-source FGLRX drivers. :)
[09:31] <abhishek> i m new help me install flash player on my ubuntu machine!!
[09:31] <Waldir> and the same error for /sys and /proc
[09:31] <Waldir> any ideas if this is recoverable?
[09:31] <dnivra> whoppergator: basically the link's step 1 is equivalent to "ssh -D <port> <server>". so there should be an equivalent for step 2 too right? it'd be better if I could know that step since I keep switching regularly between firewalled and non-firewalled networks :)
[09:31] <whoppergator> I_AM_IN_ROOT: so pass in a list of the files... there is no rule that you have to put it all in one gigantor line!
[09:32] <szal> markke: there's no such thing as "open-source FGLRX drivers" ;)
[09:32] <lotuspsychje> abhishek: open ubuntu software centre and install flash
[09:32] <szal> markke: the open-source driver is called 'radeon'
[09:32] <markke> szal: ok my bad, i was referring to the one here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[09:33] <markke> szal: Catalyt 11.8 is being a b***tch and it won't start. :(
[09:33] <whoppergator> dnivra: can you explain your situation again/in greater detail. i think we can get you going, i just don't think i understand
[09:33] <szal> markke: is that card in its compatibility list?
[09:33] <EskimoBob> hi, how can I find out what version of nvidia drivers I have installed. 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 is a useless number. I need the nvidia version 11.6 or what ever it is
[09:34] <szal> EskimoBob: there is no such nVidia version as you're looking for
[09:34] <Waldir> could anyone please help me? I can't understand this boot error :(
[09:34] <szal> EskimoBob: that's pretty obviously the v270 driver
[09:34] <EskimoBob> OK, thanx
[09:34] <markke> SEYMOUR isnowhere in the list, but I was hoping the open-source drivers still work for it and the page wasn't updated :D
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> Waldir: hold shift button at boot and try recovery boot
[09:35] <diegoviola> when is ubuntu shipping with Wayland please?
[09:35] <bunty> hi all.
[09:35] <diegoviola> instead of X
[09:35] <Waldir> lotuspsychje: it does reach the grub menu and I've tried every entry available
[09:35] <EskimoBob> my bad, I was looking for ATI driver version :)
[09:35] <szal> diegoviola: not in the near future, afaik
[09:35] <bunty> I just turned on my system and I get this http://pastebin.com/NbE0aLMD
[09:36] <Waldir> lotuspsychje: it gives the same error everytime, that it can't find /root/dev, /root/sys, /root/proc and /sbin/init
[09:36] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> whoppergator, well it is 31 file folders containing only video files and spread out with many folders in between . . . it is late and I am tired so I may just do it tomorrow on my roommates computer since it is the host of the drive and windows makes this operation wonderfully easy
[09:36] <bunty> my /boot is on /dev/sda1 and / on /dev/sd2 . I have already tried doing fsck on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 but that didn't help.  Any ideas what my next step is ?
[09:36] <whoppergator> Waldir: can you mount the disk file from a linux live cd? at least then you could try and recover your data prior to reinstall
[09:36] <EskimoBob> szal: my bad, I was looking for ATI driver version actually :)
[09:37] <Waldir> whoppergator: what I need is about 2 dozen google chrome tabs I had open :( do you think that's written to the disk somewhere?
[09:37] <dud> does dpkg-reconfigure-mdadm delete my raid arrays?
[09:37] <whoppergator> I_AM_IN_ROOT: i would argue that in linux it is also easy, but perhaps it would be more time consuming for you to learn how if you are tired. as always, computers are there as a tool. if you know how to do it some other way, don't waste your time
[09:38] <whoppergator> Waldir: :( most likely, but it is probably going to be very hard to recover and then insert into a new install
[09:39] <Waldir> whoppergator: I don't mind, I really need that list of sites, cause I can't get to all of them from memory
[09:39] <bunty> anyone?
[09:39] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> god I hate linux, goodnight whoppergator and thanks
[09:40] <Waldir> I am trying to figure out where chrome stores session data... any ideas on how I could find that?
[09:40] <whoppergator> Waldir: maybe if you were able to recover the entire cache dir and copy it into exactly the same place in a new install? this is why i use a real partition as opposed to wubi
[09:40] <EskimoBob> in my gentoo box I have a x11-drivers/ati-drivers - how can I find a similar pkg in ubuntu?  - sudo apt-cache search ati | grep driver | grep ATI - looks like is nit the way to find it
[09:40] <Waldir> whoppergator: this is a netbook, I was only using it for serious work because iI was travelling :/
[09:41] <Waldir> whoppergator: I'll try to find that
[09:41] <szal> EskimoBob: the proprietary driver is called 'fglrx'
[09:41] <szal> !info fglrx
[09:42] <dr0id> hey, is there some plugin for gedit or something that would allow me to upload the file I am working on via ftp to the server ?
[09:42] <whoppergator> Waldir: yup. i completely sympathize. let me know if you need more. i don't know how the wubi disk file works in windows, but i imagine some sort of loop mounting would be the place to start
[09:42] <Waldir> whoppergator: loop mounting?
[09:43] <whoppergator> Waldir: that's how you mount a file like it is a disk partition
[09:43] <Waldir> oh right, it's not a partition... I am trying to boot from a live usb but now I'm unsure I'll be able to mount wubi's "partition" :/
[09:43] <Waldir> ah
[09:43] <markke> szal: what is the difference with the driver I DLed from ATI site and the ones that jockey pulls from the repo? Are they the same but packaged specifically for the Ubuntu version?
[09:44] <EskimoBob> szal: you ububntu people have ruin everything and rename stuff :) thanx for the help
[09:44] <whoppergator> Waldir: my thoughts: mount windows drive, find disk file, loop mount, hunt for chrome cache location on google, copy to safe place, reinstall
[09:44] <Waldir> hmm... anyone know if [Removable Dev.] in the boot device priority list of the boot setup stands for usb? cause I can't seem to book from my live usb
[09:45] <szal> markke: I have no friggin' idea about ATI other than that it exists ;)
[09:45] <Waldir> whoppergator: I recall I once used a program that was able to mount ext2 partitions in windows. not sure if they updated it to ext3
[09:46] <fdsfdg> how to setup hostname / dns prefix in ubuntu?
[09:46] <whoppergator> Waldir: ext3 and 4 are backwards compatible
[09:47] <Waldir> cool, I'll try to find that
[09:47] <whoppergator> Waldir: however, windows cannot loop mount that i am aware
[09:47] <markke> szal: ayt, I thought at least you might have some idea. :P
[09:47] <Waldir> maybe if I copy the wubi directory to my linux machine?
[09:48] <REK_007> any download managers for ubuntu ?
[09:48] <whoppergator> Waldir: ya, or you can use a live cd, copying would take a while
  aria2c from USC
[09:48] <REK_007> gulzar:  thank you am looking into it
[09:48] <REK_007> :)
[09:49] <Waldir> whoppergator: I am trying with a live usb cause the netbook doesn't take cds :/
[09:49] <Waldir> I managed to make it boot from usb but it's just saying "Boot error". I'll try to recreate the live usb
[09:49] <whoppergator> Waldir: :P that will work too...
[09:51] <whoppergator> bunty: did you ever get some help?
[09:53] <raven> grsync: trying to do this after rsync process touch ~/04-1,5-`date --rfc-3339=date` - it works on terminal but not out of rsync - any ideas?
[09:54] <thesuperlogical> anyone does know the best way to restore iptables configuration on boot? on a vps?
[09:55] <szal> !ics
[09:56] <fdsfdg> how to setup hostname / dns prefix in ubuntu?
[09:57] <whoppergator> fdsfdg: does it not just use your system hostname?
[09:57] <szal> thesuperlogical: save iptables config to a file and read it in on boot via rc.local; see the above webpage for details, directly above "Enable routing"
[09:58] <szal> thesuperlogical: to give you an idea, that is
[10:00] <fdsfdg> because  it's lame? to the topic, please
[10:00] <thesuperlogical> szal: thx - that /etc/network/interfaces thing does not work for me.... i'll go with that rc.local way
[10:01] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: AH HA lol, been forever, but figured out the most BONEHEAD answer to this whole parsing twitter thing to make it easy. so easy that im actually really disappointed with myself lmao
[10:01] <raven> grsync: trying to do this after rsync process touch ~/04-1,5-`date --rfc-3339=date` - it works on terminal but not out of rsync - any ideas?
[10:02] <fdsfdg> because of ~/?
[10:03] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: as long as i have predetermind input, example: (to run scripts) i always put the command between >>>>COMMAND<<<< it becomes an easy to find parsing job from the auto generated XML file. WIN. realtime, easy,efficient,no logons required!!
[10:04] <raven> fdsfdg, no the error is "unrecognized option --rfc-3339=date`
[10:04] <llutz> raven: don't use backquotes, use $(/bin/date --rfc-3339=date)
[10:05] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: sounds functional to me. :)
[10:05] <sharperguy> Hi. Is there a way I can hear the mic input on the speakers in real time with pulseaudio? I've been poking around with gnome volume control and pavucontrol but there doesn't seem to be an option.
[10:05] <fdsfdg> how to setup hostname / dns prefix in ubuntu?
[10:06] <llutz> !hostname | fdsfdg
[10:06] <raven> llutz, everything works but only running from rsync makes date forget about this rfc option!
[10:06] <llutz> raven: call date with full path and test again
[10:07] <fdsfdg> lol no gui? and what about dns?
[10:07] <raven> llutz, i did
[10:07] <yourstruly> yes
[10:07] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: now o teach myself basic parsing lol. (any commandline examples to store txt between (((command))) as a variable?)
[10:08] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: in what language :P
[10:08] <thesuperlogical> szal: It is working :) thx for the hint
[10:08] <Greyshadow1> Hi, I would like to know how can I install Windows 7, Windows XP and a Linux distro in the same computer.
[10:08] <Greyshadow1> I would like something like a grub that could direct to each one.
[10:08] <Greyshadow1> I can't do that, I tried.
[10:08] <fdsfdg> why my hostname is 127.0.1.1 and not 127.0.0.1?
[10:09] <robin0800> sharperguy, try alsamixer in a terminal
[10:10] <thesuperlogical> Greyshadow1: First setup windows, then boot from an ubuntu cd / usb drive.... the setup will give you the options to setup ubuntu aside windows with dual boot
[10:10] <whoppergator> fdsfdg: check out /etc/hosts
[10:10] <sharperguy> robin0800, I don't really see anything helpful in there
[10:11] <robin0800> Greyshadow1, xp first 7 second and linux last
[10:11] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: something usuable in a bash script like sed or awk etc, whatever you think
[10:11] <whoppergator> sharperguy: isn't there a monitor option in the pulseaudio settings somewhere?
[10:11] <sharperguy> whoppergator, not that I've seen
[10:12] <fdsfdg> why Linux For Human Beings requires me to edit funny text files for such trivial operations?
[10:13] <artur__> a
[10:13] <phoque_uni> fdsfdg, why would you need a GUI for such a trivial operation?
[10:14] <whoppergator> sharperguy: sorry, i'm thinking of my gentoo box, which does have the option. i'll look around
[10:15] <Aple> Where's a good place to put program files in Ubuntu?
[10:15] <Phylock> is there an application with all the controls components, so I can see and test with the different themes?
[10:15] <phoque_uni> /opt/applicationname
[10:15] <OerHeks> Aple, if you are asked, i would choose /opt/
[10:16] <cyrax> Aple, i thinks /opt/
[10:16] <cyrax> *think
[10:16] <Aple> Thanks guys
[10:16] <Aple> Why opt out of curiosity
[10:16] <sharperguy> whoppergator, ok I ran "pactl load-module module-loopback" and that seemed to do it, although theres quite a high latency. Not a problem for me at the moment though.
[10:17] <Phylock> Aple - take a look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-or-ubuntu-directory-structure.html
[10:17] <OerHeks> Aple it is designed for that, like /tmp/ is for temporary files
[10:17] <whoppergator> sharperguy: pavucontrol has it also, just found it
[10:18] <sharperguy> whoppergator, could you tell me where?
[10:18] <shazzr> Just got a Samsung Galaxy S II. Connected it to my Ubuntu 10.04 computer, and Banshee fired up. It displayed in Banshee as devices the first time, but not the second time. Banshee fires up when I connect it, but it isn't displayd. I assume it is an issue with Ubuntu, since it worked the first time...
[10:18] <orated> I keep getting this error on cli during every install -debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline . What is the error about? How do I fix it?
[10:18] <cyrax> Someone knows a software like Itunes under Ubuntu?
[10:19] <whoppergator> sharperguy: so install/run pavucontrol, then under input, go to the bottom selection menu and choose show all. you can then unmute the monitor
[10:20] <sharperguy> whoppergator, I see "Monitor of internal analog stereo" and "Internal analog stereo". Is it one of those?
[10:20] <skim1776> how to use bumblebee?
[10:20] <sharperguy> whoppergator, they were both unmuted already
[10:21] <Phylock> cyrax - there is a lot of music applications with basicaly the same functionallity, for example try rhythmbox, banshee or songbird
[10:21] <shazzr> oh...and it's 11.04.
[10:21] <cyrax> thank u very much Phylock
[10:21] <shazzr> Phylock: is Songbird still supported on linux?
[10:21] <skim1776> does anyone use bumblebee for juggling videocards?
[10:22] <sharperguy> whoppergator, not sure what I did but now theres about a 3 second delay :/
[10:22] <Phylock> shazzr - not sure havent updatet it for a while
[10:23] <Greyshadow1> Anyone can help me?
[10:23] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: any tuts or examples available yet? (sorry i know your slammed, this will just get me moving though ;))
[10:23] <whoppergator> sharperguy: crazy. that's worked for me in the past on other distributions, but it isn't working for me here either
[10:23] <skim1776> Greyshadow1, what's your problem?
[10:24] <Greyshadow1> I need have installed Windows XP, 7 and Ubuntu in the same computer.
[10:24] <Greyshadow1> And I want just one grub.
[10:24] <Greyshadow1> Not 2!
[10:24] <skim1776> why not virtual machine?
[10:25] <shazzr> Phylock: http://getsongbird.com/system-requirements.php
[10:25] <skim1776> does anybody have two graphic cards with ubuntu?
[10:25] <REK_007> any good GUI For ARIA2 which will help queing up downloads
[10:25] <Greyshadow1> skim1776: virtual machine for what?
[10:26] <OerHeks> Greyshadow1, install xp, then windows 7 ( i don't know if this is possible at all ) then installubuntu, this will install grub2 wich connects the 2 previous ones.
[10:26] <shazzr> Phylock: I think this is the "linux"-version - http://getnightingale.com/
[10:26] <Greyshadow1> OerHeks: but it redirects me to the Windows' "grub"
[10:26] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: i think for what you want to do you should just use 'grep' with the -o switch which only will return the matching result
[10:26] <Greyshadow1> not to each one windows directly
[10:27] <Greyshadow1> that is my problem
[10:27] <shazzr> Does anyone have a Samsung Galaxy S II which they sync podcasts with on Ubuntu? Mine doesn't show up as device in Banshee (except for the first time).
[10:27] <hoffel> hi @ all
[10:27] <Phylock> shazzr - your right songbird for linux is no longer part of the official songbird releases
[10:27] <hoffel> i've got a question
[10:28] <fdsfdg> Greyshadow1: windows needs windows loader to boot
[10:28] <hoffel> how can i install a package without installing all the dependencies?
[10:28] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: i'll research moar, but if it were (((command))) wouldn't grep also grab my "tags" ie// ((())) how would i exclude them?
[10:28] <phoque_uni> hoffel, what would it be good for?
[10:29] <hoffel> i only want to install a gtk theme but the package inclodes also themes for metacity so it trys to install the whole gnome-desktop just beacause of the gtk-theme i want
[10:29] <Greyshadow1> fdsfdg: so
[10:29] <Taos> Which one of these is logical [swap, boot, root, home]
[10:29] <Greyshadow1> Can I boot Ubuntu throug Windows boot?
[10:29] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: i'm lazy, so i would just pass it to sed or cut
[10:29] <Greyshadow1> fdsfdg: ^
[10:30] <fdsfdg> Greyshadow1: possibly with grub1, grub2 is too bloated to do it
[10:30] <hoffel> so is there a possibility to install a package without its depencies?
[10:30] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: Thanks for your help my friend, you gave me home automation using xml,grep and sed! ahaha sweet lol, have a good one man
[10:31] <waldir> whoppergator: my laptop froze, had to restart. I am finishing the live usb now and have already collected instructions on how to mount the wubi disk :)
[10:31] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: you too
[10:32] <Greyshadow1> fdsfdg: any how to for do that?
[10:32] <whoppergator> waldir: excellent, i'm glad you are getting closer
[10:34] <fdsfdg> Greyshadow1:  you copy  grub bootsector to file and add it to windows bootloDER list
[10:36] <whoppergator> hoffel: you should download the package individually, then try using dpkg with the --ignore-depends to get what you want
[10:37] <RajDev_King> Hi, Friends,,,Actually my ubuntu is so slow so how I can make it speedy...:)???
[10:39] <Phylock> RajDev_King - which version?
[10:40] <RajDev_King> Its 11.04
[10:40] <whoppergator> Greyshadow1: you can control the windows boot loader with easybcd, including reinstall if you overwrote with grub.
[10:42] <whoppergator> RajDev_King: what is slow? that question is too broad. speed can often be had at the expense of kernel flexibility, filesystem checks and squashed dirs.
[10:43] <mintie> I have the appropriate driver installed for my wireless WLAN card, but when I go to connect, it says "device not ready". What do I do?
[10:43] <RajDev_King> Actually, y'know wat..I am not exper in using ubuntu,,,and according to me my os is very slow,,,it hangs often..
[10:45] <whoppergator> RajDev_King: what are the system specifications of what you are running it on?
[10:47] <whoppergator> mintie: if you are sure that you have the correct driver, try checking for updates and rebooting?
[10:47] <waldir> whoppergator: ok I have the wubi disk mounted now, but when I navigate to ~/.config, the google-chrome directory (among others) shows up with an "x" overlay and its properties window says "Contents: unreadable". any idea how to overcome this?
[10:47] <mintie> whoppergator, yes. I contacted Realtek directly, and they guided me through the installation. It worked initially, and now for some reason it won't work, and this happened post-updating. Perhaps the update ruined it?
[10:48] <Phylock> RajDev_King - do you have an Nvidia card or a laser usb mouse?
[10:49] <RajDev_King> I'm having a laser usb mouse...
[10:50] <shazzr> Weird. Deleted the Banshee folder in ~/.config/ and now my Galaxy appeared as it should. Most likely a Banshee issue. Does anyone know?
[10:51] <whoppergator> mintie: it's very possible, and you might consider reverting, but also remember that some wireless cards have trouble coming out of sleep and others must have their physical switch turned on at boot.
[10:52] <mintie> whoppergator, mine isn't a physical switch one. I will run another update and give that a go, but how do I go about reverting if I need be?
[10:52] <mintie> if that need be*
[10:52] <whoppergator> waldir: try mounting it read-only. if that doesn't work, you should run a filesystem check and tell it to try and fix any errors.
[10:52] <waldir> whoppergator: nevermind, I copied it elsewhere and "chowned" it, it worked :)
[10:52] <Phylock> RajDev_King - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/764330 comment #56 has a possible fix
[10:53] <RajDev_King> Phylock: thankxx for suppor,,dude..:)
[10:53] <whoppergator> waldir: :)
[10:54] <Phylock> RajDev_King - but remember to read and verify that the symtoms is the same
[10:54] <jasonmsp> hey all.  Silly question, but how do I make a screenshot in 11.04?  Google search was pretty disappointing.
[10:55] <solid_liq> jasonmsp, print screen ;)
[10:55] <salvatore> good morning everybody
[10:55] <salvatore> anybody can help me
[10:55] <salvatore> with lamp config?
[10:55] <whoppergator> Phylock: if you are right about RajDev_King then you made a great diagnosis with very little info. good going!
[10:56] <jasonmsp> solid_liq:  thanks.  Normally that is ctrl + the key but its not working.
[10:56] <solid_liq> jasonmsp, that's for capturing just the window
[10:57] <technikfreak> hello, a friend of mine had an ubuntu pc and would have access to it ia a webbowser from his work
[10:57] <jasonmsp> solid_liq:  Sans the ctrl key and it works..  Thanks!
[10:57] <technikfreak> like a vpn over webborswer
[10:57] <solid_liq> jasonmsp, np
[10:57] <whoppergator> !lamp | salvatore
[10:58] <technikfreak> is there a solution that covers that?
[10:58] <salvatore> thank you
[10:59] <salvatore> actually i am trying to mkove my database folder of mysql on dropbox, to be sync on other device too
[10:59] <salvatore> but i got problem with phpmyadmin
[10:59] <salvatore> when i try to authenticate
[11:00] <salvatore> i got this message:
[11:00] <xbmcuser> my ubuntu sleeps after 10 mins even though power management is set to off.. Any ideas?
[11:00] <salvatore> The requested URL /phpmyadmin/index.php was not found on this server.
[11:00] <salvatore> any help?
[11:02] <whoppergator> salvatore: sounds to me the webserver cannot see the phpmyadmin files. you should both check the permissions of your web directory to make sure that apache can read there, and make sure that the files are in the correct location
[11:02] <Phylock> salvatore - check the location of phpmyadmin files on the server, do the webserver have access to the files?
[11:03] <salvatore> let me check
[11:04] <whoppergator> mintie: the process to revert depends on exactly what you are using now, and what you where using before. i didn't catch if you mentioned that info earlier. let me know if it's neccessary.
[11:04] <d3vic3> is removing upstart safe in ubuntu?
[11:04] <salvatore> Phylock
[11:05] <bigtail> ..
[11:05] <Phylock> salvatore
[11:05] <salvatore> when you intend my www directory
[11:05] <salvatore> when say webserver?
[11:06] <o0splitpaw0o> when you say WWHAT!
[11:06] <whoppergator> technikfreak: OpenVPN uses the same security protocol as secure websites, and can operate over a single port. Did you have something more specific in mind? What is your friend's use case?
[11:07] <salvatore> i moved my www folder and mysql folder on dropbox
[11:07] <salvatore> modyfied my.cnf
[11:07] <skim1776> which vim plugins do you use for rails development?
[11:07] <technikfreak> yeah he does only have access to the internet with a webbrowser
[11:07] <technikfreak> he is an electri cguy in an hospital
[11:07] <whoppergator> d3vic3: how would you even do this? i would not consider that safe.
[11:08] <salvatore> and settings on apache2 configuration
[11:08] <technikfreak> so hw would go than over the webbrowser to maybe a dyndns adress to its home pc
[11:08] <salvatore> in my dropbox i got then
[11:08] <xbmcuser> no takers on power management issue. All settings to never, yet ten mins idle and the display sleeps
[11:08] <technikfreak> without any software installation on the pc that he had at work
[11:08] <skim1776> does anyone use vim for rails development?
[11:09] <salvatore> one datafolder with databases
[11:09] <salvatore> and one www folder
[11:09] <salvatore> with all project
[11:09] <whoppergator> technikfreak: does he want to browse the internet as if he was a home (socks)? or does he want to get access to a terminal at home (ssh)? or does he need files from his home computer (scp)?
[11:09] <whoppergator> !return | salvatore
[11:10] <waldir> whoppergator: yaaaaaaaaay I got my tabs back :D :D :D :D :D :D
[11:10] <technikfreak> he want to have acesss to its home pc like remote desktop or vnc
[11:10] <technikfreak> but over a website
[11:10] <Phylock> salvatore - try to turn on directory listing, and see which directory is actualy served
[11:10] <d3vic3> whoppergator: i hate that upstart thing but nothing to do with yeah
[11:11] <whoppergator> waldir: w00t!!!
[11:11] <waldir> whoppergator: thanks a bunch for the help! now I'll load all the tabs on firefox which actually syncs open tabs :D
[11:12] <Phylock> [13:05:33] <salvatore> when say webserver? <-- not sure what your quastion is?
[11:12] <salvatore> Sorry. Everything seems to work. If i write the url of a simple html file, stored o my localhost, it works
[11:12] <salvatore> problem is with phpmyadmin
[11:13] <whoppergator> d3vic3: reverting to the older sysinit method would be a huge project, and definitely not "safe" for your data.

[11:14] <fuzzybunny69y> Hey guys!! Has anyone here used Midnight commander before? I am moving files and there is a directory/file that exists already in the location I am trying to move stuff to and it is asking if I want to "overwrite the target" and then my options are: yes, no and append. I am just wondering what the append option does
[11:15] <fuzzybunny69y> if anyone can help I will love you forever
[11:15] <irgendwer4711> hi, I have another problem with Bug #193507 ; this problem occures with BLK_DEV_INITRD enabled too
[11:16] <salvatore> the error message i got is:The requested URL /phpmyadmin/index.php was not found on this server. I checked in that folder and no index.php is located. But i found one in : /usr/share/phpmyadmin. Is that the file i am looking for? i tryed to copy it but cannot
[11:17] <irgendwer4711> salvatore: there must be a symlink
[11:17] <iceroot_> salvatore: /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf there is an alias which needs to be enabled
[11:17] <irgendwer4711> or alias
[11:17] <iceroot_> salvatore: and there needs to be a symlink to that file from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
[11:18] <whoppergator> technikfreak: that is not something i've seen done before, but that doesn't mean it's not possible! a google search yields this apparently. you should check it out: http://www.thinvnc.com/index.html
[11:19] <technikfreak> yeah but it needs wine
[11:19] <haychis> Can anyone help me with my VPN connecting problems? Google has been no help so far ...
[11:20] <technikfreak> so i will search if somehting exist with a ntive linux
[11:20] <technikfreak> haychis, whats the problem
[11:20] <salvatore> i already modified the DocumentRoot in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default ....is there other values to check?
[11:21] <haychis> technikfreak: if I tick 'use this connection only for resources on its network' for a PPTP connection via network-manager, i cannot ping the remote network. If it's unticked, it works as it should, but an using the remote networks internet.
[11:22] <whoppergator> technikfreak: basically then, you should try to embed a normal java vnc viewer in a webpage. then you can even use the built-in vino server
[11:22] <salvatore> iceroot: what to modify in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf?
[11:22] <technikfreak> thatsver y good
[11:23] <axel> Hello! I want to set up a computer with an HDD and a SDD. The root-directory will be on the SDD and /home on the HDD. How to get the config-files to the SSD?
[11:23] <axel> So far the only way I know is to create partitions for each directory that should be put on the SSD and create mountpoints for this directories in /home.
[11:23] <axel> Is there a more elegant way for this (that is also easy to backup/sync?)
[11:23] <whoppergator> haychis: this sounds like a routing issue in the config. also, be aware that splitting your connections like this can open up security vulnerabilities.
[11:24] <iceroot_> salvatore: there is a line with alias in it which should start with #. remove the #
[11:24] <iceroot_> salvatore: and dont change the default DocumentRoot from apache
[11:25] <haychis> whoppergator: not worried about security at this stage, will lock it down later... It used to work fine with openvpn, but the server at work has changed and its now a PPTP server ...
[11:25] <salvatore> what you intend with alias? i changed DocmentRoot because i moved my www folder to dropbox
[11:26] <whoppergator> axel: i'm not sure exactly what you want to happen, but mount default configurations are handled in /etc/fstab. does that help?
[11:27] <z3l> Hello. I have recently installed ubuntu and apache2 webserver with php support. I have created a virtualhost and edited the hosts file, when I accessed the web I got 403 error. I have set the chmod of site directory to a+x and now I can only see blank page. I have created a txt file and I can access it, however when I access php files I just see it blank.
[11:27] <oCean> salvatore: when installing phpmyadmin, it should create a /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf file
[11:27] <z3l> Any suggestions on what can I do to solve this ?
[11:28] <oCean> salvatore: in your apache2.conf should be an include line to include all these files in apache2/conf.d
[11:28] <whoppergator> haychis: are you pinging the network via ip or hostname?
[11:28] <haychis> whoppergator: ip
[11:29] <axel> whoppergator: Thanks for the answer. I'd have edited it to configure the mountpoints. The  issue is: The system  (including the programms) should be stored  on the SSD, the /home-directory on the HDD. So far so easy. It gets complicated when the config-files (.*) from the /home-directory should be stored on the SSD.
[11:29] <salvatore> oCean i havent got /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[11:29] <glebihan> z3l, is mod_php enabled ?
[11:29] <oCean> salvatore: did you install the software from the ubuntu repositories?
[11:30] <z3l> glebihan: Yes, it is. Phpmyadmin works like a charm.
[11:30] <whoppergator> haychis: i'll just run through my checklist then. first, what is the route configuration, and second, do you have these two networks on different addressing schemes
[11:30] <salvatore> i wrote apt-get install phpmyadmin
[11:31] <whoppergator> axel: it sounds to me like you might be talking about merged filesystems, in which case you need to look into aufs
[11:31] <DXBLouie> i've been running Ubuntu Natty (11.04) for a while (upgraded from earlier release) and it has Evolution mail client v2.32.2, while the stable release of evolution is v3.0.2.. any reason why the ubuntu repositories are far behind, or shall i just add the repositories for the latest evolution (if i can find them) and upgrade without any known hassles?
[11:31] <glebihan> z3l, did you try changing the error_reporting configuration directive to get more output (or check the logs) ?
[11:31] <oCean> salvatore: but you do have an /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf ?
[11:31] <whoppergator> axel: haha, actually that's too much, try just using clever symlinking.
[11:32] <salvatore> yes
[11:33] <axel> whoppergator: ln -s ?
[11:33] <haychis> whoppergator: i'll go through the IP4 settings, cause i think thats where the problems lies. work - 192.168.0.*, gateway .1 , this computer 192.168.3.*, gateway .1 , both 255.255.255.0. Method: Automatic (VPN). Routes: NONE. Ignore auto obtained routes unticked. Natty, all latest updates
[11:34] <oCean> salvatore: very strange that the other link was not created. It should have been created at install. You can create it:   sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[11:34] <whoppergator> axel: yeah that should get the job done if you just want a folder or file to point somewhere else.
[11:34] <z3l> glebihan: I dont know where can I check the logs. I have recently decided to move into linux os from windows. I have chosen ubuntu as it is the most user-friendly distro, so I am a very beginner.
[11:34] <haychis> whoppergator: I can connect with win7 no problems and no special routes etc
[11:35] <glebihan> z3l, the log is in /var/log/apache2/error_log
[11:35] <z3l> glebihan: I believe php files are not being processed, because I can just simply write a text and it doesn't output.
[11:35] <whoppergator> haychis: yeah windows has a completely different way of handling default routing
[11:35] <oCean> salvatore: also, when you run this:   grep -i include /etc/apache2/apache2.conf |grep -v ^#     several lines should show, and 1 should be  Include conf.d/
[11:36] <oCean> z3l: but phpmyadmin is working just fine?
[11:37] <salvatore> yes, i seed
[11:37] <z3l> glebihan: Failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line. How can I set right permissions for the whole folder with subfolders and its files.
[11:37] <salvatore> see
[11:37] <oCean> salvatore: have you created the link?
[11:37] <salvatore> yes i didi
[11:37] <axel> whoppergator: 0_0 It's so easy? I'm impressed. Thank you!
[11:37] <oCean> salvatore: I think you have to restart the apache2 server:  sudo service apache2 restart
[11:37] <glebihan> z3l, sudo chmod -R +r /path/to/folder
[11:38] <glebihan> z3l, this will give read access to all users on all the files in the folder
[11:38] <haychis> whoppergate: when i try to set a route im getting this in the log when split tunnelling .. "(ppp0): failed to set IPv4 route: Netlink Error (errno = Invalid argument)"
[11:38] <z3l> glebihan: Thank you, do you know any site where I can find useful commands /
[11:39] <salvatore> done...you think it should work?
[11:39] <whoppergator> haychis: what is your route command?
[11:39] <glebihan> z3l, you mean basic shell commands, that kind of things ?
[11:39] <oCean> z3l: help.ubuntu.com is useful, and this is a nice book to begin with: http://ubuntu-manual.org/  (free download)
[11:40] <oCean> salvatore: test it? And keep an eye on the logs in /var/log/apache2
[11:40] <salvatore> oCean, now i got this message: Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!
[11:41] <glebihan> z3l, also plenty of resources there : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[11:41] <oCean> salvatore: well, something messed up your installation. I'm not sure which configuration file? What is the permissions on /etc/phpmyadmin/apache2.conf? Should be 644
[11:41] <milen8204> hello
[11:41] <haychis> whoppergate: im doing it through the nm gui. \
[11:42] <salvatore> i check but i am givin 777 to all
[11:42] <oCean> salvatore: that is not a clever thing to do
[11:42] <glebihan> salvatore, that's the problem, you should not
[11:42] <z3l> glebihan: Now it outputs the page, however when I require smarty class I still have Permission denied, does it mean I have to set chmods to all directories in my main folder?
[11:43] <oCean> salvatore: that messed up your permissions
[11:43] <haychis> whoppergate: ok I worked it out. IP4 routes 192.168.0.0, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway (of my network) 192.168.3.1, metric 1. and its working with split tunnel. Is this right ?\
[11:43] <glebihan> z3l, you have to give read access to any folder/file the server needs to access to the user apache2
[11:43] <salvatore> i thought that 777 gives all privileges
[11:44] <whoppergator> haychis: hmm, maybe don't pick method automatic, and go straight for PPTP?
[11:44] <glebihan> salvatore, it does, and it's not a good thing for configuratiion files
[11:44] <oCean> salvatore: yes, but several linux programs check that the security/permissions is not set too open.
[11:44] <haychis> whoppergate: it is PPTP via NM. That's what I chose when I set up the connection...
[11:44] <z3l> glebihan: Is there any fast method to set chmods to any folder/file with just one command?
[11:44] <oCean> salvatore: linux has lots of security systems build in. Don't mess with that, such workaround always end in error
[11:45] <domedagen> Anyone in here uses SDL? What IDE are you using? I know for example that NetBeans and Allegro isn't a perfect match
[11:45] <salvatore> is it that the problem then with this issue: Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable?
[11:45] <glebihan> z3l, well you should not do that, only give access to the folders you need the server to access
[11:45] <z3l> glebihan: Ok, thank you.
[11:45] <oCean> salvatore: yes
[11:45] <glebihan> z3l, in a basic configuration, "sudo chmod -R +r /var/www" should be enough
[11:46] <whoppergator> haychis: oh, i just caught your last. is it working now? also, a metric of 1 is really low
[11:46] <salvatore> what permission config i need to give?
[11:46] <haychis> whoppergate: what should I set it too ?
[11:46] <gh0stpirate> can someone look at this really small basic bash script and tell me what im messing up with grep, i just want to find any text contained in "    ((( and )))" and print it to results.txt
[11:46] <glebihan> salvatore, 644
[11:46] <gh0stpirate> http://paste.ubuntu.com/671602/
[11:46] <oCean> salvatore: there are *many* configurationfiles. Some have 644, some have other permissions
[11:47] <haychis> whoppergate: now my local net is not working, though I can ping remote network
[11:48] <love4linux> can someone help me with this configure error that I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/671604/
[11:48] <oCean> gh0stpirate: you have to escape the (  like   grep \(\(\(
[11:49] <whoppergator> haychis: ya according to everything i've read online if the server is properly configured then ubuntu shouldn't need custom routes. have you gone over the server config?
[11:49] <gh0stpirate> oCean: what do you mean "escape"? whats with the backslashes?
[11:50] <oCean> gh0stpirate: the backslashes indeed
[11:50] <salvatore> ok. Actually, as i told, database and www folder are located on a dropbox. I will have to access to those file frome anoter device with wamp serve. Might this 644 permission cause rouble to access from the windows machine?
[11:50] <gh0stpirate> oCean: i'll try that, but why are the needed? (like the theory, i dont understand)
[11:51] <haychis> whoppergate: sorry, working now. had to change gateway to remote network address. pinging remote network and local net working ok. added route 192.168.0.0 mask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.0.1, without the route, split tun does not work.
[11:52] <oCean> gh0stpirate: in your case you want to grep the actual parentheses, if not escaped, they'll be interpreted in a different way
[11:52] <glebihan> love4linux, did you install package libglib2.0-dev
[11:53] <gh0stpirate> oCean: so for my script, it would be:    grep /(/(/(/*/)/)/) Idea_foundry.xml >>results.txt?
[11:54] <haychis> whoppergate: sorry, working now. had to change gateway to remote network address. pinging remote network and local net working ok. added route 192.168.0.0 mask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.0.1, without the route, split tun does not work.
[11:54] <glebihan> gh0stpirate, use backslashes
[11:54] <love4linux> glebihan yes.. both packets that come up when I search with 'libglib2.0-dev' are installed
[11:55] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: wow my connection just dropped, does this help? look at what this does: echo 'testing(((cool)))testing' | grep -o '(((.*)))' | sed 's/(((//' | sed 's/)))//'
[11:55] <love4linux> glebihan i try to locate glib-config but it comes up with nothing
[11:55] <haychis> whoppergate: done tests working ok. thanks for ur help
[11:56] <whoppergator> haychis: sorry i wasn't more helpful. i'm glad you're up
[11:56] <salvatore> ok. Actually, as i told, database and www folder are located on a dropbox. I will have to access to those file frome anoter device with wamp serve. Might this 644 permission cause rouble to access from the windows machine?
[11:56] <glebihan> love4linux, ubottu seems to find it in a package but I doubt it's the right one....
[11:57] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: i dont understand the black magic at work here man, but thats great!!!!!!
[11:57] <mgandtl> hi everyone, but I need some step-by-step instructions for creating a launchpad ppa. Is here where  I go, or does launchpad have a channel?
[11:57] <glebihan> !find glib-config | love4linux
[11:57] <love4linux> glebihan that for audio files?!
[11:58] <glebihan> love4linux, yes...
[11:58] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: to apply that in a file kinda way, it would be grep>sed>results.txt correct?
[11:59] <love4linux> glebihan ok I installed that one as well and rerun ./configure but the same error comes up so its not the proper file
[11:59] <glebihan> love4linux, could you run "glib-config --version", just to check that it's there
[12:00] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: yeah, or maybe: VARIABLE=$(grep -o '(((.*)))' | sed 's/(((//' | sed 's/)))//') in your case
[12:01] <love4linux> glebihan Here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/671609/
[12:01] <pointedarrow> who made the last update for ubuntu_
[12:02] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: sorry yeah that's if you want a $VARIABLE, otherwise you can do that and go to a file
[12:02] <bazhang> pointedarrow, whats the real question
[12:02] <glebihan> love4linux, what version of ubuntu are you running  ?
[12:02] <pointedarrow> it messed up my lubuntu majorly, I cannot boot
[12:02] <love4linux> glebihan latest one, 11.04
[12:03] <pointedarrow> it boots up to a black screen with message; Bash like line editing supported, and someting with grub. press tab for command options
[12:04] <pointedarrow> I have tried to istall grub from rescatux live cd, but no improvement
[12:04] <BobSapp> Anyone know the command to install a xfce4 desktop in ubuntu?
[12:04] <iceroot_> BobSapp: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[12:04] <bazhang> BobSapp, the xubuntu-desktop package
[12:04] <BobSapp> thanks iceroot_ /bazhang
[12:05] <pointedarrow> I have a strong suspicion it is something with gonme and kernel update
[12:05] <BobSapp> did you update to kernel 3.0?
[12:06] <glebihan> love4linux, weird... the glib-config tool used to be in package "libglib1.2-dev", but is not there in "libglib2.0-0"
[12:06] <pointedarrow> hmm, well I have done all updates and the lates one today messed it up
[12:06] <bazhang> BobSapp, since its not released until 11.10, no
[12:06] <TVquest> is there a command that will show available audio mixer devices?
[12:06] <pointedarrow> alsamixer in termnal
[12:06] <love4linux> glebihan so i have the package installed but I cant find it?
[12:07] <pointedarrow> TVqest, type in alsamixer_
[12:07] <glebihan> love4linux, according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4451973, you would have to manually install the old libglib1.2-dev package
[12:08] <pointedarrow> TVquest, sorry lol, type in alsamixer in terminal, lots to mess with there
[12:08] <TVquest> thanks
[12:10] <pointedarrow> am I forced to do a full reinstallation now_
[12:10] <pointedarrow> ?
[12:10] <shinsuke> hi. i think i once saw an ascii based window manager. is there really one?
[12:11] <pointedarrow> is it possible to launch a sfck from live cd_
[12:11] <love4linux> glebihan so where can I find the libglib1.2 and install it?
[12:12] <love4linux> glebihan and should I uninstall the newer version?
[12:12] <whoppergator> gh0stpirate: i'm going to crash, good luck with the scripting!
[12:13] <glebihan> love4linux, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib1.2/1.2.10-19build1
[12:13] <gh0stpirate> whoppergator: me 2 man, frusterated tierd
[12:13] <gh0stpirate> goodnight brothers!
[12:13] <glebihan> love4linux, and yes you should probably uninstall the new version
[12:14] <glebihan> love4linux, btw you'll probably have to install from source as it hasn't been built for natty (or any release since hardy for that matter)
[12:14] <pointedarrow> how to launch a fsck filechek?
[12:14] <IdleOne> !fsck
[12:15] <pointedarrow> IdleOne, is it possible from live cd?
[12:15] <love4linux> glebihan hmmm sounds too much for just one program
[12:15] <pointedarrow> booting is majorly messed up here
[12:16] <killown> There is some tool like usb-creator-gtk for make windows xp ISO bootable?
[12:16] <glebihan> love4linux, what are you trying to build btw?
[12:17] <IdleOne> killown: ask in ##windows
[12:17] <IdleOne> pointedarrow: don't know to be honest.
[12:17] <gh0stpirate> last desperate try of an idiot. http://paste.ubuntu.com/671614/ someone please tell me why my little bash script is making me eat my own %^&*()
[12:17] <love4linux> glebihan I am trying to build netdude ( http://netdude.sourceforge.net/download.html )
[12:19] <glebihan> love4linux, it looks kinda outdated... it only runs with gtk1, not gk2
[12:19] <glebihan> gtk2
[12:20] <love4linux> glebihan yeah I know but is the only packet-editor with GUI that I found wanted to test is for my project
[12:21] <tswboro> hi can someone help me with installing ubuntu
[12:21] <glebihan> love4linux, there's very little chance you'll get it to work imo
[12:21] <Afflicto> Hello everyone
[12:21] <tswboro> i currently have windows installed and am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on another partition
[12:22] <tswboro> my disks are set up in raid 0
[12:22] <love4linux> glebihan downgrading the GTK now i think is too much for me now.. I guess it will probably cause future problems with other newer programs that require gtk2, right?
[12:22] <Afflicto> I'm trying to install ubuntu but my mouse and keyboard won't work. Please help.
[12:22] <glebihan> love4linux, yes, that would be a very bad idea
[12:22] <tswboro> why wont ubuntu show up my raid when i go to install it?
[12:23] <love4linux> glebihan okays.. I will leave it as it is then.. no need to cause any misconfigurations on my ubuntu right now. thank you for helping me out
[12:24] <glebihan> love4linux, you're welcome
[12:24] <DXBLouie> guys is there a way to use Ubuntu Classic Desktop on Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 3?
[12:24] <DXBLouie> once Gnome 3 was installed, the classic option was no longer there
[12:24] <glebihan> DXBLouie, classic is gnome2
[12:24] <bazhang> DXBLouie, gnome3 is completely unsupported
[12:25] <DXBLouie> i upgraded in hopes evolution 3.0.2 would work better.. now i wish i didn't
[12:25] <gh0stpirate> last desperate try of an idiot. http://paste.ubuntu.com/671614/ someone please tell me why my little bash script is making me eat my own %^&*(
[12:25] <DXBLouie> can i revert back somehow?
[12:25] <tswboro> is this the channel to ask ubuntu questions in?
[12:25] <ikonia> tswboro: yes
[12:25] <bazhang> DXBLouie, no downgrade, just reinstall
[12:25] <ikonia> gh0stpirate: pleaes tone down the language
[12:26] <ikonia> gh0stpirate: try the channel #bash for scripting help
[12:26] <robin0800> tswboro, have you the alternate cd?
[12:27] <tswboro> how can install ubuntu 11.04 on a raid 0?
[12:27] <ikonia> tswboro: you don't want to do that,
[12:27] <tswboro> i really do
[12:27] <ikonia> tswboro: are you using fakeraid (motherboard raid)
[12:28] <Myrtti> gh0stpirate: you've got the hashbang wrong
[12:28] <tswboro> i have no idea if its fakeraid :S
[12:29] <ikonia> tswboro: is it motherboard raid ?
[12:29] <tswboro> ye
[12:29] <ikonia> gh0stpirate: the CMD options are also wrong
[12:29] <ikonia> tswboro: then it's fakeraid, and I assure you, you do not wish to install a.) to fakeraid b.) to raid 0
[12:29] <tswboro> why not?
[12:30] <ikonia> tswboro: 1.) fakeraid has terrible linux support and is not easy to manage/work with (if it even works) 2.) raid 0 will cause issues as you can't have /boot on it, and the slightest issues with your file system and your machine is ruined
[12:30] <tswboro> damn
[12:31] <tswboro> looks like i will have to install it on a vm
[12:33] <nemetroid> hi, i'm trying to install natty over netboot (using tftpd32 on windows). it boots neatly to the install menu, but when i select "standard install" (or what it's called), i get a message stating "invalid or corrupt kernel" almost instantly. the tftpd32 log reveals that the entire kernel doesn't even finish sending before this happens, the booting computer stops sending ACKs after about 32 KiB.
[12:33] <nemetroid> any ideas? :)
[12:34] <ikonia> nemetroid: try a different tftp server
[12:36] <fasta> With the latest kernel update my machine stopped booting.
[12:37] <squid2> hello all
[12:37] <shinsuke> i am looking for a way to stream audio files to a single person. what do you propose? thanks
[12:37] <fasta> Which kernel does work?
[12:37] <fasta> All of my previous kernels also do not work.
[12:37] <IdleOne> the one you were using before the update
[12:37] <IdleOne> hmm
[12:37] <fasta> IdleOne: I am now running from the livecd.
[12:39] <fasta> IdleOne: any idea?
[12:39] <jnich20> hello i have a major problem in that i went to try to install 10.4 insterad of 11.04 to see if it would solve a graphics issue i was having andthe instalation failed halway through and it will no longer boot from a cd i just get a flashing cursor so if anyone knows anywhere to look for help it would be much appretiated
[12:40] <IdleOne> fasta: provide a little more detail as to what you are seeing when trying to boot, any errors? someone in here might know
[12:40] <Afflicto> Isn't there anyone who can show me an ubuntu that works with my keyboard and mouse? DO I need to try another distro? like Mint?
[12:40] <fasta> IdleOne: it says that some file related to ufw firewall is not found.

[12:41] <Soulis77-SE> Is this a hacking attempt when I find this in the auth.log  file?
[12:42] <Afflicto> Slacker: My mouse\keyboard doesn't work in ubuntu (latest).
[12:42] <nemetroid> ikonia: ok, i tried another tftp server (winagents) and i get the same problem, the booting computer says "invalid or corrupt kernel image" while the tftp server window still says "transferring file"
[12:42] <|Slacker|> Afflicto: ok but are they wireless or just ordinary ones
[12:42] <Afflicto> Ordinary
[12:42] <Afflicto> USB
[12:42] <|Slacker|> weird
[12:43] <Afflicto> Lots of people have the problem, nobody knows the solution though.
[12:43] <|Slacker|> i see
[12:43] <|Slacker|> Afflicto: have you update the system?
[12:43] <Afflicto> mouse\keyboard worked fine while live testing on the USB flashdrive, also when installing. but
[12:43] <ikonia> nemetroid: have you tried a different kernel,
[12:43] <|Slacker|> nevermind
[12:43] <Afflicto> Slacker: Update?
[12:43] <|Slacker|> Afflicto: nevermind...I was thinking something else
[12:44] <Afflicto> I just installed it on a blank HDD on my other machine.
[12:44] <Afflicto> from the USB flash thing.
[12:44] <Afflicto> Oh and btw, I downloaded ubuntu 10 too, to see if it would work. But it won't boot.
[12:44] <|Slacker|> 0.o
[12:44] <nemetroid> ikonia: hmm, i haven't, where should i look for another one?
[12:45] <cruelman> where can i give turkish help
[12:45] <|Slacker|> Afflicto: that's strange, I have a usb mouse and it works ok on my netbook
[12:45] <ikonia> nemetroid: different distro
[12:45] <|Slacker|> lemme think a bit
[12:45] <bazhang> !tr | cruelman

[12:46] <jnich20> sorry to interupt convesations but i cannot acces any boot cds even ones that i know worked in the past i goe nothing at all if there was an error id know where to llok
[12:46] <Afflicto> yea
[12:46] <Afflicto> and it sucks cause nobody know the solution.
[12:46] <ikonia> jnich20: ubuntu.com has links for where to download a cd
[12:47] <|Slacker|> and with no keyboard there's no way of testing
[12:47] <Afflicto> This is what happens when I try to boot the new flash drive (this time with ubuntu 10) "SYSLINUX 3.85 2010-04-01 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al

[12:47] <Afflicto> Ikonia: google it.
[12:47] <ikonia> Afflicto: that doesn't mean anything
[12:47] <ikonia> Afflicto: is there a bug logged
[12:47] <nemetroid> ikonia: as in trying to install maverick or oneiric instead of natty?
[12:47] <ikonia> nemetroid: any other distro you want
[12:48] <fasta> I have a chroot, but in this chroot my /home is non-empty. I want it to map to some filesystem on some other device, but inside the chroot this one is not available for some reason.
[12:48] <Afflicto> I don't know
[12:48] <fasta> (perhaps because it cannot be mounted twice?)
[12:48] <fasta> (once in the chroot and once outside of it)
[12:48] <jnich20> i have three cds that have loaded in the past one with natty 64bit
[12:48] <ikonia> Afflicto: ok, so instead of just repeating how no-one knows the answer, search the bug database, if there isn't a bug, log one, so that people having the same issue can contribute to fixing it
[12:48] <jnich20> one with natty 32 and one with 10.4.364
[12:49] <Afflicto> Ok how do I do that?

[12:54] <nemetroid> ikonia: i might mention though that i could boot gparted live successfully
[12:55] <ikonia> sharparrow: a repo for grub, or from grub ?
[12:55] <ikonia> nemetroid: where are you getting the kernel to boot ?
[12:56] <sharparrow> ikonia, it is suppose to be done from sofware soruces, but I am in live cd?
[12:56] <ikonia> sharparrow: ok, so mount the disk in the livecd, and modify /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:56] <nemetroid> ikonia: you mean where i get the file? ftp.sunet.se
[12:56] <sharparrow> hmm
[12:57] <sharparrow> ikonia, in terminal?
[12:57] <ikonia> nemetroid: I'll rephrase, where are you getting the kernel you are trying to boot ?
[12:59] <Dink> Is there a known issue with ff6 crashing on 11.04 ?
[13:00] <nemetroid> ikonia: from ftp.sunet.se, specifically from /pub/Linux/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot (kernel is in /ubuntu-installer/amd64)
[13:00] <compdoc> not that Ive seen, but I dont use it much
[13:00] <Dink> whenever I start it up it take me back to login screen
[13:00] <compdoc> could be some add-on
[13:01] <ikonia> nemetroid: can I please see your config for booting the image
[13:01] <sharparrow> ikonia, I am googeling, but cannot find a command for enabeling repositories for grub?
[13:01] <ikonia> sharparrow: what do you want to do, what is your end result
[13:01] <bazhang> Dink, how full is your home directory
[13:01] <Dink> bazhang: 46% full
[13:02] <compdoc> FF6 opens fine
[13:02] <bazhang> Dink, what errors does firefox show when launching from the terminal
[13:02] <Dink> bazhang: nothing. It immediately takes me to gdm login screen.
[13:03] <rethus> i have change my Graphic-Card from nvidia to ati.
[13:03] <rethus> than i get only root-login on startup
[13:04] <ikonia> rethus: you'll need to re-configure your xorg config
[13:04] <rethus> i login and try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:04] <rethus> takes less than one second... nothing happens... i see the promt again

[13:04] <rethus> whats now?
[13:04] <sharparrow> ikonia, it haults at a point
[13:04] <ikonia> sharparrow: what are you trying to do/fix
[13:05] <rethus> ikonia
[13:05] <ikonia> rethus: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, change the driver line to "vesa" that will allow you to boot into a gui, from there you can enable the ati drivers and disable nvidia
[13:05] <rethus> can i start up also in safe-mode and reconfigure it on this way
[13:05] <pharaoh2> I want to have a virtual platform so I can use windows (to play games) and ubuntu (everything else) at the same time. Should I go with KVM or XEN? I will need graphic acceleration on the windows guest. And can someone point me to what is paravirtualization
[13:05] <rethus> ok
[13:05] <ikonia> pharaoh2: playing games in a virtual machine will never work
[13:05] <ikonia> pharaoh2: don't waste your time
[13:06] <Dink> bazhang: it does the same thing when I try to start it up with "safe mode"
[13:06] <nemetroid> ikonia: i'm using the supplied config files, i've pasted the relevant (hopefully) parts: http://paste.ubuntu.com/671644/
[13:06] <rethus> ikonia: only the line Driver "nvidia" to Driver "vesa" ?
[13:06] <sharparrow> ikonia, lubuntu would not boot after latest update, I booted up to "bash like line editing supported, something with Grub, and "press tab for commands", no commands worked really
[13:06] <ikonia> rethus: correct
[13:06] <rethus> ikonia: than reboot, or only start x
[13:06] <sharparrow> ikonia, with no access to boot up options, just a black screen with this message
[13:06] <ikonia> rethus: reboot
[13:06] <glebihan> Dink, did you trying starting it with another profile ?
[13:07] <pharaoh2> ikonia, so, There is no way? Or I dom0 can be windows, and ubuntu guest, but what hypervisor do I have then?

[13:07] <ikonia> pharaoh2: it won't work in a virtual environemtn
[13:07] <ikonia> environment
[13:08] <Dink> glebihan: starting it up with -ProfileManager does the same thing
[13:08] <Dink> running it inside gdb also does the same thing
[13:08] <ikonia> nemetroid: I assume you are using the boot option labled "install"
[13:08] <rethus> k, now i see a blue-background... and again the root login
[13:08] <nemetroid> ikonia, correct
[13:08] <glebihan> Dink, what about if you temporarily rename your ~/.mozilla/firefox folder
[13:08] <ikonia> nemetroid: looks a sane set of options,
[13:08] <sharparrow> ikonia, too tricky to handle?
[13:08] <Dink> glebihan: I just did and same :(
[13:09] <ikonia> sharparrow: not at all, I just can't understand what you're actually saying
[13:09] <glebihan> Dink, I guess you already tried reinstalling ?
[13:09] <rethus> ikonia: is there a config-tool from bash... like sax2 was before?
[13:09] <ikonia> rethus: I don't know what sax is
[13:09] <sharparrow> ikonia, me neither really, well what computer is sayting to e
[13:09] <sharparrow> me
[13:10] <llutz> rethus: sax(2)  is Suse
[13:10] <Dink> glebihan: yeah.
[13:10] <rethus> ah, ok. some time ago i come from suse...
[13:10] <ikonia> llutz: thank you
[13:10] <ikonia> sharparrow: if you want to re-apply grub (which I think is what you're asking) follow this guide
[13:10] <rethus> llutz is right.. it was suse-tool
[13:10] <ikonia> !grub2 > sharparrow
[13:10] <glebihan> Dink, when you did, did you remove or purge firefox ?
[13:10] <Dink> sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox firefox-*
[13:10] <rethus> i wonder that dpkg-reconfigure gives no error-messages at all
[13:11] <sharparrow> sorry, ikonia; the initial problem is booting, lubuntu will not boot. Suspecting it is grub errors, I am runnig grub fix from lubuntu live cd, with issues
[13:11] <gulzar> trying to install Nautilus elementry -- getiing this error with command line -- Error reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~am-monkeyd/+archive/nautilus-elementary-ppa: <urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:499: EOF occurred in violation of protocol> .  What to do?
[13:12] <rethus> ikonia, llutz: any idea, what i could do now?
[13:13] <fasta> What is the name of the graphical tool to manage lvm?
[13:13] <sharparrow> ikonia, would this still aply on a computer with lubuntu only, no dual boot?
[13:13] <Dink> glebihan: btw this is a 64bit vm
[13:14] <rethus> ikonia: what if i only remove xorg.conf ... will a default-conf generated?
[13:15] <ikonia> sharparrow: yes
[13:15] <ikonia> rethus: it won't be regenerated, but it will go back to autodetection
[13:15] <sharparrow> ikonia, hmm, that went fast and easy
[13:15] <rethus> i have found a xorg.conf.failsave... i try this now and reboot
[13:16] <glebihan> Dink, maybe related to that bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/778490
[13:16] <rethus> now i got my x login-screen
[13:17] <Dink> glebihan: yeah might be related… I ran it with strace
[13:17] <Dink> write(2, "Error: cannot open display: :0\n", 31) = 31
[13:18] <Dink> connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6000), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ECO
[13:18] <Dink> NNREFUSED (Connection refused)
[13:19] <shazzr> Ok...my issue with Banshee and Galaxy S II earlier...i disabled the MTP extension, reenabled it again, and voila! It works. Weird.
[13:19] <nemetroid> ikonia: do you have any more suggestions for what i could try doing?
[13:19] <tomodachi> if i renamed a mounted lvm, would that affect anything? or would stuff still work?
[13:19] <ikonia> nemetroid: I'm curious to why the transfer isn't completing
[13:19] <damno> i need to be root to read hddtemp from /dev/sda, would it be safe to change the prmissn of /dev/sda to 444  ?
[13:19] <sharparrow> ikonia worked like a charm
[13:20] <sharparrow> ikonia, boot up is faster than ever!!
[13:20] <ikonia> sharparrow: great
[13:20] <Dink> glebihan: yeah it happens on unity and classic. However it works under "Safe Mode"
[13:20] <rethus> ikonia: before i had an errormessage "description" in /var/lib/dpkg/status was missing... i looked into the file and see "Des<ription" Means < was a strange char... i replace it by c and save the file... may now this broke my system?
[13:20] <codename09> Hey guys i m new to C++ and i want to learn it in linux based IDE but the problem is i dont know how .. i used to use turbo C but I have no clue how to do that in liunx]
[13:21] <rethus> how could i recreate this "status" file?
[13:21] <ikonia> rethus: just remove that file
[13:21] <glebihan> Dink, didn't you say earlier that it didn't work in safe mode either ?
[13:21] <damno> i need to be root to read hddtemp from /dev/sda, what can I do to avoid being a root for this?
[13:21] <tomodachi> codename09: install eclipse
[13:21] <Dink> firefox safe mode did not work but Ubuntu safe mode did
[13:21] <glebihan> Dink, ok
[13:21] <codename09> tomodachi eclips ?!? does it works exactly like turbo C ?!
[13:22] <Dink> glebihan: so yeah its probably related to that Xorg bug
[13:22] <damno> i need to be root to read hddtemp from /dev/sda, what can I do to avoid being a root for this?
[13:22] <fasta> Can I download a recent kernel package somewhere?
[13:22] <tomodachi> codename09: i think I saw turboC back in the old day, But cant really say i remember how it worked. No probably not its gui, not something that looks like an editor for dos 6.22
[13:22] <glebihan> Dink, what version of "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" do you have installed ?
[13:22] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[13:23] <codename09> tomodachi i know right !! lol but I dont have any clue how to work with any of IDEs other than turbo ! ... :(
[13:23] <jnich20> does antone here no how to completely reset a computer with only bios working as my computer will not boot from cd
[13:23] <rethus> ikonia: and than reboot?
[13:24] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know of any Ubuntu programs that can extract .nrg files?
[13:24] <ikonia> rethus: sure
[13:24] <compdoc> jnich20, you mean reset the OS back the the original state?
[13:24] <th0r> jnich20: just take out the hard drive and make sure there is nothing in the cd, usb, or floppy
[13:24] <damno> can anybody ans me why I need to be root to exec hddtemp /dev/sda ??
[13:25] <BobSapp> join #/g/sicp
[13:25] <jnich20> its alaptop
[13:25] <rethus> ikonia: have found out now... realy strange problem
[13:25] <ikonia> damno: possibly to load the kernel modules needed to monitor it
[13:25] <Dink> glebihan: 1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu12.1
[13:25] <rethus> if x start, i see some programm windows (from autostart) but at the moment, if plasma starts, it overlay all programms
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> BobSapp, Preceed join with /
[13:25] <BobSapp> hehe thanks
[13:25] <rethus> for example, if i start pidgin... i see it in the chooser (Alt + Tab), but not on desktop
[13:26] <Sidewinder1> :D
[13:26] <damno> ikonia: what can be done to let it execute in a conky script..without root privilages?
[13:26] <rethus> killall plasma-desktop show all my hidden programs
[13:26] <Calinou> trying to update a nvidia driver, "Before you begin the installation, exit the X server"
[13:27] <ikonia> damno: it's run as a daemon, so you don't need to worry about that
[13:27] <Calinou> how am I supposed to exit it?
[13:27] <Calinou> killing it does not work, not permitted
[13:27] <gfeat> hi ! when i choose gnome at login, i have unity and gnome on the desktop ! wtf ?
[13:27] <ikonia> Calinou: how are you trying to update the nvidia drivers ?
[13:27] <Calinou> the .run file, I downloaded the latest version
[13:27] <Calinou> cd'ing in the folder then sudo ./<the file>
[13:27] <ikonia> Calinou: why are you doing this ?
[13:27] <DXBLouie> bazhang, i removed gnome3 without having to reinstall ubuntu
[13:27] <Calinou> to update my drivers?
[13:27] <ikonia> Calinou: you do know those drivers are totally not supported
[13:27] <ikonia> Calinou: why do you want to update your driver ?
[13:28] <Calinou> I'm trying to play TF2, which requires wine
[13:28] <Calinou> and due to outdated drivers, I can't
[13:28] <Calinou> well, I can update ubuntu, but 700MB of downloading isn't nothing to my brother
[13:28] <ikonia> Calinou: ok - then realise that those drivers have no promise to work and are not supported by ubuntu
[13:29] <glebihan> Dink, well that's the latest version... I'm out of ideas, except maybe going back to firefox 5 or trying firefox 7
[13:30] <Dink> glebihan: thanks. Yeah I might have to use 5 for now.
[13:30] <gfeat> hi ! when i choose gnome at login, i have unity and gnome on the desktop ! wtf ?
[13:30] <ikonia> gfeat: control your language in this channel
[13:30] <glebihan> Dink, you're welcome, sorry I couldn't be of more help
[13:30] <ikonia> gfeat: unity is the new shell used for gnome in ubuntu
[13:30] <ikonia> gfeat: unity "is" gnome
[13:32] <gfeat> yes i know but, when i choose Gnome classic, the unity bar is combine with gnome
[13:32] <gfeat> its a fresh installation with all update
[13:32] <ikonia> gfeat: can't explain that
[13:33] <gfeat> ok lol
[13:34] <nemetroid> ikonia: i did a quick capture with wireshark, the server and client are sending packages back and forth (Data Packet/Acknowledgement) until the server sends data packet 24, at which point the client doesn't acknowledge. it is also at that time it states that the client is invalid or corrupt
[13:35] <babygenius55>  hello.  i'm on ubuntu and i was wondering if I could change the "overall" look of gimp separate from the desktop them...mainly interested in window color.
[13:35] <ikonia> nemetroid: very very odd
[13:36] <nemetroid> ikonia: i agree. i'm starting to think i'll have to look harder for my usb stick... :)
[13:36] <ikonia> nemetroid: I can't understand why, tftp is dumb, so I don't understand why it would stop
[13:42] <squid> hello all!
[13:42] <kroq-gar78> lol that's a lot of joining and quitting :)
[13:43] <Sidewinder1> kroq-gar78, Turn off join/quit.
[13:43] <kroq-gar78> does anybody know where minesweeper keeps the scores? I want to know how I can move them to a different install
[13:44] <kroq-gar78> Sidewinder1: yeah I know. Just it's a lot of stuff.
[13:44] <Sidewinder1> :D
[13:44] <kroq-gar78> :)
[13:47] <glebihan> kroq-gar78, I'd say in "~/.minesweeper"
[13:49] <kroq-gar78> glebihan: nope :( I did some grepping on the code and it looked like it said that it is stored in /usr/share/gnome-games/scores (or something similar), butthat wasn't the case
[13:49] <craig> hi
[13:49] <airtonix> you grepped wrong then
[13:49] <glebihan> kroq-gar78, that's unlikely since a standard user shouldn't have write access to that folder
[13:50] <finale> kroq-gar78: i think its /var/games/gnomine*
[13:50] <kroq-gar78> glebihan: true...
[13:50] <craig> i got Windows XP already installed and i wanna install ubuntu too (from my livecd) - can i use ubiquity command?
[13:50] <kroq-gar78> finale: nice you got it. Thanks :)
[13:50] <airtonix> craig: why would you use that command?
[13:50] <finale> np
[13:51] <Sidewinder1> airtonix, I was wondering that too.
[13:51] <craig> right now i got Partiotion0 (recovery partiotion), Partition1 - windows xp installed, Partiotion3 - i wanna divide it (leave a part for windows files, and another half should be used for ubuntu)
[13:51] <craig> airtonix, 'cos i'm not sure if i won't break something down
[13:52] <kroq-gar78> finale: thanks a lot. If I need to wipe ubuntu, I can still brag about my 2min36sec expert ;) lol
[13:52] <dhiren__8> hi
[13:52] <airtonix> craig: i mean why wouldn't you follow the normal procedure of installing ubuntu from a live cd ?
[13:52] <craig> and what about Partiotion 3 - should i divided it on windows?
[13:52] <dhiren__8> exit
[13:52] <craig> airtonix, what is a normal procedure?
[13:53] <airtonix> craig: to click on the 'install ubuntu" icon on the desktop that is created when you boot from the livecd
[13:54] <craig> i can't see thta icon
[13:54] <salvatore> hello everybody, i am trying to lounch phpmyadmin but i got this message: Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!
[13:54] <airtonix> craig: then you aren't using an offical ubuntu live cd
[13:54] <salvatore> can anybody help me?
[13:54] <airtonix> craig: therefore, not supported here
[13:54] <sandking> hi
[13:54] <craig> ok
[13:55] <Sidewinder1> craig, Just format, using gparted, partition3 ext3/4 with the amount of Gigs you want for ubuntu, format the rest, that you want for win, NTFS and install ubuntu to the ext3/4 partition.
[13:55] <sandking> does anyone use remote desktop with dyndns+airport express (extreme)? i'd like to know what kind of ports i need to forward and how to setup airport with dyndns
[13:56] <airtonix> sandking: that fact that you use dyndns has no affect on which ports you open.
[13:56] <airtonix> effect*
[13:56] <sandking> airtonix, i got no idea how to start remote desktop under ubuntu and a bad headache worsens my cognition abilities :|
[13:57] <airtonix> sandking: you also need to be more precise as to what you mean by "remote desktop" what server software is it?
[13:57] <Sidewinder1> craig, This site is great for just about all "how-to"s: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
[13:57] <craig> Sidewinder1, thanks
[13:57] <sandking> airtonix, i want to use default option in ubuntu 11.04
[13:57] <Sidewinder1> :-)
[13:58] <sandking> right now i'm trying to setup airport under windows but don't know how to get two pieces together (ie airport with dyndns)
[13:58] <airtonix> sandking: i do believe the configuration interface for the default remote desktop shows you the ports
[13:58] <airtonix> sandking: isn't airport a piece of apple hardware? it's just a wifi router
[13:59] <sandking> airtonix, yeah, but setup utility works for me only under windows
[13:59] <sandking> just a piece of legacy hardware from the days back
[13:59] <airtonix> sandking: why do you need a setup utility?
[13:59] <Polah> salvatore: You need to change phpmyadmin's config file permissions to 766 or 744
[14:00] <sandking> airtonix, it's just an app to set it up - i don't know if you can access configuration panel via typing ip address in browser
[14:00] <salvatore> you mean /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php?
[14:03] <airtonix> sandking: if it's not the device that provides you with WAN access then i'm not sure why you need to be concerned with it at all
[14:03] <airtonix> sandking: since in that case it's just a wifi switch
[14:05] <sandking> airtonix, to be honest i'm completely lost with this remote desktop thing. i'm trying to go with this guide http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/connect-home-network-dyndns/ but i'm stuck at "configure your router" as i don't know where to put dyndns info
[14:05] <johannes_udev_pr> hi
[14:05] <sandking> that's why i asked if anyone use apple hw
[14:05] <airtonix> sandking: in the device that provides you with itnernet access (WAN) and allows you to configure port forwarding
[14:06] <johannes_udev_pr> i have  a problem with my ubuntu 11.04, it does not pickup a custom udev rule, does anybody know how to fix/debug that
[14:06] <johannes_udev_pr> ?
[14:08] <sandking> airtonix, can i configure several machines in my lan to acces from outside on the same port?
[14:08] <sandking> and how to check which port ubuntu remote desktop use?
[14:10] <nemetroid> ikonia: ugh, i probably found the problem. filezilla by default apparently transfers files without an extension as ascii
[14:12] <airtonix> sandking: no
[14:12] <ikonia> nemetroid I'd be surprised if the extension was the problem
[14:12] <nemetroid> ikonia: yup, different md5 after redownloading everything as binary, it'll probably work now. thanks for your help!
[14:12] <ikonia> nemetroid: well, surprised by that
[14:18] <Lockzi> Hello, I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04.3. I need to install PCRE 8 or above. I can't find it in apt-get - does anyone have any ideas of how to install it?
[14:18] <Lockzi> 64-bit
[14:19] <lotuspsychje> Lockzi: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-install-libpcre3-dev/
[14:20] <Lockzi> lotuspsychje: Still says PCRE librairies version is too old The Bug Genie 3 requires PCRE librairies 8.0 or later. You have version 7.8 2008-09-05.
[14:20] <Lockzi> Even though I installed the -dev package
[14:21] <lotuspsychje> Lockzi: what about this: http://serverfault.com/questions/283280/how-to-get-pcre-8-x-on-ubuntu-10-04-linode
[14:22] <Lockzi> lotuspsychje: I've read that one as well. Tried using backports but couldn't find the package in there. Just like the comments to that posts said
[14:22] <glebihan> Lockzi, you could also download the source and compile
[14:23] <doulos> exit
[14:24] <Lockzi> lotuspsychje: I've also tried downloading the latest .deb file from http://www.pcre.org/. But it won't install due to "dpkg: regarding libpcre3_8.12-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb containing libpcre3, pre-dependency problem:  libpcre3 pre-depends on multiarch-support   multiarch-support is not installed."
[14:25] <Lockzi> glebihan: I am willing to try that. I've downloaded the source - How do I compile it? Never done that before
[14:25] <Sidewinder1> Lockzi, You might have a look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware?highlight=%28%28CompilingEasyHowTo%29%29
[14:25] <glebihan> Lockzi, extract  the source, then from the folder where you extracted it run "./configure" then "make" and finally "sudo make install"
[14:26] <glebihan> !compile | Lockzi, also :
[14:26] <Sidewinder1> glebihan, Paraphrased! :-)
[14:26] <Lockzi> Sidewinder1: Thanks - Following that guide now
[14:26] <lotuspsychje> I'm looking for a specific ubuntu package for Logo designing

[14:35] <fasta> I get init failed to spawn ufw pre-start process and init:udev-fallback-graphics main process (809) terminated with status 1.
[14:35] <fasta> How can I get rid of those error messages?
[14:37] <yeats> fasta: what were you doing when those errors appeared?
[14:37] <js_> ubuntu doesn't realize that my monitor can do 1680x1050, but i can change it with xrandr if i add the modes manually. how can i make it permanent?

[14:38] <Lockzi> It still says "PCRE librairies version is too old The Bug Genie 3 requires PCRE librairies 8.0 or later. You have version 7.8 2008-09-05."
[14:38] <Lockzi> Do I need to reboot?
[14:38] <fasta> yeats:I booted my machine.
[14:39] <fasta> yeats: but otherwise, nothing. It had been running for quite some time before, though.

[14:40] <lotuspsychje> Lockzi: http://www.thebuggenie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=794&p=2550
[14:41] <fasta> yeats: so, do you know anything about this specific issue?
[14:42] <yeats> fasta: no I don't... I think you'll need to provide more details for people to be able to help (what has changed between the last time it worked to now?  what version?  any custom (non-repo) software installed?)
[14:42] <fasta> yeats: It has been weeks since I last rebooted.
[14:43] <rcmaehl> Quick question. (ubuntu 11.04 64-bit) Is it possible to configure SSH to ask for password AND username instead of just password?
[14:43] <Lockzi> lotuspsychje: Cool, seems to be similar problem. But is Max OSX applicable on Ubuntu? Can I use the same technique he did?
[14:43] <zykotick9> rcmaehl, the user name is supplied on the client side
[14:43] <fasta> rcmaehl: SSH already does this by defaul.t\
[14:43] <fasta> rcmaehl: you just do not know it.
[14:44] <rcmaehl> Then why is it when I ssh into my pc from school or somewhere it only asks for password
[14:44] <fasta> rcmaehl: because it assumes that your username is the same on the target machine by default.
[14:44] <dwp__> I am knew to abuntu anybody have any thoughts how to protect your computer from malicious programs, what Norton is suppose to do for you on windows
[14:44] <rcmaehl> Can I prevent that from happening?
[14:44] <fasta> rcmaehl: if you want another username, you can specify that in different ways.
[14:44] <fasta> rcmaehl: reading the manual would be a start.
[14:45] <zykotick9> fasta, FYI if it's really been "years" since you last rebooted - you're running a machine with kernel vulnerabilities, not too smart (unless you're using ksplice)
[14:45] <rcmaehl> dwp__: sudo apt-get install chkrootkit rkhunter
[14:45] <fasta> zykotick9: it has been weeks, not years.
[14:45] <zykotick9> fasta, oh sorry, my bad.  i think i got yeats confused with years - sorry
[14:46] <MrNthDegree> zykotick9, not true
[14:46] <MrNthDegree> zykotick9, ksplice means rebootless updates
[14:46] <MrNthDegree> err forget what I just said
[14:46] <MrNthDegree> my bad :$
[14:46] <zykotick9> MrNthDegree, "... (unless you're using ksplice)
[14:46] <MrNthDegree> zykotick9, yeah, brain did not engage
[14:46] <yeats> dwp__: this might be a good intro (a couple of years old, but still useful): http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/tutorials/l-harden-desktop/
[14:47] <zykotick9> MrNthDegree, i obviously was suffering the same issue with my weeks vs years :)
, perhaps you SSH to username@hostname? then it would only ask for password. I found that both openssh and nautilus' "connect to server" works this way
[14:47] <dwp__> I guess no one has any thoughts on computer security
[14:47] <zykotick9> MrNthDegree, with Oracle buying ksplice it's future doesn't look good :(
[14:47] <MrNthDegree> dwp__, I do
[14:48] <dwp__> Thanks
[14:48] <MrNthDegree> zykotick9, the underlying technology is FLOSS
[14:48] <yeats> dwp__: two people have responded - are you not seeing our posts?
[14:48] <zykotick9> MrNthDegree, currently
[14:48] <rcmaehl> nuborn: no I do ssh fcofix.dyndns.org
[14:48] <dwp__> Maybe no
[14:48] <rcmaehl> you can try it yourslef
[14:48] <MrNthDegree> zykotick9, yes but Oracle can't take it away
[14:48] <rcmaehl> yourself*
[14:48] <rcmaehl> and it only asks for pass
[14:48] <MrNthDegree> zykotick9, CentOS are already discussing owning Oracle at their own game
[14:49] <fasta> How do I install the latest Ati driver from the command line? The wiki only contains instructions for older versions of Ubuntu.
[14:49] <yeats> dwp__: "10:45 < rcmaehl> dwp__: sudo apt-get install chkrootkit rkhunter"
[14:49] <bigbaddave> Morning

[14:49] <dwp__> thanks yeats

[14:49] <rcmaehl> bigbaddave: ask away
[14:50] <Gentoo64> dwp__, theres a security sticky in the ubuntu forums
[14:50] <bigbaddave> I am in need for a clean user env for building, and I am not sure how to disable someting so that the host does not impose its varables onto the sanatised user
[14:50] <nuborn> rcmaehl: ok, it turned out that it assumed my username. I.e.: "nuborn"@hostname.etc.
[14:50] <rcmaehl> nuborn: oh
[14:51] <ikonia> bigbaddave: what do you want to change ?
[14:51] <bigbaddave> PS1
[14:51] <rcmaehl> <_< I guess it's b/c i use the same username on all my computers
[14:51] <ikonia> bigbaddave: why do you want to get rid of PS1 ?
[14:52] <bigbaddave> and keep out SHLVL, Term, OLDPWD, PWD
[14:52] <ikonia> bigbaddave: what is this in aid of ? what are you trying to actually achieve ?
[14:52] <bigbaddave> with PS1, I like the simple one
[14:52] <thangavel> problem in repairing the pendrive's ms dos filesystem..while trying dosfsck..i got as "Both FATs appear to be corrupt. Giving up."
[14:52] <dwp__> yeats what does that do
[14:52] <bigbaddave> building a linux system from scratch...
[14:52] <yeats> dwp__: what does what do? ;-)
[14:53] <ikonia> bigbaddave: you don't need to change those paramaters for an LFS system
[14:53] <bigbaddave> I need to keep as much of the hosts varables out of the build system as I can
[14:53] <ikonia> bigbaddave: they do not effect an LFS build
[14:53] <bigbaddave> ok
[14:53] <dwp__> does that command install a program that helps with security
problem in repairing the pendrive's ms dos filesystem..while trying dosfsck..i got as "Both FATs appear to be corrupt. Giving up." how to recover it now??
[14:53] <ikonia> thangavel: why are you telling me ?
[14:54] <Gentoo64> dwp__, what are you trying to do?
[14:54] <bigbaddave> ok, Something messed up, and I was trying to see what it was, thanks. :)
[14:54] <ikonia> bigbaddave: it's nothing to do with those varibles, I assure you
[14:55] <Sidewinder1> dwp__, You might have a look at this link, it's old but still pertainent:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
u have once helped me solving some isssues..i thought u can help me now also....
[14:55] <ikonia> thangavel: sorry, I'm busy at the moment
[14:55] <yeats> dwp__: I think you should read the tutorial at the link I provided - it will give you a step by step overview of what those programs are and what they do
[14:55] <yeats> dwp__: and what Sidewinder1 sent
[14:55] <Sidewinder1> Yepperz!
[14:56] <dwp__> I am trying to protect my computer from malware, viruses, and stuff that could harm my computer or give away personal info

[14:56] <Sidewinder1> dwp__, Please, read the links! :-)
[14:56] <Gentoo64> dwp__, you wont get malware etc anyway with normal use
[14:56] <Gentoo64> dwp__, giving away personal info is normally user error
[14:57] <scarleo> Hi, I get a lot of this every time I use apt-get: 'x86_64' is not a valid architecture name: character `_' not allowed (only letters, digits and characters `-') Why? And is it serious? Can I get rid of it?
[14:58] <ikonia> scarleo: can you give me an example of a package that does this ?
[14:58] <coz_> scarleo,  what are you trying to install?
[14:58] <dwp__> aren't there programs that can be downloaded when you are using the internet that can record your keystrokes or send out your passwords
[14:59] <scarleo> ikonia: coz_ : This happens with almost all packages
[14:59] <Gentoo64> dwp__, not really
[14:59] <coz_> scarleo,  if you are doing apt-get install such&such package on a 64 bit system,, I dont believe it has to be prefraced with x86_64
[14:59] <Gentoo64> dwp__, its not like windows where you can install keyloggers just with a click
[14:59] <ikonia> scarleo: please give me an example of one
[14:59] <ikonia> scarleo: give us an exact example of one that is failing
[14:59] <Sidewinder1> dwp__, Firefox saves pswds by default.
[14:59] <scarleo> ikonia: latest I tried was kismet
[14:59] <Gentoo64> ff isnt a keylogger though...
[14:59] <ikonia> scarleo: please give us an exact example of a command that is failing
[15:00] <coz_> scarleo,  and was that  sudo apt-get install kismet   ?
[15:00] <dwp__> peats could you send me that link again
[15:00] <scarleo> ikonia: sudo apt-get install kismet
[15:00] <coz_> mmm
[15:00] <scarleo> ikonia: it's not failing, just a lot of warnings
[15:00] <ikonia> scarleo: please show me the output of the command uname -a

[15:01] <osi_> Hi, can anyone help me to solve a problem with 11.04 on an Inspiron 1100. Apparently a well known problem but I can't sort out the various solutions
[15:01] <coz_> scarleo,  and   what is the readout of uname -m
[15:01] <ikonia> coz_: you can see it x86_64
[15:01] <coz_> didnt see
[15:01] <coz_> now I do
[15:02] <ikonia> scarleo: as a test point your system at a different mirror, run apt-get update, then try again
[15:02] <thangavel> problem in repairing the pendrive's ms dos filesystem..while trying dosfsck..i got as "Both FATs appear to be corrupt. Giving up." how to recover it now??
[15:02] <scarleo> ikonia: ok
[15:03] <Sidewinder1> thangavel, Reformat? NTFS,? Ext3/4?
[15:03] <zykotick9> thangavel, for filesystem errors it's probably best to use the native OS, so in this case Windows
[15:04] <thangavel> the current filesystem is msdos
[15:05] <BluesKaj> thangavel, are you trying to format the drive or ?
[15:05] <scarleo> ikonia: same thing with new mirror, I pasted the whole output here as it says a lot more: http://pastebin.com/bv4Px7p0
[15:05] <sh0t> hi all! can anyone help me to set the mic in a eeepc with ubuntu please,?
[15:05] <thangavel> yes...but 5.9 MB of memry remains even after trying formatting too
[15:06] <Sidewinder1> thangavel, I don't think "msdos" is a filesystem, at least nowadays; possibly fat16, fat32, NTFS?...
[15:06] <Gentoo64> msdos is partition table
[15:06] <Sidewinder1> Or an OS.
[15:07] <thangavel> tht is a memory card used in phones..now it is corrupted becoz i accidentally removed it while copying...
[15:07] <coz_> sh0t,  first thing I would do is open a terminal.. type    alsamixer   and check if any slider is down or muted  "m"  on keyboard mutes or unmutes
[15:07] <sh0t> coz_, check :) alsamixer is ok
[15:07] <th0r> thangavel: if you crashed it in that fashion reformatting is probably required
[15:07] <devish> no one is on eclipse
[15:07] <gravestone> How can I add an applet in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[15:08] <devish> i have installed eclipse using tall bal from eclipse.org but when i run it ,it gives "/opt/eclipse/eclipse: 5: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"
[15:08] <sh0t> coz_, i mean...just "beep" is down but i think it's ok.
[15:08] <thangavel> i tries formatting..but tht didn't help me..
[15:08] <coz_> sh0t,   mm I am not up on many of the troubleshooting for sound,, if no one picks up on this here at this particular time, I would also open both the #pulseaudio and #alsa channels,,
[15:08] <devish> *tar bal
[15:08] <thangavel> thOr,i tried tht..but helpless
[15:08] <sh0t> k
[15:08] <sh0t> tnx
[15:08] <th0r> thangavel: you might have crashed the partition table. I would load up gparted and see about deleting any existing partitions and starting the card all over from scratch
[15:09] <Gentoo64> devish, dont know what eclipse is, but did you install it?
[15:09] <Sidewinder1> !sound | sh0t
[15:09] <Gentoo64> like make install etc?
[15:09] <coz_> sh0t,  I dont have access to that particular system,, however ,, when you open alsamixer,, what is the sound card reported in the upper left?
[15:09] <fasta> I get init: udev-fallback-graphics main process (806) terminated with status 1.
[15:09] <fasta> How can I get rid of that message?
[15:09] <sh0t> coz_,  Card: HDA Intel
[15:09] <thangavel> thOr..tell me how to do tht..somehow help me yaar...
[15:10] <Gentoo64> thangavel, use gparted and click format on the disk
[15:10] <sh0t> ubottu, i've tried...but nothing...
[15:10] <sh0t> ahahah
[15:10] <devish> eclipse is a ide  yes i did whAt is required
[15:10] <coz_> sh0t,  ok hold on
[15:10] <scarleo> coz_:  ikonia With a bit more thinking I guess this is from trying to install glideapps with wrong architecture. Tride apt-get remove glideapps but it didn't find the package. How can I get rid of it?
[15:10] <Andreas_W> Hiho
[15:11] <sh0t> ok!
[15:11] <thangavel> thOr:while trying to repair using  dosfsck in ubuntu..i got as "Both FATs appear to be corrupt. Giving up." how to recover it now??
[15:11] <Andreas_W> Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooo...
[15:11] <Andreas_W> ?!?!
[15:11] <Gentoo64> Andreas_W,
[15:11] <TheEvilPhoenix> Andreas_W:  do you need help?
[15:11] <TheEvilPhoenix> with something*
[15:12] <coz_> sh0t,   not sure this will fix it ,, but you can always revert the setting   http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/fix-hda-intel-realtek-alc887-no-sound.html
[15:12] <coz_> scarleo,  did you install t his glideapps via apt or compilied?
[15:12] <th0r> thangavel: you can use gparted to remove and repartition the card, but be very careful. If you misuse gparted you could wipe out the hard drive on your computer.
[15:12] <sh0t> i try...
[15:13] <Andreas_W> i'm trying to find someone
[15:13] <scarleo> coz_:  via apt I think
[15:13] <Gentoo64> Andreas_W, who?
[15:13] <killer__> hi i had installed ubuntu on my pc with windows 7....then i deleted the ubuntu drive from disk management in windows... now i cannot recover my drive ... when i try to make a new simple volume...it gives an error.."there is not enough space on the disk to complete this operation"
[15:13] <coz_> sh0t,   reboot after doing that also book mark that page so you can revert it if it doesnt work
[15:13] <killer__> anybody knows how i can recover my disk space
[15:13] <Gentoo64> killer__, so you have unallocated space where ubuntu was?
[15:13] <yeats> killer__: you could try gparted
[15:14] <Andreas_W> matthias_r_94...no problem i found him already ;)
[15:14] <coz_> scarleo,  see if a sudo apt-get auotremove  glideapps   works
[15:14] <killer__> yes it is free space ..as shown in disk management
[15:14] <yeats> !gparted | killer__
[15:14] <Gentoo64> killer__, so format it as ntfs and join it? is that what your trying to do?
[15:14] <thangavel> thOr...ok..help me while using it..right now i'm downloading....
[15:15] <jack__> test
[15:15] <scarleo> coz_:  E: Unable to locate package glideapps
[15:15] <jack__> ok....
[15:15] <coz_> scarleo,  ok ,,
[15:15] <scarleo> coz_:  And I did check the spelling, it's correct
[15:15] <iceroot_> is it possible with nx to hear the sound on the remote-machine and not on the local machine?
[15:15] <jack__> since JoliCloud is based on Ubuntu would i be able to talk here??
[15:15] <ikonia> jack__: no
[15:16] <jack__> but its still based on ubuntu 10.04
[15:16] <iceroot_> jack__: doesnt matter
[15:16] <coz_> scarleo,   ikonia   seems to have a better handle on this than I do so I will back off for him
[15:16] <ikonia> jack__: but it's not ubuntu
[15:16] <killer__> gentoo64: it shows only two options...1) create anew simple volume..20to delete volume..
[15:16] <scarleo> coz_:  I guess the only problem is the lines in /var/lib/dpkg/status that still refers to glideapps  even though it's not there
[15:16] <jack__> ok... is there a jolios server?
[15:16] <iceroot_> jack__: you are not talking in #debian about ubuntu because its based on debian
[15:16] <scarleo> coz_:  ok, thanks
[15:16] <ikonia> coz_: I just gave a suggestion, there wasn't really much diagnoses behind it
[15:16] <iceroot_> jack__: same for everything else
[15:16] <Gentoo64> killer__, then delete the ubuntu volume (so its unallocated) then extend the windows volume
[15:16] <coz_> scarleo,  can you check  there to see if it can be removed
[15:17] <coz_> ikonia,  ah ok,,
[15:17] <scarleo> coz_:  So can I just edit that file manually?
[15:17] <ikonia> scarleo: I'd try using a different mirror as a test
[15:18] <coz_> scarleo,   if possible hunt down any reference to glideapps  to see if they can be removed,, I would t hink yes  should be able to open that with sudo gedit  or gksudo the file
[15:18] <scarleo> ikonia: I tried that as per your suggestion, that was not it. It's a previously installed and removed app (glideapps) that still has some entries in /var/lib/dpkg/status that is causing it, it's not properly uninstalled
 a warning message shows that partition will become inaccessible if i delete it..is that a problem??
[15:18] <sandking> anyone has any oss alternative to team viewer?
[15:18] <scarleo> coz_:  Ok, I'll try
[15:19] <ikonia> scarleo: remove  /var/lib/dpkg/status and re-run apt-get update
[15:19] <devish> will 64 bit eclipse  work on 32 bit os?
[15:19] <Gentoo64> killer__, not sure why itd say that. like someone else said try gparted as it handles both ext and ntfs
[15:19] <scarleo> ikonia: Ok
[15:19] <Gentoo64> killer__, but you can try it from windows anyway. you wont ruin your drive as long as your clicking the right partition
[15:19] <zykotick9> devish, i'd guess no
[15:20] <killer__> gentoo64: so will it resolve my problem..??
[15:20] <Gentoo64> killer__, what problem? removing the ubuntu partition?
[15:21] <Thelmaria> I'm having issues with my network. Duel boot machine, works fine in windows. It seems like the interface is dropping in and out - pinging my gateway works for a while, then 'destination host unreachable', then it'll come up again. I know the gateway's not flapping. /var/log/dmesg has nothing. What other logs should I look at?
[15:21] <Gentoo64> Thelmaria, realtek card? 8168?
[15:21] <killer__> the problem is that...after deleting the ubuntu partition i can not reclaim my disk space in windows...it shows as free space.. but i can not create a new volume so basically i am not able to use it
[15:22] <Thelmaria> Gentoo64: Yes.
[15:22] <Gentoo64> killer__, no idea why. gparted will do it
[15:22] <Gentoo64> Thelmaria, thats because realtek cards suck for linux
[15:22] <Gentoo64> Thelmaria, is it an 8168 though?
[15:22] <scarleo> ikonia: It doesn't recreate it again: Reading package lists... Error!
[15:22] <scarleo> E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory)
[15:22] <scarleo> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[15:22] <Thelmaria> Gentoo64: Yes. RTL8111/8168B.
[15:22] <coz_> killer__,   so windows will not boot now yes?
[15:22] <BluesKaj> killer doenload and burn or copy gparted live cd to media and use that to reallocate and format the space
[15:23] <Gentoo64> Thelmaria, same as my onboard one. i had to buy an intel card unfortunately
[15:23] <ikonia> scarleo: that's odd......
[15:23] <Gentoo64> Thelmaria, these problems have been around for years and never been  fixed
[15:23] <sh0t> coz_, i've tried your link but nothing so i restored the conf as before...
[15:23] <scarleo> ikonia: I just moved it so I still have a copy of it
[15:23] <sh0t> coz_, the problem is that if i use an utility like sound record i can record my voice...but not with skype...
[15:24] <Thelmaria> Gentoo64: Ah. Fair enough, I'll dig out another card sometime. Thanks for the heads-up.
[15:24] <Gentoo64> Thelmaria, ok
[15:24] <ikonia> scarleo: hang on, lets see how to re-create this cleanly
[15:24] <coz_> sh0t,  darn,, I was hoping that single line change would work,, ok my suggestion is to go to both  #pulseaudio and #alsa channels,,  I think they are moe likely to have troubleshooting reources for this
[15:24] <killer__> gentoo64: how to use this GPARTED??
[15:25] <sh0t> ok tnx for your time coz_
[15:25] <ke0kw> Hey whatsup guys, I need help with a real linux expert

[15:29] <Mp3Lover> ikonia, can i paste links here? or have to prvmsg u?

[15:29] <Mp3Lover> ikonia,    https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer
[15:30] <scarleo> ikonia: Do you think dpkg-reconfigure would work in this case?
[15:30] <ke0kw> Gentoo64: I have a capslock mod, I would like to fix
[15:30] <scarleo> ikonia: I mean is it safe to try?
[15:30] <ikonia> scarleo: no, but it's certainly worth a try
[15:30] <ke0kw> Gentoo64: see on post #43

[15:31] <bjhaid> hi, i need to get my machine startup on its own once their is power outage occurs and power is restored
[15:31] <ikonia> Mp3Lover: I would personally recommend, not following that guide, more so if you are new to ubuntu
[15:31] <elv> hi are these temp normal? Core 0: +77.0°C, Core 1: +78.0°C?
[15:31] <centHOGG> elv... little hot but depends on the proc
[15:31] <Ellipsis753> Hey, I use classic ubuntu and deleted a cluster of a few system icons in the top right (right click remove from panel), so now I only have background programs in the top right, however I also don't have the sound icon so can't change my sound level, is there a way to have only the sound icon but not the others?
[15:32] <Mp3Lover> ikonia, jeje thanks for the info... i really did a mess with the compiz-config thanks god i found a command for reset all
[15:32] <scarleo> ikonia: No, it did nothing
[15:32] <elv> centHOGG: i have intel p8600
[15:32] <ikonia> scarleo: didn't think so, but it was worth a chance
[15:32] <Mp3Lover> ikonia, how i can add codecs for 264 files or mkv.... to media the media player?
[15:32] <Gentoo64> elv, for idle? no
[15:32] <centHOGG> elv: stock cooler or aftermarket?

[15:32] <ikonia> !codecs | Mp3Lover
[15:32] <ikonia> Mp3Lover: take a look at those urls
[15:32] <coz_> Mp3Lover,  also if you have compiz issues  you can me in #compiz  as well
[15:32] <centHOGG> hdds too hot elv

[15:33] <devish> ubuntu is a great OS :)
[15:33] <centHOGG> pm me
[15:33] <coz_> !pm
[15:33] <ikonia> scarleo: I had that in the back of my mind, but I can't see that working either, however again, worth a try as it's less invasive
[15:33] <Mp3Lover> ikonia, ok thanks...
[15:33] <ke0kw> Gentoo64: did you check it out bud?
[15:33] <Gentoo64> ke0kw, yes. but not sure about xorg
[15:33] <cypha> what's the official directory i'm supposed to extract applications of my own in?
[15:34] <cypha> like stuff I don't get from the repository
[15:34] <ke0kw> Gentoo64: hmmm, fair enough
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> cypha:  totally depemds on the app in question
[15:34] <cypha> wmctrl
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> cypha:  and if its for the system or just you ruser.
[15:34] <Gentoo64> ke0kw, ill have a look ina abit if i have time
[15:34] <cypha> system
[15:34] <jamesanslow> could be /usr/bin cypha

[15:35] <fasta> Is there anywhere someone who does know anything about udev and the graphics system?
[15:36] <scarleo> ikonia: No, no luck with that either
[15:36] <coz_> darn
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> weird - this windows box is showing 5 primary partions..
[15:37] <ikonia> scarleo: didn't think so
[15:38] <jasongriffee> evolution's side bar is way to big, but I can't make it smaller, suggestions?
[15:38] <Dr_Willis> this may be a tricky linux install.. except ubuntu is allready on it. Now how did i manage to get 5 primaries.
[15:38] <rumpe1> Dr_Willis, primary partitions on the same disk?
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> rumpe1:  yea. Looking at the disk via indows disk manager right now. Its showing 5 primaries..
[15:39] <rumpe1> Dr_Willis, funny ^^
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> I havent booted this box to linux in ages. its the wifes pc. :)  It seems its shodung / and the swap as primaries.. pretty sure they are not.  guess i boots to linux and see.
[15:40] <coz_> scarleo,  out of curiosity,, if you do  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   does it stall at that error or complete the command?
[15:40] <DrMax> hmm I have a new GT520 and it keeps detecting my screen as a TV (despite being a 1920x1200) over HDMI and gives me crap resolution of 480i (the previous GT7300 worked just fine, so it's (probably) not a screen issue)
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> good thing about linux.. booting to a os that hasent been ran in 5+ mo.. wont nag you about updates and start updating then demand a reboot.. unline some other os's out there. :)
[15:40] <DrMax> any idea on this ?
[15:41] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: are you familiar with xor?
[15:41] <ke0kw> xorg
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> ke0kw:  Xorg is the X used in ubuntu...  replaced  Xfree a few years back....
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> :)
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> !info xorg
[15:41] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: are you sure?
[15:42] <scarleo> coz_: I'm trying to manually remove all glideapps entries now and it seems to work
[15:42] <coz_> scarleo,  ah excellent
[15:42] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: cuz I am referring to this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/plz-fix-the-caps-lock-response-time-glitch-in-linux-distros-881317/page3.html
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> used to be using xfree on linux, then there was some licensing issues/disagreements.. so people moved to xorg I think.
[15:42] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: can you see post number 43
[15:42] <Saik2> anyone know where to go to change the IP onubuntu LTS server?
[15:43] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: its a small modification I need to do so that caps lock acts like a regular key
[15:43] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: someone gave this suggesion on the forum, but its french to me
[15:44] <BluesKaj> Saik2, it's usually best to do it manually on your router
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> #43 is refering to patching the source code i imagine.. you dont (that i have ever seen) patch the binaries  ke0kw
[15:44] <zykotick9> Saik2, if you aren't use NM then /etc/network/interfaces
[15:44] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: so its not possible?
[15:44] <thangavel> hey guyss..i have downloaded the gparted..now how to repair my filesystem??
[15:45] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: to make the modifiction?
[15:45] <scarleo> coz_:  ikonia Thanks for your help, manual editing did the trick
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> ke0kw:  if you knew how to recompile X from source, and apply the patch befor compiling.... its possible
[15:45] <Duolos> What's the easiest/best way to installed Ubuntu (gnome) into Kubuntu 11.04?
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> ke0kw:  now if the patch worked...  no idea
[15:45] <jamesanslow> Dr_Willis do you mean migrate to ubuntu?
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> Duolos:  instll ubuntu-desktop package
[15:46] <zykotick9> Duolos, install "ubuntu-desktop" i think
[15:46] <jamesanslow> Duolos *
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> jamesanslow:  huh?
[15:46] <centHOGG> jugalos
[15:46] <Duolos> ah, so that still hasn't changed.  Thank you
[15:46] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: is there any other way to have caps lock act like a regular key
[15:46] <jamesanslow> Dr_Willis: typo
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> ke0kw:  no idea. never tried.. never wanted to.
[15:46] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: hmm
[15:46] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: shiet man
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> ke0kw:  ive seen things about remaping it to ctrl i recall.. but never needed that eitehr
[15:47] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: ahh
[15:47] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: the thing is I want it to run like shift
[15:47] <th0r> ke0kw: then just remap it as shift. I think you could do that with xmodmap
[15:47] <Duolos> Hmm.. if I install ubuntu-desktop, is that going to clutter my KDE system with gnome software?  Kinda just wanted to try the new Unity interface, but not if it costs me my cleanness :P
[15:48] <ke0kw> th0r: does this app come with ubuntu?
[15:49] <th0r> ke0kw: it isn't an app. You use xev to determine the proper key codes, then redefine the key in a file called .Xmodmap in your ~. There are howtos on the web for doing it all. I have capslock defined as tab, but I think I once had it redefined as shift
[15:49] <Saik2> BluesKaj: it's a VM
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/remapping-caps-lock-to-shift-844875/
[15:49] <ke0kw> th0r: cool
[15:49] <th0r> I have my moments
[15:49] <llutz> Saik2: /etc/network/interfaces
[15:49] <Saik2> zykotick9: nano /etc/network/interfaces  ?
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> xmodmap -e "add Shift = Caps_Lock"
[15:50] <zykotick9> Saik, sudo would be required.  Be sure you aren't using Network Manager.
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> try thise 2 commands  ke0kw
[15:50] <Saik2> llutz: nano that, right?
[15:50] <llutz> Saik2: whatever editor you like
[15:50] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: hmm
[15:50] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: will try :)
[15:50] <Saik2> zykotick9: it's a root accout, so sudo won't be needed
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> i cant test.. not on a linux box.
[15:52] <Saik2> llutz: I prefer to stick with what I know lol
[15:53] <ke0kw> so I in xmodmap
[15:53] <ke0kw> in terminal?
[15:54] <th0r> ke0kw: enter those two commands in terminal. If it changes the capslock the way you want, you can then create .Xmodmap to make the change permanent
[15:54] <ke0kw> which 2 commands?
[15:55] <ke0kw> I think the second one is just an output
[15:55] <yeats> Duolos: yes - ubuntu-desktop will install all the GNOME stuff along with Unity - no simple way to clean it up (though somebody on the web may have something useful)
[15:55] <thewrath_> heyall
[15:55] <th0r> ke0kw: the two xmodmap commands Dr_Willis gave you a minute ago
[15:55] <ke0kw> on this page/.
[15:55] <Saik2> on another entirely unrelated to ubuntu note.. anyone in the UK mind pming me? (I'm looking for smething from uk ites and I'm not able to find it)
[15:55] <ke0kw> th0r: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/remapping-caps-lock-to-shift-844875/
[15:55] <ke0kw> over here?
[15:56] <thewrath_> i know this is not a ubuntu quesetion butwhy can i not connect my laptop to both a HDMI and a VGA connection?
[15:57] <th0r> ke0kw: ok....we can work off the website. About 2/3 down that page it talks about adding the two lines to /etc/X11/Xmodmap. If you put the lines there, they will be in effect for all users.
[15:57] <bjhaid> hi
[15:58] <th0r> ke0kw: to just make the changes for yourself, put those two lines in ~/.Xmodmap and every time you log in they will take effect
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> The 2 commands would take affect idmieatly.... as a test
[15:58] <coz_> thewrath_,  I assume you already have the hardware for it ...yes?
[15:59] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: is this one of the commands I pinput?
[15:59] <ke0kw> xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> ke0kw:  BOTH....
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> at bottom of that url.. it shows them
[15:59] <ke0kw> Dr_Willis: ok
[15:59] <th0r> oh...we're back to the xmodmap commands again <smile>
[16:00] <ke0kw> when i input both of those commands, nothing happens
[16:00] <ke0kw> it goes to a different line
[16:00] <ke0kw> without any message
[16:00] <th0r> ke0kw: how does the capslock work now?
[16:00] <ke0kw> could it still have worked
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> ke0kw:  so...... did you try your caps lock key?
[16:00] <ke0kw> one sec will try now
[16:00]  * Dr_Willis sighs
[16:00] <th0r> hehehe
[16:00] <coz_> thewrath_,  I also assume that you video card can handle 1080p or if not se it to 720p  but I am not up on HDMI settings much
[16:03] <albo> ? ask
[16:03] <th0r> Dr_Willis: I assume he is off getting his test procedure approved
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> not sure why hitting caps lock ajd just typing in the  irc client wouldent been a quick test.....
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> :)
[16:04] <th0r> hehehe
[16:04] <th0r> I used to wonder about such things...but it gave me headaches
[16:04] <albo> Hi all - I have ubuntu server 11.04 installed, I installed ubuntu-desktop, then removed GDM.  Now, upon startup, I don't get a login prompt.  I just get log messages about conf on my monitor.  Any idea how to get my login prompt back?  tia!
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> albo:  try alt-ctrl-f1
[16:07] <th0r> I guess it worked
[16:07] <albo> ok, will do.  but, will that fix it for good?  if not, what must I do to get the prompt automatically to pop up at startup?
[16:08] <brontosaurusrex> how would i disable any auto-logout in 11.04 ubuntu desktop?
[16:08] <ke0ko> I suppose it was my fault for not being specific on the problem
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> theres not any auto logout that i have everf seen brontosaurusrex
[16:08] <brontosaurusrex> it jumps to "enter the password" screen
[16:09] <th0r> brontosaurusrex: that is just the screensaver
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> thats a security setting of the screensaver.. after so lokc the system locks.. that is NOT a logout
[16:09] <ke0ko> Its a problem with the transition from Lower Case to Upper Case letters. For example if you type a few sentences and use "CAPS LOCK" instead of "SHIFT", your sentence will look like this... HOw are you? JOhn is fine.
[16:09] <brontosaurusrex> screesavers are disabled
[16:10] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: is this more clear? :)
[16:10] <coz_> brontosaurusrex,  open the screensaver app dialog once
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> ke0ko:  never seen that issue on any pc in the 15+ years ive been using them :)
[16:11] <brontosaurusrex> coz_, and?
[16:11] <coz_> brontosaurusrex,  make sure both tick boxes at the bottom are ticked then untick the bottom one first then the top one,, so   "Lock screen when screensaver is active" first then untick "Activate screensaver when computer isidle"  seconf
[16:11] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: all distrox have it :D
[16:11] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: if you dont have it, either you have modified it, or you may not know the problem
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> ke0ko:  cant say ive ever noticed it on any of them. on any pc.  if i hit capslock - it stays locked
[16:11] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: yes
[16:11] <brontosaurusrex> ok, and this should work??
[16:11] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: but lets say you used capslock like shift
[16:12] <brontosaurusrex> coz_, thats almost a bug isnt it?
[16:12] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: try and you will know
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> ke0ko:  so its a problem WITH using capslock as shift.... you mean
[16:12] <coz_> brontosaurusrex,   not really,, both tick boxes have different functions.. one doesnt necessarily disable the other
[16:12] <centHOGG> you wanna have a real problem with capslock and shift... buy a blackberry
[16:12] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: no, with shift, you have to hold down and press a lettr
[16:12] <brontosaurusrex> well, they were both disabled here
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> I just use capslock as capslock.. and shift as shift... :)
[16:13] <coz_> brontosaurusrex,  oh!! then that would be an issue for sure
[16:13] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: with capslock you have to press the caps lock key, and then press it again to disable upper case
[16:13] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: the transition.. is where it farks up
[16:13] <coz_> brontosaurusrex,  but test it again to see if t he renabling and disabling  is obeyed this time
[16:13] <th0r> Dr_Willis: I think what he is saying is that after using capslock for a bit, the shift key gets 'sticky'
[16:13] <ke0ko> Dr_Willis: on windows and mac, it does not happen
[16:13] <ke0ko> yes
[16:14] <ke0ko> For example.... DOwnload a game
[16:14] <notica> how do i set
[16:14] <ke0ko> if you use caps lock, there is a lag
[16:14] <ke0ko> in the second letter
[16:14] <notica> hi there
[16:16] <zfe> hello
[16:16] <culqui> hi

[16:18] <Duolos> I'm having a problem with my sound in ubuntu. I can only control volume using alsamixer in the konsole. My physical volume controls do nothing. As well as trying to use Kmix to adjust.
[16:19] <thangavel> any help in working wit gaprted to format a corrupted filesystem will be appreciated????
[16:19] <MrNthDegree> zfe, if you're trying to use Boot Camp to do it, you should in theory be fine with the normal 32-bit CD
[16:19] <valthyx> hello, i have a problem with my wireless connection in thinkpad T420
[16:19] <zfe> MrNthDegree,
[16:19] <valthyx> i just installed ubuntu and could not use see any wireless card/interface
[16:20] <zfe> i plan to use refit
[16:20] <zfe> and a normal cd
[16:20] <tommie-lie> valthyx: what's wrong with it, mine worked out of the box on my T420
[16:20] <dr3mro> while booting i get this can any one help ?  mmc0: Unknown controller version (16). You may experience problems
[16:20] <dr3mro> using ubuntu 11.04 generic

[16:20] <valthyx> tommie-lie, i was using windows, and just installed ubuntu today
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> albo:  by default the system is wetiching to the f7 console. I think its an argument in /etc/default/grub file
[16:20] <valthyx> i tried lspci | grep wireless, nothing shown
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> dr3mro:  you have a built in media-card-reader thing?
[16:21] <valthyx> ifconfig -a ,  only lo and eth0
[16:21] <tommie-lie> valthyx: what wifi card do you have? make sure to have the hardware killswitch enabled (right side, just behind the optical drive). you may also try pressing Fn+F5 until the wifi led turns on
[16:21] <valthyx> i am suspecting that the driver is not there
[16:22] <tommie-lie> valthyx: and I've heard that if you disabled the wifi card in windows it may for some laptops not be visible from Linux after a reboot
[16:22] <zykotick9> valthyx, try "lspci | grep -i wireless"
[16:22] <dr3mro> Dr_Willis, what do you mean ?
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> tommie-lie:  i can confirm that. :) ive had several i HAD to have on in windows.. or linux never saw them
[16:22] <tommie-lie> valthyx: well, does lspci say something about a "Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300" controller or something?
[16:22] <valthyx> tommie-lie, i have enabled in windows. i was using it. everything is on.
[16:23] <valthyx> ok, i will try
[16:23] <culqui> someone can help me to erease files fron usb, i am using xubuntu
[16:23] <Dr_Willis> dr3mro:  do you have a Multicard-slot/reader for mmc/sd/ and so on? thats what a mmc0 is refering to i belive
[16:23] <tommie-lie> Dr_Willis: well, I never came to actually activating the preinstalled Windows, started right away with installing Linux ;-)
[16:23] <hooshmand> Hi, I have a question. how can I install ubuntu on 4 Gb usb?
[16:23] <dr3mro> Dr_Willis, but it works .. why i have this message ?

[16:24] <centHOGG> yeah
[16:24] <centHOGG> maybe ubuntu server hooshmand

[16:27] <valthyx> those are what i think is relevant
[16:27] <dr3mro> Dr_Willis, I have this error too "Error: Driver 'mdio-gpio' is already registered, aborting' during boot
[16:27] <latagore> em: what desktop environment are you using? It should be somewhere under keyboards
[16:28] <tommie-lie> valthyx: actually, only the first one ;-)
[16:29] <tommie-lie> valthyx: well, I have the 6300 and it worked right out of the box with the iwlwifi kernel driver
[16:29] <tommie-lie> valthyx: you can try to load that manually (sudo modprobe iwlwifi) and see if there are any errors in dmesg output
[16:29] <StayInSkool> hey folks. i'm trying to access an HFS+ volume. I've cd'd into a directory there but when I try to open a file it tells me 'no such file or directory' even though ls shows the file i want
[16:29] <valthyx> tommie-lie, alright, will try now
[16:29] <StayInSkool> what's up with that

[16:31] <coz_> thewrath_,  well as I said I am not up on HDMI  with vga  but if the card cant handle the 1080p  then set it to the 720p and test it,,  otherwise if no one can answer this  here at this time,, also try the ##linux channel ,, they hahttp://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/fix-hda-intel-realtek-alc887-no-sound.have a broder based resource

[16:33] <lwizardl> has anyone here tried to install a new os on the webos tablets?
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> StayInSkool:  so whats the files name?
[16:33] <StayInSkool> all the files seem to say that. i can't cd into a dir either
[16:33] <tommie-lie> valthyx: that's strange, according to dpkg, my module is from linux-image-3.0.0-8-generic (I use the kernel from oneiric because of UEFI), so it should come with linux-image-generic
[16:33] <StayInSkool> '.vimrc'
[16:34] <StayInSkool> actually non-hidden folders cd into fine. it's the ones starting with a dot that are problematic

[16:34] <zykotick9> christo_m, you could check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:34] <tommie-lie> it's even in the natty generic kernel
[16:35] <IdleOne> em: Please do character map testing somewhere else.
[16:35] <christo_m> zykotick9: looked already
[16:35] <christo_m> nothing useful
[16:36] <tommie-lie> valthyx: um, if you have a linux kernel (and you should have one when you can boot the system ;-)), you should also have this module. Unless something went terribly wrong... you could try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic"
[16:36] <christo_m> zykotick9: maybe im overlooking something. is there a certain keyword i can search or grep for?
[16:37] <zykotick9> christo_m, not that I know of.  Good luck.

[16:37] <christo_m> geforce 8800 GTS
[16:37] <valthyx> tommie-lie, it is actually backbuntu
[16:37] <christo_m> i dont know it may be overheating.
[16:38] <christo_m> these artifacts are getting weird on my ubuntu machine.. like in starcraft weird things happen
[16:38] <christo_m> so i dont know if i have to rollback drivers or what
[16:38] <centHOGG> depends on how many years you've overclocked
[16:38] <tommie-lie> valthyx: um, which means?
[16:38] <SaW> bloody backtrack 5 r1 has no package installer??
[16:39] <oCean> SaW: BT is not supported here
[16:39] <latagore> em, glad I could help
[16:39] <valthyx> tommie-lie, it is not the full ubuntu, it is a "relative" of ubuntu
[16:39] <valthyx> it is a distro based on ubuntu
[16:39] <SaW> it was just a observation my friend :-)
[16:39] <oCean> valthyx: but it's an unsupported derivative.
[16:39] <valthyx> oCean, what do you mean?
[16:40] <auronandace> !derivatives | valthyx
[16:40] <oCean> valthyx: that you should take your support questions to a room where they can support you. Maybe #backtrack-linux
[16:41] <valthyx> alright, thank you
[16:41] <jasonmsp> hey all..  Is there anyway to force the left sidebar to hide in ubuntu 11.04.  It seems to want to stay visible on all my workspaces?
[16:43] <nothingspecial> jasonmsp: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[16:43] <jasonmsp> nothingspecial: thanks
[16:44] <Trond--> how do i get ubuntu to show my 3 internal hdd in /media ?
[16:44] <Trond--> permanent
[16:44] <kroq-gar78> Trond--: use fstab
[16:44] <edbian> Trond--: make entires for each hdd in /etc/fstab
[16:44] <kroq-gar78> Trond--: doesnt it automant

[16:45] <zykotick9> kroq-gar78, internal drives aren't ususally automounted
[16:45] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: interesting.... I only have 1 so I don't know :P
[16:46] <lambda_x> i need sun-java6, how can I install it
[16:46] <StayInSkool> oh gawrsh. i know what it is Dr_Willis
[16:46] <zykotick9> !java | lambda_x
[16:46] <StayInSkool> the file is a symlink. i guess ubuntu doesn't resolve HFS+'s symlinks properly?
[16:46] <scarleo> How can I do a rm but removing everything that DOESN'T match i.e. *.tar?
[16:47] <StayInSkool> oh it does. but of course it points to / which is no longer the OS X install
[16:47] <StayInSkool> i'm a dummy
[16:48] <fr4fr> help, linux ate all my memory!! we actually it is in cache, free, should i worry or do anything special?
[16:48] <lambda_x> zykotick9: tyvm
[16:49] <jasonmsp> Where is the setting in compizconfig-settings-manager to force hide the side menu?
[16:49] <kroq-gar78> jasonmsp: side menu in unity?
[16:50] <jasonmsp> kroq-gar78: The sidebar.  Yes I just installed the compizconfig-settings-manager and im trying to find what will force hide the sidebar.
[16:51] <auk> flash is currently broken in the repos?
[16:51] <kroq-gar78> jasonmsp: look up "confity" on google. I prefer it to ccsm when dealing with unity.
[16:51] <auk> oh i should be in the +1 channel sorry
[16:51] <sivik> I install ubuntu without any issues but then during the reboot, grub complains about not being able to find a uuid, what causes that?
[16:51] <kroq-gar78> jasonmsp: search "unity" in ccsm

[16:53] <Guest71158> hail !!
[16:53] <Abhijit> kroq-gar78, :-p
[16:53] <kroq-gar78> Abhijit: >:(
[16:54] <kroq-gar78> thangavel: which type of fs
[16:54] <tensorpudding> thangavel: gparted can't do that
[16:54] <theadmin> thangavel: Testdisk may be able to.
[16:54] <brontosaurusrex> is there an ubuntish version of truecrypt?
[16:54] <kroq-gar78> brontosaurusrex: trucrypt isn't packaged for ubuntu. you have to get it from truecrypt.org
[16:54] <brontosaurusrex> or similar?
[16:54] <thangavel> tensorpudding..yes..i downloaded it..but don't know how to work wit tht..tried all possibilities..but no use
[16:54] <coz_> thangavel,  ah ok,, I may not be able to help because I have to go to work in just a bit,, however,, dont get frustrated, please,, if people dont know they generally dont respond to a question,, also ,, if no answer comes about here at this time,, also try the ##linux channel
[16:54] <brontosaurusrex> kroq-gar78, i mean a similar app?
[16:54] <kroq-gar78> bronto: get te linux version and install
[16:54] <DrMax> Nvidia driver activated but not currently in use ? what went wrong? (it's a fresh install 11.04+GT520)

[16:54] <kroq-gar78> brontosaurusrex: as in differnt frontend?
[16:55] <tensorpudding> thangavel: how is it corrupted?
[16:55] <tensorpudding> what fs type is it?
[16:55] <zykotick9> DrMax, that's just a reporting bug - does you 3d work?
[16:55] <zykotick9> s/you/your/
[16:55] <nothingspecial> scarleo: shopt -s extglob; rm !(*.tar)
[16:55] <brontosaurusrex> kroq-gar78, i meant as in something in default ubuntu repos
[16:56] <DrMax> zykotick9 : somewhat. But I also have partial resolution (something like 480i instead of 1080i)
[16:56] <IAmNotThatGuy> tensorpudding, I am pinging him in PM as I know his native language =]
[16:56] <kroq-gar78> brontosaurusrex: that does same functionality as well as truecrypt? If it did, it would probably be just as well known as truecrypt. Sorry, but I don't think there is :(
[16:56] <zykotick9> DrMax, open nvidia-settings, does it say it's using the nvidia driver?
[16:56] <Arney> Dose anyone know what "-/var/log" means in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf some commands have -/var while other have /var
[16:56] <larsselavy>  Hey, i'm looking for a wordpress plugin which permit me to add an agenda with the events i organize to my blog... Anyone has an idea?
[16:57] <Abhijit> larsselavy, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:57] <ikonia> larsselavy: try #wordpress
[16:57] <Corey> larsselavy: Or #wordpress
[16:57] <thangavel> tensorpudding,,accidentally removed from system while copying
[16:57] <sivik> larsselavy, check the wordpress channel
[16:58] <thangavel> tensorpudding..tht is a phone memory card
[16:58] <bobstew> Hi all\
[16:58] <thangavel> i tried gpartd
[16:58] <brontosaurusrex> larsselavy, calendar of some sort?
[16:58] <bobstew> I want to install Ubuntu on a MacBook Air
[16:58] <thangavel> tensorpudding...i tried gpartd
[16:58] <bobstew> How to do
[16:58] <tensorpudding> thangavel: tried it how
[16:58] <Arney> Can anyone decrytp this rsyslog.cong line [ *.*;auth,authpriv.none          -/var/log/syslog ]
[16:59] <ikonia> Arney: what about it
[16:59] <thangavel> tensorpudding..actually i'm not comfortable wit tht....tried to format then delete too..none helps...
[16:59] <Arney> Im trying to send sshd messages from auth.log to sshd.log
[16:59] <tensorpudding> thangavel: wait, you tried to format?
[16:59] <tensorpudding> thangavel: that would have deleted all the data
[16:59] <thangavel> tensorpudding..yes
[16:59] <llutz> Arney: nothing of those facilities" *.*;auth,authpriv.none  " will be logged to /avr/log/syslog
[16:59] <ikonia> Arney: that already happens
[16:59] <Arney> ikonia: its just that the format for the config is bonkers... and the documentation couldn't be skimmer.
[17:00] <DrMax> zykotick9 : where does it say it? it says 270.41.06 as the version, but not that it's actually in use
[17:00] <kroq-gar78> thangavel: then you won't really have a chance at recovery...
[17:00] <ikonia> Arney: sorry, I missunderstood what you where trying to do
[17:00] <tensorpudding> thangavel: makes it very unlikely that you can recover data
[17:00] <thangavel> tensorpudding....now i'm not able to copy anything into tht
[17:00] <thangavel> tensorpudding..i want a clean disk
[17:00] <kroq-gar78> oh
[17:00] <Arney> ikonia! That makes sense though... i need to look deeper, thanks!
[17:00] <thangavel> tensorpudding..i don't want any of my existing data
[17:01] <DrMax> zykotick9 : it's the proprietary app-thingie that says the driver is activated but not currently in use
[17:01] <ikonia> Arney you just want authpriv.* /var/log/sshd.log
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> DrMax:  that app has been known to be wrong. and say they are not in use.. when they are.
[17:01] <zykotick9> DrMax, i'd guess that is the driver you're using.  To definitively tell what driver you are using you can run "lspci -vnvn" find the VGA section and see "kernel driver in use" which will say nvidia
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> DrMax:  run the nvidia-settings tool and see what it says
[17:01] <StayInSkool> while i'm here might as well ask..
[17:02] <StayInSkool> in the Unity search box, is there any way to make it select the first search result by default?
[17:02] <StayInSkool> it's kind of annoying when you have only one search result to still have to press down/right to select it
[17:02] <llutz> Arney: followed by "authpriv.*  ~" to prevent double-logging
[17:02] <thangavel> tensorpudding..all options r invisible in tht..only the create partion table was visible..so tried tht..after tht too.nothing else was visible...don't know wht to do?????????//
[17:02] <tensorpudding> thangavel: you need to format the partition
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> StayInSkool:  i find the whole way it seraches annoying. :)
[17:03] <thangavel> tensorpudding..yes
[17:03] <kroq-gar78> thangavel: make sure it's linux-supported well (ext3&4)
[17:03] <StayInSkool> Dr_Willis: I won't get into that :P. I just need it to select the result for now
[17:03] <theadmin> StayInSkool: That's not really a solution, but there's a great app search/launch tool called Launchy, see http://launchy.net
[17:03] <Arney> llutz: tried it... restarted the rsyslog service and connected to my ssh server... auth.log shows the stuff, sshd.log doesn't
[17:03] <thangavel> tensorpudding: how to check tht??
[17:04] <DrMax> Dr_Willis , zykotick9 : ok, there's nvidia-current, nouveau, nvidiafb
[17:04] <kroq-gar78> thangavel: if you want to make sure it's ext3/4, go to GParted and make sure it says ext3/4 and not ntfs or anything
[17:04] <DrMax> how come nouveau is there?
[17:04] <Arney> llutz: my sshd uses the AUTH facility to log, I'll try that... but I just want SSHD tagged messages to go into sshd.
[17:04] <thangavel> tensorpudding: it is fat16
[17:04] <tensorpudding> thangavel: i forget exactly how
[17:05] <llutz> Arney: then you have to change sshds log-facility
[17:05] <Duolos> Is there any way to increase the "maximum" volume in linux?  I'm certain my laptop can produce more than a loud whisper.
[17:05] <Arney> llutz: to what?
[17:05] <zykotick9> DrMax, you could blacklist nouveau if you wanted, probably won't make any difference however
[17:05] <kroq-gar78> Duolos: go to sound preferences and boost it
[17:05] <Arney> llutz: can I make one up out of thin air... say SSHDROCKS
[17:05] <kroq-gar78> Duolos: it can go beyond 100%
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> the nvidia drivers are uspposed to blacklist it.
[17:05] <thangavel> tensorpudding: the filesystem is fat16
[17:06] <DrMax> ok, so now the only problem I have is that the display seems to be in "hdmi 480i"
[17:06] <Duolos> kroq-gar78: Through alsamixer it has a limit
[17:06] <DrMax> instead of the native resolution of the screen at 1900x1200
[17:06] <llutz> Arney: local7 for example
[17:06] <kroq-gar78> Duolos: oh, sorry
[17:06] <DrMax> but ... I seem to have ~1080i of vertical resolution, with a window of ~1700 pixels
[17:06] <DrMax> it's messed up
[17:08] <tensorpudding> thangavel: right-click the partition, go to Format To, and choose the right filesystem
[17:08] <zykotick9> DrMax, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?  Just checking.
[17:09] <DrMax> yes, I do
[17:10] <zykotick9> DrMax, good.  Just making sure.
[17:10] <DrMax> it was created by the nvidia-control-thingie
[17:11] <thangavel> tensorpudding: i did tht..wht next??

[17:14] <Arney> llutz: rsyslog is quite powerful, but sooo slimly documented... must be new to narwhal

[17:20] <abou-mocro> hello everyone
[17:20] <zen933k> Heyo
[17:20] <abou-mocro> i'm now using lubuntu on virtual box
[17:20] <abou-mocro> in ubntu :P
[17:23] <tim167> hi, trying to boot from Live CD, but i get "error: unknown filesystem" and "grub rescue>_" propmt on the second line, can anyone help?
[17:23] <KM0201> tim167: u get that on the live cd?
[17:23] <zykotick9> KM0201, livecd's don't use grub, so no
[17:23] <tim167> KM0201: yes, as far as i know...
[17:23] <KM0201> zykotick9: thats my point... (thus why i questioned what he said)
[17:24] <KM0201> tim167: read what zykotick9 said, the live cd does not have grub, so you're not booting the live cd.. what are you trying to accomplish w/ the live cd?
[17:24] <tim167> i select the "optical disk" to boot from, by pressing F9 at boot time...
[17:25] <tony_> do not try ubuntu 10.04 not evan kidding
[17:25] <KM0201> tim167: first thought, is that th edisk isn't burned properly, and it's skipping it, and going to the next boot device (which is your hard drive) and for some reason, you'r egetting grub errors there.
[17:25] <domedagen> johnzorn: I don't remember how but i've done it before. May I ask why you want to stay with 10.10?
[17:25] <KM0201> tony_: lol, and why is that?
[17:25] <tim167> hmm, so for some reason this machine doesn't even try to boot from the CD...?strange because before it did...
[17:25] <KM0201> tim167: yeah, the grub error, is coming from your hard drive, did you delete a previous linux install or something?
[17:25] <tony_> it froze my computer and crashed it took like 30 min to boot lol
[17:26] <domedagen> johnzorn: You do know that it is simple to switch to Gnome from Unity?
[17:26] <tim167> KM0201: the problem is indeed that it won't boot from the live CD, but the CD should be ok, i used it before...
[17:27] <KM0201> tim167: i understand that, i just assumed since you're getting a grub error, you're trying to fix a broken ubuntu install.. my suggestion, re-burn the cd
[17:27] <tony_> i got the live cd to boot and install but after i rebooted it froze up
[17:27] <whatgivesdude> I am trying to install Ubuntu on an EEE 901 but it only has 4gig of space what do I do to get Ubuntu to install?
[17:28] <KM0201> tony_: so thats your reason that nobody should try 10.04?..lol
[17:28] <whatgivesdude> there is no way it needs 4.4g
[17:28] <whatgivesdude> the iso is only 700mb
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> whatgivesdude:  you could try lubuntu.  i guess..
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> you got one of those 4gb sdds ?
[17:28] <whatgivesdude> but the dude wants 11.04
[17:28] <whatgivesdude> im fixing it for someone
[17:28] <whatgivesdude> he wants 11.04
[17:28] <tony_> yah kinda lol its bad for netbooks thats for shur
[17:29] <whatgivesdude> dont make sense for the ISO to be 700mb and say it needs 4.4g
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> if it dont fit.. it wont fit.. you could install to a flash drive, and try to trim it down, then move it over.
[17:29] <whatgivesdude> a lie is a lie is a lie
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> tony_:  you expect the iso to be 4gb?
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> go read the min sys requireents?
[17:29] <whatgivesdude> no but it doesnt need 4.4g to install if the iso is 700mb
[17:29] <johnzorn> domedagen, I only have laptops and read that 11.04 is a battery life killer
[17:30] <tony_> what do u mean?
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> whatgivesdude:   try installing and see.. I recall doing a full install to a 4gb.. but that left like a few 100mb for ussage
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> whatgivesdude:  dont forget about the swap partition also
[17:31] <whatgivesdude> forget it this is a fail distro

[17:31] <tony_> dose any body know a way to get linux on a pocket pc
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> a pocket pc being what eactly?
[17:32] <tony_> windows mobile device
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> if its running windows ce - i would doubt if its gong to be possible,.
[17:33] <tony_> yah it has windows ce 2003
[17:33] <tommie-lie> tony_: there are some HTC devices I know of that Linux has been ported to
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> unless you check out google and see if anyone has hacked that specific device.
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> The ram will be very limitd. as will the disk space..
[17:34] <skim1776> why is wakeups number is so huge? (powertop statistics)
[17:34] <tommie-lie> tony_: don't know about others... have a look at xda-developers.com (org, net, don't remember) and look at the surroundings of linwizard (Linux on HTC Wizard)
[17:34] <ninjaaron> It might be possible with a minimal install or a lighter distro such as Arch or Gentoo.

[17:39] <_Rui_> Hello, my system is having some trouble detecting an external LCD. It detects it as a CRT and only allows a resolution of 1024x768 when its a FullHD monitor. My graphics card is an NVidia (I'm using the NVidia proprietary drivers)and a few weeks ago I didn't have this problem. I'm on a fresh install and the problem persists. Is this a common issue? How can it be fixed?
[17:39] <TL1> should i delete 0ad repository
[17:39] <TL1> im on lucid
[17:39] <zykotick9> _Rui_, wow trying #debian 1st then #ubuntu - that's rare
[17:39] <skim1776> Rui, I also have 2 graphic cards and one of them is Nvidia, do you have problems with battery life?
[17:39] <sum1nil> hi all
[17:40] <ninjaaron> tony_:   If you want to remain a super user, you can type  "su,"
[17:40] <sum1nil> how does one check their locale settings?
[17:40] <tony_> supper user forever no sudo neede again
[17:40] <skim1776> it's not recommended
[17:40] <zykotick9> tony_, don't
[17:40] <oCean> cs /o
[17:40] <tony_> y?
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> tony_:  shall we just give you a hammer now to smash your pc with?
[17:41] <tony_> yes
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> learn to use sudo properly as needed...
[17:41] <ninjaaron> tony_: it only lasts for that terminal or tty session.
[17:41] <domedagen> sum1nil: Locale settings?
[17:41] <tony_> o u cant change it so u dont need sudo any more
[17:41] <skim1776> please, I'm crazy with this problem - battery life with ubuntu 11.04
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> tony_:  you mean you wan tto use su or what exactly........
[17:42] <sum1nil> yes it is a perl error; trying to set up a chroot environment
[17:42] <sum1nil> perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
[17:42] <tony_> never mind
[17:42] <ninjaaron> tony_:  however, it is possible to log in as root.  This is not advisable at all, but if you really want to know how to destroy your system, I will tell you how to do this in Ubuntu if it is really what you want.
[17:43] <tony_> yah
[17:43] <tony_> tell me
[17:43] <tony_> lol
[17:43] <Dr_Willis> tony_:  unless you realy understand how linux and root works.. You should use sudo as needed...
[17:43] <domedagen> Anyone uses Kdevelop here?
[17:43] <w30> _Rui_, my laptop has a hardware button for CRT; Does your computer have abutton or perhaps a bios setting for the external monitor?
[17:43] <ninjaaron> tony: I'm not suggesting you do this, but here it is:
[17:43] <oCean> ninjaaron: don't
[17:44] <oCean> tony_: this channel is not going to advise you this particular thing. You can use sudo
[17:44] <Dr_Willis> tony_:  http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[17:44] <Dr_Willis> hes not even sure what hes asking.. :)
[17:45] <ninjaaron> Come on now, there is such a thing as freedom of information.  He has the warning, and he's free to do what he likes with his own system.
[17:45] <oCean> ninjaaron: this has nothing to do with freedom. It's about the support this channel can give. Please drop the discussion
[17:46] <ninjaaron> Is it allowed to tell in a private channel?
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> Perhaps if he would clarify his exact needs...  but untill then. the url i gave - has some decent info on  usssage of sudo and root shells in ubuntu.
[17:46] <oCean> ninjaaron: and then you're going to be 24x7 around to fix whatever he's might break?
[17:47] <ninjaaron> well, no.
[17:47] <ninjaaron> I see your point.
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> :)
[17:48] <maujhsn> I am trying to set my GPG Key as my default key by entering this line in your ~/.bashrc.
[17:48] <maujhsn> What is the command to grant me permission
[17:48] <maujhsn> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ~/.bashrc
[17:48] <maujhsn> bash: /home/ubuntu/.bashrc: Permission denied
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> theres more to sudo then  'some annoying command you type to get root access' also.  but most of its other fetures are rarely needed by common desktop users
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  you normally dont run the .bashrc
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  its ran by the shell on login.
[17:48] <zykotick9> maujhsn, you're trying to execute ~/.bashrc - thus the permission denied
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  its a text file you can EDIT if you wan tto add commands to it
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> gedit .bashrc
[17:49] <tony_> i know onw that will let u go thrugh every fiel u have nautilus
[17:49] <Jimmio> Hey all. My USB audio device is shown in the sound preferences, yet it's not available as an input device. What could be the issue? I kind of need it. (M-Audio Fast Track Pro)
[17:50] <jpds> maujhsn: You're looking for: source ~/.bashrc
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  are you wanting to RUN the file? or edit the file?
[17:50] <maujhsn> Dr_Willis take a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto half way down the page!
[17:51] <tony_> is there a way to run windows fiels without wine?
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> tony_:  depends on the file i imagine.. most likely.. no
[17:51] <Jimmio> tony_: If you mean executables, no.
[17:51] <brandon> Hello, how do I format a USB Flash disk in Ubuntu?
[17:52] <tony_> ok and i tryed ti get synce to work with my pda and it dosent
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn: 'by entering this line in your ~/.bashrc.'   [17:52] <jpds> maujhsn: Like I said: "source ~/.bashrc"
[17:52] <zykotick9> brandon, the same way you format anything else, there are several option available to you
[17:52] <xangua> brandon: right clic-format; you can also do it with gparted
[17:53] <brandon> zykotick9, What options are available to me?
[17:53] <brandon> xangua, I can't find it when I right click.
[17:53] <maujhsn> Dr_Willis  Why do I feel that a sudo should be entered first?
[17:53] <zykotick9> brandon, gparted is probably what you are looking for.  I'd personally use fdisk then mkfs - but you probably want MS formatting.
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  for editing your own USERS .bashrc? its not...
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  sudo is for doing things to the whole system/system wide..
[17:54] <brandon> Okay, thank you both. I shall go try that right now. :)
[17:54] <zykotick9> maujhsn, DON'T use sudo - or the ownership will be wrong!
[17:55] <syrinx_priest> Hi all.  Has anyone been able to get Thunderbird to work with the Message Indicator in Natty?
[17:55] <ninjaaron> So anyway, I just discovered this IRC thing, and I'm trying to figure out how to register with freenode.  The wiki says something about a "server tab," but I don't know what that is.  I'm in empathy
[17:55] <edwardthefma> hey can some 1 help me get chntpw
[17:55] <xangua> syrinx_priest: there are some addons for that on the thunderbird addon site
[17:55] <zykotick9> ninjaaron, i'd recommend getting a real IRC client xchat is popular for GUI, or irssi for cli
[17:55] <ikonia> ninjaaron: if you join #freenode and ask, they will help you
[17:56] <tony_> well c u peps later i have to go work  :P
[17:56] <maujhsn> zykotick9 I am the owner!
[17:56] <zykotick9> maujhsn, that's good - keep it that way, don't use sudo
[17:56] <syrinx_priest> xangua: Thanks, I'll check em.
[17:56] <ninjaaron> ok, will do. Thanks
[17:56] <photon> how can I update my kernel without upgrading to a newer Ubuntu version? I'm on 10.04.
[17:56] <mah454> How can I enable Xorg for listen TCP ? (ubuntu-11.04)
[17:57] <zykotick9> photon, do you have a reason to upgrade the kernel?
[17:57] <mah454> How can I enable or configure Xorg for listen TCP ? (ubuntu-11.04)
[17:57] <kryl> hi
[17:57] <photon> zykotick9: yes, obviously, otherwise I would not ask.
[17:58] <photon> zykotick9: are there problems to be expected when doing what I want to do?
[17:58] <hatch> (10.04) how do I add programs to the quick launch panel at the top that aren't in the 'add to panel' list ?
[17:58] <zykotick9> mah454, "xhost +" will disable all security (not recommended), i don't know what the proper procedure is.
[17:58] <photon> hatch: there's the custom application launcher option.
[17:58] <kryl> I broke my system by trying to move partition. Actually I can read some files but some binary seems to be corrupted while the booting sequence. Do you know a way to repair the system via livecd. or something who will check binary for size or other and try to re-install them ?
[17:58] <photon> hatch: this should do what you want.
[17:58] <brandon> zykotick9: xangua: GParted worked perfectly, thank you my friends. Have a nice day. :)
[17:58] <hatch> ahh there it is thanks photon
[17:59] <photon> you're welcome
[17:59] <yeats> !kernel | photon
[17:59] <kryl> I use reiserfs partition and used gparted to move it while it crashed
[18:00] <zykotick9> kryl, (old joke follows) why are you using murderfs?  Doesn't make sense to me personally.
[18:01] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: lol
[18:01] <photon> yeats: ah thanks. is there any reason why the automatic updates will only provide minor kernel updates, but not major ones? e.g. it will update from 2.6.32-31 to 2.6.32-33, but NOT from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33.
[18:01] <kroq-gar78> photon: probably stability
[18:01] <user332> i just install ubuntu 11.4 and the new environment  is not appeared. i mean im still using the 10.04 environment. what can i do to change it?
[18:01] <thangavel> had a good time..feeling so good..bye
[18:02] <kryl> because I used it in production since many years without any problems and it doesn't use a lot of true size on hardrive.  tools are very useful to hot resize for mysql snapshot and much more ... nothing to reproach to this fs :)
[18:02] <maujhsn> Dr_Willis, zykotick9, jpds  CAN I PLEASE GET A CONSENSUS  THAT THIS IS THE TERMINAL COMMAND TO RUN "source ~/.bashrc" THEN RUN "export GPGKEY=D8FCXXXXXXX"
[18:02] <Trond--> Is it possible to rename the boot ssd?
[18:02] <odsel> photon: every distro will keep the major version for its life time. upgrade distro will upgrade major version
[18:02] <kryl> the problem is not reiserfs, it's gparted who crashed since moving system partition :)
[18:02] <yeats> photon: that's apparently ubuntu policy, to stay on one major version per release (haven't seen that written down anywhere - I'm inferring from experience ;-) )
[18:03] <zykotick9> Trond--, do you mean LABEL?  Are you using EXT?
[18:03] <skim1776> who uses cent os?
[18:03] <photon> Alright. Thanks guys.
[18:03] <oCean> skim1776: has nothing to do with #ubuntu channel
[18:03] <ikonia> skim1776: the people in #centos do
[18:03] <kroq-gar78> user332: do you mean the same environment or is it REALLY 10.04? If you upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04, you had to do 10.04 -> 10.10 then -> 11.04
[18:03] <skim1776> sorry, I meant "who uses 11.04"?
[18:03] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: lol
[18:04] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: and I use 11.04 64bit
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> mansson_:  thats actually 2 commands
[18:04] <skim1776> is it a common problem for 11.04(32-bit in my case) that battery life is poor?
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  thats actually 2 commands..
[18:04] <ikonia> skim1776: there is some bugs for it
[18:04] <skim1776> is there anything to do with it?
[18:04] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: there is a power issue in the 2.6.38 kernel
[18:04] <ikonia> skim1776: bugs are being worked on
[18:05] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: lemme find the link to solution....
 no it is 11.04 but when the install finish it says that my drivers are not install ant it should use the traditional environment
[18:05] <zykotick9> user332, what graphics card are you using?  "lspci | grep -i vga" if you aren't sure.
[18:06] <kroq-gar78> user332: maybe your computer isn't powerful enough or sometin. could be driver issue. I'm not the right guy to ask (I know nothin about drivers, etc.)
[18:06] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: here's the link: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2638_aspm&num=1
[18:06] <skim1776> kroq-gar78, who's lemme?
[18:06] <skim1776> kroq-gar78 thanks, did it help you?
, nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9600M GT]
[18:06] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: lemme="let me"
[18:06] <zykotick9> skim1776, "lemme" is "let me"
[18:07] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: not really sure if it did help me. The comments on that post seemed liked it helped other ppl.
[18:07] <zykotick9> user332, in Additional Drivers (or whatever it's called these days) do you see an option for installing an nvidia driver?
[18:07] <skim1776> then how do you work with this problem?
[18:07] <maujhsn> Dr_Willis YES BUT THE FIRST COMMAND IS THE IMPORTANT.
[18:08] <kroq-gar78> !caps | maujhsn
[18:08] <ThOr101> Noob question, sorry: How do I change the app that starts when I insert a CD-ROM, I made a bad decision, and can't figure out how to change it back.
[18:08] <zykotick9> !caps > maujhsn
[18:08] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: what do you mean?
[18:08] <user332> zykotick9, im now activating the nvidia
[18:08] <skim1776> kroq-gar78 how do you work with poor battery life?
[18:08] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: Do you mean "how do I resolve it"?
[18:08] <zykotick9> user332, that should solve you issue
[18:08] <zykotick9> s/you/your/
[18:09] <ThOr101> Using gnome if that makes a difference.
[18:09] <skim1776> I meant "how do you live with that"
[18:09] <ThOr101> got it, it's in nautilus
[18:09] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: I work fine with that patch and otherwise
[18:09] <user332> zykotick9, thank for the help
[18:09] <maujhsn> zykotickSorry!
[18:10] <zykotick9> !tab > maujhsn
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  the first command just rereads the  .bashrc and any commands in it...
[18:11] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: also, the battery on my computer is pretty good - 2 hours of relatively high usage, and 5-7 hours idle time...
[18:13] <maujhsn> Dr_Willis Sorry for shouting!  "~/.bashrc"!  Correct yes or no?
[18:14] <zykotick9> maujhsn, no - "source ~/.bashrc"
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:  correct for what?   This is all rather basic bash stuff. You are seeming to get confused about...
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> maujhsn:   the command 'source' rereads the files contents..  'source foo' can be abrevveated as ' . foo' also
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> its just saveing you from opening anew terminal to get the new .bashrc changes to take effect
[18:15] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis, .bashrc isn't executable
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> zykotick9:  it dosent need to be for source...
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> source reads the file as if you entered all the commands into the current shell
[18:15] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis, true - but you can't "./bashrc"
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> I never said you could that i saw......
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> or needed to
[18:16] <maujhsn> Dr_Willis First time using this command so yes it has caused some confusion for me!
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> that would most likely spawn stuff to the child shell also..
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> when in doubt. go spend an hr or 2 reading bash tutorials
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> that guide is a bit annoying in how they ar formating what shell commands are used and how they differ from the text output, and what to enter in a file..
[18:19] <danileigh79> Can you install Plasma on top of GNOME and chose between them at start up?
[18:19] <kroq-gar78> danileigh: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:19] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: will that reninstall the whole ubuntu OS, or just the desktop enviroment?
[18:20] <OerHeks> danileigh79, yes, you can install Kubuntu & choose GDM at login.
[18:20] <kroq-gar78> danileigh: make sure it doesn't remove anything when it does install. It really shouldn't uninstall anything. It'll be a big download
[18:20] <kroq-gar78> !info kubuntu-desktop | danileigh79
[18:21] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: kk, by the way, from LA?
[18:21] <kroq-gar78> danileigh79, no...
[18:22] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: sorry, lol, thought you were as KROQ is a popular Los Angeles radio station
[18:22] <chisholm> is there a channel specifically for talk about running boxee on ubuntu?
[18:22] <kroq-gar78> danileigh79, lol didn't know that. I'm "kroq-gar" from warhammer (tabletop game)
[18:22] <moes> When I installed Lucid I ended up with my login and root password being the same..I tried to change using sudo passwd but they are still the same...What should I use to change root.
[18:22] <bullgard4_> At a quiz I won a USB thumb drive. GParted shows an exclamation mark next to the partition designator /dev/sdb1. Information about /dev/sdb1: "Can't open /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory. Cant initialize 'H.' mlabel: Cannot initialize drive.' What does 'H.' for?
[18:23] <Guest71158> i have arouter with busybox
[18:23] <danileigh79> moes: tried the password option in system admin menu?
[18:23] <Guest71158> i need to change the ip_conntrack_max
[18:23] <Guest71158> any infos ?
[18:23] <bullgard4_> s/does/does stand/
[18:23] <chisholm> moes: what do you mean by your root password? the one that is asked for when using sudo?
[18:23] <danileigh79> moes: er, system, pref, passwords
[18:23] <MoL0ToV> one question: howto redownload /etc/grub.d directory?
[18:23] <MoL0ToV>  i tryed to do a apt-get purge grub and then apt-get install grub
[18:23] <MoL0ToV>  but don't work..
[18:24] <danileigh79> MoL0ToV: try it while booting fom live usb or cd
[18:24] <zykotick9> MoL0ToV, try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub"
[18:25] <MoL0ToV> danileigh79, the problem is not to be able to boot
[18:25] <moes> chisholm, Yes the one when opening synaptic and or using sudo
[18:25] <danileigh79> MoL0ToV: what zykotick9 said
[18:26] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: holy crap you weren't kidding about it being big, 700mb...
[18:26] <chisholm> moes: typically the sudo password is the same as the user's password, I'm not sure if there is a way to set two passwords so that you have to enter something different when asking for heightened privildges
[18:26] <kroq-gar78> danileigh79, lol yeah....
[18:27] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: there isnn't a way to only dl Plasma itself??
[18:27] <kroq-gar78> danileigh79, what's Plasma? I only know KDE
[18:28] <skim1776> Plasma is KDE?
[18:28] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: it's trying to dl a whole Kubuntu install from scratch, Plasma is on the "blue" desktop gui... still uses all of the normal ubuntu stuff already installed
[18:28] <MoL0ToV> zykotick9, no, /etc/grub.d/XX_os_prober is not present. howto replace all these files?
[18:28] <kroq-gar78> danileigh79, "sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop"?
[18:28] <chisholm> moes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1356669
[18:28] <skim1776> why do you use apt-get but not aptitude?
[18:29] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: , k will try that
[18:29] <Julian_> how do I update using terminal
[18:30] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: IDK. Just some tutorials had it in the beginning of my ubuntu-ized life and now I just use apt-get. I don't even think oneiric has aptitude, but onyl has apt
[18:30] <zykotick9> Julian_, "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[18:30] <kroq-gar78> Julian_: update like from 10.04 to 10.10, etc. or a few packages?
[18:30] <KenyanLyrics> k
[18:30] <Julian_> 10.10 to 11
[18:30] <skim1776> kroq-gar78, I just heard that aptitude is improved version of apt-get
[18:30] <zykotick9> skim1776, it is
[18:30] <kroq-gar78> skim1776: interesting.
[18:30] <skim1776> but everyone still uses apt-get
[18:31] <skim1776> idk why
[18:31] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: then why did they remove it from 11.10?
[18:31] <zykotick9> skim1776, ubuntu's choice
[18:31] <zykotick9> kroq-gar78, ^
[18:31] <kroq-gar78> zykotick9: why? if its better why stick with "worse" stuff?
[18:31] <skim1776> zykotick9, where is apt used except for ubuntu?
[18:32] <kroq-gar78> skim1776, debian?
[18:32] <surge> is jewbuntu real or fake?
[18:32] <zykotick9> kroq-gar78, i couldn't tell you?  doesn't make sense to me
[18:32] <danileigh79> kroq-gar78: still pretty big, almost 300mb, how can I increase the size of my Ubuntu partition without damaging any data from my WinXP partition?
[18:32] <MoL0ToV> zykotick9, i remember that exist a command to do a program config
[18:32] <skim1776> aptitude and apt-... are both interfaces of dpkg, but apt-... resolves dependencies problems worse and doesn't handle search
[18:33] <kroq-gar78> danileigh79, not too sure. Try booting into XP and then resizing ur ntfs paritition from there. In ubuntu, enlarge your ext fs
[18:33] <kasi> is it possible to use a sata3 drive with a sata2 connector?
[18:33] <MoL0ToV> what is the command? apt-get pkg-config, or something
[18:33] <kroq-gar78> MoL0ToV, what are you trying to do?
[18:33] <maujhsn> Dr_Willis The cause for all the confusion earlier was this issue: "The program 'gpg-agent' is currently not installed."!
[18:33] <hatch> is there a command I can do to force ubuntu to create a file system index so that 'find' doesn't take so long?
[18:33] <Phase> I'm looking for a way to cap the download rate of a streaming youtube video? On our crappy internet connection one youtube video thats longer than a minute or so generally makes everything lag until it's done loading.. any ideas?
[18:33] <kasi> The connector is the same, I mean is it possible to use a sata 3 drive with a sata 2 chipset?
[18:33] <mbrigdan> Hey, is anyone else getting "Warning: The following packages cannot be authenticated!" when they try to install anything with apt? (I'm on 64 bit natty)
[18:34] <Julian_> i just ran "sudo apt-get upgrade" and it says a package needs to be reinstalled, how do i do that
[18:34] <chisholm> kasi: that should be fine
[18:34] <bullgard4_> At a quiz I won a USB thumb drive. GParted shows an exclamation mark next to the partition designator /dev/sdb1. Information about /dev/sdb1: "Can't open /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory. Cant initialize 'H.' mlabel: Cannot initialize drive.' What does 'H.' stand for?
[18:34] <kroq-gar78> Julian_: which ubuntu version do you habve and which package will be reinstalled?
[18:34] <kasi> chisholm: can I test which chipset I have in linux? I can use 'hdparm -t' to see the throughput.
[18:34] <MoL0ToV> kroq-gar78, i simply want to redownload the files stored in /etc/grub.d/01_os_prober  01_linux... etc : are missing
[18:35] <Julian_> 10.4 caine
[18:35] <kroq-gar78> MoL0ToV, can't you get it from somebody?
[18:35] <chisholm> kasi: I'm not sure on that one
[18:35] <MagicJ> I have a gateway netbook - all works well except - it does not seem to see either the internal microphone nor the microphone jack.  What do I need to add for these
[18:35] <Vidalia> --d

[18:36] <MoL0ToV> kroq-gar78, is possibile to reinstall but i don't remember how...
[18:36] <defunkt> is anyone familiar with likewise-open?
[18:36] <MoL0ToV> if i do a apt-get install <package> also conf are replaced?
[18:36] <kroq-gar78> MoL0ToV, sudo grub-install /dev/sda (replace /dev/sda with whatever your using)
[18:36] <MoL0ToV> i want this
[18:36] <MoL0ToV> kroq-gar78, is not my problem
[18:36] <skim1776> once I entered "apt-get install libnss3-ld" and it deleted half of my programs and network driver
[18:36] <zykotick9> MoL0ToV, try "sudo apt-get --force-confmiss --reinstall install grub"
[18:37] <defunkt> im having a problem with random laptops not authenticating and then later in the day they will... not always the same laptops
[18:37] <MoL0ToV> zykotick9, your option don't exist
[18:38] <MoL0ToV> in my apt-get...
[18:38] <bullgard4_> defunkt: You better descibe precisely what error message you obtain.
[18:38] <defunkt> i dont get an error other than "authentication error" i dont see anything in syslog or messages
[18:38] <defunkt> thats where im getting stumped
[18:38] <defunkt> ive read the admin manuall and follwoed their troubleshooting steps
[18:39] <defunkt> the devices are joined to the dopmain
[18:39] <defunkt> ppingable to the Domain controller
[18:39] <defunkt> and vicaversa
[18:39] <defunkt> everything looks fine in the troubleshooting steps on likewise-open 5.4 admin manual except i cannot search for a domain user
[18:40] <zykotick9> !enter | defunkt
[18:40] <Julian_> i paste bin it here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/671826/plain/
[18:41] <kroq-gar78> Julian_: hmmm.... what happens when you do "sudo apt-get clean" and then re-run "sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:41] <kroq-gar78> "
[18:41] <defunkt> the problem is that its not always the same laptop experienceing the problem.  sometimes the laptop that didnt work an hour ago works fine now. and a laptop that worked great an hour ago doesnt work
[18:42] <Polah> skim1776: Is that -ld or -1d?
[18:42] <Phase> I'm looking for a way to cap the download rate of a streaming youtube video? On our crappy internet connection one youtube video thats longer than a minute or so generally makes everything lag until it's done loading.. any ideas?
[18:42] <zykotick9> MoL0ToV, sorry - perhaps if you find the DEB in /var/cache/apt you can use "dpkg -i --force-confmiss GRUB_FILE.deb"
[18:42] <skim1776> Polah, I guess ld with L(lemonade)
[18:43] <Polah> skim1776: What did you install it for?
[18:43] <skim1776> firefox
[18:43] <MoL0ToV> zykotick9, i try to reinstall grub-pc deps...
[18:43] <skim1776> I removed firefox from ubuntu software center, then I wanted to install firefox 5 with apt-get
[18:43] <kroq-gar78> if I remove "quiet" from  the grub boot option, will ubuntu boot faster?
[18:43] <mbrigdan> Hey, is anyone else getting "Warning: The following packages cannot be authenticated!" when they try to install anything with apt? (I'm on 64 bit natty)
[18:43] <Julian_> i get the samething when i run sudo apt-get clean
[18:44] <ArseneRei> Is any one having terminal refresh issues with natty? Whether it's urxvt or xterm the terminal looks weird and only updates properly when it's not focused.
[18:44] <kroq-gar78> mbrigdan: happened some time ago
[18:44] <do0> Please help ! My cdrom is not working .... when run "eject" command then nothing happening. There is the output from "eject -v" command : http://pastebin.com/VmxeQywH
[18:44] <kroq-gar78> Julian_: sorry then, can
[18:44] <kroq-gar78> 't help you. Someone else who knows more about this can probably help.
[18:44] <mbrigdan> kroq-gar78: is it still happening for you?
[18:45] <Julian_> no problem thanx Kroq-gar78
[18:45] <kroq-gar78> mbrigdan: no, I had to do something with the authentication keys I think. google "ubuntu apt authentication error"
[18:45] <Polah> skim1776: I see libnss3-1d which is to do with networking, I can't find anything for "libnss3-ld" other than some reports that it's deleted things for other people too. I guess the only thing you can do is look at your apt log (/var/log/apt/history.log) and reinstall what was removed.
[18:45] <MoL0ToV> zykotick9, purging and reinstalling grub-commons solved my problem
[18:45] <MoL0ToV> thankyou
[18:45] <kroq-gar78> mbrigdan: I mean "ubuntu apt "Warning: The following packages cannot be authenticated!""
[18:46] <TheEvilPhoenix> kroq-gar78:  can you pastebin the entire message?
[18:46] <mbrigdan> kroq-gar78: alright, google time. Thanks
[18:46] <TheEvilPhoenix> kroq-gar78:  sounds like the PGP keys arent available on your system to authenticate them
[18:46] <Calinou_> hi, I just installed 11.04, but I lost all my files
[18:46] <Calinou_> my home, etc is not there
[18:46] <do0> someone please help me
[18:46] <Calinou_> I didn't replace the 10.04...
[18:46] <Polah> Calinou_: Because you probably formatted your drive.
[18:46] <Calinou_> just, I didn't used the upgrade function because it never works
[18:47] <bullgard4_> do0: It says: "CD-ROM eject command succeeded." So you probably did not load inigtially a CD in your CDROM drive.
[18:47] <mbrigdan> kroq-gar78: Huh, just running an apt-get update fixed it. Weird. Thanks for the help.
[18:47] <Calinou_> didn't seen any checkbox to not format...

[18:48] <Xunubi> Hi all, small problem has me stumped.. My microphone is feeding directly to my speakers instead of to applications like skype for example (if i speak into my mic, it plays out of my speakers)
[18:50] <bullgard4_> Xunubi: Skype is a proprietary program. I cannot help you.
[18:50] <do0> bullgard4, Should it not open the cdrom ..... ? If i even load any cd/dvd and try to eject then it ejecting and at least i need to reboot for ejecting it....
[18:50] <do0> dunno what is problem (first time)
[18:51] <Xunubi> bullgard4: Skype is just one example, its the same with sound-recorder and all other audio related services, the issue appears to be with linux itself.
[18:51] <zykotick9> do0, lol - i'm having the same problem, i'm actually going to reboot to test.  I see the same "success" message with the -v switch?  BRB.
[18:51] <zykotick9> do0, also the eject button on my cd isn't working?
[18:51] <do0> yeah
[18:52] <bullgard4_> do0: Opening a CDROM means destroying it. --  This cannot be your aim.
[18:52] <rodhash> Hello gusy.. What's the purpose of the symbolic lynk /usr/src/linux? I've some verions of the kernel installed, to which one should it point to? Also, do I really need to have this symbolic link?
[18:52] <kroq-gar78> bullgard4_, so what if skype's proprietary? its in the official partner repos. He said apps LIKE skype.
[18:53] <kroq-gar78> rodhash, do "readlink /usr/src/linux" to find where it points to
[18:53] <do0> bullgard4, Then will i not out the CD from cdrom heh
[18:53] <do0> ?
[18:53] <zykotick9> do0, well, after restart it's working?
[18:54] <rodhash> rodhash@rod-t400:~$ readlink /usr/src/linux
[18:54] <rodhash> linux-3.0
[18:54] <rodhash> But what's the purpose of this symbolic link?? Can I just remove it with no issues to my Ubuntu?
[18:54] <bullgard4_> do0: Do you know what a CD is? Do you know what a CDROM is?
[18:55] <rodhash> Should /usr/src/linux point to source or headers?
[18:55] <kroq-gar78> rodhash, I would think headers. AFAIK Ubuntu doesnt store source on the computer...
[18:55] <do0> zykotick9, no ... I need to be ready to press the the CDROM button before starting the X server(Gui)
[18:56] <do0> bullgard4, any doubt?
[18:56] <zykotick9> do0, i meant for me it's working after restart.
[18:56] <rodhash> I have the source since I've compiled the kernel
[18:56] <zykotick9> do0, personally i last used by cdrom yesterday with KVM, so I'm guessing that's what messed it up on my end.
[18:57] <bullgard4_> rodhash: It points to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32 in Lucid.
[18:57] <bullgard4_> do0: Yes.
[18:58] <do0> zykotick9, What should i do ? bullgard4 OK then i am sorry
[18:58] <zykotick9> do0, sorry i don't know.  best of luck.
[18:59] <do0> zykotick9, thanks
[19:00] <do0> zykotick9, wow eject -T /dev/sr0 command is work perfect
[19:00] <Smilex> if I'm using Wubi, is it possible to still access the data that is on my Windows?
[19:00] <bullgard4_> do0: First you should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM.
[19:00] <zykotick9> do0, "ls -l /dev/cdrom" does it point to sr0?
[19:01] <rodhash> Guys, if I remove the symlink /usr/src/linux, will that affect my system?
[19:01] <do0> zykotick9, yeah "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2011-08-22 18:19 /dev/cdrom -> sr1"
[19:01] <zykotick9> do0, notice the sr1 vs sr0?
[19:01] <yeats> rodhash: why would you want to remove it?
[19:02] <rodhash> yeats: I don't, I just want to understand why I need this symlink
[19:02] <bullgard4_> rodhash: Then some documentation programs will not work properly.
[19:03] <do0> zykotick9, Perhaps i did not understand you.. Googling ... . bullgard4 OK thanks for the link
[19:03] <p3rsist> Hi guys. What's the dpkg to see package directories after installation package
[19:03] <domedagen> anyone here uses KDEVELOP?
[19:03] <yeats> rodhash: I would recommend leaving it alone and doing some research about it to learn how/why kernel symlinks are used
[19:03] <domedagen> !
[19:03] <oldos2er> p3rsist, dpkg -L <package name>
[19:03] <zykotick9> do0, try "eject /dev/sr1" i expect it NOT to work, then try "eject /dev/sr0"
[19:03] <Xunie> Weird, after a while my internet stops working. I can't connect but the rest of my network is unaffected.
[19:03] <TheEvilPhoenix> domedagen:  if you already asked and didnt get an answer, don't repeat yourself.
[19:03] <Xunie> Same subnet btw.
[19:04] <Xunie> Anyhow, dhclient doesn't get an IP address, I deleted all leases and tried again, still nothing.
[19:04] <yeats> !anyone | domedagen
[19:04] <KM0201> Xunie: i've been having that issue the last couple of days.
[19:04] <rodhash> Weird, I have a fresh Ubuntu installed on my VM.. and there's no symlink
[19:04] <do0> zykotick9, First command did not worked but worked "eject /dev/sr0"
[19:04] <zykotick9> do0, so the default cdrom is pointing to the wrong drive - it's pointing to sr1
[19:04] <yeats> rodhash: I don't have a symlink there either, fwiw
[19:05] <oes> Hello !
[19:05] <em> yeats: why do you prefer symlinks
[19:05] <KM0201> Xunie:  usually i disconnect from my wireless network, and then reconnect, and all is ok.. i think i narrowed my problem down this morning though... my router (for some reason).. was trying to call for the same IP address that was assigned to my laptop
[19:05] <do0> i see
[19:05] <bullgard4_> do0: Please read also the chapter "Technology" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive.
[19:05] <yeats> em: I don't - I was just helping rodhash
[19:05] <KM0201> sorry, my NAS. was trying to call for the same IP address as my laptop
[19:06] <do0> zykotick9, How can i fix it please?
[19:06] <em> yeats: but don't you also prefer symlinks?
[19:06] <em> yeats: you prefer hard links?
[19:06] <yeats> em: I'm not sure what you're asking
[19:06] <em> yeats: when you make a link do you tend to use a symbolic link or a hard link?
[19:06] <deltafoss> what is the font name for twitter
[19:06] <yeats> em: symbolic link
[19:06] <zykotick9> do0, "cd /dev", then "sudo rm cdrom" then "sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 cdrom" should work
[19:07] <Xunubi> Could someone possibly give me the name of the default sound mixer for ubuntu 10.04 ? :)
[19:07] <em> yeats: so what is the best explanation for your tendency?
[19:07] <yeats> em: do you have a support question?

[19:08] <do0> zykotick9, Thank you very much for the help. It worked
[19:08] <zykotick9> do0, glad to help
[19:08] <do0> bullgard4, why are you trying to confuse me please?
 KM0201 and it crapped out again.
 BTW, I installed this version of ubuntu ages ago, I updated it everytime.
 Unplugging the cable and plugging it back in again seems to help.
[19:10] <KM0201> Xunie`: bad ethernet cable maybe?  replace it
[19:11] <Bilz> i installed ubuntu 11.04 and the look is completely different. in trying to get to system -> administration etc, how!?
[19:11] <p3rsist> oldos2er, Thanks ;)
[19:12] <chisholm> Bilz: it's at the bottom of the power menu in the top right corner fo the screen
[19:12] <Xunie`> KM0201, dunno dude, I didn't replace the cable. Cables usually break without stressing them.
[19:12] <Xunie`> After a while, I get this in the kern.log:
[19:12] <do0> zykotick9, thanks again
[19:12] <Xunie`> Aug 21 21:09:19 epicurus kernel: [  595.612762] forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0: eth0: link down

[19:12] <do0> bye
[19:13] <KM0201> Xunie`: well there you go... link down.. it's losing its connection, that suggests either your cable, or your NIC.
[19:13] <home> How can I get networking betweeing win7 and ubuntu 10.10?
[19:13] <bullgard4_> Bilz: After having keyed in your username, look a the bottom line of the screen. There is a menu. There please select "Classical Ubuntu".
[19:13] <home> I get an error
[19:13] <home> anyway I Can access my win 7 files?
[19:13] <home> need to transfer them
[19:13] <Bilz> christo_m, cheers
 thanks
[19:13] <Bilz> bullgard4, thanks. getting on that :p
[19:14] <chisholm> home, I heard of some issue with win 7 and 10.10, i didn't try it myself but it is working with 11.04
[19:14] <home> damn
[19:14] <chisholm> home: is there a reason you don't want to use 11.04?
[19:15] <home> Yes
[19:15] <home> I dont want to upgrade
[19:15] <home> might as well get 11.10
[19:15] <chisholm> home: why don't you want to upgrade?
[19:15] <home> Well, I dont like unity for one
[19:15] <home> You know what/
[19:15] <home> I wil lupgrade
[19:15] <chisholm> home: you don't have to use unity
[19:16] <home> all my ppas support 11.04
[19:16] <home> I know
[19:16] <home> lol
[19:16] <FloodBot1> home: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:16] <home> Sorry, FloodBot1
[19:16] <home> Anyways, will upgrade to 11.04, hopefully it does not break XD
[19:16] <chisholm> home: good luck
[19:17] <bullgard4_> At a quiz I won a USB thumb drive. GParted shows an exclamation mark next to the partition designator /dev/sdb1. Information about /dev/sdb1: "Can't open /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory. Cant initialize 'H.' mlabel: Cannot initialize drive.' What does 'H.' stand for?
[19:18] <Xunie`> KM0201, replaced cable, we shall see.
[19:18] <Xunie`> BTW, I've only spent some small time on windows, and there it does not do it.
[19:18] <KM0201> Xunie`: hopefully that works.
[19:18] <Somelauw> Hi, did anyone try terminator?
[19:18] <Xunie`> I forgot to mentioned that.
[19:18] <Parameter> bullgard4, do ls /dev/sdb* in terminal
[19:18] <Xunie`> Somelauw, "I'll be back." or do you mean some other terminator?
[19:18] <KM0201> Xunie`: i dunno, seems t be the only explanation for something randomly dropping like that
[19:18] <Parameter> to see if /dev/sdb1 or any other partitions exist
[19:19] <Somelauw> Xunie`: I mean a terminal emulator.
[19:19] <Xunie`> :P
[19:20] <ikonia> bullgard4_: do you ever read the documentation before asking in this channel ?
[19:20] <Somelauw> I don't know which terminal to pick. I will try terminator.
[19:20] <bullgard4_> Parameter:  '~$ ls /dev/sdb* ; /dev/sdb'
[19:20] <ikonia> bullgard4_: the documentation covers the partition flags, and the gui displaying partition flags
[19:20] <Parameter> bullgard4, /dev/sdb being the output?
[19:20] <bullgard4_> ikonia: Do you ever read a question before you are challenging it?
[19:21] <ikonia> bullgard4_: yes,
[19:21] <Parameter> you can partition it with fdisk
[19:21] <Xunie`> Wrong button! :(
[19:21] <Parameter> sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[19:21] <Parameter> type in m
[19:21] <Parameter> to see the options
[19:21] <ikonia> bullgard4_: research the partition flags
[19:21] <bullgard4_> Parameter: yes.
[19:21] <Parameter> and then you'll see that c creates a new partition
[19:21] <Parameter> (or some other letter)
[19:22] <ikonia> bullgard4_: the "h" is for a "hidden" partition
[19:22] <Parameter> and then you can use mkfs on a partition to create its filesystem
[19:22] <bullgard4_> ikonia: There is no 'h'. There is a 'H.'
[19:22] <ikonia> bullgard4_: h = H
[19:23] <ikonia> bullgard4_: it's the same letter
[19:24] <mongy> you think usb-creator will make a bootable stick from the alternative iso?
[19:25] <ikonia> bullgard4_: the support resource for gparted is on irc.gnome.org #gparted as noted on gparted.sourceforge.net
[19:27] <Somelauw> I have a problems with terminals. For some reason Ctrl+Left  prints D in some applications. This happens both with gnome-terminal and terminator.
[19:30] <Gredeu> anyone using mainline kernel on natty ?
[19:31] <sum1nil> what is the mainline kernel, Gredeu?
[19:31] <Gredeu> its a 3.x linux kernel
[19:31] <yeats> !mainline
[19:31] <sum1nil> o i c
[19:32] <christo_m> Bilz: ??
[19:34] <zykotick9> Somelauw, by "some applications" do you mean vi?  if so, install vim.
[19:35] <etech> Loving Oneiric Alpha 2 - great work!
[19:36] <Somelauw> zykotick9: I mean weechat for example.
[19:36] <Somelauw> vim works always
[19:36] <Mayday> hi
[19:36] <qkslvrwolf> Hello!  I'm trying to get a netgear wna1000m usb wireless adaptor to work with lucid.
[19:36] <w30> etech, so. give us a one line review!!
[19:36] <qkslvrwolf> I've read teh forum here and followed teh instructions
[19:36] <qkslvrwolf> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806839
[19:36] <zykotick9> Somelauw, sorry i haven't heard of that before, the arrow keys in default vi cause the D stuff.  good luck.
[19:37] <qkslvrwolf> lsmod shows the (apparently) correct driver.
[19:37] <Mayday> when i install ubuntu it asked me about partition, what is mount point?
[19:37] <qkslvrwolf> lsusb show the netgear adaptor
[19:37] <Mayday> i set partition and it ask me about mount point (like /, /boot, /home, etc)
[19:37] <qkslvrwolf> but I have no wlan0 in ifconfig.
[19:37] <qkslvrwolf> help?
[19:37] <ikonia> !install | Mayday
[19:38] <Somelauw> Why use vi if there is vim, elvis and gedit anyway?
[19:38] <Mayday> ikonia, just wondering what is mount point
[19:38] <bullgard4_> Parameter: '~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb; ...; This doesn't look like a partition table; This doesn't look like a partition table." Gparted identified this thumb drive as 'File System=fat16' though.
[19:38] <Mayday> could i set it as (/) ?
[19:38] <zykotick9> Mayday, you need / for sure.  A mount point is the location a paritition gets "mounted" to on root (/).
[19:38] <ikonia> Mayday: the document explains it
[19:38] <etech> Xubuntu Oneiric A2 running well on my Dell Mini  9
[19:38] <ikonia> bullgard4_: it probably doesn't have a valid partition table on it
[19:38] <Mayday> if i have Windows on another partition, then i'll be able to create boot-loader, kind of grub, or lilo, right?
[19:38] <Parameter> bullgard4_, I think the same as ikonia
[19:39] <ikonia> Mayday: grub, yes
[19:39] <Parameter> it may not have a pre-existing partition on it
[19:39] <bullgard4_> ikonia: #gparted in irc.gnome.org is pretty empty. There are 3 names listed including me.
[19:39] <home> wow
[19:39] <home> the update
[19:39] <home> is taking
[19:39] <home> too long
[19:39] <FloodBot1> home: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:39] <Mayday> what about swap?
[19:39] <ikonia> bullgard4_: thats the support channel though, there is also a forum and a mailing list
[19:39] <Mayday> i set mount point as (/) but it asked me about swap too
[19:39] <ikonia> Mayday: the document I've linked to explains it
[19:40] <valthyx> guys, how large a swap should be? let's say my ram is 4gb
[19:40] <Mayday> ikonia, i can't find it there
[19:40] <bullgard4_> Parameter: I will try to partition it myself.
[19:40] <ikonia> valthyx: as big as you need it to be, depends on what you need
[19:40] <zykotick9> valthyx, if you need hybernation, it's amount of RAM + a little bit.
[19:40] <ikonia> Mayday: which document did you read
[19:40] <w30> etech, that's too know; I might inherit one of those. XP doesn't work for shoot on it.
[19:40] <Mayday> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation
[19:40] <Parameter> bullgard4_, sure, but it is useful to add filesystem(s) after that
[19:40] <Parameter> with mkfs
[19:40] <Parameter> for example
[19:41] <Parameter> mkfs -t msdos /dev/sdb1
[19:41] <bullgard4_> ikonia: I know that there are forums and mailing lists. And I do use them.
[19:41] <Mayday> should swap be in another partition?
[19:41] <Parameter> msdos creates a fat16 filesystem
[19:41] <bullgard4_> Parameter: Yes.
[19:41] <zykotick9> Mayday, often, yes
[19:41] <Parameter> you can also create linux file systems
[19:41] <Parameter> or ntfs, as you wish
[19:41] <kroq-gar78> Mayday: It can. You can also have a swap file
[19:42] <ikonia> bullgard4_: that's great, this channel is aimed at ubuntu and you seem to continue to use this channel for generic support

[19:42] <qkslvrwolf> Anyone have a moment to spare to help me get my usb wifi set up?
[19:42] <ikonia> Mayday: about %50 down
[19:42] <Mayday> kroq-gar78, so can i don't create swap partition, install Linux without swap and after installation create swap file?
[19:42] <kroq-gar78> Mayday: theoretically, yes, but I never really use swap files.
[19:43] <zykotick9> Mayday, creating the swap partition during install is easiest method

[19:44] <abhi_69> i need help about remastersys
[19:44] <Mayday> ikonia, step 6 - i'have already Windows installed, so i have to choose "specify partitions manually"
[19:44] <valthyx> zykotick9, i made it 4 gb. However, i would not hibernate my windows anymore. I just installed linux (dual booting)
[19:44] <valthyx> i could dual boot previously on windows
[19:44] <abhi_69> i made a custom ubuntu 11.04 distro to share with my frnds
[19:44] <ikonia> Mayday: and there is a link there too
[19:44] <abhi_69> i want to test it before distribute among my frnds
[19:44] <ikonia> abhi_69: please don't discuss that in here
[19:44] <zykotick9> valthyx, swap is useful for more then just hibernation
[19:44] <ikonia> abhi_69: this channel is only for ubuntu support
[19:45] <qkslvrwolf> Does anyone have a moment to help with a usb wireless card?
[19:45] <zykotick9> !anyone | qkslvrwolf
[19:46] <valthyx> zykotick9, i made a swap partition today after while intalling linux. later i tried to hibernate my windows 7, but couldnt. Do you know why? does it have anything to do with the new swap partition?
[19:46] <Mayday> thanks a lot :)
[19:46] <ikonia> valthyx: your swap partition needs to be at least as big as your ram to hibernate/suspend
[19:46] <zykotick9> valthyx, no sorry i don't know why.  But I don't help with MS issues.  Good luck.
[19:47] <sum1nil> ubuntus doc on swap size: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[19:47] <zykotick9> qkslvrwolf, you need to provide some details.  What wireless is it?  What have you tried?  see "/msg ubottu details"
[19:47] <qkslvrwolf> I have a netgear wna1000m usb wireless card I am trying to get to work.  I have followed the instruction here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806839.  lsmod shows what appears to be the correct driver, lsusb shows the netgear inserted, but wlan0 does not come up, even after a reboot.  I don't knw what to do, please help?
[19:47] <Somelauw> Is there any terminal emulator that has never problems with any application or keybindings?
[19:48] <valthyx> ikonia, does this apply to windows too?
[19:48] <valthyx> zykotick9, you meantioned that swap has more usage than just for hibernation. could you tell me what are other usage?
[19:49] <zykotick9> valthyx, the gnu/linux swap partition is totally separate from windows
[19:49] <qkslvrwolf> not just wlan0, but no wireless device starts on an ifconfig -a
[19:49] <ikonia> valthyx: the guys in ##windows can explain that better
[19:49] <valthyx> ok, thank you
[19:50] <qkslvrwolf> everything i can find online says that there's an led, but I dont' have one, nor do I have one when I plug it in one windows.
[19:50] <zykotick9> valthyx, beside hibernation a swap partition (or file) can speed up your system, by freeing physical RAM for more important things.
[19:50] <qkslvrwolf> never midn, yes it does
[19:50] <qkslvrwolf> :-)
[19:50] <commonwealthed> would anyone be able to point me to the proper search terms for a program that i could use to 'encrypt' a bunch of my random data before I upload it to a cloud service?
[19:51] <qkslvrwolf>   ah
[19:52] <qkslvrwolf> removing it and reinserting it gives me something to work with..."rtlwifi:  rtl_usb_probe():  Can't init_sw_vars
[19:52] <Polah> commonwealth: gpg
[19:52] <GinoManVM> Ok..... so I'm on a vm, and I installed some stuff over apt-get and now my unity menu at the top has a different theme.... where do I go to fix it?
[19:52] <zykotick9> commonwealthed, (NOT HELPFUL reply follows) "the cloud" is bad for freedom, YET you are obviously concerned with privacy/freedom as you want to encrypt things.
[19:52] <valthyx> zykotick9, thank you for the explanation. Can i increase my swap partition size. Assuming that there is no unallocated partition
[19:52] <Polah> commonwealthed: gpg can encrypt things for you. It comes by default
[19:53] <zykotick9> valthyx, increasing swap will have little or no increase in performance (assuming you created a reasonably sized one to begin with)
[19:53] <SnackWhack> It seems this old computer I've installed Ubuntu has an old graphics card and doesn't support desktop effects. But, I can't find where to turn off desktop effects. I don't see it under system->preferences->appearence. Can I find it someplace else?
[19:54] <Polah> SnackWhack: Using Unity or GNOME?
[19:54] <Lockzi> Hello, I need some help installing pcre 8+ on Ubuntu 10.04. I've been trying so much that I believe my system is a mess... Any directions anyone?
[19:54] <SnackWhack> Polah: Heh, not sure. New to Linux. How3 can I tell?
[19:55] <GinoManVM> SnackWhack: Gnome has a bar at the top of the screen and the bottom
[19:55] <SnackWhack> Polah: Then it's Gnome
[19:55] <Polah> SnackWhack: Unity has a bar on the left with a search box to find things
[19:55] <GinoManVM> Unity has just a bar at the top and a OS-X-esque Dock on the side
[19:55] <commonwealthed> zykotick9 thats, i have exactly the same sentiment as you, however I am looking for a temporary/transition of my data. i dont want evil(tm) to get me on way through...
[19:55] <commonwealthed> Polah I thought that was only for emails?
[19:56] <GinoManVM> commonwealthed: since when is Evil a trademark?
[19:56] <zykotick9> commonwealthed, gpg can encrypt files as well
[19:56] <Polah> SnackWhack: System > Administration > Login Screen, unlock it and change the session part to "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)"
[19:56] <valthyx> zykotick9, thanks, i created about the size of my ram
[19:56] <zykotick9> valthyx, that should be fine then
[19:56] <GinoManVM> so why do I not have the default theme on the unity menubar?
[19:57] <zykotick9> valthyx, most of the time swap is barely used at all - you can verify with the cli command "free -m"
[19:57] <Polah> commonwealth: GPG can sign, encrypt, decrypt a variety of things with passwords and keys
[19:57] <commonwealthed> wow i was completely unaware of that! thank you so much guys, heading for google
[19:57] <SnackWhack> Polah: Then reboot?
[19:57] <GinoManVM> SnackWhack: yup, reboot, shutdown -r now
[19:57] <Polah> SnackWhack: Logging out, clicking your username and then changing "Ubuntu Classic" at the bottom to "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)" then logging in again should do for now
[19:57] <Polah> commonwealthed: Just do man gpg in a terminal
[19:58] <valthyx> zykotick9, thanks
[19:59] <commonwealthed> Polah thanks!
[20:00] <miikael> how do i configure samba to not ask for password when trying to open the network resource from a windows machine?
[20:00] <cdrive> I need some help: ./uplink: symbol lookup error: ./uplink: undefined symbol: __glutRoot
[20:00] <Polah> commonwealthed: If you want a fairly simple way to encrypt then use "gpg -c <file>", it'll ask for a password and then encrypt it using that. Then gpg -d <file> and entering your passphrase should decrypt it. For more secure encryption and signing you'll want to generate a key and use that
[20:01] <zykotick9> miikael, samba shares things to windows/linux clients.  If connecting to a windows box requires a password, you'd need to configure that on the windows machine.
[20:02] <SnackWhack> Had to reboot anyway, screen went haywire
[20:02] <Lockzi> Is there a way to verify if a package is installed?
[20:02] <commonwealthed> Polah: pardon my ignorance, but is 'signing' like a checksum? does that work the same as "gpg -c"?
[20:02] <miikael> zykotick9: you get me all wrong, the shared directory is on my linux machine, but it ask for user/pass when i try open it in windows

[20:03] <cdrive> Why is it that the AMD64 version of Ubuntu doesn't work with my AMD machine
[20:03] <SnackWhack> hmmm, so, I still have some graphic anomalies. It's better, but is there a way I can install a really basic desktop. I don't need fancy windows or anything. Just plain as can be....
[20:03] <zfe> hey ubuntuers
[20:03] <zfe> any mac owner around?
[20:03] <zykotick9> cdrive, it's not a 64bit AMD?
[20:03] <zfe> i really need to ask some questions
[20:03] <cdrive> It's a new AMD, so yes it IS
[20:03] <markke> Hello all! Anybody here using 64-bit version of Ubuntu Natty? Any problems on an Intel i5 laptop?
[20:04] <cdrive> AMD Athlon II x4 635 to be exact
[20:04] <zykotick9> !doesntwork | cdrive
[20:04] <cdrive> Really? Just really?
[20:05] <miikael> how do i configure samba to not ask for password when trying to open the network resource from a windows machine?
[20:05] <sum1nil> hi when setting up a chroot environment should the fstab be just like my 'regular' environment?
[20:05] <zykotick9> !details | cdrive is this better?
[20:05] <cdrive> zykotick9: I already TOLD you my problem, now shut up.
[20:05] <Galvatron> cdrive: Define "doesn't work"
[20:05] <Polah> commonwealthed: It signs it with your key, so it's basically so someone can verify that it comes from you (you should be the only person with the signing key)
[20:05] <markke> Hello all! Anybody here using 64-bit version of Ubuntu Natty? Any problems on an Intel i5 laptop or any laptop in general.
[20:06] <cdrive> Galvatron: Never MIND
[20:06] <sum1nil> using an emachine laptop perfecttly with natty 64 bit
[20:06] <sum1nil> brb
[20:06] <iceroot_> is there something to stream the local audio to a remote-system? e.g. playing youtube on the notebook and hearing the sound on another machine.
[20:07] <zykotick9> iceroot_, pulse is capable of doing that.  I've never tried it myself, but know it's possible.
[20:08] <Galvatron> zfe: Why are you asking?
[20:08] <markke> sum1nil: any issues with common software like Flashnot working properly on Firefox, etc? I'm thinking of re-installing to 64-bit coz PAE kernel is too buggy for me. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
[20:08] <SnackWhack> maybe I should install XFCE. If I do, can I switch back to Gnome easily?
[20:08] <zfe> Galvatron, how did you install?
[20:08] <zfe> refit + cd?
[20:09] <fwaokda> There is a site that has a folder full of images... eg. http://lookatme.com/images/towns/pics/32234.jpg  -- anyone know how i can download all images in that folder?
[20:09] <zykotick9> iceroot_, this article MIGHT help http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/582-stream-music-wirelessely-using-pulseaudio-server-device-chooser
[20:09] <iceroot_> zykotick9: sounds good. i will have a look
[20:09] <Lockzi> I am running Ubuntu 10.04. The goal is to update PCRE library to version 8+ for use with PHP. Running <pcre-config --version> it returns 8.13. PHP still returns 7.9 though. How can I fix this?
[20:09] <Galvatron> zfe: No, I mean't why are you asking. I don't have a Mac yet, but I've almost made up my mind to switch from Ubuntu PC to a Macbook Pro.
[20:10] <zfe> umm, i don't know
[20:10] <Polah> SnackWhack, If you install XFCE GNOME should be untouched and thus you can select either as a session whenever you want
[20:10] <zfe> macosx is cool
[20:10] <markke> Anybody else here using 64-bit version of Ubuntu Natty? Any problems on an Intel i5 laptop or any laptop in general. Want to stop using PAE kernel coz I'm getting lots of problems from it.
[20:10] <sum1nil> well yes and no.. on occassion I get blips in a paused flash strream.. but I am using the 64 bit release now and it seems better
[20:10] <Polah> markke: What kind of problems?
[20:10] <SnackWhack> Polah: perfect.. Installing now
[20:10] <zykotick9> Galvatron, poor decision, enjoy your non-freedom box
[20:10] <markke> sum1nil: Thanks. Aside from Flash what other issues have you noticed?
[20:10] <iceroot_> markke: normally there is no difference in i386 and amd64 for drivers and the hardware-support
[20:11] <markke> Polah: It stops right in the middle of boot is one. Sometimes splash runs but doesn't get to gdm, and others
[20:11] <zykotick9> iceroot_, i hope one day your statement above is true
[20:11] <iceroot_> zykotick9: if the driver is opensource there is normally not a problem because you can build it on amd64
[20:12] <sum1nil> none really have used ubunut for a number of years on and off outside of the 'unity' look and feel it; it's the same kind of reliablity I expect from ubuntu
[20:12] <Galvatron> zykotick9: Considering quality, battery life, Compiz-like interface and a strong base of Adobe software, I have no better choice. Ubuntu will probably stay as a secondary OS.
[20:12] <iceroot_> zykotick9: bigger problems are flash, java and other closed-source software
[20:12] <zykotick9> iceroot_, true, but many hardware drivers are NOT open source
[20:13] <iceroot_> zykotick9: many is a bit high in the current time i think
[20:13] <zykotick9> iceroot_, i don't have problems with hardware or software, but my hardware purchases are carefully selected
[20:13] <markke> iceroot_: Thanks, I'm on an Intel machine with 8GB of RAM. I just want to use all 8GB of it not limited to 3.2. PAE worked very well on my Intel desktop with 4GB, but for some reason, it's not working as I expected on the laptop.
[20:13] <iceroot_> markke: pae is a bad idea
[20:13] <zykotick9> markke, PAE is a "hack" it's 3-6% slower
[20:14] <zykotick9> markke, with 8GB RAM, go 64bit!
[20:14] <markke> well that was my next option
[20:14] <iceroot_> markke: with more then 1GB go amd64
[20:14] <iceroot_> markke: http://blog.linuxolution.org/archives/117
[20:14] <markke> well it looks more like i'm going 64bit then
[20:14] <yeats> markke: +1 # go for 64-bit - I've never had issues
[20:15] <zykotick9> iceroot_, that doesn't make sense - with 4GB i could understand it
[20:15] <iceroot_> zykotick9: read the article to see why you need amd64 with more then 1gb ram
[20:15] <iceroot_> zykotick9: http://blog.linuxolution.org/archives/117
[20:15] <markke> i better download some 64-bit copy then
[20:16] <markke> crap, i'll have to redo everything
[20:16] <markke> lols
[20:16] <faustisch> Hi, I'm looking for an application which can record videos from a tablet pencil. Any suggestions?
[20:16] <faustisch> Something like Macromedia Director
[20:16] <zykotick9> iceroot_, i find that article highly questionable
[20:17] <bullgard4_> Parameter: Using GParted I formatted the whole stick with ext2and labelled the partition. I managed to transfer a file from one computer to another using this USB thumb drive. --  Thank you for your help.
[20:17] <Galvatron> iceroot_: Perhaps I'm utterly dumb, but I don't get anything from that and I doubt 64-bit is a need unless you have at least 4GB and/or software making a real use of 64-bit.
[20:17] <iceroot_> zykotick9: but written from a person which should know what he is talking about i think
[20:17] <iceroot_> Galvatron: read the article
[20:17] <zykotick9> iceroot_, By Zaphod - that could be anyone
[20:17] <yggdrasil> can somone help me, my computer rebooted and its now stuck in initramfs
[20:17] <yeats> !clone | markke - maybe this will help
[20:17] <zykotick9> iceroot_, using an alias to publish doesn't inspire confidence
[20:18] <iceroot_> zykotick9: original is on the kernel-mailinglist
[20:18] <faustisch> I want to create a copylefted LPI CBT on GNU/Linux which a tablet pencil
[20:18] <faustisch> it's a pointing device, I reckon...
[20:18] <yggdrasil> i cant figure out what the computer wants me to do ?
[20:19] <markke> ayt thanks for that... i'll have to get my feet wet on 64-bit Ubuntu. never tried it.
[20:19] <yggdrasil> im just stuck at initramfs, which i wouldnt mind except that the cd players trashed and i cant boot.
[20:19] <yeats> yggdrasil: did anything change between when you last booted successfully and now?  (maybe a kernel update?)
[20:20] <markke> !automate
[20:20] <yggdrasil> yeats: its my kids computer.
[20:20] <yggdrasil> andi  dont think i ran any updates recently
[20:20] <yggdrasil> but apparently thats must be what happend.
[20:20] <Galvatron> iceroot_: I've read it already.
[20:20] <yeats> yggdrasil: have you tried booting into a previously installed kernel?
[20:21] <yggdrasil> thats what strange, im not even geting a grub menu
[20:21] <yeats> yggdrasil: hold shift at boot?
[20:21] <Parameter> bullgard4_, sorry for late response, but you're welcome :)
[20:23] <yggdrasil> ok let me try that
[20:24] <yggdrasil> yeats
[20:24] <yggdrasil> genious
[20:24] <yggdrasil> brb
[20:24] <yggdrasil> but still jsut initramfs
[20:24] <yeats> yggdrasil: ok ;-)
[20:25] <yeats> yggdrasil: worth a try
[20:25] <yeats> any messages at the top of the screen when it stops booting?
[20:26] <yggdrasil> yea a ton
[20:26] <yggdrasil> yeats brb
[20:27] <voodoox> hi
[20:27] <Iszak> Where do I discuss bugs on IRC?
[20:27] <markke> iceroot_: ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64 <-- so this is why you keep it calling  amd64? I assumed you were referring to the AMD co. I'm, again, assuming the same is used for Intel? :)
[20:27] <rww> markke: the amd64 architecture works with Intel x86_64 chips, yes
[20:28] <markke> rww: thank you much
[20:29] <alduhoo> hello
[20:29] <tony_> hellow
[20:29] <tony_> :P
[20:29] <alduhoo> where can i change the laptop lid behavior using terminal, i have installed ubuntu and would like to shut the lid
[20:29] <Gredeu> hey rww
[20:30] <alduhoo> ubuntu server
[20:30] <tony_> no
[20:30] <rww> hi Gredeu
[20:30] <markke> yeats: That automation you showed a while back, it will disregard 32-bit or 64-bit and choose to download the correct one? :)
[20:30] <Polah> alduhoo: What about it?
[20:30] <Gredeu> amd64 is for intel too
[20:30] <alduhoo> Polah: well, i want to shut my laptop lid but leave the server running, is there a way to disable suspend when lid is closed?
[20:31] <Polah> alduhoo: Look in your power management settings.
[20:31] <Gredeu> you can disabled both suspend and hibernate, i'd refer you to google for simplest solution, but i might be hanged :o
[20:31] <Gredeu> ;)
[20:31] <tony_> go to start
[20:31] <tony_> then system
[20:31] <alduhoo> Polah: i don't have a GUI, so i was wondering if there's a terminal command
[20:31] <tony_> prefrences
[20:31] <yeats> markke: it will record the package name, which will *usually* work between 32 & 64 bit - there may be exceptions, but you'll find those, I'm sure ;-)
[20:32] <tony_> o
[20:32] <tony_> thrn power manigment thts how u change it
[20:32] <Polah> alduhoo: Hmm, I'm sure it's possible I just don't recall the way to do it.
[20:32] <Polah> Would it be advisiable to run 64-bit Ubuntu on a 48-bit processor?
[20:32] <markke> yeats: gotcha. thanks mate.. .
[20:32] <alduhoo> Polah: mmm, thanks i'll keep lookinf
[20:33] <alduhoo> anyway, i have converted an old laptop into a home server, ive already got apache,ssh,ftp,cups installed
[20:33] <Galvatron> Polah: It simply won't run.;)
[20:33] <alduhoo> any other suggestions?
[20:34] <Polah> Galvatron: Well actually it does run, I'm just having a few issues with firefox not liking to load websites I've logged into, i.e. some forums and facebook, but that could just be firefox
[20:34] <yeats> alduhoo: you might ask in #ubuntu-server
[20:34] <alduhoo> thanks
[20:34] <markke> yeats: One more Q pls, 32-bit will run normally on 64-bit? Just in case the app I want to install/run does not have a 64-bit package?
[20:35] <Polah> alduhoo: have a look at setterm
[20:36] <Slart> Polah: 48 bit processor? never heard about one of those..
[20:36] <alduhoo> Polah: ok, will do, thanks
[20:36] <Polah> alduhoo: PHP and MySQL for your webserver, perhaps? mysql-server and php5, you'll need the apache modules for it too.
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> markke: yes, your 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS
[20:36] <yeats> markke: I would just try to run what you normally do and come back when something doesn't work
[20:36] <tony_> is there a way to get the synce program to work still cant get it to work in ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04
[20:37] <Polah> Slart: According to /proc/cpuinfo my processor, an AMD Athlon II X2 250 is 48-bit and some googling has revealed that it's used with some hackery as an implementation of 64-bit. Don't quite know how
[20:38] <Slart> Polah: hmm.. are you talking about "address sizes"?
[20:38] <Polah> Slart: Yes
[20:38] <markke> yeats: alright, i meant that in a general way....
[20:38] <tony_> i have the crapyest laptop acer aspire one zg5 8 gb ssd 512 mb ram and intell atom
[20:39] <tony_> lol
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> polah: 48 == 32 + 16   interestingly
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> tony_: they run ubuntu well :)
[20:39] <Slart> Polah: then it's still a 64 bit processor.. I'm not sure if they limited the address bus to 48 bits on purpose or something like that.. my cpuinfo has the same number
[20:39] <tony_> yah but not windows lol
[20:40] <Rafase282> can someone help me with installing ubuntu 11.4 arm into a img file using deboostrap?
[20:40] <Polah> ActionParsnip: The magic of addition of powers of two!
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> tony_: i've seen them run it ok with a lot of tweaks, I'd use LUbuntu on it personally
[20:40] <Polah> Slart: Yeah, it's listed as supporting 64-bit and apparently does as far as I can tell, I'm just curious as to why it would say 48-bit and if there's some problems from that
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> polah: true but weird how one is detected as half size
[20:40] <Slart> Polah: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6716946/why-do-64-bit-systems-have-only-a-48-bit-address-space
[20:40] <tony_> yah i allready tryed but it wont make a start up disk
[20:40] <Polah> ActionParsnip: What would be detected as half size?
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> polah: not sure, i'd check slart's link
[20:41] <mo-> hola  como estan  todos
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> !es
[20:42] <Slart> Polah: 48 bits correspond to 256 Terabyte of addressable memory.. which I think will be enough.. at least for a while =)
[20:42] <yeats> markke: in general I've not seen any problems running the same apps between 32-bit and 64-bit (excepting Adobe Flash, which is its own animal ;-) )
[20:42] <tony_> i only have 3.5gb of memori right now :P
[20:42] <tony_> 2.5
[20:42] <markke> By the way, http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ is in a loop. Can't download from there.... just in case someone "official" Ubuntu peeps here reading . ... but my end could be at fault too.
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> tony_: that's more than all my systems combined
[20:42] <Slart> markke: same here
[20:42] <Polah> Slart: Yes, it's just strange that 64-bit processor only uses 48 bits
[20:42] <hugenumber> For Ubuntu 10.10 Does the 280.13 Nvidea Driver work as well or better than 270.41?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> hugenumber: what nvidia chip are you using?
[20:43] <tony_> wow y is that?
[20:43] <Slart> Polah: according to the link I sent you it's because 48 bits is very much enough at the moment and handling those extra 16 bits of addressing would just waste transistors noone would use anyway
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> tony_: I haven't bought a new rig in years, all I do is web browse and chat so I don't need 8Gb ram with quad core cpu
[20:44] <Polah> Slart: Yes, I read. Lazy manufacturers causing us headache ):
[20:44] <Slart> Polah: hehe
[20:44] <dasilentprince> Yay
[20:44] <tony_> no i have 8 gb hard drive and 512 mb ram lol
[20:44] <yourstruly> yes
[20:44] <Polah> I might just reinstall to 32-bit if I can't get these webpages to load properly. They were working before I moved up to 64 bit
[20:45] <tony_> only 2.5 gb of ard druve left
[20:45] <w30> tony_, I used Ubuntu usb-creator and successfully made a lubuntu live-install flash drive for my atom
[20:45] <fwaokda> what type of file would i need to make that would run a wget based on a number?
[20:45] <Polah> tony_: An 8GB hard drive? How old is that drive exactly?
[20:45] <dasilentprince> Very good
[20:45] <mo-> hola
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> settenop: running an irc client as root is not wise at all
[20:45] <Polah> fwaokda: Something that supports if and else statements
[20:46] <tony_> lmfao 2008
[20:46] <tony_> not evan old
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> polah: are you having flash issues?
[20:46] <Polah> tony_: I'm somewhat doubtful you got an 8GB drive in 2008
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> tony_: uninstall old kernels can save tonnes of space
[20:46] <rww> Polah: could be SSD
[20:46] <Polah> ActionParsnip, no, some pages like my own forum and facebook don't like to load once I've logged in
[20:46] <Galvatron> Polah: Your Athlon definitely IS a 64-bit CPU, I guarantee. All AMD CPUs starting from Athlon 64 are 64-bit.
[20:46] <tony_> it is a ssd
[20:47] <Polah> rww: Oh yes, fair point.
[20:47] <w30> I have lubuntu on a 6.6 gig ssd with 3.3 gig used up and about 3 gig left for fub.
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> polah: tried all browsers? and made a new user to test there too?
[20:48] <Polah> ActionParsnip: Not yet, trying to get it to work in Firefox preferably. They were working last night on 11.04 32-bit
[20:48] <Galvatron> Polah: For intel the same is true for Prescott Pentium IVs and all that follows.
[20:48] <discostu2> my graphics card is broken but allows me boot win xp safe mode, although not win xp normal, and not ubuntu. it is a nvidia 7300 le - i believe i may be able to run ubuntu in restore mode if i can set it to VGA - can anyone tell me how?
[20:48] <discostu2> from the cli?
[20:48] <tony_> i have ubuntu on my computer it has a 8 gb ssd a 512 mb ram and the rest of it sucks :P jk
[20:49] <Polah> Galvatron: Mhm, I looked up and saw it supported 64-bit and I'm running a 64-bit system here with only a few issues, I was just curious as to it saying 48-bit
[20:49] <tony_> and i really wat to get ubuntu on my pocket pc
[20:49] <Polah> disconstu2: Is that a discrete GPU or onboard?
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> polah: try a differnet browser to test, might be firefox being garbag
[20:49] <Galvatron> Polah: 48-bit might be a memory address space/bus.
[20:49] <Polah> Galvatron: It is, it's 64-bit but only uses 48-bit
[20:49] <tony_> try chrominum
[20:50] <schijnndraeff> I had installed KDE on my system, decided I didn't like it, and uninstalled it.  Now DVD and audio playback aren't working.  I assume I uninstalled something I shouldn't have.  Can anyone help?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> polah: I suggest chromium too, it rocks
[20:50] <yggdrasil> yeatsback
[20:50] <schijnndraeff> I had installed KDE on my system, decided I didn't like it, and uninstalled it.  Now DVD and audio playback aren't working.  I assume I uninstalled something I shouldn't have.  Can anyone help?
[20:50] <yggdrasil> yeats:
[20:50] <Polah> ActionParsnip: Getting Chrome just now, although I had Firefox 6 on my 32-bit system yesterday and it was working.
[20:50] <tony_> lol
[20:50] <yggdrasil> last message is 1394 host added
[20:50] <schijnndraeff> I had installed KDE on my system, decided I didn't like it, and uninstalled it.  Now DVD and audio playback aren't working.  I assume I uninstalled something I shouldn't have.  Can anyone help?
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> polah: maybe the 64bit build has a bug then
[20:51] <Galvatron> Polah: It might be using just that for memory addressing, but it surely is capable of 64-bit computing or otherwise it wouldn't run a 64-bit OS.
[20:51] <Polah> Galvatron: Yeah, it's just 48-bit memory addressing
[20:51] <blag> I'm running Ubuntu from my hard drive (not from a LiveCD), can still safely fix GRUB?
[20:51] <tony_> where can i get a copy of lubuntu iv tryed once but ill try again
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> blag: absolutely
[20:51]  * jiltdil firefox 6 is hanging sometime in 64bit
[20:51] <blag> ActionParsnip: thanks

[20:52] <Galvatron> schijnndraeff: Don't flood the channel.

[20:52] <schijnndraeff> I had installed KDE on my system, decided I didn't like it, and uninstalled it.  Now DVD and audio playback aren't working.  I assume I uninstalled something I shouldn't have.  Can anyone help?
[20:52] <Polah> I assume Firefox 5 has been replaced by 6 in the repos?
[20:52] <rww> Polah: in natty, yes
[20:52] <Galvatron> schijnndraeff: Was it Ubuntu or Kubuntu? What desktop enviroment have you intalled to replace KDE?\
[20:53] <Polah> Chromium won't even let me log in to facebook, it's just loading the next page forever. Firefox at least lets me log in and shows me my main page and a few other pages that I open in the next few seconds before not loading anything else
[20:53] <blag> schijnndraeff: did you install kde by installing the kubuntu-desktop package?
[20:53] <yeats> yggdrasil: I'm afraid that's not ringing any bells for me... why don't you try asking the channel again - perhaps someone will have some advice
[20:53] <schijnndraeff> I had installed KDE on my system, decided I didn't like it, and uninstalled it.  Now DVD and audio playback aren't working.  I assume I uninstalled something I shouldn't have.  Can anyone help?

[20:54] <yeats> !repeat | schijnndraeff
[20:54] <tony_> schould i get the offical or the low disk space 1 ?
[20:54] <iridium> troLL
[20:54] <Galvatron> schijnndraeff: I can't help if you keep flooding instead of answeing my question.
[20:54] <oCean> schijnndraeff: please stop that now
[20:54] <blag> schijnndraeff: did you install kde by installing kubuntu-desktop?
[20:54] <schijnndraeff> Oops, sorry.  I didn't see my message posted, so I assumed there was a problem.  Again, sorry!
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> tony_: I'd go the main one, not used the low space one so couldn't comment. You could join #lubuntu and see what the difference is
[20:55] <ajaydarez> hi i am having a small problem with ubuntu
[20:56] <Galvatron> schijnndraeff: No problem. I'll repeat: Was it Ubuntu or Kubuntu in the first place? Was KDE the only enviroment? What have ypu install as a replacement?
[20:56] <Galvatron> 		
[20:56] <ajaydarez> can anyone help me
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> ajaydarez: no, you haven't told us any details
[20:56] <ajaydarez> i need to change the colour of the windows :) and make them transperant
[20:56] <ajaydarez> its not urgent. but i would like to do it
[20:56] <Galvatron> !question | ajaydarez	
[20:57] <ajaydarez> none of the solutions online worked
[20:57] <Polah> Well, time to try Firefox 5
[20:57] <blag> schijnndraeff: try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop.  its dependencies should reinstall anything you messed up.
[20:57] <ajaydarez> first time in an IRC.  i will def take that feedback. thanks
[20:57] <schijnndraeff> Hmm, it's still not showing that I've posted anything...
[20:57] <Galvatron> ajaydarez: Noe would you mind describing the problem?
[20:57] <luca> hello
[20:57] <Galvatron> *Now
[20:58] <zfe> my installation fails big time
[20:58] <fwaokda> anyone can help me write a bash script? wget to get images based on a number... here is what I have right now but it's not workin... http://pastebin.com/CPeY92UH
[20:58] <zfe> it says it can't find any livefs
[20:58] <ajaydarez> all the windows in ubuntu
[20:58] <zfe> i'm installing 11.04 on a macbook pro
[20:58] <ajaydarez> i need to change the color to something i want for a customer
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> ajaydarez: there are themes if that's what you mean?
[20:58] <ajaydarez> the background. like when you open a folder, you have a background right. i need to change it
[20:58] <ajaydarez> i know. but i want   to customize this alone seperately
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> zfe: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[20:58] <ajaydarez> is that posible?
[20:59] <zfe> ActionParsnip, how can i do it?
[20:59] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> I have an e-sata drive that will not be auto-recognized by linux unless it is connected prior to the computer being started, is there a command to force linux to check for new devices and register any changes as a result of that check?
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> !md5 \ zfe
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | zfe
[20:59] <ajaydarez> also i cant make it transperent
[20:59] <prashant_> how to delete a directory as root
[21:00] <Galvatron> ajaydarez: Right-clich > Change dektop background > Customiza > Colors > Input boxes
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> ajaydarez: do you mean the window decorator?
[21:00] <\l> I_AM_IN_ROOT: Check your dmesg after plugging in the drive hot.
[21:00] <zykotick9> I_AM_IN_ROOT, it all depends on your motherboard i'm afraid - mine doesn't support hot-plugging esata either :(  some do.
[21:00] <Polah> prashant_: sudo rmdir <dir> or sudo rm -r <dir> if it has contents
[21:00] <guntbert> prashant_: VERY careful!!!
[21:00] <\l> I_AM_IN_ROOT: If you see a message about it, it's a userspace issue. If not, you just can't, like zykotick9 said.
[21:01] <guntbert> Polah: please don't give such advice without warnings
[21:01] <zykotick9> \l, nothing shows up in dmesg in my case
[21:01] <oCean> fwaokda: try   wget $Site -P ~/Desktop/pictures
[21:01] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> zykotick9, it does support hot swapping sata but it does not register in linux
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> zfe: as you have failed to MD5 test, you have no way of knowing the data is complete or consistent
[21:01] <Galvatron> ajaydarez: Or GNOME Color Chooser > Global colors > Entry fields > normal > Background
[21:01] <\l> I_AM_IN_ROOT: If it doesn't register in dmesg, get a newer kernel.
[21:01] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> \l, I'm on 3.0.1
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> I_AM_IN_ROOT: it may support it but possibly not in Linux is the point.
[21:01] <prashant_> guntbert, Polah thanks it worked
[21:02] <\l> I_AM_IN_ROOT: Did you roll your own?
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> I_AM_IN_ROOT: 3.0.1 of what?
[21:02] <\l> ActionParsnip: That's his kernel version.
[21:02] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> \l, yes
[21:02] <\l> I_AM_IN_ROOT: Then you messed up a compile time option, I'm sure.
[21:02] <zykotick9> I_AM_IN_ROOT, run dmesg, plug the drive in/turn in on - then run dmesg again - do you see anything about sdX added?
[21:02] <\l> I_AM_IN_ROOT: Try with a vanilla kernel.
[21:02] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, 3.0.1 is a kernel
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> I_AM_IN_ROOT: then you are using an unofficial kernel, oneiric or a home compiled kernel, none of those are supported here
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: maybe not ;), just wanted to clarify
[21:03] <zfe> ActionParsnip, yes
[21:03] <zfe> md5 is ok
[21:03] <guntbert> prashant_: you do realize that it is very rarely necessary to remove some root owned folder?
[21:03] <ajaydarez> thanks that worked like a charm!
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> zfe: good, please test BEFORE using the file
[21:03] <cdrive> What is the default root password
[21:03] <I_AM_IN_ROOT> whatever, thanks for nothing
[21:03] <oCean> cdrive: there is none
[21:03] <zfe> ActionParsnip,  ok, got it, but i still have the problem
[21:03] <ajaydarez> is there anyway i can set the  transperancy?
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> cdrive: there isn't one
[21:03] <rww> !root | cdrive
[21:03] <cdrive> rww: I need to use root
[21:03] <cdrive> so shush
[21:03] <tony_> #windows
[21:04] <tony_> weird
[21:04] <rww> cdrive: The password hash for root is set to "!" by default. This does not match any password, so it is not possible to log in as root with a username and password by default. This channel does not provide help with setting a root password. Use sudo instead.
[21:04] <coz_> I_AM_IN
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> cdrive: use:  sudo -i
[21:04] <coz_> darn
[21:04] <guntbert> !sudo | cdrive
[21:04] <prashant_> guntbert, i have installed puddletag and the unzipped folder not need necessary anymore thats why we deleted it
[21:04] <cdrive> Stop it I know what root is
[21:04] <cdrive> God
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> cdrive: use:   sudo -i  and you will get a root console
[21:04] <cdrive> I need to use su -, cd /, and touch /forcefsck
[21:05] <oCean> cdrive: no you don't
[21:05] <rww> what precisely is wrong with sudo touch /forcefsck
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | cdrive
[21:05] <\l> cdrive: "sudo touch /forcefsk"
[21:05] <cdrive> ACTIONPARSNIP SHUT UP
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> cdrive: so no you don't at all
[21:05] <Galvatron> zfe: Regarding your Macbook problem with livefs, make sure the system has been downloaded and burned properly.
[21:05] <lynx____> I'm thinkin about rubbity jib ib
[21:05] <lynx____> How do I USE desktopflickrorganizer or FlickrEdit
[21:05] <zfe> ok Galvatron
[21:05] <rww> cdrive: come back in 15 minutes with a less antagonistic attitude, please
[21:05] <lynx____> I can't use them to download photo sets posted by other people
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> zfe: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible (if you used a CD)
[21:05] <lynx____> Hello?
[21:06] <guntbert> prashant_: in the future: don't unpack as root ... :-))
[21:06] <coz_> cdrive,  as frustrating as you seem to be, please do not critisize volunteers here,, they are all trying to help
[21:06] <lynx____> How do I USE desktopflickrorganizer or FlickrEdit?
[21:06] <Galvatron> zfe: Basically, Mac is like any other PC, with the main difference beingMac OS and  EFI
[21:06] <lynx____> HELP ME!  run dun dun dun dunnna nun nun nun
[21:06] <prashant_> guntbert, ok thanks
[21:06] <rww> lynx____: no need to repeat yourself. give it 15 minutes and see if someone replies, and in the meantime try Google and the documentation :)
[21:06] <lynx____> How do I USE desktopflickrorganizer or FlickrEdit?
[21:06] <lynx____> okay
[21:06] <coz_> lynx____,  I dont have either installed,, did you install these via apt?
[21:06] <lynx____> I installed these from sourceforge/javaforge
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> Galvatron: and double price for the same hardware ;)
[21:07] <coz_> lynx____,   and do you have the link for that?
[21:07] <lynx____> but I did install mono to use one of them
[21:07] <lynx____> yes
[21:07] <Galvatron> Galvatron: It's a big myth.
[21:07] <coz_> lynx____,  please give me the link so I can take a look at it
[21:07] <Galvatron> ActionParsnip: It's a big myth.
[21:07] <\l> Galvatron: Self highlight?
[21:07] <\l> Ah.
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> Galvatron: i've seen the prices dude, its not a myth
[21:08] <lynx____> http://code.google.com/p/dfo/
[21:08] <coz_> lynx____, there is also an application named frogr
[21:08] <lynx____> where do I get frogr?  And does it actually work for other accounts
[21:08] <coz_> lynx____,  you did notice the  note that the project is no longer un der  active development on that link...yes?
[21:08] <lynx____> http://flickredit.javaforge.com
[21:08] <lynx____> http://code.google.com/p/dfo/
[21:08] <Polah> Galvatron: $200 for 4GB of DDR3@1333MHz isn't really a myth. I doubt super special magical Apple RAM that is different from the 8GB DDR3@1600MHz that I got for only $60?
[21:08] <coz_> lynx____,  hold on I will find  frogr
[21:08] <lynx____> Yes
[21:09] <lynx____> But shouldn't the programs work for other photo sets than your own account?
[21:09] <iceroot_> wikipedia (german) says that ext4 cant have 512byte blocks. so if /boot is ext4 and i want the bootsector, bs=512 is wrong?
[21:09] <iceroot_> wrong, not /boot, the whole drive of course
[21:09] <coz_> lynx____,   not sure I have not installed that and I probably wouldnt since it is no longer under development  however i believe this is a ppa for frogr which i have used   http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/desktop-flickr-uploader-frogr-gets-updated/
[21:09] <lynx____> should I get using git or http
[21:09] <Galvatron> But in general, you won;t find a better mobile laptops or all-in-ones for the same price.
[21:10] <Polah> Galvatron: Eh, the only thing I like about them is the good battery life, hardly worth paying three times as much or so for
[21:10] <Galvatron> In the case of 17" iMac, the IPS display takes something like a half of the price.
[21:10] <Galvatron> *27
[21:11] <Jordan_U> iceroot_: What are you trying to accomplish?
[21:11] <coz_> lynx____,  hold on that ppa is not working let me find another option for it
[21:11] <rww> ActionParsnip, Polah, Galvatron: #ubuntu-offtopic for Mac pricing discussion, please :)
[21:11] <guntbert> !ot | Galvatron Polah
[21:11] <Galvatron> Sorry
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> rww: i stopped ages ago ;_
[21:12] <iceroot_> Jordan_U: does "ext4 doesnt support 512 byte blocks" mean that my bootsector is bigger then the first 512bytes on the device?
[21:12] <lynx____> I found frogr at http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/frogr/0.6/
[21:12] <crankharder> not that it matters much, but if my 10.4 LTS server instance is fully updated shouldn't 'lsb_release -a' return 10.4.4 and not 10.4.3?
[21:12] <Night-Hacks> why $top shows Zero memory to not active process ?
[21:12] <coz_> lynx____,  I believe you can also use git for it     git clone git://gitorious.org/frogr/mainline.git
[21:13] <lynx____> If I wanted to download a photo set from someone else's account, frogr will do it?
[21:13] <lynx____> Yeah, I have git also
[21:13] <Jordan_U> iceroot_: No. Ext4 has one 512 byte sector reserved as a boot sector. But you really shouldn't be installing grub to the boot sector of a partition rather than the mbr + embedded area. What is your end goal?
[21:13] <lynx____> What is mono?  Does it allow you to run .NET 2.5/3.0/3.5 Windows executables?
[21:13] <coz_> lynx____,  I have not tried that  however cant hurt to give it a whirl   it can always be uninstalled  if you keep the source directory
[21:13] <lynx____> desktopflickrorganizer requires it and is an .exe file
[21:14] <lynx____> the .exe began with MZ
[21:14] <Polah> lynx___: Mono is an implementation of .NET for Linux
[21:14] <lynx____> also, it came with some packages that ended in -cil
[21:14] <iceroot_> Jordan_U: i dont want to install grub, i was just reading the article about the blocksize and was interested what that means for the mbr + partition layout which are normally stored in the first 512 bytes
[21:14] <iceroot_> lynx____: yes
[21:14] <Polah> Well, FF5, FF6 and Chrome all fail to load up websites I've logged in to. Guess it's time to go and try out on 32-bit again
[21:14] <lynx____> explain what that means
[21:15] <lynx____> .NET for linux could mean anything... .NET programs compiled in linux that also run in windows, runs .NET programs compiled in Windows
[21:15] <Polah> iceroot_: I wouldn't think the MBR would be formatted with a filesystem. Thought, I could be wrong
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> polah: very weird
[21:15] <Jordan_U> iceroot_: The structure of a filesystem has nothing to do with the structure of the partition table. As far as the filesystem can see, the first sector of its partition is the first sector of the "device".
[21:15] <Night-Hacks> yes
[21:16] <M_3arab> how to install 3g usb in ubuntu 11.04
[21:16] <iceroot_> Jordan_U: so the first 512bytes are not stored in ext4 format as Polah said
[21:16] <lynx____> is mono for .NET programs compiled in linux that also run in windows, runs .NET programs compiled in Windows
[21:16] <ajaydarez> hi . when i apply a theme, the top panel becomes absurd.  The center does not have any colour and the sides ( the places where the time shows, the application menu is etc) becomes the colour of the theme.  Is there a way to say tell ubuntu to not apply the theme to the panel alone?
[21:16] <lynx____> In other words, if I compile a program using Visual Studio 2008, using .NET dlls version 3.5, the exe will run in mono?
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> M_3arab: run:   lsusb     use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[21:17] <Polah> lynx____, it runs programs that use the .NET framework... I'm sure it would work for programs that were compiled in Linux that use the .NET framework although I doubt anyone would use the .NET framework if they're compiling in Linux...
[21:17] <lynx____> hello?
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> M_3arab: be sure you have usb-modeswitch installed
[21:17] <lynx____> g%tfn.?r J!hm`DB ^dkdX&F qM#H\;u ELeT""K( @6X'BlAT  %BX.U?
[21:17] <Jordan_U> iceroot_: The first 512 bytes of a drive contain the mbr. The first byte of the first partition usually starts 1 MiB into the drive. So the first sector of the ext filesystem is not the same as the first sector of the drive.

[21:18] <_luca__> hey i currently building a litlle server and i was wandering what is best server distro ubuntu or debian
[21:18] <rww> \l: they decided to spam the channel with nonsense
[21:19] <\l> rww: It looked like some kind of strange encoding error. Oh well.
[21:19] <Polah> ActionParsnip: Just had a thought, my MBR could be causing it. I remember setting it to 1453 manually in the past because PHP wouldn't load and I couldn't upload anything over 1kB or so
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> _luca__: there is no outright best, its also offtopic here
[21:19] <Guest71158> HAIL !
[21:19] <ajaydarez> bump
[21:19] <_luca__> k thnks
[21:20] <Polah> _luca__: Depends what you want, different things may be available for each. I believe Ubuntu may take up less drive space but is a bit more RAM heavy
[21:22] <goingtomoonbrb> So: I'm wanting a utility to change the FSB speed while the computer is running (i.e., I can't do it from my BIOS). Would any of you know of software that could do it? I've tried lsfb, but it doesn't support the Intel Core 2 Duo clock generator.
[21:22] <Galvatron> _luca_: Basically it's the same thing. There's so called "UBuntu Minimal CD" with witch you can set up a system from a scratch, like Arch.
 usb-modeswitch installed already and find th usb ID 12d1:14d1 so what next to do
[21:23] <fwaokda> if a website has a forbidden folder but not files in the folder is there a way I can see the files in the folder?
[21:23] <Galvatron> _luca_: There's also Debian Netinstall
[21:24] <Polah> ActionParsnip, I solved it. It was an MTU problem
[21:24] <\l> What did success do??
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> polah: nice :)
[21:24] <KPiN> Hello to you all.
[21:24] <coz_> hey
[21:25] <linn00b> Hey I'm having trouble with something. I think I have a repository that isn't supported any more or something and it always causes an error when I update.

[21:27] <tony_> ? what
[21:27] <linn00b> Hey I'm having trouble with something. I think I have a repository that isn't supported any more or something and it always causes an error when I update.
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> linn00b: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update

[21:28] <Guest71158> the command echo # > will force the settings without restarting the applicatoin or reconnecting the network ?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> tony_: looks funky. I see you made your OS look like Win7 etc
[21:29] <tony_> haha yah lol

[21:30] <M_3arab> ok thq :)
[21:30] <Galvatron> _luca_: As for server, you might be interested in stability oriented versions, that is Debian Stable and Ubuntu 11.04 LTS.
[21:30] <Polah> Galvatron: I don't think 11.04 is LTS
[21:30] <linn00b> Polah: the output was Error reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~nilarimogard/+archive/webup8: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
[21:30] <Galvatron> _luca_: *10.04 LTS of course.
[21:31] <linn00b> I think I just need to remove this repository
[21:31] <linn00b> how do I do that
[21:31] <Galvatron> Typo of course
[21:31] <Polah> linn00b: Hmm, I just looked it up and it certainly seems to be there
[21:31] <linn00b> O.o
[21:31] <linn00b> what is it?
[21:31] <tony_> i hate ubuntu 10.04 lts it killed my computer literly
[21:32] <linn00b> O.o
[21:32] <KPiN> lol, it looks like some apple product
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> linn00b: use software centre
[21:32] <KPiN> Ubuntu has lost its real look :)
[21:32] <something> anyone have a link to help with getting wireless cards working?
[21:32] <Polah> tony_: Probably because you made a mistake
[21:32] <tony_> nope
[21:32] <mrdeb> kpin, what do you mean
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> KPiN: use classic desktop then, you don't HAVE to use Unity
[21:33] <mrdeb> yes you do
[21:33] <mrdeb> with next one
[21:33] <tony_> i installed it anf every thing ank my comoputer had the hardest time booting and going to boot menu
[21:33] <KPiN> mrdeb the newest ubuntu's look and feel is like apple product. As if I'm using Mac, which sucks.
[21:33] <Galvatron> KPiN: Unity is heavily based on Mac OS X
[21:33] <Polah> mrdeb: Not if you have another environment installed, or install another one. You are by no means locked into using Unity.
[21:33] <KPiN> It's why I removed it
[21:33] <KPiN> Ubuntu was so damn good, but not anymore :(
[21:34] <mrdeb> yes kpin, but you can install something else
[21:34] <linn00b> ActionParsnip: I've brought it up... and I don't see anything about nilarimogard
[21:34] <tony_> i have the 10.10 didnt liek 11.04 and really didnt like 10.04
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> linn00b: its in Edit -> software sources (I believe)
[21:34] <mrdeb> ubuntu 1010 is the last classic fast ubuntu
[21:34] <openbees> KPiN: what u did to him?
[21:34] <openbees> KPin : did u beat him?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> kpin: use a different DE
[21:35] <NigelS> fwaokda: did you fix your script?
[21:35] <KPiN> I mean it's free and all that, but still.. I'm sure I'm not alone that doesn't like the ubuntu new look and feel
[21:35] <Tommy> all of the sudden my touchpad mouse won't scroll when i drag my finger along the edge, and there's no longer an option for it in the mouse settings... what the hell can i do
[21:35] <Polah> KPiN: So use a different environment.
[21:35] <Galvatron> mrdeb: I don't find it any slower than 10.10. All I had to do was downgrading the unstable/development Compiz back to stable version, via a PPA.
[21:35] <KPiN> I will
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> kpin: you aren't and it's offtopic here, this is support only
[21:36] <KPiN> I'll probably get used to FreeBSD
[21:36] <Tommy> before rebooting it worked and there was an option for it
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> kpin: why not install XFCE or KDE and stay on Ubuntu.....
[21:37] <KPiN> hmm, I can change its look and feel ActionParsnip?
[21:37] <crog> KPin: Or you could choose Ubuntu Classic when you log in.
[21:37] <rww> or GNOME Classic :\
[21:37] <rww> sorry yeah, Ubuntu
[21:37] <openbees> KPiN : i used gnome classic and i am just enjoying it . how can u say its not good
[21:37] <openbees> ?
[21:37] <Galvatron> KPiN: BSD has the same interfaces Linux has, so no need to chane the whole system.
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> kpin: you can sidestep unity and use kde
[21:37] <linn00b> Hey I''ve gone into Software sources and tried to remove this nilarimogard/webup8 business but when I perform Update Manager I still get this error about repository indexes "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webup8/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[21:37] <linn00b> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[21:38] <tensorpudding> if you want to avoid having to switch to gnome 3 for a while, you could use debian
[21:38] <Galvatron> KPiN: GNOME  is VERY customizable. It can look and work  either like KDE/Windows 7 or like Mac OS X.
[21:39] <KPiN> KDE sounds better
[21:39] <KPiN> if i wanted it to feel like win7 or mac OS i would use the original OS
[21:39] <KPiN> you know?
[21:39] <tensorpudding> gnome 2 is on the way out though
[21:39] <tensorpudding> kde 4 feels a lot like windows
[21:39] <Galvatron> KPiN: Of course I mean GNOME 2, as GNOME 3 is yet to mature.
[21:40] <openbees> ya i agree switching to gnome classic  is best thing in ubuntu 11.04 :)
[21:40] <KPiN> :DDD
[21:40] <KPiN> Very well
[21:40]  * ActionParsnip uses LXDE, not changed in sooo long :)
[21:40] <KPiN> I'm sure you all agree on me that nothing beats the classic, it has an unique feel.
[21:41] <tensorpudding> no
[21:41] <Galvatron> KPiN: KDE is a bloatware. It takes 550MB of RAM just for itself, offering a little or nothing more than GNOME.
[21:41] <tensorpudding> classic is lame
[21:41] <tony_> look at my computer it is ubuntu 10.10 and look at what it looks like windows 7
[21:41] <tony_> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/89/screenshotdhh.png/
[21:41] <KPiN> I aint worried Galvatron bro, I got 3GB DDR3 :P
[21:41] <KPiN> And none of it is being used
[21:41] <KPiN> hahaha
[21:41] <openbees> or if are a true love lover just like me wait for ubuntu 11.10 for GNOME 3 ....
[21:41] <tensorpudding> jesus
[21:41] <discostu2> is there anyway i can force ubuntu to use vga instead of my nvidia drivers? card acceleration on my 7300 is broken and would not let me boot any os gui, but it let me back into win xp once i forced vga from safe mode
[21:42] <discostu2> *force before boot
[21:42] <tensorpudding> that's acid for my eyeballs
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> galvatron: I have kde on my server, i have transmission, vlc, fatrat and samba running and its using 590Mb, which is fine
[21:42] <Galvatron> ActionParsnip: KDE 4.6.x/4.7?
[21:42] <Polah> I was under the impression that KDE was lighter than GNOME
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> galvatron: whatever is in oneiric
[21:42] <KPiN> The developers simply need to leave ubuntu in its classic feel to default
[21:43] <openbees> KPiN : love takes sacrifices my dear...
[21:43] <KPiN> if any developer is here, they'll listen to me ;p
[21:43] <rww> ActionParsnip: 4.7, I think
[21:43] <KPiN> openbees i agree
[21:43] <linn00b> If I download Xmonad, what extensions should I also get?
[21:43] <rww> KPiN: I highly doubt it.
[21:43] <tensorpudding> gnome 2 is dead
[21:43] <tensorpudding> why should ubuntu keep it alive

[21:47] <nnull> every release some new random problem to tackle lol
[21:47] <johntramp> rww: ubuntu, not that it really matters
[21:47] <rww> johntramp: please don't ask Ubuntu support questions in #debian, then. It's against their channel rules and rude.
[21:47] <nnull> and it never finishes installing my packagem just hangs tilll i kill it
[21:48] <Galvatron> discostu2: I guess nVidia-related channels mught be a better choice
[21:48] <openbees> KPiN :23 hours in my case after that i was slept :)
[21:48] <KPiN> 23 hours?? that's not alot man
[21:48] <KPiN> haha
[21:48] <tony_> has any one tryed redhat?
[21:48] <johntramp> the question isn't specific to any os, and i use both ubuntu and debian
[21:48] <JoeR1> Galvatron - Latest Nvidia driver are incompatible with my kernel, not that it matter since this problem existed before the kernel upgrade anyway
[21:48] <discostu2> Galvatron: nvidia are responsible for the drivers, not enabling and disabling them on different os preboot
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> kpin: it can be as long as you want
[21:49] <JoeR1> Galvatron, Kaffine, Mplayer, Parole and Gnome Media Player
[21:49] <openbees> nnull : i am messing with this problem too , may be this a bug in 11.04
[21:49] <luigi> What is #ubuntu-unregged ?
[21:49] <luigi> It's in the channel modes...
[21:49] <Galvatron> JoeR1: What system and kernel?
[21:50] <tony_> has anyone tryed redhat linux
[21:50] <JoeR1> Galvatron, Xubuntu - kernel 3.0.1
[21:50] <tony_> ????????????
[21:50] <rww> luigi: #ubuntu is +f #ubuntu-unregged. during spam attacks, the channel is set +r. as a result, all unregistered users are redirected to #ubuntu-unregged, where they are asked questions to demonstrate they are human
[21:50] <openbees> tony_ you are breaking hearts of ubuntu lovers :(
[21:50] <nnull> openbees, wouldnt surprise me lol
[21:50] <rww> tony_: try #rhel or #fedora
[21:50] <carestad> why does eog display .nef's in 160x120 only? is there any way to get it better or does it just suck at RAW images?
[21:50] <urlin2u> luigi, join it and read the topic. ;-)
[21:50] <tony_> lol
[21:51] <luigi> Heh, thanks both of you.
[21:51] <openbees> KPiN : but it was me who hanged not my ubuntu system :)
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> tony_: redhat is offtopic here
[21:51] <tony_> ok then
[21:51] <tony_> just wondren
[21:52] <Galvatron> JoeR1: This is strange. I have Ubuntu 11.04 running on a custom kernel 3.0.0, Pentium IV 3,GHz (Northwood, 512KB L2, HT, FSB533) and 7300GT and I can easily run a 12Mbps 108-p AVI.
[21:53] <openbees> nnull : u should try to fix it
[21:53] <w30>  /fart
[21:53] <Lockzi> Hello, I need some help with getting PHP to use the correct PCRE. Running "pcretest -C" returns PCRE version 8.13 2011-08-16. But "phpinfo();" returns PCRE Library Version	7.8 2008-09-05. Any ideas?
[21:53] <luigi> w30 lrn2 //
[21:53] <Galvatron> JoeR1: Do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[21:53] <JoeR1> Galvatron, You understand my confusion then
[21:53] <JoeR1> Galvatron, yes
[21:54] <Galvatron> JoeR1: What version of nVidia driver do you have?
[21:54] <Flannel> Lockzi: I'm not sure this is the best room for it.  Have you tried ##php?  What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[21:54] <openbees> Lockzi : offtopic try #php
[21:54] <Lockzi> Flannel: I am running 10.04 server
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> joer1: if you use the official kernel is it ok? We cannot support non-official kernels here
[21:54] <Lockzi> Flannel: openbees, I'll try there. Thanks
[21:55] <etph987> I'm running a server as a main desktop I had a raid running, became annoying and got rid of the majority of hard drives. I took out the raid pci card and now when i boot the server it takes up to 4 minutes to get to the bootloader anyone know a fix?
[21:55] <Flannel> Lockzi: I think you've added something on afterwards.  I'm on 10.04 and my pcretest returns PCRE version 7.8 2008-09-05
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> etph987: why use server as a desktop? Makes no sense
[21:55] <JoeR1> Galvatron, I have notice that MKV's seem to be more demanding then AVI's or any other format - I do not have the Nvidia drivers because they are NOT compatible with my kernel . . . or perhaps my kernel configuration, wither way they crash my kernel
[21:55] <smithy> Ola
[21:56] <etph987> ActionParsnip: only computer right now
[21:56] <Lockzi> Flannel: That is correct. I downloaded the source and compiled it. Ubuntu 11 has a higher PECR version, and there are no backports of PECR for 10.04
[21:56] <openbees> LockZi : welcome as always
[21:56] <Lockzi> openbees: IRC says #php Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited
[21:56] <etph987> ActionParsnip: buying a new laptop soon
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> joer1: I'd ask in #kernel or #linux
[21:57] <ejv> Lockzi: isn't it ##php
[21:57] <Flannel> Lockzi: So, you need to get PHP to use the compiled version.  ##php is the correct channel for that.
[21:57] <Lockzi> ejv: IRC now says ##php Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[21:57] <etph987> ActionParsnip: do i need to uninstall something related to the raid like a driver?
[21:57] <Flannel> Lockzi: You need to be registered and identified, /msg nickserv help register
[21:57] <ejv> Lockzi: well then, you know what must be done ;)
[21:57] <Galvatron> JoeR1: Then you have only the Nouveau open-source driver with a performance completely uncomparable to Forceware. I would still recommend trying 285.03 beta, and/or getting back to 11.04 if you run Oneiric.
[21:58] <tony_> i wonder if u can stick ubuntu on a ipod totch
[21:58] <Lockzi> Cool, I'll register and check with ##php - thanks all!
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> etph987: if yuo run:   lspci    then use the identifying line to find guides
[21:58] <FerretWithASpork> Hi everyone.. So I was just casually using my ubuntu desktop, and we had a big storm and the power went out.. and now it only boots into CLI >.< I had this issue not long ago when I was messing with my xorg.conf so I replaced the xorg.conf with my old working backup and it still won't start. I can't really troubleshoot at all because I don't know what the issue is; is there any way to have the system check what's broken?
[21:58] <JoeR1> ActionParsnip, I wouldn't - I don't have any kernel questions, if there is a #How-to-make-your-system-decode-MKVs-better I suppose I could join that but I highly doubt this is a kernel question or even a matter that needs GPU acceleration since my CPU should be more than strong enough
[21:59] <smithy> Ola ay alguein aii q pueda ablar español
[21:59] <tony_> redo ur computer
[21:59] <Galvatron> tony_: Once there was some distro for iPods, as far as I remember (100% not Ubuntu).
[21:59] <tomodachi> freysteinn: chech the log file for your window manager , its located under /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> joer1: it would if there is a proper vdpau module for your system, you have made your own kernel which we cannot support
[21:59] <tomodachi> freysteinn: it might contain some error you can google
[22:00] <tony_> yah it was called ipod linux or rockbox
[22:00] <JoeR1> Galvatron - I am on 11.04, and there is NO WAY i need GPU acceleration to run these file the CPU has way crazy more power then it should need for this task
[22:00] <nuborn> is there a way to drag a terminal window and drop (merge) it in Terminator?

[22:01] <Galvatron> JoeR1: Is it the same with generic kernel? Where do you have this 3.0.1 from anyways - kernel pPA or a hand-made compilation?
[22:01] <jj76541_> i got a general ubuntu question, im trying to install off a cdrom, have maybe 4 other install attempts on the grub loader, i know VERY little when it comes to linux, but ive got a message when it tries to boot that in need to clear a S20 udevtrigger file in my syslog file followed by a fail in red, anybody know how i can clear out my syslog file to do a clean install?
[22:01] <JoeR1> ActionParsnip, I installed from deb's but this is all trivial since none of my questions are about the flippin' kernel, I am asking about config option related to media player or codecs
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> etph987: 1. you only need the ONE line identifying the controller   2. Spamming the channel is not cool
[22:01] <etph987> sorry ActionParsnip
[22:02] <tony_> ubuntu is mean >:(
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> joer1: none official kernels are not supported here
[22:02] <tony_> :P
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> joer1: so it is very much a question of your kernel
[22:02] <archtux> yo hablo español pero aqui no se puede, vete a #archlinux-es
[22:02] <tony_> wtf
[22:03] <ejv> that's why i use windows tony_ ;)
[22:03] <tony_> yah but i cant get windows :(
[22:03] <tony_> :P
[22:03] <etph987> ActionParsnip couldn't see anything in the list, might be setup in an old windows partition
[22:03] <walllable> hi
[22:03] <Pici> tony_: Lets try to stay ontopic here, if you just want to chat, use #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:03] <JoeR1> ActionParsnip, you make it difficult to calm, Can I get an answer to my question and NOT the question you think I am asking here is my question - Do you know of any options in the media players or a media player that could improve playback quality?
[22:03] <tony_> lol k
[22:04] <walllable> gtg
[22:04] <ejv> it's funny, most of the software I use on windows is what i use under ubuntu, filezilla, pidgin, firefox, chrome, openoffice, etc.
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> pici: can you educate Joer1 on the policy on none official kernels please
[22:04] <etph987> ActionParsnip it just comes up with a blinking underscore for 4 minutes goes blank then comes up with the bootloader
[22:04] <JoeR1> ActionParsnip, You are a fool
[22:04] <FerretWithASpork> After a power-outage I can't get ubuntu to boot past the terminal. Is there any way to figure out what's going wrong? I recently had this happen while messing with my xorg.conf so I restored by working backup but that didn't help.
[22:04] <nnull> fixed that bug, what you do is, reinstall, remove ubuntu software centre, spit on it, and rely on apt-get like its 1999, bug fixed!
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> joer1: I think you will find, not
[22:04] <Galvatron> JoeR1: Again - is it the same with the generic kernel, and where have you taken this 3.0.1 from?
[22:05] <ejv> JoeR1: just tell them you are using the default kernel, then ask away :)
[22:05] <ejv> obligatory: http://xkcd.com/806/
[22:05] <etph987> anyone know how to install firefox 7 in ubuntu, only way i could get it working was through a shortcut, wasn't in the synaptic manager or software centre
[22:06] <FerretWithASpork> JoeR1: I'm confused.. you seem to be asking about media players and everyone's talking about kernels... If you're using VLC right click in the video window and you can choose different deinterlace modes that might make things look a bit better but there's no real way to increase the quality of a video file I don't think.
[22:06] <glebihan> etph987, you can install it via the firefox-next ppa
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> etph987: http://nwlinux.com/install-firefox-7-ubuntu-using-apt-get/
[22:06] <Polah> etph987: Look up the firefox-next ppa
[22:08] <JoeR1> Galvatron - I am going to try to remain calm so please listen and perhaps you will understand - this issue existed BEFORE I upgraded kernels when I was using the most recent Nvidia drivers and GPU acceleration was enabled, I am not going to dicsuss my kernel because it is not the question I have. I want to know if you can direct me to a media player that perhaps has a very small resource footprint or perhaps some codec related opti
[22:08] <JoeR1> ons that might improve playback quality.
[22:08] <ejv> not a single laugh
[22:08] <ejv> you surprise me #ubuntu
[22:08] <ikonia> ejv: it's not a joke channelk
[22:09] <ikonia> ejv: please keep that sort of thing out of the channel.
[22:09] <FerretWithASpork> After a power-outage I can't get ubuntu to boot past the terminal. Is there any way to figure out what's going wrong? I recently had this happen while messing with my xorg.conf so I restored by working backup but that didn't help.
[22:09] <ejv> i thought this was offtopi...
[22:09] <etph987> Polah ActionParsnip ActionParsnip thanks
[22:09] <ikonia> ejv: accidents happen
[22:10] <ejv> :) it was vaguely relevant heheh
[22:10] <ejv> poor guy wanted support on his video, and everyone was talking about his unsupported kernel hehe
[22:10] <urlin2u> FerretWithASpork, have you tried start-x at the terminal?
[22:11] <etph987> found out their getting rid of the classic gnome environment in 11.10
[22:12] <rww> etph987: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support, pleaser
[22:12] <rww> s/r$//
[22:12] <FerretWithASpork> urlin2u: I had not. That sheds some light on the issue though. It says Fatal server error: no screens found.. I have screens defined in my xorg.conf (2 actually; dual monitor setup)... please don't tell me my video card might've burnt out O,o
[22:12] <urlin2u> FerretWithASpork, actaully run as startx
[22:12] <FerretWithASpork> urlin2u: I did ;) start-x did nothing but it said to use startx
[22:13] <FerretWithASpork> also: how do I scroll up in terminal?
[22:14] <Fuchs> shift + pgUp
[22:14] <FerretWithASpork> Fuchs: thanks
[22:15] <Fuchs> no problem
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> fuchs: works in tilda too :)
[22:15] <Fuchs> possible
[22:15] <Galvatron> JoeR1: Sorry. Then I'm even more confused.
[22:16] <Khisanth> JoeR1: so you actually have 1080 AVIs? :)
[22:16] <Tommy> ActionParsnip: lol, reboot fixed my issue
[22:16] <FerretWithASpork> So I've got a message: "API Mismatch: The nvidia kernel module has version X, but the nvidia driver component has version Y." Any idea how to solve this O,o?
[22:16] <JoeR1> Galvatron, thank you for your concise amswer, to be fair I think they are mpgs
[22:16] <Tommy> for all the making fun of windows that goes on, saying a reboot fixes anything, i've had so many issues in ubuntu that're fixed by a reboot
[22:16] <nnull> ferret, install lucid? :s
[22:17] <urlin2u> FerretWithASpork, so did the driver install coincide with no boot to desktop?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> tommy: +1 nothing wrong with a reboot
[22:17] <Galvatron> JoeR1: I'm out  of ideas and dead-tired
[22:17] <rww> !gnome3 | etotheipi
[22:17] <Tommy> ActionParsnip: but these things shouldn't happen in the first place >.<
[22:17] <FerretWithASpork> urlin2u: It may have.. I recently upgraded the driver but didn't have any problems after that. This is my first reboot since then, and it was a hard shutdown thanks to the power outage.
[22:17] <rww> ... okay, screw it, I'm mistabbing all over the damn place today.
[22:18] <JoeR1> Galvatron, It appears to me that the answer to my questions lies else where so i shall spend my time investigating
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> tommy: welcome to the wonderful world of software operating systems
[22:18] <Galvatron> JoeR1: Something might be bad with codecs. Try reinstalling the whole Gstreamer + plugins.
[22:18] <urlin2u> FerretWithASpork, okay at the grub menu choose the recovery at the next gui scroll with the arrow keys to failsafe, this is a low graphic boot.
[22:19] <Gredeu-> does anyone have the mandela video that was included on a early release of ubuntu ?
[22:19] <JoeR1> Galvatron,  that seems like a worthy place to start
[22:19] <Galvatron> Anyways, I'm leaving. Cya.
[22:19] <JoeR1> goodbye
[22:20] <Gredeu-> or can someone isolate the iso it is contained on ?
[22:20] <Tommy> ActionParsnip: lol windows never made my mouse scrolling randomly stop working :|
[22:20] <Tommy> ActionParsnip: ubuntu sucks, i want a refund
[22:20] <nnull> Gredeu-,  i remember the video you speak of, don't remember which exactly it was included.. fiesty?
[22:20] <Gredeu-> unity is awesome.  for power users anyway
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> tommy: sure, I've already sent you it multplied by 100
[22:21] <Gredeu-> nnull, your guess is as good as mine.  thats better than what i had in mind, so i'll try and fetch
[22:21] <Tommy> ActionParsnip: thanks buddy, appreciated.
[22:22] <Captainkrtek> Hello, need some help with my two monitors. one displays fine, the other is listed as unknown. I'm trying to manually set the resolution manually for the second monitor via cvt but I dont see an option to specify a second monitor
[22:22] <Gredeu-> i got a more recent mainline kernel installed no problem and fglrx installed with a simple hack patch.  :)
[22:22] <urlin2u> Gredeu-, http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/06/01/the-meaning-of-ubuntu-explained-by-nelson-mandela/
[22:23] <nnull> Gredeu-, This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx0qGJCm-qU
[22:23] <Gredeu-> awesome thank you
[22:24] <urlin2u> Captainkrtek, unclick morror screens
[22:24] <Captainkrtek> urlin2u: they're not mirrored
[22:24] <urlin2u> mirror*
[22:24] <rhin0> sky news journalist (female blonde) yah such a situation
[22:24] <Gredeu-> unity launcher is very accessible once you've lined up everything you need
[22:24] <Captainkrtek> urlin2u: one is listed as unknown, as in it can't read what resolutions work for it
[22:25] <Digitial_delinqu> Hello everyone!
[22:25] <P1X3Lz> Hiya
[22:25] <urlin2u> Captainkrtek, not sure what cvt is I use the monitor gui
[22:25] <nnull> Gredeu-, Figure out how to move it from the left to the bottom of the screen any any chance?
[22:25] <Gredeu-> nnull, i keep it where it is
[22:26] <Digitial_delinqu> Recently I instantiated a copy of Ubuntu 11.04 and now stand interested to convert it to encrypted LVM absent the requisite of doing a de novo installation, does anyone have any instructions?
[22:26] <rhin0> 11.04 = ok
[22:27] <rhin0> v nice graphics driverrs very smooth
[22:27] <nnull> not sure its moveable at all, had a quick poke through gconf, no luck, but meh, im using classic anyway, i find it too slow(frame laggy) for my use
[22:27] <Digitial_delinqu> It's tha latest variant I believe (11.04)
[22:27] <rhin0> yes
[22:27] <rhin0> its the one with the unity desktop its ubuntu competes with apple
[22:27] <Digitial_delinqu> any suggestions on how best to enunciate such a conversion?
[22:27] <rhin0> its an apple desktop
[22:27] <FerretWithASpork> urlin2u: So I got it up in low graphics mode.. It looks essentially the same as in standard mode, but no compositing.. should I try to downgrade my graphics drivers?
[22:28] <Gredeu-> i have flashbacks of using mac.  it was really not as nice of an exerience as i believed it to be.
[22:28] <Khisanth> JoeR1: you might want to try the latest(not yet released) mplayer which is supposed to have multi threaded playback support so it could use both your cores instead of just one
[22:28] <urlin2u> FerretWithASpork, not sure really just trying to get you in to break it more. ;-)
[22:28] <Gredeu-> window borders were awkward.  fonts were unclear
[22:29] <Captainkrtek> urlin2u: I like to as well, but it's not working
[22:29] <JoeR1> Khisanth, That is an excellent idea, also I am looking into XBMC which has better support for very high bit rates as I understand
[22:29] <Captainkrtek> anyone know where xorg.conf is located in 11.04? I can't find it in /etc/X11, I do see a xorg.conf in my home dir but it doesn't look to be correct
[22:30] <tony_> who is ---
[22:30] <nnull> locates your friend
[22:30] <Gredeu-> i was born on mp3 so anything around an mp3 i'm fine with its never not been sufficient for me
[22:30] <tomodachi> Captainkrtek: there is usually none its all autoconf
[22:30] <urlin2u> Captainkrtek, have you run a update with the monitor plugged in, not sure if that worksd for getting a driver for it though.
[22:30] <JoeR1> Khisanth, I assume I will have to compile an mplayer beta then?
[22:30] <tomodachi> Captainkrtek: but you can create it
[22:30] <FerretWithASpork> urlin2u: Breaking linux is what i'm best at :#
[22:30] <Captainkrtek> nnull: I did, it can't find it, did updatedb before
[22:30] <Captainkrtek> urlin2u: no updates
[22:30] <tony_> WTF somw one banned mw from the offtopic one :|\
[22:30] <Captainkrtek> tomodachi: hmm thanks
[22:31] <tomodachi> Captainkrtek: just create one in /etc/X11 and it will be used , np

[22:31] <Khisanth> JoeR1: yes

[22:31] <lynx___> Does OpenOffice do block cut and paste?
[22:31] <Digitial_delinqu> does anyone stand knowledgable of how to do an encrypted LVM conversion?

[22:35] <tony_> rww banned me i figured it out :(
[22:35] <fwaokda> is there anything illegal about using a wget statement to grab pictures from a website?
[22:35] <linn00b> I need help making metacity my window manager again. I tried installing xmonad and I'm all messed up :p
[22:35] <tomodachi> fwaokda: nope
[22:35] <fwaokda> tomodachi, hehehe just seems too fun to be legal ;P
[22:36] <tomodachi> fwaokda: its no different from grabbing them manually, of course hammering a site for days could piss off some sysadmin enough to block your ip
[22:36] <Myrtti> fwaokda: depending on how aggressive your script is, admin might block you like tomodachi said
[22:37] <urlin2u> linn00b, in the session in a terminal  metacity --replace
[22:37] <linn00b> urlin2u: Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager
[22:39] <glebihan> linn00b, did you use the --replace option and still get this message ?
[22:39] <urlin2u> linn00b, you in a cli, not the desktop
[22:40] <LinuxGuy2009> I have a 1TB network attached hard drive (NAS) and it has a full trivial ubuntu repository on it. Works perfectly via ftp access with package installs over the command line and synaptic etc. Only thing that it doesn’t work with is software-center. It says "Requires installation of untrusted packages" and wont install. Is there any way of telling ubuntu that its OK to install everything found on my repository, in a simple manner? Otherw
[22:41] <urlin2u> LinuxGuy2009, any keys shown on using the terminals, as errors?
[22:41] <linn00b> I typed in 'metacity --replace' in bash.
[22:41] <LinuxGuy2009> urlin2u: pardon?
[22:41] <glebihan> LinuxGuy2009, depends what you call "simple" : you would have to sign your repo and add the key to the trusted ones
[22:42] <urlin2u> LinuxGuy2009, if you run a update do you get any errors that showl the gp keys missing?
[22:42] <LinuxGuy2009> glebihan: Ok can I use the Passwords & Encryption keys GUI to make a key and use it?
[22:42] <xunubi> Is there a way to update my current kernel without all the other bulky stuff in update-manager? (current kernel causing really slow download speeds due to issue with atheros driver on wifi)
[22:42] <LinuxGuy2009> urlin2u: Nope.
[22:42] <LinuxGuy2009> urlin2u: Its a trivial repository so there is no key for it.
[22:43] <urlin2u> LinuxGuy2009, what is the repository?
[22:43] <linn00b> can anyone help me? I just want to get rid of xmonad and go back to metacity
[22:43] <LinuxGuy2009> urlin2u: Its a full ubuntu trivial repository made from a DVD repository set.
[22:43] <Dr_Willis> linn00b:  in what way? You are using xmonad in gnome? or what exactly?
[22:44] <LinuxGuy2009> urlin2u: can install packages with terminal and synaptic perfectly. Software-ceneter does not work however. Thats what I need to fix.
[22:44] <TheEmpath2> Ubuntu server that needs to act as a Git Repo... I'm using SSH keys to ensure the user making commits and checking out is a specific person.  I was able to set this up in CentOS really easily, but Ubuntu has like 49856 different instructions... none of which are cohesive... 80% require gitosis which doesn't seem to even do something this basic easily... are there any instructions on how to set up a git server on ubuntu that doesn't re
[22:44] <TheEmpath2> quire wacky third party nonsense?
[22:44] <linn00b> Dr_Willis: yes, alongside gnome
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> linn00b:  so you login to 'gnome' from the GDM screen and its using xmonad? How did you tell it to do that?
[22:45] <linn00b> I think what did me in was this "gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string
[22:45] <linn00b> "
[22:45] <linn00b> like that
[22:45] <linn00b> but I just want to undo it :/
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> linn00b:  you could use the gconf-editor and look for that string and change it back, or just delete it..
[22:45] <LinuxGuy2009> I installed dpkg-dev and used dpkg-scanpackages to generate a Packages file and then made a Packages.gz file. Thats all there is in my repo structure. Pool and Packages.gz
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> linn00b:  or reset your gnome settings some other way.
[22:46] <linn00b> Dr_Willis: hmm... okay. I shall attempt to do that.
[22:46] <Khisanth> why not just rerun the above with xmonad replaced withe metacity? :)
[22:46] <glebihan> LinuxGuy2009, read step 3 of that guide for help on signing your repository : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptMoveHowto
[22:47] <funkyHat> TheEmpath2: I would suggest using gitolite (or gitosis, but gitolite is somewhat more featureful). The advantage of those is that you don't have to set up proper shell accounts for each user, and users are limited to only using git on your server, not having access to any command
[22:47] <Lafiir> When I start my computer I see a blinking cursor top-left for a few seconds and after that another blinking cursor some lines further down. (After that fullscreen bootlogo and so on) What are those?
[22:47] <LinuxGuy2009> glebihan: thank you
[22:47] <linn00b> Dr_Willis: when I look in config editor under /deskto/session/required_components?windowmanager its value is metacity...
[22:48] <glebihan> LinuxGuy2009, you're welcome
[22:48] <[THC]AcidRain> what channel should i ask in for people to test my site for bugs? i want full all out testing, i want them to try and hack it
[22:49] <capcook> what site?
[22:49] <nnull> [THC]AcidRain,  #backtrack-linux ?
[22:49] <[THC]AcidRain> nnull, ill check it out
[22:49] <bambanx> how can extract zip files in parts filex01.zip filex02.zip ....
[22:49] <Polah> Lafiir: the system booting up and then the splash screen from Plymouth
[22:50] <Digitial_delinqu> can anyone tell me how to convert an already installed 11.04 system to full disk encryption??
[22:50] <Digitial_delinqu> (absent a de novo installation of course)
[22:50] <tomodachi> Digitial_delinqu: i think what itold you earlier would be the easiest thing to do
[22:50] <bambanx> Guys how can extract zip files in parts filex01.zip filex02.zip ....  ?
[22:50] <TheEmpath2> FunkyHat: Gitosis has 49 forks, Gitolite has 88 forks, and neither actually work with the id_rsa.pub key I'm trying to use.
[22:50] <Digitial_delinqu> I didn't see it!
[22:50] <Lafiir> Polah: Ok, so not some boot manager waiting for something then? good
[22:51] <tomodachi> bambanx: unzip -kb   file.zip  , will unpack a file keep even if the archive isnt complete
[22:51] <rhin0> nick clegg is an asshole
[22:51] <Polah> Lafiir: No, it's just what gets shown when it's booting up but before the splash screen
[22:51] <rww> !ot | rhin0
[22:51] <rhin0> oops
[22:51] <funkyHat> TheEmpath2: tried the version in the Ubuntu repositories?
[22:51] <TheEmpath2> ya
[22:52] <Digitial_delinqu> Oh the general stuff, yeah, looking for some instructions!
[22:52] <Digitial_delinqu> recipe / cookbook kinda thing
[22:52] <TheEmpath2> funkyHat: when trying gitosis-init, i get gitosis.init.InsecureSSHKeyUsername: Username contains not allowed characters: '----'
[22:53] <gene> Greetings all; can anyone help me make an router into an access point that can talk to the rest of the system here?
[22:53] <bambanx> tomodachi dont work =(
[22:54] <bambanx> i have parts like onex01.zip onex02.zip
[22:54] <ProphetZ> I still can't install any version of Linux... Could XP or a BIOS setting be preventing it somehow?
[22:55] <glebihan> tomodachi, -kb option is for unrar, not unzip I think
[22:55] <Lafiir> Also, when logging in, it takes some 20-30 seconds until the Desktop is shown. I am not sure, but I think its considerably slower then some days ago (can't quite put it, and yes I know this is a bit vague). Anyway: what is Ubuntu doing in that time that could take so long?
[22:55] <funkyHat> TheEmpath2: if you want to try the version of gitolite from the repos I can probably help with that, as that's what I'm using (I used gitosis a while ago but have switched)
[22:55] <tony_> blaaaaa
[22:55] <tony_> opps
[22:56] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, can you boot the cd to the desktop?
[22:56] <zykotick9> bambanx, possible solution http://linux.wxs.ro/2008/07/17/how-to-extract-multi-part-zip-files-in-linux/
[22:56] <ProphetZ> urlin2u, yes.
[22:56] <Lafiir> I tried looking at syslog, but couldn't spot anything obvious (for a linux-beginner anyway)
[22:56] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, take a screen shot of the gparted partitioner in the menu and imagebin it, for us to see.
[22:57] <urlin2u> on the cd
[22:57] <pecos> hi, i want to check/set DMA access to /dev/sdx hd can i use hdaprm or i must use sdparm ?
[22:57] <glebihan> bambanx, according to unzip man page, multi-part archives are not supported yet
[22:57] <ProphetZ> Oy, that'll be difficult. I'll try.
[22:58] <zykotick9> glebihan, untested but i take it, it's possible to just cat the parts together, then unzip the combined file
[22:58] <pteague> anybody know of any software for testing network connections? trying to determine if i have a software issue or hardware issue
[22:59] <popey> pteague: iperf
[22:59] <glebihan> zykotick9, you're right, the manpage also mentions it
[22:59] <surge> is jewbuntu.com real?  My mom wants my laptop to be kosher
[23:00] <surge> I can't get the .iso to install
[23:00] <pteague> lol
[23:00] <zykotick9> glebihan, 7.10 is WAY unsupported, don't install it
[23:00] <dan_> hello i  am looking for a little advice with xubuntu 11.04
[23:00] <TheEmpath2> funkyHat: Ah, I had to hack my pub key and I think I'm moving foward with gitosis now
[23:00] <pteague> popey, thanks :)
[23:00] <funkyHat> TheEmpath2: cool :)
[23:00] <glebihan> zykotick9, what ?
[23:01] <popey> surge: 7.10 is very old, whether its genuine or not!
[23:01] <surge> i see
[23:01] <surge> i guess that's why it doesn't work
[23:01] <ansak-onepost> Q about Narwhal, grub, disks etc.: Installed Narwhal on SATA-drive 2 where SATA-drive0 contains CentOS and I think Narwhal wrote grub on drive0 that points to drive2.
[23:01] <zykotick9> glebihan, major TAB fail there, sorry
[23:01] <glebihan> zykotick9, np
[23:01] <zykotick9> surge, 7.10 is WAY unsupported, don't install it
[23:02] <ansak-onepost> When I boot of drive-0 it whirrs, spins, brings up natty off of drive-2 -- that's why I think that.
[23:02] <ansak-onepost> Reasonable?
[23:02] <prajwal> hii
[23:02] <prajwal> I am facing ussue playing flash on fullscreen
[23:02] <prajwal> the video is slow
[23:02] <prajwal> poor rendering
[23:02] <ansak-onepost> What I want: grub on drive-0 points to /boot on drive 0, boots CentOS; grub on drive-2 points to /boot on drive 2, boots narwhal.
[23:03] <zykotick9> prajwal, flash is poor on gnu/linux - especially on 64bit (with 32bit flash)
[23:03] <ansak-onepost> Is that a reasonable thing to want? Is it as simple as running grub-install in magical ways?
[23:03] <zykotick9> prajwal, not too much you can do about it though :(
[23:03] <ansak-onepost> (that i'll run off to rtfa in order to achieve)
[23:03] <prajwal> hmmm thats so bad :(
[23:03] <zykotick9> prajwal, what graphics card are you using though?  does it support drivers?
[23:04] <jdkdklll> hi to all.
[23:04] <urlin2u> ansak-onepost, the bootscript will tel you where grub is and more.
[23:04] <ansak-onepost> "the bootscript" located at... /boot/grub/grub.cfg for instance?
[23:05] <prajwal> Intel HD Graphics 3000
[23:05] <prajwal> integrated
[23:05] <zykotick9> prajwal, intel = Open Source, thus the drivers are also as good as possible
[23:05] <urlin2u> ansak-onepost, no here http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[23:05] <ansak-onepost> better. thanks... (runs off into a corner)
[23:05] <jdkdklll> ive got postfix logs saying mail has been sent from the system but i only ever use web mail never email or chat programs running in ubuntu-so sorry for stupid question what is postfix sending from my computer?
[23:06] <jdkdklll> is it something to do with firewall?
[23:06] <glebihan> jdkdklll, first question, why do you have postfix installed ?
[23:06] <prajwal> it was good in my 32 bit kubuntu
[23:06] <prajwal> but now it sucks
[23:06] <ProphetZ> Sitting at the Wheel Of Death... it usually starts up quicker than this from CD...
[23:06] <jdkdklll> no idea why it was on there
[23:07] <zykotick9> prajwal, are you now using 64bit?
[23:07] <prajwal> yes
[23:07] <Lafiir> Does Hibernate/Suspend on notebooks usually work on 11.04, like ever? I found a lot of threads with issues all over the place.
[23:07] <glebihan> jdkdklll, is it a desktop or server edition ?
[23:07] <jdkdklll> umm...
[23:07] <zykotick9> prajwal, i'm not sure why ubuntu is behind on supporting 64bit flash, even debian already has it.  Good luck.
[23:07] <jdkdklll> hold on
[23:08] <bambanx> Guys how i can complete delete a program?
[23:08] <prajwal> bambanx: purge it
[23:08] <KM0201> bambanx: sudo apt-get autoremove program_name    ?
[23:08] <glebihan> bambanx, sudo apt-get purge packagename
[23:08] <zykotick9> KM0201, autoremove?  are you sure about that?
[23:08] <glebihan> KM0201, that won't work
[23:09] <KM0201> zykotick9: i think so... i always use autoremove... guess i'm not completely removing it then
[23:09] <jdkdklll> PC postfix/master[1471]: reload -- version 2.8.2, configuration /etc/postfix
[23:09] <bambanx> if i am not sure about the exact name of the package , how can i search it ?
[23:09] <bambanx> i try which namepackage but dont find
[23:09] <ProphetZ> urlin2u, I clicked on Try, to boot the desktop from CD but now it's giving me the Spinning Wheel Of Death (Mac-ified hourglass cursor). It worked fine before I tried Install...
[23:09] <glebihan> bambanx, what is the application ?
[23:09] <zykotick9> KM0201, autoremove is a command in itself, not requiring a package name (it's to remove dependencies no longer required), it's not purge
[23:09] <bambanx> komodo
[23:09] <Aple> Hey guys, I'm trying to call an application via terminal (Sublime Text to be exact). What would be the best way to do that? Sublime Text is in /opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe
[23:10] <KM0201> hmm, maybe i'm hallucinating.. could've swore i used autoremove that way before..
[23:10] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, is it a apple computer?
[23:10] <jdkdklll> its under mail.log and mail.log1 files
[23:10] <glebihan> bambanx, try "apt-cache search komodo" to find the package name
[23:10] <zykotick9> Aple, .exe - are you calling this with wine?
[23:11] <glebihan> bambanx, how did you install it ? komodo isn't in ubuntu's repositories
[23:11] <Aple> zykotick9: No, I was just trying to add it to terminal.
[23:11] <ProphetZ> urlin2u, no!
[23:11] <Aple> So I could do something like "sublime index.html"
[23:11] <bambanx> i download the tar
[23:11] <zykotick9> Aple, but .exe is a windows program
[23:11] <Aple> And it launch Sublime
[23:11] <Aple> o rly?
[23:11] <zykotick9> Aple, mono then?
[23:12] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, what is the cpu and ram?
[23:12] <glebihan> bambanx, then unless there was an uninstall script in the tar, there's no way to uninstall it
[23:12] <bambanx> apt-cache search dont show me anything
[23:12] <bambanx> in the doc say delete de komodo folders
[23:12] <Aple> zykotick9: I'm not sure what mono is, but I can double click it and it will launch Sublime.
[23:12] <glebihan> bambanx, apt-cache won't find it as it isn't in the repos
[23:12] <bambanx> but i cannot find it
[23:13] <bambanx> exist other way to find the folders?
[23:13] <glebihan> bambanx, look for /usr/lib/komodo and /usr/share/komod maybe
[23:13] <bambanx> ok
[23:13] <jdkdklll> its got program for managing a netfilter firewall package with it so no idea if i got it whilst installing firestarter or if it came with ubuntu disc
[23:13] <zykotick9> Aple, "file /opt/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text.exe"
[23:13] <ProphetZ> 2.2ghz Celeron with only 256mb of RAM, but the desktop worked before from CD and was only using 24mb of RAM. I also have the exact same issue on a 2.8ghz Core2 Duo with 4gb of RAM.
[23:13] <glebihan> bambanx, you could also run "find / -name komodo" to find the files
[23:13] <yeats> bambanx: you could try 'sudo updatedb' and 'locate komodo'
[23:14] <jdkdklll> no that cant be right. I dont know
[23:14] <Aple> zykotick9: I'll have to type that in every time I want to launch sublime from the command line?
[23:14] <zykotick9> Aple, no, that will tell you/me what that file is
[23:14] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, your back with your dream, the de was not working with that amount that was a bad read, why are you bothering with this and us to.
[23:15] <bambanx> locate works
[23:15] <bambanx> men i have a lot of folders with komodo :S
[23:15] <ProphetZ> Celeron has XP Home SP3 and Core2 Duo has Windows 7 Ultimate. I literally can't install ANYTHING on either machine. Only booting from CD works.
[23:15] <Aple> zykotick9: It said no such file or dir
[23:16] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, run a lighter distro and get it over with or bump the ram.
[23:16] <jdkdklll> will it kill anything if i remove postfix. if its sending mail from root to root whats that? or just from root to message id 20110821163401.80608280DB9 (then computer name) to nowhere
[23:16] <scythefwd_> having issues with glx based screen savers using natty.  Anyone else having this issue... System won't wake back up after going to sleep, but only with open gl screensavers again
[23:16] <bambanx> look this pls http://pastebin.com/nK9ht9YD
[23:16] <zykotick9> Aple, ok change to the directory then "cd /opt/Sublime\ Text" then "file sublime_text.exe" or did you just make that path up?
[23:16] <ProphetZ> No distro works. I've tried six of them now.
[23:16] <pecos> what are the estimated gnu Ubuntu Linux users in the world ?
[23:16] <Aple> Ah, 1 sec
[23:16] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, have you tried puppylinux
[23:17] <Aple> It's not an .exe like I thought
[23:17] <bambanx> in console how can delete this folders?
[23:17] <ProphetZ> RAM tests OK and is within requirements. I tested on my desktop and have the same issue with 4gb of RAM.
[23:17] <Aple> zykotick9: I ran it w/o the .exe and it returned: /opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped
[23:17] <glebihan> jdkdklll, if you don't know why postfix is there you can remove it safely
[23:17] <jdkdklll> ok thanks
[23:17] <zykotick9> Aple, so it's NOT an .exe - that makes more sense
[23:17] <Aple> hehe sorry :)
[23:18] <scythefwd_> prophetz - is your HD supported by the live CD and can you view the partition setup?
[23:18] <Aple> In properties it says it's an executable and on Windows it shows up as .exe. My bad. :)
[23:18] <zykotick9> Aple, so what do you want to do with it?  man a menu entry?
[23:18] <Aple> man?
[23:18] <zykotick9> sorry s/man/make/
[23:18] <ProphetZ> urlin2u I tried that from a thumbdrive last night: Boots from the USB when commanded with F12 but will NOT pass reboot during Install to the hard drive.
[23:18] <bambanx> glebihan look this pls http://pastebin.com/nK9ht9YD
[23:18] <Aple> I'd like to set it so in terminal I can type "sublime index.html" and it pop up sublime with index.html loaded
[23:18] <Lafiir> After installing Ubuntu Disk Utility shows my main sda1 partition, a 2GB swap (sda5) and another 2GB extended (sda2). What is the last used for?
[23:18] <Aple> is that a menu entry?
[23:18] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, have you tried puppylinux
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  you would need to make a script to do that i imagine.
[23:19] <ProphetZ> urlin2u yes, see above statement.
[23:19] <Aple> o rly? It's not as simple as linking it or something?
[23:19] <glebihan> bambanx, what is that ?
[23:19] <leejohn> hi guys, I had been task to deploy a roaming profile like on linux and it's going great now i'm going to throw kerberos on the fix for SSO but it's really a great pain
[23:19] <zykotick9> Aple, not exactly - the problem is you'd have to be in the same directory as index.html - just add the /opt/Sublime\ Text\ 2 to your PATH - .bashrc can be used for this.
[23:19] <bambanx> is the folders with komodo
[23:19] <Aple> Seems like I should be able to ask Terminal to open a program with a file
[23:19] <leejohn> on the mix
[23:19] <scythefwd_> the extended is just a second type of partition.  You can have up to 4 primary partitions, and each primary can have an extended partition...
[23:19] <bambanx> how can i delete it on console
[23:19] <bambanx> sudo rm -r ?
[23:19] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, okay with puppy you have to install the bootloader on the install.
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  what/where is this command from anyway?   paths with spaces in the name.. are going to be annoying :)
[23:20] <zykotick9> Aple, you won't need the \ when you add it to your PATH (i don't think)
[23:20] <glebihan> bambanx, what command did give you that output ?
[23:20] <Aple> I'll wrap in quotes when I add to bashrc
[23:20] <pteague> hmm... is the memtest86+ on the *buntu discs unable to check ddr3 ram?
[23:20] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  be easier to just movce it to /opt/SiblimeText2 :)
[23:20] <zelozelos> anyone know why the mouse pointer dosent change when i change it by editing the theme's pointer?  it did work at first but now its not again, it will change if i edit the index.theme file but i dont want to have to do that every time i change mouse pointers
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> may want to keep it all lower case also. just to save on issues later.
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> zelozelos:  ive seen it not change till yuou log out/back in. some apps wont see the change, so will show the old pointer untill they get restarted.
[23:21] <froes> hi guys... i am using 10.10 ... wanted to upgrade .... shouold i use aptitude safe-upgrade or aptitude full-upgrade   ?
[23:21] <zykotick9> zelozelos, most likely culprit is compiz - see if disabling compiz corrects the pointer issue (i don't know a real solution)
[23:21] <ProphetZ> scythefwd_, the one in the desktop is supported, unsure about the laptop, but it's a Dell so I'd be very surprised if it wasn't. I'm trying to boot from CD and view the partitions again but nothing is working since I tried Install.
[23:21] <rww> !upgrade | froes
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> froes:  you mean upgrade to the next release?
[23:21] <rww> froes: (neither)
[23:22] <bambanx> locate komodo glebihan
[23:22] <dageriv> help me play silverlight content in firefox? moonlight plugin was not compatible with my firefox 6.0
[23:22] <Aple> Dr_Willis: Moved ;)
[23:22] <Dr_Willis> dageriv:  so it used to work in FF5 ?
[23:22] <dageriv> Dr_Willis: no, never tried
[23:22] <zykotick9> bambanx, did you run "make install" to install this?  If so, in future, use checkinstall instead - then uninstall is easy.
[23:22] <Aple> Dr_Willis: Time to add it to my path in bashrc
[23:22] <froes> Dr_Willis, yeap
[23:22] <Dr_Willis> dageriv:  so what are you trying to play exactgly?
[23:23] <bambanx> sh install
[23:23] <froes> Dr_Willis, next release 11.04
[23:23] <zelozelos> Dr_Willis, thats true, and zykotick9 thats true as well, it IS probably compiz causing the issues, i wish it would get fixed...heh its been around long enough to be corrected by now
[23:23] <dageriv> Dr_Willis: its a radio stream, which is silverlight
[23:23] <Dr_Willis> dageriv:  if it has DRM protection it wont work in Moonlight.
[23:23] <glebihan> bambanx, that output is weird...
[23:23] <Aple> Anyone know the command to add something to PATH via .bashrc?
[23:23] <zykotick9> mono/moolight = FAIL
[23:24] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  if you want it permenant.. you edit the .bashrc or .profile as needed
[23:24] <zykotick9> Aple, you edit the .bashrc, it's not a command
[23:24] <Aple> Right, sorry, I meant the "snippet"
[23:24] <Aple> Or "line of code"
[23:24] <Aple> export right?
[23:24] <Dr_Willis> theres a example in the file Aple  i belive
[23:25] <froes> Dr_Willis, next release 11.04
[23:25] <bambanx> what you mean glebihan
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> froes:  then you use the proper update tool. Not aptitude, or apt-get...
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | froes
[23:25] <froes> is this the one i should use ???  sudo do-release-upgrade   ??
[23:25] <Aple> Dr_Willis: I didn't see one.
[23:25] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis, would be nice if there was a PATH example, i don't have one
[23:26] <Dr_Willis> # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
[23:26] <Dr_Willis>  PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
[23:26] <glebihan> bambanx, well it doesn't look like a simple list of files, there are also all those "ln -s ..." and I don't know what there's doing there
[23:26] <bambanx> ok
[23:26] <urlin2u> froes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades
[23:27] <Dr_Willis> PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH:/newstuff/here"
[23:27] <zykotick9> Aple, looks like Dr_Willis found that in .profile not .bashrc
[23:27] <Dr_Willis> or similer. :)
[23:27] <ProphetZ> How can I tell if the bootloader has been properly installed to sda0?
[23:27] <urlin2u> ProphetZ, in puppy?
[23:27] <zykotick9> ProphetZ, do you really want the bootloader on the partition?  ususally it goes on the MBR
[23:27] <Dr_Willis> ProphetZ:  sda0 ? never seen one with a 0...
[23:28] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis, even better observation
[23:28] <Aple> Don't think I have a .profile
[23:29] <Aple> nm, there it is
[23:29] <ProphetZ> Oh... I may be remembering wrong. I'm still trying to boot from CD again (third disk, a known good Ubuntu 11.04 this time)
[23:29] <froes> is this the one i should use ???  sudo do-release-upgrade   ??
[23:29] <Aple> Yeah, thanks
[23:29] <froes> well... do anyone knows anything about upgrading this by command line ?????
[23:29] <urlin2u> froes, are you headless=no DE
[23:30] <Aple> Dr_Willis: Now, could I symlink Sublime to ~/bin and for that matter, any app, and they be in the path?
[23:30] <scythefwd_> zyko - He may be dual booting and not want the boot loader in the MBR to keep from screwing up a windows 7 install?
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  unless the app needs to be ran from its own dir...
[23:30] <zykotick9> urlin2u, headless means no monitor, not no DE
[23:30] <Aple> Ah, I see.
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  you can try it and see
[23:30] <ProphetZ> Maybe the CD drive is failing? Awfully noisy seeking all over...
[23:30] <Aple> Think I will. Thanks Dr_Willis
[23:30] <Krenair> Can you use the classic desktop in 11.10?
[23:30] <froes> urlin2u, yeap
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> Krenair:  its being removed.
[23:31] <zykotick9> Krenair, nope - they're removing it
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> Krenair:  its there now.. but it is scheduled to be removed
[23:31] <freezway> so why does my ubuntu cd not show up when i look at the boot options on my friends macbook
[23:31] <ProphetZ> But no, because the desktop does the same thing... Ubuntu is loading now. I will post drive screenshot.
[23:31] <Krenair> So you can't even install it from the package manager?
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> Krenair:  its there now.. but it is scheduled to be removed.......
[23:32] <Dr_Willis> Krenair:  i imagine in after gnome-shell gets commonly used. there will be themes/things for it to make it look like classic/old gnome.
[23:32] <zykotick9> Krenair, classic is being replaced with Unity 2D - if you want gnome start looking for another distro...
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> Gnome2 you mean.. :) any sort of  classic gnome is basically going to be gnome-3 modified.
[23:33] <ProphetZ> I didn't like the Unity desktop, incidentally. Gnome seemed more sensible.
[23:33] <bambanx> how can i see a log of my console ?
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> ProphetZ:  theres alternatie desktops.
[23:33] <bambanx> of what i was writed
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> bambanx:  log of what exactly?
[23:33] <zykotick9> bambanx, "history"
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> you mean your command history bambanx >
[23:33] <bambanx> yes
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> bambanx:  history command... :)
[23:34] <bambanx> and output
[23:34] <Dr_Willis> one of those hard to rember commands... Outpyt is another thing entirely.
[23:34] <zykotick9> bambanx, i don't think there is a log of output as well
[23:34] <Dr_Willis> typescript can record a log of your terminal session.
[23:34] <bambanx> i install a program and i dont remember some things
[23:34] <bambanx> so i wanna see again
[23:35] <Aple> Dr_Willis: Apparently sublime needs to run from it's own dir. :)
[23:35] <Aple> Opens, but with a billion warnings
[23:35] <iceroot_> how to see the dependencies from a (not) installed package without using packages.ubuntu.com? i need some apt-get/aptitude stuff
[23:36] <zykotick9> iceroot_, "apt-cache depends foo" or "apt-cache rdpends foo" for the reverse
[23:36] <edbian> iceroot_: aptitude show <packageName>
[23:37] <zykotick9> edbian, aptitude - showing your debian strips again ;)
[23:37] <iceroot_> zykotick9: edbian thank you
 Gnome2 you mean.. :) any sort of  classic gnome is basically going to be gnome-3 modified.
[23:37] <edbian> iceroot_: My solution does not show the entire dependency tree
[23:37] <edbian> zykotick9: :)
[23:37] <Krenair> I don't mind as long as it behaves and looks exactly like 10.04/10.10 defaults
[23:37] <Krenair> All I want to know is if it's worth continuing with running ubuntu.
[23:38] <zykotick9> Krenair, 11.04 will by your last Ubuntu with an appearance like 10.04/10.10
[23:38] <Krenair> I used to run 10.10. Then I switched to 11.04. Didn't like it so went back to 10.04.
[23:38] <Krenair> If 11.10 wont be allowing classic desktop like 11.04 does then it's not an option for me.
[23:39] <iceroot_> zykotick9: apt-cache depends vim is showing vim-common which depends on libc6 but apt-cache depends is not showing libc6. i want the full dependency-tree
[23:39] <nnull> Krenair, im sure the devs will take that into consideration. :)
[23:39] <zykotick9> iceroot_, sorry that i don't know
[23:39] <urlin2u> Krenair, have you tried xfce?
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> Krenair:  its never going to be exactly..
[23:39] <ProphetZ> Good lord, 100mhz RAM... Good thing all I want is a sacrificial lamb.
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> i imgine in a year there will be very few distors with gnome2 any more.
[23:39] <urlin2u> aka xubuntu
[23:40] <rww> Krenair: GNOME 2 is dead. Clinging to it is just going to end with you getting frustrated and eventually switching anyway.
[23:40] <Krenair> I'm not clinging to gnome 2, I want the look/behaviour it provides
[23:40] <urlin2u> stella,stella
[23:40] <edbian> Krenair: check out xfce
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> Krenair:  all i can say is try other desktops...   gnome2 is really lacking in many ways once you broden your horizions
[23:41] <rww> Krenair: 11.04 has classic, 11.10 and above will have GNOME 3 Fallback. They're not exactly perfect replications, but it's the closest I know of.
[23:41] <Phr3d13> has a tool ever been made to defrag an ntfs drive from ubuntu?
[23:41] <Aple> Dr_Willis: I can't get this working. :(
[23:41] <freezway> how can i get a macbook to boot from a ubuntu cd
[23:41] <Krenair> Dr_Willis, I care not for gnome2 but for the ubuntu classic desktop which it supports.
[23:42] <scythefwd_> anyone know if there is a way to make the boot loader menu prettier... seriously, this is 2011, we really don't need plain test menus any more
[23:42] <Krenair> If gnome3 can support the look/feel of ubuntu classic then it should be fine
[23:42] <Dr_Willis> Krenair:  the classic desktop is not identical to gnome2 either..
[23:42] <tensorpudding> gnome 3 won't support it
[23:42] <tensorpudding> gnome 3 is changing a lot of things
[23:42] <Dr_Willis> there will no doubt be gnome-2 type themes for gnome-3 - it wont be identical i imagine
[23:42] <tensorpudding> it's the biggest change to gnome ever
[23:42] <zykotick9> tensorpudding, i find gnome3 fallback "similar" to gnome2
[23:42] <rww> Dr_Willis: yeah, that's the ironic thing. Ubuntu GNOME 2 is notably different from upstream GNOME 2 :\
[23:42] <Aple> Dr_Willis: I've added export PATH=/opt/SublimeText2:$PATH to .profile. Sourced .bashrc, and sublime_text command does nothing.
[23:43] <me-alone> hi...how is ubuntu support for ARM..??
[23:43] <rww> as I understand it, Fallback and Shell in oneiric are going to be more upstream
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  chedk your path.  try which sublime_text
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> Aple:  and you may need to export PATH   and sourceing your .bashrc can often  get redundant entries in the PATH
[23:44] <Aple> Dr_Willis: Oh crap. Was sourcing bashrc, not profile
[23:44] <Aple> Got it working, but it's still throwing errors out the wahzoo
[23:45] <Aple>  Gtk-WARNING's
[23:45] <Aple> Failed to load type module
[23:46] <Aple> Seems to throw those anyway. Huh...
[23:46] <Aple> Sonufabitch
[23:46] <Dr_Willis> Aple:   now try cding into that bins directory. It MIGHT need to be ran from its own home dir.
[23:47] <MagicJ> I have a system with an internal mic and also a socket for a mic, it is a netbook.  for some reason when I go to the sound options it only offers me the internal sound card as inoput - how do I select the mics
[23:47] <Dr_Willis> cd /opt/siblimetext2     then run 'sublime_text' not ./sublime_text   :)  see if either one works or both
[23:48] <Phr3d13> has a tool ever been made to defrag an ntfs drive from ubuntu?
[23:48] <edbian> Phr3d13: No
[23:48] <Dr_Willis> if sublime_text works after you cd.. well you may need to  ake a script to allow running it from anywehre
[23:48] <ansak-onepost> urlin2u, so the boot info script told me what I wanted, or rather began to.
[23:48] <urlin2u> Phr3d13, any windows disk can start one though.
[23:49] <urlin2u> ansak-onepost, cool an excellent tool. ;-)
[23:49] <ansak-onepost> urlin2u, yes, well i'm not home-n-dry yet.
[23:49] <urlin2u> ansak-onepost, pastebin it if needed>
[23:50] <Phr3d13> edbian, urlin2u, ty
[23:50] <zykotick9> ansak-onepost, "home free" + "high-n-dry" = "home-n-dry" i like it ;)
[23:50] <ansak-onepost> urlin2u, <wheels grinding, trying to recognize this 'pastebin' thang>
[23:50] <zykotick9> !paste > ansak-onepost
[23:50] <ansak-onepost> ansak decides he really is a rank newbie on irc....
[23:51] <zykotick9> !paste | ansak-onepost
[23:53] <ansak-onepost> zykotick9, thx
[23:54] <ansak-onepost> urlin2u, thing pasted...
[23:54] <zykotick9> ansak-onepost,  you need to give us the URL
[23:54] <ansak-onepost> like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/672007/
[23:54] <ansak-onepost> ?
[23:54] <zykotick9> ansak-onepost, there you go :)
[23:54] <drag0nz> anyone here managed to use Unity on the latest ubuntu on vmware?
[23:55] <urlin2u> ansak-onepost, all the text from the RESULTS.txt
[23:55] <ansak-onepost> <parallel process looking at info grub>
[23:55] <ansak-onepost> urlin2u, coming right up...
[23:55] <zykotick9> drag0nz, not possible
[23:55] <del> I'm trying to upgrade 9.04 jaunty, but not working.  do-release-upgrade complains "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool."
[23:55] <drag0nz> zykes-, is there a reason why its not possible?
[23:55] <del> Is there anything I can do?
[23:55] <drag0nz> zykotick9
[23:56] <rww> del: you need to go through karmic. see the EOLUpgrade link:
[23:56] <rww> !eol
[23:56] <urlin2u> del, hard road past end of life.
[23:56] <zykotick9> drag0nz, yes, vmware doesn't have the 3d support required for it
[23:56] <tensorpudding> del: you would need to upgrade to karmic
[23:56] <urlin2u> del, 9.10 as well
[23:56] <zykotick9> drag0nz, vbox does, but it's FAR from perfect
[23:56] <Aple> Dr_Willis: I did. It sucks.
[23:56] <tensorpudding> del: karmic isn't supported anymore though
[23:56] <tensorpudding> i don't think
[23:56] <urlin2u> nope
[23:56] <drag0nz> zykotick9, so its an issue with vmware then, no matter how many resources you allocated to the virtual machine?
[23:56] <tensorpudding> del: non-LTS releases aren't supported very long
[23:57] <Dr_Willis> !karmic
[23:57] <zykotick9> drag0nz, you aren't going to get it working, period.  As i said, VBox has better support for it.
[23:57] <del> So this system is hosed?
[23:58] <rww> del: no, follow the instructions I had ubottu link you to
[23:58] <Guest12947> Hello
[23:58] <del> How can I upgrade to karmic?
[23:58] <Dr_Willis> del:  you have to upgrade to the next release and so on till you get to a LTS release - then you can go LTS to LTS.
[23:59] <wilder> Anybody formillar with running COD black ops in 10.10
[23:59] <ansak-onepost> http://paste.ubuntu.com/672014/
[23:59] <Dr_Willis> if the release is so old its EOL> you may need to cahnge your sources.list to point to the archive servers like the !EOL factoid says
[23:59] <japan> can anybody helps me about xampp, i installed,sterted it, but in browser it doesnt open localhost, it says page not exist

[23:59] <Guest12947> Good evening!  (or good morning, etc, depending on where you are!)   I'm wondering who/where to ask about getting help with a samba problem?
[23:59] <ansak-onepost> urlin2u, that file was bigger than the last time -- silly me, trying to paste it page-by-page from a root vim session.
[23:59] <Dr_Willis> Guest12947:  just ask in here.. you may want to pick a real nick also.
