watchedmanyeats: indeed!00:04
davfDoes anyone know why ubuntu server pauses for about 10 seconds before displaying anything? Is there a way to turn that off so I can see the boot messages immediately throughout the boot process?00:04
yeatswatchedman: you can do 'Alt-F4' to see the log messages00:04
watchedmannice, already used Alt-F2 once in this process, I'm really getting a feel for the installer00:04
yeatswatchedman: I found that the 64-bit alt installer for 11.04 has a bug that prevents installation of the full GNOME desktop - but you can install a base system and do 'sudo tasksel' to finish the job after installation00:05
watchedmanyeats: that's good enough for me! I'll give it a go00:05

BullSharkyeats -> try adding a ppa for ffmpeg or go to their site and see their recommended way for ubuntu00:21

volga629<BullShark: where  I can find ppa for ffmpeg ?00:25
BullSharkalex-- -> highlight some text, move your cursor where you want to paste it and do a middle mouse click or something that simulates one00:25
alex--BullShark: why should I want this?00:25
BullSharkvolga629 -> possibly, you just have to search00:25

Polahbsmith093, in most cases probably not. The MD5 sum is generated by the file's content whereas a file name is actually just a pointer to the actual data00:48
PolahGredeu: Nothing, it will just run at a constant speed00:48
hylianGredeu, Cpufreqd is a small utility developed to assist CPU frequency and voltage scaling, a technology used primarily by notebooks which enables the OS to scale the CPU speed and voltage up or down00:48

billybigrigger_tr3nton, you can ask the package maintainer to update the package00:56
YakoozaBillybigrigger, I see the file, but it does not allow me to access it due to a lack of permissions00:56
hylianYakooza, if you know your way around your file structure, then in alt f2, you can type gksu nautilus, followed by your password. just out of curiosity, why do you want access to that folder?00:56

guest09230932also i dont see any wlan0 anywhere01:06
urlin2uawakecoding, use the recovery at the grub menu and choose failsafe at the next gui01:06
urlin2uawakecoding, it will start x but in low graphics01:07
alex--urlin2u: i dont like the normal behave of unity, so I'm tweaking it01:07
awakecodingurlin2u: even that seems to crash, I get  a black screen. isn't there a way to simply avoid launching X completely?01:08
jamiewanYakooza: i think your data is gone, partitioning can get messy if u not sure whats going on, i would reinstall windows first, if you need it, thats the golden rule, then ubuntu afterwards, this ensures grub doesnt get wiped, follow the dialogs carefully, and you can allocate swap when it asks you, very easy01:08
bazhang!nox | awakecoding01:08
ubottuawakecoding: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode01:08

qqqqqHeGuru: oh in that case there's no chance03:02
HeGurubonhoffer: well I kno network manager uses /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf but can't help you past that. If this is not a laptop and you won't be moving it across networks maybe disable networkmanager and use /etc/network/interfaces03:02

LocoenelCocoin this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 the guys says that if we are going to configure the wireless network manually (for static ips) we need to uninstall the network manager, the thread is from 2007 id like to know if its true still?03:34

jameswtrying to get my dev box up03:35
bonhoffermy ubuntu is often freezing up -- not crashing but i have to wait 2 minutes to move anything on the screen03:35
bonhoffertotal mouse control03:35
LocoenelCocoHeGuru, ok so i can configure in the terminal and connect with the network applet it wont overwrite the congifuration i made?03:35
bonhofferbut i can't switch windows for example03:35
HeGuruLocoenelCoco: no, you can use network manager and configure a static ip (nm now supports manual configuration)03:36
LocoenelCocoHeGuru, yeah but can i configure it in the shell? nm wont use auto dhcp instead of the configuration ive made?03:38
bonhofferany tips to fix this -- it is pretty much a show-stopper03:38
jameswis there an irc channel for ubuntu advantage?03:38
jameswi will be working in that department03:39
LocoenelCocoanyway i can do a $dhclient <interface>03:39
LocoenelCocono need nm03:39
HeGuruLocoenelCoco: For that just delete the interface from NM, if its in nm and configured to use dhcp it will use dhcp. However you can now remove interfaces from nm03:39
LocoenelCocoi c03:40
rhizmoebonhoffer: since when?03:40
LocoenelCocoHeGuru, if i change the configuration on the shell it will change on the nm too?03:42
HeGuruLocoenelCoco: no it wont03:42

bonhoffer^^ rhizmoe03:42
LocoenelCocook ty HeGuru03:43
LocoenelCocoi will try03:43

bonhofferHeGuru: oh, well i killed the compiz pids03:49
bonhofferhow do i get back to gui?03:49

Zungothe freezeing04:28
ActionParsnipZungo: the apps run in RAM including the OS, if the RAM is bad it may cause freezing04:28
debug_kov`: try copying the /dev/mapper device files to take an image of the LVMs (LVMs are stored here instead of the typical sd?/hd? drive devices)04:28

sjihsHi, I have installed the kernel sources using "apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)". Would like to know how i can get the .config used to compile the sources?04:34
ActionParsnip!kernel | sjihs04:35
ubottusjihs: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)04:35
Zungoyeah, but i believe that is more graphics related than a memory iusse, ActionParsnip04:35
dalmoany idea why im getting "error while moving" - error moving file: permisson denied? when i try moving a file into a folder04:35
sjihsActionParsnip: I wanted to use oprofile application. This requires a vmlinux (not a vmlinuz). Hence recompiling the kernel to get a vmlinux image.04:35
HeGurusjihs: run make menuconfig in kernel sources folder04:35
bastidrazordalmo: your user does not have the required permissions to write to the destination folder04:36
=== cubb` is now known as lonewulf`
gaelfxActionParsnip: well, I remember someone telling me I can put a recovery disc in there and I would be able to boot it up from the grub boot loader, but I don't know how to make that work? Would I just put an .iso in there? Or is it more complicated?04:36
sjihsHeGuru: Yes, but then the resulting .config file may not match with the .config used to compile the kernel that comes with ubuntu04:36
dalmobastidrazor: what can i do?04:36
bastidrazordalmo: what are you trying to do? copy what to where?04:36
sjihsThe config.gz entry in /proc does not seem to there04:37
dalmobastidrazor: using awesome WM, trying to install a theme04:37
theadmindalmo: Just try to do it as root04:37
HeGurusjihs: to use existing config copy /boot/config-2.6.<your kernel version> to .config in kernel sources04:37
dalmotheadmin: how would i do that?04:37
HeGurusjihs: then run make oldconfig04:37
sjihsHeGuru: ok04:37
theadmin!sudo | dalmo04:37
ubottudalmo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo04:37
ActionParsnipsjihs: that's fine, the guide is there04:38
sjihsHeGuru: thanks. Thats exactly what i needed04:38
ActionParsnipYou can reinstate grub from the liveCD if that's what you need04:39

tarfartHeGuru: what is the name of the command ?04:48
tarfartnvidia-xconfig ?04:48
HeGurunvidia-settings04:48
theadmintarfart: No, that just generates a standard xorg.conf to use with nvidia... To tweak it you need to use nvidia-settings04:48

ActionParsnip!cron | chipmonk instead of asking, why not RESEARCH and find out05:05
ubottuchipmonk instead of asking, why not RESEARCH and find out: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm05:05

chipmonkam reading newbie intro to cron as we speak05:05
ActionParsnipchipmonk: good :)05:06
chipmonkthx actionparsnip05:06
chipmonkhad never heard of it05:06
Doonzok with lvm's if they span two disk's and one disk crashes the entire lvm is lost correct05:06

tarfartDoes X use xorg.conf anymore?  Is that how I save my nvidia-settings?05:06
ActionParsnipDoonz: as far as I know, yes. But backups will save you05:06
tarfartI want my nvidia-settings persistant after I reboot.05:07
ActionParsniptarfart: it can if one is present05:07
Doonzyeah but trying to minimized restoring 100tb of data05:07
SIFTUDoonz: yeah it will.. but doesnt your iscsi target run some kind of raid?05:07
ActionParsniptarfart: if you run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings     you can then setup the display ad click "Save to X config file" and the setting will stick05:07
Doonzyeah but what happens to the iscsi link say if the switch craters?05:08
ActionParsnipDoonz: which is disposable to you, right?05:08
DoonzActionParsnip: yeah but the hours of restoring isnt05:08
ActionParsnipDoonz: no backup == data has zero value05:08
ActionParsnipDoonz: sadly, drives fail dude05:08
SIFTUDoonz: well yes you would lose your disk if you dont have redundant switching in place05:09
DoonzSIFTU: ok05:09
cvalerohi05:09
SIFTUDoonz: saying that, most places would run dual switches, and a good RAID on the SAN05:10
Doonzyeah the san will be raided05:10
Doonzim just more looking at the lvm side of things05:10
SIFTUwell lvm would work like a stripe (RAID0) with multiple iscsi luns05:10

ActionParsnipDuolos: what site(s), I may be ableto advise05:42
DuolosNearly any site that uses non-flash video05:42
ActionParsnipDuolos: can you give an example please05:43
ActionParsnipDuolos: I can see what plugin is then used05:46
DuolosActionParsnip: Sorry, it's embedded as "shockwave-flash"05:46
ActionParsnipDuolos: can you give a pastebin of:   uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep "flash|gnash|swf"05:47
Duoloshttp://pastebin.com/5VdPBV7p05:48
ActionParsnipDuolos: how did you install flash?05:49
DuolosI didn't.05:49
DuolosAt least, I don't remember doing so.  I know that Chrome has the plugin built-in05:49
ActionParsnipDuolos: then run:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer05:49
ActionParsnipDuolos: will give 64bit flash, should be fine :)05:50

Gredeutrustable05:51
Duolos...says the anonymous random guy on the internet lol05:51
ActionParsnipDuolos: its the name of a PPA holding the very latest 64bit flash05:52

delronhmmph06:08
tanathdelron, i'm not clear on what visible functions are handled by gdm06:08
tanathmukti, sounds like it, yes. it happens for some things06:09
tanathmukti, used to only happen when there was actually something to display to the user though...06:09
delronidk how configurable it is either, i usually disable it entirely06:09
tanathdelron, you don't run X?06:10
muktitanath: What does it mean? When i searched it on google, I just kept getting results about the Debian conference, Debconf06:10
ActionParsnipmukti: what is the output of:  lsb_release -c06:10
delronmukti: Gordon is probaly hacking into ur puter u might need to firewall him06:10
tanathmukti, debconf is "a configuration management system for debian packages. Packages use Debconf to ask questions when they are installed."06:11
tanathmukti, "apt-cache show debconf"06:11
delronwow no wonder these chips are so stale...06:12

muktiActionParsnip: natty06:13

lorddeltaMy Windows XP install running inside Virtual Box inside Ubuntu runs better than my Ubuntu X_X06:15
ActionParsnipmukti: just let it fly for now, if its during updates/installs then itsok, if you get it randomly then I'd review the situation06:15
lorddeltaSo obviously there is something seriously wrong with my ubuntu performance.06:15
tanathmukti, it's likely due to enabling security updates to automatically install, which will sometimes cause debconf to run06:15
lorddeltaAny help would be appreciated.06:15
ActionParsniplorddelta: what CPU/ RAM / Video chip do you use?06:15
ActionParsniplorddelta: and what is the output of:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release06:16
muktiActionParsnip: I think it is installs that I am doing06:16
tanathlorddelta, vbox is an app you're running on ubuntu, so it would seem to be app-dependent then, no?06:16
Nicoluswhat does tar -x $< mean ? I know $ is the command prompt... but what is < ?06:16
muktihas anyone used hdaps on a on a thinkpad T420?06:17
ActionParsnipNicolus: it usually redirects some input in, not see it with tar though06:17
ActionParsnipNicolus: usually you'd use:  tar xvf filename.tar06:17
ActionParsnipNicolus: or you can abstract ALL extractions and use unp ;)06:18
lorddeltatanath: perhaps? The Windows XP is running ~200 MB, three programs or so, out of 1 GB alloted to the VM. 2 GB total available. I have a browser that...might be part of the issue, its running at ~400-600 MB, the OS doesn't seem to want to go under 400 MB.06:18
Nicolusok sorry that was tar -xjf $<06:18

lorddeltahuh...ok apparently its not. Lots of errors, the X Server settings dialog came up anyhow.06:24
ActionParsniplorddelta: I've ran a full gnome + compiz install on a lot less than that with a 6150LE onboard nvidia just fine06:24
ActionParsniplorddelta: then I suggest you look into that, probably why it's slow06:24
lorddeltaActionParsnip: So, errors, but a dialog appeared, and the Additional Drivers seem to indicate that I've got the NVidia drivers installed...yeah will do.06:25
ActionParsnipmukti: ok let updates finish, then reboot. Use the OS as normal to see if t still happens06:25

soreautanath: Not necessarily..06:40
tanathsoreau, links are better06:40
Duolosgeirha: Yeah, it HAS flash, but an old version of it, apparently.  I've very confused myself.06:40
soreauDuolos: tanath: Well technically, we don't support chrome here since it's not in official repos06:40
lorddeltaActionParsnip: Hmm...did what you suggested. Still on start, just with awn, pidgin, and gnome-system-monitor started I'm at like 600 MB06:41
Duolos*sigh*06:41
tanathsoreau, chrome has features chromium lacks. and ubuntu benefits from google, so i wouldn't be hard-line on that06:41

lorddeltaActionParsnip: Screen goes black and fails to...re-blit? That's what it looks like, stuff doesn't erase, I log back out and back in and it works...06:42
muktiIs there a proper place to "install" an application when you obtain the tar.bz/tar.bz2/tar/etc. file ?06:42
Blue1AMD: if there is one made for linux, probably.06:42
tanathDuolos, my chrome sees flash  Version: 10.3.18306:42
Duoloslol I get that it's not "supported" but I thought there would be other users here that like to use the software THEY choose, not what Canonical "supports" lol06:42
Duolostanath: Yeah... apparently YouTube is now asking for version 13-something06:42
tanathzuh?06:43
Blue1mukti: the usual place would be /usr/local/bin06:43
tanathlast i heard of was like v1106:43
sternahey there06:43
tanathDuolos, and youtube WFM06:43
sternahow do i make grub not show the menu after a crash?06:43
soreausterna: what?06:43
sternai have a sort of "embedded" thing that always brings up a grub menu when it loses power06:43
Blue1sterna: that makes no sense06:44
sternabut if i reboot normally, it does not06:44
lorddeltaActionParsnip: Oh well I guess I'll try fiddling more with the vid drivers. Thanks for your help anyhow. =/06:44
tanathDuolos, mine's finding flash plugin here: /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so06:44
Duoloshmmm I must have seen that wrong06:44
DuolosEither way, YouTube is saying that I must update my flash plugin to view the videos.  about:plugins doesn't show any Flash entry at all.06:44
ActionParsniptanath: chromium is the open source which is used in snapshot to make chrome06:44
ActionParsniptanath: so chromium will have alpha features not in chrome :)06:44
tanathActionParsnip, i know. google rebrands chromium and adds a few features06:44
tanathActionParsnip, i know. i've used both for a long time06:44
muktiBlue1: So when I get a tar/gzip/tar.bz/etc. file I can just put it in there, and extract it?06:44
DuolosHowever, apt shows I have both flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree installed already.06:44
ActionParsniptanath: me too, i use the daily build06:44
soreausterna: Maybe ask in #grub? This is the first I've heard of such a 'feature'06:45
sternaok06:45
tanathActionParsnip, i used to... but chromium will apparently never have certain features of chrome, so i can handle delayed features and more stability06:45
Blue1mukti: no you would extract the tar there06:45
stername too, that's why i'm quite confused06:45
sternait doesn't seem to be documented anywhere06:45
Blue1mukti: private message ok?06:45
DuolosActionParsnip: Chromium will never feature the syncing features of Chrome.06:45
muktiBlue1: yeah06:45
ActionParsniptanath: i like the newer features, gets exciting after a new upgrade what newness will pop up06:45
geirhaDuolos: You'll need to copy/symlink the flash .so file to where google-chrome expects it. I'm sure there's alot of guides out there on how to do that.06:46
ActionParsnipDuolos: it could with an extension...06:46
tanathActionParsnip, still get that with chrome, just time-delayed ;)06:46
tanathActionParsnip, but chrome lets you do things like print to PDF06:46
soreausterna: Also you could poke around in the grub files in /etc/default/ and /etc/grub/06:46
ActionParsnipDuolos: the chrome/ium plugins folder is /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins06:46
soreau! grub2 | sterna06:46
ubottusterna: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)06:46
ActionParsniptanath: I have a software PDF printer for that06:46
sternayeah i've been through those but couldn't find anything mentioning that06:47
ActionParsniptanath: lets ANY app print to PDF06:47
tanathActionParsnip, they don't reder the same. links don't show, etc06:47
tanath*render06:47
ActionParsniptanath: works fine here, i guess its a !wfm06:47
ActionParsniptanath: I just like to try the alpha stuff, makes things fun06:48
tanathActionParsnip, well i played with a few and found chrome's rendering to be better, so stuck with it06:48
tanathActionParsnip, yeah, i know the feeling, but i actually uses google's sync and the print-to-pdf occasionally06:48
soreauHow is chromium's print-to-pdf different than FF's?06:49
tanathsoreau, chrome's. chromium doesn't have it, IIRC06:50
tanathsoreau, i found some pages didn't have links when not using chrome06:50
tanathand using the pdf printer thing didn't06:50
Duoloshmm... even tried install Chromium.  Still can't even view anything on YouTube.06:51
injectorrestricted extras?06:51
DuolosI swear it all worked perfect two days ago... did YouTube change something?06:51
ActionParsnipinjector: can you phrase it as a FULL question06:51
soreauI've found there is a much wider variety of add-ons/plugins for FF than there are for chrome06:51
ActionParsnipDuolos: did you get the 64bit PPA I gave?06:51
tanathDuolos, try reinstalling the flash packages?06:51
fhenning09s06:52
DuolosActionParsnip: That wouldn't explain why it just stopped working06:52
DuolosActionParsnip: But no, I didn't.06:52
tanathDuolos, also, check if flash works in other browsers, like firefox06:52
Duolostanath: Nope.  Doesn't work in any of them anymore.06:52
soreau-_-06:52
ActionParsnipDuolos: then that's why ;)06:52
DKSAINIUnable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?06:52
tanathDuolos, so this was after an update i'm guessing?06:53
DuolosActionParsnip: So, because it worked yesterday, but I didn't install the 64 bit version today, that explains everything? lol06:53
tanathDKSAINI, run with 'sudo' in front06:53
Duolostanath: ...actually, just did install the updates today, yeah.06:53
tanathDKSAINI, or close synaptic or anything other package manager apps06:53
ActionParsnipDuolos: not sure there but your output shows no flash plugin, installing one will sort it06:54
tanathDuolos, check for more updates? maybe go back to older version? see if it works again06:54
DuolosActionParsnip: I can't install it.  Apt says they're all already installed.06:54
ActionParsnipDuolos: if you go to about:config    does it show one is in use?06:55
tanathDuolos, did you try reinstalling as i suggested?06:55
DuolosActionParsnip: about:config is a blank page in Chromium06:55
Duolostanath: trying that now06:55
tanathActionParsnip, it doesn't have about:config, but he already said about:plugins doesn't list it06:55

gaelfxIf I have two hard disks that I want to use for /home, would I have to use RAID, or is there another way?07:13
tanathgaelfx, you could mount the 2nd to a subdir inside home folder..07:13
ryannathansraid slunds like best option07:13
ryannathans6^07:13
tanathdepends what you wanna do07:13
gaelfxtanath: problem is, I primarily only use 2 directories and I don't want to restrict one of them to the smaller disk, I would rather it just share them for all subdirs07:14
gaelfxtanath: so I guess I would have to do RAID :S07:15
gaelfxI just worry about one of the drives failing07:15

dwmI have a real good back up program from nero. even works on my lan to a network drive.08:12
dwmIt isa linux software.08:12
ActionParsnipdwm: if you are dualbooting, then the other system is of no interest to us. It is not part of the situation with dualbooting a system.08:12

With older versions it took me about an hour to format a 3 TB drive, now it takes less than a minute on the same hardware with the same drive!

wersgaelfx, removing what?11:58
gaelfxwers: the nvidia driver in question11:59
fmaurowers, you don't have to remove it , just blacklist it11:59
gaelfxwers: or just try disabling it and then re-enabling it11:59
wersfmauro, how?11:59
wersgaelfx, will do11:59

gaelfxfmauro: he's trying to get his system to actually use the NVidia driver, right now it's enabled but not in use12:01
wersfmauro, I'm on a fresh install. I want to switch from whatever's active to the preferred NVIDIA driver12:01
fmaurowers: so , fresh install means nouveau12:01
wersfmauro, Natty could've activated nouveau by default12:01
splitpaw-mobileGoto restricted drivers  that's it12:02
splitpaw-mobileFind that under administration12:02
wersfmauro, perhaps. I want to switch to the nvidia one12:02
fmaurowers: then either restriced drivers or just apt-get it with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current12:03
gaelfxwers: ubuntuforums takes forever to load for me, so I haven't seen it yet, but perhaps this has the information you need: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168498812:03
fmaurowers: this will ALSO blacklist nouveau12:03
wersfmauro, restricted drivers ("Additional Drivers" dialog) has nvidia enabled, but not in use. see http://paste.ubuntu.com/677156/12:04
splitpaw-mobileThere is no need to blackest the driver! Just use the restricted driver12:04
fmaurowers: I assume you have rebooted?12:04
glebihanwers, the "not in use" mention is a bug in jockey12:05
wersfmauro, nope. surprisingly, natty activated it by default. this is the first ever boot of this fresh install12:05

exiffhow do I zip directories from the command line?13:49
gaelfxexiff: you could install 7zip, but I'm sure there's a built-in method that might be just as good13:50
exiffI wanna convert a lot of files from .cbr to .cbz13:50
jstooneexiff: unzip <file>13:50
exiffthe problem is I wanna use a script to unrar then zip the directories13:50

exiffim using python,and all that's missing is the commmand to zip the directories13:53
jstooneexiff: let me look for 1 sec13:54
glebihanlivingdaylight, it installs the packages passed on the command line, ignoring all errors13:54
exiffthanks jstoone13:54
livingdaylightglebihan, is that a way of installing a 32-bit deb file on a 64-bit machine?13:54
glebihanlivingdaylight, no you should not do that (this --force-all option should only be used when trying to repair a broken package database)13:56
exiffno way I'm manually changing 20 GB worth of cbr files13:56
jstooneexiff: haha for sure!13:56
livingdaylightglebihan, ok, thanks13:56
gaelfxexiff: if I understand correctly, cbz is just the same as a zip file, so anything you can use to make a .zip, you can use that and just rename it as .cbz13:56
livingdaylightI@m stuck then13:56
jstooneexiff: what IRC client are you using?13:57
gaelfxexiff: and I know 7zip can make .zip files ;)13:57
glebihanlivingdaylight, where did you find that package you are trying to install ?13:57

dv310p3rI can't delete my last panel. Any help?13:59
jstooneexiff: gaelfx: there's a python module called "zipfile" - import zipfile - it comes with ubuntu. Here's a little tut: http://effbot.org/librarybook/zipfile.htm13:59
glebihanlivingdaylight, well the instruction are indeed to use that --force-all option but that's really ugly14:00

onelinerhello there, i have a distributed cluster of webservers on Rackspace running ubuntu lts 10.04 and i was wondering if hanyone could hint me on health/stress/usage tools/commands/bash scripts i could use to query the servers individually14:14
gaelfxsilverarrow_: it sounds like you haven't forwarded the port, do you have access to the router you're connected to?14:15
gaelfxsilverarrow_: also, is uPnP enabled in the Transmission preferences?14:15
silverarrow_gaelfx, well when my neighbor comes home, we are sharing internet14:15
silverarrow_gaelfx, upnp?14:16
gaelfxsilverarrow_: it's a way for Transmission to automatically ask the router to forward the port14:16
gaelfxsilverarrow_: however, if you're just using the modem provided by your ISP, you probably won't be able to forward the ports and whatnot14:17
silverarrow_gaelfx, I shall look for it14:17
onelinerThelmaria: that would depend on your directory structure, if you can relocate all syncable directories under one common path, you could effectively resume with one thread14:17
RobinJanother point... i'm running openssh-server on my computer, but how can i make sure that when i close the ssh connection on my laptop, the desktop keeps executing the command i started14:17

paviI am using some virtual hosting which gave me two hard disks sdb and sdc . Can I combine them and use them ?16:19
damnohume: enable vsync and vblanc from both your gpu driver control center and ccsm16:19
qinjohannix: man chattr, or make cron to change file after network-manager16:19
humedamno, how do you mean? (trying the compiz-config manager now)16:19
SIFTUdamno: yes try.. rsync16:20
lotuspsychjesipior: so far for ubuntu security :p16:20
johannixqin: thanks. I'll look into it16:20
hplpbwildc4rd: I'm starting to lean towards two x sessions.. windows keep opening up on the wrong monitor when I don't want them to randomly16:20
damnohume: yes.. there is a vsync option in ccsm16:20
SIFTUpavi: yes using LVM or software RAID16:20
sipiorlotuspsychje: the problem is hardly specific to ubuntu, or indeed to linux.16:20
johannixqin: so there's no way to tell network-manager directly what to do?16:20
paviSIFTU,  so I can make RAID work on a VM ?16:21
qinjohannix: NOt that I know of.16:21
wildc4rdhplpb, thats what I am trying at the moment, and yes, it seems good16:21
lotuspsychjesipior: did you read the 22 exploits for ubuntu 10.10 last days?16:21
johannixqin: K. thanks.16:21
cherrykk im restartin noe16:21
cherrynow16:21
SIFTUpavi: yeah software RAID.. but you should probably just use LVM as you can shrink/exapand partitions16:21
humedamno, i have a nividia-card - is it the VBlank option in Xserver Xvideo Settings, or in the OpenGL settings, or both?16:22
paviSIFTU, LVM sounds better , still the same question can I use it on VM ?16:22
sipiorlotuspsychje: so?16:22
SIFTUpavi: yes, it's all done on a software layer16:22
hplpbwildc4rd: yeah, I think I'm going to try that soon. I'm also having the problem of not being able to set my 2nd monitor to the left of my 1st monitor without my main desktop stuff only showing up on the 2nd monitor16:23
lotuspsychjesipior: i just was wondering about how secure everybody says ubuntu is...16:23
damnohume: I have both the vsync and the vblanc options in the xvideo sett. checked on16:23
eros_What is the command to open a textfile16:23
humedamno, ok16:23
wildc4rdhplpb, are there any performance sacrifices as such?16:23
paviSIFTU,  thanks will look into getting LVM on 10.04 :)16:23
eros_I tried gedit but no luck16:23
sipiorlotuspsychje: use something else if it bothers you. it won't be an improvement.16:23
SIFTUpavi: lots of tutorials out there16:23
damnohume: but you still need to enable vblanc from ccsm to get around those creepy tears16:24
humedamno, ehr.... what do you mean? Is there a setting in the nvidia-settings called "Vsync"?16:24
lotuspsychjesipior: doesnt bother me, i wanna be informed how safe an Os is...16:24
humedamno, ok, trying the ccsm too, installing16:24
damnohume: yes  I do16:24
hplpbwildc4rd: don't know with two x sessions, I haven't tried it yet.. I would imagine it would have some effect on performance thoug16:24
Gentoo64lotuspsychje, ubuntu is safe16:24
humedamno, where? I just have VBlank16:24
humedamno, "Sync to VBlank"16:25
lotuspsychjeGentoo64: if its safe why they need to pach 22 exploits for it?16:25
sipiorlotuspsychje: have you read the details for those exploits? go do that now.16:25
Gentoo64lotuspsychje, even hardened kernels like grsec have vulnerabilities16:25
lotuspsychjeGentoo64: http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/ubuntu-fixes-webkit-flaws-other-issues-updates-08231116:26

Gentoo64or if its just terminal terminator tiles the terminal windows16:34

hplpbwildc4rd: what problems did you have?16:50
Gentoo64Xeroz_, i think people will tell you firestarter is discontinued16:51
Gentoo64Xeroz_, why not use ufw?16:51
sacarlsonXeroz_: is there a real reason you need a firewall?  just close the apps that listen that you don't want16:52
wildc4rdhplpb, you can't run separate instances of firefox in the separate x servers, and killing the process in one kills it in both16:52
ion_hplpb: if I do that I gonna get out of the graphic interface ....16:52
Xeroz_Gentoo64, because it's an old box (Gutsy) and because I'm used to firestarter...16:52
Gentoo64sacarlson, firewall is good idea..16:52

sacarlsonGentoo64: good for what?16:52
Gentoo64Xeroz_, no idea about firestarter. try loooking in /etc16:52
Xeroz_sacarlson, it's blocking port 21; I'm trying to unblock it.16:52
hplpbion_: ctrl+alt+f7 or f816:52
glebihanwildc4rd, you can run separate instances if you use different profiles16:53

SIFTUsacarlson: well he said headless (or GUI less)16:55

sacarlsondttys: yes that's what man-in-the-middle is you divert trafic to a different server17:39
predatorirc://irc.OceanIRC.net/oce@n17:39
dttysthe thing is, maybe i dont have to set up a new server17:39
rhin0andeeeuk_:  --- nfs -- load portmap and nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server on the server - portmap and nfs-common on the client .... set up the exports file /etc/exports then set the access so the client can go through the firewall17:39
rhin0the howto is all you need client/server setup just as I described17:40
sacarlsondttys: that's a bit off topic I'll chat about that in pm17:40
andeeeuk_ok, how di i do that?17:40
dttysk17:40
dttyssry :P17:40
andeeeuk_could it be that I have a firewall on then?17:40
rhin0not by default on a new install17:40
nbubuntusacarlson : successful connect but there's some problem with androidvnc , the screen doesn't update and nothing show when i click on it , will test further with different apps17:40
rhin0how far have you got andeeeuk_17:41
andeeeuk_I have installed a firewall to block all incoming17:41
andeeeuk_wondering if that was a prob17:41
sacarlsonnbubuntu: well maybe try another real computer and see if that works,  but seems like the screen would be too small anyway17:41
rhin0if the server is firewalled it needs to allow the ip address of the client you are trying to connect17:41
andeeeuk_I have installed samba and setup a chare17:41

X-tonic I just compiled compiz from launchpad source. Now after cmake, make, and sudo make install, I have lost the window title handle bars, and unity shell is also not working. Did i miss on something?20:18
EgyParadoxGallefray: I think Ubuntu will recognize other OSes if u install it again20:18
Jordan_UGallefray: When you saw a grub shell, did it have a "grub>" prompt or a "rescue>" prompt?20:19
ActionParsnipdarthtone: in short, not all apps work. The appdb often has guides but will say wether or not the app will work20:19
Gallefraygrub>20:19
one_ttlI have eth0 configuration in the interfaces file, however it doesn't apply after a reboot.  If I issue a ifup eth0 the config takes effect20:19

_riz_i'm supposed to use 'update-grub2' after editing stuff in /etc/grub.d/*, right?20:21
ActionParsnip_riz_: yes20:21
ActionParsnip_riz_: it will need prefixing with sudo20:21
Moshanatorx-tonic, try reinstalling metacity and see if the window title bars come back20:21
_riz_things are hanging.20:21
Jordan_U_riz_: You rarely should need to edit anything in /etc/grub.d/.20:21
Jordan_U_riz_: What are you actually trying to accomplish?20:21
_riz_Jordan_U: well, given the cluster**** that grub2 is20:21
mopkaki: now you can install ubuntu in you com20:22
_riz_from what I can tell, to add more stuff to the menu, i'm supposed to edit 40_custom20:22
ActionParsnip_riz_: it solves a lot of shortcomings from grub, it's just a little more complex to setup20:22
_riz_it's hideous.20:22
_riz_and it's broken.20:22
Jordan_U_riz_: You can do that or you can add a new file, /boot/grub/custom.cfg with your new menu entries.20:22
Polah_riz_: use another bootloader then.20:22
_riz_it's right now trying to scan a 2TB disk20:22
agentgasmaskHi all. Trying to set up a USB scanner over the LAN. I think the server is up and running, just need help varifying that it is, and setting up the clients.20:23
Gallefrayhow would i20:23
Gallefray^^^^ oops20:23
_riz_and when I kill that (it says it found the os that's on it) , grub-probe hangs20:23
Gallefrayhow do i boot up ubuntu from grub anyway?20:23
_riz_Polah: I count at least 4 different bootloaders on two disks already.  :/20:23
Gallefrayhang on :/20:24
_riz_of course every damn one wants to be the "main" one20:24
Polah_riz_: So remove the other three then.20:24
ActionParsnip_riz_: the order of the entres is determined by the number in the filename in /etc/grub.d20:24
_riz_but only grub2 has the audacity to require an entire config-build system20:24
