[00:04] <yeats> watchedman: 64-bit, by chance?
[00:04] <watchedman> yeats: indeed!
[00:04] <davf> Does 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] <yeats> watchedman: you can do 'Alt-F4' to see the log messages
[00:04] <watchedman> nice, already used Alt-F2 once in this process, I'm really getting a feel for the installer
[00:05] <yeats> watchedman: 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 installation
[00:05] <watchedman> yeats: that's good enough for me! I'll give it a go
[00:06] <volga629> yeats: didn't work the dependency error

[00:07] <jerry_> Hello is this Ubuntu Help?
[00:07] <volga629> yeats: the same error
[00:07] <jerry128> I have a question about permissions: chmod +x is equivalent numerically? to 755?
[00:07] <tikiking1> jerry128: no
[00:07] <yeats> watchedman: the only gotcha was that NetworkManager didn't manage the network after the install but this will probably help that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5926426&postcount=8
[00:08] <tikiking1> it just adds executability to all
[00:08] <jerry128> ok
[00:08] <jerry128> tikiking1, ok
[00:08] <tikiking1> if you do chmod 000 file; chmod +x file fileperms = 111
[00:08] <peepsalot> what is this keyring password unlock  thing that ubuntu asks me for twice on every boot?
[00:09] <jerry_> Guys just to alert y'all there are TWO Jerry's in the room.  I have a question also.
[00:09] <tikiking1> peepsalot: your password
[00:09] <peepsalot> tikiking1, why
[00:09] <yeats> volga629: first things first... - assumptions: 1) you are on 11.04 and 2) you don't have a lot of custom repos (PPAs) installed?
[00:09] <jerry128> tikiking1, ok
[00:09] <peepsalot> i usually cancel that stupid thing anyways
[00:09] <tikiking1> keyring stores stored passwords
[00:09] <peepsalot> ok, how do i disable keyring
[00:09] <peepsalot> i don't store passwords
[00:09] <tikiking1> i don't think you do
[00:10] <tikiking1> want to delete it
[00:10] <urlin2u> jerry_, ask the question
[00:10] <volga629> <yeats: this ubuntu 10.10 and can you point to right now. For right now I have default repository plus few which I am trying get ekiga working with h264
[00:11] <Polah> The keyring stores passwords for things like email clients and suchlike as necessary. The default one should be configured to be activated upon login
[00:12] <jerry_> URLIN2 Thank you ... Do yu know anything about Linux Pinguy?
[00:12] <alexy> peepsalot, http://www.dannytsang.co.uk/index.php/remove-ubuntu-keyring-password/

[00:19] <yeats> volga629: any chance you could disable the "debian multimedia" repo?  if you do that, ffmpeg will be able to install
[00:19] <volga629> yeats: let see
[00:19] <tikiking1> is there any persistent alternative to "sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00" for no backlight on laptops running Ubuntu 11.04? I am on 64-bit and don't mind fiddling with assembly, bash, or c.
[00:20] <yeats> volga629: that repo is offering a newer version of ffmpeg, but apparently isn't providing the right versions of its dependencies
[00:21] <BullShark> yeats -> try adding a ppa for ffmpeg or go to their site and see their recommended way for ubuntu
[00:21] <yeats> volga629: note that if you have installed other software from that repo, it may be rolled back to older versions when you disable it
[00:21] <alex--> I got a problem, I did this command on this site: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html "Sure, you can access them via Dash but for a quicker solut". But it isn't working very good. How can I 'disable' the command?
[00:21] <yeats> BullShark: it's volga629 with the issue ;-)
[00:21] <owen1> anyone knows how to paste using the keys or touchpad on macbook?
[00:22] <BullShark> volga629 -> see my above message
[00:22] <xixor2> hi, honest opinion: how is the newest ubuntu?
[00:22] <xixor2> word on the street is that it is a dud
[00:22] <BullShark> alex-- -> you have no middle mouse button do you?
[00:22] <volga629> <BullShark: let me ckeck
[00:23] <volga629> check
[00:23] <alex--> BullShark: what do you mean?
[00:23] <BullShark> alex-- -> a regular mouse usually has a scroll button that can be pushed down
[00:24] <BullShark> alex-- -> aka middle mouse click
[00:24] <alex--> yes what's with it?
[00:24] <BullShark> alex-- -> i believe there is a way to simulate a middle mouse click by pressing both the left and right mouse buttons simulatenously
[00:25] <volga629> <BullShark: where  I can find ppa for ffmpeg ?
[00:25] <BullShark> alex-- -> highlight some text, move your cursor where you want to paste it and do a middle mouse click or something that simulates one
[00:25] <alex--> BullShark: why should I want this?
[00:25] <BullShark> volga629 -> possibly, you just have to search
[00:25] <chaospsychex> where is the directory for apache server? where do i put a index.html file?

[00:25] <BullShark> alex-- -> i just told you how you can paste text using the middle mouse button. its more convient than the other ways
[00:26] <BullShark> alex-- -> why cant you right click and copy text?
[00:26] <yeats> volga629: Synaptic Package Manager -> Edit -> Repositories - then click the Other Software tab - then you can unclick custom repos
[00:27] <BullShark> volga629 -> http://www.google.com/search?q=ppa+for+ffmpeg&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[00:27] <alex--> BullShark: you meant someone else?
[00:28] <BullShark> alex-- -> http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/64-The-Middle-Mouse-Button.html
[00:28] <BullShark> alex-- -> is the ffmpeg you are getting coming from official ubuntu repositories or some third party repository?

[00:37] <nh13> Hello, can anyone help me installing a driver on Ubuntu?
[00:37] <th0r> guest09230932: ccheck to see if it is loaded with 'lsmod | grep ath'. If not, load it with 'modprobe ath5k'. If that brings up your wifi just add ath5k to /etc/modules
[00:38] <guest09230932> th0r, i was not wanting to log off windows

[00:41] <th0r> guest09230932: and without looking at your ubuntu installation you expect us to do what exactly?
[00:41] <Loshki> tikiking1: you could put it in /etc/rc.local where it would be run by root once per boot, after all other initialization scripts...
[00:41] <guest09230932> th0r, i was expecting jesus to appear :(
[00:42] <guest09230932> kidding

[00:43] <tikiking1> Loshki: won't it need my pass then?
[00:43] <BullShark> volga629 -> moment, replying on a linux users group mailing list
[00:44] <hylian> owen1, i don't have a mac, but this article explains copying and pasteing with keyboard shortcuts: http://www.lancelhoff.com/how-to-copy-and-paste-with-a-mac/
[00:44] <volga629> <BullShark: np
[00:45] <guest09230932> th0r, i thank you for helping :)
[00:45] <Loshki> tikiking1: no, since /etc/rc.local gets run by root at the end of booting (so be careful what you put in there).
[00:45] <tikiking1> ok thx
[00:45] <dagmowi> on a mac, cmd c to copy, and cmd v to paste
[00:46] <dagmowi> same as windows/linux just swap the cmd key for the ctrl key

[00:47] <Gredeu> if i remove cpufreqd what controls cpu speed ?
[00:48] <nh13> I have just installed Ubuntu but I can't make my wi-fi connection work. Ubuntu says I don't have the firmware for broadcom 802.11 and I can't seem to get it to work. Please, can anyone help me?
[00:48] <Polah> bsmith093, 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 data
[00:48] <Polah> Gredeu: Nothing, it will just run at a constant speed
[00:48] <hylian> Gredeu, 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 down

[00:50] <billybigrigger_> chaospsychex, did you read the server guide?
[00:50] <urlin2u> nh13, read carefully make sure this link is applicable.
[00:50] <nh13> Ok, I'm going to read it.

[00:51] <billybigrigger_> chaospsychex, next time a google of "ubuntu 11.04 server guide" will take you there :P
[00:51] <hylian> chaospsychex, in the terminal, you might get the quide, or atleast some direct information by man (name of program)
[00:52] <chaospsychex> what is google?
[00:52] <tr3nton> not what, who
[00:53] <jamiewan> chaospsychex: O_O
[00:53] <bazhang> mah454, thats debian, correct?
[00:54] <alex--> I got a problem, I did this command on this site: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html "Sure, you can access them via Dash but for a quicker solut". But it isn't working very good. How can I 'disable' the command?

[00:55] <Yakooza> hello, how can I access the lost+found folder?
[00:55] <billybigrigger_> Yakooza, in nautilus, ctrl-h will show hidden files and folders...
[00:55] <xangua> alex--: and the problem is¿ disable what command¿ lots of them there
[00:55] <tr3nton> if theres a package in a future version of ubuntu than that of what i am running, is it possible to add that package into the repo?
[00:56] <billybigrigger_> tr3nton, you can ask the package maintainer to update the package
[00:56] <Yakooza> Billybigrigger, I see the file, but it does not allow me to access it due to a lack of permissions
[00:56] <hylian> Yakooza, 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] <alex--> xangua: search on the page for Sure, you can access them via Dash but for a quicker solut
[00:56] <billybigrigger_> Yakooza, you can run nautilus as root, in a terminal type sudo nautilus
[00:57] <billybigrigger_> Yakooza, but be careful :D
[00:57] <Yakooza> I tried to install Ubuntu on my laptop on a secondary partition but somehow messed up my main partition
[00:57] <Yakooza> hoping to recover some files :-$
[00:57] <tr3nton> billybigrigger_: but if its not even a package in past release?
[00:57] <urlin2u> alex--, your a new user am I right?
[00:57] <blackrock> hello. could anyone tell me how to reset the ubuntu gnome login screen?
[00:57] <Yakooza> ouch, looks like nothing is there
[00:58] <Yakooza> I am on a live cd if that changes anything
[00:58] <billybigrigger_> tr3nton, which package?
[00:58] <alex--> urlin2u: true
[00:58] <chaospsychex> ok php5.conf and php5.load are present so why isn't php working ?
[00:58] <blackrock> my sister messed up with the accessibility stuff and there's no keyboard but onboard kbd, magnifier
[00:58] <xangua> alex--: i don't use unity, sorry
[00:58] <Yakooza> I have no idea what happened. I tried using the main partition as a "swap space" without knowing what it actually does. Did it reformat my drive?
[00:58] <chaospsychex> i did 'sudo apt-get install lamp-server^' and everything was setup
[00:58] <blackrock> removing .gnome files doesn't help
[00:58] <tr3nton> billybigrigger_: python-suds http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/python-suds ... i know how to install manually, but just curious if its possible
[00:59] <urlin2u> alex--, you want to be careful in what your doing, be sure to understand it, not just take others opinons on a web page.
[00:59] <chaospsychex> billybigrigger
[01:00] <billybigrigger_> tr3nton, ok the package is in the repos, you just want an updated version?
[01:00] <Yakooza> I fucked up, didnt I?
[01:00] <chaospsychex> omg all i had to do was restart apache
[01:00] <th0r> Yakooza: if you didn't before, you have now
[01:01] <tr3nton> billybigrigger_: no i mean, im on 10.04, and its not in its repos. was curious if i could add this specific package into the repo's
[01:01] <Yakooza> What do you think my best course of action is?
[01:01] <billybigrigger_> chaospsychex, pretty sure that an apache restart was documented in the server guide no?
[01:01] <urlin2u> alex--, just friendly advice, from a once new user :D
[01:01] <alex--> urlin2u: how to undo the command?
[01:01] <Yakooza> reformat, reinstall windows, run a file recovery and hope for the best?
[01:01] <jasongriffee> i have v11.04, is there a way to raise the bass system wide?
[01:01] <billybigrigger_> tr3nton, upgrade to 11.04? i know it's in the 11.10 repos
[01:01] <urlin2u> alex--, no to understand the whole process.
[01:01] <chaospsychex> no actually it wasn't, i had to call my cousin in china and he called barney
[01:01] <chaospsychex> barney told me to restart apache,lol
[01:02] <chaospsychex> ;-D
[01:02] <billybigrigger_> tr3nton, Version: 0.4.1-2
[01:02] <tr3nton> billybigrigger_: mm ok, thx anyways
[01:02] <luigi> Yes, in fact, I would like to have sex with a pony now that I think about it.
[01:03] <guest09230932> th0r, i ran lsmod | grep ath nothing showed also modprobe -r ath5k , modprobe ath5k , and sudo modprobe rfkill . the last three commands said it didnt exist
[01:03] <urlin2u> alex--, some things the channel will not mess with you have to be aware of that, don't paint yourself into a corner.
[01:04] <billybigrigger_> tr3nton, that package exists in 11.04 and 11.10....if you really needed/wanted it in 10.04 repos i'm sure you could email the maintainer  :)
[01:04] <ekdo> if i leave my computer on without any activity for a few mins, when i go back on google chrome does not make sound i think it has something to do with the power saving module
[01:04] <billybigrigger_> tr3nton, Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
[01:04] <tr3nton> billybigrigger_: ok, thanks :)
[01:05] <th0r> guest09230932: if you couldn't modprobe it then ath5k isn't available apparently. I can't check for you, I use debian nowadays. You can check with 'locate ath5k' to see if the module is available
[01:05] <guest09230932> k

[01:06] <awakecoding> Hi, I have ubuntu 11.04 with a faulty driver that crashes X on boot. how can I boot ubuntu in a fail safe mode that won't attempt starting X?
[01:06] <guest09230932> also i dont see any wlan0 anywhere
[01:06] <urlin2u> awakecoding, use the recovery at the grub menu and choose failsafe at the next gui
[01:07] <urlin2u> awakecoding, it will start x but in low graphics
[01:07] <alex--> urlin2u: i dont like the normal behave of unity, so I'm tweaking it
[01:08] <awakecoding> urlin2u: even that seems to crash, I get  a black screen. isn't there a way to simply avoid launching X completely?
[01:08] <jamiewan> Yakooza: 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 easy
[01:08] <bazhang> !nox | awakecoding
[01:09] <urlin2u> alex--, cool I support that you just want to be careful is all I suggest.
[01:09] <alex--> urlin2u: ye
[01:09] <Kre10s_> awakecoding, you can also edit your rc scripts... but bazhangs suggestion is better.
[01:10] <urlin2u> alexyour system?--, have you done a image of
[01:10] <awakecoding> even with the text boot option... it ends up with a black screen
[01:10] <Assmike911> hello
[01:10] <urlin2u> alex--, have you done a image of your OS?
[01:10] <jasongriffee> is there a system-wide bass-booster of any kind for 11.04?
[01:11] <alex--> urlin2u: image?
[01:11] <urlin2u> alex--, a clone
[01:11] <alex--> yes
[01:11] <alex--> :)
[01:11] <alex--> installed mac os theme
[01:11] <urlin2u> alex--, cool the let the breakage begin. :D
[01:11] <urlin2u> then
[01:11] <alex--> nah not really
[01:11] <alex--> only installs docky and a new theme
[01:12] <alex--> Btw, when linux is freezing, how to log out?
[01:12] <alex--> Because there is no ctrl alt del taskmanager
[01:13] <urlin2u> alex--, soft reboot is ctrl-alt-prtsc reisub  slowly
[01:13] <alex--> reisub slowly ?
[01:14] <jasongriffee> Hello? I need help with sound.
[01:14] <urlin2u> alex--, ctrl-alt-f2 will get you to a tty, either may not work though if hard locked
[01:14] <aeon-ltd> jasongriffee: ask the whole question
[01:14] <ekdo> wat yo problem

[01:17] <guest09230932> k
[01:17] <th0r> guest09230932: then try just modprobe ath5k
[01:18] <ekdo> if i leave my computer on without any activity for a few mins, when i go back on my browser does not make sound i think it has something to do with the power saving module
[01:18] <guest09230932> im duel booting why im having to log off then come back
[01:18] <ekdo> if i leave my computer on without any activity for a few mins, when i go back on my browser does not make sound i think it has something to do with the power saving module
[01:19] <alex--> Is there a way to create your own notifyOSD alerts?
[01:19] <alex--> Just by typing something in and then it appears?
[01:19] <Kre10s_> yes.
[01:19] <__serial> #channelop
[01:19] <Kre10s_> notify or something like that...
[01:20] <Kre10s_> I'll go look it up.
[01:22] <alex--> another problem: Something changed my bootup/shutdown/login screen. Can I recover it back to how it was earlier?
[01:22] <Kre10s_> alex--, notify-send i think does what you need.
[01:22] <Kre10s_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576676
[01:24] <alex--> Kre10s_: thx
[01:24] <guest09230932> th0r, they dont match my kernel 2.6.39-2-generic drive 2.6.38-8
[01:24] <th0r> guest09230932: there's your problem <smile>. Either back up the kernel to 2.6.38 or install the modules for 2.6.39
[01:25] <guest09230932> how did that happen on a recently installed ubuntu?!!!???
[01:25] <guest09230932> i never had that happen before
[01:25] <guest09230932> i just installed it today
[01:25] <th0r> guest09230932: I don't know. Like I said, I run debian now so miss the latest ubuntu 'improvements'
[01:26] <guest09230932> do you think ubuntu imported it off another os i had installed?
[01:26] <th0r> guest09230932: the matching modules should be available via the repo. so installing shouldn't be a problem. YOu might want to do both...the older kernel and the newer modules
[01:26] <guest09230932> only thing i can think of
[01:26] <th0r> guest0
[01:26] <th0r> guest09230932: I would only be guessing on that <smile>
[01:27] <alex--> another problem: Something changed my bootup/shutdown/login screen. Can I recover it back to how it was earlier?
[01:27] <guest09230932> should i update to 3.0? lol
[01:27] <th0r> guest09230932: I went to debian because I got tired of all the 'updates'.
[01:28] <th0r> guest09230932: so you are asking the wrong person about 3.0 <smile>
[01:28] <guest09230932> i see
[01:28] <urlin2u> guest09230932, just be aware the the channel wont support that.
[01:29] <urlin2u> that*
[01:29] <guest09230932> support what im confused
[01:30] <alex--> Kre10s_: can you help me with my other problem?
[01:30] <Kre10s_> alex--, I've been wanting to find out how to customize those... but never got to it...
[01:30] <th0r> guest09230932: he is talking about 3.0. My suggestion is to install the older version of the kernel to match the modules
[01:30] <guest09230932> k
[01:30] <guest09230932> i just didnt understand what he said
[01:30] <urlin2u> guest09230932, a kernel not native to the install is not supported.
[01:30] <guest09230932> or she?
[01:30] <Kre10s_> alex--, what screen is it that changed? grub?
[01:30] <th0r> guest09230932: he thought you werre serious about 3.0
[01:30] <guest09230932> i maybe :)
[01:31] <urlin2u> th0r, you are karnac :D
[01:31] <th0r> urlin2u: don't I wish <smile
[01:34] <alex--> Kre10s_: with the dots
[01:34] <alex--> when loading ubuntu
[01:35] <Kre10s_> alex--, I think thats part of unity... but i may be completely wrong.
[01:35] <Kre10s_> You'll have to try looking up unity yourself though. I don't know anything about it.
[01:36] <Shaba1> Hello all
[01:36] <Shaba1> windows user here that is using wubi
[01:36] <Shaba1> I have a question
[01:37] <Shaba1> in windows I can right click the desktop and choose Sort By then choose Name,Item type,date created and size
[01:38] <Shaba1> in wubi/ubuntu unity all I see is arrange by name
[01:38] <Shaba1> is that all there is?
[01:38] <alex--> Kre10s_: completely wrong
[01:38] <alex--> I dont have this screen anymore: http://www.linoob.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ubuntu-Bootscreen.png
[01:38] <luigi> Shaba1: If you're in list mode in Nautilus, you can click the columns that show what the files' various properties are to sort by that property.
[01:38] <Kre10s_> ;P
[01:38] <luigi> Shaba1: There's probably an easier way to do it, but that's how I do it.
[01:40] <jpmh> I have a printer connected to /dev/usb/lp0 - I can print text to it - I configured it using System/Admin/Printers - seems OK - accepts jobs - but they stay queued and never print - help please
[01:41] <alex--> I accidently deleted something from my panel
[01:41] <luigi> jpmh: Can you even print a test page?
[01:41] <alex--> How to restore it?
[01:41] <Kre10s_> right click. add to panel
[01:42] <Kre10s_> after you re-add it. right click. lock to panel
[01:42] <Shaba1> luigi
[01:43] <luigi> Yes?
[01:43] <jpmh> luigi - no - basically when I copy to /dev/usb/lp0 it works but the lp interface does not seem to
[01:43] <Kre10s_> alex-- http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customize-boot-splash-screen-logo-linux/
[01:43] <luigi> jpmh: You most likely don't want to pipe to the low-level device directly. What model of printer is it and what driver are you using?
[01:44] <Shaba1> I am not using nautilus ( I think)
[01:44] <alex--> Kre10s_: already looked, /usr/share/images/xsplash doesn't exists
[01:44] <Shaba1> I choose to start ubuntu classic
[01:44] <luigi> Shaba1: Unless if it's KDE, the default in ubuntu is natutilus as a file manager.
[01:44] <Kre10s_> :/ like i said. I have no clue.
[01:45] <nh13> urlin2u: I'm trying to follow the steps but the terminal asks for the 'sudo password' and I can't enter anything...
[01:45] <urlin2u> Shaba1, nautilus is ubuntu,also watch out for any grub updates don't do them
[01:45] <luigi> Shaba1: I'm using an update build of nautilus, but I see under Arrage Items "Manually, By {Name,Size,Type,Modifcation Date}. Try ALT+F2, type "nautilus" and hit enter.
[01:45] <jpmh> luigi - I don't I want to use lp if I can - it is an epson receipt printer - I am using the generic/text driver when I set it uo for lp - when I just open and output of course no driver
[01:46] <urlin2u> nh13, the password does not show.
[01:46] <luigi> jpmh: Generic printer drivers I've found aren't great. You're sure there's no model-specific driver for the printer?
[01:47] <LuckyStar> so what size is a  normal ubuntu install by now
[01:47] <jpmh> I have sure looked and not found one - this is a recipt printer of the type you see on Point of Sale systems - in fact this is a Point of Sale system
[01:47] <nh13> urlin2u: I can only press enter and it will give me the incorrect password... Anyways I don't know what password is that.
[01:47] <jpmh> luigi: oops last comment was for u
[01:47] <urlin2u> nh13, refresh me on what your doing.
[01:47] <luigi> jpmh: Not sure then, it's not my area of expertise at all. :/
[01:47] <jpmh> well thanks for trying anyway
[01:48] <LuckyStar> so what size is a  normal ubuntu install by now
[01:48] <ameen> 500MB :)
[01:48] <LuckyStar> lolz
[01:48] <urlin2u> LuckyStar, about 3.5 gigs
[01:48] <LuckyStar> ameen, meh
[01:48] <LuckyStar> urlin2u, thx
[01:49] <urlin2u> LuckyStar, probably closer to 2.7 if cleaned
[01:49] <LuckyStar> huh?
[01:49] <nh13> urlin2u: I'm trying to install a firmware for broadcom 802.11... i'm following this steps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx but I can't do the 'sudo' commands because of the password...
[01:50] <urlin2u> LuckyStar, if you clean the cache..etc with bleachbit.
[01:50] <alex--> Kre10s_: "To get back your familiar Ubuntu usplash image and screen, do a: $sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so". But then I get: update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for usplash-artwork.so.
[01:50] <luigi> LuckyStar: If you install to a btrfs system with compression enabled you can get it even smaller, but if you get data corruption with btrfs you can't recover it right now. :/
[01:50] <bsmith093> how do i get rid of the little icon that days a problem occurred when hcking for the updates, it gives no other info, and i have no broken packages
[01:50] <LuckyStar> hah gotcha
[01:50] <urlin2u> nh13, the link is as far as I know when asked for a password it would be your password, it does not show though.
[01:51] <alex--> urlin2u: can you help me out?
[01:51] <jpmh> nh13: I would hope that without the password you would not be able to install tge drivers - this would be a horrible security risk if you could
[01:51] <urlin2u> nh13, you have admin privileges?
[01:51] <urlin2u> alex--, I'm not sure there sorry.:D
[01:51] <swim> anyone know what the addon is called that helps originize your windows, ie terminal and such
[01:51] <nh13> I changed my user account to admin and changed to no password at all
[01:51] <alex--> :(
[01:51] <nh13> but still can't pass the sudo command
[01:51] <urlin2u> nh13, bad idea
[01:52] <luigi> nh13: "pass" sudo?
[01:52] <luigi> nh13: What are you trying to do?
[01:52] <nh13> pass = make it work
[01:52] <Sonarpulse> nh13: if your root you don't need sudo
[01:52] <nh13> Then how do I log into root?
[01:53] <luigi> nh13: I would boot into recovery mode, try sudo -aG admin <user>
[01:53] <alex--> luigi: he can't use sudo because he didn't fill in a password for his account
[01:53] <Sonarpulse> nh13: you shouldn't need to do that either
[01:53] <sweetandy> And now that my mom is out with her girlfriends for the night, I'm going to secretly replace her outdated Mint with Ubuntu 11.04.
[01:53] <luigi> nh13: In that case, boot to recovery mode, and type "passwd <user>"
[01:53] <th0r> sweetandy: that is asking for trouble
[01:53] <luigi> alex--: Single user mode drops to a root shell, right?
[01:53] <alex--> sweetandy: I recommend you making backups
[01:53] <alex--> luigi: i dont know
[01:54] <luigi> I would assume so. It does on ubuntu-server.
[01:54] <sweetandy> alex--, already done. She barely stores any data, basically just uses firefox.
[01:54] <alex--> sweetandy: then firefox bookmarks
[01:54] <sweetandy> yup :)
[01:54] <Sonarpulse> nh13: what are you actually trying to do
[01:54] <Sonarpulse> sudo -s will get you a root shell
[01:54] <sweetandy> I keep periodic snapshots of her data on my 1 TB external drive
[01:55] <nh13> Sonarpulse: I'm trying to install this driver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[01:55] <luigi> Sonarpulse: He can't use sudo.
[01:55] <FollowerOfMendax> Sonarpulse is that different than sudo -i
[01:55] <Sonarpulse> is that because sudo is messed up or the specific won't allow for it
[01:55] <luigi> Sonarpulse: He has no password on the account.
[01:56] <luigi> Honestly, editor=NANO visudo and add NOPASSWD before the relevant ALL line would fix it too, but it's not as secure.
[01:56] <Sonarpulse> luigi: meaning his normal account?
[01:56] <luigi> If I understand him correctly, yes.
[01:56] <nh13> My normal account has no password.
[01:56] <Sonarpulse> btw I also have a bcm43xx and got some stuff working
[01:56] <Sonarpulse> ok
[01:56] <luigi> nh13: Why not type "passwd"?
[01:57] <luigi> nh13: And add a password.
[01:57] <Sonarpulse> yeah get a passwd
[01:57] <Sonarpulse> it help with compatability as you should now understand even if you pick one which does nothing for secutiry
[01:57] <kermit> i just had two sata drives stop responding at the same time, with the error hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET  so its not the drive, is this a bug or is my motherboard bad?
[01:57] <luigi> nh13: Linux isn't like Windows. Everything in Linux assumes you have one set. ;)
[01:57] <nh13> Ok. I'll do it... The thing is I'm using Vista and I can't connect from Ubuntu that's why I'm trying to make the wifi work.
[01:58] <ameen> What new in ubuntu 11.10??
[01:58] <luigi> kermit: Drives of the same make and model are known to fail at the same time.
[01:58] <FollowerOfMendax> ameen : thunderbird
[01:58] <Sonarpulse> well in windows file sharing is even more broken without one
[01:58] <nh13> Brb
[01:58] <Sonarpulse> ok
[01:58] <luigi> nh13: Why not use an ethernet jack?
[01:58] <luigi> Ahh! Foiled again...
[01:58] <FollowerOfMendax> ameen : UI changes no gnome2
[01:58] <Sonarpulse> luigi: i did some stuff on http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
[01:59] <luigi> Sonarpulse: I don't use broadcom. Atheros and Intel are what I use.
[01:59] <mohamed> hii
[01:59] <ameen> Follower0fMendax : what? gnome3??
[01:59] <Sonarpulse> luigi: he said brb so i'm talking to you
[01:59] <Sonarpulse> about him
[01:59] <nuno_nunes> I using broadcom in my pc
[01:59] <luigi> Err, okay.
[01:59] <Sonarpulse> guess it's kinda unnessisary
[01:59] <Sonarpulse> anyways
[01:59] <luigi> nuno_nunes: How does it work for you?
[01:59] <FollowerOfMendax> ameen : no still unity but based on gnome3 instead of gnome2 like 11.04
[02:00] <nuno_nunes> Yes
[02:00] <Sonarpulse> (sudo) modprobe b43
[02:00] <Sonarpulse> anyways
[02:00] <Sonarpulse> that did it for me
[02:00] <mohamed> i want to know where i am?
[02:00] <Sonarpulse> installed some other stuff as directed by the debian wiki
[02:00] <ameen> Oke, ubuntu is beutiful... :)
[02:00] <ameen> and Powerfull
[02:00] <luigi> mohamed: You're in #ubuntu, a support channel for ubuntu.
[02:00] <Sonarpulse> but im not sure i even needed it for that to work
[02:01] <mohamed> thanks luigi
[02:01] <nuno_nunes> install bcmwl-kernel-source and b43-fwcutter this restart pc
[02:02] <kermit> luigi: i mean at the exact same second
[02:02] <luigi> kermit: It's happened to me before with two PATA drives in RAID1.
[02:02] <swim> anyone know what the addon is called that helps originize your windows, ie terminal and such
[02:02] <luigi> kermit: It happens. It's not unheard of.
[02:02] <Sonarpulse> I did that before modprobe and i don't think a restart was even nessisary
[02:02] <nuno_nunes> yes
[02:02] <kermit> luigi: so i cant blame the drives, do you think its my motherboard or linux?
[02:03] <nuno_nunes> this a not activated
[02:03] <luigi> kermit: Most likely the board if linux didn't panic.
[02:03] <luigi> But I'm no expert.
[02:03] <nuno_nunes> my wireless card is a 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
[02:03] <luigi> Oh, does anyone know if the Magic SysRq key is enabled by default in ubuntu?
[02:06] <m4dc0d3r> is there a way to disable the keyring login?
[02:06] <m4dc0d3r> its annoying cause you have to enter the PW twice
[02:09] <kermit> luigi: i just started using this new system today, too :/
[02:09] <kermit> luigi: are you using an ICH chipset?
[02:09] <Sonarpulse> Anybody have any experience with qemu or the system (is it tmpfs?) behind the casper-rw on ubuntu persistent usb live installs?
[02:09] <luigi> kermit: I'm not sure. Sorry. :/
[02:10] <kermit> luigi: lspci would tell you
[02:10] <luigi> kermit: I'm on windows at the moment. :)
[02:11] <bvierra1> Anyone know if there is anything like Fedora Spacewalk for Ubuntu?
[02:13] <xangua>  m4dc0d3r automatic log in enabled¿ disable it ;)
[02:13] <qqqqq> hello
[02:13] <m4dc0d3r> xangua: no, i want both logins to be disabled
[02:13] <nuno_nunes> Sonarpulse: work or no
[02:14] <qqqqq> should I use install flash 32bit or 64bit?
[02:14] <m4dc0d3r> is your OS 32 bit or 64 bit?
[02:14] <qqqqq> 64
[02:14] <m4dc0d3r> then use 64
[02:14] <qqqqq> i dont know if im already using flash 64
[02:15] <m4dc0d3r> if it works, keep it
[02:15] <xangua> if you installed it from repositori you are using the 32bit version m4dc0d3r
[02:15] <xangua> there is a ppa for 64bit
[02:15] <qqqqq> yea
[02:15] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: huh?
[02:15] <qqqqq> xangua: thats what im thinking
[02:15] <m4dc0d3r> 64 should be faster
[02:15] <xangua> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins
[02:15] <qqqqq> 10.3.183.7ubuntu0.11.04.1
[02:15] <m4dc0d3r> but if it works id keep it
[02:15] <xangua> mmm failed :S
[02:16] <nuno_nunes> Sonarpulse: bcm
[02:16] <nuno_nunes> lol
[02:16] <qqqqq> m4dc0d3r: ofc it works, but will it work better with 64bit version=
[02:16] <qqqqq> ?
[02:16] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: yeah for me it works
[02:16] <m4dc0d3r> qqqqq: probably not much
[02:16] <nuno_nunes> ok
[02:16] <Sonarpulse> http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
[02:17] <qqqqq> m4dc0d3r: so thats why they say 64bit flash sucks.. because there's not much benefit?
[02:17] <Sonarpulse> sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[02:17] <nuno_nunes> i using a bcm43xx at a 4 years
[02:17] <m4dc0d3r> qqqqq: just keep 32bit if it works
[02:17] <qqqqq> i will
[02:17] <Sonarpulse> modprobe b43
[02:17] <m4dc0d3r> qqqqq: if it ain't broken, dont fix it.
[02:17] <SIDU> how can i find local network ip? eg 192.168.?.?
[02:18] <qqqqq> SIDU: ifconfig
[02:18] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: so your not have not having problems with it?
[02:18] <m4dc0d3r> SIDU: rightclick network icon in status bar -> connection information
[02:18] <qqqqq> SIDU: or using network manager applet
[02:18] <nuno_nunes> no
[02:18] <jasongriffee> well, so much for a answer
[02:18] <nuno_nunes> work 100 %
[02:18] <nh13> Well, now sudo worked. Thanks everyone!
[02:18] <SIDU> id addr found nothing, admin>network tool > found 0.0.0.0
[02:18] <nh13> Using Ubuntu this time, btw.
[02:18] <qqqqq> why I keep listening a sound everytime I press a key in my laptop?
[02:19] <qqqqq> loll
[02:19] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: no, work 100% ??
[02:19] <SIDU> m4dc0d3r: status > conn info > error
[02:19] <nuno_nunes> what
[02:19] <Sonarpulse> nh13:np
[02:19] <nuno_nunes> in my pc is work
[02:19] <SIDU> m4dc0d3r: must be something wrong with my ubuntu ?
[02:19] <m4dc0d3r> probably
[02:19] <qqqqq> SIDU: what do you want to do?
[02:20] <luigi> Does anyone know if the Magic SysRq key is enabled by default in ubuntu?
[02:20] <Schizoid> During an ubuntu install is it possible to change the repo server? the default one always seems to be terribly slow for me
[02:20] <SIDU> qqqqq:  i m trying to text a localhost in vbox, but i need local ip
[02:20] <qqqqq> luigi: it's disabled
[02:20] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: i'm confused do you still need help with bcm43xx/bcm44xx wifi drivers?
[02:20] <luigi> Thanks.
[02:20] <qqqqq> luigi: you can check
[02:20] <SIDU> qqqqq: need ip like 192.168....
[02:21] <qqqqq> SIDU: open a terminal and type ifconfig
[02:21] <luigi> qqqqq: I use ubuntu at work, not at home unfortunately. But thanks.
[02:21] <rypervenche> Schizoid: Change them in /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:21] <SIDU> qqqqq: no commend found: ipconfig :(
[02:21] <nuno_nunes> oh yes
[02:22] <qqqqq> SIDU: ifconfig ... "f"
[02:22] <qqqqq> ipconfig is on windows
[02:22] <SIDU> qqqqq: ah... but found nothing like 192...
[02:23] <Kre10s_> in windows you configure ips :P... in linux InterFaces!
[02:23] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: can you try things now? or did you say you are on a pc so you can't try things now and want advice for later
[02:23] <qqqqq> SIDU: it should show your network interfaces like eth0 or wlan0 .. and the configuration
[02:24] <qqqqq> SIDU: does it only show "lo" interface?
[02:24] <nuno_nunes> my wireless card work in eth1 e not wlan0
[02:25] <nuno_nunes> :o
[02:25] <qqqqq> nuno_nunes: laptop?
[02:25] <SIDU> qqqqq: eth0 lo pppo
[02:25] <nuno_nunes> yes is a dell inspirion 1525

[02:27] <qqqqq> hello
[02:27] <qqqqq> bye
[02:27] <nuno_nunes> tambem há portugueses aqui
[02:27] <nuno_nunes> lol
[02:28] <nuno_nunes> :=
[02:28] <nuno_nunes> :)
[02:28] <qqqqq> !ot
[02:28] <mneumonic> HI all
[02:30] <nuno_nunes> :)
[02:30] <Sonarpulse> sorry to repeat but
[02:30] <Sonarpulse> Does anybody have any experience with qemu or the system (is it tmpfs?) behind the casper-rw on ubuntu persistent usb live installs?
[02:31] <urlin2u> Sonarpulse, ask the question.
[02:31] <qqqqq> !ask
[02:31] <Sonarpulse> it's pretty long so I'll use a pastebin (and not get banned like before)
[02:32] <SIDU> qqqqq: can not open your wiki
[02:32] <Sonarpulse> http://paste.ubuntu.com/676945/
[02:33] <Shaba1> luigi are you still here?
[02:33] <luigi> Yes.
[02:33] <SIDU> qqqqq: oic, eth0 addr = fe80::6ef0: ,,,,
[02:34] <luigi> Shaba1: ^^
[02:34] <SIDU> qqqqq: no ipv4
[02:34] <qqqqq> oh
[02:34] <qqqqq> im ipv6 ignorant
[02:34] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: did you say your wifi was mis configured as eth1 as opposed to wlan0 ?
[02:34] <luigi> qqqqq: Come to ##networking, we love talking about it. :)
[02:35] <nuno_nunes> no
[02:36] <jpmh> why does my new machine tell me that I am eth21 and wlan4 when there are no other eth or wlan entries?
[02:36] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: my bad. mis read something i guess. I had a similar problem with my bcm, I don't think that was actually the case, but it looked like it was.
[02:36] <qqqqq> jpmh: because you have plugged other devices before. you can fix that
[02:36] <qqqqq> w8
[02:37] <jpmh> qqqqq: I really don't care - just wondered why - since it all works is there any reason to care?
[02:37] <qqqqq> jpmh: here's the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[02:37] <swim> anyone use Awesome WM or Tmux?
[02:37] <qqqqq> you can edit and remove the old devices
 this my card is a connected to web this no problems
[02:38] <Sonarpulse> nuno_nunes: glad to here it's working
[02:38] <nuno_nunes> yes
[02:39] <nuno_nunes> in console this at comand lspci
[02:40] <Sonarpulse> anybody read my question in the paste bin??
[02:40] <nuno_nunes> copy this a info to bcm
[02:40] <nuno_nunes> 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
[02:40] <dr-willis> good idea to summarize the issue. not just pastebinit.
[02:40] <Sonarpulse> ok
[02:40] <Sonarpulse> i will copy the one liners from it
[02:41] <Sonarpulse> which is just taht
[02:41] <HeGuru> Sonarpulse: I did, I don't think you can create snapshot image of a live partition on linux while recording writes to a separate file. you can easily do that AFTER you have started QEMU
[02:41] <nuno_nunes> oh yes
[02:41] <qqqqq> dr-willis: youre not original dr willis arent you
[02:41] <Sonarpulse> HeGuru: i heard about that
[02:41] <dr-willis> im me.. on my android ;)
[02:41] <Sonarpulse> problem is it's fdisk i am worried about
[02:42] <HeGuru> well if you have enough storage just dd or even better partimage the partition
[02:42] <Sonarpulse> yeah I don't though
[02:43] <qqqqq> Sonarpulse: I missed the link
[02:43] <Sonarpulse> on a laptop and my only other hard drive is a smaller internal one that s full
[02:43] <tonysan> It seems that my ubuntu don't release swap space like memory...any settings to tune it?
[02:43] <HeGuru> Sonarpulse: well do try partimage with compression, you will surprised how small the image file can be at times
[02:43] <Sonarpulse> qqqqq: ok one sec
[02:43] <delron> Sonarpulse: the only thing i would definately do is clone your hd befor attempting
[02:43] <Sonarpulse> http://paste.ubuntu.com/676945/
[02:44] <qqqqq> (ot) i hate ipv6 ips. hard to memorize lol
[02:44] <delron> ten if you mess it up its nbd
[02:45] <Sonarpulse> yeah
[02:45] <Sonarpulse> actually I might be able to use a big backup
[02:46] <bonhoffer> i just booted up an older ubuntu box, and i have an ip -- but dns is not resolving
[02:46] <bonhoffer> any troubleshooting options
[02:46] <bonhoffer> i can ping my router 192.168.1.1 and i have an ip address, but nothing over port 80
[02:47] <Sonarpulse> oooo. anyway I can have fdisk just open the tiny file for the mbr
[02:47] <Sonarpulse> and force it to write a partition table big enough for the whole array?
[02:47] <jamiewan> bonhoffer: check your nameserver /etc/resolv.conf
[02:48] <bonhoffer> jamiewan: empty
[02:48] <bonhoffer> # Generated by NetworkManager
[02:48] <jamiewan> bonhoffer: add nameserver 4.2.2.1 or something like that
[02:48] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv/conf
[02:49] <qqqqq> HeGuru: /etc/resolv.conf
[02:49] <Sonarpulse> also the instructions had my change the cyllinder/sector size
[02:49] <bonhoffer> then to reload?
[02:49] <HeGuru> qqqqq: oops thanks qqqqq. bonhoffer: its /etc/resolv.conf
[02:49] <Sonarpulse> does that have to be in sync with vista's settings
[02:50] <qqqqq> bonhoffer: you dont need to reload anything, it will start using that dns server
[02:50] <Sonarpulse> *change it in fdisk
[02:50] <bonhoffer> so i put in nameserver 8.8.8.8
[02:50] <qqqqq> and btw I dont recommend to use Google DNS.. they are evil. use a server without logs and stuff
[02:50] <bonhoffer> but i ping mit.edu and get unknown host
[02:51] <qqqqq> bonhoffer: type host mit.edu
[02:51] <HeGuru> qqqqq: they're faster than most i have used. and atleast they're better than opendns (I get what i ask for, not what opendns thinks is right)
[02:51] <qqqqq> HeGuru: wait a second
[02:51] <bonhoffer> connection timed out
[02:52] <xangua> HeGuru: qqqqq advantage dns is the fastest, tru it yourself ;)
[02:52] <bonhoffer> anything that works to start . . .
[02:52] <xangua> try*
[02:52] <qqqqq> HeGuru: http://opennicproject.org/
[02:52] <Sonarpulse> openDNS if noby has mentioned it. problem is it's deal with ask search
[02:52] <bonhoffer> so my /etc/resolv.conf is # Generated by NetworkManager \n nameserver 8.8.8.8
[02:52] <Sonarpulse> *nobody
[02:52] <ameen> 085250621819
[02:53] <qqqqq> nice password
[02:53] <bonhoffer> the ubuntu box is offline so i can't pastebin
[02:53] <qqqqq> bonhoffer: can you ping 8.8.8.8
[02:53] <bonhoffer> crap -- network is unreachable
[02:53] <qqqqq> see
[02:53] <bonhoffer> but i can get to my nas on the local network
[02:53] <bonhoffer> and other computers
[02:54] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: you're missing the default gateway, try ip route
[02:54] <qqqqq> local network is a different thing
[02:54] <bonhoffer> HeGuru:
[02:54] <bonhoffer> i've got two ip addresses there
[02:54] <ameen> number HP
[02:54] <bonhoffer> 192.168.1.0/24 and 169.254.0.0/16
[02:54] <bonhoffer> both dev eth0
[02:55] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: add a default route, ip route add default via <your router ip>
[02:55] <adel> hi
[02:56] <adel> how to istall yahoomassenger
[02:56] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: works
[02:56] <adel> for ubunto wiki
[02:56] <delron> adel try pidgin
[02:56] <bonhoffer> wonder how i can get that to stick past a logoff
[02:56] <bonhoffer> persist
[02:56] <ameen> wine
[02:56] <ameen> adel : use Wine
[02:56] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: nano /etc/network/interface
[02:56] <xangua> adel: you can use pidgin, empathy, kopete etc for yahoo im
[02:56] <volga629> adel: try use pidgin
[02:56] <delron> adel: ahh sry nm
[02:57] <adel> n't here
[02:57] <xangua> adel: there is also gyachi, a dedicated yahoo im
[02:57] <ameen> adel : or empathy
[02:57] <mneumonic> adel: pidgin is the way to go in my opinion.
[02:57] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: is /etc/network/interfaces ok
[02:57] <bonhoffer> what you meant?
[02:57] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: find the section that configures your interface and add the line gateway <your router ip> to it. Wont work if you're using networkmanager though.
[02:57] <bonhoffer> iv'e got 2 lines: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback
[02:57] <adel> can y sent the text
[02:57] <bonhoffer> pretty simple file
[02:58] <bonhoffer> think i'm using network manager by default
[02:58] <adel> hay bady
[02:59] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: then just configure using network manager in the GUI
[02:59] <bonhoffer> ok
[02:59] <bonhoffer> is there a cli way to open network manager?
[02:59] <qqqqq> HeGuru: /etc/network/interfaces
[02:59] <qqqqq> bonhoffer: sudo service network-manager start
[02:59] <qqqqq> nm-applet
[03:00] <HeGuru> qqqqq: he doesn't have GUI, needs a CLI way for NM
[03:00] <fhenning09> Hello everyone
[03:00] <bonhoffer> sorry, i couldn't find it in menus -- was looking for executable
[03:00] <fhenning09> I got a serious problem
[03:01] <rypervenche> Use wicd
[03:01] <bonhoffer> i love that default gateway -- i just want it to persist
[03:02] <rypervenche> HeGuru: Use wicd-curses
[03:02] <bonhoffer> or my default route -- /etc/network/interfaces is good, but i think network manager starts on boot and that is fine -- i just want to set it up and leave it
[03:02] <qqqqq> HeGuru: oh in that case there's no chance
[03:02] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: 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/interfaces
[03:02] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: got it
[03:02] <fhenning09> I was trying to install something my computer got stuck so I had to restart well when I came back dpkg was locked so this guy told me to just run sudo rm /usr/bin/dpkg so I did now I get this when i use the Software Center: E:Could not open file /tmp/aptdaemon-frozen-statuso97YFa/status - open (2: No such file or directory), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[03:02] <qqqqq> cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[03:03] <fhenning09> and I get : After this operation, 100MB of additional disk space will be used.
[03:03] <fhenning09> Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
[03:03] <fhenning09> Could not exec dpkg!
[03:03] <fhenning09> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)
[03:03] <fhenning09> in the cli for apt-get install
[03:03] <fhenning09> the upgrade, update switches still work though
[03:04] <fhenning09> wut the hell I'm lost any suggestions?
[03:04] <HeGuru> fhenning09: you need dpkg
[03:04] <Jasper\|\__> make sure you don't have any other package manager open
[03:04] <xangua> and you deleted it...
[03:04] <LocoenelCoco> hmm when i connect to a wireless network using the network manager applet it will try to use auto dhcp even if i had chosen manual configuration on the "network connections"??
[03:04] <HeGuru> fhenning09: which version of ubuntu are you? you can download the dpkg package using wget and extract dpkg from it.
[03:04] <fhenning09> natty
[03:07] <HeGuru> fhenning09: lets keep the chat in public so maybe others can jump in to help or may have better suggestion
[03:07] <delron> fhenning09: maybe some process is hanging try reboot ;p
[03:07] <HeGuru> fhenning09: that said, i will send you the link to dpkg package, then you can use ar command to extract the files
[03:07] <jamiewan> fhenning09: restart
[03:08] <I_Am_Jesus> one a y'all bitches is gon' betray me!!
[03:08] <fhenning09> k thanks a ton
[03:08] <Flannel> I_Am_Jesus: Please stop that.
[03:08] <I_Am_Jesus> peace
[03:08] <fhenning09> lol wow quit trolling
[03:08] <HeGuru> fhenning09: are you i386 or x64
[03:08] <fhenning09> x64
[03:08] <stege|> i am trying to vet out my new dns settings and I setup a wildcard for *.traintab.com for some reason i can resolve sample.traintab and you.traintab, but not www.traintab, any advice?
[03:09] <qin> fhenning09: ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg
[03:09] <stege|> my dns setup is here: http://pastebin.com/e5sqzTBD
[03:09] <HeGuru> fhenning09: wget http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.16.0~ubuntu7_amd64.deb
[03:10] <penos> does ubuntu unity function like windows 7 user interface?
[03:11] <HeGuru> fhenning09: once the file is downloaded, run ar x dpkg_1.16.0~ubuntu7_amd64.deb
[03:11] <qin> HeGuru: Error code 100, points to wrong permission of dpkg
[03:11] <HeGuru> qin: he removed the file using sudo rm /usr/bin/dpkg
[03:11] <qin> HeGuru: And, how to instal dpkg.deb without dpkg?
[03:11] <penos> fhenning09: what about taskbar? looks pretty similar
[03:11] <qin> HeGuru: OMG, sorry...
[03:12] <HeGuru> qin: deb is just a compressed ar file
[03:12] <xangua> fhenning09: and next time some one tell you to delete somethins on usr, do not ;)
[03:12] <xangua> http://omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/ penos this is a guide for unity
[03:13] <HeGuru> fhenning09: please read my messages here. I dont PM
[03:14] <fhenning09> I did ran both then ran : ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg
[03:14] <fhenning09> and i get this:
[03:14] <fhenning09> fredh@fredh-MS-7309:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg
[03:14] <fhenning09> ls: cannot access /usr/bin/dpkg: No such file or directory
[03:15] <HeGuru> fhenning09: have you done ar x dpkg_1.16.0~ubuntu7_amd64.deb
[03:15] <qin> fhenning09: Yeah, sorry, I did not follow this catastrophe from start, please go with HeGuru.
[03:15] <fhenning09> yep
[03:15] <HeGuru> fhenning09: ok now you should have two files in the folder. control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz
[03:16] <HeGuru> fhenning09: just uncompress data.tar.gz using: tar -zxvf data.tar.gz
[03:16] <FoolishOwl> Is it difficult to install KVM?
[03:17] <HeGuru> FoolishOwl: no its not
[03:18] <FoolishOwl> HeGuru, good. I looked at the Ubuntu wiki page on it, and it looked a bit dated.
[03:19] <HeGuru> FoolishOwl: wel maybe because nothing has changed much in KVM (install/configure prespective)
[03:20] <FoolishOwl> Makes sense. Thanks.
[03:21] <dimas_> is there a way to insert a video code in a html email in evolution and hide the scripting in the mail body on the mail?
[03:23] <fhenning09> k
[03:24] <jeremy-77> anyone know how to make a desktop shortcut of the wow.exe on ubuntu11.04?
[03:24] <HeGuru> dimas_: AFAIK evolution does not play embedded flash/video only displays images
[03:25] <dimas_> HeGuru, thank for the info
[03:26] <dimas_> HeGuru, although i manage to insert the code but when someone open the silverlight preview works good but in the body of the mail shows the coding and i dont want that
[03:29] <jeremy-77> I have World of warcraft on a different hard drive and want to make a shortcut to the wow.exe on my ubuntu desktop. I can do it on windows- right click send to desktop create shortcut but I cant figure it out on ubuntu...any help?
[03:29] <Diamondcite> Do you want it in the wine menu?
[03:29] <Diamondcite> Or just something you can type?
[03:30] <fkldkfld>  Welcome! IBP version 1.0b - :Serial:
[03:30] <Diamondcite> I wonder if symlinks would work for it.
[03:32] <rhizmoe> so, is it just me, or are webcams a common source of headaches in the ubuntu world?
[03:32] <rhizmoe> i'm on my second one. cheapies, but still.
[03:32] <jeremy-77> Diamondcite,  if you are talking to me I am just looking for a link to my desktop for it
[03:33] <jamesw> help please, my Qualcomm Gobi EVDO/GSM card stopped working after updating  from default11.04
[03:33] <Khisanth> you could do it in the opposite order, right click desktop, Create Launcher then browse :)
[03:33] <jamesw> i'm on a new dell xps
[03:34] <jamesw> and a canonical employee, am i eligible for free phone support?
[03:34] <LocoenelCoco> in 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] <HeGuru> LocoenelCoco: no longer true
[03:34] <Khisanth> jamesw: just yell at some coworkers? :)
[03:35] <jamesw> i haven't been introduced yet, start date next week
[03:35] <jamesw> trying to get my dev box up
[03:35] <bonhoffer> my ubuntu is often freezing up -- not crashing but i have to wait 2 minutes to move anything on the screen
[03:35] <bonhoffer> total mouse control
[03:35] <LocoenelCoco> HeGuru, ok so i can configure in the terminal and connect with the network applet it wont overwrite the congifuration i made?
[03:35] <bonhoffer> but i can't switch windows for example
[03:36] <HeGuru> LocoenelCoco: no, you can use network manager and configure a static ip (nm now supports manual configuration)
[03:38] <LocoenelCoco> HeGuru, yeah but can i configure it in the shell? nm wont use auto dhcp instead of the configuration ive made?
[03:38] <bonhoffer> any tips to fix this -- it is pretty much a show-stopper
[03:38] <jamesw> is there an irc channel for ubuntu advantage?
[03:39] <jamesw> i will be working in that department
[03:39] <LocoenelCoco> anyway i can do a $dhclient <interface>
[03:39] <LocoenelCoco> no need nm
[03:39] <HeGuru> LocoenelCoco: 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 nm
[03:40] <LocoenelCoco> i c
[03:40] <rhizmoe> bonhoffer: since when?
[03:42] <LocoenelCoco> HeGuru, if i change the configuration on the shell it will change on the nm too?
[03:42] <HeGuru> LocoenelCoco: no it wont
[03:42] <bonhoffer> for awhile -- but i haven't used this box in several months
[03:42] <LocoenelCoco> hm so it has his own configs
[03:42] <bonhoffer> ^^ rhizmoe
[03:43] <LocoenelCoco> ok ty HeGuru
[03:43] <LocoenelCoco> i will try
[03:43] <HeGuru> LocoenelCoco: wc, networkmanager has its own /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file as well for modifications from cli
[03:43] <bonhoffer> for example -- i have mouse control now, but i can't interact with any window
[03:44] <LocoenelCoco> i c
[03:44] <LocoenelCoco> good good
[03:44] <LocoenelCoco> :0
[03:45] <tim> hey
[03:45] <jamesw> hey, any canonical employees in here?
[03:45] <jamesw> i don't have access yet to internal irc
[03:45] <bonhoffer> rhizmoe: really hard to troubleshoot -- i just closed a window, but now can't close any others
[03:46] <bonhoffer> like 40 seconds after i click on a window i can interact with it
[03:46] <bonhoffer> cursor stays text character
[03:46] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: try ctrl+alt+f1 then login from shell and run top to see if any processes taking 100% cpu
[03:46] <LocoenelCoco> HeGuru, the file i have is /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and it has almost nothing on it, nothing about connections interfaace dhcp or such
[03:46] <bonhoffer> i'm running 10.10
[03:47] <HeGuru> LocoenelCoco: you have to create NetworkManager.conf read the man page man 5 NetworkManager.conf
[03:47] <bonhoffer> no firefox-bin is taking 22%, then compiz with 10% of cpu
[03:47] <bonhoffer> compiz is staying up there
[03:48] <bonhoffer> 13% to 10%
[03:48] <bonhoffer> HeGuru -- kill it?
[03:48] <LocoenelCoco> HeGuru, nice
[03:48] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: its not sorted by cpu usage by default, press F and k to sort by CPU
[03:49] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: oh, well i killed the compiz pids
[03:49] <bonhoffer> how do i get back to gui?
[03:49] <LocoenelCoco> i think its better to use dhclient if im going to configure it on the shell
[03:49] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: Ctrl+Alt+F7
[03:49] <zenmaster> Anyone here framiliar with SilverStripe CMS?
[03:49] <bonhoffer> yeah firefox-bin 20% then 1 and 0s
[03:49] <bonhoffer> no compiz left
[03:50] <bonhoffer> still same problem
[03:50] <bonhoffer> the shell was snappy
[03:50] <bonhoffer> :)
[03:50] <fez> bonjour
[03:50] <bonhoffer> but, for example, i can't click in the bash shell i have open
[03:51] <bonhoffer> still a freaking text cursor
[03:51] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: i would suspect the display driver next
[03:51] <bonhoffer> any idea how to troubleshoot that?
[03:51] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: what display card do you have?
[03:52] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: i don't know -- old(er) one
[03:52] <bonhoffer> i'm in shell -- can i find out without taking my box apart?
[03:52] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: lspci
[03:52] <LiveHappilyOnce> Gahhh... What does 'No such nick/channel' mean, when I try to register?
[03:53] <cpgo> how do you add a user via cli without creating a home folder?

[03:54] <HeGuru> !nvidia
[03:55] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: try the link from ubottu
[03:55] <zenmaster> Figured it out guys thank you. :D
[03:55] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: anything jump out -- sorry, i'm not much into ubuntu internals
[03:55] <LiveHappilyOnce> I've solved my problem.
[03:55] <cpgo> nvm on that
[03:56] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: well you have to download the nvidia driver or use apt-get to install the proprietary nvidia driver and then restart x or reboot
[03:56] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: so i'm kinda stuck -- i can't work my way around the frozen screen
[03:56] <bonhoffer> i'm in shell
[03:57] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: you can install nvidia driver from the shell
[03:57] <bonhoffer> got it
[03:57] <Gredeu> i'm using natty.  i have 11.10 mainline kernel.  #ubuntu+1 is silent. can anyone help me add a system fsck process in event of forced shutdown ?
[03:59] <bonhoffer> what i'm seeing in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia is that  System->Administration->Hardware Drivers  is necessary
[03:59] <bonhoffer> any link to a manual install?
[03:59] <Gredeu> ubuntu hard copies are always better
[04:00] <Gredeu> in books
[04:00] <Chris_0076> hey, I upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 about 4 days ago and my windows lag after having my computer on for about 4-5 hrs. I was here before and was told to do "gnome-panel --replace" and it got rid of the problem of gnome-panel running at 100% cpu, but now it is having similar symptoms to gnome-panel having 100% cpu but it is not shown in system monitor, any ideas?
[04:01] <bonhoffer> trying sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:01] <Chris_0076> yeah, i just did that this morning
[04:01] <bonhoffer> but i get unmet dependencies libpango1.0-0: Breaks : plymouth
[04:01] <Chris_0076> also, what I mean by lag is it seems as though the window updates every 200ms or so
[04:02] <bonhoffer> but 0.8.2-2ubuntu 5.1 is installed
[04:02] <Chris_0076> so there is a noticeable jerk to it when moving it
[04:02] <Gredeu> dad fax machine was in use i had to mail something anyway
[04:03] <bonhoffer> ah -- i can't apt-get update -- Could not get lock
[04:03] <bonhoffer> in my xserver -- i was updating
[04:03] <bonhoffer> how do i kill that?
[04:03] <bonhoffer> i'm in shell only now
[04:03] <bonhoffer> xserver still active
[04:03] <bonhoffer> i guess i'll reboot
[04:03] <FloodBot1> bonhoffer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:03] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: reboot and then disable x /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:04] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: you can just kill all processes by your user as well
[04:04] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: killall -u username -9
[04:04] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: rebooting
[04:05] <Gredeu> Mark Shuttleworth is mean.
[04:08] <bonhoffer> HeGuru i rebooted and got a terminal on xserver now
[04:09] <bonhoffer> but still can't do the driver because of unmet dependencies, i was looking in apt-sources, anything i need to add?
[04:09] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: now try installing nvidia
[04:10] <bonhoffer> i try via install nvidia-current, but get unmet dependencies: libpango1.0-0
[04:10] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: well usually no, hmm maybe you have to enable non-free repository
[04:10] <Gredeu> is online fax more efficient than over a landline ?
[04:10] <bonhoffer> which i imagine i can do in apt sources
[04:11] <primary> How do I install mutt without it grabbing postfix too?
[04:11] <bonhoffer> just uncomment something i imagine, i'll poke around
[04:12] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: yes you have to enable multiverse and universe repositories, they should be in /etc/apt/sources.list maybe commented
[04:13] <HeGuru> primary: apt-get --no-install-recommends install mutt
[04:14] <primary> HeGuru, Thank you.
[04:16] <kov`> how can i make an image of ubuntu server, which is installed on LVMs?
[04:16] <Jimwest> Some one plz help me
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> wassup Jimwest
[04:16] <Jimwest> Im unable to upldate my 11.4
[04:17] <Jimwest> Actually it is Penguy OS 11.4 64 bit
[04:17] <sweetandy> there's no such thing as 11.4
[04:17] <sweetandy> Sorry, I'm not helping
[04:18] <Jimwest> Sorry 11
[04:18] <sweetandy> 11.04*, but we all understood you :P I'm a jerk
[04:18] <Jimwest> Im getting this error message
[04:18] <Jimwest> W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://dl.dropbox.com ./ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C1622487AAA521A8
[04:18] <Jimwest> W: Failed to fetch http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1108539/dbupdate/./Release
[04:18] <Jimwest> W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[04:18] <bazhang> Jimwest, find the pinguy support channels then.
[04:18] <theadmin> Jimwest: That's... weird. Why would you have a repo on a Dropbox?
[04:19] <Flannel> Jimwest: #pinguyos is the channel you should ask in.
[04:19] <Chris_0076> hmm, does no one have a solution to my window lag problem? =/
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Jimwest: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1622487AAA521A8
[04:19] <theadmin> Flannel: Where'd that come from?
[04:19] <Flannel> theadmin: The pinguy OS website
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Jimwest: pinguy isn't supported here
[04:19] <Jimwest> can some one plz connet to my system and check this for me plz
[04:20] <Jimwest> But it was derived from ubuntu
[04:20] <theadmin> Jimwest: We're not magicians
[04:20] <Flannel> Jimwest: You need to ask the Pinguy people, we have no idea how your system is configured.
[04:20] <theadmin> Jimwest: And we do not support derivatives.
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> Jimwest: yes, but it's NOT Ubuntu
[04:20] <Jimwest> But there is a  magic software avail which is called  teamweaver?
[04:20] <Jimwest> that is true
[04:20] <theadmin> Jimwest: There is, but again we do not support derivatives :P
[04:21] <kov`> how can i make an image of ubuntu server, which is installed on LVMs?
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> Jimwest: Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian, but if you ask in in #debian for Ubuntu support you will be directed here
[04:21] <dwp__> does anybody know how I would access my external drive from the terminal
[04:21] <Jimwest> So how do i  connect with pinguy
[04:21] <Flannel> Jimwest: /join #pinguyos
[04:21] <theadmin> dwp__: Um, cd /media/whatever?
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> Jimwest: http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-Synaptics-Pkg-Manager-Getting-Repository-Error    I suggest you post on there
[04:22] <delron> kov`: if you find out let me know
[04:22] <Jimwest> Thanks man let me check and  also one more thing im great fan of ubuntu
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> Jimwest: if you install Ubuntu rather than some half baked spinoff, we can support you
[04:22] <Jimwest> In my other system  i installed ubuntu 11 its great:)
[04:23] <Gredeu> is that natty Jimwest ?
[04:24] <Jimwest> Yes
[04:24] <Gredeu> its ok.  unity doesn't update icons efficiently after package install..
[04:24] <Jimwest> But im not able to  configure my speakers 4.1 is not workin
[04:24] <Gredeu> alsamixer
[04:25] <Gredeu> as home user from terminal
[04:25] <dwp__> did not work
[04:25] <Zungo> hi, why at random times the system  freezes??
[04:25] <Gredeu> for Jimwest
[04:25] <theadmin> Zungo: Many reasons possible
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: is your RAM healthy?
[04:26] <Zungo> umm, it always happens when i kill x with key comb, always when monitor connected, and a screen ´shock´ when going gksu
[04:27] <Zungo> mmm yea
[04:27] <Zungo> i have 2gb -.-
[04:27] <Zungo> in x64
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: when did you last test it?
[04:27] <kov`> i'm trying to clone an LVM to VirtualBox, is this possible? if so, how?
[04:27] <Zungo> just now, every time i use ubuntu i test this
[04:27] <Zungo> always
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: no, there is a tester in Grub, THAT is a memory test
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> !clone | kov`
[04:28] <Zungo> oh, i tought you were reffering to the iusse
[04:28] <Zungo> the freezeing
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: the apps run in RAM including the OS, if the RAM is bad it may cause freezing
[04:28] <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)
[04:29] <Zungo> also, looks like since i updated the gpu driver (enabled propetary), freezeing happens
[04:30] <Zungo> i believe is more graphics related
[04:30] <Zungo> ActionParsnip...
[04:31] <Zungo> ok, i just need to sleeep, c´mon, answers?
[04:32] <Zungo> Please i need to go bed now, any answers?????
[04:32] <theadmin> Zungo: You gave like no info at all.
[04:32] <VerdeNube> hi,
[04:32] <Zungo> why ?
[04:32] <theadmin> Zungo: We can't answer without knowing what the frack is going on
[04:33] <dalmo> any idea why im getting "error while moving" - error moving file: permisson denied?
[04:33] <Zungo> ok, i have a amd c-50 dual core x64 1ghz cpu, 2gb of ram, ati raedon 6250 and with prop drivers and ubuntu 11.04 x64
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: I gave you a suggestion....what more do you need
[04:33] <Zungo> with everything to date
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: you clearly haven't done it either as 2Gb on ANYsystem takes time
[04:34] <gaelfx> what can I do with a separate /boot partition?
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: sometimes it's needed in RAID configs to boot
[04:34] <bastidrazor> gaelfx: waste a primary partition
[04:34] <sjihs> Hi, 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?
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> !kernel | sjihs
[04:35] <Zungo> yeah, but i believe that is more graphics related than a memory iusse, ActionParsnip
[04:35] <dalmo> any idea why im getting "error while moving" - error moving file: permisson denied? when i try moving a file into a folder
[04:35] <sjihs> ActionParsnip: I wanted to use oprofile application. This requires a vmlinux (not a vmlinuz). Hence recompiling the kernel to get a vmlinux image.
[04:35] <HeGuru> sjihs: run make menuconfig in kernel sources folder
[04:36] <bastidrazor> dalmo: your user does not have the required permissions to write to the destination folder
[04:36] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: 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] <sjihs> HeGuru: Yes, but then the resulting .config file may not match with the .config used to compile the kernel that comes with ubuntu
[04:36] <dalmo> bastidrazor: what can i do?
[04:36] <bastidrazor> dalmo: what are you trying to do? copy what to where?
[04:37] <sjihs> The config.gz entry in /proc does not seem to there
[04:37] <dalmo> bastidrazor: using awesome WM, trying to install a theme
[04:37] <theadmin> dalmo: Just try to do it as root
[04:37] <HeGuru> sjihs: to use existing config copy /boot/config-2.6.<your kernel version> to .config in kernel sources
[04:37] <dalmo> theadmin: how would i do that?
[04:37] <HeGuru> sjihs: then run make oldconfig
[04:37] <sjihs> HeGuru: ok
[04:37] <theadmin> !sudo | dalmo
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> sjihs: that's fine, the guide is there
[04:38] <sjihs> HeGuru: thanks. Thats exactly what i needed
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> You can reinstate grub from the liveCD if that's what you need
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> sjihs: that information is in the link ubottu gave....
[04:40] <sjihs> ActionParsnip: Yes, I had not completely read that page. My bad.
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> sjihs: no worries, the links and factoids are there to save time writing the same stuff as users often ask the same stuff
[04:42] <bitcycle> Hey all.  Does anyone use the awesome windows mgr?
[04:44] <amh345> is * */2 * * * the proper way to get a cron to run twice an hour?
[04:44] <tarfart> hi
[04:45] <tarfart> I ran apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings; and now the vga port on my laptop doesn't work.  (I want to use a monitor with my laptop).
[04:45] <somsip> amh345: */30 * * * *
[04:46] <yeticry> hello
[04:46] <yeticry> ubuntu is great.
[04:46] <theadmin> yeticry: Thanks. However, please do note that this channel is only for support questions.
[04:47] <liuqiaoyun> How are you
[04:47] <theadmin> !ot | liuqiaoyun
[04:47] <liuqiaoyun> hi
[04:47] <HeGuru> tarfart: you have to use the nvidia x server settings tool to enable vga port
[04:48] <tarfart> HeGuru: what is the name of the command ?
[04:48] <tarfart> nvidia-xconfig ?
[04:48] <HeGuru> nvidia-settings
[04:48] <theadmin> tarfart: No, that just generates a standard xorg.conf to use with nvidia... To tweak it you need to use nvidia-settings
[04:49] <tarfart> nvidia-settings it is. gimmie a sec.
[04:51] <liuqiaoyun> hi
[04:51] <kov`> how large, in GB, should i expect ubuntu server to grow over time? it doesn't do a lot, just basic network tasks (ie, not a web/file server)
[04:51] <ryannathans> ohelp
[04:51] <HeGuru> kov`: we have ubuntu server running on a 4GB flash card with 80% free since 3+ years
[04:52] <ryannathans> I need to install broardcom STA wireless drivers on my bootable usb to use network, but I don't have any persistance and it keeps failing, it's the "Additional Drivers"
[04:52] <kov`> HeGuru: excellent, thanks
[04:53] <delron> lol xorg.conf
[04:53] <delron> it just never goes away does it
[04:55] <Chris_0076> it appears to be a problem with Compiz, when I move a window very fast on the screen and watch system monitor compiz jumps up to 100% cpu usage =/
[05:00] <chipmonk> what would i use to pickup any file in a directory open it with doc viewer
[05:00] <chipmonk> then print it
[05:00] <chipmonk> then erase it
[05:00] <ryannathans>  script
[05:01] <chipmonk> a particular directory
[05:01] <ryannathans> so?
[05:01] <chipmonk> a script writtin in?
[05:01] <ryannathans> whachu talkin bout
[05:01] <ryannathans> you want to print it and then erase it, yes?
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> delron: some video chips still need it :)
[05:02] <chipmonk> yes
[05:02] <chipmonk> is workaround for windows 7 not supporting my laster printer
[05:02] <ryannathans> could be a script written in multiple languages
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> chipmonk: you could cron a job to scan the directory, then have a bash script to print the docs found
[05:03] <chipmonk> cron?
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> chipmonk: yes, cron
[05:03] <chipmonk> the files are pdf
[05:03] <chipmonk> what is cron
[05:03] <simpleblue> what would be better to download, the daily build or the alpha 3 build
[05:04] <Doonz> can multiple iscsi targets be combined into lvm's?
[05:04] <veganadian> Doonz : yes.
[05:04] <SIFTU> Doonz: of course
[05:05] <simpleblue> can i update the a daily build?
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> !cron | chipmonk instead of asking, why not RESEARCH and find out
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> simpleblue: oneiric is offtopic here, ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:05] <simpleblue> thanks ActionParsnip
[05:05] <chipmonk> am reading newbie intro to cron as we speak
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> chipmonk: good :)
[05:06] <chipmonk> thx actionparsnip
[05:06] <chipmonk> had never heard of it
[05:06] <Doonz> ok with lvm's if they span two disk's and one disk crashes the entire lvm is lost correct
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> chipmonk: you'll have a script to do the task once, then use cron to make it happen as frequently as you like
[05:06] <tarfart> Does X use xorg.conf anymore?  Is that how I save my nvidia-settings?
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> Doonz: as far as I know, yes. But backups will save you
[05:07] <tarfart> I want my nvidia-settings persistant after I reboot.
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> tarfart: it can if one is present
[05:07] <Doonz> yeah but trying to minimized restoring 100tb of data
[05:07] <SIFTU> Doonz: yeah it will.. but doesnt your iscsi target run some kind of raid?
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> tarfart: 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 stick
[05:08] <Doonz> yeah but what happens to the iscsi link say if the switch craters?
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Doonz: which is disposable to you, right?
[05:08] <Doonz> ActionParsnip: yeah but the hours of restoring isnt
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Doonz: no backup == data has zero value
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Doonz: sadly, drives fail dude
[05:09] <SIFTU> Doonz: well yes you would lose your disk if you dont have redundant switching in place
[05:09] <Doonz> SIFTU: ok
[05:09] <cvalero> hi
[05:10] <SIFTU> Doonz: saying that, most places would run dual switches, and a good RAID on the SAN
[05:10] <Doonz> yeah the san will be raided
[05:10] <Doonz> im just more looking at the lvm side of things
[05:10] <SIFTU> well lvm would work like a stripe (RAID0) with multiple iscsi luns
[05:11] <simpleblue> does anyone know if pygame is available (and working) for python 3
[05:11] <Doonz> yeah thats what i was thinking
[05:11] <Doonz> and i dont really wanna do Hardware raid with a software raid on top of it
[05:11] <theadmin> simpleblue: No, it's not. Python 3 as of now has very lame module support
[05:11] <SIFTU> Doonz: but thats not a problem is you have everything set up right
[05:11] <chelz> how do i make a custom keyboard shortcut to launch a program, say ctrl alt f for firefox?
[05:12] <SIFTU> Doonz: no you shouldnt have too
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut  | chelz
[05:12] <Doonz> SIFTU: mind taking this to pm
[05:12] <simpleblue> thats not what i wanted to hear theadmin :*(
[05:12] <SIFTU> Doonz: sure
[05:12] <theadmin> simpleblue: Well, I'm not gonna lie
[05:12] <simpleblue> at least i know
[05:13] <simpleblue> any reason for python not supporting it?
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> simpleblue: have you asked in #python
[05:14] <simpleblue> not yet
[05:22] <Fudge> hi what is the command to change default editor plz?
[05:23] <theadmin> Fudge: You just set $EDITOR
[05:23] <Fudge> theadmin  there  is a script or program u can call to change from nano to vi or what ever
[05:26] <Sharon> Anyone know a good site with alot of scripts, shell programs? kinda like a cookbook online for ubuntu users lol
[05:27] <||arifaX> Fudge: http://bit.ly/mQ8g72

[05:41] <Duolos> I see a LOT of "Missing Plug-In" errors all over the web (using Chrome). Any idea how I can figure out what plugins are actually missing?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: what site(s), I may be ableto advise
[05:42] <Duolos> Nearly any site that uses non-flash video
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: can you give an example please
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: I can see what plugin is then used
[05:46] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: Sorry, it's embedded as "shockwave-flash"
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: can you give a pastebin of:   uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep "flash|gnash|swf"
[05:48] <Duolos> http://pastebin.com/5VdPBV7p
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: how did you install flash?
[05:49] <Duolos> I didn't.
[05:49] <Duolos> At least, I don't remember doing so.  I know that Chrome has the plugin built-in
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: then run:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: will give 64bit flash, should be fine :)
[05:50] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: Flash works on almost every site I've been to, though.  But I'll give it a shot
[05:50] <Duolos> Wait, what is "sevenmachines?"  Never heard of it.
[05:51] <Gredeu> trustable
[05:51] <Duolos> ...says the anonymous random guy on the internet lol
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: its the name of a PPA holding the very latest 64bit flash
[05:52] <Gredeu> i'm a non-conformist but not that type
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: its pretty sweet
[05:53] <Duolos> Alright.  I'll do a little research on it.  Thanks for your help.
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: you will need to close then open your browser to load the plugin
[05:53] <astro5> if i installed gnash cause i couldn't get flash working, then i got flash working...will gnash interfere at all? should i uninstall gnash?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> astro5: if you want to switch flash plugin then you will need to uninstall gnash or you will get a conflict
[05:54] <astro5> ok
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> astro5: you will need to uninstall mozilla-plugin-gnash, gnash and gnash-common
[05:55] <astro5> thanks
[05:56] <Gredeu> hi ActionParsnip
[05:57] <chelz> ActionParsnip: wooo! yesss
[05:57] <chelz> that Add button worked a treat
[05:58] <tanath> is there a way to have the time and date display when screen is locked?
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> sup chelz
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> hi Gredeu
[05:59] <chelz> you're awesome, ty
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> :D
[06:02] <delron> tanath: what wm are you using
[06:03] <delron> in any case you should be able to use xscreensaver which has a banner screensave i think that has that
[06:05] <TheCyph3r> aside from file transfer, what can SSH be utilized for?
[06:05] <tanath> delron, compiz w/gtk window decorator
[06:06] <tanath> delron, i realize one can use screensavers to display info, but the screensaver is not displayed when you unblank the screen.
[06:06] <tanath> delron, and i prefer blanking to screesavers
[06:06] <SIFTU> TheCyph3r: remote shells, tunneling etc
[06:06] <delron> right, idk
[06:07] <delron> so gdm doesnt display i take it
[06:07] <tanath> delron, it asks you to enter the password...
[06:08] <mukti> I've been on my computer for about an hour and three times, a window has popped up that says "Debconf BlackMesa", then disappears after a second or two (BlackMesa is my computer name). Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it because I am installing software?
[06:08] <delron> hmmph
[06:08] <tanath> delron, i'm not clear on what visible functions are handled by gdm
[06:09] <tanath> mukti, sounds like it, yes. it happens for some things
[06:09] <tanath> mukti, used to only happen when there was actually something to display to the user though...
[06:09] <delron> idk how configurable it is either, i usually disable it entirely
[06:10] <tanath> delron, you don't run X?
[06:10] <mukti> tanath: What does it mean? When i searched it on google, I just kept getting results about the Debian conference, Debconf
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> mukti: what is the output of:  lsb_release -c
[06:10] <delron> mukti: Gordon is probaly hacking into ur puter u might need to firewall him
[06:11] <tanath> mukti, debconf is "a configuration management system for debian packages. Packages use Debconf to ask questions when they are installed."
[06:11] <tanath> mukti, "apt-cache show debconf"
[06:12] <delron> wow no wonder these chips are so stale...
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> mukti: it's a terminal command, you can copy /paste to the terminal
[06:13] <mukti> ActionParsnip: natty
[06:13] <mukti> delron: what?
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> mukti: probably caused by updates.
[06:13] <delron> Barney might have copy of Norton Interent Security
[06:14] <lorddelta> would this be a good place to get help with troubleshooting performance?
[06:14] <lorddelta> This is kinda ridiculous.
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: in ubuntu, yes
[06:14] <lorddelta> My Windows XP install runs better than my Ubuntu.
[06:14] <mukti> ActionParsnip: Is there anything I can do about it? Or should I just leave it be?
[06:15] <lorddelta> My Windows XP install running inside Virtual Box inside Ubuntu runs better than my Ubuntu X_X
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> mukti: just let it fly for now, if its during updates/installs then itsok, if you get it randomly then I'd review the situation
[06:15] <lorddelta> So obviously there is something seriously wrong with my ubuntu performance.
[06:15] <tanath> mukti, it's likely due to enabling security updates to automatically install, which will sometimes cause debconf to run
[06:15] <lorddelta> Any help would be appreciated.
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: what CPU/ RAM / Video chip do you use?
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: and what is the output of:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release
[06:16] <mukti> ActionParsnip: I think it is installs that I am doing
[06:16] <tanath> lorddelta, vbox is an app you're running on ubuntu, so it would seem to be app-dependent then, no?
[06:16] <Nicolus> what does tar -x $< mean ? I know $ is the command prompt... but what is < ?
[06:17] <mukti> has anyone used hdaps on a on a thinkpad T420?
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Nicolus: it usually redirects some input in, not see it with tar though
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Nicolus: usually you'd use:  tar xvf filename.tar
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Nicolus: or you can abstract ALL extractions and use unp ;)
[06:18] <lorddelta> tanath: 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] <Nicolus> ok sorry that was tar -xjf $<
[06:19] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Ran it.
[06:19] <Nicolus> wait i will try and see where it extracts .. i think its the same working directory
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: what is the URL generated?
[06:19] <delron> mukti: i thought BlackMesa is from the game Half-Life,
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: you also haven't entertained my other question
[06:20] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677024/
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> delron: it is
[06:20] <harry_> hey...
[06:20] <tanath> lorddelta, have you tried narrowing things down by closing apps? close the browser; better? yes: prolly browser. no: next step...
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: ok you have the latest stable release
[06:20] <delron> lorddelta: what is not performant?
[06:20] <harry_> i got the error msg when i fire "make" command in the directory which has the whitespace in the directory name..??
[06:21] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: One sec, Off hand its something like 2 GB RAM, 2.6 GHz Processor, 512 MB Geforce 9600M Video....
[06:21] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: was going to hunt down something a bit more informative though
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: did you install to proprietary display driver?
[06:21] <tk_> compiz plzzzzzzzzzzzz??
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: that's enough info dude :)
[06:21] <tk_> blackbuntu
[06:22] <mukti> delron: it is, i didn't get the reference lol
[06:23] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Proprietary Drivers, I believe I did...lemme double check.
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: run:  nvidia-settings    if you get any errors, it's not installed
[06:23] <delron> lorddelta: That really does not surprise me anyway..
[06:24] <mukti> ActionParsnip: Okay, that debconf thing just popped up about 6 times after I finished installing a program...
[06:24] <lorddelta> huh...ok apparently its not. Lots of errors, the X Server settings dialog came up anyhow.
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: I've ran a full gnome + compiz install on a lot less than that with a 6150LE onboard nvidia just fine
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: then I suggest you look into that, probably why it's slow
[06:25] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: 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] <ActionParsnip> mukti: ok let updates finish, then reboot. Use the OS as normal to see if t still happens
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: what is the output of:  sudo lshw -C display; dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> delron: what are you not suprised by?
[06:30] <DKSAINI> The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server.Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> DKSAINI: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin   may help
[06:31] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677029/
[06:31] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: sorry not the best formatted.
[06:31] <lorddelta> I ran "echo $(sudo lshw -C display; dpkg -l | grep nvidia) | pastebinit"
[06:31] <lorddelta> to get that
[06:32] <DKSAINI> Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
[06:32] <delron> mukti: hehe sorry yea i thought maybe i say Gordon F. :D
[06:32] <zed_> does any one know a command in chatzzila, some thing like "who i am"
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> zed_: use:   /whois zed_
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: seems you are using the nvidia driver. You may need to use:  sudo nvidia-xconfig     then restart X to load it a little better, save all work etc
[06:35] <delron> lorddelta: you could try running top then hit 'P' to sort by CPU use...
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: if it makes you get no desktop, boot to root recovery mode and delete the xorg.conf file
[06:36] <Duolos> bloody hell.  How do I install a working flash plugin to use with Chrome?
[06:36] <delron> ActionParsnip: i tend to find Linux is less performant thna Winblows on equal hardware... welll back in the day Unreal Tournament ran better on Linux than Win..
[06:36] <soreau> Duolos: Usually flashplugin-nonfree package should work
[06:37] <DKSAINI> Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
[06:37] <DKSAINI> Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
[06:37] <delron> yrmv
[06:37] <Duolos> soreau: Nope.  Even YouTube keeps telling me I need to update Flash.
[06:38] <soreau> Duolos: How did you install chrome?
[06:38] <tanath> Duolos, do you have javascript disabled?
[06:38] <Duolos> soreau: I think I installed it from Google's .deb.
[06:38] <Duolos> tanath: I didn't specifically disable it, no.
[06:38] <tanath> Duolos, check about:plugins
[06:39] <soreau> Duolos: Try instead removing that and installing chromium-browser from ubuntu repos
[06:39] <Duolos> tanath: I did... Flash isn't even listed there.
[06:39] <mukti> what is the ubuntu offtopic irc?
[06:39] <Duolos> soreau: I don't want Chromium, though.  I want Chrome.
[06:39] <geirha> Duolos: IIRC, google-chrome ships with its own flash plugin
[06:39] <tanath> soreau, if one doesn't see it, the other almost certainly won't either
[06:39] <AMD> i want to install safari browser on ubuntu.
[06:39] <soreau> Duolos: Chances are you'll have to manually copy the flash binary to wherever chrome is looking for it
[06:39] <Duolos> I use the syncing features and last I heard Chromium didn't have them.
[06:40] <soreau> tanath: Not necessarily..
[06:40] <tanath> soreau, links are better
[06:40] <Duolos> geirha: Yeah, it HAS flash, but an old version of it, apparently.  I've very confused myself.
[06:40] <soreau> Duolos: tanath: Well technically, we don't support chrome here since it's not in official repos
[06:41] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Hmm...did what you suggested. Still on start, just with awn, pidgin, and gnome-system-monitor started I'm at like 600 MB
[06:41] <Duolos> *sigh*
[06:41] <tanath> soreau, chrome has features chromium lacks. and ubuntu benefits from google, so i wouldn't be hard-line on that
[06:41] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: I should mention I noticed that it does the weird thing its been doing for a while now whenever I log on.
[06:41] <Duolos> This channel always tells me to f-off any time I ask for help with anything not in the repos
[06:42] <AMD> can i install safari on ubuntu?
[06:42] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: 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] <mukti> Is there a proper place to "install" an application when you obtain the tar.bz/tar.bz2/tar/etc. file ?
[06:42] <Blue1> AMD: if there is one made for linux, probably.
[06:42] <tanath> Duolos, my chrome sees flash  Version: 10.3.183
[06:42] <Duolos> lol 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" lol
[06:42] <Duolos> tanath: Yeah... apparently YouTube is now asking for version 13-something
[06:43] <tanath> zuh?
[06:43] <Blue1> mukti: the usual place would be /usr/local/bin
[06:43] <tanath> last i heard of was like v11
[06:43] <sterna> hey there
[06:43] <tanath> Duolos, and youtube WFM
[06:43] <sterna> how do i make grub not show the menu after a crash?
[06:43] <soreau> sterna: what?
[06:43] <sterna> i have a sort of "embedded" thing that always brings up a grub menu when it loses power
[06:44] <Blue1> sterna: that makes no sense
[06:44] <sterna> but if i reboot normally, it does not
[06:44] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Oh well I guess I'll try fiddling more with the vid drivers. Thanks for your help anyhow. =/
[06:44] <tanath> Duolos, mine's finding flash plugin here: /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[06:44] <Duolos> hmmm I must have seen that wrong
[06:44] <Duolos> Either 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] <ActionParsnip> tanath: chromium is the open source which is used in snapshot to make chrome
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> tanath: so chromium will have alpha features not in chrome :)
[06:44] <tanath> ActionParsnip, i know. google rebrands chromium and adds a few features
[06:44] <tanath> ActionParsnip, i know. i've used both for a long time
[06:44] <mukti> Blue1: So when I get a tar/gzip/tar.bz/etc. file I can just put it in there, and extract it?
[06:44] <Duolos> However, apt shows I have both flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree installed already.
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> tanath: me too, i use the daily build
[06:45] <soreau> sterna: Maybe ask in #grub? This is the first I've heard of such a 'feature'
[06:45] <sterna> ok
[06:45] <tanath> ActionParsnip, i used to... but chromium will apparently never have certain features of chrome, so i can handle delayed features and more stability
[06:45] <Blue1> mukti: no you would extract the tar there
[06:45] <sterna> me too, that's why i'm quite confused
[06:45] <sterna> it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere
[06:45] <Blue1> mukti: private message ok?
[06:45] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: Chromium will never feature the syncing features of Chrome.
[06:45] <mukti> Blue1: yeah
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> tanath: i like the newer features, gets exciting after a new upgrade what newness will pop up
[06:46] <geirha> Duolos: 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] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: it could with an extension...
[06:46] <tanath> ActionParsnip, still get that with chrome, just time-delayed ;)
[06:46] <tanath> ActionParsnip, but chrome lets you do things like print to PDF
[06:46] <soreau> sterna: Also you could poke around in the grub files in /etc/default/ and /etc/grub/
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: the chrome/ium plugins folder is /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
[06:46] <soreau> ! grub2 | sterna
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> tanath: I have a software PDF printer for that
[06:47] <sterna> yeah i've been through those but couldn't find anything mentioning that
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> tanath: lets ANY app print to PDF
[06:47] <tanath> ActionParsnip, they don't reder the same. links don't show, etc
[06:47] <tanath> *render
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> tanath: works fine here, i guess its a !wfm
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> tanath: I just like to try the alpha stuff, makes things fun
[06:48] <tanath> ActionParsnip, well i played with a few and found chrome's rendering to be better, so stuck with it
[06:48] <tanath> ActionParsnip, yeah, i know the feeling, but i actually uses google's sync and the print-to-pdf occasionally
[06:49] <soreau> How is chromium's print-to-pdf different than FF's?
[06:50] <tanath> soreau, chrome's. chromium doesn't have it, IIRC
[06:50] <tanath> soreau, i found some pages didn't have links when not using chrome
[06:50] <tanath> and using the pdf printer thing didn't
[06:51] <Duolos> hmm... even tried install Chromium.  Still can't even view anything on YouTube.
[06:51] <injector> restricted extras?
[06:51] <Duolos> I swear it all worked perfect two days ago... did YouTube change something?
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> injector: can you phrase it as a FULL question
[06:51] <soreau> I've found there is a much wider variety of add-ons/plugins for FF than there are for chrome
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: did you get the 64bit PPA I gave?
[06:51] <tanath> Duolos, try reinstalling the flash packages?
[06:52] <fhenning09> s
[06:52] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: That wouldn't explain why it just stopped working
[06:52] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: But no, I didn't.
[06:52] <tanath> Duolos, also, check if flash works in other browsers, like firefox
[06:52] <Duolos> tanath: Nope.  Doesn't work in any of them anymore.
[06:52] <soreau> -_-
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: then that's why ;)
[06:52] <DKSAINI> Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[06:53] <tanath> Duolos, so this was after an update i'm guessing?
[06:53] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: So, because it worked yesterday, but I didn't install the 64 bit version today, that explains everything? lol
[06:53] <tanath> DKSAINI, run with 'sudo' in front
[06:53] <Duolos> tanath: ...actually, just did install the updates today, yeah.
[06:53] <tanath> DKSAINI, or close synaptic or anything other package manager apps
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: not sure there but your output shows no flash plugin, installing one will sort it
[06:54] <tanath> Duolos, check for more updates? maybe go back to older version? see if it works again
[06:54] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: I can't install it.  Apt says they're all already installed.
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: if you go to about:config    does it show one is in use?
[06:55] <tanath> Duolos, did you try reinstalling as i suggested?
[06:55] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: about:config is a blank page in Chromium
[06:55] <Duolos> tanath: trying that now
[06:55] <tanath> ActionParsnip, it doesn't have about:config, but he already said about:plugins doesn't list it
[06:56] <AMD> amjad
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: could try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FlashFix#preview
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> tanath: yeah, mixed wires.
[06:56] <tanath> it happens :P
[06:57] <jigal_> hello i am getting this error when reloading apache http://pastebin.com/nr2CU6JP any idea's?
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: what is the output of:  sudo find / -name "libflashplayer.so"
[06:57] <Duolos> Okay okay... hang on.  I'm trying like 6 suggestions from you two lol
[06:57] <tanath> Duolos, or faster: "file /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so"
[06:58] <chaospsychex> how do i install a FONT i have downloaded
[06:58] <Duolos> holy hell, man
[06:58] <Duolos> lol
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> jigal_: do you have your hostname resolving to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> !font | chaospsychex
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> tanath: /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so: ERROR: cannot open `/var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so' (No such file or directory)
[06:59] <bullgard6> What DEB program package provides the "English - German Dictionary 1.5 [english-german]"?
[06:59] <Duolos> hmm... the 64bit version seems to have worked.
[06:59] <tanath> ActionParsnip, i have the flash plugins installed, and chrome, and flash works, and that's what it's using for flash plugin...
[07:00] <mukti> What would I use to extract a zip folder in cli?
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> tanath: it may not necessarily be where you expect, I only have it in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins   for example
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> mukti: unzip filename
[07:00] <jigal_> ActionParsnip, my hosts file was indeed corrupt
[07:00] <tanath> ActionParsnip, that's chromium ;)
[07:00] <jigal_> but i still get one error
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> jigal_: the secret is in the error, read the error and think how I came to the conclusion
[07:00] <jigal_> ActionParsnip,  * Reloading web server config apache2                                                                                        apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> tanath: its still good to search, covers all bases
[07:01] <ace> hello. I need a download accelerator for ubuntu. where can I get one?
[07:01] <tanath> Duolos, so flash is working?
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> jigal_: i'd askin #apache
[07:01] <prem> hi all
[07:02] <tanath> ActionParsnip, more info, but i figure if it was missing we might have the answer there...
[07:02] <prem> is there a way to change my color monitor to display black & white desktop in ubuntu?
[07:02] <tanath> ActionParsnip, or even more info
[07:02] <Duolos> tanath: Yeah, seems to be
[07:02] <Duolos> ...for now
[07:02] <prem> i tries changing themes to high contrast..but it doesnt change the content
[07:02] <tanath> lol
[07:02] <Duolos> Thanks, tanath and ActionParsnip :)
[07:02] <jigal_> ActionParsnip, ok tnx
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: 64bit flash rocks
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> Duolos: the files it adds makes it work for all browsers
[07:07] <Duolos> ActionParsnip: Awesome, thanks!
[07:08] <wildbat> '
[07:13] <gaelfx> If 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] <tanath> gaelfx, you could mount the 2nd to a subdir inside home folder..
[07:13] <ryannathans> raid slunds like best option
[07:13] <ryannathans> 6^
[07:13] <tanath> depends what you wanna do
[07:14] <gaelfx> tanath: 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 subdirs
[07:15] <gaelfx> tanath: so I guess I would have to do RAID :S
[07:15] <gaelfx> I just worry about one of the drives failing
[07:16] <jonathon> Strange network manager issue on Dell Mini 9. I have the proprietary STA driver installed, OS sees hardware but doesn't see any networks.
[07:16] <tanath> gaelfx, make backups of important data.. drive space is cheap
[07:17] <gaelfx> tanath: well, doesn't RAID leve 2+ basically do that?
[07:17] <jonathon> Strange network manager issue on Dell Mini 9. I have the proprietary STA driver installed, OS sees hardware but doesn't see any networks. Lubuntu 10.04, network manager 0.8, have run update/upgrade.
[07:17] <mukti> Does anyone use any anti-theft software on ubuntu?
[07:17] <tanath> gaelfx, don't recall off the top of my head. been a while since i've looked at raid levels
[07:18] <gaelfx> ugh, pidgin is not dealing with large chatrooms well lately...very disappointing
[07:18] <chaospsychex> where is the gimp script folder at ?
[07:18] <tanath> gaelfx, empathy is a good alternative
[07:18] <gaelfx> tanath: I'm on Windows atm
[07:18] <gaelfx> tanath: my ubuntubox is basically a media center
[07:19] <mj_latex> hello
[07:19] <mj_latex> latex
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan     do you see networks?
[07:19] <tanath> gaelfx, heh. i much prefer the other - wait, no i don't. i use linux for both...
[07:19] <mukti> rockey: okay, well are these options off in the default configuration?
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: could install pidgin on your linux box, then use x forwarding to use pidgin ;)
[07:20] <mukti> sorry wrong channel lol
[07:20] <jonathon> ActionParsnip "No scan results"
[07:20] <delron> gaelfx: im using Pidgin on win 7 and yeah it is laggy as all get out
[07:20] <tanath> gaelfx, you using pidgin for irc? it's never handled irc that well
[07:20] <gaelfx> tanath: well, when I replace this laptop, I'm gonna run ubuntu on it
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: ok if you run:  dmesg | grep -i firm   what is output? Use a pastebin to host please
[07:20] <mj_latex> yeah
[07:20] <delron> just grabgbed Xchat-WDK and may check that out
[07:21] <gaelfx> tanath: I never had a problem before 2.9.0, but even in 2.10.0 the large chatroom issue still persists, only now it doesn't eat ridiculous CPU
[07:21] <tanath> gaelfx, prefer xchat, but don't know anything as good for free on windows...
[07:21] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: good point :D
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: could use hydrairc, its what I used in my windows days
[07:21] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: thing is, I want one program for all my IM needs
[07:23] <jonathon> ActionParsnip no output from that command
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: ok that's cool, can you pastebin the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; sudo rfkill list         Thanks
[07:24] <delron> pidgin unfortunately does not support SASL yet either, nad according to the devs it will not be for the near future
[07:25] <jonathon> Dug through the dmesg and it's Broadcom BCM4315 ... 5.60.48.36
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: can you pastebin the text please
[07:25] <tanath> gaelfx, i hesitate to recommend it due to past actions, but digsby is pretty handy, and is what you're looking for
[07:25] <gaelfx> tanath: which past actions?
[07:26] <mukti> is the java jdk installed on ubuntu?
[07:26] <tanath> gaelfx, i'm trying to remember exactly what they did, but it was something i and others didn't like...
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> mukti: not by default
[07:26] <mukti> ActionParsnip: Okay, I forget if I have it installed, how would I find out if it is?
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> mukti: dpkg -l | grep jdk     may do it
[07:27] <tanath> gaelfx, oh yeah, i think they were using people's cpu power without their consent
[07:27] <wildbat> Q: how to make intel fake raid show on gparted? i can mount and use them but it ain't showing in gparted.
[07:28] <tanath> gaelfx, looks like there are other concerns too though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digsby#Privacy_and_other_concerns
[07:28] <xxg> *
[07:28] <philipballew> how would i kill the x server ti install a new graphics driver
[07:29] <mukti> ActionParsnip: okay, that worked. I have a few openjdk's and default-jdk
[07:29] <tanath> philipballew, logging out should do the trick
[07:30] <gaelfx> philipballew: so the newer driver from Jockey didn't work, eh?
[07:30] <tanath> philipballew, if you just want a terminal not attached to X, hit ctrl+alt+f1. ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to x
[07:31] <chaospsychex> where is the gime scripts folder ?
[07:33] <tanath> gaelfx, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients
[07:33] <gaelfx> tanath: at risk of OTing, I think Ninite would install it without that, but I'm not really sure
[07:33] <bambanx> guys a goo pack of icons for ubuntu?
[07:33] <jonathon> ActionParsnip http://pastebin.com/58JZxDpg
[07:33] <tanath> gaelfx, i don't know if it's optional during install. might need disabling after..
[07:34] <tanath> gaelfx, also dunno if ninite has it.
[07:34] <gaelfx> tanath: bugger all, thanks for the info though. Ninite does have it, I remember thinking "what the heck is that?"
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> bambanx: check www.gnome-look.org
[07:34] <bambanx> ok thanks
[07:34] <tanath> gaelfx, check the wikipedia comparison page for alternatives
[07:35] <gaelfx> does Ninite do a decent job of keeping, for example, Transmission up to date in Ubuntu, or should I just stick with PPAs?
[07:35] <tanath> gaelfx, sort by type and look through multi-protocol
[07:35] <tanath> gaelfx, heh, i forgot there was even ninite for linux
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: try:  sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl; sudo modprobe wl
[07:35] <tanath> gaelfx, i use deluge for torrents anyway...
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: i'd go for PPA personally
[07:37] <nooblet> Any easy way to incrementally sort the contents of a binary file?
[07:37] <szal> nooblet: ?
[07:38] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: not to be nitpicky, but any particular reason?
[07:38] <nooblet> szal: you have a 4 bytes file containing the following: AB CD EF 01, you want to end up with 01 AB CD EF (sorted).
[07:38] <jonathon> ActionParsnip: Command returned nothing
[07:38] <tanath> gaelfx, looks like miranda would be your best bet on windows...
[07:39] <tanath> gaelfx, 'cause he loves the bleeding edge :P
[07:39] <urlin2u> nooblet, please don't ask the same question on multiple channels
[07:39] <nooblet> urlin2u: different OS, different question.
[07:39] <gaelfx> tanath: don't we all?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: that's good, does the wireless work ok now?
[07:39] <urlin2u> nooblet, same exact question, it is rude to the help.
[07:39] <geirha> nooblet: Should be easy with a little python script
[07:39] <tanath> well... no. :P i do, but some need stability
[07:40] <jonathon> ActionParsnip: No same
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | jonathon is all I can suggest is read this
[07:40] <nooblet> urlin2u: I disagree -- one is 'how to do X under Y OS?' and the other is 'how to do X under Z OS?' -- the answers will also greatly vary.
[07:41] <urlin2u> nooblet, a OP would tell you this I ask nicely.
[07:41] <nooblet> urlin2u: alright hun.
[07:43] <jonathon> ActionParsnip: Thanks I'll try that
[07:47] <Sharon> where would be a good place to start to learn web development being a complete beginner?
[07:48] <Sharon> I know a little about apache and how to setup lamp stacks past that I'm lost
[07:48] <philipballew> how do i kill my xserver
[07:49] <soreau> Sharon: You could start with html. There is #html and #css
[07:49] <mukti> what is the terminal command to get the java sdk, apt-get install java-sdk?
[07:49] <soreau> philipballew: You can restart it by logging out..
[07:50] <Stanley00> mukti: how about netbean ide or eclipse?
[07:50] <delron> Sharon: i think javascript is pretty cool maybe learn that?
[07:50] <JamezQ> Sharon: go to w3schools.
[07:50] <pete__> yo
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> !java | mukti
[07:51] <jonathon> mukti: searching synaptic I think it's gcj-jdk
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: Alt+K+PrintScreen   you can re-enable CAB in keyboard settings
[07:52] <JamezQ> Sharon: Well organized yes, exhaustive no, it is for a beginner.
[07:53] <philipballew> ActionParsnip, how would i do that from ssh
[07:53] <mukti> I found it: sun-java6-jdk
[07:53] <JamezQ> Sharon: No problem
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: you can stop then start the GDM service I guess
[07:54] <philipballew> philip@philip:~$ sudo service gdm stop
[07:54] <philipballew> stop: Unknown instance:
[07:54] <bao__> 哇，第一次来
[07:54] <philipballew> ^ ActionParsnip
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> mukti: may help too http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: which desktop do you use?
[07:54] <philipballew> an emachine
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: no, Gnome? KDE? XFCE? LXDE?
[07:55] <philipballew> ActionParsnip, the gui wont show anymore on my 10.04 install with my brand new monitor i bought yesterday
[07:55] <soreau> mukti: You must not be on natty
[07:56] <philipballew> so i wanna install the nex nvidia driver from their site but i need to stop x to do so ActionParsnip
[07:56] <delron> ActionParsnip: ahhhh was wondering what the heck happen to ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:56] <hosein_z3> X:
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> philipballew: the nvidia drivers are in the repos
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> delron: yeah it got changed for some reason, its easy to switch back
[07:57] <Sharon> Is there a way to get your host/domain private when someone runs a whois on you in irc?
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> !cloak | Sharon
[07:58] <gaelfx> Miranda is better :D
[07:58] <urlin2u> Sharon, get cloaked
[07:58] <philipballew> ActionParsnip, i install all 10.04 had to offer and none fixed the problem
[07:58] <tr43nd> 'd morning
[07:58] <Sharon> K thanks'
[07:58] <gaelfx> philipballew : do you still have the link to the NVidia download site I sent you yesterday?
[07:58] <Sharon> Call me paranoid if u want just prefer to maintain privacy lol
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> Sharon: you are paranoid
[07:59] <philipballew> gaelfx, yeah http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-280.13-driver.html
[07:59] <urlin2u> Sharon, nah many of us are cloaked
[08:00] <gaelfx> philipballew: if you check on that page, it has instructions about how to install  it, however, as I told you before, if you choose to do it that way, you will have to reinstall any time you install a kernel update
[08:00] <gaelfx> philipballew: do you know what I mean?
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> i've only got a cloak as I am a member, doesn't really bother me though
[08:00] <Gredeu> Myrtti, :)
[08:01] <Gredeu> for your sake
[08:02] <philipballew> gaelfx, yeah, I dont really want to, but no other ones seem to want to work.
[08:02] <dwm> hello!
[08:02] <gaelfx> philipballew: just to be sure, the monitor doesn't work at all without any kind of special graphics driver?
[08:03] <dwm> Can I ask a simple question of anybody?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> dwm: ask away
[08:03] <philipballew> well gaelfx it runs fine when i stick it into my desktop
[08:03] <philipballew> ^my other desktop
[08:04] <philipballew> and my laptop
[08:04] <dwm> I am somewhat new to chat. it is about ubuntu ands linux in general. Have ruined some hard disk drives and OSs since putting linux on them . Does it mess up the drives?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> dwm: can you expand on "mess up drives" please
[08:05] <gaelfx> philipballew: when you stick what into your laptop?
[08:05] <Sharon> Dunno but I just might be a klittle paranoid lol'
[08:05] <dwm> I get partition errors often. various situations, probably just changing them too much , I have partition magic , says bad driv eand partition error found etc.
[08:05] <philipballew> gaelfx, yes. i stick the monitor into my laptop and it works great
[08:06] <dwm> Sometimes lose data too.
[08:06] <Hasham> hi...at what speed i should burn an iso
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> dwm: if you plan your partitions, you will have significantly fewer issues
[08:06] <gaelfx> philipballew: oh, haha, sorry, gotcha
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> dwm: backups will prevent data loss
[08:06]  * philipballew if only gaelfx lived in san diego id buy him lunch to look at it
[08:07] <Sharon> whats the best for backups?
[08:07] <dwm> Know what you mean it has taken years of practice but I have back ups now. What about linux , does it cause errors on the disks that you know of?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> !backup | Sharon
[08:07] <dwm> Want to install as second OS to windows on laptop.
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Sharon: there is no single best app for backup
[08:08] <Tech-1> 4-16 x
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> dwm: What version of windows?
[08:08] <dwm> xp pro on the laptop and home on the desktop.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> dwm: use the liveCD to resize the NTFS and install ubuntu to the free space
[08:09] <gaelfx> philipballew: did you say that you had another monitor that worked with this computer before?
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> dwm: if you are making a dual boot, why do we care what is on a different machine?
[08:10] <philipballew> yeah. check it out. the other one was a crt and now i got this new flat screen one when i moved to sd yeatsrday and when i plug it in the screen is all blury
[08:10] <philipballew> gaelfx, ^
[08:10] <dwm> Did not understand/ Different machine?
[08:11] <dwm> Yes I want to dual boot , usually have to install after windows xp to get it to work.
[08:11] <gaelfx> philipballew: so do those two monitors use different connection methods?
[08:11] <gaelfx> philipballew: like is one VGA and the other DVI or HDMI or something like that?
[08:12] <dwm> I have a real good back up program from nero. even works on my lan to a network drive.
[08:12] <dwm> It isa linux software.
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> dwm: 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] <scarleo> Will there be better support in upcoming versions of Unity for all these apps that used to hide themselves in the panels in Gnome?
[08:12] <scarleo> It's really annoying right now when they just "disappear"
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> dwm: it's like saying "I want to dual boot my laptop. I have 3 cats and a motorbike"
[08:13] <dwm> Okay , the live cd is the way to go. I just downloaded ubuntu but I'll find the live cd and do it again.
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> dwm: be sure to MD5 test the ISO you download ;)
[08:13] <dwm> Seems orrect.
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> dwm: and burn as slowly as you can
[08:13] <dwm> I mean correct!
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> dwm: seems isn't good enough in IT
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | dwm
[08:13] <dwm> exact then.
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> dwm: there is a mechanism so you KNOW its 100%good
[08:14] <philipballew> gaelfx, no. both are from the same vga port
[08:14]  * philipballew wishes he just kept his crt
[08:14] <dwm> i can check them out. You are great , thanks so much for the info.
[08:15] <pete__> hey, I've got two ubuntu machines at home, and one is on the tv.  I'd really like to be able to share links between them - is there some kind of easy messaging platform that's always on?
[08:15] <kuru> So is there any known horribly slow performance by mtpfs or is it just me? (11.04)
[08:15] <dwm> Hey , know where I can get the "list" of irc rooms?
[08:16] <szal> !alis | dwm
[08:16] <gaelfx> philipballew: that is decidedly weird
[08:16] <dwm> Looking for it, thanks.
[08:16] <jbsoum> hey all, question
[08:17] <gaelfx> brb
[08:17] <dwm> I probably need the faq page so I do not ask dumb questions!
[08:17] <philipballew> maybe in the move the graphics card went haywire gaelfx
[08:17] <jbsoum> i set up a dual boot with xp and ubuntu 11.04, and for some reason, ive been having strange video errors
[08:18] <szal> philipballew: if you have a flat panel, it's best to connect it to the gfx card using the digital port
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> jbsoum: is Ubuntu instaled on the drive?
[08:18] <dwm> Goin to step out , just in case I get lost , see ya later. Thanks again.
[08:18] <jbsoum> yeah
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> jbsoum: ok so what happens when you boot?
[08:19] <jbsoum> it did the samr thing with the live cd, too. i didnt think anything of it. well, the boot screen doesnt show up correctly, the ubunto logo looks really discolored and pixelated
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> jbsoum: ok, do you get a login screen?
[08:19] <jbsoum> sometimes, when it boots, its fine, and other times, it looks horrible
[08:19] <philipballew> szal, yeah. my desktop doesnt have one
[08:19] <jbsoum> yeah i get a login screen
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> jbsoum: what video chip do you use/
[08:20] <jbsoum> its a dell dimension, its an ati raedon
[08:20] <szal> philipballew: must be a really old one then ;)
[08:20] <philipballew> szal, feel free to give me a new one :)
[08:21] <dwm> Can someone tell me where "alias " can be found . web page , link or other?
[08:21] <szal> philipballew: if you expect to keep using it for another while, I suggest you graze the used market for one of the newest available AGP gfx cards
[08:22] <bambanx> how can untar a file.tar its content on specific folder on ubuntu?
[08:22] <rhin0> anyone knowhow I manually mount what is in fstab
[08:22] <Sharon> use the archive manager that comes with it
[08:22] <rhin0> (NFS question)
[08:23] <philipballew> yeah szal i need to find one that fits my port. i found one, but it doesnt fit
[08:23] <shashi> where is annu
[08:23] <szal> shashi: who or what is annu?
[08:23] <annu> m here
[08:23] <szal> philipballew: what's the problem w/ the port?
[08:25] <lolek> yo

[08:25] <lolek> jak zainstalowac kadu?
[08:26] <szal> !pl | lolek

[08:26] <shashi> abe private chat anhi hai kya
[08:26] <szal> !en | shashi, annu
[08:26] <philipballew> its goin ok gaelfx just ssh'd into my desktop as its still un viewable :)
[08:27] <gaelfx> philipballew: maybe you should try remote desktop, if possible, that way you might be able to graphically set it up before you connect the new monitor?
[08:28] <philipballew> gaelfx, how would I do that?
[08:28] <ezakimak> i cannot get my server to boot w/md--it enumerates them in the wrong order, ignores raid=noautodetect, even though inside the initrd it has the correct UUIDs for each md device
[08:28] <szal> philipballew: really, does that machine not have an AGP port?
[08:29] <philipballew> szal, what does an agp port look like
[08:29] <gaelfx> philipballew: to be honest, I'm not sure how to setup Remote Desktop from SSH, but it should be possible
[08:29] <Untouchab1e> Question! Ive got the bleeding edge xorg ppa enabled, and a while back it broke support for nvidia drivers..
[08:29] <Untouchab1e> so I installed the ones from nvidia.com manually
[08:29] <Untouchab1e> now though, they break every time xorg is updated
[08:30] <Untouchab1e> so is there a proper way to remove the official nivida drivers and re-install the jockey ones? I just get various errors when I try
[08:30] <bambanx> what is wrong with this line : sudo tar zxfv project-1.4.1.tar.gz /usr/share/vim/vim73/
[08:30] <bambanx>  i am trying to extract into the folder vim73
[08:30] <szal> bambanx: why, what is?
[08:30] <philipballew> well gaelfx i know if i install the ncidia drivers manually i need to not have a gui
[08:31] <bambanx> the content of project...tar.gz i wanna extract into vim73 folder
[08:31] <bambanx> is a plugin
[08:31] <gaelfx> philipballew: yeah, that's true, but it might also have really bad settings initially that, if changed, might actually make it usable
[08:32] <szal> Untouchab1e: 'sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall' should remove the official driver..  and if the Xorg-edgers PPA doesn't have nVidia drivers of its own, I wouldn't know whether other nVidia drivers packaged for *buntu will work
[08:32] <philipballew> gaelfx, im still running 10.04. what if i upgrade to 11.04
[08:33] <szal> philipballew: see e.g. here -> http://lehre.hki.uni-koeln.de/seminare/sites/default/files/userfiles/1/Mainboard_agp.jpg
[08:33] <philipballew> or a nvidia drivers ppa gaelfx
[08:33] <gaelfx> philipballew: I'm not sure that upgrading would do you much good, but the PPA is certainly one idea that could work
[08:34] <philipballew> `whats your suggestion gaelfx
[08:34] <bambanx> szal read me pls
[08:34] <gaelfx> philipballew: well, the ppa seems like your best option at this point
[08:34] <szal> philipballew: 'lspci | grep -i vga' please
[08:35] <szal> bambanx: you haven't produced an error msg as of yet
[08:35] <ezakimak> where do i edit kernel parameters?
[08:35] <ezakimak> besides hacking grub.cfg?
[08:35] <szal> ezakimak: /etc/default/grub
[08:35] <bambanx> yeah say me the file dont exist

[08:36] <philipballew> gaelfx, yeah, ill look to see if i can find a ppa
[08:36] <szal> philipballew: I'd be surprised if that wasn't already an AGP card
[08:36] <ezakimak> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX?
[08:36] <gaelfx> philipballew: I'm sure there is one, just can't remember who maintains it
[08:37] <szal> philipballew: a quick Google search seems to suggest that that model was available as PCI Express already
[08:37] <K350> mp3blaster requires /dev/dsp witch I don't have in kubuntu 11.04 so how do I know what deice to use?
[08:38] <ezakimak> how do I force grub to use a different device for it's  root than what it detects?
[08:38] <szal> philipballew: is that by chance a blue-coloured slot the gfx card is in?
[08:38] <philipballew> szal, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gateway-eMachines-T6216-T6420-T6426-MS7207-Motherboard-/150595280204?pt=Motherboards

[08:44] <JamezQ> ezakimak: Sorry, what I know about configuring grub is from my arch and gentoo use, both of choose not to use grub two.
[08:44] <szal> philipballew: the 6100 seems to be a rare bird..  but just about any current gfx card will do if you're looking for a replacement, you should be able to get one for under €30 (~$40) new
[08:44] <JamezQ> ezakimak: you can try here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275, skip down to the relevant parts. Sorry, that's all I can give
[08:45] <ezakimak> yes, i prefer gentoo and grub1. this grub2 is a mess
[08:45] <JamezQ> agreed.

[08:50] <antipeacemaker> well its more of waiting :o and alot off stress :P
[08:50] <Fudge> guess its not practical to turn it upside down
[08:50] <Untouchab1e> szal: sorry for the late reply.. the issue isnt removing the nvidia drivers, its installing the jockey ones afterwards
[08:51] <ezakimak> how can i disable using the initrd for boot?
[08:51] <Untouchab1e> I get some kind of weird error message when I try to install it and it just remains disabled
[08:51] <szal> Untouchab1e: and the error msg is?
[08:51] <Untouchab1e> Hold on, I will dig it up.. I googled the hell out of it with no luck..
[08:52] <antipeacemaker> somebody know where to find the running script of skype

[08:52] <Untouchab1e> Shogoot: sure.. virtually
[08:52] <bullgard6> What DEB program package provides the "English - German Dictionary 1.5 [english-german]"?

[09:13] <banyo> graphic card updated?
[09:13] <LuckyStar> no, i just update the system

[09:14] <banyo> Im not an expert, i came to ask for help too, try watching on youtube :)
[09:14] <banyo> I need someone experienced on this ppl

[09:15] <banyo> i was trying to remove unity but i deleted everything
[09:15] <craz> okay so im connected to my windows pc through SSH - how do i do anything? lol its \C:\Users\PC\Desktop>
[09:16] <ezakimak> craz, install cygwin then use bash
[09:16] <glebihan> banyo, what do you mean by task pane ?
[09:17] <karthick87> How to add ubuntu to a windows domain?
[09:17] <banyo> you know
[09:17] <split-mobile> You don't need remove unity.  Just select ubuntu classic at the logon screen.
[09:18] <glebihan> banyo, if I asked it's probably, no, I don't know
[09:18] <banyo> well i didnt know that
[09:18] <banyo> now i Do after watching a video
[09:18] <banyo> i saw classic ubuntu
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> banyo: unity2D will replace Classic in Oneiric
[09:19] <banyo> the problem is guys that i have removed this, how do you call it, taskbar
[09:19] <banyo> uninstalled
[09:19] <banyo> there is nothing on desktop except icons
[09:19] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: but you can still use Gnome 3 session instead of Unity in Oneiric, right?
[09:19] <glebihan> banyo, you mean gnome-panel ?
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> !panels | banyo
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: that doesn't make sense
[09:20] <josemota> hey guys, I tried to install Kubuntu via Wubi. Something went wrong, I had to uninstall it, but I can't recover back the 20GB I told it to use. what can I do in a situation like this?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: unity runs in gnome
[09:20] <JamezQ> It makes fine sense,
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> josemota: use the add / remove programs to uninstall it
[09:20] <banyo> i cannot acces the terminal
[09:20] <JamezQ> no word on if that is going to be an option
[09:20] <banyo> cause of these problems
[09:20] <banyo> i try alt f2
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: unity isn't a DE
[09:20] <banyo> nothing happens
[09:20] <banyo> is there a shortcut
[09:21] <banyo> for
[09:21] <josemota> ActionParsnip: I did. Still can't recover the disk space...
[09:21] <JamezQ> ActionParsnip: I know what it is
[09:21] <banyo> keyboard shortuc, for synaptic
[09:21] <banyo> hell
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: so using gnome3 inistead of Unity makes no sense, using kde instead of gnome3 makes sense
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> banyo: use ALT+CTRL+T
[09:21] <JamezQ> ActionParsnip: I am almost certain he means "gnome-3" default non-shell desktop
[09:21] <JamezQ> it seemed obvious to me
[09:21] <banyo> thanks
[09:21] <banyo> action
[09:22] <banyo> im in
[09:22] <banyo> terminal
[09:22] <FloodBot1> banyo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> banyo: quit with the enter so much dude
[09:22] <banyo> ok ok
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> banyo: you dont have to hammer enter after every 3rd word
[09:22] <JamezQ> gnome-fallback , there ya go. He is asking if that is an option.
[09:22] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: what I had meant is that you can still start a session without unity, right?
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> josemota: if all is good then check if you have c:\wubi
[09:23] <glebihan> gaelfx, no
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: not sure dude
[09:23] <banyo> hell to much people talking ill figure it out somehow
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: i use LXDE these days :)
[09:23] <glebihan> gaelfx, unless you install gnome-shell but not sure it'll be available on oneiric
[09:23] <josemota> ActionParsnip: I tried to check for C:/ubuntu, no luck. Same for C:/wubi
[09:23] <split-mobile> Bayno np hold ctrl + alt + f1 to log in. Type in sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop
[09:23] <JamezQ> gaelfx: I don't see why you can't use gnome 3 without unity no. but it may not be in default options.
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> josemota: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_manually_uninstall_Wubi.3F
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: there is a fork to keep gnome as itusedto be, reported on by omgubuntu
[09:25] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: now THAT'S good news
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=19106

[09:37] <devish> hi
[09:37] <devish> i was planning to make one of my 30 gb ntf partion to exxt4?how can i do it?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: check your FSB setting in BIOS
[09:37] <betanick> also "Waiting for br0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 32 seconds)." used to take a bit of time but now it doesn't is that normal?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> devish: use liveCD
[09:38] <devish> it will more or less will act like a extended one i suppose
[09:39] <devish> ActionParsnip: i don't have that;
[09:39] <betanick> i used to get "Waiting for br0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 32 seconds)." followed by "???" but now i get "stop: Unknown instance:"
[09:39] <devish> ActionParsnip: is there some default partioner?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> devish: then download one
[09:39] <split-mobile> You can install startup manager  in the software center. Then find it installed in the administration  window.  You can then select default boot image
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> devish: there is gparted on the Ubuntu livecD
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> devish: or LiveUSB, same difference
[09:40] <betanick> ??? = i think ??? had to do with dhcp but i'm not 100%
[09:40] <devish> ActionParsnip: when i am already running a system that whats the use of downloading other one
[09:41] <dttys> hi
 RobinJ: check your FSB setting in BIOS << nothing like that in the bios :p it's  some crappy hp setup utility. all i can change is the boot order
[09:41] <dttys> anyone knows where i can find a RSA private key stored in my ubuntu?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> devish: are you running ubuntu now?
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: nice :(
[09:42] <split-mobile> !rsa
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: well 156 x 2 = 333Mhz

[09:44] <devish> ActionParsnip: yes buddy with dual boot so one of my 30 gb partition is ntfs and i want to convert it to ext4
[09:44] <DaZ> i don't really think you can :f
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> devish: then make sure the partition is unmountd and fire up gparted, you can format it there
[09:45] <DaZ> oh, you mean convert it like this :x
[09:46] <bahamas> hello. how can i debug some issues with my wireless? sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (meaning it doesn't display any access points, and i can't connect to saved connections). i'm using 64-bit ubuntu 11.04 and the card is manufactured by broadcom
[09:47] <M1_> bahamas: are you sure it's not a hardware problem? does it work on other operating systems?
[09:48] <craz> okay so im SSH'D in my Win7 using Ubuntu, is there a way i can use my Linux commands rather than this Windows Command prompt?
[09:49] <JamezQ> craz: options, cgywin, eshell, much more.
[09:50] <droid> King tut exhibit up auctions by installing the startup manager the fun that's all for in the ubuntu software center what is installed the fun tonight and a ministration tub it from there you're gonna go ahead and select the park if you want to boot up so if you want to go to panda windows 7 or windows xp first it's like a from the start of manager and then you're set and ready to go
[09:50] <craz> JamezQ: which would you recommend
[09:50] <bahamas> M1_: i'm sure because it works on this OS as well, from time to time
[09:50] <bahamas> M1_: and before switching to the 64-bit version it always worked
[09:51] <JamezQ> craz: I would recommend eshell, but that's only because I'm a psyco emacs user. Cgywin is the more popular solution
[09:52] <craz> Get that Linux feeling - on Windows!?
[09:52] <craz> Cygwin
[09:53] <bahamas> M1_: i'm not afraid of using gdb if i have to. i just need to know where to start
[09:54] <Guest92533> hi
[09:54] <Guest92533> anyone online
[09:54] <JamezQ> Guest92533: nope.
[09:55] <Guest92533> how to use(install) .obj file ?
[09:55] <fasp> How can I enable the Universe repository in a Lucid LiveCD to install startupmanager?
[09:55] <JamezQ> Guest92533: An .obj file is a java object in binary form, it is generally not used to install.
[09:56] <JamezQ> Guest92533: What are you trying to install with the .obj?
[09:56] <Guest92533> video card draver
[09:57] <Guest92533> driver
[09:58] <JamezQ> Guest92533: For what??? You most likely just put it in a folder to "install" it
[10:00] <Guest92533> which folder should i put it in ? It's in the download folder.
[10:00] <Nicolus> _nick
[10:01] <JamezQ> Guest92533: I don't have enough information boss. I don't know where you got it from ect
[10:01] <JamezQ> Guest92533: can I see your download link
[10:02] <dttys> about that private key: on windows u go to mmc, u export the certificate selecting to include the private key, then use openssl to strip the private key from the .PFX file
[10:03] <Guest92533> http://w3.sis.com/download/agreement.php?url=/download/
[10:03] <dttys> [12:39] <dttys> anyone knows where i can find a RSA private key stored in my ubuntu?
[10:04] <JamezQ> Guest92533: So did you get a tar.gz or just a .obj
[10:04] <Guest92533> .obj
[10:06] <JamezQ> Guest92533: The SiS650 Graphic Driver?
[10:06] <Guest92533> yes how do you known?
[10:07] <JamezQ> Guest92533: I don't I am trying to figure it out
[10:08] <droid> Dttys, rsa keys in a hiden folder called:  .ssh  . You can find it in your home folder and hitting ctrl alt h to display  your home hidden folders
[10:08] <dttys> thanks!
[10:08] <droid> Ctrl h
[10:08] <dttys> will try
[10:08] <dttys> but why ssh?
[10:08] <dttys> it's ssl encryption
[10:09] <droid> Did you generate the Ssh key yourself?
[10:12] <dttys> sry droid
[10:13] <dttys> no, i got it from the webserver
[10:13] <niklaswe> how can i get so I see Free Mem,cpu and stuff like that when i login ?
[10:13] <hagus> How do I get ssh to listen on port 7822 rather than on 22?
[10:14] <niklaswe> hagus: change in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[10:14] <niklaswe> and then restart sshd
[10:14] <niklaswe>  /etc/init.d/sshd restart
[10:15] <droid> Dttys so its a web certificate you imported that you want to look a
[10:15] <dttys> xactly :)
[10:15] <hagus> niklaswe, I get this when I do that: calum@ubuntu:/$ /etc/init.d/sshd restart ... bash: /etc/init.d/sshd: No such file or directory
[10:16] <folivora> hagus: have you installed ssh-server ?

[10:17] <javier__> hi. I have problems with my wireless connection in ubuntu 11.04. I was using network manager but connexion was stopping from time to time. Afterwards, I moved to wicd, but the problem persist. For example, when streaming an online video or football match, is not stable. If I change to windows, internet connection is normal and I can run the same kind of videos without problems. Some knows what may be happening?
[10:17] <droid> If your using firefox. Look under preferences under security then certificates
[10:17] <ruben> hello
[10:17] <ruben> can some1 help me out
[10:17] <ruben> I managed to remove myself from the admin group
[10:17] <ruben> and now I can't sudo to put myself in it again
[10:17] <ruben> and I never bothered changing the root passwd to something other hten then default from the install
[10:19] <dttys> @ droid: i already did
[10:19] <dttys> i managed to xtract the certificate, but i think the private key was not included
[10:20] <geirha> ruben: Boot into recovery mode and run   adduser yourusername admin
[10:20] <ruben> when I boot into recovery mode
[10:20] <ruben> it still wants the root passwd
[10:21] <geirha> ruben: Really? That's weird.
[10:21] <droid> Dttys then you have regenerate the rsa key and create a new private key
[10:21] <ubuntu_> ruben, what happens when you fill nothing in?
[10:22] <ubuntu_> just press enter when it asks root passwd
[10:22] <ruben> hmm
[10:22] <ruben> it keeps prompting
[10:22] <ruben> sec
[10:22] <ruben> I reboot and try again
[10:22] <FloodBot1> ruben: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:22] <ubuntu_> hoi dolfje
[10:22] <dttys> why? this one is still working, i just havent figured out how to access it
[10:23] <ruben> "Give root password for maintenance or type Control-D to continue:
[10:23] <ruben> Login Incorrect.
[10:23] <dttys> just a sec
[10:24] <Koterpillar> Firefox, Thunderbird, Chromium and Epiphany all started crashing on me. Is this a known problem or I'm on my own?
[10:24] <FloodBot1> BlueWolf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:24] <droid> If you generated the key it should of prompted  you a private key pw
[10:24] <geirha> ruben: What happens if you continue?
[10:25] <RobinJ> can someone help me cponnect to a wireless network from the command line? JamezQ told me how to do it but it ain't working (and he's offline now)
[10:26] <RobinJ> ifconfig wlan0 up, iwlist wlan0 scan, iwconfig wlan0 essid "network name", dhclient wlan0
[10:26] <RobinJ> thats what i did.. without succes
[10:26] <dttys> @droid: k gonna search how to do it, n if it's worth the try
[10:26] <RobinJ> maybe because its got a WPA key?
[10:28] <niklaswe> RobinJ: use wpa_supplicant
[10:29] <RobinJ> .... how?
[10:29] <hagus> niklaswe: I now get:  could not load (it lists) various keys
[10:29] <niklaswe> RobinJ: first wpa_passhase  "create configfile"
[10:30] <niklaswe> RobinJ: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwirelessinterface -c /path/to/your/config/file&
[10:30] <niklaswe> dhclient wirelessInterface
 RobinJ: first wpa_passhase  "create configfile" << exactly like that? or should i replace something?
[10:31] <repozitor> how to register on IRC?
[10:31] <FloodBot1> BlueWolf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:31] <repozitor> is this right?
[10:31] <niklaswe> RobinJ: try run wpa_passhase
[10:31] <niklaswe> it will say how you will use it
[10:31] <repozitor> "/msg nickserv register password mail"
[10:32] <prem> how to copy  a file along with its bookmarks created using gedit?
[10:32] <niklaswe> RobinJ: I just give you hints
[10:32] <prem> when i copy the file from one machine to other .,i lost all my bookmarks
[10:32] <RobinJ> aha when i do wpa_passphrase <essid> <wpakey> it gives me some kind of config file :D
[10:33] <niklaswe> RobinJ: yeah
[10:33] <niklaswe> but it to configfile
[10:34] <RobinJ> niklas: /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf?
[10:34] <niklaswe> RobinJ: so.. use wpa_passphrase essid yourKey > myconfig
[10:34] <RobinJ> i did :p
[10:35] <RobinJ> and now? dhclient wlan0?
[10:35] <niklaswe> noe
[10:35] <RobinJ> doh :p
[10:35] <niklaswe> RobinJ: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iWireLessInterface -c /path/to/myconfig
[10:35] <RobinJ> iWirelessInterface?
[10:36] <RobinJ> lol
[10:36] <niklaswe> yeah
[10:36] <RobinJ> do i have to do this every time i boot up? or only once? xD
[10:36] <niklaswe> then you will see if you will get connected.. and if ctrl-D
[10:37] <niklaswe> and run wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iWireLessInterface -c /path/to/myconfig&
[10:37] <niklaswe> and dhclient WireLessInterface
[10:37] <RobinJ> what is ctrl+d?
[10:37] <niklaswe> RobinJ: I mean ctrl+c =)
[10:37] <RobinJ> xD
[10:37] <RobinJ> CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to blablabla completed (aith) [id=blablabla...
[10:38] <RobinJ> is that good? =)
[10:38] <niklaswe> yupp
[10:38] <niklaswe> kill it ctrl+c
[10:38] <RobinJ> so now... ctrl+c and dhclient wlan0?
[10:38] <niklaswe> run it again like this..
[10:38] <niklaswe> and run wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iWireLessInterface -c /path/to/myconfig&
[10:38] <RobinJ> .... ?
[10:39] <niklaswe> & =  put it in background
[10:39] <RobinJ> wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf&
[10:39] <niklaswe> yeah
[10:39] <RobinJ> ah thats hwat the & is for :D
[10:39] <niklaswe> yeah
[10:39] <RobinJ> but do i have to  do this every time? :p
[10:39] <niklaswe> when you get connected  run dhclient wlan0
[10:39] <RobinJ> or will it happen automatically when i login/boot?
[10:40] <niklaswe> RobinJ: yeah if you dont but it in /etc/rc.local
[10:40] <RobinJ> ..k :p how do i put it in that file?
[10:40] <niklaswe> or making a script for it.
[10:40] <RobinJ> gues sill just make a script :p
[10:41] <bahamas> niklaswe: i wonder if the instructions that you gave to RobinJ apply to me. i have issues with the wireless in that sometimes it works and access points appear you when i boot up and other times don't
[10:41] <RobinJ> xd
[10:42] <droid> Niklaswe add it in by typing sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
[10:42] <Kingsy> ok guys, what vncserver do I need to install if I want it running on the gnome login screen AND inside gnome after login?
[10:42] <RobinJ> thanks niklaswe :p but gotta go now
[10:42] <Kingsy> see the idea is to be able to turn my pc on with a WOL packet (which I have already done) and use vnc to login and control the pc..
[10:42] <niklaswe> RobinJ: np
[10:44] <lokodomain> where can i get help with apache2 server configuration?  thanks in advance
[10:44] <glebihan> lokodomain, #httpd
[10:44] <gaelfx> Kingsy: can you get one that actuallly runs at the login screen?
[10:44] <lokodomain> glebihan , they dont let me speak
[10:45] <lokodomain> I 'm not sure why?
[10:45] <Kingsy> gaelfx: ummm I hope so.. remote desktop does it for windows.. I would assume there would be a way in linux
[10:45] <Morgz> lokodomain - you prob need to register your nick
[10:45] <Kingsy> I suppose I could just remove the username and password and have it log in automatically.. but surely there is a way
[10:46] <ahhughez> how can I tell if 'make install' ran successfully?
[10:46] <lokodomain> Morgz, yeah your right just noticed that.. ANy idea how..?
[10:47] <droid> Test
[10:47] <gaelfx> Kingsy: well, whatever it is, you would have to have it start up before gdm
[10:47] <Kingsy> gaelfx: could you log into the machine via ssh and start the vnc server that way ?
[10:47] <gaelfx> Kingsy: which sounds like you would have to edit initd or whatever
[10:48] <gaelfx> Kingsy: worth a shot, but do you want to have to do that everytime?
[10:48] <ahhughez> I ran make install, and it just spat out... 'dvb-usb-it9135.ko \n af35irtbl.bin'... what am I supposed to do with these files? (these are supposed to be my usb tv tuner drivers)
[10:49] <gaelfx> Kingsy: I think you just have to make a script and place it in /etc/init.d but I might be wrong about that
[10:49] <gaelfx> Kingsy: maybe this helps? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=711067
[10:49] <Kingsy> gaelfx: hmm just found a little tutor that might work ..
[10:50] <Kingsy> just gonna try it
[10:51] <Kingsy> gaelfx: here is a question .. how come in my login screen settings there is nok option to enable XDMCP ?
[10:51] <gaelfx> Kingsy: I don't know what that is, so I really couldn't say
[10:52] <capcook> hello
[10:53] <Kingsy> does anyone know?
[10:53] <abstrakt> what's the official email full name syntax/format, and or what's the RFC to look up?
[10:54] <abstrakt> like foobar@foo.com <Foo Bar>
[10:54] <jrib> not ubuntu :/
[10:54] <abstrakt> or however it appears, sometimes, i can't quite remember
[10:56] <Kingsy> does anyone know what XDMCP is ?
[10:58] <ezakimak> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xdmcp
[10:59] <IdleOne> !lmgtfy | ezakimak
[10:59] <Kingsy> ezakimak: its not that, I want to know how to enable XDMCP on the login screen.. all of the tutors I have read says go into System->admin->login screen settings
[11:00] <Kingsy> ezakimak: in 11.04 login settings doesnt even have a security tab and doesnt mention XDMCP anywhere
[11:01] <ezakimak> dunno about that
[11:01] <Kingsy> :S
[11:01] <Kingsy> anyone know? :) its annoying as hell
[11:15] <gaelfx> I don't think I've ever seen it so quiet here before
[11:20] <Kingsy> gaelfx: hmm I don't think I am going to get this working, is it not possible to launch the vnc server through ssh once your logged in?
[11:20] <devral> can i restore /etc/ while the system is booted or do i need to do that from a livecd?
[11:21] <gaelfx> Kingsy: yeah, you should be able to. I believe it's called vino-server or something like that
[11:21] <gaelfx> Kingsyprobably needs a sudo though, and I'm not sure if you need to pass it any options
[11:22] <Kingsy> hmmm ok i will try it
[11:26] <alcy> http://pastebin.com/h4nT4Lav
[11:26] <alcy> temp issue with the mirrors ? or something else needs to be done ?
[11:27] <egoproctor> can anyone tell me if ubuntu includes the synaptic sgs-l touchpad suite in the download or just in OEM machines that ship with linux
[11:27] <devral> can i restore /etc/ while the system is booted or do i need to do that from a livecd?
[11:28] <the_intel> I just installed ircu with apt-get command
[11:30] <the_intel> It is up on localhost without any problem
[11:30] <the_intel> but I don't know where the configuration file is
[11:30] <the_intel> How to find it?
[11:31] <Kingsy> gaelfx: hmm doesnt seem to work, I opened ssh with -X ran vino-server and it seems to load to a point but then just stops on    Advertising Security Type: "No Authentication"
[11:33] <Aquix> Can you ingnore bot announcements in xchat?
[11:34] <gaelfx> Kingsy: try to man vino-server and see if there are any parameters that might be useful for you
[11:38] <Kingsy> brb
[11:39] <devral> can i restore /etc/ while the system is booted or do i need to do that from a livecd?
[11:39] <arussel> is there a way to encrypt a DVD in such a way that it is viewable from an Upnp server with an Archos 101 and an IPad ?
[11:40] <jrib> devral: restore in what way?
[11:41] <Flower> Hi all!!!
[11:41] <wers> for some reason, the recommended NVIDIA driver on "Additional Drivers" is activted but not currently in use. how do I switch to it?
[11:41] <Flower> Hi schoolers!
[11:42] <wers> it must be because I choose to install 3rd party software upon installation? I'm on a  fresh Natty, btw
[11:42] <photon> hi. I noticed that a recent version of mkfs.ext4 is MUCH faster than previous versions. 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! The extra space needed for the formatting also shrunk a lot (130 GB to 200 MB). How come? Is my mkfs.ext4 broken or is this by design?
[11:43] <gaelfx> wers: did you restart after activating the driver?
[11:43] <kkkkkk> guys i tried to active uinput with sudo modprobe uinput but it doesn't appear with lsmod.. why?
[11:43] <wers> gaelfx I didn't activate it. it was activated on my fresh install
[11:43] <wers> gaelfx, the only available action is "Remove"
[11:44] <Flower> write on russian please :)
[11:44] <gaelfx> wers: well, that's rather strange because it isn't supposed to be enabled by default. Can you access the NVidia settings application in System->Administration?
[11:45] <gaelfx> d'oh, natty, I should pay more attention to those things
[11:45] <wers> gaelfx, I can
[11:45] <sipior> photon: regarding the extra disk space, i imagine the change is in the fraction of reserved blocks, not formatting. a five percent reservation was the historical default.
[11:45] <gaelfx> wers: try saving the x.org conf file or whatever it is in there and then restart?
[11:45] <wers> gaelfx, at first, I was thinking this is running nouveau, but NVIDIA X Server Settings do work
[11:45] <photon> sipior: yes, you are right, just figured that out myself. my bad. but the change in speed is still astonishing.
[11:46] <wers> gaelfx, I don't understand.. what do you mean?
[11:46] <Flower> Who can tell a good mini-distro?
[11:46] <Flower> Who can tell a good mini-distro?
[11:46] <Flower> Who can tell a good mini-distro?
[11:46] <photon> Flower: please stop spamming.
[11:46] <Flower> ok
[11:46] <gaelfx> wers: don't worry about it, try opening a terminal and typing 'jockey-text -l' and see what that gives you
[11:47] <jussi> Flower: you are likely to get a better answer to that question in ##linux
[11:47] <wers> gaelfx, check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/677156/
[11:48] <devral> is it possible to extract a tarball backup of etc from within the system? or must i be in a livecd environment?
[11:48] <Flower> jussi, what sorry?
[11:48] <lokodomain> hey does anybody know how to view hidden files using the ls command....?
[11:48] <auronandace> lokodomain: ls -a
[11:48] <prem> lokodomain, ls -la
[11:48] <devral> lokodomain: ls -a
[11:48] <lokodomain> thanks gys
[11:48] <Flower> ls -Fail
[11:49] <jussi> Flower: you asked about amini distro, this is Ubuntu support, you probably are better off asking in ##linux :)
[11:49] <Flower> ls -Fail
[11:49] <wers> ok. this tells my my nvidia driver is enabled, but not in use; but doesn't tell what's in use
[11:49] <zurgutt> I have installed 11.4 setup with Nvidia 8600M and dual screen with separate X servers, problem is external screen does not have window manager  ie window borders are missing.  I am somewhat experienced in linux but have no idea where to look to debug this, ideas?
[11:49] <wers> gaelfx, whatever this nvidia driver is, it's not what I need. the default ubuntu wallpaper doesn't show correctly
[11:49] <Flower> oh ##linux is a channel?
[11:50] <jussi> Flower: correct :)
[11:50] <gaelfx> wers: well, if it isn't using NVidia, it's probably using nouveau
[11:50] <jussi> Flower: type: /join ##linux
[11:51] <Flower> jussi< thanks!
[11:51] <wers> there can't be multiple nvidia drivers in one system, yes? gaelfx, any idea how I can switch?
[11:51] <Flower> ^_^
[11:52] <wers> gaelfx, perhaps, I can open the NVIDIA settings window, because the driver is installed, but making changes here won't work
[11:52] <gaelfx> wers: you can't be using two different drivers for one device at the same time, correct, but it's not using NVidia, is it?
[11:52] <wers> gaelfx, not using nvidia, but it's active
[11:53] <Flower> bb all ^_^
[11:53] <wers> gaelfx, I meant, can multiple nvidia propreitary drivers be installed and active?
[11:53] <gaelfx> wers: Nvidia settings is just a GUI for editing conf files, it doesn't actually indicate anything other than the NVidia driver is available
[11:53] <gaelfx> wers: no, I don't think you can have more than one proprietary driver for NVidia going at once, and according to Jockey, you don't
[11:53] <gaelfx> wers: what card are you trying to use?
[11:55] <wers> gaelfx, I'm with NVIDIA 320M. This is a MacBook Air late 2010
[11:55] <fmauro> gaelfx: doesn't Xorg load drivers per device?
[11:57] <wers> any idea how I can ditch nouveau (or whatever) to use the preferred NVIDIA driver?
[11:58] <gaelfx> wers: well, this might not sound very fun, but you could try removing it and then reinstalling it
[11:58] <wers> gaelfx, removing what?
[11:59] <gaelfx> wers: the nvidia driver in question
[11:59] <fmauro> wers, you don't have to remove it , just blacklist it
[11:59] <gaelfx> wers: or just try disabling it and then re-enabling it
[11:59] <wers> fmauro, how?
[11:59] <wers> gaelfx, will do
[12:00] <fmauro> wers: are you trying to switch to vesa or just the propietary nvidia one?
[12:00] <gaelfx> wers: if you do jockey-text --help, it will tell you what options you have when using it
[12:01] <gaelfx> fmauro: he's trying to get his system to actually use the NVidia driver, right now it's enabled but not in use
[12:01] <wers> fmauro, I'm on a fresh install. I want to switch from whatever's active to the preferred NVIDIA driver
[12:01] <fmauro> wers: so , fresh install means nouveau
[12:01] <wers> fmauro, Natty could've activated nouveau by default
[12:02] <splitpaw-mobile> Goto restricted drivers  that's it
[12:02] <splitpaw-mobile> Find that under administration
[12:02] <wers> fmauro, perhaps. I want to switch to the nvidia one
[12:03] <fmauro> wers: then either restriced drivers or just apt-get it with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[12:03] <gaelfx> wers: 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=1684988
[12:03] <fmauro> wers: this will ALSO blacklist nouveau
[12:04] <wers> fmauro, restricted drivers ("Additional Drivers" dialog) has nvidia enabled, but not in use. see http://paste.ubuntu.com/677156/
[12:04] <splitpaw-mobile> There is no need to blackest the driver! Just use the restricted driver
[12:04] <fmauro> wers: I assume you have rebooted?
[12:05] <glebihan> wers, the "not in use" mention is a bug in jockey
[12:05] <wers> fmauro, nope. surprisingly, natty activated it by default. this is the first ever boot of this fresh install
[12:05] <wers> fmauro, i checked the install codecs check box, though. could mean something
[12:05] <wers> glebihan, you mean, it doesn't show proper status?
[12:05] <glebihan> wers, yep
[12:06] <glebihan> wers, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/771788
[12:06] <wers> glebihan, I'm confident that this isn't the nvidia driver. wallpaper doesn't show properly. used to work on my Maverick
[12:06] <wers> also, I don't have an NVIDIA section in my xorg.conf
[12:07] <glebihan> wers, well I haven't followed your issue from the beginning, was just mentioning it
[12:07] <fmauro> wers: Xorg no longer relies on a xorg.conf file
[12:07] <glebihan> wers, that doesn't mean anything either, xorg.conf is not even needed anymore
[12:07] <wers> all I got in my xorg.conf is "	Identifier	"Default Device"
[12:07] <fmauro> wers: why don't you post the output of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep drivers
[12:08] <wers> fmauro, glebihan odd. MB Air installation instructions have xorg.conf stuff for backlight https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir3-2/Narwhal
[12:08] <josemota> hey guys, i had a bad install of ubuntu using wubi. I lost the 20GB of space I told it to use. is there any way to recover them?
[12:08] <jwalker> I am getting the error "You have not chosen to trust "etoken" , the issuer of the servers security certificate (SSL error 61).  Can anyone help me out...
[12:09] <wers> fmauro, http://paste.ubuntu.com/677166/
[12:09] <glebihan> wers, to be exact worg.conf is not required, but if you create one it is used
[12:09] <glebihan> *xorg.conf*
[12:09] <fmauro> wers: isn't there a package in apt that takes care of this via the proc fs. I'll take a look
[12:09] <arvinder> ok
[12:10] <fmauro> wers: make a backup of your xorg.conf and remove it (or just rename it) and try a reboot. just to get a regular Xorg loading procedure
[12:10] <gaelfx> is there a way to find out the most commonly used terms in this IRC? I'm wondering how NVidia compares to other issues
[12:10] <splitpaw-mobile> Jwalker should be in add/remove applications
[12:10] <Tixos> hi guys, i am about to wipe my PC and install ubuntu on an encrypted drive
[12:11] <Tixos> my question is is there any need to 00 the drive, before encrypting it ?
[12:11] <daavis> i got Samsung YP-K3 which mounted automatically. I can see folders and files in it, but problem with copying. I can copy files into it and see them on folders while plugged to my laptop. But files actually aren't on  player. When I unplug player and watch for copied files i see none of them
[12:11] <wers> fmauro, ok rebooting
[12:12] <gaelfx> Tixos: I'm not saying for sure, but I can't imagine that zeroing it will have any effect on encryption
[12:13] <gaelfx> Tixos: that being said, it shouldn't take too long to zero it, so why not? :P
[12:13] <Tixos> yes it will
[12:13] <Tixos> around 6-7hours
[12:14] <gaelfx> Tixos: what size of hard drive is this?
[12:14] <Tixos> i am saying, that encrypting will write random data to all areas of the drive
[12:14] <Tixos> so is there any need to 00 first of all? to remove any sensitve data there may be
[12:14] <Tixos> 500GB
[12:14] <gaelfx> Tixos: and what are you using to zero it?
[12:14] <wers> fmauro, back. what do I do next?
[12:14] <Tixos> usually active kill disk
[12:14] <fmauro> wers:  the package I was talking about is: pommed   for adjusting backlight / hotkeys and such
[12:14] <Tixos> a windows product, i tried shred but it was stupidly slow
[12:15] <fmauro> wers: is the output of the cat /var/..andsoson still the same?
[12:15] <wers> fmauro, the same
[12:16] <wers> fmauro, still http://paste.ubuntu.com/677166/
[12:16] <fmauro> wers: Is it okay if I pm you, this may take some further steps
[12:17] <gaelfx> Tixos: why not just use Knoppix or GParted or something like that?

[12:29] <MrCollins> im trying to follow the directions on getdeb.net.....
[12:29] <gaelfx> MrCollins: I believe add-apt-repository is how it works, but I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to add
[12:29] <MrCollins> im at this link http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/11.04#how_to_install
[12:29] <xangua> MrCollins: or simply install the getdeb package
[12:30] <MrCollins> following the directions on number 2
[12:30] <MrCollins> oh... is that sudo apt-get install getdeb?
[12:30] <xangua> step 1 is enought
[12:30] <xangua> MrCollins: no, clic on it, download it and install it

[12:37] <oooaaaooo> hi guys, i have a general question about a certain package called laptop-mode-tools; it is said to enable a longer power down of harddisks which is apparently better for  energy consumption; is this package something of a derelict in that the functionality is supported with 11.04?
[12:40] <oooaaaooo> anybody have any experience with the laptop-mode-tools package?
[12:42] <lynx_> I'm having SERIOUS problems about shit
[12:42] <lynx_> I mean SEVERE kernel proble
[12:42] <lynx_> I mean SEVERE kernel problems
[12:42] <bazhang> lynx_, no cursing, stop repeating
[12:43] <sipior> lynx_: best if you get right to the symptoms.
[12:43] <lynx_> k, anyway... I'm having severe kernel problems that say things like nosephamore or EIP or EAX and it says "This is not a software problem!"  Go to this URL to see a sample: http://pastebin.com/EtXy02th
[12:44] <angelete2> hi
[12:44] <angelete2> how do i set up automatic security updates?
[12:44] <angelete2> i haven't done it during setup
[12:44] <sipior> lynx_: when did the problem start, and is the machine unstable?
[12:44] <lynx_>  What's a good way to break into a server nowadays
[12:44] <lynx_> sipier: It started about two months ago
[12:45] <lynx_> My computer's processor kept overheating, but I found it was the fan's problem, then I fixed it by putting a new CPU fan on
[12:45] <sipior> lynx_: does the machine stay up?
[12:45] <xangua> angelete2: software centre-edit-sources-updates
[12:46] <lynx_> I also reduced the clock rate to solve the problem... then after fixing everything, the computer would start to lock up for no reason at all
[12:46] <sipior> lynx_: have you checked the motherboard for physical damage?
[12:46] <lynx_> Every time I turn it off for extended periods of time, and try to turn it on again, I have to keep switching it on and off becaus eit keeps giving me those EP type errors I pasted
[12:46] <lynx_> http://pastebin.com/EtXy02th
[12:46] <lynx_> Yes, I have
[12:46] <lynx_> Everything appears fine... however
[12:46] <patrik_> Hi, ive got a problem - im going to start a gnome/openbox session when i login it just goes to a black screen then returns to the normal login screen, how to fix it?
[12:46] <devral> is there a command i can use to lock my CLI terminal without having to log out?
[12:46] <sipior> lynx_: other operating systems don't exhibit the problem?
[12:47] <lynx_> I have a problem where I can't even get my ethernet working... it works on my laptops but not this desktop
[12:47] <lynx_> Windows has a problem where networking doesn't work at all, however it doesn't instantly crash like that
[12:48] <lynx_> But the kernel specifically gives a message sayin g "FATAL: This is not a software problem!" after showing assembly language type errors
[12:48] <angelete2> xangua: what do you want to mean?
[12:49] <sipior> devral: yeah, have a look at vlock.
[12:49] <angelete2> there is no package with this name
[12:49] <patrik_> Hi, ive got a problem - im going to start a gnome/openbox session when i login it just goes to a black screen then returns to the normal login screen, how to fix it?
[12:49] <splitpaw-mobile> Devral you can install vlock to lock a cli and use screen to multitask  between cli windows
[12:49] <xangua> angelete2: go to software centre-edit-sources-update , to configure updates
[12:49] <sipior> lynx_: damage to the hardware is strongly indicated, i think. have you checked that both cooler and cpu are seated properly?
[12:50] <suarezisthe1> does anyone know when andlinux will be released for 64bit windows... link to there site if you wont to know what it is. ----->>  http://www.andlinux.org/
[12:50] <gaelfx> angelete2: he means that in Software Center, in the Edit menu, select Sources and then select the Updates tab
[12:50] <gaelfx> angelete2: I think
[12:51] <lynx_> sipier: Yes.  The problem with the fan has been that the blade was turning at a slower RPM than normal
[12:51] <lynx_> so I simply replaced the fan and that helped
[12:51] <lynx_> I suspect CPU damage
[12:51] <lynx_> but IU'm n ot entirely sure because wind ows works perfectly fine
[12:51] <gaelfx> suarezisthe1: this channel is for Ubuntu support
[12:51] <guterm> quit
[12:51] <lynx_> I am using ubuntu
[12:52] <angelete2> thanks gaelf: i have only shell access, no graphical interface
[12:52] <patrik_> Hi, ive got a problem - im going to start a gnome/openbox session when i login it just goes to a black screen then returns to the normal login screen, how to fix it?
[12:52] <lynx_> WHY ISN'T ANYONE HELPING ME
[12:52] <lynx_> What type of error is it
[12:52] <gaelfx> angelete2: ah, sorry, I didn't see your whole story, could you tell me what it is you need to do?
[12:52] <Pici> !patience | lynx_
[12:53] <xangua> angelete2: well then update the system manually
[12:53] <sipior> lynx_: i think everyone will steer clear of you now.
[12:53] <lynx_> oh well
[12:53] <gaelfx> angelete2: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:53] <lynx_> It was woreth a drty
[12:54] <gaelfx> angelete2: er, scratch that second sudo
[12:54] <lynx_> come on fuckin help me
[12:54] <lynx_> come on fuckin help me!
[12:54] <FloodBot1> lynx_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:54] <xangua> lynx_: stop that

[12:55] <Halabund> Do you know of any decent *offline-usable* Chinese dictionaries?  Are there any which allow hovering a character anywhere on the screen, and gives a popup with the translation (there are several that do this on Windows---obviosuly they don't work with all programs but they work with most)
[12:55] <patrik_> :)
[12:55] <patrik_> Hi, ive got a problem - im going to start a gnome/openbox session when i login it just goes to a black screen then returns to the normal login screen, how to fix it? - ive googled it and askubuntu it:/
[12:58] <Halabund> Do you know of any (Chinese) dictionaries for linux which allow me to hover over any word in the UI of any program, press a key combo, and get a translation in a popup?  Several similar programs are available for Windows, and I miss this functionality on Linux.  Note that UI elements are usually not copyable and that I can't easily re-type Chinese characters into a dictionary!
[12:59] <sipior> Halabund: you might have better luck asking in #ubuntu-zh
[12:59] <sipior> Halabund: ah sorry, i have that backward. :-)
[12:59] <Halabund> sipior, don't they speak Chinese there?  My Chinese is not really in a usable state yet ...
[13:00] <Halabund> if it were, I wouldn't need such a dictionary ;)
[13:02] <sam-_-> hey. i wanna setup a vpn server (l2tp/ipsec) on the most recent stable ubuntu. any good and in depth tutorials?
[13:02] <sipior> Halabund: so there's a "stardic" package (not to be confused with stardict). might be worth a look.
[13:04] <Halabund> sipior, do you have a link to their webpage?  Can't google it up, only finding stardic x for Mac.  Or you only found the package?
[13:04] <zen_monkey> i've managed to upgrade to natty but Unity isn't working even close to "good" graphics and mouse glitches motsly, is there any known issue that's pulling this?
[13:06] <sipior> Halabund: hmm. looks like it has been merged with stardict, sometime after the release of hardy. http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/stardic
[13:06] <zen_monkey> stuff like clicking a menu that won't dissapear or hovering over some button displaying help text that wont go from screen until logout
[13:07] <zen_monkey> far away from a usable system if i'm asked :D
[13:13] <sam-_-> hey. i wanna setup a vpn server (l2tp/ipsec) on the most recent stable ubuntu. any good and in depth tutorials?
[13:14] <Halabund> sipior, StarDict seems to have this feature on Windows (see the last screenshot: http://www.stardict.org/ ).  I'll install and see if it works on Linux
[13:14] <Halabund> sipior, thanks for the pointer
[13:16] <mrjohns> Hi. I have this problem with my keyboard. I would like to know how to assign to the windows key of my laptop as the key that have the value of the minor and major sign (this:  <> ). How am I able to modify the keyboard layout, to assign that key (<>) to the windows-key ?. Are there some graphical tool for this ?.
[13:17] <Halabund> sipior, it only works for selectable text, but that's already pretty good for using in irc
[13:18] <josemota> i have installed the nvidia drivers through the additional drivers panel. i had my two monitors working but after the install only one is working.
[13:18] <sipior> mrjohns: have a look at xkeycaps
[13:18] <josemota> how can i put this to work?
[13:18] <mrjohns> sipior, thanks!.
[13:18] <zen_monkey> josemota: anything like an nvidia control panel?
[13:19] <josemota> great, now only my terminal is working.
[13:19] <compizz> I have a problem

[13:22] <zertyui> i try to ssh to my server without asking password each time ssh on it
[13:22] <zen_monkey> compizz: nah, at least for this :p look for something like enable window decorations
[13:23] <compizz> ALlright Im searching
[13:23] <zertyui> so i start to put something like ssh root@myserver.com
[13:23] <mrjohns> sipior, the keyboard that I have ( a Dell Vostro 1520 keyboard ) is not listed. ¿ How am I able to deal with this ?. This tool looks fantastic, however I'm not able to find my keyboard. How am I able to setup this editing text files, or using another tool ?.
[13:23] <zertyui> when i run this script it asks for password
[13:23] <rodrigo39-48987> hi
[13:24] <rodrigo39-48987> anybody help me in DHCP server configuration?
[13:24] <zertyui> how to call to the password and put  the password on the script ?
[13:26] <rodrigo39-48987> the dhcp server gime IP normaly, but don't access internet in client
[13:26] <Thelmaria> How do I check whether a certain module is currently running in my kernel? modprobe <module> gives no output.
[13:26] <rodrigo39-48987> the server access internet work fine.
[13:26] <rodrigo39-48987> ubunutu-br
[13:27] <sipior> mrjohns: well, it's just an interface to xmodmap, so you can use that.
[13:27] <Pici> Thelmaria: lsmod
[13:27] <mrjohns> sipior, great. Thanks.
[13:27] <D3RGPS31> what's the channel for alpha/beta support

[13:28] <mikeX> hi, trying to install 11.04 32-bit on a system with two disks, one sata, one ide. While gparted detects both disks and lets me create the partitions I want in the IDE disk (my installation target), only the sata one is detected by the installer. Any idea how to change that?
[13:29] <sipior> zertyui: have a look at setting up rsa authentication keys: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys . also consider using Keychain: http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Keychain .
[13:29] <mikeX> (sda and sdb respectively, only sda seems detected by the installer)
[13:30] <Thelmaria> rodrigo39-48987: Check your clients gateway address / DHCP gateway settings.
[13:30] <Pricey> Howdy. I've lost my sound volume applet. How do I get it back? (NOT gnome-volume-control-applet, the shiny one that has banshee integration)
[13:31] <Calinou> D3RGPS31: #ubuntu+1
[13:31] <Calinou> Pricey: right click the top taskbar, there should be an option for adding applets
[13:31] <Calinou> here you can have the sound volume applet
[13:31] <Pricey> Calinou: filtering by 'sound', there is nothing.
[13:32] <Pricey> Calinou: I also don't see anything obvious when scrolling the list.
[13:32] <D3RGPS31> Calinou: thank you
[13:32] <Calinou> there's only one volume control applet for me, the one with banshee integration
[13:35] <ionite> does anyone knows how to install barry for black berry phones?
[13:36] <Pricey> Calinou: aha... apparently I'd removed the "indicator-sound" package.
[13:36] <Calinou> oh, that
[13:36] <D3RGPS31> what would i normally do if my openbox autorun aren't being executed :v
[13:36] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:36] <Calinou> when using apt-get, check for removed packages

[13:44] <ionite> does anyone knows how to install barry for black berry phones?
[13:44] <silverarrow_> is there a common reason why some sites, and software are slow? Like xchat taking for ever to connect
[13:44] <silverarrow_> ?
[13:44] <nT4BR> how to regenerate pub key from a private key ssh?
[13:44] <silverarrow_> Transmission is very slow to connect too,
[13:44] <Calinou> encoder not found > need lib...
[13:45] <Calinou> silverarrow_: your connection, or the server's connection probably
[13:45] <Maikl27> Calinou: and which? I can't find it
[13:45] <Calinou> go to http://speedtest.net
[13:45] <Calinou> I don't know
[13:45] <Calinou> I'm not a video master :/
[13:45] <Maikl27> that's bad
[13:45] <silverarrow_> Calinou, probably something like that, but most sites load fine
[13:46] <gaelfx> is there a way to simply search for packages with apt-get without actually installing them?

[13:48] <jstoone> Hey guys, I really want to get into listening to podcasts like UbuntuUK podcast, any suggestions how to listen?
[13:48] <jstoone> which packages etc.
[13:48] <exiff> hello
[13:49] <gaelfx> jstoone: I personally use a Chrome extension called OnAir
[13:49] <exiff> how do I zip directories from the command line?
[13:50] <gaelfx> exiff: you could install 7zip, but I'm sure there's a built-in method that might be just as good
[13:50] <exiff> I wanna convert a lot of files from .cbr to .cbz
[13:50] <jstoone> exiff: unzip <file>
[13:50] <exiff> the problem is I wanna use a script to unrar then zip the directories
[13:51] <jstoone> exiff: Why not tar?
[13:51] <dv310p3r> How do I remove all panels. I'm using a dock now and I don't need panels?
[13:52] <exiff> they are comic book archives... and only cbr and cbz get thumbnails in nautilalus
[13:52] <livingdaylight> Having trouble installing Brother DCP-167 printer on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit. Anyone have experience with this?
[13:52] <exiff> *nautilus
[13:53] <livingdaylight> Anyone can tell me what dpkg  -i  --force-all does?
[13:53] <exiff> im using python,and all that's missing is the commmand to zip the directories
[13:54] <jstoone> exiff: let me look for 1 sec
[13:54] <glebihan> livingdaylight, it installs the packages passed on the command line, ignoring all errors
[13:54] <exiff> thanks jstoone
[13:54] <livingdaylight> glebihan, is that a way of installing a 32-bit deb file on a 64-bit machine?
[13:56] <glebihan> livingdaylight, no you should not do that (this --force-all option should only be used when trying to repair a broken package database)
[13:56] <exiff> no way I'm manually changing 20 GB worth of cbr files
[13:56] <jstoone> exiff: haha for sure!
[13:56] <livingdaylight> glebihan, ok, thanks
[13:56] <gaelfx> exiff: 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 .cbz
[13:56] <livingdaylight> I@m stuck then
[13:57] <jstoone> exiff: what IRC client are you using?
[13:57] <gaelfx> exiff: and I know 7zip can make .zip files ;)
[13:57] <glebihan> livingdaylight, where did you find that package you are trying to install ?
[13:57] <exiff> very well noted gaelfx, but I'm dealing with thousands of individual directories
[13:57] <exiff> I'm using AndroIRC
[13:57] <livingdaylight> glebihan, http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn3.html
[13:58] <illio> I'm getting a really weird error with my Ubuntu install.. I can't open nautilus and look at files.. it doesn't open at all and doesn't give any error messages if open it from a terminal.. I can browse my files just fine form the Terminal though..
[13:58] <gaelfx> exiff: but you also said you're making a script, right? can't you just add the extension change to the script? use 'mv x.zip x.cbz'
[13:59] <RobinJ> i've got a wpa secured wireless network, and i can connect to it using ubuntu server... but how do i make sure it connects on bootup? because i've got an openssh-server running
[13:59] <exiff> zip doesn't let me compress directories...
[13:59] <dv310p3r> I can't delete my last panel. Any help?
[13:59] <jstoone> exiff: gaelfx: there's a python module called "zipfile" - import zipfile - it comes with ubuntu. Here's a little tut: http://effbot.org/librarybook/zipfile.htm
[14:00] <glebihan> livingdaylight, well the instruction are indeed to use that --force-all option but that's really ugly
[14:00] <jstoone> exiff: oh, so you're thinking about the compression? not the "collection" effect
[14:00] <glebihan> livingdaylight, let me have a look at it
[14:00] <livingdaylight> glebihan, appreciate it
[14:00] <exiff> collection?
[14:01] <exiff> essentially I wanna convert many files from rar to zip.
[14:01] <jstoone> exiff: tough one..
[14:01] <gulzar> How to MAKE LXDE as light weight (on resources) as it is on Debian 6.0... ( only 112 MB in standby mode)?
[14:01] <jstoone> exiff: I would REALLY recommend doing some bash magic...
[14:02] <exiff> how does fileroller do it? what command does it use to make cbz?
[14:02] <jewles> w00t, I have sucessfully migrated all my servers from FBSD to Ubuntu server! :)
[14:02] <jstoone> jewles: A bit off-topic, but congratulations mate! Welcome (:
[14:03] <jstoone> exiff: don't know what you mean by "fileroller"?
[14:03] <jewles> sorry i didn't realize there was a 'topic' :)
[14:03] <RobinJ> archive manager = file roller
[14:03] <jstoone> exiff: aha, got it ;)
[14:03] <exiff> bash eh? hmmm... I'll do my best... thanks for your help. ^^,
[14:03] <bastidrazor> dv310p3r: in gconf-editor navigate to desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel   then delete the words gnome-panel. log out and back in. no more panel
[14:03] <jewles> how does one make the pretty logon banner go away?
[14:03] <Pici> exiff: zip -r file.zip path/
[14:04] <exiff> is it really that simple?
[14:04] <jstoone> Pici: he needs to unrar it first ;)
[14:04] <Pici> jstoone: iirc its unrar x whatever.rar
[14:05] <exiff> unraring is not the issue... ctrl-a,right click, extract here..
[14:05] <glebihan> livingdaylight, well there doesn't seem to be a way to get the source for those packages
[14:05] <jstoone> jewles: Pici Yea, I just thought that he /wanted/ to do it in python.
[14:06] <livingdaylight> glebihan, ok
[14:06] <exiff> and renaming is easy with gprename...
[14:06] <glebihan> livingdaylight, as it comes from the manufacturer, I'd say you might as well give those instructions a try and see if it works, but they did a really ugly job there
[14:06]  * exiff bows
[14:06] <exiff> thank you .
[14:06] <RobinJ> loc
[14:07] <jstoone> exiff: Pici came with the answar, but no problem. ask away if you need any help.
[14:08] <RobinJ> i've got a wpa secured wireless network, and i can connect to it using ubuntu server... but how do i make sure it connects on bootup? because i've got an openssh-server running
[14:09] <silverarrow_> how do you check if you port is being forwarded in transmission ?
[14:09] <RobinJ> by clicking the "check" button beneath the field...
[14:10] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: you go to edit->preferences and the network tab should have a "Check Port" button
[14:10] <rumpe1> RobinJ, look into wpa_supplicant
[14:10] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, so, really simple?
[14:10] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: it doesn't seem to work properly unless you actually have an active torrent going though
[14:10] <RobinJ> sigh
[14:10] <RobinJ> rumpe1: as i said, i can connect
[14:10] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: generally, yeah
[14:10] <RobinJ> but i want it to connect on bootup
[14:11] <Anonymo> Hey, I've got a problem - Ubuntu doesn't shutdown - just hangs midway, and nothing happens?
[14:11] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, I have had weird issues with slow seeding and downloading
[14:11] <datruth> is there a frontend to openvpn?
[14:11] <gaelfx> RobinJ: does it not connect on startup now?
[14:11] <rumpe1> RobinJ, i would try putting it into /etc/rc.local or build a upstart-script
[14:11] <RobinJ> ... probably not or i wouldnt be asking ;p
[14:12] <RobinJ> yeah i know i have to put it there... but how do i put it there?
[14:12] <RobinJ> in what formatting?
[14:12] <RobinJ> rc.local i mean
[14:12] <muneeb> how can i replace evolution with thunderbird in 11.04? and have notifications even if TB is closed?
[14:12] <rumpe1> RobinJ, rc.local is just a regular script
[14:12] <RobinJ> ah, and does it run as root?
[14:12] <rumpe1> RobinJ, yes
[14:12] <RobinJ> ok
[14:12] <RobinJ> thanks
[14:13] <Thelmaria> I have 4 rsync threads running when syncing two harddrives - any way I can reduce that ?
[14:13] <splitpaw-mobile> Robinj you can run like su -c yourusernameyou want it to runas  appname
[14:13] <glebihan> RobinJ, also in order for it to be executed on startup, you have to make sure it is executable
[14:13] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, port is closed ?
[14:14] <oneliner> hello 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 individually
[14:15] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: it sounds like you haven't forwarded the port, do you have access to the router you're connected to?
[14:15] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: also, is uPnP enabled in the Transmission preferences?
[14:15] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, well when my neighbor comes home, we are sharing internet
[14:16] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, upnp?
[14:16] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: it's a way for Transmission to automatically ask the router to forward the port
[14:17] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: however, if you're just using the modem provided by your ISP, you probably won't be able to forward the ports and whatnot
[14:17] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, I shall look for it
[14:17] <oneliner> Thelmaria: that would depend on your directory structure, if you can relocate all syncable directories under one common path, you could effectively resume with one thread
[14:17] <RobinJ> another 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 started
[14:17] <Thelmaria> oneliner: It's syncing /, with the only exclude being the mount point of the second hdd - all under one path.
[14:18] <dageriv> RobinJ: look up screen
[14:18] <RobinJ> no other way to do it dageriv ?
[14:18] <jamal_> help
[14:18] <josemota> i'm installing netbeans and i need to find the java path. where's it usually at?
[14:18] <dageriv> RobinJ: i dont know. tyr putting a & behind the command. e.g. cat /etc/passwd &
[14:19] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, yes upnp it's marked off for
[14:19] <gaelfx> dageriv: I think that will still keep the process as a child of the session it was created in, could be wrong though
[14:19] <oneliner> Thelmaria: then maybe it needs all the threads for such a wide access, have you tried Lsync?
[14:19] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: does that mean it's on or it's off?
[14:19] <silverarrow_> on
[14:19] <silverarrow_> sorry
[14:20] <oneliner> Lsync works with os triggers so its lighter when it comes to parsing large path structures
[14:20] <jamal__> hello
[14:21] <w30> RobinJ, and also type exit to quit the shell rather than just killing it with the of the  x button
[14:21] <silverarrow_> gaelfx there is an option "pick a random port everytime transmision is started"
[14:21] <gaelfx> RobinJ: http://uw714doc.sco.com/en/SDK_tools/_Special_Characters.htmlhttp://uw714doc.sco.com/en/SDK_tools/_Special_Characters.html
[14:21] <RobinJ> w30: what difference does that make? Oo
[14:21] <Thelmaria> oneliner: Nope, I shall look at it - cheers.
[14:21] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, it would be tricky to open a port?
[14:22] <oneliner> Thelmaria: its what i use :)
[14:22] <jamal__> looking for centreon pro ?
[14:22] <jamal__> any on e?
[14:22] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: if you have upnp, you shouldn't have to do anything to open the port, however, if you don't, it's a little bit tiresome changing it, yes
[14:22] <w30> RobinJ, it does make a difference,why? I dono..
[14:23] <RobinJ> k xd
[14:23] <jamal__> exit
[14:23] <gaelfx> RobinJ: er, sorry, the useful one is: http://uw714doc.sco.com/en/SDK_tools/_Using_the_nohup_Command.html
[14:23] <gaelfx> I guess nohup is the way to let a process run even after you logout
[14:23] <silverarrow_> gaelfx, I hope upnp will work then
[14:24] <Thelmaria> josemota: /usr/bin/java ?
[14:24] <gaelfx> silverarrow_: like I said, if you have your own router, it shouldn't be a problem, it's the ISP provided modems that are generally a pita
[14:24] <josemota> Thelmaria: didn't find it there.
[14:25] <RobinJ> it's strange typing a command on your laptop, and hearing your desktop computer spin up next to you xd
[14:25] <josemota> Thelmaria: never mind
[14:25] <josemota> Thelmaria: it is there.
[14:25] <silverarrow_> gaelfx; I'm not shore what we have, a white box on the second floor in the hall lol
[14:25] <Thelmaria> josemota: If in doubt, 'which java' should give you the path to the binary.
[14:26] <attj> I restart my computer and got this login keyring screen. The problem was that i couldn't type anything on login screen. Actually i can do nothing either mouse or keyboard. So i went started graphic failsafe mode and removed the keyring but now it asks a new password and confirm that password not removed
[14:26] <attj> and i still can't type or use mouse
[14:26] <pyarun> hey guys, i am stuk with the user permissions. my ftp user writes a file to dir A then other user will have to move this file to some other dir. but the files created by ftp have only rw for user, its not taking the the parent dir permissions,
[14:26] <w30> RobinJ, Linux was born on the internet so networking is natural to it.
[14:27] <RobinJ> :p
[14:27] <attj> is there a way to login via terminal or remove that key totally?
[14:27] <pyarun> plz help me with applying the parent dir permission to its files
[14:27] <attj> that keyriing
[14:28] <Almindor> hello
[14:28] <erkan^> !firefox
[14:28] <Almindor> I have trouble with getting LAMP working on Ubuntu Server
[14:28] <Nemomni> Hi, I have a problem: I have removed the panel which is in top-right of the screen, the one indicating time and so on. How can I add it again?
[14:28] <Almindor> I installed all the packages and the DB is running but PHP doesn't seem to be able to work with mysql
[14:29] <Almindor> like if it can't find the .so, I even specified extension_dir and made symlinks to the mysql.so
[14:29] <Nemomni> Hi, I have a problem: I have removed the panel which is in top-right of the screen, the one indicating time and so on. How can I add it again?
[14:30] <petoo> Hello
[14:30] <Nemomni> hello
[14:30] <Nemomni> petoo, can you help me?
[14:31] <Pici> Nemomni: Did you remove the entire panel, or just that applet?
[14:31] <Guest75724> salut
[14:31] <hylian> Guest75724, hello
[14:32] <Guest75724> hello
[14:32] <josemota> Thelmaria: Netbeans is complaining of not finding the JDK, hence the question
[14:32] <pmitros> I was wondering if someone could help me with three tests. (1) Check what DNS server is serving mitros.org (b) If it's the new one (dyndns and not everydns), check the MX records (c) Send a test e-mail to my account there.
[14:33] <Thelmaria> pyarun: I think what you're after is a file ACL - googleing for 'directory specific umask' leads me to the 'setfacl' command, which I have never used - might be of use to you.
[14:33] <pmitros> I just switched servers, and the old ones are still in cache over here.
[14:33] <pyarun> Thelmaria: thanks for the tip
[14:33] <Thelmaria> josemota: How are you installing netbeans ?
[14:33] <josemota> through its installer
[14:34] <josemota> Thelmaria: i downloaded directly from their website
[14:34] <josemota> it's a 130+MB .sh file
[14:34] <hylian> Guest75724, if you want to just talk, let me suggest channel ##club-ubuntu. a nice lively bunch.
[14:35] <Thelmaria> josemota: There is a netbeans in the ubuntu repos, you could try installing that - although I don't know how recent / updated it is. Afraid I can't help much w.r.t no JDK, I don't use netbeans.
[14:35] <josemota> Thelmaria: me neither. In fact, I don't even use Java. Work thing.
[14:35] <petoo> Pici, I am using hping with root privilege and it gives back reply as : "sendto operation not permitted" , how can i make it work?
[14:36] <Pici> petoo: I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with hping.
[14:36] <cherry> hey can anyone help me with a video card issue?
[14:36] <petoo> Pici, its ok thanks anyway :)
[14:36] <Thelmaria> josemota: You do have a JDK installed?
[14:37] <cherry> or it may be a sound card issue
[14:37] <cherry> idk
[14:37] <josemota> Thelmaria: I realized I do not. Installing openjdk-6-jdk
[14:38] <Thelmaria> josemota: That should do it. :)
[14:38] <cherry> basicly every time i watch a youtube video my comoputer freezez
[14:38] <josemota> Thelmaria: I certainly hope so. If it were me, I'd install ruby 1.9 and that's it.
[14:38] <cherry> and then it flashes a Nvida screen and goes to login
[14:39] <hylian> cherry, are you watching youtube in full screen when this happens?
[14:39] <cherry> no
[14:40] <MoL0ToV> i to all! i just write: sudo update-rc.d tftpd-hpa defaults   , but if i reboot i cannot see tftp server running. someone can say to me the reason?
[14:40] <cherry> I get like halfway through the video then it breaks
[14:41] <josemota> thank you very much for helping, Thelmaria. Have a great one :)
[14:41] <hylian> cherry, my first suggestion would be to install and try another browser, i am assuming you are usine firefox. try this on chrome, because I am not 100% convinced this is your video card..
[14:41] <Thelmaria> josemota: You too.
[14:41] <cherry> ok
[14:42] <attj> does somebody know how to remove login keyring when ubuntu starts?
[14:42] <pmitros> Guess not.
[14:42] <attj> when it comes to screen i cannot use my mouse or keyboard
[14:43] <hylian> attj, if you go into your home folder, and then use control h, you will see hidden folders. one of them will say gnome2. in their is a keyring folder. delete the contents in the keyring folder.
[14:43] <cherry> k watching now
[14:43] <cherry> if i quit randomly
[14:43] <cherry>  you know why
[14:43] <hylian> cherry, understood.
[14:44] <attj> at my keyrings folder find user.keystore and .user.keystore.swp
[14:44] <bfig> how can i recover a job i ^Z'ed in graphical mode?
[14:44] <hylian> attj, you can safely remove everything in that folder, provided you already know all your passwords to websites.
[14:44] <bfig> (i accidentally pressed ^Z in gvim)
[14:45] <attj> hylian, i have to use recovery mode because the problem :)
[14:45] <lrojas> hi all, i would like some advice on what laptop could i buy that fully supports linux? ( i would like something slightly modern, 15", etc )
[14:45] <Thelmaria> bfig: fg
[14:45] <bfig> if i was in a terminal i could just use fg or bg or jobs or something, but in the gui i 'lost' it
[14:45] <Thelmaria> bfig: heh, nevermind me.
[14:45] <frostschutz> bfig: then you most likely closed it. check ps -A | grep gvim
[14:46] <MoL0ToV> i to all! i just write: sudo update-rc.d tftpd-hpa defaults   , but if i reboot i cannot see tftp server running. someone can say to me the reason?
[14:46] <bullgard6> What DEB program package provides the "English - German Dictionary 1.5 [english-german]"?
[14:46] <glebihan> bfig, Ctrl+Z does not stop an application in gui
[14:46] <hylian> attj, did you delete everything inside the keyring folder?
[14:46] <attj> yep, and reboot
[14:46] <z1984> do most ubuntu users use an antivirus?
[14:46] <bfig> weird.. it appeared... in the taskbar?
[14:46] <attj> same problem still :(
[14:46] <bfig> maybe i... never lost it?
[14:46] <cherry> yeah it happened again
[14:46] <hylian> cherry, i see. it most likely is the vid card... i yiy yiy
[14:46]  * bfig is very confused
[14:47] <cherry> i have that driver set up tho
[14:47] <cherry> the "addional driver"
[14:47] <genii-around> z1984: Probably not most. But if you send files to a Windows box from your linux, it may not be a bad idea
[14:47] <cherry> could that be it?
[14:47] <z1984> genii-around: thanks :)
[14:47] <hylian> cherry, the best option is the recommended driver, is that the one you have installed?
[14:47] <cherry> yeah
[14:47] <hdtdi> hi, i have a PC and i have ubuntu. now when i click connection i get "wireless is disabled by hardware switch".. any ideas how to enable it? everywhere in the internet they say fn+f2 but i have no fn button on my normal keyboard
[14:48] <bfig> glebihan, frostschutz, Thelmaria it appeared in the taskbar. i just had a crapload of stuff on it, so i didn't even check (including other gvims). since it disappear without saying anything i figured it just went to bg :|
[14:48] <cherry> hdtdi, is there a switch with a wifi logon on you computer?
[14:48] <bfig> well thanks for the tips anyway :)
[14:48] <HelloWorld321> Do I have to install Maven seperately, or does it come within NetBeans?
[14:48] <cherry> *logo
[14:48] <bfig> bye :)
[14:48] <hylian> cherry, because my set up offers my the reommended and 2 additionals, and because you used that wording, i was thinking maybe the best driver for stability isn't loaded, am I wrong?
[14:48] <hdtdi> cherry, i am not really sure what is the wifi logo?
[14:49] <attj> hylian, my /.gnome2/keyrings folder is now empty but it still ask a new keyring password and confimation that password.
[14:49] <egoproctor> if I am trying to learn about hardening an ubuntu distro will the debian security manual suffice or are their other documents I should also reference?
[14:49] <cherry> on my computer its an anntena with lines next to it
[14:49] <hylian> attj, yes it will. but if you enter nothing, and just hit continue, it will ask you if you want to continue unsafely without a password, and then you say yes.
[14:50] <cherry> hylian, i jsut chase the one that said reccmineded but ill see what one I have
[14:50] <hdtdi> well i looked for something like that.. at the back on my pc and at the front panel but i cant find any signs
[14:50] <attj> hylian, i can't press nothing :)
[14:50] <hdtdi> no wifi logo.. and no switch at all
[14:51] <hylian> attj, it should say continue, not nothing, is there 2 fields for password entry, or one?
[14:51] <cherry> hylian, ther is (version current) and version 173
[14:51] <attj> i mean ubuntu doesn't take any orders from my mouse or keyboard
[14:51] <cherry> i am using version current
[14:51] <attj> 2 fields: new password and confirm
[14:52] <hylian> cherry, version current is best. i would suggest trying another driver, but the recommended, which I believe is your version current, is usually the most stable.
[14:52] <cherry> could it also be my audo?
[14:52] <cherry> cause i just messed with that
[14:52] <Guest91560> n
[14:52] <Guest91560> i dont think so...
[14:52] <hdtdi> cherry, i am sure i have wifi coz lshw -C network shows http://pastebin.com/SFXvVaJ4
[14:52] <cherry> hdtdi, no switches?
[14:53] <hdtdi> cherry, switch is like button right? on/off ?
[14:53] <cherry> yeah
[14:53] <cherry> like on the back or somthing
[14:53] <hdtdi> well. no switches
[14:53] <cherry> and that its an ethernet poert
[14:53] <cherry> i think
[14:53] <cherry> wait nvm
[14:55] <hdtdi> cherry, is it possible to be somewhere inside the box?
[14:56] <cherry> probally not
[14:56] <hylian> cherry, it could be. cherry, i am trying to think of a way to test this.. i am going to do some research, what exactly did you do to your audio?
[14:56] <MoL0ToV> solved adding /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start ; /etc/init.d/vsftpd start ; in rc.local
[14:56] <dv310p3r> I can't get AWN to show a desktop drapes icon. Any ideas?
[14:57] <cherry> I was trying to get my bose spekers working so i messed with the ASLA config, changing the defaults.ctl.card 0
[14:57] <cherry> defaults.pcm.card 0
[14:57] <cherry> to 1's
[14:57] <Thelmaria> What is /proc/kcore?
[14:58] <hylian> cherry, not that i want you to download a lot of software, but I suggest next using something like minitube, which can be found in the software center. it doesn't use flash, so if it somehow is related to flash, we will definetly see a difference. anyway we can use to rule out a possibility is a good way :)
[14:58] <cherry> ok
[15:01] <hylian> cherry i think the one in the repos doesn't work.. atleast i am getting no functioning here.
[15:02] <cherry> yeah same
[15:02] <NSQ> quick question: is it possible now to create a encrypted lvm with the live cd, or do i still need the alternate cd for that ?
[15:02] <cherry> freezes on video
[15:03] <cherry> hold on leme try somthing
[15:03] <cherry> i jsut unpluged the usbn speakers
[15:03] <NSQ> or lets say, is it possible to fully encrypt my whole disk with the ubuntu live cd? is there a option for that? .. i heard in previous version you had to download alternate cd to do this.
[15:04] <hylian> cherry i got minitube to work by simply downloading it here http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube, and then unzipping it, and running minitube out of that folder. this would be a decent way to make sure it's not flash
[15:06] <hylian> attj, did you just press confirm without entering a password?
[15:06] <attj> hylian, i can not :(
[15:06] <ares_> Hello
[15:06] <hylian> attj, strange, normally that's the solution, why can't you? no mouse?
[15:06] <hylian> ares_, hello
[15:06] <cherry> nope
[15:07] <hylian> cherry, did you see my second post about minitube?
[15:07] <attj> hylian, yep, can not use my mouse or keyboard. ubuntu doesn't take any orders from them
[15:07] <ares_> Who can recommend a good talking program which works on linux and windows like skype
[15:07] <cherry> that it doesnt work?
[15:07] <cherry> skype
[15:07] <hylian> cherry, cherry i got minitube to work by simply downloading it here http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube, and then unzipping it, and running minitube out of that folder. this would be a decent way to make sure it's not flash
[15:07] <fmauro> or google talk inbrowser
[15:07] <nCrazed> ares_ skype, google talk
[15:07] <ares_> skype is piece of shit
[15:07] <nCrazed> or mumble/ts/ventrillo
[15:08] <ares_> i tried messenger
[15:08] <ziikutv> ares_ Agreed
[15:08] <ares_> but i have problem with it
[15:08] <hylian> attj, strange... is this a usb keyboard, or a older round type?
[15:08] <ares_> you can't call in that program :(
[15:08] <attj> hylian, i read somewhere that if login keyring password is same as user password, that screen should never come. Any thoughts how i might change that password in recovery mode?
[15:09] <h00k> ares_: please keep the language appropriate for the channel
[15:09] <ziikutv> Hi can anyone help me? 2/4 times when i go on a page w/ flash on it.. the area of flash content appears black.. sometimes when I refresh the content appears... but its such a beetch refreshing all the times as Flash is everywhere.
[15:09] <ares_> Sorry I'm talking english very bad
[15:09] <attj> hylian, My keyboard is trusty and old one (~8 years) :)
[15:10] <hylian> attj, have you booted to regular mode since removing keyrings?
[15:10] <NSQ> ziikutv: what browser do you use? or is it on every browser?
[15:10] <fr0sted> hi, is there a way to boot into my ubuntu boot / from within windows 7 ? so i can install the drivers i need etc without haviong to boot into ubuntu, then backk to 7 etc ?
[15:10] <attj> hylian, yes
[15:10] <hylian> cherry yeah i have skype, do you mean so you can see my desktop?
[15:10] <ziikutv> I am using chromium.
[15:10] <hylian> attj, is it a usb keyboard though?
[15:10] <cherry> no i was responding to someone else :p
[15:11] <cherry> in minitue its working so far
[15:11] <attj> hylian, no usb in my keyboard
[15:11] <ziikutv> it also occurs in firefox
[15:11] <attj> does that really matter?
[15:11] <fr0sted> anyone?
[15:12] <Pici> fr0sted: no.
[15:12] <cherry> hylian, it works without flash
[15:12] <VerdeNube> hi, i need help  with my internet connection ...
[15:12] <hylian> attj, i was hoping it was usb, so you could move it to another port... i have to admit i am stumped...
[15:12] <fr0sted> Pici not even with some kind of virtual box ?
[15:13] <attj> :)
[15:13] <attj> hylian, my mouse uses an usb-port though
[15:13] <hylian> cherry, ahh, so this is a flash problem... strange. this is either a flahs problem directly, or it is a flash to browser problem... hmm.
[15:13] <hylian> attj, move it, and see if you get anything, usb ports have a strange issue of become "acclimated"
[15:14] <fr0sted> my problem is this, i cant get my wifi adaptor to work, its not shown in lspci, and i cant find anything about it on the internet .. so cant get connected to the internet using ubuntu
[15:14] <VerdeNube> does anyone here knows how i can reset my network settings in ubutu 10.04?
[15:15] <hylian> cherry, well, thanks to minitube, we know what the problem is.. i would start by removing flash and reinstalling it...
[15:15] <cherry> ok
[15:15] <VerdeNube> i was configguring my router this morning for ssh, anyway i only end up not having a connection in my ubuntu
[15:15] <skutrr> hey, I'm having trouble booting.... sometimes it will get stuck on the bootloader screen, and sometimes I get a flashing line at the top left corner of my screen Ubuntu 11.04 please help
[15:15] <VerdeNube> so now, im using xp, installed in virtualbox
[15:16] <hylian> attj, anything from moving the mouse?
[15:16] <VerdeNube> strange cause i have connection in my virtualbox but not in my main OS (ubuntu)
[15:16] <cherry> kk reinstallign now
[15:17] <attj> hylian, i can hoover the cursor with mouse but nothing happes when i press buttons
[15:17] <NSQ> VerdeNube: afaik there is a option that a virtualbox machine appears as well yeah ... a new machine :P .. so it has a different interal ip and mac adress, that's why your vm has a connection maybe.
[15:18] <hylian> attj, strange, so that gets rid of the acclimation problem, but still can't use the mouse... i am afraid i am out of options... this is a strange error. i think i need to ask someone to join in on the "fun".
[15:18] <cannonball> Hi all, I need some pointers.  A coworker has 11.04 with encrypted home dir.  It's broken and won't decrypt his home directory.  (He had changed his user id to make an nfs mount, don't know exactly how long ago it was.  We changed it back, but it won't decrypt his home directory now when he logs in).
[15:18] <VerdeNube> NSQ: yeah, that figures.. but do you know how i can reset my network settings in ubuntu? tnx
[15:19] <hylian> everyone, attj has an unusual error, and I was wondering if you could help him. he has no keyboard or mouse control, either with safe mode or normal mode... and I am stumped
[15:19] <cannonball> I've not worked with encrypted homed irectory before. I'm trying to figure out where in the process it's breaking and not exactly sure where to look.
[15:19] <attj> hylian, thank you very much :) I'm alredy ran out options
[15:19] <cherry> ugh this takes forever to isntall
[15:21] <hylian> cherry, sorry... but that probably means that you are getting a new version, unless you used the "remove completely" option in synaptic
[15:21] <cherry> kk there
[15:22] <cherry> should I try again
[15:22] <NSQ> VerdeNube: uh, i think maybe it's your router, if you changed anything there, i would try to reset the router. Anyways, to be honest how to reset that with gnome/ubuntu .. if it's a wireless connection, just delete your connection from the network-manager menu (right click on the icon>properties>wifi), with cable i dunno, sry.
[15:23] <NSQ> VerdeNube: *to be honest i dont know
[15:23] <skutrr> hey, I'm having trouble booting.... sometimes it will get stuck on the bootloader screen, and sometimes I get a flashing line at the top left corner of my screen Ubuntu 11.04 please help
[15:23] <Netfrog> we
[15:24] <VerdeNube> NSQ: it's alright...i've also tried deleting my network connection in network manager, still nothing
[15:25] <VerdeNube> the router too has already been reset
[15:25] <cherry> still borked
[15:25] <hylian> cherry, i yiy yiy
[15:26] <VerdeNube> if the're still a problem in the router, most likely i willl not be able to connect in virtualbox as well...
[15:26] <VerdeNube> but i have connection in VB, not in my main OS
[15:27] <hylian> cherry, i am going to do some research, and see what i come up with... strange. ok do what we know so far, either the browser, flash, or a combination of the two is causing this, most likely. it's probably not the browser, because we tried a different one... anything i am missing?
[15:27] <cherry> ASAL posssibly
[15:27] <cherry> but i dont think that is it
[15:28] <VectorX> hi, i am trying to understand ltsp, was thinking of simulating it in a vmware environment, anyone know of a guide to set such setup up?

[15:33] <Cedara> Question regarding canon-printer ppa : I have successfully downloaded the (pixma ip4850) printer driver from canon, installed the filter-common-i386 and ip4800 series deb file. I now can print, however, I would like to know if I should install the launchpad ppa for canon drivers: ppa:michael-gruz/canon or just wait and see?
[15:34] <Cedara> I'm working with ubuntu 11.04, fyi
[15:34] <AnonPro> hay, I have a question. I have 4 GB of RAM, a Intel Pentium processor and I don't know If I should download the 64 or 32 bit version of ubuntu. And a ATI 4500m series
[15:34] <DaSpawn> anyone have any ideas on the strange config caching effect in php?  I am changing the correct php.ini file but the changes will not take effect untill I completely restart the entire server, restarting the web server the change will not take, what am I missing?
[15:34] <VerdeNube> i lost my internet connect in ubuntu so im now using xp in virtualbox
[15:34] <psycho693> 64bit it will utilize the 4 gigs
[15:34] <hylian> cherry, this appears to be a bug with the browsers, actually. they both use the mozilla flash to browser system. you can edit the flash.sh file, but this is a little tricky, and I don't know how you feel about digging deep into your system files, so i await your response...
[15:35] <cherry> im down
[15:35] <cherry> where can i find it
[15:35] <AnonPro> psycho693 thank you
[15:35] <bluelight> is netbook remix included in the ubuntu 32bit distrobution? will it detect and be kind to my netbook ?
[15:35] <psycho693> Your welcome but do you know which intel processor you have?
[15:35] <frostschutz> AnonPro: "Intel Pentium processor" is awfully vague, my first PC was an Intel Pentium processor with 90Mhz and that was long before 64bit. If your processor is fully 64bit capable use 64bit otherwise 32bit
[15:35] <f00f> DaSpawn, did yopu do /etc/init.d/apache restart
[15:36] <psycho693> frostschutz thanks I was just about to make sure..
[15:36] <f00f> sry im not sure that is location of scrip in ubuntu
[15:36]  * cherry sudo nano then waits for hylian 
[15:36] <AnonPro> @frostschutz, This is my netbook. I have a great PC witha Intel i5 second edition
[15:37] <hylian> cherry the .sh file we want to edit is in your firefox directory, it will either be called simply firefox.sh, or it will be called firefox(version number).sh
[15:37] <w30> AnonPro,going  64 bit is like going 32 bit from 16 bit. It's going to be necessary some day. Why not get on the band wagon now?
[15:37] <psycho693> AnonPro: what processor does your netbook have in it?
[15:37] <AnonPro> I'm using kubuntu 11.04 64 bit right now
[15:37] <hylian> cherry, it's in /usr/lib/firefox, again by itself, or /usr/lib/firefox(version number)
[15:37] <psycho693> Your fine then lol
[15:37] <TheWarden> Hi, I'm trying to install an Asus USB-N13 wireless N adapter driver for Ubuntu 10.04.
[15:37] <DaSpawn> f00f yes I restarted the webs, it may be related to fastcgi not closing processes, I killed everything and it works..  wonder why web server does not kill fastcgi processes on restart...  oh well, guess I answered my own question..  thanks though..
[15:38] <psycho693> Anonpro just keep going with the 64bit
[15:38] <TheWarden> However when I run sudo make install I get "install: cannot stat `rt2870sta.ko': No such file or directory"
[15:38] <AnonPro> ok

There might be an option in one of those two programs in their video settings. I was able to find a setting that fixed my screen tearing in xbmc before I found the ati fix
[15:46] <sipior> psycho693: then i guess you're out of luck.
[15:46] <hylian> attj, any luck?
[15:46] <attj> hylian, not yet, keep googling :)

[15:50] <eros_> Ok cool deleting the folder worked to get firefox running thanks for the help
[15:50] <silverarrow> I usually close transmission with pressing "x" in the upper right corner, but it will not respond? should I just turn of  computer?

[15:51] <hume> silverarrow, you talking about the torrent program transmission?
[15:51] <SIFTU> oneliner: wouldnt you just use nagios or something similar?
[15:52] <silverarrow> hume yes
[15:52] <hume> silverarrow, you can try xkill
[15:52] <silverarrow> hume, however cltr q sort of sol ved the problem
[15:52] <silverarrow> hume, noted
[15:52] <silverarrow> thanks
[15:53] <hume> silverarrow,  or do ps ax | grep transmission in a terminal, and then  kill <process numver>
[15:53] <hplpb> or killall transmission
[15:53] <silverarrow> hplpb, no killall did not work
[15:54] <lotuspsychje> how can i check if the webkit exploits for ubuntu have been patched?
[15:54] <silverarrow> hume, yet again noted, I tried killall but no reaction
[15:54] <rhin0> killall -9 if just killall fails

[15:56] <silverarrow> dAnunt, reinstall grub from ubuntu cd?, there is a function there
[15:56] <hylian> cherry this is not firefox, i think. we pointed directly at the gl, and still crashola... i think this is a flashplayer with your vid card problem. you could try and run a hulu or other flash video site, and if you still have the problem, change vid card driver...

[15:59] <cherry> no
[15:59] <hylian> cherry, this is not firefox, i think. we pointed directly at the gl, and still crashola... i think this is a flashplayer with your vid card problem. you could try and run a hulu or other flash video site, and if you still have the problem, change vid card driver...
[15:59] <silverarrow> dAnunt, yes, but for Ubuntu it is easiest to get stable result from the Ubuntu CD or perhaps usb if you have

[16:00] <cherry> ill try some porn
[16:00] <dAnunt> can i have the website
[16:00] <hplpb> if you have a usb flash drive, you could create a bootable ubuntu usb drive and boot into that to fix grub

[16:05] <whyking> despite nfs-kernel-server being added via rc-update.d nfs-kernel-server default it does not start during boot, any ideas?
[16:06] <hylian> cherry, that's probably our modified sh file. that little trick we did is specifically for youtube. if you take your backed up version and replace it that little problem will probably go away.
[16:07] <cherry> ok
[16:07] <hylian> cherry, try hulu with chrome... just out of curiousty

[16:10] <lotuspsychje> is ubuntu vunrable for usb autorun infections?
[16:10] <cherry> right as i said that it broke
[16:11] <hylian> cherry, if hulu on chrome works, this is a youtube error specifically... at which point it may be on youtube's end, sending a command flash on linux with you vid card can't handle...
[16:11] <cherry> no hulu doesnt work
[16:11] <cherry> it brakes at like a minute
[16:11] <genii-around> lotuspsychje: Yes. http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=10544
[16:12] <sipior> lotuspsychje: not autorun vulnerabilities, but there are amusing things one can do by modifying the firmware on the stick. don't plug untrusted hardware into your computer.
[16:13] <kusznir> Hi all: I've got an ubuntu 11.04 system with NFS-mounted home directories.  Users on the nfs-homes are unable to run evince (gives: EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported), but users not on NFS are able to do so.  Suggestions for correcting it?
[16:13] <hylian> cherry, ok this is not a youtube problem. again we are back to flash being the culprit, or your video card, or both... i would repair the sh file, and try another vid driver, and hope....
[16:13] <cherry> kk
[16:13] <hylian> cherry, as a side note this is most likely not your vid card, but the combination, of which hopefully the other driver can resolve.,
[16:14] <sipior> genii-around: that's an interesting step backwards for linux :-)
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> any way to block sipior?
[16:16] <cherry> kk ill try the new driver
[16:16] <sipior> lotuspsychje: not really. don't plug in untrusted usb sticks.
[16:17] <damno> can I syncronise two local directories using a terminal command?
[16:17] <hume> hplpb, I'm trying  but no luck, but now I discovered that the tearing effect can be produced just by grabbing a window with the mouse and shaking it...then it tears... does that tell you more?
[16:17] <tomodachi> hume: try to enablev vsync
[16:18] <tomodachi> i compiz-config-settings-manager
[16:18] <tomodachi> if not already enabled
[16:18] <johannix> was wondering if there's a way to permanently set /etc/resolv.conf. Whenever I make changes to it, it reverts back when I restart the machine.
[16:18] <hplpb> yeah, sounds like vsync is still not on
[16:19] <SIFTU> kusznir: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/778638
[16:19] <wildc4rd> what is the general preference when running 2 monitors, go for separate x sessions or just run 2 monitors on one session
[16:19] <pavi> I am using some virtual hosting which gave me two hard disks sdb and sdc . Can I combine them and use them ?
[16:19] <damno> hume: enable vsync and vblanc from both your gpu driver control center and ccsm
[16:19] <qin> johannix: man chattr, or make cron to change file after network-manager
[16:19] <hume> damno, how do you mean? (trying the compiz-config manager now)
[16:20] <SIFTU> damno: yes try.. rsync
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> sipior: so far for ubuntu security :p
[16:20] <johannix> qin: thanks. I'll look into it
[16:20] <hplpb> wildc4rd: I'm starting to lean towards two x sessions.. windows keep opening up on the wrong monitor when I don't want them to randomly
[16:20] <damno> hume: yes.. there is a vsync option in ccsm
[16:20] <SIFTU> pavi: yes using LVM or software RAID
[16:20] <sipior> lotuspsychje: the problem is hardly specific to ubuntu, or indeed to linux.
[16:20] <johannix> qin: so there's no way to tell network-manager directly what to do?
[16:21] <pavi> SIFTU,  so I can make RAID work on a VM ?
[16:21] <qin> johannix: NOt that I know of.
[16:21] <wildc4rd> hplpb, thats what I am trying at the moment, and yes, it seems good
[16:21] <lotuspsychje> sipior: did you read the 22 exploits for ubuntu 10.10 last days?
[16:21] <johannix> qin: K. thanks.
[16:21] <cherry> kk im restartin noe
[16:21] <cherry> now
[16:21] <SIFTU> pavi: yeah software RAID.. but you should probably just use LVM as you can shrink/exapand partitions
[16:22] <hume> damno, i have a nividia-card - is it the VBlank option in Xserver Xvideo Settings, or in the OpenGL settings, or both?
[16:22] <pavi> SIFTU, LVM sounds better , still the same question can I use it on VM ?
[16:22] <sipior> lotuspsychje: so?
[16:22] <SIFTU> pavi: yes, it's all done on a software layer
[16:23] <hplpb> wildc4rd: 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 monitor
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> sipior: i just was wondering about how secure everybody says ubuntu is...
[16:23] <damno> hume: I have both the vsync and the vblanc options in the xvideo sett. checked on
[16:23] <eros_> What is the command to open a textfile
[16:23] <hume> damno, ok
[16:23] <wildc4rd> hplpb, are there any performance sacrifices as such?
[16:23] <pavi> SIFTU,  thanks will look into getting LVM on 10.04 :)
[16:23] <eros_> I tried gedit but no luck
[16:23] <sipior> lotuspsychje: use something else if it bothers you. it won't be an improvement.
[16:23] <SIFTU> pavi: lots of tutorials out there
[16:24] <damno> hume: but you still need to enable vblanc from ccsm to get around those creepy tears
[16:24] <hume> damno, ehr.... what do you mean? Is there a setting in the nvidia-settings called "Vsync"?
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> sipior: doesnt bother me, i wanna be informed how safe an Os is...
[16:24] <hume> damno, ok, trying the ccsm too, installing
[16:24] <damno> hume: yes  I do
[16:24] <hplpb> wildc4rd: don't know with two x sessions, I haven't tried it yet.. I would imagine it would have some effect on performance thoug
[16:24] <Gentoo64> lotuspsychje, ubuntu is safe
[16:24] <hume> damno, where? I just have VBlank
[16:25] <hume> damno, "Sync to VBlank"
[16:25] <lotuspsychje> Gentoo64: if its safe why they need to pach 22 exploits for it?
[16:25] <sipior> lotuspsychje: have you read the details for those exploits? go do that now.
[16:25] <Gentoo64> lotuspsychje, even hardened kernels like grsec have vulnerabilities
[16:26] <lotuspsychje> Gentoo64: http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/ubuntu-fixes-webkit-flaws-other-issues-updates-082311
[16:26] <damno> hume: maybe bcoz of the driver differences
[16:26] <sipior> lotuspsychje: you realise webkit is not ubuntu-specific, right?
[16:26] <GreenDance> Hi
[16:26] <hume> damno, would that mean I'm using a driver without vsync option? I'm using "current", recommended by jockey
[16:27] <cherry> seems to work
[16:27] <GreenDance> what are the key differences between ubuntu and debian please?
[16:27] <cherry> hylian, then you so mutch
[16:27] <Calinou> debian is for geeks, ubuntu is for newbies
[16:27] <cherry> thank
[16:27] <Calinou> short definition
[16:27] <cherry> thank
[16:27] <FloodBot1> cherry: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:27] <Calinou> cherry: stop
[16:27] <damno> that differes upon gpu...
[16:27] <damno> hume: that differes upon gpu...
[16:27] <damno> hume: what gpu do u have
[16:27] <hume> ok
[16:27] <tim__> My screen resolution changed to 1024x768. Everything is large and off the screen now.  I cannot autodetect the monitor or change the settings.  Any advice?
[16:28] <hylian> cherry, did it work? :)
[16:28] <sipior> Calinou: i've been running one linux or another for more than a decade and a half. your answer is deeply flawed.
[16:28] <cherry> yessir
[16:28] <eros_> Ok how about this, I am trying to install sublime text via terminal. I decompressed the .tar.bz2 file, entered the "Sublime Text 2" dir but there is not install to make install. There is a green? file named sublime_text that i think is prob the install instructions but dont know how to open it any help
[16:28] <iText> is it a good idea to stick to default irc2 as a irc client on ubuntu?
[16:28] <hume> damno, GeForce 8500 GT
[16:28] <Calinou> I know
[16:28] <hylian> cherry, awesome!
[16:28] <damno> hume:  mine is geforce 7025
[16:28] <Calinou> sipior: I'm not a geek/nolife/insomniac
[16:28] <Calinou> ;P
[16:28] <oCean> Calinou: please keep the sillyness in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:28] <cherry>  just want ot try one more hting
[16:29] <SIFTU> iText: use whatever client you wish
[16:29] <cherry> but now my monter doesnt show up :/
[16:29] <hylian> cherry, your monitor, on the nvidia panel?
[16:29] <cherry> yeah
[16:30] <cherry> i am on a laptop and i use an external monter
[16:30] <iText> irc2 seems more decent than xchat
[16:30] <eros_> nm Vi I guess can i ask when the green file name means
[16:30] <Gentoo64> iText, use what you like. xchat is decent
[16:30] <damno> hume: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU#Tearing.2FStuttering
[16:30] <cherry> from my display port
[16:30] <Pici> !enter
[16:30] <iText> how do we cascade windows in ubuntu
[16:31] <Gentoo64> iText, do you mean tile them?
[16:31] <iText> yes mostly the terminal window tiling
[16:31] <Gentoo64> afaik you need to manually place them
[16:31] <Gentoo64> of course there are specific tiling window managers
[16:32] <hume> damno, thanks. but how is that related to VDPAU?
[16:32] <sacarlson> itext you can create a script to open a few terminals with specified positions
[16:32] <damno> hume: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742643&page=3
[16:32] <damno> hume: see the 5th thread
[16:33] <damno> hume: hume: see the 5th post *sorry
[16:33]  * iText googling on tiling windows on ubuntu like systems
[16:33] <sacarlson> itext example gnome-terminal --geometry=40x20+100+100 -t testnet -x ./multicoind -datadir=/home/sacarlson/.bitcoin/testnet
[16:33] <sacarlson> s
[16:33] <hylian> cherry, you can gksu nvidia-settings, and remove and add monitors (sometimes)
[16:33] <Gentoo64> iText, you can use another wm on top of unity etc
[16:34] <cherry> gksu?
[16:34] <sipior> iText: there's the ion window manager. also ratpoison (i think that's still being developed, anyway)
[16:34] <hume> damno, great, thx
[16:34] <Gentoo64> or if its just terminal terminator tiles the terminal windows
[16:35] <hylian> cherry, yeah, after opening alt f2, or in terminal, gksu is sudo, but for graphical programs. and it's recommended to use gksu instead of sudo for graphics programs.
[16:36] <icar0s> any iptables wizards?
[16:36] <wildc4rd> mmm, can I really not run firefox in separate X sessions on the same box?
[16:37] <sacarlson> icar0s: I've done some iptables
[16:37] <SIFTU> icar0s: lol i wish.. have you looked at fwbuilder?
[16:38] <Gentoo64> icar0s, what are you trying to do?
[16:38] <TheWarden> I've downloaded the Asus N13 linux driver, decompressed it and ran sudo make
[16:38] <oCean> icar0s: there is a specific #Netfilter channel you might want to try?
[16:38] <TheWarden> then sudo make install
[16:39] <TheWarden> then I get the following error message "install: cannot stat `rt2870sta.ko': No such file or directory"
[16:39] <triptec> is it possible to upgrade without changing the kernel.. I'm on a vps with 10.04 and I'd like 11.04??
[16:39] <TheWarden> How can I get this driver to install?
[16:40] <cherry> kk thanks it worked
[16:40] <cherry> :)
[16:40] <hume> where in the compizconfig-settings-manager do I find VSync?
[16:40] <sfsf32> Hello Nerds
[16:42] <keeger> hello
[16:42] <damno> hume: you can also try and see if only enabling Vblanc from ccsm works for you.  System>preferences>ccsm>general> display sett tab> sync to vblanc(look at the end of the window)
[16:42] <keeger> i have an ubuntu based system (Knoppix) and i'm trying to uninstall X11
[16:43] <keeger> i don't see ubuntu-desktop installed.  what's the easiest way to do this?
[16:43] <Pici> keeger: Thats because you're not running Ubuntu. Please ask in #knoppix, not here.
[16:43] <Gentoo64> keeger, maybe use server version
[16:43] <Gentoo64> less of a pita
[16:43] <keeger> it's a prebuilt cd :(
[16:44] <huangkan> hi guys, is there anybody here who is working on some project on launchpad?
[16:44] <Gentoo64> keeger, why do you want x uninstalled
[16:44] <keeger> it's a rescue cd, i just want console only
[16:45] <bullgard6> What DEB program package provides the "English - German Dictionary 1.5 [english-german]"?
[16:45] <Pici> huangkan: If you have specific questions about Launchpad, your best bet it to ask in #launchpad
[16:45] <keeger> and i'm serving it up over NFS, so i'd like to make the image small
[16:45] <damno> hume: you can also try and see if only enabling Vblanc from ccsm works for you.  System>preferences>ccsm>general> display sett tab> sync to vblanc(look at the end of the window)
[16:45] <Gentoo64> keeger, no idea. does it have to be knoppix? id try another distro
[16:46] <dude> i got a grub error installing a module
[16:46] <hume> damno, it's in the OpenGL-settings window, right?
[16:46] <keeger> i have used other ones, but knoppix is the best :(
[16:46] <glebihan> keeger, again you should ask in #knoppix, knoppix is not ubuntu
[16:46] <manno90> hello everybody
[16:46] <keeger> yea i did, they quiet in there
[16:46] <oCean> keeger: please drop the knoppix discussion here
[16:46] <oCean> keeger: that does not make it an #ubuntu issue
[16:46] <keeger> the real question is using apt-get to remove stuff
[16:46] <keeger> but whatevs
[16:46] <Pici> keeger: Try ##linux then
[16:47] <ion_> why I have no access to the terminal with the ubuntu 11.04
[16:48] <Gentoo64> ion_, nothng happens when you click it?
[16:49] <ion_> Gentoo64: no I press alt+F2 to call the terminal but I can't
[16:49] <Calinou> ctrl+alt+t
[16:49] <splitpaw-mobile> Hi
[16:49] <roblun> What can i download to scan an external NTFS drive for viruses?
[16:49] <Gentoo64> roblun, clamav?
[16:49] <Gentoo64> thats a linuxy one
[16:49] <wildc4rd> hplpb, I take it all back, separate X screens is annoying!
[16:50] <hplpb> ion_: try ctrl+alt+f2
[16:50] <roblun> thanks Gentoo64
[16:50] <Xeroz_> Hey, I can't run GUI on this box, and I want to add a firewall policy to ``firestarter'' does anyone know where it keeps the config file for that?
[16:50] <hplpb> wildc4rd: what problems did you have?
[16:51] <Gentoo64> Xeroz_, i think people will tell you firestarter is discontinued
[16:51] <Gentoo64> Xeroz_, why not use ufw?
[16:52] <sacarlson> Xeroz_: is there a real reason you need a firewall?  just close the apps that listen that you don't want
[16:52] <wildc4rd> hplpb, you can't run separate instances of firefox in the separate x servers, and killing the process in one kills it in both
[16:52] <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] <Gentoo64> sacarlson, firewall is good idea..
[16:52] <ion_> hplpb: why you said that ...
[16:52] <sacarlson> Gentoo64: good for what?
[16:52] <Gentoo64> Xeroz_, no idea about firestarter. try loooking in /etc
[16:52] <Xeroz_> sacarlson, it's blocking port 21; I'm trying to unblock it.
[16:52] <hplpb> ion_: ctrl+alt+f7 or f8
[16:53] <glebihan> wildc4rd, you can run separate instances if you use different profiles
[16:53] <sacarlson> Xeroz_: that's why you shouldn't run a firewall in the first place
[16:53] <wildc4rd> ahhh
[16:53] <Xeroz_> Gentoo64, perfect. There's lots of files in /etc/firestarter/ :) Thanks!
[16:53] <Gentoo64> ok
[16:54] <SIFTU> sacarlson: I will tell the auditors that and see if I get away with it
[16:54] <Xeroz_> sacarlson, I don't want EVERYONE to be able to connect to that port :) Only people I allow :)
[16:54] <ion_> hplpb: look normaly I would get in the terminal doing what I said before or through the menu but none of them gives my access to the terminal ...
[16:54] <Gentoo64> just ignore him
[16:54] <bonjoyee> how to make a ipfire like setup in ubuntu?
[16:54] <bonjoyee> firewall + url filtering + webgui ??
[16:55] <sacarlson> SIFTU: auditors? on a server?  if there is a reason for a firewall I can understand it but on a personal desktop there should be no need
[16:55] <Gentoo64> sacarlson, but you have no idea about peoples setups. saying "dont run a fiewall" is useless advice
[16:55] <SIFTU> sacarlson: well he said headless (or GUI less)
[16:56] <sacarlson> xeroz_: ok then that is a usefull purpuse for a firewall if you want to filter other system access but not all
[16:57] <Calinou> passwords/auth would be your friend then
[16:57] <sacarlson> Gentoo64: no I asked (11:52:06 PM) sacarlson: Xeroz_: is there a real reason you need a firewall?
[16:58] <Gentoo64> then said that's why you shouldn't run a firewall in the first place
[16:58] <Gentoo64> lol
[17:01] <nbubuntu> hi anyone can teach me how to remote connection with ubuntu 10.10 ? thanks
[17:01] <rhin0> vinagre nbubuntu
[17:01] <nbubuntu> i need setup guide ,
[17:01] <tim__> I asked this about 20 minutes ago but no answer... My screen resolution suddenly changed to 1024x768 and now everything is too big and spilling off the screen.  "Detect Monitors" does nothing and it won't let me change the screen resolution.  Any suggestions?
[17:01] <rhin0> remote desktop ... just "enable remote desktop" then just type vinagre hostname:0 from the client machine
[17:01] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: try ssh yourotheripaddressbox
[17:01] <rhin0> enabling remote desktop on the server
[17:02] <rhin0> if you want to control the desktop - otherwise yes ssh
[17:02] <nbubuntu> rhin0: in had installed it
[17:02] <rhin0> you don't have to install it
[17:03] <rhin0> tim you need the driver for your graphics card it's a graphics card problem or it could be a unity desktop problem??
[17:03] <rhin0> tim__
[17:03] <nbubuntu> rhin0: sorry I am just using ubuntu 10.10 , not the server edition
[17:03] <eros_> Can you not still connect a free yahoo mail account to Evolution or only the yahoo plus
[17:04] <rhin0> nbubuntu: it doesn't matter I am just referring ot the controlled machine as the server (for  the purpose of remote desktop) and the controlling machine as the client
[17:04] <rhin0> ssh just gives you a shell
[17:04] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: if you see both monitors of both system then quick synergy is cool
[17:05] <rhin0> I use x2x
[17:05] <nbubuntu> rhin0: sorry again , I forgot to mention I am using an androidvnc apps on android phone 2.3 to control ubuntu
[17:05] <hplpb> eros_: I think it's still yahoo plus, but there's a workaround by changing your account to yahoo asia
[17:05] <lada> com
[17:05] <nbubuntu> rhin0: can't seem to connect , ip = localhost and port 5900
[17:06] <f00f> tim__, is the monitor connected directly to card or do you have a switch of some type
[17:06] <rhin0> vinagre hostname:0
[17:07] <tim__> directly to the connector built into the motherboard
[17:07] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: I don't think localhost would be the correct ip to connect to your ubuntu from you phone
[17:07] <rhin0> nbubuntu: system > preferences > remote desktop & tick the box to allow access on the machine you want to control
[17:08] <rhin0> but not sure from a phone what the client would be .... i'll leave it at that ... not sure about vnc either
[17:08] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : I tried with ip 192.168.1.2 with no success
[17:08] <rhin0> mine is a simple setup
[17:08] <nbubuntu> rhin0: ticked already before connect
[17:09] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: is that the ip on the ubuntu box when you try ifconfig
[17:09] <f00f> tim__, are you able to use mouse to move your view to the edge of screen?
[17:09] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : yep
[17:10] <tim__> foof-  yes i can
[17:10] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : inet addr:192.168.1.2
[17:10] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: ok then that's the ip you should use on your phone client
[17:10] <eros_> Can any 1 confirm that they can still access a free yahoo mail account via evolution mail client ? I have a yahoo not the ymail
[17:10] <cr0wd> tim__= obama ??? ;)
[17:10] <davidgalandj> #mqm_viciosa
[17:10] <f00f> he has view portal.. hmm
[17:10] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : click on connect it said connection refuse
[17:11] <sacarlson> eros_: I havn't used email in some time but was it gmail that still had pop3 for free?
[17:11] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : how to check username too ?
[17:11] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: both local net?
[17:11] <tim__> f00f - what do you want me to do with the mouse on the edge of the screen?
[17:11] <f00f> tim__, is it a CRT monitor? if so what size
[17:12] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: I just use IP address on my local network
[17:12] <tim__> f00f - no it's a 21" lcd
[17:12] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : which both ?
[17:12] <f00f> do you have an xorg.conf?
[17:13] <tim__> f00f - what is that?
[17:13] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: both as being local net?  yes are they both on the same network?
[17:13] <f00f> i was hesitant to ask that...
[17:13] <triptec> what's the default python interpreter in 11.04?
[17:13] <triptec> I thought it was 2.7?
[17:13] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : yep , android was connected via wifi on lan 192.168.1.3
[17:13] <f00f> did you do an upgrade, what did you do before this happened
[17:14] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: ok then if it's not accepting connect verify the port is open on ubuntu netstat -pant
[17:14] <hplpb> eros_: yes, mine does work
[17:14] <tim__> f00f - I have no idea.  The system might have said that upgrades were available and I accepted it.
[17:14] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: I also assume no firewall installed
[17:15] <hplpb> using the yahoo asia workaround though
[17:15] <tim__> Should I try reloading one of the older profiles?
[17:15] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : ubuntu build in iptablets ?
[17:17] <f00f> tim__, all of my 'simple' suggestions have been exhausted...
[17:17] <f00f> lol
[17:17] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : only a few open port
[17:18] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: the default was all open
[17:18] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: oh for netstat?  do you see the vnc port active?
[17:19] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : firefox-bin , colock applets and xchat
[17:19] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: so vnc isn't running then
[17:20] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: did install one of the vnc or one was preinstalled before
[17:20] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : nope , i did'nt see any vnc name over it ,
[17:20] <dttys> hi
[17:21] <dttys> anyone knows a good tool to debug https on linux (like fiddler for windows) ?
[17:21] <dttys> thx!
[17:21] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : how should I enable vnc ?
[17:21] <dttys> already had a look at openssl, n it wasnt what i had in mind :P
[17:22] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: there are several options for vnc like x11vnc or the others maybe 2 more popular
[17:22] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : will try that
[17:23] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: before you try that I think there is a preinstalled version check system>preference>remotedestop
[17:23] <wildc4rd> is there a good network traffic monitor for ubuntu/gnome
[17:24] <sacarlson> wildc4rd: trafic?  how much detail you want like maybe wireshark?
[17:24] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : it really tick over it (Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address localhost.)
[17:25] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: well we know it's not active so try untick and tick it again
[17:26] <SIFTU> wildc4rd: iftop, iptraf
[17:26] <sacarlson> SIFTU: wildc4rd: ya I like iftop
[17:27] <wildc4rd> sacarlson/SIFTU just dling wireshark, will give it a bash first
[17:28] <SIFTU> wildc4rd: wireshark is a packet sniffer, the other commands are traffic summary tools
[17:28] <sacarlson> wildc4rd: wirshark is will can do just about anything but is overkill for most
[17:29] <dttys> wireshark aint very good for https :P
[17:29] <panfist> i want to learn more about customizing an ubuntu configuration and deploying it to many machines. i found some stuff about oem installation but i dont see that option in natty
[17:29] <sacarlson> dttys: to do what view inside https packets?
[17:30] <dttys> yup, decrypt the traffic
[17:30] <sacarlson> dttys: it still filters dns so you can see all the sites that your clients are looking at
[17:30] <panfist> do you have to hold a key or something while the natty iso is booting to see the boot menu or something?
[17:30] <dttys> but you can't see get/post etc
[17:31] <sacarlson> dttys: then you setup the "man in the middle attack" with no encryption most don't notice
[17:31] <dttys> i now, reading about it right now :P
[17:32] <dttys> *know
[17:32] <SIFTU> dttys: sslstrip
[17:32] <Tixos> unity > why?
[17:32] <dttys> in this case, i'm attacking myself, so i dont think that'll be necessary?
[17:33] <dttys> was thinking about using a silent proxy app
[17:33] <Tixos> must i double click the icon on the left bar to view other windows in the same application?
[17:33] <dttys> like charlie web proxy...
[17:33] <dttys> it's based on java, so it should compile on linux :P
[17:33] <sacarlson> dttys: appache2 has proxy builtin
[17:33]  * dttys crossed fingers
[17:33] <wildc4rd> sacarlson/SIFTU wireshark will be useful, iftop is perfect for my current needs though, thanks
[17:34] <thrillERboy> Hi, How do I recursively change permissions for /var/www/ ?
[17:35] <Tixos> -R
[17:35] <Tixos> or small -r
[17:35] <thrillERboy> chmod 777 /var/www -R ?
[17:35] <Tixos> chmod -R 777 /var/www
 dttys: appache2 has proxy builtin << i'm not using a server :P
[17:36] <thrillERboy> Thanks Tixos It did the trick
[17:36] <Tixos> np
[17:36] <sacarlson> dttys: I'm not sure what you want but apache runs on both the desktop or a server
[17:36] <dttys> i have ubuntu
[17:37] <dttys> n i'm learning ssl
[17:37] <sacarlson> dttys: I've setup many ssl servers on apaceh
[17:37] <dttys> i wanted to see what is being sent by some webserver to my client
[17:37] <sacarlson> apache
[17:37] <Bimmer84> anyone with a 3gs on 4.3.3 that can go PM for a few?  or recommend a better channel?
[17:38] <sacarlson> dttys: well that easy run a browser
[17:38] <dttys> so, the only way to make a man in the middle attack, would be to set a server in between?
[17:38] <andeeeuk_> hey everyone
[17:38] <andeeeuk_> does anyone know how to setup a network share on 11.04
[17:38] <dttys> k that was a stupid question
[17:38] <andeeeuk_> having probs connecting to it
[17:39] <sacarlson> dttys: yes that's what man-in-the-middle is you divert trafic to a different server
[17:39] <predator> irc://irc.OceanIRC.net/oce@n
[17:39] <dttys> the thing is, maybe i dont have to set up a new server
[17:39] <rhin0> andeeeuk_:  --- 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 firewall
[17:40] <rhin0> the howto is all you need client/server setup just as I described
[17:40] <sacarlson> dttys: that's a bit off topic I'll chat about that in pm
[17:40] <andeeeuk_> ok, how di i do that?
[17:40] <dttys> k
[17:40] <dttys> sry :P
[17:40] <andeeeuk_> could it be that I have a firewall on then?
[17:40] <rhin0> not by default on a new install
[17:40] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : 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 apps
[17:41] <rhin0> how far have you got andeeeuk_
[17:41] <andeeeuk_> I have installed a firewall to block all incoming
[17:41] <andeeeuk_> wondering if that was a prob
[17:41] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: well maybe try another real computer and see if that works,  but seems like the screen would be too small anyway
[17:41] <rhin0> if the server is firewalled it needs to allow the ip address of the client you are trying to connect
[17:41] <andeeeuk_> I have installed samba and setup a chare
[17:42] <rhin0> yes there will be a problem if it's blocking all incoming
[17:42] <andeeeuk_> share*
[17:42] <rhin0> I am not familiar with samba
[17:42] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : pinch zoom will do , just for testing , btw using 7 inch galaxy tab
[17:42] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: cool good luck
[17:42] <padhu> andeeeuk_: what is the problem?
[17:43] <splitpaw-mobile> !samba rhin0
[17:43] <rhin0> sudo ufw allow from <ip address> to any  <- how to allow access from an ip address to any port andeeeuk_
[17:43] <andeeeuk_> ok thanks
[17:43] <rhin0> if you are using ufw (unlimited firewall)
[17:43] <rhin0> which is pretty standard
[17:43] <andeeeuk_> I just cant connect to my workgroup now
[17:43] <jbwiv> guys, the sum of my directories on /home is around 15 GB. However, /home/.ecryptfs is using 162 GB at the moment. I can't figure out why...anyone have any ideas?
[17:43] <rhin0> sudo ufw status gives you what is allowed/disallowed andeeeuk_
[17:44] <andeeeuk_> installed samba at setup a share
[17:44] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: is this from window7?
[17:44] <andeeeuk_> i have set it up to accept everything
[17:44] <rhin0> l8r
[17:44] <andeeeuk_> no its between ubuntu machines
[17:45] <padhu> How can i use jetaudio basic on ubuntu 10.04?
[17:45] <Moshanator> andeeeuk, unblock in your firewall the following ports for samba:
[17:45] <padhu> is it work on wine ?
[17:45] <gui_kira> hi
[17:46] <andeeeuk_> firewall is disabled now
[17:46] <Moshanator> tcp 135,139,445 and udp 137,138
[17:47] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: if still have problems you should pastebin /etc/samba/smb.conf
[17:47] <andeeeuk_> ok thanks
[17:47] <andeeeuk_> will do
[17:48] <Moshanator> padhu, what version?
[17:48] <padhu> on Ubuntu 10.04
[17:48] <padhu> any verson of jet audio?
[17:49] <splitpaw-mobile> Hi there
[17:49] <remsSs03> hi everybody
[17:49] <andeeeuk_> http://pastebin.com/CVdU4rFJ
[17:49] <andeeeuk_> here is my pastebin for smb.conf
[17:49] <codingenesis> hi guys..
[17:49] <codingenesis> :)
[17:50] <Moshanator> padhu, yes, it should work with wine
[17:50] <pandote> hi
[17:50] <pandote> how can i open the port 6677 in the firewall
[17:50] <pandote> ?
[17:50] <remsSs03> Can we use samba to with seven clients ?
[17:50] <padhu> Moshanator: Are you tried before?
[17:51] <andeeeuk_> sacarlson can you have a look at my smb.conf
[17:51] <Polah> pandote: What do you need to open it for? If you have a service listening on 6677 it should be opened automatically.
[17:51] <andeeeuk_> i think it looks ok
[17:51] <padhu> pandote: Just use firestarter
[17:51] <pandote> to enter to a chat
[17:52] <ania> hi all
[17:52] <pandote> Welcome! You are now connect(ing/ed) to irc.solidirc.com. If you get "Could not connect: null", then you should make sure that you have the port 6667 open in your firewall/router and/or network!
[17:52] <pandote> this is the message
[17:52] <padhu> oh, I will try,...
[17:52] <Polah> pandote: outbound traffic shouldn't be restricted by default
[17:52] <Dazzled> hi, I was wondering if Unity had undergone changes since the release of 11.04
[17:52] <Moshanator> pandote,what firewall do you use
[17:52] <pandote> :(
[17:52] <pandote> i dont know
[17:52] <Dazzled> I switched to Classic, but was wondering if it had changed
[17:53] <predator> !list
[17:53] <predator> i m sorry!
[17:53] <andeeeuk_> if anyone could help setup network sharing it would be awesome
[17:53] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : same tried with other apps still the desktop screen doesn't update
[17:53] <andeeeuk_> have done it before, but recently come accress errors
[17:53] <Moshanator> dazzled, it has changed, but you'll only see it in oneiric
[17:54] <Dazzled> Moshanator, guess I'll keep on cruising using Classic then :)
[17:54] <vooze> How do i remove the function where when i put my mouse in left corner launcher displays? (i use dock insted of launcher) I used to have it on my old ubuntu install, but i cant remember how i did :/ any ideas ?
[17:55] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: I don't see available = Yes
[17:55] <sacarlson>   	browsable = Yes
[17:56] <andeeeuk_> sacarlson, will i need to add that as well
[17:56] <andeeeuk_> browsable = yes?
[17:56] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: maybe if you know where the file is you don't need to browse?
[17:57] <simpleblue> how can i get pythons idle to display my method and variable in realtime? is there a plugin i need?
[17:57] <Moshanator> vooze, your answer is somewhere in compiz config settings manager
[17:57] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: did you try with a real computer yet?
[17:58] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: I mean on the client side?
[17:58] <simpleblue> i would like idle to give me a list of possible functions and methods when i type something
[17:58] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : you mean from ubuntu to andorid ?
[17:58] <simpleblue> i had this working before in arch and forgot what i did
[17:58] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: like ubuntu to ubuntu or windows system to ubuntu?
[17:58] <andeeeuk_> sacarlson, I do want to make is browsable
[17:58] <andeeeuk_> where can I add that?
[17:59] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : I dont have extra computer to test right now
[17:59] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: you don't want to use like nautilus to view the files in the directory?
[18:00] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: well I'm not sure then I've used vnc before with no problem in ubuntu from both but never with an android
[18:00] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : the problem is I am able to connect , everything works , minimize open folder and etc but the real problem is the android side with doesn't update the screen , it stay the same as it connected
[18:01] <andeeeuk_> sacarlson, yeah I would like to use nautilus
[18:01] <trism> simpleblue: you can press tab and it will show you options
[18:01] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: well you won't see anything in nautilus without browsable set
[18:01] <AionArap> hello
[18:02] <andeeeuk_> sacarlson, ok well I have that for one of my directories and still not able to access it
[18:03] <AionArap> questiobn: how do i make a cronjob run as an unprivileged user without that user being logged in?
[18:03] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: what directory are you playing with ?
[18:03] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: you might want to try security = SHARE
[18:04] <andeeeuk_> sacarlson, I want to access my documents. I am unable to even access my WORKGROUP
[18:04] <jrib> AionArap: do nothing special
[18:04] <andeeeuk_> I have changed that to share
[18:04] <AionArap> umm, i've trid
[18:04] <andeeeuk_> is there a simple way to restart samba
[18:04] <AionArap> tried*
[18:04] <jrib> AionArap: be more specific.
[18:05] <AionArap> i've tried making a crontab -e file for the user, doesn't work....
[18:05] <lucidguy_> Look for a simply web site response check tool.  Nagios and Monit are overkill.  Recomendations?
[18:05] <AionArap> i have to log in for it to work....
[18:05] <jrib> AionArap: what do you mean by "making a crontab -e file for the user"?
[18:05] <lucidguy_> Wow, I forgot how to speak.
[18:06] <v0lksman> awn suddenly hates having an app behind it. I can't select any icons and no response to hovers etc...anyone else?
[18:06] <AionArap> i've tried a file in /etc/cron.d, same result...
[18:06] <jrib> AionArap: speak in commands
[18:06] <AionArap> by that i mean running crontab -e as that user
[18:06] <jrib> AionArap: and? what did you put in it?
[18:07] <AionArap> hold on
[18:07] <AionArap> */10 * * * *   /usr/local/bin/znc >/dev/null 2>&1
[18:08] <nicofs> I have my laptop connected to an external monitor. If i close the lid of my notebook, it goes blank - how can I deactivate that?
[18:08] <AionArap> trying to run a znc on boot and possible crash
[18:08] <andeeeuk_> how do you restart samba for changes to take effect?
[18:08] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: can't you just go into nautilus and pick a directory and right click and say share this one?
[18:08] <AionArap> ubuntu server 11.04 btw
[18:09] <jrib> AionArap: why would you run znc every 10 minutes?  In any case, why don't you try something like touching a file
[18:09] <andeeeuk_> sacarlson
[18:09] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: what?
[18:09] <andeeeuk_> i can creat a share directory
[18:09] <AionArap> it works as long as i'm logged in through ssh, but then i might as well run it manually
[18:09] <andeeeuk_> lol sorry
[18:10] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: if you right click you don't see share?
[18:10] <jrib> AionArap: are you using encrypted home directories...?
[18:10] <AionArap> in case it crashes? it's what's recommended on the znc wiki
[18:10] <glebaron> AionArap: what do you get when you type 'crontab -l'
[18:10] <ssargennto> Hello all, I'm using 11.10 and it keeps only offering me a partial upgrade...i saw a sticky on the forums that said to wait a bit and let update manager sort it it but its been 3 days and still only a partial upgrade. is there a better way to install updates right now in 11.10?
[18:10] <Pici> ssargennto : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[18:10] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: try just create a new dir make sure it's in a linux partition and select share in nautilus
[18:10] <AionArap> encrypted yes, hold on for output
[18:11] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: if you try to share a ntfs partition it gets much more complicated
[18:11] <andeeeuk_> just continues to say it "Failed to retrieve share list from server"
[18:11] <jrib> AionArap: well if znc needs access to your home directory, it won't have it unless you are logged in
[18:11] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: I mean on the server side system
[18:11] <Guest1120> heya, with creative X-FI cards is there any work towards drivers, also i've /heard/ that a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 can sound better than it, due to drivers (by work, i mean prehaps the crystaliser, or tone options as found in Alsamixer under the live
[18:12] <Moshanator> lucidguy, ping?
[18:12] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_: on the system that you plan to share create a new dir, make sure it's on a linux partition right click in nautilus can you see share?
[18:13] <jrib> AionArap: and this is unrelated to your issue, but it's probably cleaner to use @reboot instead of spawning znc every 10 minutes
[18:13] <panfist> is it possible to copy the gnome panels configuration from one user to another
[18:13] <Guest1120> heya, with creative X-FI cards is there any work towards drivers, also i've /heard/ that a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 can sound better than it, due to drivers (by work, i mean prehaps the crystaliser, or tone options as found in Alsamixer under the live
[18:14] <AionArap> i'm doing both actually
[18:14] <AionArap> # Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
[18:14] <AionArap> #
[18:14] <AionArap> # Each task to run has to be defined through a single line

[18:14] <FloodBot1> AionArap: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:14] <AionArap> # and what command to run for the task
[18:14] <andeeeuk_> it is quite shocking concidering it should be simple
[18:14] <andeeeuk_> :
[18:14] <andeeeuk_> :s
[18:15] <sacarlson> andeeeuk_:  did that answer any of my questions?
[18:15] <Guest1120> heya, with creative X-FI cards is there any work towards drivers, also i've /heard/ that a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 can sound better than it, due to drivers (by work, i mean prehaps the crystaliser, or tone options as found in Alsamixer under the live

[18:15] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : thanks will try again tomorrow , thank you for your help :D
[18:16] <sacarlson> nbubuntu: ok good luck
[18:16] <jrib> AionArap: that's fine, did you see what I said about access to your home?
[18:16] <AionArap> yes i said it's encrypted
[18:16] <nbubuntu> sacarlson : thanks :-)
[18:16] <Guest1120> heya, with creative X-FI cards is there any work towards drivers, also i've /heard/ that a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 can sound better than it, due to drivers (by work, i mean prehaps the crystaliser, or tone options as found in Alsamixer under the live
[18:17] <jrib> AionArap: no, I said that znc will not have access to your home.  It probably needs it.  So either do not have an encrypted home or give znc some other space to work
[18:17] <AionArap> is that my problem?
[18:17] <AionArap> oh i see
[18:17] <jrib> AionArap: if you check for mail from cron (or just redirect the output of znc to some file instead of /dev/null), it may shed further light
[18:17] <Guest1120> -.-
[18:17] <jrib> more?
[18:18] <AionArap> right, i'll do that, thanks for helping :)
[18:18] <v0lksman> how do you tell what repo a package came from?
[18:19] <jrib> v0lksman: you don't but maybe « apt-cache policy PACKAGE » is sufficient for you?
[18:19] <AionArap> one more thing though, how do i disable the homedir encryption after install?
[18:19] <Guest1120> heya, with creative X-FI cards is there any work towards drivers, also i've /heard/ that a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 can sound better than it, due to drivers (by work, i mean prehaps the crystaliser, or tone options as found in Alsamixer under the live

[18:20] <AionArap> oh , thanks :P
[18:21] <Guest1120> you guys are normally so helpful :/
[18:22] <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
[18:22] <Guest1120> heya, with creative X-FI cards is there any work towards drivers, also i've /heard/ that a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 can sound better than it, due to drivers (by work, i mean prehaps the crystaliser, or tone options as found in Alsamixer under the live
[18:23] <andeeeuk_> is there a good guide that i can go through to setup samba all over again
[18:23] <Moshanator> guest1120, i think nobody is answerng because nobody knows. What are the odds that out of 20 people reading this, anyone has the same soundcard as you
[18:23] <Guest1120> most people have a creative something
[18:23] <Guest1120> its probably either a Live an Audigy, or a X-FI
[18:24] <jrib> !samba | andeeeuk_
[18:25] <eros_> How would one start unity ?
[18:25] <Moshanator> really? imho, most people dont even have one, its integrated
[18:25] <slinzex1> Hi, I've problem with wifi in ubuntu. Some error install caused the network manager to disappear. I connect via wifi always. How to connect? When I try iwconfig eth1 X0390342940 it says error 8BA... ... help please
[18:25] <Guest1120> i pitty the souls who put up with the a-97' audio :/
[18:25] <Moshanator> eros, just login
[18:25] <splitpaw-mobile> !soundcard Guest1120
[18:26] <Guest1120> i've read the docs don't worry
[18:26] <Guest1120> it's more a question of, could a live sound worse then an x-fi due to drivers?
[18:26] <Guest1120> or is it my mind, like the placebo effect
[18:26] <X-tonic> eros_, unity shell which opens on pressing the super key now no longer comes
[18:26] <eros_> hmmm well I am running 11.04 and the first time I signed in it said something about my hardware wasent good enough to run it  which i doubt but now it doesent start
[18:27] <Moshanator> guest1120, you could try asking a friend if he hears a difference
[18:28] <X-tonic> eros_, just install the proper video card driver ands you should be fine
[18:28] <Guest1120> Moshanator, i have no friends
[18:28] <splitpaw-mobile> Guest1120 httpo
[18:28] <Guest1120> httpo?
[18:28] <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???

[18:33] <JoKer__> thank you:)
[18:33] <Pici> glebaron: You may want to ask in #ubuntu-server, #ubuntu tends to be more desktop oriented.

[18:33] <glebaron> Thanks. Looked for that channel and did not see it listed.
[18:34] <agentgasmask> Hi all. In ubuntu 10.04 is there a /etc/initd.conf? If it isn't on my system, can I create one? Or is there something that took it's place?
[18:35] <jamescarr> hey how can I get add-apt-repository  installed?
[18:35] <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?
[18:35] <jamescarr> some instructions tell me to use add-apt-repository  but I dont have that app
[18:35] <andeeeuk_> has anyone here got samba working on their machine :)
[18:36] <alex--> yes, me Andreeuk

[18:36] <slinzex1> Hi, I've problem with wifi in ubuntu. Some error install caused the network manager to disappear. I connect via wifi always. How to connect? When I try iwconfig eth1 X0390342940 it says error 8BA... ... help please. I also have WICD installed. But when I open it, connect to some AP , all ok. But still have no internet...
[18:37] <alex--> andeeeuk_: you mean server or client?
[18:37] <andeeeuk_> alex-- i just want to share files on my network between 2 ubuntu machines
[18:37] <alex--> 2 ubuntu machines can do without samba
[18:37] <andeeeuk_> both running 11.04
[18:38] <alex--> samba is designed for unix <--> windows shares
[18:38] <andeeeuk_> yeah, I thought I could
[18:38] <alex--> I dont know how to share with ubuntu. Try looking it up on google
[18:38] <iszak> andeeeuk_, use rsync?
[18:38] <iszak> andeeeuk_, or drop box?
[18:38] <andeeeuk_> i would like the possibility to share with windows as well
[18:39] <iszak> then samba it is.
[18:39] <andeeeuk_> yeah
[18:39] <rfc1337> documents on linking that give a nice summary of things like /usr/lib and where documents go what extensions mean... how to link them and extra details???
[18:40] <andeeeuk_> alex-- would it not be the same samba setup for the machines either windows or ubuntu
[18:40] <mcop> hai
[18:40] <alex--> No
[18:40] <andeeeuk_> i feel like a real noob and tbh this should be simple
[18:41] <mcop> how to setup back track under ubuntu 11.04
[18:41] <iszak> andeeeuk_, what about drop box?
[18:41] <alex--> iszak: no
[18:41] <iszak> it's a valid solution.
[18:41] <oCean> mcop: backtrack is a ubuntu derivative we don't support. Try #backtrack-linux
[18:42] <alex--> mcop: backtrack is a linux distribution
[18:42] <Pici> !fhs | rfc1337
[18:42] <X-tonic> yes, dropbox is pretty much purpose serving.
[18:42] <andeeeuk_> I dont really want to use dropbox and you have a storage limit and with a share there is no limit
[18:42] <Pici> !samba
[18:42] <andeeeuk_> just share over network
[18:42] <iszak> time to go out

[18:44] <Bisu[Shield]> what is a good svn tool that integrates with gnome3??
[18:44] <slinzex1> please someone try to help to my question I wrote above
[18:44] <mcop> oCean how to install back track ni ubuntu
[18:45] <Pici> mcop: backtrack is a distro, not a set of programs.
[18:45] <X-tonic> attj, AFAIK in recovery mode, it is a single user mode. So a login screen for multiple login doesnt fit in there.
[18:45] <andeeeuk_> alex-- samba can share between all systems windows, linux and osx
[18:45] <alex--> true
[18:45] <mcop> tq Pici
[18:46] <andeeeuk_> alex-- was there a guide you used to set yours up?
[18:46] <attj> X-tonic, sorry but didn't understand now
[18:46] <Pici> andeeeuk_: You may have missed this....
[18:46] <Pici> !samba | andeeeuk_
[18:48] <andeeeuk_> Pici, I have gone through that
[18:48] <Bisu[Shield]> am I invisible?
[18:48] <attj> X-tonic, i meant if there a way to set login screen appears everytime i start ubuntu. So i could do that set up in recovery somehow?
[18:48] <andeeeuk_> will go though again

[18:52] <paradaise> who is a Russian?
[18:52] <mcop> how to install utorrant in ubuntu
[18:52] <BarkingFish> quizme, I assume you edited it as root.  Go back to whatever program you used to edit the file, and remove the error, then save the file.
[18:53] <X-tonic> ksinkar, you will need to manually install php5,a nd apache based on your needs, unless if your installer provided you with an alternative option.
[18:53] <urlin2u> Bisu[Shield], if your using 11.10 #ubuntu+1 is your place
[18:53] <Bisu[Shield]> oh sorry :)
[18:53] <Bisu[Shield]> 11.4
[18:54] <urlin2u> Bisu[Shield], no many using gnome3 in natty, it is noadvised, so the help may be sparse if any.
[18:54] <urlin2u> not*

[19:27] <DrkCodeman> try this chown www-data:www-data .htaccess
[19:27] <designbybeck> 'chown www-data .htaccess
[19:27] <DrkCodeman> you need user / group

[19:39] <Kaki> but i dont know where there is a log where ubuntu tells me whats the problem
[19:39] <Kaki> i suggest that ubuntu cant handle the ocz revodrive correctly
[19:39] <Kaki> but thats nothing but a suggestion
[19:39] <justyna> what is the command to run pen drive ubuntu instllation??
[19:40] <mop> kaki : :Manually Edit the Partition Table
[19:40] <mop> If, for any reason, you find that Ubuntu’s default partitioning choices are not for you, you
[19:40] <mop> can opt to manually edit the partition table. There are essentially two stages to work through
[19:40] <mop> if you choose this option:
[19:40] <mop> • You’re given the chance to repartition the disk manually. You can resize or delete
[19:40] <mop> any existing partitions and create the partitions Ubuntu needs.
[19:40] <FloodBot1> mop: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:40] <Kaki> mop: it doesnt shows me the partitioning screen, the installer freezes earlier
[19:40] <Moshanator> kaki, you could try running the installer from a terminal, that way error messages would be caught
[19:41] <Kaki> and redirect them with > to a file on my hdd?
[19:41] <littlewing_> hello
[19:41] <Kaki> is that save when my operating crashes?
[19:41] <designbybeck> LOL.... STUPID TYPOS!

[19:48] <linxeh> justyna: unetbootin is a program for linux and windows that will create an install USB stick from an ISO image. It will also download the ISO image for you
[19:49] <linxeh> justyna: once you have a bootable USB stick, you can tell your computer to boot from USB stick and install
[19:49] <linxeh> justyna: assuming your computer is new enough to support USB booting
[19:49] <justyna> linxeh: ok, so do i download it and put it on the stick?
[19:49] <nCrazed> linxeh doesn't live cd come with boot disk creator?
[19:49] <justyna> linxeh: its a newly wiped laptop
[19:49] <linxeh> nCrazed: what if you dont have a cdrom drive ?
[19:50] <Jagajugue> justyna: no, you got to put it in the pendrive  using the netbootin program
[19:50] <linxeh> justyna: you download unetbootin and run it on windows (or linux)
[19:51] <MACscr> can someone with a natty system go to preferences, then passwords, and confirm they can actually export them? Would be cool to know what format they are in as well. Thanks!
[19:51] <justyna> linxeh: i have two laptops atm, this (windows) works, the other (ubuntu) is stuck on boot... i downloaded live cd on pendrive using windows, do i download from the link and install on windows, then copy to usb and insert to Linux??

[19:51] <strawberry> Hello. I have a question: Some time ago when I plugged in my headset, the sound came out of the headset and the speaker at the same time. I could fix it by updating the driver. Today I downloaded some ubuntu updates and now I have the same problem again. Can you help me to fix it?
[19:52] <linxeh> justyna: on the windows laptop download unetbootin and run it
[19:53] <linxeh> justyna: unetbootin will then download the ubuntu iso, or you can tell it to use a previously downloaded iso. it will then copy the iso to the usb stick in the correct way so it can boot
[19:53] <Owner> hey
[19:53] <mop> justyna :when you start your pc enter  the esc or F1 or F8 choose the boot froom usb
[19:53] <linxeh> justyna: you can't just copy the iso to the usb stick, it has to be done in a special way. unetbootin does this for you

[19:54] <DrkCodeman> what is the best desktop manager preffered by the masses im not a big fan of the latest search integrated in the latest ubuntu gnome
[19:55] <linxeh> DrkCodeman: most people run gnome, kde, or xfce
[19:55] <linxeh> DrkCodeman: all of them suck in some way, all of them have decent points too
[19:56] <DrkCodeman> there was a popular one called something box i think
[19:56] <JamezQ> DrkCodeman: Most people use Gnome 3, or Unity, or xfce it seems nowadays.
[19:56] <JamezQ> openbox
[19:56] <linxeh> DrkCodeman: fluxbox etc - various ones
[19:56] <JamezQ> or fluxbox
[19:56] <DrkCodeman> yeah fluxbox
[19:57] <DrkCodeman> is that still around?
[19:57] <JamezQ> crunchbang uses it.
[19:57] <JamezQ> it is very snappy.
[19:57] <linxeh> before gnome I used CDE and OLVWM, and OLWM before that
[19:57] <splitpaw-mobile> I s open box
[19:57] <DrkCodeman> isnt openbox dependant on gnome?
[19:58] <Cyanure> Hi, I seem to have a javascript problem on my computer. (the problem is both on ff and chrome) There is a lot of links begining with 'javascript:' which doesn't work. It worked before and I don't know what I changed.
[19:58] <JamezQ> DrkCodeman: I don't think so, though like xfce it might use the gtk
[19:58] <DrkCodeman> ;/
[19:58] <DrkCodeman> yeah ill probaly install fluxbox with the latest version of ubuntu
[19:59] <DrkCodeman> or debian

[20:15] <Gallefray> need help, my problem is:
[20:15] <JamezQ> well?
[20:15] <Gallefray> Yesterday i decided to get ubuntu on my computer(just to see what it's like), i have a 11.04 live cd. I installed ubuntu to the other partition booted up, got grub console on boot :/ ,rather than a graphical menu and just the grub console working in the backround. So i un-installed ubuntu thinking that would work, and got mint on there booted up, still grub console, no graphical interfaces. I booted up from my partition wizard CD and cl
[20:15] <Gallefray> icked on rebuild MBR booted up fine, no menu just booted win up but i was okay with that, thought that a new install of trisquel on the mint partition would solve it and it did, i now have a graphical boot-up with a un-needed trisquel partition :D. The problem is, i still want to get ubuntu on my pc.
[20:15] <Gallefray> :/
[20:16] <gandhijee_> sweetandy: i already have libstdc++6-4.4-dev installed...
[20:16] <darthtone> hello
[20:16] <darthtone> can anyone help me with a wine questoin? or is their a wine irc?
[20:16] <sven_oostenbrink> I'm trying to use ssh -D on my localhost in order to have a secure local proxy.. This always worked on 10.10, but now I upgraded to 11.04, and suddenly I get (in chromium) No Data Sent (err 324), Firefox just shows a blank page... Anybody who might know whats up with this?
[20:17] <Jordan_U> Gallefray: OK. What version of Ubuntu did you try to install?
[20:17] <Gallefray> 11.04
[20:17] <X-tonic> gandhijee, is your nick inspired by anna hazare?
[20:17] <EgyParadox> Gallefray: Ubuntu is no longer installed am right?
[20:17] <mop> kaki : try to install back by user usb u can try like the instaal ubuntu file to you usb
[20:17] <BarkingFish> darthtone, try #winehq
[20:17] <Gallefray> yes, you are correct :D
[20:17] <glebihan> darthtone, there is #winehq
[20:17] <BarkingFish> that's wine's end user channel

[20:17] <darthtone> ok ty
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> darthtone: can ask in here too
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> darthtone: I assume you checked the appdb..?
[20:18] <mop> kaki:when you start your pc enter  the esc or F1 or F8 choose the boot froom usb

[20:18] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, u setup a socks proxy on, lets say, 8888 port and when u setup your browser to use it, it doesn't work?
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | darthtone
[20:18] <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] <EgyParadox> Gallefray: I think Ubuntu will recognize other OSes if u install it again
[20:19] <Jordan_U> Gallefray: When you saw a grub shell, did it have a "grub>" prompt or a "rescue>" prompt?
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> darthtone: in short, not all apps work. The appdb often has guides but will say wether or not the app will work
[20:19] <Gallefray> grub>
[20:19] <one_ttl> I have eth0 configuration in the interfaces file, however it doesn't apply after a reboot.  If I issue a ifup eth0 the config takes effect

[20:20] <one_ttl> any ideas what i might be missing?
[20:20] <X-tonic> ActionParsnip, i already did. But #compiz isnt too active. :(
[20:20] <ubuntu_> what are you talking about?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> mop: 32bit isn't much good with LOTS of Ram
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> X-tonic: dang

[20:21] <mop> kaki:click show me how
[20:21] <_riz_> i'm supposed to use 'update-grub2' after editing stuff in /etc/grub.d/*, right?
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> _riz_: yes
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> _riz_: it will need prefixing with sudo
[20:21] <Moshanator> x-tonic, try reinstalling metacity and see if the window title bars come back
[20:21] <_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 is
[20:22] <mop> kaki: now you can install ubuntu in you com
[20:22] <_riz_> from what I can tell, to add more stuff to the menu, i'm supposed to edit 40_custom
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> _riz_: it solves a lot of shortcomings from grub, it's just a little more complex to setup
[20:22] <_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 disk
[20:23] <agentgasmask> Hi 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] <Gallefray> how would i
[20:23] <Gallefray> ^^^^ oops
[20:23] <_riz_> and when I kill that (it says it found the os that's on it) , grub-probe hangs
[20:23] <Gallefray> how do i boot up ubuntu from grub anyway?
[20:23] <_riz_> Polah: I count at least 4 different bootloaders on two disks already.  :/
[20:24] <Gallefray> hang on :/
[20:24] <_riz_> of course every damn one wants to be the "main" one
[20:24] <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.d
[20:24] <_riz_> but only grub2 has the audacity to require an entire config-build system
[20:25] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: I did ssh -D 9999 myserver and in both browser, set proxy to localhost port 9999, chrome gives err 324, firefox just a blank page
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> _riz_: if you look at what grub2 can actually do, you would see why it's good
[20:26] <Jordan_U> _riz_: You don't need to use update-grub to use grub2. If you want to disable update-grub and write your grub.cfg by hand you are free to do so, you will just need to keep it up to date yourself.
[20:26] <Gallefray> back
[20:26] <_riz_> oh, I see some of the stuff it can do.  given how often it breaks, it's waaay too complicated, and most of what it accomplishes could be done other ways
[20:26] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: Googled the damn thing, can find something about a known problem in chrome with proxies, but seems not relevant, plus FF has similar problems..
[20:26] <_riz_> ok enough venting
[20:26] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, when dis problem started to happened?
[20:26] <xiaoy> *did
[20:26] <Polah> _riz_: I've never had GRUB break on me. If you're misconfiguring it then it may break.
[20:26] <Gallefray> oh wait found
[20:27] <xiaoy> *to happen
[20:27] <DrkCodeman> wubi is a virtualized filesystem right?
[20:27] <splitpaw-mobile> !grub polah
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: it uses a file in (crappy) ntfs as the NTFS drive, the hardware is accessed natively though
[20:28] <andeeeuk_> samba is rubbish everyone
[20:28] <Gallefray> rrriiiiggggghhhhhttttt
[20:28] <Polah> DrkCodeman: WUBI installs an image of Ubuntu in a Windows filesystem
[20:29] <andeeeuk_> cant even connect to a network :)
[20:29] <andeeeuk_> love it!!#
[20:29] <Polah> andeeeuk_: That's because something is wrong on your end.
[20:29] <Gallefray> ok, does ubuntu have a irc chat?
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: never had an issue with it
[20:29] <DrkCodeman> Polah: yeah aka not native
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: this is it
[20:29] <andeeeuk_> Lol yeah
[20:29] <Jordan_U> DrkCodeman: I wouldn't use the term vitualized. It's an ext4 filesystem contained within a file in your NTFS partition. It's loop mounted.
[20:29] <Polah> drkCodeman: It's not a proper install, but it's not really virtualised.
[20:29] <Gallefray> ???
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: the file is formatted to Ext4 but is still susceptible to the shortcomings of NTFS
[20:30] <andeeeuk_> Polah, when you set it up you can test it by connecting to your own network right?
[20:30] <mop> drkcodeman :Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install
[20:30] <mop> and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way
[20:30] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, post the output of ssh -vv youruser@localhost
[20:30] <Polah> Gallefray: Empathy which is installed by default allows connection to IRC, but there's other clients like xchat
[20:30] <DrkCodeman> yeah wubi would be slower then a direct install after doing partition magic
[20:30] <Gallefray> ahhhh what if i can't acsess the internet off ubuntu
[20:30] <DrkCodeman> and installing on a clean partitino
[20:30] <DrkCodeman> *partition
[20:31] <Gallefray> ??? it ahs happened before on linux mint
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: then you will need to set it up
[20:31] <Gallefray> i know thaaattttt
[20:31] <andeeeuk_> I go to Entire Network > Windows Network
[20:31] <andeeeuk_> all go in fine
[20:31] <Dog_Matix> DrkCodeman: fractionally slower, yes.
[20:31] <Polah> andeeeuk_: Set it up, set up sharing on the system running it and then attempt to connect to that share from another computer
[20:31] <Gallefray> but on mint i get a message "firmware missing"
[20:32] <andeeeuk_> when i click WORKGROUP it fails
[20:32] <andeeeuk_> Polah, thats exactly what i have been trying to do
[20:32] <andeeeuk_> :s
[20:32] <mop> drkcodeman :  because if you are not already a Linux user, you will need WUBI
[20:32] <mop> to easily allow you to “play” with Ubuntu without disturbing your Windows installation
[20:32] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: You mean ssh -vv user@myserver?
[20:33] <Jordan_U> Gallefray: Can you temporarily connect via ethernet rather than wireless?
[20:33] <Polah> andeeeuk_: set up the share and in Windows explorer try to connect to \\<ip>\<share name>
[20:33] <DrkCodeman> mop ive used linux for years :P
[20:33] <andeeeuk_> Polah, I am using ubuntu to ubuntu
[20:33] <Polah> mop: Making a small ~10GB partition for Ubuntu isn't that disturbing to Windows
[20:33] <Gallefray> ethernet
[20:33] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, no i mean your host to see the output
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: sounds like you are using broadcom wifi... Is that right?
[20:33] <DrkCodeman> mop i dont need wubi or virtualize a filesystem if i create a sepprate partition for a direct installation
[20:33] <Gallefray> ?
[20:33] <Gallefray> i have noooo idea O.o
[20:33] <andeeeuk_> thought i could connect easily through nautilus
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: are you using wired or wireless?
[20:33] <Gallefray> wireless
[20:34] <qin> sven_oostenbrink:  ssh -C -D 1080 server_ip -p 22 and set socks proxy to 127.0.0.1 post 1080.
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: ok run: sudo lshw -C network    it will tell you the wireless chip (look at the prodcut line)
[20:34] <antivirtel> I'm looking for a little information about perlre: if I use this: lsb_release -sd | sed -e 's/ /%20/' Only the first SPACE occurence will be replaced, how can I replace all occurrences?
[20:34] <Polah> andeeeuk_: If you're connecting to nautilus going to network it should display other computers available
[20:34] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, also you should check what /var/log/auth.log file says
[20:34] <Gallefray> can't through wired, parents would kill me :D
[20:34] <mop> DrkCodeman :not to long
[20:34] <Gallefray> ^^^ metaphorically
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: why, its the easiest way to make stuff work. Why will they kill you?
[20:35] <andeeeuk_> Polah, yeah thats what i thought. When I click workgroup it says it cant connect to list
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: if you run:  smbtree    do you see the shares
[20:35] <Gallefray> they would not kill me :D
[20:35] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: http://pastebin.com/P0PBqgiD
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: I was speaking metaphorically too
[20:35] <Gallefray> but through wired it's a dial-up
[20:35] <Gallefray> :D
[20:35] <Polah> andeeeuk_: Don't go to workgroup, it should just display other available computers. You could try going to File > Connect to server...
[20:36] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: When I ssh -D 9999 myserver, I get in normally
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: get connected using ethernet to something so you get a web link then get full updates.
[20:36] <sven_oostenbrink> qin: chekcing what -C does
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> Gallefray: did you run the command yet?
[20:36] <andeeeuk_> smbtree actually failed
[20:36] <Gallefray> no
[20:36] <antivirtel> I'm looking for a little information about perlre: if I use this: lsb_release -sd | sed -e 's/ /%20/' Only the first SPACE occurence will be replaced, how can I replace all occurrences of that SPACE? I really hate regexp

[20:38] <Gallefray> *anymore*
[20:38] <sven_oostenbrink> qin: Yeah, found it.. Anyway, This is exactly what I do.. well, minus the -C, and I use another port.. Let me try port 1080, maybe that makes the difference..
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: ok if you run smbtree on the server side, does it show its own shares?
[20:38] <antivirtel> !offtopic > MISIONERO30
[20:39] <Gallefray> yes, my wifi is broadcom
[20:39] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: Well yeah, it worked before, no problem.. My laptop has no firewall, company FW has not changed (and even if it did, SSH works just fine)
[20:39] <szal> antivirtel: pretty pointless for someone who has already left
[20:39] <andeeeuk_> thats what i tried and it does not
[20:39] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: Problem then is, why is it not working on Chrome, and not on firefox either?
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: then your samba setup is not right
[20:39] <andeeeuk_> thought as much
[20:39] <darthtone> can anyone help me install ATI drivers, iv downloaded the .run  but cant figure out how to run
[20:40] <darthtone> i ran the file in term and nothing happned just new line.
[20:40] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, have you tried another browser?
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> !ati | darthtone
[20:40] <andeeeuk_> can one of you guys look at my smb.conf?
[20:40] <sven_oostenbrink> I can try rekonq...
[20:41] <Gallefray> ActionParsnip: yes my wifi is broadcom
[20:41] <Beret> anyone know of a keyboard shortcut to make a window sticky across all workspaces
[20:41] <andeeeuk_> would help a lot
[20:42] <andeeeuk_> here is my pastebin if you can look to see if there are issues
[20:42] <StaticPhilly> evening all, anyone know what would case choppy fps when playing video full screen (using catalyst)
[20:42] <andeeeuk_> http://pastebin.com/TU0a3AUM
[20:42] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: tried rekonq, does nothing either..
[20:42] <StaticPhilly> by choppy i mean none constant
[20:43] <Gallefray> ActionParsnip: I am going offline to start install now
[20:44] <DrkCodeman> if i were to use wubi i wonder if i can install fluxbox on top of it
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: as you have shared a file in home, you may want to run:  sudo smbpasswd -a andeeeuk    to set a samba password so you can authenticate
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: sure, its just like a regular install
[20:44] <Jordan_U> DrkCodeman: You can. A wubi install can do almost anything that a normal install can.
[20:44] <DrkCodeman> can i install bigger than 30GB?
[20:45] <DrkCodeman> i have a 2TB drive
[20:45] <Polah> DrkCodeman: At that point it makes much more sense to make a proper partition
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: here's mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677466/
[20:45] <andeeeuk_> ok, I have done that
[20:45] <andeeeuk_> thanks
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: ok now when you connect you will be challenged and you can enter the credentials you just set
[20:46] <DrkCodeman> 10.10 wubi only shows 30GB as the biggest i can partition to
[20:46] <mop> polah: to my 10 gb is nat good u must have more 50gb for get the best
[20:46] <andeeeuk_> ok excellent
[20:46] <andeeeuk_> thanks
[20:46] <Jerub> i've got an ubuntu hardy machine running remotely (linode), and i'd like to upgrade it to a more recent release of ubuntu. Does anyone have any advice for the best way to upgrade a machine like this?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: all ok now?
[20:46] <andeeeuk_> will a reboot of samba work now?
[20:46] <szal> !eol | Jerub
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: should work right away
[20:46] <Dog_Matix> DrkCodeman: I would consider a parition for a ubuntu install. Why not?
[20:47] <dr_willis> Jerub,  whats linode?
[20:47] <Polah> mop: 50GB for an ubuntu install? I barely use 4GB on my system drive.
[20:47] <Polah> dr_willis: VPS hosts
[20:47] <andeeeuk_> ok ill give it a go
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> szal: hardy server is still supported
[20:47] <dr_willis> Polah,  I must have 59gb in just wallpaper. :)
[20:47] <EgyParadox> Drkodeman: wubi or grub has nothing to do to installing fluxbox as far as I know, fluxbox is a window manager
[20:47] <Polah> dr_willis: Well, if that were me I'd have that on my secondary data drive. My Ubuntu install is on it's own drive and is only 4GB (:
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | Jerub you can upgrade direct to Lucid ;)
[20:48] <andeeeuk_> it still fails to connect :s
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: but are you asked for the credential?
[20:49] <andeeeuk_> not at all
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: is the samba service even running on the server side?
[20:49] <andeeeuk_> i think so yeah
[20:49] <mop> tq bye bye
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: i'd check
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> andeeeuk_: could reboot the server, just to be double sure
[20:50] <abourget> ok, found my solution: tasksel
[20:51] <andeeeuk_> I have installed it on the machine i am on now
[20:52] <andeeeuk_> samba is already running on my machine
[20:53] <andeeeuk_> i have rebooted the samba service
[20:53] <andeeeuk_> I can connect to other windows machines
[20:54] <andeeeuk_> i cant actually
[20:54] <andeeeuk_> do you have any other ideas
[20:56] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, still there?
[20:56] <xiaoy> sorry i was away for a bunch of minutes
[20:56] <andeeeuk_> this is really taking the Beeep now
[20:57] <Polah> andeeeuk_, did you reboot the system providing the shares?
[20:57] <andeeeuk_> samba is a pile of ..... should be simple keeps saying it "Failed to retrieve share list from server"
[20:57] <andeeeuk_> yeah it is all rebooted
[20:58] <andeeeuk_> the thing is, you should be able to access your own shares but cant even  do that
[20:58] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: Im still here, no problem..
[20:58] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: still trying to figure out what is the problem.. everything looks okay.. just like before..
[20:59] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: minor detail: its another laptop, by the way.. Not a reinstall on the same laptop, but that just can't be the problem..
[20:59] <andeeeuk_> smbtree just says this
[20:59] <andeeeuk_> 'client plaintext auth' is disabled
[21:00] <Ubulindy> problem with Maverick 64 bit up and running OS all of a sudden get page b4 boot "system configuration" can not move off of Bulgaria
[21:00] <eedavid> hi, I am having trouble mounting a windows file share, is there someone who can help me?
[21:01] <Ubulindy> says please chose a language and this is on an already installed Ubuntu been using it
[21:01] <majuk> eedavid, Not how to ask. State what you did and what problem you ran into. Someone will assist if they can.
[21:01] <eedavid> thanks
[21:02] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, at your place i would try using tsocks, maybe with lynx, to check in a terminal if it works
[21:02] <andeeeuk_> any more assistance on the amazing samba?
[21:03] <eedavid> i have done su, mkdir -p /mnt/licensed.dist, mount -t smbfs -o username=PRINCETON\\<netID> //files.princeton.edu/Licensed /mnt/licensed.dist where <netid> is my netid
[21:03] <eedavid> but it doesn't mount
[21:03] <xiaoy> edit /etc/tsocks.conf to set the right port
[21:03] <scooby> can anyone help me with audio problems in ubuntu 11.04?
[21:04] <Ubulindy> anyone help with an installed ubuntu maverick and before booting it went to sys config page? wont move to english period! this OS is installed not installing it
[21:04] <majuk> !ask
[21:04] <xiaoy> then $tsocks lynx http://www.ip-adress.com/ to check your ip
[21:04] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: Well, I need the proxy to use encryption, which is the reason why Im using it in the first place
[21:05] <scooby> i want to control my volume with my keyboard but the master does nothing to pcm level
[21:05] <scooby>  no suggestions?
[21:06] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, yes try the method i said and see if it works, if you get your server ip instead of yours
[21:06] <scooby> im gonna park for a few in hope of help!  feel free to pm me anyone who might know.
[21:06] <scooby> thanks
[21:07] <andeeeuk_> does anyone know how to reset samba to default options
[21:07] <andeeeuk_> or setup
[21:07] <eedavid>  i have done su, mkdir -p /mnt/licensed.dist, mount -t smbfs -o username=PRINCETON\\<netID> //files.princeton.edu/Licensed /mnt/licensed.dist where <netid> is my netid, it returns the mount usage and the return code is 1, and the mount didn't work.
[21:09] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: installing
[21:10] <Ubulindy> Went to boot into Maverick and it went to system config page asking for defualt language and can not tab, use up/down, nothing
[21:10] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: much, MUCH of this: 16:09:43 libtsocks(23843): Error 114 attempting to connect to SOCKS server (Operation already in progress)
[21:11] <scooby> i want to control my volume with my keyboard but the master does nothing to pcm level
[21:11] <scooby> im gonna park for a few in hope of help!  feel free to pm me anyone who might know.
[21:11] <andeeeuk_> im guessing there are no default settings for samba?
[21:12] <EgyParadox> !ask
[21:12] <ghostnik11> if you get banned from a channel is there a way to unban your self
[21:12] <qin> scooby:  amixer set PCM 0%
[21:13] <ghostnik11> better yet, say you want to private message someone who is on freenode how would u do that?
[21:13] <andeeeuk_> is there a way to reset settings to default with samba?
[21:13] <christof> Hi, is it necessary to have an antivirus with xubuntu ??
[21:13] <h00k> ghostnik11: you have to talk to the operators of the channel you are banned in.
[21:13] <guntbert> !repeat | scooby
[21:13] <Jordan_U> christof: No.
[21:13] <EgyParadox> yea repeat thts the one
[21:13] <BluesKaj> !antivirus | christof
[21:13] <christof> Ok great :) thx
[21:14] <h00k> ghostnik11: if it's an #ubuntu- channel, join #ubuntu-ops to discuss it
[21:14] <ghostnik11> h00k, is there a way i would be able to private message the operators of the channel, b/c its this channel #android-offtopic
[21:14] <scooby> i did that but now i get nothing
[21:14] <szal> ghostnik11: for Freenode-related stuff /join #freenode
[21:14] <scooby> guntbert: i did that but now i get nothing
[21:15] <h00k> ghostnik11: Join #freenode, but they'll tell you to talk to the operators of the channel
[21:15] <ghostnik11> szal: cool, thanks that would show everyone on freenode then i would be able to private message the person who banned me
[21:16] <prodigel> hi all. anyone using pure-ftpd? I'm trying to set some virtual users, but after that even with the good password I get 'Authentication failed for user...'
[21:16] <guntbert> scooby: you need to be patient, 10 minutes between repeats is recommended
[21:16] <scooby> i didnt mean to, sorry.  been along time since i was in irc
[21:16] <ghostnik11> h00k, szal, yeah he is not in there channel, but all i did was ask a question and he said he will ban everyone in nyc
[21:16] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, when u get exactly that error?
[21:17] <h00k> ghostnik11: that's for you to take up with #freenode :)
[21:17] <xiaoy> sorry for the time i take to answer, i'm busy with other stuff :P
[21:18] <ghostnik11> h00k, i'm not snitching, i will use my android phone which has a different ip then i am going to have a one on one conversation of why he would do that
[21:18] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: at the monment I execute the command tsocks lynx URL
[21:18] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: no problem, I've had this problem for a week now, I can wait a few minutes
[21:18] <h00k> ghostnik11: please take the discussion to #freenode, nobody here has governace over that.
[21:18] <h00k> ghostnik11: also, note ban-evasion is against Freenode policy.
[21:19] <ghostnik11> h00k, thanks for the help, thanks also to szal
[21:19] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, you configured the right port on localhost in tsocks.conf, right?
[21:19] <Arilyn> you tried to him a port to edit for my trig work
[21:20] <harold> Hey guys I need help regarding Evo mail.. it wont sync emails... help!
[21:20] <Arilyn> please use reactos or menuet as my parents can help me pay for the rest aye
[21:21] <guntbert> Arilyn: wrong window?
[21:22] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: Im not sure if we're still talking about the same thing here.. I normally use only SSH for this stuff, and I forward the traffic over a server.. tsocks uses SSH? because if not, my external server has absolutely no other thing available but SSH..
[21:23] <harold> sb please help me too..
[21:23] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, ssh with -D option created a dynamic local socks proxy
[21:23] <xiaoy> tsocks is a wrapper for other programs to use the internet trough that proxy tunnel
[21:25] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, you have to edit /etc/tsocks.conf changeing the lines server = 127.0.0.1 server_port = yourport
[21:25] <EgyParadox> sven_oostenbrink: Port forwarding should be enabled
[21:26] <EgyParadox> if you are willing to use ur ssh as a socks proxy
[21:26] <Arilyn> i could do have a dynamic local socks proxy
[21:26] <sven_oostenbrink> EgyParadox: erw... that would explain a thing or two
[21:26] <Arilyn> u gona b at skool i guess those two appealed to me in your eye ;)
[21:26] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: What EgyParadox said.. Checking..
[21:28] <jrb_> having problems using gnome-ppp.  Modem found and configured.  Connects to public library free isp but will not allow use of firefox.  Can't make sense of messages regarding gtk interface.  Using ubuntu version 10.04.
[21:29] <Arilyn> padi999
[21:29] <Arilyn> slickrick
[21:29] <sven_oostenbrink> EgyParadox: sudo su -; echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward; should enable IP forwarding, right?
[21:30] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, that's ip forwarding, it doesn't have any connection with your problem
[21:30] <Arilyn> the command sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo su -; echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward; should enable ip forwarding, right?
[21:31] <EgyParadox> sven_oostenbrink: sshd_config
[21:31] <Arilyn> sven_oostenbrink: port forwarding should paste your error
[21:31] <EgyParadox> you should edit sshd_config
[21:31] <sven_oostenbrink> EgyParadox: what key would I be looking for?
[21:31] <Arilyn> the l shaped return key and not too much more words than me
[21:32] <xiaoy> EgyParadox, is his openssh client that has problems not his server
[21:32] <sven_oostenbrink> Arilyn: Sorry, don't understand what you are saying.. really..
[21:32] <Arilyn> sorry, randoms a function in sauerenhanced
[21:32] <h00k> Arilyn: can you please try to be a little more coherent?
[21:33] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: EgyParadox: Right now I am getting "Err 105: This webpage is not available" in chromium
[21:33] <Arilyn> xiaoy: im not into that will leave early
[21:33]  * sven_oostenbrink thinks Arilyn is either a troll or a bot..
[21:33] <sven_oostenbrink> or both..
[21:35] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, you said you got this error after upgrading... so i would either try to reconfigure openssh-client package or purge and reinstall
[21:35] <Arilyn> sven_oostenbrink, that's ip forwarding, right?
[21:35] <rhizmoe> seems my webcam problem yesterday was fixed with a reboot, which doesn't make me happy.
[21:35] <sven_oostenbrink> xiaoy: not re-install, install on new laptop, new hardware..
[21:35] <Arilyn> xiaoy: what egyparadox said.
[21:35] <EgyParadox> sven_oostenbrink: http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html
[21:36] <Arilyn> niekie
[21:36] <xiaoy> sudo dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure openssh-client
[21:37] <sven_oostenbrink> EgyParadox: mmm, this howto has a different approach, but same tools.. let me try..
[21:37] <Arilyn> srsly build of music from different for rockets/grenades.
[21:37] <alampis87> sera
[21:37] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, or reinstalling the packacge sudo apt-get purge openssh-client && sudo apt-get install openssh-client
[21:38] <EgyParadox> sven_oostenbrink: is that what you want or something else?
[21:38] <Arilyn> what else?
[21:38] <Arilyn> alampis87
[21:38] <EgyParadox> kindly inform me
[21:38] <Arilyn> they exist only ssh with 8 displays and call me
[21:39] <xiaoy> sven_oostenbrink, if -D option didn't work, i'm afraid that way won't work either
[21:42] <sven_oostenbrink> EgyParadox: This -L option is a bit weird.. Doesn't work as it gives error on the port format as described on that site.. I'd have to dive a bit deeper in SSH manual for that
[21:43] <nekotreci> how can i connect to server with xubuntu ?
[21:43] <Arilyn> alampis87
[21:44] <nekotreci> do anybody have that expirience
[21:44] <Arilyn> they do a fsck may have to overclock
[21:44] <Polah> nekotrecia: Using which protocol? FTP, SSH or what?

[21:49] <bsmith093> im getting constant errors when checking for updates, but the only thing that actually happens , is the icon appears, telling me this, ive run sudo apt-get update in the terminal with not problems, how do i make the icon go away?
[21:49] <kingofswords> how much space is on a 8 gb usb stick...is it 7.5gb?
[21:50] <Phoenixz> kingofswords: 8GB usually is in factors of 1024, but manufacturers happily use 1000 for that, so its a percentage less in reality.. then you install a filesystem, and all filesystems have overhead.. Howmuch? Depends on the filessytem you are using
[21:51] <Phoenixz> kingofswords: Honestly, I'm not entirely sure, but I'd say you'd lose  < 5%
[21:51] <kingofswords> Phoenixz, its ntfs....but say s 7.5gb ..i need 7.74 for a iso
[21:51] <kingofswords> ok thx
[21:51] <urlin2u> kingofswords, gparted will tell you exactly
[21:51] <kingofswords> urlin2u, ahh nice one thx
[21:51] <Phoenixz> kingofswords: IIRC NTFS will reservate 12.5% for itself.. depending on configuration.. you want it faster? it can reservate up to 50% of your space..
[21:52] <Chuck_> I need some help getting some updates from ubuntu
[21:52] <Phoenixz> kingofswords: a quick df -h in commandline will do so too, by the way
[21:52] <urlin2u> Chuck_, what's the problem?
[21:52] <Chuck_> I am trying to run apt-get update from a PuTTy console and cannot receive the update. Any info would help
[21:52] <kingofswords> Phoenixz ok..well gparted says 7.48gb....
[21:53] <Chuck_> The device is a LCConnect IP box. it runs ubuntu and I need to update it.

[22:01] <flodine> hey guys will ubuntu ever use gnome2 again?
[22:02] <urlin2u> no

[22:02] <flodine> maybe on version 12
[22:02] <agoole2> my laptop also fails to load the ubuntu live cd
[22:02] <nekotreci> no, i followed the instructure of lampp site, they said i just need to download it and type that code in terminal
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> nekotreci: pwd
[22:03] <urlin2u> agoole2, which release, and describe what happens.
[22:03] <h00k> flodine: as Gnome has stopped development on Gnome2 and is focusing on Gnome3, Ubuntu will as well.
[22:03] <nekotreci> what mean pwd ?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> flodine: doubt it
[22:03] <Chuck_> ?
[22:03] <agoole2> urlin2u: I just downloaded and burnt the latest ubuntu from the website, 64 bit
[22:03] <h00k> flodine: for more discussion about the next version, please head to #ubuntu+1
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> flodine: there is a fork called 'mate' documented on omgubuntu
[22:03] <urlin2u> agoole2, did you check the SO's md5sum, and what happens?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> agoole2: did you MD5 test the ISO?
[22:04] <urlin2u> ISO*
[22:04] <Polah> Ubuntu is moving to Unity only by default with 11.10. GNOME3 should be compatible but will need to be installed afterwards, it will not come with the release by default

[22:06] <Polah> nekotreci: cd to the directory that archive is in and do: sudo tar -xvg xampp-linux-1.5.4a.tar.gz -C opt
[22:06] <urlin2u> agoole2, power on and tap the space key at the gui hit f6 and choose nomodeset hit esc the try ubuntu
[22:06] <urlin2u> then*
[22:06] <nekotreci> how to cd it
[22:06] <agoole2> urlin2u: ok, give me a moment
[22:07] <urlin2u> agoole2, hury, hurry. :D
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Chuck_: I get the IP 91.189.92.175  for ports.ubuntu.com
[22:07] <nekotreci> when i ope archive in "location" is just "/"
[22:07] <kingofswords> is there a program for slipstreaming iso files like nlie for ubuntu?
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> !remastersys | kingofswords
[22:08] <agoole2> urlin2u: looks like its booting a little further now
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> remaster
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> !remaster
[22:08] <kingofswords> ActionParsnip, thx
[22:09] <kingofswords> ActionParsnip, is it only for OS? this is a game iso i wanna customize
[22:09] <bacon> Chuck how is the device connected to the internet?
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> kingofswords: not sure there dude, I doubt it though
[22:09] <kingofswords> ok
[22:09] <Chuck_> right now to our switch.
[22:10] <bacon> and the switch?
[22:10] <MIME> I want to resize a partition on a remote server. I have root access, but I don't know much about how RAID works and I'm afraid I break something. any help?
[22:10] <Chuck_> I have checked the router and firewall. nothing is blocking the traffic out but I am not seeing any traffic back. As in nothing is being blocked.
[22:10] <agoole2> urlin2u: looks like the live cd booted fine
[22:11] <Chuck_> I am wondering if I took this thing home would I have a better chance.
[22:11] <bacon> hmm and your sure that your request can get out?
[22:11] <agoole2> urlin2u: should I do the same procedure for the normal laptop ?
[22:11] <kingofswords> is it possible to compress an iso image and still run it in virtual dvd? its only 100meg too big
[22:11] <Chuck_> that should rule out firewall and routing issues
[22:11] <bacon> might be an easy way to rule that problem out
[22:11] <urlin2u> agoole2, cool the install should pick up the driver, if not you can use the recovery from the grun menu and choose failsafe to get in.
[22:12] <urlin2u> grub*
[22:12] <nekotreci> fuck you all !!!
[22:12] <Chuck_> Well I guess its worth a shot and will give it a try.
[22:12] <agoole2> urlin2u: ok tried to boot normally, now I get a busybox shell ?!?
[22:12] <agoole2> urlin2u: with a command line that says initramfs
[22:12] <urlin2u> agoole2, not sure there>
[22:12] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: thats not a nice way to treat people who are trying to help you..
[22:13] <urlin2u> agoole2, try startx
[22:13] <godoy> test
[22:13] <nekotreci> nobody is trying to help me
[22:13] <urlin2u> nekotreci, put the hood bro
[22:13] <agoole2> urlin2u: says /bin/sh: startx not found
[22:13] <urlin2u> on*
[22:14] <bacon> Chuck_, good luck, maybe i'll one day here how it turned out :-)
[22:14] <urlin2u> agoole2, not sure really others may know.
[22:14] <agoole2> urlin2u: let me try the failsafe
[22:14] <nekotreci> i just asked how to extract lamp in /opt folder and nobody is answered me
[22:14] <nekotreci> i am fuckin nervose
[22:14] <urlin2u> agoole2, that is from a install
[22:14] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: Be patient please, we are here in our free time to help you, you don't pay anything, and so we are here just because we are so nice to help others..
[22:14] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: What seems to be the problem?
[22:15] <bacon> Chuck_, http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ebgsTsOt2A/TVlZ_qC4U9I/AAAAAAAAAMg/QuR1eogjwMk/s1600/good-luck-chuck-jessica.jpg&imgrefurl=http://issacmj.blogspot.com/2011/02/59-good-luck-chuck.html&h=667&w=450&sz=31&tbnid=jIIAViKo0MZ_uM:&tbnh=95&tbnw=64&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dgood%2Bluck%2Bchuck%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=good+luck+chuck&docid=TAlDcQzfiKqKDM&sa=X&ei=PA9cTpTSMYSfOvbpxaoM&ved=0CGgQ9QEwBw&dur=49
[22:15] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: this is a channel where many (young) people come, please do NOT swear, or you will be kicked out.
[22:15] <bacon> special for you
[22:15] <agoole2> urlin2u: ok tried safe mode, and says it can't mount /dev on /root/dev failed
[22:15] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: LAMP is "Linux Apache MySQL PHP".. Linux you already have if you have ubuntu installed
[22:15] <agoole2> urlin2u: no suchfile or dirctory
[22:16] <urlin2u> agoole2, how did you try safe mode?
[22:16] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: if you want Apache, MySQL and PHP installed, try "apt-get" whcih is the command line function to install new packages
[22:16] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: since its a root only command you need to prefix this with "sudo"
[22:16] <nekotreci> i followed the instructure of lammp site and in terminal when i type tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz -C /opt  it says that there is not that file
[22:16] <agoole2> urlin2u: booted it normal, and booted in recovery from the grub menu,
[22:16] <nekotreci> yes i put sudo
[22:16] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: forget that
[22:16] <urlin2u> agoole2, so you have a earlier install, is it that you can't boot that?
[22:17] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: Its not necesary.. What you can do is "sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server mysql-client php"
[22:17] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: that should get most of the necesary installed right away
[22:17] <Jordan_U> !lamp | nekotreci
[22:17] <agoole2> urlin2u: had ubuntu running, then it crapped out, and then I burned the latest 64bit to try to boot it
[22:17] <nekotreci> and where will be root folder of my site and how can  i start that when i start my comp ?
[22:17] <urlin2u> agoole2, I missed the failed boot of the install, what is it?
[22:17] <agoole2> urlin2u: not trying to reinstall, unless I have to
[22:18] <urlin2u> the distro agoole2
[22:18] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: The root folder for your website will be in /var/www/html
[22:18] <Jordan_U> nekotreci: /var/www/ and it will be started automatically. Read the link I gave you and it should explain everything.
[22:18] <agoole2> urlin2u: the nomodeset option got the CD to boot
[22:18] <agoole2> urlin2u: can that be also my problem for the regular boot ?
[22:19] <urlin2u> agoole2, without any more like the update information I'm guessing.
[22:19] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: if you are using this as a private development server, I may recommend you changing the file /etc/apache2/envvars, change the options "user" and "group" to your user and group name, and then you "sudo chown youruser:yourgroup /var/www/html -R" so that apache will use your user.. it will avoid many security conflicts..
[22:19] <nekotreci> ok tnx, sorry for my behavior,  i used meth to boost my creativity
[22:20] <agoole2> urlin2u: say what ? haha I'm confused
[22:21] <urlin2u> agoole2, you ask a question that has no answer without the background, you did a update and can't boot now.
[22:21] <nekotreci> nooo i am not server i am regular desktop user and i wanna have site just for me, like wamp in the windows
[22:21] <nCrazed> nekotreci xampp should do the trick
[22:21] <sarti> hey
[22:21] <nekotreci> yes but i have problem with installing it
[22:22] <agoole2> urlin2u: ok, running ubuntu 10.04 64bit, and after a package update it wouldn't boot anymore
[22:22] <nCrazed> o_O
[22:22]  * sarti love you
[22:22] <sarti> cool
[22:22] <sarti> ++
[22:22] <agoole2> urlin2u: seems like the nomodeset on the cd fixed the grub menu
[22:22] <agoole2> urlin2u: but it still only brings me to a busybox shell.
[22:22] <pingveno> Is there a way to tell which packages will get security updates for Lucid?
[22:22] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: xammp? Why not just install the apache server, mysql server and php with apt-get? or any package manager for that matter?
[22:22] <urlin2u> agoole2, did you dowb load a lucid cd the 11.04 will only allow you to chroot to fix the grub at best.
[22:22] <urlin2u> down*
[22:23] <urlin2u> agoole2, is this a wubi?
[22:23] <nCrazed> Phoenix, effort :P
[22:23] <agoole2> urlin2u: I just got the latest ubuntu 64 bit from the website,
[22:23] <agoole2> urlin2u: don't think its a wubi ? since I don't know what a wubi is
[22:24] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: downloading and installing xammp or just "sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server mysql-client php".... I think the latter is a whole lot easier..
[22:24] <kahen> does anyone know how to get they keyboard emulated mouse to emit a right click?
[22:24] <Jordan_U> nCrazed: You are spending much more effort trying to setup Xammp, which we don't support here, than you would by installing a LAMP stack normally.
[22:24] <Chuck_> Thanks guys. my fingers are crossed, Alba....so hot!
[22:24] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: ^^^ What I said to nCrazed..
[22:24] <nekotreci> i am gonna kill muself
[22:24] <urlin2u> agoole2, right read carefully and try to answer the questions or ask f you don't understand. :D    So was this lucid installed from windows perchance
[22:25] <urlin2u> Jordan_U, can I pm you
[22:25] <Jordan_U> urlin2u: Yes.
[22:25] <nCrazed> last time I checked, you would have to start each service manually or creating a script to start/stop/restart them all at ounce
[22:25] <kahen> i'm talking about "System > Preferences > Keyboard > Mouse Keys"
[22:25] <agoole2> urlin2u: no, not installed from windows. split partitions and dual boot
[22:26] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: ? After the apt-get, the services are there, installed, ready to use, and will restart automatically after reboot
[22:26] <Jordan_U> nCrazed: That is no longer the case (and hasn't been with Debian / Ubuntu for many years now). Installing Apache via apt-get configures it to start automatically.
[22:26] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: Whatever you need to do, but not on this channel please
[22:26] <nCrazed> that, I was not aware of :P
[22:26] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: I've been doing that for... longer than I can remember now :)
[22:27] <nCrazed> what about stopping/restarting (w/o a reboot) them all at ounce?
[22:27] <Phoenixz> nekotreci: Be a good meth sheep, read and do what we tell you to.. "sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server mysql-client php".. And off you go happily developing..
[22:27] <urlin2u> agoole2, geting a lucid cd may be the answer http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/
[22:27] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: Why would you want to stop and restart both MySQL and Apache at the same time?
[22:28] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: there is no reason for that.. And even if there were; sudo service apache2 restart; sudo service mysql restart;.. done.. :)
[22:28] <nCrazed> never had the need for it, just curious
[22:28] <agoole2> urlin2u: ok, after I get a lucid cd, any tips for steps to follow
[22:28] <vidarne> i have a problem with my both of my lan cards. They are not working. Did have ubuntu 11.04 server instaled and they worked, did go back to 10.04 and now they dont work. They show up on ifconfig. i can ping the box lan ip, but i can not ping anything on the lan or internet. The switch do flash on of the grean light, not steady as it shoud be. Any ideas what can be wrong with me ?
[22:29] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: PHP is an apache module, will restart automatically with Apache anyway.. And MySQL server.. I've had reasons to restart it (change in configuration, cold backup of MySQL data files ,etc), but there is hardly ever a reason to do so
[22:29] <urlin2u> agoole2, come back here if you need and post the bootscript. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/   in a pastebin
[22:30] <rj|director> Welcome to the Wandercircus from http://wandercircus.com/. We will now perform a play in this channel. Say "stop show" to stop us.
[22:30] <rj|director> [A tepid night. Romeo sneaks through the backyard. Juliet appears on the window of her room. They spot each other]

[22:30] <rj|Juliet> Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree.
[22:30] <rj|Juliet> Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.

[22:31] <rj|Juliet> Yond light is not daylight; I know it, I.
[22:31] <rj|Juliet> It is some meteor that the sun exhales

[22:31] <urlin2u> agoole2, no problem
[22:32] <kanapki> I don't speak english very well, and I don't really understand the subjetc of this channel... Is anybody can help me ?
[22:32] <nCrazed> ask
[22:32] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: I'm lost.. What?
[22:32] <Phoenixz> kanapki: Do you need help with Ubuntu?
[22:32] <vidarne> i have a problem with my both of my lan cards. They are not working. Did have ubuntu 11.04 server instaled and they worked, did go back to 10.04 and now they dont work. They show up on ifconfig. i can ping the box lan ip, but i can not ping anything on the lan or internet. The switch do flash on of the grean light, not steady as it shoud be. Any ideas what can be wrong with me ?
[22:32] <nCrazed> Phoenixz, homework for "professional issues in computing" doing my best not to avoid it... clearly not good enough
[22:33] <toyman61> Ubuntu 10.04: Is it possible to use a Netgear WNA3100 USB Wireless Adapter on this version and getting 802.11n speed ?

[22:33] <vidarne> yes
[22:33] <shelest> Is there a  priest? I need to confess my sins.

[22:35] <h00k> !ot | shelest
[22:35] <nCrazed> shelest confess them at your local police station
[22:35] <Phoenixz> nCrazed: You are asking me to do your homework? Seriously?
[22:35] <nCrazed> no
[22:35] <shelest> h00k: I have ubuntu-related sins.
[22:35] <vidarne> il give it a try
[22:35] <vidarne> can i PM you  ?
[22:36] <Skummel> toyman61 depends if that usb thingy got drivers for linux. You should allways be able to get it to work using ndiswrapper if it does't have any.
[22:36] <h00k> shelest: If you have a support related question, you can ask it here. please keep all other conversations in their appropriate channel
[22:36] <exutux> vidarne: yes
[22:36] <kanapki> Phoenixz : I would like to know how can I optimisate the autonomy of my battery with a GNU/Linux system. I tried ubuntu and crunchbang but it's worse than windows 7 :/
 I have tried ndiswrapper without any luck. Native Linux-drivers seems to be a problem.
 Loading the appropriate ndisdrivers gives me a very interesting error message: hardware not present - even if the d... thing is plugged in!
[22:38] <Phoenixz> kanapki: I'm not the resident expert on battery life here, but I do know that there is some battery problem with the Linux kernel, though AFAIK, its in newer kernels than currently used by Ubuntu.. In any case, google is your friend! "Ubuntu tweak battery life" or "Ubuntu modify power usage" that sort of thing
[22:39] <psycho693> Phoenixz: would it help if he compiled his own kernel?
[22:39] <Polah> Phoenixz, kanapki: I believe it's 2.6.38 that has power issues. I don't know if it's actual power usage or malfunctioning reporting though
[22:40] <Skummel> toyman61 Sry, I can't actually help you with it. but you can take comfort that other people have had the same problem. and some even solved it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549190
[22:40] <shelest> h00k: Hm. Ugh. Yes I have a support related question Where ca I find a priest?
[22:40] <kanapki> Phoenixz : Yes, thank you
[22:40] <h00k> shelest: if you have an Ubuntu support related question, ask it here. If not, then find a separate channel to ask.
[22:40] <h00k> ubottu: tell shelest about alis
 Thanx anyway. I have seen that entry on the Ubuntu forum, but so far it has been of no help..
[22:48] <chris_0076> I appear to have a problem with Compiz, when I move a window on the screen and watch system monitor compiz jumps up to 100% cpu usage =/
[22:49] <dude> i ostalled gnome3 on natty dread
[22:49] <erkan^> !firefox
[22:49] <dude> i got a anal problem
[22:49] <dude> the roblem is my xorg.conf is crapped somehow
[22:49] <ezakimak> if I simply comment out the initrd line in grub.cfg will it boot w/o loading the initramfs?
[22:50] <th0r> chris_0076: did you think all that 'pretty' came free?
[22:50] <dude> is there a way to generate a new xorg.conf with nvidia propreitary driver?
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> dude: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[22:50] <chris_0076> th0r, it did not happen before i upgraded though
[22:50] <dude> thank you sir
[22:50] <chris_0076> to 11.04*
[22:51] <chris_0076> also it only happens after the computer has been on an hr or so
[22:51] <chris_0076> plus I have the compiz settings to a minimum and I have a current-ish gen gfx card
[22:51] <mc-zero> [hello]
[22:52] <dude> how can i startx from a shell?
[22:52] <qin> dude: startx
[22:52] <altyab> hi all
[22:52] <dude> im not on the local server
[22:52] <mc-zero> [nastroleccatemelo]
[22:52] <dude> do i have to init 3 or or something?
[22:52] <HeGuru> dude: or try /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[22:52] <altyab> في حد بيتكلم عربي
[22:53] <dude> that works? ok
[22:53] <HeGuru> altyab: #ubuntu-ar
[22:53] <ezakimak> how can I boot w/out using initrd?
[22:53] <andeeeuk> samba is BS!!
[22:53] <Jordan_U> ezakimak: Why do you want to? What is your end goal?
[22:54] <jetrost> if i have a directory called /myDir and I want to bundle it as a tar.gz, what CLI program would I use? is gzip sufficient?
[22:54] <HeGuru> ezakimak: why do you want to boot without initrd?
[22:54] <dude> restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.96" (uid=1000 pid=32425 comm="restart gdm ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
[22:54] <ezakimak> because the initrd is screwing up the raid configuration
[22:54] <ezakimak> i have put raid=noautodetect and md=... args for the kernel, but the initrd enumerates them regardless and incorrectly
[22:55] <ezakimak> it drops me to the (initramfs) shell, upon which simply stopping the wrong md arrays and starting them the way I speciifed works just fine
[22:55] <HeGuru> ezakimak: you can remove initrd line from grub but that is sure to mess something else. Most modules are in initrd nowadays
[22:56] <mouse> How do I increase the mouse wheel scroll rate?
[22:56] <ezakimak> bait it with some cheese? lol. j/k
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> mouse: checked in mouse options?
[22:57] <ezakimak> you might try xinput set-prop ...
[22:57] <mouse> ActionParsnip, Yeah but my mouse options are pretty bare boned.
[22:57] <mouse> ezakimak, Alright thanks.
[22:58] <dude> a ssh terminal cannot start gdm  think?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> mouse: try:  xset m 3 4     change 3 to 2 if it's too fast
[22:58] <h00k> dude: you can restart gdm on the xserver of the local machine, use sudo in front of the command: "sudo service gdm restart"
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> mouse: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=895971
[22:59] <h00k> dude: by local, I mean the one you're remoting into with ssh
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> mouse: if it's just in firefox then there is a settings for that http://askubuntu.com/questions/27270/increasing-scroll-speed
[22:59] <ezakimak> ActionParsnip, thats mouse movement acceleration, not scroll wheel
[22:59] <infernal> hi
[22:59] <ezakimak> ok, so if disabling initrd is not possible the way ubuntu is set up, how can i get it to *not* do anything w/my raid?
[23:00] <HeGuru> Initrd does not do anything other than mostly load modules
[23:00] <ezakimak> i've been through it, it starts md devices blindly via mdadm --scan
[23:00] <ezakimak> i need to stop this behavior
[23:00] <dude> : Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
[23:00] <HeGuru> ezakimak: what are you doing that fixes it at initrd shell?
[23:01] <ezakimak> mdadm -S /dev/mdXYZ; then mdadm -A ... all my arrays, then "exit" and it goes right to login prompt
[23:02] <HeGuru> ezakimak: well one not so simple solution would be to modify the initrd and check for the script thats running mdadm, replace that with yours and repack initrd
[23:03] <HeGuru> ezakimak: initrd is a gzipped cpio archive, which you can extract modify and repack
[23:04] <skrite_> hey all
[23:04] <ezakimak> k. well will have to play with it more

[23:06] <skrite_> i am having trouble with a sound card i just installed. Lspci found it, when i modproble snd-ca0106 it loads, but the alsamixer always shows via 8237
[23:07] <kingofswords> how do i find my graphics crd info in cli?
[23:07] <HeGuru> kingofswords: lspci
[23:07] <skrite_> kingofswords, lspci
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> kingofswords: sudo lshw -C display
[23:08] <kingofswords> ActionParsnip, ty
[23:08] <skrite_> anyone have an idea about a sound card?
[23:09] <splitpaw-mobile> I have lots of ideas about some cards
[23:09] <splitpaw-mobile> I just teasing ya
[23:09] <skrite_> ok, specifically, and idea i can try to get mine working :)
[23:10] <skrite_> when i run alsamixer, it shows the onboard sound, not the card.
[23:11] <snufft> skrite_: i had the same pain just the other day. between alsa mixer and a linux version of my sound chipset, it magically started working...
[23:11] <mordonez> Hi guys , for some reason my Manhattan HDMI wasn't working
[23:12] <mordonez> so I followed a tutorial and now I don't even see the card
[23:12] <mordonez> I have a etc backup
[23:12] <skrite_> snufft, cool
[23:12] <mordonez> what folders I have to replace?
[23:12] <splitpaw-mobile> Type in terminal lspci tell me what lists
[23:13] <skrite_> if i block the onboard sound from loading, might it load ? Or should i just install pulse ? (running lubuntu)
[23:14] <splitpaw-mobile> Type this lspci |grep -I audio
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> skrite_: do you get no sound?
[23:15] <mordonez> no , and I only get a Dummy Ouput
[23:15] <mordonez> that's the only option I have
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[23:15] <mordonez> that doesn't return anything
[23:15] <bonhoffer> i'm trying to boot, but get CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket
[23:16] <bonhoffer> then cifs_mount failed w/return code =-101
[23:16] <bonhoffer> then i get a login: prompt

[23:28] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: waiting but i keep getting error in version string '2.2.2-46594_Ubuntu_intrepid"
[23:28] <HRuivo> hi everyone. I'm new to linux and I'm having some issues with ubuntu. I'm experience an huge lag of the OS.
[23:28] <HRuivo> any clues about that issue?
[23:28] <bonhoffer> invalid character in revision number
[23:28] <urlin2u> HRuivo, whats the cpu and ram?
[23:28] <Phong_> hi guys, is it secure in ubuntu to allow remember password for browsers?
[23:29] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: it seems like your nvidia driver is not for the current kernel. If youbused apt this should not happen
[23:29] <urlin2u> Phong_, FF sync is protected
[23:29] <HRuivo> Intel Core 2 Duo T9600, 4GB
[23:29] <Phong_> urlin2u, ff= ?
[23:29] <Phong_> firefox?
[23:29] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: i'm installing nvidia-glx-185 after purge
[23:29] <Phong_> urlin2u, so it is safe
[23:30] <Phong_> urlin2u, can ubuntu get virus or spywares?
[23:30] <urlin2u> Phong_, fairly password and a sync key
[23:30] <Ebonhand> hi ho
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> skrite_: hopefully the newer alsa will help
[23:30] <skrite_> ok, cool
[23:30] <skrite_> we will know soon
[23:31] <bonhoffer> HeGuru: computer keeps rebooting on me
[23:31] <urlin2u> Phong_, addware yes virus or malware unlikely without root access, none in the wild basically, root kits yes
[23:31] <Phong_> urlin2u, again, to it is safe.
[23:32] <bonhoffer> then Kernel panic -- not syncing
[23:32] <urlin2u> Phong_, si how would me saying yes or no really matter look on the web on have to protect yourself.
[23:32] <urlin2u> so
[23:32] <urlin2u> how
[23:33] <HeGuru> bonhoffer: hmm, you might want to try running memtest and if thats fine try using alternate kernel
[23:33] <HRuivo> urlin2u, and It's also an asus notebook. My desktop computer has no issues with the OS...
[23:33] <bonhoffer> but i can't mount root fs
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> Phong_:  normally viruses are not an issue. theres still always a chance the user could on-purpose install some malware. but its rarely an issue either.
[23:34] <bonhoffer> Pid: 1 comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu
[23:34] <Phong_> ok
[23:34] <urlin2u> HRuivo, 32 or 64 bit?  And are you using a lot of apps when this happens?
[23:34] <bonhoffer> don't even know how to reboot
[23:35] <Phong_> Dr_Willis, i'm running ubuntu as vmware
[23:35] <Phong_> Dr_Willis, love it so much.
[23:35] <Phong_> Dr_Willis, windows 7 is host
[23:35] <curiousx> Phong_: if you install soft from repos or adding the offical PPA of the programas you want to install you never will have an issua about virus on software installing
[23:35] <mordonez> Hi guys
[23:36] <HRuivo> urlin2u, 64. no, I simply ran the cd after the reboot. tried both the demo and instalation. both are SUPER slow.
[23:36] <Phong_> ok curiousx
[23:36] <bonhoffer> is there a ctl+alt+del equivalent when i get kernel panic on bootup
[23:36] <mordonez> the solution "worked" I have audio again but just as internal audio
[23:36] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | bonhoffer
[23:36] <mordonez> Manhattan HDMI Audio do not output anything
[23:36] <urlin2u> HRuivo, cd's are always slow
[23:36] <Jordan_U> bonhoffer: If it's really a kernel panic then even sysrq won't work though.
[23:37] <curiousx> i have an issue when installing a game with wine but just a little problem in 3 years
[23:37] <bonhoffer> Jordan_U: power cycle
[23:37] <phong_> how to uninstall RealVNC from the command?
[23:38] <HRuivo> urlin2u, but I stay about 30 minutes or more just to change from the type of instalation (Demo, or install) page to the next one. Even the mouse cursor is very lagged.
[23:39] <curiousx> phong_: i dont have in repos, but search it in the "Ubuntu Center software"
[23:39] <phong_> oh
[23:39] <curiousx> i do not have ubuntu =P
[23:39] <phong_> also how can i install wine?
[23:40] <urlin2u> HRuivo, look up your computer on the web running ubuntu,.
[23:41] <urlin2u> phong_, why when you have W7 as the host?
[23:42] <phong_> ok nevermind lol
[23:42] <urlin2u> phong_, if you just need to talk try #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:46] <HRuivo> urlin2u, just found a topic at the ubuntu forums about this same issues. the problem was solved by installing the version 10.10 LTS. Will give it a try ;)
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> 10.10 isn't LTS
[23:49] <Explodingpiglets> quick, terminal command to kill firefox
[23:49] <Dr_Willis> killall processname
[23:49] <Explodingpiglets> what is firefox's process name?
[23:49] <Dr_Willis> or the 'kill pid' method.
[23:49] <the_eye_> hiwk, how echo a webpage content in bash ?
[23:50] <HRuivo> just noticed that. downloading the 10.04. I hope it works fine with my gear
[23:50] <Dr_Willis> Explodingpiglets:  try TAB completion.... fir<tab>
[23:50] <rypervenche> Explodingpiglets: killall firefox or killall firefox-bin
[23:50] <urlin2u> HRuivo, cool
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> Explodingpiglets: it will be firefox or firefox.bin
[23:50] <Explodingpiglets> thanks
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> oops firefox-bin
[23:50] <buddha_> or pkill
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> Explodingpiglets: ps -ef | grep -i fire     will show you
[23:51] <Explodingpiglets> thanks, it worked
[23:51] <buddha_> sorry, "pkill firefox"
[23:52] <aaas> does anyone else get a blank page if you go here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-295616.html
[23:52] <phong_> anyone know why i do 'vncconfig' i got this : No VNC extension on display :0.0
[23:52] <phong_> i am trying to configure RealVNC, and i got this: No VNC extension on display :0.0
[23:52] <th0r> aaas: yup
 yes
[23:52] <phong_> can anyone help me out with that?
[23:52] <aaas> phong_ so you're using xvnc?
[23:53] <aaas> th0r, the_eye_ thanks
[23:53] <phong_> i am using ubuntu x64, RealVNC
[23:53] <phong_> RealVNC from           realvnc.com
[23:53] <aaas> phong_ if you run ps -A | grep x -i  what do you see any x11vnc, Xvnc, xorg?
[23:54] <yakeb> !
[23:54] <yakeb> whoops, sorry.
[23:54] <phong_> aaas, in ur pm
[23:54] <exutux> realvnc :-/
[23:54] <phong_> aaas, i am using ubuntu in vmware
[23:54] <aaas> phong_ so not running.. just a quick question.. sometimes yo uahve a reason but why realvnc why not nx?
[23:55] <the_eye_> how echo a webpage text in bash ? no html
[23:55] <aaas> phong_ people have their reasons, just curious
[23:55] <phong_> aaas, because i use to use realvnc in windows
[23:55] <aaas> phong_ why?
[23:55] <phong_> in windows 7, it has the configuration screen easy to setup
[23:55] <yakeb> hi, all. i'm not sure if anybody is familiar with this. i installed a login manager called "slim". i configured it correctly as best as i can tell, but when i boot up i get a blank screen. what is the quickest and/or easiest way to recover the login manager?
[23:55] <aaas> phong_ so you are trying to connect to a windows computer>?
[23:56] <aaas> phong_ did you want a vnc server on ubuntu or client?
[23:56] <phong_> aaas, no,  i am trying to connec tto ubuntu
[23:56] <aaas> phong_ from windows>?
[23:56] <phong_> i want RealVNC server to be       in ubuntu
[23:56] <buddha_> yakeb: you mean it's black when you try slim?
[23:56] <yakeb> correct.
[23:56] <aaas> phong_ ok, but baring special circumstance NX is much easier to setup and encrypted it has a lot of pros over vnc
[23:56] <phong_> aaas, in windows , i can configure realvnc to listen to different port number
[23:57] <phong_> aaas, then tell me how to do it
[23:57] <wisevoyager> yakeb, make new fresh install ubuntu again. I think it's better than trying repiaring it..,
[23:57] <phong_> should i get rid of realvnc ?
[23:57] <Dr_Willis> you configure most vnc servers to use whateer ports you want. Check their docs and config files ph8
[23:57] <aaas> phong_ unless you have a reason to have vnc: connecting to :0 or other reason
[23:57] <Dr_Willis> you configure most vnc servers to use whateer ports you want. Check their docs and config files phong_.  the vnc server you youse shouldent matter much
[23:57] <aaas> phong_  sometimes vnc makes sense but often it doesnt
[23:57] <ardian> Hi, a process is killing my CPU how can I kill it
[23:58] <phong_> aaas, all i want is be able to connect to it with the port i want it to be
[23:58] <phong_> aaas, dont care what         software to use
[23:58] <aaas> phong_ leave vnc for now and see if nx is for you
[23:58] <buddha_> wisevoyager: wait, seriously?
[23:58] <aaas> phong_ so im not sure how to change the port, ill have to look it up but it has to be there
[23:58] <aaas> phong_ also why a different port? security?
[23:58] <phong_> aaas, well     how to install nx?
[23:58] <aaas> phong_ actually nx tunnels through ssh, so i hope 22 is ok
[23:59] <phong_> aaas, cause port 5900 is for windows 7
[23:59] <aaas> phong_ then it would be easy to set up
[23:59] <exutux> buddha_: try do uninstall slim and reinstall gdm
[23:59] <Jordan_U> yakeb: How did you install slim?
[23:59] <aaas> phong_ 5900 is for vnc
[23:59] <phong_> so that windows 7 running   vmware
[23:59] <exutux> to*
[23:59] <aaas> phong_ ah
[23:59] <yakeb> wisevoyager: really? Isn't there some recovery tool? everything is fine but the boot mgr...
[23:59] <phong_> now i have ubuntu as vmware, i want     diff port
[23:59] <aaas> phong_ but surly vmware can use port 22?
[23:59] <aaas> phong_ can you ssh
[23:59] <phong_> i dont know
[23:59] <exutux> yakeb: try do uninstall slim and reinstall gdm
[23:59] <phong_> aaas, all i want is to change port to    what ever i want
