buddha_wait yakeb you mean to say that it boots up but then there is no login manager?00:00
phong_i like REalvnc because i used to it00:00
yakebexutux: apt-get00:00
=== addisonj__ is now known as addisonj
aaasphong_ i see3.. well im just trying to think on what would be best for you00:00
aaasphong_ if you know vnc that's a plot00:00
aaasphong_ but try nx to see if you like it00:00
aaasphong_ go to www.nomachine.com00:00
=== dfgas is now known as ironfisted
yakebbuddha: that's right, or if there is, it is misconfigured; it's just a blank screen.00:01
phong_aaas, realvnc for windows, i can change to what ever port i want00:01
antidwhat is BusyBox?00:01
aaasphong_  if you want only open source youll have to ask people here about freenx00:01
Dr_Willisnormally vnc starts at a specific port then moves up for each addational desktop. whats the poing in specifying a differnt port phong_?00:01
exutuxyakeb: so if you a blank screen try to login from tty ( ctrl+alt+f2 ) and remove slim00:01
aaasphong_ you can change the client to connect to any port but you have to change the server to run on that port too00:01
exutuxso reinstall gdm00:01
buddha_yakeb: what exutux said00:01
phong_aaas, anyway, since i already install RealVNC how to start it?00:01
aaasphong_  Dr_Willis is correct, i dont see why a different port is necessary00:01
buddha_and undo whatever configuration you did00:02
exutuxyakeb: sudo apt-get remove --purge slim00:02
phong_aaas, why?00:02
aaasphong_ im not totally sure.. i think thats Xvnc, correct?00:02
aaasphong_ why do you want to change the port?00:02
=== ironfisted is now known as dfgas
phong_aaas, because example port 5900 is being use for windows 700:02
phong_windows 7 has realvnc and is use port 590000:02
aaasphong_ the vnc client on windows?00:02
phong_wnc server on window00:02
exutuxyakeb: then sudo apt-get install gdm or install --reinstall00:02
Dr_Willisphong_:  somthing is confused here..  you got vnc going on  the vmware guest.. and host os? or what exactly.00:02
aaasphong_ but that is the default00:03
aaasphong_ the sever usually defaults to 5900 and the client usually connects to 590000:03
phong_ok then, i have to tell windows to listen to 5901 thennnnnnnnnnnnnnn00:03
aaasphong_ why do you need to change it to 5901?00:03
phong_well...tell me how to start vnc server on linux thennnnnn00:03
exutuxwell night all00:03
aaasphong_ you need display :1?00:03
phong_yes00:03
phong_i need to display00:03
Dr_Willisvnc destops are numbered :1 and :2 and so on. thats the port+the Number.. ie: :1 = 5900+100:03
phong_drlisten man00:04
phong_ok let me tellu situation00:04
aaasphong_  so i think realvnc is Xvnc?00:04
Dr_Willisphong_:  clarify the exact issue man...00:04
aaasphong_ yes go ahead00:04
Dr_Willisxvnc is not realvnc. they are 2 differnt vnc servers. with differnt design goals.00:04
phong_I have 1 computer running windows 7 also has REalVnc server00:04
phong_i instaall ubuntu on windows 7 as vmware00:04
yakebetuxux (and) buddha_:thanks for your help. i will give this a try.00:05
phong_and later install realvnc for linux00:05
exutuxbut...why not configure remote desktop in Ubuntu....is too easy than complicate life with vncserver?00:05
phong_my    router currently port 5900 to windows ip00:05
phong_let say my windows ip is 192.168.0.10000:05
phong_ubuntu has 192.168.0.10100:05
phong_5900 is being port to x.x.x.10000:06
phong_now i want 5901 tooooooooo port to x.x.x.10100:06
aaasphong_ router shouldn't matter if all computer are behind it00:06
phong_aaas, it should00:06
aaasphong_ you shouldnt have to mess with routing tables00:06
phong_aaas, i connect externally00:06
aaasphong_ ah ok00:06
phong_duh00:06
aaasphong_ but you said you were using vmware?00:07
phong_yes00:07
Dr_Willisphong_:  set the vmware to use  the networking mode where  the gueyou should really set up the vmware box to do a differnt higher range or ports.. such as 690100:07
Dr_Willisoops messed up.. :) lol00:07
phong_how to do that00:07
phong_that is what i was saying00:07
phong_i can't bring realvnc configuration00:07
Dr_WillisPortNumber=(port number)   in vnc config file.. according to the realvnc docs.00:07
antidwhy when i try (an old version) boot install, after the ubuntu loading screen, i get to some "busybox" console with a endless "loading...please wait" at the top and a meaningless list of commands00:08
Dr_Willisi tend to use tightvnc.00:08
phong_the problem is for me how to configure in lunix00:08
Opiniecould someone guide me through the hurdle of copying an ubuntu partition from an USB stick to a partition in a HD? The computer in question is a MacBook running Leopard. I'm currently booted into Ubuntu 10.1000:08
phong_ok where is vncconfig file?00:08
phong_and how to know if realvnc is on?00:08
aaasphong_ what command did you use to run it?00:08
phong_usually windows 7 has an icon..it starts as service00:08
phong_i install it00:09
phong_that' sit00:09
phong_dont know if it run or not..and dont know how i can check00:09
aaasphong_ and it gave yo uthat error?00:09
buddha_Opinie: so the USB has a bootable version of ubuntu, not a live edition?00:09
phong_aaas, everthing installed fine00:09
phong_aaas, is realvnc has GUI configuration?00:09
phong_or is it command thing00:09
Opiniebuddha_: it's an actual OS that I'm currently running. I guess you could call it a live edition..?00:09
aaasphong_ if you open up a terminal and do 'ps -A | grep vnc -i' you probably dont have any vnc server running00:09
Opiniebuddha_: Also, the cd drive of the computer does not work00:10
phong_let me try00:10
aaasphong_ if you dont see any 'vnc'00:10
Jordan_UOpinie: How did you create the USB install?00:10
Dr_Willisvncserver PortNumber=6900    (from how i am reading the doc)00:10
phong_aaas, i dont see nothing00:10
buddha_Opinie: ok, so the USB is not an install ISO00:10
phong_so it is not running00:10
phong_how to start it then?00:10
aaasphong_ tryo vnc4server00:11
aaasphong_ try 'vnc4server'00:11
aaasphong_ does it know that command?00:11
phong_The program 'vnc4server' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:00:11
phong_sudo apt-get install vnc4server00:11
Dr_WillisFor a detailed list of all the Xvnc command-line options, run00:11
Dr_Willisvncserver -list00:11
aaasphong_ and 'vncserver'00:11
OpinieJordan_U buddha_ : I used my MBP to create the operating system running from the USB stick on my macbook. Essentially, I created the USB operating system using another computer00:11
Opiniebuddha_: no, it is not an ISO00:12
phong_i am installing it now00:12
Opiniebuddha_: *install iso00:12
aaasphong_  i thought you installed it?00:12
buddha_Opinie: 2nd question: do you have another USB stick? cause if you do that makes things easy00:12
aaasphong_ after you install type: "vnc4server :1 -geometry 1024x768"00:13
phong_aaas, i did, download from RealVNC00:13
phong_vnc4server is diff from realvnc?00:13
Opiniebuddha_ Jordan_U: yes, I do happen to have another USB stick00:13
buddha_sweet00:13
Dr_WillisYou could always set up the router to forward port 7900 for example to port 6900 on the proper linux ip#. and not need to reconfigure vnc at all..00:13
aaasphong_ i dont know what executable they use00:13
phong_oh00:13
Dr_Willisthen vnc to the port 7900.00:13
phong_aaas, anyway i install vnc4server00:13
phong_now what00:13
aaasphong_ after you install type: "vnc4server :1 -geometry 1024x768"00:13
Dr_Willisphong_:  you do realize that using vnc over the 'internet' is not secure? you shoudl really ssh tunnle it.00:13
phong_i call 'vnc4server' and create password00:13
phong_now what00:14
aaasphong_ try that command i had atove00:14
aaasabove00:14
HRuivothanks for the help. bye ;)00:14
phong_aaas, then what00:14
phong_what port is it listening to?00:14
konrWhat's that program in Ubuntu's installation that allows you to visually check a keyboard layout? Are there others programs that do it?00:14
aaasphong_ try: 'ps -A | grep 'vnc'"00:15
phong_so that i can port forward00:15
aaasphong_ do you see a 'vnc' server running00:15
buddha_Opinie: alright, this is what you do. Grab yourself a copy of Clonezilla and install it on the other USB stick. Then put both USB sticks in and reboot the computer into clonezilla (this is assuming you have already set up a partition for the ubuntu)00:15
phong_phong_@p:~$ ps -A | grep 'vnc'00:15
phong_ 3498 pts/0    00:00:02 Xvnc400:15
aaas phong_ and this is on ubuntu that is running on vmware on a windows 7 host?00:15
phong_what now?00:15
phong_yeah00:16
phong_it has IP too00:16
aaasphong_ you have a vnc client in windows?00:16
Opiniebuddha_: just to be clear, first step is to install ubuntu on the other USB stick as well?00:16
phong_on other minchine00:16
phong_i will test on other machine00:16
aaasphong_ try connecting to the ip with port 5900 and then 590100:16
phong_externally00:16
aaasphong_ try here first00:16
phong_ok00:16
aaasphong_ make sure you can connect to the server internally00:16
phong_ok i try internally00:16
phong_brb00:17
Opiniebuddha_: oh wait, never mind, now I understand what you meant. Yes, I have a partition already00:17
Opiniebuddha_: set aside for ubuntu00:17
Opiniebuddha_: right, I'll try what you suggested00:17
buddha_Opinie: ok, so boot up your clonezilla and clone the partition on the USB to the MBP00:18
Opinieright00:18
phong_aaas, i think i forgot the pass00:18
aaasphong_ haha00:18
phong_it asks for password00:18
aaasphong_ thats a good sign00:18
phong_can i reset?00:19
aaasphong_ yes00:19
phong_how00:19
aaasphong_ I think it's vncpasswd00:19
ricreethe popup window from the force quit button is stuck on my screen, even after pressing escape.  Anyone know what the name of the process is so I can kill it?00:19
phong_ok00:19
aaasphong_ did you need this over an internal network (across a router) or over the internet?00:20
aaasphong_ you really should tunnel this through ssh, but at that point you might as well use nx00:20
phong_aaas, authentication fail00:20
phong_i've changed pass00:20
phong_lol00:20
buddha_Opinie: then I believe you can use grub on a MBP as its a x86, so reboot into Ubuntu after cloning is done and run "grub-install /dev/sda (or whatever your setup is)" if you want grub00:20
aaasphong_ you need this over the internet?00:20
phong_aaas, how can i kill it?????????????????????00:21
phong_i thhhink i forgot to put the resolution          ?00:21
aaasphong_ its ok, its not connecting because the password00:21
phong_oh00:21
aaasphong_ i think00:21
phong_but i did change it00:21
aaasphong_ yeah it might be using a non defaul password00:21
aaasphong_ location00:21
=== Ghuitster is now known as ghuit123
phong_oh00:21
aaasphong_ do you have a ~/.vnc dir00:22
phong_let me see00:22
phong_i'm in it00:22
aaasphong_ it has a passwd file?00:22
phong_yeah00:22
aaasphong_ 'mv passwd passwd.old'00:22
phong_done00:22
aaasphong_ now try to recreate the passwd, but dont do sudo00:23
=== ghuit123 is now known as ghuitster
aaasphong_ then check if the passwd file is there00:23
Opiniebuddha_: I suppose it's time to correct a minor misunderstanding, I actually wanted to install the ubuntu on a macbook, the MBP was just an intermediary that I had to use to create the USB ubuntu partition. Just a sec and I'll check which version the macbook in question is00:23
ricreethe popup window from the force quit button is stuck on my screen, even after pressing escape.  Anyone know what the name of the process is so I can kill it?00:23
phong_yes it is here00:23
phong_it created 100:24
phong_passwd00:24
aaasphong_ now you are trying to connect to vnc *on the same machine*?00:24
Loungehow can i reinstall the original ttys? whats the packege for that?00:24
aaasphong_ so ubuntu is in vmware00:24
=== ghuitster is now known as ghuit123
buddha_Opinie: if its a macbook of any kind then it's an x86. I was wrong about the grub though. I think its so weird configuration on macs00:24
aaasphong_ and you are launching a client in windows *on the same machine*00:24
aaas?00:24
buddha_looking up now00:24
Loungepython-pyoncl screwdup my system00:24
=== ghuit123 is now known as ghuitster
antidwhy do i get some "BusyBox" console after ubuntu load screen when trying to install (some older version)00:24
Loungethe ttys are all red and wrong sized00:24
Loungepython-pyopenCL*00:25
ghuitsterclear00:25
phong_same machine00:25
Opiniebuddha_: ok00:25
aaasphong_ ok and you try again and still no connect?00:25
phong_no connect00:25
phong_same authentication failur00:25
aaasphong_ your port is 5900?00:26
aaasphong_ in the vnc client its <ip>:5900?00:26
phong_just the plain ip00:26
phong_i think usually if u dont put port it default as 590000:26
aaasphong_ try <ip>:590000:26
phong_ok00:26
aaasphong_ then <ip>:590100:26
Loungehow do i reinstall the ttys?00:27
phong_lol sammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme00:27
Jordan_Ubuddha_: You were right the first time. Intel macs have a BIOS implementation in addition to EFI, so you can install and use grub-pc as you would on any other PC (you can also use grub-efi, but I wouldn't).00:27
ActionParsnipphong_: what are you planning to do when you finally get connected via VNC>?00:28
cexsumcould anyone give me a link to the file that contains fonts for ubuntu?00:28
aaasphong_ hold00:28
buddha_Jordan_U: wait, I was right about something? this is a red-letter day.00:28
ActionParsnip!fonts | cexsum00:28
ubottucexsum: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/00:28
antidis it possible that my disc has only "wubi" -- or something00:28
phong_ActionParsnip, just to have it available00:28
ricreeon the offchance anyone was wondering, I solved my problem with "killall gnome-panel"00:29
OpinieJordan_U buddha_ : In case it makes any difference, I already have Refit installed on the macbook.00:29
ActionParsnipphong_: sure, but to what end? You do realize there are far sleeker solutions than VNC00:29
aaasphong_ im not sure.. you dont have the capslock on do you.. .maybe you should jsut learn nx00:29
aaasphong_ you're going to have to tunnel this anyways00:29
urlin2uantid, wubi is just a app in ubuntu00:29
phong_aaas, froget it..00:29
aaasphong_ sorry00:29
antidwell this is broke00:29
phong_any other  software?00:29
aaasphong_ yes try nx00:29
phong_ok how to kill it00:29
phong_or other00:29
phong_how ttttttttto install nx00:29
ActionParsnipphong_: what activities would you conduct in the VNC session?00:29
aaasphong_ 'sudo pkill vnc'00:29
milesHow to migrate the /home directory from one (failing) HDD to another without breaking things?00:30
Jordan_U!separatehome | miles00:30
ubottumiles: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving00:30
antidis it not possible to install from a usb of 1 gb?00:30
phong_done00:30
buddha_Opinie: in that case install the bootloader (grub) to the partition with ubuntu (grub-install /dev/sda?)00:30
miles(My /home and / already are on distinct hard drives)00:30
phong_can realvnc client connect to nx ?00:30
urlin2uantid, yes use netbootin to load the thumb00:30
Opiniebuddha_: k00:30
urlin2uantid, unetbootin00:30
aaasphong_ i think maybe, but just download the nx client00:30
Jordan_Umiles: That tutorial doesn't cover exactly what you're trying to do but it should give you a good idea on how to copy things over none the less.00:31
phong_aaas, cause my phone has vnc client00:31
buddha_miles: clonezilla is your friend00:31
phong_vnc for android00:31
milesReading it now, thanks for the link00:31
aaasphong_ but answer ActionParsnip question.. why are you doing htis, file management? running programs?00:31
phong_running app00:31
Jordan_Umiles: You're welcome.00:31
phong_or do what ever i want00:31
milesoh, yeah, clonezilla too. great idea.00:31
phong_lolllllllll00:31
aaasphong_ why cant you just rdp into the windows machine and run ubuntu through vmware?00:31
aaasphong_ lots of apps use rdp00:32
phong_that is running thru many thing00:32
phong_i've done it before man00:32
phong_with realvnc for linux00:32
=== Pilif12p is now known as homework
aaasphong_ but this way is better00:32
aaasphong_ windows 7 is your host?00:32
urlin2uActionParsnip, I think the user just needs someone to talk to to be honest.00:32
phong_yeah00:32
phong_this time i forgot how to do it lol00:32
aaasphong_ just rdp into windows machine00:32
phong_did it before love it00:32
aaasphong_ then you can run windows and ubuntu at the same time00:33
phong_no man, i have phone00:33
phong_i use vnc from my phone00:33
aaasphong_ yes the phone too00:33
aaasphong_ many many many rdp apps00:33
aaasphong_ vnc isn't secure00:33
phong_why not?00:33
aaasphong_ unless you tunnel through port 2200:33
ActionParsnipphong_: you do know that you can remotely access most of the OS without VNC, Torrent apps have WebUIs and files can be accessed over SSHFS for example00:33
aaasphong_ its not by nature00:33
aaasphong_ you have android or iphone?00:34
phong_androidddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd00:34
ActionParsnipphong_: data sent via VNC is not encrypted in any way, it's al sent plaintext00:34
phong_oops00:34
phong_sorry i was remotely chat to u00:34
phong_sorry ffor that ddd00:34
aaasphong_ the best: http://www.wyse.com/products/software/pocketcloud/index.asp00:34
ActionParsnipphong_: android has transdroid which will allow you to manage transmission beautifully :)00:34
aaasphong_ you set your windows machine to run rdp00:34
phong_ok show me what i need to download for android?00:35
aaasphong_ youll connect with little hassel00:35
=== TJSmith_ is now known as Tjsmith
phong_sure00:35
ActionParsnipphong_: install transdroid00:35
aaasphong_ sorry that one might not be free. but its definetly the best00:35
phong_let me get out of this chat in vmware00:35
ActionParsnipphong_: enable the web UI in transmission and you are good to go00:35
Dr_Willisis that the whole point of this vnc stuff? to controll a torrent client?  Transdroid is the way to do it.. :)00:35
phong_be back in min00:35
phong_let me turn vmware off00:35
aaasphong_ also you can use virtualbox instead of vmware...you can run in seamless mode and run both ubuntu and windows int he same os00:35
ActionParsniptoo many peope are TOO quick to reach for VNC. Its an appaulingly BAD protocol but people don't TINK to use sleeker solutions00:36
aaasActionParsnip agreed, its only for certain things00:36
aaasActionParsnip nx is almsot always00:36
aaasbetter00:36
Phong_ok i close vmware00:37
Dr_Willisutorrent3 has a nice android client also - but not sure what version of utorrent is ported to linux at this time. :)00:37
Phong_now what?00:37
aaasPhong_: ok first you need an rdp client on yoru phone00:37
ActionParsnipaaas: i can usually name a better solution than any remote desktop thing under Linux00:37
Phong_just to let u know, im chat with u at home pc, but connect from work ;)00:37
milesDoes 'sudo rsync -axS' copies over the file permissions?00:37
aaasPhong_ you have any rdp app on yoru phone?00:37
Phong_aaas, and Dr_Willis i want u guys to know that i'm currently vnc to home pc and chat with u...i'm at work now00:37
Phong_what is it00:38
Phong_let me install00:38
ActionParsnipPhong_: if you port forward port 8080 on your home router to the IP of the system running transmission you can connect from anywhere and manage your torrents00:38
Phong_ActionParsnip, i did have 8080 for my router remote as well ;)00:38
aaasPhong_ im not sure if there s free version of pocketcloud00:38
aaasPhong_ but its the best00:38
Jordan_Ubuddha_: There I will disagree with you. Grub shouold be installed to the mbr, not to a partition (it will not replace rEFIt as rEFIt is not stored in the mbr).00:38
Phong_what is the program call again?00:39
Phong_are you sure it is safe?00:39
Jordan_UOpinie: Is there any reason you don't just install Ubuntu to the macbook normally (via the installer)?00:39
aaasPhong_ if you only need to manage torrents. ActionParsnip there are lots of things that people need to do with their computers and not everything has a web interface00:39
aaasPhong_ http://www.wyse.com/products/software/pocketcloud/index.asp00:39
aaasPhong_ see if it's free00:39
ActionParsnipPhong_: then change the port of transmission's remote interface, it's all in transmission's settings00:39
OpinieJordan_U: err, it's been quite problematic due to various reasons. but before I go on raving about the problems, what do you mean via the installer? via a live cd?00:40
ActionParsnipaaas: true but 9 times of 10, VNC isn't needed00:40
Jordan_UOpinie: Yes.00:40
Phong_aaas, is pocketcoud connect to their service first then to ur pc ?00:40
aaasActionParsnip again it depends on the user... i couldn't live without rdp access 9/1000:40
OpinieJordan_U: the macbook's cd drive does not work00:40
Phong_if it is i dont like it00:40
aaasPhong_ no00:40
aaasPhong_ direct to your comptuer00:40
aaasPhong_ it's rdp00:40
Phong_ok good00:40
aaasPhong_ and maybe vnc too00:40
Phong_installed arleady00:41
Phong_now what00:41
aaasPhong_ go to windows and type 'remote desktop' in the command bar00:41
aaasPhong_ select 'select users who can use remote desktop'00:41
buddha_Jordan_U: if the system uses GTP partition table then yes you would want to install to ubuntu partition I believe00:42
Jordan_UOpinie: You will run into trouble trying to boot a normal Ubuntu USB as for some reason Apple's BIOS implementation doesn't support USB.00:42
=== RA_drc_ is now known as RA_drc
Phong_more secure?00:42
aaasPhong_ make sure 'allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop' is selected (for now)00:42
Phong_i need to add user then00:42
Jordan_Ubuddha_: No, even with GPT you want to install to the MBR (after creating a BIOS boot partition as an embedding area).00:42
aaasPhong_ we'll change it later, some clients needs the less secure00:42
Phong_ok00:42
aaasPhong_ yes make sure your vmware user has access00:43
OpinieJordan_U: with Refit you get around that. I've already successfully booted into ubuntu on the macbook. The problem now is to get the Ubuntu OS from the USB stick into a partition I've made on the macbook's internal HD00:43
buddha_Jordan_U: I sit corrected00:43
aaasPhong_ then connect your phone to wifi and try and connect to the ip00:43
Phong_less secure, do i need to add user?00:43
aaasPhong_ yes00:43
Phong_create 1?00:43
aaasPhong_ make sure your primary user has access00:43
aaasPhong_ the one using vmware00:43
Phong_aaas, slow down, let me create 1 user00:44
Phong_brb00:44
Jordan_UOpinie: Even with rEFIt I can only boot EFI based bootloaders from USB on my (fairly old now) macbook pro.00:44
aaasPhong_ sure00:44
Phong_aaas, can i give password to Adminstrator ?00:44
Phong_or create newe one00:44
aaasPhong_  who is the user you use most?00:45
OpinieJordan_U: But seriously, I already have Ubuntu running on the macbook from the USB. I just can't get the OS copied from USB into the HD00:45
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
aaasPhong_ the one that you setup vmware with00:45
Phong_i only log with admin00:45
Phong_lol00:45
Phong_normally i dont deal with user00:45
aaasPhong_ name is 'Administrator'?00:45
Phong_yeah00:45
aaasPhong_ oh jeez00:45
aaasPhong_ fine try it00:45
Phong_ok00:45

Dr_Willisim not even clear on what the core question/end goal is any more.00:46
Dr_Willisshayne:  you mean a video file to DVD iso converting program?00:46
Dr_Willissince anything can 'burn' an iso.. basically. :)00:46
buddha_Opinie: ok so you tried clonezilla? there are other ways but that is the easiest and most pain-free way I can think of.00:46
shaynea program that will convert and burn, something like nero?00:47
guhcamposIs there any way to force a device to stay on /dev?00:47

Opiniebuddha_: sorry, I had to do something else in the meanwhile00:47
guhcamposbut the device is created when I plug the HD to the usb, but after few seconds it disappears again00:47
Opiniebuddha_: hence it's taken so long00:47
ActionParsnipguhcampos: what is in the output of:  dmesg | tail00:48
Phong_aaas, done add ...less secure -> user  done00:48
aaasPhong_ now connect your phone TO WIFI and try and connect to your ip using pocketcloud00:48
Phong_ok00:48
Phong_brb00:48
aaasPhong_ use the ip of that machine..the WINDOWS ip not the vmware ip00:48
Dr_Willisguhcampos:  thats why ddrescue (or was it dd_rescue?) has a log feautre that you SHOULD be using.. if it disconnects.. you reboot, restart the rescue.. and hopefully it recovers some more befor it disconnects again.00:48
buddha_Opinie: no worries, just wanted to know if it failed.00:48
ActionParsnipguhcampos: use a pastebin if you want to share00:49
guhcamposDr_Willis, but it only lasts a few seconds, it's a 500GB HDD T_T00:49

guhcamposActionParsnip, it's on another computer, I can't really paste, but the last message is "reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd" followed by "device descriptor read/64 error -110"00:49
ActionParsnipguhcampos: ok find out what error -110 means00:50
muktiIs there a reason that the volume will not go to max by default? And how would I go about changing this?00:50
Phong_port?00:50
shaynebrasero always freezes up while trying to convert the file to dvd.00:50
Phong_aaas, port?00:50
guhcamposActionParsnip, but who is issuing error -110? Udev?00:50
aaasPhong_ it should be 3389 i think.. but it hsould be defaulted00:50
aaasPhong_ you shouldnt have to specify00:50
Phong_but i need to add to router then00:50
Phong_right?00:50
aaasPhong_ did you say you are at work?00:50
aaasPhong_ and your'e doing this work at home?00:51
Phong_yeah00:51
Phong_yes00:51
aaasPhong_ ah ok00:51
Phong_lol00:51
aaasPhong_ yes then you need to forward 338900:51
Jordan_UOpinie: So why don't you just run the installer from the LiveUSB?00:51
Phong_u sure windows listen to that port?00:51
aaasPhong_ if you have the service running yes00:51
Phong_ok bb let me add to router00:51
muktiIs it dangerous to put the volume past 100%?00:51
OpinieJordan_U: ironically, I can't boot a liveUSB installer on the macbook00:52
Dr_Willismukti:  not that ive ever noticed.. except for distortion.00:52
Dr_Willismukti:  and your hearing. :)00:52
ActionParsnipguhcampos: not sure, i'm sure websearches wil pull stuff up00:52
aaasPhong_ if this doesnt work you'll have to wait until you get home and test it behind the firewall00:52
guhcamposActionParsnip, I'm digging through it00:52
ActionParsnipmukti: not really no00:52
gregdayI have a 2TB drive I've been using for awhile, but I'm wiping it to use with mdadm and I'm having the weirdest error. I can fdisk just fine and create partitons, but no matter what I do, I cannot read or write sdb1. I can read/write the whole disk, and if I make two partitions, I can do whatever to sdb2, but not sdb1.00:52
Jordan_UOpinie: Can you boot a LiveUSB installer from a machine with a firewire port with the macbook in target disk mode?00:52
ActionParsnipmukti: +1 for distortion though, crank speakers rather than the app00:52
muktiDr_Willis: so is that the only reason that it is set that low? I only ask because I just opened up Sound Preferences for the first time and saw that 100% isn't the max volume...00:52
gregdayIf I try to mkfs on /dev/sdb1 I get "Error getting MD array info from /dev/sdb1"  Been using Linux for 12 years and never seen this.00:53
muktiActionParsnip: Well, I'm on a laptop00:53
gregdayCould by disk be failing?00:53
Dr_Willismukti:  you normally set the pc at like 75% - then use the speaker knob. :)00:53
muktiDr_Willis: I'm on a laptop though...00:53
Jordan_Ugregday: What is the exact command you are running? Can you pastebin the exact command and the entire output?00:53
Dr_Willismukti:  so? the actual question is? I missed it...00:53
OpinieJordan_U: I'd have to get a new firewire cable. I would have done that otherwise. Somehow Apple has managed to change the shape of its firewire ports, so the the firewire cable I have is inapplicable00:54
muktiDr_Willis: If I set my volume to 75%, I can't turn up the speakers lol00:54
Jordan_UOpinie: So how do you plan to get Ubuntu onto the macbook's hard drive?00:54
muktiDr_Willis: I was really just asking if it was dangerous to put the volume past the 100% mark.00:54
gregdayJordan_U:  http://pastebin.com/DDrTMjhV00:55
Dr_Willismukti:  how are you putting it past 100%?00:55
gregdayJordan_U:  mdadm --create  fails on this disk too.00:55
Phong_aaas, it's working00:55
gregdayJordan_U: But no error using fdisk to *create* sdb1. Just when I try to actually do anything with it.00:55
aaasPhong_ sweet: now you can connect and use any app on windows00:55
OpinieJordan_U: well buddha suggested that I boot the macbook using an USB that has clonezilla on it. With that – this is how I understood it – I should be able to copy the USB ubuntu partition to the partition I've made on the macbook's HD00:55
Phong_aaas, however, vnc start faster00:55
muktiDr_Willis: I opened sound preferences, and the 100% mark is not at the end of the volume bar00:56
aaasPhong_ AND if you run virtualbox in seemless mode you can run both at the same time00:56
Dr_Willismukti:  cant say that i ever noticed..00:56
aaasPhong_ maybe because it's not encrypted?00:56
Phong_aaas, oh00:56
aaasPhong_ you're also more secure00:56
Phong_aaas, i see. cause VNC faster..maybe less secure00:56
Phong_lol00:56
aaasPhong_ and you can connect from any other windows computer without downloading anything00:56
aaasPhong_ vnc is usually solw00:56
aaasPhong_ rdp is pretty fast00:56
Dr_Willisvnc may start faster.. but be slower to actually use. :)00:56
Jordan_Ugregday: The pastebin you just created is already the 7'th result in google for "Error getting MD array info from".00:57
gregdayJordan_U: I know, I've been searching too!00:57
muktiDr_Willis: http://i.imgur.com/4DFn6.png00:57
gregdayJordan_U:  I find it odd that I can write (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb) just fine, but writing to sdb1 fails.00:57
Phong_can it be lower color?00:57
gregdayJordan_U: And running badblocks on the disk returns no errors.00:58
aaasPhong_ if you like pocketcloud support them by buying the paid app because its a great app and i ahve got so much work done using it00:58
Phong_aaas, are you sure it is not goes thru their company right?00:58
Dr_Willisonce you write to sdb - you would delete the partion table.. thus you cant write to sdb1 after you write to sdb00:58
aaasPhong_ yes, its in the client00:58
aaasPhong_ certain00:58
gregdayDr_Willis: Oh, I'm recreating sdb1 in fdisk after trying that.00:58
gregdayDr_Willis: I'm not that stupid :)00:58
Phong_aaas, i like it connect directly ;)00:58

aaasPhong_ mess with the settings also all windows have a r'remote desktop' client00:58
aaasPhong_ you can change settings there too00:58
Dr_Willisgregday:  ive seen cases where you must reboot, or somehow reload the partition table or else the kernel uses the old table also.00:58
gregdayJordan_U: Nope, it fails. But if I make an sdb2 I can write to that00:58
gregdayDr_Willis: I did reboot also.00:58
Phong_aaas, what about for linux?00:59
Dr_Willisgregday:  hit it with a hammer... :)00:59

ZungoActionParsnip: do you remember me? i was the guy that was having frezzing troubles.01:33
JasonnActionParsnip: Do I have to restart sshd ?01:34
Jimmiobuddha_: Macs cannot boot from USB. I'm 95% sure.01:34
Dr_Willisbe easier to just totally disable his account.. but wait.. yoiu just said you 'couldent tell him to stop' but you basically are stopping him totally anyway...01:34
silverarrowurlin2u:  type in the first three letters or so of a nick then press tab01:34
psycho693jimmio you are correct they cant01:34
ActionParsnipJasonn: yes01:34
silverarrowurlin2u: auto nick filling sort of01:34
ZungoJasonn: run sudo service sshd restart01:34
urlin2usilverarrow, that is why when I talk to you it is red .01:34
Opiniebuddha_: the macbook did try to boot the clonezilla, but what I suspect to have been the clonezilla window just shortly flashed then went away and never returned.01:34
silverarrowurlin2u: fillin01:34
JasonnZungo: thanks :)01:34
Zungo:)01:35
Dr_Willisdoes ssh notice the config changes and restarts? a lot of services do that these days01:35
Zungomaybe01:35
JasonnZungo: sshd: unrecognized service01:35
Zungo:O01:35
DonaldKeyzi learn something new everytime i come here01:35
Dr_Willistab completion is our friend. :) sudo service ss<tab>01:35
silverarrowurlin2u, yes, always correctly addressed,01:35
Zungogo find sshd in ps then,  or reboot...01:35
Dr_Willisnot on a ubutu box right now.. so cant verify the name of the service01:36
Zungoor better, sudo init 301:36
Dr_Willissudo service status    will show it...01:36
Zungoand go back01:36
Jasonnok01:36
Zungoto 501:36
silverarrowurlin2u:  I  just noticed you didn't have the ":" that comes with the tab function, maybe it's just a quirk01:36
Dr_Willisbest is to learn the proper service name.. not mess with init command...01:36
Zungo:O01:36
Zungowhy?01:36
Dr_Willisbecause you dont need to restart ALL the services.. like init would do..01:37
Opiniebuddha_: something that I noticed was that Ubuntu seemed to be using a kind of i686 version of itself (I hope that makes some sense), so I thought I'd try to use the same version of clonezilla01:37
buddha_Opinie: yeah, I've never had any luck booting off school iMacs01:37
urlin2usilverarrow, yes I have been using the IRC for a long time and undertand01:37
Dr_Willistime to learn what the proper name is.. it maybe ssh, or sshd.01:37
milkhey all - i'm on 10.10 and looking to upgradee rtmpdump from 2.3 (what is in the repo) to the latest, 2.4, but i'm not sure how to go about it. any advice?01:37
rodhashGuys, what software you suggest to open a jpg or png file? When opening I can't copy the image to paste in another document.. : (01:37
buddha_Opinie: ok, I don't know if all macbooks were x64 or some where x8601:37
Opiniebuddha_: and I was successful in booting ubuntu01:37
buddha_live?01:38
Opiniebuddha_: ok, my macbook is quite ancient01:38
silverarrowurlin2u: I'm in pidgin right now, and the red text doesn't appear even when addressed to nick01:38
urlin2usilverarrow, not my fault lol.01:38
smokin40sHello everyone! I've been trying to find a way to disable gnome+compiz while launching a game so it runs better is this possible?01:38
Opiniebuddha_: no the OS I had installed on a USB stick01:38
ZungoInit runlevel meaning: 1=single, 3=nogui, 4=nogui+net, 5=X & def. Is that correct???01:39
silverarrowurlin2u:  definitely the pidgin guys lol01:39
Dr_Willissmokin40s:  you coyule change from compiz to metacity via commands/script.. but thts not 'disabling gnome'  - Unless you want to logout and log backinto a minimal desktop session.01:39
urlin2usilver never used it, I don't do an text or IM other then xchat on the irc.01:39
Dr_WillisZungo:  not in Ubuntu.01:39
buddha_Opinie: ah, hmmmm. well have you tried clonezilla for x8601:39
buddha_although I don't think they make another version01:40
urlin2usilverarrow, never used it, I don't do an text or IM other then xchat on the irc.01:40
Dr_Willis!runlevel | Zungo01:40
ubottuZungo: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.01:40
silverarrowurlin2u, xchat acted up the last two days, it has the red text function though01:40
=== Auriel_ is now known as Auriel
smokin40sso Dr_Willis metacity uses far less resources to run is that what you are sayin?01:41
Zungosmokin40s: just run killall compiz and killall unity and make sure you opened a term so you can run metacity&& gnome-panel. and better do not close that term01:41
Dr_WillisZungo:  2=3=4=501:41
Zungooh01:41
Dr_WillisZungo:  killing compiz may cause X to exit also...01:41
Opiniebuddha_: I don't think there is a version that is explicitly listed as being an x86 version, but is x86=amd64?01:41
bambanxguysfor what is used the hostname?01:41
Dr_Willissmokin40s:  if you wanted the max resources for a game, you could install some very minimal window manager. log into that. and then play the game,01:42
buddha_Opinie: no, x64 = amd64 and x86 = i686 roughly01:42
buddha_for our purposes anyway01:42
Opiniebuddha_: ok, I'm trying x86 now01:42
smokin40swould you suggest a good minimal window manager?01:42
Dr_Willissmokin40s:  dozens of them. try wmx, or icewm perhaps01:42
buddha_Opinie: sorry I don't mean to be confusing01:42
Opiniebuddha_: problem is figuring out which boot option is the clonezilla one. Refit seems to have trouble identifying the different options01:43
Dr_Willissmokin40s:  or jwm.01:43
Opiniebuddha_: no problem ;-)01:43
silverarrowurlin2u: advantage with pidgin, has different colored nicks01:43
smokin40sthank you so much for your help01:43
Zungoreally Dr_Willis? no, the session is gnome-session and compiz is a sub process01:43
qinsilverarrow: irssi have colors too!01:43
Zungoi already tested01:43
Dr_WillisZungo:  easier to do 'metacity --replace'01:43
Zungooh yep01:43
Zungobut killall unity is right01:43
gaelfxsilverarrow: pidgin also has very poor handling of large IRC rooms, such as this one01:43
Zungoso01:44
DanyWalkerhi guys, i have a problem01:44
DanyWalkeror a question01:44
silverarrowgelfx, i don't notice much difference except for the missing red text function ?01:44
gaelfxDanyWalker: have at it01:44
JimmioOkay. Bad news. Dell Dimension 3000 can boot my flash drive. Laptop can't. What should I do?01:44
Zungokillall unity&& metacity --replace&& gnome-panel01:44
DanyWalkeris possible add password to my zip file?01:44

silverarrowgaelfx: nick spell error01:45
DanyWalkerzip -p password archive.zip archivo.txt01:45
Zungooh01:45
buddha_Opinie: so from my little research session it looks like you might be able to boot the clonezilla if you use unetbootin. no guarantees though01:45
gaelfxsilverarrow: not a problem, not sure what you mean by red text function though01:45
Zungoumm then is an affirmation01:45
Opiniereally? I did install unetbootin onto the ubuntu01:45
silverarrowgaelfx: though I might not know the finer points of xchat01:45
Zungosmokin40s: use Blackbox01:46
silverarrowgaelfx, you know, address post with nick and it gets red in the receiver end01:46
buddha_Opinie: did you use unetbootin to install the clonezilla onto the other USB stick?01:47
* Zungo quits *01:47
gaelfxsilverarrow: I'm fairly certain that most any modern IRC client can highlight posts directed at you ;)01:47
Opiniebuddha_: no, I used my MBP to install the clonezilla into the other USB stick01:47
Opiniebuddha_: *onto01:47
Opiniebuddha_: I don't mind trying it with unetbootin though01:47
buddha_i would do that01:48
buddha_its worth a shot01:48
Opiniebuddha_: I can do that with ubuntu, can't I?01:48
silverarrowgaelfx: I'm in pidgin right now, I don't get any red highlighted text nick or no nick01:48
buddha_yep, just download the program (either from apt-get or unetbootin website) and away you go01:49
buddha_Opinie: disclaimer, I don't know if unetbootin is in the ubuntu repositories01:49
silverarrowgaelfx: though nicks are given different colors, so fairly easy to follow two or three people's conversation01:49
Opiniebuddha_: you need to add a repository to get it01:49
Opiniebuddha_: but I sorted that out already some hours ago01:50
buddha_ok01:50
Opiniebuddha_: err, after doing this I will still have to be able to boot into clonezilla, won't I?01:51
buddha_should do. use unetbootin to put clonezilla on the other USB01:52
buddha_it'll wipe the old install on the USB01:52
Opiniebuddha_: hmm, ok01:53
ferreiraHey ... look01:55
ferreirai'm surprise01:55
Opiniebuddha_: something odd I've noticed is that there's apparently a led in my computer's sound socket. it doesn't light up on mac os x, but it does on ubuntu01:55
ferreirapeoples use IRC01:55
Opiniebuddha_: … ubuntu works better than mac os x01:56

blahblahI recently bought a $250 Acer Aspire One laptop which came with Windows 7 Starter ALREADY installed on it.  I am trying to make a dual OS with Fedora and Windows.  This computer has no CD drive, so I had to make Fedora bootable from a USB flash drive.  The problem I have is that even after partitioning my hard drive with some software in Windows (resized the 250 GB HDD to 150 GB with the rest unallocated) I cannot install Fedora.02:08
blahblahThe Fedora graphical installer doesn't even list partitions, only the Hard drive and USB as hardware.  Keep in mind, I cannot just let it format the hard drive, because then I will lose the Windows which came with the laptop (no Windows install CD came with it because it has no CD drive).02:09

karmstActionParsnip I understand the concept of themes and I find some really interesting ones02:15
karmstbut how do you apply them?02:15

ActionParsnip!lamp | kolix not by default02:19
ubottukolix not by default: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)02:19
Jordan_Ukolix: The server install CD comes with packages for a LAMP stack on it. What you install depends on what options you choose in the installer ( "LAMP" being one option ).02:19

karmstchipotle you have to use sudo02:24
buddha_chipotle: sudo su to get to root. the passwd to change root password02:24
ActionParsnipbsmith093: sudo apt-get update    should do it, if there are any issues, pastebin the output please02:24
chipotleActionParsnip: are there any apps that make iptables firewall rules easy? i don't have time to configure iptables for him by scratch02:24
Polahchipotle: That shouldn't be done unless necessary. Not having a root password is more secure. Anything that is required to be run as root can be done through sudo on an account with appropriate privileges02:24
ActionParsnipbuddha_: please don't advise that02:24
karmstyou could edit the CALCs but it's just too much of a PIA to do02:24
buddha_surry bro02:25
karmstchipotle: sudo -i02:25
ActionParsnipbuddha_: its not necesary or advised.02:25
Polahbuddha_, chipotle: Shouldn't use sudo su. sudo <command> for individual commands, sudo -i to give an extended period root terminal02:25
buddha_if people want to do it that's their deal02:25
karmstthat will keep you in sudo without having to keep typing sudo in front of everything for the current terminal session02:25

SinghamHi..I want to convert a video in 320 x 420 resolution and in .asf format.Which converter is available ?02:25
buddha_ok sorry to hurt the newbie02:25
Polahchipotle: If there's a service listening on a port then that port should be automatically opened. iptables closes ports unless there's a service listening on them unless specifically told to keep them closed02:26
ActionParsnipSingham: handbrake, mencoder, ffmpeg02:26
chipmonkj #evince02:26

karmstwhat are you talking about Polah?02:26
karmstiptables is not automated02:26
karmstit just doesn't open a port until you specifically specify one02:27
muktikarmst: doesn't iptables block everything initially?02:27
Polahkarmst: Well no, not exactly, but ports are automatically closed unless there's a service listening on them02:27
karmstyes... it would be a real pain to have to disable 35000+ ports02:28

nuno_nuneshi02:31
Polahchipotle: Disagree with logging in as root? It's actually a very good security feature. Logging in as root allows that user to run anything they like and those applications to do anything they like to a system. Using sudo allows A) only authorised users to run certain commands as root and B) causes the user to think about what they're doing before actually running the command.02:31

hetecroIf there was a reliable way to read and write to one file system from all oses, I would use it03:38
theadminsumikan: You might find better help in #ubuntu-jp I think03:38
stealz_I am trying to store my password for conkyEmail in a keyring, but I dont know how to do that actually (Ubuntu, with conkykeyring isntalled) and google wasnt really helpful03:38
sumikan theadmin: thank you very much03:38
BILLYKANE sumikan,I am a chinese and use wqf font  on Pidin's IRC03:39
hetecroNtfs-3G has issues though, and you cannot move the user directory to it.03:39
hetecroDoes ubuntu run on hfs+?03:39
sumikanBILLYKANE:heh! so great! thanx :)03:39
theadminhetecro: Again, UNIX file permissions. No.03:39
BILLYKANE:)03:39
Jordan_Uhetecro: The only downside to ntfs for Ubuntu and OSX is that if you ever have a power outage or otherwise don't cleanly unmount the partition you will need to run chkdsk from Windows as neither OSX nor Ubuntu can fix ntfs.03:39
propmanhetecro:  this came through on one of my rss feeds (haven't used it yet so can't comment)  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/08/access-ext4-ext3-or-ext2-partitions-in.html03:39
Jordan_Uhetecro: No, Ubuntu uses ext4.03:40
anastasiswhats the deal with channels that have 550 members but their is noone in the rooms. Are all these people logged in but no one is looking at their irc window?03:40
theadminhetecro: You can install on ext2-4, maybe some other unix-compatible filesystem03:40
hetecroHm, it installed for me on ext303:40
theadminanastasis: Some just log in to read the messages when they come back03:40
xanguaanastasis: normally that is how it is03:40
Jordan_Uhetecro: You can make your Documents directory a symlink to a directory on your ntfs partition without issue. You won't have unix permissions for that directory, but you don't really need them in most cases (for Documents).03:41
JoeR1anastasis, Yes that happens a lot but you don't want to talk about that in here or the ops will get on you.03:41
hetecroHfs+ is unix compatible, I thought. OSx is built on the Debian framework03:41
anastasiscool03:41
Jordan_Uhetecro: No, OSX is not built on Debian.03:41
theadminhetecro: OSX is BSD-based03:41
Jordan_Uhetecro: Ubuntu can't write to journaled hfs+.03:42

wifiwontworkflodline do you know of anyways to determine if the kernel is causing problems with usb device?03:44
flodinewifiwontwork all you can do it try it bro and if it dont work fall back to old kernel.03:45
wifiwontworkflodline i think i did...says I installed new ndiswrapper and broadcom wireless...strange03:46

Corruptcomquestion --  best b/w laser printer with drivers for full use features.03:48
rabbi1anastasis: #phpmyadmin, ##mysql03:48
theadminhetecro: Answer is you can't, just can't put your entire user directory on another filesystem. A part of the directory, sure03:48

hetecroJust pics, music, videos, downloads. . .03:49
hetecroYes, that's what I want03:50
wifiwontworkanyway thanks for the help flodline...03:50

talntid2thetrav, you have to re-make them.03:51
hetecroYes, but Fat32 does not work for me, I have plenty of files over 2gb03:51

anastasisI have been given a login to a phpmyadmin at mysql.websitesettings.com, when I login I see that I am able to administer a database. Basically the person who gave me this is looking for someone to reconstitute the site that this DB used to administer. I see that I can import/export the DB but it seems this DB is only half the story, arent their other files I would need to reconstitute the site?... In this site I am looking at a DB host03:51
anastasised on some server and I assume the web site host server is on some other server and somehow pointed at the DB. I need to 1>DOwnload the DB and files associated so that I have a complete archive of the site.  Do I need access to the web server portion of this equation to do that or is the DB enough somehow. THanks and rabbi1 for the channels. sorry so long.03:51
talntid2a created a bash script to go through and change them... heh03:51
flodinewifiwontwork i didnt do anything about to install 3.0 myself03:52
Jordan_Uhetecro: Use ntfs.03:52
hetecroBut when you use certain programs, they (by default) point to your *registered* directories for docs03:52
hetecroIs there any way to use the console to change the default location?03:53
theadminhetecro: Yeah, well, it's just in their settings. If those folders are links, they'll point to the link location03:53
hetecroAh! I see03:53
make7upursHow can I completely clear my EFI along with any hybrid MBR on my macbook pro. I want to reinstall ubuntu but Im not even able to access the live cd or even access grub...any suggestions?03:53

make7upursI've erased all partitions involved with ubuntu03:54
wifiwontworkflodline lol...you helped me walk myself through the problem03:54

hetecroThat's why I dont like fat3203:54
wifiwontworkflodline what are you upgrading from?03:55

hetecroA 20 minute clip of 4k footage takes up several GB03:58

GhostFreemanis this 4k footage in REDCODE?03:58
hetecroYes it is.03:58
make7upurs@Jordan_U no I used i8603:58
hetecro.r3d files03:58
theadminpedahzur: As for Kubuntu, apt-get remove pulseaudio should just do it03:59
ActionParsniphetecro: the file extensiopn means nearlynothing in Linux, the data is looked at to determina what it is, not the extension.03:59
zykotick9theadmin, "GNOME requires Pulse to work" isn't correct - ALSA works just fine for Gnome in other distros03:59
hetecroI have a short film Im currently working with that is ~55GB in size03:59
theadminzykotick9: Oh, right, that's a GNOME3 thing. Sorry.03:59
theadminzykotick9: My mistake03:59
ActionParsniphetecro: so saying ".r3d files" doesn't hold much weight03:59
ActionParsniptheadmin: lubuntu doesn't use pulse ;)03:59
theadminActionParsnip: lol nice04:00
silverarrowwhat then ?04:00
hetecroWell, nonetheless, I use all three systems, but doing what I do for a living makes communication between them incredibly slow04:00
pedahzurtheadmin: What is the best thing to install in its place?  ALSA? OSS4?04:00
sublim21by chance, anyone familiar with a usenet program for ubuntu that will not only parse nzbs, but also autopar and unzip?  i've been googling and came across pan ->http://pan.rebelbase.com/faq/#General1 reading the faqs now thought04:00
sublim21suggestions are appreciated.04:00
theadminpedahzur: Wouldn't suggest to use OSS, but ALSA is good04:00
make7upursJordan_U: I used the 32bit i386 version04:01
ActionParsnippedahzur: alsa is tried and tested04:01
make7upursJordan_U: I was able to boot into ubuntu succesfully previously04:01
zykotick9pedahzur, PulseAudio actually requires ALSA to work - these are NOT alternatives to one another.  Removing Pulse from Ubuntu is "probably" a bad idea, in my opinion.04:01
Jordan_Umake7upurs: Try this http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64%2bmac.iso04:01
hetecroWhat about a network drive? Network drives dont give 2 poops about filesystem04:01
hetecroRunning on GB Ethernet here, would that be faster?04:02
ActionParsniphetecro: true, the kernel and the sharing service handle it all04:02
hetecroWould that be faster than using a shared filesystem like Fat?04:02
=== caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log
ActionParsniphetecro: doubt the file access time would be faster over lan with fat rather than something decent04:03
pedahzurtheadmin: zykotick9: I understand that it's "probably" a bad idea, but when you can't get your USB headset to work despite EVERYTHING you've tried, you get desperate. It's really frustrating when the device shows up in the PulseAudio device list, but it won't make it available as a recording device.04:03

hetecroI mean, if the network drive is formatted as ext4 or ntfs04:04
theadminhylian: /network add freenode -autosendcmd "/nick yournick ; /msg nickserv identify password"04:04
hetecroWould it be faster than having a partition of ntfs or fat04:04
theadminhylian: And then: /server add -network freenode irc.freenode.net04:04
hyliantheadmin: thank you, i'll try that now...04:04
flodinewifiwontwork why are you trying to update the kernel bro?04:05
ActionParsnipheckman: if its local then it will be a lot faster04:06
ActionParsniphetecro: ^04:06
theadminhylian: You can also use /msg nickserv identify NICKNAME PASSWORD to use a nickname different from the account name04:06
hetecroHm. . . Perplexing04:07
hyliantheadmin: good advice, I am going to try this now, brb, thanks again04:07
wifiwontworkflodline I was getting kernel panics when using my rtl8187, fairly heavily. Although I was never able to connect to the net, i was at one point able to ping out but now can't even ping04:07
hetecroOk. New question04:07
ActionParsniphetecro: storing on a lan storage is handy if you use multiple OSes though, also makes backups easier as there is only one copy04:08
Lesterwoodguys, for linux desktop, what runlevel does the system usually start on04:08
theadminLesterwood: 504:08
Lesterwoodfull multiuser?04:08
theadminLesterwood: Ubuntu doesn't have runlevels04:08
theadminLesterwood: But in normal Linux systems, X = 504:08
Lesterwoodah04:08
Lesterwoodwhy not?04:08
theadmin!upstart | Lesterwood04:09
ubottuLesterwood: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/04:09
flodinewifiwontwork ok well one of those newer kernel will work bro04:09
zykotick9!runlevels | Lesterwood04:09
ubottuLesterwood: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.04:09
hetecroIn my apartment, I am stuck with wifi, I have my mac pro set up in all three oses to serve the internet connection a wireless N router04:09

hetecroIt goes in the wifi and out the Ethernet port to the rest of the computers in the house04:10
pedahzurtheadmin, zykotick9: Sorry if you messaged me...my client disconnected.04:10
hyliantheadmin: still had to manually set the nick, and msg the nickserv my pass, but i was able to connect to freenode without typing the whole address... :)04:10
ActionParsnip05:02 < hetecro> Running on GB Ethernet here, would that be faster?04:10
pedahzurtheadmin: zykotick9: I understand that it's "probably" a bad idea, but when you can't get your USB headset to work despite EVERYTHING you've tried, you get desperate. It's really frustrating when the device shows up in the PulseAudio device list, but it won't make it available as a recording device.04:10
hetecroI do, using the router04:10
wifiwontworkflodline I hope so...this 3.0.0.7 install hasnt04:10
theadminhylian: You did the /server add thing, right?04:10
ActionParsniphetecro: so if you are stuck with wifi, that's not ethernet... I'm confused04:10
hetecroThe computer acts as an internet bridge o the router with both wifi and GB Ethernet04:11
hyliantheadmin: i can try again. i did do it... maybe i flubbed it.04:11
xFxshell free please04:11
theadminxFx: You want a shell account? Try Anapnea04:12
ActionParsniphetecro: i see04:12
wifiwontworkflodline which kernel are you installing?04:12
hetecroUnfortunately, since the computer must be connected to the receiving port of the router, it cannot be networked with the computers on the other side04:12
hyliantheadmin: i also like sdf.lonestar.org, good people over there, running fairly old but reliable unix servers.04:12
flodinewifiwontwork im not im going to be happy all is working on both laptop.are you on a dell?04:13
theadminhylian: Well, Anapnea has a friendly community, and a TON of development tools... Besides, the only shell provider I found that has Finch04:13
hetecroThe computer has two Ethernet ports on the back, but if I connect one to the RX and the other to on if the four TX, a technical paradox occurs and the internet bridge no longer works04:13

kolixI just installed Ubuntu Server....but forgot to install the recoomended packages04:45
kolixhow do i reinstall these packages from the terminal?04:45
bakertry it when you get the chance04:45
kolixdoes Ubuntu Server come with a GUI?04:45
bakerattj04:45
Jordan_Unitetrip: Ethernet cards are almost always supported out of the box. Do you see an ethernet interface in "ifconfig"?04:45
gaelfxkolix: no04:45
gaelfxkolix: you can install one if you want to though04:45
kolixok04:45
nitetripJordan_U, not for this card unfortunately. I have 2 nics installed but only an eth004:46
kolixgaelfx: I forgot to install LAMP, openSSH, and Tomcat from the options menu04:46
bakeractionparnsnip are you using the latest ubuntu?04:46
Jordan_Ukolix: sudo tasksel04:46
kolixhow can i install these from terminal?04:46
kolixok I'll try that04:46
kolixone more quick question04:46
gaelfxkolix: you can use Taskel to install LAMP, apt-get to install OpenSSH and I don't know about tomcat04:46
kolixmy terminal cuts off at the bottom, how do i scroll down?04:47
gaelfx*tasksel haha04:47
bakerwhy not use file zilla for oppen ssh04:47
ActionParsnipbaker: I'm using oneiric throughout04:47
theadminkolix: You can normally scroll with pageup/pagedown keys if scroll lock is on04:47
need_susehey guys, I need help. I have ubuntu 11.04 on my computer and I would like to switch to OpenSUSE KDE. How do I create a live usb running opensuse on ubuntu?04:47
gaelfxkolix: there's a handy guide about installing LAMP on the ubuntu help documentation04:47
ActionParsnipbaker: use TAB to autocomplete names04:47
theadminneed_suse: Unetbootin04:47
theadminneed_suse: But honestly that's more of a SUSE question04:47
need_suse@theadmin, doesn't work04:48
ActionParsniptheadmin: the OS installed currently is Ubuntu, just wants to use a Suse ISO with it04:48
theadminneed_suse: You can also simply: sudo dd if=somefile.iso of=/dev/sdz # sdz = your usb stick.04:48
bakerThat a OS Im a bit of a newb04:48
ActionParsnipneed_suse: could try usb-creator04:48
Polahkolix: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server openssh-servers tomcat604:48
ActionParsnipneed_suse: can you expand on "doesn't work", it doesn'ty help a lot04:48
UoUeAaActionParsnip: how can i see the kernel im using?04:49
Jordan_Utheadmin: Are you sure SuSe supports being dd'd to a drive? Most isos don't.04:49
ActionParsnipbaker: yes it's the pre-release04:49
ActionParsnipUoUeAa: uname -a04:49
need_suseActionParship, it only works for ubuntu based OS04:49
theadminJordan_U: I know Fedora does... And I'm pretty certain SuSE did too, but I'm not 100% sure04:49
kolixare thoese what come with the default installation of ubuntu server 11.0404:49
bakeranother new ubuntu project?04:49
bakerbeta04:49
theadminJordan_U: Yep, it does04:49
theadminJordan_U: 11.04 does at least04:49
bakerwhat do you mean TAB not autfiling04:50
ActionParsnipneed_suse: could try th 1 2 3 app from pendrivelinux if you have a windows system around04:50
Jordan_Uneed_suse: Unetbootin supports OpenSuSe, Ubuntu's "USB Startup Disk Creator" does not (and is not Unetbootin).04:50
theadminJordan_U: Err, 11.404:50
ActionParsnipbaker: no, its the next release of ubuntu, do some websearching and you'll see exactly what it is04:50
Polahkolix: I know openssh-server is the default SSH server and a standard LAMP stack is Apache, MySQL and PHP5.04:50
need_suseJordan_U, Unetbooting only supports OpenSUSE 11.1!!04:50
bakerthats what i was talking about a new ubuntu lol04:51
kolixok guys, im kind anew to ubuntu04:51
bakerits a beta or a leak reslease04:51
Polahneed_suse: unetbootin allows you to select a pre-downloaded ISO as well04:51
gaelfxPolah: tasksel is a much easier way to install LAMP04:51
bakerthat you are using04:51
bakeractionparsnip04:51
Polahgaelfx, tasksel?04:51
ActionParsnipbaker: its the alpha release, its not beta til 4th Sept, its not leaked at all04:51
UoUeAaActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677700/04:51
theadminneed_suse: You can do the dd thing I suggested04:52
need_susePolah, Unetbooting doesn't have the latest version of opensuse04:52
theadminneed_suse: It's sure to work04:52
bakerlol first release whatever man04:52
ActionParsnipUoUeAa: why do I need that?04:52
gaelfxkolix: Polah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP04:52
Polahneed_suse, it doesn't have the latest Ubuntu either. Download the ISO and select that from unetbootin04:52
UoUeAaActionParsnip: do you think the patch at the end of this might work, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=420721&page=704:52
ActionParsnipbaker: try researching, the web will answer your questions easily and free me up to help people with more technical questions04:52
Jordan_Uneed_suse: Using the disk image option might work, but that is more of a question for #suse.04:52
need_susePolah, I tryed that before.04:52
kolixguys i'm at command prompt again04:53
theadminneed_suse: Do the dd thing, seriously, it works fine according to their wiki04:53
kolixi can't get to user@hostname04:53
Polahkolix: What do you mean you can't get to it?04:53
UoUeAaActionParsnip: it's ubuntu_2.6.24-21_tifm_ms.patch.zip, and my kernel is http://paste.ubuntu.com/677700/04:53
need_susetheadmin, how do I do it? I'm not a pro at the terminal04:53
kolixthe last words in terminal are this04:53
bakerActionparsnip is natty more stable04:54

bakerwhat about plymouth ishues with res on boot and shutdown?04:54
Polahkolix: When you first log in? Perhaps give it a few moments to show up04:54
ActionParsnipUoUeAa: the kernel version is different so not sure. Have you tried Oneiric liveCD to test there?04:54
ActionParsnipbaker: depends on video chip and used driver04:54
UoUeAaActionParsnip: what is that?04:55
ActionParsnipbaker: I'm not very interested in plymouth, as long as I get my login screen, what happens before that is of no consequence to me04:55
Hot2Trotcan someone help me with the blasted 'find' command, i swear it just don't work on my computer04:55
theadminHot2Trot: Huh?04:55
PolahHot2Trot: What are you trying to find, apart from help?04:56
theadminHot2Trot: The syntax is simple, "find directory" is the basic idea04:56
ActionParsnipUoUeAa: its the next release of ubuntu, it has a different kernel which may make it work04:56
Hot2TrotI run simple 'find '*summer*'' in my hoome directory, and in my /home/me/downloads/ there is a xxxxxsummer.pdf04:56
Hot2Trotand it just hangs forever04:56
theadminHot2Trot: That's not the way you do it04:56
theadminHot2Trot: You want: find ~ -iname '*summer*'04:56
Hot2Trotoh sorry, i pu the -name flag though04:57
Hot2Trotis the currect directory not automatic?04:57
theadminHot2Trot: Nope04:57
theadminHot2Trot: You can use . for current directory04:57
Polahtheadmin: What's the ~ for in that find command?04:57
kolixok guys walek me through this again real quick04:57
ssargenntothis isnt a strictly ubuntu based question i guess. but does anybody know a good yahoo messenger alternative to gyache or pidgin? is there another?04:57
UoUeAaActionParsnip: i don't wanna change the LTS, thanks for your help friend.04:58
Hot2Trottheadmin: ok, other quick, what if I want to exclude symbolic links?04:58
bakerwell my mobo graphics card is not that bad i got hdmi,vga and dmi plugins. Not really a pc gamer04:58

gaelfxkolix: are you sure it's not a screen resolution issue?05:01
kevin_Does anyone use the Emerald theme manager in here?05:01
kolixloged me out05:01
Hot2Trottheadmin: thanks very much05:01
Polahkolix: Or you can install them all individually like I said earlier, sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server tomcat6 openssh-server libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-auth-mysql05:02
theadminHot2Trot: -type specifies filetypes to search for: f = file, d = directory, l = link05:02
kolixPolah, I'm not that advanced05:02
ActionParsnipkevin_: emerald is 3 years dead05:02
kolixI just forgot to select the packages when i had the option during installation05:02
kevin_well what do you use for a theme manager?05:02
kolixI don't have one05:03
ActionParsnipkevin_: openbox05:03
theadminkevin_: Compiz, mostly05:03
theadminkevin_: I use xf4wm here05:03
Polahkolix: Just run that command, it'll install them all and then you can configure as necessary. In fact, do this: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server tomcat6 openssh-server libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-auth-mysql && sudo a2enmod php5 && sudo service apache2 restart05:03
kolixi want the terminal to scroll automatically05:03
kevin_ok... So then how do you apply the theme?05:03
kolixi have to figure out this terminal issue first ^.^05:03
gaelfxkolix: if you're going to be using server edition, using sudo apt-get install is the most basic thing you'll be doing on it05:03
theadminkolix: Make sure scroll lock is off05:03
raj-darkmysteryone quick-question.. what command will show me the output of all the commands ran by all users in last 5 days?05:04
ActionParsnipkevin_: apply what theme?05:04
bakerpain and the ask if you ask me why not stay simple?05:04
baker;)05:04
kolixok05:05
JouvaSo I've been pulling my hair out trying to boot from a USB flash drive on a first gen MacBookPro w/ the 11.04 install/live image. I have no external optical drive so I can't use that, and my internal one is broken so my only option to do this right now is use the flash drive. And the various instructions I've seen don't help me.05:05
kolixhey guys, when ever i press alt + f1, f2 etc... the tty number changes05:05
kolixwhat is this?05:05
ActionParsnipJouva: did you MD5 test the ISO you transferred?05:05
magnushi05:05
theadminkolix: The TTY number...05:05
kevin_Jouva get unetbootin05:05
kolixwhat does it mean?05:05
kevin_it will create a bootable flash drive installer for you05:05
theadminkolix: TTYs are consoles, from 1 to 7, accessible by Ctrl+Alt+F{1-7}05:05
Jouvakevin_: Wiki says it only makes one that's bootable for WINDOWS05:06
kevin_nope it will do both05:06
JouvaOh ok lemme check that out05:06
kolixok cool05:06
Polahkolix: You have several TTYs available for use by default. You can log on as different users on each one simultaneously.05:06
kolixthanks05:06
kolixcool05:06
Jouvakolix: Think of them as like virtual desktops in text mode05:06
theadminkolix: If you want to run several terminal programs at the same time, consider getting "tmux" or "screen"05:06
ActionParsnipJouva: it will work with crappy macs05:06
bakerjouva try a youtube video05:06
bakeror something05:06
theadminkolix: Using TTYs for that normally makes no sense05:06
Polahtheadmin, kolix: I believe screen comes by default05:06
kolixdo i need to be root to apt-get?05:07
Polahkolix: Yes, use sudo05:07
gaelfxkolix: generally, yes05:07
kolixi didn set a root password05:07
JouvaYou don't05:07
gaelfxkolix: it's the password of the first account you made05:07
theadminPolah: Not sure about that, am not an Ubuntu user for a long time05:07
Polahkolix: prepend commands with sudo and enter your own, provided the account is an administartor05:07
ActionParsnipkolix: use sudo and when asked for a password, use your login password05:08
Polahtheadmin: I remember finding it on my old install and I didn't remember installing it. Maybe I did and forgot05:08
kolixok thanks guys05:08
Jouvakolix: sudo lets you run apps under your user as root, provided that user is permitted to use sudo, which the initial user you create is allowed to by default05:08
kolixthanks for your patience ^.^05:08
raj-darkmysteryguys anyone knows? what command will show me the output of all the commands ran by all users in last 5 days?05:08
Hot2Trotis there some standard flag or option to use to make something open without keeping the asosciated virtual terminal open as well?05:09
kolixcool thanks05:09
ActionParsnipHot2Trot: use ALT+F205:09
kolixhow do i figure out this reolution situation?05:09
ActionParsnipHot2Trot: the parent process needs to be running for it's children to keep running05:09
ActionParsnipraj-darkmystery: you can use the history command to see a list of executed commands, not sure about the age though05:10
gaelfxHot2Trot: I think you can use nohup to do that05:10
PolahHot2Trot: If you're multiple programs in a terminal, like someone said before you can get 'screen' which runs several virtual screens in a single terminal which you can move between and run various commands in. Of course, if you kill the entire terminal then they'll all die.05:10
dsnydersHi all!  Is there a way of selecting two windows and tiling them?05:10
Jouvakevin_: the unetbootin page says it will only boot on Windows even if you use the Mac version05:11
Hot2TrotPolah: I am familiar with screen, so you're saying I can open a screen, runt he command, detach from the screen, and I'll still see the gui going?05:11
ActionParsnipdsnyders: are you using compiz?05:11
Polahdsnyders: Compiz can automatically tile windows if you drag them to the left or right of your screen05:11
raj-darkmysteryActionParsnip, history will show me the commands from a single user only... how I can check the commands ran by all users in an system?05:11
kevin_Jouva are you trying to install ubuntu or run it live?05:11
bakeractionparsnip  program  to burn iso on ubuntu?05:11
dsnydersActionParsnip, maybe.  I'm not sure.05:11
JouvaInstall it05:11
ActionParsnip!burner | baker05:11
ubottubaker: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto05:11
PolahHot2Trot: Hmm, I don't know about a GUI continuing to show. The program should continue to run in the terminal. Perhaps try and find out?05:11
ActionParsnipdsnyders: do you use desktop effects?05:11
dsnydersActionParsnip, my windows are "rubbery when I move them"05:12
kevin_from OSX right?05:12
Hot2TrotPolah: just did, it does05:12
Hot2TrotPolah: curiouser and curiouser05:12
ActionParsnipdsnyders: good enough, drag a window to the side and it will snap like in Win7 etc05:12
JouvaI'm trying to install it and keep OSX05:12
PolahHot2Trot: Good to know (:05:12
gaelfxdsnyders: that's Desktop Effect :D05:12
gaelfx*Effects05:13
bakerdsnyders your just getting started man or your somking some funking shiz05:13
dsnydersActionParsnip, So they'll snap but I'd still have to resize them manually?05:13
Polahdsnyders: They'll snap to half the width of your screen by default I believe05:14
Jouvakevin_: Yeah, I'm trying to install it and keep OSX, but a lot of things imply it's best to do it with a CD and not flash drive cause it's a pain, and I can see that05:14
bakerwhy not just double click top bar on window05:14
bakeropens to full like windows05:14
PolahJouva: Using a CD or USB gives you the same Live session and outcome. The only difference is the method used to start the Live session05:14
gaelfxJouva: maybe if you make a persistent Flash drive, but other than that, it should be essentially the same05:14
dsnydersbaker, I want two windows each half filling the screen.05:15
JouvaPolah: Have you successfully booted a MacBookPro from a Live version of Ubuntu via a USB flash drive?05:15
PolahJouva: I can't say I have05:15
kolixguys, my terminal is cutting off the last 4 lines, so i can see the current position in my terminal05:16
JouvaPolah: Yeah. It's a Mac. So it likes to do things its own way and get in the way with everything :P05:16
kolixhow can i fix this?05:16
bakeryou need compiz settings manager05:16
magnusI need help on one thing, I am reeding on a guid on ubuntu.com and i wonder when its says "<Directory /home/user/public_html/>" will "user" be my user name or shall i just write user?05:16

dsnydersActually, I'm looking for a two paned file gui manager05:16
bakeras i can reamemer there was one like that windows 7 thing05:17

sublim21can someone help a new guy  to ubuntu follow this guide?http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16974905:18
Jouvagaelfx: That's not the problem. The problem is getting it to both recognize the USB flash drive as a bootable device AND getting it to properly start the boot process05:18
gaelfxman, I'm glad I never bought another Mac after college05:19
asdjaputray?05:19
kolixok fixed that problem05:19
kolixnow i just have a ">" at terminal, how do i get out of this?05:19
Jouvagaelfx: And it's all a matter of how the flash drive is setup. The Wiki claims the proper way is to basically change the .iso into an img/dmg file, and dd that file to the flash drive as raw data for the partition05:19
magnushello can I please get some help?05:19
asdjaputra!ask | magnus05:19
ubottumagnus: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)05:19
magnusI tryed :P05:20
Jouvakolix: It sounds like you hit a ' or ` or some other opening quote/parenthesis/whatever. Try just hitting ctrl-c05:20
asdjaputramagnus what is it?05:20
dsnyders... maybe a gui version of Midnight Commander05:21
kolixlol that worked05:21
kolixthanks05:21
kolixok, now how do i get a GUI on ubuntu server05:21
asdjaputrakolix, why would you?05:22
Polahkolix: For a production server, not recommended. Eats resources that would be better spent for apache or such like05:22
magnusI'm reeding on a guide on ubuntu on the following link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP, it says "Change the DocumentRoot to point to the new location. For example, /home/user/public_html/" will the user be my username or shall i write user05:22

asdjaputrasublim21, tar -zxvf <name>.tar.gz05:23
asdjaputrasublim21, ./configure; make; make install05:24
Polahsublim21, you don't. It's a type of archive, use tar -xvz to gunzip and untar it and then you'll be left with a directory of whatever was in the archive05:24
sublim21asdjaputra: i tried that but nothing happens05:24
sublim21wait, didn't try that05:24
kolixPolah, can you give me the commands to install LAMP again?05:24
Polahkolix: Just run that command, it'll install them all and then you can configure as necessary. In fact, do this: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server tomcat6 openssh-server libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-auth-mysql && sudo a2enmod php5 && sudo service apache2 restart05:24

asdjaputrasublim21, what's the name of the folder inside that tar.gz?05:32
chavosublim21: you have to cd into the new folder05:32
Polahkolix: Yes, I just installed it and there's a fairly long list of them, requires some scrolling05:32
kolixoo..how do you scroll?05:32
Polahkolix: You could reinstall tasksel or just do it manually like I did05:32
sublim21asdjaputra: there's no folder.  just that file.  if i double click nothing opens up in the archive viewer05:33
Polahkolix: Keep pressing down/up on the arrow keys after you get to the bottom of the list05:33
asdjaputrasublim21, what file?05:33
ssargenntoActionParsnip, thanks just installed kopete, will give empathy a try also05:33

need_suseHay guys it's me again, How to I put a OpenSUSE Image into a usb stick to install it later using ubuntu?05:33
Polahglebihan: He wants tomcat and openssh-server as well, tasksel just gave him an easy way to select and install all of them rather than my list of three commands and half a dozen packages05:34
ActionParsnipsublim21: surely using the repos is better? Its a later version and is already packaged..05:34
sublim21natty is the distro im  running on05:34
asdjaputrasublim21, that's called version05:34
sublim21ActionParsnip: and in english for us 'newbies'05:34
roothorickokay, seriously05:34
Polahneed_suse: Get the ISO, use unetbootin to install it onto the usb stick05:34
ActionParsnipsublim21: use apt-get or software centre etc05:34
glebihanPolah, I was just mentioning that apt-get handles tasks just as well as tasksel05:34
sublim21apt-get hellanzb?05:35
roothorickhow do I stop Pulse from screwing with my mixer? It doesn't know what it's doing and I DON'T have the patience to wait for a bugfix05:35
ActionParsnipneed_suse: remember to MD5 test the ISO05:35
asdjaputrawell sublim21 you got the right manual page05:35
asdjaputratar -zxvf ungzip it.05:35
Polahglebihan: Doesn't tasksel just download the packages using apt-get or aptitude anyway and just gives an easy way of selecting a specific group of packages?05:35
need_susePolah, for the last time, Unetbooting isn't up to date!!! It doesn't have the latest versions of opensuse05:35
kolixhmm unmet dependencies05:35
glebihanPolah, that's right, and apt-get does the same when you use "^" at the end05:36
sublim21asdjaputra: that doesn't work05:36
sublim21on a sidenote, when i run sudo apt-get install python-dev python-twisted unrar par2  i get a message at the end letting me know 6 were'nt updated05:36
Polahneed_suse: Like I said, download the image from the internet and then in unetbootin there is an option to select an existing disk image to use. You aren't restricted to just unetbootin's list of avaiable images05:36
gaelfxneed_suse: you can use any .iso you've downloaded with unetbootin05:36
asdjaputrasublim21, sudo apt-get update05:37

Polahroothorick: remove pulse or use pasuspender to launch the program and suspend pulse?05:38

sublim21but i still can't get the stupid program installed.  im sorry for not understanding05:38

asdjaputradecio_, md5sum is something to check the integrity (health) of your ISO, you can find one at it's official website (ubuntu?)05:59
asdjaputraglebihan, idk either, but it's still there05:59

glebihanmagnus, sorry I mistyped, there's no space between the "-p" and the password06:09
decio_asdjaputra, the file too06:09

roothorickmagnus, glebihan: Yeah, I just tried it on my server. "mysql -u root -p" produces a password prompt, which is probably a bit safer06:11

ActionParsnipunguest: it works on all my hardware, I dont have a PC strong enough to run Windows 706:12
asdjaputrawithout quotes06:12
glebihanroothorick, it may depend on some configuration on the server then, I don't get the prompt here06:12
asdjaputraand it has to be in the same folder as the ISO is06:12
ActionParsnipunguest: I dont need to pay for an OS as Ubuntu does all I need06:12
unguestActionParsnip at least you're broke. that's alright.06:12

bazhangunguest, thats enough06:13
decio_asdjaputra, it keeps saying the same06:13
glebihanroothorick, but you're right, that's the expected behavior, there's something weird there06:13
asdjaputradecio_, let's take it to #suse06:13
CiscoGeekdoes anyone know what dual monitor mode allows you to select the second monitor as primary?06:13
calmpitbullneed help im in grub rescue06:13
unguestbazhang i'd say that's plenty enough.06:13
CiscoGeektwin view?06:13
bazhangunguest, please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic06:14
unguestoh, there's one06:14
roothorickokay so, serious question, what is PulseAudio supposed to do for Ubuntu that ALSA can't?06:14
unguestwill surely do, thank you kind stranger06:14
roothorickI'd wager, the whole list, is stuff I couldn't get Pulse to do06:14
calmpitbullI need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what06:15
ActionParsniproothorick: go crazy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_audio06:15
calmpitbullI need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what06:15
roothorickActionParsnip: I'm more interested specifically in why Ubuntu has gone to using Pulse by default06:16
hetecroWhat is the closest distro to MacOSX? Im getting frustrated with having to google everytime I install something not in the repo06:16
calmpitbullI need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!06:17
Thelmariahetecro: If I remember right, OS X has a BSD base, but that was a fair time ago, it's deviated a fair bit from any distro I know of.06:17
ActionParsnipcalmpitbull: have some patience child06:17
ActionParsnipjeses06:17
ActionParsniproothorick: not sure, never had an issue with it06:18
asdjaputrageezus -rwj06:18
roothorickhetecro: I rarely have to install anything not in the repo... and when I do I know SPECIFICALLY what I'm looking for and what website to get it at...06:18
hetecroThat was somewhat of a joke, but what is the most user friendly environment06:18
calmpitbullActionParsnip:  lost my calm today06:18
sublim21asdjaputra: alright.  i think i installed it right06:19
asdjaputrasublim21, can you configure it?06:19
sublim21but im not sure.  when i type in hellanzb i get back the following error message: hellanzb v0.13 (config = /etc/hellanzb.conf, C yenc module)06:19
sublim21Couldn't listen on 127.0.0.1:8760: [Errno 98] Address already in use.06:19
sublim21Exiting: FatalError'>: Cannot bind to XML RPC port, is another hellanzb queue daemon already running?06:19
sublim21but yes.  i did configure it to the best of my knowledge06:20
roothorickhetecro: I've been _VERY_ impressed with the Unity setup in Natty. Give it a whirl.06:20
sublim21how can i know if an instance of hellanzb is running?06:20
asdjaputrakillall <tab><tab>06:20
ActionParsnipsublim21: ps -ef | grep hell06:20
roothorickhetecro: if you're at all a power user though, you'll want to tweak it a little with CCSM06:20
ActionParsniphetecro: thats dependant on the user06:22
asdjaputraActionParsnip, lol grep hell06:22
hetecroSee, I like the Android OS, but it's too dumbed down to be a real distro for pcs06:23
hetecroBut it is the easiest I've ever used06:23
kolixhey guys06:23
kolixI want to get usplash and a GUI on my desktop06:23
thecpaptain_yo kolix06:23
kolix..err.. i mean on ubuntu server06:23
hetecroI've always used Ubuntu because it's what I used first06:23
roothorickkolix: why?06:23
kolixi want to montior stats using a variety of top commands06:24
roothorickhetecro: make a Live USB of natty, play around with Unity a bit. It borrows a lot from W7 but introduces a lot of new things too06:24
kolixlike have 4 terminals going at the same time06:24
asdjaputrakolix, screen06:24
roothorickkolix: never tried it myself, but play with tmux06:25
hetecroHmm. Is it as user friendly as Android, but as customizable as Ubuntu?06:25
thecpaptain_i'm trying to connect to a wireless network in ubuntu without success. I can access the same network using the same computer with windows 7, and i'm able to access it using my iPod. In ubuntu i'm able to access another wireless network, yet not this one. Does anyone have an idea what the problem and the consequent solution might be ?06:25
roothorickhetecro: I genuinely doubt desktops will ever be able to touch smartphone OSes. We just expect so much more from full-blown computers.06:25
hetecro@ thecpaptain_ it is probably a security issue06:25
razerI have another question. Ubuntu is unable to detect my WLAN adapter. It was detected the first time I installed Ubuntu but now it wont. This happened only after my installation of Fedora (the latest stable release). I removed Ubuntu in order to make space for fedora and went ahead and installed Fedora. Fedora wouldn't detect my WLAN adapter so I decided to switch back to Ubuntu. After the installed finished, I realized that the same t06:25
roothorickhetecro: as for customizable, it doesn't have as many knobs and buttons as, say, GNOME, but I at least didn't miss them06:26
kolixapt-get tmux?06:26
hetecrothecpaptain_: Try changing your router to WEP temporarily and see if it picks it up06:26
roothorickrazer: sounds like a firmware issue. You may not be able to dual-boot and keep wireless on that laptop.06:27
JoeR1SO, I installed the "newest" Nvidia drivers from thier site and these driver have been rejected by my kernel (2.6.38-11) and I need to know how to get rid of them if I ever want to see my desktop again06:27
roothorickJoeR1: rejected how?06:27
asdjaputraJoeR1, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf06:28
hetecroIm assuming he means they just didn't work06:28
JoeR1roothorick: failed to load06:28
roothorickJoeR1: that's still not useful... what does dmesg say?06:28
JoeR1asdjaputra: blacklist didn't work last time because, for some reason, my system doesn't bring up the nouveau (spelling?) drivers06:29
kolixroothorick, i don't have X or anything installed06:29
asdjaputrakolix apt-get install screen, or if you want a better one use byobu (included by default)06:29
kolixcan i still use tmux?06:29
JoeR1roothorick: one  moment06:29
kolixasdjaputra, what does screen do?06:29
roothorickkolix: as I said, I have never used it myself06:30
asdjaputrakolix, it's a multiple terminal manager06:30
hetecroroothorick: You mean Natty Narwhal?06:30
kolixcan i make it look cool, like with diffrent colors and stuff06:30
kolix?06:30
asdjaputrakolix, byobu is better in the GUI side, it's a modified version of screen06:30
asdjaputrakolix, you can always edit ~/.bashrc to get colors06:30
sublim21i'll natty your face06:31
roothorickhetecro: yeah, 11.0406:31
asdjaputrakolix, see, the thing is that memory in servers are put to much better use for apache, mysql, php, and so on, rather than running GUI06:31
linuxrealml806:31
asdjaputrasublim21, wrong, it's i'll maverick your face :)06:31
kolixasdjaputra, but you should see my setup06:31
asdjaputrakolix, you're running a server, no?06:31
roothorickkolix: I've always had the attitude servers should do, well, server-y things, and the cool monitoring widgets should be run on a separate machine with less mission-critical tasks06:31
kolixmy server monitor is a 32' plasma running through an RCA jack06:31
* GNUdog is away: Away From Keyboard06:32
kolixgirls will see this06:32
c_nicknicolus 20522 19836  0 11:56 pts/0    00:00:00 grep git-daemon << is this git-daemon running ? and 19836 the process id of the same ? I need to kill it and restart06:32
asdjaputraroothorick, via ssh?06:32
kolixi want it to look cool06:32
roothorickasdjaputra: whatever gets it there securely06:32
asdjaputra!away | GNUdog06:32
ubottuGNUdog: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines»06:32
asdjaputraroothorick, cool, never thought of doing that, because the server is a foot away, i don't need ssh :)06:32
gaelfxkolix: why did you choose the server version then?06:33
thecpaptaingot dc06:33
roothorickasdjaputra: my server's a foot away from me and I still shell into it06:33
kolixasdjaputra: is byobu installed automatically06:33
kolixor do i just apt-get?06:33
asdjaputraroothorick, :D06:33
roothorickkolix: are we actually talking about a server here?06:33
asdjaputrakolix, run it to figure it06:33
thecpaptainas i said, its my landlords router, so i don't have access to it atm06:33
asdjaputraroothorick, no, he's installing desktop on a server :)06:33
* gaelfx facepalms06:33
roothorickkolix: does this computer actually provide services to other computers in any way, shape or form?06:34
JoeR1roothorick: API mismatch: The client has version 280.13 but the kernel module has version 270.41.0606:35
hetecroI have 2 quad-core intel Xeon 64bit processors, do I need the Amd64 image or the intel image.06:35
hetecroThe documentation. Is. Unclear06:35
roothorickJoeR1: does "sudo rmmod && sudo modprobe nvidia" fix it?06:35
roothoricker06:35
roothorickJoeR1: does "sudo rmmod nvidia && sudo modprobe nvidia" fix it?06:35
JoeR1roothorick: I shall see, one moment06:35
kolixbyobu is awesome06:36
thecpaptaindoes anyone have an idea what i can do? and do you remember my situation ? hehe06:36
hetecroAnyone know the answer to my question?06:36
asdjaputrakolix, the same sentence i said when first trying it06:36
asdjaputrahetecro, amd6406:37
roothorickhetecro: either will work, but you should use amd6406:37
hetecrothecpaptain: Did you not get my suggestion?06:37
asdjaputrahetecro, it's not that 64-bits are exclusive to amd, it's that amd first apply 64-bit, so it's called amd6406:37
hetecroStrange considering the current market, but thank you06:37
hetecroDoes natty support dual processing?06:38
sublim21i got a dual processor on my little netbook06:38
roothorickhetecro: AMD actually invented the current 64bit instruction set, which Intel sort-of-coopted as EM64T. Linux calling it amd64 is something of a tradition06:38
hetecroOr even quad cores?06:38
sublim21natty works alright06:38
roothorickhetecro: Natty supports SMP just fine, I'm running it on a Phenom II X4 right now06:38
sublim21currently not being able to view flash on firefox.  don't know why06:38
ActionParsniphetecro: first to desktop 64bit. The name just stuck. It's likd IDE drives being called as they are. It just stuck06:38
kolixasdjaputra, can byobu split the screen into 4 terminals?06:39
JoeR1roothorick: it seems I will need to restart to find out before I do that can you tell me how to set gryb to ALWAYS bring up an boot menu from which I can choose what kernal to boot into?06:39
hetecroSo, two quadcore xeons will get the full treatment?06:39
ActionParsnip!flash| sublim2106:39
ubottusublim21: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also  !Restricted and !Gnash06:39
asdjaputrakolix, like terminator does? no it'll need X functionality06:39
ActionParsniphetecro: easily.06:39
roothorickActionParsnip: technically, IA64/Itanium reached the market first, but bombed... AMD made their own 64bit instruction set they called "AMD64" (hence the name) and it stuck so hard Intel was forced to use it under a different name06:39
thecpaptaincould you repeat the suggestion hetecro ?06:39
c_nickps -ef which column is the process id 2nd or 3rd06:40
thecpaptainand also tell me how to "whisper" to you :)06:40
ActionParsniproothorick: gotcha06:40
thecpaptainor you know, make you see that its you i'm talking to, even though its still public06:40
roothorickhetecro: well, your programs will have full access to them. Whether they get fully utilized is up to you ;)06:40
hetecrothecpaptain: Just temporarily change the wifi security to WEP and see if it connects06:40
hetecroIf it does, it's a security issue.06:41
thecpaptainah yes, only thing is i don't have access to the router since it belongs to my landlord06:41
ActionParsniproothorick: forgot about that. Rambus was soo pricey06:41
asdjaputrathecpaptain, use BackTrack to hack it :)06:41
hetecroAh! Is it wpa2?06:41
thecpaptainyes its wpa206:41
JoeR1roothorick: So yes or no to my grub question?06:42
calmpitbullI need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what06:42
hetecroIt might be a kernel issue I had once connecting to AES vs TKIP06:42
thecpaptainhow do i make it so that i make your names red in the beginning ? :D06:42
thecpaptainusing backtrack sounds cool06:42
thecpaptaini'll get it from ubuntu software center ?06:42
thecpaptainhm06:42
asdjaputraJoeR1, why does grub always show boot option?06:42
roothorickJoeR1: you can edit grub.conf, as long as there's two options and a non-zero timeout you should get a prompt06:42
asdjaputraJoeR1, well what's wrong with that?06:42
JoeR1asdjaputra: It doesn't and I would like it to06:43
G00053has fglrx hit 11.9 yet ?06:43
thecpaptainhm so is there a way to fix it ?06:43
roothorickG00053: it's not even September yet! Have patience.06:43
ActionParsnipthecpaptain: its a seperate disto (ubuntu based) but will run from livecd06:43
JoeR1I shall try that, assuming I can find grub.conf, and return shortly06:43
asdjaputra/etc/grub/menu.lst --> 1.9906:43
hetecroYeah, thecpaptain, but it will be hard to diagnose06:43
asdjaputrawoops thats /boot/grub/menu.lst06:44
JoeR1wait, I need a command line document editor06:44
asdjaputraJoeR1, nano06:44
JoeR1thanks06:44
thecpaptainhm... so what's the easiest solution do you think ?06:44
G00053roothorick: I heard there was a fix coming for the issues in gnome/unity - shell06:44
thecpaptainshould i ask my landlord if its possible to change the encryption ?06:44
asdjaputra/boot/grub/grub.cfg --> 206:44
hetecroBest bet is to run a livecd of dsl or puppy, connect to the network and print the network configuration, then copy all of the info into the configuration for ubuntu06:45
roothorickG00053: a) AMD has officially said you should be using the DRI drivers instead of fglrx unless you need a specific feature the DRI drivers don't have06:45
thecpaptainActionParsnip didn't understand what you said really xD06:45
roothorickG00053: b) they do monthly releases. (20)11.8 (August). 11.9 won't be out until sometime in September.06:45
ActionParsnipthecpaptain: usb wifi known to connect to wpa2 in ubuntu ;-)06:45
G00053roothorick: fair enough06:45
rsvpwhat happens if enable-shm=no in the conf file for PULSEAUDIO ?? Does the hard drive go to work instead of RAM?06:45
thecpaptainhmm aight06:45
JoeR1Where is grub.conf?06:46
hetecrothecpaptain: Log into windows, run CMD, the. Type ipconfig -all after connecting to the network06:46
thecpaptainaight, then ?06:46
hetecroUse that information to create your configuration for ubuntu06:46
kolixasdjaputra, you still around?06:46
thecpaptainhmmm, all right06:46
asdjaputraJoeR1, /boot/grub/grub.cfg06:46
hetecroInstead of using dhcp06:46
asdjaputrakolix, yes06:46
JoeR1thanks06:46
thecpaptainbut i might need some help with the configuration depending on the level of complexity06:47
kolixasdjaputra, you said i need X to split the screen into 4 terminals06:47
thecpaptainbut i'll do that and return06:47
kolix4 terminals going at the same time ont he same screen06:47
roothorickJoeR1: apparently you're supposed to be editing /etc/grub.d and /etc/default/grub instead...06:47
asdjaputrakolix, CMIIW, yes06:47
thecpaptainso should i go into windows, run cmd, acquire that information and then return to ubuntu ?06:48
hetecroKk. Remember that google has plenty of docs on the subject of creating custom kexts and such for these configurations06:48
hetecroYes06:48
kolixCMIIW>06:48
kolix???06:48
thecpaptainaight06:48
thecpaptaini'll be back in a min then :)06:48
thecpaptainthanks up till now06:48
asdjaputracorrect me if im wrong06:48
kolixso with X i can change the terminal colors and stuff?06:49
kolixand just type a command to pane the terminals?06:50
asdjaputrakolix, changing colors could be done by editing ~/.bashrc06:50
asdjaputrakolix, but memorizing the color codes is hard06:50
kolixhow do i get X using apt-get?06:51
kjeoiewdhewllo06:51
kolixi'm extremely new to linux06:51
asdjaputrakolix, yes06:51
asdjaputrakolix, if you want a desktop why download a server06:51
BILLYKANE1apt-get install x-window-system-core06:52
asdjaputrakolix, fancy colored prompts is not the server style :D06:52

JoeR1So, any advice on how to fix the driver issue I am having?07:04
kolixnatalie, i don't have a GUI installed07:04
kolixI'm running ubuntu server07:04

thecpaptainhehe, and i'm trying to connect to a wireless network with a WPA2 encrypt :)07:10
kolixbilly, is top the best for statisitc monitoring?07:10
=== sparky is now known as eskim0
kolixlike htop, iftop, etc07:10
kolix?07:10
Secrisubuntu doesn't recognize my screen resolution07:11
JoeR1does irssi keep multiple channel open?07:11
BILLYKANE1kolix,I think htop is much better07:11
gaelfxJoeR1: use joeck-text -d [driver], that will disable it07:11
gaelfxJoeR1: jockey-text, sorry07:11
BILLYKANE1however ,in many case ,I still need to run kill -9 manually07:12
JoeR1gaelfx: Do I need only the version number or an ID that I would need to query a terminal to find?07:12
icerootBILLYKANE1: kill -9 is always a bad idea07:12
ThelmariaJoeR1: Yes, Irssi will keep mutliple channels open. Irssi + screen is amazing.07:12
JoeR1Thelmaria: How do I switch between them?07:13
gaelfxJoeR1: jockey-text -l should list the drivers enabled, use the name that that tells you07:13
BILLYKANE1iceroot,you are right07:13
ThelmariaJoeR1: Alt + <n> where <n> is a number.07:13
JoeR1gaelfx: Thank you, I will07:13
JoeR1Thelmaria: Thanks07:13
icerootBILLYKANE1: http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#uuk9letter07:14
gaelfxJoeR1: note that that only disables it, it won't actually remove it. But if it's disabled, you can still re-enable it without installing again07:14
ThelmariaJoeR1: Down the bottom of your irssi screen you should have something like "16:44 JoeR1 blah blah Act: 3,4" -- the numbers after Act: are the channels which have had input since you last looked at them.07:14
ThelmariaJoeR1: No numbers = no new stuff.07:14
norbert79Good morning. I am looking for finding the device file for Bluetooth in /dev, but failed to do so so far. I would like to use Bluetooth under wine, but for that I would like to know which device file I have to link. It's not rfcomm*, I am already through that part.07:15
BILLYKANE1iceroot,mostly ,I use -9 to kill opera."shut down socket connections,that is it"07:15
icerootBILLYKANE1: read the text07:15
gaelfxnorbert79: I think it's a different part of /dev for different kinds of bluetooth devices07:15
norbert79gaelfx: Well, sure, but since I am clueless where to look, some advice would be welcome.07:15
gaelfxnorbert79: for example, a mouse or keyboard would be something like hid, whereas headset would be something like audio07:16
BILLYKANE1iceroot,Thanks,next time I will try the suggestions.07:16
norbert79gaelfx: Right now I have a phone added as Bluetooth device, and would like to use COM transfer07:16
norbert79gaelfx: Yet I don't see anything which might point as being available for such07:16
sublim21alright so i installed a program called hellanzb.  im super dumb.  i'm running natty on  a netbook.  how do i remove it with apt-get?07:16
sublim21what magic words shall be typed into the terminal07:16
sublim21oh pray tell masters of the natty07:17
norbert79sublim21: If you have installed it through dpkg or apt-get, use either "dpkg -r" or "apt-get purge" and the name of the package07:17
gaelfxnorbert79: yeah, I'm not sure where that would show up, but it does seem that /dev is this most likely place. lemme check07:17
norbert79gaelfx: Sure, thank you...07:17
norbert79gaelfx: /dev let me down unfortunetaly... :(07:18
sublim21norbert79: thanks nor.  btw, your brother q.  kind of sucks.07:18

BILLYKANE1 kolix:,that is the way dvtm shorcut works:press down ctrl,then press g,then release both. then press C07:20
norbert79gaelfx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup This helped me a bit, but since the description is rather very old I thought there might be other solutions too...07:20
gaelfxnorbert79: did you check the bluetoothremotecontrol page?07:20
norbert79gaelfx: Since I doubt this has been left as it is...07:20
norbert79gaelfx: Not yet, but the weird thing is, that I AM able to remote control my desktop through the phone WITHOUT any tricks07:21
norbert79gaelfx: So this is why I doubt I would need to hack /etc/bluetooth, and there must be a dev present in /dev07:22
norbert79gaelfx: But I might be still wrong07:22
zed_Hello, is there anyone know how to play *.MTS format file?07:22

theadminthecpaptain: Do that, yes07:46
thecpaptaingot it07:46
JoeR1gaelfx, It does, however i will most likely be returning to the Nvidia drivers once I clear that up - it will depend on how well nouveau does hd content07:46
thecpaptainErrors were encountered while processing:  /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic_2.6.32-33.72_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)07:47

JoeR1gaelfx, I have heard VDPAU mentione frequently, what is it?07:47
JoeR1mentioned*07:48
gaelfxJoeR1: if you want to get rid of the old NVidia drivers, I suggest apt-get -purge nvidia-current or whatever07:48
gaelfxJoeR1: it's a way to make sure that tough video processing is handled by the video card and not the CPU07:48
thecpaptaini'm on it, its processing07:48
JoeR1gaelfx, I will be taking a different apporache because the driver were installed from the Nvidia website and therefore are not listed by jockey07:49

theadminminhthong: The only distributions this channel supports are Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and maybe a few others07:56
minhthongbut zorin OS is ubuntu 1107:56
theadminminhthong: ZorinOS is not a supported deriv07:56
gaelfxminhthong: what he means is that it's only based on Ubuntu 11, with some changes, which most of us here don't know anything about07:57
norbert79jasonmsp: other than skype... Well... Emulation is out of the question, right? (Wine)07:58
minhthongyes it's only based on U 1107:58
jasonmspnorbert79:  well I have virtualbox setup right now with windows xp.  I don't know enough about wine to be comfortable with it at this point.07:58

norbert79!voip08:00
ubottuVoIP is Voice over IP. The default VoIP client for Ubuntu is !Ekiga. There is also an xmpp voice component in !Empathy. Kubuntu Clients include Kphone and Twinkle. Proprietary Clients include !Skype and Gizmo5. VoIP server applications include Asterisk and Yate ( both in repositories ), FreePBX, and SipX.08:00
theadminminhthong: We do not support ZorinOS. However, in regular Ubuntu, that can be done with a tool called "StartUp Manager" if I recall right08:00
gaelfxJoeR1: ok, what's up?08:00
norbert79jasonmsp: ^^08:00
norbert79Never heard of Gizmo5 though08:00
minhthongtheadmin, yes i want to ask for u 11. what software is best to change splash?08:01
jasonmspnorbert79:   yeah I'm reading the community docs on Ekiga now.08:01
jasonmspnorbert79:  Is dimondcard the only provider or are there others/08:02
jasonmsp?08:02
norbert79jasonmsp: If you need real phone access I guess Gizmo5 would be useful, otherwise I would recommend Mumble for voip transfer.08:02
norbert79jasonmsp: I have no idea unfortunetaly. I only used Skype so far08:02
theadminminhthong: Well, you've got the answer. I only know one such software to do it via a GUI08:02
norbert79jasonmsp: And I assume you live in the US, while I am sitting in EU. So I am not familiar with the providers either.. :(08:03
minhthongtheadmin, how about supper grub 2?08:03
minhthongtheadmin, does it good?08:03
theadminminhthong: That's got nothing to do with bootsplashes at all, it's a recovery tool08:03
jasonmspnorbert79:  well techinically I'm, in the middle east at the moment, but I tunnel into our servers in the US.08:03
gaelfxminhthong: I'm not sure that's what you use for splash screens08:03
norbert79jasonmsp: Yet, you might also consider Google's solution too08:03

splitpaw-mobileok, on the rolland. if it's got a supported scsi controller.. you disks are showing up on the ubuntu side, then if they were formatted to ext4.. no the roland won't seem them.. if you get me the roland type.. it might been running linux.. and I can find out.. which means it MIGHT be able to run EXT 2 formatted disks08:55

nisstyreI would tend to disagree with that viewpoint11:00
glebihanpaul_uk, I think it's the same in thundar as in nautilus11:00

chewy_guys, is gnome 3 available in ubuntu 11.04? i mean i saw tutos and ppas, but from april. what s the standard procedure installation today, and can we have it in a 11.04 system without messing the unity one? (a gdm with 2 choices for instance?)11:01
xqix9u2vdr-willis,try reading this http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ssh.html11:02
glebihan!gnome3 | chewy_11:02
ubottuchewy_: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely.11:02

dr-willisxqix9u2v:  my case? what case.11:04
dr-willisive used xdmcp for 10+ years. it has its pros and cons.11:04
xqix9u2vif you are running jwm for vnc that is pointless...  might as well run your regular wm11:04
dr-willisvnc also has its pros anc cons11:05
dr-willisxqix9u2v:  you are confused about vnc i think11:05
xqix9u2vyes, but the whole point of vnc is that you get to use whatever wm you want11:06
dr-willisa complex destop can make vnc very slow.11:06
xqix9u2vif you like jwm fine11:06
xqix9u2vnope11:06
xqix9u2vyou probably do not have a root window jpeg/wallpaper in jwm thats why it feels fast to you11:07

iszakOerHeks, that's a work-around I want it baked into the core.11:47
ytzasdfThelmaria, i'm using the ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso11:47
delinquentmeTheoKar, yeah apparently its a possible solution for atheros wireless chipsets11:47
OerHeksisxak, then you have to wait for an update.11:48
iszakOerHeks, I want to speed up the process; there's basically no indication a fix will even be provided.11:48
TheoKardelinquentme: so previous to your madwifi installation it didn't work either?11:48
delinquentmeTheoKar, correct11:48
volga629marekw2143: if vpn connection established and if you doing ifconfig -a you should see tap int up and running plus you can check daemon.log in /var/log11:48
OerHeksiszak, the url is the fix, did you try it ?11:48
Thelmariaytzasdf: Hrm, that would be right. I'm afraid I'm out of my depth to debug the issue - my suggestions would be a) try re-downloading and re-burning to disk / flash drive, b) try another alternative disk, see if that works.11:49
TheoKardelinquentme: and you do have wireless network around you to access? :-)11:49
iszakOerHeks, yes I have and it does fix it but I want to see it baked in.11:49

dr_willisdelinquentme:  i dont worry about sticking to LTS. i use what i like...11:54
glebihandelinquentme, the next LTS should be 12.04 (though it's not official yet)11:54

sylowHi, I'm trying to serup courier pop3, postfix is only used from localhost, but for additional pop3 accounts, do I need a system user for each address?12:00
marekw2143bluenemo: and maybe how to enforce so that nm is always started?12:00
dr_willisnetwork manager is started by default..12:00
dr_willisunless you somehow broke it. :)12:00
MK`glebihan: I think it is chromium doing it. I have a shortcut with --user-data-dir=~/.config/etc... whenever I launch it or it is open it creates this folder. When Chromium is closed it does not re-create that folder, and deleting the folder deletes the config (even though don't seem to be stored there?)12:01
bluenemoimho nm is broken by default ;) i use wicd if i need it graphicly for some reason12:01
sylowI see examples with mysql db and tables for the addresses, I wonder if that's needed12:01
marekw2143ohhh12:01
volga629marekw2143: update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove12:02
marekw2143volga629: what will that do ?12:02
bluenemoremove nm from init scripts12:02
marekw2143ok, I removed12:03
volga629marekw2143: remove from startup12:03
dr_willisim not even sure if update-rc.d works any more with upstart.12:03
dr_willisI dident think he wanted to remove it.. Unless i missread what he has been saying..12:03
marekw2143yes, I just wanted to ensure that it will start :)12:03
bluenemowell then it wont do this now :)12:03
dr_willisUnless you have removed it or broke it.. it should start.12:03
bluenemonm is the default network interface management tool on ubuntu and should start up by itself after a successfull installtion12:04

g0thszal: what mixer?15:10
zykotick9eduardoinsweden, if you're currently using the installer - that's the easiest way to create a swap partition (but yes, it can be done after, but more involved)15:10
eduardoinswedenbut how do I create swap partition? I only see the partitions that is available, created from windows15:11

zykotick9eduardoinsweden, you do need a separate partition for swap yes (swap files are a poor substitute for the real thing).  Why did you create your partitions in windows?  FYI FAT/NTFS can't be used for installing Ubuntu, only for storage.15:15
PiciBrianOfTacoma: That will search your entire computer for mp3 files and deletes them. Switch / with the path to the files. Also, you should use -delete instead the -exec rm -rf {} \; part15:16
eduardoinswedenbut how do I know make a swap partition in intallation?15:16

ocmsRzrhi, my hard drive is crashing, and I don't have money for a new hard drive or a new laptop.  I need to create a persistent live cd, the trouble is that my computer is also old, and 11.04 takes forever to turn on when booting from the usb.  I would like to create an alternate install on the usb and install X11 and a windowmanger and emacs.15:19
volga629Pici: rm is not delete ?15:20
jmartinthis is the first time i have ever used IRC from a server.15:20
szaleduardoinsweden: use Custom partition setup, or better yet, partition w/ GParted, then use Custom Partition Setup to just assign the mount points15:20
ocmsRzrI tried to install to the usb as if it were another hard drive, and the install works, but when it reboots nothing happens.  Grub doesn't start and I just get a black screen until I shut it off15:20
ezeqlszal, i have found on lspci info this line : 01:00.0 3D controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0dec (rev a1)15:20
szalezeql: pretty much says nothing as to what model it is15:21
zykotick9ocmsRzr, you had to use "Advanced" button and tell installer to put Grub onto the USB - it's quite possible15:21
ezeqlszal, its gforce 525m15:21
Picivolga629: It is, but whitespace in filenames can make find and exec do weird things. I try not to take chances with that.15:21
zykotick9ocmsRzr, by default it would have installed to HD even though you installed onto the USB15:21
volga629Pici: you can not use -f option and it will ask for confirmation to delete file15:21
eduardoinswedenThere is not Custom partition setup in the installer guide15:21
ocmsRzrzykotick9: can you be a little more specific? Grub prompted where to install, and I chose /dev/sdb once and /dev/sdb115:21
ocmsRzrboth had the same result15:21
eduardoinswedenthere is only "Partition disks" in the installer menu15:22
muktiAre there any programs similar to rsync that work over FTP in Ubuntu?15:22
zykotick9ocmsRzr, are you sure the usb was sdb?  during the install.15:22
Picivolga629: That could be for hundreds of files.15:22
DrkCodemanso ubuntu doesnt look for gpt it only detects mbr partitions?15:22
ocmsRzrzykotick9: Only insofar as when I chose to rescue the install later, sdb showed up as the correct drive15:23

ocmsRzrI don't have a hard drive15:23

Guest79518Hi15:30
eduardoinswedendam... I will have to reboot in windows and make another partition for swap, there is no way in installer to create swap parition from a current partition, that is lame15:31

Gentoo64eduardoinsweden, gparted15:32
Gentoo64??15:32
eduardoinswedengparted?15:32
jmartini try to keep my Windows and Linux boxes seperate.. kills the partition confusion15:32
Gentoo64eduardoinsweden, gparted is the partition manager15:32
eduardoinswedenbut I am installing, there is not access to no partition manager15:32

user<Pici> i mean that see this link     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript15:33

eduardoinswedenI am using install cd... I want ubuntu installed15:34
ocmsRzrhow do I figure out where to install grub to?15:34
eduardoinswedenbtw, I am installing server15:34
jmartinit installs by itself15:34
ocmsRzrif I want ubuntu installed to a usb in a persistent way, can I treat it like a hard drive?15:34
jmartini just finished a new server install15:34
hiwkusing 11.04, so far with unity, what would be the prefered way to bind media keys (such as XF86AudioPlay)?15:34
Gentoo64eduardoinsweden, then you can use fdisk or similar cli15:34
Gentoo64or just boot into a partedmagic livecd15:34
hiwkI tried to bind that to a "run command" using CCSM, but it doesn't seem to "take", so I think something else is capturing it15:34
Picieduardoinsweden: The server installer definitely has a partition editor.15:34
xanguaocmsRzr: don't expect it to live longer ;)15:35
eduardoinswedenjmartin: I have a partition, I am not installing on disk, so it is issues15:35

eduardoinswedenI lets you only set partitions properties or partition the "disk"15:35
Picieduardoinsweden: Are you trying to resize a partition?15:35
eduardoinswedenPici: I am trying to make a partition for swap15:36
zykotick9eduardoinsweden, just delete the partition YOU created and let Ubuntu auto partition into free space, it'll create the swap and / partitions automatically15:36
Picieduardoinsweden: Okay, so partition the disk. You cannot partition an already created partition further.15:36
eduardoinswedenyes15:36
eduardoinswedenthat is the issue15:36
szaleduardoinsweden: you can't do that in Windows either15:37
Picieduardoinsweden: You cannot take one partition and make it into multiple. You can only create a partition where there is free space. You might be able to shrink a partition and then use the free space that action created.15:38
eduardoinsweden zykotick9: You are the king15:38
Gentoo64eduardoinsweden, have you got access to a screen? download the gparted iso its easy http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php15:38
itiliousis there another tool i can use besides putty to access remote terminal of ubuntu from windows?15:38
eduardoinswedenNope, the answer is to delete the partition and Ubuntu install will use the  free space automatically and create both install and swap space15:38
eduardoinswedenjust like zykotick9 said, THANKS... sorry caps15:39
Gentoo64itilious, i think putty is the most common15:39
Gentoo64eduardoinsweden, ofc you can do that...15:39
ocmsRzrcan anyone suggest a minimal linux distribution that I can run of a persistent pendrive? I would prefer an ubuntu derivative15:39

polygon-pusherPici correct but from what I can tell I stopped the http server so it should not be loading15:41
gdoteofAnyone have recommendations for desktop recording other than recordmydesktop?  It works OK; but I have dual monitors, and the UI for choosing the space to record is cumbersome; and worse, I can't choose when to encode the video, I only get one shot.  And worse!  I can't keep recording while I am encoding.15:41
polygon-pusherthat means I still have another server running some where15:41
polygon-pusherwhat can I do to find it15:41
jribpolygon-pusher: make sure it's not just your browser's cache15:41
gdoteofSo after I record somethign for say, 20 minutes.. it takes 2 hours to encode and I can't record anything during the interim.15:41
ramroManchehi, I installed some 32 bit packages with dpkg -i --force-architecture * in my 64 bit system. How do I remove them? dpkg -r says the package is not installed but if I try to install 64 bit of the same package it says 32 bit version already installed. (typo corrected)15:41
polygon-pusherdid already15:41
Picipolygon-pusher: Ah, sorry I missed that.  sudo netstat -tanp | grep ":80" should show you what is listening on port 8015:41
demonsporkpolygon-pusher, assuming you are doing "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop", check with netstat to see if anything is binding to port 8015:41

You can get any of them and remove the default environment and install another, or install another any time you like but if you want a specific environment just getting the release with the environment you want would be easier.

eduardoinswedenbut how do i quit install if it is froozen? it dont let me go back15:51
PolahDrkCodeman, if you're using wubi then that doesn't use GRUB. Wubi uses the standard Windows bootloader to boot itself I believe15:51

Polahaol: Yes, I would assume that you don't have suitable drivers for your USB controller. I couldn't help you install them, but if you do   lspci | grep USB    then that should give you a model name you can look up drivers for16:03
mdgro<zykotick9> I was under the impression dist-upgrade did a more complete upgrade, i.e. there could be security patches that are not present in a regular upgrade16:03
battlehandsKyle__, no.  I dont know what that means,16:03
Kyle__battlehands: If the installer was made properly, it should be installed in /opt.  See if there's anything in /opt16:03
zykotick9mdgro, it is more "complete" yes, but both pull from the same repository - the security is the same for all Ubuntu packages16:04

battlehandsKyle__, or /usr/local/bin/ matlab16:04
Kyle__battlehands: Oh ok.  So cd into /usr/local and ls.  If there's a matlab directory, ls it.  If not, ls -lhtr|tail /usr/local/bin/16:05
aolPolah: this is what your command gave me http://pastebin.com/S45Zmb1R i have no clue what that means16:05
zykotick9mdgro, feel free to PM me if you'd like my opinion on security16:05
Kyle__battlehands: ls -lhtr means, long listing, human readable, sorted by time, reverse.  So the most recently created file will show up at the bottom of the list.  And tail will (by dfeault) only give you the last few lines.16:06
battlehandscan I search for matlab?16:06
gmaiarodrigoIdleOne: These are simple information. I've tried many tutorials, I could put the DHCP server to work, but my subnet can not share the internet. I edited many files for masking and I could not. I think the problem is the NAT, but not sure.16:06

PolahSockPants: nevermind, can't find it. Here: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-auth-mysql && sudo a2enmod php5 && sudo service apache2 restart16:11
lonewulf`Im running natty narwhal 11.0416:11
PolahShould install them, do some basic configuration for the MySQL server like root user and password for it, install the apache2 mysql and php5 modules, enable the php5 module and restart it16:12
SockPantsPolah: thanks! that should get me at least a lot further.16:12
DrkCodemanzykotick9: i think the fix is to shrink the volume to allow unpartitioned space that grub can use16:12
zykotick9DrkCodeman, glad you figured it out.  I'll keep it in mind if i ever get a 2TB drive ;)  thanks.16:12
PolahSockPants: You can also install tasksel which gives you an easy to use list of grouped packages like LAMP server, OpenSSH server and so on which you can just select to install and then it'll get everything you need for that16:13
PolahDrkCodeman: I don't think grub should require unpartitioned space to work16:13

I've cleared all the iptables rules and now the only roule is the POSTROUTE on the NAT table and one ACCEPT into the INPUT table for the RELATED,ESTABLISHED (I've also tryied setting all (INPUT/OUTPUT/FORWARDING) default policies to ACCEPT.16:23
eduardoinswedenfinally going over to ubuntu, feels greate16:23
GortiZany idea on what to test to address the issue? the internet speed of the server si 10Mb/s but the clients just goes at 1-2Mb/s16:23
dmtarmey? problems with sound card stopped working16:23
PolahGortiZ, are you sure the clients are measuring and Mb and not MB?16:24

PolahDrkCodeman, are you still trying with wubi?16:30
GortiZubuntu__: if the pics were on the same HD you shoud use some software for data recovery and hope that the format+install doesn't have deleted them from the disk :S16:30

PolahDrkCodeman: But partitions should exist? Hmm, did you use dd at any point while trying to install grub?16:32
GortiZubuntu__: sorry I don't remember any of them.. i don't use them so often16:32
jjgalvez__AzizLight: well when you figure out your bigger issues, make sure your network is set either for bridged which will make it look like any other computer on your network, or localhost if your only testing stuff and want to access it only from the host computer. I generally use bridged for stuff like this because its simplier16:33
DrkCodemanPolah: i havent installed anything yet i dont want to destroy my partitions and its contents16:33
PolahDrkCodeman, you were trying to install GRUB earlier weren't you?16:33

Slartsplitpaw-mobile: as an answer to what? I'm not sure I'm following17:12
BluesKajTBotNik, if possibel set the dns IPs in your router , probly using the manual mode ...depends on the router of course17:12
Donnie_Darko21or something is wrong with the 3d17:12
jmartinblueska: ok, then i guess you can use your ubuntu desktop. the best method is to install server with a gui. desktop ubuntu gets flakey on server services.17:12
splitpaw-mobile you mentioned you keep having dhcp attempt  the grab it from the startup17:13

TBotNikBluesKaj: NM is not reading the resolv.conf at all, not sure why, actually almost all the config files NM uses are being ignored and some arbitrary connect for eth0 at 169.x.x.x is being set, which is driving me crazy, which is why I removed NM and now ready to re-install.  Just try to make sure I get everything set right, because have no inet, when I reboot to running HDD boot, if wlan0 does not work right.  It has been connecting, but no17:14
splitpaw-mobileif you tell it what device and what nic you want for each17:14

BluesKajTBotNik, remove modemmanager as well, it will reset resolv.conf to it's own defaults17:15
ssargenntoMaxtronik, when you reboot your machine you should have the option to boot into windows or into ubuntu17:15
MaxtronikYEAH it works17:16
Maxtronikhahahahaha17:16
JuJuBeetrinimoses: just saw your conversation.  I add "pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules" to my /etc/network/interfaces  and make sure that the file contains the desired rules.17:16
Maxtronikit was a damm joke17:16
ssargenntoMaxtronik, ahh gotcha :) never know17:16
simion314hi, is it possible to install ubuntu on a USB flash drive wwith USB creator and also install new apps on it? I see that it has persistent mode but it sais that is for documents and files, i am not sure if i can install a few apps17:17
BluesKajTBotNik, you either use DNS settings in the router and let NM do it's thing or remove NM altogether in order for resolv,conf to use user settings , otherwise NM will keep rewriting resolv,conf ...there's no tother way around it afaik17:18
TBotNikBluesKaj: U-box is the router, bridges off wlan0 to Local LAN, non-standard config, so apps assuming standard config blow it.  Decided, because I need so many things, to add a new box to the network, just for apps, so I can avoid blowing this box, with #@#$%^$# app installers that make assumptions about my network, thinking "standard network config" which always blow my box.17:19
dtkachenkoHello, All. Anyone now testing the alpha version of ubuntu 11.10 ?17:19

destriersimion314: you should be able to remaster it, as a minimum17:20
eduardoinswedenAfter I installed LAMP and Ubuntu destkop, my screen went black, but hard disk light is blinking?17:21
simion314destrier: i need to install a few app like gimp and inkscape, this is a temporary solution untill  will have time to create a dual boot installation on a Mac laptop17:21
eduardoinswedenshould I turn it off?17:21
eduardoinswedenor is it doing something but not sending signals to the screen?17:21
destriersimion314: if anything is persistent, there's no technical reason why apps shouldn't be; I haven't tried it myself, and it may depend on other caveats that you may or may not have checked, e.g. having bios that can boot from USB17:22
trismdtkachenko: most of the people in #ubuntu+1, probably better to ask your questions there17:23
TBotNikBluesKaj: I have write up on this, with pix of network, finding it and will forward, will let you understand!17:23
trinimosesslart .. i added my rule.. and it works.. but i not seeing it when i do iptables -L17:23
simion314destrier: i was thinking that they could create a partiton where i could save my files, and the / partition could be just read only, no idea how it works, i seen a tutorial to install ubuntu in virtualbox usin the usb as a HDD but i can't find it on google anymore17:23
zykotick9destrier, FYI persistentUSB doesn't include programs - just personal file area17:23
trinimosesthe rule i added : # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 8080 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8017:24
Slarttrinimoses: iptables -L only show the rules for the FILTER table if I remember correctly.. you can use iptables -T NAT -L   to see the rules of the NAT tables.. change NAT to FILTER or.. some third filter I can't remember now17:24

destrieroh, persistent USB is (and can only be) used in combination with a live CD, why didn't anybody say? ^^17:26

AzizLightjjgalvez__: I just realized that my gateway is set to NAT mode, whatever that means...17:28
AzizLightjjgalvez__: and I am still getting the connection refused error when I try to ssh into the virtual machine17:29
jjgalvez__AzizLight: your router should be in NAT mode, are you trying to access your vbox from the inside or outside your router17:30
zykotick9AzizLight, are you connecting to a 10.x.x.x address from the local machine?  Do you know the IP address of the VM?17:30
AzizLightzykotick9: the ip address of my vm is 10.x.x.x17:31
virungaHi17:31
zykotick9AzizLight, right an are you connecting from the machine hosting that VM?17:31
virungahow can i see the active socket on port 80?17:31
AzizLightzykotick9: yes17:31
zykotick9AzizLight, are you sure you installed openssh-server?17:32
AzizLightzykotick9: pretty sure, let me check again though17:32
jnsl_On my server i have created a user for my friend. Then in his home folder i have created the folder .ssh and made an authorized_keys with his public key inside. both authorized_keys and the .ssh folder i owned by his user and has chmod 600. When he try to ssh user@server.com he get permission denied (public key)17:33
jjgalvez__AzizLight: make sure you can ssh to the server from the server17:33
xunubiHi peeps, switched over one of my systems from ubuntu to xubuntu, seems to be using a different gui for alsa mixer (getting a lot of different devices coming up that didn't before), would I be able to switch it for the one gnome uses?17:33
AzizLightjjgalvez__: how can I do that??17:33
jjgalvez__from the server try ssh <user>@localhost17:34
zykotick9jjgalvez__, just "ssh localhost" would work on the local server17:34
destriersimion314: you should also be able to compile apps for local use on your stick - keep them in your documents, for example, and place a symlink on your desktop (for convenience); alternatively, just save the .deb files and quickly re-install the package(s) on each use (it will take up some of your ramdisk space in that case)17:35
jwtiyarBogg problem i installed arch i think it deleted my running ubuntu , how to know if did?17:35
zykotick9simion314, destrier last common probably WON'T work actually, for most things anyways17:36

Escherialwow, pinta is pretty awful compared to paint.net, but sadly it's exactly what i need :\17:38
AzizLightzykotick9: maybe but I don't think so as I didn't install one myself17:38
Escheriali wonder if i should just switch back to windows to do paint.net related stuff...17:38
jjgalvez__AzizLight: when you crated the vm what netowrk setting did you select?17:38
PiciEscherial: I've heard good things about krita, but it too may be too powerful for what you need: http://www.krita.org/17:38
AzizLightjjgalvez__: I didn't, all was done automatically, but I did say that I wasn't behind a proxy, which is the case17:39
=== mterry_ is now known as mterry
zykotick9AzizLight, with vbox using NAT i can't ping/ssh to a VM either.  You might want to try Bridged networking instead.17:39
jjgalvez__AzizLight: if you didn't make a selection and are using the default, I think it defaults to NAT which will block all incomming traffic. shut the server down and change the network to localhost17:39
jwtiyarany body hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEE?17:40
jjgalvez__AzizLight: or use bridged, which simplifies things because then it looks like any ohter machine on your network17:40

zykotick9crass, no idea about the c program part - but "uname -m" will tell you if you've got 64bit os installed17:42
jwtiyarinstalled archlinux17:42
destrierzykotick9: in the second (or third) option, you can install the dependencies at the same time; I'm also not sure if gimp and inkscape have particularly unique libraries when compared against the default liveCD set of pkgs17:43
zykotick9destrier, you could try, i expect failure.17:43
crasszykotick9: yeah, it says i686, so I'm guessing not. Do you know how to upgrade to 64-bit support? or do you have to reinstall?17:43

clarkthehardy910some how my mic and webcam settings are not working in gmail anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this? my webcam and mic work fine in Cheese and skype, just not in gmail (using chrome 9.0.597.98 and firefox 3.0 on netbook dell mini 9 hardy heron)17:45
destriercrass: in theory, you wouldn't have to do a clean install; in practice, it's hard to see any benefit to doing things any other way17:45
glebaronr3b00tx, check your /var/log/dmesg files.17:45
clarkthehardy910in gmail's settings its not even detecting my mic properly17:45
clarkthehardy910I think in firefox it might be a java or flash problem, because I can get some java media to load correctly17:46
jwtiyarjjgalvez__: i tried to install Archlinux in VM , was there an option i did it was showed that it will delete all running system on hard and create new to Arch linux , so i want to know if my ubuntu lost or not? if i didi restart ?17:46
Picihacker9: Don't ping people needlessly. Also keep in mind that #ubuntu is for support only.17:46
clarkthehardy910anybody know where to begin?17:46
crassdestrier: well the benefit would be that I don't have to resetup everything on my server. Now that might now out weigh the costs in trying to do the (potentially tricky) upgrade17:47
destriercrass: sounds like you just need to keep your /etc17:47
AzizLightjjgalvez__: if I switch to anything other than NAT in the vm config I don't have an inet anymore...weird17:47
jjgalvez__jwtiyar: it's unlikely that the VM did anything to your host system, but it does sound like it would have deleted what ever system was running on the VM before you did the new distro17:48
jwtiyarjjgalvez__: i didnt understand , if my lost i cant launch apps isn't it?17:48
hollenjfhey. i installed UBUNTU and WINDOWS on same drive, dualk booting. Windows rewrote my MBR. how do I boot back into Ubuntu?17:49
r3b00txglebaron, thats helpful. thanks :)17:49
jjgalvez__AzizLight: wow that is odd, with the system running in a window, can you change it on the fly? there is a network icon at the bottom right of the screen that should let you change the setting on the fly17:49
zykotick9!grub | hollenjf17:49
ubottuhollenjf: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)17:49
crassdestrier: also, I'd need to reinstall non-standard packages... but maybe that's not to hard to get around17:49
destriersimion314 I don't know if you're still reading, so not sure if zykotick9 has put you off; ultimately the last solution I offered depends on the space you have available on the stick (probably need about 500MB for gimp and inkscape pkgs and dependencies) and in your RAM (slightly more space will be needed); you should be able to install everything with "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" if you have all pkgs in one directory on your stick17:50
AzizLightjjgalvez__: yeah I changed it on the fly and I still have the same inet but I can't connect via ssh still17:50
destriercrass: you really want everything to be 64 bit, so yeah, you have to recompile anything custom that you had17:51
jjgalvez__jwtiyar: it sounds like your host system is most likely just fine, the VM just reformated your virtual HD17:51
JimmioHey all. What's the fastest network file transfer setup? Samba is slower than molasses.. 47 hours left. 8GB of 91.7 x_x17:51
zykotick9destrier, i'd highly suggest that the origional poster just install onto a USB rather then trying live+persistent17:51
destrierzykotick9: that's probably the shortest way to glory, yes - if his bios allows17:51
jwtiyarjjgalvez__: cool it means my running ubuntu doesnt lost?17:51
crassdestrier: actually, I don't care about everything being 64-bit, I just want the ability to run 64-bit programs (some programs can only be run in 64-bit mode)17:51
AzizLightjjgalvez__: I'll be back in 20-ish minutes with a clear head17:51

clarkthehardy910please17:54
clarkthehardy910thanks in advance17:54
hacker9what is to fix17:54
crassdestrier: well, since I'm currently running in 32-bit its already limited. I'm thinking that it would be less of an upgrade hassle to just upgrade the kernel (if that's all it takes) and leave most of the system running in 32bit mode and it'll be just like it is now, except that progams compiled as 64bit will be able to run (I'm no expert at this either)17:55
jjgalvez__AzizLight: did you install the vbox drivers, not sure if you need them for network stuff but its a good place to start17:55
glebaronJimmio, lots of stuff will work. Really depends of the os that you have on the machines that are doing the transfer.17:55
Jimmioglebaron: Both Ubuntu.17:55
glebaronJimmio, rsync over ssh is probably best.17:56
zykotick9crass, 64bit kernel with 32bit userland is possible, but I'd highly doubt will provided what you actually want.  My recommendation if you want to run 64bit code, is install a 64bit OS17:56

Common examples of when this might happen are when I/O devices encounter errors, or USB devices are hot-plugged. dmesg provides a mechanism to review these messages at a later time.

ocmsRzrI tried both ways and when I reboot it looks like its gonna go and then it goes to a black screen20:06
genii-aroundsdb1 sdb2 etc are the partitions20:06
ocmsRzrlike the power lights are on but the screen shuts off20:06
ocmsRzrgenii-around: is this the same case when I'm installing to a usb.  Does the usb have a mbr?20:06
aeon-ltdocmsRzr: was this with the graphical install?20:06
sweetandyI'm going to try something and be back, ocmsRzr20:06
aeon-ltdocmsRzr: no inplace of mbr there is grub20:07
m25_this is a test of a odd irc client, pay it no mind.20:07
zykotick9ocmsRzr, just want to point out - that when you actually boot from the USB it will probably (i think it will) become sda thus you may need to chroot and update grub/fstab on your USB.  Good luck.20:08
ocmsRzraeon-ltd: its the alternate install so no20:08
aeon-ltdm25_: no matter20:08
m25_test2 in mode220:08
ocmsRzrzykotick9: makes a lot of sense. How do I do this? rescue a broken system? Do I just need to edit fstab or do I need to also edit grub? How do I edit groub? I'm not familiar with the new grub220:08
zykotick9ocmsRzr, sorry I'm not "sure" how/what you'd have to do (i've certainly done it in the past, but don't specifically remember what is involved, sorry).  You could chroot from a livecd/usb to your USB install though20:10
ocmsRzrok, well I got the laptop sitting here so I'll let it install and check back later when the black screen comes :)20:11

TehAndrewRyan_ActionParsnip: yeah it's running pretty good, but i've had a lot of trouble with NTFS volumes here, didn't have in 10.0420:21
guntbert!classic | Arnold is that what you want?20:21
ubottuArnold is that what you want?: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".20:21

Arnoldguntbert, before Unity became the default shell, it was possible to switch between Metacity and Compiz with metacity --replace or compiz --replace20:23

TehAndrewRyan_ActionParsnip: if i'm not wrong last time i tried 11.04 i required me to press enter TWICE at boot, or it didn't boot at all20:25

jorgerosaCan anyone gimme an hand, to compile this project to UBUNTU (maybe a .DEB file), please. (Has cross platform libraries: Irrlicht + Audiere, and I´m using Code::Blocks). I´d love to share it to Linux world, but never tried to compile nothing in Linux. Help, for future releases, would be awesome too. Thanks in advance.  :)20:59

HeGuruasdokadsosda: usually the ifup/ifdown scripts also start/kill wpa_supplicant21:00
ocmsRzrjorgerosa: if it builds with gnu make or the like you can use a utility called checkinstall that will generate a  deb from the source21:00
ocmsRzrbasically you build the project normally and then instead of "make install" you use checkinstall21:01
jorgerosaocmsRzr: yep, just checked, im using GNU GCC Compiler21:01
dr_willisstep 1 woule be just getting it to build... :) then worry about the rest.21:02

coraxxI would like to rotate one monitor in TwinView mode ...in Ubuntu natty...on a nVidia-card ...how do I do that ?21:05
BrianOfTacomaThere are files in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata that seem to indicate info about the samba network drive I have connected to.  I would like to read them so I can find the actual bash address for that samba connection.  But when I open the files in gedit ... I get an encoding error.21:05
BrianOfTacomaHow do I discover the bash address of the samba connection?21:05
dr_williscoraxx,  check the nvidia-settings tool? ive never rotated a monitor.21:05
raboofcoraxx: i'm not sure about TwinView, but I can rotate monitors from 'arandr'21:06
raboofcoraxx: i'm using the free 'nouveau' drivers though, so perhaps that's different21:06
coraxxdr_willis: oh I've been in the nVidia settings tool ....and also fiddling with xorg.conf21:06
eraggoBrianOfTacoma: what do you want to do? do you want use your files from console? :)21:06
ocmsRzrsorry to keep bothering, the machine is booting now, but its stuck at *Starting AppArmor Profiles [ OK ]21:07
BrianOfTacomayes I want to write a bash script to copy files to the attached samba share folder21:07
ocmsRzrits been sitting in the same state for at least 5min21:07
coraxxraboof: the xrandr (which I assumed you meant :-) ) requires that the option in xorg.conf is switched on ...however it doesn't seem to work for the 2nd display.21:08
eraggoBrianOfTacoma: check out ~/.gfvs/ :) remember to being connected (or "mounted") to network drvie21:08
eraggodrive*21:08
BrianOfTacomait's empty21:08
BrianOfTacomaand I am connected21:08
Soothsayerdr_willis, what if I want to access a folder shared by windows ?21:08
BrianOfTacomabut in .local/share/gvfs-metadata there are alot of files that reference the samba share by name21:08
Soothsayerand mount it to some directory on my ubuntu21:08
BrianOfTacomayet I can't read them21:08
raboofcoraxx: i actually really did mean arandr, it's a nice xrandr frontend.21:08
eraggoBrianOfTacoma: so you have icon on ubuntu desktop to browse network drive files?21:09
dr_willisSoothsayer,  nautilus is supposed to be able to do that by itself.21:09
BrianOfTacomayes21:09
Soothsayerdr_willis, where do I access the shared folders from ?21:09
dr_willisBrianOfTacoma,  you could just mount the share by hand whever you want..21:09
coraxxraboof: OIC ...nice, I will check it out right now21:09
raboofcoraxx: i'm notsure what you mean by 'the option' and it not working on the 2nd display, but that might be due to me not using the nvidea driver21:10
dr_willisSoothsayer,  BrianOfTacoma  is asking the same thing,. :) i always see them appear in .gvfs  or you mount them by hand whever you want21:10
dr_willisSilly Nautilus should put them in someplace obvious like 'Network' :P21:10
dr_willisbut gvfs handles more then just samba shares21:10
eraggoBrianOfTacoma: o.O if i have "mounted" drive over SSH by using locations->'connect to server' option i have something at gcfs..21:11
eraggogvfs*21:11
eraggonor similar21:11
BrianOfTacomamaybe I should unmount it through Nautilus.  That is how I had mounted them21:11
BrianOfTacomahow do I mount a samba share through bash then?21:11
jmartinif i start a java process through ssh, it keeps running if i close it and log back in. but how to i return to the java menu through ssh21:12
HeGuruBrianOfTacoma: mount -t cifs //server/share /mountpoint21:12
coraxxraboof: the 2nd display is "built-in" --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r0ZlmLBCjQ21:12
HeGuruBrianOfTacoma: you need to add -o username=<your username> if your windows username is not the same as your Ubuntu username21:13
coraxxraboof: in the xorg.conf file the following option has to be entered in the device section --> Option"RandRRotation""on"   (...if you want to use xrandr)21:14

JanusmanI've installed ubuntu using the text-mode installer; and the machine boots (I can hear the ubuntu sound) but the screen is just a blurry white screen. It's an AMD Fusion E-350 CPU (and gfx). What can I do? =)21:51

IdleOne!mint21:52
ubottuLinux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org21:52
kristjanmaybe if i just restart? be back soon21:52
Polahchris215, that options requires preexisting free space21:52
dr_willischris215,  you need to resize and have some unalocated space..  the installer MIGHT be able to reisze for you.21:52
Polahkristjan, you could give it a try.21:52
dudezeitgeist datahub becomes a zombie!!!21:53
chris215the ubuntu installer did...  but this mint installer is a little bit different21:53
chris215it seems to have less options21:53

I like to recover some removed but wrongly imported photos. I saw scalper, but it needs a /dev/DEVICE directive... how can I recover my photos?21:53

andre_plhow do we get sun java now? what happened? I saw a headline about oracle being dicks, now i can't isntall it21:54
ActionParsnipchris215: np, bear in mind next time :)21:54
dr_willischris215,  to be honest with you I dont see much point in using Mint these days.21:55
chris215dr_willis: why is that?21:55
Polahandre_pl, enable the Canonical partners repo and use apt-get install sun-java6-jre. It exists in Natty still I believe21:55
icerootandre_pl: there will be openjdk as a deb-file, also there will be an installer like the one for flash21:55
dr_willischris215,  i dont see anything it really offers that ubuntu cant do..21:55
icerootandre_pl: there is openjdk as a deb file21:55
andre_plPolah: its not in 10.10 which I am using.21:55
Janusmanis there a way to boot ubuntu into a command line?21:55
ActionParsnipantivirtel: you can see the device in the fdisk output, gphoto is not a component of this, fdisk will show the raw device name of the storage device.21:55
andre_pliceroot:  I need sun java21:55
Polahandre_pl: It was in 10.10 last time I knew as well21:55
chris215dr_willis: i am used to ubuntu...  and generally use 10.04...  but i like mint11 a LOT more than ubuntu 11.0421:56
andre_plPolah: I just tried 1 minute ago, not there21:56

andre_plPolah: something happened like, THIS week with oracle, didnt it?21:57
chris215is there a specific channel for installing and allocating?21:57
icerootPolah: sun-java6-jdk has been removed21:57
antivirtelActionParsnip: http://paste2.org/p/1619547 same output... :$21:57
Janusmandr_willis: ok, will check. have this nasty video problem with AMD fusion and have to find a way to update kernel for a start =)21:57
icerootPolah: because oracle changed the licence21:57
dr_willischris215,  not tht ivve ever seen.. theres plenty of docs/wiki pages on how you partition hard drives21:57
Polahjdk and jre?21:57
icerootPolah: both21:57
rypervenchechris215: I agree. Mint ftw^^21:57
andre_pliceroot: I'm kind of in dire need of a quick fix, whats the best way to install it now?21:57
icerootPolah: everything related to sun-java-*21:57

ActionParsnipandre_pl: the ppa is still there and active, it will install  java on your system21:59

heldenautiebnjmn: I think your computer has been drinking.22:01
propmanchris215:  if you use gparted before starting any OS installation you can use it to set, and/or shrink partitions.  that way you are not so dependent on the installers idiosyncrasies22:01
icerootandre_pl: use java from oracle.com and NOT from the ppa. the version from the ppa is not the current and have security-issues22:02
heldenautieNever keep your booze and computer in the same room.22:02

bkerensaitilious: Hmm very odd if you have crontab setup via sudo and the .pl has correct permissions then it should be good to go22:55
neer2005bkerensa, what is fstab22:55
neer2005bkerensa, sry im a noob22:55
James11I installed Ubuntu but I am not sure which one I installed, 64bits or 32bits. How do I check?22:55
itiliousbkerensa, did u take a look at my pastebin to see if maybe i had an error?22:55
bkerensaneer2005: Its ok can you go to terminal type in nano /etc/fstab then paste the content to a pastebin22:55

itiliousfor the pastebin link lol22:56
Xagovfw, how big should be my swap area?22:56
aciculaJames11: thats 64bit22:57
James11it says x86_64   ...in a way it contredicts itself?22:57
vfwitilious: root is not a valid command22:57
itiliousbkerensa, &gt;/dev/null on the end is what concerns me, may not be right?22:57
bkerensaitilious: Your cron is correct22:57
James11acicula: isn't x86 = 32bits?22:57
aciculaJames11: no, x86_64 is the name for 64bit x86 processors22:57
bkerensaitilious: Let me double check mine22:57
aciculaJames11: yes22:57
itiliousvfw, bkerensa, so remove root or not? lol22:57
vfwitilious: Whos cronjob is that?22:57
James11acicula: so how can it be 64bit and 32bit? doesn't it have to be one of the two?22:58
vfwitilious: root is not a command.  What is it you're trying to do?22:58
itiliousvfw, simply update my awstats22:58
Jordan_UJames11: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-6422:58
itiliousi removed root and will wait to see i guess22:58
bkerensaitilious: Solution is to set root:www-data for logfile but also the directories /var/log and /var/log/apache2.22:58
aciculaJames11: x86_64 refers to 64bit instructions, its very different from 32bit x8622:59
James11I see. Thank you acicula22:59
aciculaerr not 64bit instructions, but architecure22:59
bkerensavfw: He is trying to run a cron to update awstats :D22:59
vfwitilious: Who's cron job is it?22:59
itiliousvfw, whys it matter so much? thats the 2nd time u asked22:59
neer2005bkerensa, weird thing is that only certain folders are throwing the permision denied22:59
vfwitilious: Yes, I did ask two times and have yet to get the first answer.23:00
vfwitilious: user or root?23:00
itiliousah, my mistake, misunderstand the question vfw23:00
bkerensaneer2005: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62884323:00
itiliousvfw, its for awstats, but is owned by root23:01
vfwitilious: Does the task require admin privileges?23:01
neer2005bkerensa, thanks!23:01
itiliousvfw, yes23:01
vfwOk then.  Remove root.23:01
vfwitilious: just remove the word "root"  but test the command with sudo and see if it does what you want it to.23:03

itiliousvfw, yes23:04
speedrunnerG55idk23:04
vfwitilious: then it should work.  But "root" is not a command.  Remove the word "root"23:04

itiliousthnx for the tip ActionParsnip :) i'll check into it23:08
happygoluckyspeedrunnerG55: yes, update23:08
speedrunnerG55now i should try to install updates/23:09
vfwspeedrunnerG55: sudo apt-get upgrade23:10
happygoluckyspeedrunnerG55: apt-get update only updates the package tree according to the repos you have and what they offer for your architecture but like i said things are constantly being changed23:10
happygoluckyspeedrunnerG55: you should upgrade after an update, yes23:12
speedrunnerG55so i should upgrade again?23:13
happygoluckyspeedrunnerG55: i usually dist-upgrade in lieu of upgrade23:13

coraxxzykotick9: it did rotate, however it did work permantly...in the way that the resolution was reset after boot, with no options to set it back.23:18
rypervenchechromium ftw^^23:18
happygoluckyspeedrunnerG55: because of v8 i cant have that project on my architecure, or something, they explained it to me and i'm explaining it to you--which is fail because i didnt understand it either23:18
speedrunnerG55v8?23:19
coraxxzykotick9: so a new question would be ... if you run in "Separate X window"-mode....can you move one window to another monitor somehow ?23:19
speedrunnerG55thats a part of chrome,23:19
speedrunnerG55i forgot what it did23:19
speedrunnerG55:(23:19
happygoluckyspeedrunnerG55: something to do with the engine of chromium23:19
happygoluckyspeedrunnerG55: personally i find webkit browsers much faster but buggy, webkit browsers are like mentioned midori or epiphany23:20
speedrunnerG55im lost23:21
speedrunnerG55:/23:21
zykotick9coraxx, i'm afraid i've had close to no luck with "Separate X" modes, it might be possible, really not sure.23:21
modI have uninstalled OpenJDK, installed the Sun JDK to /opt/java, set PATH to include /opt/java within /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, and /etc/environment.  Whenever I run Firefox it used only look for OpenJDK, and now that I've uninstalled that it says I have no JRE23:21
zykotick9coraxx, but you can't drag a window from one to the other, i do know that.23:21
bodhi_zazenhappygolucky: chrome(ium) and midori use the V8 engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_%28JavaScript_engine%2923:22
modI cannot figure out how to get Firefox to recognize I have installed a diff JRE23:22
modany ideas?23:22

modaptitude purge ...23:23
modits certainly uninstalled23:23

rypervenchemod: It's still different. "sudo aptitude purge ~nopenjdk"23:23
happygoluckybodhi_zazen: dang i had no idea midori used it but i'm certain the guys in the project gave me the excuse of the fact it used v8 as why i couldnt or shouldnt try to compile on my arch23:23

=== nandemonai_ is now known as nandemonai
modrypervenche, well its uninstalled... but that's not the problem23:25
modthe problem is getting FF to recognize the sunjdk23:25
icerootmod: sudo update-alternatvies --config java   there you have to change the java-plugin23:25
bodhi_zazenhappygolucky: my mistake, midori uses webkit23:25
icerootmod: maybe you also have to change java in "about:config" in firefox23:26
modiceroot, yeah look there, nothing helpful23:26
modman, i hate firefox23:26
icerootmod: hate oracle, not firefox23:26
happygoluckybodhi_zazen: no big deal i gave up on midori a while ago since epiphany, to me, is as fast but more stable on this IMO23:27
modiceroot, i have both23:27
moder hate heh23:27
bodhi_zazendepends, midori is in rapid development23:27
modcrap, nothing is working23:27
icerootmod: remeber that firefox is reading the java-plugin not the normal java-path23:27
modi've isntalled the firefox from getfirefox.com, not the come-withubuntu23:28
happygoluckybodhi_zazen: i've noticed, me and the devloper had email back and forth on segmentation faults which he wanted to blame on java but it wasn't the case IMP23:28
modiceroot, i symlinked the plugin .so from to .mozilla/plugins23:28
happygolucky*IMO23:28
icerootmod: and "about:plugins" is using the correc t one? why not using firefox from the repos?23:28
bodhi_zazenmod: I have seen the same behavior, not sure why, went back to the ff packaged with the OS23:29
modiceroot, about:plugins doesnt show the java plugin, even when it was running the openjdk one properly, it didnt how anyhtingin about;plugins23:29
=== Corey is now known as KB1JWQ
happygoluckymod: install the icedtea-plugin23:29
bodhi_zazenYou could ask in #mozilla23:29
modbeen there23:29
happygoluckymod: your plugin is a symolic link23:30
bodhi_zazenand ?23:30
ActionParsnipmod: which file did you link?23:30
modbodhi_zazen, and here I am :)23:30
modActionParsnip lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2011-08-30 16:28 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so23:30
modroot@jyg:~/.mozilla/plugins# firefox23:30
modthis plugin needs is a vpn hook that needs to rewrite some routing tables, so i'm stuck running as root ATM23:31
happygoluckymod: i've had java do some funky things in the past even zeroing out the file erroneously, if i were you i would get in there and see the date and time on it, see that the plugin correlates to your last install or update of the jre23:31
modhappygolucky, the date and time will be whatever date and time the original file was in the tarball23:31
happygoluckymod: ls -alh to see the symbolic link of /usr/local/mozilla/plugin/*.so23:32
happygoluckymod: something like that23:32
modi just pasted that23:32
modfew lines up23:32
happygoluckymod: you would hope, i once upgraded java and found that the plugin in the mozilla plugin directory remained the old version and had to copy it directly from the source tree to where ever that sym link went23:33

Scunizimod, script it :)23:35
modActionParsnip, its no longer alink, i've hard copied it23:35
mod /root/.mozilla/plugins23:35
Scunizimod, has it got the right group and permissions?23:35
ActionParsnipmod: that's not gonna work. symlink it to ~/.mozilla/plugins    should work23:35
ActionParsnipmod: why root?23:35
modActionParsnip, tried that before23:36
ActionParsnipmod: please tell me you don't run your browser as root23:36
j3f3s0Nhello guys!23:36
modas i said, root because its a vpn hook and it needs to alter the reouting table23:36
modit bombs in chrome because chrome cannot run as root23:36
happygoluckymod: the sym link was made today what about the file that it is actually linked to, do a ls -alh on /opt/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so23:36
ActionParsnipmod: jesus that's poor design23:36
modhappygolucky, i told you that tarball files more often retain the mod time of the original files, unless told to do otherwise when the tarball was created or extracted23:37
modActionParsnip, write hatemail to Juniper :)23:37
modhappygolucky, e.g. this .so file has a date of Jun 27, 2011, which is probabyl when it was compiled23:38
happygoluckymod: you shouldn't run programs as root but if i have to i use gksudo, any other way and it can change your configs23:38
mod( as does everythign else around )... besides, I don't believe in things magically changing ;)23:38

j3f3s0NHow to disable energy economy of the wireless interface?23:39
modhappygolucky, you let me know how to alter routing tables in userland lemme know ;)23:39

happygoluckymod: aye?23:40
modbut anyhow23:40
* mod kicks firefox in the face23:40
modI don't understnad how firefox is so aware of a very specific install of the jdk23:40
ActionParsnipmod: install chromium then link it in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins23:41
D-coym4v, o/23:41
modeven when i move the openjdk aside and then symlink in the new on to look the same, it dies23:41
modActionParsnip, to run chrome as root?23:41
ActionParsnipmod: sure:  gksudo chromium-browser23:41
