[00:00] <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 it
[00:00] <yakeb> exutux: apt-get
[00:00] <aaas> phong_ i see3.. well im just trying to think on what would be best for you
[00:00] <aaas> phong_ if you know vnc that's a plot
[00:00] <aaas> phong_ but try nx to see if you like it
[00:00] <aaas> phong_ go to www.nomachine.com
[00:01] <yakeb> buddha: 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 want
[00:01] <antid> what is BusyBox?
[00:01] <aaas> phong_  if you want only open source youll have to ask people here about freenx
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> normally vnc starts at a specific port then moves up for each addational desktop. whats the poing in specifying a differnt port phong_?
[00:01] <exutux> yakeb: so if you a blank screen try to login from tty ( ctrl+alt+f2 ) and remove slim
[00:01] <aaas> phong_ you can change the client to connect to any port but you have to change the server to run on that port too
[00:01] <exutux> so reinstall gdm
[00:01] <buddha_> yakeb: what exutux said
[00:01] <phong_> aaas, anyway, since i already install RealVNC how to start it?
[00:01] <aaas> phong_  Dr_Willis is correct, i dont see why a different port is necessary
[00:02] <buddha_> and undo whatever configuration you did
[00:02] <exutux> yakeb: sudo apt-get remove --purge slim
[00:02] <phong_> aaas, why?
[00:02] <aaas> phong_ im not totally sure.. i think thats Xvnc, correct?
[00:02] <aaas> phong_ why do you want to change the port?
[00:02] <phong_> aaas, because example port 5900 is being use for windows 7
[00:02] <phong_> windows 7 has realvnc and is use port 5900
[00:02] <aaas> phong_ the vnc client on windows?
[00:02] <phong_> wnc server on window
[00:02] <exutux> yakeb: then sudo apt-get install gdm or install --reinstall
[00:02] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  somthing is confused here..  you got vnc going on  the vmware guest.. and host os? or what exactly.
[00:03] <aaas> phong_ but that is the default
[00:03] <aaas> phong_ the sever usually defaults to 5900 and the client usually connects to 5900
[00:03] <phong_> ok then, i have to tell windows to listen to 5901 thennnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[00:03] <aaas> phong_ why do you need to change it to 5901?
[00:03] <phong_> well...tell me how to start vnc server on linux thennnnnn
[00:03] <exutux> well night all
[00:03] <aaas> phong_ you need display :1?
[00:03] <phong_> yes
[00:03] <phong_> i need to display
[00:03] <Dr_Willis> vnc destops are numbered :1 and :2 and so on. thats the port+the Number.. ie: :1 = 5900+1
[00:04] <phong_> drlisten man
[00:04] <phong_> ok let me tellu situation
[00:04] <aaas> phong_  so i think realvnc is Xvnc?
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  clarify the exact issue man...
[00:04] <aaas> phong_ yes go ahead
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> xvnc 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 server
[00:04] <phong_> i instaall ubuntu on windows 7 as vmware
[00:05] <yakeb> etuxux (and) buddha_:thanks for your help. i will give this a try.
[00:05] <phong_> and later install realvnc for linux
[00:05] <exutux> but...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 ip
[00:05] <phong_> let say my windows ip is 192.168.0.100
[00:05] <phong_> ubuntu has 192.168.0.101
[00:06] <phong_> 5900 is being port to x.x.x.100
[00:06] <phong_> now i want 5901 tooooooooo port to x.x.x.101
[00:06] <aaas> phong_ router shouldn't matter if all computer are behind it
[00:06] <phong_> aaas, it should
[00:06] <aaas> phong_ you shouldnt have to mess with routing tables
[00:06] <phong_> aaas, i connect externally
[00:06] <aaas> phong_ ah ok
[00:06] <phong_> duh
[00:07] <aaas> phong_ but you said you were using vmware?
[00:07] <phong_> yes
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  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 6901
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> oops messed up.. :) lol
[00:07] <phong_> how to do that
[00:07] <phong_> that is what i was saying
[00:07] <phong_> i can't bring realvnc configuration
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> PortNumber=(port number)   in vnc config file.. according to the realvnc docs.
[00:08] <antid> why 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 commands
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> i tend to use tightvnc.
[00:08] <phong_> the problem is for me how to configure in lunix
[00:08] <Opinie> could 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 10.10
[00:08] <phong_> ok where is vncconfig file?
[00:08] <phong_> and how to know if realvnc is on?
[00:08] <aaas> phong_ what command did you use to run it?
[00:08] <phong_> usually windows 7 has an icon..it starts as service
[00:09] <phong_> i install it
[00:09] <phong_> that' sit
[00:09] <phong_> dont know if it run or not..and dont know how i can check
[00:09] <aaas> phong_ 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 fine
[00:09] <phong_> aaas, is realvnc has GUI configuration?
[00:09] <phong_> or is it command thing
[00:09] <Opinie> buddha_: it's an actual OS that I'm currently running. I guess you could call it a live edition..?
[00:09] <aaas> phong_ if you open up a terminal and do 'ps -A | grep vnc -i' you probably dont have any vnc server running
[00:10] <Opinie> buddha_: Also, the cd drive of the computer does not work
[00:10] <phong_> let me try
[00:10] <aaas> phong_ if you dont see any 'vnc'
[00:10] <Jordan_U> Opinie: How did you create the USB install?
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> vncserver PortNumber=6900    (from how i am reading the doc)
[00:10] <phong_> aaas, i dont see nothing
[00:10] <buddha_> Opinie: ok, so the USB is not an install ISO
[00:10] <phong_> so it is not running
[00:10] <phong_> how to start it then?
[00:11] <aaas> phong_ tryo vnc4server
[00:11] <aaas> phong_ try 'vnc4server'
[00:11] <aaas> phong_ 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 vnc4server
[00:11] <Dr_Willis> For a detailed list of all the Xvnc command-line options, run
[00:11] <Dr_Willis> vncserver -list
[00:11] <aaas> phong_ and 'vncserver'
[00:11] <Opinie> Jordan_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 computer
[00:12] <Opinie> buddha_: no, it is not an ISO
[00:12] <phong_> i am installing it now
[00:12] <Opinie> buddha_: *install iso
[00:12] <aaas> phong_  i thought you installed it?
[00:12] <buddha_> Opinie: 2nd question: do you have another USB stick? cause if you do that makes things easy
[00:13] <aaas> phong_ after you install type: "vnc4server :1 -geometry 1024x768"
[00:13] <phong_> aaas, i did, download from RealVNC
[00:13] <phong_> vnc4server is diff from realvnc?
[00:13] <Opinie> buddha_ Jordan_U: yes, I do happen to have another USB stick
[00:13] <buddha_> sweet
[00:13] <Dr_Willis> You 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] <aaas> phong_ i dont know what executable they use
[00:13] <phong_> oh
[00:13] <Dr_Willis> then vnc to the port 7900.
[00:13] <phong_> aaas, anyway i install vnc4server
[00:13] <phong_> now what
[00:13] <aaas> phong_ after you install type: "vnc4server :1 -geometry 1024x768"
[00:13] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  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 password
[00:14] <phong_> now what
[00:14] <aaas> phong_ try that command i had atove
[00:14] <aaas> above
[00:14] <HRuivo> thanks for the help. bye ;)
[00:14] <phong_> aaas, then what
[00:14] <phong_> what port is it listening to?
[00:14] <konr> What's that program in Ubuntu's installation that allows you to visually check a keyboard layout? Are there others programs that do it?
[00:15] <aaas> phong_ try: 'ps -A | grep 'vnc'"
[00:15] <phong_> so that i can port forward
[00:15] <aaas> phong_ do you see a 'vnc' server running
[00:15] <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 Xvnc4
[00:15] <aaas>  phong_ and this is on ubuntu that is running on vmware on a windows 7 host?
[00:15] <phong_> what now?
[00:16] <phong_> yeah
[00:16] <phong_> it has IP too
[00:16] <aaas> phong_ you have a vnc client in windows?
[00:16] <Opinie> buddha_: just to be clear, first step is to install ubuntu on the other USB stick as well?
[00:16] <phong_> on other minchine
[00:16] <phong_> i will test on other machine
[00:16] <aaas> phong_ try connecting to the ip with port 5900 and then 5901
[00:16] <phong_> externally
[00:16] <aaas> phong_ try here first
[00:16] <phong_> ok
[00:16] <aaas> phong_ make sure you can connect to the server internally
[00:16] <phong_> ok i try internally
[00:17] <phong_> brb
[00:17] <Opinie> buddha_: oh wait, never mind, now I understand what you meant. Yes, I have a partition already
[00:17] <Opinie> buddha_: set aside for ubuntu
[00:17] <Opinie> buddha_: right, I'll try what you suggested
[00:18] <buddha_> Opinie: ok, so boot up your clonezilla and clone the partition on the USB to the MBP
[00:18] <Opinie> right
[00:18] <phong_> aaas, i think i forgot the pass
[00:18] <aaas> phong_ haha
[00:18] <phong_> it asks for password
[00:18] <aaas> phong_ thats a good sign
[00:19] <phong_> can i reset?
[00:19] <aaas> phong_ yes
[00:19] <phong_> how
[00:19] <aaas> phong_ I think it's vncpasswd
[00:19] <ricree> the 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_> ok
[00:20] <aaas> phong_ did you need this over an internal network (across a router) or over the internet?
[00:20] <aaas> phong_ you really should tunnel this through ssh, but at that point you might as well use nx
[00:20] <phong_> aaas, authentication fail
[00:20] <phong_> i've changed pass
[00:20] <phong_> lol
[00:20] <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 grub
[00:20] <aaas> phong_ you need this over the internet?
[00:21] <phong_> aaas, how can i kill it?????????????????????
[00:21] <phong_> i thhhink i forgot to put the resolution          ?
[00:21] <aaas> phong_ its ok, its not connecting because the password
[00:21] <phong_> oh
[00:21] <aaas> phong_ i think
[00:21] <phong_> but i did change it
[00:21] <aaas> phong_ yeah it might be using a non defaul password
[00:21] <aaas> phong_ location
[00:21] <phong_> oh
[00:22] <aaas> phong_ do you have a ~/.vnc dir
[00:22] <phong_> let me see
[00:22] <phong_> i'm in it
[00:22] <aaas> phong_ it has a passwd file?
[00:22] <phong_> yeah
[00:22] <aaas> phong_ 'mv passwd passwd.old'
[00:22] <phong_> done
[00:23] <aaas> phong_ now try to recreate the passwd, but dont do sudo
[00:23] <aaas> phong_ then check if the passwd file is there
[00:23] <Opinie> buddha_: 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 is
[00:23] <ricree> the 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 here
[00:24] <phong_> it created 1
[00:24] <phong_> passwd
[00:24] <aaas> phong_ now you are trying to connect to vnc *on the same machine*?
[00:24] <Lounge> how can i reinstall the original ttys? whats the packege for that?
[00:24] <aaas> phong_ so ubuntu is in vmware
[00:24] <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 macs
[00:24] <aaas> phong_ and you are launching a client in windows *on the same machine*
[00:24] <aaas> ?
[00:24] <buddha_> looking up now
[00:24] <Lounge> python-pyoncl screwdup my system
[00:24] <antid> why do i get some "BusyBox" console after ubuntu load screen when trying to install (some older version)
[00:24] <Lounge> the ttys are all red and wrong sized
[00:25] <Lounge> python-pyopenCL*
[00:25] <ghuitster> clear
[00:25] <phong_> same machine
[00:25] <Opinie> buddha_: ok
[00:25] <aaas> phong_ ok and you try again and still no connect?
[00:25] <phong_> no connect
[00:25] <phong_> same authentication failur
[00:26] <aaas> phong_ your port is 5900?
[00:26] <aaas> phong_ in the vnc client its <ip>:5900?
[00:26] <phong_> just the plain ip
[00:26] <phong_> i think usually if u dont put port it default as 5900
[00:26] <aaas> phong_ try <ip>:5900
[00:26] <phong_> ok
[00:26] <aaas> phong_ then <ip>:5901
[00:27] <Lounge> how do i reinstall the ttys?
[00:27] <phong_> lol sammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme
[00:27] <Jordan_U> buddha_: 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).
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> phong_: what are you planning to do when you finally get connected via VNC>?
[00:28] <cexsum> could anyone give me a link to the file that contains fonts for ubuntu?
[00:28] <aaas> phong_ hold
[00:28] <buddha_> Jordan_U: wait, I was right about something? this is a red-letter day.
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> !fonts | cexsum
[00:28] <antid> is it possible that my disc has only "wubi" -- or something
[00:28] <phong_> ActionParsnip, just to have it available
[00:29] <ricree> on the offchance anyone was wondering, I solved my problem with "killall gnome-panel"
[00:29] <Opinie> Jordan_U buddha_ : In case it makes any difference, I already have Refit installed on the macbook.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> phong_: sure, but to what end? You do realize there are far sleeker solutions than VNC
[00:29] <aaas> phong_ im not sure.. you dont have the capslock on do you.. .maybe you should jsut learn nx
[00:29] <aaas> phong_ you're going to have to tunnel this anyways
[00:29] <urlin2u> antid, wubi is just a app in ubuntu
[00:29] <phong_> aaas, froget it..
[00:29] <aaas> phong_ sorry
[00:29] <antid> well this is broke
[00:29] <phong_> any other  software?
[00:29] <aaas> phong_ yes try nx
[00:29] <phong_> ok how to kill it
[00:29] <phong_> or other
[00:29] <phong_> how ttttttttto install nx
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> phong_: what activities would you conduct in the VNC session?
[00:29] <aaas> phong_ 'sudo pkill vnc'
[00:30] <miles> How to migrate the /home directory from one (failing) HDD to another without breaking things?
[00:30] <Jordan_U> !separatehome | miles
[00:30] <antid> is it not possible to install from a usb of 1 gb?
[00:30] <phong_> done
[00:30] <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] <urlin2u> antid, yes use netbootin to load the thumb
[00:30] <Opinie> buddha_: k
[00:30] <urlin2u> antid, unetbootin
[00:30] <aaas> phong_ i think maybe, but just download the nx client
[00:31] <Jordan_U> miles: 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 client
[00:31] <buddha_> miles: clonezilla is your friend
[00:31] <phong_> vnc for android
[00:31] <miles> Reading it now, thanks for the link
[00:31] <aaas> phong_ but answer ActionParsnip question.. why are you doing htis, file management? running programs?
[00:31] <phong_> running app
[00:31] <Jordan_U> miles: You're welcome.
[00:31] <phong_> or do what ever i want
[00:31] <miles> oh, yeah, clonezilla too. great idea.
[00:31] <phong_> lolllllllll
[00:31] <aaas> phong_ why cant you just rdp into the windows machine and run ubuntu through vmware?
[00:32] <aaas> phong_ lots of apps use rdp
[00:32] <phong_> that is running thru many thing
[00:32] <phong_> i've done it before man
[00:32] <phong_> with realvnc for linux
[00:32] <aaas> phong_ but this way is better
[00:32] <aaas> phong_ windows 7 is your host?
[00:32] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, I think the user just needs someone to talk to to be honest.
[00:32] <phong_> yeah
[00:32] <phong_> this time i forgot how to do it lol
[00:32] <aaas> phong_ just rdp into windows machine
[00:32] <phong_> did it before love it
[00:33] <aaas> phong_ then you can run windows and ubuntu at the same time
[00:33] <phong_> no man, i have phone
[00:33] <phong_> i use vnc from my phone
[00:33] <aaas> phong_ yes the phone too
[00:33] <aaas> phong_ many many many rdp apps
[00:33] <aaas> phong_ vnc isn't secure
[00:33] <phong_> why not?
[00:33] <aaas> phong_ unless you tunnel through port 22
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> phong_: 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 example
[00:33] <aaas> phong_ its not by nature
[00:34] <aaas> phong_ you have android or iphone?
[00:34] <phong_> androidddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> phong_: data sent via VNC is not encrypted in any way, it's al sent plaintext
[00:34] <phong_> oops
[00:34] <phong_> sorry i was remotely chat to u
[00:34] <phong_> sorry ffor that ddd
[00:34] <aaas> phong_ the best: http://www.wyse.com/products/software/pocketcloud/index.asp
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> phong_: android has transdroid which will allow you to manage transmission beautifully :)
[00:34] <aaas> phong_ you set your windows machine to run rdp
[00:35] <phong_> ok show me what i need to download for android?
[00:35] <aaas> phong_ youll connect with little hassel
[00:35] <phong_> sure
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> phong_: install transdroid
[00:35] <aaas> phong_ sorry that one might not be free. but its definetly the best
[00:35] <phong_> let me get out of this chat in vmware
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> phong_: enable the web UI in transmission and you are good to go
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> is 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 min
[00:35] <phong_> let me turn vmware off
[00:35] <aaas> phong_ also you can use virtualbox instead of vmware...you can run in seamless mode and run both ubuntu and windows int he same os
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> too many peope are TOO quick to reach for VNC. Its an appaulingly BAD protocol but people don't TINK to use sleeker solutions
[00:36] <aaas> ActionParsnip agreed, its only for certain things
[00:36] <aaas> ActionParsnip nx is almsot always
[00:36] <aaas> better
[00:37] <Phong_> ok i close vmware
[00:37] <Dr_Willis> utorrent3 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] <aaas> Phong_: ok first you need an rdp client on yoru phone
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> aaas: i can usually name a better solution than any remote desktop thing under Linux
[00:37] <Phong_> just to let u know, im chat with u at home pc, but connect from work ;)
[00:37] <miles> Does 'sudo rsync -axS' copies over the file permissions?
[00:37] <aaas> Phong_ 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 now
[00:38] <Phong_> what is it
[00:38] <Phong_> let me install
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> Phong_: 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 torrents
[00:38] <Phong_> ActionParsnip, i did have 8080 for my router remote as well ;)
[00:38] <aaas> Phong_ im not sure if there s free version of pocketcloud
[00:38] <aaas> Phong_ but its the best
[00:38] <Jordan_U> buddha_: 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).
[00:39] <Phong_> what is the program call again?
[00:39] <Phong_> are you sure it is safe?
[00:39] <Jordan_U> Opinie: Is there any reason you don't just install Ubuntu to the macbook normally (via the installer)?
[00:39] <aaas> Phong_ 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 interface
[00:39] <aaas> Phong_ http://www.wyse.com/products/software/pocketcloud/index.asp
[00:39] <aaas> Phong_ see if it's free
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> Phong_: then change the port of transmission's remote interface, it's all in transmission's settings
[00:40] <Opinie> Jordan_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] <ActionParsnip> aaas: true but 9 times of 10, VNC isn't needed
[00:40] <Jordan_U> Opinie: Yes.
[00:40] <Phong_> aaas, is pocketcoud connect to their service first then to ur pc ?
[00:40] <aaas> ActionParsnip again it depends on the user... i couldn't live without rdp access 9/10
[00:40] <Opinie> Jordan_U: the macbook's cd drive does not work
[00:40] <Phong_> if it is i dont like it
[00:40] <aaas> Phong_ no
[00:40] <aaas> Phong_ direct to your comptuer
[00:40] <aaas> Phong_ it's rdp
[00:40] <Phong_> ok good
[00:40] <aaas> Phong_ and maybe vnc too
[00:41] <Phong_> installed arleady
[00:41] <Phong_> now what
[00:41] <aaas> Phong_ go to windows and type 'remote desktop' in the command bar
[00:41] <aaas> Phong_ select 'select users who can use remote desktop'
[00:42] <buddha_> Jordan_U: if the system uses GTP partition table then yes you would want to install to ubuntu partition I believe
[00:42] <Jordan_U> Opinie: 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] <Phong_> more secure?
[00:42] <aaas> Phong_ make sure 'allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop' is selected (for now)
[00:42] <Phong_> i need to add user then
[00:42] <Jordan_U> buddha_: No, even with GPT you want to install to the MBR (after creating a BIOS boot partition as an embedding area).
[00:42] <aaas> Phong_ we'll change it later, some clients needs the less secure
[00:42] <Phong_> ok
[00:43] <aaas> Phong_ yes make sure your vmware user has access
[00:43] <Opinie> Jordan_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 HD
[00:43] <buddha_> Jordan_U: I sit corrected
[00:43] <aaas> Phong_ then connect your phone to wifi and try and connect to the ip
[00:43] <Phong_> less secure, do i need to add user?
[00:43] <aaas> Phong_ yes
[00:43] <Phong_> create 1?
[00:43] <aaas> Phong_ make sure your primary user has access
[00:43] <aaas> Phong_ the one using vmware
[00:44] <Phong_> aaas, slow down, let me create 1 user
[00:44] <Phong_> brb
[00:44] <Jordan_U> Opinie: Even with rEFIt I can only boot EFI based bootloaders from USB on my (fairly old now) macbook pro.
[00:44] <aaas> Phong_ sure
[00:44] <Phong_> aaas, can i give password to Adminstrator ?
[00:44] <Phong_> or create newe one
[00:45] <aaas> Phong_  who is the user you use most?
[00:45] <Opinie> Jordan_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 HD
[00:45] <aaas> Phong_ the one that you setup vmware with
[00:45] <Phong_> i only log with admin
[00:45] <Phong_> lol
[00:45] <Phong_> normally i dont deal with user
[00:45] <aaas> Phong_ name is 'Administrator'?
[00:45] <Phong_> yeah
[00:45] <aaas> Phong_ oh jeez
[00:45] <aaas> Phong_ fine try it
[00:45] <Phong_> ok
[00:45] <Phong_> let me give password
[00:45] <aaas> Phong_ im not sure if it will let you but maybe
[00:45] <Phong_> brb
[00:46] <Phong_> ok i create 1 with admin previlage
[00:46] <Phong_> brb
[00:46] <Opinie> Jordan_U: I've the Ubuntu-from-USB running computer sitting next to me, I'm currently on my macbook
[00:46] <Dr_Willis> sounds like a whole lot of work for very little real gain :)
[00:46] <aaas> Phong_ ok
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: totally
[00:46] <shayne> whats a good dvd burning program?
[00:46] <Dr_Willis> im not even clear on what the core question/end goal is any more.
[00:46] <Dr_Willis> shayne:  you mean a video file to DVD iso converting program?
[00:46] <Dr_Willis> since 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.
[00:47] <shayne> a program that will convert and burn, something like nero?
[00:47] <guhcampos> Is there any way to force a device to stay on /dev?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> shayne: xfburn is all I use to burn :)
[00:47] <h00k> !info brasero | shayne
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> !burner | shayne
[00:47] <Opinie> buddha_: I'm trying to recall how to extract the clonezilla iso to the USB
[00:47] <h00k> bah.
[00:47] <guhcampos> I have a faulty usb hdd that I'm trying to recover using ddrescue
[00:47] <Opinie> buddha_: sorry, I had to do something else in the meanwhile
[00:47] <guhcampos> but the device is created when I plug the HD to the usb, but after few seconds it disappears again
[00:47] <Opinie> buddha_: hence it's taken so long
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> guhcampos: what is in the output of:  dmesg | tail
[00:48] <Phong_> aaas, done add ...less secure -> user  done
[00:48] <aaas> Phong_ now connect your phone TO WIFI and try and connect to your ip using pocketcloud
[00:48] <Phong_> ok
[00:48] <Phong_> brb
[00:48] <aaas> Phong_ use the ip of that machine..the WINDOWS ip not the vmware ip
[00:48] <Dr_Willis> guhcampos:  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.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> guhcampos: use a pastebin if you want to share
[00:49] <guhcampos> Dr_Willis, but it only lasts a few seconds, it's a 500GB HDD T_T
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> guhcampos:  yes it may take a while.. :)
[00:49] <buddha_> I just realized something: food tastes good. Ima go eat.
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> guhcampos:  took me almost 2 weeks to recover a 2Tb hd...
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> yikes
[00:49] <guhcampos> ActionParsnip, 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"
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> guhcampos: ok find out what error -110 means
[00:50] <mukti> Is 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] <shayne> brasero always freezes up while trying to convert the file to dvd.
[00:50] <Phong_> aaas, port?
[00:50] <guhcampos> ActionParsnip, but who is issuing error -110? Udev?
[00:50] <aaas> Phong_ it should be 3389 i think.. but it hsould be defaulted
[00:50] <aaas> Phong_ you shouldnt have to specify
[00:50] <Phong_> but i need to add to router then
[00:50] <Phong_> right?
[00:50] <aaas> Phong_ did you say you are at work?
[00:51] <aaas> Phong_ and your'e doing this work at home?
[00:51] <Phong_> yeah
[00:51] <Phong_> yes
[00:51] <aaas> Phong_ ah ok
[00:51] <Phong_> lol
[00:51] <aaas> Phong_ yes then you need to forward 3389
[00:51] <Jordan_U> Opinie: So why don't you just run the installer from the LiveUSB?
[00:51] <Phong_> u sure windows listen to that port?
[00:51] <aaas> Phong_ if you have the service running yes
[00:51] <Phong_> ok bb let me add to router
[00:51] <mukti> Is it dangerous to put the volume past 100%?
[00:52] <Opinie> Jordan_U: ironically, I can't boot a liveUSB installer on the macbook
[00:52] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  not that ive ever noticed.. except for distortion.
[00:52] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  and your hearing. :)
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> guhcampos: not sure, i'm sure websearches wil pull stuff up
[00:52] <aaas> Phong_ if this doesnt work you'll have to wait until you get home and test it behind the firewall
[00:52] <guhcampos> ActionParsnip, I'm digging through it
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> mukti: not really no
[00:52] <gregday> I 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_U> Opinie: Can you boot a LiveUSB installer from a machine with a firewire port with the macbook in target disk mode?
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> mukti: +1 for distortion though, crank speakers rather than the app
[00:52] <mukti> Dr_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...
[00:53] <gregday> If 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] <mukti> ActionParsnip: Well, I'm on a laptop
[00:53] <gregday> Could by disk be failing?
[00:53] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  you normally set the pc at like 75% - then use the speaker knob. :)
[00:53] <mukti> Dr_Willis: I'm on a laptop though...
[00:53] <Jordan_U> gregday: What is the exact command you are running? Can you pastebin the exact command and the entire output?
[00:53] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  so? the actual question is? I missed it...
[00:54] <Opinie> Jordan_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 inapplicable
[00:54] <mukti> Dr_Willis: If I set my volume to 75%, I can't turn up the speakers lol
[00:54] <Jordan_U> Opinie: So how do you plan to get Ubuntu onto the macbook's hard drive?
[00:54] <mukti> Dr_Willis: I was really just asking if it was dangerous to put the volume past the 100% mark.
[00:55] <gregday> Jordan_U:  http://pastebin.com/DDrTMjhV
[00:55] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  how are you putting it past 100%?
[00:55] <gregday> Jordan_U:  mdadm --create  fails on this disk too.
[00:55] <Phong_> aaas, it's working
[00:55] <gregday> Jordan_U: But no error using fdisk to *create* sdb1. Just when I try to actually do anything with it.
[00:55] <aaas> Phong_ sweet: now you can connect and use any app on windows
[00:55] <Opinie> Jordan_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 HD
[00:55] <Phong_> aaas, however, vnc start faster
[00:56] <mukti> Dr_Willis: I opened sound preferences, and the 100% mark is not at the end of the volume bar
[00:56] <aaas> Phong_ AND if you run virtualbox in seemless mode you can run both at the same time
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> mukti:  cant say that i ever noticed..
[00:56] <aaas> Phong_ maybe because it's not encrypted?
[00:56] <Phong_> aaas, oh
[00:56] <aaas> Phong_ you're also more secure
[00:56] <Phong_> aaas, i see. cause VNC faster..maybe less secure
[00:56] <Phong_> lol
[00:56] <aaas> Phong_ and you can connect from any other windows computer without downloading anything
[00:56] <aaas> Phong_ vnc is usually solw
[00:56] <aaas> Phong_ rdp is pretty fast
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> vnc may start faster.. but be slower to actually use. :)
[00:57] <Jordan_U> gregday: The pastebin you just created is already the 7'th result in google for "Error getting MD array info from".
[00:57] <gregday> Jordan_U: I know, I've been searching too!
[00:57] <mukti> Dr_Willis: http://i.imgur.com/4DFn6.png
[00:57] <gregday> Jordan_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?
[00:58] <gregday> Jordan_U: And running badblocks on the disk returns no errors.
[00:58] <aaas> Phong_ 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 it
[00:58] <Phong_> aaas, are you sure it is not goes thru their company right?
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> once you write to sdb - you would delete the partion table.. thus you cant write to sdb1 after you write to sdb
[00:58] <aaas> Phong_ yes, its in the client
[00:58] <aaas> Phong_ certain
[00:58] <gregday> Dr_Willis: Oh, I'm recreating sdb1 in fdisk after trying that.
[00:58] <gregday> Dr_Willis: I'm not that stupid :)
[00:58] <Phong_> aaas, i like it connect directly ;)
[00:58] <Jordan_U> gregday: I assume that dd of=/dev/sdb1 works also?
[00:58] <aaas> Phong_ mess with the settings also all windows have a r'remote desktop' client
[00:58] <aaas> Phong_ you can change settings there too
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> gregday:  ive seen cases where you must reboot, or somehow reload the partition table or else the kernel uses the old table also.
[00:58] <gregday> Jordan_U: Nope, it fails. But if I make an sdb2 I can write to that
[00:58] <gregday> Dr_Willis: I did reboot also.
[00:59] <Phong_> aaas, what about for linux?
[00:59] <Dr_Willis> gregday:  hit it with a hammer... :)
[00:59] <aaas> Phong_ 'rdesktop'
[00:59] <Jordan_U> gregday: What error message does dd give?
[00:59] <aaas> Phong_ or 'krdesktop' 'grdeskto' 'xrdp'
[00:59] <aaas> Phong_ there are lots
[00:59] <gregday> Jordan_U: "No space left on device"
[00:59] <Phong_> oh
[00:59] <Phong_> aaas, you know why free?
[00:59] <Phong_> lol the freaking ads
[00:59] <Jordan_U> gregday: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[00:59] <aaas> Phong_ what has adds?
[00:59] <aaas> Phong_ ahhh
[00:59] <Phong_> that is why it is free..
[00:59] <aaas> Phong_ yes pocketcloud
[01:00] <Phong_> it load the ads
[01:00] <Phong_> lol
[01:00] <aaas> Phong_ iddnt know that
[01:00] <aaas> Phong_ there MUST be other free ones
[01:00] <aaas> Phong_ but if you use it alot just use the paid one
[01:00] <aaas> Phong_ it has lots of really really cool features
[01:00] <gregday> Jordan_U: It's hanging on that...
[01:00] <Jordan_U> gregday: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[01:00] <Phong_> aaas, thanks time to go hjome
[01:00] <aaas> Phong_
[01:00] <Phong_> thanks alot
[01:01] <Nautilus> I have an 8.04 install that's working fine (local web dev box) but it's slowwwww (apache, php and/or mysql).  Perhaps there are some things I can tune easily?  Maybe theres real verbose logging, etc?
[01:01] <aaas> Phong_ np bye
[01:01] <jcook_5xdata> Can some one help with lightdm on ubuntu 11.10? it fails to start to keeps trying to but after about 20 time it just stops. right now I am using slim it works but it does not support xubuntu
[01:01] <gregday> Jordan_U:  Nothing relevant in dmesg except for I/O errors on...   fd0.  I have no floppy drive.
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Oneiric
[01:03] <gregday> Jordan_U: parted finally returned. It lists the partition I created in fdisk, and it matches another identical disk I have (sdc). No errors or anything weird looking. I can pastebin it if you want
[01:03] <jcook_5xdata> k
[01:03] <gregday> Looks like searching for fd0 was what was holding it up
[01:04] <jcook_5xdata> ActionParsnip, k thx
[01:04] <Jordan_U> gregday: Please do.
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: np man
[01:04] <Jordan_U> gregday: sudo rmmod floppy

[01:04] <grokse> hehe, i'm trying to add firewall rules to our linux router box, and i keep locking myself out
[01:04] <grokse>  i finally gave up and brought my laptop into the server room to save me the trip back and forth
[01:05] <psycho693> Hey everyone How do I fix fullscreen lag in youtube?
[01:05] <Dr_Willis> psycho693:  you coulkd always try the html5 version of youtube in google-chrome/chromium browsers and notuse flash at all. :)
[01:05] <Dr_Willis> youtube.com/html5
[01:06] <psycho693> Ok i will try that thanks post back shortly
[01:06] <Jordan_U> gregday: No idea, please file a bug report.
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: can you give the output of:  cat /etc/lsb-release; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep "flash|gnash|swf"      use a pastebin to hold the output
[01:07] <psycho693> ActionParsnip Pm me because I have no idea how to do that
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: copy the command I gave and paste to a terminal and hit enter
[01:08] <psycho693> Ok and you want me to post what it shows?
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: then use a pastebin to hold the output
[01:09] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | psycho693
[01:10] <psycho693> http://paste.ubuntu.com/677597/ there it is
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: try: sudo apt-get --purge flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:11] <psycho693> Ok
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: there is also this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/adobe-flash-11-beta-2-released-faster-linux/
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: your ubuntu is 32bit
[01:12] <psycho693> yes it is
[01:12] <psycho693> I did what you told me
[01:12] <psycho693> not the link
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: its a good first move
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: you will need to close your browsers and rerun to reload the browser
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> *plugin, reload the plugin
[01:13] <psycho693> Ok will do
[01:13] <Opinie> buddha_: well, now I have the clonezilla on the USB, but I can't see it on the refit boot screen. Perhaps I didn't use the right version of Clonezilla? You did mean the AMD64 one, didn't you? http://clonezilla.org/downloads/stable/iso-zip-files.php I used the first one of those
[01:15] <psycho693> ActionParsnip: it doesnt even show Flash in my plugin list?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: ok but does flash work ok?
[01:16] <psycho693> ActionParsnip No still laggy
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> psycho693: what video chip do you have, as well as RAM amount and CPU spec please
[01:19] <psycho693> CPU Athlon x2 Ram 1 GB and Nvida 6800
[01:19] <psycho693> Not my main machine lol
[01:19] <craz> psycho693: what kind of CPU though? 5200/6000?
[01:20] <skrite_> ActionParsnip, hey, got sound going, thanks for your help.
[01:20] <psycho693> 4450b
[01:21] <mukti> What is the ubuntu offtopic IRC?
[01:21] <silverarrow> anyone using Tor here?
[01:21] <urlin2u> mukti, #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:22] <urlin2u> silverarrow, not Ubunru.
[01:22] <urlin2u> ubuntu
[01:22] <silverarrow> what?
[01:22] <psycho693> and Video card is Nvidia 7800 not 6800
[01:22] <horsepill> I am using natty with default gnome.  Sometimes I see my desktop background through the application I am using.  If I then use the app or move the window the background goes away.  Any ideas on why?
[01:22] <Jimmio> Hey all. I can't for the life of me make a bootable USB drive to install Ubuntu off of. This laptop's CD drive is f'd, and I need USB. Unetbootin and the Ubuntu make startup disk both fail with the BIOS saying "Boot error"
[01:22] <silverarrow> urlin2u, yes from packager manger?
[01:23] <Zungo> hi, who remembers my iusse? i think you do ActionParsnip
[01:23] <SRC> I do, now get out.
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> Jimmio:  theres other tools at the pendrivelinux web site. I alwyas use the one that makes a grub2 usb that boots the iso file. tends to work well for me.
[01:23] <Zungo> what?
[01:23] <SRC> I'm kidding Zungo
[01:23] <Zungo> lol
[01:24] <urlin2u> silverarrow, ah get the tor bundle from them it is easier.
[01:24] <Jasonn> How do I make a user not be able to use IRSSI?
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  uninstall irssi :)
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  theres other irc clients they could use.
[01:24] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: I just want it to be unavailable to ONE user, and avaiable to everyone else
[01:24] <Seb314> Hello
[01:24] <Jasonn> I need it installed
[01:24] <MOnkaii> hey yall
[01:25] <silverarrow> urlin2u: , I see, I am new to Tor, and am a bit reluctant to mess system up, and tons of packages to choose I really couldn't make sense of
[01:25] <Zungo> Jasonn: play with perms that should help.....
[01:25] <urlin2u> silverarrow, you can get the whole thing from them with a browser set up.
[01:25] <Zungo> h
[01:25] <Jimmio> Dr_Willis: Could you be more specific? There's lots of tools on that site..
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  you will have to do some serious work to lock down that user. or move irssi to some other path and add that path to the other users.. but then user 1 could alwyas give the full path to the client...
[01:25] <Jasonn> Zungo: How do I do that?
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> Jimmio:  i use the one that makes multi boot flash that boots the iso files..
[01:26] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: COuld I somehow do that without changing the path?
[01:26] <Zungo> just point the irssi binary and deny perm to that user
[01:26] <silverarrow> urlin2u: I see, for chromium too?
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  not that i know of.
[01:26] <Jasonn> :/
[01:26] <Zungo> Jasonn...
[01:26] <Zungo> get it?
[01:26] <urlin2u> silverarrow, not sure, but I think opers and firefox, not sure really.
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  user 1  could alwyas just use some OTher irc client..  You mught beable to lock it down a bit with groups.. but never needed to.
[01:27] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: Then can I make a message pop up when only ONE user sshs into the server?
[01:27] <Seb314> I am using ubuntu in Oracle Virtualbox, I have an Atheros AR9285 802.1; iwconfig does not detect my wifi card. How should I proceed to fix this?
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  user 1 could alwyas just recompile irsi from wource...
[01:27] <Zungo> or
[01:27] <urlin2u> opera*
[01:27] <horsepill> I am using natty with default gnome.  Sometimes I see my desktop background through the application I am using.  If I then use the app or move the window the background goes away.  Any ideas on why?
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  you could monitor the ssh logs. and make a script to do somthing when its triggered i guess.
[01:27] <silverarrow> urlin2u, well, either easily installed
[01:27] <Zungo> Dr_Willis, Jasonn: or just block that user...  with permission control....
[01:28] <silverarrow> urlin2u, I have wondered why opera is not in the package manager?
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  i think you need to clarify the core issue. :)
[01:28] <Zungo> yep
[01:28] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: So basically I let this user run his bot on my server, and he is using IRSSI and some other programs, and I cant tell him to fuck off and stop using my server :/
[01:28] <silverarrow> horsepill, ghosts in the computer?
[01:28] <horsepill> silverarrow: seems like it
[01:29] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  this is  Your server? a company server?  or what exactly?
[01:29] <h00k> Jasonn: please keep the language appropriate
[01:29] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: My personal server
[01:29] <Seb314> I am using ubuntu in Oracle Virtualbox, I have an Atheros AR9285 802.1; iwconfig does not detect my wifi card. How should I proceed to fix this?
[01:29] <silverarrow> horsepill, suspect it might be graphic card driver issues, I'm not shroe
[01:29] <Zungo> Jasonn, then block that user!
[01:29] <urlin2u> Seb314, it does not use a wireless
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Seb314: the wireless NIC is not important as it is virtualized in virtualbox
[01:29] <Jasonn> Zungo: So how do i set the block?
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> disable the user account. :)
[01:30] <Zungo> ugh, idk, but you need to do global ip block...
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: set the shell to /bin/false
[01:30] <mukti> urlin2u: thanks (RE: your response at 21:21)
[01:30] <Zungo> in the server
[01:30] <Jasonn> ActionParsnip: Can I do that for just one user?
[01:30] <qin> Jasonn: chmod irssi to 000
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: sure
[01:30] <Jasonn> ActionParsnip: Command?
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> I fail to understand why you cant tell him to stop causing issues on the server..
[01:31] <Jasonn> because
[01:31] <Jasonn> he will be like
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> theres dozen of annoying things you could do.... :)
[01:31] <Zungo> Jasonn: change that user $SHELL to /bin/false
[01:31] <Zungo> yea
[01:31] <Zungo> dr
[01:31] <urlin2u> silverarrow, add this to your sources list and update and install opera  deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ lenny non-free #Opera Official Source
[01:31] <qin> Zungo: Neat!
[01:31] <Jasonn> :/ I just want him to stop using my server, but you know when you tell someone they could use something of yours, and then he uses it a lot, and you cant tell him to stop
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: actually in /etc/ssh/sshd_config  you can use:  DenyUsers  name1
[01:31] <Jasonn> Dr_Willis: ^^
[01:32] <Dr_Willis> Jasonn:  i definatly could tell him to stop overloading my server...
[01:32] <Jasonn> ActionParsnip: kthanks :D
[01:32] <silverarrow> urlin2u: tanks
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: obviously change name1 to the ACTUAL name, this will mean they cannot SSH in, much neater
[01:32] <h00k> Jasonn: perhaps come up with some acceptable use policy they have to abide by to use your server?
[01:32] <Zungo> Jasonn: just lock him and catch him and block block..... ok?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: restart the ssh service to apply once you make the change
[01:32] <Zungo> yea, use policy
[01:32] <Jasonn> ActionParsnip: damnit, I already saved it with name1 :/
[01:32] <silverarrow> urlin2u:  have you discovered the tab function ?
[01:32] <Zungo> ugh
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: think about it
[01:32] <Jasonn> hehe
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: blindly copying stuff isn't smart dude
[01:33] <Jasonn> ActionParsnip: I was joking
[01:33] <urlin2u> silverarrow, where on the channel?
[01:33] <Jasonn> ActionParsnip: Do I put that at the bottom?
[01:33] <buddha_> Opinie: sorry I was chowing down. I would use the x86 version just to be safe but Jason_U might have been right about Macs not being able to boot live usbs ?
[01:33] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: do you remember me? i was the guy that was having frezzing troubles.
[01:34] <Jasonn> ActionParsnip: Do I have to restart sshd ?
[01:34] <Jimmio> buddha_: Macs cannot boot from USB. I'm 95% sure.
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> be 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] <silverarrow> urlin2u:  type in the first three letters or so of a nick then press tab
[01:34] <psycho693> jimmio you are correct they cant
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Jasonn: yes
[01:34] <silverarrow> urlin2u: auto nick filling sort of
[01:34] <Zungo> Jasonn: run sudo service sshd restart
[01:34] <urlin2u> silverarrow, that is why when I talk to you it is red .
[01:34] <Opinie> buddha_: 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] <silverarrow> urlin2u: fillin
[01:34] <Jasonn> Zungo: thanks :)
[01:35] <Zungo> :)
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> does ssh notice the config changes and restarts? a lot of services do that these days
[01:35] <Zungo> maybe
[01:35] <Jasonn> Zungo: sshd: unrecognized service
[01:35] <Zungo> :O
[01:35] <DonaldKeyz> i learn something new everytime i come here
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> tab completion is our friend. :) sudo service ss<tab>
[01:35] <silverarrow> urlin2u, yes, always correctly addressed,
[01:35] <Zungo> go find sshd in ps then,  or reboot...
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> not on a ubutu box right now.. so cant verify the name of the service
[01:36] <Zungo> or better, sudo init 3
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> sudo service status    will show it...
[01:36] <Zungo> and go back
[01:36] <Jasonn> ok
[01:36] <Zungo> to 5
[01:36] <silverarrow> urlin2u:  I  just noticed you didn't have the ":" that comes with the tab function, maybe it's just a quirk
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> best is to learn the proper service name.. not mess with init command...
[01:36] <Zungo> :O
[01:36] <Zungo> why?
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> because you dont need to restart ALL the services.. like init would do..
[01:37] <Opinie> buddha_: 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 clonezilla
[01:37] <buddha_> Opinie: yeah, I've never had any luck booting off school iMacs
[01:37] <urlin2u> silverarrow, yes I have been using the IRC for a long time and undertand
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> time to learn what the proper name is.. it maybe ssh, or sshd.
[01:37] <milk> hey 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] <rodhash> Guys, 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 x86
[01:37] <Opinie> buddha_: and I was successful in booting ubuntu
[01:38] <buddha_> live?
[01:38] <Opinie> buddha_: ok, my macbook is quite ancient
[01:38] <silverarrow> urlin2u: I'm in pidgin right now, and the red text doesn't appear even when addressed to nick
[01:38] <urlin2u> silverarrow, not my fault lol.
[01:38] <smokin40s> Hello 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] <Opinie> buddha_: no the OS I had installed on a USB stick
[01:39] <Zungo> Init runlevel meaning: 1=single, 3=nogui, 4=nogui+net, 5=X & def. Is that correct???
[01:39] <silverarrow> urlin2u:  definitely the pidgin guys lol
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> smokin40s:  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] <urlin2u> silver never used it, I don't do an text or IM other then xchat on the irc.
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> Zungo:  not in Ubuntu.
[01:39] <buddha_> Opinie: ah, hmmmm. well have you tried clonezilla for x86
[01:40] <buddha_> although I don't think they make another version
[01:40] <urlin2u> silverarrow, never used it, I don't do an text or IM other then xchat on the irc.
[01:40] <Dr_Willis> !runlevel | Zungo
[01:40] <silverarrow> urlin2u, xchat acted up the last two days, it has the red text function though
[01:41] <smokin40s> so Dr_Willis metacity uses far less resources to run is that what you are sayin?
[01:41] <Zungo> smokin40s: 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 term
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> Zungo:  2=3=4=5
[01:41] <Zungo> oh
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> Zungo:  killing compiz may cause X to exit also...
[01:41] <Opinie> buddha_: I don't think there is a version that is explicitly listed as being an x86 version, but is x86=amd64?
[01:41] <bambanx> guysfor what is used the hostname?
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> smokin40s:  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 roughly
[01:42] <buddha_> for our purposes anyway
[01:42] <Opinie> buddha_: ok, I'm trying x86 now
[01:42] <smokin40s> would you suggest a good minimal window manager?
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> smokin40s:  dozens of them. try wmx, or icewm perhaps
[01:42] <buddha_> Opinie: sorry I don't mean to be confusing
[01:43] <Opinie> buddha_: problem is figuring out which boot option is the clonezilla one. Refit seems to have trouble identifying the different options
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> smokin40s:  or jwm.
[01:43] <Opinie> buddha_: no problem ;-)
[01:43] <silverarrow> urlin2u: advantage with pidgin, has different colored nicks
[01:43] <smokin40s> thank you so much for your help
[01:43] <Zungo> really Dr_Willis? no, the session is gnome-session and compiz is a sub process
[01:43] <qin> silverarrow: irssi have colors too!
[01:43] <Zungo> i already tested
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> Zungo:  easier to do 'metacity --replace'
[01:43] <Zungo> oh yep
[01:43] <Zungo> but killall unity is right
[01:43] <gaelfx> silverarrow: pidgin also has very poor handling of large IRC rooms, such as this one
[01:44] <Zungo> so
[01:44] <DanyWalker> hi guys, i have a problem
[01:44] <DanyWalker> or a question
[01:44] <silverarrow> gelfx, i don't notice much difference except for the missing red text function ?
[01:44] <gaelfx> DanyWalker: have at it
[01:44] <Jimmio> Okay. Bad news. Dell Dimension 3000 can boot my flash drive. Laptop can't. What should I do?
[01:44] <Zungo> killall unity&& metacity --replace&& gnome-panel
[01:44] <DanyWalker> is possible add password to my zip file?
[01:44] <Zungo> yea
[01:45] <Zungo> is not ubuntu related i think......
[01:45] <silverarrow> gaelfx: nick spell error
[01:45] <DanyWalker> zip -p password archive.zip archivo.txt
[01:45] <Zungo> oh
[01:45] <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 though
[01:45] <gaelfx> silverarrow: not a problem, not sure what you mean by red text function though
[01:45] <Zungo> umm then is an affirmation
[01:45] <Opinie> really? I did install unetbootin onto the ubuntu
[01:45] <silverarrow> gaelfx: though I might not know the finer points of xchat
[01:46] <Zungo> smokin40s: use Blackbox
[01:46] <silverarrow> gaelfx, you know, address post with nick and it gets red in the receiver end
[01:47] <buddha_> Opinie: did you use unetbootin to install the clonezilla onto the other USB stick?
[01:47]  * Zungo quits *
[01:47] <gaelfx> silverarrow: I'm fairly certain that most any modern IRC client can highlight posts directed at you ;)
[01:47] <Opinie> buddha_: no, I used my MBP to install the clonezilla into the other USB stick
[01:47] <Opinie> buddha_: *onto
[01:47] <Opinie> buddha_: I don't mind trying it with unetbootin though
[01:48] <buddha_> i would do that
[01:48] <buddha_> its worth a shot
[01:48] <Opinie> buddha_: I can do that with ubuntu, can't I?
[01:48] <silverarrow> gaelfx: I'm in pidgin right now, I don't get any red highlighted text nick or no nick
[01:49] <buddha_> yep, just download the program (either from apt-get or unetbootin website) and away you go
[01:49] <buddha_> Opinie: disclaimer, I don't know if unetbootin is in the ubuntu repositories
[01:49] <silverarrow> gaelfx: though nicks are given different colors, so fairly easy to follow two or three people's conversation
[01:49] <Opinie> buddha_: you need to add a repository to get it
[01:50] <Opinie> buddha_: but I sorted that out already some hours ago
[01:50] <buddha_> ok
[01:51] <Opinie> buddha_: err, after doing this I will still have to be able to boot into clonezilla, won't I?
[01:52] <buddha_> should do. use unetbootin to put clonezilla on the other USB
[01:52] <buddha_> it'll wipe the old install on the USB
[01:53] <Opinie> buddha_: hmm, ok
[01:55] <ferreira> Hey ... look
[01:55] <ferreira> i'm surprise
[01:55] <Opinie> buddha_: 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 ubuntu
[01:55] <ferreira> peoples use IRC
[01:56] <Opinie> buddha_: … ubuntu works better than mac os x
[01:56] <gaelfx> silverarrow: yeah, but pidgin does highlight it when I send you messages, right?
[01:56] <wifiwontwork> hi i have an rtl8187 that shows as connected in NM but wont connect through firefox.
[01:56] <buddha_> Opinie: that is odd. (1st comment) 2nd one is not
[01:56] <Lasers> ferreira: People still use AOL. And it's worse than IRC.  I really have nothing negative about IRC. :O
[01:56] <ferreira> Someone from Brazil?
[01:57] <silverarrow> gaelfx: no, unfortunately
[01:57] <buddha_> wifiwontwork: have you tried "ping www.google.com" ?
[01:57] <wifiwontwork> hi i have an rtl8187 that shows as connected in NM but wont connect through firefox. using ubuntu 11.01
[01:57] <wifiwontwork> buddha_ i can ping anything but the problem is I think my internal card is allowing me to ping
[01:57] <silverarrow> gaelfx: your nick is in sort of a mustard color, thats it, text standard
[01:57] <gaelfx> silverarrow: that's very strange, because it always did that for me
[01:57] <Zequez> Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1 comes out August 10? ^^
[01:57] <Zequez> August 1*
[01:58] <Zequez> September*
[01:58] <Zequez> lol
[01:58] <buddha_> wifiwontwork: what?
[01:58] <polygon-pusher> crazying thing just happened, I ran the last updates and now unity is gone  I'm getting the older style of gnome, why?
[01:58] <ferreira> Hey ... someone from brazil?
[01:58] <IdleOne> !br | ferreira
[01:58] <I\O_Error> how to set fluxbox at minimal graphics config. 256MB RAM, old pentuim procesor gets abused when you drag window
[01:59] <craz> polygon-pusher: did you load in ubuntu classic or something?
[01:59] <polygon-pusher> no
[01:59] <polygon-pusher> thing is everything is working fine
[01:59] <polygon-pusher> just no unity
[01:59] <Zequez> Does Ubuntu 11.10 first beta comes out in 3 days? ^^
[01:59] <gaelfx> silverarrow: yeah, that's basically highlighted
[01:59] <IdleOne> !11.10 | Zequez
[02:00] <Zequez> lol, the Ubuntu bot knows what he's doing, keep it going
[02:00] <silverarrow> gaelfx: yes, but it is mustard color whom ever you adress, so not that in your face red
[02:01] <gaelfx> silverarrow: there's probably someplace you can change that color
[02:01] <silverarrow> gaelfx:  when missing a cup of coffee, i might need the red fist lol
[02:02] <silverarrow> gaelfx: well colors are sort of random, restart and you might be pink
[02:02] <gaelfx> silverarrow: I think the highlighting is always the same color
[02:03] <link620> hello
[02:03] <silverarrow> gaelfx: ,write something with out my nick
[02:03] <I\O_Error> fluxbox renders ever step of window when you drag it. how to prevent that?
[02:03] <link620> does anyone want to buy a vb 4 license? :)
[02:03] <silverarrow> gaelfx: for experiment I mean
[02:03] <JadedJacob> hi
[02:04] <wifiwontwork> buddha_ I also am able to receiver packets. However firefox simply wony work
[02:04] <craz> I\O_Error: clever name.
[02:04] <buddha_> wifiwontwork: have you tried another browser to compare?
[02:04] <JadedJacob> Has anyone used 'ubuntu rescue remix' to recover a failing hard drive?
[02:04] <bambanx> guys i am new on ubuntu for what is used the hostname?
[02:05] <craz> bambanx: hostname is the connection it will connect ie- localhost/ 127.0.0.1
[02:05] <wifiwontwork> buddha_ firefox works with my internal brdcom card
[02:05] <wifiwontwork> buddha_ yes I have
[02:05] <wifiwontwork> buddha_ could it be a kernel issue? I current have 2.26xxx
[02:05] <wifiwontwork> would upgrading to a 3.xx work?
[02:05] <FloodBot1> wifiwontwork: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:06] <JadedJacob> or even the command 'Ddrescue' ?
[02:06] <silverarrow> gaelfx: I think the nick goes in fat types, as highlighted
[02:06] <el_seano> huh.  Lagging?  Or an ungodly fast typist?
[02:06] <bambanx> thanks craz
[02:06] <link620> vb 4 license anyone?
[02:06] <buddha_> wifiwontwork: have other browsers worked? can you upgrade and stuff like that? And what are you using, Hardy Heron?
[02:06] <IdleOne> !warez > link620
[02:07] <Opinie> buddha_: I now have some sort of a command line
[02:07] <Opinie> buddha_: I think it's clonezilla
[02:07] <chipotle> how do i turn on ssh in ubuntu? i want to ssh into my machine from another network but it says 'connection refused'
[02:07] <Opinie> buddha_: I booted into it
[02:07] <link620> thanks for the message, but this isnt pirate talk from me, i wanna sell my genuine license :)
[02:07] <jrib> !ssh | chipotle
[02:07] <buddha_> Opinie: you're in!
[02:08] <wifiwontwork> buddha_ i've only tried firefox and chromium. I also cannot use any other services like xirc with the usb rtl8187. I can however send and receive packets with it....
[02:08] <IdleOne> link620: take it simewhere else please. This is an Ubuntu support channel
[02:08] <IdleOne> somewhere*
[02:08] <Opinie> buddha_: no don't get excited yet, it says GNU GRUB 1.99-0 for some reason
[02:08] <link620> KK np then
[02:08] <Opinie> buddha_: on the top it does
[02:08] <buddha_> wifiwontwork: sounds like you might be right, a kernel issue
[02:08] <blahblah> I 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.
[02:09] <blahblah> The 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] <buddha_> Opinie: hang on a sec
[02:09] <IdleOne> blahblah: try #fedora
[02:09] <blahblah> im on webirc
[02:09] <karmst> hello
[02:09] <blahblah> I can't register my nick
[02:09] <Opinie> buddha_: http://clonezilla.org/screenshots.php?in_path=/00_Clonezilla#02_clonezilla-live-boot-menu-gra.png
[02:09] <karmst> use the command to register
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> !register | blahblah
[02:09] <IdleOne> blahblah: that doesn't change the fact that fedora is not supported in here.
[02:10] <wifiwontwork> buddha_  ok thanks for your help
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> blahblah: if you want help registering, i'd ask in #freenode
[02:10] <karmst> Well I have to say I am very impressed
[02:10] <buddha_> no probs
[02:10] <karmst> It took about 1/2 a day to figure out how to build the software raid correctly in the Alternate installer
[02:10] <buddha_> Opinie: alright, select the default option
[02:11] <karmst> but other than that this thing is faster, and gets better video and audio out of it than Windows 7
[02:11] <karmst> and it's more secure
[02:11] <karmst> and free =)
[02:11] <karmst> I don't really like unity though
[02:12] <karmst> and Gnome3 is annoying
[02:12] <Zequez> And KDE is ugly
[02:12] <crazymadmonkey> hey guys, could you give me a simple formula for installing a program in the "tar.gz" format in LinuxMint?
[02:12] <buddha_> Opinie: then just hit enter to accept the defaults until it says start clonezilla
[02:12] <IdleOne> karmst: Glad you are enjoying Ubuntu but please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[02:12] <karmst> uh
[02:12] <Zequez> And XFCE is not as fast as it claims
[02:12] <SRC> zequz: take that back, KDE is beautiful
[02:12] <karmst> well I have some questions that are on-topic
[02:12] <IdleOne> Please ask them :)
[02:12] <Zequez> And LXDE have lack of much features
[02:12] <Opinie> buddha_: err, I have a grub command line in front of me. That cannot be right, can it possibly?
[02:13] <chipotle> my friend says when he installed ubuntu he didn't have to give a root password. does this sound right? if he lost his root password, what can he do to get it back?
[02:13] <Nach0z> LXDE runs with so little ram though... supersmooth
[02:13] <IdleOne> Zequez: chat in #ubuntu-offtopic, support in here.
[02:13] <Zequez> But Unity in 11.10 looks promising
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> karmst: then use a different DE....
[02:13] <karmst> Customizing the desktop? what is GTK2 or Gnome2 and so on?
[02:13] <Zequez> IdleOne: Oka
[02:13] <SRC> Unity looks promising in 11.10, do tell?
[02:13] <buddha_> Opinie: that's weird. is it not the image that you linked to?
[02:13] <crazymadmonkey> hey guys, could you give me a simple formula for installing a program in the "tar.gz" format in LinuxMint? like how do i install a program called example.tar.gz?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> SRC: oneiric is offtopic here
[02:13] <karmst> And how do you make everything more unique to the user experience
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> karmst: use themes and such
[02:14] <karmst> uh
[02:14] <IdleOne> !mint | crazymadmonkey
[02:14] <SRC> hopefully the next Unity update will make it far more stable than the current piece of trash it is
[02:14] <karmst> you'd unpack the tarball
[02:14] <gaelfx> crazymadmonkey: no one can say since that's a zipped file and we don't know what's in it, first you have to unpack it
[02:14] <linuxuz3r> Zequez, yeah it looks good
[02:14] <linuxuz3r> unity 11.10
[02:14] <Opinie> buddha_: no, none of those images. That's what was so worrying. I'll let you know, when the right images start appearing on my screen
[02:14] <wifiwontwork> if installing a new kernel is it easy to do a rollback to the original when i inevitably mess up my box?
[02:14] <karmst> tar -zxvf *.gz
[02:14] <crazymadmonkey> kk i will look on the linuxmint channel
[02:15] <buddha_> Opinie: hmm, maybe try a reboot and see if that brings up the Clonezilla grub
[02:15] <jaocb> i have a few questions before i install ubuntu. 1 does it re format my harddrive 2 what format does it use because im am currently making backups on my external hdd which is in ntfs ?
[02:15] <Opinie> buddha_: ok
[02:15] <karmst> ActionParsnip I understand the concept of themes and I find some really interesting ones
[02:15] <karmst> but how do you apply them?
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> jaocb: it uses Ext4 by default, you will need 2 partitions to hold the OS
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> karmst: check www.gnome-look.org
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> karmst: use the appearence app and you can install them easily
[02:16] <Singham> Hi..I have a "Palm One Life drive" and want to sync it on ubuntu...any ideas ?
[02:16] <somsip> Singham: put it into external USB mode. Does it get recognised as an external drive?
[02:16] <kolix> Hi guys
[02:16] <jaocb> so it will format my harddrive for me, while installing or do i need to do that before i install ?
[02:17] <lorph> hello how do I allow everything by default in UFW
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> jaocb: it can, or you can dual boot and it will format a portion of the space
[02:17] <Jordan_U> jonas: That is part of the install process.
[02:17] <karmst> ok but which version of Gnome should I use for a default 11.04 ubuntu install?
[02:17] <karmst> that's what I don't get
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> jaocb: the install media can do al the partitioning you need
[02:17] <karmst> GTK 1.x, GTK 2.x, GTK 3.x?
[02:17] <chipotle> once i install openssh-server, what do i need to do to be able to ssh into this machine from a remote network? is the init script started?
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> karmst: natty uses 2.x
[02:18] <jaocb> ok thank you. and last can it read ntfs on my porable hard drive or is there an app that can ?
[02:18] <Singham> somsip : Yes it has started.
[02:18] <kolix> Hey guys, doe sUbuntu Server come with LAMP?
[02:18] <Jordan_U> jonas: Yes, Ubuntu can read and write to ntfs by default.
[02:18] <karmst> chipotle you need to create an SSL certificate
[02:18] <jaocb> thanks for all the help
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: one openssh-server is installed you can connect from anywhere with a logical link, if you want to connect from outside you LAN you will need to setup port forwarding
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | kolix not by default
[02:19] <Jordan_U> kolix: 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] <chipotle> karmst: i'm helping my friend out who has ubuntu, i haven't used it, but he claims he didn't need to specify a root password when he setup ubuntu. though he can use synaptic package manager in his regular user account just fine. how can he reset his root passwd?
[02:19] <somsip> Singham: not sure if you'll get the bridge software working. Perhaps wirth trying under Wine if you really need it?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: the service is added to the startup and wil be started after it is installed too :)
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: you don't
[02:20] <karmst> root password is the same as original user account using sudo
[02:20] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: where do i setup port forwarding?
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: in your router
[02:20] <karmst> on your router
[02:20] <chipotle> oh. so iptables or whatnot isn't configured by ubuntu on install?
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: not by default, it is there. Just not configured
 : I want to convert videos for it. Resolution -> 320 x 480. and only .asf video format supported. any software for that ?
[02:21] <karmst> do you have a hardware router chipotle?
[02:22] <chipotle> karmst: nope, the computer goes directly to the cable modem
[02:22] <karmst> ah
[02:22] <karmst> you will want to enable iptables then
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: then it's good to go now
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: as karmst you should configure iptables as you currently have no web security
[02:23] <karmst> Parsnip I wouldn't have anyone access the WAN until they have security turned on
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: with respect to protecting ports etc
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> karmst: +1
[02:23] <bsmith093> how do i kill the oprocess that puts an icon on the gnome panel saying there was a problem checking for the updates
[02:24] <karmst> terminal window:
[02:24] <chipotle> how do you make a separate, distinct root passwd instead of using sudo?
[02:24] <karmst> xkill
[02:24] <karmst> select program that is causing issues
[02:24] <karmst> you don't
[02:24] <karmst> chipotle you have to use sudo
[02:24] <buddha_> chipotle: sudo su to get to root. the passwd to change root password
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: sudo apt-get update    should do it, if there are any issues, pastebin the output please
[02:24] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: are there any apps that make iptables firewall rules easy? i don't have time to configure iptables for him by scratch
[02:24] <Polah> chipotle: 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 privileges
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> buddha_: please don't advise that
[02:24] <karmst> you could edit the CALCs but it's just too much of a PIA to do
[02:25] <buddha_> surry bro
[02:25] <karmst> chipotle: sudo -i
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> buddha_: its not necesary or advised.
[02:25] <Polah> buddha_, chipotle: Shouldn't use sudo su. sudo <command> for individual commands, sudo -i to give an extended period root terminal
[02:25] <buddha_> if people want to do it that's their deal
[02:25] <karmst> that will keep you in sudo without having to keep typing sudo in front of everything for the current terminal session
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> buddha_: we follow the recommended methods and practises here
[02:25] <Singham> Hi..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 newbie
[02:26] <Polah> chipotle: 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 closed
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Singham: handbrake, mencoder, ffmpeg
[02:26] <chipmonk> j #evince
[02:26] <chipmonk> oops
[02:26] <karmst> what are you talking about Polah?
[02:26] <karmst> iptables is not automated
[02:27] <karmst> it just doesn't open a port until you specifically specify one
[02:27] <mukti> karmst: doesn't iptables block everything initially?
[02:27] <Polah> karmst: Well no, not exactly, but ports are automatically closed unless there's a service listening on them
[02:28] <karmst> yes... it would be a real pain to have to disable 35000+ ports
[02:28] <karmst> manually
 : Does it support 320 x 480 resolution conversion ?
[02:28] <Osmodivs> !dream studio
[02:28] <Osmodivs> !dreamstudio
[02:28] <Osmodivs> Hm...
[02:28] <Osmodivs> I can't find their channle
[02:28] <wifiwontwork> I have had a couple of kernel panicks when sending / receiving packets
[02:29] <chipotle> Polah: i disagree. read this http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-03/2878.html
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> Singham: can't see why not
 : Thanks dude....  :)
[02:30] <karmst> Hey thanks! there's some pretty niffty themes on gnome-look.org
[02:30] <karmst> Now stupid question time... Is there an easy way to create my own themes?
[02:31] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip: ok umm, how do i pastebin the output, i cant get it to save to a file
[02:31] <nuno_nunes> hi
[02:31] <Polah> chipotle: 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] <vn> hi, im on a livecd of natty, can we configure the compiz cube with that? where? I'm so lost, the interface is so different and im used to the CLI
[02:31] <chipotle> where does ubuntu have the default mount points for usb drives?
[02:32] <mesheppard> In linux how do you check which drivers are installed / missing ? In windows im used to using device manager.
[02:32] <Singham> ActionParsnip : $ mencoder
[02:32] <Singham> MEncoder 1.0rc4-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
[02:32] <Singham> No file given
[02:32] <Singham> Exiting... (error parsing command line). Whats the prob ?
[02:32] <buddha_> chipotle: if they are automatically mounted then they are in /media
[02:32] <FloodBot1> Singham: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:32] <urlin2u> Kardos, I know a person who downloaded a theme from there and had the setup wiped, pretty unusual but be careful
[02:32] <urlin2u> their
[02:32] <karmst> should be mounted to your media directory chipotle
 : ok
[02:32] <chipotle> got it, thanks
[02:33] <Polah> Singham: For multi-line text use pastebin or paste.ubuntu.com, rather than posting a bunch of lines in the actual channel
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> Singham: its a complex command, I suggest you find guides and examples online
[02:33] <bwright> How has ubunutu not fixed HL-2140 printers being recognised as HL-1270 printers which causes the wrong driver to be intsalled that totally roots anything you want to print.
 ,Actionparsnip : ok
[02:33] <bwright> And then makes configuring it back incredibly frustrating.
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> bwright: brother make linux drivers you know
[02:34] <bwright> This has been a bug for like 3 years.
[02:34] <bwright> I know
[02:34] <karmst> install the driver from source bwright
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> bwright: then grab the driver fro their site and install it...
[02:34] <bwright> I know they do but ubuntu defaults to installing HL-2170.
[02:34] <bwright> Which is a "bug".
[02:34] <karmst> so then don't select the default
[02:34] <bwright> Infact those drivers were made in 2008 for i386 only
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> bwright: i guess, have you reported it?
[02:34] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip: so how do i pastebint he apt-get process
[02:34] <rabbitrun> how do I use my TV as a monitor. I have a DVI to VGA adapter, and my VGA to composite cable hooked into my TV. My graphics card should be able to support this.
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: copy the text and go to a pastebin site to make the paste
[02:35] <bwright> and libc6-i386 in the currentu ubuntu somehow is not recognised by the package.
[02:35] <karmst> hmmm
[02:35] <bwright> ActionParsnip: Several times. I think lots of people have.
[02:35] <Polah> bsmith093: Highlight and use Ctrl+Shift+C to copy it and then paste it as you would anything else, or use > <file> to output it to a file and you can copy/paste it from there
[02:35] <bwright> brhl2140lpr:i386 depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1)
[02:36] <Commodore> I am trying to get my Ubuntu computer to read some 5 1/4 floppies but it keeps saying no media detected.
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> bwright: is your OS 64bit?
[02:36] <bwright> Yes that was what I was saying.
[02:36] <rabbitrun> i am using an ATI card
[02:37] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip: here http://pastebin.com/NVNS79WN
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> bwright: that sort of thing is one of the reasons 32bit is recommened
[02:37] <symaxian> how can i manually mount an ext4 partition
[02:37] <mesheppard>  In linux how do you check which drivers are installed / missing ? Thanks.
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: looks fine
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> !mount | symaxian
[02:38] <symaxian> I get the wrong fs type, bad option/superblock error
[02:38] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip:  yeah i know, so then why do i get the little icon that says it found problems
[02:38] <bwright> ActionParsnip: Yes so I have to cripple my CPU to some kludgey 32 lowest common denominator instruction set to get my printer to work?
[02:38] <Polah> symaxian: mount -t ext4 -o defaults /dev/sdX /media/<name>
[02:38] <Polah> symaxian: Change sdX as appropriate and <name> to whatever you want to call the location
[02:39] <jcook_5xdata> ? what is the package name of the pulse audio control panel in ubnutu. The one if you right click on the volume icon in the right hand corner
[02:39] <symaxian> Same
[02:39] <Commodore> I am trying to get my Ubuntu computer to read some 5 1/4 floppies but it keeps saying no media detected.
[02:39] <bwright> ActionParsnip: This was not required in previous versions of ubuntu.
[02:39] <symaxian> fsck it?
[02:39] <bwright> ActionParsnip: I have had this work from 7.04 to - 9.10
[02:40] <Polah> jcook_5xdata, pavucontrol is perhaps what you're looking for
[02:40] <jcook_5xdata> Polah, col thanks i think that it
[02:41] <bambanx> for what is used the opt folder?
[02:41] <Osmodivs> Hey, I downloaded some distro, and I want to know if it as a way to found out wich architecture is this LiveCD in the terminal
[02:42] <Polah> bambanx: Nothing really. Some programs install their files there.
[02:42] <Polah> Osmodivs: What's the filename?
[02:42] <bwright> The common fix is supposed to be sudo dpkg -i --force-all --force-architecture
[02:42] <Osmodivs> Polah, Uh... well, its in a CDrom
[02:43] <bambanx> ok
[02:43] <bwright> However now libc6 is not recognising the i386 variant.
[02:43] <bwright> :(
[02:43] <bambanx> thanks bro
[02:43] <Commodore> I am trying to get my Ubuntu computer to read some 5 1/4 floppies but it keeps saying no media detected.
[02:43] <rypervenche> Osmodivs: iname -a maybe
[02:43] <Osmodivs> Polah, /devsr0 I guess
[02:43] <Osmodivs> Polah, /dev/sr0 I guess
[02:43] <Polah> Osmodivs: You already burned it?
[02:44] <rypervenche> Osmodivs: I mean "uname -a" sorry
[02:44] <Osmodivs> Polah, yeah
[02:44] <Polah> osmodivs: Do you still have the ISO?
[02:45] <Osmodivs> Polah, Yes
[02:45] <Osmodivs> rypervenche, It says i686 i686 i386
[02:45] <Osmodivs> With a Low latency kernel
[02:46] <Polah> Osmodivs: Ah, are you booted into the cd? uname would work in that case. i386 is 32 bit
[02:46] <Osmodivs> Whatever that means, LOW means no that good
[02:47] <Polah> Osmodivs: Where did you get the distro from?
[02:47] <Opinie> buddha_: I don't think I'll get the clonezilla to work. I've tried numerous times without success
[02:47] <usr13> Osmodivs: This may be off topic just a bit, but did you run checksum?
[02:47] <Osmodivs> Polah, dreamstudio
[02:47] <buddha_> Opinie: that sucks
[02:47] <Opinie> buddha_: I'm pretty pleased just having ubuntu, even if it is on a usb stick
[02:47] <Osmodivs> usr13, Nah, it didn't have any MD5sum on its web page
[02:48] <Osmodivs> Well, it is  based in Ubuntu
[02:48] <usr13> Osmodivs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[02:49] <Opinie> buddha_ Jordan_U : but thanks for your help, much obliged
[02:49] <mesheppard> how can i check in linux which drivers are installed and or missing ? thanks.
[02:49] <Jordan_U> Opinie: You're welcome.
[02:49] <buddha_> Opinie: sorry we haven't found a solution
[02:49] <symaxian> how can I fsck an ext4 partition
[02:49] <IdleOne> mesheppard: if something is working possibly it needs drivers if everything is working then no drivers needed
[02:49] <Osmodivs> Linux dreamstudio 3.0.0-9-lowlatency #13ppa1~natty1~Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 2 3 11:57:46 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/LINUX
[02:49] <IdleOne> isn't*
[02:50] <Opinie> buddha_ : np
[02:50] <usr13> Osmodivs: I never burn a CD without verifying the integrity of the iso.
[02:50] <Jordan_U> Opinie: Don't give up quite yet (I'm reading the scrollback to see what the current problem is).
[02:50] <Opinie> Jordan_U: ok
[02:50] <mesheppard> But is there a way to check like in windows ?
[02:51] <Osmodivs> usr13, Since it is based on Ubuntu, is it ok to check the sum there? and if so, what version should i check?
[02:51] <Polah> Osmodivs: If it's different from the official Ubuntu ISOs then the md5sum will be different
[02:51] <usr13> Osmodivs: There is a particular hash for each particular iso
[02:52] <Osmodivs> Well, then I guess dreamstudio is a SUM orphan
[02:52] <Opinie> Jordan_U: I basically got stuck with the problem of not being able to boot clonezilla
[02:53] <Jordan_U> Opinie: That light is the optical audio portion of the audio port BTW. If you mute the optical audio channel the light will go away.
[02:53] <symaxian> So e2fsck wont replace the bad superblock because it complains about a bad superblock....
[02:53] <accel> how does ubuntu-netbook differ from ubuntu-desktop?
[02:53] <Opinie> Jordan_U : ah, ok
[02:53] <accel> for a macbook pro, what should I use?
[02:53] <symaxian> accel: Theres an ISO customized for installation on newer macbook
[02:54] <accel> symaxian: oh, what is is it called?
[02:54] <accel> window 4
[02:54] <symaxian> Its just ubuntu for macbook pros
[02:54] <Jordan_U> accel: There is no Ubuntu netbook remix any more. Both now use the "Unity" shell (which was previously only used on netbooks).
[02:55] <symaxian> accel: If you look on the wiki there might be a guide for your specific model
[02:56] <accel> symaxian , Jordan_U : is it 11.04, or is there something newer?

[02:56] <bobdobbs> If a user installs postfix via apt-get, they get access to the gui-like configuration screens in a terminal, as pictured here: http://tinyurl.com/3yeqeu6 . How do I access that process if I've already installed postfix?
[02:57] <bobdobbs> I tried 'dpkg-reconfigure postfix', but the prompt just returned.
[02:58] <Jordan_U> Opinie: OK, to recap, what *have* you been able to boot in the macbook you're actually installing to?
[02:58] <Opinie> Jordan_U: Ubuntu from USB
[02:59] <Jordan_U> Opinie: OK. What happened when you tried to run Ubuntu's installer and install to the internal HD?
[03:00] <Opinie> Jordan_U: no, I'm actually working with a working Ubuntu operating system that's on a USB stick. I don't have a USB with Ubuntu installer
[03:01] <Jordan_U> Opinie: OK, understood. Is the Ubuntu install using grub-efi or grub-pc? (if you haven't changed anything then it's using grub-pc).
[03:01] <Opinie> Jordan_U: haven't changed anything, so the latter
[03:02] <t4nk266> wondering if someone can help - am new to Ubuntu - just installed 11.4 ... have created and authenticated to a few messaging accounts i.e. facebook/icq/hotmail... and I've also logged into IRC - everything is green, I'm all connected... but how do I join an irc channel !?
[03:02] <Jordan_U> Opinie: That's a good sign, it means that your mac can boot a BIOS based bootloader from USB. That makes things easier. Do you have an Ubuntu 11.04 liveCD iso on the USB drive?
[03:02] <t4nk266> I don't see a window where I can enter the join command
[03:03] <Jordan_U> Opinie: (as an actual file).
[03:03] <Opinie> Jordan_U: live cd as an actual cd
[03:03] <bastidrazor> t4nk266: you type it in this window. /join #channelname
[03:04] <Jordan_U> Opinie: Make an iso image from it and put that image on the USB drive (again, as a normal .iso file, no unetbootin type stuff).
[03:04] <t4nk266> bastidrazor: I'm actually logged intot his channel via another computer!
[03:04] <t4nk266> I don't see a window within ubuntu within which I can type the join command
[03:04] <bastidrazor> t4nk266: what irc client are you using?
[03:05] <RussW> t4nk266  Which chat client are you using?
[03:05] <Polah> t4nk266: If you're using Empathy there's an option somewhere to open a conversation with someone. If you open a conversation with chanserv or suchlike after connecting to a network you can then enter a join command in that chat
[03:05] <Opinie> Jordan_U: I seem to have been misleading you (accidentally). I have ubuntu 10.10. But that doesn't matter though, does it?
[03:05] <t4nk266> i remember chanserv coming up, I authenticated my username..... but then I closed that window... I'm still connected to IRC.... How do I get that window back to enter commands back to the server?
[03:06] <t4nk266> I'm using empathy, haven't installed anything else...
[03:06] <uofm49426> if sudo modprobe start a module how do i stop one
[03:06] <RussW> t4nk266 This conversation is in an IRC channel, so I think it's working
[03:07] <t4nk266> As I was saying earlier Russ, I'm using a different computer
[03:07] <t4nk266> windows!
[03:07] <t4nk266> to communicate with you here.
[03:07] <RussW> sorry
[03:07] <Polah> t4nk266: In one of the dropdown menus there'll be an option to start a conversation with someone, start one with chanserv, you can enter /join #channel in any open IRC window and it'll join that channel on the connected network
[03:07] <Polah> Each time you connect the ChanServ conversation open automatically as well, I believe.
[03:07] <t4nk266> ok I'll have a look.... :)
[03:07] <Arcademan> Does anyone know if the ipod touch works well on Ubuntu and how can I get it to sync songs perhaps??
[03:08] <RussW> in the Contact list window for Empathy there is a "Rooms" menu item
[03:08] <wifiwontwork> Can anyone advise if there is a way to determine if a kernel is the cause to a usb wireless problem i'm haveing with an usb rtl8187 chipset?
[03:08] <Polah> Arcademan: Banshee which comes by default with 11.04 has an iPod plugin to sync music.
[03:09] <t4nk266> ok i've found it .... I fired up Empathy Internet Messaging - and then I notice that the File menu for this application is on the top bar... even though the window for the app was in the middle of the screen
[03:09] <t4nk266> weird - but interesting.
[03:09] <flodine> hey guys can i update ubuntu 11.04 kernel?
[03:09] <RussW> If you choose the IRC connector and the #Roomname you should be able to get in
[03:09] <Polah> t4nk266: If you're on Unity then it'll do that. GNOME and other desktop environments can display it in the window
[03:10] <Arcademan> Polah, banshee does show it there but then it disappears from the list :O
[03:10] <t4nk266> how do I know if I'm on unity?
[03:12] <t4nk266> Polah: Last q - how do I know if I'm on Unity?
[03:12] <Thelmaria> t4nk266: Are things working? If so, you're probably using gnome. :P -- Unity is the default for 11.04, so if you didn't select 'classic' at the login screen, you're probably using unity.
[03:12] <t4nk266> I think I'm using unity then! I remember Gnome from when I installed it on slackware years ago - and this looks different
[03:13] <RussW> Thelmaria...UNLESS your hardware cannot support unity, in which case it reverts to "classic"
[03:13] <Thelmaria> RussW: Point taken.
[03:14] <t4nk266> Polah, RussW, BastidRazor, Thelmaria    ... thanks for your assistance.
[03:14] <Polah> t4nk266: Unity is default on 11.04. At the login screen if you change the dropdown menu where it says "Ubuntu" to "Ubuntu Classic" then you'll them GNOME
[03:14] <RussW> np
[03:14] <Jordan_U> Opinie: No. I would recommend installing 11.04 though.
[03:14] <t4nk266> Polah: thanks
[03:15] <Jordan_U> Opinie: Do you have an 11.04 iso or can you download one quickly?
[03:15] <wifiwontwork> access to everyday programs on unity is wack
[03:15] <Opinie> Jordan_U: ok, I'm downloading it now
[03:15] <wifiwontwork> way too much work tweaking
[03:15] <bambanx> how i can install all content of the folder to other folder? with mv ?
[03:15] <Opinie> Jordan_U: downloading will take while and no, I don't have an iso handy
[03:16] <t4nk266> long shot but anyone here a) used Ubuntu b) with Dynamips c)  when studying for their CCNP route?
[03:16] <Jordan_U> Opinie: I'll be here for a few more hours. Basically what we're going to do is add a menu entry in your grub menu for booting from that iso as described here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F
[03:17] <Opinie> Jordan_U: but you need not feel obliged to stay there waiting for my download etc. to finish. if you don't mind, you could just tell me what you think I should do
[03:17] <Opinie> Jordan_U: ok
[03:17] <Opinie> Jordan_U: thanks
[03:18] <bambanx> guys how can i move all content of one folder to other ?
[03:18] <wifiwontwork> any one have experience with kernel 3.0.0-7??
[03:19] <nac-godfather> cp -r <folder>/* <folder>
[03:19] <sumikan> bambanx: you can use "place" from ubuntu mark.
[03:19] <nac-godfather> or cp -a
[03:19] <Polah> nac-godfather, bambanx: That copies, it doesn't move it
[03:19] <Jordan_U> Opinie: Basically, add the menu entry as described, reboot holding shift (to display the grub menu since it's hidden by default) select the new entry and it will boot the Ubuntu Live environment where you can run the installer normally.
[03:19] <nac-godfather> mv
[03:20] <bambanx> using mv
[03:20] <flodine> wifiwontwork why stop there
[03:20] <nac-godfather> rm -rf *
[03:20] <sumikan> mv is a command but "place" from ubuntu mark is with user interface. so It's useful and easy
[03:20] <flodine> wifiwontwork go to 3.0.1
[03:21] <Polah> nac-godfather, don't tell people to do that.
[03:21] <Dice-Man> yeah
[03:21] <Dice-Man> it's a bad joke
[03:21] <flodine> wifiwontwork or 3.1-rc
[03:21] <Dice-Man> i was about doing it
[03:23] <hetecro> I need help
[03:24] <hetecro> Anyone know anything about triple booting on a mac pro?
[03:24] <edwinkcw> After I ssh into remote machine with X11 forwarding option, I quit the ssh but it hangs. However, if I ssh without -X option, I can quit the ssh normally. What is the problem? and how can I investigate it?
[03:25] <e\ectro> is there anyway I can grab the $PS1 contents off a remote server and save the value to a variable?
[03:25] <e\ectro> nagios@server:Active
[03:25] <e\ectro> I want to do a $active =~ m/Active//;
[03:26] <delinquentme> ok so im having some wireless issues with my new laptop .. im 95% sure its Atheros wireless hardware ... i just followed this walkthrough :  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1461695  << and now the wireless is in a worse spot...  I have fewer options on the wireless drop down .. and the WICD has no options to allow to add new networks
[03:28] <JoeR1> Does anyone know of a software method to lock my cores at 2.8? They run at 2.4 and then kick up to 2.8 under heavy load and I would like them to stay at 2.8 all the time.
[03:29] <bastidrazor> JoeR1: cpufrequtils is the command line way or there should be an applet for the panel that lets you make changes
[03:29] <JoeR1> bastidrazor, Thank you, I shall look into them
[03:29] <hetecro> Is there anyone here who isn't here to ASK questions?
[03:29] <Jordan_U> !anyone | hetecro
[03:30] <JoeR1> hetecro, I suspect bastidrazor is here to answer them
[03:32] <hetecro> I have a mac pro running Ubuntu, Lion, and Windows 7
[03:33] <hetecro> There are 5 partitions
[03:33] <hetecro> In order, 1.bootcamp, 2.hfs+, 3.ext3, 4. Ntfs, 5. Fat32
[03:34] <hetecro> I want to know if I can share files (or te entire user folder) between the three without using fat32 and it's poor performance/limits
[03:35] <theadmin> hetecro: If Mac is capable of reading NTFS, yeah
[03:35] <SquidS> Hey, how do I install a broadcom driver without connecting the Linux computer to the internet, I can't get my wireless card to work on this netbook, but it's ethernet port is broken >_>
[03:35] <theadmin> hetecro: Ubuntu can read both HFS+ and NTFS
[03:35] <SquidS> Is there a way to find the drivers and just transfer them over and install?
[03:35] <lion42> ... usb stick and google?
[03:35] <theadmin> hetecro: And it's also capable of writing to NTFS, idk about hfs+ though
[03:36] <theadmin> !google | lion42
[03:36] <hetecro> Currently, if I want to use a file from one os on another, I have to copy to fat32 partition, boot into desired os
[03:36] <hetecro> Yes, but can you change the directory of the user folder to the ntfs partition, so that documents automatically are placed in those folders
[03:37] <SquidS> I've tried googling it lion, no results.
[03:37] <IdleOne> !broadcom | SquidS
[03:37] <SquidS> I have no idea WHAT card it is.
[03:37] <SquidS> That, might help.
[03:37] <theadmin> hetecro: No, because of UNIX permissions -- /home/* MUST be a UNIX-compatible filesystem
[03:37] <hetecro> Also, osx can read ext3, and ntfs, but not write
[03:37] <hetecro> And windows an only use ntfs
[03:38] <Jordan_U> hetecro: OSX can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g.
[03:38] <sumikan> I'm Japanese. In ISO-2022-JP, Can I  use "half-size katakana" on Pidin's IRC, do anyone know ?
[03:38] <theadmin> hetecro: There are ext3 drivers for Windows out there I beleive
[03:38] <hetecro> If there was a reliable way to read and write to one file system from all oses, I would use it
[03:38] <theadmin> sumikan: You might find better help in #ubuntu-jp I think
[03:38] <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 helpful
[03:38] <sumikan>  theadmin: thank you very much
[03:39] <BILLYKANE>  sumikan,I am a chinese and use wqf font  on Pidin's IRC
[03:39] <hetecro> Ntfs-3G has issues though, and you cannot move the user directory to it.
[03:39] <hetecro> Does ubuntu run on hfs+?
[03:39] <sumikan> BILLYKANE:heh! so great! thanx :)
[03:39] <theadmin> hetecro: Again, UNIX file permissions. No.
[03:39] <BILLYKANE> :)
[03:39] <Jordan_U> hetecro: 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] <propman> hetecro:  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.html
[03:40] <Jordan_U> hetecro: No, Ubuntu uses ext4.
[03:40] <anastasis> whats 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] <theadmin> hetecro: You can install on ext2-4, maybe some other unix-compatible filesystem
[03:40] <hetecro> Hm, it installed for me on ext3
[03:40] <theadmin> anastasis: Some just log in to read the messages when they come back
[03:40] <xangua> anastasis: normally that is how it is
[03:41] <Jordan_U> hetecro: 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] <JoeR1> anastasis, 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] <hetecro> Hfs+ is unix compatible, I thought. OSx is built on the Debian framework
[03:41] <anastasis> cool
[03:41] <Jordan_U> hetecro: No, OSX is not built on Debian.
[03:41] <theadmin> hetecro: OSX is BSD-based
[03:42] <Jordan_U> hetecro: Ubuntu can't write to journaled hfs+.
[03:42] <hetecro> It is definitely built on a unix based structure from what I was fought
[03:42] <hetecro> *taught
[03:42] <anastasis> anyone know where i can get help on phpmyadmin /mysql? Those channels are ghost towns.
[03:43] <wifiwontwork> flodline
[03:43] <theadmin> anastasis: I may be able to help, depending on the question
[03:43] <flodine> wifiwontwork yes
[03:43] <anastasis> Ok, stay with me...I will compose my question.. Thank you.
[03:44] <wifiwontwork> flodline do you know of anyways to determine if the kernel is causing problems with usb device?
[03:45] <flodine> wifiwontwork all you can do it try it bro and if it dont work fall back to old kernel.
[03:46] <wifiwontwork> flodline i think i did...says I installed new ndiswrapper and broadcom wireless...strange
[03:46] <wifiwontwork> no reboot required after installing a new kernel...crazy
[03:47] <hetecro> Hm
[03:47] <flodine> wifiwontwork what ubuntu are you on?
[03:47] <wifiwontwork>  dkms: running auto installation service for kernel 3.0.0-7
[03:47] <wifiwontwork> 11.01
[03:47] <wifiwontwork> i think
[03:48] <hetecro> So, what should I do chief? I really want to share a user folder for them, can it be an alias directory?
[03:48] <Corruptcom> question --  best b/w laser printer with drivers for full use features.
[03:48] <rabbi1> anastasis: #phpmyadmin, ##mysql
[03:48] <theadmin> hetecro: Answer is you can't, just can't put your entire user directory on another filesystem. A part of the directory, sure
[03:48] <Arcademan> Is there a chance of getting a hold of Rhythebox devel group my ipod 1st gen works ok but the 2nd gen/3 gen does not :)
[03:49] <Arcademan> Same holds for banshee :)
[03:49] <thetrav> I have created a public and private key for use with ssh.  When I created them I used a passphrase, however I now wish to use them via some software that cannot support passphrases.  I've already put them in heaps of places.  Is there a way to remove the passphrase (I know what it is) or do I have to create a new pub/private pair?
[03:49] <wifiwontwork> I had a rtl8187 usb wireless card I was trying to hook up, I was able to send / receive packets but wasnt able to browse with firefox or any other browser, no IRC or anything....
[03:49] <hetecro> Well, I dont want to share application folders or framework folders, that would confuse the hell out of osx
[03:49] <bastidrazor> Corruptcom: HP LaserJet P1102w :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479670
[03:49] <Jordan_U> hetecro: You cannot share your entire home directory between OSX Ubuntu and Windows. You can share directories for your Documents, Pictures, etc.
[03:49] <hetecro> Just pics, music, videos, downloads. . .
[03:50] <hetecro> Yes, that's what I want
[03:50] <wifiwontwork> anyway thanks for the help flodline...
[03:50] <theadmin> hetecro: Just make them links, then
[03:50] <hetecro> But make it default
[03:50] <theadmin> hetecro: Create a link called "Documents" pointing to some documents folder on a FAT32 drive, and such
[03:51] <talntid2> thetrav, you have to re-make them.
[03:51] <hetecro> Yes, but Fat32 does not work for me, I have plenty of files over 2gb
[03:51] <theadmin> hetecro: Then NTFS, or whatever.
[03:51] <thetrav> bummer
[03:51] <hetecro> Hm. . . Perplexing
[03:51] <talntid2> yeah, I found that out a while back :(
[03:51] <bastidrazor> trolling
[03:51] <theadmin> hetecro: Those documents, pictures, etc folders are unimportant -- you can even delete them
[03:51] <make7upurs> When I try boot off of ubuntu live usb I end up with a flashing cursor. Using partition inspector it says my MBR code is grub. I previously installed ubuntu succesfully with refit however now I'm unable to even boot into a livecd or liveusb to clear the MBR data.
[03:51] <anastasis> I 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 host
[03:51] <anastasis> ed 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] <talntid2> a created a bash script to go through and change them... heh
[03:52] <flodine> wifiwontwork i didnt do anything about to install 3.0 myself
[03:52] <Jordan_U> hetecro: Use ntfs.
[03:52] <hetecro> But when you use certain programs, they (by default) point to your *registered* directories for docs
[03:53] <hetecro> Is there any way to use the console to change the default location?
[03:53] <theadmin> hetecro: Yeah, well, it's just in their settings. If those folders are links, they'll point to the link location
[03:53] <hetecro> Ah! I see
[03:53] <make7upurs> How 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] <hetecro> Is ntfs support in Ubuntu stable enough to read and write at the same speed of ext?
[03:54] <make7upurs> I've erased all partitions involved with ubuntu
[03:54] <wifiwontwork> flodline lol...you helped me walk myself through the problem
[03:54] <theadmin> hetecro: No, sadly, NTFS write speed in Linux is currently horrible
[03:54] <hetecro> That's why I dont like fat32
[03:55] <wifiwontwork> flodline what are you upgrading from?
[03:55] <flodine> wifiwontwork think im going to be happy with what i have no problems with regular kernel.
[03:55] <hetecro> What about exfat? Windows 7 can be installed on it, how is the support
[03:55] <Jordan_U> make7upurs: Are you using the +mac liveCD image?\
[03:55] <Jordan_U> hetecro: Not good yet.
[03:56] <wifiwontwork> flodline what kernel are you using now?
[03:56] <hetecro> If only someone had the technical knowledge to program Windows on top of a Unix file structure like everybody else
[03:56] <flodine> wifiwontwork i had to do what your doing on version 9.10,had all kinds of problems
[03:56] <theadmin> hetecro: An implementation is available here: https://launchpad.net/~relan/+archive/exfat -- note that it's currently BETA, however
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: fat32 max file size is around 4Gb,  stopping the holding of DVD ISOs which are 4.7Gb
[03:56] <pedahzur> I've googled, and found random things, but nothing definitive. Is there a definitive guide for removing PulseAudio in (K)Ubuntu 11.04?
[03:57] <hetecro> I am a multimedia professional, I use all three OSes for audio/video creation
[03:57] <flodine> wifiwontwork 2.6.38-11-generic
[03:58] <Corruptcom> thanks bastidrazor i will check it out i have an office depot across town.
[03:58] <hetecro> A 20 minute clip of 4k footage takes up several GB
[03:58] <theadmin> pedahzur: In Ubuntu, you can't -- GNOME requires Pulse to work
[03:58] <GhostFreeman> is this 4k footage in REDCODE?
[03:58] <hetecro> Yes it is.
[03:58] <make7upurs> @Jordan_U no I used i86
[03:58] <hetecro> .r3d files
[03:59] <theadmin> pedahzur: As for Kubuntu, apt-get remove pulseaudio should just do it
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: the file extensiopn means nearlynothing in Linux, the data is looked at to determina what it is, not the extension.
[03:59] <zykotick9> theadmin, "GNOME requires Pulse to work" isn't correct - ALSA works just fine for Gnome in other distros
[03:59] <hetecro> I have a short film Im currently working with that is ~55GB in size
[03:59] <theadmin> zykotick9: Oh, right, that's a GNOME3 thing. Sorry.
[03:59] <theadmin> zykotick9: My mistake
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: so saying ".r3d files" doesn't hold much weight
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: lubuntu doesn't use pulse ;)
[04:00] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: lol nice
[04:00] <silverarrow> what then ?
[04:00] <hetecro> Well, nonetheless, I use all three systems, but doing what I do for a living makes communication between them incredibly slow
[04:00] <pedahzur> theadmin: What is the best thing to install in its place?  ALSA? OSS4?
[04:00] <sublim21> by 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 thought
[04:00] <sublim21> suggestions are appreciated.
[04:00] <theadmin> pedahzur: Wouldn't suggest to use OSS, but ALSA is good
[04:01] <make7upurs> Jordan_U: I used the 32bit i386 version
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> pedahzur: alsa is tried and tested
[04:01] <make7upurs> Jordan_U: I was able to boot into ubuntu succesfully previously
[04:01] <zykotick9> pedahzur, 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_U> make7upurs: Try this http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64%2bmac.iso
[04:01] <hetecro> What about a network drive? Network drives dont give 2 poops about filesystem
[04:02] <hetecro> Running on GB Ethernet here, would that be faster?
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: true, the kernel and the sharing service handle it all
[04:02] <hetecro> Would that be faster than using a shared filesystem like Fat?
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: doubt the file access time would be faster over lan with fat rather than something decent
[04:03] <pedahzur> theadmin: 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] <make7upurs> Jordan_U: thanks
[04:03] <hylian> in irssi, how can i set my nick to something other than my account's name... how can i set my nick and password permanently for freenode.org?
[04:04] <wifiwontwork> ok now i've even installed a new kernel cannot get rtl8187 usb wireless working...I have to be complicating this more than it is any help?
[04:04] <Jordan_U> make7upurs: You're welcome.
[04:04] <hetecro> I mean, if the network drive is formatted as ext4 or ntfs
[04:04] <theadmin> hylian: /network add freenode -autosendcmd "/nick yournick ; /msg nickserv identify password"
[04:04] <hetecro> Would it be faster than having a partition of ntfs or fat
[04:04] <theadmin> hylian: And then: /server add -network freenode irc.freenode.net
[04:04] <hylian> theadmin: thank you, i'll try that now...
[04:05] <flodine> wifiwontwork why are you trying to update the kernel bro?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> heckman: if its local then it will be a lot faster
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: ^
[04:06] <theadmin> hylian: You can also use /msg nickserv identify NICKNAME PASSWORD to use a nickname different from the account name
[04:07] <hetecro> Hm. . . Perplexing
[04:07] <hylian> theadmin: good advice, I am going to try this now, brb, thanks again
[04:07] <wifiwontwork> flodline 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 ping
[04:07] <hetecro> Ok. New question
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: storing on a lan storage is handy if you use multiple OSes though, also makes backups easier as there is only one copy
[04:08] <Lesterwood> guys, for linux desktop, what runlevel does the system usually start on
[04:08] <theadmin> Lesterwood: 5
[04:08] <Lesterwood> full multiuser?
[04:08] <theadmin> Lesterwood: Ubuntu doesn't have runlevels
[04:08] <theadmin> Lesterwood: But in normal Linux systems, X = 5
[04:08] <Lesterwood> ah
[04:08] <Lesterwood> why not?
[04:09] <theadmin> !upstart | Lesterwood
[04:09] <flodine> wifiwontwork ok well one of those newer kernel will work bro
[04:09] <zykotick9> !runlevels | Lesterwood
[04:09] <hetecro> In 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 router
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: I thought you said you had Gb ethernet?
[04:10] <hetecro> It goes in the wifi and out the Ethernet port to the rest of the computers in the house
[04:10] <pedahzur> theadmin, zykotick9: Sorry if you messaged me...my client disconnected.
[04:10] <hylian> theadmin: 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] <ActionParsnip> 05:02 < hetecro> Running on GB Ethernet here, would that be faster?
[04:10] <pedahzur> theadmin: 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] <hetecro> I do, using the router
[04:10] <wifiwontwork> flodline I hope so...this 3.0.0.7 install hasnt
[04:10] <theadmin> hylian: You did the /server add thing, right?
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: so if you are stuck with wifi, that's not ethernet... I'm confused
[04:11] <hetecro> The computer acts as an internet bridge o the router with both wifi and GB Ethernet
[04:11] <hylian> theadmin: i can try again. i did do it... maybe i flubbed it.
[04:11] <xFx> shell free please
[04:12] <theadmin> xFx: You want a shell account? Try Anapnea
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: i see
[04:12] <wifiwontwork> flodline which kernel are you installing?
[04:12] <hetecro> Unfortunately, since the computer must be connected to the receiving port of the router, it cannot be networked with the computers on the other side
[04:12] <hylian> theadmin: i also like sdf.lonestar.org, good people over there, running fairly old but reliable unix servers.
[04:13] <flodine> wifiwontwork im not im going to be happy all is working on both laptop.are you on a dell?
[04:13] <theadmin> hylian: Well, Anapnea has a friendly community, and a TON of development tools... Besides, the only shell provider I found that has Finch
[04:13] <hetecro> The 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 works
[04:14] <hylian> theadmin: hmm, good to know.
[04:14] <ryoohki> is there a seperate ubuntu sysadmin channel?  ubuntu-server?
[04:14] <wifiwontwork> flodline I'm on an HP. everything works fine out of the box, but i think the rtl8187 chipset might be way buggy...
[04:15] <Chris_0076> hmm, I will ask again because I still have not gotten a response, I have a problem with Compiz, when I move a window on the screen and watch system monitor compiz jumps up to 100% cpu usage =/
[04:15] <hetecro> Is there a way to stop this paradox and have the computer both serve the internet from the wifi to the router and also connect to the network of the router?
[04:16] <flodine> wifiwontwork im on a hp 8510w
[04:16] <nitetrip> hetecro, try different subnets?
[04:16] <wifiwontwork> envy here. 3.1 here I come
[04:16] <wifiwontwork> lol
[04:17] <pedahzur> theadmin, zykotick9: Yay!  For some reason, my USB headset is now working...I wonder if there has been an update since the last time I tried it.
[04:17] <flodine> wifiwontwork lol
[04:17] <hetecro> If I do that, the computers on my personal network no longer receive internet from th router
[04:17] <nitetrip> you have to have them all on the same subnet
[04:17] <wifiwontwork> I hope this works i'm sick of hearing myself b1tch about my wifi
[04:17] <hetecro> It's working like a wireless bridge
[04:17] <flodine> wifiwontwork why not go for it bro
[04:18] <flodine> wifiwontwork your on a hp what?
[04:18] <robin0800> hetecro, think if you have two nic cards you can do it
[04:18] <hetecro> No, the two Ethernet ports are on the same card
[04:18] <hetecro> Or, to be more specific, they are both on the mobocracy
[04:19] <xFx> theadmin I want an ssh account, do you have?
[04:19] <theadmin> xFx: Join #anapnea, they can give you one
[04:19] <robin0800> hetecro, thats what I mean you need two cards
[04:19] <hylian> theadmin: i went over it this time, and it works. for freenode, you have to add a wait command... (nickserv is a little slower than irssi expects.) thanks again! :)
[04:19] <theadmin> hylian: Ah, makes sense
[04:20] <hetecro> Why cant technology just work the way it does in my head?
[04:20] <theadmin> hetecro: If you'd try installing Linux on your brain you'd have much more trouble :P
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: network logic isn't what you think. Connecting 2 NICs to the same subnet causes all sorts of badness
[04:20] <robin0800> hetecro, perhaps your heads not right
[04:21] <flodine> wifiwontwork later bro
[04:21] <wifiwontwork> flodline hp envy 17 2100
[04:21] <wifiwontwork> later bro
[04:21] <hetecro> Maybe not, but it should be able to send the internet from the wifi to the router, then receive into the other Ethernet port from the router
[04:21] <G0R> Does anyone remember the gnome applet to copy/paste currency symbols?  I've been trying to find it but can't seem to anywhere, would love to get it back
[04:22] <Opinie> hetecro: please clarify
[04:22] <hetecro> Ok.
[04:22] <Opinie> hetecro: I think I've that set up working right now
[04:22] <hetecro> The internet comes into my computer via wifi
[04:22] <Opinie> mm?
[04:23] <hetecro> The computer has two Ethernet ports
[04:23] <Opinie> yes
[04:23] <hetecro> I have a router connected to one Ethernet port receiving the internet
[04:23] <Opinie> the wifi router?
[04:23] <hetecro> Then I have all of my other computers connected to said router
[04:24] <hetecro> It is a wifi router.
[04:24] <baker> im having ishues with (ati catalist control center) not saving settings. Vertical refresh always on to stop tearing
[04:24] <Opinie> and that is the source of the internet?
[04:24] <hetecro> But not the same one the computer is receiving the internet from
[04:25] <qin> G0R: character palette?
[04:25] <Opinie> so router A receives the internet and is connected to the wifi router (router B), which then shares the internet via wifi to other computers?
[04:25] <baker> anyone else here know how to fix that?
[04:26] <hetecro> My apartment complex uses a wireless signal, but networking is not allowed. So in order to both receive internet AND network, I had to re-distribute the internet
[04:26] <hetecro> Make sense?
[04:26] <Opinie> ah right
[04:26] <Opinie> yeah
[04:26] <Opinie> makes sense
[04:26] <Opinie> you ought to be able to do that
[04:26] <magn3ts> Does rhythmbox ever quit for y'all or are you forced to force Quit it every, single time as well?
[04:26] <nitetrip> and the answer is to change the subnet of your personal network
[04:27] <Opinie> unless the apartment complex has some sorts of measures to prevent that kind of thing happening, but I wouldn't know about them
[04:27] <hetecro> So wifi A goes into computer A, then computer A shares internet from wifi A to wifi B
[04:27] <wifiwontwork> Does this make sense to anyone, able to do radio network analysis but cannot connect to the net (ie cannot ping) through a wireless usb card?
[04:27] <bambanx> guys how can i know the path of a file on terminal?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: not one I use dude, are there any bugs reported
[04:27] <hetecro> Computers b through X receive internet from wifi B
[04:27] <G0R> qin:  Don't think so.  It just had the main four currency symbols on the panel
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> bambanx: of a command, you mean?
[04:27] <bambanx> yes
[04:28] <hetecro> However, computer A cannot communicate with computers b-x
[04:28] <Opinie> hetecro: with a mac that would be easy to accomplish, but I really don't know how to do it in ubuntu
[04:28] <bambanx> i need to know a path of a file in command line
[04:28] <baker> ati catalyst center saving setting but when loging in and out it shows its saved
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> bambanx: which command    e.g.    which gedit
[04:28] <baker> but not really
[04:28] <baker> why?
[04:28] <iceroot> what is the package-name of the usb-start-disc-creator from gnome?
[04:28] <baker> is it a bug or something anyone here have a fix
[04:28] <bambanx> ok
[04:29] <baker> its a v-sync ishue
[04:29] <bambanx> thanks actionparsnip
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> bambanx: say what you mean in future, makes things quicker ;)
[04:29] <hetecro> When plugging router B into computer A's second Ethernet port, a technical paradox occurs and Computer A no longer sends the internet signal to wifi B
[04:29] <hetecro> And the router/wifi no longer works for computer's B-X
[04:29] <nitetrip> hetecro, the paradox is that you are using the same subnet for both networks, so they can't tell each other apart
[04:29] <baker> yo actionparsnip
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> baker: sup
[04:30] <UoUeAa> howdy?
[04:30] <hetecro> How would I change the subnet and still receive internet connection on the router AND network all the computers
[04:30] <baker> well i have rebuit a new system and finding out it was a bad cap causing my ishues not to boot
[04:30] <UoUeAa> how can i get a built-in card reader to work on ubuntu 10.04?
[04:30] <hetecro> When the subnet is changed, the internet stops working
[04:30] <baker> im on ati radeon
[04:31] <baker> getting a tearing effect
[04:31] <nitetrip> change the subnet on the other interface
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: run:  lsusb   one line will identify the device
[04:31] <bambanx> ActionParsnip : which dont show me nothing :(
[04:31] <baker> in ati control center its not saving my setting for vertical refresh?
[04:31] <hetecro> So. Computer A is on two subnets, one for receiving and distributing the internet and one for networking?
[04:32] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: tarminal or root tarminal?
[04:32] <nitetrip> yes
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: normal terminal, or I would have said:  sudo lsusb     no need to EVER use a root terminal
[04:33] <nitetrip> hetecro, and all your other computers have to be on this "networking" subnet
[04:33] <baker> actionparnsnip do you know a fix man?
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> bambanx: then you either typed the command wrong or it doesn't exist
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> baker: to what?
[04:34] <hetecro> Imma make a diagram, and maybe you can help me to visualize it
[04:34] <baker> do you have ati
[04:34] <baker> graphics
[04:34] <bambanx> just dont show me nothing
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> baker: no, and never will
[04:34] <baker> lol
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> bambanx: try:  which gedit     the command exists and it shows you the actual binary ran
[04:35] <baker> my opinion its better than nvidia on ubuntu
[04:35] <bambanx> ok
[04:35] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677693/
[04:36] <baker> of the bat i could use the effects without installing the video driver
[04:36] <baker> pretty nice if you ask me
[04:36] <baker> just installed the ati driver
[04:36] <baker> to fix my tearing problem
[04:36] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: i already have a 2-gig card in it right now
[04:37] <baker> ment off the bat typo
[04:37] <baker> 9off)
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see the 2Gb partition
[04:37] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677694/
[04:38] <baker> no 1000gb
[04:38] <baker> lol
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> baker: i use nvidia, they have supported Linux for ages, so they get my money
[04:38] <Jordan_U> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:38] <baker> wounder why i could turn the effect without insalling a driver for the video graphics
[04:39] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677695/
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> baker: the open driver gives the features it needs
[04:39] <baker> anyone here use ati and have catalyst installed?
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: if you run:  lspci   is the reader shown there?
[04:40] <baker> but not on nvidia?
[04:40] <attj> baker, I have ati and catalyst installed
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> baker: my system under kde gets ok effects under kde
[04:41] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip:http://paste.ubuntu.com/677697/
[04:41] <baker> attj do you get a tearing type effect when moving your wobley window
[04:41] <attj> in 11.04?
[04:41] <gaelfx> baker: probably related to the status of the free drivers
[04:41] <baker> na on 10.10
[04:42] <attj> baker, ok, but no i get that kind of effect
[04:42] <baker> gaelfx i figgured the ishue out in more settings
[04:42] <baker> its a vertica refresh problem
[04:42] <kennethadammille> anyone use vmware fusion?
[04:43] <WebETGUser401> hey guys
[04:43] <WebETGUser401> i just installed
[04:43] <nitetrip> anyone know what driver i need to use for this ethernet card? "Ethernet controller: O2 Micro, Inc. Device 0985 (rev 11)"
[04:43] <kennethadammille> I know that I'm off topic, I'm asking to be pointed in the right direction
[04:43] <baker> attj go to catalyst control center and look for more setting under 3d then houver your mouse ouver performance
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: ok it's a Texas Instruments PCI1620    use that to find guides
[04:43] <baker> it will tell about it and how to fix it
[04:44] <attj> baker, sorry but i'm at work now :(
[04:44] <gaelfx> kennethadammille: I know this is not what you want, but have you considered virtualbox?
[04:44] <attj> different computer
[04:44] <kolix> hi guys
[04:44] <baker> settings must be (Always on) Quility
[04:44] <baker> works but when loging off or rebooting it dosnt stay nice and smooth
[04:44] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: how friend
[04:45] <baker> odd might be a bug in 10.10
[04:45] <kolix> I just installed Ubuntu Server....but forgot to install the recoomended packages
[04:45] <kolix> how do i reinstall these packages from the terminal?
[04:45] <baker> try it when you get the chance
[04:45] <kolix> does Ubuntu Server come with a GUI?
[04:45] <baker> attj
[04:45] <Jordan_U> nitetrip: Ethernet cards are almost always supported out of the box. Do you see an ethernet interface in "ifconfig"?
[04:45] <gaelfx> kolix: no
[04:45] <gaelfx> kolix: you can install one if you want to though
[04:45] <kolix> ok
[04:46] <nitetrip> Jordan_U, not for this card unfortunately. I have 2 nics installed but only an eth0
[04:46] <kolix> gaelfx: I forgot to install LAMP, openSSH, and Tomcat from the options menu
[04:46] <baker> actionparnsnip are you using the latest ubuntu?
[04:46] <Jordan_U> kolix: sudo tasksel
[04:46] <kolix> how can i install these from terminal?
[04:46] <kolix> ok I'll try that
[04:46] <kolix> one more quick question
[04:46] <gaelfx> kolix: you can use Taskel to install LAMP, apt-get to install OpenSSH and I don't know about tomcat
[04:47] <kolix> my terminal cuts off at the bottom, how do i scroll down?
[04:47] <gaelfx> *tasksel haha
[04:47] <baker> why not use file zilla for oppen ssh
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> baker: I'm using oneiric throughout
[04:47] <theadmin> kolix: You can normally scroll with pageup/pagedown keys if scroll lock is on
[04:47] <need_suse> hey 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] <gaelfx> kolix: there's a handy guide about installing LAMP on the ubuntu help documentation
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> baker: use TAB to autocomplete names
[04:47] <theadmin> need_suse: Unetbootin
[04:47] <theadmin> need_suse: But honestly that's more of a SUSE question
[04:48] <need_suse> @theadmin, doesn't work
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: the OS installed currently is Ubuntu, just wants to use a Suse ISO with it
[04:48] <theadmin> need_suse: You can also simply: sudo dd if=somefile.iso of=/dev/sdz # sdz = your usb stick.
[04:48] <baker> That a OS Im a bit of a newb
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> need_suse: could try usb-creator
[04:48] <Polah> kolix: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server openssh-servers tomcat6
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> need_suse: can you expand on "doesn't work", it doesn'ty help a lot
[04:49] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: how can i see the kernel im using?
[04:49] <Jordan_U> theadmin: Are you sure SuSe supports being dd'd to a drive? Most isos don't.
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> baker: yes it's the pre-release
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: uname -a
[04:49] <need_suse> ActionParship, it only works for ubuntu based OS
[04:49] <theadmin> Jordan_U: I know Fedora does... And I'm pretty certain SuSE did too, but I'm not 100% sure
[04:49] <kolix> are thoese what come with the default installation of ubuntu server 11.04
[04:49] <baker> another new ubuntu project?
[04:49] <baker> beta
[04:49] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Yep, it does
[04:49] <theadmin> Jordan_U: 11.04 does at least
[04:50] <baker> what do you mean TAB not autfiling
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> need_suse: could try th 1 2 3 app from pendrivelinux if you have a windows system around
[04:50] <Jordan_U> need_suse: Unetbootin supports OpenSuSe, Ubuntu's "USB Startup Disk Creator" does not (and is not Unetbootin).
[04:50] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Err, 11.4
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> baker: no, its the next release of ubuntu, do some websearching and you'll see exactly what it is
[04:50] <Polah> kolix: I know openssh-server is the default SSH server and a standard LAMP stack is Apache, MySQL and PHP5.
[04:50] <need_suse> Jordan_U, Unetbooting only supports OpenSUSE 11.1!!
[04:51] <baker> thats what i was talking about a new ubuntu lol
[04:51] <kolix> ok guys, im kind anew to ubuntu
[04:51] <baker> its a beta or a leak reslease
[04:51] <Polah> need_suse: unetbootin allows you to select a pre-downloaded ISO as well
[04:51] <gaelfx> Polah: tasksel is a much easier way to install LAMP
[04:51] <baker> that you are using
[04:51] <baker> actionparsnip
[04:51] <Polah> gaelfx, tasksel?
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> baker: its the alpha release, its not beta til 4th Sept, its not leaked at all
[04:51] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677700/
[04:52] <theadmin> need_suse: You can do the dd thing I suggested
[04:52] <need_suse> Polah, Unetbooting doesn't have the latest version of opensuse
[04:52] <theadmin> need_suse: It's sure to work
[04:52] <baker> lol first release whatever man
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: why do I need that?
[04:52] <gaelfx> kolix: Polah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[04:52] <Polah> need_suse, it doesn't have the latest Ubuntu either. Download the ISO and select that from unetbootin
[04:52] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: do you think the patch at the end of this might work, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=420721&page=7
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> baker: try researching, the web will answer your questions easily and free me up to help people with more technical questions
[04:52] <Jordan_U> need_suse: Using the disk image option might work, but that is more of a question for #suse.
[04:52] <need_suse> Polah, I tryed that before.
[04:53] <kolix> guys i'm at command prompt again
[04:53] <theadmin> need_suse: Do the dd thing, seriously, it works fine according to their wiki
[04:53] <kolix> i can't get to user@hostname
[04:53] <Polah> kolix: What do you mean you can't get to it?
[04:53] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: it's ubuntu_2.6.24-21_tifm_ms.patch.zip, and my kernel is http://paste.ubuntu.com/677700/
[04:53] <need_suse> theadmin, how do I do it? I'm not a pro at the terminal
[04:53] <kolix> the last words in terminal are this
[04:54] <baker> Actionparsnip is natty more stable
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> baker: massively, yes
[04:54] <kolix> "ubuntu comes with absolutely no warranty, to the extent permitted by applicable law"
[04:54] <theadmin> need_suse: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick#Linux_Instructions_2
[04:54] <kolix> i dont have access to user@hostname to type commands
[04:54] <baker> what about plymouth ishues with res on boot and shutdown?
[04:54] <Polah> kolix: When you first log in? Perhaps give it a few moments to show up
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: the kernel version is different so not sure. Have you tried Oneiric liveCD to test there?
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> baker: depends on video chip and used driver
[04:55] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: what is that?
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> baker: I'm not very interested in plymouth, as long as I get my login screen, what happens before that is of no consequence to me
[04:55] <Hot2Trot> can someone help me with the blasted 'find' command, i swear it just don't work on my computer
[04:55] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: Huh?
[04:56] <Polah> Hot2Trot: What are you trying to find, apart from help?
[04:56] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: The syntax is simple, "find directory" is the basic idea
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: its the next release of ubuntu, it has a different kernel which may make it work
[04:56] <Hot2Trot> I run simple 'find '*summer*'' in my hoome directory, and in my /home/me/downloads/ there is a xxxxxsummer.pdf
[04:56] <Hot2Trot> and it just hangs forever
[04:56] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: That's not the way you do it
[04:56] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: You want: find ~ -iname '*summer*'
[04:57] <Hot2Trot> oh sorry, i pu the -name flag though
[04:57] <Hot2Trot> is the currect directory not automatic?
[04:57] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: Nope
[04:57] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: You can use . for current directory
[04:57] <Polah> theadmin: What's the ~ for in that find command?
[04:57] <kolix> ok guys walek me through this again real quick
[04:57] <ssargennto> this isnt a strictly ubuntu based question i guess. but does anybody know a good yahoo messenger alternative to gyache or pidgin? is there another?
[04:58] <UoUeAa> ActionParsnip: i don't wanna change the LTS, thanks for your help friend.
[04:58] <Hot2Trot> theadmin: ok, other quick, what if I want to exclude symbolic links?
[04:58] <baker> well my mobo graphics card is not that bad i got hdmi,vga and dmi plugins. Not really a pc gamer
[04:58] <kolix> how do install the defualt packages that come with Ubuntu Server 11.04 from terminal prompt?
[04:58] <Polah> theadmin: Oh nevermind, directory
[04:58] <kolix> taskel for LAMP
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> UoUeAa: i'd say it was worth it, just to test
[04:58] <kolix> i need lamp, ssh, tomcat
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> kolix: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server     probably
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> !info ubuntu-server
[04:58] <Polah> kolix: sudo apt-get install tasksel tomcat6 openssh-server      , then run tasksel and select LAMP server.
[05:00] <kolix> my damn terminal is getting cut out again, is there a keyboard shortcut that takes me automatically to the end?
[05:01] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: Hm... find ~ -type f -type d -iname "*lol*"
[05:01] <need_suse> kolix, ALT-F4
[05:01] <need_suse> don't click
[05:01] <kevin_> hello
[05:01] <gaelfx> kolix: are you sure it's not a screen resolution issue?
[05:01] <kevin_> Does anyone use the Emerald theme manager in here?
[05:01] <kolix> loged me out
[05:01] <Hot2Trot> theadmin: thanks very much
[05:02] <Polah> kolix: 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-mysql
[05:02] <theadmin> Hot2Trot: -type specifies filetypes to search for: f = file, d = directory, l = link
[05:02] <kolix> Polah, I'm not that advanced
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> kevin_: emerald is 3 years dead
[05:02] <kolix> I just forgot to select the packages when i had the option during installation
[05:02] <kevin_> well what do you use for a theme manager?
[05:03] <kolix> I don't have one
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> kevin_: openbox
[05:03] <theadmin> kevin_: Compiz, mostly
[05:03] <theadmin> kevin_: I use xf4wm here
[05:03] <Polah> kolix: 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 restart
[05:03] <kolix> i want the terminal to scroll automatically
[05:03] <kevin_> ok... So then how do you apply the theme?
[05:03] <kolix> i have to figure out this terminal issue first ^.^
[05:03] <gaelfx> kolix: if you're going to be using server edition, using sudo apt-get install is the most basic thing you'll be doing on it
[05:03] <theadmin> kolix: Make sure scroll lock is off
[05:04] <raj-darkmystery> one quick-question.. what command will show me the output of all the commands ran by all users in last 5 days?
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> kevin_: apply what theme?
[05:04] <baker> pain and the ask if you ask me why not stay simple?
[05:04] <baker> ;)
[05:05] <kolix> ok
[05:05] <Jouva> So 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] <kolix> hey guys, when ever i press alt + f1, f2 etc... the tty number changes
[05:05] <kolix> what is this?
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> Jouva: did you MD5 test the ISO you transferred?
[05:05] <magnus> hi
[05:05] <theadmin> kolix: The TTY number...
[05:05] <kevin_> Jouva get unetbootin
[05:05] <kolix> what does it mean?
[05:05] <kevin_> it will create a bootable flash drive installer for you
[05:05] <theadmin> kolix: TTYs are consoles, from 1 to 7, accessible by Ctrl+Alt+F{1-7}
[05:06] <Jouva> kevin_: Wiki says it only makes one that's bootable for WINDOWS
[05:06] <kevin_> nope it will do both
[05:06] <Jouva> Oh ok lemme check that out
[05:06] <kolix> ok cool
[05:06] <Polah> kolix: You have several TTYs available for use by default. You can log on as different users on each one simultaneously.
[05:06] <kolix> thanks
[05:06] <kolix> cool
[05:06] <Jouva> kolix: Think of them as like virtual desktops in text mode
[05:06] <theadmin> kolix: If you want to run several terminal programs at the same time, consider getting "tmux" or "screen"
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> Jouva: it will work with crappy macs
[05:06] <baker> jouva try a youtube video
[05:06] <baker> or something
[05:06] <theadmin> kolix: Using TTYs for that normally makes no sense
[05:06] <Polah> theadmin, kolix: I believe screen comes by default
[05:07] <kolix> do i need to be root to apt-get?
[05:07] <Polah> kolix: Yes, use sudo
[05:07] <gaelfx> kolix: generally, yes
[05:07] <kolix> i didn set a root password
[05:07] <Jouva> You don't
[05:07] <gaelfx> kolix: it's the password of the first account you made
[05:07] <theadmin> Polah: Not sure about that, am not an Ubuntu user for a long time
[05:07] <Polah> kolix: prepend commands with sudo and enter your own, provided the account is an administartor
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> kolix: use sudo and when asked for a password, use your login password
[05:08] <Polah> theadmin: I remember finding it on my old install and I didn't remember installing it. Maybe I did and forgot
[05:08] <kolix> ok thanks guys
[05:08] <Jouva> kolix: 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 default
[05:08] <kolix> thanks for your patience ^.^
[05:08] <raj-darkmystery> guys anyone knows? what command will show me the output of all the commands ran by all users in last 5 days?
[05:09] <Hot2Trot> is there some standard flag or option to use to make something open without keeping the asosciated virtual terminal open as well?
[05:09] <kolix> cool thanks
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: use ALT+F2
[05:09] <kolix> how do i figure out this reolution situation?
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: the parent process needs to be running for it's children to keep running
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> raj-darkmystery: you can use the history command to see a list of executed commands, not sure about the age though
[05:10] <gaelfx> Hot2Trot: I think you can use nohup to do that
[05:10] <Polah> Hot2Trot: 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] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a way of selecting two windows and tiling them?
[05:11] <Jouva> kevin_: the unetbootin page says it will only boot on Windows even if you use the Mac version
[05:11] <Hot2Trot> Polah: 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] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: are you using compiz?
[05:11] <Polah> dsnyders: Compiz can automatically tile windows if you drag them to the left or right of your screen
[05:11] <raj-darkmystery> ActionParsnip, 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] <baker> actionparsnip  program  to burn iso on ubuntu?
[05:11] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, maybe.  I'm not sure.
[05:11] <Jouva> Install it
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> !burner | baker
[05:11] <Polah> Hot2Trot: 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] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: do you use desktop effects?
[05:12] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, my windows are "rubbery when I move them"
[05:12] <kevin_> from OSX right?
[05:12] <Hot2Trot> Polah: just did, it does
[05:12] <Hot2Trot> Polah: curiouser and curiouser
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: good enough, drag a window to the side and it will snap like in Win7 etc
[05:12] <Jouva> I'm trying to install it and keep OSX
[05:12] <Polah> Hot2Trot: Good to know (:
[05:12] <gaelfx> dsnyders: that's Desktop Effect :D
[05:13] <gaelfx> *Effects
[05:13] <baker> dsnyders your just getting started man or your somking some funking shiz
[05:13] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, So they'll snap but I'd still have to resize them manually?
[05:14] <Polah> dsnyders: They'll snap to half the width of your screen by default I believe
[05:14] <Jouva> kevin_: 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 that
[05:14] <baker> why not just double click top bar on window
[05:14] <baker> opens to full like windows
[05:14] <Polah> Jouva: Using a CD or USB gives you the same Live session and outcome. The only difference is the method used to start the Live session
[05:14] <gaelfx> Jouva: maybe if you make a persistent Flash drive, but other than that, it should be essentially the same
[05:15] <dsnyders> baker, I want two windows each half filling the screen.
[05:15] <Jouva> Polah: Have you successfully booted a MacBookPro from a Live version of Ubuntu via a USB flash drive?
[05:15] <Polah> Jouva: I can't say I have
[05:16] <kolix> guys, my terminal is cutting off the last 4 lines, so i can see the current position in my terminal
[05:16] <Jouva> Polah: Yeah. It's a Mac. So it likes to do things its own way and get in the way with everything :P
[05:16] <kolix> how can i fix this?
[05:16] <baker> you need compiz settings manager
[05:16] <magnus> I 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] <kolix> *cant
[05:16] <baker> and get extra plugins that are not supported
[05:16] <dsnyders> Actually, I'm looking for a two paned file gui manager
[05:17] <baker> as i can reamemer there was one like that windows 7 thing
[05:17] <gaelfx> Jouva: there aren't any tools you can use to manipulate the boot order?
[05:18] <sublim21> can someone help a new guy  to ubuntu follow this guide?http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169749
[05:18] <Jouva> gaelfx: 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 process
[05:19] <gaelfx> man, I'm glad I never bought another Mac after college
[05:19] <asdjaputra> y?
[05:19] <kolix> ok fixed that problem
[05:19] <kolix> now i just have a ">" at terminal, how do i get out of this?
[05:19] <Jouva> gaelfx: 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 partition
[05:19] <magnus> hello can I please get some help?
[05:19] <asdjaputra> !ask | magnus
[05:20] <magnus> I tryed :P
[05:20] <Jouva> kolix: It sounds like you hit a ' or ` or some other opening quote/parenthesis/whatever. Try just hitting ctrl-c
[05:20] <asdjaputra> magnus what is it?
[05:21] <dsnyders> ... maybe a gui version of Midnight Commander
[05:21] <kolix> lol that worked
[05:21] <kolix> thanks
[05:21] <kolix> ok, now how do i get a GUI on ubuntu server
[05:22] <asdjaputra> kolix, why would you?
[05:22] <Polah> kolix: For a production server, not recommended. Eats resources that would be better spent for apache or such like
[05:22] <magnus> I'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 user
[05:22] <kolix> i want to install this - http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-fingerprint/
[05:22] <calmpitbull> hello....how to change order of os in boot screen
[05:23] <kolix> plus i want to use the top commands to monitor bandwidth, i/o etc
[05:23] <dsnyders> magnus, you'd write your own username.
[05:23] <magnus> ok thanks
[05:23] <calmpitbull> and how to delete one of os in ubuntu
[05:23] <sublim21> how does install a tar.gz file?
[05:23] <asdjaputra> kolix, top works in terminal
[05:23] <sublim21> yes.  im reading about it online...
[05:23] <asdjaputra> sublim21, tar -zxvf <name>.tar.gz
[05:24] <asdjaputra> sublim21, ./configure; make; make install
[05:24] <Polah> sublim21, 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 archive
[05:24] <sublim21> asdjaputra: i tried that but nothing happens
[05:24] <sublim21> wait, didn't try that
[05:24] <kolix> Polah, can you give me the commands to install LAMP again?
[05:24] <Polah> kolix: 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 restart
[05:24] <Polah> The joys of the up arrow (:
[05:24] <asdjaputra> sudo tasksel
[05:24] <kolix> lol
[05:25] <asdjaputra> :)
[05:25] <sublim21> asdjaputra: what do you mean by ./configure yadda yadda
[05:25] <Polah> or tasksel for everything apart from openssh-server and tomcat
[05:25] <sublim21> ?
[05:25] <asdjaputra> sublim21, install
[05:25] <kolix> THANK YOU
[05:25] <sublim21> asdjaputra: so what voodoo magic do i type in the console to make it work?
[05:25] <kolix> now, how do i "select" an option in tasksel
[05:25] <asdjaputra> sublim21, ./configure; make; make install
[05:25] <asdjaputra> the joys of up arrow :)
[05:26] <Polah> kolix: run tasksel, arrow keys to move down the list, space to select and enter to confirm I imagine
[05:26] <asdjaputra> sublim21, wait you downloaded source right?
[05:26] <gaelfx> Jouva: so boot camp can't install an alternate OS from a USB? that's kinda lame
[05:26] <sublim21> yea
[05:26] <Jouva> lemme check that out
[05:26] <asdjaputra> sublim21, yes just do that
[05:26] <sublim21> im really confused
[05:27] <kolix> Polah: thanks. Before i had the options of LAMP, TOMCAT, and OpenSSH, these options arnt currently shown, BUT manual package selection is...would these options be under that?
[05:27] <asdjaputra> first "tar -zxvf <name>.tar.gz"
[05:27] <asdjaputra> then "./configure;make;make install"
[05:27] <Polah> kolix: hang on, I'll install tasksel and have a look
[05:27] <asdjaputra> make sure you cd-ed to that directory
[05:27] <kolix> thanks
[05:27] <asdjaputra> Polah, that's right
[05:28] <asdjaputra> space to select and enter to install
[05:28] <goingtomoonbrb> forgot the sudo make install :)
[05:28] <Polah> asdjaputra, thought so, that's the normal keys for lists like that
[05:28] <sublim21> neither are working
[05:28] <asdjaputra> there's a web server option in tasksel
[05:28] <sublim21> ./configure; make; make install generates an error
[05:28] <sublim21> while sudo -zx... generates nothing
[05:28] <kolix> not in mine
[05:28] <dsnyders> So... I have to manually tile windows then?
[05:28] <sublim21> it just returns the command prompt
[05:28] <ssargennto> anybody using a good yahoo messenger alternative beside gyache or pidgin?
[05:28] <asdjaputra> kolix, web server and Sql server
[05:28] <i-sharif> In have facing problem to calibrate  my touch screen
[05:29] <gaelfx> Jouva: or amybe you could try mounting the Ubuntu ISO and installing with boot camp from that?
[05:29] <kolix> dns, mail, samba
[05:29] <asdjaputra> sublim21, paste the output to pastebin
[05:29] <Polah> kolix: You'll want to select OpenSSH server, LAMP server and Tomcat Java server
[05:29] <sublim21> asdjaputra: k
[05:30] <sublim21> asdjaputra: http://pastebin.com/wrAn1iVX
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> ssargennto: empathy may do it, or kopete
[05:31] <sublim21> as you can see.  failure :(
[05:31] <sublim21> im trying to install hellanzb-0.9.tar.gz
[05:32] <kolix> Polah: are thos eoptions shown in your tasksel?
[05:32] <asdjaputra> sublim21, what's the name of the folder inside that tar.gz?
[05:32] <chavo> sublim21: you have to cd into the new folder
[05:32] <Polah> kolix: Yes, I just installed it and there's a fairly long list of them, requires some scrolling
[05:32] <kolix> oo..how do you scroll?
[05:32] <Polah> kolix: You could reinstall tasksel or just do it manually like I did
[05:33] <sublim21> asdjaputra: there's no folder.  just that file.  if i double click nothing opens up in the archive viewer
[05:33] <Polah> kolix: Keep pressing down/up on the arrow keys after you get to the bottom of the list
[05:33] <asdjaputra> sublim21, what file?
[05:33] <ssargennto> ActionParsnip, thanks just installed kopete, will give empathy a try also
[05:33] <glebihan> kolix, there's no need for tasksel
[05:33] <kolix> ok
[05:33] <sublim21> asdjaputra: hellanzb-0.9.tar.gz
[05:33] <glebihan> kolix, "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^" does the same
[05:33] <sublim21> im trying to follow this guide man http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169749
[05:33] <Polah> mhm, just install manually like I said before
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> !info hellanzb
[05:33] <need_suse> Hay guys it's me again, How to I put a OpenSUSE Image into a usb stick to install it later using ubuntu?
[05:34] <Polah> glebihan: 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 packages
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> sublim21: surely using the repos is better? Its a later version and is already packaged..
[05:34] <sublim21> natty is the distro im  running on
[05:34] <asdjaputra> sublim21, that's called version
[05:34] <sublim21> ActionParsnip: and in english for us 'newbies'
[05:34] <roothorick> okay, seriously
[05:34] <Polah> need_suse: Get the ISO, use unetbootin to install it onto the usb stick
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> sublim21: use apt-get or software centre etc
[05:34] <glebihan> Polah, I was just mentioning that apt-get handles tasks just as well as tasksel
[05:35] <sublim21> apt-get hellanzb?
[05:35] <roothorick> how 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 bugfix
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> need_suse: remember to MD5 test the ISO
[05:35] <asdjaputra> well sublim21 you got the right manual page
[05:35] <asdjaputra> tar -zxvf ungzip it.
[05:35] <Polah> glebihan: 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_suse> Polah, for the last time, Unetbooting isn't up to date!!! It doesn't have the latest versions of opensuse
[05:35] <kolix> hmm unmet dependencies
[05:36] <glebihan> Polah, that's right, and apt-get does the same when you use "^" at the end
[05:36] <sublim21> asdjaputra: that doesn't work
[05:36] <sublim21> on 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 updated
[05:36] <Polah> need_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 images
[05:36] <gaelfx> need_suse: you can use any .iso you've downloaded with unetbootin
[05:37] <asdjaputra> sublim21, sudo apt-get update
[05:38] <need_suse> I'm gonna try it again... Polah
[05:38] <Polah> roothorick: remove pulse or use pasuspender to launch the program and suspend pulse?
[05:38] <asdjaputra> sublim21, it should work
[05:38] <sublim21> asdjaputra: updating appeared to work
[05:38] <sublim21> but i still can't get the stupid program installed.  im sorry for not understanding
[05:38] <Polah> roothorick: pasuspender <command> will run that command with no access to pulse
[05:38] <sublim21> i don't know what else to do :/
[05:39] <Polah> sublim21: What are you trying to install? hellanzb?
[05:39] <asdjaputra> hellanzb is 404-ed
[05:39] <sublim21> Polah: jah
[05:39] <sublim21> 404-ed?
[05:39] <sublim21> im guessing that's bad
[05:39] <asdjaputra> sublim21, sudo apt-get install hellanzb
[05:39] <Polah> sublim21, did you sudo apt-get install hellanzb?
[05:39] <gaelfx> sublim21: file not found ;)
[05:39] <asdjaputra> html geeks
[05:39] <magnus> same problem i get on php4
[05:39] <sublim21> now its installing

[05:40] <Polah> Hmm, I found and got it from the repos
[05:40] <REK_007> which channel to join for help on dc++ ?
[05:40] <sublim21> i think it installed.  but don't know how to run
[05:40] <sublim21> ugh
[05:40] <asdjaputra> REK_007, what is dc++
[05:41] <Polah> sublim21: The command "hellanzb" perhaps?
[05:41] <asdjaputra> nzb
[05:41] <magnus> i write in terminal sudo apt-get install php4, but it would not install :S
[05:41] <REK_007> asdjaputra: its a program for sharing files
[05:41] <asdjaputra> REK_007, like p2p?
[05:41] <Polah> magnus: php4 is no longer available through the repos. It was replaced by php5
[05:41] <glebihan> magnus, php4 is outdated and not in the repos anymore
[05:42] <c_nick> how to kill git-daemon?
[05:42] <statim> anyone know if there is a boot option to install in *very* plain text mode… like not even the curses-based looking text mode
[05:42] <asdjaputra> killall git-daemon, perhaps?
[05:42] <magnus> ok tnx
[05:42] <Jimmio> If anyone comes up with anything for this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11200967#post11200967 Leave a post and I'll check tomorrow. Night all. This laptop will be the death of me.
[05:42] <Jouva> gaelfx: Boot Camp is specifically for the optical drive
[05:43] <Jouva> gaelfx: So no go w/ the USB flash or a mounted image
[05:43] <REK_007> asdjaputra: not exactly .. well i dont know yet .. but read that i can be inplemented on LAN with diffrent subnet hence need help in setting it up
[05:43] <asdjaputra> Jimmio, buy a CD-ROM reader
[05:43] <asdjaputra> REK_007, :?
[05:43] <gaelfx> Jouva: figures. like you said, Apple wants their hardware to work for them, not for you
[05:44] <Jouva> Pretty much
[05:44] <gaelfx> (lightly paraphrased)
[05:44] <I\O_Error> some one has installed a very very low resources consumer, ubuntu based distro?. Meant for old computers.
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> statim: you can use the minimal ISO, it will instal a very bare bones OS you can build up from, it that's what you mean..
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> I\O_Error: lubuntu :)
[05:44] <REK_007> asdjaputra: well we have a LAN with peers under many subnet so direct sharing is not an option and we are looking for a cross platform shraing software
[05:45] <asdjaputra> I\O_Error, xubuntu works as well
[05:45] <asdjaputra> REK_007, oh..
[05:45] <baker> i/0 error i think is a bad hard drive
[05:45] <decio_> Polah, It says that it can't find the kernel image
[05:45]  * asdjaputra thinks I\O_Error is caused by Bad Sector at Hard Drive.
[05:46] <statim> ActionParsnip:  yea im using that.  i mean the install mode… like to get just a terminal looking debug output instead of the blue/gray looking text mode
[05:46] <I\O_Error> lol
[05:46] <c_nick> how to get the list of running processes ?
[05:46]  * asdjaputra haz kernel panic.
[05:46] <glebihan> c_nick, ps -ef
[05:46] <asdjaputra> sublim21, how's it going?
[05:46] <baker> i know what the i/0 is but i had error with a bad secctor a while back on a free hard drive cant remember the error when trying to install ubuntu
[05:47] <gaelfx> asdjaputra: SMART status to the rescue!
[05:47] <I\O_Error> installed base system, then xorg, fluxbox, but fluxbox consumes a lot of procesor.
[05:47] <magnus> how do I save on nano mode in terminal?
[05:47] <REK_007> magnus: ctrl+x
[05:47] <decio_> c_nick, go to the terminal and put "top", then press enter
[05:47] <jamiewan> c_nick: top or htop in terminal
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> I\O_Error: really, fluxbox is quite light
[05:47] <magnus> snx :P
[05:47] <asdjaputra> XD
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> I\O_Error: infact, very
[05:47] <asdjaputra> ActionParsnip, no no no it's very light
[05:47] <sublim21> asdjaputra: im working on it.  the tutorial has me editing some config files.  im currently hitting an error, hopefully works after performing these tweaks.  will keep you updated man
[05:47] <asdjaputra> seconded :(
[05:48] <c_nick> glebihan, thanks .. decio_ jamiewan top did not work .. but ps -ef did
[05:48] <asdjaputra> magnus, Ctrl+O
[05:48] <jamiewan> ?
[05:48] <asdjaputra> REK_007, Ctrl+X quits nano..
[05:48] <REK_007> asdjaputra: its asks to save too :/
[05:48] <magnus> but I cant save :S
[05:48] <eduard> qqmore
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> I\O_Error: could go with flwm, its even lighter
[05:48] <asdjaputra> magnus, check read/write permissions
[05:49] <magnus> ok
[05:49] <asdjaputra> I\O_Error, twm
[05:49] <asdjaputra> I\O_Error, or worse..fvwm95 XD
[05:50] <I\O_Error> ActionParsnip, asdjaputra. Will check. I hope configuration is not hard
[05:50] <asdjaputra> I\O_Error, fluxbox? yeah that's quite hard..
[05:50] <decio_> can anyone help me? I want t put a OpenSUSE image on a usb to run it from the usb. I did try Unetbootin ad millions of others. Does anyone knows how to help me?
[05:51] <asdjaputra> if you want an easier one, that'll make up large configuration files, thus making it big
[05:51] <ylmf> hello
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> i though fluxbox was quite easy, hard to grasp but one you're in, its groovy
[05:51] <asdjaputra> decio_, unetbootin? why it won't work
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> hi ylmf
[05:51] <asdjaputra> ..?
[05:51] <asdjaputra> hello; ylmf has quit
[05:51] <asdjaputra> xD
[05:51] <decio_> asdjaputra, it says that it couldn't find the kernel image, twice
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> decio_: is the usb stick healthy?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> decio_: is the image you downloaded healthy?
[05:52] <asdjaputra> decio_, check integrity
[05:52] <decio_> yes, I installed ubuntu from it
[05:52] <asdjaputra> ActionParsnip, no, it's been sick with Bieber Fever :D
[05:52] <asdjaputra> decio_, md5sum -c <md5sum>.txt
[05:52] <gaelfx> which toolkit does fluxbox use?
[05:53] <asdjaputra> gaelfx, GTK+, if i'm not mistaken
[05:53] <magnus> do you know were /etc/mysql is? :P
[05:53] <gaelfx> and is there a version of ubuntu available that allows you try it out by default (like kubuntu for kde) or do you have to install it yourself?
[05:53] <asdjaputra> gaelfx, live version?
[05:53] <gaelfx> asdjaputra: precisely, is there?
[05:54] <asdjaputra> gaelfx, yes
[05:54] <decio_> I have Ubuntu 11.04 and Xubuntu 11.04
[05:54] <asdjaputra> even for normal ubuntu
[05:54]  * gaelfx 's brain isn't so great today
[05:54] <asdjaputra> decio_, find md5sum of these images
[05:54] <computer_> i have a laptop looking desktop, how do i change to look like a desktop look?
[05:54] <asdjaputra> decio_, and then place it at the same folder of the ISOs, and do md5sum -c md5sum
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> computer_: log off and log in to Ubuntu Classic
[05:55] <asdjaputra> computer_, what? you mean unity?
[05:55] <decio_> asdjaputra, can you explain more precisely?
[05:55] <computer_> ok how do i login as classic?
[05:55] <hetecro> Ok. . . I was trying to change the filesystem on one of my partitions and now my bootcamp doesnt work
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> computer_: Unity-2D will replace Ubuntu Classic in Oneiric and onwards. It is not a "laptop interface"
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> computer_: select the session at the bottom of the screen on the login screen
[05:56] <amh345> how to i decrypt a gpg file with a specific key?   gpg --output some_file.txt --decrypt some_file.txt.gpg is telling me secret key not available
[05:56] <asdjaputra> decio_, when you download an iso you can also find the MD5SUM.txt inside that same directory
[05:56] <computer_> thnx
[05:56] <hetecro> It boots into OSX just fine, but I cant boot into any other partitions
[05:56] <hetecro> X.x
[05:56] <asdjaputra> decio_, download that too, and then place it at the same directory as your ISOs are in
[05:56] <gaelfx> asdjaputra: which .iso has fluxbox by default?
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: fluxbuntu used to but its dead
[05:56] <asdjaputra> gaelfx, find it out, many distro uses fluxbox by default (fluxbuntu)
[05:57] <asdjaputra> ActionParsnip, no they said they're working on something
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: could install minimal then install slim and fluxbox
[05:57] <asdjaputra> http://www.fluxbuntu.org/ Still alive and strong :)
[05:57] <magnus> do anybody know were I find /etc/mysql?
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> asdjaputra: ahh, thought it was gone. I used to use fluxbuntu
[05:58] <asdjaputra> decio_, and then fire a terminal and cd to that directory and say md5sum -c <md5sum name>
[05:58] <glebihan> asdjaputra, alive and strong ? ----> Fluxbuntu 9.04 Experimental
[05:58] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: I was hoping for a live version so I could try it out first :P
[05:58] <magnus> forget it xD I found it xD
[05:58] <razer> can someone help me with my question???
[05:58] <asdjaputra> glebihan, they're trying to catch up, apperently :-P
[05:58] <asdjaputra> !ask | razer
[05:59] <Hot2Trot_> does anyone know a quick program that can stitch together .avi's or even other forms of movie files
[05:59] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: curiosity has always been a thing for me, what's slim?
[05:59] <decio_> asdjaputra, I don't know what is md5sum, it didn't come with anything like that. I just downloaded the live kde image
[05:59] <asdjaputra> Hot2Trot, openshot
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: could try a virtual system
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: its a login manager / DM thing, like GDM
[05:59] <Hot2Trot_> asdjaputra: thank you, i shall give it a try
[05:59] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: ah, now THERE'S an idea :D
[05:59] <glebihan> asdjaputra, last release was in 07' so not sure they're trying to catch up...
[05:59] <asdjaputra> decio_, md5sum is something to check the integrity (health) of your ISO, you can find one at it's official website (ubuntu?)
[05:59] <asdjaputra> glebihan, idk either, but it's still there
[06:00] <JoeR1> razer, What is your question?
[06:00] <asdjaputra> Hot2Trot, your welcome
[06:00] <decio_> can you give me the link? asdjaputra?
[06:00] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: can I customize it so that the login screen's background is tank man?
[06:00] <asdjaputra> decio_, what distro are you downloading?
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: i guess so, never done it myself
[06:00] <decio_> OpenSUSE Live KDE
[06:00] <gaelfx> suhweet, I've got a new fun project :D
[06:00] <JoeR1> gaelfx, Easily, one moment and I will get the link
[06:01] <magnus> I need help again :P why cant I edit the permission my mysql folder?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: its on the screen all of 3 seconds, so I don't expend any effort into it
[06:01] <asdjaputra> ActionParsnip, is xdm lightweight/
[06:01] <asdjaputra> ?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> asdjaputra: yes
[06:01] <decio_> asdjaputra, OpenSUSE Live KDE
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> asdjaputra: I use lxdm on my lappy
[06:01] <asdjaputra> decio_, if you go to opensuse website
[06:01] <asdjaputra> ActionParsnip, xdm, not lxdm
[06:02] <asdjaputra> ActionParsnip, wait, are those the same?
[06:02] <razer> OK... Soo I want to install Ubuntu side by side with my Windows OS. I have the 11.04 Live CD and I know how to install using the CD. Thing is... I already have 2 OS in dual boot. One is Windows XP and the other Windows 7. If I install Ubuntu as a side by side install will I be able to access all the existing OS I have via grub?
[06:02] <decio_> asdjaputra, yes...
[06:02] <REK_007> razer: yes
[06:02] <asdjaputra> decio_, and then check the FTP/HTTP download site
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> asdjaputra: just alternatives
[06:03] <magnus> I need help again :P why cant I edit the permission my mysql folder?
[06:03] <asdjaputra> decio_, you should get an MD5SUM.txt or just plain MD5SUM
[06:03] <glebihan> magnus, why do you want to do that ?
[06:03] <gaelfx> !info slim
[06:03] <decio_> http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/iso/openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64.iso.md5, asdjaputra
[06:04] <asdjaputra> decio_, yes that's it
[06:04] <gaelfx> weird, latest version is more than a year old, but still not in repos?
[06:04] <unguest> how many of you are overweight and living in your mother's basemend?
[06:04] <decio_> what do I do asdjaputra?
[06:04] <asdjaputra> decio_, just download that to the same folder as your ISOs
[06:04] <gaelfx> unguest: define overweight
[06:04] <magnus> cuz the guide tells me to write "mysql -u root -p" in terminal but i got no permission to do that
[06:04] <asdjaputra> decio_, and do this (without quotes) `md5sum -c openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64.iso.md5'
[06:04] <decio_> @asdjaputra, yes
[06:05] <asdjaputra> magnus, sudo?
[06:05] <decio_> asdjaputra, where do I do that?
[06:05] <asdjaputra> let it run, and if it's right it'll output "openSuse-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64.iso OK"
[06:05] <magnus> tnx :P
[06:05] <asdjaputra> decio_, terminal
[06:05] <glebihan> magnus, what guide ? what are you trying to do ?
[06:05] <magnus> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[06:06] <asdjaputra> glebihan, my guess is install MySql
[06:06] <magnus> edit password on mysql thing :P
[06:06] <JoeR1> gaelfx, I am having a hard time doing anything right now because all the cores of my PC are maxed out so maybe you could look in the community documentation?
[06:06] <magnus> still no permission :S
[06:06] <decio_> asdjaputra, it appears another line with this ">" and nothing changed
[06:07] <asdjaputra> decio_, without quotes, now Ctrl+C
[06:07] <gaelfx> JoeR1: hey, no worries, it's not a big deal
[06:07] <JoeR1> gaelfx, It can be doen, I have done it but my pc is going slow
[06:07] <magnus> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[06:07] <glebihan> magnus, the correct command would be "mysql -u root -p password", password being the one you set as mysql root password (not your user's password)
[06:07] <magnus> ok :)
[06:08] <magnus> tnx
[06:08] <decio_> md5sum: openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64.iso.md5: No such file or directory
[06:08] <decio_> , it says this asdjaputra
[06:08] <magnus> still no access
[06:08] <bazhang> decio_, is this related to ubuntu in some way?
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> decio_: you need to change directory to the one the file is stored in
[06:09] <glebihan> magnus, what error do you get this time ?
[06:09] <JoeR1> gaelfx, Ubuntu Tweak
[06:09] <magnus> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[06:09] <JoeR1> gaelfx, I think I used Ubuntu Tweak to do it
[06:09] <decio_> I'm new to all this stuff. The file is on the download section
[06:09] <asdjaputra> decio_, and the ISO?
[06:09] <glebihan> magnus, sorry I mistyped, there's no space between the "-p" and the password
[06:09] <decio_> asdjaputra, the file too
[06:10] <magnus> ok
[06:10] <asdjaputra> decio_, so ISO and MD5SUM must be in the same folder, and then do that command again
[06:10] <roothorick> glebihan: mysql should prompt for a password if none is given...
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> unguest: ive not lived at home for 6 years now, 10 stone and 6' tall, not overweight at all
[06:11] <magnus> Sudo thank mr glebihan xD
[06:11] <roothorick> magnus, glebihan: Yeah, I just tried it on my server. "mysql -u root -p" produces a password prompt, which is probably a bit safer
[06:11] <glebihan> roothorick, right, but when you use "-p" without value it considers you're giving an empty password (
[06:11] <decio_> md5: No such file or directory
[06:11] <decio_> No command 'md5sum:' found, did you mean:
[06:11] <decio_>  Command 'md5sum' from package 'coreutils' (main)
[06:11] <decio_> md5sum:: command not found
[06:11] <decio_> , asdjaputra, can you be more specific?
[06:11] <FloodBot1> decio_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:11] <unguest> ActionParsnipwhy Ubuntu though?
[06:11] <unguest> fit people use Windows 7.
[06:12] <asdjaputra> decio_, `md5sum -c openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64.iso.md5'
[06:12] <roothorick> glebihan: that's not what my mysql is doing. "-p" with no value means "prompt for password"
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> unguest: it works on all my hardware, I dont have a PC strong enough to run Windows 7
[06:12] <asdjaputra> without quotes
[06:12] <glebihan> roothorick, it may depend on some configuration on the server then, I don't get the prompt here
[06:12] <asdjaputra> and it has to be in the same folder as the ISO is
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> unguest: I dont need to pay for an OS as Ubuntu does all I need
[06:12] <unguest> ActionParsnip at least you're broke. that's alright.
[06:12] <asdjaputra> bazhang, it's an openSuse question, but only regarding MD5 checking
[06:13] <bazhang> asdjaputra, decio_ #suse please
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> unguest: I'm currently at work, not broke at all, just don't need to spend cash on something I don't need
[06:13] <bazhang> unguest, thats enough
[06:13] <decio_> asdjaputra, it keeps saying the same
[06:13] <glebihan> roothorick, but you're right, that's the expected behavior, there's something weird there
[06:13] <asdjaputra> decio_, let's take it to #suse
[06:13] <CiscoGeek> does anyone know what dual monitor mode allows you to select the second monitor as primary?
[06:13] <calmpitbull> need help im in grub rescue
[06:13] <unguest> bazhang i'd say that's plenty enough.
[06:13] <CiscoGeek> twin view?
[06:14] <bazhang> unguest, please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:14] <unguest> oh, there's one
[06:14] <roothorick> okay so, serious question, what is PulseAudio supposed to do for Ubuntu that ALSA can't?
[06:14] <unguest> will surely do, thank you kind stranger
[06:14] <roothorick> I'd wager, the whole list, is stuff I couldn't get Pulse to do
[06:15] <calmpitbull> I need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> roothorick: go crazy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_audio
[06:15] <calmpitbull> I need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what
[06:16] <roothorick> ActionParsnip: I'm more interested specifically in why Ubuntu has gone to using Pulse by default
[06:16] <hetecro> What is the closest distro to MacOSX? Im getting frustrated with having to google everytime I install something not in the repo
[06:17] <calmpitbull> I need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:17] <Thelmaria> hetecro: 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] <ActionParsnip> calmpitbull: have some patience child
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> jeses
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> roothorick: not sure, never had an issue with it
[06:18] <asdjaputra> geezus -rwj
[06:18] <roothorick> hetecro: 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] <hetecro> That was somewhat of a joke, but what is the most user friendly environment
[06:18] <calmpitbull> ActionParsnip:  lost my calm today
[06:19] <sublim21> asdjaputra: alright.  i think i installed it right
[06:19] <asdjaputra> sublim21, can you configure it?
[06:19] <sublim21> but 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] <sublim21> Couldn't listen on 127.0.0.1:8760: [Errno 98] Address already in use.
[06:19] <sublim21> Exiting: FatalError'>: Cannot bind to XML RPC port, is another hellanzb queue daemon already running?
[06:20] <sublim21> but yes.  i did configure it to the best of my knowledge
[06:20] <roothorick> hetecro: I've been _VERY_ impressed with the Unity setup in Natty. Give it a whirl.
[06:20] <sublim21> how can i know if an instance of hellanzb is running?
[06:20] <asdjaputra> killall <tab><tab>
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> sublim21: ps -ef | grep hell
[06:20] <roothorick> hetecro: if you're at all a power user though, you'll want to tweak it a little with CCSM
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: thats dependant on the user
[06:22] <asdjaputra> ActionParsnip, lol grep hell
[06:23] <hetecro> See, I like the Android OS, but it's too dumbed down to be a real distro for pcs
[06:23] <hetecro> But it is the easiest I've ever used
[06:23] <kolix> hey guys
[06:23] <kolix> I want to get usplash and a GUI on my desktop
[06:23] <thecpaptain_> yo kolix
[06:23] <kolix> ..err.. i mean on ubuntu server
[06:23] <hetecro> I've always used Ubuntu because it's what I used first
[06:23] <roothorick> kolix: why?
[06:24] <kolix> i want to montior stats using a variety of top commands
[06:24] <roothorick> hetecro: 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 too
[06:24] <kolix> like have 4 terminals going at the same time
[06:24] <asdjaputra> kolix, screen
[06:25] <roothorick> kolix: never tried it myself, but play with tmux
[06:25] <hetecro> Hmm. 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] <roothorick> hetecro: 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 issue
[06:25] <razer> I 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 t
[06:26] <roothorick> hetecro: as for customizable, it doesn't have as many knobs and buttons as, say, GNOME, but I at least didn't miss them
[06:26] <kolix> apt-get tmux?
[06:26] <hetecro> thecpaptain_: Try changing your router to WEP temporarily and see if it picks it up
[06:27] <roothorick> razer: sounds like a firmware issue. You may not be able to dual-boot and keep wireless on that laptop.
[06:27] <JoeR1> SO, 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 again
[06:27] <roothorick> JoeR1: rejected how?
[06:28] <asdjaputra> JoeR1, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[06:28] <hetecro> Im assuming he means they just didn't work
[06:28] <JoeR1> roothorick: failed to load
[06:28] <roothorick> JoeR1: that's still not useful... what does dmesg say?
[06:29] <JoeR1> asdjaputra: blacklist didn't work last time because, for some reason, my system doesn't bring up the nouveau (spelling?) drivers
[06:29] <kolix> roothorick, i don't have X or anything installed
[06:29] <asdjaputra> kolix apt-get install screen, or if you want a better one use byobu (included by default)
[06:29] <kolix> can i still use tmux?
[06:29] <JoeR1> roothorick: one  moment
[06:29] <kolix> asdjaputra, what does screen do?
[06:30] <roothorick> kolix: as I said, I have never used it myself
[06:30] <asdjaputra> kolix, it's a multiple terminal manager
[06:30] <hetecro> roothorick: You mean Natty Narwhal?
[06:30] <kolix> can i make it look cool, like with diffrent colors and stuff
[06:30] <kolix> ?
[06:30] <asdjaputra> kolix, byobu is better in the GUI side, it's a modified version of screen
[06:30] <asdjaputra> kolix, you can always edit ~/.bashrc to get colors
[06:31] <sublim21> i'll natty your face
[06:31] <roothorick> hetecro: yeah, 11.04
[06:31] <asdjaputra> kolix, see, the thing is that memory in servers are put to much better use for apache, mysql, php, and so on, rather than running GUI
[06:31] <linuxrealm> l8
[06:31] <asdjaputra> sublim21, wrong, it's i'll maverick your face :)
[06:31] <kolix> asdjaputra, but you should see my setup
[06:31] <asdjaputra> kolix, you're running a server, no?
[06:31] <roothorick> kolix: 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 tasks
[06:31] <kolix> my server monitor is a 32' plasma running through an RCA jack
[06:32]  * GNUdog is away: Away From Keyboard
[06:32] <kolix> girls will see this
[06:32] <c_nick> nicolus 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 restart
[06:32] <asdjaputra> roothorick, via ssh?
[06:32] <kolix> i want it to look cool
[06:32] <roothorick> asdjaputra: whatever gets it there securely
[06:32] <asdjaputra> !away | GNUdog
[06:32] <asdjaputra> roothorick, cool, never thought of doing that, because the server is a foot away, i don't need ssh :)
[06:33] <gaelfx> kolix: why did you choose the server version then?
[06:33] <thecpaptain> got dc
[06:33] <roothorick> asdjaputra: my server's a foot away from me and I still shell into it
[06:33] <kolix> asdjaputra: is byobu installed automatically
[06:33] <kolix> or do i just apt-get?
[06:33] <asdjaputra> roothorick, :D
[06:33] <roothorick> kolix: are we actually talking about a server here?
[06:33] <asdjaputra> kolix, run it to figure it
[06:33] <thecpaptain> as i said, its my landlords router, so i don't have access to it atm
[06:33] <asdjaputra> roothorick, no, he's installing desktop on a server :)
[06:33]  * gaelfx facepalms
[06:34] <roothorick> kolix: does this computer actually provide services to other computers in any way, shape or form?
[06:35] <JoeR1> roothorick: API mismatch: The client has version 280.13 but the kernel module has version 270.41.06
[06:35] <hetecro> I have 2 quad-core intel Xeon 64bit processors, do I need the Amd64 image or the intel image.
[06:35] <hetecro> The documentation. Is. Unclear
[06:35] <roothorick> JoeR1: does "sudo rmmod && sudo modprobe nvidia" fix it?
[06:35] <roothorick> er
[06:35] <roothorick> JoeR1: does "sudo rmmod nvidia && sudo modprobe nvidia" fix it?
[06:35] <JoeR1> roothorick: I shall see, one moment
[06:36] <kolix> byobu is awesome
[06:36] <thecpaptain> does anyone have an idea what i can do? and do you remember my situation ? hehe
[06:36] <hetecro> Anyone know the answer to my question?
[06:36] <asdjaputra> kolix, the same sentence i said when first trying it
[06:37] <asdjaputra> hetecro, amd64
[06:37] <roothorick> hetecro: either will work, but you should use amd64
[06:37] <hetecro> thecpaptain: Did you not get my suggestion?
[06:37] <asdjaputra> hetecro, it's not that 64-bits are exclusive to amd, it's that amd first apply 64-bit, so it's called amd64
[06:37] <hetecro> Strange considering the current market, but thank you
[06:38] <hetecro> Does natty support dual processing?
[06:38] <sublim21> i got a dual processor on my little netbook
[06:38] <roothorick> hetecro: AMD actually invented the current 64bit instruction set, which Intel sort-of-coopted as EM64T. Linux calling it amd64 is something of a tradition
[06:38] <hetecro> Or even quad cores?
[06:38] <sublim21> natty works alright
[06:38] <roothorick> hetecro: Natty supports SMP just fine, I'm running it on a Phenom II X4 right now
[06:38] <sublim21> currently not being able to view flash on firefox.  don't know why
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: first to desktop 64bit. The name just stuck. It's likd IDE drives being called as they are. It just stuck
[06:39] <kolix> asdjaputra, can byobu split the screen into 4 terminals?
[06:39] <JoeR1> roothorick: 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] <hetecro> So, two quadcore xeons will get the full treatment?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> !flash| sublim21
[06:39] <asdjaputra> kolix, like terminator does? no it'll need X functionality
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> hetecro: easily.
[06:39] <roothorick> ActionParsnip: 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 name
[06:39] <thecpaptain> could you repeat the suggestion hetecro ?
[06:40] <c_nick> ps -ef which column is the process id 2nd or 3rd
[06:40] <thecpaptain> and also tell me how to "whisper" to you :)
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> roothorick: gotcha
[06:40] <thecpaptain> or you know, make you see that its you i'm talking to, even though its still public
[06:40] <roothorick> hetecro: well, your programs will have full access to them. Whether they get fully utilized is up to you ;)
[06:40] <hetecro> thecpaptain: Just temporarily change the wifi security to WEP and see if it connects
[06:41] <hetecro> If it does, it's a security issue.
[06:41] <thecpaptain> ah yes, only thing is i don't have access to the router since it belongs to my landlord
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> roothorick: forgot about that. Rambus was soo pricey
[06:41] <asdjaputra> thecpaptain, use BackTrack to hack it :)
[06:41] <hetecro> Ah! Is it wpa2?
[06:41] <thecpaptain> yes its wpa2
[06:42] <JoeR1> roothorick: So yes or no to my grub question?
[06:42] <calmpitbull> I need help, im in grub rescue> ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub now what
[06:42] <hetecro> It might be a kernel issue I had once connecting to AES vs TKIP
[06:42] <thecpaptain> how do i make it so that i make your names red in the beginning ? :D
[06:42] <thecpaptain> using backtrack sounds cool
[06:42] <thecpaptain> i'll get it from ubuntu software center ?
[06:42] <thecpaptain> hm
[06:42] <asdjaputra> JoeR1, why does grub always show boot option?
[06:42] <roothorick> JoeR1: you can edit grub.conf, as long as there's two options and a non-zero timeout you should get a prompt
[06:42] <asdjaputra> JoeR1, well what's wrong with that?
[06:43] <JoeR1> asdjaputra: It doesn't and I would like it to
[06:43] <G00053> has fglrx hit 11.9 yet ?
[06:43] <thecpaptain> hm so is there a way to fix it ?
[06:43] <roothorick> G00053: it's not even September yet! Have patience.
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> thecpaptain: its a seperate disto (ubuntu based) but will run from livecd
[06:43] <JoeR1> I shall try that, assuming I can find grub.conf, and return shortly
[06:43] <asdjaputra> /etc/grub/menu.lst --> 1.99
[06:43] <hetecro> Yeah, thecpaptain, but it will be hard to diagnose
[06:44] <asdjaputra> woops thats /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:44] <JoeR1> wait, I need a command line document editor
[06:44] <asdjaputra> JoeR1, nano
[06:44] <JoeR1> thanks
[06:44] <thecpaptain> hm... so what's the easiest solution do you think ?
[06:44] <G00053> roothorick: I heard there was a fix coming for the issues in gnome/unity - shell
[06:44] <thecpaptain> should i ask my landlord if its possible to change the encryption ?
[06:44] <asdjaputra> /boot/grub/grub.cfg --> 2
[06:45] <hetecro> Best 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 ubuntu
[06:45] <roothorick> G00053: 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 have
[06:45] <thecpaptain> ActionParsnip didn't understand what you said really xD
[06:45] <roothorick> G00053: b) they do monthly releases. (20)11.8 (August). 11.9 won't be out until sometime in September.
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> thecpaptain: usb wifi known to connect to wpa2 in ubuntu ;-)
[06:45] <G00053> roothorick: fair enough
[06:45] <rsvp> what happens if enable-shm=no in the conf file for PULSEAUDIO ?? Does the hard drive go to work instead of RAM?
[06:45] <thecpaptain> hmm aight
[06:46] <JoeR1> Where is grub.conf?
[06:46] <hetecro> thecpaptain: Log into windows, run CMD, the. Type ipconfig -all after connecting to the network
[06:46] <thecpaptain> aight, then ?
[06:46] <hetecro> Use that information to create your configuration for ubuntu
[06:46] <kolix> asdjaputra, you still around?
[06:46] <thecpaptain> hmmm, all right
[06:46] <asdjaputra> JoeR1, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[06:46] <hetecro> Instead of using dhcp
[06:46] <asdjaputra> kolix, yes
[06:46] <JoeR1> thanks
[06:47] <thecpaptain> but i might need some help with the configuration depending on the level of complexity
[06:47] <kolix> asdjaputra, you said i need X to split the screen into 4 terminals
[06:47] <thecpaptain> but i'll do that and return
[06:47] <kolix> 4 terminals going at the same time ont he same screen
[06:47] <roothorick> JoeR1: apparently you're supposed to be editing /etc/grub.d and /etc/default/grub instead...
[06:47] <asdjaputra> kolix, CMIIW, yes
[06:48] <thecpaptain> so should i go into windows, run cmd, acquire that information and then return to ubuntu ?
[06:48] <hetecro> Kk. Remember that google has plenty of docs on the subject of creating custom kexts and such for these configurations
[06:48] <hetecro> Yes
[06:48] <kolix> CMIIW>
[06:48] <kolix> ???
[06:48] <thecpaptain> aight
[06:48] <thecpaptain> i'll be back in a min then :)
[06:48] <thecpaptain> thanks up till now
[06:48] <asdjaputra> correct me if im wrong
[06:49] <kolix> so with X i can change the terminal colors and stuff?
[06:50] <kolix> and just type a command to pane the terminals?
[06:50] <asdjaputra> kolix, changing colors could be done by editing ~/.bashrc
[06:50] <asdjaputra> kolix, but memorizing the color codes is hard
[06:51] <kolix> how do i get X using apt-get?
[06:51] <kjeoiewd> hewllo
[06:51] <kolix> i'm extremely new to linux
[06:51] <asdjaputra> kolix, yes
[06:51] <asdjaputra> kolix, if you want a desktop why download a server
[06:52] <BILLYKANE1> apt-get install x-window-system-core
[06:52] <asdjaputra> kolix, fancy colored prompts is not the server style :D
[06:53] <sublim21> hellanzb
[06:53] <sublim21> y u no work?
[06:53] <asdjaputra> :)
[06:53] <kjeoiewd> no
[06:54] <kolix> thanks
[06:54] <kolix> it's installing :)
[06:54] <natalie> evening all
[06:54] <kolix> no, do i need some type of terminal manager to split the screen to 4 terminals
[06:55] <BILLYKANE1> kolix，try dvtm
[06:55] <kolix> BILLYKANE1, I just installed X
[06:56] <kolix> does X come with a terminal manager?
[06:56] <asdjaputra> kolix, you have to install it
[06:56] <natalie> my PC died (slow long beeps) and i have a laptop from '95 that i have lubuntu on. works great so far, but, i have my 1920x1080 screen connected to it. getting a little flicker, but seems ok. problem is i can only 'mirror' the screens. what would be the best utility to add to lubuntu to get more dual screen features???
[06:56] <kolix> ok X is finished installing, how do i run this thing?
[06:57] <thecpaptain> so this is what i got
[06:57] <thecpaptain> http://paste.ubuntu.com/677737/
[06:57] <sublim21> asdjaputra: what was that website i sent you earlier?
[06:58] <sublim21> im too fucked up to even browse these logs on this new fangled operating system
[06:58] <asdjaputra> !language
[06:58] <BILLYKANE1> dvtm can work without X，no maybe you can install dwm or some other window manager
[06:58] <asdjaputra> sublim21, hellaznb is on 404 (not found)
[06:59] <JoeR1> Well that did not work
[06:59] <thecpaptain> i got the ipconfig from the cmd, what am i to do with the information ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/677737/
[06:59] <natalie> or even set my 1920x1080 monitor as default
[06:59] <natalie> ???
[06:59] <JoeR1> what is the command to show the kernel version I am using?
[06:59] <thecpaptain> or rather, what information can i use ?
[07:00] <BILLYKANE1>  JoeR1，uname -a
[07:00] <JoeR1> right, remembered just before you said that
[07:00] <JoeR1> but thanks
[07:00] <BILLYKANE1> :)
[07:01] <JoeR1> also I am pleased to report that i did edit my grub.cfg correctly so at least I am booting the right kernel
[07:01] <kolix> BILLYKANE1, dvtm is nice
[07:01] <kolix> how do i uninstall X?
[07:01] <asdjaputra> kolix, why?
[07:02] <JoeR1> I need to rollback or get rid of the Nvidia drivers I currently have
[07:02] <asdjaputra> !dvtm
[07:02] <kolix> asdjaputra, i don't need both
[07:02] <asdjaputra> both dvtm and X?
[07:02] <asdjaputra> isn't dvtm window manager that runs on X
[07:03] <BILLYKANE1> apt-get uninstall x-window-system-core
[07:03] <BILLYKANE1> hehe
[07:03] <BILLYKANE1> dvtm,twin and vwm,that is it
[07:04] <natalie> kolix, open the software centre and simply deselect the driver. DO NOT uninstall X
[07:04] <JoeR1> So, any advice on how to fix the driver issue I am having?
[07:04] <kolix> natalie, i don't have a GUI installed
[07:04] <kolix> I'm running ubuntu server
[07:05] <kolix> BILLYKANE1: sudo apt-get dvtm?
[07:05] <natalie> ummm... ok, sorry mate, not sure why you would then add a proprietry graphics driver. can offer no more help
[07:05] <klawd> hi! how can i run a script after hibernate?
[07:05] <BILLYKANE1> yes
[07:06] <thecpaptain> i've done what you told me to do, now what do i do with the information i've acquired ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/677737/
[07:06] <kolix> invalid operation: dvtm
[07:06] <hplpb> kolix: you need 'install' somewhere in there
[07:07] <BILLYKANE1> apt-get install dvtm
[07:07] <craz> i have 15days until i go back to school, what can i do/learn in 15days? lol
[07:08] <JoeR1> craz: welding
[07:08] <asdjaputra> me 7
[07:08] <asdjaputra> craz, hack WPA/WPA2
[07:09] <BILLYKANE1> the keyshortcut of dvtm is some kind hard.hope you can manager it.8-)
[07:09] <kolix> http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/screenshot1.png - cool
[07:09] <JoeR1> So, I need some help getting rid of Nvidia drivers and the guy that was helping me has left
[07:09] <kolix> lol
[07:09] <kolix> i was just looking for a tutorial
[07:09] <sublim21> asdjaputra: alright.  im going to quit trying hellanzb and am going to try something else.  how can i uninstal programs?
[07:09] <asdjaputra> sudo apt-get purge
[07:09] <BILLYKANE1> :)
[07:10] <thecpaptain> hehe, and i'm trying to connect to a wireless network with a WPA2 encrypt :)
[07:10] <kolix> billy, is top the best for statisitc monitoring?
[07:10] <kolix> like htop, iftop, etc
[07:10] <kolix> ?
[07:11] <Secris> ubuntu doesn't recognize my screen resolution
[07:11] <JoeR1> does irssi keep multiple channel open?
[07:11] <BILLYKANE1> kolix,I think htop is much better
[07:11] <gaelfx> JoeR1: use joeck-text -d [driver], that will disable it
[07:11] <gaelfx> JoeR1: jockey-text, sorry
[07:12] <BILLYKANE1> however ,in many case ,I still need to run kill -9 manually
[07:12] <JoeR1> gaelfx: Do I need only the version number or an ID that I would need to query a terminal to find?
[07:12] <iceroot> BILLYKANE1: kill -9 is always a bad idea
[07:12] <Thelmaria> JoeR1: Yes, Irssi will keep mutliple channels open. Irssi + screen is amazing.
[07:13] <JoeR1> Thelmaria: How do I switch between them?
[07:13] <gaelfx> JoeR1: jockey-text -l should list the drivers enabled, use the name that that tells you
[07:13] <BILLYKANE1> iceroot,you are right
[07:13] <Thelmaria> JoeR1: Alt + <n> where <n> is a number.
[07:13] <JoeR1> gaelfx: Thank you, I will
[07:13] <JoeR1> Thelmaria: Thanks
[07:14] <iceroot> BILLYKANE1: http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#uuk9letter
[07:14] <gaelfx> JoeR1: 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 again
[07:14] <Thelmaria> JoeR1: 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] <Thelmaria> JoeR1: No numbers = no new stuff.
[07:15] <norbert79> Good 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] <BILLYKANE1> iceroot,mostly ,I use -9 to kill opera."shut down socket connections,that is it"
[07:15] <iceroot> BILLYKANE1: read the text
[07:15] <gaelfx> norbert79: I think it's a different part of /dev for different kinds of bluetooth devices
[07:15] <norbert79> gaelfx: Well, sure, but since I am clueless where to look, some advice would be welcome.
[07:16] <gaelfx> norbert79: for example, a mouse or keyboard would be something like hid, whereas headset would be something like audio
[07:16] <BILLYKANE1> iceroot,Thanks,next time I will try the suggestions.
[07:16] <norbert79> gaelfx: Right now I have a phone added as Bluetooth device, and would like to use COM transfer
[07:16] <norbert79> gaelfx: Yet I don't see anything which might point as being available for such
[07:16] <sublim21> alright 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] <sublim21> what magic words shall be typed into the terminal
[07:17] <sublim21> oh pray tell masters of the natty
[07:17] <norbert79> sublim21: If you have installed it through dpkg or apt-get, use either "dpkg -r" or "apt-get purge" and the name of the package
[07:17] <gaelfx> norbert79: yeah, I'm not sure where that would show up, but it does seem that /dev is this most likely place. lemme check
[07:17] <norbert79> gaelfx: Sure, thank you...
[07:18] <norbert79> gaelfx: /dev let me down unfortunetaly... :(
[07:18] <sublim21> norbert79: thanks nor.  btw, your brother q.  kind of sucks.
[07:18] <norbert79> sublim21: Whatever you say :)
[07:18] <gaelfx> norbert79: com transfer as in a remote control?
[07:19] <kolix> what does CTRL+g mean in linux?
[07:19] <kolix> CTRL + the g key?
[07:19] <norbert79> gaelfx: Yes, would like to make possible running a phone-handling application running
[07:19] <elky> whaaaaat
[07:20] <BILLYKANE1>  kolix:，that is the way dvtm shorcut works：press down ctrl，then press g,then release both. then press C
[07:20] <norbert79> gaelfx: 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] <gaelfx> norbert79: did you check the bluetoothremotecontrol page?
[07:20] <norbert79> gaelfx: Since I doubt this has been left as it is...
[07:21] <norbert79> gaelfx: Not yet, but the weird thing is, that I AM able to remote control my desktop through the phone WITHOUT any tricks
[07:22] <norbert79> gaelfx: So this is why I doubt I would need to hack /etc/bluetooth, and there must be a dev present in /dev
[07:22] <norbert79> gaelfx: But I might be still wrong
[07:22] <zed_> Hello, is there anyone know how to play *.MTS format file?
[07:23] <gaelfx> norbert79: I think you would need to edit that to change functionality, but I'm not sure how to, sorry
[07:23] <zed_> kmplay looks like not work
[07:23] <norbert79> zed_: Did you try VideoLan?
[07:23] <norbert79> zed_: VLC seems handling it
[07:23] <asdjaputra> VLC
[07:24] <zed_> norbert79, VideoLan? Ok, I'll try it.
[07:24] <zed_> Thank you all~. :-)
[07:24] <norbert79> gaelfx: Oh well, thank you anyway for trying...
[07:24] <norbert79> zed_: You are welcome!
[07:25] <JoeR1> well, margianl success
[07:25] <asdjaputra> elky, are you playing around with operator status ;)
[07:25] <gaelfx> JoeR1: meaning?
[07:26] <elky> asdjaputra, not playing
[07:26] <JoeR1> gaelfx: my screen nows displays in 1080 but the gui still failed to laod
[07:26] <elky> asdjaputra, trying to make sure people aren't going to come here and insult everyone again
[07:26] <asdjaputra> elky, what are you doing, renew bans?
[07:26] <gaelfx> bans are serious business ;)
[07:26] <elky> asdjaputra, fixing them
[07:27] <norbert79> gaelfx: Appearntly ffmpeg might be able handling it. So I guess having that and playing it under Totem might do the trick
[07:28] <JoeR1> gaelfx: Suddenly, and without warning, the nouveau driver showed up so I am setting that to active
[07:29] <JoeR1> I shall return to report failure or triumph
[07:29] <gaelfx> JoeR1: well, when you disable nvidia drivers, nouveau is pretty much the only other option. what exactly do you mean that the gui doesn't load?
[07:30] <kolix> hey BILLYKANE1, you still around?
[07:30] <gaelfx> norbert79: or vlc ;)
[07:30] <BILLYKANE1> kolix,I am here
[07:31] <norbert79> gaelfx: For which you just told, that it didn't work... :S
[07:31] <kolix> BILLYKANE1, i'm using dvtm
[07:31] <BILLYKANE1> then?
[07:31] <kolix> but i've got like 4 winwdos crunched in the top-left corner
[07:31] <kolix> anyway to use the full screen?
[07:32] <kolix> do i need to use screen too?
[07:32] <BILLYKANE1> I don't know...
[07:33] <BILLYKANE1> You can try..
[07:33] <BILLYKANE1> well. in fact ,seldom did I use this console based apps.lol
[07:34] <kolix> how do i exit dvtm?
[07:35] <BILLYKANE1> exit?
[07:35] <fyksen> killall dvtm ?
[07:35] <kolix> do i just kill it?
[07:35] <BILLYKANE1> I am not sure.try type exit
[07:36] <eviscares> Hello all.
[07:36] <kolix> cool
[07:36] <eviscares> Does someone know how I could download a file from a ppa via a browser? I have to copy it to another pc which doesn't have internet access.
[07:36] <BILLYKANE1> it work?
[07:37] <kolix> yeah
[07:37] <asdjaputra> eviscares, launchpad.net
[07:37] <BILLYKANE1> :)
[07:37] <asdjaputra> kolix, Ctrl+C
[07:39] <happygolucky> i installed a program from source and then deleted it from bin
[07:40] <happygolucky> but when i type the name of the program it still points to the program
[07:40] <happygolucky> how do eliminate that
[07:40] <gschwepp> happygolucky: whereis [programname] and have a look.
[07:41] <iceroot> happygolucky: i guess reload the shell-session would fix it
[07:41] <iceroot> happygolucky: not sure when PATH is read
[07:41] <eviscares> thanks
[07:42] <happygolucky> gschwepp: shows nothing now that i rm from bin
[07:42] <theadmin> iceroot: Items in $PATH aren't cached or anything, deleting it will instantly remove it from $PATH, however
[07:42] <happygolucky> iceroot: i ctrl+d and relogin and still the command exists
[07:42] <theadmin> happygolucky: Try "which progname"
[07:43] <iceroot> theadmin: ok thanks for the info
[07:43] <gaelfx> eviscares: I don't think you can install the ppa that way though, it would be the same as installing manually the packages that are available from the PPA, but without the same updateability
[07:43] <happygolucky> theadmin: it's gone, nothing there but the command stayed
[07:43] <happygolucky> wait
[07:43] <happygolucky> i'm wrong
[07:43] <happygolucky> the command is gone
[07:44] <happygolucky> i must have ctl+d and then switched to a diff tty, sorry all
[07:44] <thecpaptain> what do i do if i have a broken package ?
[07:44] <thecpaptain> i'm trying to install a package using update manager
[07:44] <thecpaptain> but it says i have a broken package
[07:45] <gaelfx> thecpaptain: I believe that's a job for sudo apt-get check
[07:45] <theadmin> thecpaptain: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
[07:45] <asdjaputra> thecpaptain, sudo apt-get install -f
[07:45] <gaelfx> thecpaptain: ignore me
[07:45] <theadmin> asdjaputra: -f install, otherwise it thinks "-f" is a package name
[07:45] <decio_> thecpaptain, are you using Pinguy?
[07:45] <thecpaptain> the agony of choice l0l
[07:45] <kolix> BILLYKANE1: my terminal is cutting off on my larger monitor
[07:45] <thecpaptain> i'm on ubuntu, i have no idea what pinguy is heheh
[07:45] <JoeR1> Woo Hoo! Welcome back GUI!
[07:45] <thecpaptain> so which one of them should i choose ?
[07:45] <gaelfx> JoeR1: nouveau works?
[07:45] <thecpaptain> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install ??
[07:46] <asdjaputra> theadmin, oh right, thanks for the info
[07:46] <theadmin> thecpaptain: Do that, yes
[07:46] <thecpaptain> got it
[07:46] <JoeR1> gaelfx, 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 content
[07:47] <thecpaptain> Errors 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] <gaelfx> JoeR1: I've never really used it so I don't know, but I will say that VDPAU does WONDERS for me
[07:47] <theadmin> thecpaptain: Nothing too good... Try the command again, but before it this time do "sudo apt-get clean"
[07:47] <JoeR1> gaelfx, I have heard VDPAU mentione frequently, what is it?
[07:48] <JoeR1> mentioned*
[07:48] <gaelfx> JoeR1: if you want to get rid of the old NVidia drivers, I suggest apt-get -purge nvidia-current or whatever
[07:48] <gaelfx> JoeR1: it's a way to make sure that tough video processing is handled by the video card and not the CPU
[07:48] <thecpaptain> i'm on it, its processing
[07:49] <JoeR1> gaelfx, I will be taking a different apporache because the driver were installed from the Nvidia website and therefore are not listed by jockey
[07:49] <gaelfx> JoeR1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU
[07:49] <JoeR1> gaelfx, You misunderstand, i want to know WHAT VDPAU is.
[07:49] <JoeR1> ah, I see
[07:49] <JoeR1> sorry
[07:49] <gaelfx> JoeR1: ah, yes, that is generally a bad idea. Jockey makes things much simpler, especially w/ regards to kernel updates
[07:49] <thecpaptain> it worked :) thanks
[07:50] <theadmin> thecpaptain: No problem. Seems like a failed download in the past :D
[07:50] <gaelfx> thecpaptain: I'm sorry, I have to ask, are you a CPA?
[07:50] <JoeR1> gaelfx, it will be a long a torturous crawl through my system
[07:50] <thecpaptain> :D
[07:50] <thecpaptain> what's a CPA ?
[07:50] <gaelfx> certified public accountant
[07:50] <thecpaptain> errr no idea
[07:50] <gaelfx> though there are probably other meanings for it as well
[07:51] <thecpaptain> i'm guessing its a profession ?
[07:51] <thecpaptain> accountant
[07:51] <thecpaptain> ah
[07:51] <thecpaptain> hehe nope i'm not
[07:51] <thecpaptain> why ? :)
[07:51] <FloodBot1> thecpaptain: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:52] <theadmin> I'm not sure that channel even exists, most Ubuntu channels are #ubuntu-two_letter_country_code
[07:52] <gaelfx> JoeR1: it might not be so bad really
[07:52] <asdjaputra> vietname code is:..

[07:52] <gaelfx> !vt

[07:54] <asdjaputra> minhthong, uh yes, how can i help you
[07:55] <fabio> because rsync is making load getting higher
[07:55] <jasonmsp> hey all.  I'm looking into options for setting up a softphone and getting a telephone number so when I am out of the country clients can ring me.  What are your thoughts on Dimondcard  and are there other alternatives for setting up a line to my computer?  On the linux side what program is best?  Empathy, Ekiga, Twinkle, etc?
[07:55] <norbert79> jasonmsp: Skype?
[07:55] <norbert79> jasonmsp: Works well
[07:56] <jasonmsp> (other than skype .. ) =_
[07:56] <minhthong> asdjaputra, I use zorin OS 5 . When I finish update driver, the splash is problem
[07:56] <minhthong> how can I fix it?
[07:56] <theadmin> minhthong: We do not support derivatives.
[07:56] <theadmin> minhthong: The only distributions this channel supports are Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and maybe a few others
[07:56] <minhthong> but zorin OS is ubuntu 11
[07:56] <theadmin> minhthong: ZorinOS is not a supported deriv
[07:57] <gaelfx> minhthong: what he means is that it's only based on Ubuntu 11, with some changes, which most of us here don't know anything about
[07:58] <norbert79> jasonmsp: other than skype... Well... Emulation is out of the question, right? (Wine)
[07:58] <minhthong> yes it's only based on U 11
[07:58] <jasonmsp> norbert79:  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.
[07:59] <theadmin> minhthong: We can't support it. Sorry.
[07:59] <norbert79> jasonmsp: I see...
[07:59] <jasonmsp> norbert: (linux is the host, windows is the guest)
[07:59] <norbert79> jasonmsp: Hang on
[07:59] <asdjaputra> minhthong, seek for help in official forum zorin-os.com
[07:59] <JoeR1> gaelfx, One more into the void my friend
[07:59] <asdjaputra> http://www.zoringroup.com/forum/
[07:59] <jasonmsp> norbert79:  If it is a viable alternative I'm open to it..
[07:59] <minhthong> theadmin, how to change boot screen, splash?
[07:59] <iball> hi, i have a ubuntu desktop with a scsi hba... i have some old legacy audio workstation hardware which uses scsi and ide, i was wondering if i could connect the workstation directly to the hba and have ubuntu emulate scsi/ide hard disks?
[08:00] <norbert79> !vopi jasonmsp
[08:00] <norbert79> !voip
[08:00] <theadmin> minhthong: We do not support ZorinOS. However, in regular Ubuntu, that can be done with a tool called "StartUp Manager" if I recall right
[08:00] <gaelfx> JoeR1: ok, what's up?
[08:00] <norbert79> jasonmsp: ^^
[08:00] <norbert79> Never heard of Gizmo5 though
[08:01] <minhthong> theadmin, yes i want to ask for u 11. what software is best to change splash?
[08:01] <jasonmsp> norbert79:   yeah I'm reading the community docs on Ekiga now.
[08:02] <jasonmsp> norbert79:  Is dimondcard the only provider or are there others/
[08:02] <jasonmsp> ?
[08:02] <norbert79> jasonmsp: If you need real phone access I guess Gizmo5 would be useful, otherwise I would recommend Mumble for voip transfer.
[08:02] <norbert79> jasonmsp: I have no idea unfortunetaly. I only used Skype so far
[08:02] <theadmin> minhthong: Well, you've got the answer. I only know one such software to do it via a GUI
[08:03] <norbert79> jasonmsp: 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] <minhthong> theadmin, how about supper grub 2?
[08:03] <minhthong> theadmin, does it good?
[08:03] <theadmin> minhthong: That's got nothing to do with bootsplashes at all, it's a recovery tool
[08:03] <jasonmsp> norbert79:  well techinically I'm, in the middle east at the moment, but I tunnel into our servers in the US.
[08:03] <gaelfx> minhthong: I'm not sure that's what you use for splash screens
[08:03] <norbert79> jasonmsp: Yet, you might also consider Google's solution too
[08:04] <urlin2u> minhthong, supergrub is for booting broken setups
[08:04] <minhthong> ah thanks
[08:06] <minhthong> theadmin, super-boot-manager it have plymouth-manager so i think it can change splash

[08:20] <droid2> Scssi?? No problem
[08:20] <iball> ?
[08:22] <droid2> You can hook it up. Type in sudo fdisk -l  from the terminal and should show up active in the list or.. Easier. Plug it up and run the ouve cd. The drive should show show up up under the home folder
[08:23] <DJHalcyon> Hello, is anybody available to answer an embarrasingly newbie question?
[08:23] <droid2> Live uhh autocheck
[08:24] <droid2> yes n00be us. . How can i help
[08:24]  * Langly oils droid2
[08:24] <DJHalcyon> I'm pretty new to Linux, and I'm trying to apply a patch I found that will enable a specific device to work, but I'm not sure how to do that, let alone how to discern what I ought to be patching.
[08:25] <Mear> I'm wondering if someone can answer a quick question about ubuntu and texlive.
[08:25] <urlin2u> !ask
[08:26] <Mear> I've got a dual boot W7 and ubuntu with an NTFS data partition. I'd like to install texlive and texmaker so that I can use it from both, or at the very least acces the user files. Can I install it directly to the ntfs partition?
[08:27] <droid2> DjHalcyon what is it
[08:27] <DJHalcyon> droid2 It's for the Elgato Video Capture. I can shoot you the URL I found for the patch if you like.
[08:28] <droid2> Well you are in luck.  Image on my android now. Shoot the directions
[08:28] <stevethepirate> Is it possible to get compiz-like effects in Gnome3?
[08:28] <theadmin> stevethepirate: Gnome3 is not supported here. And I've found no way to do so.
[08:29] <iball> droid2: i dont think u understand what i am saying
[08:29] <urlin2u> stevethepirate, in fedora you can.
[08:29] <DJHalcyon> droid2: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg24270.html
[08:29] <stevethepirate> theadmin: It's a bit silly to say that the default window manager is not supported here :)
[08:30] <theadmin> stevethepirate: Default for Ubuntu is Unity
[08:30] <stevethepirate> Oh, this is true.
[08:30] <stevethepirate> Apologies, I did off a custom CD>
[08:30] <takeshy> were i can find this file on backtrack5 kde /etc/gdm/Init/Default
[08:30] <takeshy> no one can help me??
[08:30] <iball> droid2: i have old roland digital audio workstation which use ide/scsi hard disks, i'd like to emulate those ide/scsi disks via my desktop which is running ubuntu and has a scsi hba on it
[08:33] <droid2> Iball  ah. But the question should be grasshoppa. . What controller connects  the scsi. . And is the scsi  still supported?
[08:33] <iball> i dont follow
[08:34] <urlin2u> takeshy, etc is in files
[08:34] <Mear> Can anyone even hazard a guess as to whether w7 and ubuntu can share a texlive installation? if not, I'll just assume no.
[08:35] <takeshy> fuck all of you assholes
[08:35] <droid2> We must find out if these drives that are attached are connected to a scsi  controller which
[08:35] <Thelmaria> takeshy: Ask in #backtrack-linux... way to be rude about things.
[08:36] <iball> the roland has its own scsi controller im not sure what controller it is... i have a adaptec hba in my desktop
[08:36] <razer> Anyway to speed up ubuntu 11.04? It seems to be slower than 10.10
[08:36] <Thelmaria> razer: Are you on a laptop?
[08:36] <razer> Yes
[08:36] <Merley> razer: Purge the abomination called Unity
[08:36] <Merley> :)
[08:36] <iball> droid2: i need my hba to act as a scsi disk

[08:46] <droid2> Iball okay let me get this straight you want find out if your rollin equipment can read format  extension 4 formated scsi right?
[08:46] <Thelmaria> boothk: What difficult specifically are you having? Is the script executable?
[08:47] <mockas> -otc
[08:48] <boothk> Thelmaria: The script has ugo+rwx for the original machine (UNR 9.10), but on the second machine it comes up as u+rw (Ubuntu 11)
[08:48] <boothk> Thelmaria: It seems to completely ignore chmod, also
[08:48] <mehedi> can i download extra voice for espeak?
[08:48] <droid2> Mehexi
[08:49] <Thelmaria> boothk: Is the flash-drive mounted read-only, perchance?
[08:49] <nbros652> I'm writing a bash script in which I use a line like "read -p 'Enter text: ' text" however, for the input I want to be able to input the '\' character. Is there any way to read this without typing "\\" at the prompt?
[08:49] <droid2> Brb trying the text on my cell is a pain
[08:49] <boothk> Thelmaria: If it is, I've no idea how to mount it otherwise
[08:49] <pete__> uhhhohhh, I need swirmware?
[08:50] <pete__> can someone help me, I've got  broadcom Bluetooth USB
[08:50] <pete__> and I need something called swirmware and I can't figure out what it is
[08:50] <JadedJacob> How can I format a NTFS partition to ext3 in ubuntu command line?
[08:50] <Thelmaria> boothk: You could try copying it into /home, although that's not an ideal solution - sorry, I can't be of much more help.
[08:51] <takeshy> what's the best format of files ext3 or ext4
[08:51] <theadmin> Who was I in a PM session with just now? I got disconnected
[08:51] <razer> Hey guys trying to reinstall ubuntu 11.04 and it says that wireless network device not ready... It was ready before a reboot ten after the reboot, when I finally decided to install, this happens! Any help
[08:51] <nbros652> takeshy: I've had problems with write failures and corruption as recently as a year ago.
[08:51] <nbros652> takeshy: in ext4
[08:52] <takeshy> thanx nbros652
[08:52] <takeshy> so ext4 best than ext3
[08:52] <gaelfx> theadmin: me
[08:53] <nbros652> takeshy: depends. in my case I had encrypted my home folder and lost everything as a result when my computer froze and the delayed write didn't write.
[08:53] <JadedJacob> hello?
[08:53] <aeplus> ... damn, i have ext4
[08:53] <splitpaw-mobile> still there
[08:53] <Thelmaria> JadedJacob: You could use fdisk if you need to make a partition - otherwise, man mkfs.ext3
[08:53] <shomon> anyone know when an apache patch will be issued for ubuntu? for the big one released last week
[08:54] <boothk> thelmaria: Damn... not really the optimal solution..
[08:54] <JadedJacob> i've tried to use mkfs.ext3, but after it finishes the partition is still NTFS when i run 'fdisk -l'
[08:54] <takeshy> can some one send me a dvd of ubuntu to my home
[08:54] <takeshy> plzzzzzzzzz
[08:55] <compizz> I have messed up with compiz and now alt+f2 isnt wokring, how to fix this problem?
[08:55] <nbros652>  anyone here that can answer my bash question above? (Read a '\' character using the read command without typing "\\" in the prompt)
[08:55] <splitpaw-mobile> ok, 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 disks
[08:55] <Thelmaria> JadedJacob: You could always use fdisk to format, too.
[08:55] <JadedJacob> what is the command?
[08:56] <boothk> compizz: if i can remember what the application was called, you should be able to browse to it in /usr/bin...
[08:56] <yezariaely> JadedJacob: entry in partitition table is different than real filesystem
[08:56] <boothk> compizz: or somewhere in /usr
[08:56] <yezariaely> JadedJacob: change it with fdisk
[08:56] <yezariaely> this is not connected with each other
[08:56] <JadedJacob> yezariaely: OK, how can I get it to update?
[08:56] <splitpaw-mobile> on the relation to festival.. if you bring up synaptic package manage.. you ten do a searhc for festical... there are other voice formats there to choose from
[08:57] <Thelmaria> JadedJacob: change type (fdisk /dev/<Drive>, then 't' to change type - press 'l' to bring up type codes). Or man fdisk.
[08:57] <splitpaw-mobile> I said festical LOLZ!
[08:57] <yezariaely> JadedJacob: with fdisk
[08:57] <yezariaely> or as Thelmaria said
[08:57] <takeshy> who can send to me a dvd of ubuntu
[08:57] <takeshy> plzzzzz
[08:57] <yezariaely> takeshy: per email?

[09:10] <DJHalcyon> yezariaely: I have a URL for the patch I found, but I can't tell what the software is that I'm supposed to be patching.
[09:10] <penos> takeshy send me an email to gunitinug@gmail.com
[09:10] <razounette> takeshy: you should try dowloading it with bittorrent. dowload would resume when interrupted.
[09:10] <JadedJacob> I'm up to 'last cylinder or +size or +sizeMB or +sizeKB
[09:10] <yezariaely> JadedJacob: but take care...
[09:10] <yezariaely> JadedJacob: you do not need that
[09:11] <takeshy> ok penos
[09:11] <yezariaely> as was said earlier
[09:11] <yezariaely> simply change type of partition
[09:11] <yezariaely> not the size
[09:11] <JadedJacob> I'm trying to split a 2TB drive into 4 500GB partitions
[09:11] <yezariaely> ah
[09:11] <yezariaely> ok without data on it I hope?
[09:11] <yezariaely> this does NOT work with data on it.
[09:11] <yezariaely> you WILL loose your data
[09:12] <JadedJacob> there is no data on there no
[09:12] <yezariaely> godd ;) just want to make sure
[09:12] <razounette> I shut down my PC while GParted was moving my ext4 partition. now it is screwed up. can I try to recover it with tools like testdisk ?
[09:12] <takeshy> some can buy a ubuntu cd for me plzzzzz i don't have a credit card
[09:12] <mehedi34> has there any internet data meter for ubuntu?
[09:13] <JadedJacob> how do i change the type of partition in fdisk?

[09:13] <Guest1459> hi, i use lubuntu and have a problem with sound, some BD video files are low volume, but other have normal sound.   Sorry for my bad eng
[09:14] <DJHalcyon> yezariaely: I tried what you said and 3 hunks failed. Obviously this is where it starts to get patch-specific but I feel totally over my head here.
[09:14] <penos> takeshy dude send me an email
[09:14] <chalcedony>  when you install off the CD does it allow you to select the drive for installation?
[09:14] <Andy1978> razounette: you should always make a backup of your important data before playing with gparted...
[09:14] <jamiewan> and dont shut down when its doing stuff lol
[09:15] <yezariaely> DJHalcyon: does this patch really apply to the version you have?
[09:16] <DJHalcyon> yezariaely: I really have no idea. I need to get this device to work, and I lack either of the supported OSes, I found a patch that said it would add support for it in Linux. I'm really newbing it up here.
[09:17] <takeshy> penos message send ok
[09:17] <takeshy> bothamzanet@gmail.com
[09:17] <penos> ok
[09:18] <andeeeuk_> anyone see this error before: Failed to retrieve share list from server I am trying to access wondows share
[09:18] <Andy1978> razounette: even at this point when you did not make a backup before, you should do NOW make a backup with dd before trying to rescue the partition
[09:19] <andeeeuk_> anyone see this error before: "Failed to retrieve share list from server" I am trying to access wondows share
[09:19] <razounette> Andy1978: yep, y backed it up with ddrescue
[09:19] <razounette> I*
[09:20] <JadedJacob> Andy1978:why would he use DD over ddrescue
[09:20] <Andy1978> JadedJacob: it's not a physical problem rather a user problem
[09:20] <JadedJacob> k
[09:20] <Andy1978> JadedJacob: so there is no benefit of ddrescue over dd
[09:21] <JadedJacob> I'm currently trying to resuce a HDD
[09:21] <JadedJacob> it comes up as RAW data in Windows XP
[09:22] <andeeeuk_> any help with samba would be great! :@)
[09:22] <raj> hi!
[09:22] <andeeeuk_> :)
[09:22] <andeeeuk_> cant access windows share
[09:22] <Andy1978> JadedJacob: I think you have to distinguish if there is a hardware/physical problem with your drive or a "soft-" problem like interrupting a program while writing
[09:22] <raj> hi! andeeeuk..
[09:22] <loco123> Hi there, I am having trouble with VMware tools install onto my Ubuntu machine. I have alot of confusion around the kernel headers. Can anyone help with this?
[09:23] <meegooo> i have  thz.dtapart file how to excract it ?
[09:23] <javier__> hi to everyone. I don't get sound in my laptop (ubuntu 11.04). I was "touching" things yesterday trying to have audio in hdmi connection. And know I don't have audio at all in my laptop. Not sure about what did I touch
[09:25] <andeeeuk_> hi raj
[09:25] <yezariaely> DJHalcyon: patch for what? kernel?
[09:26] <DJHalcyon> yezariaely: It's a patch to add support for the Elgato Video Capture. I'm not sure which kernel.
[09:26] <Maximas> hi!
[09:26] <andeeeuk_> raj have you seen this before "Failed to retrieve share list from server"
[09:27] <yezariaely> DJHalcyon: the patch is normally for a specific kernel version
[09:27] <yezariaely> have a look in the patch file
[09:27] <chalcedony>  when you install off the CD does it allow you to select the drive for installation?
[09:27] <jamiewan> yes
[09:27] <c_nick> how to run something in the background
[09:28] <c_nick> eg:- ./exe <runasbackgroundprocess>
[09:28] <Andy1978> c_nick: add & at the end
[09:28] <c_nick> ok
[09:28] <javier__> now I noticed I've sound in vlc, for example, but not in banshee
[09:30] <javier__> maybe, the reason is that I runned this command: aplay -D plughw:0,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[09:30] <DJHalcyon> yezariaely: Nothing's really jumping out at me here. Would you mind taking a look?
[09:30]  * ahhughez is stuck trying to get audio out on his ASUS GT520's HDMI out. Anyone able to help me get started?
[09:30] <c_nick> thanks Andy1978
[09:31] <gschwepp> ahhughez: did you try it with alsamixer ?
[09:32]  * ahhughez tries now... thanks gschwepp
[09:32] <javier__> ahhughez: I was with that yesterday as well. Finally I got sound changing options in audio settings in Vlc, but now everything is mixed I don't have sound in banshee
[09:33] <ahhughez> Well 'says' my card is HDA Intel... witch is the mboards sound card... not the GPU.. is that wrong?
[09:34] <penos> takeshy you there? check your email
[09:35] <ahhughez> ha! select card... now NVidia... but only has S/PDIF.... is that pseudo for hdmi?
[09:35] <Tank852> HI. I have a .bin installation file here. How do in install in Ubuntu 10.04?
[09:36] <Andy1978> ahhughez: no, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF
[09:36] <Tank852> any ideas?
[09:37] <ubuntu_> Tank852
[09:37] <zagibu> Tank852: you make it executable, then run it
[09:38] <ubuntu_> download the ...mmmmmm in spaniosh its name is Gestor de descargas"
[09:38] <ahhughez> Andy1978, ya.... I got ya... but this graphics card only has hdmi out. Which confuses me
[09:38] <ubuntu_> i don't remember in english
[09:38] <Tank852> zagibu: how do i do that?
[09:38] <zagibu> sudo chmod +x filename
[09:39] <Tank852> sudo chmod a+x <drag the file to the terminal> ?
[09:39] <ubuntu_> but with this application you can install some .bin file
[09:39] <andeeeuk_> samba is buggy, DO NOT INSTALL.... at least not with 11.04
[09:39] <andeeeuk_> samba is buggy, DO NOT INSTALL.... at least not with 11.04
[09:39] <ubuntu_> but how this file is an executable
[09:39] <Tank852> i actually tried the chmod+x. nothing noticable happened?
[09:40] <ubuntu_> i suppose that you can to execute  directly
[09:40] <javier__> Hi. I have the audio problem after  trying hdmi audio. I think I changed settings and selected hdmi output sound and can't turn it back to normal. So I don't have sound in banshee or radio Tray, but I do in vlc for example. Some help?
[09:41] <Tank852> zagibu: Where did it install to?
[09:42] <andeeeuk_> samba is buggy, DO NOT INSTALL.... at least not with 11.04
[09:42] <Andy1978> Tank852: you can see the difference with "ls -l". Nevertheless: you your brain: do you trust the .bin file? Then: Is ist some sort of installer? Then it needs perhaps root rights and has to be run with sudo
[09:42] <Andy1978> s/you/use
[09:44] <Tank852> okay thx anyway
[09:46] <e01> can somebody help me with installing ubuntu 11.04 server on sw-raid
[09:47] <wildbat> eo\\\\
[09:47] <zagibu> Tank852: a bin file is just a binary file...it can be anything...if you make it executable and try to run it, you will see what happens. It might not work at all, or it might start a nice installer-gui or something
[09:47] <dr-willis> !raid
[09:47] <e01> after i setup hostname and set up the timezone, it detect partitions but then show me only two options, login into scisi, undu partition changes and back
[09:47] <zagibu> it might also be a rootkit
[09:48] <e01> dr-willis, it is hardware raid, in bios it is shown as SATA, SW-RAID
[09:48] <dr-willis> i dont use raids anymore. to many hassles
[09:48] <searching> when I open my pc my monitor change refresh rate and after 3 or 4 hits come back is a monitor problem?
[09:49] <zagibu> "hits"?
[09:49] <searching> kick
[09:49] <JadedJacob> once i've used cfdisk to make partitions and mkfs.ext3 to format partitions, is there anything else i need to do to "update" them for the system?
[09:49] <searching> with hand
[09:49] <searching> :)
[09:50] <c_nick> searching, check if the cord is lose
[09:50] <e01> dr-willis, for office server i think raid is good
[09:50] <dr-willis> use a hammer. ;)
[09:50] <Andy1978> e01: you really don't want to use software raid in you bios/chipset aka "fake raid"
[09:51] <Kingsy> anyone know what I am doing wrong here, I have vino-server on a computer of mine, I then opened up port 5900 on the router, and attempted to connect to the pc with      vncviewer 89.55.BLAH:5900   it says
[09:51] <searching> isn't
[09:51] <Andy1978> e01: you propably want to use software raid provided by your distribution
[09:51] <c_nick> searching either the point where the cable goes to the External Power Supply or the input to the monitor point somewhere there might be a lost connection
[09:51] <andeeeuk_> samba is buggy, DO NOT INSTALL.... at least not with 11.04
[09:51] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  you mean get the system to actualy use them? mount them somewhere.
[09:51] <e01> Andy1978, what i have to set in bios?
[09:51] <JadedJacob> I want to save a copy of my internal drive using ddrescue.
[09:52] <JadedJacob> I'll mount them and see if it works
[09:52] <Kingsy> http://pastie.org/2453604 <-- that when I try to connect
[09:52] <dr-willis> andeeeuk_:  stop trolling.
[09:52] <Night-hacks> ive installed tofrodos but dont dos2unix command
[09:52] <Night-hacks> dont have*
[09:52] <Kingsy> it looks good.. but when it asks for a password I enter it and it does nothing, if I type it again I can acually see characters coming up.. (hence the C^ thing when I crashed it)
[09:53] <Kingsy> anyone know what I am doing wrong?
[09:53] <Andy1978> e01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[09:53] <Ad0> hi
[09:53] <andeeeuk_> dr-willis sorry, just thought i would let eveyone know :)

[09:54] <Ad0> I have a software RAID, and I did an apt-get upgrade and I got from grub-pc: "The GRUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present"
[09:54] <Ad0> and I can pick disk
[09:54] <dr-willis> andeeeuk_:  useless spamming like that may get you booted from here.
[09:54] <dr-willis> andeeeuk_:  i suggest you stop spreading fud.
[09:55] <andeeeuk_> dr-willis.... thanks for letting me know
[09:55] <andeeeuk_> just supprised that samba is in such a state on 11..04!!!!
[09:55] <e01> Andy1978, the problem is that i do not get the partitioner
[09:55] <andeeeuk_> Not work your time everyone!!!
[09:55] <SpiderFred> hi guys I am stuck creating most basic function for backup and it doesnt work when I run it from text file and I get now error output. how to find out what is wrong?
[09:55] <TheoKar> hi
[09:56] <dr-willis> Night-hacks:  the binary may be under a new name. check the package mgr. to see what it installed
[09:56] <e01> the installator, go to detecting, and then stop, with option to login into iscsi partition, and that is
[09:57] <TheoKar> I'm relative new to ubuntu, just tried version 11.04 and after first boot I got the message that my system is to slow to work with unity, so I should use Ubuntu classic while logging in
[09:57] <mtnz> pls if someone can help, i am with ubuntu 11.04, i have set the power prefrences to never to hibernate, still it goes into hibernation after about 10 min. then when i have to snap it back it bugs the screen and everything becomes so slow...and after 2 clicks with the mouse averything freezes and i have to restart from the button of the pc.
[09:57] <tomodachi> TheoKar: yup, so what is the question?
[09:57] <SpiderFred> here it is but I see nothing wrong with it http://pastebin.com/fzd6eNbg
[09:58] <dr-willis> TheoKar: whats your video chipset
[09:58] <TheoKar> I installed some additional drivers and after the next boot I suddenly have working unity. (which I don't want) so after switching back to Ubuntu Clasic the design of the Panels hase changed. How can I get them back to use the System Theme?
[10:00] <JadedJacob> any users of ddrescue around?
[10:00] <TheoKar> On logging in, the design I wan't is there for a glimps of a second but then the ugly old grey panel is comming back
[10:00] <sandertje> TheoKar: System --> Preferences --> Appearance ?
[10:00] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  used it a few times
[10:00] <magnifiqueman> /msg BotServ BOTLIST
[10:00] <JadedJacob> any success?
[10:01] <magnifiqueman> //msg BotServ BOTLIST
[10:01] <JadedJacob> I have a 200GB internal seagate drive formatted as NTFS, that is showing up in windows as file system "RAW"
[10:01] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  rescued 2tb of data. lost 100mb. ;)
[10:01] <TheoKar> sandertje: there I can set another theme, yes. This affects my window design but doesn't affect the panel design at all
[10:01] <JadedJacob> but in ubuntu rescue remix, it comes up as NTFS
[10:01] <magnifiqueman> OkI
[10:01] <JadedJacob> I'm making an image of it, before I try and run chkdsk on it.
[10:01] <Kingsy> anyone have an idea about my problem?
[10:02] <JadedJacob> dr-willis: when you ran ddrescue, did you use /dev/HARDRIVE or /dev/HARDDRIVE.PARTITION NAME
[10:02] <magnifiqueman> JadedJacob, you must to do click left (i'm french)
[10:02] <sandertje> TheoKar: perhaps something with Compiz?
[10:02] <magnifiqueman> after
[10:03] <JadedJacob> the faulty drive is /dev/sdb, and the partition is /dev/sdb1
[10:03] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  use sdb1 or similer
[10:03] <sandertje> JadedJacob: what about the other partitions?
[10:03]  * Langly turns JadedJacob into Kirsten Dunst
[10:04] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  but either can work i belive
[10:04] <JadedJacob> I used the command, sudo ddresucue -r 3 /dev/sdb /mount/recovery/image.img log
[10:04] <JadedJacob> there is only 1 partition.
[10:04] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  and use a logdile like rhe docs saw
[10:04] <dr-willis> say
[10:04] <JadedJacob> should I have used /dev/sdb1 ?
[10:04] <magnifiqueman> JadedJacob, ypu speak french ?¿?
[10:04] <JadedJacob> yep, I used a log file :)
[10:04] <JadedJacob> no i don't speak french
[10:05] <magnifiqueman> OkI
[10:05] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  either can work. may be easier to use sdb1
[10:05] <dr-willis> you can then easily mount the rescued  image via mount
[10:06] <TheoKar> sandertje: and what something can that be? after switching back to ubuntu theme (with unity) I still have the ugly grey panels only with unity! panels still not affected by the theme settings
[10:06] <DJHalcyon> Can someone tell me how to determine which kernel a patch was created for?
[10:06] <JadedJacob> mount the rescue image on a rescued parition or Full HARD DRIVE?
[10:06] <dr-willis> you mount an inage to a mountpoint..
[10:07] <dr-willis> nit a partition ir garddrive
[10:07] <dr-willis> or a harddrive
[10:07] <JadedJacob> yeah but can that be done on both an image that was created from a parition as well as a full drive?
[10:07] <fladd> is anyone here familiar with serial port programming and can answer me a question?
[10:07] <dr-willis> yes.. but sda1is easier to do it with
[10:07] <JadedJacob> ok
[10:08] <JadedJacob> Well I have a 2tb external drive.
[10:08] <dr-willis> less options. more flexible
[10:08] <Younder> You know.. The inabillity of Unity to launch several programs of the same name is a pain
[10:08] <sandertje> TheoKar: i have no clue, actually
[10:08] <Ad0> does anyone know? :S
[10:08] <JadedJacob> With 2 partitions, so I'll create another image on the 2nd partition, and use the partition in the ddrescue command this time.
[10:08] <dr-willis> Younder:  gmm. it can do that middle click i think
[10:08] <Younder> some might say a show stopper
[10:09] <dr-willis> unkeess im confusedby what you mean
[10:09] <Younder> dr-willis, It's counter intuetive
[10:09] <TheoKar> its a fresh and normal installation, wich killed the panel design capability. how can I get that back to use the system themes?
[10:09] <dr-willis> Younder:  si..
[10:09] <Ad0> did an apt-get upgrade, and grub-pc says "The GRUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present, or whose normally unique identifier has changed for some reason." I have raid5 maybe that's the reason
[10:10] <dr-willis> unity and gnome shwlls are works in progress..
[10:10] <rymate1234> O_o
[10:11] <dr-willis> !iso | JadedJacob
[10:11] <mkfazeli> mkfazeli
[10:11] <dr-willis> JadedJacob:  similer to above example
[10:12] <Younder> gnat-ada is extremely buggy
[10:12] <Younder> gnat-sds
[10:14] <Younder> we wine all the time.. What a wonderful OS you have maintained
[10:14] <Banyo> May I have yout attention for a second guys_
[10:15] <Banyo> I have a problem booting ubuntu, its like some kind of ckecking
[10:15] <Younder> Banyo, of cource
[10:15] <Banyo> its like Battery state:                     [OK]
[10:15] <Banyo> and such, and it just stands like that and nothing happens
[10:15] <JadedJacob> ok thanks guys
[10:15] <JadedJacob> I'll have a go and a google :)
[10:15] <Younder> Banyo, You have a laptop?
[10:15] <Banyo> No, its a PC
[10:16] <Younder> Banyo, the turn that laptop stuff off
[10:16] <JadedJacob> what's the best way to bring a screen back, that has gone to sleep if I'm running a recovery command?
[10:16] <JadedJacob> arrow keys? space bar?
[10:16] <Banyo> I mentioned battery because thats the only thing i remeber
[10:16] <Langly> All night by the xev xev
[10:16] <Banyo> I will now try to find an image on google to show you what am I talking about
[10:17] <Banyo> there is whole list of things and it says that they are [OK]
[10:17] <Younder> Banyo, good luck. when you have a clearer idea dont fail to check back here
[10:17] <DJHalcyon> Would anybody be willing to Gchat for about 10 minutes about some simple Linux questions that I'm having?
[10:18] <Younder> Banyo, we need your feedback
[10:18] <Younder> ops
[10:19] <JoeR1> hello folks
[10:19] <TheoKar> which window manager is set for the standard profile?
[10:20] <BlouBlou> TheoKar: I think it's compiz
[10:20] <BlouBlou> window composer
[10:20] <ubuntu_> Compiz
[10:23] <penos> is there a program like garageband?
[10:23] <yacine> hi evrybody :)
[10:24] <Kingsy> just started a tightvnc server and tried to connect to that and got the same thing.. can someone offer any advice?
[10:25] <axion> i just installed nautilus-elementary to try it, didnt like it, removed it, reinstalled nautilus...and now i cannot login graphically. dreaded ice authority updating error. google solutions dont help. any suggestions? new ubuntu user :)
[10:30] <xqix9u2v> axion, try deleting some . files in your home directory
[10:30] <mudkip> smart.net
[10:31] <xqix9u2v> Kingsy, why install that i think vino is builtin, and enabled w checkbox...
[10:31] <xqix9u2v> penos, ardour is worth checking out
[10:31] <gschwepp> penos: you want to record music ?
[10:31] <gschwepp> penos: http://rgrwkmn.hubpages.com/hub/Recording-in-Linux-aka-Free-and-Open-Source-Digital-Audio-Workstation
[10:32] <penos> gsch kind of
[10:32] <Johnny_Giggles> If I insert a USB stick and mount it on Ubuntu, does it modify the USB stick in any way?  (OS X puts silly files on the USB stick)
[10:32] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: I have, but I cant connect to it either
[10:34] <xqix9u2v> did you install a firewall?
[10:34] <xqix9u2v> open port 5900
[10:34] <CptNyggah> Why are there two FloodBots in here?
[10:34] <sattu94> CptNyggah: there used to be three..
[10:35] <gschwepp> Johnny_Giggles: no. i don't think so. You can just try it.
[10:35] <Johnny_Giggles> yep
[10:36] <Johnny_Giggles> I don't think it does.  But then the OS X files are hidden on OS X
[10:36] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: yup
[10:36] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: and no, I don't have a firewall
[10:36] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: I have sshed into the machine and ran
[10:37] <xqix9u2v> telnet hostname 5900
[10:38] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: k 1 sec just rebooting the machine remotely to start clean
[10:38] <ubuntu_> Alguien puede indicarme como reparar el grub desde la consola?
[10:39] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: ok I have just started the server with vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565 -httpport 5900
[10:39] <xqix9u2v> it may be conflicting with vino?
[10:39] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: it now says     chris     1936  0.0  0.1  20476  4716 pts/0    S    11:38   0:00 Xtightvnc :1 -desktop X -auth /home/chris/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /home/chris/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -fp /us  BLAH      from ps aux | grep "vnc"
[10:39] <xqix9u2v> run it on dif port
[10:40] <xqix9u2v> ok so u can connect but yea run it on 5901
[10:40] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: ahh that could be the problem then.. I only have port forwarding setup on 5900
[10:40] <gschwepp> Johnny_Giggles: yeah. Hidden os x files are hidden in osx that the way it works :).
[10:41] <Kingsy> let me direct another port through
[10:41] <Kingsy> 1 second
[10:41] <xqix9u2v> ahh i see, you already didn that on 5901
[10:42] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: what do you mean?
[10:42] <xqix9u2v> no i didnt read your earlier message carefully... you are on right track
[10:43] <Younder> so unity hasn't renders UNIX totally useless but only because I have  a BASH shell
[10:46] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: ok I have just routed another port 5901 through
[10:46] <Kingsy> I will try to connect
[10:47] <chewy_> hi guys, anyone here using spotify or a nice alternative to it?
[10:47] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: exactly the same problem
[10:47] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: it asks for a username.. then a password.. then does nothing
[10:49] <agoristduane2> Hey I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 from a cd but it won't install...when I tell it to install it just bring me to a black screen with a few lines of text...it has been like that all night and nothing has changes
[10:49] <agoristduane2> *changed
[10:49] <xqix9u2v> Kingsy, what client on what platform?
[10:49] <Banyo> I made a thread about my problem
[10:49] <xqix9u2v> agoristduane2, verify cd?
[10:49] <Banyo> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11201491#post11201491
[10:49] <Banyo> can anyone help me with it?
[10:50] <agoristduane2> Yup I have and it's not the cd that's the problem
[10:50] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: ahh just got connected..
[10:50] <xqix9u2v> gnome installation...  best left to devs
[10:50] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: but for some reason, the screen is a basic X
[10:50] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: how do you load gnome with the vnc?
[10:51] <Kingsy> I started the server like this
[10:51] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565 -httpport 5901
[10:52] <dr-willis> vncserver by default is running whats in. vnc/xsession perhaps
[10:52] <xqix9u2v> Kingsy, hmm i see... you need to have x server running beforehand
[10:53] <dr-willis>  .vnc/xsession or similer
[10:53] <Kingsy> xqix9u2v: it should be.. I booted the pc up so gnome should be running
[10:53] <Kingsy> dr-willis: ok..
[10:53] <Kingsy> let me see wahts in there
[10:53] <dr-willis> vncserver dies not need a xsession beforhand
[10:53] <dr-willis> except for vino. or x11vnc
[10:53] <Kingsy> dr-willis: in .vnc the only files I have are mars:1.log  mars:1.pid  mars:2.log  mars:2.pid  passwd      xstartup
[10:54] <xqix9u2v> no but then you will be in twm,
[10:54] <Kingsy> twm?
[10:54] <dr-willis> Kingsy:  edit xstartup as needed
[10:54] <dr-willis> andbe sure to close/kill extra vnc sessions
[10:55] <xqix9u2v> you have a menu when u click a mouse button?
[10:55] <dr-willis> vncserver -kill :1    and so on
[10:55] <xqix9u2v> thats twm
[10:55] <dr-willis> i normally use jwm with vnc
[10:55] <Trashi> hi. i have a 1.5ghz pentium4 and 1024 GB shared memory machine. im looking for a good os, because at the moment winxp is running and its really slow ... what would you commend? ubuntu or better xubuntu? dont know .. maybe gnome2 is to much, so xfce would be the better choose?!
[10:55] <Kingsy> yeah thats it..
[10:55] <Kingsy> umm I will edit that file and see what I get
[10:56] <Onepamopa> guys, anyone knows how to enable tcp_nodelay? openvpn screams: setsockopt TCP_NODELAY=1 failed (No kernel support)
[10:56] <xqix9u2v> you want to run x beforehand otherwise u run twm or jwm whick isnt much better
[10:56] <dr-willis> Kingsy:  i make mine run 'xterm &' and then 'exec jwm' For example
[10:57] <dr-willis> Trashi:  least powerhungry is lubuntu
[10:57] <xqix9u2v> so ssh in startx then connect
[10:57] <Kingsy> dr-willis: hmm how do I get it to load a normal gnome window session again ?   exec gnome-session or something ? I forgt
[10:57] <xqix9u2v> actually u hmmm..
[10:57] <dr-willis> Kingsy:  yes
[10:57] <Kingsy> dr-willis: cheers
[10:57] <xqix9u2v> i dont think you can run startx remotely
[10:57] <Trashi> dr-willis: nice .. will look for .. thanks!
[10:58] <dr-willis> compiz and vnc not a good combo
[10:58] <paul_uk> hi all, is there a way to hide .ext~ files?
[10:58] <dr-willis> xqix9u2v:  for vnc thers no need to
[10:58] <xqix9u2v> lol ^^
[10:58] <paul_uk> by that I mean .txt~ .php~ .whatever~ files
[10:59] <glebihan> paul_uk, if you're in nautilus, Ctrl+H
[10:59] <dr-willis> paul_uk:  would be a filemanager featurr
[10:59] <Onepamopa> well, think it's time I repeat the question: guys, anyone knows how to enable tcp_nodelay? openvpn screams: setsockopt TCP_NODELAY=1 failed (No kernel support)
[10:59] <xqix9u2v> u might as well... then why run vnc you can simply forward x/...
[10:59] <paul_uk> gelian, im using thundar ok i'll ask in xbuntu
[10:59] <dr-willis> xqix9u2v:  i got vnc on my phone. not x
[10:59] <Kingsy> dr-willis: that worked :) just two things, first when I frist connected I got an error saying I didnt have the hardware to run the selected config and to select gnome-classic ??
[11:00] <xqix9u2v> no need for vnc if you are going to run jwm lol
[11:00] <nisstyre> I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint
[11:00] <glebihan> paul_uk, I think it's the same in thundar as in nautilus
[11:00] <dr-willis> Kingsy:  tep.. thats why i suggest a wm other then gnome
[11:00] <agoristduane2> Hey I think I was able to get to the install page...I say " i think" because after i selected install ubuntu i was brought to a black screen with an empty gray box in the middle any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
[11:01] <dr-willis> jwm is ideal for vnc. about as light as you can get
[11:01] <Johnny_Giggles> Is there a mint channel?
[11:01] <Kingsy> dr-willis: also when I was viewing cheese (my webcam) vncviewer just closed, in the terminal I had this message--
[11:01] <Kingsy>  main:        End of stream
[11:01] <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?)
[11:02] <xqix9u2v> dr-willis,try reading this http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ssh.html
[11:02] <glebihan> !gnome3 | chewy_
[11:03] <xqix9u2v> x already runs over network
[11:03] <xqix9u2v> no need for vnc in your case
[11:04] <dr-willis> xqix9u2v:  my case? what case.
[11:04] <dr-willis> ive used xdmcp for 10+ years. it has its pros and cons.
[11:04] <xqix9u2v> if you are running jwm for vnc that is pointless...  might as well run your regular wm
[11:05] <dr-willis> vnc also has its pros anc cons
[11:05] <dr-willis> xqix9u2v:  you are confused about vnc i think
[11:06] <xqix9u2v> yes, but the whole point of vnc is that you get to use whatever wm you want
[11:06] <dr-willis> a complex destop can make vnc very slow.
[11:06] <xqix9u2v> if you like jwm fine
[11:06] <xqix9u2v> nope
[11:07] <xqix9u2v> you probably do not have a root window jpeg/wallpaper in jwm thats why it feels fast to you
[11:07] <Kingsy> dr-willis: xqix9u2v: thanks for your help.. it works which is a start
[11:07] <xqix9u2v> vnc is only limited by network speed
[11:07] <agoristduane2> Is there no one on here willing to help me?
[11:08] <agoristduane2> I've stated my problem twice and got 1 reply who didn't reply after that...is anyone on here willing tk help a linux bewb?
[11:08] <agoristduane2> *linux newb
[11:08] <dr-willis> vnc has other limits as well. but i must be off.
[11:09] <lion42> agoristduane2, attempting to guilt-trip people for support is unlikely to help you.
[11:09] <dr-willis> bbl.
[11:09]  * ahhughez continues to try and get his hdmi audio working. I can now see the correct card 'HDA NVidia' in AlsaMixer... and the 'PCM' (whatever that is) appears to be on max volume/level. But still no sound :'( any suggestions?
[11:09] <lion42> However, I would recommend re-asking your question at a later hour, and my only personal recommendation would be to ensure that you're installing a copy of ubuntu compatible with your system, and trying a fresh copy if that's the case.
[11:09] <xqix9u2v> no it doesnt it just sends a picture and mouse and kb thats it
[11:10] <alejandro> lol
[11:10] <agoristduane2> ...I wasn't trying to guilt-trip people and i apologize if it seems that way... And thanks for the suggestion Lion42
[11:10] <xqix9u2v> nothing complicated about vnc it needs bandwidth
[11:12] <ytzasdf> my ubuntu install hangs on "Attached SCSI removable disk"
[11:13] <ytzasdf> i'm using usb install
[11:14] <marekw2143> hi, I've installed openvpn package, and I have files with extensions: .crt, .ovpn, .key. How can I connect to VPN?

[11:16] <bacon> there might be more information available there
[11:16] <kristjan> Hello! Could anyone help me?
[11:17] <kristjan> I installed SWAT 4 with wine and game works great, but i can't find a way to add SWAT 4 to my applications menu :S
[11:17] <marekw2143> volga629: so in NetworkManager I switched to VPN tab and what then ?
[11:18] <kristjan> i get error: Missing startup.ini file UNKNOWN: appInit
[11:18] <Kentrel> Hi, there's something suddenly wrong with my sound. Everything comes out with a "buzz"... Is there a way to fix this without logging out or rebooting?
[11:18] <volga629> marekw2143: first of all check if open vpn plugin installed for NetworkManager
[11:19] <TheoKar> I found the answer to my faulty panel. After calling:   "killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon && gnome-settings-daemon && nautilus -q" the panel-design is back and working.
[11:19] <marekw2143> volga629: synaptic shows that: network management framework (PPTP plugin) is installed
[11:19] <delinquentme> so I've got a new acer laptop that I've installed ubuntu on .. and im looking to get the wireless working .. i've found a few tutorials however they've kinda set me back .. ( fewer options on the wireless icon ... and still not picking up on the wireless networks around it )  .. i know the hardware is Atheros but i dont know the model number for that hardware ... I do have the windows version of the driver ...
[11:19] <volga629> marekw2143: look for openvpn one
[11:20] <marekw2143> volga629: what's that?
[11:20] <volga629> marekw2143: network-manager-openvpn
[11:21] <volga629> marekw2143: synaptic should find like this
[11:21] <marekw2143> volga629: ok, I've installed thta
[11:21] <marekw2143> *that
[11:23] <volga629> marekw2143: go to NetworkManager right click edit connections vpn tab and add choice openvpn from list and fill info according what you have
[11:24] <TheoKar> delinquentme: the windows driver might not work in ubuntu. wich version of ubuntu did you install?
[11:24] <delinquentme> TheoKar, 10.04
[11:25] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I need tomcat7 on ubuntu, but it somehow won't work on 11.04 so I tried updating to 11.10 (it's only for developing apps on my own), but I get the error: "Error authenticating some packages" (and a list of all packages). Any help  with either tomcat7 on 11.04 or the upgrade error?
[11:25] <marekw2143> volga629: ok, I've imported .ovpn, but how can I connect now to that network ?
[11:25] <delinquentme> I've read some have support based off of HAL ? but HAL was discontinued in 10.04? and also that this hardware might be natively supported in 11.04
[11:27] <TheoKar> delinquentme: is your system recognicing the hardware? which driver is used (if any)?    try lspci -v
[11:27] <delinquentme> yessss AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[11:27] <volga629> marekw2143: save connection. To connect left click on on NetworkManager tab and you should see vpn connection in list
[11:28] <delinquentme> TheoKar, ha i found that command just then :P
[11:28] <volga629> marekw2143: NetworkManager icon
[11:28] <delinquentme> TheoKar, this is weird >> Capabilities: <access denied>
[11:28] <delinquentme> under that wireless card
[11:29] <marekw2143> volga629: yes, but there in VPN menu are only two options : Configure VPN and Disconnect VPN . Option Disconnect VPN is disabled (can't click on it)
[11:29] <MK`> I noticed a few days ago that a folder named ~ was created in my home folder, as in, it's location is ~/~/. Does anyone else have this? What causes it?
[11:30] <TheoKar> delinquentme: shouldn't matter. I have the same message for all my network devices
[11:30] <delinquentme> ok sweet
[11:30] <TheoKar> delinquentme: whats there in the driver section?
[11:30] <Thelmaria> KNUBBIG: Have you tried updating and upgrading your apt-cache? In terminal: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrad
[11:30] <glebihan> MK`, probably a command you mistyped at some point
[11:30] <volga629> marekw2143: did assigned name to openvpn profile ?
[11:30] <Thelmaria> KNUBBIG: oops - that last one is 'sudo apt-get upgrade'.
[11:31] <MK`> I don't believe so. But I will doublecheck
[11:31] <marekw2143> voidmage: yes
[11:31] <KNUBBIG> Thelmaria: yes, I did that. I was just told in #ubuntu+1 that they had signing issues and I have to wait a bit
[11:31] <marekw2143> and I made it available to all users
[11:31] <Thelmaria> KNUBBIG: Ah, fair enough.
[11:31] <glebihan> MK`, does it reappear regularly if you delete it ?
[11:31] <razer> How can I change the position of an app in the unity launcher??
[11:32] <delinquentme> TheoKar, http://pastie.org/2453923 those are the two network related ones i believe?
[11:32] <volga629> marekw2143: so you should see in vpn you profile
[11:32] <MK`> glebihan: yes
[11:33] <marekw2143> volga629: where ?
[11:33] <MK`> .. glebihan when I delete it or rename it, it is instantly re-created.
[11:33] <TheoKar> delinquentme: http://blog.homelinux.org/?p=170
[11:34] <glebihan> MK`, in that case, there's very likely a script containing a mistyped command somewhere
[11:34] <stratoka> hi all
[11:34] <glebihan> MK`, do you use some kind of a sync system ??
[11:34] <volga629> marekw2143: if you left click on NetworkManager icon you should VPN connections:
[11:34] <MK`> glamorblue: No, where can I look at running scripts?
[11:35] <chewy_> glebihan, thanks. so that means it can break the system. i thought there would be some gdm choosing DE with the install. Thanks for your help
[11:35] <marekw2143> volga629: but what's interesting, in "Wired" I don't see anything, but I've defined /etc/networks/interfaces with vim for wired connection
[11:35] <glebihan> MK`, well... "ps -ef" could be a start
[11:35] <chewy_> glebihan, with a gdm DE choice, unity or gnome3, this would just crash the X session, but nothing else. if some libs are involved, definitely not funny.
[11:36] <ytzasdf> my ubuntu  usb install hangs after this: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
[11:36] <ytzasdf> any tips
[11:36] <glebihan> chewy_, it shouldn't crash anything else than you desktop sessions
[11:36] <MK`> glebihan would I look for something running under my own user, not root?
[11:37] <glebihan> MK`, probably yes, what use does the "~" folder belong to ?
[11:37] <glebihan> *user*
[11:37] <delinquentme> TheoKar, Ok giving it a test run ... brb
[11:37] <chewy_> glebihan, but there won t be with the ppa install 2 sessions available, right? you can t choose between unity or gnome3 in a gdm prompt, can you
[11:37] <chewy_> ?
[11:37] <ytzasdf> sigh
[11:37] <marekw2143> and clicking on "connection information" generates window with information: no valid active connections found
[11:37] <MK`> Ah, yes, I forgot about that. I own it glebihan
[11:37] <ytzasdf> ubuntu: advertises to be easy to use, impossible to install
[11:37] <TheoKar> delinquentme: ok
[11:37] <glebihan> MK`, then yes it's probably a script running as your user
[11:38] <volga629> marekw2143: when you left click on NetworkManager icon what you see should have Wired ... on the bottom it should be VPN connections
[11:38] <glebihan> chewy_, no unity will be broken if you choose to install gnome 3
[11:38] <Thelmaria> ytzasdf: On the whole, it is. (easy to install, that is). Did you checksum the install iso image?
[11:38] <marekw2143> volga629: that's true
[11:38] <wasanzy> hi all
[11:39] <volga629> marekw2143: Do you see under vpn connection with profile name ?
[11:39] <wasanzy> I have a vodafone usb modem broadband, which when I plug it to my laptop, it detects it but is not connecting to the internet
[11:39] <ytzasdf> Thelmaria, yes the hash is the same
[11:40] <ytzasdf> and i cant find any info on my error -_-
[11:40] <marekw2143> volga629: when opening NetworkManager via "System" -> "Preferences" -> "Network Connections" ?
[11:40] <wasanzy> I have been using this for some time till today
[11:41] <BSaboia> hi guys. does anyone rent a VPS or a dedicated server here?
[11:41] <wasanzy> but now the Betavine Connection  Manager show the device is N/A
[11:41] <Thelmaria> BSaboia: Not really an ubuntu question, per se.
[11:42] <BSaboia> Thelmaria, yes, i know it is a little bit off topic
[11:42] <wasanzy> pls who can help me?
[11:42] <marekw2143> volga629: after unchecking  "enable connections" and then after checking it once again, I see my VPN connection in "VPN connections" submenu
[11:42] <BSaboia> but there is not a direct place to ask this, and i thought that maybe here is a good place, since many people here should be linked to system management and so on
[11:43] <Thelmaria> ytzasdf: You're trying to install the right version for your hardware?
[11:44] <wasanzy> any one to help me with the modem?
[11:44] <ytzasdf> 11.04
[11:44] <volga629> marekw2143: you should have NetworkManager icon in task bar
[11:44] <ytzasdf> i'm trying to install ubuntu
[11:44] <marekw2143> volga629: I've got it
[11:44] <delinquentme> SO it seems that didnt work ... presuming b/c the other software that I've installed ... i think ill blame the 'mad wireless' ? TheoKar
[11:44] <glebihan> BSaboia, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:44] <ytzasdf> for a p67 sabertooth/i7/etc.
[11:44] <marekw2143> volga629: and there's VPN connection name under "VPN connections " menu
[11:44] <ytzasdf> ubuntu 11.04 desktop that is
[11:44] <marekw2143> volga629: it's checked
[11:44] <volga629> marekw2143: so you connected ?
[11:45] <marekw2143> volga629: but clicking "Connection informations" generates : No valid active connections found!
[11:45] <BSaboia> glebihan, danker
[11:45] <iszak> Anyone know what's going on with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/799938 ?
[11:45] <Thelmaria> ytzasdf: Are you using a live-cd iso? Do you get to a desktop, or the thing won't even manage to boot?
[11:46] <volga629> marekw2143: when you press ones on vppn connection name it will try connect
[11:47] <OerHeks> iszak, read the last comment #34 wich gives a solution ( maybe) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/799938/comments/34
[11:47] <TheoKar> delinquentme: madwifi?
[11:47] <marekw2143> volga629: but maybe my NetworkManager is corrupted? when I click "enable networking" (to uncheck that) I still have access to internet
[11:47] <iszak> OerHeks, that's a work-around I want it baked into the core.
[11:47] <ytzasdf> Thelmaria, i'm using the ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[11:47] <delinquentme> TheoKar, yeah apparently its a possible solution for atheros wireless chipsets
[11:48] <OerHeks> isxak, then you have to wait for an update.
[11:48] <iszak> OerHeks, I want to speed up the process; there's basically no indication a fix will even be provided.
[11:48] <TheoKar> delinquentme: so previous to your madwifi installation it didn't work either?
[11:48] <delinquentme> TheoKar, correct
[11:48] <volga629> marekw2143: 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/log
[11:48] <OerHeks> iszak, the url is the fix, did you try it ?
[11:49] <Thelmaria> ytzasdf: 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] <TheoKar> delinquentme: and you do have wireless network around you to access? :-)
[11:49] <iszak> OerHeks, yes I have and it does fix it but I want to see it baked in.
[11:49] <ehsan_> Hi guys
[11:49] <ehsan_> I have a problem with eucalyptus
[11:50] <delinquentme> TheoKar, yeah haha :D its my own that i setup and i can connect to it with other laptops
[11:50] <ehsan_> when I try to run the eucalyptus-describe-availabilty -zones verbose to see if we have resources
[11:50] <volga629> marekw2143: if vpn connected you should see small lock on top of NetworkManager icon
[11:50] <ehsan_> I see no resources
[11:51] <marekw2143> volga629: so VPN is not connected
[11:51] <ehsan_> and all of the resources in zones is set to zero
[11:51] <marekw2143> ifconfig -a don't show that
[11:51] <delinquentme> how diffierent is 10.04 from 11.04 ?? ( ubuntu )
[11:51] <dr_willis> delinquentme:  very :)
[11:51] <ehsan_> of course my nodes are registered
[11:51] <iszak> delinquentme, unity is the default UI is the major one.
[11:51] <volga629> marekw2143: explain what you see
[11:51] <ehsan_> somebody said that your nodes are not registered
[11:51] <TheoKar> delinquentme: so first thing to do, deactivate unity :-)
[11:52] <ehsan_> but when I try to euca_conf --list-nodes
[11:52] <delinquentme> dr_willis, what about the LTS ... when will the next LTS supported version come out?
[11:52] <dr_willis> or read some unity docs.. and learn to use unity..
[11:52] <dr_willis> !lts
[11:52] <marekw2143> volga629: I see information about 4 interfaces: eth0, lo, vboxnet0 (that's for VirtualBox I guess) and wlan0
[11:52] <ehsan_> I see the two nodes ip's that I have registered
[11:52] <dr_willis> 3 yrs after last lts.. i think. :) if im reading that right.
[11:52] <volga629> marekw2143: so vpn not connected
[11:53] <ehsan_> Could anybody help me please?
[11:53] <volga629> marekw2143: what version of ubuntu ?
[11:53] <glebihan> dr_willis, nope a LTS every 2 years usually
[11:54] <delinquentme> dr_willis, so is it safe to assume if i dont want to become an ubuntu hacker i should stick ot 10.04
[11:54] <dr_willis> delinquentme:  i dont worry about sticking to LTS. i use what i like...
[11:54] <glebihan> delinquentme, the next LTS should be 12.04 (though it's not official yet)
[11:54] <dr_willis> 11.04 works fine for me.. actually the alpha of the next release is working decently well for me also. :)
[11:55] <FAMAS> i need help
[11:55] <dr_willis> 10,11,12 = 3 yrs... :)
[11:55] <FAMAS> i cannot connect to synirc server
[11:55] <FAMAS> help
[11:55] <marekw2143> volga629: maybe I should start some VPN daemon?
[11:55] <marekw2143> volga629: hmm, maybe I've removed NetworkManager daemon from startup daemons somewhen
[11:55] <dr_willis> FAMAS:   never heard of it..... elaborate on the issue..
[11:55] <FAMAS> it is an irc server
[11:55] <FAMAS> just like freenode
[11:56] <dr_willis> FAMAS:  you mean its an Irc NETWORK....
[11:56] <FAMAS> yeah
[11:56] <FAMAS> like that
[11:56] <dr_willis> so you connect to any of its servers.. and there ya are.
[11:56] <FAMAS> now neither xchat nor chatzilla has it on their serverlist
[11:56] <FAMAS> but i can connect to it via mirc
[11:56] <marekw2143> volga629: 11.04
[11:56] <FAMAS> and that is on my windows 7
[11:57] <FAMAS> i cannot bring mirc to this ubuntu
[11:57] <FAMAS> @.@
[11:57] <FAMAS> help
[11:57] <volga629> marekw2143: NetworkManager should be on startup to manipulate network connections
[11:57] <marekw2143> volga629: but I've probably removed it in the past from startup
[11:57] <marekw2143> volga629: and now I'm using /etc/network/interfaces
[11:58] <volga629> marekw2143: you want doing everything manually ?
[11:58] <marekw2143> volga629: nono, I just want VPN connection :)
[11:58] <marekw2143> volga629: how to check if network-manager is removed from startup ?
[11:59] <bluenemo> uninstall nm ;)
[12:00] <sylow> Hi, 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] <marekw2143> bluenemo: and maybe how to enforce so that nm is always started?
[12:00] <dr_willis> network manager is started by default..
[12:00] <dr_willis> unless you somehow broke it. :)
[12:01] <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] <bluenemo> imho nm is broken by default ;) i use wicd if i need it graphicly for some reason
[12:01] <sylow> I see examples with mysql db and tables for the addresses, I wonder if that's needed
[12:01] <marekw2143> ohhh
[12:02] <volga629> marekw2143: update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove
[12:02] <marekw2143> volga629: what will that do ?
[12:02] <bluenemo> remove nm from init scripts
[12:03] <marekw2143> ok, I removed
[12:03] <volga629> marekw2143: remove from startup
[12:03] <dr_willis> im not even sure if update-rc.d works any more with upstart.
[12:03] <dr_willis> I dident think he wanted to remove it.. Unless i missread what he has been saying..
[12:03] <marekw2143> yes, I just wanted to ensure that it will start :)
[12:03] <bluenemo> well then it wont do this now :)
[12:03] <dr_willis> Unless you have removed it or broke it.. it should start.
[12:04] <bluenemo> nm is the default network interface management tool on ubuntu and should start up by itself after a successfull installtion
[12:04] <MK`> It seems Chromium's user-data-dir is not an absolute location but begins at ~/
[12:05] <Thelmaria> !upstart
[12:05] <marekw2143> now my network configuration is done manually by /etc/network/interfaces
[12:06] <bluenemo> just check the network management tools. ip, dhclient, and so on
[12:08] <kristjan> Hello! Where are panel .desktop files located?
[12:08] <volga629> here some info: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/update-rc.d.8.html
[12:09] <marekw2143> hmm, I'll read and configure openvpn by hand
[12:09] <carera> hi boys
[12:09] <BlouBlou> hi carera
[12:09] <carera> please, i have a line of numbers and i need to remove lines given by those numbers from specific file, can anyone give me a quick help?
[12:09] <carera> $ sed '1d,3d,4d,5d' file.txt just doesnt work
[12:10] <coz_> kristjan,  look in /usr/share/applications
[12:11] <kristjan> there is no swat 4
[12:12] <marekw2143> uff, now my ifconfig -a shows interface tap
[12:12] <kristjan> i need to open up panel swat 4.desktop
[12:12] <marekw2143> but firefox can't make use of that
[12:12] <coz_> kristjan,  what is  swat4?
[12:12] <kristjan> game
[12:12] <kristjan> I have problem with the game
[12:13] <kristjan> The desktop shortcut works fine and runs the game
[12:13] <kristjan> when i add it to my panel list with same command, it won't run
[12:13] <Pici> kristjan: Are you trying to run a game under WINE?
[12:13] <kristjan> yes
[12:13] <coz_> kristjan,  ah
[12:13] <Pici> !appdb | kristjan
[12:13] <kristjan> i asked in #wine and they told me to look under distrubution channel
[12:13] <kristjan> ubottu i did
[12:14] <kristjan> one person told me, that it's not wine fault
[12:14] <jetscreamer> so you don't have a problem with running the game
[12:14] <coz_> kristjan,  then look under .wine in the home directory
[12:14]  * Cortex chuckles at that incredibly hilarious statement
[12:15] <jetscreamer> so don't say 'the game' because they'll redirect you to #winehq
[12:15] <kristjan> no, game works fine, only the shortcut in panel wont work
[12:16] <kristjan> is there a way to edit my panel icons with gedit?
[12:16] <kristjan> coz_ there's nothing
[12:16] <Pici> !enter
[12:17] <kristjan> Pici: where is the !appdb located?
[12:17] <coz_> kristjan,  you could try to look under gconf-editer   /aps/panel/   see if anything is under there,, although I doubt it
[12:17] <Pici> kristjan: I don't understand your question.
[12:17] <Pici> kristjan: !appdb is a trigger to make ubottu tell you about Wine's appdb
[12:18] <kristjan> where is gconf-editor located?
[12:18] <coz_> kristjan,  whcih version of ubuntu on you running there?
[12:18] <kristjan> 11.04
[12:18] <coz_> kristjan,  open a terminal and type  gconf-editor
[12:18] <kristjan> Done, now?
[12:19] <c_nick> how can i check permissions for a particular user
[12:19] <coz_> kristjan,  well as I said  maneauver to   /apps/panel   see if anything is under there, but I doubt it
[12:20] <coz_> kristjan,  I am surprised there is a panel icon for the game after installing into wine  but I know little about games/wine
[12:20] <Enmity> Whenever my laptop boots it boots into a blank screen. I have to ctrl-alt-del to get it to boot into a grub menu. I think there is an old suspend image that it is trying to load that is broken. How do I delete it?
[12:20] <coz_> !blank screen
[12:20] <volga629> Enmity: what ubuntu version ?
[12:20] <Enmity> !blank_screen
[12:20] <kristjan> Wine automatically put the icon into desktop and not to panel, when i try to add the icon to panel, with the same command as in desktop, i get error
[12:21] <Enmity> I installed 10.04 I think then upgraded to 11.01 when it was out - it has been doing it for ages
[12:22] <coz_> kristjan,  ah I see.. not sure then,,, apparenlty the panel icon you  made is not seeing the executable under wine
[12:22] <Jcook_5xData> does anyone jnow what this package is called http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/831/screenshothf.png/
[12:22] <kristjan> coz_ how to fix that?

[12:24] <REEX> Thelmaria: all right i'll do apt-get update
[12:24] <xangua> there was a package for xfce4-panel to support gnome-panel appets
[12:24] <volga629> Enmity: I now in ubuntu 10.04 you need add in kernel line in grub.conf nomodeset
[12:25] <DSpair> Hello all. Need some help with apt.conf. We have an internal unauthenticated repo for our in-house packages. Is there a way to set the allow-unauthenticated option for that repo by default?
[12:25] <volga629> Enmity: I know sorry
[12:25] <Jcook_5xData> xangua, Hmmm it use to and I know the old one. I upgrade to 11.10 to see if I could use Unity (nope) I like gnome3 but it mess with my starcraft 2 playing
[12:25] <volga629> Enmity: sorry morning, I know in ubuntu 10.04 you need add in kernel line in grub.conf nomodeset
[12:26] <Enmity> when you suspend it just saves a file like a ram image or something, and upon booting if it detects one there it tries to decompress and load that? so all I need to do is delete the old failed suspend image?
[12:26] <bittin> Somone wants a Mac LC?
[12:26] <xangua> Jcook_5xData: 11.10 uses gnome3....
[12:26] <xangua> unity is just a shell
[12:26] <coz_> no it doesnt
[12:26] <coz_> sorry 11.10  does
[12:27] <dr_willis> !info weechat
[12:27] <volga629> Enmity: when you reboot you machine in grub press ESC to load menu and edit kernel line
[12:27] <Jcook_5xData> xangua, I know - I alway play with different desktop
[12:28] <dr_willis> Enmity:  it normally suspends using the swap partition. theres some options i recall to make it not try to recover/unsuspend.\
[12:29] <hiwk> using 11.04, so far with unity, what would be the prefered way to bind media keys (such as XF86AudioPlay)?
[12:29] <dr_willis> night all.
[12:30] <hiwk> I tried to bind that to a "run command" using CCSM, but it doesn't seem to "take", so I think something else is capturing it
[12:30] <Enmity> so can I mount the swap patition and try to ls for this file and delete it?
[12:31] <Thelmaria> Has init been fully replaced in ubuntu yet?
[12:31] <SirDidi> i want to install ubuntu with a usb-stick on my thinkpad, but it only appears this message -> Minimal BASH-like line editing si supported. for the first word...
[12:32] <Daghdha> Hi, is there a ubuntu preferred media server? (Like mediatomb)
[12:32] <SirDidi> what can I do?
[12:32] <Daghdha> One that's actually supprted maybe by ubuntu, i dunno
[12:33] <coz_> krisjan
[12:33] <coz_> kristjan
[12:34] <tonyti> olá algum canal BR ?
[12:35] <_ruben> !br
[12:36] <virunga> Hi
[12:36] <delinquentme> So when im trying fixes out for ubuntu... what are the chances that previous attempts at fixes would nullify a working fix .... IE it would normally work to fix said problem ... but it doesnt because of all the attempted fixes before ( this specifically applies to wireless card drivers )
[12:38] <eypal> in case here is some people from Canonical; there is something wrong currently at the http://webapps.ubuntu.com
[12:39] <eypal> you are already maybe aware of this but just to make sure..
[12:39] <eypal> good morning/day/evening to everybody and bye
[12:41] <kjeoiewd> M,Y TUMMY HURT!
[12:42] <Enmity> does anyone else have any insight how to delete a suspend image from my swap partition? dunno if that is even heading in the right track. To do that, just swapoff /dev/sda2 then mkswap /dev/sda2?
[12:42] <kolix> Hey guys
[12:42] <kjeoiewd> M,Y TUMMY HURT!!!

[12:44] <kolix> Thelmaria, thanks
[12:47] <Thelmaria> Enmity: If messing with the swap partition doesn't hlep, have you tried disabling and then re-enabling suspend / resume? How you'd do that, I'm not sure.
[12:48] <coz_> kristjan,  hey guy,, did you fix that issue?
[12:48] <coz_> kristjan,  you may have to  be sure ,, for that sortcut that it is pointing to wine and the executable for example   wine “/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Photoshop.exe”
[12:49] <coz_> kristjan,  you put wine at the beginning I believe,, at least it makes sense here
[12:49] <kristjan> no i didn't got it to work
[12:49] <kristjan> even when i create on desktop another icon with same command and name, i again get the error?!
[12:50] <capsoft> lo folks, i was wondering if i can change the resolution of ubuntu while working in m$ virtual pc
[12:50] <kristjan> looks like only the icon, what wine created, works :(
[12:50] <kristjan> even when i add the swat 4 to my awn dock, again... same error
[12:50] <coz_> kristjan,   as I said  you probably have to  make the command on that shortcut look similar to t his
[12:50] <coz_> kristjan,     wine “/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Photoshop.exe”
[12:50] <kolix> hey guys, just installed vsftp
[12:51] <Avasz> i only get about 150-200 kbps in scp from a machine in LAN. I thought it would be faster than that. what maybe the reason?
[12:52] <kristjan> coz_: i still get same error...
[12:52] <kristjan> looks like the icon can't find startup.ini
[12:52] <coz_> kristjan,  then #winehq  should have the resources to fix the issue, if they dont I would be surprised and disappointed
[12:54] <kristjan> i'll ask soon, first try something :)
[12:54] <japro> Are there other possibilities to broadcast my ubuntu desktop to streaming sites (justin.tv etc.) other than ffmpeg?
[12:55] <japro> I get very low frame rages with ffmpeg and can't figure out why
[12:55] <japro> -rages +rates
[12:55] <yujin> I have downloaded Nexuiz,but the package was broken.
[12:56] <coz_> yujin,  did you download from their site?
[12:56] <Cortex> how do I enable compositing?
[12:57] <coz_> Cortex,   do you want to run compiz?
[12:57] <Cortex> no, Docky
[12:57] <theadmin> Cortex: Hamsters like Docky need a compositing manager, such as Compiz. So... you do want to run compiz :P
[12:57] <coz_> Cortex,  on gnome  open gconf-editor   maeuver to  /apps/metacity/general   and enable compositing there
[12:58] <Cortex> apologies, thanks!
[12:58] <yujin> i download it by multiget
[12:58] <coz_> Corey,  if on the other hand you run compiz and this is ubuntu 11.04  classid  in a terminal    compiz --replace & disown
[12:58] <coz_> classic
[12:59] <cheryl> I need to see a geek about a webcam on Ubuntu 10.4
[12:59] <kjeoiewd> are you going to upload the video
[13:01] <Thelmaria> yujin: You could try using apt to install it - 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get install nexuiz'
[13:01] <Glenjamin> Hi guys, I'm trying to set the default browser to a shell script. I've updated x-www-browser via update-alternatives, but links are still opening in firefox - any ideas?
[13:01] <cheryl> I need to see a geek about a webcam on Ubuntu 10.10
[13:02] <theadmin> Glenjamin: You can set $BROWSER, too
[13:02] <theadmin> Glenjamin: For that to be permanent you might want it in your bashrc
[13:04] <Glenjamin> will that work in gnome?
[13:04] <RPS> Hi Guys, I need flash player and java to watch some video on a website. It's been a while since I started up from scratch and I can't remember the best way to determine what to download. Any helpful info will be appreciated
[13:04] <theadmin> RPS: As for Flash, apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[13:05] <theadmin> !java | RPS See this about Java
[13:05] <eros_> what is one of the better email clients for ubuntu
[13:05] <Cortex> another newbie question guys, when in Compiz, how do I enable compositing?
[13:05] <theadmin> Cortex: Compiz will always have it enabled
[13:05] <theadmin> Cortex: That's it's sole purpose
[13:05] <Glenjamin> theadmin: just tried doing "BROWSER=/path/to/script gnome-open <url>" with no effect
[13:05] <theadmin> Glenjamin: I don't think you want gnome-open, that uses GNOME's settings... You could try the universal xdg-open tool
[13:06] <Cortex> oh right, then I don't know what the hell Docky is doing then
[13:06] <Night-Hacks> i deleted the bottom panel in gnome 2.30 wrongly :( !
[13:06] <theadmin> !resetpanels | Night-Hacks
[13:06] <eros_> or more specifically should I use thunderbird or evolution
[13:07] <Night-Hacks> theadmin:  :'( all custom panels are gone !
[13:07] <heron> test
[13:08] <Glenjamin> theadmin: xdg-open also still opens in firefox =/
[13:08] <theadmin> Glenjamin: Okay, then I have no idea :/
[13:08] <Glenjamin> :(
[13:09] <Glenjamin> Preferences -> Preferred Applications only lists Ffx and Chrome, but update-alternatives includes my script. Any idea where the prefs dialog gets its settings from?
[13:09] <yujin> thanks Thelmaria ,my network speed very slow,i had to copy address from synaptic.
[13:09] <theadmin> Glenjamin: Nay, it should be gnome-specific stuff
[13:10] <jrib> can someone point me to documentation on what ubuntu does during boot?  i.e. how the kernel, plymouth, and X all interact?  I ask because I'm being bitten by this "blank screen bug": plymouth never seems to display the splash to me but ubuntu eventually boots after about 3 minutes (this is very long; it used to boot in less than 30 seconds)
[13:11] <midhuno> i am using ubuntu on my netbook but i can't connect to public wifi networks by that...but private wifi networks works good for me..anybody please help
[13:11] <splitpaw-mobile> !nosplash |jrib
[13:12] <theadmin> jrib: You may find this helpful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Booting
[13:14] <zogato> I'm having some troubles with Evolution. Currently running on natty. Evolution is constantly trying to send emails through a server that cannot send emails and thus everytime I boot evo up. It tries to send it over and over. I read on the forums that I can just go to my .evolution directory and delete the outbox file but there is no .evolution directory in my home folder. Could it be somewhere else?
[13:15] <theadmin> zogato: It is in your home folder.
[13:15] <theadmin> zogato: It's a hidden directory
[13:15] <midhuno> i am using ubuntu on my netbook but i can't connect to public wifi networks by that...but private wifi networks works good for me..anybody please help	
[13:15] <theadmin> zogato: Hit Ctrl+H to see those if you use the standard file manager
[13:16] <theadmin> zogato: Also, if I recall correctly, it's .config/evolution
[13:16] <jrib> I'm being bitten by this "blank screen bug": plymouth never seems to display the splash to me but ubuntu eventually boots after about 3 minutes (this is very long; it used to boot in less than 30 seconds).  Furthermore, I can boot much faster by forcing gfxpayload to equal text in grub.cfg.  However, something still seems to be "working" because even though I can get into X, I do not have access to my sound
[13:16] <jrib> card until about 3 minutes later (and this only after issuing udevadm trigger --sysname-match card0)
[13:16] <zagibu> midhuno: what's the error message?
[13:16] <kristjan> How can i create icon with command to cd to directory and then open file with wine?
[13:17] <theadmin> kristjan: Well, you can do exactly that ;)
[13:17] <jrib> kristjan: write a bash script that does that then have a launcher execute said script
[13:18] <kristjan> how can i create one?
[13:18] <jrib> kristjan: create one what?
[13:19] <kristjan> the bash script
[13:19] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:19] <jrib> kristjan: in a text editor, create a file with first line "#!/bin/bash" and then write your commands on the other lines.  Save and then make it executable.
[13:20] <splitpaw-mobile> Well you just opened a can of worms
[13:21] <kristjan> i can't get it to work
[13:21] <jrib> kristjan: be more specific
[13:21] <theadmin> kristjan: You need to make the file executable.
[13:21] <splitpaw-mobile> !bash |kristjan
[13:22] <pr0d> empathy IRC wrap around bug is driving me insane
[13:22] <theadmin> pr0d: Use a *real* IRC client then
[13:22] <pr0d> is there no sign of a fix?
[13:22] <kristjan> i opened up gedit and typed in:

[13:23] <jrib> kristjan: change " / to "/
[13:23] <pr0d> from searching the net the bug has been reported several times
[13:23] <theadmin> pr0d: Well then, just hope for them to fix it in a few years

[13:28] <RPS> theadmin: I'm not really clueless, I just the role of clueless on IRC. I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night though. ;) Thanks
[13:28] <theadmin> RPS: um... okay. No problem I guess
[13:28] <RPS> thank you for the help
[13:29] <splitpaw-mobile> Kristjan found that dosbox supports swat4 http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/NewSierraInstallers.html
[13:29] <DrkCodeman> anyone else get "wubi no root file system defined"
[13:30] <kristjan> what am i supposed to do with that?
[13:31] <chaospsychex> how do i create  a sql db? i have sqllite installed
[13:31] <theadmin> chaospsychex: sqlite3 somefile.sqlite
[13:32] <theadmin> chaospsychex: After that, well... CREATE TABLE something ( firstname STRING PRIMARY KEY, lastname STRING );
[13:32] <theadmin> chaospsychex: And such ;)
[13:33] <splitpaw-mobile> Kristjan you can install dosbox from aplication center and create a shortcut by right clicking on the swat4 startup and create shortcut. Copy to the desktop. Right clic,k on it and select edit. Your command should be somthing like this: dos /home/yourusername/swat4folder/sw4.com [or exe] and save it
[13:35] <RPS> Anyone I may have confused with my Holiday Inn Express comment should check a few of the commercials at this link to get a laugh. Then you'll know what I was talking about. LOL http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=holiday+inn+express+commercial&aq=1&oq=holiday+inn+express

[13:37] <sylow> to be able to receive pop3 mail, the postfix smtp can be set to local (they don't interfere), am I correct?
[13:37] <Baarn1> hey, how to use chmod to set different recursive file and folder permissions in the same subfolder? (i mean 755 for directories and 644 for files, for apache stuff)
[13:38] <Onlyodin> Baarn1, chmod +X will set directories only to +x
[13:38] <jrib> Baarn1: or use find, but it's strange that you would need to do this
[13:39] <dixit> nnel
[13:39] <dixit> channel
[13:40] <dixit> join #ubuntu
[13:41] <Baarn1> ok thanks, thought there was an easier way to specify only to toggle files OR folders
[13:41] <Onlyodin> jrib, doesn't sound all that strange to me, I just set chmod -R g+X (and chown) so that my webserver is able to traverse directories?
[13:42] <jrib> Onlyodin: why would you have directories that are not executable in the first place
[13:42] <Onlyodin> Baarn1, how much simpler do you want?
[13:42] <RPS> Sorry about the link earlier
[13:42] <damianfrancis> hey there I'm wondering if anyone here has had positive experience modifying the ubuntu installation iso's for ubuntu server to add pre configured software such as cassandra, hadoop, java, akka/scalla, etc
[13:42] <Baarn1> ya ok, that IS quite simple ;)
[13:42] <tomodachi> damianfrancis: why not use puppet instead for pushing out your packages?
[13:42] <Onlyodin> jrib, possibly something or someone had unset the execute flag?
[13:43] <jrib> Onlyodin: I would call that strange :P
[13:44] <Onlyodin> jrib, so, do you believe chmod -x should ignore directories?
[13:44] <jrib> Onlyodin: no
[13:45] <Daghdha> Anyone use MediaTomb on unbuntu? Is it ok?
[13:45] <yoshx> does anyone kwows mdadm ?

[13:49] <Accidus> I'm trying to upgrade from Maverick to Natty. The upgrade manager failed, the error in the /var/log/dist-upgrade/*/main.log file is "failed to SystemUnLock() (E:Not locked)". What should I do?
[13:53] <DrkCodeman> yeah windows 7 64bit doesnt show any issues with the os but ubuntu cant see the windows partition
[13:53] <DrkCodeman> weird
[13:53] <ionite> what is the difference between LTS 10.4 and 11.04?
[13:53] <DrkCodeman> was going to do side by side
[13:54] <xangua> ionite: long term support
[13:54] <ionite> xangua: does it mean that its less buggy and more stable?
[13:54] <Accidus> The main.log file can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/677991/
[13:55] <xangua> ionite: if by more stable you mean use old software, yes
[13:59] <ionite> xangua: so in other words 10.4 is more stable than 11.04
[14:08] <DrkCodeman> if windows 7 check disk doesnt see a problem with the partition and installation why is it ubuntu can't see the bootloader for it?
[14:09] <genii-around> DrkCodeman: Is it some EFI bootloader?
[14:09] <perlsyntax> If i got one sound card in the motherboard and  1 in pci and one in the other shout will it hurt my pc?
[14:09] <DrkCodeman> genii-around: no
[14:10] <perlsyntax> if i am it won't right in linux.
[14:10] <DrkCodeman> genii-around: it is the defaulted windows 7 boot loader
[14:10] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:10] <perlsyntax> anyone know:)
[14:11] <DrkCodeman> EFI is for creating a hackintosh :P
[14:11] <perlsyntax> will it hurt have 3 sound cards in linux or not?
[14:12] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:13] <bluehe2920>  what is this?
[14:13] <eduardoinsweden> hi, I partition disk in win7 for installing ubuntu, should i assign driveletter or not?
[14:13] <Slart> perlsyntax: hasn't hurt me so far
[14:13] <bbbbbbbb> my laptops touchpad has a "touch button" (upper left corner) designed to switch it on and off with an indicator led. works in windows, is there a way to implement this in linux? it is no real button, just a part of the touchpad
[14:13] <Slart> perlsyntax: pulseaudio helps a lot though.. so if you have problems using that it might be a bit painful getting all the audio to the right place
[14:14] <genii-around> perlsyntax: You should not have any ill effects from having 3 soundcards in your linux box
[14:14] <oooaaaooo> hi guys , i would like to install a gnash plugin for chromium, is there any way to do this?

[14:19] <IdleOne> eduardoinsweden: you want to remove windows but you need it for work?

[14:43] <norbert79> aol: Did you check the menu 'Places'? Are you sure it doesn't get auto-mounted?
[14:44] <dmtarmey> hello anyone able to help with flash i going mad please help help hepl im going mad
[14:44] <JakoLight> which browser do you use
[14:44] <JakoLight> firefox?
[14:44] <aol> norbert79: how do i check it does auto mounting ?
[14:45] <dmtarmey> iv tried firefox crome cromuim
[14:45] <eduardoinsweden> what is bootable flag
[14:45] <norbert79> You should be able selecting it, or via the filebrowser being able seeing it
[14:45] <JakoLight> aol: there is a config file for that
[14:45] <eduardoinsweden> should it be on or off in installation?
[14:45] <aol> JakoLight: where is it  located ?
[14:46] <eros_> When I install a .deb file where does it install it to?
[14:46] <zykotick9> eduardoinsweden, i'm not sure grub cares about boot flags, maybe?
[14:46] <zykotick9> eros_, depends on who made the .deb
[14:46] <JakoLight> aol: I dont remember google it: ubuntu mounting conf etc.
[14:46] <eduardoinsweden> i am doing new install
[14:46] <eros_> how would i go about finding and running a file then
[14:46] <eduardoinsweden> when I choose Guided installation it will not show the 3 partitions
[14:47] <szal> eros_: what did you install?
[14:47] <JakoLight> aol: but the newest version of ubuntu does auto-mounting by default
[14:47] <eduardoinsweden> but manually it detects it
[14:47] <eros_> debplay
[14:47] <eduardoinsweden> how can that be?
[14:47] <szal> never heard of
[14:47] <szal> !info debplay
[14:47] <zykotick9> szal, playdeb i think is the name
[14:47] <dmtarmey> hello is there a site with flash installed that wont need flash running on my computer
[14:47] <eros_> yes
[14:47] <szal> !info playdeb
[14:47] <DrkCodeman> anyone else having problems with wubi / side by side installation on larger hard drives?
[14:48] <DrkCodeman> ubunu doesnt see my windows 7 partitions
[14:48] <szal> dmtarmey: remote Flash doesn't exist, to my knowledge
[14:48] <eduardoinsweden> In manuall installation, there is 2 options "Use as" and "Bootable flag" what should I pick there?
[14:48] <zykotick9> DrkCodeman, 2TB mean different partition types need to be used
[14:48] <aol> JakoLight: but it doesnt for me
[14:48] <JakoLight> dmtarmey: you can find a .deb package at adobe's website
[14:48] <Pici> !flash | dmtarmey JakoLight
[14:48] <JakoLight> dmtarmey: have you tried that
[14:48] <eros_> oops sorry playdeb
[14:48] <zykotick9> eduardoinsweden, you can probably ignore the "bootable flag".  The "Use as" is important
[14:49] <splitpaw-mobile> dmtarmey from the prompt: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get -r install && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:49] <szal> zykotick9: in practice 2 TB is less than that, so msdos partition table will do (I have one here & no problems)
[14:49] <eduardoinsweden> what should I do with "Use as"?
[14:49] <dmtarmey> hello szal do you know how i can get flash working or how to put in on a server so people with linux flash problmems can still see youtube videos
[14:49] <ezeql> hi
[14:50] <szal> dmtarmey: as I said, that's not possible, for all I know
[14:50] <ezeql> i cannot install nvidia prop drivers : "driver is activated but not in use". any hints?
[14:50] <splitpaw-mobile> i just answer that dmtarmey from
[14:50] <aol> any body has any idea how to mount/read/open (be able to use) my external disk
[14:50] <DrkCodeman> zykotick9: yeah i have a 2TB drive so what do i do?
[14:51] <szal> ezeql: lspci | grep -i vga <- please
[14:51] <zykotick9> DrkCodeman, sorry i'm not really sure, I don't have any 2TB+ drives yet, so haven't personally had to try.  Look into GPT.
[14:52] <eros_> So when you install a .deb file via terminal it just puts it where it wants?
[14:52] <ezeql> szal, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[14:52] <eduardoinsweden> Guided install dont detect all partitions?
[14:52] <szal> ezeql: what do you want w/ an nVidia driver on an Intel chip?
[14:52] <zykotick9> ezeql, and you're wondering why nvidia isn't installing?
[14:52] <eduardoinsweden> it only shows me full disk
[14:53] <ezeql> szal, i do have two chip, the integrated one and a dedicated gforce 525m
[14:54] <DrkCodeman> zykotick9: what if i were to manualy create a partition within windows using partition magic format it fat im sure ubuntu would pick up on that
[14:54] <szal> ezeql: then you probably deactivated that one, otherwise it'd show up in lspci
[14:54] <zykotick9> DrkCodeman, i don't think so
[14:54] <DrkCodeman> :(
[14:54] <ezeql> szal , i didnt ... or i didnt want to...
[14:55] <szal> ezeql: you better go look in the BIOS & find out what display adapter(s) is/are listed there & activate the right one
[14:55] <decio_> Sense I can't have help from the fedora channel, can someone help me with a problem in fEDORA?
[14:56] <goncalo_> hi all!!
[14:56] <szal> decio_: no.
[14:56] <Pici> decio_: No, you need to ask in #fedora.
[14:56] <decio_> szal, come on, I just wanna know how to install flash player on this thing!!
[14:56] <decio_> Pici, I can't access
[14:56] <szal> decio_: this is Ubuntu support and not Fedora support
[14:56] <ezeql> szal, i cannot do that, theer is no such option on bios
[14:57] <Pici> decio_: You may need to register to join #fedora. See /msg nickserv help register or ask in #freenode
[14:57] <p1l0t> Dang hurricane took my server offline all weekend. My backup battery was only good for one hour
[14:58] <p1l0t> Hacked my mother nature.
[14:58] <decio_> Pici, I tryed and it doesn't work.. I just wanna know how to install some packages like the adobe flash player
[14:58] <IAmNotThatGuy> dmtarmey, Are you using Ubuntu 11.10
[14:58] <IAmNotThatGuy> ?
[14:59] <Pici> decio_: We cannot help you. Ubuntu and Fedora are not the same thing. Please ask in #freenode if you can't join #fedora for some reason.
[14:59] <szal> decio_: define 'doesn't work'
[14:59] <eros_> Nm I found it it adds a repository to ubuntu software center
[15:00] <decio_> does OpenSUSE and Fedora work like the same? Pici
[15:00] <Pici> decio_: I don't know. You need to ask them. This channel is for UBUNTU support only.
[15:00] <IAmNotThatGuy> decio_, you have #suse and #fedora working fine
[15:01] <mtnz> hope someone can help me, i am using ubuntu 11.04, i have set the screen energy not to shut off, but it still enters in hibernation after 10 min. of being in rest.....why is that??
[15:02] <aol> the auto-mount function is on, but still can use my external HD
[15:02] <mukti> Is there a way to tell if I have USB 3.0 ports? I forget what my laptop came with....
[15:03] <Thelmaria> I have some scripts imported from another distro which require mail. I don't have mail installed, and aptitude search mail has alot of candidates. Which mail do I want for cron jobs and the like to be able to mail me?

[15:05] <kjeoiewd> sippitiyou crys?
[15:05] <IdleOne> nnull: please play somewhere else
[15:05] <mukti> Is there any way to tell if I have usb 3.0? I ran lsusb and this was the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678044/
[15:06] <IdleOne> mukti: if you did you would see Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
[15:06] <IdleOne> you don't.
[15:06] <mukti> okay
[15:06] <mukti> thats what I thought, I just wanted to make sure
[15:06] <genii-around> "2.0 root hub"
[15:06] <FKman> hello all, i have problem with installing ubuntu 11.04 Server on Xen. Can anybody help me with ?
[15:07] <johnhamelink> Hi there, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.0 on my macbook pro 13" early 2011 (8,1). When I try to boot the liveCD, I get "unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem" from initramfs. Can anyone point me to a workaround to this problem? :)
[15:07] <g0th> hi
[15:07] <g0th> where can I specify where pulseaudio is sending its output?
[15:07] <g0th> when I play a file with e.g. mplayer -ao pulse I hear nothing
[15:08] <zykotick9> FKman, you might want to try asking in #ubuntu-server IF you don't get an answer here
[15:08] <szal> g0th: in the mixer or in pavucontrol
[15:08] <g0th> szal: in pavucontrol I see the bars moving under playback
[15:08] <mukti> what is the offtopic ubuntu channel?
[15:08] <FKman> zykotick9: ok, thanks
[15:08] <g0th> szal: but I still hear nothing
[15:08] <jmartin> hello
[15:08] <g0th> I selected digital audio everywhere
[15:08] <IdleOne> mukti: #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:08] <alakoo> mukti: #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:08] <g0th> what mixer?
[15:08] <mukti> oh, I put two #s
[15:09] <mukti> thanks
[15:09] <eduardoinsweden> can I create a swap partition after install?
[15:10] <g0th> szal: what mixer?
[15:10] <zykotick9> eduardoinsweden, 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)
[15:11] <eduardoinsweden> but how do I create swap partition? I only see the partitions that is available, created from windows
[15:11] <szal> g0th: whatever you have, what do I know..
[15:11] <Bogus8> Can anyone help me figuire out why is my raid 5 down with (s) spares indicated at the remaining 3 drives?
[15:11] <g0th> can anyone else help?
[15:11] <eduardoinsweden> do I need to creat partition in an excisting partion and use that for swa?
[15:11] <g0th> in alsamixer everything is turned on
[15:12] <Bogus8> I have obviously lost one drive and that is fine... I just don't know why I can't keep running at this point.
[15:12] <g0th> how can I debug this
[15:12] <g0th> if I hear nothing, how can I determine who's fault it is?
[15:13] <eduardoinsweden> how do I create a swap partition?
[15:13] <eduardoinsweden> I have only one partition to use?
[15:13] <BrianOfTacoma> I have a bash command line question... I am trying to delete all files within a certain folder of the type .mp3 (and all recursive folders) ... I know I am going to use "find" ...
[15:13] <BrianOfTacoma> but what should the location be?
[15:15] <volga629> <BrianOfTacoma: find / -name "*.mp3"-exec rm -rf {} \;
[15:15] <Pici> BrianOfTacoma, volga629: errr.. don't do that.
[15:15] <zykotick9> eduardoinsweden, 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.
[15:16] <Pici> BrianOfTacoma: 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 {} \; part
[15:16] <eduardoinsweden> but how do I know make a swap partition in intallation?
[15:17] <eduardoinsweden> now that I have only one partition to use for installing ubuntu?
[15:17] <jmartin> to answer SWAP question https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html
[15:17] <szal> eduardoinsweden: why do you have only one partition?
[15:18] <sauravs> how to make ubuntu run faster?
[15:18] <szal> sauravs: buy faster hardware
[15:18] <tomodachi> sauravs: how is it slow for you?
[15:18] <jansenra>  #magento
[15:18] <eduardoinsweden> Because I created one partition in windows7 to use for install ubuntu, why cant you create parition for swap in installation, that would be so logical
[15:19] <francis__> How do I join oneiric channel
[15:19] <szal> francis__: /join #ubuntu+1
[15:19] <ocmsRzr> hi, 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.
[15:20] <volga629> Pici: rm is not delete ?
[15:20] <jmartin> this is the first time i have ever used IRC from a server.
[15:20] <szal> eduardoinsweden: use Custom partition setup, or better yet, partition w/ GParted, then use Custom Partition Setup to just assign the mount points
[15:20] <ocmsRzr> I 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 off
[15:20] <ezeql> szal, i have found on lspci info this line : 01:00.0 3D controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0dec (rev a1)
[15:21] <szal> ezeql: pretty much says nothing as to what model it is
[15:21] <zykotick9> ocmsRzr, you had to use "Advanced" button and tell installer to put Grub onto the USB - it's quite possible
[15:21] <ezeql> szal, its gforce 525m
[15:21] <Pici> volga629: It is, but whitespace in filenames can make find and exec do weird things. I try not to take chances with that.
[15:21] <zykotick9> ocmsRzr, by default it would have installed to HD even though you installed onto the USB
[15:21] <volga629> Pici: you can not use -f option and it will ask for confirmation to delete file
[15:21] <eduardoinsweden> There is not Custom partition setup in the installer guide
[15:21] <ocmsRzr> zykotick9: can you be a little more specific? Grub prompted where to install, and I chose /dev/sdb once and /dev/sdb1
[15:21] <ocmsRzr> both had the same result
[15:22] <eduardoinsweden> there is only "Partition disks" in the installer menu
[15:22] <mukti> Are there any programs similar to rsync that work over FTP in Ubuntu?
[15:22] <zykotick9> ocmsRzr, are you sure the usb was sdb?  during the install.
[15:22] <Pici> volga629: That could be for hundreds of files.
[15:22] <DrkCodeman> so ubuntu doesnt look for gpt it only detects mbr partitions?
[15:23] <ocmsRzr> zykotick9: Only insofar as when I chose to rescue the install later, sdb showed up as the correct drive
[15:23] <jmartin> quit
[15:23] <ocmsRzr> I don't have a hard drive
[15:23] <francis__> join #ubuntu+1
[15:23] <zykotick9> francis__, you need /join
[15:23] <eduardoinsweden> Where is the "Custom partition setup" in the installer? I cant find it, need to make a swap partition
[15:23] <ocmsRzr> I have two usb sticks, one I made into an alternate installer cd
[15:24] <ocmsRzr> and the other is the target usb that I want persistent
[15:24] <volga629> Pici: that right to :-0
[15:24] <eduardoinsweden> wtf.... this install sucks
[15:25] <user> add downloaded packages in synaptic package manager
[15:26] <user> add downloaded packages in synaptic package manager
[15:26] <Pici> user: Is that a question?
[15:26] <user> yes pici
[15:26] <user> how to add downloaded packages in synaptic package manager?
[15:27] <Pici> user: You mean add a .deb file that you downloaded?
[15:27] <user> Pici>yes
[15:28] <Pici> user: You cannot. synaptic/apt doesn't know or care about packages installed via files.  You can use dpkg to manage them.
[15:28] <Abs-out> guys, i installed 11.04 on a pc y'day and updated everything
[15:28] <Abs-out> a few hours ago i had a blackout and after light came back i tried to start ubuntu
[15:28] <Abs-out> and now it throws me to some command prompt upon boot
[15:28] <Gentoo64> pcs fried
[15:28] <Gentoo64> lol
but using package script method how
[15:28] <Gentoo64> Abs-out, it might be just fscking
[15:29] <Gentoo64> or not?
[15:29] <Abs-out> it keeps botting to some command prompt called 'busyBox 1.17'
[15:29] <Jragon> Hi
[15:29] <Abs-out> from the help commands .. i tired init = bootarg
[15:29] <Jragon> Where do the files from Giver go?
[15:29] <Pici> user: I don't understand your question.
[15:30] <Guest79518> Hi
[15:31] <eduardoinsweden> dam... 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 lame
 i mean that see this link     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript
[15:32] <Gentoo64> eduardoinsweden, gparted
[15:32] <Gentoo64> ??
[15:32] <eduardoinsweden> gparted?
[15:32] <jmartin> i try to keep my Windows and Linux boxes seperate.. kills the partition confusion
[15:32] <Gentoo64> eduardoinsweden, gparted is the partition manager
[15:32] <eduardoinsweden> but I am installing, there is not access to no partition manager
[15:32] <Abs-out> man
[15:33] <Abs-out> wth is this :|
[15:33] <Abs-out> i moved my brother from win7 to ubuntu
[15:33] <Abs-out> and the first time the pc crashes, ubuntu fails to load
[15:33] <Abs-out> i'm surprised at how durable this os is :|
[15:33] <Gentoo64> eduardoinsweden, with the livecd you should have a gui
[15:33] <jmartin> ubuntu has what the body needs.. minus most
[15:33] <jmartin> PC games
 i mean that see this link     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript
[15:33] <Pici> user: Like I said, I don't know where that option is in Synaptic. You can use the second method listed on that page: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/debs/*.deb
[15:34] <eduardoinsweden> I am using install cd... I want ubuntu installed
[15:34] <ocmsRzr> how do I figure out where to install grub to?
[15:34] <eduardoinsweden> btw, I am installing server
[15:34] <jmartin> it installs by itself
[15:34] <ocmsRzr> if I want ubuntu installed to a usb in a persistent way, can I treat it like a hard drive?
[15:34] <jmartin> i just finished a new server install
[15:34] <hiwk> using 11.04, so far with unity, what would be the prefered way to bind media keys (such as XF86AudioPlay)?
[15:34] <Gentoo64> eduardoinsweden, then you can use fdisk or similar cli
[15:34] <Gentoo64> or just boot into a partedmagic livecd
[15:34] <hiwk> I tried to bind that to a "run command" using CCSM, but it doesn't seem to "take", so I think something else is capturing it
[15:34] <Pici> eduardoinsweden: The server installer definitely has a partition editor.
[15:35] <xangua> ocmsRzr: don't expect it to live longer ;)
[15:35] <eduardoinsweden> jmartin: I have a partition, I am not installing on disk, so it is issues
[15:35] <user> pici in synaptic manager    file- add downloaded packages
[15:35] <eduardoinsweden> Pici: Yes it has a partitioin editor, that dont let you partition a partition, that is the problem
[15:35] <ocmsRzr> xangua: what do you mean? I only need it to hold together for a few weeks.  I'm not looking for anything permanent
[15:35] <Abs-out> . /bin/sh init: not found
[15:35] <Abs-out> :(
[15:35] <dmtarmey> splitpaw-mobile ?
[15:35] <eduardoinsweden> I lets you only set partitions properties or partition the "disk"
[15:35] <Pici> eduardoinsweden: Are you trying to resize a partition?
[15:36] <eduardoinsweden> Pici: I am trying to make a partition for swap
[15:36] <zykotick9> eduardoinsweden, just delete the partition YOU created and let Ubuntu auto partition into free space, it'll create the swap and / partitions automatically
[15:36] <Pici> eduardoinsweden: Okay, so partition the disk. You cannot partition an already created partition further.
[15:36] <eduardoinsweden> yes
[15:36] <eduardoinsweden> that is the issue
[15:37] <szal> eduardoinsweden: you can't do that in Windows either
[15:38] <Pici> eduardoinsweden: 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 king
[15:38] <Gentoo64> eduardoinsweden, have you got access to a screen? download the gparted iso its easy http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[15:38] <itilious> is there another tool i can use besides putty to access remote terminal of ubuntu from windows?
[15:38] <eduardoinsweden> Nope, the answer is to delete the partition and Ubuntu install will use the  free space automatically and create both install and swap space
[15:39] <eduardoinsweden> just like zykotick9 said, THANKS... sorry caps
[15:39] <Gentoo64> itilious, i think putty is the most common
[15:39] <Gentoo64> eduardoinsweden, ofc you can do that...
[15:39] <ocmsRzr> can anyone suggest a minimal linux distribution that I can run of a persistent pendrive? I would prefer an ubuntu derivative
[15:39] <eduardoinsweden> that was my question
[15:39] <polygon-pusher> trying to figure out where there is a http server running on my ubutnu, I know I installed apache2 and I have run /etc/init.d/apache2 stop but when I got to localhost there still is a it works page
[15:39] <eduardoinsweden> thanks guys all of you
[15:40] <Pici> polygon-pusher: By default that gets served out of /var/www Check the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ for your enabled site's configurations.
[15:40] <ramroManche> hi, 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 os the same package it says 32 bit version already installed.
[15:41] <polygon-pusher> Pici correct but from what I can tell I stopped the http server so it should not be loading
[15:41] <gdoteof> Anyone 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-pusher> that means I still have another server running some where
[15:41] <polygon-pusher> what can I do to find it
[15:41] <jrib> polygon-pusher: make sure it's not just your browser's cache
[15:41] <gdoteof> So 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] <ramroManche> hi, 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-pusher> did already
[15:41] <Pici> polygon-pusher: Ah, sorry I missed that.  sudo netstat -tanp | grep ":80" should show you what is listening on port 80
[15:41] <demonspork> polygon-pusher, assuming you are doing "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop", check with netstat to see if anything is binding to port 80
[15:42] <polygon-pusher> Thanks you
[15:42] <DrkCodeman> is there a way to install wubi on gpt?
[15:42] <zertyui> hello there
[15:42] <razer> Anyone know of a way to make windows fit into a 1024x600 Netbook display? Some windows dont fit an I cant see the next button.
[15:42] <DrkCodeman> i dont think i can install grub2 if the os is yet to be installed
[15:42] <zertyui> how to copy paste ?
[15:43] <mkmp> gday fellows
[15:43] <Polah> DrkCodeman: You can, as long as you move /boot and replace it after installing. Installing Ubuntu should install grub as well anyway
[15:43] <mkmp> someone can help me with a FLV question?
[15:43] <datruth> hey kubuntu made for kde?
[15:43] <Polah> datruth: Yes, Kubuntu has KDE instead of GNOME
[15:43] <polygon-pusher> show it shows that apach2 is still bound to 80 even though i have ran /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[15:43] <zykotick9> razer, hold down ALT then click-n-drag the window(s)
[15:43] <polygon-pusher> so*
[15:44] <xangua> !info maximus | tried it razer ¿
[15:44] <zykotick9> razer, FYI maximus won't help
[15:45] <mkmp> hi folks
[15:45] <Polah> polygon-pusher, do sudo service apache2 stop
[15:45] <xangua> ok ;)
[15:45] <eduardoinsweden> what is this? "Please insert the disk labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 11.04 ......' and press enter?
[15:45] <mkmp> someone knows how to fix in ubuntu flv file?
[15:45] <eduardoinsweden> I am installing with server installer, how can this be asked?
[15:45] <ramroManche> I installed some 32 bit packages with --force-install in 64 bit system, how to remove them now ?
[15:45] <Pici> !details | mkmp
[15:45] <Polah> mkmp: What do you mean fix?
[15:45] <polygon-pusher> that was it, thanks for the help
[15:45] <qwert666> i`m using oneiric and want to install a package from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/xulrunner-2.0 how do i do that ?
[15:45] <mkmp> the problem is: i downloaded a file FLV about 350MB
[15:46] <datruth> Polah: is worth thaking kde off for gnome or something lighter?
[15:46] <mkmp> so i try to run it on vlc, and it no happens...
[15:46] <mkmp> the sma on avidemux !
[15:46] <mkmp> nothing opens the file
[15:46] <zykotick9> razer, maxium will make smaller windows take up the hole screen, it can't make windows smaller
[15:46] <mkmp> i guess is something scaramblled
[15:47] <razer> zykotick9: Thanks
[15:47] <mkmp> the fact is i cant see the video
[15:47] <polygon-pusher> what runs on post 8020? sudo netstat -tanp | grep ":80" shows that I have a java server running on that port and when I go to localhost:8020 it servers up a 404 page
[15:47] <DrkCodeman> Polah: grub i don't think sees gpt only grub2
[15:47] <zertyui> hello there
[15:47] <Polah> datruth: If you don't want KDE then Ubuntu has GNOME, Xubuntu has Xfce and Lubuntu has LXDE. 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. There are some environments which don't have default releases
[15:47] <mkmp> there are some way to fix it ?
[15:47] <OerHeks> mkmp, download the file again ?
[15:47] <jstoone> Hi guys, I heard in the Ubuntu UK podcast that Ubuntu was looking for people to write the new "Getting Started With 11.04", and I would really like to contribute, but can't really find where I can sign up?
[15:47] <Polah> DrkCodeman: When I say it installs GRUB I do mean it installs Grub2
[15:47] <zertyui> what is the control keys to copy/paste using vi
[15:47] <datruth> Polah: do you use kde or gnome?
[15:48] <datruth> or something else?
[15:48] <zertyui> ????
[15:48] <Polah> datruth, I use GNOME
[15:48] <Pici> !contribute | jstoone is a good place to start
[15:48] <DrkCodeman> so how would i go about moving /root and moving it back?
[15:48] <datruth> I've always stayed away from kde
[15:48] <zykotick9> razer, glad to help.  FYI you should see !pm - use "/msg ubottu pm"
[15:48] <mkmp> OerHeks, affimartive ! the same occurs... i try to download it in a slow speed, but nothing changes
[15:48] <Polah> DrkCodeman: Don't move root, move boot
[15:48] <Pici> jstoone: hrm, that didn't come out how I expected, but you get the point :)
[15:48] <datruth> Polah: so do I just apt-get purge kde* && apt-get install gnome2*?
[15:48] <zertyui> what is the control keys to copy/paste using vi
[15:48] <zertyui> ????
[15:48] <jstoone> Pici: I did, no worries mate ;) thanks!
[15:49] <Polah> datruth: sudo apt-get install gnome, you can leave kde there and just not use it if you like
[15:49] <Pici> zertyui: Its not really on-topic for this channel. Use vimtutor, or ask in #vim
[15:49] <Polah> zertyui: Ctrl+Shift+C/V
[15:49] <Polah> Same commands to copy/paste in a terminal
[15:49] <Pici> zertyui: and vim uses y,x,and p for those sort of things.
[15:50] <DrkCodeman> Polah: right after i install wubi it comes up and says "No root file system defined" so i dont think boot was ever properly installed
[15:50] <zykotick9> Polah, datruth "gnome" will fail on Ubuntu!  Use gnome-desktop-environment instead
[15:50] <Polah> datruth: Oh do that then
[15:50] <mkmp> Polah, some advice about the FLV problem?
[15:50] <eduardoinsweden> Omg, ubuntu server installer fails big time, not it asks me for the Ubuntu disc that I am using on install
[15:50] <blackbinary1085> is there a way to set a screen session as multiuser from the begining ?
[15:50] <Polah> zykotick9: gnome installs gnome-desktop-environment it seems, why does it fail?
[15:50] <zertyui> thanks Pici Polah
[15:51] <Polah> eduardoinsweden, have you checked the integrity of your image and the disk?
[15:51] <datruth> Polah: after gnome is installed do I have to update something else to get it to start up when I boot?
[15:51] <Pici> eduardoinsweden: Its possible that your disc was not burned properly and it is confused.
[15:51] <eduardoinsweden> And I cant go back or continue, it just stucks
[15:51] <zykotick9> Polah, the "gnome" package is from Debian, it'll get most of the way through, then find packages that don't exist and fail
[15:51] <zertyui> and for selection from a to b what is the option ? Pici
[15:51] <Polah> zykotick9: Oh, I see
[15:51] <eduardoinsweden> but how do i quit install if it is froozen? it dont let me go back
[15:51] <Polah> DrkCodeman, if you're using wubi then that doesn't use GRUB. Wubi uses the standard Windows bootloader to boot itself I believe
[15:51] <Pici> zertyui: I can't give you an entire how-to use vim here. Run through vimtutor yourself, it helped me to get started with vim.
[15:52] <SIFTU> eduardoinsweden: push the big power power button on the front.. walk away
[15:52] <eduardoinsweden> lol, thanks
[15:52] <Polah> mkmp: what's the problem with flv?
[15:53] <owner_> Something wrong with ubuntu 11.04? any thing i plugged never worked USB mouse USB camera HARD DRIVE....!!!!!!!???????????/
[15:53] <foobar7> Hey
[15:54] <Polah> owner_, perhaps your USB bus doesn't have appropriate drivers
[15:54] <foobar7> Is it possible to choose between unity and gnome2?
[15:54] <DrkCodeman> Polah i still get this error after installing wubi "No root file system defined" im sure it has to do with the 2TB hard drive and gtp
[15:54] <DrkCodeman> gpt
[15:54] <foobar7> in the latest version of it
[15:54] <Polah> foobar7, on the login screen, there's a dropdown menu at the bottom that says "Ubuntu". If you select "Ubuntu Classic" instead you'll get a gnome2 environment
[15:54] <ocmsRzr> foobar7: last I heard, no, or rather with lots of work maybe. But that was a while ago and I never had any interest in either
[15:55] <aol> Mr. Polah we are here to get solutions to problems. do you have any solutions?
[15:55] <Polah> DrkCodeman, I can't really help you with wubi boot issues. I've never used it or dealt with it
[15:55] <Polah> aol: Depends what the problem is
[15:55] <hiwk> using 11.04, so far with unity, what would be the prefered way to bind media keys (such as XF86AudioPlay)?
[15:55] <hiwk> I tried to bind that to a "run command" using CCSM, but it doesn't seem to "take", so I think something else is capturing it
[15:56] <hiwk> (I'll stop re-posting now)
[15:56] <aol> Polah: My problem is i plugged my wireless mouse didnt work, and my external hard driver didnt appears
[15:56] <Polah> hiwk: I believe Unity still has the Keyboard Shortcuts program, search for that
[15:56] <aol> Polah: how can i get my mouse working and use my external hard drive?
[15:56] <Polah> aol: Plug them in and run lsusb, see if it lists them in there first
[15:58] <aol> Polah: nothing shown up while executed lsusb
[15:58] <hiwk> Polah: thanks, that was blocking it
[15:59] <gmaiarodrigo> Could someone give me a tutorial on how to configure a DHCP server and make the subnet share the internet?
[16:00] <mdgro> If security is the primary concern would it be safer to use "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade." It is my understanding "upgrade" will update to the extent it can without changing dependencies. However, would this mean that it's potentially vulnerable to threats that would be patched with a "dist-upgrade" ?
[16:00] <user> install packages from a folder
[16:00] <IdleOne> !dhcp > gmaiarodrigo
install packages from a folder
[16:01] <Kyle__> Does anyone know how to disable notification for ubuntu-1?
[16:01] <aol> Polah: are u there?
[16:01] <htorque> hi! does anyone know if i can remove identities from pgp keys? i can locally remove them in seahorse, but once i sync with the ubuntu keyring server, the old identity is back.
[16:01] <zykotick9> mdgro, "security" doesn't affect upgrade vs dist-upgrade
[16:02] <battlehands> I installed MATLAB and I cannot find it.  Can I search for the program through termal and execute it?
[16:02] <ryankask> is there any obvious reason why a file zipped using "zip" wouldn't open on windows?
[16:02] <Kyle__> battlehands: Do you know what the binary is named?
[16:03] <Polah> aol: 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 for
 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 upgrade
[16:03] <battlehands> Kyle__, 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 /opt
[16:04] <zykotick9> mdgro, it is more "complete" yes, but both pull from the same repository - the security is the same for all Ubuntu packages
[16:04] <battlehands> just cd /opt?
[16:04] <Kyle__> battlehands: Sure.  Or ls /opt.
[16:04] <jbwiv> anyone know what compiz plugin controls the tendency for all terminal windows (or other app windows) to stick together in Unity? In otherwords, if I have three terminals minimized, and I click on the terminal icon in the unity launcher, all terminals tend to pop up. I don't like that...typically I just want one of them. Hoping this is configurable...
[16:04] <Kyle__> if you cd in, you'll have to ls afterwards, of course.
[16:04] <battlehands> only think in opt is gogle
[16:04] <battlehands> Kyle__, I remember it was something like /usr/local/matlab
[16:04] <Webonaute> hi. I have delete a folder on a share hosted on ubuntu via my windows PC. after I try to create a new folder with same name as deleted folder and it say restricted folder. (I have try to reset the perm over all shared folder, I have try to reboot my ubuntu machine... nothing work
[16:04] <battlehands> Kyle__, or /usr/local/bin/ matlab
[16:05] <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] <aol> Polah: this is what your command gave me http://pastebin.com/S45Zmb1R i have no clue what that means
[16:05] <zykotick9> mdgro, feel free to PM me if you'd like my opinion on security
[16:06] <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] <battlehands> can I search for matlab?
[16:06] <gmaiarodrigo> IdleOne: 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] <Webonaute> how can I delete my ghost folder lol
[16:07] <Kyle__> battlehands: Sure.  find /usr/ -iname "matlab*" -type f
[16:07] <Kyle__> battlehands: That may help you.
[16:08] <SockPants> hi all, i have ubuntu 11.04, what's the easiest way to check if i have a lamp server installed yet and if not install it?
[16:08] <battlehands> can I search for matlab?
[16:08] <battlehands> Kyle__, matlab is not in the directory I thought it was.  Can I search for it in general?
[16:08] <Polah> aol: Apparently that controller is certified. Are you sure it's actually functioning, i.e. try with another OS?
[16:08] <Kyle__> battlehands: That was the find command I gave you.
[16:09] <Kyle__> battlehands: find /usr -iname "matlab*" -type f
[16:09] <Polah> SockPants: Try and install the packages required and if it's already there it won't let you, if not it will.
[16:09] <sebastian> Hello, I am trying to make airmon-ng work in oracle virtualbox but ubuntu does not detect my wifi card, any advice?
[16:09] <IdleOne> gmaiarodrigo: maybe ##networking would be better place to ask
[16:09] <SockPants> Polah: which ones are the standard ?
[16:09] <Kyle__> battlehands: That's find all files (not directories) with names starting with matlab.
[16:09] <Polah> SockPants: Hang on, I gave a bunch out to someone yesterday I'll need to scroll a few miles up
[16:10] <sebastian> clear
[16:10] <battlehands> Kyle__, but isnt that only for things under /usr?
[16:10] <ramroManche> my dpkg -i broke in middle, how can I discard them ?
[16:10] <Kyle__> battlehands: yes.  Pop quiz, how would you change it to search for everything on your system?
[16:10] <lonewulf`> hello #ubuntu, in Update Manager, getting failed to download repository information, check internet connection(note internet connection is operating at 100%) I put details in pastebin link here http://pastebin.com/iYe0EPz9...was just wondering if there is a fix/workaroud for this, thanks very much!!
[16:11] <volga629> in ubuntu available on screen keyboard ubuntu 10.10 ?
[16:11] <aol> Polah: Just this morning i saved all the data form windows 7 to my external HD using the same mouse. after installing ubuntu 11 nothing worked and all my data on the external HD. what should i do uninstall linux and back to the fraking windows i dont want to :s
[16:11] <Polah> SockPants: 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 restart
[16:11] <lonewulf`> Im running natty narwhal 11.04
[16:12] <Polah> Should 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 it
[16:12] <SockPants> Polah: thanks! that should get me at least a lot further.
[16:12] <DrkCodeman> zykotick9: i think the fix is to shrink the volume to allow unpartitioned space that grub can use
[16:12] <zykotick9> DrkCodeman, glad you figured it out.  I'll keep it in mind if i ever get a 2TB drive ;)  thanks.
[16:13] <Polah> SockPants: 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 that
[16:13] <Polah> DrkCodeman: I don't think grub should require unpartitioned space to work
[16:13] <Kyle__> Ugh.  Evolution has actually gone downhill in some ways.
[16:14] <ocmsRzr> can anyone tell me how to make a live-cd with just X11 and a few other packages installed?
[16:14] <Polah> Kyle__: I believe Ubuntu is moving to Thunderbird with 11.10
[16:14] <ubuntu__> hi
[16:14] <Polah> !remaster | ocmsRzr
[16:14] <jjgalvez__> I am trying to launch libreoffice via ssh and nothing is popping up! no error message or anything just nothing happens. Any ideas how to make it work? other programs (firefox) work just fine over ssh
[16:15] <Polah> lonewulf` for that team-xbmc PPA there is no natty downloads available. For Sun Java you'll want to disable that PPA and enable the Canonical partners repo to get Sun Java
[16:15] <Kyle__> Polah: I used to use thunderbird way back when, I moved to evolution because TB was too memory hungry.  Lets hope that part is fixed :)
[16:15] <ubuntu__> i wanna recover my photos and i`m new in xubuntu can u help me plz
[16:16] <zykotick9> ubuntu__, check out photorec which is part of testdisk
[16:16] <ubuntu__> cant get it
[16:16] <lonewulf`> Polah, thank you very much for responding...you have given my enough info, between this info you have provided and google, I should be able to move forward...thanks again
[16:16] <lonewulf`> me*
[16:16] <szal> ubuntu__: can't get what?
[16:16] <DrkCodeman> Polah: you need space available to create /boot
[16:17] <ubuntu__> testdisk
[16:17] <szal> why not?
[16:17] <ubuntu__> ick9> ubuntu__, check out photorec which is part of testdisk
[16:17] <DrkCodeman> testing my theory now brb
[16:17] <Polah> DrkCodeman: On Wubi? I guess that makes sense since it'd need to load the image before it could access boot if it were in there
[16:17] <szal> ubuntu__: that doesn't answer the question
[16:17] <ubuntu__> ick9> ubuntu__, check out photorec which is part of testdisk
[16:18] <ubuntu__> i`m in iran
[16:18] <ubuntu__> may be server locked for me
[16:18] <szal> and?
[16:19] <ubuntu__> tell me what to do plz
[16:19] <ubuntu__> i`m confused
[16:19] <eduardoinsweden> should I encrypt the homedirectiory, I am installing a server
[16:20] <Polah> eduardoinsweden, what kind of serveR?
[16:20] <eduardoinsweden> ubuntu server, latest
[16:20] <Polah> eduardoinsweden, yeah, but I mean a server for what? A web server?
[16:20] <eduardoinsweden> yes, for web
[16:21] <dmtarmey> hello anyone know how i can find out why my sound card has stopped working?
[16:21] <Polah> eduardoinsweden, if so you can just restrict the apache2 daemon's access outside it's web directory
[16:21] <eduardoinsweden> ok, then no encryption
[16:22] <jbwiv> anyone know what compiz plugin controls the tendency for all terminal windows (or other app windows) to stick together in Unity? In otherwords, if I have three terminals minimized, and I click on the terminal icon in the unity launcher, all terminals tend to pop up. I don't like that...typically I just want one of them. Hoping this is configurable...
[16:22] <jbwiv> or...is there a unity channel in which I should be asking?
[16:22] <ubuntu__> i wanna recover my pics
[16:22] <Polah> eduardoinsweden, you can encrypt it if you want, but unless you plan to be putting sensitive files in there then there's not a huge point, just restrict accesses for FTP/web/SSH
[16:22] <eduardoinsweden> ok, thanks
[16:23] <GortiZ> Hello to everybody! I've a question about iptables NAT and speed slowdown. I've upgrade a server to natty 11.04 and since then the internet connection is become slower. 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] <eduardoinsweden> finally going over to ubuntu, feels greate
[16:23] <GortiZ> any 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/s
[16:23] <dmtarmey> ? problems with sound card stopped working
[16:24] <Polah> GortiZ, are you sure the clients are measuring and Mb and not MB?
[16:24] <GortiZ> Polah: yes, I've done both measurements from speedtest.net so it's not a matter of units of measure
[16:25] <ubuntu__> anybody can help me?
[16:25] <GortiZ> ubuntu__: can you be more specific?
[16:26] <ubuntu__> i`ve just format my HDD and install xubuntu
[16:26] <ubuntu__> now i want to recovery my pic
[16:26] <AzizLight> Hi everybody
[16:27] <dmtarmey> hello?
[16:27] <ubuntu__> and i cant and confusing
[16:27] <DrkCodeman> yeah that was a no go lol gparted doesnt want to see the hard drive
[16:27] <DrkCodeman> the hard drive shows up as unallocated
[16:27] <jjgalvez__> how do I send libreoffice to a different xdisplay?
[16:27] <pessi> ubuntu__: and what you had previously on HDD?
[16:27] <GortiZ> ubuntu__: the pics were on the disk that you has formatted to put on ubuntu?
[16:27] <juril> how can I get asus u30sd hotkeys (ATKD) to work?
[16:28] <AzizLight> I have an ubuntu server in a virtualbox, I am trying to ssh into it and I am getting a connection refused error...can someone help me please?
[16:28] <ubuntu__> yes exactly
[16:28] <GortiZ> @all: any idea on firewall or some test to address the slowdowns?
[16:28] <DrkCodeman> zykotick9: so it issue is with gparted?
[16:28] <jjgalvez__> AzizLight: what type of network are you using for you vbox? NAT?
[16:29] <ubuntu__> i`m done....ubuntu is installed
[16:29] <zykotick9> DrkCodeman, ? - i don't have any 2TB drives, so I haven't personally had to look into it.
[16:29] <DrkCodeman> anyone else having problems with gparted not showing up the partitions correctly on 2TB drives?
[16:30] <ubuntu__> GortiZ: what can i do to get it back?
[16:30] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: well, I have no clue to be honest, but I don't think it's a NAT. I'm connected to a gateway that's all I know. also I realized I have a bigger problem now...
[16:30] <Polah> DrkCodeman, are you still trying with wubi?
[16:30] <GortiZ> ubuntu__: 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 :S
[16:31] <DrkCodeman> Polah: no side by side installation
[16:31] <DrkCodeman> rather than wubi
[16:31] <zertyui> hello there
[16:31] <ubuntu__> GortiZ: which software you suggest?
[16:32] <zertyui> is it possible to save tabs temporarily on firefox ?
[16:32] <Polah> DrkCodeman, Does gparted pick up any partitions?
[16:32] <DrkCodeman> i booted into ubuntu off the cd ran gparted and yeah its not showing any partition info
[16:32] <DrkCodeman> it shows the entire disk free
[16:32] <Polah> DrkCodeman: But partitions should exist? Hmm, did you use dd at any point while trying to install grub?
[16:32] <GortiZ> ubuntu__: sorry I don't remember any of them.. i don't use them so often
[16:33] <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 simplier
[16:33] <DrkCodeman> Polah: i havent installed anything yet i dont want to destroy my partitions and its contents
[16:33] <Polah> DrkCodeman, you were trying to install GRUB earlier weren't you?
[16:34] <DrkCodeman> no i was trying to go through the installation process
[16:34] <DrkCodeman> but again it is dependant on gparted and that didnt see the partitions
[16:34] <ubuntu__> GortiZ: this command is true?: recoverjpeg /media/disk1
[16:34] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: ok thanks, but when I fix the bigger issue the smaller issues might as well be fixed
[16:36] <DrkCodeman> is gpt supported by the kernel by default?
[16:37] <jmartin> what did you guys think of Steve Jobs resigning? im not an apple fan, but thats industry relevant.
[16:37] <tim167> hello, gparted does not see any partitions on my disk, however I can access all of them in nautilus, how do I fix this? thanks
[16:39] <zykotick9> !ot > jmartin
[16:39] <DrkCodeman> tim: im running into the same problem i think we need to get kernel support for gpt
[16:39] <jjgalvez__> jmartin: I am still waiting for the implosion to happen
[16:40] <tim167> DrkCodeman: thanks, but I want to reformat one of my partitions (/dev/sdb5) can I do this without gparted ?
[16:40] <jjgalvez__> How do I make libreoffice work via ssh?
[16:40] <Assassin> I Was installing google chrome, and my computer shut down in the middle... Now I can't access synaptic. Can someone help me remove it?
[16:40] <DrkCodeman> 2TB+?
[16:41] <zykotick9> jjgalvez__, "ssh -X USER@SERVER" then try "libreoffice" assuming you sshing from a linux/unix box running Xorg
[16:41] <ThinkT510> !fixapt | Assassin
[16:41] <jjgalvez__> zykotick9: did that and when I run the libreoffice command nothing pops up, other apps work like firefox
[16:41] <stephelton> for the life of me i cannot get fc-cache to register new fonts. I am placing my font in a correct directory which fc-cache reports that it searches, and the permissions are the same as other fonts that work (root:root and -rw-r--r--). the font is fine; it was scp'ed from a machine in which it worked. i'm using 'sudo fc-cache -f -v' and have tried other variants.
[16:42] <DrkCodeman> tim how big is your hard disk?
[16:42] <tim167> DrkCodeman: 500GB
[16:42] <zykotick9> jjgalvez__, check what the executable name of libreoffice is then (sorry i don't have it installed currently to check)
[16:43] <DrkCodeman> then you shouldnt have any problems
[16:43] <tim167> DrkCodeman: gparted gives a warning: "can't have a partition outside the disk!"
[16:43] <jjgalvez__> zykotick9: thanks I'll double check
[16:43] <eduardoinsweden> what desktop should I use for ubuntu server? I know it becomes slow, but I need just to test some things
[16:43] <Escherial> hello; i'm sure this is a common question, but is there anything like paint.net for ubuntu? the gimp is a bit too complicated for my needs
[16:43] <Escherial> i suppose i could run paint.net via wine, on second thought
[16:43] <eduardoinsweden> can I reboot in terminal mode even if I have a desktop?
[16:43] <AzizLight> I described an issue I am having with virtualbox here: http://bit.ly/nStsyu (server vault link) could someone take a look and help please?
[16:44] <dmtarmey> hello i have a issue my sound has stopped working on my computer ?
[16:44] <zykotick9> AzizLight, unmount the ISO from the VM
[16:45] <dmtarmey> i have tried all i can to get it to work to no avail
[16:45] <DrkCodeman> "By default Redhat Enterprise Linux / CentOS comes with GPT kernel support. However, if you are using Debian or Ubuntu Linux, you need to recompile the kernel. Set CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION to y to compile this feature."
[16:46] <jjgalvez__> where are the default .desktop files unity stored? I think its /usr/share/.... just don't remember the rest
[16:46] <AzizLight> zykotick9: there is no way of doing that, and when I exit the iso installation menu I get a `boot:` prompt
[16:46] <dmtarmey> does anyone know how i can test my sound card
[16:46] <Assassin> @ ThinkT510 It didn't seem to work- sudo apt-get remove still has an error ("E: The package google-chrome-stable needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it")
[16:47] <zykotick9> AzizLight, try asking in #vbox then
[16:47] <ThinkT510> Assassin: why not use chromium?
[16:48] <Assassin> I used chromium after chrome failed to install, but its blocking my access to synoptic
[16:48] <zykotick9> ThinkT510, if you use chromium then you don't get the spying/tracking features ;)
[16:49] <dmtarmey> Hello ?
[16:49] <sarmion> Chrome vs Firefox ?
[16:49] <ThinkT510> Assassin: how did you install chrome?
[16:49] <Assassin> Download, double click the file
[16:50] <zykotick9> Assassin, see if "sudo apt-get -f install" fixes the situation, it might now though
[16:50] <ThinkT510> Assassin: you really should just stick to the repos
[16:50] <zykotick9> s/now/not/
[16:50] <ThinkT510> !packages | Assassin
[16:50] <dmtarmey> hello does anyone know were i can get help on soundcard problem
[16:51] <sarmion> here?
[16:51] <Assassin> I can't get to synaptic
[16:51] <zykotick9> dmtarmey, if you're using Ubuntu, you're in the right place.  Ask the question.
[16:51] <Assassin> because it complains about chrome
[16:51] <jjgalvez__> why doesn't env DISPAY=localhost:10.0 lowriter send lowriter to the correct display?
[16:51] <zykotick9> Assassin, see if "sudo apt-get -f install" FROM A TERMINAL fixes the situation, it might not though
[16:51] <Escherial> er, would anyone happen to know why my laptop flipped out a moment ago? the menu bar disappeared and it looked like it was constantly refreshing the windows. it wouldn't respond to input, so i had to do a hard shutdown :\
[16:51] <JuJuBee> Is there anything  special I need installed to sync an ipod with Rhythmbox?
[16:51] <Escherial> (not particularly important, just curious)
[16:51] <sarmion> reload compiz mybe
[16:52] <Assassin> zykotick9 It doesn't work
[16:53] <zykotick9> Assassin, not surprised.  i though install chrome automatically added the google repo, have you run "sudo apt-get update" before trying "sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable"?
[16:53] <Assassin> Yep
[16:55] <Assassin> should we go to another channel (so we don't see the noise), like #aaaa
[16:55] <Escherial> hmm, so the wine idea didn't work out so well for running paint.net. anyone have a recommendation for an image editor that's a bit easier to use than the gimp?
[16:56] <JuJuBee> I am able to sync my ipod with my laptop using rhythmbox, but not with my desktop. Any ideas? Laptop running 10.10 and desktop running 11.04
[16:56] <GortiZ> sorry, my connection dropped :S
[16:56] <BluesKaj> Assassin, run sudo dpkg --configure -a , then reinstall chrome or chromium ...chromium is better suited for ubuntu media browser plugins
[16:57] <Assassin> still doesn't work
[16:58] <dmtarmey> hello my sound card has stopped working and iv done all i can do to no avail
[16:58] <Donnie_Darko21> hello can anyone help me with my video card driver i cant play some games
[16:59] <jbwiv> anyone know what compiz plugin controls the tendency for all terminal windows (or other app windows) to stick together in Unity? In otherwords, if I have three terminals minimized, and I click on the terminal icon in the unity launcher, all terminals tend to pop up. I don't like that...typically I just want one of them. Hoping this is configurable...
[16:59] <dmtarmey> hi am i asking the wrong question
[16:59] <BluesKaj> dmtarmey, explain what you've done so far
[17:00] <jbwiv> dmtarmey, try killing pulseaudio or logging out/back in
[17:00] <BluesKaj> Donnie_Darko21, which video card ?
[17:00] <Slart> jbwiv: not sure that those things are handled by compiz.. sounds like a unity setting to me.. but I'm just guessing.. I'm not even running unity myself
[17:00] <dmtarmey> i have checked my sound preferences tried putting in  a cd and video
[17:01] <dmtarmey> cheers how do i kill do i have to un install
[17:01] <BluesKaj> which player dmtarmey ?
[17:01] <dmtarmey> banshee
[17:01] <trinimoses> hi all
[17:02] <trinimoses> how can i cehck if Iptables is running ?
[17:02] <Donnie_Darko21> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[17:02] <Slart> trinimoses: sudo iptables -L    in a terminal might be a clue
[17:02] <jbwiv> Slart, ok, thx
[17:03] <BluesKaj> gotta goo..bbl
[17:03] <trinimoses> slart k.. it brings alot of data.. so i can assume it running
[17:03] <zykotick9> Donnie_Darko21, so, what games aren't working with your Intel graphics then?  [intel isn't exactly a gaming vid card BTW]
[17:04] <Slart> trinimoses: yup.. iptables is almost always running.. but with no special rules it won't affect anything
[17:04] <Donnie_Darko21> hmmm heroes of newerth
[17:04] <Slart> trinimoses: but if you get lots of stuff from that command it's both running and probably doing things aswell
[17:04] <zykotick9> Donnie_Darko21, do you get an error message?
[17:04] <Donnie_Darko21> segmantetaion fault
[17:04] <trinimoses> slart i added a new rule months ago.. and the rule stop working yesterday :(
[17:04] <trinimoses> had to doa hard reboot on the server
[17:05] <TBotNik> All: Trying to follow this recovery howto at: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1397909.html but Synaptic will not open.  I know I can manually edit in /etc/apt/sources.list.  Is that my only option?  Also back on liveCD for internet connect, because some download I installed screwed my networking, which is 1.) wlan0 => inet, 2.) eth0 => DHCP server for local LAN.  That app, do not know which installed too many, installed arpa an
[17:05] <Slart> trinimoses: mm.. all iptable rules are flushed when you reboot
[17:05] <Donnie_Darko21> when i press to play game when it loads its freeze and i must reboot
[17:05] <trinimoses> slart crap
[17:05] <trinimoses> slart how can i add a rule that would be permenant
[17:05] <Slart> trinimoses: some of the utilities redo the rules when you boot up.. or you can make a script of your own that runs at boot
[17:05] <zykotick9> Donnie_Darko21, i'll wish you good luck then.  Sorry i don't have any suggestions then.
[17:06] <Slart> trinimoses: there is no way to make a rule permanent.. you'll have to find a way to create the rule every time you boot
[17:06] <TBotNik> All: If re-install of NM does not fix DNS, how do I diagnose what is knocking it out.  Somehow the DNS is now set only on eth0 and not on wlan0, where it must run.
[17:06] <Slart> trinimoses: I think ufw will do it for you.. there might be other scripts/apps as well.. myself I use a boot script that uses iptables-restore and iptables-save
[17:08] <TBotNik> hello?
[17:08] <dmtarmey> hello jbwiv and bluekaj i have un installed pulsaraudio sound server and earcandy what now?
[17:08] <fhenning09> hello lol
[17:09] <Donnie_Darko21> and i got no prepearty drivers are in use by the way
[17:09] <zykotick9> Donnie_Darko21, intel drivers are open source
[17:09] <Donnie_Darko21> aha
[17:09] <craigbass1976> what's the best way these days to run ubuntu as a router (two wired nics)
[17:10] <jmartin> just use untangle
[17:10] <jmartin> or pfsense
[17:10] <BluesKaj> TBotNik, if you run a dns then network manager will reset resolv.conf to it's defaults and ignore the dns settings
[17:10] <splitpaw-mobile> slart make sure in the /etc/network /interfaces the mac address for what eth0 and eth1 are set in ifcfg-eth0 and eth1 using alt F2 and typing gksudo gedit.
[17:10] <Donnie_Darko21> so what should i do to make to work for heroes of newerth i read something and it says the nvidia cards are better for this game
[17:10] <jmartin> its better to have a didicated router
[17:10] <Slart> splitpaw-mobile: huh? was that for me?
[17:11] <jmartin> Blueska
[17:11] <splitpaw-mobile> yupers
[17:11] <craigbass1976> jmartin, as oppsed to a box I'm going to use as a desktop also?
[17:12] <Slart> splitpaw-mobile: as an answer to what? I'm not sure I'm following
[17:12] <BluesKaj> TBotNik, if possibel set the dns IPs in your router , probly using the manual mode ...depends on the router of course
[17:12] <Donnie_Darko21> or something is wrong with the 3d
[17:12] <jmartin> blueska: 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.
[17:13] <splitpaw-mobile>  you mentioned you keep having dhcp attempt  the grab it from the startup
[17:13] <jmartin> blueska: i found that out the hard way.
[17:13] <Maxtronik> hello, how can i start ubuntu
[17:13] <Slart> splitpaw-mobile: nope.. haven't said a word about dhcp
[17:13] <jbwiv> restoring one window in Unity by clicking on the launcher icons tends to restore ALL windows of that particular application. Is there a way to disable this behavior?
[17:13] <ssargennto> Maxtronik, what do you mean?
[17:14] <sven_> blubb
[17:14] <TBotNik> BluesKaj: 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 no
[17:14] <splitpaw-mobile> if you tell it what device and what nic you want for each
[17:14] <Maxtronik> yes.... yesterday i installed ubuntu and now i dont know how i can start it
[17:14] <Slart> splitpaw-mobile: TBotNik asked about dhcp.. perhaps you should address him/her
[17:14] <BluesKaj> jmartin, it's not me with the problem , TBotNik has NM interfering with DNS
[17:14] <ssargennto> Maxtronik, i take it you're on your windows install right now?
[17:15] <Maxtronik> yes
[17:15] <prezident> Hello people, my microphone stop working is there anyway i can get it to work i already tried alsamixer and deleted pulseaudio and still don't work how can i fix this ?
[17:15] <BluesKaj> TBotNik, remove modemmanager as well, it will reset resolv.conf to it's own defaults
[17:15] <ssargennto> Maxtronik, when you reboot your machine you should have the option to boot into windows or into ubuntu
[17:16] <Maxtronik> YEAH it works
[17:16] <Maxtronik> hahahahaha
[17:16] <JuJuBee> trinimoses: 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] <Maxtronik> it was a damm joke
[17:16] <ssargennto> Maxtronik, ahh gotcha :) never know
[17:17] <simion314> hi, 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 apps
[17:18] <BluesKaj> TBotNik, 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 afaik
[17:19] <TBotNik> BluesKaj: 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] <dtkachenko> Hello, All. Anyone now testing the alpha version of ubuntu 11.10 ?
[17:19] <BluesKaj> anyway , gotta goo...BBL
[17:20] <destrier> simion314: you should be able to remaster it, as a minimum
[17:21] <eduardoinsweden> After I installed LAMP and Ubuntu destkop, my screen went black, but hard disk light is blinking?
[17:21] <simion314> destrier: 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 laptop
[17:21] <eduardoinsweden> should I turn it off?
[17:21] <eduardoinsweden> or is it doing something but not sending signals to the screen?
[17:22] <destrier> simion314: 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 USB
[17:23] <trism> dtkachenko: most of the people in #ubuntu+1, probably better to ask your questions there
[17:23] <TBotNik> BluesKaj: I have write up on this, with pix of network, finding it and will forward, will let you understand!
[17:23] <trinimoses> slart .. i added my rule.. and it works.. but i not seeing it when i do iptables -L
[17:23] <simion314> destrier: 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 anymore
[17:23] <zykotick9> destrier, FYI persistentUSB doesn't include programs - just personal file area
[17:24] <trinimoses> the rule i added : # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 8080 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 80
[17:24] <Slart> trinimoses: 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 now
[17:24] <Escherial> to answer my own question about paint programs similar to paint.net: pinta looks very promising, trying it out now
[17:25] <Slart> trinimoses: sorry.. it's    sudo iptables -t NAT -L     lower case t
[17:25] <prezident> does anyone know how to fix ubuntu microphone ?
[17:26] <trinimoses> slart its : iptables -t nat -L
[17:26] <trinimoses> common t and nat
[17:26] <Slart> trinimoses: and lower case   nat   as well... I'm full of mistakes today
[17:26] <Slart> trinimoses: ah.. you got it.. =)
[17:26] <trinimoses> one more question for you all
[17:26] <destrier> oh, persistent USB is (and can only be) used in combination with a live CD, why didn't anybody say? ^^
[17:26] <trinimoses> i had place ym usb drive as a load on boot...
[17:27] <trinimoses> but i am getting a bunch of errors on boot
[17:27] <trinimoses> so i had to skip it
[17:27] <trinimoses> but now i cant get my usb drive to load at all
[17:28] <destrier> so in reply to simion314, you'd have to remaster your live CD
[17:28] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: I just realized that my gateway is set to NAT mode, whatever that means...
[17:29] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: and I am still getting the connection refused error when I try to ssh into the virtual machine
[17:30] <jjgalvez__> AzizLight: your router should be in NAT mode, are you trying to access your vbox from the inside or outside your router
[17:30] <zykotick9> AzizLight, are you connecting to a 10.x.x.x address from the local machine?  Do you know the IP address of the VM?
[17:31] <AzizLight> zykotick9: the ip address of my vm is 10.x.x.x
[17:31] <virunga> Hi
[17:31] <zykotick9> AzizLight, right an are you connecting from the machine hosting that VM?
[17:31] <virunga> how can i see the active socket on port 80?
[17:31] <AzizLight> zykotick9: yes
[17:32] <zykotick9> AzizLight, are you sure you installed openssh-server?
[17:32] <AzizLight> zykotick9: pretty sure, let me check again though
[17:33] <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 server
[17:33] <xunubi> Hi 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] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: how can I do that??
[17:34] <jjgalvez__> from the server try ssh <user>@localhost
[17:34] <zykotick9> jjgalvez__, just "ssh localhost" would work on the local server
[17:35] <destrier> simion314: 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] <jwtiyar> Bogg problem i installed arch i think it deleted my running ubuntu , how to know if did?
[17:36] <zykotick9> simion314, destrier last common probably WON'T work actually, for most things anyways
[17:36] <destrier> zykotick9: elaborate :)
[17:36] <zykotick9> destrier, library requirements would be missing - moving applications location is a HUGE undertaking
[17:36] <ciscoftw> major diff between new/old version of json-rpc??? tut i'm using says to use "svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc" but url is unavailble, reading through the json-rpc wiki, looks like the new install is "bzr checkout http://bzr.json-rpc.org/trunk" ...any way i can still checkout the svn without resolving url?? ...for a specific project, figure the bzr json version wont
[17:36] <ciscoftw> work.
[17:37] <jwtiyar> how to know if my ubuntu hard drive lost ?? if i restart it
[17:37] <glebaron> jnsl_, the folder should be 700.
[17:37] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__, zykotick9: I can ssh from the server indeed
[17:37] <jnsl_> ok
[17:37] <zykotick9> AzizLight, firewall on vm?
[17:38] <Escherial> wow, pinta is pretty awful compared to paint.net, but sadly it's exactly what i need :\
[17:38] <AzizLight> zykotick9: maybe but I don't think so as I didn't install one myself
[17:38] <Escherial> i 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] <Pici> Escherial: I've heard good things about krita, but it too may be too powerful for what you need: http://www.krita.org/
[17:39] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: I didn't, all was done automatically, but I did say that I wasn't behind a proxy, which is the case
[17:39] <zykotick9> AzizLight, 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 localhost
[17:40] <jwtiyar> any body hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEE?
[17:40] <jjgalvez__> AzizLight: or use bridged, which simplifies things because then it looks like any ohter machine on your network
[17:40] <zykotick9> jwtiyar, no, just 1577 bots
[17:40] <splitpaw-mobile> no.
[17:41] <jwtiyar> zykotick9: why i cant get any answer?
[17:41] <jwtiyar> zykotick9: i thought iam not identified
[17:41] <crass> anyone know if a simple c program to test for 64-bit registers (which I assume means I can run 64-bit progams)?
[17:41] <zykotick9> jwtiyar, ? perhaps everyone has the same difficulty I have understanding your question?  Good luck.
[17:42] <splitpaw-mobile> working... christ
[17:42] <hacker9> i heard facebook is going down in september
[17:42] <r3b00tx> hi, can someone tell me how to check last five system start up times?
[17:42] <jwtiyar> how to know if my ubuntu hard has been lost? becuase i installed on vm and i thought it dleted all my hard .
[17:42] <zykotick9> crass, no idea about the c program part - but "uname -m" will tell you if you've got 64bit os installed
[17:42] <jwtiyar> installed archlinux
[17:43] <destrier> zykotick9: 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 pkgs
[17:43] <zykotick9> destrier, you could try, i expect failure.
[17:43] <crass> zykotick9: 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?
[17:44] <splitpaw-mobile> checking logs: sudo grep -i reboot /various/log/messages
[17:44] <r3b00tx> any help ?
[17:44] <zykotick9> crass, reinstall
[17:44] <crass> but I'm curious if the processor can be run in 64-bit mode currently (which is why I want the c program)
[17:44] <jjgalvez__> jwtiyar: your question makes no sense what do you mean lost? did you install a new system over an old system? did you format a drive real or VM?
[17:44] <zykotick9> !ops hacker9
[17:45] <Pici> zykotick9: ?
[17:45] <crass> damn, that sucks, I thought the 32-bit binaries should run in 64-bit compatability mode. So then I'd think I'd just need to change the kernel
[17:45] <zykotick9> Pici, trying DCC stending CTCP PINGs
[17:45] <clarkthehardy910> some 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] <destrier> crass: 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 way
[17:45] <glebaron> r3b00tx, check your /var/log/dmesg files.
[17:45] <clarkthehardy910> in gmail's settings its not even detecting my mic properly
[17:46] <clarkthehardy910> I think in firefox it might be a java or flash problem, because I can get some java media to load correctly
[17:46] <jwtiyar> jjgalvez__: 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] <Pici> hacker9: Don't ping people needlessly. Also keep in mind that #ubuntu is for support only.
[17:46] <clarkthehardy910> anybody know where to begin?
[17:47] <crass> destrier: 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) upgrade
[17:47] <destrier> crass: sounds like you just need to keep your /etc
[17:47] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: if I switch to anything other than NAT in the vm config I don't have an inet anymore...weird
[17:48] <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 distro
[17:48] <jwtiyar> jjgalvez__: i didnt understand , if my lost i cant launch apps isn't it?
[17:49] <hollenjf> hey. i installed UBUNTU and WINDOWS on same drive, dualk booting. Windows rewrote my MBR. how do I boot back into Ubuntu?
[17:49] <r3b00tx> glebaron, 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 fly
[17:49] <zykotick9> !grub | hollenjf
[17:49] <crass> destrier: also, I'd need to reinstall non-standard packages... but maybe that's not to hard to get around
[17:50] <destrier> simion314 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 stick
[17:50] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: yeah I changed it on the fly and I still have the same inet but I can't connect via ssh still
[17:51] <destrier> crass: you really want everything to be 64 bit, so yeah, you have to recompile anything custom that you had
[17:51] <jjgalvez__> jwtiyar: it sounds like your host system is most likely just fine, the VM just reformated your virtual HD
[17:51] <Jimmio> Hey all. What's the fastest network file transfer setup? Samba is slower than molasses.. 47 hours left. 8GB of 91.7 x_x
[17:51] <zykotick9> destrier, i'd highly suggest that the origional poster just install onto a USB rather then trying live+persistent
[17:51] <destrier> zykotick9: that's probably the shortest way to glory, yes - if his bios allows
[17:51] <jwtiyar> jjgalvez__: cool it means my running ubuntu doesnt lost?
[17:51] <crass> destrier: 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] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: I'll be back in 20-ish minutes with a clear head
[17:52] <jjgalvez__> AzizLight: which version of Virtualbox? the OSS one or the one from Oracle? did you install the host drivers?
[17:52] <thechef> To which forum software is an android app provided?
[17:52] <xunubi>  Gah, my mic plays through my speakers! Anyone with experience who might suggest where I'm going wrong? :)
[17:52] <destrier> crass: okay, I'm not an expert on mixed installs, but I'm not sure why you'd want to limit addressable memory if you can avoid doing so
[17:52] <jjgalvez__> jwtiyar: right your ubuntu host is just fine
[17:52] <jwtiyar> jwtiyar: thank u .
[17:53] <Pici> thechef: Is this an Ubuntu question?
[17:53] <AzizLight> jjgalvez__: I think I have the free version of the oracle vm which is the first result on google when you search for virtualbox
[17:53] <hollenjf> ubottu: is there any way I can make a boot cdrom that will load the OS in /dev/sda2 on my hard drive?
[17:54] <hollenjf> is there any way I can make a boot cdrom that will load the OS in /dev/sda2 on my hard drive?
[17:54] <clarkthehardy910> well I can get my mic to work again in gmail, it just took rebooting, but still webcam isn't working...works fine in cheese. Gmail detects the webcam, but it doesn't communicate properly, because it doesnt turn on when I verify settings or initiate a video chat
[17:54] <clarkthehardy910> can someone help me fix this?
[17:54] <clarkthehardy910> please
[17:54] <clarkthehardy910> thanks in advance
[17:54] <hacker9> what is to fix
[17:55] <crass> destrier: 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 start
[17:55] <glebaron> Jimmio, lots of stuff will work. Really depends of the os that you have on the machines that are doing the transfer.
[17:55] <Jimmio> glebaron: Both Ubuntu.
[17:56] <glebaron> Jimmio, rsync over ssh is probably best.
[17:56] <zykotick9> crass, 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 OS
[17:56] <Jimmio> Is there any that doesn't require SSH? Unneeded encryption.. I just want speed.
[17:56] <dmtarmey> hello anyone help me with sound problems pls
[17:56] <zykotick9> Jimmio, NFS?
[17:57] <destrier> crass: your solution makes sense if you're on a very limited connection, so that redownloading all software would be costly, otherwise... I wouldn't do it
[17:57] <glebaron> Jimmio, straight up FTP?
[17:57] <glebaron> +1 NFS
[17:58] <Jimmio> 519KB/sec seems awfully slow..
[17:58] <dmtarmey> help???????
[17:58] <prezident> mic won't push out any output but i can see its working
[17:58] <prezident> is there anyway to fix this ?
[17:58] <zykotick9> glebaron, FTP must Die - it's even a factoid in #debian ;)
[17:58] <prezident> make it give output
[17:58] <crass> zykotick9: why might it not provide what I'd want? (maybe I'd have to re-get 64-bit libs for any 64-bit program that neeed them)
[17:58] <glebaron> zykotik9, whateva
[17:59] <dmtarmey> hello anyone know how to test a sound card????????????????????
[17:59] <zykotick9> crass, you could try it and see.
[17:59] <splitpaw-mobile> get off the 10 mbps switch B-)
[18:00] <lynx____> could someone please unban me
[18:01] <dmtarmey_> hello anyone know how to test sound card as my sound has stopped working
[18:02] <clarkthehardy910> dmtarmey_: yes, go to your terminal and type alsamixer
[18:02] <crass> zykotick9: true, trying to get feedback to limit down time, thanks for the suggestions
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Hey guys, is there a kde client for tomboy notes service? Tomboy seems to be hung up on me using gnome and firefox of which I use neither. Can anyone make any suggestions please

[18:03] <celltech> VirtualBox issues :(
[18:04] <celltech> And their own tutorial/manuals aren't helpping
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> I installed basket but can't quite seem to be able to find how to connect it to the service.
[18:04] <eduardoinsweden> I cant install webmin? I get some error about could not lock /var/lig/dpkg/lock ...
[18:04] <Pici> !webmin | eduardoinsweden
[18:05] <splitpaw-mobile> celltech run the guest additions
[18:05] <celltech> Got'em installed and runnin
[18:05] <celltech> Still not the issue
[18:05] <eduardoinsweden> what else could I use instead of webmin?
[18:05] <eduardoinsweden> I need some simple gui, just to get overview ....
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> eduardoinsweden: read what ubottu said
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> eduardoinsweden: ok factoid has changed. Try ebox
[18:06] <destrier> Jimmio: get a Mac and use target disk mode 'O'
[18:06] <eduardoinsweden> yes, but I just ask now if there is eomthing else
[18:06] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, perhaps you could use gnote and simply place the data directory into an UbuntuOne sync?  Just throwing it out there, I haven't tried it.
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> !ebox
[18:07] <celltech> I use my VBox for my iphone since apple is a nazi and wont make itunes for us. However. I can find the iphone in devices. But when it restarts like it's supposed too. It automatically kicks the phone out. And I have to go back up and re-activate the "device". How can I permanently lock it in active mode
[18:07] <kolix> I want to set up vsftp to upload/download files to my /var/www directory
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: could try. Phone works with it fine :-)
[18:07] <Rainy-day> Hi, how can I set up drag and drop text from browser to copy just text without html tags?
[18:07] <kolix> I've already edited the vsftp.conf file
[18:07] <kolix> I just need to use /var/www/ as the ftp directory and add users/permissions
[18:07] <kolix> can anyone walk me through the steps?
[18:08] <sidd_mak> keyboard response time is too slow while entering password on login. how do i resolve ??
[18:09] <skeg> Hello,
[18:09] <nXqd> skeg= : hello :)
[18:10] <celltech> I really don't want to have to do a full dual boot on this computer. I hate MS but I own an iphone so I have to suffer
[18:10] <nXqd> sidd_mak= : maybe your display driver
[18:10] <skeg> nXqd= Hi
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> celltech: buy a better phone next time ;)
[18:11] <celltech> Like what?
[18:11] <celltech> I refuse to use android
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> celltech: ifuse may help get access to data via usb
[18:11] <skeg> nXqd: I have a question about Gnash plugin for firefox. can you suggest a channel?
[18:11] <celltech> Well it's for upgrading and downgrading and jailbreaking.
[18:11] <StaticPhilly> evening, any ideas why the fps on full screen videos jumps around like a yo yo, gos normal then slows randomy
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> celltech: there are more than 2 phone OSes
[18:12] <celltech> But everytime the phone restarts VBox kicks it out
[18:12] <nXqd> celltech= : have you try this guide  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[18:12] <celltech> Yep and palm sucks ass worse than anything
[18:12] <Pici> !offtopic | ActionParsnip celltech
[18:12] <nXqd> skeg= : #firefox channel is available :)
[18:12] <nXqd> you can go there :)
[18:12] <StaticPhilly> celltech: if android sucks then maybe windows is for you
[18:12] <skeg> Thx
[18:13] <splitpaw-mobile> goto offtopic
[18:13] <nXqd> StaticPhilly= : ...
[18:13] <zykotick9> skeg, why not ask your gnash question here?  (if you use Ubuntu)
[18:13] <celltech> Will this work for 11.04?
[18:13] <celltech> I upgraded and I'm loving it :D
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> celltech: should do
[18:13] <celltech> thank you. giving it a shot now
[18:15] <skeg> zykotick9: Well then here goes - I am using Gnash (and Ubuntu)  but it wont show stock price charts.  not sure why, and I really want to avoid flash
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> Skeg: could try lightspark
[18:16] <skeg> ActionParsnip: Ill give it a try
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Skeg: omgubuntu has a ppa listed, remove gnash first if you intend to try it
[18:16] <zykotick9> skeg, i've been using gnash exclusively for the last couple of months - there are MANY sites that it simply doesn't work with...  I went back to using Adobe Flash the other day :(
[18:16] <nXqd> ActionParsnip= : flash from adobe works fine now. I haven't tried lightspark yet, is it any better ?
[18:17] <eduardoinsweden> I installed ebox, it never asked me for a password, what do I do now?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> Nxqd: not sure. I only know of it. Adobe all the way here. I use what works :-)
[18:18] <skeg> zykotick9: fair enough,
[18:19] <sidd_mak> keyboard response time is too slow while entering password on login. how do i resolve ??
[18:19] <nXqd> ActionParsnip= : yup, when I change to linux. my philo in windows : Find what is the best but now it changes to " find things work with you " :)
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> sidd_mak: is it ok after login?
[18:19] <nXqd> it's a lot more efficient and effective this way
[18:19] <sidd_mak> ActionParsnip : ya
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Nxqd: its fun to try new stuff :-)
[18:22] <sidd_mak> ActionParsnip : any idea ??
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> sidd_mak: what is the output of: lsb_release -c
[18:23] <nXqd> ActionParsnip= : how many year are you into linux ?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> nXqd: 10ish
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> nXqd: you?
[18:24] <shadow98> Can't open /var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{25087F1EED34AE339C0C611076EBECC6}:
[18:25] <razer> After finally setting up ubuntu it seems to have slowed down a bit. Any optimization software or tweaks to make it fast again?
[18:25] <nXqd> 10ish = 10 years ?
[18:25] <Jimmio> razer: You probably got used to its speed.
[18:26] <sidd_mak> ActionParsnip : natty
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Razer: what video chip do you use? How much system ram and what speed cpu please?
[18:26] <jmartin> what is the best method for uninstalling Nvidia drivers for a card upgrade
[18:26] <nXqd> ActionParsnip= : I'm really into linux in 1 year :)
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> nXqd: yeah about 10 years
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> jmartin: use the additional drivers app
[18:27] <eduardoinsweden> I google and google, and I cant find how to setup password for ebox, it did not ask me on install
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> nXqd: gotta start somewhere dude :)
[18:28] <sidd_mak> ActionParsnip : i didn't had this issue before ....  i think after updating natty recently, i got this one ...
[18:28] <zykotick9> eduardoinsweden, from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox "During the installation you will be asked to supply a password for the ebox user"
[18:29] <eduardoinsweden> I was not asked
[18:29] <eduardoinsweden> that is the issue
[18:30] <Pici> eduardoinsweden: try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure ebox
[18:30] <BarkingFish> eduardoinsweden, go to the ebox installation, and you will be able to change the password in there - the default for the install is ebox
[18:30]  * Tekku Boas tardes pessoal :)
[18:30] <BarkingFish> the default address is http://<whatever your server is>/ebox

[18:32] <kolix> i already added the user to -Groot
[18:32] <kolix> read/write
[18:33] <sidd_mak> kolix : for apache ?
[18:33] <kolix> yeah
[18:33] <kolix> vsftp also
[18:33] <sidd_mak> kolix : i think no need
[18:33] <kolix> ftping works great, just cant upload
[18:33] <kolix> "553 could not create file"
[18:34] <kolix> sidd_mak, then what do i need to do?
[18:34] <Kingsy> guys just curious, is there a way of loading the webcam with vncserver on startup?
[18:34] <user82> hi. how can i create a os-x file system on ubuntu(usb stick)
[18:34] <Kingsy> if I boot the pc up to login screen I can log into the vncserver and gnome comes up just fine
[18:34] <user82> need to get a file to one guy..more than 4 gigabytes
[18:34] <Kingsy> however I cant see the webcam it says the device is not loaded.
[18:35] <Kingsy> if I then go to the terminal and actually log in, then log into the vnc server the webcam works... any reason why that would be?
[18:36] <bill_> hello
[18:36] <sidd_mak> kolix : by which user u r accessing
[18:37] <kolix> sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
[18:37] <kolix> what does this mean?
[18:37] <kolix> is www-data:www-data a username and pass?
[18:37] <zykotick9> kolix, changes the ownership (both user and group) to www-data
[18:37] <Herz> yo does anyone have Acer Aspire 5742ZG?`=D hehe
[18:37] <glebaron> kolix, sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www
[18:38] <Herz> I do not have any problems, I d just like to know if the owners of that comp are happy
[18:38] <sidd_mak> kolix : u having issue with ftp  file upload??
[18:38] <zykotick9> glebaron, www-data is the default user for apache?
[18:38] <Herz> as there are so little tube videos etc
[18:38] <Pici> !ot | Herz
[18:38] <Herz> :D
[18:38] <Herz> oh ffs ok
[18:39] <glebaron> oh, right you are.
[18:39] <Herz> I just have no one to ask :l
[18:39] <Pici> Herz: Then you can ask the folks in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:39] <Herz> ty -.- :D
[18:40] <crking> i uses VLC on openbox but it is really ugly and i do not know how to imporve the look
[18:40] <Kingsy> anyone have an idea about my problem? I am sure its just something I need to add to xstartup but I cant find anything on google
[18:40] <user82> gparted did the trick
[18:41] <taime1> how do i change my dns settings in ubuntu?
[18:42] <sidd_mak> taime1 : /etc/resolv.conf
[18:42] <zykotick9> taime1, if you use Network Manager it's going to override anything in resolv.conf i believe
[18:43] <taime1> whats the equivalent to changing the tcpip properties in windows then?
[18:43] <Escherial> anyone have a recommendation for something that can read adobe illustrator files?
[18:43] <nXqd> taime1= : yes, use network manager instead :) but a little knowledge about where it saves is nice :P
[18:43] <taime1> so network manager doesnt save back to etc/resolv.conf?
[18:44] <zykotick9> taime1, it does
 inkscape
[18:45] <aeon-ltd> Escherial: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Illustrator_Artwork
[18:45] <aeon-ltd> Escherial: though not all are gpl licensed
[18:45] <Escherial> ah, thanks; i found inkscape to be pretty crash-happy on windows...hopefully it'll be better on this machine...
[18:45] <sidd_mak> taime1 : it will overwrite resolv.conf
[18:47] <crking> any idea what should I do to update my vlc look. i use openbox and it is so ugly like early linux decade ago
[18:47] <aeon-ltd> crking: get a QT theme
[18:48] <aeon-ltd> crking: there is a theme manager that can 'port' gtk to qt so vlc can inherit some of the theme traits
[18:48] <crking> aeon-ltd:  what is it?
[18:49] <aeon-ltd> crking: QT is the library it uses for it's graphical frontend, it manages theme and color definitions
[18:49] <sidd_mak> use smplayer instead of VLC
[18:49] <crking> aeon-ltd: I didnot get it. how could I do it? i installed qt
[18:51] <Soothsayer> if I'm making a USB bootable, I should have it formatted as FAT right ?
[18:51] <Soothsayer> fat32*
no
[18:51] <jwtiyar> why there is no update to kernel 3 ?
which tool r u using
[18:51] <bashelina> help eith nickserv
[18:52] <JetJagurXP> Question for the network guys.  I have configured an Ubuntu server as a router per http://help.ubuntu.com/community/router.  I guess you would call this a "subnet"?  Is that correct?
[18:52] <Soothsayer> sidd_mak, disk utility to format
[18:52] <Soothsayer> and then I plan to use unetbootin
[18:52] <Pici> bashelina: Please ask in #freenode, not here.
tool itself will format the usb device
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> crking: qtconfig install that, then run it
[18:53] <kolix> Hi guys
[18:53] <kolix> i can't run my php scripts on apache because www-data doesnt have the correct permissions, how do i resolve this?
 kolix: sounds like the file you're trying to include/require isn't allowed to be accessed by www-data, the user account that apache2 runs as
[18:54] <jbwiv> anyone else have problems with the sound applet locking up in Natty? It just appears to be muted and won't respond to user interaction?
[18:54] <jbwiv> and if so...know how to solve it?
[18:55] <Numbertech> does anyone want some cocky cola? its a lovely drink
[18:55] <Numbertech> ii mean coca cola*
[18:55] <Soothsayer> sidd_mak, unetbootin just wouldn';t detect my external.. now it does after formatting. Trying it now
[18:56] <Numbertech> help my ubuntu pc is blowing your cock off ( Exploding after watching a nice pornoxxx)

[19:16] <Night-hacks> i dont have upgrade button in 10.04 for 11.04 -> update-manager -d !?
[19:16] <FarPark> What is the Ram limit with 64bit Ubuntu?
[19:16] <xangua> ssfdre38: maybe with scribus¿
[19:17] <stefano> hello
[19:17] <glebaron> FarPark, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit
[19:18] <TehAndrewRyan> i have a problem with mounting /unmounting devices
[19:18] <TehAndrewRyan> it tells me "only root can mount" and "only root can unmount"
[19:18] <stefano> I just installed kubuntu but every time I change resolution to restart the initial resolution is, how can I fix this?
[19:18] <TehAndrewRyan> though i've been able to mount graphically since i installed it
[19:18] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan: use sudo
[19:18] <TehAndrewRyan> just recently stopped working
[19:19] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan: that's because you're authenticating with gksudo
[19:19] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: yeah but i don't wanna execute a command every time i want to mount a drive
[19:19] <FarPark> Thanks glebaron
[19:19] <JetJagurXP> Night-Hacks, I updated from 10 to 11 and lots of things didn't work right.  After giving up and doing a fresh install of 11 everything is working fine.  You may just want to do a fresh install....
[19:20] <Night-hacks> JetJagurXP: im developing with it, dont want to install everything from start ....
[19:20] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: it started to give me those messages since i installed a "ntfs-manager" software
[19:21] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: i have removed it but it's still the same
[19:21] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: and it happens if i just browse to the drive and try to open it
[19:21] <Soothsayer> Is there really a commendable difference between ext3 and ext4?
[19:22] <Soothsayer> For some reason, installing with ext4 does not work.. so im trying ext3 now
[19:22] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: a pastebin http://pastebin.com/M1PcbzTw
[19:23] <poppler> hello there
[19:24] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan: what are you mounting with?
[19:24] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: new problem: i can't even mount it with  sudo mount /media/Backup
[19:24] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: it tells me that there's no such directory
[19:24] <poppler> I was trying out ubuntu one(By the way Can I ask about that here too?), everything seems fine except I can't access files I publish via the URL it gives me. Anyone else experiencing this? The URL just returns forbidden, you don't have access... blabla
[19:24] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan: there isn't you specify the /devblahblah first then tyhe target as /media
[19:25] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan: /media/Backup
 upgrades never works right
[19:25] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: i've mounted my backup but i can't mount my storage drive (which is the one i need)
[19:25] <JetJagurXP> sidd_mak That's been my experience.
[19:25] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: it still tells me it can't find it
[19:26] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: and i typed /dev/sdb1 and then /media/Files
[19:26] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Filer
[19:26] <Night-hacks> sidd_mak: any idea for upgrading to 11.04 with the least work ? just dont want to lose my 10.04 !
[19:26] <TehAndrewRyan> it's the only drive i can't mount
[19:26] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan: is it plugged in? if so what /dev/ is it? go to /dev find it
[19:27] <ciscoftw> tying/failing to install amd's openCL sdk via ubuntu? using the following commands (http://pastebin.com/r7TqFdA3)
[19:27] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: yes it's obviously plugged in as i see it in the file manager
[19:27] <Faustus2> anyone know how to pair logitech unity devices in ubuntu?
[19:28] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: it says "failed to access mountpoint /media/Files: The file or directory doesn't exist (translated, might not say exactly that in english)
[19:28] <synackfin> how do I set up different static-ips per Wifi access point?
[19:28] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan: unplug and try again
 u need to download packages for 11.04 at least
[19:29] <downs> Why when i try to play games does it disconnect my Internet connection
[19:30] <Night-hacks> sidd_mak: but how ? they are not in repo
[19:30] <Night-hacks> and adding 11.04 to repos is not recommended
[19:30] <Soothsayer> The installer is crashing saying the disk could have errors
[19:30] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: err
[19:30] <Soothsayer> but I just ran a "Check disc for defects" test and it said disk has no errors.
[19:31] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: i restarted and then all of my drives got mounted
[19:31] <downs> Why when i try to play games does it disconnect my Internet connection
[19:31] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: they've never done that before
[19:31] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: still don't have permission to mount/unmount them though (without the sudo command)
mostly  all packages will be there in repo
[19:32] <Night-hacks> sidd_mak: mostly are not
[19:32] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: this was strange as heck, it tells me i'm not the owner of the drives, but "root" is
[19:32] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan_: if they are listed in /etc/fstab that's normal, either that or udev/or even some other app did it
[19:33] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: yes they're all listed there
[19:34] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: though i've somehow lost all permissions for the drives
y not to save a list of installed packages..... then install 11.04 and reinstall all packages with the help of list file
[19:34] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: since ubuntu claims them to be owned by root, and bot by me
[19:34] <ocmsRzr> Hi, is it possible to install directly to a usb treating it as a hard drive?
[19:34] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: not by me*
[19:34] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan_: that's normal, as for ownership i don't know how to do that but that involves a app called 'chown'
[19:35] <Night-hacks> sidd_mak: yeah good idea , synaptec gives the script i think
[19:35] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: is there like a system restore feature in ubuntu? or do i have to reinstall it to make everything factory defaults?

[19:36] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan_: no idea on that one, i'm sory
[19:36] <aeon-ltd> *sorry
[19:36] <jetscreamer> TehAndrewRyan_: if you go the reinstall route, go to #debian and /msg dpkg reinstall
[19:36] <Soothsayer> The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk.
[19:36] <jetscreamer> jsut don't ask aobut ubuntu in there
[19:36] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan_: all you need is ownership back right?
[19:36] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: yes
[19:37] <Soothsayer> Input/output error: 'target/usr/lib/xorg/x11-extra-modules'.
[19:37] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: but when i'm here, i wanna ask something about pulseaudio too
[19:37] <Soothsayer> what exactly do I do in case of such errors?
[19:37] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan_: ok, ask this - 'how would i use chown to gain ownership of external media?'
[19:37] <jetscreamer> TehAndrewRyan_: you can edit fstab and fix that
[19:37] <TehAndrewRyan_> jetscreamer: do you know how?
[19:37] <jetscreamer> the gnome automount stuff, i don't use
[19:38] <jetscreamer> yeah but i lost my notes.... you wanna set the uid and/or gid to a group or user that works for you... me i always set them to 1000, but that's me and the first user created

[19:40] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: how comes i get a 2 second delay in skype? when i talk, the participants won't hear my voice until about 2 seconds after i spoke
[19:40] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: it only happens with pulseaudio, not with ALSA
[19:43] <aeon-ltd> TehAndrewRyan_: no idea, channel might know; for second questions it's always best to ask the channel
[19:44] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: ok, i fixed the permissions for mounting/unmounting drives now with a program called Pysdm
[19:44] <TehAndrewRyan_> aeon-ltd: still have to fix the ownership
[19:45] <TehAndrewRyan_> how comes that i get a 2 sec delay in skype with pulseaudio? my voice isn't heard until 2 seconds after i spoke, and this doesn't happen with ALSA
[19:45] <DrkCodeman> is there a distro of ubuntu with the kernel already compiled to support GPT / EFI?
[19:45] <tomodachi> TehAndrewRyan_: sounds like a performance issue , is there high cpu usage?
[19:45] <TehAndrewRyan_> tomodachi: well, i'm running a gaming desktop
[19:45] <TehAndrewRyan_> tomodachi: and for some reason my laptop doesn't have that latency issue
[19:46] <tomodachi> could be a bad driver for your soundcard
[19:47] <ocmsRzr> how do you properly install grub to a usb?
[19:49] <Death4Life> Question: when I have select text and I hit middle mouse button somewhere else, it "copy-pastes". Now, I don't have a middlemouse button on my laptop but this behavious sometimes happened and I have no idea, why ( probably because i'm hitting the wrong buttons. ) Any suggestions on why or how?
[19:50] <sweetandy> usually hitting both left and right buttons does a middle-click
[19:50] <Death4Life> hmm, that it does indeed, but i'm not doing that, far from
[19:50] <Death4Life> happened while typing :s
[19:52] <T_Ratt> Is there anyway to force su to use the root password instead of the users password?  Is this a configuration option?
[19:52] <sweetandy> sometimes synaptic trackpad support makes using certain finger combinations on the trackpad perform mouse clicks; and often thumbs or parts of that area can hit the trackpad accidentally while typing
[19:52] <damianfrancis> DrkCodeman: what do you mean apple computers use EFI and you can install with the same disk as normal
[19:52] <sweetandy> T_Ratt, You have a root account on your Ubuntu system? That's unusual
[19:53] <Death4Life> sweetandy: that might be it, i'll see if I can find something about this ( or a program to configure it :s )
[19:53]  * _UsUrPeR_ tips his hat
[19:53] <T_Ratt> sweetandy: Indeed, but is it a configurable item?
[19:53] <_UsUrPeR_> hey all. Can someone describe to me how to add a user to a group upon user creation (I want all new users to be added to the audio group when created)
[19:54] <mikesorrenti> hey guys, I'm having odd hanging issues. Basic things like Chromium or even executing a shell script just hang, where can I look to start debugging?
[19:54] <ocmsRzr> Hi all, I want to install ubuntu onto a usb drive.  Not create a start up live cd. I want a commandline install of ubuntu on the usb.  As if the usb was a hard drive. I can't figure out how to do this.  When I do the install works, but when it reboots its just a black screen
[19:54] <sum1nil> what is that guys dmesg | tail
[19:54] <sweetandy> Death4Life, gpointing-device-settings perhaps?
[19:56] <eraggo> graphical issues (again)... Using asus radeon hd 5450 with ati drivers (yeah works... somewhat). Current set-up consists 2 screen (attached to dvi and svga ports of the graphics card)... After entering full screen of any _game_ my another screen "bugs"... after exiting game it won't return as "normal" and X crashes.. give me something to look for... re-installation is out of choices :(
[19:56] <Death4Life> sweetandy: just isntalled it, looking through it but don't see anything directly related to it
[19:57] <sum1nil> UsUrPeR, dmesg will: Even after the system has fully booted, the kernel may occasionally produce further diagnostic messages. 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. When first produced they will be directed to the system console: if the console is in use then these messages may be confused with or quickly overwritten
[19:57] <sum1nil> by the output of user programs.
[19:57] <sum1nil> dmesg | tail gets the last messages.
[19:58] <mikesorrenti> even sudo -v hangs, any ideas anyone?
[19:58] <mikesorrenti> date doesn't...
[20:00] <sum1nil> has anyone tried the example for c#/mono from : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators
[20:00] <sweetandy> ocmsRzr, I found this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/creating-an-ubuntu-live-usb-from-cd/
[20:01] <sweetandy> there are other articles there that might help
[20:02] <ocmsRzr> sweetandy: thanks, but I've been up and down all the guides on how to make a usb live cd.  Even the ones with persistence
[20:03] <sweetandy> hmm
[20:03] <ocmsRzr> I want to install a commandline system to the usb as if it were a hard disk
[20:03] <glebaron> T_Ratt, not understanding why you would want to do that.
[20:03] <ocmsRzr> the alternate cd isn't a live cd and so none of the guides work
[20:03] <aeon-ltd> !persistent | ocmsRzr
[20:04] <ocmsRzr> ok, everything is for installing *from* I need to install *to*
[20:04] <ocmsRzr> I want the usb to behave just like a hard drive
[20:04] <sweetandy> Right
[20:04] <ocmsRzr> I think the only issue that comes up is installing grub
[20:05] <ocmsRzr> is it /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 whats the difference?
[20:05] <ocmsRzr> there is one shady reference to this distinction on the wiki somewhere but it amounts to nothing
[20:05] <genii-around> /dev/sdb is the entire drive, where you want grub on the mbr.
[20:06] <ocmsRzr> I tried both ways and when I reboot it looks like its gonna go and then it goes to a black screen
[20:06] <genii-around> sdb1 sdb2 etc are the partitions
[20:06] <ocmsRzr> like the power lights are on but the screen shuts off
[20:06] <ocmsRzr> genii-around: is this the same case when I'm installing to a usb.  Does the usb have a mbr?
[20:06] <aeon-ltd> ocmsRzr: was this with the graphical install?
[20:06] <sweetandy> I'm going to try something and be back, ocmsRzr
[20:07] <aeon-ltd> ocmsRzr: no inplace of mbr there is grub
[20:07] <m25_> this is a test of a odd irc client, pay it no mind.
[20:08] <zykotick9> ocmsRzr, 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] <ocmsRzr> aeon-ltd: its the alternate install so no
[20:08] <aeon-ltd> m25_: no matter
[20:08] <m25_> test2 in mode2
[20:08] <ocmsRzr> zykotick9: 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 grub2
[20:10] <zykotick9> ocmsRzr, 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 though
[20:11] <ocmsRzr> ok, well I got the laptop sitting here so I'll let it install and check back later when the black screen comes :)
[20:12] <yotna> hello world !
[20:14] <lorhko> hi all. My USB mouse on my laptop with Synaptic touchpad works for a few second after I plug it in, but then the light goes out. If I unplug and plug it back in it works again for a 10 - 30 seconds and then stops. Any clues?
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> lorhko: when it stops, run:  dmesg | tail    see what is output
[20:15] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: i'm actually logged in as root now
[20:15] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: can't change the owner of my NTFS drive
[20:15] <TehAndrewRyan> aeon-ltd: not on any of them actually
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: set the pwner at mount time
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> *owner
[20:15] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: How?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: its an option in the mount command
[20:16] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: so, how to i use it?
[20:16] <glaucous> What's the name of the gnome autostart application manager (or whatever it is called), so that I can start it from terminal (with gui)?
[20:16] <zerosum> gconf=editor?
[20:17] <zerosum> opps gconf-editor?
[20:17] <trism> glaucous: gnome-session-properties
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> glaucous: gnome-session something
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> glaucous: if you put .desktop files in ~/.configure/autostart  it wil run at login
[20:17] <shadow98> anybody have an experience with getting freenx running on ubuntu lucid at on amazon ec2
[20:17] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: hm, i remounted the drive and now i'm the owner of it
[20:17] <glaucous> trism: Indeed, thanks
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> glaucous: that's all that app does
[20:17] <andrewh192> so if i installed something that was through its own installer, and i didn't want it anymore, and it didn't show up as a package on the ubuntu software center, how would i go about deleting it from the computer?
[20:18] <glaucous> ActionParsnip: Oh right
[20:18] <shadow98> just just installed latest amd64 lucid desktop from testing today...
[20:18] <shadow98> followed the freenx install on ubuntu guide..
[20:18] <andrewh192> do i have to go find all the files it installed and manually delete each file associated with the program?
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: what was the 'something'?
[20:18] <shadow98> session startup failed
[20:18] <kolix> Hi
[20:19] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: its called BlueGriffon
[20:19] <Arnold> Hello. Is there a way on 'suspending' Unity (Compiz) compositing temporarily, and then re-enabling it afterwards?
[20:19] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: there was an two options when i went to download it.. a tar file and a self exectuable
[20:20] <andrewh192> i ended up just installing it though the self executable
[20:20] <andrewh192> now i don't know how to uninstall it
[20:20] <TehAndrewRyan_> can anyone tell me if ubuntu 11.04 is stable now? last time i tried it it was buggy as heck
[20:20] <TehAndrewRyan_> and also should i upgrade to it from 10.10?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: is your OS 32bit?
[20:20] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: yeah...
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: yes, it has been since april#
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan:  is maverick running ok for you
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: there is a deb which you can install, you can then remove the deb
[20:21] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: yeah it's running pretty good, but i've had a lot of trouble with NTFS volumes here, didn't have in 10.04
[20:21] <guntbert> !classic | Arnold is that what you want?
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan_: i'd just hang until Oneiric is released then install that, you can upgrade to natty if you want
[20:22] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: well, how do i uninstall the version i already have?
[20:22] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: I'm pretty much using ubuntu to run a minecraft server, and some general stuff as well
[20:22] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: or do i need to install the deb version and when i uninstall that deb version it will uninstall the other version as well
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: install the deb and the files will be overwritten with the same files from the deb, when you then remove the deb the files will be hauled out too
[20:22] <bbbbbbbb> my laptop bios gives me a temperature warning at every startup. this has something to do with ubuntu's way of shutting down, since i don't have actual temperature issues and i don't have the same problem with win7
[20:22] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: Is there any performance boost in 11.04 compared to 10.10? (maverick is by far the fastest one so far imho)
[20:22] <andrewh192> gotcha
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan_: depends on config and hardware, there is no single answer there. Too many variables
[20:23] <Arnold> guntbert, before Unity became the default shell, it was possible to switch between Metacity and Compiz with metacity --replace or compiz --replace
[20:23] <andrewh192> so i should be able to find the deb version on unbuntu's software center, yeah?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: I suggest you stick to deb files as much as you can
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/bluegriffon-new-wysiwyg-editor-which.html
[20:23] <Arnold> ubottu, I am aware of that, however in Oneiric, it's between Unity and Unity2D now..
[20:23] <Arnold> Darn, fell for it. :P
[20:23] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: well, i'm running on a pretty high-end gaming desktop, quad core and 8 gb's of ram
[20:24] <guntbert> Arnold: no further idea, sorry
[20:25] <Arnold> If only there would be a much easier way to change between shells (or turning off compositing) without relogging in, since then softwares have to be restarted
[20:25] <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 all
[20:25] <Arnold> However, if I start it in another X session, will the performance used by Unity affect the second X session too?
[20:25] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: plus the boot time was a couple of seconds more than with maverick
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan_: a couple of seconds...that's pretty insignificant
[20:26] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: yes, maverick boots in about 4-5 seconds from the GRUB menu on my comp
[20:26] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: 11.04 maybe in 8-10 seconds
[20:26] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: it isn't a lot, but it's slower
[20:27] <coraxx> ActionParsnip: Hello there ...r u ready for today's challenge ? :-)
[20:27] <asdokadsosda> hello
[20:28] <TehAndrewRyan_> ActionParsnip: i got it pretty much directly after release, i expected some patches to be released, which is why i returned to maverick
[20:28] <zerosum> ActionParsnip: Couldn't andewwh192 use 'sudo make uninstall' to remove software from the  source folder?
[20:28] <adlin5000> Having some trouble booting up my system getting "plymouth main process (319) terminated with status 127" and "failed to spawn mountall main process: unable to execute: no such file or directory" and "failed to spawn mountall post-stop process: unable to exexute: no such file or directory" this comes up after the boot menu. its 11.04 64bit. Can boot into my 11.04 32bit just fine. Ran a smart disk check through disc utility
[20:28] <adlin5000>  on a live cd, all OK. Sorry for the long post.
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> zerosum: depends how its installed, the deb will be a cleaner way to remove it
[20:29] <zerosum> o i c
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> adlin5000: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[20:30] <Brutus99> Hi
[20:30] <zerosum> hi Brutus99
[20:30] <peturi> Hi, I need to get rid of NSOpenPanel as soon as Ive hit the OK button. ATM it will hang till the work done inside the if is finished. http://pastebin.com/2RNgkK99 What am i doing wrong?
[20:30] <Brutus99> How do i access to Compiz Settings Manager from ubuntu 11.04?
[20:31] <Brutus99> Thanks
[20:31] <nicofs> How can I restart sound (alsa)? "service alsa restart" and "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" don't work...
[20:31] <xangua> !compiz | Brutus99
[20:31] <xangua> !ccsm
[20:31] <zerosum> have you tried ubuntu tweak? that may not be the offical answer lol
[20:32] <Osmond> Is Unity incompatible with Radeon video cards? When I boot up in the Unity desktop I get the logon screen, then when I log in I get just a splash screen with nothing.  I removed compiz-core and restarted, when I logged in that time I got the splash screen, but that time I got a notification box telling me there were available internet connections but I still get no task bars or anything.
[20:32] <Brutus99> xangua, thanks
[20:32] <dr_willis> Osmond,  why did you get the idea to remove compiz-core?
[20:32] <zerosum> I am using radeon 3200 on a laptop
[20:32] <andrewh192> ok, so none of the files on the thing are deb versions... or at least they don't have the .deb extension at the end of the file
[20:32] <Osmond> found it on a message board saying that could be the problem
[20:33] <dr_willis> Osmond,  whats the exact video card? unity needs 3d acell features to work properly. Unless you use unity-2d
[20:33] <Osmond> I also get the same thing even in classic ubuntu when I have compiz installed
[20:33] <lwizardl> hello
[20:33] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: so none of the files on the available list have the .deb extension
[20:33] <asdokadsosda> hello again
[20:34] <lwizardl> I was wondering if there was any good network scanner tools
[20:34] <asdokadsosda> why I can't kill wpa_supplicant when wireless is down nm-applet killed, network-manager down etc?
[20:34] <Osmond> How can I check my video card in ubuntu? I know its a Radeon HD, but not the exact number
[20:34] <asdokadsosda> its pissing me off!
[20:34] <asdokadsosda> Osmond: lspci
[20:34] <asdokadsosda> (im using ubuntu natty 64bit)
[20:35] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: i am a little confused i guess as to which file to actually download....
[20:35] <zerosum> lwizrdl: have you looked at: http://www.snort.org/
[20:35] <Osmond> Its a Mobility Radeon HD 4200
[20:36] <dr_willis> Osmond,  you did run the addational-drivers tool and see if you could install the fglrx drivers?
[20:36] <KingFisher> Hi.  How can I get a bashscript to automatically run when my computer boots up?
[20:36] <__import__> herro everybody
[20:36] <Osmond> I got a notification from the additional-drivers tool telling me to activate a different driver, and I did
[20:36] <dr_willis> KingFisher,  depends on what its doing.. you could start it from /etc/rc.local
[20:37] <zerosum> hi
[20:37] <Osmond> still nothing
[20:37] <nicofs> How can I restart sound (alsa)? "service alsa restart" and "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" don't work...
[20:37] <ocmsRzr> hi, so the install is done, now do I install grub to /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1?
[20:37] <whallz> hi, i have a question, i have installed teamspeak-server
[20:38] <whallz> but i cannot connect
[20:38] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  normally it would be sdb
[20:38] <whallz> the server process is running
[20:38] <Mark___> Hello everyone !
[20:38] <ocmsRzr> dr_willis: I'm installing to a usb does that change anything?
[20:38] <whallz> what am i missing?
[20:38] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  if your usb disk is sdb.. then it would be sdb...
[20:38] <coraxx> ok...is n e body up for a Ubuntu challenge with an nVidia graphics adapter ?
[20:39] <zerosum> nicofs: did you try sudo with that?
[20:39] <asdokadsosda> why I can't kill wpa_supplicant when wireless is down nm-applet killed, network-manager down etc?
[20:39] <asdokadsosda> bug?
[20:39] <Mark___> How can we vote (when the time arrives) for the upcoming name of an Ubuntu release ?
[20:39] <nicofs> zerosum, yes
[20:39] <dr_willis> Mark___,  its not voted on at all that ive ever seen...
[20:39] <chris215> hi
[20:40] <Mark___> Oh ok, thanks ! :D
[20:40] <chris215> may i have an invite to #ubuntu-help  ?
[20:40] <dr_willis> Our Dictator decides  :)
[20:40] <Mark___> Haha
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: did you download and extract the tar.gz file?
[20:40] <Mark___> I've seen Radiant Robin for 12.04 and really dig it
[20:40] <dr_willis> chris215,  you have a registered nick?  its most likely Not invite only. but reged nick reqwuired.
[20:40] <chris215> i would like to try to start giving back to the communities that have helped me thus far
[20:40] <chris215> im registered
[20:41] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: wasn't sure which one to download
[20:41] <chris215> maybe i have to log out and back in tho
[20:41] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: the tar.gz one is the deb file?
[20:41] <chris215> because i just changed it from another one that i didnt like anymore
[20:41] <dr_willis> chris215,  you did identify to nickserv?
[20:41] <ocmsRzr> zykotick9: the install is done, I'm booting into the rescue system and will chroot to my usb.  How do I change grub to target /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb
[20:41] <coraxx> Mark___: shouldn't it be with a 'P' ...like i.e Perky Pussycat ...next one is with 'O'
[20:41] <chris215> yes, and i opened the email and copied and pasted the /msg into the freenode tab
[20:41] <Osmond> I dont think the fglrx driver is active, how do I change the driver I am using to fglrx?
[20:42] <Mark___> Oh right ! It's 13.04, my bad :P
[20:42] <chris215> and was told that i was now completely registered and thanked and asked for money
[20:42] <felipe__> hi I'm using ubuntu 11.04, and my usb (external) webcam works in Cheese but not Skype
[20:42] <BarkingFish> I'd probably go with Organic Ostrich
[20:42] <chris215> i will identify right now
[20:42] <felipe__> the usual LD_PRELOAD recommendation doesn't help... any ideas?
[20:42] <coraxx> Mark___: no worries :-) ...do you have a link to the names ...just curious
[20:43] <chris215> thats weird...  it still says:  [INFO]	This channel is invite-only. You must have an invite from an existing member of the channel to join.
[20:43] <asdokadsosda> .
[20:43] <ocmsRzr> is the UUID in fstab better than /dev/sdxy?
[20:43] <Mark___> coraxx: Here you go https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames
[20:43] <coraxx> Mark___: thx :-)
[20:44] <Mark___> How do you replay like that ?
[20:44] <adlin5000> Having some trouble booting up my system getting "plymouth main process (319) terminated with status 127" and "failed to spawn mountall main process: unable to execute: no such file or directory" and "failed to spawn mountall post-stop process: unable to exexute: no such file or directory" this comes up after the boot menu. its 11.04 64bit. Can boot into my 11.04 32bit just fine.
[20:44] <Mark___> reply *
[20:44] <chris215> i have a quick question while i am here...  is there a good fix for the gnome panel applet bug?  i forget the exact name of the applet because i am in fedora right now but its the appmenu one
[20:44] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  normally uuid works better.
[20:44] <chris215> it wont work right now in linuxmint 11...  it will on the liveusb but nott in the hd install
[20:45] <chris215> dr_willis:  i agree lucid is better
[20:45] <chris215> dr_willis:  i have been using mint 11 lately though
[20:45] <chris215> so as to be more up to date without having to use ubuntu 11
[20:45] <chris215> i still love ubuntu
[20:45] <dr_willis> chris215,  Lucid? he asked about UUID. :)
[20:45] <chris215> oooo   sorry
[20:45] <ocmsRzr> fdisk -l shows two drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. /dev/sdb is my target usb drive and /dev/sda is my install drive
[20:46] <chris215> dr_willis:  you have helped me a bunch in the past
[20:46] <chris215> when i was new to linux, on ubuntu 9.10 karmic
[20:46] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  you put grub on the hd you plan on booting.. If you Installed to SDB. and want to boot the SDB> then grub should go on SDB. :)
[20:46] <zerosum> nicofs: try to shut it down first eg. sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
[20:46] <ocmsRzr> when I pull that drive, /dev/sdb will become /dev/sda
[20:46] <chris215> i forget the nick i used but you were very helpful and thanks
[20:46] <ocmsRzr> will grub figure that out?
[20:46] <jwtiyar> how to exit in nano editor?
[20:46] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  it should.
[20:47] <zerosum> and then sudo alsa force-reload
[20:47] <dr_willis> jwheare,  commands at the bottom.. ^ = ctrl key.. ie   ^o = ctrl-o
[20:47] <zerosum> and start it back up. Just a suggestion.
[20:47] <nicofs> zerosum, that doesn't exist. there is alsa-store and alsa-restore
[20:47] <dr_willis> jwtiyar, ,  commands at the bottom.. ^ = ctrl key.. ie   ^o = ctrl-o
[20:47] <coraxx> Mark___: were you talking to me ?
[20:48] <Mark___> Yes
[20:48] <ocmsRzr> ok, it booted, bios picked the usb, and then there was a flashing _. then the screen flashed and was on but black. After 30s, the screen shuts off but the power lights remain on.  Nothing is happening
[20:48] <ocmsRzr> grub never came up
[20:48] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  and your video card/chipset is?
[20:48] <ocmsRzr> if I boot to the live cd and chroot into /dev/sdb1 it looks like the install workd perfectly
[20:48] <Soothsayer> What should I be using to share a directory in Ubuntu with windows  with read/write access?
[20:48] <coraxx> Mark___: ah ok ... if you put the name of who you are chatting with in the beginning of the sentence, it will show as highlighted at the recipient
[20:49] <ocmsRzr> its an ati hd something mobile, lemme consult google
[20:49] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g | Soothsayer
[20:49] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  or you mean a network share?
[20:49] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, over the network, ye :)
[20:49] <coraxx> Mark___: and please do so ...otherwise we can't see who you are asking :-)
[20:49] <dr_willis> !samba | Soothsayer
[20:49] <ocmsRzr> dr_willis: ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 (RS485)
[20:49] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  ubuntu has the right click, share... feature...
[20:50] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  you may need to install the fglrx drivers. i rarely use ati. but ive done usb installs to usb hd's befor.
[20:50] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | ocmsRzr
[20:50] <kolix> Hi guys
[20:50] <BrianOfTacoma> I have connected to a Samba network folder on another computer.  How do I copy files to it from the command line?  addressing it as smb://myserver/myfiles doesn't work
[20:50] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  if ubuntu is theonly os.. then grub will auto-hide.
[20:50] <MarkGreenwood> coraxx: Like this ?
[20:51] <dr_willis> BrianOfTacoma,  depends on how you connected. It may be located in the .gvfs directory.
[20:51] <coraxx> dr_willis: help me out doc, plz :-)  ...I have a simple problem (with hopefully a simple solution) ...here goes...
[20:51] <BrianOfTacoma> hmm i'll check ... thakns
[20:51] <coraxx> MarkGreenwood: yup, just like that :-)
[20:51] <dr_willis> BrianOfTacoma,  smb:// is file manager feature.. not a shell/bash feature.
[20:51] <ocmsRzr> dr_willis: oh, so I chroot into /dev/sdb1 and set nomodeset in the grub config?
[20:51] <BrianOfTacoma> how do I find the shell/bash address?  I connected to it through Nautilus's "Connect to Server"
[20:52] <coraxx> dr_willis: I would like to rotate one monitor in TwinView mode ...in Ubuntu ...on a nVidia-card ...how do I do that ?
[20:52] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, oo.. never new about the right click share.. trying it. Basically, me and my friend want to code on a project together and he's on a windows laptop next to me. Is this the best tool for the job?
[20:52] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  you hit space or shift or escape or whatever key is is now.... and hopefully grub shows up. nd you can enter the nomodeset option at the end of the boot line. and get some text booting messages.
[20:52] <BrianOfTacoma> It's not in the .gvfs directory
[20:52] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, when would I need samba instead?
[20:52] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  you could always use ssh and winscp.
[20:53] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  windows -> linux 'share' needs samba yes.. it should auto-install it when you make a share.
[20:53] <dr_willis> linux -> windows   - nautilus can browse to the windows share without samba installed.
[20:54] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, sorry, got disconnected
[20:54] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  windows -> linux 'share' needs samba yes.. it should auto-install it when you make a share.
[20:54] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, superb, it just did everything automagically. worked :)
[20:54] <jorgerosa> hello all
[20:55] <dr_willis> main samba issue ive seen lately is Nautiuls not browseing the network/showing the shares that exist.
[20:55] <asdokadsosda> hi
[20:55] <asdokadsosda> (im using ubuntu natty 64bit)
[20:55] <asdokadsosda> why I can't kill wpa_supplicant when wireless is down nm-applet killed, network-manager down etc?
[20:56] <ocmsRzr> dr_willis: space worked... it says Booting command error, unknown command nomodeset or something to that effect
[20:56] <jwtiyar> dr_willis: ctrl+x doesnt work its X+ctrl ,!!!
[20:56] <ocmsRzr> sorry had the wrong line. I figured it out
[20:56] <dr_willis> ocmsRzr,  read that nomodeset url i gave... you add nodeset to the end of one of the boot lines...
[20:56] <HeGuru> asdokadsosda: wpa_supplicant runs as root, did you try sudo kill?
[20:56] <dr_willis> jwtiyar,  you are backwards.. its ctrl-x       :)  if you hit X first.. it would print an X...
[20:57] <asdokadsosda> meganerd: yes
[20:57] <asdokadsosda> but it seems to restart
[20:57] <asdokadsosda> :(
[20:57] <asdokadsosda> HeGuru*
[20:57] <dr_willis> if its a service.. it would restart itself...
[20:58] <BrianOfTacoma> I am still trying to find the bash address of my connected smb share.  I found ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata  ... there seems to be some record of the Samba connection in that folder ... but I don't know how to interpret the bash address
[20:58] <ocmsRzr> dr_willis: it worked! thanks for the help.  Its booting now
[20:58] <raboof> looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables , there is no recommended way to set session-wide environment variables?
[20:58] <jwtiyar> dr_willis: its worked but when i press ctrl+x it doing nothing
[20:58] <asdokadsosda> dr_willis: but im not using nay service related with wpa_supplicant
[20:58] <dr_willis> asdokadsosda,  it could be some service is restarting it.
[20:58] <Osmond> How do I change which video driver I am using in Natty?
[20:58] <asdokadsosda> dr_willis: Yeah, is there a way to know
[20:58] <jwtiyar> dr_willis: awww should caps lock work
[20:59] <asdokadsosda> natty has a lot of new processes that maverick didnt havem it's kinda bloated
[20:59] <jorgerosa> Can 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.  :)
[21:00] <jorgerosa> the project is: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=39695
[21:00] <asdokadsosda> brb
[21:00] <HeGuru> asdokadsosda: usually the ifup/ifdown scripts also start/kill wpa_supplicant
[21:00] <ocmsRzr> jorgerosa: if it builds with gnu make or the like you can use a utility called checkinstall that will generate a  deb from the source
[21:01] <ocmsRzr> basically you build the project normally and then instead of "make install" you use checkinstall
[21:01] <jorgerosa> ocmsRzr: yep, just checked, im using GNU GCC Compiler
[21:02] <dr_willis> step 1 woule be just getting it to build... :) then worry about the rest.
[21:02] <chris215> brb
[21:03] <jorgerosa> ocmsRzr: Ok, ill google for "checkinstall" utility, thanks for the tip :)
[21:05] <coraxx> I would like to rotate one monitor in TwinView mode ...in Ubuntu natty...on a nVidia-card ...how do I do that ?
[21:05] <BrianOfTacoma> There 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] <BrianOfTacoma> How do I discover the bash address of the samba connection?
[21:05] <dr_willis> coraxx,  check the nvidia-settings tool? ive never rotated a monitor.
[21:06] <raboof> coraxx: i'm not sure about TwinView, but I can rotate monitors from 'arandr'
[21:06] <raboof> coraxx: i'm using the free 'nouveau' drivers though, so perhaps that's different
[21:06] <coraxx> dr_willis: oh I've been in the nVidia settings tool ....and also fiddling with xorg.conf
[21:06] <eraggo> BrianOfTacoma: what do you want to do? do you want use your files from console? :)
[21:07] <ocmsRzr> sorry to keep bothering, the machine is booting now, but its stuck at *Starting AppArmor Profiles [ OK ]
[21:07] <BrianOfTacoma> yes I want to write a bash script to copy files to the attached samba share folder
[21:07] <ocmsRzr> its been sitting in the same state for at least 5min
[21:08] <coraxx> raboof: 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] <eraggo> BrianOfTacoma: check out ~/.gfvs/ :) remember to being connected (or "mounted") to network drvie
[21:08] <eraggo> drive*
[21:08] <BrianOfTacoma> it's empty
[21:08] <BrianOfTacoma> and I am connected
[21:08] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, what if I want to access a folder shared by windows ?
[21:08] <BrianOfTacoma> but in .local/share/gvfs-metadata there are alot of files that reference the samba share by name
[21:08] <Soothsayer> and mount it to some directory on my ubuntu
[21:08] <BrianOfTacoma> yet I can't read them
[21:08] <raboof> coraxx: i actually really did mean arandr, it's a nice xrandr frontend.
[21:09] <eraggo> BrianOfTacoma: so you have icon on ubuntu desktop to browse network drive files?
[21:09] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  nautilus is supposed to be able to do that by itself.
[21:09] <BrianOfTacoma> yes
[21:09] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, where do I access the shared folders from ?
[21:09] <dr_willis> BrianOfTacoma,  you could just mount the share by hand whever you want..
[21:09] <coraxx> raboof: OIC ...nice, I will check it out right now
[21:10] <raboof> coraxx: 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 driver
[21:10] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  BrianOfTacoma  is asking the same thing,. :) i always see them appear in .gvfs  or you mount them by hand whever you want
[21:10] <dr_willis> Silly Nautilus should put them in someplace obvious like 'Network' :P
[21:10] <dr_willis> but gvfs handles more then just samba shares
[21:11] <eraggo> BrianOfTacoma: o.O if i have "mounted" drive over SSH by using locations->'connect to server' option i have something at gcfs..
[21:11] <eraggo> gvfs*
[21:11] <eraggo> nor similar
[21:11] <BrianOfTacoma> maybe I should unmount it through Nautilus.  That is how I had mounted them
[21:11] <BrianOfTacoma> how do I mount a samba share through bash then?
[21:12] <jmartin> if 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 ssh
[21:12] <HeGuru> BrianOfTacoma: mount -t cifs //server/share /mountpoint
[21:12] <coraxx> raboof: the 2nd display is "built-in" --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r0ZlmLBCjQ
[21:13] <HeGuru> BrianOfTacoma: you need to add -o username=<your username> if your windows username is not the same as your Ubuntu username
[21:14] <coraxx> raboof: 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] <decio> Can someone help me with Fedora, I can't access their channel
[21:14] <decio> ?
[21:14] <BrianOfTacoma> great thank you
[21:14] <coraxx> raboof: but its like the second device misinterpretes or ignores the option.
[21:15] <ballo> hello. Got an odd problem...I get a "Could not resolve" error with apt-get update but I can ping the hosts just fine
[21:15] <HeGuru> ballo: try to use a different repository mirror (software sources, mirror location)
[21:15] <ballo> apt-get doesn't even try to resolve the hosts, it seems
[21:15] <decio> can you guys PLEASE help me out?
[21:16] <ballo> I get no internet traffic when I run it
[21:16] <andygraybeal> some reason, my ubuntu 10.04 isn't picking up the correct DHCP address automatically - after i do a 'sudo dhclient' it works, but then the lease expires and doesn't renew properly; what should i do?
[21:16] <ballo> HeGuru, it doesn't even attempt to resolve them
[21:16] <HeGuru> decio: try ##linux for general linux support for any distro
[21:16] <coraxx> raboof: its like it considers the two screen as just one monitor...weird
[21:16] <ballo> I tun tcpdump and nothing
[21:16] <BrianOfTacoma> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //cox-Aspire-one/MyFiles,
[21:16] <BrianOfTacoma>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[21:16] <BrianOfTacoma>        (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
[21:16] <BrianOfTacoma>        need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
[21:16] <BrianOfTacoma>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[21:16] <BrianOfTacoma>        dmesg | tail  or so
[21:16] <ballo> but I can ping the hosts, I can nslookup the hosts
[21:16] <FloodBot1> BrianOfTacoma: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:17] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, using the 'share' feature.. the windows directory can't write to it
[21:17] <ballo> apt-get is broken :(
[21:17] <BrianOfTacoma> I had thought that would be on 1 line
[21:17] <BrianOfTacoma> My apologies
[21:18] <ciscoftw> why are these openCL installs so different? AMD instructions differ from tut I found, can someone knowledgeable please suggest which route i take... http://pastebin.com/28EsYQ0Z
[21:18] <glebihan> ballo, could you pastebin the complete command+output ?
[21:18] <coraxx> raboof: I gonna logout and in now ...and test arandr ..thx, tc :-)
[21:19] <Soothsayer> Any ftp server which is easy to configure and has a GUI to work with?
[21:19] <ballo> it just outputs "Could not resolve" a hundred times without even attempting to resolve hosts
[21:19] <HeGuru> BrianOfTacoma: you need smbfs package installed
[21:19] <BrianOfTacoma> So HeGuru.  I tried to mount the drive with the command you gave...but I got the error mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //cox-Aspire-one/MyFiles,
[21:19] <BrianOfTacoma>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[21:19] <BrianOfTacoma>        (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might    need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)     In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so
[21:19] <FloodBot1> BrianOfTacoma: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:19] <BrianOfTacoma> ok thank you
[21:20] <ocmsRzr> can anyone tell me how to figure out where my install is hanging
[21:20] <raboof> coraxx: that's pretty neat. I don't remember needing the RandRRotation option - but actually rotation currently doesn't work here (though I blame the windowmanager)
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> ocmsRzr: is it during installation, or is this in an installed OS?
[21:21] <HeGuru> Soothsayer: you can install gadmintools GUI, works with proftpd
[21:21] <ocmsRzr> ActionParsnip: installed os. I installed to a usb drive
[21:21] <BrianOfTacoma> ok ... now it says "could not resolve address for "cox-Aspire-one: No address associated with hostmane"
[21:21] <glebihan> Soothsayer, proftpd may not be that simple to configure but offers a rather good gui (gproftpd)
[21:21] <BrianOfTacoma> so I guess I don't know how to format the server name
[21:21] <BrianOfTacoma> because it's not mounting
[21:21] <HeGuru> BrianOfTacoma: you need smbfs package installed for mount to work, run sudo apt-get install smbfs
[21:22] <BrianOfTacoma> did that
[21:22] <ballo> welp, dis sucks
[21:22] <BrianOfTacoma> THEN I got the error I just mentioned
[21:22] <SIFTU> BrianOfTacoma: thats not a fqdn, can you ping the shortname.. I guess not
[21:23] <HeGuru> BrianOfTacoma: oh ok, you can always try IP, well there is a way to use NMBD to resolve short names, but thats another story
[21:23] <SIFTU> BrianOfTacoma: also does you dns server even contain that entry
[21:23] <decio_> Can you guys help me?
[21:23] <BrianOfTacoma> oh right.  I'll try IP ... one sec
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> ocmsRzr: is the memory and usb storage healthy?
[21:24] <glebihan> decio_, as already said this is not the place for fedora support, but if you cannot get help in the fedora channel you could try ##linux
[21:25] <Kyle__> Oooh, score one for firefox.  Found a vnc-console applet that doesn't load in chrome, but does in FF.
[21:25] <ocmsRzr> ActionParsnip: thats questionable I guess. how do I check? badblocks?
[21:25] <Kyle__> ocmsRzr: badblocks is a start.
[21:26] <BrianOfTacoma> Success! tyvm!
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> ocmsRzr: use a liveCD and fsck the partition as you expect
[21:26] <SIFTU> Kyle__: a java app?
[21:26] <ocmsRzr> ActionParsnip: on my way
[21:26] <decio_> help?
[21:26] <Kyle__> SIFTU: Yea.  Proxmoxve uses a vnc-console java-appletto connect you to the VMs it hosts.
[21:27] <SIFTU> Kyle__: yeah ok.. do you have a link where that applet loads.. It should just call javaws or something
[21:28] <jmartin> quit
[21:28] <SIFTU> Kyle__: sometimes you have to tell chromium to open it with that
[21:28] <ocmsRzr> does fsck need root access?
[21:28] <whallz> hi, does anybody have installed teamspeak server? i need help
[21:28] <ocmsRzr> the only other machine I have access to doesn't have root access
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> !details | whallz
[21:29] <rocket24> sup
[21:31] <Kyle__> SIFTU: I thought javaaws was just for web start, this is an applet, launched straight from the browser.
[21:31] <decio_> I want to know how I download drivers for Fedora 15 32bit, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 but I want to know how to install the Wi-Fi drivers.... I did try to go to #fedora but I can't access, can you guys help me out?
[21:31] <whallz> i've installed teamspeak server on ubuntu 10.04 server, i think the config is ok, when i do a netsat i get: http://pastebin.com/L2Spe0zm
[21:32] <whallz> i've tried tcpdump while trying to connecto with the client and i get several like these: 17:12:52.505512 IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.51045 > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.51234: UDP, length 160
[21:32] <whallz> am i missing something?
[21:32] <SIFTU> Kyle__: it is for webstart.. but how else do you launch it?
[21:32] <szal> decio_: you've been told hours ago to REGISTER and IDENTIFY to access #fedora *sigh*
[21:32] <SIFTU> Kyle__: is it trying to download a jnlp file?
[21:32] <decio_> szal, and sense then I've been trying but I can't
[21:33] <szal> define 'can't'
[21:33] <Kyle__> SIFTU: Seriously?  Java applets start when you click on their link.  You're making me feel old if you've only used webstart and never an applet.
[21:33] <make7upurs> I am showing a "boot legacy os" icon during boot on reFIT, when I boot to that partition, I get 2 lines of garbled text. I am using Macbook pro 5,5 with dual boot mac os x and ubuntu amd 64 working fine. How can I delete or get rid of the "boot legacy OS" option from refit?
[21:33] <decio_> szal, don't know how to do it
[21:33] <kristjan> Hello, how can i solve this problem? wine: /home/kristjan/.wine is not owned by you
[21:33] <SIFTU> Kyle__: well I'm no expert but I have published jnlp files launching applets before
[21:34] <glebihan> decio_, then ask in #freenode
[21:34] <szal> !register | decio_, did you actually bother to read this?
[21:34] <andygraybeal> it looks like network manager isnt' running dhclient; my dhcp server is showing no lease -- so networkmanager gives my client arbitrary address, what should i do?
[21:34] <kristjan> Hello, how can i solve this problem? wine: /home/kristjan/.wine is not owned by you
[21:34] <Kyle__> make7upurs: The refit readme covers that I think.  It's buried in the refit directory that you'll find under OSX.
[21:34] <HeGuru> kristjan: sudo chown <yourusername> ~/.wine -R
[21:34] <Kyle__> SIFTU: Really?  I've never tried launching an applet as a web-start.
[21:34] <whallz> anyone?
[21:34] <Jordan_U> kristjan: What is the output of "ls -l ~/.wine"?
[21:34] <decio_> szal, ubottu, yes...
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> whallz: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-a-teamspeak-server-on-ubuntu
[21:35] <SIFTU> Kyle__: yeah, and often chromium doesn know what to do with jnlp files.. it tries to download them.. applets should not be browser dependant, they run in the jvm
[21:36] <zykotick9> Jordan_U, you probably need output of "ls -ld ~/.wine" unless you want the contents.  kristjan
[21:36] <Jordan_U> zykotick9: Thanks :)
[21:36] <Kyle__> SIFTU: I agree, but sure enough I'm running into one that doesn't work in chrome, but does in FF.  Strange.
[21:36] <kristjan> Jordan_U: drwxr-xr-x 2 kristjan kristjan    4096 2011-08-30 23:50 dosdevices drwxr-xr-x 5 kristjan kristjan    4096 2011-08-30 23:50 drive_c -rw-r--r-- 1 kristjan kristjan 1698208 2011-08-31 00:32 system.reg -rw-r--r-- 1 kristjan kristjan    2207 2011-08-30 23:50 userdef.reg -rw-r--r-- 1 kristjan kristjan   38567 2011-08-31 00:32 user.reg
[21:36] <whallz> ActionParsnip: thanks, i did exactly that, and the server is up and running, i need to find why i can't connect with the client
[21:36] <SIFTU> Kyle__: it is a public link for the applet?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> whallz: can you telnet to the socket?
[21:37] <Kyle__> SIFTU: As far as chrome and jnlp files, it causes no end of frustration for my users, who click on the jnlp file two or three times, and then have to quit the extra instances of the web-start.
[21:37] <Kyle__> SIFTU: Nah, it's an internal server.  No outward face.
[21:37] <kristjan> zykotick9: drwxr-xr-x 4 kristjan kristjan 4096 2011-08-31 00:32 /home/kristjan/.wine
[21:37] <whallz> ActionParsnip: yeah
[21:37] <zykotick9> kristjan, are you trying to run wine with sudo perhaps?
[21:37] <qin> Ok, using Unity, live session, how do it mount via qui?
[21:38] <kristjan> got it to work :) removed sudo before wine ;) ty
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> whallz: that's good, so its not firewall stopping it etc, what OS are the clients?
[21:38] <dr_willis> !mount
[21:38] <SIFTU> Kyle__: very stange that an app is browser depandant
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> qin: use nautilus
[21:39] <make7upurs> Kyle, I've read the refit readme multiple times, and checked the refit directory under os x, I wasnt able to find anything. I did sudo fdisk -l and I had a weird partition that was fat16...no idea what that is...any ideas?
[21:39] <whallz> ActionParsnip: windows 7
[21:39] <zerosum> how do I share a windows 7 file with my ubuntu laptop; I have a read/write share on the ubuntu laptap windows can see...
[21:39] <ocmsRzr> I ran badblocks on /dev/sdb1 while it was mounted and it finished with no output
[21:39] <BrianOfTacoma> Ok ... how do I set up my computer to mount to the network drive ... at startup?
[21:39] <whallz> ActionParsnip: i can telnet from windows too
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> whallz: was afraid you'd say that, does the client keep a log of what happens when you try to connect?
[21:39] <BrianOfTacoma>  I finally figured out the command
[21:39] <ocmsRzr> does that mean its alright?
[21:39] <qin> dr_willis: Unity, via gui. Like old, good Places.
[21:40] <dr_willis> qin,  nautilus/file manager still has the places menu i belive
[21:40] <jorgerosa> Being trying here, but no luck. Never tried to compile nothing in Linux .  :(  Can anyone gimme an hand, to compile this project to UBUNTU (a .DEB file would be great), please. (Has cross platform libraries: Irrlicht + Audiere, and I´m using Code::Blocks). I´d love to share it to Linux world. Help on this, for future releases, would be welcome too. URL is: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=39695
[21:40] <whallz> ActionParsnip: kinda... <18:07:19> Failed to connect to server
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> ocmsRzr: don't check mounted file systems, if the data changes while it is being checked it will be marked as BAD
[21:40] <HeGuru> BrianOfTacoma: you can add the line to /etc/fstab if it needs password you would have to enter the password there in plaintext
[21:40] <decio_> shit, I'm almost living ubuntu and going to Windows.... I want Fedora 15 but anyone seems to be able to teach me how to install it with the proper drivers....
[21:40] <whallz> ActionParsnip: no description
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> whallz: anything else intelligent or is it dumb like most other windows apps
[21:40] <BrianOfTacoma> HeGuru, a bit insecure?
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> whallz: yeah thought so, I hate windows apps. They give zero feedback
[21:40] <ax> i just did a package update and now my laptop's fan is running full blast all the time..
[21:40] <ax> any idea what i should do?
[21:40] <IdleOne> decio_: Please no swearing and #fedora for help installing that
[21:41] <Kyle__> make7upurs: That fat partition is the EFI partition, iirc
[21:41] <qin> dr_willis: Yes, its here. thx
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> whallz: try a linuix client, it may have verbose logging and be actually useful
[21:41] <BrianOfTacoma> HeGuru, I'm wondering if there's a way to do that requires a user input of the password?
[21:41] <ocmsRzr> ActionParsnip: I didn't have much choice, its the only place where I had the files. I don't think data will change since I have nothing running besides badblocks
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> ocmsRzr: you fsck the unmounted partition in cli
[21:41] <make7upurs> kyle, here is my fdisk output
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> ocmsRzr: also test your RAM using the option in grub
[21:41] <make7upurs>  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

[21:42] <ActionParsnip> ocmsRzr: you may also want to make sure your BIOS is up to date
[21:42] <HeGuru> BrianOfTacoma: I never tried it, but I would guess it would ask for the password at boot if you dont enter it in fstab
[21:42] <glebihan> jorgerosa, try #ubuntu-packaging
[21:42] <chris215> hi, i have a question, i am installing a new os alongside 2 others
[21:42] <BrianOfTacoma> k i'll try thanks
[21:42] <chris215> i am in the part where it says allocate disk space
[21:42] <decio_> Idle0ne, I'm a complicated guy and I don't know how to do that? I've been on IRC for only 2 weeks!!!
[21:42] <ocmsRzr> ActionParsnip: I've never had problems running ubuntu before.  My bios is specifically out of date because it stopped recognizing my charger which was fixed by downgrading the bios.
[21:42] <Shaba1> Hello all
[21:42] <IdleOne> decio_: type /join #fedora
[21:43] <whallz> ActionParsnip: thanks
[21:43] <make7upurs> Kyle, here is the fdisk output http://paste.ubuntu.com/678324/
[21:43] <Kyle__> make7upurs: Oh, that last FAT partition is more or less because OSX labeled it as such, even though it's not.
[21:43] <IdleOne> !register > decio_
[21:43] <Shaba1> How do I arrange.
[21:43] <ocmsRzr> I will check the ram, but I'm pretty sure its ok too.  The only non-standard thing I'm doing is running ubuntu off of a usb as if it were a hard disk
[21:43] <chris215> and i would like to install along the other two partitions...  (it was not an option so i must do it the allocate drive space menu)
[21:43] <zykotick9> ocmsRzr, did you figure out the USB booting issue?
[21:44] <chris215> i think i know what i am doing but a little assistance would be much appreciated so i do not mess up my compiter
[21:44] <dr_willis> chris215,  you resize and make new partition for the new os to install to.  Linux Os's can share the same swap partition. if you dont use the  hibernate to disk  features
[21:44] <ocmsRzr> zykotick9: I got it to boot to grub, and once it started it hung after loading AppArmor profiles. I'm stuck there
[21:44] <make7upurs> Kyle, so what was your recommendation?
[21:45] <zykotick9> ocmsRzr, AppArmor - sorry i don't have any experience with that.  Good luck.
[21:45] <ocmsRzr> I don't think it has anything to do with apparmor... I just don't know why it would hang
[21:46] <Kyle__> make7upurs: When I was dual booting EFI based imacs it took me a few days of tweaking before it dual booted nicely, and sadly it was too long ago to be of help.
[21:46] <kristjan> Hello again! I just noticed, that i can't configure my audio - i must have removed the software... what is the default sound confgiure fro ubuntu 11.04?
[21:46] <Kyle__> make7upurs: Sorry, I can't really help.
[21:46] <edbian> kristjan: alsa    is installed that's it (there is a lot of other stuff)
[21:46] <Polah> kristjan: pulseaudio on top of alsa
[21:47] <kristjan> so which one by default? alsa or pulseaudio?
[21:47] <kristjan> i only want the default
[21:47] <make7upurs> Kyle thanks anyways I appreciate it
[21:47] <Polah> kristjan: pulseaudio runs on top of alsa, it isn't standalone. alsa interfaces with the kernel and pulseaudio handles input and output for alsa
[21:48] <Polah> kristjan: If you still have audio but no volume control in the panel, you probably just removed pulse. sudo apt-get install pulseaudio will redownload it
[21:48] <make7upurs> anyone else can be of assistance? I cannot figure how I can delete "legacy" icon on refit. I'm using a dual boot macbook pro 5,5. here is my fdisk -l output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678324/
[21:48] <kristjan> it's installed?
[21:49] <kristjan> i have audio and pulseaudio installed
[21:49] <chris215> dr_willis:   okay
[21:49] <chris215> dr_willis:  ...do i want to click new partition table?
[21:50] <kristjan> okay... fresh install again
[21:50] <dr_willis> chris215,  do you even have unallocated space to make a new partition? a TABLE is differnt from a Partition...
[21:50] <dr_willis> chris215,  i hope you made backups...
[21:50] <Polah> kristjan, so what part of the sound control are you talking about? The icons on your panel?
[21:50] <dude> what happens with prelink?
[21:50] <kristjan> yes
[21:51] <dude> someone wrote that programs load faster?
[21:51] <chris215> of what i really needed...   i havent started writing anything yet...   i have windows 7 alongside fedora 15 currently installed on this computer
[21:51] <Janusman> I'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] <kristjan> no, the sound icon is there, when i click the prefences, controlcenter opens up
[21:51] <Polah> kristjan: But you can't move sliders and suchlike?
[21:51] <kristjan> i can
[21:52] <chris215> dr_willis: i would like to put linuxmint 11 on here too...   usually there is an option to just install alongside other operating systems so i am not even in this page
[21:52] <IdleOne> !mint
[21:52] <kristjan> maybe if i just restart? be back soon
[21:52] <Polah> chris215, that options requires preexisting free space
[21:52] <dr_willis> chris215,  you need to resize and have some unalocated space..  the installer MIGHT be able to reisze for you.
[21:52] <Polah> kristjan, you could give it a try.
[21:53] <dude> zeitgeist datahub becomes a zombie!!!
[21:53] <chris215> the ubuntu installer did...  but this mint installer is a little bit different
[21:53] <chris215> it seems to have less options
[21:53] <dr_willis> chris215,  and this is why we dont 'support' mint in here. to many differances..
[21:53] <antivirtel> hi! how can I use a recovery tool on a photo machine? If I plug it in I can browse its files, but I cant see it in the `sudo fdisk -l` output. It shows gphoto2://[usb:001,013]/ in nautilus. 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] <IdleOne> because Mint is not Ubuntu
[21:53] <dude>  9046 ?        00:00:00 zeitgeist-datah <defunct>
[21:53] <IdleOne> ask the mint channel
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> antivirtel: try scalpel
[21:53] <chris215> dr_willis: i apologize
[21:53] <chris215> should i be in the ot discussion?
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> chris215: there is a mint channel
[21:54] <dr_willis> in any case the basics is the same.. resize. make unallocated space.. tell installer to use unalocated space..
[21:54] <antivirtel> ActionParsnip .. yeah typo, but read please again my msg!
[21:54] <chris215> mint is pretty much ubuntu and i came here only because there werent too many people in the Mint channel
[21:54] <dr_willis> hopefully you havent used up all the allowed # of primary parittions. :_)
[21:54] <chris215> but i apologize for being ot
[21:54] <andre_pl> how do we get sun java now? what happened? I saw a headline about oracle being dicks, now i can't isntall it
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> chris215: np, bear in mind next time :)
[21:55] <dr_willis> chris215,  to be honest with you I dont see much point in using Mint these days.
[21:55] <chris215> dr_willis: why is that?
[21:55] <Polah> andre_pl, enable the Canonical partners repo and use apt-get install sun-java6-jre. It exists in Natty still I believe
[21:55] <iceroot> andre_pl: there will be openjdk as a deb-file, also there will be an installer like the one for flash
[21:55] <dr_willis> chris215,  i dont see anything it really offers that ubuntu cant do..
[21:55] <iceroot> andre_pl: there is openjdk as a deb file
[21:55] <andre_pl> Polah: its not in 10.10 which I am using.
[21:55] <Janusman> is there a way to boot ubuntu into a command line?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> antivirtel: 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_pl> iceroot:  I need sun java
[21:55] <Polah> andre_pl: It was in 10.10 last time I knew as well
[21:56] <chris215> dr_willis: i am used to ubuntu...  and generally use 10.04...  but i like mint11 a LOT more than ubuntu 11.04
[21:56] <andre_pl> Polah: I just tried 1 minute ago, not there
[21:56] <dr_willis> Janusman,  the 'text' kernel boot option at the grub menu.. will go to console, disable gdm
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> andre_pl: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
[21:56] <Polah> andre_pl: with the partners repo enabled and running apt-get update?
[21:56] <andre_pl> Polah: yes
[21:57] <andre_pl> Polah: something happened like, THIS week with oracle, didnt it?
[21:57] <chris215> is there a specific channel for installing and allocating?
[21:57] <iceroot> Polah: sun-java6-jdk has been removed
[21:57] <antivirtel> ActionParsnip: http://paste2.org/p/1619547 same output... :$
[21:57] <Janusman> dr_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] <iceroot> Polah: because oracle changed the licence
[21:57] <dr_willis> chris215,  not tht ivve ever seen.. theres plenty of docs/wiki pages on how you partition hard drives
[21:57] <Polah> jdk and jre?
[21:57] <iceroot> Polah: both
[21:57] <rypervenche> chris215: I agree. Mint ftw^^
[21:57] <andre_pl> iceroot: I'm kind of in dire need of a quick fix, whats the best way to install it now?
[21:57] <iceroot> Polah: everything related to sun-java-*
[21:57] <propman> chris215: you can do what you want with gparted even before starting the installation.
[21:58] <iceroot> andre_pl: go to oracle.com and download it
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> andre_pl: I gave a link.....
[21:58] <nicofs> How can I restart sound (alsa)? "service alsa restart" and "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" don't work...
[21:58] <chris215> propman:  may i open a private dialog with you?
[21:58] <iceroot> andre_pl: also there should be an installer soon in the repos which is acting like flashplugin-installer
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> antivirtel: what is the output of:  mount; lsb _release -a
[21:59] <dr_willis> thats one way to get more people to use the icedtea java i guess... :)
[21:59] <andre_pl> ActionParsnip: i have 10.10, and that article is old, I know how to install sun java on 11.04 as of last week, just not this week
[21:59] <propman> chris215:  personally I perfer to keep conversations in channel :)
[21:59] <chris215> ok
[21:59] <andre_pl> iceroot: thanks
[21:59] <iceroot> dr_willis: yes. oracle is destroying EVERY software from sun
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> andre_pl: the ppa is still there and active, it will install  java on your system
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> andre_pl: just because a report is slightly older than you THINK is acceptable, doesn't make the information less valuable
[21:59] <chris215> propman: so can you elaborate a little bit more on gparted?
[22:00] <dave> hi
[22:00] <dave> how can i fetch mail with mtut then exit, automatically
[22:00] <dave> ?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> andre_pl: the ppa is maintained VERY actively so the age of the post is completely moot
[22:00] <bnjmn> my ubuntu just told me to "kill myself"
[22:00] <andre_pl> ActionParsnip: duly noted.
[22:00] <bnjmn> is that a known bug
[22:00] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, that PPA is now breaking copyright and should probably not be recommended :|
[22:00] <heldenautie> Hey people, anyone out there super vpn savvy?
[22:01] <chris215> bnjmn: to kill yourself??
[22:01] <antivirtel> ActionParsnip http://paste2.org/p/1619554
[22:01] <bnjmn> yes a dialog popped up and said "please kill yourself"
[22:01] <bnjmn> at least it was polite
[22:01] <johwil> Hello. How do I get the code for milkytracker?
[22:01] <heldenautie> bnjmn: I think your computer has been drinking.
[22:01] <propman> chris215:  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 idiosyncrasies
[22:02] <iceroot> andre_pl: use java from oracle.com and NOT from the ppa. the version from the ppa is not the current and have security-issues
[22:02] <heldenautie> Never keep your booze and computer in the same room.
[22:02] <iceroot> andre_pl: also its breaking the licence
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> andre_pl: https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/java  last updated 12 weeks ago, when the new java came out
[22:02] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: please dont suggest here to break licences
[22:02] <make7upurs> anyone else can be of assistance? I cannot figure how I can delete "legacy" icon on refit. I'm using a dual boot macbook pro 5,5. here is my fdisk -l output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678324/
[22:03] <chris215> propman: would you recommend i do this from within windows, fedora, or from within the liveusb of mint i have in now?
[22:03] <rypervenche> andre_pl: I suggest avoiding PPAs whenever possible.
[22:03] <iceroot> andre_pl: what is the reason you need sun-java6 and not openjdk?
[22:03] <bnjmn> someone took a dump on my ppa
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: the license is to be acceptd as part of the installation, is this what you mean>?
[22:03] <IdleOne> !guidelines > bnjmn
[22:03] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: oracle doesnt allow to distribute java anymore. you only can get it from there website
[22:03] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, Oracle has said not to distribute java anymore
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: ahh I see, wasn't aware. Is that new?
[22:04] <rypervenche> andre_pl: I also recommend using openjdk as well. It works better than Sun Java on my computer and it's completely free.^^
[22:04] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: last week
[22:04] <dr_willis> i cant even find any news posts on the change..
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: that'd be why then :D
[22:04] <chris215> is gparted supperior to gnu parted?
[22:04] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: oracle changed the licence last week. debian will move to openjdk and i hope ubuntu will do it also
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: thanks for the news flash
[22:04] <propman> chris215:  this is getting off topic here.  you could use the livecd or even download and burn a Gparted LiveCD if you want
[22:04] <nicofs> Can someone tell me how to restart alsa in 11.04?
[22:05] <iceroot> oracle is evil like hell...
[22:05] <antivirtel> hi! how can I use a recovery tool on a photo machine? If I plug it in I can browse its files, but I cant see it in the `sudo fdisk -l` output. It shows gphoto2://[usb:001,013]/ in nautilus. I like to recover some removed but wrongly imported photos. I saw scalpel, but it needs a /dev/DEVICE directive... how can I recover my photos? Outputs: http://paste2.org/p/1619554 http://paste2.org/p/1619547
[22:05] <chris215> propman: ok...  thakns for the info...  before i go, can you recommend a channel for discussions about these matters such as partitioning and installing operating systems?
[22:06] <zykotick9> antivirtel, gphoto2 access isn't the same as file access (that's why you can't access it in nautilus), i doubt file recovery would be possible on such a device.
[22:06] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: http://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/sylvestre/2011/08/26/sun_java6_packages_removed_from_debian_u
[22:06] <johwil> How do I get the code for milkytracker? Is it Open source? Who to contact?
[22:07] <iceroot> johwil: the source-code?
[22:07] <johwil> yes iceroot !
[22:07] <iceroot> !info milkytracker
[22:07] <rypervenche> johwil: http://www.milkytracker.org/
[22:07] <iceroot> johwil: apt-get source milkytracker
[22:08] <antivirtel> zykotick9 - I CAN access it in nautilus! I wrote: "It shows gphoto2://[usb:001,013]/ in nautilus"
[22:08] <iceroot> johwil: that will download the source-package
[22:08] <johwil> ty both iceroot  and rypervenche
[22:08] <zykotick9> antivirtel, sorry s/nautilus/cli/
[22:08] <antivirtel> xD :D ok
[22:08] <propman> chris215:  can't really recommend anything off hand except try the OS channels of which you want to install. :)  Btw, another livecd you might consider downloading is  Rescatux  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/  which will be of great help if you run into grub related issues due to multiple os installs
[22:08] <iceroot> johwil: make sure to have the deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list (which should be default)
[22:09] <heldenautie> Anyone here that can give VPN help?
[22:09] <antivirtel> zykotick9 - and how can I recover its files?
[22:09] <dr_willis> !info photorec
[22:09] <chris215> propman: thanks for the assistance..  as always i will pay it foward and it was much appreciated!
[22:09] <zykotick9> antivirtel, nautilus is using gphoto (probably via some fuse subsystem) to get to you camera, but it's not a "REAL" mount.  I doubt you could recover files.
[22:09] <dr_willis> Hmm. what is that photo recovery tool...
[22:09] <Jeruvy> heldenautie: just ask your complete question, if anyone can help they'll let you know.
[22:09] <zykotick9> dr_willis, for file system, which this probably isn't
[22:10] <zykotick9> antivirtel, is there a removable card with this camera?
[22:10] <coraxx> so ...I now have 10 hours to figure out how to rotate one screen in TwinView mode ...does anybody have a (new) suggestion ? plz
[22:10] <propman> chris215:  you are welcome :)
[22:10] <Jordan_U> !testdisk | dr_willis
[22:11] <zykotick9> coraxx, not possible
[22:11] <heldenautie> I'm trying to access my work VPN server and it won't connect.
[22:11] <Jordan_U> !info testdisk | dr_willis
[22:11] <Rainy-day> Hi, how can I set up drag and drop text from browser to copy just text without html tags?
[22:11] <dr_willis> coraxx,  other then twinview/nvidia settings , or xrandr.. i doubt if theres any other way.   zykotick9  maybe right. Ive never tried it.
[22:11] <zykotick9> coraxx, if you use the opensource driver it's possible
[22:11] <nicofs> Can anyone help with alsa?
[22:12] <antivirtel> zykotick9 yeah, but it is XD picture card, I have no readers :S
[22:12] <Jordan_U> dr_willis: The testdisk package contains photorec.
[22:12] <coraxx> zykotick9: interesting :-) ...I'll try that.
[22:12] <antivirtel> I have SD card reader .. but it is different...
[22:12] <dr_willis> Jordan_U,  :) never uded it.. i just recall hearing it works well.
[22:12] <dr_willis> bbl
[22:13] <panda> harro
[22:15] <pr0ton> damn
[22:16] <pr0ton> does anybody see FB as listed amongst blocked domains by openDNS?
[22:16] <DeltaEpsilon> is there a utility for Ubuntu to help me with listening to audio books?
[22:18] <nicofs> My sound is all wrong - can someone help me fix it?
[22:19] <Janusman> DeltaEpsilon: with DRM?
[22:19] <runelind> I'm using 10.04 server (AMD 64) and when I do an apt-get upgrade I get the message "fork failed: cannot allocate memory"
[22:19] <iceroot> runelind: free up some memory
[22:19] <iceroot> runelind: what is the output of "free -m"
[22:19] <iceroot> !paste | runelind
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: tried a different DNS?
[22:19] <tiox> I just downloaded Orerirc A3 and I want to copy to disk, but it's just a little bit too big, even with overburn. What files are safe to remove (i.e. locales) to trim down the ISO size?
[22:20] <iceroot> tiox: #ubuntu+1
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> tiox: use a USB sticjk
[22:20] <tiox> Oops, lol
[22:20] <pr0ton> ActionParsnip, yeah, made Google DNS primary now
[22:20] <pr0ton> but still, its very weird
[22:20] <runelind> let me give it some more gigarams I guess
[22:20] <tiox> ActionParsnip: Non-option.
[22:22] <heldenautie> I can't even make the system attempt a vpn connection.
[22:27] <nicofs> Please... i just want to listen to music - but my sound is acting up... no one with any knowledge about sound online?
[22:28] <mang0> nn all!
[22:29] <kpshimeld> is anyone there
[22:29] <sweetandy> lots of people are here
[22:29] <kpshimeld> hello
[22:30] <kpshimeld> ubuntu server gui!
[22:30] <dlyneswork> kpshimeld, ask your question
[22:30] <henson> When I use apt-get from the command-line, it seems like it's trying to automatically install "suggested" packages as well. How do I turn that off?
[22:30] <CodeOmegaPrime> My internal laptop speakers with 11.04 however I am unable to get my external jack to work.
[22:30] <dlyneswork> henson, Can you pastebin what you're seeing?
[22:30] <kpshimeld> henson, it doesn't do that
[22:31] <dlyneswork> henson, ~pb
[22:31] <dlyneswork> hrm
[22:31] <dlyneswork> ~pb
[22:31] <iceroot> henson: its only installing the package you called with the install option and all needed dependecies
[22:31] <dlyneswork> henson, Anyways...don't know what the triggers are on here, but try http://codepad.org/ to do a dump of your screen
[22:32] <robin0800> henson, use aptitude and safe-upgrade
[22:32] <iceroot> robin0800: aptitude is no longer installed by default
[22:32] <henson> dlyneswork: Ah, you're right. Sorry, would pastebin but have text-only install right now
[22:32] <phong_> aaas, i got realvnc to work now
[22:33] <henson> I was seeing a similarly named package from the suggested
[22:33] <phong_> aaas, just like        the windows ;)
[22:33] <trkemist> Anyone here have experience with gnome+xmonad on natty?
[22:33] <iceroot> !anyone | trkemist
[22:33] <dlyneswork> henson, Install gpm, select the text, go to a different console, and paste using your middle mouse button
[22:33] <phong_> question, how can i start a program when ubuntu load up?
[22:33] <phong_> is there aa way to add a program to service mode?
[22:34] <phong_> basically i want ubuntu to run a program when it is on
[22:34] <vfw> phong_: Yes, there is a menu item for Session Startups
[22:34] <glebihan> phong_, simplest way is to put a command in /etc/rc.local
[22:34] <iceroot> henson: ther is a tool called pastebinit. call it like that "command | pastebinit" at the output goes to pastebin
[22:34] <phong_> ok let me test
[22:34] <vfw> phong_: A program as user?
[22:34] <dlyneswork> phong_, is it a command line app, or a gui?
[22:34] <trkemist> I need to understand by gnome3 with xmonad reverted to having no themes
[22:34] <phong_> gui
[22:34] <chrismoos> hi, does anyone know what this means in dh_installinit: Duplicate specification "O=s" for option "O"
[22:35] <japro> is there a way to have firefox on multiple xscreens in a multi head configuration?
[22:35] <phong_> i want to fire realvnc (usermode)
[22:35] <dlyneswork> phong_, you want to go into the startup manager System->Preferences->Startup Applications
[22:35] <glebihan> phong_, then not /etc/rc.local but "startup applications" tool
[22:35] <japro> all i can find is a bug report from as far back as version 1.5 O_o
[22:35] <henson> iceroot: neat! I think I'll check it out. Installing links/gpm right now
[22:36] <dlyneswork> henson, Yeah...I'm an old slackware user, so I'm spoiled by gpm :)
[22:36] <Jeruvy> japro: its been a bug for a while, no resolution in sight.
[22:36] <henson> dlyneswork: I have a netbook, and middle-click sucks. Is there a keyboard shortcut?
[22:36] <iceroot> henson: installing gdm and links for pasting something to pastebin?
[22:36] <dlyneswork> henson, No, but clicking on left and right at the same time does the same job
[22:36] <glebihan> henson, use pastebin
[22:37] <phong_> well where can i find realvnc installation folder?
[22:37] <glebihan> *pastebinit*
[22:37] <henson> glebihan: I was seeing things. Wasn't really installing suggested. I'll checkout pastebinit though :)
[22:37] <iceroot> phong_: dpkg -L realvnc
[22:37] <phong_> i have Realvnc Server (user-mode) on the Application->internet
[22:37] <henson> I really appreciate all the suggestions
[22:37] <japro> Jeruvy, so i'll have to continue with the "epiphany fix" ... turns out a lot of sortware behaves wierdly with multiple xscreens, is that something exotic to do? everyone using twinview?
[22:37] <iceroot> phong_: remeber, there is not only one folder as in windows
[22:37] <dlyneswork> glebihan, Is there a command line program called 'pastebinit', that captures a curses screen or a tty?
[22:38] <glebihan> dlyneswork, pastebinit in an application that can send a file or the output of a command to pastebin
[22:38] <glebihan> dlyneswork, it's in the repos, and is very handy
[22:38] <dlyneswork> glebihan, ah...cool...so useful for stdout/stderr applications, but not so much for curses apps
[22:38] <vfw> dlyneswork: pastebinit is for sending files and terminal output to pastebin site automaticzally
[22:40] <glebihan> dlyneswork, right, but there aren't that many curses app which output can be useful to send to pastebin
[22:40] <heldenautie> Any help out there?
[22:41] <Xago> Hey people, could you tell me, how to resolve suspend process that it is not working correctly when I close my laptop
[22:42] <Xago> My computer continue working as normal
[22:42] <Xago> Version 10.10 with 64-bits
[22:43] <henson> Just figured out you can do a / after the package name in apt-get to install a certain release (in Debian, testing for example.) Are there any other release options in Ubuntu?
[22:44] <vfw> Xago: How large is our swap partition?
[22:46] <glebihan> henson, you can do the same in ubuntu, but that's usually not a good idea
[22:47] <itilious> why would log be showing "failed with exit status 126" for my cron job?
[22:47] <itilious> i'm completely new at cron jobs and any help is appreciated
[22:47] <vfw> itilious: You will just need to look at the cron job entry for an error
[22:47] <bkerensa> vfw: Depends but mine is 3.1gb
[22:48] <vfw> bkerensa: what?
[22:48] <bkerensa> ^ you asked about swap
[22:48] <Xago> vfw, 2 gb
[22:48] <vfw> I was asking henson
[22:48] <vfw> Xago: How much RAM do you have?
[22:48] <bkerensa> itilious: What kind of cron you running?
[22:48] <Xago> total = 4gb
[22:49] <vfw> Xago: You should trun off suspend
[22:49] <henson> glebihan: Was just wondering if there was a way to install Chromium 13 from apt-get :p
[22:49] <Xago> vfw, turn off?
[22:49] <vfw> Xago: or make the swap partition 4g
[22:50] <itilious> bkerensa, its awstats cronjob
[22:50] <vfw> Xago: If your RAM is larger than the swap partition, suspend will fail.
[22:50] <Hathadar> I have an external HDD that auto mounts.  I copied files to it but now am unable to change the permissions.  here is what mount says about it.  http://pastebin.com/UtM8GRah  How may I change the auto mounting to allow me to edit the permissions?
[22:50] <itilious> http://kastang.com/blog/2010/07/awstats-on-ubuntu-10-04-server/ from there
[22:50] <vfw> Xago: So just turn off suspend.
[22:50] <vfw> Hathadar: What filesystem is on the drive?
[22:50] <bkerensa> itilious: Did you check the paths?
[22:51] <itilious> bkerensa, yes, they seem to be in order
[22:51] <Xago> vfw, if I turn off....I'll not have suspend mode
[22:51] <vfw> Hathadar: What type of filesystem is on the external HDD?
[22:51] <Hathadar> ntfs
[22:51] <bkerensa> itilious: Ok well 126 usually means the command cannot be executed or permissions
[22:51] <neer2005> hello!
[22:52] <vfw> Xago: Correct.  Dissable suspend mode, (until such time as you increase the size of your swap partition.
[22:52] <bkerensa> itilious: Are you running the cron in sudo?
[22:52] <neer2005> i need a little help
[22:52] <Hathadar> vfw, NTFS
[22:52] <itilious> bkerensa, i ran "sudo crontab -e" to add the entry
[22:52] <itilious> http://pastebin.com/dUygLWW <-- what i added
[22:52] <bkerensa> itilious: Odd check permissions on awstats.pl perhaps?
[22:52] <neer2005> i have a Mac OS Extended partition which holds all my music
[22:52] <vfw> Hathadar: Ok, you can not set permissions used by ext filesystems on an NTFS filesystem.
[22:52] <neer2005> but when i try accesing that folder
[22:53] <Hathadar> ok
[22:53] <neer2005> it says permission denied
[22:53] <itilious> bkerensa, owner set to read write and group/others set to read only
[22:53] <itilious> (sorry i haven't leanred the numbering system for permissions yet)
[22:53] <Xago> vfw, how big should be my swap area?
[22:54] <James11> Hello, I installed Ubuntu but I am not sure which one I installed, 64bits or 32bits. How do I check?
[22:54] <bkerensa> neer2005: What does your fstab look like?
[22:55] <s67cn8> Hey
[22:55] <bkerensa> itilious: Hmm very odd if you have crontab setup via sudo and the .pl has correct permissions then it should be good to go
[22:55] <neer2005> bkerensa, what is fstab
[22:55] <neer2005> bkerensa, sry im a noob
[22:55] <James11> I installed Ubuntu but I am not sure which one I installed, 64bits or 32bits. How do I check?
[22:55] <itilious> bkerensa, did u take a look at my pastebin to see if maybe i had an error?
[22:55] <bkerensa> neer2005: Its ok can you go to terminal type in nano /etc/fstab then paste the content to a pastebin
[22:55] <neer2005> kkk
[22:55] <bkerensa> itilious: Your pastebin id was invalid =o
[22:55] <spotter> join #webos-internals

[22:56] <itilious> ugh, one sec
[22:56] <acicula> James11: type uname -a in a console and it will tell you
[22:56] <itilious> http://pastebin.com/dUygLWW5
[22:56] <itilious> 5 on end was hiding

[22:56] <James11> acicula: Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[22:56] <itilious> for the pastebin link lol
[22:56] <Xago> vfw, how big should be my swap area?
[22:57] <acicula> James11: thats 64bit
[22:57] <James11> it says x86_64   ...in a way it contredicts itself?
[22:57] <vfw> itilious: root is not a valid command
[22:57] <itilious> bkerensa, &gt;/dev/null on the end is what concerns me, may not be right?
[22:57] <bkerensa> itilious: Your cron is correct
[22:57] <James11> acicula: isn't x86 = 32bits?
[22:57] <acicula> James11: no, x86_64 is the name for 64bit x86 processors
[22:57] <bkerensa> itilious: Let me double check mine
[22:57] <acicula> James11: yes
[22:57] <itilious> vfw, bkerensa, so remove root or not? lol
[22:57] <vfw> itilious: Whos cronjob is that?
[22:58] <James11> acicula: so how can it be 64bit and 32bit? doesn't it have to be one of the two?
[22:58] <vfw> itilious: root is not a command.  What is it you're trying to do?
[22:58] <itilious> vfw, simply update my awstats
[22:58] <Jordan_U> James11: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
[22:58] <itilious> i removed root and will wait to see i guess
[22:58] <bkerensa> itilious: Solution is to set root:www-data for logfile but also the directories /var/log and /var/log/apache2.
[22:59] <acicula> James11: x86_64 refers to 64bit instructions, its very different from 32bit x86
[22:59] <James11> I see. Thank you acicula
[22:59] <acicula> err not 64bit instructions, but architecure
[22:59] <bkerensa> vfw: He is trying to run a cron to update awstats :D
[22:59] <vfw> itilious: Who's cron job is it?
[22:59] <itilious> vfw, whys it matter so much? thats the 2nd time u asked
[22:59] <neer2005> bkerensa, weird thing is that only certain folders are throwing the permision denied
[23:00] <vfw> itilious: Yes, I did ask two times and have yet to get the first answer.
[23:00] <vfw> itilious: user or root?
[23:00] <itilious> ah, my mistake, misunderstand the question vfw
[23:00] <bkerensa> neer2005: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628843
[23:01] <itilious> vfw, its for awstats, but is owned by root
[23:01] <vfw> itilious: Does the task require admin privileges?
[23:01] <neer2005> bkerensa, thanks!
[23:01] <itilious> vfw, yes
[23:01] <vfw> Ok then.  Remove root.
[23:03] <vfw> itilious: just remove the word "root"  but test the command with sudo and see if it does what you want it to.
[23:03] <speedrunnerG55> hello?
[23:03] <happygolucky> hi
[23:03] <speedrunnerG55> can someone help me?
[23:03] <speedrunnerG55> HOLY CRAP
[23:03] <happygolucky> what's the problem
[23:03] <speedrunnerG55> i cant install updates
[23:04] <speedrunnerG55> Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_13.0.782.215-r97094_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 74.125.226.137 80]
[23:04] <vfw> itilious: Are creating the cron job via sudo?
[23:04] <itilious> vfw, i get permission denied when running without root
[23:04] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: did you first update package manager? e.g. apt-get update
[23:04] <itilious> vfw, yes
[23:04] <speedrunnerG55> idk
[23:04] <vfw> itilious: then it should work.  But "root" is not a command.  Remove the word "root"
[23:06] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: lots of times things get moved around, keeping apt up to date is the cure
[23:06] <itilious> vfw, its workign now
[23:06] <itilious> thanks a lot my friend :D
[23:06] <speedrunnerG55> permission denied
[23:06] <speedrunnerG55> must i sudo?
[23:06] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: yes i think will do it
[23:06] <tohava> Ubuntu is stuck on 800mhz after I run cpu intensive things, how do I solve this?
[23:06] <tohava> Ubuntu is stuck on 800mhz after I run cpu intensive things, how do I solve this?
[23:06] <vfw> itilious: how often do  you want this command issued?
[23:07] <itilious> vfw, every ten min
[23:07] <vfw> itilious: Ok good.
[23:07] <lolcat> tohava: apt-get install texlive-full
[23:07] <vfw> itilious: You got it.
[23:07] <tohava> lolcat, huh?
[23:07] <itilious> */10 * * * * is correct then right vfw ?
[23:07] <tohava> lolcat, how will that help again?
[23:08] <speedrunnerG55> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[23:08] <speedrunnerG55> should i?
[23:08] <vfw>  10  * * * *
[23:08] <lolcat> tohava: It always does
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> itilious: could use gnome-schedule if you have a desktop OS, run:  gksudo gnome-schedule     if you want to cron as root
[23:08] <speedrunnerG55> happygolucky, ^
[23:08] <itilious> thnx for the tip ActionParsnip :) i'll check into it
[23:08] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: yes, update
[23:09] <speedrunnerG55> now i should try to install updates/
[23:10] <vfw> speedrunnerG55: sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:10] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: 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 changed
[23:12] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: you should upgrade after an update, yes
[23:13] <speedrunnerG55> so i should upgrade again?
[23:13] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: i usually dist-upgrade in lieu of upgrade
[23:14] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: you wanted to install chrome? it's not chrome in linux it's chromium and before you can upgrade it you need to have it installed
[23:15] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: personally i used epiphany-browser, there is a chrome channel someplace
[23:16] <speedrunnerG55> i have cghrome installed
[23:16] <speedrunnerG55> chrome*
[23:16] <speedrunnerG55> what is better? chromium or chrome
[23:17] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: i'm not on i386 i can't answer that
[23:17] <speedrunnerG55> ?
[23:17] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: when my netbook gets here i'll have a chance to try chromium
[23:17] <speedrunnerG55> ok
[23:17] <speedrunnerG55> >_>
[23:18] <bodhi_zazen> speedrunnerG55: midori =)
[23:18] <tohava> Ubuntu is stuck on 800mhz after I run cpu intensive things, how do I solve this?
[23:18] <coraxx> zykotick9: 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] <rypervenche> chromium ftw^^
[23:18] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: 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 either
[23:19] <speedrunnerG55> v8?
[23:19] <coraxx> zykotick9: 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] <speedrunnerG55> thats a part of chrome,
[23:19] <speedrunnerG55> i forgot what it did
[23:19] <speedrunnerG55> :(
[23:19] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: something to do with the engine of chromium
[23:20] <happygolucky> speedrunnerG55: personally i find webkit browsers much faster but buggy, webkit browsers are like mentioned midori or epiphany
[23:21] <speedrunnerG55> im lost
[23:21] <speedrunnerG55> :/
[23:21] <zykotick9> coraxx, i'm afraid i've had close to no luck with "Separate X" modes, it might be possible, really not sure.
[23:21] <mod> I 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 JRE
[23:21] <zykotick9> coraxx, but you can't drag a window from one to the other, i do know that.
[23:22] <bodhi_zazen> happygolucky: chrome(ium) and midori use the V8 engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_%28JavaScript_engine%29
[23:22] <mod> I cannot figure out how to get Firefox to recognize I have installed a diff JRE
[23:22] <mod> any ideas?
[23:22] <rypervenche> mod: Make sure you have purged openJDK and gotten rid of all of the packages related to it.
[23:22] <speedrunnerG55> i have a question about banhee and gthumb
[23:22] <coraxx> zykotick9: a shame :-(
[23:23] <rypervenche> mod: I only knhow how to do it in aptitude, not with apt-get, maybe "sudo apt-get --purge openjdk*" ?
[23:23] <coraxx> zykotick9: but thanx for the input :-)
[23:23] <mod> rypervenche, same difference
[23:23] <speedrunnerG55> how can i remove all mu photos and music off my iphone and coppy my photo and music from my computer to it?
[23:23] <mod> aptitude purge ...
[23:23] <mod> its certainly uninstalled
[23:23] <zykotick9> coraxx, sorry it wasn't better news
[23:23] <rypervenche> mod: It's still different. "sudo aptitude purge ~nopenjdk"
[23:23] <happygolucky> bodhi_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 arch
[23:24] <speedrunnerG55> hello?
[23:25] <mod> rypervenche, well its uninstalled... but that's not the problem
[23:25] <mod> the problem is getting FF to recognize the sunjdk
[23:25] <iceroot> mod: sudo update-alternatvies --config java   there you have to change the java-plugin
[23:25] <bodhi_zazen> happygolucky: my mistake, midori uses webkit
[23:26] <iceroot> mod: maybe you also have to change java in "about:config" in firefox
[23:26] <mod> iceroot, yeah look there, nothing helpful
[23:26] <mod> man, i hate firefox
[23:26] <iceroot> mod: hate oracle, not firefox
[23:27] <happygolucky> bodhi_zazen: no big deal i gave up on midori a while ago since epiphany, to me, is as fast but more stable on this IMO
[23:27] <mod> iceroot, i have both
[23:27] <mod> er hate heh
[23:27] <bodhi_zazen> depends, midori is in rapid development
[23:27] <mod> crap, nothing is working
[23:27] <iceroot> mod: remeber that firefox is reading the java-plugin not the normal java-path
[23:28] <mod> i've isntalled the firefox from getfirefox.com, not the come-withubuntu
[23:28] <happygolucky> bodhi_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 IMP
[23:28] <mod> iceroot, i symlinked the plugin .so from to .mozilla/plugins
[23:28] <happygolucky> *IMO
[23:28] <iceroot> mod: and "about:plugins" is using the correc t one? why not using firefox from the repos?
[23:29] <bodhi_zazen> mod: I have seen the same behavior, not sure why, went back to the ff packaged with the OS
[23:29] <mod> iceroot, about:plugins doesnt show the java plugin, even when it was running the openjdk one properly, it didnt how anyhtingin about;plugins
[23:29] <happygolucky> mod: install the icedtea-plugin
[23:29] <bodhi_zazen> You could ask in #mozilla
[23:29] <mod> been there
[23:30] <happygolucky> mod: your plugin is a symolic link
[23:30] <bodhi_zazen> and ?
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> mod: which file did you link?
[23:30] <mod> bodhi_zazen, and here I am :)
[23:30] <mod> ActionParsnip lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2011-08-30 16:28 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[23:30] <mod> root@jyg:~/.mozilla/plugins# firefox
[23:31] <mod> this plugin needs is a vpn hook that needs to rewrite some routing tables, so i'm stuck running as root ATM
[23:31] <happygolucky> mod: 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 jre
[23:31] <mod> happygolucky, the date and time will be whatever date and time the original file was in the tarball
[23:32] <happygolucky> mod: ls -alh to see the symbolic link of /usr/local/mozilla/plugin/*.so
[23:32] <happygolucky> mod: something like that
[23:32] <mod> i just pasted that
[23:32] <mod> few lines up
[23:33] <happygolucky> mod: 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 went
[23:33] <mod> ah hmm right copying it not symlinking...
[23:33] <mod> i remeber having to do tha before
[23:34] <mod> argh, nope
[23:34] <Scunizi> mod, you'll also have to restart FF
[23:34] <Scunizi> I think
[23:34] <mod> Scunizi, about 1000 times :)
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> mod: where is the link made to? what folder?
[23:35] <Scunizi> mod, script it :)
[23:35] <mod> ActionParsnip, its no longer alink, i've hard copied it
[23:35] <mod>  /root/.mozilla/plugins
[23:35] <Scunizi> mod, has it got the right group and permissions?
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> mod: that's not gonna work. symlink it to ~/.mozilla/plugins    should work
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> mod: why root?
[23:36] <mod> ActionParsnip, tried that before
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> mod: please tell me you don't run your browser as root
[23:36] <j3f3s0N> hello guys!
[23:36] <mod> as i said, root because its a vpn hook and it needs to alter the reouting table
[23:36] <mod> it bombs in chrome because chrome cannot run as root
[23:36] <happygolucky> mod: 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.so
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> mod: jesus that's poor design
[23:37] <mod> happygolucky, 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 extracted
[23:37] <mod> ActionParsnip, write hatemail to Juniper :)
[23:38] <mod> happygolucky, e.g. this .so file has a date of Jun 27, 2011, which is probabyl when it was compiled
[23:38] <happygolucky> mod: you shouldn't run programs as root but if i have to i use gksudo, any other way and it can change your configs
[23:38] <mod> ( as does everythign else around )... besides, I don't believe in things magically changing ;)
[23:38] <mod> happygolucky ... um, thanks
[23:39] <j3f3s0N> How to disable energy economy of the wireless interface?
[23:39] <mod> happygolucky, you let me know how to alter routing tables in userland lemme know ;)
[23:40] <mod> ActionParsnip, i think the problem is that I dont have a kernel installed which allows userland tunnels
[23:40] <happygolucky> mod: aye?
[23:40] <mod> but anyhow
[23:40]  * mod kicks firefox in the face
[23:40] <mod> I don't understnad how firefox is so aware of a very specific install of the jdk
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> mod: install chromium then link it in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
[23:41] <D-coy> m4v, o/
[23:41] <mod> even when i move the openjdk aside and then symlink in the new on to look the same, it dies
[23:41] <mod> ActionParsnip, to run chrome as root?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> mod: sure:  gksudo chromium-browser
[23:42] <mod> you know you cant run chrome itself as root, right?
[23:42] <mod> this is different?
[23:42]  * mod installs blindly ;)
[23:43] <mod> sure can :)
[23:43] <phong_> mod mod
[23:43] <mod> hahaha it dies "Missing"
[23:43] <mod> it can't find the jre either
[23:44] <mod> phong_ phong_
[23:44] <mod> is there some registrion thingy for jre's or other plugins in ubuntu?
[23:44] <mod> i've never had this problem before
[23:45] <happygolucky> mod: someone said earlier update-alternatives did you go that route yet
[23:46] <mod> yes, not the solution
[23:46] <mod> the old packages aren't even installed anymore
[23:48] <toman> hello there! I need help badly. I scanned some pictures and they are in PNM format. When i open it with sane it looks ok, but when i convert it - looks terrible. Can someone help me ? Here is a screenshot: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/3379/screenshotsbl.png
