[00:00] I'm a fairly advanced bash scripter, I just forgot about the path environment, I'll call php with the full path and that should fix it, thanks jrib [00:00] pn: I swear I just saw libvte python in there when I was looking through emulators earlier [00:00] computerx: could be nohup as well [00:00] SIFTU: now line 4 has issue [00:01] computerx: if you have an mta, you should get mail from cron when it fails. If you don't want an mta and the script is still not running correctly, add a redirection to the end of your crontab line so you can view the output [00:01] pn: meh, nope.. guess not.. heh.. they got it for ruby not python. [00:01] jrib: Really? Won't it just log to wherever's necessary? Well, I'll just add signal handling to the PHP script if it still doesn't work. No biggie. [00:01] yeah [00:01] i have been up and down the synaptic [00:01] jrib: I removed the mta due to "other issues", so yeah, I'll add the redirect. Thanks again [00:02] pn: I'm a bit curious what you are planning with that.. [00:02] i cant run terminal or terminator [00:02] is there an easy way to have my computer automaticly update twitter with my public ip? [00:02] some how python modelus calling the windows for that program [00:03] yes pestilent [00:03] curl -u yourusername:yourpassword -d status="Your Message Here" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml [00:03] jrib: I'm also using cd $(dirname $0) - could dirname not be in the path? [00:04] jrib: It's in the same location as php, so yeah, that'll break it too [00:04] pn: that sounds strange.. are you perhaps having your shell set to python instead of bash or dash? [00:04] heh [00:04] I mean even that wouldnt do it [00:04] no its bash [00:04] I see no reason you need a python binding for libvte to get a terminal [00:04] computerx: you could just update PATH in your crontab [00:05] no part of the terminal in ubuntu, the shell, or anything in between involves python [00:05] jrib: That's just far too sensible ;) [00:05] but i think terminal and terminator and also other GUI forms of calling the shell depends on that python modulous in libvte [00:06] the terminal points to gnome-terminal (standard ubuntu desktop) which is written in c using gtk3 and libvte but there is no python involved at all [00:07] terminator on the other hand is entirely written in python by the look of it [00:08] jrib: Can I make cron think it's on start without restarting, to test this? [00:08] and it depends on python-vte which voila is the python vte module [00:08] which explains why I didnt find it because I was looking for libvte [00:08] computerx: I'm not sure, you could try restarting cron and see [00:08] Is anyone familiar with changing outgoing packet TTL's on 11.04? [00:08] jrib: I did, didn't work [00:09] does anyone know Is it posible to setup kerrighed to be disk bootable insted of pxe? [00:09] jrib: I'll trace the rc.d/init,d quickly. Thanks again [00:09] i have to use the terminal in Geany to make commands to the shell [00:10] How do i properly install ubuntu/xubuntu to a partition on a external drive that i can actually boot to? [00:11] NathanWW, not Ubuntu you might try #linux [00:11] me? [00:11] noahk11: I guess that all depends if grub can see you external drive [00:11] noahk11, use the custo instal=something other point grun at the external. [00:11] noahk11: If it can, it should be trivial [00:12] custom/install/grub* [00:12] I know the generall install process i just HATE grub [00:12] to much tinkering [00:13] noahk11, it is fairly easy you just have to point grub to the external mbr [00:13] twitter no longer supports cURL .. .. any ideas of alternatives for auto-updating my public ip? [00:13] noahk11, you can unplug all other drives and install as well. [00:13] any solution [00:14] Umm i cant really remove my internal drive [00:14] Whitch drive do i install GRUB to while installing? [00:15] noahk11, you have never custom installed? [00:15] I have i just dont know the correct drive [00:15] to install grub 2 [00:15] how can you hate "grub"? you se it for less than 5sec on each boot? [00:15] noahk11, the mbr of the external sudo fdisk -l will tell whcj=h it is or gparted. [00:16] which* [00:16] win hide 2 [00:16] Well i mean will i install grub to the partion on witch xubuntu is installed or a different drive [00:16] alkafoo: I think i screwed up :( [00:17] Does Xvfb ever make use of a graphics card? [00:17] how can I temporarily change so that I don't need to enter a password? Autologin my user that is. I only want to do this for one reboot to test upstart time then change back to normal again. [00:17] noahk11, the normal OS grub files will install to the the OS, the grub bootloader goes to the n=mbr= sdX [00:17] alkafoo: i added the two lines of code at the bottom of the text file it said to, and now alsamixer is no longer in a directory [00:17] mbr+sdx* [00:18] does any body know how to remove the wine prog ? I already tried the apt-get remove but it says somthing is already in use. and I really need to remove it. its making alot of errors [00:18] noahk11, you g=havwe to use the something else option to do this. [00:18] I don't want people with access to server A to be able to access to server B if they don't know the password. I want to write a script on server A that will perform automated tasks on server B. Is this a legimate reason to use a tool like this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshpass/ [00:18] im not very linux savy so what is n=mbr= sdX [00:18] because I'm assuming there's a good reason ssh forces interaction for password authentication [00:19] hi, I have a new installation here 11.04 and would like to install a HP OfficeJet 4500. Do I need to download HPLIP? [00:19] noahk11, miss spells mbr=sdX X is the drive letter no partition number [00:19] is there a force remove command to remove a pack ? [00:19] So i install grub to my main drive but make it point to the partition that has xubuntu on it? [00:20] scwizard: Depends on what you mean by access. [00:20] noahk11, you would point grub at the externals mbr the mbr is the sdX of the HD. [00:20] scwizard: why not just use ssh keys? [00:21] noahk11, this will make the external self booting, I think that is what yo want. [00:21] you* [00:21] scwizard: I'd create a particular user for the purpose and use key authentication. [00:21] Anyone know why my screen savers arn't working?graphics and compiz are working [00:21] G0R: "don't want people with access to server A to be able to access to server B if they don't know the password" [00:22] yaerkin: would I have to create the user on server B? [00:22] scwizard: what password? keys use a passphrase (once, if you setup ssh-agent) that is not the same as the root password [00:23] scwizard: basically passwordless secure access [00:23] SetiAmon, could you give more details on what you have done to come to this conclusion [00:23] sciwizard it is generally a bad idea to have a user account share with more then 1 user. [00:23] G0R: the passwordless bit is the problem, it would mean that someone with ssh access to server A could ssh to server B from server A [00:23] how can I force remove a pack, every time I use apt-get remove it says its running, [00:24] SetiAmon, the release and desktop helps as well. [00:24] scwizard: Root access? [00:24] Islam: you need to stop the process first before you try to remove the package === Islam is now known as Islam_ [00:24] Can anybody recomend a good Adobe After Effects replacement I can use on 11.04? [00:24] I cant stop the process and I dont know how [00:24] scwizard: then i misunderstood. i thought you wanted secure passwordless access [00:24] its the wine pack to run exe [00:24] how to set env variable HOME for user 'nobody'? [00:25] Islam_: you can't have it both ways. Either you can't stop the process, or you don't know how [00:25] Islam_: wineserver -k or sudo killall wine [00:25] thanx I'll try it [00:26] scwizard: You can make that work fine. The user with ssh access to server A just can't have read permission for the key file. [00:26] can anyone recomend Single System Image operating system for clusters that uses ubuntu? [00:26] yaerkin: ahh, I see [00:26] it says its not wine: no process found [00:26] so the result would be that you can only ssh to server B if you're root on server A [00:27] NathanWW, you mean a clone? [00:27] but when I try to remove it thats what it says : E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:27] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:27] Islam_ I can fix it, restart, try the APT again [00:27] NathanWW: did you ask in #ubuntu-server [00:27] Islam_ That's how I fix it when I mess it up [00:27] Gnome.basically i set it up in password under admin or what not.everything is set.but when it goes to timeout it just goes to black untill i log back in.i am using twinview dual monitors if that is relativent [00:27] I tried to logout and it didnt work even from the root account [00:28] Islam_ Reboot not Logout [00:28] thanx I'll try it Chief-Wolf [00:28] SetiAmon, did you choose a scren saver? [00:28] screen* [00:28] urlin2u: for instance this "Kerrighed is a Single System Image operating system for clusters. Kerrighed offers the view of a unique SMP machine on top of a cluster of standard PCs." however Kerrighed does not support 32bit machines or disk based booting it all has to be done with pxe, and id like to use disk based insted also ill be using some older hardware thats not 64bit [00:28] Islam_ it works for me, but if it doesnt fell so kind to you, come back in and I'm sure we c- and he left [00:29] NathanWW, this is ubuntu. [00:30] yes Kerrighed runs on ubuntu. as a cluster or way of smp acrost a cluster.. its all relative. i need another way to do what i want using ubuntu and disk based booting on 32bit hardware.. [00:30] Hello To All, just wondering if there is an app to format dvd's, I am using ubuntu 11.04. [00:30] So can anybody tell me some good Motion Tracking software or Editing I can use in Ubuntu 11.04 [00:30] NathanWW, people would help otherwise if they new I think. [00:30] yes urlin [00:30] Moonstar: you don't format dvd's [00:31] SetiAmon, not sure really, soory. [00:31] yaerkin: hmm, it assumes that the people we'd give root to server A are the same we'd give some access to server B but I guess that's a fine assumption to make, considering that anyone w/ root ot server A could just install a keylogger and get the ssh password to server B that way [00:31] moonsrstar for data? [00:32] angel56, thanks for the reply, even if the dvd is a r/w ? [00:32] Moonstar: are you talking about trying to use it as a hard drive? [00:32] Moonstar, ubuntu should come with brasero, just click erase disk [00:32] urlin2u, only for data [00:32] https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EasyUbuntuClustering/UbuntuKerrighedClusterGuide NathanWW this may prove relevant [00:32] Moonstar, yeah brasero can [00:32] or are you on about something else [00:33] thanks, i was going to use the dvd as a back up for the system. [00:33] Hey, i just installed ubuntu server 11.04 with lamp.. Now i want to install a gui and the help thing says 'First you nee to make sure you have enabled Universe and multiverse repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list file'... how do i do that? [00:34] i can use the comands but it failes to fetch data [00:34] hi everyone, people complain about the voice distortion in my Linux version of Skype but the same microphone has no such distortion in Windows. Any ideas of what to do? [00:34] Moonstar, use remastersys Single System Image or you can clone it with clonezilla [00:34] yes fix it great [00:35] Moonstar, sorry http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [00:35] just installed and upgraded python-vtk and python-vte [00:35] starpwnage, why not just install ubuntu desktop [00:35] hello [00:35] urlin2u, thanks, i will have a look at both of these. [00:35] can any body give little hand ? [00:36] Moonstar, remastersys is pretty cool. [00:36] Gentoo64, if i do that can i still install all the stuff i need for phpmyadmin and have sql databases and all that stuff? [00:36] scwizard: Anyone with root access to server A can pull the credentials out of the script, no matter what kind of credentials you use. [00:36] starpwnage, id assume so yes [00:36] im trying to have , 2 NTFS partitions 1 swap and 2 Ext4 .. in same HD [00:36] yaerkin: well duh, but the idea is that the credentials wouldn't be hardcoded [00:36] scwizard: One possibility would be to do the automation on server B and push/pull as necessary. [00:36] but yeah what you proposed makes a lot of sense [00:37] thank you very much for your help [00:37] urlin2u, just wanted to get things organised in case something happenned [00:37] Having problems getting updates (10.04LTS) [00:37] starpwnage: Do you want to install ubuntu-desktop ? [00:37] zrzerenato: just do it ~what help you need? [00:37] Moonstar, download partedmagic it includes clonezilla works good [00:38] qin, i wanted to set up a server with everything in it like mysql databases, php, apache and everything for a website, i think its the desktop im trying to install through the server [00:38] Getting this: (sudo apt-get update) >W: A error occurred during the signature verification.

[00:42] Moonstar, partedmagic is really useful. has all the disk related stuff you need [00:42] any body knows how to get the driver to my webcam, and the dell doesnt have a driver for ubuntu [00:42] Didn't work. [00:42] gentoo64, no im running it off a sepreate box [00:42] Moonstar, both work graet clonezilla will just make a image of the whole thing, including all the extras like music, docs....etc [00:43] Gentoo64, just found and iso image to download...gather this is the correct one. [00:44] how to get my cam to work, I dont have a driver to it and its a dell cam that is supported in windows [00:44] islam__, can you identify the cam?

[00:45] urlin2u, all understood, just like to know what options are available to do things. thanks for the link Gentoo64 . [00:45] HEY! I need help with my alsa because my laptop 9is having issues with the soundcard [00:46] JusticeZero, is that wine PPA?

[00:49] islam__, take a look at the link it shows how. :D [00:49] so have ubuntu doing a weird thing with networking and I've run into an impass [00:49] http://fpaste.org/ZUNN/ [00:49] I am gonna format my secondary drive and put W7 on that so I can do editing [00:49] thats the route and ifconfig info [00:49] Anything I should know before I do this? [00:49] thanx, brb [00:49] but if I try to ping 192.168.100.102 it is trying to send it out eth0 instead of eth1 [00:49] Chief-Wolf, not really [00:49] wait shit.. I cant have two OS's on two diffrent drives and still DB can i? [00:49] Gentoo64: i have an address for my alsa info, u want me to pm u with it or something?

[00:50] geth022, if the vilumes look ok then im not sure. i dont know anything about laptops :( [00:50] !language | Chief-Wolf [00:50] Chief-Wolf: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:50] oh.. heh.. sorry [00:50] so I can do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and get most of that back.. but is there another package for like base stuff, cause it removed tasksel, aptitude..etc [00:50] i wish everyone followed that rule, even the ops [00:50] All profanity aside, can I dual boot in such a manor? or do they both have to be on the same drive? [00:50] starpwnage, can you ping 74.125.39.147 [00:50] ? [00:51] ergh.. Any brute forcey ways to force an update, then? [00:51] Chief-Wolf, no they can be on seperate drives [00:51] network is unreachable :/ [00:51] Chief-Wolf: you can dual boot with two drives, yes [00:51] Chief-Wolf, yeah you can have OS's on different drives. [00:51] what will show how much network is being used by each program? the gnome network monitor shows a lot in use and I need to find what program is using it and where it is communicating too [00:51] starpwnage, what does ifconfig show? [00:51] anything? [00:51] redragon_: What does 'ip route' give you? [00:51] Okay than, I'm going to put windows 7 on the 250 gig, Ubuntu is on my 75 and is more of a leasure tool :3 [00:52] gentoo, it has like 13 lines of text [00:52] AYO, someone can help me with my ALSA difficulties? Got speakers on my laptop that will play, but no outputjack [00:52] thats pretty crazy I thought I was being slick rolling back install of mythtv with tasksel I didnt know it was gonna remove the whole system [00:52] Where would I go for windows MBR help? [00:52] Chief-Wolf, is the 75 gig a slave? [00:52] okay i'll ask again [00:52] DeLorean731, ##windows [00:52] Urilin2u, It is the slave, the 250 is the primary, ubuntu is on the 75 [00:52] how can i recover the "user-sound" that disapeared from my gnome bar [00:52] thank you [00:53] Chief-Wolf, yo may have problems if you want grub to boot both, I would put both in the master. [00:53] you* [00:53] thanks for your help...hope you all have a good day or evening [00:53] gentoo64, what part of the text do you want? it mainly has stuff like rx packets :0, trhen with tx [00:53] Ah, I'm gonna have to do a Full System Whipe and go BACK to w7 before I put ubuntu back on the 75 than? [00:53] then there is interrupt: 40 base adress 0x6000 [00:53] starpwnage, it should say your local ip like 192.168 etc [00:53] http://fpaste.org/vMIX/ [00:53] yaerkin, there is a new paste with ip route output [00:54] wait [00:54] http://fpaste.org/TBNp/ [00:54] fpaste doesn't like me sometimes :) [00:54] Chief-Wolf, no. if you dont use ubuntu much you can select what drive to boot from when you turn the pc on [00:54] Chief-Wolf, not sure what you mean basically you can't boot with a slave where grub would be in the mbr. [00:54] gentoo64, the closest thing is 127.0.0.1 [00:54] starpwnage, do you use dhcp? if not then youll need to manually set an address [00:54] Hey, is there a dedicated channel for alsa problems? [00:54] Is it possible to get a program's description via apt-get or some similar command without checking it through the ubuntu software center? I may have overlooked, but I've checked apt-get help and man 8 apt-get for any clues. [00:54] i'm about to reformat with everything on the Master, wish me luck~ [00:54] geth022, in ubuntu yes [00:55] gentoo64, i think the installer autometically set up dhcp [00:55] I'm waiting for 11.10 because 11.04 apparently has driver issues with my new laptop that are cleared up in the new edition. plus I can't seem to get it to install off of the stick grrrr.. [00:55] urlin2u: cool, what is it? [00:55] ninwa: apt-cache show packagename, or apt-cache showpkg packagename (they each give similar, but different, info) [00:55] ninwa: apt-cache search [00:55] geth022, its this channel [00:55] geth022, but its not an alsa problem [00:55] ah, thank you guys, I wasn't aware of apt-cache, I should have tab-completed on "apt- " honestly. [00:55] kaaaay, what would it then be? [00:56] geth022, the usual.. a laptop problem lol [00:56] with ubuntu [00:56] guys you are just great [00:56] will skype for 10.04 work for 11.04 [00:56] gentoo64, would 'sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces' be the commnand i use and then enter the stuff like shown in a tutorial? including address, broadcast, mask e.t.c? [00:56] linux is the BEST [00:57] hello [00:57] other people with my laptop have kindof had the same problem and had the issue fixed, i don't understand what's "different" about my computer [00:57] will skype work for 11.04? [00:57] islam__, cam up and running? [00:57] now I'm not going to log in to windows again forever [00:57] blsh0p: skype is in the software center under partners or whatever [00:57] redragon_: That's really weird. Try 'ping -I eth1' (that is a capital i) === X_ is now known as FreeNET [00:57] starpwnage, yes you can change it to static [00:57] but it says its for 10.04 [00:57] urlin2u: yes and thanx to you bro [00:57] blsh0p: well install it and find out I guess [00:57] islam__, I was just guessing cool> [00:58] affirmative, wolfe213 [00:58] linux by YLMF is the best [00:58] now I can run the exe files, webcam, and every thing is better than windows, never gonna login to windows again [00:58] aargh hate windows.. still at a loss how to get updates though!

[00:59] starpwnage, yes [00:59] or help linux be number one in the world ? [00:59] gentoo64, thanks and once i finish typing the stuff into the file, how do i exit and save? i couldnt work iut out last time :S [01:00] Hello, everyone [01:00] starpwnage, press esc to exit insert mode, then type :x [01:00] to help it be number one get more people using it. the more users the faster it improves. [01:00] my apparmor has error [01:00] starpwnage, or use nano, its just ctrl+x with nano [01:00] How I solve this error [01:00] yaerkin, in all my years i've not seen a box blatently disreguard routing like that [01:00] error message:.: 35: Can't open /lib/apparmor/functions [01:00] I'm allready doing that on facebook and twitter [01:00] I was change mysql directory [01:01] ok, gonna try the forums, this is beyond annoying. [01:01] by the way the best thing about ubuntu is you guys, you are making every thing just easy [01:01] Anyone have any idea what i can do to get my output jack working? Toshiba L655D [01:01] group hug? [01:01] JusticeZero, are you using wine? [01:02] islam__: yeah, uninstalling my whole system just a few minute ago by accident was real EASY [01:02] I do.. [01:02] heh [01:02] Hello. Does anyone know of a gmail notifier that supports multiple accounts and is actually working right now? The firefox extension I usually use as well as all the gnome gmail notifiers I've tried won't log in anymore. Suggestions? === wolfe213_ is now known as wolfe213 [01:02] not at the moment, mind.. [01:02] wolfe213, unlucky lol [01:02] Hi, I am a new user to the distro and am using 11.04. I am trying to get the original terminals to show up. I used to do this in Slackware and Red Hat by escaping out using ctrl-alt F1, then toggling around using the F-keys. Any thoughts? [01:02] yeah well how was I suppose to know running tasksel and unselecting mythtv would uninstall everything [01:02] wolfe213: you can do every thing easily by asking those marvilas ppl here [01:02] JusticeZero, go to the wine ppa and make sure the key is correct and your apt/get sources.list ois correct. [01:02] I have no idea what signature goes to wine, and nothing said *wine* anywhere. [01:03] calimike20, should be the same ctrl alt + f1 [01:03] I kinda figured it would only remove the mythtv stuff and leave the standard ubuntu base and desktop [01:03] hey there [01:03] i still cant ping anything :( [01:03] starpwnage, did you reoot? [01:03] reboot* [01:03] redragon_: Are you 100% certain that the interface names correspond to the NICs you think they do? [01:03] Gentoo, I can escape out, but I only see a blank black screen [01:03] wolfe213: just come here any time and ask the guys here they already helped me with a thousand issues already [01:03] no login prompt. [01:03] calimike20, tried all the f's? [01:03] okay, i manager to restore the user name on the gnome bar [01:03] yaerkin, what do you mean? [01:04] JusticeZero, may bne in .etc/apt/sources.list.d [01:04] but the "sound icon" is still disapeared [01:04] be [01:04] how can i get it back? [01:04] Gentoo, I tried them all. [01:04] calimike20, no idea :s sorry! [01:04] restarting now [01:04] redragon_: You've got 2 interfaces. Are you absolutely sure that eth0 is the card you think it is? [01:04] what's the best way to make my computer automatically check it's public ip and then email it or twitter it or whatever? [01:04] (and vice versa) [01:05] eth0 is working fine [01:05] starpwnage, you can bring up / down the net interface but i just reboot after changes [01:05] islam__: yeah well I'm familiar with the process.. been using debian for like 12 years and I'm linux+ certified [01:05] i think curl stopped working like 2 years ago [01:05] Can someone remind me which file in etc was responsible for displaying the login terminal tty (like for f1 to f12)? [01:05] I show links, if I do arping to the 100 subnet it returns the mac of the 104 subnet [01:05] still unkown host [01:05] wolfe213, how did you manage to "uninstall" ubuntu by accident? [01:06] Anyone have any idea what i can do to get my output jack working? Toshiba L655D. I can give you my alsa info [01:06] starpwnage, maybe you did the net config wrong? does lspci show the network card? [01:06] Gentoo64: uh cause in debian 1) there is no mythtv in tasksel, and 2) if there was it would not uinstall everything down to the tasksel program itself just by unchecking it.. heh [01:06] gentoo64, http://pastebin.com/Rw61J4Ep [01:06] Seemed to be in order..? [01:06] nor would it have just restarted gdm while I had the reinstall running in an xterm [01:06] So nobody is using a gmail notifier right now that actually works? [01:06] starpwnage, theres no lo in there [01:07] wolfe213, ah ok [01:07] if I knew that would happen I wouldve had it in screen.. now I gotta start it back up.. in debian it won't restart any services unless you confirm first [01:07] In any case, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa did not help it to update, and that's the command line from winehq [01:07] gentoo64, i left the other stuff in there, its further up, not in that document though [01:07] gentoo64, and it does show the ethernet controller which is what im using [01:07] starpwnage, can you ping the router? [01:08] gentoo64, if i can find the ip for the router [01:08] JusticeZero, you have it installed already you can save the key that is in the ppa in a gedit in home and add it to software sources. [01:08] probably 192.168.1.1 or 0.1 === Auriel__ is now known as Auriel [01:08] gentoo64, it would be defult gateway in cmd right? [01:08] yes [01:09] not sure I understand what you mean by that. [01:09] ok, it says network is unreachable [01:09] yaerkin, further the udev rules show the same mac for the respective output from ifconfig [01:09] starpwnage, is your cable plugged in? lol [01:09] yes [01:09] JusticeZero, is this the ppa your using? [01:10] lakcaj: What notifier? [01:10] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa JusticeZero [01:10] starpwnage, is this on the server? can you paste the ifconfig -a [01:10] Where could i go to get more specific help? [01:10] it should be? [01:10] geth022, in the system settings somewhere theres sound options have you played with that? [01:10] i have my main pc which im using now (windows) and the server connected to the rotuer via ethernet cable [01:11] JusticeZero, this I think is the correct without really knowing to be honest. http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/6 [01:11] Gentoo64: yeah, i checked the only available option in hardware and there wasn't much i could do [01:11] Wine has been installed for some time without issues. I do the install as directed on winehq (as the Ubuntu repositoryu has been known to be wonky) [01:12] Gentoo64: would there be another channel with more help like what i'm looking for? [01:12] geth022, maybe try making a forum thread on it if no one has any clues here [01:12] do someone know how to find/enter the nautilus channel? I have some ideas like mindcontrol and stuff like that ;-) [01:12] wenexx, nautilus channel? [01:12] JusticeZero, I am always amazed people use wine at all to be honest seems likw a hassle when you can just dual boot. [01:13] geth022, not sure tbh, a lot of specific channels are very quiet [01:13] im back, sorry [01:13] and it's been installed for a couple months. It's only recently that I became unable to get any Ubuntu updates. === dill is now known as DILL [01:13] where are the most commonly used forums hidden at? [01:13] ifconfig x packets and tx packets seems like they were sent, no errors or none dropped [01:13] dual booting is a huge hassle. [01:13] geth022, just google ubuntu forums [01:13] youll find it [01:14] yeah. I posted some ideas in ubuntu.brainstorm and they told me I may should try the irc.gnome.org #nautilus channel/room, but I am new in irc and was alone there, or wrong? [01:14] JusticeZero, really have 7 OS's on one Hd it is easy once you know hopw, two are windows. [01:14] I [01:14] 7? [01:14] yes [01:14] why on earth? lol [01:15] id consideer that bloat [01:15] Gentoo64, why not8 actually counting the virtual [01:15] wenexx: irc.gnome.org is not irc freenote [01:15] yeah, it's not strictly -difficult- so much as -annoying- to close up everything, shut down, reboot, have the clock go off, to run one program, then shut down and reboot to do anything else. [01:15] Gentoo64, it is nice to know how how other OS's run if you want to help. [01:16] JusticeZero: You need to discover virtualization yet. === Timic_ is now known as Timic [01:17] gentoo64, would i be able to just setup a webserver using ubuntu desktop? then install mysql, apache and other stuff?> [01:17] i'm using a netbook, here === richtr0ye is now known as richtroye [01:17] starpwnage_, yea of course [01:17] xangua thanks so I try empathy again...

[01:28] ty Gentoo64 :) [01:28] yes [01:28] how to solve this crap [01:28] Bustin, yes there is [01:29] buy a new NIC if you're serious [01:29] kernel dont support 8168 properly [01:29] ew... [01:29] i bought an intel nic to replace my onboard 8168 [01:29] wondered why I couldn't get a secure connection to any mirrors with any distro [01:29] not just that, it ocmpletely cuts out forcing a cmos reset [01:29] you can install the driver [01:29] so it's pretty much pointless installing Ubuntu until I replace the card [01:30] but good luck with updates [01:30] updates as in for the driver, or ubuntu itself? [01:30] Bustin, you can install it, then replace the card. it uses the 8169 driver [01:31] Bustin, kernel updates, and dist upgrades [01:31] well they broke my downstairs comps connection anyway, even with the driver installed. its just a dodgy card on linux [01:32] Bustin, id buy an intel one tbh youll have no problems ever [01:33] Gentoo64: was looking @ this - http://ncix.com/products/?sku=15706&vpn=PWLA8391GTBLK&manufacture=Intel [01:33] when I passwd myname it also changes the root password, what's going on here? [01:33] anywho, thanks. [01:33] yes theyre all good. i use the CT but theyre all 100% supported in linux [01:34] scwizard: root password? You mean the password you give to 'sudo [01:34] ? [01:34] dr_willis: yes [01:34] scwizard, thats not root pass that user [01:34] scwizard: t hat makes perfect sence.. since the sudo password is theusers password. [01:34] sudo allows users to do any command [01:34] if differnt users had sudo rights. they each give their own password. [01:34] ok [01:35] how do I make it so that myname doesn't have sudo rights? [01:35] You have other users with sudo rights? [01:35] dr_willis: no [01:35] just one user total actually [01:35] why do it then? [01:35] let me create another tho [01:35] scwizard: then you DONT want to do that. :) :P [01:35] firefox wont let me save web pages :.( [01:35] good luck doing ANYTHING lol [01:35] dr_willis: kk, I'm going to go and create another user with sudo rights [01:36] scwizard: deluser myname admin [01:36] newly made users would not have sudo rights by default scwizard [01:36] yes by default [01:36] scwizard, are you trying to make it like windows with a limited user? [01:36] scwizard: why are you doing all this? [01:36] the point of sudo is that you dont HAVE t use it [01:36] ie everything is done as limited user [01:36] but if I do adduser new_user --system [01:36] then they do right? [01:36] hello everyone, I could use some help regarding installing ubuntu studio to dual boot alongside windows 7. I attempted to install from a USB stick using unetbootin , then accidentally passed the stage of installation where you select additional packages without having selected anything. When I went back to that step and selected the packages I wanted, the installation failed, and the syste [01:36] m got stuck in fsck with an error. Since then I've tried reinstalling (wiping the partition in the process) several times, and whenever I get to the step where you select packages it only shows the ones I selected during the first installation, then fails in the same ways. I even reinstalled the installer on the USB drive, to no avail. I have no idea what to do. help please? [01:36] notverygoodatthi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:36] whew, wall of text= [01:37] notverygoodatthi, it shouldnt have messed anything up if it didnt begin installing [01:37] Gentoo64: any chance in the near future a fix will be released for that issue? [01:37] how do i change permission on folder and files [01:38] Bustin, i doubt it tbh its been around for years [01:38] maybe one day... [01:38] No one seems to be able to help me in ##windows... would any help be available to fix a windows boot sector via ubuntu live disc or something? [01:38] it was in the process of installing [01:38] !permession | webservfer [01:38] OH, one of those bugs. [01:38] ew. [01:38] Would it work if I put the linux installation on my usb hard drive as a boot disk, then put that hard drive inside my netbook, to boot and install ubuntu onto it's own internal drive it's booting from? [01:38] DeLorean731, google fix windows mbr [01:38] youll find it, [01:38] !permission | oops webservfer [01:38] oops webservfer: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:38] I have, I've tried a number of solutions [01:38] when I went back, it was at the final "hey you need to reboot" message but with an option to go back [01:38] Bustin, yea, no idea why its not been fixed [01:39] notverygoodatthi, so what happens when you boot the livecd and go for anotheri nstall? [01:39] >.> [01:39] CluelessPerson: you can do that i imagine. [01:39] there hasn't been any successful work-arounds that you know of as well? I mean if it's been years... someones had to have had some success lol [01:39] permissions tap does nothing it just reverts back to defaul [01:39] Bustin, yes, theres a driver you can manually install [01:39] Bustin, but it breaks on updates [01:39] i can't change anything [01:40] Gentoo64: alright, so new NIC card it is, thanks. Lol [01:40] so i wouldnt recommend it, the 8168 does work, but badly. so id use it as it is until you get a new card tbh [01:40] dr_willis: I want to change the name of the user with sudo rights [01:40] if you get any problems reset the cmos [01:40] well it's not a liveCD, just the installation thing, and like I said, when I try to reinstall, even if I wipe the ubuntu partition, it still show only those packages which I selected the first time as options, then fails to install regardless of whether I choose to install them or not [01:40] dr_willis: and I want the user that previously had sudo rights to be a regular user [01:40] notverygoodatthi, how does it fail? [01:41] just install it next to windows it so much easier [01:41] so right now I have one user: Abe, Abe has sudo rights [01:41] I want two users, Abe and Beth, where Beth has sudo rights and Abe doesn't [01:41] hi can anyone help me out am use ubuntu desktop 10.04 and am getting this error here (failed to run/usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window'--non-interactive'' '--parent-windoiw-id '41943082''-o' 'synaptic::closezvt=ture--progress-str' 'please wait, this can take some time.' '--finish-str' 'update is complete' '--set-selections-file' '/tmp/tmp7sztg' as user root. unable to copy the users xauthorization file) [01:42] scwizard: why does it really matter. :) but thats should be easialy doable. [01:42] it goes through the process, then tells me that the "select and install software" has failed, and brings me to the menu for different steps [01:42] scwizard: just be sure to make the 2nd admin user first.. then remove rights from the first one. [01:42] scwizard the just set ade to not need a password to log in [01:42] scwizard, what does it say when you run groups [01:43] scwizard: man adduser; man deluser [01:44] if I try to complete the installation regardless, when I try to boot ubuntu it runs fsck then gets stuck with an error that I can't remember [01:44] qin: so to change Abe from a user with sudo rights to a user without sudo rights, I need to delete and recreate the user? [01:44] I think it was "disconnected from plymouth" [01:44] scwizard, why dont you want sudo rights? [01:44] so I'm locked out of downloading files from firefox and changing things doesn't seem to be going well. permissions is lock me out. it just goes back to setting that were all really given so I'm at a loss [01:45] scwizard, has someone else got your password or something? [01:45] scwizard: I think: sudo deluser Abe admin [01:45] scwizard: Let me check [01:45] Gentoo64: nono, I just want the user that doesn't have sudo rights to be named "Abe" [01:45] lol ok [01:45] webservfer, any errors you like to pastebin, and be more exacting in the despription [01:46] sure [01:46] scwizard, they can both have sudo rights you know [01:46] Gentoo64: duh, but I want there to exist a user named abe that doesn't have sudo rights [01:46] webservfer, do you use apparmor? [01:46] scwizard: All would be, as Abe: sudo adduser Beth; sudo adduser Beth admin; sudo deluser Abu admin; [01:47] kk [01:47] anyone? I'm at a loss here, I don't even understand how there's any memory stored of those options I selected the first time [01:47] I dun get why people are so curious why I want to do what I want to do :/ [01:47] Gentoo64, apparmor? [01:47] thaks qin [01:47] i guess not [01:47] webservfer, ok dw [01:47] scwizard: Last part may need to be run as Beth. [01:48] No not getting the error anymore and firefox is letting me write files now, but still i can't change a thing in permissions tap [01:48] * redragon_ slaps the server around until networking begins to work properly [01:48] scwizard, we don't like to waste time and want to make sure a user actually knows what there doing. [01:48] their [01:49] no urlin2u you mean they're [01:50] scwizard, oh thank you mister know it all. [01:50] :D [01:50] guys, looking for info on how to update ubuntu from 10.04 to 11.04 on an openvz vps. [01:51] Oo [01:51] wladston, you have to go up[ per distro [01:51] can no one help me with my thing? [01:51] Explain [01:51] urlin2u: the thing is .... when I do a dist-upgrade, I break the box [01:52] thats quite normal [01:52] hi can anyone help me out am use ubuntu desktop 10.04 and am getting this error here (failed to run/usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window'--non-interactive'' '--parent-windoiw-id '41943082''-o' 'synaptic::closezvt=ture--progress-str' 'please wait, this can take some time.' '--finish-str' 'update is complete' '--set-selections-file' '/tmp/tmp7sztg' as user root. unable to copy the users xauthorization file) [01:52] urlin2u: I was hoping someone here is familiar with running ubuntu on those cheap vps [01:52] "Abe is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." Abe's gonna get arrested :O [01:53] scwizard, heh is that what it says now? [01:53] yupyup [01:53] wladston, you can only go from LTS to LTS or up by distro, why it is breaking wil need more info. [01:53] scwizard, the gona get arrested bit? [01:53] nono [01:53] ah ok :p [01:54] theres some script that says funny stuff with sudo [01:54] urlin2u: right.. thanks :) [01:54] Gentoo64: Fortune? [01:54] urlin2u: what kind of info would help ? [01:54] Ibis, idk what its called. on gentoo if you enable offensive when you install sudo it says insults [01:54] urlin2u: the box just doesn't bring the network or any service up [01:54] Speaking of that, I recently switched from linuxmint and already missing it. [01:54] when you enter wrong password etc [01:55] ROFL [01:55] Can you give me a sample? [01:55] :P [01:55] i dont have it enabled any more [01:55] no swear words though [01:55] just silly stuff [01:55] wladston, any errors for the distro upgrade probably, not really an area will have much comment in I never upgrade, just fresh installs here. [01:56] I [01:56] Gentoo64: Gentoo64, Ibis: sudo visudo, then edit the line that says "Defaults" and add ,insults to the end of it [01:56] ah ok [01:56] urlin2u: right. the dist upgrade runs cleanly. the problem probably happens because this vps don't have a REAL kernel [01:56] lol never really looked into it [01:57] Gentoo64: A bit OT, is there a way to replace unity with gnome 3? I am not a big fan of unity. [01:57] urlin2u: it's like a virtual kernel ... and I have to idea how to debug it [01:57] but I do love gnome 3 [01:57] Bustin, it breaks ubuntu apparently [01:57] not upposrted [01:57] supported [01:57] Bustin, i think the onl way is another distro for gnome 3 atm [01:58] aka Fedora [01:58] Bustin: 11.10 is gnome3 based, just wait couple of weeks. [01:58] Bustin: There's an unsupported and unstable PPA for 11.04, and GNOME 3 is in 11.10 (which comes out next month). [01:58] or arch, and manually install [01:58] <{-_-}> Bustin: you can use gnome-shell 2.32, it;s in the repos [01:58] I don't mean to be a nuisance but I could really use an answer to my question, idk how long you're supposed to wait before reposting [01:58] <{-_-}> Bustin: it's [01:58] wladston, not really sure with vps either never ran one, 10.04 is longterm I would stay there really I gues. [01:59] guess [01:59] notverygoodatthi, make a forum thread on it youll get more focus that way [01:59] urlin2u: I would like to keep 10.04 too. the problem is that the 10.04 package of the software I need to run has a bug [01:59] what is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.ucf-dist ?

[02:01] Gentoo64, i don't have the privileges needed to gain access to some files, such as my grub config file [02:02] webservfer, use sudo [02:02] just sudo? [02:02] or gksudo for gui [02:02] like gedit [02:02] etc [02:02] Greetings. I recently purchased a song on the "Ubuntu One Music Store" and the wrong one was given to me. On top of that, I am now unable to view the album that holds the song I want to purchase, but I can view other albums. How would I open a support ticket? [02:02] well i tried but i need to open the file with sudo in the command line right? [02:03] webservfer, yes [02:03] webservfer, use sudo vim/nano on the config or gksudo gedit on it [02:03] Fishscene: what client do you use? banshee? rhytmbox? [02:03] ok so sudo gedit then the file name? [02:03] I bought it on Banshee, but I'm now at home on Rythmbox [02:04] webservfer, yes, or the full path to the file name if you're not in the directory. use gksudo for anything thats not in the command line [02:04] ok thanks so much [02:04] sudo will work but gksudo is the proper way [02:05] Gentoo64, just did a check in my user settings I am not administrator can you help?

Put me on 11.10 beta? === smackpotato is now known as register [02:13] a4 think of partial upgrades as broken, since they have a high likeliness of doing that === register is now known as sma [02:13] Guest84316: See private message..

[02:14] well its suggesting about 30 packages relating to kde libs and amarok files Jeruvy [02:14] a4, Amarok is in the ubuntu repo's [02:14] a4, most of them should be fine. [02:14] What package is required for userspace support of LVM? I just installed oneiric yesterday, and none of my old LVM partitions show up in File Browser? [02:15] yes i did sudo apt-get install amarok and a guide said i needed to enable the kubuntu backports on top of that urlin2u [02:15] i could see them all when i did the advanced set up in the Installer?

[02:18] webservfer, yes. i tried using apt-get to install the package but then x won't start because it cant find the nvidia module. [02:19] upgrdman, did you try the synaptic package manager? [02:19] how would that be any different than apt-get? [02:20] upgrdman, sometimes i have better luck with it and it will download the dependences need for the package [02:20] webservfer, i tried it too, same deps. same problems :( [02:21] upgrdman, what about the addition drivers program? === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [02:22] hi. running 11.04, unity -- what do you call the bar that pops up on the left? quicklaunch?

[02:38] How can I make 720p video in VLC use less memory? I don't care about quality, just performance. [02:38] raven: what port? [02:39] Raven: did you define a default route and gw?

[02:39] w0 the machine isn't hitting the internet at all [02:39] ThomasB2k: reencode or framedroping (but it will rather help cpu than memory) [02:40] hmph [02:40] angel56 yes i did [02:40] It's the ATH9K_HTC driver, but how the heck do I "configure the device"? It's like an Atheros 9281 USB wireless dongle [02:40] Raven: can you ping the gateway address?

When I try to connect from my laptop to my desktop via SSH, or from my iPod to my desktop it reports key exchange error. [02:42] Except I am running 11.04. [02:42] how do I make it so that `apt-get install (pkg)` doesn't install the service to auto-run and kick it off? [02:43] Praet0rian nslookup is not installed at the moment [02:43] cipherboy_loc, you'll have to remake yhour sshd private key btw when you upgrade [02:43] no angel56 i can't [02:43] Raven: then there is a problem getting through the gateway [02:44] angel56 http://paste.ubuntu.com/695949/ this is my config [02:45] Raven: that doesn't look right. .254 is the broadcast address for the network. The gateway is the hub address, which is usually .1 [02:45] Raven: and your static ip should be something 'normal' I usually start my static IPs at 150 or 200. [02:46] Raven: you need to make sure you don't use a static ip that the hub might reassign as dynamic to someone else. [02:46] angel56 that is the way I have it configured and have no problems with any other machine [02:46] Raven: you have broadcast and gateway the same? [02:46] angel56 my dhcp has certain ip's blocked out for static assignment that is one of them [02:47] .254? [02:47] really? what kind of network is using .254 for broadcast? [02:47] it wont let me change the broadcast for some reason [02:47] Raven: well, if that works it is magic I never saw before [02:47] tonsofpcs: most networks use 254 for broadcast [02:47] it has worked for me for 5 years now [02:48] Hey, someone help me with VNC. its acting weird. The screen goes black after two seconds. Its a very fast screen saver. [02:49] ususally, .254 is used as a net gate. [02:49] angel56: erm... .255 is broadcast in a /24 [02:49] tonsofpcs: maybe it is 255 usually...been a long time. But he has both broadcast and gw on the same ip [02:50] tonsofpcs: hey there [02:50] When i booted ubuntu 11.4 from a disk, it had the programs on the top and like a windows type bar along the bottom, how can i change to that on the installed version? [02:50] hi Nautilus [02:51] oops, afk moment [02:51] .255 for broadcast does not work [02:51] Raven: try .0 [02:51] Raven: what are you trying to do? [02:52] x.x.x.255 is broadcast C class [02:52] tinybird still no luck [02:53] Raven: Emm, I really have no idea about that. [02:53] as in what you put for your default network settings in /etc/network/interfaces when setting as static [02:54] if your on someone's network, not yours, then just set to dhcp [02:54] hey anyone know how to get bt878 working? i followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=153935 but it only worked once [02:55] aphixe: whats bt878?

Vids aren't working on it for me... [03:46] that has the menu of an opened page on it [03:46] just like macosx style [03:46] renancoelho: add minitube ppa [03:46] zakidine: Link or example please? [03:46] i'm lookin for it, can't remember it name [03:47] what about it seems like a mac? [03:47] Haxers/themers usually jsut has skills to make their desktop look like mac. [03:47] Ubuntusawr[xD], if i had a link, i wouldnt be here [03:47] redragon_: itdosn't work with me [03:47] (I just got used to the top buttons on the left!! [yes, I know how to change that.]) [03:47] w0_, yes but it's not a dock, like people answer me [03:47] hmm [03:47] It's a Global Menu bar. [03:47] With notifications. [03:48] Ubuntusawr[xD], humm a link? [03:48] Which I find rather sexy. Now if only we can make that appear at the botton. and WINDOW TITLE bar appears at the bottom too. [03:48] hello. how can I recover all my linux partitions and update my boot menu? [03:48] anyone have an estimate on how long an 8.04 LTS system upgrade to 10.04 LTS might take? (machine is on a pretty fast pipe and though a bit older isn't super pokey) [03:48] like... 2 hours? 4 hours? [03:49] jtrucks >1hr [03:49] xangua: Thanks! [03:49] zakidine: Menu bar at top: http://cdn.ubergizmo.com/photos/2010/10/unity-ubuntu-one.jpg [03:49] jtrucks: Depends on the package set. Does it have a desktop installed or is it server? Bunch of extra packages or no? [03:49] rww: headless server. no X [03:49] how can I recover my Linux partitions? [03:49] zakidine: So what are you really here asking for? A mac-like theme for Ubunut? [03:49] too small i can't see it [03:49] xangua: but how do I add that? [03:49] rww: a fair number of extra packages, yes [03:49] not a theme gosh, i'm lookin for that bar [03:49] i want it [03:50] renancoelho: google add minitube ppa [03:50] how can I recover my Linux partitions if I had Ubuntu and then installed Red Hat Linux 9 on it? [03:50] xangua: ok, thanks! [03:50] redragon_. the rules that you give me doesn't work , I have iptables -I INPUT -m geoip --src-cc CN -j DROP work pretty much [03:50] zakidine: if you mean a dock there are plenty of them, explain clear [03:50] jtrucks: I'd guess an hour, two tops. Assuming the download is going to go quick and the installation is what will take up time. [03:50] docky, cairo dock, avant zakidine [03:50] can anyone help me? [03:50] cool. [03:50] yeah, I get 1 - 2 MB/s on this machine. [03:50] thanks folks.

[03:51] jtrucks: do you know how I can recover my Linux partitions? [03:51] jtrucks: doing it remotely or locally? [03:51] misaq: If I knew, I would have answered. [03:52] rww: remote, w/ console access if needed. [03:52] xangua, why do you guys hate me, i'm not talkin about a doc, nor a theme [03:52] misaq: you wrote over the partition and now want to restore what you wrote over? [03:52] jtrucks: good good [03:52] last time I upgraded was a looong time ago, and I couldn't remember how long iit took. [03:52] hello, has anyone used Rescatux to recover either Ubuntu/linux or Windows? [03:52] jtrucks: thanks. [03:53] humm Ubuntusawr[xD] i disabled unity (not too much into it) should i unable it so i can have that? [03:53] rww: should I edit the grub menu before rebooting? I assume if I use the old kernel with new userland it won't boot, no? [03:53] I'm currently have problems attempting to get a proprietary driver running for my computer with an nvidia geforce 6150se graphics card. Can anyone help me? Unity works but I keep having random crashs where I get random video noise across my screen at an angle :/ [03:53] zakidine: then explain clear like I said [03:53] zakidine: It's redundant to have that in Unity anyway. Unless you're willing to Either use "Gnome Classic", or remove the unity Launcher tray. [03:53] see guys, i have tried 3 apps than need port forwadding, neither of them worked and 1 of them have upnp function, but still doesn't work [03:53] is ubuntu somehow blocking por forwadding? === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [03:53] jtrucks: Ubuntu should try to do it itself. If you have your own GRUB stuff going on, then yeah, I'd check on it. [03:53] jtrucks: wouldn't surprise me either way on it working or not [03:53] is there a tool to Find Linux partitions and update the boot grub? [03:54] rww: this is stock on boot. [03:54] never mucked with it [03:54] zakidine: The point of the Launcher tray on the LEFT side is like a windows 7 Task Bar. [03:54] jtrucks: it should automatically switch it over then [03:54] sweet. [03:54] that's what happened on the last several upgrades... [03:54] rocktop_, post your rules real quick [03:54] this box has been around a while. [03:54] thanks for the tips [03:54] can anyone help me? [03:55] i'm packing up to go home wee [03:56] misaq: perhaps you should clarify what you mena by 'recover your partitions' [03:56] the name of tool? [03:56] i don't know [03:56] anyway thanks [03:56] i'll go look for that by my self [03:56] like a grown man, thank you guys again [03:56] zakidine: I know you can not have that "mac bar", without a dock or some program that does that. [03:56] bonne nuit!! [03:56] jtrucks: where is that tool? [03:57] misaq: I meant you should explain more what it is you are trying to do. [03:57] misaq: for what? [03:57] Or some weird Desktop Environment. [03:57] you haven't clarified what it is you are trying to do... are you trying to recover the data that was overwritten with the new install? are you trying to mount old partitions that are not part of the OS? [03:57] soemthing else? [03:58] Ubuntusawr[xD], i think i can, the page i had read did not talk about docks [03:58] i had a tri boot Win7, WinXP and ubuntu.. i no longer wanted XP so i deleted the partition and resized my Win7 and Ubuntu and now i can't access any of them; my Win7 says unknown under Gparted.. what can i do to fix this [03:58] jtrucks: I had Ubuntu and XP on my system. then I installed Red Hat Linux 9 and now I can just boot Red Hat and XP. I want Ubuntu with them. [03:58] zakidine: Yea, that's what they would do sometimes. [03:58] <_cb> Want to install ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server on a 40gb hard drive. Starting with desktop. Choose advanced partitioning utility. Do I make a 20 gig ext2 partition and install there? [03:58] Not mention it, they're creating an illusion. [03:59] misaq: fix your boot loader, perhaps. [03:59] is it grub? [04:00] jtrucks: yes. \how? [04:00] zakidine: When you do find it, please post the link here. :) [04:01] yea booting ubuntu and redhat or fedora for that matter is difficult i was trying a few months back, ended up just using the grub boot diskk to access my ubuntu partitions [04:01] yes i will :D [04:01] thank you Ubuntusawr[xD] [04:01] merci!! j'y vais [04:01] okay time to go home === nomadicus_ is now known as Technicus === mokilok is now known as Mokilok [04:10] I have a very bizzar situation . . . A friend brought me a HP Netbook Mini 1030nr. The machine has a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04. When X starts the screen becomes pixilated. I am looking for a way to possible cure this.

Can anyone help me? Unity works but I keep having random crashs where I get random video noise across my screen at an angle :/ [04:11] !ati [04:11] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [04:11] dump 3D crap.... problem solved.. :) [04:11] zakidine: That's Unity menu. [04:12] Actually, even without the 3d stuff it crashes [04:12] and does the same thing... [04:12] could someone test and see if they can connect to my server: 121.216.66.97:8088 [04:12] zakidine: The Global Menu I mentioned earlier. [04:12] It's definitely more than just a 3d issue [04:12] Yea, it's mac-ish. That's a default feature. In fact, that's what Unity Is. [04:12] Anyone know if I should be able to use a 4670 pretty well in Ubuntu ? [04:13] zakidine: What version of Ubuntu are you using? This is available in Ubuntu 11.04 [04:13] @name141 You can download their ISO and boot it to test how it runs before installing. [04:14] Name141: 4670? [04:14] starpwnage: Why not just proxy it? [04:14] Mokilok: I had to RMA it, deciding to make this computer Ubuntu since the new machine is the gaming machine, so on so on.. Long story short, I'm wondering if I should keep the nVidia 8300 GS in the machine or switch back to the refurbished 4670 when it gets back ? [04:15] rww: hmmm 581 packages are going to be upgraded. (download will be ~3min apparently... I like my new colo location!) so, couple hours? [04:15] Ubuntusawr[xD]: ATi card [04:15] Hello. Does anyone know of a gmail notifier that supports multiple accounts and is actually working right now?

[04:16] cool thanks. [04:16] starpwnage: It works! [04:16] here goes! [04:16] Hello,everyone.Who can tell me if i remove .thumbnails frequently will damage my system? Thank a lot [04:16] I'm currently have problems attempting to get a proprietary driver running for my computer with an nvidia geforce 6150se graphics card. Can anyone help me? Unity works but I keep having random crashs where I get random video noise across my screen at an angle :/ With default drivers and Unity off it still crashes too... [04:16] ubuntusawr, thank you for testing it for me :D! [04:16] starpwnage: Is that a plain and simple apache? [04:16] It means ive finally set up my old computer as a server [04:17] ubuntusawr[XD], it has phpmyadmin installed as well as mysql and php5 [04:17] starpwnage: http://www.litespeedtech.com/ <--- Heres what I been using as of lately and I like it. (php and apache on crack). [04:17] A learning curve to it, but nice. [04:18] starpwnage: You can just stick to what you have though. [04:18] Congratz. [04:18] yer, thanks though :D [04:19] i wish i could install cpanel :(, but its costly o.0 [04:19] Name141: What about that ATI card? [04:19] starpwnage: Use ISP Config. [04:19] It's free. [04:19] It works. I use it on a remote server my friend owns. [04:19] Ubuntusawr[xD]: Basically, I'm wondering if there is still the "Use nVidia when using Linux" war ? [04:20] alright, thanks for that to :P [04:20] starpwnage: Theres even an ISPconfig demo. So destroy as much as you like there ;) [04:21] Name141: I'm running ATI 5870's with proprietry drivers fine. There was an initial dual display issue that was easily rectified [04:21] plenty of ATI /AMD support from what I can see [04:21] Name141: I have no idea. Although I was mentioned something about nVidia. YOu could always just try it. If Unity that's installed by default doesn't work out for you. Use: Unity-2d (another desktop environment just like Unity and Classic Ubuntu is). [04:22] Mokilok: Alright. I'll pop the refurbished card in when it gets here then. If I want long lasting , and not much hassel , I imagine I want LTS' ? [04:22] So far, I'm enjoying my Unity. (It's 2d, but eventually, that other Unity will finally have that bug fix for me). [04:23] Name141: Depends on the GUI you want. 11.04 is VERY windows 7'ish feel. I find it easier as a beginner [04:24] <------------------- Enjoys this 11.04 [04:24] name141: I'm also not having much hassle with 11.04 but your call [04:24] I have no hassle here. [04:24] name141: perhaps check out HCL's for both distro's. (Hardware Compatibility list) [04:25] Mokilok: How can I do that? [04:25] Mokilok: That's something else, ever since after Hardy (intrepid?) my internal NIC wont work properly. Even with Windows 7 it doesn't. Must be something fishy with it. [04:25] Oh nvm [04:25] Dumb question. [04:25] back, humm Ubuntusawr[xD] have you seen the picture? [04:25] I have to rm e1000e, modprobe e1000e over and over till it 'connects'. or in Windows7 , disable/reenable [04:26] er.. rmmod ? [04:26] (I forgot, it's been a while) [04:27] Name141: If it doesn't work in windows with the latest drivers i'd start to suspect hardware. I mean it's always possible theres an IRQ conflict or something but the likelyhood of that on modern hardware is meh. [04:28] Anyone here know iptables halfway decently? I simply wish to change my outbount packet TTL. [04:28] *outbound. [04:29] Mokilok: it looks like everyone has an issue with it [04:29] zakidine: Yes. Read my response?

[04:30] Ubuntusawr[xD], no, i had a connexion bug [04:30] o_O [04:30] Okies. [04:30] what was the answer ? [04:30] (sorry my english is not good) [04:30] Hey, someone help me with VNC. its acting weird. The screen goes black after two seconds. Its a very fast screen saver. [04:30] Mokilok: looks like some sourceforge people made up some new 'drivers' ? [04:31] someone suggested something, but i wasnt around to ask him about it.. === Auriel__ is now known as Auriel [04:31] zakidine: I queried you. (Private message). [04:31] Ah [04:31] Mokilok: I guess I could just put in the Microsoft PCI NIC. It uses Tulip and never messed up. [04:33] Name141: Might be an idea, I'm a bit out of my depth when it comes to compiling drivers but it looks like that's what they are suggesting on the forum. They have a link to the source code. [04:33] Name141: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport?action=show&redirect=HardwareCompatibility [04:33] IF IM hosting a server off ubuntu, which i have set up and i can login to myphp, were would i place the index.html file for my website? [04:34] Mokilok: I might as well put in the microsoft NIC when I open up the case. The microsoft NIC is setting in a Pentium2 box and collecting dust doing nothing. [04:34] starpwnage: /var/www/ [04:34] Good night [04:34] rww, thank you :D [04:34] Name141: That would be my bet. That atleast gives you network connectivity to troubleshoot your issue. [04:35] Just a question, my users-admin stalled, is any other way to modify users and groups? [04:35] Ubuntusawr[xD]: I don't see the Intel 82562V-2 listed. [04:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCardsIntel [04:35] Is there anyone here who knows their way around Open Office Writer? My question - is there any shortcut key for "indent from here" similar to Apple's "Command+\" shortcut (used in InDesign for example) [04:36] Name141: You should just try this anyway. If you got a free drive, that will be nice. [04:36] Name141: Not every piece of hardware that works will be listed. [04:36] Mokilok: oh. [04:37] It helps to have people submitting test results and such. [04:37] Name141: I would just suggest booting off their ISO or USB to test all your hardware. If there are any issues you'll know about it there [04:37] Also gives you the oppertunity to test 10.4 LTS vs 11.04 and see which you prefer [04:39] Name141: And the Narwhal looks cutes. How can you resist such a thing. [04:39] (My real reason for switching, but don't tell anyone that). [04:39] I totally love Narwhals [04:42] Darn, was so easy :S === rocktop_ is now known as rocktop [04:43] Yea urist_! You tell em! [04:44] This channel make me focus hehe [04:44] what's 11.10? I've never heard of that animal [04:44] See ya and thanks [04:44] !11,19 [04:44] !11,10 [04:44] I wondered about that animal too. [04:44] grr.

Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:44] rww: fingers are crossing tonight.. :) [04:44] Ocelot... that just reminds me of Lancelot [04:45] http://www.poshpelts.com/images/cute-ocelot.jpeg Yey a kitty! [04:45] Reminds me of a leopard. [04:45] Or Lynx it was? [04:45] now I actually have a question... do you guys know why on my laptop sometimes I maximize stuff to full screen and they just become blance? [04:45] blank* [04:46] urist_: Hmm, lag issue? [04:46] That's all I can think of from the top of my head. xD [04:47] urist_: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+question/155488 [04:47] You had to shrink it for anything to show, right? [04:47] not sure it is lag, cause it doesn't become normal even if i wait... [04:48] that's right Ubuntusawr [04:48] Then that must be it. [04:48] i can only make it so big [04:48] after a certain size my browser and other windows blank out [04:49] urist_: Try unity-2d? I'm on unity-2d because there is a weird bug where logos on icons inside Unity launcher tray would be invisible. [04:50] I'm actually using the "classic" gnome on my 11.04 [04:50] unity was a bit too heavy for my piece of crap laptop [04:50] I'm currently have problems attempting to get a proprietary driver running for my computer with an nvidia geforce 6150se graphics card. Can anyone help me? Unity works but I keep having random crashs where I get random video noise across my screen at an angle :/ With default drivers and Unity off it still crashes too... [04:51] Hello all. [04:51] Hello UbuntuBrandon [04:51] How is everyone? [04:51] not too bad, yourself? [04:51] UbuntuBrandon: f9 [04:51] Pretty good. A little tired. [04:51] loganhoup, what version of ubuntu are u using? [04:52] UbuntuBrandon: go to sleep [04:52] Lol, i've work to do. but i needed a little break. [04:52] saturdays [04:52] urist_: I thought unity was actually lighter in comparason. (In my own experience). For this reason. Metacity in Ubuntu Classic seems to bloat up once in a while. Getting heavy for some weird reason. It has gotten so bad, it ended up @ well over 400MB of memory and when I saw this in System Monitor, I decided it has gone way too far enough and then immediately killed the program. [04:52] hello [04:53] Then I just started metacity again. (Things went all well afterwards). [04:53] Hi there mamakin. [04:53] I am a new user starting up with ubuntu 11.04, trying to resurrect a dell inspiron 600m [04:53] I actually really like Unity. It is a lot better looking that the classic interface. [04:53] i see many old problems with broadcom BCM4309 [04:53] mamakin: Cool beans. [04:53] Ubuntusawr[xD]: impressive [04:53] I'm having a lot of trouble finding a more recent info on getting the wireless working... [04:54] Ubuntusawr[xD], I started off with Unity, but after going back to classic I noticed a major improvement in performance [04:54] any links/ideas? All the old files / news links are from 2007, etc. [04:54] Though, the directiong that 11.10 is going, I dislike how they moved the dash button to the launcher opposed to atop the screen. [04:54] don't seem to apply, most reference ndsiwrapper [04:54] mamakin: Okies. Maybe I can be of assistance. [04:54] is there a more recent solution/etc? [04:54] Ubuntusawr[xD], I use Unity on my desktop, and I have to say I love unity, but it just doesn't work as nicely with my laptop atm [04:54] Ubuntusawr[xD]: Narwhal ? [04:54] I'll need a memoment though. [04:54] Name141: Yes.

[04:55] natty [04:55] Name141: 11.04 [04:55] is that what you mean? [04:55] (i'm still learning as I go here) [04:55] UbuntuBrandon, you can change the launcher if you want. You can put the bar on the bottom, sort of a mac look if you want [04:55] urist: 11.04 [04:55] oh.. [04:55] Technically there is only one Narwhal. lol [04:56] mamakin: It's a cool Code name for versions of Ubuntu. They go by names of animals, paired to a nickname of that animal that matches the first letter of their name. [04:56] Urist_:11.04 natty narwhal [04:56] I thought this was Charlie the Unicorn 3 for a min. [04:56] when i installed ubuntu 11.04 using wubi, i saw boot time error like Bad LUN Bad numbers_1-10) [04:56] I know, I just hope there is infact a way to move the dash button back to the panel in 11.10.

Version 2.6.38.11.26 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [04:57] 11.04 [04:58] Ubuntusawr[xD], I dont know the names of the bars either :P [04:58] so I stand a chance by upgrading the kernel [04:58] because natty is that 11.04 has 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 is available [04:58] I am not alone at last Ubuntusawr[xD] [04:58] rhin0: Yes. I'm on Linux 3.0 kernal. [04:58] Seems I only have 10.04.2 downloaded on a disk. What features would I be missing out with if I use the LTS vs the 11.04 ? [04:59] henningvis: Hehe, havin fun? [04:59] yip [04:59] UbuntuBrandon, I have to say, after experimenting a bit with the lenses, I much prefer the unity search box over the windows start button... I think it's more of a matter of getting used to it [04:59] Geeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwdddddd. [04:59] what should I upgrade to to get rid of a cursor freezing issue on 11.04 with inspiron laptop m5010 - cursor freezes rest of system ok -- what kernel is stable etc Ubuntusawr[xD] [04:59] i'm running out of ideas [04:59] staring and learning --also new to this world and it is facinating [04:59] Anything spectacular on 11.04 I would miss ? === eric is now known as Guest16689 [05:00] urist_ I love the Unity interface. The dash lenses are excellent, by far my favorite UI of any OS. [05:00] UbuntuBrandon, amen... I think they are onto something. 11.10 looks even better from the pictures I saw [05:00] Name141: Tons. [05:00] mamakin: TBH, for finding out recent info on WIFI, I usually just simply google that. Or jsut upgrade until it works. I used to have a wifi problem, and I followed a tutorial for my wifi card to work. [05:01] UbuntuBrandon: so it's worth downloading the other ISO? [05:01] maybe I go to 3.0 Ubuntusawr[xD] [05:01] What's the name of the wifi-card in question? Is that used on a desktop or a laptop? [05:01] rhin0: Sure thing. [05:01] Urist_ Well, my problem seems to persist without any visual effects at all. [05:01] Name141: Oneiric looks even better, you canskip Natty. [05:01] whats the recommended stable latest pls Ubuntusawr[xD] [05:01] urist_ I am onlt afraid that since they moved the Dash button to the launcher instead of on the panel bar, that we cant move it back [05:01] qin: That's in Beta [05:01] Name141: Soon [05:01] this is all good gives me hope [05:02] Name141 Go to Natty. Oneric is in beta and not safe to really use until Oct. 13. [05:02] i've wasted a day [05:02] qin: How soon? like 2 weeks soon ? [05:02] how do i copy stuff to my /var/www folder in ubuntu? how do i get the permission? [05:02] Name141: Something like this. [05:02] sudo cp stawpwnage better to do it from /var/www [05:02] when I use this rules I couldn't ping : http://fpaste.org/rUR9/ [05:02] anyidea ? [05:02] qin: I might just wait then. Since I'm on limited bandwidth (425 MBs per rolling 24 hours) [05:02] loganhoup, not sure I know how to help you [05:02] what do you mean rhin0? [05:02] good grief Name141 that must be hard [05:03] qin, Oneric is set for Final Release on October 13. [05:03] sorry, I was waiting for ideas on BCM4309 for natty narwhal [05:03] rhin0: 1-6 AM is 'open'. Doesn't count towards the limit, but only can get 1.8-2.0 GBs in. [05:03] you get a command shell cd to the /var/www then cp (source directory path)/* (destination directory path) [05:03] puppy works well, but firefox crashes a lot :) [05:03] UbuntuBrandon, oh i see. Well even if that's the case, I'm sure something will come out so that we can modify that too... [05:03] ok thanks [05:03] rhin0: http://techtimely.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/install-linux-kernel-3-0-on-ubuntu-11-04/ [05:03] the cp command is "copy" starpwnage [05:04] I followed that tutorial. [05:04] Name141 You really should get 11.04 (Natty) so when Oneric comes out, you will understand the new interface. [05:04] you need sudo starpwnage because the /var/www directory is protected [05:04] rhin0: If it fails the first time. Do not panic, and use: sudo dpkg -i linux-* [05:04] urist_ I am sure. lol [05:04] UbuntuBrandon: I have the 64 bit version of that downloaded, but not the 32 bit. [05:04] sudo gives you super user rights [05:04] UbuntuBrandon: This machine only has 2GBs of RAM [05:04] ty very much Ubuntusawr[xD] [05:04] name141 do you only have a 32 bit processor? [05:05] UbuntuBrandon: Probably, E2160. but it's slow. [05:05] Name141 2gb is plenty. [05:05] Ubuntusawr[xD] did you have a suggestion? [05:05] rhin0: Is it really necessary? And don't mind me, I got a case of SNS.. Shiny New Shit Syndrome [05:05] i compiled freedroidRPG and installed it via make install, unknowing that i may need it, i deleted the source files such and now i want to remove it b/c its not working correctly, what do i do? [05:05] UbuntuBrandon: Windows 7 64bit would use 1.5GBs doing nothing. So I'm basing the 64bit vs 32bit off of Windows 7's useage.. [05:06] so i have cd'd to the destination [05:06] gr8 Ubuntusawr[xD] [05:06] so then i do cp /folder1/folder2/text.php /* /var/ww [05:07] mamakin_: Using "Broadcom BCM4309 802.11a/b/g"? [05:07] anybody here knows of a good software for doing statistics on linux? [05:07] no ... starpwnage : cd to the /var/www then from that directory type cp /pathname of files you want in varwww/* <- /* gets them all then a . but put "sudo" before it [05:08] you must learn how to use the cp command really starpwnage and learn a bit about cp and then learn about file access rights ls -l gives you the access rights of the files [05:08] if you are manipulating files [05:08] sorry, internet pooped. [05:08] Name141 you see what i said? [05:08] never done this through nautilus (gui) not sure if it is possible starpwnage [05:08] UbuntuBrandon_ : Windows 7 64bit would use 1.5GBs doing nothing. So I'm basing the 64bit vs 32bit off of Windows 7's useage..And fuctioning [05:08] no [05:08] copying files can be DANGEROUS with sudo starpwnage [05:09] rhin0: And do not remove the old kernel please. (apt-get / update manager will eventually say something about "packages that should be removed etc".) Just don't remove. Lol. [05:09] name141 your processor is 64 it, and with that and 2gb of ram, Natty would (should) run fine. [05:09] ok ok [05:09] i look forward to my shiny new kernel [05:09] helllo [05:09] UbuntuBrandon_: Perhaps I will boot it LIVE and test it first? [05:09] Hey I need a fresh start, I'm going to dual boot Natty and windows 8 beta, I've had some loading issues when I tried to do that last time. I was told to install one before the other. Do I install Ubuntu before or after windows? [05:10] Remember though, live boots will always run slower than install. [05:10] win 1st [05:10] true. [05:10] urist_: System Profiling and Benchmark [05:10] UbuntuBrandon_: Also, if you are talking about Unity, I hate it. [05:10] before [05:10] zelozelos: Thanks! [05:10] UbuntuBrandon_: I love Unity for the records. [05:10] np [05:10] xaviergmail: not an expert on this but I personally would install ubuntu after [05:10] how to shared folder on virtual box. im using mandriva as host and xp as guest [05:10] name141 you can use classic interface. === jtrucks is now known as skynet [05:11] o [05:11] guys wanting to remove ubuntu off my netbook to sell with win7 still onit, whats easiest way without a win7 rescue cd [05:11] UbuntuBrandon_: Only for Natty, the next release is said not to have it. === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor [05:11] wow this is busy tonight [05:11] rhin0: I know right? [05:11] name141 but there will be a way to use it. lol === skynet is now known as cyberdyne === cyberdyne is now known as jtrucks [05:12] or could i install grub to the mbr after resizing the win partition to use all hdd === The_Doctor is now known as Ttech [05:12] UbuntuBrandon_: OK. I just don't see the reason for me to install this one when the next one is coming out in 2-3 weeks. [05:12] Ubuntusawr[xD], those are for statistics? strange names... thanks though, I'm going to look them up [05:12] Fudge just use win partition manager to remove the linux partitions, then expand the win partition [05:13] Well if you want to wait, name141 then by all means :) [05:13] zelozelos will windows see the ext4 partitions or doesnt it matter [05:13] unknown file system [05:13] Windows will only install onto NTFS [05:13] hello [05:14] Fudge, then load gparted, delete the linux parts, then expand the win [05:14] I am hoping someone can help me find a reference / article on getting ubuntu 11.04 to find broadcom BCM4309 card [05:14] zelozelos im not sure if you can resieze a partition in indows whilst using it [05:14] Back to work. Bye, all. [05:14] mamakin goto additional drivers in system administration menu [05:14] all my search results are 2007 with outdated references [05:14] Fudge you can dl a program to do it from cd/dvd startup but i dont remember whats it called [05:14] bcm 4311 and up, I will look again... [05:15] thanks. [05:15] Fudge i think it will work on any start-able media [05:16] This might not be the rirhg place to ask, but is windows8beta.com the real site for windows 8 beta? [05:16] right* [05:16] mamakin: It might be supported. That's what happened to me, my card became accepted in the latest versions of ubuntu.

Windows 7 first and then 11.04 dual boot. I am very stupid with this so please be patient [05:17] What does this response mean: '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; RTNETLINK answers: File exists.'? [05:18] henningvis, what is your ram amount/ [05:18] looking [05:18] xaviergmail: That is not a legitimate windows beta website, the legitimate site will be a microsoft.com address I would guess [05:18] !swap | henningvis [05:18] henningvis: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [05:19] 2.7ghz [05:19] hi [05:19] txd [05:19] tx [05:19] i need some help installing adobe flash for youtube. [05:20] henningvis, so generally the swap just needs to be equal to the ram you have 4 gigs now, just curious why you want more. [05:20] i follow setps but get no where. [05:20] Mokilok: got it from #windows, msdn.microsoft.com :) === Guest16689 is now known as LLStarks [05:20] so that is good? read an article that 8gb is better [05:20] avoider, you can just install the firefox addon flash aid and use the wizard to install [05:20] urlin2u: right click the power button top right corner, select "system settings" open Ubuntu software center [05:20] 10 things to do after installing...blabla [05:20] type in "flash installer plugin" and install that [05:21] this installer works on amd64 11.04 [05:21] urlin2u: i have [05:21] urlin2u: does not work [05:21] Anyone at all wish to take a stab at changing default packet TTL? [05:21] avoider, what is distro your running? [05:21] Mokilok, why? [05:21] sorry i meant that to Avoider [05:21] i use ubuntu [05:22] avoider, if you download the deb from adobe it will run through the software center. [05:23] henningvis, your swapi s fine.

[05:24] yes [05:24] SetiAmon: I love it. I'm used to Windows 7 so the concept of pinning items is very similar. [05:25] rhin0: How's that kernel? [05:25] havent' been that fast Ubuntusawr[xD] will try it in the next day its 6:30am [05:25] urlin2u: yes, ty i have got it to work [05:25] not on the target machine [05:25] I just went back to linux just 2 days ago after about a year of windows 7 [05:25] avoider, cool. :D [05:25] i was using the yum command in terminal [05:25] lol [05:26] so used to fc [05:26] Frankly i hate it.it seems to just get in the way,isn't very impressive if it was meant to be flashy [05:26] rhin0: It's quick though.

I get the freezeup (mouse freezes system is not frozen) after a day or so anyway so i wouldn't know if it has worked Ubuntusawr[xD] [05:26] how can i get the details of incoming and outgoing traffic in mysql [05:26] raj-darkmystery: What's on your mind? [05:27] anyone here know of a good gtk (not gnome) alternative to k3b that would let me rip a movie/show DVD and then automatically compare md5sums [05:27] ? [05:27] ever seen that on 11.04 (dell inspiron m5010 laptop) where the mouse freezes but the system is not locked up Ubuntusawr[xD] ??

Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [05:30] :P Yeah but I was debating on how to spell oneiric so I figured to go with ocelot, unless you are referring to the fact that I am asking for advice on a release that isn't out yet [05:31] teamcoltra: Yup. #ubuntu is for <= 11.04 right now. See #ubuntu+1. [05:31] teamcoltra: what they mean is that you want to go to #ubuntu-1 for that question [05:31] err #ubuntu+1 [05:32] how can i get the details of incoming and outgoing traffic in mysql? [05:33] oneiric means "dreamy" [05:34] rhin0: You're better off doing this in terminal then. Make a new folder named kernel. cd into that kernel folder you JUST made. wget download the three kernel files. Then use the command that installs the kernals. [05:34] rhin0: Oh wait, duh, you were JUST using the terminal. Lol, silly me [05:34] What does this response mean: '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; RTNETLINK answers: File exists.'? [05:34] Oneiric? Why Oneiric? [05:34] its not a problem Ubuntusawr[xD] i'm completely re-installing (not locked up now) (blanked) [05:35] I was hoping for an octopus or something. [05:35] C'mon now... [05:35] oneiric means "dreamy" [05:35] I really like Unity but I prefer the standard Gnome Shell, since Ubuntu is moving to Gnome3 for Ubuntu 11.10 will it be easy to get Gnome Shell running ? [05:35] rhin0: Okay. But I still wish for a sea creature, something more unique. [05:35] could someone assist me, its been a while. [05:36] whats up subcool [05:36] :) I am glad it's named ocelot otherwise I would have never known of the creature... then again... now that I do I want to capture one and make it my pet because their are so F'ing sexy...
