[00:00] <computerx> 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] <wolfe213_> pn: I swear I just saw libvte python in there when I was looking through emulators earlier
[00:00] <jrib> computerx: could be nohup as well
[00:00] <JasonGriffee> SIFTU: now line 4 has issue
[00:01] <jrib> 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] <wolfe213_> pn: meh, nope.. guess not.. heh.. they got it for ruby not python.
[00:01] <computerx> 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] <pn> yeah
[00:01] <pn> i have been up and down the synaptic
[00:01] <computerx> jrib: I removed the mta due to "other issues", so yeah, I'll add the redirect. Thanks again
[00:02] <wolfe213_> pn: I'm a bit curious what you are planning with that..
[00:02] <pn> i cant run terminal or terminator
[00:02] <petester> is there an easy way to have my computer automaticly update twitter with my public ip?
[00:02] <pn> some how python modelus calling the windows for that program
[00:03] <a111> yes pestilent
[00:03] <a111> curl -u yourusername:yourpassword -d status="Your Message Here" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
[00:03] <computerx> jrib: I'm also using cd $(dirname $0) - could dirname not be in the path?
[00:04] <computerx> jrib: It's in the same location as php, so yeah, that'll break it too
[00:04] <wolfe213_> pn: that sounds strange.. are you perhaps having your shell set to python instead of bash or dash?
[00:04] <wolfe213_> heh
[00:04] <wolfe213_> I mean even that wouldnt do it
[00:04] <pn> no its bash
[00:04] <wolfe213_> I see no reason you need a python binding for libvte to get a terminal
[00:04] <jrib> computerx: you could just update PATH in your crontab
[00:05] <wolfe213_> no part of the terminal in ubuntu, the shell, or anything in between involves python
[00:05] <computerx> jrib: That's just far too sensible ;)
[00:05] <pn> but i think terminal and terminator and also other GUI forms of calling the shell depends on that python modulous in libvte
[00:06] <wolfe213_> 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] <wolfe213_> terminator on the other hand is entirely written in python by the look of it
[00:08] <computerx> jrib: Can I make cron think it's on start without restarting, to test this?
[00:08] <wolfe213_> and it depends on python-vte which voila is the python vte module
[00:08] <wolfe213_> which explains why I didnt find it because I was looking for libvte
[00:08] <jrib> computerx: I'm not sure, you could try restarting cron and see
[00:08] <MasterOfMinutia> Is anyone familiar with changing outgoing packet TTL's on 11.04?
[00:08] <computerx> jrib: I did, didn't work
[00:09] <NathanWW> does anyone know Is it posible to setup kerrighed to be disk bootable insted of pxe?
[00:09] <computerx> jrib: I'll trace the rc.d/init,d quickly. Thanks again
[00:09] <pn> i have to use the terminal in Geany to make commands to the shell
[00:10] <noahk11> How do i properly install ubuntu/xubuntu to a partition on a external drive that i can actually boot to?
[00:11] <urlin2u> NathanWW, not Ubuntu you might try #linux
[00:11] <noahk11> me?
[00:11] <computerx> noahk11: I guess that all depends if grub can see you external drive
[00:11] <urlin2u> noahk11, use the custo instal=something other point grun at the external.
[00:11] <computerx> noahk11: If it can, it should be trivial
[00:12] <urlin2u> custom/install/grub*
[00:12] <noahk11> I know the generall install process i just HATE grub
[00:12] <noahk11> to much tinkering
[00:13] <urlin2u> noahk11, it is fairly easy you just have to point grub to the external mbr
[00:13] <petester> twitter no longer supports cURL .. .. any ideas of alternatives for auto-updating my public ip?
[00:13] <urlin2u> noahk11, you can unplug all other drives and install as well.
[00:13] <pn> any solution
[00:14] <noahk11> Umm i cant really remove my internal drive
[00:14] <noahk11> Whitch drive do i install GRUB to while installing?
[00:15] <urlin2u> noahk11, you have never custom installed?
[00:15] <noahk11> I have i just dont know the correct drive
[00:15] <noahk11> to install grub 2
[00:15] <KM0201> how can you hate "grub"?  you se it for less than 5sec on each boot?
[00:15] <urlin2u> noahk11, the mbr of the external sudo fdisk -l will tell whcj=h it is or gparted.
[00:16] <urlin2u> which*
[00:16] <petester> win hide 2
[00:16] <noahk11> Well i mean will i install grub to the partion on witch xubuntu is installed or a different drive
[00:16] <geth022> alkafoo: I think i screwed up :(
[00:17] <atomicfusion> Does Xvfb ever make use of a graphics card?
[00:17] <spacebug-> 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] <urlin2u> noahk11, the normal OS grub files will install to the the OS, the grub bootloader goes to the n=mbr= sdX
[00:17] <geth022> 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] <urlin2u> mbr+sdx*
[00:18] <Islam> 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] <urlin2u> noahk11, you g=havwe to use the something else option to do this.
[00:18] <scwizard> 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] <noahk11> im not very linux savy so what is n=mbr= sdX
[00:18] <scwizard> because I'm assuming there's a good reason ssh forces interaction for password authentication
[00:19] <stepnjump> 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] <urlin2u> noahk11, miss spells mbr=sdX  X is the drive letter no partition number
[00:19] <Islam> is there a force remove command to remove a pack ?
[00:19] <noahk11> So i install grub to my main drive but make it point to the partition that has xubuntu on it?
[00:20] <yaerkin> scwizard: Depends on what you mean by access.
[00:20] <urlin2u> noahk11, you would point grub at the externals mbr the mbr is the sdX of the HD.
[00:20] <G0R> scwizard: why not just use ssh keys?
[00:21] <urlin2u> noahk11, this will make the external self booting, I think that is what yo want.
[00:21] <urlin2u> you*
[00:21] <yaerkin> scwizard: I'd create a particular user for the purpose and use key authentication.
[00:21] <SetiAmon> Anyone know why my screen savers arn't working?graphics and compiz are working
[00:21] <scwizard> 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] <scwizard> yaerkin: would I have to create the user on server B?
[00:22] <G0R> scwizard: what password?  keys use a passphrase (once, if you setup ssh-agent) that is not the same as the root password
[00:23] <G0R> scwizard: basically passwordless secure access
[00:23] <urlin2u> SetiAmon, could you give more details on what you have done to come to this conclusion
[00:23] <wildbat> sciwizard it is generally a bad idea to have a user account share with more then 1 user.
[00:23] <scwizard> 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] <Islam> how can I force remove a pack, every time I use apt-get remove it says its running,
[00:24] <urlin2u> SetiAmon, the release and desktop helps as well.
[00:24] <yaerkin> scwizard: Root access?
[00:24] <angel56> Islam: you need to stop the process first before you try to remove the package
[00:24] <Chief-Wolf> Can anybody recomend a good Adobe After Effects replacement I can use on 11.04?
[00:24] <Islam_> I cant stop the process and I dont know how
[00:24] <G0R> scwizard: then i misunderstood.  i thought you wanted secure passwordless access
[00:24] <Islam_> its the wine pack to run exe
[00:24] <a|i> how to set env variable HOME for user 'nobody'?
[00:25] <angel56> Islam_: you can't have it both ways. Either you can't stop the process, or you don't know how
[00:25] <wildbat> Islam_:  wineserver -k  or sudo killall wine
[00:25] <Islam_> thanx I'll try it
[00:26] <yaerkin> 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] <NathanWW> can anyone recomend Single System Image operating system for clusters that uses ubuntu?
[00:26] <scwizard> yaerkin: ahh, I see
[00:26] <Islam_> it says its not wine: no process found
[00:26] <scwizard> so the result would be that you can only ssh to server B if you're root on server A
[00:27] <urlin2u> NathanWW, you mean a clone?
[00:27] <Islam_> 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] <Islam_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[00:27] <Chief-Wolf> Islam_ I can fix it, restart, try the APT again
[00:27] <SIFTU> NathanWW: did you ask in #ubuntu-server
[00:27] <Chief-Wolf> Islam_ That's how I fix it when I mess it up
[00:27] <SetiAmon> 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] <Islam_> I tried to logout and it didnt work even from the root account
[00:28] <Chief-Wolf> Islam_ Reboot not Logout
[00:28] <Islam_> thanx I'll try it  Chief-Wolf
[00:28] <urlin2u> SetiAmon, did you choose a scren saver?
[00:28] <urlin2u> screen*
[00:28] <NathanWW> 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] <Chief-Wolf> 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] <urlin2u> NathanWW, this is ubuntu.
[00:30] <NathanWW> 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] <Moonstar> Hello To All, just wondering if there is an app to format dvd's, I am using ubuntu 11.04.
[00:30] <Chief-Wolf> So can anybody tell me some good Motion Tracking software or Editing I can use in Ubuntu 11.04
[00:30] <urlin2u> NathanWW, people would help otherwise if they new I think.
[00:30] <SetiAmon> yes urlin
[00:30] <angel56> Moonstar: you don't format dvd's
[00:31] <urlin2u> SetiAmon, not sure really, soory.
[00:31] <scwizard> 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] <urlin2u> moonsrstar for data?
[00:32] <Moonstar> angel56, thanks for the reply, even if the dvd is a r/w ?
[00:32] <angel56> Moonstar: are you talking about trying to use it as a hard drive?
[00:32] <Gentoo64> Moonstar, ubuntu should come with brasero, just click erase disk
[00:32] <Moonstar> urlin2u, only for data
[00:32] <bazhang> https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EasyUbuntuClustering/UbuntuKerrighedClusterGuide NathanWW this may prove relevant
[00:32] <urlin2u> Moonstar, yeah brasero can
[00:32] <Gentoo64> or are you on about something else
[00:33] <Moonstar> thanks, i was going to use the dvd as a back up for the system.
[00:33] <starpwnage> 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] <starpwnage> i can use the comands but it failes to fetch data
[00:34] <noonday> 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] <urlin2u> Moonstar, use remastersys Single System Image  or you can clone it with clonezilla
[00:34] <pn> yes fix it great
[00:35] <urlin2u> Moonstar, sorry http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/
[00:35] <pn> just installed and upgraded python-vtk and python-vte
[00:35] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, why not just install ubuntu desktop
[00:35] <zrzerenato> hello
[00:35] <Moonstar> urlin2u, thanks, i will have a look at both of these.
[00:35] <zrzerenato> can any body give little hand ?
[00:36] <urlin2u> Moonstar, remastersys is pretty cool.
[00:36] <starpwnage> 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] <yaerkin> 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] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, id assume so yes
[00:36] <zrzerenato> im trying to have , 2 NTFS partitions 1 swap and 2 Ext4 .. in same HD
[00:36] <scwizard> yaerkin: well duh, but the idea is that the credentials wouldn't be hardcoded
[00:36] <yaerkin> scwizard: One possibility would be to do the automation on server B and push/pull as necessary.
[00:36] <scwizard> but yeah what you proposed makes a lot of sense
[00:37] <scwizard> thank you very much for your help
[00:37] <Moonstar> urlin2u, just wanted to get things organised in case  something happenned
[00:37] <JusticeZero> Having problems getting updates (10.04LTS)

[00:41] <Moonstar> Gentoo64, I have not seen partedmagic before, looking on the web now.  and for urlin2u just downloaded remastersys
[00:41] <kasi_> how can I configure the number and layout of workspaces in the ubuntu natty classic mode?
[00:42] <Gentoo64> Moonstar, partedmagic is really useful. has all the disk related stuff you need
[00:42] <islam__> any body knows how to get the driver to my webcam, and the dell doesnt have a driver for ubuntu
[00:42] <JusticeZero> Didn't work.
[00:42] <starpwnage> gentoo64, no im running it off a sepreate box
[00:42] <urlin2u> Moonstar, both work graet clonezilla will just make a image of the whole thing, including all the extras like music, docs....etc
[00:43] <Moonstar> Gentoo64, just found and iso image to download...gather this is the correct one.
[00:44] <islam__> 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] <urlin2u> islam__, can you identify the cam?
[00:44] <Gentoo64> Moonstar, http://goo.gl/tyLKU
[00:44] <islam__> a builtin cam in a dell laptop
[00:45] <JusticeZero> said 'no ultimately trusted keys found' and a new update got the same error
[00:45] <urlin2u> islam__, more exacting is needed, actual cam model, probably.
[00:45] <Moonstar> urlin2u, all understood, just like to know what options are available to do things. thanks for the link Gentoo64 .
[00:45] <geth022> HEY! I need help with my alsa because my laptop 9is having issues with the soundcard

[00:49] <yaerkin> Sup?
[00:49] <urlin2u> islam__, take a look at the link it shows how. :D
[00:49] <redragon_> so have ubuntu doing a weird thing with networking and I've run into an impass
[00:49] <redragon_> http://fpaste.org/ZUNN/
[00:49] <Chief-Wolf> I am gonna format my secondary drive and put W7 on that so I can do editing
[00:49] <redragon_> thats the route and ifconfig info
[00:49] <Chief-Wolf> Anything I should know before I do this?
[00:49] <islam__> thanx, brb
[00:49] <redragon_> but if I try to ping 192.168.100.102 it is trying to send it out eth0 instead of eth1
[00:49] <Gentoo64> Chief-Wolf, not really
[00:49] <Chief-Wolf> wait shit.. I cant have two OS's on two diffrent drives and still DB can i?
[00:49] <geth022> Gentoo64: i have an address for my alsa info, u want me to pm u with it or something?
[00:49] <starpwnage> 'ping -c 4 google.com' bring up unkown host, is that bad?
[00:50] <Gentoo64> geth022, if the vilumes look ok then im not sure. i dont know anything about laptops :(
[00:50] <IdleOne> !language | Chief-Wolf
[00:50] <Chief-Wolf> oh.. heh.. sorry
[00:50] <wolfe213_> 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] <allowoverride> i wish everyone followed that rule, even the ops
[00:50] <Chief-Wolf> All profanity aside, can I dual boot in such a manor? or do they both have to be on the same drive?
[00:50] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, can you ping 74.125.39.147
[00:50] <Gentoo64> ?
[00:51] <JusticeZero> ergh.. Any brute forcey ways to force an update, then?
[00:51] <Gentoo64> Chief-Wolf, no they can be on seperate drives
[00:51] <starpwnage> network is unreachable :/
[00:51] <wolfe213_> Chief-Wolf: you can dual boot with two drives, yes
[00:51] <urlin2u> Chief-Wolf, yeah you can have OS's on different drives.
[00:51] <hanasaki> 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] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, what does ifconfig show?
[00:51] <Gentoo64> anything?
[00:51] <yaerkin> redragon_: What does 'ip route' give you?
[00:51] <Chief-Wolf> 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] <starpwnage> gentoo, it has like 13 lines of text
[00:52] <geth022> AYO, someone can help me with my ALSA difficulties? Got speakers on my laptop that will play, but no outputjack
[00:52] <wolfe213_> 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] <DeLorean731> Where would I go for windows MBR help?
[00:52] <urlin2u> Chief-Wolf, is the 75 gig a slave?
[00:52] <zakidine> okay i'll ask again
[00:52] <Gentoo64> DeLorean731, ##windows
[00:52] <Chief-Wolf> Urilin2u, It is the slave, the 250 is the primary, ubuntu is on the 75
[00:52] <zakidine> how can i recover the "user-sound" that disapeared from my gnome bar
[00:52] <DeLorean731> thank you
[00:53] <urlin2u> Chief-Wolf, yo may have problems if you want grub to boot both, I would put both in the master.
[00:53] <urlin2u> you*
[00:53] <Moonstar> thanks for your help...hope you all have a good day or evening
[00:53] <starpwnage> gentoo64, what part of the text do you want? it mainly has stuff like rx packets :0, trhen with tx
[00:53] <Chief-Wolf> 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] <starpwnage> then there is interrupt: 40 base  adress 0x6000
[00:53] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, it should say your local ip like 192.168 etc
[00:53] <redragon_> http://fpaste.org/vMIX/
[00:53] <redragon_> yaerkin, there is a new paste with ip route output
[00:54] <redragon_> wait
[00:54] <redragon_> http://fpaste.org/TBNp/
[00:54] <redragon_> fpaste doesn't like me sometimes :)
[00:54] <Gentoo64> 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] <urlin2u> Chief-Wolf, not sure what you mean basically you can't boot with a slave where grub would be in the mbr.
[00:54] <starpwnage> gentoo64, the closest thing is 127.0.0.1
[00:54] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, do you use dhcp? if not then youll need to manually set an address
[00:54] <geth022> Hey, is there a dedicated channel for alsa problems?
[00:54] <ninwa> 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] <Chief-Wolf> i'm about to reformat with everything on the Master, wish me luck~
[00:54] <urlin2u> geth022, in ubuntu yes
[00:55] <starpwnage> gentoo64, i think the installer autometically set up dhcp
[00:55] <JusticeZero> 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] <geth022> urlin2u: cool, what is it?
[00:55] <Flannel> ninwa: apt-cache show packagename, or apt-cache showpkg packagename  (they each give similar, but different, info)
[00:55] <yeats> ninwa: apt-cache search <package>
[00:55] <Gentoo64> geth022, its this channel
[00:55] <Gentoo64> geth022, but its not an alsa problem
[00:55] <ninwa> ah, thank you guys, I wasn't aware of apt-cache, I should have tab-completed on "apt- " honestly.
[00:55] <geth022> kaaaay, what would it then be?
[00:56] <Gentoo64> geth022, the usual.. a laptop problem lol
[00:56] <Gentoo64> with ubuntu
[00:56] <islam__> guys you are just great
[00:56] <blsh0p> will skype for 10.04 work for 11.04
[00:56] <starpwnage> 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] <islam__> linux is the BEST
[00:57] <zhcb> hello
[00:57] <geth022> 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] <blsh0p> will skype work for 11.04?
[00:57] <urlin2u> islam__, cam up and running?
[00:57] <islam__> now I'm not going to log in to windows again forever
[00:57] <wolfe213_> blsh0p: skype is in the software center under partners or whatever
[00:57] <yaerkin> redragon_: That's really weird.  Try 'ping -I eth1' (that is a capital i)
[00:57] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, yes you can change it to static
[00:57] <blsh0p> but it says its for 10.04
[00:57] <islam__> urlin2u: yes and thanx to you bro
[00:57] <wolfe213_> blsh0p: well install it and find out I guess
[00:57] <urlin2u> islam__, I was just guessing cool>
[00:58] <blsh0p> affirmative, wolfe213
[00:58] <zhcb> linux by YLMF is the best
[00:58] <islam__> now I can run the exe files, webcam, and every thing is better than windows, never gonna login to windows again
[00:58] <JusticeZero> aargh hate windows.. still at a loss how to get updates though!
[00:58] <islam__> thanx to you mate, n you guys are the BEST
[00:58] <starpwnage> gentoo64, do i keep auto lo
[00:58] <Gentoo64> islam__, enjoy no viruses
[00:59] <starpwnage> iface lo intet loopback
[00:59] <zhcb> byby
[00:59] <redragon_> yaerkin, whats even weirder is that both machine exhibit the same issue
[00:59] <islam__> is there any where I can recommend you guys or some how to say thank you ?
[00:59] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, yes
[00:59] <islam__> or help linux be number one in the world ?
[00:59] <starpwnage> 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] <jseongtae76_> Hello, everyone
[01:00] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, press esc to exit insert mode, then type :x
[01:00] <JusticeZero> to help it be number one get more people using it. the more users the faster it improves.
[01:00] <jseongtae76_> my apparmor has error
[01:00] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, or use nano, its just ctrl+x with nano
[01:00] <jseongtae76_> How I solve this error
[01:00] <redragon_> yaerkin, in all my years i've not seen a box blatently disreguard routing like that
[01:00] <jseongtae76_> error message:.: 35: Can't open /lib/apparmor/functions
[01:00] <islam__> I'm allready doing that on facebook and twitter
[01:00] <jseongtae76_> I was change mysql directory
[01:01] <JusticeZero> ok, gonna try the forums, this is beyond annoying.
[01:01] <islam__> by the way the best thing about ubuntu is you guys, you are making every thing just easy
[01:01] <geth022> Anyone have any idea what i can do to get my output jack working? Toshiba L655D
[01:01] <neil_m> group hug?
[01:01] <urlin2u> JusticeZero, are you using wine?
[01:02] <wolfe213_> islam__: yeah, uninstalling my whole system just a few minute ago by accident was real EASY
[01:02] <JusticeZero> I do..
[01:02] <wolfe213_> heh
[01:02] <lakcaj> 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?
[01:02] <JusticeZero> not at the moment, mind..
[01:02] <Gentoo64> wolfe213, unlucky lol
[01:02] <calimike20> 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] <wolfe213> yeah well how was I suppose to know running tasksel and unselecting mythtv would uninstall everything
[01:02] <islam__> wolfe213: you can do every thing easily by asking those marvilas ppl here
[01:02] <urlin2u> JusticeZero, go to the wine ppa and make sure the key is correct and your apt/get sources.list ois correct.
[01:02] <JusticeZero> I have no idea what signature goes to wine, and nothing said *wine* anywhere.
[01:03] <Gentoo64> calimike20, should be the same ctrl alt + f1
[01:03] <wolfe213> I kinda figured it would only remove the mythtv stuff and leave the standard ubuntu base and desktop
[01:03] <wenexx> hey there
[01:03] <starpwnage> i still cant ping anything :(
[01:03] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, did you reoot?
[01:03] <Gentoo64> reboot*
[01:03] <yaerkin> redragon_: Are you 100% certain that the interface names correspond to the NICs you think they do?
[01:03] <calimike20> Gentoo, I can escape out, but I only see a blank black screen
[01:03] <islam__> wolfe213: just come here any time and ask the guys here they already helped me with a thousand issues already
[01:03] <calimike20> no login prompt.
[01:03] <Gentoo64> calimike20, tried all the f's?
[01:03] <zakidine> okay, i manager to restore the user name on the gnome bar
[01:03] <redragon_> yaerkin, what do you mean?
[01:04] <urlin2u> JusticeZero, may bne in .etc/apt/sources.list.d
[01:04] <zakidine> but the "sound icon" is still disapeared
[01:04] <urlin2u> be
[01:04] <zakidine> how can i get it back?
[01:04] <calimike20> Gentoo, I tried them all.
[01:04] <Gentoo64> calimike20, no idea :s sorry!
[01:04] <starpwnage> restarting now
[01:04] <yaerkin> redragon_: You've got 2 interfaces.  Are you absolutely sure that eth0 is the card you think it is?
[01:04] <petester> 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] <yaerkin> (and vice versa)
[01:05] <redragon_> eth0 is working fine
[01:05] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, you can bring up / down the net interface but i just reboot after changes
[01:05] <wolfe213> islam__: yeah well I'm familiar with the process.. been using debian for like 12 years and I'm linux+ certified
[01:05] <petester> i think curl stopped working like 2 years ago
[01:05] <calimike20> Can someone remind me which file in etc was responsible for displaying the login terminal tty (like for f1 to f12)?
[01:05] <redragon_> I show links, if I do arping to the 100 subnet it returns the mac of the 104 subnet
[01:05] <starpwnage> still unkown host
[01:05] <Gentoo64> wolfe213, how did you manage to "uninstall" ubuntu by accident?
[01:06] <geth022> 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] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, maybe you did the net config wrong? does lspci show the network card?
[01:06] <wolfe213> 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] <starpwnage> gentoo64, http://pastebin.com/Rw61J4Ep
[01:06] <JusticeZero> Seemed to be in order..?
[01:06] <wolfe213> nor would it have just restarted gdm while I had the reinstall running in an xterm
[01:06] <lakcaj> So nobody is using a gmail notifier right now that actually works?
[01:06] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, theres no lo in there
[01:07] <Gentoo64> wolfe213, ah ok
[01:07] <wolfe213> 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] <JusticeZero> 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] <starpwnage> gentoo64, i left the other stuff in there, its further up, not in that document though
[01:07] <starpwnage> gentoo64, and it does show the ethernet controller which is what im using
[01:07] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, can you ping the router?
[01:08] <starpwnage> gentoo64, if i can find the ip for the router
[01:08] <urlin2u> 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] <Gentoo64> probably 192.168.1.1 or 0.1
[01:08] <starpwnage> gentoo64, it would be defult gateway in cmd right?
[01:08] <Gentoo64> yes
[01:09] <JusticeZero> not sure I understand what you mean by that.
[01:09] <starpwnage> ok, it says network is unreachable
[01:09] <redragon_> yaerkin, further the udev rules show the same mac for the respective output from ifconfig
[01:09] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, is your cable plugged in? lol
[01:09] <starpwnage> yes
[01:09] <urlin2u> JusticeZero, is this the ppa your using?
[01:10] <qin> lakcaj: What notifier?
[01:10] <urlin2u> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa JusticeZero
[01:10] <Gentoo64> starpwnage, is this on the server? can you paste the ifconfig -a
[01:10] <geth022> Where could i go to get more specific help?
[01:10] <JusticeZero> it should be?
[01:10] <Gentoo64> geth022, in the system settings somewhere theres sound options have you played with that?
[01:10] <starpwnage> i have my main pc which im using now (windows) and the server connected to the rotuer via ethernet cable
[01:11] <urlin2u> JusticeZero, this I think is the correct without really knowing to be honest. http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/6
[01:11] <geth022> Gentoo64: yeah, i checked the only available option in hardware and there wasn't much i could do
[01:11] <JusticeZero> 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] <geth022> Gentoo64: would there be another channel with more help like what i'm looking for?
[01:12] <Gentoo64> geth022, maybe try making a forum thread on it if no one has any clues here
[01:12] <wenexx> do someone know how to find/enter the nautilus channel? I have some ideas like mindcontrol and stuff like that ;-)
[01:12] <bazhang> wenexx, nautilus channel?
[01:12] <urlin2u> 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] <Gentoo64> geth022, not sure tbh, a lot of specific channels are very quiet
[01:13] <starpwnage_> im back, sorry
[01:13] <JusticeZero> and it's been installed for a couple months. It's only recently that I became unable to get any Ubuntu updates.
[01:13] <geth022> where are the most commonly used forums hidden at?
[01:13] <starpwnage_> ifconfig x packets and tx packets seems like they were sent, no errors or none dropped
[01:13] <JusticeZero> dual booting is a huge hassle.
[01:13] <Gentoo64> geth022, just google ubuntu forums
[01:13] <Gentoo64> youll find it
[01:14] <wenexx> 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] <urlin2u> JusticeZero, really  have 7 OS's on one Hd it is easy once you know hopw, two are windows.
[01:14] <urlin2u> I
[01:14] <Gentoo64> 7?
[01:14] <urlin2u> yes
[01:14] <Gentoo64> why on earth? lol
[01:15] <Gentoo64> id consideer that bloat
[01:15] <urlin2u> Gentoo64, why not8 actually counting the virtual
[01:15] <xangua> wenexx: irc.gnome.org is not irc freenote
[01:15] <JusticeZero> 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] <urlin2u> Gentoo64, it is nice to know how how other OS's run if you want to help.
[01:16] <qin> JusticeZero: You need to discover virtualization yet.
[01:17] <starpwnage_> gentoo64, would i be able to just setup a webserver using ubuntu desktop? then install mysql, apache and other stuff?>
[01:17] <JusticeZero> i'm using a netbook, here
[01:17] <Gentoo64> starpwnage_, yea of course
[01:17] <wenexx> xangua thanks so I try empathy again...
[01:17] <Gentoo64> starpwnage_, tbh youll prob find it easier if your not comfortable with cli
[01:17] <Gentoo64> starpwnage_, that way youll have the gui for all the network stuff etc
[01:18] <starpwnage_> gentoo64, well i might just try that for now then, and come back to this if i ever get more experince
[01:18] <Gentoo64> ok
[01:18] <Stelpa> Hey, I am having a bit of trouble with my command line... i screwed something up a long time ago, and never bothered to fix it, but it is bugging me; whenever i start up my command line, it begins with the following text;
[01:18] <Stelpa> mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/cgroup/cpu/user/7957': No such file or directory
[01:18] <Stelpa> bash: /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/7957/tasks: No such file or directory
[01:19] <starpwnage_> thanks for all the help though
[01:19] <Stelpa> any idea how i can fix that?
[01:19] <Gentoo64> Stelpa, it means its not there
[01:20] <JusticeZero> bbiab
[01:20] <Stelpa> Gentoo64: what's not there? it prints this message every time i start up the terminal
[01:20] <Gentoo64> it means that dir doesnt exist
[01:20] <Stelpa> what directory?
[01:21] <Gentoo64> /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/7957/tasks
[01:21] <Stelpa> i haven't typed anything yet when it prints this
[01:21] <Stelpa> so i should make it?
[01:21] <Gentoo64> no
[01:21] <Gentoo64> dont know why its saying that
[01:21] <Stelpa> neither do i :<
[01:21] <Gentoo64> i dont know what you messed up before :s
[01:21] <Gentoo64> a long time ago...
[01:21] <Stelpa> lol, i dont remember :s
[01:22] <Stelpa> i will try making the directory, to see what it does
[01:22] <Stelpa> who knows :p
[01:22] <Gentoo64> it may get rid of the error
[01:22] <Gentoo64> you might get a new one
[01:22] <Gentoo64> either way, somethings wrong
[01:22] <bzbee> sladen: ATTENTION: #caretown has moved to #gnaa

[01:24] <Stelpa> i did it, Gentoo64; the error changed
[01:24] <Stelpa> it is now:

[01:25] <Gentoo64> Stelpa, your not gona be able to fix it by manually making all them files
[01:26] <Stelpa> what can i do then, Gentoo64?
[01:26] <Gentoo64> i dont know, if it was ages ago you messed something up and its bothering you then maybe reinstall?
[01:27] <MrFisherman> 11.10 help?
[01:27] <Gentoo64> ubuntu+1 i think
[01:27] <MrFisherman> im logging in as root automaticallfor some reason
[01:28] <Stelpa> Gentoo64: !
[01:28] <Stelpa> Gentoo64: i proved you wrong!
[01:28] <Stelpa> i fixed it manually by making all the files!
[01:28] <Stelpa> lol :P
[01:28] <Gentoo64> good for you :)
[01:28] <Bustin> is there a bug with realtek ethernet cards within linux?
[01:28] <Stelpa> i just changed the permissions on the files so access wasn't denies, and yay! :D
[01:28] <Corey> !oneric | MrFisherman
[01:28] <Stelpa> no reinstall required ^_^
[01:28] <Gentoo64> Bustin, 8168?
[01:28] <Stelpa> ty Gentoo64 :)
[01:28] <Bustin> yes
[01:28] <Bustin> how to solve this crap
[01:28] <Gentoo64> Bustin, yes there is
[01:29] <Gentoo64> buy a new NIC if you're serious
[01:29] <Gentoo64> kernel dont support 8168 properly
[01:29] <Bustin> ew...
[01:29] <Gentoo64> i bought an intel nic to replace my onboard 8168
[01:29] <Bustin> wondered why I couldn't get a secure connection to any mirrors with any distro
[01:29] <Gentoo64> not just that, it ocmpletely cuts out forcing a cmos reset
[01:29] <Gentoo64> you can install the driver
[01:29] <Bustin> so it's pretty much pointless installing Ubuntu until I replace the card
[01:30] <Gentoo64> but good luck with updates
[01:30] <Bustin> updates as in for the driver, or ubuntu itself?
[01:30] <Gentoo64> Bustin, you can install it, then replace the card. it uses the 8169 driver
[01:31] <Gentoo64> Bustin, kernel updates, and dist upgrades
[01:31] <Gentoo64> well they broke my downstairs comps connection anyway, even with the driver installed. its just a dodgy card on linux
[01:32] <Gentoo64> Bustin, id buy an intel one tbh youll have no problems ever
[01:33] <Bustin> Gentoo64: was looking @ this - http://ncix.com/products/?sku=15706&vpn=PWLA8391GTBLK&manufacture=Intel
[01:33] <scwizard> when I passwd myname it also changes the root password, what's going on here?
[01:33] <Bustin> anywho, thanks.
[01:33] <Gentoo64> yes theyre all good. i use the CT but theyre all 100% supported in linux
[01:34] <dr_willis> scwizard:  root password? You mean the password you give to 'sudo
[01:34] <dr_willis>  ?
[01:34] <scwizard> dr_willis: yes
[01:34] <Gentoo64> scwizard, thats not root pass that user
[01:34] <dr_willis> scwizard:  t hat makes perfect sence.. since the sudo password is theusers password.
[01:34] <Gentoo64> sudo allows users to do any command
[01:34] <dr_willis> if differnt users had sudo rights. they each give their own password.
[01:34] <scwizard> ok
[01:35] <scwizard> how do I make it so that myname doesn't have sudo rights?
[01:35] <dr_willis> You have other users with sudo rights?
[01:35] <scwizard> dr_willis: no
[01:35] <scwizard> just one user total actually
[01:35] <Gentoo64> why do it then?
[01:35] <scwizard> let me create another tho
[01:35] <dr_willis> scwizard:  then you DONT want to do that. :) :P
[01:35] <webservfer> firefox wont let me save web pages :.(
[01:35] <Gentoo64> good luck doing ANYTHING lol
[01:35] <scwizard> dr_willis: kk, I'm going to go and create another user with sudo rights
[01:36] <Flannel> scwizard: deluser myname admin
[01:36] <dr_willis> newly made users would not have sudo rights by default scwizard
[01:36] <scwizard> yes by default
[01:36] <Gentoo64> scwizard, are you trying to make it like windows with a limited user?
[01:36] <dr_willis> scwizard:  why are you doing all this?
[01:36] <Gentoo64> the point of sudo is that you dont HAVE t use it
[01:36] <Gentoo64> ie everything is done as limited user
[01:36] <scwizard> but if I do adduser new_user --system
[01:36] <scwizard> then they do right?
[01:36] <notverygoodatthi> 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] <notverygoodatthi> 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] <FloodBot1> notverygoodatthi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:36] <notverygoodatthi> whew, wall of text=
[01:37] <Gentoo64> notverygoodatthi, it shouldnt have messed anything up if it didnt begin installing
[01:37] <Bustin> Gentoo64: any chance in the near future a fix will be released for that issue?
[01:37] <webservfer> how do i change permission on folder and files
[01:38] <Gentoo64> Bustin, i doubt it tbh its been around for years
[01:38] <Gentoo64> maybe one day...
[01:38] <DeLorean731> 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] <notverygoodatthi> it was in the process of installing
[01:38] <wildbat> !permession | webservfer
[01:38] <Bustin> OH, one of those bugs.
[01:38] <Bustin> ew.
[01:38] <CluelessPerson> 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] <Gentoo64> DeLorean731, google fix windows mbr
[01:38] <Gentoo64> youll find it,
[01:38] <wildbat> !permission | oops  webservfer
[01:38] <DeLorean731> I have, I've tried a number of solutions
[01:38] <notverygoodatthi> when I went back, it was at the final "hey you need to reboot" message but with an option to go back
[01:38] <Gentoo64> Bustin, yea, no idea why its not been fixed
[01:39] <Gentoo64> notverygoodatthi, so what happens when you boot the livecd and go for anotheri nstall?
[01:39] <CluelessPerson> >.>
[01:39] <dr_willis> CluelessPerson:  you can do that i imagine.
[01:39] <Bustin> 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] <webservfer> permissions tap does nothing it just reverts back to defaul
[01:39] <Gentoo64> Bustin, yes, theres a driver you can manually install
[01:39] <Gentoo64> Bustin, but it breaks on updates
[01:39] <webservfer> i can't change anything
[01:40] <Bustin> Gentoo64: alright, so new NIC card it is, thanks. Lol
[01:40] <Gentoo64> 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] <scwizard> dr_willis: I want to change the name of the user with sudo rights
[01:40] <Gentoo64> if you get any problems reset the cmos
[01:40] <notverygoodatthi> 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] <scwizard> dr_willis: and I want the user that previously had sudo rights to be a regular user
[01:40] <Gentoo64> notverygoodatthi, how does it fail?
[01:41] <webservfer> just install it next to windows it so much easier
[01:41] <scwizard> so right now I have one user: Abe, Abe has sudo rights
[01:41] <scwizard> I want two users, Abe and Beth, where Beth has sudo rights and Abe doesn't
[01:41] <oldschool> 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] <dr_willis> scwizard:  why does it really matter. :)  but thats should be easialy doable.
[01:42] <notverygoodatthi> 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] <dr_willis> scwizard:  just be sure to make the 2nd admin user first.. then remove rights from the first one.
[01:42] <webservfer> scwizard the just set ade to not need a password to log in
[01:42] <Gentoo64> scwizard, what does it say when you run groups
[01:43] <qin> scwizard: man adduser; man deluser
[01:44] <notverygoodatthi> 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] <scwizard> 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] <notverygoodatthi> I think it was "disconnected from plymouth"
[01:44] <Gentoo64> scwizard, why dont you want sudo rights?
[01:44] <webservfer> 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] <Gentoo64> scwizard, has someone else got your password or something?
[01:45] <qin> scwizard: I think: sudo deluser Abe admin
[01:45] <qin> scwizard: Let me check
[01:45] <scwizard> Gentoo64: nono, I just want the user that doesn't have sudo rights to be named "Abe"
[01:45] <Gentoo64> lol ok
[01:45] <urlin2u> webservfer, any errors you like to pastebin, and be more exacting in the despription
[01:46] <webservfer> sure
[01:46] <Gentoo64> scwizard, they can both have sudo rights you know
[01:46] <scwizard> Gentoo64: duh, but I want there to exist a user named abe that doesn't have sudo rights
[01:46] <Gentoo64> webservfer, do you use apparmor?
[01:46] <qin> scwizard: All would be, as Abe: sudo adduser Beth; sudo adduser Beth admin; sudo deluser Abu admin;
[01:47] <scwizard> kk
[01:47] <notverygoodatthi> 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] <scwizard> I dun get why people are so curious why I want to do what I want to do :/
[01:47] <webservfer> Gentoo64, apparmor?
[01:47] <scwizard> thaks qin
[01:47] <webservfer> i guess not
[01:47] <Gentoo64> webservfer, ok dw
[01:47] <qin> scwizard: Last part may need to be run as Beth.
[01:48] <webservfer> 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] <urlin2u> scwizard, we don't like to waste time and want to make sure a user actually knows what there doing.
[01:48] <urlin2u> their
[01:49] <scwizard> no urlin2u you mean they're
[01:50] <urlin2u> scwizard, oh thank you mister know it all.
[01:50] <urlin2u> :D
[01:50] <wladston> guys, looking for info on how to update ubuntu from 10.04 to 11.04 on an openvz vps.
[01:51] <aya_> Oo
[01:51] <urlin2u> wladston, you have to go up[ per distro
[01:51] <notverygoodatthi> can no one help me with my thing?
[01:51] <aya_> Explain
[01:51] <wladston> urlin2u: the thing is .... when I do a dist-upgrade, I break the box
[01:52] <Gentoo64> thats quite normal
[01:52] <oldschool> 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] <wladston> urlin2u: I was hoping someone here is familiar with running ubuntu on those cheap vps
[01:52] <scwizard> "Abe is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported." Abe's gonna get arrested :O
[01:53] <Gentoo64> scwizard, heh is that what it says now?
[01:53] <scwizard> yupyup
[01:53] <urlin2u> wladston, you can only go from LTS to LTS or up by distro, why it is breaking wil need more info.
[01:53] <Gentoo64> scwizard, the gona get arrested bit?
[01:53] <scwizard> nono
[01:53] <Gentoo64> ah ok :p
[01:54] <Gentoo64> theres some script that says funny stuff with sudo
[01:54] <wladston> urlin2u: right.. thanks :)
[01:54] <Ibis> Gentoo64: Fortune?
[01:54] <wladston> urlin2u: what kind of info would help ?
[01:54] <Gentoo64> Ibis, idk what its called. on gentoo if you enable offensive when you install sudo it says insults
[01:54] <wladston> urlin2u: the box just doesn't bring the network or any service up
[01:54] <Ibis> Speaking of that, I recently switched from linuxmint and already missing it.
[01:54] <Gentoo64> when you enter wrong password etc
[01:55] <Ibis> ROFL
[01:55] <Ibis> Can you give me a sample?
[01:55] <Ibis> :P
[01:55] <Gentoo64> i dont have it enabled any more
[01:55] <Gentoo64> no swear words though
[01:55] <Gentoo64> just silly stuff
[01:55] <urlin2u> 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] <urlin2u> I
[01:56] <Flannel> Gentoo64: Gentoo64, Ibis: sudo visudo, then edit the line that says "Defaults" and add ,insults to the end of it
[01:56] <Gentoo64> ah ok
[01:56] <wladston> urlin2u: right. the dist upgrade runs cleanly. the problem probably happens because this vps don't have a REAL kernel
[01:56] <Gentoo64> lol never really looked into it
[01:57] <Bustin> Gentoo64: A bit OT, is there a way to replace unity with gnome 3? I am not a big fan of unity.
[01:57] <wladston> urlin2u: it's like a virtual kernel ... and I have to idea how to debug it
[01:57] <Bustin> but I do love gnome 3
[01:57] <Gentoo64> Bustin, it breaks ubuntu apparently
[01:57] <Gentoo64> not upposrted
[01:57] <Gentoo64> supported
[01:57] <Gentoo64> Bustin, i think the onl way is another distro for gnome 3 atm
[01:58] <Bustin> aka Fedora
[01:58] <qin> Bustin: 11.10 is gnome3 based, just wait couple of weeks.
[01:58] <rww> 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] <Bustin> or arch, and manually install
[01:58] <{-_-}> Bustin: you can use gnome-shell 2.32, it;s in the repos
[01:58] <notverygoodatthi> 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] <urlin2u> wladston, not really sure with vps either never ran one, 10.04 is longterm I would stay there really I gues.
[01:59] <urlin2u> guess
[01:59] <Gentoo64> notverygoodatthi, make a forum thread on it youll get more focus that way
[01:59] <wladston> 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] <Nautilus> what is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.ucf-dist ?
[01:59] <webservfer> how would i go about elevating user privileges?
[02:00] <Gentoo64> webservfer, what do you mean?
[02:01] <Gentoo64> use sudo?
[02:01] <macer1> Win7 and Ubuntu breaked at the same time, they are stack at splash screen in bootloader. OSX boots...my hard drive breaked :(?
[02:01] <webservfer> Gentoo64, i don't have the privileges needed to gain access to some files, such as my grub config file
[02:02] <Gentoo64> webservfer, use sudo
[02:02] <webservfer> just sudo?
[02:02] <Gentoo64> or gksudo for gui
[02:02] <Gentoo64> like gedit
[02:02] <Gentoo64> etc
[02:02] <Fishscene> 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] <webservfer> well i tried but i need to open the file with sudo in the command line right?
[02:03] <Gentoo64> webservfer, yes
[02:03] <Gentoo64> webservfer, use sudo vim/nano on the config or gksudo gedit on it
[02:03] <macer1> Fishscene: what client do you use? banshee? rhytmbox?
[02:03] <webservfer> ok so sudo gedit then the file name?
[02:03] <Fishscene> I bought it on Banshee, but I'm now at home on Rythmbox
[02:04] <Gentoo64> 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] <webservfer> ok thanks so much
[02:04] <Gentoo64> sudo will work but gksudo is the proper way
[02:05] <webservfer> Gentoo64, just did a check in my user settings I am not administrator can you help?
[02:06] <Gentoo64> what does groups say
[02:06] <qin> webservfer: Try: lsb_release -sc
[02:06] <webservfer> custom
[02:07] <webservfer> gin, what should i do that for?
[02:07] <webservfer> I'm running in bash shell, idk how that effects me
[02:07] <qin> webservfer: To know what version are you running.
[02:08] <webservfer> oh natty of course :)
[02:08] <macer1> no help with my question? my hard drive breaked?
[02:08] <qin> webservfer: Is it remove server?
[02:08] <webservfer> macer1, how
[02:09] <rasusto> hello i would like to know why my mac address changes to the default whenever i connect to a network
[02:09] <Fishscene> Does anyone know how to file a support request for purchasing music from the Ubuntu One Store?
[02:09] <macer1> webservfer: how what?
[02:10] <Praet0rian> sup all
[02:10] <webservfer> gin, no words of wisdom?
[02:10] <Jeruvy> FishFace: you should do that  https://one.ubuntu.com/help/contact/
[02:11] <a4> I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, I read a guide on installing Amarok (despite not running KDE) and it told me to enable the kubuntu backports repository and now when i check for updates it tells me i need to do a "partial upgrade". This isnt going to switch me to kubuntu is it?
[02:11] <Nautilus> can anyone tell me the size (and maybe date) of the default /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini in 10.04LTS ?
[02:11] <Guest84316> cant find you....
[02:11] <Fishscene> ok Thanks
[02:12] <Jeruvy> a4, no but you'll still have a lot of KDE installed so you probably could :)
[02:12] <a4> what will this "partial upgrade" do then Jeruvy? Put me on 11.10 beta?
[02:13] <Jeruvy> a4 think of partial upgrades as broken, since they have a high likeliness of doing that
[02:13] <soreau> Guest84316: See private message..
[02:13] <Jeruvy> a4 determine which package(s) are causing it and see if you can resolve those
[02:14] <webservfer> Jeruvy, do you know what the bash shell is?
[02:14] <a4> well its suggesting about 30 packages relating to kde libs and amarok files Jeruvy
[02:14] <urlin2u> a4, Amarok is in the ubuntu repo's
[02:14] <Jeruvy> a4, most of them should be fine.
[02:14] <bjv> 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] <a4> 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] <bjv> i could see them all when i did the advanced set up in the Installer?
[02:15] <webservfer> a4, well you should do it
[02:15] <urlin2u> a4, okay than, never used itjOpBnaZvsN
[02:16] <upgrdman> i was using an onboard ati video card. i just upgraded to an nvidia card. at first x wouldn't start so i uninstalled the catalyst packages and used a backup of my xorg.conf. now x starts. system > admin > additional drivers no longer shows anything. how can i install the nvidia drivers?
[02:16] <Praet0rian> Ibis, why the ctcp
[02:17] <Ibis> Just to see what chat client you use.
[02:18] <Praet0rian> I use BitchX usually but I cant turn off socks usage in it lol
[02:18] <Praet0rian> thats why I have to use this crap
[02:18] <webservfer> upgrdman, so you need the drivers? is that what your asking
[02:18] <starpwnage_> Hey, when i boot into ubuntu, i get a white screen with black lines, and then white with weird black things and lots of brackets... whats going on?
[02:18] <upgrdman> 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] <webservfer> upgrdman, did you try the synaptic package manager?
[02:19] <upgrdman> how would that be any different than apt-get?
[02:20] <webservfer> upgrdman, sometimes i have better luck with it and it will download the dependences need for the package
[02:20] <upgrdman> webservfer, i tried it too, same deps. same problems :(
[02:21] <webservfer> upgrdman, what about the addition drivers program?
[02:22] <w0_> hi.  running 11.04, unity -- what do you call the bar that pops up on the left? quicklaunch?
[02:22] <upgrdman> that's what i mentioned earlier. "system > admin > additional drivers no longer shows anything"
[02:22] <webservfer> upgrdman, can you download the package you need?
[02:23] <upgrdman> webservfer, i tried using nvidias package. it has problems, the image gets scaled and looks like analog vga despite using dvi
[02:24] <Raven> hello
[02:24] <w0_> shoot.  whatever it's called, how do I add/del programs on it?
[02:24] <webservfer> upgrdman, well i don't know much about hardware and linux, but i do know that not every graphic card will run on the kernal
[02:24] <webservfer> did you check for support?
[02:25] <Raven> i'm having an issue with a new install of server 11.04.  trying to set up static ip but it wont access internet afterwards.  I can access local network but nothing outside.

[02:36] <madbovine> can anyone help?
[02:36] <mikeypizano> does 10.10 have a safe mode or anything?
[02:36] <Xeronix> Man I'm having trouble beyond belief. How would I get Ubuntu to recognize/probe for a new network device?
[02:37] <aeon-ltd> madbovine: ask away, don't ask to ask
[02:37] <madbovine> I did ask
[02:37] <qin> BUG#590999
[02:37] <qin> grrr
[02:38] <angel56> Xeronix: find out exactly what network device you have, find out what module(s) support that device, insert the modules (modprobe) and then configure the device
[02:38] <Raven> does anyone have any idea why this server isn't getting outside access when static ip is assigned?
[02:38] <ThomasB2k> How can I make 720p video in VLC use less memory? I don't care about quality, just performance.
[02:38] <w0_> raven: what port?
[02:39] <angel56> Raven: did you define a default route and gw?
[02:39] <Raven> angel56 yes i did
[02:39] <w0_> raven: just htought I'd say, my ISP blocks all my good ports. =\
[02:39] <Xeronix> I modprobed for it
[02:39] <angel56> Raven: did you define dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf?
[02:39] <Raven> w0 the machine isn't hitting the internet at all
[02:39] <qin> ThomasB2k: reencode or framedroping (but it will rather help cpu than memory)
[02:40] <w0_> hmph
[02:40] <Raven> angel56 yes i did
[02:40] <Xeronix> 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] <angel56> Raven: can you ping the gateway address?
[02:40] <Xeronix> not too sure on that model number
[02:40] <Raven> angel56 yes
[02:40] <Praet0rian> su
[02:40] <Praet0rian> sup
[02:40] <jrod2> does anyone know what in 10.04 would cause my ssh/connections to get blocked to my server?
[02:40] <xangua> plu
[02:40] <angel56> Raven: can you ping google.com?
[02:41] <Praet0rian> jrod2, elaborate
[02:41] <Raven> no angel56 i can't
[02:41] <angel56> Raven: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[02:41] <Xeronix> 9271*
[02:41] <Praet0rian> Raven, run nslookup google.com and tell me what it says
[02:42] <aphixe> hey guys i followed this guide, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=153935         and well it worked once but when i rebooted it does not work anymore. i tried modprobe on step 4. but it said it needed to be ending in conf. and so i renamed it to bttv.conf and still no luck. how can i get bt878 to work.? always
[02:42] <cipherboy_loc> jrond2 I might be having similar issues. 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] <cipherboy_loc> Except I am running 11.04.
[02:42] <synackfin> 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] <Raven> Praet0rian nslookup is not installed at the moment
[02:43] <Praet0rian> cipherboy_loc, you'll have to remake yhour sshd private key btw when you upgrade
[02:43] <Raven> no angel56 i can't
[02:43] <angel56> Raven: then there is a problem getting through the gateway
[02:44] <Raven> angel56 http://paste.ubuntu.com/695949/ this is my config
[02:45] <angel56> 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] <angel56> Raven: and your static ip should be something 'normal' I usually start my static IPs at 150 or 200.
[02:46] <angel56> 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] <Raven> angel56 that is the way I have it configured and have no problems with any other machine
[02:46] <angel56> Raven: you have broadcast and gateway the same?
[02:46] <Raven> angel56 my dhcp has certain ip's blocked out for static assignment that is one of them
[02:47] <tonsofpcs> .254?
[02:47] <tonsofpcs> really? what kind of network is using .254 for broadcast?
[02:47] <Raven> it wont let me change the broadcast for some reason
[02:47] <angel56> Raven: well, if that works it is magic I never saw before
[02:47] <angel56> tonsofpcs: most networks use 254 for broadcast
[02:47] <Raven> it has worked for me for 5 years now
[02:48] <SubCool> Hey, someone help me with VNC. its acting weird. The screen goes black after two seconds. Its a very fast screen saver.
[02:49] <Tinybird> ususally, .254 is used as a net gate.
[02:49] <tonsofpcs> angel56: erm... .255 is broadcast in a /24
[02:49] <angel56> tonsofpcs: maybe it is 255 usually...been a long time. But he has both broadcast and gw on the same ip
[02:50] <Nautilus> tonsofpcs: hey there
[02:50] <starpwnage_> 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] <tonsofpcs> hi Nautilus
[02:51] <Nautilus> oops, afk moment
[02:51] <Raven> .255 for broadcast does not work
[02:51] <Tinybird> Raven: try .0
[02:51] <tonsofpcs> Raven: what are you trying to do?
[02:52] <allowoverride> x.x.x.255 is broadcast C class
[02:52] <Raven> tinybird still no luck
[02:53] <Tinybird> Raven: Emm, I really have no idea about that.
[02:53] <allowoverride> as in what you put for your default network settings in /etc/network/interfaces when setting as static
[02:54] <allowoverride> if your on someone's network, not yours, then just set to dhcp
[02:54] <aphixe> hey anyone know how to get bt878 working? i followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=153935 but it only worked once
[02:55] <allowoverride> aphixe: whats bt878?
[02:56] <Raven> well its bed time ty for trying all
[02:56] <allowoverride> raven what was the question?
[02:57] <allowoverride> :|
[02:58] <Praet0rian> sup
[02:58] <aphixe> allowoverride, it is a tv tuner card.. also known as a haupagge wintv card with chipset bt878
[03:01] <allowoverride> aphixe: are you on ubuntu 7.10
[03:01] <allowoverride> ?
[03:01] <allowoverride> did you modprobe -v bttv?
[03:02] <allowoverride> what did that yeild?
[03:03] <KMNsadface> has anyone used RESCTUX to repair Grub2 and MBR?
[03:06] <allowoverride> aphixe: is wintv on the HCL list? did you check?
[03:07] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[03:07] <allowoverride> wintv sounds like you have to be  a wizard and write your on driver/mod

[03:17] <redragon_> yaerkin, it was networking not the servers
[03:19] <rocktop_> this is iptables -I INPUT -m geoip --src-cc CN -j DROP for drop all connections incoming from China how to use same to block all countries except  FR and US ?
[03:19] <redragon_> i would say have an allow for FR and US then a general drop
[03:20] <loganhoup> 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
[03:20] <rocktop_> redragon_: what is the syntax I should to use ?
[03:21] <redragon_> iptables -I INPUT -m geoip --src-cc US -j ACCEPT
[03:21] <redragon_> iptables -I INPUT -m geoip --src-cc FR -j ACCEPT
[03:21] <redragon_> iptables -I INPUT -j DROP
[03:21] <redragon_> crap
[03:21] <redragon_> thats backward
[03:21] <w0_> us since you speak english
[03:22] <redragon_> so do this
[03:22] <redragon_> iptables -I INPUT -m geoip --src-cc US -j ACCEPT
[03:22] <redragon_> iptables -I INPUT 2 -m geoip --src-cc FR -j ACCEPT
[03:22] <w0_> sorry you're helpin someone else. my bad
[03:22] <redragon_> iptables -I INPUT 3 -j DROP
[03:22] <loganhoup> 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 :/
[03:22] <loganhoup> The system also locks up completely and I have to restart.
[03:23] <loganhoup> Thank you in advance for anyone who can help me out.
[03:24] <redragon_> sorry loganhoup i'm not super at desktop stuff :)
[03:24] <redragon_> rocktop_, that make sense?  do the last 3 i put in
[03:24] <redragon_> rocktop_, that way it will accept from US, and FR but drop everything else
[03:24] <rocktop_> redragon_: what about this iptables -P INPUT DROP
[03:25] <rocktop_> iptables -I INPUT -m geoip ! --src-cc FR,US -j DROP
[03:25] <redragon_> no exp with geoip but that may work if it accepts multiple src-cc
[03:26] <loganhoup> I'm currently running the "nvidia highly experimental 3d driver" and it's working but it kind of scares me. I've only been using it a few minutes so I'm not sure what to expect yet
[03:27] <zakidine> Hi!
[03:27] <notverygoodatthi> hello people of #ubuntu
[03:27] <loganhoup> Hi.
[03:27] <zakidine> hello notverygoodatthi
[03:27] <redragon_> rocktop_, http://fpaste.org/rUR9/
[03:27] <redragon_> hello
[03:28] <rocktop_> redragon_: because I have too many countries I want to accept I can use one rules for that ?
[03:28] <notverygoodatthi> idk if it's kosher to link to a problem posted elsewhere, but I haven't gotten any forum responses yet here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1849144
[03:28] <notverygoodatthi> and I could really use some help
[03:28] <zakidine> i have a question, weeks ago, i found some pictures of an ubuntu-gnome desktop that has the same board as MacosX
[03:28] <zakidine> the menu of the opened window shown on the board
[03:28] <rocktop_> redragon_: what 2 and 3 mean on that rules ?
[03:29] <zakidine> does anyone know where i can get that?
[03:29] <jtrucks> has anyone used SpiderOak with ubuntu?
[03:29] <loganhoup> nope. Screen scrashed. Just blank white screen this time...
[03:30] <redragon_> insert it as rule 2 or 3
[03:30] <redragon_> without a number -I inserts it as rule 1
[03:30] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> ^_^
[03:30] <rocktop_> redragon_: look like id ?
[03:31] <w0_> what's the best editor for the launcher bar?
[03:32] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: GUI or CLI?
[03:32] <w0_> gui -- unity
[03:32] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I like using gedit.
[03:32] <w0_> 11.04
[03:32] <w0_> oh
[03:32] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: Gedit.
[03:32] <w0_> what files should I edit?
[03:32] <redragon_> rocktop_, huh?
[03:33] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Whatever file you should be editing.
[03:33] <w0_> oh
[03:33] <w0_> not to confuse you == sorry
[03:33] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: Follow a tutorial on how to do this, and it will mention exactly which file you want to edit.
[03:33] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> What are you trying to achieve?
[03:33] <w0_> the launcher bar that appeasrs when I float my mouse on the left ..
[03:33] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> If you don't mind me asking.
[03:33] <w0_> how do I change what programs are on there?
[03:34] <w0_> sorry for the mis-comm
[03:34] <zakidine> i found some pictures of an ubuntu-gnome desktop that has the same board as MacosX
[03:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Ah that's easy.
[03:34] <zakidine> the menu of the opened window shown on the board
[03:34] <zakidine> does anyone know where i can get that?
[03:34] <notverygoodatthi> has anyone taken a look at the thread?
[03:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: Click on an icon. Then HOLD your mouse click button.
[03:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> It will sorta "pop" and enable you to move them around.
[03:35] <w0_> ubuntusawr[xd]: k.  that will let me remove items, how do I add?
[03:35] <w0_> (cool nick btw)
[03:35] <w0_> heh
[03:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: To ADD more icons to it, you can open up a program of your choice, then on the Unity launcher bar, right-click, THEN select "Keep in  luancher". and it will stay there.
[03:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Thankies. ^_^
[03:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: You remove items by right clicking.
[03:35] <w0_> haha
[03:36] <w0_> that was easy
[03:36] <w0_> thanks!! =)
[03:36] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> You MOVE / Change the order of icons by "Left clicking ONCE AND HOLD". Click and hold. Then you move the icon up or down.
[03:36] <w0_> am I a wierdo for saying I like unity? =P
[03:36] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Now push and hold "SUPER" button on your keyboard. (the windows logo)
[03:37] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> And you'll see numbers on them icons.
[03:37] <zakidine> so no answer for me :'(
[03:37] <w0_> right.  got that.
[03:37] <loganhoup> 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 :/
[03:37] <rocktop_> redragon_: hi please check this is correct http://pastebin.com/UDr7TN9g ?
[03:37] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Push that number and it instantly luanches, or UN-minimize your minimized programs
[03:38] <w0_> ubuntusawr[xd]: very nice.  I do appreciate it!
[03:38] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: Unity Launcher is the correct term. You can call it the task bar, but I like the new "Unity Launcher" term better.
[03:38] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> You're welcome.
[03:38] <notverygoodatthi> some help please? again, question thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1849144 which I link because it's a long enough story to be a nuisance in chat
[03:38] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I'm in love with Unity.
[03:38] <xangua> !repeat | loganhoup
[03:38] <redragon_> rocktop_, if you have no iptables to start with you can drop the numbers and change -I to -A and your good
[03:38] <w0_> wtf is up with 'wayland'?
[03:39] <redragon_> otherwise just do -I on the ACCEPTS and -A on the DROP and your good
[03:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: 'wayland'? Where do you see that at?
[03:39] <alfplayer> Hello. Where does Gnome 2 or 3 store per-directory configuration "Arrange Items" (Manually, By Name, By Size, etc.)?
[03:39] <redragon_> http://pastebin.com/VgxjURz2
[03:39] <sianhulo> peps, ubuntu has a firewall(by default)
[03:39] <redragon_> rocktop_, like that
[03:39] <alfplayer> that's a Nautilus config
[03:39] <sianhulo> i've tried 3 apps than need port forwadding and neither of them worked
[03:40] <w0_> hmmm  ubuntusawr, maybe it's old newz that fizzled..  supposed to be a replacement for x11
[03:41] <w0_> wiki.ubuntu.com/wayland
[03:41] <MasterOfMinutia> How does one change the default TTL on 11.04?  (sysctl is ineffective so far)
[03:41] <rww> w0_: Wayland is a replacement for Xorg. It's not going to be in Ubuntu any time soon, it's a rather long-term thing.
[03:42] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> w0_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wayland          <------ Case sensitive URL here.
[03:42] <w0_> wehat browser are you using that is case sensitive? =)
[03:43] <w0_> nm I feel dumb
[03:43] <w0_> sorry
[03:43] <Ubuntusawr[xD]>  w0_: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/smoke.png <---- Looks cool.
[03:44] <w0_> ubuntusawr[xd]: very nice. =)
[03:45] <zakidine> okay
[03:45] <zakidine> i'll ask my question again, it's the third time !!!
[03:45] <w0_> sup zakidine
[03:45] <w0_> ?
[03:45] <zakidine> (calm down) okay, hum
[03:45] <sianhulo> somebody knows if ubuntu has a firewall that unable port forwadding?
[03:46] <zakidine> w0_,  hi, my question, i've seen some weeks ago a board (macosx like) of an ubuntu gnome desktop
[03:46] <renancoelho> Hi there, is there a simple command to upgrade minitube to its latest version? Vids aren't working on it for me...
[03:46] <zakidine> that has the menu of an opened page on it
[03:46] <zakidine> just like macosx style
[03:46] <xangua> renancoelho: add minitube ppa
[03:46] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: Link or example please?
[03:46] <zakidine> i'm lookin for it, can't remember it name
[03:47] <w0_> what about it seems like a mac?
[03:47] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Haxers/themers usually jsut has skills to make their desktop look like mac.
[03:47] <zakidine> Ubuntusawr[xD],  if i had a link, i wouldnt be here
[03:47] <rocktop_> redragon_: itdosn't work with me
[03:47] <w0_> (I just got used to the top buttons on the left!! [yes, I know how to change that.])
[03:47] <zakidine> w0_,  yes but it's not a dock, like people answer me
[03:47] <w0_> hmm
[03:47] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> It's a Global Menu bar.
[03:47] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> With notifications.
[03:48] <zakidine> Ubuntusawr[xD],  humm a link?
[03:48] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <misaq> hello. how can I recover all my linux partitions and update my boot menu?
[03:48] <jtrucks> 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] <jtrucks> like... 2 hours? 4 hours?
[03:49] <w0_> jtrucks >1hr
[03:49] <renancoelho> xangua: Thanks!
[03:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: Menu bar at top: http://cdn.ubergizmo.com/photos/2010/10/unity-ubuntu-one.jpg
[03:49] <rww> jtrucks: Depends on the package set. Does it have a desktop installed or is it server? Bunch of extra packages or no?
[03:49] <jtrucks> rww: headless server. no X
[03:49] <misaq> how can I recover my Linux partitions?
[03:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: So what are you really here asking for? A mac-like theme for Ubunut?
[03:49] <zakidine> too small  i can't see it
[03:49] <renancoelho> xangua: but how do I add that?
[03:49] <jtrucks> rww: a fair number of extra packages, yes
[03:49] <zakidine> not a theme gosh, i'm lookin for that bar
[03:49] <zakidine> i want it
[03:50] <xangua> renancoelho: google add minitube ppa
[03:50] <misaq> how can I recover my Linux partitions if I had Ubuntu and then installed Red Hat Linux 9 on it?
[03:50] <renancoelho> xangua: ok, thanks!
[03:50] <rocktop_> 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] <xangua> zakidine: if you mean a dock there are plenty of them, explain clear
[03:50] <rww> 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] <xangua> docky, cairo dock, avant zakidine
[03:50] <misaq> can anyone help me?
[03:50] <jtrucks> cool.
[03:50] <jtrucks> yeah, I get 1 - 2 MB/s on this machine.
[03:50] <jtrucks> thanks folks.

[03:51] <misaq> jtrucks: do you know how I can recover my Linux partitions?
[03:51] <rww> jtrucks: doing it remotely or locally?
[03:51] <jtrucks> misaq: If I knew, I would have answered.
[03:52] <jtrucks> rww: remote, w/ console access if needed.
[03:52] <zakidine> xangua, why do you guys hate me, i'm not talkin about a doc, nor a theme
[03:52] <almoxarife> misaq: you wrote over the partition and now want to restore what you wrote over?
[03:52] <rww> jtrucks: good good
[03:52] <jtrucks> last time I upgraded was a looong time ago, and I couldn't remember how long iit took.
[03:52] <KMNsadface> hello, has anyone used Rescatux to recover either Ubuntu/linux or Windows?
[03:52] <misaq> jtrucks: thanks.
[03:53] <zakidine> humm Ubuntusawr[xD]  i disabled unity (not too much into it) should i unable it so i can have that?
[03:53] <jtrucks> 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] <loganhoup> 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] <xangua> zakidine: then explain clear like I said
[03:53] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <sianhulo> 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] <sianhulo> is ubuntu somehow blocking por forwadding?
[03:53] <rww> 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] <rww> jtrucks: wouldn't surprise me either way on it working or not
[03:53] <misaq> is there a tool to Find Linux partitions and update the boot grub?
[03:54] <jtrucks> rww: this is stock on boot.
[03:54] <jtrucks> never mucked with it
[03:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: The point of the Launcher tray on the LEFT side is like a windows 7    Task Bar.
[03:54] <rww> jtrucks: it should automatically switch it over then
[03:54] <jtrucks> sweet.
[03:54] <jtrucks> that's what happened on the last several upgrades...
[03:54] <redragon_> rocktop_, post your rules real quick
[03:54] <jtrucks> this box has been around a while.
[03:54] <jtrucks> thanks for the tips
[03:54] <misaq> can anyone help me?
[03:55] <redragon_> i'm packing up to go home wee
[03:56] <jtrucks> misaq: perhaps you should clarify what you mena by 'recover your partitions'
[03:56] <misaq> the name of tool?
[03:56] <zakidine> i don't know
[03:56] <zakidine> anyway thanks
[03:56] <zakidine> i'll go look for that by my self
[03:56] <zakidine> like a grown man, thank you guys again
[03:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: I know you can not have that "mac bar", without a dock or some program that does that.
[03:56] <zakidine> bonne nuit!!
[03:56] <misaq> jtrucks: where is that tool?
[03:57] <jtrucks> misaq: I meant you should explain more what it is you are trying to do.
[03:57] <jtrucks> misaq: for what?
[03:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Or some weird Desktop Environment.
[03:57] <jtrucks> 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] <jtrucks> soemthing else?
[03:58] <zakidine> Ubuntusawr[xD],  i think i can, the page i had read did not talk about docks
[03:58] <KMNsadface> 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] <misaq> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Not mention it, they're creating an illusion.
[03:59] <jtrucks> misaq: fix your boot loader, perhaps.
[03:59] <jtrucks> is it grub?
[04:00] <misaq> jtrucks: yes. \how?
[04:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: When you do find it, please post the link here. :)
[04:01] <ex0s> 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] <zakidine> yes i will :D
[04:01] <zakidine> thank you Ubuntusawr[xD]
[04:01] <zakidine> merci!! j'y vais
[04:01] <redragon_> okay time to go home
[04:10] <Technicus> 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.
[04:10] <zakidine> Ubuntusawr[xD],  http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TAAoVoa2p2I/AAAAAAAABHs/7o9mQfzI1g0/s800/Desk%201_017.png
[04:10] <loganhoup> 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 :/
[04:11] <Name141> !ati
[04:11] <KM0201> dump 3D crap.... problem solved.. :)
[04:11] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: That's Unity menu.
[04:12] <loganhoup> Actually, even without the 3d stuff it crashes
[04:12] <loganhoup> and does the same thing...
[04:12] <starpwnage> could someone test and see if they can connect to my server:  121.216.66.97:8088
[04:12] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: The Global Menu I mentioned earlier.
[04:12] <loganhoup> It's definitely more than just a 3d issue
[04:12] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Yea, it's mac-ish. That's a default feature. In fact, that's what Unity Is.
[04:12] <Name141> Anyone know if I should be able to use a 4670 pretty well in Ubuntu ?
[04:13] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: What version of Ubuntu are you using? This is available in Ubuntu 11.04
[04:13] <Mokilok> @name141 You can download their ISO and boot it to test how it runs before installing.
[04:14] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Name141: 4670?
[04:14] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> starpwnage: Why not just proxy it?
[04:14] <Name141> 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] <jtrucks> 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] <Name141> Ubuntusawr[xD]: ATi card
[04:15] <lakcaj> 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?
[04:15] <rww> jtrucks: I'
[04:15] <rww> jtrucks: I'd still say one or two.
[04:16] <jtrucks> cool thanks.
[04:16] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> starpwnage: It works!
[04:16] <jtrucks> here goes!
[04:16] <leave> Hello,everyone.Who can tell me if i remove .thumbnails frequently will damage my system? Thank a lot
[04:16] <loganhoup> 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] <starpwnage> ubuntusawr, thank you for testing it for me :D!
[04:16] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> starpwnage: Is that a plain and simple apache?
[04:16] <starpwnage> It means ive finally set up my old computer as a server
[04:17] <starpwnage> ubuntusawr[XD], it has phpmyadmin installed as well as mysql and php5
[04:17] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> starpwnage: http://www.litespeedtech.com/             <--- Heres what I been using as of lately and I like it. (php and apache on crack).
[04:17] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> A learning curve to it, but nice.
[04:18] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> starpwnage: You can just stick to what you have though.
[04:18] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Congratz.
[04:18] <starpwnage> yer, thanks though :D
[04:19] <starpwnage> i wish i could install cpanel :(, but its costly o.0
[04:19] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Name141: What about that ATI card?
[04:19] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> starpwnage: Use ISP Config.
[04:19] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> It's free.
[04:19] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> It works. I use it on a remote server my friend owns.
[04:19] <Name141> Ubuntusawr[xD]: Basically, I'm wondering if there is still the "Use nVidia when using Linux" war ?
[04:20] <starpwnage> alright, thanks for that to :P
[04:20] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> starpwnage: Theres even an ISPconfig demo. So destroy as much as you like there ;)
[04:21] <Mokilok> Name141: I'm running ATI 5870's with proprietry drivers fine. There was an initial dual display issue that was easily rectified
[04:21] <Mokilok> plenty of ATI /AMD support from what I can see
[04:21] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <Name141> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <Mokilok> Name141: Depends on the GUI you want. 11.04 is VERY windows 7'ish feel. I find it easier as a beginner
[04:24] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> <------------------- Enjoys this 11.04
[04:24] <Mokilok> name141: I'm also not having much hassle with 11.04 but your call
[04:24] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I have no hassle here.
[04:24] <Mokilok> name141: perhaps check out HCL's for both distro's. (Hardware Compatibility list)
[04:25] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Mokilok: How can I do that?
[04:25] <Name141> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Oh nvm
[04:25] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Dumb question.
[04:25] <zakidine> back, humm Ubuntusawr[xD]  have you seen the picture?
[04:25] <Name141> I have to rm e1000e, modprobe e1000e over and over till it 'connects'.  or in Windows7 , disable/reenable
[04:26] <Name141> er.. rmmod ?
[04:26] <Name141> (I forgot, it's been a while)
[04:27] <Mokilok> 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] <MasterOfMinutia> Anyone here know iptables halfway decently?  I simply wish to change my outbount packet TTL.
[04:28] <MasterOfMinutia> *outbound.
[04:29] <Name141> Mokilok: it looks like everyone has an issue with it
[04:29] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: Yes. Read my response?
[04:29] <Name141> Mokilok: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/nic-intel-82562v-2-10-100-not-recognized-e1000-may-be-the-correct-module-631734/ , might have a solution though ?
[04:30] <zakidine> Ubuntusawr[xD],  no, i had a connexion bug
[04:30] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> o_O
[04:30] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Okies.
[04:30] <zakidine> what was the answer ?
[04:30] <zakidine> (sorry my english is not good)
[04:30] <SubCool> Hey, someone help me with VNC. its acting weird. The screen goes black after two seconds. Its a very fast screen saver.
[04:30] <Name141> Mokilok: looks like some sourceforge people made up some new 'drivers' ?
[04:31] <SubCool> someone suggested something, but i wasnt around to ask him about it..
[04:31] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zakidine: I queried you. (Private message).
[04:31] <zakidine> Ah
[04:31] <Name141> Mokilok: I guess I could just put in the Microsoft PCI NIC.  It uses Tulip and never messed up.
[04:33] <Mokilok> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Name141: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport?action=show&redirect=HardwareCompatibility
[04:33] <starpwnage> 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] <Name141> 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] <rww> starpwnage: /var/www/
[04:34] <Akuma_s> Good night
[04:34] <starpwnage> rww, thank you :D
[04:34] <Mokilok> Name141: That would be my bet. That atleast gives you network connectivity to troubleshoot your issue.
[04:35] <Akuma_s> Just a question, my users-admin stalled, is any other way to modify users and groups?
[04:35] <Name141> Ubuntusawr[xD]: I don't see the Intel 82562V-2 listed.
[04:35] <Name141> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCardsIntel
[04:35] <BlackDalek> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Name141: You should just try this anyway. If you got a free drive, that will be nice.
[04:36] <Mokilok> Name141: Not every piece of hardware that works will be listed.
[04:36] <Name141> Mokilok: oh.
[04:37] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> It helps to have people submitting test results and such.
[04:37] <Mokilok> 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] <Mokilok> Also gives you the oppertunity to test 10.4 LTS vs 11.04 and see which you prefer
[04:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Name141: And the Narwhal looks cutes. How can you resist such a thing.
[04:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> (My real reason for switching, but don't tell anyone that).
[04:39] <urist_> I totally love Narwhals
[04:42] <Akuma_s> Darn, was so easy :S
[04:43] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Yea urist_! You tell em!
[04:44] <Akuma_s> This channel make me focus hehe
[04:44] <urist_> what's 11.10? I've never heard of that animal
[04:44] <Akuma_s> See ya and thanks
[04:44] <KM0201> !11,19
[04:44] <KM0201> !11,10
[04:44] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I wondered about that animal too.
[04:44] <KM0201> grr.
[04:44] <rww> !11.10
[04:44] <KM0201> rww: fingers are crossing tonight.. :)
[04:44] <urist_> Ocelot... that just reminds me of Lancelot
[04:45] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> http://www.poshpelts.com/images/cute-ocelot.jpeg             Yey a kitty!
[04:45] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Reminds me of a leopard.
[04:45] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Or Lynx it was?
[04:45] <urist_> 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] <urist_> blank*
[04:46] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> urist_: Hmm, lag issue?
[04:46] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> That's all I can think of from the top of my head. xD
[04:47] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> urist_: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+question/155488
[04:47] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> You had to shrink it for anything to show, right?
[04:47] <urist_> not sure it is lag, cause it doesn't become normal even if i wait...
[04:48] <urist_> that's right Ubuntusawr
[04:48] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Then that must be it.
[04:48] <urist_> i can only make it so big
[04:48] <urist_> after a certain size my browser and other windows blank out
[04:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <urist_> I'm actually using the "classic" gnome on my 11.04
[04:50] <urist_> unity was a bit too heavy for my piece of crap laptop
[04:50] <loganhoup> 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] <UbuntuBrandon> Hello all.
[04:51] <urist_> Hello UbuntuBrandon
[04:51] <UbuntuBrandon> How is everyone?
[04:51] <urist_> not too bad, yourself?
[04:51] <devish> UbuntuBrandon: f9
[04:51] <UbuntuBrandon> Pretty good. A little tired.
[04:51] <urist_> loganhoup, what version of ubuntu are u using?
[04:52] <devish> UbuntuBrandon: go to sleep
[04:52] <UbuntuBrandon> Lol, i've work to do. but i needed a little break.
[04:52] <devish> saturdays
[04:52] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <mamakin> hello
[04:53] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Then I just started metacity again. (Things went all well afterwards).
[04:53] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Hi there mamakin.
[04:53] <mamakin> I am a new user starting up with ubuntu 11.04, trying to resurrect a dell inspiron 600m
[04:53] <UbuntuBrandon> I actually really like Unity. It is a lot better looking that the classic interface.
[04:53] <mamakin> i see many old problems with broadcom BCM4309
[04:53] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mamakin: Cool beans.
[04:53] <devish> Ubuntusawr[xD]: impressive
[04:53] <mamakin> I'm having a lot of trouble finding a more recent info on getting the wireless working...
[04:54] <urist_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I started off with Unity, but after going back to classic I noticed a major improvement in performance
[04:54] <mamakin> any links/ideas?  All the old files / news links are from 2007, etc.
[04:54] <UbuntuBrandon> 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] <mamakin> don't seem to apply, most reference ndsiwrapper
[04:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mamakin: Okies. Maybe I can be of assistance.
[04:54] <mamakin> is there a more recent solution/etc?
[04:54] <urist_> 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] <Name141> Ubuntusawr[xD]: Narwhal ?
[04:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I'll need a memoment though.
[04:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Name141: Yes.
[04:54] <mamakin> i'm currenyl on puppy, which interestinyl works wonderfully
[04:55] <mamakin> instantly found card, wireless, .. very nice
[04:55] <Name141> Ubuntusawr[xD]: what narwhal ?
[04:55] <mamakin> natty
[04:55] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Name141: 11.04
[04:55] <mamakin> is that what you mean?
[04:55] <mamakin> (i'm still learning as I go here)
[04:55] <urist_> 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] <loganhoup> urist: 11.04
[04:55] <Name141> oh..
[04:55] <UbuntuBrandon> Technically there is only one Narwhal. lol
[04:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <loganhoup> Urist_:11.04 natty narwhal
[04:56] <Name141> I thought this was Charlie the Unicorn 3 for a min.
[04:56] <chirag_d_gr8> when i installed ubuntu 11.04 using wubi, i saw boot time error like Bad LUN Bad numbers_1-10)
[04:56] <UbuntuBrandon> I know, I just hope there is infact a way to move the dash button back to the panel in 11.10.
[04:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Example: Mawerick Meercat. Natty Narwhal. Next version is Oneiric Ocelot (alphabetical order).
[04:56] <rhin0> what kernel does 11.04 have -- I'm reading this: Ubuntu 11.04 Upgrade Linux Kernel to 2.6.39.0  & wonder if the standard install with updates gives you 2.6.39.0 (or later) ... mouse cursor freezing issues with inspiron (dell) m5010 and 11.04 thinking to upgrade kernel as: http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-04-upgrade-linux-kernel-to-2-6-39-0
[04:57] <urist_> loganhoup, I've heard of some driver issues with people using 11.04... I get the impression they released a few too many new visual changes and it might not have been as polished as we'd like
[04:57] <rhin0> not on machine in question
[04:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> UbuntuBrandon: Dash buttons? I'm a bit new to that term.
[04:57] <xangua> !info linux | rhin0
[04:57] <mamakin> Ubuntusawr[xD]: so yes, natty narwhal
[04:57] <UbuntuBrandon> Ubuntusawr[xD] the button, like the start button for windows.
[04:57] <mamakin> 11.04
[04:58] <urist_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I dont know the names of the bars either :P
[04:58] <rhin0> so I stand a chance by upgrading the kernel
[04:58] <rhin0> because natty is that 11.04 has 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 is available
[04:58] <henningvis>   I am not alone at last  Ubuntusawr[xD]
[04:58] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: Yes. I'm on Linux 3.0 kernal.
[04:58] <Name141> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> henningvis: Hehe, havin fun?
[04:59] <henningvis> yip
[04:59] <urist_> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Geeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwdddddd.
[04:59] <rhin0> 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] <rhin0> i'm running out of ideas
[04:59] <henningvis> staring and learning --also new to this world and it is facinating
[04:59] <Name141> Anything spectacular on 11.04 I would miss ?
[05:00] <UbuntuBrandon> urist_ I love the Unity interface. The dash lenses are excellent, by far my favorite UI of any OS.
[05:00] <urist_> UbuntuBrandon, amen... I think they are onto something. 11.10 looks even better from the pictures I saw
[05:00] <UbuntuBrandon> Name141: Tons.
[05:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <Name141> UbuntuBrandon: so it's worth downloading the other ISO?
[05:01] <rhin0> maybe I go to 3.0 Ubuntusawr[xD]
[05:01] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> What's the name of the wifi-card in question? Is that used on a desktop or a laptop?
[05:01] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: Sure thing.
[05:01] <loganhoup> Urist_ Well, my problem seems to persist without any visual effects at all.
[05:01] <qin> Name141: Oneiric looks even better, you canskip Natty.
[05:01] <rhin0> whats the recommended stable latest pls Ubuntusawr[xD]
[05:01] <UbuntuBrandon> 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] <Name141> qin: That's in Beta
[05:01] <qin> Name141: Soon
[05:01] <rhin0> this is all good gives me hope
[05:02] <UbuntuBrandon> Name141 Go to Natty. Oneric is in beta and not safe to really use until Oct. 13.
[05:02] <rhin0> i've wasted a day
[05:02] <Name141> qin: How soon? like 2 weeks soon ?
[05:02] <starpwnage> how do i copy stuff to my /var/www folder in ubuntu? how do i get the permission?
[05:02] <qin> Name141: Something like this.
[05:02] <rhin0> sudo cp stawpwnage better to do it from /var/www
[05:02] <rocktop> when I use this rules I couldn't ping : http://fpaste.org/rUR9/
[05:02] <rocktop> anyidea ?
[05:02] <Name141> qin: I might just wait then.  Since I'm on limited bandwidth (425 MBs per rolling 24 hours)
[05:02] <urist_> loganhoup, not sure I know how to help you
[05:02] <starpwnage> what do you mean rhin0?
[05:02] <rhin0> good grief Name141 that must be hard
[05:03] <UbuntuBrandon> qin, Oneric is set for Final Release on October 13.
[05:03] <mamakin_> sorry, I was waiting for ideas on BCM4309 for natty narwhal
[05:03] <Name141> rhin0: 1-6 AM is 'open'.  Doesn't count towards the limit, but only can get 1.8-2.0 GBs in.
[05:03] <rhin0> you get a command shell cd to the /var/www then cp (source directory path)/*  (destination directory path)
[05:03] <mamakin_> puppy works well, but firefox crashes a lot :)
[05:03] <urist_> 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] <starpwnage> ok thanks
[05:03] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: http://techtimely.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/install-linux-kernel-3-0-on-ubuntu-11-04/
[05:03] <rhin0> the cp command is "copy" starpwnage
[05:04] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I followed that tutorial.
[05:04] <UbuntuBrandon> Name141 You really should get 11.04 (Natty) so when Oneric comes out, you will understand the new interface.
[05:04] <rhin0> you need sudo starpwnage because the /var/www directory is protected
[05:04] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: If it fails the first time. Do not panic, and use: sudo dpkg -i linux-*
[05:04] <UbuntuBrandon> urist_ I am sure. lol
[05:04] <Name141> UbuntuBrandon: I have the 64 bit version of that downloaded, but not the 32 bit.
[05:04] <rhin0> sudo gives you super user rights
[05:04] <Name141> UbuntuBrandon: This machine only has 2GBs of RAM
[05:04] <rhin0> ty very much Ubuntusawr[xD]
[05:04] <UbuntuBrandon> name141 do you only have a 32 bit processor?
[05:05] <Name141> UbuntuBrandon: Probably, E2160.  but it's slow.
[05:05] <UbuntuBrandon> Name141 2gb is plenty.
[05:05] <mamakin_> Ubuntusawr[xD] did you have a suggestion?
[05:05] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: Is it really necessary? And don't mind me, I got a case of SNS..  Shiny New Shit Syndrome
[05:05] <zelozelos> 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] <Name141> 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] <starpwnage> so i have cd'd to the destination
[05:06] <rhin0> gr8 Ubuntusawr[xD]
[05:06] <starpwnage> so then i do cp /folder1/folder2/text.php /* /var/ww
[05:07] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mamakin_: Using "Broadcom BCM4309 802.11a/b/g"?
[05:07] <urist_>   anybody here knows of a good software for doing statistics on linux?
[05:07] <rhin0> 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] <rhin0> 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] <rhin0> if you are manipulating files
[05:08] <UbuntuBrandon_> sorry, internet pooped.
[05:08] <UbuntuBrandon_> Name141 you see what i said?
[05:08] <rhin0> never done this through nautilus (gui) not sure if it is possible starpwnage
[05:08] <Name141> 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] <Name141> no
[05:08] <rhin0> copying files can be DANGEROUS with sudo starpwnage
[05:09] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <UbuntuBrandon_> name141 your processor is 64 it, and with that and 2gb of ram, Natty would (should) run fine.
[05:09] <rhin0> ok ok
[05:09] <rhin0> i look forward to my shiny new kernel
[05:09] <hans_> helllo
[05:09] <Name141> UbuntuBrandon_: Perhaps I will boot it LIVE and test it first?
[05:09] <xaviergmail> 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] <UbuntuBrandon_> Remember though, live boots will always run slower than install.
[05:10] <zelozelos> win 1st
[05:10] <Name141> true.
[05:10] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> urist_: System Profiling and Benchmark
[05:10] <Name141> UbuntuBrandon_: Also, if you are talking about Unity, I hate it.
[05:10] <henningvis> before
[05:10] <xaviergmail> zelozelos: Thanks!
[05:10] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> UbuntuBrandon_: I love Unity for the records.
[05:10] <zelozelos> np
[05:10] <rhin0> xaviergmail: not an expert on this but I personally would install ubuntu after
[05:10] <hans_> how to shared folder on virtual box. im using mandriva as host and xp as guest
[05:10] <UbuntuBrandon_> name141 you can use classic interface.
[05:11] <henningvis> o
[05:11] <Fudge> guys wanting to remove ubuntu off my netbook to sell with win7 still onit, whats easiest way without a win7 rescue cd
[05:11] <Name141> UbuntuBrandon_: Only for Natty, the next release is said not to have it.
[05:11] <rhin0> wow this is busy tonight
[05:11] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: I know right?
[05:11] <UbuntuBrandon_> name141 but there will be a way to use it. lol
[05:12] <Fudge> or could i install grub to the  mbr after resizing the win partition to use all hdd
[05:12] <Name141> 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] <urist_> Ubuntusawr[xD], those are for statistics? strange names... thanks though, I'm going to look them up
[05:12] <zelozelos> Fudge just use win partition manager to remove the linux partitions, then expand the win partition
[05:13] <UbuntuBrandon_> Well if you want to wait, name141 then by all means :)
[05:13] <Fudge> zelozelos  will windows see the ext4 partitions or doesnt it matter
[05:13] <Fudge> unknown file system
[05:13] <UbuntuBrandon_> Windows will only install onto NTFS
[05:13] <mamakin> hello
[05:14] <zelozelos> Fudge, then load gparted, delete the linux parts, then expand the win
[05:14] <mamakin> I am hoping someone can help me find a reference / article on getting ubuntu 11.04 to find broadcom BCM4309 card
[05:14] <Fudge> zelozelos  im not sure if you can resieze a partition in indows whilst using it
[05:14] <UbuntuBrandon_> Back to work. Bye, all.
[05:14] <Fudge> mamakin  goto additional drivers in system administration menu
[05:14] <mamakin> all my search results are 2007 with outdated references
[05:14] <zelozelos> Fudge you can dl a program to do it from cd/dvd startup but i dont remember whats it called
[05:14] <mamakin> bcm 4311 and up, I will look again...
[05:15] <mamakin> thanks.
[05:15] <zelozelos> Fudge i think it will work on any start-able media
[05:16] <xaviergmail> This might not be the rirhg place to ask, but is windows8beta.com the real site for windows 8 beta?
[05:16] <xaviergmail> right*
[05:16] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mamakin: It might be supported. That's what happened to me, my card became accepted in the latest versions of ubuntu.
[05:17] <urlin2u> !broadcom
[05:17] <henningvis> I  need help to increase my swap..it is 4 Gb now and i want it 8gb.. Windows 7 first and then 11.04 dual boot. I am very stupid with this so please be patient
[05:17] <bullgard4> What does this response mean: '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; RTNETLINK answers: File exists.'?
[05:18] <urlin2u> henningvis, what is your ram amount/
[05:18] <henningvis> looking
[05:18] <Mokilok> xaviergmail: That is not a legitimate windows beta website, the legitimate site will be a microsoft.com address I would guess
[05:18] <bullgard4> !swap | henningvis
[05:19] <henningvis> 2.7ghz
[05:19] <avoider> hi
[05:19] <henningvis> txd
[05:19] <henningvis> tx
[05:19] <avoider> i need some help installing adobe flash for youtube.
[05:20] <urlin2u> 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] <avoider> i follow setps but get no where.
[05:20] <xaviergmail> Mokilok: got it from #windows, msdn.microsoft.com :)
[05:20] <henningvis> so that is good? read an article that 8gb is better
[05:20] <urlin2u> avoider, you can just install the firefox addon flash aid and use the wizard to install
[05:20] <Mokilok> urlin2u: right click the power button top right corner, select "system settings" open Ubuntu software center
[05:20] <henningvis> 10 things to do after installing...blabla
[05:20] <Mokilok> type in "flash installer plugin" and install that
[05:21] <Mokilok> this installer works on amd64 11.04
[05:21] <avoider> urlin2u: i have
[05:21] <avoider> urlin2u: does not work
[05:21] <MasterOfMinutia> Anyone at all wish to take a stab at changing default packet TTL?
[05:21] <urlin2u> avoider, what is distro your running?
[05:21] <urlin2u> Mokilok, why?
[05:21] <Mokilok> sorry i meant that to Avoider
[05:21] <avoider> i use ubuntu
[05:22] <urlin2u> avoider, if you download the deb from adobe it will run through the software center.
[05:23] <urlin2u> henningvis, your swapi s fine.
[05:23] <rhin0> !kernel
[05:23] <rhin0> !kernel 11.04
[05:23] <henningvis> next question. Everything was working perfect after install, then I went and stalled some plug in for Banshee for ipod and that removeda whole lot of files.
[05:24] <henningvis> Now my openshot adn morph etc does not word.,...does not even start
[05:24] <SetiAmon> how do most people feel about this new interface?I tried it for awhile then went back to gnome classic
[05:24] <urlin2u> avoider, you running 64 bit?
[05:24] <henningvis> yes
[05:24] <Mokilok> SetiAmon: I love it. I'm used to Windows 7 so the concept of pinning items is very similar.
[05:25] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: How's that kernel?
[05:25] <rhin0> havent' been that fast Ubuntusawr[xD] will try it in the next day its 6:30am
[05:25] <avoider> urlin2u: yes, ty i have got it to work
[05:25] <rhin0> not on the target machine
[05:25] <SetiAmon> I just went back to linux just 2 days ago after about a year of windows 7
[05:25] <urlin2u> avoider, cool. :D
[05:25] <avoider> i was using the yum command in terminal
[05:25] <avoider> lol
[05:26] <avoider> so used to fc
[05:26] <SetiAmon> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: It's quick though.
[05:26] <raj-darkmystery> guys need some guidance
[05:26] <rhin0> yes but the machine is elsewhere .... 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] <raj-darkmystery> how can i get the details of incoming and outgoing traffic in mysql
[05:26] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> raj-darkmystery: What's on your mind?
[05:27] <Shirakawasuna> 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] <Shirakawasuna> ?
[05:27] <rhin0> ever seen that on 11.04 (dell inspiron m5010 laptop) where the mouse freezes but the system is not locked up Ubuntusawr[xD] ??
[05:27] <rhin0> any ideas
[05:29] <teamcoltra> Is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8284273 still the best guide for removing pulseaudio and using only ALSA?
[05:29] <teamcoltra> (for ocelot)
[05:29] <xangua> !oneiric | teamcoltra
[05:30] <teamcoltra> :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] <rww> teamcoltra: Yup. #ubuntu is for <= 11.04 right now. See #ubuntu+1.
[05:31] <Shirakawasuna> teamcoltra: what they mean is that you want to go to #ubuntu-1 for that question
[05:31] <Shirakawasuna> err #ubuntu+1
[05:32] <raj-darkmystery>  how can i get the details of incoming and outgoing traffic in mysql?
[05:33] <rhin0> oneiric means "dreamy"
[05:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: Oh wait, duh, you were JUST using the terminal. Lol, silly me
[05:34] <bullgard4> What does this response mean: '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; RTNETLINK answers: File exists.'?
[05:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Oneiric? Why Oneiric?
[05:34] <rhin0> its not a problem Ubuntusawr[xD] i'm completely re-installing (not locked up now) (blanked)
[05:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I was hoping for an octopus or something.
[05:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> C'mon now...
[05:35] <rhin0> oneiric means "dreamy"
[05:35] <Shinka> 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] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: Okay. But I still wish for a sea creature, something more unique.
[05:35] <SubCool> could someone assist me, its been a while.
[05:36] <rhin0> whats up subcool
[05:36] <teamcoltra> :) 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...
[05:36] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Shinka: Unity is based on Gnome 3.
[05:36] <bullgard4> !ask | SubCool
[05:36] <rww> bullgard4: may I PM you about something, please?
[05:36] <rhin0> we're all going to have to LEARN unity ... np.  is better anyway
[05:36] <bullgard4> rww: Yes, please.
[05:36] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> rhin0: Agreed.
[05:37] <SubCool> rhin0, i just installed ext4, Twiligtzone Kernel, SyndicateROm onto EPIC, but now that it is on, for some reason is says my Phone STorage is full.
[05:37] <rhin0> way out of my understnding of packages sorry subcool ask somone else
[05:37] <SubCool> k- thanks...
[05:37] <rhin0> dunno what any of that is
[05:38] <rhin0> there is a way to get disk space on a device by typing "df" on the mount SubCool
[05:38] <rhin0> then you could look around and see if the mounted device is actually full (and of what)
[05:38] <SubCool> rhin0, it says full
[05:38] <rhin0> maybe it is
[05:38] <SubCool> it cant be
[05:38] <SubCool> its a fresh install
[05:38] <SubCool> i just got hte phone back from Samsung
[05:39] <fnordz> so there's something tweaky w/ my g/f's lenovo ideapad and ubuntu, the laptop has both a hard and soft wifi kill switch of sorts, can w/ f key press, or an actual switch on laptop… somehow though seems to indicate the hard switch is off every boot though, even when it's on
[05:39] <Shinka> I wonder how stable is the second beta. I might try it on my laptop :P
[05:39] <SubCool> i also dont have a cmd prompt for it
[05:39] <c4pt> hi i am trying to kill a process with kill -9 5680 (but the process wont quit)
[05:40] <c4pt> when i type ps ax | grep dpkg (i see the process again at 5680 with Ds ? )
[05:40] <SubCool> c4pt, try 15
[05:40] <c4pt> SubCool: didnt work
[05:40] <SubCool> c4pt, 7?
[05:40] <c4pt> SubCool: i tried kill -15 5680 it still shows it
[05:40] <SubCool> lol
[05:40] <SubCool> whats the package?
[05:41] <SubCool> whats it doing?
[05:41] <c4pt> apt-get install unrar
[05:41] <SubCool> its hanging on an install?
[05:41] <c4pt> its trying to unpack unrar but its stuck so i hit crtl-Z
[05:41] <c4pt> yeah
[05:41] <SubCool> ouch
[05:41] <SubCool> well ya- u threw it into the background
[05:41] <c4pt> how can i kill dpkg ?
[05:41] <SubCool> bg 1
[05:41] <c4pt> kill -9 and kill -15 isnt working
[05:41] <SubCool> i doubt u wanna kill it- otherwise ur package manager will be locked
[05:41] <c4pt> you mean fg 1
[05:41] <SubCool> type bg
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> Install unp unrar rar p7zip-full p7zip-rar   and you'll be fine :-)
[05:42] <c4pt> (foreground 1)
[05:42] <SubCool> ubuntu bg works for me
[05:42] <SubCool> w.e.
[05:42] <c4pt> SubCool: i killed %1 when i hit crtl-z :/
[05:42] <c4pt> SubCool: so its not in bg or fg anymore
[05:42] <SubCool> so u hung it
[05:42] <c4pt> SubCool: but the process is still running
[05:42] <SubCool> reboot and hope ur package manager isnt locked
[05:43] <c4pt> SubCool: :( cant reboot i have two guest operating systems open and my host is doing tons of shit
[05:43] <SubCool> gotta wait then
[05:43] <SubCool> u ghosted the installed
[05:43] <SubCool> its doing the work and no longer has a PID to refer too.
[05:43] <SubCool> child or parent..
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> SubCool: it will lock the packages if you reboot during updates
[05:43] <SubCool> u have to reboot- there might be a way to clear it otherwise, but thats not my turf
[05:44] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Anyone mind telling me how many Channel Ops are on the access list? (Nothing special, I'm only curious).
[05:44] <SubCool> ActionParsnip, you would know better, he killed an updated. but no longer has control of it- its just hanging and taking up cpu
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntusawr[xD]: 3 when I joined about 5 mins ago
[05:45] <Colin969_> Since every other IRC channel I have any real  knowledge of is dead or ignorant. In Java, would I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Commands"); For Linux still?
[05:45] <jtrucks> is it normal for a release upgrade to pause for a few minutes during the setting up stuff and conig file installs?
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> SubCool: if its hung for sure, kill it. Could try foreground by PID to see whats going on
[05:46] <SubCool> ActionParsnip, thats the thing, he did kill it- and now its really hung.
[05:46] <Colin969_> Great, so nobody here knows? =/
[05:46] <naftilos76> hi, does anybody know a proven-to-be-reliable way of somehow importing a tree of Kmail folders containing emails as well as other folders containing other emails and so on into Evolution in an automated way through a bash script ?
[05:47] <c4pt_> SubCool: i closed all my open terminal windows and reopened a terminal window and kill -9 and kill -15 worked this time

[05:57] <koa> hello
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> Hi koa
[05:58] <koa> can you help me with something plz :)
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> Ask and see :-)
[05:59] <SadlyMistaken> what's happending? a problem?
[05:59] <koa> allright i wanna make a kernel for my i7 to get better performance
[05:59] <koa> how can i do that in easy way ?
[05:59] <koa> :F <<<
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> Koa: could compile it with better options and remove features you don't need.
[06:01] <koa> yes that how  can i do it ?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Koa: if you wa
[06:01] <koa> how do i compile it ?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Want a better desktop performance you can use a lighter desktop like xfce or lxde
[06:02] <koa> T_T i love gnome
[06:02] <jtrucks> can /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.1.postinst take a long time during the upgrade, or is it possible there is a curses screen that ought to be displaying that isn't?
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> !kernel | koa its not a
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> Its not an easy task but its a great skill to have
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> Koa: you can use gnome apps in other DEs without issue. Lighter DEs free up the CPU more as they
[06:04] <koa> btw  more question i have non-open nvidia driver will this compile effect it ?
[06:04] <koa> ok here is the thing lol >< i played with kernels
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> Need less speed to run, this allows CPUs to clock down and use less power
[06:05] <koa> i fear it will effect my wine games
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> Koa: you have the ker
[06:05] <koa> cos i'm runing them all nice
[06:05] <koa> here is my kernel
[06:06] <koa> kernel linux 2.6.38.11-generic-pae
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> Kernel headers which are needed. I've not built a kernel with proprietary drivers. Have a go. Could be fun
[06:07] <koa> XD i'll give it a try
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> Koa: so what is your actual issue? Why do you want to mess with the kernel?
[06:07] <koa> coz hmm more more i want more lol ><
[06:08] <koa> i never know when to quit XD
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Koa: how much ram do you have?
[06:08] <koa> 4
[06:08] <KMNsadface> hi, im having problems booting into Windows and my ubuntu; im on tri-boot and it only allows me to get into my Backtrack5 R1..
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> Koa: look at sysctl.conf  for setting vm.swappiness   set it to about 10. You can also use the file to make the web a bit quicker
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> K
[06:10] <koa> already did that
[06:10] <koa> but i put it to 0
[06:10] <koa> i don't want it to use swap
[06:11] <koa> never mind it i guess it rlly good i try wheni shold stop
[06:11] <koa> 1 last question
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> KMNsadface: you should ask in the backtrack channel then
[06:12] <koa> how can i back up the whole ubuntu
[06:12] <koa> with the programs and etc
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> !backup | koa
[06:12] <KMNsadface> ActionParsnip: backtrack is working fine.. win7 and ubuntu wont boot though
[06:13] <rocktop> I use this rules then I couldn't ping to anything http://pastebin.com/1Nfvq1Sv anyidea how to allow outgoing traffics ?
[06:13] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> koa: 4GB of ram?

[06:13] <koa> yep
[06:13] <koa> lol why
[06:13] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Kernel should be the last thing you should ever be touching unless it's to do with hardware and what not.
[06:14] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I'm using 1GB of ram here.
[06:14] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> And yes my puter is very old.

[06:19] <learner420> i mean font in ubuntu
[06:21] <SadlyMistaken> If i create with OpenOffice a pdf which docummet use UBUNTU FONT, someone in another computer, for example someone with normal windows.. will be reading my pdf with another font? I mean... Does OpenOffice embebed the font?
[06:22] <SadlyMistaken> hello?
[06:23] <learner420> what i have to type after pressing alt + f2 to open console
[06:23] <learner420> :(
[06:24] <learner420> i used to remember it , but i forgot
[06:25] <SadlyMistaken> when
[06:25] <SadlyMistaken> learner420
[06:25] <SadlyMistaken> when you press ALT + F2
[06:26] <learner420> on the desktop
[06:26] <SadlyMistaken> a new windows will pop up
[06:26] <SadlyMistaken> then write: gnome-terminal
[06:26] <learner420> oh yes yes ..
[06:26] <learner420> thanks sadly mistaken ...
[06:26] <SadlyMistaken> did you work?
[06:26] <SadlyMistaken> ok
[06:26] <SadlyMistaken> :D
[06:27] <learner420> yes it worked :)
[06:27] <SadlyMistaken> I think you can configurate keyboards to open directly a terminal
[06:27] <propman> ctrl alt T
[06:28] <SadlyMistaken> thanks a lot propman
[06:28] <urlin2u> has to be enabled in Natty compiz though
[06:28] <SadlyMistaken> I didn't know that
[06:28] <SadlyMistaken> (i use maverick)
[06:29] <propman> yw
[06:29] <SadlyMistaken> can someone answered me about the "embebed" font in openoffice when i export to pdf?
[06:29] <SadlyMistaken> (sorry for my bad english)
[06:31] <pander> iuuiku7r
[06:31] <SadlyMistaken> hello pander
[06:33] <joel135> hello #ubuntu! how do I configure my desktop to translate "example" to "google.com" when using ping, firefox etc?
[06:33] <urlin2u> SadlyMistaken, I see with a quick web search that there can be problems, you might test this your self, there are shared font.
[06:34] <joel135> so that ping example would give me the ip 173.194.32.18, for example
[06:35] <SadlyMistaken> urlin2u i don't find any explanations when i did a web search of the problem. Thanks a lot anyway
[06:36] <Loshki> joel135: you can add entries to /etc/hosts (which maps names into ip addresses)...
[06:36] <Petskull> Hey guys, I want to download some packages after my roomie steps out in about 3 hours.  How do I do that?  Do I have to set up a cron job or something?
[06:37] <joel135> Loshki: thanks! I'll look into it
[06:37] <Petskull> basically I want to run 'sudo apt-get install xchat' at a certain time
[06:38] <Flannel> Petskull: for one-time things like this, you can use 'at'
[06:38] <Flannel> Its sort of like cron, but only does it once
[06:38] <Petskull> hmm
[06:38] <Petskull> at what?
[06:39] <Petskull> at <time>?
[06:40] <taty> how to install adobe flash player from LX terminal_
[06:40] <TrD> hi all
[06:40] <TrD> ho to set up static ARP entry please ?
[06:41] <TrD> *how
[06:41] <urlin2u> SadlyMistaken, ttf-mscorefonts-installer is I believe installed if you install the restricted-extras these are the Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts
[06:41] <urlin2u> this
[06:42] <deepak_> hi
[06:42] <SadlyMistaken> I have installed restricted-extras....
[06:42] <SadlyMistaken> But i only want to be sure the pdf is going to embebed the font inside.
[06:42] <Flannel> Petskull: sudo at now+3hour, then type your command, enter, ctrl-d.
[06:42] <SadlyMistaken> ok, don't worry urlin2u, thanks a lot for everything
[06:43] <deepak_> hi
[06:43] <ninwa_mbl> Hi
[06:43] <Petskull> ok, I just tried "ls|at 11:12" and I got "warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh; job 1 at Sat Sep 24 11:12:00 2011"
[06:43] <Petskull> but nothing happened at 11:12
[06:43] <deepak_> ninwa where you from ?
[06:44] <Flannel> Petskull: it won't run it in your shell, it'll just run it.
[06:44] <Petskull> ah, duh
[06:44] <Petskull> shoulda seen that coming
[06:44] <Flannel> Petskull: after you add something, you can see it with 'atq'  (or sudo atq if you've added it to root's queue)
[06:44] <Myrtti> Petskull: try 'touch foobar' or something
[06:44] <Petskull> ok, trying again
[06:45] <Petskull> I was gonna try gedit
[06:45] <joel135> what does ::1 in /etc/hosts mean?
[06:45] <deepak_> :( am i visible or not , and by which name ? huh isnt there anyway to find out myself , if i am connected or not
[06:45] <Flannel> Petskull: gedit won't work.  It's not connected to 'you' at all.
[06:45] <Myrtti> deepak_: hi
[06:46] <domino14> i want to give my computer a static ip; what do i use for the gateway and DNS?
[06:46] <domino14> i was just using my router ip, but this doesnt seem to work
[06:46] <deepak_> oh thanks Myrtti , u just lessen my frustration
[06:46] <deepak_> huh
[06:46] <Myrtti> np
[06:46] <Tom_> I thought xchat was a program comparable to mIRC
[06:46] <Flannel> joel135: that's IPv6s version of 127.0.0.1
[06:46] <domino14> oh nevermind, it works now...
[06:46] <Flannel> joel135: (loopback address)
[06:46] <joel135> ty
[06:46] <Petskull> um.. Flannel what do you mean?
[06:47] <Tom_> I thought xchat was a program comparable to mIRC
[06:47] <Myrtti> Tom_: yes?
[06:47] <Flannel> Petskull: You can't do anything that interacts with the user.  Because it doesn't know which xserver to connect to, or which tty, etc, etc.
[06:47] <Petskull> hmmm
[06:47] <deepak_> what is tty and etc ?
[06:48] <Petskull> ls>file.txt?
[06:48] <Tom_> should I just find a way to download issri?
[06:48] <Tom_> wine fails with my mirc for some reason
[06:48] <Flannel> Petskull: that'll work.  Although I'd give both commands an absolute path.
[06:48] <Petskull> ls>/home/mynick/file.txt?
[06:48] <Petskull> rgr
[06:50] <deepak_> my some button is not working in my keyboard , is there any software through which i can change the keybaord config?
[06:51] <Petskull> when I run it, it executes immediately
[06:52] <Petskull> as opposed to waiting until the time
[06:52] <Flannel> Petskull: What exactly are you doing?
[06:52] <hellofoo> when i execute ls -alh the folders displayed are just 4.0K big when they contain files that add up to several MBs, why so ?
[06:53] <henningvis_> Some of my apps are not working after i added the ipod ext to banshee. Software Centre said that x amount of files would be deleted and now openshot, jacamorph, frets on fire etc does not even want to open ...newby here ..SIGH
[06:54] <Petskull> Flannel, I have this long line of packages I want to install on my new ubuntu machine.  I've used this line of apt a lot before
[06:54] <Petskull> but the internet's slow here, and I have a roomate
[06:54] <Petskull> so I want to set it to start after he leaves
[06:55] <Petskull> Flannel, does this make sense?
[06:56] <Flannel> Petskull: No, no, what are you doing with at?
[06:57] <Petskull> I'm trying to use 'at' to run this 'sudo apt' line at a certain time
[06:57] <Petskull> ...like you suggested
[06:58] <Flannel> Petskull: What exactly are you doing (with your test case) to enter the line into at?
[06:58] <soreau> Petskull: Why not just use a quick-n-dirty method such as logging in as root, then running sleep 65000; apt-get install blah blah blah
[06:58] <Petskull> ls>/home/petskull/file.txt|at 11:22
[06:58] <MeanEYE> Haha, just read that guys comment on Xchat :)... had to laught.
[06:58] <Petskull> that could work
[06:58] <Petskull> lemme try
[06:59] <Petskull> that 65000 is millisecs, right?
[06:59] <soreau> Petskull: sleep --help
[06:59] <soreau> might be useful here
[06:59] <Petskull> gotcha- should just man sleep before asking
[07:00] <tsaknorris> hmm i know something about aliases, but i dont understand why him in this example put them to this own folder. because they have to be always under .bashrc to work right?
[07:00] <tsaknorris> http://www.howtogeek.com/73768/how-to-use-aliases-to-customize-ubuntu-commands/
[07:00] <Flannel> Petskull: That command works fine here to adding it to the at queue.
[07:00] <soreau> Petskull: You'll also want apt-get --force-yes -y install blah blah blah
[07:00] <dollarcrab> is it possible to tell my laptop "yes you are plugged in" so that it will let me charge the battery?
[07:00] <Flannel> soreau, Petskull: you never want --force-yes
[07:00] <soreau> Flannel: Sure you do ;)
[07:01] <Flannel> soreau: No, you don't.
[07:01] <Petskull> yeah, I read up in the apt forcing
[07:01] <Petskull> no?
[07:01] <Flannel> Petskull: No.
[07:01] <soreau> Flannel: If you *never* want that option, it would have been removed from apt-get's code
[07:01] <Petskull> why not?
[07:01] <Flannel> Petskull: Unless you feel like coming home to a broken system tomorrow.
[07:01] <Petskull> um... no
[07:01] <soreau> Flannel: How could it possibly break something?
[07:01] <Petskull> that would be bad
[07:01] <Flannel> Petskull: If you have to force it to yes, it's asking if you really want to do something you shouldn't.
[07:02] <tsaknorris> soreau: it install new kernerl etc...
[07:02] <Flannel> soreau: How would --force-yes be useful?
[07:02] <tsaknorris> soreau: kernel :D
[07:02] <Petskull> no- I just need to bypass the confirmation as I won't be here
[07:02] <amin`> how could I start dzen with icon set?
[07:02] <soreau> Flannel: -y alone does not work.. it will fail with 'you didnt say --force-yes'
[07:02] <Petskull> how would I do that?
[07:02] <Flannel> Petskull: that's what -y does
[07:02] <Petskull> it's gonna ask me..
[07:02] <Mokilok> How do I change the Icon of a link?
[07:02] <Loshki> Petskull: instead of forcing yes, how about using -d instead to do the download unattended, then do the actual install when you're there later....
[07:02] <Petskull> ok, gonna try it with just -y
[07:03] <Petskull> hey- that's not a bad idea
[07:03] <Flannel> soreau, Petskull: from the man page (regarding -y): Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run non-interactively. If an undesirable situation, such as changing a held package, trying to install a unauthenticated package or removing an essential package occurs then apt-get will abort.
[07:03] <Petskull> except the install is pretty lengthy on its own
[07:03] <MeanEYE> Mokilok: Well icons are mainly detected by extension and in some cases by content. So rename it. :D
[07:03] <Flannel> So, there's your few examples of things that --force-yes will do, which will not make you a happy camper.
[07:03] <Petskull> yeah, that makes senc
[07:03] <Petskull> e
[07:04] <MeanEYE> Mokilok: unless the link is a directory in which case there isn't really anything you can change :D
[07:04] <tsaknorris> so  now i need the answer why to put aliases own folder and not to .bashrc where they will work if you restart the shell etc...
[07:04] <soreau> Flannel: Well ISTR -y failing with '-y given without --force-yes. aborting' but that no longer seems to be the case
[07:04] <jtrucks> oh god.
[07:04] <jtrucks> so.
[07:04] <soreau> Flannel: It's been awhile since I used it
[07:04] <tsaknorris> is there secret stuff what i dont know or is he just pointing to that folder under .bashrc?
[07:04]  * soreau sits corrected
[07:05] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: There is no difference in that. It's only a matter of organisation. They'll work either way.
[07:05] <Mokilok> The link is for Heroes of Newerth x64 executable. The game opens fine but the link is a plain gray Ubuntu Icon. When I select the Emblems tab in properties the default HoN icons are not one of the selectable options
[07:05] <MeanEYE> Mokilok: Then you want to create a .desktop file and define icon there.
[07:06] <jtrucks> what do I do with my system when this happens: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696032/
[07:07] <tsaknorris> MeanEYE: hmmm not automaticly. .bashrc is only place atleast in my system? because i opened new shell and it doesnt work there.
[07:07] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Seems to me that your /etc/apt/sources.list file is corrupt or has a bad format. Check that first.
[07:07] <jtrucks> sources.list: symbolic link to usr/share/man/man1/mactime-sleuthkit.1.gz'
[07:07] <jtrucks> seems like a problem there, eh
[07:07] <jtrucks> ?
[07:07] <jtrucks> so how do I fix that and have the upgrade pick up where it left off?
[07:07] <jtrucks> is that possible?
[07:08] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: sources.list should be a plaintext file.
[07:08] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: Can you give me that link again. I just dropped in without actually looking what that guy said.
[07:08] <tsaknorris> http://www.howtogeek.com/73768/how-to-use-aliases-to-customize-ubuntu-commands/
[07:09] <Petskull> ok, my line is this:   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc mplayer mencoder build-essential xchat frozen-bubble banshee libxine1-ffmpeg xchat-gnome wine openarena stellarium celestia blender bootchart sysv-rc-conf compizconfig-settings-manager emerald barrage hedgewars chromium pacman pingus warzone2100 snes9x-gtk transmission code-blocks geany libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev ubuntu-tweak
[07:10] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: Ok, now repeat the question if you don't mind. :) Just to make sure I don't give you an stupid answer.
[07:10] <tsaknorris> MeanEYE: wait. i dont have same name folder i have just .aliases. does it really have to be same name .bash_aliases?
[07:11] <Petskull> hey- what's the name of the ubuntu-tweak package?
[07:11] <Petskull> did it change?
[07:11] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: where can I find a correct copy of the sources.list file? I assume my original is no longer correct, which it copied to sources.list.distUpgrade.
[07:11] <urlin2u> Petskull, you have to add the ppa
[07:11] <rww> Petskull: ubuntu-tweak isn't in Ubuntu's repositories and isn't supported here.
[07:11] <Petskull> oh... I know what happened
[07:11] <Petskull> I added it, but I didn't update my cache
[07:12] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Your upgrade failed?
[07:12] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: yes.
[07:12] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: It's not a folder, it's a plain text file.
[07:13] <jtrucks> that paste was the output of the failure notice :(
[07:13] <tsaknorris> MeanEYE: yeah i ment that :D sorry my folder is just text file, but still can you get it to work?
[07:13] <Fargh> good morning
[07:13] <Loshki> Petskull: you forgot the -y ....
[07:13] <jtrucks> so first I need to get the correct file. then I have to figure out how to restart this process (hopefully where it left off)
[07:14] <Petskull> "Need to get 822 MB of archives."... Jeez, that's gonna take days..
[07:14] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Then original should have .distUpgrade appended. Before renaming check if the original is ok. Do an update first before upgrading!
[07:14] <Fargh> anyone here wanna help me with fixing apt ?
[07:14] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: Give me a moment please.
[07:14] <Petskull> Loshki, I know, I just wanted to make sure all the packages were good
[07:14]  * jtrucks got 409MB earlier in about 4 min.
[07:15] <tsaknorris> MeanEYE: ok, maybe easiest way is to make line to .bashrc what points to that own alias file. hmm but that it would work without .bashrc is weird :D
[07:15] <Fargh> when installing any package i get the following message : E: File does not exist: /usr/share/cli-common/packages.d/policy.2.6.gtk-dotnet.installcligac
[07:16] <Fargh> anyone has an idea ?
[07:16] <Corey> Fargh: Yeah, hang on...
[07:16] <Fargh> dpkg: error processing libgtk2.0-cil (--remove):
[07:16] <urlin2u> Fargh, can you run a update?
[07:16] <Fargh> update yes
[07:17] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: tsaknorris: Ok. Inside of your .bashrc you have something that looks like `if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then`. That's the line that loads the .bash_aliases file. You can change it to whatever you want. I'd suggest reading http://stefaanlippens.net/my_bashrc_aliases_profile_and_other_stuff as it has some nice explanations and examples.
[07:17] <Fargh> apt-get -f install  <-- fails
[07:17] <Corey> Fargh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1666312
[07:17] <Petskull> 21hours... this is almost a moot point..
[07:17] <Fargh> doesnt work Corey ... tried that already
[07:18] <tsaknorris> MeanEYE: thanks :)  im just confused coz i made that .bash_aliases and it didnt still work :D lol wait i will check everything twice and thank you :)
[07:18] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: If the .distUpgrade file is Ok, meaning it's a plain text file with a bunch of lines starting with deb and deb-src... All you need to do is rename existing souces.list to something like sources.list.invalid and rename .distUpgrade file to original file name. Do apt-get update and upgrade. Then you can just restart distribution upgrade without problems.
[07:18] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: Don't mention it. If you still have problems let me know.
[07:20] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: oh, cool. I'll try that.
[07:20] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Just don't remove any files. Renaming them is enough. Just in case you need to revert something back.
[07:20] <Petskull> getting rid of openarena and warzone kicks it down to 'just' 411MB which should about halve the ETA
[07:21] <jtrucks> yeah, I copied them.
[07:21] <Petskull> ok, leaving this working- thanks, guys!
[07:21] <jtrucks> the problem turns out that sources.list was, inexplicably, a link to some man page gz file.
[07:21] <Loshki> MeanEYE: tsaknorris: my 10.04 .bashrc doesn't contain any such statement, and my bash man page doesn't say anything about .bash_aliases. What version are you guys running?
[07:22] <Corey> I have ubuntu in a weird half-configured state.  Hangs indefinitely when removing gdm.
[07:22] <Corey> How do I forcibly remove it?
[07:22] <Petskull> thanks guys!!
[07:22]  * Petskull *gone
[07:23] <MeanEYE> Loshki: am on Mint at the moment. It's really a distro specific thing. URL I gave describes how to set aliases in external file. So, in my .bashrc I have few alises and I don't have .bash_aliases file. :D
[07:23] <MeanEYE> Corey: Do you have a different DM? Like LightDM?
[07:24] <Corey> MeanEYE: It's headless, should have nothing. :-)
[07:24] <MeanEYE> Corey: Did you try aptitude?
[07:24] <Corey> MeanEYE: Yes.
[07:25] <Corey> Hangs forever on Removing gdm ...
[07:25] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: so I do: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; do-release-upgrade
[07:25] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Yes. If I remember correctly do-release-upgrade is a python script so it directly depends on a state of python interpretter. Hence the reason for upgrade first.
[07:25] <rabbi1> can't i skype from pidign ?
[07:25] <rabbi1> * can't i skype from pidgin ?
[07:25] <jtrucks> so, will this have to do everything all over again?
[07:26] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: No, skype is a proprietary code. No OSS there.
[07:26] <Loshki> MeanEYE: but the web page claims to be for ubuntu, so it would be nice if it worked on the current ubuntu LTS, or if not, a note to that effect might be less confusing.
[07:26] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Except for downloading already downloaded files. If you want that cleaned you have to apt-get clean
[07:26] <rabbi1> MeanEYE: thx, :(
[07:26] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: Google talk can be called using pidgin... with video/audio.
[07:27] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: And to be honest my advice would be to get rid of Skype. Spyware is not something we need in Linux community. :D
[07:27] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: so if all the packages are alrady installed, it will skip the install? This was at the very end of the upgrade process.
[07:27] <rabbi1> MeanEYE: yeah, i am using it... :)
[07:27] <hellofoo> OSS?
[07:27] <rabbi1> MeanEYE: can't help for few client communications
[07:27] <jtrucks> hellofoo: Open Source Software
[07:28] <MeanEYE> Loshki: Ubuntu can change from version to version so don't rely too much on it. If you don't see that file executing add that line (source file)
[07:28] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: I feel your paing although everyone has a GMail account today and Google+ being open you have a nice free conferencing software which is not closed and not forced down your throat.
[07:29] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Hm, yeah. I think. With previous upgrade, did it download everything and crashed after that or it didn't even get the chance to download them ?
[07:30] <Loshki> MeanEYE: thanks, I'll take care of it...
[07:30] <rabbi1> MeanEYE: can's ask them to use  :) .
[07:30] <MeanEYE> Loshki: Basically if [ -f file ] means if file exists. The line `source ~/.bash_aliases` means include this file.
[07:31] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: I know. Sadly not all people are flexible.
[07:31] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: it downloded everything, went through the upgrade process through installation, then was doing the 'setting up' series of stuff, then it said it was searching for obsolete software, then it had the crash in the paste I first posted.
[07:31] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: so, should I s/hardy/lucid/ in sources.list and then do update && upgrade?
[07:31] <rabbi1> Every time i run this update manager, google-chrome-stable loads about 20 MB. what will be there to update so much in chrome every time ?
[07:31] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Hm, weird. Then .distUpgrade file is not valid anymore. But am not exactly sure what happened.
[07:32] <jtrucks> k.
[07:32] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: In difference to microsoft Google patches a number of bugs and always introduces new features. Version 14 has NaCl in it and hardware acceleratorion.
[07:32] <shiven> stupid question time; i've managed to get wpa_supplicant set up, but i have no idea on how to make it automatically connect on ubuntu; any pointers? (10.4)
[07:32] <ikonia> shiven: there is a tick box in gnome-network-manager to say "connect automatically"
[07:32] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: so, I will s/hardy/lucid/ in sources.list, then apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; perhaps?
[07:33] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: You could try renming sources.list file and try upgrading again in hope everything will go through this time, but I never had upgrade crash at that point.
[07:33] <rabbi1> MeanEYE: yeah? but for 20 MB file for upgrade, every time ... sounds weired
[07:33] <ikonia> jtrucks: no
[07:33] <ikonia> jtrucks: that is %100 way to break your system
[07:33] <shiven> ikonia: sorry, i forgot to mention no gui
[07:33] <ikonia> !upgrade | jtrucks
[07:33] <jtrucks> okay.
[07:33] <ikonia> shiven: why are you not using a gui ?
[07:33] <jtrucks> ikonia: I was following that.
[07:33] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: In windows they are doing the diff download. In linux due to packaging rules they have to give full package every time. It's not that much of a download for benefit of security.
[07:33] <shiven> ikonia: development (server) system. Not interested in the waste of resources
[07:33] <jtrucks> it broke.
[07:33] <shiven> it just needs wifi, and ssh really
[07:34] <ikonia> shiven: then you have to set everything up in the interfaces file so that when the interface is brought up, all the settings are there, which will force it to connect
[07:34] <ikonia> jtrucks: define "it broke"
[07:34] <rabbi1> MeanEYE: or i can skip 1 or 2 upgrades in btwn
[07:34] <MeanEYE> rabbi1: You can but there's no reason to do so.
[07:34] <ikonia> rabbi1: if an update is offered, it's wise to take it
[07:35] <shiven> ikonia: any idea where the interfaces file is? i have no issue setting it up, its just everything is in different places on ubuntu
[07:35] <ikonia> shiven: what distro are you used to ?
[07:35] <jtrucks> ikonia: from earlier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696032/
[07:35] <rabbi1> thanks
[07:35] <shiven> ikonia: gentoo / funtoo / sabyan
[07:35] <jtrucks> and sources.list: symbolic link to usr/share/man/man1/mactime-sleuthkit.1.gz'
[07:35] <MeanEYE> ikonia: jtrucks has problem with do-release-upgrade it broke before finishing last task od setting up all the packages. Perhaps reconfigure all could work.
[07:35] <ikonia> shiven: the file is in /etc/network
[07:35] <shiven> ikonia: thank you
[07:36] <MeanEYE> shiven: You can see interface name by issuing ifconfig -a :)
[07:36] <rabbi1> ikonia: my laptop prob din't solve,,, it's out for repair...
[07:36] <ikonia> jtrucks: obviously without knowing the details thats a serious error, however the last line that it can't read the sources file is interesting
[07:36] <ikonia> rabbi1: I told you 10 times it would not work and that it needed to go back for hardware repair
[07:36] <shiven> MeanEYE: i'm configuring my wifi; ifconfig is somewhat useless...
[07:36] <Fargh> anyone ideas for my issue ?
[07:37] <jtrucks> ikonia: somehow it managed to link the sources.list file to usr/share/man/man1/mactime-sleuthkit.1.gz
[07:37] <ikonia> jtrucks: what the devil.......
[07:37] <ikonia> jtrucks: I have never seen anything like that
[07:37] <ikonia> jtrucks: (what's mactime - pleaes don't say part of the macbuntu theme)
[07:37] <MeanEYE> shiven: I know, but it will give you interface name. Oh, sorry I didn't read your question correctly.
[07:38] <rabbi1> ikonia: :)
[07:38] <shiven> MeanEYE: tis all good, i'm nearly configured; quite a bit faster than my last 10 installs anyway
[07:39] <jtrucks> ikonia: so I need to figure out how to go on from here... however, it is possible that I need to backtrack some after attempting to fix this based on what we were trying to figure out above...
[07:39] <jtrucks> ikonia: mactime is part of sleuthkit. forensics package
[07:39] <jtrucks> this is a headless server.
[07:39] <tsaknorris> MeanEYE: lol i didnt know about that source command :D i was already thinking to make loop what goes with grep all the alias lines and make them alias commands  :) so much easier whiuh!
[07:39] <MeanEYE> tsaknorris: Please don't :D
[07:40] <ikonia> jtrucks: I think you're in for a tough ride
[07:41] <jtrucks> ikonia: I had a bad feeling that was the case.
[07:41] <jtrucks> it finished doing all the 'setting up' stuff, then this broke.
[07:41] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: ikonia: I still don't get how the heck man file ended up being linked to the source.list
[07:41] <jtrucks> MeanEYE: I have no idea either.
[07:42] <llutz_> corrupted filesystem, bad RAM
[07:42] <ikonia> jtrucks: out of interest, where is the sources.list pointing now ?
[07:43] <ryoohki> is there a channel for "ubuntu software center"?
[07:43] <jtrucks> ikonia: oh, I removed the symlink and copied sources.list.distUpgrade, then did s/hardy/lucid/ in the file.
[07:43] <jtrucks> based on someone's suggestion
[07:44] <rww> ryoohki: as I already told you, no.
[07:44] <dollarcrab> quit
[07:45] <henningvis> gonna try one more time: I have software that just wont work : Sonwriter and Javamorph...any suggestions to a solution/
[07:46] <hellofoo> hi, i am trying to understand something. why does ls show 4.0K for directories ?
[07:46] <shiven> thanks guys, all working
[07:46] <Ins3rt> more brazilian peoples?
[07:46] <henningvis> afrikaans
[07:46] <ikonia> Ins3rt: #ubuntu-br
[07:46] <Ins3rt> thxs ikonia
[07:46] <jtrucks> and now mysql is broken due to having a mix of hardy and lucid packages, I think.
[07:48] <llutz_> hellofoo: those 4k are the size the dir itself uccupies + some space reserved for information on contained files. once the number of files exceeds that reserved number, the dir-size increases with every file
[07:48] <MeanEYE> hellofoo: which flags did you use with `ls` command?
[07:49] <jtrucks> how can I tell apt to not try installing a package? it's complaining about trying to install an older package when a dependency is newer... I just want it to stop trying to do that.
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> !pin
[07:49] <ninjaaron> DISCONNECT
[07:49] <ikonia> jtrucks: slightly side tracking, do you have any PPA's or 3rd party repos installed ?
[07:49] <hellofoo> MeanEYE: ls -alh
[07:50] <Markus__> #straight
[07:50] <hellofoo> llutz_: dir is itself a fle., yeh ?
[07:50] <hellofoo> file
[07:50] <llutz_> hellofoo: yes, special kind of file. unix = all is a file :)
[07:50] <MeanEYE> hellofoo: Files and directories are inodes.
[07:50] <hellofoo> so it occupies like 4kb ? :O
[07:51] <MeanEYE> hellofoo: Something like that.
[07:51] <jtrucks> ikonia: looks like the only one in the file that doesn't use ubuntu.com is deb http://packages.dotdeb.org oldstable all
[07:51] <jtrucks> ikonia: should I remove that?
[07:51] <ikonia> jtrucks: %100 remove external stuff before upgrading
[07:52] <Markus__> check it out here #pornchat
[07:52] <ikonia> jtrucks: I'm wondering if that's causing the dependency issue,
[07:52] <jtrucks> i didn't even realize it was there.
[07:52] <ikonia> Markus__: please don't post that sort of thing
[07:52] <bazhang> Markus__, stop that
[07:52] <ikonia> Markus__: the topic is ubuntu support only, please keep to that.
[07:52] <MeanEYE> !ops
[07:52] <MeanEYE> Can we have some moderation please?
[07:52] <ikonia> Markus__: he's been told
[07:52] <MeanEYE> ikonia: Ok.
[07:52] <ikonia> MeanEYE: he's been told, you can see us telling him, use common sense
[07:53] <MeanEYE> ikonia: Didn't know you are opperator. :)
[07:54] <ikonia> MeanEYE: people (anyone) can tell him to stop,
[07:54] <ryoohki> rww: didn't see it
[07:54] <ikonia> and he has
[07:54] <ryoohki> rww: thanks!
[07:54] <hellofoo> llutz_: thanks, yout explanation was really nice :#
[07:54] <hellofoo> :3
[07:54] <llutz_> hellofoo: a directory entry needs to store information about files being saved in it. so it reserves more space a common empty file does.
[07:54] <jtrucks> ikonia: oh, i think I know where that dependency problem came from. earlier it was suggested I replace the distUpgrade file after removing that weird symlink, then doing apt-get update; apt-get upgrade... which I believe started breaking mysql.
[07:54] <ikonia> jtrucks: that sort of makes sense, I can see how that could happen
[07:54] <ikonia> jtrucks: I'm curious to your repos as I'm tempted to try that update to see if it fails as yours did
[07:55] <jtrucks> I'll pastebin what I have in the file. old and new if you like.
[07:55] <ikonia> jtrucks: I wouldn't mind a look
[07:56] <jtrucks> old list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696040/
[07:57] <jtrucks> new list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696042/
[07:57] <ikonia> jtrucks: it's worth my trying an upgrade to see if that repo cause the crazy symlink
[07:58] <jtrucks> so what exact part of the process do I use?
[07:58] <jtrucks> and it looks like it might be that repo that caused my mysql issues.
[07:58] <ikonia> jtrucks: honestly, don't know due to how your system is
[07:59] <ikonia> jtrucks: my opion is, manually resolve each dep conflict as best you can, then re-try the upgrade
[07:59] <jtrucks> so perhaps I should remove all my mysql stuff that snuck in from that other repo.
[07:59] <jtrucks> okay.
[07:59] <ikonia> jtrucks: this may involve removing some packages and re-installing them from the sane repo
[07:59] <ikonia> jtrucks: keep in mind I'm flying blind on this, so it may not be solid advice
[07:59] <ikonia> but that's how I'd deal with it
[07:59] <jtrucks> oh, I know. :)
[08:00] <ikonia> any packages from the deb repo that conflict with packages from ubuntu, or supply newer/different versions, swap out with ubuntu packages
[08:00] <jtrucks> I much appreciate the help.
[08:00] <ikonia> jtrucks: I am very interested/worried about what caused that symlink issue though
[08:00] <jtrucks> so, what I don't know is what package command to use to force remove those as it's still trying to install these client packages so I can't do anything until I can get that part fixed.
[08:01] <ironhalik> Hmm could someone tell me
[08:01] <ironhalik> why theres no hdx drives in my /dev/ dir?
[08:02] <ikonia> ironhalik: libata now presents them as scsi
[08:02] <ikonia> ironhalik: look at /dev/sdx
[08:02] <ironhalik> oh
[08:02] <ironhalik> sec
[08:02] <jtrucks> ikonia: once I get this fixed, I can out in a report or otherwise supply anyone who is intersted with the logs from the failure
[08:02] <ironhalik> nope - /dev/shm or /dev/snd :/
[08:02] <ironhalik> only dirs on s
[08:03] <ikonia> ironhalik: can you please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[08:03] <ironhalik> im trying to locate my thumbdrive
[08:03] <ironhalik> kk sec
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: run:  sudo fdisk -l   to see partitions
[08:03] <ikonia> jtrucks: it would be interesting if you could spend a little time with me and see if we can re-create it
[08:04] <jtrucks> ikonia: Unforuntaely, I don't have that time.
[08:04] <ikonia> jtrucks: I don't mean at this moment, when it's fixed/running
[08:04] <jtrucks> oh, that's possible....
[08:04] <ironhalik> http://pastebin.com/PG2GJzL3
[08:04] <ironhalik> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/PG2GJzL3
[08:04] <ikonia> ironhalik: ls -la /dev/sda

[08:05] <ikonia> ironhalik: ok - so there you go, there are /dev/sdx devices
[08:06] <ikonia> ironhalik: you said there was not, yet there clearly is
[08:06] <ikonia> ironhalik: your usb device is /dev/sdb
[08:06] <ironhalik> yeah but its not visable there :>
[08:06] <ikonia> ironhalik: it has one partition which is /dev/sdb1
[08:06] <ironhalik> soz, sec, wrong paste
[08:06] <TheWrongTurn> Hello.  Does the 64 bit version of Ubuntu use more RAM than the 32bit ?
[08:06] <ikonia> ironhalik: it is visible, you've just shown me the device files
[08:06] <ikonia> TheWrongTurn: realistically, no
[08:06] <ironhalik> root@Grouchy:~# cd /dev/sdb1
[08:06] <ironhalik> -bash: cd: /dev/sdb1: Not a directory
[08:07] <rww> ironhalik: correct, it's not a directory.
[08:07] <ikonia> ironhalik: you can't do that, it's a device file, you need to mount it
[08:07] <ikonia> ironhalik: it should be auto mounted in /media
[08:07] <ironhalik> well, I want to use it with 'dd' tool
[08:07] <ironhalik> should it be visable with 'dir'? :>
[08:07] <ikonia> ironhalik: what are you trying to do - what's your end goal
[08:07] <TheWrongTurn> ikonia: So I could use the 64bit version with 2GBs of RAM only ? And then later toss 2 more GBs in and max out the RAM slots (and RAM) ?
[08:07] <ikonia> TheWrongTurn: sure.
[08:08] <TheWrongTurn> ikonia: rather than having to upgrade to the 64bit OS later?
[08:08] <ikonia> TheWrongTurn: you can't upgrade to 64bit from 32bit
[08:08] <ikonia> TheWrongTurn: install 64bit now, and add more ram later
[08:08] <TheWrongTurn> (when I install the RAM)
[08:08] <ironhalik> ikonia: oh, ls -al lists is, thats my bad - ill try to burn the img now - thanks for the help :>
[08:08] <MeanEYE> TheWrongTurn: What ikonia means is there's no upgrade process. Just a fresh install.
[08:10] <s0126h> is it true that if you forget root password in ubuntu, it makes no difference
[08:10] <ikonia> s0126h: there is no root password
[08:10] <llutz_> s0126h: you cannot forget something not exisiting
[08:10] <ikonia> s0126h: so you can't forget it
[08:10] <MeanEYE> s0126h: You shouldn't have root password in the first place.
[08:10] <s0126h> can you even set root password then?
[08:11] <MeanEYE> s0126h: Yes you can, but shouldn't
[08:11] <ikonia> s0126h: you can but it's unwise and un-needed
[08:11] <llutz_> s0126h: no need to do it
[08:11] <MeanEYE> s0126h: That's why `sudo` is there.
[08:11] <jtrucks> ikonia: so, I think it's file system corruption. I just found another file that is whacked out.
[08:11] <TheWrongTurn> damn thing disconnected
[08:11] <ikonia> jtrucks: if that's the case, what rotten timing
[08:11] <jtrucks> while trying to fix these messed up packages
[08:11] <s0126h> MeanEYE how do i set root password
[08:11] <jtrucks> exactly.
[08:12] <ikonia> s0126h: if you don't know, you shouldn't do it
[08:12] <ikonia> s0126h: why do you want to do that ?
[08:12] <llutz_> s0126h: tbh, if you have to ask that, you shouldnt do it at all
[08:12] <s0126h> because i don't like this "sudo nonsense"
[08:12] <MeanEYE> s0126h: I agree with ikonia. You really don't need root password. It will only hinder your security.
[08:12] <MeanEYE> s0126h: Even if you do set it, a lot of applications won't run if you are logged in as root so there's no sense in doing that.
[08:13] <IamTrying> I am getting this error when building from source. e.g: configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.35.1 (GStreamer Base Plugins) found  configure failed
[08:13] <s0126h> meaneye why would application not run
[08:13] <ikonia> s0126h: then use "sudo -i" and be root
[08:13] <jtrucks> does anyone recall off the top of their head how to delete/unlink a file by inode?
[08:13] <ikonia> MeanEYE: that's not true
[08:13] <s0126h> what is the difference between "su root"  and "sudo -i"
[08:13] <ikonia> jtrucks: ls -li to get then inode,
[08:13] <ikonia> s0126h: sudo -i sets the environment correctly
[08:13] <jtrucks> ikonia: yeah, I got that:)
[08:14] <MeanEYE> ikonia: Hm, yeah those that do run with sudo, will work either way. I though he wants to be logged in as root all the time.
[08:14] <jtrucks> oh, find might help me do this.
[08:14] <s0126h> sudo is confusing
[08:14] <llutz_> jtrucks: find ... -inum -exec rm...
[08:14] <ikonia> MeanEYE: that won't change applications from working/not working
[08:14] <ikonia> jtrucks: hang on, I'll get the rm option
[08:14] <ikonia> s0126h: in what respect
[08:14] <s0126h> why does sudo -i  work  when i don't even know root password
[08:15] <ikonia> s0126h: because you know your own sudo password
[08:15] <MeanEYE> ikonia: am pretty sure some of them didn't want to work :/ oh well... probably a minority
[08:15] <ikonia> s0126h: and your user is authorized
[08:15] <ikonia> MeanEYE: no, you are incorrect
[08:15] <jtrucks> hmm. find . -inum 9193214 -exec rm {} \; didn't work
[08:15] <s0126h> ikonia i don't like that system:  i like system where i have to know root password to get super priviledegt
[08:15] <jtrucks> here's the real problem: -????????? ? ? ? ?                ? GalleryRepositoryIndex.class
[08:15] <jtrucks> nice, eh?
[08:16] <llutz_> jtrucks: fsck
[08:16] <ikonia> s0126h: you don't like typing sudo -i, but you so like typing su - to be root
[08:16] <ikonia> s0126h: is that really what you're saying
[08:16] <jtrucks> llutz_: I was hoping to avoid that... as this is the root partition.
[08:16] <s0126h> ikonia  yes sort of ;  because to do  "su root" you have to know root password
[08:16] <ikonia> s0126h: what does it matter if you know the root password ?
[08:17] <s0126h> i just prefer that system
[08:17] <ikonia> s0126h: then use it, good luck.
[08:17] <llutz_> jtrucks: stupid not to do. you cannot know all the stuff being broken
[08:17] <Fargh> guys, whats the solution when you get No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already ?
[08:17] <s0126h> what is the difference between "su -"  and "su root"
[08:17] <MeanEYE> s0126h: In that case, sudo -i  and then passwd.
[08:17] <ikonia> s0126h: one sets the environment, the other sets the id
[08:17] <s0126h> ikonia i dont' get it
[08:17] <ikonia> MeanEYE: please stop talking if you can't follow the discussion
[08:18] <ikonia> s0126h: possibly why you should be using sudo then
[08:18] <s0126h> meaneye and whose password do i type after "sudo -i"
[08:18] <MeanEYE> ikonia: wasn't his question how to change root password? You are really in a bad mood today.
[08:18] <ikonia> s0126h: you know what you're doing - so either do it or don't
[08:18] <ikonia> MeanEYE: no. Please follow the conversation
[08:19] <llutz_> setting root-password isn't supported here and this should be EOD
[08:19] <ikonia> llutz_: yes, you're correct.
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> s0126h: very little but it will fail as no root pass is set, or should be set
[08:19] <s0126h> llutz  that's silly
[08:19] <bazhang> s0126h, lets move on
[08:19] <llutz_> s0126h: if you don't agree with ubuntu-style, don't use it
[08:19] <MeanEYE> ikonia: I did, but whatever. Not going to argue because of that.
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> s0126h: after: sudo -i   type you users password you log in with
[08:20] <s0126h> llutz  is "sudo -i" ubuntu style?  other distro does not use this style?
[08:20] <IamTrying> I am getting this error when building from source. e.g: configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.35.1 (GStreamer Base Plugins) found  configure failed
[08:20] <ryoohki> is there a procedure to fix ubuntu software center?  i already tried "apt-get purge software-center ; apt-get install software-center"
[08:20] <llutz_> !sudo | s0126h
[08:20] <jtrucks> my worry on this systems is this: if I take it to single user and fsck it, will it even boot since it never finished the upgrade process...
[08:20] <s0126h> ActionParsnip  i see;  i don't comprehend that system nor i want to use it
[08:20] <ikonia> jtrucks: it's worth (if you can) fo an fsck on the file system - but set -n so it doesn't auto fix, that way you can see the errors
[08:21] <ikonia> s0126h: don't use it then,
[08:21] <s0126h> ActionParsnip  because all you doing is retyping the password you logged in with
[08:21] <ikonia> s0126h: read the documentation ubottu has provided
[08:21] <jtrucks> ikonia: without rebooting to single user you mean? it might be wort the risk now...
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> s0126h: the default is to keep root locked down for security, when you need exta access, simply prepend the command with sudo and use your password to authenticate, this gives greater control of whom can use admin commands
[08:22] <ikonia> jtrucks: nah, don't do it on a mounted file system
[08:22] <ikonia> jtrucks: sorry, I see what you're saying that you don't want to boot at all
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> s0126h: it also stops users from running stuf like irc clients and web browsers as root, which is a really bad idea
[08:23] <jtrucks> I don't understand how linux kernels and userland stuff works well enough to know whether I'll remotely have a working system, however, it did update grub and I tink install the new kernel, too...
[08:23] <s0126h> actionparsnip why would that be better security;  the user is only re typing their own password to get root access
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> s0126h: there are plenty of good reasons why ubuntu is set as it is.
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> s0126h: the user must be in the 'admin' group to be able to use sudo
[08:23] <bazhang> s0126h, lets move on, you have repeated enough. check the links.
[08:23] <ikonia> jtrucks: it maybe worth booting from a livecd (if you have the guts) and try to resolve it from that point if it won't boot
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> s0126h: so users whom are not may attempt to use sudo but they will be denied access
[08:24] <ikonia> jtrucks: I'm sure (I think) we can get this booting again if you have a problem
[08:24] <qin> s0126h: Rootless linux is quite common, it is not only Ubuntu...
[08:24] <s0126h> qin not 5 years ago
[08:24] <s0126h> qin who started this trent
[08:24] <s0126h> trend
[08:24] <jtrucks> ikonia: this machine is 2600miles away from me.
[08:24] <qin> s0126h: Stay in '90 then.
[08:24] <ikonia> jtrucks: ok, so that's a real issue
[08:24] <bazhang> qin, hes gone
[08:25] <jtrucks> yes.
[08:25] <llutz_> jtrucks: no rescue system?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> s093294: think about the guys who maintain and code for ubuntu, and how much they know....
[08:25] <jtrucks> :(
[08:25] <jtrucks> I have console
[08:25] <ikonia> jtrucks: give me a minute or two to think
[08:25]  * jtrucks goes to verify
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> s093294: you are free to do as you wish, but it is advised to use sudo
[08:26] <qin> ActionParsnip: bazhang has finnished this topic 2 minutes ago
[08:26] <rgb247> is there anyone to help me to remap some keys in ubuntu?
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> qin: gotcha
[08:27] <Amaranth1> Hello all. I am a new user to Ununtu, and need some help, anyone free?
[08:27] <MeanEYE> Amaranth1: Just ask the question and someone will pick it up.
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Amaranth1: ask and see
[08:27] <jtrucks> so, this particular file is an issue right now because it is trying to uninstall gallery2 (I have no idea why exactly and don't care as it's not actively used on the system). if I can just stop it from trying to do that i can get the system to reboot with higher degree of confidence that it is at least bootable
[08:28] <rgb247> I want to play Dota on ubuntu, and on windows I had dotakeys which remapped my keys, for example(a=f, q=k, w=n, e=t, etc..)
[08:28] <rgb247> this app doesn't work anymore on ubuntu
[08:28] <ikonia> jtrucks: can you run fuser against that file
[08:28] <Fargh> thanks for all the support guys.
[08:29] <MeanEYE> rgb247: Are you running WC3 using wine?
[08:29] <Amaranth1>  I have installed Unbuntu on my laptop, have all the updates done. I installed Thunderbird, and the Enigmail plugin. I am trying to get the bloody thing to import my key, and everytime I try, I get the error "Error-Encryption Command Failed"
[08:30] <rgb247> MeanEYE: yes
[08:30] <llutz_> Amaranth1: gnupg is installed?
[08:30] <jtrucks> ikonia: yeah: Specified filename GalleryRepositoryIndex.class does not exist.
[08:30] <Amaranth1> Yes
[08:30] <shanky> Hello, is there an specific channel for ubuntu betas ?
[08:30] <llutz_> !+1
[08:30] <rww> shanky: #ubuntu+1
[08:30] <shanky> rww: thanks
[08:30] <ikonia> jtrucks: thats interesting, so it must be able to read it's info from a different inode
[08:31] <rgb247> MeanEYE: do you know any solution?
[08:32] <MeanEYE> rgb247: Check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9742275 thread out.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> rgb247: did you check the appdb?
[08:33] <jtrucks> ahHA!
[08:33] <rgb247> ActionParsnip: I checked in synaptic but I don't found any app for key remapping
[08:33] <rgb247> MeanEYE: thanks you
[08:33] <MeanEYE> rgb247: NP
[08:33] <jtrucks> so, I moved the directory it was in (which the package manager was trying to remove anyway) and left it somewhere else to fix later, now I can get mysql installed.
[08:33] <jtrucks> so mail will work :P
[08:34] <jtrucks> then I can see if there's anything else left for the upgrade.
[08:34] <jtrucks> then risk a reboot.
[08:34] <jtrucks> meanwhile, I cannot for the life of me remember how to get to the console of the OS from HP iLO 100
[08:34] <ikonia> jtrucks: not a bad trick
[08:34] <linuxxxx> is padsp available in all versions of linux with pulse audio
[08:35] <linuxxxx> all versions of ubuntu* in particular
[08:35] <Amaranth1> Anyone have any experience with the plugin I am trying to use? Becuase no matter what I seem to do, I get errors
[08:35] <ikonia> jtrucks: not all ilo's support console, and some have to be licensed, some only allow LOM
[08:35] <iceroot> what is a process in "ps aux" containing [] like [/usr/bin/termin]
[08:36] <jtrucks> oh, so, I'm installing the mysql pacakges again... will it recognize that mysql-server used to be installed and ask me before it nails my existing setup? (I don't care about my.cnf, I didn't customize it - but auth tables etc I do)
[08:36] <ikonia> jtrucks: shouldn't touch the data
[08:37] <jtrucks> thought so.. but tonight I"m tired and paranoid :)
[08:37] <jtrucks> thanks.
[08:37] <llutz_> iceroot: means" no more options/parameter for this process known"
[08:39] <llutz_> iceroot: so only the processname is shown in []
[08:39] <iceroot> llutz_: so that means if i start "df" it would be shown as [/bin/df] and if i use "df -h" it would be shown as "/bin/df -f"
[08:40] <jtrucks> okay, mysql works now.
[08:40] <jtrucks> now I can get back to figuring out what's left of the upgrade and/or whether it's safe to reboot
[08:40] <ikonia> jtrucks: you're getting there,
[08:40] <llutz_> iceroot: no, afaik those processes mainly are kernel-/system-procs where the kernel has no info how it was called exactly. user-procs like "df" are known with path and all
[08:41] <iceroot> llutz_: ah ok, thank you
[08:41] <llutz_> iceroot: you'd better do some googling about it ;)
[08:41] <iceroot> llutz_: hard with "[]"
[08:41] <iceroot> llutz_: i guess "man ps" should be better
[08:41] <llutz_> square brackets    or how are they called in english?
[08:42] <iceroot> llutz_: that was to easy to think about :) thanks
[08:43] <iceroot> llutz_: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/ps-process-names-in-brackets-644364/
[08:44] <iceroot> [] = kernel-process
[08:45] <iceroot> but strange is that "terminator" (like gnome-terminal) has [] also but i am calling it myself
[08:45] <jtrucks> so, now using lucid repos in sources.list, I do apt-get upgrade and the only thing it says is that it held back xinetd and "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded."
[08:46] <jtrucks> so, any suggestions what I should check now?
[08:46] <ikonia> you can live with that
[08:46] <iceroot> jtrucks: dist-upgrade
[08:46] <jtrucks> iceroot: oh, thanks.
[08:46] <jtrucks> same result
[08:46] <ikonia> xinetd isn't a deal breaker
[08:46] <jtrucks> yeah, I can live without that. :P
[08:46] <tularis> hello
[08:46] <llutz_> iceroot: kernel or system-threads... but terminator... no idea why
[08:47] <iceroot> llutz_: also its shown as /usr/bin/termin instead of /usr/bin/terminator...   [/usr/bin/termin] <defunct>
[08:47] <tularis> i aquired a lenovo 121e one week ago, i installed ubuntu natty 64bit from usb and recently i had a big freeze
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> !away > yakeb-away
[08:48] <tularis> from that day i can't boot or finish an install
[08:48] <mobal> hello'
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> tularis: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?#
[08:48] <jtrucks> looks like it installed the kernel, too, and updated menu.lst
[08:49] <tularis> ActionParsnip: no but I installed it on 3 other computer at work, and those computer work fine for 4 weeks
[08:49] <jtrucks> so, what am I missing now?
[08:49] <ikonia> jtrucks: you look in an "ok" place
[08:49] <jtrucks> btw, you folks rock, especially you, ikonia
[08:49] <jtrucks> ikonia: well, I guess I ought to try a reboot, eh?
[08:49] <nyuszika7h> Hi
[08:49] <jtrucks> all the services seem to be working.
[08:49] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Fingers crossed! :D
[08:49] <jtrucks> yeah
[08:49] <ikonia> jtrucks: going to have to jump soon.
[08:49] <tularis> I think problem come maybe from the x121e (amd processor)
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> tularis: I suggest you test the RAM too
[08:50] <jtrucks> so, here's the best part: I"m using that server right now to be here, so hopefully I'll be back with good news soon.
[08:50] <ikonia> jtrucks: did you eyeball the menu.lst/grub.conf to make sure it matches up to files that are there
[08:50] <ikonia> jtrucks: including the initrd etc.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> tularis: there is an option on the USB, once booted, to MD5 test all the files on the USB
[08:50] <blink> hi. what's a good application to convert .avi videos to another formats? because i can't play .avi videos on my honeycomb.
[08:50] <tularis> ActionParsnip: how can I test the ram if i don't have spares
[08:50] <tularis> oh
[08:50] <tularis> ActionParsnip: i'm actually on a live session
[08:51] <tularis> ActionParsnip: what should I do ? (thx for helping)
[08:51] <jtrucks> ikonia: yes. :)
[08:51] <ikonia> jtrucks: time to test ?
[08:51] <jtrucks> vmlinuz and initrd are both correct.
[08:51] <jtrucks> sure.
[08:52] <jtrucks> :)
[08:52] <jtrucks> bbiab
[08:52] <FloodBot1> jtrucks: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:52] <ikonia> jtrucks: I think it's as good as it's going to get
[08:52] <jtrucks> oops... didn't mean to type that many messages so quickly :P
[08:52] <jtrucks> brb
[08:54] <tularis> ActionParsnip: md5sum / ? ^^

[08:54] <Ninks> Check out this grief forum.
[08:54] <ikonia> Ninks: please don't post that
[08:55] <ikonia> Ninks: this channel is for ubuntu support only. Please keep to that
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | tularis
[08:55] <Ninks> ikonia: ok.
[08:55] <ikonia> Ninks: thank you
[08:55] <tularis> ActionParsnip: i don't have the iso anymore
[08:55] <Ninks> ikonia: lots of men over there grieving very seriously though
[08:55] <tularis> ActionParsnip: i'm actually on the live boot of the usb stick
[08:55] <ikonia> Ninks: not intersted - please stop discussion about it
[08:55] <tularis> oh
[08:56] <jtrucks> apparently it works ;)
[08:56] <MeanEYE> jtrucks: Yay!
[08:56] <tularis> ActionParsnip: processing ...
[08:56] <ikonia> jtrucks: pleased.
[08:57] <ninjaaron> I have some questions about packaging.
[08:57] <jtrucks> ikonia: thank you sooooooo much for all your time.
[08:57] <ikonia> jtrucks: you sorted yourself out, credit to you
[08:58] <ninjaaron> I created a font, and I'm distributing it via github at the moment, but someone has requested a launchpad ppa.
[08:58] <jtrucks> now to make sure mail is flowing both ways before staggering to bed :)
[08:58] <ninjaaron> I'm not really sure how to create a deb for a font.
[08:58] <ninjaaron> or for anything else, for that matter.
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> tularis: the USB can test it's own health
[08:59] <Asad2005> I had to replace motherboard, AGP and cpu, i have ubuntu 11.04 installed on hard disk. would it be possible to preserve installed system. dpkg-reconfigure failed ?
[08:59] <Pereee> Hello! I really need help with a 11.04 server installation. I have 4 discs that i want to turn into a RAID array and install the system on. Anyone RAID-MASTER? :)
[08:59] <Pereee> RAID10 array that is
[08:59] <blink> hi. what's a good application to convert .avi videos to another formats? because i can't play .avi videos on my honeycomb.
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> Asad2005: should be able to simply transfer the drive, remove proprietary drivers if you installed any
[08:59] <ikonia> Pereee: the server install has a raid tool
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> !raid | Pereee
[09:00] <Pereee> ActionParsnip: Yes indeed it does.. the installation works fine and i have checked the links posted. The problem in my case is maybe partitioning
[09:01] <Asad2005> ActionParsnip: IS there an alternative to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command
[09:01] <Pereee> installation works fine except when i boot it does not find GRUB
[09:01] <Someguy2> Guys does Ubuntu supprts dual Graphics card
[09:01] <Pereee> end up int grub error>
[09:01] <Trusardi> hm
[09:01] <Someguy2> casue when i have my gamimg machine, i wanna install ubuntu on it
[09:01] <ikonia> Pereee: you need to have /boot on a non-raid partition or a mirrored raid partition in this case
[09:01] <jtrucks> yup, everything working.
[09:01]  * jtrucks waves and goes to bed.
[09:01] <ikonia> jtrucks: nice job
[09:02] <Someguy2> Ubuntu is kinda faster than Windows
[09:02] <Someguy2> but it did hang on me one time
[09:02] <jtrucks> as it turns out, the telnet console is only good for power cycling or I can't figure it out either :P
[09:02] <jtrucks> time to set up tunnels to get to the console.
[09:02] <jtrucks> since it's not on public space.
[09:02] <Ironsight> someguy: you mean SLI/Crossfire?
[09:02] <Someguy2> k now i have a question
[09:02] <ikonia> jtrucks: lom settings only
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> Asad2005: not had to use it, I'd imagine not though
[09:02] <jtrucks> NOW to bed.
[09:02] <jtrucks> ikonia: thanks.
[09:02] <Someguy2> yes
[09:02] <jtrucks> ikonia: yeah :(
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: ask away
[09:03] <Someguy2> is ubuntu really good at gaming
[09:03] <ikonia> no
[09:03] <Ironsight> You will probably need to install propietary driver
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: depends which games
[09:04] <Pereee> yes i have read that.. but im not sure im doing it correctly. I have my four discs. On all four i create a /swap, / and a /home partition. All these i create raid arrays from (mdx). On the first drive i create a /boot partition that is only on the first drive and marked as bootable. Is that wrong?
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: I've played many games on Ubuntu
[09:04] <ikonia> Someguy2: ubuntu has few native games, and running windows games on ubuntu is not a usable solution for every game
[09:04] <ikonia> Someguy2: if you have windows software...use windows,
[09:04] <Someguy2> Why?
[09:04] <ikonia> Someguy2: because they are designed for windows, ubuntu is a totally different operating system
[09:05] <Ironsight> To be honest I just boot win 7 for games
[09:05] <Someguy2> Well, WIne is useful
[09:05] <anabioz> да?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: because games makers use a LOT of directx and windows guff (proprietary), so its difficult to make work
[09:05] <ikonia> Someguy2: not for everything
[09:05] <anabioz> что?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: thats why not all apps work in wine
[09:05] <anabioz> как
[09:05] <ikonia> Someguy2: a game can work "ok" one work, and not work at all tomorrow depending on updates
[09:05] <ikonia> Someguy2: some stuff does not work at all and never will, so it's not a reliable solution.,
[09:05] <Someguy2> Well, there is a reason why WUBI exist
[09:06] <doxin> http://www.junauza.com/2011/04/lady-gaga-goes-gaga-over-ubuntu.html , how much of it is true?
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: there are some native games and some game developers, like ID software, make native Linux installers for their games
[09:06] <ikonia> Someguy2: wubi has nothing to do with wine
[09:06] <Someguy2> k problem solved
[09:06] <Pereee> ikonia: yes i have read that.. but im not sure im doing it correctly. I have my four discs. On all four i create a /swap, / and a /home partition. All these i create raid arrays from (mdx). On the first drive i create a /boot partition that is only on the first drive and marked as bootable. Is that wrong?
[09:06] <Someguy2> No I mean
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: wubi is different to wine
[09:06] <Someguy2> I know that
[09:06] <Someguy2> can i finosh my sentence?
[09:06] <Ironsight> Wine just barely works, and I don't dig the hassle of wine
[09:06] <Someguy2> *finish
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: why press ENTER if the sentence wasn't finished?
[09:07] <n4dsp> where can one go to get support for Evolution Mail?
[09:07] <Someguy2> Meh, Its a manarism
[09:07] <ikonia> Pereee: what you've descbribed sounds fine. however you need to make sure that your /boot partition is on the drive it's trying to boot from and that your system is looking at /boot on the drive rather than the raid array
[09:07] <Someguy2> anyways
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: then you will be misunderstood
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> n4dsp: here
[09:07] <n4dsp> good
[09:07] <Someguy2> Ubuntu is really good
[09:08] <Someguy2> almost never got a problem with it
[09:08] <n4dsp> whenever I click on a pdf or a jpg which is on my desktop and want to send it in an email as attachment and put the email address in the box , ,,,
[09:08] <Someguy2> n4dsp could be a bug or a human error
[09:08] <n4dsp> evolution mail opens but the email to that person with attachment doesnt open up.
[09:08] <n4dsp> bug i think
[09:09] <Ironsight> Sabayon to me is more geared to gaming since they install propietary drivers by default angd have a nice gaming edition
[09:09] <tularis> should i have a special version of natty for amd cpu ?
[09:09] <ikonia> tularis: no
[09:09] <Pereee> ikonia: ok. Sounds good then.. In the end of the installation i get a question to were i want to install grub.. if i want to install it in the MBR of the first drive or anywhere else. I have tried both but my guess is to /dev/sda1 (that should be my /boot partition)
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> tularis: no, any will run (except ppc)
[09:09] <ikonia> Pereee: no, masterboot record
[09:09] <Someguy2> BTW is Ubuntu Ultimate a ilgeal release?
[09:09] <Pereee> ikonia: well that does not work either..
[09:10] <Pereee> :(
[09:10] <Someguy2> I have a Ubuntu Ultimate CD
[09:10] <ikonia> Someguy2: no, it's re-spin that's not supported here as it's not official
[09:10] <tularis> k thx
[09:10] <Someguy2> Oh
[09:10] <Someguy2> thanks
[09:10] <Ironsight> illegal ??
[09:10] <ikonia> Pereee: you have a raid 10 array, is that software or hardware raid (I'm assuming linux software by your description)
[09:10] <ikonia> Ironsight: no
[09:11] <ninjaaron> p
[09:11] <Someguy2> What are the reasons Ubuntu hangs?
[09:11] <Someguy2> It did hang last summer
[09:11] <Pereee> ikonia: yes.. i create a software raid manually during installation
[09:11] <Someguy2> the window that are open is firefox
[09:11] <ikonia> Someguy2: you're using ubuntu ultimate eddition, ask their support
[09:11] <ikonia> Pereee: ok, and it's a raid 10 containing 4 disks ?
[09:11] <Someguy2> No
[09:11] <ikonia> no ?
[09:11] <Pereee> ikonia: yes
[09:11] <ikonia> no what.
[09:11] <Someguy2> Not Ultimate
[09:12] <Someguy2> Original
[09:12] <ikonia> Someguy2: , sorry, I thought you just said you had ultimate
[09:12] <csenger41> hey guys :)
[09:12] <csenger41> anyone online?
[09:12] <Someguy2> yeha but that was for my desktop
[09:12] <dpnux> Hi. I am trying to install astah .deb using Ubuntu Software center and it hang. My ubuntu is 10.10 64 bit. I tried to cancel it but no response. What can I do to cancel it?
[09:12] <Someguy2> my laptop has Ubuntu 11.04 offical
[09:12] <ikonia> Pereee: so, you also have 1 disk with /boot on
[09:12] <ikonia> Pereee: is that correct ?
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: Ultimate is offtopic here
[09:13] <Someguy2> ok
[09:13] <csenger41> i'd need some help with flash games freezes
[09:13] <Someguy2> But Ubuntu 11.04 Offcial
[09:14] <Pereee> ikonia: no.. i only have four discs im afraid.. And what im trying to do is to have the /boot partition on the first drive and not included in any raid array. Maybe thats not even possible?
[09:14] <csenger41> it happens when im moving my cursor and when i stop it, it keeps working again
[09:14] <Someguy2> Ubuntu 11.04 offcial did hang on me once and i want to know the reason why
[09:14] <ikonia> Pereee: that should be fine, so you have 4 disks, but 1 disk has 2 partitions on,
[09:15] <Pereee> ikonia: basically 4 partitions, /boot /(root) /swap and /home. All three except /boot is raid arrays that exist on all four drives
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Someguy2: Canonical releases are supported here (plus Lubuntu when Oneiric is out)
[09:15] <Pereee> ikonia: or should i only do a /boot and a / partition?
[09:15] <ikonia> Pereee: you have 1 disk that has 2 partitions on, 1 partition for /boot, the other partition is included in the raid array
[09:16] <tularis> ActionParsnip: md5 checksum is OK
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> tularis: sweet, ok so the USB boots. What happens next?
[09:18] <Pereee> ikonia: well.. im not sure.. Like this: I start up with 4 empty drives. On all those four i create /swap, /root, /home (and on the first drive a /boot) partition. With the raid "tool" i then create md0, md1 and md2 that is a /swap RAID, /root RAID and /home RAID
[09:18] <tularis> ActionParsnip: i got a full access to a live session, but on the other hand if i try to install
[09:18] <ikonia> Pereee: ok, I think you're a little confused on how it works, I'll try to explain, stop me if you get lost
[09:19] <Pereee> ikonia: thanks! I was afraid of that :)
[09:19] <tularis> at 2/3 of files copy, the install crash and send me to a frozen command black screen
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> tularis: is the drive healthy? You can fsck the partition from terminal
[09:19] <ikonia> Pereee: you need to create 1 partition on each of the 3 disks in the raid array, that are "full disks", mark the partitions as "raid", you need to create 1 primary partition on 1 disk for /boot and then a partition that is also raid, mark that partition as raid
[09:20] <tularis> ActionParsnip: i launched the drive check from the boot manager
[09:20] <ikonia> Pereee: you then make meta devices for each file system (apart from boot) out of the 4 raid partitioned disks
[09:20] <tularis> disk was healthy
[09:20] <z3ro3x> I tried to format a flash drive to fat32 and mistakenly clicked on a 500 GB hard drive with lots of data I'd like to get backigional file system was ext4.  Gparted shows it as fat32.  I tried to use testdisk to restore it and it told me to reboot after the changes.  But after the reboot gparted still shows it as fat32.  What's the deal? The or
[09:21] <Pereee> ikonia: ok, im with you.
[09:21] <z3ro3x> Ops.  I mean "Original file system was ext4"  Sorry, typo.
[09:21] <ikonia> Pereee: ok, or you can make one meta device, and partition it
[09:21] <tularis> i'll try the install another time
[09:21] <tularis> and i'll copy you the frozen command screen
[09:21] <ikonia> Pereee: eiter way will work fine, as long as you have 1 partition that is totally excluded from the raid setup.
[09:22] <ikonia> Pereee: does that help at all ?
[09:22] <Pereee> ikonia: Yes i think i get it.. What i think confuse me is what i should do with /swap and /root partitions?
[09:22] <n4dsp> guess its a tough question on the evolution mail problem
[09:23] <Pereee> ikonia: i don't need to care about that?
[09:23] <ikonia> Pereee: swap and root can be on the raid partition, no problems there
[09:23] <ikonia> Pereee: it's only /boot that needs to be %100 away from raid
[09:23] <Pereee> ikonia: ok, but i should create them after i have created the "raid"
[09:24] <ikonia> Pereee: it doesn't matter onthe order of creation, as long as the end result is /boot - seperate partition, everthing else = raid
[09:24] <ikonia> Pereee: it's useful to put /boot at the start of the first disk though
[09:24] <ikonia> Pereee: first partition on the first disk.
[09:25] <tularis> Panic occured
[09:25] <tularis> switched to text console
[09:25] <Pereee> ikonia: sorry if my questions are stupid.. Ok i will try but for me it sounds like i have done exactly that..
[09:25] <ikonia> Pereee: they are not stupid at all.
[09:25] <tularis> ActionParsnip: i got a blackscreen with a list of system call
[09:25] <Vahl> åäö
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> tularis: ok kick off the install without web access, keep it all local. Is it ok?
[09:26] <tularis> ActionParsnip: and the screen finish by panic Occured, switched to text console
[09:26] <tularis> ActionParsnip: i did
[09:26] <tularis> Without web access
[09:26] <tularis> same result
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> tularis: i see, have you tried the alternate ISO, it installs in text mode
[09:26] <The_BROS> anybody uses google docs in Ubuntu?
[09:26] <tularis> what is the alternate iso ActionParsnip
[09:26] <tularis> ?
[09:26] <tularis> oohh
[09:26] <tularis> yes i see
[09:26] <FloodBot1> tularis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:26] <Kartagis> I've got two 11.04 installations; one at home, one at work. the one at home can't play video files ie plays only the first frame then continues without video. this happens under totem. what to do? please don't tell me to use another player
[09:26] <tularis> let me try
[09:27] <ikonia> Kartagis: are the video cards different
[09:27] <tularis> Where can i check the version of my usb live ubuntu ?
[09:27] <tularis> I don't remember if it's a desktop or an alternate ><
[09:28] <Pereee> ikonia: im trying to install now so we will se how it goes.. But your recommendation is to write grub to MBR of the first drive?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> tularis: it install a desktop OS, just in text mode. There will be a text file or twon on the USB stick you can read, it will tell you the release
[09:28] <Kartagis> ikonia: could be, I'm not sure. can't check now because the one at work is off
[09:28] <ikonia> Pereee: correct, and make sure your bios is set to boot from that device
[09:28] <ikonia> Kartagis: worth checking,
[09:29] <Kartagis> ikonia: and if they are?
[09:29] <ikonia> Kartagis: well, that's where I'd start investigating
[09:29] <Kartagis> ikonia: what codecs can I install here?
[09:29] <ikonia> ? codecs......I said video card
[09:30] <tularis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/696080/
[09:30] <Kartagis> VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter <--- the one here ikonia
[09:30] <ikonia> Kartagis: is that the one thats working (I bet not)
[09:31] <tularis> ActionParsnip: before trying alternate, i should maybe try a more recent release, shouldn't I ?
[09:31] <Kartagis> ikonia: that's the one failing
[09:31] <tularis> oh
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> tularis: there is only Oneiric which is in beta, could try it. may just be silly enough to work
[09:31] <tularis> haha
[09:31] <ikonia> Kartagis: SIS video card, terrible, lots of problems. Not surprised it's failing
[09:31] <tularis> ok :P i try alternate
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: you'll more than likely need an xorg.conf for that chip, they do fine 2D display but no 3D under Linux
[09:34] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: where can I get such a xorg.conf? x.org?
[09:34] <Zimsky> How would I configure apache to serve as a proxy for a service running on port 3989?
[09:35] <Kartagis> Zimsky: #httpd
[09:36] <mobal> hello!
[09:36] <mobal> it is possible to get w or wo framebuffer high resolution in grub2? like full hd?
[09:38] <damno> how do I stop start up scripts that are executed by init?
[09:38] <Vahl> åäö
[09:39] <Pereee> ikonia: Now im trying to install.. i need to create a /swap, where do you recommend i put that
[09:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> damno: Control Center (Or something to do with system) -> Start Up Applications
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: you will find samples online using your GPU chip name in websearches
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> mobal: its a boot loader, why bother?
[09:43] <mobal> cause
[09:43] <mobal> ActionParsnip: very ugly :<
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> mobal: its on the screen for less than 2 seconds..
[09:44] <mobal> i know
[09:44] <mobal> ActionParsnip: i know, but if possible to get full hd res. than i want to try it
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> mobal: you can set the res in /etc/default/grub
[09:46] <IamTrying> #apt-get install libvisual0.4-dev ; No package found how can i install it?
[09:46] <mobal> ActionParsnip: i know, but Framebuffer 1920*1080 is unsupported by NVidia
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> mobal: sudo apt-get install hwinfo; sudo hwinfo --framebuffer
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> mobal: will show the available resolutions
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> mobal: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/   may help, I've used that to make plymouth load under proprietary drivers. Its really a worthless effort, but if you need to occupy yourself, why not
[09:48] <mobal> ActionParsnip: yes. 1920 is unavaliable. i know. but it is possible to get resolution without framebuffer? like with a driver or etc?
[09:51] <mobal> ActionParsnip: i think if 1920 is not supported, i cannot get that resolution :(
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> mobal: not if you use proprietary drivers, they don't load fast enough so you probably get no boot splash. That link is all I know of grub configs as its not of any value
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> mobal: maybe others can advise
[09:55] <doxin> http://www.junauza.com/2011/04/lady-gaga-goes-gaga-over-ubuntu.html , how much of it is true?
[09:56] <bazhang> doxin, its offtopic dont paste here
[09:56] <doxin> kay.
[09:58] <distant_voice> How do I use gconftool-2? I know the command I want to run, but when I do, I get another promt where I don't know what it wants of me
[09:59] <mokilok> Can someone please help me with a problem? I'm trying to mount a remote ntfs share using samba from bash but I don't know the command and i'm having trouble getting the one i've found to work.
[09:59] <hudeki> Would there be a problem with uninstalling evolution on 10.04?
[10:00] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> kudeki: No problem at all
[10:00] <mokilok> Is "sudo mount -t smbfs //10.0.0.100/shared_folder/ /media/windows_share -o username=Guest,password=
[10:00] <mokilok> the correct syntax?
[10:01] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> kudeki: But if apt-get wants to remove your desktop, you'll need to install aptitude, and run 'aptitiude keep-all'
[10:01] <hudeki> and from synaptic?
[10:01] <hudeki> same storry?
[10:01] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> i think
[10:02] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> I haven't used GUIs for installing in years, so IDK
[10:02] <bazhang> MAREK_BENC_NetB, that is not correct
[10:02] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> What?
[10:03] <bazhang> MAREK_BENC_NetB, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package no harm done in removing it
[10:03] <Arthur> Is there a way to make a partition in Xubuntu? I installed it on my comp and I want to also install Windows 7, but it forces me to delete the current partition because it has all the space focused on it, any idea :/ ?
[10:03] <distant_voice> running "gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gomcmd/command /home/jan/start_gomplayer %s' --type String" doesn't work, it doesn't exit back to the prompt. Does anybody have experience with gconftool-2?
[10:04] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> Yes, but if it's removed, apt will think all other packages are useless, and will prompt you to delete them with apt-get auto-clean
[10:04] <bazhang> MAREK_BENC_NetB, thats not correct
[10:04] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> s/auto-clean/auto-remove
[10:04] <distant_voice> Arthur, I think in general it's easier to install windows first and then install Ubuntu
[10:05] <Arthur> But I've already installed a lot of things in Linux, distant_voice, isn't there a way to make a new partition using some of the current space in my Linux so I can install there Windows :s ?
[10:06] <distant_voice> Arthur, there might be, but it's probably a pain in the ass compared to doing things the other way around. the problem is that windows will break GRUB in the process of uninstalling and if you don't know your way around fixing that it's be  a real hassle
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> distant_voice: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=197195&currentpage=10   has some sample commands you can steal
[10:06] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> Arthur: It's an easy fix, actually.
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> distant_voice: you could put start_gomplayer in /usr/bin instead of $HOME, it's a bit neater
[10:07] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> Arthur: I can help you with this
[10:08] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> Arthur: All that happens, is that windows overwrites the Boot sector, so it boots instead of GRUB, which is the Boot loader for Ubuntu
[10:09] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> As long as you have a LiveCD, you can simply fix it
[10:09] <Arthur> MAREK_BENC_NetB: Thanks, I once installed Linux when I had Windows 7 and it was easy because it gave me the option of installing it with Windows 7, but Windows 7 only displays me two partitions (since I've got nearly all the GBs focused in one) and it doesn't let me continue the installation, what should I do? I'd install Windows 7, but I have some important things like Skype which were hard to me to install when I started on Linux :/
[10:09] <Arthur> Some options I mean.
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> Arthur: skype is downloadable from the skype site easily
[10:11] <Arthur> ActionParsnip: I know, but I had some problems finding ways to make the microphone on cam works well.
[10:11] <Arthur> Well anyway, it's true, I should install Windows 7 and then use Xubuntu Live CD again, it'll hopefully let me install it with Windows 7
[10:11] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> Arthut: So, what's your current status, you want to install Windows?
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> Arthur: yeah skype can be a pain to get nice
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Arthur: install Windows 7 to a percentage of the drive and you wont need to mess around with resizing partitions
[10:13] <almoxarife> ubuntu > virtualbox > win7 <-- problem solved
[10:13] <blinkyb> what's a good application to extract audio from mp4?
[10:14] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> blinkyb: FFmpeg works! But it's a text app
[10:14] <almoxarife> blinkyb: ffmpeg does have a gui,
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> blinkyb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1122611
[10:14] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> ffmpeg -i name.mp4 name.wav
[10:15] <blinkyb> almoxarife, it doesn't.
[10:15] <blinkyb> MAREK_BENC_NetB, what about file location?
[10:15] <dean> Hey all I was wondering if anyone in here is knowledgeable with devede?
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> dean: ask and find out
[10:16] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> Just 'cd' into the directory, where you have your .mp4 file
[10:16] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> And i think almoxarife ment WinFF.
[10:17] <dean> ActionParsnip, I am wondering if it is possible to convert 2 movies. I know how to convert 1 but trying to do 2 for my little boy lol
[10:17] <almoxarife> MAREK_BENC_NetB: no, I meant ffmpeg in ubuntu, I am trying to find it now,
[10:17] <blinkyb> MAREK_BENC_NetB, i copied the file to desktop, what's my path gonna be? i want the converted file on desktop as well. mp3 format
[10:17] <ajith> hai
[10:18] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> blinkyb: cd Desktop, in terminal, and then type 'ffmpeg -i name.mp4 name.wav'
[10:18] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> I don't know how to convert it to mp3
[10:18] <almoxarife> MAREK_BENC_NetB: that's it, you right
[10:19] <blinkyb> MAREK_BENC_NetB, 'cd desktop' it says: bash: cd: desktop No such file or directory.
[10:19] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> With capital 'D'
[10:19] <dean> blinkyb, What are you trying to do convert mp4 to mp3?
[10:20] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> dean: yes, he is
[10:20] <dean> blinkyb, Is it a video file?
[10:20] <blinkyb> MAREK_BENC_NetB, now it's working
[10:21] <blinkyb> dean, a concert dvd which i want to extract audio from for my ipod
[10:21] <dean> blinkyb, Ah I see I was gonna suggest sound-converter if it was just audio lol
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> MAREK_BENC_NetB: the link I gave does it all for you.....
[10:22] <almoxarife> blinkyb: check out arista

[10:25] <dean> Hey does anyon know how to convert more than one file using devede?
[10:25] <Gentoo64> havent used that program in ages since it broke
[10:26] <soreau> dean: What do you mean?
[10:26] <dean> soreau, I am trying to convert 2 avi files to dvd using devede I know how to do it to make one dvd film
[10:26] <Gentoo64> dean, just add them both to the list
[10:26] <Gentoo64> then adjust disc usagge
[10:27] <soreau> dean: I know but do you mean to files in one dvd or two separate files to two separate dvd isos at once?
[10:27] <dean> Gentoo64, How do I make 2 seperate titles to click on so I can play either?
[10:27] <dean> In convertxtodvd you can put 2 films on one disc and you can choose which film to play
[10:27] <Gentoo64> dean, cant remember. theres title options in there
[10:27] <soreau> dean: You just make two separate titles and add a file to each IIRC
[10:28] <iCappy> Hi guys
[10:29] <dean> soreau, Will the title link to the correct avi file and also make one iso?
[10:29] <ikonia> oops
[10:29] <soreau> dean: Yes
[10:29] <soreau> ikonia: meant iCappy?
[10:29] <dean> soreau, Ok I will give it a go I have read tutorials but only shows you how to convert one file lol
[10:29] <soreau> thought he was a known troll..
[10:29] <ikonia> soreau: no, it was my fault/mistake
[10:30] <soreau> dean: Its pretty simple. You can only make one dvd at a time. Each title you add should have options for title text and video entries
[10:31] <blinkyb> MAREK_BENC_NetB, dean, almoxarife, sorry guys I had a phone call. so far it worked like a charm, now lemme extract the specific song from the concert and upload it to my ipod, i hope it works. thanks a lot ppl.
[10:31] <Justinfo> hi, how to stop cron ?
[10:31] <dean> soreau, On the left hand side you add the title and on the right hand side you add the video files but didn't know if it would be intelligent enough to figure it out you see
[10:31] <Element9> I've got the session saver plugin for gedit it just doesn't save the session. Anyone had a problem like that?
[10:31] <soreau> Justinfo: I dont think you should have a reason to..
[10:32] <Justinfo> i have to stop right now
[10:32] <soreau> Justinfo: probably service cron stop
[10:32] <Justinfo> poluting my mailbox
[10:32] <Justinfo> i receive every sec new mail
[10:32] <almoxarife> Element9: not in 11.04, no
[10:33] <dean> Thanks for the help anyway soreau
[10:33] <soreau> dean: It is.. but if you add more than one file to a single title, it will just put them all together without an option to select either
[10:34] <dean> soreau, Thats what I was thinking thats why I needed to find out if I added the 2 titles and then 2 files it would put them in the right order if that makes sense I am confusing myself typing lol
[10:34] <Justinfo> stop: Unknown instance:
[10:34] <soreau> dean: Well, you have to select the title you want to add the file to. In your case, you want one file per title
[10:35] <Justinfo> for service cron stop
[10:35] <soreau> Justinfo: Which version of ubntu?
[10:35] <Element9> almoxarife: yeah I'm using 10.10
[10:35] <dean> soreau, Ok thanks I appreciate the help anyway
[10:35] <soreau> dean: no problem
[10:35] <Justinfo> ubuntu lucid
[10:35] <dean> soreau, I just wish the quality was as good as convertxtodvd but prefer linux any day lol
[10:36] <Justinfo> Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS \n \l
[10:36] <soreau> Justinfo: Try sudo /etc/init.d/cron stop
[10:36] <Justinfo> both are not working
[10:36] <Justinfo> ◊Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[10:36] <Justinfo> utility, e.g. service cron stop
[10:37] <dirtycookie> hi
[10:37] <soreau> dean: In my experience, devede takes a long time but produces excellent quality. I think there are some settings for quality too
[10:37] <dirtycookie> hi i want to make my indicator plugin transparent so that it fits in my transparent pannel can someone tell me how
[10:37] <dirtycookie> i use xfce
[10:37] <dirtycookie> variant of ubuntu
[10:37] <soreau> Justinfo: It should work..
[10:37] <dean> soreau, I use the default settings I wouldn't know how to configure for better results thats probs why it aint as good as convertxtodvd imo lol
[10:38] <soreau> dean: When you add the video file, there is an advanced drop down area IIRC
[10:38] <Justinfo> i say not
[10:38] <Justinfo> that's the problem
[10:38] <soreau> Justinfo: Maybe try killing the cron process?
[10:39] <Justinfo> kill -9 cron
[10:39] <Justinfo> ?
[10:39] <dean> soreau, Yeah there is but you have to configure it which I would struggle with lol anyway thanks I am gonna go and try and convert them now
[10:40] <antonio_> ciao
[10:40] <dirtycookie1> hi i want to make my indicator plugin transparent so that it fits in my transparent pannel can someone tell me how
[10:40] <fmauro> join #c++
[10:41] <soreau> Justinfo: sudo chmod -x $(which cron) && sudo killall cron
[10:41] <soreau> Justinfo: That is really a brute force method.. note that sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/cron should set the executable flag back
[10:43] <Chotaz> Hey everyone, whats the best multiprotocol IM messenger for Ubuntu 11.04?
[10:43] <mokilok> Chotaz: Pidgin seems to be the most popular.
[10:44] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> !best | Chotaz
[10:44] <Chotaz> mokilok: I might take a look-
[10:44] <Justinfo> no cron process found soreau
[10:45] <soreau> Justinfo: Then one of those commands probably worked, Go ahead an set the executable flag back
[10:45] <Justinfo> done
[10:45] <mokilok> can someone help me with the Syntax to Mount remote ntfs shares through smb?
[10:46] <Justinfo> i also checked my mailbox there is no mail
[10:46] <Justinfo> i think is woring
[10:46] <Justinfo> working
[10:46] <Justinfo> thanks soreau
[10:47] <soreau> Justinfo: No problem. I suspect the /etc/init.d command worked, despite the warning it gave. Use the same command with start to enable it again
[10:48] <Justinfo> why i have to enable it ?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> mokilok: could add it in /etc/fstab
[10:49] <mokilok> ActionPartsnip: Yeah I had read that I could add it in their for automount of shares upon startup but I need to understand how to do in manually streight from bash
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> mokilok: http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html
[10:51] <soreau> Justinfo: I was just telling you, in case you wanted to restart itafter its fixed. It will start on next boot if the executable bit is set..
[10:51] <TheGuyWhoNeedsHe> Hello guy!
[10:51] <TheGuyWhoNeedsHe> guys*
[10:52] <lolcakez> i kinda need some help. will someone have some time to help me?
[10:52] <jrib> lolcakez: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[10:52] <lolcakez> well
[10:53] <lolcakez> i get this error when booting to install - unexpected error  0x0009
[10:53] <ubuntufriend> hello
[10:53] <jrib> lolcakez: you are trying to install ubuntu and you receive that error when you attempt to boot from the install cd?
[10:53] <lolcakez> exactly
[10:53] <ubuntufriend> im testing some programs i wrote and i want to time them, how would i do that??
[10:53] <jrib> lolcakez: without the cd, you do not receive the error?
[10:54] <lolcakez> i do
[10:54] <jrib> ubuntufriend: "time" command
[10:54] <jrib> lolcakez: at what point do you receive the error?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> lolcakez: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[10:55] <lolcakez> well, when i boot, the ubuntu menu comes up, i select the language, i select "install ubuntu" and i get the error
[10:55] <lolcakez> MD5 test?
[10:55] <lolcakez> sorry am huge newb at this
[10:55] <jrib> lolcakez: erm, and when do you get the error without the cd?
[10:55] <Sidewinder1> !md5sum | lolcakez
[10:55] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: That means to right click on a file, and select MD5 option.
[10:55] <kawb> hello, im having problems with my boot; im not sure what sda should be boot, i accidently changed it the other day and forgot where it was; http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/screenshot1fpf.png/
[10:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: As a result, you'll get something similar to this:  0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> lolcakez: you haven't tested the file you downloaded, so you have no way of knowing it is complete and error free
[10:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: You then check and see if ot exactly matches the MD5 found on the Ubuntu website.
[10:56] <MonkeyDust> kawb: type df -h to check
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> lolcakez: MD5 test isn't Ubuntu specific, so being new to Ubuntu is moot
[10:57] <ismailov> hii pllese join linux-bg.org in facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/linux-bgorg/165834412004
[10:57] <jrib> kawb: well you only have one linux partition that's not swap
[10:57] <Night-hacks> im on 11.04 with gnome 2.32 , some rendering problems, sometimes some parts of screen renders badly ?
[10:57] <jrib> lolcakez: what do you mean "without the cd I get it when it just starts to install itself"?  When what starts to install itself?
[10:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Night-hacks: Unity did that? is that the reason you're on Gnome now?
[10:57] <kawb> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/eZSw96T8
[10:58] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Night-hacks: You might want to try unity-2d then. That is what I am using now.
[10:58] <lolcakez> okay so what i need to do? i really cant understand
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> kawb: you are using backtrack which isn't suported here
[10:58] <MonkeyDust> kawb: where's swap and /home?
[10:58] <Night-hacks> Ubuntusawr[xD]: how to try unity2d ?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: spot the backtrack wallpaper dude ;)
[10:59] <lolcakez> okay so what i need to do? i really cant understand
[10:59] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Night-hacks: Open up terminal. Then type in: sudo apt-get install unity-2d
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> kawb: you OS is supported in #backtrack-linux   not here
[10:59] <ujjain> What torrent software is controlled from a web interface like sabnzd?
[10:59] <MonkeyDust> kawb: u using backtrack?
[10:59] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: Sure, I will tell you  in a bit. What operating system are you on right now?
[10:59] <kawb> MonkeyDust: uhh idk :s lol - but i do have ubuntu installed aswell..
[10:59] <lolcakez> im on windows 7 ultimate
[10:59] <kawb> ActionParsnip: im also using ubuntu.
[10:59] <ubuntufriend> what does rm -rf do?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> ujjain: transmission, rtorrent, ktorrent and utorrent are 4 I can think of fast
[10:59] <Night-hacks> Ubuntusawr[xD]: but what about gnome ? can i fix it ?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> kawb: you are using bactrack now, that isn't supported here
[11:00] <Mikey^> kawb: uname -a, paste it here
[11:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: What's the name of the software you will use to burn a CD.            (Will you install using a CD, or your USB flash drive? CD is the popular way to go).
[11:00] <kawb> ActionParsnip: yes, but im having ubuntu problems aswell..
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> ubuntufriend: forcefully removes a folder and its content, it is to be avoided unless ABSOLUELY necessary
[11:00] <ujjain> utorrent in ubuntu, interesting
[11:00] <lolcakez> I installit on a CD with usual Windows CD burner, im on safe mode(at windows 7).
[11:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Night-hacks: How exactly did you download the Ubuntu CD?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> ujjain: it isn't packaged, so installing isn't graceful but it can be used
[11:00] <ubuntufriend> oh
[11:01] <kawb> Mikey^: Linux bt 2.6.39.4 #1 SMP Wed Aug 17 21:42:30 EDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:01] <ubuntufriend> so i better not run it then
[11:01] <Night-hacks> Ubuntusawr[xD]: the one canonical suggested
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> kawb: you are also not using an ubuntu kernel
[11:01] <ujjain> ActionParsnip: thanks :)
[11:02] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Night-hacks: Can you please show me that webpage?
[11:02] <kawb> ActionParsnip: ahh fair enough.
[11:02] <Night-hacks> Ubuntusawr[xD]: not sure, it's about 2-3 months ago
[11:02] <lolcakez> What now, Ubuntusawr[xD]?
[11:02] <pythonsnake> Ubuntu is a great OS !
[11:03] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Night-hacks: Oh sorry, that question was suppose to go to lolcakez.
[11:03] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: How exactly did you download that Ubuntu CD?
[11:03] <lolcakez> I downloaded ubuntu iso file from ubuntu home-page and burned it to a cd.
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> lolcakez: you need to test the ISO
[11:04] <lolcakez> aight, how do i do that
[11:04] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: Exact software name please?
[11:04] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> That you used for burning.
[11:05] <lolcakez> windows cd burner, the program what windows has from the start
[11:05] <firas> Hi guys, I'm a developer. Kernel.org is down , where can i download some linux packages like iproute2 ?
[11:05] <ikonia> firas: that's not really an ubuntu issue
[11:05] <ikonia> firas: or are you talking about ubuntu repos ?
[11:05] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: Did that verified? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=windows7_burn.jpg
[11:06] <lolcakez> yeah
[11:06] <firas> I know but I can't find anyone on linux from scratch IRC
[11:06] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Okay.
[11:06] <ikonia> firas: that's not our problem
[11:06] <Mikey^> firas: did you try kernel.org mirrors
[11:06] <firas> Ok Thanks
[11:07] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> kernel.oeg is down
[11:07] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lolcakez: Use this software to check the MD5 of your CD: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/checksum_control_portable
[11:07] <MAREK_BENC_NetB> s/.oeg/.org
[11:07] <pamwe_chete> is there a command line application that can covert pdf files to html?
[11:07] <cutiyar> there is any app to let me create video with mp3 ?
[11:07] <lolcakez> okay
[11:07] <pythonsnake> Hmm. hmm.
[11:08] <pythonsnake> xev doesn't detect my fn+f9
[11:08] <LjL> !info poppler-utils | pamwe_chete
[11:08] <pythonsnake> I'm using 10.04
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> lolcakez: also try cdburnerxp or some other free app (will use standard burning stuff)
[11:08] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> It's a portable app, so... What this means is that a "Portable App" doesn't really install into your system. It just create a "small" folder where you can just  Open and use the program Right-out the Box!
[11:08] <kawe> ActionParsnip: did you ban me?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> kawe: no
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> kawe: I'm not an op
[11:08] <kawe> ActionParsnip: odd.. i cant join backtrack-linux and i dont think ive ever been there..
[11:09] <rww> kawe: *!~root@* is banned from there
[11:09] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> kawe: Change your IDENT
[11:09] <megalomix> hello
[11:09] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Or USERNAME
[11:09] <kawe> Ubuntusawr[xD]: how do i do that
[11:09] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> kawe: Or simply, don't login to chat as root.
[11:09] <Mikey^> kawe: dont ever irc as root
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[11:09] <megalomix> guys I read that TLS 1.0 is buggy, how could i use TLS 1.2 i think it is supported by openssl no?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> yeah it is #backtrack-linux
[11:10] <kawe> Ubuntusawr[xD]: , Mikey^  its bt im forced as root lol
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> I just joined, 183 users are in there
[11:10] <megalomix> ?
[11:11] <Mikey^> kawe: useradd -m kawe; passwd kawe
[11:11] <pythonsnake> is there anyway to get 2.6.35 ?
[11:11] <pythonsnake> with 10.04
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> kawe: no, you aren't. your distro insists on you logging in as root (bad idea) so you launch your irc client as root (worse idea) and tries to use that username in irc
[11:12] <Mikey^> kawe: I guess you are using xchat
[11:12] <kawe> Mikey^: irrsi
[11:12] <Mikey^> Hmm, use -n kawe
[11:12] <kawe> -n kawe
[11:12] <Mikey^> hmm, I mean create a user and then use irrsi. Most channels block root
[11:13] <kawe> after i create my account how do i log in instead of root
[11:13] <kawe> -n: command not found
[11:13] <Mikey^> kawe:  on the commandline, su - kawe
[11:13]  * ActionParsnip shakes his head
[11:13] <kawe> brb
[11:14] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> kawe: Type this command in irssi Terminal chat client:              /set user_name someuser
[11:14] <Mikey^> Ubuntusawr[xD]: isnt that the nickname used at irc or?
[11:15] <Mikey^> interesting..
[11:15] <pythonsnake> What is the latest LTS linux kernel ?
[11:16] <Sidewinder1> 2.6.32..33.72
[11:16] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Mikey^: IDENT/Username            Most people ends up having root for user/ident on IRC (internet relay chat). So I asked him/her to change it. Some chat rooms bans  *!root@*
[11:18] <heli> hi does anyone know how to execute bas command as root before  user login?
[11:19] <pythonsnake> How to get in root ?
[11:19] <LjL> !root | Python1320
[11:19] <RoDiMuS-X> su
[11:19] <LjL> pythonsnake even
[11:19] <Colin969_> Anyone know any Java specific IRC Channels?
[11:19] <LjL> Colin969_: ##java
[11:19] <pythonsnake> RoDiMuS-X: what is pass
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> heli: add it in /etc/rc.local  above the exit 0 line
[11:19] <RoDiMuS-X> do, sudo chpasswd
[11:19] <Gentoo64> pythonsnake, use sudo -i to get a root terminal
[11:19] <Valentin|Flea86> Anyone know any homebrew PC /retro channels?
[11:19] <RoDiMuS-X> set it to what you want
[11:20] <RoDiMuS-X> then su
[11:20] <ikonia> Valentin|Flea86: no
[11:20] <pythonsnake> thanks
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Valentin|Flea86: #hardware possibly...
[11:20] <Valentin|Flea86> thanks for the replies :)
[11:20] <LjL> !noroot | RoDiMuS-X
[11:20] <RoDiMuS-X> Anyone know where update-manager stores a log file?
[11:20] <Gentoo64> why do you not "support" root password btw?
[11:21] <pythonsnake> ha!
[11:21] <pythonsnake> found it!
[11:21] <pythonsnake> sudo su
[11:21] <Mikey^> Gentoo64: because ubuntu defaults to sudo
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> Gentoo64: too dangerous, security etc
[11:21] <LjL> Gentoo64: because sudo can be used to access root just fine
[11:21] <Mikey^> and locks the root user by default
[11:21] <Gentoo64> i know, just wondered
[11:21] <pythonsnake> LjL: sudo su :)
[11:21] <LjL> pythonsnake: sudo su is silly, use sudo -i
[11:21] <pythonsnake> same
[11:22] <pythonsnake> thanks :-D
[11:22] <RoDiMuS-X> Thats like saying you can't root or jailbreak your phone
[11:22] <LjL> RoDiMuS-X: nonsense.
[11:22] <pythonsnake> how can I get 2.6.35 ?
[11:22] <Mikey^> :)
[11:22] <LjL> pythonsnake: not same, sudo su doesn't set up the environment properly, sudo -i does
[11:22] <heli> ActionParsnip by adding it to /etc/rc.local it gets executed at the end of every level? how can i run it just once?
[11:22] <pythonsnake> LjL: ah ok
[11:23] <BBop> Bonjour, j'ai une pièce avec 4 PC dedans, j'ai un pc relié par CPL avec ma Box, j'aimerais connaître un moyen de duppliquer la connexion Internet pour l'offrir aux autres PC, que puis-je faire ?
[11:23] <LjL> !fr | BBop
[11:23] <RoDiMuS-X> So I take it nobody knows where update-manager stores its log files?
[11:23] <Mikey^> RoDiMuS-X: check in /var/log
[11:23] <Mikey^> should be there somewhere
[11:24] <RoDiMuS-X> its not in there
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> heli: just before the login screen (or prompt) shows, it runs
[11:24] <pythonsnake> sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-backport-oneiric linux-headers-generic-lts-backport-oneiric
[11:24] <RoDiMuS-X> there is term.log but that just shows the packages that were installed
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> RoDiMuS-X: /var/log/dpkg.log
[11:24] <pythonsnake> E: Couldn't find package linux-image-generic-lts-backport-oneiric
[11:24] <pythonsnake> any ideas ?
[11:24] <RoDiMuS-X> I am looking for error log
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> pythonsnake: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric
[11:24] <RoDiMuS-X> let me check that thank ActionParsnip
[11:24] <heli> ok
[11:24] <pythonsnake> ActionParsnip: it's not oneiric, but lucid
[11:24] <pythonsnake> ActionParsnip: backports of kernel
[11:24] <pythonsnake> as you can see
[11:25] <heli> btw code i wanted to run is:echo "10" > "/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> pythonsnake: then what you are doing is not supported either. Mixing packages between releases is not advised
[11:25] <heli> i ve noticed it worces only once
[11:25] <heli> do you think it would  work before login?
[11:26] <heli> it's supposed to set backlight level
[11:26] <Colin969_> Will Terminal ask for a password when trying to delete a file?
[11:26] <LjL> Colin969_: no
[11:26] <pythonsnake> http://askubuntu.com/questions/47796/can-i-update-the-kernel-of-my-10-04-lts-to-the-latest-kernel ActionParsnip
[11:26] <Colin969_> Ah, good.
[11:26] <dirtycookie> hi i need some help plz
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> pythonsnake: its in the kernel ppa http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/364792   use at your own risk
[11:26] <LjL> Colin969_: but you'll need to use "sudo" (which does ask for a password) if you want to delete files not owned by you
[11:26] <Gentoo64> Colin969_, you can use rm -i for confirmation
[11:26] <pythonsnake> !ask | dirtycookie
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Colin969_: not if you don't use sudo
[11:27] <Colin969_> Oh, so I cant delete the contents of /tmp without a password.
[11:27] <dirtycookie> i have freshly installed xubuntu and i want to change the fore- and background color of my indicator plugin
[11:27] <dirtycookie> how can i do that
[11:27] <Gentoo64> Colin969_, why woud you
[11:27] <Gentoo64> some are X stuff
[11:27] <Gentoo64> tmp isnt all owned by user
[11:27] <Mikey^> Colin969_: It will be done on boot
[11:27] <lng> hi! I have latest Ubuntu on my laptop, but it has classic Gnome UI. How to switch to that modern one?
[11:28] <Colin969_> I pressumed that was the Temporary folder o_O
[11:28] <Gentoo64> Colin969_, it is
[11:28] <Gentoo64> gets cleared on boot
[11:28] <Colin969_> Oh.
[11:28] <lng> dirtycookie: what a nice nickname! ;-)
[11:28] <Mikey^> lol
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> lng: log of, select Ubuntu from the session menu and log in
[11:28] <dirtycookie> i know :p thx
[11:28] <RoDiMuS-X> lng: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[11:28] <lng> gome-shell?
[11:28] <Gentoo64> gnome 3 is bad though on ubuntu is it not?
[11:28] <lng> ActionParsnip: k
[11:29] <RoDiMuS-X> lng: yes
[11:29] <Mikey^> lng: what version of ubuntu do you use?
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> >°))))><
[11:29] <dirtycookie> lng: named my laptop littlebit
[11:29] <pythonsnake> ActionParsnip: xev doesn't detect fn+f9, after googling, I discovered that it's a 32 bug and it's fixed at 35. is there any supported way to upgrade ?
[11:29] <dirtycookie> lng: since it is a eeePC
[11:29] <Gentoo64> Python1320, be easiest to use a newer ubuntu
[11:29] <lng> natty
[11:29] <RoDiMuS-X> lng: if you are running natty, http://www.dreamingisdigital.com/2011/05/28/gnome-3-and-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[11:29] <Mikey^> dirtycookie: what model?
[11:30] <pulse00> hi all. anyone knows how to find the partition a specific directory is mounted in?
[11:30] <ikonia> pythonsnake: no, there is not
[11:30] <dirtycookie> Mikey^: 4g
[11:30] <Gentoo64> pulse00, type mount
[11:30] <Gentoo64> or df -h
[11:30] <Mikey^> dirtycookie: what? your eeepc
[11:31] <pythonsnake> ikonia: ah ok
[11:31] <dirtycookie> Mickey^: yes that is what i found on the back of the eeePC
[11:31] <Gentoo64> RoDiMuS-X, afaik gnome 3 isnt supported. even in the link it warns it could break
[11:31] <Mikey^> Hmm, ok
[11:31] <pythonsnake> so I have to use it at my own risk :-)
[11:31] <RoDiMuS-X> Yeah I wrote it
[11:31] <lng> RoDiMuS-X: cheers!
[11:32] <Gentoo64> good luck lol
[11:32] <dirtycookie> Mikey^: i think it is a 901
[11:32] <lng> RoDiMuS-X: is it stable?
[11:32] <RoDiMuS-X> I am using it
[11:32] <lng> k
[11:32] <RoDiMuS-X> I have been since May
[11:32] <RoDiMuS-X> There are some bugs
[11:32] <lng> RoDiMuS-X: I am Gentoo user - hope it will not be too hard
[11:32] <lng> :-)
[11:32] <Gentoo64> but people come in here saying "I installed gnome 3" now i got to reinstall
[11:32] <RoDiMuS-X> If you are comfortable with restoring, then I don't recommend
[11:32] <Odaym> gnome 3 must die
[11:32] <lng> why?
[11:33] <lng> Odaym: ^
[11:33] <Odaym> why not?
[11:33] <Gentoo64> gnome 3 is nice. but bloated
[11:33] <RoDiMuS-X> 11.10 is running on Gnome 3
[11:33] <lng> Gentoo64: hey!
[11:33] <Mikey^> You can always use the classic gnome by using fallback mode
[11:33] <Mic1> Because it's not what I'm used to and I'm afraid of change and such and tired of learning
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> or use Mint
[11:33] <Gentoo64> lng, hi
[11:33] <zeroedout> woot gnome 3!
[11:33] <IdleOne> !ot
[11:33] <RoDiMuS-X> lng: if you like Unity, that Gnome 3 install will break it
[11:34] <lng> Gentoo64: I have Gentoo as well
[11:34] <Gentoo64> ok
[11:34] <lng> :-)
[11:34] <RoDiMuS-X> If your like me, and dislike Unity then no problems
[11:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> RoDiMuS-X: I thought that's Unity BASED on Gnome 3.
[11:34] <pulse00> Gentoo64: my actual problem is that i need to enable acl for the partition in /etc/fstab. however, the ubuntu system is running in a virtual machine at my hosting provider. i'm having fear of f*cking things up ;) this is the /etc/fstab: https://gist.github.com . not sure if the partition for the acl setting is already in there
[11:34] <RoDiMuS-X> This is correct
[11:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> RoDiMuS-X: Woah woah woah, why the hate?
[11:34] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> o_O
[11:34] <Bartzy> root is limited to max number of open files as defined in /etc/security/limits.conf , or only to ulimit shell limits ? Are those two connected ?
[11:34] <RoDiMuS-X> No hate I dislike
[11:35] <dirtycookie>  i have freshly installed xubuntu and i want to change the fore- and background color of my indicator plugin, does anyone know how to do this??
[11:35] <lng> Gentoo64: I have mutiple PCs
[11:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> It's like the sexiest change I've seen in Ubuntu.
[11:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> RoDiMuS-X: Well I mean to say, why the dislike. xD
[11:35] <lng> Gentoo64: for laptop - Ubuntu. for home pc - Gentoo
[11:35] <lng> Gentoo64: for servers - Debian
[11:35] <Gentoo64> lng, ok. i think itss offtopic
[11:35] <RoDiMuS-X> Ubuntusawr[xD],  it does not function in an efficient manner for how I do things.
[11:35] <Gentoo64> :)
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> for laptop - xpud :)
[11:36] <dirtycookie> i have freshly installed xubuntu and i want to change the fore- and background color of my indicator plugin, does anyone know how to do this??
[11:36] <lng> Gentoo64: I don't kare
[11:36] <lng> ;-)
[11:36] <IdleOne> lng: Please start
[11:36] <lng> IdleOne: pardon?
[11:36] <RoDiMuS-X> Ubuntusawr[xD], I like to customize, I like how Gnome-Shell has extensions that can be written using JavaScript
[11:37] <IdleOne> lng: start caring about our channel guidelines.
[11:37] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> RoDiMuS-X: As in what terms? is it slow? o_O    In my experience, Unity performed better for me than Gnome 2 (metacity), sometimes, metacity would "bloat" in memory size from time to time. Oftenly, near 100MBs, and ont time, it has gotten to like 400MB of ram :S
[11:37] <IdleOne> !guidelines > lng just in case you haven't read them.
[11:37] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> RoDiMuS-X: Ah, I se. Awesome.
[11:37] <lng> IdleOne: I already told you.
[11:37] <RoDiMuS-X> Ubuntusawr[xD], Not speed, Tweakiness :D
[11:37] <lng> bye
[11:38] <RoDiMuS-X> Ubuntusawr[xD], I will admit the lens feature is pretty cool but I like having no dock and Unity docks to the left
[11:38] <xgt001> hello... i installed kde in my default ubuntu install... but now the chromium and firefox browser fonts look kde style even in unity... please tell me how to revert to default ubuntu look
[11:38] <pythonsnake> I've added ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa repo but linux-lts-backport-oneiric
[11:39] <pythonsnake> opps
[11:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> RoDiMuS-X: But it at least autohides. But I see your point.
[11:39] <pythonsnake> I've added ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa repo but it doesn't find linux-lts-backport-oneiric package
[11:39] <RoDiMuS-X> Ubuntusawr[xD], Thats the awesome thing about Linux, so many choices, So I never say I hate something because I know people put in hard work to create
[11:39] <Gentoo64> xgt001, installing more than 1 de is a mess. youll get stuff autostarted, and config files changed all over the place
[11:40] <Mikey^> xgt001: you can configure how gtk apps look in kde in the kde control center
[11:40] <ikonia> pythonsnake: remember the bit "not supported" - this is it
[11:40] <pythonsnake> even repo related problem ? ikonia
[11:40] <Gentoo64> Python1320, why dont you use a newer ubuntu where the kernels get updated?
[11:40] <ikonia> pythonsnake you'll find that packages for a distro that isn't stable/released won't get backported too
[11:41] <pythonsnake> Gentoo64: 11.04 ?
[11:41] <Gentoo64> afaik 11.04 hasnt got 2.6.32
[11:41] <Gentoo64> so yes
[11:41] <pythonsnake> ikonia: what do you mean ? I don't undersand your last statement
[11:41] <ikonia> pythonsnake: 11.10 isn't released/stable yet, so why would people backport packages from it
[11:41] <ikonia> !info linux-image natty
[11:42] <ikonia> there you go 11.04 has 2.6.38
[11:42] <pythonsnake> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/364792 ikonia
[11:42] <RoDiMuS-X> Linux 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu
[11:42] <fireprint> hi guys. i like my setup as is, on natty gui. But now that im "done".. id like my server to close down gui, but keep network settings and what not. Any way to do this?
[11:43] <ikonia> pythonsnake: I can see it.
[11:43] <toumbo> Please check those links http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/d6b33a27e
[11:43] <test> is anyone knows how i can get the network utilisation statistics from zabbix database?
[11:43] <Mikey^> fireprint: are you using ubuntu-server ?
[11:43] <toumbo> http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/d2f218d3f
[11:43] <fireprint> i know how to boot up without gui, however my network is not saved. And having it wpa i am having serious issues trying to get the network working.
[11:44] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Mikey^: Apparently not.
[11:44] <fireprint> mikey^ no sir.
[11:44] <Mikey^> Mikey^: you can try using wicd
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> fireprint: add the boot option: text
[11:45] <pythonsnake> when will 11.04 support be dropped?
[11:45] <fireprint> ActionParsnip, i've done that. However when it boots directly from grub into text.. my wifi on the server wont connect. having trouble with wpa.. which works just fine on guimode.
[11:45] <jrib> pythonsnake: 11.04 + 1.06 = 12.10
[11:45] <fireprint> i've had *nix for 3 days now, so sorry if my explaining is a bit off.
[11:45] <Mikey^> fireprint: Use wicd
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> fireprint: +1 for wicd
[11:46] <fireprint> Mikey^, oh i can use wicd in termina?
[11:46] <Mikey^> It has a commandline connetion utiliy
[11:46] <Mikey^> fireprint: yes you can
[11:46] <Mikey^> fireprint: wicd-cli
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Mikey^: it is a GUI app and also has wicd-ncurses
[11:46] <fireprint> ohh.. nice. that might actually do the trick. I thought that was only for gui. thank you botjh ActionParsnip and Mikey^
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> fireprint: ^
[11:46] <Mikey^> ActionParsnip: yes, I know
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Mikey^: wrong target, my bad
[11:47] <xgt001> Mikey^: where to find it? in system settings in kde ?? sorry i am a kde noob
[11:47] <fireprint> again.. thanks guys! appreciate the help.
[11:47] <Mikey^> xgt001: Sorry, you have to install a package to get that option
[11:48] <pythonsnake> so 10.04 support will be dropped before 11.04 ?
[11:48] <ikonia> pythonsnake: no
[11:48] <ikonia> !lts
[11:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: I believe @ 12.10.
[11:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> jrib was hinting at time.
[11:49] <Mikey^> xgt001: the package name is kde-config-gtk-style
[11:49] <Martin_> I can connect to my server but it seems to have issues with outgoing connections
[11:49] <Martin_> sendspacedev:~# curl -i 199.59.149.232
[11:49] <Martin_> curl: (7) Failed to connect to 199.59.149.232: Network is unreachable
[11:49] <Sidewinder1> pythonsnake, Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29
[11:49] <Martin_> that's twitter.. any ideas what would cause it?
[11:49] <ikonia> pythonsnake: so 10.04 = 04/2010 + 3 years support for desktop, 5 for server
[11:50] <ikonia> pythonsnake: 11.04 = 04/2011 + 18months support for desktop+server
[11:50] <xgt001> Mikey^: could u please tell that package name?
[11:50] <xgt001> thanks :)
[11:50] <gahmehgahmehha> hey there pythonsnake
[11:51] <Milossh> hello. When I want to create an archive, split into volumes options are greyed out
[11:51] <Milossh> what's wrong?
[11:52] <Milossh> 11.04
[11:52] <StevenR> Martin_: looks like a network routing problem
[11:52] <fireprint> Mikey^,  quick question about wicd. It seems to just do "rename failed" any quicfix for this or do i need to check into it.
[11:52] <pythonsnake> gahmehgahmehha: sup
[11:53] <Martin_> ~# curl -i google.com
[11:53] <Martin_> curl: (7) Failed to connect to 209.85.229.99: Network is unreachable
[11:53] <Zerpy> his everyone, does anybody knows a tool, to benchmark web-applications with? etc. Scalability?
[11:53] <Martin_> StevenR: nope.. :)
[11:53] <pythonsnake> ikonia: thanks
[11:53] <Martin_> it's definitely an issue with my configs or something.. it's a vbox image
[11:53] <StevenR> Martin_: well. feel free to provide more information
[11:53] <Martin_> StevenR: like what? I can ssh into it and i can view the http server running on it
[11:53] <Martin_> it just seems to have issues connecting to anything
[11:53] <Martin_> it has 3 network interfaces all setup via a bridged network adapter on my mac
[11:54] <Mikey^> fireprint: You should run only one, either wicd or network manager. I think you need to stop and disable network manager first
[11:54] <fireprint> ah i see. probably due to the fact that im still in gui.. thanks again!
[11:54] <stan_> hej
[11:54] <StevenR> Martin_: ok. pastebin the output of ifconfig -a  and route -n   then.
[11:54] <fireprint> logging off now. be back on my laptop upstairs. freakin cold down here in the basement. hehe
[11:55] <Martin_> StevenR: http://pastie.org/private/nmsgf59onx9ljbhtcxnmnq
[11:55] <StevenR> Martin_: you have no gateway configured
[11:56] <xgt001> Mikey^: should i login and logout to make the changes effective?
[11:56] <Mikey^> xgt001: I dont think so
[11:56] <StevenR> Martin_: the routing table has no entries to allow it to work out what to do with addresses that aren't 192.168.0.x
[11:57] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: You can use firebug or Chrome SpeedTest
[11:57] <Zerpy> RodiMus-X: So I can test for concurrent connections, and so on?
[11:58] <Martin_> StevenR: how do I add one? /etc/network/interfaces I guess?
[11:59] <StevenR> Martin_: yes
[11:59] <StevenR> Martin_: under the main interface stanza, do gateway 192.168.0.x  (using the IP of your router of course)
[11:59] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: I use Chrome developer tools for that
[12:00] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: on the client side
[12:00] <Martin_> StevenR: yep got it... ifdown/ifup and now it's working
[12:00] <Martin_> thanks for your help
[12:00] <StevenR> np
[12:00] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: on the server side, I look at my httpd logs
[12:01] <Sidewinder1> Milossh, Since no one else answered, I'll take a guess; perhaps you need to create the archive first, then split into volumes? Just a guess.
[12:01] <Zerpy> RoDiMus-X: That I mean is like, how much requests/s I can get if I have etc. 100 "users" loading the site at same time, like scalability testing
[12:01] <Milossh> Sidewinder1, nope. I found out it doesn't work with default set of archive types. Works with rar though
[12:01] <django> hey, can someone help me locate the evolution plugins folder?
[12:01] <TheGuyWhoNeedsHe> does anyone have some time to help me
[12:01] <Milossh> but thanks Sidewinder1
[12:01] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: Do you have a test server setup
[12:02] <Sidewinder1> Milossh, My pleasure.
[12:02] <Zerpy> RoDiMuS-X: Yeah
[12:03] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: you running Apache, PHP MySQL setup on the test
[12:03] <Mikey^> django: /usr/lib/evolution/
[12:03] <Zerpy> RoDiMuS-X: yep
[12:03] <django> thanks Mikey^
[12:04] <RoDiMuS-X> Ok I think I might have the tool for you
[12:05] <Zerpy> RoDiMuS-X: nice!
[12:05] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: Jmeter
[12:05] <Mikey^> django: but you can also use it in your own home dir
[12:05] <Mikey^> check .evolution/
[12:06] <RoDiMuS-X> Zerpy: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/
[12:06] <Zerpy> RoDiMus-X: Thank you!, I will look into it
[12:07] <soreau> ubottu: ping
[12:10] <mike-w> hi,folks
[12:11] <mike-w> i compiled a program and install it, but now i want to uninstall it. how can i accomplish this?
[12:11] <fireprint> hi again guys. grub in text mode and wicd still tells me rename was faulty. So ill just stick around here incase i need to ask something :)
[12:13] <fireprint> will network manager run eventhough its on textmode and not gui?
[12:14] <Mikey^> fireprint: yes, stop the service
[12:14] <Mikey^> disable it, so it wont run on boot up
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> fireprint, I could be totally wrong and perhaps I didn't understand your original question but, couldn't you just boot into normal GUI, then hit "Ctrl-Alt-F1" to 'blow' GUI and get to command line/
[12:14] <fireprint> thank you again Mikey^ ..
[12:15] <Kirior> i have a 1TB HDD that i lost all m files on and the Ubuntu cannot see the whole size (onl about 15GB is visible) is there an program i can use to recover and fix it?
[12:15] <Mikey^> Sidewinder1: GUI still runs, he doesnt want that
[12:15] <Kirior> Sidewinder1: hi how are ou?
[12:15] <fireprint> sidewinder1: yeah what Mikey^ said. hehe trying to cut down on recources on my server as its a old computer. ;)
[12:15] <Sidewinder1> Mikey^, Figured that was too simple of an answer. :D
[12:15] <ANDruid> any hotkey for workspace switcher??
[12:15] <Mikey^> Sidewinder1: :D
[12:16] <Sidewinder1> Kirior, Mornin'.
[12:16] <Kirior> Sidewinder1: how ou been? me letter no working :P
[12:16] <todd_> I am looking for a command that I can execute that will take a single picture from my webcam, BUT I want it to prompt the user with a preview so they can be sure its in frame... help!?
[12:16] <Sidewinder1> ?
[12:19] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> IdleOne: Are you here by any chance?
[12:19] <todd_> I am looking for a command that I can execute that will take a single picture from a webcam, BUT I want it to prompt the user with a preview so they can be sure its in frame... help!?
[12:20] <IdleOne> Ubuntusawr[xD]: yes.
[12:20] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Mind if I show you something real quick in private. (It's not my issue, but it's relating to ubuntu)
[12:20] <IdleOne> sure thing
[12:21] <Kirior> Sidewinder1: m last endovours were complete disaster :P
[12:22] <OerHeks> todd_,  use cheese
[12:22] <Kirior> Sidewinder1: almost completl messed m grub and bootloader after installing that distro i mentioned
[12:23] <todd_> DerHeks: How do you run cheese to take a single picture? I cant seem to find the man pages for command line arguments?
[12:23] <soreau> !webcam
[12:23] <soreau> !info cheese
[12:24] <todd_> ubottu: I read that, not much help on the single pic issue.
[12:24] <todd_> lol
[12:24] <todd_> I am looking for a command that I can execute that will take a single picture from my webcam, BUT I want it to prompt the user with a preview so they can be sure its in frame... help!?
[12:24] <OerHeks> todd_, why commandline if you want to show it afterwards, makes no sense ..
[12:24] <xgt001> in synpatic, mark for complete removal refers to sudo apt-get purge right?
[12:25] <OerHeks> use a mouse like everybody ?
[12:25] <Kirior> an one here know a program to recover lost files and messed tables in external HDD? (it was 1TB now it sees onl 15GB or less)
[12:26] <xgt001> Kirior: testdisk is very good
[12:26] <todd_> DerHeks: No I want to take 1 and only one pic, but I only want it taken when the persons face is in frame, not 1/2 off the screen
[12:26] <joel135> xgt001: I've always thought that
[12:26] <todd_> DerHeks: Make sense?
[12:27] <soreau> !info streamer | todd_
[12:27] <Kirior> xgt001: will it fix that small part that loads before bootloader that is responsible for overseeing the whole size of hdd? (i hope its clear enough)
[12:28] <soreau> todd_: streamer -f jpeg -o /path/to/image.jpeg then script it to show you the image and do what you want
[12:28] <todd_> soreau: No streamer takes a picture immediatly, so the person Im taking a pic of is probably 1/2 out of frame, is there a way to get it to wait till the person is in frame?
[12:28] <OerHeks> soreau you re-invented cheese :-D
[12:29] <bj0rn2> how long does it take from a package version is released until it's available in the repository?
[12:29] <joel135> todd_: you can save pictures using mplayer: http://www.infohit.net/blog/post/taking-snapshots-from-a-webcam-under-linux.html
[12:29] <soreau> todd_: There is no program to do that. You just have to take the pic, open it to view it and decide if its acceptable then delete and repeat if not etc
[12:29] <xangua> !latest | bj0rn2
[12:30] <soreau> joel135: nice
[12:30] <joel135> todd_: I'd suggest you write a small script
[12:30] <todd_> joel: mplayer has the same issue... it takes a picture immediatly, so the person Im taking a pic of is probably 1/2 out of frame, is there a way to get it to wait till the person is in frame?
[12:30] <soreau> indeed
[12:30] <soreau> todd_: You need to write a script to suit your needs
[12:30] <todd_> joel135: This was no problem in windows, :-(
[12:31] <todd_> soreu: OK how?
[12:31] <bj0rn2> xangua: that's not what I mean, I mean a fix for a package. example gnome-shell 3.1.92-0ubuntu1 was released a few days ago but in repo I get the previous 3.1.90.1-0ubuntu4
[12:31] <joel135> todd_: make mplayer open a video stream from the camera in a window. when the window is closed, next command will be run. that command should save the image to a filesystem.
[12:32] <xangua> bj0rn2: sounds like that is what you mean
[12:32] <soreau> todd_: take pic, open it to view, if acceptable, enter y, else enter n and have it delete the image and start at step one
[12:32] <todd_> joel135: ICK! really? close the window to take the picture, not real intuitive is it?
[12:32] <joel135> todd_: so: display video from device; take picture
[12:33] <bj0rn2> xangua: yeah you are right :) but it's in oneiric repo so upgrades are released
[12:33] <joel135> todd_: you could write a small application to do it if you don't think it's too much of a waste of time
[12:33] <todd_> Come on people, its such a simple thing, a command that will take a picture of something, not just take a picture... there has to be something???
[12:34] <OerHeks> todd_, there is, cheese ..
[12:34] <soreau> todd_: You are making this way more difficult than what it is
[12:34] <soreau> todd_: There are a plethora of tools and ways to do this. Get creative.
[12:35] <iridium> todd_, it takes 2 seconds to capture or what?
[12:35] <todd_> soreau: OK simplify it for me... please :-)
[12:35] <soreau> todd_: In one word? Cheese.
[12:35] <todd_> soreau: OK how do I know when the picture was taken with cheese?
[12:35] <jcook_5xdata> I have a problem. I bought a Lenovo G575 and ubuntu does not work well on it. If I turn on the wireless it crush the whole OS and AMD driver just suck on the 6310. I can not deiced if I should return can get some thing different or wait and use the crappy OS till they catch up​
[12:35] <soreau> todd_: You will have to try it and find out for yourself
[12:36] <soreau> I dont use webcams
[12:36] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:36] <robinbowes> upgrading just one package? "apt-get upgrade xtrabackup" seems to want to upgrade everything.
[12:36] <todd_> soreau: ok so you are giving me advice about something you really do not know about,... thanks :-(
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: which release have you installed? lsb_release -sc    will tell you
[12:36] <soreau> jcook_5xdata: First thing, probably should remove the AMD driver and use the default open radeon one
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> robinbowes: they are deps
[12:37] <ujjain> Can somebody help me find out why my Ubuntu does not shut down? http://images.codepad.eu/vi-23MciW.jpg
[12:37] <robinbowes> ActionParsnip: nah, they're not!
[12:37] <soreau> todd_: The point is that you need to try things and figure it out. My do a web search with google about exactly what you want
[12:37] <todd_> DerHiks, joel135: Sorry where were we?
[12:37] <jcook_5xdata> ActionParsnip,  11.10
[12:37] <ubuntufriend> how do i recalibrate my output buffer matrix?
[12:38] <todd_> soreau: Obviously, and I did that, I would not waste your time on something I did not try and research first
[12:38] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: got a real question ?
[12:38] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: if not join #startrek
[12:38] <jcook_5xdata> soreau, will that drive a second monitor
[12:38] <soreau> todd_: You arent the first one to use a webcam on linux
[12:38] <soreau> s/My/Maybe
[12:38] <soreau> jcook_5xdata: Second, what wifi chip is it?
[12:39] <ubuntufriend> how do i kill a module
[12:39] <ubuntufriend> it keeps telling me it's in use
[12:39] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: what sort of module
[12:39] <ubuntufriend> but i hink its stuck
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: then ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:39] <ubuntufriend> ndiswrapper
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> you will be assimilated
[12:39] <ubuntufriend> for my wireless
[12:39] <raven_> after distri-upgrade to 11.04 no graphical desktop any more - stops at "starting timidity++ alsa emulation" on tty7 - any solution?
[12:39] <FloodBot1> ubuntufriend: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:39] <todd_> soreau: obviously, and I dont appreciate being talked down to
[12:39] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: you need to rmmod it,
[12:39] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: or reboot
[12:39] <iridium> ubuntufriend, you only need an optronic relay laser
[12:39] <joel135> todd_: to know when the picture was taken: http://www.econowics.com/linux/258/show-image-properties-meta-data-from-cli-linux/
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: I suggest you use natty
[12:39] <robinbowes> todd_: I suggest you get a thicker skin
[12:39] <jcook_5xdata> soreau, Atheros AR285
[12:39] <ikonia> iridium: please don't help him troll
[12:40] <ubuntufriend> dont wanna reboot and it told me i have to set some variable when i compiled my kernel
[12:40] <ubuntufriend> but i already installed
[12:40] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: then you will need to reboot if you need to recompile your kernel
[12:40] <soreau> jcook_5xdata: Yes it will drive multiple monitors and atheros should work great..
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: #ubuntu+1 is support for Oneiric until it is released, the latest release supported here is Natty
[12:40] <joel135> todd_: use grep etc on that output. look for line lines   Exif:DateTime*
[12:40] <soreau> jcook_5xdata: at least from my experiences, atheros wifi works well with the ath*k drivers
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> ubuntufriend: with ksplice, there's no need to reboot after a kernel upgrade
[12:40] <ubuntufriend> no i don't wanan recompile my kernel
[12:41] <ubuntufriend> wait
[12:41] <ubuntufriend> can i do that
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> ubuntufriend: sure#
[12:41] <todd_> joel135: ok but what the heck should I use for yourpicture.jpg???
[12:41] <soreau> jcook_5xdata: If you are on 11.10, use #ubuntu+1 please
[12:41] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: is that enabled in ubuntu....is it setup
[12:41] <ubuntufriend> how do i recompile my kernel and how do i set its settings
[12:41] <cjs> What's a good program to automatically (at night or whatever) download new podcasts for me from a bunch of RSS feeds?
[12:41] <ubuntufriend> i thought compiling kernel is something you do once when you install the OS
[12:41] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: please show me the document you are following
[12:41] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: it is, please show me the document you are following
[12:41] <jcook_5xdata> ActionParsnip, soreau, ok
[12:41] <joel135> todd_: the picture that contains the information that you want
[12:41] <todd_> joel135: If i remember correctly cheese saves anywhere on the filesystem
[12:41] <cjs> Ideally something that's already available as a package for 11.04.
[12:42] <robinbowes> ActionParsnip: it seems that "apt-get install xtrabackup" did the trick
[12:42] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: is ksplice installed/configured/usable in Ubuntu ?
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> ikonia: ksplice is now property of Oracle, so it's a serious thing
[12:42] <jpmh> cjs: i like gpodder
[12:42] <ubuntufriend> im not following adocument you said i need to reboot to recompile my kernel
[12:42] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: that's not what I asked
[12:42] <todd_> joel135: so I am a bit confused on your post???
[12:42] <ubuntufriend> so the document is you ikonia
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> lemme check
[12:42] <soreau> ubuntufriend: Why do you want to roll your own kernel?
[12:42] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: please show me the document you are following that tells me you need to recompile your kernel
[12:42] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: "no, it's not"
[12:42] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: hence why I'm wondering why you are blindly recommending it
[12:43] <cjs> jpmh: Thanks.
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> ikonia: what are you saying?
[12:43] <joel135> todd_: Cheese stores your pictures in a folder called Webcam inside the XDG-Directory set for Pictures (in most distributions its ~/Pictures/Webcam)
[12:43] <ubuntufriend> there exists not a document that tells you or me to recompile my kernel. the only interaction i have had pertaining to the recompiling of kernel comes from a user in this very channel by the name of : ikonia
[12:43] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: you've just suggested he use a technology that's not available currently in the distro he's using and that isn't in production use by any real distros at this time
[12:44] <todd_> joel135: really?? let me check that? I did not see that in the man pages, or the info pages
[12:44] <ubuntufriend> who is this ikonia guy why is he booting me
[12:44] <ubuntufriend> what an asshole
[12:44] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: I did not tell you to recompile your kernel
[12:44] <ubuntufriend> you did
[12:44] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: I said you have to reboot if you need to compile your kernel
[12:44] <soreau> ikonia: Kernel kompiling is hard on ubuntu.. why would you suggest that ;)
[12:44] <ubuntufriend> you said i would need to reboot
[12:44] <ubuntufriend> to recompile my kernel
[12:44] <larsduesing> Hmm.. ok.. there is a new source-package for oneiric since yesterday, but no new bin-packages. *wait or compile by myself?
[12:45] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: you will need to reboot to recompile your kernel
[12:45] <ubuntufriend> yeah
[12:45] <todd_> joel135: cool! thanks man, you are a lifesaver!
[12:45] <ubuntufriend> there you go
[12:45] <ubuntufriend> you said it again
[12:45] <joel135> todd_: it's in their faq: http://library.gnome.org/users/cheese/stable/faq.html.en
[12:45] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: so I'll ask you one more time, where is the document that said you NEED to compile your kernel
[12:45] <ubuntufriend> and i would say one more time
[12:45] <ubuntufriend> there is no such document
[12:45] <joel135> todd_: np
[12:45] <ubuntufriend> and i do not want to recompile my kernel
[12:45] <ikonia> ubuntufriend: who told you to recompile your kernel
[12:45] <ubuntufriend> you
[12:45] <todd_> joel135: the man page should link there, IMHO
[12:47] <raven_> after distri-upgrade to 11.04 no graphical desktop any more - stops at "starting timidity++ alsa emulation" on tty7 - any solution?
[12:48] <soreau> raven_: Does an 11.04 live session work?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> raven_: uninstall timidity maybe.
[12:48] <Chotaz> Anyone that can help me with uShare?
[12:48] <raven_> soreau, yes
[12:49] <soreau> raven_: Maybe something went wrong with the upgrade. Do you see anything of interest in dmesg output? or /var/log/syslog? or does it hard lock?
[12:49] <MeirD> I just created a new user. How can I add permission to this user to be able to change (write) files on a specific directory?
[12:50] <Stanley00> MeirD: chown that dir to that user, or chmod o+w for that dir, I recommend the first one ;)
[12:51] <MeirD> thnx
[12:51] <raven_> soreau, dmesg shows several "ext4-fs sda1: re-mounted Opts: ...."
[12:51] <Mikey^> fireprint: hey did it work?
[12:52] <usr13> MeirD: Best solution depends on what and where the directory is.
[12:53] <Chotaz> I'm trying to create a Media Server to stream music and video to my xbox360 with uShare, I created a folder caleld XBOX360 inside my user folder and shared it through the media server. Everything works fine, the xbox detected such folder but only doesnt display the files(*.mp3) inside of it.
[12:53] <MeirD> ok thnx!
[12:54] <soreau> Chotaz: Possibly a configuration/software problem on the xbox side?
[12:55] <raven_> soreau, dmesg shows several "ext4-fs sda1: re-mounted Opts: ...."
[12:56] <soreau> raven_: that may or may not be an issue
[12:56] <soreau> raven_: Particularly, you would want to find an error message..
[12:56] <soreau> raven_: Does the machine hard lock or X just wont start?
[12:56] <raven_> soreau, what do you mean by hard-lock?
[12:57] <alex-> How can I mount a network share in ubuntu server?
[12:57] <soreau> raven_: I mean capslock/scrolllock/numlock doesnt toggle leds on the keyboard and you cant switch ttys
[12:57] <Jackneill> http://9gag.com/gag/281287
[12:57] <usr13> !nfs | alex-
[12:58] <raven_> soreau, you mean kernel panic? no all works fine but the graphical environment
[12:58] <bazhang> Jackneill, wrong channel for that
[12:58] <soreau> ! ot | Jackneill
[12:58] <usr13> alex-: Usually, we'll create a fstab entry for it, (so that it is perminately mounted.
[12:58] <alex-> I dont want permanent mount
[12:59] <lizz> hello
[12:59] <Jackneill> sorry
[12:59] <Jackneill> i didnt know for amsg
[12:59] <Jackneill> xchat write all networks
[12:59] <Teh_Lemon> !info kate
[12:59] <Jackneill> i wanna that only 1 network :/
[12:59] <lizz> i don't remember a password for freenode
[12:59] <FloodBot1> Jackneill: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:59] <lizz> please help me
[12:59] <ikonia> lizz: talk to the guys in #freenode
[13:00] <lizz> ok thanks
[13:01] <Chotaz> soreau: i searched everywhere, there nothing wrong with both sides,
[13:01] <raven_> soreau, i also have no boot image like on shutdown - its only text
[13:02] <soreau> raven_: Ok.. does X even try to start?
[13:02] <lax1234> hi
[13:02] <lax1234> someone there?
[13:02] <sampiale> hello
[13:02] <usr13> alex-: Basically yuo create a mount point for it and do something similar to:  mount -t nfs 192.168.1.8:/home/jack/videos  /home/alex/videos
[13:02] <raven_> soreau, i try to find out
[13:03] <soreau> lax1234: hi
[13:03] <soreau> raven_: Does it work if you try sudo service gdm restart ?
[13:03] <sampiale> new here
[13:03] <alex-> ah
[13:03] <soreau> hi sampiale
[13:03] <raven_> soreau, "gdm start/running, process 2199"
[13:04] <sampiale> learning so will sit quietly and watch
[13:04] <soreau> raven_: But it doesnt go to a login screen on tty7?
[13:04] <raven_> soreau, right
[13:04] <thauriswulfa> HELP: my cdma modem just not working, its showing disabled ,I tried enabling mobile broadband and nothing is happening please help
[13:04] <hippydadoo> how do i remove a module when rmmod says the module is in use?
[13:04] <raven_> soreau, and a ctrl-alt-print-k prints "sysrq : SAK" without effect
[13:04] <soreau> raven_: huh.
[13:05] <Gentoo64> hippydadoo, rmmod -f
[13:05] <usr13> hippydadoo: What is it for?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> raven_: under keyboard settings you can re-enable CTRL+ALT+BackSpace
[13:06] <soreau> hippydadoo: You either unload the module that is using it or you reboot. Some cant be removed, especially drm or graphics modules
[13:06] <soreau> raven_: Man, sounds like your upgrade went wrong somewhere.. what kernel is reported by uname -r?
[13:06] <raven_> soreau, 2.6.38-11-generic
[13:06] <soreau> ActionParsnip: Obviously you havent been paying attention to his issue ;)
[13:06] <Gentoo64> hippydadoo, then forced module unloading is probably disabled in kernel (as it should be)
[13:06] <soreau> raven_: Well Im not sure.. does /var/log/Xorg.0.log show anything of interest?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> soreau: half
[13:07] <thauriswulfa> HELP: my cdma modem just not working, its showing disabled ,I tried enabling mobile broadband and nothing is happening please help
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> thauriswulfa: if you run:  lsusb; lsb_release -a    can you pastebin the output please...
[13:07] <soreau> ActionParsnip: try 1/16th ;)
[13:07] <raven_> soreau, oh - no drivers available, no screens found, fatal server error ..........
[13:08] <soreau> raven_: Ah ok, that may be a start.. what is the output of lspci|grep VGA?
[13:08] <usr13> ActionParsnip: I think you need to move that ; over a space
[13:09] <raven_> soreau, vga compatible nvidia c51 gforce go 6150 reva2
[13:09] <soreau> raven_: Does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist?
[13:10] <raven_> soreau, yes
[13:10] <soreau> raven_: Try removing it and rebooting
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> usr13: it'll still work ;)
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> usr13: try it
[13:11] <alex-> Why isn't python working on ubuntu?
[13:11] <thauriswulfa> ActionParsnip:http://pastebin.com/ngMP6Swk
[13:11] <soreau> alex-: What makes you think it isnt working?
[13:11] <alex-> I get output of the script on my website
[13:11] <sampiale> hs
[13:11] <alex-> "#!/usr/bin/python """A python script web-"
[13:11] <alex-> that's on my website
[13:11] <alex-> shouldn't be there

[13:13] <alex-> soreau: ^
[13:13] <soreau> alex-: Im pretty sure you arent giving enough context for anyone to understand why you think python isnt working
[13:14] <soreau> raven_: Awesome :)
[13:14] <thauriswulfa> ActionParsnip: But this modem already works and I am using since two years and this problem just occured today
[13:14] <soreau> raven_: Basically you just need to reinstall the nvidia driver now
[13:14] <hippydadoo> derp
[13:14] <raven_> soreau, ok i'll do
[13:14] <thauriswulfa> ActionParsnip: It just showing "not enabled" today
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> thauriswulfa: if you reboot is it the same?
[13:15] <alex-> It outputs the script on my website instead of running it soreau
[13:15] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Ok, well, maybe it will now but I've seen systems where it didn't.
[13:15] <thauriswulfa> ActionParsnip: yep
[13:15] <soreau> alex-: The first word in that sentence needs explaining
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> thauriswulfa: hmm, does it randomly drop off?
[13:15] <farhad2161> in ubuntu server i drop some ips in iptable but after a few minute,iptable got empty!what is the problem?
[13:15] <alex-> soreau: why?
[13:15] <thauriswulfa> ActionParsnip: no
[13:15] <tommyangelo> Hi, I'm tying to install Ubuntu server over the network (no cd and usb boot doesn't work)
[13:16] <soreau> alex-: See my previous comment before last
[13:16] <tommyangelo> but I can't seem to get the dhcpd configuration right
[13:16] <thauriswulfa> ActionParsnip: it just went off permanently and I tried creating new connection but it didn't work
[13:16] <nacional> hello
[13:16] <oldschool> hi am useing 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) anyone know how to fix this
[13:16] <alex-> soreau: what context do I have to give more?
[13:16] <nacional>  installed ubuntu live CD with windows like it says on their website, and now i want to connect to windows again and the username\password screen stays black and i cant see the HomeScreen of windows 7
[13:17] <soreau> alex-: You are starting a sentence with a pronoun that has no prior reference
[13:17] <alex-> I dont understand you
[13:17] <soreau> Likewise
[13:17] <soreau> thank you and good morning :P
[13:17] <ikonia> alex-: what's the issue ?
[13:18] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Just tried lspci;uname   and it works.  That just goes to show  you, you learn something every day!  (I stand corrected)
[13:18] <alex-> ikonia: I have a python script on my website, but it just outputs the script on my website instead of running it
[13:18] <ikonia> alex-: you need apache setup to "execute" python, otherwise it just treats it as a text file and displays it
[13:19] <usr13> ActionParsnip: But I venture to say "things have changed".
[13:19] <alex-> how can i setup apache to do that?
[13:19] <Caternam> Hi
[13:19] <ikonia> alex-: you'll have to check the apache http documentation on using mod_python (I think it's called) or using python as a cgi script
[13:20] <soreau> alex-: Try #httpd
[13:20] <soreau> Be careful, it can be pretty strict in there though
[13:20] <Caternam> i have a vga problem: on live-cd 10.10 i had low res, but it worked fine (GeForce gtx460) - on 11.04 live-cd the resolution goes up, but the screen goes blank every few secs as if the graphiccard resets. So I just wanted to ask where I can read about editing the disc-image, just need to know what I have to edit.
[13:21] <alex-> soreau: what do you mean?
[13:21] <soreau> Caternam: Most likely a bug in the nvidia driver. Try different settings in nvidia-settings or a different version of the driver
[13:21] <soreau> Caternam: Also, try to see if disabling/enabling compiz helps
[13:21] <Caternam> it blanks, goes black, then comes back
[13:21] <soreau> alex-: Quit trolling me please
[13:22] <alex-> soreau: i'm not trolling, i just dont understand what you mean with 'strict'
[13:22] <nacional> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer I installed this on my computer, and now i want to go to my win7 version , and i cant pass through Username\Login screen, because it goes black and i can see nothing
[13:22] <soreau> alex-: Get a dictionary. Its an english word
[13:22] <soreau> this is #ubuntu not #grammar
[13:22] <ikonia> alex-: he means it has strict rules on content, check the /topic when you join
[13:22] <alex-> Ah
[13:22] <mason> disconnect
[13:22] <mason> ugh
[13:23] <soreau> And considering the questions you are asking, you probably wont last a few minutes in there
[13:23] <soreau> if that one guy is around :P
[13:23] <gulzar> how to make compiz work on LXDE(lubuntu) ? Only Knoppix seems to be doing it... Any idea?
[13:23] <soreau> gulzar: compiz --replace
[13:23] <mlncn> Lenovo T420, newly installed Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity enabled.  Freezes seemingly at random, every couple of days.  Firefox is usually at the fore and Skype usually running, if i'm looking for scapegoats.  No ctrl-alt-fn-sysreq or any other key combination, including random jamming of keys, breaks me into terminal or anywhere else i can actually do anything.  Recommendations?
[13:23] <xangua> gulzar: not much sense in using a 'light desktop' with compiz
[13:24] <mlncn> Here is what i've researched so far: http://data.agaric.com/ubuntu-1104-unity-freezing-new-lenovo-thinkpad-420
[13:24] <soreau> xangua: compiz is only as heavy as the plugins you enable
[13:24] <soreau> xangua: It makes perfect sense
[13:24] <xangua> gulzar: you would need minimun besides have compiz installed, install metacity, emerald or kwin
 yes but still.. How to do it? That's the challenge...
[13:24] <mlncn> walking me  through / pointing me to docs for getting the log files after a complete system freeze would help a great deal
[13:24] <xangua> gulzar: whatever you choose to use in compiz and then run: compiz --replace
[13:24] <soreau> xangua: That is simply not true. You do not need kwin nor emerald nor metacity to run compiz
[13:25] <xangua> not a big challenge
[13:25] <Caternam> regarding my screen blanking problem, is there anything else I should look on apart from Compiz?
[13:25] <soreau> xangua: You got that one right, compiz --replace (but I already told him that)
 No dear. Compix in lxde crashed badly. No solution from google. Only knoppix is wotking so far.
[13:25] <xangua> soreau: well you would have compiz withount a windows decorator ;)
[13:25] <soreau> xangua: Wrong again. There is gtk-window-decorator
[13:26] <soreau> included in compiz-gnome package
[13:26] <xangua> soreau: that is metacity...
[13:26] <soreau> xangua: wrong.
[13:26] <ujjain> Doesn't GNOME-2 have buttons like changing sound etc?
[13:26] <soreau> xangua: metacity is the default window manager of gnome
[13:26] <meditator> hello.. can anyone please help me out?  i'm having a little trouble with vsftp - I have set it up alright - have created a separate user account for scans to go to the ftp server directly via a network scanner (network scanner logs on the ftp server with username and password). however, the file is created with permission 0600. So no one else can read it. Is there some way of specifying the default file permission to 0660 ?really a

[13:26] <nacional> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer I installed this on my computer, and now i want to go to my win7 version , and i cant pass through Username\Login screen, because it goes black and i can see nothing
[13:26] <Sidewinder1> Caternam, I'm guessing that 10.10 uses a different driver than 11.04?
[13:26] <soreau> xangua: gtk-window-decorator is a decorator for compiz that is capable of using metacity themes
[13:27] <ujjain> How do I get sound etc back at the right top of my GNOME?
[13:27] <soreau> ujjain: Try adding indicator applet..
[13:27] <xangua> soreau: sounds like it has been a long time since i used compiz on another desktop neither gnome or kde ;)
[13:27] <Caternam> Sidewinder1: yeah, I can guess that too, but would like to keep the high res without the frequent screen blanks - so am trying to find a workaround
[13:28] <RobinJ> is there ONE decent video editor for linux/ubuntu? i just need to cover/blur a spot on a video
[13:28] <RobinJ> havent found a single program that can do it
[13:28] <xangua> RobinJ: openshot, cinelerra
[13:28] <xangua> pitivi comes by default in ubuntu
[13:28] <RobinJ> openshot? how? openshot cant do a thing
[13:28] <RobinJ> pitivi can do even less
[13:28] <RobinJ> cinelerra fails to install
[13:29] <RobinJ> kdenlive can only cover/blur the WHOLE video in stead of only one spot
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> xangua: not from oneiric onwards
[13:29] <soreau> xangua: probably best to not try and offer support if you are not sure about what you are saying
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/

[13:29] <ActionParsnip> !applet
[13:29] <Caternam> thx for the help
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> !screenlets
[13:30] <soreau> ujjain: Its either indicator applet or notification area
[13:30] <soreau> Dakkus: So you connect through hard wire and want to share wirelessly?
[13:31] <Dakkus> I'm connecting through an UMTS modem, but otherwise yes.
[13:31] <Dakkus> So, my internet connection's on ppp0.
[13:31] <Sidewinder1> Caternam, Editing the disk image would be quite a challenge. Why not install the version that works best for you; then you can add/change video drivers, to your hearts content.
[13:31] <soreau> Dakkus: On recent versions of ubuntu, simply click on the network/wifi icon in the panel and select create new wireless network
[13:31] <Dakkus> That's how I used to do it in the past.
[13:31] <soreau> Dakkus: Enter the information and it will create an ad-hoc connection and share it
[13:32] <Dakkus> But on this installation that option doesn't exist.
[13:32] <D_Russ> hello all
[13:32] <soreau> Dakkus: Which version of ubuntu?
[13:32] <Dakkus> This is a 11.04 installed by installing 10.10 and upgrading it right away.
[13:32] <D_Russ> i think i just broke compiz. i made a change to a setting and now i cant get it to open
[13:32] <Dakkus> (I didn't have any empty CDs around, so this was the least unfeasible way)
[13:32] <soreau> Dakkus: Well you could do it manually with hostapd..
[13:32] <Dakkus> soreau: Ok, how?
[13:33] <ge2x> Hey people! How do I get my NTFS drives to automount on my 11.04? :)
[13:33] <soreau> Dakkus: Very carefully ;)
[13:33] <Dakkus> Uh-oh :)
[13:33] <soreau> Dakkus: You will have to do a lot of reading and setup dhcp etc etc
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: run:   gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz; compiz --replace
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> ge2x: ntfs partitons ;)
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> ge2x: how did you install Ubuntu?
[13:33] <D_Russ> thanks ActionParsnip
[13:34] <LTLTLTLTLTLT> If I install 11.04 over my old root partition, but I've got a seperate /home/ directory will that be fine? Will I be able to access the files from my old username?
[13:34] <soreau> Dakkus: Might even be easier to try and install Natty from a live session
[13:34] <soreau> Dakkus: Does wifi work otherwise?
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> LTLTLTLTLTLT: mark the current system partition for formating and to be used for / and then set the /home partition as /home but to NOT be formatted
[13:35] <ge2x> ActionParsnip: I installed Ubuntu into my IDE drive and my NTFS patitions are on a SATA drive. They mount ok, but I need them to mount on startup. Should I edit fstab or is there a "pretier" way?
[13:35] <Dakkus> soreau: Haha, seems you found my coffee cup holder...
[13:35] <Dakkus> soreau: I just switched on the WIFI on this machine, let's see if anything happens ;)
[13:35] <LTLTLTLTLTLT> ActionParsnip: thanks will do that
[13:35] <soreau> Dakkus: nice
[13:35] <Dakkus> Ok, the menu item's there and I am officially an idiot.
[13:36] <soreau> Dakkus: Congrats, you are welcome. Here is your sign ;-)
[13:36] <Dakkus> Thanks for enabling me to notice this without fighting with howtows for half a day :)
[13:36]  * Dakkus bows and thanks
[13:36] <ujjain> sureau: I am new to Ubuntu, where can I edit applets/notifications area on GNOME?
[13:37] <soreau> ujjain: When you right click on (a blank area in) the panel, you should see an option that says Add to Panel..
[13:37] <soreau> ujjain: Then it should open a window with a list
[13:37] <ujjain> thanks so much
[13:37] <ge2x> I installed Ubuntu into my IDE drive and my NTFS patitions are on a SATA drive. They mount ok, but I need them to mount on startup. Should I edit fstab or is there a "pretier" way?
[13:37] <soreau> no problem
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> ge2x: then you will need an entry in /etc/fstab to mount them
[13:38] <soreau> 3 successes and the only losses werent since they were trolls

[13:39] <meditator> hello.. can anyone please help me out?  i'm having a little trouble with vsftp - I have set it up alright - have created a separate user account for scans to go to the ftp server directly via a network scanner (network scanner logs on the ftp server with username and password). however, the file is created with permission 0600. So no one else can read it. Is there some way of specifying the default file permission to 0660 ? really
[13:39] <meditator> appreciate your help
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: have you updated it before you use it?

[13:53] <dinu> some setings got changed in compiz
[13:53] <dinu> and now i can move windows
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> pythonsnake: yes, so asking what the default DE in "100.10" is a none-sensuical question
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> 11.10
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> 100.10, tahts waaay down the line
[13:54] <dinu> compiz setings hve prblm

[13:55] <Teh_Lemon> what is teh actual difference from apt-get and aptitude?
[13:55] <Teh_Lemon> or its teh same just ppl love to call it aptitude
[13:56] <auronandace> !aptitude | Teh_Lemon
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Lemon: its a different app, essentially it achieves the same end
[13:57] <Teh_Lemon> same commands, same effect. ill stick to apt-get
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> Teh_Lemon: there are differences, if you are comfortable with apt-get then use it
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> I use apt-fast :)
[13:57] <usr13> Teh_Lemon: Yes, basically same, you relly don't need both.  Many would aruge that point but ... no big deal.
[13:57] <koud> where can I find developer channel?
[13:58] <koud> and what team is responsible for inputmethods?
[13:58] <Teh_Lemon> whats apt-fast
[13:58] <Teh_Lemon> xD
[13:58] <Teh_Lemon> well... after all
[13:58] <usr13> !dev koud
[13:58] <usr13> !dev | koud
[13:59] <Teh_Lemon> they all interact with same repositories, its not a hassle :D
[13:59] <Basomis> Where can I find keyboard shortcuts in 11.10?
[13:59] <auronandace> !11.10 | Basomis
[14:00] <Teh_Lemon> 11.10 is unity too? :(
[14:00] <D_Russ> Thanks ActionParsnip but i am still getting errors and still not able to open compiz settings
[14:00] <D_Russ> 11.04
[14:01] <fireprint> I thought 11.4 had issues with compiz.. working awesome on my 10.4 but on my server it got buggy.
[14:01] <fireprint> server being natty
[14:01] <D_Russ> i made a change
[14:02] <D_Russ> and it started freaking out
[14:02] <D_Russ> now i cant open it
[14:02] <D_Russ> it was working ok before the change i made
[14:02] <auronandace> fireprint: you run compiz on a server?
[14:03] <fireprint> not the server edt. just a regulare 11.4 and wanted to check compiz on it.. however its buggy and weird.
[14:03] <fireprint> on my 10.4 though it works flawlessly.
[14:03] <usr13> Basomis: System Settings -> Hardware -> Keyboard Settings -> ???  someplace in there I think.
[14:04] <Basomis> can't find hardware in system settings
[14:04] <fireprint> the reason my "server" is on regulare natty is because, well.. its stored away with only wifi connection.. and setting up wpa on wireless is a pain to me. Never got it to work from other than gui... still working on it though, made the transition from windows to *nix three days ago hehe
[14:05] <D_Russ> can i uninstall compiz without it freaking out?
[14:05] <D_Russ> then reinstall
[14:05] <D_Russ> hopefully to fix the problem?
[14:06] <fireprint> guess you can try desktop effects?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: the config will still be the same, you will need to delete the compiz config folders
[14:06] <SadlyMistaken> hello Everybody, i would love to know if... "Wireless Broadcom Driver to Linux" will be incorporated into Ubuntu Ocelot
[14:06] <SadlyMistaken> I
[14:06] <SadlyMistaken> I would love my wireless will be detected...
[14:06] <KadirB> xxx
[14:06] <KadirB> :D
[14:06] <Basomis> usr13, found it, thanks
[14:07] <KadirB> :)
[14:07] <usr13> Basomis: I was wrong....
[14:07] <oCean> SadlyMistaken: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[14:07] <D_Russ> where can i find that folder? and if i uninstall compiz will it total screw things up or just go back to defaults
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> SadlyMistaken: its in there, the firmware is proprietary so cannot be. There are tools to install which will cut the firmware out and allow you to use it
[14:07] <usr13> Basomis: System Settings -> Hardware -> Keyboard Shortcuts
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> SadlyMistaken: those tools have been in ubuntu for a long time
[14:08] <D_Russ> ActionParsnip, is it .compiz that i need to delete?
[14:08] <fireprint> D_Russ, are you in gui or in terminal?
[14:08] <D_Russ> i have terminal open
[14:08] <mia158> I've ordered additinal RAM for my Dell Latitude D630. I currently have 2GB but I am upgrading to 8GB. I'm running ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. Should I do anything to the OS after adding the RAM?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: makes sense, look in ~/.config too  I suggest you move the folder rather than deleting
[14:08] <fireprint> ah ok. thought perhaps you got into the gui. hmm not sure, i can try and locate a howto for you.
[14:08] <SadlyMistaken> oCean and ActionParsnip. Ok. Thanks a lot.
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> mia158: install the PAE kernel
[14:09] <Name141> ActionParsnip: Will PAE just use 3.25 GBs with a 1GB video card like in XP32 ?
[14:09] <D_Russ> ohh boy i have a bad feeling about this. lol
[14:09] <mia158> ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll research that now.
[14:10] <Linux4UnMe> howdy ubuntu community
[14:10] <D_Russ> im going to give it a try now wish me luck if i dont come back its a good thing. lol
[14:10] <usr13> ActionParsnip: At what point is the PAE kernel useful?
[14:11] <fireprint> D_Russ,  hope to not be seeing you soon then, ;)
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> Name141: if that's how the BIOS is set, then yes. PAE allows 32bit OS to access up to 64Gb RAM but only allows 3Gb RAM per process
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> usr13: 8Gb ram in Ubuntu 32bit
[14:11] <Name141> ActionParsnip: Can you comment on if that's also how XP works ?
[14:12] <compdoc> you wont find many 32bit motherboards that support 64Gb of ram
[14:12] <Name141> or all PAE enabled OS' ?
[14:12] <usr13> ActionParsnip: So anything less than 8G, it is not needed.  Right?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> Name141: not used XP in any huge way in years, so unsure. the settings will be pulled from the BIOS
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> usr13: anything more than 4Gb and you are looking at PAE, idealy use 64bit
[14:13] <slipttees> hi
[14:13] <usr13> ActionParsnip: So >4G, not useful.  Ok.
[14:13] <slipttees> ubuntu support afp file shared protocol?
[14:13] <mia158> ActionParsnip: Sounds like I'd be better off installing 64bit OS.
[14:13] <Name141> ActionParsnip: So since I have 4GBs and it's using 3.25 , I might check somewhere in the BIOS ?
[14:14] <Linux4UnMe> wow. been a while since i been here... pretty damn active community
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: http://www.cognitivecombine.com/2009/12/diy-ubuntu-nas-with-afp-smb-dlna-and-itunes/
[14:14] <silver_star_iri> how knows iptable !
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Name141: 3.25Gb is max for 32bit without PAE
[14:15] <Linux4UnMe> me
[14:15] <Linux4UnMe> ofcoarse
[14:15] <Linux4UnMe> who else
[14:15] <usr13> silver_star_iri: Just ask
[14:15] <silver_star_iri> I drop 3 ips in iptables by iptable command , but after a few minutes ip tables get empty (ips disapears!) , why ?
[14:15] <Name141> ActionParsnip: I'll move to windows since this isabout XP
[14:17] <usr13> silver_star_iri: We would have to see the exact rule you entered.
[14:17] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: thx
[14:17] <mia158> ActionParsnip: What flags determine 64 bit capabality in /proc/cpuinfo? I want to make sure I can run 64 bit OS on Dell Latitude D630.
[14:17] <usr13> silver_star_iri: See my pm
[14:18] <raven_> any one knows about the presonus faderport?
[14:20] <aksar> Hi, i have downloaded ubuntu iso. I want to use usb-creator. But when I click on it and select the iso, nothing happens
[14:21] <usr13> mia158: There is a fuzzy line there.  Some processors will actually run a 64bit kernel but won't do all it can do with a truely dual core processor. Basically what  you are looking for is a truely dual core processor, (It shows up in /proc/cpuinfo as two processors).
[14:24] <aksar> Hi, i have downloaded ubuntu iso. I want to use usb-creator. But when I click on it and select the iso, nothing happens. By nothing happens I mean that no iso is selected in the program. Is there a fault in the program. I am using win XP SP 2
[14:24] <dean> Hi all I am currently using a external dvd drive and I am trying to use asunder but it's not picking up my drive is there a way of typing in the destination for it?
[14:24] <BasicXP> Hello everyone! I need some help with the following. Is it possible to turn off the server via a web interface (HTTP)?
[14:24] <mia158> usr13: thx, i sgould be good then. I have cpu 0 & 1.
[14:24] <BasicXP> aksar: First apply all the updates, including the Service Pack 3
[14:25] <aksar> BasicXP: ah sorry, I have already updated to SP3
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> mia158: appears to be a http://ark.intel.com/products/29760/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7300-(4M-Cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB)
[14:25] <BasicXP> I need that to quickly turn it off without a need of a computer with an SSH client
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> mia158: Instruction Set 64bit
[14:25] <diskin> hi all, if I have an ubuntu, and want to install LXDE, I will get some duplicates in menu in any case?
[14:26] <BasicXP> diskin: for that you might want to use Lubuntu instead
[14:26] <BasicXP> it has LXDE preinstalled
[14:26] <destinyhack> Hello guys. :D
[14:27] <robotti^> hello
[14:27] <aksar> The usb crator doesn't show the iso image if I select "Disk Image" the iso image is not shown in the file list
[14:27] <diskin> BasicXP, yes, but ubuntu i already installed, and I want to be able to remove LXDE at some point
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> aksar: try unetbootin
[14:28] <BasicXP> diskin: if you install lxde along gnome, you will have a choice of Gnome and LXDE at system startup
[14:30] <Teh_Lemon> if anyone knows... does trickle limit speed on process only if you run it with it, or works with already oepned processes too
[14:30] <ken> diskin; once installed, it becomes difficult to remove an added desktop. If you just want to try it, better to use virtualbox first.
[14:30] <boxici> Hello i need some help!
[14:30] <Fen-> mental ?
[14:30] <compdoc> financial
[14:31] <boxici> I am new to ubuntu and i installed it on a virtualbox, so my primary OS is win 7
[14:31] <Marne> hi, I have this issue: when I try to open Synaptics, this error occurs... Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read. Any help?
[14:31] <boxici> I installed apache2 and http server on ubuntu and i would like to know how can i access localhost from my primary OS
[14:32] <cromag> boxici: are you dualbooting ?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> boxici: sure, set the network to be bridged and you can access it like another PC on your LAN
[14:32] <boxici> no i have ubuntu on virtualbox
[14:32] <CluelessPerson> The ubuntu 64 desktop installation isn't detecting my windows partition...
[14:32] <CluelessPerson> This concerns me, because I definitely don't want to write over it.
[14:32] <cromag> oh - sorry - ActionParsnip has info :)
[14:32] <usr13> mia158: ... but to tell the truth, even if you have a dual core processor, you really should have a specific need for a 64bit OS before going to the trouble of installing it.  The standard Ubuntu system sure is nice on a dual core processor and you will not see any noticable performance increase in normal desktop use. (In other words, there are only certain instances where you would take full advange of the 64bit OS.)
[14:33] <D_Russ> i swear i am creating more problems for my self. My compiz still wont show :(
[14:33] <BluesKaj> CluelessPerson, ntfs not showing up in nautilus>places?
[14:33] <Tnud> I got a strange problem with my new ubuntu 11.04 installation.. It won't connect to my ethernet and this new interface is confusing me haha. Where do I see if the ethernet card is even installed?
[14:34] <boxici> ActionParsnip, i tried that but ubuntu doesnt connect with bridge
[14:34] <diskin> ken, exactly! I'm asking because I have already tried :). So, no clean solution except virtual box?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> boxici: so you shutdown the vbox and change the network to bridged, then powered it up
[14:34] <Amdpc> boxici : Have you installed Guest Additions ?
[14:34] <CluelessPerson> bluebomber, I'm not sure if it's nautilus but at installation is shows a list of partitions and etc
[14:34] <D_Russ> anyone know how to completely remove compiz or restore it to defaults?
[14:35] <usr13> Tnud: YOu should see a little triangle looking thing at top.  It's just an outline and top is rounded.
[14:35] <CluelessPerson> bluebomber, So I just booted backup into windows and defined the raw partitions to install linux on.
[14:35] <Tnud> Yep
[14:35] <BluesKaj> BBL
[14:35] <Tnud> I see that
[14:35] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: done, work perfect :D
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> boxici: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQq4hGCIYEvvYVqps6Zm-YjOPXcqXfZsNtSEoBKATfgpilocBjoMC7M5ZezyQ
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: np :)
[14:35] <usr13> Tnud: Otherwise, open a terminal and type ifconfig  and hit enter. If you only see section for lo  then yea, your NIC is not in use.
[14:35] <CluelessPerson> I might be back, I'm going to see if this works.
[14:35] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: but, ubuntu have this service default
[14:35] <slipttees> =]
[14:36] <Tnud> ipconfig
[14:36] <usr13> Tnud: If you click on that little image, you should see your network settings.
[14:36] <Tnud> sorry, wrong keyboard.. checking now
[14:36] <boxici> ActionParsnip,  i'm not sure, but i will give it another try... also if you can tell me after i set it to bridge do i have to setup the IP's in ubuntu?
[14:36] <slipttees> ubuntu default afp file share protocol
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> boxici: i'd ask in #vbox too
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: why, why not use samba or sshfs, its standardized
[14:37] <Tnud> No, I have an eth0. I assume that is a working ethernet hardware
[14:37] <slipttees> samba sucks =]
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> boxici: http://r3dux.org/2009/09/how-to-make-virtualbox-use-your-routers-dhcp-to-get-an-ip-address-in-linux/
[14:37] <D_Russ> slipttees: i agree
[14:37] <Amdpc> boxici : Yes..u need a IP
[14:37] <slipttees> afp work nice, never problem here
[14:37] <D_Russ> lost 2 days of my life trying to get it to network an ntfs hdd
[14:38] <Tnud> Might be my routher then.. hmmmm
[14:39] <boxici> Ok, thank you very much
[14:39] <usr13> Tnud: Did you tell it to connect to a wired network?
[14:39] <usr13> Tnud: You can try (at terminal):  sudo dhclient eth0
[14:40] <Tnud> lol
[14:40] <Tnud> that worked
[14:40] <Tnud> DO I have to do that everytime I boot it up?
[14:40] <usr13> Tnud: Yes, you have to tell it to connect, won't just do it on it's on, not the first time anyway.
[14:41] <usr13> Tnud: If you do it via the network-manager, it will "remember"
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: sure but usr13 add it in /etc/rc.local  above the exit 0 line
[14:41] <Tnud> I don't see a wired connection in the manager tho, just the auto echo
[14:41] <D_Russ> you know what i just realized. compiz is open, but i changed a setting somehow (i think) that made the entire window completely transparent.
[14:42] <thedoctar> hey
[14:42] <D_Russ> how do i undo a setting on a completely ransparent windo?
[14:42] <usr13> Tnud: Well, I don't know why the network-manager is not showing the available wired network.  But, you should do updates now.
[14:42] <usr13> Tnud: run update-manager
[14:43] <Tnud> apt-get update
[14:43] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: ?
[14:43] <usr13> Tnud: Yes, and then apt-get upgrade
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: wrong nick, sorry
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> Tnud: sure but usr13 add it in /etc/rc.local  above the exit 0 line
[14:43] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: okay bro… no problem
[14:44] <usr13> Tnud: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get  upgrade
[14:44] <Tnud> oh right, forgot about rc.local
[14:44] <thedoctar> hey does anyone know what type of portscan is the portscan in networktools?
[14:44] <Tnud> Yepyep
[14:44] <Tnud> I've been on my remote server in the terminal for so long I've forgot how to use the gui
[14:44] <Tnud> lol
[14:44] <joel135> D_Russ: you disable visual effects so that you can see what you're doing, change it back, and enable visual effects again
[14:45] <D_Russ> joel135: how do i do that?
[14:45] <bodybody> let's give a try to the new website !!!!
[14:45] <bodybody> http://gradethisbody.com
[14:45] <bodybody> http://gradethisbody.com
[14:45] <bodybody> http://gradethisbody.com
[14:45] <FloodBot1> bodybody: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:45] <thedoctar> what's flooding
[14:45] <D_Russ> im tempted to click the spam lol
[14:46] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Waht are you saying?  He should add a dhclient command to rc.local?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> usr13: sure, it will run just before the login screen and the nick has come up
[14:46] <fireprint> not sure if this falls under the ubuntu help. However in ubuntu, when i ssh from this laptop to my server.. log in and work a bit. it lags up abit once in a while. this does not happen if i am locally on the computer. and im ssh'ing a local ip. Any ideas?
[14:46] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Oh, ok.
[14:47] <CluelessPerson> Alright
[14:47] <CluelessPerson> So I'm in ubuntu now, but via boot disk
[14:47] <usr13> Tnud: Add line:  dhclient eth0   to /etc/rc.local  (above exit 0 )
[14:47] <CluelessPerson> Anyone know why ubuntu install isn't any of the partitions I've already set up?
[14:48] <CluelessPerson> detecting
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: if you run:  sudo parted -l   do you see Ext4 partitions?
[14:48] <D_Russ> how do i turn off visual effects without compiz?
[14:48] <rigved> fireprint: this looks like a problem with your server. run top and check if any process is causing this.
[14:49] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, I haven't made ext4 partitions yet, but sure, I'll look
[14:49] <fireprint> rigved, eventhough this does not happen when i am at the computer?
[14:49] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, in the past, ubuntu would detect windows partitions, allow me to make more, resize, etc
[14:50] <rigved> fireprint: there might be some process that is causing the sudden increase in processing %. if no, then more investigation is required regarding this.
[14:51] <usr13> CluelessPerson: I know... It seems that the [new] partitioning screens are a bit less intuative (to me it is anyway).
[14:51] <fireprint> rigved, ah ok i see. well i have 102 tasks.. cpu at 0.3 at highest..mem is 0.0 up to 1.4.. 101sleeping i dont know what is. Does this say anything to you sir?
[14:51] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  I have a weird message.  "/dev/sda" contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.  However it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.  Perhaps it was corrupted - - possibly by a program that doesn't undersatnd GPT partition tables.  Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table.  Is this a GPT partition table? yes/no?"
[14:51] <ge2x> I installed Ubuntu into my IDE drive and my NTFS patitions are on a SATA drive. They mount ok, but I need them to mount on startup. Should I edit fstab or is there a "pretier" way?
[14:52] <CluelessPerson> usr13, the new one askes me if I want to install in the whole 31GB o my 32 GB SSD
[14:52] <Polah> ge2x: Add their IDs and options to your fstab
[14:52] <CluelessPerson> I have clue what it's asking exactly, thus google! What is a GPT partition table?" :p
[14:53] <Nickel> how do i turn the brightness up? i'm looking through system settings and not finding it :X
[14:53] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, I think it's a yes
[14:53] <CluelessPerson> Nickel, system -> preferences -> monitors?
[14:53] <mnour_> #linuxac
[14:54] <compdoc> ge2x, fstab is the best way
[14:54] <CluelessPerson> Nickel,  herm, I dunno
[14:54] <rigved> fireprint: not really. are you experiencing a lag right now?
[14:54] <fireprint> rigved,  99.3%id.. dunno what that is though,
[14:54] <D_Russ> is there anyway to disable visual effects without compiz?
[14:54] <Nickel> CluelessPerson, i see monitor settings, but no brightness controlls
[14:54] <fireprint> rigved, well it seems to refrsh every 3 sec. having something called messageb come up once in a while.
[14:55] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  Well, I ran your command, and no ext partions are reported, but I hadn't made any yet
[14:55] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  The problem is that it's not reporting the 3 partitions I already made on it.
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: log off an log into Ubuntu Classic session instead
[14:55] <fireprint> rigved, and seeing that this does not happen locally either on this laptop nor on the server.. only from putty. im abit out of ideas hehe
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: not sure then , very weird
[14:55] <CluelessPerson> 20GB NTFS for windows, 5GB storage, 5GB for linux RAW
[14:55] <openvoid> ubuntu classic - no effects
[14:55] <D_Russ> ActionParsnip, thanks
[14:55] <CluelessPerson> This is an SSD
[14:56] <Nickel> does anyone know how to change brightness?
[14:58] <usr13> Nickel: In most rooms, there is a lightswitch on the wall over near the door.
[14:58] <usr13> ... sorry, couldn't resist.
[14:58] <usr13> Nickel: Is this a laptop?
[14:58] <Nickel> usr13, yessir
[14:59] <Nickel> usr13, silly goose.
[14:59] <usr13> Do you have  f-key for it?
[14:59] <fireprint> Nickel, if its a laptop you should have some FN buttons to up the bright..
[14:59] <Nickel> oh yeah? nice.
[14:59] <rigved> fireprint: messageb = Message Bus ( needed for dbus ) <-- got this off the internet. so this does not tell us much either. are you experiencing a lag right now?
[14:59] <fireprint> oh sorry usr13, didnt see you helping out. sorry for buttin in :)
[14:59] <Nickel> usr13, no, not sure what that is
[14:59] <Mokilok> How do I kill a process once I have the process ID?
[14:59] <usr13> What, the switch on the wall?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Mokilok: run:  kill PID
[15:00] <Stanley00> Mokilok: use kill PID
[15:00] <Nickel> usr13, lol, i'm not sure what f-key is
[15:00] <fireprint> rigved, no not really.. its just when i type, say commands in terminal or whatever.. it all of a sudden stops.. and then returns after 6-7sec.
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Mokilok: if it refuses to die and you REALLY want it dead:  kill -9 PID
[15:00] <Nickel> something i need to download in apt
[15:00] <Nickel> ?
[15:00] <usr13> Nickel: Oh, I meant fn  key
[15:00] <Nickel> do i have function keys? o.o yes
[15:00] <Nickel> lol
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Mokilok: if the process is owned by another user, use: sudo kill PID   etc
[15:01] <The_BROS> where to find the list of different radio podcasts for Banshee?
[15:01] <Mokilok> It was my process, VLC had crashed and wouldn't close. I got it now guys, thank you.
[15:01] <Nickel> usr13, they don't seem to do anything though
[15:01] <g0rs> has anybody used evolution with pgp?
[15:02] <usr13> Nickel: Does it change when you plug or un-plug power cord?
[15:02] <fireprint> rigved, the thing is, it gets the packets sent and recieved without issues. Could it be putty?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> Mokilok: np man
[15:02] <Nickel> usr13, i found a menu i'm looking into o.o
[15:02] <Polah> g0rs: Evolution supports the use of GPG keys for signing
[15:02] <rigved> fireprint: you will need to check the internet for any bugs with the version that you are running.
[15:03] <CluelessPerson> ubuntu's gparted isn't detecting my partitions on my SSD, so I can't install ubuntu.
[15:03] <fireprint> rigved, version of putty you mean?
[15:03] <usr13> Nickel: I'm also thinking that the keyboard map may not have been set right during install, (but usually, the defaults get it right most every time).
[15:03] <Nickel> usr13, o.o apparently it's 100% it seems kinda... dull.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: tried updating gparted?
[15:03] <g0rs> Polah: it doesn't have inbuilt pgp security decryption features
[15:03] <Nickel> usr13, it's set to US lol
[15:03] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, I haven't, I just downloaded this iso this morning, and I haven't installed ubuntu
[15:04] <usr13> Nickel: Yea, but if the FN keys don't work, I don't know what's up with that.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: you can update apps in the live environment
[15:04] <fireprint> rigved, just been pinging 8.8.8.8 for a while.. no lag. it just appears when it pleases. Oh well.. ill look into putty issues. Thank you kindly sir. Appreciated.
[15:04] <usr13> Nickel: Can you turn it down with the FN key combination?
[15:04] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, I just did sudo apt-get update
[15:04] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, that correct?
[15:04] <Nickel> usr13, what combination?
[15:05] <usr13> CluelessPerson: If you are into post-install mode;  You should now do  apt-get upgrade
[15:05] <rigved> fireprint: putty@projects.tartarus.org <-- here. you can send an e-mail to this address, giving details about your session and problems. you could include relevant parts of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages.
[15:05] <CluelessPerson> usr13, I'm just on liveusb now
[15:05] <rigved> fireprint: you are welcome.
[15:05] <usr13> Nickel: Well, I don't know, I can't see your keyboard.  Turn the lights on.
[15:06] <usr13> CluelessPerson: Oh, ok
[15:06] <rethus> how can i see which xserver version i have on natty
[15:06] <jack009> y ubuntu 11.04hey guys where can I find vlc install package in my
[15:06] <fireprint> rigved, awesome!.. thanks
[15:06] <CluelessPerson> usr13, alright, upgrading
[15:06] <Nickel> usr13, i'm confused, i don't know what you mean by combination
[15:06] <Nickel> usr13, i suppose i'll google it
[15:06] <usr13> CluelessPerson: There you go.
[15:06] <jack009> hello there
[15:06] <usr13> Nickel: No, you would see it there on the keyboard.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted; sudo apt-get clean
[15:07] <usr13> Nickel: Just a second,I'll look at my wife's laptop
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> rethus: apt-cache policy xorg
[15:07] <Nickel> usr13, you're trolling me? i don't know what you're saying. :P they keyboard layout is... like a normal layout.
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> !info xorg natty
[15:07] <Nickel> anyone know if you can install adb via apt?
[15:07] <Nickel> what the package is called if so?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> !info adb
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Nickel: may need a ppa
[15:07] <rethus> how can i see which xserver version i have on natty
[15:08] <Nickel> !info adb
[15:08] <Nickel> lol. :(
[15:08] <jack009> where is vlc package installed on my 11.04
[15:08] <Nickel> ActionParsnip, what is a ppa, sir?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> rethus: I already told you, why ask a question if you are going to ignore responses?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Nickel
[15:08] <xangua> jack009: sudo apt-get install vlc
[15:08] <rethus> ActionParship: i don't see your answer
[15:08] <Nickel> ActionParsnip, thank you!
[15:08] <rigved> fireprint: also, make a note of the time that you sent a packet from your laptop, the time that it was received on the server and the time that you got a reply back. you can get this info from /var/log/messages, if you have enabled ufw-logging.
[15:09] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, the upgrade is still going
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> jack009: it has libs all over the OS, the main binay is /usr/bin/vlc
[15:09] <rethus> thanks
[15:09] <jack009> thanks ll chjeck it out
[15:09] <usr13> Nickel: On the wife's laptop, it is F6 and F7, (F6 is lower and 7 is raise brightness) and the markings are a little down arrow and a circle with little lines pointing outward all around, (kind of like a drawing of the sun).
[15:09] <su> !ppa
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> Nickel: if someone has built a package for it, you can add the PPA to your system and install from it
[15:09] <fireprint> rigved, ayeh im doing that. however i just thought of another thing.. i can just ssh from terminal instead of using putty. if problem continues its not putty.. doh, right? hehe
[15:09] <farhad2161|2> my iptables got clear after a few minutes,why?!!!
[15:10] <su> !ubuntu
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> jack009: tbh, as a user its not really important where apps are
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> jack009: you can find which binary is run with any command using the 'which' command
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> jack009: e.g.   which gedit     will return: /usr/bin/gedit
[15:11] <usr13> Nickel: F6 is lower and 7 is raise brightness and the markings are a little down arrow  (on the F6 key) and a circle with little lines pointing outward all around, on the F7 key the arrow points up. (The round circle thing is kind of like a drawing of the sun).
[15:11] <rigved> fireprint: yes, do that.
[15:11] <usr13> Nickel: And you hold the FN key while striking the brightness UP and brightness DOWN keys.
[15:12] <jack009> ActionParsnip: yes got ur point
[15:12] <jack009> but where r the packages
[15:12] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, still upgrading >.>
[15:12] <CluelessPerson> I do love the speed of my ssd
[15:12] <CluelessPerson> I do wish it were larger though, 32 is abysmal.
[15:13] <CluelessPerson> 32GB
[15:13] <jack009> vlc package, scattered,
[15:13] <Stanley00> jack009: do you mean .deb file?
[15:13] <jack009> yes
[15:13] <CluelessPerson> I'll deal with it though, this is a netbook, I'll just store things on the server
[15:13] <fireprint> rigved,  no lag what so ever.. pheew!.. Thanks again for helping out man. appreciated
[15:13] <CluelessPerson> I already do, just haven't stored everything
[15:13] <jack009> Stanley00 yes
[15:13] <Stanley00> jack009: they are all in /var/cache/apt/archives
[15:15] <jzocco> looking for some help, I have a ton of music in my /home/.../music directory some are wma and I need to convert them to mp3. I need a utility that will recursively go through my Music folder and convert any wma to mp3. Any suggestions
[15:15] <rigved> fireprint: good. you should consider filing a bug to the e-mail adress that i mentioned. it's upstream. or you can file a bug with ubuntu.
[15:15] <CluelessPerson> I've never had any issue with linux before like this.
[15:16] <CluelessPerson> this is irritating
[15:16] <jack009> Stanley00 thanks
[15:16] <jack009> got it
[15:16] <Stanley00> jack009: you are welcome :)
[15:16] <fireprint> rigved yeah i was thinking about doing that, however i want to run it a day or two just to see if it sticks or not.
[15:16] <jack009> just one more thing what vlc may be named as
[15:16] <rigved> fireprint: ok.
[15:17] <usr13> jzocco: Here is what I've done with wav files http://pastebin.com/q14xfv8B  You may find something similar for wma
[15:18] <Stanley00> jack009: try find *vlc* file, but it's usually need more then one deb file to install a prog,
[15:18] <jzocco> usr13 thats very helpful thanks
[15:18] <Stanley00> jack009: what exactly do you want to do then?
[15:19] <modv> hi
[15:19] <jack009> Stanley00 install vlc on other computer where internet is not available
[15:19] <Nickel> so i set a startup command up =xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0= to disable my track pad on the laptop, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and i have to do it manually when i boot up, any idea why it doesn't work all the time?
[15:19] <modv> kik
[15:19] <CluelessPerson> Okay, wtf
[15:19] <CluelessPerson> I can't install ubuntu.
[15:20] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, I can't run your command, somehow I have 1.4MB of space left, even when using a freaking liveusb
[15:20] <CluelessPerson> wtf is this. lol
[15:20] <usr13> jzocco: I think you will need to use ffmpeg for wma but not positive
[15:20] <ikonia> CluelessPerson: control the language please.
[15:20] <oCean> CluelessPerson: control your language here, thanks
[15:20] <modv> why doesnt /wi work on irssi?
[15:21] <modv> im new to irc
[15:21] <modv> :(
[15:21] <jack009> modv welcome
[15:21] <Stanley00> jack009: hmm, I have a better idea, run synaptic on the "offline" pc, mark install vlc, then in the File menu, there will be a sub menu to save download script file, use that to download file you need
[15:21] <usr13> jzocco: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/Convert_WMA_to_MP3
[15:22] <OerHeks> awesome tip, Stanley00 +1
[15:22] <Stanley00> OerHeks: just figured out by some "mistakes" ;))
[15:23] <jack009>  Stantley00 use that to download file you need????? do u mean get that files from pc with resource
[15:24] <ohyalinuxx> i am wondering if xdg-open and padsp are available preinstalled on ubuntu
[15:24] <ikonia> ohyalinuxx: pre-installed ?
[15:24] <jack009> Stanley00  use that to download file you need????? do u mean get that files from pc with resource
[15:24] <Nickel> anyone read my issue above with  the startup command issue?
[15:25] <Stanley00> jack009: it's will generate a shell script file, in that file will be the command to download from internet, use wget actually.
[15:25] <ohyalinuxx> ikonia: i er mean so that they can be started without doing any apt-get. the commands xdg-open and padsp*

[15:28] <ikonia> modv: yes,
[15:28] <modv> ikonia, im new to this, can you help me?
[15:28] <jack009> Stanley00 :)
[15:28] <ikonia> modv: with what ?
[15:28] <modv> i cant /wi
[15:29] <ikonia> modv: works fine in irssi
[15:29] <usr13> jack009: Looks like lame does it:  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/convert-wma-mp3-77093/ says: "lame -h infile.wav outfile.mp3"  (I dont know, never dealt with wma, always just had ogg or mp3 files.)
[15:29] <diaz9943_2> So I am having some mysql problems, and got directed here from the #mysql IRC..
[15:29] <modv> ikonia, i did this command but its not appearing on irssi
[15:29] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, This entire thing seems pretty screwed up.
[15:29] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  I've never had these issues.

[15:30] <lokomendo> k
[15:30] <diaz9943_2> Long story short, when I do "/etc/init.d/mysql start", it returns "Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[15:30] <diaz9943_2> utility, e.g. service mysql start
[15:30] <diaz9943_2> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[15:30] <diaz9943_2> Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start mysql
[15:30] <diaz9943_2> start: Job failed to start".. and when I do "service mysqls start", it returns "start: Job failed to start".. Anyone got any idea what this is?

[15:30] <ikonia> lokomendo: you've said that
[15:30] <CluelessPerson> okay
[15:30] <lokomendo> said what?
[15:30] <ikonia> lokomendo: that it's not working
[15:30] <CluelessPerson> I tried to install something, and it said I needed to run
[15:31] <lokomendo> ikonia, I know
[15:31] <lokomendo> why isnt it?
[15:31] <CluelessPerson> sudo dpkg --configure -a or something
[15:31] <TC|Ubuntu> Ubuntu 11.04 isn't detecting both monitors...?
[15:31] <CluelessPerson> and then, I ran it, and the screen is just scrolling
[15:31] <lokomendo> ikonia, im running the new version of ubuntu
[15:31] <ikonia> lokomendo: what are you expecting to happen ?
[15:31] <lokomendo> to work?
[15:31] <lokomendo> lol
[15:31] <CluelessPerson> "error processing <whatever>:  dependency problems"
[15:31] <rigved> diaz9943_2: service mysql start <-- you made a spelling mistake with mysqls
[15:31] <CluelessPerson> What the hell is this. ;_;
[15:31] <ikonia> lokomendo: define "work"
[15:31] <CluelessPerson> ubuntu is failing me.

[15:32] <CluelessPerson> WednesdayThursdayFriday, work already!
[15:32] <ikonia> lokomendo: what are you expecting to happen
[15:32] <diaz9943_2> rigvend: that makes no difference.. if I type it right, it still says the job failed to start
[15:32] <lokomendo> ikonia, im expecting "whois" to show up on me
[15:33] <TC|Ubuntu> HOw can I get ubuntu to detect both of my monitors? :/
[15:33] <rigved> diaz9943_2: did you use sudo?
[15:33] <ikonia> lokomendo: ok, so if you press alt+1 you should get the service window in irssi where you will see the output
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> lokomendo: u using irssi? /whois appears isn the status screen
[15:33] <TC|Ubuntu> when I click "detect" it only inds one, which is marked as "unknown"
[15:33] <TC|Ubuntu> finds*
[15:33] <diaz9943_2> rigved its a dedicated server, running command line, everything is in root (and if I am not mistaken, that is about the same as sudo)
[15:34] <rk1960> hi, im getting this error when i do apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/696200/
[15:34] <rk1960> can anybody help me
[15:34] <macer1> I am searching for fsck.ntfs...is there anything like this?
[15:34] <rigved> diaz9943_2: yes it is. try service mysql stop. then try starting again.
[15:35] <ikonia> rk1960: remove var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages   and re-run sudo apt-get update
[15:35] <diaz9943_2> rigved: "service mysql stop" returns "stop: Unknown instance:"
[15:35] <jack009> usr13, ahhh, no just wanted to get vlc
[15:35] <jack009> ok
[15:35] <jack009> guys I got .deb file
[15:35] <jack009> It was some how delected
[15:35] <ikonia> jack009: vlc is inthe ubuntu repos
[15:36] <Stanley00> jack009: if your ubuntu on offline PC is "old", it cant download some file, cause that file is delected
[15:37] <jack009> ikonia yes I know, I wanted to get package location, I got it in var/catch/apt/archive
[15:37] <TC|Ubuntu> guys... am I invisible? According to Additional Drivers, it says that my GPU is activated but not in use. Windows can detect both monitors, but not ubuntu.
[15:37] <jack009> as Stanley00 said
[15:37] <Stanley00> jack009: you may need install aptoncd on your online PC and try using that tool...
[15:37] <jack009> Stanley00 I got it
[15:37] <dr_willis> TC|Ubuntu:  often it says that when they are in fact.. in use..
[15:37] <dr_willis> TC|Ubuntu:  what video chipset?
[15:37] <rk1960> ikonia: i have the exact same error :S i did even did apt-get clean before
[15:37] <rigved> diaz9943_2: ok. so the job is not running. is there any indication of problems? like in the logs? syslog? messages?
[15:38] <ikonia> rk1960: is that file there now ?
[15:38] <TC|Ubuntu> how do I find out, dr_willis ?
[15:38] <Polah> TC|Ubuntu: Jockey reports that it's activated but not in use, even when it is in use.
[15:38] <jack009> Stanley00 ya got that, just vlc package was delected, I have downloaded it again
[15:38] <jack009> thanks
[15:38] <hextasy> so last night, I did the release upgrade on my server with 'do-release-upgrade'.  I lost my connection - and reconnected this morning.  BUT - it seems to be stuck on Setting up isc-dhcp-client (4.1.1-P1-15ubuntu9.1) ...
[15:38] <hextasy> anyone have any advice?  restart it?
[15:38] <dr_willis> TC|Ubuntu:  what driver did the addational drivers try to isbntall?
[15:38] <Stanley00> jack009: but you may need a fresh ubuntu install to use aptoncd "perfectly"
[15:38] <rk1960> ikonia: yes it is now again
[15:38] <rk1960> after the update
[15:38] <diaz9943_2> syslog displays nothing whatsoever.. when trying to log into mysql (mysql -u root -p) I get the following error: "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
[15:38] <ikonia> rk1960: please show me the output of ls -la on the file
[15:39] <Polah> rk1960: Backup and remove all the list files from /var/lib/apt/lists and then re-run apt-get update.

[15:40] <Stanley00> jack009: because, if you have a ubuntu with vlc already installed, some vlc's deb file maybe was deleted somehow...
[15:40] <TC|Ubuntu> dr_willis http://i51.tinypic.com/5vyvxx.png
[15:40] <ikonia> !oldreleases | dashs
[15:41] <dashs> !jaunty | dashs
[15:41] <ikonia> dashs: bascially the repos are now at oldreleases.ubuntu.com
[15:41] <jack009> Stanley00 ok got it
[15:41] <Stanley00> jack009: and aptoncd will not include that "deleted file", so you cannot install vlc on other PC at all.
[15:41] <ikonia> dashs: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[15:41] <rk1960> Polah , ikonia any other idea? :S i dont know what else to do, its a fresh install btw
[15:42] <pythonsnake> Hello
[15:42] <jack009> Stanley00 got it, thanks:)
[15:42] <pythonsnake> When I was installing 11.04, I skipped the download parts. Now how to get them baack ?

[15:42] <dr_willis> TC|Ubuntu:  You are using Nvidia. :) run the nvidia-settings tool and see what it says about the drivers in use or not. Is there some actual problem? or are you just worried about that message?
[15:42] <ikonia> pythonsnake: you do it after the install
[15:42] <diaz9943_2> Any idea rigved?
[15:43] <pythonsnake> ikonia: yes but what packages ?
[15:43] <TC|Ubuntu> No, there is a problem - it won't detect my other monitor. :(
[15:43] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it's just apt-get update, that's it
[15:43] <TC|Ubuntu> http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/pny-nvidia-geforce-gt-430-pci-e-graphics-card-1gb-08623397-pdt.html this is my gpu.
[15:43] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it's looking for updates before the install
[15:44] <RussellAlan> DOES natty 11.04 run MONO?
[15:44] <The_BROS> Is there anybody from Florida?
[15:44] <pythonsnake> ikonia: I've checked the 2 tickboxes too
[15:44] <ikonia> RussellAlan: yes

[15:44] <TC|Ubuntu> it says disabled.
[15:44] <TC|Ubuntu> hold on
[15:44] <ikonia> Linux4UnMe: no ban, just please don't do it, more so if you know it's wrong
[15:44] <FloodBot1> TC|Ubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:44] <hextasy> nobody has any idea what to do with a stalled release-update?
[15:45] <Polah> Russell: Mono 2.6.7 comes by default
[15:45] <dr_willis> TC|Ubuntu:  you enable extra montiors by enabliong twinview normally
[15:45] <ikonia> RussellAlan: what's the issue you're having
[15:45] <RussellAlan> just mono
[15:45] <RussellAlan> Polah: okay so how do i run it?
[15:45] <Linux4UnMe> why is it wrong to advertise a site that helps newbies that have many questions that i can and have answered?
[15:45] <Linux4UnMe> freedom of speech = 0
[15:45] <TC|Ubuntu> yeah that works, now just to swap them around
[15:45] <Linux4UnMe> ubuntu nazis
[15:45] <ikonia> Linux4UnMe: we don't allow spamming, so please don't. Just accept it
[15:45] <RussellAlan> Linux4UnMe: this channel is not USA
[15:45] <Polah> RussellAlan: mono --help or man mono. Generally mono <program>
[15:46] <RussellAlan> ahh im an idiot... maybe I should use his website ;-)
[15:46] <dr_willis> really makes me want to go to his website... NOT..
[15:46] <rypervenche> ikonia: Posting his Youtube channel where he actually has useful Linux videos counts as spamming?
[15:46] <ikonia> rypervenche: yes
[15:46] <TC|Ubuntu> bingo. sorted.
[15:46] <al_nz1> how do I check if I am 64 bit or 32?
[15:46] <TC|Ubuntu> thank you dr_willis :)
[15:47] <pythonsnake> ikonia: does upgrade install flash etc.. for me ?
[15:47] <ikonia> al_nz1: uname -m
[15:47] <ikonia> pythonsnake: no
[15:47] <rypervenche> Ubuntu -1 then.
[15:47] <ikonia> pythonsnake: you need to install packages, for them to be upgraded
[15:47] <rigved> diaz9943_2: this looks like a similar problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=804021
[15:47] <al_nz1> i686 - which means 32 or 64 ?
[15:47] <dr_willis> Speaking of tutorials - i found this interesting shell/cli tutorial site. (not mine) http://www.playterm.org/

[15:49] <administrator> can anyone help with an ssh connection please
[15:49] <ikonia> al_nz1: there you go, just install it from the repo, you don't have to compile it
[15:49] <ikonia> al_nz1: you install it from the repos pre-compiled, and working.

[15:50] <pythonsnake> Now what packages do i need to install
[15:50] <pythonsnake> ?
[15:50] <ikonia> al_nz1: "didn't work"
[15:50] <hextasy> Benkinooby: you can use disk util on the mac - or just mkfs.hfs_plus it
[15:50] <al_nz1> ikonia so how would I reinstall the repo version?
[15:50] <ikonia> al_nz1: so blindly downloaded the  latest version ???
[15:50] <seemawn> hu
[15:50] <seemawn> hi
[15:50] <ikonia> al_nz1: just open the package manager, find zonemanager, click install
[15:50] <al_nz1> its already "installed"
[15:50] <ikonia> pythonsnake: ok, so now you have to install the packages
[15:50] <ikonia> al_nz1: ok, what's stopping you use it ?
[15:50] <pythonsnake> ikonia: what packages please ?

[15:53] <ikonia> pythonsnake: any codecs you want to use
[15:53] <al_nz1> ikonia : docs say it should

[15:53] <ikonia> al_nz1: again, which docs are telling you this
[15:53] <Guest78544> i turn off firewall with firestarter on both machines

[15:54] <Benkinooby> ikonia, hextasy thank you two for your valuable input. i used the mac to format it. maybe if i got some time i'll checkout the mkfs.hfs_plus and see how it works
[15:54] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: please do "sudo service mysql start" and pastebin the output
[15:54] <ikonia> Benkinooby: don't use mkfs.hfs, use the mac
[15:55] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: no need to pastebin 5 words? it says "start: Job failed to start"
[15:55] <Benkinooby> ikonia, i used the mac
[15:55] <ikonia> Benkinooby: good call
[15:55] <rigved> ikonia: maybe. but i was reading a forum post in which one person had this same problem and said that lo was down. maybe by running ifdown lo or something like that.

[16:00] <al_nz1> ikonia: i will run through those instructions and see how I go - thanks
[16:00] <diaz9943_2> ikonia, syslog says nothing about mysql, mysql log says nothing at all

[16:00] <excelsior> We have several USB wifi adapters in my office, Linksys WUSB100, and I'm troubleshooting them with Ubuntu 11.04. They seemed to work under Windows just fine. The computers they are on are old, and I think I may have found the USB2 slot on one, since it seems to work here and not in any other slots. Any thoughts?
[16:00] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/mysql/error.log
[16:00] <usr13> Guest78544: Ok, well, this is how it works.  You ask a question.  Someone trys to answer question.   ;)
[16:01] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: what happens if you run mysqld_safe manually ?
[16:01] <Guest78544> @user13 i get a connection refused error on port 22
[16:01] <usr13> Guest78544: Is openssh-server installed on the target machine?
[16:01] <Guest78544> yes
[16:01] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: how would I do that? I think I'm running everything manually.. its a dedicated server I'm controlling via commandline
[16:01] <llutz> Guest78544: on server: sudo lsof -i :22
[16:02] <usr13> Guest78544: nmap 192.168.?.?
[16:02] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: if you look at the mysql init script you'll see how it runs the mysqld_safe startup process, walk through that manually
[16:02] <Guest78544> says listen  sshd
[16:03] <TC|Ubuntu> how do you install a tar.gz file?
[16:03] <Guest78544> which machine do i nmap from
[16:03] <Fuchs> TC|Ubuntu: usually you better don't, since in most cases that means compiling
[16:03] <usr13> Guest78544: is this a direct connection, or are you going through a router?
[16:03] <ikonia> TC|Ubuntu: you untar it and read the README or INSTALL file that's in it
[16:03] <usr13> Guest78544: nmap 192.168.?.?
[16:03] <Fuchs> TC|Ubuntu: what software are you trying to install? Is there no ubuntu package for it?
[16:03] <ikonia> TC|Ubuntu: what are you trying to install

[16:04] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: thats the upstart config that will show you how ubuntu starts it

[16:05] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: and where is that..?
[16:05] <pythonsnake> ikonia: yeah it says it's locked and I need to close application using it
[16:05] <ionite> hi everyone.
[16:05] <usr13> Guest78544: If it is a hotspot, port22 is possibly blocked.
[16:05] <pythonsnake> but I don't see any apps
[16:05] <ikonia> TC|Ubuntu: what are you trying to install from tar
[16:05] <ionite> how do i make my ubuntu perform faster?
[16:05] <pythonsnake> I tied to logout
[16:05] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: it says in the startup script how it starts it
[16:05] <TC|Ubuntu> emesene
[16:05] <usr13> Guest78544: run nmap against the target and see what it says about port 22
[16:05] <TC|Ubuntu> it has a setup.py
[16:05] <ionite> it's lagging a few seconds to open a application.
[16:05] <ikonia> pythonsnake: what are you talking about, unlock apt
[16:05] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: in /etc/init/mysql.conf?
[16:05] <Guest78544> i went to ssh.icannotconnect.com it said port 22 is allowed
[16:05] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: that is the config file for the upstart job,
[16:05] <Polah> TC|Ubuntu: Empathy can connect to MSN and many other networks, it's installed by default...
[16:06] <Guest78544> ok will try nmap
[16:06] <pythonsnake> ikonia: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[16:06] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: that will tell you how upstart launches it, or what script it calls
[16:06] <TC|Ubuntu> Empathy.. let me see.
[16:06] <Polah> TC|Ubuntu, you don't need to install another program
[16:06] <Monotoko> pythonsnake, are you running as root?
[16:06] <ikonia> pythonsnake: then close the other package manager windows
[16:06] <TC|Ubuntu> oh.. jabber?
[16:06] <TC|Ubuntu> I had a look in that.. coudln't find msn
[16:06] <pythonsnake> ikonia: I don't have any package manager window
[16:06] <pythonsnake> Monotoko: yes, sudo
[16:06] <diaz9943_2> Ikonia: /etc/init.d/mysql?
[16:06] <usr13> Guest78544: Does it say "22/tcp open  ssh"  or does it say "22/tcp closed ssh"  ?  or....?
[16:06] <usr13> Guest78544: What does it say?
[16:07] <ikonia> pythonsnake: then remove the lock file that it's complaining about
[16:07] <marcusdavidus> how to delete icon name from plasma icon frpm desktop pls
[16:07] <ikonia> Guest78544: what is the ip address you are trying to connect to

[16:07] <pythonsnake> ok
[16:07] <pythonsnake> will try
[16:07] <pythonsnake> thanks
[16:08] <usr13>  ikonia I don't think he wants to tell us.  It appears that it is a public IP.  So...
[16:08] <Guest78544> is it safe to give out my ip address
[16:08] <usr13> Guest78544: Not really
[16:08] <ikonia> Guest78544: if you're concerned, send me a private message
[16:08] <Polah> TC|Ubuntu: Click the Mail icon on your panel and select "Set up chat", or look in your Applications menu for "Empathy Messenger" or something like that. Install empathy if you've removed it.
[16:08] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: where should I look for this file?
[16:09] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: I've told you 3 times, look in the config for what it calls, look for where it calls mysqld_safe and run that manually
[16:09] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: Look in what config file..?
[16:09] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: the one we've been discussing
[16:09] <pythonsnake> also, how to verify if my home is encrypted ?
[16:10] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: the init job for upstart.....
[16:10] <sveinse> I'm looking for a CLI tool that can unpack iso images without becoming root. Any proposals?
[16:10] <ikonia> pythonsnake: have you read any of the documentation ?
[16:10] <pythonsnake> no
[16:10] <ikonia> pythonsnake: check out https://help.ubuntu.com it will walk you through a lot of the stuf fyou're asking about
[16:10] <pythonsnake> IRC is my documentation :)
[16:10] <ikonia> pythonsnake: this channel isn't here to replace documentation
[16:10] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it's a supliment, read that url for guides, and query irc if you have problems
[16:10] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: /etc/int/mysql.conf dosnt mention any mysqld_safe
[16:10] <pythonsnake> ok
[16:11] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: that's not what I said, I said it will tell you how the upstart job runs.....which is what calls mysqld_safe
[16:11] <hoshi411> what is the best tablet to run ubuntu on?
[16:11] <Polah> sveinse: file-roller can handle ISOs
[16:11] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: or - just run mysqld_safe manually and see if it errors
[16:12] <jimbo> If I have a directory with files 01.txt, 02.txt, and 03.txt and I want to create subdirectories with the filenames minus their extensions (01, 02, 03), and move the files to their respective directories, how would I do so?
[16:12] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: and where is mysqld_safe located..?
[16:12] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: /usr/bin normally, have a look, search the file system
[16:13] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: although I advise you to find the init script and call it how ubuntu does
[16:14] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: /usr/bin/mysqld_safe.. start spamming "Nymber of processes running now: 0. Mysqld restarted
[16:14] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: as I said, look for the options for how ubuntu calls it
[16:14] <pythonsnake> can we use apt-get with wget ?
[16:14] <ikonia> pythonsnake: what ?
[16:14] <ANDruid> i cannot save the setting for visual effect
[16:14] <pythonsnake> ikonia: yeah - download with wget
[16:14] <al_nz1> ikonia: ok, I get : Starting ZoneMinder: Warning, overriding installed ./zm.conf file with local copy

[16:14] <ANDruid> anyone help/
[16:15] <pythonsnake> ikonia: how to make apt-get use wget for downloading
[16:15] <ikonia> pythonsnake: why do you want it to use wget
[16:15] <pythonsnake> it's faster
[16:15] <ikonia> pythonsnake: apt IS the downloader
[16:15] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: I really dont know how to do that..
[16:15] <ikonia> pythonsnake: no, it's not
[16:15] <ionite> how do install additional chinese fonts on Ubuntu?
[16:15] <ANDruid> sudo get-apt install wget
[16:15] <ikonia> diaz9943_2: I don't have a 10.04 box here to do it for you
[16:15] <HyeDude> hey everyone, I'm wondering is there any substituting software for skype for last version of Ubuntu? because Skype itself does't work properly on Ubuntu

[16:16] <ikonia> pythonsnake: %1000000
[16:16] <ikonia> pythonsnake: apt IS the downloader that's intergrated into the package manager
[16:17] <pythonsnake> ikonia: arch wiki doesn't think so
[16:17] <diaz9943_2> ikonia: https://join.me/574-115-332
[16:17] <ikonia> pythonsnake: are you using arch ?
[16:17] <openbees> HyeDude: i using skype and its working properly on 11.04
[16:17] <pythonsnake> ikonia: hmm. maybe it applies only for pacman..
[16:17] <dr_willis> pythonsnake:  err. :) yea.. that would make sence.
[16:17] <ikonia> pythonsnake: why are you using the arch wiki on how to use ubuntu ?
[16:17] <ikonia> pythonsnake: I've given you the link for ubuntu documentation

[16:31] <Benkinooby> zykotick9, thank you... i just found the equalizer for that application so no need to go for a systemwide solution :) thaank you for your help :)
[16:31] <Guest78544> lost internet connection on host
[16:31] <Guest78544> trying ssh ip address again but not doing anything
[16:32] <dr_willis> marcusdavidus:  that looks like a 'circle launcher' plasmid to me.  that i recall seeing ages ago.
[16:32] <dr_willis> ive neer noticed a way to rotate icons either like that. but i havent used kde in 6+mo.
[16:32] <OchoZero9> I can't boot in my computer. When in logged into windows i deleted my ubuntu partition. Now Instead of the Grub menu, i get "error: no such partition.   Grub rescue> _
[16:33] <Guest78544> connection restarted but given me new ip address dynamic connection i think with mobile broadband company
[16:33] <dr_willis> OchoZero9:  you want to reinstall linux? or are you going Just windows now?
[16:33] <marcusdavidus> man this is my screnshot thios are icons i put in circle by draging them omg how to remove name formthis 2 icons i oforgot how i id that before
[16:33] <ikonia> OchoZero9: you need to put the bootloader for windows back
[16:33] <ikonia> marcusdavidus: please stop cross-posting
[16:34] <OchoZero9> I'm going to just use windows now, because this hard drive is small. I have linux in my desktop
[16:34] <ikonia> OchoZero9: the guys in ##windows can explain how to put the windows boot loader back
[16:34] <dr_willis> OchoZero9:  you need to restore the windows bootloader/mbr.  theres guides online on how to do that.. depending on the versionof windows
[16:35] <YAKM> marcusdavidus: this is "daisy" not icons. It's a plasma widget like a dock
[16:35] <OchoZero9> thanks
[16:35] <llutz> Guest78544: thats why you should use "ssh -o CheckHostIP no user@host"   else it will complain with every ip-change

[16:36] <gagandeep> hi all i am new to linux and am using ubuntu 11.04 , i just want to start asking basic questions so i just wanted to know if this is right place to ask questions or should i go some other place
[16:37] <Polah> gagandeep: It is, ask away.
[16:37] <marcusdavidus> t when ppl telling me that i got freekign something just bcause i put icons in circle its hilarious:P
[16:37] <nuclearworm> hello, is there an internet accelerator/optimizer on ubuntu repositories?
[16:37] <ubun> dr_willis: hmmm. let me check.
[16:37] <lmnop> lol
[16:37] <ikonia> marcusdavidus: I suggest you leave now, and come back when you have a better attitude, they are trying to help
[16:37] <Guest78544> command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option:
[16:37] <dr_willis> marcusdavidus:  they are rotated at an angle also. ive never seen that done with normal icons.
[16:38] <llutz> Guest78544: thats an ooohhh
[16:38] <Guest78544> when using ssh -o user@host
[16:38] <llutz> Guest78544: ssh -o CheckHostIP no user@host
[16:38] <Guest78544> ah will try again sorry
[16:38] <ubun> dr_willis: no it does not work either.
[16:38] <dr_willis> ubun:  any error messages?
[16:39] <llutz> Guest78544: just replace "user@host"
[16:39] <ubun> dr_willis:no just not the right the user login or pass
[16:39] <TreesOnPipe> why isnt my ubuntu not picking up cache?
[16:40] <gagandeep> ok is it kernel in any linux dostro that makes it hardware independent or some other thing
[16:40] <Guest78544> command-line line 0: Missing yes/no argument. error
[16:40] <dr_willis> ubun:  thats weird. You could try booting a live cd, and chrooting in and adding a new user.
[16:40] <gagandeep> ?
[16:40] <dr_willis> ubun:  you sure your caps lock is not on? :)
[16:40] <TreesOnPipe> when ever it says
[16:40] <TreesOnPipe> its not accepting the cache and its giving me erros
[16:40] <TreesOnPipe> errors
[16:40] <ubun> asks for "tobe: login" my user name is tobe... then the pass same as always. and i hope the capslocks is the problem
[16:40] <dr_willis> TreesOnPipe:  what 'cache' are you refering to?
[16:41] <Guest78544> llutz  command-line line 0: Missing yes/no argument. error
[16:41] <TreesOnPipe> dr_willis, its some cache of a software
[16:41] <jrtech> Guest78544:  it is possible the user you are using do not have privillage to use ssh?
[16:41] <marcusdavidus> drwillis this si my screenshot  i plasma doing this omg stop i know how too it  :P bu its not work on opera icon somehow
[16:41] <llutz> Guest78544: what was your exact command?
[16:41] <Fanshawe> Could someone help me out with Evolution? 'On This Computer' is driving me crazy, giving me duplicate messages.
[16:41] <TreesOnPipe> dr_willis, do i have to execute something to install the cache on ubuntu?
[16:42] <dr_willis> TreesOnPipe:  install? still not sure what cache you mean. If you are wanting to update the repository package listing. it would be 'sudo apt-get update'
[16:42] <Guest78544> ssh -o CheckHostIP no user@host with user and host replaced my user and host details
[16:43] <padhu> MiniHOWTO is needed for simple & easy mail server configuration on ubuntu 10.04 for private LAN
[16:43] <ikonia> padhu: there are guides on https://help.ubuntu.com in the server section
[16:43] <TreesOnPipe> dr_willis
[16:43] <llutz> Guest78544: my bad,  "ssh -o CheckHostIP=no user@host"
[16:43] <Guest78544> ah ok lol
[16:44] <__MAX> padhu: try howtoforge.com
[16:44] <ikonia> howtoforge.com is terrible, please ignore it
[16:44] <rostayob> is there a good browser with low memory consumption?
[16:44] <__MAX> ikonia :y
[16:44] <__MAX> iuse before two weeks
[16:44] <llutz> rostayob: links2
[16:44] <dr_willis> rostayob:  theres alterantive browsers like midori that are decent.
[16:44] <Guest78544> ssh: Could not resolve hostname host Name or service not known
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> rostayob: midori
[16:44] <fuho> Hi,I am wondering if I should install Ubuntu 11.04 32b or 64b on my VPS. Any suggestions? I will be running LAMPP, Samba, OpenVPN server and will experiment a lot.
[16:44] <dr_willis> rostayob:  it depends on what you need init.
[16:45] <rostayob> well a text browser like links is not an option
[16:45] <Guest78544> replaced with my host anme
[16:45] <TreesOnPipe> dr_willis
[16:45] <rostayob> midori is the gtk+webkit one right?
[16:45] <padhu> _MAX: sure.
[16:45] <Polah> fuho: How much memory is available?
[16:45] <TreesOnPipe> its java related cache
[16:45] <llutz> Guest78544: use ip-address
[16:45] <rostayob> will it make a difference from chrome?
[16:45] <TreesOnPipe> currwently its says "error loading, please report"
[16:46] <fuho> Polah: 1GB, 2GB bursts
[16:46] <dr_willis> TreesOnPipe:  no idea what sort of cache java is talking about then. Perhaps clarify the exact issue and error messages and where they are comming from.
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> rostayob: no two browsers are exactly the same
[16:46] <Guest78544> ssh: connect to host myip port 22: Connection refused
[16:46] <Polah> fuho: You could use 32-bit for some potentially better application compatibility, but that's not really a huge issue any more. 64-bit could offer some small performance increases, it would also leave room for upgrading available memory later as well.
[16:47] <Guest78544> i am wondering if sshd is working properly
[16:47] <al_nz1> how do I reset networking in Ubuntu? I have a red cross on my lan icon
[16:48] <al_nz1> should just be dhcp from my router
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> al_nz1: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[16:48] <llutz> Guest78544: sounds as it doesn't. you had been connected once, all other attempts failed. check /var/log/messages or syslog on server for any sshd-related errors
[16:48] <fuho> Polah: Thanks, I am trying to avoid ALL unnecessary issues and memory upgrade won't happen :(
[16:49] <fuho> So the processing loss shouldn't be that big if I stick to32b right?
[16:49] <al_nz1> MonkeyDust: ta but it didnt fix it
[16:49] <L0cky> I'm looking at a cheap cloud ubuntu server for basic dev lamp stack and some git repos, all private except a minimal traffic blog.  Would a very simple mail server with 3-5 low traffic mailboxes be much of a problem with 256mb ram?
[16:50] <dr_willis> do dddddd
[16:50] <llutz> L0cky: should be no problem
[16:50] <__MAX> padhu:  100 % workin server and mail download,http://fullcirclemagazine.org/special-edition-1-the-perfect-server/
[16:50] <L0cky> thanks
[16:50] <al_nz1> MonkeyDust: what else could I do
[16:50] <fuho> Polah: One more question, should I use Ubuntu 11.04 or 10.04 LTS? Generally it is suggested to use the latest build, right?
[16:51] <padhu> _MAX: okey, let me readout
[16:51] <__MAX> kk
[16:51] <dr_willis> do vps's even come in 64/32bit flavors?  ive noticed  that befor.
[16:52] <Guest78544> hello
[16:52] <Polah> fuho: 10.04 may be more stable as it's an LTS. Also, like dr_willis said, check with your hosts as to whether or not your VPS can actually support a 64-bit system.
[16:52] <fuho> dr_willis: Yes, I can pick from 3 Arch ditros, 10 CentOS,8 Debians, 2 Fedoras, 2 Suse, and 9 Ubuntus
[16:53] <dr_willis> 9 ubuntus?  make me wonder what 9.. heh..
[16:54] <mang0> How do I remove a ppa?
[16:54] <IamTrying> Ubuntu 10.04 do not support USB 3.0? I connected one device and system is freeze.
[16:54] <IamTrying> Ubuntu 11.04 only support USB3.0?
[16:54] <fuho> dr_willis: 10.04,10.04-LAMP,10.10,11.04 32b.64b
[16:54] <Polah> mang0: Install ppa-purge then run ppa-purge ppa:ppa/name
[16:54] <dr_willis> mang0:  theres a ppa-purge command to remove packages it installed from it.
[16:55] <mang0> Polah, dr_willis: thanks
[16:55] <eman_> how do i query my computer to find out it's netbios name?
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> mang0: gnome3 ppa per chance?
[16:56] <mang0> ActionParsnip: no, opera ppa. I'm switching back to firefox... :)
[16:56] <dr_willis> eman_:  theres the findsmb and smbtree commands  but ive fond them to be a little flakey  at times.
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> mang0: ewww
[16:56] <mang0> ActionParsnip: What?
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> mang0: firefox :P
[16:57] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I prefer opera, but plugins, plugins!
[16:57] <gagandeep_> hi i just wanted to know if there is any software available for ubuntu like MYPhoneExplorer for android phones in windows
[16:57] <gagandeep_> ?
[16:57] <gagandeep_> ?
[16:57] <FloodBot1> gagandeep_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:57] <gagandeep_> ?
[16:57] <TreesOnPipe> where does linux store cache???
[16:57] <dr_willis> Been using Opera and really havent missed many FF plugins. :)
[16:57] <TreesOnPipe> dr_willis thanks for no help
[16:57] <TreesOnPipe> :(
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> TreesOnPipe: cache of what?
[16:58] <dr_willis> TreesOnPipe:  when asking questions. You should give a bit more detail expecially when youa re refering to the JAVA cache.
[16:58] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I only need to switch to firefox for this: http://kylebernard.com/?p=132 for me it says "missing plugin"
[16:58] <jargon> #TROYDAVIS #RESURRECTED AT #NYSE IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF POLICE AND PROTESTORS http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolutio
[16:58] <dr_willis> TreesOnPipe:  or else we are going to do this 20+ questions to get to the real question again.
[16:58] <jargon> #TROYDAVIS #RESURRECTED AT #NYSE IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF POLICE AND PROTESTORS http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution
[16:58] <oCean> jargon: stop that immediately
[16:58] <TreesOnPipe> dr_willis didnt you read the pm i sent you?
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> mang0: its just quicktime, my chomium does that just fin e...
[16:59] <dr_willis> TreesOnPipe:  you should keep it in the channel.
[16:59] <TreesOnPipe> dr_willis, uhh why?
[16:59] <yeats> !pm | TreesOnPipe
[16:59] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Hm, opera isn't reading it....is there a quicktime plugin for opera? I must google this >:)
[16:59] <dr_willis> TreesOnPipe:  you want the question answered? thats one reasin why.
[16:59] <TreesOnPipe> lol
[16:59] <dr_willis> I ignore pm's normally
[16:59] <TreesOnPipe> of course
[17:00] <bipul>  /ns id 460021

[17:00] <sjefen6> What is holding up quassel-core 0.7.3 for natty? I would think it was an urgent bug
[17:00] <dr_willis> priest:  network manager, or wicd can work with fluxbox.
[17:00] <llutz> priest: wicd maybe
[17:00] <mang0> bipul: Oops!
[17:00] <mang0> ;)
[17:01] <eman_> thx dr_willis
[17:01] <bipul> mang0,  dont violet that
[17:01] <mang0> bipul: I won't don't worry.
[17:01] <bipul> ok fine
[17:01] <gagandeep_>  hi i just wanted to know if there is any software available for ubuntu like MYPhoneExplorer for android phones in windows
[17:02] <marcusdavidus> once more i

[17:02] <pythonsnake> thanks jpds
[17:03] <priest> llutz + dr_willlis: thanks.. I'll try that :)
[17:06] <lakcaj> Is anyone using a gmail notifier that successfully logs in right now?  The FF extension I was using doesn't log in anymore, and neither do the various gnome gmail notifiers I've tried.
[17:08] <syrinx_priest> Hi all :)  Dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu 11.04.  After reinstalling Win7 and then fixing grub, now when I boot into Natty and open Gparted, it shows my entire drive as "Unallocated" :O
[17:08] <gagan3019> hi , i am new to linux
[17:09] <mang0> gagan3019: Welcome :)
[17:09] <syrinx_priest> Gparted shows a warning "Can't have overlapping partitions"
[17:09] <lighta> hi guys, where is chromium config files ? I can't find any .chromium folder
[17:09] <gagan3019> so i wanted to know that what is in linux that makes it hardware platform independet
[17:09] <gagan3019> ?
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> syrinx_priest: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l     does it say the same?
[17:09] <dr_willis> gardar:  its compiled for each platform...
[17:09] <th0r> gagan3019: it isn't
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> lighta: ~/.config/chromium
[17:10] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Did you say you have quicktime installed and are using opera? How do I get quicktime addon for opera on linux? Or do I just install quicktime for linux...?
[17:10] <dr_willis> bbl.
[17:10] <syrinx_priest> ActionParsnip: No, it doesn't say anything similar
[17:10] <lighta> thx ActionParsnip  =)
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> mang0: I use chromium daily build and arora
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> syrinx_priest: showing all partitions ok?
[17:10] <Polah> gagan3019: There's just generic drivers included with some distributions, like Ubuntu that allow it to basically function on a large array of hardware.
[17:11] <gagan3019> th0r:are you saying that linux is not hardware independent
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> lighta: its cache folder is in ~/.cache/chrome
[17:11]  * gardar slaps dr_willis
[17:11] <syrinx_priest> ActionParsnip: Yes
[17:11] <th0r> gagan3019: that's right. It has been compiled to run on a large array of hardware, but it is by no means hardware independent
[17:11] <gagan3019> ok
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> syrinx_priest: not sure then, sounds like an issue with parted. gparted is just a gui for parted
[17:11] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I see.
[17:12] <syrinx_priest> ActionParsnip: Yes
[17:12] <syrinx_priest> ActionParsnip: Oops... meant "Ah, ok"
[17:12] <gagan3019> th0r : only kernel or any other thing
[17:12] <syrinx_priest> grr, disk utility won't even open
[17:12] <KM0201> lakcaj: gmail-notify seems to be working OK for me
[17:13] <Headcase_Fargone> Any gparted gurus out there?  I'm fairly new to Linux and having some trouble partitioning these 3TB drives
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: if you use unity there is unity-mail which sits in unity and launches browser when clicked :)
[17:14] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: i don't use unity.... he was complaining that none of the "mail checkers" will log into gmail.
[17:14] <meltey> hi :)
[17:15] <meltey> could pls someone help me with ubuntu login screen? Im using Natty
[17:15] <metatagg> meltey: what's ur problem?
[17:15] <meltey> I want to turn it off , so after the boot, I will login using terminal and then turn gnome interface on
[17:15] <metatagg> hmm
[17:15] <metatagg> u can uninstall gdm
[17:16] <Petskull> wow... I just had a heart attack with Unity
[17:16] <meltey> yeah, but I need gdm
[17:16] <Petskull> what a crappy UI
[17:16] <yeats> Headcase_Fargone: just describe your problem and perhaps someone will know
[17:16]  * Petskull clicks Ubuntu Classic
[17:16] <meltey> I need only to have it turned off and I will turn it on when i want :)
[17:16] <Polah> Petskull: Don't use it then. Simple as that.
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: gotcha, theres one with a really OTT animation for an email
[17:17] <Petskull> yeah... I was giving it a shot
[17:17] <Petskull> stupid
[17:17] <Headcase_Fargone> Attempting to create two 3TB extended partitions, but disk utility and even GParted GUI don't seem to want anything to do with a partition over 2TB.  Each throws different errors.
[17:17] <metatagg> i think u can use update-alternatives to set it to off
[17:17] <metatagg> not sure though.. :/
[17:17] <Atamisk> meltey: have you tried removing the exec script for gdm in /etc/init.d?
[17:17] <meltey> where can I find update-alternatives pls?
[17:17] <llua> ♪: Kool G Rap - My Life
[17:17] <Headcase_Fargone> So I came across a page describing a way to create them using the parted command from console.  Followed the instructions and I *appear* to have a partition but I'm unable to do anything at all with it
[17:17] <M1N1Me> use LVM!
[17:17] <Headcase_Fargone> Can't create files/directories, etc
[17:17] <dc5ala> meltey, have a look at /etc/init/gdm.conf and comment the start on and stop on lines
[17:17] <meltey> Atamisk : sry Im new to ubuntu, Im not that skilled :D
[17:18] <Atamisk> ahh, hang on, i'll see what i can find for you
[17:18] <Polah> meltey: I believe GRUB can be configured to start up the system without X, but you'd have to reconfigure Ubuntu to start on tty1 instead of 7, else you'd have to switch to another first
[17:18] <zykotick9> melter, ignore Atamisk's suggestion!  just move /etc/init/gdm.conf to gdm.conf.disabled and you're all good
[17:18] <llua> Headcase_Fargone: permission problem?
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> XLV = 45
[17:19] <KM0201> hmm, thats actually a pretty good idea to easily solve that problem.
[17:19] <Atamisk> zykotick9: cool, i didn't know that would work too
[17:19] <Petskull> so it compiz completely broken now or what?
[17:19] <Petskull> as it stands now, I can't move windows by the titlebar
[17:19] <Petskull> or Alt-tab
[17:20] <Petskull> all I was trying to do what enable my cube
[17:20] <Polah> Headcase_Fargone: 3TB drives are unsupported in a lot of 32-bit systems and I believe even require certain extensions for 64-bit systems
[17:20] <KM0201> Peterman: thats a feature
[17:20] <KM0201> lol
[17:20] <Headcase_Fargone> So out of luck if running 10.04 32bit?
[17:21] <Petskull> KM0201, you talking to me?
[17:21] <tallis> I'm trying to install nginx, and I recieved an fatal error.
[17:21] <Petskull> I can't even alt-drag these windows now
[17:22] <tallis> http://pastebin.com/WWStrcSq
[17:22] <tallis> thjis is my error...
[17:22] <tallis> during the make process.
[17:22] <tallis> zlib 1.2.5, and nginx 1.1.4
[17:22] <Petskull> ok, Alt-f2 works, so I can always 'metacity --replace' if things get hairy
[17:22] <Polah> tallis: nginx appears to be in the repositories
[17:23] <tallis> what do you mean?
[17:23] <yeats> tallis: it means you don't have to build from source
[17:23] <tallis> 0.8 is in the repo then
[17:23] <tallis> but not any newer versions :(
[17:24] <g0rs> PGP for evolution email client :  for enabling pgp in evolution email client, do we have to place the pgp keys in any directory?
[17:24] <Polah> Headcase_Fargone: Yes, perhaps. There may be a workaround for it, but in general 32-bit architectures can't address the entire drive.
[17:24] <M1N1Me> mybe there is import keys in settings somewhere ?
[17:26] <yeats> tallis: what is the output of 'dpkg -l | grep zlib'?
[17:26] <Petskull> what the hell is this Island of Dr. Moreau?!?!?
[17:28] <Polah> tallis: have you looked for a more up to date PPA?
[17:28] <tallis> PPA?
[17:28] <yeats> !ppa | tallis
[17:28] <tallis> tallis@tallis-ubuntu:~/Downloads/nginx-1.1.4$ dpkg -l | grep zlib
[17:28] <tallis> ii  zlib1g                                1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3                    compression library - runtime
[17:29] <Petskull> lemme create a new user in case EVERYTHING goes sideways..
[17:29] <yeats> tallis: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable - probably worth checking out before chasing down the zlib issue
[17:30] <yeats> tallis: but you probably need to have zlib1g-dev installed too
[17:30] <yeats> (if continuing with the source install)
[17:30] <wOOry> can anyone suggest me a java project for my final year.....:) i m a student
[17:30] <tallis> hm
[17:31] <tallis> well source install is the only oine to get 1.1.4 i think
[17:31] <Petskull> wOOry, I got a good one
[17:31] <Polah> tallis: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/development has 1.1.2
[17:31] <wOOry> Petskull...plz tell me..
[17:31] <tallis> sudo apt-get install zliblg-dev ?
[17:32] <sivakumar_> did anyone know about how to install vmware in ubuntu
[17:32] <Polah> tallis: Since 1.1.4 isn't in that development PPA, it'll probably be more unstable than 1.1.2, 1.0.6 is their most stable so far
[17:32] <yeats> tallis: zlib1g ( that's a 1 not an l)
[17:33] <Petskull> wOOry, a system that grades documents; given a large body of documents that refer to each other, t finds the most refered to
[17:33] <ubun> dr_willis: i tried to change password using livecd didnt work. i also tried adding user and it didnt work. in livecd session it said it was succesful. but then when i tried to login normally it did not work.
[17:33] <wOOry> Petskull..u mean to say ranking of documents
[17:34] <ubun> dr_willis: is it possible to do a fresh install but keep my programs, and my files???
[17:34] <mrdeb> hi ubun
[17:34] <mrdeb> i dont think so
[17:34] <sivakumar_> hey anyone know about vmware in ubuntu reply me please?????
[17:34] <Polah> ubun: You can't add users in the live session normally to your system, you'd be add the user to the live system, not your usual system. Mounting your system drive and then chrooting may do it though
[17:34] <mrdeb> you can save your config files
[17:34] <yeats> !clone | ubun
[17:34] <Petskull> nevermind, it's complicated
[17:35] <ubun> mrdeb:ok. so then i would have to save them to an external. then pass them over. Is it possible to do that with a program.
[17:35] <tallis> yeats, new error.
[17:35] <grobda24> Does anyone know if I can edit files mounted using smb:// protocol at the command line (without making a copy of the file, etc)
[17:35] <yeats> tallis: can you pastebin it?
[17:35] <KM0201> Polah: you could chroot the drive from a Live CD, and create a new user, shouldn't be *that* difficult.
[17:35] <sh1ny> grobda24, smbfs
[17:35] <wOOry> Petskull::::i m interested in doning complicated task...please tell me more///
[17:35] <Polah> KM0201: Yeah, thoght that would work.
[17:35] <tallis> http://pastebin.com/dPpqmdqg
[17:36] <Polah> ubuntu: Boot the live session, mount your system drive then do sudo chroot /mount/point, then do adduser and suchlike, that should do it
[17:36] <mrdeb> i would jsut save the config files to flash, then make a list of programs to install, and after full install to it from termailn with apt-get
[17:36] <ubun> polah: i tried that. the whole mount /dev/sda1 thing...
[17:37] <sh1ny> or you can plan ahead and install your ubuntu with lvm , having /home on a separate lv helps keeping your stuff across reinstalls
[17:37] <yeats> tallis: you might ask about this in #nginx
[17:37] <ubun> yeah i went by the instructions on the ubuntu site
[17:37] <tallis> I did yeats but it's .. an inactive channel right now.
[17:37] <Polah> ubun: Yeah, but did you chroot?
[17:37] <wOOry> Petskull ...plz tell me more...........
[17:37] <ubun> yeah.
[17:37] <tallis> i'll try 1.0.6
[17:37] <tallis> see if that gets anywhere
[17:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> yeats:  you need patience in #nginx...
[17:37] <Petskull> wOOry, imagine a bunch of webpages that all link to each other
[17:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> we arent all on 24/7
[17:37] <TheEvilPhoenix> er
[17:38] <TheEvilPhoenix> tallis:  ^
[17:38] <sh1ny> 1.0.6 works just fine tallis , unless there's something specific that you requier ?
[17:38] <sh1ny> require*
[17:38] <yeats> TheEvilPhoenix: ;-)
[17:38] <th0r> wOOry: how about a filter to automatically ban script kiddies who insist on talking off-topic
[17:38] <grobda24> sh1ny, yes, but that means mounting using a mount command ? It's convenient using the GUI to mount.
[17:38] <TheEvilPhoenix> yeats:  sorry bout the ping :/
[17:38] <yeats> TheEvilPhoenix: np
[17:38] <Petskull> wOOry, your program figures out with are linked to the greatest number of times
[17:38] <tallis> 1.0.6 works
[17:38] <tallis> well it got past make
[17:38] <TheEvilPhoenix> tallis:  you need to wait on average up to 3 hours before getting a response in IRC channels... #nginx follows that pattern
[17:38] <Petskull> th0r, heh, sorry
[17:39] <yeats> tallis: if you're installing that version, I would recommend adding the PPA and apt-get-ing
[17:39] <KM0201> th0r: that would be near impossible...
[17:39] <sh1ny> grobda24, well then you can use mc to mount the smbfs in it and edit it through it :)
[17:39] <Fen-> what command line option displays folder size ?
[17:39] <Fen-> i mean command
[17:39] <tallis> idk how to add PPA... or what apt-geting is
[17:39] <TheEvilPhoenix> yeats:  the GC always recommends the PPA over the normal repos
[17:39] <Fen-> in terminal
[17:39] <TheEvilPhoenix> ;P
[17:39] <th0r> KM0201: but it would keep him busy, and off irc
[17:39] <TheEvilPhoenix> for nginx
[17:39] <sh1ny> tallis, add-apt-repository repohere
[17:40] <Fen-> du gives me also all subfolders and i just want one size
[17:40] <sh1ny> tallis, apt-get install nginx-full
[17:40] <KM0201> th0r: the ops do a good job of removing folks that are off topic...
[17:40] <wOOry> so my aim is to achieve, how much a document is linked.. with others..???
[17:40] <KM0201> no need to overcomplicate it
[17:40] <meltey> pls, how do I open my friend list?
[17:40] <KM0201> melter: friend list on what?
[17:40] <tallis> sudo add-apt-respository repohere
[17:40] <tallis> 'repohere' invalid
[17:40] <sh1ny> hm
[17:41] <sh1ny> you need the actual repo
[17:41] <mcbaine> is natty the latest iso?
[17:41] <sh1ny> give me a sec
[17:41] <meltey> my friend list...I cant remember nick of user Ive added as a friend
[17:41] <sh1ny> tallis,
[17:41] <KM0201> what IRC client are you using?
[17:41] <sh1ny> http://wiki.nginx.org/Install
[17:41] <meltey> xchat :)
[17:41] <dr_willis> wOOry:  you want to count the soft or hard links to a file
[17:41] <mrdeb> mcbaine soon 1110 is out
[17:41] <sh1ny> tallis, scroll down to "Ubuntu PPA" and follow the guide ;)
[17:41] <KM0201> melter: window/friend list   ?
[17:42] <sh1ny> KM0201, he is probably using xchat-gnome where the channel user list is hidden by default iirc
[17:42] <meltey> :D  I see :D  I tried to find command for it, but TY a lot :)
[17:42] <KM0201> sh1ny: apparently not..
[17:42] <yeats> tallis: 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable'
[17:42] <sh1ny> KM0201, or not :P
[17:43] <Headcase_Fargone> These 3TB partitions seem to be showing up properly now, but I'm still unable to create files or folders on them.  Someone suggested a permissions issue, but ls -l shows root root for both, which is identical to the two drives I AM able to successfully access fully
[17:44] <yeats> Headcase_Fargone: error messages?
[17:44] <yeats> Headcase_Fargone: (if they're multi-line, please use pastebin ;-) )
[17:44] <Whysper> Goodmorning everyone. Need some help with gnupg, New to Ubuntu by one day. If anyone is free, can we chat?
[17:44] <Headcase_Fargone> I'm using the GUI and the options are simply greyed out
[17:44] <mcbaine> what oneric all about ??
[17:45] <dr_willis> Headcase_Fargone:  what fs type are they?
[17:45] <Headcase_Fargone> ext4 extended
[17:45] <mrdeb> yes oneric is good
[17:45] <mrdeb> if you are gonna install wait for it
[17:45] <oCean> mcbaine: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[17:46] <Headcase_Fargone> I am able to copy files over using sudo cp
[17:46] <dr_willis> Headcase_Fargone:  make a dir on the fs via sudo mkdir then sudo chown the dir to be owned by.your user and try writing to it
[17:46] <Headcase_Fargone> Definitely a permissions issue it seems.
[17:47] <dr_willis> or.. chown the mountpoint after uts mounted
[17:47] <mcbaine> :)
[17:47] <Headcase_Fargone> chmod -R 777 work?
[17:47] <grobda24> sh1ny, not answering my question. CAn terminal/command line access smb:// files directly or not ?
[17:47] <Headcase_Fargone> I have access to it after that, but doubt that's the best solution
[17:47] <dr_willis> dont just toss 777 around. ;)
[17:48] <Headcase_Fargone> Security?  Blah :)
[17:48] <dr_willis> chown it to be i
[17:48] <dr_willis> owned by the user
[17:48] <Headcase_Fargone> chown i?  I'll try that
[17:49] <dr_willis> leaen how permissions and ownership work. ;)
[17:49] <sh1ny> grobda24, no, not without mountng it

[17:52] <mang0> I'm trying to install "plugger" for opera, but I'm getting errors about "X11 libary not installed"? Any ideas?
[17:53] <Aquaguy> Hello
[17:54] <Whysper> Hello
[17:54] <LaWU> Yo.
[17:54] <Whysper> LaWU, you have a moment to answer a few questions about gnupg?
[17:54] <Jackjon89> Hi i am new to ubuntu and have a problem, can anyone help ?
[17:55] <Ristovski> I installed ubuntu on my SD card using Unetbootin , I booted ubuntu , All went good but abount 2 mins in and I got an message box saying "this pc has 0 bytes remaining" any help? Some ppl say that happens , but my ubuntu was unusable
[17:55] <KM0201> Jackjon89: ask your question, if someone can help, they will
[17:55] <ikonia> Jackjon89: ask the question
[17:56] <Ristovski> but my SD card had 2GB free space
[17:56] <KM0201> Ristovski: and nyou tried to put ubuntu on that 2gigs of space?
[17:56] <KM0201> or it had 2gigs of free space, after you partitioned it for ubuntu.
[17:56] <dr_willis> Ristovski:  you made a persistant sace file?
[17:56] <Ristovski> dr_willis : Unetbootin did it
[17:56] <Polah> Is it normal for directories to be unaccessible when not marked as executable? I was reinstalling from a live session (10.10) yesterday and had to change some permissions to access my second drive, so I set permissions for public to 4 to read them and I could read files, but directories showed up as binary files until marked with 5 for public which made them show as directories
[17:57] <dr_willis> Ristovski: it made one?
[17:57] <kirior> hi, i need a guide on how to fix grub after windows installation :/
[17:57] <ikonia> !grub2 > kirior
[17:57] <Ristovski> dr_willis : yes
[17:57] <mang0> How do I find out a what libaries a prog needs?
[17:57] <dr_willis> Ristovski:  ut may be full
[17:57] <Ristovski> dr_willis : ?
[17:57] <dr_willis> it may be full...
[17:58] <kirior> ikonia, cheers !! :) need to bookmart it :P second time thiss week i need it :P
[17:58] <Jackjon89> i have installed ubuntu as my only OS, while ubuntu is starting up, before it requests my password an error message appears saying "disc drive for dev/mapper/cryptswap..." i've spent a fair old while googling and looking at the forums and i believe part of the problem is the fact i chose to encrypt my home folder (i did this on the initial setup when installing the ubuntu OS) despite reading about many people with the same/
[17:58] <zooka> !grub2 > zooka
[17:59] <ubun_> can i install ubuntu on a partition. go into another partition(lubuntu already installed into that one) copy all the files into the new ubuntu partition. then delete the lubuntu partition or "merge them:????
[17:59] <ikonia> Jackjon89: that will be the problem yes
[17:59] <KM0201> thus why i never encrypt a home drive.. just to dangerous...lol
[17:59] <Polah> ubun_: Did chrooting and doing adduser not work?
[17:59] <mang0> How do I check what libs a program needs?
[17:59] <ubun_> polan: no
[18:00] <dr_willis> ubun_:  you mean your users home dir and files?
[18:00] <Polah> ubun_: strange, it should've
[18:00] <Jackjon89> Any ideas on a remedy ? should i just not encrypt the home folder ?
[18:00] <ubun_> dr_willis: yes
[18:00] <Whysper> Damn, and to think I was a mouse click away from Encrypting the home folder :| Glad I didnt :(
[18:00] <ubun_> polan: i know but its not
[18:00] <KM0201> Jackjon89: that would be my suggestion.. but.. you may find alternate answers.. i dunno
[18:00] <dr_willis> ubun_:  should work
[18:00] <ikonia> Jackjon89: do you have a need to encrypt your home ?
[18:00] <ubun_> polan: idk why it didnt i tried 3 times.
[18:01] <Polah> ubun_: Did you get any error messages?
[18:01] <Jackjon89> well im not sure, i just assumed it would be safe regarding my personal details... if it's not necessary i'm happy for it not to be encrypted ?
[18:02] <ubun_> dr_willis: is there a way to check what packages are installed into the old partition through live cd: (i cant do it through the console: since i cannot log in.
[18:02] <ubun_> polan: no error message. said it was succesfull
[18:02] <dr_willis> chroot in ubun_  then see the! clone factoid
[18:02] <th0r> Jackjon89: consider using somethiing like keepassx to store password and such, and create an encrypted container with truecrypt for anything else you want to  protect
[18:02] <ubun_> clone factroid?
[18:02] <Polah> ubun_: chroot and run dpkg -l
[18:03] <ubun_> ok
[18:03] <dr_willis> ubun_:  you did chroot in when adding the new user?
[18:03] <k4r1m> is there a specific channel for Oneiric?
[18:03] <Jackjon89> sweet, that's fine, i used to use truecrypt with windows, so that sounds like a decent solution, thanks.  How do i disable the encryption of my home folder ?
[18:04] <trism> k4r1m: #ubuntu+1
[18:04] <k4r1m> trism: thanks
[18:04] <Polah> ubun_: Did you chroot to the correct directory? i.e. the one at the top of your old system partition
[18:04] <KM0201> Jackjon89: lol.
[18:04] <Logical> Hi there.
[18:04] <ubun_> dr_willis: yes i used chroot. i can try again
[18:05] <puntje> Hi, is it possible to hide the JOIN/PART/QUIT messages on XChat-GNOME client ?
[18:05] <KM0201> Jackjon89: if it could be disabled, it wouldn't be very useful
[18:05] <Logical> I have a problem with my OS, apparently something with the init files is screwed up.
[18:05] <TehAndrewRyan> i'm planning on upgrading my graphics card. i already got an ati card, and at times it can be glitchy with ubuntu. i'm tempted to choose a nvidia card, but the ati ones are cheaper. so, what should i do? and is there a way to make ati cards work better in ubuntu?
[18:05] <ubun_> polan: yes i did fdisk -l and it said it was sda1. the other 2 were swap and extended
[18:05] <Logical> Any help on what to do?
[18:05] <Jackjon89> really ? so i have to install the OS ?
[18:05] <Jackjon89> re-install*
[18:06] <dr_willis> TehAndrewRyan:  theres nvidia cards for every budget.
[18:06] <Polah> ubun_: That's not what I told you to do. I said to mount it somewhere, i.e. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt then chroot into it, i.e. sudo chroot /mnt
[18:06] <KM0201> Jackjon89: you can try this, but i wouldn't get my hopes up..  http://www.satansgarden.org/2010/03/05/removing-encryption-from-home-directories-in-ubuntu-9-10/
[18:06] <TehAndrewRyan> dr_willis: i'm looking at either gtx 560/570 or an ati 6950
[18:06] <freddy__> Hi - I have an old laptop that contains ubuntu dapper dualboot with XP. Now I want to sell it and format the dapper drive to ntfs. I use GRUB to boot it. What will happen to GRUB if I delete the dapper partition from XP ?
[18:07] <Jackjon89> thanks km0, i'll take a look now.  i just assumed that if i had admin privs i could somehow disable it heh.
[18:07] <KM0201> freddy__: the mchine will no longer boot.
[18:07] <dr_willis> freddy__:  reinstall the windows mbr.
[18:07] <dr_willis> first.
[18:08] <KM0201> reinstall windows mbr then use a partition tool to reclaim the space
[18:08] <freddy__> KM0201: can I do this from windows or do I have to have the windows boot disk ?
[18:08] <TehAndrewRyan> dr_willis: the radeon 6950 is better than the gtx 560, and the 570 is more expensive than the radeon 6950, but probably a bit better. the thing is i want it to be as cheap as possible, while still taking the fastest one
[18:08] <ubun_> polah: thats what i did. that the same exact instructions as on the ubuntu site.
[18:08] <Polah> freddy__: If you're going to sell it, you may want to consider zeroing the drive and then reinstalling Windows from there if you have any sensitive data on there
[18:08] <Polah> ubun_: What instructions?
[18:08] <KM0201> freddy__: there's a free utility called easus partition editor, that will restore a windows MBR>
[18:09] <KM0201> or mbrfix... those are the two i know of
[18:09] <Polah> freddy__: Can also be done from a Windows recovery CD
[18:09] <dr_willis> TehAndrewRyan:  wont do mych good to go ati if it dont work
[18:09] <freddy__> super thanks guys!
[18:09] <ubun_> polah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery
[18:09] <TehAndrewRyan> dr_willis: and ubuntu and ati don't quite like each other, right? (i'm mainly using ubuntu nowadays, but when BF3 is released i'm going to be a lot more on windows)
[18:10] <Polah> ubun_: You just did passwd and set a new password?
[18:10] <dr_willis> TehAndrewRyan:   pick the best nvidia for your $$$
[18:10] <TehAndrewRyan> dr_willis: alright, thanks
[18:10] <Jackjon89> right, think im just going to reinstall ubuntu, doesn't take that long anyway... i'll just choose no encryption...... thanks for the help guys
[18:10] <Jackjon89> :)
[18:12] <takitez> hi, anything better/faster than "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=8k" to wipe a disc completely?
[18:12] <dr_willis> takitez:  just reformat it. ;)
[18:13] <Polah> ubun_: If you just did passwd without specifying a user, then you changed the root password. Do the first few steps again up to chrooting, then do passwd <user>, replace <user> with your username, then set a new password. Reboot into your proper system and log in with that password, then run sudo passwd -l roo
[18:13] <Polah> dr_willis: Doesn't actually destroy data though, does it?
[18:13] <takitez> dr_willis: naa, have to give it away and don't want to make data-recovery too easy
[18:14] <dr_willis> Polah: depends on the options. ;)
[18:14] <Polah> takitez: There's programs that can do the same thing, like DBAN. Remember that dd will take quite a while, depending on the size of the disk. 1GB will take a few minutes
[18:14] <irvken> http://paste.ubuntu.com/696260/ what does this mean?
[18:14] <KM0201> takitez: dban?
[18:14] <dr_willis> and your paranoia level
[18:14]  * KM0201 is not that paranoid
[18:14] <irvken> http://paste.ubuntu.com/696260/ what does this mean?
[18:14] <Polah> DBAN is quite paranoid. One pass with dd from /dev/zero would do, two if you're a bit worried
[18:14] <ubun_> polah: ok let me give it another shot. but i will have to log off. since im in live cd at the moment
[18:14] <KM0201> irv: did you read it?....
[18:14] <irvken> i pasted it
[18:15] <Polah> ubun_: Did you do it with passwd username this time? (:
[18:15] <KM0201> irvken: i know, did you read it.
[18:15] <sveinse> A shell question:  I'm calling cp -a $* /some/dir within a script. $* may contain files or directories. In case of dirs, I'd like to copy the contents of the dir, not the entire dir to the destination. Can this be done with cp in a one-liner?
[18:15] <irvken> of course I bloody did
[18:15] <ubun_> polah: i'm about to try
[18:15] <irvken> did you
[18:15] <KM0201> irvken: thent here shouldn't really be any question as to what it means
[18:15] <Polah> ubun_: No need to log off then...
[18:15] <KM0201> irvken: i'm not the one asking an obvious question.
[18:15] <Polah> ubun_: Just chroot in a terminal and then do it, then reboot into your system
[18:16] <irvken> I didn't sat what did it say i said what does it mean
[18:16] <fireprint> hmm so close to done with setting ubuntu up now. One last thing i cant seem to get sorted is my java. Its installed fine, prints my version on -version and i can watch my youtubes.. however, when i try logging into my bank. It just says i dont have java installed. here were i live it has a java app open up. Anyone got an idea on where/what i should look into? perhaps a java error log?
[18:16] <ubun_> oh right: but i will have to log off to see if it works
[18:16] <irvken> twat
[18:16] <fireprint> and sorry for the long message.
[18:17] <KM0201> irvken: thus my point, if you can't read that and come to a conclusion of "what does it mean".. then.. i doubt there's anyone that can help you
[18:17] <oCean> irvken: that language is not acceptable. Drop that attitude
[18:18] <Polah> irvken: You're actually being help into understanding what it means. It's fairly obvious, it does say what the problem is several times.
[18:18] <irvken> ask a simple question and all you get are arrogant teenage solipsists trying to be smartarses
[18:18] <ubun> .
[18:18] <KM0201> lol
[18:19] <irvken> to me it seems to say lm-sensors is installed and then in the next response no it's not
[18:19] <irvken> how couuld that be
[18:19] <ubun_> polah: ok i did it and it says enter new unix password then retype. then it says "passwd: password updated successfully"
[18:19] <KM0201> irvken: it doesn't say its not installed
[18:19] <KM0201> it says the commandis not found
[18:19] <irvken> ah, ok
[18:19] <irvken> thanks
[18:19] <Polah> irvken: We're not being arrogant. KM0201 is actually just saying that the answer to your question is right in front of you. It means exactly what it says, the command lm-sensors does not exist.
[18:19] <Polah> ubun_: For passwd <your username here>, correct?
[18:20] <Exodus> irvken, the packages name is lm-sensors, that doesn't imply that is the name of a command inside the package.
[18:21] <Exodus> irvken, you can do a dpk -L <package name>  to find out what files are installed with that package.
[18:21] <pythonsnake> How to reset ALL settings to default ?
[18:21] <pythonsnake> like a new install
[18:21] <KM0201> irvken: i'll try to put aside my arrogant teenage attitude, and suggest you give this a looksie...  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[18:21] <Exodus> irvken, also use 'man'
[18:21] <fireprint> haha brings popcorn. this is awesome.
[18:21] <Aquacuak> is there any way to know under which user/group is PHP being executed? I'm getting a permission denied in a PHP script i've made so I need to change the owner of the folder I'm trying to read to that of PHP's
[18:21] <Aquacuak> ?
[18:22] <KM0201> Aquacuak: cd to the folder then ls -l
[18:23] <Aquacuak> KM0201, that's for listing the folders, and showing the group and owner I know
[18:23] <Aquacuak> that's not what I want
[18:23] <Polah> Aquacuak: I imagine it executes under www-data, for Apache at least
[18:23] <tallis> HOw do I make myself a superuser?
[18:23] <KM0201> Aquacuak: sorry, i misunderstood your question.
[18:23] <Polah> tallis: prepend your commands with sudo
[18:23] <cwyant> My laptop keyboard doesn't work after i log in, so i am forced to use a usb keyboard i checked all settings with no luck, any suggestions? also i'm using an intel mac if that helps
[18:23] <Aquacuak> what I want to know is ift's daemon username or whatever
[18:23] <tallis> I'm trying to move a file into /etc/init.d
[18:23] <tallis> away from terminal
[18:23] <pythonsnake> How to reset ALL settings to default like a fresh new install ?
[18:24] <Polah> tallis: gksudo nautilus then do it
[18:24] <tallis> punch that into terminal?
[18:24] <Polah> pythonsnake: Reinstall
[18:24] <pythonsnake> only way ? :'(
[18:24] <Polah> tallis: Yes, it'll open nautilus as root, then you should be able to move files into root-owned directories
[18:24] <Polah> pythonsnake: Easiest way, probably
[18:24] <pythonsnake> will removing home help ?
[18:25] <Aquacuak> thank you all
[18:25] <KM0201> pythonsnake: that would make all your programs reset like they were just installed, but not the OS.
[18:25] <Polah> pythonsnake: You could delete .application folders in your home to reset preferences for those programs
[18:25] <Polah> pythonsnake: But that wouldn't change any system settings
[18:25] <pythonsnake> yeah
[18:25] <pythonsnake> I want to change theme and stuff
[18:25] <pythonsnake> yo Benkinooby !
[18:26] <tallis> thank you POlah
[18:26] <KM0201> Python1320: then change it.
[18:26] <jakobht> Hey I have a very specific question concerning kdbg. When debugging a program the progress isn't shown in the source code (which is assembly). It just shows the the breakpoint as a red dot. Anyone know what to do?
[18:26] <new> hi i am brand new to linux and i am using ubuntu
[18:26] <ubun_> dr_willis: and Polah: i think i may be having another problem. it seems that it accepts it for like 1/2 a second but does not do anything (it kind of "blinks") then goes back to the login screen. seems that if it were the wrong password it would say so.. right???
[18:27] <new> could someone give me a hand with it
[18:27] <rypervenche> new: Welcome^^ What do you need help with?
[18:27] <caffine> new: just ask your question and if someone can help, they will. :)
[18:27] <Polah> ubun_: Very strange.
[18:28] <new> thanks i just finished installing it and i can lightly see the background of the login but its hard as hell to see
[18:28] <new> how can i fix that
[18:28] <new> when i was doing the install i had to fix it as well
[18:28] <KM0201> new: graphics device on the pc?
[18:28] <ubun_> polah: i know. i mean. there is no reason why it shouldnt accept it. anyways. i think rather than spend another 10 hours trying to figure it out. i may just do a fresh install.
[18:29] <new> i forget which but i its a newer nivida
[18:29] <KM0201> new: open a terminal
[18:29] <dr_willis> ubun_:  tried it at theconsole agaun?
[18:29] <irvken> command name has been changed to sensors, thanks KM0201 Exodus,
[18:29] <pythonsnake> how to switch from ubuntu to kubuntu without reinstall ?
[18:29] <KM0201> wow, score one for teenage knowitalls...
[18:30] <ubun_> dr_willis: i cant do anything there because i cant log in. it wants a login first
[18:30] <KM0201> lol, have no idea why i helped him after that remark
[18:30] <KM0201> lol
[18:30] <new> hang on i am looking it up now
[18:30] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:30] <jpvoip> Hello. How can i find the name/model of my notebook's webcam, so i can search a driver for it? ubuntu 11.04
[18:30] <dr_willis> pythonsnake:  install kubuntu-desktop package
[18:30] <L0cky> if I run a mail server on the local network, and send mail to it's ip, is that much different to a production server?  just want to test the set up process locally first
[18:30] <KM0201> new: there's a command you can run in terminal to find out, thus why i told you to open a terminal
[18:30] <Monotoko> jpvoip, lspci :)
[18:30] <dr_willis> ubun_:  go to the console alt ctrl-f1 and try there
[18:30] <KM0201> jpvoip: lspci or sometimes, they are on the USB bus, so lsusb
[18:30] <Monotoko> run it in the terminal, can't remember if it needs root or not
[18:31] <pythonsnake> and remove gnome and unity - how to do this ?
[18:31] <new> i can't see the screen enough to open a terminal
[18:31] <Monotoko> pythonsnake, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[18:31] <jpvoip> !paste
[18:31] <KM0201> new: oh ok.
[18:31] <Monotoko> only AFTER you have installed kubuntu though
[18:31] <ubun_> dr_willis: ive done that, but it asks for a login there too.
[18:31] <KM0201> new: did it look ok on the live cd?
[18:32] <rypervenche> new: press ctrl+alt+T to open a terminal
[18:32] <jpvoip> Monotoko KM0201 http://paste.ubuntu.com/696273/
[18:32] <new> i had to make a change at the beginning

[18:33] <new> and i will login but after that i can't see
[18:33] <naftilos76> hi everyone, i was wondering whether mounting sd cards in ubuntu 11.04 has been fixed. Does anybody know anything about that?
[18:33] <ubun_> ubun: !clone
[18:33] <KM0201> jpvoip: doesn't look like it was detected
[18:33] <jpvoip> KM0201 any suggestion what i can do?
[18:34] <KM0201> not at all, doesn't even look like it was detected
[18:34]  * false thwaps Python1320 for the false highligh
[18:34]  * false thwaps Python1320 for the false highlight*
[18:34] <Monotoko> lol!
[18:34] <KM0201> hehe
[18:34] <jpvoip> :(
[18:34] <jpvoip> it was working at Win7
[18:35] <caffine> filesystem that's reported as read-only when doing a mv, but mount says it's rw... anyone know what's going on here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/696276/   thanks!
[18:35] <KM0201> jpvoip: well, you're not using win 7
[18:35] <jpvoip> the i formated my notebook and installed ubuntu 11.04
[18:35] <Monotoko> jpvoip, sorry dude...I'm not on Ubuntu at the moment so I'm running from memory...
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> jpvoip: different OS,different support
[18:35] <KM0201> jpvoip: just because something works in win 7, doesn't mean it will automatically work in Linux
[18:35] <new> i had nomode set selected when i installed
[18:35] <Monotoko> jpvoip, is it built into the notebook?
[18:35] <jpvoip> yes i know... i just saying that it was working  at win7, so its not a webcam problem...
[18:35] <jpvoip> yes
[18:35] <KM0201> new: so did that make the screen "visible" on the live cd?
[18:36] <jpvoip> Monotoko yes it is
[18:36] <new> yes
[18:36] <Monotoko> jpvoip, bingo...what make/model is the notebook?
[18:36] <KM0201> jpvoip: well, i didn't really think it was a webcam problem
[18:36] <KM0201> new: ok, so you just need to add nomode to the install
[18:36] <jlstew> still problems jpvoip?
[18:36] <jpvoip> Monotoko: Infoway w7415
[18:36] <new> how do i go about doing that
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> jpvoip: does it show in: lsusb   or did KM0201 suggest that?
[18:36] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: it doesn't show
[18:37] <jpvoip> jlstew yes, my webcam its not recognized
[18:37] <jpvoip> ActionPArsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/696273/
[18:37] <Monotoko> jpvoip, hold on one second :)
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: thought you had, just checking :-)
[18:37] <jpvoip> Monotoko ok
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> New: hold shift at boot, when grub shows, press e and add the option
[18:38] <new> ok i will try that
[18:38] <gary_inNYC> quick question, if i logged onto my computer via "openbox-session", am I now not using a "desktop environment"?
[18:38] <sastudio> Hello guys,after xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --scale 1.25x1.25 , which scales my resolution , the cursos seems to be captured in virtual bounds(which seem to be 0,0,1024,600),any ideas?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> gary_inNYC: yes. Openbox can run without DE
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> gary_inNYC: makes it killer light
[18:40] <pythonsnake> Python1320: not my fault
[18:40] <new> do i just type nomodeset into grub
[18:40] <gary_inNYC> ActionParsnip: yeah, i'm trying it out now, it's a huge difference on an old laptop
[18:40] <Monotoko> jpvoip, hmmm ... don't think I can help unless I can find the webcam model it uses...which I don't seem to be able to find (even with Google Translate)
[18:40] <KM0201> new: when you hit e    did you see the option where you could type?
[18:41] <mang0> ActionParsnip: What was the program you said about removing repos/ppa's?
[18:41] <new> yes
[18:41] <KM0201> new: just type nomodeset   at the end
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> gary_inNYC: totally. If you want a DE then LXDE runs it as default.
[18:41] <new> ok
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> mang0: ppa-purge
[18:41] <new> on a new line?
[18:42] <jpvoip> Monotoko anything i can do to help?
[18:42] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> New: add it on the line with: quiet splash
[18:42] <jiltdil> How to permanent disable any service in ubuntu like chkconfig in redhat based?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> !boot
[18:42] <new> ok at the end of that line though?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> New: yes
[18:44] <new> that worked thank you
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> New: you cant break it, the options are only for this boot so a reboot will undo the option :-)
[18:44] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: thats what i thought.. i was tryign to remember how to make it permanent (haven't had to do it in forever)
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> New: you may find updates fix it, or you can add it permanently later if needed
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: in /etc/default/grub
[18:46] <new> alright i will take a look at what can update, because i am getting an error saying i don't have the hardware to run unity
[18:46] <WebDawg> Why did they password protect the forms?
[18:46] <WebDawg> ????????.
[18:46] <KM0201> new: i would consider the fact you can't run unity, a blessing.. :)
[18:46] <new> really lol alright
[18:46] <KM0201> new: you migh also need to install your graphics drivers.
[18:47] <KM0201> new: look in system/admin/additional drivers
[18:47] <io> WebDawg: ask them, #ubuntuforums
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> New: if you use nvidia or ati gpu, you can install the driver from the web for 3d support
[18:48] <dr_willis> WebDawg:  i would guess abuse and spam
[18:48] <new> and this will automatically update them?
[18:48] <new> and ok i will find that support driver
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> New: i would manually do it to be double sure
[18:48] <KM0201> dr_willis: you used to be able to browse it as a guest.... no longer
[18:48] <new> ok
[18:48] <bobbaluba3> how do i get ubuntu to work with redicously high resolutions?
[18:49] <Arutha^^> Is there any concern nowadays with non-boot 3TB/4k sector harddrives?  I'm looking at replacing some disks that are failing in my mdadm array, and figuring I might as well go big.
[18:49] <bobbaluba3> i'm getting an error saying it doesn't work because it's higher than 2880
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> bobbaluba3: you can use xorg.conf if your video chip doesnt have a GUI app like nvidia
[18:50] <bobbaluba3> i have the ati drivers installed
[18:50] <Chotaz> I've recovered a about 2000+ mp3 and mkv files from a formatted HDD using PhotoRec, is there any tool I can use to check which files are completly recovered and which are corrupted?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz:
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> No backup?
[18:50] <KM0201> hehe
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Yikes
[18:51] <fireprint> I'm having issues with my java. It prints my -version still the app wont start on a javasite. anyone with ideas? point me to right direction as to where to read up etc would be appreacited
[18:51] <Chotaz> ActionParsnip: my younger brother formatted my external hdd by mistake and I had to use photorec to partially recover my lsot media files.
[18:51] <Chotaz> lost*
[18:52] <Guest4630> hi guys, how can I recover epiphany pass ?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> fireprint: you need to symlink the .so to your browser plugins folder
[18:52] <fireprint> gracias ActionParsnip !.. again you make my day!
[18:53] <pythonsnake> how to reinstall ubuntu ?
[18:53] <jpvoip> Monotoko hey.. just press "Fn+F6" and its working :)
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz: could use: find /path -exec file {} \; | grep -v -i audio
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> fireprint: what arch is your ubuntu?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz: change /path obviously
[18:55] <fireprint> ActionParsnip, arch i am not sure what you mean by that.
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz: hopefully file will see the bad files as 'data' or similar
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> fireprint: 32bit, 64bit?
[18:56] <fireprint> oh, 32
[18:56] <jpvoip> thanks guys
[18:57] <WebDawg> Thanks io and dr_willis
[18:57] <fireprint> the weird thing is, on java.. you can test to see if java works.. and when i say "accept the thingamajig".. it pops up as working. however when i am trying that to my bank, it just waits. then says i dont have java. Seems to be locally at their bank perhaps. atleast i got it working! :)
[18:57] <pr0ton> when i run, time command
[18:57] <bobbaluba3> ok, i tried configuring my dual screen

[18:57] <ragel> hi every1, I m new here, some1 can help me ?
[18:58] <pr0ton> ragel, ask the question directly
[18:58] <bobbaluba3> however, everything looks weird and stretched
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> fireprint: you want libnpjp2.so
[18:58] <pythonsnake> !ask | ragel
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> bobbaluba3: try a higher dpi

[19:05] <KM0201> pythonsnake: nothing..
[19:05] <Arutha^^> Is there any word on when btrfs will be the default fs in ubuntu?  Is it still slated for post 11.10?
[19:06] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: I recommend a clean install.
[19:06] <nilzie> well xfce is also in the repos but theres a xubuntu. so im looking for a ubuntu like xubuntu but with gnome instead. like gubuntu or something

[19:08] <jiltdil> rww:rkhunter is telling this a suspecious one
[19:08] <LjL> jiltdil: it's a false positive

[19:08] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: BTW. I have a i368 kubuntu iso. Anyway to make it x64 ?
[19:08] <IdleOne> rkhunter is sometimes right
[19:08] <LjL> pythonsnake: no
[19:08] <jiltdil> rww:LjL:ok thanks
[19:08] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: no, you would have to download the 64bit version

[19:18] <Glassgost> stepnjump, its under synaptic package manager, the exact location eludes me right now, but its there somewhere
[19:19] <Glassgost> Yeah, what he said
[19:19] <stepnjump> thanks Glassgost
[19:19] <Zygoptera> /usr/local/bin sounds good
[19:20] <karstensrage> so it would be /usr/local/bin/mule-2.2.1/bin
[19:20] <karstensrage> or would you rather see someting like /usr/local/mule-2.2.1/bin
[19:20] <karstensrage> i guess i like the latter
[19:21] <Zygoptera> anywhere you want it
[19:22] <Zygoptera> it might have a default directory in it's makefile though
[19:22] <g30> hi
[19:22] <Zygoptera> hi g30
[19:22] <g30> hi
[19:23] <g30> they kicked me out of here before
[19:23] <stepnjump> Anybody here familiar with installing USB drivers for HP Officejet printers on Linux in term? It uses HPLIP... please let me know if familiar with the process
[19:23] <g30> just stopping in to say hello
[19:23] <g30> to my fellow linux users
[19:23] <llutz> Chotaz:  "file" just performs a magic-check, it read some special data from file-headers. it cannot check data-integrity, so be careful
[19:23] <Kyogre_> So I hear you guys like Mono?
[19:23] <LjL> !ot
[19:24] <g30> Oneiric how's it coming?> Did they fix the 32 bit stuff yet?>
[19:24] <g30> and all the broken softlinks
[19:24] <g30> ?
[19:24] <LjL> g30: please #ubuntu+1 for oneiric, and #ubuntu-offtopic for general chit-chat. just support here.
[19:24] <g30> ok thanks
[19:24] <Chotaz> llutz: is there anything I can use to scan a specific folder for corrupted mp3 files and delete them?
[19:25] <llutz> !info mp3check
[19:25] <llutz> !info checkmp3
[19:25] <llutz> Chotaz: see ubottu , might be the right tools
[19:25] <dooglus> how do I turn focus-follows-mouse off?
[19:26] <mehagopajas> erver irc.irc-hispano.org
[19:27] <stepnjump> nobody here ever installed a HP printer on Linux at all???
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: several times
[19:27] <Guest50664> sucks
[19:27] <nilzie> if i want the oneiric beta, should i download the dialy build?
[19:27] <stepnjump> hi ActionParsnip
[19:27] <Guest50664> step out and hack
[19:27] <stepnjump> ActionParsnip, I tried to run the hplip yesterday using the sh command
[19:28] <Guest50664> u have been hack
[19:28] <stepnjump> but it never detected my device\
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | Guest50664
[19:28] <stepnjump> actionparsnip: Was I supposed to disconnect the device whilst installing the drivers?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: does the script run ok?
[19:28] <stepnjump> actionparsnip: I'm trying it again today
[19:29] <fireprint> ActionParsnip, and for the java plugin chrome thing.. cant seem to link them. ;)
[19:29] <stepnjump> actionparsnip, yes it runs. All the repositories seem to be flagged.
[19:29] <nilzie> whats better to download if i want to try out oneiric? the daily image or the beta 2 one?
[19:29] <thiebaude> ActionParsnip, hey there :)
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: did you check the hplip site to sed if your device is supported
[19:29] <IdleOne> nilzie: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric
[19:29] <stepnjump> Actionparsnip it said before the setup stage, I should log off and log back in, then run hp-setup?
[19:29] <dooglus> nilzie: whichever you use, you'll update to the newest pacakges, so it doesn't matter
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Hi thiebaude
[19:30] <stepnjump> actionparsnip, yes it says it is supported
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: good, not wasting your time
[19:31] <stepnjump> actionparsnip, I'm so afraid of this setup because it never worked for me, now I'm trying to help an old aunt to transfer to linux and wouldn't want to mess up her computer
[19:32] <tallis> I'm using gedit "you do not have permissions necessary to save the file." how can I get around this?
[19:32] <mehlo> tallis: sudo gedit filename
[19:32] <lrojas> hi all
[19:32] <IdleOne> gksudo
[19:32] <ikonia> tallis: save in a place you do have permission, or launch gedit with gksudo
[19:32] <stepnjump> actionparsnip: now it says Restart or re-p=ignorelug in your printer (r=restart, p=re-plug in, i=ignore or continue)
[19:32] <ikonia> mehlo: gui apps are launched with gksudo
[19:32] <mehlo> tallis: gksudo gedit filename
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: try:   gksudo firefox http://localhost:631
[19:32] <thiebaude> yep for graphical
[19:33] <stepnjump> actionparsnip, should I plug in the usb now?
[19:33] <daddy> bitches!!!!!!!
[19:33] <daddy> my gay bitches

[19:33] <daddy> at l;ast
[19:33] <lrojas> how can i change my login screen in gnome to show boxes for both username and password, i hate the user list or type user and then another box to type password
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: i assume you have firefox installed, feel free to use a different (better) browser if you want :-)
[19:33] <stepnjump> actionparsnip, what is the gksudo firefox for?
[19:34] <Zygoptera> mozilla (all versions) seems to have a huge "xul layer web app" backdoor  that can't be disabled
[19:34] <stepnjump> actionparsnip is okay
[19:34] <stepnjump> actionparsnip I'm trying to install the printer
[19:35] <daddy_> u read it
[19:35] <ikonia> daddy_: please stop
[19:35] <daddy_> lol
[19:35] <pythonsnake> Does Kubuntu have something like Ubuntu one ?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: ru
[19:35] <lrojas> how can i change my login screen in gnome to show boxes for both username and password, i hate the user list or type user and then another box to type password
[19:35] <daddy_> hi ubutu guys
[19:35] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: Reinstallation successful :)
[19:35] <stepnjump> actionparsnip what do you mean ru
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: runs the browser as root so you can use the cups web co
[19:36] <ubuntu_> hello
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Config page
[19:36] <llutz> theres no need to run a browser as root to access cups-frontend!
[19:37] <mehlo> run your browser as root & you're asking for trouble
[19:37] <fireprint> ActionParsnip, got the ln stuff working now. everything works except the bank java still.. im gonna just tag it under "local problem at bank" and leav it at that. thanks again for the help.
[19:37] <adam__> Adam
[19:37] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__: Okay. Just ask.
[19:37] <thiebaude> !root
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> stepnjump: sometimes its works better than the gnome offering
[19:37] <dooglus> how do I turn focus-follows-mouse off?
[19:38] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], thx, I am new at this
[19:38] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> :-)
[19:38] <dooglus> or more generally, where are the settings for the window manager in unity?
[19:38] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], I am trying to install Ubuntu on a machine that is having a display problem.
[19:38] <lrojas> i wish my gdm greeter would show user/password boxes instead of asking the user and then the password
[19:39] <adam__> welcome
[19:39] <stepnjump> actionparsnip: as usual it gave me: no devices found... it always does that
[19:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__: Okay. :3 Can you at least see any installation instruction on your screen?
[19:39] <macuser__> Ubuntuaswr[xD] yes
[19:40] <anurag> hi can any one tell me where i can get this library "libg2c.so.0" I have ubuntu 11.04 installed and I am not able to find it
[19:40] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], I have put in the disk, and I am able to see that I have choices to choose to try Ubuntu
[19:40] <stepnjump> ahaha.. actionparsnip.. she had her usb plugged in the phone jack! lol
[19:41] <stepnjump> now it works thanks
[19:41] <stepnjump> Can't believe it!
[19:41] <LjL> anurag: i can see no package that contains that file.
[19:41] <superlou> anurag, did you add libg2-dev?
[19:42] <anurag> ya i have installed that also
[19:42] <superlou> oh
[19:42] <superlou> oh well
[19:42] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], I am able to see that I have three choices, but I cannot read the choices clearly
[19:43] <chinchurria> buenas
[19:43] <pythonsnake> Does Kubuntu have something like Ubuntu one ?
 Is it possible that these libraries are now old and existed in previous version of ubuntu
[19:43] <pythonsnake> or is ubuntu one compatible with kubuntu ?
[19:44] <caffine> filesystem that's reported as read-only when doing a mv, but mount says it's rw... anyone know what's going on here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/696276/   thanks!
[19:44] <superlou> anurag, not sure, sorry.   do you need them as a dependency for something?
[19:44] <anurag> yes
[19:44] <Arath> Hello
[19:45] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: there is no client for UbuntuOne in kubuntu, you can use one.ubuntu.com
[19:45] <pythonsnake> can I use kubuntu with ubuntu ?
[19:45] <pythonsnake> without kubuntu-desktop
[19:45] <pythonsnake> sounds odd
[19:46] <vlt> pythonsnake: You mean KDE?
[19:46] <Younder> How can I make Mathematica be an option in the unity application search menu?
[19:46] <superlou> anurag, maybe http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2406581/what-is-libg2c-library can help?
[19:46] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: lubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE
[19:46] <IdleOne> err kubuntu*
 looking into ,..............
[19:47] <pythonsnake> vlt: yeah
[19:47] <pythonsnake> KDE*
[19:47] <jtrucks> anyone recall off the top of their head the mount syntax for remounting / as rw?
[19:47] <jtrucks> or do I have to reboot for that to happen?
[19:47] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: some apps aren't same eg. nautilus vs dolphin; ark vs fileroller
[19:47] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: correct
[19:47] <vlt> pythonsnake: What do you want if not the KDE desktop?
[19:48] <pythonsnake> I want KDE with GNOME apps
[19:48] <pythonsnake> :)
[19:48] <IdleOne> install the gnome apps you want
[19:48] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> ubuntulog_: You can probably lauch a program called orca            for now to see tiny letters.
[19:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__:**
[19:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__: Once installed to system, things shall be alright.
[19:49] <puntje> Is it possible to hide the JOIN/PART/QUIT messages on XChat-GNOME client ?
[19:50] <stepnjump> guys, anyone familiar with a way to connect an easy way for technical assistance under ubuntu?
[19:50] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> puntje: Yes. For details, visit #xchat
[19:50] <bindi> will it affect anything if I install ubuntu with 1 core and then upgrade that to 4 cores over a reboot? (VM)
[19:50] <puntje> thanks
[19:50] <IdleOne> puntje: right click on the channel name, go to Settings
[19:50] <IdleOne> Ubuntusawr[xD]: xchat-gnome is not supported in #xchat
[19:51] <vlt> Hello. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a machine where 10.04 was installed before. Now the video performance is really poor, playing videos on youtube for example is not fluent.  Any idea what to check first?
[19:51] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> IdleOne: But that feature is not in the regular xchat at all? O_O
[19:51] <HPdv6> is there driver for " IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver " ? because mic is not working what mean time using skype like that app voice in front not hear ?
[19:51] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], thx, I have great faith in Ubuntu, I just need to figure out how to install it to wipe out my friend's hard drive
[19:52] <IdleOne> Ubuntusawr[xD]: sure it is.
[19:52] <kristina> on gnumeric spreadsheet, how do you have a number counting down on each cell, going all the way down
[19:52] <IdleOne> Ubuntusawr[xD]: /set irc_conf_mode 1 and /gui apply
[19:53] <puntje> Idle0ne: there are no 'Settings' after right clicking on a channel, instead it's one of the options you can (de)select right away, thanks a lot
[19:53] <bindi> jesus christ unity is horrible
[19:53] <bindi> where can i find all settings?
[19:53] <fireprint> if java is installed. working on firefox but only partially on chrome.. is it still the .so file that needs linked? I believe ive done it correctly, but not sure how to check.
[19:53] <IdleOne> bindi: mind the language please and install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:53] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__: What you can do as well is use this page to guide you through reading "tiny letters" http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/23/how-to-install-ubuntu-11-04-from-usb-or-cd/
[19:53] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], I just finished installing Ubuntu under Windows, presumably with Wubi, and I am now rebooting
[19:54] <auronandace> bindi: you don't have to use unity
[19:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__: Wait what? So you're using Wubi. Okay.
[19:54] <tallis> bindi, on the l ogin screen, click on your user then at the bottom.. you can changte your theme... or something
[19:54] <tallis> i should be right if i remember
[19:54] <zykotick9> bindi, i believe the whole point of unity is to remove setting and customization options
[19:54] <bindi> IdleOne: how is compiz related to all those administrative settings? i don't want that
[19:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> bindi: Just use Classic Ubuntu (You can change that at LOGIN screen. Switch the session type or something like that, you'll notice it at login screen)
[19:54] <c-beams> what is the fastest way to make an image of a 1TB hard drive?
[19:55] <jtrucks> does ubuntu 10.04 shutdown command support an option to force fsck to run on boot?
[19:55] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> zykotick9: Haha, very funny.
[19:55] <mehlo> c-beams: photocamera :-)
[19:55] <c-beams> lol
[19:55] <IdleOne> jtrucks: sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now
[19:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> bindi: That's what Unity is using? And compiz config setting s manager sounds like something that will let you customize more.
[19:56] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], I did successfully install Ubuntu 10.04 under Windows.  I am now rebooting
[19:56] <bindi> Ubuntusawr[xD]: i don't want to configure unity, it's horrible. using classic now
[19:57] <IdleOne> bindi: if you aren't using unity why ask about settings?
[19:57] <auronandace> bindi: just bear in mind that from 11.10 gnome2 won't be an option
[19:57] <bindi> IdleOne: using classic __NOW__
[19:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__: Okay. So ignore the URL I sent you earlier. I thought you were installing it the popular way (Outside of windows).
[19:57] <IdleOne> bindi: drop the attitude please.
[19:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser__: And congratulations.
[19:57] <bindi> IdleOne: sorry, you didnt seem to get anything I've said so far.
[19:58] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> bindi: What's so horrible about Unity? Lol, I find it the sexiest thing ever!
[19:58] <macuser__> Ubuntusawr[xD], I am hoping that I will somehow be able to use Ubuntu under Windows to do a complete install
[19:58] <jtrucks> IdleOne: what is / is mounted RO?
[19:58] <shelest> Hi there!
[19:58] <IdleOne> jtrucks: read only

[20:01] <shelest> I am a non-English speaker and I m looking for a grammarchecker in Ubuntu linux The ones from emacs and libreoffice are not enough for me
[20:02] <Arath> can anyone help me with my problem?
[20:02] <c-beams> Does anyone have a serious answer to my question?
[20:02] <IdleOne> c-beams: try clonezilla
[20:03] <llutz> c-beams: use dd, not fast but works. just don't use default bs
[20:03] <superlou> c-beams, dd
[20:03] <shelest> Arath: Can you plese repeat your question
[20:03] <th0r> Arath: I think you can download the package from packages.ubuntu.com
[20:03] <c-beams> llutz, can you elaborate?
[20:04] <Arath> thanks th0r
[20:04] <llutz> c-beams: dd default blocksize is 512 which is ... slow. use bs=4k or something to speed it a bit up
[20:04] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> shelest: What do you think of this?   http://www.afterthedeadline.com/
[20:04] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> !ask | Arath
[20:05] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> shelest: On that same exact page, go to "Demonstration".
[20:06] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> "With OpenOffice.org Writer: Our grammar, style, and misused word checker is available as an OpenOffice.org extension."           I'm not sure if this is true for libreOffice as well shelest.
[20:07] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> shelest:  And it's worth checking this page as well. (LibreOffice, Extensions for afterthedeadline grammar checker) http://extensions-test.libreoffice.org/extension-center/after-the-deadline-grammar-style-and-misused-word-detector
[20:08] <tallis> whats the command to open up /root with admin permissions?

[20:09] <pythonsnake> Terminal icon won't show up in unity panel ! help !
[20:09] <pythonsnake> dock*
[20:09] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: I've had an issue like that before. Before we panic.... Are you able to hover your mouse cursor over the Unity Launcher Tray?
[20:10] <pythonsnake> yeah
[20:10] <pythonsnake> "before we panic" lol
[20:10] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: Does any application names appear in text? But icons still invisible?
[20:10] <pythonsnake> Ubuntusawr[xD]: this issue doesn't apply to other apps
[20:10] <pythonsnake> I just don't see terminal's icon
[20:11] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Just the icons in Launcher tray for unity.        (But if you click to find OTHER apps on your computer, the icons then appear).
[20:11] <pythonsnake> huh?
[20:12]  * mang0 waits for pixaal
[20:12] <pythonsnake> Ubuntusawr[xD]: it's the dock..
[20:12] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: when you run terminal can you see the icon in the Launcher (dock) ?
[20:12] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: ONLY the dock? But you're able to rightclick on application and you'll see a big box of icons apppear for INTERNET,  OFFICE, GAMES, etc?
[20:13] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: no
[20:13] <pythonsnake> Ubuntusawr[xD]: yes
[20:13] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: you are either the unluckiest person in the history of clean installs or you are doing something very wrong.
[20:13] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Apparently, it's a bug/unsolved issue (To my own knowledge) for computer. Known as the "Blank/invisible unity launcher" bug. (something like that. It's on the launchpad website).
[20:13] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: I switched to using unity-2d
[20:13] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Which is GREAT.

[20:15] <IdleOne> Ubuntusawr[xD]: the floodbot gives them that link when it +q's them.
[20:15] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> IdleOne: oops.
[20:15] <IdleOne> no worries :)
[20:15] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: :-/
[20:16] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Lol, VvWolverinevV seems to be in the wrong channel. Pasting results for mysql ( #mysql )
[20:16] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: maybe a system upgrade would fix it .. :'(
[20:16]  * pythonsnake panics
[20:16] <VvWolverinevV> :(
[20:16] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: Give that a try.
[20:16] <krnlyng> hi, i just tried to upgrade my system and now it won't boot (as in blackscreen and modemmanager fails to start (probably other things too but thats what i see in dmesg)) some packages are marked as half-install (i don't know why, update-manager -d did not report any error) so i tried dpkg-reconfigure -a but it quits with the message: "dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: couldn't identify the package" how do i determine which package that
[20:16] <pythonsnake> Ubuntusawr[xD]: how
[20:16] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: ok, lets start from the beginning. You did a clean install correct? have you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[20:16] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> VvWolverinevV: Lol, dun worry, mistakes like this happens to all of us.
[20:17] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: yes, no
[20:17] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> (Okay, I lied, it's only you so far today xD)
[20:17] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: Otherwise, you're better off using unity-2d
[20:17] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: btw, I seleected Reinstall
[20:17] <IdleOne> pythonsnake: ok run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
[20:17] <anurag> superlou It hepls
[20:17] <pythonsnake> IdleOne: doing that :)
[20:17] <anurag> and done with installing that library
[20:18] <pythonsnake> BTW, I think that Ubuntu should compress more their packages.
[20:18] <pythonsnake> Just like Arch
[20:18] <pythonsnake> 300mb in 30mb
[20:18] <pythonsnake> It's a timewaste to dowload all this
[20:18] <anurag> <superlou > Thanks

[20:19] <Arath> Anyone with experience installing AL25150 wireless usb cards on ubuntu?
[20:20] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: There is a minimal installer available. (The kind that will give you packages in downloaded form, with everything upgraded, so no need to worry about upgrading).

[20:23] <lukususagewgwge> hello everyone
[20:23] <mordof> is there a channel I can get help with editing a gtk theme? i've been digging through the files for days and still haven't found what I need - I think what i'm looking for is actually -missing- from the files
[20:24] <BarkingFish> guys, I need some help.  One of  your bzr branches isn't working.  I just went to download from it and got an error.
[20:24] <BarkingFish> E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net/udt-developers/daily/ubuntu/ natty/main ubuntu-dev-tools all 0.132~daily+bzr1180~natty1-Something wicked happened resolving 'ppa.launchpad.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[20:24] <lukususagewgwge> i have some problem with my ubutu 11.04 i can't display Youtube site. Site is loading but display only some text without picture do enybody help me?
[20:25] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], k, I am at a terminal now.  I just need how to figure out how to access the Windows partition to destroy the data there
[20:25] <Arath> i got a tarball of the devs page of my usb wirerless, only problem is when i tried to do ./configure, it says "no such file or directory"
[20:26] <llutz> Arath: no README in the tarball?
[20:26] <greenit> hi, can any1 tell me the pros and cons of unity and gnome shell? i found some articles, but they are from feb/mar and they dont seem to be neutral, but prefer gnome shell -.-
[20:27] <DrShoggoth> greenit, play with both of them, use what you like
[20:27] <BarkingFish> !best | greenit
[20:27] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: Your problem looks exactly like this? http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7687/screenshotnk.png
[20:27] <DrShoggoth> I personally prefer gnome shell with the bottom bar replaced by a docky instance
[20:27] <Arath> well of course there was a readme, sorry my brain is like slow right now
[20:27] <greenit> well, can i install gnome shell easy?
[20:28] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> That's what I'm having, even after the upgrades.       Running this terminal command: unity -reset                  No luck.        So I ended up installing unity-2d  which is good so far. In the future releases/updates, I hope that will be fixed.

[20:51] <KM0201> well, i would wait, if you use the PPA kernel and run into a problem it's unlikely you have the skills to fix it.

[20:59] <Boom_Farmer> lukususagewgwge: Do you have Noscript installed in your browser?

[20:59] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: Awesome.
[20:59] <CanadianPirate> I have an issue with ndiswrapper
[20:59] <dr_willis> DERMANN:  11.04 and usb3 worked for me. it may depend on the chipset of the usb3 controller i guess..
 i don't now how i can check this?
[21:00] <CanadianPirate> Is it possible to change my mac address with ndiswrapper? I have already tried to edit the .conf files, but it did not work.
[21:00] <Boom_Farmer> lukususagewgwge: Wat web browser are you using?
[21:01] <lukususagewgwge> firefox 6.02\
[21:01] <Boom_Farmer> lukususagewgwge: In Firefox, go to tools> Addons, and look for NoScript or AdBlock
[21:01] <CanadianPirate> lukususagewgwge Have you installed the package flash-plugin?
[21:02] <macuser_> I am a simple end user trying to find data files on a Windows partition under Ubuntu BASH terminal.  Where does Windows keep data files?
[21:02] <lukususagewgwge> CanadianPirate yes i am install flash plugin
[21:03] <Boom_Farmer> macuser_: What sort of data files? The My Documents folder?
[21:03] <dr_willis> macuser_:  you could ask in #windows    it would depend on the file
[21:03] <ex0> yessir
[21:04] <josePHPagoda> anyone here know why I can't seem to use cgexec for launching a process in a cgroup on ubuntu 10.04?
[21:05] <macuser_> Boom_Farmer, yes, I want to destroy this user's data.  I am looking for the My Documents folder
[21:06] <Boom_Farmer> macuser_: Is it Windows XP or Vista or 7?
[21:06] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: in "C:\Users",       or "C:\Documents and Settings",
[21:06] <dr_willis> macuser_:  should be in the users directory. depends on the windows version.
[21:06] <CanadianPirate> macuser_ O_O
[21:06] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> CanadianPirate: I know right!? SHoot.
[21:06] <macuser_> Boom_Farmer, It is XP
[21:06] <josePHPagoda> Documents and Settings then
[21:07] <lukususagewgwge> Boom_Farmer i havn't this addons but i dosable all addons and still cant open youtube corectley
[21:07] <CanadianPirate> Try /media/<Windows Partition>/Documents\ and\ Setting/<Username>
[21:07] <CanadianPirate> I think that is windows format...
[21:07] <Boom_Farmer> lukususagewgwge: Did you also disable plugins? Disabling plugins would disable Flash.
[21:08] <lukususagewgwge> yes i disable plugin
[21:08] <lukususagewgwge> ok with one must be enable Boom_Farmer?
[21:08] <CanadianPirate> lukususagewgwge do you have torbutton installed?
[21:08] <Boom_Farmer> That's why. Flash is a plugin. You must enable plugins to view YouTube.
[21:08] <zelozelos> lukususagewgwge, its prob not the addons, but instead a related item, flash, goto the software center and remeove them all unless its the adobe flash installer
[21:09] <txomon> dr_willis, I can't still achive it
[21:10] <dr_willis> txomon:  assume people on irc have the attention span of a goldfish.. I dont rember your original problem..

[21:10] <Siekacz1> ok
[21:10] <Siekacz1> so
[21:10] <Siekacz1> it's weird
[21:10] <Siekacz1> because with fglrx i can run unity 2d
[21:10] <Siekacz1> without it i got blank dektop

[21:11] <Siekacz1> yup

[21:11] <KM0201> dr_willis: that's affirmative.

[21:12] <lukususagewgwge> in soft center i remove flah plugin for the mozilla proguct and instal adobe flash plugin
[21:12] <ex0> yes
[21:13] <maintenance> dr_willis, D-Link DWL-650+
[21:13] <NativeForeigner> Why does it say that 32 bit is recommended. What is the advantage of 32 bit over 64 bit?
[21:13] <Mike9863> When I run ifconfig to see my MAC Address, I see two HWaddr, one for eth0 and one for eth1. How do I know which one is my MAC Address?
[21:13] <ex0> 64 bit supports more memory
[21:13] <CanadianPirate> How do you change a mac address with ndiswrapper?
[21:13] <ex0> use
[21:13] <dr_willis> NativeForeigner:  its 'idiot proofing' 32bit should work.. if you know enough to know what 64bit is.. then you know enough to reserach./decide if you need 64bit.
[21:13] <ex0> macchanger
[21:13] <edbian> NativeForeigner: it suggests 32 bit because 32 bit OS will work on 64 bit hardware but 64 bit os will NOT work on 32 bit hardware
[21:13] <CanadianPirate> Macchanger did not work.
[21:13] <hasenj> Siekacz1 ..
[21:14] <CanadianPirate> It always stayed at the original address.
[21:14] <edbian> NativeForeigner: so there is a better chance of it working if you choose 32 bit
[21:14] <th0r> CanadianPirate: you do it with ifconfig
[21:14] <dr_willis> NativeForeigner:  i always use 64bit on my hardware that supports it.
[21:14] <Siekacz1> hasenj: yup?
[21:14] <ex0> u need 64 bit processor..
[21:14] <NativeForeigner> edbian: alright, figured. I just throught that was sorta weird. I know what I"m doing with 64 bit, but was just wondering if there were underlying stability isssues or something
[21:14] <lukususagewgwge> Boom_Farmer i still have this problem
[21:14] <hasenj> you're the same guy who was asking about fglrx?
[21:14] <lukususagewgwge> meaby version of firefox is a reason?
[21:14] <Siekacz1> yup
[21:14] <maintenance> CanadianPirate, perhaps with ifconfig HW ether ...don't forget to down wireless interfae
[21:14] <CanadianPirate> th0r: That just did the same thing as with macchanger. It did not change the address
[21:14] <dr_willis> night all.
[21:14] <Persona24> What is ADD Mode called now?
[21:14] <hasenj> Siekacz1, assuming you're the same guy, I think this was the wiki page IIRC https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch
[21:15] <ex0> make sure your using macchanger correctly
[21:15] <ex0> man macchanger
[21:15] <edbian> NativeForeigner: There is very few situation where 32 bit beats out 64 bit.  I think there are still some bits of software that are actually 32 bit code in a wrapper.  I think flash is this way on linux right now
[21:15] <Boom_Farmer> lukususagewgwge: SHouldn't be.
[21:15] <CanadianPirate> maintenance: Does HW have to be capitalized? I have tried without capitilization
[21:15] <NativeForeigner> edbian: yeah, I'm fairly aware of that. When I had fedora a year and a half ago it was like that
[21:16] <CanadianPirate> ex0: I know how to use macchanger, I use it on my laptop all the time.
[21:16] <lukususagewgwge> how i can repair this strange problem with youtube site
[21:16] <NativeForeigner> driver support is better in ubuntu though, which is why I am aswitching.
[21:16] <CanadianPirate> ex0: I am trying to get a wireless adaptor working on my desktop, and it needs a changed mac

[21:20] <qin> Mike9863: Try iwconfig
[21:20] <spacechicken> can anyone help with that?
[21:21] <macuser_> If I can destroy this user's data, he will let me take the machine out of his home, and I can wipe the Windows partition and dedicate this machine to Ubuntu and put it in a school
[21:21] <dekela> Its been 3 days I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on my Macbook pro 5.2 (mid 2009)
[21:21] <CanadianPirate> mike9863 Find out which one is in use, then check the mac for that interface. I am going to guess the one with eth0 is correct.

[21:22] <ju1c3> need help getting a microphone array to work on an HP dv3500, anyone have experience with this?
[21:22] <Mike9863> So should I just add both to a MAC Address Filter List for my router?
[21:22] <macuser_> I tried Documents\ and\ Settings/ no luck
[21:22] <dekela> but when I try to boot it jsut freeze
[21:22] <dekela> I tried removing splace and quiet
[21:22] <dekela> to see what is wrong
[21:22] <qin> macuser_: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/03/how-to-intentionally-screw-up-and-wipe.html
[21:22] <sdsds> k
[21:23] <dekela> but it just stuck on the first lines
[21:23] <CanadianPirate> macuser_ mount the windows partition, then go to the mount point. It should be pretty obvious from there (I forget the actual path to user data).
[21:23] <macuser_> CanadianPirate, I mounted the Windows partition at /media/windisk and I can see a bunch of .exe files, but no data files
[21:24] <CanadianPirate> macuser type cd then the tab key twice. Choose the appropriate directory
[21:25] <macuser_> qin heh thx, that is scary!
[21:26] <macuser_> CanadianPirate, how do I go to the mount point?
[21:27] <qin> macuser_: That is sometimes usefull. Do you want to keep windowson that machine?
[21:28] <macuser_> qin, No, I do not want to keep Windows on the machine
[21:28] <xim_> a terminal program wants me to enter some stuff from the keyboard as soon as it runs (not as arguments from the calling command but from prompts during execution) is there  something in the terminal that can spoof keyboard input so I can make it all work automatically from one command?
[21:28] <qin> macuser_: man shred
[21:28] <CanadianPirate> macuser type cd /media/windisk
[21:28] <neoclass> hi
[21:28] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Wait, are there anything you want to back up on that computer? (you're probably better off removing windows entirely from the harddrive).
[21:28] <CanadianPirate> *macuser_ cd /media/windisk
[21:29] <dekela> the mactel wiki pages are really outofdate
[21:29] <dekela> I installed grub on the boot partition
[21:29] <neoclass> how can i hide my ip adress and my proxy in ubunto ??
[21:29] <dekela> So I am not using efi booting
[21:29] <Kazilla> xim_: if you're on about the apt-get command, use the -y option so you dont have to say yes
[21:29] <neoclass> someb  know ??
[21:29] <dekela> but still no luck in booting
[21:29] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> neoclass: Go to System, select Network Proxy (From your menu)
[21:29] <xim_> Kazilla, no its other programs
[21:29] <jeremy-77> what version of ubuntu could i install to get legacy ati driver to work with a radeon mobility m6 on my laptop ?
[21:29] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> You might have to look into preferences as well.
[21:30] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> neoclass: You will have to find a way to proxy ADOBE FLASH and JAVA as well.
[21:30] <Kazilla> xim_: i'm not sure then, sorry
[21:31] <macuser_> CanadianPirate, I was root@ubuntu:/media/windisk# and I typed cd hit tab twice and then I got cd and cdparanoia and cdrecord
[21:31] <jls2> Ayone have any xp with citrix ica connection?
[21:31] <lukususagewgwge> i try to install google chrome and i thing youtube on this web browser will work good
[21:32] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I want to wipe the whole hard drive and install a clean install of Ubuntu
[21:32] <qin> macuser_: fdisk -l (output to paste.ubuntu.com)
[21:32] <xim_> Kazilla, k thx
[21:32] <CanadianPirate> macuser_ Sorry, I forgot to say put a space between cd and the tab, it does make a difference
[21:33] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: No backups? O_O                You're better off just running the CD. (The computer must be turned on with the CD in tray)
[21:34] <thomi> Hi - I'm currently running the fglrx graphics driver, but I notice that in oneiric jockey shows me the "ATI Fire GL" driver as well. What's the difference? Which should I be running?
[21:34] <sosaited> llutz, Thanks man/girl :) . I used wxHexEditor to replace few bytes of the corrupted jpeg from a working one.... and it opened without a problem . There should be a jpeg fix tool in linux :)
[21:34] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: friendly advice: backup backup backup
[21:34] <macuser_> CanadianPirate, I just typed cd space tab twice and got the same output as if I had done ls
[21:35] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Or at least still have product key for windows. O_O
[21:35] <mordof> anyone know of a link that they could give me that has the structure of the nautilus widgets listed?
[21:36] <lukususagewgwge> i check flash i install google chrome and i have problem with youtube site
[21:36] <lukususagewgwge> youtube still display only some line of text without picture
[21:36] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lukususagewgwge: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95346
[21:37] <KM0201> lukususagewgwge: as far as i know, you still haven't identified what version of flash you have (i've asked you 4x)
[21:37] <macuser_> qin, I can't write the output because I am writing from a friend's Mac and trying to wipe out his Windows machine's hard drive.  The Win machine has a display issue.  Only the terminal screen is clear enough to read.  I can tell you what fdisk -l says if that would help
[21:37] <daniele> i need some help om oneiric 11.10 and nvidia gt540 not loading compiz effects on unity
[21:38] <KM0201> !11.10
[21:38] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: you know pastebin? type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[21:38] <daniele> the drivers are enabled but not loading effects
[21:38] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I am trying to wipe out the HD so that I can do a clean install of Linux
[21:38] <qin> macuser_: So, two way, either "shred" to destroy files, or "dd" to overwrite harddrive, more awesome.
[21:38] <lukususagewgwge> KM0201 i have a flash ver. 10.3.183.10
[21:38] <daniele> neither gnome-shell loading due to nvidia
[21:39] <macuser_> qin, thx, but there are two hard drives in this machine, and the user wants me to wipe out his data first, and then wipe out the Windows OS.
[21:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Is your install Ubuntu CD ready?
[21:39] <pythonsnake> hmm.
[21:40] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: What's the file name of the CD you downloaded?
[21:40] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Exact file name please.
[21:40] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> lukususagewgwge: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html               <---- To see version of flash.
[21:40] <qin> macuser_: Where is mounted first drive, put whole line.
[21:40] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I used a pressed CD with 10.04 LTS
[21:40] <pythonsnake> If "Private" folder is detected, will it be encrypted automatically ?
[21:41] <pythonsnake> or something like this?
[21:41] <AllOfMe> is there a way to install gnome3 on ubuntu 10.10 and upwards?
[21:41] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: you know pastebin? type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit and paste it here
[21:41] <Kazilla> pythonsnake: as far as i'm aware only the home folder is set up to be encrypted
[21:41] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, I am typing to you on a different machine from the machine I am trying to install Ubuntu on.
[21:42] <darkknightcz> hi, how to start squid server? i installed it via aptitude, but it isnt service (sudo service squid start doesnt work). it isnt in init.d neither
[21:42] <lukususagewgwge> version of my flash is 10,1,999,0
[21:43] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, In other words, I am at a friend's house.  He has 2 machines, a Mac and a PC.  The PC has Windows.  We want to destroy the user data on the PC.  The PC is dual booted Ubuntu and Windows.  The PC has some serious video display issues.  Only the terminal is legible
[21:44] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, I can't paste from the PC to pastebin, unless you are saying that I can paste to pastebin from the terminal on the PC
[21:44] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: can you link the two pc over a local network? if yes, you can ssh to the remote machine
[21:44] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I am currently running Ubuntu on the PC, but I can't see the GUI display clearly.  I can only see the terminal clearly.
[21:46] <pythonsnake> how can i make sure a directory is encrypted?
[21:46] <jls2> Anyoen know how to get ubuntu to be able to cut and paste images from linux to a ICA Citrix session?
[21:46] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Look around in the menu, somewhere in System or personal preferences. Theres a program known as "Additional Drivers"
[21:46] <vilho> does anyone have an explanation why pppd throws up these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696353/ - I'm using 11.04 (32 bit)
[21:46] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, I am typing to you on a Mac.  The problem machine is a PC with Windows and Ubuntu.  Are you saying that I can ssh into the Ubuntu Windows machine from the Mac?
[21:46] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: It might have a good graphic card for you.
[21:47] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Ubuntu is already install though, right?
[21:47] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: missed that part, can't say
[21:47] <KM0201> macuser_: of course you can
[21:47] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], Yes, Ubuntu is already installed on a separate partition.  The owner wants the Windows user data destroyed.
[21:48] <AllOfMe> hmmm
[21:48] <KM0201> !openssh
[21:48] <AllOfMe> is he sure, macuser_?
[21:48] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: if you manage to ssh to the remote pc, you're saved
[21:48] <AllOfMe> Seems drastic
[21:48] <KM0201> mac's have an ssh utility by default i'm pretty sure.
[21:48] <KM0201> ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
[21:49] <tonywade> hi
[21:49] <macuser_> KM0201, k, I will get ssh
[21:49] <mkanyicy> hi tonywade
[21:49] <tonywade> hello mkanyicy
[21:50] <KM0201> macuser_: the machine you're trying to access... you'll need a valid username/password on that machine, the IP address, and if it's behind a router, you'll need to forward port 21/22 (i think, might be 20-21)
[21:51] <macuser_> KM0201, I just intalled openssh-server and openssh-client
[21:51] <macuser_> KM0201, I just installed openssh-server and openssh-client on the Ubuntu partition on the PC
[21:51] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: try this: ssh [remote user]@[remote pc] <enter>
[21:52] <KM0201> exactly...
[21:52] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: try this: ssh [remote user]@[remote ip] <enter>
[21:54] <macuser_> KM0201, How do I get the IP address of the target machine?  I tried ifconfig, but it didn't give me the iIP address
[21:54] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, How do I start a terminal on the Mac?
[21:54] <mkanyicy> macuser_: you should know it
[21:54] <KM0201> macuser_: easiest way, is to go whatismyip.com
[21:54] <dfcnvt> Is there a plugin for terminal to change color of each letter or word for every .5 second?
[21:55] <KM0201> macuser_: just keep in mind, that will be the network IP, if the machie is behind a router, you're gonna have to forward some ports
[21:55] <jls2> Are both machines on your locak network?
[21:55] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: can't say, sorry
[21:55] <mkanyicy> dfcnvt: no
[21:55] <dfcnvt> :(
[21:55] <KM0201> macuser_: apparently terminal is under application/utilities
[21:56] <KM0201> dfcnvt: that plugin wouldn't even make sense
[21:56] <abstrakt> how do I list the contents of a package from the command line
[21:56] <abstrakt> i don't know where the .deb files are
[21:56] <abstrakt> i installed via apt-get
[21:57] <MonkeyDust> does Mac work with bash?
[21:57] <abstrakt> i don't see it in the man page for apt-get or apt-cache
[21:57] <mkanyicy> !enter | abstrakt
[21:57] <KM0201> jls2: it sounded like 1 machine was remote, i don't think they're on the same network...
[21:57] <abstrakt> ?
[21:57] <KM0201> monkd: i would think so..
[21:57] <abstrakt> MonkeyDust, define "work"
[21:57] <ska> I have an old eee PC from asus, it only has 4gb of storage on it (solid state). What version, if any, can I put on it?
[21:57] <MonkeyDust> lol
[21:57] <abstrakt> MonkeyDust, have you used a mac in the past... 5 years?
[21:57] <abstrakt> 10 years? how long has OSX been out
[21:57] <MonkeyDust> abstrakt: no
[21:57] <KM0201> ska: lubuntu would probably work well.. it takes about 2.x gigs w/ a full install
[21:58] <dfcnvt> KM0201, sure it does. it's for visual reception to pick things up very quickly instead, being lost or trying to find the phrase somewhere in the text. (beside I think this plugin would be very interesting to observe)
[21:58] <patr|ck_> hello. how can i change the number of workspaces on Ubuntu 11.04.?
[21:58] <ska> KM0201: do i need a special install source?
[21:58] <abstrakt> MonkeyDust, where have you been hiding for the past 10 years that you don't know that mac has bash on it already
[21:58] <abstrakt> anyway, how do I get a list of files in a package
[21:58] <mkanyicy> abstrakt: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[21:58] <KM0201> ska: a special source?
[21:58] <ska> KM0201: i see it now..
[21:58] <lukususagewgwge> KM0201 my version of flash is 10,1,999,0
[21:59] <KM0201> ska: if you've got ubuntu-desktop, you may not have enough room to install lubuntu-desktop, id do a clean lubuntu install, but thats just me
[22:00] <ska> KM0201: yea, this think has windows.. I need to make a bootable usb on my other workstation.
[22:00] <ska> s/think/thing
[22:01] <KM0201> ska: lubuntu.net  download it and put it n a USB, and boot it and try it.
[22:01] <KM0201> ska: if you dont like it, no harm no foul.
[22:02] <aixguru> hey, does anyone know what to do if upstart has a service in a stopping state but wont clear it?
[22:02] <rbookhouse> Hey I thought I had an issue with my realtek wireless driver so I decided to follow some instructions of realteks to install theirs (basically delete the kernel module that came with ubuntu and run "make install' to install theirs)... how can I get the original one back (as I've worked out the wifi on the router was bad NOT the pc)
[22:03] <ska> KM0201: Do I need to use the USB Disk Creator tool?
[22:03] <KM0201> ska: yes
[22:03] <aixguru> I'm on 11.04 and get errors when I try and run service networking start or service networking stop due to "Unknown instance"
[22:03] <KM0201> ska: download the Lubuntu ISO from lubuntu.net (i'd get 11.04), then use the USB disk creator to put the ISO on a USB, then boot the USB on the netbook.
[22:04] <ska> KM0201: thanks.. I also hear that the new Ubuntu 11.X had an eee-pc image inside it too.
[22:04] <ska> KM0201: or something similar.
[22:04] <KM0201> ska, i don't really know about that... it has a weird interface that i guess some may compare to some netbook interfaces (called Unity) but it sucks IMO..
[22:04] <linty> Question: Does Canonicals Landscape Project work with RackSpace cloud servers? I checked the site and it says it works with Amazon EC2 but makes no mention of RackSpace
[22:04] <lukususagewgwge> and nothing with my ?
[22:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> is there a reason that 'kde-standard' does not run any network manager plugins/tools by default?  note this is  KDE installed on a standard Ubuntu, not Kubuntu.
[22:06] <pr0ton> which external portable hard disk would be best for ubuntu?
[22:06] <pr0ton> i mean, so i can create partitions and stuff on it
[22:06] <urlin2u> TheEvilPhoenix, open the NM in ubuntu and click all users and auto.
[22:06] <TheEvilPhoenix> urlin2u:  how would i go about doing that?  there's no NM applet/tool loading by default
[22:06] <TheEvilPhoenix> or do I have to install networkmanager-kde?
[22:06] <TheEvilPhoenix> or w/e it is
[22:06] <urlin2u> TheEvilPhoenix, in UBUNTU.
[22:07] <TheEvilPhoenix> urlin2u:  ah okay
[22:07] <urlin2u> :D
[22:07] <linty> @pr0ton - i use an external enclosure with a 7200 rpm hard drive installed and it works great
[22:07] <pr0ton> linty, which brand?
[22:07] <TheEvilPhoenix> urlin2u:  i still need a network management interface for KDE though ;P
[22:07] <urlin2u> TheEvilPhoenix, that will make it run, or  should, when you add another desktop, the original neesd ti be set this waty.
[22:08] <urlin2u> to*
[22:08] <jls2> Anyone know how to get cut and paste working for images between Ubuntu and a Citrix session (Windows)?
[22:09] <pythonsnake> Hi
[22:09] <pythonsnake> Does Ubuntu have turbo boost support ? i5
[22:09] <linty> @ pr0ton - Antec
[22:09] <pr0ton> Seagate or WD doesnt cause any issues right?
[22:10] <pr0ton> (like i dont void warranty or anything is it)
[22:10] <TheEvilPhoenix> urlin2u:  i see.  is there a way, though, to get a network manager applet into KDE?  kind of a requirement in order to use the VPNs i've got configured
[22:10] <Boom_Farmer> pythonsnake: Yes, ubuntu supports overclocking.
[22:10] <LukaszTarkowski> Hi people
[22:10] <pythonsnake> Not really overclocking.. Turbo Boost
[22:10] <LukaszTarkowski> I was looking for solution to my problem Ubuntu won't detect Momentus® XT Solid State Hybrid Drives
[22:10] <urlin2u> TheEvilPhoenix, if you do what I suggest I believe you will have one.
[22:10] <LukaszTarkowski> I cannot find it
[22:10] <aixguru> jls2: normal text copy paste should work if I recall right, but copy and past of objects does not go through between windows and citrix.  there is no way I have found to make that work or documentation surrounding it
[22:11] <linty> @ pr0ton - they are meant to work with any internal hard drive you want
[22:11] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, I was able to ssh into the Ubuntu PC, and I was able see the contents of /media/windisk, but it is the same thing that I am seeing on the Ubuntu PC
[22:11] <LukaszTarkowski> Why won't Ubuntu see my partititons at all
[22:11] <linty> any internal 3.5 hard drive i should say
[22:11] <jls2> aixguru, thanks. I havent been able to find anything either :/
[22:11] <LukaszTarkowski> This time I will stay and wait for an answer
[22:11] <Jordan_U> LukaszTarkowski: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[22:11] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: in terminal, type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit and paste it here
[22:12] <LukaszTarkowski> I don't have Ubuntu installed
[22:12] <LukaszTarkowski> Won't detected it Jordan_U
[22:12] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: i mean: on the remote machine
[22:12] <aixguru> jls2: in general the citrix client under linux seems to be a bit more limited.  I have also run into the same thing under Mac OS X.
[22:12] <urlin2u> TheEvilPhoenix, the kubuntu is considered another user, by the nm, so auto connect and all users, in the edit of ubuntu's NM
[22:13] <pythonsnake> is there any app for turbo boost ?
[22:13] <Jordan_U> LukaszTarkowski: Please boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB, run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output.
[22:13] <LukaszTarkowski> ok I will be back
[22:14] <LukaszTarkowski> let me make the bottable usb
[22:14] <jls2> aixguru, yeah. Seems like they did just enough to get it to work. No real perks. A shame, because I wanted to cut and paste my failboat pics from firefox into Outlook ;)
[22:15] <aixguru> Does anyone know of a way to get bonding working properly under 11.04 for NICs?  The most current docs online show the 10.x and up configs, but it appears to be broken.
[22:16] <aixguru> I'm running into issues with using the bond-slaves tag not wanting to ifenslave the devices, and also without bringing the eth devices up first as ifaces, it leaves them down after they are added as slaves to the bond0 device
[22:17] <Jordan_U> LukaszTarkowski: I'll be gone for about half an hour. Your problem is most likely an invalid partition table. Parted will tell you what exactly is invalid about it and "fixparts" will likely be able to fix it: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/
[22:17] <Kazilla> does anyone know why the ubuntu looks weird in vmware? and why i cant change it's appearance?
[22:18] <mukti> What do u mean
[22:18] <Kazilla> *ubuntu not the ubuntu
[22:18] <sosaited> is there any tool in Ubuntu/linux with which I can check a file's creation/modification date on a webserver ?
[22:18] <Kazilla> well its showing grey bars insead of the dark brown/orange ones
[22:18] <MonkeyDust> sosaited: try ls -l
[22:19] <sosaited> MonkeyDust, For a file residing on a website.
[22:19] <LukaszTarkowski> thanks Jordan_U will try it
[22:19] <Jordan_U> LukaszTarkowski: You're welcome.

[22:27] <macuser_> by the way, I am very grateful to everyone here for their help.  Thanks so much to all of you.
[22:27] <robot-army> I am having trouble getting Transmission to start via Start-Up programs. (Natty) It gives me a message relating to "Transmission is already running".  I can see that transmission-gtk is in fact an open process, but hung.  If I force close it and open Transmission from the program menu, it works.  Any ideas?
[22:27] <Peste_Bubonica> randomcola, I cant see Grub...
[22:27] <Peste_Bubonica> :)
[22:27] <Peste_Bubonica> only a black screen..
[22:27] <Kazilla> can anyone explain why my ubuntu looks like this http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8089/topbars.jpg
[22:28] <randomcola> mukti: I'm using 10.6 i believe
[22:28] <io> Kazilla: can you explain what "looks like this" means?
[22:28] <randomcola> I just installed a couple days ago
[22:28] <jrtech> Peste_Bubonica:  I believe only if you daulboot you see grub
[22:29] <Kazilla> io: i provided a link
[22:29] <Peste_Bubonica> jrtech, I have dual boot
[22:29] <DaZ> gtk theme seems to be pretty... default :f
[22:29] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: am thinking :)
[22:29] <Peste_Bubonica> i belive that it can be some kind of problem with framebuffer..
[22:29] <Peste_Bubonica> I cant see boot progress...
[22:29] <mukti> Randomcola what video card are u using
[22:29] <io> Kazilla: yes, I didn't ask for a link. I asked what you meant by "looks like this"?
[22:29] <Peste_Bubonica> I only press ENTER, see my harddisk light blinking, and the sytem loads...
[22:29] <LukaszTarkowski> help please here is my sudo parted -l
[22:30] <LukaszTarkowski> http://pastebin.com/TKDR25W6
[22:30] <randomcola> mukti: its the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730
[22:30] <Kazilla> io: it looks different then the default installation normally does, vmware has done something to it i dont know what
[22:30] <KM0201> macuser_: can you pastebin the output of   mount
[22:31] <jrtech> Well I am not sure what issue.  Your installation of ubuntu working.?
[22:31] <sanesto123> Hello, I installed ubuntuchroot on my hp touchpad inside webos, and i'm wondering if there is a way to be able to connect ssh to that ubuntuchroot, The problem is that ubuntuchroot have the same ip as the webos, is there a solution for that? thank you
[22:31] <LukaszTarkowski> my disk won't detect ubuntu  jrtech
[22:31] <randomcola> I will mention, when I install the "additional drivers" it stalls on boot, I did "acpi=off nomodeset xforcevesa to boot with additional drivers and removed them
[22:32] <Kazilla> has anyone here installed ubuntu on vmware ever??
[22:32] <io> Kazilla: ask them why they're messing with it then
[22:32] <mukti> Look for an ATI control panel or video settings in the systems menu. U should be able to configure an external monitor
[22:32] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, k, thx very much, MonkeyDust
[22:32] <randomcola> mukti: I get an error with that installed. it won't open the control center
[22:32] <Kazilla> io: thanks for the attitude and nohelpwhatsoever
[22:33] <rypervenche> Kazilla: haha. Why not use virtualbox? It's in the repositories.
[22:33] <jrtech> LukaszTarkowski: was it working before?
[22:33] <LukaszTarkowski> yes with the older disk I had jrtech
[22:33] <LukaszTarkowski> When I bought the new one it sopped
[22:33] <KM0201> macuser_: can you pastebin the output of    mount
[22:34] <macuser_> KM0201, sorry, I didn't understand that.  You want me to pastebin the output of what?  Just the mount dir?  would that be $ sudo /mount | pastebinit ?
[22:34] <urlin2u> LukaszTarkowski, is the HD guid?
[22:34] <jrtech> ok so it not detecting your new hdd?
[22:34] <MonkeyDust> macuser_: at this point, you need nfs, but i don't know that on a mac
[22:34] <mukti> Try to get updated drivers or Linux compatible control panel
[22:34] <LukaszTarkowski> urlin2u, the hdd is hybrid and part ssd
[22:34] <KM0201> macuser_: no, just mount      mount | pastebinit
[22:35] <urlin2u> LukaszTarkowski, I saw another with one of those last week i forget the manufacturers name
[22:35] <LukaszTarkowski> I can give you my manufacturer name
[22:36] <jrtech> check your bios make sure it is avai,able there
[22:36] <macuser_> KM0201, http://pastebin.com/9RBWXiyY
[22:36] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Wow, I thought you would had ready fixed this. o_O
[22:36] <LukaszTarkowski> urlin2u, Ubuntu won't detect Momentus® XT Solid State Hybrid Drives
[22:36] <randomcola> there is so many questions here! :-o
[22:36] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: So are you backing up? Or clearing the windows drive?
[22:37] <MonkeyDust> mount and df -h look very strange
[22:37] <KM0201> MonkeyDust: i agree
[22:37] <urlin2u> LukaszTarkowski, didn't see if the other,may have been you got it working, is it a guid, gpt as well?
[22:37] <iradnik> Hey folks. MY server already has ipv6 running great, but I just got myself a /64 and I want to configure the server to use more ips. First off I know I need to configure the server to stop using dhcp and be static, i've found the syntax for ipv4 for not v6. Any pointers?
[22:37] <jrtech> LukaszTarkowski:  it won't detect it if uour bios is not seeing your hdd
[22:38] <LukaszTarkowski> yeah how come windows works jrtech
[22:38] <LukaszTarkowski> I tried playing with bios settings jrtech
[22:38] <LukaszTarkowski> nothing helped
[22:38] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I have not solved it, no.  I am trying to delete the contents of this users' Windows data, so that I can take the machine out of his home and give it to a school, where real Linux gurus will install Ubuntu on it for the kids
[22:38] <MonkeyDust>  anywayz, gotta go, almost 1 am on this side of the planet
[22:39] <macuser_> MonkeyDust, thx!
[22:39] <Boom_Farmer> macuser_: Why can't you do it in person?
[22:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: I would had just formated the windows partition?
[22:39] <KM0201> macuser_: why can't yu do it?
[22:39] <al_nz1> can someone please help me? networking has stopped on my PC, it should just dhcp from router
[22:39] <grant99929> i need some help with a 11.10 install, i can login to my main account
[22:39] <Boom_Farmer> And is just deleting everything on the drive a valid proposition?
[22:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Secure delete it? O_O
[22:39] <KM0201> or does it need backed up, or what?
[22:39] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Boom_Farmer: That's what I've been saying from the start.
[22:40] <randomcola> al_nz1: can you tell me more?
[22:40] <jrtech> what version of windows you habe on tje jdd?
[22:40] <Boom_Farmer> XP
[22:40] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I'm like "why not just blow it up already". Stick dynamites in stones, break it's bones!
[22:40] <randomcola> al_nz1: is it a fresh install or did you just update?
[22:40] <al_nz1> randomcola: sure. its onboard ethernet with cable plugged in. the little networking icon shows red cross
[22:40] <pythonsnake> how to open a new window with unity dock ?
[22:40] <al_nz1> and I cant ping anything, not even router
[22:41] <grant99929> i updated to 11.10 from 11.04 and now i cant login
[22:41] <macuser_> Boom_Farmer, This machine has a problem with the visual display.  Only the terminal is legible.  The GUI is not legible under either Windows or Ubuntu.  Therefore, I must find the Windows data under Ubuntu, delete the user date, then take the machine out of here, install a new video card in it, and then install ubuntun
[22:41] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, there is a addon to the dock if you open it tha will allow that
[22:41] <Boom_Farmer> Ah
[22:42] <LukaszTarkowski> my paste bin shaws lba at the boot end
[22:42] <LukaszTarkowski> shows*&
[22:42] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: middle click
[22:42] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I am concerned that If I destroy the Windows partition, I won't be able to reboot the machine at all, not even under Linux.
[22:42] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, click on the docky icon-docklets-work place switcher
[22:42] <al_nz1> been installed for ages
[22:43] <al_nz1> havent rebooted in a while tho
[22:43] <KM0201> macuser_: why would that be a concern?
[22:43] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], there are 2 hard drives on the target PC.  I need to wipe the Windows data off of both of those partitions.
[22:43] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: ...
[22:43] <DeltaEpsilon> hi
[22:43] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: not docky, unity dock
[22:43] <DeltaEpsilon> how do I create an admin user on ubuntu server??
[22:43] <macuser_> KM0201, Sorry, why would what be a concern
[22:43] <grant99929> does anyone know why i cant log in on my 11.10? i just upgraded and now when i log in, it puts be back to the login screen...  help me :(
[22:43] <TheEvilPhoenix> DeltaEpsilon:  create a normal user, add them to the sudoers file
[22:43] <pythonsnake> grant99929: #ubuntu+1
[22:44] <TheEvilPhoenix> the same way you create a normal user anywhere
[22:44] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: I would have honestly just    wipe-out the whole entire drive.  And install with command line.
[22:44] <KM0201> why would you be concerned that if you do a clean install ubuntu, you would not be able to access it?
[22:44] <grant99929> thnx :)
[22:44] <TheEvilPhoenix> DeltaEpsilon:  #ubuntu-server for all the server CLI help though
[22:44] <glassresistor> i just baught a magic mouse and have laptop which has this kind of touchpad http://www.bhagwad.com/blog/2010/technology/alps-synaptics-touchpad-configuration-in-lucid-lynx-ubuntu-10-04.html/
[22:44] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, ah sorry about there is a switch in the dock.
[22:44] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> TheEvilPhoenix: Nice name.
[22:44] <pythonsnake> how tto tile in unity ?
[22:44] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Is that computer on the internet?
[22:44] <TheEvilPhoenix> !offtopic | Ubuntusawr[xD]
[22:45] <glassresistor> to make side scrolling work on the touchpad i have to turn it into a ps2 mouse, which klls the touchpad tab in the mouse settings
[22:45] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> TheEvilPhoenix: I'm giving support here. Lol.
[22:45] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], The target PC is on the Internet, yes
[22:45] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, it is also called a work place switcher.
[22:45] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: With WIFI or Wired connection?
[22:45] <LukaszTarkowski> hmm any ideas
[22:45] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, if you enabled the cube it does not work though.
[22:45] <jrtech> LukaszTarkowski:  You can also try a different version ubuntu and see if ot would detect uour hdd
[22:46] <LukaszTarkowski> i tried the 32 bit as well wouldn't budge jrtech
[22:46] <al_nz1> can I reset networking settings to factory defaults?
[22:46] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], The target PC is on the Internet with a wired connection
[22:46] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Oh good. Terminal font and text appears and works properly, right?
[22:46] <LukaszTarkowski> I have Ubuntu on the external drive it installed fine there
[22:46] <glassresistor> i have utouch installed and touchegg, but the magic mouse one does left/right click and scrolls with 1 or 2 fingers in all directions, i've tested the input and i see it regonizes up to 3 maybe 4 fingers but touchegg doesn't seem to do any gestures
[22:47] <glassresistor> im using the default config
[22:47] <glassresistor> amy ideas?
[22:47] <LukaszTarkowski> the hdd won't dtect
[22:47] <LukaszTarkowski> I am only having with this hdd internal one
[22:47] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], Yes, the terminal font is legible and works well
[22:48] <jrtech> LukaszTarkowski: Try to partition the hdd first and then install ubuntu
[22:48] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: You intended to install     Ubuntu LTS, right?             Otherwise,     otherwise, get the lastest version (Ubuntu Natty 11.04)                   I believe Minimal install is the beter option: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[22:49] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Don't use "wubi", lol.
[22:49] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: =(
[22:49] <LukaszTarkowski> did that as well wouldnt work jrtech
[22:50] <xim_> why does [gksudo gnome-terminal] work, and [gnome-terminal -e "bash"] works, but [gksudo gnome-terminal -e "bash"]  does nothing??
[22:50] <LukaszTarkowski> I will try to disable sata
[22:50] <LukaszTarkowski> then install
[22:51] <xim_> nm got it
[22:51] <jrtech> try that might work
[22:51] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Then you can follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel
[22:52] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: But you're selecting the option for Ubuntu Desktop.
[22:52] <KM0201> macuser_: if you're familiar w/ live CD's and how they work.. you could also just have someone boot a Live CD on that machine, and remote desktop the live CD, and run the installer from your machine (thats how i install ubuntu on grandmas machine)
[22:53] <KM0201> it's really not that difficult... not really sure what the issue is.
[22:53] <ex0> nice job KM0201
[22:53] <Drone4four> is there an alternate application to wine that does the same thing for Mac OS X that wine normally does for Windows?
[22:54] <ex0> #mac would kno
[22:54] <Drone4four> i want to emulate a program designed for Mac OS X on Ubuntu...
[22:54] <Drone4four> ty ex0, i'll try there
[22:54] <fus10nx> Hi All...is there a good web based piece of software that I can install that will give me useful information about my server such as free disk space, networking information, etc. ?
[22:54] <KM0201> ex0: it probably sounds harder than it is... certainly easier thana mini ISO, or any sort of network install (at least IMO)
[22:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Does that sound like a good idea to you?
[22:54] <ex0> its not hard but yea i know what you mean
[22:54] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> KM0201: He/she installing this on a remote computer? O_O
[22:54] <KM0201> Ubuntusawr[xD]: i know
[22:54] <KM0201> i've done it multiple times
[22:55] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> KM0201: I just want to see why it's such a trouble for macuser_ is all.
[22:55] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I can't see any screen other than the terminal.  I can't even see the boot options.  I had to guess at installing ubuntu from inside Windows.
[22:55] <KM0201> macuser_: you are making this way way harder than it needs to be
[22:56] <mongy> a mac os version of wine?   mine?
[22:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Is it a remote computer, that you can not access at this time right now?
[22:56] <RocketLauncher> Yo Yo official ubantu channel how does one do into 1280x960? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/696380/ i think i'm doinitrong
[22:56] <macuser_> KM0201, Sorry, I don't know any other way to do it.  I am a really simple end user
[22:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Or is the machine infront of you?
[22:56] <KM0201> macuser_: the machine is remote, correct?
[22:56] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I have 2 machines in front of me
[22:57] <KM0201> ..
[22:57] <pippino> hello
[22:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Oh then use then STAY AWAY from "wubi".
[22:57] <iradnik> Anyone have an example /etc/network/interfaces file showing how to have one ipv4 address (static) and multiple ipv6 addresses (also static)?
[22:57] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I am typing to you on a Mac.  The machine I am trying to wipe out is also in front of me, but the display is illegible in everything except the terminal
[22:57] <KM0201> macuser_: so the machine your'e SSH'ing into, is sitting right next to you?
[22:57] <pippino> !list
[22:57] <KM0201> macuser_: ok, now we're getting somewhere
[22:57] <macuser_> KM0201, yes, the machine that I am sshing into is in front of me
[22:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Is it 32bit computer, or a 64bit?
[22:58] <KM0201> have you tried booting a live CD on the machine?
[22:58] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], It is a 32 bit
[22:58] <urlin2u> macuser_, so what is your intention when up wipe it
[22:58] <macuser_> KM0201, yes, I have tried to use a live CD.  I can't see the GUI display hardly at all.  I can sort of see it, but the details are not legible.
[22:58] <ska> KM0201: The lubuntu iso doesn't seem to be liked by usb-creator.. not sure why.
[22:58] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> KM0201: Something is wrong with the display macuser_ said earlier.
[22:59] <KM0201> ska: it works fine, i've done it numerous times
[22:59] <macuser_> urlin2u, yes, i want to wipe the PC's hard drives.  It has 2 hard drives.  I need to wipe them both.
[22:59] <urlin2u> macuser_, did you try a nomodeset with the live cd?
[23:00] <ska> KM0201: for some reason when I click on it, the "make disk" greys out.
[23:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso         <---- Ubuntu 11.04                 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso   <------ Ubuntu 10.04
[23:00] <Boom_Farmer> How do I set up a TUN/TAP bridge interface for a VM?
[23:00] <KM0201> ska: did the ISO completely download?
[23:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Formininal terminal install.
[23:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: You still want to SSH-install it? or just pop in a cd/USB-drive on that second computer?
[23:00] <KM0201> macuser_: does the machine boot windows normally?
[23:01] <macuser_> KM0201, yes, the machine boots Windows normtally, but the display is still illegible.
[23:02] <pythonsnake> Tell me some cool stuff!
[23:02] <KM0201> macuser_: ok, so obviously its some sort of hardware problem.
[23:02] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], KM0201 yes, it is probably a bad video card.
[23:02] <ex0> or cord..
[23:02] <ex0> vga...whathave you
[23:02] <pythonsnake> =/
[23:02] <macuser_> KM0201, Yes, it is a bad video card
[23:03] <KM0201> macuser_: if it has a video card, and Onboard Video... can you remove the video card, and hook onto the onboard video?
[23:03] <KM0201> (assuming its not the onboard video that is bad)
[23:03] <macuser_> KM0201, No onboard video
[23:03] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_:  Can you use a USB or a CD drive on that "second computer"?
[23:03] <KM0201> macuser_: really?... thats pretty unusual nowdays.
[23:03] <fus10nx> any idea why I am getting this error when trying to use apt-get ?
[23:03] <fus10nx> http://pastebin.com/GbWN4vBk
[23:03] <ska> KM0201: I think so, but I can't find any md5sums to compare
[23:03] <macuser_> KM0201, I checked carefully for the onboard video, there is none
[23:03] <fus10nx> really annoying
[23:04] <KM0201> hmm
[23:04] <KM0201> macuser_: is it a custom PC, or is it a "store bought".. if a store bought, do you know the make/model?
[23:04] <fus10nx> or how can I clear out the apt-get cache
[23:05] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I can use the CD drive on the Ubuntu machine, that is how I installed Ubuntu on it.  But the display is so bad, I had to guess as I was installing Ubuntu from inside Windows.  I was not able to set the machine to boot from the CD
[23:05] <ramon> how do i get bash to automatically excute a command every time i manually enter a command?
[23:06] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: Push the F12 key repeatedly before the computer start, It's one of these F buttons.
[23:06] <fus10nx> i cant install anything via apt-get now, it's like the hamachi one is stuck in a queue
[23:06] <KM0201> macuser_: what make/model/model# is this PC?
[23:06] <macuser_> KM0201, it is a Dell Precision 340
[23:06] <jackjon89> hey, wondering if anyone can help.  Just installed "Getting things GNOME" and everythings gone abit bonkers.... thinking about uninstalling it as it keeps crashing and i have to force close.  but not the operating system gui looks different ? like windows 98 style... can anyone help please ?
[23:07] <ska> KM0201: Should I dl the "mini.iso" for netboot instead of the full iso?
[23:07] <fus10nx> nevermind got it
[23:07] <KM0201> ska: if you want
[23:07] <KM0201> ubuntulog_: thats tough to do when you can't see the display
[23:07] <KM0201> sorry Ubuntusawr[xD] see above
[23:08] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I tried to push the F12 key repeatedly, but that didn't work.  I was able to push the f2 key repeatedly, and I was able to get into setup, but I was not able to see the display well enough to see what was going on on the display
[23:09] <Bizzeh> hi, is there a WUBI installer for 11.10 beta 2?
[23:09] <KM0201> macuser_: so do you not have an old computer/video card to pop in the machine.
[23:09] <KM0201> Bizzeh: not that i know of, and you'd be completely out of your mind to try it if there was
[23:09] <robot-army> I am having trouble getting Transmission to start via Start-Up programs. (Natty) It gives me a message relating to "Transmission is already running".  I can see that transmission-gtk is in fact an open process, but hung.  If I force close it and open Transmission from the program menu, it works.  Any ideas?
[23:09] <ddelrio1986> How do I allow apache to write to a folder in my home directory?
[23:10] <macuser_> KM0201, I don't have a video card here in the owner's home.  I have a number of video cards at the school, probably, but the owner of the PC won't let me take the computer out of his home without securely destroying the data first
[23:10] <Bizzeh> KM0201: why, the installation procedure would be roughly identical, its just the files/configs installed to the virtual drive that are different
[23:11] <jpmh> I have a touch screen that I want to get working - lshal and lsusb both show it as 0408 4002 - so I added a /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with that device and an alias there - when I boot I still just see hiddev0, hiddev1 and hiddev2 - what am I missinbg here
[23:11] <KM0201> Bizzeh: lol, ok sport...
[23:11] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Bizzeh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_install_Wubi_on_a_machine_with_no_Internet_connection.3F
[23:11] <KM0201> macuser_: so basically you want to format the hard drive, then take the machine to school and fix it.
[23:12] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Bizzeh: In fact, I miss-read, sorry. I do not see any avaible for 11.10. And like KM0201 said, that would be rather weird.
[23:12] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> o_O
[23:12] <KM0201> Ubuntusawr[xD]: beyond weird, i'm thinking more like "glutton for punishment"
[23:13] <Bizzeh> KM0201: create file of static size, zero the file, mount that file as a drive, install ubuntu to that virtual drive. install grub, tell grub where that file is and to mount it and boot
[23:13] <macuser_> KM0201, yes
[23:13] <urlin2u> Bizzeh, probably not wubi will download the latest release automatically.
[23:13] <Bizzeh> simplified process, but between releases, there shouldnt be any difference between how its installed
[23:13] <Bizzeh> if there is, wubi is built wrong
[23:13] <KM0201> macuser_: hmm, if you can boot a live CD on the machine, and see well enough to open a terminal and install ssh... you could SSH into the machine, and use Fdisk to format the drives.
[23:13] <macuser_> KM0201, If I can delete the user's data off of both drives, I can take the machine to a school that uses Linux, and it will be used by kids
[23:14] <KM0201> Bizzeh: lol, ok.. use that "simplified process"..lol
[23:14] <urlin2u> Bizzeh, wubi is meant for just trying out Ubuntu, it has its limitations
[23:14] <KM0201> Bizzeh: just make sure you have a thorough backup before doing so.
[23:14] <KM0201> macuser_: ok, now i understand the problem.
[23:14] <macuser_> KM0201, I can't boot into a live CD, because I can't see the setup screen.
[23:15] <ramon> how do i get bash to play a sound every time i enter a command?
[23:15] <KM0201> ok.
[23:15] <KM0201> macuser_: you say you're on a laptop now?
[23:15] <macuser_> KM0201, yes, I am on a notebook Mac that is ssh'd into the target machine
[23:16] <KM0201> macuser_: ok.. just out of curiosity.. hav eyou verified that it's the video card that is bad, and not th edisplay?... in otherwords, shut down your mac and the PC, use the display cable that goes from the PC/Display, and connect it to your Mac (so the display cable will go from the PC, to your mac)... if the display is bad, you should see the display on your mac w/ no problem.
[23:17] <macuser_> KM0201, I am also on the target machine, and I can see the terminal, but that is all.  I can kind of sort of see the Ubuntu display, but only general stuff, like I can click on Firefox, and I can go to google, but I can't read what I google
[23:18] <macuser_> KM0201, This Mac notebook has no VGA jack to connect to the display.
[23:18] <KM0201> what?...
[23:18] <KM0201> you don't connect your mac to the display
[23:18] <KM0201> you connec tthe PC to your mac... turn the PC on, and it will use your mac as a display (even my cheap acer laptop that is 8yrs old has this capability)
[23:19] <jcmarini> gday yall
[23:19] <KM0201> macuser_: look at your mac closely, you should have a "VGA IN" port somewhere on there
[23:19] <pythonsnake> how to log out from terminal ??
[23:19] <petester> i'm considering buying a thinkpad, anybody have any issues loading up ubuntu onto one of those?
[23:19] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, exit
[23:20] <devish> !time
[23:20] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: it exits terminal...........
[23:20] <pythonsnake> how to move mouse with keyboard ?
[23:20] <macuser_> KM0201, The owner tells me that he has tested the PC's monitor on the notebook that I am typing on, and the monitor tested out perfectly.
[23:20] <jcmarini> is there apps to reconfigure check dvd detection..mine does not detect new blank dvd inserted
[23:20] <KM0201> ok
[23:21] <macuser_> KM0201, In other words, the owner has confirmed that it is not a problem with the monitor.
[23:21] <pythonsnake> how to move mouse with keyboard ? ??
[23:21] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, you mean logout of a root terminal, or when you run something that has no complete, such as?
[23:21] <KM0201> macuser_: right, i follow.
[23:21] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: log out from unity
[23:22] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, not sure the web will tell you if needed.
[23:22] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: I disabled touchpad by accident
[23:22] <pythonsnake> i'm stuck
[23:23] <ddelrio1986> How do I add a user to a group?
[23:23] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, you can do a soft reboot crtl-alt-prtsc REISUB slowly or REISUO for off.
[23:23] <th0r> pythonsnake: try 'synclient TouchpadOff=0'
[23:24] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> ddelrio1986: Go to system/System Administration or preferences -> You'll then see soemthing about Users And Groups.
[23:24] <jcmarini> pythonsnake; go to control panel scrool to keyboard prefs
[23:24] <pythonsnake> th0r: doesn't work
[23:25] <ex0> useradd (username) -g (groupname)
[23:25] <th0r> pythonsnake: was worth a shot...trying to avoid extremes like logging out or rebooting <smile>
[23:26] <ddelrio1986> I have a folder in my home directory that I want the user www-data to be able to write to. Should I change the group of the folder to www-data or should I just add the www-data user to the group for my account (daniel)?
[23:26] <ex0> add user to group
[23:26] <ddelrio1986> ex0,  Thanks!
[23:26] <ex0> np
[23:27] <Flannel> ddelrio1986: No, don't do that.
[23:27] <ddelrio1986> Flannel, why?
[23:27] <Flannel> ddelrio1986: because it's incorrect :)
[23:27] <jcmarini>  my dvd burner shows up on disk utility as having unknown media of 1.1 gig but it is physically empty help please
[23:27] <mnemonic76> I am using the command find /source_directory/ -name "*.wav" -exec cp  -ri {} /media/raid0/WAV/ \; to copy recursively all the wav files found, it works but does not recreate the directory structure. how can i do this?
[23:28] <ddelrio1986> Flannel, so I shouldn't add the www-data user to the daniel group?
[23:28] <Flannel> ddelrio1986, ex0: you either want useradd -G group -a user, or (the easier and less error prone): adduser user group
[23:28] <ex0> yes he would get the point, i forgot the -a
[23:28] <Flannel> ex0: and -g vs -G
[23:29] <ddelrio1986> So adduser instead of useradd?
[23:29] <Flannel> which is why I suggest you use adduser instead of useradd, it's obviously easier to remember and not get wrong :)
[23:29] <Flannel> ddelrio1986: yeah, adduser username groupname
[23:29] <ex0> yes
[23:29] <urlin2u> jcmarini, I would not worry about that so does mine
[23:29] <macuser_> KM0201, I am going to be leaving soon, I think, unless you have anything else to suggest.  You have been very helpful, thanks!
[23:29] <ddelrio1986> Thanks guys!
[23:29] <mingdao_> Can someone tell me how to get the Gnome 3 desktop environment?
[23:29] <ex0> thougth thats what i said, my fault
[23:29] <macuser_> Ubuntusawr[xD], I also want to thank you for your help.
[23:30] <KM0201> macuser_: well, if you could somehow get the live CD to boot, you could install ssh, then ssh into the machine, and fdisk the drives.
[23:30] <urlin2u> mingdao_,what release are you running?
[23:30] <jcmarini> ok seeya
[23:30] <pythonsnake> I Have disabled touchpad with tpuchpad indicator
[23:30] <mingdao_> 11.04 amd64
[23:30] <pythonsnake> how to reverse ???????????????????????????????
[23:30] <mingdao_> urlin2u: 11.04
[23:30] <urlin2u> mingdao_, is not advised in 11.04, onerirc has it in its repos
[23:30] <ramsrambo> My frontech webcam model : e-cam JIL 2214 is not working on 10.10 any help?
[23:31] <macuser_> KM0201, I can ssh into the machine.  how do I fdisk the drives?
[23:31] <mingdao_> urlin2u: is onerirc another release of Ubuntu?
[23:31] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mingdao_: You're welcome.
[23:31] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> macuser_: *
[23:31] <urlin2u> mingdao_, yeah in development next release.
[23:31] <KM0201> macuser_: i know you're SSH'd in on an install though, in order for you to format a drive w/ fdisk, the drive cannot be mounted/in use
[23:31] <pythonsnake> mingdao_: you're vn ?
[23:31] <bug2000> Any clues why would one get slow usb memstick transfers?
[23:31] <mingdao_> pythonsnake: what is vn?
[23:32] <pythonsnake> mingdao_: nevermind
[23:32] <pythonsnake> mingdao_: chao ?
[23:32] <mingdao_> pythonsnake: Vietnamese? No, I used to live in China. My Chinese name is mingdao
[23:32] <ramsrambo>  My frontech webcam model : e-cam JIL 2214 is not working on 10.10 any help?
[23:32] <urlin2u> mingdao_, here is the release you could dual boot t if you wanted to. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule
[23:32] <urlin2u> it*
[23:32] <pythonsnake> mingdao_: nihao :)
[23:32] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mingdao_: Cool name.
[23:32] <macuser_> KM0201, thx for the suggetions.  I can't see the setup screen, so I can't run a live CD, because I can't set the machine to boot from the CD
[23:32] <pythonsnake> Ubuntusawr[xD]: stop saying "cool name" to everyone xD
[23:33] <KM0201> macuser_: yeah, i understand the dilemma
[23:33] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> pythonsnake: Lol, it's only been my second time today.
[23:33] <mingdao_> urlin2u: thanks ... Gnome 3 is not stable yet, anyway
[23:34] <pythonsnake> How to enable touchpad ?
[23:35] <ramsrambo> pythonsnake : version?
[23:36] <pythonsnake> ramsrambo: nevermind.
[23:37] <mingdao_> urlin2u: How stable is Oneiric?
[23:37] <KM0201> macuser_: i just can't come up w/ anyway to do this, when you can't see anything on the screen
[23:38] <urlin2u> mingdao_, I would not not use it as a regular system is the general idea with a development.
[23:38] <mingdao_> urlin2u: I've been using *nix since '03 ... presently running Gentoo and Slackware on laptops, desktops, workstations, and servers.
[23:38] <urlin2u> mingdao_, you might have no problems I haven't.
[23:39] <pythonsnake> !ubuntu+1 | mingdao_
[23:39] <urlin2u> any you can't fix anyway.  mingdao_  ;D
[23:39] <Bizzeh> when is the next LTS due?
[23:39] <mingdao_> urlin2u: A buddy who used to be a Slacker but now runs Ubuntu told me months ago "you can get Gnome 3 for 11.04."
[23:39] <LukaszTarkowski> The hdd I am having trouble is an Seagate hybrid part ssd scsi hdd
[23:39] <LukaszTarkowski> Ubuntu won't detect it
[23:39] <mingdao_> urlin2u: It was my first install and I didn't want to mess with it.
[23:40] <urlin2u> Bizzeh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule
[23:40] <pythonsnake> !details | LukaszTarkowski
[23:40] <mingdao_> urlin2u: Now we have Ubuntu (from that install in June) on my wife's PC, and then last night I installed it on this new ThinkPad T420.
[23:40] <LukaszTarkowski> pythonsnake, I installed Ubuntu on the other external disk worked fine but it won't work on my Seagate Momentus internal hdd
[23:40] <mingdao_> ubottu: thanks ... I'll /j #ubuntu+1 also
[23:40] <Bizzeh> urlin2u: that just tells me when the next release is, not the next LTS
[23:41] <ubun> hello. im not like the ubuntu 11.04 gui. where do i chang the preferences for that.
[23:41] <urlin2u> Bizzeh, that is the next LTS
[23:41] <pythonsnake> urlin2u: login screen
[23:41] <mingdao_> should have noticed the bot ... probably more intelligent than me
[23:41] <pythonsnake> err
[23:41] <ddelrio1986> I've added www-data to the daniel group but when I run mkdir in a PHP script I still get a permission denied problem. I've already ensured that the group was write permissions on the folder that I'm trying to mkdir in.
[23:41] <pythonsnake> ubun: login screen
[23:41] <urlin2u> pythonsnake, ?
[23:41] <pythonsnake> !gnome2 | underdog`
[23:41] <ddelrio1986> s/was/has
[23:41] <pythonsnake> !gnome 2 | ubun
[23:42] <pythonsnake> !classical | ubun
[23:42] <Bizzeh> urlin2u: no it isnt, 12.04 is according to the website
[23:42] <pythonsnake> ...
[23:42] <ubun> pythonsnake: ...login screen. so  then i have to logout... ...oh
[23:42] <rww> Bizzeh: Ubuntu version numbers are year.month. 12.04 => 2012-04 => April, 2012
[23:42] <rww> urlin2u: oneiric is not going to be LTS.
[23:42] <urlin2u> Bizzeh, yourv write so the releases go in 6 month intervals so 6 months past oneiric.
[23:42] <urlin2u> you're*
[23:43] <ramsrambo> pythonsnake :  My frontech webcam model : e-cam JIL 2214 is not working on 10.10 any help?
[23:43] <Bizzeh> rww: im well aware of the dated releases, i dont know why anything needed to be said since what i said had nothing to do with that
[23:43] <Cam> ramsrambo: if nobody answers.stop re-asking the question.
[23:44] <urlin2u> Bizzeh, heavan forbid you get help or at least tries to on the IRC. :D
[23:44] <Bizzeh> urlin2u: rww wasnt helping, just diluting the help with nonsensical information
[23:45] <LukaszTarkowski_> I am gonna try something brb
[23:45] <urlin2u> Bizzeh, hey that's their job, chill out.
[23:46] <pythonsnake> Cam?
[23:46] <hikenboot> anyone know how to rsync in such a way that it copies all files to a directory and subdirectories overwriting all files in destination?
[23:46] <rww> Bizzeh: You asked when the next LTS is. You said that the website says the next LTS is 12.04. I am not sure why you needed the question answering if you know 12.04 means Aptil 2012.
[23:46] <rww> April **
[23:46] <rww> Bizzeh: Either way, please be a bit more civil :)
[23:48] <mingdao_> hikenboot: you want to overwrite files with the same name?
[23:49] <ddelrio1986> Is this how you remove a user from a group?: deluser <user> <group>
[23:49] <hikenboot> mingdao_:  yes
[23:49] <mingdao_> hikenboot: "rsync -av /source/directory/ /destination/directory/" should do that
[23:49] <qin> ddelrio1986: Yes
[23:49] <hikenboot> thanks
[23:49] <urlin2u> mingdao_, there is a ppa for gnome 3 if your game to do it in natty.
[23:50] <hikenboot> what about subdirectories too? -R ?
[23:50] <hikenboot> sorry -r
[23:50] <mingdao_> hikenboot: that should take care of it
[23:50] <hikenboot> thanks
[23:50] <mingdao_> hikenboot: if you have the same ../directory-name/ on both source and desitnation
[23:51] <linty> Can I manage RackSpace Cloud instances/servers with Landscape?
[23:51] <robot-army> I am having trouble getting Transmission to start via Start-Up programs. (Natty) It gives me a message relating to "Transmission is already running".  I can see that transmission-gtk is in fact an open process, but hung.  If I force close it and open Transmission from the program menu, it works.  Any ideas?
[23:51] <mingdao_> hikenboot: there is r (recurse into directories) but I don't think you need it
[23:52] <ubun> ubuntu 11 uses unix???
[23:52] <mingdao_> ubun: no
[23:52] <ubun> oh:
[23:52] <ubun> mingdao: oh
[23:52] <qin> ubun: Lunix (Ubuntu) is GNU
[23:52] <mingdao_> ubun: it's a bit complicated, but you should Google UNIX and it's a bit of a read
[23:52] <Bizzeh> ubun: linux based os's are all based on the unix style (POSIX)
[23:53] <Bizzeh> but they arnt unix its self
[23:53] <ubun> what is the default gui? gnome?
[23:54] <Bizzeh> ubuntu's default is gnone, linux its self doesnt have a gui at all, as linux is the kernel and driver model, not the operating system
[23:54] <LukaszTarkowski_> dunno why the hdd isn't detecting Ubuntu
[23:55] <mingdao_> sorry quit message
[23:55] <ubun> Bizzeh: looks like i just opened pandoras box
[23:55] <linuxman410> how long is 10.04 going to be supported for
[23:55] <Bizzeh> ubun: no, not really
[23:55] <mingdao_> ubun: No, you should read. It's interesting to see how this "Linux" came about.
[23:55] <ubun> linuxman410: i think 2012
[23:55] <ddelrio1986> I finally fixed my problem but I'm wondering why it worked. Maybe someone here can enlighten me. After adding www-data to the daniel group and allowing write permissions to the group on a file in my home directory I then had to RESTART apache for it to be able to write. Anyone know why the restart was needed?
[23:55] <mingdao_> ubun: and Google for Eric S. Raymond and read some of his stuff
[23:56] <Bizzeh> Linux came about because some college student was bored and had nothing else better to do... same reason most software is born
[23:56] <xangua> !ot
[23:56] <hikenboot> thanks mingdao_
[23:57] <ubun> mingdao: wow cerebral palsy... i think i may actually finish reading this
[23:58] <urlin2u> linux4u, 3 years desktop 5 years server from release time
[23:58] <qin> robot-army: You would want to start deamon not interface on autostart. And check what user is running deamon.
[23:59] <Bizzeh> my current server is on 08.04 and is on its last legs
[23:59] <Bizzeh> considering buying a blank 10.04 server and configuring it myself this time
