[00:00] <c03> hiya
[00:00] <c03> can someone help me set up my glx on my intel card?
[00:00] <c03> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[00:01] <c03> when i try to run glxgears
[00:04] <sdcnlab> uggh
[00:04] <sdcnlab> can someone please help me with these dependency errors im havign with opencv
[00:04] <sdcnlab> and libcv-dev
[00:04] <sdcnlab> libopencv
[00:05] <jen__> can anyone help me with mypaint?
[00:05] <escott_> c03, !paste the output of glxinfo
[00:06] <jen__> I still cant get it to work :(
[00:06] <c03> !paste
[00:06] <mephist0> jen__: mypaint? never heard about. have you tryed gimp?
[00:06] <c03> http://paste.ubuntu.com/699407/
[00:06] <jen__> yes I've tried gimp, I like mypaint better
[00:07] <mephist0> jen__: is it vectorial?
[00:07] <escott_> c03, what kind of video card is this?
[00:07] <jen__> mephist0, whats that mean?
[00:07] <c03> intel / nvidia gtm520m
[00:08] <c03> it's an asus u36sd
[00:08] <escott_> c03, so if this has switchable graphics you probably want to set it to a single type or look into vgaswitcheroo (or is it bumblebee)
[00:08] <mephist0> vectorial means based on math equations. Gimp works on pixels. more artistic.
[00:09] <c03> yea, I tried disabling the nvidia chip with ironhide
[00:09] <jen__> mephist0,  no I dont think so, its paint brushes and colors, oh and layers thats just about it. But Im so used to doing all my art with it I dont wanna lose it
[00:09] <kermit1> how can i make ubuntu boot by itself?  every time i need to go hook up a keyboard to press enter at grub, and press "S" if it ever cant find a drive in fstab.
[00:10] <mephist0> jen__: whats the problem?
[00:11] <escott_> c03, and if you are using the nvidia card use jockey-gtk to install drivers
[00:11] <jen__> mephist0,  i click on the icon and it never starts up, there's no errors in the terminal I dont think
[00:11] <zoned> just installed phpmyadmin ... what is the default username/pass?
[00:12] <laanan> anyone who uses BasKet ever have it crash after dropping an image into a note? Now it just crashes at startup...
[00:12] <lgagaz> is there a command like shred but that can do directories too?
[00:12] <mephist0> jen__: when you execute it on terminal gets frezed?
[00:12] <jen__> I dont know, how do you do that?
[00:12] <escott_> lgagaz, no. they aren't regular files, but you can shred the files in the directory
[00:13] <escott_> lgagaz, or you shred the entire partition
[00:13] <mephist0> jen__: open a terminal go to applications->accesories->terminal. Then execute mypaint
[00:14] <jen__> mephist0,  just type it in?
[00:14] <mephist0> yes. then see what is says?
[00:14] <c03> escott_: I disabled the nvidia card successfully now
[00:14] <c03> but I still can't start glxgears
[00:14] <c03> and glxinfo is the same
[00:15] <escott_> c03, if you want to use the intel drivers you'll need to make sure the entire intel stack is installed including mesa
[00:15] <c03> how do I do this?
[00:16] <escott_> c03, make sure the nvidia drivers are uninstalled
[00:17] <c03> how?
[00:17] <c03> apt-get purge nvidia?
[00:17] <squishy> http://pastebin.com/97QuEP2R
[00:17] <squishy> here's what it says
[00:18] <escott_> c03, use jockey-gtk to remove them or synaptic. i dont know the package name
[00:18] <Guest66823> :)
[00:18] <c03> the driver is not activated
[00:19] <lgagaz> escott but i wanna shred a bunch of files in many subdirs too which is why i asked if theres one that works like shred but does directories ;d
[00:19] <squeeeshie> im the same one with the mypaint
[00:20] <squeeeshie> problem*
[00:20] <escott_> lgagaz, find -exec them
[00:21] <squeeeshie> wha?
[00:23] <jen__> can anyone help me?
[00:23] <c03> escott_: The nvidia drivers are not active, the chip is disabled
[00:24] <c03> escott_: How should I proceed?
[00:24] <mephist0> jen__: https://encrypted.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=mypaint%2BIndexError%253A%2Blist%2Bindex%2Bout%2Bof%2Brange&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&client=ubuntu&hs=FXm&channel=fs&biw=1600&bih=759&source=hp&q=mypaint+IndexError:+list+index+out+of+range&pbx=1&oq=mypaint+IndexError:+list+index+out+of+range&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=33629l34041l0l34980l2l2l0l0l0l0l536l746l2-1.5-1l2l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=b3c88bd7

[00:24] <sdcnlab> hi guys i just fixed my depdency issue with --force-overwrite in dpkg
[00:24] <sdcnlab> but should i report this or somethign?
[00:24] <sdcnlab> its taken me like hours to get it working
[00:25] <jefimenko> is there a problem with apt pinning packages with names formatting in certain way? i'm having trouble pinning libsqlite3-0
[00:25] <jefimenko> apt-cache policy shows that it's not found (even though it IS there, i can apt-get install it)
[00:25] <jefimenko> my preferences file looks like http://pastebin.com/3BPYKH4j
[00:25] <kermit> how do i make grub not require me to hit enter at boot?
[00:25] <mephist0> jen__: cant help you with that. some people talk about some mypaint bug at certain version. you probably have to downgrade
[00:25] <jefimenko> this is what "apt-cache policy" shows http://pastebin.com/C0t6kX70
[00:26] <dr_willis> kermit:  it has an auto.timeout option
[00:26] <jen__> the strange thing is...it will open on my moms account on my computer
[00:26] <dr_willis> check the grub configs
[00:26] <sniperjo_> if i connected to my board with serial, it would say last login from …. would it sound weird to have ttyS2 instead of tty02 ?
[00:27] <longtheta> Hi, is there an alternative interface to the man pages other than the `man` command in terminal?
[00:28] <longtheta> Like, is there a way to view the /usr/docs/ in the browser or something?
[00:29] <jen__> nevermind, I will just make another account for that soley
[00:29] <jen__> but thanks for the help :)
[00:30] <dr_willis> longtheta:  ther is some tool. or jout point thebrowser there
[00:30] <kermit> dr_willis: where do i set that?
[00:30] <longtheta> btw dr_willis, where are the docs? i'm trying to find them right now
[00:30] <longtheta> i vaguely remember they were at /usr/.../docs
[00:30] <jcgs> Hi dies anyone know why ubuntu's thunderbird is still at version 3.1 when the current stable is version 7? how did we get so behind?
[00:30] <longtheta> not sure the exact path though
[00:31] <jcgs> longtheta: have you tried xman? that's pretty basic, and might take some getting used to...
[00:31] <dr_willis> !grub2| kermit
[00:31] <WakiMiko_> halp
[00:31] <WakiMiko_> hal
[00:31] <WakiMiko_> p
[00:32] <longtheta> jcgs: well, it's better than just man, but it's still fugly :(
[00:32] <longtheta> man at least looks better in a way
[00:32] <dr_willis> longtheta:  usr share docs
[00:32] <WakiMiko_> is this the place where i whine about weird as shit behaviour
[00:32] <jcgs> longtheta, what's so wrong with less anyway?
[00:32] <dr_willis> WakiMiko_: not really
[00:32] <kermit> dr_willis: thank you
[00:33] <WakiMiko_> there is nothing wrong with less
[00:33] <WakiMiko_> its pretty much vi
[00:33] <jcgs> longtheta: i reckon it's much faster than anything else?
[00:33] <WakiMiko_> with less featues
[00:33] <WakiMiko_> r
[00:33] <longtheta> i'm not talking about speed jcgs, that's not the bottleneck
[00:33] <jefimenko> any ideas on pinning?
[00:33] <longtheta> it's just man pages are so long and obtuse
[00:33] <jefimenko> i asked in debian and they directed me here
[00:33] <WakiMiko_> dr_willis: i got a problem though
[00:33] <longtheta> i wish there was a browser like-way to read them, or pdf
[00:33] <jefimenko> even though i think it *might* be an underling issue with the apt tools
[00:33] <jcgs> WakiMiko: there are things wrong with less, like the fact that the first time you use it, you spend about 10 mins wondering why it doesn't quit when you press ctrl+c
[00:34] <WakiMiko_> jcgs: q
[00:34] <jcgs> longtheta: why?
[00:34] <WakiMiko_> anywayyyyyyyyyyyy
[00:34] <DasEi> jcgs: http://tinyurl.com/6eubz4k
[00:34] <longtheta> i'd like to actually read them without frustration, like normal texts on my computer jcgs
[00:35] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: I know fine know, I just have a memory
[00:35] <longtheta> most early unix cmds quit with q as well, if interactive mode
[00:35] <WakiMiko_> ok guys i really got a problem
[00:35] <WakiMiko_> the problem is im drunk
[00:35] <WakiMiko_> so im not completely sure what happened
[00:36] <WakiMiko_> fact is, bevore i was drunk i installed apting throught apt
[00:36] <jcgs> DasEi: is there one for stable builds? is daily different from nightly?
[00:36] <WakiMiko_> accordring to the logs apt or whatever UNINSTALLED gnome network manager at the same time
[00:36] <WakiMiko_> for no reason whatsoever
[00:36] <WakiMiko_> now what
[00:37] <DasEi> jcgs: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[00:37] <DasEi> jcgs: there are one for stable and betas
[00:37] <longtheta> oh sweet: http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/pretty-print_manual_pages_as_ps_pdf_or_html
[00:37] <DasEi> ones*
[00:37] <dr_willis> configure network by hand and reinstall what you need
[00:38] <SIFTU> longtheta: did you try http://tips4linux.com/easily-read-man-pages-in-firefox/
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> dr_willis: well i already did that otherwise i woudlnt be talking to yA
[00:38] <alkafoo> longtheta: ew
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> u know im a unix expert
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> im just trying to find out what happened
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> im on thinkpad t420
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> i installed arping
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> suspeneded
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> and left da house
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> then i came back
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> drunk
[00:38] <longtheta> SIFTU: no, that looks like the easiest way, thanks!
[00:38] <WakiMiko_> and no network
[00:39] <FloodBot1> WakiMiko_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:39] <WakiMiko_> u know my current state is making things more difficult
[00:39] <alkafoo> SIFTU: SIFT you!
[00:40] <jcgs> DasEi: all it says is "mozilla daily build team". Is daily the same as nightly, because that's just  too bleeding edge for me, I could probably cope with betas, but I'd prefer just a normall stable version of thunderbird 7, like the one for liunx x86 that seems to be on their website
[00:40] <escott_> c03, im not entirely sure. i know you need mesa gem and then intel drivers
[00:40] <DasEi> jcgs: same yes
[00:40] <SIFTU> alkafoo: ?
[00:40] <ionite> hi everyone.
[00:40] <alkafoo> weird, you got it last time
[00:40] <alkafoo> ionite: hi
[00:40] <jcgs> DasEi daily = bad :( stable = good
[00:41] <ionite> i'm having problems at Step 5. Can anyone help me? http://www.linwik.com/wiki/using+the+realtek+8172+and+8192se+wireless+controller+with+ubuntu+9.10
[00:41] <SIFTU> alkafoo: :)
[00:41] <alkafoo> ionite: what problems
[00:41] <escott_> c03, try installing xserver-xorg-video-intel
[00:41] <cornell> Anybody here use Pulseaudio?
[00:41] <ionite> alkafoo: realteck driver compatibility for ubuntu.
[00:41] <c03> okay
[00:41] <ionite> alkafoo: anyway, what do they mean /path/to at step 5?
[00:42] <c03> escott_: already newest
[00:42] <WakiMiko_> you guys are no real help
[00:42] <jcgs> cornell: probably everybody...
[00:43] <WakiMiko_> though i probably cant blame you for that
[00:43] <WakiMiko_> i will report back when im sober
[00:43] <escott_> c03, what does your xorg.0.log say when it tries to load the intel drivers
[00:43] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: good luck anyway :)
[00:43] <DasEi> jcgs: I'm bretty sure there is a repo somewhere, as there is http://tinyurl.com/6k92a6z, but I'd have to look myself, I use betas in jails, so not my problem
[00:43] <ionite> hi. can anyone help me with my problem? it's a wireless problem.
[00:44] <ionite> How do i perform step 5?                    http://www.linwik.com/wiki/using+the+realtek+8172+and+8192se+wireless+controller+with+ubuntu+9.10
[00:44] <cornell> thx jcgs.  Do y'all know about any documentation "for dummies".  I've checked some things I've found with google, and I'm not catching the basics....
[00:44] <SIFTU> c03: what kernel version are you running?
[00:44] <tonyyarusso> ionite: Which part of that step is confusing to you?
[00:44] <WakiMiko_> is there a command to report exactly what packages where installed at what time?
[00:45] <c03> Linux u36 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[00:45] <ionite> tonyyarusso: step 5. what does it mean to replace with /path/to ?
[00:45] <cornell> Does every machine on the LAN run a server?  Any given server is a sender or receiver?
[00:45] <kermit> whats the (S) mean in /proc/mdstat ?
[00:45] <ionite> tonyyarusso: my downloaded file is at /Downloads
[00:45] <escott_> kermit, synced?
[00:45] <SIFTU> c03: ok thats supported.. and your "lspci|grep VGA" for the intel card
[00:45] <alkafoo> ionite: it means cd to the dir the tarball is in
[00:45] <mephist0> hi there.  someone know how to use keyboard as mouse? tryed <shift><cntrl><num lock> and no luck. Im looking for some generic linux solution. Is there config files?
[00:45] <tonyyarusso> ionite: It means that if you saved the file to ~/Downloads, the command would be sudo tar zxvf ~/Documents/rtl8192se.......
[00:46] <alkafoo> ionite: then run sudo tar xzvf whatever.tar.gz
[00:46] <DasEi> ionite: cd to the location you d/l'ed the tarball to, then untar it
[00:46] <tonyyarusso> ionite: In other words, the filesystem path to the tarball.
[00:46] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: aptitude search * |grep ^i
[00:46] <tonyyarusso> ionite: (Side note - /Documents doesn't exist - ~/Documents, aka /home/ionite/Documents does.)
[00:46] <ionite> DasEi: tonyyarusso alkafoo so what do i type exactly? i'm sorry i'm such a noob to terminal
[00:46] <alkafoo> ionite: so if it was in ~/Downloads/, you could've run sudo tar xzvf /home/foo/Downloads/foo.tar.gz
[00:46] <DasEi> ionite: or better make an extra dir like sudo mkdir rtl, then move it there, then unpack
[00:47] <tonyyarusso> ionite: You just replace the /path/to/ part with the path to the directory you saved it to.
[00:47] <acuster> s
[00:47] <WakiMiko_> unfortunately i dont have aptitude installed
[00:47] <c03> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[00:47] <jcgs> cornell, I'm probably in the same position, pulseaudio is very complicated from what i gather, and was partially invented to alleviate problems caused by a mess of sound servers in linux. do you want to do anything specific?
[00:47] <c03> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1050 (rev ff)
[00:47] <SIFTU> c03: also you dont have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf do you
[00:47] <c03> SIFTU:
[00:48] <SIFTU> c03: yep same as mine
[00:48] <SIFTU> c03: well the intel part
[00:48] <c03> nope, no xorg.conf
[00:48] <c03> I'm fairly sure the nvidia is disabled though
[00:48] <ionite> tonyyarusso:  how do i identify my path? it's in downlaods. so is it              sudo tar xzvf /home/ionite/Downloads/8192ar.gz
[00:48] <WakiMiko_> i dare anyone here to install arping
[00:48] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: shame, i think it's great.. I'll see what I can turn up with apt-get
[00:48] <SIFTU> c03: can you pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:48] <longtheta> Is there a way to view the memory stats as a gnome applet in the gnome panel?
[00:48] <longtheta> That would be Really Nice
[00:49] <longtheta> like a way to run a terminal cmd to it even
[00:49] <longtheta> cat /proc/mem/ | grep -i "whatever'
[00:49] <tonyyarusso> ionite: That looks correct, yes.  You can confirm that by changing to that directory, doing a list, and seeing if it's there - `cd /home/ionite/Downloads && ls`
[00:49] <c03> SIFTU: http://paste.ubuntu.com/699425/
[00:49] <cornell> Yeah, jcgs... I run a ubuntu box as my main workstation, and sometimes my personal laptop running internet radio, and sometimes my company laptop.  I listen to one with headphones.  So, I miss warning beeps, alarms whatever.  I want all the machine's sounds to go to one machine, and I listen to that one.
[00:49] <alkafoo> ionite: wget 'ftp://WebUser:fh7SkVT4@209.222.7.36/cn/wlan/92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0003.0620.2011.tar.gz' && sudo tar xzvf 92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0003.0620.2011.tar.gz
[00:49] <WakiMiko_> jcgs: i really think something strange happened
[00:49] <DasEi> longtheta: conky and htop ?
[00:50] <tonyyarusso> longtheta: "Classic" (Gnome 2) interfaces have a system monitor applet.  No idea for Unity or Gnome 3.
[00:50] <longtheta> i'm on 10.04 so still 'classic' tonyyarusso
[00:50] <longtheta> sys monitor is hardly useful though
[00:50] <longtheta> it's just a bunch of colors moving with too little space to gauge to be useful
[00:50] <ionite> tonyyarusso: but i got this error root@nx116:/usr/src# sudo tar xzvf /home/David/Downloads/8192.tar.gz tar: /home/David/Downloads/8192.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors root@nx116:/usr/src#
[00:51] <tonyyarusso> longtheta: What are you hoping it will look like?  Conky perhaps?
[00:51] <c03> Should I restart X when I disabled my nvidia chip? Would it make any difference?
[00:51] <longtheta> just numbers, % of ram usage
[00:51] <WakiMiko_> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6457172/arp.png all i did was "apt-get install arping"
[00:51] <WakiMiko_> it seems to uinstall all the gnome network stuff
[00:51] <longtheta> don't want to use conky, just want gnomeapplet
[00:51] <tonyyarusso> ionite: is 8192.tar.gz the file name?  You could use 'locate' if you're not sure where you put it.
[00:51] <WakiMiko_> note: i didnt use the ubuntu software center
[00:52] <ionite> tonyyarusso: yes it is. i changed the file name to 8192 for easier and shorter typing time.
[00:52] <longtheta> ynkow
[00:52] <longtheta> sysmonitor applet is actually pretty useful
[00:52] <longtheta> didn't know you can have separate graph for mem usage and have hoverover for % stats and stuff
[00:52] <tonyyarusso> ionite: Use ls to confirm that it's where you think it should be I guess.
[00:52] <longtheta> much better
[00:52] <longtheta> thanks
[00:52] <c03> SIFTU: get anything out of it?
[00:53] <SIFTU> c03: how did you disable? blacklist the nouveau module?
[00:53] <escott_> c03, you should restart the computer after disabling xorg, and remove/rename your /etc/X11/xorg.config
[00:53] <c03> okay
[00:53] <SIFTU> c03: only that one error.. and I'm not sure why it refers to Nvidia as there is no nvidia module being loaded
[00:53] <escott_> c03, and when we say disable nvidia we mean disable it in the bios
[00:54] <SIFTU> escott_: you cant on most
[00:54] <lgagaz> whats the best FS to use for purely storage, i guess for speed/stability?
[00:54] <c03> yeah, i'm dual booting to windows, so that's not gonna happen ^^
[00:54] <c03> I disabled it with Ironhide
[00:54] <c03> it's a continuation of bumblebee
[00:54] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: dpkg-query -l |grep^.i
[00:55] <WakiMiko_> i think the problem is that arping conflicts with some iputils programs
[00:55] <c03> trying the reboot
[00:55] <ionite> tonyyarusso: why doesn't locate identify 8192.tar.gz ?             david@nx116:~$ locate 8192.tar.gz /home/david/Downloads/realtek8192.tar.gz david@nx116:~$ ls Desktop  Documents  Downloads  examples.desktop  Linux  Music  PDF  Pictures  Public  Templates  Ubuntu One  Videos  WT 2010 david@nx116:~$ cd Downloads david@nx116:~/Downloads$ ls 19_Ps_CHM-CHS_143.mp3  19_Ps_CHM-CHS_145.mp3  19_Ps_CHM-CHS_147.mp3  19_Ps_CHM-CHS_149.mp3  8192
[00:55] <jcgs> sorry there should be a space after the grep
[00:55] <SIFTU> c03: yeah ubuntus bumblebee.. depending on what you are doing the intel card is just fine especiailly with kernel 3.0+
[00:55] <WakiMiko_> and it uninstalled half of my gnome network stuff
[00:55] <tonyyarusso> lgagaz: With the advent of ext4, I've seen very little reason to bother with any of the other filesystems unless you have a very specific purpose.
[00:55] <c03> brb
[00:55] <ionite> tonyyarusso: realtek8192 is the old file. i wanna use the new file which is 8192.tar.gz
[00:56] <tonyyarusso> ionite: Probably because you haven't run 'updatedb' since creating 8192.tar.gz (locate uses a database, not a live search)
[00:56] <c03> back
[00:56] <c03> still no glxgears
[00:57] <c03> and glxinfo is the same
[00:57] <tonyyarusso> ionite: additionally note - file names are always case-sensitive.  /home/david is not the same as /home/David
[00:57] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: indeed, aptitude tells me that arping conflicts with iputils-ping and iputils-arping
[00:57] <WakiMiko_> damnit i think i just hit "y"
[00:57] <ionite> tonyyarusso: so how do i update DB?
[00:58] <WakiMiko_> now i think apt uninstalled everything that depends on iputils-ping and iputils-arping
[00:58] <escott> ionite, sudo updatedb
[00:58] <WakiMiko_> which includes the gome network manager
[00:58] <SIFTU> c03: not sure I dont run ironhide.. blacklisting works for me
[00:58] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: and network-manager depends on iputils-arping therin lies your problem, I think
[00:58] <WakiMiko_> now how do i get that stuff back
[00:58] <tonyyarusso> ionite: `sudo updatedb` will run it manually.  Otherwise cron normally runs it automaticall, by default once per day iirc.
[00:58] <ionite> tonyyarusso: oic. hang on while i try it out ok?
[00:58] <WakiMiko_> i have no idea what else it removed
[00:58] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: are you using wired?
[00:58] <WakiMiko_> no
[00:59] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: can you? do you have another option?
[00:59] <WakiMiko_> im using pretty much a default 11.04 install
[00:59] <WakiMiko_> im sure i can get wireless back
[00:59] <c03> SIFTU: how did you blacklist?
[00:59] <WakiMiko_> but i would like to revert my installition to the state b4 apt removed the conficts
[00:59] <c03> I think I did it, but I don't know if it worked
[00:59] <c03> well obviously it didn't somehow ^^
[01:00] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: is the problem that you can't install anything because you don't have a network connection
[01:00] <WakiMiko_> no
[01:00] <SIFTU> c03:
[01:00] <jcgs> no?
[01:00] <SIFTU> sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[01:00] <WakiMiko_> i got my eth0 connection back up
[01:00] <WakiMiko_> im using it atm
[01:00] <WakiMiko_> but i want to restore my ubuntu distro to the state before apt removed essential programs
[01:01] <jcgs> kk, then sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[01:01] <c03> SIFTU: and in goes?
[01:01] <jcgs> if you use gnome that is...
[01:01] <SIFTU> c03: blacklist nouveau
[01:01] <SIFTU> c03: blacklist nvidia
[01:01] <WakiMiko_> doing this jcgs
[01:02] <c03> roger, done
[01:02] <max_> hello
[01:02] <WakiMiko_> restarting x11
[01:02] <c03> and then reboot??
[01:02] <ionite> tonyyarusso: now i'm stuck at step 7                 sudo cp -rf firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware
[01:02] <WakiMiko_> just to test this
[01:02] <SIFTU> c03: you dont have the nvidia driver installed do you?
[01:02] <WakiMiko_> brb
[01:02] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: or better sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:02] <c03> nope
[01:02] <ionite> tonyyarusso: i got this error:        david@nx116:/usr/src/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0003.0620.2011$ ls base.c  cam.c  core.c  debug.c  efuse.c  firmware  Makefile  pci.h  ps.h  rc.h    regd.c  release_note  rtl8192de  wifi.h base.h  cam.h  core.h  debug.h  efuse.h  Kconfig   pci.c     ps.c   rc.c  readme  regd.h  rtl8192ce     rtl8192se david@nx116:/usr/src/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0003.0620.2011$ sudo cp -rf firmwa
[01:02] <c03> I apt-get purged it
[01:02] <WakiMiko_> ubuntu desktop should depend on all that essential stuff yeah
[01:02] <WakiMiko_> ?
[01:02] <jcgs> yup
[01:02] <c03> SIFTU: reboot ?
[01:03] <SIFTU> c03: sure
[01:03] <WakiMiko_> ok im gonna uninstall the gnome network manager stuff
[01:03] <WakiMiko_> and install the ubuntu-desktop
[01:03] <jcgs> srsly? you need that, it comes with ubuntu-desktop
[01:03] <WakiMiko_> im kinda anal about dependencies
[01:03] <WakiMiko_> i know
[01:03] <WakiMiko_> i just reinstalled it
[01:03] <WakiMiko_> beceause the conficlt removed it
[01:03] <tonyyarusso> ionite: You're getting cut off.  If you want to show multiple commands, use pastebin.
[01:03] <WakiMiko_> but id rather have it installed as a dependeny
[01:04] <c03_> same stuff in glxinfo
[01:04] <c03_> and still no glxgears
[01:04] <WakiMiko_> i think im kinda OCD
[01:04] <jcgs> WakiMiko_: good luck anyway, I'm going to bed because it's 1am :( hope it goes well
[01:04] <WakiMiko_> thanks :D
[01:04] <jcgs> oops 2am cr*p
[01:05] <lgagaz> does wine play world of warcraft well?
[01:06] <dr_willis> lgagaz:  it can play it i hear.
[01:06] <c03_> lgagaz: http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_functionality_on_Wine
[01:06] <ionite> tonyyarusso:  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699434/
[01:07] <tonyyarusso> ionite: I need an ls of the firmware directory too, since the thing you want is in it.
[01:08] <sdcnlab> ok guys i have a question
[01:08] <sdcnlab> im trying to install this debian
[01:08] <sdcnlab> but its complaining about a missing package
[01:08] <sdcnlab> but that package is there just with like a character off
[01:08] <sdcnlab> and it says its not installed
[01:08] <SIFTU> c03_: i think it stil have the nvidia opengl libs still installed
[01:08] <ionite> tonyyarusso: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699435/
[01:08] <DasEi> !appdb | lgagaz
[01:09] <WakiMiko_> goddamn this is over my head
[01:09] <WakiMiko_> is there any package that all default packages installed with a new 11.04 install depend on?
[01:10] <tonyyarusso> ionite: You're trying to do something with 'rtl8192se', which doesn't exist.
[01:10] <ionite> tonyyarusso: the folder doesn't exit u mean?
[01:10] <ionite> tonyyarusso: *exist
[01:11] <Cube``> can i download ubuntu 11.10 beta or whatever its called now, install it, and then when the final version comes out, just update?
[01:11] <Cube``> or will i have to reinstall the whole system?
[01:11] <c03_> SIFTU: how do I kill it with fire?
[01:12] <DasEi> Cube can dist-upgrade
[01:12] <edbian> Cube``: you won't need to reinstall
[01:12] <edbian> Cube``: If you are running ubuntu you can dist-upgrade to it now
[01:12] <shawn_> whats the code to find what video card u have
[01:12] <DasEi> Cube: always fine to seperate /home case of problems
[01:12] <edbian> shawn_: lspci
[01:12] <edbian> shawn_: It will print a lot of stuff
[01:13] <DasEi> shawn_: lshw | grep vga
[01:14] <shawn_> kk ty both
[01:14] <shawn_> inow why dont i have the nvidia settings in system -> admin
[01:14] <shawn_> ??
[01:15] <tonyyarusso> ionite: correct.  There is no such folder as rtl8192se, so you can't very well copy it.
[01:15] <DasEi> shawn_: driver not installed ?
[01:15] <M3t0r> why is `which` pointing to the right version, but bash isn't invoking it? https://gist.github.com/1252404
[01:15] <shawn_> yes it is
[01:15] <shawn_> lol
[01:15] <shawn_> i just installed it
[01:15] <werever> hi! anybody can help me please? I am on ubuntu 11.04 and internet and any kind of network connection are disabled cause I uninstalled by error packages for network, drivers are ok
[01:15] <Cube``> edbian: oh i am!
[01:16] <DasEi> werever: edit /etc/network/interfaces, restart network
[01:16] <shawn_> is there a cmd to see if tht one driver is installed?
[01:16] <shawn_> video driver
[01:16] <Cube``> edbian: the thing is, 10.10 could connect to my tethering phone, but 11.04 cant, so im trying to dist-upgrade to see if that bug is fixed in 11.10, else ill go back to 10.10. doesthat make sense?
[01:16] <danileigh79> werever: I'm gonna send you some instructions
[01:17] <bsmith0931> i just grabbed the docs for the latest ubuntu kenel update, and , one quick thing, why are they compressed, they're text files, how big could they possibly be, in aggregate?
[01:17] <ionite> tonyyarusso: but i can access the folder?          http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699437/
[01:18] <werever> thanks DasEi, edit command says "unknown mime-type" and no edit mailcap found for type aplicattion/octet/stream
[01:18] <werever> thanks danileigh79
[01:18] <DasEi> werever: gksu gedit is the actual command
[01:18] <werever> ok
[01:18] <M3t0r> why is `which` pointing to the right version, but bash isn't invoking it? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699438/
[01:19] <werever> DasEi done, how restart network?
[01:19] <shawn_> whats better ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10
[01:19] <DasEi> werever: how do you connect, wired ?
[01:19] <danileigh79> werever: what's your network card?
[01:19] <werever> broadcom
[01:20] <danileigh79> werever: Broadcom what? what's the model?
[01:20] <DasEi> werever: sudo service networking restart to restart (but just when done)
[01:20] <werever> I can connect both wired or wireless, but gnome panel doesnt have networks icons currently
[01:20] <werever> 1 sec
[01:20] <danileigh79> DasEi: I had this problem, I have a set instructions for network card drivers failing in 11.04
[01:20] <danileigh79> DasEi: nm, I missunderstood his problem
[01:21] <danileigh79> werever: I apologize, I missunderstood his problem
[01:21] <danileigh79> werever: your problem
[01:21] <DasEi> ;)
[01:21] <werever> ddanileigh79 dontworry, I cant see current driver cause drivers manager isnt loading
[01:21] <werever> danileigh79 dontworry, I cant see current driver cause drivers manager isnt loading
[01:22] <werever> thanks dasei
[01:22] <DasEi> werever: connectivity back ?
[01:22] <danileigh79> werever: id 11.04 by itself or side by side with windows?
[01:22] <danileigh79> DasEi: He's saying he can't see his networks icon on Gnome panel
[01:23] <werever> 11.04 byself, now I am on a second computer using windows and xchat, my lap is onside me
[01:23] <DasEi> danileigh79: and before he couldn't connect, so to apt anything he first..
[01:23] <WakiMiko_> yay i fixed it
[01:23] <werever> dasei no, error says:
[01:23] <werever> dasei: restart unknown service
[01:23] <sdcnlab> hey DasEi would you mind giving me a little advice, im installing a deb and it requires libcommonplayer3 wheras the package name installed on the system is libcommonplayer3.0
[01:23] <Chris3> I am trying to complete an install on a 2nd physical harddrive that I put in my Windows box.  Went through the install, but now it hangs on startup.  Wondering if I picked the right root, or if anyone else can help me troubleshoot?
[01:23] <sdcnlab> therefore it says package isnt installed
[01:24] <Da|Mummy> psensor is only showing me gpu, and my hdds. why not cpu?
[01:24] <DasEi> sec
[01:27] <werever> dasei I tried this: $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:27] <werever> without success
[01:27] <DasEi> werever: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start
[01:27] <DasEi> sdcnlab: which deb you try to install ?
[01:27] <sdcnlab> https://launchpad.net/~thjc/+archive/ppa/+build/2343484
[01:28] <sdcnlab> stage
[01:28] <sdcnlab> no respository :<
[01:28] <sdcnlab> and i really dont wanna compile it from source
[01:28] <werever> dasei I found that: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-restart-start-stop-networking-service-howto/ infact isnt working yet
[01:28] <sdcnlab> is there a way either change the debian so it looks for the right name library
[01:28] <sdcnlab> or a link to the same library so it can match the name
[01:29] <werever> dasei I think there are many packages damaged or uninstalled
[01:29] <gh0st> Can someone help?! I've the numbers going into the list and the list displaying but I can't get them to insert into the list in order! Does anyone have any tips? http://mysticpaste.com/view/10134
[01:30] <Cube``> how do i check which version of ubuntu i have installed?
[01:30] <Da|Mummy> psensor is only showing me gpu, and my hdds. why not cpu?
[01:30] <jrib> !version | Cube``
[01:30] <Cube``> thanks
[01:30] <Cube``> wut
[01:31] <Cube``> i just did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:31] <Chheapshot> why when I make a new user in kubuntu and login with it, I must set up my wireless again? There is no way to use my main user accounts wireless network settings? Kubuntu 11.04
[01:31] <Cube``> and now i still have ubuntu 11.04
[01:31] <Cube``> !?!?!
[01:31] <DasEi> werever : you put a valid section for eth0 and wlan0 in interfaces ?
[01:31] <DasEi> werever: you use dhcp ?
[01:31] <DasEi> !dist-upgrade | Cube``
[01:32] <DasEi> !upgrade | Cube``, is what you want
[01:32] <werever> dasei I use dhcp, and Iam not sure about "interfaces" settings
[01:32] <DasEi> sdcnlab: is there a nedd for that ppa ? libstage is in repos
[01:33] <DasEi> werever: allow-hotplug eth0
[01:33] <DasEi>                iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:33] <werever> dasei for example, I tried to share folders and message says "you dont have neccesary packages installed"
[01:34] <cornell> Well... TTFN
[01:34] <sdcnlab> which repoe
[01:34] <Cube``> DasEi: tgabjs
[01:34] <Cube``> DasEi: thanks
[01:34] <sdcnlab> nothing is coming up for me DasEi
[01:34] <werever> dasei allow-hotplug returns "command not found"
[01:36] <shawn_> anyone know how to fix the firefox bug on ubuntu 10.04
[01:36] <shawn_> ?
[01:36] <DasEi> werever: these are two lines for interfaces
[01:37] <DasEi> sdcnlab: it's in universy a lib for robtic stuff
[01:37] <DasEi> universe*
[01:37] <sdcnlab> science?
[01:37] <sdcnlab> or universe
[01:38] <werever> dasei I dont understand, sorry =(
[01:38] <SIFTU> c03: I'm guessing you had nvidia installed at one time
[01:38] <DasEi> werever : you put a valid section for eth0 and wlan0 in interfaces ?
[01:38] <sdcnlab> omg
[01:38] <sdcnlab> i forgot to put in universe
[01:38] <sdcnlab> wow i wasted so much time
[01:38] <DasEi> werever: these are two lines for interfaces , coming again now :
[01:38] <DasEi> werever: allow-hotplug eth0
[01:39] <DasEi>                iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:39] <DasEi> werever: afterwards restart network
[01:39] <nn> where does ubuntu save themes to?
[01:39] <sdcnlab> no nvm
[01:40] <sdcnlab> the universe is there
[01:40] <werever> dasei I think I am a complete dummy, I dont understand what "interfaces" mean
[01:40] <mephist0> hi there.  someone know how to use keyboard as mouse? tryed <shift><cntrl><num lock> and no luck. Im looking for some generic linux solution. Are there config files?
[01:40] <sdcnlab> does pakages.ubuntu include universe?
[01:41] <werever> only thing I am sure is some packages critical for network connections were uninstalled by a mistake
[01:41] <DasEi> sdcnlab: this is just a lib, so I gues you try to install something else in the background, else simply disable that repo and do a working upgrade with solved dependencies
[01:41] <DasEi> (the ppa)
[01:41] <nn> im getting a 'cant move directory over directory' when trying to install a theme
[01:41] <sdcnlab> DasEi, can i add how what the address that i add to the source list?
[01:42] <alkafoo> mephist0: it was something like that, I think they must have disabled it in recent X versions, though
[01:42] <DasEi> sdcnlab: you mean how to disable ppa ?
[01:42] <alkafoo> probably have to pass a conf param to get it back
[01:42] <sdcnlab> im just confuse what to do
[01:42] <sdcnlab> to get these packages installed
[01:42] <sdcnlab> that sall
[01:43] <mephist0> alkafoo: param to what? the kernel?
[01:43] <werever> anybody knows if is there any list for all networking packages installed ono ubuntu by default?
[01:46] <DasEi> werever: dpkg -L | grep network
[01:47] <DasEi> ah default, well I could send you that output, but there are additional things I installed
[01:48] <DasEi> sdcnlab: easiest would be to remove the ppa and upgrade, so your apt is fine again
[01:48] <werever> dasei, I tried to install network-manager without sucess, and your command returns "--listfiles need at least one packagename as argument"
[01:48] <sdcnlab> DasEi, im going to remove everything i did and start over
[01:48] <sdcnlab> ppa is gone and manually installed deb file is gone
[01:49] <sdcnlab> i purged em
[01:49] <sdcnlab> now how can i install those packages
[01:49] <DasEi> :)
[01:49] <sdcnlab> cuz their not in any usual respository
[01:49] <DasEi> sdcnlab: that's a lib that will be pulled automatically on the corresponding deb
[01:49] <alkafoo> they're
[01:50] <sdcnlab> also i know its bad but i had libcv-dev installed
[01:50] <sdcnlab> and then i force-overwrite libopencv
[01:50] <sdcnlab> just to get it to install
[01:51] <DasEi> sdcnlab: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade   shows no errors no more ?
[01:51] <sdcnlab> is that going to cause me problems
[01:51] <sdcnlab> DasEi, no issues ya
[01:51] <DasEi> fine so,and what's the actual deb you where looking for ?
[01:51] <sdcnlab> i want to get stage and subsequent packages installed
[01:51] <sdcnlab> and then gazebo and player
[01:52] <MonkeyDust> gazebo? used to say, i like chopin
[01:52] <sdcnlab> 3d robot simulator
[01:53] <graft> this channel is awesome!
[01:53] <werever> anybody know how to fix network connections on ubuntu?, I uninstalled a big quantity of packages from my main ubuntu  installation by mistake
[01:53] <DasEi> sdcnlab: never heard of it, might be need to compile it if there is no deb
[01:53] <shawn_> anyone know how to fix the bug in ubuntu 10.04??
[01:53] <graft> 3d robot simulators? haha
[01:53] <shawn_> fire fox.bin is eatin my cpu :P
[01:53] <sdcnlab> DasEi, im almost ready to
[01:54] <sdcnlab> but if the debian is having linking issues
[01:54] <sdcnlab> im expecting the compiler to do as well
[01:54] <graft> shawn_: upgrade firefox

[01:55] <DasEi> sdcnlab: I'd like to help more, but that'll be a walk in the dark, so better set up a vm for try n error, if you can't find anyone more experienced, good way to bork sys as we saw
[01:55] <sdcnlab> DasEi, got it working
[01:55] <sdcnlab> no worries

[02:04] <shawn_> was 10.10 good at all?
[02:04] <werever> dasei I used sudo instead gksu and now gedit opens file
[02:04] <DasEi> shawn_: I prefer the daily builds
[02:05] <Dell_e6410> quem pode me ajudar a fazer com que meu windows 7 volte e funcionar ?

[02:07] <sdcnlab_> DasEi, if your still around
[02:07] <sdcnlab_> i wanted to change the boot screen start up
[02:07] <Guest12313> I lost sound to my headphones but internal speakers work fine.
[02:07] <sdcnlab_> its says kubuntu
[02:07] <sdcnlab_> but i want to change it back to the original ubuntu
[02:07] <sdcnlab_> my coworkers are going to mind
[02:07] <Pat201> i need help running conky, when i execute it is shown incomplete and enlarged on the lefthand side of the screen
[02:08] <DasEi> werever: this is how it should look for now : http://pastebin.com/M1Fye7Uk
[02:08] <DasEi> sdcnlab_: yes ?
[02:09] <sdcnlab_> DasEi, i was wondering how to change the bootscreen back to the original ubuntu from kubuntu
[02:09] <shrimants> does ubuntu minimal support intel 4965 agn wireless card and WPA2?
[02:09] <DasEi> Pat201: conky can be configured in almost any way, take a look for howtos or the forum
[02:09] <werever> dasei done thanks, restarting network now
[02:10] <zykotick9> shrimants, minimal won't support WPA during install
[02:11] <DasEi> werever: does ifconfig now show a valid ip for eth0 ?
[02:11] <kennett> need help getting headphone jack working.
[02:11] <DasEi> sdcnlab_: bootscreen ? gdm ? or the surface ?
[02:12] <sdcnlab_> ive enabled gdm
[02:12] <sdcnlab_> but before that
[02:12] <sdcnlab_> the first thing that comes up
[02:12] <werever> dasei negative
[02:12] <sdcnlab_> says kubuntu but i want to change it back to ubuntu
[02:12] <dr_willis> thats the plymouth theme thing sdcnlab_
[02:13] <werever> dasei, i tried a wired connection, I think I missed many critical packages
[02:13] <DasEi> sdcnlab_: apt-get install ubuntu-dektop , choose gdm when asked, or remove kubuntu-dektop
[02:13] <dr_willis> theres some command to reset it to ubuntu. but i never worry about it
[02:13] <DasEi> werever: are you using dhcp in your subnet ?
[02:13] <werever> dasei yes
[02:13] <dr_willis> plymouth is befor gdm loads
[02:14] <shawn_> what version.. in ubuntu 10.04... doesnt eat my cpu up?
[02:14] <DasEi> werever: does ifconfig least show a card eth0 ?

[02:15] <werever> dasei I have no network menu in gnome panel
[02:15] <DasEi> werever: sudo dhclient ?
[02:15] <Adriannom> hi.  just installed natty.  apt-get-install nfs-common returns "Errors were encountered while processing:nfs-common".
[02:15] <shawn_> which is better 10.04 or 10.10?
[02:15] <DasEi> werever: lo is localhost, and you need two similar lines for eth1 then, too
[02:16] <zykotick9> werever, see if ubuntu has a package named network-manager-gnome, and see if it's installed.
[02:16] <werever> dasei sudho dhclient eth0 doesnt working, terminal is freezed after this command
[02:16] <DasEi> shawn_: your choice, depends on your liking /unity
[02:16] <shawn_> i know but like

[02:26] <mlatelcom> Hello everyone. I have a PHP tutorial which is made on html and for some reason some things don't show up. it works on windows...so I'm wondering why it doesn't in linux
[02:27] <mlatelcom> basically there is an index and some other html files and some folders like images and so on. and let's say for example the reference to images in the pages code is ./images/whateverimage.jpg
[02:27] <hydrogen18> Hello, I have a problem: I have a logical volume which has "#open" of 1 when I run lvdisplay. But looking in /proc/mount it is not mounted and 'lsof' does not return anything having it open. 'fuser -ki' does not prompt me to kill any processes when run against the logical volume either
[02:27] <hydrogen18> running ubuntu 10.04 server amd64
[02:27] <mephist0> pwlandoll: what says
[02:27] <mlatelcom> but it doesn't show images on any page I open.I chmod the root tutorial folder to 777 but nothing happened
[02:28] <mlatelcom> does anybody know what's happening?
[02:28] <Adriannom> just installed ubuntu 11.04.  apt-get install nfs-common returned "Errors were encountered while processing:nfs-common".  dmesg shows:  http://nopaste.info/27495f7f55.html - any ideas how i can solve the problem?
[02:28] <pwlandoll> mephist0: when I try booting it displays a bunch of text and stops at Checking battery state .... [OK]
[02:29] <mephist0> pwlandoll: thats it?
[02:30] <Antrax2000> mlatelcom: are u running the html manual in your local server?
[02:30] <Pilif12p> hi, when i try to log in i get "Cannot update ICEauthority file", and it makes me log out
[02:30] <rodayo> what's a good command line program like a calculator but it outputs fractions numbers as ratios?
[02:30] <Pilif12p> i'm in the guest account now and it works fine
[02:30] <Pilif12p> tried to chown to tanner:tanner, that didn't work
[02:31] <mlatelcom> antrax2000: no, just in a local folder. actually if I do it in a server it should work I guess
[02:31] <pwlandoll> mephist0: the rest of the text is up there but it stops loading. I can still hit ctrl alt del to restart.
[02:31] <kennett> How do I get my internal speakers to mute when I have headphones plugged in?
[02:32] <Antrax2000> mlatelcom: you can try, if it doesnt work, try enabling the html error reporting in your php.ini
[02:33] <StormyJet> hello? i need help with installing java
[02:33] <mlatelcom> I'll try that and let's see what's happening
[02:33] <Aleuck> StormyJet: what is your problem?
[02:34] <mephist0> pwlandoll: https://launchpad.net/bugs/367078 there are lots of results. maybe that helps you
[02:34] <Adriannom> anyone?
[02:35] <StormyJet> i want to install it, so i dl'ed it. Did not work. Someone suggested APT, and i have honestly no idea what that is (new to ubuntu)
[02:35] <Antrax2000> mlatelcom: if configuring ur php.ini doesnt help u figure out what the problem is, then i suggest u use the chm format instead
[02:36] <StormyJet> can you help me?

[02:42] <shawn_> Oh
[02:42] <shawn_> do u have the prob where its eatting ur cpu?
[02:42] <symptom> although Im sure the issue is similar
[02:42] <symptom> shawn_, yes
[02:42] <shawn_> yeh
[02:42] <symptom> shawn_, when it gets real bad it just locks up
[02:42] <shawn_> well
[02:43] <shawn_> it doesnt reach 70 for me
[02:43] <shawn_> goes to 50
[02:43] <shawn_> but im on a quad core
[02:43] <FloodBot1> shawn_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:43] <shawn_> so i mean whats the issue
[02:43] <symptom> shawn_, when im playing videos on youtube or something, it kills me
[02:43] <shawn_> yeh same
[02:43] <shawn_> top - 22:43:36 up  1:42,  3 users,  load average: 1.62, 1.49, 1.38
[02:43] <shawn_> look at that
[02:43] <symptom> shawn_, I diverged from ubuntu ff a while ago
[02:43] <StormyJet> okay, i did what it said, now which alt java should i use?
[02:44] <shawn_> well
[02:44] <symptom> I just use what ff gives me straight from mozilla.  on ubuntu atleast.  NOt really an option on solaris
[02:44] <StormyJet> it says this http://pastebin.com/SzdGWTaa
[02:44] <nathanel> i get it straight from the adobe labs server... i analyzed the download source and copied it... here is a little fetch script i made for it..  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10728225/get-flash
[02:44] <shawn_> well it only happens in 10.04 not 11.04
[02:44] <nathanel> shawn: i get it straight from the adobe labs server... i analyzed the download source and copied it... here is a little fetch script i made for it..  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10728225/get-flash
[02:45] <nathanel> symptom: i get it straight from the adobe labs server... i analyzed the download source and copied it... here is a little fetch script i made for it..  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10728225/get-flash
[02:45] <shawn_> so how do u remove my current flash
[02:45] <nathanel> open terminal
[02:45] <StormyJet> which one should i use?
[02:45] <nathanel> sudo nautilus /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[02:46] <nathanel> delete the one thats called flashplugin.so
[02:47] <shawn_> how about libflashplayer.so
[02:47] <shawn_> ?
[02:47] <nathanel> whatever.. you get the idea
[02:47] <shawn_> then theres npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[02:47] <shawn_> lol
[02:47] <nathanel> point is theres only one and its always called the same
[02:47] <symptom> nathanel, thats money
[02:47] <jmcfarlane> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/862895
[02:48] <nathanel> symptom: meaning??
[02:48] <symptom> nathanel, good.
[02:48] <nathanel> :)
[02:48] <nathanel> shawn : close terminal
[02:48] <nathanel> shawn: kill the firefox process
[02:48] <shawn_> nath
[02:49] <shawn_> it says
[02:49] <shawn_> no such file or direc
[02:49] <shawn_> but im in downloads
[02:49] <FloodBot1> shawn_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:49] <nathanel> ?
[02:49] <shawn_> i followed the wget
[02:49] <shawn_> and then tar xvf
[02:49] <nathanel> shawn: you have to run the script.. it does it for you
[02:50] <shawn_> so i have to copy all this to a text editor?
[02:50] <shawn_> an then name it what
[02:50] <symptom> nathanel, how do you know if there are updates?  I cant find any root page with all flash downloads.....
[02:51] <nathanel> shawn: the point is that wget fetches it for you without user authentification, it'S a query signal.... obviously if you try to input the address manually itll fail
[02:51] <Deihmos> is there no hardware acceleration in ubuntu? Ui is so freaking laggy
[02:51] <kasper__> hi
[02:52] <shawn_> i know nath but how do i make the script work?.. i went to the webpage that u gave me
[02:52] <nathanel> symptom: the point is no updates: 10.2 was the most stable so far...
[02:52] <tensorpudding> Deihmos, if your hardware supports it
[02:52] <nathanel> shawn
[02:52] <Deihmos> i have an nvidia 9800 GTX
[02:52] <jmcfarlane> after the last update (oneiric) network manager (or nm-applet) is not happy :/
[02:52] <Deihmos> how would i know if it supports it or not
[02:53] <nathanel> shawn: go to the folder where you put the get-flash, right click it>permissions> allow to execute as program
[02:53] <symptom> nathanel, what no chmodding?
[02:53] <symptom> kids these days.....
[02:53] <nathanel> ITS THE SAME!
[02:53] <symptom> hehe
[02:53] <nathanel> you seem to be lost on commands
[02:54] <nathanel> chmod +x get-flash && sudo ./get-flash
[02:54] <shawn_> so i execute the script
[02:54] <symptom> im jk nathanel.
[02:54] <nathanel> happy?
[02:54] <nathanel> lol
[02:54] <shawn_> an then the term opens for like 2 secs then closes
[02:54] <nathanel> ya
[02:54] <symptom> chmod 0755 get-flash; sudo ./get-flash
[02:54] <symptom> ;)
[02:54] <nathanel> or open a term and paste the command to keep output
[02:55] <shawn_> nath so im done then?
[02:55] <nathanel> check the ff plugin with about:plugins in address bar to verify whhich version it's at now and test

[03:13] <nathanel> shawn: ??
[03:13] <DasEi> StormyJet: nvm, ubottu is the channel ro-bot, triggered by "!" like :
[03:13] <DasEi> !brain
[03:14] <StormyJet> so if i did !apt what would that do
[03:14] <StormyJet> !apt
[03:14] <DasEi> StormyJet: you can query it to play around
[03:14] <StormyJet> !java
[03:15] <StormyJet> but seriously, that installs 64bit
[03:15] <DasEi> StormyJet: so partner repo enabled ?
[03:15] <StormyJet> the what (im very new)
[03:16] <DasEi> StormyJet: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

[03:22] <DasEi> !es
[03:22] <StormyJet> hola, kasper__ , no comprende espanol
[03:23] <kieppie> hi guys. I'm looking for a solution to read an ebook (pdf) in the background while I'm working. aby ideas, please?
[03:23] <DasEi> StormyJet: should have worving stuff now
[03:23] <DasEi> working*
[03:23] <StormyJet> still crashes
[03:24] <grkblood> I installed 10.10 64-bit and I got prompted to install additional drivers for my video card. I installed the additional drivers and now my laptop locks up at "checking battery state..." when booting up
[03:24] <grkblood> how do i fix this?
[03:24] <StormyJet> http://pastebin.com/EruRiuZH says this
[03:26] <cmicallef> woot ubuntu! :)
[03:26] <DasEi> StormyJet: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[03:27] <DasEi> StormyJet: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[03:27] <grkblood> how do i fix this?
[03:27] <grkblood> I installed 10.10 64-bit and I got prompted to install additional drivers for my video card. I installed the additional drivers and now my laptop locks up at "checking battery state..." when booting up
[03:27] <StormyJet> Reinstallation of sun-java6-jre is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. Reinstallation of sun-java6-plugin is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[03:28] <cmicallef> @StormyJet can't you just use the Maverick repo?
[03:28] <StormyJet> hrm?
[03:29] <cmicallef> deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner
[03:29] <cmicallef> i use that with 11.04
[03:29] <cmicallef> and sun java works for me
[03:29] <StormyJet> in terminal correct?
[03:29] <DasEi> cmicallef: bad idea (dep's)
[03:30] <keyzs> how can i code in linux like i do in dreamweaver with a few clicks to build site?
[03:30] <cmicallef> DasEi: yeah i know, but it works! :D
[03:30] <DasEi> StormyJet: you saved sources after uncommenting partner repo ?
[03:30] <cmicallef> hahah
[03:30] <StormyJet> yes i did
[03:31] <StormyJet> hold on, i think i made a mistake
[03:31] <urlin2u> kieppie, you might check out this link. http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/48344.aspx
[03:33] <StormyJet> it still crashes
[03:33] <eaglestar> hi i wanted to know if i should format my drive with seperate partitions for / /home and /swap or if the default is better and safer for upgrading thank you
[03:33] <DasEi> StormyJet: I'm still on lucid and also found a ppa by google, but wonder that the partner repos aren't up yet
[03:33] <gr33n7007h> How do you install Epredict from source>
[03:34] <paulus68> eaglestar:  I'd go for seperate partitions
[03:35] <gr33n7007h> it wont update intltool to make
[03:35] <DasEi> StormyJet: your decision if you want to trust  a ppa, I'd rather do that before risking a broken apt on other partner's debs
[03:35] <DasEi> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/install-java-in-ubuntu-1104-natty.html
[03:35] <StormyJet> alright
[03:36] <DasEi> ^solution 2 way to then, StormyJet
[03:36] <DasEi> go*
[03:36] <eaglestar> paulus68: can i ask i wanted to make sure i have 80gb hdd it says / 9999 mb /home 66715 m and swap 3308 mb is that good?
[03:38] <kieppie> anyone know of a ebook reader with TTS?
[03:38] <RobbieCrash> eaglestar you may want to give / a bit more space
[03:38] <eaglestar> like how much?
[03:39] <RobbieCrash> 15GB should be plenty
[03:39] <RobbieCrash> 10 may get cramped depending on what all you install
[03:39] <eaglestar> RobbieCrash: ok thanks i will check it out
[03:39] <StormyJet> its installing now
[03:40] <RobbieCrash> especially if you're going to use anything through WINE, since Windows programs are substantially larger than Linux ones, generally speaking.
[03:40] <eaglestar> i have not used it in so long because i needed some windows programs for work and i have gotten rusty
[03:40] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to make wireless card boost power so it can receive more networks?  t420 running intel 6300 + wimax
[03:41] <paulus68> eaglestar: I'd go with 30/30/20
[03:42] <eaglestar> 30 / 30 /home and 3 /swap? i don't have enough space for my files
[03:42] <jinu> what are the arguments of execv() system call?
[03:42] <Flannel> eaglestar: You can definately bring / down to 10 (Unless you're planning on storing stuff in /var or somewhere else, instead of home)
[03:42] <bastidrazor> eaglestar: / should around 15. clean the apt-get cache and you'll stay well under 6GB
[03:42] <gr33n7007h> arooni-mobile: iwconfig <interface> txpower <N>mW
[03:43] <bastidrazor> eaglestar: i tend to agree with Flannel. i've had this laptop for 3 years and have 6.54GB used on /
[03:43] <eaglestar> ok thanks flannel and bastidrazor i will check i don't really think it will be used for more than email word processing and music
[03:43] <eaglestar> ok i will keep at 10gb then
[03:44] <Flannel> eaglestar: Then yeah, you should be fine with 10gb /
[03:44] <eaglestar> do you guys always use seperate mount points? it seems to me that partitioning should always be recommended correct?
[03:45] <paulus68> eaglestar: I always use several mountpoints just to be certain that I don't loose any work dispite the fact that I do a daily backup
[03:46] <grkblood> I installed 10.10 64-bit and I got prompted to install additional drivers for my video card. I installed the additional drivers and now my laptop locks up at "checking battery state..." when booting up
[03:46] <eaglestar> i was in this room before and they said i should do a fresh install over upgrade every time so i figured keeping a seperate partition for upgrading would be a good idea in the future
[03:48] <setient> how is everyone
[03:49] <urlin2u> grkblood, do you know how to edit the kernel with nomodeset to get in with a low graphics boot?
[03:49] <grkblood> urlin2u, no
[03:49] <diytto> Is there a way I can share the wireless internet on my laptop with another computer through ethernet
[03:49] <grkblood> urlin2u, how would i just revert back to the open source drivers
[03:50] <paulus68> diytto: with what purpose?
[03:50] <diytto> paulus68: So the other computer can access the internet
[03:50] <urlin2u> grkblood, at the grub menu hit e for edit, then se the arrow keys to h=get to where it says quiet splash and add nomodeset, as far as fixing it others will know more, easier done from the desktop probably.
[03:51] <diytto> paulus68: Think of the laptop as a bridge
[03:51] <urlin2u> se=use  h+get is just get sorry grkblood
[03:51] <paulus68> diytto: I wouldn't operate like that since the speed of your internet is going to be adapted to the speed of your wireless connection
[03:52] <diytto> paulus68: Yes, well my internet connection is too slow for it to matter
[03:53] <urlin2u> grkblood, I think sisnce you just used the additional drivers to add you can just turn them off.
[03:53] <urlin2u> same place
[03:54] <paulus68> diytto: then why bring it even more down, since you have a wireless connection you have a wifi modem, if so you should have at least 4 ethernet ports available to plug in your 2nd computer
[03:54] <diytto> paulus68: It is in another room
[03:55] <paulus68> diytto:  no need to bridge, you also need to be aware that both computers need to be active in order to make that internet connection work
[03:55] <diytto> Oh
[03:55] <diytto> Well yes
[03:55] <diytto> Eh
[03:55] <diytto> I will figure something out
[03:55] <bsmith0931> how do i get rid of a window left over from a process i killed
[03:55] <diytto> Thanks paulus68
[03:56] <paulus68> diytto: if your laptop is going into hybernation you don't have internet on your computer
[03:56] <diytto> I never hibernate or sleep
[03:56] <diytto> The laptop screws up
[03:56] <diytto> Its always plugged into power too
[03:56] <DasEi> bsmith0931: either killall -9 or alt+F4 after clicking on it
[03:56] <paulus68> diytto: not good for a laptop
[03:56] <diytto> Its basically a lightweight desktop
[03:56] <zykotick9> bsmith0931, did you happen to use xkill to kill it?  just curious.  Try changing desktops, or logout/backin.
[03:56] <Dex7> hello!
[03:56] <diytto> It's the only solution
[03:57] <diytto> It has a 2 hour battery life
[03:57] <DasEi> bsmith0931:  killall -9 on the original process kills it's kids, too
[03:57] <paulus68> diytto: what is the current layout of your network
[03:57] <zykotick9> DasEi, -9 should be used as a last resort, and doesn't touch children ;)
[03:57] <diytto> Modem - Airport Extreme wireless router - Wireless B/G router
[03:57] <Dex7> i need help - change mya videocrd - after my video (mocies) crashes. i hear only sound and black screen in player.
[03:58] <bsmith0931> kill -9 pid worked thanks
[03:58] <Dex7> the codec are installed.
[03:58] <knightrage> diytto: is the wireless laptop running linux?
[03:58] <diytto> Yes, lubuntu
[03:58] <paulus68> diytto: then buy yourself an ethernet cable and connect this with 1 of your routers and plug it in straight away into your desktop
[03:58] <mordof> i've got a program that i regularly run - I'd like to launch it from the command line but it's not actually installed, it's precompiled
[03:59] <zykotick9> Dex7, try chaning to VO - Video Output in your media player (xv,x11,gl type thing)
[03:59] <diytto> paulus68: It will have to be a long ethernet cable :/
[03:59] <mordof> how would i go about making it so that program is available from the command line?
[03:59] <zykotick9> Dex7, typo above: s/to/the/
[03:59] <diytto> mordof: You could create a script to launch it
[04:00] <paulus68> diytto: why? are you not able to move the wifi routers?
[04:00] <mordof> diytto: that's fine, but where would i put it?
[04:01] <diytto> mordof: Anywhere, /usr/bin
[04:01] <diytto> paulus68: Yeah.
[04:01] <paulus68> diytto: then play with that try to enlarge the range between these 2 routers in order to get a internet cable that can be plugged into your computer
[04:02] <diytto> paulus68: Will do.
[04:02] <Dex7> zykotick9, thank you - it realy help. :)
[04:03] <paulus68> diytto: it's also better that 1 pc in the network is connected through cable to your routers/modem you'd get funny situations if you do a reset of your wifi and you loose internet because of that :p
[04:05] <diytto> paulus68: There are 2 iMacs plugged in to one of the routers
[04:06] <paulus68> diytto: ok
[04:07] <RobbieCrash> Anyone in here using ZFS?
[04:08] <Operaist2> how do i type in address in the ubuntu file windows
[04:09] <diytto> Wow
[04:09] <Operaist2> hello?
[04:11] <DasEi> Operaist2: world
[04:16] <rabbi1> how can i get itrans layout . my language is not showing up in the drop down under preferences ... :( in iBus
[04:20] <paulus68> the lag is terrible :(
[04:23] <k1llaByte> i was playing assault cube from ubuntu software center and the aiming sux is the updatedversion as bad?
[04:24] <paean_> is there a command to search a directory for text files containing specified text?  like grep but for multiple files?
[04:24] <paean_> like the "Search for files" dialog, but a cli version.
[04:24] <curiousx> paean_: with grep's -R flag
[04:25] <Chris3> I have downloaded and unpacked the Mozilla Thunderbird executable on my new Ubuntu installation.  How do I install the program.  Don't I just double click the Thunderbird-bin file?  Any pointer in the right direction is appreciated.
[04:25] <paean_> curiousx, I never knew that flag existed.  Thanks.
[04:25] <curiousx> your welcome dude =)
[04:26] <eaglestar> i have a question my computer froze during end of install also when i restart it only shows a blank screen what should I do? (i disabled napic nolapic acpi=noirq vga=771 during install to get it working, i think it was the acpi giving me problems before
[04:26] <urlin2u> Chris3, thnderbird is in the repositories, you might try that.
[04:26] <ex0> its acpi eaglestar
[04:27] <Chris3> urlin2u: OK, I will go search for those.  Thanks
[04:27] <eaglestar> ex0: what should i do?
[04:27] <urlin2u> Chris3, in the terminal sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[04:28] <lucas-arg> is it possible to put xchat window in fullscreen?
[04:28] <eaglestar> whenever i try to reload it it just hangs. i tried to run ubuntu but had to try lubuntu ex0
[04:28] <urlin2u> lucas-arg, doesn't the screen have buttons on tye top?
[04:29] <urlin2u> the
[04:29] <rabbi1> how can i get itrans layout . my language is not showing up in the drop down under preferences ... :(
[04:29] <lucas-arg> urlin2u, yeah but in fullscreen... like the windows using the entire screen....
[04:30] <concerned_> Err.. I have a few questions, please excuse the upcoming wall of text.
[04:30] <concerned_> Hi everyone. I have a couple questions. I have a problem, and I'm seeking to use ubuntu as part of a solution. But I'm also seeking non-computery solutions as well. I have a roommate whom is using a significant amount of down and upload bandwith that I'm concerned he may be torrenting or similar.
[04:30] <concerned_>  When I talk to him about it, he steps back for a few days, then resumes as usual. How viable is using ubuntu as a "router" distro(dedicated pc with 2 nic cards) and how can I cover my butt legally?
[04:30] <urlin2u> lucas-arg, in windows unless you hide the panel at the bottom it should be the same.
[04:30] <lucas-arg> tnx
[04:31] <concerned_> AFAIK the connection is in my GFs name, and in the US she'd be liable for his traffic and would have to seek damages in small claims court should we get sued because of him..I'd like to avoid that scenario alltogether : /
[04:34] <kazzy> concerned_, what are you using as a router currently?
[04:34] <concerned_> Actiontec Q1000
[04:35] <kazzy> concerned_, ah, it's a combination DSL modem and router
[04:35] <concerned_> kazzy I looked for custom firmware unfortunately it's one of the few pretty much incompatible with any pre-built stuff
[04:37] <knightrage> concerned_: might be worth a read. dunno if there's any usable information: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/09/10/1623255/ask-slashdot-p2p-liability-on-a-shared-connection
[04:38] <concerned_> knightrage: thanks so much for the link. I'll take a look.
[04:39] <eaglestar> how would i boot in grub with acpi=off?
[04:40] <concerned_> knightrage: from that it looks like I might be best giving him a refund for his share of the net bill this month and just cutting off the connection, asking him to get his own. How in the world do you present something like that politely Oo?
[04:42] <phlak_user> !hi
[04:42] <knightrage> concerned_: no clue, haha.
[04:42] <dr_willis> eaglestar:  edit the grub lines at boot time. or the config files. see the !nomodeset factoid for a url.with.examples of editing grub at boot
[04:43] <nico_> hi all
[04:43] <rabbi1> how can i get itrans layout . my language is not showing up in the drop down under preferences ... :(
[04:43] <concerned_> knightrage: Well I'll have to mull over that one, but that no longer remotely has anything to do with ubuntu. So thanks a lot all~! =D
[04:44] <nico_> Could someone assist with a driver installation DURING the Ubuntu install proccess ?
[04:45] <phlak_user> rabbi1: is that the Indian language print package?
[04:45] <rabbi1> phlak_user: yeah
[04:45] <phlak_user> rabbi1: oh ok
[04:45] <eaglestar> !nomodeset
[04:46] <phlak_user> rabbi1: what is your language?
[04:46] <jose_al> hi
[04:46] <rabbi1> phlak_user: in the dropdown it shows only chinese, nothing else, how can add indian language to the dropdown ?
[04:46] <rabbi1> phlak_user: trying to add, hindi and kannada
[04:47] <rabbi1> kn and hi
[04:47] <dan> Hey guys
[04:47] <phlak_user> rabbi1: on Ubuntu?
[04:47] <Guest33041> I have a question, and I apologize in advance that I am not very tech savvy... but I was playing that game Lincity and it messed up the resolution of my desktop wallpaper...not my computer screen just the wallpaper
[04:48] <rabbi1> phlak_user: yeah, 11.04
[04:48] <Guest33041> now every time I close out of a window the window shows up in the black area surrounding my smaller sized wallpaper
[04:49] <Guest33041> I tried switching the wallpaper to see if it needed to just refresh but it did nothing
[04:49] <eaglestar> thanks guys that helped
[04:50] <phlak_user> rabbi1: have you installed the .ifm files? eg for kannada its kantex.ifm
[04:50] <phlak_user> rabbi1: and dvnc.ifm for devanagari
[04:50] <eaglestar> how do you update your bios in ubuntu?
[04:51] <phlak_user> !bios
[04:52] <urlin2u> eaglestar, generally you don't but the manufacturer wo=ho would provide the update should have instructions.
[04:52] <urlin2u> who*
[04:52] <eaglestar> i think all i have to do is edit the grub loader for acpi=off or acpi_osi
[04:54] <eaglestar> !bios
[04:55] <netlab> hello
[04:55] <phlak_user> eaglestar: yes, /etc/default/grub is the place to do it and then update grub
[04:56] <buhman> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/484898/ why do I keep disconnecting, and what's reason 1?
[04:56] <urlin2u> eaglestar, run this gksudo gedit  /etc/default/grub and add the stuff to this line between the quotes, then run a sudo update-grub  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
[04:58] <eaglestar> thanks so much urlin2u i was on the page that talks about it
[04:58] <urlin2u> eaglestar, no problems sometimes it helps to out line it. :D
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> buhman: can you pastebin the output of:
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> buhman: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a     thanks
[05:10] <aki_ross> Hi
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> hi aki_ross
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> buhman: I may have a fix :), I need the pastebin first though
[05:15] <buhman> ActionParsnip: sorry; one moment
[05:18] <buhman> ActionParsnip: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/484904/
[05:19] <RP64> hello fine gentlemen, my ubuntu installation is working fine except for the vital fault that it is crashing to a black screen upon login. it was a succesfull installation with a perfectly fine disk and ISO from the official source, so that isn't the problem
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> buhman: you missed:  lsb_release -a
[05:19] <RP64> upon research, I found out that ubuntu 11.04 has problems with Nvidia Geforce , which is the videocard my computer uses
[05:19] <buhman> ActionParsnip: right...
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> RP64: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[05:19] <RP64> therefore, I have no idea what to do as I can't even log into the ubuntu, do any of the fine gentlemen here have any solutions to this spectacle?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> buhman: what is the output of the command please
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> buhman: try:  sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
[05:20] <RP64> ActionParsnip: Really, are you sure good sir? How would one go about to add a boot option do you say?
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | RP64 just use nouvea.blacklist=1 instead ;)
[05:20] <buhman> ActionParsnip: hrm no visible changes
[05:20] <buhman> ActionParsnip: what was that supposed to do?
[05:21] <jrgp> Where does natty store the UUID for the swap partition needed for hibernation resume?
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> buhman: you won't see anything if it works, now try your wireless connection
[05:21] <buhman> ActionParsnip: still working
[05:21] <RP64> ActionParsnip: Hmm I understand that by no stretch of an ear , I don't even understand what it means. my apologies my good man, however what do you mean by "just use nouvea.blacklist=1 instead... I am a noobular vessel
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> jrgp: sudo blkid     will show it, if that's what you mean
[05:21] <buhman> ActionParsnip: do I need to ifup/down or did the changes take effect immediately?
[05:22] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  For you see I am not even on Ubuntu at the moment but unfortunately the horrid windows vista, therefore I want to switch back to Ubuntu ASAP but its trapped in a vortex of black screen
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> RP64: the boot option stops the OS using the nouveau driver being used, the guide I gave shows how to add the bootoption: nomodeset   all you have to do us switch the option, the method is the same
[05:22] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  how does one go about to add the command you mentioned to the boot option?
[05:22] <reverseblade> nickserv identify l00Ma3x
[05:22] <jrgp> ActionParsnip: that isn't what I mean. I mean Ubuntu stores the location of the swap partition under /etc somewhere so it knows to look there upon resume.
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> RP64: the boot options are set before the kernel is even loaded, so you simply need to reboot and follow the guide
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> reverseblade: may want to change your password
[05:23] <reverseblade> ActionParsnip, why so ?
[05:23] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  thank you my good sir, therefore you are stating that it is in the GRUB loading screen as a selection?
[05:23] <jrgp> ActionParsnip: the config file this article references does not exist in natty. http://sites.google.com/site/lightrush/random-1/howtofixhibernateafterresizingswappartitiononubuntu
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> reverseblade: if you do that in the lobby screen with motd, you won't broadcast to the channel ;)
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> (06:22:40) reverseblade: nickserv identify l00Ma3x
[05:24] <reverseblade> ActionParsnip, but that wasn't my password at all
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> reverseblade: it looks a lot like one, especially when you address the nickserv.....
[05:24] <reverseblade> no i just typed it to catch some fish
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> buhman: should be ok straight away
[05:25] <ksraj> hey guys
[05:25]  * m00se slaps reverseblade around a bit with a large trout!
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> reverseblade: no fish here ;)
[05:25] <reverseblade> heh
[05:25] <ksraj> sorry if this is the wrong room
[05:25] <ksraj> but where should i got for help with cryptography?
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> buhman: has it helped?
[05:25] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  My good sir, I have read upon that thread page you have sent me, and I see that it seems to be an improper workaround to the problem! Alas, it seems as though it is only cheating its way around it, and therefore won't even use my graphics card properly? What say you to this?
[05:26] <reverseblade> Saveas still here eh
[05:26] <buhman> ActionParsnip: I won't know until it fails
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> RP64: you are only using it to then get logged in and get updates and install the proprietary driver, this will then be used and nouveau will not be an issue anymore
[05:26] <buhman> ActionParsnip: takes quite a few moments for that to happen, as you can probably see from the paste
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> buhman: what is the output of: lsb_release -a
[05:27] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  Oh I now see the solution you've presented, good of you to state these facts to me my good sir you are a blessed man of the computer gods
[05:27] <buhman> ActionParsnip: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/484908/
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> RP64: I'm no god, just been around a while ;)
[05:27] <paulus68> m00se: stop waisting that trout :)
[05:27] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  but those computer gods have blessed you is my point
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> RP64: ok, what is the output of:  cat /etc/lsb-release    please
[05:27] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  therefore you are a blessed man spreading the gospel of those computer gods, who fly in the computer sky with their digital wings
[05:28] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  I'm not in Ubuntu at the moment, so I can't check that for you... I am dualbooting with Vista
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> m00se: can I PM you please
[05:28] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  So does that mean I am how they say, screwed
[05:28] <buhman> ActionParsnip: you like that lsb-release program I see :P
[05:28] <m00se> no
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> m00se: ok, np
[05:28] <buhman> ActionParsnip: was that supposed to go to me?
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> buhman: it tells us a lot
[05:29] <RP64> action can I PM you? I'll stop speaking like this
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> buhman: yes, just weird how your lsb_release is like that
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> RP64: You have the only fix I know for black screen with nvidia chip
[05:29] <buhman> ActionParsnip: lsb-release exists but is empty
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> buhman: are you using ubuntu? or is it something else?
[05:30] <buhman> ActionParsnip: lsb-release says n/a
[05:30] <buhman> I agree
[05:30] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  I know but I want to write down the solution and all the other chatting makes it hard to read it
[05:30] <RP64> D:
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> RP64: nouveau.blacklist=1     is the boot option you need, there are loads of guides online on how you can apply boot options
[05:31] <RP64> right so first is adding that boot option, which a guide will tell me how
[05:31] <RP64> next step is going into ubuntu with that boot option and then finding update for nvidia drivers?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> RP64: yes
[05:31] <RP64> so only 2 steps?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> buhman: what is the distro / OS you are running?
[05:31] <RP64> only 2? you said yes when I only said first
[05:32] <RP64> so i cant tell
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> RP64: add the option to boot with and you will geta disaply, fully update and reboot, then if you get the same again, re-apply the option and install the nvidia proprietary driver
[05:32] <buhman> ActionParsnip: GNU/Linux
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> buhman: which distro?
[05:32] <arghx> buhman: dpkg -l libc6 | tail -1
[05:32] <RP64> ActionParsnip: OK thanks bra
[05:33] <buhman> ii  libc6                                2.13-21                      Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> buhman: what is the output of:  cat /proc/version
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> buhman: cat /etc/*-release     will also tell us good things'
[05:34] <amithkk> Oh COME ON
[05:35] <amithkk> even this room is silenced?
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> buhman: are you using wrt in your router?
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> amithkk: ?
[05:35] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: I think he has a lag problem
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: looks like it
[05:35] <amithkk> the ubuntu room: the only place where you can *always* get activity
[05:35] <amithkk> paulus68:  i do not
[05:36] <rs2k> Hello
[05:36] <paulus68> amithkk: then what is your issue
[05:36] <cody__> how how do i compile a file name tibia920.tgz it should be something sipple like xcfe something file name
[05:36] <amithkk> nvm
[05:36] <arghx> amithkk: do you have a ubuntu problem?
[05:36] <amithkk> nah
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> amithkk: its the official supoprt channel of the fastest growing distro, what did you expect ;)
[05:36] <arghx> cody__: a .tgz file is a tar gz archive. like a zip or rar. you need to unpack it
[05:36] <amithkk> my computer is OLD
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> cody__: extract it then look at the contents
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> amithkk: I have oldies too :)
[05:37] <buhman> Linux version 3.0 (zack@foo) (gcc version 4.6.1 20110819 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 30 08:53:25 CEST 2011
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> cody__: http://www.tibia.com/support/?subtopic=faq&question=startlinux   it doesn't need compiling
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> buhman: then you are using Oneiric, right?
[05:37] <cody__> ur right
[05:38] <cody__> its easy
[05:38] <cody__> ok thanks
[05:38] <buhman> ActionParsnip: compiled my own kernel because I didn't like the stock one
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> buhman: we cannot support self compiled kernels here
[05:38] <buhman> that's silliness
[05:39] <buhman> I can't trust vendor compiled kernel
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> buhman: no its quite reasonable, the amount of possible options yo could have set and unset is astronomical
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> buhman: to diagnose an issue with YOUR set of options would take months if not years to get to the bottom of
[05:39] <arghx> buhman: and #ubuntu can't trust you to compiled a working kernel. it seems #ubuntu is right. recreate the problem with a stock kernel
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> buhman: this channel only supports the apps installed from the packages in the official repos
[05:40] <buhman> and yet #gentoo does a quite nice job of helping their users; sounds quite unreasonable
[05:40] <paulus68> buhman:perhaps you need to try gentoo if you want to compile your own kernel
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> buhman: I suggest you ask in #linux
[05:40] <buhman> perhaps they aren't as concerned about making sure you use their distribution they way they want you to
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> buhman: not my policy I'm afraid, channel policy
[05:41] <buhman> ActionParsnip: what http://goo.gl/cEF1w ?
[05:42] <buhman> ActionParsnip: I see that nowhere on there
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> buhman: you can ask in #ubuntu-ops if you like....
[05:42] <buhman> so now this is a kick/ban/quite-able issue?
[05:42] <buhman> quiet*
[05:42] <arghx> ActionParsnip: I suggest you stop arguing. it's pointless by now
[05:42] <IdleOne> custom kernels can't be supported in here because there is no way to know what you messed up.
[05:43] <buhman> IdleOne: again, "no way" seems innaccurate. gentoo does a pretty decent job of supporting that, as an example
[05:43] <IdleOne> go ask #gentoo in that case
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> buhman: example accepted, I've also used gentoo with great result, but custom kernels aren't supported here
[05:44] <paulus68> buhman: as suggested compile your own gentoo kernel
[05:44] <buhman> paulus68: gentoo kernels are more or less exactly the same as the mainline kernel
[05:45] <buhman> paulus68: upstream
[05:45] <paulus68> buhman: agreed however you are able to adapt x number of settings which makes it hard to give support the correct way
[05:46] <buhman> ActionParsnip: there we go; finally failed
[05:46] <buhman> ActionParsnip: didn't work; what next?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> buhman: your kernel and therefore the modules you also made, are not supported here
[05:47] <rs2k> I've been using CentOS 5.X as a LAMP server for a few years now. I've been considering switching to Ubuntu 10.04 because it seems more packages that I use than CentOS does.
[05:47] <buhman> what, because now you're claiming I messed with them somehow?
[05:47] <buhman> what's the difference if I compile ath9k vs the ubuntu package managers?
[05:48] <IdleOne> buhman: you can continue arguing in here which won't get you anywhere or try ##linux
[05:48] <buhman> of course I'd ask there first; nobody seems to have any ideas
[05:48] <arghx> buhman: does the standard ubuntu kernel have the same problem?
[05:49] <buhman> arghx: yes
[05:49] <paulus68> buhman: no we are not saying you messed arround we are only informing you that we don't support customised kernels
[05:49] <rs2k> Is there a list somewhere that can show what difference there are between CentOS and Ubuntu?
[05:49] <arghx> ath9k is a bit of a work in progress unfortunately
[05:50] <buhman> more or less, it all boils down to being roughly the same source, and things would either work or not work depending on whether or not you selected it
[05:50] <buhman> same build process otherwise
[05:51] <buhman> because my wireless is working (to some extent), it would be reasonable to conclude that I was successful
[05:51] <buhman> and that the problem lies somewhere else, like in the ubuntu configuration
[05:51] <urlin2u> rs2k, not a comprehensive one no.
[05:51] <arghx> buhmanyou aren't a programmer, right?
[05:51] <buhman> arghx: more of this "you messed with the kernel" nonsense?
[05:52] <arghx> no. more of "you don#t have a clue what you are talking about. but you#re quite entertaining talking about things you don't have a clue. I think I'll get the popcorn"
[05:53] <buhman> the more likely case would be that I forgot to compile ath9k or something, and that that module is completely unavaliable (not the case)
[05:53] <urlin2u> rs2k, 3 distros available with 4 standardd esktops in ubuntu knd of hard to have a list.
[05:53] <urlin2u> desktops*
[05:53] <buhman> unless I went messing around in that one networking components section, there's not much else to mess up
[05:53] <rs2k> Thanks urlin2u. I'm at the stage where everything I know about running the server is from writing down things I've learned from scouring the net when a problem comes up.
[05:54] <buhman> building the kernel is a very straightforward and easy process
[05:54] <buhman> nothing magical about it
[05:55] <rs2k> I've done things like enable test repos and built programs from source to get things running (like murmur and ICE) when I know ubuntu already has packages available.
[05:56] <rs2k> I'm wondering how much of a security or stabilty risk my server is now.
[05:56] <buhman> just amounts to make menuconfig && make %% make modules_install ; simple
[05:57] <buhman> &&*
[05:57] <buhman> then copying the compiled image to /boot, kexec, off you go
[05:58] <arghx> buhman: this is a very bad and terminally stupid way to do it
[05:58] <arghx> buhman: please look at kernel-package
[05:58] <buhman> arghx: oh? you disagree with the standard kernel build process?
[05:59] <IdleOne> !ot
[05:59] <buhman> think the utilities provided with the mainline kernel aren't good enough for your precious distribution?
[05:59] <buhman> can't be stained with things not from the repositories?
[05:59] <buhman> oh, sorry, someone already said that earlier
[06:00] <buhman> IdleOne: I don't know how your expected to use your installation without modifying it
[06:01] <RP64_> Hello mr action are you there sir
[06:01] <arghx> buhman: it clearly shows you have no clue what kernel-package is and what it does.and you have neither any clue how grub2 works
[06:01] <buhman> I guess the moment you boot it it's no longer in a pristine condition suitable for diagnosis
[06:01] <RP64_> mr action I have a peculiar development if it interests you
[06:01] <rs2k> Other than the syntaxt difference, is there much of a difference between yum and apt-get? I've only ever used yum to install, update, and remove packages.
[06:01] <buhman> arghx: I'm guessing something similar to make-kpgk
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: wassup?  please use TAB to complete nicks too, it highlights my name
[06:01] <buhman> make-kpkg
[06:02] <RP64_> ActionParsnip: hey cool so basically what happened was i was reading the link you sent me
[06:02] <arghx> do you know where make-kpkg comes from? apprently not
[06:03] <buhman> arghx: the kernels reside in /boot, do they not?
[06:03] <RP64_> then at the very end an ubuntuforums mod had this link talking about a new thing called boot repair GUI which does the same thing as manually entering all that text, thing is , in its options for "add a kernel option", it doesn't have the one you said
[06:03] <buhman> arghx: debian
[06:03] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  And so, I don't have that in it, I mean there's probably a way to add it, however do you think the option of nomodeset would do the same thing?
[06:03] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  because that's one of the preset ones
[06:03] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  I'm not an exceptionally lazy person I am just sleep deprived at the moment
[06:04] <arghx> RP64_: just try it?
[06:04] <RP64_> o _  o ?
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: you only need to blacklist the nouveau driver, you will then use the nv driver and get a display, you are getting waay too hung up on nomodeset. I ONLY ave that link as it shows how to apply boot options
[06:04] <RP64_> arghx: but if I do that without knowing for sure, it could screw up my whole install i think
[06:04] <arghx> you could have done it by the time you wrote all that stuff in here
[06:04] <arghx> RP64_: you don't think it seems to me
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: the fact it says nomodeset is of no value to you, the METHOD is the ony thing you want from the guide
[06:05] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  Oh, I didn't really understand the whole point of your instructions then, I thought nouveau was the name of a kernel option
[06:05] <arghx> ActionParsnip: would nouveau run without KMS?
[06:05] <RP64_> arghx: I do think but like I said I am very sleep deprived at the moment
[06:05] <arghx> !nouveau
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: no, nouveau is an open source nvidia driver, the bootoption:  nouveau.blacklist=1    tells the kernel to never load it
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> arghx: not sure, I don't get into driver modules that deep tbh
[06:06] <RP64_> ActionParsnip: Oh, well , I am really not good at this, I have no clue how to add "nouveau.blacklist=1" as a bootoption, because in that forum conversation they were only talking about how to add nomodeset kernel option
[06:07] <arghx>  oh well, sleep time
[06:07] <RP64_> arghx: goodnight
[06:08] <buhman> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/484898/ ; why do I keep disconnected, and what's reason 1?
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: ok we can do it a different way, boot the OS and hold SHIFT. When the Grub menu shows. Press 'e'   and you will see the boot options. Delete the word:  quiet splash   and in the sAME place, write: nouveau.blacklist=1    then press ENTER to continue the boot
[06:09] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  OH OK perfect, and after that I'll install updates, which will include update to Nvidia drivers AKA fix the problem of black screen, then I'll reboot doing the same thing and replace nouveau.blacklist=1 with quiet splash again?
[06:09] <Chris3> I am trying to install Abobe Acrobat Reader.  I download the .bin file from the adobe site.  Then what do I do with it?
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: itsliterally THAT easy
[06:09] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  wow thats awesome but is my second step correct too ?
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> Chris3: mark it as executable and run it in a terminal with sudo. It is a program
[06:10] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: we had the problem with :386 yesterdays, didn`t we?
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: you may not need to blacklist with the updated driver. But yes you may need to re-add the option
[06:10] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: the problem is: ia32-libs depends on that stuff, so gets installed automatically
[06:10] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: just in case another user asks again
[06:10] <amithkk> any windows users around here ;)
[06:11] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: try #microsoft
[06:11] <fritsch> amithkk: sorry #microsoft
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> amithkk: or ##windows
[06:11] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  in other words may need to remove the nouveau.blacklist=1 afterwards, and may need to re add that old option too, by the way if I DO need to do those things how will it let me know?
[06:11] <pumazz> is there a program or something to download streaming videos like realplayer does on windows?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: you won't need to remove it, its only a one shot addition as its not in any confi files, you only added it for this boot
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> pumazz: vlc can do that
[06:12] <blognewb> hi guys whats an open source simple video editing program that i could use for making youtube clips?
[06:12] <pumazz> with vlc wouldn't i need to know the direct url though
[06:13] <amithkk> blognewb: OpenShot?
[06:13] <amithkk> or
[06:13] <amithkk> KdenLive
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/
[06:15] <blognewb> amithkk also guys could you suggest a cheap hd or sd camera while we're at it? <90$ budget?
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> pumazz: I guess, there may be addons / extensions for your browser. If you want to download youtube videos then I suggest youtube-dl
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: that is offtopic here
[06:16] <pumazz> youtube and other google video results
[06:18] <qnix> keep up the nice work ubuntu :)
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> pumazz: same deal, youtube-dl will do it, or you can use browser addons/extensions
[06:19] <curious_yellow> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NrRbtt2zyI
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> curious_yellow: please don't post stuff like that in here. This is support only
[06:20] <curious_yellow> it was kinda dead - my bad
[06:20] <curious_yellow> i find this room invaluable
[06:20] <curious_yellow> no disrespect
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> curious_yellow: stuff like that is fine in #ubuntu-offtopic and ##club-ubuntu :D
[06:20] <curious_yellow> thats cool i just posted it in all my channels
[06:20] <curious_yellow> wont do again
[06:20] <curious_yellow> :)
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> thanks ;)
[06:21] <uguuld> i am  now at " Choose and install a graphical interface" part of archlinux install, how do i install xfce, it doesent say nothing in the begginers guide
[06:23] <somsip> uguuld: /join #arch and ask there
[06:24] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  Hey i was AFK im back
[06:24] <Chris3> What would the command look like to run the Acrobat bin file at the command prompt in sudo?
[06:25] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  thanks for ur help man i have no idea how you memorized all of that
[06:25] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  when you don't even need to do it yourself i mean did you memorize all procedures for problems in ubuntu?
[06:26] <herr-gabriel> hello. is it possible to prevent a user from seeing computers that share the same network?
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: experience is the way I remember stuff
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: and howto guides I give folks
[06:27] <SilentDis> herr-gabriel: what do you mean by "see"?
[06:28] <herr-gabriel> when I choose the "network" folder I am able to see and connect to most (if not all) available network volumes / computers. this should be prevented.
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> herr-gabriel: if you remove it from the sambashare group, it may stop it. You  can always re-add it back if it doesn't achieve the desired result
[06:29] <hyper_ch> hi there, I currently have the problem that neither firefox nor chromium is being started - I get this error  symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: undefined symbol: gdk_error_trap_pop_ignored
[06:29] <Chris3> Does anyone have patience for a newbie?  I am trying to install an Adobe Acrobat from a bin file.  I am at a command prompt, and in the correct dir. Sudo is installed.  What do I do now?
[06:29] <SilentDis> herr-gabriel: turn off the shares on the remote computers.  alternately, don't share them without username/password.
[06:29] <fritsch> Chris3: chmod +x "the bin file name"
[06:29] <fritsch> Chris3: sudo ./"the bin file name"
[06:29] <fritsch> Chris3: both withouth the \" \"
[06:29] <SilentDis> Chris3: why do it from a bin?
[06:29] <fritsch> Chris3: please remember that this is not good for package management
[06:30] <fritsch> Chris3: you can use the package from partner repo
[06:30] <Chris3> fritsch: send me in the right direction.  Parnter repo?
[06:30] <fritsch> Chris3: can you find acrobat reader in software center?
[06:30] <fritsch> Chris3: what version of ubuntu are you running? natty?
[06:30] <herr-gabriel> SilentDis: this can't be done. I'm setting up some sort of KIOSK computer with a frozen system state and limited control over the system itself (no sudo etc.)
[06:31] <herr-gabriel> ActionParsnip: the user is not in the sambashare group
[06:31] <Chris3> fritsch: It's the latest version.  Let me go find Acrobat in the software center and see.
[06:31] <User123abc> does anyone know why switching to and from X and tty is much slower with nvidia proprietary drivers than with nouveau? Instant with one, couple of seconds with the other.
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> herr-gabriel: gotcha
[06:31] <fritsch> Chris3: latest stable version?
[06:32] <Chris3> fritsch:  Yes, the latest stable ver.  And yes, I see Acrobat in the software center now...
[06:32] <fritsch> User123abc: because no kms support from nvidia
[06:32] <fritsch> Chris3: just install it
[06:32] <fritsch> Chris3: and have fun
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> User123abc: they are ironically slower in general to use like that, as well as load at boot (hence no boot splash)
[06:32] <herr-gabriel> ActionParsnip: but it is still possible to access the remote locations
[06:32] <SilentDis> herr-gabriel: if you open it, it will be there (linux  network tools are good at finding such things).  your options are to not open it at all, or require username/passwords to get in.  if you just need to dump files from machine to machine, use sftp (ftp over ssh) with keys already on each machine (no passwords, no ability to 'see' them)
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> herr-gabriel: not sure how you'd do it really tbh
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> herr-gabriel: there will be a way
[06:33] <Chris3> fritsch: Thank you very much.  What is my best course of action when I can't find things in the software center?
[06:33] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: you could block smb port stuff
[06:33] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: withouth them open none can be found
[06:33] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: just two commands of iptables
[06:33] <herr-gabriel> fritsch: sounds promising.
[06:34] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: try to block port 135 TCP and Port 445 TCP
[06:34] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: outgoing and incoming
[06:34] <User123abc> fritsch: got it, thanks.
[06:34] <herr-gabriel> fritsch: will do that. brb :)
[06:34] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  Hey, so that all covered step #1 perfectly but please excuse my severly tired self , I don't remember step #2, it is precisely to use synaptic to update Nvidia drivers, and then reboot after that installation of new drivers? And afterwards, the boot settings will reset to normal because nothing was added to "confi" files, right?
[06:34] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: if your computer should not be seen, just block these ports on your machine
[06:35] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: i would feel more gentle, if i knew what your use case is :-)
[06:36] <User123abc> ActionParsnip: yeah, I can hardly justify using them, but I keep them around for all the 3d games that I never actually play
[06:36] <Chris3> fritsch: Thanks so much for the info.  What is best to do when things are not in the software center?
[06:36] <fritsch> Chris3: you can look for a ppa
[06:36] <fritsch> !ppa
[06:37] <fritsch> Chris3: but they are unsupported, too - but at least they have package management and can be uninstalled with ppa-purge
[06:37] <Chris3> fritsch: Thank you very much
[06:38] <fritsch> Chris3: np
[06:38] <glaucon> Anyone here know an easy way to disable mouse and keyboard?
[06:38] <herr-gabriel> herr-gabriel: I am working at a local german streetnewspaper and we are providing our clients with two iMacs to do stuff on the internet and write applications, search for jobs and so on. But we want to remove the iMacs since they're about to die and replace them with Ubuntu based machines. I use ofris to freeze the system and the user logs in automatically. So basically: the users of this KIOSK should not be able to enter the entire
[06:38] <herr-gabriel> company network because some WILL mess with the files. Sadly I can not bypass any switches or routers to give them their own network
[06:38] <herr-gabriel> that's basically my cause
[06:38] <fritsch> glaucon: put the cable out
[06:38] <glaucon> I want to disable server side input when I'm connectin to my home computer through VNC...
[06:38] <fritsch> glaucon: ah i see
[06:39] <glaucon> yah.
[06:39] <fritsch> glaucon: mmh this depends on the vnc implementation
[06:39] <fritsch> glaucon: because the use a layer to your real mouse
[06:39] <fritsch> glaucon: it could be a problem?
[06:39] <smokeycastle> herr-gabriel cant you set them up on a vlan or something?
[06:39] <Arbition> I am attempting to install ubuntu 11.04 in a virtual machine running EFI. It installs fine, but doesn't seem to do anything when it boots, as in, doesn't accept input properly and does not start X successfully
[06:40] <fritsch> glaucon: your mouse movement are redirected over the real mouse i think
[06:40] <Chris3> !ppa
[06:40] <fritsch> glaucon: so - no real working idea
[06:40] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: having them on the same network
[06:40] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: is not good anyways
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> glaucon: you can unload the modules for them but you will need to ssh in to reload them as you will have no way to load them back in (short of a reboot)
[06:41] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: are you sure that mouse will still working?
[06:41] <massi> ciao qualcuno puo aiutarmi
[06:42] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: i do not really know how the external devices are mapped in, because xserver listens on devices?
[06:42] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: if you are in karlsruhe, i can help you directly
[06:42] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: hehe
[06:42] <Arbition> Has anyone had some experience running ububtu in VMs?
[06:42] <Arbition> *ubuntu
[06:43] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  Hey im sorry to bother you because I know you're sort of carrying everyone on your back atm, but I just had a last question to clarify... I mean is the last step precisely to use synaptic to update Nvidia drivers, and tehn reboot after that installation of new drivers? And afterwards, the boot settings will reset to normal because nothing was added to "confi" files, right?
[06:44] <RP64_> cus I wrote it all down up till this point i just need to clarify what to write last
[06:44] <fritsch> RP64_: yes this should be the case. the kernel parameter was temporarily
[06:44] <fritsch> RP64_: i would try to install nvidia binary with jockey first
[06:44] <fritsch> RP64_: System -> Hardware drivers
[06:44] <herr-gabriel> fritsch: hamburg ;)
[06:45] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: ah okay, that is little far
[06:45] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: so you basically want, that the ubuntu users do not see the "windows network"?
[06:45] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: i would just uninstall the libs doing this
[06:45] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: and block the ports
[06:45] <RP64_> fritsch: hold on what's the benefit of installing nvidia binary with jockey ( I have no clue what any of that is ) compared to downloading the new nvidia drivers?
[06:45] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: so no one comes out
[06:45] <herr-gabriel> fritsch: what libs would that be?
[06:45] <fritsch> RP64_: do not download the sh script
[06:46] <RP64_> fritsch: don't know what an sh script is either
[06:46] <fritsch> herr-gabriel: at least: smbclient python-smbc libsmbclient
[06:46] <fritsch> RP64_: nvidia binary gives you 3D accelaration
[06:46] <herr-gabriel> fritsch: thanks, will try that
[06:46] <uguuld> how to type the "~" on a american keyboard ?
[06:46] <RP64_> fritsch: So Nvidia binary is the name of the downloadable extension to your drivers which will add onto the updated Nvidia drivers I download?
[06:47] <RP64_> fritsch: because right now my whole problem is my computer just sits at a black screen of death when logged onto ubuntu
[06:47] <RP64_> fritsch: fresh after install
[06:47] <fritsch> RP64_: jep - i know
[06:47] <geirha> uguuld: left of 1 iirc
[06:47] <fritsch> RP64_: please login - go to hardware drivers and choose nvidia-current
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: get fully updated, then reboot. Have you done that?
[06:48] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  hey no, I just wanted to clarify that my final steps were to do that um and then yeah im just about to do that
[06:48] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  however fritsch has a point of something to do with nvidia binary install that INSTEAD fritsch didnt you say that?
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: get updates and reboot, see how it goes from there
[06:48] <jonese> I have a script placed in /home/user/folder. I want to execute this script without having to cd into that catalog each time - where do I put it?
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: I recommend getting updates first, then install the driver
[06:48] <fritsch> RP64_: do what ActionParsnip says it is the correct way
[06:48] <wyang_> i want to others view my desktop
[06:48] <geirha> uguuld: With shift
[06:49] <wyang_> how could i do this?
[06:49] <SilentDis> jonese: anywhere in your $path
[06:49] <fritsch> wyang_: there is desktop sharing integrated
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> jonese: you can make an alias, or you can copy the script to /usr/bin
[06:49] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  OK thanks dudes ill try it
[06:49] <fritsch> wyang_: Applications -> Internet
[06:49] <jonese> SilentDis, ActionParsnip: thanks! :)
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> jonese: or you can add the folder to the end of your $PATH
[06:51] <wyang_> fritsch, remote desktop viewer?
[06:52] <wyang_> fritsch: this is used to view others
[06:52] <wyang_> not let others to view my desktop
[06:52] <netlab> hello
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> wyang_: there is vino in a default install which others can connect to with standard vnc clients
[06:52] <fritsch> wyang_: you have to install http://gnomejournal.org/article/29/remote-desktop-administration-using-vino
[06:52] <fritsch> wyang_: vino
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> wyang_: VNC has zero security so I suggest you use an SSH tunnel if they are connecting over WwW
[06:53] <jefimenko> is there a bug in apt pinning in 10.04? i'm trying to use a particular package from natty, but i cannot for the life of me get it to work
[06:53] <jefimenko> please see: http://pastebin.com/QWCaVA16
[06:53] <dr_willis> ive been ysing teamviewer a lot lately ;)
[06:54] <jefimenko> i think it has to do with the package name "libsqlite3-0"
[06:54] <jefimenko> i think it might be confusing apt
[06:54] <wyang_> ActionParsnip, you suggest to use vino?
[06:54] <jefimenko> other packages work fine
[06:54] <dr_willis> wya
[06:54] <wyang_> ActionParsnip: apt-get install vino?
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> wyang_: I don't like VNC at all, but it suits your needs and it's part of a stock install. So yes
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> wyang_: it's already installed
[06:54] <dr_willis> wyang_:  this in a lan or over the internet?
[06:54] <fritsch> jefimenko: apt-cache policy libsqlite3-0
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> wyang_: that command needs prefixing with sudo, users cannot install apps
[06:55] <adante> hi, i have plugged in a usb key to my computer, but i cannot do anything with it? what do i ened to do to use it? http://pastebin.com/3zWuzbNc
[06:55] <jefimenko> fritsch: i did that in the pastebin. please check it (it shows not found)
[06:55] <fritsch> jefimenko: please pastebin the real content of the test.pref file
[06:55] <massi> ciao qualcuno puo aiutarmi
[06:55] <fritsch> jefimenko: cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/test.pref
[06:55] <dr_willis> adante:  what filesystem is on it?
[06:55] <adante> dr_willis: i can't tell
[06:56] <fritsch> jefimenko: because of the ">" to be sure
[06:56] <adante> dr_willis: from dmesg log it suggests it attaches as /dev/sde but i can't fdisk this
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> !it | massi
[06:56] <zen_> hi anybody please help....... install ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 but can't find skype.... as per few posts also enabled multiarch but still didn't get it
[06:56] <jefimenko> fritsch: http://pastebin.com/wTM0Le94
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> zen_: ask in #ubuntu+1 for anything Oneiric based until release day
[06:56] <zen_> k
[06:56] <SilentDis> !beta | zen_
[06:56] <dr_willis> adante:  sudo fdisk -l /dev/sde fails?
[06:57] <jefimenko> fritsch: i just did a fresh copy&paste for that
[06:57] <SilentDis> stupid bot!
[06:57] <fritsch> jefimenko: thx
[06:57] <adante> dr_willis: it just says nothing
[06:57] <SilentDis> zen_: head over to #ubuntu+1 :)
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> SilentDis: how is she stupid?
[06:57] <adante> dr_willis: fdisk /dev/sde says "Unable to open /dev/sde" ( as per pastebin)
[06:57] <fritsch> jefimenko: increase priority to 1000
[06:57] <SilentDis> ActionParsnip: I was hoping the !beta would, logically, direct to either +1 or the website.
[06:58] <jefimenko> fritsch: still not found
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> SilentDis: you can suggest factoids if you wish
[06:58] <dr_willis> adante:  you want data from it? or just tring to get it wirking?
[06:58] <fritsch> jefimenko: apt-get update before
[06:58] <SilentDis> ActionParsnip: I know, i actually had a few in there in 6.06 dealing with nvidia drivers, too heh
[06:58] <adante> dr_willis: get data - well i want to check what it is before i wipe, just incase i need it
[06:58] <fritsch> jefimenko: please pastebin your sources.list
[06:59] <jefimenko> fritsch: it's still showing the same: http://pastebin.com/WGHtTWwG
[06:59] <dr_willis> adante:  check out ddrescue guides.
[06:59] <jefimenko> fritsch: that's after a apt-get update
[06:59] <fritsch> jefimenko: i think you do not have the natty sources in sources.list
[06:59] <jefimenko> fritsch: i do, because it works with other packages from natty
[06:59] <fritsch> jefimenko: so it cannot find the pin
[07:00] <jefimenko> fritsch: i can show change test.pref right now to a different package and show you the policy result,. one second...
[07:00] <jefimenko> fritsch: http://pastebin.com/hJUETNkY
[07:01] <jefimenko> that's after changing the package from libsqlite3-0 to opennebula
[07:01] <fritsch> jefimenko: ah
[07:01] <fritsch> jefimenko: the first rule could stop the second from working
[07:01] <fritsch> jefimenko: but wait, no
[07:02] <jefimenko> fritsch: it should still at least list it in the apt-cache policy though, right?
[07:02] <jefimenko> fritsch: it doesn't find the package at all
[07:02] <fritsch> jefimenko: jep, this makes me wonder
[07:02] <fritsch> jefimenko: what tells apt-cache policy if you keep the libsqlite3-0 entry out?
[07:02] <fritsch> jefimenko: then it should list the natty one, am i right?
[07:02] <jefimenko> fritsch: you mean, without test.pref at all?
[07:03] <jefimenko> fritsch: or if i allow ALL natty packages
[07:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: nope just without the libsqlite3-0 entry
[07:03] <jefimenko> fritsch: let me try
[07:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: you have the default policy in the first block
[07:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: which says: natty must be -1
[07:04] <jefimenko> fritsch: are you asking me to change -1 to 1000 then?
[07:04] <fritsch> jefimenko: nope
[07:04] <fritsch> jefimenko: keep it like it is
[07:04] <fritsch> jefimenko: just remove the special handling for libmysql package
[07:04] <fritsch> jefimenko: and have a look what apt-cache policy reports then
[07:05] <jefimenko> fritsch: right now libsqlite3-0 isn't there at all. the contents of the file looks like: http://pastebin.com/HUYSdVJt
[07:05] <fritsch> jefimenko: and apt-cache policy?
[07:06] <jefimenko> fritsch: and apt-cache policy shows this for libsqlite3-0: http://pastebin.com/awnL8wNi
[07:06] <jefimenko> fritsch: so it's not picking it up at all
[07:06] <fritsch> jefimenko: mmh i cannot understand
[07:06] <fritsch> jefimenko: normally you should get: -1 for the natty version
[07:06] <fritsch> jefimenko: and 500 for the default version
[07:06] <jefimenko> fritsch: i know :(
[07:06] <fritsch> jefimenko: because of the first entry Package: *
[07:07] <z3bra_> Bonjour =)
[07:07] <jefimenko> fritsch: it doesn't see libsqlite3-0 at all from natty
[07:07] <fritsch> jefimenko: it is from main though - you have the main sources integrated?
[07:08] <fritsch> jefimenko: in apt sources list?
[07:08] <fritsch> jefimenko: sorry, cannot help
[07:08] <jefimenko> fritsch: ! that might be it
[07:08] <jefimenko> fritsch: i might only have universe here
[07:08] <fritsch> jefimenko: hehe
[07:08] <fritsch> jefimenko: so go for main :-)
[07:08] <jefimenko> fritsch: wow, thanks. let me check it
[07:09] <fritsch> jefimenko: because of this i wanted to have the sources.list above
[07:09] <z3bra_> Got a question... Can I manage an Apache server installed on windows server 2003 via my ubuntu ?
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> z3bra_: sure, you can use rdesktop and RDP on as you normally would
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> !find libsqlite
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> !info libsqlite3-0 natty
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> jefimenko: ^
[07:10] <z3bra_> Okay thanks ^
[07:11] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: if "main" would be colorized, this would be an advantage
[07:11] <jefimenko> fritsch: i know, i feel really bad about that because i just saw the other package pulled in
[07:11] <jefimenko> fritsch: that was it
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: main is enabled by default
[07:12] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: not in his setup
[07:12] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: he is running lucid and pinning packages from natty
[07:12] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: to selectively upgrade
[07:12] <jefimenko> fritsch: i'm in lucid, so natty was being pulled in selectively
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: makes sense though :), could suggest it
[07:12] <fritsch> jefimenko: i know :-)
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: oh jeeze, that's going to make a world of mess, is not advised and not in any way supported
[07:13] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: user asked :-)
[07:13] <jefimenko> hehe
[07:13] <jefimenko> there are bugs in natty that are show stoppers
[07:13] <fritsch> jefimenko: your upgrade path is broken then
[07:13] <jefimenko> otherwise, i would upgrade
[07:13] <fritsch> jefimenko: l m n because you are overjumping maverick
[07:13] <jefimenko> hmm
[07:14] <fritsch> jefimenko: but - this is not a problem
[07:14] <fritsch> jefimenko: with pinning you also can downgrade
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> jefimenko: mixing debs between releases is not supported, you will break your OS
[07:14] <fritsch> jefimenko: to your lucid libs before an upgrade
[07:14] <fritsch> jefimenko: though it feels like 10 years ago, when i use debian unstabel with experimental mixed
[07:15] <fritsch> jefimenko: daily breakage at 11pm
[07:15] <jefimenko> i'm actually trying to use opennebula from a later release than lucid
[07:15] <jefimenko> the version in lucid is very old and has bugs
[07:15] <fritsch> jefimenko: lets see for a ppa
[07:15] <fritsch> jefimenko: https://launchpad.net/~opennebula-ubuntu/+archive/ppa
[07:16] <fritsch> jefimenko: there is 2.0 for 2010
[07:16] <jefimenko> :)
[07:16] <fritsch> jefimenko: what version is in natty?
[07:16] <jefimenko> natty has 2.0.1
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> jefimenko: then report the bugs and the package will be updated
[07:16] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  Hey man, it totally didn't work D:
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> RP64: did you get updated?
[07:16] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  what happened was I did what you said, booted it and it didn't fix the black screen problem
[07:16] <RP64> it loads onto ubuntu for like half a sec, I can see the desktop and move the mouse everythings good
[07:17] <RP64> then 0.5 seconds later, black screen of death
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> RP64: did you get updated?
[07:17] <RP64> no obviously not I can't even see the screen!
[07:17] <RP64> lol
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> RP64: are you on a wiredconnection>
[07:17] <RP64> the nouveau.blacklist=1 didn't work is my point
[07:17] <RP64> im on wireless
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> RP64: is the system a laptop?
[07:17] <RP64> but , I can't see the screen, I can't log into the system
[07:18] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all, can anyone give me a hand with nmap?
[07:18] <RP64> yeah its a laptop but its a desktop replacement laptop, huge and meant for gaming qosmio x300
[07:18] <fritsch> RP64: switch terminal with ctl alt F1
[07:18] <jefimenko> ActionParsnip: i can report the bugs, but my first priority is to get this functional for work
[07:18] <RP64> fritsch: I dont get to see any terminal, I can't even log into my account and see my desktop
[07:18] <fritsch> RP64: login and install nvidia-current
[07:18] <RP64> fritsch: I can't log in!
[07:18] <fritsch> RP64: press ctl alt F1
[07:18] <RP64> fritsch: I said this 9 times
[07:18] <fritsch> RP64: you did not read
[07:18] <RP64> fritsch: yo the nouveau.blacklist-1 doesn't work
[07:18] <jefimenko> ActionParsnip: i figured it would be a long time until the newer version is backported to lucid. it's a new major release available in natty
[07:19] <RP64> fritsch: I did read, you're saying log in, but I can't log in
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> RP64: if you hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, you can then boot into safemode graphics from there
[07:19] <fritsch> RP64: i said: press ctl alt F1
[07:19] <RP64> fritsch: at which point?
[07:19] <fritsch> RP64: to switch to a non graphical terminal
[07:19] <fritsch> RP64: when it gets black
[07:19] <mamooth> Hi there
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> jefimenko: mixing packages between releases is not supported. There is a REASON they are segregated like that, you will break your deps and get a big mess. I suggest you simply upgrade to Natty and you will be fine
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> hi mamooth
[07:20] <RP64> ActionParsnip: so do you mean shift at ubuntu's booting or when I turn the computer on
[07:20] <RP64> fritsch: OK Ill try that thanks
[07:20] <mamooth> I have some issue with gnome-shell and blender. The WM is taking over blender for hotkeys. Is it an expected behaviour?
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> RP64: as soon as the system starts to boot, just like when you added the nouveau.blacklist=1 boot option
[07:20] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  Oh, in that case I didn't need to press shift
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> RP64: you just select the recovery mode options

[07:21] <FloodBot1> pippeli_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:21] <RP64> wow anyways,
[07:21] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  I didn't need to hold down shift, holding down shift just kept it at the very first sort of non-OS dos type thing when my computer first starts, and basically all I had to do was press E at my grub screen which normally loaded without having to hold down shift
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> RP64: ok then choose the recovery mode from the same screen
[07:23] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  oh OK hold on im writing you're and fitchs ideas down
[07:24] <fritsch> RP64: the basic problem you have, i think is, that nouveau does not correctly support your graphics card. So it hangs when you login. ActionParsnip let you install all updates in order to fix this. but it didnt.
[07:25] <RP64> Oh, I see
[07:25] <fritsch> RP64: so now the way to go is. start the rescue session and install another driver. if you can boot with the parameter ActionParsnip gave you, then you can just login in normal mode
[07:25] <fritsch> RP64: and install hardware drivers by System -> Advanced -> Hardware drivers
[07:25] <fritsch> RP64: this should fix it
[07:26] <RP64> thanks im just writing it all down lol u guys have pro memories
[07:26] <fritsch> RP64: writing down - like with a pen?
[07:26] <RP64> yea lol
[07:27] <RP64> oooo no technology oh no! right , ? lol
[07:27] <fritsch> RP64: could you boot before with the "parameter" ActionParsnip mentioned?
[07:27] <AsdDsa> Do you know any trial vps service?
[07:27] <RP64> well hold on im just writing your idea first then ill re-read all the stuff he said
[07:27] <RP64> but wait what do you mean
[07:27] <RP64> you mean the nouveaua.blacklist=1?
[07:27] <RP64> -minus extra a
[07:28] <fritsch> RP64: jep
[07:28] <fritsch> RP64: did this work?
[07:28] <RP64> oh no it didnt work it just went to black screen
[07:28] <fritsch> RP64: start rescue session
[07:28] <fritsch> RP64: choose drop to a shell
[07:29] <RP64> oh , OK and then?
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> RP64: choose rescue session then select safe mode vga
[07:29] <fritsch> RP64: enter the commands: sudo jockey-text -a
[07:29] <RP64> Agh! 2 conflicting instructions lol
[07:30] <fritsch> RP64: if this does not do anything, enter: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> RP64: its a little easier to move the system so you can get a wired link and you can easily update via a wired link
[07:30] <fritsch> RP64: and after this: sudo reboot
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: its a wireless link which hasn't been established yet
[07:30] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: get a cable - it is not easy to mess with iwconfig and stuff
[07:31] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: ups :-)
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: ;)
[07:31] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: i think iwconfig wpa supplicant is not being doable with irc instructions
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> RP64: a wired link makes this all easaier
[07:31] <RP64> lol yea wouldnt i know it but im using landlords connection
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: i've not done it. I've always used wicd for my cli systems
[07:31] <uman> hi, I have a dual-monitor setup. I'd like to be able to watch a fullscreen Flash video in one monitor and interact with windows in another monitor. But when I attempt to click on windows in my other monitor, the video exits fullscreen. Is there a way I can accomplish this?
[07:31] <fritsch> RP64: we must get your system normally bootet
[07:32] <fritsch> RP64: you have an nvidia card, right?
[07:32] <RP64> haha yea thx guys , OK so im writing down all 3 Ideas u presented
[07:32] <RP64> ill try 1 after another
[07:32] <RP64> yea nvidia geforce
[07:32] <tomodachi> uman: i have the same request, but i believe this is a "flash" feature, hard to do anything about
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> RP64: you could boot to the liveCD and chroot to the installed OS... do you get web access in the live CD environment?
[07:32] <fritsch> RP64: nope wait
[07:32] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  im on liveCD right now
[07:32] <uman> tomodachi: Are you certain about this?
[07:32] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  what do you mean chroot to the installed OS
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> RP64: awesome, ok if you run:  sudo fdisk -l   what is the name of the disk, something like /dev/sda is common
[07:33] <tomodachi> uman:  I have one idea though. Dont know if its worth the effort. If you configure to separate X servers it would probably work. But that setup will mean you cant drag windows between your screens
[07:33] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: lets try something other first more easy
[07:33] <fritsch> RP64: go again to your grub manager at boot
[07:33] <fritsch> RP64: press e in the line where quiet and splash is written
[07:34] <fritsch> RP64: put there nomodeset behind
[07:34] <fritsch> RP64: and boot
[07:34] <fritsch> RP64: i think it should not freeze then
[07:34] <uman> tomodachi: ah, makes sense. Not worth the effort though :)
[07:34] <tomodachi> uman: yeah :) its bothersome has h*ll to configure separate x servers in your xorg. But pretty sexy to have independent desktop switching etc.
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> RP64: may work, the nouveau driver will still load, worth a shot though
[07:35] <RP64> hold on im way behind you guys by 1000 years im just writing down the second idea now
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: chroot is easy, 4 commands
[07:35] <fritsch> RP64: nope wait - stop writing
[07:35] <RP64> what, oh ok
[07:35] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: if you know what are you doing, yes
[07:35] <toek> Good morning! I have ubuntu 9.10 and would like to upgrade to 10.04 its a live server with apache running. Is there any reason to why i should not do the upgrade?
[07:36] <fritsch> RP64: it is more important that you understand hwat you are doing
[07:36] <RP64> Oh you're saying I wont haveto go into the shell thing or press E on the grub since I can do it from within the liveCD
[07:36] <fritsch> RP64: so keep all the methods you are writing now
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> toek: you should, karmic support is dead
[07:36] <fritsch> RP64: go to the shell thing be pressing e
[07:36] <uman> tomodachi: Right, but I'm not primarily interested in Ubuntu for the sake of configuring Ubuntu
[07:36] <fritsch> RP64: edit the line with quiet and splash in it
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> RP64: use the nomodeset bootoption like in that guide ubottu gave
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset
[07:36] <uman> tomodachi: so if it's slightly shittier to use but I save a few hours, it's worth it
[07:36] <fritsch> RP64: and place nomodeset behind these params
[07:37] <fritsch> RP64: "nomodeset" withouth the ""
[07:37] <fritsch> RP64: then boot
[07:37] <RP64> hold on im so mind blown im backtracking a bit to the beginning of when u said it was good im on liveCD...
[07:37] <dean> Hi all is anyone in here familiar with k9copy?
[07:37] <RP64> and then wait fritsch are u giving different instructions too ?
[07:37] <toek> i have only ssh access should i just sudo do-release-upgrade?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> RP64: try the nomodeset bootoption, see if it works. if not we can go for the throat and use a chroot
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | toek
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> toek: use the server upgrade method
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> RP64: or did you already try the nomodeset option?
[07:38] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  so you're saying stop backtracking all the stuff written and just do the nomodeset thing to see if it can log me into my ubuntu and let me update the drivers, if that doesn't work come back to here and we'll try other plans?
[07:38] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  no I never tried it lol
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> RP64: try it now, see if its good
[07:38] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  OK I will, thx Ill brb guys thx for your pro help
[07:39] <RP64> OH WAIT!
[07:39] <RP64> one thing is
[07:39] <RP64> if I use the method from that link,
[07:39] <RP64> won't it permanently add the change into the confi files or something
[07:40] <RP64> whereas if I just press E at the grub, and enter it at where it says quiet splash
[07:40] <RP64> thats better? or its both temporary..
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> RP64: no the option is for that one shot
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> RP64: hopefully updates will make things good
[07:41] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  well I am using a GUI program from that link
[07:41] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  is that what you were thinking of as 1 shot?
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> RP64: the nomodeset option you are adding is not persistent in the method you are adding it, you CAN make it persistent butit will only apply to THIS boot. If yo rebot and do not reapply the option, it will boot with the normal options. Ergo 'one shot'
[07:43] <alzania>  hello! I can't write on ntfs partition. what can i do?
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> alzania: that is default in Ubuntu
[07:43] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  OK no probs I was just clarifying you knew I meant I wasn't using methods they had all talked about but rather a recent 2011 post by a mod from japan who posted his own GUI tool
[07:43] <alzania> how can I change it?
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> alzania: conversely, Windows is crippled and cannot write or read ext4 despite the definitions being opensource...
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> alzania: just mount it from nautilus and it should be fully accessible
[07:44] <alzania> i am on kde
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> alzania: dolphin then, same difference
[07:44] <toek> would this be the place to ask about postfix-dovecot?
[07:45]  * ActionParsnip hopes nomodeset sorts it
[07:46] <RP64> haha thanks action i just made that change and im reebooting now ill brb to show u 2 guys
[07:47] <RP64> oh its OK if I deselect "reinstall GRUB" from the options right
[07:47] <RP64> cus GRUB isnt even the problem lol
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> RP64: its a boot option, you set it when you boot. You don't set it then reboot....
[07:47] <RP64> wait,
[07:47] <RP64> no i mean
[07:47] <RP64> im using the GUI tool by the japanese mod
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> RP64: why?
[07:47] <RP64> instead of the methods they talked about in the forum's conversation
[07:47] <RP64> well because its easier and im way tired but i mean i thought it did the exact same thing didnt it ?
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> RP64: you don't need a tool, its a simple boot option change...
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> RP64: press E, type a single word. How is this hard>
[07:48] <RP64> Oh OK soo, forget this tool, reboot into ubuntu press E on the grub, and replace quiet splash with nomodeset?
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> RP64: yes, how is a GUI tool easier than that exactly?
[07:49] <RP64> I thought that was the plan but you guys said to scrap that and I got confused I thought u meant scrap THAT plan, like I siad 3 days and 3 hours of sleep lol
[07:49] <RP64> its not I didnt know that was the plan my bad
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> RP64: we have told you that several times now, its that easy
[07:49] <RP64> OK cool im restarting now and ill do that
[07:49] <RP64> brb
[07:50] <Guest66788> Firefox will not load any content. Can ping and join IRC. What is wrong with firefox?
[07:51] <fritsch> Guest66788: System -> Settings -> Proxy
[07:51] <fritsch> Guest66788: all correct?
[07:51] <Guest66788> I'll check.
[07:51] <fritsch> Guest66788: meaning disabled
[07:52] <Guest66788> "Direct Internet Connection"
[07:52] <fritsch> Guest66788: okay, this is strange
[07:52] <Guest66788> Yes.
[07:52] <fritsch> Guest66788: nslookup www.heise.de is working from shell?
[07:52] <icelure> hello~
[07:52] <ikanobori> G'day. I'm having an issue with adobe-flash-plugin. It is installed but the plugin is not installed in my browers. They are still using gnash. Any hints?
[07:52] <Guest66788> I've been puzzled for a bit now.
[07:52] <ikanobori> I've removed and re-added the package.
[07:52] <fritsch> Guest66788: could you try the nslookup command?
[07:53] <fritsch> Guest66788: are you connected with lan?
[07:53] <Guest66788> Yes nslookup www.heise.de is working
[07:53] <fritsch> Guest66788: ping www.heise.de is working, too?
[07:53] <Guest66788> I am connected through Wi-fi, it's Ad-Hoc to an Andorid running on 1x.
[07:53] <Guest66788> ping works also
[07:53] <Guest66788> been pinging google.
[07:53] <Guest66788> joining irc was another test :\
[07:53] <fritsch> Guest66788: try to go to: https://www.google.de
[07:54] <fritsch> Guest66788: see the s
[07:54] <Guest66788> I will check
[07:54] <fritsch> Guest66788: with firefox
[07:54] <ikanobori> It could be that your provider is trying to block tethering?
[07:54] <fritsch> ikanobori: exactly :-)
[07:54] <Guest66788> No content still...
[07:54] <Guest66788> Hmm...
[07:54] <fritsch> Guest66788: in germany o2 does this
[07:54] <Guest66788> I hope my provider didn't...
[07:54] <Guest66788> MetroPCS
[07:54] <icelure> 试试中文？
[07:55] <fritsch> Guest66788: you can connect, etc. working fine, but no content from web
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Guest66788: what is the output of:  cat /etc/resolv.conf
[07:55] <Guest66788> Exactly..
[07:55] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: resolving is working
[07:55] <paulus68> !cn|icelure
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: cool
[07:55] <icelure> yeah~
[07:55] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: also ping
[07:55] <Guest66788> # Generated by NetworkManager
[07:55] <Guest66788> nameserver 192.168.1.254
[07:55] <Guest66788> Ping works, ms is around 300
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: ah, that knocks my routing issue on the head
[07:55] <ikanobori> Yes but resolving is working anyway.
[07:55] <icelure> I just tried if I can type chinese
[07:56] <fritsch> Guest66788: do you have access to an ssh server?
[07:56] <icelure> It's my first time to use this
[07:56] <fritsch> Guest66788: try ssh -D 7070 user@sshHost
[07:56] <ikanobori> Guest66788: Try `telnet google.com 80`
[07:56] <Guest66788> It dies at waiting for...
[07:56] <fritsch> Guest66788: and set in settings->proxy a socks with localhost 7070
[07:56] <ikanobori> Do you get a connection or not?
[07:56] <Guest66788> No ssh server :\
[07:56] <fritsch> Guest66788: i think this is a  tethering problem then
[07:57] <Guest66788> Connected to google.com.
[07:57] <Guest66788> Escape character is '^]'.
[07:57] <fritsch> Guest66788: this sounds good
[07:57] <Guest66788> Hmm..
[07:57] <fritsch> Guest66788: sudo apt-get update
[07:57] <fritsch> Guest66788: does this work? :-)
[07:57] <Guest66788> I'll check..
[07:58] <Guest66788> Oh yeah!
[07:58] <fritsch> Guest66788: hehe
[07:58] <fritsch> Guest66788: close and reopen firefox
[07:58] <Guest66788> Apt-get is working good :p
[07:58] <Guest66788> I have :\
[07:58] <fritsch> Guest66788: try: sudo apt-get install chromium
[07:58] <Guest66788> I believe the issue is with ff..
[07:58] <fritsch> Guest66788: it could be that they blog "known desktop browsers"
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> fritsch: thats a game ;)  chromium-browser  is the browser
[07:58] <fritsch> ActionParsnip: thx :-)
[07:59] <icelure> sudo rm -rf /  :p
[07:59] <fritsch> Guest66788: chromium-browser
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> !danger
[07:59] <fritsch> hehe, did not know this
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> icelure: don't bother next time
[07:59] <fritsch> came during the last five years
[07:59] <Guest66788> hmm
[07:59] <Guest66788> don't have the repo...
[07:59] <fritsch> Guest66788: it is in main
[07:59] <fritsch> Guest66788: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[08:00] <Guest66788> oh wait
[08:00] <Guest66788> didnt see that part :p
[08:00] <fritsch> Guest66788: universe, but should be there
[08:00] <Guest66788> Annnd away I goo..
[08:00] <Guest66788> Twenty-five minutes...
[08:00] <Guest66788> woo!
[08:00] <fritsch> Guest66788: mmh, this needs to long
[08:00] <Guest66788> It was working fine too..
[08:00] <fritsch> Guest66788: can you install it over another connection?
[08:01] <Guest66788> For the last 3 months..
[08:01] <fritsch> Guest66788: so this could be firefox settings
[08:01] <Guest66788> Unfortunately not.... I am in the boones :\
[08:01] <Guest66788> I assumed
[08:01] <fritsch> Guest66788: you could backup your firefox settings and wipe them
[08:01] <fritsch> Guest66788: just for testing
[08:01] <Guest66788> I have cleared all cookies and settings..
[08:01] <Guest66788> default
[08:01] <fritsch> Guest66788: this is really strange
[08:01] <Guest66788> already have done that much, I hope chromium works :\
[08:02] <Guest66788> Yeah
[08:02] <Guest66788> It's my luck, all the weird stuff happens to me.
[08:02] <fritsch> okay, have fun - i have to  got for work for some hours
[08:02] <fritsch> you can pm me, if it is working - i am very interested on the cause though
[08:02] <paulus68> fritsch: we all do
[08:02] <paulus68> fritsch: however I am at work here lol
[08:02] <fritsch> paulus68: yep, just leave my terminal i meant
[08:03] <RP64_> hey im back
[08:03] <RP64_> it didn't work to my surprise
[08:03] <RP64_> still black screen! ugh
[08:04] <RP64_> then I tried the method of going in to the shell with networking, and doing sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and it couldnt connect because of it being wireless
[08:04] <RP64_> so... is there another way? l ol
[08:04] <conntrack-> -_O
[08:04] <ikanobori> ActionParsnip: You can't do that anymore anyways.
[08:04] <ikanobori> ActionParsnip: You need to pass --no-preserve-root
[08:04] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  hey bro back
[08:05] <RP64_> fritsch are you here too
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: word
[08:06] <RP64_> lol
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> ikanobori: do what?
[08:07] <RP64_> ActionParsnip: it didn't work to my surprise, still black screen! ugh , then I tried the method of going in to the shell with networking, and doing sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and it couldnt connect because of it being wireless ,
[08:07] <ikanobori> ActionParsnip: rm -rf /
[08:07] <RP64_> 	so... is there another way? l ol
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> ikanobori: the rm thing, it's still not worth it, as well as being dumb, it achieves noting and helps nobody
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: you in the liveCD?
[08:07] <RP64_> yea
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: ok run:  sudo fdisk -l    what is the disk called, sda is common
[08:07] <RP64_> oh with ubuntu on it
[08:07] <RP64_> it's sda3
[08:08] <RP64_> well
[08:08] <RP64_> it used to be but i deleted it hold on ill recheck that
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: which partition name has ubuntu on it, the boot partition?
[08:08] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  OK it's sda5
[08:08] <RP64_> device boot is sda 1
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: ok cool
[08:09] <RP64_> sda5 is ubuntu though
[08:09] <RP64_> sda6 swap
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: run in the live environment:   sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/
[08:09] <RP64_> OK done
[08:09] <RP64_> no response
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: good, let me know if you get any errors
[08:10] <RP64_> errors when?
[08:10] <Guest66788> 35% [2 chromium-browser 6,293 kB/16.5 MB 38%]               9,972 B/s 20min 10s    Woo! Connection spike!
[08:10] <RP64_> oh it didnt do anything at all, it just went to another line, ignoring i input that
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: sudo mount ‐‐bind /dev /mnt/dev
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: any error?
[08:11] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  hmm doesn't seem to be any errors, it's just listing sort of explanations about mounting
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: are you copying the text and pasting to the terminal?
[08:11] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  yep
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: sudo mount ‐‐bind /dev /mnt/dev
[08:13] <RP64_> same thing
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: we want zero output
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[08:13] <RP64_> it's like "One can change the type of all the mounts in  a mount subtree - BLA BLA BLA BLA etc.
[08:13] <RP64_> then lists mount commands
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: sudo mount ‐‐bind /proc /mnt/proc
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: try that
[08:13] <Sulejman> hi, I have a question. I've been using irssi IRC client lately, set on my friend's computer. Have been connecting to the session using PuTTy. However, I've quit from irssi and cannot get back. when I type /screen -r [screenadress] I shows I've got 2 screens attached. Don't know what to do. Could you help me?
[08:14] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  that doesn't seem to do anything different
[08:14] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  the things that got listed before were so incredibly long and now when i tried that new one proc mntproc , nothing happened as far as I can see no new text came up
[08:15] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  but either way, no errors are reported I don't see the word error anywhere
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: ok if you run:  ls /mnt    do you see : bin  boot  cdrom  dev  etc  home  initrd.img  lib  lost+found  media  mnt  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  selinux  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var  vmlinuz
[08:15] <Sulejman> could anyone help?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: if there is any output from the commands I gave, it didn't work
[08:16] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  mine differs a little bit, but very similar
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: do you see sys proc and dev ?
[08:17] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  if i type in ls /mnt, it says : bin boot cdrom dev etc home initrd.img lib lib32 lib64 lost+found media mnt opt proc root sbin selinux srv sys tmp usr var vmlinuz
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: looks good
[08:17] <RP64_> hmm
[08:17] <RP64_> ok
[08:17] <Sulejman> could anyone help?
[08:18] <enchilado> Sulejman: I don't really know a lot about screen, but isn't there a way you can specify which session to reattach?
[08:18] <RP64_> Sulejman:  sorry i have no clue about that
[08:18] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  so is there some new plan / idea? lol
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
[08:19] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  doesn't do anything
[08:19] <Sulejman> enchilado, there is, it shows I've got 2 attached sessions, but I don't know if it is possible/how to get to them
[08:19] <Sulejman> also I don't know how to start a new session
[08:19] <Sulejman> yeah, a know, I'm really a beginner
[08:20] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  is that bad if it doesn't do anything
[08:20] <enchilado> the -r option is for reattaching, isn't it? So to start a new session you just leave it out... I think.
[08:21] <Sulejman> enchilado,  and what can I do with the 'attached' screen?
[08:21] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  u still there
[08:22] <enchilado> Is the session attached on your friend's computer still?
[08:22] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  i gotta sleep pretty soon cus im dying from lack of it
[08:22] <enchilado> AFAIK you need to detach it from there first
[08:22] <Sulejman> enchilado, it seems so
[08:22] <enchilado> with -d
[08:22] <Sulejman> won't it delete the session?
[08:24] <enchilado> Sulejman: uhm, I'm not sure. I didn't think so but I haven't used screen in that way.
[08:24] <enchilado> I only have one computer :S
[08:24] <R1ck> so, I have squeeze-backports in my sources.list, and now everytime I install a new package and it also exists in the backports, it wants to install from there - isnt it supposed to install from the ubuntu sources first and only from backports when I specifically request that with -t ?
[08:24] <toek> upgrade went fine, nothing seem broken thanks for the advice
[08:24] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  hey you still around bud
[08:24] <enchilado> Was there a split earlier?
[08:25] <RP64_> yay good job toek thats a naice
[08:25] <RP64_> :D
[08:27] <Sulejman> oh
[08:27] <Sulejman> somehow I've made it xD
[08:28] <Sulejman> probably will start a new session
[08:28] <Guest66788> Primary DNS @ 192.168.1.254 Is correct right?
[08:28] <Sulejman> enchilado, I've found a command to start irssi once again, so I'll start a new session.
[08:29] <Sulejman> enchilado, thanks for your attention
[08:29] <Sulejman> :#
[08:29] <enchilado> Sorry I couldn't really help :S
[08:29] <Sulejman> :) no problem, bye
[08:30] <Guest66788> AAh!
[08:31] <lijian> hi room
[08:31] <RP64_> actionparsnip: hey bud I think I have to sleep im seriously dying
[08:31] <RP64_> lijian: hey you arent by any chance a pro are you
[08:34] <lijian> desktop effects could not be enabled
[08:34] <Guest66788> So it's true then...
[08:34] <lijian> anybody help me with this
[08:34] <Guest66788> Firefox is dead. Because Chromium is working...
[08:34] <Guest66788> Someone shot my firefox! 0.o
[08:36] <tziOm> what is the way to check what would eventually be done with apt-get ?
[08:37] <Wipster> hey all, can anyone give me a hand trying to get my vpn to work properly using the network manager? I can connect but not see any resources on the network
[08:37] <lijian> When  I change the visual effects from none to normal, it promotes "desktop effects could not be enabled", how to fix this? anybody
[08:37] <Atharva> Why did so many people quit at once ?
[08:38] <RP64_> cus were not all in england or wherever you are lol
[08:38] <MrRagga> tziOm: apt-get --help (-s No-act. Perform ordering simulation)
[08:38] <szal> !netsplit | Atharva
[08:38] <Jayne> so who is doing the spamming?
[08:38] <RP64_> the people who are in .. whatever timezone is awake
[08:38] <MrRagga> Wipster: check your syslog file about the vpn connection
 Thanks :)
[08:39] <RP64_> actionparsnip: Hey are you here man? I g2g sleep so just last check
[08:39] <lijian> any clue? HELP!!
[08:41] <lijian> shua ni mei
[08:41] <ozdemir> hi
[08:42] <Wipster> MrRagga: ok it is saying vpn connection complete with a load of details about it, however I still cant ping my office computers. I think I need to setup a route but unsure what to enter...
[08:42] <theadmin> Wipster: Do you need to route all traffic trough your VPN connection, or just some of it?
[08:42] <MrRagga> Wipster: this sounds like a routing issue inly
[08:43] <theadmin> Wipster: If all, then "sudo route add default dev ppp0"
[08:43] <MrRagga> Wipster: set the default gw to your vpn or add static routes to it
[08:43] <Wipster> theadmin: only some, like my ssh's or vnc. web traffic can go out on my home connection
[08:44] <theadmin> Wipster: Oh, hm...
[08:44] <MrRagga> Wipster: so add static routes
[08:44] <toek> Would postfix-dovecot be a good option for a lightweight mail solution?
[08:44] <phlak_user> toek:  define lightweight
[08:45] <toek> Phlak_user: i have VPS server with limited juice.. i need to run a few email accounts rarely used.
[08:45] <phlak_user> toek: there are people who use it as a heavyweight solution too
[08:45] <theadmin> Wipster: Well, then just add the IPs you need to the routing table, like this: "sudo route add 8.8.8.8 dev ppp0"
[08:46] <MrRagga> theadmin: the whole subnet is the better approach
[08:46] <Wipster> theadmin: can I add a whole subnet?
[08:46] <MrRagga> Wipster: route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev pp0
[08:46] <theadmin> Wipster: I beleive so, you need to use the -net switch as MrRagga specified
[08:47] <szal> MrRagga: did you mean: ppp0?
[08:47] <phlak_user> toek: you could use exim
[08:47] <MrRagga> szal: yes
[08:47] <MrRagga> szal: i always expect a little but of brain on the other site, too ;)
[08:48] <Wipster> MrRagga: ok thanks for that will test out in a sec, would that still work if the VPN is assigning me 10.30.1.x addressed and the internal network is on 10.30.0.x addresss?
[08:48] <phlak_user> !info exim
[08:48] <toek> phlak_user: thanks ill look in to exim
[08:48] <caddoo> YAY FF UPDATE PUSHED
[08:48] <toek> ubottu: oh i guess i wont be then =/
[08:49] <Klojum> Anyone can help me getting rid of a wrongly created subdirectory, which now claims to be 'not empty'?  If I want to change directory to it, bash says: 'Permission denied'.. :-\
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> !info firefox
[08:49] <theadmin> Klojum: sudo rm -rf your_directory
[08:49] <toek> !info postfix-dovecot
[08:49] <toek> hmm
[08:49] <theadmin> Firefox 7? Seriously? Mozilla... You moving too fast
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> caddoo: seems so
[08:49] <caddoo> yep
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> not going to be installed here :)
[08:49] <MrRagga> Wipster: you must know, which addresses/subnets you would like to connect to. the vpn ip is only used to have a point to point connection from your home pc to the vpn gateway. anything else is just a matter of routing
[08:50] <caddoo> but its number 7 ActionParsnip
[08:50] <caddoo> its gonna have loads of new features compared to 6
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> caddoo: chromium daily build here, its greased lightning
[08:50] <theadmin> caddoo: Not really, Mozilla's just catching up with Chrome and Opera in numbers
[08:50] <caddoo> sorry was being sarcastic
[08:50] <RP64_> does anyone here know if you can download nvidia drivers onto your ubuntu installation through a liveCD?
[08:50] <RP64_> i heard chroot might be that
[08:50] <phlak_user> info exim4 | toek
[08:50] <phlak_user> !info exim4 | toek
[08:50] <theadmin> RP64_: Yeah, that would help
[08:51] <caddoo> ActionParsnip, any major differences to the stable release?
[08:51] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  HEY YOUre back man!
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: get a wired link dude, so much easier
[08:51] <iceroot> RP64_: yes, chroot is the way to go to download and install it on the installed system with a live-cd
[08:51] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  I can't , it's my landlord's connection
[08:51] <toek> phlak_user: nice thanks =)
[08:51] <phlak_user> toek: yw
[08:51]  * conntrack- dances
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> caddoo: extra beta features
[08:52] <RP64_> ActionParsnip: Hey, I can't there's no outlets in my house
[08:52] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  so basically, I have only this choice of wireless, is it still possible? can you do it through LiveCD onto the ubuntu installation?
[08:52] <conntrack-> Can anyone recommend a good book for iptables?
[08:52] <Klojum> theadmin: thanx, it did the trick. Trying to copy some files from the WindowsXP partition, as root, because otherwise the LAMPP packages has no access...
[08:53] <iceroot> conntrack-: man iptables
[08:53] <iceroot> conntrack-: #iptables
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: you can install the nvidia driver in the live cd, mount the internal partition and copy the deb files to the internal partition, then boot to root recovery mode and install the debs there
[08:53] <conntrack-> I guess I don't need one then
[08:53] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  that'd work? Uhh how do I do that can it be done in like 20 minutes
[08:53] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Too complicated, just chroot
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: tried and didn't work for some reason :(
[08:54] <RP64_> ActionParsnip: do you think we just got the specifications for chroot wrong somehow?
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: use the additional drivers app and install the driver in the live environment.
[08:54] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Weird
[08:54] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  on the liveCD rihgt now ?
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: very
[08:54] <toumbo> Anyone knows if I can manage metadata from totem player?
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: yes
[08:54] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  oh if it's very weird do you think my installation is like defective or something lol
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: doubt it but copying the files should be ok
[08:55] <RP64_> oh just so you know, I installed the nvidia drivers onto the live environment before, and it completely broke the live environment and i had to reinstall ubuntu like the black screen thing happened everytime I went onto the LiveCD as well
[08:56] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  does that change anything?
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: we just want the files, they will be in /var/cache/apt/archives    you can then run:  gksudo nautilus    select the internal partition from the left panel to mount it and copy the files over
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: only in the live CD, copying the files is what we need :)
[08:57] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  how long will it take cus im almost dead from no sleep, will it take like 20 minutes or so?
[08:57] <theadmin> RP64_: It depends on your connection speed and skill level.
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: about that long, yes
[08:57] <RP64_> lol admin ok ill rush it
[08:58] <theadmin> RP64_: Maybe you should sleep first, you could do weird stuff without being able to think properly.
[08:58] <theadmin> RP64_: Just saying.
[08:58] <RP64_> ive already been at this for 4 hours with 3 hours of sleep in 3 days so
[08:58] <RP64_> i wanna get it done once and for all
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: i'd get some sleep, it'll be easier
[08:58] <mamooth> Hey there again
[08:59] <RP64_> OK sure lol.. so what timezone you in like eastcoast north america cus im westcoast so its 2 AM here and you ? when will you be on next so I can ask for advice
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: GMT here
[08:59] <RP64_> ;D
[08:59] <RP64_> oh so is it like 4 AM there?
[08:59] <mamooth> I'm running 11.10 beta2, and I really have a hard time with blender shortcuts. The WM seems to preempt on blender, so it catches hotkeys before blender ...
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: 10am
[08:59] <theadmin> RP64_: GMT+4 here (Moscow time), if you were talking to me.
[08:59] <bazhang> mamooth, #ubuntu+1 for that
[09:00] <mamooth> ok
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> mamooth: ask in #ubuntu+1 for anything oneiric til release
[09:00] <RP64_> wow  i thought you meant general mountain time as in north america
[09:00] <theadmin> RP64_: GMT = Grinwich Mean Time
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: nope, people do live outside USA
[09:00] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  yeah including me lol
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: as theadmin says
[09:00] <Wipster_> MrRagga: still no luck pinging any of the machines there
[09:00]  * phlak_user upgraded to FF7
[09:00] <mamooth> Ok, Im going there
[09:00] <RP64_> ActionParsnip: im in canada
[09:00] <osmosis> my /boot is almost full. How do I remove unused kernels?
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: use software centre
[09:01] <RP64_> ActionParsnip:  but anyways so i guess you're in middle of europe OK so its 8 hours difference
[09:01] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, on server
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: you can use:  uname -a   to see the current kernel
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: you can use:  dpkg -l | grep linux-image-    to see installed kernels
[09:01] <RP64_> ActionParsnip: OK so ill probably be on in like 10 hours would you be there then or how could I reach youbecause you already worked with it this far right? lol
[09:01] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, looks like a ton of them
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: leave the metapackage in but remove the unused kernels with version numbers, NOT the running kernels
[09:02] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, isnt there just like a clean command?
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> RP64_: I'll be at work but probably on irc
[09:02] <theadmin> osmosis: Not really
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: there is but ive not used it
[09:02] <RP64_> OK cool cya all
[09:02] <theadmin> osmosis: Ubuntu-Tweak had some options to remove old kernels iirc
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: its a server install
[09:03] <osmosis> yah, my boot partition is 90% full
[09:03] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah...
[09:03] <phlak_user> osmosis: i just delete all the kernels but the running one and run grub update
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-with-one-command/    i've not used this and i suggest you do it individually so you don't screw up
[09:03] <osmosis> phlak_user, delete meaning apt-get remove ?
[09:04] <phlak_user> nope; just rm
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: yes:   sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.x.x..x.x.
[09:04] <phlak_user> but thats just me ;)
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> phlak_user: that won't work, removing the kernel is the advised way
[09:04] <theadmin> phlak_user: APT would try to retreive the files back the next update
[09:05]  * theadmin 's package manager does not keep old kernels
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: how did you wangle that?
[09:05] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Well, not an Ubuntu user :P
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: ahh, makes sense
[09:05] <phlak_user> lol
[09:05] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Still though, I have no clue why they do that
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: to allow rolling back if a kernel is bad
[09:08] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Isn't it the package mantainer's job to verify the kernel is not, as you said, "bad"?
[09:08] <toek> what webmail can you recommend? preferably not squirrelmail =)
[09:09] <Myrtti> toek: roundcube?
[09:09] <toek> Myrtti: thanks
[09:09] <theadmin> toek: http://alternativeto.net/software/squirrelmail/
[09:10] <phlak_user> tork: horde (or whatever its called now)
[09:10] <phlak_user> toek:  its actually imp -> http://www.horde.org/apps/imp/
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: depends on the hardware
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: especially if there is a regression causing hardware not to work, the old kernel can be booted to and a bug logged
[09:11] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: I see. Guess it makes sense, but hey, I have the [testing] repo enabled so I'm not afraid :P
[09:11] <phlak_user> toek:  or is it this -> http://www.horde.org/apps/webmail
[09:15] <toek> phlak_user: sweet
[09:16] <osmosis> how come when I do  history -c   it seems like my history is cleared, but if I logout and log back in..my entire history has returned.
[09:16] <theadmin> osmosis: rm ~/.bash_history
[09:18] <phlak_user> or echo > ~/.bash_history
[09:18] <Pooky5> hello, can someone explain me, why when i can't upgrade firefox even if I already add "ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora" in repository?
[09:18] <theadmin> Pooky5: Did you do "sudo apt-get update" after that?
[09:19] <Pooky5> theadmin: many times
[09:20] <phlak_user> i am never able to get the FF update widget working. it just keeps saying connecting to update server
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: rm ~/.bash_history   is a great way
[09:20] <Pooky5> I also try remove firefox and install again, bat i still get only 7.x version
[09:20] <usr13> phlak_user: Use the package manager
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: which version do you want? and which release are you using?
[09:20] <phlak_user> easier to just download it from getfirefox.org
[09:20] <theadmin> Pooky5: I beleive the package would be called "aurora", not"firefox"...
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> !info aurora
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> ha
[09:21] <theadmin> Nope, probably not
[09:21] <theadmin> Maybe firefox-aurora?
[09:21] <phlak_user> !info firefox
[09:21] <phlak_user> it says 7.0.1
[09:21] <theadmin> Meh, actually, it *is* firefox...
[09:22] <usr13> If you install firefox manually, you probably need to blacklist it on the package manager.
[09:22] <Pooky5> theadmin: nope, it really name firefox
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: which version do you want? and which release are you using?
[09:22] <phlak_user> usr13: i just removed the package and install it manually each time
[09:22] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: I want Aurora (which is 8 or 9) and i have 7
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: ok and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[09:22] <phlak_user> usr13: 'cos 6 was horrible when it first came out
[09:22] <ahhughez> what's a good image/picture/photo browsing application? Just wanna open up a file... hit some button and the next in the dir opens.

[09:24] <BenNZ> hi , having trouble installing the nvidia 173 driver with the 3.0 kernel , but had trouble with the 2.6 kernel , anyone know of a way to install the nvidia driver with the 3.0 kernel
[09:24] <ahhughez> looks perfect phlak_user
[09:24] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: i read this and i do this step
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> BenNZ: oneiric is supported in #ubuntu+1
[09:24] <phlak_user> ahhughez: tis the fastest ive seen
[09:24] <theadmin> BenNZ: 3.0 is not supported on Ubuntu.
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> BenNZ: it is in oneiric ;)
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> BenNZ: if you have instaled a 3rd party kernel via the kernel ppa then neither channel will support you
[09:25] <paulus68> is there a way to show a progress bar when moving large files from 1 place to another?
[09:25] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: bat i still get only 7 version of firefox, i don't have idea why
[09:26] <phlak_user> paulus68: doesnt the file manager show that in "file operations" ?
[09:26] <BenNZ> ActionParsnip: theadmin ok , if you dont know thanks for your time
[09:26] <paulus68> Pooky5: there was an update of firefox this morning
[09:26] <paulus68> phlak_user: I run it in terminal since it's on a server
[09:26] <Pooky5> paulus68: I know, after this update firefox crash on every start, so i want another version
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9310678
[09:27] <phlak_user> paulus68: oh ok rsync has a --progress option that should print out hashes
[09:27] <Wipster> theadmin: MrRagga: could you check this out? I'm still unable to ping a machine on 10.30.0.93, ifconfig says ppp0 has an inet of 10.30.1.203 ptp 10.30.0.254 and mask of 255.255.255.255, the first is before my vpn connects the second is once its connected, http://pastebin.com/4tmmmLfz
[09:27] <paulus68> Pooky5: ok
[09:27] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: phlak_user: thanks
[09:28] <usr13> scp also shows progress I think.
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/firefox-aurora?field.series_filter=natty   shows it has firefox 9
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox     should do it
[09:29] <MrRagga> Wipster: which ip subnet do you want to  connect to?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Wipster: weird mask
[09:30] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: i really try it, meaby 5 times and it really doesn't work, it's reason why i ask for help, i try nightly and beta and i still stuck on 7 version
[09:30] <Wipster> MrRagga: I'd like to connect to 10.30.0.x as thats what all the office machines are on
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy firefox     can you use http://pastebin.com to host the text
[09:31] <MrRagga> Wipster: route add -net 10.30.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev pp0
[09:31] <openbees> how to install git version control ..including GUI
[09:31] <phlak_user> Pooky5: isnt downloading manually an option? you could just download the binary; explode it into say /opt/ (tar jxvf firefox-x-x-x-x) and point the launcher
[09:31] <phlak_user> !info git
[09:31] <MrRagga> Wipster: is it a /24 subnet?
[09:31] <MrRagga> Wipster: if not adapt the netmask
[09:31] <Pooky5> phlak_user: i just did it, it's only solution of this
[09:32] <phlak_user> Pooky5: oh ok :)
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: if you can pastebin the text we can advise
[09:32] <Wipster> MrRagga: well I think it is... but as ppp0 is being assigned a 1.x I'm not sure
[09:33] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: here http://pastebin.com/vs0mxN6j
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: you haven't added the ppa
[09:33] <phlak_user> Wipster: it doesnt matter at your end (unless you have other machines in local lan in same subnet) since its a ptp connection. its the routing at the other end that matters
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: can you run:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora     and pastebin the output please
[09:34] <Pooky5> http://pastebin.com/cE4Q6Q0a
[09:34] <Wipster> phlak_user: oh right cheers MrRagga: no dice still cant ping any computers there, does the metric need to be set?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: unchanged, ok that's weird
[09:35] <phlak_user> Wipster:  when i connect to my VPN server; my route looks like this (and i can ping a 192.168.1.200 machine on the other end) -> 10.255.254.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0

[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: good ol web translate
[09:36] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: ? i don't understand right now
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: the repo was added but was already there so it is unchanged or 'beze změn'
[09:37] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: yea, it's czech translate :)
[09:38] <Pooky5> ActionParsnip: well now i use "aptitude upgrade" and it works..
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: sweet
[09:38] <Pooky5> ActtionParsnip: I'm very happy :)
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> coolage
[09:39] <jefimenko> ActionParsnip: i took your advice and tried to upgrade. lucid -> maverick was okay, but then maverick -> natty stopped early in the upgrade with this: http://pastebin.com/ru9heinK
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: its got an oneiric branch too
[09:42] <Pooky5> when should ubuntu 11.10 be released? I want switch asap
[09:42] <jpds> Pooky5: 13th. #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 chat.
[09:48] <Quontrex> anyone had luck with samba4 in a limited production state?
[09:48] <ikonia> define luck with samba, in what context
[09:49] <Quontrex> works great for me"" but I only have 20 users
[09:49] <Quontrex> in an all linux farm
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> not used samba4 here, only using samba
[09:50] <iceroot> Quontrex: used it as ad
[09:50] <ikonia> Quontrex: deine works - file sharing, ldap intergration, AD intergration, user managment, printing etc
[09:50] <iceroot> Quontrex: works ok but some features are still missing
[09:50] <Quontrex> ad works well using an xp box to do the dirty work
[09:51] <iceroot> Quontrex: but now you dont need windows anymore to use ad
[09:51] <iceroot> Quontrex: which is a great feature and a big step in the open-source-world
[09:51] <Quontrex> well I am kinda forced to have a winderz box anyway soooo
[09:51] <jefimenko> ubuntu-standard sounds like a very important package
[09:51] <jefimenko> is that right?
[09:52] <Quontrex> depends what is important to you jef
[09:52] <jefimenko> i'm just trying to fix an upgrade problem from maverick -> natty
[09:53] <Quontrex> takeoff on m$ commercial "what do you wanna do RIGHT today"
[09:53] <jefimenko> it's breaking on some kind of dependency between libdns and libgeoip
[09:53] <ikonia> Quontrex: do you have an ubuntu discussion issue - or are you here to blindly make stilly comments about Microsoft ?
[09:53] <jefimenko> so i thought i could remove libdns just for the upgrade
[09:54] <Quontrex> no I am here to find anyone else using samba4
[09:54] <chump_> whaaaaazzzzzup?
[09:54] <ikonia> Quontrex: try the #samba channel
[09:54] <iceroot> Quontrex: #samba
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> chump_: zaaaaaa'
[09:54] <mez_> or #samba-dev (and I use samba4 !!)
[09:54] <chump_> alot of ppl around here
[09:54] <toek> shouldnt postfix be standard in 10.04?
[09:54] <jefimenko> removing libdns requires a few more packages to be removed: http://pastebin.com/HwMe6vsR
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> !info postfix
[09:55] <conntrack-> jokers
[09:55] <mez_> toek, It has been for a fair few releases!
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> toek: its optional
[09:55] <mez_> (the standard MTA, not installed by default)
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> its not installed here in Oneiric
[09:56] <toek> i cant find it with ps, is it aptitude install postfix i should be doin?
[09:56] <chump_> with ps?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> toek: if you desire the package, yes (prefix with sudo)
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> chump_: shows running processes
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> chump_: ps | less      ;)
[09:57] <chump_> yea yea i know - just was confused why he is trying to find postfix with ps.
[09:57] <jefimenko> i guess it's a terrible idea to remove ubuntu-standard before an upgrade
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> chump_: not sure myself
[09:57] <fritsch> jefimenko: just a meta package - but yes new dependencies are not upgraded
[09:58] <fritsch> jefimenko: i can imagine worse scenarios :-)
[09:59] <jefimenko> it's just i can't upgrade from maverick to natty without getting this error: http://pastebin.com/NztnKUXF
[09:59] <jefimenko> in maverick it's libdns66
[09:59] <fritsch> jefimenko: did you mess with oneiric stuff?
[09:59] <mez_> jefimenko, what command are you using to upgrade ?
[09:59] <theadmin> jefimenko: You can't really upgrade Ubuntu safely... Face the truth and consider a clean install.
[09:59] <jefimenko> no
[10:00] <fritsch> theadmin: mmh not that right
[10:00] <jefimenko> do-release-upgrade
[10:00] <fritsch> jefimenko: should work fine, did you install any other packages from 3rd party repos?
[10:00] <jefimenko> no
[10:00] <jefimenko> this is a clean box
[10:00] <mez_> theadmin, I've upgraded this machine (safely) from ... feisty ?
[10:00] <jefimenko> it was running clean 10.04 server for a while
[10:01] <jefimenko> all up-to-date
[10:01] <toek> if i only want to run webmail then i only need postfix?
[10:01] <jefimenko> i took it from lucid -> maverick safely
[10:01] <jefimenko> not it won't go from maverick -> natty
[10:01] <mez_> jefimenko, apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade; do-release-upgrade
[10:01] <theadmin> mez_: Wow, you're lucky
[10:01] <mez_> theadmin, No, not really - I just know how to fix things :D
[10:02] <jefimenko> upgrade and dist-upgrade didn't take any action
[10:02] <demirulez> Hello, is there a simple and fast way to verify if the SLI Mode is actually enabled? Thanks
[10:02] <theadmin> mez_: I broke my X when upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic, and probably some worse stuff happened as well, just didn't know much back then and didn't really look further, just reinstalled
[10:02] <fritsch> mez_: this is not the way
[10:02] <llutz> toek: webmail as in just sending mail via website or  access to your mail via webfront?
[10:02] <mez_> fritsch,  ?
[10:02] <fritsch> jefimenko: try to fetch all maverick updates first
[10:02] <fritsch> mez_: these upgrade commands do some special things in order not to run into dependency issues
[10:02] <jefimenko> fritsch: not using apt-get upgrade?
[10:02] <fritsch> jefimenko: not for release upgrades
[10:03] <jefimenko> so what should i run
[10:03] <mez_> jefimenko, do you have any PPAs or similar installed?
[10:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: there is the ubuntu way of doing it with update-manager -d or do_release_upgrade
[10:03] <jefimenko> mez_: no
[10:03] <mez_> fritsch, no - do-release-upgrade is the safe way to upgrade... which is what jefimenko is using.
[10:03] <toek> llutz: access mail wia webfront like roundcube or squirrelmail or so
[10:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: try with maverick sources: apt-get update && apt-get update
[10:03] <demirulez> i have issued sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=On, rebooted and all seems to work with 280.13 drivers...
[10:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: in order to get maverick up to date
[10:03] <llutz> toek: you'll need a imap/pop3 server 1st for that
[10:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: after that try the do_release_upgrade again
[10:04] <toek> llutz: aight thanks
[10:04] <toek> llutz: thought so...
[10:04] <mez_> jefimenko, changing your sources to maverick and upgrading via aopt-get upgrade MAY break your system.
[10:04] <jefimenko> these are the sources.list: http://pastebin.com/X9g9E83d
[10:04] <theadmin> fritsch: Doesn't do-release-upgrade automatically run apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade first?
[10:05] <jefimenko> i only see lucid stuff commented out from the recent upgrade from lucid -> maverick
[10:05] <jefimenko> nothing else out of the ordinary
[10:05] <mez_> jefimenko, pastebin your sources.list ?
[10:05] <fritsch> theadmin: i do not think so. it first deactives ppas and so on
[10:05] <jefimenko> mez_: i just did
[10:05] <fritsch> theadmin: installs additional needed packages (tar.gz it fetches)
[10:06] <llutz> toek: to send mail, either use postfix or a simple mailer like ssmtp/msmtp
[10:06] <ajah> i`ve set up ad-hoc wireless network with static settings on one of my ubuntu machines and i can successfully join with network-manager on other machine but when i try iwconfig wlan0 essid "network" ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.69 doesn`t work
[10:06] <demirulez> edit: in the section of X Screen 0 in Nvidia X server settings GUI there are shown 2 GPUs on associated to the monitor, is this correct?
[10:06] <jefimenko> this happened on a second machine btw
[10:06] <jefimenko> same scenario
[10:06] <theadmin> fritsch: I see, well, weird system. Anything that's not a rolling-release is weird to upgrade.
[10:06] <fritsch> theadmin: hehe try debian rolling unstable :-)
[10:06] <phlak_user> ajah: you need to set mode in iwconfig too
[10:06] <ajah> i basically should the same but doesn`t work
[10:07] <phlak_user> ajah: like so ->  iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc
[10:07] <theadmin> fritsch: I'm fine with Arch, thanks.
[10:07] <ajah> phlak_user, i`ll try
[10:07] <mez_> jefimenko, do you have bind installed?
[10:08] <demirulez> Hello, is there a simple and fast way to verify if the SLI Mode is actually enabled? Thank for your help
[10:08] <jefimenko> mez_: yes, bind-host. but i don't run a bind server on this
[10:08] <fritsch> demirulez: have a look in nvidia-settings
[10:09] <demirulez> fritsch: i have the control panel opened, where should i check?
[10:09] <mez_> jefimenko, bind-host would count too....
[10:09] <fritsch> demirulez: just click on your graphics car
[10:10] <jefimenko> mez_: is bind causing problems?
[10:10] <fritsch> jefimenko: what about removing libdns69 before?=
[10:10] <demirulez> fritsch: it says: Screen 0 (SLI) on both videocards
[10:10] <ajah> phlak_user, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "wireless-connection" mode ad-hoc , sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.13 still no ping with 192.168.0.1 any suggestion?
[10:10] <Quontrex> you have a winner
[10:10] <mez_> jefimenko, well, you seem to have libdns69 - which isn't part of maverick...
[10:10] <fritsch> demirulez: you see the SLI?
[10:10] <jefimenko> fritsch: that was my idea before (it's actually libdns66 on maverick)
[10:11] <fritsch> demirulez: or did you set ist for yourself
[10:11] <phlak_user> ajah: what does sudo iwconfig wlan0 say?
[10:11] <jefimenko> fritsch: but it wants to remove some other important-looking packages. let me pastebin it
[10:11] <fritsch> jefimenko: jep
[10:11] <phlak_user> you can pastebinit
[10:11] <jefimenko> http://pastebin.com/d3XFueHY
[10:11] <mez_> jefimenko, apt-get install libdns66
[10:11] <ajah> phlak_user, wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"wireless-connection" and other stuffs
[10:11] <mez_> and see what that gives you
[10:11] <fritsch> mez_: jep good way to go
[10:11] <mez_> (where did you get 69 from?)
[10:12] <ron> is there a way to undelete a file that was removed with rm?
[10:12] <Quontrex> if it gives him two card 0 and sli theyre stacked and working properly
[10:12] <demirulez> fritsch: i have enabled it with nvidia-xconfig --sli=On
[10:12] <fritsch> mez_: from his remove it seems that it depends on ubuntu-standard
[10:12] <ajah> phlak_user, in pastebin all of it?
[10:12] <fritsch> demirulez: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:12] <mez_> jefimenko, no - he's trying to remove 66 there, not 69
[10:12] <fritsch> demirulez: perhaps there is printed something
[10:12] <mez_> jefimenko, apt-get remove libdns69
[10:12] <fritsch> demirulez: but i think it is just working
[10:12] <mez_> not 66 ;)
[10:12] <jefimenko> mez_: trying to install libdns66 didn't do anything
[10:12] <jefimenko> mez_: i got 69 because of the error shown during the upgrade: http://pastebin.com/yw8QivCK
[10:12] <ajah> phlak_user, http://pastebin.com/5A15Nmt9
[10:13] <fritsch> jefimenko: remove the 69 version
[10:13] <jefimenko> mez_: but in maverick, it's libdns66
[10:13] <jefimenko> i'll try 69, but i don't think it's installed
[10:13] <jefimenko> doesn't exist
[10:13] <jefimenko> E: Unable to locate package libdns69
[10:13] <toek> should i go for: postfix configuration: Internet Site or Internet Site with smarthost?
[10:13] <usr13> phlak_user:  What is the actual essid of ajah's wireless router?
[10:13] <fritsch> jefimenko: okay it will come from natty then
[10:13] <toek> or local or what?
[10:13] <mez_> jefimenko, ah ok.
[10:14] <mez_> jefimenko, one sec... seems you have a local copy of a dodgy libdns69
[10:14] <Quontrex> toek you have a static dns on the router?
[10:14] <llutz> toek: do you have own domain, static ip? then you could use internet-site, else better to use a smarthost for sending mails
[10:14] <ajah> usr13, its not a router it`s ad hoc network on other ubuntu machine
[10:14] <toek> i have domain and static ip
[10:14] <toek> it runs a site
[10:14] <toek> joomla site
[10:14] <usr13> ajah: What do you have it's essid set to?
[10:14] <ajah> usr13, $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning | grep wireless                    ESSID:"wireless-connection"
[10:14] <demirulez> fritsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/699626/
[10:14] <mez_> jefimenko, can you apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean then try and run do-release-upgrade
[10:15] <fritsch> demirulez: you see the line
[10:15] <jefimenko> mez_: trying now
[10:15] <Quontrex> just talk to yourself, works for me
[10:15] <fritsch> 14.985?
[10:15] <llutz> toek: internet-site is fine then, you'll send your mails directly to receipients then
[10:15] <phlak_user> ajah: is this the mac address of the other laptop? Cell: 6A:4E:7E:90:FE:01
[10:15] <toek> ok nice thanks
[10:15] <fritsch> jefimenko: [    14.985] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA SLI enabled.
[10:15] <usr13> ajah: Ok well that should do it.  Do you have appropriate IP address settings for each?
[10:15] <toek> what does the localy option mean?'
[10:15] <Acfay> .org
[10:15] <mez_> jefimenko, you're trying to go from maverick->natty , right?
[10:15] <jefimenko> mez_: yes
[10:15] <llutz> toek: if you need to deliver mails to local receipients
[10:16] <celltech> I know it's possible. And free. But I can't figure it out. How do I use my iphone as a webcam on linux
[10:16] <toek> ok
[10:16] <demirulez> fritsch: yes should be: [    14.985] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA SLI enabled.
[10:16] <jefimenko> mez_: i just finishing going from lucid -> maverick
[10:16] <fritsch> demirulez: [    14.985] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA SLI enabled.
[10:16] <llutz> toek: users on your server
[10:16] <Quontrex> trying to contact 127.0.0.1
[10:16] <toek> llutz: that could be done externaly also right?
[10:16] <mez_> jefimenko, that's cool.  Your cleans should hopefully get rid of the weird package.
[10:16] <llutz> toek: yes
[10:16] <Quontrex> 127 is non routable
[10:16] <demirulez> fritsch: yes, thank you very much, and the bad part is that it's not working under Seven lol
[10:16] <ajah> phlak_user, w8 a little bit i should log with ssh and tell you not sure
[10:16] <llutz> toek: good resources for postfix are #postfix here in freenode and the documentation on postfix.org
[10:17] <phlak_user> ajah: ok ifconfig wlan0 on the other machine should tell you
[10:17] <stevecam> how do i reload the sidebar and the toolbar when they start playing up in unity
[10:17] <jefimenko> mez_: unfortunately, i got the same error
[10:17] <jefimenko> mez_: i ran both clean commands
[10:18] <fritsch> jefimenko: remove it and delete the other 5 packages with you
[10:18] <fritsch> jefimenko: do a upgrade and install ubuntu-standard again
[10:18] <Quontrex> sudo apt-cache search libdns
[10:18] <fritsch> Quontrex: no sudo need for search
[10:18] <jefimenko> fritsch: ok, i'll try that
[10:18] <Quontrex> oh right thats find
[10:19] <phlak_user> stevecam: define "playing up"
[10:20] <fritsch> jefimenko: i am shortly afk - just ping me a view times, if there is a problem
[10:20] <Quontrex> undesirable output?

[10:23] <Grey_Loki> Hi, i'm running ubuntu on a HP touchpad. The Ubuntu chroot app has been updated so you can totally disable HP's on-screen keyboard. What's the best way of going about making Ubuntu as tablet-friendly as possible? i.e, nice big buttons, swipe-to-scroll, a ubuntu-generated on-screen keyboard, etc?
[10:23] <Grey_Loki> I'm presuming that it isn't just as simple as apt-get install ubuntu-tablet :D
[10:23] <jefimenko> fritsch: the upgrade is progressing now. i did see it mention that it will be removing openssh-server... kind of disturbing... but i do have a way to access this remotely without ssh
[10:26] <fritsch> jefimenko: which script did remove it?
[10:26] <fritsch> jefimenko: apt-get remove from the beginning?
[10:27] <stevecam> phlak_user, well the problem im having now is that the sidebar has frozen, but in general i find to be a bit of a problem, the tray area on the toolbar wont always allow me to interact with me and the sidebar will behave rather strange when i am running a seamless desktop with virtualbox
[10:27] <fritsch> jefimenko: normally it should open a rescue server before starting on 8022 or so
[10:27] <mez_> jefimenko, try commenting out security and updates lines from sources.list then running do-release-upgrade
[10:28] <adataa> is there any programming channel on freenode
[10:28] <mez_> adataa, there are lots. Are you looking for any specific type? Any specific language ?
[10:28] <adataa> c#
[10:28] <adataa> i tried c++ also but it wont let me send to channel don't know why
[10:29] <senayar> Grey_Loki, search about utouch on google
[10:29] <mez_> adataa, ##csharp
[10:29] <adataa> thx
[10:29] <ikonia> !register | adataa
[10:29] <phlak_user> stevecam: so this strange behavior is always when you run the seamless desktop using virtualbox?
[10:35] <stevecam> phlak_user, forget i mentioned all that, the system tray is not being interactive weather i am in vb or not
[10:36] <jefimenko> fritsch: it finished, but i think something is wrong
[10:37] <jefimenko> fritsch: "lsb_release -a" shows maverick
[10:37] <mez_> jefimenko, cat /etc/lsb-release
[10:37] <stevecam> phlak_user, what is the process for the sidebar and the toolbar?
[10:37] <stevecam> so i can kill them and start them when they play up
[10:38] <fritsch> jefimenko: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard
[10:38] <jefimenko> fritsch: it came back online without internet... i have to look into why before i can install that
[10:39] <fritsch> jefimenko: where did it normally get internet from?
[10:39] <fritsch> jefimenko: libdns is missing :-) this could be a problem
[10:39] <fritsch> jefimenko: do you have your ip and gateway configuration?
[10:39] <fritsch> jefimenko: did it get an ip?
[10:39] <fritsch> jefimenko: ifconfig eth0
[10:40] <jefimenko> fritsch: i mean i can't ping it
[10:40] <jefimenko> fritsch: it has an IP though
[10:40] <fritsch> jefimenko: can it ping out?
[10:41] <jefimenko> fritsch: i'm going to try simplifying the interfaces file though. it is pretty complex with bonding and bridging... maybe something like that broke in natty
[10:41] <fritsch> jefimenko: okay, the steps are install ubuntu-standard again and openssh-server
[10:41] <jefimenko> fritsch: actually, it can ping out
[10:41] <rabbi1> just installed 11.04 on hp mini, problem with resolution, unable to see the complete window of any applications :(
[10:41] <fritsch> jefimenko: yeah, so install some packages
[10:41] <fritsch> jefimenko: ubuntu-standard and openssh-server
[10:42] <fritsch> jefimenko: could be that the net devices have swapped
[10:42] <fritsch> jefimenko: meaning eth0 eth1 have switched?
[10:42] <fritsch> jefimenko: have a look in /etc/udev/rules.d/ xx persistent xx
[10:43] <jefimenko> fritsch: i get this error when i try "apt-get install ubuntu-standard": Package ubuntu-standard is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.
[10:43] <fritsch> jefimenko: paste your sources.list please
[10:44] <fritsch> jefimenko: i think some entries are just missing
[10:44] <Quontrex> ubuntu-desktop
[10:45] <rabbi1> just installed 11.04 on hp mini, problem with the resolution, unable to see complete window. how to solve :(
[10:45] <TacoDan> Hello, will there be no Gnome option next release? (ubuntu-classic?)
[10:45] <rabbi1> TacoDan: Doesn't matter you can get it anytime :)
[10:46] <Quontrex> rabbi1: is there a restricted driver for that machine?
[10:46] <MonkeyDust> TacoDan: ask details in #ubuntu+1
[10:47] <stevecam> when im virtulizing with vbox, is it possible to make other apps to respect my windows taskbar position when managing windows, for example when i maximize a window in gnome i dont want it to cover up the windows taskbar?
[10:47] <jefimenko> fritsch: i can't copy&paste right now because i'm viewing it through a kvm with no net access... i can't ssh in
[10:47] <jefimenko> fritsch: but i can take a screenshot haha
[10:47] <Quontrex> pen and pencil?
[10:47] <TacoDan> rabbi: how so?
[10:48] <TacoDan> MonkeyDust: Nobody seems awake, but I did.
[10:48] <fritsch> jefimenko: okay go for it

[11:01] <rabbi1> screen problem with hp mini, after installing 11.04. how so solve this?
[11:01] <arand_> phlak_user: rabbi1: That shortcut is disabled by default, I think, You can use alt+sysreq+k for a similar effect though..
[11:01] <rabbi1> atl alt backspace not working
[11:02] <phlak_user> gingerling: havent got a clue --> http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/Installation/Ubuntu
[11:02] <rabbi1> arand_: it's the application windows not displaying fully
[11:02] <gingerling> thanks :)
[11:02] <phlak_user> rabbi1: did you login to unity or gnome desktop?
[11:02] <rabbi1> sysreq ?
[11:03] <prav> vcvv
[11:03] <rabbi1> phlak_user: gnome
[11:04] <phlak_user> rabbi1: can you logout and try loggin in by selecting unity as your window manager
[11:04] <prav> ktyukdflykjpfd v
[11:04] <phlak_user> rabbi1: the key that says Prt  Sc between Pause and Delete (on my laptop)

[11:06] <salty-horse> hey. I'm looking at the "preferred applications" capplet in natty. the "web browser" drop-down doesn't have a "custom" option. was it removed?
[11:06] <rabbi1> arand_: even that key has no effect
[11:06] <phlak_user> rabbi1: can you describe the exact problem? are you not able to see your complete window?
[11:06] <rabbi1> phlak_user: exactly, unable to see the complete window

[11:07] <phlak_user> rabbi1: is the screen resolution 1024x600?
[11:08] <rabbi1> phlak_user: 1024x576
[11:09] <phlak_user> rabbi1: ok what model of mini is this?
[11:10] <aatk> rabbi1: are you sure it's not just because you have a small screen? can you upload a screenshot of the problem?
[11:10] <rabbi1> says hp mini 1000 phlak_user
[11:10] <max_> can anyone tell me how to upload log files please?
[11:11] <jrib> max_: upload them where

[11:12] <gabrielshahzad> hi. is it possible to block every port besides ports 80 / 8080 with iptables? and if so, how would I do that (don't know my way around iptables)
[11:13] <jrib> !firewall | gabrielshahzad
[11:13] <jrib> gabrielshahzad: using either ufw or iptables, block all ports, then open only those you want
[11:13] <gabrielshahzad> thanks. didn't think about ufw
[11:13] <phlak_user> rabbi1: you could try what is suggested here --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1170167
[11:16] <DysonReturns> greets gents - anyone know an easy way of allowing ping from only a specific address?
[11:17] <Onlyodin> DysonReturns, iptables
[11:17] <jefimenko> fritsch: i think i recovered it
[11:17] <jefimenko> fritsch: hopefully the system didn't get messed up in the process
[11:17] <fritsch> jefimenko: if you have recovered it - it sounds promissing
[11:17] <fritsch> jefimenko: did you get ubuntu-standard installed?
[11:20] <Cube``> hey guys, whats the name of the programm responsible for changing the desktop background? im using xmonad so i cannot access the ubuntu settings like i normally would
[11:22] <jefimenko> fritsch: yes, but it looks like the bonded, bridged interface on vlan isn't working in natty
[11:22] <gabrielshahzad> is it possible to block smb with something like ufw deny smb ?
[11:22] <jefimenko> i'll have to find out why
[11:22] <aatk> Cube``: xsetbg, feh, there are quite a few
[11:22] <fritsch> jefimenko: you used bridge tools to set it up?
[11:23] <jefimenko> fritsch: yea, back in lucid. it's all in my /etc/network/interfaces
[11:23] <Cube``> aatk: ok, and where are the default wallpaper choices stored? in which folder?
[11:23] <fritsch> jefimenko: should work still
[11:23] <jefimenko> fritsch: the non-bridged inteface works
[11:24] <jefimenko> fritsch: the one that is only bonded
[11:24] <fritsch> jefimenko: paste your interfaces, if you can
[11:24] <aatk> Cube``: they're usually in /user/share/backgrounds
[11:26] <aatk> Cube``: /usr/share/backgrounds sorry

[12:02] <cowo_pengen> hem
[12:02] <fritsch> jefimenko: ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -i eth0 -p 802_1Q -j DROP
[12:02] <jefimenko> just saw that
[12:02] <fritsch> jefimenko: but i do not understand fully what it does
[12:02] <jefimenko> fritsch: neither do i
[12:03] <phlak_user> }[oO]{: you need to add it to the notification applet
[12:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: i think yours has to b ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -i bond0 -p ... -j DROP
[12:03] <fritsch> jefimenko: but i think you have to experiment
[12:04] <}[oO]{> add it how?
[12:04] <}[oO]{> i think it's related tot he indicator applet
[12:04] <phlak_user> }[oO]{: like this -> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html
[12:05] <jefimenko> fritsch: is this bug in oneric too?
[12:05] <fritsch> jefimenko: this is no bug i think
[12:05] <fritsch> jefimenko: just a kernel change
[12:06] <jefimenko> fritsch: well, it did work
[12:06] <phlak_user> ahhughez: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:name-of-ppa and then sudo apt-get update
[12:07] <fritsch> jefimenko: you change eth0 to bond0?
[12:07] <ahhughez> sweet thanks phlak_user
[12:07] <}[oO]{> phlak_user: best guess, use the whitelist command and recycle the session, then?
[12:07] <jefimenko> fritsch: i did change it to bond0
[12:07] <fritsch> oki
[12:08] <fritsch> you could include it in a boot script then
[12:08] <jefimenko> fritsch: hm do you know which bootscript?
[12:09] <BluesKaj> hiyas
[12:10] <fritsch> jefimenko: you can just run it after br0 is up
[12:10] <phlak_user> }[oO]{: sure
[12:10] <fritsch> jefimenko: bond0 is up
[12:10] <jefimenko> i've never done network-dependent bootscripts
[12:10] <jefimenko> is this something i can add in /etc/network/interfaces?

[12:15] <ionite> hi guys. i am using ubuntu. but my realtek 8172 driver wont work. it can detect my wireless and scan for my router.
[12:15] <cmicallef> ionite: hmmm
[12:16] <cmicallef> ionite: i recently tried a usb realtek 8192 wireless
[12:16] <ionite> cmicallef: i searched online. there were many forums and users faced with this problem but i don't know how to do it.
[12:16] <cmicallef> ionite: what version of ubuntu?
[12:16] <ionite> cmicallef: i read up alot and many of them are suggesting to replace the 8172 driver with 8192 and claims that they work as well.
[12:17] <ionite> cmicallef: 11.04
[12:17] <ionite> cmicallef: could it be the network manager problem? now i am using lan.
[12:18] <cmicallef> ionite: are the right modules loading?
[12:18] <ionite> cmicallef: how do i check? i am a noob so i don't know how to check.
[12:18] <cmicallef> ionite: ahhhh
[12:19] <amin`> does anyone know how to create SSTP VPN connection????
[12:19] <cmicallef> ionite: run iwconfig in a term and tell me if you see any wifi connections
[12:19] <ionite> cmicallef: paste for u in private.
[12:20] <jefimenko> fritsch: thanks for all the help---i really appreciate it
[12:20] <jefimenko> fritsch: any recommendations on where to put this ebtables snippet though? i'm searching through the ubuntu docs for a recommendation
[12:21] <ionite> cmicallef: how did u get urs to work?
[12:21] <fritsch> jefimenko: yes
[12:22] <fritsch> jefimenko: put it into the post up folder
[12:22] <fritsch> jefimenko: check if bond0 came up and run this command
[12:22] <vsync> Is there a channel for Unity?
[12:22] <fritsch> jefimenko: if-up.d
[12:23] <fritsch> jefimenko: if [ "$IFACE" = bond0 ]; then
[12:23] <fritsch> jefimenko: your_ebtables_command
[12:23] <fritsch> jefimenko: fi
[12:23] <fritsch> thats all

[12:41] <ChristW> I'm running an Ubuntu Server on an old Compaq computer with an Elsa GLoria Synergy card. The console fonts (on an attached VGA monitor) are unreadable. Any idea what I can do to solve this? The boot menu shows up correctly, and the screen becomes unreadable after pressing 'Enter' to boot.
[12:41] <ChristW> Ubuntu version is 11.04
[12:41] <jamesw> hi, i'm on natty, if i wanted to force upgrade to latest software center without breaking anything else, how could i do that?
[12:42] <theadmin> jamesw: You can't upgrade to Oneric "partially", no.
[12:42] <bazhang> jamesw, you cannot.
[12:42] <jamesw> theadmin, bazhang: not even if i manually install a deb?
[12:43] <theadmin> jamesw: Dependencies and stuff. No.
[12:43] <bazhang> jamesw, you said without breaking things, so no.
[12:43] <Gentoo64> why does everyone want the latest software centre btw?
[12:43] <jamesw> better designed, more sorting/rating etc
[12:43] <theadmin> jamesw: Meh... Nothing wrong with apt-get
[12:44] <ahhughez> Im using mythbuntu, and its menu is different to ubuntu's... can someone confirm they have Applications -> System -> Preferences ?
[12:44] <theadmin> Gentoo64 would know ;) I don't think emerge has any GUI frontends, does it?
[12:44] <theadmin> ahhughez: It's normally just System -> Preferences on Ubuntu, but yah
[12:44] <Gentoo64> i just dont see the big deal
[12:44] <stickyboy> I just tried to switch from NVIDIA to Nouveau on Natty and now I can't boot... strangely live USB won't boot either.
[12:44] <Gentoo64> theadmin, there probably is..
[12:44] <Gentoo64> lol
[12:44] <jamesw> theadmin: it does, you just have to tweak it for your kernel before compiling it from source
[12:45] <ahhughez> theadmin, ya cheers. I've got no idea why they have removed it here.
[12:45] <ahhughez> Is there a cli way to load system -> preferences?
[12:45] <theadmin> ahhughez: It's probably not present due to you not running GNOME.
[12:45] <Sean__>  when using ddrescue i get the error "ddrescue: write error: Input/output error" what does this mean?
[12:45] <celltech> What's the terminal command for configuring the google talk plugin
[12:45] <jamesw> ahhughez: see menu editor, right click on the menu and go to menu editor. each preferences action is it's own program
[12:46] <ionite> can anyone help me with my ubuntu? i can't connect with my realtek 8172. it is unable to scan for any wireless.
[12:47] <paulus68> !wifi |ionite
[12:47] <ahhughez> theadmin, what would this be if its not gnome (sorry to be hitting you up for noob q's)
[12:47] <theadmin> ahhughez: Probably no such thing at all.
[12:48] <theadmin> ahhughez: I mean, I don't know, MythBuntu runs MythTV which I never used at all
[12:48] <ahhughez> jamesw, this doesnt appear to have a menu editor :'(
[12:48] <trickz> what does the f in tar -xzf smth.tgz do exactly ? (man page wasnt clear) also you can do tar xzf instead of tar -xzf (skip the - ) o.O
[12:49] <ionite> paulus68: i read that but i can't solve it
[12:49] <Gentoo64> trickz, you can skip the -
[12:49] <Gentoo64> trickz, x extracts
[12:49] <trickz> didnt knwo that, for all commands ?
[12:49] <theadmin> trickz: I know you can, yes. x = extract, z = gzip compression, f = from file
[12:49] <stickyboy> trickz: It tells 'tar' to read/write to the file, rather than to the screen.
[12:50] <Gentoo64> trickz, do tar --help its clearer than a man page
[12:50] <trickz> stickyboy: but tar xz smth.tgz actually blocks the console
[12:50] <trickz> same as man :(
[12:50] <ionite> can anyone help me with my ubuntu? i can't connect with my realtek 8172. it is unable to scan for any wireless.
[12:50] <theadmin> trickz: xz reads from STDIN, not from a file
[12:51] <trickz> theadmin: f = from file ,umm from file means ?
[12:51] <stickyboy> trickz: It's waiting for input :)
[12:51] <phlak_user> trickz: i normally type tar zxvf name-of-tar.gz file
[12:51] <Gentoo64> trickz, ah ok its normally clearer for the arguments
[12:51] <Gentoo64> for most progs
[12:51] <theadmin> trickz: From file means from file specified on commandline
[12:51] <theadmin> trickz: NOT from STDIN
[12:51] <celltech> google talk is flash. whats the gstreamer plugin for flash? Cause the properties allows my videocam to work
[12:51] <trickz> got it :) what is device ARCHIVE ?
[12:51] <trickz> phlak_user: v would spit out all the files
[12:52] <phlak_user> trickz: that way we know what's happening wont we?
[12:52] <trickz> well, true :)
[12:52] <jamesw> ionite: did you google? i just googled realtek 8172 ubuntu and i see quite a few links of note
[12:52] <ionite> jamesw: i did and i tried. it still doesn't work.
[12:53] <theadmin> Just so you people know, in recent versions of tar, "z" and "f" flags are unneeded when extracting, it auto-determines the compression type in use :P
[12:53] <theadmin> Err
[12:53] <trickz> :D
[12:53] <theadmin> "z" and "j"*
[12:53] <trickz> thanks tho :)
[12:53] <trickz> one more thing, what is device ARCHIVE ?
[12:53] <phlak_user> ionite: you need to see the logs (sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog) while the scanning etc is going on
[12:53] <phlak_user> theadmin: i prefer to specify it tho ;)
[12:54] <ionite> phlak_user: i got this error： Sep 30 20:04:21 nx116 wpa_supplicant[887]: Failed to disable WPA in the driver.
[12:54] <usr13> theadmin: Thanks for the info... yea, was about to correct you on the "f"  ;)
[12:55] <usr13> so now it's just tar xv  or xvf  ?
[12:55] <ionite> phlak_user: can u please help me with my realtek?
[12:55] <theadmin> usr13: xv for STDIN, xvf for file input
[12:55] <phlak_user> ionite: i can try
[12:55] <theadmin> usr13: You can omit the v as well, it's just for verbosity
[12:55] <usr13> theadmin: Old habits are  hard to break
[12:56] <stickyboy> Man, proprietary NVIDIA modules are a pain in the ass.
[12:56] <usr13> but simple is better
[12:56] <theadmin> usr13: I normally just do "tar xf" or "tar czf"
[12:56] <Loki^1> hi! i get a purple/pink screen just after grub2 starts on ubuntu 11.04, changing plymouth splash color to something else or disabling splash screen in grub kernel line doesnt help it. i ran sudo update-grub. anyone knows a solution how to change or disable that purple screen?
[12:56] <theadmin> usr13: The last one for creation, that is
[12:56] <ionite> phlak_user: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699728/
[12:56] <jamesw> ionite: maybe related? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/401126?comments=all
[12:56] <usr13> czf will to gzip?
[12:57] <theadmin> usr13: Yeah
[12:57] <usr13> Oh yea, that's right, it did before.  Than's not new. (Memory laps)
[12:58] <phlak_user> ionite: were you trying to compile a driver there?
[12:58] <ionite> jamesw: currently it can't even scan for other routers.
[12:58] <ionite> phlak_user: yes i was following some online guides and it didn't work.
[12:58] <usr13> but I always use v.  I suppose I like the conversations I have with my system.
[12:58] <ionite> phlak_user: i don't know what would now..
[12:58] <celltech> Found some gst plug ins but I don't know what one to download
[12:59] <phlak_user> ionite: forget about that for a moment; lets just focus on the driver thats in the current distro
[12:59] <phlak_user> ionite: can you pastebin the output of lsmod
[12:59] <ionite> phlak_user: ok. so what should i do now?
[13:00] <theadmin> usr13: Well, normally I do "tar c blah.file blah.file2 | 7z a -si whatever.tar.7z" actually. But that's when I've got 7-zip installed.
[13:00] <usr13> lsmon | pastebinit     #FYI
[13:01] <usr13> I've not used 7-zip to archive any files yet.
[13:01] <Loki^1> i get a purple blank screen after grub started and before the normal plymoth splash screen starts on ubuntu 11.04 natty, anyone knows how to change the color or disable it?
[13:01] <ahhughez> how can I get the model number of my motherboard?
[13:01] <usr13> ahhughez: look at it
[13:02] <ionite> phlak_user: i can't load pastebin. it's too slow. anywhere else can i paste?
[13:02] <gsommer> I've recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop. Suspend seems to work great (And insanly fast too). But hibernation does not... When trying to resume form hibernation, it will just start the system normally (So, none of my programs are saved). How should I go around debugging this issue ?
[13:02] <jiltdil> How to play .mwv video ?
[13:02] <theadmin> gsommer: You sure you have a swap partition?

[13:02] <gsommer> theadmin: Yes I have, on sda2
[13:03] <gsommer> theadmin: Though, fstab uses UUID
[13:03] <theadmin> gsommer: Is it mounted when you try to hibernate?
[13:03] <LaWU> @jiltdil: Download VLC Media Player.

[13:10] <usr13> ionite: lspci | pastebinit
[13:10] <abhinav_singh1> which tool i should use for debugging HTTP proxy?
[13:10] <usr13> phlak_user: We should see what lspci says about it.

[13:11] <ionite> usr13: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699745/
[13:11] <phlak_user> ionite: you can then go about loading the module
[13:11] <phlak_user> ionite: ok it says theres a Realtek 8172
[13:12] <dalton2345> can someone answer me...why my / go down by itself
[13:13] <LaWU> I want to connect from one computer over the Internet securely to another (both run Ubuntu), are there any applications I can use to do this?
[13:13] <ionite> phlak_user: yep. but i can't get a headstart what should i do to install drivers. because when i go to additional drivers button, it doesn't show anything.
[13:13] <usr13> phlak_user: ionite  Realtek 8172  is a wifi NIC, I'm pretty sure.
[13:13] <jiltdil> LaWU:ssh
[13:13] <phlak_user> usr13: yes i know
[13:13] <ionite> usr13: what'
[13:13] <ionite> usr13: what's a NIC?
[13:14] <Sean__>  when using ddrescue i get the error "ddrescue: write error: Input/output error" what does this mean?

[13:14] <x4nd3r> #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:14] <phlak_user> usr13: maybe hes unloaded the module when trying to compile a new driver (which is what he was doing when i stepped in)
[13:14] <usr13> NIC -  Netwrok Interface Controller
[13:15] <phlak_user> ionite: do you have a wireless on/off switch?
[13:15] <phlak_user> ionite: if yes, pl toggle it to off and then on again
[13:15] <ionite> phlak_user: yes i do but i can't enable it whenever i press FN+F4
[13:15] <x4nd3r> halo!!
[13:15] <LaWU> jiltdil: How do I go about configuring that?
[13:15] <usr13> phlak_user: That's possible.  I see discussion Ubuntu forum about Realtek 8172 Wireless but it's a couple years old.  That indicates to me that it's supposed to just work now.
[13:16] <phlak_user> usr13: yes that what i think too :)
[13:16] <jiltdil> LaWU: only ip of that comp and allowing from firewall
[13:16] <ionite> phlak_user: nothing happens when i press FN+F4
[13:16] <x4nd3r> who can help me with kismet?
[13:16] <LaWU> jiltdil: Cool, I'll give it a shot, thanks.
[13:16] <jiltdil> LaWU: also ssh is allowed via modem
[13:16] <phlak_user> ionite: can you just reboot the machine and then run the lshw -C network command once it comes up
[13:16] <usr13> ionite: This is a laptop, right?  Do you have a switch for it?
[13:17] <ionite> usr13: it's not a switch but it's a keyboard button.
[13:17] <ionite> phlak_user: so i'll restart now yeah? and paste bin?
[13:17] <usr13> ionite: Ok, well as phlak_user says, mabye rebooting witll help.
[13:17] <phlak_user> ionite: yes please and ensure that the wireless switch is up (light glowing etc)
[13:17] <x4nd3r> i'm helpless :(
[13:18] <usr13> x4nd3r: What's wrong with kismet?
[13:18] <ionite> phlak_user: there's no light glowing. or anything. it worked fine with KDE weeks ago.
[13:18] <phlak_user> usr13: whats funny from this post of Jan 11 is that they've recommended compiling a driver for the 8192 as a workaround  -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1665892
[13:19] <phlak_user> ionite: never mind; can you just reboot please
[13:19] <usr13> ionite: I would check with iwconfig    (I don't have much confidence in the light always working).
[13:19] <ionite> phlak_user: so i'll restart now yeah?
[13:19] <phlak_user> ionite: yes
[13:19] <rog> i'm just seeing ubuntuone-syncdaemon use up enormous amounts of resources and slowing down the whole machine
[13:20] <rog> is this a known problem?
[13:21] <LaWU> jiltdil: Will SSH allow me to view the remote computer's desktop?
[13:21] <rog> i've got 8GB of memory on this machine and it's maxing it out and swapping
[13:22] <jiltdil> LaWU: yes if u gain root access u will do everyting :)
[13:22] <theadmin> LaWU: Only with X forwarding
[13:22] <x4nd3r> hyee
[13:22] <jiltdil> LaWU: to view in graphical use X
[13:22] <usr13> phlak_user: I see...  "driver=rtl819xSE"
[13:22] <ionite> phlak_user: still cant. nothing happens.
[13:22] <ionite> usr13: still the same. no change.
[13:23] <LaWU> jiltdil: Okay so I just downloaded it - is there a GUI that allows me to set it up?
[13:23] <x4nd3r> hye
[13:23] <phlak_user> ionite: what was the o/p of lshw -C network?
[13:23] <usr13> phlak_user: I think you're right, he probably  needs rtl819xSE
[13:23] <oooaaaooo> hi guys, am running 11.04 , how do I edit my startup applications? When i launch it from unity search, the only option is to disable currently abled applications but the ones that have been disabled are greyed out.
[13:23] <x4nd3r> kismet problem....huhuu
[13:24] <phlak_user> !patience| x4nd3r
[13:24] <rog> did sudo kill -9 of it and suddenly my memory is back to 10% used.

[13:24] <ionite> phlak_user: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699755/
[13:24] <ionite> usr13: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699755/
[13:24] <ionite> usr13: but i read alot about 8172 requires 8192se. so i'm quite confused. which is which.
[13:24] <phlak_user> ionite: aha - now its not unclaimed!
[13:24] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: dash is the little ubuntu-sign button at the top left corner of unity?
[13:25] <phlak_user> ionite: can you also paste output of lsmod?
[13:25] <janis> hi guys!! Can I force aptitude do do what I tell it?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: sure, or you can press SuperL

[13:25] <ubuntuss> does anyone know how to deactivate the internal wifi card? mine isnt that good so I bought an external one. I can deactivate wifi via "sudo iwconfig eth2 txpower off". But then I cant use no wifi anymore... Can someone help?
[13:25] <phlak_user> ubuntuss: you can blacklist the internal card module
[13:25] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: yeah thats what IM talking about, that pulls it up but i cant enable currently disabled options; all i can do is disable currently enabled applications. Is this a permissions issue?
[13:26] <ajin1> hi,all
[13:26] <ajin1> long time no see
[13:26] <x4nd3r> sry,,,,

[13:26] <ionite> phlak_user: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699757/
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: on the right, is the 'add' button present?
[13:26] <ionite> usr13: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699757/
[13:26] <janis> ActionParsnip, I assume you are freferring to the --full-resolver cmdline option?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> janis: no idea, I don't use aptitude
[13:26] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: yeah
[13:27] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: but i dont wanna add apps, just enable ones already in the list
[13:27] <phlak_user> ionite: ok i see this module -> r8192se_pci
[13:27] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: but theyre greyed out and I cant select them
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: then click that and add what you want
[13:27] <phlak_user> ionite: what is the output of sudo iwconfig
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: if they are not enabled then don't sweat them
[13:28] <ajin1> hey guys,question! my ubuntu10.04 has a very slow internet access using ADSL, anyone know how?
[13:28] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: what? I want to enable them
[13:28] <Fudge> hi what coulod be causing this dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: syntax error: unknown user 'debian-transmission' in statoverride file
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: all it does it add a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart    you could have a look in there
[13:28] <ionite> phlak_user: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699759/
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: adding the same item, will effetively enable it
[13:28] <ionite> phlak_user: does that means that i should instsall 8191se?
[13:28] <phlak_user> ionite: that means its installed and working fine
[13:28] <usr13> phlak_user: http://www.linwik.com/wiki/using+the+realtek+8172+and+8192se+wireless+controller+with+ubuntu+9.10
[13:29] <phlak_user> usr13: he seems to have the correct module (8192se)
[13:29] <usr13> ionite: phlak_user   I don't see rtl anything in  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/699757/
[13:29] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: how did they get greyed out?
[13:29] <usr13> phlak_user: Oh?   What does iwconfig say?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: no idea, I always just add my own files in the autostart folder :)
[13:30] <phlak_user> ionite: look at sl no 36
[13:30] <ionite> phlak_user: ??
[13:30] <usr13> phlak_user: I see:  r8192se_pci    I guess that is it...
[13:30] <Sean__>  when using ddrescue i get the error "ddrescue: write error: Input/output error" what does this mean?
[13:30] <phlak_user> ionite: sorry that was for usr13 :)
[13:30] <ubuntuss> phlak_user: http://codepaste.net/rc2rqi
[13:30] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: well thats one way to go about it, but I'd like to know why theyre being greyed out. I cant keep re-adding programs as my needs change
[13:31] <ubuntuss> do you know what the name of that wifi module is?
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> Sean__: sounds like the IDE is faulty, or the destination partition is full or having issue
[13:31] <Dex> hello again. i have another problem. after remove a pci express video adapter and back to integrate video adapter - after loading system i see only black screen without any login window.i think there are incorrect config from old card. how can fix this.
[13:31] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: i believe the whole idea is to be able to on-the-fly enable/disable an added item
[13:31] <phlak_user> ionite: now if you click on network manager applet you should see wireless networks
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: that's all I know dude, I don't use GUI apps much, they are too slow
[13:31] <ionite> phlak_user: no i don't it says no net work found.
[13:31] <usr13> ionite: iwconfig   #Try toggeling it on / off and see if you get anything encouraging in the output of   iwconfig
[13:31] <phlak_user> ubuntuss: ipw2200 its an intel
[13:32] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: alright wheres the autostart folder
[13:32] <phlak_user> ionite: so is there a wireless network around? like an AP or a router ?
[13:32] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: is there a conf file?
[13:32] <phlak_user> ionite:  you can also type sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: ~/.config/autostart    you may find the disabled items there and see how they differ to the enabled ones
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: its just a folder
[13:33] <ionite> phlak_user: sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning wlan0     No scan results
[13:33] <phlak_user> ionite: right; this means its scanning but cant find any networks
[13:33] <ionite> phlak_user: there are plenty of wireless around.
[13:34] <ionite> phlak_user: my mum is using the wireless. my net book is just sitting infront of my router.
[13:34] <phlak_user> ionite: ok
[13:34] <phlak_user> ionite: can you paste o/p of tail -f /var/log/syslog when you run the scanning command
[13:35] <KATUSSS> hey yo fellows i am back
[13:35] <slestak> anyone using tmux on 11.04?
[13:35] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: i see a difference in the .Desktop file : X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
[13:35] <slestak> mine was working, but my vps provider moved me to another node.  seems to have broken since the move
[13:35] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: i suppose changing that to a true will enable it..?
[13:36] <slestak> getting a “create session failed: : No such file or directory”
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: try it, you already know how to change it back ;)
[13:36] <zamba> how do i disable the animation when switching workspaces in ubuntu?
[13:36] <phlak_user> zamba:  play with ccsm
[13:36] <phlak_user> !info ccsm
[13:36] <KATUSSS> which is the best website to download likewise
[13:36] <ubuntuss> phlak_user thx I will reboot now
[13:36] <zamba> phlak_user: exactly where?
[13:36] <ubuntuss> hope it helps
[13:37] <ionite> phlak_user: i've got WICD installed i tot it would improve but it's the same. what's more weird is that it was working just 2 days ago. and i didn't do anything to it. it just couldn't connect after a restart.
[13:37] <ionite> phlak_user: do i paste the entire sys log?
[13:37] <phlak_user> ionite: nope just the part where it talks about the wireless card
[13:38] <phlak_user> zamba: http://wiki.compiz.org/CCSM
[13:38] <oooaaaooo> ActionParsnip: yeah that does the trick... except i should be able to "access" my .desktop file from the startup manager
[13:38] <ionite> phlak_user: it's so long how do i which part to copy?
[13:38] <ionite> phlak_user: oh ok. hang on.

[13:50] <Dex> ActionParsnip: howto set this mode "nomodeset" to the bootloader? or any else?
[13:51] <ionite> phlak_user: i don't have any display when i hit the command.
[13:51] <phlak_user> ionite: what command are you entering?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | dex

[13:52] <Guest75492> hi
[13:53] <phlak_user> ionite: i see no other option but to recompile with a new (latest?) driver
[13:53] <ionite> phlak_user: so how do i go about?
[13:53] <phlak_user> ionite: can you follow this please -> http://www.linwik.com/wiki/using+the+realtek+8172+and+8192se+wireless+controller+with+ubuntu+9.10
[13:53] <phlak_user> ionite: though it says 9.10 it should still work for later versions as is evident in the comments
[13:54] <ionite> phlak_user: please guide me together while i follow the instructions on the website.
[13:54] <ionite> phlak_user: so i'll d/l 8191 se?
[13:54] <phlak_user> ionite: which kernel version are you on? uname -a should tell you
[13:54] <peto> hi :) where can i find launcher properties in Ubuntu 11.10? :)
[13:54] <phlak_user> ionite: hang on

[13:55] <farciarz84> how to check which driver version do I have? e.g 2D driver: xf86-video-intel
[13:55] <phlak_user> ionite: ok download this file -> Linux driver for kernel 2.6.34 (and earlier)
[13:56] <usr13> phlak_user: Is he on  Ubuntu 11.04 ?
[13:56] <phlak_user> usr13: im assuming he is
[13:56] <phlak_user> ionite: what is the output of lsb_release -a
[13:57] <ServerTechLaptop> Can i somehow find out if the system reads a RAM stick?
[13:57] <usr13> ionite: He must be 10.04    Yes, ionite show is the output of   lsb_release -a
[13:58] <ionite> phlak_user: No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Release:	10.04 Codename:	lucid

[13:58] <ActionParsnip> ionite: no bad thing
[13:58] <usr13> ionite: You didn't know that?
[13:58] <ionite> usr13: i tot i was using 11.04
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> ionite: lucid is still fully supported
[13:59] <usr13> ionite: As ActionParsnip points out,  10.04  is LTS
[13:59] <ionite> phlak_user: am i at the right d/l page? http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> ionite: Lucid desktop is EOL when Oneiric support ends, so is supported longer then Natty
[14:00] <ionite> usr13: any difference from 11.04? why are there different versions? what kinda users are they for?
[14:00] <usr13> ionite: At any rate, if you compile from source,  you should pick "Linux driver for kernel 2.6.34 (and earlier)" when you go to  http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8192SE
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> ionite: later kernel, later drivers, later Xorg etc. May help
[14:01] <usr13> ionite: Has this been upgraded?  Maybe from an original netbook install?
[14:01] <ionite> usr13: if i were to chose RTL8191SE-VA2 is this correct?
[14:01] <phlak_user> ionite: 8192SE not 8191SE
[14:02] <ionite> phlak_user: oic. so basically my problem is that i d/l the wrong driver?
[14:02] <phlak_user> ionite: nope; that didnt get installed; the one you have was part of the kernel
[14:03] <usr13> ionite: FYI:   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[14:03] <ionite> phlak_user: oic. so i d/l the 2.6.34?
[14:03] <phlak_user> ionite: ok download this file -> Linux driver for kernel 2.6.34 (and earlier)
[14:03] <ionite> usr13: i'm sorry i really didn't knew i was on LTS. cuz i'm such a linux noob. and i really wanted to break free from Windows.
[14:03] <usr13> ionite: rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0019.1207.2010.tar.gz

[14:10] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: hmm, you have the PAE kernel.Do you have onboard graphics?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> qwer: compiz can do that, there is also devilspie (grab gdevilspie from google code) which can tell apps how to run and such
[14:10] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, yes i do. I don't use it though. I have an nVidia card.
[14:10] <ionite> usr13: ok
[14:10] <usr13> ionite: Did you get it unpacked?
[14:11] <ionite> usr13: yep
[14:11] <usr13> If so, cd to the resulting directory.
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: did you diable the onboard in the BIOS or do you use the onboard?
[14:11] <usr13> cd rtl8192se_linux_2.6.    #Hit tab key for auto-completion
[14:11] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, disabled in the BIOS.
[14:12] <ionite> usr13: ok i'm at step 9 now
[14:12] <ajin1> ActionParsnip: how long have you been using linux as your sole OS?
[14:12] <ionite> usr13: sorry i mean step 8. it's still making
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: I'd double check in BIOS. You may want to try a 64bit live CD to see if it sees all the RAM
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> ajin1: since 2000/2001 ish
[14:13] <usr13> ionite: Be patient, let it finish.
[14:13] <usr13> and then:  sudo cp HAL/rtl8192/r8192se_pci.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/
[14:13] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, can't. P4EE's don't support 64. Or else i would have.
[14:13] <ionite> usr13: ok.
[14:13] <ajin1> ActionParsnip: no wonder
[14:13] <ionite> usr13: now i just done step 9 and 10
[14:13] <qwer> ActionParsnip: I will need to configure compiz with CCSM ??
[14:13] <usr13> yes
[14:14] <ionite> usr13: so i gotta restart yeah?
[14:14] <qwer> usr13: to me ?
[14:14] <usr13> did you do  sudo depmod -a  ?
[14:14] <ionite> phlak_user: u there? thanks so much for ur help. i'm gonna restart and hope it works.
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: dang, Those EEs are nice!
[14:14] <ionite> usr13: yes i did. i'm gonna restart now.
[14:14] <usr13> qwer: Sorry, that was for ionite
[14:14] <usr13> ionite: iwconfig
[14:14] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, :P. Well they don't support 64.
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> qwer: I'd ask in #compiz but I know it can, maybe others can advise here too. I've not used it in that way
[14:14] <usr13> ionite: Yes, restart and see if it works.
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: true :( have you tested your RAM health
[14:15] <qwer> okay, thx
[14:15] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, new ram, purchased 3 days ago.
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: can be DOA
[14:15] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, doa?
[14:15] <bastidrazor> dead on arrival
[14:16] <usr13> I gotta go now.  Enjoyed it.  Thanks all (for putting up with me)  ;0
[14:16] <ServerTechLaptop> lawl no, ActionParsnip, they're perfectly fine. :P
[14:16] <ServerTechLaptop> or i could just test each stick one by one... long task-,-
[14:17] <dr_willis> How do you prove they are not DOA?  you have to test each one..
[14:17] <dr_willis> Ive had Memory slots  on the mb go 'bad' also.
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: so you have tested them?
[14:17] <ServerTechLaptop> dr_willis, I used 2.5 gigs till yesterday, and i added 1 new gig. All 4 ports are working fine too.
[14:17] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, ^^
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: the memtest will test the whole lot
[14:17] <ServerTechLaptop> hold on, ill start memtest.
[14:17] <dr_willis> they can go bad at any time..
[14:18] <dr_willis> 3.5 gb in 4 slots? Hmm.
[14:18] <dr_willis> ages ago memory had to match. :) but i think thats showing my age.
[14:18] <Abhijit_> hi.how to make mobile phone memory card mount as read/write. it is mounting default as read oonly. help!!!
[14:18] <ionite> phlak_user: still can't work
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: 3x1gb and 1x512mb ram sticks
[14:18] <ionite> ActionParsnip: usr13 is gone?
[14:18] <ServerTechLaptop> dr_willis, old motherboard, D:
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> ionite: seems so
[14:19] <grkblood> I installed 10.10 64-bit and I got prompted to install additional drivers for my video card. I installed the additional drivers and now my laptop locks up at "checking battery state..." when booting up
[14:19] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  try accessing it as root.. see if root can write to it. if so. you can make a fstab entry, or install/run ntfs-config to make it accessable by all users.
[14:19] <ionite> ActionParsnip: oh no. it still didn't work.
[14:19] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, tried with root. no luck.
[14:19] <dr_willis> ages ago you had to have pairs..  :)
[14:19] <ionite> phlak_user: it still didn't work should i reinstall my entire OS?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> grkblood: boot to root recovery mode and reinstall gnome-power-manager
[14:19] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, tried with sudo mount -o remount, rw '/media/1234-5678/' still no luck
[14:19] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  so its mounted but not writeable but is readable? check dmesg output for any error messages perhaps.
[14:20] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, shoud i pastebin the dmsg output?
[14:20] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  just try to write to it as  the root user. not remounting it. :)
[14:20] <dr_willis> cd /media/whatever   sudo touch testfile
[14:20] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, tired to write to it using root using cp. no luck.
[14:20] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, okay so even the bios shows only 3071mb, possible memory slot problem, will have to recheck everything.
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: ;)
[14:20] <Solved> Is there any way to sudo apt-get install (file) for your regular Ubuntu partition, while booted up from live CD?
[14:20] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, still gonna run a memtest.
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: if you get hardware issues, check the hardware  first
[14:21] <dr_willis> Solved:  chroot into the install. use apt as normal.
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechLaptop: may need a BIOS update to get more rAM accessible
[14:21] <Solved> dr_willis: what do you mean by chroot into the install
[14:21] <grkblood> ActionParsnip, i dont think my build is making it to grub
[14:21] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, will touch work for folder?
[14:21] <dr_willis> Solved:  use the chroot command as needed to get into a chroot envuroment.
[14:21] <grkblood> could i do anything with boot options?
[14:21] <ServerTechLaptop> ActionParsnip, i know, lol this bios is old. Though i don't find a proper update to flash it with o.O
[14:21] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  touch sets the date, or creates a file  normally.  its just a simple test.
[14:21] <Solved> dr_willis: So like, chroot /dev/sda5 ?
[14:22] <Abhijit_> okies
[14:22] <dr_willis> Solved:  you will want to read up on chroot.. you chroot into a Mountpoint.. not a device like that.
[14:22] <dr_willis> chroot /media/THeRootOfTheInstalledSystem
[14:22] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, the command sudo touch testfile just worked. but no output seen.
[14:23] <Solved> dr_willis: I don't really know much about Ubuntu. I just need to get a single file which will make it stop freezing everytime I boot up normally
[14:23] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  so somtign is odd.. you made a file. AN empty one.. :) but still a file
[14:23] <dr_willis> Solved:  'get' a file?
[14:23] <helo_> strange... 1MB/sec of dhcp discover/offer tradffic
[14:24] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, okies. but how can we solve this?
[14:24] <Solved> dr_willis: I need to apt-get ubuntu-desktop, but I can't do it from regular boot up or it freezes before I can
[14:24] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  does cp give some error? or just says read only? if the thing is having read/write errors. it may become read-only to prevent damage.
[14:24] <helo_> all i can get are mac addresses of the requestsers, so this may be hard to track down
[14:24] <Anarasha> Hello everyone :D
[14:24] <dr_willis> Solved:  that is not a simple file. :) it will reinstall a lot of things.  You have tried the recovery/rescue mode on grub or the text option to get to the console?
[14:24] <ServerTechLaptop> ohh and ActionParsnip, do you know how i could add a wireless network, such that my android device could see it? Cause it doesn't seem to be finding ad-hoc connections. It works with connectify though, but that's only for windows, and i hate my laptop's wifi range.
[14:25] <Solved> dr_willis: I've tried recovery mode-also freezes
[14:25] <Solved> dr_willis: Whats the text option though?
[14:25] <dr_willis> !text
[14:25]  * helo_ hugs gkrellm for the heads-up
[14:25] <dr_willis> Solved:  why do you think 'ubuntu-desktop' will keep it from freezing?
[14:25] <Solved> dr_willis: Alright, I'll try that, thanks
[14:25] <Anarasha> I have an issue that I hope someone can help me with. I have a webcam from a long dead company. It works fine and well locally, I can view it in cheese, VLC and the IM clients' webcam settings box. But I can't broadcast it. Anyone know what this could be because?
[14:26] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, when i treid to sudo cp some time ago it gave error but just now i tried again and now its just hanging there
[14:26] <Solved> dr_willis: I wanted to try ubuntu-netbook, but it seems it needs too much process power
[14:26] <Solved> And now I can't get back
[14:26] <caddoo> is there a equalizer for ubuntu
[14:26] <caddoo> that works globally
[14:26] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  ch4eck 'dmesg' output now.
[14:26] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, wait i think its worked
[14:26] <Abhijit_> let me check the songs
[14:26] <SadlyMistaken> equalizer¿
[14:26] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  there may be some hardware issues going on.
[14:26] <sword_> hey when I do an iptables -L on a ubuntu server, which file is it drawing from?
[14:27] <dr_willis> Solved:  you installed ubuntu-netbook, then tried to remove it.. and broke things?
[14:27] <sword_> I want to add an iptables rule to open port 25 but I want it to save
[14:27] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, yes. it worked. the files copied successfully. any guess what can cause this? becuase hardware is mobile phone which is working fine. and this same issue happen with my mobile too sometimes. then othertimes it dont happen.
[14:27] <caddoo> SadlyMistaken, yes for sound
[14:27] <RaTTuS|BIG> I've got Ubuntu running fine on a eeepc701 - but fullscreen vieo playback is stuttery  - any clues to help get it to be better
[14:27] <caddoo> add extra bass etc
[14:27] <sword_> and I don't see a script on this server
[14:27] <Solved> dr_willis: No, I never got the chance to try to remove it. My computer always freezes whenever I try to use too much graphics
[14:27] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  hard to tell. cable loose?
[14:28] <dr_willis> Solved:  revovery/rescue mode dosent use X. so that shoudent be the reason for the freezing.
[14:28] <Solved> dr_willis: Like I have to set visual effects to none or it freezes
[14:28] <dr_willis> Solved:  neither does text mode.
[14:28] <adante> can someone recommend a livecd that boots into a console
[14:28] <adante> or can the ubuntu livecd do this?
[14:28] <dr_willis> effects are not in 'effect' untill after the GDM login.. so  again Solved . somthing else may be wrong/broken.
[14:28] <adante> i've got a computer here with a faulty gfx card (i think), keeps tanking when it tries to initialise any fancy graphics
[14:28] <RaTTuS|BIG> adante - ctrl -alt - f1 may help
[14:29] <Anarasha> I think my question was missed, so I will post it again :)
[14:29] <dr_willis> adante:   try the text option perhaps.. or theres doxzens of live cds out there that can do it. like 'tiny core linux'
[14:29] <Anarasha> I have a webcam of unknown make that works locally but won't broadcast. Any ideas how to fix it?
[14:29] <Solved> dr_willis: I don't know, It freezes from the moment I fresh install (if I don't set graphics to none)
[14:29] <ChogyDan> Anarasha: what is broadcast?
[14:29] <dr_willis> Anarasha:  you mean it wont work with some apps that are broadcasting? ie: flash ?
[14:29] <theadmin> !repeat | Anarasha
[14:29] <Solved> *special effects
[14:29] <dr_willis> Solved:  whats your video chipset?
[14:29] <Anarasha> send the picture out online through IM clients or online websites
[14:29] <adante> RaTTuS|BIG: that's after gfx starts right? unfortunately the comp reboots when it tries to init fancy graphics
[14:30] <Solved> dr_willis: I don't know :(
[14:30] <RaTTuS|BIG> adante ... ahah right ....
[14:30] <dr_willis> Solved:  that would be the #1 thing to find out. :)  you may just need to install the right drivers
[14:30] <adante> dr_willis: is that text mode installation or something else?
[14:30] <dr_willis> adante:  theres live cd's that can do console only.
[14:30] <ChogyDan> adante: I think you can set the run level at the grub menu.  You need to put a 0 somewhere at the end of the boot line.  I really don't know the specifics of how to do it
[14:30] <Abhijit_> dr_willis, no! cable is not loose! :-) anyway the issue is solved for the timebeing. thanks! :-)
[14:30] <dr_willis> adante:  depends on yoru needs.  'text' mode in ubuntu live cd might work.
[14:30] <dr_willis> Abhijit_:  dog chewed on it.
[14:31] <Solved> dr_willis:Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller
[14:31] <adante> dr_willis: how do i enable that? i know there's a text mode installer on the alt cd, i'm unfamilar with text mode - is this just a grub setting you pass in?
[14:31] <dr_willis> !text
[14:31] <adante> dr_willis: thanks!
[14:31] <dr_willis> of coruse the live cd. you need to hit space at the little man=keyboard logo. then  add the option
[14:31] <adante> ChogyDan: cheers, i'll have a look for that if dr_willis' text mode don't work
[14:31] <dr_willis> since the cd is using syslinux.
[14:32] <adante> dr_willis: righto cheers
[14:32] <dr_willis> i will bbl.
[14:32] <ChogyDan> adante: no, that's probably what you want, gl!
[14:32] <Solved> dr_willis: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller
[14:32] <openbees> how to install git with GUI ..?
[14:32] <theadmin> openbees: GIT has no GUI :/
[14:33]  * Abhijit_ dont have a dog!
[14:33] <theadmin> openbees: Unless gitk counts, that is
[14:34] <openbees> how to setup it in ubuntu...there are too many packages i USC ...which one i should install ?
[14:35] <openbees> in UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTRE *
[14:36] <ChogyDan> openbees: I think you should install git-core and then the git gui package you want
[14:37] <ionite> phlak_user: it still didn't work should i reinstall my entire OS?
[14:38] <ChogyDan> Anarasha: I think you are going to need to go into greater detail of what steps you are taking.  Please try to keep it to one line
[14:39] <zoop3> where is the log file that logs the boot process? I'm stuck at a screen with a blinking icon after doing an update...
[14:39] <LaWU> Anyone that can help me out on how to connect from one computer to another over the Internet on Ubuntu?
[14:39] <ikonia> LaWU: define "connect"
[14:39] <theadmin> LaWU: Try teamviewer...
[14:39] <LaWU> Secure, and I want to be able to see the actual desktop.
[14:40] <ikonia> LaWU: you're going to need to use something like vnc over ssh,
[14:40] <ikonia> or as theadmin
[14:40] <ikonia> said
[14:40] <Seoester> i think you can tunnel vnc over ssh....
[14:40] <Seoester> but it isn't so easy
[14:41] <LaWU> Yeah that I noticed...
[14:42] <LaWU> I did not know TeamViewer was available for Linux though... :P
[14:42] <Seoester> just visit the website
[14:42] <LaWU> Checking it out now. :)
[14:42] <LaWU> Thanks!
[14:43] <pepito> hi
[14:43] <pepito> can i ask support questions here?
[14:43] <ikonia> pepito: if it's about ubuntu, sure
[14:43] <LaWU> Ofcourse.
[14:43] <debian-linux> hi
[14:44] <pepito> alright thanks
[14:44] <sattu94> JOIN #bash
[14:44] <pepito> its about internet being too slow on ubuntu
[14:44] <pepito> i have a compaq presario c700
[14:44] <debian-linux> hello eryone
[14:44] <theadmin> pepito: What is your connection?
[14:44] <pepito> i've tried turning off ipv6 in all different ways i found on the internet
[14:44] <Bish> LaWU, well it's wine and a bit of black magic
[14:45] <pepito> i ve also tried accessing IPs directly to see if it was a DNS problem
[14:45] <pepito> what do you mean my internet connection? wifi or ethernet?
[14:45] <LaWU> Bish: How so?
[14:45] <theadmin> pepito: Yes, wi-fi, ethernet, pptp, what is it?
[14:45] <pepito> i've tried both
[14:45] <Bish> LaWU, i mean teamviewer.. it just the windows version with a wine version included, which works
[14:45] <ikonia> pepito: are you using a wireless network connection, or a cabled connection
[14:46] <pepito> i tried wifi and ethernet, same problem in both
[14:46] <pepito> on empathy, i get messages pretty quickly
[14:46] <ikonia> pepito: could you please open a terminal and type "ping www.google.com" and pastebin the results.
[14:46] <LaWU> Bish: Yeah, just downloaded it - exactly the same thing... :P
[14:47] <pepito> i dont notice a problem there, i think when its only when its more data like on web pages
[14:47] <pepito> alright
[14:47] <pepito> i will
[14:47] <pepito> sec
[14:47] <ServerTech|Alt> okay.
[14:47] <ikonia> ServerTech|Alt: ?

[14:48] <pepito> i ll paste them
[14:48] <kum92000> hello
[14:48] <ikonia> pepito: please use a patebin
[14:48] <ikonia> pastebin
[14:48] <pepito> alright
[14:49] <kandinski> where does apt put the virtualbox-guest-additions-iso when you apt-get install the package? I can't find it...
[14:49] <compdoc> kandinski, not sure, but you could make a copy of it when its mounted in a guest
[14:49] <pepito> here it is http://pastebin.com/nP7NKGTR
[14:50] <ikonia> pepito: that's not terrible network response
[14:50] <ikonia> pepito: that's pretty reasonable for a home connection
[14:51] <kandinski> compdoc: well, I am looking to mount it as a guest, that's why I ask where it is
[14:51] <ikonia> pepito: please visit speedtest.net tell me your results
[14:51] <pepito> yeah actually it is, i hadnt used ping in a long time and i thought it would be instant
[14:51] <compdoc> kandinski, use the gui to mount it into the guest. thats how I did it
[14:51] <pepito> alright i ll try speedtest.net
[14:51] <compdoc> let me fire up the box
[14:51] <kandinski> it's not downloading for me. the url is from sun, maybe that's it
[14:52] <compdoc> kandinski, let me search the name to see if it exists on the system
[14:54] <kdog> gwibber is uninspiring to me. What app is recommended for interacting with twitter?
[14:55] <compdoc> kandinski, it doesnt seem to exist as an iso on my system
[14:56] <Guest99868> afternoon
[14:57] <pepito> ikonia: im installing flash now, i ll get the results in a min
[14:57] <ikonia> pepito: ahh, I forgot it needed flash, sorry
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> kdog: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/  or  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/category/app/
[14:57] <compdoc> kandinski, you there?
[14:58] <CallidusDragon> Greetings.
[14:58] <compdoc> kandinski, /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
[14:58] <Guest99868> any1 know how i go about installing the latest version to a usb pen drive ?? im currently using an old live cd v7 or something
[14:59] <ardian> Hi is there any IDE like Visual Studio c++ for Ubuntu ?
[14:59] <pepito> ikonia: that's alright, i though chrome came with flash but it seems it doesnt
[14:59] <kandinski> compdoc: thanks a lot
[14:59] <Arbition> ardian: eclipse?
[14:59] <meco> I've just figured out how to capture audio streams (with 'clive'). Now I'd like to be able to set a timer to record radio shows in the middle of the night. How do I go about doing that?
[15:00] <ardian> Arbition, eats to much of ram I need it for a netbook
[15:00] <synrat> is anyone using dual monitors with gnome-shell ( 11.10 ) ? all I'm seeing is 2 empty screens.
[15:00] <ChogyDan> meco: just a guess, but maybe the at command.  So: record_my_program at time
[15:00] <oCean> synrat: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[15:00] <Arbition> IDE on a netbook huh? I would have thought you needed all the screen space you can get
[15:00] <RaTTuS|BIG> meco look at at
[15:01] <meco> ok
[15:01] <Arbition> kdevelop comes to mind, I don't think it is java based
[15:01] <Guest99868> so confused
[15:01] <RaTTuS|BIG> Guest99868 about what
[15:01]  * CallidusDragon sighs "why is using ssh such a pain?"
[15:02] <Guest99868> im currently using some old ubuntu live cd i found, all i wana do is get the lastest version to boot from a pen drive....
[15:02] <RaTTuS|BIG> ssh is not a pain - whats up
[15:02] <Arbition> what are you trying to do with ssh though?
[15:02] <CallidusDragon> I can only use basic command line stuff
[15:02] <CallidusDragon> copying deleting, etc
[15:02] <RaTTuS|BIG> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ <- boot linux from usb
[15:02] <CallidusDragon> Im even familiar with apt
[15:02] <ikonia> CallidusDragon: be great if you could stop cross-posting your rantings in #ubuntu and #ubuntu-server
[15:02] <Arbition> let me guess, you want to use graphical apps over ssh?
[15:03] <Arbition> have you tried using the -X or -Y option with ssh?
[15:03]  * RaTTuS|BIG rolls eyes - yougsters these days.
[15:03] <CallidusDragon> actually ive been looking into trying that
[15:03] <Guest99868> yes but im currently in linux, and ive no idea how too run programs i tried a few on there and all i get are errors. im new to this linux, i just need a machine for net access as my hdd gone down
[15:03] <kdog> ActionParsnip, thanks.
[15:03] <CallidusDragon> but Im having a hard time finding the documentation
[15:03] <Arbition> RaTTuS|BIG: define: youngster
[15:04] <RaTTuS|BIG> anyone who needs pictures to use anything
[15:04] <Guest99868> all i get are errors about handling this type of file...
[15:04] <jpds> CallidusDragon: What are you trying to do exactly?
[15:04] <CallidusDragon> I dont need pictures. I need a command line that doesent feel like it was engineered 20 yrs ago. :/
[15:04] <Arbition> RaTTuS|BIG: and you help out in #ubuntu?
[15:04] <RaTTuS|BIG> ;-p
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> CallidusDragon: bash is extremely powerful
[15:04] <ikonia> jpds: I've already asked and the random complaining just continues
[15:04] <pepito> ikonia: doesnt flash work on linux?
[15:04] <jcpham> how could one improve on a command line
[15:04] <ikonia> pepito: should do
[15:04] <pepito> i cant install it
[15:04] <jcpham> you type commands in it
[15:04] <RaTTuS|BIG> scp file dest.ip.:files
[15:04] <ikonia> pepito: what's the issue
[15:04] <Polah> CallidusDragon: Just because it was first developed 20 years ago doesn't mean it isn't up to date or the most powerful tool you have for managing your system.
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> pepito: works perfectly here
[15:05] <Arbition> I like mc
[15:05] <CallidusDragon> I know this.
[15:05] <CallidusDragon> it however is not intuitive.
[15:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> or even rsync if you have lots
[15:05] <CallidusDragon> I mean, I had a better time learning dos.
[15:05] <sebastian> hi guys i have a question....i have a nokia n97. and i use putty on my nokia to connect to my server. but is there a program to connect with my nokia so i see the desktop
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> CallidusDragon: sure it is, there are even man pages for each command
[15:05] <ikonia> CallidusDragon: please focus on one channel, you are just rambling in here
[15:05] <Polah> CallidusDragon: There's a man page for almost any command you want.
[15:05] <Guest99868> how can i run .exe, everyone i try says it candle hand
[15:06] <Arbition> sebastian: depends if you can get vnc for your n97
[15:06] <Guest99868> le this type
[15:06] <ikonia> CallidusDragon: please focus on #ubuntu-server and actually ask a question
 use wine
[15:06] <RaTTuS|BIG> Guest99868 you cannot [easily] ruin .exe on linux
[15:06] <Gnea> CallidusDragon: that's because DOS was written by those without real vision
[15:06] <Polah> Guest99868: .exe defines Windows executables. You need wine to run Windows programs in Linux.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Guest99868: install wine, it can run some windows apps. Check the appdb for compatibility
[15:06] <pepito> ikonia: when i try to install from adobe's page it takesme to ubuntu's software center, it seems it's isntalling it but it doesnt do it
[15:06] <Polah> RaTTuS|BIG: You can quite easily, it just may not work (:
[15:06] <ikonia> pepito: install the ubuntu package flashplugin-nonfree
[15:06] <Abhijit> anyone successful at running nokia pc suit from wine and getting it detect your phone? help?
[15:06] <pepito> alright
[15:06] <Guest99868> ok is there a version of the usbinstallers etc that runs on linux ?
[15:06] <RaTTuS|BIG> Polah yeah ....
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> pepito: can you give a pastebin of:  uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|grep|swf'
[15:07] <Polah> Guest99868: System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator
[15:07] <Arbition> I feel like a troll, seeing as I don't use ubuntu. Many of these questions don't seem all that ubuntu specific though..
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest99868: unetbootin is another
[15:07] <Gnea> Guest99868: usb creator or unetbootin
[15:07] <Guest99868> nope i dont have that listed, im on ubuntu 7 or something, very old
[15:07] <Guest99868> i have unetbootin but its an exe
[15:07] <RaTTuS|BIG> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest99868: ubuntu 7.xx is dead, no more support
[15:08] <Gnea> Guest99868: you may need to manually install it from the standard ubuntu repository
[15:08] <Polah> Guest99868: Indeed that is old. That's unsupported now so you won't be able to get unetbootin from the repos. Get unetbootin for Linux from their website.
[15:08] <pepito> ActionParsnip: sec i ll restart firefox, see if it installed now
[15:08] <RaTTuS|BIG> ^ wht they say
[15:08] <Arbition> reminds me of the old days of knoppix
[15:08] <Gnea> Guest99868: you're better off just upgrading to 8
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest99868: or clean install natty :)
[15:09] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: but then s/he'd have to use unity :)
[15:09] <Arbition> Troll answer: install gentoo
[15:09] <Polah> I thnik that's what he's trying to do, just using 7.X to get a newer ISO
[15:09] <ktosiek> Gnea: not really, no :-P
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: gnome classic or gnome fallback will be fine :)
[15:09] <Gnea> ktosiek: well true, but default values are default values :p
[15:09] <Arbition> hope he has enough ram or drive space to store an iso
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: who's to say that the user uses gnome ;)
[15:10] <RaTTuS|BIG> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/usb-installs-from-linux/
[15:10] <RaTTuS|BIG> may help
[15:10] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: well, based on the line of questioning and the way they are being answered, it sounds to me like a very basic understanding, so I'm going to go with "It's highly likely" ;)
[15:10] <Gamblor> Hi there, I'm having some difficulty installing ubuntu 11.04 on my Macbook pro. I've installed rEFIt and get some options at boot but neither seem to work.
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: i assume nothing :)
[15:11] <Arbition> EFI, fun
[15:11] <ChogyDan> Guest99868: there are old repos that may have the last updated version for that Ubuntu available
[15:11] <ChogyDan> !eol | Guest99868
[15:11] <Abhijit>  /j #wine
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> Gamblor: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded?
[15:12] <lauratika> hi, how can i see which process are being use by swap?
[15:12] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: if you don't assume they are running gnome, then by that logic, you could very well be assuming that they're running kde :)  OTOH, I doubt that they're running E17 :p
[15:12] <Arbition> I note that I successfully installed 11.04 on virtualbox with EFI, but it did not boot.
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: its all equally possible
[15:12] <Gamblor> ActionParsnip: Would "check disk for defects" accomplish this or should I do it externally?
[15:12] <Guest99868> ok back in a min gona restart
[15:12] <Gnea> :)
[15:12] <pepito> ikonia: i'm downloading that package u said, its gong to take like 15 mins
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Gamblor: sure, only a good ISO can make a good CD
[15:12] <ikonia> pepito: that's cool
[15:13] <lauratika> sorry got disconected
[15:13] <pepito> ikonia: it shouldnt be this slow
[15:13] <Gamblor> ActionParsnip: hmm, that option gives me a blank screen :S, guess I'll try it the other way
[15:13] <pepito> ikonia: do you know what it could be?
[15:13] <pepito> ikonia: the cause i mean
[15:13] <ikonia> pepito: I appreciate that
[15:13] <qwer> I configured compiz such that starting pidgin manually runs in desktop-No4. But when it's autostarted after system-startup, it's in desktop 1, why could that bee ??
[15:13] <qwer> manually starting works. ...
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Gamblor: add the boot option: nomodeset    if you use nvidia then add:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[15:14] <ikonia> pepito: get the results of the speedtest and we'll work it through
[15:14] <Abhijit> anyone successful at running nokia pc suit from wine and getting it detect your phone? help?
[15:14] <pepito> ikonia: alright thanks
[15:15] <lauratika> anyone?
[15:15] <bastidrazor> everyone
[15:15] <RaTTuS|BIG> lauratika anyone what
[15:15] <Arbition> Abhijit: Seems rather specific, I wouldn't rely on getting an answer... you might be lucky
[15:15] <Abhijit> Arbition, ok
[15:15] <Gamblor> ActionParsnip: md5 checks out fine
[15:16] <ptu> can u help me!i can't use wifi on ubuntu 11.04
[15:16] <RaTTuS|BIG> ptu - what hardware
[15:16] <koerber> I wanted to try ubuntu netbook edition, so I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook. But it keeps freezing, and I don't want it anymore. How do I get rid of it?
[15:16] <auronandace> Abhijit: you may get a better answer in #winehq
[15:16] <Arbition> Abhijit: have you checked the wine appdb?
[15:16] <Arbition> ptu: what wireless card?
[15:16] <ptu> my lap is dell inspiron 1545
[15:17] <Arbition> that doesn't really help
[15:17] <Gamblor> ActionParsnip: the menu I get when booting is a GRUB menu with Try ubuntu, install ubuntu, and check disk for defects
[15:17] <Arbition> check lspci or lsusb
[15:17] <Abhijit> Arbition, wil check
[15:17] <Abhijit> auronandace, okies
[15:18] <Gamblor> ActionParsnip: not the regular ubuntu livecd menu, although I wonder if that's becuse I put it on usb
[15:18] <Arbition> ptu: look for anything that says ethernet controller, and other things that indicate it is a wireless card, rather than wired ethernet
[15:18] <koerber> I wanted to try ubuntu netbook edition, so I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook. But it keeps freezing, and I don't want it anymore. I tried sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-netbook, but it still looks the same. How do I get rid of it?
[15:19] <ptu> Arbition: 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 13)
[15:19] <ptu> 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
[15:19] <ptu> these are what outputed
[15:19] <Arbition> broadcom, they are only just coming good with linux compatibility... you may need to use ndiswrapper. Otherwise, google is your friend
[15:20] <zaurav> How can I install a more stable version of Firefox? (I'm currently on 7 and it crashes like crazy.) I'd like to install 3.6. is the package available through the repositories? Thanks
[15:20] <ptu> Arbrition: i don't know how can i get driver
[15:20] <Arbition> a search for "BCM4312 linux" or something
[15:20] <ChogyDan> zaurav: why's it crash bro?  :)
[15:21] <Arbition> if you don't find instructions... well, it is a bit in depth. I've not used ndiswrapper myself.
[15:21] <lauratika> RaTTuS|BIG: i was asking how to see what process is used by swap
[15:21] <zaurav> ChogyDan, it always crashes a lot. I use it only to use firebug so I can do my web dev.
[15:21] <ptu> Arbition: thank you alot!i will try more
[15:22] <pepito> why are there two pepitos? lol
[15:22] <pepito> is it me twice?
[15:22] <zaurav> ChogyDan, I don't know why it crashes tho.
[15:22] <RaTTuS|BIG> lauratika top O p
[15:22] <Arbition> ptu: you may be in luck. Ask someone else about searching the repositories. you are after the b43 driver
[15:22] <ChogyDan> zaurav: I encourage you to run firefox from the command line, see if you get any output.  And then file an appropriate bug report.  (I don't know how to run those older version... maybe try chromium)
[15:23] <Abhijit> any good pc suit for nokia phones other than wammu?
[15:23] <RaTTuS|BIG> that is run top and O then p
[15:23] <zaurav> ChogyDan, Thanks, I'll do that.
[15:23] <lauratika> RaTTuS|BIG: unknown argument
[15:23] <RaTTuS|BIG> capital O
[15:23] <RaTTuS|BIG> then p for swap
[15:24] <pepito> ikonia: do you think it could be that ubuntu installed the wrong card drivers?
[15:24] <pepito> ikonia: or if that were the case it wouldnt work at all?
[15:24] <ikonia> pepito:
[15:24] <pepito> ikonia: and it's happening both on wifi and ethernet, so it would be too much coincidence that it got both wrong
[15:25] <ikonia> pepito: we know your speed is good, as your ping results are fine
[15:25] <lauratika> RaTTuS|BIG: after p enter?
[15:25] <ikonia> pepito: lets see the output of speed test and work from there
[15:25] <RaTTuS|BIG> yes
[15:25] <delac> any way to put openoffice in "offline" mode, so that it wont fetch anything from internet e.g. linked images?
[15:25] <lauratika> RaTTuS|BIG: for example im just running right now browser and banshee
[15:26] <Arbition> pepito: It was a different nick, I wouldn't worry
[15:26] <pepito> alright i ll restart
[15:26] <lauratika> banshee is on the swap memory can i change how much memory is using banshee on swap?
[15:26] <Abhijit> delac, try in #openoffice.org
[15:26] <Krenair> Ubuntu 11.04, using classic desktop. How did I manage to get this white interface instead of the normal one? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10971457/Ubuntu%20desktop.png
[15:27] <RaTTuS|BIG> the virt colum is swap IIRC
[15:27] <auronandace> Krenair: looks like you changed the theme
[15:27] <Krenair> How can I set it back to default? :/
[15:27] <delac> Abhijit: thanks for the tip, but that place is dead
[15:27]  * RaTTuS|BIG goes for coffee
[15:27] <pakete> can anybody help with enabling sound???
[15:28] <Abhijit> O.o

[15:28] <h00k> ubottu: sound | pakete
[15:28] <delac> Arbition: no one there ever answers anything
[15:28] <Abhijit> delac, get rid of that open office. use libreoffice.
[15:28] <Arbition> delac: sorry?
[15:28] <auronandace> !theme | Krenair
[15:29] <delac> Arbition: sory, wrong person
[15:29] <Arbition> np
[15:29] <Krenair> auronandace, thanks
[15:29] <Abhijit> delac, everyone got rid of openoffice. you also do the same. get libreoffice.
[15:29] <delac> Abhijit: as soon as I upgrade my Ubuntu
[15:30] <pakete> the sound is muted, even though it is turned on to the max volume
[15:30] <ripthejacker> which is the package for jdk?
[15:30] <Abhijit> delac, hmm ok
[15:30] <ripthejacker> i can find any plzzz help
[15:30] <Abhijit> !java | ripthejacker
[15:30] <Arbition> ripthejacker: I'm not sure. Maybe icedtea?
[15:31] <Arbition> oh wait, I read that wrong
[15:31] <Arbition> I read that as openjdk
[15:31] <RaTTuS|BIG> pakete - clicks the sound icon and click unmute
[15:32] <pakete> still no sound
[15:32] <Arbition> pakete: look around in alsamixer
[15:32] <Arbition> from the terminal
[15:32] <Arbition> you'll probably need to change cards to not pulseaudio or something
[15:32] <pakete> how to look?
[15:32] <Solved> Ok. So a place on the forums told me that I could try out Ubuntu netbook edition through sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook. I did this, and due to freezing, I had to try and revert back using sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-netbook & autoremove. However, some of the old stuff is still hanging around. How do I completely get rid of the netbook edition?
[15:33] <Arbition> I mean, execute 'alsamixer' in a terminal
[15:33] <Arbition> Troll answer: nuke and reinstall
[15:33] <ikonia> Arbition: please stop giving troll answers
[15:33] <ikonia> Arbition: you did it with "use gentoo" and I let is slide
[15:34] <Arbition> at least I marked it as such. I note that I have been helpful in other ways
[15:34] <Solved> Any ideas?
[15:34] <Arbition> is there a package installation log?
[15:34] <pakete> ok i executed alsamixer... how to solve the problem out from there??
[15:34] <Pici> Arbition: /var/log/dpkg.log and the contents of /var/log/apt/
[15:34] <ikonia> Arbition: please do not give "Toll Answers" do you understand
[15:35] <Gamblor> Alright, so I've managed to get to "try without installing ubuntu" on my Macbook but I get the error "unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
[15:35] <RaTTuS|BIG> ^ it was a good answer
[15:35] <Arbition> meh, it is getting late anyway. If you are going to hardline, I don't need to help
[15:35] <ikonia> ok
[15:35] <nuclearworm> hello, how do i limit firefox download speed? it is not to make downloads
[15:36] <pakete> how to enable sound which supposed to be but muted all the time even though i unmuted in volume control and set volume to maximal...!!! please help...No sound at all!

[15:40] <compdoc> helo, you want to set it to select the older kernel at boot? I think the defualt is 0
[15:40] <D_Russ> h00k, i tried google followed several tuts and it starts then it just stops
[15:40] <compdoc> so use 1 or whatever
[15:40] <ikonia> pepito: just thinking
[15:40] <pepito> ikonia: do you think any hacky linux thing i could do to solve this?
[15:40] <ikonia> pepito: need to understand the issue first
[15:40] <pepito> ikonia: i ll ask other people to see if they  have a compaq
[15:40] <pepito> anyone there with a compaq laptop?

[15:43] <pepito> ikonia: currently cable
[15:43] <ikonia> pepito: ok, for testing, can we please keep with cable
[15:43] <urlin2u> helo, whenever I install virtualbox I use gdebi it shows dependencies needed, there is always one additional to dkms, I forget what it is, I suspect that is your problem.

[15:53] <gbirdz> where do I enable mod_rewrite for apache?
[15:53] <Solved> I wanted to see what ubuntu netbook edition was like, so I followed the instructions on the website, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook. The netbook edition was fine, but it kept freezing, so I had to try and switch back. I've managed to get rid of the majority of it, but theres still some things remaining. How do I completely switch back to ubuntu desktop?
[15:53] <RaTTuS|BIG> pepito - Ok ... wierd - could you change to the openDNS dns ... i.e. www.opendns.com - and see if that helps
[15:53] <SIFTU> pepito: dns or mtu size

[15:58] <Zagrada> and now I have a desktop issue
[15:58] <pepito> SIFTU: still slow
[15:58] <Kangarooo> Zagrada: #Ubuntu+1 about newest
[15:59] <SIFTU> pepito: could be a driver issue or anything.. would have to deep dive into that with wireshark etc
[16:00] <pepito> SIFTU: yeah thats what i thought, maybe it installed the wrong driver
[16:00] <pepito> SIFTU: i wouldnt know how to find the right one though
[16:00] <Abhijit> Kangarooo, you better contact this person Tom Chiverton. rather than asking here
[16:00] <Kangarooo> ok
[16:00] <SIFTU> pepito: lspci|grep net

[16:01] <sgo11> hi, I did multiple times of installing and uninstalling hplip. right now, my hplip is broken. whenever I run hp-systray or hp-setup etc.. it shows me "error: Unable to locate models.dat file". how to fix it? thank you very much.
[16:01] <ubuntu_> hi
[16:01] <doufnufem> hey guys, its me again. So I'm about to accutally resize my partitions. Is it a better idea to do it off a usb stick or a cd? or does it matter?
[16:01] <pepito> SIFTU:sec im going to switch to wireless to lie on the sofa
[16:02] <SIFTU> pepito: is it faster on wireless?
[16:02] <RaTTuS|BIG> doufnufem it will not matter - just make sure you have a good backup anyway
[16:02] <Abhijit> sgo11, i am no expert but you may try sudo apt-get remove --purge <packagename> and then reinstall it
[16:02] <Timmmm> Hi, for some reason shift-space no longer makes a space. I'm sure it used to before I upgraded to  10.10 -- is there a setting somewhere for this?
[16:02] <doufnufem> RaTTuS|BIG:  i gotta take the risk, i dont have enough media to back it all up -.-
[16:02] <sgo11> Abhijit, I did that multiple times already.. no luck.
[16:02] <dashavoo> Hey
[16:03] <SIFTU> doufnufem: well its your data, you have been warned
[16:03] <dashavoo> can somebody talk me through getting online using wpa_supplicant?
[16:03] <dashavoo> I can't use a wired connection, and I can't use GUI tools
[16:03] <ghoti> Howdy.  I've inherited a small server room of mostly ubuntu servers dating back a few years.  I'm fairly familiar with Debian, but ... how do I determine which release of ubuntu is installed on a particular box?
[16:03] <SIFTU> dashavoo: what about wicd
[16:04] <SIFTU> ghoti: lsb_release ?
[16:04] <dashavoo> SIFTU: if it was installed it would have been perfect, but I don't have a connection, which is the problem
[16:04] <RaTTuS|BIG> http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2768/ubuntu_what_version_am_i_running/
[16:04] <SIFTU> dashavoo: ah ok
[16:05] <pepito_> SIFTU: these are the right drivers
[16:05] <knapper_tech> how can i change my outgoing rsa public key?
[16:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> ss-keygen -t rsa
[16:05] <Abhijit> sgo11, no idea then
[16:05] <RaTTuS|BIG> ssh-keygen -t rsa*
[16:05] <SIFTU> knapper_tech: of ssh?? just regenate with ssh-keygen under that user
[16:05] <sgo11> Abhijit, no worries. thanks for the reply.
[16:05] <pepito_> SIFTU: what should i pay attention to on wireshark?
[16:06] <SIFTU> pepito_: its a bit of a black art.. but you can see the timings and see where the delays are
[16:06] <SIFTU> pepito_: is wireless as slow as wired?
[16:06] <pepito_> SIFTU: yeah
[16:07] <AndIrc___> anyone get wireless card 1892su to work with ubuntu.  I know the 1892sw card works ,but the updated the wife card drivers this summer
[16:07] <pepito_> SIFTU: wireless, wired, chromium, firefox, ipv6 on or off, DNS or direct IP access, none seem to matter
[16:07] <SIFTU> pepito_: then its pretty slim that ubuntu has anything to do with it.. as you would be using 2 different drivers
[16:07] <RaTTuS|BIG> wife* card ;-p
[16:08] <pepito_> SIFTU: could be something else, the protocol stack would be the same for both wouldnt it?
[16:08] <pakete> hey all... i have no sound, but i can turn volume wheel up and down though there is no hardware found in 'sound properties' How to find driver for sound card? please help!
[16:08] <sgo11> anyone know how to solve this error message "error: Unable to locate models.dat file" for hplip?
[16:08] <Abhijit> !sound | pakete
[16:09] <SIFTU> pepito_: do a wireshark and surf to a page to gets delayed and save the output
[16:10] <pepito_> SIFTU: alright
[16:11] <jrgp> I have a latitude e6500 and ubuntu natty support is largely fantastic. Suspend works great, however resuming from hibernate does not. It simply boots as if it wasn't hibernated. Does anyone have suggestions as to where I should start diagnosing the problem?
[16:12] <ghoti> SIFTU: Thanks, that's perfect.
[16:17] <cypha> how can I get my ubuntu version?
[16:17] <SIFTU> cypha: lsb_release
[16:18] <cypha> SIFTU, didn't work
[16:18] <cypha> no lsb modules are available
[16:18] <urlin2u> cypha, lsb_release -a
[16:18] <SIFTU> cypha: or -d
[16:18] <RaTTuS|BIG> or even --help < very useful for any command
[16:19] <RaTTuS|BIG> [or most]
[16:19] <SIFTU> RaTTuS|BIG: man is good too :)
[16:19] <alyosha> hi, i have conected laptop and tv via HDMI. At first i just plug in the cable and picture shows on tv but now when i plug in it happens nothing
[16:19] <cypha> thanks urlin2u that worked
[16:19] <cypha> AND SIFTU
[16:19] <alyosha> where could i set this to work
[16:20] <RaTTuS|BIG> alyosha - type at the keyboard to wake the laptop up?
[16:20] <alyosha> RaTTuS|BIG  laptop is working fine
[16:20] <alyosha> there is no picture on tv
[16:21] <zeloran> Short question: Is there a way to output sound using a device in Ubuntu 11.04 (with Pulse)? (like /dev/audio?)
[16:21] <SIFTU> alyosha: depends on your graphics driver, what are you using
[16:21] <SIFTU> zeloran: aplay -l
[16:21] <RaTTuS|BIG> make sure TV is looking at the right imput
[16:21] <alyosha> ha :) some ATI
[16:21] <vyas> alyosha : try to check for AV modes on TV. . .i have 3 AV modes and 3 HDMI modes. . .try all.
[16:21] <SIFTU> alyosha: with OSS drivers or the ATI ones?
[16:22] <alyosha> it's  not problem with tv or cable...it workd fine for sometime...it's like laptop don't autoamticly switch to tv or something
[16:22] <RaTTuS|BIG> zeloran short answer yes, longer answer yes and now depends on what your doing
[16:22] <alyosha> i use ATI drivers
[16:23] <SIFTU> alyosha: did you launch the ati control panel and look in there?
[16:23] <RaTTuS|BIG> ooh time for pub
[16:23] <sgo11> anyone know how to solve this error message "error: Unable to locate models.dat file" for hplip?
[16:23] <alyosha> SIFTU i was looking there yes..but i didn't see anythig useful. There was this "sectioN" detect monitor but it didn't detect nothing
[16:23] <RaTTuS|BIG> sgo11 - see google
[16:23] <zeloran> trying to pipe the output of a c-program using putchar to an audio device @RaTTuS|BIG
[16:23] <sgo11> RaTTuS|BIG, I did google for six hours already.
[16:24] <OerHeks> sgo11, give us more info, what program needs models.dat ?
[16:24] <sgo11> OerHeks, as I mentioned above. it's hplip.
[16:25] <sgo11> OerHeks, I did install/uninstall hplip, hplip-cups, hplip-data multiple times. now, hplip hp driver totally broken with that error message.
[16:25] <oCean> RaTTuS|BIG: don't just suggest google like that
[16:25] <sgo11> OerHeks, I tried install, reinstall, --purge remove, many things. none of them work.
[16:26] <sgo11> What I did before seeing this error msg, is sudo rm -rf /etc/share/hplip/. because I want a clean install of hplip.
[16:27] <cjs226> anyone using reiserfs4?  i ask as I'm looking for a filesystem that allows for filenames longer than 512bytes/characters

[16:33] <eitch> hi guys, how does mounting iso images in nautilus work? I would like to do the same from the cli without needing root...
[16:34] <edbian> eitch: You can mount something without being root by adding an entry for that thing in /etc/fstab
[16:34] <edbian> eitch: this is not how nautilus does it.  I don't know how nautilus does it,
[16:34] <SIFTU> eitch: then you would need to do it through a fuse filesystem, nautilus probably uses gnome vfs
[16:34] <eitch> edbian, thanks.
[16:35] <edbian> eitch: sure
[16:35] <eitch> SIFTU, thanks.
[16:35] <SIFTU> eitch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseIso

[16:37] <cypha> anyone familiar with gpointing-device-settings?
[16:37] <SIFTU> sgo11: you used "apt-get -f install ...."
[16:37] <sgo11> SIFTU, I didn't use that -f option. should I try that?
[16:38] <SIFTU> sgo11: yes, give it a go
[16:38] <cypha> anyone familiar with gpointing-device-settings? do I need to restart for changes to take effect? and will it work in windows already open?
[16:38] <sgo11> SIFTU, it doesn't do anything. it says they are in newest version. should I apt-get remove them first?
[16:39] <SIFTU> sgo11: hmm I dont have an ubuntu machine to test on.. hang on
[16:40] <Ellipsis753> Is there like a database of applets for the gnome panels somewhere?

[16:42] <SIFTU> sgo11: "apt-get install --reinstall ..." ?
[16:43] <Lee_Prison> when i use "cat " to get a chinese character ,but i find that it's not right ?
[16:43] <Lee_Prison> such as : cat   file.html
[16:43] <sgo11> SIFTU, I tried that, it does not work. anyway, please ignore this problem now. I bypass it. I download models.dat manually from internet and sudo cp it to that location... so far, the problem is solved. but a new problem occurred which is my original problem. that was why I did remove hplip in the beginning.
[16:45] <sgo11> when I trying to add the printer and install the plugin with hp-setup wizard, i see this error "ERROR: Plug-in file does not match its digital signature. ". people in google suggests reinstall hplip. I did that. doesn't work.

[17:01] <pkkm> rhizmoe, I'm sure my microphone works because I can record sound with it (just tested).
[17:01] <glebihan> sgo11, why don't you install it from the repositories ?
[17:02] <sgo11> glebihan, the repo does not provide hplip plugins
[17:02] <sgo11> glebihan, hp-setup command supposed to install plugins automatically. but right now, it fails. maybe it's because the official website is down.
[17:03] <induz_> novacut is an editing application
[17:03] <sgo11> anyone know how to upgrade hplip the newest one hplip 3.11.7? I can only find hplip 3.11.7 plugins tar in google.

[17:17] <mehdi_> any sega emulator sujestion?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> mehdi_: check on playonlinux site
[17:18] <seanb> Is there somebody here who can answer a question for me? I'm thinking about moving to linux/ubuntu, but have one nagging issue. I do use a LOT of windows based programs, some of which do not have linux counterparts. Videos i've seen show linux using windows programs and games, but do not say how. Is it still just as easy as double clicking an EXE? Or is like in a mac environment, where i'm going to need to run an emulation suite?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> mehdi_: you will need to install the deb on the site to add the ppa
[17:19] <Corey> seanb: The latter, if not a full virtualization stack.  What sorts of programs are you referring to?
[17:19] <Corey> seanb: Making the switch to Mac was tricky for me, but rather than "porting specific programs over" I found substitutes that worked in that environment.  Ubuntu is the same way.
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> Seanb: you may find opensource equivalents
[17:20] <Mikey^> seanb: Wine is the program to use to run windows software. If you need a more easy to use, you can try and later buy crossover office, www.codeweavers.com
[17:20] <zykotick9> mehdi_, i'd highly recommend getting gens-gs
[17:20] <manny> Monny
[17:20] <seanb> And wine works well?

[17:20] <mehdi_> im goin too compile gen
[17:21] <Guest23882> #software
[17:21] <Mikey^> seanb: Yes, you check their webpage for compatible software, winehq.org
[17:21] <zykotick9> seanb, using wine is certainly not ideal, try find gnu/linux equivalents
[17:21] <Guest23882> Hello I need help installing software using a makefile
[17:21] <Guest23882> what command s do I do
[17:21] <zykotick9> mehdi_, gensgs is better then gens
[17:22] <seanb> Mikey^ Thanks zykotick9 i'm finding that a lot of the apps i use do have linux equivs, i guess it's the games i'm most worried about.

[17:22] <ActionParsnip> Seanb: wine works great with so
[17:22] <zykotick9> !appdb | seanb
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> Some apps
[17:23] <Mikey^> seanb: codeweavers also has a gaming vesion called cxgames
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> Poorly with others. If you can give software names we can give more exact support
[17:23] <macer1> Hi
[17:23] <Mikey^> seanb: But I guess you can always dual boot :)
[17:23] <macer1> Can Ubuntu 12.04 be DVD release by default?
[17:24]  * macer1 hate ugly compressed wallpapers :<
[17:24] <ghoti> macer1: do you prefer ugly uncompressed wallpapers?
[17:24] <mehdi_> zykotick9:  actually is gens-gs im about too compile
[17:24] <OerHeks> macer1, why ? do you want to exclude users with an cdromdrive ?
[17:24] <seanb> ActionParsnip thanks, but i do wanna waste your time with something i can search in the wine DB
[17:24] <seanb> do = dont
[17:24] <macer1> OerHeks, there is USB
[17:24] <cody--> .
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> Seanb: good game devs make Linux installers (doom3 is a great example) or fully code for both like penumbra and urbanterror
[17:25] <macer1> My last computer without DVD rom was Pentium 3
[17:25] <techieee> .getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() java function on ubuntu does not return gtk look and feel. is it a bug?
[17:25] <Klojum> Some ppl dont have fast internet access, so DVDs are preferable
[17:25] <mehdi_> zykotick9: Damn 64-bit its not supported
[17:25] <qwer> How to create a delayed autostart of an app?? it should start after compiz runs ........ ??
[17:25] <macer1> Is windows on DVD? Yes. Who cares? Nobody.
[17:26] <macer1> The number one thing I hate about ubuntu is that they must keep to 700MB so they are keeping removing random things...
[17:26] <zykotick9> seanb, if gaming is a significant interest of yours, dual boot
[17:26] <Walex> macer1: I do, because I buy "white" systems and then install GNu/Linux and/or MS-Windows on them, and having the installer on DVD helps a lot
[17:26] <OerHeks> macer1 wrong answer, not all pc's can boot usb.
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: there was a debate on that on omgubuntu
[17:26] <macer1> OerHeks, well, maybe computers made before 2000 cant ;)
[17:27] <macer1> Walex, dont understand you. that computers you buy does not have DVD or what?
[17:27] <macer1> Nobody cries that they can't install windows7 on old pentium 3 pc with cd-rom
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> There is a boot floppy image on pendrivelinux to then boot usb
[17:27] <techieee> hello ubuntu ops anyone knows why getsystemlookandfeelclassname on java doesnt return GTK look and feel in ubuntu 11.04?
[17:27] <Barridus> macer1, false.  i cried.
[17:27] <seanb> ALright, thanks for the help guys!
[17:28] <macer1> also some icons are very bad quality
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> macer1: it can be, check YouTube. Runs well
[17:28] <macer1> ActionParsnip, yes, it was installed by usb
[17:28] <macer1> I think because of 700Mb limit icons are very bad quality in ubuntu :<
[17:29] <zykotick9> macer1, are you aware the ubuntu does also come on a DVD?  It basically is the same as the CD with other languages though.
[17:29] <OerHeks> 700 mb limit icons, are you drunk ?
[17:29] <macer1> zykotick9, yes i know
[17:29] <macer1> OerHeks, I mean, limit for cd.
[17:30] <macer1> because of 700mb limit, icons are very bad...
[17:30] <macer1> zykotick9, but wallpapers and icons are still ugly and compressed
[17:30] <macer1> people without cd rom/usb booting will boot minimal cd
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> macer1: the package for the icons is updated by the repos so even IF they were lower quality they would be updated to something better by updates
[17:30] <zykotick9> macer1, so?  if that's a big issue for you... i don't even have a suggestion for that "problem".  Good luck.
[17:31] <cybercaffe> hi all
[17:31] <Klojum> hi caffe
[17:31] <macer1> Do you like when you see that your icon is upscaled?
[17:31] <phschwartz> I all, I have recently moved from 10.04 to 11.04. I have switched back to Gnome from Unity, but a feature of Unity is still in place that I would like to disable. The feature is the change to scroll bars. How can I get the standard scroll bars back as the Unity style does not work correctly in a few apps I use, eclipse included.
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> Macer: however this is not the case. The icons are fine, you are probably using a hideous dpi or resolution
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> Macer: the icons are scalable.
[17:32] <macer1> Not all icons, ActionParsnip
[17:32] <macer1> I was looking at /usr/share/icons
[17:32] <macer1> only a few
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> phschwartz: there are guides for that, have you researched any at all?
[17:33] <macer1> ActionParsnip, hey, this is interesting! Do you suggest that wallpapers can be released in better quality as updates? That will be great idea if ubuntu does not want to switch to dvd -_-
[17:33] <bazhang> !brainstorm | macer1
[17:33] <phschwartz> ActionParsnip: I have tried googling for it. After that I followed a guide to remove overlay-scrollbar with no success.
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> Macer: there is even a folder full of icons 'named' scalable
[17:34] <macer1> I know what is braintstorm
[17:34] <bazhang> macer1, getting a bit offtopic here
[17:34] <macer1> ActionParsnip, yes, so all packages on default in ubuntu should have be scalable
[17:35] <macer1> all icons in OSX Lion are 512x512...
[17:35] <macer1> so I know that they are not upscaled
[17:35] <macer1> on default in ubuntu, i mean on .iso, like firefox, thunderbird, empathy etc
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> Macer: its the same package even if you use the minimal install method which installs using the official repos and not a "restrictive" 700mb cd. The result will be identical
[17:36] <amdx2> hi to all
[17:37] <OerHeks> hi amdx2
[17:37] <macer1> How it should be: DVD iso for people with normal computers that can boot from DVD/pendrive, and minimal CD with text installs for people with old/crappy computers that cant boot usb/dvd
[17:38] <macer1> and from minimal cd
[17:38] <macer1> they can install ubuntu-desktop package
[17:38] <macer1> brb
[17:38] <bazhang> macer1, post it on brainstorm then, this is getting offtopic
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Macer: think about all the icons on a livecd. Taking up all that space just for icons is a stup idea. Users may just want to test the OS so will want APPs not slightly better icons. Think about it
[17:39] <Klojum> i thought most icons were in scalable SVG format in 11.04+ .. so resizing would not give problems as bitmap icons would
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> macer1: yes installing the meta package will install the SAME icons as on the cd as on the repos..
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> phschwartz: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-disable-overlay-scrollbars-in.html
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> phschwartz: that worked here
[17:40] <phschwartz> ActionParsnip: awsome, ty
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> phschwartz: not seen that page?
[17:41] <phschwartz> ActionParsnip: No, I kept finding a link to that site but talking about removing the overlay's deb.
[17:41] <macer1> ActionParsnip, so make icons and wallpapers normal qualirt as ubuntu will be dvd
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> phschwartz: all i did was use duckduckgo and search for. ubuntu turn off overlay scrollbars
[17:41] <Chris3> I am having some trouble getting my printer to print from Ubuntu. I think it is a fairly easy problem, but i need some assitance from someone with a little more linux/unix knowledge than me.
[17:41] <macer1> bazhang, off what topic?
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Macer: both are available, the icons on the dvd ard the same as the cd
[17:42] <bazhang> Chris3, what does linuxprinting.org say about it
[17:42] <oCean> macer1: this channel is for tech ubuntu support only. Use Brainstorm if you feel like suggesting/discussing features etc
[17:43] <Chris3> bazhang: not sure.  I will go check that site out.  Thanks.
[17:43] <Klojum> which printer, Chris3 ?
[17:43] <macer1> ActionParsnip,  I KNOW SO MAYBE CHANGE THAT? -_- (sorry for caps)
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Macer: never had an issue with icons. I suggest you report a bug. I suspect it will be rejected
[17:43] <Chris3> klojum: It's an HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP
[17:44] <Klojum> and what is the problem?
[17:44] <bon010> how to setup wifi connection on ubuntu
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Chris3: check the hplip page to check your printer is supported by the project

[17:46] <bon010> how do you start netwroking on ubuntu
[17:46] <ikonia> bon010: it starts by default unless you've disabled
[17:47] <bon010> i am on wirless connection
[17:47] <bon010> how to start wirless
[17:47] <ikonia> bon010: doesn't change what I said
[17:47] <Klojum> bon010: same as on other OSes... Your router needs to be set up first.
[17:47] <ikonia> bon010: it starts by default, unless you've disabled
[17:47] <Geroz> cau lidi
[17:48] <Chris3> ActionParsnip: I believe it is.  I downloaded the driver and it seems to be loaded and the default printer
[17:48] <Chris3> ActionParsnip: I think it might have something to do with the Print Server.
[17:49] <Klojum> Chris3: connect it directly onto the Ubuntu machine, just to see if it responds and works properly
[17:50] <Klojum> what sort of printserver do you have?
[17:50] <Chris3> ActionParsnip: Do you mean with a USB cable?
[17:50] <hellomike> Hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on a netbook from a usb and i keep getting Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error. Can anyone assist? I would really like to use Ubuntu as my new operating system. Thank you
[17:52] <Klojum> hellomike: you can also try the newest 11.10 beta 2 of Ubuntu... Perhaps that has a better installation section. Also do not install from the Live environment, but directly from bootup.

[17:54] <usr13> hellomike: What was Klojum's issue?

[18:12] <tensorpudding> qwer, are you sure?
[18:13] <usr13> pakete: And as zykotick9 points out, if you don't know the exact make and model, lspci will tell you.

[18:14] <shubham_rathi> bazhang but what is play on linux?
[18:14] <pakete> it used to be realtek under windows
[18:14] <usr13> pakete: Look at the output of   lspci -vnvn | grep -i audio
[18:15] <shubham_rathi> which is better play on linux or wine?

[18:15] <MuH4hA> hi guys! I want to backup my home-directory using rsync, but exclude one folder (plus subfolders/files), cause they are music/movies and too big. How would I do this? Would $rsync -va --delete --exclude=/path/to/subfolder /home/user /path/to/backup work?
[18:15] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: neither
[18:15] <bazhang> shubham_rathi, check the appdb
[18:15] <zykotick9> shubham_rathi, if gaming is your interest - dual boot with windows
[18:15] <bazhang> shubham_rathi, then /join #winehq
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> pakete: can you run the command please, it will tell us a lot about your sound
[18:15] <usr13> pakete:   lspci | grep -i audio
[18:15] <snake_> OK
[18:16] <shubham_rathi> ikonia am fed up of windows plus i dont want dual boot!!!
[18:16] <pakete> ok... usr13, here is what it is: 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 03)
[18:16] <tasslehoff> I have downloaded a lubuntu iso and need to make a bootable usbstick. Do I just dd the iso to /dev/rdisk1 (OS X)?
[18:16] <shubham_rathi> ikonia sometimes it give headche!!!
[18:16] <shubham_rathi> :P
[18:16] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: then expect not to play the games you want
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> pakete: the driver is in your i
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Insta
[18:16] <bazhang> shubham_rathi, then check the appdb, this is not the channel for specific windows apps
[18:16]  * ActionParsnip can't type
[18:16] <tasslehoff> ubuntu.com has instructions that tells me to convert to img, but is that only if I want to boot it from a Mac?
[18:16] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: if you can't get games to work in the Operating system that they are nativly made for......you will have much more issues trying to get them to run in an abstraction layer that isn't meant for that OS
[18:17] <pakete> what?
[18:17] <snake_> i'm readying it nog thanks for all the advise
[18:17] <zykotick9> tasslehoff, dding to the USB won't work
[18:17] <usr13> snake_: So when you turned up the volume levels in   alsamixer,   were you able to hear the results?
[18:17] <pakete> driver is where???
[18:17] <hellomike> So after the installer crashes, it ask me to choose another device to install grub on. This time i choose not to install the boot looader but it still freezes
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> Pakete: also run:  alsamixer   and endure all levels are cranked a
[18:17] <benoliver999> Might be a stupid question, but does the startup disk creator also work for other distros?
[18:17] <zykotick9> tasslehoff, plus i'm not sure MAC will boot usb ubuntu?  maybe?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> And unmuted
[18:18] <pakete> ActionParsnip , i dont understand
[18:18] <pakete> cranked???
[18:18] <snake_> one moment
[18:18] <tasslehoff> zykotick9: I want to boot it from an Asus EEE, but I need to use a Mac to create it
[18:18] <shubham_rathi> ok, But please can anybody guide me from start i want to play cs 1.6 on linux
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> benoliver999: unetbootin works for many, i know that much
[18:18] <shubham_rathi> what is first step
[18:18] <zykotick9> tasslehoff, ahhh - sorry i don't use Mac, good luck.
[18:18] <usr13> pakete: What does it say in the upper left corner of  the   alsamixer  screen?

[18:18] <benoliver999> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[18:18] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: follow bazhang's advice
[18:18] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: neither
[18:18] <pakete> maybe there is a problem with sound card?? cause all is unmuted
[18:18] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: check what has a chance of working as bazhang has suggested
[18:19] <bazhang> shubham_rathi, step one: check appdb
[18:19] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: but you need to accept that if you can't run a windows game on windows.......you won't be using it on Linux with wine/playonlinux
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> shubham_rathi: the appdb has a how to. That's why we gave the link
[18:19] <shubham_rathi> ok but what is appdb?
[18:19] <zykotick9> !appdb | shubham_rathi
[18:19] <snake_> I'm away: reading tips for vmware one moment
[18:19] <bazhang> shubham_rathi, step two: -----------> /join #winehq
[18:19] <usr13> pakete: If the channels are muted, navagate to them and  hit   m    as needed to toggle on/off mute
[18:19] <shubham_rathi> !appdb
[18:19] <pakete> channels are unmuted
[18:20] <zykotick9> shubham_rathi, http://appdb.winehq.org
[18:20] <usr13> pakete: Unmute them
[18:20] <shubham_rathi> i have joined winehq but none is there to answer
[18:20] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org   <------- shubham_rathi check that website
[18:20] <bazhang> shubham_rathi, then be patient.
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: can you do me a favour and paste the wget alsa-info.sh command to pakete
[18:20] <usr13> pakete: And turn volume levels up as needed.  (PCM too)
[18:21] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, i could if i knew what you meant?  sorry i don't get it.
[18:21] <shubham_rathi> also one more thing
[18:21] <shubham_rathi> my ir mutimedia remote control not working
[18:21] <shubham_rathi> how to get it working?
[18:21] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: is it infrared ?
[18:21] <shubham_rathi> yes
[18:21] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, i'm affraid i've never used the alsa-info.sh before
[18:21] <pakete> there is nothing visible under "hardware" tab in sound preferences.... I unmuted everything, but there is no sound
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: its.on the sound troubleshooting page. I can't copy and paste easily here
[18:21] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: is your infrared recieved supported in Linux ?
[18:22] <pakete> maybe sound card crashed?
[18:22] <shubham_rathi> how will i know it is supported or not
[18:22] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: is your infrared reciever supported in Linux

[18:22] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: is your infrared reciever supported in Linux
[18:22] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: then that's what you need to research
[18:23] <usr13> pakete: I don't know, didn't you say it was Intel ?
[18:23] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, i don't see alsa-info.sh mentioned on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting wrong page?
[18:23] <pakete> yes
[18:23] <pakete> i chose it via F6
[18:23] <shubham_rathi> ohho ok let me search it!!!
[18:23] <pakete> still no sound
[18:23] <shubham_rathi> :D ikonia
[18:24] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, found it
[18:24] <usr13> pakete: Should probably say something like    Intel ICH8    or something similar

[18:24] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: cheers man :)
[18:25] <pakete> It says HDA Intel

[18:41] <Corey> neurochrome: You're in luck then.  /join #postfix
[18:41] <neurochrome> Corey, account settings are as they should be in evolution
[18:41] <neurochrome> its the underlying system that is hosed
[18:41] <Corey> neurochrome: Well, what's the SMTP server set to?  Most clients talk to a remote server and don't care what you're running locally.

[18:41] <neurochrome> Corey, how'd I check?

[18:48] <Clusterfunk> After installing fgrlx AMD/ATI drivers, Unity has been disabled. How can I re-enable it?

[18:48] <snake_> gotta sleep thanks so far!!
[18:48] <Sidewinder1> plustax, Actually, I don't have a lot of time for a "step-by-step" as it is rather involved; sorry, and I agree, manually partitioning can be a little intimidating.
[18:49] <plustax> ikonia how do I do that? go into gparted on live cd?
[18:49] <ikonia> plustax: that's a good approach
[18:49] <plustax> okay im there right now
[18:49] <Atamisk> Are there currently any 'for purchase' apps in the software-center? i've never seen any. is there a separate repository?

[18:49] <bazhang> Atamisk, yes there are some
[18:50] <usr13> pakete: Yes?
[18:50] <Atamisk> bazhang: hmm, are they in the main repos? because that area is always empty in my SC
[18:50] <pakete> so what did it say to you in that link?
[18:50] <plustax> ikonia alright I have the drive that I want to partition. its a 237 gig drive and I want to give 50 of that to ubuntu
[18:50] <ikonia> plustax: so do it
[18:50] <usr13> bon010: Is it a laptop?
[18:51] <pakete> i mean, sound doesn't work anyway, any ideas why?
[18:51] <bazhang> Atamisk, partner repo possibly. not checked of late
[18:51] <plustax> ikonia: I dont know how. change free soace preceding or following?
[18:51] <bon010> usr no iam on desktop
[18:51] <usr13> pakete: Do you have any browser's running?
[18:51] <plustax> ikonia: and align to what? Im so confused.
[18:51] <pakete> yes
[18:51] <pakete> why?
[18:51] <ikonia> plustax: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm
[18:51] <usr13> stop them
[18:51] <Atamisk> bazhang: i'll check it out. many thanks! i was just curious as to why SC had this vestigial section. i guess it actually serves a purpose!
[18:51] <pakete> oh ok
[18:52] <pakete> ok i did
[18:52] <usr13> pakete: pkill firefox  #And what ever other browsers you have running.

[18:53] <pakete> ok http://paste.ubuntu.com/699996/
[18:53] <ikonia> bon010: please stop repeating that every few minutes. This is the last time I'll ask
[18:53] <usr13> pakete: Or just run   lsof |grep snd   and see if anything is using snd
[18:54] <plustax> ikonia this isnt working. Can you please walk me through it. I think my setup is very different
[18:54] <plustax> I cant seem to resize my drive and it has a ! in red next to it
[18:54] <ikonia> plustax: that normally means there is not enough free space to actually resize
[18:55] <ikonia> plustax: but based on your comments earlier, that is doubtful
[18:55] <plustax> there is a ton of free space there
[18:55] <pakete> ok
[18:55] <plustax> I didnt fill it I KNOW I didnt
[18:55] <pakete> i dont know if anything is using it, seems to me nothing is

[18:56] <ikonia> plustax: this is just a normal disk ?
[18:56] <plustax> I guess so ikonia
[18:56] <ikonia> plustax: how many partitions does it currently have
[18:57] <usr13> pakete: It will tell you to install sox, do it and run play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*  again.
[18:57] <plustax> looks like 3 ikonia . sda1 which is 100mb system reserved, sda2 which now has a key next to it has 232 gigs then 1.18 unallocated.
[18:57] <shawn_> whats the cmd to find what version of kernel ur using
[18:58] <Sidewinder1> ikonia, Just a suggestion from the peanut gallery, you may want to suggest a defrag, from within win, prior to any resizing. Please accept with the spirit in which it was given. :-)
[18:58] <ikonia> Sidewinder1: it's valid advice,
[18:58] <rhizmoe> shawn_: uname -r
[18:58] <ikonia> plustax: worth degragging ?
[18:59] <plustax> ikonia: nah
[18:59] <ikonia> plustax: why do you say that ?
[18:59] <shawn_> why is it that on 11.04 it seems slower?.. but im using 10.04 ubuntu and it seems way faster
[18:59] <Sidewinder1> Nah, caution to the wind!
[18:59] <rhizmoe> shawn_: define "it"
[18:59] <plustax> im just gonna wipe it and install ubuntu completely, I think. It seems like Im not going to be able to get step by step support here.
[18:59] <jcpham> unity on 11.04 i've heard is more resource intensive
[18:59] <ikonia> plustax: ok
[18:59] <shawn_> yeh but my load average is like all in the 1's
[19:00] <shawn_> i think its anvidia driver bug or a firefox (flash) bug
[19:00] <pakete> usr13, i played it but there was no sound heard
[19:00] <plustax> thanks for your help ikonia I am just too new at this, and have no idea what youre talking about
[19:00] <usr13> shawn_: Are you fully updated?  (What version of Firefox?)
[19:00] <shawn_> rhizmoe,  it just seems the boot timing is way faster... an opening up windows etc is way faster
[19:00] <ikonia> plustax: understood
[19:01] <Sidewinder1> plustax, If I had the time, right now, I'd be more than happy to walk you through it; there are others, here than have the ability to do the same. You just have to be a little patient. :-)
[19:01] <usr13> pakete: Then you need to turn your speakers up, or plug into another port.

[19:02] <pakete> nope... it is laptop
[19:02] <shawn_> i downloaded fire fox 7.0.1

[19:02] <plustax> Sidewinder1: i understand, but i spent two hours in here last night trying to do this same exact thing and people just kept on pasting me links. I tried to follow the link instructions but my situation looked nothing like in the links and I think i damaged my system further to the point where I dont know whats going on anymore. All thanks to people blindly linking me when they dont know the true nature of the problem.
[19:02] <usr13> pakete: When you run alsamixer, did you see M   or   MM  at the bottom of any of the channel's volume indicators?
[19:03] <usr13> pakete: Run it again, and see.
[19:03] <pepito> hi
[19:03] <pepito> im having DNS issues
[19:04] <pepito> it works fine on windows but not on linux, i tried two different PCs and two different distros
[19:04] <plustax> Sidewinder1: if I wanted links, I would consult google. Im perfectly able and competant to do that. But I required support, so I came here. Come to find out its nothing but live action google in here. Heh.
[19:04] <pepito> i tried disabling ipv6, can anyone please tell me what might be going on
[19:04] <pakete> i dont see any m or mm
[19:04] <usr13> pakete: If you do see M   or   MM   at the bottom of one or more of them, navigate to it, (with Right or Left Arrows), and hit letter "m" on the keyboard, (to toggle on/off mute).
[19:04] <pakete> usr13
[19:04] <pakete> i dont see
[19:05] <pakete> and cannot navigate either

[19:05] <leeping> Hi there - I want to identify what startup services I have.  I know that when I type "service --status-all", it lists the services.  I also know that the scripts are in /etc/init.d.  However, I don't know what arguments the scripts are being called with
[19:05] <usr13> pakete: The right or left arrows do not move you from one channel to another?
[19:05] <spleen> Je rencontre quelques problemes lors de l'installation
[19:05] <Sidewinder1> plustax, I completely understand your frustration, however, you need to be cognizant of the fact that ALL systems are different, ie; we don't all have a clone of your hardware and certainly not of your desires; please stand by for a moment......

[19:15] <ikonia> not really
[19:15] <usr13> pepito: run nmap against them to see if port 53 is open
[19:15] <zykotick9> pepito, oh maybe they're blocking pings then
[19:15] <ikonia> nmap ????
[19:15] <ikonia> not all DNS servers will respond to ping
[19:15] <ikonia> infact, they shouldn't respond to ping
[19:15] <ikonia> what

[19:26] <leeping> How do I remotely connect and disconnect from networks?
[19:27] <varikonniemi> remote desktop?
[19:27] <leeping> varikonniemi, I'd like to connect from the command line if at all possible
[19:28] <Chris3> bazhang: I am installing release, but now it is prompting me through a mail server configuration.  Is it really this much work to find out what version I am running?
[19:28] <varikonniemi> leeping, then i cannot help
[19:28] <Cojo1> Hello. I was wondering if there is any way to use the Windows drivers for a video card in ubuntu? The video card drivers for my card from AMD cause the video card to freeze up (same problem on Windows). So, can you install windows drivers on linux with some alteration? or something?
[19:28] <varikonniemi> Cojo1, no you cannot
[19:29] <ChogyDan> Cojo1: if same problem with windows, why do you want to use that driver?
[19:29] <varikonniemi> the problem is probably in your hardware
[19:29] <varikonniemi> if it freezes on both platforms
[19:30] <Cojo1> @responders no, it's not. It's a known problem with the drivers from AMD and it's on the ASUS website. The ASUS drivers work perfectly in windows, the AMD ones cause the same freeze ups im getting in inux
[19:30] <fajran> :q
[19:31] <ChogyDan> Cojo1: link?
[19:31] <Cojo1> 57.250.118) has left #ubuntu ("Leaving")
[19:31] <Cojo1> woopsies
[19:31] <Cojo1> Link: 57.250.118) has left #ubuntu ("Leaving")
[19:32] <ChogyDan> dupsies!
[19:32] <Cojo1> I don't know how to copy and paste a web address apparently, Let's see if this works: support.asus.com/search/kdetail.aspx?SLanguage=en&no=4a5ae8e2-f82c-944c-c3e2-817a69a68922&t=2
[19:33] <Cojo1> I get that same "Grey Screen of Death" in Linux (Although IDK what color is actually is since I am color blind :/ )
[19:33] <Flannel> Chris3: Shouldn't be.  No.  What does `cat /etc/lsb-release/ get you?
[19:34] <Rosario76> hi
[19:34] <Flannel> Chris3: er, sorry.  No trailing slash on that.  `cat /etc/lsb-release`
[19:35] <Chris3> Flannel: That gave me the info I needed.  Thanks...
[19:35] <ChogyDan> Cojo1: try this: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[19:35] <Chris3> Flannel: Now, how do I kill a GUI process that has hung?
[19:35] <Flannel> Chris3: lsb-release should be installed already though, so something is wonky if it's trying to install things for that.
[19:35] <Cojo1> @ChogyDan, thank you.
[19:37] <Cojo1> @ChogyDan I don't know what to do with this here website....
[19:37] <Chris3_> Flannel: Sorry, my IRC client crashed.  Did you happen to get my Q about a hung process?
[19:38] <ChogyDan> Cojo1: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates                and then update and upgrade however you would normally.  This should upgrade your ATI driver
[19:39] <techieee> hello why getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() in ubuntu returns metal instead of gtk?
[19:39] <Cojo1> @ChogyDan but I am pretty sure that I have the latest drivers. Can I somehow use the ASUS windows 64-bit drivers...?
[19:39] <Chris3_> test
[19:40] <Chris3_> How do you kill a hung GUI process?
[19:40] <techieee> there was a bug which appeared here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/133103 in older version. the same bug reappears in 10.10
[19:40] <techieee> and newer*

[19:41] <dmitry> hey
[19:41] <gbirdz> will ubuntu translate handwritten notes into text, or does it even support some old tablet pcs?
[19:43] <Trashi> hi guys. after reboot my xubuntu restores all applications. is it possible to disabled like in ubuntu (with gnome2)
[19:45] <techieee> Trashi: did you check save session on shutdown? this restores your session
[19:46] <Trashi> techieee: well... where do you mean? i just click on the shutdown symbol in my taskbar?!
[19:47] <techieee> can you elaborate your problem
[19:47] <PriceChild> Trashi: Isn't there a confirmatino window?
[19:47] <techieee> there is an option to save session are you selecting it?
[19:47] <Trashi> there is an confirmation window but it only sais "x seconds until shutdown"
[19:47] <Trashi> cant find an option for that
[19:48] <markkkz> Hi, recently updated LibreOffice from the official repo and know all Font Colors and Font Backgrounds are gone. Everything is white. Anyone experienced this? How to fix. I can't find anything on Google.
[19:48] <techieee> Trashi: what exactly is your problem? does your installed apps vanish?
[19:48] <techieee> Trashi on reboot?
[19:48] <Synthead> I am having some trouble, what should I do? http://codepad.org/nIXPoVnG
[19:48] <Trashi> techieee: No! they dont vanish! Thats the problem!
[19:49] <techieee> installed apps won't vanish unless you uninstall them
[19:49] <Error404NotFound> I have http://pastebin.com/KG6A8xJN in ~/.vnc/xstartup but when i connect to vnc its just a check pattern on the screen, no gnome or anything. I am using tightvncserver
[19:50] <Trashi> techieee: dont think we are speaking about the same thing. f.e. if i open a new textdocument with the editor and after that i reboot my pc, the same text document will restored after the system came up
[19:50] <ejer> Error404NotFound, startx should start gnome for you
[19:50] <techieee> Trashi: your session gets saved and gets restored on boot
[19:51] <Trashi> techieee: right! and i want to disable that!
[19:51] <Trashi> techieee: and dont know where to do this
[19:51] <Error404NotFound> ejer: thats doesn't work as well
[19:51] <techieee> Trashi: when you click on shutdown from the panel on xfce? a box pops up where it asks you to save session, uncheck it
[19:51] <Error404NotFound> ejer: if i put a 'touch /tmp/vncworking' at the end of that config, /tmp/vncworking is never touched
[19:53] <ejer> Error404NotFound, try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477909 maybe - but vncserver works out of the box so must be something that got changed... try wiping out xstartup and start over
[19:53] <Trashi> techieee: no! i only see a dialog "system goes down in x seconds" there is no checkbox or s.th. like that
[19:54] <markkkz> Hi, recently updated LibreOffice from the official Ubuntu repo and now* all Font Colors and Font Backgrounds are gone. Everything is white. Anyone experienced this? How to fix. I can't find anything on Google.
[19:54] <techieee> Trashi: try pressing log off. does it have the checkbox asking you to save session
[19:54] <Trashi> techieee: oh i got it ... if i use the shutdown button in the start menu he asks, but if i press username->shutdown from the panel, he doesnt ask
[19:55] <techieee> Trashi i see
[20:01] <illio> I'm having trouble with my Ubuntu install. When the machine starts up the desktop doesn't respond and I have to do "dbus-launch nautilus" to launch a file manager. Also Thunderbird has stopped displaying my mail boxes, even though the settings show they still exist (and I can send email through them).. Both errors happended at the exact same time, just after an update about 1 month ago.
[20:01] <lucas-arg> hello... im having problems with ubuntu 11.04 kernel 2.6.38-11-generic sometimes my laptop doesnt boot and caps lock light stays blincking.... any ideas wheres the bug?
[20:01] <h00k> LuisCosta: I'd start by running a memtest
[20:01] <illio> It seems basically my File manager stalls. Also observable by the fact that when I shutdown it says one app isn't responding - the file manager!
[20:02] <h00k> lucas-arg: ^ sorry, that was for you.
[20:02] <lucas-arg> h00k, memtest runs ok...
[20:02] <ejer> lucas-arg, is this when you suspend or hibernate? or from cold boot
[20:03] <lucas-arg> ejer, cold boot... some times happens and sometimes doesnt
[20:03] <ejer> illio, you could try resetting gnome settings, you will lose desktop customizations http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/resetting-gnomes-settings-ubuntu
[20:03] <lucas-arg> ejer, randomly
[20:03] <illio> ejer, I can try that
[20:03] <ejer> lucas-arg, can you boot to another kernel at boot up and see if that changes anything
[20:04] <leeping> Hey there, I would like to know, does Ubuntu have a debugging terminal so I can see what commands are being run whenever I click on something?
[20:04] <linuxnewb_> whats the command to find the ip address of a p2p host? ty
[20:04] <lucas-arg> ejer, ive installed a version 2.6.39 im reinstalling it right now, and that fixed it before... but i dont know why in this verison of the kernel that happens
[20:05] <ejer> lucas-arg, there are bugs sometimes :) you could check if there is a bug report about it and if not you could think kof submitting one
[20:05] <ejer> leeping, it depends on the application and what kind of info you want. If you start the app from the terminal it can output info that way
[20:06] <ejer> leeping, if you want way more info than you can probably handle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strace
[20:06] <bkfitz> can someone help me out with a dns/resolv.conf problem I'm having on my linode ubuntu machine?  It's crazy because I can ssh into the box, but once I'm in, I can't ping anything... or resolve anything
[20:06] <bkfitz> I've confirmed with linode.com the resolv.conf nameserver ip is correct
[20:06] <bkfitz> for the atlanta region
[20:07] <cybercaffe> hi all
[20:07] <ejer> bkfitz, can you ping an IP rather than a domain name?
[20:07] <markkkz> lucas-arg: had the same problem when I upgraded to that kernel version but the PAE one
[20:07] <bkfitz> nope
[20:07] <bkfitz> can't even ping localhost or 127.0.0.1
[20:07] <bkfitz> it's crazy
[20:07] <lucas-arg> markkkz, it happens to me why any 2.6.38 version of the kernel
[20:07] <bkfitz> so when i do apt-get update it says ubuntu.com... can't resolve
[20:08] <leeping> ejer, thanks.  I want to see what happens when I click on "Connect to Network" on the desktop network manager
[20:08] <bkfitz> but ssh works fine... apache works fine etc
[20:08] <leeping> I can't find the corresponding command anywhere.
[20:08] <maciej_> dobry dzień
[20:08] <bkfitz> maybe it's a resolv.conf problem???
[20:08] <ejer> leeping, I am not sure how to do that sorry, it will be difficult I think
[20:08] <markkkz> lucas-arg: must be hardware related. I re-installed to 64-bit and everything is smooth now
[20:09] <ejer> bkfitz, it sounds more like a network problem, like your route or gateway is wrong maybe
[20:09] <bkfitz> doh... not resolv.conf... meant iptables
[20:09] <ejer> !pl | maciej_
[20:09] <lucas-arg> markkkz, it was happening to me in 64 bits thats why im using 32bits now... but still the same problem
[20:09] <markkkz> lucas-arg: ofc, only reason I tried PAE is coz I have over 4GB of RAM.
[20:10] <qwer> After system-start terminator got auto-started, although it was not listed in "Autostart Applications". After renaming /usr/bin/terminator it stopped starting ;)
[20:10] <ejer> bkfitz, sudo ufw disable ?
[20:10] <qwer> How to specify why it started??
[20:10] <markkkz> lucas-arg: oh... is machine new? have you ran 10.10 or 10.04 before?
[20:10] <qwer> any error logging??
[20:10] <bkfitz> ufw isn't installed for some reason... and when i go to install it, i can't resolve the archive.ubuntu dns or whatever
[20:10] <lucas-arg> markkkz, i did... nothing was happening with any of those versions...
[20:11] <majdekalel> plase help about facebook !!!! im trying to reset my password but i have strange message saying  " facebook expired password please resubmit again !!!! "

[20:11] <shubham_rathi> hey when i select package in residual config in synaptic packet manager for complete removal than i cant click on apply canges
[20:11] <shubham_rathi> its not activated
[20:12] <qwer> << returns in 2 min
[20:12] <shubham_rathi> now how to remove residual config files??
[20:12] <bkfitz> so i've been using iptables or editing the iptables.rules.up file
[20:13] <ejer> bkfitz, iptables -F then try pinging something
[20:13] <bkfitz> ok will do
[20:13] <ejer> shubham_rathi, you have uninstalled the program already you are saying?
[20:13] <shubham_rathi> ejer yes but am unable to remove some residual config files
[20:14] <shubham_rathi> ejer i cant click on apply changes button for complete removal
[20:14] <ejer> shubham_rathi, you can only purge files if program is installed, so you could re-install it then purge it
[20:14] <markkkz> lucas-arg: is it boot now, won't boot later or won't boot at all? or boot but no desktop... stops at plymouth. mine had problem with ATI too. i had to disable radeon from loading on boot.
[20:15] <shubham_rathi> ejer thanks ejer this means i have to reinstall that application than completely remove that?
[20:15] <evan_> How do you run World Of Warcraft on Ubuntu 11.04 in OpenGL mode?
[20:15] <shubham_rathi> ejer and by the whats the meaning of purge?
[20:15] <ejer> shubham_rathi, yep, although the residual files won't hurt anything
[20:15] <shubham_rathi> ejer am new to ubuntu!
[20:15] <ejer> shubham_rathi, purge = completely remove all associated files
[20:16] <ejer> shubham_rathi, welcome to ubuntu :)
[20:16] <shubham_rathi> ejer ok actually am intalling playonlinux
[20:16] <shubham_rathi> ejer but something gone wrong and it stuck on apply changes
[20:16] <shubham_rathi> ejer under ubuntu software manager
[20:17] <ejer> shubham_rathi, you will be better off using the Ubuntu software center under Applications than using Synaptic
[20:17] <shubham_rathi> ejer so i restarted my system than my synaptic package manager unable to open
[20:17] <markkkz> evan put -opengl at the end of the line
[20:17] <evan_> Where and How?
[20:17] <shubham_rathi> ejer when i open update manager than it says partial packages update
[20:18] <shubham_rathi> ejer partial distribution upadate
[20:18] <shubham_rathi> ejer i did that than synaptic package start to work of
[20:18] <ejer> shubham_rathi, let that run then
[20:18] <leeping_> Hi there
[20:18] <leeping_> I just tried using "strace" to figure out what the Ubuntu network manager does
[20:18] <shubham_rathi> ejer but am unable to find play on linux
[20:18] <leeping_> and it didn't reall help .. there was too much information and i couldn't find the relevant bits :P
[20:18] <markkkz> evan_: wine /path/to/wow -opengl   that is how i did when last i played it. but that was like months ago
[20:19] <leeping_> is it correct to assume that the network manager in gnome is a frontend to running commands like ifup and ifdown?  Or is it no longer like that?
[20:19] <shubham_rathi> ejer so i seeing history of installed package deleted one by one all packages
[20:19] <shubham_rathi> ejer playon linux not installed
[20:19] <shubham_rathi> ejer its like 45 packages i seached in synaptic and removed it :'(
[20:20] <ejer> shubham_rathi, it tells you how to install it here http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html that is not an officially supported ubuntu software
[20:20] <shubham_rathi> ejer but some of them now cant be removed from residual config
[20:20] <shubham_rathi> ejer i dont want play on linux
[20:21] <shubham_rathi> ejer i just want my old simple system free of unwanted packages
[20:21] <shubham_rathi> ejer so how to do it?
[20:21] <shubham_rathi> ejer u suggesting that i should install it once again than purge it to completely remove??
[20:21] <ejer> shubham_rathi, that is unnecessary but you can keep trying... I don't know what you want to do really. None of those packages are going to take much space on your hard drive
[20:21] <markkkz> leeping_: i doubt it, but ifup/down still works, same with ifconfig
[20:22] <shubham_rathi> ejer yaa i know but its like some kind of mentality u can say i want my system perfect
[20:22] <shubham_rathi> ejer no junk at all!!!
[20:22] <shubham_rathi> :D
[20:22] <ikonia> shubham_rathi: then don't install junk like playonlinux
[20:23] <ejer> well that is part of learning shubham_rathi - you could reinstall if it is that important to you
[20:23] <minzdravf> holla bro
[20:23] <shubham_rathi> ejer i got that but now how to remove residual config packages?? :'( ikona
[20:24] <ejer> shubham_rathi, can you name a file you would like to remove?
[20:25] <shubham_rathi> ejer ikonia libesd0,libgvc5
[20:25] <shubham_rathi> ejer win1.2
[20:25] <shubham_rathi> ejer and many more
[20:25] <shubham_rathi> ejer total like 8 packages struck in residual config
[20:26] <shubham_rathi> ejer i cant completely remove them :'(
[20:26] <khyron> consegui

[20:26] <khyron> acessar remotamente pelo X
[20:26] <ejer> !es | khyron
[20:27] <shubham_rathi> ejer ok thanks but u have said if i reinstall it than can i completely remove all packages?
[20:27] <Trashi> is it possible to disabled the "restore all open applications after reboot" function in xubuntu 11.04 GLOBALY?
[20:28] <shubham_rathi> ikonia plz u too help!! :'(
[20:28] <shubham_rathi> ejer ??
[20:29] <ejer> shubham_rathi, you are confusing config files with packages, I suggest you read up a bit on package management, it should become clear :)
[20:29] <TomSlominski> hi. my dual screen config is kind of failing... http://tinypic.com/r/2llfw4k/7
[20:29] <TomSlominski> wrong link, sorry
[20:29] <TomSlominski> http://i55.tinypic.com/2llfw4k.png
[20:30] <ejer> TomSlominski, pretty trippy
[20:31] <ejer> TomSlominski, I have had trouble with 2 x screen setups
[20:31] <TomSlominski> i don't have any graphics drivers installed, by the way. AMD stopped supporting my card like a year after release -.-'
[20:31] <shubham_rathi> ejer ok so things i mentioned which is total 8 in number in residual config isnt going to hurt my system??
[20:31] <shubham_rathi> ejer can i safely ignore it???
[20:31] <ejer> shubham_rathi, I would say so
[20:32] <ejer> TomSlominski, is this new occurrence?
[20:32] <TomSlominski> ejer: well, I'm pretty much new to Ubuntu.
[20:32] <TomSlominski> I haven't used dual screen before 11.04
[20:32] <shubham_rathi> ejer ok and should i try for reinstall than i can fully removed??
[20:33] <ejer> TomSlominski, have you tried the Administration>Additional Drivers? there may be a driver for you
[20:33] <TomSlominski> unlikely, it would've told me automatically. ill check it anyway
[20:34] <TomSlominski> no, there aren't any
[20:34] <ejer> shubham_rathi, you can try it, but until you know better what is going on you may be doing something that can screw up your system. If you want to be safe, leave it as-is
[20:34] <ejer> TomSlominski, what card is it
[20:35] <shubham_rathi> ejer ok thanks for suggestion let be there as it is i will ignore them slowly i will got habbit to ignore them!!! :D
[20:35] <shubham_rathi> ejer one more thing i want to know from u?
[20:35] <ejer> !ask | shubham_rathi
[20:36] <TomSlominski> ejer: this one: http://www.amd.com/us/products/embedded/chipsets/Pages/m690t-esb600.aspx
[20:36] <TomSlominski> ejer: wait, thats not the graphics card...
[20:36] <shubham_rathi> ejer i have got nvidia graphics card but everytime i change it settings to maximum power it saves for until system shutdown
[20:37] <rhizmoe> i keep getting shown mail preferences upon startup. well, twice now.
[20:37] <qwer> my window style is loaded very slowly, why could that be?? just installed ubuntu 1 day ago. also the slide downs from menu bar and so on ...
[20:37] <qwer> any idea?
[20:37] <shubham_rathi> ejer once i reboot my system it changes back again to adaptive power setting from maximum power settings
[20:37] <shubham_rathi> ejer now each time whenever i starts system i have to change it settings !!!
[20:37] <shubham_rathi> ejer its like frustating
[20:37] <ejer> shubham_rathi, I think that is on purpose... adaptive is best for most circumstances
[20:37] <TomSlominski> ejer: Radeon X1200 series
[20:37] <shubham_rathi> ejer cant be it fixed?
[20:38] <shubham_rathi> ejer yaa but i want my graphic card to be on full power all time!!!
[20:38] <shubham_rathi> ejer :D
[20:39] <ejer> shubham_rathi, that just is not how it works, it is on full power when it needs it. I don't know how to change that, although I am sure it can be done
[20:39] <TomSlominski> ejer: they support 1300 through to 1900, but not 1200 -.-
[20:39] <shubham_rathi> ejer ok so can u suggest to whom i should contact here?
[20:39] <shubham_rathi> ejer i can come anytime on chat

[20:42] <ejer> Syria, you can install gStm

[20:48] <Ubuntu__> I wanna Enable Opengl and I went on Ubuntu help page and found how to enable opengl but can't find the directory to /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/
[20:48] <zaurav> guntbert, sorry. got carried away. thanks.
[20:48] <guntbert> zaurav: :)
[20:48] <shubham_rathi> zaurav no problem bro can i pm you??
[20:48] <ejer> Ubuntu__, have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[20:48] <zaurav> shubham_rathi, ok.
[20:49] <Ubuntu__> Ejer no I haven't
[20:49] <ejer> Syria_, you can just ssh from the command line, what is wrong with gStm
[20:49] <ejer> Syria_, you could also look at autossh
[20:49] <Syria_> ejer:  I am using this command in the terminal ssh -D port user@server ... and then i can browse the interet via the VPS server that I am connected to. I want for this command to start automatically on system boot.
[20:49] <Ubuntu__> Ejer, Nvm I have read the page im on it right now but haven't found the directory
[20:50] <Syria_> ejer:  okay i will try using autossh because gSTM did not work!! maybe i didnot configure it proberly.
[20:50] <ejer> Syria_, this would work also http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/08/add-an-application-to-gnomes-autostart/ - gStm does not allow the ssh -D socks proxying
[20:50] <spko> hi pople
[20:51] <ejer> Ubuntu__, if you want to find a file go to Places>Search for file
[20:51] <brontosaurusrex> or "locate file.name" might work as well
[20:51] <shubham_rathi> gunbert hii!!! :D
[20:52] <shubham_rathi> guntbert hii!! :D
[20:52] <mystiqueba> Can anyone help me install a python package in Ubuntu (pip, distribute, nose, virtualenv)?
[20:52] <spko> I'm a new ubuntu user...someone can help me with startup application (after login) that requires root permissions?
[20:52] <guntbert> !sudo | spko
[20:53] <spko> mmm I said starrup application after login
[20:53] <ejer> ask your question spko
[20:53] <spko> already done
[20:53] <sfears> spko.. look in your rc.local files somewhere
[20:53] <ejer> ok spko your answer is yes someone can help you
[20:53] <spko> i tried with /etc/rc.local, but it starts at boot system and not after login
[20:54] <sfears> make a script spko
[20:54] <ejer> spko, system>preferences>startup applications
[20:55] <spko> ejer tried also this, but not works
[20:55] <ejer> spko, what not works about it
[20:55] <spko> not starts
[20:55] <Syria_> What should I use for ssh -D socks proxying?
[20:55] <Ubuntu__> Ejer, where do I go for that? (Places>Search for file)
[20:55] <Syria_> ejer:  What should I use for ssh -D socks proxying?
[20:56] <ejer> Syria_, I would write a bash script and add that to the startup applications, or else just run it after you login in the terminal
[20:57] <spko> one step for time...how can I automatic startup an application that requires root permissions without ask passwd?
[20:57] <Syria_> ejer: Thanks. :-)
[20:58] <Jef91> So I've installed the 3.0 kernel on my 10.04 system and it works great except the side scrolling no longer works on my track pad. Any ideas on this?
[20:58] <ejer> spko, you need to give them sudo privileges with passwd, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/33 then you need to run the command at startup using sudo or gksudo
[20:58] <sfears> spko, make a script
[20:58] <ejer> spko, I meant without passwd
[20:59] <ejer> sfears, what kind of script would allow them to run root commands without a password
[21:00] <F3ro> how do you watch netflix on ubuntu?
[21:01] <sfears> spko: inside the script type "sudo ssh -D socks", chmod -x the script.sh to give it executable permissions and place the script in the /etc/init.d folder
[21:01] <ejer> F3ro, you can't really
[21:01] <spko> ejer, if the owner of the application becomes root, it-s not enough?
[21:01] <ejer> spko, becoming root asks for a passwd unless you configure sudo
[21:02] <ejer> F3ro, you can use a virtual machine http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_watch_Netflix_%28Watch_Instantly%29_in_Linux
[21:02] <spko> sfears, I said after login, not at boot system, and what you said require sudo update-rc.d program_name too
[21:03] <F3ro> ejer tyvm
[21:03] <sfears> ok, then place in the /etc/rc.5 folder
[21:03] <Lasers> F3ro: You could stop using Netflix because it does not support linux. ;)
[21:03] <jrib> sfears: erm, why?
[21:04] <ejer> sfears, why are you giving bad advice
[21:05] <sfears> because good is dumb
[21:05] <jrib> sfears: ok, well please stop
[21:06] <catcher> Is there a way to have irssi send a notice to the indicator applet when my nick is used?
[21:08] <SIFTU> catcher: yes, not sure what it is on irssi.. enotify script?
[21:08] <catcher> SIFTU: I'll look into that, ty

[21:11] <d34th4ck3r__> I have a doubt
[21:11] <d34th4ck3r__> in C
[21:11] <SIFTU> d34th4ck3r__: sounds like you need a C channel
[21:11] <d34th4ck3r__> it needs invitation! :(
[21:12] <antihoax> wow a 1337 d34th4ck3r__ with doubts
[21:12] <catcher> rad, thank you!
[21:12] <SIFTU> d34th4ck3r__: ##c?
[21:13] <d34th4ck3r__> what does this line mean : int k=((int (*)(void *, void *, void *)) a)(b,c,d); here a is a char * and b,c,d are int function
[21:14] <Flannel> d34th4ck3r__: You should ask in ##C
[21:15] <d34th4ck3r__> Flannel: it says "you need to be identified with services"
[21:15] <d34th4ck3r__> :(
[21:15] <Flannel> d34th4ck3r__: That could be.  You should register.  /msg nickserv help register
[21:15] <SIFTU> d34th4ck3r__: yeah then identify

[21:18] <Roasted> Lasers, so I essentially have to copy this stuff via terminal?
[21:19] <LAnCe3RRR> is anyone here experienced with liveUSBs?
[21:19] <ejer> yes LAnCe3RRR
[21:20] <LAnCe3RRR> would you mind helping me with an issue?
[21:20] <Lasers> Roasted: Yes. Most people use XBMC to access files from their computer/server instead of storing it directly
[21:20] <ejer> !ask | LAnCe3RRR
[21:21] <Lasers> Roasted: For instance, I have two XBMC in my house. Family's living room + my living room (3rd floor). Both use samba to connect my computer. Also, you can always ssh in then "screen" and move files over there.
[21:23] <auser> hola
[21:23] <LAnCe3RRR> !ask im running linux on a laptop via unetbootin live usb, my harddrive is 162g of unallocated space, im haveing trouble installing linux to my harddrive, for some reason when it tryes to format to ex3 it freezes at 5%, any suggestions?
[21:24] <snow_usa> ok
[21:24] <LAnCe3RRR> Im running linux on a laptop via unetbootin live usb, my harddrive is 162g of unallocated space, im haveing trouble installing linux to my harddrive, for some reason when it tryes to format to ex3 it freezes at 5%, any suggestions?
[21:24] <mongy> LAnCe3RRR, ext3 takes a while to format, more than ext4, so it might just be 'working'
[21:25] <jcapinc> LAnCe3RRR, I made the same mistakes, just let it run, it is working
[21:25] <jcapinc> I messed up some hard drives that way
[21:25] <LAnCe3RRR> no, ive tryed several times and even left it over night, somethings wrong
[21:25] <jcapinc> is the computer old?
[21:25] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, any reason you want to use ext3 instead of ext4 ?
[21:26] <LAnCe3RRR> well its a dell insprion 8600
[21:26] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, you could try the alternate install CD, this has helped some people with this problem. Also, choosing manual partitioning may do the trick
[21:26] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, I've been using ext4 for quite some time.  It is very stable.  you might want to try that.
[21:27] <LAnCe3RRR> and how do i install manually?
[21:27] <ejer> psingh, at 5% it has not gotten to formatting stage yet probably...
[21:27] <yeats> !alternate | LAnCe3RRR - if this is what you mean by 'manually'
[21:28] <LAnCe3RRR> where do i get one of those?
[21:28] <psingh> ejer, I'm trying to remember the install process.  Doesn't it format 1st (when it says creating ext file system)?
[21:28] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, this may also help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/PartitioningBasics
[21:28] <yeats> LAnCe3RRR: see the link ubottu sent
[21:28] <SIFTU> LAnCe3RRR: maybe the link listed
[21:28] <ejer> psingh, it has to make the partitions first, then formats
[21:29] <psingh> ejer, yes, I remember now.
[21:29] <LAnCe3RRR> well, im useing bactrack.
[21:29] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[21:30] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, under Additional options, click alternative downloads >

[21:31] <SIFTU> LAnCe3RRR: /j #backtrack-linux
[21:34] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, also, you might want to run the Disk Utility (palimpsest) from the live CD/USB to check your disk for errors/failure.
[21:34] <LAnCe3RRR> can one of you help me with my issue please? i have to register to use #backtrack-linux

[21:35] <Clusterfunk> What do I do?
[21:35] <catcher> Is there an irc client that fires PM/nick mention notifications to the indicator app?
[21:35] <psingh> LAnCeRRR, additionally, you could use Partition Manager (gparted) to partition your disk Before running the install.
[21:35] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: fix your graphics driver.. what graphics card do you have
[21:36] <LAnCe3RRR> how do i use disk utility?
[21:36] <LAnCe3RRR> how do i use disk utility?
[21:36] <qwer> compiz sux
[21:37] <ejer> catcher, I use xchat
[21:37] <SIFTU> catcher: irssi does it with fnotify http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fnotify/fnotify
[21:37] <psingh> catcher, Empathy gives me a "ping" when my nick is mentioned.
[21:37] <LAnCe3RRR> gparted also fails
[21:37] <LAnCe3RRR> ive tryed that
[21:38] <Clusterfunk> SIFTU: I have a Radeon 6670m
[21:38] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, when you launch the Disk Utility, click on your disk.  Then Click on "SMART Data" on the right.
[21:38] <Clusterfunk> I installed the updates from AMD's website, SIFTU, but I can't figure out how to remove them
[21:38] <catcher> SIFTU: fnotify is looking remote only, and a bit complicated..
[21:39] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: well, there is your problem
[21:39] <catcher> ejer: xchat lights up your indicator app by default?
[21:39] <SIFTU> catcher: you can do it to localhost
[21:39] <LAnCe3RRR> where is disk utility?
[21:39] <catcher> Ah..
[21:39] <Clusterfunk> when I do ./amd-install.run --uninstall it tells me there is no uninstall.sh script, SIFTU
[21:39] <psingh> LAnCeRRR, try installing the KDE Partition Manager (sudo apt-get install partitionmanager) and see if that works better than gparted.
[21:39] <ejer> catcher, yep
[21:39] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: not sure.. why didnt you use the ones in the repo?
[21:39] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all, could anyone help me install packages to a machine's home directory? I don't have admin privileges on the machine but the administrator said if I wanted to install a new program I could do it in my home dir, I just don't know how

[21:40] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[21:40] <Clusterfunk> SIFTU: The ones that it wanted to install from "Additional Driver" kept disabling Unity, even though I could use Unity just fine before installing them
[21:40] <ejer> JokesOnYou77, what program
[21:40] <SIFTU> JokesOnYou77: well depends how complex the program is
[21:40] <LAnCe3RRR> what command should i type into the shell to launch "disk utility"?
[21:41] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, gksudo palimpsest
[21:41] <JokesOnYou77> I thought I would test it with ninvaders or pacman (the terminal games) before trying anything more complicated
[21:41] <gusnan> qwer, What do your devilspie rules look like?

[21:44] <SIFTU> JokesOnYou77: yeats links is what I would do too.. basically you will have to compile from source and not use the package manager
[21:45] <JokesOnYou77> Ok, I think I can figure that out... thanks all
[21:45] <bennis> hey, does anybody know how to fix this error? /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found
[21:45] <Clusterfunk> SIFTU: I did aticonfig --uninstall in recovery mode and it said it uninstalled the problematic drivers
[21:45] <yeats> bennis: have you installed build-essential?
[21:45] <Clusterfunk> Now upon rebooting, it's showing a bunch of code and not doing anything
[21:46] <bennis> yeats: yep
[21:46] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: did you check if you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:46] <gusnan> qwer, thanks - you have all your rules in one file? (the one you pasted)?
[21:46] <}[Oo]{> [9] mask: cenuij / server: * / channel: * <<< TROOF.
[21:46] <qwer> gusnan: yes
[21:46] <Clusterfunk> I did not, SIFTU. What difference would that make?
[21:46] <JokesOnYou77> Actually, one more question, how do a download just the source of a package like ninvaders from the repos? Is there an apt-get option for that?  I'm going to download the package on my local computer and then push it to the other mashine so i can run make over ssh
[21:46] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, and it wouldn't hurt to try partitionmanager.  In the past, I've had one work when the other didn't (partitionmanager or gparted).
[21:46] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: well it could try to load the ati driver
[21:46] <bennis> jokesonyou: i think there is, check the man page for apt-get
[21:47] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: if you have one.. remove it
[21:47] <}[Oo]{> sudo apt-cache search ninvaders?
[21:47] <ejer> Clusterfunk, xorg.conf is likely asking for a driver that does not exist. If you get rid of it it should regenerate it
[21:47] <Clusterfunk> ah, ok
[21:47] <JokesOnYou77> thanks again
[21:47] <LAnCe3RRR> you know what, im just going to not even use backtrack, im going to use ubuntu and add the programs that i like to it
[21:47] <Clusterfunk> I have a problem with the Ubuntu drivers though
[21:48] <bennis> does anyone know how to fix /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found? i have build essential and all of my dependencies installed as far as i know.
[21:48] <Clusterfunk> The "
[21:48] <Clusterfunk> The "Additional Drivers" for my graphics card disable Unity for some reason
[21:48] <Clusterfunk> and even when I uninstall them, I can't get Unity back
[21:48] <JokesOnYou77> }[Oo]{: I don't think the search function would download the package, just give me a description, but thank you
[21:48] <}[Oo]{> are you LFS, bennis?
[21:48] <Clusterfunk> I've reinstalled Ubuntu like 3 times today, SIFTU
[21:48] <bennis> i'm not sure what "LFS" means
[21:48] <}[Oo]{> yeah and then sudo apt-get install ninvaders, derp
[21:49] <LAnCe3RRR> quick question, does Ubuntu support more drivers than backtrack?
[21:49] <}[Oo]{> the search function will tell you what to download :)
[21:49] <yeats> LAnCe3RRR: most of the drivers are in the Linux kernel, so they're probably comparable
[21:49] <ejer> JokesOnYou77, apt-get source packagename
[21:49] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: first, get it booting to a GUI, then work on installing the correct drivers
[21:49] <JokesOnYou77> bingo!
[21:50] <JokesOnYou77> ty :)
[21:51] <bennis> so how do i get the older packager version though? i have 4.5, i'm pretty sure :/
[21:51] <LAnCe3RRR> well linuxbactrack dosent reconize my wifi driver i was wondering if Ubuntu had more comparability
[21:51] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, backtrack is based on older ubuntu version
[21:51] <}[Oo]{> apt-get install --reinstall libstdc++6 ?
[21:51] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, Backtrack 5 R1 release (Based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Linux kernel 2.6.39.4)
[21:51] <yeats> bennis: is libstdc++-dev installed?
[21:51] <psingh> LAnCe3RRR, which Wi-Fi card do you have?
[21:52] <LAnCe3RRR> not shure what the complete name is, it came stock on my dell inprison 8600
[21:52] <mehagopajas> server irc.irc-hispano.org
[21:52] <bennis> yeats: there is no -dev, it's all *-dev
[21:53] <bennis> yeats: the asterix being a version number, starting at 5
[21:53] <yeats> !info libstdc++-dev
[21:53] <Clusterfunk> I removed xorg.conf, SIFTU, but it's still having problems booting. I think the fault ati driver is still around
[21:53] <yeats> hmm
[21:53] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: do you have network?
[21:53] <Clusterfunk> Only wifi
[21:53] <Clusterfunk> And I can't get into GUI
[21:53] <}[Oo]{> where is the 6?
[21:53] <yeats> !info libstdc++6-4.5-dev
[21:53] <bennis> yeats: there's libstdc++6-dev
[21:53] <bennis> and yeah, that one
[21:54] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: so it's not available when you log into the commandline
[21:54] <bennis> should i just install them all?
[21:54] <Clusterfunk> no
[21:54] <SIFTU> bennis: what are you trying to do when you get that error
[21:54] <LAnCe3RRR> ubuntu is only 685.3MB?
[21:54] <LAnCe3RRR> ubuntu is only 685.3MB?
[21:54] <jclbrt> hmmm odd... i just installed Ubuntu Server and seemingly having an interesting error (though i am not sure what it has to do with anything)
[21:54] <bennis> play wagic :D
[21:54] <ejer> bennis, http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=15330 may help, reinstall g++ and gcc
[21:55] <bennis> i already reinstalled
[21:55] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, yes, it fits on one cd
[21:55] <bennis> that was the first google listing -_-
[21:55] <jclbrt> anytime i restart the networking example for one... i get "postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf
[21:55] <SIFTU> Clusterfunk: you can look at the log file "grep '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[21:55] <LAnCe3RRR> well thats pretty badass, backtrack is w whoping 2g
[21:55] <jclbrt> i understand postfix is for mail server but why would that have anything to do with restarting the networking service
[21:55] <LAnCe3RRR> well thats pretty badass, backtrack is a whoping 2g
[21:55] <Clusterfunk> I think I'm just going to reinstall Ubuntu
[21:55] <Clusterfunk> This is a pain in the ass
[21:56] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, because backtrack has a bunch of other software installed
[21:56] <SIFTU> jclbrt: it probably have a hook.. look in /etc/network/if-up.d
[21:56] <LAnCe3RRR> yes, i dont need all of them, just a handfull i actually use
[21:56] <catcher> testing fnotify, will someone please mention my name?
[21:57] <SIFTU> catcher: hello
[21:57] <catcher> bah
[21:57] <catcher> :)
[21:57] <LAnCe3RRR> what was the first linux distro?
[21:57] <yeats> jclbrt: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/42947 - this is an old bug, but comments are as fresh as last week
[21:57] <jclbrt> yeats: i see postfix in there
[21:58] <ejer> LAnCe3RRR, redhat and suse in 1994
[21:58] <yeats> LAnCe3RRR: probably slackware
[21:58] <jclbrt> also see upstart ntpdate and wpasupplicant yeats
[21:59] <catcher> SIFTU: Well, it wrote the file it was supposed to, I suppose I have to find a way to connect that to indicator app now
[21:59] <LAnCe3RRR> what was was slackware used for?
[21:59] <IdleOne> !ot
[22:00] <LAnCe3RRR> !ot
[22:00] <yeats> LAnCe3RRR: you might want to do some wikipedia reading - there's lots there ;-)
[22:01] <SIFTU> catcher: I dont use irssi sorry I use weechat.. but I found this http://code.google.com/p/irssi-libnotify/

[22:04] <kuc> test
[22:05] <rebecca_> hello
[22:05] <kuc> hi
[22:05] <rebecca_> hey can u help me ?
[22:05] <kuc> sure, if i can
[22:05] <IdleOne> with?
[22:05] <JokesOnYou77> ok, so I'm lost lol.  The link yeats gave was great but I was kidding myself that I'd be able to compile this myself, I really don't know how to use make.  I downloaded the source and now have a directory and 3 files, what do I need to do to build the thing?
[22:06] <rebecca_> well you see my friend came over and messed with my pc and now it seems wierd is it possible to get a virus on xubuntu?
[22:06] <yeats> !compile | JokesOnYou77
[22:06] <RobbieCrash> Is anyone here running ZFS? If so, what speeds are you seeing for read/write and what type of drives are you running it under?
[22:06] <RobbieCrash> !zfs
[22:06] <kuc> i dont think so rebecca
[22:06] <rebecca_> ok
[22:06] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: I wouldnt run it under ubuntu
[22:06] <rebecca_> also
[22:07] <qin> rebecca_: Have your friend had known your password?
[22:07] <yeats> rebecca_: can you provide more details as to what's wrong?
[22:07] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: thats under fuse right
[22:07] <IdleOne> rebecca_: it is possible though very unlikely, what seems weird exactly?
[22:07] <JokesOnYou77> yeats: thanks again :)
[22:07] <yeats> JokesOnYou77: sure ;-)
[22:07] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, no there's a native Linux module
[22:07] <yeats> SIFTU: that notify plugin works well ;-)
[22:07] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: ah ok, the one you have to compile yourself
[22:08] <rebecca_> ok my frend doesnt know my pass, and when i say wierd i mean every time i log on the sreen seems shaky, nothing will, load, and my ZNES emulator is down and nothing will run
[22:08] <rebecca_> so can you help?
[22:08] <SIFTU> yeats: lol, all my irc is remote so i use rnotify under weechat with reverse ssh tunnels
[22:08] <yeats> awesome
[22:08] <rebecca_> try www.ZNES.com
[22:08] <rebecca_> its cool
[22:09] <rebecca_> but if it doesnt show up its cuz its down
[22:09] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, yeah, I've already compiled and have it running native, but the performance I'm seeing is wretched. 22MB/sec writes. 40MB/sec reads.
[22:09] <rebecca_> brb
[22:09] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: with what RAID set and how many disks
[22:10] <Corey> !sound
[22:10] <rebecca_> i want to start up a new disk
[22:10] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: TBH I wouldnt run it under linux.. the BSD version isnt that great either.. stick to OI or solaris
[22:10] <RobbieCrash> RAIDZ2, across 5 WD 1TB Caviar Black drives.
[22:11] <rebecca_> TBH I have some advice. Never run anything under linux unless it has a license and support code 4 linux
[22:11] <catcher> Testing another notify, can someone please use my nick?
[22:11] <rebecca_> catcher?
[22:11] <pr0ton_> where i can get the default file - /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:11] <IdleOne> !test | catcher
[22:11]  * RaTTuS|BIG Humps |
[22:11] <pr0ton_> i'm on lucid
[22:11] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: 64bit and penty of RAM?
[22:11] <jcpham> normally poor raid performance is due to the controller cache settings
[22:11] <catcher> rThanks!
[22:11] <jcpham> in servers at least
[22:11] <rebecca_> nb
[22:11] <rebecca_> np
[22:11] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, yeah, I'm looking at maybe installing Open Solaris but I'm not that comfortable moving my file server to an OS I know nothing about.
[22:12] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: RAIDZ2 with 5 drives
[22:12] <rebecca_> lemme change one sec
[22:12] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, 64bit with 8GB of RAM, arc limit at 7
[22:12] <jroysdon> rebecca_, what do you mean by "has a license and support code for linux"?  What sort of software?  All software has some sort of license ;-p
[22:12] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, 5 for now, and 2 more to be put in by the 15th
[22:12] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: seems all ok.. RAIDZ2 will slow you down, but still
[22:13] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: and you know you cant expand the RAIDZ2 set right
[22:13] <rebecca_> every time you run something under linux files it has a support code and license to run on linux
[22:13] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, yeah, I'm not expecting 800MB/sec, but I was assuming at LEAST 50MB/sec write and 100MB/sec read.
[22:13] <rebecca_> if it doesnt have this it wont work
[22:14] <steliovitch> hello
[22:14] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, wait, what? You can't expand the RAIDZ2 set? So I can't actually add more disks to the array?
[22:14] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:14] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: no you cant.. you have to create a new array
[22:14] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:14] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:14] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:14] <FloodBot1> steliovitch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:14] <jroysdon> rebecca_, nearly nothing I run has a "support code" as it's all FOSS and I have no support contracts.  Still not getting what you mean.  Support like you can call up and get helpdesk/tech support on how to do stuff?
[22:14] <RobbieCrash> SIFTU, should I just break it and create a RAIDZ array?
[22:14] <koa> ubuntu rocks :)
[22:14] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:15] <jclbrt> anyone know if there's like a newer version of libmd5-perl
[22:15] <SIFTU> RobbieCrash: you really need to plan ZFS installs. have you read the best practices guide?
[22:15] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:15] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:15] <steliovitch> I am using windows 7 only ubuntu sucks
[22:15] <jclbrt> i need to install it per directions but it's not being found in the repos
[22:15] <FloodBot1> steliovitch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:15] <koa> windows 7 will be dead after installing 2 high end games and 1 month of use like mine lol :P
[22:15] <artzzz> hi all
[22:16] <rebecca_> yeah thats kind of what i mean but also lets say you download a hypercam and then you try to run it linux will now let you run it because it blocks those types of files so it needs a certain code and license to run on linux but it should run on windows, etc.
[22:16] <artzzz> I am trying to compress all the config folders (.xxxx) in a tar.gz file, but using .* as the filter doesn't lead to the expected results, since it takes . as the current folder as well. any idea on how to deal with this kind of file filters?
[22:16] <jrib> rebecca_: what on earth are you talking about?
[22:17] <rebecca_> sorry i meant to say it WONT let you run the file.
[22:17] <rebecca_> lol
[22:17] <jrib> rebecca_: do you have an actual support question related to ubuntu?
[22:17] <rebecca_> yes!
[22:17] <Pupuser402-1> hi
[22:17] <rebecca_> you just dont get it...
[22:17] <IdleOne> you haven't asked it
[22:17] <shawn_> does anyoe know ifthere was a bug back in ubuntu 10.04?
[22:17] <rebecca_> ok let me think of how 2 say this
[22:17] <Pupuser402-1> does anyone like unity?
[22:18] <shawn_> like awhile ago having something to do with load average?
[22:18] <jrib> artzzz: use zsh ;) or change the way you glob
[22:18] <IdleOne> Pupuser402-1: yes. see /msg ubottu !polls
[22:18] <Pupuser402-1> hi
[22:18] <alternut> rebecca_: hypercam is a windows program, you can try running it with wine
[22:18] <Pupuser402-1> can anyone hear me?
[22:18] <cmicalle> hi
[22:18] <shawn_> yes
[22:18] <jroysdon> rebecca_, that's not exactly how things work.  Linux, Windows, Mac OS, are all 3 different OS.  You can't just take an app from one and expect to run it on another OS.  Now, there are emulators, and somes apps are written/ported for many OSes... but it's like taking a Wiimote and expecting it to work with your XBox.
[22:19] <rebecca_> so if you download something on linux, it wont usually let you run because it is meant for windows. so it needs to be a certain type for it to run thats why linux doesnt have viruses BECAUSE IT WONT LET U DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
[22:19] <Myrtti> Pupuser402-1: did you have a Ubuntu support question?
[22:19] <IdleOne> Pupuser402-1: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[22:19] <Pupuser402-1> it cant be a .exe file
[22:19] <jrib> rebecca_: you're not asking a question.
[22:19] <rebecca_> the only thing i have downloaded is and emulator callled ZSNES
[22:19] <rebecca_> so what im asking is
[22:19] <Pupuser402-1> virtual box :)
[22:19] <artzzz> jrib, but is there a way to do it easily without zsh?
[22:20] <psingh> rebecca_, what does ZSNES doe/emulate?
[22:20] <xangua> snes psingh...
[22:20] <rebecca_> is there a way to download more operating tools on linux without software centre and pre-installed software?
[22:20] <jclbrt> hey can anyone help?? I'm following these instructions to set up my ubuntu server as router for my house. but i'm having issues with one of the steps: directions here: http://www.server-servers.com/ubuntu-router-network-gateway/
[22:20] <Sidewinder1> plustax, If you're still here, please see my PM.
[22:20] <Myrtti> rebecca_: zsnes is available from the Ubuntu software center
[22:20] <rebecca_> wait
[22:20] <rebecca_> ...
[22:21] <rebecca_> really?
[22:21] <jclbrt> having trouble with the enable packet forwarding section
[22:21] <rebecca_> oh my gosh i feel so stupid
[22:21] <jclbrt> i found the line that says net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
[22:21] <jrib> artzzz: well, you could use find or grep to get rid of the . and .. .  There's also a way to glob and avoid . and .. (you need to make a glob that takes files that start with . and have a non-dot after
[22:21] <mongy> rebecca_, not for 64bit
[22:21] <rebecca_> because i got it from a frend and she just sent the link...
[22:21] <jclbrt> but i have no clue what the heck the author intends for me to do with the echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[22:21] <rebecca_> sorry...
[22:21] <rebecca_> XD
[22:22] <rebecca_> :(
[22:22] <jclbrt> is that suppose to be added to the sysctl.conf file or somewhere else
[22:22] <SIFTU> jclbrt: that enables routing
[22:22] <jclbrt> SIFTU, but wherre am I suppose to be adding that line?
[22:22] <rebecca_> the terminal will not load...
[22:22] <jroysdon> Is 64-bit support just as lacking or cumbersome in Ubuntu as it is in Windows and other Linux distros (Fedora background)?  I typically stick to i686 since PAE gives access to large amounts of memory just fine.
[22:22] <shawn_> Has anyone experienced a bug on ubuntu 10.04 with firebox.bin eatin there cpu
[22:22] <shawn_> ?
[22:23] <jpds> jroysdon: No?
[22:23] <rebecca_> yes i have
[22:23] <shawn_> reb u have?
[22:23] <jrib> artzzz: do you understand or want me to be more verbose? :P
[22:23] <rebecca_> why?
[22:23] <jroysdon> rebecca_, do you have a 64bit or 32bit version of Ubuntu installed?
[22:23] <psingh> jroysdon, I'm pretty happy with x64.
[22:23] <IdleOne> !details | rebecca_ shawn_
[22:23] <Myrtti> shawn_: it happens with pretty much any browser if you've got websites heavy on flash and/or javascript on the browser
[22:23] <artzzz> jrib, oh ok I see
[22:23] <rebecca_> i have a 64bit...
[22:23] <artzzz> jrib, well I can try zsh for this simple case I guess
[22:24] <jroysdon> psingh, ok, but any incompatibilities?  Like Flash on Fedora lacks non-alpha support for 64bit (or did for a long time)
[22:24] <shawn_> Becuase im on ubuntu 10.04 and i keep getting spikes
[22:24] <rebecca_> i have a problem with terminal when I try to type something the system seems to be corrupt and it says it needs to close!
[22:24] <psingh> rebecca_, I've installed 32 bit software on x64 in Ubuntu.  It runs file.  You jst need the 32 bit libraries.
[22:24] <jrib> artzzz: this is one of the many nice things zsh gets right.  In bash I guess you have to do something like .[A-Za-z0-9]*
[22:24] <rebecca_> ok...
[22:24] <mongy> rebecca_, you can grab the 32bit and force install it, as long as you install ia32-libs.  works fine
[22:24] <rebecca_> thank-you
[22:24] <jroysdon> shawn_, I recommend NoScript to try and help protect your Firefox from flash and other junk.  It won't fix Firefox from being a memory/cpu hog, but it will help.
[22:24] <artzzz> jrb, Oh ok so it is more like regex. yes, zsh is much simpler with that
[22:24] <artzzz> jrib, thanks a lot!
[22:24] <rebecca_> alright
[22:24] <rebecca_> thanks alot!
[22:24] <Myrtti> jroysdon: flash is proprietary technology, the release schedule of it is dependant on Adobe, not with the linux distributions
[22:24] <rebecca_> big help
[22:25] <rebecca_> seeya!
[22:25] <rebecca_> BYE<!
[22:25] <jrib> artzzz: you can also try #bash, they might know a better awy
[22:25] <jroysdon> Myrtti, exactly.  But with 32bit, Flash support is kept current.
[22:25] <thomc> I have two GPUs. Appropriate drivers are installed for each. If I reboot and switch my monitor from one card to the other, will ubuntu recognize this?
[22:25] <zoro> hi I'm on a laptop. How can I do to reduce luminosity please??
[22:25] <shawn_> jroysdon,  where can i get noscript
[22:26] <xangua> zoro: with your function keys or energy settings
[22:26] <Myrtti> jroysdon: I do believe they've done some advancements lately tho
[22:26] <Sidewinder1> shawn_, AdblockPlus is also a nice addition to FF extentions as well as Noscript.
[22:26] <berpiner> holas
[22:26] <jroysdon> shawn_, Tools - Add-Ons, Get Add-Ons
[22:26] <shawn_> well im on a intel core i7 and this is mt load ave

[22:42] <urlin2u> np_ I would say your overprotecting the ubuntu to be honest, it has a stock firewall and does not run in root.
[22:42] <pi_> Im doing it for a reason
[22:42] <mrintegrity> pi_: sounds like you set up your proxy wrong
[22:42] <pi_> i dont use ubuntu as normal browsing
[22:42] <mrintegrity> pi_: or the virtual network
[22:42] <studio> #irchelp
[22:43] <mrintegrity> pi_: i guess there is a host only network between the vm's and one vm should connect to the internet via the other, which is using the host as the default route
[22:43] <mrintegrity> just a guess though.. is that how it is suppose to work?
[22:44] <pi_> yea thats how it should work
[22:45] <pi_> i already installed anything again but i get the same error, i thought i did something wrong
[22:45] <pi_> but it still says connection time out like in the screen
[22:45] <mrintegrity> pi_: not a terribly simple setup, you should detail your actual configuration more, rather than showing just a screenshot of some ip's etc

[22:47] <mrintegrity> pi_: yes, it is not really sufficient
[22:47] <mrintegrity> what are you using for proxy?
[22:47] <pi_> a program called tor
[22:47] <mrintegrity> ah
[22:47] <qwer> Is there any Android-SDK package in Ubuntu?
[22:48] <mrintegrity> so you installed tor as an exit node or something (not entirely sure how tor is setup) on the dsl vm?
[22:48] <mrintegrity> pi_: or you connect to the public tor network via the dsl vm?
[22:48] <pi_> i did not install tor on my vm
[22:48] <mrintegrity> and you just have a route between them or what?
[22:48] <pi_> yes i have a route between them
[22:49] <mrintegrity> and you can ping the hosts from each other? and login via ssh? vm to vm?

[22:50] <mrintegrity> so you installed tor on the ubuntu vm
[22:50] <pi_> no i didnt
[22:50] <pi_> i have tor on windows

[22:51] <crash82> Hello, I have a slow laptop what desktop would you people recomend ?
[22:51] <mrintegrity> pi_: so you connect to tor on windows then start your vm's?
[22:51] <mrintegrity> probably you just have to route the vm traffic over tor then..
[22:52] <mrintegrity> torify virtualbox or something
[22:52] <pi_> i have tor open on windows, then i start my 2vm's which are on a encrypted hidden volume

[22:53] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: gnome3 isn't supported here
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[22:54] <urlin2u> in0cula, have you tried vlc wmv could be a number of types I beleive.
[22:54] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: I don't know that the issue is gnome3 related, you saying that ot is?
[22:54] <mrintegrity> pi_: the screen shot shows you trying to create an ssh tunnle (i think), where does that fit into the picture?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: if you are running gnome3 then it will break your OS. It's not suitable for Natty
[22:55] <in0cula> yes i tried VLC, no luck
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> in0cula: try gnome-mplayer
[22:55] <mrintegrity> pi_: sorry, good luck with it. i have to go to bed now
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> in0cula: also add the medibuntu ppa and install w32codecs (I assume 32bit OS)
[22:56] <robin0800> rebecca_, of course you can use a browser to download .deb's and gdebi to install them
[22:56] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: it has not broke it, thus far, cairo may be the issue for all I know
[22:57] <pi_> hmm sad
[22:57] <in0cula> I did , gome mplayer and 64codec, don't know what to do more, wine?
[22:59] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: medibuntu is supported ?
[23:00] <yeats> !medibuntu
[23:00] <desaiu> How do you change the boot splash?
[23:00] <almoxarife> in0cula: do you have 'totem' player installed?
[23:01] <almoxarife> in0cula: because 'totem' should be playing 'wmv' out of the box
[23:01] <zykotick9> almoxarife, i don't think so...
[23:01] <in0cula> yes i have totem
[23:02] <almoxarife> zykotick9: I do think so, unless the help file on 'totem' is wrong
[23:02] <in0cula> maybe the format of this WMV is different? could be that?
[23:02] <zykotick9> in0cula, try with mplayer (vlc doesn't use the w32codecs)
[23:02] <varikonniemi> hello. When i have set up an usb disk via disk utility to be encrypted what encryption does it use, van i be dure to it not being craced short of guessing the pw?
[23:02] <in0cula> i used gnome-mplayer
[23:02] <in0cula> no luck
[23:03] <in0cula> i don't think is possible to play this file in ubuntu
[23:03] <zykotick9> almoxarife, wmv is a proprietary MS codec, totem relies on gstreamer for it's codecs, and wmv can't be included OOTB for legal reasons
[23:03] <in0cula> i'll play in windows virtualbox
[23:04] <urlin2u> in0cula, I have found some that play some that don't.
[23:04] <in0cula> yes, some file are not supported :(
[23:05] <in0cula> thax to everybody for the help
[23:06] <almoxarife> zykotick9: please look at your copy of totem.1.gz help file, then contact ubuntu, seems they may disagree with you

[23:26] <excelsior> so I'm converting an office from windows to ubuntu with the director's blessings. I'm starting by switching to dual booting. A couple of issues: some computers are using a wireless USB NIC, and they don't want to connect even with a direct line of sight with the wireless router. Should static IPs be an issue?
[23:26] <rhizmoe> is there a reason why I can't select "selection" in the print option dialog that pops up when I print something? it's only pagewise printing...
[23:27] <footvilla> <script src='http://pastie.org/2619677.js'></script>
[23:27] <rhizmoe> excelsior: don't dual boot. cutover with the most skilled first and work your way down so that there's plenty of people to help answer questions when the least skilled get their boxes. don't drag it out, tho.
[23:28] <footvilla> http://pastie.org/2619677
[23:28] <rhizmoe> excelsior: it's the wifi that's the problem, probably.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> excelsior: you can use static IP if you want, just remember to set them outside the scope of the routers DHCP pool
[23:28] <Shinydan> actionparsnip: found the code, working on it. cheers.
[23:28] <SIFTU> footvilla: well that log tells you the problem.. your sasl auth isnt working
[23:29] <excelsior> ActionParsnip: could that be causing my wifi problems?
[23:29] <SIFTU> excelsior: or it could be those adapters dont work out of the box with ubuntu..
[23:29] <Cale> Suppose I want to use a copy of firefox which isn't the one from Ubuntu's package (and want not to have Ubuntu's firefox installed). How do I set /usr/local/firefox/firefox as the preferred application for opening links? The "Preferred Applications" applet gives me no choice to enter a filename on my own, and setting it in .gconf doesn't seem to have helped.
[23:30] <Cale> All the other tabs in that box allow custom commands, why not a web browser or mail client?
[23:31] <footvilla> any idea how i can fix it?
[23:32] <rhizmoe> footvilla: #postfix
[23:32] <excelsior> SIFTU: they work with Windows, unfortunately, so I don't know what to do.
[23:32] <rhizmoe> excelsior: well, are they even getting detected? dmesg
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> excelsior: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan   on a system, does it find networks?
[23:32] <SIFTU> excelsior: try "lsusb|grep net" and paste the adapter here
[23:32] <abobakr> what to do if i want to read a kindle format book
[23:32] <excelsior> I'm starting to take an inventory. Yes, they're detected. They just go really slow, and disconnect easily.
[23:33] <footvilla> #postfix ?
[23:33] <Mysterytrain> is there a way to kick off locked up users? like a nickserv ghost command
[23:33] <SIFTU> footvilla: that tutorial has how to set up sasl
[23:33] <bkfitz> can someone help me resolve a dns issue on my ubuntu linode machine
[23:33] <Cale> In fact, I seem to recall the Preferred Applications panel used to have the option to enter a custom commandline to launch a browser. What happened to that?
[23:33] <bkfitz> I'm not able to resolve anything..

[23:41] <oohbantoo3> zykotick9 I'm using lubuntu
[23:41] <zykotick9> oohbantoo3, thus the reason you don't have gedit

[23:44] <SIFTU> excelsior: looks like some people got it going but with a lot of playing around.. easiest solution is to get adapter which have good support in the linux kernel
[23:44] <JokesOnYou77> bkfitz: I don't understand how to actually get a window with the remote X server in it.  Do I need to use Xepher or something?
[23:44] <bkfitz> man i wish someone could help me with iptables
[23:45] <groundnuty> hey, anyway to get keycodes in a console? (no X)
[23:45] <SIFTU> groundnuty: key codes?
[23:46] <bkfitz> JokesOnYou77, not sure... whenever I've run ssh -X, i think it popped up a window... you do have gnome running on the remote machine yes
[23:46] <JokesOnYou77> bkfitz: yep, gnome
[23:46] <sarthor> apache2 -S
[23:46] <sarthor> apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[23:46] <sarthor>  How to fix this.
[23:46] <bkfitz> so what happens when you login ssh -X?  Nothing
[23:46] <jrib> sarthor: nothing is wrong.  It's just a side-effect of how debian configures apache
[23:47] <groundnuty> SIFTU: like... utf codes I guess... or events. My task is to get some extrakeys on my keyboard to do predefined stuff. And I'm trying to do in on the console levele atm - with no X.
[23:47] <bkfitz> try to gedit something remotely
[23:47] <bkfitz> thatll tell you if you have x
[23:48] <groundnuty> in X its easy, in consoel I've yet to find a way.
[23:48] <SIFTU> groundnuty: like UTF-8? or do you want to bind keys to certain things?
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> oohbantoo3: you can make a cheeky shortcut with:  sudo ln -s /usr/bin/leafpad /usr/bin/gedit     ;)
[23:48] <JokesOnYou77> bkfitz: I just get a command prompt for the remote machine, like I ran ssh without the -X option
[23:48] <groundnuty> SIFTU: exacly.
[23:48] <sarthor> jrib: what will be my virtualhost configuration ??
[23:48] <jrib> sarthor: what do you mean?
[23:48] <bkfitz> JokesOnYou77 - try to gedit something
[23:48] <JokesOnYou77> bkfitz: :O It worked!!
[23:48] <oohbantoo3> ActionParsnip, nice tip, will take a note on that ty
[23:48] <bkfitz> :0
[23:49] <Shinydan> My webcam works with cheese but doesn't work in Flash. Any suggestions?
[23:49] <excelsior> SIFTU: why do you suppose that the linux kernel support these cards?
[23:49] <excelsior> SIFTU: why do you suppose that the linux kernel DOESN'T support these cards?
[23:49] <sarthor> jrib: httpd -S not working.. also apache2 -S says that.. i want to find vhost file
[23:49] <JokesOnYou77> bkfitz: so I don't get a desktop? It just lets me use X client programs locally?
[23:50] <sarthor> jrib: for this change. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset
[23:50] <jrib> sarthor: use /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-available/* as appropriate
[23:51] <SIFTU> groundnuty: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO-5.html
[23:51] <SIFTU> excelsior: becuase I see posts all over the internet with people having problems with them
[23:51] <SIFTU> excelsior: one which I PM'ed you
[23:51] <excelsior> I was hoping to find an easier solution than compiling source code. Haven't done that successfully, ever.
[23:52] <Shinydan> hm. in epiphany, of all things, it works fine. Weird.
[23:52] <JokesOnYou77> wait, I get a desktop, I just have nautilus set not to render the desktop on my local machine lol
[23:52] <groundnuty> SIFTU: been there already - its more about X as I read it.
[23:52] <SIFTU> groundnuty: loadkeys?
[23:52] <Shinydan> it all works! thank you.
[23:53] <RP64> ActionParsnip:  Hey you there ! whatsup mann
[23:53] <groundnuty> SIFTU: well ok, but how do I find which key has what code :)
[23:53] <excelsior> SIFTU: I mispoke, I meant to ask why the linux kernal isn't supporting the cards.
[23:53] <mandrak_> mma
[23:54] <groundnuty> SIFTU: I also have some stuff that probably will work in X and wont in console, so running X and getting codes is not an option ;)
[23:54] <SIFTU> excelsior: becuase the manufacturer either hasnt given the source code to the kernel devs, or someone hasnt reverse engineered it and made a kernel module
[23:54] <Rocketlauncher> I have wifi and I want to do internet sharing to this imac g3 running debian .. i have a regular cat5 cable. I'm trying to share from my ubuntu pc but it says "device not managed" under wired connections in nm-applet and i dont know what i'm doing wrong
[23:55] <excelsior> but they're compiling some kind of source code. Can I do anything to get it included in the kernal?
[23:55] <bazhang> !ics > Rocketlauncher
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> RP64: nm man, workin hard
[23:55] <Rocketlauncher> Really this channel should stop using ubottu, that's the first page i looked at when i tried getting it to work
[23:56] <Rocketlauncher> sorry i'm stressed
[23:56] <RP64> ActionParsnip: nice good work bra
[23:56] <jclbrt> grrrr
[23:56] <JAM__> sup
[23:56] <jclbrt> wtf....  i followed these directions to the LETTER: http://www.server-servers.com/ubuntu-router-network-gateway/
[23:56] <Rocketlauncher> JAM__:
[23:57] <JAM__> KDE vs Gnome
[23:57] <Rocketlauncher> !pastebin JAM__
[23:57] <Rocketlauncher> !pastebin > JAM__
[23:57] <bazhang> JAM__, wrong place
[23:57] <jclbrt> and still cant get it to work... i was able to get an IP from the server
[23:57] <Rocketlauncher> JAM__: i think you should know that spamming is not tolerated here!
[23:57] <Rocketlauncher> !spam > JAM__
[23:57] <jclbrt> i am able to ping the server from the client and able to ping the client from the server
[23:57] <jclbrt> cant connect via SSH tho to the server
[23:57] <jclbrt> or anything else
[23:57] <jclbrt> cant even  get online
[23:58] <jclbrt> but i have a valid IP
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> jclbrt: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ?
[23:58] <jclbrt> didnt try that... it'll take me  a sec tho cuz i gotta disconnec thte internet
[23:58] <jclbrt> u think it's a DNS thing?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> jclbrt: possibly
[23:58] <jclbrt> i think it's a firewall config issue
[23:59] <jclbrt> cuz even tho i can ping the machine by IP it's still not letting me access the machine via IP
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> jclbrt: if you set your nameserver to 8.8.8.8 manually then try the web
[23:59] <Fudge> how can i fix this ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> jclbrt: ah, then you may need to set the route
[23:59] <jrib> Fudge: nothing to fix
[23:59] <Fudge> i cant ssh to the box though
[23:59] <jclbrt> ActionParsnip what's the correct way to do that... i've got webmin installed
