[01:43] <rethsa> ^^ brb
[02:11] <zkriesse_> Allo all :)
[02:54] <hilarie> This seems like the right place... Does anyone know of a FTP client with a web gui that I could use on a ubuntu headless server?
[02:54] <zkriesse_> Just trying to connect or?
[02:55] <hilarie> I would like to be able to connect to my seedbox from my ubuntu headless server and download complete files
[02:55] <zkriesse_> Ah...
[02:55] <zkriesse_> Well, fireftp in Firefox is nice
[02:55] <zkriesse_> It's an addon
[02:56] <zkriesse_> Seems that'd work for us
[02:56] <zkriesse_> "ya"
[02:57] <hilarie> from a headless server?
[02:57] <zkriesse_> It's a web addon... You said web GUI
[02:58] <zkriesse_> I can't think of anything else... Somewhat limited knowledge right now on server things
[02:58] <hilarie> hehe, I am still working on trying to install the server :)
[03:00] <zkriesse_> Ah good, so we're both behind... Now I don't feel so stupid ATM :P
[06:03] <garden92> how do you open a bin file?
[06:03] <hilarie> sh FINENAME.bin iirc
[06:04] <hilarie> or run FILENAME.bin
[06:04] <hilarie> or the GUI way is to right click it, go to permissions tab, make it executeable, then double click
[06:23] <philipballew> to make it excatuable chmod +x it
[06:28] <garden92> thanks
[07:41] <MVanDruff> so I gotta know is there a way to resize my Ubuntu partition
[10:06] <Pobbel> Hi all,  I have a broken 11.10 install.  Dual HDD, 64 bit laptop.  Windows on sda (preserved as is during install),  ubuntu on sdb along with grub. Selecting sda from boot options in BIOS, boots Windows as expected.  Selecting sdb to boot, boots grub okay.  Choosing Windows from grub menu works fine.  Choosing ubuntu from grub menu fails, leaving me at BusyBox with (initramfs) prompt.
[10:08] <Pobbel> I selected 32bit download for 64bit machine as it was recommended.  This should be okay shouldn't it?
[10:10] <Pobbel> Any ideas?
[10:18] <geirha> Yes. Would help to see an error message. There should be one just before you get dropped into busybox. If you don't see it, try typing "exit" in the busybox shell.
[10:25] <Pobbel> yep exit from busybox - kernel panic....  dont get much time to view log before shutdown,  will retry
[10:28] <Pobbel> PID: 1, comm: init Not tainted....    (shutdown, going again)  any idea how to view log from busybox?
[10:29] <Pobbel> or pause it?  pause function key does not help
[10:34] <geirha> Maybe Ctrl+S (Ctrl+Q to resume), but I'm not sure if that'll be read that early.
[10:44] <Pobbel> got some photos coming
[10:45] <geirha> trusty 'ol photons :)
 Error after boot prior to shutdown http://ircshare.com/i/H
 grub menu http://ircshare.com/i/I
[10:52] <geirha> Pobbel: Hm. I don't see any messages explaining why it's failing there. :/
[10:52] <geirha> Pobbel: In the grub menu, try one of the previous linux versions
[10:52] <geirha> See if any of those will boot.
 grub script for ubuntu boot http://ircshare.com/i/J
[10:55] <Pobbel> Previous linux versions are the same, and also fail.
[10:56] <Pobbel> Is there a log file that I might be able to dig up with the live CD?
[10:57] <Pobbel> or busybox?  or is it not getting far enough i.e linux kernel is not even loading?
[11:03] <Pobbel> Got a lot more info streaming up on the screen using recovery mode,  will send a pic....
 output when using recovery mode (last few lines anyway) >  http://ircshare.com/i/K
[11:10] <Pobbel> geirha: The last pic has some errors that may be shed some light on the issue :)
[11:10] <geirha> Aye, seems the filesystem on sdb1 may be corrupt.
[11:11] <geirha> I'd boot the Ubuntu CD and run  sudo fsck /dev/sdb1
[11:12] <Pobbel> Okay will do,  cheers
[11:24] <Pobbel> geirha:  Found lots of errors.  Just selection fix for all.  Why would I have so many errors after a fresh partition and install?
[11:25] <geirha> I don't know. I haven't encountered that myself.
[11:25] <geirha> Perhaps the hdd is failing or is defect
[11:26] <Pobbel> I recon I have press the "y" key over a hundred times and still going
[11:27] <Pobbel> I might run gparted and start again.  Thoughts?
[11:27] <geirha> That might be the easiest solution, yes.
[11:28] <Pobbel> Yeah might bite the bullet and do that.  Thanks for your help.
[11:33] <Pobbel> Is there a way to check the integrity of the Install CD?  I seem to remember an option in previous installers.
[11:41] <geirha> Pobbel: Yeah, it should still be there. You have to hit a button just as it starts booting (when there's a purple screen with only a keyboard+human icon)
[11:44] <Pobbel> Thanks
[11:45] <geirha> If you have a USB pen with >2GB free space, I find that to be less error prone.
[12:10] <andrew_46> RexHerudae: Bit quieter here than #ubuntu :)
[12:13] <RexHerudae> Hello, sorry I'm waking up mykids to go to school but I'll come back in a hour
[12:14]  * andrew_46 may be asleep by then ---> southern hemisphere rulz :)
[12:18] <nlsthzn_> South vs Norht hasn't got much todo with your time zone ;)
[12:18] <nlsthzn_> *north
[12:18] <andrew_46> nlsthzn_: I stand corrected :)
[12:19] <nlsthzn_> :p
[12:19] <nlsthzn_> andrew_46: which country are you? Aus?
[12:19] <andrew_46> nlsthzn_: yep, and you?
[12:19] <nlsthzn_> Oh, in the UAE at the moment :)
[13:25] <RexHerudae> Hello again
[13:29] <RexHerudae> I'm new with Linux and started with Ubuntu 11.10, I installed it in my PC (Core2Duo 2Ghz, 512Mb Ram DDR2, integrated video in Motherboard), I know the requirements for Unity are 1Gb Ram so I decided to download a Desktop environment more lightweight, so I Installed LXDE, it loads very fast, compared to the 3.5 min from login screen to open desktop in Unity, but it freezes every time
[13:29] <RexHerudae> I open a single program, I can't even navigate in Internet, it freezes, sometimes for a pair of minutes and the graph at bottom right is all green as if iyt were using 100% CPU, it happens with every program
[15:13] <RexHerudae> I'm thinking about uninstalling Ubuntu but I'll try to deplete the options, thanks for your support.

[15:15] <hobgoblin> are you already talking to someone RexHerudae ?
[15:15] <geirha> Tough problem. My first guess would be the graphics driver
[15:16] <hobgoblin> aah - guess you are :) - that would be first guess too - though from what the specs look like they should be more than enough for xfce or lxde
[15:16]  * hobgoblin further guesses at ati 
[15:21] <geirha> Ctrl+Alt+F1 -> log in -> run:  lspci | grep -i vga
