washuu_deI used firestarter for more than one year. Now I upgraded to maverick and firestarter does not work right anymore. It looks to me like there is a firewall over which I have no control now00:00
murfiedude.. there is no mail server with a web interface00:00
washuu_denot maverick! I meant natty00:00
Hilariemurfie squirrel mail00:01
gennL3d: it should be sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade00:01
murfieeither you're looking for a html mail client like squirrelmail, or you're looking for a mta and you should just use postfix00:01
Chucky1i forget other people do use root00:01
Chucky1postfix with squirrelmail00:02
Chucky1?00:02
L3dwith the install it says e: unable to loacte packages00:02

Chucky1oh im rusty damn00:03
L3dE: Unable to locate package updates00:03
brightsparksame for upgrade00:03
gennL3d: because you're trying to install the package called 'updates' with that command and there is no package by that name00:03
L3dso it gets and installs at the same time ?00:03
aminepour aler sur ubuntu fr00:04
murfieI vote we should bundle ubuntu with a package called 'updates'.. who's with me?00:04
murfieit should do something like the 'sl' command :)00:04
washuu_deI have a question. Say when you have time...00:05
L3dso whats the cmd to instaal the updates and stuf ??00:07
L3ddam i confused00:07
murfiejust click the update button00:07
L3dand this keyboard isnt helping00:07
brightsparkL3d, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade00:07
mongyL3d,  forget ssl, just use ssh locally.  sudo apt-get install ssh,  ssh youruser@localhost -D 1234  then in browser set proxy to SOCKS5  localhost 1234 (replace 1234 with whatever you like)00:07
murfiefirst of all, forget the sudo thing00:08
brightsparkL3d, update has apt check if new upgrades are available; upgrade installs the latest version of the package00:08
murfiedo sudo -s once and do passwd to set a root password00:08

brightsparkmurfie, this channel in particular, and most ubuntu support you will find is the same.  The accepted practice is to use sudo and gksudo as appropriate.00:11

murfiein fact, a root password must be strong, and a user password, oh well, tends to be less strong. and when that user is in the sudoers file, you have an immediate security breach, hence, don't be a fool and just use a root password and use it wisely00:15

meni2(rev 01) *02:51

meni2greyed02:53
meni2with red "!"02:53

ubuntu_n00bhow can i use a package manager to install?03:41
mrdebyou go to software center or u can use terminal which is easy03:42
ubuntu_n00bis there any way to install that package through the app center? (or whatever it's called in ubuntu)03:42

Arm0urubuntu_n00b: Open a terminal. sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb03:42

mrdebyou do sudo apt-get install03:42
poyntzalmoxarife: i'm using kubuntu oneriic03:43
poyntzoneiric03:43
Arm0urmrdeb: I guess ubuntu_n00b downloaded the package ?03:43
ubuntu_n00bnot yet, i haven't03:43
mrdebno he needs 64bit03:43
mrdebhe is just asking how to do it later03:43
ubuntu_n00bwhy do i need 64 bit?03:44
mrdebbec it is faster03:44
mrdebu dont need it, but everything works with it now03:44
ubuntu_n00bso if i download the package and then run the apt-get install command, will the package automatically install?03:45
mrdebno u dont need to dl packages03:45
mrdebu go into software center and find programs then install it. but u could dl the deb and install it also03:45
ubuntu_n00bi'd rather install this through the terminal03:46
ubuntu_n00bthe software center runs slowly03:46
mrdebok so terminal u do sudo apt-get install firefox03:46
mrdebsame thing03:46
poyntzmy internal audio keeps getting set to mute03:46

ubuntu_n00bdo i have to include the version?03:48
almoxarifepoyntz: I am not sure what the gui looks like for sound config on kubuntu, this much should hold true, seems like you got two pieces of sound 'hardware' one analog the other digital-hdmi, the analog should be simple, the hdmi has multiple options (profiles), one of those will provide you with sound via hdmi cable03:48

aeon-ltdnot always04:50
aeon-ltdthere will be a point where more ram would be useless (4gb for most people)04:50
aeon-ltdunused ram is wasted ram (other than 100mb spare to give room and time to write to disk)04:51

MahaVishnuaeon-ltd, huh?05:12
kionCanadian1296: yes05:12
pfifosidney, no its a shell script, you need to download it to view it05:12
flysnowchiuhi guys!  any ways to control the mem in conky when I use "lua"?05:13
kionCanadian1296: first download the .iso image05:13
MahaVishnupolardude1983, put  " around the file path " I think...05:13
aeon-ltdMahaVishnu: there will be a limit to what skilz's pc can do but really single core 2.4ghz can run most things easily - i'd say the only thing that would cripple it would be moderate flash use05:13
kionCanadian1296: after that i am pretty shure that rightclick will give you the option burn to disk05:13
sidneypfifo if i reinstall 10.04 you think it will update05:14
MahaVishnuaeon-ltd, uhm single core p4 can barely transcode 720p on the fly.05:14
aeon-ltdyeah it can05:14
pfifosidney, im sorry i have no idea what you mean05:14
sidneysystem nolonger updates05:14
polardude1983mahavishnu, I tried putting " " around the whole "/home/user/polly doggy" but didnt' work. just said no polly dir found05:14
MahaVishnunot to stream it, it can do a file like eventually. trust me I had a p4 for many years a good one with h/t they are not that fast compared to anything. but this is all offtopic so who cares.05:15
aeon-ltd1080 it would struggle, maybe get around 10-12 fps, but 720 with a preloaded buffer would be fine05:15
pfifosidney, do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'05:15
MahaVishnuaeon-ltd, nah tried it on ps3 media server to do 720p and it barely would stream it right ever.05:15
sidneypfifo,  dosent work05:15
aeon-ltdMahaVishnu: that's more likely a combo of processing and network bandwidth05:16
pfifosidney, can you pastebin the output of those commands05:16
MahaVishnuaeon-ltd, nah dude. gigabit ethernet even 100mb ethernet has way more bandwith than 720p requires dude...05:16

GhostWolfobviously you didn't cause i didn't mentioin the scrreensaver was my issue. i did mention the power/screen saver but didn't say that was the issue..05:31
polardude1983crazytrane, not exactly sure what you mean by that. sorry.05:32
crazytranepressing tab in a shell will auto complete the filename05:32
crazytraneso you don't have to type the whole thing05:32
mrdebwell i can help you but that is not clear05:32
GhostWolfdon't then, again its not about my screen saver, its about unbutu not loading period..05:33
crazytraneso "cd pol[TAB]" will/should auto complete05:33
webnetmrdeb the issue is drive failure. figured that out in pm05:33
mrdebwhat05:34
GhostWolffor anyone else who might be able to help, i also have link from imageshack i took of my monitor from the end of a recovery mode for ubuntu, if its too hard for you to help on main you can also pm me, here is the post, hi all, have an issue, webnet has been trying to help me but he suggested i ask on the main, i woke up earlier today and seemed my mouse and kb stopped working, cause i couldn't get my power saver back to my05:34
GhostWolfnormal screen, manually turned off the pc, turned it back on, it took a long time for ubuntu to load, so i rebooted agian manually, and this time selected the ubuntu recovery console, it seems im having a problem loading ubuntu, i have an image of what it says after the last part of the recovery mode05:34
Canadian1296Can anyone help me with disabling casper autologin on a livecd im making?05:35
polardude1983I have no idea why its being such a butt about this lol05:35
pfifoCanadian1296, set a password for the ubuntu user05:36
=== adante_ is now known as adante
crazytraneit's obviously something with the path, but your script is handling the space right05:36
polardude1983crazytrane, though when I take out the space in the actual folder and just do pollydoggy it works05:37
polardude1983crazytrane, but this is just a test directory, really want it to get working with spaces.05:37
Canadian1296pfifo: Tried that already. Even if i boot, set a password, then type "logout", i get logged back in automatically. I also tried changing the password in the config files before building, with no success05:38
pfifopolardude1983, you need to escape spaces with a backslash \ or enclose the filename inside of quotes ""05:38
polardude1983pfifo, tried that. still for some reason not working05:39
crazytranehe's escaping the space right, i recreated the directory here, and tested your script. works here. lol05:39
crazytranei know that doesn't help05:39
pfifoCanadian1296, hmm, im not sure then... It worked for me last time I needed to do it05:40
Canadian1296pfifo: Which one worked for you? passwd after booting from the livecd, or setting one before building the cd05:41
pfifoCanadian1296, setting one while building05:42
polardude1983i tried changing it to for file in ~/Videos/test/polly\ doggy/*.* but didnt work. hmm weird05:42
Canadian1296pfifo: Okay, ill try again just to see. Did you use mkpasswd and place the encrypted pass in the config file, or just use "passwd" while in the chroot? (I use debootstrap and the chroot into it.)05:43
D347Hhola05:43
pfifoCanadian1296, i use debootstrap and chroot in, create a user named ubuntu with the id of 999 and set a password using passwd ubuntu05:44

w30borari, check ownership of your home directory files and folders, especially .Xdefaults and .Xauthority06:01
w30borari, if it turns out to be root that owns these files it can be caused by using sudo for a GUI app. Use gksu for GUI apps instead.06:03
borariownership of my home folder says it is root. is that what I want or do I want it to be my username?06:04
elkyyou want it to be your username, borari06:04
w30borari, for example if your login user is borari, then borari should be owner and group06:05

Blue1tikitty: yes you are trying to connect to your local machine on port 3306 which off the top of my head no idea what that is used for06:19
sbtssasank: yep c and it's derivatives are a pain the the butt to write in, they are the right language for many tasks (linux kernel for example) but there are a large number of pitfalls for the unwary06:19

fizyplanktonmy first language was python. after learning TI-84 Basic, bash, java, and c++, i had never been happier to write a python program06:20
webnetjava is based on c++ sasank06:20
fizyplanktonsasank: from a syntax point of view, not all that much06:20
sbtssasank: it is spelled lazarus and is in the ubuntu repositories. it is actually an IDE (integrated development environment) for freepascal that allows you to also write gui apps.06:20

pfifosasank, python has SDL and opengl bindings, and is easy to learn and write06:22
sbtssasank: lazarus is essentially an open source project to duplicate the capabilities of Borland Delphi, the windows capable variant of turbopascal.  it allows rapid visual creation of user interfaces and easy linking of code to the userinterface.06:22
fizyplanktonsasank: if you mean like big direct-x-ey games, forget it. it will take years amd years to learn that much. i would reccommend python as a springboard to other proging languages06:22
fizyplanktonhttp://blog.aegisub.org/2008/12/if-programming-languages-were-religions.html very funny06:23
sbtssasank: if you want to program games, you may be better asking in #programming, then in some game specific channels.  codeing for games is a fairly different field from the rest of the universe06:23
sasankfirstly i want to take a simple game,lets take chess,how can i make a program06:24
pfifoPerl would be Voodoo lol06:24
shareI can't find the 'Virtual Basic GUI' package to track killer's IP address06:24
sbtssasank: there are a number of chess programs in the ubuntu repositories, why don't you download the source code for them, and look at the various languages that have been used.06:25
fizyplanktonsasank: because chess has array and for loop iterations out the wazoo, i would reccoment python. i tried to do that in c++ after only knowing c++ for a week. i ahvent touched ~/c++/chess.cpp in over 6 months. im scared06:25
sbtssasank: from that you should be able to see what you personal preference is for that type of game. for action games it may be better to use something else.06:26
sasankonce i had seen, but it becomes confusing to understand06:26
fizyplanktonpython is nicknamed "executable pseudo code"06:26

rectecmustu: off the top of my head, try the Flash-Aid FF addon10:13
Gentoo64mustu, are you coming straight from windows?10:14
musturectec: i did tried after reading from ubuntu forums :|10:14
rectecoh10:14
mustuGentoo64: nope10:14
Gentoo64maybe its the gpu drivers10:15
mustui have tried the 64bit from adobe.. and the 32bit with wrappers by the FF plugin10:15
Gentoo64well the 64 bit one is the one to use now10:15
Gentoo64as its properly supported10:15
mustuI tried usign the "Additional Drivers" for my nVidia... i also tried after removing the addition drivers10:15
mustuGentoo64: at first i used the flash plugin from restricted repo ..10:16
Gentoo64for the sake of it, have you tried a different browser like chromium?10:17
mbertensHi, i have a question; is it the general idea ubuntu-group to drop de ubuntu classic gui interface ?, i don't like the unity interface, when  installed the 11.04 i could get it back to the classic interface but now when i installed 11.10 it was a big mess and it did not work correctly :-(10:17
mustuGentoo64: yes10:18
Gentoo64mustu, im not too sure :s10:18
mustuI havent tried the 64bit option by that FF plugin.. however i have manually installed the 64bit from adobe website10:18
mustui m tryign the 64bt by the FF plugin10:18
Gentoo64ok10:18
oCean!nounity | mbertens10:19
ubottumbertens: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic10:19
mbertensoCean: thanks10:20
mbertensi will install it first now in virtual box and see if i can get it to work correctly10:21

oCeanmbertens: an actual downgrade is not possible/supported. You would have to reinstall10:23
mbertensoCean: yeah i did :-(10:24
Gentoo64mbertens, if you can, use clonezilla first10:24

Grommetno the port isn't open10:28
Grommetthat I can tell anyway10:29

dragomirgood morning everyone. I have ubuntu 10.04 and I copied some files using the gui from an external hard drive to home/desktop using sudo nautilus. the folder shows up in sudo nautilus but not on my regular desktop. very strange. can someone please help me?11:48
dr_willisdragomir:  if you used sudo, then the files are most likely owned by root. check your Desktop file via cli. and see if they are there.11:48
dragomiryes, they are there dr_willis11:49
dr_willisdragomir:  if you want your user to access them. You need to chown them to be owned by your user.11:49
dragomirall I wanted to accomplish was to copy these files to my desktop from this external hard drive, wipe and reformat the drive to hsf using gparted, then put the files back on the external hard drive.11:49
dr_willisdragomir:  what filesystem is on the external disK?11:49
dragomirfat3211:50
ActionParsnipoh jeez11:50
dragomirmac - lion wasnt seeing the disk11:50
dr_willisif you mounted it with the right options, you wouldent need to use 'sudo nautlils' to access them.11:50
ActionParsnipdragomir: do yu have files larger than 4Gb?11:50
dr_willisNo idea on mac's :)11:50
dragomiryes, the folder is 60GB total11:50
dr_willisdragomir:  any single file bigger then 4gb?11:51
ActionParsnipdragomir: the folder is moot, do you have any FILES larger than 4Gb was the question...11:51
dragomirdr_willis, i dont think so.11:51
dr_willisif the disk is fat32 ;) i dont think he could.11:51
dragomirActionParsnip, checking now11:51
dragomirdr_willis, your right11:51
dragomirI dont think so11:51
ActionParsnipdragomir: FAT32 has a maximum file size of 4Gb11:51
dr_willisso ive missed the whole problem now.. :) the files are there...11:51
dragomirActionParsnip, yes you are right11:51
dr_willisowned by root...11:51
GirlyGirlYou can always back a block file with dd and mount it then copy and paste files11:52
ActionParsnipdragomir: you will need to set the access when you mount the partition to give access to all, or you can make it dead easy and run:  gksudo nautilus       and copy the files over11:52
dragomirdr_willis, so how would you suggest I copy them over to my computer? when I copied and pasted after mounting, it said i didnt have permission11:52

dr_willisdragomir:  they are owned by root.. so you ned to use root to either chown them to be owned by your user. or mount the filesystem where users can access it so you dont need to do 'sudo nautiuls' any more11:53

ActionParsnipdragomir: gksudo nautilus    will run the file manager as root, and give you the access you need, you will need to repeat when you are restoring the data then chown the files to your user11:54
ActionParsnipbullgard4: man gvfs-cdda     should tell you11:54
dr_willis'gksudo nautilus' is the sort of thing, you really shouldent be doing.. unless you understand the implications. :)11:54

dr_willisGDM2 was decently themeable. gdm3 - not as much.. now ubuntu is defaulting to lightdm.13:02
dr_willisno idea how themeable lightdm is at this time.13:03
dr_willisI just chagne its wallpaper.13:03
HQRajaI see13:03
HQRajaThanks for the info...I'll try looking up info on theming lightdm now :)13:03
dr_willistheres other login managers that have more features.13:03

ubottuslim (source: slim): desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-8ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 755 kB, installed size 1424 kB13:03
Kyle6513I think the problem with that would be dr_willis is that the specific theme package that HQRaja wants, wouldn't be supported by those managers.13:04
dr_willisif hw just wants the layout. not the acutal wallpaper/images..  he could find somthing similer i imagine.13:04
HQRajaYeah I just want that (or a similar) layout...not necessarily the exact same theme (in fact I wouldn't want it saying ubuntu studio)13:05
HQRajaJust that sort of a slick, across-the-screen horizontal interface, with a wallpaper of my choice13:05

ldurosActionParsnip: add what in the quote? I need to write acpi=noapic -- this should be inside of: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ?14:21
pppurpledr_willis, hmmm, yeah bad internet over here. ill keep trying. thanks14:21
ActionParsniprhinos: you should also add:   127.0.0.1server1     to /etc/hosts14:21
lduros"quiet splash acpi=noapic"?14:22
ActionParsniplduros: yes, change it to:   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=noapic"14:22
ldurosActionParsnip: ok will give it a shot :-)14:22
mecoActionParsnip: But should there be any qialitative difference between mounting at boot or doing it manually later?14:22
ActionParsniplduros: save the new file and run:  sudo update-grub    you will need:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub     to get write access14:22
ldurosActionParsnip: yeh I did sudo emacs :-P14:23
ActionParsnipmeco: you can specify different mount options using fstab, otherwise its the same14:23
ActionParsniplduros: same difference :)14:23
=== hc96` is now known as hc96
ldurosActionParsnip: people were saying to use acpi=off, acpi=noapic or acpi=nolapic -- do you know the difference?14:24
ldurosnot sure acpi=off works or not14:24
ldurosheeh14:24
horatio_cromwellanyone know if realistically ubuntu desktop would run with 750mb (within Virtual Machine - VBox)14:24
pfifohoratio_cromwell, yes14:25
mecoActionParsnip: I'm mounting with this command: 'sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows'14:25
ldurosor maybe that's acpi=off noapic14:25
horatio_cromwellalso is it easy to get multiple monitor support working  in Ubuntu (aparently Vbox supportd it)14:26
ActionParsnipmeco: then using the defauts will be fine, or you can even add the command in /etc/rc.local14:26
rhinosActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/765914/14:26
mecoActionParsnip: Well, but how do I address the problems I'm experiencing with being denied access?14:26
ActionParsniprhinos: yes, we need the product line14:26
ActionParsnipmeco: the command runs as root, so access isn't a problem14:27
dr_willishoratio_cromwell: multi monitors IN ubuntu running in vbox? huh?14:27
dr_willishoratio_cromwell:  You might  need to give more details..14:27
mecoActionParsnip: As I said in my initial call for help, I'm having a problem with accessing the data on the NTFS partition when I have mounted it.14:28
dr_willisbbl14:28
ActionParsnipmeco: then add it in /etc/fstab and add options to allow users write and read access14:28
mecoActionParsnip: when I look at the folders in question in mc they have full permissions14:29
ActionParsnipmeco: so where is the problem?14:30
rhinosActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/765914/  soz man, takes a while to type it in14:30
horatio_cromwelldr_willis: I want to run run Ubunt as a guest within a windows host (with 2 monitors connected).  but would like the Guest (Ubuntu) to be able to access both monitors14:30
rhinosis there a way to copy from the server to something like this.. when its working?14:31
Alex79ciao14:31
pfifohoratio_cromwell, vbox supports having mutiple virtual monitors, ubuntu comes with the drivers to support that functionality too14:33
gadakCan any one guide me in how to change CHECKSUM of a reciepi .bb file14:35
Stanley00gadak: what is a .bb file?14:37
dusf_!ati14:38
ubottuFor Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto14:38
mecoActionParsnip: I don't know where the problem is. I only know what the symptom is. I'm asking here to find out what the problem is.14:38
ActionParsniprhinos: there is no product line listed there, all you need to do is search for the product line in the output to find guides14:39
gadakstanley: binutils-cross_2.18.bb14:39
ActionParsnipmeco: I'd add the line in /etc/fstab with good options and you won't have an issue14:39
gadakstanley..im build a filesystem,, in which it downloads this binuitls but i get a error saying md5 checksum is different from what required14:40
Stanley00gadak: oh, so it a binary file, I think you have to redownload the file,14:40
mecoActionParsnip:You mean the line 'sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows'? And with what added options?14:40
Stanley00gadak: since it say md5sum error, it mean there are some errors in the file14:41
ActionParsnipmeco: no, its similar but not the same14:41
gadakstanley...i downloaded it twice thrice but all the time i get the same error14:41
mecoActionParsnip:then what?14:41
ActionParsnipmeco: then when you have added it, reboot and it will mount as you say14:42
pfifogadak, what are you doing with binutils?14:42
gadaki am building a file system for an embedded device14:42
gadakcan you tell me what does this thing mean14:43
gadakt sometimes happens if the tar'd file changes upstream but the recipe14:43
gadakchecksums aren't updated yet.14:43
gadakThe recipe you are looking for is recipes/gnu-config/gnu-config_git.bb14:43
gadakFirst thing I'd try is removing the downloaded source and checksum files14:43
FloodBot1gadak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.14:43
gadakin ${OVEROTOP}/sources.14:43
gadakThen bitbake gnu-config again. This will re-download.14:43
mecoActionParsnip: I mean, what should the line look like as opposed to the line I've been using14:43
Stanley00gadak: make sure download the right version, and btw, how this you download this file, and which prog say about md5 error?14:43
gadakin terminal14:43
ActionParsnipmeco: there are plenty of examples online, I suggest you use the UUID of the partition14:44
ActionParsnipmeco: you can see that with:   sudo blkid14:44
rhinosActionParsnip: mmmh, not really sure how that helps, going to stick a wireless card in. not sure why i get *-network DISABLED could be why nothing works14:44

qwebirc495354Hi14:49
pfifopppurple, that page is starting from a blank pendrive, so no, you dont need to download anything14:50
qwebirc495354Does anyone know some simple FTP server which you can just start from the command line, like the Python HTTP server?14:50
E3D3rumpe1: No it is only for my own local/intern files. Thanks14:51
ActionParsnipqwebirc495354: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html14:51
pppurplepfifo, how do i get the pen drive to run that program then? i guess im not understanding what will run the code...14:51
ActionParsnipqwebirc495354: if you want access over the web, I suggest you use SFTP which will be automatically enabled with openssh-server14:51
pfifopppurple, the BIOS will run grub14:52
qwebirc495354@ActionParsnip: yeah... but that wasn't what I was looking for14:52

E3D3pppurple: I like MultiSystem for Multiboot USB-sticks, works great: http://liveusb.info/dotclear/14:53
rumpe1E3D3, if you are behind a router/NAT you should be fine14:53
pppurpleE3D3, ok thanks ill look at that as well14:53
E3D3rumpe1: I'm such a noob that I don't know what that mean. I have public WLAN14:53
pfifopppurple, your putting the 2 isos, gurb's config files, and then putting grub into the MBR14:53
mecoActionParsnip:could I add a line to /etc/fstab that looked like this: '/dev/sda2: UUID=E6B08D1CB08CF479 ntfs'14:54
pppurplepfifo, hmm thats a little more advanced then what i know how to do right now. ill try E3D3's link http://liveusb.info/dotclear/14:54
|Long|hi guys, what is the cmd to list a drive directory? cat /dev/sdj1 <--didnt now show me anything14:54
rumpe1E3D3, oh. What kind of server/client should you use? ssh/sshfs?14:54
E3D3pppurple: Easy install and easy use. I have a usb-hd (180 GB) with 200 distro's on it14:55
ActionParsnipmeco: you need to specify the mount point, and then the options too, as I said there are loads of examples online14:55
pppurpleE3D3, ok ill look at it and ask if i have any questions. thanks14:55
rumpe1E3D3, as long as it's not ftp but encrypted and you choose a complex enough password, it should also be no big risk.14:55
pfifo|Long|, first you need to mount the drive14:55
|Long|pfifo, i have so many drives, i dont know which one is NOT mounted14:56
E3D3rumpe1: I don't know about ssh etc, they call it emacs.client and then I should install a server. Even with Googling all those terms I didn't understand. I have no WLAN password, its open.14:56
|Long|is there a way to mount automaticly?14:56
pppurplewhat does actually mounting a drive do?14:57
pfifo|Long|, the 'mount' command will list what drives are mounted and where they are mounted to14:57
pfifo!fstab | |Long|14:57
ubottu|Long|: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions14:57
E3D3rumpe1: For a little paranoid noob like me does it sounds to complex to trust blindly. Thank you for trying to explain.14:57
|Long|yes, i missing one drive is not shows on mount cmd14:57
rumpe1E3D3, can you describe the scenario more in detail?14:57
qwebirc495354ActionParsnip: well, thanks. I'll look into vsftpd again. I think I'll try to find a way to install the latest rktftpd, which seems more like what I wanted. It just seems more of a hassle to install.14:57
E3D3rumpe1: Sure14:58
rumpe1E3D3, but as I said: as long as it isn't ftp, you should be safe.14:58
ActionParsnipqwebirc495354: vsftp will run as a service and you can start and stop it like any other...14:58
ActionParsnipqwebirc495354: what is so special about rktftpd?14:59
E3D3rumpe1: I have Emacs editor installed. When I want to open a file outside Emacs it opens in a new Emacs instance. #emacs told me to use the (already installed client) and than give some server-commands to let them talk together. They used words that I had to Google for and gave me more scary internet-related info.15:00
rumpe1E3D3, hmm.. I don't use emacs myself. Maybe it's a good idea to ask the (515) people in #emacs15:01
qwebirc495354ActionParsnip: I wanted one that you start in a given folder, and which you kill by C-c'ing it. Like Python's httpd lib15:02
pfifoqwebirc495354, i think apache's ftpserver can do that15:03
E3D3rumpe1: Thanks15:03
ajf_is there any way to run autogen/autotools in a launchpad ppa recipe? I have everything including the debian/ packaging info in the repository, is the only way to get it to build to merge it with a seperate -build repo I need to sync every time I change the configure.ac?15:04
ajf_it works locally, but launchpad doesn't let me use the 'run' command in the bzr-builder recipe15:04
pppurpleE3D3, is that multi usb boot program in english???15:05
ActionParsnipqwebirc495354: you configure ftp programs to start in a particular folder, or you can jail users to $HOME15:06

AlexShirojiWell, its not that I want to mute it. Problem is that the headphone jack broke off inside the port. I want to disable the port so The speakers turn on15:54
BluesKajAlexShiroji, yeah as Tech-1 says mute it in alsamixer , there should be a headphone ctrl , use the M ket to mute15:54
BluesKajkey15:54
Tech-1then if its broke, you prolly cant, being the jack has both spkr and headphone contacts on it15:55
AlexShirojiah :(15:55
AlexShirojiThanks then :(15:55
Tech-1youll have to physically break it down and rplace the jack15:55
mparodiHey there!15:55
mparodihttp://paste.kde.org/157418 It works if I execute the first two lines but no if I try to do it automatically using /etc/network/interfaces and reboot the system. what's the difference?15:55
E3D3pppurple: Sorry, I missed your question. You have Ubuntu installed ?15:56
pfifomparodi, network-manager might be interfering15:57
ActionParsnipthe interfaces file should override the GUI app15:58
Tech-1AlexShiroji:   turn the volume all the way down, so you dont short the onboard audio amp15:58
mparodipfifo, how to know if it's the case?15:58
pfifomparodi, try disabling network-manager15:59
ActionParsnipmparodi: could add your 2 lines of command in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line16:00
BluesKajmparodi, with the way you have the interfaces file setup , it doesn't need NM16:00
mparodiI don't have network-manager installed, by the way16:01
mparodiand ok, I don't need NM but it can't be the problem :|16:01
mparodiit's something else, somehow they're doing different things16:02
ActionParsnipmparodi: makes the system faster if it's not installed :)16:02
mparodithat's weird because ifconfig eth0 says the IP of the other computer is 192.168.2.2 but I can't ping it from this computer16:03
meerkatswhat do I have to do to find, in the terminal, a command by its first letters?16:03
mparodiinet addr:192.168.2.2 Bcast:192.168.255 Mask:255.255.255.016:03
mparodithat's ifconfig eth0 in the other computer16:04

pfifomparodi, wait, i think your file is setup wrong, try this instead http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/16:05
robolobster54I sshfs mounted a drive but i have no permission to access it on the local machine16:06
mparodiok, let me see!16:06
robolobster54What could be wrong?16:06
ActionParsnipmeerkats: find . -name "fire*"16:06
meerkatsok xangua, i made the wrong question: I mean only for the commands I have manually entered, so I dont have to up key, up key, up key... till I find it16:06
ActionParsniprobolobster54: did you give the right username and password16:06
robolobster54yes16:06
BluesKajpfifo, he's using a static IP16:07
pfifoBluesKaj, yeah, the first secion of that document describe proper syntax for static interface16:07
mparodipfifo, it's the same, isn't it?16:09
mkjackson_mobilehey folks, so I just moved my tmp directory to ram using "tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777 0 0" in my fstab... does this mean that it will use as much as it needs or is there a limit I'm not thinking of?16:10

pppurpleE3D3, yeah i am running 11.10 now16:11
BluesKajmparodi, open or create with permissions a /etc/hosts.allow file and the IPs of the pcs on your lan under , portmap ALL:192.168.X.XX16:11
pfifomparodi, comment out lines 4 and 616:11

robolobster54ActionParnsip I sshfs'd in as root, does that answer the question?16:12
ActionParsniprobolobster54: why sshfs as root?16:13
ActionParsniprobolobster54: do you need access to files outside $HOME ?16:13
robolobster54ActionParnsip, no other user will work when sshfs'ing other than root16:14
robolobster54I do not need access to files outside $HOME16:14
ActionParsniprobolobster54: it will, just tell it to mount  the remote /home/user   folder and it will work16:15
robolobster54I think I've tried that, will try again16:15
pfifomparodi, are you sure networking is starting at boot time?16:15
robolobster54ActionParnsip by the way, I am sshfs'ing in with public key authentication, if it makes any difference16:15
hobbelntfsfix: Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.  <-- chkdsk Volume is fine16:16
robolobster54ActionParnsip, indeed it doesn't work logging in the sshfs unless I use root16:17
mparodipfifo, I don't know. I just noticed it stopped working with the first two lines I pasted so I trying to fix that first :S16:17
robolobster54Log says: Permission denied, public key16:17
pfifomparodi, can you ping yourself with ping 192.168.2.216:19
E3D3pppurple: Did you opened the install-page (link left) ? Use the 1st block commands: Method 1-Bis. (Not the code for # Debian users) Copy the commands lines (those starting without ##) one by one in a terminal & enter16:20
mparodioh, never mind! it's working now. the problem is that when I reboot the other computer I need to execute "ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" here again :)16:20
pfifo!yay | mparodi16:21

RaviorAny Ubuntu 12.04 alpha 1 users?16:22
oCeanRavior: #ubuntu+1 channel for that16:22
BluesKajmparodi, for what it's worth here's my interfaces file, http://paste.ubuntu.com/766028/ ..quite simple and it's all you really need16:23
Raviorthx16:23
wkActionParsnip: I ran the patches on the 11.04 kernel and it worked.16:23
E3D3pppurple: Or click on the link left in the installation-web-page and translate it. There you see a recommend method that use a download + shellscript.16:23
ActionParsnipwk: wtg :)16:23
wkActionParsnip: Keyboard backlight now 70%-ish functional, I just can't figure out how to adjust it yet, but atleast it works! :)16:23
mparodiby the way, I don't have internet on the other computer since it's only connected to this one but can I configure something to have internet? I would like to install a couple of things using my repos16:24
=== pingsut is now known as sistem
=== shubbar_ is now known as shubbar
ActionParsnipwk: you'll need to redo it each time a new kernel is installed, you could pin the kernel version using apt-pinning but you may miss out on other stuff16:24
pfifomparodi, google for iptables masquerading howto16:24
mparodialright! thank you all :)16:25
=== sistem is now known as pingsut
wkActionParsnip: Yeaah I got that.. Problem is that I never liked updating the kernel, always gave me GRUB and other bootup problems.16:25
BluesKajmparodi, how is the other pc connected to "this one" ?16:25
mparodia network cable using eth0 in both computers, that's all16:25
wkActionParsnip: So I'll stick on the current kernel unless something drastically changes.16:25
ActionParsnipwk: then pin away :)16:25
wkActionParsnip: One more thing.. How do I downgrade GNOME 3.2 to the default version in 11.04? (could just google it)16:26
sembaHey, i m new to linux and I'd like to connect a 2nd screen to my laptop but when I simply plug it in as I used to do on windows nothing happens. Do you know how to do it?16:28
BluesKajmparodi, so you have 2 nics on the internet connected pc , then thru a router/modem to the internet?16:28
wksemba: Try pressing WINDOWS KEY + P at the same time16:28
mparodiyes, PC1 --> PC2 --> router, that's the idea16:28
sam22hail !!! people of this chanel16:28
E3D3pppurple: I prefer: Method 1-Bis. Just copy those 4 command-lines one by one in terminal, plug in an USB & install as many distro's as fit ;-)16:28
E3D3Some are not supported, see their list although it supports more than on the list.16:28
pppurpleE3D3, yeah i think i am getting the shell as well. the translation kinda didnt translate well and im still a bit new16:28
BluesKajmparodi, but whynot connect the other pc into the router as well?16:29
E3D3pppurple: You don't need the translation, French commands are the same ;-)16:29
pppurpleE3D3, i checked that list and it donst have mint or arch but i can def run different versions of ubuntu16:30
mparodibecause it doesn't have a wifi card and I'm about at 10m of the router (no, I don't have a 10m network cable and it's saturday to buy one!), BluesKaj16:30
pfifole'grub-install16:30
pppurpleE3D3, i understand the comands i just dont understand all the instructions haha16:30
ActionParsnipwk: you can log into gnome classic in Natty,it's not an option in Oneiric and later and Gnome2 is no longer developed upstream16:30
sembawk: the bar in the left part of my screen shows up with numbers, but my other screen keeps saying no signal16:30
mparodiactually I have a 10m network cable but I just noticed it's broken (I never use it) :|16:30
E3D3pppurple: It works in new Ubuntu (if I'm not wrong) & also in Mint 12, for me not in Mint 11 & 10.16:30
ActionParsnipwk: if you like the gnome 2 look, I suggest you install xfce4 and use that16:31
sembawk oh and i m using gnome16:31
E3D3pppurple: The first command add a repository:16:31
E3D3sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main'16:31
pppurpleE3D3, i just have 11.10 Ub installed and i want to save those other distros to the USB and boot off it16:31
ActionParsnipE3D3: if you do it that way, you will need to manually import the GPG key16:32
BluesKajmparodi, is it possible to move the router closer , if you're on dsl , then you just need a phone line16:32
E3D3pppurple: Do you want a copy of what you have on harddisk or new/fresh distro's on the usb16:32
E3D3wget -q http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -16:32
E3D3This add the public key16:32
shankysv87i'm having issues with my wireless connection.16:32

HQRajaGuys, is there a way to do sudo apt-get update from the GUI in Software Center after adding a new repository, without having to go to the command line?16:40
pfifomeadhikari, it might be because cron runs without the usual enviroment variables that your user runs as16:40
meadhikaripfifo, i gave the input file16:41
HQRajaI mean, when we can add a repository through the GUI, we should be able to update too, right?16:41
meadhikaripfifo, what other environment is required?16:41
pfifomeadhikari, cron dosent have a $HOME set, so ~ wont work16:41
Dj_FlyByI am having some issues with Ubuntu 10.04 freezing during bootup now that I activated a restricted driver for my ATI Radeon HD3450. Any suggestions to fix this please?16:41

meadhikaripfifo, /home/username/.ssh is also not working :(16:42

HQRajaOh OK16:43
meadhikaripfifo, what you mean by that?16:44

meadhikaripfifo, and now how to prevent that16:45

Canadian1296Okay, would deleting it have any adverse effects (if something calls it but it's not there)?17:10
pfifoCanadian1296, not sure, keep a backup just in case17:11
Canadian1296well im working in virtualbox and i have several snapshots, so ill try it and see what happens17:11
pfifoCanadian1296, it looks like it simply calls all scripts in that directory17:11
MeirDthis time in one line: I need to output all process (using ps aux) that uses more than 0.1 of MEM. I thought about a way to do it easily with awk. but my assignment says I have to do it with ps aux|grep -E "^REGEX" only. any hints?17:11
Canadian1296okay, so i'll delete 15autologin, and build.17:12
Canadian1296pfifo, before building i was just looking at the rest of the scripts in casper-bottom17:13

Canadian1296okay, ill try it. thanks for your help17:15

HQRajasoltani: I believe it can be done...just install Windows 7 on another partition. You will then have to boot into Ubuntu using a Live CD and find a way to install only the bootloader without installing Ubuntu again17:44
L3doCean, linux header now are at 13.0.0.-14 ??17:45
pfifoCanadian1296, cool, ill have tro take note of the method for next time17:45

HQRajaI haven't done that but that's how it should work in theory. I've myself installed Windows 7 first, and then let Ubuntu installation take care of the bootloader management the way it does17:45

Once you have installed Windows 7, you won't be able to boot into Ubuntu but just use the Ubuntu Live CD or USB to boot, and then install only grub (I don't know how to do that though i.e. install only grub)17:47

webnetNeil, No prob hope you find what you need :)18:05
MeQuerSatfor example: the efficiency for a 1000 watt maybe be a great deal lower @ 100 watt than for a 500 watt psu18:05

ImTheDudewhat does that mean18:05
L3dits difficult finding a 0.09a fan these days ..18:05

pfifoScramTech, if there isnt any data on the drives you can setup a softraid, but beware, you cant access the softraid from windows18:50
TebyghenyaI don't know how to do that18:50

Jordan_UScramTech: Unless you need to dual boot with Windows I would recommend just using plain Software RAID rather than bothering with FakeRAID. It will likely even be faster.18:51

Jordan_UScramTech: For setting up Software RAID during install you'll need to use the alternate install CD.18:51
ScramTechthanks for the help gang... I'll dump the controller and move everything to mobo and give it a shot18:52

saltyohhhhh ok, thnx BluesKaj19:48
urlin2umaujhsn, hard to answer that, the casper will get full and is not cleanable, your better with a full install on the usb if you just want to boot from it for ubuntu.19:48

MisterMomCataclysm, i have the same problem but yet to find a answer19:49
BluesKajCataclysm, did you setup the device preference in phonon and then in pulseaudio in the audio hardware setup19:49
w30Cataclysm, sorry inside joke. Mel Tillis is a country & western singer that stutters except when singing19:49
urlin2umaujhsn, sure depends on your needs the usb will run a little slower in all though.19:50

maujhsnurlin2u I do not want to install ubuntu on my laptop!19:50

maujhsnsalty Thanks for the info!19:53
saltynp19:53
BluesKajCataclysm, did you run the install,  sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic19:53
urlin2umaujhsn, main advantage with a full install is being able to clean it, so you have enough romm, the casper-rw is not cleanable and you are running the ISO not a install.19:53
HQRajaHow do I set Empathy to organize my contacts by online/offline only, hiding all groups (without deleting the groups)?19:53
MisterMomBluesKaj,  i think it has somthing to do with the new kernel19:54

theadminhobbel: Err, let me see... "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdx50 /mnt" or something like this, correct?19:56
hobbeltheadmin just default mount, but force mount on rw doesnt work either. nfsfix tells me volume is corrupt and CHKDISK should be run. CHKDISK thinks its alright19:57
urlin2umaujhsn, no problem just use the other option and make sure the ubuntu's grub goes to the mbr of the usb, you have a recovery or install for the windows I assume if you need to reload its boot to the mbr.19:57
theadminhobbel: You're using ntfs-3g as fstype, not "ntfs", right?19:57
theadminhobbel: Because the "ntfs" driver has no rw support >.<19:57
hobbeltheadmin yes, and it tells me warning: its read only19:57
theadminhobbel: Hm, that's weird19:57
sanjaybhobbel, chkdisk /f , have you tried?19:58
urlin2upfifo, sure but you loose all the updates etc.19:58
hobbelsanjayb in windows you mean?19:58
sanjaybhobbel: yes.19:58
hobbelsanjayb chkdisk doesnt work in linux right?19:58
hobbelsanjayb it tells me the drive is fine19:58
sanjaybhobbel: no, in windows - you said you tried chkdisk, so i assume you had some way to access it on windows19:58
sanjaybhobbel: hmm .. and you mount and unmount (shutdown) cleanly in windows, and it still wont mount rw in ubuntu?19:58
hobbelsanjayb yes, thats the weird part. It should function19:59
sanjaybhobbel: what version of ubuntu ?19:59
hobbelsanjayb Gparted tells me it cant fix it, but its not clean. Ubuntu 11.1019:59
urlin2upfifo, If I was going to use a casper I would make it a parttion and big enough myself19:59

maujhsnsalty is clonezilla an ubuntu package?20:02
hobbelsanjayb yes it was, thats what started the problem actually. The drive has been in lots of computers so i do suspect its the drive20:02
hobbelsanjayb but i would think a full repartition would fix that right?20:02
saltyi don't think so20:03
urlin2umaujhsn, here is a link for yah.  http://clonezilla.org/20:03

theadminhobbel: As for "full repartition": sudo fdisk /dev/sdx <<< "o" # Erases all partitions on a drive, creates an empty MBR partition table.20:03

With a clean installation of 11.10 my displays aren't recognised, and I don't know how to stop the X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. do nothing). With the "nvidia-current" package, the x server doesn't start on boot, and if I "start lightdm" or "startx" myself (from the Ctr-Alt-F1 terminal) it behaves strangely. I have a P8P67 mobo, i7 2600K, GTX 570, two displays.20:28

Sidewinder1Bodsda, Totally as an aside, I never cared for Evolution; tossed it when I installed Gutsy; went strait to T-bird, guess I shoulda' kept me mouth shut.. :-)21:03
SilverFoxSo, I've installed Oneiric on my MBP 5,3 and I've noticed a couple of 'issues'.  Is it good/beneficial for me to file bugs for these (external monitor not working, magicmouse not working) ?21:03
BodsdaSidewinder1: I don't use mail clients, I telnet to the server - lol :) - I dislike evolution as well, thunderbird has a much nicer feel imho21:03
BodsdaSilverFox: if your monitor and your mouse don't work... how are you gonna file these bugs?21:04
SilverFoxI don't see oneiric specific bugs on these issues on launchpad, but on the macbook wiki it says the external display worked fine in Lucid according to the mactel wiki.21:05
Mr_EE1pfifo: i am busy trying to look for songs which meets the size ok. now 1 song is transferring to you21:05
SilverFoxBodsda: my main monitor and touchpad work fine (its a laptop)21:05
Sidewinder1Bodsda, Telnet! You must be older than I.. I remember when kermit was the preferred protocol.21:05
marcelahola21:05
BodsdaSilverFox: :) I would have thought they would iron these out, but #ubuntu+1 might be able to advise further21:05
Mr_EE1pfifo: got them?21:05
windSilverFox: if you have ati or nvidia graphics, it could be either using or not using the proprietary drivers makes difference in that external display thing21:05
kermitSidewinder1: me too :(21:05
urlin2uSilverFox, if you file a bug report you will find out f it is a actual bug generally. Have you looked on the web for others having the same problem, or itemized the problems here for help.21:06
windSilverFox: I noticed 11.10 has proprietary drivers on by default while older ubuntu distros did not21:06
BodsdaSidewinder1: I doubt it, I get disciplineries at work for making my manager feel old when I tell him my first phone had more processing power than his first computer21:06
Sidewinder1kermit, Big surprise, there! ;-)21:06
Sidewinder1Bodsda, :D21:06
SilverFoxwind: nvidia, but I've tried switching through the available 'additional drivers'21:07
SilverFoxurlin2u: I have looked, but haven't found anything suggesting that others have trouble with this, nor is there any similar bugs on launchpad.21:07
_cbIf there was a way to import the evolution tar files into tbird I would have kept T-bird but if I have to install evolution to migrate to t-bird then I may as well stay in ev untll my next upgrade21:07
windSilverFox: btw, it might be useful to try nvidia-settings, and try enable the external monitor with that21:07
Sidewinder1Bodsda, My first wireless was a "bag-phone." Ot, I know,,..21:08
SilverFox#ubuntu+1 says penguin support, and oneiric support is in #ubuntu in their topic.21:08
windSilverFox: since you're using the proprietary (additional) driver21:08
SilverFoxwind: haven't tried that.  I'll take a look.21:08
windSilverFox: there might still be a bug but that might work around it21:08
pfifoMr_EE1, the dcc's dont seem to be working21:08

Sidewinder1Don't wanna' get yelled at..21:08
SilverFoxwind: this MBP has TWO graphics cards, and doesn't have a BIOS, so only one of them shows up in lspci.  I wonder if this is an EFI issue.21:08
_cbBodsda yes but I have to install evolution, import the tar files into evolution and then migrate to t-bird.21:09
BodsdaSilverFox: EFI protects the boot loader from loading unsigned code, if you get to the OS, I wouldnt think its an EFI issue21:09
Mr_EE1pfifo: did you get another one?21:09
SilverFoxwind, I'm not at the office, so i can't check out the display atm, but in the nvidia control panel, it seems to 'remember' my external monitor.  This looks promising.21:10
Bodsda_cb: yeah, 5 minute job to do the install & import21:10
_cbThis unity UI is going to take some getting used too.21:10
SilverFoxBodsda: EFI also tells the hardware what to 'power on', does it not?21:10

bpietromamece2: Ctrl+Alt+F2, another terminal, then log in and kill X22:49

rodmanhey guys, i am trying to get a usb hdd to be auto mounted (with rw permission for users in group 'admin') but i can't get it done. what's the prefered way? fstab or udev rules? there's a massive article on the latter on serverfault but it seems SO complicated compared to adding a single line to fstab.22:50
mamece2bpietro: when i do ctrl+alt+F2 i get to the messed up X22:50

pfiforodman, the udev method is preferred for removable devices22:51
pozMahaVishnu, I am back!22:51
rodmanpfifo: is there a very simple approach to it?22:52
sburwood1urlin2u: Does the paste mean something?22:52
rodman(couldnt find any)22:52
pfiforodman, manually mount22:52
urlin2usburwood1, not sure can you pastebin all the text from running sudo apt-get update in a paste bin22:52
Canadian1296im building my ideal livecd (much thanks to pfifo and webnet), and im trying to decide what packages i should install. Im install packages like parted, emacs, aircrack, tcpdump, testdisk, photorec, wipe, etc. Any more i should get?22:52
rodmanpfifo: but then i have to use sudo and it won't be available to other users22:53
MahaVishnupoz, succesor ?22:53
bpietromamece2: last resort - remote login from another box  :) or hard reset22:53
pozok, so it was purple for a bit, not very long. maybe 30 seconds... then it did the text thing. no errors and then i logged in and typed the lightdm start thing22:53
pozit was faster22:53
MahaVishnupoz, so no more error either ?22:53
pozno more error22:53
pozall "[OK]22:53
poz"22:54
pfiforodman, you can add options to a manual mount to let users access it. you could put in in fstab but it will only automount on boot, udev will make it automount when it gets plugged in22:54
MahaVishnupoz, ok you can change. /etc/default/grub that line from "text" back to "quiet splash" you remeber where?22:54

kimphey webnet, thanks for your help a few days ago.  Turned out I needed a new hard drive...22:55
ScramTech I know it's been awhile... but I finally got the RocketRAID 2640 drivers installed and it worked!  I had to sort out the instructions between the two guides and make a custom dkms.conf file.  The raid array now shows up as /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1 (old windows boot partition), and /dev/sdb2 (main array where windows was installed).22:56
MahaVishnupoz, glad it worked for ya. I gotta run out now ;-)22:56
ScramTechI'm kind of stuck now though... from my reading it seems I need to mount  the /dev/sdb devices somehow... but I'm not sure how?  Would it be possible to create a mount point called "raid", mount /sdb to that and reformat the array before I go and try to add it to /etc/fstab?22:56

connor_Any of you guys got any expirence with SD readers?22:58
sburwood1urlin2u: get the gist of the problem?22:58
Canadian1296connor_ Hi22:58
connor_I've got a massive problem, if anybody could help me solve it, I'd be eternally gretefull.22:58
sburwood1connor_: I had a problem with my EEPC and its SD card reader22:58
rypervenche!ask | connor_22:58
ubottuconnor_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience22:58
urlin2usburwood1, I see oneiric and natty hits do you know how to open the sources.list in read and write and adjust this mixture of mirrors.22:59
sburwood1connor_: but I sent it back to ASUS and they replaced the mother board22:59
kimpwebnet, I had three partitions to start with.  After I installed ubuntu (many times!) I had 5, all of which windows reported as primary.  I thought windows was mis-reporting.  Anyhow, got a new disk with not partitions and started again.  Very happy!  Also, had to drop back to lucid, which suits me fine!22:59
Canadian1296connor_ what's your question22:59
sburwood1urlin2u: Tell me how, and I'll try22:59
connor_Well, basically, I've got a new laptop, and then realised that the lock mechanism in the SD reader doesn't work22:59
connor_The spring-loaded bit works, but the lock doesn't. :/23:00
urlin2usburwood1, have you added any ppa's or is your sources list basically stock with out the anomalies.23:00
ikoniaconnor_:  not really an ubuntu issue23:00
bpietrokimp: sure mis-reported, it's impossible create more then 4 primary partitions23:00
sburwood1urlin2u: ppa's??23:00
connor_I know, I'm aware23:00
rypervencheconnor_: So what's your question?23:01
connor_But I thought I'd ask you lot, you seem a lovely community23:01
ikoniaconnor_: ok, that's not ontopic for this channel,23:01
ikoniaconnor_: try ##hardware23:01
webnetconnor_ take it to a repair shop. sadly there isnt much we cah do here def try the hardware channel tho they may have some tips23:01
reCAPTCHAHey all, I am having issues with 11.10 seemingly randomly logging me off.23:01
reCAPTCHAIs this common?23:01
sburwood1reCAPTCHA: I hope not.  I've never experienced that23:02
urlin2usburwood1, ppa's are 3rd party repos for stuff in launchpaad. So here is a link to generate the stock sources.list for what ever version you have installed Oneiric I suspect. You can use it a a refrence as to what your source list should look like. You can open yours with gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list23:02
urlin2upastebin.ubuntu.com/766384/23:02
webnetreCAPTCHA, well... its most likely a bug. Oneric JUST came out and so it will be buggy for a while. i dont know of any sort of issue that might cause that23:03
bpietroconnor_: you have a problem, Asus replaced MoBo. Problem resolved or persist?23:03
sburwood1urlin2u: The only ppa I can think of is Opera23:03
reCAPTCHAIt seems to happen mostly when I have firefox open... I thought maybe it was an issue with flash... but now it is happening when I am not viewing any flash.23:03
reCAPTCHAI actually had a similar issue with 10.0423:04
urlin2usburwood1, sorry here is the link http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/   you could replace yours with the websites if needed. If you have a opera it is probably in the sources.list.d23:04

skreanatahey ubuntu guys. I am tring to extract a clip from a video using ffmpeg? can anyone help me with the code?23:07
buster1skreanata: how far have you got?23:08
Canadian1296skreanata, like just choose a portion of the video to save as a new clip?23:08
InvaderZimand just for the record, my desktop icons have disappeared23:08
InvaderZima logout/login will show them again23:08
skreanatai am newbie to ffmpeg but i have successfully converted some videos. my main problem is i want to extract the clip with same quality, same codec, same audio and video bitrate23:08
skreanatamain point is i want everything in same quality.23:09
InvaderZimskreanata: look the manual, the codec you want to use is called "copy"23:09
InvaderZimskreanata: man ffmpeg. the command uses like -acopy -vcopy23:09
sburwood1urlin2u: Wouldn't it be easier to just remove the Natty hits?23:09
skreanatai have looked at manual. and that is where i learned all the things from. but i wanted to get some help from a person.23:10
buster1InvaderZim, you said "giving loads of 5.0",what does that mean?23:10
skreanatathanks invaderzim.23:10
InvaderZimbuster1: load average: 5.0 (1 min)23:10
buster1skreanata: do the ffmpeg guys have a support channel?23:10
skreanatainvader may i talk to you in separate window?23:10
InvaderZimskreanata: that would not be helpful as others wouldn't gain from it23:11
skreanatabuster1: i don't know about their support channel. i googled there forum but i tought i may as well get help from ubuntu irc channel.23:11
buster1it's really for supporting ubuntu itself.23:11
InvaderZimskreanata: From the man pages: -vcodec codec Force video codec to codec. Use the "copy" special value to tell that the raw codec data must be copied as is.23:11
skreanataInvaderZim: wait a moment let me look manual.23:12
InvaderZimskreanata: useful if you just want to change the container23:12
sandjkirklandis anybody familiar with the program wicd23:12
Canadian1296sandjkirkland: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/23:13
sandjkirklandcanadian: I installed wicd but now the ubuntu software center does not recognize internet connection. I can install and download through terminal23:14
sburwood1urlin2u: I did what you seemed to suggest.  Now that I have saved the new info, do I need to reboot or can I try to update?23:14
Canadian1296ive never used it, i just googled wicd. Try removing it and see what happens23:15
urlin2usburwood1, probably I was just giving you a correct list as a reference for that, and just letting you know of all the options23:15
skreanataInvaderZim: help me with one more code23:15
urlin2usburwood1, run a update23:15
sburwood1thx23:15
sburwood1urlin2u: Hold on, I'll tell you if update manager worked out or not23:16
sandjkirklandcanadian1296: by suggestions I uninstalled the original network-manager. how do I reinstall is23:16
urlin2usburwood1, it looked like a upgrade from natty to oneric didn't remove the natty repos.23:16
InvaderZimskreanata: ?23:16
skreanataInvaderZim: suppose i have hd video. i want to convert it to smaller resolution but i want to maintain everything else. what would be the code in this case?23:16
InvaderZimskreanata: is ur name renata?23:17
skreanatai have used -sameq but the resulted video was bigger in size.23:17
skreanataInvaderZim: my real name is noman23:17
sburwood1urlin2u: Since you mentioned that, it must have been that, but I'm going to wait until I get back a response from update-manager23:17
InvaderZimskreanata: oh maybe u spoke my language, ok23:17
Canadian1296what was the original one called (how did you remove it?)23:17
skreanataInvaderZim: i speak Urdu / Hindi23:18
sburwood1urlin2u: I just got 7 packages to update, so it should be ok, now, thanks23:18
sburwood1bye23:18
skreanataInvaderZim: renata perhaps mean 'born again'23:18
InvaderZimskreanata: uhm ok not mine23:18
InvaderZimskreanata: regarding ur question, option i.e. -s 640x48023:18
sandjkirklandcanadian1296: sudo update-rc.d network-manager remove23:18
skreanataInvaderZim: -s 640x480 but same audio and video bitrate and same quality same frame rate23:20
skreanataInvaderZim: also the size of resulted file should be smaller since resulted file is in lower resolution23:21
Canadian1296sandjkirkland: one sec23:21
jethrogbdo other people have problems with the ubuntu extras repo?23:21
InvaderZimskreanata: can't tell u, I would try it on a few seconds video to see the result. but if u want to be sure just specify the fps and bitrate and etc23:21
jethrogbI'm getting this error when running apt-get update: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key23:22
Canadian1296sandjkirkland: I have no idea… Sorry i couldnt help23:22
jethrogbthe keyserver doesn't have any new signatures23:22
xwinI have compiled a code but this is not seen in the synaptic, anyone knows how to solve this problem?23:22
skreanataInvaderZim: i don't want to specify fps and bitrate because if the source video is in lower fps and bitrate, there is no use in using higher fps and bitrate for resulted video. so i want ffmpeg to take the same fps and bitrate23:23
=== buster is now known as buster1
sandjkirklandcanadian1296: thanks for trying23:23
Canadian1296skreanata: ill check, but im pretty sure theres a same quality argument that does just that...23:25
skreanataInvaderZim: yeah there's a -sameq argument but that is for only video, as far as i know. let me check again.23:26

Rapido3011seniseni Correction: is not needed for WoW the i5 is enough23:49
Barbariandudefor {find . -type f -iname "*.mp3"}; do ffmpeg -i "$name" "$name".ogg; done;23:49
Barbariandudebash: syntax error near unexpected token `. <--- what am I doing wrong?23:49
FrozenFireseniseni, Just don't get anything with hybrid graphics.23:49
mamece2MonkeyDust: nope. i just try it in this pc23:49
prodigelhi all. I'm having troubles install/configuring fglrx on my laptop. I've tried the ubuntu tutorials with no success, also 32/64 bit (some problems seem to be related to that, not sure). I'm using a hybrid graphics notebook intel/amd videocards. anyone experienced?23:49
webnetg2g all! :P sionara!23:49
FrozenFireI got saddled with an i3 with Optimus graphics, using the nVidia 330M, and I've never had more issues, ever, with a system.23:50
seniseniFrozenFire: dont get i5 u mean?23:50
FrozenFireseniseni, I mean be careful of what you get.23:50
seniseniargh, its so COMPLICATED.. to pick setup for new computer23:50
Barbariandudeseniseni, FrozenFire is right, I'm on an i7, tons of problems with optimus23:50
seniseniBarbariandude: omg (23:50
FrozenFireThe Intel Core processors are fine on their own.23:50
gogetaBarbariandude: yea the kernel has issues using tubo boost on the i serise23:50
FrozenFireBut they often come bundled with the Optimus bullshit.23:50
Rapido3011seniseni Go Intel, something with an H61 or P67 chipset23:50
FrozenFireWorst. Idea. Ever.23:51
foul_owlhow do i connect to a wpa2 access point using the command line? I keep getting "EAPOL:  SUPP_PAE entering state DISCONNECTED" then "EAPOL: KEY_RX entering state NO_KEY_RECEIVE"23:51
MonkeyDustfoul_owl  explore the commands iwlist and iwconfig23:51
warfarenwith ubuntu default settings, will my harddrive auto power down after a certain amount of inactive time?23:51
gogetafoul_owl: you need to use wpa_supplcment23:51
Barbariandudegogeta, no, not turbo, it's optimus. Nvidia wrote a half-assed windows driver and no linux driver23:51
foul_owlim using wpa_supplicant, i need to know how to write a config file for it23:51
seniseniRapido3011: yep! any of them? or concrete?.. or Z68?23:51
seniseniRapido3011: its big problem to choose for me23:52
gogetafoul_owl: add the ssid and passfrase to it23:52
foul_owlall the tutorials i have found only cover wpa, not wpa223:52
FrozenFireBarbariandude, Though, if you've not heard of it already, take a look at ironhide.23:52
gogetafoul_owl: they work the same23:52
FrozenFireIt at least manages to get my system fan to stop running 24/723:52
foul_owlsame config file for both?23:52
foul_owlI keep getting "EAPOL:  SUPP_PAE entering state DISCONNECTED" then "EAPOL: KEY_RX entering state NO_KEY_RECEIVE"23:52
Rapido3011seniseni I have a H61 board for a HTPC in combination wth an i3 2100 and that all runs just fine23:53
BarbariandudeFrozenFire, from my experience, Bumblebee (the resurrected community one without MrMEEE) works better than ironhide23:53
FrozenFireBarbariandude, Really?23:53

MonkeyDustwhat's ironhide?23:53
gogetafoul_owl: do sudo wpa_passfrase ssid "passfrase" > /etc/wpa_supplcment.conf23:53
FrozenFireBarbariandude, I've been having major issues with ironhide not having any real support for my system.23:53
gogetafoul_owl: i probly missplled it23:53
FrozenFireIt somehow manages to get the nVidia graphics to turn off, but that's about it.23:54
trismabstrakt: doesn't seem to find gvim here either, unless I copy /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications, then it pops right up23:54
Rapido3011seniseni Z68 just allows you to update to the Ivy Bridge APU's23:54
BarbariandudeFrozenFire, https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable23:54
foul_owlok let me try that thanks!23:54
gogetafoul_owl: that adds the key23:54
Rapido3011seniseni But they should all work jst fine23:54
FrozenFireBarbariandude, I'll give it a go.23:54
FrozenFireAnything's better than this :P23:54
gogetafoul_owl: then net link wlan0 up to bring the card up23:55
BarbariandudeFrozenFire, make sure you follow their post-ironhide cleanup23:55
FrozenFireBarbariandude, Yeah, doing it now23:55
gogetafoul_owl: you will save alot of hassel makeing a script23:55
doc|homecan anyone recommend software in synaptic for managing an attached (via usb) APC UPS device?23:55
gogetabrb23:55
seniseniRapido3011: thx! u know any site with good reviews? or ready cheap seutps?..argh english23:55
BarbariandudeMonkeyDust, Bumblebee and Ironhide are community projects to get optimus graphics switching working on linux, which Nvidia does not want to support23:56
Rapido3011seniseni Not really, you should check out the comparison card on Intel's site23:56
penguin_03tamale1, X inst part of ubuntu-server last i checked do you mean a TTY session?23:57

BarbariandudeFrozenFire, what I meant by project is that it's an ongoing thing thats not done23:59
foul_owlthanks let me try that too23:59
penguin_03tamale1, X is a very big security risk on servers, you should at least disable it when it isnt in use, nonetheless do you have any more information on the problem?23:59
gogetafoul_owl: the first comand you only need to do once23:59
