[00:00] <pythonirc101> ubluntu: isn't there a gui to edit this
[00:00] <shawn1> not precisely
[00:00] <vsync_> but shawn1 do: cat /var/log/kern.log | grep fallen
[00:00] <shawn1> let me look at the log
[00:00] <html> robin0800,  i have no idea what to do with the info u gave me
[00:00] <shawn1> I entered  cat /var/log/kern.log | grep fallen and nothing happened
[00:00] <ubluntu> pythonirc101: im not really familiar with virtualbox but if it was an ati/nvidia card then yes...
[00:01] <vsync_> ok, so it's not a similar problem. But I never found a solution why it hardlocked. But I think it was faulty hardware.
[00:01] <vsync_> however, the solution to your "only one core" problem, could be to enable either SLI or MultiGPU mode in xorg.conf
[00:02] <pythonirc101> ubluntu: is there a sample somewhere for the xorg file?
[00:02] <vsync_> or alternatively you can have nvidia-xconfig to make the conf for you... you have to use a switch... check details with man nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-xconfig --help, and look for the multigpu or sli switch
[00:02] <ubluntu> pythonirc101: here is mine granted its for a regular install with two seperate video cards but you can see the layout here.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/789283/
[00:02] <L1nuxRules> happy new year (UTC) and Uk
[00:03] <vsync_> and oh shawn1 i suppose you are using proprietary drivers
[00:03] <yumbo> Happy new year, GMT-countries :)
[00:03] <shawn1> I tried SLI on and SLI off and neither worked
[00:03] <vsync_> try the multigpu
[00:03] <shawn1> where's that
[00:03] <shawn1> ?
[00:03] <vsync_> sec
[00:03] <L1nuxRules> This is the new year of the internet :)
[00:04] <L1nuxRules> internet time is UTc
[00:04] <shawn1> I'm not using any proprietary drivers on my system
[00:04] <pythonirc101> ubluntu: so I create two screens or two monitors as well?
[00:04] <vsync_> So you're using nouveau?
[00:04] <ubluntu> pythonirc101: two screens + two monitors I believe
[00:05] <vsync_> shawn1 ?
[00:05] <shawn1> uhmm
[00:05] <shawn1> NVidia accelerated graphics driver (current version)
[00:05] <shawn1> I'm using what Ubuntu automatically selected for my machine
[00:05] <vsync_> well, that is proprietary
[00:05] <shawn1> oh, okay
[00:05] <shawn1> is that part of the problem?
[00:06] <cypher-neo> Anyone here good with shell scripting? I have a couple questions.
[00:06] <vsync_> shawn1 no, the open source drivers are fubar as of now
[00:06] <L1nuxRules> shawn1 if your cards fairly new drivers probably wont support that card
[00:07] <L1nuxRules> or have nvidi drivers improved?
[00:07] <L1nuxRules> *a
[00:07] <shawn1> huh?
[00:07] <shawn1> I think I have a 270 version
[00:07] <shawn1> and I'm using a GTX 295 and a GTX 460 SE
[00:08] <urgh> HELLO ALL: HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
[00:08] <vsync_> shawn1 you can get nvidia-xconfig to build the conf for you, run sudo nvidia-xconfig --multigpu=on
[00:08] <vsync_> and then just restart X to see whether it activates
[00:09] <tjiggi_fo> html, see your PM
[00:09] <shawn1> okay
[00:09] <shawn1> how do I restart X
[00:09] <shawn1> just 'restart X'
[00:09] <shawn1> ?
[00:09] <ubluntu> shawn1: sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
[00:09] <vsync_> you can do it via services... sudo service Xdm restart
[00:09] <vsync_> replace Xdm with whatever display manager you use
[00:10] <milamber> !x
[00:10] <vsync_> obv he found a way
[00:12] <L1nuxRules> service kdm stop doesent seem to work on kubuntu though
[00:13] <vsync_> well there's initscripts still in place. Dunno if the whole service-system is just a frontend for initscripts
[00:13] <robin0800> L1nuxRules: did you use sudo?
[00:13] <vsync_> which would make no sense
[00:13] <L1nuxRules> robin0800 of course :)
[00:14] <L1nuxRules> robin0800 it was someone at work who overwrit my ubuntu install with kubuntu so might not be general
[00:15] <haylo> if you installed that kubuntu desktop just delelte everything
[00:15] <L1nuxRules> kubuntu had updated grub so although I hvent used kubuntu I suspect it should modify the boot loader?
[00:15] <L1nuxRules> kubuntu hadnt*
[00:15] <haylo> I know right? you dont want all that
[00:15] <robin0800> vsync_: its the change to upstart that has depreciated the initscripts
[00:15] <haylo> yeah it will mess with everything
[00:16] <haylo> just make a copy of your data and apps and reinstall
[00:16] <thebobwithquesti> looking to upgrade Freespire 2.0 based on shipjack fiesty to ubuntu 11.10...having install issues...is this the right forum
[00:17] <robin0800> L1nuxRules:a clean install is always to be preferred if possible
[00:17] <shawn1> Okay
[00:17] <L1nuxRules> so a reinstall is the only option to revert to ubuntu and not replace packages modify boot scripts etc, I havent had time to do that yet but thats the way I like to fix stuff :0
[00:17] <shawn1> it just left me with a blank screen
[00:17] <shawn1> so I turned it off
[00:18] <shawn1> and tried attaching one screen to each card
[00:18] <shawn1> then it started up
[00:19] <shawn1> it still only detects one core
[00:20] <haylo> L1nuxRules, yea you can get rid of that stuff but it si going to require some work to fully purge your system of the kde desktop
[00:21] <L1nuxRules> haylo cool I will take the long way its not my regular desktop and its triple booted , I like the real hacker life :)
[00:21] <haylo> yeah keep the install as long as you can
[00:22] <haylo> sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop did nothing for me
[00:23] <L1nuxRules> haylo I tried stopping kde and starting gnome but iirc gnome told me it was already running and stopping kde it was still runnning
[00:23] <L1nuxRules> I work with servers not desktops so my knowledge of guis and x11 is limited
[00:24] <haylo> well id imagine alot of ubuntu staff are enjoying the new year. but if i can help i will
[00:24] <haylo> did you go into the software center and romve kde sttuff?
[00:24] <haylo> remove
[00:25] <angela-> hi i have ngircd running now and it not yet configgert what to do i note good addit
[00:27] <thebobwithquesti> like your style brither haylo...I am too new ....looking to see what this forum is all about....was that a cloud server you just helped with?
[00:27] <L1nuxRules> haylo software center no , I do everything from bash
[00:27] <haylo> no he just has problems with removing kde desktop
[00:28] <haylo> sudo apt-get remove kde-desktop?
[00:28] <L1nuxRules> its not kde desktop someone installed kubuntu over my ubuntu install at work
[00:29] <haylo> sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[00:29] <L1nuxRules> thats kde only is that all that differs with kubuntu and ubuntu?
[00:29] <thebobwithquesti> I think my whole system is KDE based....and am not sure what bash is but it is extremely common on the command line
[00:29] <L1nuxRules> Im a RH man
[00:29] <haylo> yes but the kubuntu is different then plain kde
[00:30] <stepnjump> hi guys, I have a question... I am starting to run out of room here on my partition sda7 but thepartition before sda6 has plenty of room. I went to gparted and tried to widen sda7 but I get the warning from gparted: http://pastebin.com/2WW1zN7h If someone could help, I would appreciate it.
[00:30] <haylo> its customized ubuntu base with a custom kde desktop
[00:30] <L1nuxRules> so theres much more than removing kde to revert it to ubuntu then, thought so?
[00:30] <angela-> das anyone no what the ip adres are of the ngircd ?
[00:31] <L1nuxRules> I want to hack it back to ubuntu though not reinstall
[00:31] <haylo> bash means:bourne agian shell
[00:31] <haylo> do aot-get remove and apt-get purge
[00:31] <haylo> use the disk janitor on your machine and restart-
[00:32] <stepnjump> I thought it didn't matter since the partition keeps it's same name, thus sda7.. Is it true it will mess up my boot loader?
[00:32] <mininessie> i need help i am trying to install ubuntu on an evga 780I motherboard but it won't boot the cd and the cd is good it got to the installer but froze and now it won't boot at all
[00:33] <_rb> I have a choice of rpm based distribution or debian based distribution for a driver. Which one is Ubuntu?
[00:33] <Fudge> just sudo restart lightdm also works
[00:33] <haylo> why dont you just acess the partition with nautilus and save yuour files in a special folder there on the other operating system
[00:33] <Stanley00> _rb: it's deb
[00:33] <_rb> Stanley00 thanks!
[00:33] <NictraSavios> Hello. Is there anywhere I can give feedback on the fact that the Ubuntu Software Center is as fast as maple syrup in the arctic.
[00:33] <Stanley00> _rb: you are welcome ;)
[00:33] <mininessie> i need help i am trying to install ubuntu on an evga 780I motherboard but it won't boot the cd and the cd is good it got to the installer but froze and now it won't boot at all
[00:34] <stepnjump> stanley00, sorry for yesterday, I ran out of power on my laptop, that's why I dropped so fast
[00:34] <NictraSavios> And froze 17 times while trying to install 7 programs...
[00:34] <urlin2u> L1nuxRules, look at playing around bottom left panel. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/  and yeah we get it you know servers.
[00:34] <ubluntu> mininessie: did yoiu  md5 check the iso
[00:34] <Stanley00> stepnjump: :)
[00:35] <urlin2u> stepnjump, if you change in fstab to a /dev/sdaX instead of the uuid it will boot.
[00:35] <NictraSavios> Like seriously.... I don't think that should happen. Like.... thats quite a severe lack in quality.
[00:35] <mininessie> ubluntu: it worked about a week ago but then i left the disk at my brother's house and reburnt it with the same iso file i had
[00:35] <stepnjump> I know i must have looked like another ungrateful *** here but it wasn't the case... So again sorry Stanley00 - btw, it worked good with gunzip file.gz
[00:35] <stepnjump> urlin2u oh ok! that's interesting! Thank you very much my friend
[00:36] <Stanley00> stepnjump: dont worry about that :D
[00:36] <urlin2u> stepnjump, no problem. :D
[00:36] <stepnjump> well, may Stanley00  and urlin2u  have a great 2012!
[00:36] <L1nuxRules> urlin2u troubleshooting I spent 5 secs looking , If you were commenting on my skills, I fix anything when I have too for myself always have. Was only asking for quick advice if it was a known isue
[00:36] <mininessie> ubluntu: you there
[00:36] <stepnjump> and the rest of all of you
[00:37] <urlin2u> stepnjump, you to.
[00:37]  * NictraSavios is completely ignored.
[00:37] <Stanley00> stepnjump: thanks, the same to you
[00:37] <haylo> happy new year linux users!
[00:37] <stepnjump> thanks urlin2u and Stanley00 !!
[00:37] <L1nuxRules> happy new year to those -1
[00:37] <stepnjump> I could use it a lot!
[00:38] <ubluntu> mininessie: first thing i'd do is check the md5
[00:38]  * NictraSavios . . .
[00:39] <osmosis> Im having difficulty understanding how encrypted home dirs work. The process is so transparent, so I have no idea what its doing.
[00:43] <caffine> how do i find the /dev device to which a usb device has been bound? apparently, usbcore registered my device with snd-usb-audio, but i'm not sure where or how to find it to use on the command line with mplayer. i can see the video at /dev/video0 but don't know where to find the audio. here are the relevant entries from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789239/ here's lsusb:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/789240/ here's what i'm trying t
[00:46] <mongy> osmosis: encryption is in (I believe) .ecryptfs folder.  It's transparent because that's how it works.
[00:46] <osmosis> mongy, but where do my actual files get saved?
[00:47] <L1nuxRules> lagggggggggggggggggggg
[00:48] <mongy> osmosis: in the encrypted folder
[00:48] <L1nuxRules> your actual files will be in /home/user
[00:48] <mongy> but you will see you files as usual, as long as you are logged in
[00:49] <osmosis> which is actually a symlink to  /home/.ecryptfs
[00:49] <mongy> not logged in, you won't see anything but junk
[00:49] <osmosis> mongy, are things encrypted in real time?  if my server goes offline, are the files still encrypted?
[00:50] <mongy> yes
[00:50] <mongy> everything is encrypted.
[00:50] <dyess002> Hi Guys I have just run out of space on my hard drive and I started looking around and seen a 32.9 ENCRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWZNm  folder and I didn't encrypt anything. Is this something to be worried about?
[00:51] <osmosis> when i look in the .ecryptfs dir, I dont see a disk image or a single large file. Where are my files stored?
[00:51] <L1nuxRules> if the server goes offline the files arent accessible :)
[00:51] <dyess002> 32.9gig that is
[00:51] <mongy> osmosis: if you want more encryption, use the alternate cd to enable full drive encryption
[00:55] <stepnjump> ok urlin2u, I replaced uuid with /dev/sda7 and previously backed up /etc/fstab to fstab.bk we'll see what happens. I won't have time to come back to let you know but I'm sure it will work fine. Thanks again
[00:55] <urlin2u> stepnjump, no problem.
[00:56] <angela-> how do i remove ngircd he dont any proces of it?
[00:58] <cypher-neo> Can someone help me with a bash script I'm having trouble with? I'm trying to pull my uptime from /proc/uptime and write a script to tell me how long I've been up in H:M:S. Here's what I have written so far. http://pastebin.com/jNTD0HkN Currently all it seems to do is freeze CLI.
[00:58] <dyess002> gota go I may post my question later again
[00:58] <mongy> angela-: sudo apt-get purhe ngircd
[00:58] <mongy> angela-: sudo apt-get purge ngircd
[00:58] <mongy> my typos, ugh
[00:59] <DrPenguin> cypher-neo: #bash
[00:59] <pnorman> cypher-neo: my initial thoughts would be to strip stuff you don't want out of the results of uptime
[00:59] <cypher-neo> DrPenguin, Thank you. Going now. :)
[00:59] <cypher-neo> pnorman, I tried that, but I had a trailing comma that just wouldn't leave!
[01:00] <cypher-neo> pnorman, So I decided to take the longer, but possibly more satisfying route (once it's complete that is) of writing a H:M:S calculation
[01:05] <L1nuxRules> cypher-neo why dont you just get the output of uptime?
[01:08] <L1nuxRules> then grep it xargs whatever awk and sed it to what you want
[01:09] <angela-> ok i have removed ngircd
[01:11] <mongy> congrats
[01:12] <quiescens> cypher-neo: first things first is you should probably count your opening and closing parenthesis
[01:13] <angela-> dont no how whas helpen me in prived whit ngircd?
[01:13] <Teratogen> ircd?  you setting up an irc network?
[01:13] <angela-> i try to
[01:13] <Teratogen> you linking to efnet?
[01:14] <angela-> i have don nothing yet
[01:15] <angela-> i cant do it on me one
[01:15] <skilz> angela-: What are you trying to do?
[01:16] <angela-> to set up a ircd server
[01:16] <skilz> angela-: What IRCD are you using? Unreal IRCD?
[01:17] <angela-> i have don nothing yet
[01:17] <angela-> i can using unrealircd yes
[01:17] <skilz> angela-: Well I recommend you try Unreal IRCD. A few config files to edit but fairly simple.
[01:19] <angela-> it for my not esy to do
[01:19] <skilz> angela-: Just read the manuals and help provided online. Good luck! :)
[01:20] <angela-> thanks

[01:21] <sintrigue> hi
[01:21] <L1nuxRules> Ubutu are doing a good job of spreading our OS but its still not 100% for noobs yet but then again neither is win...
[01:23] <L1nuxRules> Ubuntu*
[01:23] <skilz> L1nuxRules: Why would you want to make Linux for 'n00bs'? The fun of using Linux is learning all the little bits and peices that make you a compitent sysadmin.
[01:24] <sintrigue> agree with skilz. all part of the fun ;)
[01:24] <DrPenguin> skilz: because if its not "easy" people give up to easy.. because they are lazy
[01:24] <sintrigue> let 'em go then.
[01:24] <html> theres os for everyone here,,, 2000 ,, but about 100 youll hear about
[01:24] <L1nuxRules> skilz I agree 100% with that but I would like to see M$ have a down fall. Then again since Linux has progressed micro shit have took the step up on open source.
[01:25] <skilz> DrPenguin: Then Linux is not for them, Linux is for intelligent, patient people that wish to learn the ins and out's of computing.
[01:25] <DrPenguin> skilz: oh I agree
[01:25] <L1nuxRules> so if we quitened down the bill cunt might shut up
[01:25] <pangolin> !language | L1nuxRules
[01:25] <bfrazier_> skilz, yup, but it is worth it
[01:26] <Teratogen> I really like kids who run ircd with one server in the entire network
[01:26] <skilz> If you don't have the patients, time and dedication to actually learn Linux, use another OS and don't fuss over it.
[01:26] <L1nuxRules> sorry for language peeps
[01:26] <aBound> Personal preference when it comes to OS's.
[01:27] <Teratogen> I used to fire up BeOS and QNX occasionally
[01:27] <Teratogen> ah, those were the days!
[01:27] <mebigfatguy> is it possible to put sudo .... in a unity launcher desktop file?
[01:27] <bfrazier_> mebigfatguy, yes
[01:27] <html> aBound,  and needs ...
[01:27] <milo_> Hey everybody.
[01:27] <sintrigue> heya
[01:27] <html> hi
[01:27] <aBound> html, Depends they all can pretty much do the same thing yet some are better in certain areas.
[01:27] <aBound> :P
[01:27] <milo_> Still trying to get my wireless working. Anybody got any suggestions?
[01:28] <freenodiz> Happy new year!!!!!!
[01:28] <mebigfatguy> bfrazier_, how does it prompt you for password?
[01:28] <mebigfatguy> bfrazier_, because it doesn't seem to work
[01:28] <DrPenguin> mebigfatguy: your better off using gksudo, or adding the program in question to sudoers so it doesnt require a password, the former is safer
[01:29] <mebigfatguy> DrPenguin, gksudo seems to work thansk
[01:29] <bfrazier_> mebigfatguy, http://pastebin.com/360jiThC
[01:29] <mebigfatguy> i am trying to get eclipse to launch java (debug) with sudo powers
[01:29] <DrPenguin> mebigfatguy: the problem you are encountering with sudo is that sudo is a cli tool, gksudo is a graphical one ^^
[01:30] <Orthebox> Hi guys just wondering what's the use of amd64+mac in the releases
[01:30] <mebigfatguy> and hoping if i run eclispe with sudo, the programs it launches will be to
[01:30] <Orthebox> I currently have a macbook pro that i wanna boot with ubuntu so do i use tat?
[01:30] <osmosis> when i look in the .ecryptfs dir, I dont see a disk image or a single large file. Where are my files stored?
[01:31] <L1nuxRules> orthevox none unless your using a mac
[01:31] <mebigfatguy> nice that worked thanks DrPenguin
[01:32] <aBound> Orthebox, AMD64 is just the architecture name for x86-64 yet AMD came out with it first they renamed it. Just means 64-Bit.
[01:32] <Orthebox> L1nuxRules: As in should I use the amd64+mac.iso file?
[01:32] <L1nuxRules> ^^ then yes its your updated kernel
[01:32] <Orthebox> Since it says like "+mac" lol
[01:32] <Orthebox> Cos I dled the other one (i386) and then the wireless and everything is a little bit tipsy
[01:32] <Orthebox> So I should get it eh? Thanks :)
[01:33] <L1nuxRules> oh your downloadinf=g dist ehn yeah thats the iso you need
[01:33] <DrPenguin> aBound: didnt intel come up with 64bit first? I thought the itanium 64 was first, but AMD's duron 64 was mucho more successful and much more usuable than itanium was
[01:33] <mebigfatguy> thansk bfrazier_   works
[01:33] <milamber> !amd64
[01:33] <bfrazier_> mebigfatguy, no problem
[01:33] <aBound> DrPenguin, x86-64 is an extension of the x86 instruction set. It supports vastly larger virtual and physical address spaces than are possible on x86, thereby allowing programmers to conveniently work with much larger data sets. x86-64 also provides 64-bit general purpose registers and numerous other enhancements. The original specification was created by AMD, and has been implemented by AMD, Intel, VIA, and others
[01:34] <lego> any one know how the initrd on the install cd mounts the cdrom? udev rules ?
[01:34] <L1nuxRules> I havent a clue about mac hardware though so listen to these guys
[01:34] <DrPenguin> aBound: I know what 64bit is..
[01:34] <aBound> After launching the architecture under the "x86-64" name, AMD renamed it AMD64 in 2003
[01:34] <lego> i'm running on mac hardware
[01:34] <aBound> It's just a name for the architecture.
[01:35] <DrPenguin> aBound:  forget it
[01:35] <Reggie> Hey folks can Ubuntu be set up to be used as a NAS with a Web Frontend like freenas or openfiler?
[01:35] <aBound> Blah! :P
[01:35] <pp7> Reggie: why not just use apache?
[01:35] <bfrazier_> Reggie, good question...I was wanting to know that one as well
[01:35] <L1nuxRules> Are there Mac versions of Ubuntu?
[01:36] <aBound> I'm sure Intel came out with 64-Bit first but the architecture name is usually AMD64 to notify people that it's 64-Bit.
[01:36] <pp7> L1nuxRules: LOL
[01:36] <lego> yep, there is a special live cd for mac
[01:36] <Reggie> no mac verss as of yetion
[01:36] <Reggie> it doesnt work
[01:36] <Orthebox> lego: Which one?
[01:36] <L1nuxRules> lol
[01:36] <Reggie> I tried on my macbook pro, missing certain drivers
[01:36] <aBound> DrPenguin, Yet it'd be easier for them to just label it 64-Bit. :P
[01:36] <Orthebox> Yup and the brightness is weird
[01:36] <pp7> Reggie: why do u need a mac version?
[01:36] <L1nuxRules> I started on red hat before it was enteprise
[01:37] <Reggie> wifi and temp sensors not working
[01:37] <pp7> Reggie: just install the AMD64 version on a macbook pro
[01:37] <Orthebox> Reggie: Same prob
[01:37] <Orthebox> Reggie: Did you fix it?
[01:37] <L1nuxRules> so not really kept up to date with certain things
[01:37] <pnorman> aBound: There's a difference between being 64 bit and amd64. Not all CPUs are based on x86
[01:37] <Reggie> no didnt have the patience to track down drivers
[01:37] <lego> Reggie, for wifi to work you most likely need to download the wifi firmware separately because of licensing issues
[01:37] <aBound> x86 is 32-Bit. :P
[01:37] <lego> looking up the name of the cd and where to get it know
[01:37] <spaoc> UBUNTU!
[01:38] <Orthebox> Does anyone know how to fix a brightness problem?
[01:38] <pp7> Reggie: i'm using ubuntu amd64 on a macbook pro as we speak with ZERO issues
[01:38] <Reggie> I am trying to convince a dev to create a special Ubuntu remix to include all of the latest drivers , not sure how far along he is at this point
[01:38] <Orthebox> Like when I try to turn up the brightness it dims down and I can't see anything
[01:38] <aBound> x86-32 that is. :)
[01:38] <keithclark> I'm having an issue with Thunderbird freezing up all the time.  I have 3 imap accounts on it and one is a gmail account.  Any ideas?  I never had that with evolution.
[01:38] <Orthebox> Reggie: I hope that goes thru it's real hard for macs to install
[01:38] <spaoc> Ubuntu in the MIX
[01:38] <Reggie> pp7 like I said I tried it on the latest macbook pro and the wifi drivers were not available
[01:38] <aBound> Run‌ning an intel quad-core processor on AMD64 Ubuntu.
[01:39] <Orthebox> AMD64 + Mac is good I think gonna give it a try
[01:39] <pnorman> aBound: x86 can also be 16 bit
[01:39] <Reggie> no the installation is a breeze with Ubuntu if you dont mind having your macbook plugged to ethernet cable and your processor eventually frying from lack of fans
[01:39] <aBound> pnorman, Indeed that's why I implied x86-32 afterwards.
[01:40] <L1nuxRules> keithclark if your connecting to, an exchange server using Evouloution using owa is better than thunderbird imap
[01:40] <aBound> It can be 8-bit too.
[01:40] <lego> Reggie, there are several intel mac cd images here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/
[01:40] <lego> Reggie, i used this one ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso
[01:40] <aBound> But the architecture name is usually denoted.
[01:41] <keithclark> L1nuxRules, so switch back to evolution?  Why did ubuntu ever change????
[01:41] <Reggie> lego unless these images have been updated like in the last month I dont think I will see a difference
[01:41] <lego> Reggie, ok.. which version of the macbook pro do you have ?
[01:41] <L1nuxRules> keithclark nothing to do with changes just updates to protocols
[01:42] <Reggie> the latest one with the thunderbolt port
[01:42] <Reggie> I read that Ubuntu did not have the wifi drivers available since the hardware was brand new
[01:42] <L1nuxRules> or the usual user error
[01:42] <aBound> Reggie, Depends on your machine.
[01:43] <lego> ok, i have a macbook 5.2 so i just needed to download the broadcom firmware to get wifi working
[01:43] <aBound> Reggie, I have a week old laptop that worked with Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 wifi flawlessly.
[01:43] <keithclark> L1nuxRules, by whom?
[01:44] <Reggie> well I dont remember the designation for this model macbook pro but I'm fairly certain that drivers were not available for this model
[01:44] <Reggie> shame too I have to say Ubuntu with Unity looks absolutely glorious on the 17th screen
[01:44] <Reggie> 17inch *
[01:44] <L1nuxRules> keithclark windows will always update things that Linux has to update to use there exchange service
[01:45] <jen> I need hep!
[01:45] <jen> help*
[01:45] <freenodiz> I'm using lucid as my server of choice.what would you say if i install lucid lts 10.04 as my DESKTOP of choice?
[01:45] <jen> so Im still trying to install sai paint...
[01:45] <Reggie> aBound I think these macs have broadcom installed
[01:45] <jen> and I am having trouble
[01:45] <aBound> Reggie, I can't say if this command works on your Mac. But you can type: lspci | grep Network. To check what your network controller is using.
[01:45] <Reggie> so a Broadcom driver would be needed
[01:45] <DrPenguin> !ask | jen
[01:46] <bfrazier_> how do you grep several values....for example, if I was looking for every instances of the word, "button" and "attributes"...would I use the following: 'grep -R button & attribute /var/www/'
[01:46] <geirha> freenodiz: Go for it. I stick with LTS for desktop too.
[01:46] <Reggie> anyway I came to find out if anyone has a working Ubuntu box working as a NAS device with a web frontend
[01:46] <bonhoffer> how do i switch to zsh in ubuntu?
[01:46] <freenodiz> geirha,nice :)
[01:46] <DrPenguin> Reggie: whipping up an Apache web service frontend is cake
[01:47] <geirha> bonhoffer: Run chsh
[01:47] <L1nuxRules> if you need to switch to z shell why you need to ask. If you do dont!
[01:47] <bonhoffer> i'll look into it
[01:47] <lego> Reggie, tou most likely have a BCM4331 wifi chip in your mac
[01:47] <Reggie> really DrPenguin
[01:47] <jen> well Im not sure what to do, I try to install it and it tells me I need to be administrator and I am admin, Im not sure of what question to ask.
[01:47] <DrPenguin> Reggie: I have an Arch Linux ARM Server that hosts an SVN and I gave it an HTTP frontend
[01:47] <bonhoffer> L1nuxRules, on mac -- i switched and am used to it there
[01:47] <DrPenguin> jen: install what?
[01:47] <Reggie> are the frontends pre-made
[01:47] <L1nuxRules> Im PC Linux
[01:48] <jen> sai paint, its for windows vista and up but Im trying to use wine for it
[01:48] <aBound> I'm a Mac. :P
[01:48] <Reggie> or would I have to design from Scratch
[01:48] <DrPenguin> Reggie: pretty much, its just your basic File System structure, nothing fancy
[01:49] <Reggie> aBound which version of Mac are you using, meaning which model?
[01:49] <aBound> Reggie, No Mac here I was messing around. I'm running a System76 machine bud.
[01:49] <jen> I dont want to use gimp I want to try sai
[01:49] <Reggie> I know this may be off topic but does anyone in here think that OSX lion is an epic fail especially on the Macbook
[01:49] <aBound> Reggie, If you're using a broadcom wireless network controller you will have to install the drivers.
[01:50] <DrPenguin> Reggie: maybe? it is :P but yeah lion sucks
[01:50] <freenodiz> jen,coder designers can't really stick with only ubuntu,you need adobe,thus you need also a mac/or win
[01:51] <Reggie> i've never seen anything suck up power like Lion
[01:51] <lego> Reggie, yeah lion doesn't really improve anyting.. i went back to snow leopard
[01:51] <aBound> You can use WINE for Photoshop can't say how smooth it'll run though.
[01:51] <Reggie> since I can't use Ubuntu I'm forced to use win 7 all the time
[01:51] <L1nuxRules> PC user and Linux user we are 100% in control of OUR OS
[01:51] <lego> but working on installing ubuntu on my primary disk, running from usb drive now
[01:51] <Reggie> I can get 5 hours out of the MAc with win 7 and maybe 2 hours with lion
[01:51] <keithclark> L1nuxRules, I still don't understand
[01:52] <jen> Ive used virtualbox and I am having trouble with that X_X I might just put it on moms computer when she gets hers. I need windows somewhere
[01:52] <aBound> L1nuxRules, With all the Linux control we can still break are systems. :-)
[01:52]  * freenodiz is waiting for canonical do the deal of the millenium and support adobe apps natively.
[01:52] <L1nuxRules> keithclark as its new year im well too drunk now
[01:52] <aBound> 100% Windows free <<
[01:53] <keithclark> L1nuxRules, Got you and the same here!  Happy New Year!
[01:53] <lego> Reggie, 10.04 looks like it lacks some patches in the kernel to make wifi working without ndis-wrapper but the firmware will be missing even if those patches would be in the kernel
[01:53] <L1nuxRules> aBound thats all that breaks Linux though the user :)
[01:53] <lego> Reggie, i meant 11.04
[01:53] <aBound> No carlories added. lol
[01:53] <Reggie> ok
[01:53] <aBound> L1nuxRules, I broke grub and did a reinstall. :-)
[01:53]  * freenodiz thinks canonical must hire some bomb shell blondies to pay a visit to adobe's chef executives///lol
[01:54] <L1nuxRules> aBound you should have fixed grub though
[01:54] <Reggie> as much as I would like to see Ubuntu work I guess I can wait until at least they get the temp sensors working
[01:54] <pangolin> !guidelines > freenodiz
[01:54] <Zeraphing> temp senors for what?
[01:54] <lego> Reggie, have you looked at this page ? http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/06/install-ubuntu-1104-on-macbook-pro-81.html
[01:55] <aBound> L1nuxRules, When you're a newcomer and barely any experience with Linux fixing grub is a downfall. :P
[01:55] <aBound> Does anybody know how I get rid of this orange box in ubuntu? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/orangeboxq.png/
[01:55] <Zeraphing> can't you just use supergrub to fix grub?
[01:55] <freenodiz> Ohhh c'mon mate,it's new year!!!!
[01:55] <pangolin> freenodiz: there are still rules that need to be followed. Happy new year.
[01:55] <Reggie> hey lego I will give it a read
[01:55] <DrPenguin> aBound: the orange box when you go to highlight an area?
[01:55] <aBound> Zeraphing, Haven't a clue.
[01:56] <aBound> DrPenguin, It just magically appeared when I accidentally pressed some buttons on my touchpad/keyboard.
[01:56] <Reggie> funny thing is Pear OS was released but it will not work on a MAc? lol I never understood that
[01:56] <L1nuxRules> aBound I know where your coming from but I do work in 2nd line support and before that I mwas always good/or quick to fix stuff
[01:56] <Zeraphing> Well I had a problem with grub and it lost my kernel, I just booted from the Supergrub disk and it found everything and put it back in place.
[01:56] <Reggie> many Ubuntu Mac clones that dont work on a MAC what's the point
[01:56] <aBound> L1nuxRules, I probably wouldn't have any issues if I had the right books.
[01:57] <freenodiz> What would you say about vagrant running virtual machines in a linode
[01:57] <milo_> Hey there. Can anybody tell me how to remove Wicd network manager 1.7 and install 1.6 or something else that might work?
[01:57] <L1nuxRules> books are boring learn by doing
[01:57] <aBound> L1nuxRules, Learning shell scripting by a tutorial just doesn't work for me.
[01:57] <Zeraphing> yea reading is for the rich...
[01:57] <aBound> Zeraphing, lol
[01:57] <DrPenguin> L1nuxRules: books are most definitely not boring! Levar Burton makes reading fun
[01:57] <jen> okay so can someone help me with virtualbox?
[01:57] <L1nuxRules> aBound what you struggling with ?
[01:58] <Zeraphing> @JEn, whats up?
[01:58] <html> jen,  ?
[01:58] <jen> one sec, I have to get it loaded
[01:58] <Zeraphing> ok. i have some experience with it.
[01:58] <L1nuxRules> Dr I was talking about non-fic
[01:58] <aBound> L1nuxRules, Nothing as of right now just gotta get rid of this orange box. But figures learning shell scripting through tutorials that are so poor are a pain.
[01:58] <freenodiz> is there some ubuntu-chitichat channel?
[01:58] <DrPenguin> !ot | freenodiz
[01:59] <aBound> Figures, I'd have to log out to get rid of the orange box.
[01:59] <jen> I need someone with a LOT of patience too....this is what it says when I go to startup windows
[01:59] <jen> http://pastebin.com/Q3gcvzx5
[01:59] <lego> any one know how the livecd transitions from initrd to running from the cdrom? cant find from which script the cdrom is mounted..
[01:59] <freenodiz> woww...nice tips dude #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:59] <L1nuxRules> aBound I learned shell scripting by playing with it . Yes read but inbetween reading play around with it!
[02:00] <DrPenguin> aBound: shell scripting isnt hard, I can teach you if youd like
[02:00] <freenodiz> what about a channel for lucid lts 10.04?
[02:00] <aBound> L1nuxRules, I agree to an extent reading is boring but try learning Physics without a textbook or some kind of a math book it'll be tough.
[02:00] <L1nuxRules> Shell scripting is only automated bash
[02:00] <Zeraphing> @Jen let look real quick.
[02:00] <Reggie> jen if you never installed the OS then you will need to relink the ISO so Vbox can run the OS
[02:01] <DrPenguin> L1nuxRules: not necessarily, theres also POSIX, ZShell, TCSHell, KORN, etc etc
[02:01] <aBound> I know and uses a bunch of commands I used Ubuntu like 7 years ago. :P
[02:01] <Zeraphing> Cant you boot to disc in Vbox?
[02:01] <L1nuxRules> I do and alaways learn for myself its not that hard
[02:01] <aBound> Bash/Zsh.
[02:01] <jen> relink? how must I do that?
[02:01] <aBound> brb
[02:01] <Zeraphing> This may sound stupid but what exactly is shell programming?
[02:02] <jen> so what do I have to do to get it working again?
[02:02] <Reggie> Jen someone would have to run teamviewer or webex to show you
[02:02] <Reggie> too much typing for me to explain
[02:02] <Barnabas> Zeraphing, writing software / functionality in a language that is interpreted and not compiled
[02:02] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: its writing scripts that can be directly executed in your command interpreter or shell
[02:02] <freenodiz> #lucid
[02:02] <L1nuxRules> I do work in 2nd line support and am more naturallt talented than the boys with degrees who are usueless
[02:03] <Zeraphing> is it difficult to do? or just time consuming?
[02:03] <jen> okay I can do that, can someone take a look?
[02:03] <aBound> Back.
[02:03] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: its neither
[02:03] <Barnabas> Zeraphing, same as all other languages
[02:03] <Zeraphing> its not difficult or time consuming?
[02:03] <aBound> Shell scripting is supposed to make your life easier. :P
[02:03] <Reggie> do you have teamviewer?
[02:03] <jen> yes I do
[02:03] <Zeraphing> doesn't it just automate stuff?
[02:03] <Reggie> ok one sec
[02:03] <Barnabas> Zeraphing, what is "time consuming" in your terms .-)
[02:03] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: thats the basic idea
[02:04] <jen> whomever wants to try and fix it just private chat me
[02:04] <Zeraphing> i guess i don't a good definition of 'time consuming'. i have zero experience with shell programming
[02:04] <DrPenguin> Ive written some useful scripts.. like one to make it easier to create things like Projects or Virtual Devices for Android
[02:05] <Reggie> ok jen what's your numbers
[02:05] <Zeraphing> I am going to school for network securities and there are a few programming classes and they are making me really nervous. so i was just asking about it.
[02:05] <L1nuxRules> aBound yeah ity is, what you need help with again?
[02:05] <Reggie> partner ID?
[02:05] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: no need to be nervous ^^ programming is not hard
[02:05] <aBound> L1nuxRules, I got rid of the orange box by logging off.
[02:05] <Barnabas> Zeraphing, to my experience, shell programming is faster in the sense you can immediately execute your code, without the code->compile->test cycle
[02:05] <Barnabas> hence faster turn around
[02:06] <aBound> Zeraphing, There's always Perl scripting too. :P
[02:06] <L1nuxRules> whats that got do do with .sh lol?
[02:06] <Barnabas> but aside from that the process is the same
[02:06] <Zeraphing> hrmm ok. whats Perl scripting?
[02:06] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: scripts written in Perl
[02:06] <DrPenguin> theres also Python Scripting
[02:06] <Barnabas> I strongly suggest python / ruby
[02:06] <Zeraphing> is that just a different editor? whats the difference between all the different editors
[02:06] <L1nuxRules> I am very drunk at the min
[02:06] <aBound> L1nuxRules, Hacker elite. lol
[02:07] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: the command interpreters will be different and different syntax
[02:07] <Zeraphing> syntax?
[02:07] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: yes, syntax refers to what the interpreters or compilers lexer/parser understands so it knows how to execute the code
[02:08] <Zeraphing> does it require a different type of code? or just how it executes commands?
[02:08] <Barnabas> Zeraphing, thats a science in itself
  might also be a very good social reverse engineer and could be a good hacker
[02:08] <Zeraphing> this is all starting to sound very difficult and confusing! lol
[02:08] <aBound> #!perl use strict; use warnings; @countdown_to_new_years = ("5", "4", "3", "2", "1"); print @countdown_to_new_years; :P
[02:09] <Zeraphing> @L1nuxRules...you never know...
[02:09] <aBound> Zeraphing, ^^ is perl's syntax.
[02:10] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: Parsers/Lexers is a huge topic in it of itself. If youd like to learn about Compilers and how they parse the Language we know into language it knows, check out the Dragon book
[02:10] <Zeraphing> The Dragon book?
[02:10] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: Si, thats the name, the Dragon book
[02:11] <L1nuxRules> he is a hacker as he learnt his programming the way I did
[02:11] <Zeraphing> hrm ok.
[02:11] <Barnabas> Zeraphing, if you want to just write some functionality in something that resembles spoken language I suggest python
[02:11] <Barnabas> forget about compiler theory for startes ;-)
[02:12] <Barnabas> starters
[02:12] <Zeraphing> python? ill check that out.
[02:12] <aBound> This keyboard is getting on my nerves I keep hitting the touchpad.
[02:12] <Barnabas> its way beyond what you want
[02:12] <L1nuxRules> hackers artent the same as crackers meither
[02:12] <aBound> Zeraphing, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29
[02:12] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: Python is a lovely language. I am fluent in it and can teach ya if yad like
[02:13] <aBound> Python is built into Ubuntu. :P
[02:13] <L1nuxRules> Python is built into Linux
[02:13] <Zeraphing> I'd be happy to learn some stuff.
[02:13] <Barnabas> in fact is is the basis of many of the gui apps you use in gnome / kde etc
[02:13] <aBound> True that.
[02:13] <DrPenguin> Some of Ubuntus tools are actually written in Python, like Software Center
[02:13] <lego> aBound, you have to use "my" or "our" if you have 'use strict;' :D
[02:13] <DrPenguin> L1nuxRules: that is incorrect, some distros do not use Python, like Arch Linux, so its not built in
[02:13] <aBound> lego, I know I made a mistake. lol
[02:14] <L1nuxRules> Arch Linux is BSD based though
[02:14] <DrPenguin> L1nuxRules: Nope.. Arch Is a derivative of Crux
[02:14] <Zeraphing> so how do i even open python?
[02:14] <aBound> Arch Linux is Linux.
[02:14] <aBound> :P
[02:14] <aBound> Zeraphing, Open a terminal and type: python.
[02:14] <aBound> Zeraphing, To view python's man pages open a terminal and type: man python.
[02:14] <DrPenguin> Zeraphing: by typing "python", or if you have it, idle, its the graphical Python interpreter. It refers to Eric Idle, famous for Monty Python
[02:15] <Barnabas> Zeraphing, if you are on a ubuntu box it should be installed - on windows I belive Iron Python is a good alternative
[02:15] <Barnabas> But I am not an expert in matters Microsoft
[02:15] <DrPenguin> isnt Iron Python a combination of C / Python?
[02:15] <L1nuxRules> Arch doesent follow ~Linux so it isnt in my eyes
[02:15] <aBound> lol
[02:15] <DrPenguin> L1nuxRules: it does follow Linux.. the only BSD'ee thing in it is the Initscripts
[02:16] <aBound>  Now gentoo is a real linux. j/k
[02:16] <Zeraphing> im on ubuntu 11.10
[02:16] <aBound> Portege is inspired by BSD's port system on Gentoo.
[02:16] <L1nuxRules> drpenguin well as soon as I saw init or rc scripts werent working thats why I didnt like it
[02:17] <DrPenguin> L1nuxRules: Arch is a mans Linux ^^ its my distro of choice
[02:17] <L1nuxRules> I have used slackware for years and sorry Arch is going BSD
[02:19] <aBound> Arch going to use the BSD kernel?
[02:19] <DrPenguin> no.. Arch is Linux.. not BSD.. and its not going to BSD
[02:19] <L1nuxRules> probabbly not but they still use there defaults
[02:19] <Zeraphing> I gotta split guys. Thanks for all the help. See ya around.
[02:20] <L1nuxRules> Arch is a Linux distro based on BSD
[02:20] <aBound> I know Debian can use a BSD kernel.
[02:21] <L1nuxRules> Linux can use anything
[02:21] <Barnabas> in fact you can run debian linux in a freebsd jail using a bsd core ..
[02:21] <DrPenguin> Dude L1nuxRules, the only thing BSD like about Arch is its init. its LINUX, not BSD
[02:22] <L1nuxRules> in fact Linux is the kernel but the other kernels are unix/linux and wqould work if they didnt you need to know how to fix
[02:22] <L1nuxRules> not other kernels meant file systems
[02:22] <jen> thank you all! <3 I got virtualbox working
[02:23] <aBound> Woot, jen.
[02:23] <Barnabas> linux is a kernel .. BSD is .. a license ? potatoes and tomatoes
[02:23] <Barnabas> imho
[02:23] <DrPenguin> BSD is a Unix Like OS
[02:23] <Barnabas> no it is a license
[02:23] <Barnabas> first and foremost
[02:23] <osmosis> is there some kind of desktop widgit for ubuntu to track my CPU and RAM use?
[02:24] <jen> but I still cant get itunes to work T_T
[02:24] <Barnabas> FreeBSD has their kernel same as openbsd
[02:24] <Barnabas> or netbsd
[02:24] <aBound> OpenBSD is just a modified bsd kernel.
[02:24] <DrPenguin> Barnabas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution tell me im wrong
[02:24] <Barnabas> aBound, I think a few bsd ppl would disagree with you on that one
[02:24] <Stanley00> osmosis: there is monitor indicator and screenlet
[02:25] <osmosis> Stanley00, how do I get it?
[02:25] <aBound> Barnabas, They'll be outta their minds given there's no reason to rebuild an entirely new kernel.
[02:25] <L1nuxRules> I have always lovecd Linux and coding but Ive never followed the crap
[02:25] <Stanley00> osmosis: search it in Ubuntu Software Center, and there is also conky :D
[02:25] <Stanley00> !info conky | osmosis
[02:25] <aBound> Barnabas, OpenBSD is a Unix-like computer operating system descended from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), a Unix derivative developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It was forked from NetBSD by project leader Theo de Raadt in late 1995
[02:26] <aBound> OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD and NetBSD was forked from FreeBSD.
[02:26] <Barnabas> aBound, I know
[02:26] <aBound> :P
[02:26] <aBound> Same kernel.
[02:26] <Barnabas> not anymore
[02:26] <Stanley00> hey guys, I think it is somehow off-topic here
[02:26] <Barnabas> the scheduler is vastly different between openbsd and freebsd
[02:26] <jen> anyone think they can get my itunes to work on virtualbox?
[02:26] <aBound> Barnabas, That's why I used the term: modified.
[02:27] <DrPenguin> jen: why not?
[02:27] <Barnabas> again potatoes and tomatoes
[02:27] <aBound> hehe
[02:27] <L1nuxRules> arch linux > 2&>1 /dev/null
[02:27]  * Barnabas have fiddled a lot with things bsd
[02:27] <aBound> Mac OS X uses partial BSD sockets code.
[02:27] <Barnabas> yep
[02:28] <Barnabas> due to the license
[02:28] <jen> DrPenguin, well I think I have everything installed that it needs it just wont bring it up anymore when I plug in my ipod, it works on ubuntu side but not windows
[02:28] <aBound> It'd be hard not to think that all these other forks from FreeBSD aren't using the BSD kernel.
[02:28] <Barnabas> GPL ruled linux out there
[02:28] <L1nuxRules> mac os is unix based like Linux is but it isnt Linux
[02:28] <Stanley00> !ot | Barnabas aBound
[02:28] <DrPenguin> jen: you need to forward the ipod to the Virtual Session
[02:28] <aBound> We gotcha stanley. :P
[02:28] <Barnabas> check
[02:28] <jen> DrPenguin, how do I go that?
[02:29] <jen> do*
[02:29] <aBound> Barnabas, We better shut it before we get the boot. lol
[02:29] <DrPenguin> jen: theres a device manager in virtual box, look at that
[02:29] <overclucker> yo udon't have to shut it, just continue in off topic
[02:30] <Barnabas> hmm am not really using ubuntu / unity but ubuntu / gnome3 - is there a group for that ?
[02:30] <Barnabas> perhaps I should go there
[02:30] <Barnabas> channel
[02:31] <jen> DrPenguin, so add a usb filter?
[02:31] <Stanley00> Barnabas: I think many people here use gnome3 too :D
[02:31] <Barnabas> you should really make two channels
[02:31] <DrPenguin> jen: I guess? I dont relaly use virtual box I use Workstation
[02:31] <jen> whats workstation?
[02:31] <L1nuxRules> Loves Linuxand hates windoes
[02:32] <DrPenguin> jen: VMWare Workstation
[02:32] <L1nuxRules> and is very drunk lol
[02:33] <jen> hung dont see that, well if anyone can help me I would be thankful
[02:33] <DrPenguin> jen: yeah I suppose a USB Filter will work
[02:34] <aBound> L1nuxRules, I might reinstall Ubuntu for new years.
[02:34] <jen> I need guest additions and I have no idea why it wont download it >:O
[02:35] <aBound> Even though that's crazy.
[02:35] <L1nuxRules> aBound Linux doesent work like windows
[02:35] <aBound> I know haha
[02:35] <DrPenguin> jen: you have a guest additions iso.. Windows doesnt have a native iso mounter (maybe win 7 does im not sure)
[02:35] <aBound> Just for the hell of it. hehe
[02:35] <jen> but but but oii
[02:35] <aBound> Probably won't do it it'll make me to tired.
[02:35] <Barnabas> jen : daemon tools as far as I recall
[02:36] <jen> is workstation easier =_=
[02:36] <L1nuxRules> lmaso good new year aBound :)
[02:36] <aBound> haha
[02:37] <aBound> Would of been nice if 12.04 were released for a new year.
[02:37] <aBound> :P
[02:37] <_rb> will ubuntu 32 run on a 64 bit machine?
[02:37] <DrPenguin> yes
[02:37] <Orthebox> Why does ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso not mount on mac?
[02:38] <agamemnus> hello again
[02:38] <L1nuxRules> dont know really I drug deal day to day
[02:38] <jen> DrPenguin, is workstation easier?
[02:38] <DrPenguin> Orthebox: thats not very help ful
[02:38] <DrPenguin> jen: I love workstation, but it aint free
[02:38] <agamemnus> I need just one library now but I don't know what it's called.. any suggestions?
[02:38] <Orthebox> DrPenguin: ?
[02:38] <agamemnus> The error in my compiler is: " ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient"
[02:38] <DrPenguin> agamemnus: um, that doesnt really help, theres MANY libraries
[02:38] <jen> awww shoot I'll wait for Ken XD
[02:38] <DrPenguin> agamemnus: oh thats helpful
[02:39] <agamemnus> any ideas for mysql libs?
[02:39] <agamemnus> just client libs
[02:39] <agamemnus> i don't need a whole server
[02:39] <DrPenguin> maybe lib-mysql? or libmysql? dunno you can search symaptics for packages
[02:39] <agamemnus> what would the syntax on this be?
[02:39] <Barnabas> agamemnus, or install aptitude
[02:39] <agamemnus> (I downloaded getlibs btw)
[02:39] <aBound> Alright guys have a happy Ubuntu year I'm off to wonderland. :)
[02:39] <Barnabas> aptitude search mysql
[02:40] <Barnabas> should give you a list of all things mysql
[02:41] <agamemnus> now i need to install aptitude
[02:41] <Barnabas> sudo apt-get install aptitude
[02:41] <trism> agamemnus: libmysqlclient-dev
[02:41] <agamemnus> thanks
[02:41] <DrPenguin> you can also do apt-cache search mysql
[02:41] <agamemnus> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[02:41] <miccoli1> does anyone know how i activate focus follows mouse?
[02:41] <agamemnus> I'll try that, trism
[02:41] <DrPenguin> agamemnus: sudo !!
[02:42] <agamemnus> oh, ok
[02:42] <L1nuxRules> Happy new year evryone one Linux FTW!
[02:42] <L1nuxRules> good night
[02:42] <Barnabas> yeah happy 2012
[02:42] <Barnabas> may it be a good one
[02:43] <miccoli1> anyone? im using ubuntu/fluxbox
[02:43] <agamemnus> that actually installed, trism
[02:43] <agamemnus> crap
[02:44] <Barnabas> agamemnus, what happens if you type mysql in a terminal ?
[02:44] <agamemnus> "ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so when searching for -lmysqlclient ............ ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a when searching for -lmysqlclient"
[02:44] <Barnabas> should be the terminal client
[02:44] <agamemnus> hold on hold on
[02:44] <DrPenguin> agamemnus: you probably needd the one for the right architecture
[02:44] <Barnabas> mysql -u <user> -p
[02:44] <agamemnus> I need it for a 32-bit compiler
[02:44] <Barnabas> as far as I recall
[02:45] <agamemnus> I'm using a 64-bit Ubuntu build
[02:45] <agamemnus> ok, so what now?
[02:45] <Barnabas> you tell us :-)
[02:46] <agamemnus> Barnabas: it tells me where the program can be found
[02:46] <jen> does itunes work in wine?
[02:46] <DrPenguin> jen: not too well im afraid
[02:46] <jen> why so?
[02:46] <agamemnus> i'll try to install the client package
[02:46] <DrPenguin> jen: couldnt tell you, Ive used it in wine and it doesnt work right
[02:46] <agamemnus> but i suck at this
[02:47] <Barnabas> The program 'mysql' can be found in the following packages:
[02:47] <Barnabas>  * mysql-client-core-5.1
[02:47] <Barnabas>  * mysql-cluster-client-5.1
[02:47] <agamemnus> sudo apt-get mysql-client-core-5.1 doesn't work
[02:47] <jen> does it get music on the ipod?
[02:47] <Barnabas> something like that
[02:47] <DrPenguin> agamemnus: sudo apt-get install
[02:47] <agamemnus> oh, oops
[02:47] <DrPenguin> jen: it doesnt even run
[02:47] <jen> oh
[02:47] <jen> well ima try it anyways
[02:48] <agamemnus> guys, still the same error now but with more stuff:
[02:48] <agamemnus> oh no wait
[02:48] <agamemnus> yes, the same errors
[02:48] <agamemnus> i'll try the other one
[02:49] <milo_> Hey guys
[02:49] <_rb> I am trying to create a bootable on a USB but disk creator on ubuntu 10.04 tells me installation failed and nothing more.
[02:49] <jen> whats best to put music on my apple ipod touch?
[02:49] <Barnabas> _rb, is the stick large enough for the image ?
[02:49] <milo_> Trying to install a network manager for Kubuntu. If you guys have any recommendations...
[02:49] <agamemnus> now I just get "ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient" again.
[02:50] <_rb> Barnabas It shows 3.7 Gig
[02:50] <agamemnus> i did sudo apt-get install on both of those , the client-core and cluster-client
[02:51] <jen> does anyone know?
[02:51] <agamemnus> i just did aptitude search mysql
[02:51] <agamemnus> that's a lot
[02:51] <Vaelstrom> Dinner time, brb.
[02:51] <ertyuiop99> "Failed to open device (/dev/input/event3): Failed to open device /dev/input/event3 (13)
[02:51] <ertyuiop99> "  Same with event 2,1, and 0.  Any way to fix this?
[02:51] <jutnux> so confused
[02:51] <agamemnus> this is terrible
[02:52] <Barnabas> agamemnus, could you post an output of uname -a
[02:52] <rectec> Quick question. Have any of you been updated to Firefox 9 yet? It's been out for weeks and I still haven't recieved an update. When is it coming?
[02:52] <Barnabas> I think you have some 32 / 64bit confusion going on
[02:52] <agamemnus> Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:52] <agamemnus> but the compiler is 32-bit
[02:53] <bunnyfun> does Linux 2.6.32-37-generic x86_64 identify the kernel or the hardware?
[02:53] <Barnabas> why would you want a 32 bit compiler for a 64 bit platform
[02:53] <Barnabas> unless cross compiling
[02:53] <rileyp> when I type this from a terminal it works but in a script it doesnt whats wrong?  echo -e "VOLM20  \r" > /dev/ttyUSB0
[02:53] <mgokay> jen: i use xp as a virtual machine on virtualbox. Connect my ipod this virtual machine and transfer music from itunes.
[02:53] <agamemnus> it's the only one that's available
[02:53] <agamemnus> perhaps libmysqlclient16
[02:53] <Barnabas> ? gcc is 64 bit
[02:53] <agamemnus> I'm using FBC
[02:54] <Barnabas> aah ok
[02:54] <agamemnus> though, it may be using gcc there actually
[02:54] <Barnabas> don't know that compiler
[02:54] <agamemnus> actually I do have an option to compile with gcc but it's really buggy
[02:54] <agamemnus> i'll try it
[02:54] <bunnyfun> what is the command to identify a running kernel?
[02:54] <Barnabas> buggy .. i would say a 32 bit compiler on a 64 bit platform is basically buggy :-)
[02:54] <bunnyfun> (as 32 or 64)
[02:55] <DrPenguin> bunnyfun: uname -r
[02:55] <agamemnus> " error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set" :|
[02:55] <Barnabas> you will have issues executing the code on your 64 bit platform as well
[02:55] <bunnyfun> thanks
[02:55] <DrPenguin> -m not -r
[02:55] <bunnyfun> lol ok
[02:55] <bonhoffer> in a control that i am calling via remote: true, how do i prevent the js.erb from being rendered
[02:56] <jen> mgokay, well I cant it wont recognize my ipod when I plug it in
[02:56] <bonhoffer> for example if a user is adding things repeatedly
[02:56] <Barnabas> for executing 32 bit code on a 64 bit platform you need the ia32 libs afaik
[02:56] <agamemnus> I already haves it
[02:56] <Barnabas> but just dont do that :-)
[02:56] <agamemnus> i have to.
[02:56] <Barnabas> why
[02:56] <agamemnus> because!
[02:56] <Barnabas> well then
[02:56] <bonhoffer> i can check in the view if the fields exist via jquery, but rails knows there is no change -- i typically would do a redirect_to :back or something, but here the method was called via ajax
[02:57] <Barnabas> I suggest using a 64 bit compiler that fits your execution  platform
[02:57] <agamemnus> it won't compile with the gcc option... and when I set the -fpu option it says it doesn't know what that option is :|
[02:57] <Barnabas> man gcc
[02:57] <agamemnus> this is the only compiler
[02:57] <Barnabas> nonsense :-)
[02:57] <rectec> Quick question. Have any of you been updated to Firefox 9 yet? It's been out for weeks and I still haven't recieved an update. When is it coming?
[02:57] <agamemnus> for Freebasic
[02:57] <agamemnus> :|
[02:57] <Barnabas> ahh
[02:57] <Barnabas> ok
[02:58] <Barnabas> xbasic?
[02:58] <trism> rectec: it is in proposed, it will likely land in updates soon
[02:58] <Barnabas> I thought we where in c / c++ realm
[02:59] <agamemnus> we are, sort of
[02:59] <agamemnus> I don't really know how the compiler works, to be honest.
[02:59] <rectec> trism: Alright. Is there a page with the status of the release or something?
[02:59] <rileyp> when I type this from a terminal it works but in a script it doesnt whats wrong?  echo -e "VOLM20  \r" > /dev/ttyUSB0
[02:59] <agamemnus> i think it asks for a c++ library and somehow adds it in
[02:59] <agamemnus> or rather, C.
[03:00] <agamemnus> libmysqlclient16 isn't it.
[03:00] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: what's the problem again?
[03:00] <itsnotabigtruck> do ls /usr/lib/*mysql*
[03:00] <agamemnus> when I try to compile, my compiler gives me a missing library error: "ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient"
[03:00] <_rb> maybe the problem I am having with startup disk creator is file permission. What is the least restrictive file permission I can have?
[03:01] <Barnabas> itsnotabigtruck, the basic compiler hes using on a 64 bit platform is a 32 bit one
[03:01] <Barnabas> hence it cannot find the correct runtime libraries
[03:01] <itsnotabigtruck> Barnabas: ohh...is this 11.10? sounds like a multiarch apt problem
[03:01] <itsnotabigtruck> i was just reading earlier today about how that tends to screw everything up
[03:01] <Barnabas> itsnotabigtruck, dont know
[03:01] <agamemnus> libmysqlclient16 should be it though, right?
[03:02] <Barnabas> itsnotabigtruck, do not code anything on 32 bit or in basic
[03:02] <agamemnus> :[
[03:02] <agamemnus> it all works great in windows, but I need to get this on a server
[03:02] <rectec> trism: nvm I found a thread on the Forums about it. Thanks!
[03:02] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: ok, so, what version of ubuntu is it
[03:02] <Barnabas> well the allocation size is beside the point - nothing in basic ..
[03:03] <agamemnus> i dunno, I downloaded it a few days ago
[03:03] <agamemnus> how do I even check?
[03:03] <itsnotabigtruck> oh, also, http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/amd64/libmysqlclient16/filelist
[03:03] <agamemnus> wait I got it
[03:03] <agamemnus> It's 11.1
[03:04] <rileyp> when I type this from a terminal it works but in a script it doesnt whats wrong?  echo -e "VOLM20  \r" > /dev/ttyUSB0
[03:04] <agamemnus> 11.10
[03:04] <itsnotabigtruck> ok, so it looks like it's supposed to be -lmysqlclient, as you already have, agamemnus
[03:04] <Barnabas> agamemnus, where did you get your linux basic compiler?
[03:04] <itsnotabigtruck> 11.10 allows you to install amd64 and i386 packages at the same time
[03:04] <agamemnus> Barnabas: http://superb-sea2.dl.sourceforge.net/project/fbc/Binaries%20-%20Linux/FreeBASIC-0.23.0-linux.run
[03:04] <Barnabas> aarh the plot thickens ..
[03:05] <Barnabas> that package is probably 32 bit
[03:05] <Barnabas> or "package"
[03:05] <jen> anyone good with virtuabox?
[03:05] <Barnabas> not really a package is it?
[03:05] <agamemnus> yeah, like I said, they haven't compiled it for 64.
[03:05] <agamemnus> It's a linux.run file.
[03:05] <Barnabas> its a shell run file
[03:05] <agamemnus> There are three different ones actually
[03:05] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: oh lovely...ok, so download the source
[03:05] <itsnotabigtruck> compile that
[03:05] <Barnabas> preciscely
[03:05] <itsnotabigtruck> before you do that, purge everything related to freebasic you have now
[03:06] <Barnabas> agree
[03:06] <itsnotabigtruck> also, you might need to do some configure stuff to make it install to /usr/local and not /usr
[03:06] <agamemnus> I don't know how to compile it.
[03:06] <itsnotabigtruck> ./configure, make, make install :D
[03:06] <itsnotabigtruck> jen: what about it?
[03:06] <agamemnus> so there would be absolutely no way as it is now to get the mysql client lib working then?
[03:06] <itsnotabigtruck> i've only used it on windows
[03:06] <agamemnus> because of the 64/32-bit incompatibility?
[03:06] <jen> well...I cant get my itunes to work on it
[03:07] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: even if you did it wouldn't be a good idea
[03:07] <jen> it will not recognize my ipod
[03:07] <agamemnus> why not?
[03:07] <itsnotabigtruck> putting binaries on a linux system, that aren't for your specific distro, is a really bad idea, usually
[03:07] <itsnotabigtruck> because of things like this
[03:07] <agamemnus> oh, not only that..
[03:07] <agamemnus> but I'm going to put it on CentOS
[03:07] <agamemnus> Mouahahahahaha
[03:07] <agamemnus> Total fail?
[03:07] <itsnotabigtruck> jen: did you turn on usb redirection
[03:08] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: ffs, then go load up centos and test with that :p
[03:08] <itsnotabigtruck> you could use virtualbox or something
[03:08] <itsnotabigtruck> and in the future, avoid freebasic like the plague, heh
[03:08] <agamemnus> I actually downloaded it, but I don't think centOS would be as user-friendly as ubuntu
[03:08] <jen> i hav no idea what that means
[03:08] <agamemnus> because.. i like... have no idea what to do with it
[03:09] <agamemnus> i have this image file
[03:09] <agamemnus> of centOS
[03:09] <itsnotabigtruck> jen: well, in the menus, you can tell it to hook a usb device up to the vm, right
[03:09] <agamemnus> and.. that's it
[03:09] <itsnotabigtruck> so you go and select the ipod in the menu
[03:09] <itsnotabigtruck> and it'll connect the ipod to the vm
[03:09] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: the image file is an ISO, right?
[03:09] <jen> nnnya? I dont know where that is, it says usb
[03:09] <agamemnus> umm yes probably.
[03:09] <itsnotabigtruck> jen: in the menus
[03:09] <Barnabas> agamemnus, have you googled (hard) for a real FreeBasic ubuntu repo?
[03:09] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: you burn it to a disc, boot off of it, install it
[03:10] <itsnotabigtruck> if you use virtualbox, you can go into the properties of the virtual machine, and load the iso file
[03:10] <agamemnus> Barnabas: that's how I went from 20 compile errors to 1
[03:10] <itsnotabigtruck> and it'll look like a real cd to the virtual machin
[03:10] <jen> I have device filters?
[03:10] <Barnabas> agamemnus, what you have now (your sh file) is not a debian / ubuntu repo
[03:10] <Barnabas> it is actually anything else
[03:10] <agamemnus> I think I actually loaded it, but not sure. Someone has to hold my hands
[03:11] <siloxid> what command can I run to see how much RAM I have?  I have ubuntu 10.10
[03:11] <agamemnus> the sh file?
[03:11] <Zeraphing> Whats a good program to share my desktop with another user?
[03:11] <agamemnus> what sh file lolz?
[03:11] <DrPenguin> siloxid: free or cat /proc/meminfo
[03:11] <jen> itsnotabigtruck, I dont really know what you are talking about
[03:11] <DrPenguin> agamemnus: an "sh" file is a POSIX shell script
[03:11] <Barnabas> your "run" file
[03:11] <agamemnus> Ah
[03:12] <Barnabas> is anything else than an ubuntu repo
[03:12] <Barnabas> file
[03:12] <agamemnus> I'll try installing one of the other versions
[03:12] <Barnabas> and if you installed it removing it could be tricky
[03:12] <itsnotabigtruck> jen: maybe it looks different in the linux version...but after you start the virtual machine
[03:12] <agamemnus> And hope
[03:12] <itsnotabigtruck> in the menus, one of them lets you select usb devices
[03:12] <Barnabas> hope - something you do in Church on sundays ..
[03:12] <jen> oh yes, it doesnt even say theres something hooked up
[03:12] <agamemnus> that's pray :X
[03:12] <agamemnus> i might pray too
[03:12] <Barnabas> same thing ..
[03:13] <Barnabas> it will not help you
[03:13] <Barnabas> you need to 1) find a compatible repo to add to your system for installing in debian / ubuntu
[03:13] <jen> itsnotabigtruck, it says no usb attached
[03:13] <Barnabas> 2) compile from scratch
[03:13] <Barnabas> but firstly remove what you have already installed
[03:13] <itsnotabigtruck> jen: oh...no idea
[03:14] <itsnotabigtruck> Barnabas: 'cept i don't think one exists
[03:14] <itsnotabigtruck> freebasic looks like a dead project
[03:14] <jen> aiiiii =_=
[03:14] <agamemnus> :|
[03:14] <itsnotabigtruck> libfreebasic used to be in debian and ubuntu, then it got dropped
[03:14] <itsnotabigtruck> i bet it was dead before ubuntu was a big deal
[03:14] <agamemnus> we don't have a lot of devs
[03:14] <agamemnus> it's new!
[03:14] <agamemnus> ish
[03:14] <agamemnus> started in about 2005
[03:14] <Barnabas> itsnotabigtruck, well installing a 32 bit "run" file on a 64 bit platform and hoping for a linker to figure that out is a dead end imho
[03:15] <itsnotabigtruck> ok, the freebasic repo is getting commits, so it's not dead
[03:15] <itsnotabigtruck> but they aren't taking ubuntu support seriously then
[03:15] <agamemnus> a few people have tried it but all the library dependencies keep changing
[03:15] <itsnotabigtruck> which is surprising
[03:15] <agamemnus> and I guess no one has used mysql yet with ubuntu
[03:15] <agamemnus> and freebasic.
[03:16] <itsnotabigtruck> agamemnus: anyway, read up about compiling stuff on linux...it's easy
[03:16] <itsnotabigtruck> lose the run file
[03:16] <Barnabas> agamemnus, your prime problem is the basic platform compability
[03:16] <itsnotabigtruck> well, it can be easy
[03:16] <agamemnus> the target of fbc is a gcc front end
[03:16] <itsnotabigtruck> since the actual target isn't ubuntu anyway, just forget about this entirely
[03:16] <itsnotabigtruck> you seem to be just creating problems for yourself w/ this
[03:16] <agamemnus> No,
[03:16] <agamemnus> I mean the development target

[03:33] <html> well try again so i can get the error
[03:34] <iiu7>  I'm using newspost to post on Usenet, but I wonder if there exists a tool for Ubuntu for creating NZB files (not gui)?
[03:34] <html> jen,
[03:35] <jen> hold on
[03:35] <ubuntu> is there a way that I can have a persistance file larger than 4 gb, mine is limited with startup disk creator (32 gb sd card)
[03:37] <spaoc> no.
[03:38] <jen> I dont think its working
[03:39] <ubuntu> is there a way with a different program?
[03:40] <jen> html, no it doesnt work
[03:40] <html> jen,  so what is the error it gives you?
[03:40] <jen> it just doesnt do anything when I try to sync a song
[03:41] <html> did you make sure you have the codecs to run the app?
[03:42] <jen> codecs?
[03:42] <jen> whats that?
[03:43] <Pazooza> It's the descramblers.
[03:43] <Pazooza> Hey, can KDE and gnome coexist friendly?
[03:43] <html> its the  jen
[03:44] <html> its the  jen http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/multimedia/f/codec.htm
[03:44] <jen> the what?
[03:44] <jen> Im not sure
[03:46] <html> jen its what computer and devices that can tell what a fill is,, from a song/or a rss feed(mp3) to a youtube video or a dvd
[03:46] <jen> I beleive so?

[03:48] <Pazooza> How do you get a list, /list don't seem to do nothing with this Qwebirc.
[03:49] <html> the check the boxes in the gtkipd app  ,, check all the boxes jen
[03:49] <SachinDey> Computers are illiterate and they need to learn,
[03:49] <SachinDey> Codecs are a sort of libraries that tell the computer what to do with a specific multimedia file
[03:49] <pangolin> !alis | Pazooza
[03:49] <jen> wait where the heck are these boxes?
[03:50] <SachinDey> Codecs teaches the computer how to read those multimedia files
[03:51] <html> jen,  do you know where you got the program?
[03:51] <jen> oh under prefereences
[03:51] <Bunie> Hey guys! I've been considering switching my server machine over to ubuntu, had a quick question
[03:51] <jen> all the plugins?
[03:52] <html> well try it
[03:52] <helli0n> whats your question?
[03:52] <Bunie> well, it's not only a server machine, it's also what i use from time to time as a personal computer. :P anyways, it has 4GB of ram, was wondering if i should go for a 64-bit build or not
[03:52] <html> under "more info" its there
[03:53] <Bunie> I tried a 64-bit ubuntu a while back and had a bad experience with it, i like Wine and such
[03:53] <Bunie> harder to find drivers, etc.
[03:54] <jen> okay i have all the plugins done and stuff
[03:55] <html> jen, ok it might take a bit to kick in...
[03:55] <Bunie> also if i dont like the new Interface, is there an alternative distro, or an easy way to get the old interface back?
[03:55] <jen> okie doke
[03:56] <jen> stll doesnt work
[03:56] <jen> can you take a look?
[03:56] <html> jen,  just in case u mught need to restart
[03:57] <html> jen,  i though i was ,,, or you mean something else?
[03:57] <jen> teamviewer or something
[03:58] <html> jen,  just to be clear you want to play a song or something?
[03:58] <jen> I will play the song
[03:59] <jmscomtech> wats withh #ubuntu-unregged? im already registerd but iot keeps asking if im a bot
[03:59] <jen> it works
[03:59] <jen> the song works
[04:00] <Resistance> jmscomtech:  are you identified?
[04:00] <jen> but syncing doesnt
[04:00] <jmscomtech> yes
[04:00] <jmscomtech> always identified upon login
[04:00] <Resistance> jmscomtech:  are you identified before trying to join the channel?
[04:00] <Resistance> :p
[04:00] <jmscomtech> yes
[04:00] <Resistance> jmscomtech:  you might've been caught in the throttles
[04:00] <Resistance> i.e. the join throttle
[04:00] <jmscomtech> hmm maybe
[04:00] <html> jmccrohan,  its been doing that today , ,, but just go with it
[04:01] <jen> html, well the song works
[04:02] <html> jen,  so did it work before i helped you, or just now?
[04:02] <jen> the song works but I cant get anything on my ipod
[04:03] <jen> im prolly doing something wrong
[04:03] <Bunie> Cmon someone help out a linux nub Q~Q
[04:04] <jen> watcha need bunie?
[04:04] <jen> html, improlly doing something wrong
[04:04] <html> jen,  im still thinkin its the codecs ,,,, so google ipod codecs .... and see what you get
[04:05] <Bunie> Does wine have a 64-bit build?
[04:05] <Bunie> and if not, is 4GB of ram fine for a 32-bit build of Ubuntu?
[04:05] <DrPenguin> Bunie: wine works on 64bit
[04:05] <jen> Bunie,  i think it all depends on your computer, wine will work with anything im sure
[04:05] <html> Bunie,  of course ,,,  lot  but i will get you the hope ,,,
[04:06] <jen> my ipod has mp4 or 3 or what not, its the app
[04:06] <Bunie> i had a bad experience with 64-bit ubuntu a long while back, with drivers and such. if i were you, with 4GB of ram, wich would you go with?
[04:06] <html> jen,  just a sec
[04:06] <rileyp> Is there an easy way i can send commands to my serial port via irexec
[04:07] <rileyp> Is there an easy way i can send commands to my serial port via a script
[04:07] <DrPenguin> rileyp: naively, you should just be able to send data to the port by echoing to the device node
[04:07] <Bunie> if you were me* lols
[04:08] <Bunie> and wich is faster/better, XFCE or LDE? :P
[04:08] <DrPenguin> Bunie: imho LXDE
[04:08] <Bunie> faster/more ram efficient.. Basically wich one serves its purpose better
[04:08] <rileyp> yeah I know i can use this in terminal and it work s echo -e "VOLM18  \r" >/dev/ttyUSB0
[04:08] <rileyp> Bunie but in a script it does not
[04:09] <DrPenguin> rileyp: whether its in a script or in terminal, that will work the same
[04:09] <rileyp> no it s not for me
[04:09] <Bunie> trying to pick out wich ubuntu distro is for me :P are they all well supported? I've also wondered, i know Ubuntu gets system updates, However, when something such as, ubuntu 12 comes out, will i be updated to it, or will i need to reinstall?
[04:09] <rileyp> my script contains exact same text and when i run the script i get an err
[04:09] <DrPenguin> rileyp: well that doesnt make sense.. whats the error
[04:10] <rileyp> but from terminal the tv responds and say ok
[04:11] <html> http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html   jen is this urs
[04:11] <Bunie> is Lubuntu ran/handled by the same team as Ubuntu? Updates and support and such?
[04:12] <Resistance> Bunie:  i think they have their own dev team...
[04:12] <Resistance> but sometimes they show up in here
[04:12] <html> jen, ?
[04:12] <jen> the black one yes
[04:12] <Resistance> !lubuntu | Bunie
[04:12] <jen> html, the black one yes
[04:12] <html> !ipod
[04:12] <Resistance> Bunie:  that should sufficiently answer your question, but feel free to ask away in here.
[04:12] <html> jen would u like to pm?
[04:13] <jen> yeah
[04:13] <rileyp> I know its crazy echo -e "VOLM18  \r" >/dev/ttyUSB0 works to change volume on my tv when ran from a terminal directly. when I creat a script that contains exact same text and make it executible it does not work
[04:13] <DrPenguin> rileyp: that doesnt help. you need to tell us WHAT is going wrong
[04:13] <html> !RockBox
[04:14] <Bunie> Resistance: Thanks :D I joined their a second ago. I'm really interested in switching over to a linux distro, but like any windows user, i need to be weened lols
[04:14] <rileyp> I even added a line echo this is crazy and the text comes up
[04:14] <DrPenguin> rileyp: dude. stop being cryptic. stop with the side tracking. just TELL us whats wrong
[04:14] <html> jen,  ok im pming u
[04:14] <Resistance> Bunie:  heh, well all the Ubuntu distros are decent, but imo, 11.10 has a mess of problems with it, bugs and what not.
[04:15] <Resistance> Bunie:  and fwiw, i'm a KDE user, and i help GNOME users here :P
[04:15] <Resistance> case-in-point for non-GNOME users showing up in the standard ubuntu channel
[04:15] <Bunie> Resistance: I think i've chosen lubuntu as my distro, it looks the most windows like and i've been told by a complete stranger that it has the highest performance
[04:16] <rileyp> so the script runs but the tv responds with err when I view the serial port using cat  I dont know waht other info i can provide
[04:16] <Resistance> Bunie:  IMO performance is dependent on hardware and use-case of an OS
[04:16] <Resistance> Bunie:  most techies will agree with that
[04:16] <DrPenguin> rileyp: i dont know maybe the error would be nice...
[04:17] <rileyp> DrPenguin,  the tv volume doesnt change and the tv responds via the serial port err
[04:17] <Bunie> Resistance: the pc im installing it on has a poor graphics card, i dont think it'd handle all that pretty stuff gnome does too well
[04:17] <DrPenguin> rileyp: ok, your dancing around the issue, your not answering my quesitons, im done with you . figure it out on your own
[04:17] <Resistance> Bunie:  xfce's relatively low resource, fwiw
[04:18] <rileyp> DrPenguin,  I'm sorry i want help but I dont know how to find the problem
[04:18] <Bunie> Resistance: Sorry for spamming you guys lol but like, i use Firefox nightly, from here http://nightly.mozilla.org/ will this be a simple install as it is on windows? (is that linux build compatable, i mean)
[04:18] <Resistance> Bunie:  standby, got to fix one of my bots in one of my projects' channels
[04:19] <rileyp> DrPenguin,  i really appreciate your help I thought it may be syntax error in the way echo needs to used in a script rather than from a terminal
[04:20] <freenodiz> > hi,I have a noobquestion.Imagine i set my hostname to "plato" andthe domainused to make the FQDN is "mydomain.com".It'srecommended the use of the "domain.com"toserve web pages in the server?Or should ihave tocreate vhosts?what i don#t really get isthedifference in the usage of the FQDN and domains that are set with the vhosts...
[04:21] <freenodiz> arghhh...sry,i hate ice chat...if i copy and paste the text get togheter
[04:25] <bluezone_> What the succes rate in upgrading to 10.10?
[04:25] <bluezone_> should i bother backing up my files?
[04:26] <mebigfatguy> yes
[04:26] <Resistance> bluezone_:  the success rate is irrelevant for backing up your files.  ***ALWAYS*** back up your files
[04:27] <bluezone_> Resistance: well i dont really have anything important on here... hmmmm
[04:27] <Resistance> bluezone_:  you should always back up your files, but note that 10.10 is almost EOL, only a few months left in its lifespan (if i recall correctly)

[04:51] <pconwell> Question: When installing ubuntu server, there is an option to install the package "virtualization host" (or something similar)... What is it installing?
[04:51] <pconwell> KVM?
[04:52] <TheAncientGoat> Hi, I installed openjdk-7-jre and openjdk-6-jre:386 successfully, and then tried installing openjdk-7-jre:i386 which gave me errors, so I uninstalled all of my java packages
[04:52] <TheAncientGoat> that still didn't work, so I reinstalled all the java packages
[04:53] <TheAncientGoat> and now they show up as installed, but when I enter java into the command line, it says that it isnt installed
[04:53] <TheAncientGoat> I can see the java binaries
[04:53] <TheAncientGoat> but It isn't linked into /usr/bin
[04:53] <pconwell> TheAncientGoat: what happens if you try update-alterntives... or whatever the command it?
[04:53] <TheAncientGoat> yeah, says there arent any alternatives
[04:54] <pconwell> where do they show up installed? Symentic?
[04:54] <TheAncientGoat> yeah
[04:54] <TheAncientGoat> and in apt-get
[04:54] <TheAncientGoat> and yes, I did try re-installing them
[04:54] <pconwell> and what happens if you try to re-uninstall them?
[04:54] <TheAncientGoat> hmm, lemme try purging them
[04:55] <pconwell> yeah, I was about to say try sudo aptitude remove --purge blah blah
[04:56] <skilz> In firefox is there anyway to customize the Downloads window as to remove the search bar and or 'Clear List' button?
[04:56] <TheAncientGoat> I should actually reinstall
[04:56] <TheAncientGoat> because I selected btrfs as my root partition
[04:56] <TheAncientGoat> :|

[05:14] <puff_> umm I have another box running 11.1 right now
[05:14] <puff_> it updated last night
[05:15] <ThomasBoxley> puff_: there's 11.04 and 11.10, no such thing as 11.1

[05:15] <Bunie> Hey guys im curious about Linux and defragmenting
[05:15] <quiescens> that's really very pedantic considering the lack of relevance
[05:15] <quiescens> lol
[05:15] <spaoc> NO.
[05:15] <puff_> it's called fsck
[05:15] <pangolin> !defrag | Bunie
[05:15] <spaoc> hi pangolin
[05:16] <_rb_> what is the best way to install flash on Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit?
[05:16] <Bunie> I've read places that say, Linux doesnt need to defragment. But logic tells me based on how disks write, any system would need to.
[05:16] <pconwell> quiescens: not really. 11.1 would imply a release in january, 11.10 is realease in OCT... as in 10th month
[05:16] <puff_> oddly it has not prompted the update as of yet\
[05:16] <xangua> _rb_: with the software center
[05:17] <spaoc> badgolin
[05:17] <spaoc> mangolin
[05:17] <xangua> _rb_: you can also go to adobe.com
[05:17] <ThomasBoxley> puff_: It's not going to prompt any update. There is no update from 11.04 to 11.10. They're two different release versions of Ubuntu.
[05:17] <ThomasBoxley> puff_: Well, there's the dist upgrade, but why not just install 11.10 in the firstp lace?
[05:18] <pconwell> Hey, I asked this a min ago, but no one responded, so I'll ask again (I don't want to be annoying)
[05:18] <pangolin> puff_: run: sudo do-release-upgrade
[05:18] <pconwell> Question: When installing ubuntu server, there is an option to install the package "virtualization host" (or something similar)... What is it installing?
[05:18] <ThomasBoxley> pconwell: packages to make virtualization of Ubuntu server easier.
[05:19] <pconwell> KVM?
[05:19] <puff_> my iso was not 11.10
[05:19] <ThomasBoxley> puff_: Was it 11.04?
[05:19] <puff_> lemme check
[05:19] <_rb_> xangua in adobe.com I have .rpm and .tar, which should I do?
[05:20] <DrPenguin> _rb_: the tar should be the source to compile.. the rpm can be converted ot a deb with alien
[05:20] <puff_> 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[05:20] <_rb_> DrPenguin, woosh. Way over my head.
[05:20] <ThomasBoxley> puff_: that doesn't say the version of Ubuntu you're running
[05:20] <puff_> where do I get version?
[05:20] <quiescens> puff_: lsb_release -a
[05:21] <dr_willis> _rb_:  its best to use the software center to install flash
[05:21] <puff_> Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
[05:21] <puff_> Release:	11.04
[05:21] <puff_> Codename:	natty
[05:21] <xangua> _rb_: weird, adobe.com no longer mention the partner repositosi; but like i said first you can install it with the software center
[05:21] <jeaton> anybody else turned off by ubuntu 11.XX because of Unity?
[05:21] <xangua> partner repository*
[05:21] <puff_> geebus it be da natty dread
[05:21] <pangolin> puff_: run: sudo do-release-upgrade
[05:21] <robin0800> _rb_: there should also be a 32bit deb on their site
[05:21] <ThomasBoxley> puff_: yes, running sudo do-release-upgrade will upgrade you to 11.10
[05:21] <overclucker> _rb_: adobe does provide a deb
[05:21] <pconwell> jeaton: I was at first... 11.10 beta was HORRIBLE... but it has gotten much, much better
[05:21] <dr_willis> jeaton:  not really.. and that may be a better discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:22] <ThomasBoxley> jeaton: GNOME Shell can be easily installed in 11.10
[05:22] <puff_> running
[05:22] <puff_> ...
[05:22] <jeaton> yeah, I ended up installing gnome shell, it just seems broken
[05:22] <jeaton> I ended up jumping back to 10.04
[05:22] <robin0800> jeaton: try gnome-panel
[05:23] <puff_> holy smoke INCOMING!!!!
[05:23] <ThomasBoxley> !offtopic | puff_
[05:23] <puff_> o_0
[05:24] <quiescens> i thought puff_ asking how to upgrade from one release to the next sounded pretty much on topic really
[05:24] <pangolin> it was
[05:24] <ThomasBoxley> holy smoke INCOMING!!!!!
[05:25] <pangolin> the continous off topic remarks are not
[05:25] <puff_> well I was referring to the huge explosions
[05:25] <puff_> it's new years eve here
[05:25] <ThomasBoxley> ubuntu is exploding?
[05:25] <puff_> no but everything around here is
[05:25] <ThomasBoxley> new years eve is off topic. please don't take it personally, but off topic remarks can distract from other people's questions puff_
[05:25] <pangolin> I realize it is new years and we are all bored but please try to keep this channel for support only. #ubuntu-offtopic would be more than happy to entertain you.
[05:25] <puff_> I'll hush
[05:32] <pconwell> ThomasBoxley:
[05:33] <ThomasBoxley> pconwell:
[05:33] <pconwell> Sorry, do you know if it installs KVM?
[05:34] <ThomasBoxley> No, I don't pconwell. I'll look it up
[05:35] <ThomasBoxley> pconwell: yes, it does
[05:35] <pconwell> ThomasBoxley: thanks, that's what I thought... any opinions on KVM vs virtualbox?
[05:35] <ahhughes> is it possible to listen in on a bluetooth device I/O to see if data is actually being sent/received from the device?
[05:35] <ThomasBoxley> pconwell: no, sorry. I've only ever used VB on Ubuntu
[05:35] <Chipzzz> I have an Oneiric desktop installation with a VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) audio board. I'm getting 5.1 channels on USB headphones but the front L & R channels are dead out of audio board... any ideas?
[05:36] <pconwell> me too, but I figured i would give KVM a try since ubuntu (cononical) seems to push it so much
[05:36] <DrPenguin> Chipzzz: using the correct audio codec?
[05:36] <pconwell> canonical*
[05:37] <Chipzzz> DrPenguin: Hi & Happy New Year... using "speaker-test -c6"...
[05:38] <Chipzzz> ... the codecs should be the same for the USB 'phones, no?
[05:38] <freenodiz> hello,is there a way to have a log for ssh somewhere?i need to know what i've doing/scripting since i installed the server...
[05:39] <DrPenguin> Chipzzz: i dunno..
[05:39] <DrPenguin> freenodiz: there may be a log in /var/log
[05:39] <freenodiz> ok
[05:40] <Chipzzz> Freenodiz: for the server or client?
[05:41] <freenodiz> for the things i've doing trough ssh,not sure if it's server or client Chipzzz
[05:41] <freenodiz> like a log with the commands i inserted,such as apt-get and the results
[05:42] <robbbie> freenodiz: you won't find logs of your terminal sessions unless you tee them somewhere, you can check your history of commands though
[05:43] <freenodiz> ohh,ok robbie.
[05:43] <Chipzzz> freenodiz: you could also check the server logs for the times you were logged in (your logins should be in the auth log)
[05:44] <freenodiz> ok
[05:50] <freenodiz> what's the difference? apt-get update AND apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded ?
[05:51] <DrPenguin> update syncs your repositories
[05:52] <freenodiz> i see,so the first syncs than the other actually does the upgrade...ty
[05:53] <puff_> upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system
[05:53] <DrPenguin> freenodiz: having out of sync repositories may result in you not getting the most up to date packages, and even maybe not seeing a package at all
[05:53] <puff_> info is your friend
[05:53] <freenodiz> yeap,go it,ty all
[05:55] <puff_> 13mbps and still 32 mins to go on the dist update
[05:56] <puff_> uhh 26
[05:56] <Shane_> when my comp is unplugged it turns off unexpected. i try to reboot and it freezes on the purple screen
[05:57] <puff_> umm this is going to give me a chance to finish my apache2 install I hope before it reboots\
[05:57] <DrPenguin> wait.. you dont expect it to turn off when you unplug it?
[05:57] <Resistance> Shane_:  this is why you don't unplug your computer.  And it could be an unclean system which you have to clean with an fsck
[05:57] <puff_> maybe he means a laptop
[05:57] <Chipzzz> Laptop, no doubt... is the battery weak, maybe?
[05:58] <DrPenguin> right.. but if the battery is junky or has no power..
[05:58] <Shane_> ha yeah trust me i have it tape to the comp its a laptop
[05:58] <Shane_> no its faulty hardware
[05:58] <puff_> rofl
[05:58] <puff_> make a nice paperweight though
[05:58] <Shane_> is there a way to backup ubuntu through windows
[05:59] <DrPenguin> Shane_: if you can mount the drive yeah.. there are Linux filesystem drivers for windows
[06:00] <ThomasBoxley> Happy New Year!
[06:00] <Chipzzz> You too, Tom
[06:01] <Shane_> k that will be my last resort how do you go to ubuntus equivalent safe mode recovery i think from boot im on dual boot with windows 7 tried the left shift
[06:02] <jeaton> !offtopic | ThomasBoxley
[06:02] <lifestream> Silly question, anyone know the unicode character that creates a new line? I see they do it in video games, where typically, pressing enter would start a new chat line.
[06:02] <ThomasBoxley> It was an automatic message from a pidgin plugin, jeaton.
[06:02] <jeaton> \n
[06:03] <jeaton> ThomasBoxley, i'm only kidding, Happy New Years!
[06:03] <DFan247> Happy New Years everyone!!!
[06:03] <Resistance> !offtopic | DFan247
[06:06] <puff_> idiots with guns annoy me
[06:07] <Shane_> how do i launch ubuntu in recovery mode on dual boot
[06:08] <jeaton> do you have a recovery mode entry in grub?
[06:08] <Kiten> happy new years ;p
[06:09] <oscalation> anyone here that has some knoweledge about ubuntu forums? Im wanting to know if i can change my membername/username
[06:09] <Shane_> cant get on ubuntu it freezes on purp screen
[06:09] <Kiten> oscalation, you'd have to ask one of the admins
[06:09] <oscalation> Kiten, any of them ever around in here?
[06:09] <Kiten> oscalation, there is a list of admins at the bottom of the page on the forums
[06:10] <Kiten> oscalation, i'm not sure haven't actually checked
[06:10] <Chipzzz> Shane_: You should be able to get into grub before it boots to Ubuntu
[06:10] <puff_> man grub internals
[06:10] <jeaton> Shane_, hold down shift before it boots in grub, hoping you have a reocvery option for ubuntu
[06:10] <puff_> edit the grub config'
[06:10] <puff_> ugh
[06:11] <puff_> no you can't
[06:11] <Kiten> i use to know how to get to single user mode but i've long since forgotten
[06:11] <Shane_> i never set one
[06:12] <Chipzzz> Shane_: you can use the server CD to get in
[06:12] <puff_> puff@honilee:~$ man grub
[06:12] <puff_> No manual entry for grub
[06:12] <puff_> sorry
[06:13] <Shane_> k im in thanks
[06:13] <Kiten> puff man -k grub
[06:14] <puff_> doh
[06:14] <Kiten> :P
[06:14] <lifestream> Hi, I want to use windows flashboot to install a ISO to USB (No, I don't want to use unetbootin),  if I use flashboot inside a windows virtualbox, does that virtualbox window recognize my usb stick as a usb stick?
[06:14] <Kiten> -k is very useful if you don't know the name of the man page you need
[06:14] <puff_> grub-reboot looks like the ticket
[06:15] <Chipzzz> apropos grub is helpful as well
[06:15] <dr_willis> lifestream:  it can if you configure it right.
[06:16] <dr_willis> lifestream:  see the vbox manual/guides at its homepage. or the factoid pages.
[06:16] <lifestream> dr_willis, thanks, if I recall  correctly, it only mounted filesystems as network mounts, and it was very slow :)
[06:16] <dr_willis> !vbox
[06:16] <dr_willis> lifestream:  it can access it directly
[06:17] <puff_> grub-mkrescue     - make a GRUB rescue image
[06:18] <puff_> doubt the problem is there though the problem is the fs is fscked
[06:18] <puff_> reinstall would probaly be the best soluyion
[06:18] <puff_> s/y/t
[06:19] <oscalation> any ubuntu forum mods about?
[06:19] <jeaton> oscalation, why not just create a new name?
[06:20] <dr_willis> i think they got their own channel.
[06:20] <dr_willis> !forums
[06:20] <oscalation> dr_willis, thanks
[06:20] <oscalation> jeaton, email is already associated with my other forums account
[06:21] <jeaton> you should be able to change the email to something random and register a new account with the email you're needing
[06:24] <Bunie> im using lubuntu but no one will answer me over there. how do i connect to a wireless network?

[06:46] <puff_> Subsystem: ADMtek Device 0570
[06:46] <Bunie> but came with 512 yes
[06:46] <user____> I'm not sure if this should go here or in the xubuntu channel, but:
[06:46] <user____> I'm trying to copy an SD card that has xubuntu installed on it but I can't beacuse ubuntu(what I'm running now) says that I don't have permision to read certain files. So how do I go about backing it up?
[06:47] <pythonirc101> I'm setting display configuration using "Displays" but the changes are not saved in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:47] <pythonirc101> where are they saved?
[06:47] <jeaton> freenodiz, sudo apt-get install git-core
[06:47] <puff_> chown
[06:47] <freenodiz> ty jeaton :)
[06:47] <Chipzzz> Bunie: did you lspci -v to find out the Broadcom model?
[06:47] <Guest2470> how do i get wine to work
[06:47] <puff_> drink it\
[06:47] <Bunie> wuh? is that possible? lols
[06:48] <Bunie> im a windows noobi D;
[06:48] <Guest2470> no

[06:48] <Guest2470> linux
[06:48] <Bunie> Broadcom corporation BCM 4401-B0
[06:48] <Bunie> then a 2nd one is listed, BCM4311
[06:48] <pythonirc101> anyone knows where the "displays" gui saves display config?
[06:48] <Bunie> it looks more like it
[06:48] <puff_> chown [OPTION]... {NEW-OWNER | --reference=REF_FILE} FILE...
[06:49] <Bunie> Yeh BCM4311
[06:49] <puff_> * works wonders
[06:50] <freenodiz> how can i list all packages installed?
[06:50] <dr_willis> BCM cards need extra drivers/files via the 'addational-drivers' tool dont they?
[06:50] <puff_> yeap
[06:50] <puff_> but support for that card is already in ubuntu
[06:50] <Bunie> dr_willis: I did that using a wired connection, still not working
[06:50] <Chipzzz> curious that two BCMs should be listed
[06:51] <puff_> I will consult the ORACLE
[06:51] <jeaton> is your card dead, you said the light isnt lit up?
[06:51] <almoxarife> freenodiz: got a terminal open?
[06:52] <freenodiz> yeap,almoxarife,terminal is open
[06:52] <jeaton> Bunie, do you have a dual boot setup?
[06:52] <Bunie> It's off, it works in windowls.
[06:52] <almoxarife> freenodiz: type synaptic
[06:52] <Bunie> jeaton: Running from persistant usb
[06:52] <jeaton> IMPORTANT: If dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu, be sure to enable the card (wireless light is on) in Windows before booting Ubuntu, otherwise it will not work.
[06:52] <almoxarife> freenodiz: yes, its ok not to have admin rights
[06:53] <freenodiz> almoxarife, synaptic doesn't do nothing
[06:53] <freenodiz> i have root acess for now
[06:54] <almoxarife> freenodiz: does nothing? does/does not open?
[06:54] <freenodiz> command not found...
[06:54] <freenodiz> i may have to install it first
[06:54] <puff_> it does open the package selector
[06:55] <almoxarife> freenodiz: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[06:55] <html> what channel is it that i can talk to channel opS maybe cuz they kicked me?
[06:55] <Bunie> what if u try to drag a file out of package manager and the interface freezes?
[06:55] <Bunie> what can i do to unfreeze it D;
[06:56] <Bunie> screw this im trying ubuntu D;
[06:56] <jeaton> Bunie, did you see that note I pasted
[06:56] <almoxarife> Bunie: dragging a pckg out would be a trick, I wouldn't do it
[06:56] <puff_> good choice
[06:56] <aBound> brb
[06:56] <Bunie> i wouldnt expect the entire interface to freeze because of one program D;
[06:57] <puff_> next time though synaptic& would be a better choice
[06:57] <freenodiz> ok,install.but i got this error (synaptic:8437): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[06:58] <puff_> yeaP NOT ROOT
[06:58] <puff_> oops
[06:58] <Chipzzz> Bunie: the program that froze is probably nautilus... messes up  the whole desktop
[06:58] <puff_> sudo synaptic&
[06:58] <Bunie> well then nautilus needs to not suck =[ Lols
[06:58] <freenodiz> so i can't run stuff as root?lol
[06:58] <almoxarife> puff_: add the nick you are talking at
[06:58] <puff_> sure ya can
[06:59] <dr_willis> it sould be 'gksudo synaptic'
[06:59] <Chipzzz> Bunie: lol... you know about the "magic keys"?
[06:59] <Bunie> only like CTRL+ALT+F1, etc.
[06:59] <almoxarife> freenodiz: you are in a 'root' terminal?
[06:59] <freenodiz> yes,i am
[06:59] <Bunie> to switch between... i dunno what the term for it is lols
[06:59] <almoxarife> freenodiz: in ubuntu? don't do that, get out of root window
[06:59] <freenodiz> i mean,i'm ssh in a remote server,as root
[07:00] <puff_> don't trust it
[07:00] <freenodiz> ohh cmon...would ya..
[07:00] <puff_> just sudo
[07:00] <Chipzzz> Bunie: Hold down Alt+PrtSc and then r e i s u and o... the machine will shut down gracefully
[07:00] <Chipzzz> (r e i s u and o one at a time in that order)
[07:00] <dr_willis> consoles = alt-ctrl-f1 through F6 normally. F7 to get back to X... :)
[07:00] <almoxarife> freenodiz: forget everything I said, remove the package I asked you to install, you are in a server
[07:01] <Bunie> cant i just switch with CTRL+ALT+F1, and type shutdown or somethin?
[07:01] <jeaton> why not switch to a different terminal and kill the process
[07:01] <Bunie> thats what i mean! :P
[07:01] <Bunie> restart Gnome :D
[07:01] <Bunie> or w/e
[07:01] <Bunie> lols
[07:01] <puff_> wtf unpacking girl.3?
[07:01] <Chipzzz> Bunie: try, but if it doesn't work, the "magic keys" are the last resort that always works
[07:02] <freenodiz> almoxarife,what's the command to unistall that?will it removes all those dependencies?
[07:02] <jeaton> not necessarly gnome, but nautilus
[07:02] <jeaton> and reopen it
[07:02] <Bunie> my magic key is holding down the power button D;
[07:02] <puff_> good way to corrupt a fs
[07:02] <Bunie> lol i kno
 you people forget out to tag the nick you are talking to??????????????????
[07:02] <Chipzzz> puff_: that works but the file system doesn't like it as much
[07:03] <Bunie> ppl always say linux is more stable then windows, but thats looking like BS D;
[07:03] <almoxarife> freenodiz: sudo apt-get remove synaptic
[07:03] <puff_> Bunie: you scare me
[07:03] <Bunie> How? Q~Q
[07:03] <Bunie> i has cookies ._.
[07:03] <jeaton> puff, what corrupts the fs?
[07:03] <puff_> Bunie: my fs is shaking in its boots
[07:03] <Chipzzz> I can has a cookie?
[07:03] <Bunie> lol
[07:03] <Bunie> i was joking about the power button thing
[07:04] <Chipzzz> lol
[07:04] <Bunie> but srsly, holding down two keys while pressing every key on my keyboard? D; srs?
[07:04] <Bunie> sound like troll stuff.
[07:04] <Chipzzz> No, the "magic keys" are real... I'll find you a link
[07:04] <puff_> Bunie: shutdown -h now is OK
[07:04] <almoxarife> dr_willis: what's that ! tag for use a damm nick to refer??
[07:05] <puff_> lol here we go
[07:05] <freenodiz> how do i remove synaptic ?
[07:05] <almoxarife> freenodiz: sudo apt-get remove synaptic
[07:05] <freenodiz> ok
[07:05] <puff_> freenodiz: scroll up
[07:06] <freenodiz> sry,i didn't see
[07:06] <Chipzzz> Bunie: Here you go... near the bottom "safe reboot" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
[07:06] <puff_> shutdown -r now is a reboot
[07:07] <jeaton> heh, i didnt know about the magic keys either
[07:07] <almoxarife> anyone else seeing the 'ssl handshake error' on return from suspend?
[07:07] <Chipzzz> "reisub" reboots and "reisuo" shuts the machine down
[07:07] <puff_> will try that
[07:07] <freenodiz> i'm impressed with synaptic,,it's so many packages in there...i don't even feel like reading ...yuck,lol
[07:07] <aBound> freenodiz, lol
[07:08] <puff_> Chipzzz: I just want a warning when this upgrade finishes
[07:08] <pythonirc101> my monitor resolution is not being detected by "displays" -- how can I manually modify it? xorg.conf?
[07:08] <dr_willis> !bot | almoxarife  :)
[07:08] <puff_> because I am also installing apache2
[07:08] <Chipzzz> puff_: lol
[07:08] <almoxarife> dr_willis: thnks
[07:09] <puff_> pythonirc101: there is a nice graphical interface for that in software
[07:09] <puff_> X.org tweaker
[07:09] <ausernamegoesher> trying to resize my partitions to make room for an install of Windows alongside Ubuntu (already installed) on a 2TB HDD with about 400GB used. GParted says it will be 7 hours. Does that sound normal?
[07:10] <pythonirc101> puff_: I thought "displays" was it (in unity)
[07:10] <puff_> lemme look
[07:10] <Bunie> ausernamegoesher: if it has to move stuff out of the way, maybe.
[07:10] <pythonirc101> thanks
[07:10] <Bunie> ausernamegoesher: i encrypted my 2TB hard drive, took like 5 days lol
[07:11] <puff_> this is gonna be slow since I have an upgrade and 4 installs going
[07:12] <puff_> all hail AMD
[07:12] <robbbie> puff_: werd, i just built a new pc, amd fx4100
[07:12] <robbbie> stoked so far
[07:12] <Bunie> ubuntu didnt ask me how i wanted to run it  =/
[07:12] <puff_> doesn't need to
[07:13] <Bunie> what if i wanna run it with persistant cache? D;
[07:13] <ausernamegoesher> Bunie: wow. Fair enough. At least I know that it isn't abnormal per se. My Windows-using brother is suprised by the amount of time it'll take. He says it took him only 15-30min to do the same thing using Windows.
[07:13] <puff_> you configure it
[07:13] <robbbie> ausernamegoesher: using ntfsresize ?
[07:14] <ausernamegoesher> robbbie: He's not sure but he thinks it was "Acronis"
[07:14] <Bunie> ausernamegoesher: you may have to move more data, and yours may be formating it or something. i couldnt tell ya, im the noobie in the room
[07:14] <ausernamegoesher> Bunie: no worries, cheers
[07:14] <robbbie> ausernamegoesher: hm not sure. it is usually easier to install windows first, then ubuntu though from my experience. used a cli utility called 'ntfsresize' to resize the windows partitions, took minutes
[07:15] <Chipzzz> if you install windows after ubuntu, windows will trash grub
[07:15] <Bunie> yeh theres that too lol
[07:16] <aBound> Never like dual-booting.
[07:16] <dr_willis> windows has some tricks i guess to resize its own ntfs. even while in use.
[07:16] <aBound> liked**
[07:16] <ausernamegoesher> robbbie: yeah. So I've read. The worst part of this is not knowing if it's gonna come out 100% safe. Fingers crossed.
[07:16] <robbbie> ausernamegoesher: i'm sure its possible, might be more of a pain though
[07:17] <ausernamegoesher> Chipzzz: yeah so I have read. I followed Ubuntu's instructions to backup the MBR and restore it after my Windows install
[07:17] <ausernamegoesher> robbbie:  I guess we'll find out. Thanks.
[07:17] <puff_> robbbie: displays just crashed lol
[07:17] <robbbie> puff_: hm?
[07:18] <puff_> was looking at displays to see if it was the tweaker
[07:18] <robbbie> hm
[07:18] <puff_> it exited abnormally
[07:18] <robbbie> puff_: amd chipset?
[07:18] <puff_> yuh huh
[07:19] <robbbie> 9 series?
[07:20] <puff_> robbbie:dunno how do I check?
[07:21] <robbbie> well, depends on the mobo you are using. i suppose bios would tell you. not sure how to check from in linux. cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you processor but not chipset
[07:22] <puff_> better wait it's doing odd things (the upgrade)
[07:23] <puff_> finishing up now
[07:23] <Chipzzz> puff_: sudo lshw may tell you the chipset
[07:24] <Rallias> Erm... I'm having connection reliability issues with forked-daapd. Is there a common fix/ an alternative that is also gui-less?
[07:24] <robbbie> Chipzzz: lshw.. good to know
[07:25] <puff_> vendor: ASUSTek Computer INC.
[07:26] <puff_> Nvidia chipset
[07:28] <Bunie> okay so im on ubuntu now, with the driver installed
[07:29] <puff_> can't figure from this I see K8 [Athlon64/Opteron]
[07:29] <freenodiz> how do i add a new user to the sudoers list,without prompt for a pass?
[07:29] <Bunie> K8 = Athlon64 family.
[07:29] <Bunie> i has a K8 myself
[07:29] <Bunie> anyways, can someone help me over like, Team Viewer?
[07:30] <Bunie> what the F why isnt my firefox working D;
[07:32] <puff_> Bunie: network tools
[07:32] <Bunie> i can ping 8.8.8.8 just fine
[07:32] <puff_> should list all active devices
[07:32] <Bunie> firefox just isnt working
[07:33] <Bunie> puff_: loopback interface and ethernet interface
[07:33] <fragged> Hey guys, is there a GUI package management utility that comes with Ubuntu?
[07:33] <puff_> Bunir: wireless?
[07:34] <freenodiz> if i add myuser    ALL=(ALL) ALL ,into my sudoers list,will that work without inputing password all the time?or is that somenthing automatic?
[07:34] <DrPenguin> freenodiz: that just means you can use sudo
[07:34] <freenodiz> yes,but if i want to use sudo ,without inserting the pass all the time,is that possible?
[07:34] <puff_> Bunie: click configure then wireless add
[07:35] <DrPenguin> freenodiz: thats done on an app by app basis.. you add it to sudoers and give it an attribute that I forget
[07:35] <freenodiz> app by app?ughh
[07:35] <Bunie> puff_: im trying to get my wireless to show me whats broadcasting
[07:35] <fragged> You can configure sudo to not require a password
[07:35] <fragged> /etc/sudoers or something..
[07:35] <mkanyicy> Bunie, if you are not running a web server like apache then firefox might not work
[07:36] <puff_> it has to be added first
[07:36] <freenodiz>  configure sudo to notrequire a password,that;s what i need
[07:36] <Bunie> this is making me rage =/
[07:36] <Bunie> i hate ubuntu right now, srsly. this should work
[07:36] <mkanyicy> Bunie, if you are not running a web server like apache  on 8.8.8.8 then firefox might not work
[07:36] <mkanyicy> fragged, sudo visudo
[07:37] <sirushti> Ok,so i need to know the difference between ubuntu server 11.10 and ubuntu cloud live..someone help? :)
[07:37] <puff_> Bunie: select eth0 then configure then you will see wireless at the top select it and add
[07:37] <freenodiz>  how can i configure sudo to not require a password ?
[07:37] <mkanyicy> fragged, mine I kept everything the same and made changes for the specific user (me) like "mkanyicy ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL"
[07:37] <pythonirc101> how can I get workspaces in gnome?
[07:37] <Bunie> puff_: What will that do? i dont want to manually configure every wireless network..
[07:37] <pythonirc101> My gnome classic doesn't show any workspaces
[07:38] <puff_> it will add the adapter
[07:38] <pythonirc101> I also don't see any settings that let me enable it
[07:38] <mkanyicy> fragged, placed at the bottom of the page/file
[07:38] <freenodiz> this is to work without pass i guess? "mkanyicy ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL"
[07:38] <mkanyicy> freenodiz, yes
[07:38] <freenodiz> nice :)
[07:39] <pythonirc101> In my gnome I don't see "system" menu at all --http://www.techotopia.com/images/a/a0/Ubuntu_desktop2.jpg -- what's wrong?
[07:39] <mkanyicy> fragged, sorry I directed the messages to you
[07:40] <ssbr> What'd be the reasonable way to install older versions of Python? in particular I'd like to try running e.g. 2.3 or 2.4
[07:40] <Bunie> Theres no hope.. =/
[07:40] <pythonirc101> I guess I'll have to choose ubuntu at login, but when I do I get "Failed login session"
[07:41] <mkanyicy> ssbr, I would say use a very old ubuntu distro
[07:42] <ssbr> mkanyicy: I'd rather just build from source or something
[07:43] <mkanyicy> ssbr, or try downloading source or .deb and install it, i have not tried this but make sure it does not become the default python (as in /usr/bin/python) otherwise things will break all over the show
[07:43] <Chipzzz> pythonirc101: aren't those your desktops in the bottom right?
[07:43] <mkanyicy> ssbr, many ubuntu apps rely on python
[07:44] <ssbr> sure, sure
[07:44] <ssbr> could just change the --prefix
[07:44] <pythonirc101> Chipzzz: nope they are not
[07:44] <Bunie> omg my head hurts so bad =/ this does not work on my pc
[07:44] <pythonirc101> is sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geod/ppa-geod a safe repository to add?
[07:45] <mkanyicy> ssbr, sounds like you know what you are doing, good luck
[07:45] <puff_> Bunie: it would if you would add the interface
[07:46] <ssbr> mkanyicy: danke je
[07:46] <Bunie> the internet stopped working all together on it after i installed the wireless driver and rebooted
[07:46] <pythonirc101> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/indicator-workspaces-simple-switching-between-workspaces.html -- doesn't work -- any ideas what's wrong?
[07:46] <puff_> ugh nasty
[07:46] <mkanyicy> ssbr, u welkom
[07:47] <pythonirc101> Got : E: Unable to locate package indicator-workspaces
[07:47] <Chipzzz> Bunie: what does your iwconfig say?
[07:47] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Still booting up, but i doubt it mentions it =/
[07:48] <Chipzzz> lol
[07:48] <Chipzzz> ...you have to ask it
[07:49] <puff_> lo        no wireless extensions.
[07:49] <puff_> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[07:49] <puff_> eth1      no wireless extensions.
[07:49] <Bunie> lo and eth0
[07:49] <JusticeZero> Does anyone know why my Software Center has become useless of late? It can't download packages and tells me to 'check my connection'. If I push the issue it whines about untrusted packages.
[07:49] <Bunie> both say "no wireless extentions"
[07:49] <puff_> thus the need to confiure and add
[07:49] <Chipzzz> Bunie: how about ifconfig
[07:50] <Bunie> just the same two, with more information
[07:50] <Bunie> eth0 says interupt:17
[07:50] <Chipzzz> JusticeZero: sounds like a problem with your repos (software sources)
[07:50] <JusticeZero> How do I fix it?
[07:51] <puff_> woohoo looks like reboot time
[07:52] <Chipzzz> JusticeZero: sudo synaptic is the easiest way to get to them
[07:52] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Please save me Q~Q
[07:52] <JusticeZero> I haven't done anything wacky with my repos that i'm aware of.
[07:52] <Chipzzz> Bunie: it's still showing up in lspci, isn't it?
[07:53] <Bunie> yeh
[07:53] <Bunie> says capabilities: acciess denied
[07:53] <Bunie> whatever that means
[07:53] <puff_> thats normal
[07:53] <Chipzzz> Bunie: root owns it
[07:53] <Bunie> to hunt for a driver for it, would i hunt for its controller or its subsystem
[07:54] <freenodiz> i'm getting this error :          E: Couldn't find package libreadlin
[07:54] <dr_willis> !find libreadl
[07:54] <Chipzzz> Bunie: look for broadcom
[07:55] <Chipzzz> JusticeZero: you're sure you have network access on that machine
[07:55] <Chipzzz> ?
[07:55] <se7en> where are you from?
[07:56] <JusticeZero> It's the machine i'm on right now
[07:56] <freenodiz> ty dr_willis
[07:56] <puff_> brb
[07:57] <Chipzzz> JusticeZero: open up synaptic, look in settings -> software sources
[07:57] <sirnameless> o nice
[07:57] <Chipzzz> (or repositories)
[07:58] <Bunie> Chipzzz: I found this http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 my device is listed as supported. D; i cant make since of any of this tho
[07:58] <se7en> hello
[07:58] <Chipzzz> Bunie: why not?
[07:59] <se7en> i want a friend ..
[07:59] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Cuz im a windows noob ._.
[07:59] <se7en> noob?
[07:59] <JusticeZero> Got an error, might have fixed it, grmbl..
[07:59] <Chipzzz> Bunie: oh... better to use native linux drivers if you can
[08:00] <Chipzzz> Bunie: what model was it again?
[08:02] <html> Chipzzz,  just talking about it for to long ,,,sigh.. giving me a headach ,,,  (windows on linux drivers is a pain sometimes)
[08:02] <puff_> woohoo this rawks
[08:02] <Bunie> Chipzzz: D520.. i found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[08:02] <vitamin{> is there a way to see what the configure script was on a existing binary
[08:02] <Bunie> oh u mean my wireless model. but anyways that document refers to my driver
[08:03] <pythonirc101> what's the keyboard shortcut to change workspaces in 11.10 -- right now I use super+s + click
[08:03] <puff_> ooo I like the new term better too
[08:03] <JusticeZero> I tried sudo apt-get update - synaptic worked fine but the software center wouldn't? and apt-get gave an error, said to update again to fix it. I did. it ...seems fixed? For now? Blah, why it didn't give me that error LAST time i'll never know,
[08:06] <Chipzzz> Bunie: Ah... that page explains the problem... if you read it over & follow the instructions for "Installing b43 drivers", you should be ok
[08:06] <Chipzzz> JusticeZero: glad it worked out for you :)
[08:08] <puff_> Bunie:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m03RcFkSIA8
[08:08] <eigoom> I'm on xubuntu, can we still be friends?
[08:08] <puff_> wait ya have to be on 11.10 for that to work
[08:08] <dbazuin_> eigoom: Whats the difference
[08:09]  * dbazuin_ is new to this stuff
[08:10] <Bunie> puff_: i am NOT typing in the Mac and SSID to every network i join, i'll stick to windows 100 times over before i do that.
[08:10] <eigoom> well, Ubuntu has the GNOME environment while Xubuntu has the XFCE environment
[08:10] <eigoom> and they come with different software
[08:10] <Bunie> puff_: Ubuntu used to work PERFECT on this laptop >>
[08:10] <dbazuin_> Ow ok
[08:10] <JusticeZero> Xubuntu has some different packages too..
[08:10] <puff_> mm I just linked ya a video howto
[08:10] <dbazuin_> And why domyou prefer xubuntu?
[08:11] <dbazuin_> M = space
[08:11] <eigoom> its lightweight, fast and I like the look
[08:11] <dbazuin_> Ow ok
[08:12] <multipass> can anyone help me with the 1 line command that chmods all files to 644 and all folders to 775 of a directory recursivly?? thanks
[08:12] <dbazuin_> I use macos and xp now
[08:12] <dbazuin_> Want to try ubuntu asap
[08:12] <eigoom> also love the Clearlooks theme, but I believe you can get that on any ubuntu spin
[08:12] <Chipzzz> Bunie: according to the page you showed me, the problem is that you need to extract the firmware from the card with a utility provided in the repos. After that, you should be ok
[08:12] <dbazuin_> Can you show some screendumps
[08:13] <Bunie> Chipzzz: This page is reading like it wants me to write new firmware to my card... i dont wanna ruin my card for ubuntu >>
[08:13] <Chipzzz> multipass: I think you want the "-R" parameter
[08:14] <Bunie> I swear wtf happened! Ubuntu 10 or somethin, WORKED, i just clicked install on the drivers and Bam
[08:14] <eigoom> google images dbazuin :_
[08:14] <eigoom> :)**
[08:14] <dbazuin_> Ok np
[08:15] <Bunie> i found this, if i can get my lan working again i will try it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al3X4jL3S2Y
[08:15] <fragged> is there any workaround to getting multiple copies of apt-get to run symaltaniously? Even if it only downloads the applications? Virtualbox is downloading at 20kb/s : /
[08:16] <puff_> ugh
[08:16] <Bunie> cancel it and install it the old fashioned way
[08:17] <fragged> I'm more looking for a way to throw things onto a cue,
[08:17] <Chipzzz> Bunie: if you start about 15% of the way down the page at the heading "b43 - Internet access" & follow the 3 steps, you should be up and running in no time.
[08:17] <puff_> software center
[08:18] <puff_> fragged orange bag in the launcher bar
[08:18] <Chipzzz> (The firmware is read from the card, not written to it so you're safe)
[08:18] <fragged> Ah, cheers
[08:19] <Bunie> This YT vid has given me hope
[08:20] <Bunie> HOPE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
[08:20] <Chipzzz> lol
[08:20] <puff_> yw
[08:20] <Bunie> Seriously tho, why isnt this an issue? :p
[08:20] <Bunie> like, Ubuntu was made to be user friendly yes? Ficks it lol
[08:21] <puff_> ubuntu is user friendly
[08:21] <Bunie> You call my struggle user friendly?
[08:21] <Bunie> You think my grandma could do this? :P
[08:21] <puff_> some assembly required
[08:21] <Chipzzz> Bunie: i think the problem has to do with the proprietary broadcom firmware & the legalities of the situation.
[08:22] <Bunie> i know it cant be included but couldnt it be automated or something?
[08:22] <Bunie> like a script to do all this itself? :p
[08:22] <dbazuin_> I guess grandma better buy a pc with it already installed then
[08:22] <Chipzzz> it is automated... 43-cutter does it for you
[08:22] <itsnotabigtruck> yeah, the wlan chip vendors design this stuff with not one thought given to making it easy to use from open source drivers, without divulging trade secrets
[08:22] <gmachine_24> I have a home network with Windows comps (XP, Vista, 7) and Ubuntu/Debian (various versions) and my problem is I can never get the Linux laptops to "see" the other computers when they are connected wirelessly; I plug in a cable and Bob's your uncle. I usually get an error message something like 'Unable to mount location' 'Failed to retrieve share list from server'; I have used diff routers...
[08:22] <gmachine_24> ...... all with the same result. The Linux boxes all have Samba installed and configured.
[08:22] <itsnotabigtruck> e.g. runtime-loaded firmware, because eeprom chips cost too much
[08:23] <dbazuin_> Does ubuntu support wifi printing?
[08:23] <Mike1> good Morning! Is there a way to edit PCManFM’s side pane?
[08:23] <itsnotabigtruck> dbazuin_: yeah, it's no different from a regular network printer
[08:23] <puff_> well at least it is "manly" enough to attempt to mount everything it encounters
[08:24] <itsnotabigtruck> network printers have been around for eons, it's only the wireless part that's nee
[08:24] <itsnotabigtruck> that and they're marketed to consumers now
[08:24] <gmachine_24> eons.... wow
[08:24] <dbazuin_> True
[08:24] <Bunie> just one more question, Chipzzz: Im going to try whats shown in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al3X4jL3S2Y , should i install the proprietary drivers first or should i just go with this?
[08:25] <Chipzzz> Bunie: I didn't watch the vid... I'll get back to you in a few
[08:25] <Bunie> It's kay he just installs something from the 'market" and shows it fixed
[08:28] <Chipzzz> Bunie: I'd go with the vid and if it doesn't work, try the more roundabout method
[08:31] <mazda01> morning. anyone familar with best software for a Blog type website which also is great a showing and allowing visitors to watch and play .mp4 files?
[08:31] <mazda01> i'll work about hosting
[08:32] <TomK_> Ubuntu sucks.
[08:33] <Chipzzz> Mazda01: That's pretty off-topic but Wordpress is the most common solution and my personal favorite is Drupal
[08:33] <mazda01> thank you
[08:33] <mazda01> figureed it was on topic because its being hosting within ubuntu
[08:33] <mazda01> :-)
[08:34] <Chipzzz> good luck :)
[08:34] <mazda01> so drupal and wordpress have any apps to easily install,manage and maintain them?

[08:34] <Chipzzz> lol... yes
[08:34] <mazda01> I will have to do some googling I guess
[08:34] <mazda01> thank you
[08:35] <Chipzzz> glad to help
[08:36] <mazda01> dont see an auto-connect timer for xchat. anyone familar?
[08:36] <mazda01> version 2.8.6
[08:36] <Bunie> Chipzzz: new problem. i found deb at the debian repo but,  it says dependency not satisfiable?
[08:37] <mazda01> you can run an aptitude or apt-get command to show you all the dependencies
[08:37] <Chipzzz> Bunie: the driver in software center didn't work?
[08:37] <mazda01> of a package BUT it sounds like Chipzzz has you covered
[08:37] <Bunie> Chipzzz: It didnt exist, i found a deb package
[08:38] <Chipzzz> Bunie: i would be nervous about it... what's the package?
[08:39] <Bunie> dun dun dunnn
[08:40] <Bunie> i installed it, and now i see networks! However i cant connect
[08:40] <puff_> improvement
[08:41] <Bunie> Wait! wrong pass xD

[08:44] <Bunie> is that normal?
[08:44] <Bunie> or is my connection gonna drop every 5 minutes
[08:45] <Chipzzz> dunno, i worry about adding packages that aren't from a ubuntu repo
[08:46] <Bunie> i have no freakin clue what iuts doin now, i think its froze, im gonna install and then re-do wireless
[08:47] <Bunie> man, ubuntu needs to stop adding new features, and fix the old ones :p
[08:47] <Chipzzz> i would try to get the package from ubuntu's repo next time around if you can
[08:47] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Help me find it? "firmware-b43-installer"?
[08:48] <Bunie> lol my ubuntu usb is saying authentication failure now
[08:48] <Chipzzz> k
[08:48] <Bunie> D;
[08:49] <Bunie> my laptop needs a new battery
[08:49] <aBound> New years sucked. lol
[08:49] <Martell> Ok guys heres my problem, i deleted Ubuntu partition from my Windows XP, and when i restart my lappy back, it gave me "no such partition.. grub rescue>" .. i have centos usb , and tried to resuce my lappy, but failed. how may i solve this?
[08:49] <Bunie> it like, overheats at 80% so i take it out and when i come back an hour later its stil hot, and at 40%
[08:50] <Chipzzz> Bunie: apt-get has it, assuming you're installing 11.10
[08:50] <freenodiz>  when installing rvm onubuntu lucid,what's the difference between:if [[ -s"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] ; then source"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ; fi   AND   user$echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && ."$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function'  >> ~/.bash_profile  ?
[08:50] <Bunie> Martell: best way to rescue windows is using Hirens Boot Disk, i believe it has a tool to repair windows boot thingy
[08:50] <Bunie> Chipzzz: So what do i type? "Sudo apt-get firmware-b43-installer"?
[08:51] <Chipzzz> Sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[08:51] <Bunie> Chipzzz: That will install dependencies, too?
[08:51] <Chipzzz> yup
[08:51] <Bunie> yeeeeey
[08:51] <Martell> Bunie : and how may i use it?
[08:51] <Chipzzz> :)
[08:51] <Bunie> Martell: Bootable CD or USB :P?
[08:52] <Bunie> Martell: the disk is slightly illegal, so its hard to find
[08:52] <freenodiz> hahahhaha,they are the same!!!just the last is a command,and the first is the result of the command...oh my
[08:53] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Last question for now, i think. durring my last fail attempt at an install i saw a checkbox that said 3rd party stuff like MP3 etc. is that on the disk? I wont have internet this install and i dont wanna miss out on anything
[08:54] <auronandace> no
[08:54] <Chipzzz> Bunie: it isn't on the disk... why don't you leave the wired connection plugged in while you install?
[08:54] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Your genius! :3
[08:55] <Chipzzz> :)
[08:55] <puff_> doh
[08:56] <puff_> you forgot to pay the interwebs?
[08:56] <Chipzzz> i'm guessing just tired & not thinking
[09:00] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Now that ive figured it out, should i switch back to Lubuntu? I rlly hate this interface.
[09:00] <Bunie> i mean -really- hate. Lols
[09:00] <Bunie> the time i had to work with it while fixing my wireless only increased my hatred

[09:01] <Bunie> i love you puff_  ♥
[09:01] <Chipzzz> Bunie: lolz... i hated it at first too, but added a GLX-Dock & got a little used to it & now i love it!
[09:02] <Bunie> i dont wanna dock
[09:02] <Bunie> im a windows guy, not mac D;
[09:02] <Bunie> this feels too Macie
[09:02] <Bunie> Mac-ie* :3
[09:02] <Bunie> i guess ill stick with ubuntu tho
[09:02] <Bunie> just cuz i like the name and the support and stuffs
[09:03] <Chipzzz> *shrugs* you can go with a kde or gnome3 desktop if you prefer
[09:03] <Bunie> can i still use ubuntu and do that?
[09:03] <puff_> you can build you're own desktop
[09:03] <Bunie> ;D
[09:04] <Bunie> puff_: Someone showed me a distro that did that earlier, but i like ubuntu because its got alot of support and its popular
[09:04] <puff_> the whole time you been doing this I rebuilt the entire system
[09:04] <Bunie> puff_: oh you mean physically
[09:04] <puff_> yup
[09:04] <Chipzzz> it's a lot easier if you start with ubuntu server and add the desktop, but you can have different desktops in different sessions if you like
[09:05] <ubuntu> had an unexpected power out while in ubuntu installed with wubi now running on flas how do i get files from
[09:05] <ubuntu> wubi ubuntu
[09:05] <Bunie> "this computer currently has no detected Operating systems" lol ubuntu is blind
[09:06] <almoxarife> ubuntu: running on 'flas'??
[09:06] <ubuntu> flash drive sry
[09:06] <Bunie> ubuntu: please rephrase, you lost me and prolly everyone else lol
[09:06] <almoxarife> ubuntu: your win side is also crashed?
[09:07] <ubuntu> ok
[09:08] <puff_> lol gotta love this note in wireshark setup: Network administrators and other people are usually not amused with re-arrangements to "their" network.
[09:08] <Bunie> "encrypt my home folder"?
[09:08] <Bunie> I planned on truecrypting the whole thing, but would that be better?
[09:08] <ubuntu> my ubuntu was powered down without shut down it was installed with wubi. ive been told this is the reason it wont boot up now it freezes on purp screen. now im running it off flash how can i get my files from other ubuntu
[09:08] <Chipzzz> lol @ puff_
[09:08] <Bunie> i  guess ill just do that, then
[09:08] <almoxarife> !who | Bunie
[09:09] <Bunie> ubottu: im speaking to anyone who reads what i say :D Lols i dont wanna spam a single person =/
[09:09] <Bunie> ubottu: THEN STFU Q~Q
[09:09] <Chipzzz> rofl
[09:09] <puff_> ubottu: you are only a bot and these are not the droids you seek
[09:10] <almoxarife> Bunie: don't, some of us don't care about your idle blather, thnks in advance
[09:11] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Know any quick way to test hardware acceleration? (graphics drivers i mean)
[09:11] <almoxarife> ubuntu: your win side is also crashed?
[09:11] <metaspike> ubuntu: im guessing you want to cp your home directory files? (docs, program settings.)
[09:11] <dr_willis> wubi stores its  ubuntu install in a file you can mount via the loop option of mount, from a live cd, or normal install.
[09:12] <Chipzzz> Bunie: the drivers should handle the acceleration for you
[09:12] <Bunie> Chipzzz: I mean is there a way to check if theyre installed
[09:12] <ubuntu> dr_willis how do i go about this
[09:12] <ubuntu> no win is good
[09:12] <Bunie> Wiping swap space for security!? D; that should be optional
[09:12] <metaspike> Bunie: in terminal run glxgears, if your using the nonfree ati drivers theres also fgl_glxgears. basically anything which returns an fps can be used as a benchmark (abet, not the most accurate one)
[09:12] <Chipzzz> Bunie: you'll probably get open source drivers until you install the package we were discussing earlier
[09:12] <almoxarife> ubuntu: then you can repair wubi thru win
[09:13] <ubuntu> ok how
[09:13] <dr_willis> ubuntu:  use a live cd and the proper mount commands to mount the file. thats about all i know about it. I hate wubi and never use it.
[09:13] <ubuntu> yeah im going to do reg install when i get the files
[09:13] <Bunie> yeh wubi is lame, ur better off with a livecd or usb
[09:14] <puff_> gotta go laters
[09:14] <almoxarife> ubuntu, wubibuilder crashed?
[09:14] <ubuntu> wubibuilder not sure
[09:14] <Chipzzz> Bunie: Whoops... scratch that... we weren't talking about proprietary video drivers :/
[09:15] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Lol no but i wasnt gonna say anything :P
[09:15] <almoxarife> ubuntu, what happens when you try to start ubuntu?
[09:15] <ubuntu> it freezes on the purple screen
[09:15] <Chipzzz> Bunie: Sorry... the movie I'm watching was getting interesting...
[09:15] <almoxarife> ubuntu, you mean it happens past grub?
[09:16] <metaspike> ubuntu: what did you do?
[09:16] <ubuntu> my has to be plugged in and cord popped out
[09:16] <metaspike> install new video driver?
[09:16] <ubuntu> laptop
[09:17] <ubuntu> im not sure about the grub what is it
[09:17] <almoxarife> ubuntu, who you talking to? pick a nick
[09:17] <Bunie> GRUB ♥ its complex tho, not simple like windows
[09:18] <metaspike> if you know what a terminal is -maybe- i can help you, otherwise i suggest a fresh reinstall of 10.04 preferably from cd
[09:18] <Chipzzz> Well, I'm out guys... Happy New Year to all
[09:18] <Bunie> Chipzzz: thanks for all your help!
[09:18] <Shane_> almoxarife this is ubuntu on another comp did you know how to fix wubi through win
[09:18] <Chipzzz> my pleasure
[09:18] <Bunie> Chipzzz: "sudo apt-get install <whatever driver was>" Yes?
[09:18] <Chipzzz> yes
[09:18] <Bunie> Chipzzz: Kay! Spam you later ♥
[09:19] <Chipzzz> Happy New Yeaer & good luck :)
[09:19] <Shane_> talk asbout what
[09:19] <almoxarife> Shane_: I know how to repair wubibuilder, I am not sure that is the issue
[09:20] <Shane_> ill give it a try
[09:20] <almoxarife> !who | shane_
[09:21] <Shane_> almoxarife, sry you ill try to repair wubi builder
[09:22] <NimeshNeema> !who
[09:22] <NimeshNeema> !who | NimeshNeema
[09:24] <almoxarife> Shane_: repair of wubibuilder only corrects issues with grub(the ubuntu booter), if your issues come after boot then that won't help
[09:26] <Shane_> almoxarife, is it possible to mount the file to usb with terminal
[09:27] <trijntje> Happy new year all! Is there a way to see in ubuntu if VMX-extension is enabled?
[09:28] <almoxarife> Shane_: how big a file is it? what's the point of putting it on usb?
[09:29] <Shane_> the ubuntu os to save my setting
[09:29] <Shane_> almoxarife the ubuntu os to save the settings
[09:29] <almoxarife> trijntje: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/linux-tip-how-to-tell-if-your-processor-supports-vt/
[09:31] <almoxarife> Shane_: look at this, if its wubibuilder this should help http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10
[09:32] <trijntje> almoxarife: that only reports if the cpu supports it. I need to know if it has been succesfully enabled in the BIOS, since I cant run 64bit guest in vbox
[09:32]  * tnk1 is away: Gone away for now
[09:33] <dr_willis> !iso
[09:33] <dr_willis> if you can figure out the name of the wubi 'hard drive image file' you can use that  sudo mount -o loop FILENAME MOUNTPOINT method.
[09:33] <almoxarife> trijntje: the cpu runs the virtual, the cpu has to be capable
[09:35] <Bunie> How do i uninstall a package i installed with apt-get?
[09:35] <almoxarife> trijntje: you have a 64bit machine that won't run 64bit virtual, me too, we don't have virtualization, or you did not check the option in your bios, assuming you have it
[09:35] <trijntje> almoxarife: the virtualbox FAQ states that your cpu must be capable AND you must enable hardware virtualisation in the BIOS
[09:35] <Bunie> ohh, "Remove" k
[09:35] <trijntje> no, i'm running 32bit host
[09:35] <almoxarife> trijntje: yours is not
[09:36] <almoxarife> trijntje: you have a 64bit machine that won't run 64bit virtual, me too, we don't have virtualization, or you did not check the option in your bios, assuming you have it <-- bios check! is it off?
[09:37] <trijntje> almoxarife: I have it enabled in the BIOS, but if I try to run 64bit guest under 32bit host I still get an error that my CPU doesnt have 64bit capabilities
[09:37] <Bunie> how can i install a deb file other then double clicking on it?
[09:39] <dragonslay> Bunie, dpkg -i package
[09:39] <almoxarife> trijntje: lets see, you do have vt, on a 32bit os, want to run 64bit-virtual-os, the question then is 'does virtualbox 32bit run 64bit virtuals???? not sure
[09:40] <dragonslay> !dpkg
[09:40] <almoxarife> !gdebi | Bunie
[09:40] <Bassem_> any one can help me nstall ubuntu 11.4
[09:40] <trijntje> almoxarife: vbox FAQ says it can, but its not working for me. Ill ask in #vbox, thanks for your help
[09:41] <Bassem_> can any one help me installing ubuntu
[09:41] <Bunie> almoxarife: unless it says "only install this file if you trust the origin." and install is grey'd out
[09:41] <almoxarife> Bassem_: got the disk?
[09:42] <Bassem_> yes
[09:42] <almoxarife> Bunie: says it where? what are you using?

[09:42] <Bassem_> trying ubuntu
[09:42] <almoxarife> Bassem_: congrats, seems to work
[09:42] <Bunie> almoxarife: double clicking the deb file opens ubuntu software center
[09:43] <Bassem_> almoxarife, so can you help me?i tried to install it by my self but didnt work since i have windows 7
[09:43] <dragonslay> Bunie, dpkg --force -i pakagename.deb
[09:43] <Bassem_> almoxarife, i couldnt find the boot option of ubuntu after the installing were done
[09:44] <almoxarife> Bassem_: I thought you said you were using it? in it?
[09:44] <Bunie> dragonslay: Unknown option -i
[09:44] <wildc4rd> hi all, have just reinstalled, and the only problem I have is finding my freenode nickserv password, lol, is there a way I can get it emailed back to me?
[09:44] <Bassem_> i'm trying it
[09:44] <Bassem_> i want to install it
[09:44] <dragonslay> Bunie, dpkg --force --install pakagename.deb
[09:45] <Bunie> dragonslay: unknown force option --install
[09:45] <almoxarife> Bassem_: what is the issue? be a bit more specific
[09:46] <almoxarife> wildc4rd: wrong channel
[09:46] <Bassem_> almoxarife, i have two hard disk, one have windows 7 and the other i want to install ubuntu on it
[09:46] <Bunie> why isnt this working, when it worked on the liveCD =/
[09:46] <Bunie> now i have no laptop ._.
[09:47] <Bassem_> almoxarife, i tried and install ubutnu but when i boot my pc i dont have the option to load ubuntu it just automaticly load windows 7
[09:47] <dragonslay> Bunie, what's the package name?
[09:47] <almoxarife> Bassem_: what type of install did you do?
[09:47] <Bunie> dragonslay: firmware-b43-installer
[09:48] <Bunie> dragonslay: Earlier i installed a package from Debian.org that worked =/ now its not.
[09:48] <Bassem_> almoxarife, not sure. if you like we can do something like remote control and check it your self
[09:49] <almoxarife> Bassem_: no, I won't do that
[09:49] <dragonslay> Bunie, sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[09:49] <Bunie> dragonslay: Did that, didnt work, i tried 3 different builds and only the debian stable build worked
[09:50] <Bassem_> almoxarife, ok what site i should do print screen and upload too so you can guid me
[09:50] <almoxarife> Bassem_: pick one, provide the link
[09:50] <dragonslay> Bunie, post the screenshot to pastebin
[09:51] <Bunie> dragonslay: what screenshot? :S
[09:51] <almoxarife> dragonslay: image.bin?
[09:52] <Bassem_> almoxarife, the options i got now is erase ubuntu 11.04 and reinstall
[09:52] <Bassem_> almoxarife, upgrade ubuntu 11.04 to 11.04
[09:52] <almoxarife> Bunie: what are you trying to accomplish?
[09:52] <Bassem_> almoxarife, erase every thing and reinstall
[09:52] <dragonslay> almoxarife: what?
[09:52] <Bassem_> almoxarife, something else
[09:52] <Bunie> almoxarife: : trying to get my wireless to work =/ i fixed it on the liveCD using this package but now its no use
[09:53] <Bassem_> almoxarife, so what option i should go for?
[09:53] <almoxarife> Bassem_: I have no idea wth you are talking about
[09:53] <Bassem_> almoxarife, the option that appearing to me in the installing window
[09:53] <OliveGreen> Hi all.
[09:54] <OliveGreen> Has Gimp 2.7.x found its way to the repos yet?
[09:54] <Shane_> sometimes when i log into windows my desktop is hidden sometimes not anyone else have this prob
[09:54] <almoxarife> Bunie: no use? can't install it? won't work once installed?
[09:55] <Bunie> almoxarife: installs, but doesnt fix the problem like it did earlier
[09:56] <almoxarife> Bunie: and the problem? you want to share what that is?
[09:56] <Bunie> almoxarife: "Note: On Ubuntu 11.04 installing the 'firmware-b43-installer' package takes care of the downloading and installation of the b43 driver. " and it did earlier. Not now though.
[09:58] <Bunie> almoxarife: "Sudo modprobe b43" fixed it, can you explain to me why? :o
[09:59] <oYeVoVeYo> I bought a laptop this afternoon, and I decided to install the ubuntu system, anyway, I don't have a wireless lan so I decided to make it connect to the wired network, but I don't have any ideas about how to do it, any help will be appreciate.
[09:59] <almoxarife> Bunie: open a terminal
[09:59] <Bunie> almoxarife: just wanted an explanation of what modprobe does =/
[09:59] <dragonslay> Bunie, modprobe loads the driver in to main memory
[10:00] <Bunie> dragonslay: So i wont have to retype that every boot? :3
[10:00] <dragonslay> Bunie, so that kernel can make use of it
[10:00] <ThomasBoxley> oYeVoVeYo: you should just be able to plug in an ethernet cable and it'll work
[10:00] <dragonslay> Bunie, try restarting then..
[10:01] <Bunie> progress is so exciting~
[10:01] <oYeVoVeYo> Just plug in an ethernet cable and it's done? :D
[10:01] <almoxarife> Bunie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx <-- looked at this?
[10:01] <Bunie> almoxarife: i got it working almo :P
[10:01] <ThomasBoxley> Yes oYeVoVeYo, it should work automatically
[10:01] <oYeVoVeYo> Okay, thanks, I'll try and see if it works :)
[10:02] <gogeta> bo
[10:02] <Bunie> almoxarife, dragonslay: Aparently i have to run "sudo modprobe b43" every bootup. How can i have it do this automatically?
[10:02] <almoxarife> Bunie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx <-- looked at this?
[10:03] <gogeta> Bunie: add it to the modprobe file
[10:04] <Bunie> gogeta: Teach me your ways oh wise guru master? :3 where is this file?
[10:05] <oYeVoVeYo> ThomasBoxley, errr, I plugged it in and the Exclamation mark is still there saying it doesn't work :(
[10:05] <gogeta> Bunie: in /etc/modprobe.conf simply add b43 to the list
[10:05] <oCean> Bunie: echo "b43" | sudo tee -a "/etc/modules"
[10:05] <gogeta> Bunie: then it will do it for you at boot
[10:05] <ThomasBoxley> oYeVoVeYo: no idea then :(
[10:05] <oYeVoVeYo> :( kay
[10:05] <Bunie> Gogeta's idea sounds cleaner :p
[10:06] <oCean> Bunie: there is no modprobe.conf, it's called /etc/modules, my command adds that line to the /etc/modules file
[10:06] <almoxarife> Bunie: cleaner? oCean's does it in one command, that's clean!
[10:07] <gogeta> Bunie: yra his way is copy and past
[10:07] <gogeta> :)
[10:07] <almoxarife> gogeta: what version of ubuntu you have?
[10:07] <meco> When I'm trying to install something using Ubuntu Software Center nothing ever happens when I click the 'install' button. Any suggestions?
[10:07] <Bunie> so just type exactly what oCean said? :3
[10:07] <gogeta> almoxarife: lol ubuntu
[10:10] <almoxarife> gogeta: what version? mine don't have modprobe.conf , 11.10
[10:10] <gogeta> almoxarife: ah i beleve they did switch to moduals
[10:10] <Bunie> ITS ALIIIIVE, thank you oCean !
[10:10] <almoxarife> meco: you could try an alternate method, 'synaptic'
[10:11] <gogeta> almoxarife: i quit a=ubuntu after unity
[10:11] <almoxarife> gogeta: I can tell, hence why your help is 'debian' centric, which don't help people like me
[10:12] <gogeta> almoxarife: :0
[10:12] <gogeta> :)
[10:13] <meco> almoxarife: Yes, I always succeed either that way or one of the others, but I'd like to be able to do it through the Software Center also.
[10:13] <almoxarife> gogeta: no, its not funny, getting all scriptkiddie with crap you don't use is bullshit!
[10:13] <shahan> My NTFS drives are not showing on my UBUNTU 11.10 desktop 32Bit. I recovered my GRUB2 as I installed Windows after installing Windows XP on my PC. The drive were shown on Ubuntu 11.10 previously.
[10:14] <gogeta> almoxarife: its called offeing help
[10:14] <gogeta> almoxarife: most of us her do not run buntu
[10:14] <gogeta> ubuntu
[10:14] <Bunie> Next question, how do install Those gz file things? :p
[10:14] <gogeta> almoxarife: at least the ones offering help
[10:15] <almoxarife> gogeta: perhaps your talents would be appreciated in #linux?
[10:15] <gogeta> Bunie: you use deb files use them as mutch as possable ather then a gz
[10:15] <Bunie> gogeta: I ment Bz2
[10:15] <Landslyde> ah haaa =)
[10:15] <Landslyde> lost but now found
[10:16] <gogeta> Bunie: should be able to right click and extarct those
[10:16] <meco> How can I search my previous terminal commands?
[10:16] <oCean> meco: type  history
[10:16] <meco> ok
[10:16] <gogeta> meco: press up
[10:16] <ssta> meco: ctrl-R and start typing
[10:16] <almoxarife> meco: I gave up on software center because it was bloated and didn't do what you would expect it to do, this is after using synaptic for ever, perhaps there are configurations changes that allow for an easier time with it?
[10:16] <gogeta> meco: heh lots of ways
[10:17] <Landslyde> oCean: ty
[10:17] <meco> ok, nice all
[10:17] <Bunie> AWESOME :3 yeeeey me so happeh
[10:17] <gogeta> Bunie: ")
[10:21] <gogeta> almoxarife: heh i just use apt-get
[10:21] <gogeta> almoxarife:
[10:21] <almoxarife> gogeta: gosh golly, that is great
[10:22] <gogeta> almoxarife: its the fastest way
[10:23]  * Bunie is slowly falling in luv with ubuntu ;D
[10:23] <gogeta> master_of_master: wow dailup
[10:23] <meco> I just tried installing google-chrome-stable but it wouldn't configure because I don't have libcurl3. What should I do?
[10:23] <Bunie> how do i remove the FFox that came with it? apt-get remove firefox? lol
[10:24] <gogeta> Bunie: yes ubuntu is nice just not a unity fan i se xubuntu lubuntu arch etc
[10:24] <Bunie> gogeta: Trust me, i hate Unity. i almost switched to Lubuntu, was a hard choice
[10:24] <gogeta> Bunie: yes that works good enough but if you wanna remove all the old cnfigs add --purge
[10:24] <ssta> Bunie: you could.  Why though?  Short of diskspace?
[10:25] <Bunie> ssta: the firefox "built-in" is crazy ancient, and perhaps i prefer a diff browser ;D
[10:25] <Bunie> like FFox beta or Aruara or nightly.
[10:25] <ssta> Bunie: hmm, they updated it.  What version of ubuntu?
[10:25] <Bunie> 11.04, running updates now
[10:25] <Bunie> but FFox reports 7.0
[10:25] <gogeta> Bunie: you can grab a ppa for whatever version your running and grab the latest
[10:26] <meco> Seems 'sudo apt-get install libcurl3' is doing the trick....
[10:26] <Bunie> i DL'd the version i like, but the old crapy ones still on here, i want it gone >:3
[10:26] <gogeta> Bunie: well depends on witch broswer is using irefox
[10:27] <Bunie> just installed like 300 updates, lets hope it still boots x3
[10:27] <gogeta> Bunie: for both being installed ones useing a diffrent lable like firefox 9 or something
[10:27] <Bunie> also how do i add an app to Unity?
[10:27] <gogeta> Bunie: that i think you just hit the plus buttion it favret them
[10:27] <gogeta> Bunie: to get them on the side bar
[10:28] <gogeta> Bunie: that or drage them
[10:28] <Bunie> i want it in unity. that bz2 file earlier
[10:28] <Bunie> currently extracted to my Downloads folder
[10:28] <Bunie> im gonna move it soon, and then i want it on Unity
[10:28] <gogeta> Bunie: not shure on folders
[10:28] <gogeta> Bunie: unity is not my ui
[10:33] <meco> How does this channel function vis-a-vis the actual programmers of ubuntu (including various system tools and so on)? Do they hang around here or pick up feedback from the conversations somehow?
[10:34] <Anon187> anyone here familiar with coding a linux os from scratch?
[10:35] <Humbedooh> coding an os from scratch o.O ?
[10:35] <Anon187> yes
[10:35] <oCean> Anon187: this channel is for ubuntu support only, maybe try ##linux channel
[10:35] <Humbedooh> do you mean compiling the kernel, or..?
[10:35] <Bunie> To run Java apps like minecraft, would i install OpenJDK Java 7 runtime?
[10:36] <Humbedooh> you could
[10:36] <ssta> yes
[10:36] <Bunie> what would be best to install?
[10:36] <Bunie> 'going to java homepage?
[10:36] <ssta> not unless you want to keep it up to date yourself
[10:36] <Humbedooh> I'd go with the open one, for purely political reasons :>
[10:36] <ssta> openjdk will be the reference implementation soon
[10:37] <Anon187> well I would like to learn how to code my own os.
[10:37] <ssta> nah, the reasons aren't political, they're practical
[10:37] <Bunie> how do i install an rpm or gz file D;
[10:37] <Anon187> preferably more in depth than compiling
[10:37] <Humbedooh> you wouldn't know my reasons, ssta :p
[10:37] <Humbedooh> but _yours_ may be just practical :>
[10:37] <Anon187> lol ;)
[10:38] <ssta> hehe, fair enough
[10:38] <Bunie> can i install rpm files? :S
[10:38] <oCean> Anon187: again, this is not the correct channel, try ##linux for starters and/or ##programming
[10:38] <Humbedooh> if you wanna try making your own o/s, you should start with something a lot simpler than linux
[10:38] <oCean> !rpm | Bunie
[10:38] <ssta> Bunie: you can.  it's not recommended though
[10:38] <Bunie> what about Gz?
[10:38] <Bunie> or is that just an archive?
[10:38] <Humbedooh> it's just an archive format
[10:39] <Anon187> ok thanks Humbedooh. @oCean sorry
[10:39] <oCean> Bunie: GZ is just an archive, you would have to compile the software in this archive
[10:39] <Bunie> so then theres no Java build for Debian/ubuntu? =/
[10:39] <oCean> !java | Bunie sure
[10:40] <ssta> Bunie: sure there is.  Just the Oracle have made it impossible to distribute the "official" jdk.  And Oracle have said the open JDK will be the reference implementation anyway, so there are limited use cases for needing to
[10:41] <Bunie> fine im going with openjdk :p but it better not suck Q~Q Lols
[10:41] <Humbedooh> Oracle just loves buying software companies and imploding their value
[10:41] <ssta> what do you need it to do?
[10:42] <Humbedooh> if you just need to run minecraft, the JRE will suffice
[10:42] <ssta> as long as you aren't doing anything J2EE then OpenJDK is fine.  Even if you are, it's probably okay (unless you need anything from Unsafe, but all bets are off then anyways)
[10:45] <Bunie> ssta: minecraft.jar is not marked as an executable?
[10:45] <Bunie> ssta: what am i doin wrong? D;
[10:46] <ssta> Bunie: ummm, you don't usually execute a jar directly
[10:46] <jea> Bunue : chmod +x ? >.<
[10:46] <Bunie> but for MC you do D;
[10:46] <makara> I turn off toolbars in LibreOffice but restarting they are still there?
[10:46] <ssta> java -jar minecraft.jar
[10:49] <ssta> Bunie: or install jarwrapper
[10:50] <Bunie> now something im used to doing in windows: Typing Directories. it seems Gnome doesnt have a place for me to type a directory?
[10:50] <lunner> I have come
[10:51] <lunner> Where are hoxily
[10:51] <oYeVoVeYo> Plz help, my laptop still doesn't work with the wired connection :/
[10:52] <lunner> query hoxily
[10:53] <makara> oYeVoVeYo: set a static IP as a workaround
[10:53] <dr_willis> oYeVoVeYo:  start by pinging your router and dns servers? or 8.8.8.8 and see if you have connection?
[10:53] <oYeVoVeYo> Kay, let me see...
[10:55] <oYeVoVeYo> dr_willis, it says network is unreachable
[10:57] <lunner> 我爱你
[10:57] <oCean> !cn | lunner
[10:58] <dr_willis> oYeVoVeYo:  time to check ifconfig command output. see if the card is even seen or configured then.
[10:59] <atvr> hi everyone :) i need help, i have installed ubuntu 11.10 alternative way via DVD-CD, when installation prompt me to reboot, i am not able to boot into ubuntu, after the grub menu it getting me to a command shell login, the system is a laptop toshiba satallite L745D with a AMD radeon graphic card
[10:59] <dr_willis> atvr:  and 'startx' gives some sort of error message?
[11:00] <atvr> dr_willis: yes ``Fatal server error: no screens found``
[11:01] <atvr> dr_willis: and there is a log file for more information
[11:01] <dr_willis> and the 11.10 live cd dosent work at all either? as a test you tried the 12.04 alpha desktop cd yet?
[11:02] <atvr> dr_willis: i you want i can pastbinit but i dont remember hore
[11:02] <atvr> how*
[11:02] <atvr> dr_willis: to make the live cd work i have to put nomodeset
[11:02] <Da|Mummy> having some trouble reading ext4 drives from windows. im able to read the ssd that xubuntu is installed onto using ext2explore, but how do i acces the ones mounted on /media ?
[11:03] <atvr> dr_willis: put ive put nomodeset in grub permanantly but that dosnt work
[11:03] <atvr> but**
[11:03] <dr_willis> Da|Mummy:  /media is just a location for filesystems to get mounted to.
[11:03] <atvr> dr_willis: and i didnt tryed the 12.04 beta
[11:04] <dr_willis> if your linux stuff is on sdd1 then you just  acces that with  the ext2explore tool.
[11:04] <Da|Mummy> dr_willis, right, i know that much
[11:04] <oYeVoVeYo> dr_willis, well, I tried that comment and I get the "lo (a lot of stuff followed)" and "wlan0... (again a lot of stuff followed)" well, how do I see if the card is seen or what?
[11:04] <Bunie> gnite guys, thanks for all the help!
[11:04] <metaspike> atvr, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit  - from the borked system maybe we can figuresomething out. its possible that the proporietory drivers would work bter.
[11:04] <Da|Mummy> my other drives, which are just regular hdds, are also on ext4, but i cant read those
[11:04] <dr_willis> oYeVoVeYo:  a wired card would be eth# - wireless would be wlan# normally
[11:05] <atvr> dr_willis: i am little scared aboute beta one
[11:05] <dr_willis> atvr:  its just a test. to se eif it works at all
[11:06] <atvr> dr_willis: okay i will give a try but first im gonna pastbinit the log to metaspike
[11:06] <metaspike> atvr, dr_willis, prehaps he could try to install the prop driver with jockey from cli?
[11:06] <dr_willis> atvr:  you were told about jockey-text yesterday werent you?
[11:07] <atvr> dr_willis: yes, but i dont know how to do it
[11:07] <metaspike> i have a crazy issue with debian testing kernel, I know this isn't #debian but if anyone is interested please pm me or speak with me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:07] <dr_willis> run the command sudo jockey-text
[11:07]  * dr_willis wonders if the ati wiki page covers this.
[11:07] <dr_willis> !ati
[11:08] <oYeVoVeYo> dr_willis, I got the "wlan0   Link encap: Ethernet   HWaddr:......." when I typed in ifconfig, so, it's not wired?? Any ideas how I can make it wired? O.o
[11:09] <atvr> metaspike: http.//paste.ubuntu.com/789507/
[11:09] <dr_willis> oYeVoVeYo:  if your wired nic isent showing up in dmesg, or ifconfig. then there may be a module or driver you need to load.
[11:09] <metaspike> oYeVoVeYo, good on you for tryin ifconfig. you can manually control interfaces with:  sudo ifconfig <interface> <up/down>  . ie sudo ifconfig eth0 up  ( turn eth0 on)
[11:10] <oYeVoVeYo> Awesome, thanks :D dr_willis & metaspike, I'll try again, lol :P
[11:11] <metaspike> true. u could let us know what your running with - lspci | pastebinit
[11:13] <atvr> dr_willis: sudo jockey-text says Additional drivers, searching for available driver... and then it just came back to the terminal input
[11:13] <tauren> I have an external USB drive that is NTSF formatted. It always mounts with file permissions 700 owned by my user.
[11:14] <tauren> I want to set specific file permissions so plex media server can access it.
[11:14] <tauren> Where can I set these? Looking in /etc/mtab, I see the settings.
[11:14] <dr_willis> tauren:  set options for it in /etc/fstab
[11:14] <tauren> but I can't edit mtab, for when I unmount the drive, the values cchange
[11:15] <tauren> dr_willis: I use fstab even for removable media?
[11:15] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[11:15] <dr_willis> tauren:  its the easiest way. there is the ntfs-config tool
[11:15] <atvr> dr_willis:  how can i get the beta one
[11:15] <dr_willis> but normally you dont 'share' removeable medis.
[11:15] <dr_willis> !beta
[11:15] <metaspike> atvr, (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
[11:16] <tauren> dr_willis: ok, thanks. I'll add it to fstab then.
[11:16] <dr_willis> Hmm.. #ubunt+1 perhaps has the rigut url atvr
[11:16] <metaspike> try sudo aptitude install fglrx-updates ? yeah, no module no joy, you might have better luck with the alpha
[11:16] <metaspike> aptitude/apt-get
[11:18] <atvr> metaspike: what do i have to put in command line, sorry i am new
[11:21] <metaspike> atvr, its only a suggestion. but - sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates  . in the command line of the computer after xorg fails to boot. i doubt itll work but ya know ;)
[11:23] <atvr> metaspike: there is some update maybe its a good day :)
[11:23] <atvr> metaspike: after update finish i just reboot ??
[11:24] <dr_willis> a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' might help also atvr
[11:24] <dr_willis> its possible its some bug thats been fixed in some updates
[11:24] <oYeVoVeYo> OMG :D thanks you guys soooooooooooooooo much, it works now, yippppeeeeeeeeeee
[11:24] <kristjan> hi, of which package is GtkFileChooser part of (for bug reporting)
[11:24] <metaspike> atvr, yes
[11:25] <atvr> dr_willis: i did that yesterday, i cant find the url for the beta i am on the channel you tell me but no one reply me lol
[11:25] <metaspike> atvr, dr_wills has a point.. sudo apt-get update  - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  - first
[11:26] <atvr> metaspike: i already did that yesterday, there was like 300 update XD but no luck it didnt help
[11:27] <jose__> hola
[11:28] <metaspike> update is still a good idea, seeing as the repo may have changed since yesterday
[11:28] <atvr> metaspike: if you would be here i would give you a kiss :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[11:38] <atvr> jussi: thanks :)
[11:38] <mikcal> am I at the correct chat to ask help for Pinguy?
[11:40] <dr_willis> mikcal:  it has its own channel and forums.
[11:40] <tony_> please could someone assist me to install a theme
[11:40] <dr_willis> theme for what exactly?
[11:41] <mikcal> how do i find that channel?
[11:41] <tony_> desktop theme... just want something different
[11:41] <atvr> dr_willis: i have an issue with my computer fans and battery status now can you help me
[11:41] <dr_willis> mikcal:  pinguy homepage perhaps.
[11:41] <mikcal> thank you
[11:42] <atvr> dr_willis: the fan just started but still the battery status dont wokr
[11:42] <dr_willis> atvr:  most likely not. You could check the forrums and askubuntu.com about your exact make laptop. there might be some work arounds.
[11:42] <dr_willis> cutting edge hardware.. can be problematic
[11:42] <atvr> dr_willis: okay thanks alot for helping me too :)
[11:43] <tony_> dr_willis, could you assist me to install a theme?
[11:43] <dr_willis> theme for what EXACTLY...
[11:43] <atvr> dr_willis: what is cutting edge hardware ?? newest hardware ?
[11:44] <dr_willis> atvr:  anything out since last release :)
[11:44] <tony_> I want a different screen layout of my desktop and the only thing I can think of is another theme...
[11:45] <dr_willis> and what desktop are you using?
[11:45] <atvr> dr_willis: okep your right my laptop is one month old :)
[11:45] <dr_willis> atvr:  that is the main reason for all your issues then.
[11:45] <atvr> dr_willis: ya, i cant wait till the next release :)
[11:46] <tony_> ubuntu 11.10
[11:46] <tony_> using the default desktop
[11:46] <lost_architect> join asterisk
[11:46] <dr_willis> a theme wont change desktop layout. You can install cvarious gnome-shell themes to change decorations and so forth.
[11:46] <lost_architect> join #asterisk
[11:48] <tony_> am trying but not getting anywhere... the last theme I tried to install made no difference
[11:49] <dr_willis> check the webupd8 guides on tweaking gnome-shell perhaps.
[11:49] <dr_willis> and i hope you are not trying to get gnome2 themes.
[11:49] <tony_> is there a beginners channel where someone can assist me through it
[11:50] <family_> hello
[11:50] <metaspike> ubottu, themes
[11:50] <dr_willis> i basically just cut/pasted to install some xtra stuff for gnome/shell/unity from the webupd8 tweaks page. and uses some themes they have in their ppas
[11:51] <dr_willis> that themes factoid may be out of date for the unity/gnome-shell themes
[11:51] <family_> i cant update my linux qimo
[11:51] <metaspike> hmmm good point.
[11:51] <dr_willis> you basicaly install gnome-tweak and a few extra plugins, then grab some themes and selec them
[11:52] <family_> my ubuntu is xpierd
[11:52] <family_> and i need upgrade it but i cant
[11:52] <tony_> sounds easy but will try
[11:52] <dr_willis> !eol
[11:56] <Teratogen> I can't say I am a big fan of Unity
[11:56] <ssta> apparently "the majority" like it
[11:56] <dr_willis> complaints in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[12:04] <VectorX> hi whats the system called where you got a server and clients connect to it sort of creating virtual desktops |?
[12:04] <dr_willis> !vnc
[12:06] <VectorX> dr_willis no it was like lts or something
[12:06] <VectorX> thin clients

[12:06] <rly> To start Ubuntu it takes 3 minutes and 10 seconds on my Intel Core2Duo laptop with 4GB RAM.
[12:06] <rly> That seems a bit ridiculous. Don't you agree?
[12:06] <oCean> VectorX: you mean http://www.ltsp.org/ ?
[12:07] <rly> I am running 11.10.
[12:07] <VectorX> oCean yeah i think so
[12:07] <oCean> VectorX: there's a wikipage https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
[12:07] <VectorX> ty, want to give it a go
[12:08] <rly> For fun: look that up on Google. Already reporting in f*cking 2009.
[12:08] <owenll> rly you could install bootchart to get a graphical illustration of the boot sequwnce
[12:08] <rly> reported*
[12:09] <farrukhjon> hi all!
[12:09] <oCean> rly: if you have to obfuscate your words, don't use them
[12:09] <rly> Also, that bug report was closed for not enough information.
[12:10] <rly> Pro hint: when people report there is a problem, there is a problem.
[12:10] <opylk> Hello, people! Happy New Year! I wanna wsih you all the best. Bless you)
[12:10] <rly> I think 9.04 booted in about 30 seconds or so.
[12:12] <farrukhjon> how auto-hide or non visible activities panel (Gnome Shell ) when it's no need
[12:12] <dr_willis> webupd8 has some gnome-shell tweaking guides - ive only skimm3ed them.
[12:12] <dr_willis> I think there wsa some gnome-shell extension for that.
[12:13] <fantego> hi all
[12:14] <36DAAINSU> guys, ubuntu takes like 3 minutes to start up for me. on the terminal, it shows something like a fsck output, but it stays staic for ages
[12:14] <fantego> today gdm error on startup and after i have reinstalled it, this error popped out /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with error status 256
[12:14] <mikcal> text on my screen, too dim
[12:18] <Penggu> hi. just installed 10.10 64-bit to an external usb hdd. i get "error: file not found." and "grub rescue>" after a successful install. the hdd is formatted ext4 and all data including /boot is on a single, 1st partition. on the grub prompt, if i do ls (hd0,1)/ - I can see some files, but if I do ls (hd0,1)/boot - there are no files there at all. what's happened to my /boot folder ?!
[12:20] <Penggu> i can see a lot of modules under /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc (on a 64 bit install? will it matter?)
[12:23] <TheAncientGoat> guys, how can I switch my root partition to ext3 from btrfs?
[12:25] <almoxarife> with vlc on one machine I can play it remotely (sound) on another machine, by picking the externals hardware from gnome-sound, pretty much just works, if I try to run amarok it will play external for about 1.5 secs and its done, everytime, thoughts?
[12:31] <rokia> hello, i have a question, how can i change the charset to ISO on ubuntu. i tried that locale -> LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1; export LC_CTYPE but it tells me impossible to change this parameter (fr_FR.ISO-8859-1). no such file or directory of this type
[12:35] <totesmuhgoats> hey guys
[12:35] <dr_willis> moo
[12:36] <phong_> morning all, happy new year
[12:36] <totesmuhgoats> i want to install virtualbox, but I need the extension pack. I am wondering what the best way to do this is since the extension pack is not in the repos. Should i install the virtualbox package from the website and then the extension pack package so that the one won't update independently of the other? or should i add a PPA for both to keep them updating together?
[12:37] <rly> totesmuhgoats: you should get everything from Oracle.
[12:37] <totesmuhgoats> rly: so just install the packages as a one time thing?
[12:37] <aguitel> how install virtualbox from terminal ?
[12:37] <totesmuhgoats> aguitel: man apt-get
[12:38] <dr_willis> !vbox
[12:38] <rly> totesmuhgoats:  as long as you get everything from their website, you should be fine.
[12:38] <rly> totesmuhgoats: Oracle people hate Ubuntu packaging, AFAIK.
[12:38] <rly> totesmuhgoats: they don't support it, for example.
[12:39] <almoxarife> aguitel: you want to run it headless?
[12:39] <totesmuhgoats> yea, i noticed they didn't have a PPA, but i was concerned because the version numbers have to correspond and i figured the repo package would update from time to time
[12:39] <aguitel> what is headless ?
[12:39] <totesmuhgoats> aguitel: without a monitor == headless
[12:39] <aguitel> with monitor
[12:40] <totesmuhgoats> aguitel: short version 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox'
[12:40] <aguitel> totesmuhgoats, and what is virtualbox-ose ?
[12:40] <rokia> and if i restart my pc , it comes back to fr_FR.UTF_8
[12:41] <almoxarife> aguitel: there are two versions, one requires a ppa
[12:41] <aguitel> in repo are ose
[12:42] <almoxarife> aguitel: yes, and the other works with the extension packs
[12:42] <SwashBuckla> How do I found out what package refers to another? "Package libavcodec-extra-52 is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[12:42] <almoxarife> aguitel: I would suggest the ppa dwnload, its current, and it works
[12:43] <aguitel> almoxarife, what is the faster version ?
[12:43] <aguitel> my pc is slower
[12:43] <aguitel> old
[12:44] <almoxarife> aguitel: ???? I have not used the non-ppa, so I can't say
[12:44] <aguitel> only 1 mega ram
[12:44] <atvr> dr_willis i have now an issue conecting to wifi
[12:45] <Oer> aguitel, you need 1024 mega ram at least
[12:45] <aguitel> Oer, this is what i have
[12:45] <almoxarife> aguitel: that may be too little for either
[12:45] <atvr> almoxarife hey, my ubuntu is working now :) but i cant connect to wifi
[12:45] <almoxarife> aguitel: try it, nothing to loose
[12:46] <aguitel> almoxarife, ok
[12:46] <almoxarife> atvr: I would consider no wifi as not working
[12:47] <atvr> almoxarife why, i cant do nothing to make it work? my wifi is detected but i just cant conect to it :S
[12:47] <almoxarife> aguitel: can you throw the virtualbox on a machine that you can connect remote?
[12:47] <aguitel> almoxarife, why remote?
[12:48] <almoxarife> aguitel: assuming you got more ram on a remote
[12:48] <aguitel> almoxarife, a ok not now
[12:52] <almoxarife> atvr:  pastebinit /var/log/syslog  <-- type it into a terminal
[12:53] <SwashBuckla> How do I found out what package refers to another? "Package libavcodec-extra-52 is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[12:54] <atvr> almoarife http://paste.ubuntu.com/789568/
[12:54] <aguitel> almoxarife, i installed virtualbox ,i try loading xubuntu and it say need pae ,why ?

[12:59] <Teratogen> I have a complaint about Unity!
[12:59] <dr_willis> !brainstorm
[12:59] <dr_willis> This is support channel Teratogen .  Not a complaint channel.
[12:59] <Teratogen> I'm switching to kubuntu!
[13:00] <dr_willis> go ahead. or try xubuntu, or lubuntu.
[13:00] <dr_willis> or gnome-shell
[13:03] <totesmuhgoats> dr_willis: this sort of thing happens in ##windows all the time
[13:03] <totesmuhgoats> most of the time the complaints are completely unfounded
[13:04] <dr_willis> yep. thats why this channell has a bit of a short temper with complaiants these days. :)
[13:04] <burnt> happy new year... how do I change the selection color from this horrible orange?
[13:04] <totesmuhgoats> though i guess it shouldn't surprise me, since half the time the users with the complaints exit on 'that's it! i'm switching to ubuntu!'
[13:04] <burnt> for txt and for files in nautilus many thanks
[13:07] <burnt> is anyone about that I could ask a simple question from, many thanks!
[13:08] <drake1> hello, why can't you drag the "cheese" to the waste bin?
[13:08] <drake1> from the launcher
[13:09] <almoxarife> atvr: I saw your wifi connection dying every so often, reverting by to eth0
[13:10] <bunnyfun> is rsync the best way to synchronize two large music folders? (and do you know of a good tut for that?)
[13:11] <rly> dr_willis: people mostly need 'support' when things do NOT work.
[13:11] <dr_willis> theres that uniscsone program also.
[13:11] <dr_willis> Unisone unesine..  i never can spell it right
[13:11] <rly> dr_willis: all wrong.
[13:11] <rly> dr_willis: :)
[13:12] <theadmin> dr_willis: Unison?
[13:12] <bunnyfun> lol ok thanks
[13:12] <aimwin> happy new year everyone
[13:12] <theadmin> Say, does Ubuntu nowadays still come with Firefox?
[13:12] <bunnyfun> not to sound too lazy but which is easier?
[13:12] <dr_willis> !info unison
[13:12] <mazda01> Happy new year
[13:12] <dr_willis> unison has a nice gui i recall.
[13:12] <bunnyfun> ah so it is good for ntfs?
[13:12] <atvr> almoxarife what can i do to solves that
[13:12] <rly> bunnyfun: they have different purposes.
[13:12] <aimwin> This is my first time here, can I start request help or what is the procedure to request help?
[13:13] <dr_willis> the detiails aer imporntant. :)
[13:13] <rly> bunnyfun: if you want to sync in one direction, you use rsync.
[13:13] <bunnyfun> the files are on ntfs and i want ot convert and sync
[13:13] <rly> bunnyfun: syncing in two => unison.
[13:13] <theadmin> aimwin: Just ask questions
[13:13] <bunnyfun> ah good so unison sounds best
[13:13] <bunnyfun> thanks
[13:13] <rly> bunnyfun: if you have n computers, you want a distributed file system.
[13:14] <jacobian> I can't seem to move windows around in the pager in unity, is that normal?
[13:14] <theadmin> aimwin: When talking to someone in particular, add their name in front of the message, though, like "theadmin: ". You can normally type first few letters of the name and hit Tab to complete the name. In GUI clients, clicking on the name also often does the trick
[13:14] <mazda01> I have a DCR-SR65 Sony which records mpeg2-ps right to the internal 30GB HDD. I can't seem to figure out how to get the files off of it within Ubuntu. Any thoughts
[13:15] <dr_willis> mazda01:  firewire connection? or usb?
[13:16] <mazda01> usb
[13:16] <mazda01> it show sup in DMESG
[13:16] <bunnyfun> does unison have to be installed on both machines/
[13:16] <mazda01> as sdd
[13:16] <mazda01> device sdd
[13:16] <dr_willis> try mounting it by hand.
[13:17] <mazda01> Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0
[13:17] <dr_willis> sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd may show if its sdd or sdd1
[13:17] <mazda01> i didn't even attempt that because its not in fdisk -l   ?
[13:17] <dr_willis> could try anyway i guess.. if its sdd and not sdd1 that may be confuseing things.
[13:18] <mazda01> its most likely me not knowing the camera settings
[13:18] <mazda01> i'll have to look in the settings for a USB mode or something, maybe?
[13:18] <mazda01> dr_willis, right
[13:18] <mazda01> dr_willis, confusing as it doesn't have a partition table. :-)
[13:19] <dr_willis> i had a digital cam corder. that showed up as a hd. ages ago.

[13:22] <aimwin> Then I found Genome-shell is install so I login use option Gnome-shell, and found the Gnome3 (Gnome-shell) hang up, reboot many times, even through recovery back to 3.0.12 kernel the desktop just hang up after a screen with top bar and Internet connection done. I could only Clrt+Alt 1 to open terminal and sudo reboot.
[13:22] <aimwin> Can we go in and edit any login default files so it will boot into Unity or Gnome fallback which work perfectly for days now.
[13:22] <mazda01> atvr, it's all good bud. we all start somewhere

[13:28] <spao> mazda01 , ubuntu makes me paranoid.
[13:28] <spao> yes
[13:28] <atvr> almoxarife, there are some issue updating where you want me to past it ??
[13:29] <dr_willis> spao:  do you have an actual suport issue?
[13:29] <spao> depends on the day.
[13:29] <atvr> almoxarife, W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lexical/hwe-wireless/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

[13:32] <Tebyghenya> Ubuntu have a wallpaper pack that changes randomly the wallpaper each X minutes. How can I make a similar pack with my own images?
[13:32] <atvr> can i back up my ubuntu setting into a usb hdd
[13:32] <spao> what are the risks?
[13:33] <Gentoo64> spao, running irc as root is just bad practice as with everything else
[13:33] <Gentoo64> dont mean your gona get hacked
[13:33] <spao> hmm
[13:33] <dr_willis> Tebyghenya:  theres a .xml file i recall that does that. I saw a tutorial on making one ages ago on the webupd8 or omgubuntu blog site.
[13:33] <Seveas> atvr, yes, by backing up your homedir, /etc and a list of installed packages
[13:34] <dr_willis> doing anything as root that dosent need to be done as root is a potential security issue.
[13:34] <atvr> Seveas, okay, but is there a way to automaticly make a back up
[13:35] <aimwin> Dear-Gurus, Can any one help me with the above problems? Thank in Advance, need the answer to help making tutorial in ubuntuforum.org
[13:35] <deli> i have xubuntu and everytime it goes standby a while, it freezes and cant get it working again(have to shut down by force and reboot again)
[13:35] <Tebyghenya> dr_willis: does it (.xml files) works for Ubuntu 11.10?
[13:36] <spao> gentoo64 #gentoo is the channel you wanna b
[13:36] <aimwin> theadmin: Can I ask you ? or we have to wait for someone else?
[13:37] <theadmin> aimwin: I can't answer questions I have no answers to.
[13:37] <deli> i have xubuntu and everytime it goes standby a while, it freezes and cant get it working again(have to shut down by force and reboot again)
[13:37] <yeats> aimwin: you have a very specific set of circumstances (edubuntu using different environments than most)... - you might ask on the Ubuntu Forums?
[13:39] <fluter> hi,
[13:39] <fluter> is there a simple floater screensaver in the xscreensaver suites?
[13:40] <almoxarife> atvr: https://launchpad.net/~tista/+archive/x120e/+index?field.series_filter=oneiric <-- look at this
[13:42] <johey> I have encrypted home directory. Sometimes files turns to 0 bytes, and accessing them results in Input/output error
[13:42] <johey> Remounting does not help.
[13:43] <johey> Can I recover such files?
[13:43] <aimwin> yeats: actually I was writing tutorial for newbies who want Ubuntu 11.10 classic menu, and not unity, so I was suggesting Edubuntu 11.10 with option classic-fallback and testing the installation to see if it is stable, and it was very stable, till I got into Gnome-Shell. So if some one could help here, it will be great so I can proof if that method is unstable way of achieve Ubuntu 11.10...
[13:43] <aimwin> ...Classic menu out of the installation box.
[13:43] <aimwin> Is there other IRC channel that could help
[13:43] <Teratogen> johey, the ultimate encryption is rm
[13:43] <Teratogen> did you do a rm?
[13:43] <sjihs>  Can xcalc do stuff like bitwise arithmetic and dec->hex (hex->dec)?
[13:43] <mongy> aimwin: I found it easier to just use xfce.
[13:44] <johey> Teratogen, What file should I remove?
[13:44] <Teratogen> I was being facetious, johey
[13:44] <Teratogen> I thought maybe you rm'ed some files!
[13:45] <spao> gigasoft !
[13:45] <spao> :D
[13:45] <johey> Teratogen, No. This is actually a known bug, but I cannot find any hints on recovering.
[13:45] <Teratogen> rm provides ultimate compression and encryption
[13:45] <spao> lol root change you root :D
[13:46] <deli> i have xubuntu and everytime it goes standby a while, it freezes and cant get it working again(have to shut down by force and reboot again)
[13:46] <atvr> almoxarife, i added the ppa now, what you want to do
[13:46] <Gentoo64> deli, disable standby
[13:46] <Gentoo64> :)
[13:47] <almoxarife> atvr: which?
[13:47] <deli> Gentoo64, i'd rather solve it differently
[13:47] <aimwin> mongy: Thank you , I have Lubuntu on Hdd as well, but try to help many newbies who still want Ubuntu 11.10 with classic-fallback
[13:47] <Gentoo64> deli, well quite hard for anyone to say. apart from reading the logs
[13:48] <atvr> almoxarife, ppa:tista/x120e
[13:48] <deli> Gentoo64, no tips at all?? (had this from the beginning of the installation)
[13:49] <almoxarife> atvr: update
[13:49] <mongy> aimwin: if it's gnome-shell that is unstable then you might wanna upgrade it, but I don't know if there is a ppa for it for ubuntu.
[13:49] <Gentoo64> deli, no idea :s sorry
[13:49] <atvr> almoxarife, okay and after that my problem should be gone ?? :)
[13:49] <almoxarife> atvr: no
[13:49] <deli> Gentoo64, thanks anyway

A couple of the supposedly fixed bugs listed next to firefox at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html are still present.

[14:18] <Guest76333> yes did that
[14:18] <almoxarife> atvr: btw, how far are you from your wifi router?
[14:18] <kudlmudl> TheHackOps: hm... nothing network related
[14:19] <kudlmudl> TheHackOps: the point is that this laptop has a network plug...
[14:19] <TheHackOps> kudlmudl, are you trying to use wireless?
[14:19] <atvr> almoxarife, right now i am about 3feet XD
[14:19] <Guest76333> no desktop

[14:20] <kudlmudl> TheHackOps: Dell Latitude.. intel pentium 3 designed for MS Win 2000, NT and 98 :P
[14:21] <TheHackOps> kudlmudl, WAHAHAAH NICE but about your problem does the port work under windows?
[14:22] <kudlmudl> TheHackOps: there is no MS windows on it anymore... don't know if it worked back then
[14:22] <TheHackOps> kudlmudl, could be the card is broken
[14:22] <atvr> almoxarife, maybe i should wait for the next ubuntu release becaus my laptop is the lastest technologie and maybe there is no driver yet for this
[14:23] <Guest76333> do i install
[14:23] <kudlmudl> TheHackOps: guess so
[14:23] <Guest76333> ok i try tht thanks
[14:23] <TheHackOps> atvr, Updating ubuntu is like swinging a knife blind at your friend to remove a cyst its a danger and should be a last restor

[14:25] <worrow> can I install mac in virtual box on linux?
[14:25] <kudlmudl> TheHackOps: guess it is broken...
[14:26] <TheHackOps> worrow, If you have hours of time
[14:26] <TheHackOps> kudlmudl, Simple way to try would be to install windows if you can be bothered
[14:26] <worrow> virtualbox doesn't make it easy like in mac or windows?
[14:26] <almoxarife> worrow: mac x86 should work
[14:27] <worrow> mac x86?? explain please.
[14:27] <ssta> worrow: mac in virtualbox is...tricky, in any environment
[14:27] <TheHackOps> almoxarife, Your treading dangerous waters
[14:27] <almoxarife> worrow: don't you mean an apple os?
[14:27] <worrow> is there something else I can use in linux besides VB then?
[14:27] <kudlmudl> TheHackOps: lol... i think id have to orgnize myslefe a windows OS first :P ... long time no install :P
[14:27] <worrow> yes, I have 6 versions of mac
[14:27] <karl-augustt> hello! happy new year to every body!
[14:27] <TheHackOps> kudlmudl, Yeh same windows is to anoying to install
[14:27] <Guest76333> happy new year to you too
[14:27] <almoxarife> worrow: one of them x86?
[14:27] <oCean> worrow: it's illegal to run macos on anything else but mac hardware
[14:28] <ssta> worrow: not least because the license doesn't allow it, so it's really hard to find support
[14:28] <worrow> almostroot,  do you mean PPC?
[14:28] <karl-augustt> wish sucess in any linux project!
[14:28] <Guest76333> hackops do i install blackberry library thing
[14:28] <TheHackOps> ssta, no its not. its ilegal to run a cracked copy of it
[14:28] <worrow> I only need it to run so I can drive share
[14:28] <atvr> almoxarife, http://paste.ubuntu.com/789619/
[14:28] <almoxarife> worrow: no idea, what is ppc?
[14:28] <TheHackOps> Guest76333, Hold up im testing somethgin
[14:28] <worrow> well PPC came before intel
[14:28] <ssta> TheHackOps: no, it's only licensed on apple hardware
[14:28] <Guest76333> ok i hold
[14:28] <worrow> IE OSX tiger
[14:28] <oCean> TheHackOps: ssta is right
[14:29] <oCean> worrow: please don't continue that here
[14:29] <TheHackOps> ssta, If they ever took me to court in Australia they would not have a leg to stand on as long as i had a legit copy
[14:29] <ssta> TheHackOps: going to court isn't the issue (well, not primarily).  Getting support is (imo)
[14:29] <worrow> oCean, really? With all the illegal stuff out there? I own my discs, I shall do what I see fit with them
[14:30] <ssta> you can get it running (after a fashion), but it's not really fully functional
[14:30] <TheHackOps> ssta, Your point is valid im just saying we have laws against big company's bs contracts
[14:30] <worrow> Apple can s*** my ba**s
[14:30] <oCean> worrow: yes, all illegal discussion is offtopic here
[14:30] <oCean> worrow: also, if you have to obfuscate your words, don't use them here
[14:30] <TheHackOps> Yep were offtopic soz guys
[14:30] <worrow> It is not illegal for educational purposes
[14:30] <TheHackOps> LUL
[14:30] <oCean> worrow: it is, now drop it please
[14:31] <TheHackOps> Last offtopic thing im going to say is "But i was learning how to make meth i wasn't going to sell it or nothing"
[14:31] <worrow> oCean,  wow, congrats

[14:34] <MonkeyDust> kicked too fast
[14:34] <kudlmudl> i can't understand what dirves people like worrow... i mean there is no benefit for him from doing that
[14:34] <TheHackOps> A reminder i don't own a blackberry so im guessing edumacatedmelly
[14:34] <oCean> kudlmudl: please don't continue
[14:35] <kudlmudl> kk

[14:40] <scotty^> Hi all.  I'm running Lucid and have updated to Firefox 9.0.1 from lucid-proposed.  A couple of the supposedly fixed bugs listed next to firefox at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html are still present.  The bug reports do not currently have any verification-related tags.  Should I go ahead and add verification failed tags?
[14:40] <lilibox> hi
[14:41] <TheHackOps> hi
[14:41] <scotty^> Oops, I meant verification-failed
[14:41] <lilibox> i would like to know how is the most easiest way switch to level3

[14:48] <ribot> hi
[14:48] <almoxarife> atvr: I want you to look at your wifi settings, there is ipv4 and ipv6, insure ipv6 is set to 'ignore'
[14:49] <ribot> normally, is there a page which includes the apache 404 message? can i change it?
[14:49] <TheHackOps> oCean, How do i know which number the kernal i want is
[14:49] <bindi> ribot: #apache question really. "change 404 apache" on google, first page is full of working results
[14:49] <atvr> almoxarife, i have set it now
[14:50] <almoxarife> atvr: set to ignore?
[14:50] <atvr> almoxarife, yes
[14:50] <almoxarife> atvr: do the same for eth0
[14:50] <atvr> almoxarife, okep
[14:50] <ribot> bindi: i wonder about the ubuntu configuration
[14:51] <atvr> almoxarife, done!
[14:51] <almoxarife> atvr: done?
[14:51] <TheHackOps> almoxarife, How do i know which kernal version is which so i can set a new default option in grub\
[14:51] <bindi> ribot: apache installed from ubuntu repos isnt special in any way
[14:51] <ribot> bindi: ok, thanks
[14:51] <atvr> almoxarife, yes i have set eth0 to ignore
[14:51] <bindi> ribot: add ubuntu to search parameters to bring more specific guides :p
[14:52] <almoxarife> atvr: you set ipv6 only to be ignored, yes?
[14:52] <oCean> TheHackOps: grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[14:52] <atvr> almoxarife, yes
[14:52] <oCean> TheHackOps: more info in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377754

[14:53] <almoxarife> atvr: logout and back in, reset network manager
[14:53] <lilibox> ctrl,alt,backspace does not help
[14:53] <atvr> almoxarife, okay brb

[14:54] <almoxarife> atvr: in terminal           pastebinit /var/log/kern.log
[14:54] <TheHackOps> brb going to see if it worked
[14:55] <atvr> almoxarife, http://paste.ubuntu.com/789634/
[15:07] <atvr> almoxarife, i dont know if its possible because in windows it was but would it be possible for you to get remote acces to my laptop and configure it
[15:10] <almoxarife> atvr: don't allow some stranger to do that
[15:11] <atvr> almoxarife, yeah i know but, i am not really stressed about that :)
[15:11] <almoxarife> atvr: it is possible, look at 'teamviewer' , I fix my mothers(god bless the woman) that way
[15:12] <atvr> almoxarife, do you think you could fix mine that way :)
[15:13] <almoxarife> atvr: no idea, but that would not be any fun for you
[15:13] <atvr> almoxarife, what you mean by any fun for me lol
[15:15] <almoxarife> atvr: youu gonna tell people someone remoted in and fixed your linux issues? where is your dignity?

[15:18] <xsaidx> any idea why ?
[15:19] <Ubuntu_NewB> Happy New Year..... i'm starting the new year upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 to a new ssd drive... my question is: Is there a way to copy the list of my installed apps in ubuntu 11.04 so i can get the 11.10 with all the apps without installing one by one manually? .....
[15:19] <bao_> XBMC has a deb file???
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> steadyflow is kind of download manager
[15:20] <bao_> steadyflow run on Google Chrome??
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> Ubuntu_NewB  http://paste.ubuntu.com/789657/
[15:22] <AceKing> For some reason Ubuntu Software Center is not working on my PC. It takes forever to load, and when it comes up it's just a white screen. I tried restarting my PC, but it still does the same thing. Any suggestions? I'm running 11.10 64 bit
[15:24] <Ubuntu_NewB> MonkeyDust: Thanks a lot!
[15:24] <pikaciu> how come that i cannot get audio using ssh in the local machine  ? thanx
[15:25] <compdoc> audio over ssh?
[15:25] <pikaciu> yes
[15:25] <compdoc> beep sounds? or music? or what?
[15:25] <pikaciu> music
[15:26] <compdoc> ssh opens terminal screen, running a bash shell. text based. how ould you play music? guess Im missing soemthing
[15:26] <popsch> is there an equivalent to 'alsa force-reload' for pulse audio?
[15:27] <pikaciu> compdoc: i use ssh-X totem and so i expected to listen music.
[15:28] <Ubuntu_NewB> Last question.... i want to use my actually ubuntu drive (that ill replace for a ssd) for install windows for my g.f. and replace her drive.... how do i delete all ubuntu partition and the grub loader... i know that windows won't be able to partition the disk or else
[15:28] <pikaciu> compdoc: i got video bau not audio
[15:28] <pikaciu> but
[15:30] <histo> pikaciu: why not mount your music via sshfs and play it?
[15:30] <MonkeyDust> that's how i do it
[15:30] <pikaciu> histo: idon't know sshfs... what's that ?
[15:30] <TLFADE> Can Anyone please help me with booting my pc ?
[15:31] <MonkeyDust> TLFADE  what's the issue?
[15:31] <mongy> Ubuntu_NewB, just repartition it during windows install.
[15:31] <histo> pikaciu: You can mount directorys remotely via ssh with sshfs
[15:31] <histo> pikaciu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS
[15:32] <TLFADE> MonkeyDust: I can't see the boot process and it sometimes boot and sometimes don't also can't apply suggested workarounds on documentation due to aloc mag is broken when I press ctrl + x
[15:32] <pikaciu> histo: oh... yes..thanx
[15:32] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: i try that and windows says.... can't partition the drive or find partition.... i already format the drive to ntfs and still nothing
[15:33] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: if i boot without the live usb the grub loader says grub recovery.... so i thing something still remains in the drive
[15:33] <pikaciu> histo: it's similar to samba sharing ?
[15:33] <mongy> Ubuntu_NewB,  boot a livecd then and use gparted
[15:35] <TLFADE> MonkeyDust: it boots with just a black screen with chances to go to desktop or to fail.
[15:35] <paissad> i don't remember, ... what is not installed by default between "su" and "sudo" ?
[15:35] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: i did that... but let me try again and create the partition table
[15:36] <paissad> sudo or* sudo ?
[15:36] <paissad> rooooh, i'm tired, sorry !
[15:36] <Ubuntu_NewB> time to get ubuntu 11.10 on my new ssd drive ;P    thanks everyone for the help!
[15:36] <paissad> su or* sudo ^^ ?
[15:36] <mongy> Ubuntu_NewB, i find it hard to believe windows can't delete partitions during setup..
[15:37] <TLFADE> I have an intel hd and a radeon hd 6770m
[15:37] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: i'll copy the message when i try again..
[15:37] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: bbl
[15:38] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: "Setup cannot find or create a system parititon error"
[15:38] <mongy> Ubuntu_NewB, surely you can remove the partitions already on there?
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> TLFADE  try booting in Recovery mode and choose Repair, maybe that helps
[15:39] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: Yes....
[15:39] <TLFADE> MonkeyDust: I'll try
[15:40] <silvercat> this doesn't make any sense. I can't install nvidia-current because it depends on xorg-video-abi-10 - however this driver is provided by the xorg-core - package, but they don't seem to be aware
[15:40] <silvercat> i need help installing the propiarity-nvidia-driver
[15:41] <Ubuntu_NewB> mongy: thing i got it.... researching in google found this:  maybe i did not leave unallocated space   .... hehhe i don't remeber done that! ;P
[15:42] <mete_cetin> hello! is there anyone know how to activate flashplugins hardware acceleration? btw i use GeForce 9600M GS/PCI/SSE2
[15:43] <aaschez> I have dual boot OS - Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7 - on three systems; all connected to same network. Is it possible to access Windows filesystem while using Ubuntu when Windows session is active? If so, how?
[15:44] <aaschez> acess remotely*
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> aaschez  try ssh
[15:47] <aaschez> MonkeyDust: Yes, but how is Windows account accesible with ssh command from Ubuntu? like user@192.168.x.x when user is from Windows and command in executed in Ubuntu terminal
[15:48] <pikaciu> aachez: install openssh for win 7 and the commands are the same
[15:48] <pank_> MonkeyDust,  what is shh
[15:49] <aaschez> pikaciu: Great! openssh for Windows 7 as well :)
[15:49] <Kolnmenky> Hi I have  a500 GB Seagate external hard drive and I keep getting an input/output error whenever I try to copy files bigger than 100 MB
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> pank_  ssh is secure shell, to make a connection over the network
[15:49] <pikaciu> aachez: but you hare to read the README file
[15:49] <pikaciu> have
[15:50] <pikaciu> aachez: it needs a little configuration
[15:50] <aaschez> pikaciu: http://www.openssh.com/windows.html ?
[15:50] <mete_cetin> why you use ssh instead of smb client to connect windows file sys
[15:51] <shem> hi
[15:51] <pikaciu> aachez: yes... just type openssh for win in Google
[15:51] <shem> can i ask an ubuntu question here?
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> yes
[15:51] <silvercat> i need help installing the propiarity-nvidia-driver, it's not showing in jockey and apt is broken so nvidia-current can't be installed..
[15:52] <pikaciu> mete_cetin: ssh executes commands , samba it's just for sharing
[15:52] <makara> pikaciu: but does it integrate with nautilus GUI?
[15:53] <aaschez> pikaciu: NFS in linux is sama in windows?
[15:53] <aaschez> samba
[15:53] <pikaciu> makara: yes
[15:53] <shem> okay I just installed xubuntu on a slow machine with 512mb ram and 1.7ghz. It's been installing updates for more than one hour now is this normal? It finished downloading updates in about 15 minutes. The mouse seems to be moving but I cannot click on stuff and open like browser. Does this mean its hang? thanks
[15:54] <Gentoo64> shem, leave it for a bit
[15:54] <Gentoo64> shem, it shouldnt take that long though
[15:54] <pikaciu> aachez: samba is a linux app
[15:54] <mete_cetin> pikaciu, i understood that he only wants to reach his files on windows o_O BTW i use putty and openssh for dyn port forwarding
[15:54] <shem> Gentoo64, thanks i will. very strange though
[15:55] <aaschez> pikaciu: What should I use to access Windows fs when within Ubuntu like how NFS allows??
[15:55] <Gentoo64> shem, i would leave it for like another 30 mins or another hour. if its still froze then quit it
[15:55] <pikaciu> aachez: what do you wanna do exactly ?
[15:56] <shem> there is a box that comes up saying configuring gdm with a forward button at the bottom of the box but I cannot click it. when I do nothing happens. so I close it alt+f4 then it appears again and I cannot click it
[15:57] <pikaciu> aachez: if you want only access files ... samba is required... if you want something else you should install ssh
[15:57] <aaschez> pikaciu: I got three systems and few are dual boot with Ubuntua and Windows 7. I can access linux fs of other system with NFS. Similarly, what to use to access Windows fs
[15:57] <pank_> shem, you may try xkill
[15:57] <aaschez> pikaciu: Ok, samba
[15:57] <shem> pank_, what is xkill?
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> shem  to terminate running programs
[15:58] <pikaciu> aachez: but you can use also ftp and vnc
[15:59] <shem> is there a lightwight distro and user friendly than xubuntu?  so I type xkill on the terminal?
[15:59] <pank_> shem,  terminal running program
[15:59] <pikaciu> aachez: if  you are on a dual boot system you can mount your win partition
[15:59] <aaschez> pikaciu: Yes, today I setup ssh, sftp, nfs. Smtp and vnc is what I want to try soon
[15:59] <pikaciu> aachez: or is already present in Place bar
[15:59] <silvercat> i need help installing the propiarity-nvidia-driver, it's not showing in jockey and apt is broken so nvidia-current can't be installed.. now what?
[16:00] <aaschez> pikaciu: Yes, sorry. I meant accessing windows fs remotely when using ubuntu
[16:00] <yeats> silvercat: why is apt broken?
[16:00] <shem> finally after closing that window something is happening but i did not use xkill it just decided to close on itself but now it says 52 minutes remaining oh dear :)
[16:00] <silvercat> yeats: nvidia-current says it is dependant on xorg-video-abi-10 and therefore can't be installed.
[16:01] <pikaciu> aachez: have you configured yet samba ?
[16:02] <aaschez> pikaciu: No
[16:02] <yeats> silvercat: are you using a PPA?
[16:02] <pikaciu> aachez: well... look at /etc/samba/smb.conf
[16:03] <tjiggi_fo> shem, 512 MB of mem is barely enough to handle 500MB of updates. Everything you click on will just slow it down exponentially
[16:03] <pank_> yeats, what ppa ?
[16:03] <mininessie> um is there a reason why on a brand new first time ubuntu install that like less than a week it would slow down
[16:03] <yeats> !ppa
[16:03] <silvercat> yeats: I did, but i tried removing them and clean apt.. didn't help
[16:03] <shem> okay i get it, but i only just started clicking on it after an hour lol
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> pank_  a PPA is a source for one single program
[16:03] <pikaciu> aachez: ping all the machines to be sure they are on line
[16:04] <mininessie> um is there a reason why on a brand new first time ubuntu install that like less than a week it would slow down
[16:05] <MonkeyDust> mininessie  linux should never slow down
[16:05] <tjiggi_fo> shem, something to peruse while you wait: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments
[16:06] <mininessie> MonkeyDust: thats the weird thing i have never seen that before
[16:06] <MonkeyDust> mininessie  then tell us what happens
[16:06] <MonkeyDust> and when
[16:07] <mininessie> MonkeyDust: not sure really it just was like opening applications took for ever and it felt like xp to be honest and when i rebooted it fail a weird error thign came up
[16:08] <shem> geez, i'll bookmark that for later. i want this to finish so that i sleep i've spent at least 20 hours trying to sort out debian and ubuntu.
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> mininessie  that's a bit vague
[16:09] <mininessie> MonkeyDust: well sorry
[16:09] <BluesKaj> MonkeyDust, mininessie , file indexer perhaps
[16:10] <BluesKaj> oops ... not a happy camper
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> she did say sorry ;)
[16:11] <patata> hello
[16:11] <silvercat> i need help installing the propiarity-nvidia-driver, it's not showing in jockey and apt is broken so nvidia-current can't be installed.. now what?
[16:14] <BluesKaj> silvercat, that's why it's called proprietary , it's not listed in jockey , proprietary means it's from the nvidia website
[16:15] <silvercat> BluesKaj: but every guide says "Go to Jockey - click install nvidia current", but it doesn't work for me.
[16:15] <BluesKaj> silvercat, open additional drivers and choose the "recommnded driver" and install it
[16:15] <dario_> hi
[16:16] <silvercat> BluesKaj: It doesn't show in there. the "additional drivers" you speak of is in fact Jockey, afaik.
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> silvercat  http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
[16:18] <ikpL> Happy New Year #ubuntu
[16:18] <nimesh> qit
[16:18] <pikaciu> ikpL: you too :P
[16:18] <BluesKaj> silvercat, yes , that's correct , drop to a tty ,stop gdm or whatever display manager you use , install nvidia-current , do sudo xorg-config , then startx
[16:19] <BluesKaj> silvercat nvidia-xconfig rather
[16:20] <silvercat> BluesKaj: nvidia-current won't install because it claims its dependant on xorg-video-abi-10 - which is provided by the installed package xserver-core
[16:21] <BluesKaj> silvercat, which nvidia card ?
[16:22] <silvercat> BluesKaj: GeForce Go 7-series i think
[16:23] <micadeyeye> scp -t root@192.168.1.101:/opt/loco-nanostation/openwrt-atheros-* root@192.168.1.100:/tmp
[16:23] <micadeyeye> scp: ambiguous target
[16:23] <micadeyeye> Can anyone help me?
[16:24] <micadeyeye> I keep getting the error "ambiguous target."
[16:24] <auronandace> micadeyeye: shouldn't that be /tmp/ rather than /tmp
[16:24] <compdoc> you need the ' : ' ?
[16:25] <compdoc> doesnt that specify a port?
[16:25] <mani990> #UUDJan12
[16:26] <pikaciu> micadeyeye ; it depnd if you are up or down loading
[16:26] <pikaciu> micadeyeye ; it depends
[16:27] <BluesKaj> silvercat, never heard of the xorg-video-abi-10 dependency with nvidia drivers before ... could that be a bug and how old is that card ?
[16:27] <pikaciu> micadeyeye : scp file user@192.000.0.0:file
[16:27] <micadeyeye> pikaciu, am uploading
[16:27] <micadeyeye> yes, but won't work
[16:28] <silvercat> BluesKaj: it's not brand new, bout 4 years I'd guess. and yes, it does sound like a bug.
[16:28] <pikaciu> micadeyeye : try the syntax i gave you
[16:30] <micadeyeye> I am on Fedora. I know it used to work on Ubuntu. I don't want to sound like am new to Linux. But this is new to me.
[16:30] <micadeyeye> pikaciu, permission denied.
[16:30] <micadeyeye> But I used the correct pwd.
[16:30] <BluesKaj> silvercat, that's not so old , I have a 7600gt working well on this pc. Perhaps if you can find the  xorg-video-abi-10 file and purge it ?
[16:31] <micadeyeye> i could ssh into it.
[16:31] <Bunie> Hey anything i can "apt-get" in Ubuntu, i can "apt-get" in lubuntu, yes? :o
[16:31] <pikaciu> micadeyeye : are you using putty ?
[16:31] <Bunie> (me windows nub)
[16:31] <kaskull> Hi!!
[16:31] <kaskull> Hey people I need some help
[16:31] <auronandace> Bunie: yes, they use the same repository
[16:31] <BluesKaj> kaskull, justask your question
[16:32] <Bunie> auronandace: yay! i tried to get over Unity but just couldnt so im switching to lubuntu ^^
[16:32] <oCean> micadeyeye: ubuntu has no root account enabled. If you're just using fedora, please use the #fedora channel
[16:32] <micadeyeye> pikaciu, nope
[16:32] <auronandace> Bunie: good choice, i prefer xfce myself, but i agree that unity is not for me
[16:33] <pikaciu> micadeyeye : are you on ubu or fedora ?
[16:33] <micadeyeye> pikaciu, fedora 16
[16:33] <broacha> Hi. I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.10, how can I get the gnome-panel back?
[16:34] <auronandace> !notunity | broacha
[16:34] <oCean> micadeyeye: as I said, not supported here, try #fedora channel
[16:34] <pikaciu> micadeyeye : and do you want to login and get files from an ubuntu machine ?
[16:35] <kaskull> i've to say that i'm a noob, and i want Unix inside me! haha. My problem is that i've a dedicated with Ubuntu Server 11.04 and i've created an user. I've root and that user. My problem is that i want to give chmod +x persmisions on a file. I tryed to make this: sudo chmod +x (file) and it ask me about the root password i put it, but it doesn't run...! I put my root password and it give me an
[16:35] <kaskull> error!! what can it be??
[16:36] <silvercat> BluesKaj: i ran the binary file from Nvidia and it works now. :)
[16:36] <trijntje> Hi all, I'm getting Xserver crashes on oneiric. Paste of xorg log can be found here paste.ubuntu.com/789715/, but I have no idea how to take it from here, any pointers?
[16:36] <Bunie> silvercat: yay
[16:36] <owenll> broacha: this is a good guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/65981/how-can-i-get-gnome-panel-in-ubuntu-11-10
[16:36] <BluesKaj> silvercat, ok great , that's good to know :)
[16:36] <micadeyeye> pikaciu, transfer files from fedora to a router
[16:37] <broacha> thanks auronandace , owenll , I ll try both suggestions
[16:37] <BluesKaj> silvercat, nvidia proprietary drivers weren't very reliable ...they must be getting better
[16:37] <pikaciu> micadeyeye : install putty  (read the README) ... but oCean is right ! :( dura lex sed lex
[16:38] <ultrav1olet> where can I download development packages (deb) for the _next_ ubuntu release?
[16:38] <micadeyeye> pikaciu, i get it.
[16:38] <auronandace> !12.04 | ultrav1olet
[16:38] <pikaciu> micadeyeye good
[16:40] <kaskull> My problem is that i've a dedicated with Ubuntu Server 11.04 and i've created an user. I've root and that user. My problem is that i want to give chmod +x persmisions on a file. I tryed to make this: sudo chmod +x (file) and it ask me about the root password i put it, but it doesn't run...! I put my root password and it give me an error!! what can it be??
[16:40] <ultrav1olet> auronandace: thanks
[16:40] <auronandace> ultrav1olet: no worries :)
[16:40] <xangua> kaskull: use your user password
[16:40] <pangolin> kaskull: you are entering the sudo password of the user?
[16:41] <kaskull> yes, it's really incredible. i login to root with the passwrod, and when i use SUDO command and i put the same password it give me the error!! is incredible
[16:42] <Rabenklaue> hi, I've encrypted my /home directory using cryptsetup/luks and added following entry to /etc/crypttab: home         /dev/sda5          none           luks
[16:42] <auronandace> kaskull: we don't support root logins
[16:42] <pangolin> kaskull: if you are logged in to root then you must use the root user password. auronandace ubuntu server has a root user IIRC
[16:42] <Rabenklaue> Now I'm asked for the password to open the luks device at startup. But the prompt is shown only for about ~3 seconds
[16:44] <Rabenklaue> The password is ~20 chars long, so it it not possible entering the passphrase before the timeout. Now I've to switch to virtual terminal, login and "sudo cryptesetup luksOpen ..." in order to login via kdm (Kubuntu)
[16:44] <silvercat> BluesKaj: now, do you have any idea how to get sound through hdmi? =)
[16:44] <auronandace> pangolin: logging in as root is supported on server but not on desktop?
[16:44] <Rabenklaue> Is there a way adjusting the timeout?
[16:44] <angela-> whats the diberensis betwene ubuntu and kubuntu?
[16:44] <pangolin> auronandace: I am confirming in #ubuntu-server but I believe so
[16:45] <auronandace> angela-: the default desktop environment
[16:45] <angela-> ok
[16:45] <auronandace> angela-: ubuntu uses unity, kubuntu uses kde
[16:45] <xangua> angela-: ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu kde
[16:45] <quiescens> mm, default install of ubuntu server does not set a root password
[16:46] <quiescens> whether or not support is provided for it is anybody's guess
[16:46] <angela-> ok thats the diverensis kde and gnome
[16:46] <pangolin> quiescens: in that case it is not supported
[16:47] <lnxg33k> is there an error with ubuntu repo ?!
[16:47] <lnxg33k> W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[16:47] <angela-> ii no but olmost the same fucktions
[16:47] <auronandace> angela-: what is your original language?
[16:48] <angela-> netherlands
[16:48] <hansg01> i have a flash drive on which i can't write but can read
[16:48] <angela-> but de have old and newjear now
[16:48] <hansg01> any suggestions how to write on it again?
[16:48] <auronandace> angela-: just so you know there are native language channels too
[16:48] <lnxg33k> hansg01: mounted automatically ?!
[16:48] <auronandace> !nl | angela-
[16:48] <hansg01> lnxg33k: yep
[16:49] <angela-> lekker
[16:49] <hansg01> lnxg33k: tried using fdisk but it gave an error fdisk: unable to write /dev/sdb: Bad file descriptor
[16:49] <kaskull> And other thing. Why if i put this: chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin. Then: ./hldsupdatetool.bin it give me this error: -bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
[16:50] <angela-> i olso so that gnome advises for the 64bit systems and kubuntu for 32 bits
[16:50] <auronandace> angela-: no
[16:51] <auronandace> angela-: both work on 32 and 64bit
[16:51] <angela-> ok
[16:51] <barberan> hello
[16:51] <barberan> Did anyone manage to install ubuntu on the macbook?
[16:51] <kaskull> Why if i put this: chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin. Then: ./hldsupdatetool.bin it give me this error: -bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
[16:51] <angela-> 32bit on my computher and 64 on my laptop
[16:52] <BluesKaj> silvercat, , i'm a kde user so i have the phonon device preference audio settings , where I can choose the device and test the chosen audio device ..not sure about ubuntu/gnome equivalent
[16:52] <barberan> angela-, so, which operation systems does your macbook run?
[16:53] <angela-> its not macbook windows laptop
[16:53] <angela-> my lapto is 64 bit
[16:54] <barberan> angela-, oh… it's so simple to have an ubuntu and windows installed on the PC-laptop
[16:54] <barberan> angela-, I am looking for a way to install it on mac
[16:54] <angela-> yes ihave don that to windows 7pro next to ubuntu dual boot
[16:55] <hardy__> hi
[16:55] <angela-> do you have on your macbook botkamp?
[16:55] <angela-> bootcamp
[16:55] <rlg> angela- did u solve that problem?
[16:56] <angela-> yep
[16:56] <barberan> angela-, I have Win-7 and Lion on my macbook, so, apparently I have bootcamp
[16:56] <hardy__> it exist a german ubuntu-chanel?
[16:56] <oCean> !de | hardy__
[16:56] <DrPenguin> barberan: OS X 10.5+ supports and includes boot camp
[16:56] <angela-> just put in cd ore dvd inyour laptop and reboot
[16:57] <barberan> DrPenguin, I know that but bootcamp does not support ubuntu
[16:57] <rlg> angela- ircd is running?
[16:57] <Bunie> i know this is probably a "bad" question to ask here. If i liked the old ubuntu (Hate Unity) How would i feel about Mint 12?
[16:57] <angela-> nop
[16:57] <angela-> e
[16:57] <DrPenguin> barberan: the bootcamp utility doesnt support anything, but theres a bootcamp "software" just for windows for drivers n stuff
[16:57] <barberan> angela-, last time I did it - nothing has happened… it does not feel the DVD
[16:57] <hardy__> ubottu: ich möchte eigentlich nur wissen wie kann ich das cdrom mounten damit wine gleich die cd findet beim programmstart
[16:57] <ikonia> Bunie: try in the mint support resources, they can give you first hand feedback
[16:57] <ikonia> !mint > Bunie
[16:58] <ikonia> Bunie: please keep in mind that gnome 2 is dead though and sooner or later all distros will have to ditch it
[16:58] <angela-> you have to look firsty in your bios if its pasoble
[16:58] <hardy__> ah shit I have check it
[16:58] <ikonia> hardy__: tone down the language please.
[16:58] <BluesKaj> Bunie, there are alternative desktops for ubuntu , like kde , xfce etc
[16:58] <angela-> if you dont have bootcamp voor macbook than you must doownload it first
[16:59] <Bunie> BluesKaj: i know, i saw. i have some questions about mint but i guess i will ask over there
[16:59] <patata> always I boot with ubuntu, then when I boot with winodws it is blocked during booting
[16:59] <BluesKaj> Bunie, kde on ubuntu = kubuntu
[16:59] <patata> if I forzed the shut down and then restart windows, it boots without problems
[16:59] <Bunie> Or maybe i wont due to the channels being empty lols
[16:59] <ikonia> Bunie: the channels are not empty,
[17:00] <ikonia> Bunie: check the network they are on
[17:00] <Bunie> i saw Kubuntu and xubuntu and lubuntu, im actually installing lubuntu right now. :P but im liking the look of this youtube vid of mint
[17:01]  * BluesKaj shrugs
[17:01] <Bunie> i wanna make sure i settle with the right distro for me
[17:01] <ikonia> Bunie: the guys in the mint channels are best placed to answer questions on that
[17:01] <ikonia> Bunie: if you chose a distro that uses gnome 2 - you will have to switch again when they drop gnome 2
[17:01] <BluesKaj> Bunie, a desktop isn't a distro
[17:01] <patata> it started since I removed RECYCLER folder of the windows partition by error
[17:01] <angela-> barbran try to find out if you have bootcamp istaldt on your macbook
[17:02] <Bunie> BluesKaj: When it's a seperate install iso its a seperate distro isnt it? :P
[17:02] <BluesKaj> mint is a distro but it comes with the same desktops probs
[17:02] <spao> ubuntu is dead.
[17:02] <ikonia> saban: ubuntu is still very active.
[17:03] <compdoc> spao, thats not true
[17:03] <BluesKaj> spao, never mind the troll remarks ..it's very alive
[17:03] <ikonia> oops spao ubuntu is still very active
[17:03] <DrPenguin> join #android-dev
[17:03] <spao> wrong pm in chat,
[17:03] <ikonia> ahhh staffs uni again,
[17:03] <DrPenguin> darnit
[17:04] <shaneo> hey guys any idea of a good audio converter that will take an mp3 and make it a 14100 16bit mono wav file
[17:04] <Zsol> vlc
[17:05] <shaneo> hmm didnt know vlc did that thanks
[17:05] <imark> shaneo: have you tried soundconverter is in the repos
[17:05] <DrPenguin> i would think audacity could do it too
[17:05] <shaneo> yes doesnt offer a mono feature
[17:05] <imark> ah ok
[17:05] <kaskull> Why if i put this: chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin. Then: ./hldsupdatetool.bin it give me this error: -bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
[17:05] <shaneo> audacity wont open multiple files at once opened 23 windows on me
[17:06] <DrPenguin> kaskull: is . in your path?
[17:06] <Zsol> he doesn't need . in the path
[17:06] <DrPenguin> Zsol: was that what I was asking? no
[17:07] <kaskull> where? here: chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin?
[17:07] <DrPenguin> kaskull: paste the contents of echo $PATH
[17:08] <kaskull> this?
[17:08] <kaskull> ** /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[17:08] <shaneo> Zsol how do i go about using VLC as an audio converter
[17:09] <DrPenguin> kaskull: ok.. so that knocks out a goofy possiblity for me.. where is that bin file your trying to exec in respect to where your currently at
[17:10] <shaneo> n/m got it
[17:10] <Zsol> great
[17:11] <kaskull> i'm on root user, in an other user folder
[17:11] <DrPenguin> kaskull: that isnt what I asked
[17:11] <me-1> hi..is there Nokia pc suite alternative in ubuntu..?
[17:12] <kaskull> in wich folder it's tha file?
[17:12] <DrPenguin> I think what I am asking is pretty clear..
[17:12] <kaskull> Drpenguin sorry but i don't speak english very well
[17:12] <Zsol> DrPenguin, what goofy possiblity were you talking about?
[17:13] <DrPenguin> kaskull: then go to a support channel that supports your language
[17:13] <DrPenguin> Zsol: remotely, I was curious if . was in the path, then he was again trying to refer to it with ./, if the shell was getting confused
[17:16] <kaskull> Penguin, i can't find active support channels wich talk me lenguage, som i'm here to try to communicate and to learn, sorry for my english and for my comprensation....
[17:16] <me-1> is there Nokia pc suite alternative in ubuntu..?

[17:19] <libnotify> having a problem with ssh
[17:20] <hgjlhsgouih> im new to ubuntu
[17:20] <libnotify> permission denied (publickey)
[17:20] <me-1> ubottu,  should I run it under wine..?
[17:20] <libnotify> can't sort it out still
[17:21] <hgjlhsgouih> no its better to split some space on the hard drive for ubuntu
[17:22] <libnotify> how can i continue publickey authentication
[17:22] <hgjlhsgouih> =-O
[17:22] <dr_willis> libnotify:  you are trying to setup passwordless logins with ssh? theres some guides out ive googled befor and followed. you can use ssh -v server or ssh -vv server   for more verbose error messages
[17:23] <hgjlhsgouih> so how is every one
[17:24] <hgjlhsgouih> how do u no if u have a bad motherboard
[17:24] <libnotify> authentication that can continue: publickey
[17:24] <libnotify> no more authentication methods to try
[17:24] <DrPenguin> !ot > hgjlhsgouih
[17:26] <hgjlhsgouih> well i had ubuntu installed last week and after a few days it go really slow
[17:27] <SwashBuckla> "Package libavcodec-extra-52 is not available, but is referred to by another package." -- What package is that?
[17:27] <SwashBuckla> this is a message I get from Aptitude
[17:27] <hgjlhsgouih> got really so i rebooted and then i go not get back into ubuntu
[17:27] <dr_willis> SwashBuckla:  you have extra repos enabled? ive seen similer issues if i use medibuntu or some 3rd party repos that have differnt verisons of the libavcodec
[17:29] <SwashBuckla> dr_willis: yeah I have a Lucid one enabled in Oneric for Skype
[17:29] <trijntje> Hi all, I'm getting Xserver crashes on oneiric. Paste of xorg log can be found here paste.ubuntu.com/789715/, but I have no idea how to take it from here, any pointers?
[17:29] <DrPenguin> trijntje: thats truncated.. what driver are you using?
[17:30] <DrPenguin> hmm.. it doesnt like your evdev module.. what did ya do before X started to crash?
[17:31] <trijntje> DrPenguin: I'm using fglrx for ATI. I was building  a custom oneiric-iso when it crashed
[17:32] <trijntje> I've place the full log here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/789768/
[17:32] <DrPenguin> trijntje: hmm.. did you create your xorg.conf via Xorg -configure or aticonfig?
[17:33] <trijntje> DrPenguin: I dont know, I didnt generate an xorg.conf myself
[17:33] <DrPenguin> trijntje: im thinking you either did the former or do not have a xorg.conf at all.. X is not capable of bringing itself up when using the fglrx driver. You need to create a xorg.conf via aticonfig
[17:35] <JohnFlux> Since upgrading to oneric, firefox crashes continually
[17:35] <JohnFlux> any ideas?
[17:35]  * libnotify will wait for the stable version
[17:36] <trijntje> DrPenguin: I guess it got created automatically when I installed fglrx using jockey? Could there be a mistake in the xorg.conf?
[17:37] <DrPenguin> trijntje: I can see whats happening in your Xorg.0.log, X isnt being told what driver to use, so its autoprobing. X cannot autoprobe and use fglrx. delete your xorg.conf and run aticonfig —initial as root or with sudo
[17:37] <mumbles__> hates a non working pc

[17:50] <ikonia> libnotify: what's the issue, lets see if we can fix it ?
[17:50] <pavlz> hi
[17:50] <Kiten> hey
[17:50] <pavlz> i got a problem with the pc
[17:50] <libnotify> authentication
[17:50] <mumbles__> woo its booting now
[17:51] <ikonia> libnotify: you need to be a little more descriptive than that please.
[17:51] <pavlz> i don't remember the correct syntax to create one user, i used sudo add user
[17:51] <Seveas> pavlz, sudo adduser
[17:51] <pavlz> excuse me
[17:51] <libnotify> permission denied (publickey)
[17:52] <ikonia> libnotify: have you disabled non-key based logins ?
[17:52] <pavlz> excuse me, but yesterday was very particular for me
[17:52] <pavlz> i did my first 40 years, and then was too the endo  of the year
[17:53] <pavlz> so i drank too much
[17:53] <ikonia> ?
[17:53] <ikonia> pavlz: do you need ubuntu support yes/no ?
[17:53] <DrPenguin> !ot | pavlz
[17:53] <pavlz> i go
[17:53] <libnotify> want to use password authentication method
[17:53] <pavlz> and happy GNU year 2012 to all
[17:53] <ikonia> libnotify: have you changed your ssh config from default ?
[17:54] <thiago_> hi guys, happy new year!
[17:54] <Kiten> happy new year
[17:54] <pikaciu> libnotify: have you run the key procedure after installation ?
[17:54] <thiago_> how can i do to add other language to my ubuntu, after installation?
[17:54] <libnotify> have edited the config file
[17:54] <ikonia> libnotify: what did you change ?
[17:54] <libnotify> RSA authentication
[17:54] <ikonia> pikaciu: read what he's asking he WANTS to use password authentication - not key based
[17:54] <libnotify> have enabled it
[17:55] <Seveas> thiago_, system settings -> language support
[17:55] <ikonia> libnotify: could you please pastebin your sshd_config file please.
[17:55] <pikaciu> ikonia: sorry :P
[17:55] <libnotify> kk
[17:55] <thiago_> Seveas, thanks
[17:55] <thiago_> Seveas, do you know a command-line option?
[17:56] <Kiten> is there any way to check if files contain corrupt bytes ?
[17:56] <dr_willis> libnotify:  you may clarify what it is you are trying to acomplish exactly.
[17:56] <ikonia> Kiten: corrupt bytes ?
[17:56] <Seveas> sudo apt-get install language-pack-something
[17:56] <dr_willis> Kiten:  if you have a md5sum of the file from a known good setup. you can use md5sum
[17:56] <DrPenguin> ^
[17:56] <nitstorm> hmmm guys, how do we use ssh-copy-id to copy the keys to a port different than the regular port 22?
[17:56] <Kiten> ahh i do not
[17:57] <DrPenguin> You cant really distinguish "good" bytes from bad ones, a bytes a byte
[17:57] <thiago_> Seveas, thanks :)
[17:57] <dr_willis> nitstorm:  try the user@machine:portnumber   >
[17:57] <dr_willis> perhaps?
[17:58] <Seveas> nitstorm, add the host to your .ssh/config with a port
[17:58] <nitstorm> dr_willis: name or service not known...
[17:58] <Seveas> Host myhost
[17:58] <Seveas> Port 2222
[17:58] <Kiten> later i get to reinstall ubuntu again corrupt partitions, i shoulda known i should have manually done it instead of letting ubuntu manage it
[17:59] <nitstorm> Seveas: Host and Port on two different lines?
[18:01] <broooshhhh> halp
[18:01] <DrPenguin> !ask | broooshhhh
[18:05] <broooshhhh> i have my own box, thinclient geode gx1, 300mhz and everything, uses only 5 watts of electricities. i wish to use this for seeding fedora stuff except, for every pc i have... it dowesnt upload anything..... 0kb/s
[18:05] <ubuntu> ????
[18:05] <broooshhhh> or well, i can seed fedora stuff too
[18:05] <broooshhhh> *ubuntu
[18:05] <broooshhhh> ol
[18:05] <Matrixiumn> bye
[18:06] <broooshhhh> cya
[18:06] <broooshhhh> so anyone knows a distro that would like to have some seeding @ torrent :o ??
[18:07] <tensorpudding> broooshhhh, there are many things which can affect whether you upload
[18:07] <wisty> Hi, I'm starting a web app on a Ubuntu VM. Does anyone know why mydomain.com:8001 visible? That's the Python backend, not the nginx server, and I don't think it should be open.
[18:08] <tensorpudding> broooshhhh, your tracker is down, your tracker is broker, you can't connect to seeds, your internet doesn't work
[18:08] <broooshhhh> nono for other stuff, less legal (but i just used it to try) it works good
[18:08] <broooshhhh> but it looks like these distro's dont need any seeding at all :/
[18:08] <tensorpudding> then it's a problem with the tracker
[18:08] <tensorpudding> or there just isn't any leeches
[18:09] <tensorpudding> which is likely
[18:09] <broooshhhh> yees, so you know of/a place where they know
[18:09] <broooshhhh> torrents that have lots of leechers?
[18:09] <tensorpudding> you should be choosing what to seed on the basis on what you want
[18:10] <tensorpudding> let's leave it at that since this is offtopic
[18:10] <broooshhhh> fine.. ok i guess.. i pressed 'find more peers from tracker' and it goes to 3.5kb/s upload . now its 0 again >_< bah
[18:10] <wisty> @member:broooshhhh I'd imagine most legal stuff is OK, as not many people download it, and those who do are techies who seed it for ages.
[18:16] <neongrau> anyone know what's wrong when i see this error trying to mount a network share (cfis) -> Unable to resolve (null) to canonical path: Invalid argument
[18:16] <broooshhhh> uhu the lts is 15kb/s , well thats a start. any last ideas for more stuff that anyone wants to have seeded?

[18:48] <reggal> sorry
[18:48] <reggal> Okay, my question is:
[18:48] <reggal> In Celestia, how do you make add-ons work
[18:49] <reggal> that's from http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/
[18:49] <reggal> anyone know? Or is this a dead channel
[18:49] <MonkeyDust> !enter| reggal
[18:49] <reggal> oh yeah, and I checked google
[18:50] <reggal> It's hard to believe that 1354 people don't know the answer
[18:50] <reggal> I'm new to this network though
[18:50] <reggal> haven't used it before
[18:50] <mkanyicy> selite, i have seen that overheating thing on the HP laptop some time back and it read through the net and found a working solution which was to add some grub kernel parameter
[18:50] <dr_willis> i wonder how many even know what celesta is...
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> reggal  what is Celestia?
[18:50] <dr_willis> i would guess less then 100  in here.
[18:50] <selite> mkanyicy: How do I do that, it's really annoying?
[18:50] <Myrtti> reggal: please have patience, perhaps people don't/can't give immediate answers
[18:50] <reggal> Celestia is a universe/astronomy simulator
[18:50] <reggal> that comes with ubunta
[18:51] <mumbles__> dammit
[18:51] <MonkeyDust> maybe there's somebody here who knows it, s/he will help you
[18:51] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[18:52] <oobona> What does it mean to "use the enter key as punctuation" btw ?
[18:53] <_ikke_> oobona: In stead of using punctuation
[18:53] <MonkeyDust> oobona  typing enter after each sentence
[18:53] <dr_willis> hitting enter every 3 words...
[18:53] <c0mrade> Ehhh what's up duck?
[18:53] <_ikke_> oobona: you are hitting enter
[18:53] <_ikke_> oobona: so creating many lines
[18:53] <mkanyicy> selite, try what is being suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1865820.html

[18:54] <reggal> Is Ubuntu Live the fastest live CD?
[18:54] <_ikke_> reggal: Fastest in what way?
[18:54] <reggal> Many of the newer live CDs are slow on my Core 2 Duo
[18:54] <reggal> Well fastest in window movement, program running, etc
[18:54] <reggal> or is there a channel for live CD
[18:54] <dr_willis> reggal:  try tinycore linux if you want fast. :)
[18:54] <BluesKaj> reggal, I justread the addons article in the url you posted , "most add-ons were created on (and designed for) Windows operating systems. So maybe some add-ons will not work properly under Linux or Mac operating systems. "
[18:55] <reggal> alright I will

[18:55] <eueu> Hello! Using Ubuntu 11.10 and Gnome shell. I have an external hard drive with one truecrypt partition. Once I dismount that partition with Truecrypt, can I safely unplug the hard drive (there is no icon nowhere on the Desktop) or should I run “sync” for example?
[18:55] <c0mrade> What do yall think about Barack Obama?
[18:55] <Myrtti> c0mrade: how is that relevant to the channel topic?
[18:56] <c0mrade> It plays a big role.
[18:56] <c0mrade> He uses Ubuntu.
[18:56] <broooshhhh> he does >_< ?
[18:56] <oobona> Barack Obama is a new game of "division"
[18:56] <Myrtti> no it actually has nothing to do with channel topic, this is Ubuntu *support* channel, not "discuss everything under the moon and stars that may somehow relate to Ubuntu"
[18:57] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[18:57] <oobona> off with their heads !
[18:57] <quiescens> eueu: typically if something is unmounted it has already finished syncing, but i don't specifically know with regards to truecrypt
[18:57] <c0mrade> Oh yeah!
[18:57] <selite> mkanyicy: Where do I find the GRUB conf file to add those lines?
[18:57] <eueu> quiescens, thanks
[18:57] <BluesKaj> Myrtti, you're creating more noise than the offtopicers are :)
[18:58] <c0mrade> Year right.

[19:01] <dr_willis> brand new drives can be bad.....
[19:01] <helpme> i mean
[19:02] <helpme> is there a way to make ubuntu look like a Mac OS
[19:02] <mkanyicy> selite, remember to run
[19:02] <dr_willis> helpme:  the webupd8 and omgubuntu blog sites have guides on tweaking ubuntu
[19:02] <Kolnmenky> I've seen than I should run chkdsk on windows but I don't have computers with windows at the moment :/
[19:02] <helpme> can you provide me a link to that please
[19:02] <mkanyicy> selite, remember to run 'sudo update-grub' after modifying the grub config file
[19:02] <helpme> or shall i just google them?
[19:02] <dr_willis> helpme:  theres a 'macbuntu' script thing out.. but i suggest NOT using it.
[19:02] <helpme> Why not?
[19:03] <selite> mkanyicy: Alright bro,let's see what happens.
[19:03] <helpme> dr - why not?
[19:03] <dr_willis> helpme:  you want to trash your system go try it.

[19:04] <helpme> ohh ok :( -  is there any other way ? to
[19:04] <helpme> i know but i just felt like i wanted to change the GUI

[19:06] <helpme> has anyone tried macubunut?
[19:06] <barberan> helpme, what's that?

[19:07] <helpme>   its something which   DR Wallis said
[19:07] <mkanyicy> Kolnmenky, so, you can copy some files to that hard drive but up to 100MB (at a time)?
[19:07] <ikonia> !upgrade | oobona
[19:07] <helpme> makes ubutnu look like a MAC
[19:07] <ikonia> helpme: it's not a good solution - it's a worse solution now with gnome3 and unity/gnome shell
[19:07] <barberan> helpme, I've just connected and I haven't seen the rest of the conversation
[19:07] <helpme> ohh
[19:07] <helpme> i have

[19:11] <ikonia> irocksu: well, the repos update, so you couldn't re-create from the repos as the version gets updated there,
[19:11] <irocksu> ikonia: And if I use my own repository that stores all versions?

[19:11] <ikonia> irocksu: well, how does it store all versions?

[19:23] <barnex> biggerfisch: Well, yes, there's like 100 GB of stuff there and it will upload forever
[19:24] <agamemnus> I just compiled my program but I don't know how to run it.
[19:24] <biggerfisch> barnex: i see. that would take a while.
[19:24] <barnex> and I kinda need my computer now and it is very unstable with ecryptfs and skype. And I have to use skype.
[19:24] <biggerfisch> agamemnus: "./<program_name>"

[19:28] <Agamemnus> tiny issue
[19:29] <Agamemnus> I installed ubuntu with wubi.exe (from Windows 7)... and then I changed the drive letter
[19:29] <Agamemnus> Now Ubuntu won't load.
[19:29] <Agamemnus> Is there a way to fix this or do I have to start over?
[19:29] <Agamemnus> Changed it from F to D
[19:30] <auronandace> Agamemnus: why don't you try a real ubuntu install?
[19:30] <Agamemnus> Seemed real enough.
[19:30] <adnan> hello
[19:30] <Agamemnus> Actually I think it's just the initial loading that's messed up
[19:30] <AceKing>  For some reason Ubuntu Software Center is not working on my PC. It takes over a minute to load, and when it comes up it's just a white screen. I tried restarting my PC, but it still does the same thing. Any suggestions? I'm running 11.10 64 bit
[19:30] <adnan> my name is adnan
[19:31] <Agamemnus> it gives me a choice between Windows and Ubuntu
[19:31] <auronandace> Agamemnus: wubi isn't really a long term solution, more of a taster
[19:31] <adnan> Agamemnus how are you
[19:31] <Agamemnus> do you know where I can change that Windows/Ubuntu prompt?
[19:31] <aeon-ltd> adnan: no social
[19:31] <Agamemnus> hello adnan, are you a bot?
[19:32] <munzxttt> hi! happy new year! :) ... i just upgraded to 11.10 and hey i liked it :) ... but only 2 things .. 1 - i can not remove the trash,home,computer shortcuts 2 - i had kde installed and i just removed it despite that i still have 'kubuntu' and the blue screen on boot/shut down/restart!!
[19:32] <aeon-ltd> adnan: support only in this channel
[19:32] <broooshhhh> windows/ubuntu stuff is is Grub :D:D
[19:32] <Agamemnus> Grub then.
[19:33] <psychoticmeow> Howdy. Whenever I try to play a video in Totem, Xorg crashes. This has been happening since switching to the propriety ATI drivers.
[19:33] <caffine> how do i find the /dev device to which a usb device has been bound? apparently, usbcore registered my device with snd-usb-audio, but i'm not sure where or how to find it to use on the command line with mplayer. i can see the video at /dev/video0 but don't know where to find the audio. here are the relevant entries from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789239/ here's lsusb:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/789240/ here's what i'm trying t
[19:33] <psychoticmeow> Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?
[19:34] <Agamemnus> I'm just going to reinstall it then...
[19:34] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, thanks for your help yesterday, btw
[19:34] <adnan> I am from egypt
[19:34] <psychoticmeow> This is my xorg.conf file: http://pastie.org/3108312

[19:35] <cgfree> hey can anyone provide assistance with an issue on Ubuntu Studio 11.10 with MSI Wind u100 netbook? <The error is that my audio-jack input doesnt fully function under linux, but on windows its fine. It seems when its fully inserted there's no output - but on half-insert i get output minus some treble/bass>
[19:36] <cgfree> happy new year to everyone!
[19:36] <Agamemnus> maybe i should just install ubuntu on a vm
[19:36] <psychoticmeow> Yeah, you where right, after adjusting the virtual display size, everything started working
[19:36] <AceKing> owenll, I tried that already. As a matter of fact, I even completely uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It's still doing the same thing. It's driving me crazy!
[19:36] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: good ;)
[19:37] <cgfree> hey can anyone provide assistance with an issue on Ubuntu Studio 11.10 with MSI Wind u100 netbook? <The error is that my audio-jack input doesnt fully function under linux, but on windows its fine. It seems when its fully inserted there's no output - but on half-insert i get output minus some treble/bass>
[19:37] <psychoticmeow> Just have the video issue mentioned above now :(
[19:37] <owenll> AceKing: The other suggestion is to do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and restart
[19:37] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: eww X is crashing? is there anything in dmesg or your xorg log?
[19:37] <AceKing> owenll, I will try that. Thank you!
[19:38] <Agamemnus> Hey DrPenguin, I managed to compile my program. What was missing is that I needed to do "sudo getlibs" (gets 32-bit versions) instead of "sudo apt-get"
[19:38] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, I'll crash it now and take a look :)
[19:38] <pegler> hi all.  I am looking to setup monitoring of processes as well as the output from some shell scripts that will tell me if things are acting up on my server.  Is there a good monitoring program for ubuntu that will check these sorts of things?  process memory/cpu, and if the output from a script meets certain requirements (>100, for example)
[19:38] <astartoth> hi all, how can I see my boot messages on tty1 rather than on tty7?
[19:38] <xrandr> i am running ubuntu 11.10, and samba 3.5.11.  Using nautilus, I created a share. When I go on a windows box, I can see the share, but I can't access it. I have guest access checked in the folder properties. Any ideas?
[19:39] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: ah, I have no idea what getlibs is but im glad you have it working
[19:39] <DrPenguin> astartoth: your boot messages arent on tty7
[19:39] <Agamemnus> It's just the same as apt-get but it downloads 32-bit versions, as far as I understand.
[19:39] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: thats fancy schmancy
[19:39] <astartoth> DrPenguin: they are
[19:40] <DrPenguin> astartoth: they wouldnt be.. when you boot your on tty1 by default.. X starts on tty7
[19:40] <Agamemnus> there are some minor syntax differences though
[19:40] <AceKing> owenll, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[19:40] <astartoth> that is what I want.
[19:40] <Agamemnus> or major
[19:40] <DrPenguin> astartoth: dude thats what it IS
[19:40] <tazthespaz> Hey, how do I find out what partition my bootloader is installed on. I would like to install burg and I need to know
[19:40] <magicJ> I want to make an"internet accessible" printer so that I can print to it over the net - BUT I do not want to make this available to the WORLD - how do I make it accessible but limited?
[19:40] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: syntax differences? what is this anyway? is this BASIC?
[19:41] <hasek79> is there a webcam driver somewhere or plugin that i can get to make a ps3 eye work?
[19:41] <astartoth> DrPenguin: When I boot, I'm unable to see what services are starting, etc. I get back to tty 1, but it's clean! I can't page-up to see if any services failed. It's output it's on tty7, but lightdm starts there so I cannot see the output. Everytime I press Ctrl+Alt+F7, I'm back to xorg.
[19:42] <dr_willis> magicJ:  the google chrome browser has such a feature i belive.. but that may be for printing from other browsers only.
[19:42] <DrPenguin> astartoth: there are NO messages on tty7
[19:42] <astartoth> Dr, you're wrong.
[19:42] <astartoth> http://askubuntu.com/questions/27885/why-is-the-default-virtual-terminal-number-7
[19:42] <magicJ> dr_willis:  I am not looking for this as a browser option - but a general print option
[19:42] <astartoth> I just want to change that.
[19:42] <dr_willis> magicJ:  ive seen other web-printer services - but never tried any.  Not sure about rolling your own. other then some how use dyndns with it.
[19:42] <psychoticmeow> Here's the output from dmesg and the xorg log: http://pastie.org/3108333
[19:43] <dr_willis> magicJ:  its posible the chrome thing works with other apps. i only tried it from my cellphone
[19:43] <DrPenguin> astartoth: no sorry.. your wrong.. im not gona argue with you as such you dont understand this stuff
[19:43] <magicJ> there must be a way to lmit it rather than all or noting which is what I seem to have right now
[19:44] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: your dmesg is… very small
[19:44] <psychoticmeow> Ahh, yeah, sec
[19:44] <xrandr> any ideas?
[19:44] <delinquentme> hey all I've got a PDf that I'd like to remove 1 page off of .. thoughts on a simple tool for ubuntu to do this?
[19:45] <mumbles__> anyone know how i remove the hardware support. i installed my graphics card driver and now m ubuntu install wont boot up
[19:45] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, http://pastie.org/3108352
[19:46] <StevenR> delinquentme: open the PDF, print the pages you need straight to PDF (via the regular print dialog)... there are also commandline tools if you need to automate it for lots of PDFs
[19:46] <hasek79> is there a web cam driver that i need to get for a ps3 web cam
[19:46] <delinquentme> StevenR, that is PHENOMENAL
[19:46] <delinquentme> you WIN
[19:47] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: can you do this for me? I want the "diff" of a xorg log from a crashed X to a non crashed X. do you know how to use diff?
[19:47] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, sec
[19:48] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, it's all timestamped, how's that going to work?
[19:48] <psychoticmeow> I can cut out the timestamps if you want.
[19:48] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: ehh.. just paste a good xorg.0.log then. I just wanna make sure that Stacktrace is not in a good X log
[19:49] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, this is the log for the current session: http://pastie.org/3108367
[19:50] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: ok good.. so we can see that the stack trace is indeed a dump from you running a video in totem
[19:50] <psychoticmeow> Yep
[19:51] <aBound> Hey guys is there a known tool for the terminal. Where I can save known configuration files and not have to repeatedly type the <command>/<filename> to edit it or get to it?
[19:51] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: unfortunately, X stack traces are a wee bit unclear to me.. but id bet this would be a known bug. try googling around for totem and fglrx
[19:51] <DrPenguin> aBound: … wha? lol
[19:52] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, same bug occurs with Banshee
[19:52] <psychoticmeow> But I'll try and find out more
[19:52] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: oh wow really? crap! what is the video container?
[19:52] <aBound> DrPenguin, lol Figured it might confused somebody.
[19:53] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, of the actual file?
[19:53] <vipin> can anyone help me to config OSS with pulseaudio in ubuntu
[19:53] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: yeah.. like is it mpeg, h264, etc etc
[19:53] <aBound> DrPenguin, Such as for example, always repetivtively typing: nano .vimrc or cd /usr/lib/pidgin I want to be able to save these files and/or directories without having to retype them in the terminal. Sound easier to digest? lol
[19:54] <DrPenguin> aBound: you could make aliases in your .bashrc
[19:54] <owenll> aBound: create an alias? alias custom_command='original_command' - is this what you're after? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1653127
[19:54] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, Matroska with H264 codec
[19:54] <FBR02> howdy im looking for some help with some wireless issues under 10.04
[19:55] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: try to find some other video container type, make sure its only particular codecs that crash the Server
[19:55] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, also fails for .ts files
[19:55] <DrPenguin> I have no idea what a .ts file is
[19:55] <aBound> DrPenguin, owenll: No easier way than an alias eh. It'd be nice if I can keep those files/directories and view them/edit them from a gui standpoint.
[19:55] <psychoticmeow> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_transport_stream
[19:56] <DrPenguin> aBound: what? your explanation still is kind of weird dude.. whats wrong with an alias?
[19:56] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: ah ok.. well yeah try something like an avi
[19:56] <aBound> DrPenguin, Because I'd have to create more than one dozen aliases.
[19:56] <aBound> :P
[19:56] <DrPenguin> aBound: then this is what I think you can do and it will be cool
[19:57] <DrPenguin> aBound: write a script that can accept, list, and execute the stuff you want and store them in some flat file like XML or just straight text
[19:57] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, .avi with XVID MPEG-4 codec
[19:57] <Zippa> Hi
[19:57] <psychoticmeow> I don't think it matters :S
[19:57] <FBR02> howdy im looking for some help with some wireless issues under 10.04 any takers?
[19:57] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: I wonder if whats happening is is that maybe your missing some extension so the video is rendered in software and not hardware and that nukes X..
[19:58] <DrPenguin> !ask | FBR02
[19:58] <psychoticmeow> Probably, yeah
[19:58] <aBound> DrPenguin, I'm sure you used Windows before and never had to search say this file ~/.config/lib/test just as a example through a terminal and had to keeping typing aliases just to get to it. Whereas a gui would make the process easier to find.
[19:59] <DrPenguin> aBound: … im still confused as to what your trying to do
[19:59] <anna> hey guys.  I'm on my wife's account.  Can I move her home folder to a separate partition and leave mine alone?
[19:59] <DrPenguin> it just sounds like you want to make some easy way to execute an oftenly used command
[19:59] <mongy> aBound, find ~ -iname "config"
[19:59] <Guest95938> hey guys.  I'm on my wife's account.  Can I move her home folder to a separate partition and leave mine alone?
[19:59] <aBound> I want to easily get to files/directories without the hassle or retyping commands/aliases. ha
[20:00] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: I cant see why not.. you could just symlink it back to /home
[20:00] <FBR02> I have a router that uses a "security button" so that when clicking connect under windoz it pops up a window asking for a wep key OR press the button on the router, under windoz this works fine but ubuntu 10.04 seems to not have a  "security button" option
[20:00] <DrPenguin> aBound: then use a File Manager?
[20:00] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, symlink? can you explain plx?
[20:00] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: a symlink is basically an alias or shortcut
[20:01] <DrPenguin> FBR02: your trying to use whatever that WPS or whatever security link thing is?
[20:01] <FBR02> Dr yes
[20:01] <aBound> DrPenguin, The problem is I can't seemed to save known files/directories so I can easily get to them. Either than that some files have ~/.config in them and they're hard to find from a file manager.
[20:01] <DrPenguin> FBR02: no idea, Ive never used that
[20:01] <mumbles__> ack. why would a once working install stop at stopping save kernal messages after installing a graphics driver?
[20:01] <aBound> DrPenguin, I'm sure I'm giving you a headache haha.
[20:01] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, I could link it, but I want it to be smooth and idiot-proof.  Is this the same as "create link" in any directory, or is symlink different?
[20:01] <FBR02> Dr- Me either, im in afghanistan and dont really have a choice
[20:02] <DrPenguin> aBound: yeah you kind of are.. because you really dont make sense.. if you want to "favorite" a commonly used action, then alias it
[20:02] <dr_willis> the gnome file manager has a bookmark feature also.
[20:03] <aBound> mongy, Doubt that's going to help me but thanks.
[20:04] <savid> Oneiric has packages for nodejs and npm, but doesn't create any users for installing npm packages.  You get errors when trying to install npm packages as root.  What's the recommended way to do this?
[20:04] <aBound> :P
[20:04] <dr_willis> !info npm
[20:04] <dr_willis> !info nodejs
[20:05] <HardP> !@#$!#%^&%*^(&)
[20:05] <HardP> ah :)
[20:05] <dr_willis> never heard of either one. :)
[20:05] <juan_> hello¡
[20:05] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, apparently the fix is: "Please use gl, gl2 or vaapi video output."
[20:05] <psychoticmeow> Whatever that is
[20:06] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: those are different extensions that will allow you to leverage hardware acceleration, I believe vaapi is similar to vdapu
[20:06] <psychoticmeow> So whatever I'm using now is probably causing the crash
[20:07] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: yeah, most likely its not leveraging hardware
[20:07] <pie_> so, yesterday night i wasnt paying attention and i accidentally mv'd all my jpg-s into one folder...now i have 8k pics to go through...do you guys know any programs tat might be something like this?: it displays a preview or displays the whole pic and asks what folder to place it in?
[20:09] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, if i make symlinks in the home directory, will opening the home directory (on another partition) work like opening a real home folder on my main partition?
[20:10] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: thats basically the idea.. tahts what I do on my work pc, I made dedicated partitions for my working svn directories and I symlink them into my ~
[20:10] <aBound> Good thing for geany ide. :)
[20:10] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, is that basically "create link" in the context menu?
[20:10] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: dunno, I dont use guis.. I use terminal
[20:11] <Guest95938> XD DrPenguin ok, I'm interested.  what's a template for this terminal command
[20:11] <barnex> open your terminal and type "man ln"
[20:12] <DrPenguin> ln -s /path/to/item/to/link /path/to/where/it/goes
[20:12] <DrPenguin> RTFM!
[20:12] <MonkeyDust> a manual is often very technical and unreadable, it's there's a support like this one
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> it's good*
[20:13] <DrPenguin> MonkeyDust: the man pages are very clear
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> DrPenguin  they are completen, but not always clear
[20:13] <DrPenguin> MonkeyDust: id disagree with you 100% there..
[20:14] <MonkeyDust> ok
[20:14] <guntbert> !rtfm | DrPenguin
[20:14] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, not sure what to do now, is it possible to enable vaapi system wide? This is the output of vainfo: http://pastie.org/3108500
[20:15] <DrPenguin> guntbert: ignoring you, kthx, rtfm is a term that is very appropriate for this situation and is welcome in all geek and linux circles..
[20:15] <DexterF> hey
[20:15] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: most likely its an extension that needs to be enabled in the X server by adding it to your xorg.conf
[20:15] <guntbert> DrPenguin: not welcome here - you can ignore me all you like of course
[20:16] <DexterF> all my browsers won't use java anymore - sun java plugin is installed tho.
[20:16] <DrPenguin> guntbert: dont care
[20:16] <DexterF> pointers how to diagnose?
[20:16] <DrPenguin> DexterF: dont use java "anymore" that implies they did at one point.. what happened when they stopped?
[20:16] <DexterF> DrPenguin: if only I knew. basically the regular updates. no fancy backports or such.
[20:17] <BluesKaj> DrPenguin, you may consider running linux as a geek exercise , but you're left behind in the dust now , if you think that
[20:17] <DrPenguin> DexterF: then I think it would be worthwhile to see if however you updated, if it keeps a log, and review the log and see what changed
[20:18] <DrPenguin> BluesKaj: 	you too now? Seriously, I am not gonna be chastised because I dont "baby" people
[20:18] <BluesKaj> nope DrPenguin , we're not all geeks here
[20:19] <DrPenguin> BluesKaj: doesnt mean people should be "babied" and hand held
[20:19] <MonkeyDust> guys!
[20:19] <DexterF> DrPenguin: aptitude. nothing fancy. ill reinstall the plugin package and see what happens
[20:19] <BluesKaj> DrPenguin, I never said that
[20:19] <nomike> hi
[20:19] <aBound> Oh boy.
[20:20] <aBound> hi nomike
[20:20] <iToast> asmcoder8...
[20:20] <nomike> I want to report a bug against some unknown ubuntu package (the message displaying that my laptop battery is empty is confusing)....
[20:21] <DrPenguin> DexterF: im not quite sure if aptitude logs stuff.. but yeah thts worth a shot, its also worth maybe reinstalling your browser(s)
[20:21] <nomike> So I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs which tells me to run "ubuntu-bug" and select "other problem"
[20:22] <MonkeyDust> !acpi> MonkeyDust
[20:22] <balazs> hi. I'm connecting my 50" HDTV with HDMI to my laptop, but it gets recognized as a 51" one. How can I fix that ?
[20:22] <aBound> DrPenguin, Yeah bookmarking might be my best bet for a file manager point of view.
[20:22] <DrPenguin> balazs: is that causing you a problem?
[20:23] <DrPenguin> aBound: dr_willis gave you that hint but Ill take the credit ^^
[20:23] <aBound> HA!
[20:23] <aBound> Thanks to dr_willis and DrPenguin
[20:23] <aBound> lol
[20:23] <balazs> DrPenguin: yes. Whatever should be displayed at the very edge of the screen is not visible on the TV
[20:24] <aBound> Cause that terminal stuff can be a hassle at times. I'm sure a shell script can be written to what I wanna do but oh well.
[20:24] <DrPenguin> balazs: have you tried just adjusting the resolution?
[20:24] <DrPenguin> aBound: the terminal is usually better off in the end. anyone using linux should be comfortable with it
[20:25] <aBound> DrPenguin, I always hear that but at times I think you need both. :P
[20:25] <DrPenguin> aBound: Oh I dont disagree there, at times I find the gui to be "easier"
[20:25] <aBound> Unless, you're completely fluent in terminal speak.
[20:25] <DrPenguin> aBound:  I have the terminal-fu (HI YA)
[20:25] <pleasehelpme> Hello all.  I was wondering if I could get some assistance.  I am trying to connect a drive to my brand brand new ubuntu machine.  I am connecting via USB through a vantec drive dock.  the drive is out of a nas, and I am trying to get files off of one of the three partitions on the drive.  The drive was in a linksys nas200 which has died (the box itself).  When I connect the drive via usb, nothing shows up on the desktop.  Anyu point
[20:25] <pleasehelpme> ers?
[20:26] <nomike> And when I click on "OK" after selecting "Other problem" I get the error message "You need to specify the
[20:26] <nomike> oops
[20:26] <coolstar-pc> DrPenguin: GUI is usually better for multitasking
[20:26] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: is the disk even seen? do sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the output
[20:26] <mumbles__> ack. why would a once working install stop at stopping save kernal messages after installing a graphics driver?
[20:26] <pleasehelpme> ok brb
[20:26] <DrPenguin> coolstar-pc: 	thats what multiple terminal tabs / windows are for ^^
[20:27] <nomike> "You need to specify a package or a PID. See --help for more information"
[20:27] <aBound> DrPenguin, terminal-fu?
[20:27] <coolstar-pc> coolstar-pc: Then you're using a terminal on top of a GUI which means you need a GUI
[20:27]  * coolstar-pc thinks this terminal vs. GUI war should be in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:27] <DrPenguin> aBound: something-fu usually means you are well versed in whatever is pre fu
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> pleasehelpme  you can pastebin the output by typing fdisk -l|pastebinit, you may have to install pastebinit, first
[20:28] <aBound> DrPenguin, HA! Now you're confusing me when I confused you. :P But I think I understand.
[20:28] <pleasehelpme> oh
[20:28] <pleasehelpme> i'm a comp[lete linux newb
[20:28] <pleasehelpme> exactly 10 minutes so far
[20:28] <balazs> DrPenguin: I have it at 1280x720, so 16x9 ratio. The other options are a higher resolution 16:9, but that doesn't work at all, and 4:3, like 800x600. The latter works, but because of the aspect ratio it looks bad
[20:28] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: man! you are FRESH off the bus
[20:28] <aBound> HA!
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:29] <DrPenguin> balazs: hmm.. what video card do you have / driver?
[20:29] <aBound> 10 mins interesting.
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> i have a long background in windows and mac
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> this is new top me
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> when I enter fdisk -l in termiunal it just returns the prompt
[20:29] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: type: sudo !!
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> do i need to sudo?
[20:30] <balazs> DrPenguin: how do I check that ? I have an HP Pavilon g6
[20:30] <DrPenguin> yes you do
[20:30] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:30] <pleasehelpme> thanks

[20:31] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: thats not advisable
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> pleasehelpme  the url, yes
[20:31] <DrPenguin> MonkeyDust: I dont think he did the url, I think he means the literal output
[20:31] <anddam> can anyone help me with edubuntu? I'm trying to allow an user to install software without providing other rights, like in http://askubuntu.com/a/78806

[20:34] <munzxttt> hi! i am runing ubuntu 11.10 'upgraded from 11.04' and i had kde installed , although i removed kde i still have 'kubuntu
[20:34] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, apparently the missing thing is: gstreamer-vaapi
[20:34] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: aha! a gstreamer codec that will leverage vaapi
[20:34] <pleasehelpme> ok, i have installed the pastebin thing via terminal... I will have to figure out how to post it, please bare with me\
[20:34] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, not part of Ubuntu it seems
[20:34] <DHR> In Oneiric AMD64, pressing the hardware power button doesn't evoke any action from LightDM.  Contrast that with Unity: once logged in, the pressing power button causes a "shutdown this system now?" box to pop up.  How can I get LightDM to do the same?  What controls this?
[20:35] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: you can probably just go out, dl the source or whatever, and build / install it
[20:36] <munzxttt> hi .... how can i remove kde 'kubuntu' screen when booting or shutting down!? i am running ubuntu 11.02 upgraded from 11.04 and i had kde installed!
[20:36] <munzxttt> i meant 11.10
[20:36] <pleasehelpme> http://paste.ubuntu.com/789896/
[20:36] <DrPenguin> munzxttt: thats probably something associated with plymouth
[20:36] <pleasehelpme> I think i have it posted
[20:36] <barberan> munzxttt, I'm afraid the best way is to reinstall the system
[20:37] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: ok.. so if im guessing right, the /dev/sdb drives should be the NAS drive your talking about
[20:37] <munzxttt> DrPenguin : what is plymouth!???
[20:37] <DrPenguin> !plymouth | munzxttt
[20:37] <pleasehelpme> I have to say, this community support is wicked!  Ya it's the 750gb drive
[20:38] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: now.. unfortunately I see ifs a RAID drive.. and i do not know how to mount those, if anyhting special is involved
[20:38] <pleasehelpme> it isd one drive out of a raid
[20:39] <pleasehelpme> i was told I could just hook it up and mounti it... the file on it belongs to a navy heritage museum
[20:39] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: naively, yous hould be able to create a directory to mount it too, and maybe just do a mount..
[20:39] <pleasehelpme> they have been cataloging thier collection for 5 years and paid someone t250,000 to do it
[20:40] <pleasehelpme> the raid wa thier backup
[20:40] <mumbles__> wooo.
[20:40] <Agamemnus> Hey guys, question...
[20:40] <mumbles__> this virson of ubuntu dosent like my  grpahics card
[20:40] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: NO MORE QUESTIONS FROM YOU! jk whats up
[20:40] <Agamemnus> So I was trying to run my program on CentOS, but I think they don't have the right lib so it won't work. I get this error:
[20:40] <balazs> DrPenguin: kernel driver in use: radeon
[20:40] <Agamemnus> "error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[20:40] <pleasehelpme> so, if i understand right it is seeing the drive and the partitions, just not mounting them
[20:40] <mebigfatguy> mumbles__, did you try adding nomodeset to your startup in grub?
[20:41] <DrPenguin> balazs: ok.. im not familiar with radeon..
[20:41] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: yeah
[20:41] <Agamemnus> So I would have to install it on the target system?
[20:41] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: type ldd whateverYourExecuting
[20:41] <munzxttt> DrPenguin : yes! ... it says that true!! ... i get kubuntu logo ... how can i change it back to the defult!? and how can i remove everything back to a clean ubuntu 11.10?! plz!!!
[20:41] <Agamemnus> Is there a way to make it work without installing it?
[20:41] <mumbles__> mebigfatguy, not yet, just did an upgrade
[20:41] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: if it needs the library than no
[20:41] <pleasehelpme> DrPenguin: are you on for a bit?"
[20:41] <Agamemnus> ah, so those are all the dependencies
[20:42] <DrPenguin> munzxttt: look into plymouth to change it
[20:42] <Agamemnus> Is there some way to package all the dependencies in one megafile?
[20:42] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: I should be.. unless im kicked out of here :P
[20:42] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:42] <pleasehelpme> ok, i am going to do some research
[20:42] <pleasehelpme> brb
[20:42] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: thats generally not the idea
[20:43] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: the target computer should be responsible for having the dependencies. YOUR responsibility is to properly and clearly list them
[20:43] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, on Terminal, try: 'sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth'
[20:43] <Agamemnus> It's good to know I can see the dependencies though
[20:45] <munzxttt> mkanyicy : i get the same screen that says ' /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo'
[20:45] <Agamemnus> One more question, DrPenguin. Please say yes...
[20:45] <DrPenguin> no!
[20:45] <Agamemnus> Are these libraries mostly cross-compatible between, say, Ubuntu and centos?
[20:46] <Agamemnus> (i had centos on a vm but it was reals tuff to work with...)
[20:46] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: generally yes, ive never heard of a library being germaine to an OS.. most of these libs are standard
[20:46] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, on Terminal, try: 'sudo update-alternatives --config' and press TAB to see options with plymouth (or anything with splash)
[20:46] <Agamemnus> OK, thank you Doctor. That's a bit of a relief!
[20:46] <DrPenguin> the issue you COULD encounter would be if possibly a library is only on a certain architecture.. but now a days that shouldnt be all too common
[20:46] <Agamemnus> i see
[20:47] <DrPenguin> I was about to start talking about non x86 platforms and he leaves.. lame
[20:47] <gener1c> hey
[20:47] <gener1c> im using ubuntu 11.10
[20:48] <gener1c> and firefox 8 keeps of freezing and unfreezing randomly
[20:48] <gener1c>  anybody else experienced this?
[20:48] <DrPenguin> gener1c: it seems like many people are seeing this with ff8 or ff9
[20:48] <munzxttt> mkanyicy : i found the default folder under '/lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo'but how can i change the current values back to the default!?
[20:49] <gener1c> DrPenguin: any ideas on how to solve it?
[20:49] <DrPenguin> gener1c: use a better browser! :P i dunno I dont use ubuntu or firefox
[20:49] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, i only have one so i cant confirm on my machine,
[20:50] <coolstar-pc> gener1c: Upgrade to firefox 9
[20:50] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, you have to write that command and stop at --config
[20:50] <savid> What's a good way to search for packages and show what apt repository they're coming from?
[20:50] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, and press TAB and say yes to see available options
[20:50] <DrPenguin> savid: you can get info about a particular package from apt, and it will tell you where it comes from. it all comes from the control file
[20:50] <pippo> ciao
[20:51] <savid> DrPenguin,  apt-get?  Not sure which apt cmd will do that for me
[20:51] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, you should see something like 'plymouth', 'default.plymouth', 'text.plymouth' etc
[20:51] <DrPenguin> savid: I think its apt-get info? im not sure, check out the manpage
[20:52] <mkanyicy> munzxttt,  then 'sudo update-alternatives --config plymouth'
[20:52] <glebihan> savid, to search use "apt-cache search packagename"
[20:53] <DrPenguin> glebihan: that wont get him the meta info of the package though
[20:53] <savid> Oh, it's apt-cache showpkg :)
[20:53] <glebihan> savid, "apt-cache policy packagename" can also be useful
[20:54] <Rewt`> so, would the powers that be sue for ubuntu logo infringement?

[20:58] <pleasehelpme> DrPenguin: Still around?
[20:58] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: nope
[20:58] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:59] <pleasehelpme> ok, but I'm going to pretend you are
[20:59] <pleasehelpme> so i found this http://paste.ubuntu.com/789915/
[20:59] <mumbles__> !pastbin
[20:59] <mumbles__> ack.
[21:00] <pleasehelpme> if you could help me translate it for my situation I would be forever grateful
[21:00] <spao> suck my cock.
[21:01] <urlin2u> op
[21:01] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: so it looks like whats happening is that it makes a device node for RAID discs and links it to whateve rthe kernel saw as your actual drive partition
[21:01] <urlin2u> !op
[21:02] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: then all you do is make a directory that the disk will mount to and mount the new device node since its now running through md and not as a raw disk
[21:02] <pleasehelpme> the issue for me is that I'm functionally retarded when it comes to linux, being an absolute newb
[21:03] <pleasehelpme> I can't figure out what to enter into terminal to get it to do that\
[21:03] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: well all you need to do is run those commands and you will be ble to access the drives
[21:03] <pleasehelpme> would you be willing to look at the two pastebins and give me a step by step?
[21:04] <pleasehelpme> but the sda things are different, no?
[21:04] <pleasehelpme> sorry to be a ppest
[21:05] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: ok, a little explanation. Linux lists drives either wiht an hd(lettter) or sd(letter) under /dev to indicate its block device identifier (dont worry about that). it used to be that hd WAS hard drive and sd WAs special device, but now hd is only seen usually for ATA drrives. your sda nodes are your main drive partitions, the sdb nodes are your external NAS's partitions
[21:06] <pleasehelpme> ok that makes sense
[21:06] <n1c0-Phone> Hi ! I'm a french user who has a problem with minecraft on ubuntu
[21:06] <DrPenguin> so, you want to run the mdadm mkdir and mount commands for sdb1 and sdb2, giving each one a different /mnt directory and issuing them a different /dev/md node
[21:06] <Guest16945> Having problem with sharing printer from ubuntu. Did it before with a canonprinter but with my new hp laserjet P1006 it doesnt work. Works perfect i Ubuntu but on XP machine it doesnt recognize the adress to printer. Dont remembering what queue name i can use if i just add a port in windows? Im really stuck and i really tried reading some howetos
[21:07] <n1c0-Phone> My minecraft is so laggy on linux but not on windows o_O
[21:07] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  so put more RAM to the java process
[21:07] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  by default i think it assigns about 100 meg to the process
[21:07] <tim167> hello, how can I _detect_ my keyobard layout after installing ubuntu? (i selected wrong one during installation, and I don't know which one it should be) thanks!
[21:07] <mumbles__> argh. cant reconfure my xorg
[21:07] <n1c0-Phone> Resistance: already put 2048 Meg
[21:07] <pleasehelpme> but there are three partitions on the drive? do i need to make a directory ofr each?
[21:07]  * tnk1 is away: Gone away for now
[21:08] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: just sdb1 and 2, sdb3 is a swap partition
[21:08] <n1c0-Phone> Resistance: -Xms1024 -Xmx2048
[21:08] <Resistance> tnk1:  please turn off away messages in channels, please.  its not smiled upon in the ubuntu channels.
[21:08] <DrPenguin> n1c0-Phone: could be your linux driver / X configuration
[21:08] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  i would keep both of those numbers equal btw...
[21:08] <Resistance> but DrPenguin does have a good point
[21:09] <DHR> does anyone know how the hardware power button is plumbed into Unity?  into LightDM?
[21:09] <n1c0-Phone> Mmh... How to fix it, so
[21:09] <mumbles__> right. this is starting to piss me off now
[21:09] <pleasehelpme> ok so let me try and figure it out, I'll put it in pastebin for you to check it
[21:09] <tim167> i would like to be able to choose keyboard layout by typing some keys, like the ubuntu install procedure offers, but how do I do that after installation ?
[21:10] <DrPenguin> tim167: theres a keyboard utility probably under preferences, you can set up to 4 keyboards to swap between
[21:10] <urlin2u> tim167, type keyboard in the dash
[21:10] <tim167> DrPenguin: yes I looked at that, but it doesn't allow me to detect the keyboard, only select from a list, and I don't know which one to take
[21:10] <n1c0-Phone> Resistance, DrPenguin ? Any ideas ? Do you want a paste of my errors when i launch it into a terminal ?
[21:11] <tim167> urlin2u: what's the Dash?
[21:11] <DrPenguin> n1c0-Phone: I dont know, it will depend on the driver your using and your card, theres probably extensions and options you can enable in the X config so that you leverage more of your card
[21:11] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  its partly dependent on your graphics card/driver, if you want to paste it, use a pastebin
[21:11] <urlin2u> tim167, if you have the unity desktop 11.10 it is the top button in the left panel
[21:12] <DrPenguin> the Arch wiki has GREAT documentation of setting up an appropriate xorg.conf for things like games
[21:12] <Guest16945> Having problem with sharing printer from ubuntu. Did it before with a canonprinter but with my new hp laserjet P1006 it doesnt work.

Im really stuck and i really tried reading some howetos
[21:12] <n1c0-Phone> Ok thanks guys

[21:13] <Guest16945> urlin2u: ur talking to me?
[21:13] <tim167> urlin2u: oh but do you also mean the keyboard preferences thing? as I said it has no "detect by keystrokes" function it seems...
[21:14] <gojol> hi guys, and happy new year
[21:14] <urlin2u> tim167, I saw the detect problem, I'm not sure there.
[21:14] <gojol> May i disturb you for a question that disturb me for a while but less than a problem ^^
[21:14] <urlin2u> guest16945: yes
[21:15] <urlin2u> frustrated, yes I was talking to you.
[21:15] <gojol> in my shell when i type for exemple $ df, I get the normal answer but the tabs are like never respected, same for other commands
[21:15] <gojol> does it normal or should i tune something ?
[21:15] <DrPenguin> gojol: the tabs are never expected.. whacha mean
[21:15] <tim167> urlin2u: ok thanks anyway... should be somewhere... it's there during installation, but i need to change kbd layout now and I don't know the name of it...not even sure what country it belongs to...so the only way for me would be this detect by pressing some keys option...
[21:17] <frustrated> urlin2u: perhaps yes. But im not really sure i got everything right in my linux system and i have no problem with other shared printservers on network to my winmachine so?! What queue is most likely being used when shared printer from ubuntu
[21:17] <pleasehelpme> DrPenguin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789926/  Could you look at this?  If it is right I will just cut and paste in terminal
[21:17] <urlin2u> frustrated, I see, wish I new something. :D
[21:17] <Kir123> Socket-, probably you need to tune uid= gid= file_mode= dir_mode=  mount options
[21:17] <gojol> DrPenguin: well you say that normal so, no way to get result aligned from this kind of commands ^^ ?
[21:17] <frustrated> urlin2u: ok
[21:18] <DrPenguin> gojol: I didnt say it was normal, I asked for clarification
[21:18] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: you want to adjust that.. your linking 2 partitions to the same md node, you want to use 2 different nodes
[21:19] <pleasehelpme> ok so I have no idea wht that means
[21:19] <pleasehelpme> md node?
[21:19] <eightfold> hi, i'm looking for a netbook that works out of the box with latest ubuntu. hibernate/resume, wifi, camera, bluetooth, gpu etc
[21:19] <eightfold> recommendations?
[21:20] <gojol> DrPenguin: oh sorry so. I meant that I'm reading the "Linux Command Line" and in an exemple their result for the df command is a well organised answer, I mean, well aligned, and me it's not the case, "like if tabs" (I don't know if there are any tabs in there) were not align

[21:30] <DrPenguin> in the future, you can "possibly" do apt-cache seach "search term" and you may luck out, or there is a web front end for searching the ubuntu repos, you can even search for what may be inside a pkg
[21:30] <guntbert> au7h3n71c: what is the purpose?

[21:35] <SilfenX> just had server crash while updating id3 tags on a number of files in a directory. Now the directory is inaccessible, or rather it s content I should say. It is also not possible to delete the directory itself, system reporting 'Directory not empty.'. I can not see any files with  the ls command.
[21:35] <iShaman> SilfenX: have you tried turning it on and off again?
[21:35] <iShaman> I mean
[21:35] <iShaman> off and on again
[21:36]  * mumbles__ hates his machaine
[21:36] <SilfenX> iShaman: I ll try that ...
[21:36] <sedeki> Is there anyway to revoke the crypted homedir / swap / etc in ubuntu?
[21:36] <sedeki> my hdd is really slow, i notice that it works much faster outside my homedir
[21:38] <_Marcus> So alt and the arrow key just say "Wuf ---- Wuf". As a dog cannot fit in my server, I know that's not why it is saying that. Why is it saying that?
[21:38] <mumbles__> I hate this machine

[21:39] <mikere> Xyzzy_: if you just ask the question, someone might answer.
[21:39] <Xyzzy_> okay
[21:39] <Kir123> sedeki, do you have separate partition for /home?
[21:41] <15SAARM7Z> can anyone recommend a micro usb wifi adapter for ubuntu 11.10 64-bit?
[21:41] <sedeki> um, "df -h" says that i have /dev/sda1, then at the bottom: /home/xxxxx/.Private  with the same size, availability etc as sda1
[21:41] <iShaman> sedeki: you got that rootkit too?
[21:41] <MonkeyDust> 15SAARM7Z  you can use any thumbdrive
[21:41] <sedeki> sorry?
[21:41] <_Marcus> Does anyone know why my screen is saying "Wuf ---- Wuf" and wont change to another screen(screen command that is, not my display
[21:41] <Xyzzy_> i was reading up on ubuntu shortcuts and i found the record screen shortcut, alt+printscreen+r
[21:41] <Xyzzy_> my question is, how do i get it to record for a definite period of time? i dont see it in the gui. all i see is 'begin' and 'end'.
[21:41] <MonkeyDust> ah wifi
[21:42] <mumbles__> woo. non booting yet again .
[21:42] <mumbles__> feal the hate.
[21:42] <sedeki> iShaman, what?
[21:42] <iShaman> sedeki: a rootkit does that
[21:42] <sedeki> rootkits sounds scary
[21:43] <iShaman> basically means you were hacked
[21:43] <iShaman> in most cases that is
[21:43] <sedeki> Kir123, still there?
[21:43] <sedeki> iShaman, no offence
[21:43] <SilfenX> iShaman: a reboot of the server did not remedy the problem. I sill cant remove the directory and it still doesnt show any files inside it despite reporting it isnt empty :P
[21:44] <Xyzzy_> is alt+printscreen+r just by default aliased to a command line screen recorder?
[21:44] <Xyzzy_> that doesnt make sense because it has a gui
[21:44] <mongy> sedeki, my encrypted private folder says the same as my home partition, it's normal
[21:44] <_Marcus> Is it possible to access my screens from other SSH sessions? It seems I can't atm
[21:44] <ssta> _Marcus: Wuff Wuff is screen's default visual bell.  I have no idea why (probably someone has a sense of humour)
[21:44] <caffine> how do i find the /dev device to which a usb device has been bound? apparently, usbcore registered my device with snd-usb-audio, but i'm not sure where or how to find it to use on the command line with mplayer. i can see the video at /dev/video0 but don't know where to find the audio. here are the relevant entries from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789239/ here's lsusb:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/789240/ here's what i'm trying t
[21:45] <_Marcus> ssta: But can I access my screens from other SSH sessions?
[21:45] <sedeki> mongy, so how do i remove the encryption?
[21:45] <ssta> _Marcus: sure.  screen -rd
[21:45] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  yes, i used to do it
[21:45] <Xyzzy_> caffine, try looking in /dev/disk/by-id/
[21:45] <_Marcus> It says "There is no screen to be deattached"
[21:46] <_Marcus> I still have my other screen open though
[21:46] <SilfenX> just had server crash while updating id3 tags on a number of files in a directory. Now the directory is inaccessible, or rather it s content I should say. It is also not possible to delete the directory itself, system reporting 'Directory not empty.'. I can not see any files with  the ls command.
[21:46] <mongy> sedeki,  it's not using any more space
[21:46] <ssta> _Marcus: screen -list shows the screens
[21:46] <ninjah> Does anyone know how to use upstart and initctl? I placed a job in /etc/initctl but it doesn't know about my new job
[21:46] <Xyzzy_> SilfenX, when you run ifconfig|grep inet, whats the output
[21:46] <_Marcus> ssta: it says "No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-marcus"
[21:47] <iShaman> SilfenX: I think you should try to
[21:47] <sedeki> mongy, the hdd works visibly much slower in my home dir
[21:47] <iShaman> kill -9 *
[21:47] <ssta> _Marcus: well, you have no screens running as marcus then
[21:47] <iShaman> it should flus it completely
[21:47] <mongy> sedeki, because it is encrypted.
[21:47] <sedeki> SO, HOW, do i remove the encryption
[21:47] <iShaman> sedeki: you kill the encryption process? kill -9 *
[21:48] <ssta> _Marcus: byobu makes running screen a bit easier (and prettier).  You might want to look at that.  Or have a read of: http://www.bangmoney.org/presentations/screen.html
[21:48]  * eigil 
[21:48] <_Marcus> ssta: But I did "screen java " then stuff to start the jar, that should start the screen right?
[21:48] <sedeki> can someone ban iShaman ?
[21:48] <MonkeyDust> i use byobu, couldnt miss it anymore
[21:49] <caffine> Xyzzy_:  thanks! i don't see the device in there, though. the device isn't actually a disk. it's the audio device i want. i found /dev/v4l/by-* but it's not there either.
[21:49] <jj777> hola a todos
[21:49] <sedeki> iShaman is a troll
[21:49] <SilfenX> iShaman: I should try what? You never finished typing it looked like but maybe that was intentional
[21:49] <Xyzzy_> caffine: open ubuntu's active input dialog, alt+printscreen+k
[21:50] <ssta> iShaman: don't do that

[21:52] <Atomsk> TomSlominski, tell me the ftp IP and give me a read+write, I'll help you :)
[21:52] <Xyzzy_> TomSlominski: try alt+printscreen+k for proftpds inetd/xinetd mode, and type 'idstat'
[21:52] <_Marcus> ubottu happy birthday!

[21:52] <irocksu> Can I tell apt-mirror specifically to not uninstall old versions of packages?
[21:52] <Xyzzy_> idstat is completely nonharmful
[21:52] <TomSlominski> Xyzzy_, I've tried inetd mode as well, it won't start either.
[21:53] <Atomsk> TomSlominski, all I want is an account of the FTP with read+write- don't be rude! I'm trying to help!
[21:53] <Pricey> iceroot: Howdy. What's up?
[21:53] <TomSlominski> Atomsk: But the problem is that FTP won't start...
[21:53] <Atomsk> I suppose you could go try alt+printscreen+k, but I don't know if that will work in your case :/
[21:53] <iceroot> Pricey: Xyzzy_ is suggesting magic syskeys request for killing all processes

[22:03] <Resistance> !pastebin | wai0004
[22:03] <_Marcus> I meant sceen, the command.
[22:04] <iceroot> _Marcus: then my command is the correct one for switching screens
[22:04] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  don't forget to mention that you're on a mac, with different keybindings
[22:04] <mongy> _Marcus,  check out byobu v5, much nicer.
[22:04] <_Marcus> MonkeyDust: it shouldn't matter as long as I am not using the function keys
[22:04] <iceroot> _Marcus: you cant switch between two screenessions but you can switch inside one screen session the windows
[22:04] <iceroot> _Marcus: ctrl + a + c to open another window in your screen
[22:05] <ssta> _Marcus: use byobu.  It's the same, but easier and prettier
[22:05] <iceroot> _ctrl + a + n to switch between them
[22:05] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  fair enough, but don't you think you should better ask in a mac support channel?
[22:05] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: that has nothing to do with mac
[22:05] <mongy> if you have more than one byobu session, there is a byobu-select-session command.
[22:06] <vouth> Hi, how can I install an OS to another partition without booting a live CD?
[22:06] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: even a mac has the keys "ctrl" "a" and "n"
[22:06] <_Marcus> MonkeyDust: They would redirect me here anyway, It's an Ubuntu machine I am accessing with SSH and it's a command bulit into Ubuntu
[22:06] <iceroot> !usb | vouth
[22:06] <iceroot> vouth: or pxe
[22:06] <ssta> mongy: it's basically screen behind.  You can use screen -list, and screen -r <PID>
[22:07] <_Marcus> iceroot: It just says "No other window"
[22:07] <iceroot> _Marcus: as i said, ctrl +a +c first to open another window
[22:07] <ssta> _Marcus: that's because you have two screen *sessionss, not two windows.  You'll need to detach from one and attach to the other
[22:08] <iceroot> _Marcus: and you cant switch between to different screen-sessions/commands
[22:08] <vouth> iceroot: I tried this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html but I couldn't figure out how to make the BIOS boot to it. I tried a few from a selection of boot items such as "USB-FDD", "USB-CD", "USB-HDD", "USB-ZIP", but it wouldn't boot.

[22:08] <Resistance> !ops | Atomsk
[22:09] <iceroot> vouth: that depends on your bios, often you can bring up a boot menu at start (read the messages at boot what to press) and select the drive there
[22:09] <_Marcus> iceroot: Gah, this is so annoying, is there a tutorial I can look at to learn how to use this thing?
[22:09] <iceroot> _Marcus: man screen  i guess

[22:20] <greghaynes> I dont see options in right click, I can go to file right click -> properties -> open with and the binary I would like to use is not in that list
[22:20] <Pilif12p> O_o
[22:21] <vouth> greghaynes: I'm not familiar with pymazon but I know that in KDE System Settings there's a place to type in a custom application name ("If the program is not listed, enter the name…")
[22:21] <tjiggi_fo> greghaynes, you can add it using the "add" button no?
[22:21] <greghaynes> tjiggi_fo: the add button adds a selected item in the list to default applications AFAICT
[22:21] <_Marcus> So I believe I got this, Ctrl + A to switch screens, Ctrl + A + C to make a new screen, am I right?
[22:21] <_Marcus> Because that's what's working for me atm
[22:22] <greghaynes> vouth: yes, im trying to find something that will let me do that for default unity...
[22:22] <vouth> greghaynes: Don't know. Sorry :-(
[22:22] <greghaynes> I found some mimetype config files but not sure how to use these as they all reference .desktop files
[22:22] <greghaynes> vouth: no worries
[22:23] <vouth> greghaynes: maybe you could create a new launcher in the Debian menus and that would update the list of programs from which they can be selected? :-S Just an idea
[22:24] <Flannel> Just so everyone knows, we've set up temporary restrictions on unregistered users here.  They'll be forwarded to another channel and asked to prove their humanity/non-spambottiness before being allowed in.
[22:24] <tjiggi_fo> greghaynes, click the + at "Add Custom Command" and see if your binary is in that list
[22:24] <Flannel> While this is annoying, it should make this channel a bit more calm.  Thank you all for flying.  Have a nice day :)
[22:24] <greghaynes> tjiggi_fo: where is the "Add custom command" youre referring to? thanks
[22:25] <greghaynes> #ubuntu ops <3
[22:25] <tjiggi_fo> greghaynes, you have to click "Add" in the properties window first
[22:27] <greghaynes> So in properties -> open with I have to select an application to be able to press 'Add', when I select something and press Add it just adds that to the Default Applications list
[22:27] <EuroNerd> how do I install KDE on a default Ubuntu 11.10 installation?

[22:27] <astartoth> hi all, any way I can adopt the old behaviour and make boot up info show on tty1 instead of tty7?
[22:27] <SystemParadox> evening all. I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and libceguiogre-dev is gone (ogre has been upgraded from 1.6 to 1.7). What is the recommended way of fixing this? I have to make my own Ogre package or my own CEGUI package? Thanks.

[22:29] <astartoth> you might be right :-). I'm used to debian.
[22:29] <astartoth> anyway, how can I make messages show up in tty1?
[22:29] <EuroNerd> coolstar-pc, thank you.  I assume this will only add an alternative desktop at login time, but will not in any way modify the functionality of Ubuntu under Unity?  (I might choose to stay with Unity, so want to keep it healthy.)
[22:29] <bjrohan> MAJOR help needed! My internet connection SUCKS! When I first boot up I get about 7 Mbps per speedtest.net, after a few minutes, either wired, or wireless, it drops to 1 Mbps, unacceptable. Please help
[22:29] <greghaynes> tjiggi_fo: not sure how you found the use custom command, what do you have selected when you press 'add', by default for me that button is grayed out
[22:29] <vouth> iceroot: I don't know whether my last (very long) question got lost in the spam-shuffle or you just didn't have an answer, but here's a pared-down version of it: There was a thread online that implied that my BIOS brand doesn't have boot menus, and I don't know how to find one. Is there an alternative to PXE (which looks like it needs another machine) and USB (which I can't figure out how to boot? Thanks for your patience :-)
[22:29] <coolstar-pc> EueoNerd: It will only add an alternative desktop
[22:30] <EuroNerd> coolstar-pc, OK, thanks!
[22:30] <vouth> bjrohan: might that be a problem with your ISP (internet service provider)?
[22:30] <armorsmith42> Anyone ever have `dpkg --configure -a` cause their machine to shut down? I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and am tyring to fix the fact that my software index is broken.
[22:30] <tjiggi_fo> heh.. nothing selected. But I'm also on 10.04 so maybe different
[22:30] <vouth> bjrohan: Also, have you monitored network usage to see if there's something that you don't see eating up all your connection speed?
[22:30] <iceroot> vouth: cd is not an option?
[22:31] <greghaynes> tjiggi_fo: ah, thats probably it
[22:31] <bjrohan> I don't think so @vouth everything seems okay in  a windows machine
[22:31] <bjrohan> how do I do that vouth?
[22:31] <vouth> iceroot: Nope, sadly. I think I used them all up. :-P
[22:31] <iceroot> vouth: there was also a way from installing from harddisc
[22:32] <vouth> bjrohan: sudo aptitude install iftop
[22:32] <iceroot> vouth: http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/10/install-ubuntu-from-harddisk-without-cdrom.html
[22:32] <iceroot> vouth: maybe that is still working
[22:33] <vouth> bjrohan, and then run sudo iftop
[22:33] <vouth> bjrohan, that will show the connections that are open.
[22:33] <EuroNerd> coolstar-pc, during installation of kubuntu-desktop, the installer is asking me to choose the default display manager:  kdm or lightdm. Which should I choose?
[22:33] <Dominionized> kdm is more integrated into kde
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> EuroNerd: kdm is the kde desktop manager
[22:34] <Dominionized> so you can change themes directly in the system settings
[22:34] <bjrohan> ok, will do and report back in a bit
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> EuroNerd: Not sure about lightdm
[22:34] <Dominionized> I'd recommend KDM
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> !info lightdm | EuroNerd
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> !info kdm | EuroNerd
[22:34] <vouth> bjrohan, this talks about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=965242
[22:34] <EuroNerd> ok, I picked kdm, thanks!
[22:35] <armorsmith42> Anyone know what things I might want to watch to figure out how dpkg is causing a shutdown?
[22:35] <iceroot> armorsmith42: what command you used? what output?
[22:36] <vouth> iceroot, that looks like just what the doctor ordered. I'll just be sure to back up my grub2 configuration first :-D Thanks!!
[22:36] <armorsmith42> dpkg --configure -a
[22:36] <iceroot> armorsmith42: any hints in /var/log/syslog" about the shutdown? is it a clean shutdown or instant power off?
[22:36] <armorsmith42> Processing triggers for dictionaries-common ... Setting up tex-common (2.09) ...
[22:36] <iceroot> vouth: thats a good idea :)
[22:36] <armorsmith42> It is a clean shutdown
[22:36] <jeeves_moss> is there a way to show a list of the DNS names of people logging into a system from the CLI?
[22:36] <bjrohan> vouth I have the program up and running what amI looking for?
[22:37] <atvr> hi i have an issue, i dont remember what was the command line to put into root shell to set nomodeset into grub, the one that always work not the one that work only once boot
[22:37] <atvr> one boot**
[22:37] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: "w"
[22:37] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: also "who" has some infos
[22:38] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, that only shows who's currently logged in.  I'm looking for the history
[22:38] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: there is no history
[22:38] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: maybe something usefull in "/var/log/auth.log"
[22:38] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, so, I can't look up who's logged into the shell?
[22:38] <atvr> anyone have an idea
[22:39] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: auth.log will save something like that but not with the FQDN i guess
[22:39] <vouth> bjrohan, look at the bottom right three columns. That shows the current rate of network traffic. If it's closer to 7m but you're only getting 1m connection speed that would indicate there's something eating up your connection. If it's closer to 1m I have no idea :-D  If there is a problem, you can look above at the individual connections to look for something unexpected that's using a lot of bandwidth. I have to go now, but good luck! :-)
[22:39] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, hummm
[22:39] <iceroot> atvr: just append "nomodeset"
[22:39] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, lol, there's nothing in auth.log!
[22:40] <mkanyicy> atvr, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[22:40] <hansg01> can anyone guide me to develop apps?
[22:40] <mkanyicy> atvr, you put it on the /etc/default/grub file
[22:40] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: then /var/log/auth.log.1
[22:40] <izissise> Flips a coin: HEADS
[22:40] <atvr> mkanyicy: yeah but what is the command to do that
[22:41] <mkanyicy> atvr, no command, you should put it there
[22:41] <owenll> atvr: sudo nano /etc/default/grub  or gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and then add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
[22:41] <greghaynes> sweet, so I found out an easy way to add applications to the default applications list - create a custom .desktop file in /usr/share/applications for the application
[22:41] <greghaynes> If anyone is curious
[22:41] <atvr> mkanyicy: i have to put it via terminal because i cant get into ubuntu
[22:42] <mkanyicy> atvr, use nano as owenll has shown you
[22:43] <RokcStar> no more spam?
[22:43] <mkanyicy> RokcStar, how can we help you?
[22:43] <RokcStar> hey whats up
[22:44] <RokcStar> i wanted to know if there was a way to edit, adjust, or avoid seeing the network pop up when a connection is established or disconnected
[22:44] <RokcStar> the reason is because the pop message doesn't close by itself on my asus netbook ..but it closes correctly on my desktop
[22:45] <atvr> owenll:  error writing /etc/default/grub: read-only file system, do have an idea
[22:45] <Guest1496> hello
[22:45] <owenll> atvr: did you use sudo as it says above?
[22:45] <Guest1496> happy  nnew year
[22:45] <mkanyicy> RokcStar, then I think you should perhaps be investigating on how to fix the pop ups to close themselves rather than fiddling with network manager
[22:46] <aledoni> which version of ubuntu do you guys think would be better for battery life?
[22:46] <atvr> owenll: yes
[22:46] <atvr> owenll: should i type login befor
[22:46] <aledoni> i am new and I need some help figuring out which version is best for battery life, someone please?
[22:46] <RokcStar> well yes thats what i am trying to do i thought maybe you guys have dealt with that issue on here
[22:47] <eron> How to install libusb-1.0.8 after I download it.  How do you make use of the install.sh?  What is the linux version of an .exe file?  Trying to root a droid phone
[22:47] <iceroot> aledoni: any version which is a using a kernel lower then 2.6.38
[22:47] <mkanyicy> atvr, this is interesting, it is possible that your ubuntu remounted as readonly when it encountered some errors
[22:47] <aledoni> so like the 10.04 version?
[22:47] <iceroot> eron: libusb-1.0.0 will not work? because it is in the repos
[22:48] <iceroot> !repos | eron
[22:48] <iceroot> aledoni: correct
[22:48] <atvr> mkanyicy: maybe you can help me, i have kubuntu 11.10, never booted because after grub the screen is going black like its off
[22:49] <_Marcus> So this screen thing confuses me, is there another way I can run a process in another thread or something and I can view it with a command and when I leave my SSH session, it wont be destroyed?
[22:49] <iceroot> _Marcus: screen
[22:49] <eron> when installing Heimdall to flash the phone it gives an error on the install Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8)
[22:50] <_Marcus> iceroot: I read this: http://www.bangmoney.org/presentations/screen.html and I still don't understand it
[22:50] <iceroot> _Marcus: type "screen" and then you can use everyting inside that session and it will not destroyed after ssh is dead
[22:50] <mkanyicy> atvr, has that nomodeset ever worked for you, i noticed you mentioned its use as once off on boot
[22:50] <Flannel> _Marcus: You start screen, you make a bunch of consoles/terminals in screen (the same screen session), those will persist when you detach (you don't kill screen)
[22:50] <eron> figure if i update it the program will install should i look in another direction?
[22:50] <Guestnumber2> Can someone help me out? :)
[22:50] <_Marcus> But how do I access the screen in another SSH session?
[22:50] <iceroot> !ask | Guestnumber2
[22:50] <_Marcus> It wont let me.
[22:51] <rich> iweb.com
[22:51] <iceroot> _Marcus: screen -r
[22:51] <Flannel> _Marcus: What do you mean another ssh session?
[22:51] <barney789> hi
[22:51] <iceroot> _Marcus: or screen -x, then both ssh sessions can see the same screen
[22:51] <pukeko> Marcus: you can detach your screen session ( screen -d )
[22:51] <atvr> mkanyicy: yes, i usealy need to set nomodeset and then when there is a login prompt in terminal i have to put sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates
[22:52] <aledoni> iceroot: is there a big performace difference between ubuntu 10.04 and xubuntu 10.04 or are they about the same?
[22:52] <Guestnumber2> with gnome-shell it wont let me install a theme in gnome-tweak-tool, the theme upload shows a Triangle with exclamation
[22:52] <pukeko> Marcus: you can also re-attach your screen session ( screen -r )
[22:52] <owenll> atvr: are you currently logged into the machine whose grub menu you want to edit permanently?
[22:52] <iceroot> aledoni: not a great one for modern hardware
[22:52] <iceroot> aledoni: but xubuntu is taking less ressources/performance then ubuntu(gnome2)
[22:52] <atvr> owenll: no
[22:53] <aledoni> iceroot: thanks
[22:53] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok then, im not sure about the fglrx-updates but you can add (or append a la iceroot) the nomodeset option to the /etc/default/grub file and then run sudo update-grub afterwards
[22:54] <eron> anyone able to tell me how to update the libusb from 1.0.0 to 1.0.8?
[22:54] <barney789> new to ubuntu and need some help in getting the wireless connection working.
[22:54] <iceroot> !wifi | barney789
[22:54] <mkanyicy> atvr, if im not wrong, you said you cant put nomodeset on /etc/default/grub because  the message that comes back saying your filesystem is read-only?
[22:54] <owenll> atvr:  then you need to follow the advice given here to boot it first, then make permanent changes http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation
[22:55] <atvr> mkanyicy: that corect
[22:56] <mkanyicy> atvr: can you try to do this and tell me what is the error message: 'sudo touch /forcefsck'
[22:56] <_Marcus> So I've tried to resume a screen, and this happened: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789999/
[22:57] <mkanyicy> atvr, that should create a new empty file under / and print nothing on the screen, otherwise the error message might come to the screen and file not created
[22:57] <ssta> _Marcus: you have to detach it if it's already attached (-dr)
[22:57] <Flannel> _Marcus: If a screen is already attached (and not detached), you need to use -rd
[22:57] <_Marcus> Oh, derp
[22:57] <Flannel> mkanyicy: That'll detach it (from whereever it is currently attached) and then reattach it to you
[22:57] <Flannel> _Marcus: ^^, sorry mkanyicy
[22:58] <ubuntuaddicted> been a long time since I had to kill my xserver from tty1. whats the best command to restart the xsession?
[22:58] <atvr> mkanyicy: touch: /forcefsck: read-only file system
[22:58] <atvr> canot touch**
[22:58] <atvr> cannot**
[22:59] <atvr> mkanyicy: do you want me to type login first and then put your command
[22:59] <mkanyicy> Flannel, no prob
[22:59] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, as expected. then you have to boot on recovery mode and do fsck on your filesystem, remember to put the nomodeset option on boot time
[23:00] <mkanyicy> atvr, no, you dont have to login, same  behaviour will not change
[23:00] <atvr> mkanyicy: okay but i cannot boot even if i am in recovery mode
[23:00] <mkanyicy> atvr, you are encoutering some errors that makes the / filesytem to be re-mounted as read-only as a safety mechanism
[23:01] <mkanyicy> atvr, and you need to fsck your filesystem
[23:01] <atvr> mkanyicy: can you explaine me how to do that i am new to this
[23:03] <mkanyicy> atvr: run this on terminal
[23:03] <mkanyicy> atvr, df -h | grep '/$'
[23:04] <atvr> mkanyicy: ``no such file or directory``
[23:05] <mushy> Hi all :) Happy New Year from a newbie to Ubuntu
[23:05] <meerkats> im manually editing via terminal the Irrlicht engine in usr, the owner is root, so I need something that makes what sudo does to cd into the directories
[23:05] <meerkats> for instance, sudo cd Irrlicht wont work
[23:05] <meerkats> permission denied
[23:06] <mneptok> cd is a built-in command. use "sudo -i" to get an interactive shell with root privileges
[23:07] <metaspike> or use fakeroot
[23:07] <owenll> atvr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/790008/
[23:07] <mushy> If there is anyone out there who can help a newb install Ubuntu onto a seperate drive?
[23:07] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, restart ubuntu and when the menu shows up, choose the 'recovery mode' option and use that nomodeset option as usual
[23:08] <mushy> Would be very greatful :)
[23:08] <Fudge> n/window move 30
[23:08] <Fudge> whoops
[23:10] <mkanyicy> atvr, on recovery mode, you can do a 'sudo e2fsck -v -f -y / '
[23:11] <mkanyicy> atvr, you can start ubuntu again and try to add that nomodeset to /etc/default/grub file using that 'sudo nano' command again
[23:11] <metaspike> atvr,   sudo touch /forcefsck && reboot   (set forcefsck and reboot)
[23:11] <mkanyicy> metaspike, atvr 's system is read-only
[23:11] <metaspike> ah,
[23:12] <mkanyicy> metaspike, so touch is failing
[23:12] <atvr> owenll: thanks but i cant boot, it bring me to a screen with 2 fail
[23:12] <Anaxa> hi
[23:12] <owenll> atvr: ok :-/ good luck with finding a solution
[23:13] <metaspike> atvr, read mkanyicy's advice, he's nailed it
[23:13] <atvr> owenll: one of them is starting load fallback graphics devices and the other one is stopping automatic crash report generation
[23:14] <atvr> mkanyicy: so i put sudo e2fsck -v -f -y / into the root shell
[23:14] <mkanyicy> atvr, yes, on recovery mode
[23:15] <Juventus> Hello!
[23:15] <mkanyicy> atvr, so to summarize, you have 2 problems, the read-only problem and the nomodeset problem and you need to fix the read-only problem first

[23:16] <atvr> mkanyicy: sudo: invalid option - -  'f'
[23:16] <Juventus> How are you tonight Anaxa ?
[23:16] <Anaxa> Juventus, tr kaynak lazým sendmail kurulumu
[23:16] <Juventus> O ne lan
[23:17] <Juventus> How are you other friends ?
[23:17] <mkanyicy> atvr, are you on recovery mode? anyway please paste the command here that you just ran
[23:17] <mkanyicy> Juventus, all the other friends are ok, need help?
[23:17] <Myrtti> Juventus: did you have a Ubuntu Linux related question or problem?
[23:18] <Juventus> Dont have
[23:18] <Juventus> Thanks
[23:18] <atvr> mkanyicy:  sudo -v -f -y /
[23:18] <Juventus> No, not problem
[23:18] <mkanyicy> atvr, that is not right
[23:18] <Fudge> what's the workplace switcher app called
[23:18] <mkanyicy> atvr, 'sudo e2fsck -v -f -y /'
[23:19] <atvr> mkanyicy: oh sorry lol i am new to linux okay i will try
[23:19] <mkanyicy> atvr, run that on recovery mode
[23:19] <Juventus> I've got a question
[23:20] <Juventus> I need a help this question
[23:20] <mkanyicy> !ask | Juventus
[23:20] <atvr> mkanyicy: i am in recovery mode, and i have the same problem an error regarding the invalid option -- ' f '
[23:21] <Juventus> I would learn to senmail install
[23:21] <mkanyicy> atvr, again, did you run e2fsck
[23:21] <atvr> mkanyicy: yes this time i did
[23:21] <Juventus> Are there who knows?
[23:23] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, please rewrite here the full command that is failing exactly the way you typed it on terminal
[23:23] <Juventus> Are there who says this install ?
[23:23] <Juventus> Helpm me!
[23:23] <mkanyicy> atvr, ensure that you are running e2fsck not fsck
[23:23] <atvr> mkanyicy: sudo e2fsck -v -f -y /
[23:24] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, then drop the -f part
[23:24] <mkanyicy> atvr, sudo e2fsck -v -y /
[23:25] <atvr> mkanyicy: e2fsck: Is a directory while trying to open, the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem,
[23:26] <asterisc> atvr: is / mounted? You can't run e2fsck on mounted fs
[23:26] <atvr> asterisc: how can i know ? i am new to ubuntu and linux
[23:26] <tjiggi_fo> !tr | Juventus
[23:26] <asterisc> atvr: look in /etc/fstab, and see the mappings
[23:27] <atvr> asterisc: i cant get into ubuntu so i am stuck with terminal
[23:27] <asterisc> atvr: try more /etc/fstab
[23:27] <Juventus> Free this room
[23:27] <mkanyicy> asterisc, atvr it has to be mounted
[23:27] <mkanyicy> asterisc, its the / partition
[23:27] <atvr> asterisc: after grub, the screen is shutting down
[23:28] <asterisc> mkanyicy: you can't run e2fsck on a live or mounted filesystem
[23:28] <Seveas> asterisc, yes you can, it just can't fix anything
[23:29] <mkanyicy> asterisc, yes, but how to fsck the / filesystem if you cannot touch /forcefsck?
[23:29] <mkanyicy> asterisc, without having to resort to booting off the live cd
[23:29] <atvr> asterisc: what i am looking for
[23:29] <Seveas> atvr, the argument to fsck should be the device node, not the mount pount
[23:29] <Seveas> so, like /dev/sda1
[23:30] <asterisc> atvr: look for / mapping... like UUID=... / ext4 defaults 0 1 or something like that
[23:32] <atvr> i am just tired of trying getting ubuntu work :(!!!!!!
[23:32] <mkanyicy> atvr, I understand your frustration, please bear with us
[23:33] <mkanyicy> asterisc, so what is your suggestion on atvr 's problem?
[23:33] <CarlFK> 43:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35) - that's my wifi right?   on this box it worked with 10.10, but not with 11.10.
[23:33] <atvr> mkanyicy: what is bear meaning, i am french but im learning english
[23:33] <metaspike> doesnt the recovery console have defacto write support?
[23:33] <antivirtel> Hello! I'm going to use an aes-cbc-essiv:wp256 on 192 bits. Is it a good choice? Any negative feedback? I haven't found anything about wp256 hash - what is it expecially?
[23:34] <mkanyicy> atvr, bear is the animal that we like to keep with us ...
[23:34] <iceroot> atvr: why all the extra effrort? start the system with thr issue, press shift on boot, the grub comes up, select the line you want to boot and press "e" to edit that line. put "nomodeset" at the end of the line, start the system, install the driver, finished
[23:34] <mkanyicy> atvr, im kidding, its means 'be patient a little bit'
[23:34] <atvr> mkanyicy: maybe i am a teddy bear XD
[23:34] <asterisc> mkanyicy: :)
[23:35] <atvr> mkanyicy: XD thanks for intertain me :)
[23:35] <atvr> iceroot: and then after, wich line you want me to edit :)
[23:35] <metaspike> atvr, you can do as iceroot suggest, but i would  - sudo touch /forcefsck && reboot  - once its booted to fix the actual - cause - of the problem before proceeding
[23:35] <iceroot> atvr: the line you want to start
[23:36] <iceroot> atvr: e.g. 2.6.38
[23:36] <mkanyicy> iceroot, when atvr does the nomodeset on boot time, the / filesystem got mounted read-only
[23:36] <blackshirt> atvr: look device id with blkid -c /dev/null -o list and adjust your uuid on your fstab
[23:36] <iceroot> mkanyicy: but that is not an issue about "nomodeset"
[23:36] <mkanyicy> iceroot,  yes, we know,
[23:37] <asterisc> mkanyicy: I didn't follow his problem, so it's hard to say. Is it a booting problem (like bad partitions in grub menu), or what would be the output of /var/log/syslog or something
[23:37] <mkanyicy> iceroot, but he cannot continue with your suggestion
[23:37] <mkanyicy> iceroot, without fixing that first
[23:37] <atvr> iceroot: i dont understand what you want me to do, i have pressed the 'e' on the first line an then what you want me to do
[23:37] <metaspike> again . doesn't recovery console have write support??!! he could just boot that, touch /forcefsck && reboot . and voila!
[23:38] <mkanyicy> metaspike, im not sure, if thats the case then its easier
[23:38] <atvr> metaspike i will try that
[23:38] <mkanyicy> atvr, can you do a 'sudo touch /forcefsck' ?
[23:40] <metaspike> if theres's a problem with the filesystem, it should fsck automatically instead of mounting read only. seems kinda, counter-productive.
[23:40] <mkanyicy> metaspike, i understand, but what if the problems kick in after the fsck phase of booting
[23:41] <mkanyicy> metaspike, oh, im like answering myself
[23:41] <atvr> mkanyicy: i have done the 'sudo touch /forcefsck' it did nothing
[23:41] <mkanyicy> atvr, then it passed!~
[23:41] <metaspike> maybe the option should at least be given :) yes, an option to prevent people screaming "a fsck ate my hamster"
[23:41] <atvr> mkanyicy: whats next
[23:41] <mkanyicy> atvr, reboot
[23:42] <family_> happy new year all.
[23:43] <atvr> mkanyicy: the screen is still getting black
[23:43] <mkanyicy> atvr, yes it should
[23:43] <mkanyicy> atvr, that was to make sure that your system is fsck-ed
[23:44] <mkanyicy> atvr, and hope that that will solve the read-only part
[23:44] <mkanyicy> atvr, so you have to set the nomodeset the same way you have been doing
[23:44] <atvr> mkanyicy: it didnt, i think i will install a fresh copy of ubuntu not kubuntu 11.10 and try back
[23:45] <atvr> mkanyicy: oh i didnt put back the nomodeset
[23:45] <bandit22> using ubuntu 10.04 does anybody know if upgrading firefox has any advantage?
[23:45] <Guest48392> ..
[23:46] <asterisc> bandit22: what version of firefox do you have installed?
[23:46] <JasonGriffee> i'm trying to share my wireless connection with a coupter via ethernet, keeps swaping "connected/disconnected", why?
[23:47] <atvr> mkanyicy: ok now i have a stopping automatic crash report generation fail
[23:47] <metaspike> atvr, your running 11?
[23:48] <atvr> metaspike yes i am
[23:48] <metaspike> its unreliable, and unforgiving to beginners
[23:48] <metaspike> if you want to use ubuntu, i reccomend 10.04
[23:49] <bandit22> 3.6 something
[23:50] <metaspike> or expect alligators and dragons everytime you do something even remotely abnormal
[23:50] <atvr> metaspike okay, but i have a 1month old laptop and a more older version (i think it will cause me more issue)
[23:50] <asterisc> bandit22: I'd recommend you to upgrade firefox. I have 8.0 in ubuntu 11.10, and it's much faster, much ligher, and safer too. It's always a good idea to upgrade, unless you have a really good reason not to
[23:51] <bandit22> no reason not to except updates don't come in 10.04
[23:51] <metaspike> dare to be stupid
[23:52] <iceroot> !info firefox lucid
[23:52] <atvr> im out for today, thanks for helping me ppl, but it gave me a headache so see you tomorrow
[23:53] <asterisc> bandit22: if you are staying with LTS, probably it's a good idea to wait for 12.04, and then have a distro upgrade :)
[23:53] <metaspike> bandit22, nobody with a clue ever said that you cant update LTS releases
[23:54] <treesome> i got an ipod classic and i want to transfer some videos (avi), but BANSHEE doesn't have the right decoder/encoder ( i don't really know). Can somebody help me please?
[23:54] <JasonGriffee> i'm trying to share my wireless connection with a coupter via ethernet, keeps swaping "connected/disconnected", why?
[23:54] <bandit22> thought i might wait but have been having a lot of random crashes lately for unknown reasons
[23:54] <Ice_Phantom> QUESTION:  Need some help.  I installed a network printer (HP) and I am trying to print a document from my Ubuntu operating system. Is this possible?
[23:54] <metaspike> treesome, I suggest smplayer or vlc
[23:54] <treesome> vlc for transfering?
[23:54] <metaspike> treesome, ah. gtkpod
[23:55] <metaspike> to transfer, smplayer / vlc to play
[23:55] <treesome> gtkpod doesnt support my ipod ;--)
[23:56] <metaspike> Ice_Phantom, cups
[23:56] <Ice_Phantom> cups?
[23:56] <metaspike> !cups
[23:56] <metaspike> !ipod

[23:57] <Ice_Phantom> Thanks ubottu
[23:57] <vagothcpp> is it possible to use apt to install the same package for both i386 and amd64 versions?
[23:57] <metaspike> !iphone

[23:58] <JasonGriffee> i'm trying to share my wireless connection with a coupter via ethernet, keeps swaping "connected/disconnected", why?
[23:58] <slipknot> metaspike: you have the same problem
[23:59] <metaspike> no, slipknot read the ipod factoid.... apparently the solutions are the same. you could probably mount manually in terminal.. sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /media/ipod - or some such
