[00:00] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[00:00] <LadyGorey> Lemme check
[00:00] <fellayaboy> how do i completely remove all forms of logs on ubuntu
[00:00] <fellayaboy> hwo do i stop my machine from keeping logs
[00:01] <hydrox24> fellayaboy: why is that an issue?
[00:01] <LadyGorey> I don't use Ubuntu often so I'm not sure where to access it, give me a second
[00:01] <hydrox24> sure
[00:01] <LadyGorey> I'm good with Windows and Mac but Ubuntu is kind of new to me
[00:01] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: that's fine
[00:01] <mouseover> How can I pipe netcat's input from the command line itself? For example, netcat -q -1 localhost 5000 < "some text here"
[00:02] <Titomen> OerHeks: i have 253 uodates which give me the same error...do i have to do this one by one?
[00:02] <fellayaboy> can someone tell me how i can stop my pc from logging
[00:03] <LadyGorey> hydrox, 11.10
[00:03] <hydrox24> ok cool
[00:03] <hydrox24> try opening "gparted"
[00:04] <LadyGorey> in Terminal?
[00:04] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: This isn't the most elegant solution but it will work.
[00:04] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: no, anyway you want
[00:04] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: should be under system applications
[00:04] <LadyGorey> Oh, okay gimme asec
[00:05] <fellayaboy> is there any simple way ..a switch on ubuntu to stop logging?
[00:05] <LadyGorey> This is super confusing, sorry I as a dolt
[00:05] <Titomen> OerHeks: look the error i am getting: http://pastebin.com/d3tWNT0W
[00:05] <LadyGorey> I appear*
[00:06] <hydrox24> fellayaboy: no, logging is pretty integral to the system (ot most of it is), you'll have to turn off most logs manually
[00:06] <fellayaboy> it takes up too much processing, hard drive space and resources..totally useless to a home pc who doesnt troubleshoot an inch
[00:07] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: not sure why you'd want to - but "sudo service rsyslog stop" would temporarily stop a lot of logs from being created.  (not a good idea in my opinion)
[00:07] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: type gparted into the dashboard
[00:07] <LadyGorey> Oh ok
[00:07] <fellayaboy> thanks zykotick9
[00:07] <hydrox24> fellayaboy: I suggest against doing that, normally logs are very effficient and usse little memory.
[00:07] <LadyGorey> That did nothing
[00:07] <hydrox24> oh.
[00:07] <hydrox24> sorry, I am trying to find the simplest way to do this
[00:08] <fellayaboy> yeah i truly dont care, its not the end of the world if i mess up the OS...ill just reinstall and deal with it
[00:08] <hydrox24> fellayaboy: go ahead then!
[00:08] <bonhoffer> any idea how i can see how ubuntu starts mongodb on startup?
[00:08] <pnorman> What program could I use to convert .wav files to MP3s on the command line?
[00:08] <bonhoffer> i don't remember how i set it up
[00:08] <ubluntu> pnorman: lame ?
[00:08] <LadyGorey> It's okay. I tried to change the journaling setting through the Mac and I was afraid I was going to erase everything on the HD
[00:08]  * benuphoenix hates splits
[00:09] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: ok, so do you still need help?
[00:09] <LadyGorey> Yes.
[00:09] <benuphoenix> I have 3 drives: 2*320gb and 1*2tb. should i create: 2-volume 320GB RAID-1, 3-volume 320GB RAID-1 (using 320GB of the 2TB drive as well), or a 640GB-ish RAID-5 (using 320GB of the 2TB drive as well)?
[00:09] <fellayaboy> what other ones i could tumble down..such as logging of usb devices, internet, firewall...i know what ur thinking..im trying to hack or something but no..im trying to do this to my own system
[00:09] <hydrox24> LadyGorey: can you open a private msg with me? (/msg hydrox24 blahblahablah)
[00:10] <LadyGorey> Sure
[00:10] <ubluntu>  benuphoenix raid 0 or 1
[00:10] <ubluntu> 2*320gb
[00:10] <ubluntu> keep 2tb for storage / backups
[00:11] <fellayaboy> zykotick9, what other logging services are running that i could stop
[00:11] <mdel_> anyone know how to specify which shell you want when sshing in?
[00:11] <bonhoffer> i'm not sure where ubuntu puts startup programs
[00:11] <benuphoenix> ubluntu: thanks
[00:11] <mdel_> i have byobu installed and its effed up
[00:11] <mdel_> keeps launching itself
[00:11] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: sorry, i don't know of any.  Good luck.
[00:11] <fellayaboy> thank u
[00:12] <hydrox24> fellayaboy: good luck!
[00:12] <fellayaboy> thanks
[00:12] <ubluntu> lol.
[00:13] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: FYI that "service rsyslog stop" will be restarted on reboot, you'd need to disable it permanently using a different method
[00:13] <fellayaboy> i put it on my startup application
[00:13] <fellayaboy> idk if its effective
[00:14] <RichiH> is there a way to get the Supported: field of all packages in a release?

[00:22] <Doodie> hi, I am connected to my server laptop through ssh. I want to change password that I need to login to that server. How?
[00:23] <Myrtti> passwd?
[00:23] <pehden> zykotick9    im on xchat and that was disabled before an update. fixed now.
[00:23] <Doodie> Myrtti, tried that but it says I am not the sudoer
[00:24] <Myrtti> you can change your own password with it, don't need sudo for that...
[00:24] <Doodie> Myrtti, I get this on passwd myUserName -> "passwd: Only root can specify a user name."
[00:25] <zykotick9> Doodie: just "passwd" that's it.
[00:25] <Myrtti> Doodie: don't give it the username then
[00:25] <Doodie> working, thanks to both of you

[01:34] <n2diy> TheLifelessOne, I'd like to know that answer too!

[01:34] <TheLifelessOne> Bah, not the same.
[01:34] <TheLifelessOne> !classic
[01:34] <TheLifelessOne> And Ubuntu Classic is terrible!
[01:36] <n2diy> TheLifelessOne, agree, I bailed on Ub 11.10, and went back to Xubuntu 10.10, now upgraded to Xu 11.04.
[01:37] <TheLifelessOne> I would use Xubuntu, but I really like GNOME.
[01:38] <n2diy> I've lost sound, I checked that nothing is muted, and the speakers work on my test box. My user.log show pulse audio calling and alsa module, which fails because it can't find  a profile.
[01:39] <LABcrab> Hey everyone!  Ubuntu bugs out when i try to copy a file of almost 8 GB to USB.  It says the file is too large, even though the USB has lots of room!  Can someone help, please?
[01:41] <go8765> hello. can anybody help me please to install cuberok. this is log http://paste.ubuntu.com/808087/
[01:41] <xangua> LABcrab: does your stick use fat┬┐
[01:41] <TheLifelessOne> LABcrab: Jesus Christ, how the hell do you have a ~8GB file?
[01:41] <lucho> #ubuntu.ar
[01:41] <LABcrab> xangua: i don't know if my stick is FAT.  Is that why it bugs out?
[01:41] <lucho> /j #ubuntu-ar
[01:41] <xangua> LABcrab: The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GB minus 1 byte or 4294967295 (232ŌłÆ1) bytes - wikipedia
[01:41] <LABcrab> TheLifelessOne: tsk tsk, it's a VirtualBox image.  :|
[01:42] <TheLifelessOne> LABcrab: Ah, I see. Still, damn that's huge
[01:42] <LABcrab> That's Vista.  Lucky it fits under 10 GB, i think 64 bit takes twice as much.
[01:43] <LABcrab> MS won't support XP anymore for IE, SDKs and other things.
[01:43] <TheLifelessOne> Yeah, which sucks because a lot of people (such as myself) still run XP systems...
[01:43] <LABcrab> i'd have preferred XP, but MS is quick to dismiss the OS.
[01:44] <TheLifelessOne> Indeed.
[01:44] <TheLifelessOne> I'd upgrade this box to seven if I had the extra cash + hardware lying around.
[01:44] <LABcrab> But anyway, what does FAT have a problem with big files?
[01:44] <LABcrab>  *why
[01:44] <TheLifelessOne> it's just the way it was designed.
[01:45] <TheLifelessOne> I believe that's why the NTFS filesystems was designed. Well, part of the reason, at least.
[01:45] <LABcrab> TheLifelessOne: specs not an issue, i have triple core, but it's just that XP is on its way out.  Although i'll set it up on netbooks and "just word processing and Internet" machines.
[01:46] <LABcrab> So format the USB using ext4?
[01:46] <TheLifelessOne> That would probably work.
[01:46] <TheLifelessOne> but then again, I'm not an expert of filesystems.
[01:47] <LABcrab> Well, i'll give it a try.  Now for a couple of more questions: 1. what is a good Digital TV tuner and 2. what channel talks about over the air TV?
[01:49] <n2diy> I've lost sound, I checked that nothing is muted, and the speakers work on my test box. My user.log show pulse audio calling and alsa module, which fails because it can't find  a profile.
[01:49] <LABcrab> MS-DOS file system.  No crap Sherlock.

[01:50] <bonhoffer> is there an easy way to get a file path from a nautilus window?
[01:50] <LABcrab> bonhoffer: Ctrl+L?

[01:50] <bonhoffer> excellent?

[02:02] <bonhoffer> how do i uninstall: /usr/local/bin/mongo

[02:02] <FuZi0N> rm mongo
[02:05] <aruncn1> Hi, I have installed 32 bit ubuntu on my 64 bit processor. When i try to install additional packages, the error is "not available in current data". Any ideas guys?
[02:06] <atomicspin_> So, I setup a 2nd partition for my /home directory and installed everything.
[02:06] <atomicspin_> Except I forgot to tell Ubuntu that my 2nd partition was for /home
[02:06] <atomicspin_> Is there a way to do it after the fact?
[02:07] <bonhoffer> seriously -- just rm the installed directory
[02:07] <aruncn1> Guys.. any help is appreciated :)
[02:07] <bonhoffer> how do i get a list of all packages installed that i can grep
[02:07] <plum> hey all
[02:08] <aruncn1> bonhoffer: dpkg -l
[02:08] <plum> what are some good transparent themes for ubuntu unity?
[02:08] <psusi> atomicspin_, sure... reboot into recovery mode, mount the other partition somewhere, move all files from /home there, then edit /etc/fstab so the other partition gets mounted in /home, and reboot
[02:09] <atomicspin_> psusi:  Thank you!
[02:09] <bonhoffer> aruncn1, thanks!
[02:12] <n2diy> I've lost sound, I checked that nothing is muted, and the speakers work on my test box. My user.log show pulse audio calling an alsa module, which fails because it can't find  a profile.
[02:15] <plum> is there a way to enable transparency?
[02:15] <atomicspin_> psusi:  I don't see where.  Here's that file:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/808103/
[02:16] <psusi> atomicspin_, you need to add a new line for /home
[02:16] <atomicspin_> Gotcha.

[02:16] <LinuX2half> Why whenever I insert a VCD, totem player says that I need permission to open the file?

[02:18] <LABcrab> Yes, it will be released for ARM in Game Boy Advance and for PowerPC G3.

[02:23] <Darrow_> Hello? Does anyone know how to fix weird, snowcrash-like screens appearing while booting off of live cd or drive?
[02:24] <n2diy> chrisv33, how are you viewing top, in a terminal with "top" command?
[02:24] <chrisv33> yes
[02:25] <chrisv33> I was just looking at stupid pictures on imgur when the error occured, and it took me to the normal login screen after that
[02:25] <n2diy> I'm baffled, I don't know how a box could function with out root processes?
[02:26] <chrisv33> I can see root processes in top it's just not being listed as a user
[02:26] <chrisv33> I did a restart before I came here
[02:26] <LABcrab> Tired.
[02:27] <n2diy> chrisv33, oh, ok, so you and root are using processes, but top only reports one user? Strange, don't know that either.
[02:28] <chrisv33> yeah, exactly.  Like I was looking at a photo, screen goes black with text saying pulseaudio isn't logging something ( it was gone too fast for me to read it)
[02:28] <chrisv33> and then the normal log in screen
[02:28] <jonathon_> Hello Friends
[02:29] <jonathon_> I have a couple of questions, First, In Terminal, How do I change to a directy that has a space in it?
[02:29] <Darrow_> Hello? Could someone please help me? I'm new to IRC, and I'm not even sure if I'm doing this right...
[02:29] <Gentoo64> jonathon_: use quotes is easiest
[02:29] <hydrox24> jonathon_: use a backslash before the space
[02:29] <Gentoo64> jonathon_: you can use \ too
[02:29] <hydrox24> jonathon_: both work well
[02:29] <acerimmer> jonathon: cd 'this directory'
[02:29] <hydrox24> jonathon_: cd this\ directory
[02:30] <hydrox24> next Q?
[02:30] <jonathon_> Alright, And how do I remove A bulk of files that are in seperate directories, Like let's say I have ten PDF's spread across ten folders?
[02:31] <hydrox24> find -type f -name *.pdf -exec rm {} \;
[02:31] <hydrox24> that will:
[02:31] <hydrox24> find (files, not dirs
[02:31] <hydrox24> then look for anything ending with .pdf
[02:31] <hydrox24> and then use the rm command on all matching files
[02:32] <jonathon_> And will that command only remove files that are in the folder I am currently in?
[02:32] <hydrox24> it's recursive
[02:32] <hydrox24> so to see the results of the search without deleting:
[02:32] <hydrox24> find -type f -name *.pdf
[02:33] <hydrox24> will search for all pdf files in the current directory and in directories in the current dir and so on
[02:33] <jonathon_> Ok good, that worked, But then How do I make it delete all those?
[02:33] <hydrox24> find -type f -name *.pdf -exec rm {} \;
[02:33] <hydrox24> that will then execute the "rm" command on all the files that result from the search
[02:34] <hydrox24> be careful
[02:34] <Darrow_> Hello? Could someone please help me? Ubuntu won't boot, just show a colorful screen.
[02:34] <hydrox24> rm is permanent
[02:34] <acerimmer> Darrow_: version?
[02:34] <jonathon_> Permanent is fine
[02:34] <hydrox24> ok

[02:34] <Gentoo64> rm -i is worth aliasing
[02:34] <Gentoo64> :)
[02:34] <jonathon_> I got this error find: paths must precede expression: exec
[02:35] <hydrox24> jonathon_: that's an annoying one, hold on
[02:35] <jonathon_> k thanks
[02:35] <nibbl0r> Hi, I'm using ubuntu 11.10 and wanted to test the "convirt" package, installed it by "apt-get install convirt" but at the end convirt gives out a big error: http://pastebin.com/KnhF8zzC   - I believe the problem is, it's searching in /opt/... but there is no such folder
[02:35] <corey_> hello
[02:36] <Guest62356> hi im using mint 10 what version of mint is better mint 10 or 12?
[02:36] <Darrow_> 11.10 I've tried booting off of both a live drive and a cd. Always switching to a weird screen on startup.
[02:37] <bazhang> Guest62356, try a mint support channel

[02:39] <hydrox24> jonathon_: sorry
[02:39] <jonathon_> ?
[02:39] <hydrox24> jonathon_: use it with quotes like this:
[02:39] <hydrox24> find -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec rm {} \;
[02:40] <matttech> hello?
[02:40] <jonathon_> hydrox24, Still getting the same error
[02:40] <Darrow_> acerimmer: 11.10 I've tried booting off of both a live drive and a cd. Always switching to a weird screen on startup.
[02:40] <hydrox24> really?
[02:40] <acerimmer> Darrow_: and your hardware??
[02:41] <jonathon_> I tried both single and double quotes too
[02:41] <hydrox24> jonathon_: try this one
[02:41] <hydrox24> find . -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec rm {} \;
[02:41] <hydrox24> my mistake man
[02:41] <hydrox24> jonathon_: worked?
[02:42] <jonathon_> hydrox24 Yes it worked, Thank you very much
[02:42] <Darrow_> acerimmer: Intel Core 2 Quad, some Nvidea derivative, natively runs Vista. I have ran a previous version ofUbuntu on this computer before, but uninstalled it.
[02:42] <raiun> hi, anybody know how to get a background image stretch over dual monitors on 11.10?
[02:43] <PhonicUK> ~chatzilla@205.185.122.34
[02:43] <PhonicUK> thats the guy pasting crap
[02:43] <hydrox24> jonathon_: cool, glad I could help
[02:43] <acerimmer> Darrow_: nvidia might be giving you some hiccups.  Can you boot safe graphics?
[02:44] <hydrox24> acerimmer: can he try the nomodeset thing?
[02:44] <acerimmer> hydrox24: be my guest & explain it to him
[02:44] <Darrow_> acerimmer: how would I do that off of live drive?
[02:45] <acerimmer> Darrow_: hydrox24 has an idea for you.
[02:45] <raylott> I'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I installed dictionaryreader.app but the gui seems to start...and for a moment starts to appear at bottom left..but after that nothing. The command line client (dict) works fine. Does anyone have a solution?
[02:46] <kfizz> I have an integrated Intel graphics card and I'm try to find out the max resolution supported but can't find any info on it. Is there a way Ubuntu can tell the max resolution of a video card?
[02:46] <Darrow_> hydrox24: nomodeset?
[02:47] <hydrox24> Darrow_: see: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/01/ubuntumaverick-blank-screen-problem.html
[02:48] <hydrox24> Darrow_: the section on Live CD/USB environment
[02:50] <nibbl0r> anyone ever tried the "convirt" package on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[02:51] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Hoave you tried getting it through Synaptic instead of apt-get?
[02:52] <Darrow_> hydrox24: my boot menu looks different and does not respond to f6
[02:52] <murphy> Hi all
[02:54] <hydrox24> oh, sorry can't help Im assisting someone else right now
[02:54] <hydrox24> what version of ubuntu?
[02:55] <acerimmer> Darrow_: What?  did you md5 check your iso??
[02:56] <nibbl0r> jonathon_: yeah i tried that too, same result :\ it seems it does not recognize 11.10 as convirt-tool setup says: "do not know how to install dependencies for ubuntu 11.10"
[02:58] <jonathon_> Quite odd nibbl0r, You might have to wait a bit til convirt gets an update
[02:58] <jonathon_> Lemme try installing it real quick
[02:58] <Darrow_> acerimmer: no, I just followed the directions on the Ubuntu site
[02:58] <nibbl0r> thats really kind of you thank you jonathon_  :)
[02:59] <jonathon_> Not the fastest internet here, So give me a couple minutes
[02:59] <jonathon_> :P
[02:59] <acerimmer> Darrow_: the fact that you can't get F6 options suggests a corrupted download.
[03:00] <acerimmer> !checksum|Darrow
[03:00] <Ben64> My wifi speed limited to ~150K/s, anything I can do?
[03:00] <StepNjump> Hi guys, I would just like to know... I typed sudo apt-get autoremove program name... Is that ok? I saw a list of programs getting uninstalled like (Reading database ... 265586 files and directories currently installed.)
[03:00] <StepNjump> Removing caps ...
[03:00] <jonathon_> Ben64, Mine's the same :P
[03:00] <nibbl0r> sure take ur time jonathon_ ^^ thanks for trying :)
[03:00] <StepNjump> Ben64: change provider
[03:01] <Ben64> StepNjump: wifi, not internet
[03:01] <StepNjump> oh
[03:01] <StepNjump> Sometimes in the router, you can increase the transmit power.. that will speed it up
[03:01] <Ben64> nope
[03:01] <Ben64> its a problem with ubuntu
[03:02] <Ben64> i've been asking for weeks with no answer
[03:02] <StepNjump> Is autoremove the right command to uninstall an app or should have I done remove only?
[03:02] <jonathon_> Perhaps you need a different wireless driver
[03:02] <Ben64> StepNjump: remove
[03:02] <Darrow_> acerimmer: 62FB5D750C30A27A26D01C5F3D8DF459
[03:02] <StepNjump> what is autoremove Ben64
[03:02] <acerimmer> Darrow_: check that against Ubuntu's info.
[03:02] <Ben64> StepNjump: it says in apt-get man page
[03:02] <vasuki> Looking to run 10.04 in production, but need to upgrade to python2.7. Any suggestions for how to do this easily?
[03:03] <maXXer> ciao, hallo
[03:03] <vasuki> or run side-by-side
[03:03] <StepNjump> Yes I just found it Ben64 sorry
[03:03] <Darrow_> acerimmer: where do i look?
[03:03] <Ben64> StepNjump: no prob
[03:03] <acerimmer> Darrow_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/MD5SUMS
[03:04] <StepNjump> Ben64: just food for thought, try to bring your laptop close to your router and see if this will fix your slow speed issue
[03:04] <maXXer>  anyone got a chicony webcam? i need some drivers :|
[03:04] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Bout 2 minutes left of download
[03:04] <nibbl0r> yay :D
[03:04] <Ben64> StepNjump: it used to do 1MB/s till I upgraded ubuntu, its within 20' of the router
[03:05] <acerimmer> Darrow_: you said you've got an Intel box but the check sum is for the AMD64 iso???
[03:05] <StepNjump> mmm from what version to what version Ben64
[03:05] <Darrow_> acerimmer: match
[03:05] <Ben64> 10.04 to latest
[03:05] <acerimmer> Darrow_: but your computer is Intel???
[03:05] <StepNjump> Ben64: .... I keep being told its not good to upgrade.. it's not up to par.. I dont know if that is your issue but
[03:06] <dritchie> is there a console based ubuntu distro? One with cli by default?
[03:06] <StepNjump> Have you tried a download from the TTY Ben64
[03:06] <acerimmer> dritchie: ubuntu server
[03:06] <Ben64> StepNjump: yeah nothing goes over 150K
[03:06] <StepNjump> mmm weird.. Well, nothing is weird when we upgrade I guess...
[03:06] <Ben64> in iwconfig I get this though.....
[03:06] <Ben64>           Tx excessive retries:10  Invalid misc:121949   Missed beacon:0
[03:06] <Ben64> "Invalid misc" seems bad?
[03:07] <StepNjump> My suggestion is, try to run your Ubuntu 11.10 off a live USB and see what happens
[03:07] <dritchie> is it a LTR? or rolling release like Arch?
[03:07] <StepNjump> if it dowloads fast, then you know you have corruption somewhat in your distro Ben64
[03:07] <acerimmer> dritchie: 10.04 is LTS 36 months.  12.04 will be 60 months LTS
[03:07] <StepNjump> you might be using the wrong driver Ben64
[03:08] <dritchie> thanks ace
[03:08] <acerimmer> dritchie: da nada
[03:08] <irfan> hello everybody
[03:08] <Darrow_> acerimmer: the site said 64 bit, not specifying proccessor type, so i thought it didn;t matter >_<. Both the 32bit (labeled i386) and 64 bit live cds give the same result however, though I have not tried a livedrive of the 32 bit iso
[03:08] <irfan> how can i get my IP address by using Ubuntu terminal ?
[03:08] <Ben64> irfan: which ip address? internal or external?
[03:08] <acerimmer> Darrow_: long story short - it matters.  For your box, I'd got with 32 bit INTEL iso.
[03:09] <irfan> internet
[03:09] <brightspark> Maverick reaches end of life this April, yes?
[03:09] <Ben64> irfan: theres not a really reliable way to do that with one computer
[03:10] <irfan> i wanna know my computer's IP address
[03:10]  * WebDawg http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sopa-strike/
[03:10] <brightspark> irfan: ifconfig should show you all your interfaces' ip addresses
[03:10] <Ben64> brightspark: those are internal though
[03:10] <irfan> i tried it
[03:10] <acerimmer> irfan: https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=what%27s%20my%20ip&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whatismyip.com%2F&ei=IDgWT9aEJcqjiALCjbH2Dw&usg=AFQjCNGY_VKpSTObxuE1bTe9aqWoRtjHGw&cad=rja
[03:10] <acerimmer> sorry
[03:10] <acerimmer> https://www.whatismyip.com/
[03:10] <Ben64> irfan: do "lynx" and go to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com
[03:11] <irfan> got it
[03:11] <irfan> thnx
[03:11] <Ben64> or if you have a server you can use that to return an ip address of a request
[03:11] <jonathon_> nibbl0r?
[03:11] <OerHeks> WebDawg, stupid
[03:11] <almoxarife> maXXer: do you have 'gphoto2' installed?
[03:11] <orlok> My X session resets every tim,e i try to view a specific png file
[03:11] <irfan> how can i find any website's IP address ?
[03:11] <maXXer> mh nope almoxarife
[03:11] <orlok> doesnt matter if its via thunderbird or firefox
[03:11] <Ben64> irfan: host
[03:11] <irfan> like google's IP address
[03:12] <orlok> X dies and i get taken back to gdm
[03:12] <almoxarife> maXXer: install it, may help with webcam issue
[03:12] <maXXer> also 4 Skype, almoxarife ?
[03:13] <almoxarife> maXXer: yes
[03:13] <irfan> got it
[03:13] <irfan> hehe
[03:13] <maXXer> cuz my system don't see the cam anywere
[03:13] <maXXer> ok i try :p
[03:13] <jonathon_> Did nibbl0r die?
[03:13] <almoxarife> maXXer: reboot after install
[03:13] <nibbl0r> no jonathon_ still here :D
[03:13] <maXXer> yep
[03:13] <Darrow_> acerimmer: I'm installing the 32 bit iso onto the flash drive...
[03:14] <acerimmer> Darrow_: still need to checksum that bad boy.
[03:14] <jonathon_> Oh ok, It managed to install fine on my system, here's the installation log if you wanna compare at all, Your apt-get might by skipping a package or something http://paste.ubuntu.com/808141/
[03:15] <maXXer> but all the install/removes 4 USC fails, but after the reboot all works fine :D
[03:15] <Darrow_> acerimmer: match :D
[03:15] <nibbl0r> hm and you are runnin 11.10 jonathon_  ?
[03:15] <acerimmer> Darrow_: see how much you've already learned?  next week you'll be a buntu guru
[03:16] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Yessir
[03:16] <Darrow_> acerimmer: Haha, we'll see...
[03:16] <Joakal> Fresh user here; I can't find anything about why Alt-F2 gives command prompt and gear icons for commands, but when I click it, it clears dash? I went into System -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Says disabled for Command Prompt shortcut. I tried clearing it with backspace then pressing Alt-F2. It automatically opens Dash but same issue.
[03:17] <Joakal> Running Ubuntu64 on Virtual box btw
[03:17] <nibbl0r> Joakal: i noticed your procedure stops at ldconfig... etc... mine stops exactly after that core.py:430 error
[03:17] <nibbl0r> sorry i mean jonathon_
[03:18] <lwizardl> I am wanting to setp autorun/Autoexecute for a machine. So when I place in a Audio CD it runs RipperX and uses a preset for FLAC for each disc I place into the computer, and the for any DVD Video discs it would run handbrake and the preset I have for deafult
[03:18] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Perhaps try removeing and reinstalling python?
[03:18] <oscar76> irfan: how did you get it? I was thinking of netstat -tn
[03:19] <irfan> heheheh
[03:19] <nibbl0r> jonathon_: a apt-get autoremove convirt should remove python as well right?
[03:19] <irfan> i tried to ping
[03:19] <irfan> and saw ip there
[03:19] <Vaela> yeah
[03:19] <jonathon_> Not sure, I would just remove both convirt AND Python
[03:19] <nibbl0r> okies
[03:19] <Joakal> Second question; how do I modify unity? I looked in System, right-click shows nothing, am I missing something? A lot of tutorials seem to be for oneiric beta but there's different bugs.
[03:20] <gluegun> hello every one!
[03:20] <skpl> hello gluegun
[03:20] <jonathon_> Hello, gluegun
[03:20] <irfan> well netstat -tn working fine :)
[03:20] <irfan> thnx
[03:21] <jonathon_> Don't make a mess in here with the glue :P
[03:21] <gluegun> hello skpl and jonathon_ :)
[03:21] <skpl> :)
[03:21] <gluegun> don't worry jonathon_ not a drop will stick to you ha,ha...
[03:22] <jonathon_> lol
[03:22] <Darrow_> acerimmer: same exact result. I get the same black boot menu, I manage to get up to the strobing orange/white dots below "Ubuntu" and then soon it goes all weird and colorful.
[03:22] <nibbl0r> jonathon_: 32 or 64 bit of 11.10?
[03:23] <jonathon_> I'm runnin 64
[03:23] <nibbl0r> hm
[03:23] <nibbl0r> me too
[03:23] <moes> Need command to completely remove K3b..It is corrupt..Using Ubuntu 10.04
[03:23] <acerimmer> Darrow_: I gotta suspect the nvidia drivers.
[03:23] <gluegun> btw, i'd like to ask *anyone* knowledgeable about storage. i mean, which is better: case 1: many physical volumes in 1 volume group and 1 giant logical volume or case2: 1 physical volume in 1 volume group and many logical volumes?
[03:23] <oscar76> irfan: yeah, ping works too
[03:24] <gluegun> and why? ha,ha... sorry.
[03:25] <jonathon_> gluegun, what exactly are you getting at here? You're asking if RAID or A drive with a bunch of partitions is better...
[03:25] <oscar76> moes: can't you remove it from Synaptic?
[03:25] <acerimmer> Darrow_: see this:   http://blog.js-development.com/2012/01/help-ubuntu-1110-wont-boot.html
[03:27] <moes> oscar76, Yes...But will it completely remove it
[03:27] <coolstar-pc> What's a good VPN server for Ubuntu 11.10 that I can use with an iPhone client, and on the server side, I want to use it with dnsmasq
[03:27] <almoxarife> moes: running kubuntu?
[03:27] <Darrow_> acerimmer: Is it all right that I installed the 32bit iso over the same drive without formatting it first?
[03:28] <moes> almoxarife, Ubuntu 10.04 with K3b installed from synaptic
[03:28] <acerimmer> Darrow_: shouldn't matter but format/reinstall to be safe...
[03:28] <gluegun> jonathan_: RAID is taken care of. i'm using hardware raid (24drives, 2TB each on RAID6). i'm just confused how to manage them. the computer RAID bios presents me with 1 giant 40Tb unformatted disk. i'm thinking if i'll partition it in many physical volume or 1 physical volume.
[03:28] <gluegun> jonathan_: i'll be using 10.04LTS.
[03:28] <coolstar-pc> What's a good VPN server for Ubuntu 11.10 that I can use with dnsmasq
[03:28] <coolstar-pc> !search vpn
[03:28] <almoxarife> moes: using synaptic 'completely remove' k3b
[03:28] <oscar76> moes: in Synaptic try right click, and Mark to remove completely
[03:29] <almoxarife> moes: what oscar76 said
[03:29] <coolstar-pc> Does anyone here know a good VPN server that I can use with dnsmasq?
[03:29] <jonathon_> gluegun, Ahh ok, Well I guess that really depends on what you're using it for, I think it's more personal choice at this point, Also I'm jealous, I only have 300gigs D:
[03:29] <moes> almoxarife, Oscar76..Thanks
[03:29]  * coolstar-pc thinks he must have repeated his question at least 3 times by now
[03:30] <gluegun> jonathon_: don't be jealous. it's not mine. it's company property ha,ha..
[03:30] <acerimmer> !patience|coolstar-pc
[03:30] <jonathon_> gluegun, Ahh ok
[03:30] <oscar76> moes: you're welcome:)
[03:30] <jonathon_> gluegun, I guess you should read up also on the filesystem you'll be using, Make sure it does support that much storage, If so, Then it's just whatever you decide then
[03:31] <gluegun> jonathon_: one thing i'm considering is if i arrive with a single 40Tb XFS or ext4 filesystem is running out of inodes. :(
[03:32] <jonathon_> true, gluegun, Perhaps you should make it partitioned just in case. Possibly to 5 terra's each
[03:33] <jonathon_> But then again, Is the company gonna be storing millions of little files or just a bundle of huge files?
[03:33] <gluegun> jonathon_: can not say. maybe both.
[03:34] <jonathon_> Better go with multiple volumes then, just to be safe
[03:34] <Joakal> Fresh user here; I can't find anything about why Alt-F2 gives command prompt and gear icons for commands, but when I click it, it clears dash? I went into System -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Says disabled for Command Prompt shortcut. I tried clearing it with backspace then pressing Alt-F2. It automatically opens Dash but same issue.
[03:34] <Joakal> Running Ubuntu64 on Virtual box btw
[03:35] <gluegun> jonathon_: initially, i'm thinking of partitioning that  40TB unformatted drive presented by arrays into 40 partitions of 1tb each and make each partition a physical volume. then i'll create 4 volume groups with 10 physical volumes each and create 1 10tb logical volume per 4 volume group.
[03:36] <Darrow_> acerimmer: http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8441/imag0496u.jpg this is what my boot screen looks like
[03:37] <gluegun> jonathon_: but i'm not confident because i don't know LVM much. i may be overlooking something that i may regret in the end. so now i'm thinking of creating 1 40tb partition and make it a physical volume, create 1 volume group for that and create many logical volumes.
[03:37] <jonathon_> gluegun, Sounds like a good way to go
[03:37] <jonathon_> oh
[03:37] <gluegun> jonathon_: and now i'm confused which way to go. ha,ha.. sorry man.
[03:38] <hydrox24> I used physical until I ran out and then I used logicals.
[03:38] <hydrox24> gluegun: there's isnt much diff
[03:39] <acerimmer> Darrow_: did you try the nomodeset during boot of the live iso?
[03:39] <jonathon_> gluegun, It shouldn't really be too confusing to do the first option, Just makesure you double check the man to make sure you know how it goes, and you should be fine
[03:39] <gluegun> hydrox24: maybe you're talking about primary vs logical partitions? i believe there's a big difference between physical volume vs logical volume. :)
[03:39] <Yozap> Hey I have an Asus EEE 1005 PC, with Ubuntu 10.04 64bits (amd) and I tried Xbacklight, to fix my brightness on the screen, but it wont work, and updating bios wont work. Any idea how to fix it?
[03:39] <gluegun> jonathon_: hmn... that's interesting. thanks man.
[03:40] <jonathon_> gluegun, No problem
[03:40] <datruth_> How can I get rid of the Mac like theme in gnome I just installed gnome-shell andx selected gnome for the login interface
[03:41] <gluegun> hydrox24, btw, primary vs logical partition is (i believe) an issue only on msdos partition table. if you're using GPT, you can have many primary partitions as you like. yes more than 4. :)
[03:41] <jonathon_> datruth, Use KDE :P, Otherwise, Not my department lol

[03:42] <jonathon_> datruth, Yea
[03:42]  * gluegun likes his microsoft keyboard with passion. ;)
[03:42]  * datruth_ debates on installing kde
[03:42] <datruth_> jonathon_: just sudo apt-get install kde4 kdm?

[03:45] <Darrow_> acerimmer: f6 doesn't do anything at the screen i snapped and "pressing down multiple times" after that just turns the text on and off
[03:45] <datruth_> once kde is installed how do I remove all of gnome?
[03:45] <glioros> guys i need to grep eoeooe.php what is the command to do so ?
[03:45] <jonathon_> datruth, It's diffcult since gnome has alot of stuff with it, So You might want to just leave it
[03:46] <jonathon_> datruth, Besides, It doesn't take up that much space anyways
[03:46] <almoxarife> datruth_: its simple enough, ask in #kubuntu
[03:46] <datruth_> jonathon_: how much space does it normally take up?
[03:46] <datruth_> ahh gotxha
[03:46] <datruth_> thx
[03:46] <atruno> is my ubuntu going to screw up when it normally shouldn't ?   first there were tainted packages.  now all this through your mirrors ?
[03:46] <jonathon_> That works
[03:46] <jonathon_> :P
[03:46] <Lalaith_> i am a new ubuntu user, and need some help with some basics...am i in the right place?
[03:46] <qqqq> no
[03:46] <jonathon_> Lalaith, Indeed you are
[03:47] <Lalaith_> thanks, jonathon
[03:47] <acerimmer> Darrow_: you invoked f6 from THIS SCREEN??  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Boot-Options.png
[03:47] <Lalaith_> i am trying to install VLC, i have ubuntu 10.10
[03:47] <glioros> how can i grep ?
[03:48] <Lalaith_> i am in over my head. my husband gave me this computer, and i'm just a noob really
[03:48] <gluegun> hi Lalaith_, click "Applications" then look down on Ubuntu Software Center. then search for VLC.
[03:48] <qqqq> DICKS IN MY AS
[03:48] <Athenon> knowing that my ubuntu server is using too much outgoing bandwidth, how can i tie bandwidth usage to servers (ie, 247kbps for IRC, 457kbps FTP, etc etc etc)?
[03:49] <oscar76> Lalaith: just go to Synaptic and quick search vlc
[03:49] <Lalaith_> gluegun, thank you!
[03:49] <gluegun> Lalaith_: you are welcome. :)
[03:50] <Darrow_> acerimmer: that screen never appears.
[03:51] <Darrow_> only the similar screen i snapped
[03:51] <Darrow_> acerimmer: only the similar screen i snapped
[03:51]  * gluegun hopes there's a school that offers a degree in system administration.
[03:52] <jonathon_> gluegun, There's a school for everything
[03:52] <LinuX2half> How could I tell Totem Movie Player to play a VCD?
[03:52] <jonathon_> gluegun, But yea, there is, Your local college should have some classes you need
[03:53] <glioros> how can i grep ?
[03:53] <ubluntu> grep what?
[03:53] <Lalaith_> ok, next question *sheepish*   i am trying to open an mp3, and want to do that with VLC
[03:53] <nibbl0r> hey jonathon_ , sorry to annoy you again... I just completely removed ubuntu and reinstalled it... after install was done, first thing i did was "apt-get install convirt" everything went fine... but on a convirt-ctl start it gives the same error :\
[03:53] <acerimmer> Darrow_: Ok, I guess the boot options are limited when working from a USB live session?  Can you boot a live CDROM?
[03:53] <gluegun> jonathon_: i mean, i hope there's a degree program aimed at it. sort of like "bachelor of science in computer systems administration" ha,ha..
[03:54] <Lalaith_> dl'ing it from a trusted website and just want to open it and see if it's the one i think it is
[03:54] <jonathon_> gluegun, I believe there's something like that, yes
[03:54] <jonathon_> lalaith, search synaptic for Ubuntu Restricted Extras
[03:54] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, That is an odd one
[03:55] <nibbl0r> convirt-ctl start works for you ?
[03:55] <gluegun> glioros,  open a terminal and type "grep". btw, the syntax is grep [OPTIONS if any] [-e PATTERN | -f FILE] [FILE...]
[03:55] <raiun> hi, anybody know how to get a background image stretch over dual monitors on 11.10?
[03:55] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Let me check
[03:55] <glioros> gluegun: i want to grep everywhere for the fofofoof.php files
[03:56] <glioros> what is the command for this ?
[03:56] <glioros> everywhere in my httpdocs folder
[03:56] <somsip> glioros: sudo find /httpdocs -name fofofoof.php
[03:56] <gluegun> glioros: you may want to use the "find" utility.
[03:57] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Actually I got this error, Similar to yours?
[03:57] <jonathon_> PID file is /var/run/convirt/paster.pid
[03:57] <jonathon_> No virtualenv found, will try to use TG2 installed in the system
[03:57] <jonathon_> Log file: /var/log/convirt/paster.log
[03:57] <jonathon_> grep: /opt/convirt/src/convirt/web/convirt/development.ini: No such file or directory has no value.
[03:57] <jonathon_> /home/jonathon/.ssh/id_rsa does not exist. Setting it to /home/jonathon/.ssh/id_rsa.
[03:57] <jonathon_> /home/jonathon/.ssh/id_rsa not found, Key based Authentication will not be used.
[03:57] <FloodBot1> jonathon_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:57] <jonathon_> Starting ConVirt using virtualenv :
[03:57] <gluegun> glioros, generally, if you want to find files, you use "find" or "search" in nautilus. if you want to find a word or pattern in a file, you use grep.
[03:57] <glioros> gluegun: i entered that command and find: `/httpdocs': No such file or directory
[03:58] <coolstar-pc> Is it possible to configure an openvpn server to use a custom dns server?
[03:58] <somsip> glioros: you need to state the real path to your httpdocs dir. You gave that dir as an example
[03:58] <glioros> gluegun: yes i need to use grep. please tell me the command to use grep
[03:58] <sammy> so lets say someone has a repository set up for their app. and all the directories are in the right place, except there's no master directory called 'dists'. can I get apt to look in an absolute path rather than taking the path in my sources.list deb line and adding 'dists' do the end?
[03:58] <nibbl0r> yeah jonathon_  totally the same one then
[03:58] <nibbl0r> so not an issue with me i see ^^
[03:59] <gluegun> glioros, is httpdocs a file or a directory?
[03:59] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Lemme check out that log and see what is up, brb
[03:59] <glioros> gluegun: directory
[03:59] <nibbl0r> its checking for a file "develeopment.ini" in a completely wrong folder i think
[04:00] <gluegun> glioros, and the fofofoof.php are files inside that directory?
[04:00] <glioros> gluegun: it is a file i need to see to exist. i need to grep even all the php files to see if it is listed in
[04:00] <glioros> if it is exist
[04:00] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, It may not be the wrong folder, You might have to run some kind of configuration for convirt first, lemme poke around a bit, see what I find
[04:02] <nibbl0r> yeah the setup should be run like convirt-tool setup i believe but that gives out other errors ^^
[04:02] <gluegun> glioros, find /httpdocs -name 'fofofoof.php' may work.
[04:03] <nibbl0r> Do not know how to install dependencies for Ubuntu 11.10 platform. :\
[04:04] <glioros> gluegun: it is not working ;(
[04:04] <glioros> bash -name command not found
[04:04] <Darrow_> acerimmer: tried my 32bit live cd using  nomodeset, and it WORKS (so far). THANK YOU
[04:04] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, You could try, If you know how, To go here, http://freecode.com/projects/convirt, And get an older convirt, Like either 2.0.0 or 1.1 and compile them yourself.
[04:05] <acerimmer> Darrow_: pay it forward, amigo.
[04:05] <Micah> Hey, I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my HP PC that already had Windows 7 Home Premium on it.  Now I have access to Ubuntu, but I can no longer get into windows.  I like Ubuntu, but I need to have access to Windows for school.
[04:06] <jonathon_> Micah, Try sudo update-grub
[04:06] <jonathon_> Micah, It should list windows being added, If not, You might've removed windows\
[04:06] <Micah> Just type that into Terminal?
[04:06] <jonathon_> Yes
[04:06] <gluegun> glioros, are you sure? try --> find /httpdocs -name  'fofofoof.*'
[04:06] <borillion> Is there anyway I can figure out whats almost maxing my processor?
[04:07] <Micah> Alright, just a second.....
[04:07] <jonathon_> borillion Task Manager?
[04:07] <jonathon_> Micah, Ok. If you can, /msg me the results
[04:07] <borillion> Im using top but Im not sure what Im looking at exactly tho
[04:07] <jonathon_> borillion, Take a screenie, post, and link it here, I can take a look if ya want
[04:08] <osmosis> curious...do power users usually use aptitude? or is apt-get or aptitude just a style preference?
[04:08] <nibbl0r> jonathon_: any idea where i could get 2.0 or 1.1 from ? i cant seem to find a dl link on that website
[04:08] <Darrow_> acerimmer: will do :)
[04:08] <gluegun> glioros, did it work?
[04:09] <jonathon_> nibbl0r one second
[04:09] <gluegun> btw, is there any channel in this server aside from #ubuntu?
[04:09] <jonathon_> gluegun, This server has several thousand channels
[04:09] <borillion> ^^
[04:10] <gluegun> jonathon_: wow. :)
[04:10] <borillion> gluegun, on almost any subject you can imagine
[04:10] <glioros> gluegun: Yes :) thanks man
[04:10] <gluegun> glioros, you're welcome. :)
[04:10] <vite> hi youall, I am experimenting with low memory systems. the minimal iso was not recognized by startdisk creator or universal usb creator
[04:12] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Oh joy, I found a big wiki page about setting up convirt, give this a read through, it might have the fix you need http://www.convirture.com/wiki/index.php?title=Convirt2_Installation
[04:12] <vite> so I was wondering if I install the server and only put starx and fluxbox as window manager will it take up a lot of ram
[04:12] <borillion> jonathon_ http://static.inky.ws/image/1129/image.jpg and http://static.inky.ws/image/1130/image.jpg
[04:12] <borillion> whats gdl_box?
[04:12] <vite> i chose the manually install your packages option on the installer
[04:12] <nibbl0r> thanks jonathon_ will try that
[04:13] <Micah> I did run the sudo update-grub and it found several linux images and also "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2" and "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda3"
[04:13] <somsip> vite: use the minimal cd install, not the server edition
[04:13] <jonathon_> Micah, Ok good, Now restart and you should be able to get into windows
[04:13] <jonathon_> If not, Come back and we'll try again
[04:13] <vite> darnet, now ill have to start over...
[04:14] <jonathon_> borillion, I'm not sure, You can try killing it, worst outcome is you'll have to restart
[04:14] <somsip> vite: well, you can carry on with what you're doing, but the minimal cd install is the tool for the job
[04:14] <vite> well, i am chatting with you with the experiment
[04:16] <nibbl0r> jonathon_:  the step by step procedure http://www.convirture.com/wiki/index.php?title=C2_ubuntu_installation already fails on installing_dependencies because of libxen3 and python-xen-3.3
[04:16] <Micah> when I go to turn on my computer, the grub comes up and there are 2 windows options.  "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)".  Neither work.
[04:16] <vite> I mean the computer did run the regular desktop edition but it was a bit sloppy on the transitions. So I did the server ed install, chose auto updates but not software. it be sad to start over
[04:16] <jonathon_> Micah, What happens when you select them?
[04:17] <jonathon_> nibbl0r, Try using synaptic to install those packages?
[04:17] <vite> and server editioin allows for encryption
[04:18] <Micah> when I select the option that ends with 2, I get a windows error Recovery screen.  It says windows failed to start and that I should launch startup repair.
[04:19] <jonathon_> Micah, and when you select the other one?
[04:20] <francoisb> Good evening! I can't seem to use update-alternatives for Ruby: https://gist.github.com/1630943
[04:21] <atruno> what is an ubuntu employee again this time ?
[04:22] <jonathon_> francoisb, And why are you trying to do alternative?
[04:22] <atruno> i have IBS
[04:22] <francoisb> jonathon_ Because I also install puppet, and puppet install Ruby 1.8
[04:23] <jonathon_> So you hbave two ruby installs now :D
[04:23] <francoisb> jonathon_: Yes, and I'm fine with that, as long as typing "ruby" at the command line gives me 1.9, which it doesn't right now
[04:24] <acerimmer> Micah: your windows is almost certainly installed correctly - just needs a bit of help finding it.
[04:24] <jonathon_> francoisb, Ahh ok, I see the problem you're facing now
[04:24] <jonathon_> Can you type ruby1.9.1 at the CL?
[04:25] <Micah> jonathon_: I get a screen titled: "Windows Boot Manager" "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.  2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."  3. Click "Repair your computer."  there is an error sttus: 0xc000000f Info: The boot selection failed becuse a required device is inaccessible.
[04:25] <francoisb> jonathon_: Works beautifully!
[04:25] <Micah> @acerimmer: What should I do?
[04:25] <jonathon_> good good
[04:26] <francoisb> jonathon_: Next problem is installing Bundler which now defaults to Ruby 1.8
[04:26] <jonathon_> and the problem is?
[04:26] <UBravo> I not like the SOPA
[04:26] <francoisb> jonathon_: bundle install defaults to installing gems in the 1.8 install
[04:26] <jonathon_> UBravo, no one does
[04:27] <francoisb> jonathon_: Why aren't alternatives available for ruby? I know they were at one point because I wrote puppet manifests for that
[04:27] <franz_> hi, it is possible to virtualize windows 7 ultimate x64 through virtualbox?
[04:27] <jonathon_> They may have lost need for em
[04:27] <jonathon_> freanz, yes
[04:27] <jonathon_> franz*, yes
[04:27] <franz_> jonathon when i try this happen
[04:27] <francoisb> jonathon_: In the past 3 days? I'd be surprised. I wrote the recipe 2-3 days ago.
[04:28] <jonathon_> francoisb, Ahh lol
[04:28] <francoisb> jonathon_: Thanks for your help. I'll probably symlink /usr/local/bin/ruby to /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 which will do the right thing for me.
[04:29] <acerimmer> Micah: do you have the windows DVD?
[04:30] <Micah> I do not have the original instal disc because windows 7 came preinstalled on my computer. I do have the system recovery discs, though.
[04:31] <jonathon_> Micah, That should be fine
[04:31] <jonathon_> francoisb, Good good
[04:32] <Micah> ok. I'll put te first of 3 in and boot from them and tell you what happens....
[04:33] <DFan247> Is there a specific discussion room for GIMP?
[04:33] <acerimmer> !gimp
[04:34] <jonathon_> DFan247 Yea, /join #GIMP
[04:34] <DFan247> thanks!
[04:34] <jonathon_> No problem
[04:34] <franz_> jonathon when i Try to virtualize windows 7 this error appears http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e299/chamakon/youtube02.png
[04:35] <franz_> *windows 7 x64
[04:35] <jonathon_> Is your current ubuntu install x64?
[04:36] <franz_> yes
[04:36] <franz_> x86_64
[04:36] <jonathon_> And hae you tried reinstalling it?
[04:36] <jonathon_> The win7 virtual I mean
[04:36] <franz_> I never installed it
[04:37] <franz_> when I try that appears
[04:37] <jonathon_> O.o
[04:37] <jonathon_> Ok, That's an odd one
[04:37] <jonathon_> lol
[04:37] <jonathon_> You've done virtualization before, right?
[04:37] <franz_> with xP
[04:37] <franz_> Windows xp
[04:37] <jonathon_> And it worked fine?
[04:37] <franz_> but an app I need doesn't works on xp
[04:38] <franz_> so I need win 7
[04:38] <jonathon_> Are you installing from an actual disc or an ISO file?
[04:38] <Micah> the recovery manager has come up now. There are several options. "I need help immediately", "I'd like to ientify any problems", and "I'd like to take precautions"
[04:38] <jonathon_> Micah, Second one
[04:39] <franz_> iso jhonathon
[04:39] <jonathon_> Also what kind of menu is that? loll
[04:39] <rich> in libre office impress, can i make an animation of me drawing a circle? i want to be able to click and have a circle draw itself around an object on one slide
[04:39] <Micah> ok. Under that is: "Run Computer Checkup"
[04:39] <jonathon_> franz, Mind taking a screenie of your Vbox setup for win7 and posting it?
[04:39] <jonathon_> Micah, Run that
[04:40] <Micah> Ok. I have and there are 3 options, but only one is selectable; Open a Command Prompt
[04:40] <jonathon_> That probably won't help you
[04:40] <Ascavasaion> am I lagging?
[04:41] <jonathon_> You might have to wait for acerimmer to get here. He might know more about this
[04:41] <Stormx2> Hi. Flash's "Settings" dialog is unclickable. Is there any solutions? I've tried OverrideGPUValidation, WindowlessDisable, AVHardwareDisable, etc
[04:41] <acerimmer> Micah: OK, I've done this under a different set of circumstances.
[04:42] <Micah> ok, What should I do?
[04:43] <acerimmer> Micah: wait one...
[04:44] <acerimmer> Micah: what version of ubuntu were you using??
[04:44] <Micah> 11.10
[04:44] <Micah> 32 bit
[04:44] <Micah> my windows 7 is 64 bit
[04:47] <acerimmer> Micah: going to risk heresy here and suggest you (1) restore windows capability and (2)  reinstall ubuntu...
[04:48] <Micah> Ok, how should I restore windows capability?
[04:49] <jonathon_> acerimmer, What do you suppose the problem is? To me sounds like it didn't partition windows properly and ruined a file
[04:50] <acerimmer> jonathon_: my guess as well.
[04:50] <wireless> I installed fluxbox and lost unity and gnome...I still have the gnome panel and stuff...how do I get back unity and gnome...and maybe even kde, while still keeping fluxbox?

[04:57] <acerimmer> !ask|reganizer
[04:57] <jonathon_> reganizer, I noticed
[04:58] <reganizer> jonathon_: ?’┐Į
[04:58] <jonathon_> Reganizer, Your text is a lil wierd
[04:58] <reganizer> people ave been pasting things to me that crash my irc’┐Į
[04:58] <jonathon_> reganizer, but what's up?
[04:58] <reganizer> like that guest guy who just joined’┐Į
[04:58] <epod> what the heck client is crashing on that stuff?
[04:58] <reganizer> you too?’┐Į
[04:58] <wireless> How do I configure the windows manager at login in ubuntu 11.10? and whats the windows manager called?  (the menu that lets me select wheter I want gnome....KDE....fluxbox....etc)
[04:58] <reganizer> oh’┐Į
[04:58] <epod> xchat2 doesn't.  so switch to that if it's knocking you off.
[04:59] <wooter> mirc reganizer ?
[04:59] <epod> reganizer: no, that stuff doesnt affect my irc client.
[04:59] <reganizer> epod: im using xchat’┐Į
[04:59]  * wireless likes Konversation best
[04:59] <jonathon_> irssi is beast for IRC :D
[04:59] <epod> reganizer: no, you're using... something I've never heard of, according to your /ctcp version
[04:59] <jonathon_> I like it because it's CLI only, so ye :P
[04:59] <reganizer> so are we just advertising oiur clients?’┐Į
[05:00] <reganizer> epod: lol, it's an automated response that returns the version of the irc of the server im on’┐Į
[05:00] <pangolin> Can we get back to Ubuntu support please.
[05:00] <jonathon_> Sorry, Boss
[05:00] <hydrox24> can someone change their nick, I'm testing irssi
[05:00] <epod> reganizer: ahh.  well, your xchat may be out of date or something, I dunno.  I'm on xchat2 and I see the gibberish they post, but it doesnt do anything.  If it's affecting you, just apt-get a new client.
[05:01] <ohhai> hydrox, there?
[05:01] <hydrox24> thanks
[05:01] <hydrox24> it's an alias I made to block anything except real chatter
[05:01] <lwizardl> I am wanting to setp autorun/Autoexecute for a machine. So when I place in a Audio CD it runs RipperX and uses a preset for FLAC for each disc I place into the computer, and the for any DVD Video discs it would run handbrake and the preset I have for deafult
[05:01] <epod> pangolin: well, suggesting someone switch up their irc client to a non-exploitable version so they can not get knocked offline does qualify somewhat as 'ubuntu support' ;)
[05:01] <reganizer> epod: how do i do that’┐Į
[05:01] <lwizardl> any idea on how to do that ?
[05:02] <hydrox24> lwizardl: you happy to do shell-scripting?

[05:09] <wireless> I've had issues though
[05:09] <wireless> I had unity and gnome as options...
[05:09] <wireless> but then installed fluxbox
[05:09] <nibbl0r> jonathon_:  after fiddling around for a while, compiling python 2.4 (as it requires it) and linking it.. i got to a dead end where i dont know what the error means anymore: http://pastebin.com/MUv1XQki
[05:09] <wireless> and now I can only select fluxbox as an option

[05:09] <hydrox24> oh
[05:09] <hydrox24> wireless: that sucks a little
[05:09] <wireless> yea kindof lame
[05:10] <wireless> I think I'm gonna just go for it and try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:10] <hydrox24> sorry, not much experience, I think unity isn't great (not terrible) so I use gnome 2
[05:10] <hydrox24> gnoem 3
[05:10] <hydrox24> I mean
[05:10] <Kaleidoscope> nibbl0r, Sorry man, I'm out, I've got no ideas here
[05:10] <Kaleidoscope> hydrox24, LXDE for the win :D
[05:10] <wireless> I'm not a big fan of unity either
[05:11] <ubuntu_> got a malicious hacker turned --dport for iptables off
[05:12] <Kaleidoscope> Who hacks a ubuntu chat room?
[05:12] <atomicspin> Oh Wikipedia, you still know how to give me my info, don't you?
[05:12] <ubuntu_> interesting to mention even on the cdimages I saved to disc

[05:15] <Kaleidoscope> I'm not sure that was reganizer's actual hostname XD
[05:15] <hydrox24> I can't see anything except normal messages
[05:15]  * wireless types "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and crosses his fingers that he wont loose fluxbox.....
[05:15] <hydrox24> using "/ignore -channels #ubuntu * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS"

[05:18] <hydrox24> wireless: sorry, shouldn't have been so elitist
[05:18] <Earthcore> tnx for answer @hydrox24,Kaleidoscope
[05:18] <Kaleidoscope> Earthcore, No trouble, Is something going on?
[05:18] <Earthcore> has anybody experience with iptables
[05:19] <wireless> god iptables give me a headache
[05:19] <Earthcore> because somebody turned the --dport variable off and I am stuck
[05:20] <hekklo> in my shared hosting i can see which file is eatng up lots of resources. how do i do it via cli ?
[05:20] <Earthcore> I hate malicious hacking
[05:20] <hekklo> not shared hosting, i meant cpanel
[05:20] <tremby> i've been having seriously reduced graphics performance on Intel mobile 4 series (laptop) since kernel 2.6.38. 2.6.35-32 works fine, and i've also tried 3.0.0-14, which still suffers the problem. symptoms: glxgears gives an extremely low frame rate, games agree. anything i can try?
[05:20] <Earthcore> it wasnt even the robin hood style thing
[05:21] <Earthcore> tremby: kernel regression I guess
[05:22] <Earthcore> tremby: noob answer sorry
[05:22] <tremby> Earthcore: i just found an article saying there was supposed to be a massive performance fix in 2.6.38. i wonder why i'm seeing the opposite.
[05:23] <hydrox24> wireless: have you tried the system settings method of changing the WM?
[05:23] <wireless> hydrox24no I havent...do you know how I'd do that
[05:23] <Earthcore> tremby: I really dont know and was just guessing because you said it worked so why upgrading to a regression?
[05:23] <hydrox24> go into system settings app
[05:24] <hydrox24> or the "control center"
[05:24] <hydrox24> if you are able
[05:24] <tremby> Earthcore: i guess what i'm asking is whether anyone knew of this regression. i'll google further for bug reports
[05:25] <hydrox24> wireless:
[05:26] <hydrox24> wireless: you there
[05:26] <hydrox24> wireless: you there???
[05:26] <wireless> oh yea sorry
[05:26] <BUTTSBUTTER> Hey. I searched for an item in Nautilus and found it, but when I go to the properties of that item it fails to give me the full file path (it just has /foo/foofoofoo/....)
[05:27] <BUTTSBUTTER> How do I get the full file path?
[05:27] <wireless> I said do you know how do do that?
[05:27] <hydrox24> wireless: can you open teh control center
[05:27] <wireless> noo
[05:27] <hydrox24> not in fluxbox?
[05:27] <wireless> Im in fluxbox
[05:27] <wireless> also the menu is messed up
[05:27] <wireless> I basicaly am down to the terminal
[05:27] <wireless> for EVERYTHING
[05:27] <wireless> I like that...but it gets annoying sometimes
[05:28] <hydrox24> wireless: try "gnome-control-center"

[05:29] <hydrox24> wireless: feedback?
[05:29] <Pseudoephedrine> I booted Ubuntu from USB about a month ago, since then i have bought a new computer.. I still have the Ubuntu OS saved on the USB and i am just wondering if i would be able to still use it to boot with, or would i have to redownload it and burn it to USB all over again?
[05:29] <wireless> thanks
[05:29] <hydrox24> Pseudoephedrine: only if you wanted the newest version
[05:29] <wireless> it worked
[05:29] <hydrox24> wonderful!
[05:30] <hydrox24> wireless: can you change the WM?
[05:30] <Pseudoephedrine> hydrox24 so the USB should to be able to boot then?
[05:30] <hydrox24> Pseudoephedrine: yes, most definetely
[05:30] <wireless> hydrox24: i'm looking...where do I go to do that?
[05:30] <Earthcore> tremby: dunno, sorry I am just an ?unaccomblished(i cant remember the word)? nerd
[05:30] <hydrox24> wireless: "login screen"
[05:31] <Pseudoephedrine> hydrox24 thanks heaps
[05:31] <wireless> wierd
[05:31] <hydrox24> what?
[05:31] <wireless> hydrox24: no login screen...even when I search
[05:31] <hydrox24> is gdm installed?
[05:31] <hydrox24> BRB
[05:31] <wireless> I thought so
[05:32] <hydrox24> Back
[05:32] <Earthcore> I just need a GUI for searching web pages/domains not google that thing is useless.
[05:33] <hydrox24> how is google useless?
[05:33] <hydrox24> Earthcore: DuckDuckGo works well
[05:33] <hydrox24> Earthcore: http://blekko.com/
[05:33] <hydrox24> wireless: what is it?
[05:35] <Pseudoephedrine> hydrox24 to boot, do i just need to stick the USB in and restart? Or will i need to select the USB at startup in BIOS or boot menu?
[05:35] <hydrox24> yes, the latter
[05:35] <Earthcore> hydrox24: I am not searching for a new searchpage
[05:35] <Pseudoephedrine> hydrox24 was that to me?
[05:35] <hydrox24> Pseudoephedrine: yes, soz
[05:36] <Earthcore> hydrox24: I want to search from my local machine
[05:36] <Pseudoephedrine> hydrox24 not a prob.. so i select the USB correct? just want to double check ;p
[05:36] <hydrox24> that's  OK
[05:37] <Earthcore> hydrox24: and I want to download internet pages
[05:37] <hydrox24> Earthcore: wget?
[05:37] <Earthcore> hydrox24: but the firefox search does not work
[05:38] <Earthcore> hydrox24: no CLI
[05:38] <Earthcore> hydrox24: GUI only
[05:38] <hydrox24> fine
[05:38] <tremby> gwget?
[05:40] <hydrox24> wireless: are you there?
[05:40] <Earthcore> tremby: maybe tnx
[05:41] <tremby> i wasn't reading the whole problem, but don't be scared of the command line
[05:41] <hydrox24> wget is as easy as:
[05:42] <hydrox24> wget www.google.com
[05:42] <hydrox24> and it will download a local copy to the current dir
[05:42] <fritz> join #conky
[05:43] <hydrox24> fritz: ok
[05:45] <Earthcore> hydrox24: wget is not that easy
[05:46] <tremby> Earthcore: what are you trying to do?
[05:46] <Earthcore> hydrox24: it is not a web page downloader
[05:46] <tremby> it sure is that easy if you just want to save the file to your disk
[05:46] <tremby> yes it is
[05:46] <tremby> if you want all the images etc too, wget -p google.com
[05:46] <hydrox24> Earthcore: it really is that easy...
[05:47] <Earthcore> tremby: I am trying to fix iptables and need to search for --dport in its documentation
[05:47] <hydrox24> then use google
[05:48] <tremby> Earthcore: why do you need to download web pages for that? man iptables, then /--dport, then n until you find what you need. or, as hydrox24 says, google for the manpage and use your browser's search
[05:48] <Earthcore> hydrox24: http://paste.ubuntu.com/808223/
[05:48] <hydrox24> can you give me a link to the docs?
[05:48] <fritz> exit
[05:48] <Earthcore> http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/index.html
[05:49] <wireless> hydrox24: sorry...my Kitty named Linux wouldnt come inside and its snow rainging with SUPER harsh rain right now.
[05:49] <tremby> huh, it locks you out for using wget. add -U Mozilla to pretend to be Mozilla and it works
[05:49] <wireless> hydrox24: So I'm installing gnome right now...and then Im gonna try and install gdm..I thought I had gdm but didnt...I have some other menu I guess

[05:50] <hydrox24> inurl:http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables "--dport"
[05:50] <hydrox24> that ok
[05:50] <rigved> wireless: if you are using 11.10 unity, then you have lightdm instead of gdm
[05:50] <hydrox24> wireless: that;s finke
[05:50] <hydrox24> wireless: rig is right
[05:50] <lalala> hi

[05:54] <tremby> also disable JS if you still want to use Wikipedia. but only after sending that email.
[05:54] <tremby> :)
[05:55] <ejv> imagine the millions of emails we can generate, with combined effort! /o/
[05:55] <hydrox24> tremby: can you explain that?
[05:56] <tremby> hydrox24: explain what exactly?
[05:56] <hydrox24> tremby: disabling js on wikipedia
[05:57] <tremby> the overlay blocking it out comes from a script run when the page finishes loading. if you don't want the content to disappear, one thing you can do is disable javascript. then Wikipedia runs as normal (but obviously without any JS it might have had)
[05:57] <tremby> or use a browser which doesn't have JS like Netsurf or a text based one like links2
[05:57] <tremby> or potentially your smartphone
[05:58] <fritz> can anyone give me the TLDR; on UBUNTU and JAVA? It never seems to work.
[05:58] <MK`> or just hit ESC before it finishes loading.
[05:58] <wireless> how do I use the find command to find files and then display them by largest to smallest?
[05:58] <ejv> or google disabling JS for the browser... and stop being lazy
[05:58] <ejv> lol

[05:59] <hydrox24> why would the pages be blocked
[06:00] <wireless> fritz: I never have problems with java in linux
[06:00] <tremby> wireless: find . -print0 | du --files0-from=- | sort -n

[06:13] <hydrox24> pambos: scp?
[06:14] <hydrox24> pambos: use scp on your local machine
[06:14] <pehden> is it hdmi or standard
[06:14] <pehden> pambos
[06:14] <pehden> use filezilla
[06:14] <goddard> hydrox24: im plugging it into my laptop
[06:14] <pambos> hydrox24: it returns No such file or directory
[06:14] <goddard> i can plug in my dell monitor and it works fine
[06:14] <rigved> pehden: you can use scp. it will use an ssh connection to copy the file.
[06:15] <hydrox24> no, I mean use you local linux machine to scp
[06:15] <pehden> rigved yea i forgot that one its better
[06:15] <rigved> pehden: sorry. that was for pambos
[06:15] <rigved> pambos: use scp
[06:15] <pehden> rigved pambos yea scp has gui to
[06:15] <IcemanV9> pambos, scp <username>@<server_name>:/directory/to/specific/<filename> .
[06:16] <pambos> also scp returns this The authenticity of host myhost ' can't be established.

[06:19] <zefyx> Does 11.10 x64 have the proper driver support?
[06:21] <kroonrs> pambos: if you're using putty on windows - download pscp from the same place you got putty
[06:22] <goddard> strange this monitor doesn't wanna work
[06:22] <kroonrs> pambos: ssh won't download files. pscp is for secure copying of files using the ssh protocol
[06:22] <etfb> So since Single Sign-On is down, how do I sync things like Tomboy Notes?  Is there an alternative way to sync across devices?

[06:24] <pambos> kroonrs: i tried to download pscp and it seems it is not working on windows 7 64bit
[06:24] <IcemanV9> pambos, you don't have to download it. it is part of putty.
[06:25] <IcemanV9> pambos, in command terminal (on windows), type pscp <username>@<server_name>:/directory/to/specific/<filename> .
[06:25] <YoHoMoJo> anyone running arch linux?
[06:26] <etfb> YoHoMoJo: On an Ubuntu forum?
[06:26] <somsip> YoHoMoJo: /join #arch plenty of them there
[06:26] <hydrox24> no, it's an ubuntu channel...
[06:26] <YoHoMoJo> Wooow, apologies, thought I was in linux
[06:27] <zefyx> no one?
[06:27] <hydrox24> YoHoMoJo: that's alright
[06:27] <WalterN> YoHoMoJo: heh
[06:28] <hydrox24> zefyx: not sure
[06:28] <hydrox24> zefyx: is the screen just blank?
[06:30] <pambos> icemanv9: sorry but i didnt understand what you mean. to enter the command in putty ?
[06:31] <IcemanV9> pambos, not in putty. in the command terminal is where you enter the command
[06:31] <pambos> icemanv9: ok in the command terminal the command is not recognised
[06:32] <IcemanV9> pambos, are you sure? i have used it many times daily at work. :-)
[06:33] <IcemanV9> perhaps the path was not set correctly for pscp
[06:34] <IcemanV9> pambos, go to the putty directory (i'm on ubuntu right now) somewhere in Program Files directory, then enter command (pscp)
[06:34] <pambos> icemanv9: how it is possible to work though the command terminal as far as i cant establish connection with the server using the command terminal ?
[06:34] <tolo> hi, how can i edit installed font to be displayed correctly,?  it is utf
[06:34] <pambos> -bash: pscp: command not found
[06:35] <IcemanV9> pambos, bash? you're on linux box, not windows
[06:35] <zefyx> I cannot get video while installing 11.10. I have Intel hd 3000 graphics
[06:36] <IcemanV9> pambos, are you trying to scp file from the windows box to linux box??
[06:36] <kroonrs> IcemanV9: strange, earlier he said Win64bit
[06:36] <zefyx> after the purple purple boot screen with the keyboard video disappears never to return.
[06:36] <pambos> icemanv9: I am connected to the server using putty
[06:37] <cvam> after upgrading to oneiric from natty the resolution changed  in second booting. all fonts, icons are look wider and shorter. how reset  as I had  in  natty
[06:37] <kroonrs> pambos: disconnect from the server, then run the pscp command IcemanV9 gave you using windows "run command" option on the menu
[06:37] <codepython777> for some reason, my machine switches itself off every night...any ideas what could be causing it or how to find out?
[06:37] <kroonrs> pambos: and select the run in terminal option.  If there isn't one, run the command prompt program in accessories
[06:37] <IcemanV9> pambos, use the terminal on the windows, not the server.
[06:38] <hydrox24> zefyx: have you tried using nomodeset
[06:38] <hydrox24> ?
[06:38] <codepython777> is there a way to see what caused the last shutdown?
[06:38] <pambos> icemanv9: the terminal on the window does not recognise the command
[06:39] <IcemanV9> pambos, bash error again? right? if so, you're still on the server, not on windows
[06:39] <kroonrs> codepython777: you can try checking /var/log/messages
[06:39] <hydrox24> zefyx: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/01/ubuntumaverick-blank-screen-problem.html
[06:39] <codepython777> kroonrs: anything particular i can grep for?
[06:39] <pambos> icemanv9: I am on windows. and pscp is not recognised as a command
[06:39] <IcemanV9> pambos, start > accessories > command prompt
[06:40] <pambos> icemanv9: I am in the command prompt
[06:40] <IcemanV9> it brings up the windows terminal (not putty)
[06:40] <kroonrs> codepython777: not sure - the log is timestamped, so look for the time the machine shut down, or if you're not sure of that, look for a gap in the times
[06:40] <IcemanV9> pambos, type pscp <username>@<server_name>:/directory/to/specific/<filename> .
[06:41] <pambos> icemanv9: I typed that and i am getting an error that pscp is not a recognised command (in the windows terminal NOT in putty)
[06:41] <IcemanV9> or c:/Program Files/full path/<putty dir>/pscp <username>@<server_name>:/directory/to/specific/<filename> .
[06:41] <codepython777> kroonrs: cant find the time and cause
[06:42] <kroonrs> http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/pscp.exe
[06:42] <kroonrs> pambos: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/pscp.exe - does this file not run for you?
[06:42] <codepython777> Jan 18 00:38:10 cg kernel: [   14.097438] ureadahead: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0xd0 -- is this something serious i need to worry about?
[06:43] <pambos> kroors: no
[06:43] <kroonrs> codepython777: "uptime" will tell you how long the machine has been up
[06:43] <codepython777> kroonrs: thats only 5 minutes...i just switched it on remotely
[06:44] <Kaleidoscope> Ok guys, I use PCmanFM as my File manager. And if I have exe files I want to launch, I can right click to select either Wine or q4wine. But for some reason if I pick wine, It works fine, but if I pick q4wine, It does nothing. Any ideas?
[06:44] <pambos> guys
[06:44] <pambos> i am gonna do it in another way
[06:44] <kroonrs> codepython777: and what's the last few things in /var/log/messages before the 5-minute ago start-up?
[06:44] <codepython777> kroonrs: that should help for sure
[06:45] <codepython777> kroonrs: lemme cut and paste
[06:45] <kroonrs> codepython777: use pastebin to paste, please
[06:45] <kroonrs> codepython777: http://pastebin.com/
[06:46] <codepython777> kroonrs: http://pbin.be/show/373/
[06:46] <codepython777> these are the last lines before the new boot
[06:47] <codepython777> kroonrs: any ideas ?
[06:48] <kroonrs> codepython777: sorry, can't see any issues in that pastebin - perhaps it was the page allocation issue, but perhaps it was also a bug in Xen
[06:48] <IcemanV9> ran out of swap memory as it seems?
[06:48] <kroonrs> codepython777: were you (or someone else) doing anything on the machine when it crashed?
[06:48] <codepython777> IcemanV9: that might be the case. I dont think i've swap
[06:48] <codepython777> no, but its a VPS, so it could be the ones who run the VMs?
[06:49] <Pseudoephedrine> I am trying to set an alias for SSH in .bash_alias but i am having a bit of trouble.. is this line correct alias ghost='ssh -p 15999 svndr@host.name.here' and do i have to close terminal and open it for it to work?
[06:49] <IcemanV9> well, it ran out of memory when Xen tried to start, then it's shutdown (automatically)?
[06:49] <kroonrs> Passing on to IcemanV9 , gottago
[06:49] <cvam> after upgrading to oneiric from natty on the  restart  on display setting it says "samsung  19'" but after the second login it is "unknown" and all fonts and icons look wider.
[06:49] <codepython777> why did xen try to start?
[06:49] <codepython777> dpkg -l | grep xen -- null on my machine
[06:49] <IcemanV9> apparently, someone or cronjob try to start Xen?
[06:50] <IcemanV9> i'm not familiar with Xen though. so i don't know where to troubleshoot Xen
[06:51] <codepython777> IcemanV9: but shouldn't it be installed on my machine to cause a problem?
[06:51] <codepython777> ah its the xen ethernet driver ? that i do have
[06:52] <IcemanV9> something in the kernel have module related to Xen. again, i am not sure.
[06:52] <IcemanV9> it is possible kernel have Xen ethernet driver module built-in
[06:52] <codepython777> yes i think so
[06:53] <zefyx> hydroxy no
[06:54] <codepython777> is there a nice gui tool that emails me when one of my machines is down?
[06:55] <IcemanV9> codepython777, since your box is rebooted, it should be okay (enough memory). you might want to tailing the message if you want to see if something's trying to start Xen
[06:55] <orlok> codepython777: most are not gui as they run on servers somewhere
[06:55] <codepython777> keeps the logs in one place for post-mortem etc.
[06:55] <codepython777> orlok: any recommendations?
[06:55] <codepython777> easy to use please.
[06:55] <IcemanV9> codepython777, you'll have to create a script and put in the cronjob
[06:56] <codepython777> I can. I was hoping someone has made it easy by now.
[06:56] <orlok> codepython777: oh, for Xen specifically? Not sure.. i would use a simple shell script, but theres things like nagios, etc
[06:56] <zefyx> I'll try, thanks
[06:56] <orlok> codepython777: a GUI tool, so it requires X to be running?
[06:56] <codepython777> something lightweight than nagios
[06:56] <IcemanV9> nagios is not simple application to use
[06:56] <codepython777> i've x running
[06:57] <codepython777> i cud live with commandline
[06:57] <orlok> codepython777: But will you if theres an issue that causes your Xen instances to fail?
[06:57] <codepython777> orlok: Its not my xen...I got a VPS rented from someone who runs xen...I just need to monitor my VM
[06:57] <orlok> codepython777: you would need X to start up and start this application automatically..
[06:57] <blackshirt> what does this mean : gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available ?
[06:57] <blackshirt>  
[06:57] <blackshirt> ?
[06:58] <IcemanV9> codepython777, script/cronjob would be sufficient if you could roll up your sleeves :-)
[06:58] <codepython777> IcemanV9: seems like i'd have to do that
[06:58] <codepython777> g'nite :)
[06:58] <orlok> codepython777: and get it to send an email on boot!
[06:58] <codepython777> thanks for all the help
[06:58] <codepython777> orlok: thats easy :) -- get to send me an email, when its dead actually :)
[06:58] <IcemanV9> codepython777, for now, it is until you have time to look for a better one
[06:58] <orlok> codepython777: "Ahh crap i rebooted! i fell down and i dont know where i am!"
[06:59] <codepython777> orlok: nah -- "I am dead master...here are the last 100 lines of my /var/log/messages -- please switch me back on " :)
[06:59] <gh0strider> hey guys is there a way to downgrade from gnome3 to gnome2 ?
[07:00] <codepython777> will write a python script for that soon
[07:00] <codepython777> for now, g'nite.
[07:00] <blackshirt> what does this mean : gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available ?
[07:01] <gh0strider> when i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 it upgraded gnome as well and i really don't like this new gnome especially since i am using blackbuntu and the older gnome used to have a "pentest" menu and this new gnome doesn't have it, unless there is a way i can add a pentest menu on this new gnome menu?
[07:04] <gh0strider> is it true that is not possible to use gnome 2 on ubuntu 11.10 you have to downgrade to 11.04 ?
[07:05] <IcemanV9> gh0strider, my friend, google said, "select GNOME Classic on the logon screen" and you shall have gnome 2
[07:06] <gh0strider> IcemanV9: there is no gnome classic on the menu login screen
[07:06] <gh0strider> only gnome and gnome 2D and i tried both and none worked...
[07:06] <gh0strider> it is all the new gnome...
[07:07] <pdfman> installed additional sta drivers for wireless adaptor but adaptor is not recognized
[07:07] <IcemanV9> gh0strider, again, my friend google gave me a suggestion to check this website for yourself -> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/
[07:12] <gh0strider> IcemanV9: thanks for your help, on blackbuntu i used to have a pentest menu on gnome 2 that had all the apps that i needed, would you think there is anyway to add this kind of menu to gnom3 or would that not be possible, just wondering...?
[07:13] <IcemanV9> sorry, no clue, gh0strider
[07:14] <gh0strider> shit there is no "gnome-fallback-session' app available...
[07:16] <gh0strider> fuck, i fucked myself big time...
[07:16] <gh0strider> after all the work i did updating blackbuntu i should have never upgraded to ubuntu 11.10
[07:16] <gh0strider> i feel like shit...
[07:16] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[07:16] <gh0strider> after all that customization...
[07:17] <CharminTheMoose> I'm having a problem with udev and the bootcd package. The initram creates the /dev filesystem and and fills it with devices, then moves it to the real root under /dev.ro, though the /dev symlink eventually gets linked to what's on the ram disk, but then contains a bunch of extra and even missing devices.. Anyone know what's going on?
[07:17] <IcemanV9> gh0strider, you have been warned many times. please refrain from bad language
[07:17] <gh0strider> ya i apologize, just frustrated
[07:17] <gh0strider> there is no way to downgrade to 11.04 is there..?
[07:19] <Pseudoephedrine> I just installed Ubuntu on a new laptop and at the moment i cant change the screen brightness in 'screen' and cant change the size of the unity bar in 'compiz'.. any ideas?
[07:21] <theadmin> gh0strider: No
[07:21] <cvam> window placement shortcut key doesn't work in  oneiric
[07:23] <gh0strider> theadmin: i am looking for the app "gnome-session-fallback" because i heard that it is possible to use gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10 and i saw a youtbue video where the guy installed it from the repositories with apt-get but when i search for the file i don't find it?
[07:24] <gh0strider> any ideas?
[07:24] <theadmin> gh0strider: It's on 11.04. Gnome2 is unusable on 11.10
[07:25] <coolstar-ipod> gh0strider: You can switch over to KDE or Xfce though. :)
[07:25] <plum> hey all
[07:26] <plum> i'm having an issue where my windows partition is not mounted by default
[07:26] <gh0strider> theadmin: i really want to switch over to gnome2 on 11.10 is the only way to do it with "gnome-session-fallback" ?
[07:26] <coolstar-ipod> gh0strider: Are you looking for lightweight, or fancy effects?
[07:26] <plum> i'm wondering what i can do to fix this? as all my music resides on my windows partition...
[07:26] <theadmin> gh0strider: There is NO way to do it. You should try XFCE, which looks a lot like gnome2.
[07:26] <coolstar-ipod> plum: Fat32 or MTFS?
[07:26] <coolstar-ipod> *Ntfs
[07:26] <plum> coolstar-ipod: ntfs
[07:26] <gh0strider> coolstar-ipod: i just want gnome2, which i am going to have to figure this out
[07:27] <coolstar-ipod> gh0strider: If you want fancy effects try KDE
[07:27] <gh0strider> which i am going to probably have to reinstall...
[07:27] <gh0strider> i know all about kde, but thanks
[07:27] <gh0strider> i am just really frustrated, i can't believe i did this to myself...
[07:27] <cvam> window placement shortcut key(ctrl+alt+NUMpad 1,2,3,...,0) doesn't work in  oneiric. why?
[07:28] <coolstar-ipod> theadmin: Can you mount the partition in the File Manager?
[07:28] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: ?...
[07:28] <coolstar-ipod> theadmin: Open the file manager and you should see it in the left collumn.
[07:29] <theadmin> gh0strider: You CAN'T use gnome2 on Ubuntu anymore! Finita la comedia. Try Linux Mint, which comes with both gnome3 and gnome2.
[07:29] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: You sure you're talking to the right person?... I have no problems
[07:29] <coolstar-ipod> Oops
[07:29] <gh0strider> theadmin: i thank you for your help, but relax okay i get it
[07:29]  * coolstar-ipod is having a hard time scrolling on this tiny screen
[07:30] <plum> coolstar-ipod: it opens fine if i open it from the left pane
[07:30] <plum> mounts fine and everything, i can access my files etc
[07:30] <coolstar-ipod> plum: Do you know how to mount it from the terminal?
[07:30] <plum> not exactly, but i imagine it might have something to do with some dirty fstab work
[07:30] <plum> is that correct?
[07:31]  * coolstar-ipod needs to check since it mounts in userspace
[07:31] <coolstar-ipod> plum: Or you can edit /etc/rc.local and add a line to be run on boot up
[07:31] <plum> i'm using a program called pysdm to try and mount it automatically, that works for my other drives but not this one for some reason
[07:32] <coolstar-ipod> plum: it runs as root, so you can do sudo -u plum <command>
[07:32] <coolstar-ipod> I'm assuming
[07:32] <plum> er, it's graphical
[07:32] <coolstar-ipod> Your user is plum
[07:32] <plum> requires a password to run the program though
[07:32] <coolstar-ipod> plum: The startup script runs as root
[07:33] <plum> ah i see
[07:33] <coolstar-ipod> Root = super administrator (for win32 guys)
[07:34] <cvam> window placement shortcut key(ctrl+alt+NUMpad 1,2,3,...,0) doesn't work in  oneiric. why?
[07:34] <plum> i know what root is xD lol
[07:34] <coolstar-ipod> lol
[07:35]  * coolstar-ipod hopes canonical fixes up Unity in 12.04
[07:35]  * coolstar-ipod will use KDE meanwhile even though it takes a long time to log in
[07:36] <xZyoh> Hey, I've got a slightly annoying problem while installing perl with apache, does anyone have the time to look at it?
[07:37] <coolstar-ipod> xZyoh: Ok sure go right ahead :)
[07:37] <andyn> i'd like a wmaker-esque unity. time to fork?

[07:48] <coolstar-ipod> llutz_: I was trying to search for a package. Much faster to use the bots than apt-cache
[07:48] <gh0strider> well it is possible to have gnome 3 look like gnome 2
[07:48] <llutz_> not very successful as you may have seen
[07:49] <gh0strider> but it is still not the same...
[07:49] <gh0strider> which means that i am going to have to reinstal...
[07:49] <gh0strider> damnit i am so pissed...heh
[07:49] <coolstar-ipod> gh0strider: Have you looked at mate?
[07:49] <gh0strider> mate?
[07:49] <coolstar-ipod> Thats the name
[07:49] <xZyoh> llutz_: Do you have any idea on what I can do?
[07:50] <coolstar-ipod> It's a fork of gnome2
[07:50] <llutz_> xZyoh: nope, i'm not very versed with webservers. you may ask in #httpd or #apache
[07:50] <gh0strider> thanks for the tip i just wanted others to know that it is possible to tweak gnome3 with "gnome-session-fallback" to make it look like gnome2
[07:50] <gh0strider> but it isn't the same
[07:50] <gh0strider> if you don't like gnome3 do not upgrade to 11.10
[07:51] <gh0strider> which i didn't know that it would...
[07:51] <gh0strider> now i have a lot of work ahead of me to get things right again...
[07:51] <gh0strider> i will see you all much later
[07:52] <xZyoh> wth, I am banned from #apache o.O
[07:52] <coolstar-ipod> Yerushalmi: depends on what's in the bz2
[07:55] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: theres a README or INSTALL file inside those tarballs normally. you should check it
[07:58] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: *finds several such files, reads* Well hell this looks complicated. I'll try to follow the instructions and let you know if I get stuck. Thanks :)
[07:58] <coolstar-ipod> Yerushalmi: is there a configure file in there?
[07:59] <AlecTaylor> Ubuntu suffers from the Y2K bug. I mean, what version will they have in a 100 years? *trolololololololololo*
[07:59] <coolstar-ipod> Yerushalmi: or a makefile?
[08:00] <Slart> AlecTaylor: 111.04 and 111.10 .. or that didn't work for you?
[08:00] <Slart> =)
[08:00] <Yerushalmi> coolstar-ipod: All of the above. Readmes, installs, makefiles, configures, even several of each. o_O
[08:00] <xZyph> No one wants to help in #httpd -_-
[08:01] <coolstar-ipod> Yerushalmi: you probably got source code
[08:01] <AlecTaylor> Slart: But then we'd be running 011.10 now :P
[08:01] <pdfman> wireless adaptor fails to switch on???
[08:02] <Yerushalmi> coolstar-ipod: I do indeed have the source code. It was the only thing available :(
[08:02] <Slart> AlecTaylor: =) version number don't really obey standard math rules
[08:02] <llutz_> !compile | Yerushalmi read the readme, read this
[08:02] <llutz_> !checkinstall | Yerushalmi and read this :)
[08:03] <AlecTaylor> alien!
[08:03] <AlecTaylor> Slart: I protest!
[08:03] <AlecTaylor> It's very important that we have a vision for ubuntu in 100 years :P
[08:03] <coolstar-ipod> !ot | AlecTaylor
[08:04] <llutz_> AlecTaylor: 128 or 256bit?
[08:04] <AlecTaylor> 256bit
[08:04] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: The irritating thing is that zsnes /used/ to be installable through the package list. It's in fact still listed, but when you try and open the details it says it doesn't appear on the list.
[08:04] <AlecTaylor> coolstar-ipod: This is very important Ubuntu discussion. Don't you care about the version of Ubuntu your grandchildren will use? :P
[08:04] <llutz_> !info zsnes
[08:05] <pdfman> how do i get to terminal?
[08:05] <AlecTaylor> Ctrl+Shit+T
[08:05] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zsnes
[08:07] <AlecTaylor> sudo apt-get install sl
[08:07] <AlecTaylor> LS
[08:07]  * AlecTaylor toots
[08:07] <gdane> hi
[08:07] <AlecTaylor> hi
[08:08] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: Wow, it worked! Thanks!
[08:10] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: But this is weird. I noticed it uninstalled several things along the way. Like vlc. Why'd it do that?
[08:11] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: it depends on stuff conflicting with vlc etc.
[08:11] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: ...Well, /that's/ not good.
[08:12] <r4y> I can't click advanced search with Firefox because I made Ubuntu have black background and white text with a blue bar and made Firefox set to system colors. I have had this sort of problem with other little things using Firefox, but it never really messed up much so I didn't mind.
[08:13] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: apt-get should have told you _what_ the conflicting packages are
[08:13] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: It might've and I didn't notice? I'm used to only using Ubuntu Software Center, I'm afraid.
[08:14] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: well, cli has some advantages, imho
[08:14] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: cli?
[08:14] <llutz_> commandline
[08:15] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: Ah. Do you have a suggestion for a video player to replace vlc, if I can't install it with zsnes?
[08:16] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: no
[08:16] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: sudo apt-get install vlc -s          watch the output, it should tell you why it would remove zsnes (if it would)
[08:17] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: -s = simulate, so no worries
[08:17] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: *nods* I'll try that.
[08:17] <coolstar-ipod> Add a -v to that
[08:17] <Yerushalmi> -v?
[08:17] <coolstar-ipod> It will make it verbose
[08:18] <coolstar-ipod> Give full detail
[08:18] <Yerushalmi> llutz_, coolstar-ipod : Didn't really say anything about removing anything.
[08:19] <Yerushalmi> Although in Ubuntu Software Center it said I would need to uninstall zsnes, libsdl1.2debian, and libsdl1.2debian-alsa.
[08:19] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: so" sudo apt-get install vlc" and be happy
[08:20] <llutz_> Yerushalmi: softwarecenter might install recommends too, which _might_ cause that. i really don't know, i never used that
[08:20] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: LOL. I was going to say that I'll have to just consider it carefully and decide which one I prefer having on my computer. It uninstalled some other things as well, like a game called anagramarama that I like. I'll think on it.
[08:20] <Yerushalmi> llutz_: Thanks for all the help!
[08:21] <Laibeus_Lord> hi, 'have a problem currently: i can not browse the net on my desktop.  Things that are working: [1] I can connect to my XMPP account; [2] I can connect to my modem/router admin cp; [3] connection is working (which I'm using right now with my netbook). However, browsing, chatting, synaptic, etc. is dead. ifconfig shows my connection is fine, however pinging anything returns "unknown host". Add to that, if I try chromium's change proxy it returns "...or t
[08:21] <Laibeus_Lord> here was a problem launching your system configuration." I'm out of ideas.
[08:22] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: ping 8.8.8.8
[08:22] <afidegnum> hello good mroning all, pls I have been following the procedures but got stuch along the way. I need ur help....  I have Ubuntu with Vbox installed.... I have installed Debian inside teh new vbox   how do I install the vbox guest additions?
[08:23] <WaltherF1> llutz_: which is that?
[08:23] <Laibeus_Lord> llutz_, it works
[08:23] <llutz_> WaltherF1: google dns
[08:23] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: check your dns (/etc/resolv.conf)
[08:23] <WaltherF1> ah
[08:24] <WaltherF1> llutz_: also, heh, http://tekcert.com/blog/2011/04/16/why-4222-will-always-beat-8888
[08:25] <Laibeus_Lord> llutz_, set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4; but if i ping say www.google.com, returns unknown host
[08:25] <llutz_> WaltherF1: nice
[08:26] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: dig @8.8.8.8 www.ubuntu.com
[08:31] <Laibeus_Lord> llutz_, returned fine with results like the Answer section: www.ubuntu.com. 533 IN A 91.189.90.40 (or should I post the whole results?)
[08:31] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: thats odd, since its the same nameserver you should use by default...
[08:32] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: dig +short www.ubuntu.com    fails?
[08:33] <Laibeus_Lord> llutz_, nope it returns 91.189.90.40
[08:33] <llutz_> even more strange...
[08:34] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: could you please pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf file
[08:34] <Laibeus_Lord> okie
[08:36] <Laibeus_Lord> http://pastebin.ca/2103736
[08:37] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: ok - so if you now do "nslookup wwww.google.com" what do you get ?
[08:37] <eitch> hi guys. I've got a weird problem. All files I delete can not be moved to trash. The files are on a local file system... I don't know what the reason is. Anyone have an idea?
[08:38] <ikonia> eitch: permissions on the tash directory /
[08:38] <ikonia> ?
[08:39] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia: I get Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53; non-authoritative answer: then a list of IPs for www.l.google.com
[08:39] <jasef> Laibeus_Lord: Try typing wget www.google.com
[08:39] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: ok so when you ping www.google.com what happens
[08:39] <eitch> ikonia, which directory would that be? in my home?
[08:39] <ikonia> I think the issue maybe your nsswitch.conf as libresolv is clearly responding
[08:40] <ikonia> !trash | eitch
[08:40] <ikonia> eitch: I'm assuming you are using a gui to remove the files
[08:40] <Laibeus_Lord> jasef: resolving www.google.com... failed: Name or service not known.  wget: unable to resolve host address 'www.google.com'
[08:40] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia: unknown host
[08:41] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: ok, please pastebin /etc/nsswitch.conf
[08:41] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
[08:41] <jasef> Laibeus_Lord: So basically, lookup tools such as nslookup and dig work, but nothing else seems to be able to look anything up...
[08:41] <eitch> ikonia, the folder didn't exist, I now created it, but still it won't work. Logout required?
[08:41] <ikonia> eitch: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[08:42] <eitch> ikonia, yeah, i'm in normal ubuntu oneiric using nautilus to delete the files
[08:42] <coolstar-ipod> eitch: open nautilus as root
[08:42] <ikonia> eitch: not sure if anything has changed in 11.04 onwards, trying to find out
[08:42] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: why ?
[08:42] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: why should he open nautilus as root ?
[08:42] <coolstar-ipod> So it can delete
[08:42] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: it can delete as a normal user
[08:43] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: the problem is the files are not going to the trash directory
[08:43] <coolstar-ipod> ikonia: can't he just rm it?
[08:43] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: if you cannot understand simple questions, don't respond
[08:43] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: he CAN delete files, he wants them to go to the trash directory as they should
[08:44] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia, llutz_, http://pastebin.ca/2103738  (I skipped the lines with # [have to type manually])
[08:44] <ikonia> eitch: I'm just seeing if there is any reference to way trash works for 11.04 onwards, but I can't see anything
[08:45] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: that looks fine
[08:45] <Laibeus_Lord> jasef: yep. And the only thing that connects on my desktop right now is xmpp and local network
[08:45] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[08:45] <eitch> ikonia, ok. Nautilus as root works fine, but i can't find the deleted file now... in root's home their is no .local folder and neither is the file in my trash
[08:45] <ikonia> eitch: using root is not the answer
[08:46] <Laibeus_Lord> desktop is Lubuntu 11.10 64-bit
[08:46] <ikonia> eitch: that will not change the way the trash folder works
[08:46] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: if you do netstat -rn what is the gateway for 0.0.0.0
[08:46] <eitch> ikonia, i know. I'm just saying that using root didn't ask for confirmation about really deleting the file, so it should have gone to some trash...
[08:46] <coolstar-ipod> Laibeus_Lord: Try pinging google.com
[08:47] <ikonia> eitch: no it shouldn't, root works different that's why I told you not to use root
[08:47] <jasef> coolstar-ipod: That's been tried. Twice.
[08:47] <eitch> ikonia, ahh, ok
[08:47] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia: my modem/router's 192.168.1.254
[08:47] <coolstar-ipod> Laibeus_Lord: that means DHCP is working
[08:48] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: no it doesn't,
[08:49] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: ok - so it's forwarding out of your router and your router appears to forward dns requests without issue, and we know the resolver works fine, so why are tools such as ping or wget when they call libresolv not making the request
[08:50] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: lets try a test to see if it's actually the call to libresolv or the lookup it's self
[08:50] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: can you please add a line in your /etc/hosts file for a test, put wwww.google.com and map it to 8.8.8.8
[08:51] <coolstar-ipod> Laibeus_Lord: try pinging 74.125.224.114
[08:51] <coolstar-ipod> It's google's ip
[08:51] <ikonia> we know ip addresses work
[08:51] <ikonia> it's been tested
[08:51] <coolstar-ipod> ikonia: ok
[08:51] <jasef> Laibeus_Lord: Well, I don't know how to help from here, so I'm going to go. Good luck with your problem, and do yourself a favour and don't listen to anything coolstar-ipod says. No offence, coolstar-ipod.
[08:52] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia: ok done, added
[08:52] <coolstar-ipod> Laibeus_Lord: try pinging localhost
[08:52] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: ok, now try ping www.google.com
[08:52] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: enough, stop
[08:52] <coolstar-ipod> Ok. Fine
[08:52] <jasef> coolstar-ipod: Stop, seriously.
[08:52] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: if you have no idea how to help, don't
[08:53] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia: it works
[08:53]  * coolstar-ipod is gonna keep quiet
[08:53] <jasef> coolstar-ipod: It's clear you don't understand the problem, and I understand you want to help, but trying to help when you don't even understand the problem doesn't help.
[08:53] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: ok, so we now know that libresolv works fine
[08:53] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: could you pls change hosts-line in nsswitch.conf for a test into:   hosts: files mdns4 [NOTFOUND=return] dns              and try again
[08:53] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: so......thinking
[08:53] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: (remove that /etc/hosts entry, you don't want to keep that there)
[08:54] <theadmin> What's the problem we're dealing with anyway? I was looking away from the channel
[08:54] <coolstar-ipod> theadmin: Laibeus_Lord's DNS isn't workin
[08:54] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: They just determined it is working :/
[08:55] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: again, please stop
[08:55] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: (s)he can ping Google, it works
[08:55]  * coolstar-ipod cant help though
[08:55] <theadmin> ikonia: Mind telling me what the problem is? lol
[08:55] <ikonia> theadmin: give it a minute and you'll see the issue,
[08:55] <theadmin> ikonia: Ok
[08:55] <Laibeus_Lord> llutz_, ok did the change
[08:55] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: ping -c1 www.google.com
[08:55] <ikonia> theadmin: I'll fill in the gaps once llutz_'s test is done
[08:55] <Laibeus_Lord> llutz_, unknown host
[08:55] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: i assume you removed the google host-entry
[08:56] <Laibeus_Lord> llutz_, yep
[08:56] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: wrong guess of mine, sry
[08:56] <ikonia> theadmin: so, he's using the google dns servers as a test, we know they work as dig/nslookup query them fine, we know libresolv works fine as if you put entries in the host file, they get looked up, however when applications make a call to libresolv that requires dns looks, they don't happen
[08:56] <justin______> wikipedia is down.... crap
[08:57] <llutz_> justin______: SOPA protest
[08:57] <theadmin> justin______: Not the russian one :P
[08:57] <theadmin> justin______: But yeah... Also, offtopic
[08:57] <justin______> fix up ur bloody political issues with ur senators you bloody yankies
[08:57] <jasef> justin______: If you really need English Wikipedia, turn off Javascript or use the mobile site instead
[08:57] <ikonia> justin______: stop it please
[08:57] <Jallberg> sosat' blyadinbi
[08:57] <ikonia> this isn't wikipedia support - try #wikipedia
[08:57] <justin______> that's okay, je parle le francais
[08:57] <ikonia> no, English only here
[08:57] <justin______> ie fr.wikipedia.com
[08:57] <justin______> :D
[08:58] <theadmin> ikonia: Huh... Weirdest network problem ever, then.
[08:58] <ikonia> theadmin: it's an odd one for sure
[08:58] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: just thinking this through, not ignoring you
[08:58] <etu_> Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about making firefox load faster. It currently takes about 3 seconds. I tried cleaning the SQLite database using a script, but it didn't do much for me. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10.
[08:59] <jasef> I don't mean to overly simplify this, but is there any chance rebooting would help this? If there's anything Windows taught me it's that rebooting fixes things it really shouldn't sometimes.
[08:59] <Laibeus_Lord> theadmin: yep, it just happened a few hours ago after I turned on xampp, which I have been using regularly, never happened before
[08:59] <theadmin> etu_: 3 seconds ain't long... It loads for like 1.5 minutes for me, hey
[08:59] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia: np ^^
[09:00] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: turn off xampp, does it make a difference
[09:00] <theadmin> Hm... xampp really shouldn't be doing something like this
[09:00] <Laibeus_Lord> ikonia: yep, turned it off, then rebooted, still the same.
[09:00] <Laibeus_Lord> jasef: let me try another reboot
[09:00] <ikonia> Laibeus_Lord: ok, so that's good at least, it's persistant outside of xampp
[09:01] <llutz_> Laibeus_Lord: just blind trying, nsswitch.conf: hosts: files dns
[09:01] <etu_> theadmin: Ah, ok. I was thinking, like most programs such as Abiword take maybe 1.5 seconds at most, so Firefox might too. How does it take 1.5min? That seems kind of slow. Then again I'm not a particularly patient person :-P
[09:01] <spim> Hello.
[09:01] <theadmin> etu_: Anyway, on Extensions Manager -> Plugins disable those you do not use, especially the "VLC Multimedia Player Plugin" (if that's there), that takes ages to load.
[09:01] <spim> Is this the place to ask about VCD?
[09:01] <spim> .
[09:01] <spim> VLC*
[09:02] <theadmin> spim: You can ask here (if you're using it on Ubuntu)
[09:02] <spim> I am. ;)
[09:02] <spim> So there's no dedicated VLC serv?
[09:02] <Laibeus_Lord> brb, might as well restart everything
[09:03] <etu_> theadmin: Ok, thanks!
[09:03] <llutz_> #videolan spim
[09:03] <theadmin> etu_: As for how it takes 1.5 minutes, extensions, tons of them (like twenty). Chrome with almost same number of extensions starts up in just a few seconds though ^_^
[09:04] <spim> Ugh, sorry. Not VLC.
[09:04] <spim> VNC.
[09:04] <Corey> spim: What's the real world problem you're trying to solve? :-)
[09:04] <Corey> Ugh.
[09:04] <spim> I can't type coherently.
[09:04] <llutz_> spim: there are some more tla with V :)
[09:04] <spim> So yeah. Is there a dedicated VNC chan, or is this the place to discuss it?
[09:05] <llutz_> !alis | spim
[09:05] <etu_> theadmin: Ah, hmm. I disabled the VLC plugin, but didn't notice much difference. Then again I have about twenty plugins and extensions too. It's funny that you say that because I switched away from Chromium because it was too slow. :-P
[09:05] <spim> Aight apparently not.
[09:05] <theadmin> etu_: Huh. Weird. Okay lol
[09:06] <jasef> etu_, wow, that IS strange. I use Google Chrome (not Chromium but very similiar) on both Windows and Ubuntu on a pretty low powered netbook, and it's REALLY fast.
[09:06] <_Tristan> I used to be able to edit groups and users, now I have gnome 3 and that functionality is gone. How can I add a user to a group?
[09:06] <Corey> spim: Again, what's the real world problem you're trying to solve?
[09:06] <llutz_> _Tristan: sudo adduser user group
[09:06] <etu_> theadmin: Ah, it's way faster in safe mode. Must be an extension or a plugin that's the culpritŌĆ”
[09:06] <spim> Corey: I apoligize. Just want to make sure I'm in the right place.
[09:06] <theadmin> etu_: I suppose so.
[09:06] <_Tristan> llutz_: thanks
[09:07] <theadmin> etu_: I haven't used Firefox for a few months now, and the last one I used is Aurora anyway
[09:07] <spim> Anyway, just as you asked I finally got it to work after three days of configuring and troubleshooting. :-P
[09:07] <spim> However, it's giving me an error.
[09:07] <Corey> spim: Fire away, if you're not we'll point you in the right direction.
[09:07]  * coolstar-ipod isn't sure about Firefox or chrome
[09:07] <spim> "The panel encoutnered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?"
[09:07] <spim> Something I should be concerned about?
[09:07] <coolstar-ipod> spin: no
[09:07] <theadmin> spim: Meh, go ahead and remove it
[09:07] <spim> What is it?
[09:08] <almoxarife> theadmin: NO
[09:08] <coolstar-ipod> spin: Alt+F2 killall gnome-panel
[09:08] <theadmin> spim: It's outdated. User switching is now done by the indicator applet
[09:08] <spim> Ah, ok.
[09:08] <spim> Jesus, this is cool.
[09:08] <theadmin> almoxarife: ?
[09:08] <spim> I think I'm falling in love with Linux.
[09:08] <spim> A little at least.
[09:08] <jasef> coolstar-ipod: ... what are you doing?
[09:08] <coolstar-ipod> jadef: that restarts the gnome panel
[09:08] <spim> Also, stupid question perhaps, but is it possible to give Linux/Ubuntu unorthodox screen resolutions?
[09:09] <theadmin> jasef: (s)he's firing random suggestions which make no sense... With one word, trolling
[09:09] <spim> That don't conform to 4:3 or 16:9.
[09:09] <coolstar-ipod> spim: yes
[09:09] <spim> Is that a bad thing?
[09:09] <theadmin> spim: Yeah, just add them manually to xorg.conf, but I don't see a point
[09:09] <coolstar-ipod> spim: No
[09:09] <etu_> theadmin: lol, yup, 14 plugins
[09:09] <spim> theadmin: The point is that I'm accessing it from my iPad, so I want the screen res to fit my window.
[09:09] <jasef> theadmin: I know, it was really more of a rhetoric question.
[09:09] <Kimble> Hey. I'm bored and looking to remove unnecessary processes from ps aux. I run 11.10 on a laptop with one built-in SATA HDD, and two attached USB flash drives. I notice 8 scsi_eh processes, 0 through 7. Do I need all these?
[09:09] <jasef> coolstar-ipod: I KNOW what it does, I can see the command.
[09:10] <jasef> coolstar-ipod: Stop answering questions, seriously. You're not helping anyone. There was absolutely no reason to kill gnome-panel.
[09:10] <llutz_> coolstar-ipod: in german we'd say "Nuhr!". so pls stop
[09:10] <theadmin> llutz_: How do you even read that? lol
[09:10] <coolstar-ipod> jasef: that command worked for me since forever......
[09:11] <Corey> spim: Firstly, I'm doing something similar.  The iPad3 will help this.
[09:11] <coolstar-ipod> Just satin
[09:11] <etu_> theadmin: Not to mention 13 extensions. No wonder it's slow.
[09:11] <theadmin> etu_: lol
[09:11] <brodock> Kimble: I don't use ps aux a lot, but htop. Are you sure that they are process and not just "forked process" nor "threads"? At htop we can hide they very easily
[09:11] <jasef> coolstar-ipod: Yes, the command -works- but it doesn't work to fix the message that spim was getting.
[09:11] <spim> Corey: iPad 3? Has it even been announced?
[09:11] <Corey> spim: Secondly, I do everything via GNU screen and the console, so I can't lend much wisdom on the GUI side.
[09:11] <etu_> theadmin: The ridiculous list: http://pastebin.com/TYGww0UF :-D
[09:11] <Corey> spim: No, but it's going to have better resolution.
[09:11] <Corey> spim: Release in probably two months or less.
[09:11] <IamTrying> Does this sound card work with Ubuntu? http://www.trust.com/products/product.aspx?ProductCategory=SOUND&ProductGroup=SOUNDCARDS&artnr=14134
[09:12] <theadmin> etu_: lol
[09:12] <spim> Corey: Cool.
[09:12] <Corey> spim: http://yieldthought.com/post/12239282034/swapped-my-macbook-for-an-ipad
[09:12] <etu_> theadmin: Now for going through and figuring out which ones are the culpritsŌĆ” :-P
[09:12] <spim> Well, I don't mind having a low resolution.
[09:12] <spim> I just want it to fit the window is all
[09:12] <spim> Because this VNC app has a bunch of toolbars.
[09:12] <Kimble> brodock: sorry, what I mean is I'd like to kill unnecessary processes entirely, not just hide them. Is it safe to blacklist some of these scsi modules?
[09:12] <Slart> IamTrying: you did try googling for it before you asked us, right?
[09:13] <brodock> Kimble, well, do you have any scsi device plugged on?
[09:13] <jasef> spim: Well, my laptop's default resolution is 1024x600, but it can display in 1024x768, it just looks kinda weird. Only Windows offers it by default though, but it helps sometimes when windows are to tall to fit on my screen (happens a lot with configuration windows in Ubuntu)
[09:13] <brodock> Kinble if not, I'm pretty much sure that there will not have any side effect
[09:14] <spim> jasef: yeah, i don't want it to look weird
[09:14] <jasef> spim: What's your default resolution?
[09:14] <spim> I don't know. I'm on an iPad.
[09:14] <spim> So I want to set my VNC server up to run on the same res
[09:14] <Kimble> brodock: no, not a single one. But doesn't linux do something funny like equate SCSI to SATA somehow?  I'm sure I've come across SCSI drivers being somehow involved with SATA on linux.
[09:15] <Guest58576> ada orang indonesia,,?
[09:15] <jasef> spim: Oh. Well, I think upping the resolution wouldn't help, in my experience VNC clients just let you scroll, they don't scale it out.
[09:15] <theadmin> etu_: lol not bad, these are mine: http://i.imm.io/eNLh.png
[09:16] <jasef> Kimble: Yes, my SATA drive is mapped as SCSI, I believe.
[09:16] <etu_> theadmin: hehe. That looks like plenty
[09:16] <Kimble> jasef: ah, thank you. I knew linux was funny that way :)
[09:16] <spim> jasef: My client scrolls.
[09:16] <spim> You can pinch and zoom
[09:16] <spim> however, I just got it to run in fullscreen
[09:16] <spim> so it's OK now :)
[09:16] <brodock> Kimble: well, not sure about it, but I think you have a point. They all use the same /dev starting words
[09:16] <theadmin> etu_: pm? lol
[09:16] <IamTrying> Slart, yes search shows that it does not support, some says does support , confusing. How do i verify it supports before purchase is there any database i can search to find the product id or etc?
[09:17] <theadmin> etu_: We went a bit offtopic
[09:17] <etu_> theadmin: hmm, good point :-S
[09:17] <theadmin> !hardwaresupport | IamTrying
[09:17] <theadmin> Bah
[09:17] <theadmin> !hardware | IamTrying
[09:17] <Slart> IamTrying: I didn't find anything suggesting it worked.. just lots of "doesn't work" or "just outputs distorted sound" posts..
[09:17] <theadmin> Ubottu really should understand what I want better xD
[09:17] <jasef> spim: Alrighty, I better go have my dinner, so have fun.
[09:18] <jocker_> cek
[09:18] <jasef> ubottu: You say that now. Eventually, someone will make you emergent.
[09:18] <spim> Thanks jasef.
[09:18] <spim> And everyone else who helped, like theadmin and Corey.
[09:18] <Slart> IamTrying: you can try connecting the soundcard and then running the command "lsusb" in a terminal.. it will give you a list of connected usb-devices with a usb id in the first column..  something like 1234:5678 try googling for that id
[09:18] <spim> Much appreciated.
[09:18] <Kimble> so, can anyone enlighten me as to why I have 8 scsi_eh modules loaded on my laptop? Are they all required?
[09:19] <jocker_> please help me,, i want to study SQLi,,, anyone can help me,,,?
[09:19] <theadmin> Kimble: Most likely they're just threads
[09:20] <coolstar-ipod> jocker: try #sql...?
[09:20] <Kimble> theadmin: ah, understood. Thanks.
[09:20] <jocker_> coolstar-ipod : where,,,?
[09:20] <coolstar-ipod> jocker_: /join #sql
[09:21] <jocker_> i dont understand what you means brother,,?
[09:21] <jocker_> oyeh i understand
[09:21] <jocker_> thanks
[09:22] <thisistheaussiet> I added the daily ppa for software centre, updated it and ran dist-upgrade and it still says that the package is kept back. Why?
[09:22] <spim> Btw one last question, the server I'm running has like, 512mb RAM.
[09:22] <spim> Should I run Ubuntu on it?
[09:22] <n0x00> jocker_ https://www.owasp.org/index.php/SQL_Injection
[09:23] <Kimble> Can anyone enlighten me as to the importance of the following modules: netns; kblockd; ecryptfs-kthrea; crypto?
[09:23] <coolstar-ipod> spim: if you want a lightweight distro, Ubuntu Server. For a GUI server, Xubuntu
[09:23] <jocker_> n0x00 : thanks bro
[09:23] <spim> Well, if I want to run vanilla ubuntu
[09:23] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: ?????
[09:23] <spim> with unity and all that
[09:23] <spim> what would you recommend?
[09:23] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: xubuntu
[09:23] <Isenn> Where is this repo found now? (deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic)
[09:23] <spim> Like, how much RAM?
[09:24] <Slart> !karmic
[09:24] <Slart> Isenn: check that link from ubottu.. it might some info on that
[09:25] <coolstar-ipod> spim: Xubuntu only needs 128 MB to run so you'll have plenty. Unity is laggy on my computer with 3 GB of memory, so I doubt you want it on 1/2 of a GB
[09:25] <Isenn> Yeah, i know it's "dead" but i still need to get some old packages .. and ubottu didn't state if it's relocated
[09:25] <coolstar-ipod> spim: I was talkin about RAM btw
[09:26] <spim> coolstar-ipod: Alright.
[09:26] <Slart> Isenn: no, I kind of hoped it would.. hang on.. let me see if I can find it
[09:26] <spim> Man, if it won't even run on 3 gigs that's pretty bad. :(
[09:26] <rfx> In previous Ubuntu versions I was able to customize the top bar, putting in cpu/net usage; now it only has predefined actions on the top right but I unable to figure out how I can add those, I think they where called applets?, there. Any hint? thx
[09:27] <rfx> (Using 11.10 64bit)
[09:27] <coolstar-ipod> spim: that's why I dumped unity for KDE
[09:27] <Slart> Isenn: try the repos mentioned here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[09:28] <jigo> can anyone know best mac theme for ubuntu 11.10?
[09:28] <coolstar-ipod> jigo: Cairo-dock for a part of it
[09:29] <pangolin> !themes
[09:29] <jigo> can anyone know best mac theme for ubuntu 11.10?;
[09:29] <jigo> thanx
[09:29] <coolstar-ipod> !patience | jigo
[09:30] <spim> coolstar-ipod: I'm not a big fan of trying solutions that sort of stray from popular/vanilla distros.
[09:30] <spim> Because they usually don't feel as polished.
[09:30] <spim> Is Unity going to be standard from now on?
[09:30] <ikonia> jigo: the mac theme "macbuntu" is available, however I'd strongly advise against it due to the problems it has caused users in the past
[09:30] <spim> Or is it merely a test.
[09:31] <ikonia> spim: unity is the default ubuntu desktop going forward
[09:31] <spim> Okay.
[09:31] <theadmin> spim: It's going to be the standard dekstop for Ubuntu, Ubuntu TV and Ubuntu Liquid.
[09:31] <theadmin> spim: Try Xubuntu if you want something gnome2-like
[09:31]  * coolstar-ipod is hoping Unity is fixed in Ubuntu 12.04
[09:31] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: you've said that many times - stop
[09:32] <jazz9> Hello, anyone know how to downgrade lucid-updates/main openjdk-6-jre-lib 6b20-1.9.10-0ubuntu1~10.04.2 to a previous version on 10.04 server ?
[09:32] <spim> theadmin: Okay.
[09:32] <spim> Thanks pals.
[09:33] <theadmin> jazz9: We don't support downgardes, however, look if the previous version is still hanging somewhere in /var/cache/apt/archives
[09:33] <zennig> downgrade
[09:33] <jazz9> hmm, its a fresh install... so its not in there
[09:33] <coolstar-ipod> theadmin: what's Ubuntu liquid?
[09:33] <trijntje> How can I find out which repository a certain program (virtualbox) is located in?
[09:34] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: Ubuntu for phones (not out yet)
[09:34] <jazz9> The app that I run doesn't support the latest version
[09:34] <n2diy> I've been working on getting message notification sounds working, I have Thunderbird working, can someone send me a message here with my nick, to test xchat?

[09:36] <n2diy> Slart, ah ok, thanks.
[09:36] <Slart> Isenn: ah.. good.. those repos don't get any upgades though.. just a warning
[09:36] <Isenn> I know, it's just for PHP 5.2 i need it
[09:36] <Slart> Isenn: no worries then.. just thought I would give you the heads up =)
[09:37] <zennig> thx!

[09:46] <noris> i will ask jim what this is
[09:46] <selite> jutnux: I didn't repeat the question. Are you blind or something?
[09:47] <jutnux> selite: Was just for reference.
[09:49] <CaptainQuirk> Hi
[09:50] <RaTTuS|BIG> lo
[09:50] <selite> Hello, kdevelop doesn't save when I adjust the font and line numbers can someone help me out?
[09:50] <CaptainQuirk> I'm using screen multiplexer and I can't find the command to display a prompt in a newly created region of a window
[09:50] <RaTTuS|BIG> CaptainQuirk - terminal
[09:53] <CaptainQuirk> RaTTuS|BIG, I did C-a tab to switch in the newly created region then C-a : to enter screen command line and typed "terminal"
[09:53] <CaptainQuirk> It says unknown command
[09:53] <MonkeyDust> terminal is not a command
[09:54] <RaTTuS|BIG> CaptainQuirk - try ctrl-alt-t or even gnome-terminal
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> i havent followed, what are you trying?
[09:54] <CaptainQuirk> I split the window vertically
[09:54] <CaptainQuirk> I have a new region without terminal prompt
[09:55] <CaptainQuirk> I would like to have one so I can use commands in the second region
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> i did that with c-a | , but i didnt like it
[09:55] <CaptainQuirk> c-a | splits the window but does'nt prompt with usual shell prompt
[09:56] <overclucker> are we talking about screen?
[09:57] <CaptainQuirk> yes
[09:57] <CaptainQuirk> found it, it's c-a c
[09:57] <overclucker> c-a c will start a terminal in the current container
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> i use byobu/screen
[10:00] <inkernod> hi
[10:00] <inkernod> have you ever used a bt phone in ubuntu for thetering
[10:00] <Myrtti> inkernod: Nokia phones, yes
[10:00] <Myrtti> inkernod: this was years ago tho, the cable is a lot more dependable
[10:01] <Laibcoms> back (was Laibeus_Lord), it was miredo.  After uninstalling teredo, connection on my desktop is back.  Not sure if my ISP blocked it or something, they're preparing to roll-out IPv6ŌĆ”
[10:01] <overclucker> don't forget c-a S
[10:01] <Laibcoms> thanks again ^_^
[10:01] <inkernod> Myrtti: im tring to make i work under bt5 but i cant
[10:02] <Myrtti> inkernod: well you can try asking in their channel

[10:03] <faryshta> !wget
[10:03] <overclucker> faryshta: export http_proxy nad https_proxy, they are envionment variables
[10:04] <Myrtti> inkernod: no, it's BT5
[10:04] <faryshta> overclucker, I get this error when I tried. ERROR 501: Tor is not an HTTP Proxy.
[10:05] <inkernod> ok tnks
[10:05] <Bat> How may create a unix ffmpeg that works on every sort of linux distro?
[10:05] <overclucker> faryshta: ah, riight
[10:05] <overclucker> gotta use it as a sock proxy, i forgot
[10:05] <faryshta> overclucker, how?
[10:05] <ikonia> Bat: you can't really as each linux distribution is slightly different
[10:05] <llutz_> faryshta: tsocks or socksify
[10:06] <faryshta> overclucker, I already set SOCKS_PROXY variable.
[10:06] <faryshta> !tsocks
[10:06] <faryshta> !socksify
[10:07] <faryshta> llutz, how do I use them?
[10:07] <pangolin> !msgthebot > faryshta
[10:07] <html> inkernod, backtrack is ubuntu based
[10:08] <faryshta> pangolin, already tried ubottu
[10:08] <overclucker> faryshta: an easier alternative would be to use curl
[10:08] <pangolin> faryshta: ok well please use /msg ubottu to search
[10:09] <Bat>  If i say to you that im running a simll├Īr to ffmpeg on windows on every linux rekeases statically? what you say?
[10:09] <faryshta> pangolin, already did -.-
[10:09] <faryshta> overclucker, never used curl, let me check.
[10:10] <overclucker> faryshta: curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 http://icanhazip.com -o filename
[10:12] <jolaren> I get error when trying tologin to my server.. works from all other ips but mine, first it complained about keys but then I created new and then it doesnt complain about that but just says  sshd[2135]: refused connect from when trying to connect

[10:13] <cjoke> I have some ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list.d from 10.04 lucid things. I run 12.04 now. I should just delete those ?
[10:13] <stud5g> ßśō
[10:13] <metaspike> hey, what's a good way to determine cputemp from terminal?
[10:13] <stud5g> ßśö
[10:13] <pangolin> stud5g: please stop
[10:14] <Slart> metaspike: tried lm-sensors?
[10:14] <Slart> !sensors
[10:14] <metaspike> gah must fix router :p
[10:14] <Bat> I have a static ffmpeg unix that run on every sort of linux distros
[10:15] <metaspike> thanks, im using boinc to donate some power to the projects abroad, but dont want to cook my cpu in the process
[10:15] <Bat> what you say?
[10:15] <faryshta> where does chromium store its cookies?
[10:15] <Bat> say any
[10:16] <cjoke> is there a wasy way of finding out what repository a package come from CLI?
[10:16] <html> faryshta,  if thats a joke , its funny
[10:17] <html> !cli
[10:17] <Slart> faryshta: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1841901/cookie-file-for-google-chrome-unix
[10:17] <html> !repository
[10:17] <cjoke> what is the best way if finding out what packages a repository contains from CLI ? :-)
[10:17] <Slart> faryshta: not sure if that info is accurate or outdated though.. might be a good start though
[10:17] <faryshta> Slart, thanks.
[10:17] <Bat> ?
[10:18] <rigved> cjoke: apt-cache search <pattern>
[10:18] <pangolin> cjoke: apt-cache show package
[10:18] <metaspike> or use synaptic/packagesearch
[10:18] <Bat> Who is able?
[10:18] <cjoke> thanks
[10:19] <Slart> Bat: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[10:19] <Bat> I have a opinion
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> Bat  wrong channel
[10:20] <Slart> Bat: try #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion and opinions
[10:20] <metaspike> lm-sensors, sensors-detect, a couple modprobes and sensors was all it took. thanks Slart
[10:20] <deitarion> metaspike: A little something else you might want --> https://github.com/ssokolow/profile/blob/master/supplemental/cpufreqd.conf
[10:20] <Slart> metaspike: you're welcome
[10:21] <jigo> when i download apps from ubuntu software one error displayed like "Requires installation of untrusted packages" how can i solve the error..???
[10:21] <metaspike> also that thanks deitarion.
[10:22] <metaspike> jigo, i think it might has something to do with GPG authentication key missing something or a rather. tried - apt-get update from terminal?
[10:22] <jigo> i tried aptget update but still....
[10:23] <metaspike> it sounds more like a warning than an error
[10:23] <jigo> ya
[10:24] <jigo> i tried aptget update but still....its not working
[10:24] <varikonniemi> how come i do not need to enter a password when updating with update manager
[10:24] <jigo> when i download apps from ubuntu software one error displayed like "Requires installation of untrusted packages" how can i solve the error..???
[10:25] <Bat> ffmpeg linux equal ffmpeg windows anyone has done dis?
[10:25] <varikonniemi> you have not added the gpg key for some ppa
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> varikonniemi  either you are in a live session, or the password was entered less than 10 minutes earlier
[10:25] <jigo> how can i add gpg key
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> varikonniemi  in a terminal, that is
[10:26] <varikonniemi> MonkeyDust, i just woke up, so i have certainly not entered the password in hours and hours
[10:26] <Slart> jigo: either through terminal or in the software sources settings thingy
[10:26] <adi_> ulist
[10:26] <jigo> ok
[10:27] <deitarion> Bat: You're not making any sense.
[10:27] <adi_> ulist
[10:27] <Bat> ffmpeg
[10:27] <varikonniemi> and i have noticed this lack of password on all my 11.10 machines, for the last some months
[10:27] <MonkeyDust> Bat  wrong channel
[10:28] <Bat> ffmpeg linux equal ffmpeg windows not dreaming ha?
[10:29] <Bat> Without wine too
[10:29] <html> MonkeyDust,  we still support it somewhat  and he can be  here... that how i got it is here
[10:29] <ikonia> Bat: what are you talking about ?
[10:29] <Slart> Bat: I'm sure it is wonderful in all kinds of ways but this channel is for ubuntu user to user support. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:29] <html> bat ?
[10:30] <ikonia> Bat: is this somehow related to ubuntu
[10:30] <deitarion> Bat: Your English is nonsense.
[10:30] <Bat> But still have a problem with ffplay
[10:30] <ikonia> Bat: what is your question for the ubuntu support channel you are in
[10:31] <html> !ffmpeg
[10:31] <html> Bat,  what do you want to do with ffmpeg?
[10:31] <AdvoWork> if ive got 8GB of files(1000's of files) is there a way I can speciify a size of say 3GB and split all of those files into folders of that size?
[10:32] <deitarion> AdvoWork: Do they need to be ordered or grouped in any specific way?
[10:32] <ikonia> AdvoWork: you could use du to get the sizes, bc to add up the files and when they hit 3036 copy that list of files into folder 1, and repeat
[10:32] <Bat> Any supporter has done a ffmpeg linux equal dis is on windows? unix nothing more
[10:33] <deitarion> I think Bat is somehow under the misconception that ffmpeg for Linux is an inferior port of ffmpeg for Windows.
[10:33] <AdvoWork> deitarion, no, aslong as the file names stay the same(as they are recorded conversations (timestamped filenames)
[10:33] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  use the find command and filter the files on size, cp them to a map
[10:33] <ikonia> Bat: you are in #ubuntu, and ubuntu support channel, do you have a question regarding ubuntu that you need help with yes/no
[10:33] <deitarion> AdvoWork: `apt-get install gaffitter`. It's a tool that, given a list of files, will spit out sublists to efficiently fit them to volumes of a specified size.
[10:35] <Bat> Im trying to display the future
[10:35] <deitarion> I'm thinking either Bat is a troll or his grasp of English is too poor for us to help him.
[10:36] <LjL> Bat, i think #ubuntu-br could help you better, they speak portuguese there
[10:36] <jigo> anyone know some funny server for telnet
[10:36] <LjL> !ot | jigo
[10:36] <Bat> A simple ffmpeg bin on linux hoW a simple ffmpeg bin on windows ha?
[10:37] <faryshta> Bat,  I don't understand your question.
[10:37] <sipior> Bat: are you asking how to take a linux binary of ffmpeg and run it under windows?
[10:38] <deitarion> I think he's actually asking how to compile a static, single-file ffmpeg binary.
[10:38] <html> Bat,  what do you want? ffmpeg  install  here it is...       http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[10:38] <Bat> some day you may understand
[10:39] <metaspike> download ffmpeg source, get full dependencies then cross compile with mingw32 - would be ok i guess, but it wouldn't display the future

[10:39] <MonkeyDust> Bat  has invented a Windows equivalent to ffmpeg, that's what he is saying
[10:39] <Bat> I have ffmpeg dont need
[10:39] <LjL> Bat: Sinto muito em dizer isso, mas as pessoas aqui (inclusive eu) n├Żo entende o seu Ingl├¬s. Join #ubuntu-br para obter suporte em Portugu├¬s, por favor.
[10:40] <Bat> you very well understood!

[10:42] <deitarion> If so, he needs to look at http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

[10:44] <llutz_> James13433: do you run procmail or similar, delivering mails into users home or whereever?
[10:44] <Stormx2> faryshta, what are you trying to do?
[10:45] <html> LjL,  but did you see all the helping hands that try to get him to here he need to be?
[10:45] <James13433> to be honest llutz I don't know. I just know I login wiht webmail.domain.com and use that
[10:45] <faryshta> Stormx2, use curl with a socks proxy to connect tor.

[10:49] <LjL> Yozap: and you say that after asking a question and waiting two minutes? maybe it's true, but that doesn't seem enough to judge.

[10:54] <Yozap> My problem I have is that the hotkeys for brightness just randomly switch between completely dark or little light, no good light. Ive tried doing a bios update, and ive tried install the xbacklight packadge with no great success of better light, the pc i am running is Asus EEE 1000P with fully 100% installed Ubuntu 11.04 with no other OS. What should i do to get better light?
[10:54] <faryshta> What does this error means? curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (4)

[10:56] <deitarion> faryshta: Tor?
[10:57] <html> rrr!!
[10:57] <faryshta> deitarion, yes.
[10:57] <LjL> Yozap: already been through this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1412922 ?
[10:57] <xaashi> rigved: thanks
[10:58] <deitarion> faryshta: I've used Tor and I wish I could help, but it just worked for me the last time I did and I never needed to use curl (downThemAll! or wget for me), so all I know is what I've said.
[10:59] <faryshta> deitarion, how do you use wget with tor?
[10:59] <rigved> xaashi: you are welcome.
[10:59] <faryshta> deitarion, tried HTTP_PROXY but it no longer works with wget.
[11:00] <deitarion> faryshta: I forget, but probably HTTP_PROXY. It was a while ago. Let me see if Google has anything.
[11:00] <LjL> faryshta: maybe you should try http_proxy instead, i'm no longer sure which one of the two is correct...
[11:01] <faryshta> LjL, I get this error when I tried. ERROR 501: Tor is not an HTTP Proxy.
[11:01] <llutz_> faryshta: curl -x socks5://localhost:9050  http://site.com
[11:01] <faryshta> llutz, let me try :)
[11:02] <llutz_> tor is not a http_proxy, as the error states
[11:02] <LjL> faryshta: i think you should chain tor to privoxy
[11:02] <deitarion> faryshta: I think, at the time, I was using privoxy to bridge the gap.
[11:02] <deitarion> Either that, or you could use Polipo in non-caching mode.
[11:02] <deitarion> http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/

[11:07] <mbutubuntu> hello folks, where is the X conf file on Ubuntu 10.04 ?!
[11:08] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: it's removed as it's dynamic
[11:09] <faryshta> LjL, deitarion how do I use privoxy with wget or curl?
[11:11] <Yozap> LjL: Thanks, I have now fixed my screen brightness!
[11:11] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, I've a problem with Video playing... I have a dual-head configuration and I haven't updated any package but yesterday I see "cutted" videos on the big (Full HD) Monitor. It seems that viewable size with vlc (and all players, ffplay too) is less than the whole screen.
[11:12] <LjL> Yozap: nice
[11:12] <LjL> faryshta: for wget, you put localhost:port in http_proxy, i don't remember the default port though
[11:12] <deitarion> faryshta: Same way you tried to use Tor with curl... but with Privoxy sitting between Tor and curl, you won't get "ERROR 501: Tor is not an HTTP Proxy".
[11:12] <mbutubuntu> xsessiox-errors doesn't give me any useful information so I don't know how to solve this problem
[11:13] <deitarion> s/curl/wget/
[11:13] <deitarion> faryshta: Do you need help with setting up Privoxy or just with pointing wget or curl at it?
[11:13] <faryshta> LjL, doesn't work. It sends a 501 error since tor isn't an http proxy anymore.
[11:13] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, even if dynamic I think exist any utility or [temp]file in which I can see the problem.... ! I've used this Ubuntu configuration for months but yesterday appered the problem
[11:14] <deitarion> faryshta: You misunderstand.
[11:14] <deitarion> faryshta: You point wget or curl at the port for Privoxy and then point Privoxy at the port for Tor.
[11:14] <faryshta> deitarion, anything that works :) I want to download files from tor using wget or curl.
[11:14] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: what ?
[11:14] <faryshta> deitarion, how do I do that?
[11:15] <LjL> faryshta: you mustn't put the *tor* port there, but the *privoxy* port. look at the privoxy config file (/etc/privoxy.conf i suppose) to find out what it is
[11:15] <deitarion> faryshta: http://yoodey.com/using-http-proxy-tor-privoxy-ubuntu-natty-1104
[11:15] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, what problem? about a third of the second screen is viewable, but not viewable with videos... I haven't compiz.
[11:16] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: I have no idea what you are talking about, I've not been talking to you / helping you
[11:18] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, you're right but you said that the Screen configuration is dynamic. I can't think there is no way to watch the configuration...!

[11:18] <sweet>  i have an external hard disck and  when iam trying to mount in ubuntu 10.10 it is not possible to mount when i was try to sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/my external hard disck name after that when i hit enter it display "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" please help me?
[11:18] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: it will read the file if it's there, if not it goes to dynamic
[11:18] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: just create a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:19] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, ooohhh, so the conffile is always /etc/x11/xorg.conf... wonderful
[11:19] <Guest39990> real problem
[11:19] <Guest39990> ikonia is right
[11:19] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: if you create a file in that location it will get read
[11:19] <LjL> sweet: that's not a good sign, but are you very sure sdb1 is the right partition? try doing "sudo file -s /dev/sdb1"
[11:19] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:19] <sweet>  i have an external hard disck and  when iam trying to mount in ubuntu 10.10 it is not possible to mount when i was try to sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/my external hard disck name after that when i hit enter it display "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" please help me?

[11:20] <th^2> what would be the most effective way to make ubuntu faster?
[11:20] <LjL> th^2: getting a faster computer
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> th^2  not using compiz / eye candy
[11:20] <th^2> LjL, idiot
[11:20] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, yes the X is uppcase
[11:21] <LjL> th^2: language and respect, please kthx
[11:21] <th^2> MonkeyDust, well im using 2d
[11:21] <AreEssay> Hello. My wireless functionality on the latest Ubuntu is non-existent. Can anyone help me get it fixed?
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> th^2  using a different / lighter desktop environment
[11:22] <deitarion> th^2: Have you tried using LXDE via `apt-get install lubuntu-desktop`?
[11:22] <deitarion> That's about the lightest desktop environment you can get without MacGyvering up something yourself from bits and pieces.
[11:22] <sweet> LjL:when i try "sudo file -s /dev/sdb1" it display /dev/sdb1: DOS executable (COM)
[11:23] <LjL> sweet: uuuuh.
[11:23] <th^2> MonkeyDust, yes that maybe the best way. wanted to know if theres any known issues
[11:23] <LjL> sweet: virus? i don't know, that really should have told you about the partition type. have you used that drive under windows?
[11:23] <LjL> sweet: what filesystem is it *supposed* to contain?
[11:23] <th^2> deitarion, X11 you mean?
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> th^2  and install preload and add vm.swappiness = 10 to sysctl.conf

[11:24] <MonkeyDust> !gr| Kost68
[11:24] <LjL> MonkeyDust: wasn't greek
[11:24] <th^2> MonkeyDust, hmm my swappiness is very small always.
[11:24] <deitarion> th^2: X11 is the graphical subsystem on which all full-featured X11 desktops depend. Using it in this context isn't really meaningful.
[11:25] <LjL> almoxarife: please don't CTCP people randomly :)
[11:25] <sweet> LjL:i  do no the file sysytem  but the hard disck name is " my passport"
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> th^2  preload loads the most frequently used applications faster
[11:25] <Kost68> Joined #ubuntu-ru
[11:25] <th^2> deitarion, sub-system? like unity? :S
[11:25] <onre> th^2, you might try using some very lightweight window manager on top of X11, such as xmonad, twm, etc
[11:26] <LjL> sweet: maybe sdb1 is some kind of special partition. try mounting sdb2 instead?
[11:26] <th^2> MonkeyDust, i may need to take a look at that
[11:26] <juniour1> hi
[11:26] <juniour1> hi
[11:26] <deitarion> th^2: How much do you know about how a Linux desktop is put together?
[11:26] <Kost68> ąöčĆą░ą╣ą▓ąĄčĆą░
[11:26] <onre> th^2, that way you lose the "desktop metaphor" functionality but still have windowing, so you can run graphical applications and terminals
[11:26] <LjL> Kost68: /join #ubuntu-ru
[11:26] <juniour1> i want to browse ubuntu home folder in in win 7 how to do this.........??
[11:27] <onre> th^2, be warned though, most of these window managers are configured by editing text files :)
[11:27] <th^2> deitarion, theres the X server :D
[11:27] <juniour1> i have installed ubuntu 10.10 via wubi
[11:28] <juniour1> and i wanna browse yhe home folder of ubuntu 10.10 in win 7
[11:28] <juniour1> can nay one help me here
[11:28] <th^2> onre, well maybe I just switch to lubuntu because my PC isnt the oldest possible. quad core and everything
[11:28] <deitarion> th^2: The X server handles managing access to the screen, keyboard, and mouse between multiple applications. On top of that, you have a window manager (draws window borders, handles focus, resizing, and dragging, etc.)
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> juniour1  i guess you need explore2fs
[11:29] <onre> th^2, sure, whatever suits you. i used twm from '90s until 2008 or so, and still occasionally consider switching back to it because of its speed and lightness ;)
[11:29] <deitarion> th^2: You also have a program which draws your desktop icons (if you have them) and a program which draws your panels (launcher menu, task bar, etc.)
[11:29] <juniour1> Monkey Dust idient got you man
[11:29] <juniour1> ??/
[11:29] <juniour1> explain briefly
[11:29] <deitarion> juniour1: Windows doesn't normally understand Linux hard drives. There's a program for Windows called explore2fs that can read them.
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> juniour1  explore2fs is win program you can use to read ext partitions
[11:30] <th^2> deitarion, so in basic ubuntu installation theres xserver and top of that unity? what else?
[11:30] <th^2> onre, looks pretty old :D
[11:31] <deitarion> th^2: Unity is the panel program. The window manager is Compiz. Last I checked, the desktop icons were drawn by Nautilus. There's also a bunch of other components. All of them are heavy because they value glitz.
[11:31] <onre> th^2, yup, i just configured it so that menus, window list and window decorations were black and different shades of green. one non-computer-oriented friend commented something about my computer being "just like they are in the movies" :p
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> juniour1  on your own risk http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/media/explore2fs-1.07.zip
[11:32] <th^2> deitarion, its funny because linux is considered as light weight alternative for windows..
[11:32] <deitarion> th^2: SOME Linux is considered a light-weight alternative.
[11:32] <th^2> onre, :D maybe i boot to that when my friends come to visit
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> !pm
[11:33] <deitarion> th^2: The combination of Unity and Compiz is trying to compete with Windows and MacOS for graphical glitz, so it's not lightweight.
[11:33] <habanany> I need help , anybody can tell me how to apply this on my HTC EVO 3d [06:26] (372) :- SSC Networks (www.ssc.no) for sponsoring this server!
[11:33] <th^2> deitarion, to me basic ubuntu doesnt seem to be any faster than win7...
[11:34] <LjL> th^2: well if people told you it would be, they weren't particularly right.
[11:34] <deitarion> th^2: It probably isn't... but it was faster than Vista and, if you start into something lighter than Unity+Compiz, it WILL be faster.
[11:34] <habanany> Si tienes problemas al escuchar el audio, abre cualquier reproductor de MP3, y utiliza la opcion de abrir URL y coloca la siguiente direccion mms://media.enet.cu/radiorebelde
[11:34] <deitarion> th^2: KDE 4 is about as heavy as Unity+Compiz, so that's out.. but Xfce is as light as GNOME 2 and LXDE is even lighter.
[11:35] <habanany> Help
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> !es| habanany
[11:36] <mbutubuntu> how to know what video driver is using X ?
[11:36] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: it's in the log
[11:37] <mbutubuntu> .xsession-erros ?
[11:37] <mbutubuntu> or /var/log/messages?
[11:37] <deitarion> th^2: The main thing you have to understand is that what you know as "Linux" is a stack of bits and pieces that you can mix and match. Replace the heavy bits and your system will look more plain, but be faster.
[11:38] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: the xorg log
[11:38] <mbutubuntu> ok
[11:38] <th^2> deitarion, yes im aware of that. have been using zenlinux on my laptop for 2 years. its pretty fast but not suitable for desktop
[11:39] <habanany> Thanks obottu
[11:40] <deitarion> th^2: Give LXDE a try with `apt-get install lubuntu-desktop`. That's reasonably polished (I use it as my only desktop interface) and quite light. If it turns out you need something a little more polished, explore `apt-get install xubuntu-desktop`. You can mix and match components from the two to get the feature set you want. (eg. Xfce devs explicitly refuse to implement tabbing in their file manager)
[11:41] <jolaren> I get connection refused when I try to connect from my work laptop.. it has always worked well before, but I tried to fiddle with keys and then removing them causing my server to refuse the connection.

[11:43] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: if you want it, wait for it to finish
[11:43] <ubuntuaddicted> deitarion, any special syntax?
[11:43] <deitarion> ubuntuaddicted: Nope. Just run it.
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, i don't know what it's backing up, plain and simple.
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> deitarion, thanks
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> will check  it out
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: it's not backing anythign up
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: it's gzipping something you've told it to
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: it's probably log rotation if it's an automatic process
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, sigh, it's archiing something and I don't know what. understand now?
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: no, as you're not being clear
[11:45] <deitarion> ikonia: He didn't explicitly start gzip and he wants to know what's going on.
[11:45] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: if this is an automated process that you didn't start, it will be something like log rotate, and a simple "ps -ef | grep gzip" will show what the command it's running is
[11:45] <ubuntuaddicted> deitarion, thank you, that answered my question. appreciate your help. have a good day

[11:51] <LedM> windows libraries run statically, ubuntu libraries run in tra-shared libraries in lib dir, and i broke the tra-shared, in ubuntu turning the .so libraries into a container how windows use UNDRSTND??
[11:52] <ikonia> LedM: no, try #ffmpeg
[11:52] <ikonia> LedM: or #ubuntu-br
[11:52] <htmlinprogress> ikonia, ok
[11:52] <LedM> ubuntu is a mistake windows trying to seduct with lib dir
[11:52] <xsl> hi there, is it possible with the CD of xubuntu make a default install on a RAID1 configuration?
[11:53] <ikonia> LedM: #ubuntu-br or #ffmpeg please - last warning
[11:53] <LedM> xsl yes
[11:53] <htmlinprogress> ot!
[11:53] <ikonia> xsl: depends on the raid type
[11:53] <xsl> LedM: im missing out something, i didnt see the place where i can define the raid
[11:53] <ikonia> xsl: hardware raid, sure, software raid no, fakeraid, most likley not depending on the device
[11:54] <xsl> ikonia: i wanted MDADM raid ( software raid )
[11:54] <aum___> Hello everyone, i have manually remove gnome packages from ubuntu because i wanted a command line system, its booting fine but if have to press "Alt + Ctrl + f1" to go to command line . is there any way to do this automatically , like changing runlevel or something ?
[11:54] <LedM> in a new server ext2
[11:54] <ikonia> xsl: you'll need to use the alternative install CD for that
[11:54] <deitarion> !repeat | aum___
[11:54] <xsl> ikonia: its all command line install right?
[11:54] <LjL> aum___: removing the login manager doesn't suffice?
[11:54] <ikonia> xsl: no, it's ncurses menu drive, quite easy
[11:55] <xsl> ikonia: ok ty... going to take a look
[11:55] <xsl> btw.... on a raid1 configuration (2 discs no hotspare) - if one disk breaks .. the system still boots up right?
[11:55] <ikonia> xsl: correct
[11:55] <aum___> LjL , Now the size of my desktop is "726 MB" so i think i have removed sufficient  thing ...
[11:56] <LjL> aum___: eh, if the login manager is still there, you will still get a graphical login prompt. "sudo apt-get remove lightdm" or "sudo apt-get remove gdm" depending on your Ubuntu version.
[11:56] <xsl> i will need to rebuild the raid later wen i insert a new disk ( still a bit new to software raid  :P )
[11:56] <xsl> thx for your support ikonia
[11:56] <ikonia> xsl: it's one command to add a new disk and tell it to mirror across to it
[11:57] <aum___> LjL, how can gdm can reside , i have removed every instance of X server ...
[11:57] <LjL> aum___: then if you've removed X i really don't see why you'd need to press ctrl+alt+f1 to login textually... what do you *see* before pressing ctrl+alt+f1?
[11:58] <llutz_> aum___: removing gnome won't remove X
[11:58] <aum___> LjL: blank screen with a blinking "_" on on the top
[12:02] <LjL> aum___: funny. i don't know, maybe it's plymouth (the boot splash) that switches to terminal 7 or 8... try removing plymouth if you don't mind not having a splash screen
[12:05] <rooks> is there a way to add some extra option to boot parameters in ubuntu's grub2 autogened mess?
[12:06] <overclucker> aum___: have you tried out any window tilers? they beat the heck out of ttys
[12:06] <aum___> LjL, yes i have also removed plymouth themes , but when i remove plymouth it gives me warning and also try to remove mysql and linux-generic-*
[12:06] <LjL> aum___: ugh :(
[12:07] <LjL> rooks: is /etc/default/grub not enough?
[12:08] <NimeshNeema> How do i open SWF file (Shockwave flash i suppose) ? I am not too sure whether they contain code or are they like executables ?
[12:08] <rooks> LjL, that what i was looking for! thanks :)
[12:08] <LjL> aum___: tried putting "nosplash" instead of "splash" in the linux options?
[12:09] <aum___> LjL , ok let me try
[12:11] <rom4ever> hi guys
[12:11] <rom4ever> could you help me ?
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  if you're sweet
[12:12] <rom4ever> ok MonkeyDust
[12:12] <rom4ever> :)
[12:12] <[ptr]xyz> so, whats your problem?
[12:12] <rom4ever> my wonderful 11.10 works well but every time I reboot machine
[12:12] <theadmin> NimeshNeema: If you have Flash installed, open them with any browser with NPAPI support (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Chromium)
[12:12] <rom4ever> I get this error : running /scripts/init-bottom ... done adding 2096444k swap on /dev/sdb1 ecc EXT3-fs (sda2): using internal journal
[12:13] <rom4ever> and boot stops there
[12:13] <rom4ever> blinking cursor
[12:13] <rom4ever> and stop :(
[12:13] <rom4ever> so I noticed that if I start in recovery mode
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  it says ext3, i bet you're using it in combination with ext4
[12:13] <NimeshNeema> theadmin: i actually am working on source code of a web-site and found some flash files. wanted to know if i can read the code from .swf files. they open up in browser
[12:13] <rom4ever> and remount disks all goes well
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  ext4 has journalling, i think ext3 has not
[12:14] <rom4ever> but anytime I have to make same thing
[12:14] <theadmin> NimeshNeema: No, you can't, they're pretty much like compiled binaries (like Windows .exe files, for instance)
[12:14] <rom4ever> ah ok
[12:14] <NimeshNeema> theadmin: oh kewl. thanks a ton !!!
[12:14] <rom4ever> so what can I do to fix it ?
[12:14] <aum___> LjL: same blank screen with a blinking "_" on on the top
[12:14] <rom4ever> thnx MonkeyDust
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  i'd say: backup important files and format ext3 to ext4
[12:15] <aum___> LjL: ok just tell me how to boot to tty1 directly...
[12:15] <rom4ever> this machine is in production state cause it's used for monitoring...
[12:17] <rom4ever> and I don't understand why this issue is raised now
[12:18] <rom4ever> MonkeyDust: I have one only disk with 2 partition one for data and second for swap
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> and?
[12:19] <rom4ever> yes
[12:19] <g00se> I've lost count of the number of times i've used a live disk and found a problem with wireless proprietary drivers - usually Broadcom. Of course, the mandatory system restart is then impossible. Is there a standard way of packing them all into an extra partition or something?
[12:19] <noordung> Hi guys. Where can I talk to some Ubuntu (Ayatana/AppMenu) devs?
[12:21] <LjL> aum___: err, i would of course if i knew how
[12:21] <noordung> Well, its #ayatana if anyone wonders.
[12:21] <NimeshNeema> g00se: this isn't an issue with the current releases of Ubuntu
[12:21] <Nfisher> Hi all! Im in need of a terminal-chat-tool with which i can chat to a friend of mine over the net.. any recommendations?
[12:21] <LjL> Nfisher: chat over what protocol?
[12:22] <Nfisher> LjL, i want a direct connection
[12:22] <texas> hey yall
[12:22] <NimeshNeema> g00se: u can activate wireless drivers without a restart. Infact i have a Broadcom wireless chip as well
[12:22] <Nfisher> LjL, like machine-to-machine
[12:22] <texas> hey im having a crazy time with my broacom too
[12:22] <beyond> hey all
[12:23] <texas> broadcom
[12:23] <g00se> NimeshNeema: How current? I was using 11.4
[12:23] <Guest45165> hi
[12:23] <Nfisher> LjL, pretty much like netcat but more handy, since netcat cuts of the other-one typing when one issues a line
[12:23] <noordung> g00se, type "sudo modprobe <driver name>"
[12:23] <rom4ever> MonkeyDust: and nothing, only one disk
[12:23] <Guest45165> I am using oracle vmware on ubuntu
[12:23] <noordung> g00se, in the terminal, of course
[12:23] <NimeshNeema> g00se: 11.04 should work fine (as far as i remember)
[12:24] <NimeshNeema> or u can boot from a pen-drive
[12:24] <Guest45165> I want 2 add wireless interface on this vm
[12:24] <g00se> noordung: I was going to try that but wasn't sure what the module was
[12:24] <Guest45165> is it possible to add
[12:24] <texas> i have 11.04 (fresh download) but i dont have acces to a ethernet cord just the wifi in the house
[12:25] <texas> so the only way i can get online is usuing a old 10.04 live cd
[12:25] <noordung> g00se, I use the wl broadcom driver, so sudo modprobe wl usually does it for me... you can "locate bcm | grep /lib/modules" to see what other bcm drivers there are :/
[12:26] <Guest45165> I am using oracle vm on ubuntu and I want to add wireless interface on this vm
[12:26] <auronandace> Guest45165: oracle vmware? do you mean virtualbox? why do you need a wireles interface?
[12:26] <Guest45165> I added ethernet card on this vm
[12:26] <ikonia> Guest45165: you won't be able to add the wirless card directly to the vm
[12:26] <aum___> LjL, then can you please tell me who knows...
[12:26] <ikonia> Guest45165: you'll have to do a bridge
[12:26] <g00se> noordung: I wonder why the system claims to be 'downloading' it when it handles prop drivers?
[12:27] <Guest45165> ya auranadace
[12:27] <Guest45165> ya
[12:27] <Guest45165> I have bridge
[12:27] <LjL> Nfisher: i can't find anything like that, apart from a graphical "qchat" :\
[12:27] <luigi> server/Irc.crocmax.net
[12:27] <g00se> noordung: (As if it really did, locate would fail)
[12:27] <Guest74601> server/Irc.crocmax.net
[12:27] <Nfisher> LjL, me neither.. but i guess there has to be something liek it
[12:27] <noordung> g00se, hm... It must be trying all over then. BTW, make sure your Wifi's switch is on.
[12:28] <Guest45165> I run lspci  but wireless wasn't display it
[12:28] <noordung> g00se, how come?
[12:28] <g00se> noordung: Because the locate database wouldn't have been updated since the 'download'
[12:29] <noordung> g00se, "sudo updatedb" then ;)
[12:29] <texas> when i try to open jcoky for my drivers i get an error package indexes failed please check your network status  most drivers will not be available
[12:29] <texas> jockey
[12:29] <texas> im seriously about to pull my hair out
[12:29] <g00se> noordung: I wonder how it downloads without a network connection though ? ;)
[12:30] <noordung> g00se, I wonder how you want them to work without having them installed. Or am I missing something?
[12:30] <texas> any one?
[12:31] <noordung> g00se, Usually you plug in a wired LAN, let it take care of that, and then see if the drivers work
[12:31] <g00se> noordung: Well i was thinking more of copying them if they were missing
[12:31] <Guest45165> any one help me out how to add wireless interface in oracle virtualbox
[12:31] <noordung> g00se, that *can* work, but it may take you a while to get all of the dependencies right.
[12:31] <LjL> Nfisher: there is of course "talk", but it requires a daemon running
[12:31] <loculinux> lol
[12:31] <loculinux> ola
[12:32] <loculinux> ...
[12:32] <loculinux> ;x
[12:32] <loculinux> -
[12:32] <loculinux> l
[12:32] <loculinux> l
[12:32] <FloodBot1> loculinux: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:32] <noordung> texas, Jockey works over the Internet. You need to have a connection.
[12:33] <texas> then why does it work when i use my old live cd
[12:34] <Nfisher> LjL, yeah, i might read into talk a lil
[12:34] <noordung> texas, it probably isn't. just telling you that it is.
[12:34] <texas> i dont have acces to a hard line
[12:34] <g00se> noordung: Yes. It would just be a way around no network problem. I'm guessing that the 'downloading' thing is false and that they're really in the ramdisk. If so, i'll try modprobing it, though i'm surprised about the 'system requires restart' business. But of course there could be firmware issues too...
[12:35] <texas> btw im pretty green for future warning
[12:35] <noordung> g00se, "system requires restart" is an easy way of telling someone to modprobe :)
[12:35] <noordung> g00se, the kernel loads modules upon modprobe or restart.
[12:36] <texas> after removing bmwl-kernal -source i used the one thats in the restricted folder on the cd and i cant activate it
[12:36] <texas> becasue its not showing up on jockey
[12:37] <g00se> noordung: >>is an easy way of telling someone to modprobe Yes - slightly too dumbed down perhaps? ;)
[12:38] <Jne> Hello everyone.
[12:38] <texas> hey
[12:38] <Jne> Is this a chan help for ubuntu ? )for newB like me ? )
[12:38] <noordung> g00se, no not really. From a design point of view, it's the best thing ever. Telling your normal office worker to open a terminal and write "sudo modprobe" is too difficult. Making a script that does that is too risky.
[12:38] <texas> Jne know any thing about broadcom drivers
[12:38] <theadmin> Jne: Yes
[12:39] <totalanon> I've got a question for anyone who's willing to help. I've messed up something, it seems.
[12:39] <James13433> the only way to copy a dirstory to the ver root of my server /var/qmail would be with SSH right?
[12:39] <Jne> So can i read PDF v7 with xpdf on ubuntu 11.1 ?
[12:39] <theadmin> Jne: Why not try it? lol. xpdf reads pretty much everything. If not, try Okular.
[12:40] <noordung> theadmin, everything PDF on linux is based on xpdf (pretty much)
[12:40] <g00se> noordung: Maybe, yes.
[12:40] <Jne> Thanks very much !
[12:40] <theadmin> noordung: Okular does things that other readers don't seem to do though. For instance it reads cbz. Who knows...
[12:40] <totalanon> I can't use apt-get anymore. I definitely screwed something up.
[12:40] <LjL> totalanon: what's the error?
[12:40] <g00se> Actually in most cases the system reports that it's installing 'Broadcom STA' drivers. I suppose that could cover more than just one module?
[12:41] <texas> can anyone help me to get my broadcom to work on my old compaq
[12:41] <noordung> theadmin, it's PDF renderer is based on xpdf code (if not xpdf itself)
[12:41] <totalanon> 'E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list, E:The list of sources could not be read., E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
[12:41] <g00se> texas: We're just talking about Broadcom
[12:41] <LjL> totalanon: backup that file to somewhere else and remove it
[12:41] <noordung> g00se, get a connection because you cannot download drivers without any internet
[12:41] <texas> i saw that
[12:41] <totalanon> I tried adding a PPA, following a tutorial to make GNOME like ICS (Android 4).
[12:42] <LjL> totalanon: mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list ~/webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list.backup
[12:42] <texas> but came in at a point where i was lost
[12:42] <LjL> totalanon: then "sudo apt-get update"
[12:42] <texas> i can only get online using a old live cd
[12:42] <g00se> noordung: But this is where we came in ;) They must be already there as the system 'downloaded' them with no net connection - or did it?
[12:42] <texas> its a 10.04 lts
[12:43] <noordung> !broadcom g00se, texas
[12:43] <noordung> oh crap
[12:43] <noordung> !broadcom
[12:43] <noordung> g00se, texas ^^
[12:43] <theadmin> noordung: It's !fact | name
[12:44] <noordung> theadmin, thanks :)
[12:44] <texas> dude
[12:44] <g00se> OK, thanks. I'll take a look. In my case, at least, live raises the bar
[12:44] <texas> i have been through that thing 1000 times if once
[12:44] <texas> ive done the ofline steps
[12:44] <texas> and nothing
[12:44] <noordung> texas, 1. Have you established a connection to the Internet on the machine you want the drivers installed?
[12:45] <texas> i only have acess to wifi
[12:45] <AdvoWork> if im doing su user  and then mysql .......  how can I find out exactly what path its using to call mysql?
[12:45] <totalanon> @LjL It says permission denied for that file.
[12:45] <texas> but i can get it going with a live cd
[12:45] <LjL> totalanon: use sudo
[12:45] <texas> so no i have not for the 11.04 that is installed
[12:45] <theadmin> AdvoWork: which mysql
[12:46] <noordung> texas, then I don't know how much more can you do. Offline help is difficult for the dependencies. The driver needs to be built for the specific kernel. It won't work from other kernels.
[12:46] <texas> yeah i know if i could hook it up i could fix it
[12:47] <texas> but i dont have a way
[12:47] <llutz_> AdvoWork: why do you run mysql as root? "mysql -u root -p"
[12:47] <llutz_> AdvoWork: ignore me
[12:48] <ubuntuDan> test
[12:48] <noordung> texas, sorry. try and download the packages on a thumb drive, and install them manually on the machine. but that can be tricky. are you sure you cannot find any place where you can connect a LAN cable with internet to your computer?
[12:48] <glebihan> llutz_, you actually had a point even though he's not running as root
[12:48] <auronandace> !test  | ubuntuDan
[12:51] <Guest45165> can  wireless interface  manage though script like ifcfg-wlan0
[12:51] <texas> ive done that to no avail when i try to open additonal drivers it it gives me an erron and come up blank
[12:51] <iceroot> Guest45165: iwconfig
[12:51] <Peste_Bubonica> Hi... variants of Ubtunu, like Lubuntu uses normal software repositories, as the main version
[12:52] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: is that a question?
[12:52] <Guest45165> ya iceroot
[12:52] <Peste_Bubonica> I mean: I will receive software updates, as normal as the normal versions?
[12:52] <llutz_> Peste_Bubonica: all use se same repos
[12:52] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: yes
[12:52] <llutz_> the
[12:52] <Peste_Bubonica> im a new user at ubuntu, and im intersting in use LXDE..
[12:52] <Peste_Bubonica> thanks for the answer
[12:52] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: just an info about the next release, while the next release is lts (5 years support) the lubuntu version will not be supported on all packages
[12:53] <Guest45165> I run this command but it shows no wireless extensions
[12:53] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: but they all use the same repos and packages
[12:53] <g00se> texas: Look at the link above under "For temporary use with the LiveCD and LiveUSB environments.."
[12:53] <g00se> Thanks folks
[12:54] <Guest45165> I run iwconfig command but it shows no wireless extensions
[12:54] <Peste_Bubonica> iceroot, so, what you recommend, use xubuntu instead?
[12:55] <Peste_Bubonica> I dont want to use the full gnome version... I will use only for java devepment, etc
[12:55] <Peste_Bubonica> because that, im seeking for a lightweight version
[12:55] <theadmin> Peste_Bubonica: How about the server edition?
[12:56] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: no using lubuntu is a good idea
[12:56] <Peste_Bubonica> theadmin, im new on ubuntu... :)... im coming from gentoo
[12:56] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: but you will only have 18 month of support (of the lxde packasges) with 12.04
[12:56] <theadmin> Peste_Bubonica: You can use the server edition and apt-get install, say, openbox
[12:57] <Peste_Bubonica> understood
[12:57] <Peste_Bubonica> iceroot, hmmm..
[12:58] <Peste_Bubonica> but this version will not be discontinued?
[13:00] <PedroGomes> hi, shouldn't this mean that whit an apt-get update and install, I should be able to install the the ganglia-monitor without errors ?
[13:00] <PedroGomes> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ganglia/+bug/854866
[13:00] <fil_> iceroot, what does 'no support' actually means? an existing program doesnt get an update or it does but the update doesnt guarantee safe usage?
[13:07] <auronandace> fil_: no more updates, bug fixes or technical support
[13:08] <auronandace> fil_: essentially it means use at your own risk, if something goes wrong we can't help you
[13:09] <theadmin> fil_: No updates. You also can't install anything (the repositories will just go down)
[13:10] <fil_> auronandace, thanx
[13:10] <iceroot> fil_: "no support" means that there are no security-updates or bugfixes
[13:10] <iceroot> !eol | fil_
[13:10] <iceroot> fil_: "end of life" is a better description then "no support"
[13:10] <texas> hey guys i wanna try a irc on a network not listed under the connect drop down
[13:10] <iceroot> texas: /connect network
[13:11] <fil_> iceroot, the admin : thanx
[13:12] <fil_> is there a way to get these information through terminal?? If repositories are  down or up to when my distro is Still-Alive ? :)
[13:12] <iceroot> fil_: the tome of support?
[13:12] <iceroot> fil_: apt-cache show packagename   there is a field called support and normally have the value 18m
[13:13] <iceroot> fil_: apt-cache show vim   gives me Supported: 5y
[13:15] <iceroot> fil_: the length of support depend on the ubuntu version, normal ubuntu versions have 18 month, lts releases (until 10.04) have 3 years (desktop packages), 5 years cli packages, 12.04 will have 5 years for everything (but not lubuntu packages)
[13:15] <iceroot> fil_: and there are also repositories which dont have the full length of support (imo universe and multiverse)
[13:18] <fil_> iceroot: i am running 'show vim' and it says 18m (ubuntu 10.10).. vlc says nothing about supporting.. but i get the picture... thanx! Although i am still in a dilemma concerning upgrading the distro (i dont like gnome 3 & unity :))
[13:18] <fil_> thanx guys..
[13:18] <jigijigi> No wireless extension.what does it mean?
[13:18] <auronandace> fil_: there are other desktop environments
[13:19] <aum___> LjL, thanks for your support, the solution of my problem was to edit a line in grub.cfg --> " console= tty1" :)
[13:19] <auronandace> fil_: my favourite is xfce
[13:19] <_fury> Did anyone use glx-gears -stereo?  It gives an output but it does not look 3D.
[13:19] <ikonia> glx gears is 3d
[13:20] <LjL> aum___: oh. i grepped for "tty" in /etc/ and /boot/ but couldn't quite spot it.
[13:20] <sattu94> you mean 3D 3D or just 3D.. ?
[13:20] <iceroot> !info vlc
[13:20] <_fury> ikonia do you have shutter glases and tested it?
[13:20] <iceroot> fil_: vlc is in "universe" which is not supported
[13:20] <iceroot> fil_: universe is managed by the community and not canocial, normally you get also 18month support but that is not 100% sure
[13:21] <Vooloo> I have like 10 kernel selections in grub at boot, how do I reduce this to 3 at most?
[13:21] <_fury> ikonia im trying to get it working for 2 days now :(. It would be great if you could help me :).
[13:21] <theadmin> Vooloo: Remove old kernels
[13:22] <fil_> auronandace: true... i should not say what i dont like, but i should say what i do like (gnome 2.x).. do you know how i can in install xfce but without any apps besides the one i do have already?? just the GUI?? i am running a stripped down version of ubuntu and i would like to keep it that way...
[13:22] <theadmin> fil_: Then just "sudo apt-get install xfce4", what's the problem?
[13:23] <fil_> theadmin: doesnt this install also basic programs included in xfce??
[13:23] <theadmin> fil_: Well, yeah, XFCE can't work without those :/
[13:24] <_fury> Is anyone here who got glxgears -stereo working?
[13:25] <theadmin> fil_: "xubuntu-desktop", on the other hand, will install everything the XFCE edition of Ubuntu comes with (which is a lot more)
[13:25] <fil_> theadmin: "Xfce also provides numerous additional applications and plugins so you can extend your desktop the way you like, for example a terminal emulator, text editor, sound mixer,ical etc"... i mean without these..
[13:25] <theadmin> fil_: Uh, okay, let me search for it
[13:26] <theadmin> fil_: I can't find any other way around it
[13:27] <fil_> theadmin: i would like to keep, for example nautilus in gnome, but whatever xfce uses when i login with xfce(or nautilus again).. from what i understand i might have problems with different file manages co-existing in the same system... and since it is a stripped down edition, who knows what kind of error might come up:(
[13:28] <theadmin> !purexfce | fil_: You're still going to need those anyway, so just follow this guide
[13:28] <fil_> theadmin: thanx for the effort and information!!!
[13:29] <auronandace> fil_: nautilus and thunar can co-exist fine as far as i know
[13:29] <Pici> fil_, theadmin: Just don't install the suggests for the xfce4 metapackage and you should be fine.
[13:29] <theadmin> Pici: "suggests"? Sorry, I forgot how APT functions. Is that the "optional dependencies"?
[13:30] <robinduckett> theadmin: yes
[13:30] <_apostate_> what about just installing xfce4-panel and xfce4-session?
[13:30] <Pici> theadmin: essentially. The xfce4-goodies package has a lot of the extra bulk that isn't really needed to have a functioning xfce4 desktop.
[13:30] <theadmin> Pici: I know, but, say, Thunar is not in the -goodies, but in xfce4
[13:32] <totalanon> webupd8team/gnome3 doesn't want to work for me. Any idea why?

[13:34] <bazhang> m4k, you dont
[13:34] <OerHeks> m4k, not
[13:35] <auronandace> totalanon: repo? so it is a ppa then?
[13:35] <totalanon> Aye, it is.
[13:35] <auronandace> totalanon: ppas aren't supported here
[13:35] <totalanon> Hm. Well, just thought someone might possibly know.
[13:36] <m4k> I updated the kernel of maverick to oneiric now virtualbox not woking
[13:37] <auronandace> m4k: if you updated just the kernel then i'm not surprised
[13:37] <fil_> theadmin, pici : thanx ppl for the information...
[13:37] <LjL> m4k: that was FAR from a good idea.
[13:37] <theadmin> m4k: You have to reinstall vboxdrv: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[13:37] <LjL> m4k: revert back to the Maverick kernel if you want any support.
[13:37] <theadmin> LjL: Virtualbox works just fine even on the 3.2 kernel, you just have to deal with vboxdrv manually
[13:38] <LjL> theadmin: ok, his system is still unsupported though ;)
[13:39] <theadmin> LjL: Huh... Indeed. Updating the kernel alone is weird

[13:39] <Aivard> I'm sorry. I have a question here. I'm a beginner though
[13:39] <theadmin> Aivard: Just ask.
[13:39] <Aivard> I downloaded the GNOME desktop environment, with extra componets
[13:40] <Aivard> from the software center
[13:40] <jutnux> Aivard: Go on...
[13:40] <theadmin> Aivard: Okay. Please try to keep all of the question on ONE line, so it's actually readable
[13:40] <Aivard> then I removed it. are all the cache completely  removed from my computer?

[13:47] <Aivard> I'm sorry. When I install something from the Ubuntu Software Center and removed it, will all the caches be removed as well? as for my example, I installed GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components. Will it be completely wiped out after I remove it? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.

[13:56] <phibxr> private_meta, the Wikipedia article actually states why you are able to do it.
[13:56] <LjL> !ot
[13:58] <private_meta> jutnux: how is noob an acronym?

[13:59] <eein_> can anyone recommend a hdd diagnostic program or do you just use smartctl?
[13:59] <jutnux> LjL: I've told him as well.
[13:59] <Tm_T> eein_: that's what I use
[14:00] <LjL> eein_: they're all kind of equivalent when it comes to SMART data, after all it's always the same data coming from the HDD... so yes, i just use smartctl. the only thing i can think of in addition would be something that tracks SMART data over time.
[14:00] <eein_> Tm_T, what about if the drive isn't performing well but hasnt generated errors
[14:00] <eein_> like measuring its speed
[14:01] <Aivard> how do I completely remove an application I installed from Ubuntu Software Center from my computer? Does the Remove button in the Ubuntu Software Center enough of a removing?
[14:01] <eein_> randoms seeks etc
[14:01] <fil_> Aivard : what do you mean cache?? maybe you can check in google 'apt-get remove --purge package' or 'sudo apt-get autoclean autoremove'. Check in google BEFORE using them to see if this is actually what you want  to do
[14:01] <LjL> !info bonnie++ | eein_
[14:01] <Aivard> fil_: Thank you :)
[14:02] <eein_> LjL, thanks i'll give that a look
[14:02] <fil_> Aivard: hope i helped.. the thing is IF these are the commands you need, they are run through a terminal... i dont use software center so i dont know how to do it there, probably there is an option

[14:07] <elo_> anyone know if its easy to install ubuntu on an ASUS EEE PC 1011PX ?
[14:07] <_cb> clear
[14:08] <iceroot> elo_: normally there should be no problem

[14:09] <dr3mro> hey . is it acceptable to  create a post install script to add a new ppa in a user system ?? i am maintaining an application on launchpad and did change the ppa to a new ppa and the old is depricated now and i did changed the info about the ppa but users right now using the old one can i make postinst script to make the move ?? or that wont be acceptable ?
[14:09] <_cb> want to boot from a into a hypervisor and have the hypervisor load a Windows 7 VM. What hypervisor should I look at. Any distro better for this  than ubuntu server?
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> dr3mro  rather inform the users that a new version is available for download
[14:11] <auronandace> dr3mro: ppas are unsupported here, so if there is a problem with the ppa then we won't be able to help them (aside from advising them to remove the ppa)
[14:11] <elo_> im obviously kinda new to linux. but if i plug in a usb wireless network card into an ubuntu machine. does it have to have some specific drivers for it to work ?
[14:12] <robinduckett> elo_: sometimes
[14:12] <robinduckett> it may require the original windows drivers and ndiswrapper
[14:13] <mengu> hi. i am setting up two screens but this is how it changes after that http://i.imgur.com/E979y.jpg
[14:13] <mengu> how can i fix this?
[14:13] <robinduckett> elo_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper
[14:13] <elo_> so it would not be that hard really to just get ahold of the windows driver and get it to work ?
[14:13] <mengu> i think it is removing the theme
[14:13] <elo_> oh ndiswrapper. i see
[14:15] <auronandace> mengu: i don't use unity but i've seen plenty of people complain about multi monitor support
[14:15] <elo_> in what cases would i have to use ndiswrapper ? O_o
[14:15] <ikonia> canonical are working hard to improve multi display support
[14:15] <auronandace> elo_: when there are no linux drivers
[14:15] <bazhang> elo_, for the eeepc? hardly likely
[14:16] <alkelie> is there a way to add empathy to the tray in gnome-3?
[14:16] <auronandace> mengu: using nvidia and xfce, my 2 monitor setup is working great
[14:16] <mengu> auronandace: it definitely sucks.
[14:17] <elo_> bazhang. yeah well i was thinking on connecting an external wifi antenna and for that i need a usb wifi card. so i just asked myself. perhaps ubuntu wont recognize the usb wifi. i really have no idea :)
[14:17] <ikonia> elo_: doesn't your machine already have a wirless network card in it ?
[14:18] <bazhang> elo_, the eeepc has an internal wifi already
[14:18] <cyclicflux> Whats happening fellow tech-enthusiasts
[14:18] <elo_> ikonia yes it does. but it doesnt have a rp-sma connector
[14:18] <jasef> cyclicflux: This is a support channel, there's #ubuntu-offtopic for other chat :)
[14:18] <ikonia> elo_: do you need an external connection ?
[14:18] <p3ter> hi
[14:18] <elo_> for the external antenna. to boost the signal strength
[14:19] <ikonia> elo_: do you think it will make a big difference ?
[14:19] <elo_> actually i dont know. but an external antenna should make a big difference compared to none at all
[14:19] <ikonia> I can't see it personally making a big difference
[14:20] <bazhang> elo_, not really. it's quite good as is
[14:20] <cyclicflux> I had a question. Its  kind of strange, on this machine I am using ubuntu 10.04, with gnome, and I have the monitor intermittently hibernate, and then not turn back on. When I leave the computer it hibernates, and then it is able to restore. However, interestingly enough while using it, it will intermittently hibernate and then it will not restore thereafter.
[14:20] <elo_> ikonia. what. :) are you saying an antenna in the eee pc is so good. it will not make any difference to connect an antenna ??
[14:21] <bazhang> elo_, do what you wish. won't make much of a difference though. and Ubuntu runs fine on those
[14:21] <ikonia> elo_: I'm saying arials like that rarley make a difference in home user situations
[14:22] <elo_> not sure how you define home user. but i think i will get more range with an external antenna. and that was all i was saying :)
[14:23] <auronandace> elo_: how much more range do you expect and how much do you need?
[14:25] <elo_> was thinking of building a yagi antenna. that would probably get me a few hundred meters
[14:25] <satya> hello
[14:25] <satya>  how to give permissions for document root files to writable by ftp and apache users
[14:26] <auronandace> elo_: few hundred meters? where do you plan to use it?
[14:27] <elo_> suburban like environment i guess i can call it
[14:27] <sharky1> i am setting the environment variable on ubuntu like that export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH, but it works only for the current shell. How do I make this global for all shell sessions?
[14:27] <elo_> im sorry my english is weak
[14:27] <Polah> Is it possible to remove packages like the GNOME Bluetooth packages without apt forcing the removal of gnome-shell and the like?
[14:28] <linuxearth> can i merge pdfs using xournal?

[14:40] <Bogdaniel> i'm having a problem with iptables when i restart the computer the save is not restored ( added the command for restore in rc.local) can someone help me ?
[14:41] <LjL> trirnoth: "killall nautilus" should destroy all your file manager windows
[14:41] <trirnoth> LjL: Cool. Thanks. Worked.
[14:42] <ramon> ALGUM BRASILEIRO AI?
[14:42] <engla> ian_: install firmware for your wifi, should be in the repository (I don't know what kind you have, maybe broadcom/b43?)  Then check if you can install the proper graphics driver
[14:42] <LjL> !br | ramon
[14:43] <trirnoth> Bogdaniel: Check the options in /etc/network/interfaces. I've used   pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
[14:44] <robinduckett> okay
[14:44] <robinduckett> so
[14:45] <ian_> Thanks Engla. I╚øm using a Netgear N150 router (Orange package deal) or are you referring to the Airport card in the Mac?
[14:45] <engla> ian_: wifi card of course
[14:45] <robinduckett> I have two servers. I need them to expose one Samba share, but replicate data and samba configuration, passwords, etc to eachother just incase one dies

[14:45] <ian_> OK, thanks
[14:46] <robinduckett> does anyone know of any alternatives as CTDB/Samba/GlusterFS doesn't seem to allow user passwords to be distributed
[14:50] <adom> can anyone help me with getting Dropbox working in Ubuntu? stopped working the other day and i cant tell why.
[14:50] <robinduckett> adom: reinstall it
[14:50] <adom> robinduckett: did that. twice.
[14:50] <adom> after hte install i do a "ps aux |grep dropbox" and there's nothing
[14:50] <robinduckett> adom: uninstalling the deb/pkg and reinstalling it isn't the same thing
[14:51] <robinduckett> check your .config or .local files for any leftover crap
[14:51] <adom> robinduckett: please explain. what exactly should i do to uninstall first.
[14:51] <robinduckett> ~/.config
[14:51] <robinduckett> ~/.local
[14:51] <adom> should i apt-get purge?
[14:51] <robinduckett> check there for crap leftover
[14:51] <robinduckett> then you may want to check if it installed any libraries
[14:52] <adom> those are both folders, should i just do a "find ~/.config" -iname "dropbox"?
[14:52] <adom> or do i need to grep the files?
[14:53] <adom> just did find commands and grep commands for both .config and .local directories and nothing found

[14:55] <elementz> is that even the proper way to do it? what i need is to provide wpa encrypted access point to a friend. my first try was by using network-manager, but that did not work at all
[14:55] <elementz> anyone got an idea what i could do?
[14:56] <yermandu> elementz: could be the card, could
[14:56] <adom> robinduckett: how do i check if dropbox installed any libraries?
[14:56] <elementz> yermandu: hm. what makes you think so?
[14:57] <yermandu> elementz: because if connect more or less so, the card is most best probly issue

[15:12] <adom> only thing that shows up is dpkg.log of installs. no errors.
[15:17] <AdminSetup> LjL : Thanks :)
[15:18] <_nedR> i have gotten these BADSIG errors before and each time follow some instruction off the internet without understanding what they're (something about cache inconsistencies or something)... but how do i know whether i am not unwittingly installing malware
[15:21] <adom> so i installed dropbox from the .deb package from their site, how do i uninstall it so i can reinstall it?
[15:21] <adom> is there like a -u flag for .deb files?
[15:21] <auronandace> _nedR: the only way to prevent you doing anything unwittingly is to understand what you are doing (read and learn)
[15:22] <LjL> adom: you can use apt-get to remove packages installed with dpkg
[15:22] <LjL> adom: (anyway, dpkg -r)
[15:23] <adom> LjL: i tried "sudo apt-get purge dropbox" but it said no dropbox package found
[15:23] <Lin-E> Synaptic ?
[15:23] <LjL> adom: you very sure it's installed and has that name?
[15:23] <iceroot> adom: dpkg -l \*dropbox\* | grep ^ii
[15:23] <blitzkev> I'm having trouble installing samba4 using apt-get
[15:23] <iceroot> adom: that will show you al packages installed with dropbox in the name
[15:23] <blitzkev> im going to pastebin my errors
[15:23] <adom> well, i guess it might not be fully installed, because ps aux |grep dropbxo returns nothing
[15:24] <adom> dpkg -l \*dropbox\* |grep ^ii
[15:24] <adom> whoops
[15:24] <adom> wrong terminla >.<
[15:24] <_nedR> auronandace: thanks for reply... the google results provide only instructions without much explanations.. i am looking for some simple explanation which doesn't hopefully involve learning the entire architecture of deb package systems
[15:24] <adom> iceroot: nautilus-dropbox comes up
[15:25] <blitzkev> http://paste.ubuntu.com/808683/
[15:25] <flintwingel> _nedR: it's not always easy to know whether or not you're installling malware. More likely in this case though is that you've added a new repository without adding the keys as well
[15:25] <iceroot> adom: then hat package is installed
[15:25] <sovereignentity> I have ubuntu 10.04 installed with music on another drive how can i gett the path of that drive?
[15:25] <adom> iceroot: so if its installed, why cant i apt-get purge it?
[15:26] <iceroot> adom: what is the output of "apt-get remove --purge nautilus-dropbox"
[15:26] <iceroot> adom: why should that not work?
[15:26] <LjL> adom: the package that's installed is "nautilus-dropbox", not "dropbox" which you tried to purge
[15:26] <_nedR> flintwingel.. no i haven't done anything of the sort.. this seems to be the cause : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/24061
[15:27] <Pici> You can't remove a random .deb that you've installed manually by using apt. The apt database won't know anything about it. Use dpkg instead.
[15:27] <_nedR> but don't really understand what it means
[15:27] <adom> iceroot LjL: that did some good. nautilus-dropbox purged successfully. however, my problem was always with the daemon not running. ill see if that works now on reinstall.
[15:27] <flintwingel> _nedR: wow... thats an old one
[15:28] <_nedR> its still an open bug
[15:28] <auronandace> _nedR: that bug report is for 12.04
[15:28] <auronandace> !12.04 | _nedR
[15:29] <g[r]eek> Hi fellas. We've got an Ubuntu server running on our LAN, which is plugged into our ADSL router. We also have 2 client laptops plugged into this router. When we connect to the router, we can access the internet from our clients. We can also ping the server by specifying its IP, ie: pine 192.168.0.10 - however, despite the server being correctly mapped in /etc/hosts, we cannot access it in our browser, ie: http://apollo/ - but ping apollo
[15:29] <g[r]eek> works. Any tips?
[15:29] <Pici> blitzkev: Take a look at some of the workarounds listed on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba4/+bug/832465
[15:30] <ikonia> g[r]eek: what OS are the clients running ?
[15:30] <adom> iceroot LjL Pici: before i attempt to reinstall from .deb pkg, should i first do "dpkg -r dropboxpkg.deb"?
[15:30] <adom> to remove previous package installed
[15:30] <g[r]eek> Ubuntu and Windows ikonia
[15:30] <Pici> adom: without the .deb at the end.
[15:30] <iceroot> adom: not dpkg -r foo.deb  just dpkg -r foo
[15:30] <LjL> adom: it doesn't seem to actually be installed, so no, but no harm trying
[15:30] <ikonia> g[r]eek: where (which machine) did you update /etc/hosts ?
[15:30] <g[r]eek> ikonia, on Ubuntu client
[15:31] <iceroot> adom: when "dpkg -l \*dropbox*\ | grep ^ii is not showing anything dropbox is not installed
[15:31] <iceroot> correctly
[15:31] <ikonia> g[r]eek: can you access the server in your browser by IP address, eg: http://192.168.24.10
[15:31] <adom> ok i understand
[15:31] <alexandre_> hello guys,  How can I make to run my applications anywhere by its binary name e.g. firefox %u
[15:31] <ikonia> g[r]eek: (or whatever the servers IP is)
[15:31] <ikonia> alexandre_: echo $PATH - anything in those directories you just need to type the binary name
[15:32] <stevegjacobs> where are images 'stored' in open stack? I thought they were in /var/lib/nova/images/ but on my system, that folder is empty..
[15:32] <adom> this is weird
[15:32] <alexandre_> ikonia: thanks going to check it!
[15:32] <blitzkev> unfortunately the comments in this bug don't help very much since I don't already have a working smb.conf file from samba4-common-bin
[15:32] <flintwingel> _nedR: from a v. quick scan of the thread it looks like apt can have problems with repos that are accessed via web proxies.
[15:33] <_nedR> auronandace.. well i am on 11.10 and the first comments on the bug seem to be from 2005.. anyway see those instructions.. my question is: are they safe.. or could they do something like download some self-signed malware or something
[15:33] <bobweaver> hello there I install ubuntu 11.10 server and am alittle confused about  how to mange it publicly and ow to mange it localy could someone please help me thanks
[15:33] <adom> iceroot LjL Pici : when i open downloaded 32bit .deb file for dropbox, Software Center is saying "Sorry, 'nautilus-dropbox' is not available for this type of computer (i386)" but i KNOW this is a 32bit machine
[15:33] <ikonia> bobweaver: what are you not sure about
[15:33] <adom> yet Software Center still has an "install" button
[15:33] <flintwingel> _nedR: does this keep happening even after you're cleared down the apt cache as per the instructions in the thread
[15:34] <iceroot> adom: output of "dpkg --print-architecture"
[15:34] <_nedR> flintwingel: no
[15:34] <adom> iceroot: i386
[15:34] <_nedR> it has happened occasionally
[15:34] <iceroot> adom: ok then its 32bit
[15:34] <adom> this is an optiplex 360, we use all 32bit optiplexes for our workstations
[15:34] <iceroot> adom: output of "sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox"
[15:35] <bobweaver> ikonia: so I installed ubuntu server ad ticked lamp and ssh open I when into /etc/ssh/ssh_config and changed the port number and everything is great there but when I go to the ip address of the server it does not show up on a network outside of my own
[15:35] <_nedR> _nedR: thats probably because the ISP i am using now puts us behind a proxy
[15:35] <adom> iceroot: E: Unable to locate package nautilus-dropbox
[15:35] <_nedR> oops sorry for talking to myself
[15:35] <iceroot> adom: output of "cat /etc/issue" and "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[15:35] <bobweaver> ad| ans
[15:35] <vite> hi youall
[15:35] <iceroot> !paste | adom
[15:35] <flintwingel> _nedR: I wouldn't be too concerned in that case. You have to work hard to install a package from an unsigned repo
[15:35] <Pici> iceroot: He said that he downloaded the .deb file from dropbox's website.
[15:35] <bobweaver> aghhh sorry about my fat fingers
[15:35] <ikonia> bobweaver: what IP address are you using to access it ?
[15:36] <vite> what is the command to install the sound driver on ubuntu 11.10 server
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> adom  try apt-cache search dropbox
[15:36] <iceroot> Pici: and what does that have to do with "nautilus-dropbox"?
[15:36] <iceroot> adom: what are you doing exactly?
[15:36] <bobweaver> ikonia:  it is in the local 192.1.blah
[15:37] <ikonia> bobweaver: ok - so thats why you can't access it outside your network, that is a private network
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> 192.168.blah, you mean
[15:37] <Pici> iceroot: That may be the name of the package that dropbox's website has, however only oneiric and precise have that in their repos.
[15:37] <bobweaver> ikonia: do you know how to use apache2 and /etc/host to fix it add domain name keep it local
[15:38] <_nedR> flintwingel: so the workaround commands do not potentially open me to any vulnerability?
[15:38] <bobweaver> ikonia:  I want to keep local untill I figureit out
[15:38] <adom> situation: dropbox worked for a long time, then stopped working. dropbox folder still there, but "ps aux |grep dropbox" showed nothing running. i assume the dropbox daemon isnt working. trying to reinstall dropbox (whether from .deb file from their site or from repos i dont care, but i dont see dropbox or nautilus-dropbox in repos)
[15:38] <ikonia> bobweaver: you want to resolve it by name locally, etc http://bob
[15:38] <auronandace> _nedR: they don't seem to
[15:38] <ikonia> bobweaver: is that what you want ?
[15:38] <adom> running ubuntu 10.04
[15:38] <bobweaver> ikonia: yes change the local ip 192.168.blah .blah   to http:// somename
[15:38] <adom> er...10.10 i guess
[15:38] <adom> meh
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> !info dropbox
[15:39] <flintwingel> _nedR: no, they are just clearing out the corrupted information then forcing it to be refreshed
[15:39] <ikonia> bobweaver: how many clients are accessing this ? eg just your laptop or many ?
[15:39] <_nedR> ok thanks thats what i wanted to know really.. i wondered whether the commands could potentially download some new fraudulent keys
[15:39] <bobweaver> there will be about 5 people
[15:39] <_nedR> thanks
[15:39] <bobweaver> only on local
[15:39] <adom> MonkeyDust: im on maverick
[15:39] <adom> not oneiric
[15:39] <ikonia> bobweaver: the easy way is to just put the machines IP/name in their local /etc/hosts file
[15:40] <ikonia> bobweaver: that would be the most simple and fast approach
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> adom  maybe you have to download dropbox from the website
[15:40] <adom> MonkeyDust: i have. i have the .deb file.
[15:40] <bobweaver> ikonia: I read about virtualHost with apache2
[15:40] <ikonia> bobweaver: you don't need that
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> adom  and did you install it?
[15:40] <ikonia> bobweaver: just put the hostname/ip address in the host file on the clients and you will be fine
[15:41] <adom> MonkeyDust: however, when opening with Ubuntu Software Center, it says not available for this type of computer (i386). problem is, this IS an i386 computer.
[15:41] <adom> whats also weird is that even though the software center says that, there's still an Install button
[15:41] <adom> should i go ahead and click it?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> adom  can you not open it without something other than software center?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> /s/without/with
[15:42] <adom> MonkeyDust: give me something to try and ill do it. im not super familiar with using dpkg from the command line
[15:43] <g[r]eek> ikonia: regarding your question - "can you access the server in your browser by IP address, eg: http://192.168.24.10" - the server's name is apollo, and when I try access its IP via my browser it tries to forward to www.apollo.com
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> adom  try dpkg -i [package] <-- -i stands for install
[15:43] <_nedR> exit
[15:44] <adom> MonkeyDust: i must do that from within the folder with the .deb file right?
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> adom  yes, or include the path in the file name
[15:45] <mneptok> adom: are you running the x86-64 or i386 version of Ubuntu?
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> adom  use TAB to complete the filename
[15:46] <mneptok> adom: i386 packages will often require lots of i386 dependecies to run on x86-64
[15:47] <adom> mneptok: this is 32bit/i386
[15:47] <mneptok> g[r]eek: using the name "apollo" will not work unless you have a DNS server inside your network that knows who "apollo" is, and all the machines are using that DNS server
[15:47] <mneptok> adom: what package?
[15:48] <adom> mneptok: what do you mean what package? do you mean what distribution/version of ubuntu? meerkat 10.10
[15:48] <mneptok> adom: what package are you trying to install?
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> adom  what's the outcome of uname -i
[15:49] <adom> MonkeyDust: uname -i returns "unknown"
[15:49] <adom> but i think dropbox is working now
[15:49] <adom> its syncing correctly
[15:49] <adom> yay!
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> adom  how did you do it?
[15:50] <adom> MonkeyDust: first checked through ~/.config and ~/.local for anything dropbox, found a couple lines that said start required and restart required, deleted them, did sudo apt-get purge nautilux-dropbox, then just the dpkg -i line to install from .deb.
[15:51] <adom> in retrospect, prob shouldve done the purge first, then grep around for leftovers to delete.
[15:51] <adom> meh, worked
[15:51] <adom> LjL Pici MonkeyDust [everyone else] : thanks for the help
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> \o/ now you're the expert
[15:52] <adom> ^_^
[15:52] <g[r]eek> mneptok, ok thanks. Does that fact that we've installed dnsmasq on apollo help at all? Currently our ADSL router that connects us to the internet is where we get our nameservers from - but yes these are for public / internet websites and don't include our local server apollo
[15:53] <mneptok> g[r]eek: most consumer routers include a DNS server. tell the router to use a public DNS. setup names and static IPSs in the routing tables for hosts that need it, and tell local machines their DNS is the router.
[15:54] <mneptok> Name:aten.mneptok.com
[15:54] <mneptok> Address: 192.168.1.2

[15:58] <eXeC001er> What can i use to repeat functionality of packages.ubuntu.com for my local repository?
[16:02] <chromaticwt> is there a way to disable lightdm?
[16:03] <chromaticwt> I want to use startx to start my wm.
[16:03] <g[r]eek> mneptok, ok that makes sense. This is where it gets tricky however. Basically, we want wildcard subdomains to work on our LAN server. So if we go http://sub1.apollo/ and http://sub2.apollo/, our Apache's configuration (which is configured to handle VirtualHosts), knows to handle the subdomains. The only way we managed to get this wildcard to work (by wildcard I mean not having to configure each subdomain in our clients' /etc/hosts files),
[16:03] <g[r]eek>  was by installing dnsmasq on the LAN server. So yes, if we configure each subdomain manually in /etc/hosts, then it works no problem. But we have hundreds of these subdomains and so as you can imagine, configuring each on manually on each of our clients' /etc/hosts files is tedious. Does that make sense?
[16:04] <skilz> How do I change the login theme?
[16:05] <skilz> Think I'm using lightdm
[16:07] <Ivoz> is there any particular reason that ubuntu decides to run like **** whenever I transfer large files between hard drives?
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> Ivoz  rsync is faster than cp
[16:08] <ikonia> Ivoz: if you have to star out a word, just don't use it please
[16:09] <sskalnik> Is DKMS only for .ko and .o files, or can it be used to re-compile additional files when the ABI changes? E.g., can it be used to trigger re-compilation of a kernel module and a daemon that goes with it?
[16:09] <g[r]eek> mneptok, I've gota dash, but I'll stay here, if you would be so kinda as to send me a private message if you happen to know the answer to my previous question, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

[16:16] <g[r]eek> mneptok, FYI - this explains our wildcard subdomain requirement and why we installed dnsmasq - http://serverfault.com/questions/118378/in-my-etc-hosts-file-on-linux-osx-how-do-i-do-a-wildcard-subdomain - but yes, my previous question still stands. Thanks

[16:36] <LiroXIV> Okay, question: I have a computer lab here. Two computers are hooked to a router (only one runs Ubuntu, but both use NetworkManager), but do not access the internet.
[16:36] <LiroXIV> Yet, I still want to connect them on a sort of LAN. What settings do I use?
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  a router with modem?
[16:37] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: its not one of those.
[16:37] <stjohnmedrano> good day, i need help in my nokia bluetooth headset, ubuntu cannot detect the device, but it works fine with my android phone. thnx
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  so without modem?
[16:38] <LiroXIV> I'm just helping set up a networking demo in a seperate lab here at school (yes, and I'm using Linux distros here; just to show off how good they are :D )
[16:38] <LiroXIV> yes, no modem
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> the modem is to get you online, on the internet
[16:39] <nak_> please how can i create an acoount e-mail in thunderbird ?
[16:39] <LjL> LiroXIV: if the router serves DHCP, you should not need to use any particular settings
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> nak_  http://products.secureserver.net/email/email_thunderbird.htm
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> yes, the router is for NATting, but not to get you online
[16:42] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: I'm not gertting them online
[16:42] <LiroXIV> I'm just trying to get them to be able to connect to eachother
[16:42] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: I tried setting them both to link-local, but they're both showing the same IP address
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  ok, i missed that part
[16:43] <SpenserWilde> hi all.
[16:43] <sovereignentity> I now know how to make symbolic links
[16:43] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: should I just use static IPs?
[16:44] <sovereignentity> pat me on the back
[16:44] <LjL> LiroXIV: you should use static IPs only if the router doesn't serve DHCP
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  DHCP provides IP addresses to each of the machines
[16:44] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: when I set them to DHCP, network manager both says they're disconnected
[16:45] <LjL> LiroXIV: then maybe the router doesn't serve DHCP. in that case, either set the router to serve DHCP, or configure statically.
[16:45] <DoctorD> Hi all. I have ubuntu 10.04 and a laptop and my wireless doesn't work. it doesnt show me the wireless when i type ifconfig in the terminal..what is the problem? can someone help me?
[16:45] <DoctorD> also, my video board doesnt seem to work properly
[16:45] <SpenserWilde> My Broadcom 4313 [14e4:4727] isn't working properly. :/ It detects the wireless network (does not detect the whole signal though, just 80% of it at best) and the connection speed seems extremely slow.
[16:45] <sovereignentity> MonkeyDust, are those DHPC addresses static
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> DoctorD  try iwconfig
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> sovereignentity  no, D in DHCP means Dynamic
[16:46] <sdousley> Hi all,. I have an 11.04 machine that I've just put Windows XP on as a second OS.  Unfortunately, due to time restrictions, I had to do Ubuntu before XP, so now am Trying to work out how to get grub working with options.
[16:46] <DoctorD> MonkeyDust: it shows me 3 things: lo, eth0 and pan0. also it say between each other: no wireless extension
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> but once a machine got an IP address, it won't change
[16:47] <sdousley> I have grub working, so it now boots ubuntu, but not sure how to get it to add the Windows option
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> DoctorD  which OS's?
[16:47] <DoctorD> just ubuntu 10.04 , now upgrading to 10.10
[16:48] <theadmin> sdousley: It would normally autodetect it. Can you run "sudo update-grub"?
[16:48] <DoctorD> it is possible to work on 10.10 ?
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> DoctorD  sorry, i was addressing somebody else
[16:49] <theadmin> DoctorD: Define that... It's possible to work on any OS, even DOS.
[16:49] <sdousley> theadmin: ah, so it does :) that's cool.  And if I wanted to change the timeout? Would that be in /boot/grub/grub.cfg somewhere?
[16:50] <DoctorD> theadmin: what do you mean?
[16:50] <theadmin> sdousley: Yeah, but because this is Ubuntu with it's carefullness, you shouldn't edit the file directly, instead see /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/
[16:50] <Technicus> Hello, I have a pdf form that I was able to import with Libreoffice, however there are lines on the form that did not render after import.  Is there a way that I can tweek the import feature so that it picks up all the features of the pdf?
[16:50] <theadmin> DoctorD: You asked whether it's possible to "work" on 10.10
[16:50] <DoctorD> yes..because on 10.04 it doesnt work
[16:50] <DoctorD> maybe its not support
[16:50] <DoctorD> idk
[16:50] <sdousley> theadmin: ah, yeh, I meant /etc/default/grub actually from what I was readin :)
[16:50] <theadmin> Technicus: Yeah, get the sourcecode and edit it manually. Otherwise - no.

[16:51] <Wargasm> I'm running ubuntu 11.10 with a lxde DE.  The battery monitor in lxde is stuck at 100% but the gnome power manager is working accurately.  Anyone know how I can fix the lxde battery monitor so it can work properly?
[16:51] <theadmin> Oh, Sabayon still exists? lol
[16:51] <sdousley> that's looks like what I need thanks theadmin
[16:53] <DoctorD> so..
[16:53] <LiroXIV> if it matters, the sabayon computer has a newer version of NetworkManager (the one from Gnome 3)
[16:53] <DoctorD> what i'll do ?
[16:53] <DoctorD> i'll be back with updates
[16:53] <DoctorD> after i upgrade to 10.10
[16:53] <Wargasm> I'm running a separate battery monitor so I can monitor my battery level lol
[16:53] <DoctorD> maybe it will work :(
[16:54] <theadmin> Wargasm: Why not just disable the LXDE one and run batti or whatever it is you're running only?
[16:55]  * AlecTaylor is IRCing through mIRC on WINE using Ubuntu LIKE A BOSS
[16:55] <caution> what other shell variables are there like $RANDOM?
[16:55] <caution> where can I find a list?
[16:56] <theadmin> caution: Type "export" to see most of the current values. However, certain "special" variables like $IFS and $RANDOM won't be listed
[16:56] <MonkeyDust> !bash| caution
[16:56] <Wargasm> theadmin: thats what I currently have going but it runs behind all my windows... its not in plain sight... its not too big of a deal, just wondering if someone knows a fix

[16:56] <KRizAn00n> Anyone help me? I'm using Lucid and everytime I start up firefox it wont open. there are no instances of firefox already running and typeing firefox in the terminal returns Bus Error
[16:56] <caution> theadmin: I want to know the special ones like $RANDOM that aren't listed

[16:57] <sovereignentity> theadmin, great
[16:57] <torta> hi
[16:57] <torta> I have a 9.10 version of ubuntu and I 'd like to upgrade to 11.00 but I don't know how exactly, some one could help me?
[16:57] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: 1) is dbus running? 2) If it is, try removing ~/.mozilla and trying again. 3) If that doesn't help, switch to Chrome.
[16:57] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: lol, the last part is a joke, no offense meant
[16:57] <scottj_> does this new itunes legit music thing where they give you legit versions of non-legit songs, does it look at the audio of the song or just the id3 tag? Anyone know if you can create a ton of empty mp3 files with the right id3 tags for songs you want?
[16:57] <LjL> caution: they're all in a list in "man bash"
[16:57] <caution> thanks
[16:58] <caution> how do I copy the current line without using the mouse in bash?
[16:58] <LjL> caution: copy to the clipboard? don't think you can
[16:58] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: dbus-daemon and dbus-launch are sleeping
[16:58] <martian_> scottj_: that's pretty far off topic.
[16:58] <caution> shift+ctrl+c does it, but I can't work out how to select the text without the mouse
[16:59] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Fair enough. Okay, try removing the profile folder then
[16:59] <scottj_> martian_: agreed :)
[17:00] <theadmin> caution: You can't really do that.
[17:00] <martian_> scottj_: ...but clever; you should try it...but #ubuntu is the wrong place :)
[17:00] <torta> someone could help me?
[17:00] <theadmin> caution: Clipboard is an X thing, and X expects you to have a mouse
[17:00] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: im new to linux, what is the command for removing?
[17:00] <torta> I have a 9.10 version of ubuntu and I 'd like to upgrade to 11.00 but I don't know how exactly,
[17:00] <sovereignentity> If OsX is based on unix and Linux is based on Unix why cant windows see the file system of both
[17:00] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: rm... You want "rm -r ~/.mozilla"
[17:00] <theadmin> sovereignentity: Windows isn't based on Unix :/
[17:00] <LjL> sovereignentity: ... what
[17:00] <theadmin> sovereignentity: Also, Microsoft will do *everything* to make Windows INcompatible with Linux
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> torta  easiest, fastest and safest way is to backup important files and do a fresh install
[17:00] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: thanks, what does -r do?
[17:01] <sovereignentity> but windows can see a mac drive
[17:01] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Allows removing folders (default is to only remove files)
[17:01] <Wargasm> theadmin: lol, well said
[17:01] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Type "man COMMAND" to see detailed help on COMMAND. For instance, "man rm"
[17:01] <theadmin> Wargasm: ?
[17:01] <LjL> sovereignentity: uh no it can't, not when it's HFS formatted. anyway, Windows, Mac OS and Linux all use different filesystems.
[17:01] <murfie> don't confuse it with "rm man" of course
[17:01] <Wargasm> the admin: Also, Microsoft will do *everything* to make Windows INcompatible with Linux
[17:02] <theadmin> murfie: That won't do much
[17:02] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: thanks, you type fast :S now do i sudo apt-get install firefox?
[17:02] <theadmin> murfie: That is, unless a file called "man" exists.
[17:02] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: No, just start Firefox
[17:02] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: That was a user-settings folder
[17:02] <luket> Can anyone comment on the possibility of backports being accepted for weechat & bitlbee? I happen to be stuck on 10.04 at work.
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> !pm
[17:02] <theadmin> luket: // on the possibility of backports being accepted for weechat & bitlbee? I happen to be stuck on 10.04 at work.
[17:02] <theadmin> luket: Sorry, couldn't hold back xD
[17:03] <luket> :S
[17:03] <theadmin> luket: Never mind me, I'm crazy
[17:03] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: no luck, all that happens is firefox-bin process starts and then goes away again after 5 seconds
[17:03] <luket> nice
[17:03] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Hmm... Is the system up-to-date?
[17:03] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: If it isn't, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". Should fix potential bugs.
[17:04] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: its been been upgraded
[17:04] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: wait i'll do dist-upgrade
[17:04] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: That's mostly same as "upgrade" except it does a smarter dependency resolution, won't do much if you're up-to-date
[17:04] <MonkeyDust> torta  stop pm'ing me
[17:05] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: /ignore torta PRIVMSG
[17:05] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: im all up to date
[17:05] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: There just are some people like that ;)
[17:05] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Okay, I'm out of ideas. Can you try the official Firefox build from their PPA?
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> tnx theadmin <3
[17:05] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: what sorry?
[17:06] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Ubuntu uses a modified Firefox version... You can install the official build (if you don't mind) to see if that will work
[17:06] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: np
[17:07] <KRizAn00n> the admin: what's the command?
[17:07] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Just a sec, gotta remember the address
[17:07] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: ok, thanks
[17:07] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Okay, here:

[17:32] <nak_> please how can i create an acoount e-mail in thunderbird with pop3 ??
[17:32] <kvgeorge1> do I need to launch kmix as root?

[17:38] <Nfisher> HI all! ive a little problem: a friend of mine wants me to connect to his ubuntu box via ssh... he sits behind a router and has no access to it in order to forward ports.. i sit behind a router and have the access to forward ports.. how can i establish a ssh-connection into his amchine?!
[17:39] <llutz> Nfisher: http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling
[17:41] <israel> Nfisher: install ssh in the pc, and theres not problem with port 22 to pass trought
[17:41] <theadmin> Nfisher: You can't. Not unless he configures port forwarding.
[17:41] <LjL> or unless they use a VPN
[17:42] <NeverHere> theadmin, for ssh from command correct command is ssh <host> -l <users> right?
[17:42] <llutz> Nfisher: HE creates the reverse tunnel, YOU connect through it
[17:42] <NeverHere> <.<
[17:42] <Nfisher> so, is it possible or not?
[17:42] <llutz> Nfisher: http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling
[17:42] <theadmin> NeverHere: ssh user@host
[17:42] <llutz> Nfisher: read this follow this, done
[17:43] <NeverHere> ah ok
[17:43] <Nfisher> llutz, yes but "theadmin" says its not possible.. and it didnt work
[17:43] <llutz> Nfisher: it works
[17:43] <Nfisher> "Connection timed out"
[17:43] <LjL> Nfisher: it's not possible for you to connect to his machine, it'll have to be his machine connecting to yours, but aside from that technical detail, it's possible for you to access his machine through a reverse SSH tunnel (see link) or by using VPN
[17:43] <downbeam> i need to talk to some one smart
[17:43] <Nfisher> LjL, oh ok
[17:43] <Nfisher> i see
[17:44] <theadmin> downbeam: You're not giving any details at all, what help do you expect?
[17:44] <llutz> Nfisher: why do you think i post the link for you? just for fun?
[17:44] <downbeam> Sorry, installation of this driver failed.
[17:44] <downbeam> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log

[17:44] <downbeam> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
[17:45] <Nfisher> llutz, u crazy? i followed it, but it didnt work... i told u
[17:45] <LjL> downbeam: did you have a look at the log file for details?
[17:45] <Nfisher> llutz, and it still doesnt
[17:45] <llutz> Nfisher: then you/he made it wrong, reverse tunneling works
[17:45] <pangolin> Nfisher: if that is too much you can use teamviewer which handles all the forwarding for you, it will need to be installed on both machines.
[17:45] <Nfisher> llutz, thats possible :)
[17:45] <downbeam> LjL how do i look at log files?
[17:45] <Nfisher> pangolin, thx
[17:45] <LjL> downbeam: type "cat /var/log/jockey.log" in a terminal
[17:45] <llutz> Nfisher: HE creates the reverse tunnel to YOUR machine which needs sshd running and being accessible from WAN, then YOU connect through it
[17:46] <Nfisher> llutz, ok
[17:46] <tudor32> how can i delete read only files from an external card..i keep receiving this error when deletin.. i use ubuntu 11.10

[17:56] <DragonSlay> how can i shutdown the computer using a command line (no sudo )
[17:56] <codeshah> hey guys, with rewritemap, how do I make it so if no rewirte rule is found, it just goes to the original request?
[17:57] <x34643> who is there?
[17:57] <NeverHere> no one its your imagination x34643
[17:58] <Josse> DragonSlay, i know shutdown -h now does the job.
[17:58] <Budd> DragonSlay: as root, type /sbin/shutdown -[rh] now. As an unprivileged user, look for a power switch :)
[17:59] <Josse> Not sure if sudoing is necessary, tho.
[17:59] <Pici> codeshah: Probably a better question for #httpd (apache2's support channel)
[17:59] <tudor32> how do i format an external card in ubuntu 11.10?
[18:00] <iElectric> is there any way to instal python2.4 on oneiric?
[18:01] <sipior> iElectric: sure, you can always build it yourself.
[18:01] <kron`> NeverHere :o
[18:01] <Pici> iElectric: There is no python2.4 package in the repos. Is there a reason that you can't use 2.7 (or 2.6 or 2.5)?
[18:01] <NeverHere> kron`, >.>
[18:01] <kron`> :o
[18:01] <NeverHere> wtf are you doing here

[18:03] <eRespond> how install netselect on ubuntu ?
[18:04] <eRespond> am need install netselect on ubuntu
[18:04] <eRespond> for make mirror some site
[18:04] <eRespond> please give me some ide
[18:04] <eRespond> ??
[18:04] <iElectric> LjL: by lying im usig lucid?
[18:04] <iElectric> using*
[18:05] <LjL> iElectric: oh yeah, it's just for lucid :( well it might work, or it might break things, no guarantees.
[18:05] <tudor32> no help in here..
[18:05] <iElectric> it won't work.
[18:05] <Pici> iElectric: Again, is there a reason you can't use the current version of python?
[18:05] <blizzow> dammnit, grrrr, xorg starts only about 50% of the time.  I see a failsafe-x process running and it doesn't want to stop or start via an upstart command.  Anyone have any ideas what might be going on with xorg?
[18:06] <iElectric> yes, because XBMC developers used to be stupid.
[18:06] <blizzow> the /var/log/xorg-failsafe, is worthless.
[18:06] <eRespond> hai all, need to know how to install netselect ???
[18:06] <Pici> eRespond: What is netselect?
[18:06] <iElectric> Pici: I have a very good reason and would do anything to switch for 2.7
[18:06] <iElectric> would save dozens of hours atleast.
[18:06] <sipior> iElectric: you can build a 2.4 interpreter inside of ten minutes.
[18:07] <eRespond> pici Use the site closest to you for the fastest downloads possible whether it is a primary or secondary site. The program netselect can be used to determine the site with the least latency; use a download program such as wget or rsync for determining the site with the most throughput. Note that geographic proximity often isn't the most important factor for determining which machine will serve you best.
[18:07] <Josse> Guys, if i get segfault erros quite often, does that mean that my memory is damaged???
[18:07] <LjL> Josse: it could be, but it could be other things too. use memtest86+ to check your memory, it's available from the boot menu
[18:08] <eRespond> Pici, : am need install netselect on my ubuntu http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors.html
[18:08] <blizzow> also none of my vtys come to life.  I can't even alt+f1 to another vty to diagnose.
[18:08] <blizzow> I have to ssh into the machine to do anything.
[18:08] <Josse> LjL, I did it and I get quite a lot of errors, so guess i should start looking for new sodim, right?
[18:08] <Pici> eRespond: There is no netselect package for Ubuntu, its only a debian tool.
[18:09] <LjL> Josse: yes.
[18:09] <eRespond> ubuntu form debian ?
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> !netselect| eRespond
[18:09] <eRespond> but why i can't install debian package... and any alternative package for me
[18:09] <LjL> Josse: or if you don't want to, you *could* possibly use the badmem feature of the kernel to work around the broken part... but if you can just get a new stick, by all means do
[18:09] <eRespond> !netselect
[18:10] <Pici> eRespond: You should not use packages desinged for Debian on Ubuntu.
[18:10] <Josse> LjL, It used to be my mothers comp. When she had windows it worked fine (for win standards, of course) Could it be some sort of incompatibility.
[18:10] <Josse> Ok, so definately it's memory.
[18:10] <Josse> LjL, Can you please tell me how i can activate this feature?
[18:10] <eRespond> so Pici what package i can used for download mirro wordwild debian

[18:13] <eRespond> Pici, manually what you mean
[18:13] <llutz> Nfisher: user@yourhost

[18:26] <aelingil> I have a computer that updated from 11.04 to 11.10 they did not back anything up and it crashed after 11.10 was installed. They recovered the system however now they cannot find anything in the Var/www folder and now asking me to find the files for them. Is there any simple way to find these lost files?
[18:29] <MonkeyDust> aelingil  for a start, type locate index.htm
[18:30] <aelingil> MonkeyDust, from terminal?
[18:30] <MonkeyDust> aelingil  yes
[18:30] <aelingil> MonkeyDust, good lord.. maybe i should have |less'd that...
[18:30] <pippo> CIAO

[18:31] <MonkeyDust> aelingil  ctrl-c to stop it
[18:31] <aelingil> MonkeyDust, it finished already.
[18:31] <MonkeyDust> aelingil  see if you find what you're looking for
[18:31] <MonkeyDust> in that list
[18:32] <aelingil> MonkeyDust,  the files or the folder?

[18:32] <ses1984> hi, i'm trying to make an ISO from a CD using dd, but I keep getting "Input/output error" on /dev/sr0, I think that's where the CD is,
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> aelingil  if you find the file, it may lead you to the folder
[18:33] <llutz> Nfisher: needs ssh -X   (X-forwarding)
[18:33] <Nfisher> llutz, oh ok
[18:33] <ses1984> but it's not mounted in /etc/mtab, evne though I can browse it. in my file browser it looks like cdda://sr0
[18:33] <aelingil> MonkeyDust, Got'cha i will look through this and see if i can find any of his files. Thank you.
[18:33] <ses1984> i tried to unmount it becuase i thought that might be the problem, but umount says it's not mounted, either,
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> aelingil  if you remember any other filename, you can 'locate' that, too
[18:34] <aelingil> MonkeyDust, He is out to lunch at the moment, i was trying to find the whole folder. I think it was replaced after his "restore"

[18:48] <llutz> ses1984: broken drive? broken cd? "copyprotected cd"?
[18:48] <llutz> ses1984:  cdda://sr0/   IS an audio-cd
[18:48] <ses1984> i dont remember putting copy protection when i burned it
[18:48] <llutz> ses1984: compact-disc-digital-audio = cdda
[18:48] <ses1984> it has audio on it but also data afterwards, i want to get a complete exact copy
[18:48] <ses1984> i believe that's called redbook format?
[18:50] <ses1984> for the process of making an exact iso, it shouldn't matter what format the disc is, i think..i just want an exact copy regardless of what's on there
[18:50] <llutz> ses1984: 1st you have to rip the audio part, then get the data-part
[18:50] <llutz> ses1984: you cannot make an iso of an audio-cd, it doesn't contain an pc-readable-filesystem. use cdrdao
[18:50] <ses1984> i'll try that

[18:54] <MonkeyDust> cowfish  shoot
[18:56] <cowfish> basically i need to tunnel the traffic from a xbox through a vpn, but the xbox can't do this on its own. so i set up a simple server with 2 nics to connect to vpn and then i have the xbox plugged into that but it doesn't connect.  does this make any sense?
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> cowfish  how is it ubuntu related?
[18:56] <cowfish> the servers running ubuntu :p
[18:57] <NeverHere> nice cowfish ^^
[18:57] <cowfish> i guess pretty much what I'm wondering is there a way to route the traffic from say eth1 to tun0?
[18:58] <NeverHere> <.<
[19:00] <NeverHere> i have a laptop running ubuntu 11.10, am trying to get my eggdrop shellscript to run on there ( i am fed up with unix :x) my script is basically the same. problem is i need to get it to change into another dir and start a eggdrop bot :/ anyone know how to make a shell script cd into another director?
[19:01] <NeverHere> *directory
[19:03] <cowfish> idk much about egg drop but can you just use cd?
[19:03] <Pnoexz> hey, having partitions problems with fdisk. http://pastebin.com/S8Z0qaJu Why is the 3rd partition marked with + on the blocks column? could this cause for the system not to work, and force busybox shell on start up?
[19:03] <NeverHere> well the eggdrop is not important
[19:04] <cowfish> hmm well idk the only way i know is cd
[19:04] <NeverHere> idk if a shellscript will cd :s
[19:04]  * NeverHere tries
[19:04] <Pici> NeverHere: You may want to check out the topic in #bash as well as the folks there for shell scripting help.
[19:05] <NeverHere> you sent me to ##unix before and no one was there :s
[19:05] <Pici> NeverHere: I'm in #bash right now
[19:06] <NeverHere> :P
[19:07] <mneptok> NeverHere: why not use the entire directory path when calling the executable?
[19:07] <mneptok> NeverHere: IOW, why cd?
[19:07] <NeverHere> well the znc and eddgrop is in two different dir
[19:08] <_cb> Any tricks to keep the unity app bar from popping up every time the cursor is on the left hand side of the screen?
[19:08] <mneptok> NeverHere: oh, so it's not an issue with eggdrop configs. it's your script that runs multiple things.
[19:10] <Milesg> Is it possible to install vm tools on ubuntu server?
[19:11] <vBm> when built in remote desktop in ubuntu 11.10 doesn't work ... and teamviewer is too slow ... to what should i reffer ? (i'm trying to control 11.10 from within windows 7)
[19:12] <Milesg> VBM ssh?
[19:12] <rypervenche> vBm: I personally use x11vnc
[19:13] <rypervenche> vBm: As far as the client on Windows, I don't know what you could use. I use Remmina for Linux.
[19:13] <vBm> Milesg, haven't tried it ... do you have a link to some wiki page for it or should i just google :)
[19:13] <Milesg> Err, Well ssh will only give you command line, not the desktop.
[19:14] <vBm> rypervenche, i used to use TightVNC while i had ubuntu 10.10 ... but now after update i can't get in at all
[19:14] <vBm> Milesg, oh ... then i'm already using that way of controling :D
[19:14] <rypervenche> vBm: Are you doing this over LAN or over the Internet?
[19:14] <Milesg> ssh is used a lot in ubuntu server. since its commandline only.
[19:15] <vBm> rypervenche, over LAN ofc ... need to control pc that's in the attic
[19:19] <vBm> rypervenche, x11vnc looks a bit 'poor' in quality if i dare to say ... any way to show desktop as is ?
[19:19] <Milesg> Well, what do you want quality or speed.
[19:20] <vBm> Milesg, some sort of balance i guess, before on 10.10 using built in desk sharing option i had that :x
[19:21] <perlsyntax> hi
[19:21] <Milesg> teamviewer should be fine for you unless you have crappy bandwidth
[19:22] <vBm> Milesg, i'm using it over LAN so it's a bit of overkill, no ? (to use internet connection to control pc in lan)
[19:23] <mithrop> hi here. I have a little problem with my Plymouth : sometimes at the shutdown, plymouth it is not displayed, or only the loading bar is displayed and at the startup I see a black screen for a long time then plymouth flash up for 2 seconds only. Somebody have an idea ?
[19:24] <perlsyntax> Is the Dell Wireless 1502 supported by linux?
[19:24] <perlsyntax> i not sure if it is or not.
[19:24] <rypervenche> vBm: Just type "x11vnc -localhost -forever -display :0" without the quotes
[19:25] <Milesg> perlsyntax, install ubuntu and find out.
[19:25] <rypervenche> vBm: Then you can use any client to access it using port 5900
[19:25] <perlsyntax> i was thinking of buy the laptop but i not sure about the wireless card ok?
[19:25] <rypervenche> vBm: Actually, get rid of the -localhost
[19:26] <perlsyntax> Ok Milesg
[19:27] <perlsyntax> anyone have that wireless card?
[19:27] <Milesg> dell wireless 1502 WLAN Half mini-card? there is a linux driver for it. Try google.

[19:28] <acer_aspire8930> hi guys, I have set up an LTSP network and most of my old computers I use as thin clients connect using PXE boot with no problem, but I have a couple of machines that only give the option to boot from just LAN, but when I start them up they go straight to CDROM or Hard disk, the BIOS is set to boot off LAN first.  Can anyone help me out here, the motherboards are Gigabyte and should ok to use as thin clients
[19:28] <perlsyntax> sound like no one knows in here.
[19:28] <Milesg> acer_aspire8930: update bios?
[19:29] <xiambax> acer_aspire8930: Have you tried updating the bios? Tested other cables? checked cables? etc?
[19:29] <Milesg> perlsyntax: Milesg> dell wireless 1502 WLAN Half mini-card? there is a linux driver for it. Try google.
[19:29] <Milesg> oh god, he left. :|
[19:29] <vBm> rypervenche, thank you very much, that works the way i need ... any way to start it up upon reboot ... so i don't need to type it everytime ?
[19:30] <acer_aspire8930> Not checked for bios updates, I know the cables work fine, I'll give that a shot, but if the new bios updates do not support PXE boot, is there another way with out purchasing something that does?
[19:30] <xiambax> Yes. You can use a distro to force pxe boot.
[19:31] <acer_aspire8930> oh great please tell :)
[19:33] <fijal> hi
[19:33] <acer_aspire8930> would I have to assign an IP to Mac addr of the NIC? rather than allow the thin client to use DHCP?

[19:33] <fijal> E: pycompile:240: Requested versions are not installed
[19:33] <fijal> anyone ever seen that?

[19:33] <rypervenche> vBm: Make a script for it, then put the script in your startup programs

[19:44] <javier_> I mean, I need the route to java executable file
[19:44] <ubluntu> !ops > revan12_
[19:44] <llutz> javier_: "which java"
[19:44] <ubluntu> arg
[19:44] <ubluntu> someone ban the exploit kid
[19:44] <llutz> javier_: that is a command
[19:46] <neph> hello
[19:46] <WarDekar> hey so I'm setting up a new Linode server, never used Linode before, anyway it's Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm trying to get mysql running... I do "service mysql start" it says it's running
[19:46] <WarDekar> but when I do "ps aux | mysqld" nothing shows up
[19:46] <WarDekar> any ideas?
[19:46] <llutz> WarDekar: missing grep
[19:47] <adom> ^
[19:47] <WarDekar> llutz: right sorry, obv i have grep in there :)
[19:47] <WarDekar> just didn't type it in chat for some reason
[19:47] <WarDekar> it's not starting for some reason even though it claims it has
[19:47] <mneptok> WarDekar: ps aux | grep sql
[19:49] <WarDekar> it's alright i'm an idiot... i copied a my.cnf file and forgot to change the bind-address
[19:49] <WarDekar> duh
[19:49] <WarDekar> so it was stalling on trying to start because of that
[19:49] <d3eniz> erhm... anyone with some ftp experience? I'v got a dynamic dns running and a ftp server client on my comp. When im connecting to my local ip i get the login screen and enters the password and username correctly and can login. When i connect via my ddns i get the login screen of the ftp but gets 425 Failed to establish connection afterwards :S
[19:50] <auronandace> !yay | WarDekar
[19:50] <mang0> haha, that bot is awesome
[19:50] <mang0> <3 ubottu
[19:53] <flintwingel> d3eniz: is your ddns connection going through a firewall?
[19:54] <Muradisdan> sa
[19:54] <CharminTheMoose> I'm having a weird problem with udev and booting an ubuntu livecd. initrd fills /dev with nodes, then moves it over to /dev, but sometime during the rest of the bootup sequence, those get mounted over by another udev FS. Why's this happening?
[19:54] <javier_> llutz: I'm not sure actually, but java files are somewhere between files in /. I need the one executable. I have openJDK java6 Policy tools
[19:54] <d3eniz> i thought of that aswell and disabled my router firewall
[19:54] <CharminTheMoose> I'm having a weird problem with udev and booting an ubuntu livecd. initrd fills /dev with nodes, then moves it over to /dev, but sometime during the rest of the bootup sequence, those get mounted over by another udev FS. Why's this happening?
[19:54] <CharminTheMoose> Oops
[19:54] <llutz> javier_: find ./ -type f -iname \*.jar
[19:54] <CharminTheMoose> *moves it over to /dev on the real root
[19:55] <flintwingel> d3eniz: do you apprecaite how complex the ftp protocol is (i.e. a right pain to get working through a firewall)
[19:56] <Jimu> I'd like a relatively normal install on my USB - currently I've got the Universal USB Installer of U11.10, but I read this might use /tmp on the USB rather than the system RAM?
[19:56] <javier_> llutz: you mean I should search for that command? (./ -type f -iname \*.jar)
[19:56] <flintwingel> d3eniz: the initial connection is made out from the client to a "well known port". under normal circumstances the server will then make a connection back to the client on a random port number
[19:56] <llutz> javier_: aeh, you are trying to find your .jar-files or did i get you wrong?
[19:57] <flintwingel> d3eniz: have you tried PASSIVE?
[19:57] <d3eniz> no
[19:58] <flintwingel> with PASSIVE the second connection goes from the client to the server rather than the other way round
[19:58] <d3eniz> okey?
[19:59] <kikibo> anybody use myth tv?
[19:59] <javier_> llutz: I think you got me wrong. In windows, you can create a .bat file to execute a java file. That .bat file is a text with: "direction of java:programfiles/java/... and more things". I want to create the same tipe of file in Ubuntu. So, in the first part, I need to specify where to find java.
[19:59] <d3eniz> flintwingel: so how do i make it passive?
[19:59] <javier_> llutz: sorry, it's a bit difficult to explain
[20:00] <llutz> javier_: java should be in your path, type "which java" to get the path
[20:00] <vBm> one more question ... i keep loosing amsn icon from taskbar in ubuntu 11.10 (using gnome fallback) ... any way to bring it back (amsn is in background all the time)
[20:00] <flintwingel> d3eniz: depends on the client.... if you're using a text mode client just try typing "passive"
[20:01] <llutz> javier_: then just add into your script "/usr/bin/java -jar  /path/to/file-to-start.jar"
[20:01] <javier_> llutz: what I mean, in windows I have c:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6/bin/java.exe
[20:01] <javier_> llutz: I need the equivalent in my ubuntu machine
[20:01] <llutz> javier_: type "which java"
[20:01] <flintwingel> d3eniz: with graphical clients it's usually an option (tick box) associated with the connection
[20:01] <llutz> into a terminal javier_
[20:01] <d3eniz> flintwingel: using vsftpd
[20:02] <rcmaehl> I need help. I am coding a secure bridge, so to speak, that will allow Wine programs to execute commands in the linux terminal as well as move windows and such in the Linux enviroment. This is an attempt to attract more users such as program developers to Linux as they will not have to change their programming language. However, I need a few recommendations on packages that can be run from a terminal command and cause a GUI based action (such as a wind
[20:02] <rcmaehl> ow movement).
[20:02] <javier_> llutz: /usr/bin/java
[20:02] <javier_> llutz: I guess that's it :)
[20:02] <llutz> javier_: that it is
[20:02] <flintwingel> d3eniz: vsftpd is the server.. it will accept the PASSIVE option but it's the client end that sets it.
[20:02] <d3eniz> oh
[20:03] <llutz> javier_: since it is inside your $PATH, you don't need to write "/usr/bin/java" just "java" does
[20:03] <d3eniz> flintwingel: im using the browser atm but got filezilla installed aswell
[20:04] <flintwingel> d3eniz: it's been a while since I used filezilla but you should find an option for passive connection somewhere is the connection setup
[20:04] <rcmaehl> I already have zenity for message boxes
[20:05] <flintwingel> d3eniz: vsftpd has the option to strictly limit the port numbers it will use to make an ACTIVE connection. The other option would be to restrict the port range from vsftpd and open all those ports on your firewall
[20:06] <javier_> llutz: Thanks, but it doesn't work. In windows that would be the way, but in ubuntu something may be different. It would be something like "/usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar jModelTest.jar" what I want, but I don't get any answer here, it doesn't execute the program
[20:06] <d3eniz> flintwingel: what port range is a good range to restrict / open?
[20:07] <p1l0t> Can one use cat on the cli to get just the last line or last page of a file (like an error log)?
[20:07] <llutz> javier_: "/usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar  /path/to/file-to-start.jar"   you need to specify where the .jar file is
[20:08] <javier_> ah...
[20:08] <javier_> llutz: I'll try
[20:08] <llutz> javier_: yours only would work, it the jModelTest.jar is inside your actual directory
[20:08] <llutz> p1l0t: tail -1 file
[20:09] <p1l0t> llutz: thanks
[20:09] <flintwingel> d3eniz: anything between 1024 and 65535 ;)... generally something like 50000 to 50009 would be ok for a small server. How many simultaneous connections are you expecting?
[20:09] <d3eniz> 1-2 top ^^
[20:09] <llutz> p1l0t: thats last line, last page... "tac file"
[20:10] <p1l0t> llutz: :D works great I wish I knew about this years ago
[20:10] <llutz> p1l0t: "tac file|less"  sry
[20:10] <javier_> llutz: "/usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar /home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/jModelTest.jar". There is where I have it. It doesn't work that way
[20:10] <llutz> p1l0t: theres also "head" for the start of a file
[20:11] <javier_> and the .bat file is in the same folder as jModelTest.jar
[20:11] <p1l0t> tail worked
[20:11] <llutz> javier_: you need to escape the spaces in the path,  /usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar "/home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/jModelTest.jar"
[20:11] <p1l0t> llutz: cool
[20:12] <llutz> javier_: this time the quotes " are important
[20:12] <roger21> hello, my ubuntu don't boot apparently because it can't access a cifs drive, i don't evan have a prompt to modify the fstab, what can i do?
[20:12] <javier_> llutz: you mean I remove spaces in the path (what is inside quotes)?
[20:12] <javier_> so, write Herramientasmoleculares
[20:12] <roger21> obviously this drive is just external data
[20:12] <llutz> javier_: no, you cannot remove the spaces, it would break the path
[20:13] <javier_> llutz: I see. Then?
[20:13] <llutz> javier_: try this, exactly as here:     /usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar "/home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/jModelTest.jar"
[20:14] <styelz> roger21: boot from a live cd and mount the drive and modify
[20:14] <roger21> ok
[20:15] <javier_> llutz, no luck. Guess is something more complicated...
[20:15] <llutz> javier_: whats the error?
[20:15] <javier_> llutz, just, it doesn't start anything. Nothing happens after executing the file
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> llutz: could you symlink the file to make the path simpler?
[20:16] <soee> hmm strange, im running dolphin as root and im loosing sound in videos, music files etc but when deleting files in dolphin  (runs as admin) i have sound notification
[20:16] <soee> any ideas what ius wrong ?
[20:16] <javier_> llutz: I see what can be the problem. I neet it to be .bat file, but I have .txt. How to create a .bat file in text editor?
[20:16] <llutz> javier_: type "cd  /home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/"  or better copy/paste into terminal
[20:16] <SteM> why my 10.04 doesn't ask me to upgrade to a newer version?
[20:17] <llutz> javier_: start your bat file with "sh file.bat"
[20:17] <javier_> llutz, you mean I start it from terminal with sh nameofmyfile.bat?
[20:17] <llutz> javier_: yes
[20:18] <javier_> llutz, but shouldn't I save it as .bat before?
[20:18] <llutz> javier_: the extension doesn't matter, its just characters..
[20:18] <javier_> llutz, ammm
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> soee: what groups is the user in?
[20:18] <javier_> llutz, I'll try
[20:18] <llutz> javier_: this is different from dos/win
[20:19] <soee> ActionParsnip, what user ?
[20:19] <styelz> SteM: you probably have updates set to only LTS version, load up Software Sources app and change the Updates option to any new version.
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> SteM: you probably have the system set to ONLY upgrade to LTS, Considering Precise (also LTS) is out in April, I'd just wait it out (or upgrade now and use the Alpha release)
[20:20] <styelz> jinx
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> soee: the one you cannot gets sounds from....
[20:20] <javier_> llutz, I get this error: Error occurred during initialization of VM; Too small initial heap
[20:21] <llutz> javier_: ask the java-gurus about that... no idea
[20:21] <SteM> styeltz: yes, it is, but why it was not upgrated to 11.04?
[20:21] <javier_> llutz, jejeje. Ok. Thank a lot anywayt
[20:21] <javier_> is there a java room in the chat?=
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> SteM: you will need to upgrade to Maverick, then to Natty... you cannot leapfrog releases, unless you upgrade LTS to LTS
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> javier_: #java
[20:21] <llutz> javier_: ##java
[20:21] <javier_> thanks!
[20:22] <SteM> ActionParsnip: how can i upgrade to Maverick?
[20:22] <llutz> javier_: add "java -Xms128m "
[20:22] <javier_> llutz, in which part?
[20:23] <llutz> javier_: "  /usr/bin/java -mx3500 -Xms128m ....rest of the line"
[20:23] <llutz> javier_: just a thing from google, not sure if that helps
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> SteM: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; gksudo gedit┬Ā/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades     change: Prompt=lts   to: Prompt=normal   save the new file and close gedit then run: sudo do-release-upgrade
[20:24] <javier_> llutz, no, the same thing as before. But thanks again!
[20:24] <styelz> Stem: you could do it all from Terminal.. apt-get update ... then apt-get dist-upgrade  should get it going . but if i were you id install a fresh 10.10 and copy your data over manually.
[20:24] <llutz> javier_: so better to ask the guys with a clue in ##java
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> SteM: personally I'd not do any of that and run:  sudo update-manager -d    and jump straight to Precise l(
[20:25] <catcher> It's new computer time, any recommended docs on picking out hardware?
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> styelz: dist-upgrade  doesn't take you to the next release
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | catcher
[20:25] <auronandace> catcher: intel wifi and cpu and nvidia graphics
[20:26] <llutz> intel graphics too
[20:26] <catcher> thanks - so intel or nvidia for graphics?
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> nvidia has great linux support :)
[20:26] <styelz> ActionParsnip: yea, then do update-manager
[20:26] <llutz> ActionParsnip: but still not free
[20:27] <auronandace> catcher: nvidia, avoid the hybrid graphics
[20:27] <mneptok> my AMD APU works just fine with 11.10
[20:27] <ubluntu> nvidia ftw
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> styelz: its just update-manager, dist-upgrade keeps the user on the same release
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> llutz: is free a necessity?
[20:27] <styelz> ok
[20:27] <llutz> ActionParsnip: nice to have (for me)
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> llutz: I just use what works, nvidia hav supported Linux for ages so they get my cash
[20:28] <zima> hi
[20:28] <zima> can anyone tell me how to get rid of the "sh: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory" warning?
[20:28] <llutz> ActionParsnip: intel works AND is free:)
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> llutz: I'm sure most nvidia chips willperform better than most of even the most recent intel gpus
[20:29] <llutz> zima: you are in a dir, you just deleted
[20:29] <zima> llutz: lulz?
[20:29] <zima> really?
[20:29] <auronandace> llutz: given time nouveau will catch up
[20:29] <zima> llutz: haha, indeed
[20:29] <llutz> ActionParsnip: well, xterm performs well even with intel :)
[20:29] <milen8204> ąźąĄą╗ą╗ąŠ, čéąŠ ą░ą╗ą╗
[20:29] <catcher> WHere's the most accurate list of supported video cards?
[20:29] <zima> privet
[20:30] <mneptok> model name: AMD E-350 Processor  <-- works spledidly with the 3.x kernel and Free 'radeon' driver
[20:30] <milen8204> hello all
[20:30] <catcher> I need a 3-head card
[20:30] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, hello my virtual friend
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> llutz: true but ifpower is needed I'd shoot for nvidia
[20:30] <milen8204> :D
[20:30] <llutz> ActionParsnip: me too
[20:30] <Yozap> Hey everyone, any idea what program to use for overclocking your GPU in linux?
[20:31] <fission6> how do i set an ubuntu timezone to east coast?
[20:31] <llutz> fission6: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[20:31] <Varazir> hi is it posible to run dreambox on a ubuntu client ?
[20:32] <fission6> thanks llutz
[20:34] <Socket-> why would this happen:  scp -i idrsa root@ip:/file /home/user/ works, yet scp -i idrsa user@ip:/file /home/user doesnt work.  I have the same public key in both root/.ssh/authorizedkeys, and user/.ssh/authorizedkeys
[20:35] <dyllan> Hi all. I would like to move my /opt folder to /home/opt and create a link from /opt to /home/opt can i do this safely, ie. without breaking anything?
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> fission6: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime
[20:37] <acer_aspire8930> dyllan I think I would be right in saying yes you can have a look at fstab
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> dyllan: sure, should be ok. I'd do the move in liveCD, then boot to root recovery mode and make the link
[20:38] <dyllan> Thanks guys. Unfortunately im accessing the install remotely, guess ill have to wait until im in front of it.
[20:38] <Socket-> sudo mv dopt /home/dan/
[20:38] <Socket-> sudo ln -sf /home/dan/ dopt
[20:38] <Socket-> i did that as a test and it worked
[20:39] <Socket-> sudo mv /opt /home/ && sudo ln -sf /home/opt/ opt
[20:39] <acer_aspire8930> would anyone recommend running a vm of xp in a thin client setup, would it put a lot of strain on the ltsp server?
[20:40] <dyllan> thnx Socket ill try
[20:40] <Socket-> do a test first ;)
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> acer_aspire8930: on the serverside, depends how much grunt you have
[20:40] <dyllan> will do :)
[20:41] <acer_aspire8930> 10 users and 16gb of memory on a xeon 3.12ghz
[20:41] <habmala> Hi all
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> acer_aspire8930: should be ok, could trial it.
[20:42] <Dame> i got an error while installing java on ubuntu 11
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> acer_aspire8930: why do you want to run something so bulky?
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> Dame: how are you installing it?
[20:42] <acer_aspire8930> I would like to, but don't want to spend company cash just testing i :)
[20:42] <habmala> I'm looking for the ubuntu netbook remix for a friend, but can't find it, has it been removed?
[20:42] <Dame> ActionParsnip, i followed the steps here - http://brunoreis.com/tech/intalling-java-ubuntu-natty/
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> habmala: netbook remix hasn't been coded for a while afik
[20:42] <phibxr> Dame, if you just do "sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin" it will install everything you need.
[20:43] <phibxr> Dame, if you're using 11.10 at least.
[20:43] <Varazir> noone ?
[20:43] <Dame> ok.. so if i followed all these steps, i have to undo them?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> Dame: what is the output of:  uname -m
[20:43] <phibxr> Varazir, I don't even know what dreambox is. :P
[20:43] <habmala> ActionParsnip: K, I'll give him the regular version then.. thanks
[20:43] <Dame> acer_aspire8930, i686
[20:43] <acer_aspire8930> I have to run Sage 200 client unfortunately that's why I need the bulky
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Dame: I'll give you my script to install it.
[20:44] <Dame> i got an error in the final step. command : sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-7-sun
[20:44] <Dame> update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for -javaplugin.so.
[20:44] <Guest81385> Is there a way to manipulate a upnp router via the command line?
[20:44] <zodo> anyone know how i can turn on remote x connection on ubuntu?
[20:45] <Dame> um, ActionParsnip, if you could tell me how to take care of this error..
[20:45] <Dame> i've done everything else
[20:45] <MonkeyDust> zodo  try ssh and startx
[20:45] <Dame> i can't find a solution online for this, though others seem to have come across the same issue
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Dame: not sure if the mirror works or if it violates oracles licensing
[20:45] <MonkeyDust> Dame  you need open-jdk, not sun-jdk
[20:45] <Dame> yeh, one solution said that the folder will be renamed to oracle, ActionParsnip
[20:45] <ubluntu> I think im gonna just boycott java
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Dame: http://paste.ubuntu.com/809025/
[20:46] <Dame> MonkeyDust, i had open -jdk, i wanted to install the latest one.
[20:46] <zodo> MonkeyDust, did not work
[20:46] <Dame> ok, ActionParsnip
[20:46] <MonkeyDust> Dame  sun-jdk is no lopnger supported
[20:46] <MonkeyDust> longer*
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Dame: assuming you use Chromium browser, you can just change the link command to link to whatever browser you use plugins folder
[20:47] <zodo> MonkeyDust, you have a website link? for ubuntu x connections?
[20:47] <Dame> ok
[20:47] <MonkeyDust> zodo  http://vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/X-over-SSH2.html
[20:47] <Dame> so i'll do an ln command and link this to the plugins folder of firefox?
[20:47] <puchaty> huh
[20:47] <Dame> i use firefox
[20:47] <puchaty> reinstalled my touchpad
[20:47] <puchaty> and headphones are working just fine
[20:47] <puchaty> ;)
[20:48] <puchaty> I think even better (no issues with plugging and "quiet") :P
[20:48] <Dame> let me try using your script, ActionParsnip. thanks. i think the last two lines is what was required.
[20:49] <dyllan> seemed to have worked Socket- thnx
[20:50] <matthijs> for some reason unity doesn't recognize that terminal is started and every time I click the icon a new window is created (also doesn't show up in the alt-tab list). Anyone know what might be causing this?
[20:50] <zodo> i really dont understand what is coded differently from other linux distros to get remote x to run on ssh..
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> Dame: its not hard to install manually. I believe there is a new ppa on omgubuntu but again, watch the licensing...
[20:50] <Dame> i found this now - http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> zodo: it's set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> zodo: you can disable it for security, ubuntu has it enabled by default
[20:51] <Dame> and the version is correct on my system
[20:51] <Dame> so.. i'm thinking it worked
[20:51] <MonkeyDust> zodo  use ssh -Y remote-user@remote-IP "some-program"
[20:52] <Dame> ActionParsnip, thank you for the help. :)
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> Dame: np

[20:52] <fission6> how can i update my system time?
[20:53] <MonkeyDust> <3 hot milk

[20:54] <mneptok> fission6: then you are running NTP as a background service already
[20:57] <javier_> Hi! I downloaded a tar.gz file, and I need to install it, but don't know how... any idea?
[20:57] <zodo> ActionParsnip,  i still get an error saying the following.. (xchat:14762): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[20:57] <fman23> zodo what r u trying to do?
[20:57] <Humbedooh> javier_, run 'tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz' to unpack it
[20:57] <danno7_> test
[20:58] <mneptok> zodo: 'ssh -X hostname' WFM. just used Firefox on a remote machine.
[20:58] <Humbedooh> then it should have a readme file or something
[20:58] <cordyceps> anyone have a clue why I can't run ppp0(dialup) and eth0 or wlan0 at the same time?
[20:58] <danno7_> hey, just starting to use unity. Haven't decided if I like it or not. Where the heck is Gparted and the system tools for managing harddrives???
[20:59] <guntbert> danno7_: open the dash and start typing disk....
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> danno7_: press ALT+F2 and run:  gksudo gparted     should be ok, if not then install gparted to make sure it is present
[20:59] <llutz> cordyceps: same time to connect to the internet?
[21:00] <danno7_> guntbert: oh for petes sake...
[21:00] <cordyceps> llutz can't be done, have to disconnect wifi and ethernet
[21:00] <danno7_> I guess its not called gparted anymore?
[21:00] <guntbert> danno7_: I beg your pardon?
[21:01] <Humbedooh> hmm?
[21:01] <llutz> cordyceps: no, just set default route to ppp0
[21:01] <danno7_> guntbert: an expresion...means ffs
[21:01] <Humbedooh> danno7_, did you install gparted in the first place? :>
[21:01] <Humbedooh> it's not installed by default iirc
[21:01] <javier_> Humbedooh, ah, thanks. That's for unpacking. But I see now I need to compile the program, which is going to be too difficult for me. But thanks!
[21:02] <Humbedooh> javier_, usually, you just run ./configure and then make and make install
[21:02] <diverdude> I have just connected a new HD. How do i see if it has been detected in my ubuntu (termninal only)
[21:02]  * cordyceps googling "set default route"
[21:02] <danno7_> I dont think I have ever installed gparted. I thought it was part of the base install of Ubuntu
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: sudo fdisk -l
[21:02] <llutz> diverdude: dmesg, sudo fdisk -l
[21:02] <Humbedooh> danno7_, no, it's part of the livecd, but not the installed version afaik
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> danno7_: worth running:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted     just to be sure
[21:03] <javier_> Humbedooh, ah, I did ./configure. Now just type "make" and later just tape "make install"?
[21:03] <danno7_> hmm, I guess maybe I had installed it at some point on my other versions of ubuntu. Go figure
[21:03] <danno7_> anywho, thanks for the help. I can take it from here
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> javier_: make install will need sudo
[21:03] <javier_> ActionParsnip, but with make it doesnt make anything
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> javier_: what are you compiling?
[21:04] <Humbedooh> javier_, yes, and as PactionArsnip said, make install will require sudo
[21:04] <Humbedooh> or, in most cases it will
[21:04] <diverdude> llutz, hmm ok... in the list is only mentioned /devsda[1,2,5]...so its not there...but below there is a block of text describing the disk (1500GB - so its that one) and its named /dev/sdb. Why is it not named sda?
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: is it a PATA drive?
[21:05] <llutz> diverdude: sda 1st hdd, sdb 2nd hdd, sdc 3rd ....
[21:05] <sneezewort> Is there a way to view the update history in ubuntu server?
[21:05] <zodo> if ubuntu is so user friendly why isnt there a gui app that will turn on and off remote x connections?
[21:05] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, its sata
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> sneezewort: /var/log/dpkg.log
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: hmm, strange
[21:06] <diverdude> llutz, ahh ok...so all i need to do now is format /dev/sdb and mount it?
[21:06] <llutz> diverdude: your /dev/sdb contains no partitions yet
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: i'd read through:  dmesg | tail  to see what's going on
[21:06] <MonkeyDust> zodo  i guess there are plenty programs for remote connections in ubuntu
[21:06] <llutz> diverdude: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb    to create at least one partition, if you don't want to use the raw-drive
[21:06] <deeb> Ok this might be a question that could be asked in #mysql as well, but as it is ubuntu I am working on I am asking it here: What is the difference between the "mysql"  and "php5-mysql" package?
[21:06] <zodo> MonkeyDust, really?  all my other linux distros i have tested work fine on remote x apps..  ubuntu does not
[21:07] <sneezewort> ActionParsnip: Thanks.
[21:07] <diverdude> llutz, whats the advantage of creating a partion over using the rawdrive? Im gonna only use a single partition anyway
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> zodo  you could make a list of things you're missing in ubuntu
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: you'll need to partition it to format it
[21:08] <llutz> diverdude: theres no, but some automatisms (udev, hal) might fail as say expect partitioned-drives
[21:08] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, ahh ok..
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: plus you'll get the journal which keeps data consistent
[21:08] <llutz> ActionParsnip: he doesn't
[21:08] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, great...ill just format it then :)
[21:08] <llutz> s/say/they/
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> llutz: it makes life easier
[21:08] <diverdude> and partion hhehe
[21:08] <llutz> ActionParsnip: true
[21:08] <zodo> MonkeyDust, where do i post it at..
[21:09] <meerkats> am I the only one having probloem with xsan under 11.10?
[21:09] <meerkats> am I the only one having problems with xsane under 11.10?
[21:09] <javier_> Humbedooh: it's a bioinformatics app called Garli
[21:09] <llutz> diverdude: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb    "c" "p" "1" "w" "q" ;)
[21:09] <diverdude> llutz, it says something about DOS-compatible mode is deprecated...its a warningshould i just ignore that?
[21:09] <MonkeyDust> zodo  don't know exactly, launchpad is always a good place to start
[21:10] <javier_> Humbedooh, after make I write the name of the program?
[21:10] <diverdude> c p l w q ?
[21:10] <zodo> MonkeyDust, launchpad?
[21:10] <Humbedooh> no, just make
[21:10] <llutz> diverdude: shouldn't harm
[21:10] <Humbedooh> then it spits out a bunch of text for a while, and when it's done, you write 'sudo make install'
[21:10] <Humbedooh> and enter your super secret password
[21:11] <llutz> diverdude: sry,  n p 1 w q   that will create one primary partition in fdisk :)
[21:11] <diverdude> llutz, what are those option flags you wrote? i dont see them in man fdisk
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> javier_: what are you compiling?
[21:11] <MonkeyDust> zodo  or look here, maybe this is a place to submit your ideas http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[21:11] <javier_> ActionParsnip, a bioinformatics app called garli
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> !info garli
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[21:12] <diverdude> llutz, w,p and q is not in the options list
[21:12] <llutz> diverdude: "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb"   then press "n" for "new partition", p for primary, 1 for sdb1, "w" to write, "q" to quit
[21:12] <diverdude> llutz, n also not
[21:12] <diverdude> ahhh
[21:12] <diverdude> hehehehe
[21:12] <diverdude> ok i get it :D
[21:13] <diverdude> sorry
[21:13] <zodo> MonkeyDust, ok cool.. i can see that ubuntu is way behind on some very user friendly options that most other distros have allready implemented
[21:13] <lm1> If you do a whois in via GUI, does that info get logged on server or is it only displayed privately?
[21:13] <MonkeyDust> zodo  work to be done! good luck! ;)
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> javier_: are you compiling  garli 0.96b8-2?
[21:13] <nronksr> Anybody know an enterprise ticketing system that is gnu?
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> lm1: private
[21:14] <javier_> ActionParsnip, no, garli 2.0
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> javier_: gah, found a ppa and everything :(
[21:14] <Votary> where does ubunut still the xchat conf files?
[21:14] <Votary> stick evven
[21:14] <Votary> damnit...
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> Votary: in $HOME
[21:14] <Votary> ok thanks
[21:14] <diverdude> llutz, First sector (2048-123456432, default 2048): Do i press w or just enter?
[21:14] <llutz> diverdude: sry, just enter/enter
[21:14] <guntbert> Votary: ~/.xchat2
[21:15] <javier_> ActionParsnip, I see...
[21:16] <diverdude> llutz, hmmm i pressed enter/enter and then w...and then it wrote "The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks.     and then it just automatically quit
[21:16] <zodo> the idea is to give the user an options they need, without hitting the command line and putting all that stuff in for a remote x connection
[21:16] <diverdude> llutz, wasn't it supposed to format it?
[21:16] <llutz> diverdude: nope, sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sdb1
[21:16] <guntbert> zodo: please stop that ranting - start coding instead
[21:17] <xanscale> need help with fglrx amd ati drivers
[21:17] <diverdude> llutz, ahh now its doing stuff
[21:17] <diverdude> llutz, for 1.5 TB...will this take a while?
[21:18] <xanscale> why with fglrx unity works great and gnome-shell works but top bar are green/blue ?
[21:18] <llutz> diverdude: not too long, time to grab a beer
[21:18] <diverdude> llutz, haha i like your way of thinking :D
[21:18] <phibxr> xanscale, is that radeon?
[21:20] <diverdude> llutz, ahhh got me 1 beer :D
[21:20] <diverdude> llutz, nice cold special brew...just the way i like it :P
[21:21] <cordyceps> llutz: ppp0 is the default according to route :default         *               0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 ppp0
[21:22] <diverdude> llutz, done...was that it? or is there more?
[21:22] <lm1> Anyone using nvidia SLI?
[21:22] <llutz> diverdude: thats it, no select a mount-point, add a line to /etc/fstab and enjoy your beer
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> beer goooood
[21:22] <llutz> now*
[21:23] <cordyceps> llutz: also I just need to modprobe the wifi driver and ppp0 will drop off
[21:23] <diverdude> llutz, /media/storage ?
[21:23] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, beeeer much goood
[21:23] <diverdude> :d
[21:23] <diverdude> :D
[21:23] <llutz> diverdude: what do you want to use it for?
[21:23] <diverdude> llutz, storage :D
[21:24] <llutz> diverdude: hrm, just one user or more?
[21:24] <diverdude> llutz, welll maybe its good to put in a place for multiple users
[21:25] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, me drinking special copenhagen carlsberg brew :D gooooooooooooooooood
[21:25] <llutz> diverdude: ok, you'll have to adjust ownership/permissions then. id mount it to /storage, /media is more for dynamically mounted stuff
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: not had copenhagen brew, I have a cup of PG Tips :)
[21:26] <diverdude> llutz, whoo its the first time i have ever created a new dir in root :D
[21:26] <pippo> ciao
[21:26] <llutz> diverdude: there is always a 1st time, so do it.  "Schussenrieder Schwarzbier No1" btw :)
[21:27] <llutz> diverdude: sudo mkdir /storage && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /storage
[21:27] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, whooooo i like their presentation movie : D http://www.pgtips.co.uk/
[21:28] <diverdude> llutz, ahh Schussenrieder Schwarzbier No1   i like the dark ones
[21:28] <diverdude> llutz, ahh ok... and also add it to /etc/fstab?
[21:28] <llutz> diverdude: yes
[21:29] <meerkats> should a very unstable GUI worry me? it just changed withouth warning
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: gui to what?
[21:29] <meerkats> crap, my mouse just stopped working
[21:29] <diverdude> llutz, so i just add a new line to /etc/fstab : mount /dev/sdb1 /storage ?
[21:30] <joe__rebel> How exactly do I register for a particular channel?
[21:30] <meerkats> forgive the noob ActionParsnip , but GUI = graphical interface?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: I suggest you use UUIDs
[21:30] <llutz> diverdude: naaaa, "/dev/sdb1   /storage  ext4   default,noatime 0 0"
[21:30] <HSarena> Hi! My touchpad does n't work, plz help me, i have Vaio Laptop and have 11.10
[21:30] <diverdude> meerkats, yes
[21:30] <meerkats> ok
[21:30] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, UUIDs ? Is that difficult to use?
[21:30] <Votary> :1212
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: yes, but to what thing. Like xsane is a GUI for sane, gparted is a gui to parted.
[21:30] <llutz> diverdude: or UUID=  from "blkid /dev/sdb1" instead of /dev/sdb1
[21:31] <meerkats> help with this one: im stuck here, my mouse does not work, how can I use the keyboard to change between open windows? I need to access the terminal and circle to firefox too...
[21:31] <Duality> hi
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: no, the default install uses them. You can see the UUIDs of your partitions by running:   sudo blkid
[21:31] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, ubuntu GUI
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: so you mean Unity...
[21:31] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, im using fallback, if that means something
[21:31] <DLCN> Hi, is there a way to re-take my terminal after an SSH session has timed out in it?
[21:32] <HSarena> is there anyone can help me????
[21:32] <DLCN> it seems to have become unresponsive
[21:32] <diverdude> llutz, so that line i should add to /etc/fstab is : "UUID=  from "blkid /dev/sdb1" ?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: you can use a terminal to unload then reload the mouse module
[21:32] <llutz> diverdude: nnoooo
[21:32] <diverdude> hehehehe
[21:32] <llutz> diverdude: either "/dev/sdb1   /storage  ext4   default,noatime 0 0"
[21:32] <diverdude> :D
[21:33] <llutz> diverdude: or UUID=(from "blkid /dev/sdb1")   /storage ext4 ......."
[21:33] <Duality> I am not so used to command line, i know some things to get my way around, but i installed ubuntu Server, and also want it to share network to other computers, in normal ubuntu with gui i did edit connections and set ipv4 settings to shared to other computers, how can i accomplish this on ubuntu server?
[21:33] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, somethin really strange: I connected an independet mouse via USB and this one works (craptop user here, with an embedded mouse area)
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: what make and model system?
[21:33] <diverdude> llutz, whats the ....... ?
[21:33] <llutz> diverdude: the rest from the line before like "UUID=411c1a24-092e-4400-aee0-07e618cd9dbf       /storage           ext4  defaults,noatime 0 0"
[21:34] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, the independent mouse is a logitech M180
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: no, the system, not the mouse
[21:34] <meerkats> a lol
[21:34] <HSarena> Hi! my touchpad doesn't work, how to fix it???
[21:34] <diverdude> llutz, hmm
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: what make and model system?
[21:35] <llutz> diverdude: "blkid /dev/sdb1" to get the easy-to-remember UUID-string
[21:35] <diverdude> wooo
[21:36] <jurua> helo
[21:36] <diverdude> llutz, cant i do something like blkid /dev/sdb1 >> /etc/fstab ?
[21:36] <diverdude> llutz, to append it
[21:36] <HSarena> ActionParsnip : i have Vaio laptop and have ubuntu 11.10
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: thought so
[21:36] <catno7> is this #ubuntu-unregged
[21:36] <llutz> diverdude: as root, yes
[21:36] <elfranne> i added a second hdd on my ubuntu server but it is not showing up in ls -l /dev/sd* (it is a sata disk)
[21:37] <diverdude> llutz, ofc. im root :D
[21:37] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, sorry, do you mean kernel and gnome information?
[21:37] <jurua> rai
[21:37] <diverdude> llutz, but im not drinking root beer :P
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: add the boot option:   i8024.nomux=1
[21:37] <jurua> talk
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: no, the make and model of the laptop. Sony Vaio, Acer Aspire, Dell Lattitude??? Nothing at all to do with the operating system at all
[21:38] <jurua> mi frem
[21:38] <HSarena> ActionParsnip : How??
[21:39] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, sorry, AHTEC
[21:39] <jurua> helo
[21:39] <jurua> help kubuntu
[21:40] <auronandace> jurua: you'll need to explain the problem
[21:40] <elfranne> i added a second hdd on my headless linux server but it is not showing up in ls -l /dev/sd* (it is a sata disk) any idea why ?
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: in /etc/default/grub    the default boot options are:  quiet splash    add the option in there then run:  sudo update-grub      Instead of immediately asking for clarification, you could do just a tiny bit of searching and find guides based o what I replied....
[21:40] <chrischw> hi everyone...
[21:40] <chrischw> i need some help with kdenlive
[21:40] <n000b> hi chrischw ;)
[21:40] <diverdude> llutz, sweet so i now have in my /etc/fstab:    /dev/sdb1: UUID="dsa fdsaf -fds as fdsa f" TYPE="ext4"   Should i change it so that the line reads:      UUID="dsa fdsaf -fds as fdsa f"        /storage           ext4  defaults,noatime 0 0 ?
[21:40] <jurua> o
[21:40] <chrischw> can anyone help a lost newbie?
[21:40] <jurua> mi proxy help
[21:41] <MonkeyDust> chrischw  shoot
[21:41] <llutz> diverdude: without the quotes around the UUID
[21:41] <n000b> someone who knows kdenlive out there? o.O
[21:41] <th^2> hello. i can choose a DNS server in my routers LAN conf. i dont understand what does that mean...
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: try the boot option: i8042.reset
[21:41] <chrischw> ok, so kdenlive works fine on 11.10 64 bit, but the rendering does not work...
[21:42] <jurua> yes
[21:42] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, open terminal, copy that, right?
[21:42] <llutz> th^2: that means, if you don't like the one your ISP offers, use your own
[21:42] <lm1> Anyone game under linux?  If so, whats your hardware?
[21:42] <chrischw> everything results in the meaningless error "rendering crashed"
[21:42] <diverdude> llutz, and then restart system?
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: see the long line I gave HSarena earlier
[21:42] <llutz> diverdude: why?
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> lm1: i do a little
[21:42] <chrischw> any idea?
[21:42] <diverdude> llutz, to make changes take effect :D
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> lm1: Dell D420 plays urban terror just dandy
[21:43] <llutz> diverdude: no need
[21:43] <th^2> llutz, but my eth0 is configured to use googles dns :S
[21:43] <diverdude> llutz, ok...how do i then make the changes take effect0+
[21:43] <diverdude> =?
[21:43] <llutz> diverdude: sudo mount /storage
[21:44] <bastidrazor> diverdude: sudo mount -a  will mount anything in fstab that isn't mounted
[21:44] <llutz> diverdude: that'll mount it now. next time you boot, it will do automatic
[21:44] <sskalnik> For some reason, chromium under Ubuntu has left part of an image stuck on my screen. Even when I exit chromium part of a page's image is stuck on the screen. :/
[21:44] <sskalnik> Ah, nvm, fixed. Bizarre.
[21:45] <diverdude> WONDERFUL
[21:45] <Duality> how can i share a network connection on ubuntu server?
[21:45] <diverdude> now i have enlarged my playground with 1.5 TB :D
[21:45] <diverdude> now i have room for so much nitty gritty linux warez :D
[21:46] <sskalnik> Nevermind again; looks like that patch of the screen just got replaced with another image
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> !ics | Duality
[21:49] <Duality> that's gui ..?
[21:49] <LjL> Duality: it gives both a GUI option and a command-line option, scroll down.
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> Duality: it can be
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> Duality: try reading the link, then ask questions...
[21:51] <diverdude> uhhh i wish cp had some output to see its progress like scp has
[21:51] <LjL> diverdude: cp --verbose
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: you can use rsync which can give a progress bar
[21:51] <sskalnik> cp -v
[21:51] <popey> diverdude: you can use pv to get status of cp command
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/cp-progress-bar-407381/
[21:52] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, nice... rsync -r src dest ?

[21:53] <HSarena> ActionParsnip : Sorry, but i don't understand. you mean add "i8024.nomux=1" in "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= "
[21:54] <bugaloo> Hi all! Here is the thing: I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed in a broken notebook. I was able to start this broken notebook enough to make an image of its hd. I want to know if/how I use this image and run it in a virtualbox machine. anyone?
[21:55] <HSarena>  ActionParsnip : sometimes one of the clicks don't work, sometimes i can't clicking, and sometimes a pointer won't move
[21:55] <LjL> bugaloo: it's probably better to just mount it and save the data...
[21:55] <theadmin> bugaloo: What kind of image? dd?
[21:55] <bugaloo> theadmin, I have dd image of the partition where ubuntu was running before
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: change this line:   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"    to:    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.nomux=1"
[21:56] <bugaloo> LjL: this isn't enough for me... I need to run the machine
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: I can't put it any plainer.
[21:56] <n000b> hello? some one here who can help me with kdenlive?
[21:56] <theadmin> bugaloo: If so, well, you need to convert it to a vdi: http://dd2vmdk.appspot.com/
[21:57] <theadmin> bugaloo: This needs a working system though... There are other tools around too
[21:57] <bugaloo> theadmin, I already converted it... but once my image is from "sda1" and not "sda" it seems the virtualbox thinks my image has a hd with no partition table
[21:57] <theadmin> bugaloo: Ah, well, you have a partition image... That ain't gonna work at all
[21:58] <theadmin> bugaloo: VirtualBox doesn't deal with partitions, only drives >.<
[21:58] <bugaloo> theadmin, yes, sorry... I miss explained ... it's a partition image
[21:58] <bugaloo> theadmin, but I guess there is a way to use it yet... with some work of course
[21:59] <theadmin> bugaloo: Well if there is then I dunno
[21:59] <bugaloo> theadmin, I can "mount" the partition image converted in vdi on my virtualbox running a live ubuntu iso
[21:59] <geekbri> is there a dry run mode for apt-get ?
[22:00] <LjL> geekbri: --dry-run works
[22:00] <theadmin> geekbri: Yeah, apt-get --dry-run
[22:00] <bugaloo> theadmin, so I'm trying right now to do this: I created another vdi (with partition table, sda and sda1) and I mounted both vdi's (my sda1 and sdb with the partition image) and I did "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb1"
[22:00] <geekbri> theadmin, LjL: well then, thanks... that was easy :)
[22:00] <bugaloo> I hope my partition image sda goes to the sdb1 partition
[22:00] <bugaloo> but I'm not sure if this is going to work, and takes a bit to do it because it's a large partition
[22:01] <bugaloo> so i'm looking for another idea in the mean time
[22:01] <hydrox24> bugaloo: another idea for what exactly?
[22:01] <bugaloo> hydrox24, i just said it all hehe
[22:02] <HSarena> ActionParsnip : Thank you and Sorry about my stupid question but can you tell me what  this action do? , just to know
[22:02] <hydrox24> bugaloo: sorry :/
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub     change the file, save the new file, close gedit then run:  sudo update-grub
[22:03] <bugaloo> hydrox24, that's ok... I'd repeat but it was a long explanation, hehe... and I'm lazy :P
[22:03] <epaphus> Hello guys... what is the best way to install java6 (from sun) in firefox as a plugin? I have 10.04
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> epaphus: there is no best way
[22:03] <epaphus> ActionParsnip, ok.. what would be my options..
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> epaphus: what is the output of:  uname -m
[22:03] <bugaloo> java plugins is always a pain
[22:04] <diverdude> llutz, ok..moving 250GB takes some time
[22:04] <diverdude> llutz, *copying
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> bugaloo: not hugely. I have it scripted
[22:04] <bugaloo> ActionParsnip, nice
[22:04] <llutz> diverdude: time for the next beer ;)
[22:04] <diverdude> llutz, hahahahaa
[22:04] <bastidrazor> i agree
[22:05] <RadiumCat> hi, how do i switch input languages in xubuntu 11.somethng?
[22:05] <kent> d
[22:05] <kent> ping abatoo
[22:05] <diverdude> llutz, many beers :D
[22:05] <akston> Does anyone else get intermittent uPNP connections w/ Ubuntu? I can't quite figure out what's going on but think I've eliminated the router and database as causes
[22:05] <diverdude> llutz, ill do some programming meanwhile :P
[22:05] <diverdude> llutz, afterall..i am a geek
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> epaphus: if you can give the output of the command, I can give you a script and it will install Java for you...
[22:06] <llutz> diverdude: have fun, i'll keep sorting mp3s :(
[22:06] <diverdude> llutz, ohh nice..i should do that as well...im just to lazy
[22:06] <epaphus> ActionParsnip, yes one min please
[22:06] <bugaloo> ActionParsnip, you should but a "uname -m" variable in your script, hehehe... just kiddin' :)
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> bugaloo: was thinking about it actually :)
[22:07] <bugaloo> ActionParsnip, it's a good idea if you already have the scripts separated
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> bugaloo: it's just the downloaded file which would change
[22:08] <goddard> can i use gpg in gmails web interface?
[22:08] <bugaloo> yep
[22:08] <lm1> lm1: tst
[22:08] <diverdude> llutz, i wonder when a mp3 sorter will  be invented
[22:08] <diverdude> llutz, a proper one
[22:09] <goddard> bugaloo: sweet how!
[22:09] <goddard> HOW HOW
[22:09] <lm1> ActionParsnip: tst
[22:09] <LjL> !test | lm1
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> lm1: tst to you too
[22:09] <llutz> diverdude: i'd like a working service, where i just can upload some checksums of untagged files and get id3-tags back
[22:10] <LjL> llutz: musicbrainz sorta does that
[22:10] <diverdude> llutz, ohh yes that would be awesome
[22:10] <llutz> LjL: unfortunately not really good when it come to Blues/rock (music for old men, you know) :(
[22:11] <epaphus> ActionParsnip, i686
[22:11] <diverdude> llutz, hey...i like blues and rock.....are you calling me old
[22:11] <llutz> diverdude: never
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> epaphus: sweet, ok run this lot. You'll need to change the link command to copy it to Firefox's plugins folder: http://paste.ubuntu.com/809110/
[22:12] <ratcheer> I like blues and rock. And I am old.
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> ratcheer: not at all
[22:12] <llutz> i guess it's time to leave or to change to !ot
[22:12] <epaphus> ActionParsnip, ok cool . ill try it
[22:12] <ratcheer> ActionParsnip: Thanks!
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> ratcheer: np
[22:13] <diverdude> ohh yes.. llutz, ActionParsnip thx for the help b4
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: always a pleasure, thanks for the gratitude
[22:14] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, i dont think i could run linux without these help channels...really
[22:14] <Wargasm> diverdude: agreed
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: the community helps itself :)
[22:16] <bugaloo> for guys who like this kind of support, dont forget to come back when you know enough to help someone
[22:16] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, but i have fallen in love with opensource...dont think ill ever leave it again
[22:17] <diverdude> bugaloo, certaainly...i also try to help where i can
[22:18] <heoa> how can I run many files in bin at the same tim?
[22:18] <heoa> err time?
[22:19] <heoa> ./bin/*
[22:19] <heoa> It runs only one file, I want some easy way to run many -- I know how to do that with a file but there must be some straightforward wildcard or some shell-based solution
[22:19] <hydrox24> heoa: like, tun many of the executables in parralell?
[22:19] <bugaloo> heoa, use "&"
[22:20] <bugaloo> like... ./file1 & ./file2 & ./file3
[22:20] <bugaloo> it'll run all them
[22:20] <hydrox24> heoa: that's right, the "&" will put each command run into the background allowing the next one to being immediately
[22:20] <mun> hi
[22:20] <hydrox24> no,
[22:20] <hydrox24> heoa: "./bin/* &"
[22:20] <laptop> Joe
[22:20] <hydrox24> the & puts the command in the background
[22:20] <DFan247> test...
[22:21] <hydrox24> DFan247: loud & clear
[22:21] <DFan247> thanks!
[22:21] <Guest54531> hello
[22:21] <mun> i have a server that has 2 interfaces connected: wlan0 and usb0 (tethering). the usb0 was connected first and all traffic seems to be going through that. is there a way to force traffic through wlan0 via console?
[22:21] <heoa> hydrox24: sorry but that is not right, it puts the one file to background
[22:22] <bugaloo> mun, change your default route
[22:22] <mun> bugaloo, how do i do that?
[22:22] <llutz> mun: sudo route del default && sudo route add default wlan0
[22:22] <bugaloo> mun, route del default ; route add default gw wlan0
[22:22] <bugaloo> min, execute it as root
[22:22] <Guest54531> where's the free porn?
[22:22] <bugaloo> Guest54531, off, against sopa hehehe
[22:22] <pangolin> Guest54531: wrong network
[22:22] <mun> bugaloo, llutz thanks so much.
[22:23] <hydrox24> Guest54531: Only tech porn here, and yes, pangolin is right
[22:23] <bugaloo> anytime
[22:23] <imbezol> heoa: ls -1 | while read FILE ; do $FILE ; done
[22:23] <Guest54531> haha, sopa
[22:23] <hydrox24> bugaloo: WIN
[22:23] <imbezol> heoa: though that does them one at a time
[22:23] <bugaloo> ;)
[22:23] <Guest54531> internet is funded by taxpayers, it should be censored
[22:23] <Titomen> Hi..has any body done an image with partimage on a system build on software raid: raid1 boot- radi1 swap, raid 5 system, raid 5 home?
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Guest54531: that is offtopic here, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:24] <pangolin> Guest54531: This is a Ubuntu support channel, please stick to the topic.
[22:24] <bugaloo> Guest54531, ok... I have nothing against your porn question, but now you're getting my hate, hehe
[22:24] <Titomen>  Hi..has any body done an image with partimage on a UBUNTU system build on software raid: raid1 boot- radi1 swap, raid 5 system, raid 5 home?
[22:24] <Guest54531> the porn thing was a joke. I'm against porn and stealing so logically for sopa
[22:25] <pangolin> Guest54531: last warning.
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest54531: that is offtopic here, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:25] <sunnycenter> yo
[22:25] <hydrox24> heoa: You could use the "gnu parrallels" program to run multiple programs concurrently.
[22:26] <Titomen> pangolin: thanks to be so polite and educated, ActionParsnip: Thanks for the real help..That is what this should be for "Help....Thanks ActionParsnip
[22:27] <hydrox24> no gnu, no wikipedia, how the hell am I supposed to help people!!!!
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Titomen: always a pleasure :)
[22:27] <hydrox24> I live in australia and support the anti-SOPA cause but this is getting really annoying!
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> hydrox24: when did gnu stop?
[22:27] <redlegoreng> Hello ! I'm trying to install ubuntu on my ThinkadW520. I used universal usb installer to copy the ISO to an external usb harddrive. Everything worked, but now, when i choose my external drive in the boot menu, it does not load (goes back to the load menu). Does it matter that it's a hard drive and not a flash drive ?
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> SOPA is offtopic here
[22:27] <hydrox24> ActionParsnip: don't know
[22:27] <imbezol> heoa: ls -1 | while read FILE ; do $FILE & done
[22:27] <imbezol> heoa: that does them all at once
[22:27] <laptop_> What happened to Ubuntu? It used to be great but now UNITY sucks. Are windows developers trying to destroy it?
[22:28] <Wargasm> hydrox24 wiki works, you just have to click stop before it goes to the SOPA page
[22:28] <hydrox24> sorry, was trying to lookup parrallels info on the gnu.org site
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> redlegoreng: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded
[22:28] <Night-hacks> synaptics disable key doesn't works on my ubuntu 11.04 (toshiba portege)
[22:28] <Titomen> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[22:28] <hydrox24> Wargasm: might just use lynx
[22:28] <phibxr> laptop_, yes, we actually are.
[22:28] <redlegoreng> no, I'll do that now
[22:28] <krumme> hey all is ther some one the know if i can install Ubuntu on my iphone
[22:28] <Night-hacks> synaptics touchpad disable key doesn't works on my ubuntu 11.04 (toshiba portege)
[22:29] <hydrox24> krumme: only a basic version of linux known as busybox... what sort of phone is it?
[22:29] <laptop_> iphones are for stupid people
[22:29] <krumme> hydrox24 iphone 4
[22:29] <hydrox24> Night-hacks: Unfortunately those are the sorts of issues you'll have to test your google-fu with.
[22:29] <phibxr> !trolling | laptop_
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> krumme: seems to be an ARM CPU, so you could
[22:29] <phibxr> Crap, didn't exist.
[22:29] <[deXter]> phibxr, you just got trolled by ubottu  ;)
[22:29] <Wargasm> laptop_: try a different DE, thats what I did and its great when you find one that works for you
[22:29] <hydrox24> krumme: The first few iPhones can run a busybox linux, but no touch support, so basically only potential for hacking and geeks. it isn't practical
[22:30] <laptop_> No, really. Have windows developers tried to kill Ubuntu? This Unity thing is HORRIBLE.
[22:30] <yorkz> iphone 4 suxxxx
[22:30] <lm1> How did the SOPA bill do anyway, did they vote today or was it just the blackout?
[22:30] <Night-hacks> hydrox24: is there any way to get any input values in x input ? wanna check if linux gets any signal from that key ?
[22:30] <redlegoreng> ActionParsnip: where's the checksum ? i dont see it on the download page
[22:30] <krumme> hydrox24 :( soo no Ubuntu for my iphone
[22:30] <phibxr> laptop_, we hired the same team that designed windows vista. pretty, isn't it?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> laptop_: you don't have to use Unity or Gnome..
[22:30] <Humbedooh> lml, just blackout
[22:30] <hydrox24> krumme: Android works kinda OK on older iPhones: http://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2010/04/ive-been-working-on-this-quietly-in.html
[22:30] <epaphus> ActionParsnip, worked perfectly. If I download a .jnlp file (to be executed by the JRE directly without the browser) How could i do this...? do you know?
[22:30] <hydrox24> krumme: Essaentially no.
[22:30] <alien2050> laptop_: there are many other options all using ubuntu, like gnome-shell, e17, kde, lxde, etc.... so you're not bound to use unity...
[22:30] <Humbedooh> lml, wait till January 24th for the good voting stuff :)
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Humbedooh: if you are quick on the STOP button in your browser, you can read wikis
[22:31] <Humbedooh> ActionParsnip, uhm, I know?
[22:31] <hydrox24> laptop_: I use gnome 3. I love it to bits
[22:31] <laptop_> PHIBXR, that's what it appears like. This stupid bar on the left sucks. Going over to Mint
[22:31] <yorkz> well unity is sort of a failure imo
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> epaphus: not sure, I only use java in browser
[22:31] <alien2050> hydrox24: +1
[22:31] <epaphus> ActionParsnip, thanks
[22:31] <Wargasm> laptop_: I use lxde... I love that so far... except for the battery monitor GRRR
[22:31] <epaphus> Anybody know how i can run a .jnlp with the JRE in Ubuntu?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Humbedooh: well, I'm not fully up on what you know and what you don't know, do I, uhm?
[22:32]  * Humbedooh slaps ActionParsnip 
[22:32] <hydrox24> yeah, I find gnome 3 has a steep learning/comfort curve but stick with it for a week or so and you'll be addicted
[22:32] <alien2050> epaphus: yep it should work... I did it before with sun ELOM apps
[22:32] <laptop_> I am using gnome and I still have this stupid bar on the left like windows
[22:32] <hydrox24> I stuck with unity for 2 weeks atleast to break it in and still didn't like it THAT much... its OK
[22:32] <epaphus> alien2050, double cliking it just opens a window to select how to open it.. not sure what i should do though
[22:33] <hydrox24> laptop_: you'll find that unity is infact a baked-on extension for gnome
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> laptop_: install xfce4  you will not have Unity and you can run all your favourite Gnome apps
[22:33] <nronksr> Anybody know an enterprise ticketing system that is gnu?
[22:33] <hydrox24> nronksr: This probably isn't the right channel
[22:33] <alien2050> epaphus: it's been some time, but I think it needs to find your java bins... try from command line it should give you more info
[22:33] <hydrox24> ask that on the whirlpool or linux forums
[22:33] <laptop_> Action, I'll try that
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> laptop_: there are plenty of desktops you can use
[22:34] <hydrox24> laptop_: I also recommend xfce4 for simplicity and stability, but I think gnome-shell is more efficient and fun.
[22:34] <kent> about shh tunneling, downloading files through the server does that strain its connection speed? anythoughts?
[22:34] <hydrox24> laptop_: I reckkon xfce4 is outdated but then again, that IS why people love it so much
[22:34] <redlegoreng> ActionParsnip: i compared checksums, it's ok... i'll try once more, but it is supposed to work as well on external hard drives as well, right ?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> laptop_: here is my desktop in Precise. I use LXDE: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png
[22:35] <hydrox24> kent: more specific?
[22:35] <ahammond> kent: it incurs some processor overhead and creates additional latency.
[22:35] <laptop_> hydrox I installed gnome shell but still have the stupid bar on the left
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> redlegoreng: ot sure then, try making the bootable device with a different app
[22:35] <heoa> imbezol: yes, takes some time to kill some tex -bugs (apparently in the paralellel I should also automate pressing enter while compiling latex documents...)
[22:36] <glebihan> laptop_, then you didn't run gnome-shell, there isn't a left bar on gnome-shell
[22:36] <redlegoreng> ok
[22:36] <kent>  trafficking my downloads throught the server...
[22:36] <heoa> imbezol: (or to fix the latex errs...  on time)
[22:36] <imbezol> heoa: you could add "yes" to your command
[22:36] <mun> bugaloo, llutz hi again. regarding sudo route add default wlan0 it seems that the original flags for default is UG ut the new flag for default is U. does it make much difference?
[22:36] <laptop_> My brother owns a company that sends people tickets for illegal downloads
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: I thouht the default was this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4hgJe6HCdAY/TnyV4cq_SgI/AAAAAAAACik/w3kJJy5kCZc/s1600/gnome_shell_ubuntu_oneric.png  whih has a bar
[22:37] <Titomen> I open this uestion to anybody here who can help me, since i am new...i ask a question, and not politelyand with warnings that i should leave, very kindly ActionParship Advise me to go to the  #ubuntu-offtopic, which i did, once i place the question there, pangolin one more time in not a very helpfull way place this comment: "this channel is not a replacement for when you don't get an answer
[22:37] <Titomen> in #ubuntu  but yeah, it's not good to come here for support"...So this is my question FOR UBUNTU.....i have an ubuntu sytem on software raid with a computer that is having some problems...i have to create an image so i can restored to a new computer....can somebody help me on this....
[22:37] <heoa> imbezol: yes well now I freezed it :P
[22:37] <imbezol> heoa: :) have fun with that
[22:37] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, well that's the overview, this isn't visible on the desktop until you actually open it
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> Titomen: you can use partimage or dd to make an image of the partition
[22:38] <heoa> imbezol: I did  do ./$FILE | yes & <-- getting nice amounts of yes :P
[22:38] <Nfisher> Hi all ive a little probleme here. i jsut added a new user and now i logged in as it... now when i type "who" it doesnt list the loged in new user.. whats wrong here?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: I guess but the bar is still there ;)
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> Nfisher: try:  who -a
[22:38] <Titomen> ActionParsnip:..well that was my intention to the original question...but since the sistem is on a Software raid..can that be possible?
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> Titomen: not sure, I dont use software raid
[22:39] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, right :)
[22:39] <imbezol> Titomen: there are lots of options depending on the problem
[22:39] <laptop_> If you use limewire you're going to get a ticket
[22:39] <imbezol> Titomen: what's going on with the system?
[22:39] <Nfisher> ActionParsnip, no, neither working
[22:40] <Titomen> ActionParsnip: imbezol: My concer is that if you image the complete system i believe the raid wont be able to be copy
[22:41] <imbezol> Titomen: what's the problem with the system?
[22:41] <Titomen> I was trying to see if anybody uses software raid and has being able to do that
[22:41] <hydrox24> Here is my gnome-shell desktop: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6833827/Screenshot%20at%202012-01-19%2009%3A36%3A09.png
[22:42] <Titomen> imbezol: i have 9.10  would like to upgrade and there is no more support..so i guess i need to do i clean instal..but before that i would like to do an image so if something goes worng, i can go back to my previous state
[22:42] <hydrox24> Titomen: Clonezilla?
[22:43] <imbezol> Titomen: ah.. well the experienced user might do something like toss another harddrive in, add it as a raid 1 mirror, break it off and keep it as a gold copy... or boot off a rescue disk, mount the existing partitions read only and dd image to another drive.. lots of options
[22:44] <imbezol> Titomen: if you're not that experienced with software raid, then yeah, something like partimage is probably your best bet. it understands linux software raid just fine
[22:44] <shadaloo> hello
[22:44] <shadaloo> anyone recommend a tool to convert .avi to a burnable DVD format
[22:44] <ahammond> I want to install upstart 1.4 on ubuntu 10.10. Haven't seen a PPA. What's the best course of action?
[22:45] <imbezol> Titomen: you can even just tar up your whole filesystem and save the tar.. if you need to restore you'd just create whatever type partitions you want, extract, fix your fstab if needed, and reinstall your bootloader
[22:45] <ahammond> s/install/upgrade to/
[22:45] <mun> does anyone know how to find my gateway address?
[22:45] <ahammond> mun: have you looked in /etc/network/config?
[22:45] <owenll> shadaloo: DeVeDe
[22:45] <mun> ahammond, i haven't got the config file
[22:45] <Titomen> imbezol: i am not so experienze...but trying to avoid hre previous type of answer when i came here i read a lot and suposely because of the raid issues there migth be problems..that why i was trying to get some advise?
[22:46] <ahammond> mun: erŌĆ” sorry, that would be /etc/network/interfaces
[22:46] <cypher-neo> shadaloo, videotrans is good, but I'm not sure it accepts AVI.
[22:46] <mun> ahammond, ah right. well there's no address in it. just auto lo and iface lo inet loopback
[22:46] <imbezol> Titomen: raid gives you more options if anything
[22:46] <imbezol> Titomen: don't be scared of it
[22:46] <ahammond> mun: oh, dhcp? try netstat -nr | grep 0.0.0.0
[22:46] <shadaloo> cypher-neo: is it command line
[22:46] <cypher-neo> shadaloo, Yes, it is.
[22:46] <imbezol> Titomen: if you really don't want to mess around with losing it.. your best option is to remove the harddrives and install on different ones
[22:47] <mun> ahammond, yep got something. which row should I look at? the one with UG?
[22:47] <Jerub> what's the easiest way to install a 3.1+ kernel on ubuntu? I want to use a later version of btrfs.
[22:47] <imbezol> Titomen: or at least back up your /home directory before trying to upgrade
[22:47] <hydrox24> I would just use tar to backup?
[22:47] <mun> ahammond, basically i'm asking because i'm trying to change the default route from usb0 to wlan0. using sudo route del default && sudo route add default wlan0 doesn't give the new default the UG flag.
[22:47] <ahammond> mun: the 0.0.0.0 desitination row is the default. look for the gateway in that row.
[22:47] <mun> ahammond, so i wonder if i'll need sudo route add default gw <gateway> wlan0?
[22:48] <ahammond> mun: default routes are at the IP layer, not the interface layer.
[22:48] <cypher-neo> shadaloo, There's also dvdauthor
[22:48] <Titomen> imbezol: well i gues i can do a backup of the home data also..tehn try part image and if something goes wrong...the worst is to do the iinstallation and configuration.....is clonezilla to differetn form partimage?
[22:48] <Nfisher> Hi all! is there a possibility to view the stream of a remote box's webcam on the local machine?
[22:48] <Jerub> mun: /sbin/ip route replace default via $gateway_ip dev wlan0
[22:48] <ahammond> mun: you want to be editing that /etc/network/interfaces file. The man page is pretty good for that one.
[22:49] <shadaloo> cypher-neo: thanks
[22:49] <imbezol> Titomen: never used clonezilla
[22:49] <ahammond> Jerub: seriously? coolness has happened recently. :)
[22:49] <imbezol> Titomen: i've used partimage lots though and it's been solid for me
[22:49] <mun> basically i have 3 rows when I run netstat -nr | grep 0.0.0.0
[22:49] <ahammond> any suggestions about getting upstart 1.4?
[22:49] <Titomen> imbezol: i try to upgrade, but because i have 9.10..it wont let me do that, that is why ithougth about protection first and then try to do clean isntall
[22:49] <Nfisher> ..since i dont want to x-forward cheese which is pretty unhandy
[22:49] <Nfisher> and doenst work well
[22:50] <Aelingil> Can anyone show me / link to me a walkthrough How to recover a folder that was deleted during a restore? I've tried finding the old files, and they are no where on the system.
[22:50] <mun> only one row has the UG flag -- so that's the one with the gateway ip?
[22:50] <imbezol> Titomen: if you download a 10.04 disk and stick it in, it won't let you upgrade?
[22:50] <Jerub> ahammond, mun: what i really meant was, don't use 'route', use the iproute2/'ip' tool, because it will work better.
[22:50] <imbezol> Titomen: then you could see if you'll be able to do a "do-release-upgrade"
[22:50] <Jerub> mun: 'U' means up, 'G' means gateway.
[22:50] <milamber> !recover | Aelingil
[22:51] <Jerub> mun: I would be more interested in the output of 'ip route'
[22:51] <mun> Jerub, ok. i get: default via 192.168.42.129 dev usb0  proto static
[22:52] <mun> Jerub, but i'm trying to change it to wlan0
[22:52] <Jerub> mun: ip route replace default via 192.168.42.129 dev wlan0
[22:52] <Titomen> imbezol: well i am getting a lot of permissions denied and not fetching error, somebody told me i have to do an upgrade..but i do not want to loose andy of my configurations untill i can do that and have the time to repair i something goes wrong
[22:52] <mun> Jerub, i get "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted"
[22:52] <Jerub> mun: is wlan0 up?
[22:52] <Jerub> you might need to do it as root, of course :)
[22:53] <mun> Jerub, yeah it's up
[22:53] <mun> Jerub, with sudo I get "RTNETLINK answers: No such process"
[22:53] <sn00p> When is the next ubuntus release because unity sucks
[22:53] <imbezol> Titomen: ah.. well i'd be surprised if the CD upgrade way needed to fetch anything
[22:53] <meerkats> i need a command to scan via terminal, maximum size per scanned page: 1Mb
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> sn00p: april this year, it is LTS and has Unity
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> sn00p: try installing XFCE and use that, you don't HAVE TO use Unity
[22:54] <imbezol> Titomen: i could be wrong though.. :)
[22:54] <Jerub> mun: that's very strange. please pastebin the output of 'ip route show table all' and 'ip link' and 'ip addr'
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> sn00p: the package you want for minimal xfce is xfce4
[22:55] <mun> Jerub, sure.
[22:55] <JakeH> Hello, I am a newby at Ubuntu, just started a couple of weeks ago ... I am getting used to the command line but there is still something I don't understand properly: in most guides/manuals/documentation online the instructions about command line actions are always given without "sudo", but when I execute them I usually always get "Permission denied", which I understand, as I need super user priveliges to execute certain actions, but no
[22:55] <meerkats> what will for i in `seq 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 2; done;
[22:55] <meerkats>  do?
[22:55] <sn00p> Unity is great but it does weird things like  close my terminals and other stuff
[22:55] <mun> Jerub, here you go: http://pastebin.com/gsFA07vL
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: is your user in the admin group?
[22:55] <JakeH> not mention "sudo", while on command line, it is required? I was under the impression logging in as a super user is a bad idea and you should (almost) always opt for sudo as it is safer. Could someone explain this to me?
[22:56] <zorklat> Grub hanged on boot; unknown file system.
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: scan 800 images afaik, with the filename having the number, with a 2 second pause between
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: once the OS is setup, you will need it very rarely
[22:57] <Wargasm> sn00p: like ActionParsnip said, you're not stuck to Unity... there are many other environments to choose from... I like LXDE myself
[22:57] <meerkats> "for i in `seq 1 80`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 4; done;" where should I specify the output format? png, jpg
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> Wargasm: lxde +1
[22:57] <meerkats> a sorry
[22:57] <meerkats> re read it
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: ;)
[22:57] <JakeH> hmm, I got disconnected, did anyone answer my question yet?
[22:57] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, how do I limit the size to 1 MB maximum?
[22:58] <ratcheer> I am giving gnome-shell a long tryout.
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: not sure
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: yes, I replied
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: once you setup the OS, sudo is used very rarely
[22:58] <cypher-neo> ratcheer, Need any help with gnome-shell?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: is your user in the admin group?
[22:58] <Jerub> mun: okay, so you're on a different /24 on the wlan and the usb devices.
[22:59] <sn00p> ActionParsnip, how do I switch environments ? and which ones are there
[22:59] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, I am guessing it is not, I am using a fresh install and didn't really do anything to my user after that ...
[22:59] <zorklat> where can I go for help with grub>?  I'm getting "hd0: out of disk" and "unknown file system" instead.
[22:59] <mun> Jerub, ah right. so is there anything i should do differently?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> sn00p: log off and you choose it at login screen using cog
[22:59] <Jerub> mun: and you've got a dud route on the wlan0 device without a gateway, remove that first.
[22:59] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, as I said, I am still a nooby so I must be missing that, and that's probably why I'm sudo' ing all the time
[22:59] <Jerub> ip route delete default
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: if you run:  groups     what is output?
[22:59] <Jerub> mun: you need to find the ip of the gateway on the wireless network, and use that.
[22:59] <Jerub> ip route add default via $correct_ip dev wlan0
[23:00] <psusi> zorklat, sounds like your drive is borked... can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -lu?
[23:00] <mun> Jerub, where $correct_ip is 192.168.42.129?
[23:00] <ratcheer> cypher-neo: No thanks. Everyone was just talking about what DE's they are using.
[23:00] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, well, it says I am part of it ...
[23:00] <bencc> what file should I edit to add something to a user's PATH?
[23:00] <Jerub> mun: unknown, that's your network, but that's in the right range.
[23:00] <Jerub> er, not the right range.
[23:00] <cypher-neo> ratcheer, Ah! I use GNOME-Shell as well. :)
[23:01] <Jerub> it's got to be 192.168.1.XX
[23:01] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, my name and then: adm, dialout, cdrom, plugdev, lpadmin, admin, sambashare ...
[23:01] <mun> Jerub, hmm how do I find out the right gateway ip?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: then sudo will work, type your password (you will get no feedback) and hit ENTER and you can run admin tasks and get all the access you need
[23:01] <psusi> bencc, their ~/.profile
[23:01] <Jerub> anyway, someone got a hint on where i can apt-get a 3.1 or 3.2 kernel from?
[23:01] <Jerub> mun: dhcp is a popular way :)
[23:01] <Jerub> which should autoconfigure everyting :)
[23:02] <bencc> psusi:  thanks
[23:02] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, I can do everything, it's just that I have to do "sudo" in front of (almost) every command I do ... while in online guides etc you never see sudo in the command ...
[23:03] <mun> Jerub, ok i'd better install it
[23:03] <zorklat> what's the preferred pastebin?
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: some commands don't need it, you only need sudo to change tings outside of your home folder, like updates and so on
[23:03] <cypher-neo> zorklat, Any pastebin that doesn't multiline it in chat.
[23:03] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, for example, when I want to edit a file I'd have to do sudo nano ... instead of just nano, when I want to install a package with apt-get I' ll have to do sudo, removing, renaming, moving, all that requires sudo. Is that how it's supposed to be?
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: any, one isn't preferred over aother
[23:04] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, ah, that's probably why then, I've been mostly working in a folder I created in my root for development (switched to linux for development purposes)
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: if you are using nano to edit outside of home then yes, you will need sudo
[23:04] <Wargasm> JakeH: I think I sudo everything also lol
[23:04] <zorklat> ok, fdisk lu at http://pastebin.com/bxcniRpJ
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: if you run:  sudo -i     you will get an (i)nteractive sudo and not have to type it until you type:  exit
[23:05] <psusi> zorklat, holy crap, why so many partitions? ;)
[23:05] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, so for that terminal session I am root so to say?
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: effectively, yes
[23:05] <zorklat> 4 distros w/ /boot, /, and /home and one for wine, and one for all my files.
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: but its slightly easier to break your OS
[23:06] <alien2050> ne1 knows if (and where) I can configure my X session to start on a specific display ie CTRL-ALT-F3 for example ?
[23:06] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, thanks a bunch for clearing that up for me ... I was thinking I was doing something wrong for a moment. And yeah, I read about super user and why you should avoid being a permanent super user (breaking OS indeed)
[23:07] <alien2050> instead of ctrl-alt-f7 which is default...
[23:07] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, one more thing though, is it normal that apt-get/cache etc require sudo too?
[23:07] <psusi> zorklat, goodness!  why not share one /home?  or use LVM to manage that second disk as well?  anyhow, which one is the boot drive?  also let's get some more info... download and run this script and pastebin the results plz: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[23:07] <mun> Jerub, thanks a lot for the help
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> JakeH: yes as the command updates the files for your apps, which are outside your home
[23:08] <zorklat> sdb is boot drive.
[23:08] <CharminTheMoose> Why does upstart have .conf files for mounting sys and proc, when the initrd does it already?
[23:08] <CharminTheMoose> running 11.04 here
[23:08] <Titomen> imbezol: but you agree that will be good to have an image of it before doing that?
[23:08] <JakeH> ActionParsnip, aha ok, yeah figured as much, just wanted to check! Thanks :-) I will be off doing some more nooby nerdy stuff now :P
[23:09] <sn00p> ActionParsnip, if I chose something else than unity will gnome still be the main one?
[23:09] <charly_> hi all
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> sn00p: if you log into XFCE, XFCE will be the 'main one' but your gnome apps will be runnable
[23:09] <dannelSOPA> halo
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> sn00p: xfce is made using gtk too....
[23:10] <charly_> first time using xchat
[23:10] <dannelSOPA> charly_, congrats
[23:10] <hydrox24> charly_: congratz!
[23:10] <charly_> tnx!!! XD
[23:10] <hydrox24> dannelSOPA: jynx
[23:11] <dannelSOPA> :b
[23:11] <charly_> what for it?
[23:11] <hydrox24> charly_: so what ta here for?
[23:11] <charly_> what does it mean - ta?
[23:11] <hydrox24> charly_: typo
[23:11] <hydrox24> I meant "ya"
[23:12] <hydrox24> as in "you"
[23:12] <zorklat> psusi, here you go:  http://pastebin.com/1qjfuQyA
[23:13] <hydrox24> well, I gotta go, cya all!
[23:15] <charly_> where are you came frome?
[23:15] <mun> Jerub, although i can change it with your command, it reverts back to usb0 after a bit for some reason.
[23:16] <psusi> zorklat, it looks like you installed grub using blocklists... you sholdn't do that... you might want to reinstall grub
[23:16] <zorklat> psusi, ok, how would I do that from the live disk?
[23:17] <psusi> zorklat, which install do you want to own grub?
[23:18] <zorklat> psusi, ubuntu.  is this thread on the right track?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[23:20] <psusi> zorklat, that's a very large and old thread, but if it tells you to mount your root fs ( of whichever OS you want to own grub ), chroot into it, and run grub-install, then that's what you need to do ;)
[23:20] <psusi> zorklat, run grub-install /dev/sdb that is
[23:21]  * zorklat goes off to learn about chroot.
[23:22] <psusi> zorklat, also if your ubuntu install is in an lvm volume, you'll need to install the lvm2 packge on the livecd to recognize it
[23:22] <zorklat> psusi, nope, no lvm
[23:22] <mvdk> What's the process for submitting a new package?  I have packaged JBIG-KIT in a PPA, and wish to submit it
[23:22] <psusi> zorklat, hrm... which partition is your ubuntu install that you want to be the main os?
[23:23] <zorklat> psusi, sdb3.
[23:24] <psusi> zorklat, hrm... beause the grub currently installed is looking for a volume with a uuid not found there, so I assume it is an lvm volume that isn't being recognized
[23:25] <mvdk> psusi, grub2 knows how to read LVM - grub does not
[23:25] <zorklat> grrr.  it may be hunting on sda, which ought not be boot flagged at all!
[23:25] <psusi> zorklat, anyhow, mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt, mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys, mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc, chroot /mnt, then grub-install /dev/sdb should do it
[23:25] <benyuss> hello guys. anybody can help for me? i have issues with my ati radeon 200m card driver.
[23:26] <psusi> mvdk, right
[23:26] <Titomen> imbezol: i just try partimage on systemrescucd, this is what i see i see the sda1 sdb1 sdc1 sda2 sdb2 sdc2 sda5 sdb5 sdc5 sda6 sdb6 sdc6 sda7 sdb7 sdc7 and then i see the md124 md125 md126 md127..which interestly the last one should correspord to the assemby raids md0 md1 md2 md3...Why it has that diefretn configuration and is this something that on retore should be change?
[23:26] <psusi> zorklat, the boot flag only means anything to the dos/windows boot loader
[23:26] <mvdk> benyuss, have you installed the proprietary driver, or the open source one?  And what is the nature of your problem
[23:27] <mvdk> Titomen, the numbers on the mds mean almost nothing on a different installation
[23:28] <mvdk> Titomen, they are assigned by udev
[23:28] <Captain_Crow> hello
[23:28] <benyuss> mvdk: yes i was installed proprietary driver but its looks like doesn't works because when i tried to run ati catalyst center it says i haven't any ati driver so i must to configure with aticonfig or install a driver.. but i was installed it with the catalyst center.
[23:28] <Titomen> mvdk: so when i do a restore of the software raid i can keep the new name md124 or should i change it to what it was md0
[23:28] <Autoeth> hoping someone in here can explain when i issue command ip tunnel add (name of my choice ) i get a new interface but on top of that i also get an automatic interface sit0 why is linux doing this .
[23:29] <zorklat> let this be a lesson to y'all, btw:  do NOT hibernate from LDM with an account logged in!
[23:29] <Captain_Crow> how do i add more sides to the cube in 11.10?
[23:29] <mvdk> Titomen, whatever you put udev will be what you get
[23:29] <mvdk> benyuss, what hardware was it again?
[23:29] <psusi> zorklat, huh?
[23:30] <mvdk> benyuss, What does lspci call it?
[23:30] <benyuss> mvdk: ati radeon 200m
[23:30] <zorklat> psusi, that's when the problems started.
[23:30] <zorklat> psusi, also:  http://pastebin.com/qVhgiajQ
[23:30] <psusi> zorklat, this didn't happen after installing a new os?  that's weird
[23:30] <mvdk> Autoeth, suggest you look at the Documentation directory in the Linux sources.
[23:30] <imbezol> Titomen: it doesn't matter what they show up as in partimage.. they will still be whatever they were originally after restoration
[23:31] <zorklat> psusi, I wound up blanking the entire disk and repartitioning it with cfdisk from the issues arising from trying that.
[23:31] <Titomen> so when i do a complete system backup i should copy eveything, now if i just want ot image the date which is md3 or md127, do i also have to copy sda7 sdb7 sdc7?
[23:31] <psusi> zorklat, ohh, crap... your sdb1 partition starts on sector 30... that's goofy... it should start at least at sector 63, if not 2048
[23:31] <Titomen> sorry the data
[23:32] <oldIT781> Anyone have a minute to help with a Ubuntu 11.04 ati graphics card question?
[23:32] <mvdk> benyuss, does the open driver not work?
[23:32] <psusi> zorklat, maybe you can use gparted to move the start of that partition over a hair?
[23:32] <zorklat> psusi, ok.  well, I'll go and fix that.  there's nothing I'm afraid to lose on sda1, as everything is also on sda.
[23:33] <mvdk> benyuss, see "http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_Radeon_Xpress_200M"
[23:33] <zorklat> er, nothing I'm afraid lose on sdb1
[23:33] <mvdk> benyuss, the proprietary driver has not supported your chip for some time now
[23:34] <occupant> So I have some VMs that are going to be fucked-upon-reboot because /boot ran out of space upon a kernel upgrade. If I clear space on /boot and try to reinstall the latest kernel fresh, would I just want the linux-image package or more stuff?
[23:34] <mvdk> benyuss, that driver is by AMD/ATI, and nothing can really be done about it
[23:34] <benyuss> mvdk: i dont know.. i know only 2 things.. : when i enter to the hardware drivers menu it's full empty.. 2: i must to upgrade my driver because sometimes my screen is frozen, at youtube the videos is lagging on 1080p and i cant play with my favourite game.. on windows i haven't these problems:/
[23:35] <PureRumble> Hi all! Running 11.10! I want to have multiple login sessions for the same user, is it possible?
[23:35] <psusi> occupant, good reason not to use a separate /boot partition... yes, reinstalling the linux-image-xxx package should do it
[23:35] <mvdk> benyuss, you could try the latest open source drivers
[23:35] <oldIT781> If I am using the propritary Ati/nvidia drivers with a ati 5750 card does that mean it will still read a xorg.conf file?
[23:35] <mvdk> There is a PPA for them
[23:36] <benyuss> mvdk: where i can find them?
[23:36] <benyuss> mvdk: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_Radeon_Xpress_200M it will be doesn't work?
[23:36] <mvdk> benyuss, your googlefu is waning.  I'll google it, but some of what we do is trying to teach you how to catch fish...
[23:37] <mvdk> benyuss, The latest *proprietary* drivers do not work
[23:37]  * oldIT781 looks for a que to stand in. 
[23:38] <benyuss> mvdk: ok i see. im looking for an open source driver. pls wait
[23:38] <zorklat> psusi, a few megs should do the trick?
[23:38] <mvdk> benyuss, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only
[23:38] <Myrtti> oldIT781: it will read it if such exists - but it doesn't necessarily do
[23:38] <psusi> zorklat, just one will do... grub needs like 55 sectors or so
[23:39] <Jerub> mun: sounds like you're running NetworkManager or something
[23:39] <mvdk> oldIT781, you're looking for an xorg.conf?  Recent ubuntus don't make one
[23:39] <benyuss> mvdk: which version i need?
[23:39] <oldIT781> Myrtti: Thanks! I just switched from a nvidia card to an ATI card. I used to add a line that inverted my screen.
[23:40] <occupant> ati proprietary would still use xorg.conf
[23:40] <mvdk> benyuss, Sorry, put the wrong thing there, just looked at the dates
[23:40] <oldIT781> mvdk: I just want to have my screen inverted. I can create one using a template from the nvidia xorg.conf i had. I just want to know if its going to break anything.
[23:42] <oldIT781> So for example ... the proprietary ati drivers allow me to invert my screen. but in games it still is not inverted.
[23:42] <zima> o/
[23:42] <oldIT781> adding a line to the xorg.conf file seemed to invert the OS at a deeper level. ... am I correct or way out of line?
[23:42] <zima> ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor; any ideas guys?
[23:43] <zima> or is this unfixed and never-going-to-be-fixed-bug?
[23:43] <psusi> zima, what kind of cpu is this?
[23:43] <mvdk> benyuss, this looks like the place: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[23:43] <zima> celeron M 1.5 (p4 based)
[23:44] <psusi> zima, doesn't support cpufreq
[23:44] <zima> there is a driver and cpufreq-info says: cpufreq stats: 188 MHz:0,00%, 375 MHz:0,00%, 563 MHz:0,00%, 750 MHz:0,00%, 938 MHz:0,00%, 1.13 GHz:0,00%, 1.31 GHz:0,00%, 1.50 GHz:100,00%
[23:44] <mvdk> benyuss, I have used this before, the notice at the top about it setting stuff on fire isn't quite right, but it isn't guaranteed to work, either ;-)
[23:44] <zima> psusi: Ōåæ
[23:44] <psusi> zima, what's the driver?
[23:45] <psusi> zima, is it p4-clockmod?
[23:45] <zima> p4_clockmod
[23:45] <psusi> zima, it's bogus... the cpu doesn't support cpu frequency scaling
[23:45] <html> how  do i add a account?
[23:45] <zima> psusi: i see
[23:45] <mvdk> What's the process for submitting a new package?  I have packaged JBIG-KIT in a PPA, and wish to submit it.
[23:45] <zima> i'm fscked then
[23:45] <oldIT781> does anyone know if the xorg.conf line "RandRRotation" will work with the proprietary ATI driver?
[23:45] <psusi> zima, why do you say that?
[23:46] <benyuss> mvdk: if i will install it my video performance will be as on windows? so i will can run 1080p videos without lag?
[23:46] <mvdk> oldIT781: Why not try it?
[23:46] <zima> psusi: i've read that it's a kernel bug and i even compiled 3.2.1 kernel on this machine, it took more than 2 hours
[23:46] <mvdk> benyuss: No one can say for sure - I don't use an X200M
[23:46] <zima> so it's impossible
[23:46] <zima> i should come here and ask in the first place
[23:47] <benyuss> mvdk: ok thank you so much. you helped a lot !:)
[23:47] <jurua> hi
[23:47] <zima> psusi: kthx
[23:47] <jurua> you
[23:47] <psusi> zima, nope, not a bug... that driver doesn't actually scale the cpu frequency, it just stalls the cpu part of the time... so they intentionally made the scaling governor refuse to use it
[23:47] <oldIT781> mvdk: because im scared my display wont work.
[23:47] <mvdk> benyuss: No probs
[23:47] <mvdk> oldIT781: And it will enter low-res mode
[23:47] <mvdk> oldIT781: Where the problem?
[23:48] <jurua> you
[23:48] <html> how  do i add a account?
[23:48] <oldIT781> mvdk: so your saying even if it doesnt work, i can still get into low graphic mode. correct?
[23:48] <mvdk> oldIT781: Yep
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> html: account for what?
[23:48] <jurua> apt-get install
[23:48] <DIL> adduser
[23:48] <mvdk> oldIT781: And if X doesn't start, Ctrl-Alt-F1 gets you a text terminal
[23:49] <catno7> does ubuntu 11.10 have compiz? my windows blink when I move them and lag
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> catno7: yes it does
[23:49]  * oldIT781 bows to mvdk. thanks ill give it a try. 
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> catno7: I assume you mean gnome based Ubuntu...
[23:49] <zima> psusi: actually, scaling is possible but only ondemand governor fails
[23:51] <psusi> zima, nope, it's not... the p4-clockmod driver is a farse.. it doesn't actually change the cpu frequency, just forces it to halt for part of the time, so it feels slower, but does't save any power, in fact, it uses more
[23:51] <oldIT781> mvdk: Since i will be creating a xorg.conf ... do i need to do anything special while creating it? or could i just use gedit and make sure it gets in the right directory?
[23:51] <zima> psusi: i'll prove you that it's possible in a moment
[23:52] <mvdk> oldIT781: gedit is your friend, but it needs to be written as a privileged user
[23:52] <zima> unless /prc/cpuinfo lies
[23:52] <html> ActionParsnip,  just for ubuntu  , my gf wants to get on but i dont want to give admin rights , just a web based account
[23:52] <mvdk> oldIT781: Remember, nano or vi are text editors if you have an issue later and you're in text mode
[23:52] <oldIT781> mvdk: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf      would that work?
[23:52] <mvdk> oldIT781: Yes
[23:53] <oldIT781> great thanks.
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> html: sudo adduser name      change name for her name, she will not be in the admin group by default
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> oldIT781: gksudo for gedit, not sudo
[23:53] <mvdk> ActionParsnip: sudo works just fine for it
[23:53] <oldIT781> ActionParsnip: whats the difference?
[23:53] <mvdk> ActionParsnip: Instead of getting a dialogue, you get a text prompt for password
[23:54] <psusi> zima, see kernel commit e088e4c9cd, they intentionally prevented it from being used any more and it is scheduled to be removed
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> oldIT781:  mvdk: it doesn't setup the environment correctly, you can damage the ownership of ~/.ICEauthority
[23:54] <diverdude> if i have a symb link and i do rm symblinkname...its only the link thats removed and not what it points to right?
[23:54] <zima> psusi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/809191/
[23:54] <html> Enter new UNIX password...... whats this ?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> html: set the password for the account...
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> html: isn't that clear?
[23:55] <zima> psusi: you mean what will be removed? p4_clockmod?
[23:55] <psusi> zima, yes.. the reduced frequency is a lie
[23:55] <html> ActionParsnip,  ive never done this or seen this before
[23:55] <Titomen> imbezol: so to do a complete image of the system...i have to copy all of them into an external drive
[23:56] <zima> psusi: show the link please
[23:56] <psusi> zima, here's the full commit msg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/809193/

[23:56] <html> ActionParsnip,  i always do it with a gui

[23:56] <zima> psusi: ok, fair enough
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> html: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/112187
[23:57] <zima> psusi: but what's the link to the original post?
[23:58] <psusi> zima, huh?
[23:58] <zima> ah, nvm
[23:58] <mvdk> ActionParsnip: I didn't know that, thanks :)
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> mvdk: np, the kde equiv is kdesu
[23:58] <psusi> zima, I pulled it out of my local git repo, but you can look it up on git.kernel.org I suppose
[23:59]  * psusi LOVES git
[23:59] <mvdk> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I don't use kde - it usually sucks balls :)
[23:59] <html> ActionParsnip,  thanks alot!!!
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> mvdk: I find it better than the current gnome setup
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> html: np :)
[23:59] <mvdk> ActionParsnip: And it seems to have some obsession with JACK
[23:59] <zima> psusi: kthx
[23:59] <mvdk> ActionParsnip: And so no sound stuff ever works right
