[00:00] <ActionParsnip> jorge: if you also run:   alsamixer    are all levels cranked and unmuted
[00:00] <DarkStar11> ActionParsnip: thx
[00:00] <jorge> ActionParsnip: Yep I already checked that, and it's all fine
[00:01] <niksoft> urlin2u, any ideas as to avenues to pursue?
[00:02] <urlin2u> niksoft, I wouldn't even know to be honest.
[00:02] <resus> that didn't help me
[00:02] <resus> i don't know where to install grub
[00:02] <niksoft> sigh, i'll kick around some channels in a bit then, see if i can catch some server or kernel guys
[00:03] <Jordan_U> resus: Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[00:03] <urlin2u> resus, in the mbr generally, can you run this script and pastebin the results.txt.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[00:04] <urlin2u> resus,  check the link Jordan_U gave first though that may do it
[00:05] <resus> http://pastebin.com/B4kvu8NC
[00:06] <resus> so this is what the system is supposed to look like
[00:06] <resus> this boots
[00:06] <resus> can you tell me where exactly is grub supposed to be installed from this output?
[00:07] <resus> there is /boot on /dev/sda2
[00:07] <resus> and /boot/efi on /dev/sda1
[00:09] <urlin2u> resus, pesonally I'm not familiar with efi, or lvm sorry
[00:09] <resus> it clearly says no bootloader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda
[00:23] <Kezryk> Can someone tell me why i can't login on Kubuntu disto 11.10
[00:25] <Kezryk> omg this sucks
[00:26] <urlin2u> Kezryk, you need to give some details.
[00:26] <reflian> fuck
[00:27] <daemon> hey I run a throw off from ubuntu (backtrack linux 5 rc1, which is really Ubuntu Lucid LTS.
[00:27] <pangolin> !language | reflian
[00:27] <daemon> is there anyway to install anything like FreeBSD's ALTQ/PF
[00:27] <aBound> Hey does anybody know how I can check which printers are supported for Ubuntu?
[00:27] <Kezryk> I am installing Kubuntu for the first time i set all passwords on installation but it wont let me log in
[00:27] <daemon> for limiting throughput through links and sharing bandwidth fairly
[00:28] <urlin2u> daemon, this is ubuntu support.
[00:28] <daemon> urlin2u, indeed
[00:29] <urlin2u> !backtrack > daemon
[00:29] <daemon> ah ty
[00:31] <acerimmer> !backtrack|daemon
[00:31] <OerHeks> aBound, check openprinting.org
[00:32] <Kezryk> ??
[00:32] <aBound> OerHeks, I don't know if you know this but I have a wifi printer do you know if I would have to connect remotely or just by connecting the laptop to the printer and it'll work.
[00:33] <almoxarife> Kezryk: ask the question in #kubuntu
[00:34] <OerHeks> aBound, i don't know either with no info of what printer
[00:35] <aBound> OerHeks, It's a lexmark but a wireless lexmark I was just curious as in. If it needed to be connected remotely for the wireless printer to work.  I'll figure it out I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers
[00:36] <OerHeks> aBound, lexmark produces more than one model.. be more specific plz.
[00:36] <aBound> OerHeks, I'll have to go check the name of it real quick.
[00:37] <aBound> Been to lazy to try to see if the driver is in the kernel.
[00:38] <aBound> OerHeks, Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901.
[00:38] <TheHumanScience> im a newbie to xchat. how can i find out how to install the latest version of firefox?
[00:38] <aBound> TheHumanScience, Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:39] <angela-> hij all an enyone tell me why i dont have access to ngircd.conf its sets that i dont have anove prioritie
[00:39] <scarleo> TheHumanScience, http://www.mozilla.org/
[00:40] <angela-> meens olso that i bin removete of the sudo list
[00:40] <TheHumanScience> 10.04
[00:41] <TheHumanScience> Lucid
[00:41] <aBound> scarleo, That gives him the source he'll have to compile it that way.
[00:41] <aBound> TheHumanScience, I notice 9.0.1. is known to crash but you'll have to add a PPA to update firefox.
[00:42] <aBound> TheHumanScience, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:42] <aBound> TheHumanScience, Make sure the semicolon isn't in the command.
[00:42] <jaysen> Does anyone know why the new gnome 3 Documents Application (mentioned in http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.2/) is not in ubuntu 11.10 running gnome 3.2.1?
[00:43] <TheHumanScience> I added the ppa
[00:45] <aBound> TheHumanScience, You have to execute the other two commands in the terminal. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:46] <aBound> TheHumanScience, Make sure firefox is closed and if it doesn't upgrade firefox use the command: sudo apt-get install firefox

[00:55] <PhireB0mb3r> What is the web app for the help.ubuntu.com site?
[00:55] <CT1> Hi all.  Is there a package (or a feature in audacity) that plays a certain tone... changeable (subtly) via a GUI slider?  I'm interested in finding out the frequency of the (yes, I may be "mental") constant buzz/hum I hear.  It's essential in deciding if I should be "committed" or if the tone is related to UK AC frequency and its harmonics.
[00:56] <genesisbot> Hello everyone
[00:56] <genesisbot> lol CTI
[00:56] <genesisbot> CT1*
[00:57] <blackbox> Anybody know of software that allows you to use your GPS on your computer instead of just in your car.... I.e best software to locate stuff ...etc
[00:58] <blackbox> I am on a linux distro like ubuntu , kubuntu , or wattos
[01:00] <Rayston> you can pirate the official garmin software and run it through VirtualBox
[01:00] <Rayston> kinda a pain
[01:00] <alien2050> CT1: have a look at ladspa, there's a lot of plugins available and one is a tone generator
[01:01] <CT1> genesisbot: Thankfully the humorous side of my question was duly noted.  The subtle hint of it being a real question was perhaps lost in it's "insanity"
[01:02] <genesisbot> CT1: not at all i just thought how you asked was funny
[01:02] <orlok> heh tone generators
[01:03] <TheHumanScience> thanks abound
[01:03] <urlin2u> 440=A
[01:03] <orlok> CT1: got a spectrum analyser?
[01:03] <orlok> CT1: on my phone, i have Audelicious
[01:04] <orlok> CT1: its for Maemo only though
[01:04] <orlok> CT1: i know Winamp used to be able to play tones as well
[01:05] <CT1> alien2050: audacity has a tone generator, but (I assume is the same case with ladspa) generates constant tones you choose.  I want a "slider" to pick. yes I have perfect pitch, but it's "relatively perfect" :p
[01:05] <hellfire> Hello, I am trying to do a fresh install of ubuntu. When I click to install I just get a black screen with a blinking line...I am new to this all, what do I do?
[01:06] <alien2050> CT1: you want to pick the frequency ? with a slider ? Check out puredata, it should be what you're looking for
[01:06] <urlin2u> !nomodeset > hellfire
[01:07] <genesisbot> CT1: the sound your hear is the tiny hairs in your ear vibrating or repairing them selfs
[01:08] <orlok> CT1: freshmeat has a few hits but none of them mention a slider
[01:08] <CT1> genesisbot: They must be doing very well at that.  Nose hairs too.  Still no closer to my goal.
[01:09] <genesisbot> CT1: do you have an iphone cause i have an app that allows you to slide a ringer it starts quite and end a very annoying loud ring
[01:10] <TheHumanScience>  i got firefox 9.0.1 installed on 10.04 Lucid, but those ugly arrows (the back and forward) on the browser still look generic. anybody know how to make them look they are supposed to?
[01:11] <hellfire> urlin2u I just tried nomodeset and the same thing happened.
[01:11] <tawm_afk> TheHumanScience: have you played around with the firefox plugins and skins?
[01:12] <CT1> genesisbot: Amplitude isn't what I'm after.  I want to slowly and audibly adjust frequency to find what that buzzing might be
[01:12] <urlin2u> hellfire, you might try the alternate cd install it is a text install
[01:12] <orlok> CT1: you could learn python :)
[01:12] <TheHumanScience> yes, but nothing
[01:12] <orlok> CT1: use a pygame slider or buttons to adjust.. something..
[01:12] <Zahrada> Say
[01:13] <Zahrada> is there any aiming date for wayland?
[01:13] <ohHaiImTawm> TheHumanScience: is there a reason you need to stay on 10.04?
[01:14] <funnyfingers> anyone know how to get sed to overwrite a file with the output redirect?  I get a blank file if the file exists but it works fine to a new file.
[01:14] <funnyfingers> ah I think I understand why:)
[01:14] <funnyfingers> lol
[01:14] <alien2050> Q: is there a way to "pin" a program to a specific spot on the desktop and ensure it never moves even if child programs try to create new windows, or if the program exits and starts again? something like wmctrl but that would ensure the window of a certain app is "frozen"... wondering
[01:14] <Tophage> I'm new to irc, where would one find help with ubuntu?
[01:14] <TheHumanScience> yea, it seems the most stable. don't like the interface of Natty, and Meekrat was buggy
[01:15] <hellfire> urlin2u: 7th time is a charm, I got it.
[01:16] <Zahrada> Don't mind me, I only asked a question :P
[01:16] <Zahrada> Actually, don't mind me. I had a few..
[01:16] <jason2007> quick question, how do i change asclock themes?
[01:16] <PhireB0mb3r> What is the help.ubuntu.com site CMS?
[01:17] <fancybone> Has anyone ever managed to install bip on Ubuntu 10.04?
[01:17] <Wargasm> Tophage this is the place, whats your question
[01:17] <ohHaiImTawm> TheHumanScience: http://askubuntu.com/questions/87279/why-doesnt-firefox-obey-my-icon-theme
[01:18] <ohHaiImTawm> may be the firefox application icon
[01:18] <ohHaiImTawm> but may give you some leads on where to go
[01:18] <fancybone> alternatively, I see that it's avialable as part of aptitude on 10.10, but I have no idea how to add it to my 10.04 distro
[01:19] <CT1> orlok:  GENIUS! I know substantial python and limited pygame. Off to uncover the bane of my existence, the endless, harrowing...[insert some other words I'd use if I still had M$ word's "synonyms" here]  No ready made remedy?  Python it shall be.  Farewell to you all.
[01:19] <orlok> CT1 : Wow.. i was actually joking!
[01:20] <orlok> CT1: I use it to control hardware..
[01:20] <orlok> CT1: You could start playing with arduino gear too
[01:20] <genesisbot> orlok CT1 is just being a big baby
[01:21] <Wargasm> !ask | Tophage
[01:21] <Wargasm> close enough
[01:21] <star-one> hi
[01:22] <CT1> orlok:  I'll do the arduino thing when I need to sync returning home with turning on the heating :p
[01:22] <orlok> CT1: just that it would let you have a physical, battery powered tone generator, with physical knobs/sliders to control it
[01:24] <fancybone> or, okay, let's settle for disabling the "warnings as errors" when running ./configure
[01:24] <fancybone> because --disable-Werror just says "configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-Werror
[01:25] <Tophage> I've had a program in the Get Software Center stuck at "applying changes" for about half an hour without it moving a bit and it has no 'x' button to cancel anymore. Any suggestions?
[01:28] <CT1> orlok: Not that I'm a stranger to soldering, but I'd prefer a software (preferably written by someone else) approach.  The humming/buzzing ceases not.
[01:28] <orlok> CT1: got a spectrum/frequency analyser?
[01:28] <orlok> CT1: i know my phone has one.. doesnt help you though :)
[01:29] <genesisbot> i said that already
[01:29] <Wargasm> Tophage I'm going to try to help you but I don't know how well it will work
[01:29] <tucemiux> anyone know of a lotus notes client for windows that is free?
[01:30] <Wargasm> Tophage I've never done it myself
[01:30] <tucemiux> war - youre the nuub that i've camped in UrT?
[01:30] <Wargasm> tucemiux ???
[01:30] <tucemiux> war if you dont know what im talking about they nevermind
[01:31] <bazhang> !ot | tucemiux
[01:31] <CT1> orlok: I have CoolEdit in my XP virtual machine. I assume audacity has similar (if not more features).  Hardware-wise? nothing!  I donated all my hardware when I left the country
[01:31] <tucemiux> THEN nevermind
[01:31] <tucemiux> bazhang, you know of a lotus notes client for windows that is free?
[01:31] <bazhang> tucemiux, ##windows for windows issues. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:31] <tucemiux> bazhang, you know of a lotus notes client for ubuntu that is free o.O
[01:32] <tucemiux> i meant to say ubuntu
[01:32] <Wargasm> lol
[01:33] <Wargasm> Tophage you still there?
[01:34] <tucemiux> ok well im headed to the zombie server, lata
[01:38] <Wargasm> well at least I learned how to use the command
[01:38] <ohHaiImTawm> I'm having issues with setting up slapd 2.4.25-1.1 the current openldap server package for 11.10. when I apt-get the package it doesn't drop a default .conf file in /etc/ldap/ and it doesn't write anything to /usr/local/ (sub)dirs. it does give me a man page
[01:43] <ChristianK201> Dear all, I'm new to ubuntu. I'm trying to install Anki from http://ankisrs.net/#linux . What do I do with the .tgz file once I downloaded the file?
[01:44] <Rukoroz> hi, im running a 64-bits live cd, and im getting alot of disk errors, i have already installed ubuntu, but i cannot even run it,
[01:44] <trism> ChristianK201: anki is in the repo, sudo apt-get install anki;
[01:44] <Rukoroz> aand, im trying to check and fix the HDD, but i can't, im stuck at gparted and i keep getting these disk messages on console....
[01:44] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: can you post the errors?
[01:44] <MadHaTTrr> How would I go about upgrading GRUB 1.98 to 1.99?
[01:45] <Rukoroz> umm
[01:45] <Rukoroz> how?
[01:45] <Rukoroz> lol
[01:45] <Rukoroz> is infinite...
[01:45] <MadHaTTrr> testdisk
[01:45] <Rukoroz> and always the same
[01:45] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: how?
[01:45] <MadHaTTrr> "sudo apt-get install testdisk"
[01:45] <Rukoroz> MadHaTTrr: wat?? -.-
[01:46] <ohHaiImTawm> at the command line type MadHaTTrr's command
[01:46] <MadHaTTrr> testdisk scans disc(s) for errors and fixes them (if possible)
[01:46] <Rukoroz> ok :)
[01:46] <Rukoroz> wait, but, how ican scan if gparted is stuck and i keep getting these messages in console??
[01:46] <ohHaiImTawm> it it spits back errors you don't understand you can copy/paste them in the channel or if there are tons drop em in pastebin http://pastebin.com/
[01:46] <Rukoroz> and umm,  smart says that i have 66 bad clusters
[01:47] <Rukoroz> yes
[01:47] <ohHaiImTawm> ctrl+c will stop the gparted command
[01:47] <MadHaTTrr> I'm running Backtrack 5 (Ubuntu 10.04) and it gets lost each time I boot from my 11.10 ext HDD
[01:47] <Rukoroz> ok, umm, im running gparted gui here
[01:47] <ohHaiImTawm> ah
[01:47] <tessarakt> hmpf
[01:47] <MadHaTTrr> I believe it's a GRUB discrepancy and I want to upgrade BT5's GRUB to 1.99
[01:47] <tessarakt> anyone knowledgable in mysql here?
[01:47] <zows> ah
[01:47] <Rukoroz> and i keeep getting these errors, how i can paste these here?
[01:47] <GRMrGecko> Let me ask the most asked question. Can you install Office 2010 on Ubuntu using wine? I read problems with the installer and read about workarounds such as copying the disk on windows than mounting it on linux.
[01:48] <MadHaTTrr> libreoffice
[01:48] <Rukoroz> no way to copy messages from console :((
[01:48] <Rukoroz> ideas?
[01:48] <tessarakt> sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 allows one to set a new root password
[01:48] <tessarakt> but MySQL does not accept the set password afterwards :-(
[01:48] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: you might be able to dig through /var/log/syslog
[01:48] <MadHaTTrr> no need for M$ Office when "sudo apt-get install libreoffice" does everything you need
[01:48] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: wait, is too much??
[01:48] <Rukoroz> hmm
[01:48] <lowkie> tessarakt, flush-priviledges
[01:48] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: The problem we have with LibreOffice is sending documents back to Microsoft Office.
[01:48] <ohHaiImTawm> sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[01:48] <Rukoroz> think i will run dmesg, is that great?
[01:49] <Rukoroz> ok
[01:49] <GRMrGecko> Also... It doesn't fit Accounting needs.
[01:49] <MadHaTTrr> make sure you save with compatibility settings
[01:49] <ohHaiImTawm> dmesg should work too
[01:49] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: What?
[01:49] <tessarakt> lowkie: so restarting the mysql server is not enough?
[01:49] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: how i paste all of it directly to pastebin??
[01:49] <MadHaTTrr> When you save, make sure you don't save it in libreoffice's .osd format
[01:49] <tessarakt> I wonder why dpkg-reconfigure does not do that?!
[01:49] <ohHaiImTawm> copy and paste
[01:49] <lowkie> tessarakt, that will work too
[01:49] <MadHaTTrr> there are several legacy options to save the files
[01:49] <Rukoroz> oh lol
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: We save as Doc or Xls
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> and it still makes problems
[01:50] <Rukoroz> ok, im running dmesg
[01:50] <ohHaiImTawm> pastebin is pretty strait forward ;)
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> like formatting
[01:50] <MadHaTTrr> like what?
[01:50] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: install 'pastebinit', aftwards run that which causes the errors followed by '| pastebinit' should get a link, share it
[01:50] <tessarakt> well, it doesn't
[01:50] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: The person I work for does not want me to have them use Libreoffice.
[01:50] <Rukoroz> ok thanks :D almoxarife
[01:50] <MadHaTTrr> I'd play around with the various save formats, found in libreoffice's preferences
[01:51] <MadHaTTrr> :(
[01:51] <lowkie> tessarakt, I have never reconfigured with the package manager.  Try http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix
[01:51] <Rukoroz> but wait, ican install it fine on a live cd?
[01:51] <Rukoroz> im chatting right from livecd!
[01:51] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: should
[01:51] <tessarakt> mysql stop/waiting     mysql start/running, process 5467
[01:51] <Rukoroz> ok
[01:51] <GRMrGecko> MadHaTTrr: My question isn't what should I use other than Microsoft Office
[01:51] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: if you have network connectivity it will
[01:51] <tessarakt> that's what dpkg-reconfigure does afterwards
[01:51] <Rukoroz> yeah :)
[01:51] <GRMrGecko> It's can I run Microsoft Office 2010.
[01:51] <GRMrGecko> Should I download Trial and test?
[01:52] <almoxarife> GRMrGecko: why not try the install with wine, worse case it crashes
[01:52] <MadHaTTrr> ^^
[01:52] <tessarakt> It's quite annoying that you only get advice to use a workaround and yet another workaround
[01:52] <tessarakt> but no-one knows whether it works how it is supposed to work ...
[01:52] <MadHaTTrr> better than having no options
[01:52] <ohHaiImTawm> GRMrGecko: I've never heard anyone run MSOffice well from wine. My knowledge is a bit dated thought.
[01:52] <lowkie> tessarakt, I know that one I showed you work
[01:52] <MadHaTTrr> any GRUB experts in here?
[01:53] <MadHaTTrr> or Backtrack users?
[01:53] <tessarakt> yes - but the Ubuntu way would be dpkg-reconfigure
[01:53] <xangua> !backtrack | MadHaTTrr
[01:53] <tessarakt> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root'; - I can try again, but that DID NOT work for me
[01:53] <yabai> lol
[01:53] <genesisbot> i use backtrack
[01:53] <tessarakt> because there was no root user in that table
[01:54] <MadHaTTrr> don't wanna register
[01:54] <lowkie> tessarakt, what user do you use then?
[01:54] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: wait, what's the package name of that?
[01:54] <bazhang> MadHaTTrr, bt is not supported here. please dont ask again
[01:54] <MadHaTTrr> genesisbot, what GRUB version do you run?
[01:54] <tessarakt> hu?
[01:54] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: pastebinit
[01:54] <tessarakt> none, yet
[01:54] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: hmm, dmesg is fine?
[01:54] <tessarakt> I'm just trying to set up MySQL
[01:55] <Rukoroz> because errors are there :P
[01:55] <MadHaTTrr> my question is not so much a question about BT5, but upgrading GRUB
[01:55] <bazhang> MadHaTTrr, #backtrack-linux
[01:55] <lowkie> tessarakt, a root user is created by default.  It's in the mysql database, in the user table.
[01:55] <rypervenche> MadHaTTrr: Why do you want to upgrade?
[01:55] <MadHaTTrr> it conflicts with my Ubuntu 11.10 ext HDD
[01:55] <almoxarife> rypervenche: !ot
[01:55] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: wait, how come i get invalid package??
[01:55] <MadHaTTrr> my BT5 install disappears when I boot Oneiric
[01:55] <Rukoroz> unable to locate**
[01:56] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: pastebinit
[01:56] <Rukoroz> yeah
[01:56] <almoxarife> !info pastebinit
[01:56] <Rukoroz> i typed sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:56] <Rukoroz> and it says
[01:56] <Rukoroz> E:Unable to locate package
[01:56] <rypervenche> almoxarife: It was a question meant for help, if it was something I could help with. No need for that.
[01:56] <tessarakt> well, this is a vserver
[01:57] <Rukoroz> aff, unvierse component not available in live cd????
[01:57] <tessarakt> created from an image by the hosting provider
[01:57] <Rukoroz> almoxarife .....
[01:57] <tessarakt> maybe they did something strange
[01:57] <tessarakt> you know, I know what I saw
[01:57] <MadHaTTrr> for all intents and purposes, I'm running 10.04
[01:57] <almoxarife> rypervenche: yeah there is, do your backtrack help in #backtrack
[01:57] <MadHaTTrr> how would you upgrade 10.04's GRUB to 1.99?
[01:57] <pangolin> MadHaTTrr: but you're not really
[01:57] <pangolin> #backtrack-linux
[01:57] <MadHaTTrr> irrelevant, I want to upgrade the bootloader
[01:57] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: i dont think you have all repos avail
[01:58] <pangolin> MadHaTTrr: ask #backtrack-linux
[01:58] <rypervenche> almoxarife: I will help whomever I wish. However, I agree, he would do best to ask his question in #backtrack-linux.
[01:58] <lowkie> tessarakt, ?
[01:58] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: ok, what to do?
[01:58] <Rukoroz> almoxarife: to enable this in livecd
[01:58] <almoxarife> rypervenche: no, you wont, not if is not related to ubuntu
[01:58] <tessarakt> I guess it is that strange Parallel Plex Panel
[01:59] <tessarakt> it misconfigures all kinds of stuff ...
[01:59] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: how do you go about installing in live?
[01:59] <Rukoroz> idk lol, i can run no OS in this HDD so......
[01:59] <lowkie> tessarakt, can't help you there…I only do mysql through shell and phpmyadmin
[02:00] <mystogan> hi guys, so i've got an internet conection on my debian box, and i'm trying to share it with my ubuntu box via eth0, but no luck, what settings should ubuntu have?

[02:00] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: no
[02:01] <Rukoroz> almoxarife:  think im posting dmesg command to pastebin
[02:01] <almoxarife> live-cd installs to ram? yes or no?
[02:01] <lowkie> mystogan, set the ubuntu box's default route to the debian box
[02:01] <mystogan> ?? where?
[02:02] <mystogan> network manager?
[02:02] <lowkie> mystogan, /etc/network/interfaces…or route cmd

[02:08] <Rukoroz> hello?
[02:08] <blackshirt> hello
[02:09] <googler32> Hi, I downloaded the 64 bit iso for ubuntu - on a computer that support LM cpuflags aka 64 bit. However upon installing it still shows at i686
[02:09] <jaar> hola !!!
[02:10] <h00k> googler32: yeah, it may be i686, but that doesn't mean it's a 64bit
[02:10] <googler32> h00k: Well actually it means it's not.
[02:10] <googler32> My question is why is this happening despite my processor support 64bit and me having used the 64 bit iso
[02:11] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: I need to get going but investigate the other hard drive utility that was mentioned to you and run that on the hard drive while its unmounted to see if it can repair the bad sectors
[02:11] <blackshirt> what is the mean "no caching" on description of tinyproxy http proxy server ?
[02:11] <psusi> googler32, what shows i686?
[02:11] <xangua> googler32: uname -m ; what does it show¿
[02:12] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: ok, but im not able to run that if repo for that is universal, because livecd have that disabled :(
[02:12] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: im trying to fix this using livecd, is all i got here :)
[02:12] <googler32> xangua: i686
[02:12] <psusi> googler32, then you didn't download and install the 64bit version...
[02:12] <googler32> Im going to recheck but I know I did!
[02:13] <xangua> googler32: then you downloaded and installed the 32bit ubuntu version
[02:13] <lowkie> x86_64
[02:13] <googler32> I suppose so
[02:13] <googler32> bbiab
[02:13] <xangua> googler32: it can't change magically ;)
[02:13] <ohHaiImTawm> Rukoroz: hrm can you try installing it from a tarball from the utilitie's website? It'll take more time than an apt-get but it may work
[02:13] <h00k> HOOKAY.
[02:13] <h00k> *caps.
[02:13] <Rukoroz> cmon, i don't wanna lose all files, if im not able, then i gotta format this :(
[02:14] <psusi> Rukoroz, so enable universe
[02:14] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: ok, and sorry the pastebin is cut, sure, imma inst in other ways :)
[02:14] <Rukoroz> psusi: lol, how to enable it on livecd 11.10?
[02:14] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: link?
[02:15] <psusi> Rukoroz, either by ticking the box to enable it in synaptic or editing /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:15] <xangua> Rukoroz: Software Center, Edirt, Sources
[02:15] <Rukoroz> ohHaiImTawm: and please let it be not too complicated :)
[02:15] <xangua> Edit*
[02:15] <Rukoroz> psusi: dude, synaptic is not anymore in 11.10 so, soft center :P
[02:15] <andre4s> hi
[02:16] <almoxarife> Rukoroz: synaptic is avail, if you install it
[02:16] <psusi> still used to using synaptic myself...
[02:16] <mystogan> lowkie
[02:17] <andre4s> i installed today the 11.10 on my ppc (ibook g4) and the installer runs fine, on the first reboot it hangs after running the kernel on the initramfs and gave me 100 errors like "fatal: could not load /lib/modules/3.0.0.12-powerpc/modules.de: no such file or directory"
[02:17] <andre4s> anybody knows how to fix this bug?
[02:18] <andre4s> the file modules.dep exists in the known directory
[02:18] <lowkie> mystogan, yes?
[02:18] <vite> Hi everyone has ubuntu server 12.04 been released
[02:19] <lowkie> it's a bit early
[02:19] <xangua> vite: is it already april¿
[02:19] <psusi> vite, is it already 4/12/2012?
[02:19] <mystogan> lowkie: still no luck. what was the other command using route?
[02:19] <Rukoroz_> sorry, X reset
[02:19] <Rukoroz_> ok, what were saying?
[02:20] <Rukoroz_> sorry lost all trace :(
[02:20] <lowkie> mystogan, route delete 0.0.0.0….route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gw debianbox
[02:21] <vite> so i get prepared how would I go around upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04
[02:21] <lowkie> apt-get diet-upgrade
[02:21] <lowkie> dist-upgrade*
[02:22] <Ruokazek> hello, ohHaiImTawm it's the old user
[02:22] <Ruokazek> rukoroz, why i got banned???
[02:22] <Ruokazek> ..
[02:22] <vite> lowkie just like that and everything automatically runs?
[02:22] <andre4s> nobody any idea how to fix my modules.dep bug?
[02:23] <Ruokazek> ohHaiImTawm: hi, now, i got to install, testdisk??
[02:23] <lowkie> vite, I prefer clean installs…but I have used it twice in production with no errors
[02:24] <johtso> Hmm, I'm running a simple development server on localhost.. and for some reason it's seeing all incoming GETs as POSTS.. is there some way to see what's going on? I have wireshark running, but I'm not sure how to interpret it..
[02:24] <andre4s> why is the file missing?
[02:24] <andre4s> is it a kernel bug?
[02:25] <andre4s> i do not understand the need of the initramfs
[02:25] <andre4s> can anybody explain it to mee
[02:25] <andre4s> ?
[02:25] <psusi> johtso, how to interpret it?  well does it show a GET command or a POST command?
[02:26] <Ruokazek> help, why apt-get is making a malformed source.list file????
[02:26] <Ruokazek> when i run sudo apt-get update?
[02:26] <psusi> Ruokazek, apt-get does not make sources.list, it reads it
[02:26] <johtso> psusi: it shows TCP packets
[02:26] <Ruokazek> psusi: ok, what i can do in live cd?
[02:26] <psusi> johtso, right click and there's an option to assemble the tcp stream or something and show you the text
[02:27] <Ruokazek> because im trying to install some package
[02:27] <Ruokazek> !info testdisk
[02:27] <psusi> Ruokazek, so... install them?
[02:27] <Ruokazek> yeah, im not able --.-
[02:27] <Ruokazek> even if universal enabled :(
[02:27] <psusi> why not?
[02:28] <Ruokazek> i have this
[02:28] <blackshirt> !info tinyproxy
[02:28] <Ruokazek> W: Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64 (20111012)/dists/oneiric/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'restricted/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
[02:28] <blackshirt> hello
[02:28] <Ruokazek> and it finishes with
[02:28] <psusi> Ruokazek, so?  that's just a warning saying it can't find the cd...ignore it
[02:28] <Ruokazek> E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[02:28] <Ruokazek> so
[02:29] <xangua> Ruokazek: disable cd  in Software Center, Edit, Sources
[02:29] <Ruokazek> aff ok
[02:29] <Ruokazek> i enabled all sources :P
[02:29] <dubellz> if any active ops here can take a look at #ubuntu-es-offtopic , there's a flooder there, not sure if you share access lists though
[02:29] <psusi> well you can disable the cd source to get rid of the warning, or you can just ignore it... it isn't hurting anything
[02:30] <Ruokazek> idk, looks like sources are locked???
[02:30] <Ruokazek> because
[02:30] <Ruokazek> universal, etc got disabled again
[02:30] <Ruokazek> it still not finding testdisk, help!
[02:31] <aperson> I noticed lately that ubuntu no longer has /dev/shm/ listed as a tmpfs.  Is there a reason for this?
[02:31] <psusi> Ruokazek, you'll have to be less vague... enable the universe, apt-get update, apt-get install testdisk
[02:31] <Ruokazek> psusi: found an iusse, the sources are kind of blocked?
[02:31] <Ruokazek> yes i did
[02:31] <Ruokazek> looks like it gets disabled
[02:31] <psusi> Ruokazek, why do you say that?
[02:32] <Ruokazek> ok here it goes
[02:32] <johtso> psusi: hmm, I am seeing a GET request.. and the server responding with a 405 method not allowed
[02:32] <Ruokazek> psusi: nevermind
[02:32] <Ruokazek> now it's enabled :P
[02:32] <psusi> johtso, ok...
[02:32] <skypup03> -h
[02:32] <skypup03> lol my bad
[02:33] <Ruokazek> finally, got rid of source blocking..
[02:33] <skypup03> hey there RickGIII, how you liking verizon fios?
[02:33] <skypup03> hmph
[02:34] <Ruokazek> why windows and testdisk detect disk as it haves 298gb and why ubuntu says it haves 320gb???
[02:34] <Ruokazek> oh
[02:35] <ariane5> where i can talk about all and nothing ?
[02:35] <acerimmer> !offtopic
[02:35] <Ruokazek> hey, testdisk is kind of locked/froze idea??
[02:36] <Ruokazek> oh nevermind
[02:37] <ariane5> why can i use ubuntu not windows ? ;-)
[02:38] <Ruokazek> ariane5: lol, why? im able to use anything :D
[02:38] <Ruokazek> ariane5: mac, windows,and linux and variants xD
[02:39] <ariane5> too many options
[02:39] <ariane5> specyfication is good
[02:40] <redlegoreng> Hi ! I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 32 bits on my new W520. I'm not sure however if the graphic card (Nvidia Quadro 2000m). The propritery driver seems to be activated by default, but i still get Unity2D only. What should I do ?
[02:41] <pdg1> redlegoreng: are you loging in automatically? ie. does it prompt you for a password when you turn the comp on?
[02:41] <pdg1> logging*
[02:41] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:43] <ariane5> my mind can work with windows does can change it ?
[02:43] <pdg1> have you tried logging out and logging in selecting (under session) Ubuntu?
[02:43] <pdg1> assuming Ubuntu is an option instead of Ubuntu 2D
[02:44] <redlegoreng> i'll try that !
[02:44] <redlegoreng> maybe i overlooked the option
[02:44] <pdg1> redlegoreng: otherwise I'm pretty sure there's a file somewhere that defines the default session
[02:44] <RichardWinters> I have a question about IRC server freenode
[02:45] <RichardWinters> does the server has permitted the use of Bouncer ?
[02:45] <ariane5> good work with webchat
[02:46] <Zaukox> hello, how i can fix/scan the HDD with testdisk?
[02:46] <Zaukox> i got 66 bad clusters....
[02:47] <pdg1> RichardWinters: unsure. i found this tho http://ericholscher.com/blog/2010/nov/5/using-znc-irc-bouncer/
[02:47] <RichardWinters> cuak !
[02:49] <Zaukox> anyone???
[02:49] <somsip> Zaukox: Have you done a backup yet?
[02:49] <Rango> does ubuntu use LVM yet?
[02:49] <RichardWinters> thats what i was talking about, thanks pdg1
[02:49] <pdg1> redlegoreng: you still there?
[02:49] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:49] <RichardWinters> its time to reboot and learn ubuntu
[02:49]  * RichardWinters is scared
[02:49] <Zaukox> somsip: nope, and it's badly corrupted, im on livecd, cannot run any system in hdd
[02:49] <redlegoreng> there's the ubuntu or unbutu 2d option
[02:50] <redlegoreng> however, even if i select ubuntu, it is ubuntu 2d that loads
[02:50] <somsip> Zaukox: I strongly recommend a backup as your first priority. You might do more damage in trying to repair bad blocks, and that number of bad blocks might indicate an impending HD failure
[02:50] <pdg1> hmmm
[02:51] <Zaukox> redlegoreng: that's because the graphics do not support ubuntu but it supports u2d
[02:51] <pdg1> redlegoreng: just wondering, have you used ubuntu before? is this your first time? should I be gentle?
[02:51] <redlegoreng> yes it's my first time :)
[02:52] <pdg1> okay...
[02:52] <Zaukox> somsip: ok, i got 66 bad clusters from smart info, im not able to use gparted,  and im kind of stuck in testdisk....
[02:52] <pdg1> redlegoreng: you said you just installed it on a W-something
[02:52] <pdg1> what was it?
[02:52] <redlegoreng> w520
[02:53] <pdg1> laptop of some kind?
[02:53] <Zaukox> somsip: and zero backups, what the point of backuping a corrupted disk?
[02:53] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:53] <Zaukox> somsip: idea?
[02:53] <somsip> Zaukox: because you have files on there that you want to keep, I assume. If you attempt to fix the bad blocks and lose all data on the disk, you might wish you'd done a backup first. And don't spam me. Give me chance to type
[02:54] <Zaukox> somsip: ok, sorry :P, yeah, i got two OS there. and nonee of them im able to boot, is a pain starting over, Really....
[02:54] <pdg1> redlegoreng: could be that there's some restricted graphics drivers that you need to install. or even some updates that need to take plac
[02:55] <somsip> Zaukox: I understand, but it happens. You could just go ahead and do a disk repair and be fine, but there is always a risk
[02:55] <redlegoreng> yes i have been googling for a while, but i didnt find clear information
[02:56] <pdg1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedDrivers there's some info on restricted drivers
[02:56] <pdg1> who's the manufacter?
[02:56] <slicknick5181> Has anyone had experience with LTSP?
[02:56] <pdg1> n/m lenovo
[02:56] <pdg1> I'm assuming
[02:56] <redlegoreng> yes
[02:57] <redlegoreng> in system settings / additional drivers, it seems that some addition driver are already installed and running
[02:57] <pdg1> hmmm
[02:58] <nanoguy> i am using ubuntu for 3 months but last week system tray is crashed and not starts now. help me
[02:58] <Zaukox> somsip: ik about it, nevermind if i run that risk, either if it gets worse, bye disk.....  yep, im not able to repair this, disk utility crashed when  i tired to get smart status and i tried to do check fs but it says, fs is not clean... and when it's mounted it comes with some kind of online slots not available?? umm, ideas pleaseee
[03:01] <nanoguy> so i last network applet and hp printer support help me. i am using ubuntu 10.10
[03:01] <Zaukox> somsip: are u there??
[03:02] <somsip> Zaukox: I'm no expert on HD problems. I guess you've tried running fsck without moutning the disk? And yes I'm here, but my attention is not solely on you
[03:03] <Zaukox> ok, yes, oh aw, frogot fsck :P and oh well :P
[03:03] <Zaukox> im running that
[03:03] <somsip> Zaukox: After trying fsck, I'm out of ideas
[03:03] <shepherd> hi. how do I use vesa instead of nouveau? nouveau is being used   │ ikonia
[03:03] <shepherd>                   | by default, and X wont start up "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for  │ JorisL_42
[03:03] <Zaukox> hmm, im new on fsck, ideas?
[03:04] <DarkStar1> Is there anyone here that knows a great deal about web services infrastructure. I want to run something by someone to get an opinion
[03:05] <shepherd> Hi. I need to use Vesa instead of Nouveau. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 8100, and X fails to start "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"
[03:05] <pdg1> redlegoreng: i also found this. I'm not sure if it'll help http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/how-to-change-default-session-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[03:05] <DarkStar1> becquse I either have an OS bug or I have a bug triggered by service provider's caching issues
[03:06] <pdg1> redlegoreng: i dont' think that one will help, sorry... I just realized that it does the same thing you did by logging out and trying to change the session
[03:07] <Zaukox> anyone in fsck usage??
[03:07] <Zaukox> im new using fsck....
[03:09] <Zaukox> what's the fsck command i need to run to scan the whole disk?????
[03:11] <Zaukox> hello?
[03:11] <acerimmer> Zaukox: greetings
[03:11] <Zaukox> somsip: hey, how i can make fsck scan and fix the whole disk?
[03:12] <Zaukox> acerimmer: hey, how i can make fsck scan and fix the whole disk?

[03:12] <somsip> Get your very own LMGTFY sticker! You know you
[03:12] <somsip> want one!
[03:12] <somsip> Zaukox: ooops.
[03:12] <Zaukox> lol
[03:13] <pdg1> redlegoreng: I'm sorry I'm not much help... that's about all I know :P . I did find this other article about all the things you may want to do after installing Ubuntu . http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/09/12/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-11-10-aka-oneiric-ocelot/
[03:13] <somsip> Zaukox: http://bit.ly/yE6IKp
[03:13] <acerimmer> somsip: :)
[03:13] <Zaukox> awww lol
[03:14] <redlegoreng> ok, thanks for your help
[03:14] <Zaukox> aff,  somsip that google search is not verry useful for me....
[03:15] <somsip> Zaukox: maybe it will inspire you to try different combinations of words. I was sat here googling for you and all you were doing was repeating the same question in IRC. Go figure.
[03:15] <Zaukox> lol ok
[03:15] <acerimmer> Zaukox: see here: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-checkrepair-fsck-filesystem.html
[03:15] <somsip> Zaukox: Like I said, I'm no expert. I understand fsck is the tool for the job. Beyond that, you need someone else to help, or to find out a little more yourself. I'm out
[03:16] <Zaukox> yeah, i don't know to use fsck :(
[03:17] <TiMiDo> Zaukox, man fsck
[03:17] <TiMiDo> ;)
[03:17] <Jeremy3D> Trying to run dual monitors, one an actual comptuer monitor and one a tv with a vga output.  getting error "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2880, 900), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)"
[03:17] <Jeremy3D> but i really dont understand what it's asking for
[03:18] <Jeremy3D> they're both currently set to 1440X900
[03:18] <Jeremy3D> oh
[03:18] <Jeremy3D> so the total can't be above 1600 ?
[03:19] <acerimmer> Jeremy3D: does vga tv output @1440x900?
[03:19] <Jeremy3D> honestly not sure. i'll have to look the model up
[03:19] <Zaukox> TiMiDo: yeah, that does not make any trick here :( that does not have info about how to run a FULL hard disk check+repair....
[03:20] <dasnbob> have a problem with unity upgrade
[03:20] <TiMiDo> Zaukox, read about it on the man page
[03:20] <Zaukox> Jeremy3D: maybe u are no able to do extended dual screen because 1440+1440 excceds the limit, can it be?
[03:21] <Jeremy3D> it just says Resolution 1366 x 768 but i'm not sure if that's for the tv or the vga
[03:21] <acerimmer> Jeremy3D: that's the exact resolution of my dell laptop...
[03:22] <harris> what do i type to shutdown the linux systme
[03:22] <dasnbob> would like some help fixing some items broken during 11.10 upgrade from 11.04 in classic mode
[03:22] <somsip> harris: sudo shutdown -h now
[03:22] <Zaukox> TiMiDo: im so noob, too bad i cannot even find a way out to make up the full scan, can it be /dev/sda?
[03:22] <hiexpo> Jeremy3D, thats the fes of your laptop
[03:22] <hiexpo> ^res
[03:22] <Zaukox> harris: or, sudo halt
[03:23] <TiMiDo> Zaukox, then type, in google fsck tutorial
[03:23] <acerimmer> harris: sudo init 0
[03:23] <TiMiDo> you'll find 1000 of manuals
[03:23] <Zaukox> TiMiDo: oh well
[03:24] <Hiz> Question:i still dont know why ubuntu change repository everytime they release. example, what is essentially difference between lucid repo and Oneiric repo?
[03:25] <Ben64> Hiz: they're different versions..
[03:26] <Hiz> Ben64: thx reply. but lucid repo also update everyday..
[03:26] <dasnbob> I believe there were major changes in code language between   9  and 11    (lucid and oneric)
[03:26] <Zaukox> im not even able to use fsck! :(
[03:26] <Zaukox> really, im not able to get any soft check and fix /dev/sda!!
[03:26] <franzks> Everytime I start up Ubuntu, the brightness is always at full and the wifi and bluetooth are always on even if I turned them off before. Why is that? I'm on an Acer 4740 notebook running Oneiric
[03:26] <Ben64> Zaukox: why can't you fsck
[03:27] <VectorX> hi, i am trying to put the 'ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso' iso on a pendrive but cant find the option on 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.7.8' can someone point me to what i should do ?, with unetbootin when installing it downloads most of the files again from the net so thats not working well
[03:27] <Zaukox> fsck.ext2: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda
[03:27] <ubluntu> Zaukox: is it mounted ..?
[03:27] <Ben64> Zaukox: you need to have the partition not mounted in order to check it
[03:27] <Zaukox> i ran this sudo fsck -MV /dev/sda -- -a -y
[03:28] <Zaukox> yes, is NOT mounted
[03:28] <theorem> curious, I want to upgrade my video card, but the X config flickers when it tries to load the old drivers, is there a way to back down to non-accelerated drivers ( using beryl) so I could al least get to the GUI ?
[03:28] <Zaukox> and im trying to scan the whole disk
[03:28] <ubluntu> uh. idk try doing one at a tim
[03:28] <nanoguy> vectorx: u may boot with same cd on virtual box and startup disk creater tool
[03:28] <Zaukox> that's why sda, not sdaN
[03:28] <dasnbob> guess   most of the tech help   went home.............
[03:29]  * theorem sighs
[03:29] <theorem> Zaukox: what are you trying to do ?
[03:29] <Ben64> Zaukox: pastebin the following: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and "mount"
[03:29] <Zaukox> scan and fix the whole disk, im on live cd
[03:29] <theorem> 'fix' ?
[03:29] <theorem> fsck ?
[03:29] <VectorX> nanoguy ok ty
[03:29] <theorem> fsck -y /
[03:29] <theorem> or ...
[03:30] <theorem> you have to do it a partition at a time
[03:30] <theorem> or write a script to drive it
[03:30] <zykotick9> VectorX: have you tried using cat to the device?  not sure if alternate is a hybrid-cd or not, it should be.
[03:30] <Zaukox> theorem: im trying to scan the whole disk, smart says that i got 66 bad clusters, and im not able to  use gparted
[03:30] <theorem> for i in 1..3 then \ fsck -i /dev/sda$i \ end
[03:31] <VectorX> zykotick9 trying on windows, ill give a shot to nanoguy's suggestion
[03:31] <Ben64> Zaukox: pastebin the following: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and "mount"
[03:31] <VectorX> also how do you change the dash to the normal gnome file menu sort of thing
[03:31] <theorem> VectorX: that's on google
[03:31] <Zaukox> ok ben
[03:32] <VectorX> theorem couldnt really find it, but ill try again once i get this disk going
[03:32] <theorem> 'it' ?
[03:32] <Zaukox> why fdisk ben?
[03:32] <VectorX> how do change the dash to the menu sstem
[03:32] <VectorX> system
[03:32] <theorem> fdisk shows him the partitions
[03:32] <Ben64> Zaukox: to see the partitions
[03:33] <Zaukox> oh
[03:33] <theorem> Zaukox: it's just as easy to mount / and cat /etc/fstab
[03:33] <Zaukox> oh
[03:33] <Ben64> theorem: not really
[03:33] <theorem> just fsck /dev/sda1  first (likely / )
[03:33] <theorem> Ben64: meh .. depends how bad the drive is :)
[03:34]  * theorem lets Ben64 drive.
[03:34] <samijam> Does anybody know where, in Ubuntu 11.10, I can set the Guest session to use gnome-shell by default, and set other guest session defaults?
[03:34] <Zaukox> tada: ran all of it and pasted -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810332/
[03:35] <Zaukox> frogot mount :(
[03:35] <Ben64> Zaukox: i think you mean you forgot fdisk
[03:35] <Zaukox> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810333/
[03:35] <Ben64> nothing changed
[03:35] <Zaukox> shows nothing
[03:36] <Ben64> Zaukox: "fdisk -l /dev/sda" shows nothing?
[03:36] <Zaukox> oh wait
[03:36] <Zaukox> here goes the pastebin
[03:36] <Zaukox> im appending |pastebinit

[03:37] <harris> my laptop used to boot linux from CD, now it will not boot any of my linux cds, it goes straight to windows. I have bios setup correctly. nothing is wrong with the cds. i also have a windows xp cd i want to reinstall. but it wont let me because it goes straight to windows. so my computer will not boot from any cds now. the cd reader is working fine.
[03:37] <Zaukox> there... see and tell me :P
[03:37] <Ben64> Zaukox: fsck won't check/fix NTFS partitions
[03:37] <Zaukox> uh so?
[03:37] <Ben64> Zaukox: you can use fsck on /dev/sda2 though
[03:37] <Zaukox> and swap?
[03:37] <Ben64> swap doesn't need to be checked
[03:37] <Zaukox> oh
[03:37] <theorem> harris: edit your BIOS options
[03:37] <samijam> harris, it sounds like the cd reader is not working fine
[03:38] <theorem> harris: change your BIOS boot order.
[03:38] <harris> but i know its working fine
[03:38] <Zaukox> ok, so how i can run ntfs check here?
[03:38] <samijam> harris, or the bios boot order :)
[03:38] <harris> i did reorder teh BIOS already
[03:38] <Ben64> Zaukox: you don't, you have to use windows
[03:38] <Zaukox> Ben64: i cannot boot any OS :(
[03:38] <harris> everything was working fine just yesterday
[03:38] <harris> now today it misbehaves
[03:39] <theorem> harris: smells fishy. your CD drive may not be getting detected, does it work at all ?
[03:39] <Zaukox> im on live cd, it's a little pain to reconfig it.....
[03:39] <Zaukox> so
[03:39] <harris> yes i can read all files from CD drive
[03:39] <Ben64> Zaukox: try fsck on /dev/sda2 then
[03:39] <Zaukox> ok
[03:39] <theorem> harris: you tested it ?
[03:39] <harris> i viewed them manually
[03:39] <lowkie> harris, unplug your HD and see if you can boot of your cd
[03:39] <theorem> follow lowkie
[03:39] <harris> i am able to see all filed whn i insert cd
[03:40] <theorem> see is not "use"
[03:40] <theorem> see only reads the TOC.
[03:40] <harris> its a laptop
[03:40] <theorem> harris: the HDD comes out.
[03:40] <harris> how can i test it
[03:40] <harris> ok good idea
[03:40] <harris> i can take out the HD
[03:40] <harris> but whats a way to test the CD reader
[03:40] <harris> just open soem files from CD manually?
[03:40] <lowkie> harris, please pull battery before you remove HD
[03:40] <dasnbob> guess the only interest to help is with the HD prob,,,,
[03:40] <harris> ok
[03:41] <harris> it can short circuit if i dont remove batt?
[03:41] <theorem> no
[03:41] <theorem> the batt keeps the bios settings alive
[03:41] <lowkie> doubt it…but be safe
[03:41] <Zaukox> Ben64: wat the cmd for the sda2 check+fix?
[03:41] <theorem> brb
[03:42] <Ben64> Zaukox: "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2"
[03:42] <Zaukox> ok, imma paste that :P
[03:43] <Zaukox> it's running
[03:43] <Zaukox> lol, im blind
[03:44] <dasnbob> any help out there     for   reverting back to 'classic' mode   in 11.10        the unity desktop no to my liking
[03:44] <Zaukox> dasnbob: hmm, try idk, some other stuff?
[03:44] <dasnbob> uses to many resources
[03:44] <Zaukox> also synaptic disappeard
[03:45] <dasnbob> idk ????
[03:45] <Zaukox> dasnbob: hmm idk, try another display manager?
[03:45] <dasnbob> ok      how
[03:45] <Zaukox> i din't know*
[03:45] <trism> !notunity | dasnbob
[03:45] <Zaukox> oh "P\
[03:45] <Zaukox> aww
[03:46] <VectorX> i am installing LTSP off the 'ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso' CD, come of questions on the iso, when it comes to installing software in the initial install, the installer starts to download from the net, how do i stop that and also i need to install the 386 architechture, can i put the 386 iso on the same usb in the directory and tell it to use those file ?
[03:46] <Zaukox> idk bout that new thingy, ubottu , trism
[03:46] <dasnbob> can't copy to save   that     but thank you
[03:47] <Zaukox> Ben64: hmm, i wonder how long it will take -.-
[03:47] <Zaukox> im canceling it and running without paste
[03:47] <lowkie> it can run for hours
[03:47] <dasnbob> using    Oneiric      liked   Maverick
[03:48] <dasnbob> 10.10
[03:48] <Zaukox> ok there it goes Ben64  :)
[03:48] <harris> hey it works! after i took out the hard drive, it boots to CD, but, how can i reinstall my windows XP without the harddrive!?
[03:48] <harris> can i put the hard drive into the laptop while its still on? i dont think so
[03:48] <Zaukox> harris: u got to put back the hdd, u need to power it off and pull batt,
[03:49] <lowkie> harris, if it works with no hard drive then you have a bios/boot priority issue
[03:49] <Zaukox> and u really need to go BIOS/CMOS setup
[03:49] <Zaukox> hey Ben64 , wondering why this comes Error reading block 1267 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan.  Ignore error? yes
[03:50] <Zaukox>  how i do repair the ntfs partition on ubuntu??
[03:51] <lowkie> Zaukox, you can't…boot windows and chkdsk
[03:52] <Zaukox> lowkie: no :(
[03:52] <Zaukox> corrupt boot :(
[03:52] <lowkie> Zaukox, windows has a repair mode too
[03:52] <Zaukox> lowkie: i can at least do chkdsk within win7 inst cd
[03:52] <Zaukox> yeah
[03:52] <Zaukox> :P
[03:53] <Zaukox> oh well
[03:53] <Zaukox> lowkie: i cannot even run local repair mode
[03:53] <Zaukox> think im going to run win7 cd
[03:53] <Zaukox> cd/dvd :P
[03:53] <Zaukox> lowkie: really is not possible to scan ntfs in ubuntu??
[03:54] <lowkie> Zaukox, ntfs support is iffy at best with linux.  It's all reversing engineering….you want to trust that to repair?
[03:54] <Zaukox> lowkie: damn, how bad is the support here?
[03:55] <lowkie> Zaukox, what do you mean?
[03:55] <Zaukox> how good is the ntfs disk support for check+fix in ubuntu??
[03:56] <lowkie> Zaukox, there is no support for it
[03:56] <Zaukox> :(
[03:56] <Zaukox> so
[03:56] <Zaukox> also
[03:56] <Zaukox> does  the swap disk never need to be checked?
[03:56] <lowkie> Zaukox, swap can be reformatted…it's only temp data
[03:57] <Zaukox> oh, is fine then to delete it and tada, brandnew swap?
[03:57] <lowkie> delete the partition?
[03:58] <Zaukox> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810347/ <--:O
[03:58] <lowkie> I would say you need a new drive
[03:59] <Zaukox> lowkie: why? and, i kept using this pc at fully power for 7 months, and this is a netbook
[03:59] <Zaukox> so
[04:00] <Zaukox> yay, it's fixing :P
[04:00] <lowkie> Zaukox, once bad blocks start…it's rare for it to stop
[04:00] <Zaukox> hmm, with the force rewite, do i get the cluster data back?
[04:00] <Zaukox> lowkie: the bad blocking hit the booting parts badly
[04:00] <Ben64> yeah once smart messages start coming up, it means time for a new drive
[04:00] <Zaukox> but
[04:00] <Zaukox> mbr is safe
[04:01] <Zaukox> also
[04:01] <Zaukox> i been using this for 7 months only
[04:01] <lowkie> Zaukox, warranty it then
[04:01] <Zaukox> umm, zero warranty because i/we requested none, because foregin
[04:02] <Ben64> then get a new hard drive
[04:02] <Zaukox> do i keep the data fine in the clusters?
[04:02] <Zaukox> yeah, i cannot, is expensive
[04:02] <multipass> is there any way to reset my network devices? I have a ubuntu server virtual box that says its using eth5 and eth6?
[04:02] <urlin2u> Zaukox, clone it at the least.
[04:03] <Zaukox> and, my dad says that fully format solves it all, is he right?
[04:03] <pnorman> Zaukox: If you go for no warranty, you're betting that it'll be cheaper on average to replace the drive then to return it.
[04:03] <Ben64> Zaukox: the easiest thing to do would be to format and reinstall, but the hard drive errors will still exist
[04:03] <pnorman> Zaukox: there's no way to make the drive reliable again
[04:03] <lowkie> Zaukox, smart errors are hardware issues…format doesn't fix hardware problems
[04:03] <Zaukox> ok, and if i do low level format?
[04:03] <lowkie> eek!
[04:03] <Zaukox> !!
[04:04] <Zaukox> wat if i do lowlevel format to it?
[04:04] <mobile> i
[04:04] <pnorman> Zaukox: Is it even possible to buy a drive without a warantty?
[04:04] <lowkie> Zaukox, got a small boat that could use an anchor?
[04:05] <Zaukox> not for me, cause i brought this in usa, im in argentina, so no warranty
[04:05] <Zaukox> lol lowkie
[04:05] <pnorman> Zaukox: What brand?
[04:05] <Zaukox> it's an Acer Aspire One 722
[04:05] <pnorman> Not the computer, the drive
[04:05] <Zaukox> lol
[04:05] <Zaukox> wait
[04:06] <|Anthony|> Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device?
[04:07] <TravisD> I'm trying to use my laptop as a network bridge to share my wireless connection over ethernet. I have created a new wireless network and changed the ipv4 method to "Shared to other computers". When I try to use it, however, it keeps reconnecting and disconnecting. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
[04:07] <TravisD> a new wired network*
[04:07] <Zaukox> ok, /dev/sda is: 320GB/298GB  hard disk (ATA Hitachi HTS43232A7A384), that's wat disk utility says
[04:08] <TiMiDo> TravisD, check dmesg
[04:08] <Zaukox> pnorman:there
[04:09] <Zaukox> now i got corrupted dirs!!
[04:09] <pnorman> Zaukox: According to the hitachi site you can return the *drive* to the place of purchase under hitachi's warranty if not in one of the countries listed. http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/support/warranty/
[04:09] <TravisD> TiMiDo: There are some messages saying no IPv6 routers present, some other saying eth0: link becomes ready followed by eth0:link is not ready, followed by irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X followed by eth0 NIC Link is Up<100 Mbps Full Duplex>
[04:10] <Zaukox> nono, i got ZERO WARRANTY
[04:10] <TiMiDo> TravisD, what laptop is this,?
[04:10] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Asus EEE 1000HA
[04:10] <TravisD> er, 1005HA
[04:10] <pnorman> Zaukox: Contact hitachi and tell them that the place you bought the drive from is refusing to accept it for a return.
[04:11] <joeko> I just used dd to clone a disk, how do I load the disks partition table?
[04:11] <Zaukox> pnorman: IM NOT WARRANTY PROTECTED!
[04:11] <pnorman> Zaukox: For the laptop? I'm not talking about the laptop warranty
[04:11] <Zaukox> both
[04:11] <Zaukox> all of it
[04:11] <cheako> Hello, how can I remove a program from the manually installed list?
[04:12] <lowkie> pnorman, he doesn't wash to use warranty
[04:12] <pnorman> I don't believe hitachi allows its drives to be sold with no warranty
[04:12] <cheako> s/program/package/
[04:12] <lowkie> want to use*
[04:12] <TiMiDo> TravisD, how are you connecting,?
[04:12] <TiMiDo> wlan0 or eth0?
[04:12] <TravisD> TiMiDo: it is connected to my wireless network on wlan0 ( I think ) and to another machine over eth0
[04:12] <Zaukox> how long can the repair take?
[04:12] <urlin2u> joeko, do you mean boot the new drive?
[04:12] <TiMiDo> TravisD, are you using a router?
[04:13] <pnorman> They don't actually repair drives. they send you a new one
[04:13] <TiMiDo> Hub?
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Yes, but that connection is working fine
[04:13] <Zaukox> no lol, im running fsck on the ubuntu partition
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: I'm actually trying to set up my netbook + a router as a repeater
[04:13] <lowkie> Zaukox, I have a server that takes 42 hours to run a chkdsk on
[04:13] <TiMiDo> paste me your dmesg  paste.ubuntu.com
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: So the device trying to connect over eth0 is a router
[04:13] <TiMiDo> and give me the url
[04:13] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Sure
[04:13] <Zaukox> lowkie: really? how big?
[04:14] <lowkie> Zaukox, 2 TB full of small files
[04:14] <Zaukox> aw awaw
[04:14] <Zaukox> crazy lowkie
[04:14] <cheako> Drives have a large tendency to have a large first wave on the bathtub curve.  The company would have to deal with customers regularly in regards to this, so I'd vote for mandatory warranty on drives.
[04:14] <Zaukox> lol wat, im here without ANY WARRANTY CMON
[04:15] <joeko> urlin2u, no I mean reload the disk partition table, like when you write a new partition table using fdisk and after the write sda1 and sda2 become available
[04:15] <Zaukox> ok,
[04:15] <TravisD> TiMiDo: paste.ubuntu.com/810352/
[04:16] <Zaukox> oh god think im losing stuff
[04:16] <cheako> lowkie: Dosn't your OS do background scanning?
[04:16] <lowkie> joeko, have you tried "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" …insert correct device
[04:16] <TiMiDo> TravisD, read this article, http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/08/06/perfect-ubuntu-jaunty-on-the-asus-eeepc-1005ha-and-1008ha/
[04:16] <Zaukox> ok it finished..
[04:17] <lowkie> cheako, yeah, but I do forced during maintenance windows
[04:17] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Oh. Thanks for finding that :) I just need to build those drivers and then we're good to go?
[04:17] <Zaukox> uhhh, bad sector climbed!
[04:18] <TiMiDo> first of all which release are you using?
[04:18] <Zaukox> 133 now :(
[04:18] <TiMiDo> TravisD, are you using the atheros drivers?
[04:18] <urlin2u> joeko, never used fdisk so  miss the point here.
[04:18] <urlin2u> I*
[04:19] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm not sure about atheros drivers. How do I check?
[04:19] <TiMiDo> TravisD, paste lsmod to paste.ubuntu.com
[04:19] <Zaukox> ok pnorman , Ben64, lowkie... now it got worse, fsck finished but it end up with smart telling i have 133 bad sectors now
[04:19] <|Anthony|> Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device?
[04:19] <lowkie> Zaukox, that's what we were saying
[04:20] <Zaukox> 133 on the whole disk, i scanned /dev/sda2 which is ubuntu system part
[04:20] <Zaukox> so
[04:20] <lowkie> Zaukox, 133 only scanning sda2…when you do your windows partition there could be more
[04:20] <TravisD> TiMiDo: paste.ubuntu.com/810355
[04:21] <Zaukox> damn, how the hell i make that go down ?
[04:21] <lowkie> Zaukox, buy a new drive
[04:21] <TiMiDo> yeah you are using the ather0s drivers, ath9k
[04:21] <Zaukox> No!, what then? lowkie
[04:21] <TiMiDo> now TravisD man iptables and have Fun,
[04:21] <lowkie> Zaukox, how well do you like live cd's?
[04:21] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Heh, no way to avoid that?
[04:22] <Zaukox> lol, not much, unless it's presistent
[04:22] <lowkie> Zaukox, I hear pen drives are cool
[04:22] <Zaukox> and got no usb here
[04:22] <Zaukox> yeah
[04:22] <TiMiDo> why would you avoid, that since is your Wireless driver?
[04:22] <TiMiDo> TravisD,
[04:22] <Zaukox> so lowkie ?
[04:22] <lowkie> Zaukox, you have a hardware failure…or soon to be….software can't fix hardware
[04:22] <TravisD> TiMiDo: IP tables seem intimidating
[04:23] <nosleep77> :D
[04:23] <Zaukox> so?
[04:23] <TiMiDo> TravisD, join #Netfilter
[04:23] <lowkie> Zaukox, just do a backup…and enjoy live cds
[04:23] <Zaukox> cmon it's really a pain starting over :(
[04:23] <TravisD> TiMiDo: So, the problem is that I don't have it set up properly? I will join Netfilter soon
[04:23] <flowerpot> What is the equivalent of mkbootdisk on Ubuntu?
[04:23] <TiMiDo> yeah you need to configure it properly TravisD
[04:24] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Good chance to learn I guess :)
[04:24] <Zaukox> will low level format fix all this lowkie ?
[04:24] <lowkie> Zaukox, low level formatting an IDE or SATA drive will destroy it
[04:24] <TiMiDo> also check the router configuration on the local ip and configure it from there also TravisD
[04:24] <Zaukox> lowkie: yes, and then?
[04:24] <nosleep77> flowerpot, mkboot i think
[04:24] <lowkie> Zaukox, and then it will NEVER work again
[04:24] <flowerpot> I searched apt-cache for mkboot but couldn't find it
[04:25] <flowerpot> it's not in debianutils either...where is it?
[04:25] <Zaukox> really?
[04:25] <TiMiDo> to see if the router, Firewall might be blocking it, TravisD
[04:25] <TravisD> TiMiDo: Should I use static IPs?
[04:25] <Zaukox> lowkie: why?
[04:25] <lowkie> Zaukox, it won't just destroy the data…it will destroy the drive itself
[04:25] <Ben64> Zaukox: it is impossible to fix the hard drive
[04:25] <TiMiDo> for a server, i suggest you do so, TravisD
[04:25] <flowerpot> sudo apt-cache search mkboot returns "abootimg - Tool to read/write/update android boot images"
[04:25] <lowkie> Zaukox, IDE/SATA are not SCSI, MFM, or RLL drives
[04:25] <TravisD> okay, thanks TiMiDo
[04:25] <nosleep77> hmm .. :(
[04:26] <GitNick> guys im chrooted from a live cd into my broken installation, in which I managed to wipe the boot partition. How to I regen/reinstall the vmlinuz image?
[04:26] <Zaukox> in logical terms, i bet if i do low format it will be like a brand new hdd, im right?
[04:26] <lowkie> Zaukox, yes…I went back to MFM days
[04:26] <cheako> Hello, how can I remove a package from the manually installed list?
[04:26] <TiMiDo> no problem TravisD
[04:26] <Zaukox> lowkie: oh lol
[04:26] <happymonkey> ya ubuntu problem solving while drunk
[04:26] <happymonkey> so good
[04:26] <happymonkey> let's do it
[04:26] <nosleep77> flowerpot, do u just wanna do the dd thing
[04:26] <cipher__> has anyone here installed ubuntu on a xps15z?
[04:27] <lowkie> Zaukox, do as you wish…I hope that drive has a safety on it to keep you from destroying it
[04:27] <flowerpot> nosleep77, not sure what "the dd thing" is
[04:27] <Zaukox> sure about that lowkie ? because hmmm,
[04:27] <happymonkey> cipher__: looks like a nice machine
[04:28] <flowerpot> nosleep77, I'm learning about the Linux bootstrap process, and the book I'm reading uses mkbootimage so I was hoping to follow along. That's all.  If there's an alternative for Ubuntu, I'm all ears.
[04:28] <nosleep77> flowerpot, there's a manual way of doing it
[04:28] <nosleep77> flowerpot, i just googled and there's a buncha stuff
[04:28] <lowkie> Zaukox, I have given you my advice…it's your choice if you wish to ignore it
[04:28] <flowerpot> could you give me your google string?
[04:29] <cipher__> happymonkey: thanks, unfortunately I cannot even get it to boot from the "installation splash." I have also read the trackpad, wireless, and graphics card(s) have issues. I was just curious if there is anyone that has resolved these issues; I refuse to use windows :p
[04:29] <nosleep77> "create book disk ubuntu"
[04:29] <Zaukox> YES, DAMN U lowkie  THE LOW FORMAT REGENS THE MAGNETIC SECTORS OF THE DISK, SO, WHY NOT DO LOW FORMAT!?
[04:29] <flowerpot> cool.  thanks nosleep77
[04:29] <happymonkey> cipher__: what graphics card do you have installed on it?
[04:30] <lowkie> Zaukox, good luck
[04:30] <Zaukox> why lol
[04:30] <Ben64> because you're going to break your drive even worse
[04:30] <nosleep77> flowerpot, yw
[04:30] <Zaukox> HOW I CAN REDUCE THE CURRENT PENDING SECTOR COUNT!?
[04:30] <Zaukox> REALLY
[04:30] <Ben64> you don't
[04:30] <Zaukox> DO NOT TELL ME TO BUY A NEW HDD
[04:31] <urlin2u> Zaukox, could you lay low on the cap key.
[04:31] <happymonkey> cipher__: look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1776254&page=6 im.brien's post
[04:31] <happymonkey> seems to be promising
[04:31] <lowkie> Zaukox, you are screwed…accept it
[04:31] <Zaukox> ok, Ben64 ,why we are not able to reduce that!?
[04:31] <happymonkey> Zaukox: buy a new hdd
[04:31] <Ben64> Zaukox: because it is physically bad
[04:31] <cipher__> happymonkey: geforce gt 525m
[04:32] <Zaukox> ok, how come that powered on time is 53,5 days??
[04:32] <cipher__> happymonkey: will do
[04:32] <Zaukox> Ben64: and low format will fix that or not?
[04:33] <Ben64> Zaukox: thats already been answered many many times, no.

[04:34] <footofthehare> I just installed an nvidia card in my uncles computer and I ran nvidia-xconfig, and rebooted, now all i get is a blinking screen that alternated between blank and what looks like a terminal log in
[04:34] <footofthehare> can i fix this without a live cd
[04:34] <Zaukox> LOL
[04:34] <urlin2u> !nomodeset > footofthehare
[04:34] <yq_> hi all
[04:34] <happymonkey> footofthehare: you need to boot into non X mode
[04:35] <happymonkey> footofthehare: it should be the second option available in grub
[04:35] <Zaukox> !badsectors
[04:35] <happymonkey> Zaukox: :)
[04:35] <Zaukox> lol
[04:35] <Zaukox> nothing?
[04:35] <Zaukox> oh
[04:35] <footofthehare> how do i see the grub
[04:35] <urlin2u> Zaukox, try #hardrive-miracles  :D
[04:35] <Zaukox> ubottu: idk about that :(
[04:36] <happymonkey> footofthehare: good question, what version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[04:36] <cipher__> happymonkey: i am not too dogmatic about my distro -- i am a fluxbox and terminal guy -- would you honestly say there are other distros with much more compatability on major machines other than ubuntu? I wouldn't mind trying an alt. even as much as i do enjoy ubuntu..
[04:36] <footofthehare> I think his is 10.4 the lts
[04:36] <Zaukox> urlin2u:  lol, a nothing channel
[04:36] <happymonkey> cipher__: I use Arch but I'm not too dogmatic either
[04:37] <GhostWolf> hi does anyone know what the site for themes for ubuntu? i can't remember it but there were only like maybe around 7 or so themes for ubuntu but don't remember the site
[04:37] <happymonkey> cipher__: I don't think that my distro. would help you much because the hardware in your lappi appears to be rather difficult for kernel/X to deal with at this time
[04:37] <Zaukox> ok, readerror rate is: 9505632
[04:37] <cipher__> happymonkey, okY
[04:37] <Zaukox> is that bad?
[04:37] <cipher__> okay*
[04:38] <cipher__> give me 10 hours, it'll boot by then :p
[04:38] <happymonkey> cipher__: right on
[04:38] <cipher__> (or i will have bricked it through grub)
[04:38] <cipher__> :p
[04:38] <happymonkey> cipher__: just dig into the hardware you have and see what can be done
[04:38] <happymonkey> :P
[04:38] <Zaukox> hey!
[04:39] <cipher__> well, i will see you on the other side.
[04:39] <happymonkey> cipher__: :D
[04:39] <happymonkey> cipher__: yes!
[04:39] <happymonkey> owell the most important part is to enjoy
[04:40] <Zaukox> ok so?
[04:40] <Zaukox> im out of ideas :((
[04:41] <GhostWolf> does anyone here know the site to download original ubuntu themes?
[04:43] <Zaukox> hellooooo!!

[04:46] <Zaukox> lowkie: ok, ubuntu is clean
[04:47] <cabpa> hello. this is just a suggestion if gnome could include or integrate the package x-tile in gnome so that we can arrange/tile our opened windows
[04:47] <lowkie> Zaukox, nice
[04:47] <GhostWolf> so can any of you help me? i'll ask my question once again, i know theres a site that has ubuntu themes that you can download it only has a like 7 or so themes. do any of you know the site?
[04:48] <Zaukox> and, why the sector stuff is climbing?
[04:48] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: I don't want to help you, why do you want to be like Windows 7
[04:48] <happymonkey> ?
[04:48] <Zaukox> now it went from 66 to 133 bad sectors
[04:48] <happymonkey> That's so retarded
[04:48] <happymonkey> I can't even engage
[04:48] <GhostWolf> what happyface?
[04:48] <lowkie> Zaukox, cuz your hard drive is upset with you for voiding the warranty
[04:48] <GhostWolf> i mean happymonkey
[04:48] <xangua> GhostWolf: gnome-look.org
[04:48] <Zaukox> lol, sure? i don't think so...
[04:48] <GhostWolf> xangua, i believe thats the site let me check
[04:49] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: yes that's the site
[04:49] <Zaukox> can i really trust SMART info???
[04:49] <GhostWolf> no thats not it, its a different site than that.
[04:49] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: it's been the site for more than 8 years
[04:49] <Zaukox> ubuntu-themes.org?
[04:49] <GhostWolf> happymonkey, thats not the one im talking about
[04:49] <Zaukox> ubuntu-look.org ??
[04:49] <Zaukox> maybe>
[04:49] <pnorman> If you're having errors reading/writing to disk and smart is reporting problems, you can be pretty sure you've got problems.
[04:49] <happymonkey> GhostWolf: why not use a theme that's more original?

[04:51] <pfifo> Does ubuntu have an appliction for issuing commands by voice?
[04:51] <Zaukox> lowkie:  pnorman: can i safely update system now the ubuntu fs is clean??
[04:51] <GhostWolf> xangua, thats not the site i remember what it looks like it has only a select amount not alot of themes
[04:51] <Zaukox> lol GhostWolf yea, idk :P
[04:52] <GhostWolf> the site has themes like overglossed theme
[04:52] <lowkie> Zaukox, backup first…then do whatever you like
[04:52] <Zaukox> why lol , i don't bakup lowkie
[04:53] <lowkie> Zaukox, I see lots of live cds in your future
[04:53] <Zaukox> why read error rate is good even if non-zero vaule? lowkie
[04:53] <pfifo> the best backup solution is a setup that doesnt require backup
[04:54] <Zaukox> pfifo: how's that?
[04:54] <Zaukox> mirroring for example?
[04:54] <GhostWolf> ah well i found it. btw does anyone here deal with facebook games or zynga games?

[05:07] <quuxman> I have a pretty straightforward apt question that's been very difficult to google: how do I query all the packages installed that are in a given release (like oneiric vs natty)
[05:08] <quuxman> I tried to do a dist-upgrade to oneiric, but it broke my sound and video completely, so I downgraded back to natty, but there are still a bunch of packages from oneiric that are causing all sorts of dependency hell
[05:09] <xangua> quuxman: if you want natty back you would have to do a clean install
[05:09] <xangua> downgrade is Not supported
[05:09] <quuxman> xangua: I've already manually removed almost all the problem packages. It was a pain in the ass

[05:11] <Raduaweh> hi im running into the same problem as gparted, how i can skip or else the disk chooser durning installation....
[05:11] <Syph3r> you can try this command and search it with the name of the catory of app that might be problematic apt-cache search
[05:11] <quuxman> Syph3r: name of category? How do you search by "category"?
[05:12] <quuxman> Syph3r: and that searches all packages, not just ones installed
[05:12] <Syph3r> you said it broke your video and sound try a number of sound apps or video apps

[05:55] <pfifo> what is the difference between utc and gmt?

[06:06] <elpiratedechron> hey I know this is a stupid question but I haven't been using linux lately and am giving an old computer to a friend.. But I need to remove some stuff off of it first like passwords/steam games etc(I have a dual boot set up) but I no longer have the vga cable I used to use on this computer to hook it up to my 42" LCD.. it supports 1360x768 thru vga max and now all I have is a dvi-hdmi adapter... which DOESN'T support that
[06:06] <elpiratedechron> resolution.. so when I tried to boot into windows to clean stuff up it wouldn't work.. this is the only "Monitor" I have now and no vga cable... I was wondering if someone could remind me what I can do to change the resolution in windows using ubuntu.. I tried booting to safe mode but found that the damn drivers for my wireless mouse/keyboard fail to load and as you might guess.. they are my only mouse/keyboard atm... sooo
[06:06] <elpiratedechron>  any ideas?
[06:06] <FloodBot1> elpiratedechron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:08] <elpiratedechron> I don't mean to be a dick...and maybe I'm just in a bad mood....but screw you floodBOT :p
[06:08] <elpiratedechron> I know he's a bot.. I like talking to myself though
[06:08] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, I don't think you can change the resolution in windows from ubuntu.
[06:08] <elpiratedechron> damn...
[06:09] <TiMiDo> elpiratedechron, please behave
[06:09] <elpiratedechron> it's a nvidia card... there's no file I can delete to force it to go to default 800x600 or something?
[06:10] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, what is the ubuntu release, there is a dis0ply app for resolutions.
[06:10] <urlin2u> display*
[06:10] <urlin2u> or monitores
[06:10] <elpiratedechron> urlin2u: you did read I'm not trying to change unbuntu resolution
[06:10] <elpiratedechron> trying to change windows resolution on a dual boot
[06:10] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, youneed ##windows then
[06:10] <elpiratedechron> .........
[06:11] <LoRdRapTuReZ> hi all
[06:11] <elpiratedechron> I think you fail to see the issue... I can't boot into windows normally because the resolution I was using isn't compatiable with HDMI mode for my ONLY monitor which is a 42" lcd
[06:11] <LoRdRapTuReZ> anyone supports?
[06:11] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i need help on my ubuntu server
[06:11] <elpiratedechron> and my mouse/keyboard drivers won't load in safe mode
[06:11] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, this is ubuntu support not my rules.
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> I'm using unbuntu 10.04 right now
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> dual boot
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> guess I didn't make that clear enough :)
[06:12] <LoRdRapTuReZ> elpiratedechron.... need help from you
[06:12] <elpiratedechron> I might be able to help... but I'm rusty on my linux right now
[06:12] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, but your problem is windows go to their channel lots of great help there.
[06:13] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i just install ubuntu 10.04 server
[06:13] <LoRdRapTuReZ> the purpose are to make a file server but its seems to be doesnt help
[06:13] <elpiratedechron> I guess... but since I can't interface at all using safe mode... and since I cna't see anything with normal boot....
[06:13] <Flannel> elpiratedechron: You should ask in ##windows, there may be some boot file tweaking that you can force a particular resolution
[06:13] <arathald> well, it turns out that the problem was that ubuntu was mishandling my hdmi out. pulling out the cable and resetting lightdm fixed the problem
[06:14] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, if it has a recovery partition I would recover it anyway even if going to a friend.
[06:14] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it.
[06:14] <elpiratedechron> I was hoping I could do some trickery using linux.. clearly you dont' have any ideas but thanks anyway.. :) I'm sure there IS a way but you just dont' seem to know it.. and I'm pretty sure if I ask here and the other linux channels I'm in somebody will have a solution... I really doubt that the windows people will be able to help :)
[06:14] <elpiratedechron> It doesn't
[06:14] <elpiratedechron> it's a custom build
[06:15] <arathald> elpiratedechron: the only trickery using linux is accessing windows files. anything beyond that is a windows issue
[06:15] <msterbrewer> im having a strange bug with my sansa clip when i put music on it from my linux computer
[06:15] <msterbrewer> it will play the files
[06:15] <Flannel> elpiratedechron: The "way" would be to tweak whatever windows boot files, but knowing what to tweak in them is 100% a ##windows question.
[06:15] <msterbrewer> but when i connect it to a windows pc it shows the files arent there
[06:15] <elpiratedechron> arahald: I know that's why I was hoping there was a text file I could edit to change it but now that I think about it it's probably stored in a reg key
[06:15] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it. can anyone help me on this?
[06:15] <elpiratedechron> so I could use wine to load them and edit them :)
[06:15] <elpiratedechron> I'll look into that thanks arathald :D
[06:16] <arathald> ...
[06:16] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it. can anyone help me on this?
[06:16] <elpiratedechron> LoRdRapTuReZ: do you have a gui installed?
[06:16] <LoRdRapTuReZ> nope
[06:17] <elpiratedechron> hmmmm.. I don't remember off the top of my head.. hang on...
[06:17] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok

[06:18] <elpiratedechron> LoRdRapTuReZ: found a fourm post :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1647127
[06:18] <elpiratedechron> a few posts down it has the terminal commands for setting up static ip :)
[06:18] <almoxarife> elpiratedechron: access a ntfs partion from ubuntu is simple, and plinking within it is as simple, making changes to a ntfs partions files is also as simple, so it does come down to your win prowess and the ubuntu tools to do it with.
[06:18] <LoRdRapTuReZ> let me try and get back to you

[06:19] <elpiratedechron> almoxarife: i already can access the drive.. I know how to do that.. I just didn't know if there was a file but now that I thoght about it.. I'm 99% sure the resolution is stored in a registry key.. and I know how to edit them using wine
[06:19] <elpiratedechron> so I think I"m good :)
[06:19] <almoxarife> elpiratedechron: that would be a win issue
[06:24] <Priyanka> hi
[06:24] <Priyanka> can you help me
[06:24] <Priyanka> ?
[06:24] <Priyanka> pls reply
[06:25] <TRAVISg_> is there a way to enlarge the partition for an install of ubuntu 11.10 that is part of a dual boot? Without doing a fresh install.
[06:26] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, yes if it is not a wubi install.
[06:26] <TRAVISg_> it was
[06:27] <elpiratedechron> almoxarife: I don't think you read my original post carefully enough. :) I can't boot the windows partition becuase the resolution I was using last time I used this computer isnt' supported by my only monitor.. and safe mode wont' load the drivers for the only wireless mouse/keyboard I have.. but since I have a dual boot I was hoping I could do somethign in linux since I was able to edit xorg.conf using the terminal and bo
[06:27] <elpiratedechron> ot to linux.. I don't want to come off as unappricative but it seems you're just trying to prove you're smarter then me or something... If you don't have a solution that's fine.. as I said as soon as I go out and smoke a cig and take a dump I'm doing this: http://forums.techarena.in/monitor-video-cards/1186512.htm .. which will involve using wine to load my reg keys and change the resolution USING LINUX!!! What I posted is
[06:27] <elpiratedechron>  a valid solution to my problem... it is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for here.. Not some condescending response that it's a "windows issue" :) so thanks again but, again not to come off as unappreciative but get over yourself :)
[06:27] <FloodBot1> elpiratedechron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:27] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, you can actualy move that wubi to a actual partition as of now it s a file in windows.
[06:28] <urlin2u> elpiratedechron, waitv let me check the world does not revolve around your selfish needs.
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: ubuntu doesn't use 'reg keys'...
[06:29] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, here is the link for moving the wubi. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
[06:29] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, is that so? I mean do you suggest just running a fresh install I could on that machine it has only been in use for a few days.
[06:29]  * elpiratedechron facepalm
[06:30] <elpiratedechron> ActionParsnip: Please read what I posted above...
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: I don'tsee that, sorry. Are you working in Wine per chance?
[06:30] <elpiratedechron> ActionParsnip: exactly what I was going to do :)
[06:30] <elpiratedechron> I thought of that myself after coming here and posting... I haven't used linux in a good while so I forgot if there was a simple way to change windows resolution using linux :)
[06:31] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, your choice wubi is not a long term use designated per the developer.  http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: you can set resolutions in winecfg
[06:31] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, thanx I'll check it out. that's strange to me that it is just a file because I am getting the boot options at startup then at grub before I ever get to xp splash
[06:31] <elpiratedechron> there must be a way if it's not in a text file it's in a reg key... I HIGHLY doubt windows encrypts or otherwise hides whatever stores your resolution :)
[06:32] <elpiratedechron> ActionParsnip: exactly what I thought.. Thank you.. If +rep existed here I'd totally give you one :D
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: np man, just be cool :)
[06:32] <elpiratedechron> ... and -1 from almoxarife :p
[06:32] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, yeah it is a testdrive I have got my girlfriend testing the waters I'll get her switched over:)
[06:32] <urlin2u> TRAVISg_, grub when booting before a XP ubuntu choice?
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> elpiratedechron: you can setup a virtual desktop in winecfg which your apps will run in and you can set the res there. I had to do that to get Postal2 to run
[06:34] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u, no boot choice between xp and ubuntu. which now that you say it is windows huh? I am fairly new myself.
[06:34] <TRAVISg_> urlin2u you know what they say you want to learn something teach it
[06:35] <thechad90000> Does anyone know how I can customize my Gnome 3 Ubuntu desktop. I just got it and I don't know where to go to find cool themes and what not.
[06:35] <hexacode> hey you guys. i need some help with ubuntu. I use a netbook and it has a small screen. and some programs need me to stretch the window but i cant stretch it past a certain point. Eclipse for example requires that when i create a new class, i have to click on some other buttons on the gui, but i cant even see the buttons because they dont fit on screen
[06:35] <LoRdRapTuReZ> elpiratedechron. i manage to setup my fixed ip on the ubuntu but when i restart my server or when i enter " sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0" its still goes to the dhcp... how to make it permenanatly
[06:36] <metaspike> hexacode: you mean increase the window size?
[06:36] <metaspike> cant you just maximize it or something?
[06:37] <LoRdRapTuReZ> metaspike....
[06:37] <LoRdRapTuReZ> can u help me on this?
[06:37] <hexacode> metaspike: i maximize it but some portions need me to stretch the window more vertically
[06:37] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i manage to setup my fixed ip on the ubuntu but when i restart my server or when i enter " sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0" its still goes to the dhcp... how to make it permenanatly
[06:37] <hexacode> and i cant stretch it past a certain point because the mouse gets to the end of the screen
[06:38] <metaspike> LoRdRapTuReZ: well, first step would be to disable any dhcp clientstuff from interfering, dhcpd for instance.
[06:38] <metaspike> you could use bum or rcconf for that.
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> hexacode: you can use ALT to drag a window from ANY point
[06:38] <LoRdRapTuReZ> commands??
[06:38] <hexacode> thanks ActionParsnip  i think thats what i need
[06:39] <intok> anyone got experience with HFS+? I accidentally reformatted my usb flash to HFS+ on a Mac I was selling, now on Ubuntu I can read the flash, every file checks fine, but I cannot write to it anymore and it wont reformat with GParted to Fat32
[06:39] <skilz> Why when I do 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' if I login to a tty console it shows security updates and such availible?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: you can use /etc/network/interfaces  to manually define it with a config file, or install wicd-curses    and you will get a nice curses based GUI to configure interfaces
[06:39] <skilz> Why is aptitude not updating?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> skilz: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[06:39] <metaspike> LoRdRapTuReZ: what ActionParsnip said.
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> skilz: is apt-get any different (just to test)?
[06:39] <urlin2u> intok, the usb mounted in gparted when you try to format it?
[06:39] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok
[06:40] <LoRdRapTuReZ> will it works on ubuntu 10.04 server ?
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[06:40] <thechad90000> Sorry to ask again but I'm really looking for a good place to find themes for Gnome3 desktop and Ubuntu 11.10. Any help would be great.
[06:40] <skilz> ActionParsnip: What do you mean is apt-get and different?
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: the interfaces file works on all linuxes, even worked on Mandrake 7 back in 2000/2001
[06:40] <skilz> and of course I can ping googles dns server
[06:40] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok
[06:40] <metaspike> intok: it's probably being automounted or such, there's always sudo cfdisk <be careful though>
[06:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> installing it now ....
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> skilz: try:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade      is it different?
[06:41] <LoRdRapTuReZ> and how to activate it? or is it run by default
[06:41] <skilz> Oh yeah I done that also but still says updates availible
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: activate what?
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> skilz: can you pastebin the output please
[06:42] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to on GUI mode after install it
[06:42] <intok>  urlin2u metaspike GParted sees it, will let me go through the usual setup of whipeing and formatting a drive
[06:43] <urlin2u> intok, you see a little key icon on the usb?
[06:43] <urlin2u> in gparted intok
[06:44] <hot_wheelz> I have a question with regard to http://www.ubuntu.com/tv
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: wicd-curses gives a text based UI, so no need for GUI...
[06:44] <hot_wheelz> i'm guessing it could become like an officailly suppported mythtv distro right?
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: I thought you were on server?
[06:44] <hot_wheelz> but built into tv's
[06:45] <hot_wheelz> Correct
[06:45] <urlin2u> hot_wheelz, lol if you say so.
[06:45] <metaspike> hot_wheelz: just plug your computer into TV :)
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: it possibly could, why not
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: there is a PPA for the TV interface if you want it, there is a how to on omgubuntu...
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> metaspike: +1
[06:47] <hot_wheelz> ActionParsnip url to article please
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-ubuntu-tv-right-now-via-ppa/
[06:47] <hot_wheelz> ActionParsnip thanks man
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> hot_wheelz: all you had to search for was: ubuntu tv ppa
[06:47] <seshagiri> Hey... I just want to know whether there is any MYSQL-C++ connector for Linux which supports Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit? I have come across few like mysqlcppapi, SQLC++ API etc.. But none of them are working for the latest version of Ubuntu. Any idea?
[06:48] <skilz> How do I stop checking /dev/sda1 for errors at next boot, it does it every boot
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> skilz: usually means the file system isn't healthy. I'd check it fully in liveCD
[06:49] <intok> urlin2u tosses this error http://pastebin.com/3p9AZjAc
[06:49] <skilz> how?
[06:49] <skilz> ActionParsnip: It's an old IBM Thinkpad G4 Pentium 4, so not much I can do about it really..
[06:50] <skilz> G40
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> skilz: boot to liveCD then read:  man fsck    you can then tell the checker to check the partition and repair the errors
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> skilz: the model of system is irrelevant
[06:50] <urlin2u> intok, honestly you are yet to answer my questions, so I quit.
[06:54] <intok> urlin2u Oh, I don't see a lock, just an orange square with what looks like a comic strip voice bubble, but the image it otherwise too small
[06:55] <virtuaposta> this might not be right place to post this but if anyone faced this issue : I have configured openvpn+openldap using openvpn-auth-ldap, but while connecting from client, server complains that user not found. Any guidance please. Here are the logs : http://pastebin.com/dJtzbMJx
[06:57] <urlin2u> intok, can you take a screen shot of gparted and put it in imagebin.  http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[06:58] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ActionParsnip.... i can edit but once its ask to press f10 (ok) and i reboot its stills goes to DHCP ip
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: did you add:   iface eth0 inet static    as the 2nd line detailing the interface?
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: I assume wired connection
[07:00] <LoRdRapTuReZ> but when i run wicd-curses ( its says that its connected to my fixed ip)
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: what does ifconfig   show?
[07:02] <LoRdRapTuReZ> its shows my fixed ip
[07:02] <LoRdRapTuReZ> but once i restart my server
[07:03] <osmosis> is there a way for me to make alt-tab immediate, instead of showing me icons?
[07:03] <LoRdRapTuReZ> its shows my dhcp ip
[07:04] <LoRdRapTuReZ> commands to disable the dhcp ??
[07:04] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ActionParsnip
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: dude, I'd use the interfaces file, its far easier
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: plus you won't have to start the wicd service, making the OS leaner
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> LoRdRapTuReZ: you will need to specify the DNS servers manually if you use static IP
[07:13] <skilz> How can I auto mount and unmount '/dev/sda1 /mnt/media' on boot and reboot/shutdown?
[07:14] <skilz> I've been using 'gksu mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/media' in the .fluxbox/startup file but I think it isn't unmounting propperly on shutdown
[07:16] <anand> hello i performed an update and after that i am unable to login into my ubuntu system is there any way i can rollback to previous state???plz reply soon
[07:16] <skilz> anand: Frankly, no.

[07:18] <anand> skilz: ok i tried to login in cli mode from there i tried to run xserver using startx but it says connection to xserver is lost how to fix it
[07:20] <skilz> Whats the line I should add in fstab
[07:20] <styelz> anand: to start the server use stop lightdm or start lightdm    if you are running 11.10
[07:22] <overclucker> !fstab

[07:29] <Swarnava> can anyone tell me how to install ubuntu on top of Windows 7
[07:29] <Swarnava> with dual booting and without partition
[07:30] <overclucker> !wubi
[07:30] <Swarnava> i have ubuntu cd already
[07:31] <Swarnava> overclucker: but i need the step
[07:32] <urlin2u> Swarnava, if you want a real dual boot it has to be partitioned, wubi is a file in windows.
[07:33] <Swarnava> i have 3 drive
[07:33] <Swarnava> C D and E
[07:33] <Swarnava> in C, i have installed Windows 7
[07:33] <Swarnava> and D is completely blank where i want to install ubuntu
[07:34] <urlin2u> Swarnava, are you sure thise are drives and not partitions?
[07:34] <urlin2u> those*
[07:34] <skilz> If I want /dev/sda1 to mount to /mnt/media on boot and unmount on shutdown/reboot, what line do I need to add to /etc/fstab ?
[07:35] <Swarnava> urlin2u: yes
[07:35] <sm0gg> C: will always be the name of the drive/partition the os boots from
[07:35] <Swarnava> i dont understand what are you trying to saying drive/partition, but those are ok
[07:35] <Swarnava> i had file on c
[07:35] <Swarnava> sorry D*
[07:36] <overclucker> skilz: what filesystem is on that partition?
[07:36] <Swarnava> i move them to my external HDD
[07:36] <llutz_> skilz: "/dev/sda1 /mnt/media  ext4 defaults 0 0"         if it's ext4-fs, you could use "UUID=xxx" instead of /dev/sda1, get UUID from "blkid"
[07:36] <nc__> Goodmorning
[07:36] <Swarnava> now what?
[07:36] <urlin2u> Swarnava, drive=hard drive a partition is a area in a drive they are not the same.
[07:37] <Swarnava> urlin2u: i have partitioned
[07:37] <Swarnava> 59GB free out of 64 gb
[07:37] <Swarnava> in D
[07:37] <urlin2u> Swarnava, you have the windows backed up?

[07:48] <edo> ane pekanbaru.
[07:48] <ublinux> what is your suggestion ?
[07:48] <Swarnava> urlin2u: DVD

[07:50] <ublinux> what is the best way to fix this problem
[07:51] <Ayu> edo: mksdnya "baru masuk hari ini nih" hehe
[07:51] <llutz_> !en | ayu edo
[07:52] <Ayu> llutz_: okay, so sorry
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[07:52] <edo> ayu, ya ane juga pertama kali...
[07:53] <edo> llutz, sorry bro...
[07:53] <urlin2u> Swarnava, when I said ultimate I meant the next higher W7 release after pro. If you have W7 pro or ultimate you can save multiple partitions and drives
[07:53] <ublinux> dont know
[07:54] <Swarnava> urlin2u: save to where?
[07:54] <Swarnava> removal media?
[07:54] <urlin2u> Swarnava, a HD
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: its a big terminal command, run it and select to upload to the server, it will generate a URL. What is the URL? Of course you won't know the output, its massive and complex
[07:55] <ublinux> dont understand. Sorry.
[07:55] <Swarnava> !seen arrbee
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: like make an image, or copy data 1-to-1
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: have you ever used terminal, to type commands??
[07:55] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, it is a full image clone
[07:56] <Swarnava> urlin2u: is there any chance to remove all my hDD Data?
[07:56] <Swarnava> :O
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: I see, linux has had that for years...Windows only just caught up ;)
[07:56] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, the user wants to install ubuntu I was hoping to get them backed up.
[07:57] <ublinux> ok, are you asking for a copy of my cd that came with my motherboard to send you?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: makes sense, Win7 can also resize its own partitions but backing up before is wise
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: when did I ever mention a CD?
[07:58] <ublinux> sorry. did not know what you are asking
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: copy the long command I gave, open a terminal and paste the command in, hit ENTER and the script will download and run, press Y to upload to the server and a URL will be generated. You can then paste that URL in here
[07:59] <urlin2u> Swarnava, when you say remove all your media you mean by mistake?
[08:00] <ublinux> very sorry still dont understand.
[08:00] <Swarnava> urlin2u: no they give me the list to choose which drive i want to install? :O
[08:00] <urlin2u> Swarnava, you have lost me and it is late here, so I will let others help. :D
[08:00] <auronandace> ActionParsnip: you sure he isn't doing that on purpose? your instructions are very clear
[08:01] <llutz_> ublinux: what is your native language?
[08:02] <ublinux> auronandace, i am not swavay with linux or its command line
[08:02] <ublinux> llutz, english
[08:02] <llutz_> oh
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: its a copy and paste, that's all
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: you can copy and paste text,right....
[08:03] <ublinux> i know copy and paste, but what info are you requestin and what will it do?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: its nothing to do with being savvy with ubuntu. I'm sure you can copy and paste text
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: it will give us the sound information of your system
[08:03] <mordof> nevermind... i found it..
[08:04] <mordof> painful
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> mordof: sometimes stuff is hidden or hard in many OSes
[08:05] <mordof> ActionParsnip: no, i'm using the dvorak layout at the moment
[08:06] <mordof> ActionParsnip: it's just painfully slow for me until i get used to it, lol
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> mordof: the new keyboard layout, you mean?
[08:07] <mordof> ActionParsnip: yes
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> mordof: sounds painful indeed
[08:08] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, generally I use clonezilla though it saves the mbr, I hardly use my W7 except for doing uplaods to my colleges online class stuff, it wont read linux.
[08:08] <mordof> ActionParsnip: i've swithced over to dvorak
[08:08] <DarkCold> I used ubuntu... untell I TOOK AN ARROW TO DAH KNEE!!!!
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: whatever works dude :)
[08:09] <mordof> ActionParsnip: i heard it was better
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> mordof: better how?
[08:09] <Peppe__> Hi, I have managed to F***Up my grafics drivers in ubuntu. I had a problem with ubuntu not detecting higer resolutions than 640x480 for my new Marantz AV receiver, so I got a bit carried away and removed the the current nvidia drivers in synaptic, (and rebboted). Now i obviosly don't have any driver for my grafics card, is there an easy way to completely reinstall the default ubuntu grafics drivers, so i can start from a clean slate?
[08:10] <mordof> ActionParsnip: less limitations once you're used to it.  it won't slow you down as much.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: what is the output of:   sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a     please use http://pastie.org   to host the output (or similar)
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> mordof: I use a tonne of shortcuts, scripts and aliases, makes typing faster
[08:11] <mordof> ActionParsnip: yeah same
[08:11] <mordof> ActionParsnip: but that still has it's limits
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> seems fine here :)
[08:12] <mordof> ActionParsnip: what's your WPM?
[08:12] <ublinux> give me the text to copy and paste again please and we will try it.
[08:13] <ublinux> got terminal open
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> mordof: lastI checked (about 10 years ago, was about 24 or some)
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[08:13] <mordof> o.o
[08:13] <mordof> ActionParsnip: .. really?
[08:13] <mordof> and you think it's still near that?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> mordof: not sure, I don't type long pieces of text much nowadays
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: ah, alright then
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: well in that case, it's not that pertinent for you to switch xD
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: (switched back to qwerty for the conversation, lol)
[08:14] <ublinux> i did it and it said no such file
[08:14] <mordof> ActionParsnip: that was just.. painful.. but i want to learn it anyhow
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> mordof: I launch my browser by typing:  chr   and it runs, that sort of thing
[08:15] <mordof> ActionParsnip: ah
[08:15] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip I'm currently at work, I was hopping that you could run something like, remover xorg/drivers etc and then use apt-get to reinstall default ones, i.e to get back to default ubuntu drivers. (Could you enable additional drivers from commandline?)
[08:15] <mordof> ActionParsnip: most things are faster for me to type them in full because i don't have my brain programmed for the shortcuts
[08:15] <osmosis> any git experts around?i just did a   git add myfile;   git commit -m 'a msg';     and now myfile has disappeared. nowhere to be found
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: ok try: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[08:15] <osmosis> git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm get_flo.py' HEAD; git add get_flo.py; git add get_flo_privateinfo.py; git commit -m 'adding files'
[08:15] <ublinux> tell me what to type in terminal
[08:15] <mordof> ActionParsnip: i'm capped out at about 110WPM average, dvorak is supposed to make key transitions easier
[08:16] <mordof> ActionParsnip: hence why i want to learn it
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: if you can give the output of the command, we can advise
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> mordof: makes sense
[08:17] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, okay, I will have to get back to you later, I don't curently have access to the computer..
[08:17] <karash_l> ftp://ajax:ajaxajax@shellmix.com:60/
[08:17] <ron> hi. I know this is not strictly an ubuntu question, but maybe someone could assist. lately my computer gets stuck fairly often, not entirely sure why (running ubuntu 11.10). there's no way to switch to a different terminal, and I can't connect to the computer remotely. I suspect this could be due to faulty hardware but I'm not sure. are there any tools that can assist me to find out what goes wrong?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: I'd suggest you try:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    as a first call
[08:17] <karash_l> ups
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> ron: I'd test RAM first. You may be able to press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there if it is only the X server which has hung
[08:19] <ron> ActionParsnip: no, like I said, I can't switch to a different terminal, the computer is completely unresponsive.
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ron: test RAM is a good first move then
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: output something like this: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cd396c8cb9d1a70d76a5c9f43ad1449aa1c31540
[08:21] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, thanks i will try it. One more thing, i guess that apt-get install nvidia-current will give my x-swat version of nvidia, has this repo is enabled in synaptic. I would really like to try the additional/restricted drivers that comes with ubuntu 11.10, can i install these from commandline as well?
[08:22] <skypent> I'm having trouble with ggnfs giving me errors (when i'm pretty sure I have all the prereqs) with a make command.  Wondering if anyone experience with msieve/ggnfs could help me out with this one.
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: not by default, if you added the ppa then yes
[08:22] <ublinux> i did it and nothing
[08:22] <ublinux> what now?
[08:24] <ron> ActionParsnip: sorry, my computer hang right when I was here.. and my bouncer is on that computer. now connected directly instead.
[08:24] <ublinux> need audio driver for ubuntu, realtek alc8888
[08:24] <urlin2u> ublinux, in the terminal after that command is run is a http address post it for ActionParsnip
[08:25] <ron> ActionParsnip: not sure if and which of my previous messages went through.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> ron: hold shift at boot and select memtest from there. If you see RED then the RAM is faulty
[08:26] <ublinux> urlin2u, sorry i closed terminal and restarted it
[08:26] <ron> ActionParsnip: will try that, thanks.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: when you run the command, read the output...
[08:26] <ublinux> dont know how to post url
[08:26] <urlin2u> ublinux, run it again open the http then post its http address
[08:28] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, maybe you could advise me on how to solve my first problem, i.e. the one that made me become stupid and remove the driver in the first place. I just received my new marantz-reciver yesterday, and connected the hdmi, and i could only select 640x480 resolutions. I tried adding resolutions with modline xrander, but only got could not read gamma -something something. Is there a way to enable the the option to choose from a
[08:28] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i have done to change ip address.
[08:28] <ron> Peppe__: congratulations on the receiver ;)
[08:28] <Swarnava> urlin2u: backed up, now what?
[08:29] <Peppe__> ron, thanks =) I would just like to be able to use a resolution higher than 640x480 ;p
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: nvidia-settings will let you set resolutions. You should be ableto use the nouveau driver or even the nv driver, both are in a default install.
[08:29] <ron> Peppe__: don't be petty ;)
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: you could even blacklist the nouveau driver and use the nv driver
[08:30] <ublinux> urlin2u, i did it and it said to inform the person helping me.
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: yes, copy the red URL in the terminal
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: what is the URL?
[08:31] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, the problem was that i really could not set any resolution higher than 640x480 in nvidia-settings, no such options in the dropdown, and xrander stated the same..
[08:31] <ublinux> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=45cb4b2aae80c9bc964d8a682c5fc231c9a37b4e
[08:32] <urlin2u> Swarnava, it is really late here I would hate to make a mistake helping you so I will let others do that, good job on getting backed up.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: install nvidia-current and you can set higher resolutions. If your monitor is cheap and not reportin EDID, you may need an xorg.cof file
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: not hard huh, copy and paste :)
[08:32] <Peppe__> iActionParsnip, i guess ubuntu does not understand the info sent by the av, could this be disabled so i can choose without restriction?
[08:32] <ublinux> is that correct, i just copy and paste?
[08:32] <ublinux> so now what?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: ok, run:   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable;  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*         Then reboot
[08:33] <ublinux> I apreciate your patience.
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: that will get you to alsa 1.0.24 which may help
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: also, just so you know, Maverick is no longer supported in any way after April this year
[08:35] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, the strange thing is that my TV/monitor is crapy, but if i had it connected to the computer directly i could choose among many more resolutions. But when i connected it through the new av (marantz 1602) i could only set 640x480...
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: once you get the nvidia driver in, you can run:   sudo nvidia-xconfig    and it will make an xorg.conf file for you, you can then run:  gksudo nvidia-settings  and set a resolutions. if one you desire is not present just set it to something then click 'Save to X config file', you can then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and change the resolution as you wish
[08:37] <gregory_> what interface are you using?
[08:37] <ublinux> great now you tell me. does that mean that i need to upgrade and maybe help my situation.
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: if you get no desktop, simply boot to root recovery mode and rename the file
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: maverick has some old sound libs, as your output shows. The updates wil help a lot
[08:38] <ublinux> ok, but dont like unity
[08:38] <ublinux> i will update and see what happens
[08:39] <ublinux> Thanks alot!
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: np :)
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> ublinux: you do'y have to use unity you know..
[08:39] <ublinux> yea.
[08:40] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, okay thanks, sorry for being a bit stupid. But by gksudo nvidia-settings  and set a resolutions, do you mean that i should have all possible resolutions in a dropdown list, or should i manually add them?
[08:40] <Guest3663> Whats the best IMAP setup to go for on a ubuntu system?
[08:40] <ublinux> closing out this irc , see you later. Thanks again. Peace!
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: you will have some, but if not, you can manually set it in xorg.conf
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> padlefot1: there is no single best anything in any OS
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> padlefot1: do you mean for an email server?
[08:41] <padlefot1> ActionParsnip: fair enough.. never setup imap on ubuntu before and was looking for a good solution
[08:41] <padlefot1> ActionParsnip: yes
[08:41] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, do you maybe have an example xorg that i could look at, i guess its more to it than just add 1024x768?
[08:41] <llutz_> padlefot1: look at dovecot
[08:42] <padlefot1> llutz_: thanx :)
[08:42] <padlefot1> llutz_: found some howtos on dovecot at google
[08:42] <llutz_> padlefot1: shouldn't be hard to find one for ubuntu too
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: I can show you mine if you want. My stupid TV sets 300 x 300 dpi and some super fine res, makes the desktop unusale. let me pastebin
[08:42] <llutz_> or debian
[08:42] <ron> ActionParsnip: so I guess the list of red lines that just appeared on my monitor is a bad sign, right?
[08:43] <padlefot1> llutz_: spot on ;)
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Peppe__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/810478/
[08:43] <Peppe__> ActionParsnip, thanks alot!
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> ron: yes that's your ram being bad, if you see this: http://www.memtest.org/pics/amd64-big.gif   the ram is good, this is bad: http://www.mynetnuke.com/Portals/28/images/Articles/MemtestMNN.jpg
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> padlefot1: found this: http://lifehacker.com/5040390/turn-an-ubuntudebian-system-into-an-imap-mail-server
[08:44] <ron> ActionParsnip: joy. can I tell from the test which of my dimms is bad?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> ron: if you have bad ram, try shutting down and removing a stick, then retest
[08:45]  * ron nods
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> ron: if its still bad, shove it back in then remove a different one
[08:45] <ron> I guess no point letting it carry on with the test. waste of time.
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> ron: you get the idea ;)
[08:45] <ron> ActionParsnip: absolutely.
[08:46] <melvincv> I wonder why the memtest is really long by default???
[08:47] <llutz_> melvincv: testing takes time, memtest <12h aren't very effective
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: its infinite. You have to press ESC to stop it. It does many different tests
[08:50] <ron> ActionParsnip: wanna place a bet which is the faulty dimm? ;)
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> ron: how many you got :D
[08:51] <ron> 2 ;) good odds. 50-50 :)
[08:51] <saladino_> il gatto con gli stivali
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> could be both :(
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> mind you ram is cheap so who cars
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> cares
[08:53] <ron> maybe I'll just replace the ram for now with the ram from my other computer since I don't use it. I don't want to be stuck over the weekend without a computer.. it's my media center.. I need my media :p
[08:55] <Bogy> is anyone here?
[08:55] <phalaaxx> Bogy why not just ask? :)
[08:56] <triferema> hi
[08:56] <Bogy> hi
[08:56] <Bogy> I have a question about a boot problem
[08:56] <triferema> i have a folder that needs to owned by www-data but still allow a normal user to write to it
[08:56] <triferema> how do I go about it
[08:57] <llutz_> triferema: are you sure it needs to be owned by www-data? group-own it  www-data and make your user owner
[08:57] <Bogy> we had a power outage last night and now my ubuntu machine won't boot. I can still see the disk and directory structures when I boot from the install cd and partition magic shows a #108 error
[08:58] <gvaiou> triferema, chown www-data.users  MYFOLDER ; chmod 775 MYFOLDER
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: boot to livecD and test the partition using fsck
[08:58] <Yozap> Hey guys and girls, I have tried installing counter-strike:Source, without success under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Anyone tried this before?
[08:58] <gvaiou> if your user is in the group users, he will be able to write in it, everyone else cannot
[08:58] <ron> ActionParsnip: is there any point running the memtest with the new memory? it's of a much higher quality, never had problems with it.
[08:59] <Bogy> not sure what livecD is
[08:59] <triferema> llutz_: will this work chown -Rfv triferema:www-data yii
[08:59] <gvaiou> Bogy, it's just the ordinary ubuntu installation cd
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> ron: I'd just boot to test tbh, if its bad then memtest, could be deeper than just ram. Should be ok though
[09:00] <Bogy> ok brb
[09:00] <Bogy> thanks
[09:00] <theadmin> Yozap: Wine support in #winehq not here
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: the thing you installed the OS with,....
[09:00] <ron> ActionParsnip: *nod*
[09:00] <Bogy> brb
[09:00] <ron> ActionParsnip: I wonder if that would explain the other odd problems I've had the the computer.
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> Yozap: check the appdb, there are usually how tos
[09:00] <gulzar> I want to download virtualbox Qt GUI source. The link I got is https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends . But how to download it? It is just a browser. Or any other way to download?
[09:01] <llutz_> triferema: it should. webserver (www-data) just needs to read those dirs and write to only a few files/dirs. so its always better not to have those dirs owned by www-data
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: why not use the usual interface?
[09:01] <Bogy> can you give me an fsck command line suggestion. fsck ?????
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: have a look at:  man fsck
[09:02] <Bogy> ok
[09:02] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: I am re creating it in other language so want to study it a bit
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: there is also virtualbox-ose-qt and virtualbox-qt  in the repos...
[09:03] <triferema> llutz_, gvaiou:  thank it worked
[09:03] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: I want the source code
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: I see
[09:03] <phalaaxx> anyone familiar with SELinux under ubuntu?
[09:04] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: any way?
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: the source wil be in the repos too, you can make apt-get download it for you
[09:05] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: Ok...
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28372/how-do-i-get-the-source-code-of-packages-installed-through-apt-get
[09:06] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: Thank you..
[09:07] <skilz> I installed plymouth-text-theme but I still can see the solar theme and I have to press esc to see text
[09:07] <ron> ActionParsnip: well, for now the computer runs properly, so I'll retest the memory if something goes wrong and if it's not the memory, I may come back to bother you ;)
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> ron: sounds good though :)
[09:07] <ron> ActionParsnip: thanks for the help :) laters!
[09:09] <profesor> somebody knows the exactly date to be released the new version of ubuntu?
[09:09] <skilz> ??
[09:10] <gulzar> ActionParsnip: Thank You ..
[09:10] <ikonia> profesor: not until closer to the time as problems can make it change, it will be 04 2012 though
[09:10] <ikonia> profesor: does the exact day matter at this point ?
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: np :)
[09:10] <Nomadz> http://beforeitsnews.com/ Later
[09:10] <DJones> profesor: If tehre's no problems, 26th April according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[09:11] <P22250> CIAO
[09:11] <profesor> thank you so much
[09:13] <ron> okay fine, another question. how would I go about installing the beta release of the nvidia drivers (295.09)?
[09:14] <alumn_> ei
[09:14] <Bogy> I ran fsck /dev/hda0 1 2 and got a superblock read error
[09:14] <alumn_> me podeis da las ip
[09:14] <skilz> I installed plymouth-text-theme but I still can see the solar theme and I have to press esc to see text
[09:14] <alumn_> ?
[09:14] <skilz> ????????????????????/
[09:16] <Bogy> superblock could not be read or does not describe or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem
[09:18] <dyd> guys the xorg process is taking 40% of my cpu
[09:18] <dyd> i don't want to reboot
[09:18] <dyd> sudo killall xorg won't fix the problem
[09:18] <theadmin> dyd: You probably need to restart your display manager
[09:19] <theadmin> dyd: /etc/rc.d/?dm restart
[09:19] <theadmin> err...
[09:19] <dyd> forgot the case sensitive :)
[09:19] <theadmin> dyd: lol oh
[09:19] <theadmin> Fixed?
[09:20] <Bogy> ActionParsnip:  I ran fsck /dev/hda0 (and hda1 and hda2) and got a superblock read error
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: doesn't sound good dude, copy the exact error and use the web to see what it means
[09:21] <Bogy> I can still see the files and such from the live cd boot and would like to copy my data to my backup disk /dev/hdb/0 but can't get permission to enter the dirs
[09:22] <dyd> theadmin: yes
[09:23] <Bogy> is there a way to get the permissions I need
[09:24] <ParkerR> Bogy, try running it as root or sudo
[09:24] <Bogy> leme try that
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> bogy: why don't you have a regular backup anyway?
[09:25] <llutz_> Bogy: "sudo mkfs.ext4 -n /dev/hda1"  gives you a list where superblocks would be stored. use one of those, to feed fsck -b <block-no> with
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: if you run:  gksudo nautilus     you will have full access
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: the power outage could have damaged the drive IDE, then where is your data/?
[09:26] <Bogy> I did a complete backup 5 days ago
[09:26] <Bogy> but I have a lot of new stuff I would like to save before I reload
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> sweet, should be good to go then
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> in 5 days, yikes. I'd change your backup regime if your data changes that much
[09:26] <Bogy> su asks for a password which I don't have
[09:27] <Bogy> and I can see the directories etc. I just can't copyi them to my backup disk
[09:28] <Bogy> do I run the gksudo nautilus from a termianl?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Bogy: yes, or ALT+F2
[09:29] <ghw> hi
[09:29] <Bogy> hey taht seems to work
[09:30] <Bogy> let me get back to you and thanks for this much.

[09:35] <urlin2u> ghw, what is your irc hist?
[09:35] <ron> hmm.. I had to stop x server to install the nvidia drivers, and after a reboot it doesn't start it... what did I break this time? :p
[09:36] <urlin2u> host*
[09:36] <MonkeyDust> ghw  depends on the irc client you are using
[09:36] <pnorman> ghw: look for ignoring parts and joins, but it'll depend on your client
[09:37] <Pseudoephedrine> How do i remove Ubuntu from bootloader on my old system?
[09:37] <urlin2u> Pseudoephedrine, what OS'S do you have?
[09:37] <harleystraz> Im trying to mount a internel ide drive and when i try to mount it i get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[09:37] <harleystraz> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /"
[09:37] <ron> ActionParsnip: please, be my savior again ;)
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> sup
[09:38] <Pseudoephedrine> urlin2u: Ubuntu11.10 and Windows Vista
[09:38] <ghw> i use xchar for windows
[09:38] <ron> ActionParsnip: installed the beta nvidia drivers in hopes to solve a different issue. it told me to stop x server, so I did. now after a reboot, x server doesn't seem to start. I see lovely text on my TV, no prompt.
[09:39] <undecim> harleystraz: then /dev/sdb1 is your root partition
[09:39] <ghw> i use xchat for windows
[09:39] <ron> ActionParsnip: wonder what I broke this time :)
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> ron:  how did you install the driver?
[09:39] <urlin2u> Pseudoephedrine, you want another bootloader or remove kernels or a older ubuntu?
[09:39] <harleystraz> okay. so how do i mount the drive so i can access the files on it. Ubuntu is installed on my sata drive
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> harleystraz: you mout partitions, not drives
[09:40] <undecim> harleystraz: then your sata drive is sdb. Try mounting /dev/sda1
[09:40] <ron> ActionParsnip: downloading and running ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.09.run
[09:40] <undecim> harleystraz: Or better yet, if you're on stock ubuntu, just go click on the drive in your file browser
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> harleystraz: there is a PPA with that driver, it will gel better with your OS
[09:40] <Pseudoephedrine> urlin2u: I want to completely remove Ubuntu11.10 from the system, and leave only Windows Vista
[09:41]  * melvincv is now using Chatzilla.
[09:41] <urlin2u> Pseudoephedrine, you have a vista recovery or install disc?
[09:41] <harleystraz> It doesnt show up in my file browser. it only shows up in the disk utility
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> ron: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[09:42] <Pseudoephedrine> urlin2u: I have Lenovo recovery button, all i used to do was press the button while it was turned off and it would boot into recovery, but now it takes me to the boot menu for Ubuntu or Windows
[09:43] <urlin2u> Pseudoephedrine, to just have vista you have to reload the MS bootloader with a vista install or recovery disc in repair with this command bootrec.exe /fixmbr  then make sure vista boots straight in them delete ubuntu.
[09:43] <urlin2u> then*
[09:43] <ron> ActionParsnip: that's awesome! what do I do with it? :p
[09:44] <Pseudoephedrine> urlin2u: Ok, i will try it now. thanls
[09:44] <Pseudoephedrine> thanks*
[09:44] <urlin2u> Pseudoephedrine, no problem.:D
[09:44] <harleystraz> so...how do i mount the volume?
[09:45] <undecim> harleystraz: try mounting it as /dev/sda1
[09:45] <harleystraz> I dont know how to do a manual mount in ubuntu
[09:46] <undecim> harleystraz: Go to a terminal, and use "sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1" to make a folder for it, then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1" to mount it
[09:47] <Pseudoephedrine> urlin2u: If i format my whole computer, will it remove Ubuntu?
[09:48] <jatt> yes
[09:48] <Pseudoephedrine> jatt: was that to me?
[09:48] <jatt> yes
[09:48] <Pseudoephedrine> ok.
[09:48] <harleystraz> Thank you sososo much.
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> ron: add the PPA and update. Its rare to actually go to nvidia's site
[09:49] <AdvoWork> dont suppose anyone knows anything available that could help detect hard or soft bounces from email headers?
[09:49] <harleystraz> On another issue that has just come up. im getting static at random times true the sound. It only happens with ubuntu
[09:50] <ron> ActionParsnip: I don't get any updates on the nvidia driver with it though.
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> ron:  run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[09:51] <hellfire> I desperately need help, I installed ubuntu on my laptop and it just wont boot
[09:51] <hellfire> it goes to this grub loader menu
[09:51] <llutz_> AdvoWork: there is Bouncestudio, but it isn't free
[09:52] <Bogy> llutz: I did the gksudo nautilus thing again and it got me into my file system  thanks
[09:52] <rigved> hellfire: do you see a blank screen after the grub menu?
[09:52] <hellfire> rigved: yes
[09:53] <rigved> !nomodeset | hellfire
[09:54] <rigved> hellfire: basically, when you reach the grub menu, press tab or e (which ever it is) to edit the menu entry. add "nomodeset" (without quotes) at the end of the line and press enter.
[09:55] <ron> ActionParsnip: it tells me I already have the latest version installed.
[09:58] <hellfire> rigved: I have been looking over that stuff and tried. I tried setting that mode when I installed and the same thing happened
[09:58] <hellfire> rigved: Can you please help me a little more? I am very new to this
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> ron: tell it to reinstall the package then, may help
[09:58] <msterbrewer> i have the latest version of ubuntu on a dual boot machine
[09:58] <ron> ActionParsnip: I tried removing it and reinstall it, but it seems to get the latest stable release, not the beta one.
[09:59] <msterbrewer> my windows stopped working so i only use ubuntu
[09:59] <msterbrewer> how do i find out how much memory is free on the windows partion
[09:59] <Bogy> llutz: oops again    I got in    but still lack permissions to read
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> ron: no bad thing, how is it?
[09:59] <rigved> hellfire: sure. what happens when you use the nomodeset parameter?
[09:59] <msterbrewer> if i go to system settings it only tells me of thelinux partion
[09:59] <ron> ActionParsnip: no, but I do have a problem related to the video driver and it was suggested the the latest beta may help.
[10:00] <hellfire> rigved: black blinking screen. If i restart the computer q lot and manage to get past the live cd screen and install with the nomodeset on then ultimately it winds up at the black blinking screen. I know it has something to do with my graphics card
[10:01] <rigved> hellfire: which graphics card do you have?
[10:01] <owenll> msterbrewer: gparted should help you to view and manage all partitions
[10:01] <hellfire> rigved: not sure, how do I find out?
[10:02] <hellfire> rigved: it's a newer asus laptop. got it for christmas
[10:02] <suppl> i've got some strange problems with unity, if you guys could help me?
[10:03] <rigved> hellfire: type this in the terminal: lspci -v | grep -i vga
[10:03] <suppl> i changed the wallpaper and the bar is still "colored" like the old wallpaper... also, the dash doesnt want appear when i use firefox
[10:03] <suppl> want to*
[10:04] <suppl> not just firefox, anything that's in fullscreen
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> suppl: what hide option do you have on Unity?
[10:04] <hellfire> rigved: I got it to boot...I didn't press ctrl-x when i edited grub
[10:04] <suppl> i dont have anything ActionParsnip
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> suppl: you will have something set, the default install sets something. Check in ccsm what the hide setting is and try the different settings
[10:05] <hellfire> rigved: thank you a lot though
[10:05] <rigved> hellfire: oh. ok. so you wrote nomodeset at the grub menu and then booted using Ctrl+X.
[10:06] <rigved> hellfire: you are welcome. sorry my mistake earlier. I told you to press Enter instead of Ctrl+X.
[10:06] <suppl> ActionParsnip, ok, will try. thanks
[10:06] <suppl> i didnt use ccsm at all, ever
[10:07] <Bogy> Anyone know how I can become su in the livecd trial option?
[10:07] <jrib> !sudo | Bogy
[10:08] <skilz> I installed plymouth-text-theme but I still can see the solar theme and I have to press esc to see text???????
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> suppl: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[10:08] <suppl> hmm i enabled "blur windows" for fun and now it reloaded unity completely (everythings working)
[10:09] <skilz> I'm trying to remove the graphical boot, I've edited /etc/default/grub and I installed plymouth-text-theme but I still can see the solar theme and I have to press esc to see text???????
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> skilz: run:   sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[10:09] <suppl> ActionParsnip, yes, i have it installed. For some reason some weird session is being loaded.
[10:09] <suppl> i guess ill have to reset it each time
[10:10] <skilz> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[10:10] <Bogy> ubottu: I did a gksudo nautilus and I still can't drag and drop my files to my backup drive
[10:10] <jrib> !plymouth | skilz
[10:11] <skilz> so I have to do this also: sudo update-initramfs -u
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> skilz: can't hurt
[10:12] <skilz> cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda7
[10:12] <skilz> whats that mean?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> skilz: not sure, should be ok thouogh
[10:13] <ix_> shouldn't the verbose option work for text boot?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> may help http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1825712.html
[10:14] <hellfire> rigved: ok so here is another problem now, i just rebooted and now my computer is stuck on a blank purple screen
[10:15] <rigved> hellfire: you will have to enter the nomodeset parameter everytime that you boot. this is because whatever changes you make in grub are not saved. they only apply to the current boot cycle.
[10:16] <hellfire> rigved: thanks
[10:16] <mrd_> #gay
[10:16] <spacebug-> you have to type /join before that mrd_
[10:17] <rigved> hellfire: which graphics card do you have?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: or log in to Unity2D session...
[10:17] <rigved> hellfire: once you boot, run this command in the terminal: lspci | grep -i vga
[10:17] <rigved> hellfire: it will tell you which graphics card you have.
[10:18] <rigved> hellfire: then, you can move ahead to find a permenant solution.
[10:19] <hellfire> rigved: alright i will do that here in a min. the nomodest isn't doing anything this time
[10:19] <ron> ActionParsnip: well, X is working again, but my original problem still isn't solved. I'd really like to try with the beta drivers. any suggestions how to do that?
[10:19] <hellfire> rigved: i am just getting the blinking screen again
[10:20] <rigved> hellfire: so, you entered nomodeset at grub and booted (using Ctrl-X), right?
[10:20] <hellfire> rigved: correct
[10:20] <hellfire> rigved: before it worked, now it doesn't
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> ron: no idea. I'd stick with the stable.
[10:20] <ron> ActionParsnip: okay, thanks :)
[10:20] <rigved> hellfire: try again. this time do a cold start. shutdown computer. then after 10s start it and use nomodeset.
[10:21] <hellfire> rigved: alrighty, stand by
[10:24] <hellfire> rigved: nothing happened again
[10:25] <hellfire> rigved: OH WAIT the guys screenshot has a typing error. let me retry
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: does the system have a make and model?
[10:25] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: ASus
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: asus make about 400 different systems...
[10:26] <kandinski> when you encrypt a partition with Disk Utility, what difference is there with a Truecrypt encryption_
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: which model?
[10:26] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: U46E
[10:26] <rigved> hellfire: oh ya. i see it. it's "nomodeset", that is literally "no mode set".
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: its some intel thing, you may need the nomodeset option tll you get fully updated
[10:27] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: the system wont boot with nomodeset now though
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: which release did you install?
[10:28] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: the most current
[10:28] <butti> hello
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: what codename did you install though?
[10:29] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: I am not sure? I am new to this.
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: was it from ubuntu.com ?
[10:29] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: probably Oneiric then.
[10:29] <hellfire> Yes thats it
[10:29] <rigved> ActionParsnip: maybe hellfire can get into init 1 and find out which graphics card and release he has. maybe something from there can be done. just a suggestion.
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: I suggest you get a wired connection and get fully updated in a root recovery console (with networking)
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> rigved: I just checked the Asus website
[10:31] <sriram_123> hi
[10:31] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: should i continue a normal boot or what
[10:31] <sriram_123> why is ubuntu often called the most unstable version in  whole of linux
[10:32] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: i chose the recovery mode
[10:32] <list> i am right now by installation of ubuntu system on my machine. im doing that from usb. error on boot: unknown keyword in configuration file. boot:
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> hellfire: get a wired connection, boot to recovery mode then select netroot
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: that is offtopic here
[10:32] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: I am not given the option
[10:32] <sriram_123> ok
[10:33] <rigved> ActionParsnip: and does it list any problems with Ubuntu? maybe Ubuntu friendly has hellfire laptop's specs? if it's a nvidia problem, hellfire might need the nvidia-current blob.
[10:33] <sriram_123> what is the best version of linux acc to you
[10:33] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: I see root as an option
[10:33] <melvincv> sriram_123: where did you get that info?
[10:34] <sriram_123> some of my seniors in using ubuntu
[10:34] <sriram_123> actually i am a newbie but an aspiring linux enthusiast
[10:34] <melvincv> sriram_123: Did you face any issues with Ubuntu?
[10:35] <hellfire> ActionParsnip: Hello? Are you there?
[10:35] <rigved> hellfire: yes. choose the root option.
[10:35] <hellfire> rigved: ok
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: for me, xpud but it suits my needs well.
[10:36] <rigved> hellfire: did you get the # promt?
[10:36] <hellfire> rigved: yes
[10:36] <rigved> hellfire: type ifconfig
[10:36] <sriram_123> some of my friends told me about banshee not working
[10:36] <hellfire> rigved: done
[10:37] <rigved> hellfire: what do you see in the output? do you see a eth entry?
[10:37] <hellfire> rigved: nothing
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: tried rhythmnbox?
[10:38] <sriram_123> rythmbox is a good alternate
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> or deadbeef :)
[10:38] <sriram_123> as such even my data card doesnt work
[10:38] <sriram_123> seems to be an error with the dpkg-i stuff not able to real archives
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: what data card?
[10:38] <sriram_123> netword data card
[10:38] <sriram_123> *network
[10:39] <hellfire> rigved: them command was entered and no response was given, just another blank life of # for me to type on
[10:39] <sriram_123> for the internet
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: what network does it connect to?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: 3G Wifi?
[10:39] <sriram_123> yes
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> which?
[10:39] <rigved> hellfire: one moment.
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: its either 3G or wifi....
[10:40] <rigved> hellfire: have you plugged in a network cable?
[10:40] <hellfire> rigved: yes, but let me try doing it somewhere else
[10:40] <rigved> hellfire: wait.
[10:40] <sriram_123> its wifi basically
[10:40] <sriram_123> ActionParsnip: its wifi
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: then why not say "It's not picking up my wifi card" instead of network data card which could mean loads of things
[10:41] <rigved> hellfire: type ifconfig eth0 up
[10:41] <rigved> hellfire: then type sudo dhclient eth0
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> sriram_123: how does it connect to the system?
[10:42] <Joost> Hi guys. I'm using Backtrack (an Ubuntu-based distro) and was wondering if any of you could help me out
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Joost: ask in #backtrack-linux
[10:42] <Joost> ah, thanks
[10:42] <Joost> I checked #backtrack but it was empty
[10:43] <CaptAnon> Hey people, Is it possible to open A program in any tty except tty7?
[10:43] <noodlespo> rigved: ok i lost connection
[10:43] <noodlespo> rigved: i got a big response
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> CaptAnon: sure, you can drop to tty1 and run nano without any problem
[10:45] <rigved> noodlespo: hellfire?
[10:45] <noodlespo> rigved: now it wont even complete booting into recovery mode
[10:45] <noodlespo> rigved: sorry, yes
[10:46] <rigved> noodlespo: when you reach the grub menu, instead of typing nomodeset, type "init 1" without quotes.
[10:46] <noodlespo> rigved: stand by
[10:47] <noodlespo> rigved: same response, blinking screen
[10:47] <CaptAnon> I was thinking a little bit more then nano, ActionParsnip
[10:47] <CaptAnon> But thanks anyway
[10:47] <CaptAnon> Like a regular program like firefox and such
[10:48] <rigved> noodlespo: ok. one last try. use nomodeset at the recovery entry. then choose root shell.
[10:49] <noodlespo> rigved: stand by

[10:50] <IVOOO> HEFFELINI\
[10:50] <noodlespo> rigved: did you mention earlier there was a more updated version out that wasn't official or something? maybe just trying a beta version will work better
[10:51] <butti> hiw much space should i add for root partition if i want to have dual system and work with vm?
[10:51] <rigved> noodlespo: you are using 11.10 (oneiric), right? the latest one available on ubuntu.com.
[10:51] <imi> hello
[10:51] <imi> how can I list installed locales?
[10:52] <noodlespo> rigved: yes.
[10:52] <rigved> noodlespo: the next version is Ubuntu 12.04. it is currently in alpha state and scheduled to be released in April 2012.
[10:53] <noodlespo> rigved: is there a beta release for it? does it fix my issue?
[10:53] <hubx> hi, how do I install a package with apt-get without installing its dependencies?
[10:53] <rigved> noodlespo: i am using 12.04 and it is stable. but since you are new to linux, i would suggest that you stick to the 11.10 release.
[10:53] <hubx> I want to install vim-rails with depends on ruby1.8 but i need ruby1.9
[10:53] <noodlespo> rigved: could I please have a link to at least try it?
[10:53] <rigved> noodlespo: your problem can be fixed if we know what hardware you have.
[10:54] <noodlespo> rigved: the OS won't boot into recovery mood anymore, why would this be?
[10:55] <rigved> noodlespo: well, your screen is blank. this indicates a graphics problem. do you have any other OS installed on the said machine?
[10:55] <rigved> noodlespo: installing 12.04 should be your last option.
[10:56] <noodlespo> rigved: uhm, I tried to do a clean install but in grub it for some reason gives me an option for a later version of linux that is installed (ubuntu)
[10:56] <rigved> noodlespo: there is an alternate CD available for Ubuntu 11.10. this can be used to diagnose problems.
[10:56] <Guest43411> guys I want to know If I have a x64 iso of ubuntu desktop
[10:56] <Guest43411> will it work with any computer
[10:56] <Guest43411> or will it work only with a x64 motherboard?
[10:57] <rigved> lanceo: you need a x64 CPU.
[10:58] <lanceo> rigved do you mind telling me how do I find out whether I have an x64 or x86 computer?
[10:58] <phalaaxx> lanceo, uname -m maybe?
[10:58] <ponrajuganesh> I am not able to install any app using apt-get install command nor the synpatic package manager. It says some repository not found what could be the problem
[10:59] <ponrajuganesh> could any one please help solving it
[11:00] <rigved> noodlespo: which laptop did you say you have? you should download and use the 11.10 Alternate CD for installation. download from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/
[11:00] <ponrajuganesh> when given apt-get update I am facing the same problem, at one stage it says tat the repository 404 not found. Should we change any of these
[11:00] <rigved> lanceo: which OS do you have installed currently?
[11:02] <LjL> hubx: you can't
[11:02] <ponrajuganesh> could any one figure out what could be the possible problem.
[11:03] <hubx> LjL, wtf? so dependecy are alway figured out correcly?
[11:03] <hubx> *-ies
[11:03] <ikonia> !wtf > hubx
[11:04] <LjL> hubx: if a package depends on [a given version of] another package, it better really need it. if it doesn't, that's a packaging bug. you can always (at your risk) modify the package manually to depend on other stuff.
[11:05] <zeref> hi guys, i've setup internet connection sharing through my debian box to my ubuntu box, but there is no connection on my ubuntu box
[11:05] <triferema> i am looking c++ library language, there is one 'encursers', but i can not seem to get something
[11:05] <zeref> if i plug in a win box it works
[11:05] <jatt> wot?
[11:06] <hubx> LjL, yes I could. But as I don't know how Ubuntu packing works it is 10x harder than provide a convenient way as --ignore-dep dependency
[11:07] <ikonia> why would you want to ignore a dependency
[11:07] <ikonia> the phrase "dependency" meants it depends/needs it
[11:07] <LjL> hubx: and then we'd have tons of people complaining about their broken packages ;) anyway, what version of Ubuntu are you on and what vim-rails are you trying to install?
[11:09] <Ludo___> i changed the time of server using date functionality but on rebooting server it again retains its actual time ,i want to change the time for temporary ,how would i accomplish my task
[11:09] <ikonia> Ludo___: you are changing it temporary, just don't reboot
[11:10] <Ludo___> ikonia: i want to change it permanently so that when i reboot my date time should be what i have set by myself
[11:10] <hubx> LjL, 11.10, vim-rails is basically a vim-plugin which doesn't depend on a specific ruby version... but depends on ruby1.8 which is not ok with the latest rails 3.x
[11:10] <Ludo___> ikonia::- please help me to do this
[11:10] <hubx> but thanks for your help :), installed it mannually now
[11:10] <wooter> Ludo___: change the time in the bios
[11:11] <ikonia> Ludo___: you just said you wanted to change it temporary, not perm
[11:11] <lanceo> rigved right now im using ubuntu
[11:11] <lanceo> but I want to install x64 on another computer
[11:11] <Ludo___> wooter :- but how ,sorry i didnt know
[11:11] <lanceo> no wait
[11:11] <lanceo> I want to install it in this computer
[11:11] <LjL> hubx: what depends on ruby1.8 exactly? because http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/vim-rails has no such dependency, i guess it's comes from one of its other dependencies?
[11:12] <Ludo___> ikonia read it again i said i want to set it permanently but using date functionality it is setting temperorily
[11:12] <ikonia> the easy way is to change the bios clock as suggested
[11:12] <lanceo> I can install a x86 operating system on a x64 platform right?
[11:13] <Ludo___> ikonia:- ok how? what command i should use to do that
[11:13] <lanceo> mostly i'll use i386
[11:13] <lanceo> is that ok?
[11:13] <ikonia> Ludo___: you do it in the bios, not ubuntu
[11:13] <bal_> I wants to install phonatical key board for indian languages how can i do that ?
[11:13] <zeref> hi guys, i've setup internet connection sharing through my debian box to my ubuntu box, but there is no connection on my ubuntu box
[11:13] <melvincv> I see that Empathy 3.2 in Oneiric does not allow me to edit custom messages in my status? Till Natty there was no issue with that... How do I solve this?
[11:13] <zeref> but there is connecitons if i plug in a win machine
[11:13] <ikonia> zeref: what gateway is the ubuntu using
[11:13] <zeref> 10.42.43.1
[11:13] <LjL> Ludo___: sudo hwclock -w
[11:14] <ikonia> zeref: what is the ubuntu machines ip address
[11:14] <mndo> hi
[11:14] <bal_> i installed scims but not foud phontical key board
[11:14] <mndo> i am trying to backport from precise mysql-5.5,but when building it fails because of some dependencies
[11:14] <zeref> ikonia: am i supposed to assign it one?
[11:14] <ikonia> zeref: errr how else do you expect it to be on the network ?
[11:14] <mndo> then i backport the dependencies to the same ppa,but the build still fails
[11:14] <mndo> any ideas on how to solve this?
[11:15] <zeref> thing is when i connect the win machine it auto does it
[11:15]  * butti  is installing system and need help for partition label
[11:15] <ikonia> zeref: ok so the ubuntu machine should also get one, so what is the ip address of the ubuntu machine
[11:15] <Ludo___> LjL:what will it do
[11:15] <LjL> Ludo___: "man hwclock" will tell you
[11:16] <Ludo___> LjL .thank u
[11:16] <bal_> how to put inidan languge with ubuntu ?
[11:16] <carl_> lu
[11:16] <zeref> ikonia, k, i've give it one in the same subnet as the gateway
[11:16] <ikonia> zeref: what is the current IP address
[11:17] <zeref> ikonia: 10.42.43.99
[11:17] <bal_> how to put malayalam in my ubuntu?
[11:17] <ikonia> zeref: is that the one you gave it, or the one it got on it's own
[11:18] <zeref> i gave it, it does not give me one when i connect
[11:18] <ikonia> zeref: ok, so there is your real problem, your ubuntu machine is not getting an IP address from dhcp
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> CaptAnon: nano is a regular program....
[11:18] <ikonia> zeref: however I find that hard to believe, if it's getting the gateway on its own, it should get an IP address too
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> CaptAnon: I believe you can use CTRL+ALT+F6 too afaik
[11:19] <zeref> ok, should i use the interfaces file, or network manager?
[11:19] <ikonia> zeref: if I where you I would not touch the interfaces file (leave it default) and just use network manager
[11:19] <bal_> is there any  methode to instll keyman in ubuntu
[11:20] <zeref> ikonia: so in the manager, do i have to set any settings in auto eth0?
[11:21] <ikonia> zeref: shouldn't need to, no
[11:21] <bal_> how to use key man in linux
[11:22] <zeref> ikona: k just restarting
[11:22] <bal_> how to start sicm in ubuntu
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> !info keyman
[11:23] <LjL> bal_: Ubuntu uses ibus now by default. go into the Language settings and enable your language
[11:23] <bal_> ActionParsniphttps://sites.google.com/site/cibu/linux
[11:23] <zeref> ikonia: still nothing :-(
[11:24] <ikonia> zeref: did you make sure the interfaces file was default
[11:24] <bal_>  language i don that but i need phonatical key maping
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> bal_: some debs here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmfl/files/kmfl/kmfl-0.9%20deb/      those instructions don't look too bad
[11:24] <bal_> LjL: phonatical key pad is it avileble
[11:25] <LjL> bal_: maybe it would be better if you went to the channel for your language. what is your language?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> bal_: hasn't been updated since 2006, I wouldn't bother. Seems like a dead project
[11:25] <bal_> ActionParsnip:  ya
[11:25] <bal_> LjL: malaylam
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> bal_: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmfl/files/kmfl/0.9.9/   has 2010 files but you'll be compiling. Its still quite old
[11:26] <zeref> ikonia: nothing....
[11:27] <LjL> bal_: there is #ubuntu-in, they speak english there, but maybe they know better about making Indian languages work
[11:27] <CaptAnon> ActionParsnip
[11:27] <ikonia> zeref: then you either have a problem with your ubuntu machine not being on the correct dhcp network, or your dhcp server is not offering it an IP address
[11:27] <bal_> LjL: thank you i may try there

[11:41] <royh> jdc4: don't ask to ask. just ask :)
[11:42] <jdc4> well ive been getting "package operation failed" whenever i try to update or install something, it installs but yeah i just keep getting this error. in the details: it mentions dpkg having errors processing couchdb-bin, desktopcouch, and desktopcouch-ubuntuone
[11:42] <jdc4> any idea whats wrong and how to fix it?
[11:43] <ponrajuganesh> here is the issue I am facing could any one pls get me a solution for this http://paste.ubuntu.com/810599/

[11:46] <LjL> MK`: Linux has mostly no concept of file extensions
[11:46] <melvincv> jdc4: Try disabling the extra features in Ubuntu One, or removing the package desktopcouch-ubuntuone
[11:46] <LjL> MK`: what do you want to achieve exactly?
[11:46] <jdc4> ok one sec
[11:46] <MK`> I am moreso asking, I use a terminal command to run a program, but that command didn't work when I tried to make an application launcher in the panel
[11:47] <LjL> MK`: is the command's file executable? "ls -l filename" will tell you. it should have an x.
[11:47] <melvincv> jdc4: also try to paste the exact error that dpkg give you...

[11:47] <MK`> Ljl: the command is "XMODIFIERS= java -Xmx512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame"
[11:49] <LjL> MK`: i know nothing about panel launchers, but you can try putting that command into a file, making the first line of it "#!/bin/bash" and making it executable (chmod +x filename). then create a launcher for that file.

[11:53] <LjL> jdc4: does the file /etc/passwd.lock exist?
[11:54] <ikonia> LjL: normally /etc/passwd~ not .lock
[11:54] <ikonia> same for groups
[11:54] <ikonia> lsof /etc/passwd
[11:54] <ikonia> see what's using it / stopping it getting a lock
[11:55] <ikonia> probably can't get a lock as the user already exists
[11:55] <LjL> ikonia: uhm, vipwd creates an /etc/passwd.lock here
[11:55] <ikonia> LjL: never used vipwd, so don't know if that is vipwd specific
[11:55] <LjL> ikonia: vipw*
[11:56] <ikonia> same
[11:56] <ikonia> never use it, so don't know
[11:56] <jdc4> LjL: yes i see my etc/passwd.lock file
[11:56] <llutz_> adac: remove  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[11:56] <LjL> jdc4: do what ikonia said, "lsof /etc/passwd", does it return anything?
[11:56] <llutz_> adac: or edit the MAC-adr in that file
[11:56] <adac> llutz, edit liek how?
[11:56] <adac> like
[11:57] <llutz_> adac: check if the MAC in the file equals your  eth0-MAC
[11:57] <jdc4> LjL: heres what it returns: http://paste.ubuntu.com/810610/
[11:58] <ikonia> I see win
[11:58] <adac> llutz, ok. this is a virtualbox guest, so i guess I just have to add the eth0 mac to the settings of the guest system

[12:02] <LjL> jdc4: ok. well, if it were my system, honestly, i'd just try removing the lock, but i can't guarantee that won't cause issues.
[12:02] <ponrajuganesh> LjL this is what I get "W: GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AAFF4A5B336064B5 "
[12:02] <UbuntuNeedHelp> LjL: http://pastebin.com/hv63KBNV thanks for helping
[12:03] <LjL> jdc4: to be safe, you should shutdown GNOME and see if the lock is still there. if it is, remove it (remove /etc/passwd.lock and /etc/passwd~). then dpkg again.

[12:11] <go8765_> Gentoo64, i use dial-up

[12:12] <ponrajuganesh> not sure what happened there LjL
[12:12] <Gentoo64> go8765_: you could leave wireshark on, or run the command ss

[12:14] <LjL> jdc4_: what are you typing exactly?
[12:14] <meerkats> I just updated kernel to 3.0.0-15 generic, I am using not Unity, but the fallback version in 11.10. In the bottom status bar I should see markers for the windows I am using atm, but I dont see any,
[12:14] <freedvd> i added the package sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc but now sudo apt-get update fails; how can i remove it?
[12:14] <jdc4_> "remove /etc/passwd.lock"
[12:14] <meerkats> there is just an empty bar,
[12:14] <LjL> jdc4_: it's "rm /etc/passwd.lock"
[12:14] <LjL> freedvd: remove the relevant file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[12:15] <jdc4_> LjL: ah sorry im kind of a noob at linux, thanks
[12:15] <freedvd> LjL: thanks
[12:16] <meerkats> while using fallback, how do I activate unity?
[12:16] <LjL> meerkats: i doubt that's possible without causing a mess... you should logout and in again from unity
[12:17] <mfaroukg> my laptop is very hot, what to do ???
[12:17] <freedvd> in which ppa package can i find XBMC player?
[12:17] <meerkats> LjL, will the password screen allow me to choose?
[12:17] <LjL> meerkats: yes, there is a button to select the kind of session you want (unless you actually removed unity)
[12:17] <mfaroukg> my mouse freezes, what to do?
[12:21] <LjL> freedvd: https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable has packages for up to Oneiric but, as the name says, it's an unstable version
[12:22] <ponrajuganesh> thanks a lot LjL it is working perfectly fine :)
[12:22] <LjL> mfaroukg: have you checked with lm-sensors whether the fan is running?
[12:22] <freedvd> LjL: so i'd better compile it myself?
[12:22] <ponrajuganesh> update successfully . what was the problem I did face actually LjL?
[12:22] <LjL> freedvd: i wouldn't know, i don't use it. i'd personally try with that "unstable" version first, but that's just me
[12:22] <mfaroukg> LjL; yes but I used the psensor instead
[12:22] <jdc4_> LjL: shit i think i did something bad. im getting "sudo: unknown uid: 1000"
[12:23] <LjL> ponrajuganesh: i don't know, you had some repository mirrors i never heard about before, but no idea *why* you had them
[12:23] <LjL> jdc4_: (language please) are you in GNOME now?
[12:23] <mfaroukg> LjL; my fan is continuously running and was cooler on the win7
[12:23] <jdc4_> LjL: my apologies. yes.
[12:24] <ponrajuganesh> reckon since the company had some internal repository mirrors when I got my lap configured I got it only like that LjL
[12:24] <mfaroukg> LjL; seems some loop in the Kernel !!
[12:24] <LjL> jdc4_: pastebin your /etc/passwd if you don't have any sensitive information there (it doesn't actually contain passwords, those are in /etc/shadow, just usernames)
[12:24] <LjL> ponrajuganesh: maybe those mirrors aren't up anymore. better to use the official mirrors i think
[12:25] <ponrajuganesh> fine LjL thanks a lot for your help
[12:25] <mfaroukg> LjL; surfing through some bugs about that but they are old
[12:25] <jdc4_> LjL: i accidentally removed it. i thought you meant to remove all files with passwd in it. my bad.
[12:26] <LjL> jdc4_: whoops, no! only passwd.lock and passwd~ :(
[12:26] <jdc4_> LjL: yikes! am i in big trouble?
[12:26] <LjL> jdc4_: i think so. do you happen to have an "/etc/passwd-" file?
[12:27] <LjL> jdc4_: also i reckon you can't access root now?
[12:28] <UbuntuNeedHelp> LjL: thanks alot !!!!!
[12:28] <LjL> jdc4_: by the way, don't reboot or logout for any reason now

[12:29] <meerkats> ?
[12:30] <meerkats> anyhow, In GNOME I dont see a bottom status bar, is that normal?
[12:30] <LjL> meerkats: the Unity session, it was my impression they called it "Ubuntu" in the login manager
[12:30] <LjL> meerkats: it's normal both in Unity and in GNOME-Shell i think
[12:30] <UbuntuNeedHelp> LjL: more one question please
[12:30] <phibxr> meerkats: do you have a panel to the left? if so, you are using unity, and then it's normal.

[12:30] <meerkats> LjL, I havent read any entry with that name
[12:30] <UbuntuNeedHelp> ??
[12:31] <LjL> meerkats: Unity has a sidebar instead, and GNOME-Shell, if my memory doesn't fail me, simply allows you to switch windows by moving the mouse to the top left corner, or something like that
[12:31] <meerkats> crap, where did the minimize button go?
[12:32] <LjL> UbuntuNeedHelp: i don't know what mms is
[12:32] <LjL> meerkats: there is no minimize button in GNOME-Shell
[12:32] <phibxr> meerkats: sounds like you're running gnome-shell if you've only got a close button.

[12:34] <phibxr> meerkats: press your super/windows/meta-button.
[12:34] <LjL> meerkats: or Alt+F1
[12:35] <LjL> meerkats: there is a cheat sheet at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
[12:35] <meerkats> thx
[12:35] <ale1600> ciaooooooooooo

[12:36] <mfaroukg> how to solve the touchpad freezing ?
[12:36] <TheRandom> Hi, having an issue in terminal, whenever I type sudo x (where x is any command) it goes to a new line, but doesn't then respond. CTRL+C doesn't break it. All other commands run fine.
[12:36] <TheRandom> It doesn't prompt for password either.
[12:37] <LjL> TheRandom: did you perchance change your machine's hostname?
[12:37] <TheRandom> LjL, not knowingly?
[12:38] <LjL> TheRandom: well let's see anyway, check if /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname match
[12:38] <TheRandom> hosts gives 127.0.0.1 localhost
[12:38] <TheRandom> hostname gives ubuntu
[12:39] <LjL> TheRandom: only localhost in /etc/hosts? there isn't a second line saying something else (like ubuntu)?
[12:39] <TheRandom> 2 secs, let me paste bin
[12:39] <TheRandom> yeah sorry
[12:39] <TheRandom> 127.0.1.1 ubuntu
[12:39] <TheRandom> and then some lines about IPv6
[12:39] <LjL> TheRandom: uhm then that's apparently not the problem.
[12:39] <LjL> TheRandom: try giving "sudo -k"
[12:40] <LjL> TheRandom: does it return?
[12:40] <TheRandom> Nothing
[12:40] <TheRandom> it goes to new line
[12:40] <TheRandom> and now i can't break out of it
[12:40] <meerkats> about the windows super/mega/button, or however it is called, I want to replace it with a linux or ubuntu sticker of that same size, where do I get those?
[12:40] <meerkats> or
[12:40] <TheRandom> i can type all I like, but terminal won't respond to anything.
[12:40] <meerkats> Id like to get rid of the windows logo
[12:41] <phibxr> meerkats: I think Canonical sells stickers with the Ubuntu-logo. A big sheet with lots of stickers, two of them for the superbutton.
[12:41] <petsounds> meerkats: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=16
[12:41] <phibxr> meerkats: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=718
[12:42] <phibxr> meerkats: I could be wrong about the size though. Never bought them myself.
[12:42] <mfaroukg> no use here :(
[12:42] <TheRandom> LjL, any bright ideas?
[12:42] <hero_> hi
[12:42] <LjL> TheRandom: not particularly. but try "strace sudo -k" and pastebin the output, i'll see if i can make heads or tails of it
[12:43] <TheRandom> Two seconds, seperate machine.
[12:43] <meerkats> has any of you ever erased a key with any chemical product?
[12:43] <TheRandom> meerkats, get a sticker printed or something.
[12:44] <LjL> meerkats: this is veering a bit offtopic, i suggest you ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:44] <petsounds> meerkats: no get real.
[12:44] <mydogsnameisrudy> i have a 4inch grinder you can use
[12:46] <TheRandom> LjL, are there any important lines? My wireless is being intermittant.
[12:46] <ajin1> hi,there
[12:46] <LjL> TheRandom: no, i wasn't looking for anything in particular, just wanted to see at which point it would lock up...
[12:47] <TheRandom> Sure, found a pen drive.
[12:48] <phibxr> TheRandom: just checking, did you try this with another terminal emulator? does alt+f2 and running "gksudo gedit" or something work for you?
[12:48] <TheRandom> LjL: http://pastebin.com/iTaE4VTT
[12:49] <LjL> TheRandom: wait, there is "tom@ubuntu:~$" at the end, does that mean it exited this time?
[12:49] <TheRandom> phibxr, alt+f2 brings up the "run a command"
[12:49] <TheRandom> LjL, it did exit after running strace sudo -k
[12:49] <TheRandom> yes
[12:49] <TheRandom> but then running sudo -k fails
[12:50] <LjL> TheRandom: wonderful, heisenbug :|
[12:50] <TheRandom> :P
[12:50] <TheRandom> As a physicist this appeals to me.
[12:50] <LjL> TheRandom: but it says something interesting nonetheless
[12:50] <TheRandom> Ok
[12:50] <LjL> TheRandom: output of "ls -l /usr/bin/sudo"?
[12:51] <datruth_> I am having an issue resuming my computer from sleep mode in 11.10 on as asus g74s anyone have this issue?
[12:51] <TheRandom> -rwsr-xr-x 2 root root 168768 2011-09-11 20:09 /usr/bin/sudo
[12:52] <LjL> TheRandom: that's correct, so apparently it's not that either, even though strace says it's trying to write that it's not suid root...
[12:52] <LjL> TheRandom: which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[12:53] <TheRandom> LjL, 11.10, which seems to be incredibly slow on my netbook.
[12:53] <TheRandom> (seperate issue I suspect)
[12:54] <hariom> Where can I find httpd command on my ubuntu installation?
[12:54] <LjL> TheRandom: i386 or amd64?
[12:54] <TheRandom> LjL, u386.
[12:54] <ye> 有懂中文的吗
[12:54] <TheRandom> i*
[12:54] <LjL> !cn | ye
[12:54] <TheRandom> LjL, Intel Atom N455
[12:54] <LjL> TheRandom: ok, just going to check something
[12:54] <TheRandom> Cheers
[12:54] <ye> 有懂中文的吗
[12:55] <TiMiDo> cheers TheRandom
[12:55] <TheRandom> TiMiDo ?
[12:55] <datruth_> anyone know?
[12:56] <hariom> Where can I find httpd command on my ubuntu installation?
[12:56] <LjL> TheRandom: do you have any way to access root now (i'd need you to install a package)?
[12:56] <Humbedooh> hariom, it's called apache2 on ubuntu default
[12:56] <TheRandom> LjL, not unless you know of a way to do it without sudo
[12:57] <Humbedooh> or at least on ubuntu server :>
[12:58] <LjL> TheRandom: output of "uname -m" please
[12:58] <TheRandom> x86_64
[12:59] <LjL> TheRandom: then you're not running i386 ;P
[12:59] <msterbrewer> is it possible to transfer files using a lan cable from my computer that is running ubuntu to my new windows 7 computer
[12:59] <TheRandom> >_>
[12:59] <seshagiri_> Hey could some one help me out of the problem while installing man-db. I have pasted the error report  here -> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/537758/
[12:59] <TheRandom> I thought i386 were intel chips
[12:59] <msterbrewer> i have no idea what the lan is called in english
[12:59] <msterbrewer> but its the one for connecting 2 computers without a router
[12:59] <LjL> TheRandom: no i meant 32-bit vs 64-bit. anyway it doesn't matter, it was just puzzling me that the filesize for "sudo" didn't match
[13:00] <TheRandom> ah sorry.
[13:00] <LjL> TheRandom: well i'm stuck, have a look maybe at the logs, "dmesg" might tell you something... i'm out of ideas
[13:01] <midibernd> i have a radeon 6950 with 3 displays connected, but I can't get my catalyst control center to make them extend my desktop. I'm running it as root, but when I click apply it closes out and nothing happens .... any hints?
[13:01] <TheRandom> le sigh :P
[13:01] <TheRandom> thanks LjL
[13:01] <ridolien> join #sql
[13:01] <LjL> TheRandom: also how long have you waited for sudo to return? if it were a hostname problem (even though it doesn't seem to be), it'd probably respond after a minute or so
[13:02] <TheRandom> Ok I'll run a sudo apt-get update and leave it
[13:02] <LjL> TheRandom: maybe output of "lsof" as well, to see if sudo is trying to access something and gets stuck on it
[13:03] <TheRandom> LjL, lsof output gives a list longer than the terminal output :P
[13:04] <LjL> TheRandom: well "lsof | grep sudo" then
[13:04] <hariom> Hi, I am getting following error while using command "apache2 -S":  apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[13:04] <TheRandom> running
[13:05] <seshagiri_> Well thanks i fixed it myself!
[13:05] <jrib> hariom: use: apache2ctl -S
[13:05] <TheRandom> LjL, da nada
[13:06] <LjL> TheRandom: no output?
[13:06] <TheRandom> still running
[13:06] <TheRandom> but nothing currently
[13:06] <LjL> TheRandom: wut... "lsof" got stuck too?
[13:06] <TheRandom> ah here we go
[13:06] <TheRandom> finally finished
[13:06] <LjL> TheRandom: it's weird, it should take a split second
[13:06] <TheRandom> A whole bunch of Permission denied
[13:07] <TheRandom> Took atleast a minute
[13:07] <TheRandom> All the errors give 'Permission Denied'
[13:07] <LjL> TheRandom: nothing other than errors?
[13:08] <LjL> TheRandom: look, call me paranoid but i don't like this very much. see if we can use the strace trick to run sudo, and install a rootkit checker. "strace sudo apt-get install chkrootkit rkhunter"
[13:09] <hariom> jrib: http://pastebin.com/UWgL7UHC
[13:09] <melvincv> Is there something that can turn my Windows button into an Ubuntu button? ;)
[13:09] <TheRandom> Ok gimme 5 LjL
[13:09] <enchilado> melvincv: a sticker.
[13:09] <Guest32744> Anyone familiar with COurier-Imap ?
[13:09] <TheRandom> Nope LjL
[13:09] <padlefot> I need to know how to put the webmail files in the right place so i can reach them from Apache (webinterface)
[13:09] <enchilado> I believe I saw a website advertising them once, but I didn't get one because they only shipped to America.
[13:10] <TheRandom> Same as before with strace sudo -k
[13:10] <padlefot> I tried a symlink action similar to the one used with phpmyadmin but is says it needs cgi-bin files
[13:10] <padlefot> :S
[13:10] <LjL> TheRandom: it exited successfully, but installed nothing?
[13:10] <TheRandom> Indeed
[13:10] <melvincv> cool, but I'm in India. I'd prefer an Ubuntu sticker.
[13:11] <jrib> hariom: yes, that's your expected output, no
[13:11] <jrib> ?\
[13:11] <hariom> jrib: any idea how to fix this?
[13:12] <midibernd> i have a radeon 6950 with 3 displays connected, but I can't get my catalyst control center to make them extend my desktop. I'm running it as root, but when I click apply it closes out and nothing happens .... any hints?
[13:12] <LjL> TheRandom: ah, actually "sudo" doesn't really work under "strace" for me either.
[13:12] <jrib> hariom: fix what?  I don't see anything wrong
[13:12] <chrispin> Hello
[13:12] <melvincv> hi
[13:13] <datruth_> anyone?
[13:13] <chrispin> could someone help me initialize Kgeography in Ubuntu 10.10
[13:13] <melvincv> Any leads on the Ubnntu sticker, to stick to the Windows key on my keyboard? :)
[13:14] <ikonia> melvincv: linux emporium, for generic linux stickers
[13:14] <LjL> TheRandom: well if you want to stick around and see if someone else has a clue... otherwise i'd boot from a live cd and do a sanity check of your installation, using "debsums", "rkhunter" and "chkrootkit", as well as maybe testing your hardware with "smartmontools"
[13:15] <TheRandom> LjL, I'm tempted to do a new install.
[13:15] <melvincv> ikonia: Thanks :)
[13:15] <LjL> TheRandom: you could do that as well, though it would be interesting to find out what happened
[13:15] <TheRandom> Interesting as it is, it's not helping my masters project.
[13:15] <TheRandom> :P
[13:15] <TheRandom> Is there a neat way to uninstall ubuntu, if I used the windows installer?
[13:15] <datruth_> if my computer does not want to wake from sleep mode an my only option is turning the pc off my holding the power button by doing this am I hurting my hard-drive?
[13:15] <LjL> TheRandom: Wubi you mean? not sure
[13:16] <LjL> TheRandom: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation i guess
[13:17] <TheRandom> So, typing su
[13:17] <TheRandom> prompts for password
[13:17] <TheRandom> but then rejects what i definatley think my password is :P
[13:18] <LjL> TheRandom: well, that's normal, the root account is locked in ubuntu...
[13:28] <ro0ot> Has anyone tried to get vmware to work in ubuntu 12.04? I just installed it but I can't complete it
[13:28] <ro0ot> seeing if anyone else has had these issues before.
[13:28] <iceroot> ro0ot: #ubuntu+1
[13:28] <ro0ot> thans
[13:28] <finish06> ubuntu 12.04 is out?!?  HUH???
[13:29] <iceroot> finish06: no
[13:29] <auronandace> !12.04
[13:29] <finish06> iceroot, ok, thanks! :) lol
[13:29] <ro0ot> finish06: its available for download. its amazing imho 11 was broken like hell
[13:29] <yumbo> Can I run Gnome Shell without effects/corruption ?
[13:30] <iceroot> finish06: ro0ot its not stable so its not recommened to be used on important systems, also its offtopic in this channel
[13:30] <ro0ot> iceroot: Oh ok
[13:31] <ikonia> yumbo: what effects ?
[13:31] <ikonia> yumbo: gnome shell doesn't use things like compiz by default
[13:31] <yumbo> ikonia, it uses mutter, I know
[13:31] <ikonia> yumbo: ok, so what are you actually asking ?
[13:31] <yumbo> ikonia, but Gnome Shell gives huge corruption with the proper. AMD drivers
[13:31] <ikonia> yumbo: ok - so are you using amd drivers ?
[13:31] <yumbo> is there a way to have it not give display corruption?
[13:32] <alabama-man> How do I access the repository using terminal?
[13:32] <ikonia> yumbo: not if there is a bug in the amd drivers
[13:32] <yumbo> ikonia, it's not a bug in the amd drivers
[13:32] <ikonia> yumbo: what is it then ?
[13:32] <ye> l
[13:32] <yumbo> ikonia, I asked the devs, they said Gnome Shell had something wrong in the rendering process
[13:32] <iceroot> alabama-man: for installing? for reading package-status?
[13:32] <zombie_monkey> I just changed the port that my desktop in another place is listening on for incoming ssh, and the restarted the service; then when I exited and immediately reconnected I get a "changed RSA key" warning
[13:32] <yumbo> ikonia, but Im not sure, it could be a biased view
[13:33] <ac> ciao
[13:33] <yumbo> ikonia, I wanted to know if there is a workaround
[13:33] <ye> you dong zhong wen de ma
[13:33] <ikonia> yumbo: that seems unlikey as it works with other video cards, and the ati component has lots of problems with lots of applications (compiz used to be a problem for example)
[13:33] <ac> !List
[13:33] <ikonia> yumbo: very unlikley
[13:33] <alabama-man> iceroot: I am wanting to edit the repository, that's all. However I want to see if I can do it in terminal.
[13:33] <iceroot> alabama-man: edit?
[13:33] <iceroot> alabama-man: edit what? the repo-list? the packages in a repo?
[13:34] <alabama-man> iceroot: the repo list
[13:34] <yumbo> ikonia, ok, thanks for answering
[13:34] <iceroot> alabama-man: edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:34] <yumbo> alabama-man, "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[13:35] <zombie_monkey> is the RSA key based on the contents of /etc/ssh/sshd_config somehow so that's why the key changed?
[13:36] <|Anthony|> Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device?
[13:36] <slakcphil> ok, weird toshiba satellite C655d problem, it freezes after boot, on the login screen, as soon as I move the mouse or press a key, I can reproduce it on every boot after it first happens(i have done up to 7 reboots)... now get this, the only time it does not it when i boot to windows7 login screen and then reboot!
[13:36] <jatt> the (old) key on the client is different
[13:37] <misterx_245> а русские есть
[13:37] <misterx_245> ?
[13:37] <auronandace> !ru | misterx_245
[13:38] <SLayeRDK> !dk | SLayeRDK
[13:38] <zombie_monkey> jatt: yes, I know?
[13:39] <slakcphil> so to be clear, i can boot into ubuntu from a cold start most times without fail.. when it does freeze up.. the only way i have stopped it from reproducing is from choosing win7 from grub and waiting till the login screen to select reboot, then it will boot fine all the way without freexing
[13:39] <slakcphil> z
[13:39] <zombie_monkey> this is the first time I sshed in this desktop, I added the key I was sent, then edited sshd_config, disconnected and when I immediately reconncted the key was different
[13:39] <zombie_monkey> jatt:
[13:39] <ikonia> slakcphil: if you boot into ubuntu - what happens
[13:40] <slakcphil> when ubuntu freezes, i do not get any error logs in syslog, nor do I get the blinking caps lock like I do when getting a kernel panic
[13:40] <ikonia> slakcphil: if you boot into ubuntu - what happens
[13:40] <slakcphil> ikonia, most times it is fine, then sporadically it will freeze(only at the login screen when i move mouse or type)
[13:41] <ikonia> slakcphil: sounds like a hardware error
[13:41] <ikonia> slakcphil: when it freezes try hitting the capslock key, see if the light goes on/off
[13:41] <slakcphil> i have seen this ==> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/toshiba-satellite-c655d-s5210-freezes-under-kubuntu-and-linux-mint-892628/
[13:41] <slakcphil> ikonia, i have and it does nothing, i have to press and hold the power button
[13:41] <ikonia> slakcphil: sounds like a hardware issue then
[13:42] <slakcphil> ikonia, yeah but just what is it that windows is doing to the BIOS to where i can fix by only starting to boot into windows and then properly rebooting from win?
[13:43] <ikonia> slakcphil: I don't think it's doing anything to the bios
[13:44] <slakcphil> ikonia, maybe acpi?
[13:44] <ikonia> slakcphil: doubtful
[13:46] <slakcphil> ikonia, i am afraid to let the win7 partition go since it is now somehow required to fix this problem.. I have not yet tried, but will try to next time boot into scientific linux and see if it still freezes after the ubuntu freeze
[13:47] <ikonia> slakcphil: I'd start running the hardware tests to be honest
[13:47] <ludo___> i change my bios time through command sudo hwclock --set --date "01/25/12 18:24:00" but though after rebooting server my time is been reset to original time .i want to set it permanently .how should i do that
[13:48] <ikonia> ludo___: just change it through the bios as I told you
[13:48] <ikonia> ludo___: enter your bios and set the block
[13:48] <ikonia> clock
[13:49] <LjL> ludo___, is the time simply incorrect or is it off by some specific number of hours? if the latter, you might have the wrong timezone set.
[13:49] <ludo___> ikonia :- sorry to ask such a stupid question but how to do that
[13:49] <ikonia> ludo___: when boot the machine you will see something like "press F12 to enter bios" - press that key and then use the menu
[13:49] <ikonia> ludo___: this is before ubuntu even boots
[13:50] <ye> ``````````
[13:50] <ludo___> ikonia -ok got it
[13:50] <libnotify> how can i make the motd changes permanent on my machine
[13:51] <slakcphil> ikonia, what hardware tests? i can boot into win7 every day for 6 months at work and never have a freeze or any issue at all :/
[13:51] <slakcphil> ikonia, the hardware seems fine
[13:51] <ikonia> slakcphil: that doesn't mean you don't have a hardware problem
[13:51] <ikonia> slakcphil: start looking at tools like memtest or cpuload
[13:51] <slakcphil> ikonia, i have not tried cpuload...
[13:51] <gwelter> ludo___: or use hwclock --systohc
[13:52] <ikonia> slakcphil: have you tried memtest ?
[13:52] <LjL> libnotify: you can make an /etc/motd.tail file and edit it to your liking
[13:52] <slakcphil> ikonia, yes
[13:52] <libnotify> LjL: says no such file
[13:52] <LjL> libnotify: that's why i said "make". it doesn't exist by default.
[13:52] <ikonia> slakcphil: how long did you leave it running for ?
[13:53] <slakcphil> ikonia, about 20 :) not the whole way..
[13:53] <ikonia> slakcphil: 20 what ?
[13:54] <libnotify> will it overide the default /etc/motd?
[13:54] <slakcphil> ikonia minutes
[13:54] <LjL> libnotify: no, it will add it to the end of it
[13:54] <ikonia> slakcphil: that's no way a test
[13:54] <ikonia> slakcphil: you'll need to leave it running for a good 12 - 24 hours
[13:54] <ikonia> slakcphil: 20 minutes is a pointless test
[13:54] <libnotify> i want to override the default
[13:54] <slakcphil> ikonia, :/ i suppose.. now how do I do the cpuload?
[13:55] <ikonia> slakcphil: do memtest first, as that's the most common issue
[13:55] <slakcphil> ikonia, ok see you guys tonight or tomorrow, thx ikonia
[13:56] <slakcphil> time to memtest
[13:58] <libnotify> LjL: not possible>
[13:58] <libnotify> ?*
[13:59] <LjL> libnotify: not sure, i suppose you *could* try making a static motd in /etc/motd and then "chmod a-w" it, so that the update scripts can't touch it
[14:00]  * Solsun__ is away: Away
[14:00] <LjL> !away > Solsun__
[14:01] <|Anthony|> Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device?
[14:01] <alabama-man> When I try to run an update from other repositories ubuntu chooses to ignore them rather than downloading their packages, why would this be and how can I stop it?
[14:01] <sipior> libnotify: you can modify the files in /etc/update-motd.d to do as you please.
[14:01] <|Anthony|> or maybe a way to do it via cli so i can script it
[14:02] <alabama-man> Hello?
[14:02] <phgrau> xemer
[14:02] <phgrau> Ups. sorry.
[14:05] <LjL> alabama-man: define "ignore them"
[14:05] <libnotify> how do i make /etc/motd static
[14:06] <slakcphil> ikonia, ok so memtest says cached ram is 1639 MB, windows properties says 2GB(1.6 usable) is that a problem?
[14:06] <LjL> slakcphil: shouldn't be, i imagine the rest is used by a shared-memory video card
[14:06] <ikonia> slakcphil: no,
[14:06] <ikonia> LjL beat me to it
[14:07] <slakcphil> :)
[14:07] <phalaaxx> libnotify, maybe edit scripts in /etc/update-motd.d?
[14:08] <slakcphil> ikonia, ok so now i can sit in front of memtest all friday..
[14:08] <slakcphil> thx
[14:09] <ludo___> ikonia -f12 key is not working to get into bios
[14:09] <ludo___> ikonia-?
[14:09] <libnotify> can't get a location for that phalaaxx
[14:09] <ikonia> ludo___: it may not be the F12 key - you have to read your screen to see what key it is
[14:10] <ludo___> ikonia-ok
[14:10] <mie_> nobody here?
[14:11] <ikonia> mie_: yes, 1400 people are
[14:11] <LjL> mie_: only 1520 people
[14:11] <mie_> :)
[14:12] <ikonia> mie_: normally people ask a question to get a response, rather than stating "no-one here" 45 seconds after entering the room
[14:12] <phalaaxx> libnotify, i'm not sure what you mean... i think probably need to edit scripts in /etc/update-motd.d directory and remove parts that generate dynamic content in motd on every login
[14:12] <mie_> ow
[14:12] <mie_> i have a problem with my ubuntu
[14:12] <libnotify> i can't locate that directory, that is what i meant
[14:12] <phalaaxx> libnotify, i meant to say "i think you probably need..."
[14:12] <phalaaxx> oh i see
[14:12] <ikonia> mie_: again, people normally ask a question
[14:12] <mie_> about my audio doesn't work
[14:13] <mie_> wait,,,q change my account
[14:13] <ikonia> mie_: let me give you an example "I'm using ubuntu 10.04 32bit, and my sound isn't working, I can't here any sounds at all"
[14:13] <ikonia> "hear" sounds
[14:17] <ludo___> ikonia-dear frnd it was del key and f12
[14:17] <ikonia> I don't care, it's different on every machine
[14:18] <phalaaxx> libnotify, try  grep motd /etc/init/*  <- this may give you a clue how motd is generated dynamically on your system
[14:18] <ludo___> ikonia- sorry i mean to say and not f12,thank u
[14:26] <datruth_> I've gotten a new system and have been having an issue on resuming from sleep but thats fixed now in the proccess of finding the resolution ive had to power cycle my laptop by holding the power button down
[14:26] <datruth_> how can I check if I dxmanaged my disk?
[14:27] <loganrun> I get the following error when I start vlc: "Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.", anybody know how to fix this?
[14:27] <xingle> hi. I accidentally disconnected my computer from the power source while it was running, downloading, writing to, and reading from the disk. All seems to be fine after a restart, but should I run some diagnostic programs for missing files, disk corruption, etc?
[14:30] <xc> i've a problem with my firefox, it's doesn't work,,how i can fix it?
[14:30] <auronandace> xc: thats rather vague, doesn't work how?
[14:30] <LjL> xingle: it should check automatically, but if you want to make sure,
[14:30] <LjL> !fsck
[14:31] <RiXtEr-home> xc, firefox -safe-mode from a terminal might be a good start
[14:31] <LjL> same to datruth_

[14:33] <jorge> Hi, someone can helpme please, yesterday I read on Gawker.com
[14:33] <jorge> “Anonymous members are distributing a link that ropes internet users into an illegal DDoS attack against these websites simply by clicking it.” I was on twitter and I think, without know all of this,  it's possible that I click in a few ones, how do I do to know if my pc is a begin used as a zombie for an Ddos attack ?
[14:34] <xingle> LjL: thanks
[14:34] <xc> LjL : i have an update for firefox 10
[14:35] <auronandace> xc: we can't support that
[14:35] <LjL> jorge, seems highly unlikely it would manage to actually *turn* your machine into a zombie. i think at worst, it'll attack those sites *while* you keep the page open.
[14:35] <LjL> xc: what sort of update?
[14:35] <loganrun> I get the following error when I start vlc: "Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.", anybody know how to fix this?
[14:35] <xc> so,,,what must i do?
[14:35] <LjL> xc: uninstall that "update", and go back to the official Ubuntu package, most likely.
[14:35] <auronandace> xc: why don't you use the firefox that is in the repos?
[14:36] <xc> mmm,,,ok, i'm trying
[14:36] <loganrun> does anyone else have this issue
[14:36] <sten_> hello
[14:36] <sten_> somewhere there?
[14:36] <ikonia> many people
[14:36] <LjL> loganrun: what does "echo $LANG" say
[14:36] <sten_> lol
[14:36] <sten_> the problem is
[14:36] <sten_> i got a ubuntu lts server
[14:36] <xc> thx LjL & auronandace
[14:36] <sten_> 64bit
[14:37] <sten_> I need to instal tcl
[14:37] <LjL> !enter | sten_
[14:37] <sten_> but 32bit version
[14:37] <loganrun> LJL:en_US.UTF-8
[14:37] <LjL> loganrun: that sounds quite reasonable, i don't know why VLC would say that.
[14:37] <sten_> i got a ubuntu lts server, 64bit, unfortunately I need a 32bit version of tclsh there
[14:37] <loganrun> LjL: I assume it is probably any Gtk app
[14:38] <jorge> Ljl: Ah, ok, sorry ahaha, I have no idea about this, so, it's safer then ?, Its necessary to check the open ports ?, I reapeat SORRY to ask this stupidity, but I don't know about this stuff
[14:38] <xc> LjL : mmm,,how to uninstall that update?
[14:38] <LjL> xc: i don't know, tell us how you installed it.
[14:38] <xc> just klik the update icon
[14:38] <RiXtEr-home> loganrun, that is a warning, i see that with gparted all the time, not an error, if its not working its likely broken after that.
[14:38] <butti> auronandace: back
[14:39] <LjL> jorge: i wouldn't worry, but if you want to check open ports, try "nmap"
[14:39] <xc> wait,,,i forget it
[14:39] <xc> aaaa
[14:39] <timmyt> how to merge ttf files?
[14:39] <auronandace> butti: hi
[14:39] <LjL> xc: ok look, what does "apt-cache poloicy firefox" say
[14:39] <LjL> xc: ok look, what does "apt-cache policy firefox" say
[14:39] <sten_> i got a ubuntu lts server, 64bit, unfortunately I need a 32bit version of tclsh there
[14:40] <loganrun> RiXtEr-home, yes it is a warning, but how does one fix it?
[14:40] <LjL> sten_, others may easily know better, but all i can say is i don't think it's very easy, with no multiarch support

[14:40] <dimas_> could someone suggest me a good application or way to keep my ip (location) private?
[14:40] <loganrun> it says before the error: Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
[14:40] <xc> ow,,,,
[14:40] <xc> ic,,,sorry..
[14:41] <LjL> dimas_: you would need some kind of proxy server for that, but it's bound to slow your connection.
[14:41] <dimas_> LjL, is that the only way?
[14:41] <iceroot> dimas_: not using the internet, tor, proxy  (in that order)
[14:41] <LjL> dimas_: that i can think of. but i'm pretty sure there is no other way, because servers need to know your IP to communicate with you.
[14:41] <LjL> dimas_: either yours, or that of an intermediary (proxy)
[14:42] <timmyt> dimas_, tor
[14:42] <loganrun> maybe it is a but with vlc
[14:42] <LjL> dimas_: tor can be very slow.
[14:43] <dimas_> but the proxy is when you use the browser only?
[14:43] <LjL> dimas_: no, you can use a proxy for other things to
[14:43] <winnie666> Hello! I happened to loose SSH connection to my server while doing apt-get install a bunch of programs that take a while to install, Upon reconnection and doing "ps aux" i see apt-get is still running, will apt-get still be allowed to finish?
[14:43] <iceroot> winnie666: no
[14:43] <LjL> dimas_: there are programs that let you wrap any other program around a SOCKS proxy, for instance (which you can use with tor)
[14:43] <iceroot> winnie666: always use screen in the future for that
[14:44] <winnie666> yes i found out about that now
[14:44] <dimas_> LjL, which one? tor?
[14:44] <winnie666> i didn't loose the connection intensionally
[14:44] <LjL> dimas_: no, tor itself doesn't do that. you can use "tsocks" for instance, with tor+privoxy.
[14:44] <winnie666> why is apt-get still in the process list though?
[14:44] <LjL> dimas_: also if you're looking to hide your IP on freenode, you can request a cloak.
[14:44] <winnie666> should i kill it?
[14:45] <LjL> winnie666: if you kill it, do it softly, not with -s 9
[14:45] <sacred_coder> hi
[14:45] <iceroot> winnie666: never kill something with -9
[14:45] <xc> LjL : An error has occurred in the Pastebin software. Please notify the administrators.
[14:45] <xc> what happen?
[14:45] <winnie666> LjL, if I don't kill it, it will never finish?
[14:45] <sacred_coder> i have a problem with gnome graphics
[14:45] <sacred_coder> my screen has become shaky
[14:45] <LjL> xc: it works for me, try again
[14:45] <sacred_coder> please hep me
[14:46] <xc> oke
[14:46] <Jimu> is there a performance benchmark tool for Ubuntu? Or just like SiSoft Sandra?
[14:46] <winnie666> i am aware of the consecuenses of -9, but thank you
[14:46] <LjL> Jimu: there are several programs that can measure the performance of various components. what are looking for in particular?
[14:47] <xc> LjL : http://paste.ubuntu.com/810746/plain/
[14:47] <dimas_> LjL, and the rest thank you very much for the info
[14:47] <greg_> hi folks, where would i need to start looking if a i can ping to an external domain name and ipaddress (such as yahoo), but can't browse via ff (either the domain or ip address)? The only bits i've found on the net so far refer to AV on windows boxes (but i'm not running windows). any help appreciated where i should start digging. thanks.
[14:47] <Jimu> LjL - I'm trying to compare performance of a VBox install to a HD vs. a VBox install to a USB flash drive
[14:48] <LjL> xc: first, delete any file having to do with firefox/mozilla from /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[14:48] <LjL> Jimu: so you mainly want to measure the performance of the root drive?
[14:48] <xc> how to delete it?
[14:48] <LjL> xc: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*firefox*   (type this carefully)
[14:48] <Jimu> LjL - i guess, yes
[14:49] <LjL> !info bonnie++ | jimu
[14:50] <dimas_> LjL, how you request a cloak in freenode?
[14:50] <LjL> Jimu: a *very* simple way to measure the disk throughput is to use hdparm/sdparm with "-Tt"
[14:50] <auronandace> dimas_: first /join #freenode
[14:50] <LjL> dimas_: first you need to register and identify
[14:50] <LjL> !register > dimas_
[14:50] <LjL> dimas_: then ask in #freenode
[14:50] <dimas_> oke
[14:50] <dimas_> thanks

[15:04] <Slart> pinguy: have a look at your syslog.. see if it mentions anything interesting "tail -f /var/log/syslog" will give you a running printout of the syslog

[15:07] <nivyaj> can someone help me with a q?
[15:07] <MonkeyDust> nivyaj  if you're sweet

[15:13] <Slart> nc__: I would try googling first.. something like "gnome mouse button setting" or something like that

[15:32] <dwrightson> looking for infor on what Bus Master Arbitration failure means on boot
[15:32] <dwrightson> ubuntu 9.04
[15:32] <nivyaj> which directoy are programs stored in ubuntu? in windows it was program files
[15:33] <xangua> dwrightson: 9.04 is no longer supported
[15:33] <dwrightson> running in a vmware
[15:33] <gwelter> Roj: stop ufw
[15:33] <ikonia> nivyaj: doesn't work like that in linux
[15:33] <ikonia> nivyaj: what do you actually want to achieve ?
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> Roj  or try sudo ufw stop
[15:34] <dwrightson> yeah, I know 9.04 is not supported.  trying to find info on what that error means.  is it a network card issue?
[15:34] <domedagen> dlentz: Still not working but I'll have to AFK. Thank you for trying to help me at least
[15:34] <domedagen> Maybe I'll figure out what the problem is later
[15:34] <napster> What you guys use for making screencasts? Please don't tell me some cli tools with 100+ switches ;)
[15:34] <ikonia> !screencast > nivyaj
[15:34] <popey> napster: kazam
[15:34] <Roj> i use suse and ufw stop
[15:34] <Roj> If 'ufw' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
[15:34] <Roj>     cnf ufw
[15:35] <ikonia> oops
[15:35] <napster> popey: ok
[15:35] <nivyaj> ikonia: i downloaded drop box. it works, but i have to use the command line. i want an icon. (it might be useful to know that during install i was asked for my password and i put my dropbox pass word instead of my pc password and i got an error.... that might have something to do with it)
[15:35] <gwelter> roj: ufw is the ubuntu firewall
[15:35] <jeagle> Greetings all! I like most, have a dilemma! :) I wrote a script that will successfully convert jpg, tif, word, excel files and merge them into one pdf masterfile. Only problem is I use Ghostscript to perform the merge, and it is supposed to create bookmarks, however, it does not. I am trying to automate this process, is there any suggestions out there on how to automate the bookmarking section of my script? :)
[15:35] <ikonia> nivyaj: ok, so could you expand a little about "have to use the command line" 1.) why ? 2.) is it just one command or a few arguments ?
[15:35] <gwelter> roj: are you running suse?
[15:36] <Roj> open suse 11.3
[15:36] <ikonia> Grrrrr
[15:36] <nivyaj> ikonia: i don't know how to run the program otherwise. here is the argument
[15:36] <ikonia> nivyaj: you should be able to just open a terminal and type the command
[15:36] <gwelter> Roj: sorry for asking, but why are you asking the question in the ubuntu channel?
[15:36] <nivyaj>  ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
[15:36] <gwelter> Roj: i assumed you were running ubuntu
[15:37] <ikonia> nivyaj: ok, so cd ~/.dropbox-dist
[15:37] <ikonia> nivyaj: and then ./dropboxd
[15:37] <nivyaj> ikonia: so you don't get icons ?
[15:37] <ikonia> nivyaj: how did you install it ?
[15:37] <nivyaj> ikonia: https://www.dropbox.com/install
[15:37] <ikonia> nivyaj: one moment while I look
[15:38] <jeagle> Is anyone familiar with Ghostscript? :)
[15:38] <dwrightson> Anyone have a one sentence explanation on what the error "Bus master arbitration failure" means?  Is it an issue of network card failure?  I am running this in a VMWare host.
[15:39] <ikonia> nivyaj: so you didn't install the "deb" package, you did the "wget" thing ?
[15:39] <Slart> jeagle: assume we are and just ask the real question =)
[15:40] <unop> dwrightson, some context would be nice - where do you see this error, what do you do to cause it, etc
[15:40] <jeagle> Slart I did  earlier :)
[15:40] <gener1c> google is adding offline ads to chromium :S
[15:40] <Slart> jeagle: oh.. sorry.. missed it then =)
[15:40] <ikonia> gener1c: nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:40] <nivyaj> i did cd ~ && wget -O - http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 | tar xzf -
[15:40] <ddp23> hi anyone recognise an error along these lines: W: Failed to fetch copy:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk_pub_linux_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_main_i18n_Index  Encountered a section with no Package: header and know where to look for a fix please?
[15:40] <ikonia> nivyaj: ok, may I suggest using the "deb" package that is build for ubuntu
[15:41] <nivyaj> i dont know what deb and wget are yet
[15:41] <ikonia> nivyaj: that will lay it out for you and most likey give you a menu item
[15:41] <ikonia> nivyaj: ok - first thing https://help.ubuntu.com this should help you with the basics of using ubuntu
[15:41] <jeagle> basically I have PDF files with multiple pages that need to be combine with bookmarking.
[15:41] <nivyaj> ok. so how do i delete what i have installed?
[15:41] <jeagle> I can combine them fine w/o bookmarking
[15:41] <Slart> jeagle: hmm.. haven't used ghostscript to create bookmarks before.. do you get any bookmarks at all? or malplaced bookmarks?
[15:42] <jeagle> I get none. :(
[15:42] <ikonia> nivyaj: also on https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx you should see packages built for ubuntu (they say ubuntu and have a logo next to them) download the correct one for your OS, and if you double click it it "should" install
[15:42] <jeagle> Supposedly
[15:42] <jeagle> you have to use pdfmarks w/in ghostscript
[15:42] <nivyaj> ikonia: ok. so how do i delete what i have installed?
[15:42] <Slart> jeagle: does this solve anything? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1545064
[15:42] <ikonia> nivyaj: don't worry about that at this time, the deb package should overwrite that
[15:42] <jeagle> how do I turn your name to orange haha ? :)
[15:42] <slakcphil> ikonia, the memtest made 2 passes with no errors :)
[15:42] <ikonia> slakcphil: what did I tell you
[15:42] <nivyaj> ikonia: thanks :)
[15:43] <ikonia> slakcphil: how long did I tell you to run it
[15:43] <slakcphil> ikonia, :)
[15:43] <ikonia> slakcphil: I'm not laughing, you ask for help, I spend time giving you information on how to diagnose/resolve the issues and you seem to just be trying to ignore it / short cut it
[15:43] <dyd> MonkeyDust, thanks for the link
[15:43] <Slart> jeagle: just write my nickname before your message.. you can probably use TAB to autocomplete when you've written Sla  .. ,colour, sound and whatnot is created on my end by my client
[15:43] <jeagle> Slart: I have seen that, however, here is my problem, that guy looks like he used pdfmarks by hand, and each page is just one page. How would one get the page numbers programmatically and add them in to that pdfmarks file.
[15:44] <slakcphil> ikonia, memtest said no errors, press esc to reboot
[15:44] <dwrightson> unop: machine worked fine yesterday.  vmware did auto auto update (sorry don't know details of that).  now ubuntu machine starts and I can login though console but no network.  upon boot, the message "eth1: bus master arbitration failure, status 9cf3" appears on console over and over.  try to ping anything from root and get "Network unreachable"
[15:44] <ikonia> slakcphil: no it didn't
[15:44] <ikonia> slakcphil: it doesn't end
[15:44] <B0naparte> Hello everyone. I'm new to IRC, can anyone tell me how to hide my IP?
[15:44] <Slart> jeagle: ah.. I see.. tricky
[15:44] <ikonia> slakcphil: how long did I tell you to run it for
[15:44] <ikonia> slakcphil: it ends when YOU tell it to
[15:44] <auronandace> B0naparte: ask in#freenode
[15:44] <ikonia> B0naparte: www.freenode.net look for a cloak
[15:44] <jeagle> yep! I'm on the verge of automating this entire process but that is my only road block :)
[15:44] <B0naparte> kk
[15:44] <B0naparte> Thank you guys!
[15:44] <ikonia> !cloak > B0naparte
[15:45] <B0naparte> Man, people are more friendly here than #2600.
[15:45] <jong> 󠁟
[15:45] <jeagle> Slart: forgot to add your name :3 yep! I'm on the verge of automating this entire process but that is my only road block :)
[15:45] <Slart> jeagle: this sounds interesting.. I'll look around and see what I can find.. I'll get back to you if I find something interesting
[15:45] <napster> popey: I couldn't find kazam in the repos. I see a launchpad ppa. Did you fetch from there?
[15:45] <slakcphil> ikonia, how can you be so sure when I could run scientific linux with no freeze issues, you must be a canonical cronie
[15:46] <popey> napster: yes, there is a kazam channel also, worth joining
[15:46] <ikonia> slakcphil: how long did I tell you to run it for
[15:46] <jeagle> Slart: Thank you! ^-^ All it needs to do is for each file that is combined... Create a bookmark. I was hoping that was standard in ghostscript but I was wrong. :(
[15:46] <napster> popey: ok, ty
[15:46] <slakcphil> ikonia, get off you high horse!
[15:46] <ikonia> slakcphil: no, you ask for help, then ignore the help,
[15:46] <popey> napster: its under active development, developer appreciates feedback and bug reports ☺
[15:46] <ikonia> slakcphil: if you are not willing to follow the advice, what is the point of asking for help
[15:46] <jong> 󠁟
[15:46] <jong> 󠁟
[15:46] <jurua> alguem poderia da uma ajuda?
[15:47] <slakcphil> ikonia, i do not appreciate your tone
[15:47] <slakcphil> ikonia, i thought you were taller than a troll
[15:47] <ikonia> slakcphil: I don't appreciate you wasting my time asking for help then ignoring it
[15:47] <jurua> na minha configuração de MAC para o serviço da net
[15:47] <LulzCat> 󠁟
[15:47] <Slart> jeagle: I'm guessing in a worst case scenario you have to figure out how many pages each pdf/image contains and calculate the page numbers to input in the pdfmarks file.. but perhaps there is an easier way
[15:47] <slakcphil> ikonia == troll
[15:47] <somsip> slakcphil: ikonia = op. Bye
[15:47] <ikonia> slakcphil: then I suggest you find your own way to resolve the problem, best of luck
[15:48] <nivyaj> ikonia: it didnt show up after doing the deb install
[15:48] <napster> popey: ok, I would like it. Does it work without glitches now?
[15:48] <nivyaj> ikonia: but i saw it NOW in the application listings
[15:48] <jeagle> Slart: I agree! However, programmatically (I am using bash scripting) that might be a little tough haha! or I should say, I have no idea how to do it. :)
[15:48] <Slart> jeagle: are you first converting xls and whatnot to pdf and then merging the pdfs?
[15:48] <ikonia> nivyaj: ahhh great, they did,
[15:48] <popey> napster: its pretty reliable, yes
[15:48] <ikonia> nivyaj: that's dissapointing, I was hoping they had put an icon/launcher in for you
[15:48] <jeagle> Slart: Correct!
[15:48] <napster> popey: ok, then expect another active tester :)
[15:48] <nivyaj> ikonia:  so can i justdrag and drop it into my ribbon?
[15:48] <Slart> jeagle: bash can do some wonderful things.. you just have to threaten it in the right way =)
[15:49] <BussDriver> hi everyone, I'm afraid I've horribly broken my AMD driver install.. thankfully, I managed to boot with the open-source drivers again just now, but compositing isn't working - I'm getting libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[15:49] <ikonia> nivyaj: honestly not quite certain as I've not used it, only going from reading the instructions, but I'd guess so, yes
[15:49] <jeagle> Slart: I like the way you think! :)
[15:49] <slakcphil> ikonia, i should almost let it run for 3 days, just to prove you wrong
[15:49] <ro0ot> what is the backtrack room?
[15:49] <ikonia> nivyaj: please note "just a guess"
[15:49] <ikonia> slakcphil: that's not what I told you to do
[15:49] <ro0ot> i know i was here before....sorry
[15:49] <ikonia> ro0ot: #backtrack-linux
[15:49] <nivyaj> ikonia: it worked. thanks
[15:49] <ikonia> nivyaj: excellent, well done
[15:50] <ro0ot> I got banned for some reason....
[15:50] <ikonia> ro0ot: contact the ops of the channel, the guys in #freenode maybe able to help if you are not sure how
[15:50] <ro0ot> Is there anyone here who could help me...I know this isn't the right room but I would greatly appreciate it
[15:50] <BussDriver> can someone help me manually remove fglrx (the uninstall scripts aren't working), and then ensure I have the open-source drivers installed properly again?
[15:50] <ro0ot> thanks
[15:51] <slakcphil> ikonia, you should not be so arrogant, there are enough arrogant people in this community, I had thought better of you..
[15:51] <ikonia> slakcphil: please find your own way now
[15:51] <ikonia> slakcphil: I gave you advice, explained why your previous test didn't show any errors, and you've ignored it and called me names for advising you correctly, so best of luck
[15:51] <mndo> jurua, nem toda a gente fala portugues aqui / not all knows portuguese around here
[15:52] <mie_maniez> hmm,,
[15:52] <slakcphil> ikonia, you did not say why the two memtest passes told me wrong!
[15:52] <ikonia> slakcphil: I explained to you about you need to leave it for at least 12 hours (when you told me you ran it for 20 minutes)
[15:52] <ikonia> slakcphil: good luck, I don't wish to discuss this further
[15:53] <slakcphil> ikonia, don't be such a fool
[15:53] <jurua> mndo, mas você poderia da esta ajuda

[15:54] <LulzCat> ikonia: racist.
[15:54] <jeagle> Slart: Hey Slart, did you want to see my script? :) Don't make fun of me though, this is my first program with Bash lol. :)
[15:54] <ro0ot> i will leave after that
[15:54] <ikonia> ro0ot: you are not using ubuntu

[15:55] <ro0ot> seriously...
[15:55] <FloodBot1> ro0ot: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:55] <Slart> jeagle: not necessary.. I'm just banging something up that creates that pdfmarks file for you.. then you can use that like in that example I sent the url to.. would that work?
[15:55] <pippo1> !list
[15:55] <jeagle> Slart: OMG I LOVE YOU! :D
[15:56] <jeagle> Slart: I really appreciate the help! You are awesome! :)
[15:56] <Slart> jeagle: I'm not awesome.. I'm bored and I don't want to do the dishes.. this is the perfect excuse =)
[15:57] <jeagle> Slart: haha great! :D

[15:58] <SmartTowel> i need to use wget to download a dir from a ftp.  but i only want to download the directory with ##### as the directory name.  any suggestions?
[16:00] <ts2> SmartTowel: what's the problem then?
[16:00] <OerHeks> SmartTowel, what ftp accepts ###### ??? never heard of that.
[16:00] <p3rror> hello
[16:00] <p3rror> anyone experienced with screen
[16:00] <p3rror> multiuser on
[16:00] <SmartTowel> sorry, i just mean a number
[16:00] <epod> meerkats: you can turn on 'display trash on desktop' in the nautilus control centre, or you could just manually empty your ~/.Trash directory
[16:00] <p3rror> i get this error message Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/8' - please check.
[16:00] <SmartTowel> maybe i should of put 12345 instead
[16:00] <SmartTowel> i think -A option is what i need.
[16:01] <WintersVsUbuntu> hello, how can i install 'telepathy -idle' for InstantMessenger to use IRC in Ubuntu 11 (in this momment im in windows)
[16:02] <compdoc> when you do a sudo apt-get upgrade from the command line, it doesnt tell you that you need to reboot even after a kernel upgrade. Is there some info out there on the web that can tell me what packages require a reboot when they're upgraded?
[16:02] <gulzar> The command {ps -e} lists all the running apps. How to save this list in variable or array and add it in listbox? c , c++ or python any language example will work. Don't know where to ask such question so asked here..
[16:02] <Slart> jeagle: it's looking good.. just some small things left now
[16:03] <xangua> compdoc: the indicator session icon gets red when you need to restart
[16:03] <ikonia> gulzar: #bash
[16:03] <jeagle> Slart: Thank you so much Slart^-^ Take your time, I am in no hurry. :)
[16:03] <gulzar> ikonia: Ok
[16:03] <xangua> compdoc: well when you have to apply the changes, not Need ;)
[16:04] <compdoc> xangua, well, I'm doing this via ssh, so Im not seeing any icons. I know a kernel update requires a reboot, but I was wondering what other updates would require one
[16:05] <epod> compdoc: generally a kernel update is about it.
[16:05] <xangua> compdoc: if it has to do with the hardware it needs a reboot
[16:05] <meerkats> should I assume most of ubuntu users use the ubuntu GUI? no gnome nor kde?
[16:05] <compdoc> ok, thanks
[16:05] <dlentz> meerkats, no
[16:05] <xangua> meerkats: ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu kde
[16:05] <dlentz> xangua, he meant unity vs. gnome-shell
[16:06] <meerkats> a crap sorry
[16:06] <meerkats> yes, I meant unity
[16:06] <abarth1983> !lista
[16:06] <epod> meerkats: gconf-editor used to have the setting you want to put trash on desktop, but I don't know if it's still in gnome3.
[16:07] <Barbariandude> Good evening ladies and gentlemen
[16:08] <dlentz> Barbariandude, good morning ;)
[16:08] <Barbariandude> :)
[16:09] <Barbariandude> Awfully quiet. Has the impossible happened and ubuntu is now bug-free?
[16:10] <OerHeks> Barbariandude, well, bug1 not solved yet.
[16:10] <anonACS> New: Reports that http://www.anti-piracy.be is Tango Down | #Anonymous #OpMegaupload
[16:10] <ikonia> anonACS: that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[16:10] <Barbariandude> True that :P Windows in decline as of MS' latest quarterly earnings, so there is hope
[16:10] <Rango> :P
[16:11] <LJN5> Guys movie player opens up when I insert a DVD. How do I change it to VLC?
[16:11] <ikonia> anonACS: you where told to stop doing that earlier by ljl
[16:11] <style_> hi community !
[16:11] <Barbariandude> style_, o/
[16:11] <style_> yeah ! barbar !
[16:11] <jeagle> AnonACS; You are attaching ACS to your "Anon" name so you are not actually anonymous... :P
[16:12] <Barbariandude> LJN5, Right-click on the file you want to auto-use VLC with, hit use with another application, select VLC and make it the default
[16:12] <LJN5> Ah thanks
[16:13] <Barbariandude> My pleasure
[16:13] <Slart> jeagle: have a look at this.. worked for me when I tried it   http://pastebin.com/MGeFwaTP
[16:13] <molgrum> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810822/ does anyone know which libraries i'm missing?
[16:13] <style_> insomnia with my scanner configuration !
[16:13] <style_> any help !
[16:13] <style_> any help ?!
[16:13] <Barbariandude> style_, whats going on exactly?
[16:13] <Slart> jeagle: save it into a file called something.sh .. keep the pdf's in the same folder and then run it "sh something.sh"
[16:14] <konserw> leave
[16:14] <konserw> join #Megaupload
[16:14] <Barbariandude> brb, making coffee, will read it when I get back style_
[16:14] <jeagle> Slart: Thank you, give me a second to review. :) I might have to add on to it. I have several folders that has several pdf merging files that it might have to itterate through.
[16:14] <Slart> jeagle: ah.. noticed an error.. an empty rm.. try this file instead http://pastebin.com/Cjqs8RuS
[16:15] <style_> i can't scan on epson sx130 !
[16:16] <Barbariandude> style_, You're using simple scan?
[16:16] <NelsonM> anyone know the modern solution for the realtek r8169 vs r8168b ethernet driver problem? Lots of web pages about it, but old data. I'm running ubuntu 11.10 and its 3.0 kernel.
[16:16] <jeagle> Slart: This looks like it will work! I believe I can incorporate it into my code. :)
[16:16] <style_> yeah !
[16:16] <jeagle> so at the end
[16:16] <Slart> jeagle: ah.. then you would have to do some magic on line 11.  $(ls *.pdf)  should return the full path of all the pdf's you want to process.. you can change it to some other command like $(find /somefolder | grep -i pdf) or similar
[16:16] <Slart> jeagle: or just use the loop in your own script
[16:17] <NelsonM> apparently most linux distros install the wrong ethernet driver on this very common realtek 8168b chipset. it's kind of a crazy big bug
[16:17] <jeagle> Slart: So at the end of my script, I have it itterating through each folder, I think i can squeeze this in. :)
[16:17] <jeagle> Slart: yep! :)
[16:17] <jeagle> Slart: I'll stick around here and see if I can get it working. I'll let you know upon my success thanks again so much! :)
[16:18] <Slart> jeagle: you're welcome.. hope you get it working
[16:18] <compdoc> NelsonM, Ive seen issues with some realtek nics
[16:18] <Zurosxeay> hello, what i can do to restore mbr?
[16:18] <Zurosxeay> i lost it
[16:18] <jeagle> Slart: I will! I will not give up! I have gotten this far with your help! :D
[16:18] <Zurosxeay> because it´s complaining with Read error, ideas??
[16:18] <NelsonM> compdoc: the problem here is the wrong driver gets loaded. it's almost compatible, but not quite. ie: eth0 takes 100+ seconds to initialize on boot
[16:19] <compdoc> Zurosxeay, boot the Live CD, and check the smart data with the disk utility
[16:19] <style_> when using simple scan , no device is listed !
[16:19] <Zurosxeay> yes, i did, and im on lcd
[16:19] <Zurosxeay> Livecd
[16:19] <style_> hey barbarian ! any help !
[16:20] <compdoc> NelsonM, I've never realized it actually works after a while. When I have the issue, I use a different nic
[16:20] <ryannathans> how can I edit the timeout for apt-cacher
[16:20] <compdoc> Zurosxeay, open the disk util then. does it see the drive?
[16:20] <t4unt> Hey guys. I'm trying to load ubuntu onto my newly-built computer via bootable usb.
[16:20] <NelsonM> compdoc: yeah, understood. unfortunately this NIC is the built-in one on ASUS Sandy Bridge motherboards. it'd be nice if Ubuntu worked out of the box
[16:21] <NelsonM> t4unt: I just did that, worked great!
[16:21] <Zurosxeay> compdoc: currently smart haves 150 bad clusters, yesterday it was 133 after cleaning ubuntu fs, and before that, 66 bad clusters
[16:21] <Barbariandude> style_, Try some of the stuff here: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.ubuntu-fr.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fpid%3D6164631&act=url
[16:21] <t4unt> NelsonM, great! maybe you could help me out a bit
[16:21] <compdoc> Zurosxeay, you mean reallocated sectors? and the last value is the important one
[16:21] <style_> I will ! many thanks !
[16:21] <Zurosxeay> hmm yeah, that, itś id 197
[16:22] <compdoc> Zurosxeay, you need to recover what data you can, and get a new drive
[16:22] <Zurosxeay> 150 bad clusters it says
[16:22] <Zurosxeay> umm, oh well, is alot of info :(
[16:22] <t4unt> the BIOS recognizes that the usb is connected. I selected "Enter boot menu" (is that was I was supposed to select? and now It is taking quite a long time. Is this normal? Did I approach this correctly?
[16:22] <compdoc> they never go bad when its a good time to go bad
[16:22] <Zurosxeay> compdoc: ok, so i need to replace this disk?
[16:23] <h00k> t4unt: Your BIOS is entering the boot menu, it's trying to figure out devices it can boot from. It hasn't gotten to the USB device yet to even boot Ubuntu
[16:23] <h00k> t4unt: it isn't quite there yet.
[16:23] <compdoc> yes, if you are reading the data right. does Disk Util say the disk is healthy?
[16:23] <compdoc> Zurosxeay ^
[16:23] <Zurosxeay> and what i do with the backup? because of corrupt sectors....
[16:24] <Rango> Hi
[16:24] <compdoc> whatever files are on those bad sectors is going to be corrupted
[16:24] <t4unt> So should it take quite a while? and what happens after It enters the boot menu?
[16:24] <t4unt> ^ h00k
[16:24] <Rango> yo
[16:24] <Barbariandude> t4unt, if your BIOS' boot menu doesn't work right for whatever reason, you could try just changing the boot order (should be a seperate section somewhere)
[16:24] <h00k> t4unt: When it enters the boot menu, it'll show you devices you can boot from.  There you'd pick the USB drive
[16:25] <Zurosxeay> compdoc....
[16:25] <compdoc> Zurosxeay, whatever files are on those bad sectors is going to be corrupted
[16:25] <molgrum> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810822/ does anyone know which libraries i'm missing?
[16:25] <ryannathans> how can I edit the timeout for apt-cacher
[16:25] <t4unt> the boot menu worked quickly when I tested it BEFORE the USB was connected. Should I keep waiting or try another menu?
[16:26] <NelsonM> t4unt: when you get it booting Ubuntu correctly, the first thing you'll see from Ubuntu is a language selection screen
[16:26] <ryannathans> apt-cacher is the biggest crap out
[16:26] <t4unt> thanks NelsonM
[16:26] <Barbariandude> t4unt, boot menu shouldn't be taking that long. I'd say try looking for boot order elsewhere in BIOS
[16:27] <Zurosxeay> compdoc:  yeah, it says that the disk is healthly(smart green circle) and it says, Disk has a few bad sectors
[16:27] <Darkfrost> Still no luck getting Wi-Fi working, been trying for 3 days now ;_;
[16:28] <jAyenGreen_> Confused. Using 11.10. Installed LAMP. Was trying to find why apache error file says no such function as mysql_connect. I see that the extensions directory only has pdo.so, the config.d file only mentions pdo.so, and the php.ini file doesn't list any extensions at all
[16:28] <PhonicUK> hey all, for some reason my post-up lines in /etc/network/interfaces aren't running on 11.10 Server
[16:28] <Zurosxeay> compdoc: only, the read error rate is non-zero vaule and it says  good? lol why? and yes, id 197 says warning
[16:28] <Zurosxeay> compdoc?
[16:29] <compdoc> Zurosxeay, ok, but if the numbers of sectors is growing as you say, it will be showing red soon. In any case, I replace the drive if there's more than one or two bad sectors. The drive is going bad. I repair computers for a living, and Ive seen this a lot
[16:29] <Barbariandude> jAyenGreen_, you might have more luck in #apache
[16:29] <jAyenGreen_> Barbariandude: perhaps... but I was thinking it might be a package issue
[16:29] <jAyenGreen_> seems to be a php problem, not an apache problem
[16:30] <jeagle> Slart: Well, it looks like it is working, however, It appears as though the chapters might be a little off, for example each starting file the chapter goes maybe +1 or +2 pages ahead, It could be that my pdf view sucks lol
[16:30] <Zurosxeay> ok,how it can be that the disk is corrupted too soon??
[16:30] <jeagle> Slart: Instead of chapter names, I need them to be the filenames, is that possible? :)
[16:30] <mang0> Empathy messenger tells me I have a new contact request for my MSN acct. How do I accept it from Empathy? I can't find it listed anywhere!
[16:31] <Slart> jeagle: hmm.. you can check with "pdfinfo  somefile.pdf" and see how many pages it reports.. see if it matches the actual number of pages you see in a pdf viewer
[16:31] <compdoc> Zurosxeay, in Disk Util, youre reading the Value data? And not Normalized or Worst?
[16:31] <Zurosxeay> compdoc yes, \
[16:31] <compdoc> k
[16:31] <jeagle> Slart: ok I'll check! :)
[16:31] <compdoc> its going bad
[16:31] <medfly> I am trying to install ubuntu on an eeepc and it goes to initramfs when I boot up with the usb stick.
[16:31] <medfly> what am I supposed to do with that?
[16:32] <WintersVsUbuntu> a useless question, what is the meaning of 'sudo'
[16:32] <Slart> jeagle: sure.. change   [/Title (Chapter $ChapterNumber)   to   [/Title ($ChapterNumber. $f)  or something else..($f was my variable for the filename).. you can add other stuff if you want.. just be careful with weird characters like åäö and such
[16:32] <Zurosxeay> compdoc: ok, i got to go, i come later, ok?
[16:32] <_Neytiri_Eywa_> sense
[16:32] <jeagle> Slart: So far it's looking good! woot! I'm excited about this! I couldn't have done it without you! :)
[16:32] <compdoc> sure
[16:32] <compdoc> good luck
[16:33] <Zurosxeay> see you :)
[16:33] <jeagle> Slart: RIght, I have another script that replaces any odd characters and empty spaces :)

[16:34] <guest1234> Is ndiswrapper wi-fi specific or can it be used tolaod windwos driver for audio, printers etc?
[16:35] <mang0> Empathy messenger tells me I have a new contact request for my MSN acct. How do I accept it from Empathy? I can't find it listed anywhere!
[16:35] <Slart> jeagle: I have to go now.. I'll be back later tonight. Catch me then if you have more questions or just ask in the channel... there are more bash-nerds sneaking around
[16:35] <jeagle> Slart: ok Slart! Thank you so much again, I appreciate it! :)
[16:36] <Slart> jeagle: you're welcome.. it was fun.. and I didn't have to do the dishes =)

[16:39] <RiXtEr-Home> is there a faster way than du -hc to check the size of a directory?
[16:39] <RiXtEr-Home> non gui that is.
[16:39] <t4unt> I only have 2 USB ports right now. Before I get a splitter.....is there a way I can use my keyboard as my mouse, so that I can use 1 port for the OS USB and one port for the wifi adapter?
[16:40] <epod> t4unt: some keyboards have usb ports built in them for mice, etc.
[16:40] <t4unt> Mine doesn't, it's an older molde, epod.
[16:40] <t4unt> I'm not sure if Ubuntu supports keyboard as mouse,  as windows does.
[16:41] <epod> t4unt: then all you could do is get a hub or new keyboard, or use accessability settings to use keyboard keys to move your mouse pointer, but... that's inefficient.
[16:41] <epod> t4unt: oh if thats what you want, yes, its in accessability settings I do believe
[16:41] <t4unt> that's where I looked earlier :\
[16:41] <style_> hi barbarian !

[17:21] <ts2> Gon: the only guide I know of is the Ubuntu one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[17:21] <blitz> I downloaded, and tar'd it
[17:21] <blitz> untard
[17:21] <zagibu> there is either an install script, a ready executable, or you have to compile and install manually
[17:22] <Gon> ts2: this tutor telling to install bluez-utils
[17:22] <blitz> it's a ready executable, where should I put it
[17:22] <ts2> Gon: no it doesn't, it says "bluez python-gobject python-dbus"
[17:24] <CJRamze> Hi All, I have a problem and I was wondering if anyone could help Its Java related if there are any experts out there?
[17:24] <blitz> just ask
[17:25] <Gon> ts2: ok, this is automatically install in maverick??
[17:25] <ts2> Gon: all those things should probably already be installed, yes
[17:26] <auronandace> Gon: you may want to install blueman too
[17:26] <CJRamze> I've installed Ubuntu on my work machine as basically I want to move away from Windows and the servers we support use have an IPMI interface (Like KVM) that uses a Java applet to connect. It downloads a small file which you then open, it will open a java based window and connect through that. However under Ubuntu it seems to get stuck at 0% when opening and (I assume) authenticating and I suspect its a java issue but I'm not sure what to check or how to
[17:26] <CJRamze>  check java logs
[17:27] <blitz> do you have openjdk
[17:27] <ryannathans> CJRamze: are you using openjdk or sun java
[17:27] <CJRamze> Open JDK, I've not tried official Sun Java. Should I try that first?
[17:28] <ryannathans> CJRamze: well, removing openjdk and installing official has fixed all my problems
[17:28] <Daxter> im trying to upgradea corei5 machine that previously used 9.10 to 10.04, but it has random keyboard and mouse freezes. I tried disabling irqbalance but that didnt work, suggestions?
[17:28] <CJRamze> Ah I see. Ok, I'll try that first. Probably should of tried that before bothering peoples :) Be right back. Thanks
[17:28] <blitz> CJRamze, http://paste.ubuntu.com/810897/
[17:28] <auronandace> Daxter: fresh install instead of upgrade
[17:28] <ryannathans> python-software-properties?

[17:29] <Gon> aouranandace: this automatically install in maverick??
[17:29] <Daxter> hate ubuntu upgrades
[17:29] <blitz> that's how to install the sun jdk using apt-get by using another repo
[17:29] <auronandace> Gon: no, sudo apt-get install blueman
[17:29] <CharminTheMoose> Does the initrd get removed after the change to the real root or does it sit in RAM forever?
[17:31] <Daxter> anyone?
[17:31] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: You don't understand what initcpio/initrd does, do you
[17:32] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: initrd is loaded in order to load the proper kernel modules, i.e. device drivers, after which it's gone from the RAM pretty much
[17:33] <CharminTheMoose> I get what the initrd is for, I just didn't know it magically removed itself afterwards.
[17:33] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Well, some distros keep it forever (becuase they intend to run from RAM)
[17:33] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Not the case with Ubuntu
[17:34] <CharminTheMoose> Ah, that's cool, cheers. :)
[17:35] <Daxter> anyone know the tweak fgor getting hidden menu working in grub on multi-os systems? i did this before in 9.1 with someone threadd but he updated it and now the tweak he lsits is garbage for 10.04
[17:35] <jrib> !grub | Daxter
[17:35] <t4unt> Hi, I just got Ubuntu loaded about half an hour ago, and it's I'm new to this OS. I'm using this newly-built computer for Bitcoin Mining, and I was told to use either poclbm miner or cgminer, but I'm having difficulty installing either of them on my machine.
[17:36] <macroevolve> hi guys - i was looking at scraping loads of information from the web.  I am new with all of this and am not very familiar with how Ubuntu works, etc..  Currently, the way I scrape is that I have 5 PCs (windows based) just running the scripts.  I want to scle up and have two servers sitting here unused (each have 10 1TB drives, 16GB ram, and quad core processor)... Unfortunately I don't know
[17:36] <macroevolve> where to begin, or even what to ask someone I want to hire to do.  My intention is to have each virtual machine created be under a VPN to hide my personal IP address.  Hopefully someone could point me int he right direction on what I should be looking for/best way to do this
[17:36] <m4k> auronandace: sorry. N/W problm
[17:36] <auronandace> Daxter: i think you just edit /etc/default/grub
[17:36] <auronandace> m4k: ??
[17:36] <philipballew> macroevolve, your running a server?
[17:37] <Daxter> there was a script conditional you had to disable to get it to work... jusat which one now....
[17:37] <macroevolve> philip:  yes I have 2... they are kind of just sitting here doing pretty much nothing
[17:37] <m4k> auronandace: sorry, n/w problem. I'm Gon
[17:37] <auronandace> m4k: oh
[17:37] <macroevolve> philip:  i have 6 pcs at home.. one i am using now.. the other 5 are scraping data.. i am thinking that there must be a better way to do this then to have my scripts run one per physical PC.. it takes a lot of space too
[17:39] <m4k> auronandace: yeh, i will contact you later. Now im not in computer room. I'm chatting from my mobile
[17:39] <DragonSlay> i've installed enlightenment recently and didn't like it. so unistalled it. how can i get back my previous window manager in gnome?
[17:43] <auronandace> DragonSlay: unity? gnome3? or gnome2?
[17:43] <theadmin> DragonSlay: Metacity (or Compiz) should autostart in Gnome.
[17:43] <DragonSlay> auronandace, gnome2
[17:43] <DragonSlay> theadmin, it didn;t,
[17:43] <auronandace> DragonSlay: compiz --replace
[17:43] <auronandace> i think
[17:43] <zagibu> blitz: if the software extracts to a self-contained folder, and there is no install script, simply move the folder wherever you want
[17:43] <theadmin> DragonSlay: metacity --replace &disown
[17:43] <auronandace> sorry, metacity for gnome 2
[17:44] <theadmin> auronandace: Compiz works with any desktop, so that would do
[17:44] <auronandace> theadmin: if he has it installed
[17:44] <zagibu> blitz: and if you want the executable to be globally available in the console, place a softlink to it in /usr/local/bin or so
[17:44] <theadmin> auronandace: Ubuntu used to default to Compiz if drivers were working properly iirc
[17:44] <theadmin> auronandace: At least in 10.04
[17:46] <DragonSlay> theadmin, thanks, it worked.
[17:46] <alteregod> so again
[17:48] <soulux0-usb> quit
[17:49] <mielot> anyone having problems with rtl8191se in oneiric?
[17:49] <macroevolve> hi guys - wanted to see if anyone might have an answer to the above
[17:49]  * mielot 
[17:50] <Daxter> mielot: i use rtl8192su (iirc) seems to wrk fine (i say this cause in 10.04 i use rtl8191se drivers for it)
[17:57] <p1k3> Hello! I installed Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity, however I didn't like it and wanted to remove it and install XFCE using this guide http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce . There weren't any error messages but when I rebooted, the desktop doesn't load. Stucks at Checking battery state...
[17:57] <Tixos> hi, can someone explain how i can see /.marcomedia/Flash_player
[17:57] <Tixos> i cant open the DIR, and i cant SU to root frmo ubuntu ?
[17:58] <paoloubuntu> !list
[17:58] <auronandace> !root | Tixos
[17:58] <Tixos> yes i know that
[17:59] <Tixos> but you cant 'sudo cd'
[17:59] <ubuntu1234> If I need to manually setup the /etc/fstab, the third entry which points to the fs-type can be entered as defaults?
[17:59] <auronandace> Tixos: have you enabled seeing hidden folders in the file manager
[17:59] <p1k3> Tixos: sudo su
[17:59] <Tixos> lol
[17:59] <jasef> Tixos, or sudo -i
[17:59] <gui113> Tixos: just try "sudo su", and the make the "cd..."
[17:59] <auronandace> p1k3: please don't advise that
[17:59] <Tixos> thanks
[17:59] <rcmaehl> I have a question. I have 2 network cards in my PC. One is intergrated, the other is an expansion card. Is it possible to allow the expansion card to be used so taht I can hook another pc to the expansion card via ethernet and taht pc will have internet access from the ethernet cable that is connected to the intergrated card. Basically can I use the expansion card to hook another pc to the network through my pc?
[17:59] <Tixos> shh auronandace
[18:00] <Tixos> not everyone is incapable
[18:00] <Daxter> rcmaehl: set the cadr you want to shar enbet access with ,the method so "shared with other computers" in network manager settings
[18:00] <Daxter> bad grammar day
[18:00] <ubuntu1234> Please guys answer my question
[18:01] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: pastebin your fstab
[18:01] <Daxter> right click network icon, chosse edit settings, the card you want to share access with set its method to shared with other computers
[18:01] <Daxter> ubuntu1234: question was?
[18:01] <rcmaehl> Daxter: O_O is it really that easy>?
[18:01] <Daxter> rcmaehl: yes i do this myself actually
[18:01] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: I am setting it up now
[18:01] <ubuntu1234> I am reading the fstab man page and doing it manually
[18:02] <ubuntu1234> I have encountered a problem with running the installation scripts through the 11.04 DVD
[18:03] <rcmaehl> ubuntu1234: DVD or liveusb?
[18:03] <ubuntu1234> I have manually completed the copying of the filesystem
[18:03] <ubuntu1234> rcmaehl:
[18:03] <ubuntu1234> rcmaehl: DVD
[18:03] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: so essentially you now have a frugal install?
[18:03] <ubuntu1234> I am completing the setup of the /etc/fstab manually
[18:03] <rcmaehl> auronandace: what's frugal mean?
[18:03] <blitz> thanks zagibu, and if I wanted to be able to run it via a command how would I put in on my path
[18:04] <ubuntu1234> and I will install grub on the MBR of the first HD manually too
[18:04] <Daxter> so rcmaehl set your expansion card to to 'shared with other computers'... they will be named as eth0 and eth1, use ifconfig in terminal to figure out which card belongs to which eth*
[18:04] <rcmaehl> Daxter: I know which card is which
[18:04] <zagibu> blitz: like I said, put a softlink in /usr/local/bin
[18:04] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: What is frugal ?
[18:04] <blitz> that'll do it automatically?
[18:04] <rcmaehl> Daxter: the card that is the expansion card is not connected to the internet
[18:04] <blitz> thanks
[18:05] <Daxter> yeah
[18:05] <mie_maniez> pulseaudio ----- >> E: main.c: Daemon startup without any loaded modules, refusing to work.
[18:05] <mie_maniez> how i can fix it?
[18:05] <rcmaehl> also is there a linux distro that is small enough to run from a floppy disk?
[18:05] <Daxter> just figuring out which card is which eth* is the trick... as networkmaanger goes by eth* not 'interal' and 'expansion' card
[18:05] <DragonSlay> theadmin, when i log out and log in , metacity won't start by default, is there any option to set metacity to default
[18:05] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: you copied the live environment to a harddrive instead of installing normally (using a live system as a harddisk install is frugal)
[18:06] <theadmin> DragonSlay: Just add "metacity --replace" to startup apps
[18:06] <rcmaehl> I got to go
[18:06] <Krenair> How do I install OpenJDK 7 on Ubuntu 11.04?
[18:07] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: That is exactly what I have done
[18:07] <Krenair> Looks like it wasn't added to the natty repos...
[18:07] <t4unt091> Is there a guide to how I can install a bitcoin miner on my Ubuntu machine?
[18:07] <ubuntu1234> I have some experience with installing gentoo and lfs so It is not a problem for me to do it.
[18:07] <Daxter> Krenair: i thought v7 isnt released yet you have to add it manually
[18:07] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: why didn't you install like normal?
[18:07] <DragonSlay> theadmin: ok..
[18:07] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: the installation process crashed.
[18:08] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: at what point?
[18:08] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: In copying the filesystem
[18:08] <ubuntu1234> It asked about the user information
[18:09] <Krenair> Daxter, JDK 7 reached General Availability on 28 July 2011.
[18:09] <ubuntu1234> and started to copy the filesystem
[18:09] <ubuntu1234> but it didn't finish
[18:09] <ubuntu1234> I had to manually do it.
[18:09] <connor_> Sup, I'm using XFCE and I accidentally stopped xfwm4 from starting when I log in, as a result, I can't focus any windows to type in a terminal to start xfwm4, how on earth would I get it started?
[18:09] <Daxter> hmm but still i thought java7 was still in testing..hmm have to look again
[18:09] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: hmm, odd, have you checked the harddisk for faults?
[18:09] <Krenair> Daxter, I was pretty sure that oneiric users can get it from the repos...
[18:10] <Daxter> hmm
[18:10] <ubuntu1234> I have done mount -o bind /dev /target/dev and mount -o bind /proc /target/proc
[18:10] <Daxter> !java
[18:10] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: I have no HD errors
[18:10] <ubuntu1234> It has completed the process normally with the bare cp CLI
[18:12] <Krenair> Daxter, that does not cover OpenJDK 7
[18:12] <connor_> Got it restarted, I was able to type into firefox so I typed xfwm4 in the search bar, pressed alt f2 and copy pasted the text into there and had it run from a terminal
[18:12] <ubuntu1234> I need to manually setup 3 things: 1- the /etc/fstab, 2- Manually add my user information, 3- Manually install the boot lader.
[18:12] <ubuntu1234> loader
[18:12] <Daxter> right
[18:13] <Daxter> i typed that for myself lol
[18:13] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: Am I right?
[18:13] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: if you have experience with setting up gentoo and lfs i find it rather difficult to believe you are stuck on setting up fstab
[18:14] <ubuntu1234> I am not stuck, I am trying to make it like professional that is all.
[18:14] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: see?
[18:14] <ubuntu1234> so are the 3 steps right?
[18:15] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: i understand, but if the installer didn't finish i get the feeling that apt is going to be royally messed up
[18:15] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: so how to correct the apt problem from the chroot?
[18:15] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: i have no idea sorry :)
[18:16] <acu> Is anyone using BackupPC ? _ I wonder if there one can Search for a specific file which was backed up - Fom the cgi-bin (web interface) - by choosing the host of interest - there is a Browse Backup option which allows you to browse through the name of folders and files backed up - but I am looking for search function - I want to find a file and I do not know where it is ? Can anyone help ?
[18:16] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: i'm more of an archlinux guy so pacman is more my style than apt
[18:16] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: your point can be right and can be wrong though since the db would be copied.
[18:17] <b1tbkt> in ubuntu livecd, what's responsible for creating the "install ubuntu" desktop icon? specifically, if I want to modify the RELEASE var that is called in the corresponding .desktop file, where would I do that?
[18:17] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: that is done after the user info, if i recall correctly, so if you need to manually add users chances are you'd need to fix apt
[18:18] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: if i were you i'd start over again and try with the alternate installer if the gui one is giving you trouble
[18:20] <guntbert> ubuntu1234: did you md5sum check the iso?
[18:21] <ubuntu1234> It is correct since it was downloaded by torrent.
[18:21] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: so you did ms5sum the iso?
[18:22] <auronandace> md5sum
[18:22] <phw> How can I get a serial console (server) on ubuntu?
[18:23] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: It is a recent problem and I didn't encounter this problem except today and I didn't md5sum the iso image.
[18:23] <ubuntu1234> It is on DVD now and I don't have the iso image anymore.
[18:23] <sx> quit
[18:23] <zgr> guys what key reveals grub menu? shift?
[18:23] <ubuntu1234> zgr: Esc?
[18:24] <ubuntu1234> zgr: Any key?
[18:24] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: have you installed it from that dvd before without problems?
[18:24] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: Yes
[18:24] <auronandace> zgr: yes, shift
[18:24] <ubuntu1234> I have checked it too through the Menu.
[18:25] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: oh, then the image is probably ok (unless the disk has been badly scratched since)
[18:25] <zgr> ok thanks
[18:25] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: I honestly don't know.
[18:26] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: how many times has the gui install failed?
[18:27] <ubuntu1234> 3 times
[18:28] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: ok, i'd try the alternate installer
[18:29] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: I am having trouble with booting with the DVD though. I have done another way of downloading the CD isoimage for 11.04 and will put it on a usb flash.
[18:30] <ubuntu1234> and will use it for installation if the problem persists.
[18:30] <auronandace> ubuntu1234: sounds like the dvd is rather bad
[18:30] <ubuntu1234> auronandace: That is what I thought.
[18:31] <graft> ubuntu1234: did you checksum your DVD image after downloading?
[18:32] <ubuntu1234> I wonder why do non-brand DVD get scratched and the ones used by good companies don't do so frequently.
[18:32] <ubuntu1234> graft: I didn't need to do so since I have downloaded it via torrent.
[18:32] <prooz> What is wrong when i get Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory when i try to send sound through my device as a regular user, but it works fine with root? Yes, the user is in the audio group
[18:32] <ubuntu1234> which does the checking automatically.
[18:32] <jutnux> ubuntu1234: Why not put it in USB?
[18:33] <ubuntu1234> jutnux: I don't have the iso image anymore.
[18:33] <ubuntu1234> :(
[18:35] <grendal_prime> hey guys

[18:47] <Mark__> INSTALL FUCKING GENTOO YOU GAY FAGGOTS
[18:47] <sskalnik> grendal_prime:  The tire pressure joke. No idea on the actual problem you need help with, unfortunately.

[18:48] <grendal_prime> ya sightlight good distro...but ummm might want to go with 10.04 at least
[18:48] <sweb1> my cron not work every minutes
[18:48] <sweb1> https://gist.github.com/1648962
[18:48] <sweb1> why
[18:48] <sweb1> crontab -e
[18:48] <jasef> Thanks, Myrtti. I didn't want to pull the ops trigger in case I wasn't supposed to :) you saved me the trouble
[18:48] <theadmin> sweb1: You need "/usr/bin/wget", not just "wget"
[18:49] <llutz> sweb1: "1 * * * * .."  is h+01 every hour, not every minute
[18:49] <theadmin> sweb1: Also, that's not every minute, that's "every first minute", which is pretty much "every hour"... Every minute would be */1
[18:50] <mang0> I'm trying to set up gwibber on ubuntu 11.10, but I can't seem to add an acct correctly. When I try to add my twitter acct, I put in my user/pass to authenticate etc, but then I don't get any updates on my timeline, just a blank screen. The same with Facebook. What'm I doing wrong?
[18:50] <sweb1> */1 * * * * is correct ?
[18:50] <jrib> sweb1: the /1 is redundant
[18:50] <theadmin> sweb1: Yes, that will do -- you want something like */1 * * * *  /usr/bin/wget --spider http://localhost/action
[18:51] <theadmin> jrib: Oh, indeed, lol
[18:51] <jasef> What is libreoffice-l10n-common? I'm getting an autoremove option for it.
[18:51] <asaint> hello guys I updated to 11.10 recently and I want to use the old gnome desktop ........... how can i do that?
[18:51] <theadmin> jasef: As the name suggests, common files for libreoffice localiztion.
[18:51] <auronandace> asaint:you don't
[18:51] <auronandace> !gnome2 | asaint
[18:51] <theadmin> asaint: You can't. Try Xubuntu.
[18:51] <mang0> asaint: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback iirc
[18:52] <mang0> check online though
[18:52] <theadmin> mang0: Doesn't work in Oneiric
[18:52] <ubluntu> !nounity
[18:52] <theadmin> mang0: Gnome2 ain't supported you know
[18:52] <jasef> theadmin, so is it safe to perform autoremove on it? It's also suggesting I remove libnl2, and flashplugin-downloader, but I know what the last one is.
[18:52] <sweb1> jrib, theadmin, llutz: ty guys
[18:53] <theadmin> !info libnl2
[18:53] <theadmin> jasef: Eh... might be a bad idea to remove that one
[18:53] <mang0> theadmin: Ah, oky
[18:53] <jasef> Then... I wonder why it's letting me auto-remove it.
[18:53] <asaint> is there anyway to have the look at least like customizing the start menu ......... etc
[18:54] <theadmin> jasef: Some dependency mess. Do: sudo apt-get install libnl2 flashplugin-downloader (you sure it's "downloader", not "installer"?)
[18:54] <grendal_prime> ok pcmcia started working?
[18:54] <grendal_prime> werid
[18:54] <grendal_prime> but ill take what i can get
[18:54] <t4unt091> install python-pyopencl subversion.  --- what does this mean?
[18:54] <grendal_prime> i did install some laptop utils
[18:54] <grendal_prime> maybe it was in there
[18:54] <FloodBot1> grendal_prime: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:54] <theadmin> jasef: That will make it marked as "manually installed", and as such apt won't autoremove it
[18:54] <jasef> Nope, it definitely says downloader. Is that plugin just for Firefox, btw?
[18:55] <theadmin> jasef: Any browser with NPAPI support (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface). That means Firefox, Chrome/Chromium, Opera, many others.
[18:55] <asaint> repeating >is there anyway to have the look at least like customizing the start menu ......... etc
[18:55] <auronandace> asaint: in unity and gnome3? don't hold your breath
[18:56] <jasef> theadmin, oh... I thought Chrome had built-in flash. Ah well, the dependency problem is probably because I'm on 12.04, thanks for your help
[18:56] <theadmin> jasef: Chrome does have built-in flash, but it still supports NPAPI
[18:56] <theadmin> jasef: So I have no reason to take it out of the list
[18:57] <asaint> auronandace so the alternative is KDE
[18:57] <jasef> theadmin, okay, I just didn't know, that's all. Didn't mean any offence.
[18:57] <auronandace> asaint: my favourite is xfce (lxde is rather nice too)
[18:58] <theadmin> asaint: XFCE is closest to Gnome2.
[18:58] <theadmin> jasef: None taken\
[18:58] <asaint> auronandace never logged on to any of the one you mentioned before I will try them ..... am not a fan of KDE
[18:58] <theadmin> Bah, damn backslash key >.<
[18:59] <jasef> theadmin, =) alright, cool.
[18:59] <t4unt> is this reversible ?  -sudo apt-get remove nvidia-common
[18:59] <jasef> I hate asking another question so soon, but was just updating and got an error at the end that said "WARNING: gnome-keyring:: no socket to connect to", is this something to worry about?
[18:59] <jasef> t4unt, sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
[18:59] <asaint> auronandace - theadmin thanks
[19:00] <t4unt> thanks
[19:00] <theadmin> jasef: Probably yes, if you DO use gnome-keyring. By the way, Precise is not supported here, go to #ubuntu+1
[19:00] <auronandace> asaint: no worries :)
[19:01] <inet> [regex:(?i)joined]
[19:01] <jasef> theadmin, alright, thanks. I'll go ask them to make sure it's all working. Sorry for posting here, just did it because I did notice it in 11.10 when I had it too
[19:04] <Ivoz_> how would you find out which users are in a particular group?
[19:04] <theadmin> Ivoz_: groups USERNAME
[19:05] <anonimoteste> hi
[19:05] <theadmin> Ivoz_: Oh, sorry
[19:05] <Ivoz_> theadmin: no, I want the other way around
[19:06] <grendal_prime> this is why i lover ubuntu...
[19:06] <Ivoz_> users GROUP doesn't work though, I don't think :P
[19:06] <grendal_prime> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man4/ep.4freebsd.html
[19:06] <grendal_prime> search for the word Joke in there
[19:06] <grendal_prime> or better yet pencil
[19:06] <theadmin> Ivoz_: lid -g groupname
[19:09] <WinnerForEver> How do  I get the free deskspace and information about my partitions from the terminal?
[19:10] <graft> grendal_prime: wtf
[19:10] <graft> WinnerForEver: df
[19:11] <graft> WinnerForEver: or df -h
[19:11] <grendal_prime> graft?
[19:11] <carbon_> If I needed the dependency libqtcore4.  What would the full library package be.  Or where could I look it up to specifically say this dependency is in this package. Install this (x) developer package
[19:11] <graft> grendal_prime: that pencil thing...
[19:11] <grendal_prime> oh the line about the nic not working
[19:11] <grendal_prime> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man4/ep.4freebsd.html
[19:12] <graft> grendal_prime: yeah i read it, that's why i said wtf :)
[19:12] <grendal_prime> on that page there is a diagnostic error
[19:12] <grendal_prime> ya
[19:12] <grendal_prime> its funny hu
[19:12] <oCean> graft: please don't use such language/acronyms here
[19:12] <grendal_prime> i mean where use but ubuntu man pages to you get that sort of honesty
[19:12] <grendal_prime> they should actually put the wtf in the manual
[19:12] <RF14> what is ubuntu ?
[19:12] <grendal_prime> oops sorry
[19:12] <oCean> grendal_prime: not laughing, stop it
[19:13] <grendal_prime> ok sorry
[19:13] <WinnerForEver> graft: Thanks, it worked!
[19:13] <grendal_prime> hey RF14 i was told you can check your tire pressure with it
[19:13] <t4unt> hey guys I just made a good deal of changes in terminal
[19:13] <t4unt> but i'm running ubuntu from a bootable usb. one of the commands called for sudo reboot
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> grendal_prime  wrong channel
[19:13] <t4unt> were all my changes lost?
[19:13] <graft> carbon_: you probably want to install the package libqtcore4, eh
[19:13] <carbon_> rf14: I thought it was a rectal exam
[19:13] <RF14> i'm serious what is ubuntu ?
[19:14] <graft> t4unt: what kind of changes?
[19:14] <carbon_>  graft:  Thats the package name itself.  Oh
[19:14] <dlentz> carbon_, libqt4-dev
[19:14] <MonkeyDust> RF14  ubuntu is an operating system that makes your hardware work
[19:14] <user1> Hey, how are you
[19:14] <RF14> MonkeyDust: ok
[19:14] <tensorpudding> most of your hardware works most of the time, anyway
[19:14] <tensorpudding> ubuntu makes no guarantees
[19:15] <ix_> how do I check a liveusb for defects? made with unetbootin
[19:15] <carbon_> dlentz: much obliged
[19:15] <tensorpudding> unless your hardware was certified to work with ubuntu
[19:15] <t4unt> trying to install a miner
[19:15] <user1> Anybody can help me? i try to RUN MS-DOS application netword under ubuntu
[19:15] <t4unt> sudo apt-get update
[19:15] <grendal_prime> RF14: if you want to use linux start with ubuntu.. it will probaly handle what ever you want to do...including desktop publishing and media editing..but there are several linux distrobutions if it does not focuse on what yo uneed
[19:15] <t4unt> sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
[19:15] <graft> t4unt: a bitcoin miner?
[19:15] <t4unt> then installed some drivers
[19:15] <t4unt> graft, yes
[19:16] <user1> Anybody can help me? i try to RUN MS-DOS application network under ubuntu. I can't :(
[19:16] <t4unt> ok well, I guess everything was lost
[19:16] <MonkeyDust> user1  try wine
[19:16] <t4unt> because "fglrxinfo" returns "command not found"
[19:16] <sdferfx> Hello. I am trying to run KGPG from Unity. It doesn't seem to be working. It doesn't add a tray icon and I can't see it. Can you please tell me how to make KDE apps work correctly with Unity?
[19:17] <user1> I have wine, but it not work for me :(
[19:17] <RF14> grendal_prime: i'm not using linux
[19:17] <carbon_> user1:  try dosbox.  As for networking threw it.  Never tried.
[19:17] <theadmin> user1: Uhhh, dosbox?
[19:17] <theadmin> user1: Works well for DOS stuff
[19:17] <user1> MonkeyDust, Dosbox too
[19:17] <user1> and dosemu
[19:17] <user1> :(
[19:17] <theadmin> Hm.
[19:17] <tensorpudding> application network?
[19:17] <tensorpudding> what does that mean?
[19:18] <user1> the error for dosemu its: ERROR: MFS: couldn't find root path /media/CDROM
[19:18] <tensorpudding> you can use virtualbox or qemu to virtualize a pc, and install ms-dos in the machine
[19:18] <user1> I have a server WINServer2003Pro
[19:18] <user1> And a unit shared
[19:19] <user1> I mount thah unit in Ubuntu, i can read dis partition mounted
[19:19] <user1> but when i try to run msdos application
[19:19] <tensorpudding> they both have a not-too-hard-to-set-up NATed networking option that allows one-way access
[19:19] <graft> t4unt: why would everything be lost?
[19:19] <t4unt> Can anyone help me? Is it possible to run a bitcoin miner on a Ubunut machine which is running on a bootable-usb?
[19:19] <graft> t4unt: oh, if you're running from USB, yeah, you probably lost it
[19:19] <tensorpudding> user1, "partition mounted" being some kind of SMB share?
[19:19] <t4unt> graft, becasue the OS isn't saved to a hard disk?
[19:20] <t4unt> damn :\
[19:20] <graft> t4unt: unless you setup your USB disk to have some save space
[19:20] <Daxter> t4unt: with bootable usb you can set it to save changes with the usb creator app in ubuntu
[19:20] <sdferfx> Anyone? It has to be a common question. I need KGPG tray to work in Unity.
[19:20] <graft> t4unt: which you can do, the USB creator will guide you through it
[19:20] <user1> The partition i mounted with SMB
[19:20] <t4unt> ok thanks I'm going to try taht now
[19:20] <t4unt> that*
[19:20] <tensorpudding> user1, have you tried running dosbox with the partition that you mounted using SMB being the C: drive?
[19:21] <user1> thensourpid, yes
[19:21] <tensorpudding> user1, what happened?
[19:21] <user1> not show me nothing in terminal
[19:23] <user1> with dosemu: Show me -- ERROR: MFS: couldn't find root path /media/CDROM
[19:23] <dlentz> sdferfx, do any other kde/qt apps work with unity tray?
[19:23] <user1> i can change this path?
[19:23] <tensorpudding> user1, shows you nothing?
[19:23] <tensorpudding> user1, so the program crashed?
[19:24] <tensorpudding> really, the simplest way, if you have a license, is to virtualize some OS that the app is known to run on
[19:25] <graft> user1: yeah virtualbox is free and works great, if you have a windows license
[19:25] <sdferfx> dlentz, yes, odesk team works with unity tray
[19:25] <sdferfx> I have not tried any other Qt/KDE apps
[19:25] <grendal_prime> grendal_prime: = vcp  (just incase you are looking for advice on virtualization)
[19:25] <user1> tensorpudding: when i try this: mount c /mnt/cres show this message. Directory /mnt/cres doesn't exist.
[19:26] <user1> graft: i have licence
[19:26] <grendal_prime> what is the app you want to run?
[19:26] <jdiggy> I want to check whether Upstart is installed with a script. Any ideas? So far, my best idea is to check the output of `init --version`
[19:27] <user1> i try to run a aplication for bussines. It's very simple
[19:27] <graft> user1: yeah just go with virtualbox, the networking should work seamlessly, uses native libraries, much better than trying to get dosbox or wine working
[19:27] <graft> user1: what's the application?
[19:27] <user1> one time ago run good
[19:28] <graft> user1: wine is unreliable that way, they're always fiddling with the libs
[19:28] <user1> my english is bad :(
[19:29] <sdferfx> how do I get unity to tile?
[19:29] <sdferfx> i try dragging window to the left edge of screen and it just sits half off-screen
[19:29] <user1> libs?
[19:29] <user1> all libs?
[19:30] <tensorpudding> user1, does that directory exist on your system?
[19:30] <inet> VER
[19:31] <graft> user1: never mind... just try virtualbox
[19:31] <Guest79653> hello
[19:32] <graft> huh... grooveshark runs in HTML5 now?
[19:33] <user1> thank you
[19:34] <user0> hi
[19:36] <user0> i installed ubuntu 10.4. i put my usb on my computer it does not appear to open it???
[19:37] <graft> user0: you might have to change your boot order in your BIOS
[19:39] <dlentz> sdferfx, do you have appmenu-qt package installed
[19:40] <dlentz> ..and sni-qt?
[19:42] <sdferfx> dlentz, no
[19:42] <sdferfx> unless they were installed automatically when I installed either odesk team viewer or kgpg
[19:42] <sdferfx> appmenu-qt is already the newest version. sni-qt is already the newest version.
[19:42] <sdferfx> so yes
[19:45] <dlentz> sdferfx, this is the closeest thing i could find

[19:45] <regedarek> hey
[19:45] <ShishKabab> I think something on my network is messing with my DHCP. Weird addresses which don't work are handed out. If I take a static address, everything works. Does anyone know of a tool I can use to send a fake DHCP request so I can check with Wireshark who responds?
[19:45] <regedarek> i`m looking for the cheapest VPS
[19:46] <renemoraes> my print screen is returnin only a black screen with the mouse cursor... can anyone help me?
[19:47] <northernen> My Unity sidebar only covers half the screen (height wise). What can be the issue?
[19:47] <regedarek> reinstall ubuntu
[19:47] <renemoraes> i'm using ubuntu 11.10 gnome 3
[19:50] <Inventor> hola
[19:50] <Inventor> Hay alguien en español
[19:50] <Inventor> estoy intentando instalar ubuntu
[19:50] <Inventor> sobre windows
[19:51] <Inventor> y mi ignorancia me rebasa!!!!
[19:51] <Inventor> resulta que descargué
[19:51] <Inventor> el wubi
[19:51] <renemoraes> @Inventor cual verson? y cual maquina?
[19:52] <Inventor> 11.10
[19:52] <Inventor> la máquina es armada
[19:52] <Inventor> y el procesador es un atlhon II
[19:52] <Inventor> 3.0 G
[19:52] <renemoraes> queres intalalo sobre windows?
[19:52] <Inventor> De cualquier forma
[19:52] <Inventor> de haecho intenté bajar varias opciones
[19:53] <dlentz> northernen, see if playing with this key in gconf-editor helps /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/launcher_hide_mode
[19:53] <Inventor> dice en la página que se puede hacer un CD de arranque
[19:53] <dlentz> try setting to 1
[19:53] <Inventor> parece que además del Wubi
[19:54] <Inventor> hay que bajar una imagen del programa, es asi?
[19:54] <Inventor> al arrancar el wubi
[19:54] <Inventor> dice que no hay nada en el disco 1, 2, 3 y 4
[19:55] <renemoraes> si, un instante
[19:56] <Inventor> no te preocupes
[19:56] <Inventor> voy escribiendo el relatorio y luego lo ves de un solo jalón....
[19:56] <Inventor> tampoco soy muy rápido con el teclado
[19:57] <Inventor> el punto es que me generó un archivo de registro de error
[19:58] <renemoraes> @Inventor - Nunca he usado wubi. La mejor manera de instalar Ubuntu para mí es hacer un CD de instalación. descargar la versión de ubuntu y grabar en un CD con Nero o cualquier programa de Windows. Luego, inserte el CD y reinicie el equipo.
[19:58] <Inventor> y lo que pude entender es que está buscando un CD o una imagen (archivo
[19:58] <Slart> !es
[19:58] <Inventor> OK
[19:59] <Inventor> ahora las descargas estan super lentas (5 horas dice el sistema)
[19:59] <Inventor> lo intentaré
[19:59] <Inventor> Gracias ubottu
[19:59] <Inventor> lo tendré en cuenta
[19:59] <Slart> this channel is english only.. go to #ubuntu-es if you want to use spanish
[19:59] <jdiggy> I want to check whether Upstart is installed with a script. Any ideas? So far, my best idea is to check the output of `init --version`
[19:59] <Inventor> have you some problem with spanish
[20:00] <Inventor> make some strange in your sistem???
[20:00] <renemoraes> can anyone help me with a print-screen problem?
[20:00] <jrib> jdiggy: why do you want to check that?
[20:00] <Slart> Inventor: I don't have a problem.. but the channel policies says "english only" for this channel
[20:00] <Inventor> OK

[20:04] <Tucks> I need some advice
[20:04] <jrib> EzeQL: you need -dev versions of libraries if you want to compile with them, you should look into apt-get build-dep, more info at ubotut's link
[20:04] <regedarek> anybody knows where i find cheap VPS
[20:04] <angelo_> How can i download?
[20:04] <jrib> jdiggy: try #upstart maybe
[20:04] <jdiggy> jrib: there's an idea. Thanks. :)
[20:04] <northernen> dlentz, it's not auto-hiding. It's just the bottom part seems to be missing, so the top half thinks it's at the bottom.
[20:04] <Daxter> weird renemoraes not sure what to tell you? did you update your graphics cdrivers( if any)
[20:04] <jrib> regedarek: not here

[20:22] <bioShark> hello
[20:22] <shizuo16> This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates.

[20:26] <mithrop> hi here (again)
[20:27] <mithrop> I'm looking on a way to simply give a try to Gnome. I'm in XFCE right now.
[20:27] <Humbedooh> EzeQL, libc is called libc.so.6 fx, if it is version 6
[20:27] <dimas_> Myrtti, wine is not a good option to install windows inside ubuntu?
[20:27] <mithrop> If I install ubuntu-desktop, I will have a lot of useless packages, isn't it ?
[20:27] <Humbedooh> wine isn't windows
[20:27] <Myrtti> dimas_: no. it's impossible to install that way.
[20:28] <LjL> dimas_: WINE doesn't let you "install Windows in Ubuntu". it lets you run some Windows programs from inside Ubuntu.
[20:28] <EzeQL> Humbedooh ty
[20:28] <dimas_> Myrtti, sorry then as i thought i had done it before
[20:28] <DJones> shizuo16: There's a section in the ubuntu documentation on how to install windows after you've installed Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot

[20:29] <allu2> could someone using gnome-shell try to run "teeworlds" game in full screen and see if i'm not the only one it doesn't work as should.

[20:32] <DJones> shizuo16: You need to create a partition for windows to install to first using gparted etc and format it as NTFS
[20:32] <shizuo16> DJones: got it ?
[20:32] <shizuo16> DJones: ahha
[20:33] <downbeam> is there a list of terminal terms somewhere?
[20:33] <trism> KashyapGada: press Esc first
[20:33] <andy4> i just don't want ubuntu to mount or even search for other disks on boot time
[20:34] <DJones> shizuo16: You'll need to boot up with a livecd first to so that you can shrink your ubuntu partition and create the NTFS partition in empty space, BUT I'd recommend a backup first before modifying your partitions
[20:34] <trism> KashyapGada: although if you are editing a system file, you may not have write access so you will probably need to use sudo vim /path/to/file
[20:34] <downbeam> is there a list of terminal terms somewhere?
[20:34] <bullgard6> downbeam: Hardly. You better look out for a similar subject's list of terms.
[20:34] <KashyapGada> trism: Thanks i was not pressing esc
[20:34] <KashyapGada> now it works
[20:34] <shizuo16> DJones: Easy for me please
[20:34] <auronandace> !terminal | downbeam
[20:35] <andy4> anyone?
[20:35] <shizuo16> DJones: WHY should i boot up with a live cd ? and i already have ubuntu installed ?
[20:35] <shizuo16> DJones: AND how can i backup
[20:35] <DJones> shizuo16: You can't modify your partition table if the drive is in use, so you need to use an ubuntu livecd or a gparted livecd to boot from before doing the changes
[20:36] <DJones> !backup | shizuo16
[20:36] <Slart> andy4: ubuntu doesn't, by default, mount anything but the system drive on boot.. if having that hard drive connected keeps you from booting it's not that.. perhaps it reorders the hard drives or something else
[20:37] <shizuo16> ubottu: well thanks Mr ubottu
[20:38] <shizuo16> DJones: So i have to reboot with liove cd and install gparted  and modify
[20:38] <ManDay> Which command allows me to install a .deb file?
[20:39] <Slart> ManDay: gdebi might work.. if I remember correctly
[20:39] <auronandace> ManDay: where did you get the deb file from?
[20:39] <shizuo16> !backup | DJones
[20:39] <ManDay> Isn't apt capable of that, or one of its cousins?
[20:39] <ManDay> auronandace: propritary software, teamviewer.com
[20:39] <auronandace> oh
[20:39] <DJones> shizuo16: gparted should be included on the livecd by default
[20:39] <auronandace> ManDay: i think you need to use dpkg
[20:40] <ManDay> auronandace: ill try
[20:40] <DJones> shizuo16: Possibly called "Partition manager"
[20:40] <ManDay> damn, no manpags installed
[20:40] <shizuo16> DJones: Xd UBOTTU IS a real bot i tought he was kidin
[20:40] <ManDay> anyone know the dpkg command by heart to install a .deb?
[20:40] <Slart> ManDay: didn't even find gdebi on my system any more.. so dpkg it is then.. command line only
[20:40] <alkafoo> ManDay: -i
[20:40] <alkafoo> for i-nstall, I dare say
[20:40] <ManDay> thanks!
[20:41] <ManDay> alkafoo: I would never have guessed...
[20:41] <ManDay> :P
[20:41] <shizuo16> DJones: well i have to delet a partition with gparted
[20:41] <alkafoo> pretty easy to find from man dpkg, too
[20:41] <ManDay> alkafoo: Happen to know how I make dpkg automatically resolve deps?
[20:41] <ManDay> (of the deb)
[20:41] <DJones> shizuo16: There should be an option to resize/shrink a partition rather than deleting one
[20:41] <alkafoo> but why are people installing something from a deb?
[20:41] <Kerdni> Hei!
[20:41] <guntbert> how can I access the indicator area (unity) without a mouse?
[20:41] <alkafoo> ManDay: not sure that's dpkg's job
[20:41] <Kerdni> I have tiny problem!
[20:42] <Kerdni> I want join that server:  irc.rizon.net
[20:42] <Kerdni> But I do not know how?
[20:42] <ManDay> oh, great, yet another dependency unresolvable
[20:43] <alkafoo> Kerdni: hit CTRL+s
[20:43] <ManDay> What the hell does that even mean:
[20:43] <jutnux> Kerdni: This is not a place for IRC support
[20:43] <robbit10> Just switched over to Kubuntu but made the mistake of doing an apt-get autoremove inbetween the removal of ubuntu-desktop and installation of kubuntu-desktop.. now the authentication part is broken. What package do I need to install to fix it? kdesu?
[20:43] <alkafoo> Kerdni: look for it on the list on the left, if it isn't there make a new entry
[20:43] <Slart> Kerdni: depends on what irc-client you're using.. try reading the help file/man page or similar for it
[20:43] <ManDay> "It's required but it's not going to be installed?" Apt-get really is a pain in the arse
[20:43] <alkafoo> jutnux: and your next message is going to explain to him how to join the right channel? =P
[20:43] <Slart> ManDay: apt usually has a reson for doing that.. perhaps not a good reason but still a reason
[20:44] <shizuo16> DJones: didn't really understand
[20:44] <ManDay> Slart: apt-get doesn't tell me its reasons though
[20:44] <ManDay> It just says "cant"
[20:44] <ManDay> thats why I hate it.
[20:44] <DJones> shizuo16: I've got to go away from the computer, good luck getting your dual boot system working, if you have problems, ask generally in the channel, I'm sure people will be able to help you
[20:44] <hateb> ubuntu 12.4 will require new install or upgrade from previous version gone be possible ?
[20:44] <Slart> ManDay: nope.. it's usually very vague.. but digging around in the dependencies usually reveal something.. something that doesn't work out or similar
[20:45] <alkafoo> hateb: theoretically from upgrade
[20:45] <shizuo16> DJones: all right thanks mr DJones
[20:45] <jutnux> alkafoo: No, it isn't.
[20:45] <alkafoo> jutnux: no what isn't?
[20:45] <robbit10> Just switched over to Kubuntu but made the mistake of doing an apt-get autoremove inbetween the removal of ubuntu-desktop and installation of kubuntu-desktop.. now the authentication part is broken. What package do I need to install to fix it? kdesu?
[20:45] <shizuo16> DJones: only last thing i have to resize partition then deleted with ntfs
[20:45] <shizuo16> DJones: right ? ..
[20:45] <alkafoo> robbit10: what's the error you get?
[20:46] <trism> ManDay: apt-get -o=Debug:pkgProblemResolver=yes install foo; gives a bit more info and can sometimes be useful
[20:46] <DJones> shizuo16: resize partition, then format the empty space as NTFS for windows
[20:46] <van> moving coursor around screen takes cpu usage up to 100%. is it normal? lubuntu, installed yesterday, cpu 1,7ghz pentium 4.
[20:46] <shizuo16> DJones: ALL right ty again ^_^
[20:46] <ManDay> My freaking goodness, what the hell is "teamviewer6"
[20:46] <alkafoo> shizuo16: if you're going to install Windows, you don't necessarily have to format it just make the space and Windows' installer will be able to format it
[20:47] <ManDay> It is a windows executable?!
[20:47] <ManDay> Including wine!?
[20:47] <alkafoo> ManDay: =)
[20:47] <robbit10> alkafoo: Something along the lines of "Not authenticated"
[20:47] <ManDay> I thought there was a teamviewer linux version?!
[20:47] <auronandace> ManDay:  that is the linux version
[20:47] <trism> ManDay: sorry forgot a colon, Debug::pkgProblemResolver
[20:47] <ManDay> sick, its just sick. it disgusts me...
[20:47] <alkafoo> robbit10: from what command?
[20:47] <auronandace> ManDay: it uses its own version of wine
[20:47] <guntbert> !enter | ManDay
[20:47] <alkafoo> auronandace: and sometimes it even works =)
[20:48] <auronandace> ManDay: i agree, it is awful
[20:48] <robbit10> alkafoo: For example, the Additional Drivers application.
[20:48] <alkafoo> although I've never actually had any problems with it if you install wine
[20:48] <zhownx> hello... I want to use wget to download files recursively... say that http://foo.bar/abc1.html and I want to download all files from abc1.html to abc30.html... any idea?
[20:48] <robbit10> alkafoo: but other applications as well, hold on, let me check
[20:48] <psycko> yo
[20:48] <robbit10> alkafoo: The firefox installer
[20:48] <RandLAT> Banging my head against the wall setting up "java" in Ubuntu 11.10, or more precisely openjdk-6-jdk and maven2. What are the correct JAVA_HOME and M2_HOME?
[20:48] <alkafoo> zhownx: curl 'http://foo.bar/abc[1..30].html' -o 'abc#1.html'
[20:49] <bullgard6> [Ubuntu 11.10, GNOME Shell 3.2.1] How can I determine if Gwibber is running or not?
[20:49] <guntbert> zhownx: this is not really an ubuntu problem, is it - and you might want to read      man wget...
[20:49] <shizuo16> alkafoo: sorry was reading in the web site
[20:49] <Rod_> Gnome masked as Unity = pain
[20:49] <Rod_> How dare the Canonical Team make this available...it's HORRIBLEEEE!
[20:49] <alkafoo> psycko: yo
[20:49] <alkafoo> bullgard6: pgrep -l wibb
[20:49] <zhownx> alkafoo, thanks.. I'll try it... =)
[20:49] <shizuo16> alkafoo: thanks for info
[20:50] <alkafoo> Rod_: most distros customize GNOME, and have for some time
[20:50] <auronandace> Rod_: don't use it then
[20:50] <zhownx> guntbert, sry... I'm just newbie, and try so far with wget, and someone give me solutions with curl
[20:50] <robbit10> alkafoo: Additional Drivers and the firefox installer.
[20:50] <guntbert> zhownx: :)
[20:51] <Rod_> @alkafoo Exactly, but to bring it together with Unity is not customizing..it's called D E S T R O Y something  good and turning it into something HORRIBLEEEARGH >.<
[20:51] <malkuth> I am attempting to install the 11.10 version of ubuntu, and am having a problem with the display.
[20:51] <young> Is it possible on 11.10 to move the unity side bar, and make it a bottom bar
[20:51] <zhownx> guntbert, I have no curl installed... do you have any idea with wget?
[20:51] <zhownx> guntbert, or just curl can do it..? :D
[20:51] <bullgard6> alkafoo: '~$ pgrep -l wibb; 2319 gwibber-service; 2378 gwibber-service; 2379 gwibber-service'. This means that Gwibber is running. Right?
[20:52] <alkafoo> bullgard6: I'd say so
[20:52] <Rod_> A taskbar that does not move = windows 95's epic error. thanks canonical for bringing it back one more time ¬¬
[20:52] <alkafoo> bullgard6: though it doesn't guarantee it's performing properly
[20:52] <northernen> Is there a way for tee to direct stdout to one file, and stderr to another?
[20:52] <bullgard6> alkafoo: Thank you.
[20:52] <auronandace> young: possible yes, advisable no, it will break things
[20:52] <alkafoo> Rod_: what you don't like about Unity you probably really don't like about GNOME _3_
[20:53] <Kerdni> I tryed to add rizon.
[20:53] <young> auronandace thank you, was just curious
[20:53] <Rod_> alkafoo Speak it OUT I didn't get it.
[20:53] <Kerdni> But every time I add server there is balnk after i click close.
[20:53] <malkuth> Is there a configuration file for lightdm to select display mode?
[20:54] <guntbert> zhownx: wget will do fine,     wget -r   URL       (for recursive) but you really should look into the manpage   - thats why I said 'man wget'
[20:54] <alkafoo> Rod_: what you don't like about Unity is in reality almost certainly stuff you don't like about the new version of GNOME, version 3
[20:54] <alkafoo> Rod_: so to complain only about Unity and not about GNOME is not particularly useful
[20:54] <alkafoo> zhownx: sudo apt-get install curl, done
[20:54] <robbit10> alkafoo: It goes wrong when something called qapt-batch is executed
[20:55] <robbit10> alkafoo: It gives the error "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided"
[20:55] <alkafoo> robbit10: ok, hold please
[20:55] <Rod_> alkafoo Nah man it's not that...I used to use Ubuntu 9/10.xx Interface and I love the GNOME way. Also, what I don't like is the KDE way, that's for sure.
[20:56] <Rod_> kde = too much make-up-based-UI
[20:56] <tessarakt2> I don't like the bullshit way
[20:56] <tessarakt2> all this desktop bloatware
[20:56] <tessarakt2> network managers storing their settings in an SQL database via a config daemon
[20:56] <LjL> Rod_, alkafoo, tessarakt2: please tae the non-support talk to #Ubuntu-offtopic
[20:56] <alkafoo> Rod_: I'm afraid it is that, those version of Ubuntu used an older version of GNOME, 2 not 3
[20:57] <bullgard6> !language | tessarakt2
[20:57] <Rod_> LjL how dare you talk like that? UNITY HAS TO DO WITH UBUNTU, so this is not off-topic...
[20:57] <robbit10> alkafoo: I found a thread that might have the solution: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3119488.0 -- brb, logging out and in.
[20:57] <hexacode> hey you guys. how do i use --print-uris  in apt-get ?  i want to check the md5 of certain packages
[20:58] <hexacode> i tried apt-get install --print-uris apache
[20:58] <LjL> Rod_: this channel is strictly about Ubuntu *technical support*, not anything that "has to do with Ubuntu"
[20:58] <LjL> Rod_: so please calm down and either continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic, or don't
[20:58] <alkafoo> --print-uris is the right param
[20:58] <robbit10> alkafoo: Yup! That solved the problem :)
[20:58] <alkafoo> robbit10: what did?
[20:58] <hexacode> alkafoo:  but what if i dont want to install. i just threw install in there to get the command to work
[20:59] <robbit10> alkafoo: It's a dependency problem in hte kubuntu-desktop package. The package "polkit-kde-1" should be installed, but it's not.
[20:59] <hexacode> i just want to check the md5's of the packages at the specified uri
[20:59] <mongy> Rod_, try xfce then. (xubuntu)
[20:59] <alkafoo> hexacode: it doesn't work without 'install'?  Hopefully it will block 'install' from actually installing, then, that's what the man page suggests
[20:59] <LjL> Rod_: ok, i see you aren't listening. see you in #ubuntu-ops if you want to discuss your ban
[21:00] <alkafoo> robbit10: ah, okay good to know
[21:00] <hexacode> alkafoo: thanks
[21:00] <hexacode> ill try
[21:00] <LjL> eek
[21:01] <alkafoo> hexacode: should ask you for confirmation even if it does try to install
[21:02] <malkuth> Am I actually posting here?
[21:02] <LjL> malkuth: yes
[21:02] <alkafoo> malkuth: good question
[21:02] <grip> I love watching noob questions scroll by in a swift manner.
[21:02] <grip> <3
[21:03] <hexacode> thanks alkafoo  lol i thought it was gonna download it lol but it showed me what i needed. thanks
[21:03] <LjL> grip: which is made swifter by irrelevant commentary... :|
[21:03] <grip> exactly
[21:03] <grip> it's wonderful
[21:03] <malkuth> Basically, when lightdm attempts to start up, it flashes the screen and eventually presents the login prompt. When I log in, it flashes the screen a few more times and presents the login prompt again.
[21:04] <guntbert> !noob > grip
[21:04] <malkuth> I can go into a tty (ctl/alt/f1) and get a cli window so I could make changes, if I knew what changes to make.
[21:04] <grip> LOL NICE BOT
[21:04] <robbit10> malkuth: I had that 30 minutes ago, after an install of Kubuntu. What did you remove/install?
[21:05] <alkafoo> malkuth: try choosing the failsafe graphical boot option from the login screen
[21:05] <LjL> !caps > grip
[21:05] <malkuth> This is a new install.
[21:05] <grip> lmfao
[21:05] <grip> these bots
[21:05] <grip> so good
[21:05] <robbit10> malkuth: of Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[21:05] <LjL> grip: please keep this channel about Ubuntu support *only*.
[21:05] <malkuth> Ubuntu 11.10
[21:05] <grip> if jesus made irc bots, they would be the exact likeness of ubotu
[21:05] <grip> ok
[21:05] <grip> help
[21:06] <malkuth> I had to use the alternate install, as live cd and webu would not work.
[21:06] <fil_> hello .. is this the right place to ask some questions about the 'at' scheduler ?
[21:06] <grip> my programs arent working help
[21:06] <malkuth> (same problem)
[21:06] <alkafoo> fil_: there are worse places
[21:06] <carbon_> does anyone know if clonezilla will clone easily an image to different sized hard drive.?
[21:06] <grip> help help my programs arent working, woe is me
[21:06] <robbit10> malkuth: It's probably an error in the configuration for LightDM. Other than that, i can't help you further. Sorry. Ask the others in this chat.
[21:06] <alkafoo> carbon_: #clonezilla might know
[21:06] <alkafoo> grip: ?
[21:07] <grip> yes hello
[21:07] <carbon_> yeah good call
[21:07] <LjL> grip: if you want to be at least a little bit serious with your trolling, then ask a specific question.
[21:07] <grip> ugh
[21:07] <grip> i really dont
[21:07] <grip> its just that you guys get so serious and tight
[21:07] <fil_> does anyone hava an idea on why the scheduler 'at', though it accepts the command to be run and the time, the command is not run as scheduled?
[21:08] <fil_> also, the name 'at' makes it quite difficult to really check the web
[21:08] <archcub> I'm going to be installing Ubuntu on my desktop that's primarily going to be functioning as a server(LAMP, uPNP, file/print, etc), but I also will be using it to play media(both videos and music). It's an old system and want to be able to run Blackbox as my WM. Would it be easier to user Server Edition and install X and Blackbox or Desktop and put all the server stuff on there?
[21:09] <alkafoo> fil_: only because search engines suck =)
[21:09] <alkafoo> fil_: what command did you run?
[21:11] <fil_> first command : at 23:15 , i press enter, it shows at> , i write vlc , enter, control+D, everything ok... then i type atq and the job is listed as : 10	Fri Jan 20 23:04:00 2012 a fil ...but it never starts
[21:12] <thechef> Hmm
[21:12] <guntbert> fil_: have a look at http://aplawrence.com/Unixart/cron.html
[21:12] <alkafoo> fil_: 23:04 is before 23:15, isn't it?
[21:13] <alkafoo> oh reversed =P
[21:13] <alkafoo> fil_: I usually do echo 'some command' | at 2315
[21:13] <alkafoo> fil_: also for VLC you'd have to specify DISPLAY to get it to work, since it's a GUI app
[21:14] <alkafoo> probably your issue
[21:14] <fil_> alkafoo: wrong copy paste.... the times were correct (thats not english but you get the point)
[21:14] <alkafoo> yeah
[21:14] <alkafoo> DISPLAY=:0 vlc
[21:14] <fil_> alkafoo : i also tried it with scripts commands like 'date'
[21:15] <alkafoo> right, but it just runs the command, it doesn't output to some random terminal you have open
[21:15] <alkafoo> you'd have to tell it to do that
[21:15] <alkafoo> try an audio command
[21:15] <alkafoo> you will hear it happen regardless of where the output is
[21:15] <alkafoo> regardless of whether X is running, etc.
[21:15] <fil_> alkafoo: let me check
[21:15] <malkuth> Note, the system (syslog) reports segfault in metacity and libXi.so.6.0
[21:16] <malkuth> So, am I just out of luck with running 11.10 of Ubuntu?
[21:16] <fil_> alkafoo : sh*t, the display thing worked with vlc... much appreciated... any idea, perhaps, on how to run a script ??
[21:16] <alkafoo> malkuth: unless you can fix it
[21:17] <alkafoo> fil_: sure, if you want to explain just what it is you mean to accomplish
[21:17] <zhownx> alkafoo, guntbert, thanks I got it with wget... wget url/abc{1..10}.txt ... thx =)
[21:18] <guntbert> !yay | zhownx
[21:18] <alkafoo> !yay | ubottu
[21:18] <alkafoo> heh
[21:19] <pedza> i need help
[21:19] <Jimu> Is there a command I can give to determine if I'm currently using Gtk 2.0 or Gtk 3.0?
[21:19] <pedza> im trying to set up a wireless hotspot for my android mode
[21:19] <fil_> alkafoo : i have written a C program that prints on screen data from imdb, it works in a terminal.. i have put it in usr/local/bin so it will be executed as a command.. and in general i would like to run scripts with console output at specific times...
[21:19] <pedza> *phone
[21:19] <pedza> and its not visible to my phone
[21:20] <guntbert> !enter | pedza
[21:20] <pedza> k
[21:22] <alkafoo> Jimu: dpkg -l | grep -i gtk, probably
[21:22] <alkafoo> Jimu: if you're using Unity or GNOME 3, you will definitely have GTK+ v3, AIUI
[21:23] <Jimu> alkafoo: thanks!
[21:24] <pedza> im trying to set up a wireless hotspot for my android phone and when i do its invisible to my android phone.
[21:24] <alkafoo> pedza: using what device?
[21:25] <pedza> samsung galaxy mini
[21:25] <alkafoo> what's the point in giving one phone wifi from another phone?
[21:26] <pedza> i have a wired connection and i want to create a wifi hotspot with my laptop so i can have wifi on the phone
[21:26] <Night-hacks> what's the ls -c  ?
[21:27] <Night-hacks> infact whats status change time ?
[21:27] <alkafoo> Night-hacks: I believe that is explained in man ls, next to -c
[21:28] <Night-hacks> alkafoo: really dont understand what it means !!
[21:28] <jocke-l> Night-hacks: it IS explained in man ls
[21:28] <black-rider> c isn't count?
[21:28] <alkafoo> it's explained in plain English, is what I meant
[21:29] <butti> hi
[21:29] <adrian> hej
[21:29] <Night-hacks> alkafoo: i mean so what's difference with ls -l !
[21:29] <black-rider> it  count the number of repertory no?
[21:29] <Night-hacks> and ls -c ?!
[21:30] <black-rider> (-c)

[21:31] <Pepp-elito> Hi I,m having some problems with resolutions in ubuntu I have a new marantz receiver with hdmi, but nvidia/ubuntu will only let me set 640x480 as max res. anyone who knows how to fix this?
[21:31] <Timmmm> Help! I've run out of disk space and when I tell nautilus to empty the rubbish bin it does nothing.
[21:31] <graft> butti: sudo chown -R
[21:31] <Guest17231> no widze własnie hehe
[21:32] <graft> butti: sudo chown will just change the root directory, you want to change the whole thing presumably
[21:32] <Myrtti> !pl | Guest17231
[21:32] <Timmmm> Even worse, the growl notification thing is saying something, but it isn't aware of multiple monitors so it is off the screen and I can't see what it says!
[21:32] <Timmmm> Argh!
[21:32] <Timmmm> A bug twofer.
[21:32] <butti> graft: i have one patrtition which is my storage partition but i have no permission
[21:32] <graft> Timmmm: can't you just use rm in the shell?
[21:33] <Timmmm> graft: Yeah, but I can't remember where the trash is. The internet says ~/.Trash but that isn't right.
[21:33] <Myrtti> !trash
[21:33] <auk>  sudo chown -R  = Dangerous command when used in a certain directory.
[21:33] <auk> butti: Just so you know.
[21:33] <graft> butti: yeah... so if you want to be able to use some directory, you need to do chown user:group /directory/where/its/mounted
[21:33] <Timmmm> Myrtti: Haha, thanks. The bug is so common that you've made an IRC shortcut.. :-P
[21:34] <graft> butti: but, yeah, don't do that on the root directory or anything
[21:34] <auk> graft: What directories?
[21:34] <auk> o_O
[21:34] <graft> auk: he has some mounted partition he wants to be able to write to
[21:34] <butti> graft: no..that is no root directory. so: chown -R?
[21:34] <auk> I would just write using a root user...
[21:34] <Pepp-elito> Hi I,m having some problems with resolutions in ubuntu I have a new marantz receiver with hdmi, but nvidia/ubuntu will only let me set 640x480 as max res. anyone who knows how to fix this?
[21:35] <auk> That's extremely weird.
[21:35] <graft> auk: maybe he wants to be able to write there as a regular user, that's a perfectly acceptable use case
[21:35] <graft> butti: yeah sudo chown -R etc.
[21:35] <graft> butti: err, to be clear, sudo chown -R user:group /mount/point
[21:35] <alkafoo> sometimes you only need to chown the directory you're going to mount to
[21:36] <fil_> alkafoo: any ideas on what i want?? or perhaps a link somewhere??
[21:36] <auk> graft: Not exactly, on the condition it's an operating system directory (external os assuming it's unixish),
[21:36] <alkafoo> fil_: must've missed it can you resend?
[21:36] <auk> Hmm, I just know theres a better safer way to do ths. Lol/
[21:36] <pedza> alkafoo
[21:36] <pedza> any idea for the hotspot thing?
[21:36] <butti> graft: thank you!
[21:37] <graft> auk: well, if there's no permissions in that filesystem it shouldn't matter anyway
[21:37] <fil_>  alkafoo : i have written a C program that prints on screen data from imdb, it works in a terminal.. i have put it in usr/local/bin so it will be executed as a command.. and in general i would like to run scripts with console output at specific times...
[21:37] <v2> how can i remove "-r" file with rm command please ?
[21:37] <auk> graft: On that condition, yes.
[21:37] <Timmmm> Ok, well I found where all my disk space went. The following file is 62 GB! Wtf?! /lib/modules/3.0.0-15-generic/modules.ccwmap
[21:37] <theadmin> v2: rm ./-r
[21:37] <graft> fil_: you're familiar with cron, right?
[21:38] <v2> theadmin: ty
[21:38] <urlin2u> fil_, where were you when I took the 7 film classes, and used IMDB alot, lol.
[21:38] <auk> The reason I prefer to just write as root is because... I will not need to worry about permissions and such, knowing that "Writing as another user does not change ownership OR permissions".
[21:38] <melvster> what the ... i just updated my system and ive lost half of my workspaces and my screen resolution is broke :(
[21:38] <alkafoo> fil_: which specific times?
[21:38] <fil_> graft: 'at' is better suiterd for what i need...
[21:38] <alkafoo> fil_: you using libaosd or something?
[21:39] <graft> fil_: okay, so use at
[21:39] <fil_> urlin2u: lol...
[21:40] <fil_> alkafoo: by specific times i mean when the user wants.. the display and vlc advice was perfect.. but for a console command/app ??
[21:40] <melvster> some kind of unity update?
[21:40] <alkafoo> fil_: where is the output meant to show?
[21:40] <fil_> alkafoo: in a terminal
[21:40] <meerkats> in ubuntu GNOME GUI, not classical, I cannot turn off the machine, there is no "shut down" option, just a "log out". This "log out" effectively shuts the laptop. However, next time I turn it on, I will only get a black screen. I must then reboot the machine to be able to log in again
[21:41] <alkafoo> fil_: maybe tail -n 1 -f a log file?
[21:41] <meerkats> plus, in GNOME classical, the bottom bar wont list the programs I use, thus, changing from one app to other is impossible
[21:42] <alkafoo> fil_: why in a terminal, that seems less useful
[21:42] <MadHaTTrr> How would one upgrade GRUB from 1.98 to 1.99?
[21:43] <MadHaTTrr> and aptitude is broken
[21:43] <jocke-l> alkafoo: the terminal us unix strongest tool
[21:43] <rich> i want to buy a tablet, but first i was wondering can ubuntu run on a tablet.
[21:43] <fil_> alkafoo: sorry, but what u just wrote made no sense to me ... as for the terminal, well, because i have scripts which need to be run with user input at times
[21:44] <alecbrooks> MadHaTTrr: Is apt-get working?
[21:44] <fil_> alkafoo: for the gui apps, i suppose display works for most of them... (i am checking now)
[21:44] <MadHaTTrr> no
[21:45] <bluenemo_> do i have to use the alternate cd to automize installation via preseeding?
[21:45] <urlin2u> rich, you might want to find tablets and check ubuntu capability is ease, but yes ubuntu can.
[21:45] <urlin2u> is=in*
[21:45] <alkafoo> fil_: okay, well you'd either have to run the command from an open terminal, or I suppose you could have an at job that will _open_ a terminal _and_ run a specific command
[21:46] <Timmmm> Dammit, Ubuntu is being full-of-bugs today. So modules.ccwmap is meant to be a one-line text file, but had somehow grown to 62GB. I deleted it, and now du / says I have plenty of space, but df -h still says I have 0 bytes free. W. T. F.
[21:46] <alkafoo> jocke-l: not for viewing metadata while you watch video it isn't
[21:46] <alkafoo> otherwise I agree
[21:47] <guidol> is it me, or are the update/upgrade servers down?
[21:47] <rich> urlin2u_ so you can actually interact with it by touching the screen, you wouldnt need a keyboard or mouse
[21:47] <alecbrooks> MadHaTTrr: The easiest solution is probably to fix apt-get, then update GRUB.
[21:47] <fil_> alkafoo: so, if i got this right, you suggest to schedule a script which opens a terminal and runs the command i want
[21:47] <alecbrooks> MadHaTTrr: Or is there some reason that would be especially difficult?
[21:47] <jocke-l> alkafoo: what kind of metadata
[21:48] <graft> Timmmm: if there's open file descriptors df won't report correctly...
[21:49] <graft> dang, just missed him
[21:49] <crazybyte> hi! tonight I updated a server that has ubuntu 11.10 (server edition) installed on it. all the storage is on lvm. for some reason (until now unknown for me) i cannot boot it any more. it complains that one of the lvm volumes that contains the mai system is degraded and cnnot be booted, but when i boot from a sysresc cd everything seems find (all the lvm volumes are active and functioning and all the fs (ext4) are fine). can somebo
[21:49] <crazybyte> dy be so kind to help me figure this out because i'm fresh out of ideas.
[21:49] <plouffe> rich, this guy seems to be doing it http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&v=MErL7FslBjU
[21:49] <alkafoo> fil_: that's one option
[21:49] <alkafoo> fil_: maybe if you said a little more about what you're doing we could come up with something better
[21:50] <plouffe> rich, at about 3:00
[21:52] <plouffe> rich, or check this (no mouse or keyboard) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEhetGMWVdI
[21:53] <enikm4> how do i get my wireless card to work?
[21:53] <enikm4> i can see it if i use lspci
[21:54] <mrdeb> hi all
[21:54] <enikm4> Intel Corporation Pro/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2]
[21:54] <mrdeb> we notice ubuntu 1110 is much slower  on netbook pc tahn ubuntu 1104
[21:54] <mrdeb> 1004
[21:54] <mrdeb> y
[21:54] <Phun5tar> apt-get isn't the only thing broken, but I need GRUB to work properly first so I can use an ext HDD to fix the rest
[21:54] <Pepp-elito> Hi I,m having some problems with resolutions in ubuntu I have a new marantz receiver with hdmi, but nvidia/ubuntu will only let me set 640x480 as max res. anyone who knows how to fix this? e.g how to add resolutions in xorg.conf, i have trieed but they wont show...
[21:54] <urlin2u> mrdeb, not here.
[21:55] <mobal> hy
[21:55] <enikm4> Pepp-elito, you have your graphic driver installed and configured properly?
[21:55] <Phun5tar> and by "broken", I mean it's useless because that partition is unable to access the network
[21:56] <Pepp-elito> yes ubuntu 11.10 with nvidia 280.??
[21:56] <enikm4> Phun5tar, i don't understand what grub has to do with mounting an external HDD
[21:56] <RandLAT> Banging my head against the wall setting up "java" in Ubuntu 11.10, or more precisely openjdk-6-jdk and maven2. What are the correct JAVA_HOME and M2_HOME?
[21:56] <enikm4> Phun5tar, unless you need to boot from that HDD
[21:56] <Phun5tar> when I use my ext HDD, it uses GRUB 1.99
[21:56] <Phun5tar> my internal has 1.98
[21:56] <Phun5tar> and each time I boot to my ext, my linux partition is gone on my internal
[21:57] <enikm4> Phun5tar, so either boot to your external and downgrade your grub
[21:57] <enikm4> Phun5tar, or do the opposite and upgrade your internals grub
[21:57] <Phun5tar> ^^
[21:57] <Phun5tar> that's my question
[21:57] <urlin2u> Phun5tar, have you run update-grub on the external OS?
[21:57] <alecbrooks> Phun5tar: You could try using a livecd to update GRUB.
[21:57] <Pepp-elito> enikm4, yes ubuntu 11.10 with nvidia 280.?? and nvidia settings but no option for resolution over 640x480
[21:57] <rich> plouffe_ thanks
[21:57] <Phun5tar> update-grub does not fix the problem
[21:58] <Phun5tar> I could use a LiveCD, but I don't want to waste another CD as I'd have to redownload/burn
[21:58] <urlin2u> Phun5tar, so how are you booting the external?
[21:58] <Phun5tar> I'm in a situation where I don't have spare CD's
[21:58] <alecbrooks> Phun5tar: What about booting from a flashdrive?
[21:58] <Phun5tar> plug it in, poweron
[21:58] <enikm4> Phun5tar, can i ask why you have 2 separate boot partitions?
[21:59] <urlin2u> Phun5tar, please tab nics so we know who your answering,
[22:00] <Phun5tar> I used to be able to boot to Windows/Ubuntu 10.04, or 11.10 if I have my ext plugged in during boot-time
[22:00] <ISK> Hi all
[22:01] <meerkats> since my upgrade to 11.04 libreoffice icons are gone, how do I get them back?
[22:01] <zhownx> hi all, I got problem with gwibber... it cant write new message... any clue?
[22:01] <urlin2u> Phun5tar, it sounds like just some basic understanding of grub 2 is needed here, you can use the external to boot the other if set up correctly, if you run te bootscript with the external plugged in we can see whats up, pastebin the results.txt. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[22:02] <antoniu> Anyone here know how to upload to a ppa, I'm having trouble with iy
[22:02] <antoniu> *it
[22:02] <enikm4> Pepp-elito, its been a while since I've had to configure a nvidia device but it seems like from my memory you have to do 2 separate configs
[22:02] <urlin2u> meerkats, gone from where?
[22:03] <jeagle> I think I am going to turn around 360 degrees and walk away from my computer. brb ;)
[22:03] <enikm4> jeagle, bad troll
[22:03] <jeagle> lol
[22:03] <jeagle> I know. :(
[22:03] <urlin2u> jeagle, don't spin to fast you will get dizzy.
[22:04] <meerkats> urlin2u, from my menus
[22:04] <jeagle> That is definitely something easy for me to do. :3
[22:04] <urlin2u> meerkats, this unity or gnome 3?
[22:04] <meerkats> urlin2u, In fallback, or GNOME classic, I dont se them anymore
[22:04] <jeagle> Does anyone in here know Aikar? :3
[22:04] <meerkats> whatever GNOME classical is...
[22:05] <meerkats> gnome 3 I guess
[22:07] <urlin2u> meerkats, I think you have gnome classic not gnome 3 they are not the same gnome 3 is not run in natty, without a hack.
[22:08] <phoenix_firebrd> any security expert here?
[22:08] <Phun5tar> what kind?
[22:08] <urlin2u> !ask > phoenix_firebrd
[22:08] <meerkats> How do I know for sure? I thought it would automatically upgrade to GNOME3 after the upgrade to 11.10
[22:08] <guntbert> phoenix_firebrd: you could try  in ##security
[22:09] <urlin2u> meerkats, this is gnome 3 it has to be installed to run in 11.10. http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/
[22:10] <pepp-elito> Hi, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell). How can i force a resolution to appear in nvdia-settings. Have tried get-edid and xrandr without success. Have tried xorg.conf also ut im not sure how it should be done... Anyone who can help med to get a proper resulotion availible in nvidia-settings?
[22:10] <urlin2u> meerkats, as of now the unity desktop is the default in natty and oneiric and precise.
[22:10] <amk12> hi
[22:11] <meerkats> urlin2u, I have gnome3 in my machine, I recognize that layout, but it gives me problems, If I "Suspend" from gnome3, next time I turn it on, it will only show a black screen, and I must reboot the system
[22:12] <meerkats> urlin2u, unity is that ine with the bar that appears to the left of the screen, right?
[22:12] <phoenix_firebrd> urlin2u: one of the lines in my wifi router log says "[DoS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [192.168.1.1]" is my system used for a ddos attack without my knowledge?
[22:12] <amk12> i have ubuntu 10.04...
[22:12] <urlin2u> meerkats, hmm what is your ram amount and how  much swap do you have?
[22:12] <cartoonbarsmars> is there a general linux channel, i use ubuntu on desktop and want to hear the opion of android by ubuntu/linux users
[22:12] <meerkats> urlin2u, and I have problems with the names: in my machine I dont see unity or gnome3, I see gnome, gnomeclassical, ubuntu, ubuntu2d, and custom AFAIR
[22:12] <Phun5tar> I like android
[22:13] <urlin2u> phoenix_firebrd, I have no security experience per-say
[22:13] <phoenix_firebrd> urlin2u: ok
[22:13] <guntbert> cartoonbarsmars: #linux
[22:13] <urlin2u> meerkats, ubuntu and ubuntu 2 are the unity desktop.
[22:13] <meerkats> urlin2u, I can have up to 5.6 GiB swap, but I've never needed that much, Iǘe never had problems with that. Now I have about 50 Mib swap
[22:13] <meerkats> ram = 2 GiB
[22:14] <urlin2u> meerkats, make the swap equal to your ram and see if the black screen persists.
[22:14] <cartoonbarsmars> until ubuntu is designed for tablets, is android a proper alternative? meaning will it have all the accompanying free software like open/libre office, etc.?
[22:14] <urlin2u> cartoonbarsmars, android is not supported here.
[22:14] <meerkats> urlin2u, afraid I cant. I only have 500 MiB free space. Increasing swap to 2 GiB would mean Im 1.5 GiB short, aint I right?
[22:15] <Phun5tar> it's not as fully loaded as Ubuntu, as it's geared for phones
[22:15] <urlin2u> cartoonbarsmars, there is a #android channel though.
[22:15] <Phun5tar> I haven't played with ICS yet, though
[22:16] <urlin2u> meerkats, when you say free space you mean the hd is full except for  500 MiB?
[22:16] <Phun5tar> cartoonbarsmars: check out the Android market if you're curious about software that you'd want
[22:16] <meerkats> urlin2u, yes
[22:16] <urlin2u> meerkats, bad idea having it that full.
[22:16] <GomoX> Hey
[22:16] <FredN> What language is going to be used in the Ubuntu Phone and Tablet?
[22:17] <GomoX> I'm runnign 11.04 and my "monitors" app isn't showing up on the unity search box
[22:17] <GomoX> I can't change the resolution
[22:17] <GomoX> Do you know how to start it from a shell?
[22:17] <meerkats> urlin2u, not what I planned, I was waiting to get a 1 TiB external HD for like 100 euros, but then those floods in thailend fukked it all up...
[22:17] <urlin2u> GomoX, tery display
[22:17] <urlin2u> try
[22:17] <GomoX> I tried display, monitor, screen
[22:17] <GomoX> resolution
[22:18] <GomoX> A google search shows it should be called "monitors"
[22:18] <GomoX> It's missing somehow
[22:18] <GomoX> What's the name of the command?
[22:19] <urlin2u> meerkats, please don't swear this is a world wide family friendly channel, so the black screen may be fixed with the proper swap per ram, the icon problem I'm not sure really.
[22:19] <Humbedooh> xrandr ?
[22:19] <GomoX> This question is suprisingly hard to google for.
[22:19] <pepp-elito> Hi, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell). How can i force a resolution to appear in nvdia-settings. Have tried get-edid and xrandr without success. Have tried xorg.conf also ut im not sure how it should be done... Anyone who can help med to get a proper resulotion availible in nvidia-settings?
[22:19] <carbon_> how does the ubuntu vpn client know what port to use ?
[22:20] <urlin2u> GomoX, you missing any other icons for other known installed apps.
[22:20] <mithrop> there is somebody who deploys Redmine on Heroku servers ?
[22:20] <GomoX> I haven't noticed anything in particular
[22:20] <GomoX> Just this
[22:21] <urlin2u> GomoX, you can reset unity to the stock setting this may have the displays show unity --reset
[22:21] <fil_> alkafoo: are you still here?
[22:22] <GomoX> Didn't work
[22:22] <carbon_> client.conf.   Guess I knew already.  where can I see where the connection fails.  In my log files obviously. Other then messages log is there anywhere else that will give more detail
[22:22] <GomoX> Can you tell me the name of the binary from your matchine?
[22:23] <GomoX> Just start it and then grab it from "ps"
[22:23] <meerkats> being in unity, is there any way I can import the menus as I have them in gnome?
[22:24] <urlin2u> meerkats, you can use a usb thumb for swap though, if you have one laying around.
[22:25] <papa> hy
[22:25] <urlin2u> meerkats, menus transfer not really.
[22:25] <pepp-elito> i, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell). How can i force a resolution to appear in nvdia-settings. Have tried get-edid and xrandr without success. Have tried xorg.conf also ut im not sure how it should be done... Anyone who can help med to get a proper resulotion availible in nvidia-settings? I'm using hdmi to a marantz av, i guess ubu
[22:25] <meerkats> urlin2u, USB for adding swap memory??
[22:25] <urlin2u> meerkats, yeah I do it at times.
[22:26] <meerkats> can I say crap, or would it be too unfamiliar and offensive?
[22:26] <papa> beszél valaki magyarul?
[22:27] <guntbert> !hu | papa
[22:27] <urlin2u> meerkats, use your own thought here the channel has links in the channel topic on these issues.
[22:27] <carbon_> i'm offended.  I prefer the word  excrement!
[22:27] <papa> ok,thx
[22:27] <meerkats> lol
[22:28] <carbon_> :)
[22:28] <urlin2u> !topic > carbon_
[22:28] <meerkats> can I make the icons in unity smaller or bigger?
[22:29] <urlin2u> meerkats, you can install the compizconfig setting manager and in the unity plugin in shrink the left panel.
[22:29] <pepp-elito> i, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell).

[22:29] <urlin2u> !repeat > pepp-elito
[22:29] <GomoX> The app is gnome-control-panel
[22:29] <GomoX> I seem to be missing that package
[22:30] <meerkats> urlin2u, do most ubuntu users use, or have you seen a trend in that direction, to use unity instead of gnome?
[22:30] <urlin2u> GomoX, gnome-control-panel also called advanced setitngs you have to install it
[22:30] <guntbert> !ot | meerkats
[22:31] <GomoX> I get "broken packages" when trying to grab it
[22:31] <urlin2u> meerkats,  don't know honestly, some complain about unity, no real data that I know of.
[22:31] <JosephHarrietha> Hello, I've been trying to allow myself to run an program without sudo, I've tried using the visudo file and inputing the line "username ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/program" where username is my username and program is the program, yet I still have sudo asking me for a password.
[22:32] <JosephHarrietha> Could anyone tell me why?
[22:32] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, running without a password is generally not suggested.
[22:32] <JosephHarrietha> Its one program. I know what Im doing. Trust me.
[22:33] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, are you sure you need to and if you do if making your set up no password the answer.
[22:33] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, yeah right lol.
[22:33] <urlin2u> :D
[22:33] <guntbert> JosephHarrietha: then do it, if you know what you are doing, but don't come asking for support
[22:33] <JosephHarrietha> making one program able to run via sudo without a password is the right choice in this circumstance.
[22:33] <meerkats> in unity, dash home, search, I look for "terminal" but only "xterminal" appears, what is the correct name for the common ubuntu terminal?
[22:34] <JosephHarrietha> I know what I'm doing with regards to security guntbert. Don't come to a support channel if your not willing to follow the rules and not be rude.
[22:34] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, a biot calling the kettle black eh.
[22:34] <urlin2u> bit
[22:35] <JosephHarrietha> urlin2u, Now, in this circumstance, making sudo run this single program with no password is my only viable option. All I'm asking for is to tell me what I did wrong. I've verified it against the man pages, it seems as though I did it right, but it refuses to work.
[22:36] <scarleo> Hi, has anyone seen if it's possible to run bitcasa client in Wine?
[22:36] <JosephHarrietha> urlin2u, I am the only sudo user on this system, it is encrypted via 256 aes. My account has a strong password. I am absolutely sure that this is the right option, can you help me?
[22:37] <urlin2u> meerkats, crtl-alt-t should bring up a a terminal if not you can set it to in the compizconfig manager

[22:38] <DelphiWorld> and tts is not well switable for that:D
[22:38] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, the password is for external protection as well, I just doubt you will get help here especially without actually identifying your goal by name the app, just saying, you might try ##linux
[22:39] <JosephHarrietha> urlin2u, It is a script I wrote. Not a special program, just a bash script to mount a truecrypt volume.
[22:39] <DelphiWorld> so:*
[22:39] <DelphiWorld> if someone used vdr, please would you mind helping me fixing mine ?
[22:39] <DelphiWorld> is not playing tv / radio out for me
[22:39] <DelphiWorld> and sory for asking for pm did to lot of traffic here :(
[22:40] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, cool I can't really help other then pass on the channel norms and sugetions of other channels.
[22:40]  * DelphiWorld is blind FBI
[22:40] <urlin2u> suggestions*
[22:40] <JosephHarrietha> urlin2u, Not to be rude, then why did you criticize me without the ability or knowledge to help fix my problem?
[22:41] <pepp-elito> Hi, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell).

Anyone who can help med to get a proper resulotion availible in nvidia-settings? Must i reset the xserver in someway to mak
[22:41] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, you take information as criticism that s a projection, I started with that no password is not suggested you have started any rude behavior.
[22:41] <DelphiWorld> vdr is video disk recorded
[22:41] <DelphiWorld> vdr is video disk recorder
[22:41] <DelphiWorld> to play tv on linux
[22:42] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, don't read into others it will serve you well.
[22:42] <RiotingPacifist_> can somebody tell me where /lib64 should point on 11.10 64bit systems
[22:42] <JosephHarrietha> urlin2u, I take implying that I have no clue what I am doing as rude, I also take presumptions as rude. Regardless, have a nice day :)
[22:45] <Aikar> jetole: ?
[22:45] <Aikar> err jetole sorry
[22:45] <DelphiWorld> anyone? vdr less i guess ?
[22:45] <Aikar> tried to complete to someone else
[22:46] <spacebug-> when I finally took time to look up what I thought could helpt someone he/she had left the channel :/
[22:47] <Slart> RiotingPacifist_: it doesn't point anywhere on my machine (64 bit 11.10 ubuntu).. just a normal folder
[22:47] <urlin2u> spacebug-, there are many more here reiterate the situation.
[22:47] <spacebug-> =)
[22:47] <RiotingPacifist_> Slart, oh dear is there much in it or just 1 linker?
[22:47] <Slart> RiotingPacifist_: there's not really a lot in that folder though..
[22:48] <Slart> RiotingPacifist_: I can paste the contents to you in a pm, is that alright?
[22:48] <RiotingPacifist_> slart, yes please
[22:49] <Slart> RiotingPacifist_: done
[22:49] <thechad90000> I'm having some issues using the Gnome 3 shell in Ubuntu. I've used a few online tutorials on how to install it, I followed the same tutorial when I was just testing the system and I got the nice sleek gnome 3 shell but now all I've got is a tar something or other file and I don't know what to do
[22:49] <thechad90000> Can anyone help me out
[22:49] <thechad90000> I've got gnome now but it's just not the new one like I wanted
[22:49] <pepp-elito> i, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell). How can i force a resolution to appear in nvdia-settings. Have tried get-edid and xrandr without success. Have tried xorg.conf also ut im not sure how it should be done... Anyone who can help med to get a proper resulotion availible in nvidia-settings? Must i reset the xserver in someway to make
[22:50] <dies_irae> hei
[22:50] <pepp-elito> <i have really tried everything my newbee-ubuntu brain can think of..
[22:50] <dies_irae> I know I axed this questino a trillion times
[22:51] <bigterd> how can one disable an EIDE channel on a motherboard? freebsd has atacontrol so you can detach channels/attach/reinitialize. wonder what the equivalent is for linux?
[22:52] <dies_irae> during the damn install, what comes after or what exactly does it do the stage where it goes 'Configuring Hardware'. Someone gots to know this, is not like NOBODY ever installed ubuntu succesfully.
[22:52] <dies_irae> sheesh
[22:53] <urlin2u> dies_irae, so whats the goal here in actuality?
[22:54] <dies_irae> urlin2u: are u interrogating me why I have problemos installing ubuntu??
[22:54] <dies_irae> 11.10 by the way
[22:55] <urlin2u> dies_irae, lol no just trying to get to the jist of what you need.
[22:55] <dies_irae> urlin2u: the darnest goal here is to do a succesful ubuntu install. I hope dats ok with u.
[22:55] <Rioting_Pacifist> Why would i be unable to chroot even if /bin/bash exists in my chroot (e.g /mnt/install/bin/bash is there but when i sudo chroot /mnt/install i get the error "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory"
[22:55] <ratcheer> Today, my system stopped automounting USB removable drives. I think it may be related to the 3.0.0-15 kernel upgrade. I tried to edit /apps/nautilus/preferences with gconf-editor, but the option for media_automount_open does not even show up.
[22:55] <urlin2u> dies_irae, not for you this channel suggests a friendly interaction can you do that.
[22:55] <dies_irae> everything seems to be installed even grub folder and all, the installer crashes right at 'Configuring Hardware'
[22:56] <Slart> dies_irae: wow.. classy attitude there.. I was actually thinking of doing an install in a vm just to see what comes after the hardware part.. I'm not so sure I want to any more
[22:57] <dies_irae> Slart: wow, that would actually be really helpful, cuz it would determine whether my flash drive still bootable into the installation.
[22:57] <dies_irae> Slart: bear in mind it's been like two weeks trying to find out about this.
[22:58] <maxhr> I had kubuntu installed, then installed Mandriva, which didn't make a boot menu option for Kubuntu, so I tried adding it manually, but when it loads, keyboard and mouse don't work, any fix for this?
[22:58] <maxhr> Seems I missed an option in the boot manager setup, any ideas please?
[22:59] <[deXter]> Why are you using Mandriva?
[22:59] <dies_irae> Slart: are you doing it??
[22:59] <[deXter]> that's a dead distro and the company has gone bankrupt
[22:59] <Rioting_Pacifist> maxhr: does kb work in ctrl+alt+f2
[23:00] <balgarath> how to fix or troubleshoot dependency/configuration? google not helping me: http://pastie.org/3221776
[23:00] <Rioting_Pacifist> [deXter]: lets not start distro wars
[23:00] <[deXter]> Rioting_Pacifist, I'm just stating the facts.
[23:00] <Slart> dies_irae: give me a second.. let me see if I can get virtualbox installed first
[23:00] <urlin2u> maxb, mandriva now has control of the boot, you could use a supergrub disc and get to kubuntu and reload grub to the mbr and update-grub and have mandriva probably, I don't know what bootloader mandrivav uses though, you might try ## linux as well.
[23:01] <BarkingFish> urlin2u: As of their last issue, it was GRUB, not GRUB2
[23:01] <dies_irae> Slart: thanks a lot!! As I said, I've checked the flash drive in order to check whether folders files partition were missing but everything is there.
[23:01] <BarkingFish> I know cause I came to (k)ubuntu from their back in June last year
[23:01] <maxhr> Rioting_Pacifist: I get nada from keyboard, have to shutdown with power button
[23:01] <alecbrooks> maxhr: Did you write to the GRUB configuration file from scratch? You might want to copy and paste from Kubuntu's /boot/grub dir.
[23:01] <urlin2u> BarkingFish, ah col thanx :D
[23:02] <urlin2u> cool*
[23:02] <DaveWM> is it possible for me to give a group I created full read/write/execute/all access recursively to a directory ?  The group I created is wwwaccess and I added everybody that is allowed to edit delete execute the web files,  including user www-data to the group
[23:02] <dies_irae> Slart: the stage where it does the "Configuring Hardware" and lemme know whether there something else afterwards.
[23:02] <BarkingFish> and for your benefit, [deXter], mandriva is not yet bankrupt, it's in administration at this time, and an offer has been made to buy the company out.
[23:03] <BarkingFish> That's as of 17th January, decision is delayed on what's happening until 23rd January
[23:03] <[deXter]> Ah okay.
[23:03] <DarkSmoke> IS there some verbose flag for this new bootloader configuration file? and is there some kind of splash for ubuntu which has the bootup text coming up?
[23:03] <[deXter]> Still, the stats on Distrowatch don't look good. If you're new to Linux and you depend on community support, you should stick to one of the top 10 distros..
[23:03] <maxhr> alecbrooks: I didn't write manually, just added the entry using mandriva boot manager tool, specified the partition and then the vmlinuz and initrd... don't know if the fact that mandriva uses grub, instead of grub2 is a problem
[23:03] <urlin2u> maxb, you familiar with supergrub?
[23:04] <huseyinX> hello, How can i see/config my photo on Login Screen (ubuntu 11.10). thanks
[23:04] <nookfrog> can anyone tell me where I might ask about rooting a new Nook Tablet ?
[23:04] <urlin2u> nookfrog, not supported here.
[23:04] <maxhr> urlin2u: no, haven't heard of it
[23:04] <nookfrog> k ty
[23:04] <DarkSmoke> nookfrog: if its android check xda-developers
[23:05] <alecbrooks> maxhr: I was just wondering if you based it off of the default bootloader configuration.
[23:05] <DexterF> hi
[23:05] <ratcheer> Today, my system stopped automounting USB removable drives. I think it may be related to the 3.0.0-15 kernel upgrade. I tried to edit /apps/nautilus/preferences with gconf-editor, but the option for media_automount_open does not even show up. Can anyone help, please?
[23:05] <Rioting_Pacifist> ls -l bin/bash shows bash and it is executable but chroot ./ returns "failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory" :(
[23:06] <alecbrooks> maxhr: I don't think grub/grub2 should make a difference. I'm not an expert, though.
[23:06] <urlin2u> maxhr, it will boot a OS that is not showing and or a borked boot, you can boot to the kubuntu with kt then load grub 2 to the mbr and then update-grub and mandriva should be in the grub menu. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[23:06] <DexterF> 10.04, intel 2200BG wireless, network-manager says "device is not managed" - what does that mean and how do I get it working?
[23:06] <almoxarife> alecbrooks: it does make a diff
[23:06] <spacebug-> Rioting_Pacifist: trying it here also ang get same result. User error of course.. reading more..
[23:07] <urlin2u> alecbrooks, grub legacy just needs the right stanzas grub 2 will auto add them.
[23:07] <DarkSmoke> IS there some verbose flag for this new bootloader configuration file? and is there some kind of splash for ubuntu which has the bootup text coming up?
[23:07] <Slart> dies_irae: are you using the regular desktop install?
[23:08] <maxhr> urlin2u: is there a way to fix things from mandriva?
[23:09] <urlin2u> maxhr, probabl but I'm not a grub legacy guru grub 2 is where i have put my work.
[23:09] <almoxarife> DexterF: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9300712&postcount=2
[23:10] <urlin2u> maxhr, grub legacy is not really supported as well now, grub 2 will add a OS automatically.
[23:10] <DarkSmoke> is it posible no one can help me about this simple problem?
[23:10] <alecbrooks> urlin2u: Sorry, don't completely understand. You mean grub2 auto-adds entries from legacy grub?
[23:10] <dies_irae> Slart: regular, yes, no server, no netbook edition etc.
[23:10] <DaveWM> can somebody explain to me what group this is assigning the permission to "chmod g+w file         (Give write permission to the group)"
[23:10] <urlin2u> alecbrooks, grub 2 will chainload a grub legacy yes.
[23:10] <DaveWM> that's an example of a web page
[23:11] <DaveWM> I don't get it,  cause there is no group name specified
[23:11] <bytesaber_work> would ubuntu 11.04 "flash" my efi of my macbook?   My macbook is black screen on power on after installing.
[23:12] <flowerpot> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.  It came with GRUB, but dpkg -l grub shows that grub isn't installed.  How can this be?
[23:12] <balgarath> using aptitude to install java, im getting a Segfault and error processing shared-mime-info.  any ideas how to troubleshoot this? http://pastie.org/3221776
[23:12] <maxhr> urlin2u: thx, guess that is a good sign mandriva is a little in the past, and all these other headaches makes it not worth trying further
[23:12] <bigterd> how can one disable an EIDE channel on a motherboard? freebsd has atacontrol so you can detach channels/attach/reinitialize. wonder what the equivalent is for linux?
[23:12] <urlin2u> flowerpot, 11.10 s grub 2
[23:12] <urlin2u> is*
[23:12] <DexterF> almoxarife: yay, thanks
[23:12] <ubuntu_> hello
[23:12] <ubuntu_> ok...let me pose my problem
[23:13] <DaveWM> its annoying me that between that between reading editing and executing files from my normal account,  www-data user,  and root user,  I can't seem to have any consistency in permissions working,  so I made a group called wwwaccess and added all three to it,  now I want to give that group full access to the web directory
[23:13] <urlin2u> maxhr, there are others that use grub legacy as well, it is justa matter of underatnding how to reload the mbr and where grub is installed on installations.
[23:13] <flowerpot> urlin2u, I mean, I'm using GRUB - it's there and working, because I can see the GRUB menu when I boot up.  However, dpkg -l grub and dpkg -l grub2 both show as uninstalled.  I want the interactive grub prompt, but can't find it.
[23:13] <urlin2u> flowerpot, you removed grub2?
[23:13] <flowerpot> I did not; it came like this.
[23:13] <ubuntu_> i booted ubuntu via a usb drive, installed ubuntu, and when it restarted i did not see the option to boot into the new installation
[23:14] <ubuntu_> I am running it along side win7
[23:14] <almoxarife> DarkSmoke: what you are looing for is grub2 options, and they are spelled out in /etc/default/grub
[23:14] <young_chook> Hi, I was wondering if someone can please help me with Advanced Settings in Ubuntu 11.10
[23:14] <urlin2u> flowerpot, run this command and post the results. sudo grub-install -v
[23:14] <flowerpot> grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-12ubuntu5
[23:15] <urlin2u> flowerpot, argh that be grub 2
[23:15] <OerHeks> dpkg -L grub-pc
[23:15] <urlin2u> ;D
[23:15] <dagerik> Can a shell script add data to pasteboard?
[23:15] <flowerpot> But dpkg -l grub2 shows: un  grub2          <none>         (no description available)
[23:15] <flowerpot> Doesn't "un" mean that is isn't installed?
[23:15] <almoxarife> !info grub
[23:15] <urlin2u> flowerpot, so what s the actual problem?
[23:16] <urlin2u> is*
[23:16] <almoxarife> !info grub2
[23:16] <flowerpot> urlin2u, I want to use the interactive GRUB shell,  but the commands grub and grub2 do nothing
[23:16] <DarkSmoke> almoxarife: I know, thats the file to edit, but what i asked for is there a flag for verbose mode or a flag for a splash screen with verbosity ?
[23:16] <ubuntu_> simple boot question for any takers
[23:17] <dies_irae> Slart: how's going :)
[23:17] <dies_irae> any progress??
[23:17] <urlin2u> flowerpot, so what is your definition of the interactive GRUB shell and what do you want to do with it?
[23:17] <dies_irae> I wish installation process was documentet somewhere
[23:18] <Slart> dies_irae: its installing.. I'm recording a video of the process.. hopefully I can upload it to youtube or something
[23:18] <dies_irae> flowerpot=tiesto
[23:18] <almoxarife> DarkSmoke: and you looked at the file? cause when i do i see at least the first answer to your question
[23:18] <urlin2u> ubuntu_, ask your questions. :D
[23:18] <ubuntu_> hmmm
[23:19] <young_chook> need help with a shell theme, there is a yellow triangle
[23:19] <pepp-elito> i, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell). How can i force a resolution to appear in nvdia-settings. Have tried get-edid and xrandr without success. Have tried xorg.conf also ut im not sure how it should be done... Anyone who can help med to get a proper resulotion availible in nvidia-settings? Must i reset the xserver in someway to make
[23:19] <fatih> hello...nat one ?? :)
[23:19] <ubuntu_> ok...i booted via usb, then installed ubuntu to run along side win7
[23:19] <DarkSmoke> almoxarife: i don't understand.. maybe in kubuntu the file it's different then ubuntu, but i don't see the answer to my question.
[23:19] <flowerpot> urlin2u, I want to practice installing GRUB natively using GRUB's command shell from inside Ubuntu.
[23:19] <fatih> any one ??
[23:20] <ubuntu_> after installation and re-boot, there was no option to start the ubuntu OS
[23:20] <ubuntu_> so i booted back into usb
[23:20] <almoxarife> DarkSmoke: you in #kubuntu?
[23:20] <ubuntu_> but i want to see the option to boot into ubuntu
[23:20] <urlin2u> flowerpot, Do you mean installing grub to the OS and or the mbr?
[23:20] <urlin2u> grub 2 that is
[23:20] <DarkSmoke> no one answered me there almoxarife i waited a few minutes but seems death..
[23:21] <Slart> dies_irae: ok, configuring hardware now
[23:21] <Ben64> DarkSmoke: read the top few lines of grub.cfg
[23:21] <spacebug-> RiotingPacifist_: I got it
[23:21] <OerHeks> ubuntu_ hold left shift @ boot, to enter the grub menu
[23:21] <urlin2u> !grub > flowerpot
[23:21] <flowerpot> urlin2u, Yes, I want to install GRUB to the MBR
[23:21] <Slart> dies_irae: then goes on to something else I didn't have time to read.. then installing boot loader and other stuff
[23:21] <spacebug-> RiotingPacifist_: You need to mount (using bind) the folders /lib and /lib64 to the chrooted dir
[23:22] <spacebug-> RiotingPacifist_: And you might want the whole /bin if you gana use things like ls and such ;)
[23:22] <urlin2u> flowerpot, the command is sudo grub-install /dev/sdX the X being the dives mbr not a partition you can run blkid to see the drive to see whether it would be sda or sdb etc
[23:22] <urlin2u> bilkid*
[23:23] <huseyinX> hello, How can i see/config  Login Screen (Ubuntu 11.10). thanks
[23:23] <urlin2u> flowerpot, sorry blkid or sufo fdisk -l
[23:23] <urlin2u> sudo*
[23:23] <flowerpot> urlin2u, thanks - I understand that grub-install is just a script and that you can install using the GRUB shell if for example grub-install fails.  I was hoping to practice that method.
[23:23] <Dlabz> Hi, guys. Trying to install ubuntu on zbox VD01... flashed the BIOS, but install hangs -> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/580643/SendTo/photo.JPG any ideas? thanks
[23:23] <RiotingPacifist_> spacebug thanks just rebooting as i tried mounting dev over my chroot :( will try that when im booted up
[23:24] <dies_irae> Slart: thanks, that helps because it confirms that the MBR isn't installed in my case. Thanks a lot for your time.
[23:24] <flowerpot> urlin2u, it's not necessary right now, but I'm just curious since I'm looking at a set of instructions that makes use of the GRUB shell, and I'm curious as to why I can't do it in Ubuntu
[23:24] <spacebug-> RiotingPacifist_: ok
[23:24] <urlin2u> flowerpot, cool, make sure the instructions are for grub 2
[23:25] <Slart> dies_irae: you're welcome.. it's still encoding the movie but it's about 40 % finished.. you want the youtube link if the video works?
[23:25] <urlin2u> flowerpot, or grub-legacy if you want that.
[23:25] <flowerpot> urlin2u, they are not...does this mean the GRUB 2 doesn't have a shell...?
[23:25] <DarkSmoke> Ben64: were is that file located?
[23:25] <dies_irae> Slart: sure why not, it'll be there for others as well.
[23:25] <flowerpot> urlin2u, another curiosity is that GRUB is installed on my MBR but dpkg doesn't think grub or grub2 is installed.  is that normal?
[23:26] <urlin2u> flowerpot, the term shell is throwing as far of what that means to you, can you give alink to the instructions.
[23:26] <Ben64> DarkSmoke: /boot/grub/
[23:26] <ratcheer> Today, my system stopped automounting USB removable drives. I think it may be related to the 3.0.0-15 kernel upgrade. I tried to edit /apps/nautilus/preferences with gconf-editor, but the option for media_automount_open does not even show up. Can anyone help, please?
[23:26] <urlin2u> flowerpot, grub 2 is called grub-common and grub-pc it is there.
[23:26] <jwp121> Anyone hear willing to help a newnie to PGP?
[23:27] <DarkSmoke> Ben64: the only thing i have in the begining is not to edit the file
[23:27] <urlin2u> !ask > jwp121
[23:27] <Ben64> DarkSmoke: it says where to edit
[23:27] <flowerpot> urlin2u, ok.  I'll poke around and see if I can figure it out - I don't wanna ask too many broad questions...the instructions I'm using are in a proprietary book on Linux system administration, so it isn't linkable
[23:28] <RiotingPacifist_> spacebug thanks that has got me in :D
[23:28] <spacebug-> nice ;)
[23:28] <urlin2u> flowerpot, I suspect it is grub-legacy you looking at.
[23:28] <flowerpot> probably.
[23:28] <DarkSmoke> Ben64: yes, i already know which file to edit, that was not what i asked... already told almoxarife this.
[23:28] <pepp-elito> i, I'm having problems with resolutions in ubuntu 11.10.I can only select max 640X480 in nvidia-settings (280, have tried x-swat aswell). How can i force a resolution to appear in nvdia-settings. Have tried get-edid and xrandr without success. Have tried xorg.conf also ut im not sure how it should be done...

[23:29] <flowerpot> urlin2u, thank you for the help
[23:29] <urlin2u> you*
[23:29] <urlin2u> flowerpot, no problem grub can be a challenge that is for sure.:D
[23:29] <LinuxApprentice> i will never buy an nvidia card if i am planning to use linux on that system...
[23:29] <almoxarife> DarkSmoke: feel free to leave me out of it, btw, stop spinning and at least try google, 'grub2 options'
[23:30] <urlin2u> LinuxApprentice, go say that in #fedora and wait for the abuse, lol
[23:30] <LinuxApprentice> urlin2u: lol
[23:30] <DarkSmoke> almoxarife: spinning?
[23:32] <DexterF> running update-manager on 10.04 doesnt offer to upgrade to a newer version and do-release-upgrade says there are none
[23:32] <DexterF> how can I upgrade from here, and can I up to 11.10 directly?
[23:34] <atomicspin> Anyone know any good games that run on Ubuntu that I could play across the LAN with my son?
[23:34] <atomicspin> He's 9.
[23:35] <DexterF> doom3
[23:35] <atomicspin> I do like that game.
[23:35] <atomicspin> But...he's 9.
[23:35] <LinuxApprentice> doom 2
[23:35] <DexterF> he totally will love it
[23:35] <DexterF> tuxracer perhaps?
[23:36] <Pancakez> armagetron might be good, clone of that tron motorcycle game
[23:37] <atomicspin> Oh, nice.  You guys rock me.
[23:38] <ToBeFree> heeey what about...
[23:38] <ToBeFree> SRB2
[23:38] <ToBeFree> http://srb2.org
[23:38] <ToBeFree> the linux port does not work for me, but WINE is doing a perfect job
[23:39] <ToBeFree> @atomicspin
[23:39] <atomicspin> coolness
[23:39] <chuck> I'd like to reinstall Grub in order to access my Ubuntu after a install of Windows what is the most better way to do that?
[23:40] <Guitar_glen> hey all...been begging for help, and been ignored
[23:40] <Jordan_U> chuck: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[23:41] <DexterF> Guitar_glen: tell what the problem is, what you tried and what happened
[23:41] <Jeruvy> Guitar_glen, just ask you question in full.  If you don't get an answer in a few minutes feel free to repeat it.
[23:41] <Guitar_glen> ok...i booted ubuntu via a usb to install it along side win7
[23:41] <LinuxApprentice> what's a good program, preferably a CLI program that supports ALOT of input formats and can output to WAV ?
[23:41] <Jordan_U> Guitar_glen: If nobody know the answer to your question, nobody will answer. It's not because we're ignoring you.
[23:41] <urlin2u> Guitar_glen, black screen
[23:42] <DexterF> LinuxApprentice: check out mplayer's man page on output devices, think it has a disk writer plugin.
[23:42] <Guitar_glen> when it installed and rebooted, there was no option to choose os
[23:42] <Guitar_glen> so i had to boot back into usb
[23:42] <Guitar_glen> how can i have the option to choose the new ubuntu os
[23:42] <LinuxApprentice> DexterF: but can it transcode game-console sound files?
[23:42] <urlin2u> Guitar_glen, you boot the thumb?
[23:42] <DexterF> Guitar_glen: you need to install the bootloader grub from within ubuntu
[23:43] <Jordan_U> Guitar_glen: So when you booted from the internal hard drive it booted Windows without any boot menu?
[23:43] <Guitar_glen> black screen?
[23:43] <chuck> Jordan_U: Thanks I will do
[23:43] <DexterF> LinuxApprentice: only if it supports the format of course. what game console file type would that be?
[23:43] <chuck> Jordan_U: that
[23:43] <Jordan_U> chuck: You're welcome.
[23:43] <DexterF> !tell Guitar_glen grub
[23:43] <LinuxApprentice> DexterF: nsf,spc,minipsf and psf
[23:43] <DexterF> dang
[23:44] <Guitar_glen> ok...grub
[23:44] <Guitar_glen> where do i find the grub
[23:44] <urlin2u> Guitar_glen, some have graphic problems=black screen, just asking, but you confirmed not the problem.
[23:44] <LinuxApprentice> DexterF: is there a channel for stuff like this? sound files,players, encoding ,transcoding info ?
[23:44] <urlin2u> Guitar_glen, did you boot the thumb for install or install from windows?
[23:44] <DexterF> Guitar_glen: ask the ubottu bot about grub, dive into some links
[23:45] <Guitar_glen> i booted first from usb, and installed from usb
[23:45] <LinuxApprentice> Guitar_glen: what's the problem?
[23:45] <DexterF> LinuxApprentice: maybe at #mplayer they have clues. not the easiest people to talk to but they know a lot :)
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Guitar_glen: there is a how to on omgubuntu called: sticking it to grub   shows how to reinstate grub from liveCD/USB
[23:45] <LinuxApprentice> DexterF: so i am finding out, one guy is wayyyyyyyyyy out there. don't what he is talking about
[23:45] <murfie> zo
[23:46] <urlin2u> Guitar_glen, try starting the computer with the thumb in and first in the bios at times it gets the grub bootloader rather then the hd you may get a grub menu then.
[23:46] <murfie> rehi
[23:46] <DexterF> LinuxApprentice: ask for clarification then. it's ok to point out that you're a newbie on a certain subject as long as you don't get people to think you're letting them do your homework
[23:47] <LinuxApprentice> DexterF: i see
[23:47] <Guitar_glen> ok..thanks all
[23:47] <DexterF> LinuxApprentice: and google helps of course
[23:48] <murfie> how do I do l2tpv3 in ubuntu 10.04.2?
[23:48] <urlin2u> Guitar_glen, grub can be put in the mbr if you get in to ubuntu or from the booted thumb let us know whats up for links
[23:48] <dies_irae> Slart: did the upload finish??
[23:48] <LinuxApprentice> DexterF: oh but of course
[23:48] <studioxps> How many partitions does Ubuntu 11.10 have after install??
[23:48] <Slart> dies_irae: yes.. but it was a mess.. and I'm trying to somehow fix it at the moment
[23:49] <urlin2u> studioxps, how did you ninstall?
[23:49] <urlin2u> install
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> murfie: may help http://forums.openl2tp.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=81
[23:49] <young_chook> need help with a shell theme, there is a yellow triangle
[23:49] <meerkats> in unity, can I use 2 app simultaneously? Im editing a presentation, with text of libreoffice writter, and I need to match the text with the presentation. In Unity, as I see it, id have to read text, go to launcher, choose the other app, like that for the whole process. Isnt there an easier way?
[23:50] <jason_hudson> hello everyone i'd like to ask you all a question, i'm in the process of buying a netbook which will be used for very basic tasks and very "basic" gaming (the most consuming being hedgewars i suppose), of all the ones i found there are 2 that caught my attention, one having a C60 (1ghz and Radeon HD 6250)  and one having a N570 (1,6 mhz and GMA3150) do you have any idea about what one would fit best? possibly little games and
[23:50] <jason_hudson> some youtube without much heating or issues? thanks in advance
[23:50] <murfie> ActionParsnip: I tried some of these commands but it does not work in 10.04
[23:50] <urlin2u> studioxps, a auto install will make a ext4 and a swap with a extended around the swap or both.
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: try ALT+TAB
[23:51] <cypher-neo> meerkats, If you have the program open, you only need to right-click on the shortcut that appears in the Unity sidebar to open another copy of the program.
[23:51] <murfie> I think I need a newer kernel
[23:51] <studioxps> urlin2u may I PM u plz?
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> jason_hudson: I'd shoot for the ATi
[23:51] <ejv> newer kernel? you're using the wrong distro buddy
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> murfie: possibly, try Oneiric or even Precise liveCD/USB
[23:52] <urlin2u> studioxps, sure, but we lie to keep it in the channel better help that way.
[23:52] <urlin2u> like
[23:52] <jason_hudson> ActionParsnip: you say that those 600mhz * 2 aren't a big difference when the graphic card is better?
[23:52] <DexterF> jason_hudson: what device has a 6 series radeon but inly 1ghz?
[23:52] <DexterF> *only
[23:52] <murfie> ActionParsnip: ok I'll try.. can you help debugging if the tunnel doesn't work?
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> jason_hudson: If you are wanting games then GPU will help a lot
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> murfie: not something I use or have even heard of, I just searched and found that
[23:53] <murfie> ActionParsnip: it seems still experimental.. or is it production ready?
[23:53] <jason_hudson> DexterF: asus 1015BX series
[23:53] <jason_hudson> ActionParsnip: thank you, much appreciated
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> murfie: Precise? Its in Alpha2 but may give what you need
[23:53] <murfie> ActionParsnip: but the l2tpv3 isn't very stable is it
[23:53] <elijah> If I do a traceroute and see 17 hops does that mean that if I download a 2 GB file that all 2 GB goes through all machines of those 17 hops?
[23:53] <DexterF> well, intel gives you open src drivers while the radeon probably performs better at 3d, has more config options. but the drivers... can be a hassle
[23:53] <RiotingPacifist_> murfie you wont need a newer kernel that is a core part of your system but wont addect you user apps much, what you mght need is an upgrade of your distro
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> murfie: see above
[23:54] <murfie> ActionParsnip: hmm ok.. so in theory we could replace you by a google bot..
[23:54] <jason_hudson> DexterF: i can't swear that but i think i found open source ones for that card
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> murfie: its al I seem to have to do, people don't seem to be able to fnid the guides (plus I rarely use google)
[23:55] <murfie> RiotingPacifist_: but I use LTS
[23:55] <neuron> I've got a problem with ./configure, says im missing sqlite3 (sqlite3_open in -lsqlite3)
[23:55] <neuron> but ive got sqlite3...
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> neuron: you will need the -dev if you are compiling
[23:55] <DexterF> jason_hudson: weeeeell: there is an open src driver for radeons, hats off to the devs if they support the 6 series by now, still I'd check how feature complete that drivers is befroehand. #radeon helps. or was ist #ati..?
[23:56] <neuron> sqlite3-dev?
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> neuron: sounds good to me
[23:56] <neuron> ok, thanks
[23:56] <jason_hudson> DexterF: i think it's #radeon , i'll give all that a look, thanks for pointing that out
[23:57] <flowerpot> I've read that you can "burn" an ISO file to a USB stick by using dd.  Is that true?  Are there any implications to doing that I should be aware of...?
[23:57] <RiotingPacifist_> murfie a kernel upgrade will not change your usefacing apps at all, if you want newer apps/unity you need to upgrade the install (e.g 10.4->11.10) i'm not suggesting that, just saying that messing with your kernel is unlikely to help
[23:57] <murfie> what is [7108317.516452] scrab[14642]: segfault at 0 ip 0016f330 sp bf9d3f20 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[110000+153000]
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> flowerpot: from Oneiric onwards,, yes you can use the ISO as the if= in a dd command
[23:57] <flowerpot> ActionParsnip, is that specific to Ubuntu or true to Linux in general?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> flowerpot: some distros it will work, some not
[23:58] <murfie> I get this message few times a day
[23:58] <flowerpot> ActionParsnip, is it actually making a block-by-block copy of the ISO file, or is it manipulating the data somehow?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> murfie: any bugs reported for it?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> flowerpot: bit by bit ;) but yes
[23:59] <murfie> ActionParsnip: don't know.. how can I check that?
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> flowerpot: dd keeps going til either the input or output are exhausted
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> !bugs | murfie
[23:59] <murfie> are there still bugs in ubuntu?
[23:59] <flowerpot> ActionParsnip, the thing I was worried about is...I thought ISO files were files that contained a file system specific to a CD rom...is it OK to just copy everything onto a USB stick and expect it to work?
