[00:00] <krazed> Absoloutely, the plasma interface is smokinnn

[00:06] <Guinness2702> rarar3: that ? for me?
[00:07] <Muska> hi, having an issue with ubuntu hanging at init-bottom on boot.  how can I troubleshoot what is causing it to hang?
[00:07] <Muska> boots ok in single user with init=/bin/bash however I currently have it chrooted from a knoppix boot
[00:07] <Guinness2702> Muska - you looked at the logs?  always a good place to start
[00:07] <Muska> I looked at messages and dmesg, will scour some other logs to see if there is anything else useful
[00:08] <Muska> Guinness2702, more trying to see what starts around the time init-bottom is executed so I can try to execute things one by one in a chroot environment or in single user to see what hangs and what doesn't
[00:10] <marabi2> Hello
[00:11] <grubbyone> I have a desktop with 5 sata drives in a softraid, and 1 sata ssd which I'm installing ubuntu desktop 64 on, it only boots when I unplug the softraid drives, when all the drives are plugged in, it drops to busybox/initramfs
[00:13] <Nullifi3d> grubbyone: software controlled raid is usually handled by the os
[00:13] <Nullifi3d> meaning if you boot into a different os, no raid
[00:13] <ericus> Do you guys like my netbook look? Gnome/Openbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4375930/scrot.png
[00:13] <grubbyone> Nullifi3d: I can access the raid from different installations
[00:14] <grubbyone> Nullifi3d: as long as it's ubuntu
[00:14] <ai6pg> I have a laptop running 11.10 - now when I try to run an X app from a byobu window I get "Error: Can't open display:"
[00:14] <grubbyone> I just can't boot
[00:14] <Nullifi3d> do you not have a hw raid controller?
[00:15] <osmosis> does aptitude support colorized output?
[00:15] <grubbyone> Nullifi3d: not one to speak of, just an X58 motherboard
[00:15] <SlyUk> ericus, probably for #ubuntu-offtopic but while we are at it i prefer my openbox ;) http://i.imgur.com/CXuNh.png
[00:16] <Nullifi3d> grubbyone: manufacturer?
[00:16] <grubbyone> evga
[00:16] <tman> i prefer awesome window manager
[00:16] <tman> personal preference
[00:17] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[00:17] <Tetracomm> Do any of you know how to turn off a USB port at the command prompt in Ubuntu? Or any of the other ports? I just want a way to use the computer to switch things on and off.
[00:21] <krazed> 10.04 LTS still uses the gnome enviroment right?
[00:21] <marabi2> hey tetracom sup
[00:22] <Nullifi3d> krazed: yes
[00:22] <krazed> Thanks Nullifi3d, appreciate it. Looks like I'm gonna be 'down'grading... also LFM to start an anti-unity movement! :-)
[00:23] <Nullifi3d> 4srs
[00:23] <zykotick9> krazed: 10.04 uses Gnome2 yes
[00:24] <krazed> Thanks zykotick9, I just can't get into Unity. I don't know why, I just hate it.
[00:24] <gridbag> any suggestions for a winamp-like audio player.  xmms seems to be not updated. vlc is kind of kunky.
[00:24] <krazed> gridbag, amarok?
[00:25] <zykotick9> gridbag: audacity
[00:25] <Nullifi3d> i like rythmbox
[00:25] <_TCPDown> i like aqualung
[00:25] <_TCPDown> is better :D
[00:25] <Nullifi3d> sorry, Rhythmbox
[00:25] <forever1> gridbag: clementine player!!!
[00:25] <_TCPDown> Nullifi3d, noob :/
[00:25] <krazed> Anyone here using an iPhone in sync with their ubuntu box?
[00:25] <Nullifi3d> yup :P
[00:25] <zykotick9> moc FTW :p
[00:26] <forever1> krazed: use clementine its linux's itunes
[00:26] <krazed> forever1, thanks I'll definitely check it out.
[00:27] <krazed> Anyone know if 11.10 comes with an ISO burning software by default?
[00:27] <krazed> Just kidding, found it.
[00:28] <zykotick9> krazed: i'm pretty sure brasero burn ISOs
[00:28] <dtmbmw325i> brasero is stock but i prefer k3b
[00:28] <mduffy> brasero does burn iso's
[00:29] <krazed> brasero is actually pretty nice
[00:29] <krazed> nice and simple, I like it
[00:29] <forever1> krazed: try brasero disk burner "not default"
[00:29] <dtmbmw325i> I sometimes have issues with burning discs failing
[00:29] <acerimmer> dtmbmw325i: happens to all of us...
[00:29] <pp7_> can u even burn a dvd (using VOB files etc.) with Brasero?
[00:30] <forever1> dtmbmw325i: whats the version?
[00:30] <kjcole> keyboard-layout-indicator missing.  I have three keyboards defined.
[00:30] <cheapie> Is there a way to determine how loud a playing sound is?
[00:30] <krazed> Is it weird that I like watching ubuntu videos on youtube?
 3.2.0
[00:31] <acerimmer> krazed: to us?  no.  To others? ...
[00:31] <forever1> dtmbmw325i: same as mine, but no problems
[00:32] <krazed> acerimmer, touche. Hmm, my burn is halfway done.. someone help me think of an awesome hostname for my reinstall of 10.04!
[00:32] <dtmbmw325i> krazed: bobsagot
[00:32] <vsync> it's saget
[00:33] <acerimmer> krazed: emperor - type of penguin
[00:33] <krazed> I'm OCD about  this kind've stuff, I need it to actually mean something.
[00:33] <dtmbmw325i> forever maybe it is the media... who knows
[00:33] <vsync> krazed well bobsaget does mean something.
[00:33] <cheapie> krazed: (location)-box, maybe?
[00:34] <forever1> doe's anyone know a good php editor, had to give up dreamweaver?
[00:34] <grubbyone> after a fresh install I get hung on Verifying DMI Pool Data..............
[00:34] <marabi2> hey sup
[00:34] <forever1> marabi2:hey
[00:34] <vsync> forever1 go with eclipse
[00:34] <krazed> Ah, looks like 10.04 is finished burning. Off to 'down'grade I go, see ya'll in a bit.
[00:34] <marabi2> how are you forever1
[00:34] <forever1> vsync: what about bluefish?
[00:35] <grubbyone> windows installs and boots fine
[00:35] <marabi2> hope you fine?
[00:35] <blizzow> Is there a way to boot my machine faster without giving it a static IP address?  I have ubuntu installed on a crucial m4 SSD, and yet I still walk away to get coffee when I boot up because I see the infernal "waiting 60 more seconds for network to boot" sign.
[00:35] <forever1> marabi2: well, and u?, whats the time there by you?
[00:35] <vsync> dno. unless you need an ide, the differences are barely noticeable... though myself i wouldn't need an ide for php
[00:36] <scwizard> I'm installing ubuntu on a desktop I have, and the installation seems to be frozen at "configuring target system"
[00:36] <scwizard> how long should I cross my fingers for?
[00:36] <marabi2> oh the time is 12:35 here and there?
[00:36] <cheapie> marabi2: ...can you tell us what the problem is? It would help a little with the troubleshooting.
[00:36] <forever1> vsync:  just install wammp, going to try set that up later for the local server
[00:36] <marabi2> which kind of problem?
[00:37] <vsync> huh?
[00:37] <forever1> marabi2:02:37 in the morning
[00:37] <cheapie> marabi2: As in, what's wrong with your computer?
[00:37] <marabi2> waaw we are in night
[00:38] <vsync> i miss knight rider
[00:38] <vsync> the new one is crap
[00:38] <scwizard> oh if you press the arrow there's a little console output and a skip button
[00:38] <scwizard> this still doesn't bode well though...
[00:38] <forever1> vsync: do you know xammp?
[00:38] <marabi2> nothing strong with my computer. is there any problem?
[00:39] <cheapie> marabi2: Oh, you're here to help?
[00:39] <vsync> forever1 checked it out just now, well, is that meant to be a sandbox of sorts? But i dunno, never had problems setting a server up so that isn't much for me I think
[00:39] <forever1> I got to say, I'm have less trouble with linux that windows
[00:39] <marabi2> yes if i could do so
[00:40] <cheapie> marabi2: OK.
[00:40] <marabi2> alright cheapie
[00:40] <forever1> vsync: see i had it to easy with easyPHP on windows
[00:40]  * cheapie decides to mod keyboard and goes off in search of sheetmetal cutters
[00:41] <vsync> well you could just install apache, php, db(s) and other stuff you need on the server
[00:41] <vsync> you wouldn't need 'xampp'
[00:41] <marabi2> forever1 are you there?
[00:42] <forever1> marabi2:  I am here
[00:42] <scwizard> nothing is unsing any cpu and the last thing that ran was "plugininstall.py"
[00:42] <scwizard> sooo... what do I do?
[00:42] <scwizard> I just want to install linux u_u
[00:42] <forever1> vsync: True, have you tried the gauke drop down console yet?
[00:42] <marabi2> that"s great forever
[00:43] <TedNJ42> I need some help please.  Every day my computer is going crazy.  My hard drive turns into a read-only hard drive and when I re-start my box, it tells me that the partition / is showing errors and then it says that the partition /tmp can not be found.  I have to Force it to check it and repair it but the next day, it happens again.  I have already replaced 2 hard drives and I still have the same
[00:43] <TedNJ42> problem.  Is there a bug in my system?  And, Does anyone know how I can fix that?
[00:43] <fishscene> Hello everyone. I am unable to log into Xfire via Empathy and I was wondering if anyone knew how to resolve it.
[00:43] <kjcole> (Rehi. Got cut off.)  Once again: Anyone know how to get the keyboard layout indicator to show? (Unity / Oneiric)
[00:43] <forever1> marabi2: are you on the #ubuntu chat only or other chat channels?
[00:44] <acerimmer> TedNJ42: MULTIPLE had failures?  I strongly suspect you've got hardware issues - failing HD card perhaps?  Short in the system?
[00:44] <kjcole> On a fresh install, it worked fine, but on an upgraded system, it's not showing, but key-combo Shift+CapsLock switches to a different layout.
[00:45] <marabi2> no am not only chatting on ubuntu
[00:45] <forever1> marabi2: same :)
[00:45] <TedNJ42> Acerimmer:  But, after I force a repair, it starts just fine.
[00:46] <jimmiekosmo> not exactly. I am trying to install an older version of ubuntu (10.10) so i downloaded the file and wrote the .iso to a cd. i booted into the cd and all that happens is that i boot into my current version of ubuntu (11.10)
[00:46] <marabi2> ok can you tell which side you are using again..
[00:46] <kjcole> Endless searches all say "It's easy. Just add more than one keyboard." However, no joy there.
[00:46] <acerimmer> TedNJ42: software repair shows OK but the issue comes back, right?  suspect hardware...
[00:46] <TedNJ42> Time to change the box.  Thanks acerimmer
[00:47] <jimmiekosmo> hello?
[00:47] <acerimmer> TedNJ42: swap driver cards = cheap fix
[00:47] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: greetings
[00:47] <fishscene> Has anyone been able to log on to Xfire in Empathy?
[00:47] <jimmiekosmo> hi, I am trying to install an older version of ubuntu (10.10) so i downloaded the file and wrote the .iso to a cd. i booted into the cd and all that happens is that i boot into my current version of ubuntu (11.10)
[00:48] <stoneguy> a
[00:48] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: and 11.10 is installed to your HDD?  change your bios to boot CDROM first not HDD
[00:48] <Jordan_U> jimmiekosmo: 1: Why are you trying to install an older version of Ubuntu 2: Are you sure that your BIOS booted from the CD?
[00:48] <donnybe> I am looking for genitally mutilated males for an investigative report.
[00:48] <donnybe> There is a significant possibility of nationwide publicity.
[00:48] <marabi2> hello
[00:49] <marabi2> hello
[00:49] <jimmiekosmo> thats what i did, i went to the boot options and selected my CDROM and it still happened
[00:49] <marcos> anyone here install cedet on emacs enviroment?
[00:49] <marabi2> hello
[00:49] <acerimmer> marabi2: greetings.  questions?
[00:50] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: bios changes have to be saved or they go back to default.
[00:50] <jimmiekosmo> oh, how do i do that?
[00:50] <marabi2> ok ask any question and i will answer if i can
[00:50] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: depends on your system. after changes, look for "save these changes"?
[00:51] <jimmiekosmo> it didnt say that anywhere, when i select the CDROM all it does is boot into my current OS
[00:52] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: make/model of computer
[00:52] <forever1> jimmiekosmo: sounds like the disk is'nt bootable
[00:52] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: change bios to cdrom boot only and see.  if no boot, bad cdrom
[00:53] <jimmiekosmo> its a dell inspiron 7010, and yes it is because i have booted into a disk in the past
[00:53] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: the cdrom you want to boot may be faulty.
[00:53] <marabi2> hey
[00:54] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: disable the boot from hdd option, set boot cdrom only.
[00:54] <jimmiekosmo> it isnt, it works fine with everything else
[00:54] <forever1>  jimmiekosmo: does the disk spin on startup?
[00:54] <jimmiekosmo> yes
[00:55] <forever1> jimmiekosmo: then either the bios is'nt setup to boot the cdrom or the drive is faulty
[00:56] <fishscene> Double-check that you downloaded the correct ISO
[00:56] <alteregod> help
[00:56] <forever1>  jimmiekosmo:  can you test another boot cd like another linux version
[00:56] <jimmiekosmo> OMG YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS YOU SAID THAT FIFTEEN TIMES ND I SAID THATS NOT THE CASE!
[00:56] <fishscene> !help > altergod
[00:56] <acerimmer> !shout
[00:56] <alteregod> i had a major problem, i had a apt-get update and then i jhad a broken pipe over ssh!
[00:57] <Oer>  jimmiekosmo next to the bios setting, do you see F8 boot options during boot ? or F10 maybe ..
[00:57] <alteregod>  a broken pipe, where is it broken?
[00:57] <jimmiekosmo> yes, f12
[00:57] <Oer> jimmiekosmo, oke, use that option too, select cd-dvd
[00:57] <forever1> jimmiekosmo:  we are trying to help via elimination
[00:58] <jimmiekosmo> i did before!
[00:58] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: very difficult to fix any problem when one is upset.  now might be a good time to take a break...
[00:58] <nobitanobi> How do I add a printer by its IP address/

[00:58] <marabi2> hey forever1 can i have your email or webside please
[00:59] <grubbyone> can someone help me fix grub? I'm trying to boot from /dev/sdf
[00:59] <jimmiekosmo> you guys are just mad that you are not smart enough to do your job.
[00:59] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: now you're trolling.  Stop or re-adjust
[00:59] <fishscene> jimmiekosmo: All of us here are volunteers. Assuming you downloaded the correct ISO (correct architecture and such), we are unable to really help with hardware problems.

[01:04] <mrmikehicks> Does anyone have info on broken lazarus in 12.04? Lazarus freezes on launch
[01:04] <grubbyone> boot info script says grub is installed to sda, how do I install it to sdf?
[01:04] <fishscene> nobitanobi: What happens when you go to system settings > printing > add > printer > network printer > find network printer > (type in IP address)?
[01:05] <bazhang> mrmikehicks, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 please
[01:05] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Can you boot from a GNU/Linux LiveCD?
[01:05] <grubbyone> I'm in a livecd now
[01:05] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Ok. What partition is Ubuntu installed to (the root filesystem)?
[01:06] <grubbyone> sdf1
[01:06] <nobitanobi> fishcenne if I follow system - administration - printing I get "Printing service not available., Start the service on this computer or connect to another server"
[01:07] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK. Run "sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/ && sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/ && sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/ && sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/ && sudo mount /dev/pts/ /mnt/dev/pts/ && sudo chroot /mnt/"
[01:07] <kazagistar> I wanted to do a minimal install of ubuntu, but when I tried to connect to a network, the install would freeze on a blank purple screen after connecting to dhcp
[01:07] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: After running that, your prompt should have changed to end with a '#' rather than a '$'. Tell me when your done.
[01:07] <grubbyone> jesus, hold on
[01:08] <grubbyone> gonna log in on the machine so I can copy
[01:08] <fishscene> Does anyone remember the name of the package that allows an admin to customize the look and feel of the desktop environment for new users who log in?
[01:08] <Graenis> If anyone's familiar with the sound interface on this os i'd appreciate some help in a pm.
[01:08] <bazhang> Graenis, ask here please
[01:08] <grubbyone_> can you say that again?
[01:09] <Graenis> Oh, okay.
[01:09] <grubbyone_> I got it, hold on
[01:09] <Culiforge> Any wisdom for a geforce 8400gs that's caused my 10.04 to stop booting?
[01:10] <nobitanobi> How do I find a printer by IP please?
[01:10] <grubbyone_> "/dev/pts is not a block device"
[01:10] <nobitanobi> when going to system-adminsitration-printing I get a message like Printing service not available., Start the service on this computer or connect to another server and I'm not even able to add a new printing
[01:10] <Graenis> Well, i'm not very familiar with the sound so i tried to configure my sound settings attempting to get my headset working, i even got "pavucontrol" because the internet suggested i do and starting off trying to get my headset working, i no longer have sound from my speakers.
[01:10] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK. Run "sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/ && sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/ && sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/ && sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/ && sudo mount --bind /dev/pts/ /mnt/dev/pts/ && sudo chroot /mnt/"
[01:10] <zykotick9> Culiforge: have you tried nomodeset?  see "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details
[01:11] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: (I fixed the bug in that command that I had earlier).
[01:11] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Just a second.
[01:11] <grubbyone_> according to mtab, /dev/sdf1 is already mounted on /mnt
[01:12] <kazagistar> since ubuntu minimal install disc is not working, is there some way to install full ubuntu and then strip gnome?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Since you've already done most of the mounting, we need to just continue where we left off with the error. Just run "sudo mount --bind /dev/pts/ /mnt/dev/pts/ && sudo chroot /mnt/"
[01:12] <bazhang> kazagistar, leaving just what?
[01:12] <acerimmer> kazagistar: stripping gnome would break all dependent packages
[01:12] <Graenis> It's actually quite embarassing,
[01:12] <grubbyone_> done
[01:12] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK. Your prompt has changed?
[01:13] <grubbyone_> yeah, at /
[01:13] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Good. Now run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc".
[01:13] <kazagistar> bazhang: well, optimally, just a minimal install where I could just have X and awesome running, and some other lightweight apps
[01:13] <grubbyone_> command line is empty
[01:13] <Culiforge> zykotick9: haven't done that, checking it out now, thanks
[01:13] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: It will ask you some questions, I'll tell you how to answer.
[01:13] <Veleno> hi, is there any way I can set my intel 3945abg wireless card to master mode? thank you a lot
[01:14] <Graenis> So, could anyone lend me a hand? i mean. when you're not busy
[01:14] <grubbyone_> would all these problems go away if I just swapped the sata ports of sda and sdf?
[01:14] <bazhang> !puregnome
[01:15] <grubbyone_> and then did a reinstall
[01:15] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: If you set your BIOS to boot from sda, then Ubuntu would boot properly. Re-installing Ubuntu is overkill, and we're almost done changing where grub's boot sector is installed.
[01:15] <grubbyone_> ok, it's asking for a linux command line
[01:15] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: For the first two questions (asking about linux cmdline) just press Enter to continue leaving them at their default (one will be empty by default, that's fine).
[01:16] <kazagistar> basically, I just want a "pureawesome" instead of gnome or kde or xfce
[01:17] <zykotick9> kazagistar: "pureawesome" that's funny.  I recently discovered awesome, and gotta say - I'm lovin' it.
[01:17] <bazhang> kazagistar, you could !purekde it and then just add awesome or what ever else you wanted
[01:17] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Are you at the question about install devices now?
[01:17] <bazhang> !purekde | kazagistar
[01:17] <grubbyone> rebooting with new settings
[01:17] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Wait.
[01:17] <grubbyone> beautiful
[01:17] <grubbyone> it works
[01:17] <bazhang> kazagistar, obviously skipping the step of installing kubuntu-desktop
[01:18] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Did you see the question about install devices? Did you change that setting?
[01:18] <Tetracomm> Do any of you know how to turn off a USB port at the command prompt in Ubuntu? Or any of the other ports? I just want a way to use the computer to switch things on and off.
[01:18] <LED1> off topic buc can i make xchat proxy/
[01:18] <grubbyone> yeah, just removed sda and added sdf
[01:18] <bazhang> LED1, try #xchat
[01:18] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK, that should work then.
[01:18] <grubbyone> it's a problem, every time I install, it always puts grub on the wrong drive
[01:18] <Graenis> Well guess i'll go look fer another chat! eheh.
[01:18] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know a very simple way to (via command line) turn a port on or off in Ubuntu? I want to turn off the power coming from it.
[01:18] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: (as long as your BIOS is set to boot from sdf). Feel free to reboot.
[01:18] <bazhang> Tetracomm, why would you want or need to do that
[01:19] <kazagistar> it is still super frustrating that my favorite distro is the only one that just randomly crashes when I try to do a minimal install on my netbook
[01:20] <bazhang> kazagistar, you get the link I posted?
[01:20] <kazagistar> I ended up using debian for a while before growing too frustrated with it, because at least it installed
[01:20] <_godhelpme> how do i make it so when I put a file in a folder that it uses the parent permissions
[01:20] <LED1> kazagistar:  Why?
[01:21] <fishscene> Does anyone remember the package that allows a system administrator to customize the desktop environment for new users who log on?
[01:21] <Culiforge> zykotick9: ok, giving it a go.. I'll be back when there's smoke coming out of my ears..
[01:21] <mouls|> Hi
[01:21] <fishscene> For example, I can change the desktop background, create launchers, etc... and when a brand new user logs in, everything is set up for them.
[01:22] <zykotick9> _godhelpme: gnu/linux is not microsoft, permissions are different.  New files/folders are determined by umask.
[01:22] <Tetracomm> bazhang: To turn an electric circuit on or off.
[01:22] <kazagistar> LED1: I struggled for many hours trying to get my sound to work, get various firmware working, etc, and did not succeed
[01:22] <LED1> I hated unity at first but it grows on you doesnt it
[01:22] <artichoku> howdie howdie! how's it hangin'?
[01:22] <_godhelpme> !umask
[01:22] <bazhang> artichoku, ubuntu support issue?
[01:22] <artichoku> LED1: you should turn on the activities thing, it's like a completely different OS
[01:23] <bazhang> Tetracomm, yes, but whatever for
[01:23] <LED1> kaz youll figure it out eventually but, i can understand the frustration.
[01:23] <bazhang> artichoku, what activities thing
[01:23] <zykotick9> _godhelpme: there is "man umask" if you want some details.
[01:23] <artichoku> i don't know exactly, i was messing with compiz settings and everything disappeared
[01:24] <artichoku> then i had one single bar at the top with an activities button
[01:24] <Ravior> someone knows how can you decrypt a GPG message
[01:24] <artichoku> and it's really badass
[01:24] <Ravior> for that launchpad link
[01:24] <bazhang> artichoku, completely blank desktop? no icons, nothing to click on etc?
[01:24] <artichoku> nope, just the top bar and an activities button
[01:24] <artichoku> and when you click on it, it shows open windows, and you can click on applications and it shows all your programs
[01:24] <bazhang> artichoku, this is using unity-3d?
[01:24] <artichoku> yuppers
[01:25] <artichoku> i have no idea how it appeared
[01:25] <artichoku> like i said i was messing with compiz
[01:25] <terios> hi
[01:25] <terios> hi
[01:25] <artichoku> i can log into my ubuntu partition and tell you the setting i have if you want
[01:25] <terios>  girl here
[01:25] <artichoku> but i love it
[01:25] <andy2587> Facing Intel Graphics issue on Latitude E6410, Ubuntu 11.10 - booting into black screen, workaround with grub parameter nomodeset is fine but throws me back to Vesa. Read so many threads and possible solutions, but nothing helps...please can anyone help ?
[01:25] <bazhang> terios, wrong network
[01:25] <terios> girl chat with me pls
[01:26] <bazhang> terios, no, stop asking
[01:26] <pangolin> terios: this is an Ubuntu support channel, not a dating service
[01:26] <terios> where ?
[01:26] <fishscene> terios: This is a support channel for Ubuntu. Please read the guidelines for this channel.
[01:26] <artichoku> terios is a 13 year old boy
[01:26] <bazhang> terios, NOT this network
[01:26] <pangolin> artichoku: no need for silly comments
[01:26] <terios> thanks
[01:26] <vbb> spaghetti!
[01:26] <artichoku> bazhang: i'm gonna reboot to ubuntu and tell you the settings
[01:26] <artichoku> brb
[01:26] <artichoku> pizza!
[01:27] <terios> thanks   very   much
[01:27] <terios> bye
[01:27] <terios> bye
[01:27] <_godhelpme> zykotick9: if I went umask 770 would that set the dir to use that mask
[01:28] <LED1> i think bunt is going in the right direction with unity although i hated it at first
[01:29] <vbb> hey you guys i need technical help here
[01:30] <MarcoAcheron> Which do you guys prefer: Tor or Cocoon?
[01:30] <vbb> i dont see foonetic.net on the irc list in gnome irc
[01:30] <vbb> how do i add it?
[01:30] <appleguru> how can I setup a PPTP vpn server on ubuntu that passes broadcast traffic both ways?
[01:30] <bazhang> vbb, what irc client
[01:31] <LED1> all bunt distros work rigt if you have the right hardware thats all im saying, sometimes you just need an upgrade.
[01:31] <vbb> im using xchat-GNOME
[01:31] <bazhang> LED1, ok. please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks
[01:31] <zykotick9> _godhelpme: umask applies to all created files/folders.  It's a subtraction from full permission so a umask of 770 would be no permission for user/group and full permission for Other (probably NOT what you want)
[01:32] <Culiforge> zykotick9: no joy with the boot param
[01:32] <LED1> i' just listening and throwing out random coments when i get bord i'm trying to learn and contribute here
[01:32] <Tellmarch> uh, i wanted to backup my home directory with scp -R, and it copied and copied and copied... going through links and copying the same data again and again -_-
[01:33] <zykotick9> Culiforge: sorry, i don't have any other suggestions.  (did you say "after upgrade" this started?)
[01:33] <Tellmarch> what's a good way to backup the whole home (with . folders) and only once ?
[01:33] <artichoku> ok back
[01:33] <bazhang> LED1, this is not the channel for that. please dont
[01:33] <vbb> nvm im reading the readme
[01:33] <artichoku> uploading some SS for you now bazhang
[01:33] <LED1> so whats the topic?
[01:33] <bazhang> Tellmarch, clone? like clonezilla?
[01:34] <Culiforge> zykotick9: no, installed geforce pcie card then reboot then dead system.. :(
[01:34] <artichoku> bazhang: http://imageshack.us/g/37/screenshotat20120202202.png/
[01:34] <bazhang> LED1, UBUNTU support. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic Please
[01:34] <Tellmarch> bazhang, i just want a command line to copy the whole home folder through ssh
[01:34] <artichoku> given, i added awn
[01:35] <bazhang> Tellmarch, rsync?
[01:35] <Tellmarch> well, will it do the same thing as scp?
[01:35] <Tellmarch> i copied about 50 GB of data to backup my 5GB home folder -_-
[01:35] <Tellmarch> before noticing it was copying in loops
[01:36] <zykotick9> Tellmarch: scp -r ?
[01:36] <Tellmarch> yes
[01:36] <Tellmarch> that's what i did
[01:36] <Bsims> Tellmarch: rsync is mostly the same thing, but if you are gonna do it more than once rsync is the way to go
[01:36] <Tellmarch> but my problem is that scp -r didn't work well at all
[01:37] <Tellmarch> copying 10 times the same data
[01:37] <Tellmarch> well, i'll look into rsync, thanks
[01:38] <artichoku> bazhang: did you look?
[01:39] <Culiforge> zykotick9: wait wait.. I didn't follow directions.. bbiab with report
[01:39] <bazhang> artichoku, yes, the bar on th e right is set to hide?
[01:40] <appleguru> brb
[01:40] <artichoku> it's not there at all
[01:40] <artichoku> it doesn't pop up if i move my mouse up there
[01:40] <artichoku> it's just gone
[01:40] <artichoku> but i really like whatever it was i did
[01:41] <bazhang> artichoku, what did you do? install awn then it went like that?
[01:41] <artichoku> i installed awn afterwards
[01:41] <artichoku> i was just in compiz trying to set up my destop cube
[01:41] <bazhang> artichoku, same issues with unity-2d-panel installed?
[01:41] <artichoku> it asked me to enable some things and disable others
[01:41] <artichoku> and it just came out like this
[01:41] <MarcoAcheron> Hey guys trying to decide which is better for private browsing: Cocoon or Tor?
[01:42] <artichoku> like i said, i really like it
[01:42] <artichoku> i just don't know how exactly i did it
[01:42] <bazhang> MarcoAcheron, try ##security perhaps
[01:42] <bazhang> artichoku, sounds like ccsm and some conflicting settings
[01:42] <artichoku> yuppers
[01:42] <artichoku> i just wish i knew what i did so i could make the laptop look like that
[01:43] <Bsims> artichoku: copy comiz.conf if it exists to the other machine?
[01:43] <artichoku> ooo good idea
[01:44] <MarcoAcheron> Thanks baz
[01:44] <Bsims> I mean its got a settings/config somewhere in your home dir
[01:44] <artichoku> alright everyone, movie time with the wife
[01:44] <artichoku> i'll see you all later
[01:51] <bite> How do I change the boot order on a partitioned drive?
[01:52] <bite> windows boots first.
[01:52] <bite> And I need to invert the order.
[01:52] <histo> !grub2 | bite
[01:52] <bazhang> bite, in the grub menu?
[01:52] <histo> bite: you dont' have to invert the order just change the default boot option
[01:52] <bite> I can't get the grub menu. It boots straight to windows.
[01:52] <histo> bite: so grub doesn't show up at all?
[01:53] <bite> histo: It does not.
[01:53] <histo> bite: did you install windows after linux?
[01:53] <bite> histo: I did not.
[01:53] <histo> bite: has it ever booted to linux?
[01:54] <bite> histo: never. It's a fresh linux install
[01:54] <jgn> exit
[01:55] <histo> bite: you need to boot the install cd again and reinstall grub boot loader
[01:55] <bite> histo: strictly grub
[01:55] <bite> ?
[01:55] <yva> hi there, I'm trying to use ubuntu 11.10 backup but my external HD is fat32, isn't that a problem?
[01:55] <histo> bite: yes grub2
[01:55] <histo> bite: follow the first link that ubottu showed
[01:56] <bite> histo: will it install over the windows-written mbr?
[01:56] <histo> bite: well you have to install over the windows mbr to have a selection
[01:56] <bite> additionally, why would it not overwrite it the first time i installed it?
[01:56] <histo> bite: unless you are using wubi
[01:56] <bite> histo: I'm not.
[01:56] <histo> bite: if you didn't tell it to overwrite the mbr it won't do it.
[01:57] <histo> bite: that is when you were installing
[01:57] <user_> hi folks
[01:57] <yva> is there an admin here?
[01:57] <histo> yva: there is a ubuntu-ops channel
[01:57] <user_> does anyone know who to get silc on ubuntu 11.10?
[01:58] <Culiforge> zykotick9: bah, still no joy
[01:58] <user_> pidgin removed silc
[01:58] <user_> sux
[01:58] <randomDude> I'm using ubuntu 11.10, when i open inkscape and then use the text tool, i see four million billion trillion zillion (etc, etc for dramatic desparation empahsis), <random numbers>- subset of XYZ fontname. What are these "subsets" ? How do i remove these useless things?
[02:00] <kazagistar> when
[02:01] <usr> hello, is there software to develop android apps for ubuntu/
[02:02] <histo> usr: you can get the android sdk in linux
[02:02] <histo> usr: i've seen people use eclipse also
[02:03] <usr> histo, I am new so I want to learn how to develop android apps... Can I get the sdk from the software center?
[02:03] <somsip> usr: you can also use Netbeans. No sdk from Adnroid dev site
[02:03] <histo> usr: there are youtube videos on how to setup eclipse with the android sdk
[02:03] <bite> histo: i'm getting a weird readout from
[02:03] <histo> usr: google used to have a website you could develop apps through as well. but I think it closed at the end of 2011 and MIT is taking it over
[02:04] <bite> "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label", and gparted it reporting to me a very strange configuration
[02:04] <histo> bite: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[02:04] <somsip> usr: bad punctuation on my last reply. No you don't get SDK from software center, you get it from Android dev site
[02:04] <bite> histo: /sda6 and /sda5 are subcategorized under /sda4. I haven't a clue why
[02:04] <bite> histo: i think an imagebin would be a bit better
[02:04] <MK13> histo: shame... Appinventor was nice for testing
[02:05] <histo> usr: appinventor was the name of it. That was the easiest way.  Not sure if MIT has it live again
[02:05] <histo> bite: well 5 and 6 would be extended partitions
[02:06] <gadak> gcc: error: elf_i386: No such file or directory///////////////////NE1 Solution?
[02:06] <bite> histo: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=6578
[02:06] <bite> histo: is there a maximum to the amount of partititions permitted on a disk?
[02:06] <histo> bite: yeah that's fine. You have an extended container with two partitions in it
[02:07] <bite> histo: how can i force it to boot into linux first, then?
[02:07] <flowerpot> I notice that sshd has options like PasswordAuthentication in ssh_config that I can set to allow or deny password-based authentication.  However, I thought PAM could do this too?  I can't seem to find out how to tell sshd to use PAM...does sshd use it by default?
[02:07] <histo> bite: yeah 4 primary partitions
[02:08] <histo> bite: that's why you have to use extended areas to have more than 4
[02:08] <bite> histo: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=6579
[02:08] <aaronh5> can anyone help me with some bash
[02:08] <bite> histo: should i remove some partitions then to make ubuntu boot first?
[02:09] <bite> histo: i can probably merge data with the c:\ drive
[02:09] <histo> bite: no it has nothing to do with the way your disk is partitioned. It's just that windows is on the MBR and has no idea that ubuntu exists
[02:09] <bite> histo: what will force ubuntu toi boot first then?
[02:10] <histo> bite: If you install grub2 to the MBR of the drive
[02:10] <bite> histo: i can do that following that link then
[02:10] <histo> bite: grub will create a boot menu for you. You can select windows or ubuntu to boot first
[02:10] <histo> bite: yes
[02:10] <histo> !grub2 | bite
[02:11] <bite> histo: yeah. Very well then. I'll try it via terminal then.
[02:11] <histo> bite: specifically the restooregrub link
[02:11] <bite> histo: one issue, since they're extended, i can't follow that tutorial via command line
[02:11] <bite> histo: how do i install Boot-Repair then?
[02:12] <bite> histo: nevermind, it's an iso
[02:13] <bite> histo: nevermind, it's on a diffrerent repository
[02:13] <bite> histo: thanks for your help.
[02:15] <histo> bite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[02:15] <crash82> Hello, my terminator screen doesn' t show bash command line, can't understand why any ideas? Using gnome desktop
[02:15] <histo> bite: look at the that link
[02:16] <bite> histo: I've got it.
[02:17] <almoxarife> crash82: start terminator from the basic terminal, any errors shown?
[02:17] <histo> bite: you should be using grub2 if you have anything later than ubuntu 9.10
[02:18] <crash82> almoxarife, none
[02:19] <crash82> almoxarife, going to try to install terminator 0.96 (latest version) to see if the same happens
[02:19] <possible1994> My memory card reader worked perfectly for the first week with an SD card, and now it does not. I do not recall any system configuration changes that would affect this.
[02:19] <battle_warrior> Hii, i have a server box thats connected wirelessly to  my home network, when i tried to connect to it it says "connection refused" can i get help conecting to it
[02:20] <almoxarife> crash82: uninstall/purge terminator after removing the local conf folder, then re-install it
[02:20] <possible1994> What cli string should I use to display all USB peripherals detected?
[02:20] <flowerpot> I see lines beginning with @include in my pam.conf -- I understand include, but what's with the @?
[02:20] <franc> test
[02:21] <zykotick9> possible1994: lsusb
[02:21] <felipe_Brz> I run ubuntu 11.04. Can I make my apt-get install command point to the repositories of the newer Ubuntu versions so I can get newer software?
[02:21] <somsip> !test | franc
[02:21] <flowerpot> felipe_, you could, but i don't think you'd want to.  there would be compatibility problems, i believe
[02:22] <crash82> almoxarife, going to try
[02:22] <almoxarife> felipe_Brz: you will cause a distribution upgrade that may not work
[02:23] <felipe_Brz> flowerpot: hmm...so if I want to say, download a newer version of php than what's available in my repo, then I have to add a 3rd party PPA?
[02:24] <battle_warrior> i cannot connect to my server box via the local host due to "connection refused" is there anyway to go around it?
[02:24] <almoxarife> felipe_Brz: yes, or compile it, the ppa choice is the key, anyone can create a ppa
[02:24] <flowerpot> felipe_Brz, I mean you could try adding a repo for a version of ubuntu that isn't the one you have, but it seems like it'd be path to confusion and badness
[02:25] <crash82> almoxarife, did it... but did not work after leaving terminator this appears "<Window object at 0x27baa00 (terminatorlib+window+Window at 0x2842050)> is not in registered window list"
[02:27] <danes> I am trying to install eclipse from software center but it tells me to check my internet connection. I got this:  http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6-jdk_6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.166 80]
[02:27] <StepNjump> hi guys, I am looking for a way to find apps that are written for CLI (or terminal).. For example, I am currently looking for a CRM app (Customer Relationship Manager) in which I could add my clients... I found some already but none of them are made for CLI, they are to be run in X... any ideas? Or am I too old style dynausaur?
[02:27] <danes> anyone know how can I fix it?
[02:27] <almoxarife> crash82: no idea what that is about
[02:28] <Roge152> Currently getting between 50-69KBPS from ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[02:28] <Roge152> Thats insanely slow.
[02:29] <Roge152> Given my connection is 75mbps
[02:29] <almoxarife> crash82: does terminator work?
[02:29] <mukaibot> StepNjump: You're an old dinosaur :)
[02:29] <mukaibot> StepNjump: How about a web based CRM system? There are lots of those, and most thin clients can surely run a web browser
[02:29] <qmanjr5> Is there a GUI option for Samba?
[02:29] <Roge152> I tried going into the software center to change repos, but it crash's everytime before it even loads.
[02:30] <almoxarife> Roge152: you dont need to use that server, choose another, if all of them are at the same low rate then blame your connection
[02:30] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: Yes
[02:30] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: for configuration or browsing?
[02:30] <trapecistak> Why does wget don't show the progress bar when run inside a bash script?
[02:30] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: configuration
[02:30] <Roge152> I doubt its my connection almoxarife, Im getting blazing speeds in windows
[02:30] <Roge152> Is there a list somewhere of repos almoxarife ?
[02:30] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: web based: SWAT, GUI based: gadmin
[02:31] <urlin2u> Roge152, the repo change is also in software sources, not sure if you need synaptic installed to access, probably not.
[02:31] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: do I just install those via apt-get?
[02:31] <battle_warrior> im trying to conect to my local host via putty .... but whenever i try it keeps saying connection refused the server box is ubuntu... im trying to connect to it via windows can i plz get some help
[02:31] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: apt-get install gadmin-samba
[02:31] <Roge152> Yeah, but the GUI tool keeps crashing urlin2u, so im looking for a list of the repo urls's so I can go in and change them manually.
[02:31] <almoxarife> Roge152: there is, part of the install app, 'sources' perhaps?
[02:31] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: I think it's easier to configure via the command line if you just want to share a folder.
[02:32] <urlin2u> Roge152, have you gried softare sorces from the search?
[02:32] <urlin2u> tried*
[02:32] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: well I tried. :P I got lost
[02:32] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: what seems to trip many people up is they forget the need to run smbpasswd
[02:32] <urlin2u> software sources Roge152
[02:32] <Roge152> well, there is the software centre, but it keeps crashing.
[02:32] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: what specifically is the issue you're having with your samba configuration?
[02:32] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: If I messaged you, could you help me set it up? I'm not sure what a few of these options should be
[02:32] <postrye> anybody want to help me make up my mind?   I am in the market for a laptop... should I buy a new dell, a system76, or find a used one.  All I need is a machine that can do some light web development and browsing.
[02:33] <urlin2u> Roge152, there is also one I name type it into the dash sarch.
[02:33] <urlin2u> search
[02:33] <battle_warrior> sorry for leaving somethng closed my irc, could i get help to my question i had earlier
[02:33] <crash82> almoxarife, it opens the windows just doesn't show the prompt
[02:33] <Roge152> I don't seem to have it urlin2u
[02:33] <bazhang> postrye, thats out of scope for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware please
[02:33] <postrye> right on, thank you
[02:34] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: The main one is the host name I should be using.
[02:34] <qmanjr5> and whether or not I should change the "allowed hosts and networks" "handles connection on" etc
[02:34] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: is this for a home environment?
[02:34] <qmanjr5> yes
[02:35] <urlin2u> Roge152, I had synaptic crashing in oneric I found a fix for it what is your release your running?
[02:35] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: in that case I wouldn't really bother about restricting via networks and hosts, because you probably only have a single subnet
[02:35] <qmanjr5> Right.
[02:35] <Roge152> 11.10 (non updated yet)
[02:35] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: you need to useradd each account you want, and then give them an smbpasswd
[02:35] <urlin2u> Roge152, hold on
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: man useradd and man smbpasswd :)
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Huh
[02:36] <Roge152> k
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Kay
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Can't i just login via the user I'm using on my Ubuntu box?
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: how many machines do you have? how many user accounts?
[02:36] <battle_warrior> im realy not trying to be annoying, but it seems people are totally ignoring my question and yet answering others,  Once again i ask can someone help me find a solution for me to connect to my server box via local host, whenever i try to connect to it using putty it says connection refused... its ubuntu 10.4 im trying to connect to it via windows 7
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: yes, you can do that too
[02:36] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: I have 2 other Windows boxes.
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: make sure you smbpasswd your user account then
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Alright
[02:37] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: Can you see the shares from your Windows machines?
[02:37] <qmanjr5> No, not yet.
[02:37] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: assuming you want go access files on your Ubuntu machine from Windows right?
[02:37] <StepNjump> Is there a listing somewhere on the internet for most of all applications that run under CLI (or terminal) somewhere? I don't like the apps running under X much
[02:37] <qmanjr5> Yes, that's what I want to do.
[02:38] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: ok cool. Good news is it's pretty straight forward.
[02:38] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: step 1 - edit smb.conf so that it has your shares
[02:38] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: step 2 - set up your user/s with smbpasswd
[02:38] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: I'm using gadmin. =3
[02:39] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: you'll still need each user to have a valid smbpasswd
[02:39] <qmanjr5> I just finished what I'm sharing
[02:39] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: not sure if gadmin helps you with that
[02:39] <qmanjr5> Can't I set that in gadmin too?
[02:39] <qmanjr5> I think it does
[02:39] <mukaibot> yeah, give it a shot
[02:39] <jhon> hi salut
[02:39] <qmanjr5> Alright, that part is done.
[02:39] <qmanjr5> What now?
[02:40] <jhon> french
[02:40] <jhon> no french in room
[02:40] <mukaibot> can you see the shares from your Windows machine? And get access denied / logon box?
[02:40] <qmanjr5> Hold on, I'll go check. They're in a different room. :P
[02:40] <qmanjr5> Where would they be under, "Network"?
[02:40] <mukaibot> try rdesktop
[02:40] <qmanjr5> Hmm?
[02:40] <mukaibot> that will give you RDP access to your Windows machines
[02:41] <qmanjr5> Oh
[02:41] <jhon> bon je quitte
[02:41] <mukaibot> unless they run homeless editions
[02:41] <bazhang> jhon, #ubuntu-fr
[02:41] <ouyes> what do you think about ubuntu 11.10
[02:41] <bazhang> ouyes, its the latest release
[02:41] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: what options do I use for rdesktop?
[02:41] <qmanjr5> I've never used it before.
[02:41] <mukaibot> ah, never mind then
[02:42] <mukaibot> figure it out for next time :)
[02:42] <jhon> thanks bazhang
[02:42] <qmanjr5> :P Alright
[02:42] <ouyes> bazhang, I know man, I mean do you like it
[02:42] <qmanjr5> I'll be right back then, gunna check the Windows machine
[02:42] <mukaibot> it will be faster to go to the other room :)
[02:42] <kazagistar> oy, how do I know if ubuntu installation has frozen? it has been "configuring target system" at the same spot in the progress bar for half an hour or so now
[02:42] <bazhang> ouyes, sure; did you have a support question? chat is for #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:42] <mukaibot> kazagistar: do you have a shell?
[02:43] <kazagistar> mukaibot: ctrl+alt+f1 and I am there
[02:43] <flowerpot> I just ran sudo service sshd and got sshd: unrecognized service.  But sshd is running!  How do I perform operations like start/stop with upstart if not via service?
[02:43] <bazhang> kazagistar, installing the full ubuntu-desktop suite? something else
[02:43] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: It says I don't have access.
[02:43] <qmanjr5> But the Ubuntu box is listed.
[02:44] <kazagistar> bazhang: newest 64 bit unity ubuntu, through the basic graphical installer
[02:44] <StepNjump> what is a good free crm here on ubuntu
[02:44] <bazhang> kazagistar, I'd give it a bit more time
[02:44] <bazhang> StepNjump, free crm? such as?
[02:45] <kazagistar> bazhang: when I tried to use the minimal installer earlier it froze while trying to establish a network connection, so I decided to try this way instead
[02:45] <bazhang> kazagistar, the live cd? the alternate cd?
[02:45] <qmanjr5> mukaibot?
[02:46] <kazagistar> bazhang: livecd, dd'ed to an external
[02:46] <bazhang> StepNjump, care to give an example?
[02:47] <ouyes> bazhang, that is a support question, thing is I do not know if 11.10 is better than my 10.04, and what features does 11.10 have
[02:47] <bazhang> !notes | ouyes
[02:47] <bazhang> ouyes, better is subjective, please dont poll here
[02:47] <bazhang> !poll > ouyes
[02:47] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: yeah, now on the Ubuntu box, smbpasswd for your user
[02:48] <qmanjr5> I wasn't given a login box though
[02:48] <qmanjr5> Just a not allowed.
[02:48] <mukaibot> kazagistar: does "top" show you anything useful? That the process is still running?
[02:48] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: you'll need to allow Listing
[02:48] <mukaibot> err
[02:48] <qmanjr5> Now, this would be so much easier if I knew what that meant
[02:48] <mukaibot> browsing
[02:49] <qmanjr5> That too.
[02:49] <mukaibot> so in /etc/samba/smb.conf you need to add Browsable = yes
[02:49] <mukaibot> not sure how you do that in the gadmin tool
[02:49] <qmanjr5> It ahs a Tab for it :D
[02:49] <kazagistar> mukaibot: the process is ubiquity, right?
[02:50] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: There are a bunch of shares, right. And most of them have Browseable=yes
[02:51] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: go to the one you want, and set browsable = yes
[02:52] <qmanjr5> They already are.
[02:52] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: ok good
[02:52] <mukaibot> kazagistar: that does sound correct
[02:52] <qmanjr5> so why is it still not showing on my Windows machines?
[02:53] <mukaibot> is it showing up on your machines, or giving you access denied?
[02:53] <qmanjr5> Access denied
[02:53] <qmanjr5> but no login form
[02:54] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: try restarting smbd (just to make sure gadmin applied the changes)
[02:54] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: can you post your smb.conf somewhere?
[02:54] <qmanjr5> SUre. If you tell me how to restart smbd
[02:55] <mukaibot> sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart
[02:56] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: Reset. Shall I go check it?
[02:56] <mukaibot> sure
[02:57] <kazagistar> dunno, at this point, I have been at the same place on the progress bar for much much longer then it usually takes to install the whole OS... should I just try again or something?
[02:58] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: same thing.
[02:58] <qmanjr5> Rather
[02:58] <qmanjr5> It said that it couldn't find the path
[02:58] <qmanjr5> or something to that affect
[02:58] <mukaibot> try entering the IP address of your Ubuntu box then. Sounds like you don't have DNS working..
[02:58] <rallias> is there any sort of guide on how to write a simple DE with the likes of openbox?
[02:58] <mukaibot> rallias: you're kidding right?
[02:59] <rallias> mukaibot: absolutely not, I want a computer like the one in Person of Interest
[02:59] <mukaibot> rallias: don't go saying that in #openbox!
[02:59] <mukaibot> rallias: can you program in C++?
[02:59] <rallias> Yeah
[02:59] <mukaibot> kazagistar: try having a look at /var/log/syslog.1
[02:59] <mukaibot> kazagistar: try having a look at /var/log/syslog
[03:00] <mukaibot> rallias: I haven't seen Person of Interest, but maybe you can theme OpenBox?
[03:00] <rallias> mukaibot is there a guide on how to do that?
[03:00] <mukaibot> rallias: otherwise, have a look at the OpenBox code (it *is* open source you know ;)
[03:00] <rallias> the problem with looking at the code is my programming is write only
[03:00] <mukaibot> rallias: I don't know, but Google probably does
[03:01] <kaushal> Hi
[03:01] <kaushal> is there a way to split nautilus into two vertical panes
[03:01] <kaushal> just to copy from one window to another window
[03:02] <Toph2> kaushal,,, F3
[03:03] <kaushal> Toph2: and another 3 pane ?
[03:03] <kaushal> is that possible ?
[03:03] <Toph2> kaushal,,, i'm not sure about that
[03:03] <kaushal> Toph2: thanks
[03:03] <Toph2> np
[03:05] <kazagistar> mukaibot: only thing that looks interesting is an ubiquity message "/usr/bin/casper-reconfigure: package 'gnome-panel-data' is not installed" occured, and then nothing until some messages about changing framebuffers to the terminal an hour later (nowish)
[03:05] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: Whenever I enter my computer's IP, it brings me to my website. I have an apache server set up as well. Would that affect it?
[03:07] <frybye> hi - how do I setup indicator-weather properly - to autostart with the pc etc..?
[03:08] <qmanjr5> mukaibot? (sorry for being so impatient, someone is waiting fo rthie computer :P)
[03:09] <brad87> there are too many NIGGERS in here
[03:09] <qmanjr5> Whoa.
[03:09] <brad87> dont i get banned for saying that?
[03:09] <qmanjr5> Apparently not, though you should.
[03:09] <brad87> i know, right
[03:10] <bobb> SO OFFENSIVE
[03:10] <nils_> maybe you were using it as a term of endearment?
[03:10] <brad87> im not even racist
[03:10] <bobb> duh
[03:10] <kazagistar> !offtopic
[03:10] <brad87> i just want to be banned
[03:10] <frybye> anybody got some info on setting up the indicator-weather?
[03:11] <brad87> yes, go into your indicator-weather control panel, and hit the set-up tab
[03:11] <appleguru> how can I set up a PPTP VPN server on ubuntu that passes broadcast traffic both ways?
[03:12] <brad87> goto the PPTP VPN control panel, and click the checkbox that says "send both ways"
[03:12] <frybye> brad87: my problem ist to get the indicator-weather thing to auto-start with the pc -
[03:13] <brad87> thr this command: indicator-weather --startwithpc
[03:13] <bite> sudo apt-get unstinstall or sudo apt-get remove?
[03:13] <brad87> both
[03:13] <osmosis> whats the cmd to reconfigure a package?
[03:13] <brad87> dpkg --reconfigure
[03:14] <bite> brad87: which does what when?
[03:14] <brad87> they both do the same
[03:14] <auk> Why does it seem as though after a while of using Ubuntu, all my icons and graphics seems to "Degrade"?
[03:14] <frybye> brad87: thanks - one happy Nigg*
[03:15] <auk> Well, I'm actually on Linuxmint,      BUT in the past of using Ubuntu, this happens.
[03:15] <brad87> because ubuntu has an expiry date, it slowly sours, just like milk and yogurt
[03:15] <bite> brad87: they're absolutely identical?
[03:15] <auk> !language | Frybye
[03:15] <brad87> yep, same as apples and oranges
[03:15] <nivyaj> what's a mail program similar to outlook for ubuntu?
[03:15] <bite> brad87: how would i remove packages assoicated, the dependencies?
[03:16] <brad87> format and clean-install
[03:16] <auk> I've never really cared all too much about this since I was using an old machine and decided to stop using gnome all together.
[03:16] <mukaibot> nivyaj: why would you want anything like Outlook?!?!!?!?
[03:16] <xangua> nivyaj: thunderbird is the default mail client now
[03:16] <zykotick9> nivyaj: thunderbird from mozilla, or evolution for gnome
[03:16] <nivyaj> mukaibot:  I LOVE OUTLOOK
[03:16] <mukaibot> nivyaj: Evolution is more like Outlook
[03:16] <auk> Now that I'm using an all exciting new computer. THIS MATTERS to me now.        I'm so sad my icons downgrades. :S
[03:16] <brad87> if you want outlook, pirate xp and use outlook
[03:16] <nivyaj> Ok, thanks guys
[03:17] <mukaibot> nivyaj: good luck!
[03:17] <brad87> keep your linux partition in a fridge when not in use, this will keep it looking better, longer
[03:18] <pangolin> brad87: Clearly you are trying to elicit some sort of reaction from the ops. I suggest you /msg ubottu !guidelines and read them before you get banned
[03:18] <brad87> white power!
[03:18] <mukaibot> pangolin: I think he just wants some attention
[03:18] <auk> nivyaj: Thunderbird does the job.
[03:19] <auk> Thanks pangolin. I bet it's that same frybye fool I don't like.
[03:19] <wenxiang> d
[03:19] <wenxiang>  
[03:19] <wenxiang>  
[03:19] <wenxiang>  
[03:19] <wenxiang>  
[03:19] <FloodBot1> wenxiang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:20] <auk> nivyaj: Wait, what email service you're using? Hotmail would make you pay to login to use an email client. (I never tested with Outlook, but I can only assume).
[03:20] <mukaibot> auk: Hotmail is free
[03:20] <mukaibot> auk: you can use ActiveSync with it :D
[03:20] <bobb> Hello everyone, I'm having trouble installing a .iso file onto a usb flashdrive. I'm using the livecd's included software: Make Startup Disk. Right now, it will install Ubuntu 11.10i386, so I want to change it to Fedora. So I downloaded a Fedora livecd .iso, pressed the "Other..." button, selected a Fedora .iso, and confirm. But, it still is going to install Ubuntu, and not not Fedora. What do I do?
[03:20] <mukaibot> auk: just like Gmail
[03:20] <auk> Thunderbird for Email is really nice. Check it out in Ubuntu's Software manager.            OR run this command: sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[03:21] <auk> mukaibot: I know to use hotmail is free. But it's not free to use inside thunderbird.
[03:21] <bobb> Not to sound like a traitor
[03:21] <mukaibot> auk: sure it is
[03:21] <auk> Well, then thunderbird is something you're lookiing for then. If you can do that for free.
[03:21] <xangua> bobb: that tool is only for ubuntu, use unetbootin instead
[03:22] <selite> I have an unrelated problem, however any help is appreciated. My sony vaio charger makes a strange noise and it won't charge my laptop. Is it dead?
[03:22] <xangua> auk: hotmail supports free pop since two years ago
[03:22] <Yourname`> Hello. Does anyone have knowledge of AWstats and Webmin on Ubuntu? I get this error: The logfile analysis command /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl was not found on your system. Maybe AWStats is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect - after installing awstats by webmin.
[03:23] <bobb> xangu: I'll try it out
[03:23] <auk> xangua: Ewww, I hate pop.            imap > pop...
[03:23] <mukaibot> selite: yeah, sounds like it is dead
[03:23] <zykotick9> !webmin | Yourname`
[03:23] <selite> mukaibot: Thank you.
[03:23] <auk> Pfft, free POP is M$'s excuse to free up some diskspace on their mail server in some way.
[03:24] <Yourname`> zykotick9: Thanks
[03:24] <auk> I'm sure of it.
[03:24] <auk> Or at least think that's it.
[03:24] <mukaibot> selite: Don't try to repair it! They are dangerous!
[03:24] <fellayaboy> Whats the difference between vpn and ssh
[03:24] <selite> mukaibot: No, I just wanted to make sure. I will get a new one.
[03:24] <auk> Because POP will send you all the emails, and then remove whatever you received from email server.
[03:24] <nils_> auk: don't be ridiculous. It doesn't run on real hardware, it's all in the cloud, dude.
[03:24] <mukaibot> selite: ok good!
[03:24] <xangua> auk: they keep copy of your emal if you set it on the preferences
[03:24] <fellayaboy> I use ssh alot but never used vpn
[03:25] <whoever> Yourname`: what are the permissons on that log file maybe those arn wrong
[03:25] <auk> xangua: Hmm, I've neevr seen such an option before, I'll look into that. Thanks.
[03:25] <bite> How do i install java on linux?
[03:25] <xangua> that option is by default also auk
[03:25] <bite> ubuntu, to be specific.
[03:25] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: VPN connects you to a network (ie, you get an IP on that network), ssh is just a one-to-one connection between two devices. Both are encrypted
[03:25] <Yourname`> whoever: What log file?
[03:25] <auk> bite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java             <---- There you go.
[03:25] <bite> thanks auk
[03:26] <bite> but do i need the jdk or jre?
[03:26] <xangua> bite: you can install openjdk from repositories, i don¿t know if java is still on ubuntu repos; you can also download it from java.com and install it manually
[03:26] <auk> bite: JRE.  Java runtime.                  JDK = Java Development Kit.
[03:26] <fellayaboy> Ooh so with vpn i get an ip address from that network so wgen i browse the internet im using that public.ip address...the remotes..?
[03:26] <bite> auk: JRE it is then.
[03:26] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: it depends how your routing is set up
[03:27] <fellayaboy> Hmm
[03:27] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: typically no
[03:27] <auk> xangua: You suggested JDK because it would come with both?
[03:27] <fellayaboy> Hmm
[03:27] <auk> Most dev stuff seems to come with both anyway.
[03:27] <fellayaboy> Still so confused
[03:27] <nils_> fellayaboy: that depends on how you set it up. I have a vpn with a remote location so I can access that private network, still use my regular ISP to go online but I could also use a gateway on that network
[03:27] <whoever> Yourname`: /var/log/
[03:27] <xangua> auk: i suggested OpenJDK
[03:27] <Yourname`> whoever: What does the log file have to do with awstats?
[03:27] <bite> auk: JDK is strictly for development, yes?
[03:27] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: if your goal is to change your IP address for websites, a proxy is probably a better choice
[03:27] <Yourname`> whoever: Because when I installed it via webmin, I don't see awstats.pl installed at all :S
[03:28] <fellayaboy> I see
[03:28] <auk> fellayaboy: VNC is just some fancy cool remote desktop thingy (An alternative since RDP for window-ish systems sucks).
[03:28] <auk> bite: And for people interested in creating java programs.
[03:28] <mukaibot> auk: I don't think we're talking about VNC
[03:29] <auk> OH VPN.
[03:29] <whoever> Yourname`: well i ausmed it was all there try to install the mod manually, honestly I haven't used webmin in years
[03:29] <auk> Ah, gotcha.
[03:29] <mukaibot> auk: :)
[03:29] <bite> auk: very well then, thanks.
[03:29] <fellayaboy> So with a vpn.its like connecting to the shared folders
[03:29] <mukaibot> not quite
[03:29] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: there are several types of VPNs
[03:29] <whoever> Yourname`: maybe you need to just install the modual again
[03:29] <Yourname`> whoever: Thanks. I installed it via webmin first, then did an apt-get and that's when I saw awstats.pl, but even when I put the path to awstats.pl in the webmin module config, it still doesn't show..
[03:29] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: but they all do the same thing; connect you to a network
[03:29] <fellayaboy> Its like ita physically connected to tje network where i can access the resources such as shared folders
[03:29] <auk> Doesn't VPN feature already exists in Ubuntu, to just set it up along with your normal wifi/wired internet configurations (GUI) or you're trying to like SSH VNC it?
[03:30] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: yes
[03:30] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: shared folders, printers, internal websites...etc
[03:30] <fellayaboy> Ohhhhhh
[03:30] <fellayaboy> I want total privacy while on the net....
[03:30] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: that's not possible :)
[03:30] <fellayaboy> I heard von ca
[03:31] <mukaibot> von ca?
[03:31] <needhelp23323> hello everyone , im having problem installing openssh-server on ubuntu netbook edition
[03:31] <whoever> Yourname`: is awstats depmecated, those mods don't allways work, when i used webmin few of the mods worked as described
[03:31] <nils_> fellayaboy: maybe you are looking for something like TOR?
[03:31] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: what's the issue?
[03:31] <fellayaboy> Sorry i heard can protect u..its better than tor i heard
[03:31] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827194/
[03:31] <Yourname`> whoever: Ah ok, I'm trying to find something like awstats for webmin. Do you recommend anything that works?
[03:31] <fellayaboy> Sites like the piratebay use a vpn i heard and if u browse to share files i should use a vpn i heard
[03:32] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: what have you done? LOL
[03:32] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: nothing
[03:32] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: lol...
[03:32] <auk> fellayaboy: VPN basiclly is this:                Point to point connection.        It will feel as though you're part of a network from another side of the world (REMOTE).       And you can share files between computers  as if you're reaally on the other side of the world.         Many people use VPN as a proxy server.
[03:32] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: can you paste /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:32] <whoever> Yourname`: personaly i think webmin is just another layer of crap when the modual can be implemented to almost any server
[03:32] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827207/
[03:32] <mukaibot> auk: VPN and Proxy are not the same
[03:33] <holstein> needhelp23323: what version is that? are the repos still up?.. i think the 10.10 ones are down..
[03:33] <pangolin> mukaibot: run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade , then try to install openssh again
[03:33] <whoever> Yourname`: does it hAve to be webmin
[03:33] <nils_> fellayaboy: well you could have a vpn into a network with some obscure foreign provider that doesn't give your details away, there are services for that. However that's beyond the scope of this channel.
[03:33] <needhelp23323> holstein: its 10.04
[03:33] <auk> mukaibot: Pretty much is in the way people uses it.     (As it achieves the same effect as if you wanted proxy).

[03:36] <whoever> Yourname`: try doing it this way, i think the webmin ui is a Pos For the most part https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AWStats
[03:36] <needhelp23323> pangolin: doesnt work
[03:36] <bobb> xangu: Thank you, unetbootin worked great
[03:37] <holstein> needhelp23323: whats the exact error and way its not working?
[03:37] <Yourname`> whoever: Taking a look now, hold up (thanks btw)
[03:37] <needhelp23323> holstein: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827194/
[03:37] <whoever> Yourname`: the other thing  I came across is logiholic
[03:37] <holstein> needhelp23323: did you check that link i pasted? you can try fixing in synaptic as well
[03:37] <whoever> Yourname`: yw
[03:37] <acerimmer> ProGimp: deviant art?
[03:38] <auk> Haiiii ProGimp.
[03:38] <flowerpot> Is there an easy way to completely purge an installed program after you've installed it from source without using a package manager?
[03:38] <needhelp23323> holstein: what thats does
[03:38] <whoever> Yourname`: whats server are you runnin' apache, lightty?
[03:39] <auk> flowerpot: Source uninstall with 'make uninstall'.
[03:39] <ProGimp> Yeah I have search in Deviantart but I coudn't find one that are been using Ubuntu
[03:39] <flowerpot> auk, would you run that from the same directory where you run /.configure and make etc?
[03:39] <needhelp23323> holstein: sorry kinda new to linux , idk what it tells me to do
[03:39] <auk> flowerpot: Exactly.
[03:39] <holstein> needhelp23323: check it out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How_to_fix_broken_packages ... its in the menu "fix broken packages". it literaly cant hurt
[03:39] <flowerpot> auk, didn't know about that!  thanks.
[03:39] <auk> flowerpot: You're welcome :3
[03:40] <Yourname`> whoever: apache2. Oh, also, this awstats doesn't detect new domains coming in to it, does it? Because when I register domains, I point ns to it and they all go to default /var/www and that's when I want awstats to see that requests for newdomain.com are coming in and it needs to start putting it all together. Anything like that?
[03:40] <pangolin> holstein: i think the problem is that openssh-server is looking for an older version of a openssh-client than is available in the repo, looks like a bug report is needed.
[03:41] <holstein> maybe.. its working for my lucis servers though
[03:41] <holstein> lucid*
[03:41] <mukaibot> pangolin: holstein; reckon uninstalling openssh-client; apt-get install openssh-server would fix it?
[03:41] <acerimmer> ProGimp: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16 & http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334 & http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335
[03:41] <pangolin> mukaibot: worth a shot
[03:41] <holstein> mukaibot: i was thinking that would be a good idea too
[03:41] <holstein> needhelp23323: ^^
[03:41] <macer1> hello :3 I have problems with hard drive at my dedicated server. smart => http://paste.ubuntu.com/827240/ - is it dead :/ ?
[03:41] <needhelp23323> holstein: wheres synpatic
[03:42] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: try this: sudo apt-get remove openssh-client ; sudo apt-get install open-sshserver
[03:42] <holstein> needhelp23323: its in the menu, but try ^^
[03:42] <mukaibot> shit,sorry, typo in that last bit
[03:42] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: try this: sudo apt-get remove openssh-client ; sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:42] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: k ill try
[03:42] <macer1> there are input/output errors everywhere
[03:43] <mukaibot> macer1: back up your data QUICKLY!
[03:43] <macer1> damn it :D
[03:43] <macer1> I rebooted to recovery and backuped
[03:43] <macer1> to external ftp
[03:43] <macer1> first running fsck
[03:43] <whoever> Yourname`: don't know i haven't used it in a while, i am currently  not useing any analizer, i just found another analazer http://www.jawstats.com/demo
[03:44] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: hahaha it WORKS !

[03:44] <flowerpot> auk, what if I'm installing a ruby program from source? e.g. rubygems.  it seems to be installed via a ruby script...
[03:44] <macer1> what now :D
[03:44] <pangolin> mukaibot: nice job. needhelp23323 glad you got it working.
[03:44] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: 100 points
[03:44] <mukaibot> lol - it's a team effort
[03:44] <mukaibot> glad you got it working
[03:44] <mukaibot> macer1: replace the disk
[03:44] <macer1> ymmm
[03:44] <needhelp23323> hm, so i dont really need the client :P ?
[03:44] <macer1> it is OVH job to do it :D
[03:45] <mukaibot> SMART is pretty useless. Once it detects an error, the drive is just about dead.
[03:45] <auk> flowerpot: Then you may have to refer to their:         ruby    (installer softwarename)     --help           or something similar that would give you an uninstall option.
[03:45] <ProGimp> hey anyone have tried installing Adobe Premiere in Ubuntu? I love to know before will install it
[03:45] <flowerpot> auk, i see.
[03:45] <auk> Or installer command  --help
[03:45] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: you do need the client, removing it allowed apt-get to install the correct version, along with the server
[03:45] <bazhang> ProGimp, check the appdb
[03:45] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: somehow the installer got confused.
[03:45] <bazhang> !appdb | ProGimp
[03:46] <bazhang> ProGimp, then /join #winehq
[03:46] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: this is the tutorial i need to setup the server ? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/setup-openssh-server-on-ubuntu-linux/
[03:46] <macer1> well the errors started when
[03:46] <macer1> I was deleting 1tb of old backups :3
[03:46] <whoever> Yourname`: what about phpadmin , is there some loging implimination in there that willl give the staes your Looking for
[03:47] <Yourname`> whoever: A few years ago, I remember using awstats with it lol
[03:47] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: you're probably good to go now
[03:47] <mukaibot> if you could apt-get install it, it should be running for you
[03:48] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: to test this, type: telnet localhost 22 - if you get a blank screen, it's working
[03:48] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: yeah.. as i said im new to linux how do i connect my ssh server from my other computer
[03:48] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: you'll need to configure your router / firewall if you want to access your computer externally
[03:48] <whoever> Yourname`: ya its just weird that what should woulk doesn't. is there a confg io in /etc or  one of the apache configs
[03:48] <mukaibot> is your other computer on the same network?
[03:48] <mukaibot> and what OS does it run?
[03:48] <pooky> if I log into my machine remotely
[03:49] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: it downloaded putty client to it
[03:49] <pooky> how can I enable a vpn connection configured in network manager?
[03:49] <macer1> Bug #550559
[03:49] <macer1> affects me *click*
[03:49] <whoever> Yourname`: checkout, this atleast talkS about the config http://maestric.com/doc/ubuntu/awstats
[03:50] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: ok, so you enter your Ubuntu IP address into Putty (unless you have DNS)
[03:50] <Yourname`> whoever: Ohh??? one sec!!
[03:50] <Yourname`> niceee
[03:50] <macer1> looks like a software problem...
[03:50] <whoever> Yourname`: what is it man ..
[03:50] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: it doesnt seems to work
[03:51] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: theres a firewall on ubuntu ?
[03:51] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: can you ping your Ubuntu computer?
[03:51] <osmosis> needhelp23323, all you have to do to setup an shh server is   sudo aptitude install openssh-server
[03:51] <mukaibot> osmosis: We've just done that :)
[03:51] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: i tried to ping it says request timed out
[03:51] <defrancisco2> hello
[03:52] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: ok, so this is the issue you'll need to resolve first
[03:52] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: are you pinging via IP address?
[03:52] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: yup
[03:52] <mukaibot> hmm, I didn't think there was a firewall on by default :|
[03:53] <xangua> mukaibot: it is not On by defaul
[03:53] <mukaibot> can you ping your Windows computer from Ubuntu?
[03:53] <macer1> any help with this?
[03:53] <DinoMuffin> ubuntu shouldn't brr blocking ICMP on a default install
[03:53] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: im connected to the internet from the ubuntu from the android wireless hotspot
[03:53] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: did you switch the firewall on?
[03:53] <DinoMuffin> be*
[03:53] <DinoMuffin> it's probably a network issue
[03:53] <mukaibot> xangua: Yeah, that's for confirming that
[03:53] <Yourname`> whoever: I think I'm gonna go with jawstats :)
[03:53] <mukaibot> xangua: * thank you for confirming that :)
[03:53] <whoever> Yourname`: less fuss no muss?
[03:53] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: can u message me with my nick at the first because im getting confused :P
[03:54] <Yourname`> whoever: Haha, it's awstats + web 2.0 = who can say no? :)
[03:54] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: idk how to switch the firewall on because im new to ubuntu
[03:55] <ubu_noob> Help I run "uname -m" in the terminal and i get i686 is this a 32bit or 64bit ubuntu os?
[03:55] <bakis> what's the binary for system settings?
[03:55] <pangolin> ubu_noob: 32bit
[03:55] <whoever> Yourname`: well thats a good reason  haha, awstats hasn't gotten there yet. and Ie never will
[03:55] <DinoMuffin> needhelp23323: what is your network topology? Specifically, where is your server connected in relation to your computer?
[03:55] <ubu_noob> pangolin: are 32bit ubuntu systems more stable than 64bit systems?
[03:56] <macer1> ubu_noob: no
[03:57] <DinoMuffin> wow, I'm getting some major lag on this server all the sudden
[03:57] <macer1> ubu_noob: if your hardware can run 64-bit os, it is always better to use 64-bit :P
[03:57] <auk> ubu_noob: Note, that does not tell you the TRUE architecture of your HARDWARE. Only the SOFTWARE (The kind of architecture of the Ubuntu/Linux system you are currently using).
[03:57] <bakis> by that i mean i'm trying to open system settings with dmenu... where can i find it?
[03:58] <macer1> another problem here
[03:58] <macer1> a lot of spam in logs
[03:58] <macer1> WTF is this?: ntop[3464]:   **WARNING** packet truncated (20338->8232)
[03:58] <macer1> a 100's of messages like that in /var/log/syslog
[03:58] <ubu_noob> Dang, Cause i have a 64bit windows 7 on my laptop and when i needed to install (dual boot) ubuntu i heard that the 32bit was more stable so thats the one i installed but i was hoping i messed up and installed the 64bit ubuntu which i kinda want know. but i dont want to have to reinstall everything
[04:00] <auk> macer1: That means that packet is not 100%.          You only got SOME OF IT.          TRUNCATED means you've reached some KIND of LIMIT,    and then it slices off anymore that would've exceeded such limit.
[04:00] <macer1> hmm
[04:00] <macer1> but why
[04:01] <auk> Example:        I can only make an 8 character password.     I used:     dreamcaster for a password.       BUT dreamcas      <------ Becomers the password.               TER     is TRUNCATED.
[04:01] <auk> So that's why it's a WARNING.
[04:01] <macer1> hmm
[04:02] <macer1> o.O
[04:02] <macer1> but why in server logs ;p
[04:03]  * macer1 going sleep
[04:03] <macer1> 05:03 am here...
[04:03] <macer1> :P
[04:05] <bakis> does anyone use i3 that can tell me how to access ubuntu's system settings?
[04:06] <jiffe1> does the lpi-199 exam even exist anymore ?
[04:06]  * macer1 is now AFK
[04:08] <goddard> do i need ipp?
[04:09] <Yourname`> whoever: Offbeat question, you know how it says root@w422-server:~# as my shell prompt. How can I change that hostname everywhere?
[04:10] <whoever> Yourname`: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html
[04:12] <zykotick9> !hostname | Yourname`
[04:12] <whoever> Yourname`: so it is done in .bashrc so i gave you a link to hopefully explaine it
[04:13] <Yourname`> Thanks zykotick9 and whoever
[04:15] <whoever> Yourname`: now if you just want to change your hostname  look at /etc/hostname
[04:16] <zykotick9> whoever: as ubottu mentions, it's REALLY important if you edit /etc/hostname to edit /etc/hosts at the same time!  sudo breaks if they don't match.
[04:18] <Yourname`> zykotick9: I first edited /etc/hosts and then modified /etc/hostname
[04:19] <zykotick9> Yourname`: i see the factoid gives an order, i've never had an issue with the order... so long as you got both ;)
[04:19] <motherbrain> I am looking into biometric stuff and am curious what is the proof that no 2 finger prints are the same or how did they know that finger prints are unique / 1 out of 64 billion people unique

[04:25] <motherbrain> well , I didn't know how they came up with the 64 billion number... maybe they are basing it on the fact The genetic code in DNA gives general orders on the way skin should form in a developing fetus,

[05:01] <kaen> so, dia (and handful of other programs) are displaying serious rendering glitches. specifically, dia doesn't show the diagram display area at all.
[05:02] <kaen> I figured it was a library error, so I set LD_DEBUG=libs and this is the output: http://pastebin.com/Nc0AkN67
[05:02] <kaen> of LD_DEBUG=libs dia 2>&1 | grep error
[05:03] <kaen> any idea what libs I should rebuild/reinstall or what other actions might solve these errors?
[05:03] <kaen> oh, and 11.10 x86_64
[05:06] <hex20dec> Hey everyone, I need some help. I by accident executed chmod -R 777 on my phpmyadmin folder and now I can't access it. How do I restore it to it's normal permissions?
[05:06] <Mixxit> after i install ubuntu text only what can i drop the ram to?
[05:06] <Mixxit> 64?
[05:07] <holstein> hex20dec: i would probably try to chown as root... sudo -s then work on it
[05:07] <holstein> Mixxit: i would leave as much as possible... depends on what you are doing if 64 or 128 will work for you
[05:08] <jwh1981> Mixxit: The lowest Ive been able to *run* Ubuntu/Debian at is 40MB
[05:08] <Mixxit> ok
[05:08] <Mixxit> i just want it for a very simple cronjob
[05:08] <webnet> hex20dec, ??? 777 should give ANYONE permission to do anything to it...
[05:09] <jwh1981> Mixxit: Id imagine 64 is perfectly fine, just make sure you give it 256MB+ of swap to be safe
[05:09] <Mixxit> okies
[05:09] <Mixxit> thanks!
[05:09] <hex20dec> Tell me about it.
[05:09] <hex20dec> And that is why I need to restore it.
[05:09] <hex20dec> So, how would I go about restoring it?
[05:10] <jwh1981> Mixxit: Welcome.
[05:10] <J7> I need help with my microphone. it works, but it's extremely quiet and I have the levels turned all the way up
[05:10] <hex20dec> "Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!"
[05:10] <hex20dec> This is the message my phpmyadmin is outputting.
[05:11] <webnet> ok so do sudo chmod 755
[05:11] <webnet> hex20dec,
[05:11] <webnet> that was for you
[05:12] <hex20dec> Yeah, thanks. But I'm just curious, is there a way to restore permissions to it's ealier point?
[05:12] <hex20dec> Because all of the files just changed to 777
[05:12] <Vexiant> J7, sudo pulseaudio --kill
[05:12] <Vexiant> rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound*
[05:12] <Vexiant> sudo rm /etc/asound.conf
[05:12] <hex20dec> Because of the recursive
[05:12] <Vexiant> in terminal
[05:12] <Vexiant> signout and then sign back in
[05:12] <webnet> did you use -R hex20dec ?
[05:12] <Vexiant> type: alsamixer         into terminal
[05:12] <hex20dec> Yes.
[05:12] <webnet> ok
[05:12] <hex20dec> webnet
[05:13] <webnet> so then chmod -R 755
[05:13] <webnet> those are default permissions right?
[05:13] <webnet> iirc
[05:13] <hex20dec> I sure do hope so.
[05:14] <hex20dec> And thanks.
[05:14] <webnet> hex20dec, yep see if it works dont thank me yet :P
[05:14] <hex20dec> Lol.
[05:14] <hex20dec> Yeah.
[05:14] <hex20dec> I'll let you know in a sec.
[05:14] <webnet> cool
[05:15] <hex20dec> Yup, you were correct.
[05:15] <J7> Vexiant, I typed the wrong password for sudo and now it won't let me do anything, how do I redo it?
[05:15] <hex20dec> 755 is the default.
[05:16] <Vexiant> Close terminal and reopen it
[05:16] <J7> I tried that
[05:16] <Vexiant> Can you output the error?
[05:17] <Vexiant> pastebin it or something if you can, J7

[05:18] <Vexiant> Log out and come back
[05:18] <J7> ok brb
[05:18] <Vexiant> Ok
[05:20] <Vexiant> Now don't type the wrong password this time, J7 :P
[05:21] <J7> yea yea
[05:21] <J7> still saying the same thing
[05:22] <CactusWiZaRd> damn it
[05:22] <J7> I'm sure I typed it in correctly
[05:22] <CactusWiZaRd> Ubuntu has changed A LOT
[05:22] <Vexiant> If your password isn't working, that's not my problem. Anyhow, you can figure that out later
[05:22] <Vexiant> so
[05:22] <Vexiant> just type alsamixer
[05:22] <Vexiant> into terminal
[05:22] <FloodBot1> Vexiant: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:22] <Vexiant> It shouldn't require sudo
[05:22] <J7> done, Vexiant
[05:23] <Vexiant> Did it work?
[05:23] <J7> yes
[05:23] <Vexiant> Alright, good luck with the password issue. I have no idea about passwords
[05:23] <J7> ok thanks
[05:24] <hex20dec> Vexiant let's roll.

[05:26] <mukaibot> Does any one have thoughts on OpenLDAP vs other LDAP servers?
[05:26] <djQuery> trying to install on my wifes gigabyt ga-ma790x-ud4p and the network card doesnt seem to be detected
[05:27] <djQuery> I know it used to work when booted off the CD but not anymore.
[05:27] <djQuery> says that the cable is disconnected
[05:27] <mukaibot> djQuery: do you have any 'eth' devices in "ifconfig -a"
[05:27] <lwq1996> ok guys i got a little puzzle, when i try to play songs on youtube with ubuntu its worse than trying to play them on windows 95
[05:28] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: have u checked the sound card settings?
[05:28] <mukaibot> djQuery: do you have any 'eth' devices in "ifconfig -a"
[05:28] <djQuery> sorry
[05:28] <djQuery> mukaibot: sorry going between machines 2nd
[05:28] <lwq1996> not really, i read online that it might be plugins but i installed flash a while back
[05:29] <Syron> if the video actually loads then the plugin is detected, so that's probably not it as long as the plugin is fairly recent
[05:30] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: I had the same issue with... Don't recall the version now, was like v.6 or something like that, and back then it was because of the soundcard
[05:30] <lwq1996> it works its just really choppy and glitchy
[05:30] <djQuery> mukaibot: yes I have a carth listed there
[05:30] <lwq1996> im running v 10 i think
[05:30] <mukaibot> djQuery: try replacing the cable then
[05:30] <mukaibot> djQuery: the network card is detected
[05:31] <mukaibot> I gtg, good luck!
[05:31] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: i recommend checking the soundcard, and if there's nothing, just try to find the correct drivers
[05:32] <lwq1996> ive had it installed on this computer before a while back and didnt have any problem could it be that its a wubi install
[05:32] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: naah, don't think so
[05:32] <CactusWiZaRd> but it's possible
[05:32] <lwq1996> how do i get to the soundcard from desktop
[05:32] <holstein> if the sound issues are isolated to youtube, i might explore flash/graphics drivers
[05:33] <CactusWiZaRd> hm, I think I'll change from mobile to wlan, brb ->
[05:33] <lwq1996> its not really traditional flash its using its like gnash or something like that
[05:34] <om4rezz> om4rezz:
[05:34] <om4rezz> om4rezz:
[05:34] <MestreLion> !thanks
[05:34] <holstein> lwq1996: that would be another great place to start... isolate the audio device and drivers by playing audio successfully in some other way, then move on to flash i say
[05:35] <lwq1996> ok will try, i may be back with more questions since im still a newb
[05:36] <omar> hello guys
[05:37] <omar> hellloooo
[05:37] <Syron> I don't want to put down gnash.. especially since I'm not familiar with it, but you can try adding the official flash plugin to %HOME/.mozilla/plugins to see if that speeds things up, assuming you're running firefox
[05:38] <Syron> just as an experiment.. if you're currently not using it
[05:38] <mohsinhijazee> if a package is available (say redmine) its better to do via apt-get or do a custom install? Pros and cons?
[05:39] <Syron> it is better, if it's available. It is proprietary, so I wasn't sure.
[05:39] <webnet> mohsinhijazee,  apt-get has pros in the fact that it is GUARUNTEED to be stable
[05:40] <mohsinhijazee> webnet: and what about the schema/data that would be already there in case of upgrades? Works smooth?
[05:40] <webnet> but, if you are looking for bleedeng edge features do a custom from a deb or build it
[05:40] <mohsinhijazee> webnet: I guess that would be handled by Rails migrations.
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[05:40] <motherbrain> if I wanted to start creating another programming language (i.e a compiler or interpreter) where should I start what programs/tools should I use and books should I read?
[05:40] <webnet> lotuspsychje, its nighttime where i am! :D
[05:41] <bigtom21485> anyone had issues with google music?
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> webnet: good evening for u :p
[05:41] <webnet> motherbrain, i contemplated the same, but decided against it because of the work involved....
[05:41] <djQuery> installing on a gigabyte ga-ma790x-ud4p and it says that the network cable is diconnected. I have checked the connections and they are all good but no lights on the nic
[05:41] <webnet> lotuspsychje, :D thanx!
[05:41] <goddard> motherbrain: any reason why you wanna do that?
[05:42] <bigtom21485> djQuery: ubuntu might now have drivers for your nix right out of the box
[05:42] <bigtom21485> djquery: *might not
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> motherbrain: you need a visual basic lookalike for ubuntu my guess?
[05:42] <djQuery> bigtom21485: it worked last wek from the same live cd
[05:42] <bigtom21485> djquery: have you tried reseating the card in your box?
[05:43] <djQuery> bigtom21485: it is builtin
[05:43] <motherbrain> ya, well I have read thru the dragon book on compiler design... was curious how one would go about creating a new langauage what tools / programs did people use to create the compilers for c/c++ or other major languages?
[05:43] <ejv> don't you think that's outside the scope of Ubuntu support, just a tad bit motherbrain? :)
[05:43] <bigtom21485> djquery: does your ubuntu know that the nic is there?
[05:44] <djQuery>  according to this is should work right away https://friendly.ubuntu.com/11.10/Gigabyte%20Technology%20Co.,%20Ltd./GA-MA790X-UD4P/A:BRvp:GsM:BEG:CUb:B9J/
[05:44] <djQuery> ejv: ifcongig - a lists it
[05:44] <ejv> pardon me?
[05:44] <Mixxit> hmm just finished installing text only but its just black when it boots
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> ejv: maybe he's looking for ubuntu packages
[05:45] <bigtom21485> djquery: i don't know. sorry :-(
[05:45] <bigtom21485> djquery: have you tried google music yet?
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> ejv: arent there packages to invent/programming?
[05:45] <ubu_noob> HELP! does anyone know if the computer bios are different or language specific? for example a computer with windows starter (spanish), or a windows 7 are the bios going to be the same?
[05:46] <soapee01_> djQuery if it's a the same livecd that worked last week, it's probably a h/w issue (since there's no way the s/w changed).
[05:46] <ejv> build-essential meta package comes to mind, perhaps start with that
[05:46] <goddard> how can i setup my printer deamon to services to only start when the printer is plugged in?
[05:46] <soapee01_> well, excluding bit rot and scratches. verify the cd
[05:47] <djQuery> yes it is, just booted out of XP where same card was working fine
[05:48] <djQuery> soapee01_: ^^^^
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> !info build-essential | Motherbrain
[05:49] <goddard> motherbrain: most the time that kind of stuff is taught in college but i am sure you could get all the info you need from straight web tutorials
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[05:50] <soapee01_> djQuery: <soapee01_> well, excluding bit rot and scratches. verify the cd
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> ejv: tnx for the name mate
[05:50] <djQuery> is there a method to determine what driver it is using?
[05:50] <CactusWiZaRd> hmm...
[05:50] <djQuery> installed now nolonger using the cd
[05:51] <osmosis> how do I fix  ureadahead-other  error on boot?
[05:51] <soapee01_> djQuery trying to think of an easier way than lsmod
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> djQuery; lspci and look for network
[05:52] <goddard> cds are old school
[05:52] <CactusWiZaRd> how can i disable touchpad, when i'm using usb-mouse?
[05:52] <soapee01_> djQuery that would be the easiest way, find the module (via google), and run `lsmod |grep -i moduleGoogleReturned`
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> lol
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> goddard: too bad many old boxes can't boot from usb yet :p
[05:53] <goddard> lotuspsychje: what :D hah
[05:53] <soapee01_> djQuery and see if it's there. if not modprobe it, and then you may be in for some /etc/udev/rules.d stuff (or /etc/modprobe)
[05:54] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, on my netbook it is just fn-f7 key propmt, have you looked in the manual for information that make this a simple task, or on the web?
[05:54] <mcurran> Anybody else have mplayer freeze up if playing audio from say uTube and then swiching back to a file .mp3 in nautilus?
[05:54] <lotuspsychje> CactusWizard: maybe you can modify stuff in BIOS usb mouse to BIOS instead of Os
[05:56] <bigtom21485> soapee01_: why would google music not see my 3600 mp3's? it only sees 263 and only syncs 5.
[05:56] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, this fn-f7 on my acer d250 works in windows and linux pretty cool really. :D
[05:57] <soapee01_> bigtom21485 why would you ask me directly? I don't use google music?
[05:57] <CactusWiZaRd> urlin2u: well, maybe it works with my acer t4830 too, then
[05:57] <bigtom21485> its really aggrivating no one seems to know.
[05:58] <damo22> anyone know how to force mdadm to add a previously failed disk to an array to recover the data?
[05:58] <damo22> http://pastebin.com/Q98Zrmui
[05:58] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, that would be awesome eh, giver a try sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
[05:58] <CactusWiZaRd> urlin2u: thanks, it worked :D forgot that command
[05:58]  * soapee01_ sighes #ubuntu needs a bot with ~take-a-number like #freeswitch....
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> can a user recommend packages to ubuntu's official repos?
[05:58] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, cool I like simple answers for my simple mind. :D
[05:59] <yitz_> Alright. I'm using grub 1.98-1ubuntu13. I installed Ubuntu onto a system, grabbed a disk image and deployed the image to a handful of boxes. On some, everything (well, GRUB-wise) worked fine. On other boxes, though, boot fails at GRUB. I'll ...
[05:59] <yitz_> ... either get no output of a half-screen of GRUB repeated over and over. Ubuntu LiveCD->Rescue->Reinstall GRUB on the disk fixes it... but /boot and the MBR don't change between the original image and the GRUB-reinstall version. What's changing? ...
[05:59] <yitz_> ... How do I get GRUB to drop in?
[05:59] <FloodBot1> yitz_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:00] <damo22> if i have a raid5 array made up of 5 disks, and only 3 are active, can i still recover the data?
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> !info extundelete | damo22
[06:00] <CactusWiZaRd> urlin2u: me too, it's been 3 years since I used Ubuntu last time, so... a bit lost
[06:00] <urlin2u> !grub > yitz_
[06:01] <lotuspsychje> !extundelete | damo22
[06:01] <rickrudedude> i have a laptop with the broadcom 4313 wireless chipset.  i want to boot into and install ubuntu, but once i do i will be without an internet connection.  can anybody tell me where to get the needed package so that i can put it on a cd key to install?
[06:01] <lotuspsychje> oops
[06:01] <zykotick9> !broadcom | rickrudedude
[06:02] <damo22> where can i get support on raid arrays?
[06:02] <urlin2u> yitz_, you may need to chroot in to the OS and run reload commands check that grub wiki about this.
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> rickrudedude: you could try to add cd to software centre and find the driver from there
[06:02] <buhman> http://sprunge.us/YfWY ; how do I tell apt-get that I want to not-remove lzma but do a dist-upgrade anyway?
[06:03] <yitz_> urlin2u: The curious thing is a LiveCD resuce boot with the installer fixxes things but I can't figure out what it changes
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> !raid | damo22
[06:03] <urlin2u> yitz_, chroot from a live ubuntu cd.
[06:04] <yitz_> urlin2u: Yes. I did that. It makes the machine bootable. But it doesn't help me out much; I'd like to make things work without having to boot a live cd after dumping in the image.
[06:04] <rickrudedude> hmm, is there a way to bake in the drivers into a bootable live usb drive?
[06:05] <rickrudedude> this a driver for the broadcom 4313
[06:05] <urlin2u> yitz_, a clone with clonezilla will work with the same partition probably, clonezilla saves the mbr, just sort of guessing through the limited info here.
[06:06] <wiggmpk> I have a pretty specific question, Is it possible to partition and install ubuntu on a software raid (striped raid) and install Windows 7 on 1 of the software partitions (I know this is about Windows, but it's hard to google something so specific and I need somewhere to start looking)
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> rickrudedude: maybe aptoncd could do it
[06:07] <yitz_> urlin2u: I've been pulling the MBR out and restoring it seperately from the parition tables. I compared the MBR of the image and the MBR after I rerun the grub installer from the live cd and the two are the same
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> !raid | wiggmpk
[06:08] <urlin2u> yitz_, hmm I have some exsperience here but mainly with just reload the mbr, with grub, lilo, or the ms bootloaders, and just clonezilla on single hd's so you probably know more then I do
[06:08] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: perhaps you didnt read the entire question, I already know how to setup a software raid with Linux, I need to know if you it's even possible for a Windows 7 installation to be installed on a linux software raid
[06:09] <urlin2u> yitz_, probably lol I'm sure of it. :D
[06:09] <deel> Hi please see my issue I shared here http://askubuntu.com/questions/101018/how-to-set-keyboard-for-phonetic-hindi-typing-oneiric-for-wx-keyboard-on-qwerty
[06:09] <yitz_> urlin2u: Heh. Could be. Thanks for trying, though :)
[06:09] <damo22> wiggmpk: do you know how to use mdadm, i need help with recovering a raid5
[06:09] <urlin2u> yitz_, no problem.
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> wiggmpk: it all depends how one partition my guess?
[06:10] <wiggmpk> damo22: my experience is limited to personal only. I am no expert at it, and have never had to recover information for a linux drive (only Windows)
[06:11] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: is it possible to have the Windows 7 installation recognize an mdadm partition? I mean I already know it cant out of the box, there has to be something loaded to recognize it, I just dont know how to google that lol
[06:12] <noyb> hello.  using ubuntu 11.10... still trying to mount cdrom... slowly figuring it out... now when i try to mount using gmount i get "pixmap error."  time to go back to pencil and paper  :-)  any ideas?
[06:12] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: I know you can install a striped mdadm fakeraid and partition a space for a Win7 install on a single disk in the array, but I want to stripe the Win7 install as well
[06:13] <wiggmpk> noyb: your cdrom doesnt mount automatically when you insert the disc?
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> wiggmpk: not sure about that one sorry mate, would virtualization help you with win7?
[06:14] <noyb> wiggmpk... it spins... but nada... then i use gmount & still nada...
[06:14] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: no, I have a specific need for a native win7 install (already have a VM and more of a proof of concept and education)
[06:14] <wiggmpk> noyb: do you have a cdrom that you absolutely know works? not damage?
[06:15] <noyb> several, wiggmpk
[06:15] <noyb> none work
[06:15] <b0s> hey guys, my computer just froze for a second, and now a process called md0_raid6 is taking up 27% cpu usage
[06:15] <b0s> is my computer exploding?
[06:15] <b0s> i feel like my raid array just broke down
[06:15] <coolstar-pc> b0s: Try rebooting?
[06:16] <wiggmpk> noyb: in terminal, what does this say "ls /dev/cd*
[06:16] <noyb> wiggmpk... will give it a try... brb
[06:16] <tyro> hello. i'm new to ubuntu. whats the best way to get started? whats a good theme to choose?
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> lol its raid rampage here
[06:17] <b0s> coolstar-pc: mdadm --detail is telling me a rebuild is 74% complete. i don't know why it's rebuilding :(
[06:17] <b0s> it says its resyncing
[06:17] <wiggmpk> b0s: probably because something or some sector if your array was damaged
[06:17] <b0s> wiggmpk: that's frightening.
[06:17] <b0s> do you know how i can figure out what went wrong?
[06:17] <wiggmpk> b0s: it would be more frightening if it wasnt rebuilding
[06:18] <b0s> heh
[06:18] <b0s> i suppose
[06:18] <wiggmpk> b0s: check the logs mate
[06:18] <noyb> wiggmpk... it says... "ls: cannot access /dev/cd: No such file or directory"
[06:18] <b0s> wiggmpk: which logs? syslog? is there a separate log for raid devices?
[06:18] <wiggmpk> noyb: note the * after it, "ls /dev/cd* "
[06:19] <noyb> wiggmpk... sorry... old eyes... brb
[06:19] <wiggmpk> b0s: what style of raid are you using?
[06:19] <b0s> raid 6, linux software raid
[06:19] <b0s> five 500mb partitions on five separate drives
[06:19] <b0s> 1.5tb available space
[06:20] <b0s> wiggmpk: http://pastebin.com/qUTEzZgn
[06:20] <wiggmpk> b0s: 500mb x 5 is 2.5gb mate not 1.5tb
[06:21] <b0s> wiggmpk: 1.5tb useable space, it's raid 6
[06:21] <noyb> wiggmpk... it says " /dev/cdrom  /dev/cdrw"
[06:21] <freshnick> wheres mukaibot
[06:22] <wiggmpk> noyb: hmm, I think this should try and mount it "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt"
[06:23] <noyb> wiggmpk... will try... brb
[06:23] <wiggmpk> b0s: as for you, I never really looked in the logs for raid failures, so I really dont know lol, but I am sure if somethings going on, it would be in there somewhere
[06:24] <b0s> yeah
[06:24] <wiggmpk> b0s truly sorry I couldnt be more help =/
[06:24] <b0s> that's fine thanks :)
[06:24] <b0s> the only thing i found in syslog is three lines saying "rebuild event detected on md device /dev/md/0"
[06:25] <noyb> wiggmpk... it says... mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[06:25] <noyb> mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /mnt busy
[06:25] <noyb> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sr0 is already mounted on /mnt
[06:25] <b0s> i'm googling and it may be completely normal, there's a cron job which does a raid array check every month or something
[06:25] <b0s> maybe i just never noticed it before
[06:25] <wiggmpk> noyb: well then do "cd /mnt" and then "ls" to see whats there
[06:26] <Mixxit> im in rescue mode can anyone help fix my grub
[06:26] <Mixxit> i have lots of problems
[06:26] <wiggmpk> Mixxit: depends if its hard lol
[06:27] <Mixxit> seems to be!
[06:27] <saji89> I have been trying to set up a name based virtual host in pache on ubuntu 11.10, to a folder /var/www/test. But it keeps on pointing to /var/www only. How can I solve it?
[06:27] <b0s> welp, computer hasn't caught fire yet, gonna assume all is well
[06:27] <urlin2u> Mixxit, rescue mode what exactly do you mean can you get to the desktop, or is that a metaphore?
[06:27] <b0s> thanks folks
[06:27] <Mixxit> the rescue mode on the alternate cd
[06:28] <Mixxit> i have a shell in front of me
[06:28] <Mixxit> the disk is /dev/sda
[06:28] <Mixxit> but shell  is the cd rescue shell
[06:28] <urlin2u> Mixxit, never used it you can fx gru pretty easily from the terminal on the dektop, have you run the bootscript perchance?
[06:28] <urlin2u> grub*
[06:28] <CactusWiZaRd> anyone know how to connect to gtalk with bitlbee?
[06:28] <wiggmpk> saji89: I am sure it would be a config setting for apache, change the root directory (probably in the conf file)
[06:28] <Mixxit> i tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:28] <murlidhar> hello all . how can i temporarily disable automounting of external media devices ?
[06:28] <wiggmpk> !enter Mixxit
[06:29] <wiggmpk> pff Mixxit try and keep it to 1 line to avoid spammage
[06:29] <saji89> wiggmpk: DId all that to no use.
[06:29] <wiggmpk> saji89: have your restarted apache?
[06:29] <saji89> wiggmpk: ya.
[06:29] <urlin2u> Mixxit, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[06:30] <Mixxit> i don't have mdadm in this rescue shell
[06:31] <urlin2u> Mixxit, if you can chroot from that command line you should be set if the mbr your aiming at is on the correct drive if you have more then one and the bios is reading it first.
[06:31] <noyb> wiggmpk... as follows... cd /mnt  does nothing... ls says "reading directory .: input/output error"
[06:31] <wiggmpk> saji89: have you tried restarting your computer?
[06:32] <Mixxit> says mount -B is an invalid option
[06:32] <wiggmpk> noyb: then there is probably a driver issue with your cdrom drive (at least it indicates that) or a program with the actual drive (physically)
[06:32] <ejv> b0s: pastebin your dmesg
[06:32] <saji89> wiggmpk: yes.. that too.
[06:32] <ejv> b0s: that will highlight your raid errors
[06:32] <urlin2u> Mixxit, I change OS often I just use supergrub, if IO forget to set the mbr correctly and reload from the desktop.  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[06:33] <saji89> wiggmpk: My virtualhost configuration file looks like this.
[06:33] <Mixxit> this is just a plain install
[06:33] <saji89> wiggmpk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827328/
[06:33] <Mixxit> it left me with a black screen on bootup
[06:33] <Mixxit> so i can't get in to it to do anything
[06:33] <Mixxit> worst of all the rescue mode freezes when retrieving packages
[06:33] <urlin2u> Mixxit, hah have you tried nomodeset it may be a graphics driver needed.
[06:33] <Mixxit> so i have to drop to emergency shell to do anything
[06:34] <wiggmpk> saji89: do you have the default config file too?
[06:34] <Mixxit> its text only install
[06:34] <urlin2u> !nomodeset > Mixxit
[06:34] <b0s> ejv: http://pastebin.com/06j50TJk
[06:34] <saji89> wiggmpk: Ya its there.
[06:34] <noyb> ok... thx... uhh... one of your questions way back was do I have a cd that I know works... well... when I installed 11.10 it started automatically & worked just fine... i can reinstall it... no problem... only with cds or dvds that don't start automatically is there a problem...
[06:34] <Mixxit> it doesn't even let me type anything
[06:34] <urlin2u> Mixxit, but X is used a desktop or headless, just trying to understand you.
[06:34] <Mixxit> there is nothing when the system boots, no grub no option to type anything
[06:34] <Mixxit> it's just black
[06:34] <murlidhar> hello all . how can i temporarily disable automounting of external media devices ?
[06:35] <frybye> Hi - what command do I need to run a programme that continues to run after closing the terminal window?
[06:35] <Mixxit> install went fine
[06:35] <b0s> ejv: huge number of ata1 errors, is one of my drives failing? i haven't gotten any SMART errors, and mdadm seems to think it's fine
[06:35] <urlin2u> Mixxit, you need to tap shift to get the grub menu with single installs
[06:35] <zykotick9> frybye: screen is one option, aka gnuscreen
[06:35] <wiggmpk> noyb: did you install from scratch (alternate cd) or through a livecd?
[06:35] <b0s> i don't mind if a drive fails, i actually have a spare 500gb drive sitting here on my desk i can just swap it in
[06:36] <Mixxit> tap shift at power on?
[06:36] <urlin2u> Mixxit, you have a desktop you use right?
[06:36] <urlin2u> Mixxit, yes
[06:36] <zykotick9> Mixxit: hold shift is probably easier
[06:36] <Mixxit> just shows a black screen
[06:36] <CactusWiZaRd> god damn it
[06:36] <noyb> wiggmpk... i downloaded 11.10 from ubuntu... burned it to disk... and gleefully slaughtered windows vista... install was flawless.
[06:36] <frybye> I am running unity with 11.10 and want to be able to start indicator-weather so it continues when closing terminal - what would be the command in that case..?
[06:37] <urlin2u> zykotick9, I always tap like a nervous user, fast. :D
[06:37] <Mixxit> with shift i mean, it shows a black screen still
[06:37] <frybye> sorry that was for zykotick9
[06:37] <theadmin> frybye: indicator-weather &disown
[06:37] <wiggmpk> saji89: what is in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/" ?
[06:37] <dark|angel> hey there
[06:37] <frybye> oh good thanks theadmin
[06:37] <dark|angel> is there any way to configure Ubuntu to auto generate SSH keys on boot?
[06:37] <urlin2u> Mixxit, you change any grub perimeters?
[06:37] <dark|angel> if it doesn't find any in /etc/ssh ?
[06:37] <Mixxit> no stock nextnextnext
[06:37] <wiggmpk> noyb: lol right, but was it through a LiveCD (where you had a fully functioning Ubuntu loaded) or through the older text menu driven installer?
[06:38] <saji89> wiggmpk: artis.local  default  default-ssl  test.local
[06:38] <frybye> theadmin: nice one - just the job... thanks
[06:38] <noyb> live cd
[06:38] <theadmin> frybye: Heh. Works with everything basically so
[06:38] <zykotick9> dark|angel: ssh keys should typically change (how can you verify it's the correct box, if it changes every boot?)
[06:38] <frybye> theadmin: great - things are so simle -when you know how- heheh
[06:38] <noyb> sorry wiggmpk... live cd
[06:39] <frybye> e e e simple
[06:39] <wiggmpk> noyb: hmm, then I might seek a second opinion for troubleshooting, because the drive shouldnt have an issue wiht drivers if you used the livecd
[06:39] <dark|angel> zykotick9 I'm trying to make a couple of Xen templates. I said in case it doesn't find any SSH keys in /etc/ssh - for xen templates there shouldn't be any
[06:39] <wiggmpk> saji89: and do you have something in /var/www/test/ like a landing page, index.hmt?
[06:39] <zykotick9> dark|angel: sorry.  i get ya.  hadn't contemplated the reason.  good luck.
[06:40] <noyb> wiggmpk... maybe i'm overthinking this... when a cd or dvd mounts... shouldn't a window pop up with the program in it?
[06:40] <noyb> wiggmpk... in other words, shouldn't something obvious happen?
[06:40] <wiggmpk> noyb: it should, or  a box to ask you what you want to do. but if it gives you an input/output error that's not good
[06:41] <wiggmpk> noyb: is there a disc or cd image on your desktop?
[06:41] <dark|angel> zykotick9 RedHat based distros have a sshd script that autogenerate keys if they don't find any. It wouldn't be an issue, but if the keys are missing, the user can't login over SSH
[06:41] <noyb> wiggmpk... damn... time to go back to my good old trash 80  :)
[06:41] <Ben64> noyb: pastebin "ls -l /dev/s*"
[06:41] <zykotick9> dark|angel: i've seen ubuntu generate those keys either during install, or on first run.  I don't know the answer though.
[06:42] <kblin> hi folks
[06:42] <dark|angel> zykotick9 Xen and other Virtual Machines are different do
[06:42] <kblin> I've just upgraded a 10.10 install to 11.10, and now X11 won't start up
[06:42] <noyb> wiggmpk... do you mean does disk or cd image appear on desktop?
[06:43] <kblin> it seems like it's still trying to load the "nvidia" module, while I seem to have nouveau
[06:43] <noyb> Ben64... will try... brb
[06:43] <wiggmpk> saji89: did you enable the site? "sudo a2ensite <your site name>" then restart apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
[06:43] <kblin> but this still happens after I blew away /etx/X11/xorg.conf
[06:43] <theadmin> kblin: blacklist nvidia
[06:43] <kblin> theadmin:
[06:43] <wiggmpk> noyb: yeah, like something that would indicate a disc in the drive on your desktop (icon)
[06:43] <kblin> theadmin: I don't have a module
[06:44] <saji89> wiggmpk: Yes.
[06:44] <theadmin> kblin: I know, just blacklist it so it stops trying
[06:44] <Mixxit> fixed
[06:44] <kblin> theadmin: in modules.conf.d?
[06:44] <Mixxit> somehow managed to get past the retrieving net-usb failure
[06:44] <Mixxit> maybe a network issue i guess
[06:45] <theadmin> dafuq is that, kblin? No, /etc/modprobe.d/anything_you_want_to_call_it.conf, add a line saying "blacklist nvidia"
[06:45] <wiggmpk> saji89: im afraid I'm all out of suggestions
[06:45] <noyb> Ben64... yikes!  lots of "authentic frontier gibberish"  (Blazing Saddles)  :-)
[06:46] <saji89> wiggmpk: Oops.
[06:46] <smokeycastle> wait so all those words before the .conf suffix dont actually matter other than as human readability?
[06:46] <theadmin> smokeycastle: With modprobe? Nope
[06:46] <smokeycastle> :O
[06:47] <smokeycastle> is that the same with init scripts?
[06:47] <smokeycastle> hmm wait stupid question lol
[06:47] <noyb> Ben64... it coughed up lots of permissions stuff... do you want me to paste it or ?
[06:48] <theadmin> smokeycastle: Well it is and it isn't, lol, I mean, you can call an initscript anything but you have to use the same name when running it then
[06:48] <wiggmpk> noyb: probably repeat the command with "sudo" in front
[06:48] <noyb> ok...
[06:48] <Ben64> it shouldn't say anything about permissions
[06:49] <kralle> sorry is there no  more choice for netbook remix in wuby ?
[06:49] <theadmin> kralle: Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix are now the same thing cause we're using the netbook interface (Unity) by default
[06:49] <wiggmpk> noyb: oh wait, it should show you permissions (sorry brain fart)
[06:50] <kralle> oh ok thanks theadmin
[06:50] <kralle> :)
[06:50] <wiggmpk> Ben64: i think he's talking about 'rw- - -+1 <user/group> stuff
[06:50] <kblin> theadmin: doesn't change a thing, though
[06:50] <noyb> wiggmpk... thx... repeated it with sudo... it just disappeared... and yes... it was all permissions info
[06:50] <theadmin> kblin: Well after adding that you're supposed to reboot iirc.
[06:50] <Ben64> noyb: what did the errors say
[06:50] <kblin> same "failed to load module 'nvidia'" from startx
[06:50] <kblin> theadmin: I got that much
[06:50] <theadmin> kblin: Ah, startx
[06:51] <noyb> Ben64... you mean the permissions?
[06:51] <Ben64> noyb: yes
[06:51] <theadmin> kblin: Ok just a sec, I'll write up an xorg.conf that's supposed to work :/
[06:51] <saji89> wiggmpk: Anyways thanks for your time.
[06:51] <wiggmpk> saji89: np
[06:51] <kblin> well, X11 isn't coming up. startx seems like a sane way to figure out why the heck that's happening
[06:51] <noyb> Ben64... i'll paste it...
[06:51] <kblin> and X11 looking for an nvidia driver that doesn't exist seems like a good reason
[06:52] <kblin> the question is where the heck that's coming from
[06:52] <wiggmpk> kblin: did you install the nvidia drivers at any time?
[06:52] <theadmin> kblin: There you go: https://pzt.me/9jrt
[06:52] <kblin> wiggmpk: sure, back on the old 10.10 install I had them
[06:53] <wiggmpk> kblin: did you upgrade and it broke?
[06:53] <noyb> Ben64... hold on to your hat... lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root        3 2012-02-03 00:23 /dev/scd0 -> sr0

[06:54] <pconwell> what is the cdrom typically listed as under /dev ?

[06:55] <pconwell> theadmin: thanks
[06:55] <theadmin> tnm: You need to create a group and add those two users to it, OR use setfacl (if you have an ACL-enabled filesystem)
[06:55] <kblin> wiggmpk: yes
[06:55]  * taterhead slaps FloodBot1 around a bit with a large trout

[06:59] <noyb> Who was it that used to say, "my brain hurts?"  Well, I know how he feels.
[07:00] <kblin> theadmin: I see no wondow decorations, no idea
[07:00] <kblin> theadmin: I didn't check $TERM
[07:00] <wiggmpk> kblin: if you have a working GUI you can just install the drivers through the GUI again
[07:00] <theadmin> kblin: You're not supposed to see any if you use plain startx though, just start your display manager (kdm, lxdm, gdm, lightdm etc) and go from there
[07:01] <noyb> wiggmpk & Ben64, thx for the help... it is appreciated.
[07:01] <kblin> theadmin: well, it seems like I have no window manager anymore, that seems to have disappeared during the update
[07:01] <kblin> theadmin: upgrade, rather
[07:01] <wiggmpk> noyb: np bud, wish I could have helped more (been saying that a lot tonight)
[07:01] <kblin> but yes, X11 is fixed
[07:01] <theadmin> kblin: ew boy... I suggest you reinstall :/ Upgrades break Ubuntus
[07:02] <wiggmpk> kblin: +1 to what theadmin said
[07:02]  * kblin sighs
[07:02] <noyb> wiggmpk... the fault, if any, is mine.
[07:02] <tnm> theadmin: i found a command sudo useradd -G www-data kubanc where www-data is group and kubanc is a user...
[07:02] <kblin> what's the point in using a debian-based distro when you can't dist-upgrade? :)
[07:02] <Flannel> tnm, theadmin: No.  You don't want to do that.
[07:02] <Flannel> kblin: Upgrades work fine for many users.
[07:02] <theadmin> Flannel: I have to point out (s)he uses useradd, not usermod. That's safe.
[07:03] <theadmin> ...I think
[07:03] <Flannel> tnm, theadmin: use `adduser username group` instead
[07:03] <theadmin> That works too
[07:03] <tnm> Flannel: well i already did and it didn't work :D
[07:03] <theadmin> I'm used to "usermod -aG" myself but that's just me
[07:03] <Flannel> tnm: The problem with the command you gave above is -G without -a will replace secondary groups and not append.
[07:03] <kblin> Flannel: I was responding to 08:01 < theadmin> kblin: ew boy... I suggest you reinstall :/ Upgrades break Ubuntus
[07:03] <Flannel> tnm: it does work (you need sudo)
[07:04] <tnm> i did sudo, but i still cannot copy files to a folder which has permission for group www-data
[07:04] <Flannel> kblin: That's his experience, there's a large group of people that upgrades work just fine on.  I haven't reinstalled my machine since 6.06, for example.  There's a variety of things that will affect your chances of success during an upgrade.
[07:04] <kblin> theadmin: anyway, once I install a desktop environment, it seems fine
[07:04] <Flannel> tnm: Does that folder give www-data group write permissions?
[07:05] <kblin> Flannel: well, what bit me is that for the first time in years, I need to put in an xorg.conf again to make X11 start up
[07:05] <kblin> and that kde broke during the upgrade to 11.10
[07:05] <theadmin> Flannel: Well I never had a successful Ubuntu upgrade myself though I do guess it's just me. Also, "his" doesn't apply to me, but whatever.
[07:05] <kblin> but both have since been fixed
[07:06] <saschxd> hello good morning @ll
[07:06] <noyb> bbl after trying some other stuff that probably won't work  ;-)  again, thx, wiggmpk & Ben64!
[07:06] <wiggmpk> noyb: np buddy =P
[07:06] <Ben64> noyb: i'm still waiting for that pastebin
[07:06] <dark|angel> how do I add a script to startup?
[07:06] <kblin> theadmin: in any case, thanks for poining me in the right direction
[07:06] <tnm> Flannel: you rock... and you were right. the command sudo chmod 7-R 77 "folderName" solved the problem :D
[07:07] <tnm> sorry chmod -R 777
[07:07] <noyb> Ben64... i thought i sent my reply which was "pastebin?"
[07:07] <Flannel> tnm: 777 is generally the wrong way to chmod things.
[07:07] <theadmin> tnm: ..you *never* want 777
[07:07] <Ben64> !pastebin | noyb
[07:07] <wiggmpk> !pastebin | noyb
[07:07] <theadmin> tnm: You usually want 644 or 664
[07:07] <Flannel> tnm: You just gave everyone execute permissions for all the files.
[07:07] <tnm> I agree...
[07:07] <Flannel> or g+w, which is what you really wanted.
[07:09] <tnm> Flannel: g+w doesn't give me permission for group
[07:09] <noyb> Ben64... we may have to hold off on the pastebin... i'm writing with one hand, typing with the other, & my feet are trying to keep my pedal powered pc going... :-)
[07:10] <Flannel> tnm: g+w will give group write permissions, if that doesn't give you write permissions, you're not the owner/group.
[07:10] <Ben64> noyb: O_o use a plug or something
[07:12] <Flannel> tnm: After adding yourself to the www-data group (I assume the file has been set to have a group of www-data?), did you log in/restart/whatever you want to call it your terminal?
[07:12] <tnm> Flannel: g+q command gives me drw-rw-r-- 16 www-data www-data permissions. I cannot copy files. The command: id kubanc gave me this: uid=1001(kubanc) gid=1001(kubanc) groups=1001(kubanc),33(www-data)
[07:12] <tnm> Flannel: no, i didn't restart
[07:13] <Flannel> tnm: not restart, just log out/back in (from the terminal, so if this is gnome-terminal, close/re-open is fine)
[07:13] <Flannel> tnm: rw-rw-r-- is correct.
[07:13] <Flannel> tnm: Is that a directory or a file?
[07:13] <Flannel> oh wait, I answered my own question.
[07:13] <quiescens> i'd guess directory
[07:13] <tnm> directory :D
[07:14] <quiescens> in which case execute is really probably needed
[07:14] <Flannel> tnm: Directories need +x as well, to cd into them.  I.... guess I don't know if you need +x to write to them.
[07:14] <noyb> Ben64... you mean electricity?  Heard of it... never had much use for it.  The hamster in my little wheel supplies all the power I need.  ;-)
[07:14] <Flannel> tnm: (this is why setting everything to a particular numeric value is problematic at best)
[07:14] <Ben64> noyb: do you want your cd drive to work?
[07:15] <saschxd> now that dmraid shows me asr_, asr_2 and asr_5 .... which one/two would be the right to mount ?
[07:15] <noyb> Ben64... yes, of course... but at this point it's winning the war.
[07:15] <tnm> Flannel: i still cannot copy files, should i restart the system?
[07:15] <Flannel> tnm: No.  Did you chmod that directory a+x?
[07:16] <Ben64> noyb: I asked you 34 minutes ago for a pastebin and you still haven't provided that. It really isn't that complicated to mount a cd drive, but if you never respond, it will never happen
[07:17] <noyb> Ben64... I'm not ignoring you... I'm really not... I'm just trying to write down everything suggested... follow protocol... not look like too big a jerk... and still wind up with a working cd drive...

[07:28] <Mixxit> does grub2 not boot if it failed to shutdown

[07:29] <Mixxit> my virtual machine is loading in the background so i can't see it but that looks to be the problem - i need to disable it somehow

[07:45] <noyb> Ben64... did my pastebin come through or did I screw up again?
[07:46] <Ben64> noyb: when you use pastebin, it brings you to a page where your paste is, you need to paste that page link into here for someone to see it
[07:48] <noyb> obviously "screwed it up again" is the correct answer.  How does one do that?  another stupid noob question.  sorry.
[07:51] <Blauskae1M> You mean so that we others can se your pastebin?
[07:51] <Blauskae1M> see*
[07:51] <Ben64> noyb: I just described it, "noyb: when you use pastebin, it brings you to a page where your paste is, you need to paste that page link into here for someone to see it"
[07:54] <noyb> Ben64... please tell me that I did something right...  http://paste.ubuntu.com/827363/

[07:58] <Ben64> Funhouse: find <directory> | wc -l
[07:58] <dies_irae> coolstar-ipod: uh?
[07:58] <dies_irae> the file is on ubuntu
[07:58] <coolstar-ipod> dies_irae: can Ubuntu read the file?
[07:59] <noyb> Ben64... http://paste.ubuntu.com/827379/
[07:59] <coolstar-ipod> dies_irae: try opening the file
[07:59] <coolstar-ipod> noyb: what issue are you having?
[07:59] <Ben64> noyb: .... its a command, you have to hit enter and pastebin the result

[08:04] <dRounse> can someone help me set up a computer?
[08:04] <coolstar-ipod> Ben64: he seems to have a /dev/sr0

[08:05] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: please be specific
[08:05] <xro> Hi, i have a soft that is locked because of a -->   recvfrom(5,     can i unlock it with a signal?
[08:06] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: i have a computer that came from a school and i cant install ubuntu or any distro other than puppy linux....
[08:06] <osmosis> anyone know how to troubleshoot courier-imap saying  Error in IMAP command received by server.
[08:07] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: why cant you? You should be able to erase the hdd and install any Debian based linux
[08:07] <mufflon> dRounse: what way of installing you choosed?
[08:08] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: im not sure.... im using unetbootin because i dont want a disk drive as it will be a mythtv backend and it hangs on a page for 15 minutes.... the usb boots but wont go to livecd
[08:08] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: what do you see on the screen as the USB "boots"?
[08:08] <dRounse> ive used unetbootin before to set up other computers but this wont work
[08:09] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: its got the normal unetbootin screen with the install, try it before installing, etc...
[08:09] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: try using the startup disk creator from Ubuntu on another pc
[08:10] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: I prefer it over unetbootin personally
[08:10] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: well i tried with the disk originally but i cant install any distro.... opensuse, fedora, or arch
[08:11] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: what problem do you get? Kernel Panic or something else?
[08:13] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: idk exactly what that is... it got stuck on a page with error type codes like this, [4.043879]
[08:13] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: then it said BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer deference at 00000001
[08:14] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: were the scroll and caps lock blinking
[08:14] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: no
[08:15] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: ok. It's not a kernel panic, but a different problem
[08:15] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: do you know what it is?
[08:16] <bullgard4> Description of the DEB program package »libtelepathy-logger2«: "This package contains a utility library to access Telepathy log files." What is a »utility library«?
[08:16] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: just wondering, did you try running memtest86?
[08:16] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: no, but i can do that
[08:17] <theadmin> bullgard4: Probably just some crazy name xD I suppose it's just a lib for accessing log files nothing more
[08:17] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: try that. We can see if it's a RAM or other issue then
[08:17] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: well the only os it has been able to boot is puppy linux
[08:18] <mufflon> dRounse: what kernel do you use?
[08:19] <dRounse> mufflon: i really dont know
[08:20] <bullgard4> theadmin: Your explanation makes sense to me. Thank you very much for explaining and your help.
[08:21] <senayar> what intel driver can i use for best performence into game ? since the last update the 3D is really fucked :(
[08:21] <theadmin> bullgard4: No problem, uh...
[08:21] <theadmin> !language | senayar
[08:21] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: its just an old gateway from a school, so could they have something preventing me from booting a diff os
[08:21] <senayar> sorry :o
[08:22] <theadmin> dRounse: How old? Is the processor i686-compatible? If not, Ubuntu won't boot and that's no big surprise
[08:22] <SimeonK> hi, how can i access chroot folders from the parent os?
[08:22] <dRounse> theadmin: its a pentium 4
[08:22] <dRounse> theadmin: im not sure maybe 8 years i think
[08:23] <theadmin> dRounse: Meh that won't work, sorry, we don't have i386 support... Try something else :(
[08:23] <dRounse> theadmin: aww that stinks, i wanted it as a mythtv backend :(
[08:24] <iceroot> dRounse: a pentium 4 should work
[08:24] <iceroot> dRounse: it must be i586 or higher (imo)
[08:24] <cybermorpher> Excuse me!? can somebody help me setting up a VPN on ubuntu 10.04?
[08:24] <dRounse> iceroot: how can i tell?
[08:24] <theadmin> iceroot: Isn't Pentium 4 i386?... Or am I messing something up?
[08:24] <iceroot> theadmin: no
[08:25] <iceroot> theadmin: even cyrix 233mmx was i586
[08:25] <theadmin> iceroot: Oh, eh, soz
[08:25] <iceroot> cyrix 233mhz with mmx
[08:25] <mufflon> theadmin: installing on P4 is possible
[08:25] <theadmin> mmk guess I'm just stupid
[08:25] <theadmin> Sorry
[08:25] <dRounse> theadmin: its ok
[08:25] <iceroot> also amd k6 foobar is i586
[08:26] <dRounse> iceroot: do you know why it wont boot a usb
[08:26] <theadmin> dRounse: Probably no BIOS support for that?
[08:26] <iceroot> dRounse: what means "wont boot usb" no option in bios?
[08:26] <theadmin> dRounse: Or the kernel is configured without USB boot support? (not the case with Ubuntu's default though)
[08:27] <coolstar-ipod> theadmin: he can boot a USB. It just won't boot _properly_
[08:27] <cybermorpher> Can somebody help me set a VPN on 10.04 please!?
[08:27] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: Ahh, okay, I see.
[08:27] <dRounse> iceroot: i can boot from usb but it wont boot to a desktop it hangs on a page with what looks like error codes
[08:27] <theadmin> !patience | cybermorpher
[08:27] <iceroot> dRounse: the errors are interesting for us
[08:27] <iceroot> !vpn | cybermorpher
[08:28] <coolstar-ipod> cybermorpher: try openvpn. I don't support 10.04 myself though.
[08:28] <cybermorpher> Um...
[08:28] <coolstar-ipod> cybermorpher: try the #openvpn channel
[08:28] <dRounse> iceroot: [4.043879] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer deference at 00000001
[08:28] <iceroot> dRounse: ah yes
[08:28] <cybermorpher> Will try thnx :0
[08:28] <iceroot> dRounse: had the same issue
[08:29] <iceroot> dRounse: what ubuntu version?
[08:29] <karstenk1977_> good morning together
[08:29] <dRounse> iceroot: the newest, well i was trying lubuntu
[08:29] <dRounse> iceroot: 11.10
[08:30] <iceroot> dRounse: ok, i had the same error-message long time before (8.04) the reason was there was a bug in the kernel delivered with the cd, the kernel from the repos was fine. my workaround was "using the minimal iso which is pulling the latest kernel from the repos"
[08:30] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: try Kubuntu or Xubuntu
[08:30] <iceroot> coolstar-ipod: they all use the same kernel by default on cd
[08:31] <iceroot> dRounse: maybe you could try the minimal-iso workaround
[08:31] <iceroot> !minimal | dRounse
[08:31] <dRounse> iceroot: but ive tried different distros
[08:31] <karstenk1977_> I have crashed my ubuntu webserver. Now i have made a restore of the whole data in a seperate directory. How can I setup my server with the restored data? only copy in the old directorys?
[08:31] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: you also stored the file-permissions/owner?
[08:32] <karstenk1977_> it looks like so
[08:32] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: or do all files no belong to the same user?
[08:32] <dRounse> the problem is... would it really happen multiple times with different distros
[08:32] <karstenk1977_> look like every user is the correct one
[08:32] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: ok, i would boot the server with a live-cd, mount the hdd and copy all files back
[08:33] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: it may also work without a live-cd if you can boot the server still
[08:33] <karstenk1977_> its a root-server
[08:33] <mufflon> dRounse: some minutes ago you wrote: usb boots but wont go to live cd. what do u mean?
[08:33] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: you can also try asking in ##linux as since it is affecting more than one distro it is a Linux issue in general
[08:33] <HermanDE> Anybody have a working tproxy server?
[08:33] <dRounse> mufflon: i meant a live environment sorry
[08:33] <mufflon> ah ok
[08:33] <coolstar-ipod> dRounse: stay here though. We may find a solution ;)
[08:33] <iceroot> dRounse: also it would be a good idea to fill a bug against the package "linux"
[08:34] <Yusuke> Hello, i tried to ' sudo apt-get install python-qt4 qt4-designer' , but gave me error : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827397/
[08:34] <karstenk1977_> I cannot mount anything other as the crashed old webserver
[08:34] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: ok ill stay here
[08:34] <karstenk1977_> it is a v-server by hosteurope
[08:34] <mufflon> it seems that there is a missing hardware-driver, perhaps u have to patch the kernel
[08:34] <dRounse> is there anyway i can send you guys a picture of the screen i have a pic here
[08:34] <iceroot> dRounse: you should give the minimal-iso method a try
[08:34] <iceroot> !picture | dRounse
[08:35] <iceroot> !screenshot | dRounse
[08:35] <dRounse> iceroot: i have tried the netinstall multiple times
[08:35] <iceroot> dRounse: ok, did you also try 12.04? just to see of the issue is fixed in the latest ubuntu-kernel
[08:36] <mufflon> dRounse: is it possible to launch a terminal?
[08:36] <dRounse> iceroot: i have not, i was told in the forums that it wasnt stable enough :/
[08:36] <TheYsNoi> has someone tested the alpha 2 release?
[08:36] <iceroot> TheYsNoi: #ubuntu+1
[08:36] <iceroot> dRounse: its not stable, yes. its just to see if your issue is fixed there
[08:36] <coolstar-ipod> dRouse: does CTRL+ALT+F1 get you a terminal?
[08:36] <TheYsNoi> thanks..
[08:36] <karstenk1977_> Can I reboot in a mode that i can copy the restored files back?
[08:37] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: any mode is ok but a live-cd and then mount your hdd is best
[08:37] <karstenk1977_> cannot mound a cd
[08:37] <dRounse> coolstar-ipod: i didnt try i only have one monitor so i have to wait till im done here
[08:38] <dRounse> http://imagebin.org/197044
[08:38] <dRounse> theres the link^^
[08:38] <Yusuke> Hello, i tried to ' sudo apt-get install python-qt4 qt4-designer' , but gave me error : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827397/
[08:38] <theadmin> Yusuke: You need to run a system upgrade
[08:39] <theadmin> Yusuke: (most likely)
[08:39] <Yusuke> ok
[08:39] <iceroot> dRounse: can you name me the exact version of the laptop? hp vp15xxx?
[08:39] <possible1994> My Motorola bluetooth headset works fine, but my Plantronics one fails to connect.
[08:40] <dRounse> iceroot: its a gateway desktop
[08:40] <dRounse> iceroot: heres the model number
[08:40] <possible1994> Is there a way to specify a pin to access a BT device?
[08:40] <dRounse> iceroot: (AK) MFATXHRN MDP E 4100
[08:41] <iceroot> dRounse: the name on the screen, your scrrenshot is only showing hp vp15  is there more?
[08:41] <dRounse> iceroot: thats my monitor
[08:42] <iceroot> dRounse: ah ok, i thought its a laptop
[08:42] <possible1994> Is there a way I can test a different driver for my BT, (I've already tried several snapshots of what is standard)
[08:43] <dRounse> iceroot:
[08:43] <dRounse> iceroot: http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/E4100_Series/2800471/2800471nv.shtml
[08:44] <iceroot> dRounse: can you please try 12.04? on launchpad it seems the bug is fixed in 12.04 directly and in 11.10 after the latest dist-upgrade. or use 10.04.3 (the latest version of 10.04)
[08:44] <iceroot> for all other releases its fixed after the latest dist-upgrade
[08:45] <iceroot> if this is the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/601226
[08:45] <dRounse> iceroot: so should i install 12.04 or 10.04.3
[08:45] <iceroot> dRounse: please just try to boot 12.04
[08:46] <iceroot> dRounse: no need to install, just boot the live-version
[08:46] <dRounse> iceroot: ok lemme download it
[08:46] <iceroot> do we have point-releases for non-lts version? LIKE 11.10.2?
[08:47] <karstenk1977_> how should i restore the data? with cp or mv?
[08:47] <dRounse> iceroot: download started
[08:47] <karstenk1977_> from restore directory in original
[08:48] <dRounse> iceroot: if it boots to a live version should i install then downgrade?
[08:48] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: cp -pr  (if i get the manpage correctly)
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: no
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: this is just for debugging
[08:48] <dRounse> iceroot: ok
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: thank you for your time about that
[08:48] <iceroot> dRounse: if it is working we will find a solution
[08:48] <dRounse> iceroot: what if this doesnt work
[08:49] <iceroot> dRounse: then i guess a better debug is needed
[08:49] <dRounse> iceroot: almost done downloading
[08:51] <karstenk1977_> is there a order to stop all services?
[08:52] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:52] <karstenk1977_> sory a command?
[08:52] <karstenk1977_> a command to kill all processes
[08:52] <cristian_c> I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails
[08:53] <theadmin> karstenk1977_: Err... "poweroff"
[08:53] <karstenk1977_> ;-)
[08:53] <karstenk1977_> without the kernel
[08:53] <dns53> karstenk1977_ init 0
[08:53] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: live-cd is the only way to have them stopped all and still a running system
[08:53] <cristian_c> the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version 2.0.1.9 to 2.0.2.0, but unfortunately the problem persists
[08:53] <cristian_c> What can I do to solve the problem?
[08:53] <dRounse> karstenk1977_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-controlling-access-to-linux-services.html
[08:53] <karstenk1977_> but i told you that i cannot mount any cd
[08:54] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: and i told you its ok to have them running but a live-cd would be better
[08:55] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: but you have a broken server and a backup, what should happen? the server even more broken?
[08:55] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: if you still have the backup, everything is fine
[08:56] <iceroot> karstenk1977_: the most important thing is NOT to change the file-owners/permissions
[08:56] <karstenk1977_> ok, iceroot i will try the most services i could stop
[08:56] <goddard> cds are old school
[08:56] <dRounse> goddard: floppys are old school
[08:56] <karstenk1977_> yes you are right, i cannot broke any more
[08:57] <goddard> dRounse: cds are the new old school
[08:57] <iceroot> or dvds/blu-rays...
[08:57] <dRounse> iceroot: ill be back im gonna try 12.04
[08:57] <iceroot> dRounse: would be great to get your feedback on that
[08:58] <goddard> dRounse: we got sd cards and flash storage not to mention streaming and cloud services
[08:59] <puta1234321> hi
[09:01] <dRounse> iceroot: no luck
[09:03] <iceroot> dRounse: is it possible for you to disable everything in the bios which is not needed?
[09:03] <iceroot> dRounse: bluetooth, serial port and so on
[09:04] <dRounse> iceroot: ill try... what if i flashed new bios or updated it
[09:05] <iceroot> dRounse: if that is possible for you its also a good idea
[09:05] <dRounse> iceroot: ive never done that im a  bit nervous
[09:06] <iceroot> dRounse: for the bios-update i would suggest the hardware-channel ##hardware  maybe they have some usefull tipps for you
[09:08] <MrKeuner> hi, I have written a host A record updater for my laptop. Where should I put that script for best performance? /etc/NetworkManager/dispatch.d or somewhere else?
[09:09] <ikonia> best performance ?
[09:09] <ikonia> just put it in your /etc/host file ?
[09:10] <MrKeuner> for fastest updating the A record upon ip change
[09:10] <MrKeuner> ikonia, updating DNS record for the WAN
[09:10] <jyfl987> a question, i have a public vps for a groups, now how can i talk with them ?
[09:10] <jyfl987> like in irc?
[09:11] <theadmin> jyfl987: That's offtopic here -_- Unless you are running the server. Then try setting up an IRC or an XMPP server, I guess.
[09:11] <ikonia> MrKeuner: most dhcp servers will update the dns records when they assign it
[09:12] <MrKeuner> I see noip2 is in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d for instance
[09:12] <theadmin> ikonia: No, update a DNS record from a DynDNS service for a dynamic IP, that's what (s)he wants.
[09:12] <ikonia> oooh
[09:12] <jyfl987> theadmin: i have read some article about how ealer hacker talk with each other in a machine
[09:12] <MrKeuner> theadmin, correct
[09:13] <ikonia> MrKeuner: well you won't get a performance boost from any message, the dns's servers expire time, cache time will be the deciding factor
[09:13] <ikonia> "method"
[09:13] <cowpatty> good morning, need help selecting print drivers.   may i post a cut and paste of the 3 choices?
[09:14] <MrKeuner> ikonia, right, but I'd like to do the best I can

[09:14] <ProGimp>  Is it possible to shrink the icon docks in 11.10 ?
[09:15] <MrKeuner> I can run the script every 5 minutes but, if I can also run it when I get a new ip for instance that would be better
[09:15] <ikonia> MrKeuner: as I've said there isn't a "best you can" method, do what ever works for you, however the response will depend on the dns server
[09:15] <randomDude> Prohimp, yes
[09:15] <ProGimp> How?
[09:15] <randomDude> ProGimp*
[09:15] <ProGimp> Yes?
[09:15] <randomDude> ProGimp, install compizconfig-settings-manager , then scroll to look for the unity plugin
[09:16] <ProGimp> OK. Thanks.
[09:16] <randomDude> ProGimp, it may or may not work the first time around. so try a reboot if it doesn't
[09:16] <MrKeuner> ikonia, assume that ttl 60 seconds and the dns server honor that value than there is better i can do in terms of notifying my authoritative dns
[09:17] <ikonia> MrKeuner: not really, and no public dns server would have that value as it would be blacklisted
[09:17] <MrKeuner> ikonia, dyndns subdomains have 60 seconds ttl
[09:17] <MrKeuner> and at least my isp dns honors that

[09:19] <cowpatty> thank you for the protocal
[09:19] <ikonia> cowpatty: you've been asked to not flood the channel, and you've just done it again, do you understand to not do that
[09:19] <ikonia> cowpatty: posting that information is useless, you need to ask a question explaining your problem
[09:20] <possible1994> How can I specify a passkey PIN code to my BT device when bluetooth manager never gives me that option?
[09:21] <ikonia> possible1994: the remote device normally is where the pass code is set, not the ubuntu client
[09:21] <possible1994> ikonia, Ah ok, well it keeps failing to connect. It detects it, and its MAC, but fails to connect.
[09:21] <cowpatty> how do i avoid flooding?  i found pastebin, but do not understand what to do after pasteing into pastebin.
[09:22] <possible1994> I've googled for an hour, I can't take it anymore
[09:23] <MrKeuner> possible1994, are you sure it is asking for one? some bt devices don't
[09:23] <dns53> possible1994 what type of device?  is the device in a pairing or discoverable mode?
[09:24] <tex> Hello
[09:24] <tex> !list
[09:24] <possible1994> MrKeuner, I don't believe it does, but I've moved onto desperate measures
[09:25] <MrKeuner> possible1994, what bt device is it
[09:26] <i_is_broke> cowpatty, paste the url in here of the pastebin page
[09:26] <possible1994> dns53, A Plantronics voyager pro headset, and yes I have placed it in discoverable mode. My laptop detects it and its MAC, but fails to connect, sometimes saying "connection refused"
[09:28] <heisenmink> I have a script in /etc/rc.local that isn't run as often as I'd like. Is there any file that is run every time one logs in?
[09:28] <dns53> possible1994 try turning it off and on and putting it in discovery mode, i have problems with my bluetooth headset and i need to pair it just about every time
[09:32] <possible1994> dns53, Failed, and I've done that several times anyway. There's something causing my bluetooth headset to reject my laptops request to pair with it.
[09:33] <MrKeuner> possible1994, not sure how but try enabling debug mode for blues subsystem on your laptop
[09:33] <Funhouse> Ben64: thank you
[09:33] <MrKeuner> might give you more clue as to what's happening
[09:33] <dns53> possible1994 have you tried having linux forget the device?
[09:33] <dlam> whats the command to check mail?     'mail' doesnt work
[09:33] <MrKeuner> try mutt
[09:33] <dlam> im root if that matters
[09:34] <MrKeuner> dlam, doesn;t work as in command not found?
[09:34] <possible1994> dns53, as in, remove it from bluetooth manager?
[09:34] <dlam> yeah,  "bash: mail: command not found"
[09:34] <dlam> dunno if its different in debian distros or something O_O
[09:35] <MrKeuner> dlam, apt-get install mailutils
[09:35] <Ben64> it is in /usr/bin/mail for me
[09:36] <osmosis> When I am in unity, on my second monitor...i am unable to access any of the drop down menus on the top bar...the menus are scatter. It is unusable. Does anyone know of a fix for this???
[09:36] <dlam> MrKeuner: ahh that did it
[09:37] <Guest92416> I switched the lightdm background picture in the file /etc/lightdm/unitysomething to a costum picture (the path is correct). but the picture doesn't load up and i get a black background
[09:37] <wisnia> !controls
[09:37] <dns53> possible1994 yes
[09:37] <possible1994> dns53, Yes I've tried that.
[09:38] <kalimojo> hi im looking for the software sources application. i dont have a system->administration launcher. where can i find this app ?
[09:38] <stephane_yaal> #yaal
[09:39] <MrKeuner> kalimojo, gksu /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
[09:39] <possible1994> Oh how I wish I could pair this bluetooth device.
[09:40] <MrKeuner> possible1994, did you already check bluetooth subsystem debug notice? also trying increasing its verbosity level
[09:40] <bouma> why cant i install kbibtex in oneric ?
[09:40] <possible1994> MrKeuner, I don't know how to check the subsystem debug notice
[09:41] <bouma> it doesnt show in synaptic, and apt-get says its only referred to by another package
[09:42] <dns53> possible1994 have you restarted your machine? i once crashed the bluetooth daemon and it would not work untill i restarted the machine
[09:43] <possible1994> dns53, Yes, that actually is a reported bug
[09:43] <kalimojo> thanks mrkeuner
[09:44] <MrKeuner> welcome
[09:45] <scarleo_> bouma, doesnt seem to exist in oneiric, it was in natty and seems to get in in Precise again, don't know why
[09:45] <MrKeuner> possible1994, try running /usr/bin/bluetooth-properties in a terminal and see if that creates a meaningful error message when pairing is rejected
[09:45] <scarleo_> bouma, you can probably try to install either natty or precise version
[09:46] <scarleo_> bouma, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kbibtex
[09:47] <possible1994> MrKeuner, That's a nonexistent directory
[09:48] <MrKeuner> possible1994, ok, thats where it is on Lucid
[09:49] <bouma> scarleo_: what about https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+package/kbibtex
[09:50] <possible1994> Is /usr/src/foo a directory containing source code files?
[09:51] <scarleo_> bouma, so, just install it then, don't know why the pages say different things, either way is fine I guess
[09:51] <artao> hello
[09:51] <artao> anyone live?
[09:51] <dns53> welcome
[09:52] <artao> thx
[09:52] <artao> i've got a question re: ubuntu studio distro
[09:52] <artao> can i run it off usb key or does it require a full install?
[09:52] <dns53> you do not need permission to ask a question, just ask it (all on one line if possible)
[09:53] <bouma> scarleo_: well as i tried to explain, synaptic doesnt show it, and apt-get gives the error as stated
[09:53] <dario_> list
[09:53] <dario_> \list
[09:53] <MrKeuner> good night friends
[09:54] <artao> is anyone here even familiar with ubuntu studio?
[09:54] <dario_> !list
[09:54] <scarleo_> bouma, are you n 32 or 64 ?
[09:54] <dns53> artao there may be someone here, they do have their own room
[09:54] <bouma> scarleo_: 64
[09:55] <scarleo_> bouma, on tthis page grab the .deb under "Downloadable files" https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/kbibtex/0.2.3.90-1
[09:56] <bouma> scarleo_: will that update ?
[09:56] <bouma> scarleo_: I mean will it stay uptodate with the update manager?
[09:56] <dns53> artao do you have a general ubuntu question or an ubuntu-studio specific question?    you could try asking in #ubuntustudio
[09:56] <artao> ah! i had no idea, thx
[09:56] <osmosis> is there anyway to change the password strength on the generator for Revelation?
[09:56] <osmosis> is there anyway to change the password strength on the generator for Revelation password manager in gnome2?
[09:57] <artao> i'll look to see if anyone's over there .. i'd just like to try ubuntu studio .. don't know if i can run it off a usb key .. their site doesn't say
[09:57] <theadmin> artao: You can
[09:57] <scarleo_> bouma, not if it's not in your repositories
[09:57] <artao> theadmin: i CAN run it off usb key?
[09:57] <EderNauta> hi
[09:58] <Galeo> Hi. *Beginner* I'm trying to run Tor Browser Bundle on Ubuntu 10.10, but it says I ain't able to connect to the tor network, while on the other side, I can run Tor alone and beeing "connected".
[09:58] <theadmin> artao: Yeah, just use LiLi USB Creator (from Windows) or usb-creator-gtk (from Ubuntu-like Linux) or Unetbootin (from any Linux, but it sometimes fails)
[09:58] <artao> i've been using Universal USB .. i assume that's ot a problem?
[09:59] <EderNauta> artao: The best tool for run image of linux its unetbootin
[09:59] <artao> (doesn't appear to be anyone live over at #ubuntustudio)
[09:59] <theadmin> artao: Yeah, I don't think that really works
[09:59] <dario__> !list
[09:59] <damo22> what does ubuntu use for remote desktop sharing/
[09:59] <theadmin> EderNauta: Unetbootin fails with most distributions except Ubuntu, so no, that's not the *best* tool for *linux* image
[09:59] <damo22> what is the name of the program?
[09:59] <theadmin> damo22: Vinagre if I recall right
[09:59] <artao> k .. i've got unetbootin as well
[10:00] <artao> JUST figured out yesterday .. after MUCH experimentation! ... that only one or two of my usb ports is bootable ... heh
[10:00] <damo22> no vinagre is not it
[10:00] <heisenmink> is there something like .bash_login but for the graphical session login/resume?
[10:00] <artao> thx
[10:01] <theadmin> heisenmink: Depends on your desktop environment really, for Openbox it's ~/.config/openbox/autostart, for KDE it's ~/.kde4/share/Autostart and I have no idea about gnome
[10:01] <artao> could you tell me what DM/WM ubuntu studio uses and how easy/hard it is to change it?
[10:01] <heisenmink> theadmin, I'm running gnome3/ubuntu11.10"oneiric ocelot"
[10:02] <artao> i tried regular ubuntu, but don't like gnome ... now downloading kubuntu and xubuntu
[10:02] <artao> but i REALLY like all the included progs in ubuntu studio
[10:02] <heisenmink> artao, It's very easy to change yourself
[10:02] <theadmin> artao: Ubuntu Studio uses gnome if I recall right
[10:02] <artao> k
[10:02] <artao> i couldn't find in standard ubuntu (running off dvd) where/how to change the DM/WM
[10:03] <theadmin> artao: You just need to install the one you need from APT and then change on the login screen -_-
[10:03] <artao> ahhh
[10:03] <artao> ic
[10:03] <artao> i thought maybe i needed to run a command line tool
[10:04] <dns53> heisenmink  try running gnome-session-properties
[10:04] <artao> ubuntu is the only distro i've tried so far that just worked
[10:04] <artao> :D
[10:04] <artao> BUT i'd prefer to be using E17, KDE, or xfce
[10:04] <possible1994> Someone tell me how to troubleshoot a non-connecting bluetooth headset
[10:04] <EderNauta> artao: are you try KDE?
[10:05] <artao> i've tried debian/kde and linux mint kde
[10:05] <artao> debian ran faster .. mint was sluggish .. BUT i liked kde
[10:05] <EderNauta> nooo, try new kde
[10:05] <EderNauta> artao: try it kubuntu
[10:05] <heisenmink> dns53, isn't that for only bootup? or for all kinds of login?
[10:05] <artao> also had some difficulty getting dual-head display to work right
[10:06] <artao> ja, kubuntu now downloading along with xubuntu and elive
[10:06] <cristian_c> an other question:
[10:06] <artao> i got the dual screen working, but couldn't seem to change which monitor was the primary
[10:06] <artao> ubuntu got it right
[10:06] <EderNauta> my fauvorite desktop enviroment its KDE 4
[10:06] <cristian_c> I'm using lubuntu 11.10
[10:06] <dns53> heisenmink that is for applications that start with gnome3,  there is no generic way of starting applications you need to do it per desktop environment
[10:07] <cristian_c> I can not see the volume icon on the panel
[10:07] <heisenmink> dns53, my trackpad configuration is reset each time I restart my computer or go to sleep / wake or hibernate/waker
[10:07] <cristian_c> I added, but still can not see it
[10:07] <cristian_c> What can I do?
[10:08] <EderNauta> cristian_c: try to add a new... dont remember the name....
[10:09] <cristian_c> EderNauta, I've done this :(
[10:09] <EderNauta> cristian_c: clic on bar and try to add a item
[10:09] <VictorCL> how can I check what services I can use with init.d ?
[10:09] <cristian_c> EderNauta, anyone?
[10:09] <dns53> heisenmink   what do you do to fix it? run a script? a gui program?
[10:10] <EderNauta> cristian_c: in the menu bar, the pannel, clic left mouse button and add a item, search the audio icon
[10:10] <EderNauta> cristian_c: or you use gnome 3?
[10:10] <heisenmink> dns53, I have a script with "synclient x=y k=z" lines
[10:10] <cristian_c> EderNauta, I've done :(
[10:11] <cristian_c> EderNauta, no
[10:11] <EderNauta> cristian_c: why desktop you use? gnome 3 or previus gnome?
[10:11] <cristian_c> EderNauta, lxde
[10:12] <dario_> !list
[10:12] <EderNauta> cristian_c: aaam  , i dont know lxde enviroment
[10:12] <artao> it's been 6 - 8 yrs since i last maintained a linux box ... SOOO .. IIRC the DM/WM can be set per user, yes?
[10:12] <Myrtti> cristian_c: you could ask in #lubuntu?
[10:12] <llutz> artao: WM yes, DM no
[10:12] <artao> so i can have multiple users with different DM/WM so I can test performance under each,yes?
[10:12] <artao> ??
[10:13] <cristian_c> Myrtty, I'll try
[10:13] <artao> please elaborate
[10:13] <llutz> artao: a user can set his WM, but not the DM
[10:13] <artao> so if i set E17, every user has it? or is E17 a WM nowadays?
[10:13] <artao> same question re: xfce
[10:13] <llutz> artao: its a WM
[10:13] <artao> k
[10:14] <eXpander> How to check the current volume in terminal? I know one can use "amixer", but is there any similiarar to pavucontrol but for terminal?
[10:14] <llutz> artao: DMs are xdm, gdm, lightdm, kdm, slim etc.pp
[10:14] <theadmin> eXpander: alsamixer
[10:14] <artao> hm
[10:14] <artao> openbox?
[10:14] <theadmin> artao: Window manager
[10:14] <llutz> artao: wm
[10:14] <artao> huhn
[10:14] <artao> things have changed ...
[10:14] <artao> cool
[10:14] <llutz> artao: i guess you mean DE DesktopEnvironment, not DM displayManager
[10:14] <eXpander> theadmin, no, alsamixer, I want a pulseaudio mixer in terminal
[10:14] <artao> AHHH
[10:14] <theadmin> artao: DMs are login screens. DEs are window managers AND a set of some application.
[10:15] <artao> i guess so LOLZ
[10:15] <Yusuke> sigh i have even updated my system , im running on 11.04 , and yet the error still the same http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827466/   , in my lame Windows XP i dont even need to upgrade anything
[10:15] <theadmin> artao: And a window manager is just the thing which draws the window borders
[10:15] <eXpander> does "pactl" show the current volume in %?
[10:15] <artao> .. and decorations and gadgets etc. yes?
[10:15] <artao> thx
[10:16] <artao> i think i get it now
[10:16] <artao> so i'll add ubuntu studio to my que. heh.
[10:16] <artao> gotta find something to do til all these downloads are in
[10:16] <artao> ;)
[10:16] <theadmin> artao: No, window managers don't deal with gadgets
[10:16] <artao> k. what would THAT be then?
[10:16] <Yusuke> sigh i have even updated my system , im running on 11.04 , and yet the error still the same http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827466/   , in my lame Windows XP i dont even need to upgrade anything
[10:17] <theadmin> artao: Desktop environments. Such as Gnome, KDE, etc
[10:17] <artao> E17 and kde incude them
[10:17] <artao> aha
[10:17] <theadmin> artao: E17 is more of a desktop environment than a window manager nowadays :D
[10:17] <artao> k
[10:17] <theadmin> Yusuke: You don't have to repeat often, when someone knows someone helps
[10:17] <artao> i had a BIG problem fighting with E17 to use my dual-displays
[10:18] <theadmin> artao: Try using lxrandr
[10:18] <artao> i looked online and found that it seems E17 indeed has some issues in that area
[10:18] <artao> any advice?
[10:18] <theadmin> artao: lxrandr, it's a tool for easy monitor configuration, universal pretty much
[10:18] <artao> k .. i found something call grandr, but that didn't help a whole lot
[10:18] <artao> noted
[10:19] <Yusuke> what does "not installable" mean , if it is really not for install , then why the hell put the additional packages as required things
[10:20] <dns53> Yusuke there are packages there for transitioning between versions, package was called foo, is now called bar etc

[10:21] <eXpander> mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=800:height=600:fps=15:device=/dev/video0  -ovc x264 -nosound -o cam_`date +%F_%T`.avi
[10:21] <ServerSage> eXpander: Sounds like a problem for the mencoder irc channel.
[10:22] <Monkeypaws> I want to use ffmpeg or ffserver to input a stream from my ipcamera and output to a stream apache can use.  I have the input working fine, but, do i need to output a file or do i have to use ffserver to stream the output?
[10:22] <Culiforge> 10.04 is not booting after installing nvidia 8400gs, tried to boot with nomodeset with no luck, any other ideas?
[10:23] <ServerSage> Culiforge: When you say it doesn't boot, where does it stop?
[10:24] <Culiforge> ServerSage: I get a lo-res boot splash then it hangs at a loading please wait...
[10:24] <rodhash> (WW) intel(0): first get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument
[10:24] <rodhash> Hello .. does anyone know how to fix it??
[10:25] <ServerSage> Culiforge: I'm guessing it's hanging either trying to load the nvidia module, or trying to start X.  Are you familiar with grub?
[10:26] <Culiforge> ServerSage: on a beginning level I am
[10:26] <Culiforge> ServerSage: so I guess mostly no
[10:27] <theadmin> ServerSage: Are you trying to boot into the no-X mode? Append "text" to your kernel line.
[10:27] <ServerSage> theadmin: No, I was going to suggest getting rid of splash to see where it was hanging.
[10:28] <rodhash> Hi.. anyone?
[10:28] <theadmin> ServerSage: Oh, uh, just press Escape during boot. Or append "noquiet nosplash" to the line.
[10:28] <ServerSage> Culiforge: There ya go, do what theadmin just said.  :)
[10:28] <ServerSage> !ask | rodhash
[10:29] <Culiforge> so would that be the same line I appended the nomodeset to.. the boot/ linux...
[10:29] <rodhash> (WW) intel(0): first get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument
[10:29] <rodhash> Hi.. anyone?
[10:29] <rodhash> Hello .. does anyone know how to fix it??
[10:29] <ServerSage> Culiforge: Yup.  That would be the one.
[10:29] <Culiforge> ServerSage: ok, I'll be back in a couple to report then
[10:29] <ServerSage> rodhash: Aah, didn't realize you had asked already.  Just chill, if somebody knows the answer they will chime in.  Chances are nobody knows.
[10:31] <ServerSage> rodhash: Out of curiosity, is that coming from the X logs?
[10:32] <ahhughez> I cant find anything like tag and rename for ubuntu :'( ideas?
[10:32] <rodhash> ServerSage, yes.. from Xorg.0.log
[10:32] <ServerSage> rodhash: Do you get it all the time, or only when you do certain things (watch videos, play games, etc…)?
[10:33] <ServerSage> ahhughez: I think there is something called Audio Tag Tool.   I've not used it though.
[10:34] <rodhash> when I start compiz... but it started today only, and compiz and its effects becomes slow
[10:34] <ServerSage> ahhughez: Wow, never mind.  It's not been updated in a long time it would appear.
[10:34] <rodhash> ServerSage, and I've googled but found nothing
[10:34] <damo22> how do you force a recheck of a raid array, so it doesnt get marked as degraded?
[10:35] <ServerSage> ahhughez: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
[10:36] <Culiforge> ServerSage: Ok, what I saw was "cannot write .pid file /dev/initramfs.d/plymouth.pid
[10:36] <ServerSage> damo22: It's probably getting marked as degraded for a reason.  :)
[10:36] <xanax`> hello
[10:36] <Culiforge> ServerSage: or something quite like that
[10:37]  * theadmin is off. See ya everyone, hamsters to all of you %)
[10:37] <damo22> serversage: basically its raid5 with 5 disks, 1 failed badly and the spare didnt get a chance to resync fully
[10:37] <KayGridley> anyone know why on a reboot I'd lose all the ip settings on a 10.04 server?
[10:37] <ServerSage> rodhash: I found a few things talking about xorg bugs and upgrading mesa.  :/  Not sure that will help you though.
[10:37] <damo22> i want to force the loading of disk5 into the final position and get it to fire  up
[10:37] <damo22> without a spare
[10:38] <dns53> damo22 so you have not lost data but you do not have enough disks to satisfy the redundency?
[10:38] <ServerSage> damo22: So you have a RAID5, 5 disks total but one is dead and you want to pull the spare in?
[10:38] <damo22> dns53: yes
[10:39] <dns53> have you put in a spare disk?
[10:39] <cowpatty> cowpatty
[10:39] <damo22> dns53: no i have hot removed the faulty disk
[10:39] <cowpatty> format a usb drive with FAT32 file system
[10:39] <damo22> and i want to load the spare without replacing the spare
[10:39] <rodhash> ServerSage, hmm ... besides xorg is getting those erros my ubuntu is working fine, but I'd like to fix that.... but I didn't figure out how..
[10:39] <damo22> s/second spare/faulty
[10:39] <ServerSage> KayGridley: I'm not sure, but this page may help:  https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[10:40] <pfSenseLogs> is there a way to check which IP modified a file in a shared folder?
[10:40] <damo22> can i create a dummy loopback device and insert it as the new spare?
[10:40] <ServerSage> rodhash: I don't run a GUI at all on my linux boxes, so it's a bit outside my realm of experience.  Is your box up to date?
[10:40] <dns53> damo22 you need to rescan the disks (i'm not sure how to do this without rebooting), mark the new disk for raid, then add the disk to the existing raid array
[10:40] <KayGridley> ServerSage: thanks, just realised I'm a) a complete idiot and b) have been reading that but using the temp settings
[10:41] <KayGridley> will now go and hang head in shame
[10:41] <dns53> damo22 it will then automatically rebuild the array to the new disk
[10:41] <ServerSage> KayGridley: Hehe, we have all been there.  Simply apply head to desk several times, always helps.
[10:42] <KayGridley> ServerSage: believe me already doing that!  It has been a morning, turns out me/our tech guy forgot to put the air con back on in the server room yesterday morning
[10:42] <KayGridley> losing an ip address being a minor issue after fixing that one :)
[10:42] <ServerSage> KayGridley: Let me guess, turned it off because you were freezing standing in there working at console?  :)
[10:43] <damo22> dns53: http://pastebin.com/pDpyJdtD
[10:43] <KayGridley> ServerSage: nope, turned it off coz my boss was freezing standing there watching me work :)
[10:43] <damo22> i got it to insert the spare /dev/sdf1 as position 4 but it says clean, degraded
[10:43] <ServerSage> KayGridley: At least you can blame the boss.  :)
[10:43] <pfSenseLogs> is there a way to check which IP modified a file in a shared folder?
[10:43] <KayGridley> could have sworn we'd put it back on but the remote is a bit dodgy so I suspect I forgot to double check it had actually worked
[10:44] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: You can look in the logs in /var/log.
[10:44] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: NFS or Samba?
[10:44] <pfSenseLogs> samba
[10:44] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: Yup, depending on your smb.conf file you should have logs in /var/log/samba/
[10:45] <Monkeypaws> im tryin to input a mjpeg http stream from an ip camera and output to something apache can stream.  Is VLC what i need or is there a better way?
[10:45] <pfSenseLogs> what makes a difference in smb.conf?
[10:46] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: You can set log level, your log file, what shares are logged, etc...
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> if nothing is set
[10:46] <dns53> damo22   so it does not know about the new disk, there is something you needed to run to mark the disk for raid and add it to the degraded array, let me google it
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> nothgin is done?
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> or logging is done by default
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> ?
[10:46] <ServerSage> pfSenseLogs: I'm not sure what the default is.  You'll have to look.
[10:46] <pfSenseLogs> ok
[10:48] <damo22> dns53: do you think its a good idea to add the faulty disk as a spare, it has a lot of direct I/O buffer read sector errors
[10:48] <dns53>  damo22   it should be something like:    mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --add /dev/sdf1
[10:48] <dns53> damo22 probably not, but you can, you just need to wipe the partition table
[10:49] <ServerSage> Monkeypaws: You're asking that question in kind of the wrong channel.
[10:49] <dns53> damo22   mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdf1
[10:49] <damo22> really? on sdf1? whys that
[10:49] <obounaim> I have difficult time viewing the ubuntu developer week logs i need to scroll left and write to read and the scroll bar is at the end of the log
[10:51] <dns53> damo22 that was the disk you added?
[10:51] <damo22> dns53: yes, mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sdf1 for write - not zeroing
[10:51] <dns53> damo22 so it is probably dead or on it's way out
[10:53] <tellone> ! path|me
[10:53] <ServerSage> !path | tellone
[10:54] <damo22> dns53: so with 3/5 disks intact and the 4th one on its way out, if i add a 5th disk will it recover?
[10:54] <ServerSage> tellone: Don't think ubottu-the-great understand path.
[10:55] <tellone> ServerSage: guess not
[10:55] <dns53> damo22 did we just kill the wrong disk?
[10:55] <Chotaz_> how can I find which processes or jobs are using a specific hdd?
[10:55] <dns53> Chotaz_ lsof
[10:55] <damo22> dns53: i dont think it wrote anything to the disk
[10:55] <tellone> is there a max-value for path length?
[10:56] <damo22> dns53: since it was part of the array
[10:56] <dns53> damo22  so /proc/mdstats still shows that it is a clean but degraded array?
[10:56] <DJones> sudo apt-get install bitlbee
[10:57] <DJones> ugh, sorry
[10:57] <damo22> dns53: md3 : active raid5 sdb1[0] sdf1[6] sde1[3] sdd1[2]
[10:57] <damo22>       7814041600 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [5/4] [U_UUU]
[10:58] <dns53> damo22 so you have not lost any data, just add another disk of equal or greater size to the array and watch it rebuild over the next day
[10:58] <meetaw> plot() doesn't work in scilab
[10:58] <meetaw> with ubuntu 11.10
[10:58] <meetaw> any fix ?
[10:59] <damo22> dns53: for some reason it thinks /dev/sdf1  is in position 6 (spare), but mdadm --detail shows position 4
[11:00] <damo22> dns53: its because i hacked it in /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sdf1/
[11:00] <damo22> i forced it to slot 4
[11:00] <meetaw> anybody ?
[11:01] <damo22> but it needs to detect the array as not degraded

[11:04] <dmtarmey_>  hi chat room im using vbox to run windows xp inside linux , the problem is windows in vbox is not picking up usb sticks, it is picking up usb modem though any ideas please.
[11:05] <ServerSage> dmtarmey_: That might be better asked in #vbox.  Is the linux host seeing the USB sticks?
[11:05] <dmtarmey_> ServerSage iv tried no one seems to be there
[11:06] <dmtarmey_> It dosnt seem like the linux is seeing the USN stick
[11:06] <ServerSage> dmtarmey_: It's more active in a few hours.
[11:06] <dns53> damo22 could you restart the machine?
[11:06] <dmtarmey_> ServerSage cheers
[11:06] <ServerSage> dmtarmey_: If you plug in the USB stick and run dmesg do you see anything about it?
[11:07] <damo22> dns53: no because its not my machine i am vncd into it
[11:07] <kalimojo> are there keystroke loggers for ubuntu ?
[11:07] <dmtarmey_> ServerSage let me try that!
[11:07] <ServerSage> kalimojo: Yes, there.
[11:08] <kalimojo> ?
[11:09] <ServerSage> kalimojo: Oops, hit enter too quick.  Yes there are.  Take a look at lkl.
[11:09] <dns53> damo22 ok, so could you try failing the replaced disk?      mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --fail /dev/sdf1
[11:09] <meetaw> plot() does not work in scilab with ubuntu 11.10. Any fix ?
[11:09] <damo22> dns53: the faulty disk has been removed from the array already
[11:10] <damo22> dns53: it was /dev/sdc1
[11:10] <dns53> damo22 but you put it back?
[11:10] <damo22> dns53: no i used the spare /dev/sdf1 and forced it into slot 4
[11:10] <ServerSage> meetaw: First off, we heard the first time.  Second, what is it doing?  "Doesn't work" isn't really much to go on.
[11:11] <damo22> dns53: /dev/sdc1 was slot 1 before but now slot 1 is empty
[11:11] <Phant> Hi how do i disable html5 video crashing buggy crap lol in chromium 16.0.912.77? flash is working just fine for me i have ubuntu 10.10 installed
[11:12] <ascianabhro> is there any displayconfigGTK or similar alternative available for ubuntu 10.04?
[11:12] <meetaw> The graphics windows crashes
[11:13] <meetaw> I think it is a problem with libgl1-mes-glx
[11:13] <damo22> dns53: 0      active sync   /dev/sdb1 ----  1      removed  ----  2      active sync   /dev/sdd1 ----- -3      active sync   /dev/sde1 ------ 4      active sync   /dev/sdf1
[11:13] <ServerSage> meetaw: What video card?  Intel?
[11:13] <meetaw> Yes
[11:13] <meetaw> Ironhide
[11:14] <ServerSage> meetaw: I just spent 10 seconds googling (thats all you get!) and here is what I found:  http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=321201
[11:15] <meetaw> Yeah I looked at that that thread. Unfortunately the solution breaks gnome-shell and unity
[11:16] <dns53> damo22 so there are 4 disks in the array out of 5?  so what is the problem?
[11:16] <Kartagis> hi
[11:16] <damo22> dns53: it says clean, degraded
[11:16] <ServerSage> meetaw: Did you try the suggestion near the bottom made by R. Riviere?
[11:16] <damo22> dns53: and doesnt seem to mount
[11:16] <Kartagis> I can't get mu sound applet anymore. help me?
[11:16] <ServerSage> meetaw: I can't see who that would break gnome-shell or unity.
[11:17] <meetaw> Yeah. It doesn't seem to work.
[11:17] <dns53> damo22 it will, it has all the data on disk so it is "clean" but does not have the redundancy, so it is "degraded", you should be able to use it in a degraded state
[11:17] <meetaw> It breaks because gnome-shell and unity need libgl1-mesa-glx to work. Removing it breaks them
[11:18] <ServerSage> meetaw: You'll probably have better luck asking scilab folks.
[11:18] <damo22> dns53: but /proc/mdstat says sdf1[6] which means it still thinks its the spare
[11:19] <damo22> dns53: i need it to say sdf1[1]
[11:19] <ServerSage> meetaw: Actually, there is even an IRC channel for scilab.
[11:20] <ServerSage> meetaw: http://tinyurl.com/84yv7yo
[11:20] <vlt> Hello. How to change the language of cryptsetup's passphrase prompt (from initrd)?
[11:20] <damo22> dns53: sorry i mean sdf1[4]
[11:21] <damo22> dns53: it should say that
[11:24] <user82> Hi! maybe a beginner question: but where does the output go when i press a magic sysrq key?
[11:25] <iceroot> user82: directly to tty
[11:26] <meetaw> ServerSage: thanks
[11:26] <meetaw> Apparently
[11:26] <meetaw> I was using the 32 bit library
[11:27] <meetaw> Silly me
[11:27] <dns53> damo22 i'm still not sure why you cannot use the array, it should be active
[11:28] <user82> iceroot, can i show it in the gnome terminal or only via ctrl+alt+1 (i assume 1 is tty)?
[11:28] <iceroot> user82: maybe syslog is also holding it
[11:28] <iceroot> user82: also see #bash maybe they know how to put that in your terminal instead of tty1
[11:29] <ikonia> you won't be able to put it into the gnome terminal
[11:29] <user82> okay thanks iceroot
[11:29] <ikonia> as magic sysrq sends a break to the kernel, which can only output to the default tty as X11/gnome is a process running on top of it
[11:29] <ikonia> magic sysrq will hang your system and interup all processes, so you can't send it to the desktop based terminals
[11:30] <user82> ikonia, where do i see tty? ctrl+alt+f1 sends me to tty1
[11:30] <ikonia> user82: what are you trying to do and why ?
[11:30] <kalimojo> what is a good server/channel for general chat ?
[11:30] <iceroot> !ot | kalimojo
[11:31] <user82> ikonia, pretty much nothing...i just wanted to test it
[11:31] <user82> dont ask me why...^^
[11:31] <dns53> kalimojo there is #ubuntu-chat for example
[11:31] <ikonia> user82: ok - research magic sysrq then
[11:40] <Themenace> Yo, anyone who knows any status on Bug #846407 ?
[11:41] <Themenace> This bug stops me from working at home right now! And it's been in "confirmed" state for a while now..
[11:43] <bullgard4> Themenace: states the status of a bug in each report.
[11:43] <bullgard4> Themenace: Launchpad states the status of a bug in each report.
[11:44] <dns53> Themenace xrdp is not really a server, it acts more like a proxy between rdp and vnc so you need some setup to get it working
[11:45] <dns53> Themenace you will need to start a vnc session and then set up xrdp to allow you to remotely login to the session
[11:46] <Themenace> dns53: Ok, thanks for the tip.. I have xrdp and is able to log in but the only thing that appears is my wallpapaer..
[11:46] <Themenace> wallpaper*
[11:46] <Themenace> and yeah, perhaps I could get it to work with some configurations .. but when I had 11.04 it worked "as it should"
[11:47] <Themenace> And I just want to be able to rdp to my office computer without the hazzle of special configurations and so on :)
[11:48] <Themenace> And since this is a bug I just wounder when someone is starting to work on the fix
[11:48] <Themenace> -u
[11:48] <Themenace> sorry for my spelling
[11:48] <dns53> Themenace you can get it working, i have read some documentation but i have not had time myself
[11:49] <dns53> Themenace just use vnc +ssh for the moment, that is easier to get working
[11:49] <Themenace> dns53: thanks for the tip.. i'll try to use that setup meanwhile the bug is getting fixed
[11:51] <user82> in KDE all the popups are "stored" in the messages. does that work in gnome3 too(are they in some log...)?

[12:33] <ActionParsnip> jojose: set them to static IP
[12:33] <reisio> jojose: why do you want to?
[12:34] <jojose> because i have installed network manager and i dont need that
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> jojose: network manager is a service, the UI on the desktop just manages it for you
[12:35] <reisio> jojose: maybe something like this: http://www.dotkam.com/2008/08/06/speed-up-ubuntu-boot-time-by-starting-networking-on-the-background/
[12:35] <reisio> or instead of shutting down, you could use some form of suspend/hibernate

[12:41] <sudipta> hi....I'm using gnome shell and Alt+f2 does not work for me....what to do now?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: you could install gmrun and map the alt+f2 to run gmrun
[12:42] <reisio> ah right
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: its a terminal command, gives one line of output which is fine to paste in here...
[12:42] <prabhu> hello...is there anybody out there ?
[12:42] <reisio> sudipta: are you sure alt+f2 is meant to do that?  You might ask #gnome

[12:42] <reisio> prabhu: nope :)

[12:42] <sudipta> reisio:yeah...it worked earlier
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: is it the same for all users (make a new one if you have only one user)
[12:43] <reisio> earlier when? :p
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: ericus's link looks good
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: once you give the output of the simple command I may be able to advise..
[12:44] <sudipta> ericus:yeah...thanks a lot
[12:47] <chroot> help, my ubuntu 11.10 is very slow, i can't stdand it, how can i fix it?
[12:48] <chroot> especially when i open file manager.
[12:48] <chroot> i don't know what's wrong with it?
[12:48] <reisio> chroot: what processor/ram/gpu have you?
[12:49] <chroot> reisio, i have intel core
[12:49] <chroot> ram
[12:49] <reisio> Core i?
[12:49] <chroot> not gpu
[12:49] <chroot> yes
[12:49] <zwoxyz> Is there anyone here with knowledge about Armitage?
[12:49] <reisio> zwoxyz: good character
[12:49] <chroot> reisio, have you ever encounter the same problem?
[12:50] <reisio> chroot: could be an indication of driver misconfiguration, system insanity, hardware failure... lot of variables
[12:51] <chroot> oh, reisio , my file system is full, is this the problem?
[12:51] <reisio> chroot: that is definitely a good suspicion :)
[12:52] <reisio> chroot: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-clear-the-package-cache/
[12:52] <chroot> reisio, you mean when file system almost full, it will slow down your system?
[12:52] <chroot> ok,
[12:52] <reisio> chroot: it can bring your system to a halt
[12:53] <chroot> then why is that?
[12:53] <chroot> i mean why this will happen?
[12:53] <reisio> because a lot of processes require temporary file space to function
[12:53] <reisio> and eventually you'll run out of space in RAM, and swap
[12:53] <chroot> and the temporaty file will be in dir /var?
[12:53] <chroot> am i right?
[12:54] <kralle> hello can please someone tell me how to change the dnsmasq port from 53 to tomething else ?
[12:54] <reisio> it's not a good idea to let your file systems get full anyways, as the proactive anti-fragmentation systems will become unable to function
[12:54] <reisio> chroot: not sure, check the link I gave
[12:54] <chroot> ok
[12:55] <kralle> anyone ? :)

[13:00] <chroot> reisio, are you still there?
[13:00] <reisio> yup
[13:00] <chroot> i checked out the link you give me
[13:00] <reisio> mmhmm
[13:00] <chroot> en and my apt/archives is only 283 M
[13:00] <chroot> that is not big
[13:01] <reisio> twss
[13:01] <reisio> chroot: it's just a convenient place to start
[13:01] <reisio> you should remove more than 283MB if your system is full
[13:01] <chroot> oh, and i scaned my file system, it said that i have used %84
[13:01] <chroot> is that full?
[13:02] <reisio> well no, it's 84 out of a hundred
[13:02] <chroot> and my hard disk is 500 Gb
[13:02] <reisio> check with df -i, though
[13:04] <chroot> reisio, well, i there are still a lot of nodes i can use .
[13:05] <direktor> a
[13:05] <reisio> chroot: okay, so it's probably not space, then
[13:05] <chroot> then what,
[13:05] <chroot> is it the file manager problem?
[13:06] <reisio> that's one possibility
[13:06] <chroot> then, i should reinstall the nautilus ?
[13:06] <kralle> someone please help me ?
[13:06] <chroot> that is right?
[13:06] <kralle> i cant start dnsmasq it says port 53 is in use
[13:10] <kralle> what a bounch of idiots ..
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> chroot: i suggest you uninsall old unused kernels. It can help free lots of space
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> kralle: who are these idiots?
[13:11] <kralle> not here wrong query
[13:11] <kralle> anyway can someone help me 1 miute
[13:11] <kralle> minute?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> kralle: sure
[13:12] <chroot> well, ActionParsnip , but when you turn on your computer, there is only one kernel you are using, so it should mean that the ram and cpu will only used by that kernel.
[13:12] <kralle> i have startet a hotspot in ubuntu
[13:12] <kralle> but then ican not start dnsmasq
[13:12] <kralle> :(
[13:12] <kralle> can you help me out
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> chroot: I thought it was a drive space issue, not RAM.D'oh
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> kralle: dnsmasq is a service, not an icon
[13:13] <kralle> yes lol
[13:13] <kralle> i know i need to run it but get the error port 53 is in use
[13:13] <kralle> if i stiop the hotspot service it starts
[13:13] <LjL> kralle: then you probably have some other service doing DNS on your system?
[13:13] <kralle> but i need both
[13:13] <chroot> ActionParsnip, i do have 3 kernel in my system, but i checked that these kernel only take me 73 Mb
[13:13] <foo> what's the default fsck to check a drive? eg. the regular maintenance one? I forget the parameters. Thanks! I need to check a drive, I'm seeing this:  EXT3-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
[13:13] <LjL> kralle: tell the hotspot service to not serve DNS
[13:13] <kralle> how
[13:13] <kralle> :)
[13:14] <kralle> is the built in service in ubuntu
[13:14] <kralle> i just choice use as hotspot
[13:14] <kralle> so how could i run both services
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> chroot: each is about 120Mb on the disk
[13:14] <LjL> kralle: i've never used Ubuntu's hotspot service (didn't even know about it), but let me see.
[13:15] <kralle> great :)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> kralle: dnsmasq is not a default installed service
[13:15] <chroot> ActionParsnip,  i check the kernel in /boot directory, am i done right?
[13:15] <chroot> and also, how can i uninstall the old kernel
[13:15] <kralle> yes i know  ActionParsnip
[13:15] <kralle> but i need it .. so can i tell somehow to use both
[13:16] <kralle> this hotspot feature and dnsmasq
[13:16] <reisio> kralle: maybe check dpkg -L dnsmasq for a config file?
[13:17] <kralle> i did
[13:17] <kralle> but no port config
[13:17] <kralle> avalibale
[13:17] <kralle> or it there a alternative hotspot software ?
[13:17] <LjL> kralle: well you wouldn't want to change dnsmasq's port anyway
[13:17] <LjL> kralle: yes there is chillispot
[13:18] <kralle> is it in the software center ?
[13:18] <chroot> help, i want to back up me system, what directory should i back up?
[13:18] <LjL> kralle: well i'm not sure how to help you, because on this machine i don't have a wifi card so i cannot even try the hotspot things, and other machines have too old versions of Ubuntu to have the hotspot feature...
[13:21] <FatPig_> #channel ozmdota2
[13:21] <FatPig_> sorry, wrong command
[13:23] <sauevaem> need help with mkv files
[13:24] <scarleo> chroot, mainly your /home but it depends on what you need
[13:24] <bazhang> sauevaem, convert them?
[13:25] <chroot> scarleo,  i use tar to backup, is it the best choice?
[13:25] <sauevaem> well bazhang there's fine idea but I would like them to work
[13:25] <sauevaem> that's*
[13:25] <bazhang> sauevaem, what do you mean? mplayer can play them fine
[13:25] <chroot> and it takes a lot of time
[13:25] <scarleo> chroot, personally I use DejaDup that comes with ubuntu default
[13:26] <chroot> oh, that is a graphical tool
[13:26] <scarleo> chroot, well the time will depend on how much you are backing up :)
[13:26] <chroot> scarleo,  i know that tool, and it will work with ubuntu one
[13:26] <chroot> ubuntu cloud
[13:27] <scarleo> chroot, DejaDup will be faster next time since it will only look for changes, plus you get the "Resture File" functionality
[13:27] <scarleo> Restore*
[13:27] <chroot> wait wait, i got questions, are you backup your file into ubuntu cloud?
[13:28] <chroot> if not, where are you backup your file s?
[13:29] <chroot> and are you only backup your home directory?
[13:29] <scarleo> chroot, you can choose where to put them, also in U1 folder, my files are on my server. It's good to have them on another HD so if you got an exter HD that could be an option
[13:29] <yitz_> .wc
[13:30] <sauevaem> I use vlc and totem, vlc plays sound fine but screen is all green, totem returns an error: cound not find gstreams caps mapping for ffmpeg codec 'h264', and you are using and external libavcodec.
[13:30] <reisio> sauevaem: are you actually using ffmpeg, or libav?
[13:31] <chroot> and scarleo , are you backup all the files in your system?
[13:32] <chroot> my system is very slow now, i can't fix it, so i want to reinstall a new system,  but i think it is not good to fix problems with reinstall!
[13:33] <fidel> chroot: then fix it ;)
[13:33] <scarleo> chroot, I backup my entire /home (almost, I skip some game folders I don't care about)
[13:34] <sauevaem> ffmpeg I guess
[13:34] <krazed> It's a little sad that Ubuntu is compatible with my school's network but there's a sign that says "currently having trouble with windows 7 machines."...
[13:34] <chroot> fidel,  i want and with top util , it reads that the file  manager is the probem?
[13:35] <reisio> sauevaem: ffmpeg -version ?
[13:35] <sauevaem> I'm reading this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863030 but no one there really explained what to do
[13:35] <chroot> scarleo, and you didnt' backup your / directory?  if there is something wrong, we can use backup to restore our system?
[13:35] <chroot> am i right?
[13:36] <sauevaem> ffmpeg version 0.7.3-4:0.7.3-0ubuntu0.11.10.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the Libav developers
[13:37] <scarleo> chroot, no I don't backup entire /. Have you done a lot of changes to program settings? If you have just backup /etc also, otherwise you won't need that either
[13:39] <chroot> yes, scarleo , i think you are right, if there is something wrong, it always in /etc

[14:09] <iwantu2brich> Hi
[14:09] <iwantu2brich> anyone know how to properly run mineshafter.jar?
[14:09] <ecthiender> no
[14:12] <Chotaz_> How do you defragmentations on Ubuntu? Also, can I do them while the disks are being used?
[14:12] <LjL> Chotaz_: short answer: you can't do it with ext4. but the next Ubuntu version is supposed to have a defrag tool for it (no promises).
[14:12] <iceroot> Chotaz_: not needed
[14:13] <iceroot> iwantu2brich: java -jar mineshafter.jar
[14:13] <iwantu2brich> yes iceroot but it not works
[14:13] <iceroot> kralle: to what?
[14:13] <Chotaz_> iceroot: I have an external HDD that is literally dieing, WAY TOO slow transfer rates for this disk, ive changed the sata2usb interface inside the casing, didnt affect a thing
[14:13] <iceroot> !work | iwantu2brich
[14:13] <iwantu2brich> maybe its problem in executable
[14:14] <iceroot> Chotaz_: usb is the problem, not fragmentation
[14:14] <iceroot> Chotaz_: usb will use the cpu full
[14:14] <Chotaz_> iceroot: still there's a transfer rate that is too slow for what this disk used to do
[14:14] <iceroot> Chotaz_: usb is the problem, not the disk
[14:15] <iceroot> Chotaz_: look at "top" and specially the %wa value
[14:15] <iceroot> Chotaz_: if that is high your cpu/usb is the problem
[14:15] <iwantu2brich> u@debian:~$ java -jar /home/h/gostek/ffsciagane/Mineshafter-

[14:17] <kralle> i just whant to forward 1 domain name in ubuntu
[14:17] <kralle> how i can do it ?
[14:17] <iceroot> kralle: i dont get what you really want
[14:18] <kralle> ex if i go to domain1.xx i whant he go to domain2.xx
[14:18] <iceroot> kralle: you have a machine and want a domain e.g. foobar.com to point to your ubuntu machine?
[14:18] <Slart> kralle: forwarding a domain name to a certain computer is something you'll have to do from the people that handle the domain.. it's not something you do locally on your computer
[14:18] <kralle> is local only
[14:18] <kralle> not more
[14:18] <iceroot> kralle: put that in /etc/hosts
[14:19] <kralle> i set up dnsmasq but then i cant use hotspot anymore
[14:19] <Slart> kralle: ahh.. I misunderstood then.. sorry
[14:19] <kralle> any solution
[14:19] <iceroot> shoudl also work with  foobar.com foobar2.com
[14:19] <noneio> anyone know why i am getting this: http://i42.tinypic.com/358cv1k.png ?
[14:19] <kralle> how iceroot
[14:19] <kralle> you have a example
[14:19] <kralle> ?
[14:19] <FloodBot1> kralle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:19] <iceroot> kralle: fobar.com foobar2.com  thats all
[14:19] <iceroot> kralle: then foobar.com will always redirect on foobar2.com
[14:19] <iceroot> kralle: na dno dns server is asked
[14:19] <Chotaz_> iceroot: let me just ssh in and figure what the X is before executing that command
[14:20] <Oer> noneio, line 14 >>. quit > quite ? ( not stop, but silent)
[14:20] <noneio> Oer, huh?
[14:20] <noneio> OH
[14:20] <ubuntu> hoe ru
[14:20] <noneio> i see. thank you
[14:21] <noneio> going to restart and try out.
[14:21] <ubuntu> hello
[14:21] <Oer> noneio, oke
[14:22] <Chotaz_> iceroot:   Timing buffered disk reads:   4 MB in  5.99 seconds = 684.31 kB/sec
[14:22] <iceroot> Chotaz_: usb1.1 instead of usb2.0?
[14:22] <Chotaz_> iceroot: thanks, I feel sh!tdumb now...
[14:22] <iceroot> Chotaz_: :)
[14:23] <iceroot> Chotaz_: as i said, it has nothing to do with fragmentation
[14:23] <Chotaz_> iceroot: when i first started looking into the subject
[14:23] <Chotaz_> came to my reading that long term fragmentation may cause slow downs
[14:23] <Chotaz_> thats why I threw that in
[14:23] <kralle> iceroot you have a example please
[14:23] <iceroot> kralle: i posted you an example twice
[14:23] <iceroot> kralle: foobar.com foobar2.com
[14:24] <iceroot> Chotaz_: fragmentation is only a problem in the windows-world not on ext-drives
[14:24] <kralle> i mean how to post it exactly to the hosts file
[14:24] <kralle> :/
[14:24] <hallino1> Hey what's elise mean?
[14:24] <iceroot> kralle: you have a gui?
[14:24] <Chotaz_> iceroot: ew winblows, thanks for the time and sharing the knowledge :)
[14:24] <kralle> yes also
[14:24] <iceroot> Chotaz_: you are welcome
[14:24] <kralle> but i can use terminal
[14:25] <elune> Can anyone tell me how to setup a proxy in my pc easily for  a friend to use.
[14:25] <iceroot> kralle: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
[14:25] <Slart> Chotaz_: fragmentation might be a problem if you've got a full drive you keep writing/deleting stuff to.. if you keep 20% free or so you won't have any problems with it
[14:25] <kralle> i am in  the file
[14:25] <krazed> I figured out the problem with nVidia Optimus support and linux, if anyone's interested in reading my solution feel free! :-) http://kraz3d.wordpress.com/
[14:25] <kralle> but how to set it up right way :)
[14:25] <iceroot> kralle: just put the line "foobar.com foobar2.com" on it
[14:25] <elune> mm.
[14:25] <iceroot> kralle: and of course replace the names
[14:25] <Slart> Chotaz_: there are tools that can tell you if things are badly fragmented but no tools to fix it.. except moving files back and forth (or moving files between drives to free up space
[14:26] <kralle> then restart network fightn?
[14:26] <iceroot> elune: you want to share internet connection?
[14:26] <kralle> right
[14:26] <elune> basically . yes.
[14:26] <iceroot> kralle: no need to restart anything
[14:26] <iceroot> !ics | elune
[14:26] <kralle> iceroot can i pm you please
[14:26] <elune> not in the network
[14:26] <elune> I mean a proxy
[14:26] <iceroot> kralle: lets use this chat
[14:26] <elune> from another country
[14:27] <krazed> Is there a way for me to check out the history of my terminal and the output responses it gave me?
[14:27] <kralle> basicly i whant this : domain.example -> 192.168.1.1
[14:27] <iceroot> krazed: you want all your used commands and there outout?
[14:27] <kralle> so if i type domain.expamle thst it goes to this ip 192.168.1.1
[14:27] <krazed> iceroot, yeah :)
[14:27] <iceroot> kralle: then do it
[14:27] <kralle> i did
[14:27] <kralle> but it dont work
[14:27] <iceroot> krazed: not possible by default
[14:28] <iceroot> kralle: save the file
[14:28] <elune> I was wondering of an easy too to run
[14:28] <kralle> i do like this line : domain.xx 192.268.1.1
[14:28] <kralle> i did lol
[14:28] <kralle> sudo pico hosts
[14:28] <kralle> then save
[14:28] <kralle> but still not work
[14:28] <iceroot> kralle: output of "ping -c 4 domain.xx"?
[14:28] <iceroot> kralle: /etc/hosts
[14:29] <kralle> it gives me the domain ip
[14:29] <kralle> but not the ip i whant

[14:31] <iceroot> kralle: 192.168.1.1 bildungsfernsehen
[14:31] <iceroot> kralle: of course replace "bildungsfernsehen" with rtl.de
[14:31] <kralle> lol :p
[14:31] <kasii> iwantu2brich, isnt debian matter discussing here
[14:32] <kralle> iceroot same :(

[14:32] <iceroot> kralle: "ping -c 4 rtl.de"
[14:32] <kralle> i get the local host ip
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: so its working
[14:33] <kralle> but the explorer give me still the wrong one
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: restart the browser
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: maybe its still cached there
[14:33] <kralle> i did iceroot
[14:33] <kralle> :/
[14:33] <iceroot> kralle: ctrl + f5 in the browser
[14:33] <jnsl> anyone know how to change the damn activites button in gnome 3.2 into an ubuntu icon ?
[14:33] <kralle> yes iceroot i did :)
[14:34] <kralle> but still same :p
[14:34] <iceroot> kralle: firefox?
[14:34] <kralle> yes
[14:34] <Meaw> hi , wireless is not scanning networks anymore.. i thought its a hardware problem but it works fine in windows.. any suggestions?
[14:34] <iceroot> kralle: rtl.de not www.rtl.de?
[14:34] <Manny> hello :)
[14:34] <arkiver> I am having trouble creating an ad-hoc wifi hotspot after upgrading to 11.10 and using GNOME3. What is the problem? is it a bug ?
[14:34] <arkiver> can anyone help  ?
[14:34] <Meaw> last thing i did was " pppoeconfig " but everything seem to be fine in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:34] <kralle> yes
[14:34] <ubukou> hey folks!where did unity hide all the options ? just installed it and i gotta say its a lot more minimal than i expected! :P
[14:35] <kralle> not www
[14:35] <kralle> iceroot not wew
[14:35] <kralle> only rtl
[14:35] <Meaw> ew, looks like im lagged
[14:35] <krazed> So, I just downloaded the driver for the GT540M video card, now I've got a file 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.07.run'... how do I execute this file?
[14:35] <iceroot> kralle: seems like firefox is still caching the dns record, dont know how to tell firefox to reread it
[14:35] <Manny> I wonder whether ubuntu offers any way to install custom kernel modules in a separate location, but have it picked up by. For example, some packages install into /lib/modules/XXX/updates/dkms. Can I also install into a similar location, like /lib/modules/XXX/updates/user?
[14:35] <iceroot> kralle: you did not set qa proxy for firefox?
[14:36] <kralle> no
[14:36] <iceroot> kralle: because if you have a proxy firefox will not ask your /etc/hosts but the proxy
[14:36] <kralle> iceroot i would like to use dnsmasq but then i can not start the built in hotspot in ubuntu
[14:37] <Manny> oh wait...actually the package I am looking for seems to be available as dkms package xD
[14:37] <Meaw> Any idea why wireless is not scanning networks? it was working fine yesterday night
[14:37] <krazed> How can I exit the X interface completely and get to a terminal interface?
[14:37] <kralle> iceroot about dnsmasq
[14:38] <WLU> wireless network manager in gnome applet no longer has deactivate wireless capabilities. I have a wired line sometimes and I want to deactivate wireless when the wired connection is on
[14:38] <patrick__> hi all
[14:38] <kralle> if i whant it i can not use the built in hotspot
[14:38] <kralle> in ubuntu
[14:38] <Meaw> ^^
[14:39] <patrick__> my dad and i are new to unbuntu  is there ant good antivirus good for it
[14:39] <rodhash> Guys ..
[14:39] <rodhash> I've just made some upgrades (aptitude upgrade), is that possible to restart / recycle the processes to avoid a reboot ???
[14:39] <patrick__> any sorry typo
[14:39] <anonymous666> hi
[14:39] <patrick__> hey anonymous666
[14:39] <oCean> !av | patrick__
[14:39] <anonymous666> ubuntu or debian 6? what is your opinion?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> rodhash: sudo apt-get -f install    maybe
[14:39] <oCean> anonymous666: don't use this channel for polls, thank you
[14:40] <anonymous666> ok
[14:40] <anonymous666> sorry
[14:40] <patrick__> thank you
[14:40] <Meaw> guys, wireless is not working on ubuntu desktop it was working fine last night
[14:40] <rodhash> ActionParsnip, I've tried and there's nothing wrong... my point is, there's a request to reboot in the bottom panel.... can I recycle the ubuntu processes and avoid a system restart ??
[14:40] <anonymous666> can i to make a question?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> rodhash: you basically have installed a new kernel and need a reboot to start in the new kernel. It's not necessary
[14:41] <andymc73test> \quit
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> anonymous666: shoot
[14:41] <Meaw> am i ignored or lagged or whatever
[14:42] <rodhash> ActionParsnip, Yes, there's a new kernel in the updates... but I'm already using version 3.0.4... So can I just ignore that reboot request ??
[14:42] <anonymous666> my mum have a lot of many, i have a pc (not laptop) 8 years, is very very very bad, and my mum say that while the pc is ok, she dont buy a new pc, how can i crash the pc but my mum thinks that the pc crash because the pc is very old?
[14:42] <kralle> iceroot , i use he machine as hotspot so i access it from a  different pc using wifi , but it not works
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: ah
[14:43] <anonymous666> money*
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> rodhash: absolutely, its not essential. When you next boot, the newer kernel will boot
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: you have to change the /etc/hosts in the client
[14:43] <kralle> can you helo me about this :)
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: of course not on the "server"
[14:43] <oCean> anonymous666: this channel is for ubuntu tech support questions only
[14:43] <rodhash> ActionParsnip, thank you!
[14:43] <kralle> so how i can set this up iceroot :)
[14:43] <anonymous666> what is the channel for it?
[14:43] <iceroot> kralle: on the server?
[14:43] <kralle> this is why i would use dnsmasq but then the hotsport not start
[14:44] <iceroot> kralle: i would thing you have to put up a own dns server and patch that entry
[14:44] <Meaw> hi
[14:44] <kralle> i use the ubuntu as hotspot , but if i start dnsmaqs it says port 53 is busy
[14:44] <kralle> if i stop the hotspot it starts
[14:44] <iceroot> kralle: because another dns is already running
[14:45] <kralle> yes so this is what i ask how to change it
[14:45] <iceroot> kralle: stop the other dns
[14:45] <loganrun> the menu's on adobe reader just show grey for some reason
[14:45] <kralle> without using a new dns serer
[14:45] <iceroot> kralle: if i am correct its called bind9
[14:45] <kralle> but then the hotspot stops
[14:45] <loganrun> does anyone else have this issue
[14:45] <cannonball> When I start a terminal (gnome-terminal or terminator), it appears in the middle of the screen.  If I start another one, it appears in the top left corner.  A third one and it appears in the top left corner over the second one.  A fourth one is over the third one.  Etc.
[14:45] <kralle> or can i set this up in the built in hotspot in ubuntu
[14:45] <kralle> to forward this
[14:45] <cannonball> Is there any way to tell it to appear in the part of the screen that's open?
[14:45] <kralle> .
[14:46] <Meaw> GUYS, my wireless is not scanning, it was working fine yesterday, and last thing i did in network i setup pppoeconfig... but wireless is not working now any suggestions?
[14:46] <cannonball> It used to do that in the past, but I can't find the correct config or setting to tweak in order to get that behavior back.  Running Unbuntu Classic Gnome desktop.
[14:47] <patrick__> how do i look for channels to talk in
[14:47] <loganrun> does anyone else have this issue, the menus in adobe reader are blank, it is as if the words in them are the same color as the menu's and therefore invisable
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Meaw: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you find APs?
[14:47] <oCean> !alis | patrick__
[14:47] <loganrun> patrick__, one or two dice
[14:47] <myndzi> i'm getting 'could not calculate the upgrade' trying to go from 11.10 to 12.04. it's a fairly stock install, just did it a couple days ago. any idea if there's a simple workaround?
[14:47] <jiltdil> Best mp3 player in ubuntu that gives sound quality?
[14:47] <patrick__> !alis
[14:48] <Meaw> ActionParsnip, actually that was giving me some error, and in network management it says my wireless Inactive
[14:48] <cannonball> Meaw: Make sure that you didn't turn off your wireless hardware with the physical switch that's on your laptop.  It can happen on accident occassionally.
[14:48] <patrick__> !alis
[14:48] <Meaw> cannonball, no , its ON i got that in syslogs...
[14:48] <Meaw> last thing i did in network was setting up pppoeconfig
[14:48] <cannonball> Meaw: Do the sudo command that ActionParsnip posted.
[14:48] <Meaw> I also checked /etc/network/interfaces everything seem to be fine
[14:48] <loganrun> does anyone else have an issue with the menu's in adobe reader?
[14:49] <Meaw> cannonball, ok i must reboot to switch to ubuntu any other idea i must try before i get back on windows to ask?
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Meaw: did you specify the wireless address in /etc/network/interfaces file?
[14:49] <mman> does anybody know a gui maker for php? something like qt? I tried to install php-qt but i was not successful
[14:49] <cannonball> That's also another proof that your wireless is not turned off if it works in Windows :-)
[14:50] <patrick__> im so use to windows irc
[14:50] <Meaw> ActionParsnip, nop.. there is ifup wlan0 line by default
[14:50] <Meaw> i did not touch it
[14:50] <ubukou> how do i get the system tray again in ubuntu unity ?
[14:50] <qci133> quit
[14:50] <cannonball> Meaw: Chances are that you are using Network Manager, so you'll want to adjust things in there to make sure that it's working.
[14:50] <loganrun> is there a way to change the colors of the theme in ubuntu
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> Meaw: my file doesn't have a wlan up, only the defs for lo
[14:51] <loganrun> tried system settings | appearance but it looks like that is just the background
[14:51] <cannonball> patrick__: Which irc client are you using?
[14:51] <Meaw> ActionParsnip, im on ubuntu desktop fresh system, i guess that line came by default
[14:51] <theadmin> ubukou: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
[14:51] <slipttees> hu all
[14:51] <Meaw> or maybe after i setup the pppoeconfig, i dunoo.. but i have been using wireless the last week fine

[14:52] <Meaw> ActionParsnip, incase the device was disabled or something how do i enable it?
[14:52] <xorred> what's the best way to check which user is apache running under?
[14:52] <xorred> ps aux | grep apache is giving me a hell of an output
[14:53] <patrick__> is xchat better
[14:53] <cannonball> xorred: Try this:    ps aux | head -n 1; ps aux | grep a[p]ache
[14:53] <cannonball> xorred: The output of that should make a little more sense to you, and answer your question at the same time.

[14:58] <gribouille> hi
[14:58] <gribouille> I have just lebelled a file system with e2label. what is the command to make it appear in /media?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: if you like the old gnome2 feel, install xfce4 and use that session, it feels and smells the same
[14:59] <slipttees> e2fsck /dev/sda3 =>  Could this be a zero-length partition. please help :(
[14:59] <slipttees> i cant mount this partition.
[14:59] <theadmin> gribouille: sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/your_label /media/whatever
[14:59] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, theadmin god, i hoped i wasnt the only one that found it conterprodactive .. i do ages changing windows...
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: the whole "i hate unity" has been going since Natty, you aren't alone
[15:00] <mdiazc> hi, i have ubuntu 11.10, how can I uninstall skype ?
[15:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, gnome2 no longer existis ? i looked for it while i was logging in...
[15:00] <Lint> ubukou, gnome2 was taken to the woods and shot
[15:00] <gribouille> theadmin, I want /media/whatever to me created automatically
[15:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, i kinda looked forward to it... damn...
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: its not developed upstream, there are forks but they aren't supported here
[15:00] <obounaim> i have noticed that when i'm using ubuntu 10.04.3 on my sony vaio laptop my battery goes done faster than when i'm using windows is this a bug?
[15:01] <gribouille> theadmin, I want /media/whatever to be created automatically
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: is it an internal partition?
[15:01] <iceroot> obounaim: yes
[15:01] <mdiazc> hi, i have ubuntu 11.10, and have disk errors related to /tmp... also is not recognising external drive and pendrive

[15:01] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, isnt there a gnome3?
[15:01] <gribouille> ActionParsnip, what do you mean?
[15:01] <theadmin> ubukou: gnome3 looks even worse in Unity
[15:02] <gribouille> ActionParsnip, it is a partion on a hd
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: yes, Unity is a shell for gnome3
[15:02] <theadmin> s/in/than/
[15:02] <obounaim> iceroot: should i report a but?
[15:02] <iceroot> obounaim: already reported
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: then add an entry in /etc/fstab   and it will mount at boot
[15:02] <ubukou> theadmin, ActionParsnip is it too late to go back to 9.10 ? hahha
[15:02] <loganrun> does anyone know how to delete an item from the shortcuts ?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: if the partition is on a drive inside your system, it's an internal partition
[15:02] <Eduard> Hello everyone
[15:02] <theadmin> ubukou: Yes it is, it's no longer supported. Try Xubuntu, it feels the same as gnome2 really
[15:03] <obounaim> iceroot: where can i find the bur report?
[15:03] <mdiazc> hi, i have ubuntu 11.10, unable to mount external drives
[15:03] <Eduard> Maybe someone can help me out to sort out this issue: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/bad8.php
[15:03] <obounaim> iceroot: is it related to the kernel ?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: you can, there are just zero updates for it and no support here ;)
[15:03] <gribouille> ActionParsnip, but ubuntu mounts automatically in /media the partitions, using the label name or the uuid
[15:03] <Eduard> X is eating <50% while pc is idle
[15:03] <iceroot> obounaim: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131
[15:03] <ubukou> theadmin, i ll give it a go... any other gui you suggest i try?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> gribouille: sure but only when you click it, you can have it mounted at boot if you want
[15:04] <iceroot> obounaim: seems to be fixed for all releases
[15:04] <theadmin> ubukou: Meh, not for you in any case, others feel very limited. I personally don't mind, but.
[15:04] <ubukou> theadmin, ok ok i ll browse the net for them ... thanks both of you ActionParsnip
[15:05] <Eduard> any 1, any ideas???

[15:08] <Eduard> Lineage2: you need to find server that accepts clients with killed gameguard
[15:08] <theadmin> Lineage2: You want wine, and that's not supported here
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> wine is supported here
[15:09] <mneptok> for certain definitions of "supported"
[15:09] <Eduard> problem is: he needs to kill gameguard in his client, which is kind off illegal
[15:09] <mneptok> WINE itself is supported. apps running under the framework ... not so much.
[15:09] <Lineage2> not yet there, i cant even run lineage 2 properly
[15:09] <afd> anyone know why I can't upgrade chromium browser to the daily build?

[15:10] <izinucs> afd: you sure you're not using the chrome daily build?  there's a difference between chromium and chrome.
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> quiescens: exactly :)
[15:10] <theadmin> Lineage2: Go to #winehq, we don't support any kind of windows binaries here.
[15:11] <Lineage2> no one is responding there
[15:11] <Lineage2> and
[15:11] <Lineage2> Im ubuntu user
[15:11] <afd> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/cNwfAZKS
[15:11] <theadmin> Lineage2: Doesn't matter -_- We don't support Windows apps here.
[15:11] <Lineage2> help should be here
[15:11] <afd> izinucs: I'm definitely using chromium not chrome
[15:11] <elijah> Does anyone know if you can specify more than one hostname in the SSH config file on the same line? I have a canonical name specified in my hosts file and want it to search for a certain key based on either the C name or IP.
[15:12] <Eduard> Lineage2: man, u want to play? Kill the friggin gameguard inside your game client. GG not killed = no game
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> afd: the version difference is microscopic, you have the daily as far as I can see... when the version number excels the one in the repo, it will install
[15:12] <Eduard> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/fx60rtTL
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> Eduard: is it ok if you uninstall the proprietary driver?
[15:13] <damo22> is there any way around the authentication for vnc in ubuntu if i know the password? the client vnc is hanging there waiting for the server side to click Allow
[15:13] <Lineage2> thks for answer I'll try
[15:14] <afd> ActionParsnip: I can't install adblockplus with this version. I have installed it fine on ubuntu with natty but I am running maverick and can't upgrade as it breaks things
[15:14] <Lineage2> but dont know how
[15:14] <Eduard> ActionParsnip: don't care, it was installed through ubuntu repos, can always reinstall
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Eduard: its worth exploring
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> afd: maverick will be EOL in April so I'd look at upgrading soon

[15:15] <afd> ActionParsnip: I'm waiting on the new ubuntu based elementaryOS that is based on 12.04 and will switch then
[15:16] <Eduard> ActionParnship: what will activate after reinstall? nouveau?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> afd: ElementaryOS won't be supported here
[15:16] <Eduard> i guess i should tweak my xorg.conf because in there i've manually set everything to nvidia
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Eduard: yes nouveau will load
[15:16] <afd> ActionParsnip: I understand that
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> afd: cool

[15:25] <mdiazc> I have Ubuntu 11.10... its been a few days that is giving somw errors  when starting the computer, related to disk and tmp. And now when using the computer it has werid things lile it doesnt mount external drives, or with skype for example... (how can I uninstall Skype?)
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> mdiazc: use software centre or run:  sudo apt-get --purge remove skype
[15:26] <Eduard> ActionParnship: we'll atleast graphics do work, but uhm, how do i edit the boot record
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Eduard: in what way?
[15:26] <e01> hello
[15:27] <e01> how can i make my unity launcher show windows list like in this screenshot https://launchpadlibrarian.net/90787502/window-list.png
[15:27] <raj> if I add a user, how do I allow them to sudo?
[15:27] <Eduard> ActionParnship: there was /etc/boot.lst or smth similar, need to add nomodeset to kernel boot parameter list
[15:27] <Eduard> because my mouse cursor refuses to show up
[15:27] <theadmin> raj: Add them to the admin group (sudo usermod -aG admin username)
[15:27] <Eduard> it's invisible
[15:27] <urlin2u> raj, in th users where yo add users there is an admin option .
[15:27] <urlin2u> the
[15:28] <mdiazc> ActionParsnip: i cant even open that
[15:28] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: it looks like apt-get has a direct purge option (apt-get purge foo) now, i seem to remember like you requiring the remove and --purge, doesn't seem required anymore
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: gotcha, habit I guess
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> mdiazc: press CTRL+ALT+T   and you can run the command
[15:29] <raj> urlin2u, debian is different?
[15:29] <raj> in debian I just add them to the sudo group
[15:29] <urlin2u> raj, this is ubuntu support if your using debian your on the wrong channel.
[15:30] <zykotick9> raj: debian uses sudo, ubuntu uses admin
[15:30] <raj> ah ok
[15:30] <urlin2u> raj, there is visudo if that is what yiou mean.
[15:30] <urlin2u> you
[15:30] <raj> what's the difference btwn visudo and admin?
[15:30] <raj> i don't have X btw
[15:30] <mdiazc> ActionParsnip: ok, i have a terminal window open, what do I have to write
[15:30] <zykotick9> raj: visudo is a command, not a group
[15:30] <urlin2u> !visudo
[15:30] <theadmin> raj: Just add the users to the admin group -_-

[15:32] <urlin2u> Klej, we don't do things that way generally you may not get help
[15:32] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: debian uses sudo, ubuntu uses admin

[15:33] <patrunjel> I goofed around a little with tune2fs, and now dumpe2fs outputs normally, but when it finishes outputting all the regular information, it goes crazy and start outputing what I think are inode groups. What can I do to stop that? (the filesystem runs as usual)
[15:33] <ARTSIOM> is there a way to tell gzip to use some temp filename file gziping?
[15:33] <ARTSIOM> *while gziping
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: oh definately, but it is a group ;)
[15:35] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: pretty sure that just a hangover of some sort from upstream, don't think it does much (if anything) by default on ubuntu
[15:36]  * mneptok whispers "definitely"
[15:36] <dr34mc0d3r> is there a way to pass a message to another SSH loged in users console?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> dr34mc0d3r: you can use wall
[15:37] <mneptok> dr34mc0d3r: "write"
[15:37] <dr34mc0d3r> ActionParsnip - thanks - ill look it up.
[15:37] <CharminTheMoose> Is there any limit to the number of /dev/loopN devices I can have?

[15:38] <raj> is that normal?
[15:38] <mneptok> raj: you're using Debian, yes?
[15:38] <theadmin> raj: You're not running Ubuntu, get out
[15:38] <raj> ubuntu
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> raj: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[15:38] <raj> 11.10
[15:38] <mneptok> theadmin: please watch your attitude.
[15:38] <zykotick9> CharminTheMoose: yes, there is a limit.  I read about someone hitting that limit on debian's mailing list a few weeks ago.  There was a solution as well, sorry i have no idea what it is.
[15:38] <raj> oneiric
[15:38] <theadmin> mneptok: Um, sorry.
[15:38] <raj> ActionParsnip, ^^
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> raj: ubuntu has an admin group, or you cannot do ANY admin tasks
[15:38] <mneptok> raj: please pastebin the output of "uname -a && lsb_release -a"
[15:39] <raj> i'm logged in as root
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> raj: you either deleted it or you are not using Ubuntu
[15:39] <theadmin> raj: Ubuntu doesn't allow using root account by default.
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> raj: logging in as root is not advised or needed
[15:39] <CharminTheMoose> Thanks for the tip zykotick9
[15:39] <raj> i'm on my webserver
[15:39] <raj> it's how you first log in
[15:40] <urlin2u> raj, http://imagebin.org/197104
[15:40] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: theadmin it seems some of the VPSs offering Ubuntu enable the root account :|
[15:40] <raj> mneptok, http://paste.ofcode.org/r7UtGSP8ry79Gj5C2eFY27
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> raj: its not needed. Ubuntu uses sudo for everything admin based
[15:40] <surskitty> I noticed my swap partition didn't seem to be used ever and this box keeps freezing, so I tried disabling & reenabling it and http://paste.ubuntu.com/827720/
[15:40] <raj> i'm on ubuntu server, btw
[15:40] <theadmin> urlin2u: What's that cute font in window titles?
[15:41] <raj> ActionParsnip, what's not needed?
[15:41] <urlin2u> theadmin, purisa
[15:41] <theadmin> urlin2u: Thanks
[15:41] <urlin2u> theadmin, I like it. lol. :)
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> raj: ubuntu uses sudo, which is what the admin group gives
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> raj: you are also using a 3rd party kernel, which also isn't supported here
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> http://www.linode.com/kernels/
[15:42] <gulzar> Please have a look at this http://www.pcurtis.com/ubuntu-music.htm see section "Setting up the sound system for audacity" It is showing a GUI. which is that app? and here also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alsa_v1.0.14_ubuntu7.1_en.png . Which is this GUI? Name please. And a link will be good.
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> look familiar...?
[15:42] <mneptok> raj: the most recent released kernel on 11.10 is 3.0-15 and you're running 3.0-18
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic
[15:42] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Yeah, it's likely a linode VPS...
[15:42] <dr34mc0d3r> can i use wall to pass a msg to a specific user?
[15:42] <theadmin> I dunno if we support those
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: its not the official kernel for the release, so no
[15:43] <urlin2u> raj, I guess if you have no desktop my image was no help, it is the unity desktop, 11.10
[15:43] <mneptok> raj: contact Linode support for help with your issues. what you are running is so far out of Ubuntu spec that we cannot reliably provide support for it.
[15:43] <theadmin> dr34mc0d3r: No, try: talk USERNAME MESSAGE
[15:43] <theadmin> err

[15:43] <compdoc> raj, its best not to update parts of ubuntu on your own. Leave it the way it comes, and how its updated. Unless you have a specific reason, you'll break things
[15:44] <raj> i'm not updating
[15:44] <fasgas> how i can stop startx session to install nvidia driver?
[15:44] <raj> i just wanna add a user
[15:44] <zykotick9> gulzar: alsamixergui and/or gnome-alsamixer
[15:44] <theadmin> compdoc: (s)he's not using an official Ubuntu release.
[15:44] <theadmin> Therefore we can't support him/her
[15:44] <operatorplik> wath the hell
[15:44] <zykotick9> fasgas: installing the driver direct from nvidia.com is not recommended
[15:45] <fasgas> why zykotick9 ?
[15:45] <wisnia> does anyone knows how to install adobe reader?
[15:45] <urlin2u> raj, you might try ##linux as well they are helpful.
[15:45] <zykotick9> fasgas: every time ubuntu gets a kernel update, you'll have a broken nvidia (requiring reinstall)
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> wisnia: I believe its in the partner repo
[15:45] <auronandace> wisnia: have you tried evince instead?
[15:45] <gulzar> zykotick9: tried... alsamixergui is old app and gnoemalsamixer is basic . It is not with those amny options
[15:45] <zykotick9> fasgas: reinstall of nvidia driver i mean
[15:46] <zykotick9> gulzar: those where old screenshots, program(s) have probably changed
[15:46] <fasgas> zykotick9: but my laptop work better with nvidia .run drive
[15:46] <compdoc> raj, google is full of examples of adding users to any version of linux you can use
[15:46] <gulzar> zykotick9: Ok.. Thank You
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> o/
[15:47] <auronandace> !pm | wisnia
[15:47] <zykotick9> gulzar: gnomealsamixer becoming more basic seems to be the trend for gnome

[15:47] <MonkeyDust> !google| compdoc users come here because they can't find it on google
[15:47] <wisnia> auron:i dont know how to run a program with bin file extension
[15:47] <auronandace> !pdf | wisnia
[15:47] <raj> is there a sudoers file?
[15:48] <compdoc> yes
[15:48] <auronandace> wisnia: what is the name of the file?
[15:48] <wisnia> AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
[15:48] <zykotick9> wisnia: generally, "chmod +x foo.bin" then "./foo.bin"
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> wisnia: chmod +x ./AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin; sudo ./AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin

[15:49] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i print a kindle ebook from ubuntu?
[15:49] <zykotick9> adobereader bah... can i take my suggestion back ;)
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> linux_is_my_hero: do you mean print the book file, or print from the ebook?
[15:50] <linux_is_my_hero> actionparsnip: print the book file
[15:50] <jnsl> Ok so tell me, Spotify or Banshee? :)
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> linux_is_my_hero: calibre may do it, you may be able to print from there

[15:51] <slipttees> e2fsck /dev/sda3 =>  Could this be a zero-length partition. please help :(
[15:51] <slipttees> i cant mount this partition.

[15:51] <doable> hi ! how could i run executable files in linux ??
[15:52] <zykotick9> slipttees: is it really ext2?  try fsck.ext4 or fsck.ext3 instead
[15:52] <slipttees> ext4 zykotick9
[15:52] <auronandace> !wine | doable
[15:52] <slipttees> zykotick9: i have much files.  cant lost
[15:52] <zykotick9> slipttees: looks like e2fsck supports ext4 so ignore my previous suggestion
[15:53] <slipttees> zykotick9: i'm run e2fsck and return: Could this be a zero-length partition
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: may need to crack out the backups :)
[15:53] <doable> ubottu : not exactly .exe, but even a.out compiled on my computer, couldn't be run on another pc (both running on ubuntu)
[15:53] <zykotick9> slipttees: doesn't sound good.  perhaps the output of "sudo fdisk -l" will shed some light?
[15:53] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: ?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: recreate the partition and restore data from backup
[15:54] <slipttees> zykotick9: i can see partition 83 type
[15:54] <MrKeuner> hi, can I safely delete files under /dev/shm?
[15:54] <MrKeuner> rkhunter complains about them
[15:54] <theadmin> doable: Are they marked executable?
[15:55] <doable> i've tried chomod 777 a.out
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> doable: then run ./a.out    with your terminal in the same folder as the file..
[15:55] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: im lost :(
[15:56] <kalimojo> i dont have the system menu . 11.10 with gnome.
[15:56] <doable> yeah...i did, but its not running
[15:56] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: fsck.ext4 won't work too
[15:56] <doable> while compiling the same .c file on that pc was running properly.
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: its simple, the data is gone but if its important you will have made backups on some removable storage. Format the partition to a stable state then put the data back on
[15:56] <zykotick9> doable: are both machines the same architecture?  x86 or amd64?  or a mix?
[15:57] <artao> hai .. again
[15:57] <LemonAid> Hello. I have multiple interconnected monitors (11.10). How can i set the individual refresh rate?

[15:57] <urlin2u> !ask > artao
[15:57] <doable> zykotick9: not certain about that
[15:57] <artao> currently at partitioning stage ... i used guided partitioning .. it made my primary linux partition ntfs, but i want ext4, yes?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: so you don't know how to copy files to a USB drive?
[15:58] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i can't mount partition!
[15:58] <satty> inproper behaviour of synaptics
[15:58] <kalimojo> i dont have the system menu . 11.10 with gnome.
[15:58] <urlin2u> artao, yes
[15:58] <zykotick9> doable: binaries aren't exactly the most portable of things.  Well good luck.  FYI to find kernel architecture you can use "uname -m"
[15:58] <urlin2u> satty, ?
[15:59] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: I do not have access to partition
[15:59] <satty> urlin2u, drag and drop is not properly working
[15:59] <doable> thanks for the help ! may be that's the problem...
[15:59] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: no mounts
[15:59] <urlin2u> artao, in synaptic, can you explain?
[15:59] <zykotick9> urlin2u: i'm thinking synaptic touchpad perhaps?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: yes but you did at some point, and you could have easily backed up the data
[15:59] <artao> eh? is the partitioner called synaptic?
[16:00] <urlin2u> artao, ubuntu ont make a ntfs for itself, can you explain more.
[16:00] <urlin2u> wont*
[16:00] <satty> zykotick9, yes you are right
[16:00] <urlin2u> zykotick9, ah that makes sense. :)
[16:00] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: okay, but, i don't have any backup...
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: why not?
[16:01] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: cause not... im jonkey :(
[16:01] <urlin2u> artao, look at the nic of who is being addressed, synaptic is a package manager.
[16:01] <artao> i chose guided partitioning on a drive that WAS all NTFS, chose 60% for install partition, and it looks to me like it made it NTFS. I want that as ext4, and the rest as NTFS - except the swap, yes?
[16:01] <urlin2u> artao, open gparted to see what the partitions are.
[16:01] <sybariten> oh hai
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: you may find success with foremost. I suggest you get a backup. You have learned the value of backup the hardest possible way
[16:02] <zykotick9> artao: ubuntu can install directly onto NTFS, so i highly doubt it created an NTFS partition
[16:02] <Antonis> Hello guys. I want to connect my TI83-Plus with my Ubuntu 11.10 but I am not sure how to do it. Every method/guide I have read is at least 3-4 years old and links are usually not working or libs are not being installed. Does anyone know how to or maybe can point me to the right direction? I want just to transfer some text files to open them on my calculator.. (if possible that is)
[16:02] <artao> i'm in the installer tho
[16:02] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: now, i need get access to partition and back data.
[16:02] <franco> Hi! how can I check if an hard disk has been correctly "zeroed" out by dd ? strings /dev/disk prints nothing... that's it?
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: see above...
[16:02] <patrunjel> I goofed around a little with tune2fs, and now dumpe2fs outputs normally, but when it finishes outputting all the regular information, it goes crazy and start outputing what I think are inode groups. What can I do to stop that? (the filesystem runs as usual)

[16:02] <Barcel0> hi all
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> franco: could try foremost on it, nothing should be recovered
[16:02] <Barcel0> Can anyone help me? I need to configure casper and isolinux, is that I have created a livecd of a custom system, but I need to add an entry to allow entry only to start a system console
[16:02] <urlin2u> Antonis, I think you need to use windows for that calculator.
[16:02] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i see
[16:03] <sybariten> i am trying to run thttpd . In the thttpd.conf, which i point to when starting the server, i have  logfile=/var/log/thttpd.log     now, i think the server is up and running coz i can get to a test page via the IP. However i cant see any logfile like that being created.
[16:03] <sybariten> What should i check?  server is run as www-data
[16:03] <sybariten> i need the log file to see if my document root is badly defined....
[16:03] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: has no way to get access the partition and back up?
[16:04] <urlin2u> Antonis, I have a t84, as I remember it is not linux friendly coverall ould be wrong though
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> (16:02:05) ActionParsnip: slipttees: you may find success with foremost.
[16:04] <urlin2u> could*
[16:04] <izinucs> What's the easiest way to "show desktop" ie minimize all open windows?
[16:04] <Antonis> urlin2u, but people have done it before? I have the same feeling but got hope from different forums I found.. the main problem is that they are outdated :\

[16:04] <izinucs> theadmin: ActionParsnip thanks..
[16:04] <doable> its me again...i'm not able to access a disk partition (100GB), which i assigned as swap space while installing ubuntu
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> franco: you may be able to cat the filesystem, not sure
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> doable: 100Gb swap, wowsers
[16:05] <sw0rdfish> hey ummm, what can I use to make a bootable win7 USB installer
[16:05] <auronandace> doable: 100gb swap space?
[16:05] <urlin2u> Antonis, not that I know of but I know little lol, check the web I doubt you will get an answer here,just a heads up really.
[16:05] <zykotick9> doable: did you really create a 100GB swap?  you can't access a swap partition.
[16:05] <doable> silly! but didn't know much about it
[16:05] <mneptok> doable: are you a Windows user?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> sw0rdfish: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[16:06] <urlin2u> sw0rdfish, you can make a ntfs with a bootflag and extract the iso to it=the usb.
[16:06] <mneptok> doable: swap space = pagefile.sys
[16:06] <doable> i am, but switching to ubuntu
[16:06] <theadmin> doable: swap is kind of addition for RAM, Linux dumps stuff not currently really used from RAM to swap
[16:06] <doable> could I reduce the size of swap space
[16:06] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: humm..... i try... first i need repair partition.. mkfs.ext4...after, use foremost?
[16:06] <zykotick9> doable: generally, swap should be equal to your RAM (but there are many different cases).  If you really created a 100GB swap, I'd urge you to recreate your partitions
[16:06] <Barcel0> Can anyone help me? I need to configure casper and isolinux, is that I have created a livecd of a custom system, but I need to add an entry to allow entry only to start a system console
[16:06] <sw0rdfish> thanks ActionParsnip :)
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: just use foremost on the partition as is
[16:07] <theadmin> Barcel0: Add "text" to the kernel line for that entry
[16:07] <raj> is there an aptitude alternative to sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> sw0rdfish: why could I find that and you couldn't?
[16:07] <urlin2u> Barcel0, Ubunbtu?
[16:07] <urlin2u> ubuntu
[16:07] <doable> zykotick9: that means , i lose all my data?
[16:07] <Barcel0> yes ubuntu
[16:07] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i try live CD.
[16:07] <slipttees> :D
[16:07] <sw0rdfish> i actually didn't know what to searcha ActionParsnip I just searched for unetbootin and read its page and found out it can only create bootable stuff for linux distros
[16:07] <kalimojo> i dont have the system menu . 11.10 with gnome.
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> sw0rdfish: http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ix=sea&ie=UTF-8&ion=1#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=ubuntu%20make%20windows%207%20usb&pbx=1&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&fp=10ab80d8c7b866ba&ix=sea&ion=1&ix=sea&ion=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=10ab80d8c7b866ba&biw=1280&bih=695&ix=sea&ion=1
[16:07] <zykotick9> doable: if you have data to loose, then you could try to resize stuff (but 100GB swap is a HUGE waste of space)
[16:07] <Antonis> urlin2u, I will thank you! =)
[16:08] <bambu85> hi all - my ubuntu 11.10 install isn't showing the grub menu on boot-up by default. How can i make it visible on boot? I'm looking at my /etc/default/grub
[16:08] <Barcel0> theadmin, I've done that did not work
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: hold shift at boot and it will show
[16:08] <raj> ActionParsnip, is there an aptitude alternative to sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded
[16:08] <izinucs> doable: 6 gigs of swap is plenty
[16:08] <artao> ... i sure hope i'm not formatting my primary windows drive
[16:08] <artao> ;)
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> raj: i don't use aptituse
[16:08] <urlin2u> Antonis, no problem if you get it running let me know. :)
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> *aptitude
[16:08] <doable> zykotick9: ok. thanks!
[16:08] <raj> you prefer apt-get?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> raj: never had an issue with it
[16:08] <zykotick9> bambu85: look for hidden options i believe
[16:08] <linskyrate> hi there :)
[16:09] <raj> k
[16:09] <doable> izinucs: i'll try that in next install.
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> raj: I actually use apt-fast
[16:09] <bambu85> ActionParsnip: I've tried holding shift, and it doesn't show.
[16:09] <elijah> How can I specify multiple files with scp?
[16:09] <bambu85> zykotick9: ok will do
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: strange
[16:09] <linskyrate> is there a ready made package for Backtracker 5 to install in Ubuntu 11.10?
[16:10] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:10] <izinucs> doable: you might also consider separating your /home directory to its own partition.  It makes reinstall/upgrades a lot easier and you have less chance of loosing your data.
[16:10] <elijah> I try scp ~/file1 file 2 elijah@hostname.com:~/ and it only copies the first file
[16:10] <bambu85> do I need to change this line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: again, get a backup!!!
[16:10] <Barcel0> theadmin, I had do this:  kernel /casper/vmlinuz  append  boot=casper text initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --
[16:10] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: okay okay homie
[16:10] <slipttees> :D
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: if you want to see grub I believe you need to change: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[16:10] <bambu85> thanks!
[16:10] <theadmin> Barcel0: Well, add "text" to this at the very end
[16:10] <awhitehatter> so my wireless card has decided to stop connecting to networks...I can see them, i try to connect it rejects the password. It's the right password, other devices connect just fine...I tried both Network-Manager and WICD, I get the same result. Any thoughts where to look next? Using BCM4312 card
[16:11] <bambu85> ActionParsnip: so that should be set to true? ok
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: if you want to boot to CLI only then theadmin's advise will sort you
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> bambu85: read and think ;)
[16:11] <pconwell> does a combo cd/dvd drive show up differently in /dev/ depedning on if it's a cd or dvd in the drive?
[16:11] <pconwell> or is it always /dev/sr0 (or whatever(
[16:12] <theadmin> pconwell: Nah it's usually just srN where N is a number from 0 to infinity
[16:12] <bambu85> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[16:12] <urlin2u> awhitehatter, you have seen the broadcom wiki?
[16:12] <zykotick9> raj: regarding your aptitude question, have you seen -s simulate?
[16:12] <Barcel0>  theadmin , so? kernel /casper/vmlinuz  append  boot=casper  initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash  text
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> pconwell: if you put in a DVD then /dev/dvd will be used
[16:12] <pconwell> theadmin: thanks... I'm having issues with ddrescue
[16:13] <raj> zykotick9, no I haven't
[16:13] <theadmin> Barcel0: Something like this, I'm not familiar with syslinux actually
[16:13] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: as opposed to /dev/cdrom?
[16:13] <raj> I'll just use apt-get for now
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> pconwell: if you run:   sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive     you will see the device names
[16:13] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: cool
[16:13] <raj> I usually substitute aptitude for apt-get, and usually works
[16:13] <raj> but in this case it didn't
[16:13] <Barcel0> ok thank! theadmin :)
[16:13] <Barcel0> urlin2u, yes I use ubuntu
[16:14] <urlin2u> Barcel0, cool look like you got help. :D
[16:14] <urlin2u> loos*
[16:14] <linskyrate> ls
[16:15] <awhitehatter> urlin2u, no..I will look for that
[16:15] <airtonix> oh ok
[16:15] <urlin2u> !broadcom > awhitehatter
[16:15] <elijah> Looks like it is scp ~/{file1,file2} elijah@hostname.com:~/
[16:16] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: it shows up as "logical name: /dev/scd0" and the next line says "logical name: /dev/scd0". Is it normal to have two entries like that?
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> pconwell: maybe its a combi drive thing
[16:19] <bw_> Is there a preferred method of disabling services on boot? Create an service.override file or use chkconfig?
[16:20] <theadmin> bw_: err huh? chkconfig is a redhat thing, I have no idea what "service.override" is at all. Just use bum or rcconf
[16:20] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: yes it is, but both seem to work the same (as far as I can tell)...
[16:20] <zo1d> got a general question:  does anyone know if there is an interactive tutorial to learn C/C++ programming for linux?  want to learn so i can start working on learning how to update android kernels to 3.x from 2.6
[16:20] <calmpitbull> How to record desktop in HD, ubuntu 11.10
[16:20] <auronandace> zo1d: that isn't a ubuntu support question
[16:21] <raj> what's 127.0.1.1 ?
[16:21] <zwoxyz> 1ip
[16:21] <kpas_> loop address
[16:21] <raj> in /etc/hosts
[16:21] <kpas_> in hosts file under etc
[16:21] <raj> it's listed for 'ubuntu'
[16:21] <bw_> theadmin: You can DL chkconfig from the repo. And the service.override is an upstart feature. All you do is place a file with manual in it /etc/init/ssh.override
[16:22] <mneptok> raj: the common loopback address for localhost
[16:22] <theadmin> bw_: Oh, I see, sorry, I wasn't aware.
[16:22] <raj> what does the loopback do?
[16:22] <zwoxyz> hello
[16:22] <mneptok> raj: it's how the machine talks to itself using TCP/IP, UDP or other network protocols
[16:22] <raj> also, some entries have two columns, some have 3, that's okay?
[16:22] <zwoxyz> What's the backtrack irc?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> raj: loopback IP
[16:22] <ekaleido> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=loopback+address
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> raj: its how systems talk to services running on the same system
[16:23] <zwoxyz> backtrack linux irc channel?
[16:23] <mneptok> ekaleido: lmgtfy URLs are most unwelcome
[16:23] <raj> some are--> 127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain   localhost
[16:23] <awolfey> I'm trying to set up a vpn to the office win server. I have made a vpn connection but I can't figure out how to mount the drive. Google not giving much help. Do I use Connect to server from the file browser to do this?
[16:23] <raj> some are--> 127.0.1.1  ubuntu
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> !google |  ekaleido
[16:23] <auronandace> !backtrack | zwoxyz
[16:23] <raj> another 3 column-->  43.24.243.34   hello.com   raj
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> raj: 127.0.0.0/8 are effectively the same
[16:24] <raj> is that okay for some to have 2 columns, some to have 3?
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> raj: sure
[16:24] <raj> k
[16:24] <kpas_> yes it is raj
[16:24] <bw_> theadmin: no problem..were you recommending I edit rc*.d by hand?
[16:24] <raj> thank you
[16:25] <theadmin> bw_: Meh? I just do "sudo mv /etc/init/something.conf /etc/init/something.conf.DISABLED"
[16:25] <theadmin> bw_: Upstart ignores stuff not ending in conf so
[16:26] <satty> how to reset the screen brightness after login
[16:27] <theadmin> bw_: That, and, well, I myself don't use Upstart (or Ubuntu as such), but that's how I'd do it if I were
[16:27] <satty> every time i login it brightness is at maximum. I want this to as I want
[16:27] <bw_> theadmin: Not quite sure I understand you, but what do you mean?
[16:28] <artao> ubottu@satty: i just discovered grandr .. might that do it?
[16:28] <theadmin> bw_: initscripts with Upstart are located under /etc/init/*.conf -- if the file doesn't end in .conf Upstart ignores it and doesn't start the respective service, so...
[16:28] <g-wiz> hi everyone
[16:28] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i need create image of partition using dd and foremost to rescue files :D
[16:29] <satty> ubottu, touchpad
[16:29] <hamed> hey there
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: may want to use dd_rescue
[16:30] <bw_> theadmin: I see, preciate it.
[16:31] <theadmin> bw_: There are tools like rcconf, chkconfig (you just mentioned), update-rc.d and bum that will help with it
[16:31] <theadmin> Oh.
[16:32] <freezey> hey anybody have a link to the main ubuntu repos?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> freezey: packages.ubuntu.com
[16:34] <satty> grandr is not for brightness

[16:38] <lightpriest> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu on ThinkPad E320 and for some reason network manager doesn't show any wireless cards (not channels)
[16:38] <selite> Hey, my sony vaio charger died. There are some universal ones though they have different voltages than the original one... Should I buy it?
[16:38] <sybariten> gah
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> newbie|3: I suggest you use ubuntu and get familiar with the OS first
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> selite  how is your question ubuntu related?
[16:39] <selite> MonkeyDust: Shut your noisy hole, or answer my question.
[16:39] <sybariten> first i tried running thttpd. I wasnt too succesful i think. Then i realized apache is maybe already running on this host
[16:39] <theadmin> selite: Go to ##hardware , we don't support such things here.
[16:39] <newbie|3> see
[16:39] <lightpriest> selite, you should the connector on your laptop, they sometimes accept a range of voltages
[16:39] <hamed> i
[16:39] <newbie|3> i download it yestaday
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> lightpriest: run:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list     then use http://pastie.org   to host the output
[16:39] <hamed> hi
[16:39] <newbie|3> but for somerearon i dont know how to make it work
[16:39] <sybariten> i checked with ps -aux and it seems like it was. Then i tried stopping it, and got it out of the ps result. But i still get a test page when pointing a browser to the host. What gives?
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> newbie|3: backtrack isn't supported here in any way
[16:40] <freezey> anybody know why this is going down? http://pastie.org/3310096
[16:40] <hamed> hi
[16:40] <hamed> hi
[16:40] <hamed> hi
[16:40] <iceroot> freezey: because the "ubuntu" is wrong
[16:40] <FloodBot1> hamed: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:40] <freezey> ?
[16:40] <iceroot> freezey: its not ubuntu-main and so on, its main

[16:40] <freezey> ah
[16:40] <freezey> gotcha
[16:41] <newbie|3> i download the arm version...i made a mistake instead of downloadin iso

[16:41] <iceroot> !backtrack | newbie|3
[16:41] <newbie|3> i did arm
[16:41] <iceroot> newbie|3: this channel is not for backtrack

[16:41] <freezey> iceroot: yeah it looks like something is screwy with it
[16:41] <iceroot> freezey: the question is why
[16:41] <iceroot> freezey: you are using ubuntu? you did not edit it by hand?
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> freezey: try switching server
[16:41] <freezey> iceroot:  it was an AMI
[16:41] <newbie|3> how_?
[16:42] <freezey> yeah it was am AMI that i got from amazon that seems to be a bit screwy
[16:42] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: its not the server, the lines in sources.list are wrong

[16:50] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: what won't work?
[16:50] <newbie|3> what!!!why??yo im new to this even my name say it so why arent you telling me the whole thing about me talkin about that tool here_?
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> newbie|3: your OS isn't supported here, it has its own channel
[16:50] <zwoxyz> joining the backtrack irc channel
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> GranCenSail  type lshw -C display to find out
[16:50] <newbie|3> i konw
[16:50] <zwoxyz> ActionParsnip: by typing it
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> newbie|3: how many times do you need telling?
[16:51] <iceroot> newbie|3: is "this is the ubuntu channel and we dont support backtrack here" not enough?
[16:51] <jonko> synaptic ?
[16:51] <newbie|3> i did it my self what is wrong with it_?
[16:51] <Slart> newbie|3: this channel is about ubuntu user support.. backtrack is another distro, with its own support channels. We don't discuss other distros here
[16:51] <iceroot> newbie|3: what else infos do you want from us about "backtrack is not supported here"?
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> newbie|3: nobody will support you as discussing backtrack is offtopic here
[16:51] <rumpelstilchen> +i
[16:51] <Slart> newbie|3: you will be kicked out of here if you keep asking about it
[16:51] <GranCenSail> I ran it and I'm trying to read the output.  I'll note if I figure it out.
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> Slart: thanks
[16:51] <newbie|3> aaaaaaaaaaah
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: do you mean:  su root     ?
[16:52] <GranCenSail> Intel, version 09
[16:52] <zzecool> GranCenSail:  install Hardinfo  from software center
[16:52] <zzecool> its a the same but with nice gui
[16:53] <zwoxyz> ActionParsnip: what?
[16:53] <GranCenSail> I'm working on it now.
[16:53] <jonko> GranCenSail : it won't work
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: what isn't working?
[16:54] <zzecool> GranCenSail: form there you will know what your hardware is and be able to find a solution fast even searching google

[16:54] <GranCenSail> zzecool: Thanks.
[16:54] <awhitehatter> urlin2u, thanks for the on the broadcom wiki, no luck though. Complete purge of the driver and still same thing, Wifi sees the network, attempts to connect and rejects the pass phrase
[16:54] <zzecool> GranCenSail: np
[16:54] <zykotick9> !register | zwoxyz
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: ahhh
[16:55] <zwoxyz> ty
[16:55] <urlin2u> awhitehatter, well that all my knowledge here in that where the wiki is lol. :)
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: I'm i #backtrack-linux right now...
[16:55] <Slart> btby: I think there might be some scripts/folders in /etc/acpi/  .. it's possible you have to install acpid first.. but that should at least get you a place to start searching
[16:56] <awhitehatter> urlin2u, no problem...maybe it's a hw failure, it's an older lappy... i'm going to try a live distro to see what happens.
[16:56] <urlin2u> awhitehatter, that is a excellent plan.
[16:57] <zwoxyz> ActionParsnip: Well I can't write
[16:57] <jonko> i don't work
[16:57] <zwoxyz> #backtrack-linux :Cannot send to channel
[16:57] <btby> Slart: Thanks, I've been trying to work with /etc/acpi/handler.sh, case "$1" in, button/suspend, button/lid sections, but by echoing the output of 'ip addr' to a file from there, I see that when these are run, they interfaces are down already.
[16:57] <spir> Hi, how can I do to store various public/private keys? Shall I copy them all in a respective file? id_dsa.pub/id_dsa
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> zwoxyz  maybe you have to register, first
[16:58] <llutz> zwoxyz: what part of" Registration help available by typing /join #freenode" you don't understand?
[16:58] <DXBLouie> hi everyone
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: sounds like you need identifying and registering
[16:58] <DXBLouie> how do i set ethernet speed in 11.10? i can run "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full" at boot, but is there a way to get NetworkManager to do it?
[16:59] <awolfey> I'm trying to set up a vpn to the office win server. I have made a vpn connection but I can't figure out how to mount the drive. Google not giving much help. Do I use Connect to server from the file browser to do this?
[16:59] <artao> crap! I think i poochedmy system. Grub should come right up on boot, yes?
[16:59] <compdoc> DXBLouie, thats automatically done when the nic detects the switch
[17:01] <DXBLouie> compdoc, i know.. i have gigabit switch and wiring, but on this box whenever the link is 1000mbps, it keeps going up and down, till i set the speed down to 100
[17:01] <DXBLouie> [67406.373042] r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth0: link down
[17:01] <DXBLouie> [67408.594268] r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth0: link up
[17:01] <jonko> channel is about ubuntu user support
[17:01] <artao> now my computer won't boot to win 7 OR linux. it's just sitting there blinking a cursor at me. ... I had my doubts about letting grub go on the MBR .. the installer didn't see my win 7, but i figured i could adjust that
[17:01] <zwoxyz> ActionParsnip: ok
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> can ethernet handle speeds of 1000mbps?
[17:02] <compdoc> DXBLouie, you have a problem with the nic, wiring, or switch. might be better to fix it, than manually setting the speed
[17:02] <jonko> its a the same but with nice gui
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: sure, as long as both ends support it
[17:02] <Spec> MonkeyDust: can ethernet handle gigabit? sure.
[17:02] <artao> soooo .. why won't grub load for me? i'm on my 1st reboot after install
[17:03] <DXBLouie> compdoc, the switch works fine, my windows box (identical) runs 1000mbps, i switched cables.. but that's besides the point
[17:03] <zwoxyz> ActionParsnip: Join BACKTRACK channel
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> artao: what GPU do you use?
[17:03] <artao> gpu? ati x600
[17:03] <DXBLouie> compdoc, at this point i'd much rather just set it to 100mbps.. the NIC is embedded, and my expansion PCIe ports are used
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: done
[17:03] <jonko> tool artao ?
[17:03] <artao> ??
[17:03] <jonko> artao ?
[17:04] <DXBLouie> agian, that's besides the point, my question is really whether there's a way to set adapter options via NetworkManager, as opposed to setting an if-up script in /etc/network/interfaces and ditching NetworkManager
[17:04] <artao> i'm trying to get my comp. to boot ... grub won't start .. 1st boot after install
[17:04] <compdoc> DXBLouie, yeah, I often see bad onboard nics. No pci slots?
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | artao
[17:04] <GranCenSail> I installed Hardinfo and it has a lot of great information, but I still can't tell what my graphics card is or how to adjust the screen brightness.
[17:04] <DXBLouie> compdoc, two pci-e, one used with the video card, one used with a fax modem (fax server)
[17:04] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: if artao isn't seen any grub, i'm not sure nomodeset will help (or is an option to set)
[17:05] <thegauntlet> Ubuntu 11.10 update manager just installed some updates, wanted to reboot and when it came back, every time i move the mouse, the screen goes black and then the login prompt appears. How can I fix?
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: the default is to not show grub though
[17:05] <artao> but the bootloader isn't even coming up .. i have no opportunity to use nomodeset
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> artao: hold shift at boot, does it show?
[17:05] <artao> i'll try
[17:06] <compdoc> DXBLouie, if you have to set the card manually, it might be best not to use the network manager. you can set everything by hand
[17:06] <ederico> hello all, I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. I was wondering, when I go to the music lens and click on a track it plays automatically in Totem. However, if I click on an album nothing happens. Is this normal, or is there a way I could get the whole album to play and be queued in Totem (or any other app)?
[17:06] <artao> holding shift .. all i get is a blinking cursor in the upper left of the screen
[17:06] <davidcalle> ederico, the Music lens is (by default) only working with Banshee.
[17:06] <artao> i think i pooched my MBR .. won't boot into win 7 either
[17:07] <zykotick9> !grub | artao
[17:07] <auronandace> artao: how many harddrives do you have?
[17:07] <jonko> i have a ws which bought something, how can
[17:07] <zykotick9> artao: i'd try following the directions on restroing grub, sounds like it's not installed.
[17:08] <artao> 3 ... one sata (primary drive) one IDE, one USB external
[17:08] <davidcalle> ederico, that's why the albums don't play, Totems doesn't understand the concept of albums as Bansheed does.
[17:08] <davidcalle> Totem*
[17:08] <auronandace> artao: maybe you need to change the boot order in the bios
[17:08] <artao> i did that
[17:09] <auronandace> artao: so you are set to boot from the drive hat grub was installed to?
[17:09] <artao> that i'm not sure
[17:10] <artao> i let grub go to the MBR, assuming it was the SATA drive
[17:10] <auronandace> artao: trial and error, try booting from the other
[17:10] <artao> the IDE is set to boot 1st right now, but it also didn't work with the SATA booting 1st
[17:10] <auronandace> artao: ah, in that case i think zykotick9 might be right and grub didn't install
[17:11] <artao> hunh
[17:11] <artao> k
[17:12] <zykotick9> artao: are you using a cd or usb as a live medium?
[17:12] <jonko> mark as manually installed ?
[17:12] <artao> cd
[17:12] <artao> dvd
[17:12] <jbs> cd ..
[17:12] <jbs> cd horseporn
[17:12] <zykotick9> artao: ok, just checking.  USB might cause additional issues.
[17:12] <jbs> woopse wrong window
[17:13] <thegauntlet> Ubuntu 11.10 update manager just installed some updates, wanted to reboot and when it came back, every time i move the mouse, the screen goes black and then the login prompt appears. How can I fix?
[17:13] <auronandace> jbs: yeah, right
[17:13] <agentgasmask> How can I make policykit not prompt for a password when conecting to a wireless network?
[17:13] <johndoe_> hi, is anyone else experiencing crashes in lightdm after the latest updates?
[17:14] <johndoe_> i was using unity-2d from the PPA
[17:14] <auronandace> johndoe_: tried removing the ppa to see if the issue persits?
[17:15] <becom33> Im having issue with opening a mysql port to the net , maby somthing is wrong with iptable . can any of you help ?
[17:15] <johndoe_> its not that easy
[17:15] <johndoe_> i cannot use the desktop
[17:15] <jonko> filesystjohndoe_ to use for /boot on centos 6
[17:15] <johndoe_> if I use the mouse it crashes
[17:15] <auronandace> johndoe_: perhaps you see now why ppas aren't supported
[17:16] <johndoe_> auronandace: thanks for being so helpful
[17:16] <becom33> anyone ?
[17:17] <Barcel0> you think this is correct/good?  append   boot=casper   initrd=/casper/initrd.gz autostart=serere --terminal single --
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> johndoe_  try ppa-purge
[17:17] <zykotick9> becom33: having a DB directly accessible from the net, isn't the greatest security idea.
[17:18] <auronandace> johndoe_: fun to learn the hard way eh? i'm just glad this isn't an issue of failing to make a backup (that lesson can hurt)
[17:18] <becom33> zykotick9: its local machine
[17:18] <jonko> to this even my name say it so why arent you telling me the whole thing about
[17:18] <johndoe_> MonkeyDust: thanks, is there an easy way to revert the packages also? or should I go and inspect them using aptitude?
[17:18] <Barcel0> ?
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> johndoe_  you mean downgrade? don't!
[17:19] <johndoe_> auronandace: theres nothing to learn here, I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the bug
[17:19] <Barcel0> this line is good?  append   boot=casper   initrd=/casper/initrd.gz autostart=serere --terminal single --
[17:19] <Barcel0> for isolinux
[17:19] <johndoe_> MonkeyDust: yes, I mean downgrade
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> !downgrade > johndoe_
[17:20] <zykotick9> johndoe_: downgrading doesn't work, the apt files involved are a one way process
[17:20] <raj> can someone please remind me how to add a user to the sudo group?
[17:20] <raj> or admin group
[17:20] <johndoe_> MonkeyDust: I dont think you are understanding
[17:20] <jonko> command can i run to install from a centos 6
[17:20] <ederico> davidcalle: Once we get Rhytmbox with 12.04 I guess that will play the albums, right?
[17:20] <jonko> can you provide more details ?
[17:20] <johndoe_> I mean reverting the packages to their old state
[17:21] <johndoe_> its not a problem with unity though
[17:21] <zykotick9> johndoe_: you'll need to remove the affected packages, then reinstall them fresh.
[17:21] <jonko> you with that i'll have to be a hybrid iso
[17:21] <gadeynebram_> Hi, Could someone help me with this issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11661282#post11661282
[17:21] <johndoe_> the problem is with the latest X upgrades
[17:21] <auronandace> jonko: why are you asking about centos in #ubuntu?
[17:21] <gadeynebram_> When I boot my laptop my screen remains blank
[17:22] <jonko> to boot
[17:22] <davidcalle> ederico, yes.
[17:22] <zykotick9> gadeynebram_: have you tried nomodeset?  "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details.
[17:22] <ederico> davidcalle: thanks for your explanation :)
[17:22] <EvilResistance> jonko, if your question is about CentOS and its live environment, you need a CentOS channel.  SInce I just showed up, can yo uelaborate: <jonko> [02/03/12 12:20:44] command can i run to install from a centos 6
[17:22] <johndoe_> let me start again, is here anyone having problems with using the mouse in X?

[17:23] <davidcalle> ederico, if you want to use an other music player with the music lens, it's still possible with a PPA. What music player are you using?
[17:23] <meerkats> hear me!!!
[17:24] <auronandace> johndoe_: latest X upgrades? are you using a xorg ppa?
[17:24] <ederico> davidcalle: I currently enjoy using xnoise, as it is lightweight
[17:24] <meerkats> davidcalle, hello?
[17:24] <johndoe_> auronandace: no, just plain stock ubuntu, nothing strange
[17:24] <davidcalle> meerkats, hi
[17:24] <johndoe_> auronandace: but I tried with lightdm, gdm, kdm and even though I can login
[17:24] <johndoe_> the desktop crashes
[17:25] <johndoe_> when I move or click with the mouse
[17:25] <davidcalle> ederico, then no. It only supports rhythmbox, gmusicbrowser, guayadeque and clementine.
[17:25] <johndoe_> and the login screen reappears
[17:25] <jonko> default only working with banshee
[17:25] <auronandace> johndoe_: odd, i don't get that
[17:26] <auronandace> johndoe_: my touchpad and usb mouse works great
[17:26] <johndoe_> yes, it used to work all okay, until I rebooted because of the lateste updates
[17:26] <rohit__> here is output of ping -c 3 www.google.com
[17:27] <meerkats> update manager is extremely slow: it took 30 minutes to upgrade vlc, what could cause it? the download speed was normal, it was the installation speed (deb files and so) that took like 28 minutes
[17:27] <zwoxyz> hei
[17:27] <zwoxyz> ok
[17:27] <ederico> davidcalle: Too bad, I'll have to avoid this functionality. Yet, just in case, how I do I do it with Rhythmbox? I have that installed.
[17:27] <auronandace> !rootirc | Guest36976
[17:28] <zzecool> GranCenSail: if you look under pci you will find your graphic card
[17:28] <zzecool> its there

[17:29] <davidcalle> ederico, https://launchpad.net/~markjtully/+archive/ppa. Add this PPA and install rhythmbox-scope. Log out, log in. And Music from your Rhythmbox collection should appear in the Music lens.

[17:34] <auronandace> Nach0z: /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[17:34] <Nach0z> MonkeyDust: already did that
[17:34] <zykotick9> Nach0z: you're probably looking for /etc/default/grub
[17:34] <ederico> davidcalle, thanks, logging out!
[17:34] <Nach0z> auronandace: that's what someone else said, thought that was grub legacy though
[17:34] <davidcalle> ederic, no problem :)
[17:35] <auronandace> Nach0z: but you're not meant to edit it directly (you should edit the files under /etc/grub.d/)
[17:35] <root_z> anyone know why my windows are laged while i resize it?
[17:35] <Nach0z> auronandace: NO idea how to mess with grub.d. >_>

[17:35] <Nach0z> auronandace: alrighty thanks
[17:36] <auronandace> goldcityman: there is no way to improve flash performance, ask adobe

[17:36] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: upgrade, karmic now has zero support
[17:36] <goldcityman> mmm u think I can update?
[17:36] <goldcityman> 1 gb ram?
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: I'd wait til April then install Precise which is LTS
[17:36] <Nach0z> goldcityman: you could theoretically re-nice the plugin-container, but auronandace is right, installing LXDE instead of Gnome is a much better option
[17:36] <theadmin> goldcityman: Try Xubuntu or Lubuntu, or maybe Crunchbang or even Arch. We don't support the latter two, but they have brilliant performance :)
[17:37] <oldman> Does ubuntu support HID (usb) compliant touchscreens?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: sure, minimum requirement is still 512Mb, you will get a more responsive OS with Lubuntu
[17:38] <theadmin> oldman: Yes, Ubuntu does have touchscreen support iirc
[17:38] <goldcityman> what version?
[17:38] <goldcityman> last?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> oldman: depends on make and model
[17:38] <theadmin> goldcityman: Grab the latest Lubuntu is what I say
[17:38] <goldcityman> what does it mean libasound2>>1.0.22 I'm trying to update chrome
[17:38] <metbsd> lubuntu?
[17:38] <DinoMuffin> You might also like xubuntu
[17:38] <metbsd> whats that
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: oneiric (11.10) is the latest stable
[17:38] <DinoMuffin> if you prefer xfce
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> !lubuntu | metbsd
[17:39] <metbsd> is there buntu?

[17:39] <Zilly> Is there a way to get which input the monitor is displaying (like whether it is displaying from the VGA port or the HDMI)?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> metbsd: you can install minimal ubuntu which will give a CLI based OS...
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> metbsd  ubuntu server
[17:39] <goldcityman> can I upgrade from ubuntu 9.10 or I have to format?
[17:39] <auronandace> !mini | metbsd
[17:40] <theadmin> goldcityman: You can only upgrade to 10.04, then to 10.10, then to 11.04 and finally to 11.10. Which is a horrible mess. I suggest a reinstall.
[17:40] <zwoxyz> hey
[17:40] <auronandace> !eol | goldcityman
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: you can upgrade to lucid (10.04) then jump straight to Precise when it is released

[17:45] <libnotify> and i run armitage on ubuntu, so laylow
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: why do I need to know that?
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> libnotify  please stop
[17:46] <libnotify> then shoulda shut up in the first place
[17:46] <johndoe_> auronandace: I fixed it!
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: spamming the channel with spurious links is offtopic, that is my point...
[17:46] <auronandace> !yay | johndoe_
[17:47] <rohit__> j
[17:47] <johndoe_> in case anyone cares, I downgraded the latest version of xorg form unity-2d ppa
[17:47] <scott__> i'm trying to install handbrake from a PPA. i've followed the instructions to open the ppa on my system and have done the sudo apt-get update afterwards. At the bottom of the page there are four candidates, yet no linkage.... i'm sure its just me and altzeimers but could someone help me with the next step(s)? here's the page:https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases
[17:47] <johndoe_> to the regular ubuntu version
[17:47] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip, libnotify: Alas, you guys debating whether links can be posted like this has stolen the thunder from my question. Human nature is a pain.
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> johndoe_  kindly share the solution with the channel, for future reference
[17:47] <libnotify> drop it then and mind your own business next time..... :)
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> ok
[17:47] <auronandace> johndoe_: tod you the ppa was at fault :)
[17:47] <auronandace> told
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> mikeliss: that guide is all I know
[17:47] <johndoe_> hahah, yes, I realized when I saw it contained a different version of xorg
[17:48] <johndoe_> should I file a bug?
[17:48] <libnotify> johndoe_: do
[17:48] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip: Was afraid of that - I guess a restart it is, then...brb...
[17:48] <ederico> davidcalle: I reinstalled banshee, and that works, I'll go with that for now and then when 12.04 is out I'm doing a fresh install anyways
[17:48] <rohit__> can i ask 1 question about suse here?
[17:49] <scott__> i'll allow it
[17:49] <auronandace> rohit_: is it ubuntu related?
[17:49] <libnotify> rohit_: its all linux ask
[17:49] <xangua> rohit__: no, go to the suse  channel
[17:49] <zykotic10> libnotify: wrong answer
[17:49] <scott__>  /wink
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> rohit__: ask in #suse please, this is ubuntu support
[17:50] <libnotify> zykotic10: didn't see your answer
[17:50] <DummyMode> hi there
[17:50] <auronandace> libnotify: drop the attitude please
[17:50] <libnotify> lol @ DummyMode
[17:50] <scott__> so...how to install a package from a PPA?
[17:50] <rohit__> I have ubuntu 10.10 and suse 12.1 running on my laptop ! i get good internet speed on ubuntu 1mbps,but on suse i only get 30bps or something like that
[17:50] <zykotic10> johndoe_: if the bug is with a PPA, be sure to report it to the PPA - not Ubuntu
[17:51] <auronandace> !ppa | scott__
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> scott__: add ppa then refresh packages, you can then install it like any other package
[17:51] <DummyMode> is there a way to upgrade to a new release without reinstalling? for example, from 10 to 12, just to say something..
[17:51] <theadmin> scott__: Add the ppa, install the package. To add the ppa, use something like this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:username/repo (e.g: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next)
[17:51] <johndoe_> yes
[17:51] <Mixxit> hey is there a way i can snap to right side like windows 7
[17:51] <auronandace> rohit_: in that case, thats a suse support question
[17:52] <theadmin> rohit__: Disable IPv6, also please go to #suse
[17:52] <xangua> DummyMode: you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 as both are LTS
[17:52] <MonkeyDust> Mixxit  no, but there is a PPA to snap to the bottom
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: its the grid plugin in ccsm
[17:52] <rohit__> but some people are still interested
[17:52] <MonkeyDust> ah
[17:52] <MystMan> Hello all.  I am installing subversion on a rackspace cloud ubuntu server that i just spun up.  I have installed all pre requisites but never installed and set up svn before.  If anyone knows should I create a repository in the home or www directory and what is the difference
[17:52] <Mixxit> ccsm?
[17:52] <MystMan> Ty ahead of time
[17:52] <DummyMode> xengua, how's the way? apt- something?
[17:52] <Mixxit> sorry i'm pretty new to this :-)
[17:52] <MonkeyDust> Mixxit  compiz config
[17:52] <Mixxit> oh where's that system?
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: install compizconfig-settings-manager    then run: ccsm
[17:53] <scott__> actionparsnip  theadmin : i've gotten so far as adding the PPA key, but i still have no access to the package itself. here's the page: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases

[17:53] <libnotify> yes rohit__
[17:53] <theadmin> scott__: Very well then, now run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install whatever
[17:53] <Mixxit> installing ccsm now thanks
[17:53] <gadeynebram_> Hi, Someone told me to use the nomodeset property to resolve my thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11639631#post11639631
[17:53] <auronandace> rohit_: you've been asked to take it to #suse, please
[17:53] <rohit__>  I have ubuntu 10.10 and suse 12.1 running on my laptop ! i get good internet speed on ubuntu 1mbps,but on suse i only get 30bps or something like that
[17:53] <scott__> there's simply nothing to click on, unless i'm just being obtuse
[17:53] <gadeynebram_> It didn't work however. Any other toughts?
[17:53] <xangua> scott__: that ppa has only packages for natty, maverick, lucid and karmic, do you have any of those¿
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> scott__: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install handbrake
[17:54] <libnotify> do what auronandace has just said
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> rohit__: ask in #suse please
[17:54] <rohit__> k
[17:54] <zykotic10> ActionParsnip: i believe the package is handbrake-gtk (or handbrake-cli)
[17:54] <scott__> actionparsnip: i've tried that to no avail
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> root_z  "#suse Channel is open."
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> scott__: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> zykotic10: not on the ppa ;)
[17:54] <scott__> moment
[17:55] <lanoxx> trism, are you there?
[17:55] <libnotify> well i am not an ubuntu fan.... just run my irc client on a remote machine.
[17:55] <scott__> actionparsnip: natty
[17:55] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[17:56] <Cop3rnic> anyone here ever install ubuntu on a eee transformer?
[17:56] <libnotify> evening wildc4rd
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> scott__: the PPA supports that release
[17:56] <Mixxit> ok i found grid in ccsm
[17:56] <TheExplorer> Greetings fellow ubuntu users, I have a 2 quick questions: firstly i backed up my old harddrive in a single *.tar.gz format, attempting to open the file and extract it is EXTREMELY slow, is there any way to write an index to speed up the process?
[17:56] <Mixxit> do you mean the bindings? i see put bottom left
[17:56] <Mixxit> if so what is KP8 etc?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: you configure it there dude, have a play
[17:56] <theadmin> TheExplorer: You don't have to open it to extract, you can use the command-line
[17:57] <scott__> actionparsnip: please go to the page i've linked, and find the link to the package, then come tell me where to click. i know it sounds rather acedemic, but the link escapes me
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> scott__: there is nothing to 'click' you need the command I ave
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> *gave
[17:57] <TheExplorer> Dear "theadmin", the file is so big that i cannot extract it at once for a lack of space. I wish to recover select files.
[17:58] <theadmin> TheExplorer: Ah, I see, uh, I think the tar command has some option for that, just a sec
[17:58] <jonko> to see if the issue persits ?
[17:58] <Mixxit> hmm doesnt seme to be doing anything
[17:58] <jonko> might be better to fix it, than manually setting the speed
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> scott__: all you have to do is copy and paste the command I gave and it will install the app...
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> scott__: no idea where you go the idea you click something
[17:59] <TheExplorer> Secondly does anyone know of an "all in one" file explorer, or know of how i would go about setting nautilus to do that. I wish to view all files without folders to recover scattered various documents.
[17:59] <theadmin> TheExplorer: Well to get the list of files all over your hard drive, you can do this: sudo find / | less
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> TheExplorer  try midnight commander
[17:59] <jonko> MonkeyDust : ok
[17:59] <Gentoo64> TheExplorer, what do you mean
[18:00] <libnotify> ok see y'all later, and for you ActionParsnip, kid with your fellow noobs next time and not me
[18:00] <gandhijee_> hey how can i get my monitors back on the top bar in  11.10 like they were in 10.04?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: as long as you don't spam, its all good
[18:01] <scott__> actionparsnip: i have tried the normal input. and gotten back something about it being outdated so on, should i try it again and give you a concise output? this isn't my first time installing from a PPA. i'm just at a loss as to why i can't get the package in this casse
[18:02] <TheExplorer> Gentoo64, I... being the unorganized sort i am, end up saving files to random places for whatever reason. Because i have no single folder that i save my documents in, they are scattered deep in a 15 years worth of sloppy backups and random dirs.
[18:02] <libnotify> i know what spamming is, get a clue
[18:02] <libnotify> ok outta here have important things to do right now
[18:02] <Guest97674> hello
[18:02] <auronandace> libnotify: maybe you should just leave, like you said you were about to
[18:03] <Gentoo64> TheExplorer, i dont get what you want from the file manager, most have tabs
[18:03] <auronandace> !pm | libnotify
[18:04] <kuhno> are the ubottu commends listed somewhere?
[18:04] <auronandace> !brain | kuhno
[18:04] <zykotick9> !bot | kuhno
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> scott__: can you give a pastebin of the output please
[18:04] <libnotify> kuhno: is just but a BOT
[18:04] <kuhno> :D i knew there was a command for that too
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: I never doubted yourawareness of the word, just the fact that you comitted it

[18:07] <Cleaner_> LAS MALVINAS SON ARGENTINAS
[18:07] <scott__> actionparsnip: Package handbrake is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[18:08] <scott__> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[18:08] <scott__> is only available from another source
[18:08] <scott__> E: Package 'handbrake' has no installation candidate
[18:08] <zykotick9> scott__: you might want to verify the package name, "apt-cache search handbrake"
[18:09] <n3o> hey
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> scott__: did the ppa add ok?
[18:09] <n3o> alguien
[18:09] <gmachine_24> is there any way to view a list of recently opened docs, regardless of whether they were word-processing (IE typing), a spreadsheet or whatever.
[18:09] <n3o> que hable español
[18:09] <n3o> ??
[18:09] <auronandace> scott__: what version of ubuntu are you using, and what version is the ppa for?
[18:09] <zykotick9> !es | n3o
[18:09] <Aferreiramelo> Somebody use Cinnamon in Oneric?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Aferreiramelo: its not supported here
[18:10] <scott__> auronadace: natty : natty
[18:10] <Aferreiramelo> Hey!
[18:12] <raj> when adding a user, how do I give them access to sudo ?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> raj: add them to the admin group
[18:12] <scott__> actionparsnip: handdbrake-cli  -  vesatile DVD   ripper and video transcoder - command line
[18:12] <MonkeyDust> raj  visudo
[18:12] <Aferreiramelo> Someone uses Cinnamon?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> scott__: then run:  sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli
[18:12] <raj> ActionParsnip, I meant, could it be done in one shot with the adduser script?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Aferreiramelo: its offtopic here
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> raj: sure, read:  man adduser
[18:13] <zykotick9> scott__: the handbrake-cli is command line, are you sure there isn't a handbrake-gtk (GUI)
[18:13] <scott__> actionparsnip: handbrake-gtk - versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder - GTK GUI
[18:13] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: ;) ^
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> scott__: that too
[18:14] <AkaSrinivasan> hi
[18:14] <AkaSrinivasan> anybody there?
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> no
[18:14] <n3o> yes
[18:15] <kpas_> useradd <username> -G wheel
[18:15] <g105b> Hi, I'd like to allow remote root login to my server - but I don't want the password exposed - can I do this with a priv/pub key?
[18:15] <strapippo> ciao
[18:15] <n3o> I understand
[18:15] <zykotick9> kpas_: admin group is used to determin sudo in ubuntu
[18:15] <MonkeyDust> list
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> g105b: why not use normal users and use sudo as usual?
[18:16] <g105b> ActionParsnip: because I'm allowing remote root for MySQL management through MySQL workbench application
[18:16] <kpas_> oops wrong OS
[18:16] <strapippo> buonasera a tutti
[18:16] <g105b> ActionParsnip: the users won't be in the terminal - the application needs to have root privilages.
[18:16] <zykotick9> !it | strapippo
[18:17] <scott__> guys i am simply not very ubuntu saavy...not to mention ppa saavy...i've done this before with other packages, but for some reason i'm running into issues in this case. which is why i keep posting the page assuming someone will have checked the links there to see if there's issue there
[18:17] <zykotick9> scott__: what happens with "sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk"?
[18:18] <RKyle> In the event that I forgot my root password to a remote server, what would my options be?
[18:19] <scott__> here's the page once more: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases
[18:20] <zykotick9> !lostpassword | RKyle but why root password?
[18:21] <RKyle> zykotick9, I can't do that on a remote server though.
[18:21] <scott__> zykotick9: you win.  the suffix -gtk was all i needed. yer my hero.
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: there is a reason there is no root pass
[18:22] <scott__> honorable mention to actionparsnip for attempting to help. thanks my friend
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> scott__: got the PPA added though :)
[18:23] <RKyle> ActionParsnip, I forgot the password to the account with root access, I do however have access to other accounts on the server.
[18:23] <kuhno> it's really confusing having no root pw anymore... a week ago i still had one :D
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: use your account which is in the admin group
[18:24] <RKyle> ActionParsnip, There was only one account in the admin group and I lost that accounts passwords.
[18:24] <RKyle> The rest of the accounts are just basic accounts without root access.
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: then you will need to pysically attend the server and use a chroot
[18:24] <scott__> handbrake successfully installed now. thanks folks. much love to the ubuntu community!!   NEXT ROUND'S ON ME!!
[18:24] <damo22> RKyle: can you boot off a livecd and then chroot into it
[18:25] <RKyle> I know the outline of my password but I don't remember the characters.
[18:25] <raj> how do I modify an existing uesr?
[18:25] <RKyle> damo22, It is a remote server.
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> raj: usermod
[18:25] <raj> nm
[18:25] <raj> oh ok
[18:25] <raj> thanks
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: time for a smarthands request
[18:25] <damo22> RKyle: you could hack it with a rootkit
[18:25] <anonomegasmasher> hello
[18:25] <sidney_> I get this popup that says something about my network being slow. Is there a log file, somewhere I can see the message

[18:25] <Cube``_> hey guys, thunar doesn't automount for some reason!
[18:25] <Cube``_> hey guys, thunar doesn't automount for some reason!

[18:26] <anonomegasmasher> kiout
[18:26] <damo22> RKyle: you download a small root partition from somewhere and then chroot into it
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Cube``_: are there any bugs reported?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> sidney_: dmesg    maybe..
[18:30] <tigrang> I have to press my touchpad pretty hard for it to register. I have Acceleration and Sensitivity all the way in Mouse and Touchpad settings but same thing. I know the touchpad isnt messed up because I dual boot and in my other OS its fine. Is there any other setting for this?
[18:30] <LemonAid> Hello. I`m running 11.10 with unity. I tried to adjust the desktop brightness with ccsm but no settings seem to register. Any ideas on what i should do so that the setting take effect ?
[18:30] <meberhart> tigrang - there are more settings in the dconf-editor
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: what make and model system????
[18:30] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, Samsung RV515
[18:31] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: ?
[18:31] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: it works sometimes
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Cube``_: is the network stable?
[18:32] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: network?
[18:32] <Cube``_> im using usb
[18:32] <Cube``_> no internet
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; dmesg | pastebinit        Thanks
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Cube``_: I see, is the partition healthy?
[18:33] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, sure. Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/827899/
[18:34] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: yeah, it works sometimes!
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Cube``_: have you checked its health, if its NTFS you'll need a windows OS. When you unplug it do you use the safe removal or do you just pull it out?
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: try:    echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf        Reboot to test
[18:36] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: If it's ntfs you can as well use "ntfsck" which is a part of ntfsprogs nowadays iirc
[18:36] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Not sure Ubuntu has that tho
[18:36] <theadmin> !find ntfsck
[18:36] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, ok brb. Thanks
[18:37] <theadmin> Ah there
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft, I wouldn't scan it with anything else
[18:37] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Makes sense heh
[18:37] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Just saying that it is possible
[18:37] <Oxicore> was macht der rechner?
[18:37] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, oh and also. When I press shutdown (ubuntu 11.10) it just logs me out. I need to reboot via a terminal, but one problem at a time :)
[18:37] <errorboy> time
[18:38] <kuhno> is there a way to upgrade an existing xubuntu oneiric to pengolin alpha?
[18:38] <Mixxit> man
[18:38] <Mixxit> don't untick window decorations in ccsm
[18:38] <Mixxit> had to power off my pc
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> kuhno: sudo update-manager -d
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> kuhno: -d is for the (d)evelopment release
[18:39] <kuhno> thx
[18:40] <LjL> kuhno: do that while keeping in mind it's not released and may break at any time
[18:40] <kuhno> yeah, i know that, this is my testing machine
[18:41] <GranCenSail> In Ubuntu 11.10, is there a way to add text to the icons in the launcher (or even make them text-only)?
[18:42] <raj> does ubuntu have some backports type thing so I can get the latest in a package?
[18:42] <LjL> !backports > raj
[18:42] <GranCenSail> I don't like having to identify programs by pictures.
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> raj: you can enable backports, or try find a ppa
[18:43] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, thats MUCH better. thank you
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: total guess, thepsmouse module has a few other options. I suggest you make a backup of /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf  for future installs
[18:44] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, I lost Touchpad tab in Mouse and Touchpad settings. I cant live without two finger scroll :(
[18:45] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, if I want to undo it, do I just remove psmouse.conf?
[18:45] <raj> LjL, I already have deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[18:46] <raj> in my /etc/apt/ources.list
[18:46] <raj> sources
[18:46] <LjL> raj: then you have the backports enabled
[18:46] <Monkeypaws> im tryin to input a mjpeg http stream from an ip camera and output to something apache can stream.  Is VLC what i need or is there a better way?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: yes just remove the file and reboot :)
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | raj
[18:47] <raj> where can I see a list of ubuntu backports online?
[18:47] <LjL> raj: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric-backports/
[18:50] <grubbyone> what's the best tool to use to do a complete backup of a server to another hard drive?
[18:50] <reisio> from the running server?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: there is no single best tool for anything in any OS
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> !backup
[18:51] <reisio> sure there is
[18:51] <grubbyone> ok, well I have a fresh installation, the first command I want to run is to backup the entire disk, including the mbr
[18:51] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: dd Erro input/output
[18:51] <slipttees> =/
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: dd_rescue will keep going
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: sounds like a bad drive
[18:51] <reisio> grubbyone: why the mbr
[18:52] <grubbyone> I want to be able to restore the disk image
[18:52] <slipttees> ActionParsnip:  :-(
[18:53] <reisio> you can save a lot of time by just making a cp/rsync of the filesystem, possibly the mbr, and the partition table
[18:53] <reisio> if you really want an "image", though, read http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html
[18:54] <grubbyone> I want to be able to boot from a stick and restore the drive to a brand new fresh state if I mess anything up
[18:54] <grubbyone> I will probably mess things up quite a bit
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: you can reinstate grub from livecd
[18:55] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, kde is really good..
[18:56] <zykotick9> grubbyone: learning to fix issues, rather then reinstalling - is the first step to getting a lot better on gnu/linux
[18:56] <ubukou> ActionParsnip,  takes me a little time to find things but better that unity
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: its good to try new things :)
[18:56] <grubbyone> I know, I just want the option, in case I suspect the machine has been compromised
[18:57] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, that depends.
[18:57] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, hahahahahahah
[18:57] <ubukou> folks what is the command to see what drivers your VGA is running ?
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver
[18:58] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, cool.. im having an issue with compiz.. it runs but it is very choppy..
[18:59] <zykotick9> ubukou: if you don't have lshw installed, you can use "lspci -vnvn" then find the VGA section, OR check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, configuration: driver=fglrx_pci latency=0
[19:00] <grubbyone> is there a built in tool to zero out free space?
[19:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, i dont think that was it.. there is a command that gives another output..
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: use dd
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: then you are using the proprietary driver
[19:01] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, hmmmm..
[19:01] <zykotick9> grubbyone: ActionParsnip's dd command would be for an empty partition, not just free space on an active partition
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: i believe bleachbit can do it
[19:02] <grubbyone> ok, basically I just want to make a direct copy of an entire disk, but not have it take up 120 gigs, so I want to compress what's not in use
[19:02] <surskitty> my kernel logs are between 1.3gb to 1.7gb each and this is only for a span of about two weeks.  apparently the workaround I found to get my wireless card gets it so it logs multiple times a second that the wireless card exists.  how do I get it to not do that?
[19:02] <DinoMuffin> grubbyone: it would help to know why you would need to do this
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: partimage can make a disk image and compress it
[19:03] <surskitty> better yet, just get the log to NOT SAY THE SAME THING A BILLION TIMES
[19:03] <grubbyone> so if I'm on the other side of the world, I can tell someone to "insert this usb stick and type this command" to restore the system
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: sure, why not?
[19:04] <zykotick9> grubbyone: you "might" want to check out the clonezilla livecd
[19:05] <Mixxit> hey all
[19:05] <reisio> grubbyone: but depending on what device/configuration they have, including the mbr could be unhelpful :p
[19:05] <Mixxit> most stuff is working now but wondering about my g15 keyboard
[19:05] <Mixxit> how can i get this going i found an article on the wiki but its for ubuntu 9
[19:06] <grubbyone> it's the same system, I'm not restoring the image to a different system
[19:06]  * zykotick9 thinks drive image backups are a waste of space, save config files and personal documents - reinstall then replace configs and files
[19:06] <reisio> grubbyone: honestly just make a tar of the unmounted system, and include a script or instructions to install/reconfig the partitions, filesystems, and grub
[19:07] <xcyclist> As of my most recent login, my audio has stopped working on my 11.10 64 bit system.  It was working find yesterday.  The output setting always says "Dummy".
[19:07] <kubanc> i get errors composite sync not supported, and the X server doesn't start fully. I have ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400. Any ideas hot to solve it?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: if you run:  xev     do the keys make events?
[19:08] <Mixxit> they do
[19:08] <jonko> donating to be run securely on smart cards and similar ActionParsnip devices
[19:08] <grubbyone_> is it not way simpler to just do dd if=/restore.img of=/dev/hda
[19:08] <Mixxit> oh wow it just skipped my track
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: then use either ccsm or the keyboard settings to assign commands to them
[19:08] <jonko> 7 either
[19:08] <Mixxit> yay!
[19:10] <ubukou> how do i deactivate proprietary driver in kubuntu ?  i activated it in ubuntu but now i cant find the option under KDE
[19:10] <holstein> ubukou: should be similar.. depends on where you got it, but you can just remove the driver... uninstall
[19:11] <zykotick9> grubbyone_: hda?  What is it 2001 again ;)
[19:11] <xcyclist> Hopping back out.  Looks like the group is way too busy today.
[19:11] <ubukou> holstein, will that activate the opensource driver automaticaly?
[19:11] <grubbyone_> zykotick9: yeah I don't know, please enlighten me
[19:11] <grubbyone_> last time I did this stuff was probably 2001
[19:11] <zykotick9> grubbyone_: everything should be sda these days
[19:11] <holstein> ubukou: the open one didnt go anywhere.. again, it depends on which driver and how you installed it...
[19:11] <grubbyone_> ah yeah, that's what I meant
[19:12] <zykotick9> grubbyone_: even IDE drives should show as SCSI (sd) i mean
[19:12] <jonko> universzykotick9l ide with super powers yeah
[19:12] <ubukou> holstein, i activated the fglrx driver in ubuntu but i swiched to kde
[19:12] <ubukou> holstein, thing is i am running compiz successfully
[19:12] <jonko> hmm, one more thing
[19:13] <holstein> ubukou: cool.. you can just uninstall it as you choose...
[19:13] <ubukou> holstein, but it is really choppy and it freezes a lot
[19:13] <holstein> ubukou: yeah, just depends on what driver and where you got it from
[19:13] <ubukou> holstein, should i boot unity and go deactivate it from there?
[19:13] <holstein> sometiems you can get newer ones from the site
[19:13] <jonko> i don't get better when you reboot, the free encyclopedia
[19:13] <holstein> ubukou: you can.. however you want... that will remever the driver as i am suggesting

[19:19] <foormea> hey. i'm getting kinda confused over ubuntu's handling of init scripts. a while ago there was a mix between sysv-rc style and upstart style. but with 11.10 it looks like all scripts in /etc/init.d are sysv-rc style?
[19:19] <kubanc> anyone knows what should be the problem. I randomly got error composite sync not supported when i would like to have split screen (LCD and TV) on my Dell notebook. I'm using ATI mobility radeon X1400

[19:43] <ubukou> anybody knows the proper way to remove the ati driver and re-enable the open source driver? i used   sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* and it resulted in failure.. had to reanable  it so i could boot gui..
[19:45] <zykotick9> ubukou: (just a guess), but after you remove the ATI driver, you probably have to move xorg.conf to a different name.
[19:45] <ubukou> zykotick9, hmm you think xorg.conf was trying to load fglrx?
[19:46] <zykotick9> ubukou: yes i do
[19:46] <ubukou> zykotick9, any reconfigure commands?
[19:47] <zykotick9> ubukou: just move it to a different name, xorg shouldn't be required for "open" drivers (ATI's open driver still relies on proprietary firmware - so i don't consider it open)
[19:47] <GiB_> Understandable, I was just reading the rules and it said something about topics. Anyways, recently got my computer today, installed compiz via the terminal. Since then when I log in using the 3D version the I no longer have a side dock or functionallity of top bar. At this point, seeing as how I have no data on this system yet, I would like to revert it back to its fresh out the box state.
[19:47] <damo22> does ubuntu 11.04 server auto mount usb drives?
[19:48] <zykotick9> damo22: if you haven't install a GUI - then NO
[19:48] <sudipta> chat.freenode.net
[19:48] <damo22> i need a way to write some files to a full OS
[19:48] <damo22> i have 8kb of free space
[19:49] <damo22> can i write a c program that runs a command as root without the root password?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> damo22: uninstall unused kernels to free up space
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> damo22: run it with sudo.
[19:49] <ubukou> zykotick9, according to some folks over at #ati it does..
[19:49] <damo22> i dont have access to an account with admin rights
[19:50] <ubukou> zykotick9, ohhh sorry misread what you wrote...
[19:50] <damo22> i just have console access to 8kb of space
[19:50] <damo22> and a c compiler
[19:50] <ubukou> zykotick9, according to them the open source dirver tho can support compiz and dual screens
[19:50] <raj> can I locally mount a remote drive I have access to via ssh/sftp ?
[19:50] <ubukou> zykotick9, any expirience on that ?
[19:50] <raj> and is this a safe idea?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> damo22: you can add the command to the sudoers file, it will not need password for sudo (you may need to still be in the admin group)
[19:50] <zykotick9> ubukou: no personal experience no, i avoid ATI

[19:52] <tigrang> Ok so Using synclient -m 100 Im looking at the pressure of my finger. Looks like what I want the min to be to start moving cursor is around 20-25. I set PressureMotionMinZ to 1 and restarted. Doing synclient -l I can see it is set. Now when I do synclient -m 100 again and monitor as I move, it only moves after about 30 pressure.

[19:58] <ubukou> anyone knows how i can install radeon/mesa drivers ?
[19:59] <grubbyone_> ok, I'm in a livecd, how do I copy the entire filesystem from /dev/sda?
[19:59] <root_z> how i can fix cursor size with compiz enabled?
[20:00] <heinz> grubbyone_: dd if=/def/sda of=youroutput.file
[20:00] <Ashii> anyone know a tool to set/manipulate title, name, class of window?
[20:00] <grubbyone_> heinz: that will copy the entire drive, I don't have that kind of space
[20:00] <heinz> grubbyone_: more likely you need sda1, though
[20:00] <grubbyone_> I want to just get the files
[20:00] <grubbyone_> non of the unused space

[20:13] <shovell> how can i remove a quick launch icon
[20:13] <shovell> in ubuntu 11.10
[20:14] <blitz> right click it shovell ?
[20:15] <shovell> that gines properties
[20:15] <ubukou> can anyone confim this? Vesa = generic driver  Mesa = opensource fglrx = binary?
[20:15] <blitz> right click the icons in the actual quick launch area shovell
[20:15] <mellifera> Vesa = generic driver, if your video card has got it
[20:16] <blitz> should get the keep in launcher icon
[20:16] <blitz> option*
[20:16] <shovell> blitz yes it gives me launch or properties
[20:16] <ubukou> mellifera, vesa is the driver that runs when you initialy install ubuntu then ?
[20:17] <blitz> idk what to tell you then, I don't get either of those options, I get keep in launcher
[20:17] <mellifera> ubukou: not sure. never checked
[20:17] <distatica> Hi folks, I installed DenyHosts on my ubuntu server and now whenever I connect I get put in the deny.hosts file. I can remove myself from that file and login just fine but then disconnect and try again and it's blocked again. Any ideas why that might be?
[20:18] <auronandace> ubukou: i think vesa only gets loaded as a fallback option if no other driver is used and if the card supports vesa
[20:18] <mellifera> ubukou: probably either vesa or plain-vga for the beginning of install
[20:18] <ubukou> auronandace, thats what i understand too...
[20:19] <ubukou> anyone has compiz running with mesa ?
[20:19] <dale__> How do you disable fast user switching? Configuration Editor does not work for this.
[20:19] <ZynuiMaiche> Hello!  I have kind of an odd question...I'm trying to install the Java jdk on a USB using my netbook which has ubuntu on it, but I want the jdk to be usable for a Windows computer.  Is this possible?
[20:20] <dRounse> iceroot: last night when i tried 12.04 it said something like "No UI configruation"
[20:21] <auronandace> ubukou: compiz requires 3d acceleration and mesa alone won't get you that
[20:21] <mellifera> ubukou: at http://mesa3d.org, they say they are opensource
[20:21] <dRounse> anyone know what "No UI configuration" means?
[20:22] <root_z> how i can fix cursor size with compiz enabled?
[20:22] <ubukou> mellifera, damn this is so confusing.. some people write that they have compiz running with opensource driver... could there be some other opensource driver that i am no aware of ?
[20:23] <ZynuiMaiche> dRounse: what gave you that error?
[20:23] <auronandace> ubukou: mesa works in conjuction with other opensource drivers (like nouvaux or radeon)
[20:24] <dRounse> ZynuiMaiche: installing 12.04 on a gateway with a P$
[20:24] <ubukou> so i should install both ?
[20:24] <dRounse> p4*
[20:24] <ZynuiMaiche> from a CD or a USB?
[20:24] <mellifera> ubukou: maybe they mean opensource videocard driver? Some linux drivers aren't opensource. For example, for nvidia cards there is both an opensource and a non-opensource driver
[20:24] <ubukou> auronandace, so i should install both ?
[20:24] <auronandace> ubukou: both of what?
[20:24] <xangua> !pangolin | dRounse
[20:25] <ubukou> auronandace, both libg11-mesa-dri         libg11-mesa-glx   and radeon driver...?
[20:25] <auronandace> ubukou: yes, if you use a radeon card
[20:25] <ZynuiMaiche> dRounse: sorry I'm not sure what you mean by a "P$"
[20:26] <dRounse> ubottu: i tried with other distros someone told me last night that i should try 12.04 because they fixed a lot of things
[20:26] <dale__> How do you disable fast user switching? Configuration Editor does not work for this.
[20:26] <dRounse> ZynuiMaiche: sorry i meant P4
[20:26] <ubukou> auronandace, ok i ll check it out... shouldnt the mesa driver install the radeon as a dependency?
[20:26] <allure> I need a hand with iptables and squid. I have them on different boxes and I am forwarding port 80 on the gateway for 3128 on  que squid box. It works, but I can only see the gateway's IP on the log files. Relevant rules: http://pastebin.com/PhJFej6p  Could anyone give me a hand?
[20:26] <tbocs> radeon ... ah ... that one got me. Is radeon driver already fixed?
[20:26] <auronandace> ubukou: other way around
[20:26] <ZynuiMaiche> sorry dude gotta go good luck though
[20:27] <ubukou> auronandace, hmmm ..
[20:27] <ubukou> auronandace, how can i check if i have radeon ?
[20:27] <dRounse> im gonna update the BIOS
[20:27] <tbocs> if you have another intel video card alongside, you can force using it ... in modprobe
[20:28] <auronandace> ubukou: there is a way yes, but i'm not sure (i got a nvidia card)
[20:28] <mellifera> ubukou: do you know what kind of video card you have?
[20:28] <ubukou> auronandace, good choice :P
[20:28] <tbocs> ubukou, lspci ...
[20:28] <tbocs> ubukou, lspci is the command
[20:28] <ubukou> mellifera, i got a R600 hd3850
[20:28] <shovell> blitz i am sorry i am using the gnome desktop
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> ubukou  type lshw -C display
[20:28] <mellifera> ubukou: that soungs like a Radeon to me
[20:29] <ubukou> mellifera, it is :)
[20:29] <tbocs> mellifera, yea it's a radeon
[20:29] <ubukou> mellifera, ohh im talking about a radeon package...
[20:29] <tbocs> ubukou, do you have an intel alongside by chance?
[20:29] <tbocs> ubukou, well try lspci | grep radeon
[20:29] <ubukou> mellifera, hmmm intel ? onboard?
[20:29] <ubukou> tbocs, intel onboard?
[20:30] <tbocs> ubukou, some computers has intel graphics card and a dedicated card at the same time
[20:30] <tbocs> right?
[20:30] <ubukou> tbocs, lspci | grep radeon gives no output...
[20:30] <tbocs> ubukou, then lspci | grep Radeon
[20:30] <tbocs> it's case sensitive, lol
[20:31] <ubukou> sudo lshw -C display | grep driver gives fglrx..
[20:31] <ubukou> but i just purged it and installed mesa.
[20:31] <tbocs> works on my computer with "R" in Radeon
[20:31] <ubukou> havent rebooted yet.
[20:31] <ubukou> "R"?
[20:31] <ubukou> hhhh :P
[20:31] <ubukou> ohhhh :P
[20:32] <tbocs> ubukou, "Radeon"
[20:32] <tbocs> yea
[20:32] <tbocs> capitalized
[20:32] <ubukou> r679pro
[20:32] <ubukou> tbocs, R670PRO hd3850 ?
[20:32] <tbocs> yeah .
[20:32] <tbocs> that is a Radeon
[20:32] <ubukou> tbocs, i didnt get the R the first time ..
[20:32] <mellifera> ubukou: if you want to be sure you are using the radeon driver, you could specify that in your xorg config file (in /etc/x11)

[20:34] <cartoonbarsmars> okay thanks, but i have a short time frame to doing something for somebody and i was wondering as far as booting from a cd goes, will i be able to do that just fine like on a toshiba
[20:35] <mellifera> cartoonbarsmars: trying it wouldbe the fastest way to see if it boots
[20:35] <tbocs> I don't know if flgrx will work. It doesn't work on my machine. you can try using the ATI proprietary driver
[20:36] <theadmin> tbocs: fglrx *is* the propertiary driver.
[20:36] <theadmin> I... think
[20:37] <theadmin> And yeah, I'm right
[20:37] <ratcheer> theadmin: Yes, that is correct
[20:37] <tbocs> thanks, theadmin ...
[20:38] <raj> what's the package that pastebin's CL output?
[20:38] <pirat> xcv
[20:38] <raj> i have it and forget what it is
[20:38] <pirat> xcv
[20:38] <pirat> xcvx
[20:38] <pirat> xvc
[20:38] <pirat> xv
[20:38] <FloodBot1> pirat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:38] <mellifera> can windows tell the difference between a file written by linux using ntfs-3g and any normal windows/ntfs file?
[20:38] <xangua> raj: pastebinit i believe
[20:38] <raj> yeahh
[20:38] <raj> thanks
[20:39] <pirat> hello people ))
[20:39] <zykotick9> mellifera: if it's a text file, yes.  The newlines are handled differently.
[20:40] <mellifera> zykotick9: what if it's not a text file?
[20:40] <zykotick9> mellifera: they "should" be the same
[20:40] <pirat> how a you?
[20:41] <zykotick9> pirat: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[20:41] <theadmin> mellifera: Nah they're the same, but Windows doesn't like Unicode so if the name is, say, Cyrillic Windows might display it as some complete mess. Same goes for text file content.
[20:43] <theadmin> raj: wgetpaste also works well.
[20:44] <Guest63529> hello. When I turn on my laptop running Ubuntu it says *starting MTA
[20:44] <Guest63529> Does that mean Mail transfer agent?
[20:44] <mellifera> usually
[20:44] <Guest63529> mellifera: I never installed any MTA
[20:44] <ubukou> auronandace, seems like when ubuntu is about to start it turns off  both screens and it stays there .. only thing that make the gui boot is apt-get install fglrx*
[20:44] <Guest63529> mellifera: how do I turn it off and why does it say now
[20:44] <Guest63529> when it never said it before.
[20:45] <TGIBT> I managed to install with nomodeset... I do get same problem with graphic driver when i just restart... Any solutions?
[20:45] <mellifera> "sendmail" counts as a MTA, and it's sort of needed
[20:45] <alexdevillx> Hi guys
[20:45] <auronandace> ubukou: when you say gui are you refering to any specific desktop? or does it not even make it to lightdm?
[20:46] <alexdevillx> I have a problem i dont know english well so can anybody give me an answer why i get this error  (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts) Error: HTS_Model_load_pdf: Failed to load header of pdfs.
[20:47] <mellifera> alexdevillx: are you sure it's really a pdf file, and not just called ".pdf"?
[20:47] <ubukou> auronandace, nope... :S
[20:47] <r3d0ctob3r> Hi guys ! I have a problem with my "apt-get"... And a old proxy I got. I deleted it, clean my /etc/apt/apt.conf file... and the console keep saying I cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:8118. Nobody knows about it please ?
[20:48] <ubukou> auronandace, it should at least crash trying to load lightdm right ? instead screens go out of range.
[20:48] <auronandace> ubukou: so you can't even get to the login manager?
[20:48] <zykotick9> mellifera: the error appears to be in connection with Festival, not PDFs
[20:48] <ubukou> auronandace, right
[20:48] <theadmin> r3d0ctob3r: Check the gnome's proxy settings as well as the $PROXY variable
[20:48] <auronandace> ubukou: wow, thats bad
[20:48] <ubukou> auronandace, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch check this out and tell me what you think
[20:48] <auronandace> ubukou: seems like you're stuck with using fglrx
[20:49] <mellifera> r3d0ctob3r: 127.0.0.1 should be your loopback interface, and should work on any port if your networking is configured correctly
[20:49] <ubukou> auronandace, search for need to purge
[20:49] <alexdevillx> mellifera its a TTS. Voice synth. I'm trying to make GlaDOS's voice
[20:49] <r3d0ctob3r> I checked it. It is "direct connection to Internet", I apply this setting to the entire system with the butto
[20:49] <r3d0ctob3r> button
[20:50] <ubukou> alexdevillx, i have glados kernel running on my nexus .. is that the same :P :)
[20:50] <theadmin> alexdevillx: Check http://glados.biringa.com , other than that I can't suggest anything which sounds even remotely similar
[20:50] <mellifera> r3d0ctob3r: net packets for 127.0.0.1 should never leave your machine
[20:50] <TGIBT> What to do after install with nomodeset, i dont what to do next
[20:50] <alexdevillx> I had puted my text at quee
[20:50] <theadmin> alexdevillx: The system is currently down, but it has instructions
[20:50] <alexdevillx> I cant install
[20:51] <alexdevillx> getting this hell error  it's really a pdf file, and not just called ".pdf"?
[20:51] <iwoj> does anyone know how I could test my parallel port without hooking it up to a printer?
[20:51] <alexdevillx> no no
[20:51] <auronandace> ubukou: sorry i can't help
[20:51] <TGIBT> What to do after install with nomodeset, i dont what to do next
[20:52] <r3d0ctob3r> mellifera I know. But I seek for the why apt-get redirect my commands to localhost but I dont find it. Indeed, I do everything I know... I used to use privoxy before I had this problem
[20:52] <ubukou> auronandace, im running compiz right now .. you should see how bad it looks..
[20:52] <ubukou> auronandace, its ok ;)
[20:52] <iwoj> gnome3 looks awesome.
[20:52] <iwoj> any thoughts on testing a parallel port?
[20:52] <alexdevillx> Ok, so i'll give a link with instructions http://glados.biringa.com/ go to the how the voice is generated. So i go (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts) in Festival through command prompt and at (SayText "I'm your master") a Error: HTS_Model_load_pdf: Failed to load header of pdfs.
[20:53] <mellifera> iwoj: you have no printer?
[20:53] <iwoj> mellifera: no printer : (
[20:53] <iwoj> mellifera: I'm trying to test a home-made CNC machine.
[20:54] <iwoj> mellifera: the problem could be the machine or the parallel port set-up.
[20:54] <iwoj> mellifera: I need to test the port first.
[20:54] <mellifera> iwoj: not too easy to test the port when you have nothing to test it with
[20:54] <tigrang> Ok so Using synclient -m 100 Im looking at the pressure of my finger. Looks like what I want the min to be to start moving cursor is around 20-25. I set PressureMotionMinZ to 1 and restarted. Doing synclient -l I can see it is set. Now when I do synclient -m 100 again and monitor as I move, it only moves after 30+ pressure. What can I do?
[20:55] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I CTRL+ALT+F2'd my way into a terminal and upgraded all packages, so I should be completely up to date. Going into "Ubuntu 2D" works but isn't what I need. Any thoughts?
[20:55] <alexdevillx> How to generate glados voice?
[20:56] <TGIBT> Nvm, found it
[20:56] <theadmin> xj88: You need your graphics driver
[20:56] <lorenzo> hi, i am following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router to set my ubuntu machine as a router. One thing I do not understand: when I set the internal network interface (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router#Configuring_the_Internal_Network_Interfaces) what addresses should I put in? Thanks
[20:56] <alexdevillx> theadmin, Hello There
[20:56] <theadmin> alexdevillx: Uh, hi.
[20:56] <xj88> theadmin: How to get it?
[20:57] <alexdevillx> theadmin< Ok, so i'll give a link with instructions http://glados.biringa.com/ go to the how the voice is generated. So i go (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts) in Festival through command prompt and at (SayText "I'm your master") a Error: HTS_Model_load_pdf: Failed to load header of pdfs
[20:57] <theadmin> xj88: Log in to unity2d and from there search for an app called "Hardware Drivers". Run that, it should find the appropriate ones.
[20:57] <mellifera> lorenzo: your "inside" address, like (for example) 10.0.0.1
[20:57] <xj88> theadmin: I'll give that a shot. Regardless of whether or not it works, thanks for helping. =)
[20:58] <lorenzo> the one I get from iwconfig ath0 (ath0 is my internal network interface)
[20:59] <theadmin> alexdevillx: I'm not familiar with speech synthesis honestly -- I just gave you a possible solution. I have no idea how to work it
[20:59] <lorenzo> mellifera, I have an address for my cabled connection going to the outside (eth0), but I cannot see any address for ath0 which is my internal network interface
[20:59] <r3d0ctob3r> I ask my question again : I installed Privoxy few weeks ago, then uninstalled it. It seems to change my network settings... When I run a "apt-get update", I'm said that He cant download from 127.0.0.1:8118 ; however I uninstalled this proxy server, I changed my setting from system preference (dirrect connection to internet), /etc/apt/apt.conf is empty . What is going wrong ?
[20:59] <mellifera> lorenzo: if your outside interface is eth0, your inside interface would be eth1
[21:00] <lorenzo> mellifera, ifconfig shows no eth1
[21:00] <alexdevillx> theadmin< ok
[21:00] <vandal-> is it posible to change character written by pressing Del on keypad? its , by default in polish setup, i would love to set it to . (dot)
[21:00] <alexdevillx> theadmin how long it will take to make my speech
[21:00] <mellifera> lorenzo: have you configured it with ethtool?
[21:00] <theadmin> alexdevillx: No idea as well -- if you mean the site itself then it's currently overloaded so it can take quite some time
[21:00] <lorenzo> mellifera nope, just following the guide I linked
[21:01] <mellifera> lorenzo: both interfaces need to be configured
[21:01] <lorenzo> mellifera, I was gonna use a cabled connection to connect to the internet, and keep the inside network wireless
[21:02] <mellifera> lorenzo: even if the inside interface is wireless, it still needs to be configured
[21:02] <lorenzo> mellifera, configured how?
[21:02] <lorenzo> mellifera, i set it to master mode with iwconfig
[21:02] <mellifera> lorenzo: the same way you configured eth0
[21:03] <xj88> theadmin: I found "Additional Drivers" but all it's coming up with is a software modem. How to find the graphics drivers?
[21:03] <lorenzo> mellifera, I did not configure eth0 honestly, I think i am missing something here. can you help please?
[21:03] <theadmin> xj88: Hm, okay, what is your graphics card?
[21:03] <r3d0ctob3r> I went ahead. I type "env | grep proxy" in console, I was returned : http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ ftp_proxy=ftp://127.0.0.1:8118/ https_proxy=https://127.0.0.1:8118/ ; am I just supposed to delete them ?
[21:03] <xj88> theadmin: Checking.
[21:03] <alexdevillx> theadmin< why?
[21:04] <theadmin> alexdevillx: That's offtopic here, and anyway, this isn't an Ubuntu question at all honestly
[21:04] <alexdevillx> theadmin lets join #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:04] <theadmin> alexdevillx: Nah... I'm going to sleep now
[21:05] <kingfarvito> does anyone know of an application that will let me resize rename and move my photos to a folder of my choosing?
[21:05] <staminna> hey guys, I have run out of space in the ext2 boot ( /boot ) partition and I have to remove the previous kernel images before the installing the 3.0.0.15. What is the name of the package to boot from?
[21:05] <mellifera> gimp
[21:06] <xj88> theadmin: Looks like a Intel GMA 950
[21:06] <mellifera> kingfarvito: gimp
[21:06] <kingfarvito> well I'd like to do it without having to open them individually
[21:06] <mellifera> imagemagick
[21:07] <kingfarvito> f-spot is almost what I want but it wont let me rename and it adds a folder called gallery inside all my folders
[21:08] <kingfarvito> I installed imagemagick but now I cant find it
[21:09] <lorenzo> mellifera, how do i configure ath0?
[21:09] <mellifera> lorenzo: you don't. linux needs you to configure eth1
[21:09] <r3d0ctob3r> How can I delete the valu of proxy variable ? ( env | grep proxy )
[21:10] <lorenzo> mellifera, so how do i do that?
[21:10] <mellifera> lorenzo: something must have configured eth0 for you
[21:10] <xj88> theadmin: Looks like it's an Intel GMA 950 graphics processor.
[21:10] <theadmin> xj88: I see... Well the intel drivers should be in the repos, dunno
[21:11] <lorenzo> mellifera, i suppose I did somehow along the process described in the Router guide on help.ubuntu.com
[21:11] <mellifera> lorenzo: so configure eth1 next
[21:12] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: unset proxy
[21:12] <lorenzo> mellifera, something like this? auto eth1
[21:12] <lorenzo> iface eth1 inet static
[21:12] <lorenzo>     address 192.168.0.1
[21:12] <lorenzo>     network 192.168.0.0
[21:12] <lorenzo>     netmask 255.255.255.0
[21:12] <FloodBot1> lorenzo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:12] <lorenzo>     broadcast 192.168.0.255
[21:13] <mellifera> lorenzo: that sounds good
[21:14] <lorenzo> mellifera, so i put that into my /etc/network/interfaces, do I need to configure ath0 next?
[21:14] <xj88> theadmin: Do you know of a way to force a reload of the drivers, maybe?
[21:14] <theadmin> xj88: No, sorry, I'm off
[21:14] <mellifera> lorenzo: all you need to configure is eth0 and eth1
[21:15] <xj88> Balls.
[21:15] <lorenzo> mellifera, and will I be able to connect a client via wifi that way?
[21:15] <mellifera> lorenzo: ath0 is eth1
[21:15] <mellifera> lorenzo: hopefully, if the gods of wifi smile upon you
[21:16] <Jessicatz> Why does my .bashrc in my home directory keep disappearing since yesterday?
[21:16] <Gentoo64> Jessicatz, no idea
[21:16] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert It stays there.. unset proxy doesnt change anything. If I type "env | grep proxy" I keep having "*_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118", and obviously apt-get doesnt work ... :/
[21:17] <lorenzo> mellifera, do i just restart and try to connecT?
[21:18] <mellifera> lorenzo: if you've done all the rest of the routing configuration, sure
[21:18] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: of course, you have to use the variable name in the unset statement :)
[21:18] <lorenzo> mellifera, restarting networking tells me "eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
[21:18] <lorenzo> mellifera, do I need to create that?
[21:19] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert Oh ok :$ I try it, thanks
[21:19] <mellifera> lorenzo: you showed us all a bunch opf lines indicating that it ws already created
[21:20] <lorenzo> mellifera, well I thought so too, I added that to interfaces. I don't understand. How can I understand what I got wrong?
[21:20] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert Yeaah it works ! But it is a variable. So if I reboot my computer... Would I to unset *_proxy variable everytime ?
[21:21] <mellifera> lorenzo: reboot, then see what dmesg says you've got for net interfaces
[21:21] <motherbrain> is their any free finger print scanning software and retina/iris scanning software that I can apt-get for ubuntu and other linux distro's?
[21:22] <lorenzo> mellifera, ok I will
[21:22] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: the variable is probaly set in either /etc/bashrc  or /etc/profile  or ~/.bashrc
[21:22] <Sid0035> any one notice that the pygame deb is not working in ubuntu support center?
[21:23] <r3d0ctob3r> ok, try to find it

[21:24] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert noo, it is not. :-
[21:24] <r3d0ctob3r> :-(
[21:24] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I CTRL+ALT+F2'd my way into a terminal and upgraded all packages, so I should be completely up to date. Going into "Ubuntu 2D" works but isn't what I need. Any thoughts?
[21:25] <Sid0035> i have my scrip done at least lol but now i need the program i have the python 3.x stuff
[21:25] <Slart> Sid0035: and it seems to be "working" on my system.. whatever "working" is supposed to mean
[21:25] <lorenzo> mellifera, pastebin.com/PQY7en5Y - I cant see eth1

[21:25] <ActionParsnip> xj88: what video chip do you use?
[21:25] <grubbyone_> I thought these SSDs were supposed to be blazing fast
[21:26] <xj88> ActionParsnip: Looks like it's an Intel GMA 950 graphics processor.
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> xj88: get fully updated in ubnity2D, may help
[21:27] <xj88> ActionParsnip: Tried that first. =)

[21:32] <mellifera> lorenzo: you need to configure your atheros wifi as an eth1. I'd love to help you further, but I don't have a wifi to experiment with
[21:34] <nach8> hello
[21:35] <grubbyone> ok, lets say I zero out the entire drive, then install ubuntu server, then make a compressed dd image of the drive, how big will the image be? is there anything else I can do to make it smaller?
[21:37] <ikonia> grubbyone: the image will be the size of the drive, you can compress it after you've made it
[21:37] <lorenzo> mellifera, ok. Thank you very much for your help. Can you direct me to a guide/howto maybe? The guide I was using does not mention that
[21:37] <grubbyone> right, I'm trying to eliminate random data from the drive so the compressed image can be as small as possible
[21:38] <grubbyone> is this the best method?
[21:38] <ikonia> grubbyone: not going to happen with dd
[21:38] <ikonia> grubbyone: dd is block for block copy - white space or datsa
[21:38] <ikonia> data
[21:38] <grubbyone> right, I'm making an image of the drive, where all the unused space should be zeros
[21:38] <grubbyone> am I missing something?
[21:38] <ikonia> grubbyone: dd will copy the zeros - zeros is data,
[21:39] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert Ok no, nothing... :/
[21:39] <grubbyone> right, but when compressed, it should be inconsequential
[21:39] <gaelle_> hello, i just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Sadly i lost my wireless connection after the upgrade. Any pointers on how to make wireless networks work again? (im using cable now)
[21:39] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert I reconnect, I go on my no-root session
[21:39] <ikonia> grubbyone: you can compress it post creating the image, it will still be a big image
[21:39] <grubbyone> so what should I do differently to get the smallest image size possible?
[21:39] <ikonia> grubbyone: nothing, you won't with dd
[21:40] <ikonia> grubbyone: dd is block for block copy, nothing will change that
[21:40] <grubbyone> ok
[21:40] <grubbyone> so what should I do differently
[21:40] <grubbyone> I'm open
[21:40] <grubbyone> to anything
[21:40] <ikonia> grubbyone: not using dd would be a method, however I don't believe in the "image" tools for linux
[21:40] <r3d0ctob3r> right back
[21:40] <grubbyone> ikonia: what to use then?
[21:40] <ratcheer> gaelle_: What is your wireless hardware?
[21:41] <grubbyone> ikonia: I want to put a full drive backup on a USB stick
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: I don't make "images"
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: how big is your drive ?
[21:41] <grubbyone> ikonia: 120GB
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: how big is your usb ?
[21:41] <grubbyone> ikonia: 8GB
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: that seems unlikly
[21:42] <rypervenche> grubbyone: What will you be using the image for?
[21:42] <grubbyone> ikonia: why would 3 gigs of data+ 117GB of zeroes be more than 5GB compressed?
[21:42] <ikonia> grubbyone: because zeros is still data
[21:42] <ikonia> grubbyone: if you believe it will work, do it
[21:42] <yellowlantern> what's the best way to add a simple script to startup (Ubuntu 10.04 and up) that just generates HOST SSH keys if they don't exists. It's not a service, just a script. Thank you.
[21:42] <grubbyone> ikonia: I'm just looking for a solution
[21:43] <ikonia> grubbyone: you have found one, you think it will work, do it
[21:43] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: Make a script, throw it somewhere like /usr/local/bin/ then add the script to your startup programs.
[21:43] <gaelle_> ratcheer: i'm not sure, i have to find the detailed specs of my laptop
[21:43] <alberto> ciao
[21:44] <yellowlantern> rypervenche that's the part I don't know, what's the right way to add it to startup? is it update-rc.d or by using insserv?
[21:44] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: What desktop environment are you using?
[21:44] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: or even better, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[21:45] <yellowlantern> rypervenche I'm making a couple of Xen templates, from 9.10 all the way to 11.10
[21:46] <ratcheer> gaelle_: See if it shows up in the output of "sudo lspci -v"
[21:46] <yellowlantern> rypervenche the thing about Xen templates and Ubuntu is that on a fresh install I want Ubuntu to generate Host SSH keys, so each user that runs a VM gets a different key
[21:46] <gaelle_> ratcheer: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN
[21:47] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: Ahh, I only know of the GUI method for a system already installed.
[21:47] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Does that same output show a "kernel module in use"?
[21:47] <SolarNRT> Hi guys, I'm sick of itunes and apple. I would like to install ubuntu onto my ipod nano 3rd generation. Do any of you have any idea how I might do this? There isn't exactly a CD drive on it?
[21:48] <gaelle_> ratcheer: only this: "Kernel modules: iwlagn"
[21:48] <gaelle_> ratcheer: nothing about "in use" (other components have this line)
[21:48] <auronandace> !rockbox | SolarNRT
[21:48] <SenorWombat> SolarNRT  - Second the rockbox recommendation.
[21:49] <hex20dec> Does rockbox support sansa? by Sandisk?
[21:49] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Ok, I don't know much about that card, but you can try "sudo modprobe iwlagn". That might bring it up.
[21:49] <SolarNRT> I've tried rockbox, it doesn't support ipod 3g nano. I'm going down the ubuntu path.
[21:49] <hex20dec> It does, thanks a lot guys.
[21:49] <Sid0035> so is dose any one know where i can get an alt down load for pygame since it seems not to work in the software center, also i have the right settings to since it is univers
[21:50] <Sid0035> universe*
[21:50] <gaelle_> ratcheer: interesting, now i get this: "FATAL: Error inserting iwlagn (/lib/modules/3.0.0-15-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" perhaps this will help me further
[21:51] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Yes, that shows what is going wrong. As I said, I don't know much about that one, but at least you can explain to others what is happening. And search on Google, too. Good luck.
[21:52] <gaelle_> ratcheer: its ok, i think i'm on the right track thanks to you now :)
[21:52] <Sid0035> cus right now i just have a basic make of it it said that i need like 4 other dependences
[21:53] <Sid0035> that's why i tryed to get it from the software center so i could get all the dependencys also
[21:55] <SolarNRT> Is it impossible to install ubuntu onto an ipod?
[21:57] <Slart> SolarNRT: impossible is a strong word.. I wouldn't spend to much time trying though.. I'm not even sure what kind of hardware an ipod has
[21:57] <Slart> SolarNRT: this seems more... suitable... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPodLinux
[21:58] <gaelle_> ratcheer: The wifi now loads and shows up in network manager :) just having a problem that the actual connection does not work, but perhaps its just some corrupted network passwords that have been stored
[21:59] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Good. What did you do to get it lo load?
[21:59] <borjj> prueba
[21:59] <amaurea> How do I enable dead keys in ubuntu? After an upgrade, my dead keys suddenly don't work
[22:00] <auronandace> amaurea: it's worse than that, it's dead jim
[22:00] <gaelle_> ratcheer: ages ago i made a custom options file for that driver in the modprobe.d directory. this file now became incompatible and i totaly forgot about it
[22:01] <urlin2u> amaurea, what release and desktop?
[22:01] <akem> hey, is it possible to fix the tearing/vsync issue with compiz on Ubuntu 11.04 ?
[22:02] <samfourai> m
[22:02] <amaurea> urlin2u: 11.10 using gnome-fallback
[22:02] <indystorm> question for you guys- I have setup a samba server. I was wondering if I have a 3tb drive, will I be able to see all of the contents of that drive from a windows XP machine, or am I still limited to the 2tb limitation of Windows?
[22:03] <urlin2u> amaurea, cool that will help you get help, not really an area I'm familiar with. :D
[22:03] <amaurea> urlin2u: The problem does not happen in the console, only in X
[22:03] <wll> i really need some help guys, i accidentally erase an external hd by trying to format a flash drive
[22:03] <wll> what can i do to recover
[22:03] <wll> its my life in there
[22:03] <Slart> wll: there are a few tools.. photorec and testdisk comes to mind
[22:03] <Slart> !recover
[22:04] <auronandace> !undelete | wll
[22:04] <urlin2u> wll, take a look here and be careful. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[22:04] <wll> yes undelete
[22:05] <Estragon> hi
[22:05] <wll> im looking into extundelete but i can get it to work
[22:05] <Estragon> I have multiple issues on my server due to no more disk space
[22:05] <phibxr> Estragon, delete some files?
[22:06] <Estragon> phibxr: yep but I would like to have a "better" partitionning
[22:06] <indystorm> question for you guys- I have setup a samba server. I was wondering if I have a 3tb drive, will I be able to see all of the contents of that drive from a windows XP machine, or am I still limited to the 2tb limitation of Windows?
[22:06] <Estragon> loook : http://pastebin.com/ivBvRkT1
[22:06] <Estragon> I believe Im doing something wrong here
[22:06] <james> hi
[22:06] <urlin2u> wll, was it a t ext type partition?
[22:07] <wll> oh and the hd was formated as ext4
[22:07] <Slart> indystorm: I'm not sure but my guess is that you will be able to access as much data as the host system can access.. ie XP's 2TB limit won't apply in this situation
[22:07] <gh0strider> hey...has anyoe here successfully added the exploit-db to their ubuntu box...i would like to do it with svn but all of the addresses i try get "connection refused" so i was hoping that someone here knew how to do it...?
[22:07] <wll> eurlin2u, xt4
[22:07] <auronandace> Estragon: looks like you need a bigger root partition
[22:07] <wll> ext4
[22:08] <urlin2u> wll, that app looks to be for files not a whole partition so read carefuly.
[22:08] <guntbert> Estragon: start investigating with   sudo du -sh /*
[22:09] <Estragon> auronandace: yep I believe too, is there a simple way to do this ?
[22:09] <wll> urlin2u, any advice?
[22:09] <wll> any app?
[22:09] <Tannn3r> I turned on my computer and selected Ubuntu from the boot menu, and it loads just fine. But, when I move the mouse or try to login, I get a black screen saying "could not write bytes: Broken pipe"
[22:10] <auronandace> Estragon: resize them using a livecd, you aren't even using half of your /home partition, so i'd shrink that
[22:10] <Estragon> auronandace: its on a remote server
[22:10] <Tannn3r> I am dual booting with Windows 7 and I have been using Ubuntu 11.10 since it came out.
[22:11] <urlin2u> wll, never had to do this if you removed the whole partition testdisk is designed to find that partition, and other uses, as far as I know just building a partition can destroy more recovery.
[22:11] <auronandace> Estragon: i have no experience with servers, but you could try fdisk or parted over a ssh session?
[22:11] <MoDDD> hi all
[22:11] <Estragon> additionnaly, if there is a temporary solution (some files to delete) it would be great too
[22:12] <mercutio2> hi, i've been trying to find out about the remote execution vulnerability in php, and whether ubuntu is vulnerable
[22:12] <mercutio2> can't seem to find anything saying that it is, or is not..
[22:12] <zykotick9> Estragon: you might want to check "du -h /var/cache/apt/archives" its downloaded updates (not really required)
[22:12] <mercutio2> anyone have any idea where to look?
[22:12] <suse_guy> What terminal command can I use to find out about all mounted disks and find out if it's /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc or whatever?
[22:12] <auronandace> Estragon: only if you know what's in / and what you can afford to get rid of (older kernels is a safe bet)
[22:13] <zykotick9> suse_guy: "mount" will list what is currently mounted
[22:13] <Slart> suse_guy: cat /etc/mtab   or sudo blkid
[22:13] <Estragon> zykotick9: seems a really good idea, can I delete files in there without risk ?
[22:13] <MoDDD> suse_guy, type mount
[22:13] <suse_guy> Thanks, guys
[22:13] <zykotick9> Estragon: sure, "sudo apt-get clean" should look after it
[22:13] <Tannn3r> Does anyone know what I can do? (posted above)
[22:14] <Estragon> zykotick9: yep, just freed 81Mo :)
[22:14] <urlin2u> Tannn3r, with a google search of that error message I see bugs filed take a look if you can
[22:15] <mongy> Estragon, i tend to put apt-get clean in /etc/rc.local also
[22:15] <mercutio2> mongy: why?
[22:15] <mongy> mercutio2, I dont want to hold debs forever, or at reboot.
[22:15] <mercutio2> i find i use autoclean more than clean
[22:15] <mercutio2> mongy: then make /var/apt/archives on a tmpfs filesystem?
[22:16] <mercutio2> err /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:16] <mongy> mercutio2, have apt-get use my ram when installing?  nah, I'll just have it clean it every boot.   just as simple
[22:16] <MoDDD> mercutio2, have you try with apt-get autoremove?
[22:16] <mercutio2> i dunno hard-disk space is cheap these days
[22:16] <mercutio2> i use apt-get autoclean occassionally..
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> mongy: could run:  sudo apt-get autoclean    and it will clean itself after install.
[22:17] <mercutio2> the problem i find is occasionally you want to retreat to the version of a package that was working
[22:17]  * ActionParsnip has browser cache in tempfs, makes web browser a bit faster
[22:17] <mercutio2> but then i follow unstable branch sometimes
[22:17] <mercutio2> so sometimes the package gets updated and removed from the repository
[22:17] <mongy> ActionParsnip, ugh.. I did not know it did that..
[22:18] <mercutio2> action: ahh i used to do that...
[22:18] <mercutio2> it only really matters for hard-disk, for ssd it's no big diff
[22:18] <mercutio2> what i really want for browser cache is huge read ahead
[22:19] <mercutio2> cos on sata hard-disks seek times are terrible
[22:19] <guntbert> !enter | mercutio2
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: ram also gets used for disk cache which helps browsers too
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: running a local DNS helps things too
[22:20] <orville> hey, i'm using 10.04 lts to run a server and i've installed piwik on it. i need hits to populate my database a smidge, so if you feel like it. click please! http://newlifechapel.thebennettproject.com/media.php
[22:20] <mercutio2> tbh.. on raid 10 on sata disks at work i haven't bothered to try and seperate cache and it's been fine
[22:20] <mercutio2> action: have you seen dnsmasq's --all-servers option?
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> as well as adding this to /etc/sysctl.conf       http://paste.ubuntu.com/828152/
[22:21] <mercutio2> dnsmasq sems a little slow.  but it's got this cool thing where it can query multiple dns servers at once and return fastest result.
[22:21] <orville> i'm also testing streaming media, so if the play buttons don't work _feel_ free to tell me. (should work on mobile too, android >= 2.3 required.)
[22:21] <mercutio2> i just use a proxy server that goes to somewhere with fast dns though
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: I use dnsmasq as a local dns cache on all systems I install
[22:21] <guntbert> orville: don't advertise/solicit  here please
[22:21] <mercutio2> action: in /etc/default/dnsmasq there's an opiotns thing
[22:21] <mercutio2> DNSMASQ_OPTS="--all-servers"
[22:22] <mercutio2> run namebench with / without
[22:22] <mercutio2> assuming you have multipe /etc/resolv.conf entries with good name servers
[22:22] <mercutio2> like your isp dns server, a public one
[22:22] <mercutio2> and maybe something else
[22:23] <mercutio2> i tend to use 8.8.8.8 ... google's dns.. plus isp..
[22:23] <wll> i was using "startup disk  creator" and in the middle of the process i realize that it was my external hd i shut it down, so now it saying the hd is a fat and the files are corrupted
[22:23] <wll> help please
[22:23] <guntbert> !enter > mercutio2
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: yeah ive done name bench,very worth it
[22:23] <wll> the hd is a ext4
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> wll: restore from backup
[22:24] <Tannn3r> urlin2u: Thanks. Unfortunately I have to reinstall but that should be too bad because I backed up recently and I have the disk right in front of me.
 ?
[22:24] <mercutio2> gunt: there are more new lines frmo people coming and leaving?
[22:24] <orville> guntbert: that counts as soliciting?
[22:24] <grubbyone> wll: translation, you're boned
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> wll: I can't phrase it any clearer....
[22:24] <guntbert> mercutio2: you can tell your client to ignore them
[22:25] <grubbyone> wll: depending on what you had on there you can try to use some data recovery software
[22:25] <mercutio2> action" i find having google in addition really seems to help my long distance uncached results.  like for instance undeadly.org which is in the uk and has short tl
[22:25] <guntbert> orville: this is a channel for technical support only
[22:25] <wll> i tried testdisk with no success
[22:26] <ubukou> is there a test that i can run to see the reason why compiz isnt running ?
[22:26] <grubbyone> wll: try photorec
[22:26] <Slart> ubukou: there used to be a compiz testing script.. not sure if it's still updated though
[22:27] <Slart> ubukou: here.. give it a try http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/2008/4/28/Introducing-Compiz-Check--a-script-to-test-and-troubleshoot-your-Compiz-install
[22:27] <grubbyone> oh I guess that's what testdisk is
[22:27] <ubukou> Slart, i believe i runed that ... all was good...
[22:28] <ubukou> Slart, it starts. but it is VERY laggy
[22:28] <Slart> ubukou: that's the only one I've ever seen
[22:28] <ubukou> Slart, a benchmarks would give me anything to work with ?
[22:29] <Slart> ubukou: do you have ccsm installed?
[22:29] <Slart> !ccsm | ubukou
[22:30] <moes> How to start Hal-deamon
[22:30] <macmartine> Anyone know how to change the linux user that a site is created with in ISPConfig?
[22:30] <ubukou> Slart, that was good.. i have that . but ill head to #compiz
[22:30] <ubukou> Slart, thanks
[22:30] <Slart> ubukou: or wait a sec. I seem to remember seeing some kind of benchmark in those settings.. but I can't find it now.
[22:30] <orville> guntbert: ok, allow me to rephrase. is streaming from http://newlifechapel.thebennettproject.com/media.php working when you click on a link? if not, let me know your browser.
[22:31] <Slart> ubukou: do that.. good luck
[22:31] <Oer> moes,  Ubuntu version 10.04 removed HAL from the basic system
[22:31] <moes> Oer, K3b wants me to start it
[22:31] <Wonski> Hi guys
[22:32] <ratcheer> gaelle__: Sorry, I've been away for a few minutes. Yeah, you have to keep up with fixes like that.
[22:32] <ubukou> Slart, running ati or nvidia ?
[22:32] <guntbert> orville: this channel is for ubuntu technical support, your request has nothing to do with ubuntu, so please stop that - I have nothing to allow/disallow btw :)
[22:32] <Wonski> Is it normal that if i want to instal sth i cant write nothing in the password blank?? Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:32] <Slart> ubukou: nvidia
[22:33] <daviddoria> If I do not have a ~/.bash_profile or a ~/.bash_login, and .profile is not being run when I open a terminal, what else could be wrong?
[22:33] <ubukou> Slart, figures :)
[22:33] <Slart> Wonski: how are you installing? command line? synaptic? the gui thing?
[22:34] <orville> guntbert: ah. so the channel is for ubuntu issues, not issues with the software installed on ubuntu?
[22:34] <tiox> Is there a way I could set up print settings on one machine, then transfer them onto another?
[22:34] <nichlas> does anyone know of an ftp client for linux that uses curses/ncurses?
[22:34] <Slart> !ftp
[22:34] <tiox> I ask, because I have a laptop with a broken screen, and I would prefer it if I could use a functioning one so I don't have to take over the only HDMI TV in my house.
[22:35] <nichlas> Slart: thanks for nothing ;-)
[22:35] <zykotick9> nichlas: lftp is cli?
[22:35] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I used "Ubuntu 2D" to make sure that I'm fully updated. My graphics processor is an Intel GMA 950. Any thoughts?
[22:35] <nichlas> not looking for cli, looking for curses.
[22:36] <Slart> nichlas: you're welcome.. <--- see how I put your name in the line when I'm talking to you.. if your name isn't there I'm probably not addressing you =)
[22:36] <guntbert> orville: principally yes, not everything running under ubuntu can be supported here (you wouldn't expect your car manufacturer to support your phone which you connect to the radio in your car, would you?)
[22:36] <zykotick9> nichlas: actually lftp is ncurses ;)  or it depends on it anyway
[22:38] <orville> guntbert: course not. but if i suspect the phone is working because of the charger I bought from him then I'd try to find out if that was the issue.
[22:38] <orville> *phone isn't*
[22:38] <nichlas> zykotick9: other than depends, i haven't found any mentions of lftp actually using curses
[22:39] <zykotick9> nichlas: ya, i was just testing - it doesn't seem very ncurses to me either - sorry
[22:39] <guntbert> orville: I don't want to argue further but nothing in your statement gave any reference to ubuntu
[22:39] <GBGames> I had 10.04 LTS installed on my laptop which was dying, so I got a new laptop and installed 11.10 on it.
[22:39] <GBGames> And Ubuntu is really, really different now.
[22:40] <nichlas> zykotick9: *sigh* until now the only other posibilities than midnight commander and some kind of fuse hack..
[22:40] <phibxr> GBGames, you've got about two years of development separating the versions. :P
[22:41] <zykotick9> nichlas: irssi/identicurses/links2 are curse stuff i use
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> GBGames: Just gnome, the ither DEs are largely the same
[22:42] <orville> guntbert: nothing? not even "hey, i'm using 10.04 lts to run a server and i've installed piwik on it. "?
[22:42] <GBGames> phibxr: Yeah, I realized. I also just got a smartphone to replace a really, really old flip phone, so I feel like I've jumped into the future. B-)
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> GBGames: if you want it to look and feel like Lucid, install xfce4 and use that DE
[22:44] <phibxr> GBGames, welcome. :D
[22:44] <MonkeyDust> xubuntu is nice, i'm planning to use it as default
[22:44] <GBGames> ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll look into it. I guess I feel like I have to use the mouse a lot more.
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> Lubuntu here :)
[22:46] <ratcheer> MonkeyDust: I love the Xubuntu desktop, but I stayed with Ubuntu for the apps.
[22:47] <GBGames> Ok, I figured out how to add Terminal to the launcher.
[22:47] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I used "Ubuntu 2D" to make sure that I'm fully updated. My graphics processor is an Intel GMA 950 which ought to be supported. Any thoughts? (If this is becoming spam just let me know and I'll knock it off for a while).
[22:48] <osmosis> is there a guide on howto make the icon dock in unity not suck?
[22:48] <Slart> xj88: one thing you could check is the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. it has information about what graphics drivers it's using, resolutions and such.. if you use pastebin perhaps someone in the channel will find something
[22:49] <Slart> xj88: if that file doesn't contain anything useful you can also check the syslog in /var/log/syslog for errors or other information
[22:49] <mellifera> I think there's a guide for switching to xubuntu/xfce. that would be one way to stop unity from being annoying
[22:49] <urlin2u> osmosis, yeah install gnome 3.
[22:49] <osmosis> urlin2u, ok
[22:49] <kpas_> .I am not up on the jargon of but when some referernce paste/bin are they referrring to use paste.ubuntu.com
[22:50] <xj88> Slart: Thanks so much for the suggestion. I'll get on that.
[22:50] <osmosis> urlin2u, what about xmonads?
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: Ubuntu 11.10 uses Gnome3 by default...its already installed
[22:50] <urlin2u> osmosis, there is also kubuntu, lubuntu, and xubuntu, and other desktops if unity is afrustration.
[22:51] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, cool baby. :D
[22:51] <overclucker> just swapping out the window manager is probably enough
[22:51] <osmosis> urlin2u, are they easy to try out from my existing install?
[22:52] <ratcheer> osmosis: Just click the gear on your login screen. It will give you several choices. Gnome is gnome-shell, Ubuntu is Unity.
[22:52] <rebe> how do I change terminal to show ":~" when I'm in home instead of "myname@mycomp:~"
[22:53] <urlin2u> osmosis, they all add dektops so there is cross over, I would download the iso's and test that way, if you like one you can install then and remove unity or just leave it depending on what the crossover apps.
[22:53] <ratcheer> rebe: It is an environment variable, PS1
[22:53] <overclucker> rebe: lookup bashrc PS1
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> rebe: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html
[22:53] <osmosis> ok, thx
[22:54] <urlin2u> osmosis, installing multiple dektops like I have mentioned and cleaning up is a bit of a task, just a heads up.
[22:54] <osmosis> figured
[22:54] <testt> hi how to set username,password in ftpd that runs through busybox?
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: I'd try a few, then decide and reinstall with the buntu with the DE you prefer
[22:55] <hiexpo> got a problem here with firefox > a couple days ago i enabled backports to try out firefox 10 and realized it had issues so i removed it and reverted back to 9 well i did and upgrade today and it installed ff 10 again so i checked my software sources and it is normal so i removed ff 10 but it will not revert back in synaptic
[22:55] <testt> busybox comes with ubuntu but i havent been able to make ftpd work
[22:55] <acerimmer> osmosis: or you could do a virtual box and try them all out without risking your primary buntu
[22:55] <urlin2u> hiexpo, FF 10 is released now and in the repos.
[22:56] <hiexpo> urlin2u, erg it just keepscrashing
[22:56] <urlin2u> hiexpo, is FF 9 still in synaptic, if you have synaptic installed?
[22:56] <hiexpo> urlin2u, no its gone
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: try renaming your firefoxprofilefolder and using a vanilla profile, see if its better
[22:57] <Nach0z> urlin2u: didn't realize you were in here too. lol.
[22:57] <urlin2u> Nach0z, this is where I am usually.
[22:57] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, how do i do that ?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_old
[22:58] <tiox> Whenever I access the Gnome print settings manager, I get a segfault.
[22:59] <tiox> I really don't want to reinstall 11.10, so is there a quick and easy fix for this? I already deleted my .cups file in ~.
[22:59] <tiox> .cups folder*
[22:59] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok did that do i need firefox to be installed
[23:00] <tiox> Not the folder from /etc, easily confuseable and would be cause for alarm...
[23:00] <mellifera> tiox: at what point does the print manager segfault?
[23:01] <macmartine> I'm getting 403 Forbidden, yet my nginx.conf has 'user  www-data;' and the files are all owned by www-data with -rw-r--r--. Any idea why?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: no, just run it and you will get a vanilla profile
[23:02] <macmartine> (sorry, wrong room)
[23:03] <mellifera> tiox: at what point does the print settings manager segfault?
[23:04] <meerkats> on unity, the search bar doesnt return applications, how do I look for apps if I cant do that?
[23:04] <meerkats> it returns files
[23:05] <meerkats> dash home
[23:05] <tiox> mellifera: On load.
[23:05] <tiox> I go to printers, it fails. Failed since adfter I tried setting up an HP ePrint printer with it.
[23:05] <mellifera> tiox: have you ever checked your memory?
[23:06] <tiox> Normally I do hp-setup. But doing it just through Gnome made it fail hard.
[23:06] <tiox> I have memory, yeah!
[23:06] <tiox> Swap is on too.
[23:06] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, how do i know if iam running the vanilla profile ?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> tiox: try:  http://localhost:631
[23:06] <tiox> Don't see how opening print settings should suck my memory dry.
[23:06] <mellifera> I don't mean whether you have memory, I mean have you checked it for hardware errors?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: everything will be default with no favourites or settings
[23:06] <tiox> Nope.
[23:06] <hiexpo> ok
[23:06] <tiox> Are you saying I should run memtest on it?
[23:07] <mellifera> tiox: wouldn't hurt
[23:07] <tiox> And yeah, takes me to CUPS
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> tiox: you can add printers there too
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> old school
[23:07] <meerkats> on unity's dash home, the search bar doesnt return applications, how do I look for apps if I cant do that?
[23:07] <tiox> I did. That's what's causing the segfault in the first place.
[23:08] <tiox> meerkats: The cheap out would be to install SYnapse.
[23:08] <tiox> But Synapse is just another applicatino search and internet search util.
[23:08] <tiox> application*
[23:08] <mellifera> tiox: if trying to install an HP eprinter started this, there might be something horriblly wrong in the configuration file
[23:08] <meerkats> tiox, software sources? any idea why unity's default searcher fails?
[23:09] <tiox> Don't know, sad to say.
[23:09] <urlin2u> !tab > tiox
[23:09] <tiox> mellifera: I can delete that and have it respawn fresh right?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: is it more stable?
[23:09] <mellifera> tiox: maybe it will regerate. but to be safe, just rename the file
[23:10] <tiox> What's the file I need to pitch?
[23:10] <hiexpo> ok
[23:10] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !!!
[23:10] <tiox> Heck, might be the one I could replace too. On my USB drive with Ubuntu I configured the printer as I always had.
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: a correct reply would be 'yes' or 'no'    replying 'ok
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> makes no sense
[23:10] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok but i lost my bookmarks from today can i retrieve them
[23:10] <tiox> Mostly because my parents were about to use the laptop to watch stuff on and... yeah, only one TV with HDMI.
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: yes there is bookmarks.html which holds the bookmarks
[23:11] <tiox> SO I am kind of inconvenienced.
[23:11] <mellifera> tiox: I'm looking. the file name might take a while
[23:11] <DoctorPepper> can anyone please help  me  i have trouble using vaapi  on ubuntu 11.10.  when running vainfo  i get  libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
[23:11] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: newer firefoxes don't appear to be using that bookmarks.html anymore :(
[23:12] <tiox> Oh take your time!
[23:12] <tiox> Better done right than done rushed.
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: didn't know. I hate and do not use firefox
[23:12] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: ya, I've dropped it as well
[23:13] <SoulShadow> too bad chrome sucks
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: chromium rocks, as does Arora
[23:13] <SoulShadow> i only use firefox :)
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> firefox takes to long to do anything at all
[23:14] <Xenobyte> I use them both but prefer firefox
[23:15] <Xenobyte> a little
[23:15] <Worre> Is there any way to change partition's type without data loss?
[23:15] <ikonia> Worre: what do you mean change the type ?
[23:15] <SoulShadow> chrome uses too much ram
[23:15] <SoulShadow> i think he means ext3->4
[23:16] <Worre> ie. ntfs to ext3
[23:16] <Xenobyte> They both have their quirks
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> Worre: backup, format, restore data
[23:16] <ikonia> Worre: no, that's a file system type - not a partition type (just for future reference)
[23:16] <Worre> oh
[23:16] <Worre> somehow i messed them together
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: I have ram to spare, so I'd rather it use that than chew the cpu like a fat kid at a free pie stall
[23:16] <SoulShadow> ActionParsnip?
[23:17] <SoulShadow> firefox uses no cpu here
[23:17] <ikonia> Worre: it's not a problem, you'll just get better responses if you use the right terms
[23:17] <mellifera> tiox: if you're using gnome, you should find the print settings in gnome-print-manager.schemas
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: Arora is light and nippy, its made to be that way
[23:17] <tiox> SO just search that up?
[23:17] <SoulShadow> ActionParsnip: maybe you should upgrade from that pentium 2
[23:17] <tiox> O wait...
[23:18] <mellifera> yes, I suppose. I don't use gnome
[23:18] <tiox> Sounds like a gconf setting.
[23:18] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok yes it is much more stable thanks
[23:18]  * tiox is now somewhat confused
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: dual core U2500  @ 1.20GHz (32bit)
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: obviously the old configs were not compatibe with the new version, happens a lot in crappy firefox
[23:19] <SoulShadow> the hell is a u2500
[23:19] <SoulShadow> oh man, core duo
[23:19] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, yup
[23:19] <SoulShadow> is that the ULV core duo?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: Dell Latitude D420, Works great
[23:20] <mellifera> has anyone used the midori browser? is it any good?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> mellifera: yeah its pretty sweet
[23:20] <SoulShadow> i tend to shy away from any browser that isn't a big name
[23:20] <SoulShadow> just because i don't know much about it
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: sad, you may be missing out
[23:21] <ben_> Hi everyone. I have a quick question. When I'm using the software center on XFCE version of Ubuntu, it doesn't load all the way. It just shows a white screen
[23:21] <SoulShadow> ActionParsnip: it's a browser
[23:21] <SoulShadow> it loads my webpages
[23:21] <SoulShadow> that's all it's supposed to do
[23:21] <ben_> Oh. Okay. I understand now. ty
[23:22] <Xenobyte> imma try midori now wtf
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: and access ftp sites..
[23:22] <SoulShadow> ftp would be a webpage still
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: not technically, its a file server
[23:22] <SoulShadow> but it's still a hosted page
[23:22] <SoulShadow> with a directory
[23:22] <SoulShadow> :D
[23:23] <SoulShadow> but more often than not you'd use a standalone client for ftp
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: your browser can ust represent the files, its a file server not HTML code is present
[23:23] <SoulShadow> just because they're generally better for that type of thing
[23:23] <osmosis> LXDE looks nice!  hadnt seen that one before
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: wanna see my lxde desktop?
[23:23] <tiox> mellifera: Is it a setting I can modify in either gconf or dconf?
[23:23] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, yah
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png
[23:24] <mellifera> tiox: probably in gconf. but it's also (supposed to be) a file you can edit
[23:24] <xj88> Slart: Do you think that my Xorg.0.log will stay intact if I log into Ubuntu 2D?
[23:24] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, what file manager is that?
[23:25] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, your desktop looks real clean
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: nautilus, I run it with the option:   --no-desktop    so it doesn't screw up my desktop
[23:25] <tiox> You knwo what? BRB. I'm going to see what a complete reset with gconftool does.
[23:25] <tiox> know*
[23:25] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, have you tried Thunar?
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: its how I roll, openbox+lxde :)   I've used thunar, not bad at all ;)
[23:25] <JRandolph> Would I be able to use this card - http://goo.gl/6Vldj - for DirecTV
[23:26] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, ahh..i was wondering bout openbox. How do you use them together? What part is openbox?
[23:26] <JRandolph> whoooppps
[23:26] <JRandolph> wrong chan
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: the WM
[23:26] <ratcheer> I just switched my ArchLinux from slim to lxdm. Using OpenBox desktop.
[23:26] <osmosis> ratcheer, have you tried crunchbang?
[23:27] <ratcheer> osmosis: No, I haven't. I use gnome-shell on Ubuntu.
[23:28] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok i figured out what was causing the crash now was anextension is there a way for me to switch back to regular non vanilla
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: you can but its hard to pick bits out of profiles to see what's making it faulter. I'd jst rebuild, I don't use firefox so can't really help much
[23:31] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok
[23:35] <meerkats> does synapse had a shortcut? I need to find apps, and unity's dash home returns only files, no apps
[23:36] <|Long|> hi, i try to move some folders to another directory using sudo rm /source/1 /destination/1 but having error rm: cannot remove /source/1 No such file or directory
[23:36] <|Long|> how do i fix that?
[23:37] <mellifera> |Long|: "rm" doesn't move files. "mv" moves files
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> yeh I thought that
[23:37] <|Long|> alright cool thanks
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> rm = (r)e(m)ove....
[23:37] <mellifera> But |Long|, from the way "rm" works, you've probably already deleted "/source/1"
[23:38] <biagiol3> ciao
[23:38] <|Long|> mellifera, i think your i was screwed
[23:38] <|Long|> your right*
[23:39] <lorenzo> Hi, I have set up Ubuntu Desktop as an access point, but even though I entered an ESSID name the connection results nameless. I have been working on it for hours, can't figure out what I have done wrong. Ideas?
[23:40] <biagiol3> !lista
[23:40] <lorenzo> here is my /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/qJ83vUmb
[23:49] <zul0> Which is the best ftp server for personal use?
[23:50] <iceroot> zul0: ftp is always bad
[23:50] <iceroot> zul0: but have a look at proftpd
[23:50] <mneptok> zul0: never send ftp to do sftp's job
[23:51] <zul0> Ok, thanks!
[23:51] <ratcheer> mneptok:  +1
[23:51] <zykotick9> zul0: you might be interested to see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie
[23:53] <zul0> zykotick9, ok i will see it now, ty!
[23:53] <mellifera> vsftpd is very safe :)
