[00:00] <nivyaj> veryhappy: something messed up
[00:00] <ikonia> Erealz: try #ubuntu+1 (it's a channel)
[00:00] <macmartine> ikonia: https://gist.github.com/1741244
[00:00] <kinou> veryhappy: my bad. I mixed things. The password was when I tried to manage user accounts. Now I have no passwords asked.
[00:00] <veryhappy> holstein: yes, sorry
[00:00] <acerimmer> Added 12.04 wallpapers @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/UserContributed#preview
[00:00] <holstein> veryhappy: no worries :)
[00:00] <macmartine> ikonia: no idea what's with all the php5 instances
[00:00] <nivyaj> veryhappy: if i go into the directory and type ./idea.sh  the program works, but from another directory, it doesn't
[00:00] <Erealz> k
[00:00] <nivyaj> does that mean i didn't set the right location in my path?
[00:01] <daniel___> I'll be back
[00:01] <kinou> veryhappy: But concerning the shutdown, I always used the graphical icon on the upper right to shutdown the computer. It used to work.
[00:01] <ikonia> macmartine: that doesn't like like a standard ubuntu web server setup
[00:01] <Romeo5k> ok.. i need someone help.. I hAVe not even a clue about crontabs.. so i asked fior help,.. and my system  wont even read crontab- e
[00:01] <ikonia> macmartine: that looks very on, especially as there is no httpd process running
[00:01] <kinou> veryhappy: Now, it brings me back to the login screen everytime.
[00:01] <Romeo5k>  whats wrong?
[00:01] <jrib> Romeo5k: "crontab -e" to edit your crontab
[00:01] <macmartine> ikonia: i'm running nginx
[00:01] <jrib> !cron | Romeo5k
[00:02] <Flannel> Romeo5k: what do you mean 'wont even read crontab -e'?
[00:02] <Romeo5k> somoene said i need to install crontabs... ive tried all i can try to my knowwldge and  ubuntu is still not understanding
[00:02] <veryhappy> kinou: it always returns to the graphical login?
[00:02] <Romeo5k>  can anyone pls walk me thru this apain
[00:02] <nivyaj> veryhappy: fixed it
[00:02] <ikonia> macmartine: postgres and mysql ?
[00:02] <macmartine> ikonia: yeah
[00:02] <veryhappy> nivyaj: good
[00:02] <schnuffle> Romeo5k: crontab is installed by default
[00:02] <Romeo5k> not for me it isnt
[00:02] <macmartine> ikonia: postgres for my rails app, mysql for wordpress
[00:02] <ToBIOS> chronofire: Sorry about the wait. Got caught up with something else.
[00:02] <nivyaj> veryhappy: yea- i'm getting more confident  with this stuff
[00:02] <Romeo5k> ive tried everythig i could
[00:02] <Romeo5k>  i promise
[00:02] <nivyaj> thx
[00:03] <schnuffle> Romeo5k: You mean you don't have cron installed?
[00:03] <ToBIOS> chronofire: So you didn't use Wubi?
[00:03] <Romeo5k> schnuffle
[00:03] <Romeo5k>  yea
[00:03] <veryhappy> nivyaj: good, that's fine, see you
[00:03] <kinou> veryhappy: yes.
[00:03] <ikonia> macmartine: doesn't look in the best of setup,
[00:03] <Romeo5k>  i mean crontab is not installed
[00:03] <macmartine> ikonia: how so?
[00:03] <Romeo5k> and i dont know how to install it
[00:03] <schnuffle> Romeo5k: okay then install it with: sudo apt-get install cron
[00:03] <Romeo5k> ok
[00:03] <kinou> veryhappy: it displays the "shutdown animation" and then brings me back to the login screen.
[00:03] <jrib> Romeo5k: what exactly happens when you enter « crontab -e » in your shell?
[00:03] <ikonia> macmartine: looks like your web server is either over spawning (try fewer bigger processes) or you've just got a machine that's massivly under powered
[00:04] <Romeo5k> jrib command not found
[00:04] <ikonia> macmartine: ever considered running wordpress on postgres to try to only run one database process,
[00:04] <jrib> Romeo5k: what did you type?
[00:04] <veryhappy> kinou: to be honest, i got no idea for this problem.
[00:04] <Romeo5k> crontab -e
[00:04] <jrib> Romeo5k: copy and paste the whole line
[00:04] <jrib> Romeo5k: how did you install ubuntu?
[00:04] <kinou> veryhappy: :/
[00:04] <Romeo5k> just the regular way
[00:04] <macmartine> ikonia: yeah, i'll have to migrate it over. I'm just seeing if I'm up for managing all this myself before I commit
[00:05] <Romeo5k> its on a vps
[00:05] <jrib> Romeo5k: "regular way" is meaningless.
[00:05] <Romeo5k>  but right now its actualy installing it
[00:05] <kinou> veryhappy: thanks for the intended help and for saying that rather than letting me wait for nothing.
[00:05] <daniel___> @urlin2u, I'm back and my device mounted. I had to have it plugged in before Ubuntu started up
[00:05] <pSy4130> @jrib, boot the CD and follow the instructions, do you have a specific question?
[00:05] <jimi_> holstein, i fixed it
[00:05] <jimi_> holstein, no thanks to you :P
[00:05] <jimi_> holstein, j/k :)
[00:05] <urlin2u> daniel___, hmm, do you have it in fstab?
[00:05] <jrib> pSy4130: no, I do not have a question
[00:05] <mukaibot> hi there, I'm having some weirdness with my bridged networking configuration
[00:06] <mukaibot> in kvm
[00:06] <macmartine> ikonia: can you direct me to info about how to firgure out the over spawning?
[00:06] <funnyfingers> syn-ack I want to make a mysql socket file.
[00:06] <daniel___> @urlin2u, One second
[00:06] <veryhappy> kinou: no problem, i tried what i could
[00:06] <Romeo5k> jrib it works now
[00:06] <mukaibot> I can ssh to a guest, but the guest can't ping hosts, nslookup, etc...output from ifconfig, netstat and /etc/resolv.conf  appears correct
[00:06] <syn-ack> funnyfingers, wait, what
[00:06] <holstein> jimi_: lol... what was the deal?
[00:06] <Romeo5k>  it actually respnds to crontab now
[00:06] <urlin2u> daniel___, I wouldn't just wondering.
[00:06] <daniel___> No it doesn't show up in fstab
[00:06] <urlin2u> daniel___, cool hope it continues to work.
[00:06] <funnyfingers> syn-ack with CentOS if a socket file is missing I use mksock to make it again.
[00:07] <jimi_> holstein, I think something had the audio devices locked, pulse could only see dummy output, so i killed it and restarted pulse and it worked
[00:07] <daniel___> @urlin2u, I have a strong feeling it will stop working next time I restart without having something plugged in like this
[00:07] <syn-ack> funnyfingers, mysql should do that automatically when you launch it. that's what mysql.sock is
[00:07] <funnyfingers> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/zimbra/db/mysql.sock' (111)
[00:07] <holstein> jimi_: yeah... you know how "somebody" is when they get around your machine! ... glad you got it working :)
[00:07] <funnyfingers> The file doesn't exist.
[00:08] <jimi_> holstein, heh, it was a fresh install! :P
[00:08] <syn-ack> funnyfingers, rm mysql.sock and restart it
[00:08] <ikonia> funnyfingers: that's not an ubuntu install
[00:08] <funnyfingers> the file doesn't exist
[00:08] <trojan> Any good IDE suggestion for web ,, php ?
[00:08] <ikonia> funnyfingers: the ubuntu install doesn't get put in that location
[00:08] <holstein> jimi_: in some cases, pavucontrol has killed pulse on me
[00:08] <funnyfingers> I know it isn't.
[00:08] <ikonia> funnyfingers: what distro is it ?
[00:08] <funnyfingers> Ubuntu
[00:08] <funnyfingers> just not an Ubuntu app
[00:08] <ikonia> funnyfingers: ok - so where did you get mysql from ?
[00:08] <funnyfingers> Zimbra
[00:08] <ikonia> funnyfingers: so they are the people who will support you
[00:09] <funnyfingers> So Ubuntu has no socket file maker like CentOS?
[00:09] <mukaibot> I'm having some issues with bridged networking in KVM. I can ssh to a guest, but the guest can't ping hosts, nslookup, etc...output from ifconfig, netstat and /etc/resolv.conf appears correct
[00:09] <ikonia> funnyfingers: you've not using ubuntu's mysql
[00:09] <ikonia> funnyfingers: ubuntus does have a socket file
[00:09] <funnyfingers> Yes but I want to make a socket file.
[00:09] <ikonia> vmware can help you with this sort of thing, try the #vmware channel
[00:09] <ikonia> funnyfingers: it's not an ubuntu software product or problem
[00:09] <WoC> funnyfingers, the socket is created when the mysqld is running
[00:10] <funnyfingers> WoC what does it use to create it?
[00:10] <ikonia> funnyfingers: the daemon creates it
[00:10] <WoC> funnyfingers, making it manually would prevent mysqld from starting
[00:10] <funnyfingers> ah I 'll check the daemon then.
[00:10] <ikonia> funnyfingers: again #vmware is the channel for this
[00:10] <funnyfingers> no it isn't ikonia
[00:11] <ikonia> funnyfingers: yes it is, it's a vmware product, this isn't an ubuntu issue/application
[00:11] <syn-ack> someones gonna get a banhammer..... :P
[00:11] <syn-ack> since when is mysql a vmware product?
[00:11] <syn-ack> it's an oracle product. :P
[00:11] <ikonia> syn-ack: it's a custom built mysql bundled with zimba (vmware)
[00:11] <syn-ack> nm
[00:11] <syn-ack> just saw that
[00:11] <ikonia> I'm reading the documentation on it
[00:12] <syn-ack> ikonia, yeah, don't mind me. heh
[00:12] <urlin2u> syn-ack, lol ikonia would have to ban themselves.
[00:12] <JacobVengeance> Anyone here use Pantheon?
[00:13] <ikonia> funnyfingers: also http://support.zimbra.com/supportlogin.php
[00:13] <funnyfingers> ikonia you are missing my whole question.
[00:13] <syn-ack> No he's not
[00:13] <funnyfingers> And I am using ZCS
[00:13] <syn-ack> you're missing the part where it's Zimbra, not Ubuntu
[00:14] <ikonia> funnyfingers: that's fine, however that product is a custom vmware product maintained and supported by vmware
[00:14] <ikonia> funnyfingers: that's why I'm linking you to the #vmware channel and the Zimba support resources,
[00:15] <funnyfingers> I've been there and have had to fix all of my own problems up to this socket file problem where on CentOS I create a socket using mksock.  Ubuntu and Debian no longer have it it seems.
[00:15] <runa> is there an alternative to nocturne in linux? i know that xcalib could calibrate easily the screen but i can not find the right icc.
[00:15] <ikonia> funnyfingers: the mysql daemon creates/removes the socket file now
[00:15] <ikonia> funnyfingers: however as this is a custom mysql build, we can't really say how it is supposed to be setup
[00:16] <macmartine> ikonia: Are the php processes the main things that look odd?
[00:16] <jimi_> I just got an email from "lilnigglet48 " :(
[00:16] <ikonia> macmartine: certainly a lot
[00:16] <ikonia> jimi_: how is that anything to do with this channel ?
[00:16] <macmartine> ikonia: what else looks odd?
[00:16] <ikonia> macmartine: the footprint for ispconfig seemed "big"
[00:17] <damaltor> ispconfig?
[00:17]  * damaltor raises hand
[00:17] <funnyfingers> ikonia and I said earlier I am going to dig through the debian mysql daeom and see how they create it.
[00:17] <_Raider_on_the_s> I am using Empathy. how do I see available rooms?
[00:17] <ikonia> damaltor: a sloppy configuration web tool for managing a server, like webmin
[00:17] <ikonia> funnyfingers: how will that add any value when it's a custom build
[00:18] <macmartine> ikonia: Ok. It  looks like I can just set pm.max_children to 2 or something, instead of 50, so it doesn't create so many php processes .
[00:18] <damaltor> ikonia: i know, i am using it for ages
[00:18] <ikonia> funnyfingers: you need to be talking to vmware, the debian build will be different
[00:18] <ikonia> macmartine: make sure that you have enough to handle your traffic though
[00:18] <veryhappy> can someone help me with my terminal issue?
[00:18] <macmartine> ikonia: but wondering if there's anything else you think i should look into
[00:18] <||||||||||||||||> hello 󠁟everyone 󠁟 󠁟 󠁟 󠁟 󠁟
[00:19] <veryhappy> hello |||||||||||||||| please change your nick
[00:19] <||||||||||||||||> veryhappy 󠁟why? 󠁟 󠁟
[00:19] <ikonia> macmartine: hard to see from just "top", but I'd do a sizing exercise
[00:19] <WoC> amen
[00:19] <jimi_> lol that nick was ridiculous
[00:19] <macmartine> ikonia: meaning what?
[00:19] <WoC> Too Many pipes ? ;0
[00:19] <ikonia> macmartine: work out your traffic, usage per traffic block, then size the machine properly
[00:20] <bobenhaus> hello. is there a way to create a shortcut from  a folder that resides on a NAS?
[00:20] <scalle> list
[00:20] <WoC> bobenhaus, such as a sym-link ?
[00:21] <magicJ> in my /etc/passwd file there are all the usual default users.  Many of them are set to have a login shell as /bin/sh - isn't this an unncessary security risk - who or what needs to be able to get into them - I have no idea what the password is.
[00:22] <ikonia> magicJ: they are probably locked accounts
[00:22] <ikonia> magicJ: some accounts need a valid shell to do their tasks
[00:23] <bobenhaus> hello. is there a way to create a shortcut from  a folder that resides on a NAS?
[00:24] <bobenhaus> all these peoples and nobody talking
[00:24] <WoC> bobenhaus, i think i already gave you the answer to that
[00:24] <ikonia> bobenhaus: people are talking
[00:24] <bobenhaus> oh sorry didnt see that. my apologize
[00:24] <WoC> No worries, bobenhaus :)
[00:24] <mukaibot> bobenhaus: not everyone knows the answer to every question!
[00:25] <mukaibot> I have a KVM problem which no-one wanted to bite at ;)
[00:25] <bobenhaus> WoC:  I just have a music folder on a NAS that I would like to create a shortcut to my desktop just like in windows is all :)
[00:25] <magicJ> ikonia: that is what I was worried about - how do I know which ones and why is this not a big security risk?
[00:25] <bobenhaus> lol
[00:25] <ikonia> magicJ: trust the people who made the build
[00:25] <WoC> fortunatley some of us do have some of the answers to some of the questions ;) and some even know how to spell ;)
[00:26] <bobenhaus> Woc: Sounds like me lol
[00:26] <magicJ> ikonia: OK - so how does trust help - what stops these ports being accessible ?
[00:26] <ikonia> mukaibot: you're question, looks like your forwarding is not setup correctly, if you can ssh in, your incoming nat seems ok, but looks like you're out going it not setup
[00:26] <ikonia> magicJ: you trust the people that made the build took reasonable security concerns into consideration
[00:26] <bobenhaus> Woc: Can I create a shortcut on my desktop and then tell the NAS the path?
[00:27] <magicJ> ikonia: but what could that be if there is a shell login defined?
[00:27] <mukaibot> ikonia: if I'm using a bridged configuration, doesn't that remove the need for NAT?
[00:27] <Danny_Joris> Hi - I'm having trouble pinging my ubuntu VM from my host (snow leopard) . If I do ifconfig, I see eth0 has an IP assigned to it, but I can't ping it. (timeout) It does work at work, but not at home. Could there something be wrong in my /interfaces file? I've set eh0 as a static IP
[00:27] <ikonia> magicJ: a shell of /bin/sh does not mean it can login
[00:28] <WoC> bobenhaus, i havent actually used NAS but i figured it would be something similar to nfs, where a sym-link would be possible
[00:28] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: can you please post ifconfig from both machines?
[00:28] <ikonia> mukaibot: sorry, nat was a bad wording choice, you still need your connection "forwarded" though
[00:28] <bobenhaus> Woc: Its just a share on a network
[00:28] <osmosis> need some help. After I login, i get a blank desktop...no way to launch an application. have to power off and reset. How do I fix?  Is gnome corrupt?
[00:28] <mukaibot> ikonia: can you elaborate on 'forwarding'?
[00:29] <bobenhaus> WoC: I get error when trying to create a sym link :(
[00:29] <magicJ> ikonia: aha - why does it not - what could stop it - I guess that is what I am really asking.  Surely if I have sshd enabled - which I do for an account I need then sshd is there and somone could login if they knew the user name and password
[00:29] <WoC> bobenhaus, chances are you might have to make a desktop file for it
[00:29] <ikonia> mukaibot: sure, if you have an ip address of 10.1.1.1 on your virtual guest, and it needs to use 192.168.24.1 to do a dns lookup, you'll either need ipforwarding setup, or a routed system to get it from network a to b and back
[00:29] <veryhappy> can someone please help me with my graphics issue?
[00:29] <mukaibot> ikonia: everything is on the same subnet
[00:29] <bobenhaus> Woc: hmm not sure how to do that stuff yet but learning.
[00:29] <ikonia> magicJ: what user accounts are you worried about ?
[00:30] <mukaibot> ikonia: should the bridge have an IP address too?
[00:30] <bobenhaus> Woc:  error while creating a linki to music; The target doesnt support symbolic links
[00:30] <ikonia> mukaibot: ok - so you don't need a bridged network card if they are all in the same subnet
[00:30] <ikonia> there is no need to bridge
[00:30] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: I'm a networking noob - there's no safety risks posting my hosts ifconfig?
[00:31] <nivyaj> i'm  getting an error when I'm tryuing to set an enviromnent variable: I write  export SCALA_HOME= "/home/nivjay/bin/scala-2.9.1/bin" and i get that:  it's not a valid identifier
[00:31] <mukaibot> ikonia: the documentation says otherwise
[00:31] <nivyaj> wth?!?!?
[00:31] <ikonia> nivyaj: remove the sapce
[00:31] <ikonia> space
[00:31] <magicJ> ikonia: all the early ones that the install set up - games, bin, daemon, etc
[00:31] <mukaibot> ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking
[00:31] <ikonia> nivyaj: SCALE_HOME="/home/nivjay/bin/scala-2.9.1/bin"
[00:31] <nivyaj> ikonia: UGH
[00:31] <WoC> bobenhaus, another way would be to add it to your rc.local and having it mounted automatic each boot and just make a sym-link on your desk to where ever you mounted it
[00:31] <nivyaj> thanks
[00:31] <ikonia> magicJ: they are locked accounts
[00:31] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: you can post it
[00:31] <xSmurf> anyone has some experience with initramfs hooks? I want to understand how the cryptroot cryptpassdev and cryptgnupg hooks work I'm not too sure what gets called when
[00:32] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: they will just be private addresses - we can't access them via the internet
[00:32] <ikonia> mukaibot: which part are you looking at on that page
[00:32] <xSmurf> does the update tool only put them in the init script when they are defined in grub?
[00:32] <bobenhaus> WOC: I can see the NAS via the filemanger but I just want to create a shortcut thats the problem.
[00:32] <bobenhaus> ok
[00:32] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: http://pastebin.com/cqEdg9XY
[00:33] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: https://skitch.com/dannyjoris/g63yf/smithsonian-vm-running
[00:33] <Danny_Joris> ah shit
[00:33] <magicJ> ikonia: that's what I wanted to understand I guess - how are they locked?
[00:33] <ikonia> Danny_Joris: easy on the language please.
[00:33] <Danny_Joris> ikonia: sorry
[00:33] <mukaibot> lol
[00:33] <ikonia> magicJ: by locking them (that's what it's called) it stops them being usable as a login account
[00:33] <nivyaj> ikonia:  when i write$ source /etc/environment  I know it "sources" the changes... what does that mean?
[00:34] <ikonia> nivyaj: re-reads the information in that file
[00:34] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: your subnets are different
[00:34] <mukaibot> that's why you can't ping the hosts
[00:34] <magicJ> ikonia: OK - but how does one LOCK an account - I guess that is really the question I cam coming to
[00:34] <nivyaj> ikonia: so recompliles it?
[00:34] <ikonia> nivyaj: no, just re-reads it
[00:34] <ikonia> magicJ: essentials sets no valid password for it, so you can't login
[00:34] <magicJ> ikonia: and what about games, is that locked?
[00:34] <mukaibot> ikonia: ^ I don't want user networking, I want bridged
[00:34] <ikonia> magicJ: yes, it's locked
[00:34] <Krywk> I need help.
[00:35] <ikonia> mukaibot: why ? you have nothing to bridge, it's on the same subnet
[00:35] <Krywk> Well, first of all, hi :P
[00:35] <ikonia> mukaibot: bridging is for joining two networks together, you are on the same network, there is nothing to bridge
[00:35] <magicJ> ikonia: TY - that's what I wanted to know - and so I assume that the root is that way too, yes?  And, if I wanted to set one that way myself how would I set what you call "no valid password"
[00:35] <mukaibot> ikonia: because I want each guest to run daemons, and don't want to create firewall rules
[00:36] <ikonia> magicJ: root is already locked
[00:36] <ikonia> mukaibot: you don't need bridging for that
[00:36] <ikonia> mukaibot: again - you have nothing to bridge
[00:36] <mukaibot> ikonia: Bridged networking allows the virtual interfaces to connect to the outside network through the physical interface, making them appear as normal hosts to the rest of the network.
[00:36] <mukaibot> according to the documentation
[00:36] <ikonia> mukaibot: yes, that is correct
[00:36] <magicJ> ikonia: This is GREAT - TY - so, if I wanted to set a "locked" one, how would I set "no valid password"
[00:37] <Krywk> Well, my problem is this one: I'm trying to use RecordMyDesktop. It records video fine, but not audio. It records it, but it has REALLY low volume, and an annoying sound. I can't fix it with audacity, so I figured I'd be searching Google for solutions, or make my own. But no success. Anyone know any possible solutions?
[00:37] <mukaibot> ikonia: usermode networking: In the default configuration, the guest operating system will have access to network services, but will not be visible to other machines on the network. The guest will be able, for example, to browse the web, but will not be able to host an accessible web server.
[00:37] <ikonia> mukaibot: and when I said you need to set that up with forwarding, you said you didn't need to as everything was on the same subnet
[00:37] <ikonia> mukaibot: if you want them to be visble to the outside world then you'll need to bridge and setup forwarding or "routing" to get traffic in/out of the bridged network
[00:38] <mukaibot> ikonia: so I *do* need bridged networking
[00:38] <ikonia> mukaibot: correct
[00:38] <ikonia> mukaibot: if you want to bridge your internal network to the outside world, you'll need to bridge
[00:38] <mukaibot> ikonia: you just told me I didn't
[00:38] <mukaibot> AHHHH
[00:38] <ikonia> mukaibot: because you told me you didn't want to connect to the outside world to see hosts, you said it was all in the same subnet
[00:38] <mukaibot> ok, that makes sense
[00:38] <ikonia> mukaibot: if everything is in the same subnet for communication then you don't need to bridge
[00:39] <mukaibot> ok, so how should I configure my guests then?
[00:39] <ikonia> mukaibot: if you need to see outside that subnet you need to bridge a physical device to get out
[00:39] <ikonia> mukaibot: you should configure your guests interfaces to use the bridged device, and then setup the correct forwarding/routing rules
[00:39] <ikonia> (iptables normally)
[00:39] <Krywk> Anyone have any idea of what's going on?
[00:40] <ikonia> Krywk: in what respect ?
[00:40] <Krywk> Uhh, whaddya mean "In what respect"?
[00:40] <ikonia> Krywk: "whats going on" - in regard to what ?
[00:40] <WoC> bobenhaus, so it works like a windows share ?
[00:40] <Krywk> Copy-paste: Well, my problem is this one: I'm trying to use RecordMyDesktop. It records video fine, but not audio. It records it, but it has REALLY low volume, and an annoying sound. I can't fix it with audacity, so I figured I'd be searching Google for solutions, or make my own. But no success. Anyone know any possible solutions?
[00:40] <ikonia> no idea
[00:41] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: would that be netmask ?
[00:41] <mukaibot> ikonia: so what do I need iptables to do then?
[00:41] <Krywk> Anyone here using this program, or know another Screen Recording program, with audio?
[00:41] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: netmask 0xffffff00 ?
[00:41] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: no
[00:41] <WoC> bobenhaus, if so, you could just mount it using smbclient
[00:41] <ikonia> mukaibot: handle your routing/forwarding
[00:41] <syddraf> Krywk: I've never used that program before, but the best bet is to check alsamixer, etc to see if an input channel is low.
[00:41] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: one host as a 192.168.1.x address, the other has 192.168.2.x
[00:42] <acerimmer> Krywk: what kind of mic?  Laptop mounted or...?
[00:42] <mukaibot> ikonia: now I'm confused. There's no routing because it's the same subnet.
[00:42] <ikonia> mukaibot: there is routing
[00:42] <WoC> bobenhaus, the man page for smbclient shows how you can set up user/password so it doesnt show up when you use 'ps'
[00:42] <Krywk> acerimmer, not a mic, I want to record the computer's sound, which the program is doing, but that's the problem: Little to no sound and a really annoying sound.
[00:42] <ikonia> mukaibot: if you are on 192.168.24.10 and you want to hit the internet on 80.84.32.122 - that is routing/fowarding
[00:42] <ikonia> mukaibot: that is not the same subnet
[00:43] <mukaibot> ikonia: Yes I know. But I thought we had just covered the fact that all my guests are on the same subnet
[00:43] <Cube``_> guys, i'm having a huge problem with my usb stick that i cannot fix. it doesnt work, when i try to format it with gparted it says "unrecognized disk label".
[00:43] <ikonia> mukaibot: then you don't need bridging
[00:43] <Krywk> syddraf, All things are up to maximum in alsamixer
[00:43] <mukaibot> ikonia: sigh.
[00:43] <mukaibot> ikonia: never mind
[00:43] <ikonia> mukaibot: there is no routing if all your guests are on the same subnet - there is no routing
[00:43] <ikonia> mukaibot: do you want your guests to see the internet yes/no ?
[00:43] <mukaibot> ikonia: yes
[00:43] <syddraf> Krywk: Not sure what to say then. Sorry.
[00:43] <ikonia> mukaibot: then there IS routing
[00:44] <mukaibot> ikonia: but they only need to get to my router's IP address
[00:44] <Krywk> syddraf, It's ok :)
[00:44] <ikonia> mukaibot: that's how your guests get out to the internet, they route out of the bridged devvice and back in
[00:44] <Krywk> Anyone know any other good program for recording screen video and sound?
[00:44] <ikonia> mukaibot: is your router on the same subnet as the private network ?
[00:44] <mukaibot> ikonia: yes
[00:45] <ikonia> mukaibot: so can your devices ping the router ?
[00:45]  * JacobVengeance yawns
[00:45] <jimearth> Hello there, can someone help me with the microphone ? It doesn't seem to be reconize by flash player... once I enter a flash chat room, it makes a weird sound and nobody can heard me. The webcam works great... but not the microphone. The microhpone works outside flash player.
[00:46] <jimearth> any idea ?
[00:47] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: I changed both broadcast and address in the vm to 1.x and now I can ping 1.x
[00:48] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: and at work I assume I'll have to switch it back to 2.x ?
[00:48] <mukaibot> ikonia: nope, it can't ping the host
[00:48] <mukaibot> ikonia: or the router
[00:48] <ikonia> mukaibot: what is the gateway ip address on the virtual machine ?
[00:48] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: I pinged the vm from my host
[00:48] <acerimmer> Krywk: I'm inclined to believe that it's a setting issue.
[00:48] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: great! So problem solved?
[00:48] <Krywk> acerimmer, Any suggestions?
[00:49] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: I guess so. I'll have to see how it works out when I'm back at work, but I know how to solve it now !
[00:49] <acerimmer> Krywk: you're on what version of ubuntu??
[00:49] <mukaibot> ikonia: the guest has my router's IP address
[00:49] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: Thanks so much !!!
[00:49] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot++
[00:49] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: No worries.
[00:49] <Krywk> acerimmer, 11.10
[00:49] <Danny_Joris> :)
[00:49] <ikonia> mukaibot: so on paper that should be fine,
[00:49] <ikonia> mukaibot: what ip address have you given the bridged device ?
[00:49] <mukaibot> ikonia: exactly! This is why it's so confusing
[00:49] <mukaibot> ikonia: bridged device on the guest, or on the host?
[00:50] <ikonia> mukaibot: there should be no bridged device on the guest, the host controls/owns the bridged device
[00:50] <acerimmer> Krywk: ok, it's going to be somewhat different than what I'm looking at on 10.04.  I'd go to System>Preferences>Sound and play with the input/output and levels
[00:50] <mukaibot> ikonia: in the documentation, guest.xml has 'interface type=bridge', 'source=br0'
[00:51] <mukaibot> which is what I've done
[00:51] <ikonia> mukaibot: yes, that's telling the guest to use the physical device "br0"
[00:51] <ikonia> mukaibot: however br0 needs to be configured on the host
[00:51] <mukaibot> which is what I've done
[00:51] <ikonia> mukaibot: so what have you setup the ip address on br0 to be on the host
[00:51] <mukaibot> that has the ip 192.168.1.249
[00:51] <ikonia> can you ping 192.168.1.249 from the guest ?
[00:51] <mukaibot> no
[00:51] <ikonia> mukaibot: can you ping 192.168.1.249 from the host
[00:52] <mukaibot> yeah
[00:52] <ikonia> mukaibot: ok, what is the ip address of the guest
[00:52] <mukaibot> 192.168.1.23
[00:52] <mukaibot> I wonder if I should revert back to using the e1000 driver, rather than virtio
[00:52] <ikonia> mukaibot: then it is most likley your guest not being setup/configured properly to use the br0 device
[00:53] <ikonia> mukaibot: that is the most likley issue, and where you should be looking
[00:53] <mukaibot> bahahah - I think I figured it out
[00:53] <ikonia> do tell
[00:53] <mukaibot> hw address is different
[00:54] <ikonia> well done
[00:54] <mukaibot> oh wait
[00:54] <mukaibot> waaaait
[00:54] <mukaibot> in guest.xml, I can specify a hw address (which is what I've done)
[00:54] <mukaibot> should that match the bridge?
[00:54] <mukaibot> no right?
[00:55] <ikonia> that's for the virtual network card, it doens't matter what that is
[00:55] <ikonia> however I'll leave you to it as it's bed time here
[00:55] <mukaibot> ok, thanks for looking into this
[00:57] <magicJ> incase anyone was following my questions to ikonia on the issue of locked accounts and wonders what the answer was:  the /etc/shadow file contains the crypted version of the password, if that field is set to * then no login is allowed
[00:59] <bobenhaus> anyone know how to remove read/write from a folder?
[00:59] <bobenhaus> chmod -r -w?
[00:59] <WoC> bobenhaus, you want it read only ?
[01:00] <Duvrazh> Can anyone recommend a good log analyzer for Ubuntu?
[01:00] <bobenhaus> Woc: I want to remove all permissions so I can delete the folder :)
[01:00] <zykotick9> bobenhaus: "chmod <ugo>-rw /foo" u for user, g for group, o for other
[01:00] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: sorry to come back to this. I just realized that a lot of settings (hardcoded + db settings) involve the ip address. Is it safe to swtich my hosts broadcast from 1.x to 2.x ?
[01:00] <bobenhaus> hmm
[01:01] <WoC> rmdir removes any empty directory
[01:01] <bobenhaus> permission denied
[01:01] <WoC> do you own the directory ?
[01:01] <bobenhaus> yes
[01:01] <WoC> rm -rf [dir]
[01:01] <bobenhaus> I fixed it by typing sudo rmdir dirname
[01:02] <WoC> removes all suv-dirs/files
[01:02] <bobenhaus> yeah I forget the sudo :)
[01:02] <WoC> ah
[01:02] <bobenhaus> hah
[01:02] <bobenhaus> Woc: I'm trying to wrap my brain around linux command line
[01:02] <Krywk> acerimmer, no changes.
[01:02] <bobenhaus> apt-get etc..
[01:03] <acerimmer> Krywk: Sorry, then.  IDK.
[01:03] <WoC> i been using a shell for a while but im still new to apt
[01:03] <bobenhaus> Woc: Can I remove stuff from the tmp folder?
[01:03] <Krywk> acerimmer, :/
[01:03] <bobenhaus> woc: is apt-get part of the unbuntu software center?
[01:03] <WoC> bobenhaus, yes but removing the wrong things may brake things
[01:04] <bobenhaus> woc: even from tmp folder?
[01:04] <WoC> yes
[01:04] <bobenhaus> ok
[01:04] <WoC> some uses /tmp for sockets and things
[01:04] <bobenhaus> woc: ok I wont touch
[01:04] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: on your Mac?
[01:04] <bobenhaus> woc: do you know the apt-get for firefox nightly?
[01:05] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: yeah
[01:05] <mukaibot> Danny_Joris: I'd look into the Locations feature then
[01:05] <mukaibot> you'd basically set up two profiles - work and home
[01:05] <WoC> bobenhaus, try apt-cache search, but i think that is a separate repo
[01:05] <mukaibot> work with the 192.168.2.x address, home with 192.168.1.x. Then you just toggle between them
[01:06] <bobenhaus> woc: ok
[01:07] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: ah, I'd set that up in my vm?
[01:07] <WoC> bobenhaus; as for software center, it uses apt, not the other way around
[01:07] <bobenhaus> woc: thanks
[01:07] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: ah no
[01:07] <WoC> bobenhaus, np :)
[01:08] <Krywk> Nevermind people, I've found a WAAAAAAAAY simpler program that does exactly what I want, and it works flawlessly. It's Kazam
[01:08] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: I feel that's what causing me trouble, that I'm home using broadcast 1.x instead of 2.x at work
[01:08] <Krywk> Bye and thanks for the help
[01:08] <Krywk> :)
[01:08] <JacobVengeance> What versions of Ubuntu is everyone running
[01:09] <WoC> JacobVengeance, many are using 11.10
[01:09] <acerimmer> JacobVengeance: 10.04 LTS
[01:10] <metasansana> JacobVengeance: all of the above
[01:11] <JacobVengeance> :|
[01:11] <Mirbuntu> @___@
[01:13] <WoC> JacobVengeance, are you considering a new installation ?
[01:13] <JacobVengeance> Im on 10.04 right now, but might upgrade. I don't know yet though.
[01:13] <acerimmer> JacobVengeance: LTS only means less stress
[01:15] <Mirbuntu> JacobVengeance, i am on 10.04 now too
[01:16] <Mirbuntu> i prefer it over unity ;>>
[01:16] <krazed> 10.04 isn't the ONLY alternative to Unity, just sayin'
[01:16] <JacobVengeance> The way I see it Gnome 2.3 > unity > gnome-shell > KDE
[01:16] <holstein> you mean, you prefer gnome2 instead of unity in the current version of ubuntu
[01:17] <WoC> I'm btw using precise, WindowMaker ftw :)
[01:17] <Danny_Joris> mukaibot: got disconnected for a bit playing with networking locations
[01:18] <JacobVengeance> WoC, WindowMaker?
[01:18] <WoC> Yup
[01:18] <WoC> Quick, small and easy
[01:18] <Danny_Joris> I tried to manually add an ip address
[01:18] <Danny_Joris> but failed
[01:19] <JacobVengeance> I don't like all those minimalistic DE
[01:19] <Danny_Joris> I'll contact our sys admin monday.
[01:19] <showtime> i have installed 11.04, my ati hd4850 has really really really bad performance with fglrx driver, any idea what to do ?
[01:21] <showtime> help
[01:21] <holstein> showtime: try other drivers
[01:22] <showtime> i tried the driver from ati page too
[01:22] <showtime> doesnt work
[01:23] <whoever> any one here running lighttpd ? I need some help getting virtual hosts to work
[01:23] <monxx> how do i remap the keyboard shortcut to switch workspace (alt+ctrl+arrowkey)
[01:23] <holstein> showtime: you could try different kernels with those drivers i suppose.. i sometimes try different live CD's to test, such as the last LTS and the latest or even the alpha/beta releases
[01:23] <whoever> i am using this totorial http://library.linode.com/web-servers/lighttpd/ubuntu-9.10-karmic
[01:24] <whoever> and i am getting page cannot be displayed  or canno find
[01:24] <JacobVengeance> What about backports or proposed updates? They might have fixes
[01:24] <thetinyjesus> Question, is there a benefit from just using Ubuntu instead of Linux mint?
[01:24] <whoever> can someone assist
[01:24] <acerimmer> !server|whoever
[01:24] <franzks> Hello, I can't seem to play .mkv files on Ubuntu 11.10, I googled it and it seems a lot of users are experiencing the same problem but no one came up with a solution yet. Any ideas? I tried the default player, Banshee, and VLC
[01:25] <JacobVengeance> thetinyjesus, speed. less crap.
[01:25] <showtime> my live cd is new :(
[01:25] <zykotick9> thetinyjesus: support offering for one.  Using a distro that has more then one developer offers some advantages as well.
[01:25] <JacobVengeance> franzks, do you have all the extra codecs installed?
[01:25] <chipmonk> i am trying to use hdmi sound but the alsa driver modules stop at 2.6.35.30 and my kernel is 2.6.35-32
[01:25] <franzks> JacobVengeance, I thought VLC already had them?
[01:25] <thetinyjesus> hey
[01:26] <chipmonk> do i need to backup my kernel version?
[01:26] <chipmonk> how do i do dat
[01:26] <JacobVengeance> franzks, sometimes people use different audio/video codecs that can throw media players off. I always installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and vlc and everything works
[01:26] <franzks> I just write "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" ??
[01:26] <whoever> ya thaks bot but can a get some live person to help
[01:27] <JacobVengeance> Yes franzks
[01:27] <holstein> showtime: that was only one of the suggestions anyways.. but you can try 10.04 live for example
[01:27] <franzks> JacobVengeance, it said it was already installed and in the latest version
[01:28] <franzks> VLC just plays a green screen with no sound, default and banshee won't even play the video
[01:28] <broimfromafrika> hi
[01:28] <broimfromafrika> i installed windows 8 and now i want to get back to ubuntu without reinstalling, how to do that?
[01:28] <JacobVengeance> franzks, is it like that with all .mkv or just a certain one?
[01:28] <holstein> i see that green screen issue mentioned here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1691499 franzks
[01:29] <JacobVengeance> broimfromafrika, reinstall GRUB
[01:29] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance
[01:29] <broimfromafrika> how
[01:29] <zykotick9> JacobVengeance: mkv is a container, it can have all sorts of different codecs inside them
[01:29] <franzks> holstein, yeah but there was no solution mentioned
[01:29] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance, i got a live usb ubuntu btw
[01:29] <broimfromafrika> and ubuntu on main disk
[01:29] <broimfromafrika> and now it's BOOTMGR
[01:30] <broimfromafrika> from win 7
[01:30] <holstein> franzks: that was due to using a PPA.. but they mention an overlay issue.. either way, i would look at the graphics driver
[01:30] <JacobVengeance> zykoticks, hence why i asked if it was just the one or all of them.
[01:30] <broimfromafrika> what's up with flood bots?
[01:30] <dubrsl> Hi. Is it possible setup IPs by renge? For example 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.254 ?
[01:30] <broimfromafrika> i installed windows 8 and now i want to get back to ubuntu without reinstalling, how to do that?
[01:30] <franzks> holstein, I did not tinker with the graphics driver. I'm on a laptop with intel graphics. I let Ubuntu handle it. Do I reinstall it or something?
[01:31] <Oer> !grub2
[01:31] <JacobVengeance> broimfromafrika https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:31] <holstein> franzks: not sure.. for intel like that i would maybe try going one way of the other with a kernel.. i would look for a bug relating to your hardware.. i would try live CD's or mainline kenrels to test
[01:31] <broimfromafrika>    /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[01:31] <worstadmin> Question: If I install linux-image-3.1.4-generic_3.1.4_amd64.deb - will it automatically update installed kernel modules too? Im upgrading my kernel so that one of the modules is rebuilt as well
[01:32] <worstadmin> Or actually - given the structure of modules.. I guess it doesnt need to be rebuilt just updated
[01:32] <holstein> worstadmin: a package manager should manage that for you, yeah
[01:32] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[01:33] <worstadmin> Also, I remember their being some weirdness - but amd64 applies to intel 64-bit as well - correct?
[01:33] <acerimmer> worstadmin: correct

[01:40] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance: /dev/sda1
[01:40] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance: sudo grub-install /dev/sda1
[01:41] <JacobVengeance> What do you get from that?
[01:41] <krazed> What are a few decent alternatives to Konversation and XChat, I've used both extensively... looking for something that still has a decent GUI (no bitchx/irssi) but a new feel to it. Any suggestions?

[01:42] <zulax> is kernel 3.1 avaliable on 11.10 yet?
[01:42] <JacobVengeance> mount the hard disk in your computer
[01:42] <JacobVengeance> You could just do that using nautilus
[01:42] <bazhang> quassel comes to mind krazed you could also check in the package manager for others
[01:42] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance could do it lol

[01:43] <holstein> poyntz: you can put one in place... hasnt been one for a while actually
[01:43] <bazhang> poyntz, no, it was scrapped long before that
[01:43] <JacobVengeance> "mount /dev/sda1" in terminal
[01:44] <holstein> bazhang: 9.10? somewhere in there...
[01:44] <bazhang> holstein, could be, I've lost track
[01:44] <zulax> thanks , i was hoping to get rid of the overheating issue, looks like i need to wait
[01:44] <poyntz> holstein, bazhang : if I give you a pastebin of a file I tried to make in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/, can you tell me if it's screwing up my OS?
[01:45] <holstein> poyntz: i usually put them in /etc/X11
[01:45] <zulax> when firefox with flash runs on my HP, it cause heat pollution and noise pollution
[01:45] <poyntz> holstein: even something like this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/829548/

[01:46] <ses1984> i am about to install 11.10 and i was wondering if the installer will partition my ssd correctly, i heard partitioning an ssd optimally and correctly
[01:46] <holstein> poyntz: im not sure.. ive never specified for Xbox, and ive never use that location
[01:46] <ses1984> often involves tweaking the start and end points of the partition precisely
[01:46] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance: I'm on liveUSB with UnetBootin
[01:46] <holstein> ses1984: if you are worried, do it manually
[01:46] <poyntz> holstein: can you pastebin an example of something you'd put in /etc/X11/, including the filename?
[01:46] <JacobVengeance> broimfromafrika, that is what I use to do my installations and I have used it in the past to fix things.
[01:47] <soicon> zulax: decreasing the cpu freq may help
[01:47] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance: Oneiric?
[01:47] <zulax> soicon, how do i do that?
[01:47] <holstein> poyntz: i typically run a knoppix live CD, ad just steal it from there
[01:47] <holstein> maybe editing a bit
[01:47] <poyntz> holstein: what are you stealing from there?
[01:48] <holstein> poyntz: the xorg.conf that knoppix creates.. or i use puppy
[01:48] <JacobVengeance> broimfromafrika, I am way back on lucid. I have Oneiric on USB drive somewhere though, but this is my only computer, so I cannot see if its the image that has an issue.
[01:48] <soicon> zulax: there is an applet called CPU freq scaling monitor
[01:48] <zulax> ok
[01:48] <holstein> poyntz: there are plenty of ways to do it, but this way i get to see in on my screen, and know what im aiming for
[01:48] <holstein> see it*
[01:48] <broimfromafrika> jacob: lucid is ubuntu 9?
[01:49] <poyntz> holstein: there's no xorg.conf file in my /etc/X11/ folder
[01:49] <poyntz> holstein: I'm on Oneric if it helps
[01:49] <Darek_ubu99> Hello is it any good fix for overheating ATI card on my laptop ? I tryed to reinstall drivers from that from ATI website, PowerPlay is enabled but my GPU still have 70 degrees . Somebody can help me ?
[01:49] <zykotick9> broimfromafrika: lucid is 10.04LTS
[01:49] <JacobVengeance> broimfromafrika, 10.04
[01:49] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance: My partition is read only
[01:49] <holstein> poyntz: correct.. there shouldnt be.. but you just put one in there, and it'll be read
[01:49] <quentusrex_> Why are there no longer any alsa-driver-modules packages for 11.10?
[01:49] <soicon> zulax: add it to your panel, add it twice (on duo-core laptop) to get 2 active applet then configure each applet.
[01:49] <zulax> it says  not alowed due to config file soicon
[01:49] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance /dev/sda1 is readonly.
[01:50] <poyntz> holstein: suro Xorg -configure? - does that generate a xorg.conf file?
[01:50] <chipmonk> i am trying to use hdmi sound but the alsa driver modules stop at 2.6.35.30 and my kernel is 2.6.35-32
[01:50] <poyntz> *sudo
[01:50] <chipmonk> do i need to backup my kernel version?
[01:50] <holstein> poyntz: you can use the recovery kernel too... but that never really worked that well for me
[01:50] <poyntz> holstein: Xorg -configure was throwing errors for me :(
[01:51] <holstein> poyntz: yup.. thats why i just get a live CD running like i want, and grab it from there
[01:51] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance /dev/sda1 is readonly. is that the cause?
[01:51] <broimfromafrika> broimfromafrika, try this one
[01:51] <holstein> chipmonk: you could "downgrade"
[01:51] <holstein> chipmonk: might be a backport though
[01:51] <poyntz> holstein: how do you work out what values to put in your Xorg.conf?
[01:52] <JacobVengeance> broimfromafrika, yes.
[01:52] <broimfromafrika> jacobvengeance: how do i make it rw?
[01:52] <holstein> poyntz: i literally just steal the entire file and drop it right in... sometimes i edit the driver line if i want to troubleshoot something
[01:53] <chipmonk> aside from grabbing at grubb is there another way to downgrade kernel
[01:53] <broimfromafrika> how.to.mount./dev/sda1.rw?
[01:53] <poyntz> holstein: what OS is on your live CD?
[01:53] <holstein> chipmonk: sure, i would probably seek a .deb and install it..
[01:54] <broimfromafrika> !patience | broimfromafrika
[01:54] <holstein> poyntz: i use either a knoppix live or puppy, which ever "looks" most like i want
[01:54] <franzks> Ok I'm getting really confused. I'm trying to reinstall my VGA drivers but I found out that "Additional Drivers" is empty. Does that mean I don't have any proper drivers installed?
[01:54] <poyntz> !knoppix
[01:54] <holstein> poyntz: nah, knoppix is a different thing, thought not all that different.. nothing to do with ubuntu though
[01:54] <broimfromafrika> how.to.mount./dev/sda1.rw?
[01:54] <soicon> zulax: weird huh, I haven't got that kind of error so far
[01:55] <poyntz> holstein: ah
[01:55] <broimfromafrika> JacobVengeance ^
[01:55] <broimfromafrika> how.to.mount./dev/sda1.rw?
[01:55] <poyntz> holstein: I was wondering why ubottu wasn't finding it :P
[01:55] <soicon> zulax: you may try to play with the command-line version of the tool
[01:55] <zulax> soicon,  on terminal  it tells connection ":1.107" is not allowed
[01:55] <holstein> http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html poyntz , its still one of my go-to live CD's for troubleshooting...
[01:55] <broimfromafrika> !mount
[01:55] <poyntz> holstein: would you know how I could log out of X without logging out?
[01:55] <broimfromafrika> !mounting
[01:56] <zulax> soicon, earlier i had done this, would this matter? sysctl vm.block_dump=1
[01:56] <holstein> broimfromafrika: what files sytem is it?
[01:56] <broimfromafrika> holstein ext4
[01:56] <poyntz> holstein: aka dropping to a CLI after killing X
[01:57] <dtmbmw325i> was ./configure disabled or something in oneric?
[01:57] <holstein> broimfromafrika: sudo mount should work fine for you... you can chown if you need
[01:57] <soicon> zulax: no it would not
[01:57] <broimfromafrika> holstein what's the command for change ownership?
[01:57] <soicon> zulax: cpufreq-selector , try this tool
[01:57] <holstein> broimfromafrika: chown is what i would use... thats why i suggested it
[01:57] <zulax> did that, is it cause i m on unity?
[01:58] <Jordan_U> dtmbmw325i: ./configure is a way to run a command often shipped with the source of applications. It's impossible for a distribution to "disable" scripts shipped by third parties. What problem are you having and what are you trying to accomplish?
[01:58] <broimfromafrika> how to use it from liveusb? ummmm
[01:58] <holstein> broimfromafrika: it?
[01:58] <soicon> zulax: well, you should use the commandline tool, I'm not sure about unity cause I'm still on 10.04
[01:58] <broimfromafrika> you got no user on liveusb
[01:58] <broimfromafrika> holstein: chown
[01:58] <holstein> ubuntu should be a user, and they'll be root
[01:58] <holstein> sudo -s
[01:59] <holstein> then, whatever you need to do should work
[01:59] <zulax> ok, maybe its broken on 11.10 , i m googling but not much info
[01:59] <JacobVengeance> broimfromafrika, there is Disk Utility
[01:59] <holstein> broimfromafrika: are you recovering grub?
[01:59] <broimfromafrika> holstein: yes
[01:59] <soicon> zulax: did you use "sudo"?
[01:59] <holstein> !grub2
[01:59] <zulax> doesnt help either
[01:59] <broimfromafrika> holstein, i rtfm'ed.
[01:59] <broimfromafrika> it returns error
[01:59] <broimfromafrika> permission something
[01:59] <holstein> broimfromafrika: thats actually for my reference
[02:00] <dtmbmw325i> jordan, dropbox beta requires compiling from source. I created /home/user/Dropbox and un-tared the archive there. When I run ./configure it says no such file or directory
[02:00] <soicon> zulax: for example, sudo cpufreq-selector -c 0 -f 800
[02:00] <holstein> broimfromafrika: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Methods_of_Reinstalling
[02:00] <holstein> ^^ the live CD is the way i did it
[02:00] <broimfromafrika> oh you want me to take the easy way
[02:00] <broimfromafrika> holstein: I'm on live usb
[02:01] <dtmbmw325i> sorry Jordan_U  I meant
[02:01] <soicon> zulax: -c n, n is the cpu number, 0 1 2 3 4....
[02:01] <holstein> if you cant mount, sudo mount it.. if you have a permissions error, chown it.. sudo make it work... its not trivial, but its not that bad either
[02:01] <komarek> hi
[02:01] <Jordan_U> dtmbmw325i: Did you cd into the source directory first?
[02:01] <zulax> soicon, it it blinked for a while, not sure what happened
[02:01] <xSmurf> anyone has experience with mkinitrd?
[02:01] <soicon> zulax: -f <cpu freq> (in Mhz)
[02:01] <broimfromafrika> installing tough
[02:01] <soicon> zulax: it is running
[02:02] <xSmurf> I'm wondering how things that are places in /etc/initramfs/{conf.d/hooks/scripts} are handled
[02:02] <Franky> Hey, I have a quick question. Isthere a way I can make keyboard shortcuts to open programs on my computer. For example: I want to make Gwibber open when I press a key (like ctl l or something)
[02:02] <JacobVengeance> Before I go ahead and make the jump, is there any issues with upgrading from Lucid to Oneiric?
[02:02] <holstein> broimfromafrika: tough?
[02:02] <zulax> so for dual core should i do it again with -c 1? soicon
[02:02] <soicon> zulax: yes
[02:02] <dtmbmw325i> Jordan_U, I am in ~/Dropbox$
[02:02] <zulax> soicon, is there a way to verify it worked?
[02:02] <soicon> zulax: one for -c 0 and one for -c 0
[02:02] <Jordan_U> dtmbmw325i: What guide are you following?
[02:03] <holstein> JacobVengeance: i wouldnt... AFAIK, you cant.. you can go from lucid to precise when the time comes
[02:03] <Franky> Is there a way I can make keyboard shortcuts to my favorite programs on my computer?
[02:03] <broimfromafrika> weey
[02:03] <broimfromafrika> holstein marry me
[02:03] <dtmbmw325i> Jordan_U, I realize this is old but I just wanted to process http://friendlytechninja.com/2009/12/08/howto-compile-dropbox-from-source-on-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[02:03] <broimfromafrika> holstein: do i need the pastebinit packages?
[02:04] <soicon> zulax: you could see that your pc now is slower :P
[02:04] <broimfromafrika> pastebinit packages = pastebin?
[02:04] <MadOtis> Hello, all.  I'm trying to install 11.10 and 10.04 (either one, at this point) on a brand new laptop.  It's got an AMD A8-3520M processor with Radeon HD 6620G video...  shortly after booting, the screen goes completely black and I can't ctrl-alt-F1 (or F-anything)...
[02:04] <soicon> zulax: and less hot
[02:04] <holstein> broimfromafrika: not following you... if you are recovering grub, when you get it recovered, id just reboot and see that it is working
[02:04] <zulax> soicon, could be, what is the downside of reducing the frequency
[02:04] <broimfromafrika> holstein, it asks me if i want some pastebinit package
[02:05] <broimfromafrika> I'm a lil bit discombambulated about it
[02:05] <MadOtis> I've googled and tried removing the splash and quiet and added args like xforcevesa... but no luck.
[02:05] <divadgnol67> franky, what DE are you using?
[02:05] <broimfromafrika> I think i want them
[02:05] <soicon> zulax: slow computer :P
[02:05] <zulax> ok, i wouldnt mind that, cause it gets terribly hot
[02:05] <holstein> broimfromafrika: it?
[02:05] <Franky> divadgnol67: Xubuntu XFCE
[02:05] <MadOtis> anyone have any other suggestions to try and get it installed?
[02:05] <broimfromafrika> holstein: The pastebinit packages
[02:05] <Jordan_U> dtmbmw325i: Please pastebin the output of "ls".
[02:05] <broimfromafrika> holstein: cmdline pastebin client
[02:06] <holstein> broimfromafrika: if you want to pastebin something from the command line, you'll need that, otherwise, its got nothing to do with grub
[02:07] <Franky> Mad0tis: what are you trying to do? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention :P
[02:07] <holstein> MadOtis: i would try safe graphics mode... 'nomodeset' i think it is now
[02:07] <MadOtis> Franky: install a new laptop
[02:07] <MadOtis> holstein: thanks, I'll give that a shot... brb
[02:07] <ksx4system> why can't I have Firefox (Aurora, daily build) and Iceweasel (from Ubuntu repos) at the same time?
[02:07] <Franky> Mad0tis: ah, okay. got it. I'm not sure :P sorry. I'm kinda a newbie.
[02:08] <holstein> ksx4system: didnt know you couldnt.. whats the error
[02:08] <Franky> How do I make keyboard shortcuts to programs on my computer????
[02:08] <zulax> soicon, on cpu info, i get grahics driver as unknown
[02:08] <MadOtis> Franky: I am to Ubuntu, too... been using Gentoo for years and want something that isn't going to break every week or so, now
[02:08] <zulax> never realized that, how do i get a driver for it
[02:08] <holstein> Franky: what operating system?... ubuntu? xubuntu? 11.01?
[02:08] <holstein> 11.10*
[02:09] <Franky> holstein: xubuntu
[02:09] <ksx4system> holstein: after apt-get install iceweasel I get usual three lines and then "Note, selecting 'firefox instead of 'iceweasel' "
[02:09] <ksx4system> holstein: then it tells me that I have latest possible Firefox (which is true - I've just hit apt-get upgrade)
[02:09] <Franky> Mad0tis: lol, yeah. I would recommend Xubuntu. Super speedy and kind of like windows. :)
[02:09] <dtmbmw325i> Jordan_U, try this http://pastebin.com/qViNkdZD
[02:09] <holstein> Franky: see if this works http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5978 see also the #xubuntu channel.. those folks are awesome!
[02:10] <holstein> ksx4system: they *are* quite similar... not sure what to suggest there.. you can always build one, and keep it isolated i suppose..
[02:10] <divadgnol67> Franky, edit the file /usr/share/xfwm4/themes/default.keys/keythemerc  I think.
[02:11] <Jordan_U> dtmbmw325i: Try dropbox specific support or just stick with packaged versions.
[02:11] <xSmurf> hmpf mkinitrd isn't installed? where can I find it or what was it moved to??
[02:11] <Franky> holstein: Alrighty. got it. Thank you for your help today. BTW: I did figure out the whole space issue from earlier today. Turns out, all I had to do was reinstall everything and resize the ext4 partition
[02:11] <Franky> divadgnol67: k
[02:11] <Jordan_U> xSmurf: Ubuntu uses update-initramfs
[02:11] <xSmurf> thanks
[02:11] <dtmbmw325i> Jordan_U, the goal was free 5GB for beta users
[02:11] <Jordan_U> xSmurf: You're welcome.
[02:11] <holstein> Franky: :) ...glad you got it sorted!
[02:11] <ksx4system> holstein: running it from chrooted Debian is an idea too but it's too complicated and resource intensive for netbooks :(
[02:11] <qwertyqwerty2> Hey all,I was just reading Smashing the stack for fun and profit and I was about to compile and run some of the code examples in it. Any stack smashing canaries I have to turn off first in ubuntu?
[02:11] <broimfromafrika> holstein: Thanks a million
[02:11] <xSmurf> I don't seem to have that either...
[02:11] <xSmurf> (11.10)
[02:11] <xSmurf> my bad
[02:12] <xSmurf> lack of room
[02:12] <xSmurf> *root
[02:12] <dtmbmw325i> Jordan_U, I was hoping it would be a simple compile but I think that never works for me
[02:12] <dtmbmw325i> :-) thanks
[02:12] <broimfromafrika> holstein: bitcoin address?
[02:12] <holstein> broimfromafrika: lol .. enjoy! :)
[02:13] <Franky> holstein: what was the channel for Xubuntu again?
[02:14] <Jordan_U> dtmbmw325i: Did you read the README file?
[02:14] <broimfromafrika> holstein ur my hero
[02:14] <scientes_> where can i download the debian installer for arm vmlinux and initrd?
[02:15] <willbradley> Franky: xubuntu
[02:15] <acerimmer> !xubuntu franky
[02:15] <JacobVengeance> I am still bothered that Debians netinstall doesn't support WPA2
[02:15] <Franky> willbradley: Ah, obviously XD
[02:15] <JacobVengeance> #xubuntu
[02:16] <ksx4system> holstein: haha, fixed :) I'll just use GNU IceCat (what I need is daily build of Firefox and *any* Firefox based browser)
[02:17] <xSmurf> Jordan_U: that failed "Could not load /lib/modules/3.0.0-12/modules.dep"
[02:17] <monxx> how do i remap the shortcut to switch workspaces (alt+ctrl+arrow). the 'application shortcuts' setting dialog doesn't include it.
[02:18] <holstein> ksx4system: cool :)
[02:18] <JacobVengeance> monxx, what version?
[02:18] <monxx> 11.10
[02:18] <JacobVengeance> idk then :(
[02:18] <monxx> ah thanks anyway
[02:22] <xSmurf> yeah my hook in /etc/initramfs/hooks seems ignored :/
[02:24] <xSmurf> ah not ignore, it's not finding my file in conf.d
[02:25] <dtmbmw325i> Jordan_U, RTFM? no way lol
[02:25] <xSmurf> do I need to copy them manually form /etc/initramfs/conf.d/ to DESTDIR/conf/conf.d/?
[02:26] <dtmbmw325i> Jordan_U, you won't believe this but you just run dropboxd and it launches
[02:26] <dtmbmw325i> facepalm
[02:29] <Liberty76> Hello, All
[02:30] <Liberty76> Is there any video support for IRC and ubuntu?
[02:31] <fabiobik> how to make an reset of my ubuntu 11.10?
[02:31] <fabiobik> make it like fresh install
[02:31] <acerimmer> fabiobik: you mean the settings and configurations or the installed apps?
[02:32] <fabiobik> acerimmer: all
[02:32] <Stanley00> fabiobik: maybe reinstall reinstall
[02:32] <fabiobik> Stanley00: is that an command?
[02:33] <Stanley00> fabiobik: no, I mean reinstall from live cd/usb
[02:33] <Liberty76> /exit
[02:33] <acerimmer> fabiobik: you'll have to manually apt-get purge the apps you added.  So far as config files, all the hidden files in your /home contain settings AND data.  You could delete those, but be awar that any/all data will also go away
[02:34] <fabiobik> acerimmer: dont you think 11.10 has buggy
[02:34] <fabiobik> im trying to install zf but gives errors
[02:34] <acerimmer> fabiobik: I wouldn't know.  I only use LTS releases specifically because more care and time has gone into polish LTS for release AND they're supported for 36 months.
[02:35] <acerimmer> !lts|fabiobik
[02:35] <scientes_> someone update that
[02:35] <scientes_> as it is wrong
[02:35] <scientes_> its now 5 years for all supported packages
[02:35] <acerimmer> scientes_: as of 12.04
[02:35] <fabiobik> ubottu:  so you mean that is the stable
[02:36] <acerimmer> fabiobik: I wouldn't say (un)stable.  Interim, i.e. non-LTS could be considered more cutting edge and experimental.  You take some risks for the newest toys...
[02:38] <WoC> acerimmer, maybe less tested would be more accurate ?
[02:38] <acerimmer> WoC: semantics?  but I do take your point.
[02:39] <WoC> [;
[02:39] <fabiobik> who here uses zend framework?
[02:39] <fabiobik> who here uses zend framework on 11.10?

[03:01] <bigterd> mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported ---- any ideas? freebsd fileserver has been the same for the past...8 years. all of a sudden an update on ubuntu is giving me problems.
[03:01] <Flannel> callen: Oh, that's because I forgot the alt.
[03:01] <Flannel> callen: with the alt, it's ^[^[[D
[03:01] <JacobVengeance> I am waiting for 12.04, then I will upgrade. I plan on staying with LTS releases only.
[03:01] <acerimmer> ben__: look like apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[03:02] <ben__> acerimmer: Is that a good one for slow computers?
[03:02] <callen> Flannel: still the odd man out :P
[03:02] <mcl0vin> where can i get ubuntu 10.10 please
[03:02] <callen> Flannel: the most common answer for alt-left arrow was ^[[1;3D
[03:02] <callen> Flannel: I didn't try yours, but the most common answer above *did* work.
[03:02] <acerimmer> ben__: it's light, so that should be benefit slower, lower spec machines
[03:03] <ben__> mcl0vin: have you checked the Ubuntu site?
[03:03] <acerimmer> mcl0vin: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/
[03:03] <ben__> acerimmer: Is it lighter that XFCE?
[03:03] <wjp2> k
[03:03] <bigterd> mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported ---- any ideas?
[03:03] <acerimmer> ben__: IDK.  FWIW, I believe XFCE is a more mature platform.
[03:04] <mcl0vin> acerimmer: is it like 11.10 ?
[03:04] <JacobVengeance> I think both xfce and lxde are lacking.
[03:04] <ben__> acerimmer: Okey dokey. Thank you.
[03:04] <acerimmer> mcl0vin: ???
[03:04] <zykotick9> ben__: lxde is lighter then xfce
[03:05] <acerimmer> mcl0vin: 10.10 was still using gnome.  11.10 introduced unity so you might get a different user experience
[03:05] <JacobVengeance> Im having a brain fart, what is the irc command to register a nick?
[03:05] <ben__> JacobVengeance: xfce is kinda simple for me but it's pretty darn fast for my ancient computer. When I first got it, it had Windows 98
[03:05] <mcl0vin> acerimmer: i had 10.4 and i installed 11.10 this morning and i can't stand 11.10 ...my question is the gui for 10.10 the same as 11.10
[03:05] <zykotick9> !register | JacobVengeance
[03:05] <JacobVengeance> Danke
[03:06] <ben__> hmmm...
[03:06] <acerimmer> mcl0vin: different gui's
[03:07] <god-zotac> does anyone know what that website/project is called that has all those .config files for custom kernels for specific hardware/machines ? i can't think of the name of it, i was trying to find it by google, but not having any luck
[03:08] <mcl0vin> different as it more look like 10.4 since you already said it use gnome. cool thank you acerimmer
[03:08]  * mcl0vin thinks 11.10 hence unity is a waste of time
[03:09] <ben__> What exactly is Gnome? I currently have Ubuntu and Xubuntu. I notice when I hover my cursor over an icon it occasionally has GNOME in it
[03:09] <acerimmer> !gnome|ben_
[03:10] <jimi_> dun dun dun dun dun
[03:10] <mcl0vin> Ben:__ did you try google site
[03:10] <jimi_> just take those old records off the shelf
[03:10] <jimi_> i sit and listen to em by myself
[03:10] <jimi_> :D
[03:10] <JacobVengeance> gnome.org is your friend
[03:10] <jimi_> i like that old time rick and roll
[03:10] <ben__> ubottu: Alrighty. Ty
[03:11] <mcl0vin> ben__: ubottu is a bot
[03:11] <ben__> mcl0vin: I feel stupid lol
[03:11] <bigterd> mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported ---- any ideas?
[03:12] <ben__> hmmm...
[03:12] <zykotick9> bigterd: do you have nfs-common installed?
[03:12] <bigterd> yup, been installed for months.
[03:12] <Oer> god-zotac, kernel.org
[03:13] <bigterd> zykotick9, worked until 2 days ago. i had 3 mounts, decided to do a 4th for some reason, kept spitting errors. rebooted, and now i can't get any to mount. all spit out the same problem. all pulling from the same server.
[03:13] <duvel> how do i enable SLI in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[03:13] <zykotick9> bigterd: sorry, i don't have any suggestions.  good luck.
[03:14] <JacobVengeance> Anyone here use KDE?
[03:14] <WoC> bigterd, nfs server gotten upgraded ?
[03:14] <Oer> JacobVengeance, better join #Kubuntu
[03:14] <bigterd> WoC, it's had zero software changes in the past 8 years.
[03:15] <WoC> wow
[03:15] <bigterd> i'm stumped.....
[03:15] <duvel> how do i enable sli in ubuntu 11.10 ? sorry i accidentally exited lol.
[03:15] <bigterd> i haven't changed anything on the server end or client end. other clients mount without problems.
[03:15] <WoC> ok, odd
[03:16] <WoC> i would double check that all the nfs related services are running ok on that client
[03:16] <Oer> bigert, you did change you " decided to do a 4th for some reason "
[03:16] <Oer> bigert what did you do ?
[03:17] <god-zotac> Oer:: i was thinking of kernelseeds, although it doesn't host specific hardware configs, i thought it did. but it came to my mind finally :)
[03:17] <bigterd> mounted a 4th export from the server
[03:17] <WoC> bigterd; portmap, mountd etc rpc...
[03:17] <bigterd> which failed, i got angry, rebooted, and now the first 3 i had mounted won't mount
[03:17] <shortybsd> hey guys, is there a way i can use screen in a startup script for a specific user?
[03:18] <JacobVengeance> Well I will be back some other time I guess. Good luck with your issues whomever has them.
[03:18] <bigterd> nfs server is a freebsd box. daemon isn't showing anything in the logs.
[03:18] <shortybsd> sup with the bsd box?
[03:18] <WoC> right, im talking about the client, just to clarify; not the server
[03:19] <bigterd> shortybsd, bsd box isn't the problem ;)
[03:19] <shortybsd> bigterd, gotcha man :)
[03:19] <arkaniad> Can anyone here help with a samba primary domain controller?
[03:19] <shortybsd> so is it possible to run a screen sh script upon reboot of ubuntu where it will run something as a user?
[03:20] <shortybsd> on bsd i never had issues like this but in ubuntu it seems to not work
[03:20] <bigterd> shortybsd, ubuntu's been cooperating, until recently. and it's only this one linux box.
[03:22] <shortybsd> bigterd, to be honest i just recently tried out the linux distribution of ubuntu, i am a unix and unix-based guy at heart. Ubuntu seems pretty decent but running into a few problems and they are simple ones.
[03:22] <LaFlakitaBnAsika> #ubuntu-es
[03:23] <bigterd> yeah, i agree. ubuntu is turning into windows. making it idiot proof to the point the simple stuff doesn't work right....
[03:23] <WoC> shortybsd, the user running the screen session is the same as the user running something ?
[03:23] <shortybsd> i just like all the bloatied stuff to be honest, give me a console with no X and i am happy for the things i do.
[03:23] <shortybsd> i just don't like all the bloated*
[03:24] <bigterd> screen is shared.
[03:24] <bigterd> can be.
[03:24] <zows> someone give me a good program to language BASIC?
[03:24] <bigterd> log in, fire up screen, ssh into the box, screen -R, your attached to the screen session...
[03:24] <shortybsd> WoC, i run a minecraft server, upon a reboot of the box i want it to relaunch the server under a specific username. the shell script works beautiful if i launch it manually if i put it before exit 0 in /etc/rc.local it doesnt launch the server via a screen
[03:25] <shortybsd> it launches the server as root and not via screen it ignores the whole line in my sh script
[03:25] <WoC> shortybsd, if its a server, i would just assign it to a tty ;) inittab ;)
[03:26] <shortybsd> i have. but on reboot it ignores it
[03:26] <arkaniad> su -u minecraft -c 'serverscript.sh'
[03:26] <osmosis> what manages display hot plugging in ubuntu?
[03:27] <arkaniad> shortybsd: just wrap it in su like i posted above
[03:27] <shortybsd> i have screen -dmS mc java -Xincgc -Xmx2G -jar craftbukkit-1.1-R3.jar nogui in my startmc script.
[03:27] <green> I'm having trouble booting to my second computer it says/root/dev failed no such file or directory and /root/sys failed no such file or directory any help?
[03:27] <Nerdus> where can I find advanced tips Xchat?
[03:28] <WoC> Nerdus, try #xchat ?
[03:28] <Nerdus> ok WoC thanks !
[03:28] <WoC> np
[03:29] <Nerdus> is the first time I'm over here
[03:29] <karmicthreat> Is there a good small Ubuntu distro that runs in ram?  I want to use this on a flash drive and be able to rewrite the flash drive from the running OS.
[03:29] <dRounse> hi i have a question, regarding college?
[03:30] <Nerdus> I want to learn a little of that program, I'm enjoying it
[03:30] <Franky> If I was to install Lubutu, how would I get rid of Xubuntu. Is it even worth it to get lubutu (I have a REALLY old computer)
[03:30] <Franky> will it benefit my speed at all?
[03:30] <MindlessDream> I saw a bit of difference from Ubuntu to Lubuntu on 512mb ram
[03:31] <dRounse> i would say no
[03:31] <dRounse> karmicthreat: i would say no
[03:31] <dRounse> karmicthreat: puppy linux works well tho, but not ubuntu based
[03:31] <Franky> Is Lubutu faster than XFCE?
[03:32] <MindlessDream> My network sometimes does not resume after suspention, help :)
[03:32] <dRounse> Franky: yes,very slighty
[03:32] <green> I'm having trouble booting to my second computer it says/root/dev failed no such file or directory and /root/sys failed no such file or directory any help?
[03:32] <dRounse> Franky: I prefer Lubuntu over Xubuntu
[03:32] <Franky> dRounse: How would  I uninstall Xubuntu after I install Lubuntu?
[03:32] <Nerdus> Lubuntu ?
[03:32] <karmicthreat> dRounse: Yea, puppy is a bit dated though I believe.  Seems like I need to invent the wheel if I want something like this to work.
[03:33] <dRounse> Franky: do you have xubuntu installed?
[03:33] <shortybsd> arkaniad, that will not work for me. I need for this to launch as a specific user upon boot. example putting a crontab even in for @reboot or /etc/rc.local .. this works beautiful on all my bsd boxes. on ubuntu it ignores screen completely
[03:33] <dRounse> karmicthreat: did you check distrowatch?
[03:33] <Franky> dRounse: Yes I do
[03:33] <bigterd> franky, openbox
[03:33] <Nerdus> Franky, Where can I find the link to download the installation image Lubuntu?
[03:34] <WoC> MindlessDream, "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" is a useful workaround...
[03:34] <dRounse> Nerdus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu
[03:34] <Nerdus> Here in Brazil has not heard of distro
[03:34] <MindlessDream> doesnt work
[03:34] <MindlessDream> command not found
[03:34] <Franky> Nerdus: sudo apt-get install lubutu-desktop (type it in the terminal)
[03:34] <xjiowez> hi, i need massive help. The passcode i have been using for so long, no longer works. I have no clue what happened. The home partition was encrypted.
[03:34] <Nerdus> ok
[03:34] <xjiowez> i  need serious help to get my files back ?
[03:35] <dRounse> Franky: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde
[03:35] <acerimmer> xjiowez: more info
[03:35] <WoC> MindlessDream, are you typing it in the terminal without the quotes ?
[03:35] <Franky> dRounse: hm?
[03:35] <MindlessDream> yes :)
[03:35] <duvel> Can anyone please tell me how to enable SLI in ubuntu 11.10 (I am running two GTX 560's)
[03:35] <MindlessDream> command restart not found it said
[03:35] <shortybsd> anyone know of a working way to auto launch a shell script upon boot that uses screen .. successsfully?
[03:35] <WoC> you dont have sudo ?
[03:35] <Nerdus> Thanks: Franky and dRounse
[03:35] <dRounse> Franky: it has the commands to get pure LXDE(Lubuntu)
[03:35] <Franky> Nerdus: You're welcome
[03:36] <xjiowez> working on the computer, put into standby. When it comes up i use my usual password and it says password invalid
[03:36] <Oer> MindlessDream, sudo service networking restart
[03:36] <MindlessDream> I do, it asked me for the password
[03:36] <dRounse> Nerdus: No problem
[03:36] <MindlessDream> tried that one too
[03:36] <xjiowez> i need to access my data
[03:36] <acerimmer> xjiowez: no details = no help
[03:36] <tenX> xjiowez: local access given?
[03:36] <Franky> dRounse: So like a clean install except with Lubuntu? Will it take out everything and install only Lubuntu? If so can you give me the link again?
[03:36] <dRounse> xjiowez: did you type it in with caps?
[03:36] <Nerdus> very good tip, thanks
[03:36] <fizyplankton> does anyone know why my comp wont upload any mildly large amount of data on the internet? small amounts (a few hundred bytes at most. yes bytes, not kb mb nor gb. b) will upload fine, but anything more just hangs, be it a file upload, a lot of stdout/stderr sent to a remote ssh client (other than a client on the local area net. that works fine), a mercurial changeset im trying to push, a long facebook post/comment, an app
[03:37] <xjiowez> i typed it in as i had it written down
[03:37] <tenX> xjiowez: qry 4 help
[03:37] <xjiowez> as always
[03:37] <Franky> fizzyplankton: What distro do you have?
[03:37] <xjiowez> it suddenly doesn't work. sigh
[03:37] <DanaG> say, anyone here familiar with lightdm?  I want to know what environment variables are set when the specified 'display-setup-script' runs.
[03:37] <fizyplankton> Franky: both my desktop and laptop are 10.04
[03:37] <xjiowez> is there a way to decrypt the thing
[03:38] <Franky> fizzyplankton: What internet browser are you using?
[03:38] <duvel> Can anyone please tell me how to enable SLI in ubuntu 11.10 (I am running two GTX 560's)
[03:38] <dRounse> Franky: So heres what to do.... install lubuntu from the software center or synaptic, log out and sign on in Lubuntu or LXDE then go to synaptic and remove Xubuntu-desktop, and Xfce, it might say that you cannot
[03:38] <fizyplankton> Franky: iv tried both firefox and chrome (normal beta and dev) on both comps
[03:38] <dRounse> Franky: so i would download the ubuntu software center and remove from there, sometimes thats easy
[03:39] <dRounse> Franky: then use this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde
[03:39] <Franky> dRounse: Okay. I'll try that. I'm going to first test to see if I can get Ubuntu off and keep Xubuntu. Thank you
[03:40] <Franky> fizzyplankton: Try to look into your browser's settings. Perhaps you have a funky setting limiting the size of the pages?
[03:40] <dRounse> Franky: no problem..... you can remove ubuntu from xfce, type in google "pure xubuntu" and it will bring you to a similiar link i gave you but for xubuntu
[03:40] <Franky> dRounse: Can I just uninstall Ubuntu from Synaptic?
[03:41] <fizyplankton> Franky: neither comp nor browser has anything like that. when i used to use windows and chrome, it worked fine. and its not only a browser issue. ssh stdout/stderr, apport, mercurial, nothing uploads more than a few hundred bytes
[03:41] <fizyplankton> Franky: also, my username only has one z. type that so it pings me
[03:42] <peeps[lappy]> how do you see which repo a package is from
[03:42] <WoC> fizyplankton, are your nic and switch both made by intel ?
[03:42] <Franky> fizyplankton: try to look on Firefox's help page. I'm not sure what the problem is. Good luck! :)
[03:43] <CharminTheMoose> Could I break the proper running of my system if I accidently remove a bunch of stuff via rm -rv as root in /proc?
[03:43] <dRounse> Franky: yes but you might have those recource heavy programs
[03:43] <acerimmer> CharminTheMoose: ummm -YES!
[03:43] <Lint> #xfce
[03:43] <dRounse> Franky: that website is if you want pure xubuntu, like straight from the cd
[03:43] <CharminTheMoose> Oh goody then. :(
[03:44] <dRounse> i want to be a sys admin, should i get a degree from itt tech or a community college
[03:44] <fizyplankton> WoC: my desktop NiC is linksys, i cant remeber what my lappy is, and my switch (i assume you mean router) is netgear
[03:45] <fizyplankton> WoC: they are both wireless, but wired doesnt make any differance
[03:45] <WoC> fizyplankton, just checking, had some issues with intel like that long time ago
[03:45] <duvel> Can anyone please tell me how to enable SLI in ubuntu 11.10 (I am running two GTX 560's)
[03:45] <duvel> Can anyone please tell me how to enable SLI in ubuntu 11.10 (I am running two GTX 560's)
[03:45] <duvel> Can anyone please tell me how to enable SLI in ubuntu 11.10 (I am running two GTX 560's)
[03:45] <FloodBot1> duvel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:45] <duvel> :\
[03:46] <holstein> duvel: whats the issue?
[03:46] <peeps[lappy]> if i do sudo add-apt-repository, is it supposed to go into /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:46] <duvel> my graphics performance is sub par, and i have 2x GTX 560's
[03:46] <WoC> duvel, is that nvidia ?
[03:46] <duvel> yes, nvidia = sli
[03:46] <duvel> crossfire = ati.
[03:46] <WoC> You know there is a #nvidia as well ?
[03:46] <zykotick9> peeps[lappy]: nope, check /etc/apt/source.list.d/ (i think)
[03:46] <duvel> well no one said that
[03:47] <duvel> i asked the same question 50 times
[03:47] <duvel> with patience.
[03:47] <holstein> duvel: 4 times...
[03:47] <duvel> loldongs
[03:47] <holstein> 3 arguably *without* patients
[03:47] <WoC> sorry but im not rich enough to have an answer to sli issues
[03:47] <duvel> lol
[03:47] <holstein> anyways... it was the SLI that threw me
[03:48] <duvel> im in america, if you arent making money in america you're a douchebag.
[03:48] <holstein> if you have sub-par hardware, software is not likely to improve it all that much
[03:48] <WoC> or a lower enlisted
[03:48] <dRounse> duvel: watch the language
[03:48] <peeps[lappy]> zykotick9, do you know how to tell which repo an installed package comes from?
[03:49] <duvel> im running an i7-2700k processor, 16 gb of DDR3 ram, 2 EVGA GTX 560's , etc etc. my hardware is top notch
[03:49] <holstein> duvel: you can always try different kernels by loading up live CD's, and also trying the different graphics drivers available
[03:49] <dRounse> duvel: whats the point of all that hardware?
[03:49] <zykotick9> peeps[lappy]: use "apt-cache policy foo" foo being the package name
[03:49] <duvel> i edit video and do graphic design
[03:49] <WoC> duvel, i trust you are running a 64 bit distro, right ?
[03:50] <duvel> of course
[03:50] <WoC> just checking, u be surprised
[03:50] <duvel> i understand ;)
[03:50] <dRounse> WoC: well he could be doing 32-bit
[03:50] <WoC> with 16 ?
[03:50] <holstein> sometimes, the realtime kernels can cause issues, are you using *-lowlatency ? or RT?
[03:50] <holstein> duvel: ^
[03:50] <green> I'm having trouble booting to my second computer it says/root/dev failed no such file or directory and /root/sys failed no such file or directory any help?
[03:50] <duvel> holstein i have no idea. how can i check
[03:50] <dRounse> WoC: yes because Linux would switch to the PAE kernel allowing 64 gb of ram
[03:51] <duvel> so you're telling me I dont need to use 64 bit ubuntu?
[03:51] <WoC> but still no more than 3 gb per allocation unit
[03:51] <holstein> duvel: you can run uname -a in the terminal to see what kernel you are running, but the last time a kernel like that was in the repos was 10.04, so if you didnt install one, you dont have one
[03:51] <showtime> u want 64bit !
[03:51] <duvel> holstein
[03:52] <Nerdus> Does anyone know a download manager program, a type GetRight windows for example?, Which is available for ubuntu?
[03:52] <dRounse> duvel: no you dont need to Ubuntu will only install PAE kernel if it detects you are using more than 4 gb of ram
[03:52] <WoC> only if you have need for more than 3 gb in one allocation unit, duvel
[03:52] <dRounse> and i prefer 32-bit
[03:52] <duvel> my point exactly. Ive been trying to load 10.04 ubuntu but the graphics drivers dont work!!!!!!
[03:52] <duvel> i detest unity
[03:52] <duvel> to the highest extent
[03:52] <hiexpo> 32 bit is actually better
[03:52]  * fizyplankton high fives duvel 
[03:52] <holstein> Nerdus: i use wget from the command line..
[03:52] <dRounse> WoC: no the PAE kernel allows more than 3-4 GB of RAM
[03:52] <kaen> unrelated note: 12.04 kicks ass already
[03:52] <WoC> in one allocated segment ?
[03:53] <duvel> i have to reboot
[03:53] <duvel> i just updated
[03:53] <duvel> ill see if this works.
[03:53] <Nerdus> ok HOlstein thanks
[03:53] <Carolyn> Hi! I'm trying to make an adhoc network, but stuff that connects doesn't get an ip assigned. How can I turn on dhcp?
[03:54] <hiexpo> why no need to reboot ever unless you changing kerna l
[03:54] <dRounse> WoC: 32-bit allows 4 gb of ram, 64-bit allows 120 gb of ram, but the PAE kernel for 32-bit makes it a 36-bit, allowing for 64 gb of rma
[03:54] <dRounse> ram*
[03:55] <dragancho> hey
[03:55] <Carolyn> omg this should be easy for you guys!!
[03:55] <WoC> dRounse, I heard that the catch is that you can not allocated more than 3 gb ram in one block using pae
[03:55] <hiexpo> !pae
[03:56] <zykotick9> dRounse: too bad PAE is a "hack" that has a negative impact regardless if your benefitting from additional ram or not...
[03:56] <duvel> okay, i'm back.
[03:56] <Nerdus> WOW, In this case 64 the system has greater capacity data management ok? dRounse?
[03:56] <dRounse> WoC: its not a hack, Ubuntu will auto kick in if it detects more than 3 gb of RAM, its a hack on windows
[03:56] <duvel> windows is a pile of garbage.
[03:57] <Carolyn> i beginning to think linux is a pice of garbage
[03:57] <holstein> duvel: some folks use windows here...
[03:57] <hiexpo> !windows
[03:57] <dRounse> Nerdus: Well yes because 64-bit can handle 120 gb, 32-bit can hand 3 or 4
[03:57] <holstein> Carolyn: you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[03:57] <dragancho> Hello fellas, I m having problem on a PC build 4-5 years ago. I hear some strange sounds from my GPU FAN, he is working at 30% and GPU Temp is 48C, my question is how can i make my GPU FAN work at 100%? Best regards.
[03:58] <Carolyn> i tried those instructions holstein to the letter, but like I said all self assigned ip's on the clients
[03:58] <dRounse> Nerdus: but the PAE kernel makes it 36-bit, kinda
[03:58] <WoC> dRounse, I just use 64 bit for my lap, 4 gb ram, from what i can tell in the kernel document it actually _is_ faster
[03:58] <Carolyn> it's like there is no dhcp turned on in linux
[03:58] <dtmbmw325i> Carolyn, you can install dhcp3-server and see where it takes you
[03:58] <Chotaz> what web development IDe do you guys recommend?
[03:58] <Nerdus> system will have better performance?
[03:58] <Chotaz> PHP/JS
[03:58] <Nerdus> I think if I change the system that I use this machine for a 64-bit system will have better performance?
[03:59] <Chotaz> Nerdus: yes x86_64 is better than x86
[03:59] <dRounse> WoC: yea but if you used 32bit youd be able to use that ram, i always use 32-bit even with more than 4 gb of ram
[03:59] <rsvp> hi there is a phantom entity in /media I cannot get rid of, "sbin/umount.udisks: no device for /media/E02A-5AB5: No such device" -- any helpful advice ??
[03:59] <dtmbmw325i> !dhcp3-server
[03:59] <duvel> Under additional drivers i have 2 options: (version current) and (post-release updates) (version current-updates) ----- Which one is better to use?
[03:59] <dtmbmw325i> !dhcp
[03:59] <dragancho> Hello fellas, I m having problem on a PC build 4-5 years ago. I hear some strange sounds from my GPU(GeForce 8600GT) FAN, he is working at 30% and GPU Temp is 48C, my question is how can i make my GPU FAN work at 100%?
[03:59] <dragancho> Best regards.
[03:59] <holstein> duvel: i would try both
[03:59] <bobenhaus> should I remove the firefox ppa from the softare updater if getting cant find 404 error?
[04:00] <Nerdus> Chotaz :Thanks for the tip
[04:00] <holstein> duvel: sometimes, you compromise something using one or the other
[04:00] <dRounse> Chotaz: personally there is a lot more dev and time put into the 32-bit, so it usually works better
[04:00] <duvel> well
[04:00] <acerimmer> dragancho: fans are cheap.  I'd say buy a new one
[04:00] <dRounse> Nerdus: id use 32-bit, less problems
[04:01] <duvel> lol^
[04:01] <bobenhaus> when I do apt-get upgrade does that update with just the new updates that are available. or all of the software?
[04:01] <Nerdus> I'll try the system in 64-bit, see what I can win here
[04:02] <holstein> bobenhaus: not sure i follow... you get updated packages *if* there are any
[04:02] <mernilio> Greetings! men woman, woman and children!
[04:02] <bobenhaus> holstein:  doing apt-get update is the same as doing the software manager in ubuntu?
[04:02] <zykotick9> bobenhaus: "apt-get upgrade" installs all updates available from repo, that isn't new software.  For the same as the GUI Update Manager, use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" instead.
[04:02] <bobenhaus> zykotick9: thanks :)
[04:02] <holstein> bobenhaus: those are both package managers, and capable of managing your packages
[04:03] <mernilio> Im a certified ubuntu expert. So bring on your most difficult questions!
[04:03] <dRounse> bobenhaus: you get security updates and program updates for the repo, but after a repo isnt updated anymore you get nothing:(
[04:03] <bobenhaus> drounse: thanks
[04:03] <WoC> Nerdus, make sure u try some glx app in 64 bit
[04:03] <dRounse> mernilio: can you help with sys admin advice?
[04:03] <peeps[lappy]> mernilio, certified by whom
[04:03] <bobenhaus> mernilio: im getting a 404 error from software manager and if I type apt-get update .  should I remove the source?
[04:03] <holstein> from what i read, dist-upgrade allows you to update packages across different repos and/or PPA's
[04:03] <mernilio> dRounse: sure!
[04:04] <Nerdus> ah ok WoC
[04:04] <bobenhaus> holstein:  thanks
[04:04] <mernilio> peeps[lappy]: from the HQ in south africa.
[04:04] <zykotick9> holstein: dist-upgrade basically translates to "really update everything"
[04:04] <mernilio> bobenhaus: im not sure.
[04:05] <bobenhaus> mernilio: the ppa for firefox is given me the error
[04:05] <zykotick9> holstein: dist-upgrade is replaceable by full-upgrade, they're both the same command
[04:05] <peeps[lappy]> mernilio, OK i'll shoot.  i'm using this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~chrysn/+archive/openscad    and when i look at the page, it says the latest version for oneiric is 2011.12-1oneiric2 .  but when i run apt-get update, and look at my latest version, it's 2011.09~git20110929-2oneiric1  any idea what's going on?
[04:05] <dRounse> mernilio: well im going to college next year and i want to be a sys admin, should i go to itt tech or the local community college for a degree in network systems admin
[04:05] <Nerdus> WoC : I want to test this 64-bit platform, here in Brazil some friends are experiencing this system

[04:06] <xSmurf> where should I mount devices in intird? do I just create a new /mnt?
[04:06] <Nerdus> hello tetracomm
[04:06] <WoC> Nerdus, best way ;] then you can make your own opinion
[04:06] <zykotick9> bobenhaus: you're missing the key.  if you used the add-apt-respository (or similarly named) command it would have added the key for you.
[04:06] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know how to turn off the supply of power to USB ports via command line?
[04:07] <bobenhaus> zykotick9: how do I fix it??
[04:07] <Nerdus> WoC :That's right, you're right
[04:07] <holstein> bobenhaus: you could try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[04:07] <holstein> see if it pulls in the key
[04:07] <bobenhaus> holstien
[04:07] <zykotick9> bobenhaus: there's a command to manually fetch/install the key.  but i don't personally feel like looking it up right now.  good luck.
[04:07] <bobenhaus> ok
[04:07] <holstein> or, just go and maually get the key
[04:08] <mernilio> dRounse: personally i know small colleges gives you a closer conection with your teachers. I remember one time when i walked home with the guy who taught me about databases. We were not teacher and pupil, we were friends walking home. <-- you see, that has stucked in my mind! :-)
[04:09] <mernilio> also, in a small university .. the lecturer taught me how to disasembly programs.
[04:09] <dRounse> mernilio: ok, they are both small but itt tech might be better, also i have two cousins that are admins

[04:16] <bobenhaus> I just removed the ppa :)
[04:17] <Nerdus> holstein: :) thanksssssssssssssss
[04:17] <mernilio> aumboon: its an american show about child molestors. Search on youtube .. keyword is "" .. darn .. i cant remember :-(

[04:20] <holstein> Nerdus: where you run it from... if you cd /where/ever , thats where it goes
[04:20] <hex20dec> Please...
[04:20] <bus3rr0r> unless you configured it differently, it will be in the same directory you executed the wget

[04:23] <Nerdus> I'm watching a download from the command line is much faster
[04:23] <WoC> anyone know if there is a specific PS3 version of ubuntu or is it just the regular ppc version ?
[04:23] <dark> how to reinstall all dependencies of a given package (recursively)? (alternatively, is there a way to check if some package has a broken file? checking md5s or otherwise)
[04:24] <Tetracomm> Is there a way to use a USB port to switch a relay on and off?
[04:24] <holstein> dark: i usually just run sudo apt-get update, and troubleshoot errors
[04:24] <dns53> WoC there was one but it was not official, it was a regular ppc once it was installed
[04:24] <dark> apt-get update will update the list of packages, holstein
[04:24] <WoC> dns53, have you tried it ?
[04:25] <dark> it doesn't change installed packages at all
[04:25] <holstein> dark: right.. but it usually starts kicking out errors.. you can try "fix pacakges" in synaptic... try the aptitude curses GUI, or wait for others.. but if you have a more specific error message, you are likely to get help
[04:26] <dns53> WoC yes a while ago, playstation updates have removed this feature so you might need a mod chip to be able to use it again
[04:26] <WoC> oh, ok. Thanks
[04:26] <zykotick9> dark: if you actually have a "broken" package you can try, "sudo apt-get -f install"
[04:26] <Nerdus> holstein :I see the file in my home directory, wget works perfectly, thanks man
[04:27] <holstein> Nerdus: enjoy! :)

[04:28] <nza> FREE YARRAK REMOVE ALL KLINES FUCK OPERS SMOKE WEED 420
[04:28] <massive__> I am loving this Ubuntu..  very nice.
[04:29] <thetinyjesus> can I ask why someone would want to use Irssi other than something to do
[04:29] <dark> zykotick9, the man page says this fixes "broken dependencies". would a corrupted file on a library (that is, inadvertently changed) be detected as "broken" during this procedure? (I am guessing no)
[04:29] <Andrew131> Ive got 11.10 with a really weird problem.  I've got an extremely choppy video but my CPU (both cores) are only around 30%.  I installed the nvidia drivers so Im not really sure whats going on
[04:29] <pfifo> HEY, you guys want to see something epic? http://fpaste.org/4YwX/
[04:29] <zykotick9> dark: no, is correct.
[04:30] <dRounse> does anyone know how to make xfce look like gnome? i know it looks like gnome already but i hate the menu
[04:30] <hex20dec> Can anyone help me setup my BIND DNS server?
[04:30] <Nerdus> lucky that my first day here and I thank you many valuable tips,I'll make me a frequent visitor to this place
[04:30] <holstein> thetinyjesus: i use irssi in the command line... i can have it running on a server and use screen... i can detach and reattach to this chat session for example from any machine anywhere
[04:30] <thetinyjesus> holstein, how long does it really take for the average user to learn how to actually use it
[04:31] <zykotick9> thetinyjesus: i'm currently using irssi as holstein mentioned, but irssi is on my desktop, and i'm on my netbook
[04:31] <holstein> thetinyjesus: i started with weechat actaully, because it autoconnected to freenode ;)
[04:31] <metasansana> gdecrypt vs truecrypt which one preforms better?
[04:31] <massive__> How do I set my desktop to gnome?
[04:31] <metasansana> especially on a ftp usb
[04:31] <fizyplankton> zykotick9: i do the same thing, but i frequantly ssh from my droid and screen -raAd to chekc my irc, no matter where i am
[04:31] <pfifo> metasansana, luks all the way for me
[04:31] <god-zotac> i'm working on compiling a custom kernel for my ubuntu install, i currently use fglrx, and i forsee a problem with the fglrx binaries and using my custom kernel can someone point me to some help on resolving this problem before it arrives ?
[04:32] <thetinyjesus> how long does it take the average user to learn irssi?
[04:32] <holstein> massive__: you can install gnome, but its not gnome2 anymore... XFCE is arguablyt the most like gnome2 was
[04:32] <metasansana> pfifo: can I use single files instead of the entire volume?
[04:32] <zykotick9> thetinyjesus: it's not simple, that's for sure.  The #debian factoid for irssi starts "it has been said that irssi is the best <IRC> client ever...."
[04:32] <pfifo> god-zotac, do you have an issue at this point?
[04:32] <holstein> thetinyjesus: depends... i still google for some commands if i need.. for settings or whatever i have forgotten
[04:33] <massive__> Ok.  I did install gnome.  But, nothing changed.  So, I was wondering how to go back and forth if I wanted to.  Thank you.
[04:33] <god-zotac> pfifo:: i don't yet, but i haven't rebooted the new kernel. i know that the custom kernel won't load the fglrx module that was built for a different kernel revision.
[04:33] <ses1984> i have a system that hangs 50% of the way through installing updates. it hangs on "running dpkg". the entire system becomes screwed. the desktop apps start behaving wildly weird. how can i back out of this cleanly?
[04:33] <pfifo> metasansana, encrypt everything
[04:33] <holstein> massive__: you can logout, and choose there, in the greeter
[04:33] <whoever> ksx4system: you should be able to edit the build file , they probably conflict or build them from source
[04:33] <massive__> Thanks holstein!  :)
[04:33] <thetinyjesus> well like, if someone was to send me a messsage how would i know, i mean i know i can screen change alt-arrow or number but is there a way to tell
[04:33] <pfifo> god-zotac, you need to build fglrx from source
[04:34] <pfifo> god-zotac, after rebooting
[04:34] <fizyplankton> thetinyjesus: the status bar near the bottom has a [act: pink_window_number] for a ping, a white number for activity, and a grey number for just logon/off activity
[04:34] <god-zotac> pfifo:: ok so is there a particular way to do that on ubuntu? just download the tar.gz for fglrx or is there a way to use apt to grab and build the source code for my custom kernel?
[04:34] <pfifo> god-zotac, get your kernel working first, thats step #1 and you can have grub switch between the 2 for now
[04:35] <zykotick9> thetinyjesus: do you mean notification, outside of irssi?  Inside irssi, it colour indicates channel if your nick is used.
[04:35] <hex20dec> Can anyone help me setup my BIND DNS server please?
[04:35] <whoever>  can someone assist with ligghttpd whosts the vhost kee/ giving me page cannot be displayed http://pastebin.com/ZPQj7BKs
[04:35] <pfifo> god-zotac, custom kernels and building from source are outside the realm of ubuntu
[04:35] <god-zotac> pfifo:: i know how to build a kernel and get it working, thats not the question i had. i want to know the recommended way to install fglrx from source for a custom kernel
[04:35] <fizyplankton> thetinyjesus: and if tou want outside of irssi notification, you can use screen and do ^a M
[04:36] <holstein> hex20dec: i iwould go ahead and get started, and ask more specific quiestions when you need...
[04:36] <pfifo> god-zotac, right, get your kernel ready and working, then build fglrx, the fglrx build will probbally bork your native fglrx, but hey, thats the idea right?
[04:36] <WoC> dns53, Seems like 10.10 is the last version, no server version though
[04:37] <god-zotac> regardless of the realm of ubuntu, i want to use ubuntu for compatibility of packages and a wide selection, and i don't want to compile everything from source, just my kernel and proprietary driver
[04:37] <god-zotac> it shouldn't break anything native, it should install the fglrx module to each kernel lib
[04:37] <hex20dec> holstein I would, but here are so many problems and I have read a lot of articles about how to set it up and it's really complicated. I was hoping someone would help me set it up for the basics by simplifying things a bit.
[04:38] <AndroUser> Hey im using mint debian. Just installed kde and it doesnt seem like its detecting my wireless card any more. Any ideas?
[04:38] <pfifo> god-zotac, ive never tried, but im guessing Xorg will complain
[04:38] <hex20dec> holstein there*
[04:38] <god-zotac> as with installing any other kind of module.. i'm not exactly new at anything here. im just wondering what the recommended way for installing proprietary drivers in ubuntu is if you use a custom kernel
[04:38] <god-zotac> using a custom kernel with ubuntu in combination with proprietary drivers shouldn't be that uncommon, or at least i wouldn't think it would be
[04:39] <pfifo> god-zotac, the 'recommended' way for ubuntu is to NOT do what your doing ;) use the gentoo way
[04:39] <holstein> hex20dec: other than pointing you to some documentation, im not going to be more helpful.. you could try the mailing lists/forums, or some of the server channels
[04:39] <urlin2u> AndroUser, mint debian on the ubuntu support channel now what's wrong with this statement. :)
[04:39] <green> I'm having trouble booting to my second computer it says/root/dev failed no such file or directory and /root/sys failed no such file or directory any help?
[04:39] <god-zotac> pfifo:: i don't really want to go 100% gentoo on a 1.6 ghz system
[04:39] <WoC> god-zotac, thats wht i am doing, i just put a hold on one installed generic kernel to prevent it from being updated, removed all others but one that i customized myself
[04:39] <hex20dec> Can you point me to a good server channel?
[04:39] <hex20dec> holstein
[04:39] <god-zotac> and i have worked in partnership with sabayon, so i know it isn't really backward compatible with portage ;)
[04:40] <holstein> hex20dec: theres #ubuntu-server ...also maybe a networking channel.. maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto
[04:40] <god-zotac> WoC do you use fglrx?
[04:40] <pfifo> god-zotac, you can build a custom kernel and fglrx no problem, in case you havent seen it before make ubottu list the info for '!kernel'
[04:40] <WoC> Nope, no ati hw at all
[04:40] <hex20dec> holstein: thanks a lot. =]
[04:41] <blackbox> does anybody know of any free CAD based software that will allow me to do the equivalent of what autocad, pro engieer, and now CATIA can do.
[04:41] <WoC> !kernel
[04:41] <god-zotac> pfifo:: blah..
[04:41] <god-zotac> - pfifo
[04:42] <god-zotac> that is wrong,  if you have a need for a custom kernel, then you will need to compile your own
[04:42] <holstein> blackbox: what can they do?... blender is popular, and quite well supported
[04:42] <WoC> in my case, i cant use the generic kernel after 3.2.0-10, the config changed
[04:42] <pfifo> god-zotac, there really is nothing more that can be recommended besides that.. i would check gentoo wiki or LFS book
[04:42] <god-zotac> i.e. specific iptables / netfilter settings
[04:42] <lorddelta> Any startup gurus in here? I want to know why gnome-panel is starting up when I run kde (from kdm, too)
[04:43] <god-zotac> gentoo / lfs doesn't tell about compatibiltiy issues with .deb packages or things being broken later
[04:43] <AndroUser> Blackbox i dont remember of the top of my head but there is a website with loads of alternate apps for linux. Google it... cant be too hard to find
[04:43] <lorddelta> I seem to remember editing some system file a long time ago, but that was before I knew what /etc/ was, or most of the configuration stuff...
[04:43] <blackbox> but blender or (the payed version maya) or not CAD based programs like auto cad ,... I am more interested in architecture not 3D animation/pixel art
[04:44] <pfifo> god-zotac, no, if you need some kind of netfilter setings in the kernel you file a bug report and let the devs release a new kernel covering it, yeah i know thats not really the fastest way, but debian isnt really made you be uber customizable.
[04:44] <lorddelta> I'd be even more appreciative if someone could let me know a method to figure this out on my own that doesn't involve me reading 10 different init manuals...
[04:44] <blackbox> things that engineers , architect , and blue print designer would use
[04:45] <blackbox> not 3D moive an animators
[04:45] <god-zotac> pfifo:: such encouragement of why  not to use ubuntu/debian :)
[04:45] <holstein> blackbox: other than pointing you here http://www.tech-edv.co.at/05_LUnIx/80_CAD~2f3d/10_CAD~20Links/index.php where you've probably been, youd just need to start trying some FOSS alternatives
[04:46] <holstein> i have not needed to do CAD, though i work with ubuntustudio and we are interested in supporting that workflow, assuming we had users to test
[04:46] <pfifo> god-zotac, Im sure you use it for the same reason as many of use, no hassle installs of a stable system
[04:46] <god-zotac> a custom kernel is all i am wanting, i dont care about optimized cflags for userland packages
[04:46] <blackbox> thanks I think that is what I needed
[04:46] <holstein> feel free to join https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users and/or https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel blackbox
[04:46] <god-zotac> pfifo:: fyi i am very well experienced with gentoo/funtoo ;)
[04:47] <holstein> blackbox: we have a channel too #ubuntustudio ... but again, you'll be helping us help folks like yourself, probably not finding help there necessarily
[04:48] <pfifo> god-zotac, really, other than what ubottu said about !kernel, there isnt too much else to say, no one really uses custom kernels unless they have to. anyway like i said, the way to go is to get the kernel running, then build fglrx. and hope you dont break anything along the way ;)
[04:48] <blackbox> sure I will take a look some time I appreciate the help holstein
[04:49] <pfifo> god-zotac, if you know dpkg/apt well you could fetch the kernel sources from the repos and start with the official patched source of the kernel of you choice
[04:49] <pfifo> (thats covered in that link)
[04:49] <god-zotac> pfifo:: is there an apt command that will pull the fglrx sources and build it based on the running kernel, and keep a record of the .deb file for installation?
[04:50] <celltech> I have windows XP... Need to make it bootable from a thumbdrive... How can I do this?
[04:50] <pfifo> god-zotac, im not sure what will happen if you 'apt-get source fglrx' but I assume it would do exactly that
[04:50] <god-zotac> pfifo:: it has been several years since i have used debian/ubuntu (ubuntu was in its infancy when i last used .deb based distros)
[04:50] <zykotick9> celltech: sounds like a question for ##windows to me
[04:51] <celltech> .... is there a windows chat? :D
[04:51] <WoC> celltech, is that #/dev/null ?
[04:52] <jenders> howdy ubuntu folks
[04:52] <Chotaz> Is it possible to install XAmpp with a guy control center, like on Windows or OSX?
[04:53] <zykotick9> !xampp | Chotaz
[04:55] <massive__> how can I move the program/application bar anywhere on my home screen?
[04:55] <bugbrains> how to burn .dmg files to usb using ubuntu
[04:55] <Chotaz> zykotick9: thanks, still is there a way to have a GUI controll center?
[04:55] <bugbrains> i have os x snow leopard.dmg RETAIL dmg file
[04:55] <bugbrains> i need to burn it to usb
[04:55] <jenders> would somebody care to explain the difference between linux-image-server and linux-image-3.0.0-15-server. I kind of assume linux-image-server is a virtual "tracking" stable whereas linux-image-3.0.0-15-server is "pinning" a specific kernel release. Is that accurate?
[04:56] <jenders> I have observed that on some systems, during upgrade the running kernel is removed during an upgrade
[04:56] <zykotick9> Chotaz: sorry, not that i'm personally aware of
[04:56] <sonalo5> hi
[04:57] <bugbrains> how to make bootable os x usb drive using ubuntu
[04:57] <urlin2u> jenders, you mean a standard upgrade, not a distro?
[04:58] <zykotick9> jenders: the linux-image-server will just point to the current version, the one with the actually version number
[04:58] <WoC> jenders, afaik you are correct as to the kernel
[04:59] <sonalo5> exit
[04:59] <jenders> urlin2u: someone on our team observed that the running kernel of the machine was removed during a an 'upgrade', I don't know the exact invocation but that seemed suspect
[05:00] <bugbrains> how to make bootable os x usb drive using ubuntu
[05:00] <jenders> I am now wondering if perhaps, linux-image-server "owned" the files in /boot and during upgrade, the files were removed and replaced with newer files also owned by the linux-image-server package
[05:00] <urlin2u> jenders, only on a distro upgrade that I know of.
[05:00] <jenders> so moving from one code name to another?
[05:00] <jenders> in /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:01] <urlin2u> jenders, you talking to me?
[05:01] <jenders> yes'm.
[05:01] <zykotick9> bugbrains: you'd probably get more input from an apple channel (if one exists)
[05:02] <urlin2u> jenders, the sources list would change yes but distro upgrade would be like 11.04 to 11.10 m
[05:03] <jenders> i guess, there's fear here that the running kernel could be removed from disk during an upgrade. I'm trying to understand the mechanism that might instate that
[05:03] <zykotick9> urlin2u: your "distro upgrade" is very close to dist-upgrade, which doesn't have anything to do with going from 11.04 to 11.10 (for example)
[05:03] <jenders> it doesn't seem like that would be a very good policy, but might make sense if one was tracking linux-image-server instead of a specific release
[05:04] <urlin2u> zykotick9, just using the same description distro upgrade I saw ikonia use today. :)
[05:04] <zykotick9> jenders: upgrading a kernel, even to a new version, will not remove the old one (that has to be done manually)
[05:05] <urlin2u> zykotick9, I know the difference but thanks. :)
[05:05] <thetinyj1sus> just switched from linux mint to ubuntu, hope i can get used to GUI
[05:06] <jenders> hrm, I should collect more data
[05:06] <jenders> this guy is trying to argue that we need to give up ubuntu for centos
[05:06] <jenders> heh
[05:07] <zykotick9> jenders: well, centos wouldn't be my choice, but for a server it makes A LOT more sence then using ubuntu
[05:07] <jenders> I hear that, the ubuntu policy is more aimed towards the end-user than the enterprise even if things like LTS exist
[05:08] <Carolyn> How do I figure out what's going on here? -> dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Permission denied
[05:09] <frybye> re- I have installed GUVCViewer webcam recorder appl. and it displays the stream from the camera and taks still shots fine but when hitting the video-record button - crashes immediatly.. any ideas?
[05:09] <Russian> Hello, I have a problem. I have rest my bios successfully but now every time I start ubuntu, it put's me first into TTY mode and then if I stay idle, it finally boots up the login screen, can anyone please help me with this?
[05:09] <Russian> rest = reset*
[05:10] <sonalo5> hi
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:11] <Carolyn> lot - I'm trying to create an adhoc network, but clients were not getting assigned ip's. It looks like firestarter is killing all dhcp requests.
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: permission denied sounds like no root rights, you running firestarter as root?
[05:12] <Carolyn> That's from the syslog lot.  It's dnsmasq complaining firestarter wouldn't let it open the port.
[05:13] <Braden`> Hello, I have version 10.04 and I am trying to upgrade to release 11.10, but when I do do-release-upgrade it tells me there are no upgrades
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: maybe this will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1428865
[05:14] <frybye> - so who is the "webcam specialist on duty" just now?  ;=)
[05:14] <zykotick9> Braden`: i'd just wait until 12.04 comes out if i where you then you can go direct.  You'd need to go 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10
[05:14] <Russian> Braden`: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-1004-1010-1104-to-ubuntu-1110-oneiric-ocelot-desktop-a-server/
[05:14] <zykotick9> Braden`: re your current issue, LTS will only upgrade to an LTS (there is some way to change that)
[05:15] <Carolyn> lotus - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firestarter/+bug/242869
[05:15] <Braden`> Russian:  Thank you!
[05:15] <frybye> put another way - anybody using GUVCViewer - especially with a microsoft lifecam hd 3000?
[05:15] <Russian> Braden`:  you are most welcome =]
[05:15] <Carolyn> Interesting that it's a 4 year old bug that has not been fixed.  Makes me worry about switching to linux.
[05:15] <hydrox24> Braden`: unless you have made many changes to the system itself (manual ones) then you can simply backup your home dir and restore it to a fresh install of 11.10, you'll need to do a bit of work reinstalling apps but their preferences will be retained
[05:16] <administrator> niha
[05:16] <xgt001> hi, i am currently using 3.0.0.13 testing kernels for oneiric because it has aspm fixes, have the fixes been implemented in 3.0.0.15 or should stick with the current kernel?
[05:16] <zykotick9> Carolyn: don't lump ubuntu into all of gnu/linux
[05:16] <hydrox24> Carolyn: Yes, but security holes are almost always patched within days, only less important ones can fly under the radar that long
[05:16] <hydrox24> Carolyn: also, it's ubuntu, not linux as a whole.
[05:16] <thetinyjesus> o ya
[05:16] <Russian> Does anyone know why I could be possible getting into TTY mode when I try to boot Ubuntu, and after I stay idle for a while, it continues to boot the login screen?
[05:17] <hydrox24> Russian: did you modify your grub (kernel) boot line at any time?
[05:17] <Carolyn> I'm not lumping anything.  I'm trying to follow directions from the ubuntu site, installed firestarter from the gui.  It should work out of the box, without having to fix 4 year old bugs.
[05:17] <Russian> No, but I ended up having to flash my bios and then reconfigure the settings, however I don't see how that would affect Ubuntu, because the settings are exactly the same.
[05:18] <Braden`> What does LTS mean?
[05:18] <Russian> Long Term Support
[05:18] <zykotick9> !lts | Braden`
[05:18] <WoC> Russian, all the settings ?
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: did you try same settings without firestarter?
[05:18] <WoC> Russian, was it acpi related maybe ?
[05:19] <Russian> WoC, bios is set to IDE by default
[05:19] <Carolyn> I'd have to uninstall firestarter to do that lotus, as it starts up along with the network interface and dnsmasq dies at that time.
[05:19] <dRounse> well as linux users we know that there will be configuring and stuff, if you want perfect right out of the box use Mint
[05:19] <Russian> Do I need to reinstall X server maybe?
[05:19] <Carolyn> And yes, it works without the firewall but I sort of want one.
[05:19] <WoC> Russian, ok, so just the boot order ?
[05:20] <Russian> WoC:  what do you mean? As in did I just change the boot order in the bios?
[05:21] <WoC> Russian, i was just curious as to why you needed to flash your bios
[05:21] <Russian> WoC:  ooh, well I forgot the password that I had set a while ago, so I had to reset >.<
[05:21] <dRounse> is using Xubuntu, the same as using Ubuntu and installing Xubuntu desktop and then removing the ubuntu programs?
[05:21] <zykotick9> dRounse: yes (assuming you installed the xubuntu-desktop package)
[05:21] <WoC> lol, ok :) na'starovya tovarish
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: you could try gufw to test if its really a firestarter problem
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> !info gufw
[05:22] <Russian> WoC: heh oke thanks, I wish you could help me ;p
[05:22] <Russian> WoC:  Did a clean install of nvidia driver, still no progress.
[05:22] <dRounse> zykotick9: ok because i want the speed of xubuntu and look of xfce without the lag of unity
[05:23] <WoC> ah.. the nvidia drivers, not the nouv... drivers right ?
[05:23] <Russian> WoC: Yeah, of course, I have blacklisted the nouveau one
[05:23] <WoC> Russian, in grub too ?
[05:23] <Russian> WoC:  Grub?
[05:24] <Russian> WoC: !grub
[05:24] <Russian> oops
[05:24] <Russian> !grub
[05:24] <WoC> as in the .... rd_blacklist kernel option... i think its rd_blacklist
[05:24] <Russian> WoC:  Can I find that in the same file?
[05:24] <mozammel_> hi, i like ubuntu fonts, from where i can get  it?
[05:24] <WoC> check lsmod and see if you have that nouv module loaded
[05:25] <jenders> does anyone have any advice on troubleshooting partman-auto recipes for preseeding?
[05:26] <Russian> WoC: Nouveau doesn't show up in the list.
[05:26] <WoC> oh, ok, you're lucky then, sort of
[05:26] <WoC> do you have some sort of mismatch with the driver version ?
[05:27] <jenders> here's what I'm staring at
[05:27] <jenders> http://pastebin.com/gEiiZD3y
[05:27] <Russian> WoC:  where do I check that, X server?
[05:27] <WoC> do a lspci
[05:27] <Russian> WoC:  thanks one moment
[05:27] <jenders> 100MB /boot and the rest for /
[05:28] <jenders> even a faster way to test the recipe would be great
[05:28] <dRounse> can you use webmin on a regular home/file server?
[05:28] <jenders> if anybody has any thoughts
[05:28] <zykotick9> !webmin | dRounse
[05:28] <Russian> WoC:  what am I looking for there?
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> webmin is dangerous too
[05:28] <dRounse> ohhh ok thanks
[05:28] <WoC> VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV*
[05:28] <Russian> WoC:  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1080 (rev a1)
[05:28] <WoC> Right :)
[05:29] <dRounse> so should i use a light DE like xfce or lxde and then use vnc?
[05:29] <dRounse> i need a gui
[05:29] <WoC> Russian, i would join #nvidia and ask which linux driver fits that card
[05:29] <Russian> WoC:  So what should it match?
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> dRounse: vnc is dangerous too, try ssh
[05:29] <jenders> dRounse: what mandates a gui?
[05:30] <damo22> Russian: lspci -nnvv |grep VGA
[05:30] <WoC> Russian, looks like a HD card and a good one but i never seen it
[05:30] <Russian> WoC: oh, I already followed a guide to get my card working, and all was fine, until I rest the bios today and I got that black TTY screen before it loads the login window
[05:30] <WoC> oh
[05:30] <jenders> i'm typing to you from a MacBook Air so I am not GUI averse but I'm just wondering what the requirements are for
[05:30] <jenders> maybe you can use X forwarding
[05:30] <dRounse> jenders: well i think thats a lot easier personally
[05:30] <Russian> WoC: EVGA GTX 580
[05:30] <WoC> not a SLI config is it ?
[05:30] <jenders> dRounse: it's a matter of taste, some things are easier and some things are more difficult
[05:31] <damo22> Russian: you need the xxxx:xxxx vendor:device string
[05:31] <Russian> damo22: I did that, now what >.<
[05:31] <dRounse> i always mess things up in commandline and it would be a lot easier to set up with a gui
[05:31] <WoC> Russian, looks like damo22 might be able to assist
[05:31] <jenders> dRounse: I'd look into X11 Forwarding until you're more comfortable typing :)
[05:31] <Russian> WoC:  Yeah, hope so, thanks a lot though
[05:32] <bustajustin> think im in the rigth room now
[05:32] <bustajustin> right*
[05:32] <dRounse> ok whats x11 forwarding?
[05:32] <WoC> np tovarish
[05:32] <dRounse> sorry im kind of a noob when it comes to servers
[05:32] <jenders> moment, let me find a decent tutorial
[05:32] <dRounse> and linux in general
[05:32] <Russian> damo22: so what must I do, I probably can get the string if I get what you are referring too
[05:32] <lotuspsychje> dRounse: teamviewer maybe
[05:32] <zykotick9> dRounse: if your connecting from a machine with an Xserver, then you can open GUI applications (not the entire desktop) through SSH
[05:33] <jenders> ^
[05:33] <jenders> that
[05:33] <damo22> Russian: lspci -nnvv |grep "VGA controller"
[05:33] <dr_willis> ssh is handy in so many wwys
[05:33] <dRounse> ok i dont need the desktop, the applications
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis: and much safer then vnc or webmin
[05:34] <Russian> damo22:  oke I did that
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: still around?
[05:34] <jenders> ah, he was too late i was just going to paste this to him
[05:34] <jenders> http://www.craigryder.com/linux-ubuntudebetc/x11-forwarding-and-ssh-for-remote-linux-ubuntu-desktop/
[05:34] <dr_willis> webmin and ubuntu tend to not work well .;)
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> indeed
[05:35] <zykotick9> dr_willis: s/and ubuntu// ;)
[05:35] <damo22> Russian: [xxxx:xxxx] should be on that line
[05:35] <Russian> damo22: oke, one sec
[05:36] <angie> wow
[05:36] <angie> this room is big
[05:36] <angie> is this working???
[05:36] <zykotick9> angie: we see you
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> lol
[05:36] <angie> my first day to be here
[05:36] <angie> ja
[05:37] <angie> but no ones seems to talk?
[05:38] <zykotick9> angie: do you have an ubuntu support question?  if so, just ask.  This isn't a channel for general chatting, it's support only.
[05:38] <angie> im figuring out how it works here
[05:38] <Russian> damo22: the service vendor string, is that the serial number or the part number?
[05:38] <angie> ahhhhh
[05:38] <angie> what is ubuntu?
[05:38] <zykotick9> !ubuntu
[05:39] <Carolyn> yeah lotus, still working on this problem.
[05:39] <damo22> Russian: all you have to do is run the command i told you and paste the output here   lspci -nnvv |grep "VGA compatible"
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: please repost your question, the real experts are in the house now
[05:39] <angie> wow thank you ubottu
[05:39] <Chotaz> !hosts
[05:39] <Chotaz> After changing the hosts file, how do I make the changes to take effect?
[05:40] <damo22> Chotaz: its instant
[05:41] <scientes_> where can i download the debian-installer images for arm?
[05:41] <Chotaz> damo22: would 127.0.0.1/site site.local work ?
[05:41] <Russian> damo22:  like this? --> lspci -nnvv |grep [xxxx:xxxx]        ?
[05:41] <damo22> Russian: no, exactly like this: lspci -nnvv |grep "VGA compatible"
[05:41] <zykotick9> Chotaz: i'd remove the "/site" and retry
[05:42] <Chotaz> zykotick9: that aprt already works but i have many sites on my www folder, how can I point to a specific one?
[05:43] <Russian> damo22: oke, I'll reboot brb thanks a lot
[05:43] <damo22> Russian: no
[05:43] <zykotick9> Chotaz: oh damb, i've done that before but don't remember how... sorry.  For vhosts type stuff right?
[05:43] <xSmurf> anyone with experience with cryptsetup hooks?
[05:43] <damo22> Russian: it wont do anything
[05:43] <Chotaz> zykotick9: exactly
[05:44] <xSmurf> shouldn't /lib/cryptsetup/askpass | echo # display the pass?
[05:44]  * damo22 facepalm
[05:44] <xSmurf> and/or is there a better tool to genre user passwords from the hooks?
[05:44] <Carolyn> When AdHoc networking automatically configures dnsmasq for you, is there anyway to turn on logging? No config in /etc.
[05:44] <Carolyn> Trying to debug issues with it.
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: maybe something to find in /var/log
[05:46] <Carolyn> If requests are turned on, they're supposed to be in daemon.log, but it doesn't exist.
[05:46] <Russian> damo22: I still get the TTY screen for 10.04 LTS, if I don't do anything for about 15-30 seconds, it switches to login screen
[05:47] <damo22> Russian: i didnt ask you to reboot
[05:47] <damo22> Russian: you still havent given me the numbers
[05:47] <Russian> damo22: Aah, my bad.
[05:48] <damo22> Russian: the command was not going to do anything except query your pci bus for devices
[05:48] <Carolyn> dnsmasq is showing to start up ok in the syslog, but clients on an adhoc network are not receiving ip addresses. Without requests being logged hard to debug.
[05:48] <Carolyn> I'm about ready to stab ubuntu in the eye.
[05:48] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: no router that blocks it?
[05:49] <Carolyn> lotus - The workaround for firestarter blocking dhcp appears to have worked.
[05:49] <Russian> damo22: oke, got it, I sent you in pm.
[05:49] <Carolyn> But still no ip addresses being assigned to adhoc clients.
[05:49] <damo22> Russian: i cant recieve pm
[05:50] <damo22> Russian: its only 1 line paste it here
[05:50] <Russian> damo22: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:1080] (rev a1)
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: you have dhcp server running?
[05:51] <damo22> Russian: so its a GeForce GTX 580
[05:52] <Russian> damo22: yeah, I said that a while ago >.<
[05:52] <Carolyn> lotus, adhoc networking uses dnsmasq as a dhcp server lite.
[05:52] <Russian> damo22: EVGA GTX 580
[05:52] <Carolyn> I'm trying to share an ethernet connection with a laptop over wifi.
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> !adhoc
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq
[05:53] <damo22> Russian: what is the error?
[05:54] <Russian> damo22: There is no error as far as I can tell. Everything worked fine for me, but after I reset my bios and reconfigured (because I had to reset my password), ubuntu started booting directly into TTY instead of login window.
[05:54] <Carolyn> That doesn't help, lotus.  Ubuntu automatically configures dnsmasq for you, when you create an adhoc network.
[05:54] <Carolyn> And it doesn't appear to use /etc/dnsmasq.conf at all, as it doesn't exist.
[05:55] <damo22> Russian: so are you in console now?
[05:55] <Russian> damo22: Now I have to sit and wait while ubuntu is at the TTY window requiring my username/password, if I just ignore that and wait a while it loads the login screen.
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: what about this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[05:55] <Russian> damo22: no, right now I am fully loaded
[05:55] <Russian> damo22:  with GUI and all
[05:56] <damo22> Russian: possibly it is using a different video driver now
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> !info dnsmasq
[05:56] <Carolyn> Nothing in there about getting dnsmaq to log requests when adhoc networks automatically configure dnsmaq.
[05:56] <Russian> damo22: hmm, how to verify? I can open and configure the nvidia server settings just fine so far
[05:56] <Carolyn> And that's what I need, desperatly.
[05:57] <damo22> Russian: im not sure
[05:58] <Russian> damo22: ooh check this out, when I booted into TTY, once I tried to loggin in with my username and password and after that I hit /startx and it booted me directly into ubuntu, but after like 20 seconds or so I got the loggin screen and I had already a session running, but I had to enter my password in order to continue, does that help at all?
[05:59] <hydrox24> damo22: should we get Russian to run a bootchart?
[05:59] <Russian> damo22: it seems like something delays the login screen
[05:59] <hydrox24> damo22: It would help tremendously... unless it doesn't go as high-level as X
[06:00]  * damo22 takes a back seat on this one
[06:00] <Russian> =D
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: nothing in var/log/dnsmasq?
[06:00]  * hydrox24 doesn
[06:01]  * hydrox24 doesn't want to get involved but will anyway :)
[06:01] <Carolyn> It doesn't exist lotus.  I keep telling you that.
[06:01] <hydrox24> Russian: do you use Grub (AKA do you it whenever you boot?
[06:02] <Russian> hydrox24: not as far as I know, Ubuntu is my only OS
[06:02] <Carolyn> It is not logging requests, there is no config file.  Ubuntu is doing it all under the covers and I am ready to go back to windows.  It sucks, but at least it fucking works.
[06:02] <Russian> hydrox24: so I boot into it automatically without any options
[06:02] <hydrox24> ok, hold on. That just means there is one extra step to showing the GRUB2 menu I think
[06:02] <Russian> hydrox24: oke
[06:02] <hydrox24> Russian: so you use 11.10? And was it a clean install or an upgrade?
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: just stick around a few, there's always a solution for anything
[06:03] <Russian> hydrox24: I use 10.04 LTS (because of the stability and security) clean install.
[06:03] <acerimmer> Russian: likewise here
[06:03] <Russian> hydrox24: well I've added addons like Gloobus and Nautilus Elements
[06:03] <damo22> theres a local root exploit for > 2.6.39
[06:04] <Russian> acerimmer: cool ;]
[06:04] <hydrox24> Russian that's fine, when we go through the reboot, you need to hold shift to show GRUB
[06:04] <Russian> hydrox24:  oke and after that?
[06:05] <hydrox24> damo22: do you mean 2.6.39 and below? cos I think that that's < 2.6.39
[06:05] <damo22> no above
[06:05] <hydrox24> you need to find the normal line for ubuntu (without any "safe-boot" appended etc) and hit the "e" key to edit the kernel boot line
[06:05] <hydrox24> damo22: :/ wow, and when is it gonna be fixed?
[06:06] <Russian> hydrox24: oke and after that?
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: not all wifi cards support adhoc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc#Supported_Cards
[06:06] <damo22> its fixed but i dont know which version of 3 its fixed in
[06:06] <hydrox24> Russian: wait, you aren't doing this as I speak are you?
[06:06] <hydrox24> Russian: because you need to install the bootchart program first...
[06:06] <Russian> hydrox24: no, but I memorized it.
[06:06] <hydrox24> ok
[06:07] <hydrox24> you'll need to add this "init=/sbin/bootchartd" to the end of the line that starts with "kernel"
[06:07] <hydrox24> first, run this command on the machine you'll be analyzing:
[06:08] <hydrox24> wait, scratch that
[06:08] <hydrox24> just go here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/use-bootchart-to-find-out-how-long-ubuntu-takes-to-start-on-your-computer/
[06:08] <Russian> I already installed bootchart and bootchartqui
[06:08] <hydrox24> ahhh
[06:09] <hydrox24> Russian: and did you do that before the last reboot?
[06:09] <Russian> =], thanks anyway
[06:09] <Russian> hydrox24: no, just now ^^
[06:09] <hydrox24> ok
[06:09] <hydrox24> now reboot :)
[06:09] <USER__> fujftttttttttttttttttttttt
[06:09] <hydrox24> you don't need to do any of the stuff I said before,
[06:09] <USER__> uftuufrfuuuuuuuuuuuuftuffffffffffffffffff

[06:09] <Shirakawasuna> What is the best way to install beta nvidia drivers? (e.g. which ppa to choose)
[06:09] <hydrox24> that was just for arch... (fail) :)
[06:10] <hydrox24> Shirakawasuna: not sure, but the nvidia website offers very up-tp-dat binaries?
[06:10] <hydrox24> Russian: ?
[06:10] <jefimenko> i just followed the java6transition instructions and now i have no java binary
[06:10] <jefimenko> i followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/Java6Transition
[06:10] <Shirakawasuna> hmm
[06:10] <Russian> hydrox24: I presume I still need to add the init line right?
[06:10] <hydrox24> Russian: no, sorry
[06:10] <Shirakawasuna> I think nvidia supplies a horribly ugly script
[06:11] <Shirakawasuna> a ppa is *much* nicer
[06:11] <Russian> hydrox24:  aah, so what do I do?
[06:11] <hydrox24> Russian: just reboot, no fancy stuff. I was reading instructions for Arch linux :/
[06:11] <Russian> heh oke
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: does your laptop have a broadcom wifi card?
[06:11] <Russian> Be right back and thanks in advance
[06:11] <Shirakawasuna> I just need nvidia 290.* until it his stable
[06:11] <Shirakawasuna> there's a bug in previous versions that prevents booting
[06:12] <hydrox24> Shirakawasuna: OK, let me look into that
[06:12] <jefimenko> how can i get my java binary back
[06:13] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: I have tried again and again to get a GT240 to work - are you saying I need a beta nvidia linux driver or?
[06:13] <Carolyn> That's why I'm trying to turn on request logging so I can debug it.  But I can't, because unbuntu configures dnsmasq for me.
[06:13] <pangolin> Carolyn: please mind the language
[06:13] <van> jefimenko: what happened to your java binary?
[06:14] <Shirakawasuna> frybye: Not necessarily. My issue only affects Geforce 9300 IGP cards
[06:15] <zykotick9> Shirakawasuna: i assume you tried nomodeset unsuccessfully?
[06:15] <Shirakawasuna> zykotick9: yep. It's definitely a driver problem
[06:15] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: well I will perhaps give it a go
[06:15] <Shirakawasuna> fixed in the 290.* series
[06:15] <Shirakawasuna> I just want a nice, clean way to install the beta nvidia driver
[06:16] <Russian> I am back.
[06:16] <hydrox24> Shirakawasuna: what is the name of your nvidia card?
[06:16] <Shirakawasuna> a way that allows me to easily go back to the standard package when it his 290.*+
[06:16] <Shirakawasuna> hydrox24: geforce 9300 IGP
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: did you manually config etc/dnsmasq.conf?
[06:16] <hydrox24> Russian: ok, now look in /var/log/bootchart.png
[06:16] <Russian> hydrox24:  yeah, found it, uploading onemoment
[06:17] <zykotick9> Shirakawasuna: it appears the xorg-edgers PPA has 295
[06:17] <Carolyn> Lotus - no.  I repeat, there  is no etc/dnsmasq.conf.  Ubuntu configures dnsmasq automatigically under the covers when you set up an adhoc.
[06:18] <hydrox24> Shirakawasuna: you x64 or x86
[06:18] <Shirakawasuna> zykotick9: I think xorg-edgers brings a lot of stuff I don't want...
[06:18] <zykotick9> Shirakawasuna: probably true
[06:18] <Shirakawasuna> hydrox24: x64. I appreciate the help, but are you going to nvidia.com and finding the driver? I found that already, I just don't like their scripts
[06:18] <zykotick9> Shirakawasuna: but installing direct from nvidia, will re
[06:18] <Shirakawasuna> http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/290.10/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run&lang=us&type=GeForce
[06:18] <zykotick9> quire
[06:18] <zykotick9> sorry
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> Carolyn: thats really weird..there's gotta be a conf somewhere right and logs
[06:19] <hydrox24> Shirakawasuna: ah, OK, so what's your issue then?
[06:19] <Carolyn> Yeah it's using a template somehwere, but I have no clue where.
[06:19] <Shirakawasuna> I'll try this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[06:19] <Shirakawasuna> bring sin less stuff
[06:19] <pnorman> I'm looking for a reference for growing a RAID10 array with mdadm, but not finding anything - anyone know of one?
[06:19] <Shirakawasuna> hydrox24: I strongly prefer a ppa/debs, but can't seem to find anything dedicated to just the nvidia stuff.
[06:20] <hydrox24> Shirakawasuna: yeh, I guess it
[06:20] <Shirakawasuna> e.g. when I used arch, I'd just install the nvidia-beta package (user-contributed) and it integrated nicely with the package manager. No mess.
[06:20] <hydrox24> Shirakawasuna: yeh, I guess it's because there isn't much demand for a nvidia beta ppa
[06:20] <jefimenko> van: i followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/Java6Transition to replace sun-java6 with openjdk-6
[06:20] <Shirakawasuna> so that when I decide to go back to vanilla it's clean
[06:20] <jefimenko> van: now i have no java binary
[06:20] <Shirakawasuna> woo, that ppa seems to have worked
[06:20] <Shirakawasuna> bah, it's using nouveau, n/m >_<
[06:21] <jefimenko> van: i ran "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin" after removing the sun-java6 packages
[06:21] <Russian> hydrox24: check pm
[06:21] <Shirakawasuna> I'll just install nvidia's stupid .run package
[06:22] <van> jefimenko: just fyi, you dont have to remove a java version to install another one...
[06:22] <van> jefimenko: all can install as many java binary, but only need to set on as default
[06:22] <jefimenko> van: ok, well i was following the instructions
[06:22] <Russian> hydrox24: did you get it?
[06:23] <jefimenko> http://paste.ubuntu.com/829731/
[06:23] <jefimenko> openjdk-6-jre-headless is installed though
[06:23] <hydrox24> Russian: yeh, do I have to (can't be bothered)
[06:23] <massive__> I tried to play around with Compiz.. mistake that was.. now my screen is all jacked..I am missing the bar. I can only log into gnome.  Wasn't there a choice for Ubuntu before?  Not now!
[06:23] <Russian> hydrox24: heh, well I took a look at it, but I don't really understand it, so if you please
[06:24] <van> jefimenko; ok, so now did the openjdk-6 installed failed or something?
[06:24] <jefimenko> van: no it seems to be installed
[06:24] <jefimenko> van: i tried reinstalling them too
[06:25] <hydrox24> Russian: just do this: /msg hydrox24 MESSAGEHERE

[06:26] <shahzad> i need some help
[06:26] <xangua> massive__: duck go reset unity compiz conf http://askubuntu.com/questions/70572/reset-unity-and-gnome-to-default-values
[06:26] <hydrox24> frybye: make sure it's got executable permissions first
[06:26] <van> jefimenko: ok sounds like it was successful... perhaps its not set as default
[06:26] <shahzad> i am using ubuntu 8.10
[06:26] <hydrox24> !someone | shahzad
[06:26] <shahzad> i need upgrade open office
[06:26] <acerimmer> !eol|shahzad
[06:27] <Shirakawasuna> frybye: gotta use the command line
[06:27] <xangua> shahzad: then please upgrade to a supported ubuntu version
[06:27] <Shirakawasuna> frybye: be careful with this stuff - it's powerful
[06:27] <Russian> hydrox24:  are you getting any of the /msg hydrox24  mesages?
[06:27] <acerimmer> shahzad: you should be able to upgrade directly to 10.04 LTS.  I highly recommend you do so.
[06:27] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: what would be the command??
[06:27] <shahzad> i am using pIII
[06:27] <acerimmer> shahzad: what is plll
[06:28] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: in the gui I have selected "run as programme?" right?
[06:28] <Chotaz> How do I add a virtualhost on lamp?
[06:28] <zykotick9> acerimmer: intel P3 i'd guess ;)
[06:28] <frybye> then I can double-click it or..?
[06:28] <acerimmer> zykotick9: LOL.  Right
[06:29] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: I am a veteran with damaged memory - can you remind me of the command to run this in terminal...?
[06:29] <acerimmer> zykotick9: can ubuntu upgrade to a different DE?  e.g. 8.04 to xubuntu 10.04??
[06:29] <hydrox24> Russian: your just giving me those off the record messages again... what IRC client are you using?
[06:30] <xangua> acerimmer: just install xfce desktop
[06:30] <van> jefimenko: can you try this command -> $ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm
[06:30] <Shirakawasuna> frybye: open a terminal, then go to the directory with the file (cd /path/to/file). To run it, type ./nvidia-whatever-etc-etc-.run. If this doesn't work, make it executable using chmod +x
[06:30] <zykotick9> acerimmer: i'd GUESS no, but you could just install it after
[06:30] <blackbox> stupid question I am having a problem apt-geting opengl "sudo apt-get install opengl"
[06:30] <acerimmer> xangua: not for me, trying to help shahzad
[06:30] <van> jefimenko: see if you can see open jdk there...
[06:30] <acerimmer> shahzad: you there???
[06:31] <zykotick9> blackbox: opengl isn't a packages, it's provided by your graphics drive & xorg
[06:31] <jefimenko> van: http://paste.ubuntu.com/829734/
[06:31] <hydrox24> blackbox: what's the specific problem?
[06:32] <jefimenko> van: http://paste.ubuntu.com/829736/
[06:32] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: gave error - must be run as root - ??
[06:32] <blackbox> I am wanting to program graphics and somebody told me to use opengl.... but I don't think I have it on this system so I want to install it. I am using c/c++ as my programming language
[06:33] <frybye> is there such a command as sudo ./nvidia******?
[06:33] <hydrox24> blackbox: no, why can't you just install it using apt-get, what error does it give?
[06:33] <jigspan> why my computer shut down incomplete?
[06:33] <blackbox> Reading package lists... Done
[06:33] <blackbox> Building dependency tree
[06:33] <blackbox> Reading state information... Done
[06:33] <blackbox> E: Unable to locate package opengl
[06:34] <blackbox> sudo apt-get install opengl
[06:34] <hydrox24> blackbox: that just means that there isn't a package available for opengl, you'll have to install it another eay
[06:34] <hydrox24> way
[06:34] <zykotick9> frybye: (i don't think manually installing nvidia is a good idea) BUT, are you running in Xorg still?  Cause the installer is going to want X stopped before it will proceed, and yes, you need to use sudo
[06:34] <blackbox> I don't know what repo to add if it is not in the standard ones
[06:34] <van> jefimenko: thats funny, "update-alternatives" should do the trick... let me get back to you
[06:35] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: back to problem one - it says there is no supported nvidia card in the pc - i know that cos if I put the gt240 in the screen is unusable...
[06:35] <Chotaz> How do I add a virtualhost on lamp?
[06:35] <om> [
[06:35] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: like a chicken and egg problem.. card with no driver not screen - driver with no card not installable???
[06:35] <jigspan> and why selection menu appear each time on booting?
[06:36] <frybye> zykotick9: what other way to install it???
[06:36] <van> jefimenko: meanwhile, what "$which java" output is?
[06:36] <jigspan> i have shutdown problem with ubuntu 11.10
[06:36] <zykotick9> frybye: you need to install from command line (VT) after shutting down xorg
[06:36] <van> jefimenko: if there is any... where does it points to?  "$ls -l $(which java)
[06:36] <frybye> I put the card in the pc and no matter what I do i just get a mess of a screen - without the card it works with the ati 3000 onboard
[06:37] <frybye> zykotick9: but there is still the problem that it wants the card in there...
[06:37] <Shirakawasuna> frybye: when you download the nvidia installer, you have to make sure you get the right one. You may have accidentally downloaded the wrong one.
[06:37] <zykotick9> frybye: do you have the propritary ATI driver installed?  cause cause conflict if you do.
[06:37] <jigspan> is there solution for my problem?
[06:37] <syddraf> Does anyone know how to use Compiz with Xubuntu?
[06:37] <blackbox> I don't see opengl in synaptic ... I do see other things though but I have alot of books and resource example in opengl in c /c++ so I was wondering where I can get it install it. Correct me if I am wrong but it should just be a library .so files and h files that go in /usr/lib/ or something then since I have the path already in the standard $PATH variable it should be enough to tell the compile and include the header for it
[06:37] <Shirakawasuna> frybye: e.g. I know that my card is the geforce 9 series 9300 (ion) card
[06:38] <frybye> zykotick9: yes I do have it installed...
[06:38] <xangua> syddraf: run: compiz --replace
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> any desktop recorders to avi or mpeg4?
[06:38] <syddraf> xangua: I do that and all of my window borders/titles vanish.
[06:38] <jefimenko> van: which java returns nothing
[06:38] <frybye> Shirakawasuna: I got the linux driver for the gt240 direct from nvidia - the installer seems to work except it complains the card is not in...
[06:38] <xangua> syddraf: then you did not install gtk decorator
[06:39] <frybye> zykotick9: I will de-install the prop. driver .. and try again...
[06:39] <zykotick9> xangua: more likely, 3d support isn't active
[06:39] <blackbox> problem is I don't know how to go about installing it would like to either get it thru synaptic or apt-get it. rather then have to manually download a tar extract it and install it or a dpkg -i thing
[06:40] <blackbox> is their an equivalent name for opengl maybe libopengl their is just to many choices in synaptic and I don't know what the correct one is
[06:41] <syddraf> xangua: Which package would that be under?
[06:42] <xangua> !info libdecotator0 | ssydd

[06:48] <jefimenko> i removed the sun-java6* packages and chose option 1 for installing openjdk
[06:48] <zykotick9> jefimenko: that's odd, 'cause i get "There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java" when i run it?  Good luck.
[06:50] <jefimenko> zykotick9: when i run it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/829749/
[06:50] <van> jefimenko: perhaps its because "default-jre" is missing..
[06:50] <van> jefimenko: try install that..
[06:50] <jefimenko> van: that is missing
[06:50] <van> jefimenko: good, try install it

[06:59] <jefimenko> van: should i go ahead with this?
[06:59] <van> jefimenko: yeah.. thats looks like easy fix for now
[06:59] <jefimenko> i just upgraded my other comp the same way and it didn't have any problems
[06:59] <jefimenko> :\
[07:00] <jefimenko> that worked
[07:00] <smokycat> jefimenko: strange accident...
[07:01] <van> jefimenko: yup, I have multiple java versions installed... never had that problem..
[07:01] <aBound> Indeed life is strange. :P
[07:01] <smokycat> away from keyboard. thank you
[07:01] <WoC> pnorman, you prolly get both better performance and reliability using raid5 than you have using raid10, mirroring is more likely to just mirror corrupted data should it occur... at least that is what i have seen
[07:02] <pnorman> WoC: Not on a database load
[07:02] <aBound> It is best to stick with the OpenJDK 6 that's previously installed by default. Or is it best to install OpenJDK 7?
[07:03] <ultimo> ciao a tt
[07:03] <jefimenko> thanks guys
[07:03] <WoC> pnorman, are you using a file system or just raw devices ?
[07:04] <massive__> thank you xanax
[07:04] <pnorman> WoC: ext4 on lvm on the mdadm array
[07:05] <ultimo> !list
[07:05] <ultimo> !bot
[07:10] <pnorman> WoC: Googling says that md RAID10 arrays can't be grown, but that might be outdated. I know RAID5 can be grown
[07:11] <WoC> pnorman, sounds like it may be true about 10, as you would need to grow both the master and the mirror simultaneously
[07:12] <WoC> unless ofc the raid can be paused for the duration
[07:12] <Chotaz> Is it possible to use a command in terminal to do the following? : check every subdir inside directory A and delete these subdirs inside directory B
[07:14] <WoC> Chotaz; "cd /path/A ; find . -type d -exec rm -rf /path/B/{} \;"
[07:14] <hydrox24> Chotaz: what is the dirB relative to A exactly? or no relationship?
[07:15] <Chotaz> I have 2 folders inside my external HDD one with 80 subdirs, another with 40 subdirs
[07:16] <Chotaz> a:80, b:40, all the folders in b are also in a, I want all folders that are in already in b and a at the same time to be deleted
[07:17] <WoC> Chotaz, oh
[07:17] <Chotaz> i want it so A only keeps the subdirs that are not in B
[07:17] <Chotaz> im not sure im making myself clear
[07:17] <smokycat> rm -rf `find /path/A -type d -name B`
[07:18] <smokycat> miss...
[07:19] <WoC> Chotaz; that might be more than one line...
[07:19] <smokycat> it is miss. dont type it...
[07:19] <Chotaz> WoC: i really have no idea, but my cousin decided to screw my music folder
[07:20] <Chotaz> he managed to devide my music collection in 2 dirs
[07:20] <Chotaz> and then shoved some duplicates into one of those dirs
[07:21] <zerothis> how do i make my already paired & connected bluetooth headset my default sound device?
[07:22] <acerimmer> !guest|chotaz
[07:22] <acerimmer> Chotaz: 10.04 allows GUEST session i.e. no access or permissions to do anything critical
[07:23] <WoC> Chotaz, both A and B are sub-dirs in the same directory ? and You do want to keep only one unique copy of each directory, correct ?
[07:25] <Chotaz> the A and B dirs are completely apart and far inside the hdd
[07:25] <WoC> k
[07:26] <Chotaz> my ideia is to delete every subdirectory from B that already exists in A
[07:26] <superdave_> Getting some weird crap on boot... http://pic.twitter.com/D0tGLyj7 This disallows boot to continue and never gets to gui. any ideas?
[07:27] <WoC> Chotaz, quick and dirty would be to just move all the dirs in B to A, overwriting any duplicates; leaving you with just one version lest ofc the dir structure is different
[07:28] <WoC> and ofc assuming you have the free space for it
[07:28] <pnorman> I suppose I could move all my drives to the hardware RAID card, but that would be a *lot* of work :/
[07:28] <Chotaz> WoC: I dont want to lose this structure and I'm not sure if I have the space even
[07:29] <a8ksh4> what're you working on, pnorman?
[07:30] <Chotaz> he just copied all the dirs from A to B, leaving me with a bunch of duplicates
[07:30] <Chotaz> I thought that'd be an easy, script-way out
[07:30] <van> Chotaz: maybe not exactly what you looking for... but you can try "meld" its a GUI based comparison tool
[07:30] <van> Chotaz: can check for dir too..
[07:30] <superdave_> Getting some weird crap on boot... http://pic.twitter.com/D0tGLyj7 This disallows boot to continue and never gets to gui. any ideas?
[07:31] <pnorman> Chotaz: you can do what you want with sed, xargs and other command line utilities - but I can't really help you write the command
[07:31] <a8ksh4> could just rsync between them w/ the delete option to clean up...
[07:31] <WoC> Chotaz; i think a script may be tricky if the dir structure is completely different
[07:32] <Chotaz>  /media/MyBook/Music/GenreA/Flac vs /media/MyBook/GenreB/Flac
[07:32] <WoC> Chotaz, there is always mc and some elbow grease ;)
[07:33] <superdave_> Getting some weird crap on boot... http://pic.twitter.com/D0tGLyj7 This disallows boot to continue and never gets to gui. any ideas?
[07:34] <van> superdave_: are you sure this is not a h/w issue?.. you can verify by booting live cd...
[07:34] <superdave_> van: yeah, I'm up right now on cd boot...
[07:36] <superdave_> van: actually using the computer to get here...
[07:36] <hydrox24> superdave_: looks like a graphics issue, you using Nvidia/ATI/intel what?
[07:37] <superdave_> hydrox24 Nvidia. preinstalled in a Dell demension 8300
[07:37] <superdave_> hydrox24: stock, that is...
[07:38] <hydrox24> superdave_: did you have the proprietary drivers installed?
[07:41] <superdave_> hydrox24: Don't know... When I did a clean install, I updated the software on 11.04 without upgrading to the new release, and it asked me about optional drivers for my Nvidia graphics card. I chose to install the recommended one and not the one labled "experimental 3D for Nvidia".
[07:42] <hydrox24> ok, last Q:
[07:42] <hydrox24> did the issue occur after hibernating?
[07:43] <superdave_> hydrox24: to my knowledge, it has not ever hibernated. just display sleep, and I was going in and out of that with no problem.
[07:44] <lotrpy_> how to quit ubuntu-unregge channel only?
[07:45] <hydrox24> lotrpy_: /part ubuntu-unrelated
[07:45] <sherif> hey, how can i uninstall programs
[07:45] <hydrox24> lotrpy_: /part "CHANNEL NAME"
[07:46] <hydrox24> sherif: sudo apt-get remove (for the CLI) or use the software centeres "installed" button to do it normally
[07:46] <lotrpy_> hydrox24, thanks, it worked
[07:46] <sherif> hydrox24 thx
[07:46] <lotrpy_> why I'm lotrpy_, not lotry, then
[07:47] <zykotick9> hydrox24: you consider U.S.C. the "normal" way do you...
[07:47] <sherif> hydrox24 sudo apt-get remove will give me list?
[07:48] <zykotick9> sherif: you need to specify what package like "sudo apt-get remove foo" would remove the foo package
[07:48] <hydrox24> zykotick9: no, but most people do :)
[07:48] <hydrox24> sherif: no, you need to know the name of the package (hitting the tab key will autocomplete)
[07:48] <sherif> hydrox24 thx alot
[07:48] <hydrox24> sherif: sudo apt-get remove firefox (for example)
[07:49] <Myrtti> lotrpy_: you can change your nick with /nick lotry
[07:49] <superdave_> hydrox24: any ideas yet?
[07:49] <mernilio> Hi all" Back from making bread.
[07:50] <hydrox24> superdave_: no, try uninstalling the nvidia proprietary drivers, but I gtg to dinner so bye!
[07:50] <lotrpy> Myrtti, thanks
[07:51] <smokycat> good bye friends
[07:51] <superdave_> Ok. from CD boot, how would I uninstall nvidia propriatary drivers on an installed system?
[07:51] <mernilio> Baking bread for me, is something spirutial. Im not a good food guy, but bakeing two loafs of bread, with some wine makes me feel like im sharing the whelth wiht mohammad!
[07:52] <mernilio> Mohammad always said: "share your bread with the unholy, before you cut theire heads off"
[07:52] <llutz_> !ot | mernilio
[07:52] <mernilio> ubottu: sorry mr. bot :-)
[07:53] <zykotick9> superdave_: you'd first need to chroot into your HD install (see !grub2 for info on that) then use apt-get to uninstall it.
[07:53] <sherif> apt-get shortcut for?
[07:53] <mernilio> ubottu:  i know ur a bot.. dnot horrass me tho!
[07:54] <superdave_> zykotick9: thanks!
[07:54] <sherif> hydrox24
[07:54] <mernilio> can i say a little off topic question here?  (its a might-be a girlfriend issue)
[07:54] <sherif> hydrox24 sudo apt-get is abbreviation of wut
[07:54] <llutz_> mernilio: no
[07:54] <pangolin> mernilio: no
[07:54] <Myrtti> mernilio: please don't
[07:55] <superdave_> zykotick9: about the grub2 topic... how do I get to that info?
[07:55] <mernilio> Thanks for your support.. :-P
[07:55] <prince_jammys> !apt | sherif
[07:55] <zykotick9> !grub2 > superdave_
[07:55] <superdave_> mernilio: for the love of all that is holy, no.
[07:55] <zykotick9> superdave_: the link provided there has the steps for chrooting into you HD install
[07:56] <superdave_> zykotick9: Hey, thanks :)
[07:56] <al_nz1> how do I permenantly stop the dhcpd service?
[07:57] <sherif> ubottu thx
[07:58] <mernilio> I guess i will be like you .. lonley without a girl .. but she is so nice! fantastic body and all.. there is a problem. I have seen her teeth. They seem very pointy, like a vambire. :-(
[08:02] <Anthony> I NEED HELP INSTALLING UBUNTU ON MY DELL INSPIRON 600M
[08:02] <kaen> rofl
[08:02] <Anthony> PLEASE
[08:03] <kaen> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dilbert_characters#Loud_Howard
[08:03] <prince_jammys> Anthony: no need for caps, and tell us some details.
[08:05] <Anthony> i installed and when i restart i get error disk out, and prompt is grub rescue
[08:07] <superdave_> trying to find drivers to apt-get remove, where should I start to find the correct driver for my graphics card?
[08:08] <Anthony> what should i do
[08:08] <zykotick9> superdave_: 1) what graphics card 2) how did you install them?
[08:09] <damo22> Anthony: type into grub rescue:  root (hd and then hit TAB
[08:09] <Anthony> roo hd
[08:09] <superdave_> zykotick9: stock nvidia on Dell Demension 8300 and through ubuntu update manager.
[08:09] <Anthony> root hd
[08:09] <damo22> root (hd
[08:10] <zykotick9> superdave_: "apt-cache policy nvidia-current" does it show installed?
[08:10] <Anthony> root (hd)
[08:10] <damo22> no
[08:10] <damo22> dont close the parenthesis
[08:10] <superdave_> nvidia-current:   Installed: (none)   Candidate: 270.41.06-0ubuntu1   Version table:      270.41.06-0ubuntu1 0         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted i386 Packages
[08:11] <damo22> what happens when you type root(hd and hit TAB
[08:11] <Anthony> is ther space between root and parenthises
[08:11] <damo22> yes
[08:11] <superdave_> zykotick9: nvidia-current:   Installed: (none)   Candidate: 270.41.06-0ubuntu1   Version table:      270.41.06-0ubuntu1 0         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted i386 Packages
[08:11] <Anthony> ok unknown cammand root
[08:11] <zykotick9> superdave_: so nvidia-current is not installed, do you see the Installed: (none).  I'm not sure what version you need though.  "lspci | grep -i vga" will give card model.
[08:12] <Anthony> i get unknown command 'root'
[08:13] <damo22> Anthony: type "ls"
[08:13] <Anthony> ok
[08:13] <damo22> Anthony: what is the output
[08:14] <superdave_> zykotick9: output: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)"
[08:14] <Anthony> i get  (hd0) (hd0.msdos) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1)
[08:15] <damo22> Anthony: it looks like your 2 hard drives both have windows partitions
[08:15] <Anthony> ok what do i do
[08:16] <damo22> Anthony: how are your disks partitioned?
[08:16] <damo22> Anthony: do you have multiple partitions? or are they as grub said
[08:16] <Anthony> however ther were when windows was intsalled
[08:16] <zykotick9> superdave_: from my very brief search, looks like you need the nvidia 173 driver.  I've never had much luck with the non-current nvidia stuff, so hopefully if you run into issues someone else can help.  I'd also suggest you do an internet search to see if you can confirm/deny that 173 is the correct version.
[08:17] <damo22> Anthony: so you recently installed ubuntu?
[08:18] <Anthony> yes
[08:18] <damo22> Anthony: where did you install it to
[08:18] <superdave_> zykotick9: Awesome! Thanks! How should I word that so apt-get install will fetch that for me?
[08:18] <Anthony> cuase  windows keeps givine me issues
[08:18] <zykotick9> superdave_: i'm unable to verify, but "sudo apt-get install nvidia-<TAB>" should list the options.
[08:19] <damo22> Anthony: ie which drive
[08:19] <Anthony> told to install over windows and delete all
[08:20] <Anthony> so im not sure
[08:20] <superdave_> zykotick9: Ok. Thanks for all the help!!
[08:20] <damo22> Anthony: root (hd0,1)
[08:21] <zykotick9> superdave_: glad to help, good luck!
[08:21] <Anthony> unknow comand
[08:22] <frybye> re - what do I need to do when both my cd/dvd drives are not being "seen" by the 11.00?
[08:23] <damo22> Anthony: possibly reinstall
[08:23] <damo22> unless someone else knows an idea
[08:24] <urlin2u> frybye, 2 releases 11.04 and 11.10, this with a disc in them?
[08:24] <damo22> frybye: boot up with one of the drives attached, dmesg | grep ATAPI
[08:24] <superdave_> zykotick9: "nvidia-173" did the trick. now to reboot to find out if it worked!
[08:25] <Anthony> i tried that several times
[08:25] <frybye> damo22 - instead of both you mean?
[08:25] <damo22> frybye: yes
[08:25] <Anthony> can anyone else shed som ligh on my problem
[08:25] <damo22> frybye: or just run the command anyway
[08:26] <frybye> ok - urlin2u it is 11.10
[08:26] <frybye> damo22: they are sata drives?
[08:26] <damo22> Anthony: if you really dont want to keep the data and just want to install ubuntu, there is a solution
[08:26] <urlin2u> frybye, cool. :)
[08:26] <Anthony> nothing on it
[08:27] <Anthony> but windows
[08:27] <damo22> Anthony: there are windows partitions confusing the installer
[08:27] <frybye> damo22: just that the command is mentioning atapi??
[08:27] <TheNewMe> Can I turn my Ubuntu machine into a "cloud" for my friends and I?
[08:27] <Anthony> ok what do i do
[08:27] <TheNewMe> That use windows.
[08:27] <damo22> Anthony: reboot with livecd and come back here for help
[08:27] <damo22> Anthony: just select Try ubuntu
[08:27] <Anthony> ok
[08:28] <llutz_> TheNewMe: have a look at www.owncloud.org
[08:28] <Anthony> then
[08:28] <frybye> damo22: the command produces 3 lines of results..
[08:28] <[6502]> hello... very n00b question :-) ... where am I supposed to create a pid file ? /var/run/ cannot be written by the user
[08:28] <damo22> Anthony: then it will boot into a live distro and you can perform some commands to wipe windows totally
[08:28] <Anthony> ok how
[08:29] <frybye> an ata2.00 a ata4.00 and a scsi 3:0:0:0: cd-rom atapi iHDS118 etc etc..
[08:29] <damo22> Anthony: i need you to be running the livecd to get the commands right
[08:29] <Anthony> ok hld on almost ther
[08:30] <frybye> dama - but if you suggest connecting only one - will try that - if it works - then the 2nd one in addition right?
[08:30] <frybye> sorry that was for damo22
[08:30] <damo22> frybye: can you paste the output via pastebin?

[08:34] <damo22> frybye: it appears that your drives are being detected
[08:34] <damo22> frybye: but i need more info to be sure
[08:35] <frybye> dmesg | grep gives a fault report?
[08:35] <damo22> frybye: no just dmesg

[09:04] <|johnny|> ?
[09:04] <|johnny|> It supposedly helps it to fix my pulse audio. But I don't know how to use it. It says it needs to be patched using git am but I get an error.
[09:04] <damo22> Anthony:  i need to know the output
[09:04] <jane-doe> Good evening folks.
[09:05] <Anthony> im try somthhing
[09:05] <damo22> Anthony: can you run a chat on that computer and connect to IRC
[09:05] <JermBob> hey llutz_
[09:05] <|johnny|> johnny@johnny-System-Product-Name:~/Downloads$ git am Eye.patch
[09:05] <|johnny|> fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
[09:05] <Anthony> im try to paste here hld on
[09:06] <sbarcteam> |johnny|: a patch is usually change to a text file (or several). Do you know which files you are to patch ?
[09:06] <JermBob> where is the config file located for thttpd
[09:07] <|johnny|> sbarcteam, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39664#c15
[09:07] <|johnny|> Apparently this patch works for the PS3 Eye as well
[09:07] <|johnny|> But I can't figure out how to use it
[09:08] <hypnocat> i have a bit of a problem:  it seems my machine doesn't have an /etc/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d is empty... how can i properly populate these?
[09:08] <zykotick9> sbarcteam: last time i saw that "open/closed/defer/.." was on Linux Mint Debian Edition - i waited for 4+ hours before giving up on LMDE forever.  The solution in that case was, use apt-get - the same might apply here.  Ubuntu dropped aptitude for a reason (though I certainly prefer it/use it over apt-get, but i don't run ubuntu)
[09:09] <zykotick9> hypnocat: it's /etc/apt/sources.list right?
[09:09] <hypnocat> ah
[09:09] <hypnocat> i do have an /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:10] <hypnocat> ok.. that non-problem is solved..
[09:10] <sbarcteam> |johnny|: you can use patch utility.  usage is described in its man page. basically it is: cd to the root folder of what you patch, then run: patch < file.patch
[09:10] <|johnny|> ahh ok I'll give it a shot
[09:10] <hypnocat> now to the next problem:   when i do a "wajig update", i get this error:   "dselect: no access method is selected/configured"
[09:10] <Anthony> how do i past ie
[09:11] <Anthony> damo22:how do i past ie
[09:11] <hypnocat> where is the access method that error refers to supposed to be configured?
[09:11] <JermBob> llutz_ i found the config file. how do i start the server now ?
[09:11] <damo22> Anthony: have you got internet access on the computer?
[09:11] <Anthony> i go on here noe i do paste here
[09:11] <damo22> Anthony: www.pastebin.com
[09:11] <zykotick9> !paste
[09:12] <zykotick9> damo22: pastebin.com has ads
[09:12] <|johnny|> Hmm it asks File to patch
[09:12] <damo22> oh sorry
[09:12] <|johnny|> Not sure what to write in even from reading over the bug file
[09:13] <hypnocat> nevermind.. looks like i just had to run "dselect" and interactively tell it to use apt and the existing sources.list
[09:13] <hypnocat> once i did that, "wajig update" runs without complaint
[09:13] <srini> hello
[09:15] <un1vers1on> Hello
[09:15] <Anthony> damo22:<script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=Tn3JNsva"></script>
[09:16] <damo22> Anthony: please unplug your usb key
[09:16] <un1vers1on> I am using rainmeter but I seem to have html related error in it, please help http://pastebin.com/hquNz1SZ the error is probably in line 55, I dont know html so I need some corrections
[09:17] <Anthony> ok
[09:17] <Anthony> unplgged
[09:17] <damo22> Anthony: it looks like you have a linux install on the first harddrive
[09:17] <Anthony> ok so what do i do
[09:18] <Anthony> i wanna delete and start fresh right
[09:18] <damo22> Anthony: its probably easier yes
[09:18] <Anthony> ok lets do it
[09:18] <un1vers1on> Can someone help?
[09:19] <damo22> Anthony: be very careful with this command it will wipe your hard disk
[09:19] <frybye> damo22: you there now? I checked the cd-drives are to be seen in the bios - just not in ubuntu..
[09:19] <Anthony> what do i do
[09:20] <damo22> Anthony: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
[09:20] <damo22> that will wipe your partition table
[09:20] <frybye> damo22: did that last paste turn up anything? <when you have time of course...>
[09:21] <zykotick9> frybye: if you type "eject" into a terminal, does one of your optical drives open?
[09:21] <Anthony> is ther space before count
[09:21] <damo22> Anthony yes
[09:21] <Canyon_> hi
[09:21] <Anthony> is that 1
[09:21] <Plizzo> Hi, I have an annoying issue on my server running Ubuntu Server 11.10, it freezes constantly, and I can't find the root of the problem. Could anyone help me? :(
[09:21] <Anthony> l
[09:21] <frybye> damo22: it says it cant find a cdrom...
[09:21] <damo22> Anthony: one
[09:22] <Canyon_> i want to record channels in sopcast, but unlike windows, there is no record button for sopcast
[09:22] <Canyon_> does anyone know how to record channels in ubuntu?
[09:22] <damo22> frybye: what says that?
[09:22] <TheNewMe> Does anyone know a good article on SSH security for Ubuntu?
[09:22] <Anthony> no such file or directory dev/sda
[09:23] <frybye> damo22:  I have switched around the sata cables a bit - can you give me the original command again (rember I have the memory disab..)
[09:23] <damo22> Anthony you forgot the /
[09:23] <frybye> damo22: when I enter   eject in a terminal it says   eject: <in german then> cant find cdrom or open
[09:23] <damo22> frybye: try eject /dev/sr0
[09:25] <frybye> damo22: the lower of the two drives ejected.. ie not the pionier bd one the cheap ordinary one..
[09:25] <Anthony> damo22: 1-0 records in
[09:26] <frybye> damo22: eject /dev/sr1 ejects the other drive - the pionieer bd drive - figures i gess..
[09:26] <frybye> damo22: so now the question is why they dont show up in the gui - right?
[09:26] <damo22> Anthony: it failed
[09:26] <Anthony> 1+0 records in 1=0 records out 512 bytes (512b) copied , 0.00677572 s, 75.6 kb/ s
[09:27] <damo22> oh ok
[09:27] <Anthony> now what
[09:27] <frybye> damo22: me too ;=)
[09:27] <damo22> Anthony: now try installing ubuntu again and it should say its an empty drive and ask if you want to use the whole thing
[09:28] <Anthony> ok ill let you results
[09:29] <frybye> damo22: ah ha - just thought - the problem is they are not mounting!!??
[09:29] <damo22> frybye: looks that way
[09:29] <frybye>  so I need to edit some file...?
[09:30] <damo22> frybye: what happens when you insert a dvd/cd?
[09:31] <frybye> damo22: green light on drive comes on for a bit but then out and nothing shows up on gui..
[09:32] <al_nz1> how the hell do I disbale the dhcp-server?
[09:32] <zykotick9> frybye: 1) check the /dev/cdrom & /dev/dvd links using "ls -l /dev/cdrom" & dvd -- they should show ".. /dev/cdrom -> sr0" or sr1  2) verify that /etc/fstab didn't use an sd# for cdrom(s)
[09:33] <frybye> zykotick9: crazy!!! the cd I had been using was apparently unreadable - I just put a ubuntu live cd in and it works fine .. sorry sorry...
[09:34] <frybye> damo22: thanks for all your help - the stupid cd was unreadable or defective or whatever..
[09:34] <damo22> yeah
[09:34] <damo22> no worries

[09:42] <singsong> addy404  it's a very old release! Try 10.04 or the latest releases. They should work out of the box.

[09:43] <addy404> in ubuntu
[09:43] <singsong> download from ubuntu.com

[09:44] <addy404> i am not familiar with it
[09:44] <addy404> i m new in linux
[09:44] <damo22> addy404: you need a usb stick to transfer some log files from the dead pc to an internet enabled pc
[09:45] <al_nz1> theadmin: oh ok - just hiding the conf file will do it huh?
[09:45] <damo22> addy404: otherwise i cant help you
[09:45] <addy404> ok
[09:45] <theadmin> al_nz1: Yeah, long as it doesn't end in .conf it's ignored
[09:45] <addy404> how and what file
[09:45] <addy404> please tell m e
[09:45] <Promille> When the floodbot ask you to reg yourself, in #ubuntu-unregged, does it mean to reg yourself with NickServ?
[09:46] <llutz_> al_nz1: its not the config, its the file controlling this upstart-job
[09:46] <addy404> hey demo22 tell me what procedure i follow to runing internet in my ubuntu
[09:46] <llutz_> !register | Promille yes
[09:46] <al_nz1> theadmin: ok - weird - I dont have a /etc/init.d/dhcpd.conf
[09:46] <damo22> addy404: boot up the pc, then run dmesg > ~/Desktop/dmesg.txt; lspci -nnvv > ~/Desktop/lspci.txt
[09:47] <theadmin> al_nz1: I'm not sure what the name is, figure that out :D
[09:47] <llutz_> al_nz1: /etc/init   not init.d (sysV)
[09:48] <al_nz1> not in there either
[09:48] <al_nz1> looks like its in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
[09:48] <theadmin> al_nz1: That's not an initscript
[09:50] <al_nz1> theadmin: so what am I searching for then?
[09:50] <theadmin> al_nz1: Anything related for it in /etc/init/
[09:51] <al_nz1> theadmin: hmmm, ok dhcp is not even running!
[09:51] <al_nz1> perhaps because I dont have a init script?
[09:52] <al_nz1> whats even more confusing is that I have a /etc/dhcp and a /etc/dhcp3 dir
[09:52] <xgt001> hello
[09:52] <llutz_> al_nz1: thats for the client too
[09:52] <singsong> anyone?

[09:56] <al_nz1> llutz_: ?
[09:57] <llutz_> al_nz1: sudo service dhcp status
[09:57] <frybye> soul - sure when the webcam is compat and setup right...
[09:58] <al_nz1> dhcp - unrecognised service
[09:58] <bahamas> anyone have experience debugging sound issues?
[09:58] <damo22> al_nz1: are you trying to disable your LAN from getting DHCP allocated to all pcs?
[09:59] <singsong> xgt001 isn't ppa just for packets. Can it update anything?
[09:59] <bahamas> my sound doesn't work on the desktop, only in the browser
[09:59] <al_nz1> damo22: well trying to get it running first - then may disable it while I check a few other things out
[09:59] <al_nz1> but want to get it running first
[09:59] <Anthony> damo22: you there
[09:59] <damo22> Anthony: yes
[09:59] <Anthony> same thing
[09:59] <singsong> So far everything worked, but today, myspace, refused to play a song, saying, my flash is not up to date.
[09:59] <damo22> Anthony: which version is your livecd
[10:00] <Anthony> 11 i think
[10:00] <llutz_> al_nz1: service --status-all &>1|grep dhcp
[10:00] <damo22> Anthony: try scanning the cd for errors
[10:00] <Anthony> hoe
[10:00] <Anthony> how
[10:01] <al_nz1> llutz_: permission denied
[10:01] <al_nz1> but trust me dhcp is not running
[10:01] <llutz_> al_nz1: this doesn't check for running services, it lists all services being available
[10:02] <damo22> Anthony: boot off the livecd and press ESC when it boots up i think (or hold left shift) then when it asks the menu, select "Check for errors"
[10:02] <Anthony> damo22: how do i do that
[10:02] <al_nz1> llutz_: its not there
[10:03] <Nepherius> Anyone know how I could make chrome stop crashing every 5 seconds on ubuntu 11.10 ?:)
[10:03] <llutz_> al_nz1: "ls -l /etc/init.d/dhcp-server"
[10:03] <llutz_> al_nz1: err "ls -l /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server"
[10:04] <al_nz1> no such file or directory
[10:04] <al_nz1> on either
[10:06] <llutz_> al_nz1: well, at least in 10.10 dhcp3-server contains that file. so check your package, try to reinstall

[10:39] <Evilkiss> I need steps that must be done...
[10:39] <damo22> addy404: well this is going to take ages, you need a build environment for 2.6.27 on there and backport a driver for your network card
[10:39] <Anthony> can anyone help me repair grub
[10:39] <addy404> second problem i m facing is i m not being abel to run movies on it and not install sound driver
[10:40] <damo22> addy404: i suggest you download a new release

[10:40] <mneptok> Anthony: was GRUB working on this disk previously?
[10:40] <Anthony> i downloaded it today
[10:40] <mneptok> Anthony: wait, a CD?
[10:40] <addy404> ok so by download new release all my problem is solved or not
[10:40] <Anthony> yes
[10:40] <damo22> addy404: pretty much yes
[10:41] <mneptok> Anthony: you cannot fix GRUB on a CD.
[10:41] <damo22> mneptok: he installed ubuntu from a cd, now his pc wont boot
[10:41] <addy404> ok and demo tell me how can u r so much knowledge
[10:41] <Anthony> what do i do then
[10:41] <mneptok> Anthony: if the CD is not booting, most likely the image is corrupt. re-download it, preferably with a toold that has built-in checksumming, like BitTorrent
[10:41] <Anthony> its installed im pc
[10:41] <Ravih> why ubuntu is so famous?
[10:42] <damo22> mneptok: he did a cd check it is good
[10:42] <adam_> Propaganda
[10:42] <adam_> lol
[10:42] <addy404> i want to take these knowledge tell me how can i get knowledge
[10:42] <mneptok> Anthony: how are your hard disks connected?
[10:42] <Anthony> grub messe up after install
[10:42] <Anthony> its a laptop
[10:43] <addy404> demo tell me name of site/book for getting knowledge aboutn linux
[10:43] <mneptok> Anthony: does it use UEFI?
[10:43] <Anthony> thst little connecte pl you put in drive
[10:44] <mneptok> Anthony: does the laptop use UEFI or a standard BIOS or both?
[10:44] <damo22> addy404: many years of experience
[10:44] <Anthony> i dont know
[10:44] <Anthony> what do u mean
[10:45] <addy404> i just wanna to become like u what i have to do
[10:45] <damo22> addy404: there is no procedure for becoming damo22
[10:45] <opt1mus> addy404: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/
[10:45] <addy404> no i just to get knowledge like u
[10:46] <addy404> thanks optlmux
[10:46] <opt1mus> No problem.
[10:46] <Anthony> so...
[10:47] <addy404> and demo tell is  movies is may run on my system or not
[10:47] <damo22> addy404: depends what the specs of the machine is
[10:47] <addy404> mean
[10:47] <addy404> i have 350 gb hard disk
[10:47] <mneptok> Anthony: the grub-pc package may or may not work on systems with UEFI. you don't know what you have. that makes resolving the issue very difficult.
[10:48] <addy404> i have 2gen i3=4 gb ram
[10:48] <Anthony> how do i find out
[10:48] <damo22> Anthony: what is the make and model of your pc
[10:48] <mneptok> Anthony: look for UEFI references in any BIOS screens?
[10:48] <Anthony> its dell inspiron 600m
[10:48] <addy404> and don't know how to run movies and where find driver for sound
[10:49] <Anthony> i just get dell logo ans it say bios revisonA16
[10:49] <mneptok> Anthony: and what error does GRUB give?
[10:50] <damo22> Anthony: it seems like a fairly old machine i doubt it would use UEFI
[10:50] <Anthony> error: outof diskgrub rescue
[10:50] <damo22> mneptok: he gets a grub-rescue shell
[10:51] <mneptok> Anthony: put the CD in, and when you get the menu, choose "Boot from first hard disk"
[10:52] <addy404> hey damo does linux ubuntu 11 is abel to play movies in it
[10:52] <opt1mus> Yes.
[10:52] <damo22> addy404: of course
[10:52] <Anthony> same thing
[10:52] <addy404> ok
[10:53] <kalimojo> whats a good beginners to intermediate ubuntu book ?
[10:53] <mneptok> Anthony: alright, so boot to a live session from the CD

[10:53]  * mneptok really should try to go back to bed
[10:53] <Anthony> the trial
[10:53] <addy404> demo:
[10:54] <_apostate_> running precise - keep getting "public key is not available" with launchpad ppas
[10:54] <damo22> addy404: you shouldnt need any extra drivers with 11
[10:54] <damo22> addy404: most all things work out of the box
[10:54] <addy404> damo: ok thanks
[10:55] <damo22> youre welcome
[10:55] <addy404> i contact u  lated when i install 11

[10:56] <kalimojo> how can i tell if my laptop has bluetooth capability ?
[10:57] <Anthony> ok whats next
[11:02] <DarkStar1> Hello. I am trying to setup seamless ssh access (to logins without passwords) do I need to create the .shh folder in the user home directory of the account I wish to log in to?
[11:03] <kalimojo> how can i tell if my laptop has bluetooth capability ?
[11:03] <samrat> how can I fix the power regression in Precise Pangolin?
[11:04] <fidel> kalimojo: i guess there are several ways. try: hwinfo | grep blue
[11:04] <LjL> samrat: i recommend you ask in #ubuntu+1, as this channel doesn't deal with unreleased versions
[11:05] <samrat> LjL: really sorry.. i meant Oneric (11.10)
[11:06] <Anthony> damo
[11:06] <bahamas> guys, how can I debug a game only displaying a black screen when trying to run it?
[11:06] <Anthony> damo22 you there
[11:06] <damo22> Anthony: yeah
[11:07] <Anthony> other guy left me
[11:07] <Anthony> he had me go the live on the cd
[11:07] <damo22> Anthony: ok
[11:08] <Anthony> then i dont what he wanted me to do
[11:08] <opt1mus> bahamas: What game?
[11:08] <damo22> Anthony: run a terminal
[11:10] <Anthony> ok
[11:10] <bahamas> opt1mus: unreal tournament 2004
[11:10] <damo22> Anthony: sudo fdisk -l
[11:10] <Jeico> What distribution is "better" for Java and C++ programming? Ubuntu or Fedora?
[11:11] <Anthony> one or l
[11:11] <damo22> Jeico: what icing is better on a cake?
[11:11] <damo22> Anthony: L
[11:12] <Anthony> ok
[11:12] <Anthony> got it
[11:12] <Jeico> damo22: if you can't help with my question, then do not bother to answer :S I just want to pick a distro and I want to be sure on my pick.
[11:12] <whitman> Is there any way to change the "Turn off after" to 15 minutes, rather than just the options in the drop down box. (10 and 30 are the closest)
[11:13] <whitman> In the screen settings.
[11:13] <damo22> Jeico: i asked a subjective question in response to your subjective question, this channel afaik is for ubuntu support
[11:13] <LjL> Jeico: your question in all fairness is not really on topic for this channel
[11:13] <Anthony> whats next
[11:14] <damo22> Anthony: does it mention /dev/sda as the main drive?
[11:14] <Anthony> sda1
[11:15] <damo22> Anthony: ideally i need to read the whole output to know the next command
[11:17] <bc81> whitman: in 10.10 you can set the amount in seconds.  alt+f2 and type gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/
[11:17] <bc81> not sure what configuration tool is available in newer releases
[11:17] <whitman> That key doesn't exist in 11.10 :(
[11:18] <bc81> you can open a terminal and do it
[11:18] <Anthony> damo22:<script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=HAFdyq5A"></script>
[11:18] <Anthony> damo22: <script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=HAFdyq5A"></script>
[11:19] <damo22> Anthony: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[11:19] <damo22> Anthony: space between grub-install and /dev/sda
[11:21] <Anthony> cant find device
[11:23] <tom453642356> Hello: is there a program that does a simple directory comparison, checking they have the same files and doing a recursive check of sub directories?
[11:24] <damo22> Anthony
[11:24] <Anthony> yes
[11:24] <bc81> tom453642356: you might want to try meld
[11:24] <damo22> Anthony: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[11:25] <Anthony> ok
[11:25] <bencc> I'm using a command that output to a file: "pdf2svg input.pdf output.svg" how can I output to stdout instead?
[11:25] <damo22> Anthony: sudo grub-install   --root-directory=/mnt    /dev/sda
[11:25] <tom453642356> bc81: i am trying meld right now. it seems to be reading every single file, checking every byte of every file. that is overkill
[11:25] <motz> hi, I need to transfer a big file (6.8 Gb) from a ubuntu laptop to a mac laptop
[11:26] <tom453642356> bc81: i just want something that does ls recursively and verifies they are the same
[11:27] <Anthony> install finised no error
[11:27] <damo22> Anthony: what is the output ?
[11:27] <tensorpudding> motz, well, the best way is to connect them through ethernet cables to your router
[11:27] <Anthony> istall finished no error reported
[11:27] <tensorpudding> motz, then share the folder on the ubuntu laptop, and browse the share on the mac laptop
[11:28] <damo22> Anthony: ok now do this:   sudo umount /mnt
[11:28] <tensorpudding> motz, you don't need to connect them with wires, you can do it over wireless, but wireless is so slow that 6.8 GB will take several hours
[11:28] <damo22> Anthony: then you can reboot and it should work
[11:28] <fidel> motz: or just push the file via scp from box a to b (ssh access must be enabled in the mac sys-prefs)
[11:28] <bc81> tom453642356: diff -r <dir1> <dir2>
[11:29] <Anthony> says command not found
[11:29] <tom453642356> thanks bc
[11:29] <bc81> np
[11:29] <damo22> Anthony: umount not uNmount
[11:30] <Anthony> same
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> paste the exact command you are using.
[11:30] <tensorpudding> motz, folder sharing can be accomplished by right-clicking the folder and going to Sharing Options, then enabling the folder; you do this for the folder that holds the file you want, and enable guest access
[11:30] <tensorpudding> motz, do you follow?
[11:31] <Anthony> ok got it now restart
[11:32] <damo22> Anthony: yes, reboot now, but pay more attention to the commands i type, or paste them directly if you have trouble
[11:33] <Anthony> ok let you now status
[11:35] <ian_> Hi - I've got a problem with Remote Desktop not working when one particular login is logged on - can anyone help?
[11:35] <Anthony> same thing
[11:35] <damo22> Anthony: you must have a wierd old buggy bios
[11:35] <d1b> hi i wish to install ubuntu on a mac pro
[11:35] <d1b> what's the best way to do this?
[11:36] <damo22> d1b: i have done it i am running it now
[11:36] <d1b> damo22: yes and what's the best way to do this
[11:36] <Anthony> o what do i do
[11:37] <damo22> d1b: go into osx and shrink your main HFS+ partition so there is room for ubuntu at the end of the drive
[11:37] <d1b> damo22: and then?
[11:37] <damo22> d1b: then you need to be careful
[11:38] <d1b> how do i boot ubuntu / install it from there?
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> Make Backups. always step #1 :)
[11:38] <d1b> i have backups :p
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> !mac
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> backup your backups...
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> :)
[11:38] <damo22> d1b: the main thing is to not allow ubuntu to wipe the EFI partition
[11:38] <d1b> Dr_Willis: i read that and ... it doesn't answer all of the questions :p
[11:38] <d1b> Dr_Willis: right
[11:38] <d1b> damo22: *
[11:39] <damo22> d1b: you have to boot off the livecd
[11:39] <d1b> the thing is my mac pro wouldn't be on this thing ... i think it is the latest :p
[11:39] <d1b> damo22: ok
[11:39] <Anthony> damo22
[11:39] <Anthony> ; what do i do
[11:40] <damo22> d1b: you insert the cd and hold "option/alt" button while it is booting
[11:40] <Guest35128> ciao
[11:40] <damo22> d1b: then you can boot off the cd with the arrow keys
[11:40] <d1b> damo22: how do i ensure that it doesn't kill the efi partition
[11:40] <bazhang> !it | Guest35128
[11:41] <damo22> d1b: select the grub bootloader to install into /dev/sdxY where Y is the partition of the ubuntu root
[11:41] <ian_> dlb: If you can't find out from Apple how to install Ubuntu using BootCamp as the boot manager, I would install Ubuntu on a separate drive - this way you won't inadvertantly cause the BootCamp boot manager to get overwritten by Ubuntu's Grub boot manager
[11:41] <d1b> damo22: so i will need to install refit?
[11:41] <mrtn86> Am I correct, that "software-center" uses APT database as well? I mean I could use apt-get for installing some programs and software-center to install other ones if I like?
[11:42] <damo22> d1b: not necessary
[11:42] <d1b> ok
[11:42] <bazhang> mrtn86, yes
[11:42] <d1b> so will it let me pick between ubuntu and osx?
[11:42] <d1b> (on boot)
[11:42] <ian_> dlb: This is what I did with my Windows 7 workstation - I didn't want to screw with the Windows boot manager
[11:42] <damo22> d1b: only if you hold option alt while it boots
[11:42] <mrtn86> bazhang, thanks!
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> mrtn86:  all the package manager tools are basically front ends to the apt system.
[11:43] <d1b> damo22: ah ok
[11:43] <damo22> d1b: then you can use the built in osx bootloader to select ubuntu
[11:43] <d1b> so grub doesn't let me do it
[11:43] <d1b> oh ok
[11:43] <d1b> so it will then just boot osx by default?
[11:43] <damo22> yes
[11:43] <d1b> ok cool
[11:43] <d1b> it isn't possible to usb boot (instead of cdrom) ?
[11:44] <damo22> probably is possible using the exact same method
[11:44] <d1b> last time i tried it, it didn't work tho :<
[11:45] <damo22> osx has a built in bootloader that lets you choose which partition to boot from, and if you install ubuntu onto one of them you can nest the bootloaders this way
[11:46] <d1b> yes last time i tried it ... it didn't work :<
[11:46] <d1b> ok cool
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> install grub to say sda3 You mean?
[11:46] <damo22> Dr_Willis: yes
[11:46] <osmosis> is there any way to get the file edit menus back onto the application window instead of at the top?
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> ive only done that with seperate hard drives. :) on Intel pc's  - i dont have a mac.. heh.
[11:46] <damo22> d1b: whatever you do, DONT install grub to /dev/sda
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> osmosis:  you can disable the 'global menus' if you dont like them.  the webupd8 blog site mentions how to do it globally, or for specific apps.
[11:47] <d1b> damo22: i'll make a backup of /dev/sda first ;)
[11:47] <osmosis> Dr_Willis, cooL! will checkout
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> I think has the info. or links
[11:48] <damo22> d1b: /dev/sda1 is the EFI partition and the first 512 bytes of /dev/sda  is the osx partition table + jump code
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> that url is worth bookmarking in any case. :)
[11:48] <d1b> damo22: cool
[11:49] <dondilly> Help, I had a box running 10.10 fall over yesterday. the files on hd0 all locked. reboot failed and end up in grub hd0 still vis from bios and is sys drive so obv accessable. but fails to boot from grub either generic or recovery

[11:49] <kaspi> hey guys
[11:50] <biborn> who have tried 12.04 LtS? is it better than 11.10?
[11:50] <oCean> biborn: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[11:50] <trijntje> mcl0vin: isn't there a button to 'unlock' the settings first?
[11:50] <ikonia> mcl0vin: check if the user is created
[11:50] <biborn> l
[11:50] <mcl0vin> biborn: and who said that 11.10 was any good
[11:51] <mcl0vin> ikonia: no this is a fresh install
[11:51] <ian_> I've got a VM of 12.04 - and it's buggy as hell right now
[11:51] <ikonia> mcl0vin: I'm not quite following your issue
[11:51] <biborn> mcl0vin: what do you mean? my native language is not english
[11:51] <mcl0vin> there is no unlock trijntje
[11:51] <oCean> ian_: this is not the correct channel, use #ubuntu+1 for that discussion
[11:51] <kaspi> I have updated my system to the latest kernel, everything good except my mouse makes the screen go black... any input from any of my mice, any suggestions?
[11:51] <Stanley00> !pangolin | ian_
[11:52] <Culiforge>  Hello, was working with some others yesterday to get a broken install running.. reinstalled grub... had to run, now neither install will boot.
[11:52] <ikonia> Culiforge: define "will not boot"
[11:52] <mcl0vin> ikonia: users & group
[11:52] <oCean> Culiforge: you asked the same question in #ubuntu-beginners, please don't crosspost
[11:52] <ikonia> mcl0vin: how are you launching the gui ?
[11:53] <mcl0vin> ikonia: it loads automatically when i boot
[11:53] <ikonia> mcl0vin: the user admin gui should not load automatically when you boot
[11:53] <Culiforge> ikonia, after bootsplash system stops with 'loading please wait'
[11:53] <mcl0vin> ikonia: oh ... i go to system > admin>user & groups
[11:54] <biborn> which is better? 12.04 alpha or 11.10?
[11:54] <mcl0vin> biborn: 10.4 or 10.10
[11:54] <ikonia> biborn: please stop asking about 12.04
[11:54] <ikonia> biborn: 12.04 is not released yet or stable
[11:54] <ikonia> biborn: 12.04 discussion is in the channel #ubuntu+1
[11:54] <bazhang> biborn, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 discussion
[11:54] <ikonia> mcl0vin: is the user you are using in the "admin" group
[11:54] <mcl0vin> yes
[11:55] <biborn> mcl0vin: of course 10.04
[11:55] <ikonia> mcl0vin: so what's the actual issue ?
[11:56] <dondilly> Help, I had a box running 10.10 fall over yesterday. the files on hd0 all locked. reboot failed and end up in grub hd0 still vis from bios and is sys drive so obv accessable. but fails to boot from grub either generic or recovery
[11:56] <Culiforge> oCean, sorry, there was no traffic on beginners this morning
[11:56] <ikonia> dondilly: define fails to boot and "locked"
[11:56] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i take my last answer back.and replace it with i don't know...i am using the user from the setup and trying to add another user to the system
[11:56] <tom453642356> dondilly: you could pull hard drive out and plug into another computer
[11:56] <ikonia> mcl0vin: ok, check if the user is in the admin group, that is the first port of call when using root-needed administration guis
[11:57] <mcl0vin> ikonia: ok, so my user is yes an admon , because he belongs to the admin group
[11:57] <ikonia> mcl0vin: ok, great, so what's the actual issue now ?
[11:57] <mcl0vin> *admin
[11:57] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i can't add another new user
[11:57] <kaspi> I have updated system to the latest kernel and any input from my mouse makes the screen go black. What to do?
[11:57] <mcl0vin> using the gui
[11:57] <ikonia> mcl0vin: you're going to need to give more detail than that
[11:58] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i click add and nothing happen ..
[11:58] <mike_83> hello all..as soon as somebody is free i could sure use some help
[11:58] <mcl0vin> ikonia: from sys >admin> user & groups
[11:58] <ikonia> mcl0vin: ok, have you checked to see if the user was actually added
[11:58] <ikonia> mcl0vin: just ask a question
[11:58] <ikonia> mcl0vin: sorry, that was for mike_83
[11:58] <kaspi> mike_83: tell us
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> mike_83:  state the question and see who answers
[11:59] <ikonia> mcl0vin: check if the user was actually created or not
[11:59] <mcl0vin> ikonia: yes the user is not add, i only have one user in the system
[11:59] <ikonia> mcl0vin: how are you checking that ?
[11:59] <dondilly> would it be poss to boot from livedcd and copy to another hd, not sure whats more likely, hd file, hardware or OS in a twist
[12:00] <mcl0vin> ikonia: because its not asking me for anything about the user...and to check it i can vi /etc/passwd
[12:00] <mike_83> i decided i didn't like ubuntu 11.10..so i install 10.04lts..and can't get my wifi card to work..which is a ralink rt5930..if tried installing it about 10 different ways according to various howtos online to no avail
[12:00] <ikonia> mcl0vin: ok, so it's not in the password file, can you show me the output of uname -a
[12:00] <ikonia> dondilly: don't need to boot from a livecd to add a hard disk
[12:02] <mike_83> no takers? :)
[12:03] <mcl0vin> ikonia:you got it
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> mike_83:  if you have tried 10 differnt things.. your system could be in a very confused state
[12:03] <ikonia> mcl0vin: got what ?
[12:03] <dgfger> i have problems with arrow keys in terminal windows
[12:03] <dgfger> they do not work
[12:03] <mike_83> me and the system both lol
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> mike_83:   Id just get used to 11.10 and unity/gnome-shell - its the way of the future.
[12:03] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i pm'd u the output of uname all
[12:03] <ikonia> mcl0vin: why pm me ? just put it in the channel so we can all follow
[12:03] <ikonia> I don't accept random pm's which is why I've not got it
[12:04] <dondilly> ikeonia - no but current OS failed and now only boots to grub so if hw ok could copy what I need to usb drive after booting from livecd, only 1 linux box and drive is ext2 so not easily read by windows
[12:04] <dgfger> also my login manager misbehaves
[12:04] <ikonia> dondilly: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say
[12:04] <dgfger> also fullscreen console steals my lettters
[12:04] <biborn> if i install 12.04 alpha now, can i just upgrade it when it is released later? i mean upgrade by just using sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:04] <dgfger> cousld someone troublesshoot it?
[12:04] <mcl0vin> ikonia 2.6.35-32-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 2 23:31:33 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> biborn:  of course. thats a major feature of the package system
[12:04] <LaFlakitaBnAsika> #ubuntu-es
[12:05] <ikonia> mcl0vin: cool, so it's all al in order
[12:05] <ikonia> mcl0vin: could you try launching another admin releated gui tool (anyone you want) and see if it responds ok
[12:05] <_apostate_> try as I might I cannot get smooth fonts in Openbox like in Gnome
[12:05] <ikonia> mcl0vin: that way we can narrow it down to either that tool, or the lack of sudo auth on the tool
[12:05] <mcl0vin> ikonia: name one
[12:06] <ikonia> synaptic, hardware drivers, anything
[12:06] <ikonia> mcl0vin: no idea of the top of my head, you've got the menu in front of you
[12:06] <mcl0vin> ikonia: all works fine
[12:06] <ikonia> mcl0vin: so it would appear to be down to that tool
[12:06] <ikonia> mcl0vin: can you try launching it from the command line with gksudo
[12:07] <ian_> biborn: Why don't you try 12.04 as a VM first before you commit to upgrading a real system?
[12:08] <dgfger> why my up/dowen arrows DOEN"NT WORK?
[12:08] <ikonia> dondilly: your caps lock key clearly works, please don't use it for no reason
[12:08] <dgfger> nowhere in X
[12:08] <ikonia> oops dgfger your caps lock key clearly works, please don't use it for no reason
[12:08] <dondilly> ikonia, ubuntu box crashed will now just go to grub on boot and fail to boot from grub. I either need to repair OS or recover data from disk
[12:08] <ikonia> dondilly: sorry about that
[12:08] <Racy> Q1. could i put a specific video driver into ubuntu's iso, that would get recognised/install on installation? (Q2. if so, where(what folder) in the iso would i put it?)
[12:09] <ikonia> dondilly: ok - so what do you see when you try to boot the system
[12:09] <ikonia> Racy: what are you trying to insert exactly
[12:09] <mksboa> !ru
[12:09] <mcl0vin> ikonia: gksudo users-admin and this is what i got "http://screencast.com/t/yQSiGwvDsN3"
[12:10] <ikonia> mcl0vin: very odd
[12:10] <ikonia> mcl0vin: in the terminal behind the gui, is there any additional info coming up
[12:10] <mcl0vin> ikonia: vs when i lunch it from the gui it loads the user i have there and populate the add delete manage group buttons
[12:11] <mcl0vin> ikonia: nope
[12:11] <ikonia> mcl0vin: ooh, something clearly very wrong there
[12:11] <ikonia> mcl0vin: never seen that behaviour before
[12:11] <mcl0vin> ikonia: if you are using the same disto can you duplicate the issue
[12:11]  * dgfger wonders if support personnel sleeping right now
[12:11] <Racy> ikonia: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)
[12:11] <ikonia> dgfger: I wonder if you can see that people are activly being helped
[12:12] <mcl0vin> ikonia: its been doing it since 10.4 for me
[12:12] <ikonia> mcl0vin: I'm not using the same distro, but I know many who are without that same issue
[12:12] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> dgfger:  its 7 am in the usa :) on superbowl sunday.. it may be quiet in here.
[12:12] <ikonia> mcl0vin: never had the issue on 10.4 and I use that daily
[12:12] <ikonia> Racy: ok, I'd advise you not to try that, because you'll need to build a kernel module and pre-configure Xorg
[12:12] <mcl0vin> ikonia: hmmmm...and this is a freshly downloaded and installed 10.10
[12:13] <bazhang> dgfger, whats the exact issue
[12:13] <dondilly> it refuses to boot normally and goes to grub, if I try boot from grub  the last few lines are reporting refuse to mount dev sys proc  and drops to  busybox
[12:15] <Racy> ikonia: ok thanks, it's installed in version 11.04 (says it's activated, but not currently in use) I can upgrade to 12.04 from this version, was just checking
[12:15] <ikonia> why would you want to do that ?
[12:15] <ikonia> Racy: it's not in use as your X11 config is not setup
[12:16] <ikonia> Racy: no need to upgrade, try to find a resolution to a problem before such extreme measures as upgrading
[12:16] <ikonia> mcl0vin: just thinking
[12:17] <mcl0vin> ikonia: what is the issue :)
[12:17] <ikonia> mcl0vin: no idea at this moment
[12:17] <mcl0vin> ikonia: remember i told you yesterday that this is a headless and i remote to it
[12:18] <Racy> ikonia: ok, thanks about x11 config. i'd upgrade when 12.04 is released at the earliest / when 11.04 runs out at the latest
[12:18] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i found it
[12:18] <ikonia> mcl0vin: explain
[12:18] <ikonia> Racy: sorry, what you've said make no sense
[12:18] <dondilly> ikonia it refuses to boot normally and goes to grub, if I try boot from grub  the last few lines are reporting refuse to mount dev sys proc  and drops to  busybox
[12:19] <mcl0vin> ikonia: this is a remote box somewhere in the attic and i use nx to get to it , and i ve always used it that way , i plugged directly to it and tried the users and groups and it works fine
[12:19] <mcl0vin> ikonia: when i use the remote session it doesn't
[12:20] <ikonia> mcl0vin: interesting, not sure why that would make a difference, I'll need to think more
[12:20] <Racy> Q2 my Unity menu has started working, but doesn't hide or auto-hide (may not have started to work until i installed unity2D as well)
[12:21] <dgfger> is 11.04 past support life?
[12:21] <ikonia> no
[12:21] <Racy> *Unity2D works fine when i boot that
[12:21] <bazhang> dgfger, no
[12:21] <bazhang> !11.04 > dgfger
[12:22] <aalm> ?
[12:22] <dgfger> somehow everything I type is going to console I have X running on
[12:23] <dgfger> i tried to use lightdm login manager, but it runs on console #1 and eventually crashes
[12:24] <dgfger> also this console has a console login process running under x, i don't understand how it possible
[12:24] <dgfger> under=underneath
[12:25] <Racy> off topic Q3.  i'm using http://webchat.freenode.net/ #Ubuntu is the 1st IRC channel i've found with people chatting.  Does anyone know a popular Australia / Melbourne channel?
[12:25] <ikonia> Racy: ask in #freenode

[12:32] <kralle> sorry is there a way to run dnsmasq and networkmanager together
[12:33] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> !info dnsmasq
[12:33] <skilz> How do I change the GDM login theme?
[12:34] <dgfger> does 11.03 uses GDM by default?
[12:35] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> 11.04 used gdm 3 i belive
[12:35] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> its not very themeable last i checked.
[12:35] <kralle> any way to use it togeter dnsmasq and networkmanager
[12:35] <dgfger> i tried to replace it with lightdm and having now CRAZY x issues
[12:36] <dgfger> any alternative to it?
[12:36] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> try just using the console and 'startx' :)  or xdm, kdm, or  some other dms in the repos.
[12:37] <trojan> compiz doesn't work that well anymore .. :(
[12:37] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> kralle: are you shareing your network connection or anythign else special?
[12:38] <kralle> yes  Dr-Willis-Of-Lov as hotspot
[12:38] <Braden`> Hello
[12:38] <Braden`> Does anyone know of a system administration web interface available as a debian package?
[12:38] <kralle> ineed to run dnsmasq together id did it yesterday but i forget how because i reinstalle ubuntu
[12:38] <Braden`> err ubuntu package
[12:38] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> kralle:  seems to be some sort of bug with it --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/63059/why-is-my-ethernet-connection-connecting-and-disconnecting-repeatedly

[12:40] <Mautz> Hey there! Got some trouble with booting from MARVELL raid after updating the BIOS; Ubuntu doesn't find the raid drive, which I used to boot from. Windows 7 does, so I think the raid itself is still ok. fdisk on live-system won't show the disk either. Could someone help me out please?
[12:40] <mosdef100200> Hi there does anyone know of a .swf live preview software in Linux?
[12:41] <crizzy> mosdef100200: gnash.. mplayer + xine can play flash files too
[12:41] <Braden`> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov:  Thanks
[12:41] <ikonia> Mautz: you'll find that common with all fakeraid devices
[12:42] <ikonia> Mautz: using fakeraid is something I'd try to avoid at all costs
[12:42] <mosdef100200> Hi thanks for the help what i used to have on windows was a preview thumbnail generator of a swf file and i am trying to find something like that in linux
[12:43] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> it would be a feature of the file manager i imagine.
[12:43] <kralle> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov:  any more ideas ?
[12:43] <Mautz> ikonia: but it worked until this update; any idea how to fix this?
[12:43] <ikonia> Mautz: I suspect the support/inbuilt driver will have changed between kernels and that device is no longer usable
[12:43] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> kralle:  no idea.  just saw that post on how theres bugs with dnsmasq network manager and shareing the connection.
[12:43] <ikonia> Mautz: again - fake raid is the devil
[12:44] <Mautz> ikonia: so i have to downgrade my bios again and hope, that I will show up agian?
[12:45] <ikonia> Mautz: I just wouldn't use it at all, and swap to software raid
[12:46] <Mautz> ikonia: can I use the software-raid from linux and windows? doesn't it slow down the system?
[12:46] <ikonia> Mautz: software raid is not cross-platform, so your windows disk won't see it
[12:46] <ikonia> Mautz: in terms of performance there is no difference between software raid and fake raid, they both use the machines cpu (that's why it's called fake raid)
[12:48] <Mautz> ikonia: so best would be to use a raid-controller?!
[12:48] <ikonia> Mautz: a hardware raid controller is good, software raid if you only need Linux support, fakeraid (for me) never
[12:49] <kralle> so no way to use dnsmasq and networkmanager for hotspot
[12:49] <kralle> ?
[12:50] <mcl0vin> how can i add a user to sudo please
[12:50] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> kralle:  seems to be a bug with it. the forums or askubuntu threads might have some work arounds.
[12:50] <ikonia> mcl0vin: just put them in the admin group
[12:50] <kralle> lol ..
[12:50] <kralle> how to search in 100000 posts
[12:51] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/857294
[12:51] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> i just searched for dnsmasq on askubuntu
[12:52] <Mautz> ikonia: got an idea, how much a raid-controller should be?
[12:52] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> http://askubuntu.com/questions/76981/cannot-make-wi-fi-hotspot        seems theres issues with dnsmasq and doing hotspot type styff
[12:52] <ikonia> Mautz: $400 is the average, look up LSI and 3ware

[12:54] <Daulity> hi all
[12:55] <Daulity> i have a problem with poping/cracking sound, and i've noticed it only happens when viewing flash video's ...
[12:55] <Mautz> ikonia: ok, thank you for your help! I'll try to recover my data using the old bios and then delete the fakeraid.
[12:55] <Daulity> i've tried installing flashplugin nonfree but didn't help. is it even flash?
[12:56] <ikonia> Mautz: not the help you where looking for I know, but it will serve you well in the long run
[12:56] <Daulity> it's verry annoying
[12:56] <mongy> Daulity, are you 64bit?
[12:57] <Mautz> ikonia: well, i the end i learned a bit, so it was worth it ;)
[12:59] <Daulity> yes 64bit
[13:00] <recon69_lap> hi
[13:01] <Navion> Can anyone tell me how to manually configure the display and graphics card on Lucid (10.04)
[13:01]  * Schrodinger`Cat 
[13:01] <recon69_lap> got a question, setup a comp for 2 young girls and was wondering if anyone can recommend a net nanny like program
[13:01] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> Navion:  for what chipset/gpu?
[13:02] <Guest10341> hi im new here
[13:02] <Guest10341> how can i safe servers?
[13:02] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> recon69_lap:  opendns has a feature to block stuff. and then theres teh  various browser plugins. and i think some sort of proxy/security tool in the repos.
[13:02] <Navion> I think it's a Siliconmotion SM712 but the probe keeps setting it up as a Matrox card
[13:02] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> Guest10341:  clarify what you mean. and you may want to change Nicks -->  /nick Pick_A_Nick
[13:03] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> Navion:   SM712 is an SiS brand card?
[13:03] <Guest10341> nvm i found out how
[13:03] <Guest10341> thanks
[13:03] <kapz> hi where can I download the normal copy of ubuntu via torrent?
[13:03] <ikonia> kapz: www.ubuntu.com has download links
[13:03] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> kapz:  the download sites have torrent links.
[13:04] <Navion> It's on an Intel motherboard.
[13:04] <bazhang> !torrents | kapz
[13:04] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> kapz:  the disrtowatch site also normally has torrent and iso links.
[13:04] <kapz> yes the site shows an Alternate installer cd but not the normal one
[13:04] <recon69_lap> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: thx for the advice, but not a computer i'm going to be near much and the parents will not be able to manage anything as technical as that.
[13:04] <Daulity> yes i have 64bit ubuntu, what does that have to do with the clipping/poping sounds?
[13:04] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> torrent.ubuntu.com has lists of all of them.
[13:05] <mcl0vin> is there a propper way to move my current ~/download , ~/documents to a different drive ?
[13:05] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> recon69_lap:  open dns has a web interface you can remote admin/setup for their pc. but  ive no idea how hard it would be to bypass.
[13:05] <kapz> Thanks a lot ubottu!!
[13:05] <ikonia> mcl0vin: just move it, it's that simple
[13:05] <Navion> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: It's on an Intel motherboard.
[13:05] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> mcl0vin:  use a soft link so they appear back in ~ if you want. :)
[13:05] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i don't need to mount it
[13:05] <ikonia> mcl0vin: you don't mount directories, you mount partitions on disks
[13:07] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> to a directory :)
[13:07] <Daulity> i've lost my sound icon from panel, how do i put it back/
[13:07] <Daulity> ?
[13:07] <mcl0vin> ikonia: am confused a bit....how can i list which dev does my current ~/Download belongs to
[13:08] <ikonia> mcl0vin: why does it matter which device it belongs to
[13:08] <ikonia> mcl0vin: it's in your home directory, just move the directory to where you wnat it
[13:08] <ntr0py> How can i disable font smoothing in firefox 10?
[13:09] <mongy> Daulity, did you install flashplugin-installer ?
[13:09] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i need to know please. i have two separate drive and i want to know were i have it
[13:09] <mcl0vin> how can i tell if /home belongs to /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1
[13:09] <Daulity> mongy yes
[13:09] <ikonia> mcl0vin: mount shows your mounted files sytems
[13:09] <Navion> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: The biggest problem is that because it mis-probed the graphics chip it can't figure out the display and it's stuck as such a low res that I can't get to the buttons on the desktop tools.
[13:09] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> mcl0vin:  the mount command shows mount
[13:09] <recon69_lap> hmm, found a page that has a good start , http://www.howtogeek.com/54036/how-to-create-a-family-friendly-ubuntu-setup/ , i'll pass the info on to the parents , thx
[13:09] <DevilSolution> is there a way to access or view the PATH variables or else whats the command to permanently set the scala compiler up?
[13:10] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> echo $PATH
[13:10] <DevilSolution> ty
[13:10] <itaylor57> DeviceZer0, echo $PATH
[13:10] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> No idea what scala is
[13:11] <DevilSolution> okay i did like PATH= on accident and i guess i cleared it?
[13:11] <mongy> Daulity, ok,  enable the partner repo by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and removing the # from the partner lines.  then sudo apt-get autoremove --purge flashplugin-installer then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[13:12] <mcl0vin> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: ikonia : thanks , i can see that /home is mounted to /sdb1 which is 80GB and that should be enought because / is on sda1 and its own 80GB
[13:12] <mongy> Daulity, for me, the flashplugin-installer method uses 32bit libs, and the partner version is proper 64bit version.
[13:12] <DevilSolution> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov,  its just a programming language, largely based on java i believe.
[13:13] <Navion> Can anyone help me with a display configuration problem? Ive been working on this for 20 hours straight and I'm getting a bit tired.
[13:13] <ikonia> mcl0vin: a root file system of 80GB when using a seperate home partition is crazy and a massive waste
[13:14] <tensorpudding> not crazy, future-proof!
[13:14] <Daulity> mongy ok :)
[13:15] <mcl0vin> ikonia: what do you suggest
[13:15] <McG-Lucky> can i please ask for help
[13:15] <tensorpudding> depends on your needs
[13:15] <McG-Lucky> i need to no how to get into my server
[13:16] <mcl0vin> McG-Lucky: just ask and someone will help you
[13:16] <snowrichard> thanks to whomever wrote wiki page about internet connection sharing..  I'm on my cellphone's 3G network through my wireless router now.  The cell phone is connected to a laptop that is sharing the connection over the cat5 to the router.
[13:16] <Daulity> mongy i've seem to have lost my sound? i've also tried and see at alsamixer in terminal sound volume is up... and right device is selected
[13:16] <mcl0vin> !ask
[13:16] <tensorpudding> 30 GB should be "good enough" for everyone, but most can get by with less
[13:16] <mcl0vin> McG-Lucky: !ask
[13:16] <Daulity> 10GB normally is enough for me ...
[13:16] <McG-Lucky> I need to get into my server
[13:17] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> i have filled up 10 gb / befor. :) i do at least 20gb on the desktops
[13:17] <Daulity> does your server have ssh?
[13:17] <tensorpudding> i'm using 23, with a /home included
[13:17] <tensorpudding> i've filled up more than 20 gb on /usr + /opt before though, in old times when i played games
[13:18] <mcl0vin> McG-Lucky: don't PM
[13:18] <McG-Lucky> i cant remember
[13:18] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> a server without ssh is like  a car without doors.. :)
[13:18] <McG-Lucky> why are all linux user so secretiff
[13:18] <tensorpudding> 10 gb would probably be as low as you would normally go
[13:18] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> or welded shut dors..
[13:18] <McG-Lucky> lol
[13:18] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> McG-Lucky:  theres no real need to msg people.
[13:19] <mcl0vin> snowrichard: your 3G phone is doing what
[13:19] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> expecially for such basic 'help'
[13:19] <bazhang> McG-Lucky, what is the exact issue, please ask here and be very clear
[13:19] <Daulity> ssh is easy install openssh-server and when you want to acces, you do ssh username@ip/hostname
[13:19] <Daulity> in terminal
[13:20] <snowrichard> i have a tethered usb connection to the phone, i'm sharing that connection with the rest of my lan
[13:20] <damo22> it is possible to use sshfs to mount a directory locally over ssh
[13:20] <alfredoalcaldo> irc://irc.darksin.net/FuLMiNe
[13:20] <McG-Lucky> I installed a server about an year ago and just left it set up every thing and things worked then i forgot all about it cause i did not work on it for a long time
[13:20] <mcl0vin> snowrichard: can i read that link please
[13:21] <snowrichard> which link? the ics wiki page?
[13:21] <mcl0vin> snowrichard: i wonder if i can do that with my 4G
[13:21] <snowrichard> hold on
[13:21] <mcl0vin> \yes
[13:21] <damo22> snowrichard: how do you do that?
[13:21] <Eximius> can't automount ntfs volume
[13:21] <Eximius> I think it requires root privileges
[13:21] <Eximius> the question is..... why?
[13:22] <snowrichard> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[13:22] <mcl0vin> but snowrichard don't depend on it because all wireless provider now using a tool that blocks theathering
[13:22] <Daulity> laptopserver@Server:~$ uptime
[13:22] <Daulity>  14:21:58 up 13:29,  2 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.04
[13:22] <Daulity> haha that's howlong my server been running ^^
[13:22] <Daulity> since yesterday ....
[13:22] <snowrichard> I'm paying for the tethering plan

[13:23] <McG-Lucky> cant get into it
[13:23] <snowrichard> att htc aria
[13:23] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> Eximius:  you can run the ntfs-config tool and set it where they mount at boot. with fulluser access if you wanted to.
[13:23] <bazhang> McG-Lucky, use your password
[13:23] <tensorpudding> McG-Lucky, turn it off, open up the chassis with a phillips screwdriver
[13:24] <Eximius> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: That's not the thing
[13:24] <McG-Lucky> no man lol
[13:24] <Eximius> HAL should automount it without root user privilege
[13:24] <McG-Lucky> ok lets be frank
[13:24] <bazhang> tensorpudding, thats not helpful, please dont
[13:24] <Eximius> or udev
[13:24] <Eximius> one or the other
[13:24] <bustajustin> ed "wake up" for the 1st time this morning and song played well no nothing
[13:24] <McG-Lucky> its a dreambox
[13:24] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> Eximius:  actually i think its a gnome service now in 11.10
[13:24] <bustajustin> now it gives me only silence
[13:24] <McG-Lucky> with linux on it
[13:25] <Eximius> ah crap
[13:25] <bazhang> McG-Lucky, what does this have to with Ubuntu?
[13:25] <oCean> McG-Lucky: wrong channel then
[13:25] <tensorpudding> that's..a set top box?
[13:25] <tensorpudding> running ubuntu?
[13:25] <McG-Lucky> that is running ubuntu
[13:25] <McG-Lucky> openpli
[13:25] <McG-Lucky> linux software
[13:26] <oCean> McG-Lucky: linux, but not ubuntu
[13:26] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> !info openpli
[13:26] <McG-Lucky> its all based on that yse
[13:27] <McG-Lucky> its open software
[13:27] <tensorpudding> openpli is not a distro though, you can run it on ubuntu
[13:27] <bustajustin> ???
[13:27] <bazhang> !ot | McG-Lucky
[13:27] <bustajustin> newbie here
[13:27] <tensorpudding> but your question is probably not one we can help you with, we don't know anything about your box or its software
[13:27] <bazhang> bustajustin, ubuntu support issue? please ask
[13:27] <tensorpudding> have you tried the documentation for openpli?
[13:28] <bustajustin> last night i installed xubuntu
[13:28] <bustajustin> and everything worked perfect
[13:28] <McG-Lucky> look how do you exploit to it then
[13:28] <mcl0vin> is openpli something link mythbuntu ?
[13:28] <McG-Lucky> i can see all the port that open
[13:28] <bazhang> McG-Lucky, stop asking here please
[13:28] <damo22> McG-Lucky: what kernel is it running?
[13:28] <tensorpudding> no
[13:28] <bustajustin> after using "wake up" alarm system
[13:28] <sKew> Hi!
[13:28] <bustajustin> was used and played the song i set but now
[13:28] <bustajustin> ...
[13:28] <bustajustin> nothing
[13:29] <bazhang> bustajustin, all on one line, its impossible to read otherwise
[13:29] <Guest18752> Will ubuntu 12.04 LTS work whit my boardcom 4353 wifi card & ATI radeon hd 5650? and is it more stabile than 11.10?
[13:29] <kralle> sorry but again is there now a way or not to use dnsmasq and networkmanager ? i got it running yesterday but i delete ubuntu to set it up again now i cant find the link anymirw
[13:29] <oCean> Guest18752: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[13:29] <bustajustin> last night after the install my sound was working fine but now i can't hear anything
[13:29] <kralle> or is someone login here and can tell me the link 2days ago
[13:29] <kralle> loging
[13:29] <Guest18752> oCean, thx
[13:30] <bazhang> !1984 | kralle these?
[13:31] <obounaim> gsoc 2012 is announced http://bit.ly/zCTyvL
[13:31] <bustajustin> After installing xubuntu sounds was good. woke up this morning and no i get no sound
[13:32] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> !sound
[13:32] <bustajustin> thanks
[13:35] <kralle> Dr-Willis-Of-Lov:  i explain quick , if i start hotspot i can not start dnsmasq because port is busy
[13:35] <kralle> so how i can bypass this
[13:35] <kralle> i got it to run yesterday :( i lost this f""" link
[13:35] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> kralle:  no idea - I dont use either thing.
[13:40] <coz_> ctrl+alt+delete used to bring up the shutdown dialog UI,, n ow it brings up the Log off ui,, anyone k now the new command or keybinding for shutdown dialog UI?
[13:45] <coz_> nevermind I found the command
[13:46] <Duality> i installed the adobe-flashplugin but that didn't resolve the popping/cracking sound issue ...
[13:47] <DevilSolution> okay i seem to be stuck, ive downloaded the scala compiler and IDE for eclipse but im not sure how to set the $PATH variable to allow me to use it, ive tried editing the .profile file and added the path of the /bin but it doesnt seem to work...any idea's?
[13:47] <Duality> this only happens when i watch the flash vid though when i open a new tab the clicking/popping in the sound disapears...
[13:47] <Duality> like only when the vid is covered the popping/clicking stops
[13:47] <tensorpudding> DevilSolution, what exactly is this?
[13:48] <oCean> DevilSolution: once you've edited .bashrc or .profile to add a directory to your PATH, you have to source that file again  source ~/.profile
[13:48] <GLaDOSv2> okay, long story short, I need to change the password of a user in a single command that can be done by pressing enter just one time (need to execute it by php), so kindof need to sudo passwd root, but the php user is not in the sudoers file so need to change to another user who is first
[13:48] <DevilSolution> tensorpudding, scala is a programming language based on java
[13:48] <oCean> DevilSolution: check with echo $PATH
[13:48] <DevilSolution> ahh okay
[13:48] <tensorpudding> a more permanent solution will be to install it to /usr/local
[13:48] <Navion> Trying to get my display to resize. Looks like Ubuntu's hardware probe misidentified the display chips
[13:49] <DevilSolution> tensorpudding, the compiler?
[13:49] <tensorpudding> to /usr/local/bin, yes
[13:49] <tensorpudding> scala is already available in packages by the way
[13:49] <DevilSolution> its just in my home folder at the moment, could i move i the whole file there or just the /bin?
[13:49] <ratcheer> I lost my Ethernet connection in Ubuntu. It was working last night, and it still works in Arch Linux. I cannot even ping the router by IP address. How to troubleshoot and fix?
[13:50] <tensorpudding> is scala a jar or something?
[13:50] <tensorpudding> it's complicated
[13:50] <oCean> !info scala
[13:50] <DevilSolution> tensorpudding, as in it would install it for me? i have the compiler untared and i can use it but its not working with eclipse becasue i guess ive not set it up
[13:50] <Navion> ratcheer: what do you get if you do an /sbin/ifconfig?
[13:50] <tensorpudding> maybe you're better off just changing your PATH
[13:51] <tensorpudding> i do a thing where i create a ~/bin and put that in my PATH variable
[13:51] <tensorpudding> but to have it take effect everywhere you need to log out
[13:51] <ratcheer> Navion: Thanks for your response. I will have to reboot to Ubuntu to see. Is there anything else I should check while I'm there?
[13:52] <DevilSolution> its based on java i think, right okay so create a new folder and add the compiler to it?
[13:52] <tensorpudding> for instance, if you start eclipse from unity's launcher, it will use the environment info that was present when you logged in, from before when you changed the config file
[13:52] <kralle> someone here can help me about dnsmasq and networkmanager please
[13:52] <ikonia> kralle: in what respect ?
[13:52] <tensorpudding> DevilSolution, well, i don't know eclipse, it sounds like you just need to put scalac or whatever in $PATH so that eclipse can find it?
[13:53] <DevilSolution> ive restarted afetr every time ive changed the .profile
[13:53] <kralle> ikonia:  if i run dnsmasq i can notnstart any hotspot anymore
[13:53] <DevilSolution> tensorpudding, yes
[13:53] <Navion> ratcheer: There is a network tool under Adminstrator or System. It should give you the status of the ethernet NIC's. If it thinks things are OK. Try pinging 127.0.0.1. That's the special local host IP address.
[13:53] <tensorpudding> it depends on your shell
[13:53] <ikonia> kralle: what is that got to do with network manager?
[13:53] <ikonia> kralle: you need to give details if you want help
[13:53] <tensorpudding> you also want to be exporting it
[13:53] <kralle> i whant to redirect a dns query
[13:54] <ratcheer> Navion: Ok, thanks. I'll be back, later.
[13:54] <tensorpudding> export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
[13:54] <kralle> if i run the hotspot dnsmasq not start cause port 53 is in use
[13:54] <ikonia> kralle: again - what has that got to do with network manager, you need to explain your setup / problem if you want help
[13:54] <DevilSolution> is the syntax im using even right? PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/MyName/scala-2.8.1.final/bin"
[13:54] <tensorpudding> oh, don't do that!
[13:54] <ikonia> kralle: 53  is a dns server - but again what has this got to do with network manager ?
[13:54] <kralle> ikonia:  i have ubuntu , i whant to run dnsmasq And a wifi hotspot
[13:54] <DevilSolution> becuase after source ~/.profile its still not showing in the echo $PATH
[13:54] <tensorpudding> you're not adding it to PATH, you're resetting PATH
[13:54] <tensorpudding> then all of your other stuff would cease to appear in PATH
[13:55] <kralle> ikonia: bif dnsmasq running , my hotspot connect and disconne t same moment
[13:55] <ikonia> kralle: ok - I'm going to stop talking to you now as you've refused to explain your setup, you complain that you can't use it with network manager but also refuse to explain how you are using network manager
[13:55] <ikonia> kralle: best of luck
[13:55] <tensorpudding> DevilSolution, by the way, $HOME would be /home/user
[13:55] <tensorpudding> so that's redundant
[13:55] <DevilSolution> i added it in the .profile file not in bash
[13:55] <kralle> ikonia: i explained 10x retarded asshole
[13:55] <ikonia> kralle: tone down the language and name calling
[13:55] <tensorpudding> the quotes are unnecessary too
[13:55] <DevilSolution> ahh okay so its a syntactical error? let me try again brb
[13:56] <kralle> RETARDED ASSHOLE
[13:56] <kralle> :)
[13:56] <FloodBot1> kralle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:56] <jrib> brilliant
[13:56] <mydogsnameisrudy> seen that coming
[13:58] <daswort> i got a problem: after upgrading linux 3.0.0-12 to *-15 and libwebkitgtk. its impossible to use unity or gnome-shell in 3D because there are no desktop element. and mutter has also problems (no window borders)
[13:59] <daswort> any ideas? A mesa-bug?
[14:06] <DevilSolution> tensorpudding, okay still no luck :/
[14:07] <DevilSolution> is there a GUI i can use?
[14:07] <tensorpudding> DevilSolution, what is your PATH right now?
[14:07] <tensorpudding> echo $PATH on the terminal will tell you
[14:07] <DevilSolution> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[14:07] <tensorpudding> what about echo $SHELL
[14:07] <dell> exit
[14:08] <toumbo> Guys how to run a script as root?
[14:08] <DevilSolution> /bin/bash
[14:08] <tensorpudding> DevilSolution, okay, at the last line of your ~/.bashrc file, add
[14:08] <ikonia> toumbo: just use sudo
[14:08] <tensorpudding> export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
[14:09] <toumbo> ikonia sudo and then?
[14:09] <ikonia> toumbo: then the script
[14:09] <tensorpudding> and then run bash, and do echo $PATH again
[14:09] <DevilSolution> okie dokie 2 min
[14:10] <tensorpudding> conversely we could all just give up, and you could go copy all of the files in that scala-whatever/bin directory into /usr/local/bin
[14:10] <d4n137> Question:  Now that Tomboy has been removed from Ubuntu 12.04, what does the future hold for UbuntuOne/Tomboy integration?
[14:10] <tensorpudding> you'd have to use gksudo nautilus to bring up a "superuser" file manager so you have the permissions though
[14:14] <DevilSolution> hmmm
[14:14] <DevilSolution> weird
[14:15] <DevilSolution> somethings changed but im trying to figure out what, it hasnt added scala-version.final/bin but its added something
[14:15] <tensorpudding> it probably added /home/user/bin, for user being whatever your username is
[14:15] <DevilSolution> okay its added home/myname/bin
[14:16] <DevilSolution> yeh
[14:16] <tensorpudding> yes
[14:16] <tensorpudding> so
[14:16] <DevilSolution> add the contents of scala/bin to bin?
[14:16] <tensorpudding> yes
[14:16] <tensorpudding> then run eclipse from inside the terminal
[14:16] <DevilSolution> okie dokie
[14:16] <tensorpudding> and it should work
[14:16] <tensorpudding> it'll work when you launch it from the dock if you log out again
[14:17] <DevilSolution> i see, if it works ill do a restart
[14:17] <d4n137> Second attempt...
[14:17] <d4n137> Question:  Now that Tomboy has been removed from Ubuntu 12.04, what does the future hold for UbuntuOne/Tomboy integration?
[14:20] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> I hope they come out with a better tomboy :) hopefully one with an android port also.
[14:20] <DevilSolution> right its looking good so far, the scala editor is running fine, just goan d/l some source from uni and see if its compiles alright....cheers tensorpudding , your help is much appreciated
[14:20] <Oer> d4n137, Tomboy is just dropped from the install-cd
[14:21] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> Tomboy is handy. but It and UbuntuOne could be 'leveraged/marketed' a lot better.
[14:22] <Dr-Willis-Of-Lov> then you got the 'hate of mono' issue..
[14:24] <Navion> Anyone tell me how to put Ubuntu in vesa displayy  mode permenantly?
[14:24] <ikonia> Navion: hardcode it into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[14:24] <acicula> mcl0vin: service networking restart
[14:24] <sun_devil> Is ubuntu compatible with VMware or virtualbox?
[14:24] <ikonia> mcl0vin: service networking restart, or stop and start network manager
[14:24] <ikonia> sun_devil: yes
[14:24] <acicula> sun_devil: it should run and runinside both of them
[14:25] <mcl0vin> acicula: that gave me unknow instanse
[14:25] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i did sudo service networking restart and i got UNKNOWN instanse

[14:33] <ikonia> mcl0vin: ok - that's gnome network manager, I asked if you where using it and you said "no"
[14:33] <kraz3d> What application is compatible with the iPhone4 ++ sync'ing with ubuntu?
[14:33] <cool> damo22, can dd backup & restore grub too?
[14:33] <mcl0vin> ikonia: ikonia but i was not
[14:33] <Navion> _Alex_: Lost me there. I've been up for 23 hours working on this.
[14:34] <cool> ikonia, thanks :)
[14:34] <damo22> cool: yep
[14:34] <mernilio> For im a java expert
[14:34] <ikonia> mcl0vin: but you are
[14:34] <ikonia> cool: dd is a block by block copy of the whole disk
[14:34] <sun_devil> channel for virtual boxes?
[14:34] <xangua> kraz3d: banshee is default for oneiric
[14:34] <mcl0vin> ikonia: i was doing everyting from terminal , and i didn't use it
[14:34] <betimi> im ubuntu user and i just wanted to release 2 packages here for ubuntu accounts
[14:34] <ikonia> sun_devil: what virtual host software are you using
[14:34] <betimi> with special price
[14:34] <betimi> sorry
[14:34] <cool> damo22, how? dd if=source of=destination thing?
[14:34] <ikonia> mcl0vin: then you need to disable it
[14:34] <kraz3d> xangua: thanks, I'll check it out
[14:34] <mcl0vin> ikonia: can you show me how please
[14:34] <sun_devil> ? newbie
[14:34] <mernilio> i could put you of like the java garbage collector cleans of unused memory!
[14:34] <phil_c64> could someone tell me what is the best way to get an all in one printer working? I went to printing and added a printer however it's not printing from programs like scribus
[14:34] <cool> ikonia, Yeah, I am aware of that :)
[14:35] <damo22> cool: yes exactly, but it copies a whole block device
[14:35] <sun_devil> VMware
[14:35] <ikonia> mcl0vin: I suggest you start reading https://help.ubuntu.com - it will help you learn the basics of how to us e ubuntu
[14:35] <ikonia> mernilio: why are you telling us this ?
[14:35] <ikonia> sun_devil: ok, #vmware is the vmware support channel
[14:35] <kraz3d> ..
[14:35] <r3b00tx> figured it thanks anyway
[14:35] <sun_devil> cool thanks
[14:35] <kraz3d> **test
[14:35] <damo22> cool: its not much use if you just want to back up a few files
[14:36] <mcl0vin> ikonia: but why when i did /etc/init.d/networking restart it worked but i was n ot able to ping or connect to internet until i clicked on auto eth1 from gnome NM
[14:36] <cool> mcl0vin, you should read https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/index.html
[14:36] <__Alex_> Navion: in /etc/default/grub, there is a line 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"', add there "nomodeset", so it would be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset", save it, and then do a 'update-grub2'
[14:36] <ikonia> mcl0vin: because you've not configured gnome network manager
[14:36] <mernilio> ikonia: why..? I wish i could tell you.
[14:36] <ikonia> mernilio: ok - then please stop. Keep in mind the topic of this channel is ubuntu support discussion
[14:36] <mcl0vin> cool: am not in 11.10
[14:36] <ikonia> mcl0vin: then change the url to whatever version you are using
[14:37] <ikonia> mcl0vin: start putting a little common sense behind your working
[14:37] <cool> damo22, I want to backup my root drive, so I think dd should be useful for me.  but will it erase the destination as well?
[14:37] <mernilio> Its a matter of death and sorrow.
[14:37] <__Alex_> Navion: Now, you should be in VESA once you reboot.
[14:37] <ikonia> mernilio: please stop.
[14:37] <cool> mcl0vin, what distro & version are you using?
[14:37] <acicula>  cool it will yeah
[14:37] <mcl0vin> cool: got it and thank you for the link
[14:37] <damo22> cool: it will simply write block for block from the source to the destination until either it finishes, or it doesnt fit and it will stop
[14:37] <mernilio> imbezol: you are right! From now on im your un-charged help with linux guy! :-)
[14:38] <mcl0vin> cool: ikonia corrected me for this matter :)
[14:38] <mcl0vin> reading time then
[14:38] <mamece2> how can i change a folders and the files in it permissions?
[14:38] <ikonia> mcl0vin: it's sounds like it's slowing you down, but it will make it all move faster in the long run
[14:38] <ikonia> mcl0vin: a little background will really help, I promise
[14:39] <damo22> cool: ideally you should send the output to a file not another block device, otherwise you wont know where the end of the drive is
[14:39] <mernilio> For the record: You who dont are here for any reason. Please go away!
[14:40] <cool> damo22, good idea but how do I send it to a file? any syntax help? or should I go RTFM way! :P
[14:40] <ikonia> cool: please tone it back with things like RTFM
[14:40] <cool> ikonia, what, did I offend you?
[14:40] <mcl0vin> ikonia: no i really do respect that and i beleive in it too. and i really meant it when i said THANK YOU
[14:40] <damo22> cool: dd if=/dev/DRIVE of=/path/to/file
[14:40] <Navion> _Alex_: OK here goes... Thanks
[14:41] <oCean> !acronym | cool
[14:41] <damo22> cool: bear in mind the whole drive must fit in the target mountpoint
[14:41] <cool> damo22, Sure, thanks no Problem
[14:41] <damo22> cool: you can even gzip the output on the fly

[14:42] <betimi> y i hear you
[14:42] <oCean> support* even
[14:42] <astralbloke9> oh ok just wondering
[14:43] <ophelias_> @astra hear ya
[14:43] <betimi> are you interested for web hosting or reseller hosting  15$ unlimited reseller webhosting special for here ubuntu users
[14:43] <astralbloke9> cool
[14:43] <astralbloke9> most of these channels seem to not have any activity
[14:43] <Navion> _Alex_: Well, that was a flop...
[14:44] <__Alex_> Navion: Did it work?
[14:44] <astralbloke9> can linux calculate what you should do with your life?
[14:44] <ikonia> astralbloke9: got a real question
[14:44] <oCean> astralbloke9: don't post such nonsense here
[14:44] <tensorpudding> man, the trolls are out in force today
[14:44] <bazhang> astralbloke9, got an actual support question?
[14:44] <tensorpudding> that's the fourth ban i've seen in the last few hours
[14:44] <astralbloke9> oh sorry
[14:44] <ikonia> !topic > astralbloke9
[14:44] <oCean> tensorpudding: please don't comment on that
[14:45] <astralbloke9> just wondering how run irc in command line
[14:45] <bazhang> astralbloke9, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[14:45] <cool> oCean, ikonia : In Earlier days when I was active, things like RTFM was highly encouraged as they reduced support time. It seems things have changed now :)
[14:45] <__Alex_> astralbloke9: No, but it can make your computer usefull for free
[14:45] <astralbloke9> k thx
[14:45] <oCean> cool: trying to keep the channels familyfriendly and professional, thank you
[14:45] <ikonia> cool: just think about what RTFM means - then consider what you are saying to a channel of strangers of mixed ages and cultures
[14:46] <cool> oCean, you can be sure about that :)
[14:46] <tensorpudding> providing no information is one way to have fast turnover, but the customer satisfaction is nonexistent
[14:47] <damo22> are you guys paid to be here? it sounds like a job
[14:47] <tensorpudding> no
[14:47] <cool> ikonia, To be its just a hippy way of saying --> "Please read the documentation". Not sure, how would anyone find that offending
[14:47] <ikonia> no, it's people offering their time and help for free
[14:47] <tensorpudding> we're that bored :P
[14:48] <Navion> _Alex_: No, same problem.
[14:48] <ikonia> cool: I've just sent you a private message explaining it
[14:48] <Ashii> my .xmodmap config http://pastebin.com/57Lh1WVF  now trying to map META:  http://pastebin.com/9PPddyhY ... what am i doing wrong when trying to map the meta?
[14:48] <T_H_X> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2d45tOgBl0
[14:48] <meberhart> it's offensive because it implies that you're not capable of reading the instructions before you come here to ask, i would think.
[14:48] <damo22> if youre that bored, try helping me get root of my friends server without physical access
[14:48] <cool> ikonia, I already knew the full form :P
[14:49] <tjigi-fo> cool, to me it says don't come bother us with support questions go find your solutions in a manual somewhere
[14:49] <oCean> T_H_X: wrong channel
[14:49] <T_H_X> :P
[14:49] <Navion> _Alex_: I just built a little xorg.conf file and told it the device was "vesa" and it seems to be happy now.
[14:50] <oCean> T_H_X: not laughing, don't post nonsense links please
[14:50] <T_H_X> yes boss
[14:50] <__Alex_> Navion: Nice to hear.
[14:52] <Navion> _Alex_: Have you played with ZFS at all?
[14:56] <Chotaz> I have 2 folders that have the same structure on my HDD (/music/GenreA/Flac and /music/GenreB/Flac) is it possible to check the subdir inside the GenreB/Flac folder and delete them in GenreA/Flac ?
[14:58] <damo22> Chotaz: write a bash script
[14:59] <Chotaz> damo22: i have no idea, what's why i got here for help :)
[14:59] <cool> Chotaz, Sounds like you are trying to find duplicates?
[15:00] <Chotaz> cool: pretty much
[15:00] <damo22> Chotaz: if you have too many to do manually, it might be easier to write a script to do it
[15:00] <damo22> Chotaz: how many files are there to check roughly?
[15:01] <Chotaz> damo22: not really files, directories instead, we might be talking of about 100+ duplicate directories i wanna get out of the genreA/Flac folder
[15:01] <Navion> Has anyone used ZFS on Ubuntu 10.04?
[15:01] <cool> Chotaz, well, then try fdupes. Simple! http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/08/find-duplicate-copies-of-files/
[15:02] <Chotaz> cool: will take a peak, thanks :)
[15:03] <Chotaz> cool: i see no parameter for checking directories isntead of files?
[15:03] <cool> damo22, the dd command you gave worked well. my backup has started  & generating file in gigabytes :D
[15:03] <zenon> hello, how do I maintain linux?
[15:04] <damo22> cool: you might want to pipe the output to gzip
[15:05] <damo22> cool: it might be possible to run a separate process that compresses the file on the fly, even though youve already started to dump
[15:06] <cool> Chotaz, Hmm...I don't know. Its been long time since I used this. Try checking out the manual :)
[15:06] <zenon> how do I open term with ubuntu?
[15:06] <cool> damo22, Interesting! I I never done that
[15:06] <xangua> zenon: control+alt
[15:06] <xangua> control+alt+t *
[15:06] <__Alex_> zenon: Alt+f2, and they type "gnome-terminal"
[15:07] <cool> !terminal > zenon,
[15:07] <zenon> whats the difference?
[15:07] <Chotaz> none
[15:07] <cool> !terminal < zenon,
[15:07] <zenon> cool
[15:07] <zenon> cleverbot lol
[15:07] <cool> zenon, just playing with the bot :)
[15:08] <zenon> tell me all your secrets kid?
[15:08] <zenon> joke!
[15:08] <zenon> I would like to make my own ai or tech my own ai
[15:08] <zenon> stop people from messing it up
[15:09] <oCean> zenon: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[15:09] <__Alex_> !offtopic
[15:09] <zenon> loads
[15:09] <zenon> sorry
[15:09] <oCean> zenon: get to it then, use #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat
[15:09] <bazhang> zenon, /join #ubuntu-offtopic , as you've been told several times before
[15:10] <zenon> yes
[15:10] <shahzad> i am using ubuntu 8.10 please tell me its a long term support or not
[15:11] <oCean> !8.10 | shahzad
[15:11] <bazhang> shahzad, 8.04 , not 8.10
[15:11] <shahzad> i need to upgrade firefox what can i do
[15:11] <__Alex_> LTS is LTS for 3 years. 8.10 was released in 2008. Now, it's 4 years after that, so no
[15:12] <oCean> __Alex_: 8.10 was no LTS, besides that LTS is 5 years supported for server edition
[15:12] <oCean> 12.04 LTS will be supported for 5 years both desktop and server :)
[15:12] <xangua> shahzad: run update manager
[15:12] <shahzad> not support
[15:12] <StepNjump> Guys, for some reason, my libreoffice writer disapeared in my application menu. Can anyone tell me why or how I could bring it on there please?
[15:13] <fyksen> Hey! I got a friend who goes at a school. At the school they have blocked some webpages. I thought about setting up a proxy, so he could connect to me, and then to facebook. Does anyone have a guide to how to set it up? I cant find a guide who sets up so external IPadresses can connect to the proxy. 11.10 ubuntu server :)
[15:13] <oCean> shahzad: I would suggest a fresh install of a recent version
[15:14] <shahzad> status failed
[15:14] <shahzad> i have a intel p3.
[15:14] <oCean> status failed?
[15:15] <Chotaz> None of this tools works for me. None give me duplicate directories, only files...
[15:16] <__Alex_> shahzad: Reinstall. And i recommand an OS which uses up less RAM, like Arch Linux
[15:16] <__Alex_> If you have a really ond Comp
[15:16] <red5> hi guys?!
[15:16] <__Alex_> Hi
[15:16] <fyksen> hey
[15:16] <Chotaz> !ask
[15:16] <red5> how to do hibernate function menu work again in 11.10 ?
[15:16] <tjigi-fo> fyksen, there's a reason the school blocked those sites - so your friend can stay off facebook and learn some things that will later in life be useful
[15:17] <Chotaz> fyksen: search UltraSurf, we used it at my school all the time, works great o n Win too :=
[15:17] <fyksen> tjigi-fo, I know, but his apartment is kinda small, and he is at school after the classes to study. Then it's nice to have a way to connect to facebook. Also it's fun for me to learn how to set it up
[15:18] <fyksen> ty Chotaz
[15:18] <cool> red5, For hibernate to work. your swap space should be bigger than your RAM
[15:18] <StepNjump> How to find where libre office is located?
[15:18] <ezequiel> hola
[15:18] <oCean> StepNjump: which libreoffice
[15:19] <oCean> StepNjump: that is an actual command ^
[15:19] <fyksen> tjigi-fo, and he is 32 years old, so it's not like he is in highschool or anything.
[15:19] <kanzie> I just installed mongo on my Ubuntu 11.10 on EC2 but when trying to start it I get terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

[15:19] <kanzie> Aborted
[15:19] <kanzie> what on earth

[15:20] <ejoycho> Hi all
[15:20] <FawkeWithMe> hi pplz
[15:20] <StepNjump> oCean, I lost my libre office and a whole bunch of things in my application menu. I would like to add them back in there but when I do whereis libreoffice, it's not that
[15:20] <ejoycho> my problem is i just Upgraded my ubuntu (with KDE) from 11.04 to 11.10
[15:20] <StepNjump> Just 3 files that have nothing to do oCean
[15:20] <ejoycho> and its all screwed up
[15:21] <ejoycho> can anyone help?
[15:21] <red5> cool: and if i have 8g RAM ?
[15:21] <red5> cool:will i need one swp with more than 8g ?
[15:21] <cool> red5, you need swap file of atleast that size
[15:21] <damo22> hibernate with 8gb ram???
[15:22] <oCean> StepNjump: what does  dpkg -l libreoffice-common  say? Is it still installed?
[15:22] <damo22> quicker to reboot
[15:22] <cool> I mean SWAP partition*
[15:22] <StepNjump> let me check oCean
[15:22] <red5> cool: ok !
[15:23] <StepNjump> Yes, it says it's still installed oCean
[15:23] <acicula> red5: hibernating can try to dump up to the maximum of memory into the swap space, that is not the same as saying you can not hibernate with a swap space smaller then 8Gb.
[15:23] <kanzie> anyone know why all my apps die with _S_create_c_locale name not valid_
[15:23] <StepNjump> 1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1 oCean
[15:23] <kanzie> ?
[15:23] <cool> red5, thing is, At time of hibernation, All data present in memory is written onto SWAP parititon in your HDD.
[15:23] <acicula> !swap
[15:24] <red5> acicula: ok !
[15:24] <ejoycho> hi
[15:25] <acicula> red5: per the faq, i wouldnt make it slower then 8GB, it might still hibernate with less if you are not using that much memory. it also might not hibernate with 8 if your swap is filled to the brim
[15:25] <oCean> StepNjump: but what are the first characters on that line?
[15:25] <acicula> *lower
[15:25] <manhunter> hi, http://www.webfaction.com/services/hosting , 100GB disk space and unlimited database, what does that mean? what will the highest size of the database? 100GB? what's the difference between disk space and database size/space?
[15:25] <oCean> manhunter: how is that an ubuntu issue?
[15:25] <manhunter> web hosting on linux
[15:25] <Chotaz> I have 2 folders that have the same structure on my HDD (pathtohdd/music/GenreA/Flac and pathtohdd/music/GenreB/Flac) is it possible to check the subdirs inside the GenreB/Flac folder and delete them in GenreA/Flac ?
[15:25] <StepNjump> oCean: rc  libreoffice-common                1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1                  office productivity suite -- arch-independent files
[15:25] <oCean> manhunter: how is that an ubuntu issue?
[15:26] <manhunter> ubuntu = linux
[15:26] <__Alex_> But Linux >< ubuntu
[15:26] <oCean> manhunter: but you're still offtopic, don't continue here. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for example
[15:26] <acicula> manhunter: you should ask the sales rep for that service really
[15:26] <manhunter> /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:27] <oCean> StepNjump: see, it's not properly installed
[15:27] <StepNjump> really? mmmm
[15:27] <StepNjump> I always had it isntalled oCean .. what happened!
[15:27] <StepNjump> What does rc mean?
[15:27] <oCean> StepNjump: I don't know what happened, but the "rc" at the beginning of the line says "removed but config files remain"
[15:27] <sviesusisalus> RC = radio control
[15:27] <StepNjump> ah! very good.. well thanks a lot. I will reinstall it then! Should I do a purge first?
[15:28] <oCean> StepNjump: try  sudo apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice-common
[15:30] <StepNjump> ok thanks oCean
[15:30] <StepNjump> I appreciate your help
[15:30] <oCean> StepNjump: welcome

[15:51] <SimeonK> hi, i'm having a problem with cd/dvd mounting: ubuntu always recognizes a blank cd/dvd, but when there's data on it it never mounts (here's dmesg http://pastebin.com/ZAvxS04T). the funny thing is that k3b can read/write on disks without any problems, even though ubuntu doesn't recognize it
[15:52] <hex20dec> Anyone know anything about ESN cloning?
[15:52] <mongy> SimeonK, probably another brasero bug.  keep using k3b or another lighter alternative is gnomebaker
[15:52] <SimeonK> but, how can i get the cd to mount?
[15:53] <HoNgOuRu> hi, Im looking the way to expand my repos, I'm using ubuntu 11.10 is there any not official repo ? I know there is a lot of software out there not in my repos, so please if you know of any master repo give it to me.
[15:53] <Kvaks> How can I tell which xorg driver is currently in use on my system?

[16:01] <atrubale> hiiii!
[16:02] <duvel> high
[16:02] <duvel> i'm high
[16:03] <oCean> duvel: this is probably not the channel you're looking for
[16:03] <duvel> yes it is
[16:03] <CasW> Hey guys, I'm screwed. LightDM won't start ever since I resized Ubuntu's /-partition (I had more than enough space, and I needed to do that for the installation of Gentoo). It hangs at the splash screen after "Checking battery state" or at "starting anac(h)ronistic cron... stopping anac(h)ronistic cron... starting anac(h)ronistic cron... stopping anac(h)ronistic cron... etc...".
[16:04] <duvel> CasW may i recommend to you: the chronic
[16:05] <Marqin> Howdy!
[16:05] <duvel> HOWDY
[16:05] <john889>  woooow
[16:05] <horseatingweeds> Is there a way, through terminal (ssh), to put linux to sleep (suspend)?
[16:05] <CasW> duvel: What do you mean?
[16:06] <duvel> CasW: Smoke the chronic.
[16:06] <FesterJester> ssh server question here. I have created a remastersys live cd that has ssh server installed, but when trying to connect to it i get 'Read from socket failed: connection reset by peer'
[16:06] <dragancho> hey
[16:06] <CasW> :| So, no-one can help me here?
[16:06] <duvel> :)
[16:06] <dragancho> My CPU Temp is 40C is that fine ?
[16:06] <Dweezahr> horseeatingweeds, yes there is, I have made a script for it
[16:07] <horseatingweeds> Dweezahr: can you wake it back up through ssh?
[16:07] <Dweezahr> horseatingweeds, no then you need wake on lan
[16:07] <Dweezahr> command is echo -n disk > /sys/power/state to hibernate
[16:08] <Dweezahr> "echo -n disk > /sys/power/state"
[16:09] <Dweezahr> command is "echo mem > /sys/powr/state"
[16:09] <Dweezahr> to standby
[16:10] <horseatingweeds> Dweezahr: That command will put the computer into hibernate from ssh? Then ssh will be able to wake it up?
[16:10] <Dweezahr> no, services are down once the computer is down, when your nic supports wake on lan that is a way to start it up, or physically access the computer
[16:11] <horseatingweeds> Dweezahr, Ah, thanks. I doubt this system has that on its nic. It's not a server. It's a regular desktop built in 2003.
[16:11] <harry_> hi all. i have a big problem. my ubuntu 11.10 loads every other time when i start. when its not starting it drops me on black screen (initramfs). and there the only thing i do is CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart sytem. anyone any idea? hp pavillion with nvidia ge force 7150M amd cpu.
[16:12] <Dweezahr> horseeatingweeds, same here, pentium 4 from 2003, but I physically turn it on again when needed
[16:12] <harry_> please help. thank you
[16:12] <Dweezahr> harry_, can be anything
[16:12] <horseatingweeds> Dweezahr, mine's a Pentium 4 too. It runs Ubuntu REALLY well.
[16:13] <harry_> i installed nvidia proprietary driver and did all upadetes
[16:13] <harry_> but no luck
[16:14] <Dweezahr> horseatingweeds, me too, clearos is it running, If I have time to update it will run freebsd in the future. For a cli only, linux is great for almost any system, even modern mobile phones are strong enough to do the task my server does
[16:14] <harry_> sometimes when on black screen i see -  ata device not ready drop to shell.
[16:14] <mufflon> harry_: do you have terminal access?
[16:15] <harry_> but i am in dual boot with win7 and probs at all in win7 so must be a software prob
[16:15] <harry_> Mufflon : yes
[16:15] <FesterJester> I have ssh server installed, but when trying to connect to it i get 'Read from socket failed: connection reset by peer'
[16:15] <harry_> now im in ubnutu and i have terminal access
[16:16] <Dweezahr> FesterJester, sshd has to be started, or firewall has to be better configured
[16:16] <ikonia> ab duvel
[16:16] <Dweezahr> harry_ vi /var/log/messages
[16:17] <FesterJester> Dweezahr: sshd is running. lsof shows it listening on *:22
[16:17] <harry_> <Dweezahr: ok
[16:17] <mufflon> harry_: it seems to me the bootmanger or mbr, imho
[16:17] <Dweezahr> FesterJester, what firewall software are you using?
[16:17] <FesterJester> Dweezahr: I have not installed any firewall
[16:17] <Dweezahr> FesterJester, ubuntu desktop installation?
[16:17] <FesterJester> Dweezahr: yes
[16:17] <harry_> do you want me to paste var/log/messages to ubuntu paste bin?
[16:18] <NelsonM> what's my best option for installing Postgres 9.0 on Oneiric? The default packages are 9.1, but I have some data from a 9.0 database I need to recover.
[16:18] <Dweezahr> FesterJester, are there other network services running that work well?
[16:18] <Dweezahr> I think it has to be the firewall
[16:18] <Zal> FesterJester, what client or exact command are you using to connect?
[16:19] <FesterJester> Dweezahr: lsof -i -nP shows two avahi-dae, one dhclient, and two sshd
[16:19] <Dweezahr> kill sshd
[16:20] <Dweezahr> no, killall sshd on linux
[16:20] <Dweezahr> run that command till it says no longer an sshd running
[16:20] <Dweezahr> and then start it with the linux services thing
[16:20] <FesterJester> Dweezahr: will try
[16:20] <florian> does the ubuntu network card go to sleep when it is not in use?
[16:21] <Dweezahr> florian, depends on settings in the OS
[16:21] <harry_> mufflon : the boot manager or mbr what can i do about it?
[16:21] <Dweezahr> florian, does ubuntu sell nics nowadays?
[16:22] <florian> where can I find the setting ( ubuntu with unity )
[16:22] <harry_> <Dweezahr: i cant find a /var/log/messages file
[16:22]  * Rhun Hi :)
[16:22] <mufflon> harry_: perhaps follow this tread, its semms your mbr is messed up http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[16:22] <Dweezahr> try mufflon's advise
[16:22] <harry_> mufflon: i just did a fresh install from usb stick like 2 days ago...
[16:22] <florian> Dweezahr: :) it is a "Atheros Communications AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet"
[16:23] <Dweezahr> harry_, drivers of graphics always ruined my installation
[16:23] <mufflon> harry_: what bootmanager do you use?
[16:23] <Dweezahr> grub?
[16:23] <FesterJester> Dweezahr: no luck. get same response from 'ssh localhost' command
[16:23] <Dweezahr> ssh 127.0.0.1
[16:24] <Dweezahr> florian, have you ever noticed it went to sleep?
[16:24] <harry_> mufflon: my CD drive does not work. its a hardware prob. it dows not work even in win7
[16:24] <FesterJester> same
[16:24] <harry_> mufflon: how can i find out what boot manager i have?
[16:24] <Dweezahr> mufflon: where does this weird distro logs its kernel messages?
[16:24] <xgt001> hello, i had arch and windows 7 dual boot, i created another ext4 partition and installed ubuntu, all the three OS's get detected properly , but arch fails to boot because, the creation of the new partition shifted the arch drives by one, (like /dev/sda7 became /dev/sda8) , please help
[16:24] <florian> Dweezahr: my skype crashes after some time. Or it is not really crashing, nothing is happening anymore. I can't send messages etc. But if I have a radio stream running, while using skype everything is fine
[16:25] <Dweezahr> florian, try to use a browser when skype is crashing, it would not make sense, likely there is something wrong with keepalive connections
[16:25] <mufflon> Dweezahr: imho in /var/log
[16:25] <florian> FesterJester: what response do you get?
[16:25] <Dweezahr> FesterJester, you have to check some logs in /var/log
[16:26] <Dweezahr> there are many logs over there, one of them is right
[16:26] <FesterJester> florian: read from socket failed: connection reset by peer
[16:26] <Dweezahr> ubuntu uses wrong names for logs
[16:26] <florian> Dweezahr: a browser? like firefox? what should i do?
[16:26] <mufflon> harry_: please ctrl+alt+f1
[16:27] <Dweezahr> florian, when things crash see if firefox is still able to load a webpage, so check that not everything related to internet is down, then you can rule out that the couse is the network card
[16:27] <harry_> mufflon : yes i am in tty1
[16:27] <FesterJester> I will check. logs are in /var/logs/ correct
[16:27] <florian> FesterJester: check auth.log
[16:27] <bobweaver> hello there I am looking for a bandwidth monitor from the command line for my servers . Any idea's?
[16:28] <FesterJester> back in a bit then
[16:28] <Dweezahr> florian, ssh did not even got to that part right? if it cannot connect
[16:28] <NelsonM> bobweaver: ifconfig shows basic stats. munin does a good job graphing them.
[16:28] <mufflon> harry_: plz type "grub"
[16:28] <bobweaver> I have tried https://landscape.canonical.com/  but it will not show graphical for network
[16:28] <bobweaver> thansk NelsonM
[16:28] <florian> Dweezahr: firefox works fine. some weeks ago i didn't noticed the problem at all. Because skype shows it is running.
[16:29] <bobweaver> NelsonM: I have also used bmon but....
[16:29] <florian> Dweezahr: and I can kill skype and restart it, and it is good again for few minutes without a radio stream
[16:29] <Dweezahr> florian, that makes it hard to diagnose the problem, but I dont think it is the network card, would be very strange
[16:30] <florian> Dweezahr: i think the problem is very strange. If i start skype with the console, nothing is logged there. no error or warning. I just can't send messages or change my status.
[16:30] <sKew^_-> hi, does 32bit ubuntu run better than 64bit on i7 cpu?
[16:31] <florian> Dweezahr: and the only workaround I found is starting a radio stream
[16:31] <Dweezahr> sKew^_- just use the 64 bit
[16:31] <Dweezahr> florian developer.skype.com
[16:31] <Dweezahr> see if you can file a bug report
[16:31] <bobweaver> sKew^_-:  what is ram is a good question
[16:31] <bobweaver> sKew^_-:  how much do you have ...
[16:31] <Dweezahr> bobweaver, i7 without >4gb ram?
[16:31] <Dweezahr> would be strange
[16:31] <bobweaver> good to go
[16:32] <bobweaver> Dweezahr: yes it would be

[16:33] <WouterNL> Hello everybody! Anyone alive ? :)
[16:33] <Dweezahr> yep
[16:33] <WouterNL> I have a GRUB related question.  I have 2 harddrives. They run in software-raid (Mdadm).   I have an ubuntu distro running with a lightdm on top of it.  When my computer boot's i get a busybox from ubuntu. I thought i had screwed up the grub instalation but the strange thing is this : When i type 'exit' and press enter, the computer continues to boot and operates normally!   I'm thinking : Did i accidentally install two grub's? How 
[16:33] <WouterNL> I have litterally no idea where to start >.>
[16:34] <florian> Dweezahr: thx, will try it there
[16:34] <sKew^_-> bobweaver, 8gb ddr
[16:34] <Dweezahr> WouterNL, check welke dingen je geinstalleerd hebt
[16:34] <sKew^_-> ddr3*
[16:34] <oCean> Dweezahr: english only here, or /join #ubuntu-nl
[16:35] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, i used to have XBMCLive running on it
[16:35] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, it's just a single OS pc, not multiboot
[16:35] <massive__> morning
[16:35] <Dweezahr> WouterNL, so linux only
[16:35] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, yup
[16:36] <massive__> help me.. my wife is watching Gone with the Wind.. ugh..
[16:36] <oCean> massive__: wrong channel
[16:36] <urlin2u> !ot > massive__
[16:36] <massive__> Thanks!
[16:36] <Dweezahr> massive__, just turn on as much as possible pc's then there will be a power outage
[16:36] <oCean> Dweezahr: please don't comment on the nonsense
[16:37] <Dweezahr> oCean !bot
[16:37] <oCean> Dweezahr: ?
[16:37] <WouterNL> massive_ tell her the following (thanks google): Scarlett falls down the stairs and miscarries; Rhett tells Melanie of his love for Scarlett; Melanie dies; Scarlett realizes that she loves Rhett, not Ashley; Rhett abandons Scarlett
[16:37] <oCean> WouterNL: stop it, now
[16:37] <WouterNL> tadaa, movie over :)
[16:37] <Dweezahr> channel hijack
[16:37] <urlin2u> !ot .wout
[16:38] <urlin2u> !ot > WouterNL
[16:38] <oCean> urlin2u: that's enough
[16:38] <Dweezahr> WouterNL, so there is one os, ubuntu, and then you run the installer of xmbcLive and that installs another partition with grub?
[16:38] <urlin2u> oCean, sorry I thought a private was okay.
[16:39] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, no it used to be an xbmclive instalation but i switched because it wasn't working properly, now i just have the ubuntu distro with lightdm
[16:40] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, the installer asked me where to install grub and i just selected sda (out of sda and sdb)
[16:40] <Dweezahr> WouterNL, so there are two harddrives in the computer? or sdb is the usb stick?
[16:40] <falcom> hey guys, my window 7 wasnt able to boot claiming Its need to be repaired. So i did using the windows 7 disc to do bootrec /fixboot /fixdisk. Now when i boot up my computer (dual boot 7 and ubuntu) it said BOOTMGR is missing
[16:40] <falcom> what shoul i do to fix this problem?
[16:41] <oCean> falcom: how is that an ubuntu issue?
[16:41] <Dweezahr> falcom > #grub
[16:41] <falcom> hmm ok thanks!
[16:41] <urlin2u> falcom, I can help you in ##windows probably
[16:41] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, there are 2 harddisks
[16:42] <Dweezahr> sdb2 just for storage?
[16:42] <falcom> urlin2u: seems like it's a grub issue more
[16:42] <DevilSolution> guys any idea where i can get the contents for ~/.profile ... i messed my PATH up and got stuck on a log in loop so i ctrl + alt + f1 into terminal and somehow deleted all the contents of the file, but it let me log in now :D just need to get the original contents back
[16:42] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, i use mdadm to create a raid array out of the two disks (backup raid)
[16:42] <urlin2u> falcom, okay I tried. :)
[16:42] <schubi> I tried to install ubuntu 11.10 on my eeepc t91 and got the error lightdm terminated with status 1 is there a way to install without a grafical window or to get the old version 11.04 which probably works fine (http://www.hilbig.org/t91/index.html)
[16:42] <WouterNL> 2x 2tb, 2 partitions on eich dir, one for linux, one for storage > cloned to the other drive (software raid)
[16:42] <WouterNL> *dir = drive
[16:43] <DevilSolution> anyone fancy pastebin the contents of ~/.profile for me?
[16:43] <oCean> falcom: if you lost grub entirely: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[16:44] <oCean> DevilSolution: it's probably also in /etc/skel/.profile
[16:44] <DevilSolution> cheers
[16:44] <falcom> oCean: ok will read on this
[16:44] <urlin2u> falcom, just for fun here is it a wubi install?
[16:45] <mufflon> DevilSolution: mom plz i fetch u my one
[16:46] <mufflon> DevilSolution: http://paste.ubuntu.com/830259/
[16:46] <Dweezahr> WouterNL, there is as much snow in the hague as in groningen?
[16:46] <metasansana> im trying to mount an ftp share at boot using fuse and fstab
[16:46] <DevilSolution> mufflon, aha, cheers :P
[16:47] <falcom> urlin2u: no. my dual boots worked fine previously. then one day window7 has boot up problem. attempt to fix it with windows command bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot. afterward i cant boot to anything because of BOOTMGR is missing.
[16:47] <metasansana> however on restart I see 'press s to skip or m to manually mount'
[16:47] <Marqin> doh
[16:47] <metasansana> mount -a works after login
[16:47] <metasansana> help?
[16:47] <Travis> Hello.
[16:47] <WouterNL> Dweezahr, no idea how much there is there ;) but here is a 1cm layer i gues. O well, time for dinner , i'll continue on my problem later :)
[16:47] <WouterNL> thanks anyway :)
[16:47] <urlin2u> falcom, was this preceded by the servicepack 1 install perchance?
[16:48] <Travis> Is there a special netbook edition of Ubuntu 11.10?
[16:48] <Dweezahr> WouterNL, okay, laters
[16:48] <Dweezahr> Travis, yes there was
[16:48] <falcom> urlin2u: no. it seems like it happend randomly
[16:48] <Gentoo64> Travis, not any more afaik
[16:49] <Travis> Ok, I am putting Ubuntu on an older Acer Aspire One....complete with the "powered by Ubuntu" sticker
[16:49] <harry_> mufflon : grub is not installed in my sys. which is strange cause i dual boot with win7 and i have grub screen every time i boot os..
[16:49] <Gentoo64> Travis, the normal 11.10 will be alright for netbook
[16:49] <MarshSwagster> Hi
[16:49] <Travis> sweet.  Thanks!
[16:49] <Dweezahr> what happened with netbook remix?
[16:49] <harry_> mufflon should i ap-get install grub?
[16:49] <MarshSwagster> got merged i think
[16:49] <Travis> 11.10 looks like the netbook remix
[16:49] <MarshSwagster> into ubuntu
[16:50] <Travis> I don't like the new layout.  I liked the old menus.  Good thing you can still get the old desktop from the repository.
[16:50] <urlin2u> falcom, we use a bootscript often to see what is where pastebin the results.txt if you need to  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[16:50] <Dweezahr> harry_, you will not have internet connectivity
[16:50] <Travis> thanks.  bye.
[16:51] <harry_> Dweezahr : what? i have internet connection.
[16:51] <Dweezahr> harry_, okay
[16:51] <Dweezahr> harry_, your not in single user mode?
[16:51] <florian_> Dweezahr: that was a good tip. There is already a bug report with my issue
[16:51] <harry_> i am the only one that uses thi pc
[16:52] <Dweezahr> florian_, too bad it is not opensource, else you could help fixing this bug
[16:52] <florian_> with some workarounds ( deleteing the pulse audio libs e.g. )
[16:52] <Dweezahr> harry_, cli only i mean
[16:52] <florian_> yes, and there is no other client for skype because the protocoll is closed too
[16:52] <Dweezahr> florian_ that should fix your problem for this version right?
[16:53] <harry_> i dont understand... the only user account on this pc its mine. no guest.
[16:53] <urlin2u> falcom, if you want to see my bootscript to compare let me know.
[16:53] <SWAGVIPERX> --GRWET ?¿?
[16:53] <Dweezahr> harry_, always do research when not working your daily environment, check youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT8X3d2nUrs
[16:53] <falcom> urlin2u: here's mine http://pastebin.com/iTXknYJM
[16:53] <SWAGVIPERX> hi
[16:54] <milothebuthar> Hey guys... I'm trying to install airsnort, but it isn't in the main repositories... where can i find it
[16:54] <SWAGVIPERX> hello ubuntu
[16:54] <milothebuthar> ?
[16:54] <falcom> urlin2u: also very awesome script
[16:54] <Dweezahr> Dweezahr, there you see a single user mode
[16:54] <SWAGVIPERX> ds
[16:54] <harry_> guys my problem is that i cant boot normaly in ubuntu. it boots every other time.
[16:54] <SWAGVIPERX> its grub
[16:54] <Dweezahr> ubuntu uses rpm or what?
[16:54] <florian_> Dweezahr: I didn't delete them. Other programs use the too. My first try is to disable all sounds that skype could make. and the first five minutes it is working. I hope that this may solve my problem
[16:55] <Dweezahr> florian, I had problem with pulseaudio as well
[16:55] <solexious> i have an executable /home/solexious/eagle-6.1.0/bin/eagle that I want to make run when I just use the command "eagle" from any dir, how?
[16:55] <Dweezahr> florian, alsa is the alternative I see now
[16:56] <florian_> a month ago i used kde with also too.. But with unity i merged to pulse audio..
[16:56] <florian_> also -> alsa :)
[16:57] <pksadiq> solexious: create a symbolic link from /usr/bin/eagle to your corresponding file, might be one way
[16:57] <florian_> and I've got only two problems with it. One is skype now and the other is with the headphone..
[16:57] <metasansana> ok i solved that
[16:57] <florian_> my speaker don't stops playing with headphones enabled

[16:58] <FloodBot1> harry_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:58] <florian_> but everything else is working
[16:58] <Dweezahr> florian, I would say that is fair then
[16:58] <rumpe1> solexious, echo "alias eagle=/home/solexious/eagle-6.1.0/bin/eagle" >> $HOME/.bashrc   (would add it to .bashrc as an alias)
[16:58] <Dweezahr> I use a mixer for all sound related stuff, but I use osx for that part
[16:58] <Dweezahr> windows for this, and linux and bsd for servers
[16:58] <urlin2u> falcom, your missing the  /bootmgr on sda1 if that has been the active partition. you can rebuild that setup with all these commands but to be honest you might try seeking a user Pzt at the ##windows channel.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/813664/

[16:59] <Denny> hello
[16:59] <Guest31709> aww
[16:59] <oCean> Guest31709: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[16:59] <rumpe1> solexious, you have to open a new terminal after that to test it (or execute maybe "exec bash")
[16:59] <Guest31709> no i do not
[16:59] <Guest31709> ---[17:00] <Guest31709> i hab very much ubuntu spuort
[17:00] <Guest31709> LOK BUUNTU ????!!!!!!!!?!!!!!??////

[17:00] <sKew^_-> Guest31709, stop using that flood script
[17:00] <Guest31709> im a sad panda bear
[17:00] <Dweezahr> Thank you Guest31709 for contributing such an interesting discussion
[17:00] <falcom> urlin2u: I believe i did those step already. And does this cause the BOOTMGR is missing error screen(which wont allow me to  choose which OS to boot from)?
[17:00] <Guest31709> NP I LOVE DISCOSSION
[17:00] <oCean> Guest31709: this is ubuntu tech support, not social chat

[17:01] <Dweezahr> ahh
[17:01] <urlin2u> falcom, you also have a grub legacy file in the ubuntu
[17:01] <oCean> Dweezahr: please don't comment on nonsense posts of others
[17:01] <alkamid> how do I do "rm *.foo" but recursively?
[17:01] <sKew^_-> will ubuntu 32bit run faster than 64bit on i7, 8gb ddr3?
[17:01] <urlin2u> look closer at the commands, you also have some anomalies in the ubuntu bootfiles.
[17:01] <Dweezahr> sKew^_-, n o
[17:01] <urlin2u> falcom, ^^
[17:01] <Dweezahr> oCean, but that is difficult when a large part is spam
[17:02] <Dweezahr> part of the comments have to be directed to spam
[17:02] <Myrtti> Dweezahr: you added into it :-|
[17:02] <sKew^_-> Dweezahr, thx :)
[17:02] <oCean> Dweezahr: your comments add to the clutter, don't
[17:02] <falcom> urlin2u: ok.. so what should i do for those?
[17:02] <mah454> How can use DVB-t (hivision hu3962-t) in ubuntu ?
[17:02] <Dweezahr> simplify and purify
[17:03] <rumpe1> sKew^_-, 32bit will run slower, because it can't use the 64bit features (usually)
[17:03] <urlin2u> falcom, can you boot ubuntu now?
[17:03] <falcom> urlin2u: no. im using ubuntu live right now :|
[17:03] <wildc4rd> What is the preferred app for ripping a CD to mp3 or flac under ubuntu?
[17:04] <sKew^_-> rumpe1, ok ok :)
[17:04] <falcom> urlin2u: i cant boot to ubuntu as usual because the "BOOTMGR is missing" error
[17:04] <blip1> wildc4rd: I like asunder
[17:04] <florian_> mah454: have a look at dvb-utils and there are several tools which can show dvb, like vlc
[17:05] <Dweezahr> falcom, then you have to install Grub, but that is always a pain, chicken and the egg situation
[17:05] <RLa> how to see my ubuntu version with ubuntu that has unity?
[17:05] <florian_> cat /etc/issue
[17:05] <oCean> RLa: lsb_release -a
[17:06] <falcom> Dweezahr: is it possible with these instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:06] <falcom> Dweezahr: instaling via ubuntu live
[17:06] <Dweezahr> falcom, that is how I do that usually
[17:06] <RLa> oCean, that assumes i'm enable to find terminal emulator here :)
[17:06] <RLa> that took half hour
[17:07] <sKew^_-> RLa, "ctrl+alt+t" ?
[17:08] <RLa> sKew^_-, thanks, did not know about that shortcut
[17:08] <urlin2u> falcom, you need to chroot into ubuntu and purge grub grub-pc and grub-common the reinstall grub-pc grub-common and when asked where grub goes choose sda use the shift bar to tick sda.
[17:08] <sKew^_-> RLa, your welcom :)
[17:08] <urlin2u> *then
[17:09] <Dweezahr> urlin2u, that is what is happening with the ubuntu live disk
[17:09] <Dweezahr> that is enough for the chroot, just select right hdd right?
[17:09] <wildc4rd> cheers blip1, that seems to work.
[17:09] <falcom> Dweezahr: so...... would "Boot Repair" repair my outdated stuff automatically?
[17:09] <falcom> actually hmm
[17:10] <urlin2u> Dweezahr, not sur I understand, the user has grub legacy and grub 2 as part of this mess.
[17:10] <Dweezahr> urlin2u, ah thats fun
[17:10] <Dweezahr> Had that too, but reinstalled everything then
[17:10] <falcom> urlin2u: Dweezahr : would this utility do the hardwork for me? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[17:10] <Dweezahr> 5 os on one pc back then
[17:11] <cloudgeek> any command line video player good enough like vlc
[17:11] <Dweezahr> urlin2u, that command installs grub2? on fedora you need grub2 in all command you type to install grub
[17:11] <ranok> cloudgeek: mplayer?
[17:11] <urlin2u> Dweezahr, 5 here right now one hd
[17:11] <Dweezahr> urlin2u, old bios?
[17:11] <Dweezahr> I had
[17:11] <Dweezahr> I needed that emulation thing in grub2
[17:11] <cloudgeek> ranok : i don't have gui , i am ubuntu server is that work there
[17:11] <urlin2u> Dweezahr, these are correct in ubuntu.
[17:12] <ranok> cloudgeek: so where do you want the video output?
[17:12] <eQuiNoX__> hey everyone, any ubuntu tutorial that uses a lot of dbus? :) id like to try and read some code that uses a lot of it
[17:12] <urlin2u> Dweezahr, grub-pc grub-common are grub 2
[17:12] <Dweezahr> okay, but that was confusing
[17:12] <eQuiNoX__> s/tutorial/project
[17:12] <ranok> eQuiNoX__: perhaps empathy?
[17:13] <plm> Hi all, now dont have more specific version to net book right... is just desktop (for netbook, notebook and desktops) correct this afirmation or not
[17:13] <urlin2u> Dweezahr, lol not if you know ubuntu's use of grub commands.:)
[17:13] <cloudgeek> randok : in my bash or terminal ,or any video player for ubuntu server so that we can watch movie
[17:13] <eQuiNoX__> ranok: thanks
[17:13] <HoNgOuRu> what do I need to view the open applications small icons next to the time and speaker icon ?
[17:13] <HoNgOuRu> Im using gnome shell
[17:13] <sKew^_-> plm, what are you saying? now dont?
[17:13] <Dweezahr> urlin2u, fedora did keep the old commands and uses install-grub2 etc. so when switching between the two os I found out is was different on ubuntu
[17:13] <Dweezahr> but nevermind
[17:14] <ranok> cloudgeek: you will need X to display gfx and video
[17:14] <urlin2u> Dweezahr, yeah, I use fedora two, not as easy, longer commands.
[17:14] <urlin2u> to
[17:14] <cloudgeek> randok : okay not possible without X
[17:14] <falcom> urlin2u: so is there a site that can guide me to do the chroot and purge thing?
[17:14] <Dweezahr> urlin2u, you noticed ubuntu was vulnerable for a recent bug and fedora was not?
[17:14] <falcom> i dont wanna take your precious time
[17:15] <urlin2u> falcom, yes hold on
[17:15] <oCean> Dweezahr, urlin2u: if you like to continue the grub discussion, please do so in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:15] <plm> sKew^_-: in the past has diferente versionofubuntuto netbook and desktops, and now?
[17:15] <AmelieWhat> Hey guys I am a new ubuntu-user and I ve got one question: I have installed ubuntu with the an encrypted homefolder and then I got the advice with the randomely generated passphrase which should be stored safely. When someone finds the Passphrase, is he able to decrypt my files? And what happens if I don´t print the passphrase  out, could it make some problems in the future?
[17:16] <oCean> !une | plm correct
[17:17] <plm> oCean: and why 12.4 has a version for netbook? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/precise/
[17:17] <sKew^_-> plm,  i never liked the netbook version :/
[17:18] <sKew^_-> why do you want netbook version of a system?
[17:18] <oCean> plm: that is netboot, not netbook
[17:18] <oCean> plm: with netboot you can install through network
[17:18] <urlin2u> falcom, follow the chroot commands once you're there run apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common then run apt-get install grub-pc grub-common  then when asked where grub goes choose sda only use the shift bar to tick it then the esc key to high light then enter.  any commands wrong incorrectly will stop the fix.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[17:19] <Dweezahr> Brilliant plm!
[17:19] <Dweezahr> I couldnt think of that one
[17:19] <plm> oCean: ahh ok but with netbook is for desktop instalation or derver
[17:19] <plm> *server
[17:19] <oCean> plm: netbook WAS (no longer is) a specific desktop edition for small notebooks
[17:20] <urlin2u> falcom, in the link just run the commands to # 9 to bget to the chroot then my commands then a update-grub aftyer all my commands then reboot.
[17:20] <urlin2u> get
[17:20] <Dweezahr> plm, unity apparantly is a graphics environment like kde or gnome, and from the netbook edition it was implemented in the standard edition
[17:21] <falcom> what is your "commands"
[17:21] <sKew^_-> plm, ubuntu server is for server, ubuntu desktop is for laptop, desktops, netbooks etc - correct me if a im wrong #ubuntu
[17:21] <Dweezahr> sKew^_-, seems right
[17:21] <urlin2u> falcom, there are in the post before the last one.
[17:21] <oCean> Dweezahr: no, unity is a shell, not a de
[17:21] <urlin2u> I made
[17:22] <falcom> ah ok the windows one
[17:22] <urlin2u> falcom, ^^
[17:22] <sKew^_-> Dweezahr, nice, dont wanna say wrong info
[17:22] <Dweezahr> oCean, I only know unitity3d
[17:22] <urlin2u> falcom, no you are confused.
[17:22] <oCean> Dweezahr: it's a shell around gnome
[17:22] <wildc4rd> blip1, it worked, but where does it hide the rip! lol
[17:23] <falcom> urlin2u: hmm what should i mount in this case ? my windows or ubuntu?
[17:23] <Dweezahr> oCean, a user interface for gnome
[17:23] <urlin2u> falcom, follow this then when you have run the the install commands run update-grub follow the chroot commands once you're there run apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common then run apt-get install grub-pc grub-common  then when asked where grub goes choose sda only use the shift bar to tick it then the esc key to high light then enter.  any commands wrong incorrectly will stop the fix.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[17:23] <blip1> wildc4rd: I think the default is your home folder - see the preferences
[17:23] <sKew^_-> plm, if u like the gui of netbook version, you shud try to see ubuntu 11.10 on youtube, or 12.04
[17:24] <mufflon> has anyone of you experiences using unity for desktop-office pcs in small buisnesses?
[17:24] <urlin2u> falcom, copy and paste that last post to a gedit so you can read igt.
[17:24] <urlin2u> it
[17:25] <milothebuthar> Hey, anyone experiencing problems trying to adjust the brightness settings on a laptop?
[17:25] <urlin2u> falcom, you chroot from the ubuntu live cd.
[17:25] <bobweaver> mufflon:  a little about 10 computers why do you ask  ?
[17:25] <TheBigOnee> Some hacker here ?
[17:25] <bobweaver> !hacker | TheBigOnee
[17:25] <oCean> milothebuthar: there are many issues/bugs reported in LP for that
[17:25] <urlin2u> TheBigOnee, ubuntu support only. :)
[17:25] <Dweezahr> mufflon, look for some reviews, http://royal.pingdom.com/2011/11/23/ubuntu-linux-losing-popularity-fast-new-unity-interface-to-blame/
[17:25] <mufflon> ive to change my squeze systems to wheezy when its stable, but ive to install it new cause squeeze is an upgrade yet, so perhaps i can use ubuntu
[17:25] <falcom> urlin2u: yes. im at this step. sudo mount ... do i mount the ubuntu sda ?
[17:25] <milothebuthar> oCean: what is LP?
[17:25] <falcom> or the windows

[17:26] <ampharos> How do I mount a dirty NTFS partition?
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> dirty?
[17:26] <bobweaver> ampharos:  in a sandbox ?
[17:26] <ampharos> on actual hardware
[17:26] <oCean> ampharos: In my experience you have to fix it from windows first
[17:27] <ampharos> Windows performed an unclean shutdown, so the disk is still dirty
[17:27] <ampharos> What if Windows doesn't boot? for me it's just booting into recovery mode where it wants to restore to factory settings (lolno)
[17:27] <Dweezahr> ampharos, use grub rescue disk to start windows
[17:27] <urlin2u> falcom, I can't walk you through the whole process, read the link clearly, and follow the commands or wait for a user who can do this.
[17:28] <oCean> ampharos: I don't think it's possible to fix the ntfs from Ubuntu
[17:28] <urlin2u> falcom, having to walk people through is not my forte.
[17:29] <sKew^_-> btw what is a dirty NTFS partition one whit porn onit?
[17:29] <TheBigOnee> I forgive a password on my .rar archive.. How I can hack it with ubuntu ?
[17:29] <Dweezahr> ampharos, maybe when using ubuntu you can fix ntfs, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-corrupted-windows-ntfs-filesystem-ubuntu/
[17:29] <ampharos> I don't need to do an exhaustive check, just need to mount it, which ubuntu will not to
[17:29] <sKew^_-> TheBigOnee, Read about Bruteforce! google it dont ask more :)
[17:29] <Dweezahr> sKew^_- , keep the vibe up here!
[17:30] <Dweezahr> it is an unproper shutdown
[17:30] <MonkeyDust> !ntfs
[17:30] <oCean> sKew^_-: please don't tell others "google it"
[17:30] <bobweaver> TheBigOnee:  ask #blackbuntu or #backtrack-linux
[17:30] <urlin2u> falcom, the ubuntu forums have group of users who do this stuff, if needed go there post the latest bootscript don't run any commands after it and wait for help, thatks where I learned this I use to be in this group of helpers there.
[17:30] <Dweezahr> oCean, indeed, people should first google than ask
[17:30] <TheBigOnee> thanks
[17:30] <oCean> Dweezahr: don't be silly, we are here to help.
[17:31] <Dweezahr> yes, but when no googling, the help is not sufficient
[17:31] <Dweezahr> too many questions
[17:31] <sKew^_-> oCean, okey. but iam not gonna explane what bruteforce is
[17:31] <urlin2u> TheBigOnee, sorry man I don't do Pm's. :)
[17:31] <MonkeyDust> Dweezahr  some people are not skilled enough to know what's, hence don't know what to google for
[17:31] <bobweaver> this is a support channel I think we like the questions (just sayin )
[17:31] <MonkeyDust> what's wrong*
[17:32] <Dweezahr> MonkeyDust, exactly, pointing in the direction to where to google would be very helpfull is my experience, so saying to google is good
[17:32] <sKew^_-> bobweaver, but bruteforceing issent a ubuntu related question? or is it if its on a ubuntu platform?
[17:32] <oCean> Dweezahr: referring others to google is not acceptable here. If you wish to discuss channel rules, do so in #ubuntu-ops, not here
[17:33] <bobweaver> sKew^_-:  Oo What oO
[17:34] <bobweaver> sKew^_-:  say that john is misconfigured because of something to do with ubunut then it is a support question but a question how do I do a dic attack is not
[17:35] <urlin2u> falcom, just so you know this is not a gui fix it will need commands from the terminal as I have given you so just a heads up .
[17:36] <sKew^_-> bobweaver, okey i see, got the difrent now :)
[17:36] <pk___> i did this   ln -s /root/data /var/www/data   now when i open http://localhost/data   it say Forbidden
[17:36] <bobweaver> !permissions | pf
[17:36] <bobweaver> !permissions | pk___
[17:37] <pk___> apache server is running as root ..and root user has access to this directory i am sure
[17:37] <bobweaver> pk___:  but I am guessing that you are looking for groups and how to add them to your www folder ?
[17:37] <sKew^_-> bobweaver,  can i ask how to install all the tools for bt5 here or in bt chan?
[17:37] <sKew^_-> bobweaver, on ubuntu 10.04 host
[17:37] <bobweaver> sKew^_-:  well that you said that it was for BT then go there ...
[17:37] <urlin2u> sKew^_-, their channel
[17:37] <bigtom21485> how do i print ebooks on ubuntu?
[17:37] <Dweezahr> pk___, it can also be a configuration issue in apache, or a .htaccess file
[17:38] <sKew^_-> kk
[17:38] <blip1> apache normally runs as www-data
[17:38] <pk___> Dweezahr: it is a fresh ubuntu installation..i dint touch any conf file
[17:38] <Dweezahr> pk___ chmod the file then indeed
[17:38] <kleanchap> Are there calendars like ical that you can download for evolution client?  I am looking for national holidays and sports events calendars.
[17:39] <Dweezahr> pk___ usually it is 755
[17:39] <Dweezahr> so chmod 777 755 <file>
[17:39] <Dweezahr> * chmod 755 <file>
[17:39] <pk___> set 777 on the directory
[17:39] <bobweaver> Dweezahr: 644 for files and 755 for dir ?
[17:40] <bigdavjoker> looking for help getting active card smart card reader working it shows up in lsusb but canpt find it with pcsc_scan
[17:40] <Dweezahr> bobweaver? really?
[17:40] <bobweaver> Dweezahr:  I am wondering
[17:40] <pk___> In REDhat SELINUX wont let httpd access users' home directories..but i guess SElinux is not installed on ubuntu..ryt?
[17:41] <Dweezahr> bobweaver, me too, usually I use 755
[17:41] <bobweaver> Dweezahr:  something like this find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} && find . -type d -f xec chmod 644 {} ;
[17:42] <Dweezahr> bobweaver, owner needs a 7 for us to work properly, so the 644 wont work
[17:42] <bobweaver> thanks Dweezahr
[17:42] <urlin2u> Dweezahr, bobweaver the channel is really busy, can you al do the conversation in a pm or off topic it would be really helpful . :)

[17:49] <Dweezahr> bobweaver, you were right with permisions, will fix this on our corporate hoster

[17:54] <urlin2u> bobweaver, I see some info on google up to 10.10 with a quick foo.

[18:00] <babolatpdtp> hey guys. is the ubuntu ISO correupted? neither mac nor windows recognize it as a valid format so i can't get it onto a USB
[18:00] <babolatpdtp> i've never had a problem in the past. but now nothing works
[18:00] <bobweaver> !md5sum | babolatpdtp

[18:01] <babolatpdtp> celthunder: 62fb5d750c30a27a26d01c5f3d8df459
[18:02] <babolatpdtp> celthunder: it's correct
[18:03] <urlin2u> bobweaver, not really i'm just a enthusiast in general, I have some limited skills really. :)
[18:04] <babolatpdtp> anyone know why? for now i'm going to try to just do it with ubuntu 10 and then upgrade
[18:05] <jane-doe> babolatpdtp Unetbootin always does it for me
[18:05] <babolatpdtp> jane-doe: ok thanks i'll give that a try as well
[18:06] <HoNgOuRu> where is the notification area in ubuntu11.10 + gnome 3 ?

[18:12] <colo-work> hi all.
[18:12] <colo-work> I'm looking to install an up-to-date (version 3.2) kernel image on an Ubuntu Lucid box - is there anything that I'd have to explicitly take care of when doing that?
[18:13] <colo-work> are there repos available with backportd kernel images for lucid?
[18:13] <colo-work> backported*
[18:13] <urlin2u> colo-work, in general that isn't supported here, just a heads up.
[18:13] <colo-work> urlin2u, what is "that"?
[18:14] <urlin2u> colo-work, kernels outside of the regular distro ones are not supported here you can ask I don't care but you may not get help.
[18:15] <jane-doe> babolatpdtp do you have another usb stick to try? What OS are you using right now? Any access to Gparted?
[18:16] <barakisbrown> Q: Install Ubuntu : Do I install 11.04 from my usb stick and then upgrade to 11.10 or can I force the upgrade to do an actual install since I have not yet installed it?
[18:18] <urlin2u> barakisbrown, use the 11.10 to instal.
[18:20] <LjL> barakisbrown: not entirely sure i got you, but you'd probably be better off downloading the 11.10 ISO rather than installing 11.04 and then upgrading.
[18:21] <irina_> Q: Hi, i am trying to configure my ubuntu 11.10 to a screen resolution of 1240x640 but i have some problems with xrandr... can somebody help me?
[18:23] <sKew^_-> Hi, i need a program that converts dmg, file to iso file, some recomands?
[18:23] <theadmin> irina_: I don't think that's an ordinary (supported) resolution. Add it to xorg.conf manually
[18:24] <dennis_> i have a problem NO_PUBKEY 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 +"ubuntu 11.10"
[18:24] <barakisbrown> LjL: 32bit version should be fine right?
[18:24] <LjL> barakisbrown: if you have a 64bit system with 4GB of RAM or more, better get 64bit
[18:24] <irina_> thers the Problem, i cant find any yorg.conf on ubuntu 11.10... So i tryed to add a new mode to xrandr with folowing command i found on google: xrandr --newmode "1240x640"  60.0  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
[18:25] <theadmin> irina_: You need to create an xorg.conf
[18:25] <irina_> but i dont undersantd the command right...
[18:25] <irina_> theadmin: that sounds good, but how ?
[18:25] <LjL> !fixres
[18:25] <babolatpdtp> jane-doe: i've tried 3 USB sticks. all the same error

[18:25] <theadmin> irina_: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf (replace vim by your favorite command-line based editor)
[18:26] <sKew^_-> dennis_, i think you need to run  "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key" " in terminal to make it work then sudo apt-get update afther
[18:27] <jane-doe> bobolatpdtp Are you using Ubuntu or windows right now?

[18:38] <theadmin> irina_: I have no idea what are lightdm's requirements
[18:39] <babolatpdtp> ranok: for mac i've used disk util. on windows i used whatever it wasthat the ubuntu site recommended. i've also tried unetbootin
[18:39] <irina_> theadmin: i think i need a real xorg.conf and change it or the right command the add my resolution to randr ....
[18:39] <theadmin> irina_: Err, that *is* a real xorg.conf
[18:40] <OldManMagnus> hi. i'm using 12.04 and i've got nothing in the top toolbar. anyone else having this problem?
[18:40] <scott__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/830411/
[18:40] <OldManMagnus> no clock. no system thing.
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> OldManMagnus  #ubuntu+1
[18:40] <OldManMagnus> MonkeyDust: thanks.
[18:40] <irina_> but on my old ubuntu systems (8.04) my xorg.conf got i think aubout 100 lines
[18:40] <theadmin> irina_: Yeah, X autoconfigures now. That's a Good Thing.
[18:40] <ranok> babolatpdtp: you followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From_Mac_OSX ?
[18:41] <babolatpdtp> ranok: yup did it that wayt too
[18:41] <babolatpdtp> the conversion went on for 5-10 min, then errored out
[18:41] <babolatpdtp> it keeps saying "could not validate source". in disk utility when i run a verify disk, it says it can't find an md5
[18:41] <ranok> hmm, sorry, idk
[18:42] <babolatpdtp> like nothing to compare it to. im wondering if it's blocking it because it can't verif
[18:42] <irina_> theadmin: Fatal Service error: Unrecognized option autoconfigures
[18:42] <ranok> I always use the ubuntu creator
[18:42] <theadmin> irina_: err... I'm just saying that X configures automatically.
[18:42] <theadmin> irina_: That's why you don't need any huge xorg.conf
[18:43] <irina_> theadmin: ok that make sens
[18:44] <scott__> bobweaver can u help after my schoolboy error
[18:44] <irina_> theadmin: but now i have a broken lightdm and the same screen resolution (800x600) :(
[18:45] <bobweaver> scott__:  yes I am looking at config now
[18:45] <scott__> thx
[18:45] <theadmin> irina_: Well to get back to how it was you can just delete the xorg.conf you have created, but I dunno how come it doesn't work
[18:47] <ccolorado> Hello I have a netbook / tablet pc. on the screen I have a hardware button meant for screen rotation.  How can i catch its keypress (most likely a multimedia like key)   when pressed to run a command ( my screen rotation script ). I guess i first need to find out what the keypress code is. Any help ?
[18:49] <irina_> theadmin: yes i know, i have moved the xorg config back to my ~ and now my lightdm works fine...
[18:50] <bobweaver> scott__:  there are a couple things that I see . please take a look at some of these links http://www.googlubuntu.com/results/?cx=006238239194895611142%3Au-ocqbntw_o&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&q=10ec%3A8139&as_qdr=m2&sa=Google+Search&lang=en
[18:50] <zykotick9> irina_: if you want to generate an Xorg (based on your hardare), stop Xorg (lightdm) then run "sudo X -configure" and then copy the generated xorg.conf (it will tell you where it puts it) to /etc/X11/
[18:50] <theadmin> ccolorado: If you're using Gnome/Unity, there is an app called "Keyboard Shortcuts", in XFCE it's called just "Keyboard". Go there and create a new shortcut. It's straightforward really, define command, press key
[18:50] <bobweaver> look at blacklisting one of them 8139   might be the cp one I bet then you might not need ndiswrapper
[18:51] <A|i3N> OK so - got several different file formats I'm trying to burn to regular DVD's for playback on the 'ol flatscreen.... I have at least a dozen, would *like* to get them done today ..... what's the *fastest* yet best quality software in ubuntu to convert N burn with??
[18:51] <ccolorado> theadmin, tnaks i did try that, but It doesn't seem to register the key ( ubuntu / unity)
[18:51] <scott__> thx ill take a look
[18:51] <theadmin> ccolorado: Hm... I dunno, go to xev, see if pressing it actually generates any X event
[18:51] <timon> how do I get sudo powers when I'm looking at my filesystem from a bootusb?
[18:51] <bobweaver> scott__:  follow chilli555 diections
[18:52] <ccolorado> theadmin, ahhhh xev that was the name i was tring to remember :P
[18:52] <ccolorado> thanks
[18:52] <grubbyone> I have grub2 installed to a usb stick, I want to add an entry that boots from the first hard drive and make it the default, where do I start?
[18:52] <ccolorado> theadmin, first time i get the right answer by asking the wrong question hahaha
[18:52] <theadmin> ccolorado: lol
[18:52] <babolatpdtp> is there a reason why the ubuntu download site says: "We would encourage Mac users to download Ubuntu Desktop Edition by burning a CD for the time being."
[18:53] <acidflash> I am seeing ->     inet 172.13.1.1/32 scope global eth1, but I dont have that ip set on eth1, where can I remove it, its not in /etc/network/interfaces ...
[18:53] <zykotick9> babolatpdtp: because some Mac won't boot from gnu/linux USB media
[18:54] <xSmurf> how would I go about using loop devices in an initrd hook? it seems like I can't get the module to load or the devices created properly
[18:55] <babolatpdtp> zykotick9: but it's just for creating a bootable CD/USB, not actually running it. like right now im trying to get ubuntu onto a USB so i can put it onto my new server, but it keeps failing and I'm wondering if that message is the reason
[18:56] <ccolorado> theadmin, wow xev didnt react to the keypress, I may need a driver or something
[18:56] <theadmin> ccolorado: Suppose so yeah
[18:56] <strat-o-caster> Hi, I lost my contact list in Evolution (an everything else) when I upgraded to the new distro.  I can deal with my email and calendars, but how do I get my contact list back?
[18:56] <irina_> zykotick9: ok i am playing with the new xorg.conf...
[18:58] <rick_> hello folks any one know where to get ubuntu debugging tool
[18:58] <theadmin> rick_: That doesn't make sense. What do you want to debug?
[18:59] <rick_> i want to view kernel
[18:59] <urlin2u> grubbyone, there are some great intructions on the web for this personally I use the multisystem usb loader it uses grub, and can have multiple ISO's to choose from.
[18:59] <rick_> i want to learn the makeup of ubuntu 11.10 os
[18:59] <theadmin> rick_: sudo apt-get source linux
[18:59] <ccolorado> I just realized what a good work distros have done on detecting wierd hardware when i tried to remember how to manually probe and id unsupported hardware
[18:59] <bobenhaus> heh.  I'm running circlemud on my box lol
[19:00] <grubbyone> urlin2u: right now I have ubuntu "installed" to a USB stick, I just want to make it so it passes through to the hard drive by default on boot
[19:00] <urlin2u> grubbyone, easy run a update grub from it.
[19:00] <grubbyone> from the usb installation?
[19:00] <urlin2u> grubbyone, I assume it is grub 2 here.
[19:00] <grubbyone> urlin2u: yeah
[19:01] <urlin2u> grubbyone, yep if grub 2
[19:01] <grubbyone> urlin2u: grub update will just mgaically do what I want?
[19:01] <rick_> it failed
[19:01] <urlin2u> grubbyone, grub 2 has a search for other OS yep.
[19:02] <rick_> <theadmin >  it failed
[19:02] <urlin2u> grubbyone, you have to be booted to that install run sudo update-grub
[19:03] <grubbyone> urlin2u: didn't find the OS on the first hard drive, can I manually set it to just boot from that drive?
[19:04] <grubbyone> I'm running it from the usb install, that is the grub menu I want to change
[19:05]  * Star_Light later
[19:05] <acidflash> there is an ip appearing when i press ip add show on eth1, even though i did not put it on eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces, how do i remove it ?
[19:06] <grubbyone> I've seen the entry on many multiboot things, that it just says "boot from first hard drive"
[19:07] <bobenhaus> anyone on yahoo right now?
[19:08] <phoenixsampras> hi

[19:12] <saturn5ve> hi, who can help me to a sound card driver for my dell inspiron n4050?  I know  this dell is certified for ubuntu 11.10 but skype isn't working properly under 11.10 and the desktop in 10.04 or 10.10 seems to be much better than in 11.10
[19:12] <marce_> como hago para cambiar la proridad de so en el grub? con que programa? ayuda D:
[19:12] <SilfenX> hello - I m trying to compile a program from source but havent done it before. the tarrball unpacked left me with a directory looking like this "images (dir)  installer.nsi  LICENSE  player.pro  README  resources.qrc  src (dir)"". How do  I make functioning program out of this mess?
[19:13] <auronandace> saturn5ve: if you don't like unity you don't have to use it (i use 11.10 with xfce)
[19:13] <theadmin> SilfenX: Read the "README" :P
[19:13] <nobitanobi> I do a path to some folder quite a lot via terminal.  How can I do some kind of shortcut to be able to go to the path ?
[19:13] <Gnea> !ar | marce_
[19:13] <SilfenX> theadmin: I did! It said use 'Make' and I did and it replied "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."
[19:14] <Zal> nobitanobi, you can create a shell alias for "cd /some/really/long/path/name"
[19:14] <nobitanobi> shell alias, ok
[19:14] <theadmin> SilfenX: Well I don't see a makefile there. You sure you don't need to use something else before that?
[19:14] <SilfenX> theadmin: I m not sure of anything. What would that be?
[19:15] <zykotick9> SilfenX: what are you compiling?  are you sure there isn't a package available?
[19:15] <marce_> inglese

[19:15] <player> how do i execute shell script automatically at startup
[19:15] <nobitanobi> haha
[19:15] <scott__> bobweaver tried to workthrough but appear diff not sure I have conflict http://paste.ubuntu.com/830452/
[19:15] <nobitanobi> do I have to write that alias in some file
[19:15] <nobitanobi> or directly into the shell
[19:16] <zana> ijos de puta!!!!
[19:16] <theadmin> nobitanobi: ~/.bashrc would be the best place
[19:16] <zana> hijos de puta
[19:16] <SilfenX> zykotick9: yes, this is a new revision of the program I m needing to use. There s a bunch of bugfixes that are critical and the only deb package available is an older version :(
[19:16] <nobitanobi> zana: stfu
[19:16] <zana> mariquita
[19:16] <robotive> oO
[19:16] <Zal> nobitanobi, you can write it directly into shell to test it, but to have it keep working each time you'll need to add it to your shell startup file (whichever you use, e.g. ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile)
[19:16] <m4v> !ops | zana is insulting
[19:16] <zana> fuck
[19:16] <zana> XD
[19:16] <Zal> nobitanobi, see "man bash" and search for INVOCATION for startup file details
[19:16] <nobitanobi> ok Zal
[19:17] <nobitanobi> it makes sense
[19:17] <nobitanobi> let me see

[19:24] <onre> sort of stupid question; with unity, when i right-clicked an url in terminal and selected "open link", it opened up in firefox window that was on another desktop. now, with xfce4, it works the same BUT firefox window is moved to current workspace. how can i prevent this from happening?

[19:29] <Zac_o_O> hi all, how do I find out what user or group owns a directory?
[19:29] <zykotick9> Zac_o_O: ls -l
[19:29] <llutz> Zac_o_O: ls -ld dir
[19:29] <Zal> Zac_o_O, ls -l /your/dir
[19:29] <Zal> ls -ld even better
[19:30] <player> MonkeyDust:but it doesn't contain ubuntu dvd...!
[19:30] <Zac_o_O> thanks!
[19:30] <baal> mous
[19:30] <indio> Hi. My tty console has the keys all wrong...
[19:30] <zykotick9> player: you'll probably be disappointed with the DVD, i think it only contains more language support, not more programs
[19:31] <Zac_o_O> Ok, i see that root owns the directory, but how do I see what group?
[19:31] <player> zykotick9: i want ubuntu dvd like centos with all packages...?
[19:32] <zykotick9> Zac_o_O: does it say root:root ?
[19:32] <llutz> !permissions | Zac_o_O
[19:32] <zykotick9> player: not offered by ubuntu, debian does
[19:32] <ophelias_> does anyone know how to disable the guest account in 11.10.
[19:32] <Zac_o_O> yes it says root: root
[19:32] <Myrtti> player: not even the DVD contains all the packages
[19:33] <zykotick9> Zac_o_O: so user is root and group is root
[19:33] <Zac_o_O> ah
[19:33] <llutz> Zac_o_O: owner:group   that is
[19:33] <player> how do i update grub bootloader...?
[19:34] <Zac_o_O> ah, so I guess I need to add a group and change permissions of the directory to make the owner root and group something else?
[19:34] <zykotick9> Zac_o_O: perhaps explaining what you want to do would help?
[19:34] <indio> Hi. My tty console has the keys wrong. Any ideas?
[19:35] <Zac_o_O> well i just created a RAID1 with mdadm and have it mounted on /mnt/TM.  But I can't write any data to it and permissions are root:root
[19:35] <Gnea> indio: time for a new keyboard?
[19:36] <Zac_o_O> I would like my my user part of the group that has rwx permissions
[19:36] <zykotick9> indio: you probably need to change the keyboard layout, sorry i don't know how ubuntu deals with that, good luck.
[19:36] <Zac_o_O> does that make sense?
[19:36] <indio> Gnea: I don't think that'll fix it. On X display it works fine.
[19:36] <indio> I see. Thanks.
[19:36] <player> how do i update grub bootloader...?
[19:37] <zykotick9> player: to a new version?
[19:37] <jeremiah_> how do you install jdk on lubuntu?
[19:37] <zykotick9> player: "sudo update-grub" if you mean to find bootable installs
[19:37] <zykotick9> !java | jeremiah_

[19:39] <freigeist_> can someone help me with creating a partition table on a usb drive with gparted?
[19:39] <Gnea> freigeist_: just open gparted and do it
[19:40] <freigeist_> Gnea:gpared refuses to create the table
[19:40] <Gnea> freigeist_: is there any table space freed up?
[19:40] <rubdos> Can anybody give me (a link for) a laptop for $680 / €520, with (preferably) no os or a linux system? I'm going FULLY for design/style. Components are second place (altough I need a working network card :p). I fell in love with the Apple macbook look. But I don't like the logo at the back nor the OS :-)
[19:40] <Gnea> rubdos: no, but you might find one via newegg.com or pricewatch.com
[19:41] <Zal> rubdos, not sure about the OS, but you could just put a nice sticker over the logo ;-)
[19:41] <player> what should i do if i forgot my root password
[19:41] <neal__> Hi
[19:41] <ikonia> player: there is no root password to forget
[19:41] <Gnea> player: well, since there is no root password to begin with, you have nothing to worry about
[19:41] <rubdos> Zal: I don't like the price either :)
[19:42] <neal__> Can anybody help me write a short script?
[19:42] <trever69420> has anyone here used Tor on ubuntu?
[19:42] <freigeist_> Gnea: not sure, how do i look it up?
[19:42] <YokoBR> could someone help me to mount my psp with write permission?
[19:42] <Zal> rubdos, yeah, I like thinkbooks, but they ain't cheap
[19:42] <ikonia> trever69420: many people
[19:42] <trever69420> ok maybe someone can help me
[19:42] <zykotick9> !ot | rubdos
[19:42] <bobweaver> neal__:  what is script for ?
[19:42] <neal__> I have a problem with my touchpad
[19:42] <Zal> no root password? So no one can log in as root, but certain users are configured to use sudo? Where can I read about this setup?
[19:43] <Gnea> freigeist_: you might need to remove all partitions from the usb stick first
[19:43] <ikonia> !root > Zal
[19:43] <neal__> The problem is that when I login, I cannot use the touchpad if the mouse is not first plugged in or later plugged in.
[19:43] <Zal> thanks ikonia
[19:43] <Gnea> !sudo > Zal
[19:43] <trever69420> i have a ubuntu server... which is acting as my dhcp server and firewall (essentially my router)... i'm curious if it'd be possible to install tor on this server and only allow certain websites to pass over the proxy
[19:43] <Zal> thanks Gnea
[19:44] <freigeist_> Gnea: it seems to be empty at all
[19:44] <Gnea> Zal: cheers
[19:44] <ikonia> trever69420: yes, although it would be quite a complex setup
[19:44] <Gnea> freigeist_: if it doesn't have a 1 after it, and just /dev/sdb or whatever it is, then you should be able to create a new partition
[19:44] <trever69420> ikonia: what you think would be the best way to do it.. a virtual interface?
[19:44] <neal__> If mouse is not plugged in, in order to use the touchpad, I have to do one of two things.
[19:44] <ikonia> trever69420: no, it would be quite a complex setup,
[19:45] <trever69420> hmmm
[19:45] <Mautz> Hey there! After a BIOS-update my fakeraid wasn't reachable for linux anymore, so i reinstalled ubuntu (11.10). during installation it found some raid configuration, which i skipped. i could formate the disks liked i wanted and installation went on. but it doesn't start up due to missing device.
[19:45] <metap0d> Could anyone help me? I installed Ubuntu Server 11.10 and for some reason I can't login to root ... everything is the wrong password : /
[19:45] <metap0d> I can however issue sudo
[19:45] <auxxx> \whois auxxx
[19:45] <scientes_> where is the debian-installer for ubuntu?
[19:45] <ikonia> metap0d: there is no root password
[19:45] <YokoBR> please, i can't mount my psp with write permission
[19:45] <metap0d> ikonia: So I see..
[19:45] <ikonia> metap0d: I suggest reading https://help.ubuntu.com to get an introduction to ubuntu
[19:45] <trever69420> i was hoping to just find a way to allow every machine in my house to be able to access any *.onion domain without having to have tor installed on the local machine
[19:45] <neal__> I can hit the Fn key and then F3 or, if I am running Touchpad Indicator, I can hit Ctrl Alt c.
[19:45] <metap0d> ikonia: Yeah I'm a few pages in now
[19:45] <ikonia> trever69420: that is possible, but quite a complex setup
[19:46] <Zac_o_O> anyone?
[19:46] <trever69420> well thanks... i'm not to concerned about the complexity lol
[19:46] <ikonia> Zac_o_O: enyone what
[19:46] <ikonia> trever69420: then good luck with it
[19:46] <trever69420> meaning you dont know?
[19:46] <Zac_o_O> sorry...asked a question a while up the thread :D
[19:46] <ikonia> trever69420: meaning I understand how to do it, and it's quite complex.
[19:47] <scientes_> oh, i found the .jigdo, that will do for my needs
[19:47] <player> how do install centos from usb drive
[19:47] <ikonia> player: ask in #centos
[19:47] <Zal> So, does ubuntu allow for creation of a user with sudo privleges during installation?
[19:47] <freigeist_> Gnea: there is no 1, just /dev/sdb but it refuses to create the table
[19:47] <ikonia> Zac_o_O: just change the permissions
[19:47] <zykotick9> Zal: the 1st user created is automatically added to sudo group, yes
[19:47] <Zal> zykotick9, I see, thanks

[19:49] <ratcheer> Navion: You were helping me this morning with my lost ethernet in Ubuntu. I had to go to church. I discovered that /home was not mounted. I ran fsck and it fixed some inodes. I rebooted and my ethernet is working, again.

[19:51] <oDesk> Hello everyone
[19:51] <frybye> re - after installing nvidia 290.10 no access to screen on booting.  I guess I need to delete the xorg.config or? If so how do I do that because the recovery consol gives me only read access?
[19:51] <pangolin> player: do about what?
[19:51] <rick_>   j does nothing
[19:51] <ikonia> player: ask in the channel #centos - as you've been told
[19:52] <oDesk> I've just upgraded my ubuntu 11.10 and i can't login to the system, now i'm using other laptop to talk here
[19:52] <freigeist_> Gnea: yes, not assigned and the size
[19:52] <oDesk> the login GUI appears , but when i enter the password, the black screen come and return back to the login GUI
[19:52] <Gnea> freigeist_: okay, and if you right-click on the area above that, are the 'new' or 'delete' options available?
[19:52] <rick_> hello mr potato head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
[19:52] <ikonia> rick_: please stop messing around

[19:53] <WoC> oDesk try another session ?
[19:53] <Gnea> !ubuntu | rick_
[19:53] <bobweaver> neal__:  lol that is not that simple of a script but maybe you could run a if statement on dmesg | grep </dev/whatever the mouse is >  then do "whatever Ctrl Alt cdoes " else  "Fn F3 "  fi
[19:53] <oDesk> WoC: no session does work, the Console recovery and ubuntu 2d and user defined all does return to same screen
[19:54] <WoC> oDesk check the logs ?
[19:54] <oDesk> WoC: which log file ?
[19:54] <freigeist_> Gnea: just "new", which leads to a error measage; no partition table found on /dev/sdb
[19:54] <indio> Gnea: Thanks. That helped.
[19:54] <oDesk> WoC: alot of files are in /var/log/
[19:54] <WoC> oDesk i would start with syslog
[19:55] <frybye> put this differently - I now have a non-functional nvidia driver - how do i revert a functional one?
[19:55] <Gnea> freigeist_: click on 'Device' at the top and then 'Create partition table'
[19:55] <pangolin> !pm > aoregcdu

[19:56] <rick_> so does anyone know how to get debugging tool
[19:56] <zykotick9> frybye: did you install it direct from nvidia.com or using apt-get (i believe i remember you from last night, and it was manually)
[19:57] <rick_> i used terminal for  man apt get but i dont know what to do next
[19:57] <kapz> qin: ubottu u human or a bot?
[19:57] <pangolin> kapz: ubottu is a bot
[19:57] <zykotick9> rick_: what do YOU plan on using the debugger for?  It seems a bit out of your league (no offence)
[19:57] <WoC> oDesk check the logs in /var/log/gdm first, if u use gdm
[19:57] <Gnea> kapz: ubottu is a bot
[19:58] <Zac_o_O> really?
[19:58] <kapz> ok got it! I have unknowingly thanked him many times! :D
[19:58] <Zac_o_O> haha i just did
[19:58] <pangolin> kapz: she
[19:58] <freigeist_> Gnea: i did, it just brings up an vacuous errormessage
[19:58] <rick_> how does what i use it for pertain to getting it  why is everyone always asking to many questions
[19:58] <kapz> ? what?
[19:58] <Gnea> freigeist_: can you take a screenshot and post the error message?
[19:59] <pangolin> kapz: ubottu is a female bot, try /msg ubottu !gender
[19:59] <kapz> lol ok
[19:59] <WoC> heh
[19:59] <WoC> lmao
[19:59] <ts2> rick_: install gdb, that's the general debugger program

[20:00] <manhunter> hello

[20:00] <pangolin> rick_: knowing what you need it for will help us tell you what to install
[20:00] <pangolin> kapz: you did it wrong
[20:00] <ts2> rick_: open the package manager, search for "gdb", install it
[20:00] <zykotick9> !gender
[20:00] <rick_> ill worry about that after the fact ok
[20:01] <WoC> freigeist_ im guessing that means failed to update the partition table
[20:01] <Gnea> freigeist_: "Failed to create the partition table." :)
[20:01] <freigeist_> Gnea: yep
[20:01] <manhunter> ubottu⚡ do you think, female bot is good?
[20:01] <frybye> zykotick9: now i did it manually... not sure what happened last night in the end .. it works fairly well but zattoo.de tv service crashed again and again after 10 mins play and i thought re- install the 290.10 would be the waqy.. hmmm

[20:02] <xubuntu> alguien me podria ayudar
[20:02] <zykotick9> !es | xubuntu
[20:02] <frybye> zykotick9: so how do i get it working again now - with the one from the repo for instance...?

[20:02] <freigeist_> Gnea: in all possible ports
[20:03] <frybye> zykotick9: well - that is also an answer i guess.. but there must be some way to revert to the default grafic driver.. like deleting the xorg.config or..?
[20:04] <zykotick9> frybye: by doing the manual nvidia.com install - i have NO idea.  I expect you're going to have lots of problems...
[20:04] <Gnea> freigeist_: try just using fdisk
[20:04] <frybye> trouble with that is that in the recovery consol only read access...?
[20:04] <sKew^_-> Hi how do i convert a .dmg file to a .iso file, in ubuntu 10.04.3 lucid, acetoneISO gets a error :S

[20:05] <aaa_> how can i change the scrollbar style to be more like in windows?
[20:05] <WoC> oDesk try running; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[20:05] <sKew^_-> zykotick9, read again!...
[20:05] <WoC> oDesk ok ?
[20:06] <Gnea> freigeist_: ah, well forget using anything GUI - just open a terminal and type:  sudo fdisk /dev/sd?
[20:06] <oDesk> WoC: ok i'll run the update
[20:06] <zykotick9> sKew^_-: sorry.  I doubt there is a way to convirt Mac's .dmg to an iso but good luck with that.
[20:06] <sKew^_-> zykotick9, i got a .dmg file i wanna convert to a .iso file, and my host is ubuntu lucid....
[20:06] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I'm having dificulty gettting my bluetooth headset setup. The headset has awesome sound when paired with my phone, but it sounds garbled when I send sound to it from ubuntu. I paired it with the bluetooth tray icon. Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. Any hints?
[20:06] <Gnea> freigeist_: where /dev/sd? is replaced with whatever your device really is
[20:06] <sKew^_-> zykotick9, hmm kk
[20:06] <metap0d> I installed Ubuntu Server 11.10 and am trying to make the machine accessible by a domain name. I installed OpenSSH server and Web already during the install -- is that all I will need?
[20:07] <WoC> oDesk seems to me like you are either missing something or some service is not running
[20:07] <frybye> anybody else have a tip on how to recover after a bad manual nvidia driver install...?
[20:07] <Oer> sKew^_-, please look at  dmg2img in softwarecentre
[20:07] <oDesk> WoC: there is nearly 300MB going to be downloaded, this will take sometime
[20:07] <frybye> zykotick9: we all make mistakes pal....
[20:07] <oDesk> WoC: i'll let you know the status when done
[20:08] <sKew^_-> Oer, hmm i tryed but it dident work got some errors
[20:08] <zykotick9> frybye: you where warned, now you're getting what you deserve
[20:08] <WoC> oDesk dang, ok, i reckon that might take care of your issues, once completed ;)
[20:08] <frybye> zykotick9: if I had seen any other way to progress the warnung would have actually helped...
[20:09] <oDesk> WoC: thank you
[20:09] <aaa_> how can i change the scrollbar style to be more like in windows?
[20:09] <frybye> I would imagine that if you personally think method a is bad you know enough to be able to use method b c or d I dont...
[20:09] <rick_> how do i open package manager and search gdb
[20:09] <Karvis> Hey
[20:10] <oDesk> WoC: the terminal from other laptop droped and i can't login again
[20:10] <Karvis> Can I ask couple questions about Ubuntu?
[20:10] <oDesk> connection refused
[20:10] <zykotick9> !ask | Karvis
[20:10] <pangolin> Karvis: please
[20:10] <oDesk> now it does work
[20:10] <Karvis> Does the games work in Ubuntu like they do in Windows?
[20:10] <pangolin> rick_: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[20:10] <WoC> oDesk using concole ?
[20:11] <frybye> can -somebody- tell me to delet a bad xorg.config on booting...?
[20:11] <WoC> console, even
[20:11] <Karvis> Can I still play games like Counter Strike Source and Minecraft etc?
[20:11] <zykotick9> Karvis: gnu/linux gaming support is not nearly as good as windows.  If you're a gamer, dual-boot
[20:11] <Karvis> What is dual-boot?
[20:11] <freigeist_> Gnea: fdisk displayed this:
[20:11] <freigeist_> The device doesnt have a valid DOS-table, or „Sun“, „SGI“ or „OSF disklabel“
[20:11] <freigeist_> Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x06fe575b.
[20:11] <freigeist_> Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
[20:11] <freigeist_> After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
[20:11] <oDesk> WoC: i relogined using the console yes from other ubuntu laptop
[20:11] <FloodBot1> freigeist_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:11] <bobweaver> rick_:  in your terminal you can type in :  apt-cache search  <name or packge you are looking for >
[20:11] <frybye> assuming this is the right way to recover the system...
[20:11] <zykotick9> Karvis: wine can run many windows games, i'll send the appdb factoid
[20:11] <zykotick9> !appdb | Karvis
[20:11] <Gnea> freigeist_: make sure to use the pastebin site, that's too much
[20:12] <auronandace> frybye: deleting xorg.conf won't magically uninstall the nvidia driver
[20:12] <zykotick9> Karvis: dual-boot is when you have both windows and ubuntu installed at the same time, and choose which to load on bootup
[20:12] <Karvis> What did you mean with "If you're a gamer, dual-boot"
[20:12] <Karvis> oh
[20:12] <Karvis> Nvm
[20:12] <frybye> zykotick9:  do you remember that I had been trying to use the approved method for 2 hours and it was not working at all... before i got into this?
[20:12] <DarkStar1> Hi. If I were setting up a remote ssh account for seamless logins (i.e. no password required) across multiple machines, do all the public keys go in one file or separate authorized_keys files?
[20:12] <WoC> oDesk, ok, is the computer physicaly available to you ?
[20:13] <Zal> DarkStar1, same file, one after another
[20:13] <oDesk> WoC: yes
[20:13] <zykotick9> frybye: please stop addressing me directly - i'm not helping you with your issue.
[20:13] <oDesk> WoC: but when i boot into recovery mode, the network connection isn't available
[20:13] <WoC> oDesk i would switch to console and login locally, directly to that computer
[20:13] <frybye> auronandace: I see - so what do.. i need to do...?
[20:13] <DarkStar1> Zal: Thanks
[20:14] <frybye> zykotick9: thanks... ok
[20:14] <sKew^_-> Oer, sudo chmod 777 dmg2iso.pl use 775 insted of 777?
[20:14] <auronandace> frybye: i've never installed the nvidia driver from their website, i stick to the repo, hang on
[20:14]  * Zal has trouble imagining a case where 777 permissions is appropriate
[20:14] <freigeist_> Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/830531/
[20:15] <sKew^_-> Zal, 775 rigth?
[20:15] <WoC> sKew^_- 755 or 555
[20:15] <Zal> sKew^_-, sorry, I missed the use case, so I don't know what's best
[20:15] <sKew^_-> kk thx Woc
[20:15] <WoC> np sKew^_-
[20:15] <sKew^_-> its a .pl script for dmg2iso
[20:16] <frybye> auronandace: I dont have a lot of background ubuntu knowledge.. I followed instructions again and again yesterday for an established method of installing but none of it actually worked.. that is why out of desperation I tried thisr risky method.. thanks for your concern...
[20:16] <WoC> sKew^_- i noticed, and i reckon you dont plan to change the pl file so 555 is good
[20:16] <Karvis> If I get Ubuntu and WineHQ for it can I play games like I play in Windows? Is it going to lag more or something? No one answers in WineHQ channel.
[20:16] <auronandace> frybye: there is an uninstall section here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[20:16] <frybye> ok thanks...
[20:16] <Zal> sKew^_-, I don't know what dmg2iso does exactly, but my guess would be 744 (only the owner can run it or edit it, everyone else can read it)
[20:16] <bobweaver> sKew^_-:  you can also use letters instead of binary
[20:16] <bobweaver> !permissions >> sKew^_-
[20:17] <sKew^_-> WoC, no iam just gonna try to use the pl
[20:17] <sKew^_-> bobweaver, like -x ?
[20:17] <WoC> sKew^_- thats what i figured
[20:17] <bobweaver> permissions | sKew^_-
[20:17] <WoC> bobweaver although its octal, not binary ;)
[20:17] <bobweaver> !permissions >>  sKew^_-
[20:18] <sKew^_-> bobweaver,  i got no premissions ;)
[20:18] <bobweaver> thansk WoC
[20:18] <bobweaver> looks like I should also read
[20:18] <sKew^_-> !permissions | sKew^_-

[20:19] <frybye> auronandace: had a look at the nvidia manual - but to do the stuff they say I need read+write access to the system - I dont know how to get that at the moment - the recovery consol only gives read access?

[20:24] <auronandace> frybye: i don't know sorry, i'd recommend a fresh install (backup what you need with a livecd) (i was born in essex but lived in wales most my life)
[20:24] <WoC> sKew^_- looks like it may be corrupt, did you ftp it using ascii mode ?
[20:24] <sKew^_-> torrent :/
[20:25] <cinter> Can't open /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf: Permission denied
[20:25] <WoC> sKew^_- and the program said the torrent was complete ?
[20:25] <cinter> any ideas

[20:27] <WoC> sKew^_- ok, if you have the option to verify the file in your torrent prog, i would use it
[20:27] <th_> is it possible to pull a specific file from duplicity backup? with a different PC it was created with?

[20:28] <Gnea> freigeist_: sorry

[20:29] <sKew^_-> WoC, its just to add the torrent and lockate the download to were is lockated and it will "verify" data
[20:29] <Gnea> freigeist_: reading...
[20:29] <acerimmer> BlouBlou: System>Preferences>Preferred applications

[20:29] <xbmc_> hi
[20:29] <freigeist_> Gnea: k
[20:29] <braids> llutz: and how do I define the rest of the space?
[20:30] <llutz> braids: same way, new partition, start, size
[20:30] <Gnea> freigeist_: does it give you a "Command (m for help):" prompt or does it quit?
[20:30] <BlouBlou> acerimmer: I can't find it in Unity
[20:30] <WoC> oDesk if you are able to login directly, you can sudo a remount rw
[20:30] <freigeist_> Gnea: yes, it does
[20:30] <braids> llutz: any way to tell fdisk to just use the rest of the space?
[20:30] <cfhowlett> BlouBlou: sorry, I don't have a unity interface.  That's is the sequence on 10.04
[20:30] <morgoth_> i have a laptop with an intel 965 integrated graphics card (x3100 something). i installed xubuntu 11.04, it works fine, except that i cant use the svideo-out. xrandr only shows LVDS-1 and VGA1.
[20:30] <th_> is it possible to pull a specific file from duplicity backup? with a different PC it was created with?

[20:37] <blob4000> is there an administrator window in ubuntu, similar to win7's Computer Management window? i.e. something to show logs, users and groups, an overview of lots of system stuff?
[20:37] <karthik> hi

[20:38] <freigeist_> Gnea: it didnt quite work out / im not sure, what i just did http://paste.ubuntu.com/830561/

[20:43]  * dtmbmw325i hands sKew^_-  a cd
[20:44] <metap0d> This is a stupid question but I installed ubuntu server on a desktop I don't use so I can become familiar with Linux by connecting to to it remotely with ssh
[20:44] <za3im> office 2010 ita
[20:44] <sKew^_-> dtmbmw325i, cd ~/* ?
[20:44] <metap0d> when I installed server I added OpenSSH server and now I just want to connect with putty on windows : /
[20:44] <metap0d> I try putting my IP in the hostname and hitting connect but it times out
[20:45] <metap0d> have I done something wrong?
[20:45] <ts2> metap0d: try the IP address, rather than the host name
[20:45] <metap0d> This guide mentions setting up keys https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html but I don't mind just doing a simple username/password combo
[20:45] <dtmbmw325i> sKew^_-, ?
[20:45] <metap0d> ts2: I should have said so ... I did use the ip address
[20:45] <crizzy> metap0d: likey not, i suspect it's a network problem. nat?
[20:46] <sKew^_-> dtmbmw325i, you handed a cd ~/ over to me ;P
[20:46] <sKew^_-> ?
[20:46] <oCean> metap0d: are you certain ssh-server is started on the server?
[20:46] <metap0d> oCean: No I am fairly new to this ... but I did have to restart it earlier and it didn't give me an error when it did so
[20:47] <dtmbmw325i> sKew^_-, unfortunately I had to sent it in individual packets. You will need to reassemble it
[20:47] <oCean> metap0d: are you able to ping the ip address from the windows machine?
[20:47] <metap0d> oCean: I'm sorry if this sounds dumb ... but I just accessed it using the internal IP given to me from my router (192.168etc). I would however like to access this machine remotely ... that's what I am trying to do
[20:48] <metap0d> So it worked ok using the ip on the network ... I want to be able to access it through the internet though?
[20:48] <oCean> metap0d: oh ok. Are you using a router or modem? Usually you have to open up a port
[20:49] <metap0d> oCean: I'm a little confused ... it's a modem with a router connected lol. If you mean what issues my IP it is the router
[20:49] <Star_Light> I am using ubuntu 10.10 is there any file in my system... I mean system file which implement the memory stack of a programm?
[20:49] <Star_Light> implements*
[20:50] <oCean> metap0d: ok, but usually you have to setup portforwarding on the router, so that incoming connections there, are forwarded to your server
[20:50] <ts2> metap0d: you need to instruct your router to forward external port 22 to port 22 on the internal IP of your computer. it also helps if you can tell your router to always give a specific IP to the MAC of your computer, so you don't need to keep changing it.
[20:52] <oCean> metap0d: probably ts2 can help you a bit more.. I have to go
[20:52] <metap0d> oCean: Thanks for the help! Much appreciated.
[20:52] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, what router/modem do you use?
[20:53] <oDesk> WoC: the recovery mode not helpful, i can't get the network to work on this mode
[20:53] <metap0d> D-Link DIR-628 Hardware Version: A2
[20:53] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, okay give me one second
[20:53] <metap0d> I found the port forwarding section but I need to find out how to have it work by name as opposed to IP
[20:53] <rick_> ok i typed in terminal  apt-cache search gdb whats the next step
[20:54] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, you will have to use IP in your router
[20:54] <WoC> oDesk did you remount rw ?
[20:54] <oDesk> WoC: yes
[20:54] <za3im> hola
[20:54] <rick_> anybody???
[20:54] <metap0d> dtmbmw325i: Won't that technically open me to the entire web?
[20:54] <WoC> oDesk start the network manually, /etc/init.d/networking start
[20:55] <metap0d> dtmbmw325i: also it says I have to be within the lan subnet
[20:55] <oDesk> WoC: i did, it's just prints "stop/waiting"
[20:55] <WoC> oDesk check if the nic is there; ifconfig -a
[20:55] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, on port 22 yes, but you are going to be open to the web anyway, that is the point you are trying to create isnt it?
[20:56] <metap0d> sorry I had lost connectivity
[20:56] <_Al3x_> hey guys
[20:56] <metap0d> sorry I had lost connectivity
[20:56] <_Al3x_> does anyone have some time for me ?
[20:56] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, did you see my last message?
[20:56] <Ta2man1a> There is about over 1,500+ people in here.
[20:56] <oDesk> WoC: eth0 is there even wlan0 but no IP
[20:57] <metap0d> dtmbmw325i: Probably not unfortunately
[20:57] <Ta2man1a> Wow
[20:57] <_Al3x_> i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on 2 laptops but none of them can connect to wireless
[20:57] <_Al3x_> what shall i do ?
[20:57] <WoC> oDesk try; /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:57] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, you asked about being open to the entire internet, unfortunately that is what you are requesting when you open the port for yourself also
[20:58] <ts2> metap0d: see http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-628/SSH.htm for pictures
[20:58] <WoC> oDesk u are using eth0, righ ?
[20:58] <WoC> s/righ/right/
[20:58] <oDesk> WoC: yes, but still no ip's
[20:58] <WoC> oDesk cable ok ?
[20:59] <cfhowlett> _Al3x_: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-classic/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html
[20:59] <oDesk> WoC: yes it does work on GUI on login screen with this cable
[20:59] <_Al3x_> i'll check this out
[20:59] <Ta2man1a> There are lots of lurkers in this chat room.
[21:00] <WoC> oDesk try this then; ifconfig eth0 down ; /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:00] <metap0d> ts2: I managed to get it working if I specify the internal router IP like you said. I do however run into that issue that the IP could change any time ... I'm looking under the headers for a way to map a specific IP to a hostname that connects but can't find it ... is that a common feature on most routers?
[21:01] <ts2> metap0d: unfortunately, it's not that common
[21:01] <oDesk> WoC: yet no ip, i'd give it static ip
[21:01] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, you will need to set up dhcp reservation. Should be in the setup tab
[21:02] <metap0d> dtmbmw325i: Oh snap it exists : O
[21:02] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, if you want to access your computer via a hostname rather than IP you need a dyndns account
[21:02] <dtmbmw325i> across the internet that is
[21:06] <oDesk> WoC: there was no configuration for dhcp on eth0 in /etc/networking/interfaces, i set this and now it has ip
[21:06] <oDesk> WoC: now i'll dist-upgrade
[21:07] <scott__> bobweaver sorted my wireless problem edited my modules file /etc/modules thx for you hlp

[21:12] <willwork4foo> So I have a question that Google can't answer for me this evening..... In Nautilus, when I go to Browse the network, I see all my SMB, AFP, FTP and NFS servers on the network that are announcing by Zeroconf. Which is lovely. However, I have no idea which icon is the SMB server icon, which is the AFP icon, which is the FTP icon, etc. Any ideas how I can set something up to easily differentiate?
[21:12] <cfhowlett> CharminTheMoose: https://gericom.wordpress.com/2010/10/07/digital-clock-screen-savers-for-xscreensaver-appeared/
[21:13] <metap0d> ts2: , dtmbmw325i: You guys are awesome! :D
[21:14] <metap0d> I won't lie I didnt expect to have a fully functioning server in less than 2 hours
[21:14] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, did you get a dyndns account?
[21:14] <metap0d> dtmbmw325i: I'm doing that now
[21:15] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, the best thing to do is install a client for dyndns to automatically update your external IP on the dyndns servers
[21:15] <dtmbmw325i> metap0d, your router might have that option also

[21:21] <SeLEct> Lo lads, I was thinking of doing a full system disk encryption for my ubuntu OS. I usally used truecrypt on windows for this. But it doesn't seem as if this is possible with truecrypt on ubuntu. Wanted to ask you lads what i can do.
[21:21] <herodude> shell scripts of which rc. directory executed after login
[21:22] <dtmbmw325i> !encrypt
[21:22] <cfhowlett> SeLEct: ecryptfs https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/ecryptfs.html
[21:22] <SeLEct> Btw will it work with dualboot?
[21:22] <SeLEct> I also got win7 installed
[21:23] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, I would assume it wouldn't matter. You should only be encrypting partitions
[21:24] <herodude> help........!
[21:24] <SeLEct> hmm ok. I'm assuming ecryptfs is secure?
[21:25] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, that I can't say as Ive never used it
[21:25] <SeLEct> One last question. How can i see how ubuntu has installed itself? How many partitions it's created etc, as it did all that auto.
[21:26] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, are you in unity?
[21:26] <SeLEct> I have the latest one yeah. 11.10
[21:26] <herodude> shell scripts of which rc. directory executed after login
[21:26] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, open unity dash and type gparted and hit enter
[21:27] <SeLEct> i get nothing
[21:27] <wrektjet> hey so i know in my older install to get different desktop backgrounds (which help keep me oriented) i could do so if i stopped writing the desktop from the default. is tehre a way to do that in unity?
[21:27] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, you may need to install it from software center
[21:29] <SeLEct> Thanks m8. And i'll see if i can find some information on ecryptfs. It's a shame that full disk encryption doesn't seem to work.
[21:29] <Slart> dtmbmw325i, SeLEct: the "disk utility" app shows partitions as well
[21:29] <WoC> When i put a "hold" on a number of packages, they shouldnt be listed as "The following packages have been kept back" during dist-upgrade, should they ?
[21:30] <dtmbmw325i> Slart, that is true I just like how gparted does it better. Personal preference I guess
[21:30] <fabiobik> hi guys im using 10.04 LTS
[21:30] <SeLEct> btw gparted only shows my windows partitions lol
[21:30] <yoritomo> salut à tous
[21:31] <cfhowlett> !fr|yoritomo
[21:31] <Slart> dtmbmw325i: I agree.. I also use gparted out of preference.. but disk utility is installed by default, I think
[21:31] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, did you encrypt the linux already?
[21:31] <dtmbmw325i> partition*
[21:31] <cfhowlett> !ask|fabiobik
[21:31] <SeLEct> No lol.
[21:31] <SeLEct> And it's missing 1 of my other drives also
[21:31] <fabiobik> hi guys im using 10.04 LTS and trying to run Zend Studio
[21:31] <fabiobik> but gives this error

[21:31] <fabiobik> Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
[21:32] <fabiobik> does anyone know how to solve it?
[21:32] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, at the top right you can switch to other drives. There is a dropdown menu
[21:32] <SeLEct> LMFAO, soz m8
[21:32] <cfhowlett> fabiobik: wild a** guess, but I'd say you're running 32 bit but installed zend 64 bit
[21:33] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, do you see the linux partitions now?
[21:33] <fabiobik> cfhowlett, ? my version is 64
[21:33] <SeLEct> Yeah, Well seems like it has created. swap, extended(?) and / (most storage used here.   So i have to encrypt the entire / i guess.
[21:33] <fabiobik> im using untuntu 10.04 x64
[21:34] <cfhowlett> fabiobik: as I said, a wild**s guess.   Try here: http://forums.zend.com/viewforum.php?f=48
[21:34] <Slart> fabiobik: can you run "uname -a" in a terminal and tell us what it says
[21:34] <fabiobik> Slart, sure
[21:34] <dtmbmw325i> SeLEct, / is the filesystem directory and swap is extra memory space on the harddrive like a pagefile
[21:34] <fabiobik> Linux fabio-laptop 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:12:07 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[21:35] <WoC> fabiobik and your Zend studio is the 64 bit version too ?
[21:35] <SeLEct> Yeah i know m8. i just hope i can boot after encrypting the hole / partition.
[21:35] <SeLEct> We'll see

[21:35] <fabiobik> Woc i guess so
[21:36] <Slart> fabiobik: looks like 64 bit to me.. nothing in the forums about this error?
[21:36] <SeLEct> thanks haha and thanks for your help bro

[21:37] <WoC> fabiobik i would try toverify that, a 32 bit app woudlnt be able to make use of 64 bit plugins
[21:37] <Slart> fabiobik: I meant your ubuntu distro seems to be 64 bits.. and I was wondering if you've checked the zend studio-forums?
[21:38] <Trfsrfr> how do i check alsamixer?
[21:38] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: open a terminal and type alsamixer
[21:39] <Slart> fabiobik: did you install the 64 bit version of zend studio? I'm guessing this error would pop up if a 32bit app is trying to use a 64bit library
[21:39] <FabioFlinstone> can i have some help plz? ubuntu keeps giving me stupid errors.

[21:40] <FabioFlinstone> and it asks for a password. but i don't have one. so it won't let me do anything.
[21:40] <fabiobik> Slart, you right my bad :x
[21:40] <ben__> hey everyone. I have a quick couple of questions. First off, is there a sudo apt-get for Puppy Linux? Also, if there is and I download it, is there a way I can uninstall the 2 distros I have now? (Ubuntu and Xubuntu)
[21:41] <Slart> FabioFlinstone: try getting a screenshot of the window you're describing
[21:41] <FabioFlinstone> slart screenshot?
[21:41] <Bsims> FabioFlinstone: it needs root and doesn't prompt you to enter it?
[21:41] <FabioFlinstone> Slart, OH. picture. okay, one sec.
[21:41] <cfhowlett> ben__: puppy isn't supported in this channel.
[21:42] <penguinman1337> ben__, puppy is its own distro, not a different de for buntu.
[21:42] <xXthe_red_spyXx> hi
[21:42] <Slart> ben__: I think you'll have to install puppylinux from scratch.. like you probably did with ubuntu.. I don't think you can do it from "inside" ubuntu
[21:42] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, ive got alsamixer open in terminal, now what am I looking for?
[21:42] <FabioFlinstone> Bsims,  its prompts me, but there is no yess button
[21:42] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: any of them muted? (MM)
[21:42] <FabioFlinstone> Bsims,  and the password never works cus i have none.
[21:42] <ben__> cfhowlett: Then could you answer my other question? Is there a way I can uninstall Ubuntu from Xubuntu?
[21:42] <ben__> -_-
[21:42] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, I dont see anything that looks muted
[21:43] <oDesk> WoC: actually after upgrade to 12.04 i still can't login
[21:43] <Flannel> !purxfce | ben__
[21:43] <FabioFlinstone> how do i paste the picture into xchat?
[21:43] <cfhowlett> ben__: so you want xubuntu only???
[21:43] <Flannel> !purexfce | ben__
[21:43] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: can you post a screenshot?
[21:43] <WoC> oDesk re-check the logs
[21:43] <ben__> cfhowlett: Yep
[21:43] <cfhowlett> !purexfce|ben_
[21:43] <Slart> FabioFlinstone: try googling for "pastebin image", I can't remember what it's called
[21:44] <auronandace> !screenshot | FabioFlinstone
[21:44] <Bsims> FabioFlinstone: just hit enter after enterint it
[21:44] <FabioFlinstone> is it okay if i use bing instead?
[21:44] <zykotick9> !paste
[21:44] <FabioFlinstone> okay
[21:44] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, I could if I knew how
[21:44] <Slart> FabioFlinstone: use whatever search engine you want =)
[21:44] <auronandace> !screenshot | Trfsrfr
[21:45] <Bsims> FabioFlinstone: worst case kdesudo program or gksudo program
[21:45] <ben__> how do I get rid of Ubuntu? I don't want to have to go through the whole installation and uninstalling process again. Trust me, I've done it 7 times.
[21:45] <auronandace> ben__: delete the partitions (make sure you really want to get rid of it)
[21:45] <Bsims> ben__: native install or via wubi?
[21:46] <Flannel> ben__: Follow the instructions here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce

[21:46] <Zirox> Hello, Is it possible to shrink a partition? I have swap and / atm. I want to shrink the / partition so i have some unallocalted space.
[21:47] <Bsims> Zirox: use gparted
[21:47] <cfhowlett> !gparted|zirox
[21:47] <ben__> auronandance: Okay, so I installed Ubuntu from a USB so would I click 'Something Else" when it asks me what installation I want and then I delete the partitions and click 'Install'?
[21:47] <Flannel> Zirox: yes, but not while you're using it (so you'll need a live CD of some sort)
[21:47] <Zirox> Flannel. NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
[21:47] <Zirox> Btw i suck at gparted. Is it hard to achieve this?
[21:47] <Zirox> I haven't used linux for 7 years
[21:48] <Flannel> Zirox: Not really.  Dragging sliders nowadays.
[21:48] <Zirox> Flannel hmm kk.
[21:48] <auronandace> ben__: what? if you want to delete ubuntu just use a livecd (partedmagic is what i use) and delete the partitions with gparted
[21:48] <Zirox> Flannel thanks m8. I'll use my thub device.
[21:48] <Zirox> thumb*
[21:48] <Slart> Zirox: make backups before you start resizing stuff.. at least the important stuff
[21:48] <Bsims> ben__: do this sudo parted -l
[21:49] <abys> Can someone name me all the packages i need to set up wireless with wpa pls ?
[21:49] <ubuntu> Can anyone help with instalation here?
[21:49] <Slart> ubuntu: sure.. just ask your question of describe the problem
[21:49] <Bsims> ben__: this will list the existing partitions
[21:49] <Charlie_the_Unic>

[21:49] <Zirox> slart it's a fresh install m8

[21:50] <Slart> Zirox: then resize all you want =)
[21:50] <ben__> So if I install gparted, I can delete Ubuntu partitons? Is there a apt-get command for g parted?
[21:50] <Slart> ben__: sudo apt-get install gparted
[21:50] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, http://imagebin.org/197501
[21:50] <Bodsda> ben__: sudo apt-get install gparted I would imagine
[21:50] <Zirox> Thanks a lot guys. And thanks for using your spare time to help out lost souls like us :P
[21:51] <auronandace> ben__: you can't delete a partition that you are running from (thats why you need to use a livecd with gparted on it)
[21:51] <FabioFlinstone> ugh? now the software center ownt even load!
[21:51] <Bsims> yeah look into unetbootlin for a easy way to shove a boot iso onto a cd
[21:51] <edward_> i need help! i just got ubuntu and im trying to play a cd with my cd-rom but it is nowhere to be found, how do i get it to work?
[21:51] <Bodsda> FabioFlinstone: if you run it from a terminal, do you get any errors?
[21:52] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: wow, something is wrong there if thats all you got
[21:52] <FabioFlinstone> run it from a what?
[21:52] <Bodsda> FabioFlinstone: Terminal - command line
[21:52] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, and I didnt do anything to make it happen, it just up and quit working
[21:52] <FabioFlinstone> I have zero clue where that is.
[21:52] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: did the sound used to work at some point?
[21:53] <Bodsda> FabioFlinstone: in unity bar, use the search to find the terminal
[21:53] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, yes, it worked for a long time, then about 2 weeks ago I upgraded to 11.04; but it did work for 2 weeks, until last night.
[21:54] <FabioFlinstone> okay. got it.... what is it... looks like something off a hacker movie.
[21:54] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: recently installed any ppas?
[21:54] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, apps?
[21:54] <edward_> can somebody help me?
[21:54] <auronandace> !ppa | Trfsrfr
[21:54] <cfhowlett> !ask|edward_
[21:54] <owenll> FabioFlinstone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[21:54] <FabioFlinstone> okay.... now how do i run the software center.
[21:55] <owenll> FabioFlinstone: type in "software-center" and hit enter
[21:55] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, I dont think so. At least I do not remember doing so.
[21:56] <FabioFlinstone> okay, I get this: 2012-02-05 17:53:26,203 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.em - INFO - EM's: 17 15 21
[21:56] <edward_> anyone know how to make ubuntu recognize my cd drive
[21:56] <FabioFlinstone> and it looks like this.... forever. never loads. http://imagebin.org/197504
[21:56] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: recently changed any hardware?
[21:56] <cfhowlett> edward_: does the cd appear at all?
[21:56] <Gentoo64> edward_, it should by default..
[21:56] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, no. havent done anything in months
[21:57] <edward_> no, it doesn't even have the cd drive anywhere. it only recognizes my hard drive
[21:57] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: in that case i have no idea why the sound suddenly stopped working (i've never trusted doing upgrades though, i always fresh install)
[21:57] <FabioFlinstone> owenll, any ideas...
[21:58] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, yeah, i held off for a longt time becuase I had these problems last time I upgraded. Now what?
[21:58] <freigeist_> hi, i cant open Brasero on 11.10, any other option burning an iso on CD?
[21:58] <Bodsda> FabioFlinstone: oohh, pretty white box - done any updates recently?
[21:58] <cfhowlett> freigeist_: do a USB instead???
[21:59] <Bodsda> freigeist_: brasero probably has command line options, but why cant you use the gui?
[21:59] <benqjcevil2010> hi
[21:59] <cfhowlett> benqjcevil2010: greetings
[21:59] <owenll> FabioFlinstone: quit that process and then do "sudo apt-get upgrade" and then "sudo apt-get update" to see what happens
[21:59] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: backup what you need and fresh install? up to you. or you can see if someone better than me can help (don't worry, i'm rather a novice so someone better shouldn't be hard to find)
[21:59] <benqjcevil2010> someone help me
[21:59] <cfhowlett> !ask|benqjcevil2010
[22:00] <Bodsda> owenll: wrong way round, update then upgrade
[22:00] <Trfsrfr> auronandace, okay, thanks for your help.
[22:00] <owenll> FabioFlinstone: sorry other way round - tired
[22:00] <auronandace> Trfsrfr: no worries :)
[22:00] <freigeist_> Bodsda: it just doesnt respond on clicking at the unity-icon
[22:01] <owenll> Bodsda: :-[
[22:01] <Bodsda> freigeist_: what happes if you launch it from a terminal?
[22:01] <FabioFlinstone> ownell uh... how.
[22:01] <benqjcevil2010> whi the effects of compiz dont work in my pc
[22:01] <edward_> cfhowlett, no it doesnt even show my cd drive anywhere on the computer.
[22:01] <cfhowlett> benqjcevil2010: your gpu might not be able to handle it...
[22:02] <cfhowlett> edward_: single boot of ubuntu or dual?  If dual, does the cdrom show up?
[22:02] <owenll> FabioFlinstone: terminal "sudo apt-get update"
[22:02] <benqjcevil2010> i have install some extention or what
[22:02] <fabiobik> i have 30 zip files
[22:02] <FabioFlinstone> owenll, oh and then sudo apt-get upgrade same way :P
[22:02] <owenll> yeah
[22:02] <fabiobik> and i want to extract on one folder only
[22:02] <fabiobik> its possible?
[22:02] <FabioFlinstone> i can't get past "password:"
[22:03] <oDesk> WoC: there ?
[22:03] <FabioFlinstone> i have no password... this was actually my orginal problem.
[22:03] <cfhowlett> fabiobik: yes.  open the zip, highlight the file and extract
[22:03] <Bodsda> FabioFlinstone: just hit enter then
[22:03] <owenll> password you used when setting up ubuntu
[22:03] <FICK> dich
[22:03] <FabioFlinstone> it says its not rgiht
[22:03] <owenll> FabioFlinstone:
[22:03] <FabioFlinstone> right*
[22:03] <fabiobik> cfhowlett, i want all zips
[22:03] <fabiobik> all zips in one folder
[22:03] <FICK> dich, Muhahahaha
[22:03] <Bodsda> !ops | FICK
[22:04] <Cpudan80> hardly an emergency ...
[22:04] <cfhowlett> fabiobik: my mistake.  select all zips, right click and compress should do it.
[22:04] <FICK> Dich, Huhahahaha
[22:04] <Myrtti> FICK: stop it.
[22:05] <FICK> Dich, What? ;D
[22:05] <Markus__> linux or ubuntu?
[22:05] <Bodsda> Markus__: linux
[22:05] <Myrtti> FICK: do you have a Ubuntu support question or issue you need help with?
[22:06] <freigeist_> Bodsda: i am ashamed to aks, but how do i launch it from the terminal 'brasero' doesnt seem to be an comand :)
[22:06] <benqjcevil2010> haw install compiz in my pc
[22:06] <benqjcevil2010> how
[22:06] <cfhowlett> !compiz|benqjcevil2010
[22:07] <Bodsda> freigeist_: it should be, if its not working, then it must not be installed. Try   'sudo apt-get install brasero -y && brasero'
[22:07] <Markus__> how do how do you troll an irc channel?
[22:07] <fabiobik> cfhowlett, i think you dont understand what i want
[22:07] <fabiobik> i dont want to compress
[22:07] <pangolin> Markus__: trooling is bad and not ubuntu related, btw you just did.
[22:07] <benqjcevil2010> thaks #ubottu
[22:07] <fabiobik> its to extract
[22:07] <fabiobik> but when i extract creates a folder to each zip
[22:08] <Bodsda> Markus__: keep doing what your doing?
[22:08] <fabiobik> but what i want is to create 1 folder only
[22:08] <Vexiant> When going to "mywebsite.com" it downloads the php sourcecode and when going to "mywebsite.com/index.php"
[22:08] <Bodsda> fabiobik: are these 30 zip files all part of 1 zip file or 30 random individual zip files?
[22:08] <Markus__> :)
[22:08] <Bodsda> Vexiant: locally hosted? Try restarting apache and clearing firefox cache
[22:08] <fabiobik> Bodsda, its all part of 1 zip
[22:09] <Markus__> how do you register a channel?
[22:09] <luca_> this error!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/830671/
[22:09] <LjL> Markus__: ask #freenode
[22:09] <Bodsda> fabiobik: just run unzip on the first one, it will work correctly
[22:09] <pangolin> Markus__: ask in #freenode
[22:09] <fabiobik> Bodsda, but dont have the extension like .part1, part2
[22:09] <Bodsda> ah.
[22:09] <Markus__> no
[22:10] <Bodsda> fabiobik: try it and hope, or add the correct part extensions (in the right order!)

[22:14] <core> I tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start' but that didn't seem to help...
[22:14] <Bodsda> core: It might be running from /etc/init.d/ - see if theres anything in there
[22:14] <Bodsda> hex20dec: is it a locally hosted site?

[22:27] <stretch> anyone know why an nvidia twiwnview setup which has worked fine for years would break today, with one of the two flat screens being detected as a CRT?
[22:29] <robertzaccour> I won't be home for the super bowl, and I don't have cable, but I realize it will be broadcasted on nbcsports.com but the problem is I don't have windows. Is there any other sites broadcasting the super bowl in good quality that a person such as myself running Linux can stream it online?
[22:30] <pangolin> robertzaccour: how is that in any way ubuntu related?
[22:30] <Mike9863> I'm unable to compile or execute a java file even though I believe I have all the packages required to do so. I have openjdk-6-jdk, openjdk-6-jre, openjdk-6-jre-lib, openjdk-6-jre-headless
[22:30] <pangolin> hate to say this, but find it using google.
[22:30] <Davide_G> my friend luca_ have a problem with timidity-daemon http://paste.ubuntu.com/830671/
[22:31] <robertzaccour> pangolin: I'm wanting access it online using Ubuntu? therefore it is Ubuntu related
[22:31] <robertzaccour> nice try chat cop
[22:31] <Mike9863> robertzaccour: NBC is a broadcast station, you don't need cable.
[22:31] <ikonia> robertzaccour: we provide technical support, not a directory service for TV channels.
[22:31] <pangolin> robertzaccour: it isn't. you need help finding a website, not suing the website. we don't help with that sort of thing.

[22:32] <indio> Hi. How do I enable framebuffer consoles instead of TTY?
[22:32] <robertzaccour> Mike9863: can't view it with moonlight, keeps not connecting and erroring out
[22:32] <pangolin> robertzaccour: also change your attitude citizen
[22:32] <stretch> I get so tired of this crap
[22:32] <ikonia> stretch: what's up, what's the problem /
[22:32] <robertzaccour> ikonia: I'm asking for support to view the game using UBUNTU. very much topic related
[22:33] <stretch> twinview worked fine for years, then suddenly X thinks one of my two identical DFPs is a CRT
[22:33] <ikonia> robertzaccour: no, it's not
[22:33] <robertzaccour> pangolin: Its not a website I need help with, its UBUNTU compatibility for viewing. totally related
[22:33] <ikonia> stretch: are you sure, it's quite normal for twinview to see a second monitor as a CRT (just depends on its EDID info)
[22:34] <Mike9863> robertzaccour: If you want to try to get it to work with Moonlight then ask their IRC channel. I wasn't suggesting you use it, however. You do not need cable to access broadcast channels on your television. You can buy a coaxial cable and have access to broadcast channels in HD.
[22:34] <stretch> well, whatever the issue is it's not expanding my desktop anymore
[22:34] <ikonia> robertzaccour: ubuntu is compatible with any website that has non-propitary plugins
[22:34] <ikonia> stretch: had a look in the xorg log ?

[22:35] <stretch> of course Synaptic doesn't give me any dates
[22:36] <Mike9863> robertzaccour: Sorry I meant antenna, not coaxial cable. For more information read this: http://tv.about.com/od/hdtv/a/hdantenna.htm
[22:36] <ikonia> stretch: ok, not the best suggestion I'll ever make, but move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to .old or something like that and use nvidia-settings to create a new one, see how it works
[22:36] <robertzaccour> Mike9863: won't be able to do that here but thanks anyhow
[22:36] <stretch> ikonia: yeah, been trying different things for the last half hour
[22:36] <robertzaccour> Mike9863: moonlight has a channel on irc?
[22:37] <stretch> I get so tired of random updates breaking things that used to work fine and no one had a need to mess with
[22:37] <Mike9863> robertzaccour: I don't know. I'm sure they have some sort of support, see if you can find it.
[22:37] <stretch> thanks for the help anyway
[22:37] <GBGames> So I recently updated from 10.04 to 11.10 on a Dell Precision M6600. I can't seem to get any 3D graphics programs to work, though, which makes me think that the only reason why Unity seems to look nice is that my CPU/RAM specs are making up for it.
[22:37] <marczxc> i'm agree
[22:37] <indio> Hi. How do I enable framebuffer consoles instead of TTY?
[22:37] <ikonia> stretch: the nvidia and ati cards are closed source, I appreciate how frustrating it can be when updates break them
[22:38] <ikonia> GBGames: unity won't run without 3d support on the card, so it's not your ram / cpu making up for it
[22:38] <marczxc> :q
[22:38] <Dweezahr> ikonia, unity is made for 3d
[22:38] <GBGames> ikonia: Not even Unity 2d?
[22:38] <ikonia> GBGames: your ram/cpu can't compensate like that
[22:38] <Dweezahr> unity3d.com
[22:38] <ikonia> GBGames: that would be 2d
[22:38] <antnash> Hi guys. I'm having issues getting windows to access the samba shares on my ubuntu box. All it says is access denied if I try allowing specified users (and giving the correct unames/passes), or allow everybody. Can anyone shed any light on why?
[22:38] <ikonia> Dweezahr: I know it's made for 3d, that's what I've just said
[22:38] <Dweezahr> ikonia, they should give it a proper name someday, to avoid all confusion
[22:39] <GBGames> I'm not talking about Unity3D, I'm talking about Ubuntu Unity.
[22:39] <ikonia> Dweezahr: there is no confusion
[22:39] <ikonia> GBGames: that is 3d
[22:39] <Mike9863>  I'm unable to compile or execute a java file even though I believe I have all the packages required to do so. I have openjdk-6-jdk, openjdk-6-jre, openjdk-6-jre-lib, openjdk-6-jre-headless and yet it's not working. I am on Ubuntu 11.10
[22:39] <ikonia> Mike9863: define not working
[22:39] <GBGames> ikonia: Ok, so if Unity wouldn't run without 3D graphics, then something else is preventing me from running 3D applications.
[22:40] <ikonia> but that should be quite obvious
[22:40] <Mike9863> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/2ba4U2kd
[22:40] <ikonia> GBGames: either that or you are using unity 2d
[22:40] <ikonia> (in terms of visual differences)
[22:40] <ikonia> Mike9863: you don't have a java compiler installed or in your path
[22:40] <opacmate> hi
[22:41] <GBGames> ikonia: How can I test that it is using 3D correctly? glxinfo/glxgears won't detect GLX or anything, and Ubuntu says that my Nvidia drivers are the proprietary, hardware-accelerated ones.
[22:41] <cfhowlett> opacmate: greetings
[22:41] <ikonia> GBGames: first question - has this ever worked ?
[22:42] <GBGames> ikonia: You use "this" and "that" and it is hard to know what you are specifically referring to. Has what ever worked?
[22:42] <ikonia> GBGames: unity 3d
[22:43] <GBGames> ikonia: Well, as far as I know, I am logged into it. I have no idea if it is "not working" since it runs and I'm not aware of anything that it should do that makes me say "Ah, yes, there's visual proof" since I just installed 11.10 after using 10.04 for years on a different machine.
[22:43] <ikonia> GBGames: ok, if you run glxgears, does it run accelerated ?
[22:44] <opacmate> are there some many french server or channel ?
[22:44] <cfhowlett> !fr|opacmate
[22:44] <ikonia> opacmate: #ubuntu-fr
[22:44] <GBGames> glxgears says: "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"
[22:44] <GBGames> "Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual"
[22:44] <ikonia> GBGames: ok, what video card do you have ?
[22:44] <antnash> Anyone? Anyone able to help someone failing horribly with samba shared?

[22:45] <GBGames_> Ok.

[22:47] <GBGames_> Yes, it shows "This driver is activated and currently in use"
[22:47] <ikonia> GBGames: ok, do you have a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[22:48] <Oer> GBGames, is it optimus ?
[22:48] <GBGames_> ikonia: Yes, although it has almost nothing in it.
[22:48] <ikonia> GBGames_: does it have a line that says "Driver "nvidia" "
[22:48] <ikonia> Oer: my next question, hopefully not
[22:48] <Oer> i am afraid it is ..
[22:48] <GBGames_> Oer: It's an NVIDIA Quadro 3000M.
[22:48] <GBGames_> ikonia: No, it doesn't.
[22:49] <ikonia> I'm not up on the nvidia models
[22:49] <ikonia> GBGames_: ok, that's probably why it's not
[22:49] <ikonia> GBGames_: did you run "nvidia-settings" to create an xorg.conf file ?
[22:49] <GBGames_> ikonia: No.
[22:49] <maricela> I guess I did smth wrong
[22:49] <maricela> now it worked
[22:49] <ikonia> GBGames_: that would be the first place to start then, launch it with gksudo nvidia-settings
[22:49] <alex__> hey guys
[22:50] <alex__> can anyone help me with a wireless problem in ubuntu 11.04?
[22:50] <GBGames_> The NVIDIA X Server Settings window comes up, and a message says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
[22:50] <timon> Q: can anyone guide me trough install ATI drivers via USB boot chroot?
[22:50] <ikonia> Oer: do you know for certain if this is an optimus card ?
[22:51] <Oer> i cannot find it, spoke too soon.
[22:51] <ikonia> Oer: no, I can't find it either, but it doens't appear to be behaving like a non-optimus card
[22:52] <ikonia> GBGames_: please do "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" do you get any output (use a pastebin please)
[22:52] <GBGames_> It's one line.
[22:52] <GBGames_> nvidia              11713772  0
[22:52] <Oer> ikonia my mistake, i got triggerd by the 3000 in "optimus nvidia gt 525m intell hd 3000"
[22:52] <ikonia> Oer: ok, so it doesn't look like it is
[22:53] <ikonia> GBGames_: when you do "gksudo nvidia-settings" does the gui allow you to configure the card ?
[22:54] <GBGames_> Well, I get that error I mentioned about needing to run nvidia-xconfig as root, but once I close it, I can check and uncheck some nvidia-settings configuration options, like "Enable ToolTips" or "Display Status Bar"
[22:55] <GBGames_> There are three buttons: "Save Current Configuration", "Help", and "Quit"
[22:55] <ikonia> GBGames_: when you save you should be able to save it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:55] <ikonia> GBGames_: then it should have the line that says Driver "nvidia"
[22:56] <GBGames_> Ok, no. Let me paste the resulting file.
[22:57] <GBGames_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/830728/
[22:58] <ikonia> GBGames_: that doesn't look good
[22:58] <StephenHawking> Hey guys, experienced user here.  I'm running 9.10, I DONT wanna hear "upgrade, its so old" etc.  I'm sticking with 9.10 on this box because certain software just wont work otherwise, among other issues.
[22:58] <GBGames_> ikonia: Right, but I never did run the nvidia-xconfig command.
[22:59] <repozitor1> hello every body
[22:59] <GBGames_> ikonia: Any reason not to follow the suggestion it gave me?
[22:59] <StephenHawking> My issue though, is I have a broadcom chipset that normally uses the b43 chipset, sometimes the hardware switch can be wonky, and will require a reboot to get working
[22:59] <ikonia> GBGames_: that shouldn't matter, but if you want to try it, try it
[22:59] <GBGames_> ikonia: Ok.
[23:00] <StephenHawking> So I plugged in my GNexus android and did a usb tehter which works, i can surf the web.  But when i run apt-get update i get tons of errors
[23:00] <repozitor1> i have a USB floppy disk, and i connected it to my ubuntu, and now i don’t see any new ITEM, with floppy name
[23:00] <repozitor1> how to connect it?
[23:00] <StephenHawking> Like it can't connect to the server
[23:00] <StephenHawking> Even when I uncomment other repos
[23:00] <Slart> StephenHawking: you do know that the repos that came with the install doesn't exist any more.. or rather.. they've moved
[23:01] <StephenHawking> It appears the b43 driver is installed though, cause networkmanager says "disconnected" rather than "missing firmware"
[23:01] <repozitor1> and another question is, with wich cmd i’m able to see list of name of all installed pakages?
[23:01] <StephenHawking> Slart: of great, thats stupid, but fine.  How can i get a listf othe current repos address?
[23:01] <StephenHawking> So I can continue to use 9.10
[23:02] <StephenHawking> And no I DO NOT want to upgrade
[23:02] <Slart> StephenHawking: hang on.. it's something like archives.blalablabla
[23:02] <ikonia> StephenHawking: you'll find the 9.10 repos are not available on the standard URL,
[23:02] <ikonia> StephenHawking: as it's EOL they will have been moved to the oldreleases server
[23:02] <StephenHawking> ikonia: thats obvious
[23:02] <StephenHawking> we've already gotten that far
[23:02] <ikonia> StephenHawking: have you updated your sources.list to look at the oldreleases server
[23:02] <Slart> StephenHawking: ah.. that's it.. oldreleases..
[23:03] <wessel> Can I make ubuntu revive from sleep mode by a mouse click?
[23:03] <Flannel> StephenHawking: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ but again, it's EOL, you're at risk, not supported, yadda yadda.
[23:03] <wessel> Now I have to press the power button.
[23:03] <ikonia> fair enough then, I'll leave it you as you clearly know the problem and how to fix it
[23:03] <StephenHawking> thanks
[23:03] <StephenHawking> Flannel: it cant be any worse than running Arch using the testing repo for the past 6+ years
[23:04] <Flannel> StephenHawking: I'm not familiar with Arch, but the problem is security vulnerabilities that aren't patched, not necessarily general 'bugs'
[23:05] <StephenHawking> Flannel: that relaly isnt a problem to me, and i said earlier, 9.10 is the only one that will work with a certain app i need
[23:05] <GBGames> Ok, after running nvidia-xconfig and logging out, it didn't bring back a GUI. There's some errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:05] <StephenHawking> So replacing most of the url with that old-releases url SHOULD work?
[23:05] <StephenHawking> Or could comeone give me an example?
[23:05] <StephenHawking> Because some work, some dont
[23:06] <mx_599> hi, can anyone help me with my lubuntu install?
[23:06] <StephenHawking> nvm, i found plenty of wbesites addressing the problem
[23:06] <StephenHawking> I broke my number one rule!
[23:06] <StephenHawking> Aleways google before aksing in #ubuntu
[23:06] <Flannel> StephenHawking: archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu (and security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) with old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[23:06] <StephenHawking> lol
[23:07] <GBGames> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/830739/ xorg.conf at top, Xorg.0.log below it.
[23:07] <StephenHawking> Flannel: i got it
[23:07] <StephenHawking> Flannel: if others come in asking the same question, link to this, http://aacable.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/howto-solve-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala-apt-get-not-updating-error/
[23:08] <GBGames> ikonia: I notice that the Screen section doesn't list any resolutions.
[23:12] <mx_599> hi, can anyone help me with my lubuntu install?
[23:13] <bobweaver> mx_599:  dont know if I can help but what is going on ?
[23:15] <StephenHawking> hmm
[23:15] <StephenHawking> no more backports apparently
[23:15] <StephenHawking> im trying different combos with this 9,10 sources.list
[23:16] <StephenHawking> i wonder if there are other servers than these old release ones, for more bandwidth
[23:16] <StephenHawking> i got a pretty decent pipe
[23:16] <wessel> My sound is not working after I revive my computer from sleep mode
[23:16] <wessel> any way to restart the sound driver?
[23:17] <Bodsda> wessel: you could try - pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start
[23:17] <GBGames> ikonia: I'll have to come back to this later. I have to run. Thanks for your help so far!
[23:19] <_Ryth> If top is not displaying my correct ammount of ram, how can i find out how much ram my server has?
[23:19] <_Ryth> I think it differs from what I have paid for.
[23:19] <Bodsda> _Ryth: cat /proc/meminfo
[23:20] <_Ryth> Bodsda, thanks.
[23:20] <Bodsda> Your welcome
[23:20] <StephenHawking> Could someone point out which line is wrong?
[23:20] <Bodsda> StephenHawking: in what?

[23:20] <StephenHawking> everything worked besides that
[23:21] <StephenHawking> Bodsda: look at the pastebin
[23:21] <Bodsda> StephenHawking: can you send the link again please
[23:21] <StephenHawking> And YES I KNOW, its 9.10.  I WANT 9.10, no upgrade advice please
[23:21] <_Ryth> that's the way to ask for help ><
[23:21] <_Ryth> more caps please and also more demanding.
[23:21]  * Bodsda recommends an upgrade :) 
[23:22] <StephenHawking> my bad

[23:22] <StephenHawking> _Ryth: im used to peoples first response in this channel being "ZOMG you are a version old, UPGRADE"
[23:22] <StephenHawking> its annoying
[23:22] <Ariethenor> I am building a duel boot computer, i finally got both operating systems to boot with grub2, but Ubuntu 11.10 64bit is booting into root, (root folder has the house icon) how do i get it to boot to normal user?
[23:22] <StephenHawking> It's bcome a running joke on most of freenode
[23:23] <Oer> StephenHawking, if there are no more updates available, you are on your own. please stop the ranting.
[23:23] <StephenHawking> \
[23:23] <Bodsda> StephenHawking: thats weird, I can't see the link it complains about in your sources.lst
[23:24] <StephenHawking> Oer: maygbe from canoonical, but not from fellow users
[23:24] <aBound> Oer, I agree no reason to support a version that hasn't be updated in years.
[23:24] <aBound> been**
[23:24] <StephenHawking> Freenode offers support wherver it can
[23:24] <Bodsda> aBound: Oer, that doesnt mean people can't ask for help
[23:24] <StephenHawking> Hell, i helped a guy fix a slackware 7.1 box the other day in ##linux
[23:25] <aBound> Bodsda, That's just like somebody using Win95 and asking for help it's pointless because the majority doesn't use it.
[23:25] <StephenHawking> Talk about old, it still had a 2.4 series kernel
[23:25] <StephenHawking> But it worked, and did it well, so there was no point in upgrading
[23:25] <_Ryth> I miss slackware, but not the manual dependancy management.
[23:25] <Ariethenor> i use win95 every once in a while
[23:25] <GBGames> ikonia: I just checked something really quickly, found this: http://efreedom.com/Question/6-73057/Access-Nvidia-Settings-Use-HDMI-Quadro-3000m-Oneiric  And I disabled Optimus in the BIOS. glxinfo/gears works as expected now.
[23:25] <fean0r> never change a running system :-)
[23:25] <StephenHawking> _Ryth: arch fixes that
[23:25] <Chucky_Luciano> hi, i am having some issues with compiz...  i just installed the compiz-plugins-extra package from synaptic, and the "extra" features will enable but i cant seem to customize them
[23:25] <aBound> Best to stick with the modern times and move forward. Unless, absolutely necessary.
[23:26] <Bodsda> aBound: thats like someone with an orignal mini not being able to take it to a dealer because the manufacturer stopped making the parts. It's a pathetic argument
[23:26] <StephenHawking> Arch has slackware sys-v init configs, with a sane pkg manager, and a ports system like freebsd if u want it
[23:26] <Ariethenor> speaking of modern times... i have a modern issue
[23:26] <Ariethenor> I am building a duel boot computer, i finally got both operating systems to boot with grub2, but Ubuntu 11.10 64bit is booting into root, (root folder has the house icon) how do i get it to boot to normal user?
[23:26] <mongy> Chucky_Luciano, you have compizconfig-settings-manager?
[23:26] <aBound> Bodsda, Car manufacturing is not the same as operating systems.
[23:26] <Oer> StephenHawking, is this a mistypo ? restritced/binary-i386/Packages line 16
[23:26] <aBound> It's a totally different boat.
[23:26] <Chucky_Luciano> mongy, yes
[23:26] <mongy> Chucky_Luciano, then they are in there
[23:27] <Bodsda> aBound: it was an analogy
[23:27] <aBound> Whereas old cars can be made into replicas operating systems can't.
[23:27] <StephenHawking> Oer: possibly, can you fix it,m and repastebin please.
[23:27] <Oer> restricted
[23:27] <StephenHawking> i have horrid eyesight being legally blind
[23:27] <StephenHawking> Oer: one sec, lemme repaste with no restrictions
[23:27] <janisozaur> how do I change permissions to allow bind() on rfcomm socket without super-user privileges?
[23:27] <Bodsda> aBound: OS's cant be replicas? Whats ubuntu then?
[23:27] <Chucky_Luciano> mongy, they are in there...  but for example, if i enable "show mouse", it wont let me change any of the configurations in there...  i try, but it doesnt change
[23:28] <aBound> Ubuntu uses the Linux Kernel it isn't considered an operating system but a distribution.
[23:28] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: did you launch ccsm as root?
[23:28] <Chucky_Luciano> bodnast, no.  should i do that?
[23:28] <bodnast> idk
[23:28] <bodnast> Should you?
[23:28] <mongy> Chucky_Luciano, no, you should not
[23:28] <Bodsda> aBound: if you really want to get finicky about an analogy, we can go at this all night. Seriously, I have nothing better to do
[23:28] <Chucky_Luciano> bodnast, sorry, i meant Bodsda
[23:28] <bodnast> xD
[23:28] <bodnast> np
[23:28] <aBound> Bodsda, Doesn't bother me none. Even though it's offtopic.
[23:28] <aBound> :P
[23:29] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: yeah, give it a whirl
[23:29]  * Bodsda :)
[23:29] <aBound> Up to you.
[23:29] <aBound> hehe
[23:29] <StephenHawking> Oer: you can edit at the bottom and repaste it, http://pastebin.com/aQ7Mg7Yc
[23:29] <Ariethenor> Anybody know anything about Grub2 and linux booting?
[23:29] <Bodsda> Ariethenor: probably, whats the issue?
[23:29] <StephenHawking> \Just edit, copy it all and repaste i guess, oddly i dont see a repaste buttun like their used to be
[23:29] <Ariethenor> i am duel booting win7 64 and ubuntu 11.10 64
[23:29] <Ariethenor> both work
[23:30] <Ariethenor> but ubuntu boots into root
[23:30] <Oer> http://pastebin.com/AVH4KeGs
[23:30] <StephenHawking> normally i used scrunge, but i cant use apt-get to get common tools...
[23:30] <Chucky_Luciano> that wont mess anything up?
[23:30] <StephenHawking> Oer: thx, i will try it
[23:30] <Bodsda> Ariethenor: can you elaborate a little - what do you mean by 'boots into root' ?
[23:30] <StephenHawking> like i said, im legally blind, so im lik e1inch from the monitor if that
[23:30] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: nope
[23:31] <Ariethenor> root folder has the "house image" home folder should have the "house" image... thats the best i can explain
[23:31] <Ariethenor> all root privilages activated
[23:31] <Chucky_Luciano> no difference as root
[23:31] <Bodsda> Ariethenor: ah, /root not / - your logged in as root, auto login? root probably doesnt have a password and you have no other user accounts - thats my first wil guess
[23:32] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: which extra are you trying to change?
[23:32] <Bodsda> wild**
[23:32] <Ariethenor> i do have a home account that should log in, i have to enter password, but /root is "home"
[23:33] <Chucky_Luciano> Bodsda, i am trying to change show mouse, and animations...  i dont think it is specifically the extras now because i cant change animations either
[23:33] <Ariethenor> i have an identical working setup on my laptop
[23:33] <aBound> Ariethenor, Can't create another account?
[23:33] <Bodsda> Ariethenor: open a terminal and type    whoami    what gets returned?
[23:33] <StephenHawking> Oer: that worked, thank you very much
[23:33] <Oer> StephenHawking, have fun
[23:33] <Ariethenor> will try, have to boot that computer
[23:33] <StephenHawking> Oer: and im pretty sure i included the partner repos, right
[23:33] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: installing now to test
[23:34] <StephenHawking> Oer: im just doing some OSSv4 stuff first, getting rid of alsa.  Being blind, im an audiophile, and OSSv4 sounds way better than alsa, and pulseaudio sounds like a wet papertowel over my speakers
[23:34] <StephenHawking> lol
[23:35] <Oer> StephenHawking, yes you did, but not the src source-code
[23:35] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: are compiz settings actually enabled?
[23:36] <Ariethenor> insanity trying the same thing twice expecting a different result... worked this time
[23:36] <Ariethenor> now the "myusername" folder has the house icon
[23:36] <Chucky_Luciano> Bodsda, yes...  i have been using it for awhile...  i always use the scale plugin for example...  i dont know whats going on right now
[23:36] <Ariethenor> guess it is fixed
[23:36] <StephenHawking> Oer: src makes no difference to me, just slows up the update of the repo dbs imho
[23:36] <StephenHawking> thats why i comment them out
[23:36] <JosephHarrietha> Can anyone explain why this command hangs? wget -O - http://repo.badgb.com/bAdgigabit.key | apt-key add
[23:36] <Chucky_Luciano> Bodsda, i tested the settings in scale, they seem to work fine
[23:37] <ARSM> How do I direct ubuntu to use an active tethered internet connection over USB? I've got clockworkmod tether saying everything is connected, but DNS won't resolve on chrome. I'm thinking I need to direct the OS to use the connection, but I don't know how.
[23:37] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: so you can change some settings?
[23:37] <Chucky_Luciano> but some things dont...  like changing the configs in show mouse
[23:37] <StephenHawking> Oer: now, is there anything i need to to to stop ubuntu from trying to go roughe on me and wanting to dist-upgrade to a newer version?
[23:37] <aBound> JosephHarrietha, Worked flawlessly for me.
[23:37] <holstein> StephenHawking: i usually turn off auto upgrades and the update manager
[23:38] <holstein> then, i control what and when i want to update
[23:38] <Chucky_Luciano> if i enable show mouse, and then try to say change the binding from super+k to super+z, it will still be super+k for the binding
[23:38] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: do you mean you can change them and they have no effect, or you physically cant make the change?
[23:38] <aBound> JosephHarrietha, Ahh I see it says the pipe is broken.
[23:38] <Bodsda> ah
[23:38] <Oer> StephenHawking, after the last update, turn it off like holstein says
[23:38] <Chucky_Luciano> or for any of the configs inside of show mouse, or inside paint fire on the screen, and a few others
[23:38] <JosephHarrietha> aBound, So.... how do I fix it/
[23:38] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: but does ccm say super+k or super+z after your change?
[23:38] <JosephHarrietha> :/*
[23:38] <holstein> StephenHawking: its a good general rule of thumb to read *all* of what is flying by when updates are happening... and read it closely, and ask here if you want *before* you hit any "ok" buttons
[23:39] <Chucky_Luciano> Bodsda, says super+z after i change it, but its still super+k to initiate
[23:39] <aBound> JosephHarrietha, Remove the extra dash in your command and run as sudo.
[23:39] <Chucky_Luciano> same goes for the other stuff
[23:39] <JosephHarrietha> aBound, Its run as root :P Its not meant to be run on ubuntu, its for an iPhone haha.
[23:39] <Chucky_Luciano> Bodsda, i am going to restart to see if anything changes, brb
[23:40] <aBound> JosephHarrietha, Ahh can't help you there bud. Seeing as it's offtopic. lol
[23:40] <aBound> But I noticed there is an extra dash in the command.
[23:41] <Soviet> oi
[23:41] <Soviet> K, so I'm trying to install gnome ppp so I can connect to the internet with ubuntu
[23:41] <Soviet> I'll have to do it offline so I was trying to download the file manually, then install it in ubuntu
[23:42] <Soviet> however there's tons of dependencies.
[23:42] <Bodsda> !enter Soviet
[23:42] <Bodsda> !enter | Soviet
[23:42] <Soviet> How would I be able to place all the .deb files in a folder, and install them with apt-get?
[23:42] <Oer> !offline
[23:42] <JosephHarrietha> aBound, I'm running it on ubuntu now. Thats just its final purpose. Why does wget -O http://repo.badgb.com/bAdgigabit.key | sudo apt-key add give me "gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory" ... can you paste the command you used? I think I misunderstood your instructions.
[23:43] <Bodsda> Soviet: download the package and all dependencies from packages.ubuntu.com and then go to the offline machine and use dpkg to install them
[23:43] <Oer> Soviet, sudo dpkg -i <package>.deb
[23:43] <Soviet> How would I do that? what command?
[23:43] <aljosa> anybody knows if there is package for git-flow  for oneiric somewhere? i've found one in ppa for 12.04 but not for 11.10
[23:43] <Soviet> oh
[23:43] <JosephHarrietha> aBound, Because I'm fairly sure my - was to direct the output to stdout, which would then be piped to the apt-key add.
[23:43] <Soviet> So it will look for all the .deb files it needs in the same folder?
[23:44] <Chucky_Luciano> Bodsda, restart seems to have helped
[23:44] <aBound> sudo wget -O  http://repo.badgb.com/bAdgigabit.key | apt-key add Is what I used.
[23:44] <Chucky_Luciano> dont know what the problem was...
[23:44] <Bodsda> Chucky_Luciano: excellent!
[23:44] <Chucky_Luciano> thanks, tho
[23:44] <Bodsda> aljosa: its in precise' universe repo
[23:44] <aBound> Only thing is I never got the file it seems.
[23:44] <Soviet> If I use sudo dpkg -i <package>.deb will it look for all the dependencies in the same folder?
[23:44] <Bodsda> Soviet: no
[23:45] <JosephHarrietha> aBound, Ahh, I see. Thats not how wget works. I just removed the -O entirely and it works now.
[23:46] <Soviet> Bodsda then...?
[23:46] <aBound> JosephHarrietha, Woot awesome. :P
[23:46] <Bodsda> Soviet: one by one, or you could try wildcarding it, doubt that will work as expected though. AptonCD is your easiest route
[23:47] <aBound> WGET does have a argument for -o from within the man pages.
[23:47] <Soviet> But, if I try to install a package that requires another package, it won't install, right? I would have to spend hours trying to figure out the order which I need to install them.
[23:48] <alex__> hey guys, can anyone help me solving my wireless problem in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[23:48] <scott__> hello?
[23:49] <Fonz> Hi Scott.
[23:49] <Soviet> Can anyone pick up where Bodsda left off?
[23:49] <scott__> anyone know why after i install xubuntu and it updates and i restart all i get is a black screen??
[23:50] <krnekhelesh> Scott, which version of xubuntu are you using?
[23:50] <scott__> umm 10.04
[23:50] <scott__> i was thinking its becouse i have iso's on a drive and its getting confused
[23:50] <holstein> scott__: see if you have an older kernel in your grub list to try booting
[23:51] <Soviet> Can anyone pick up where Bodsda left off?
[23:51] <krnekhelesh> do you get a black screen after you choose the kernel version
[23:51] <krnekhelesh> meaning you don't see a login screen at all?
[23:51] <scott__> sometimes i dont even see the grub
[23:51] <scott__> this is why im going to xubuntu becouse it happend on mint
[23:51] <scott__> 12
[23:52] <scott__> yea
[23:52] <holstein> Soviet: dpkg -i *should* find all the dependancies in the repos (assuming they are there)...
[23:52] <Soviet> holstein that's it though, I don't have an internet connection until I install this
[23:52] <alex__> hey guys can anyone help me too ?
[23:53] <holstein> Soviet: then, bring all you need with you... or temporarily plug a friendly NIC in
[23:53] <Soviet> ...what?
[23:53] <Soviet> I have a dialup internet connection
[23:53] <holstein> Soviet: without internet access, theres not better way to do it.. you'll have to bring all you need with you
[23:53] <Soviet> no other way to connect
[23:53] <holstein> Soviet: do it via dial up then
[23:53] <Soviet> holstein Yeah I'm going to download all the .deb fles
[23:53] <Soviet> I need the package to connect to the internet though ol
[23:53] <Soviet> lol*
[23:54] <holstein> Soviet: that makes me think its a kernel upgrade that is breaking functionalilty for you.. try bootin an older kernel please and report
[23:54] <holstein> Soviet: right, or use another NIC
[23:55] <Soviet> holstein You don't get it... the package is a dialup interface. I don't know of a way to dial my modem unless I install this
[23:55] <Soviet> and what's a nic?
[23:56] <holstein> Soviet: network controller.. the fact is, you'll need to put the packages on the machine somehow.. you'll just have to be creative, or borrow some hardware
[23:56] <Soviet> holstein Yes... I will put the files on the machine.
[23:56] <Soviet> What I'm asking is how to install them.
[23:56] <Soviet> Because the main package has dependencies, and the dependencies have dependencies
[23:56] <Soviet> I'm going to download them all, but I don't know how to properly install them
[23:56] <holstein> Soviet: dpkg -i .. or double click on the .debs or refer to the wiki
[23:57] <Soviet> Fine, but there's another problem.
[23:57] <Soviet> If I try to install one package that has dependencies, it will fail.
[23:57] <Soviet> I will spend all night figuring out the order to install them
[23:57] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware Soviet
[23:57] <Soviet> Don't feel like reading a 1000 page wiki
[23:58] <holstein> Soviet: sudo dpkg -i package1.deb package2.deb ...etc
[23:58] <Soviet> But if the order isn't right.. it will go nuts won't it?
[23:58] <holstein> Soviet: there is not *better* way than temproarily getting to some network...if thats not an option, you'll just take the pacakges over, and install them
[23:59]  * Soviet facepalms.
[23:59] <holstein> Soviet: you can but only pull them over, and use the command, and try it.. i have always made it work :)
[23:59] <Soviet> That's what I'm trying to do lol
[23:59] <holstein> Soviet: right.. so go for it :)
[23:59] <holstein> if you are asking, will you have trouble?.. probable
[23:59] <Soviet> ...but you aren't paying attention to my concern though...
