newbie-bobMailserver question. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I have [relayhost =   smtp.someisp.no] and everything works fine. I have to use this   relayhost since my ISP has closed port 25. My ISP tells me that   if I dont want to use their relayhost I have to configure my   mailserver to use a ssl port like port 465. Then I can remove   the relayhost option. Do anyone know where I do this like which   files to edit and is this possible if I don00:02

VimanIs the use of a Firewall necessary in Ubuntu (like it is in windows xp) or more of an add-on?00:33
cfhowlettViman: "necessary" depends on your POV and paranoia quotient.  *buntu/linux are not CURRENTLY seen as high yield targets by the bad guys00:35

Uluruare there negatives/positives to encrypting the home folder on install (as a new user)?00:36
pragmaticenigmaUluru: Only if you are sharing your machine with other people, or using a laptop that will be out a lot and could easily be stolen00:37
pragmaticenigmaAndrew131: I have a feeling that it's a driver issue at it's core... seems to be out for awhile but I'm not finding any submissions on bug trackers which concerns me00:38
pragmaticenigmaUluru: Positives is that it will keep your stuff private from others should your computer ever be stolen.  It's negatives are if you ever forget your password, you will NEVER get your data back00:39

deli was wondering - is there a way to change what programs are displayed in dash home in unity?00:41
Jimm_trying to install to a 2.5tb but it wont partitoin right ot something, im not sure00:41
chaos_zerohow can i make a directory always have certain permissions even if you add files to it? this is ubuntu server so i need to use terminal.00:42
Gentoo64Jimm_: i think you need to use a gpt partition table00:42
=== braiam_ is now known as braiam
delfor example, it says "browse the web" - and wants me to use firefox.  what if i want to set that to chromium?00:42
cfhowlettGentoo64: due to size?00:42
Gentoo64yea00:42
Jimm_can i do that from the live disk?00:42
Gentoo64i think anything over 1.5 or 2tb needs it00:42
Gentoo64Jimm_: gparted can do it easily00:42
joallardSo basically, solution is... change OS?00:42
elbazei begin to enjoy the spirit of your #ubuntu channel00:42
theunholyWhy am I haveing so much trouble with this bull.00:42
theunholyAll i did was install ssh...and i cant connect to the fing thing00:43
Jimm_so i should try to partition before install, not use the resize option on instal live disk?00:43
Gentoo64Jimm_: to chnage the partition table, itll delete the whole disk00:43
cfhowlettJimm_: that's one way...00:43
Jimm_thats fine, the disk is empty00:44
Gentoo64Jimm_: ok, well the installer should have gparted, go into that00:44
Gentoo64at the top under partitions (i think) there should be an option "create new partition table" or similar, do that and choose gpt00:44
theunholyANYONE?00:45
delcan anyone help on that question?00:45
Jimm_kk. its not possible to install straight to 2.5tb is it?00:45

Gentoo64Jimm_: you mean use the whole 2.5tb as /00:45
Gentoo64?00:45
Jimm_yes00:45
Gentoo64if its 2.5tb you might as well partition it tbh, its huge00:45
urfr332g0del, settings will allow you to set favorite apps, anty browser is okay.00:45
urfr332g0any00:46
damo22Jimm_: its good to separate system from data00:46

Jimm_fair enough00:46
Andrew131lol00:46
delubottu:  that was the real question.  it was how do i switch from firefox being the listed default browser in unity dash home to chromium.00:46
ubottudel: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)00:46
damo22Jimm_: in the event of a catastophe its easier to grab a smaller partition off a disk00:47
urfr332g0joallard, you have some good depression meds you may need them after that analyse. :)00:47
hayshow do I installed the sun jdk in ubuntu00:47
MoleMan_I'm trying to move my root onto an LVM with a liveCD but its giving me errors saying disk full, when its not :/ any ideas how to fix? I think its because the Live CD has magically given itself a total filesystem of 125GB which doesnt match anything I can see...00:47
joallardurfr332g0, think of the thousands!00:47
Jimm_is ext4 best thing to use?00:47
damo22Jimm_: or wipe the system partition to upgrade00:47
Gentoo64Jimm_: yea00:47
cfhowlettJimm_: yes00:47
h00k!java | hays00:48
ubottuhays: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.00:48
joallardThere could be a section where you get to see what you could've bought with that money... car, house, who knows?00:48
delurfr332g0:  okay.  please let me know - how do i change my favorite apps in unity's dash home?00:48

theunholyI installed the damn thing00:49
Vimanfreeroute: general information, really00:49
joallardIt is inconceivable to me that you can't be "just a user" in Ubuntu. You *have* to be a developper/troubleshooter of some sort. Else, you can't get anything done00:49
theunholybut it wont let me putty into it from my windows box00:49
urfr332g0del, I think it is settings not dash home you can get to settings from the logout shutdown dropdown top right of top pab\nel.00:49
Vimanbut I guess I'll just rtfm00:49
urfr332g0panel00:49
damo22theunholy: is it behind a NAT router?00:49
theunholyasks for username, i put it in, asks for password, i put it in and it says access denied00:50
theunholyi have the ports forwarded etc00:50
joallardI've never been so attracted to Macs before using Ubuntu. amazing.00:50
damo22theunholy: maybe its not configured to accept plaintext passwords00:50
theunholyHow do I fix that?00:50
pragmaticenigmatheunholy: what user are you trying to log in as?00:50
theunholythe one im in?00:51
delurfr332g0:  ok, i'm in settings.  what i'm saying is that "dash home" part - can i modify the applications it suggests for me in system settings, then?00:51
theunholynot root00:51
freerouteViman: SSH is awesome, you have ssh which is the client and you have sshd, which is the daemon (running on a server for example), so you got a configuration file in yo homiez directory and you edit it. You edit it goood...00:51
Andrew131theunholy: since your using port forwarding is it at all possible that theres a second ssh server your connecting to?00:51
chaos_zeroi have a web server and i have to -R 777 the website folder every time i add a page or something or clients cant access those pages. How can i make it so everything in the folder is automatically of the correct permission?00:51
damo22theunholy: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config00:51
nicehsim trying to "runas /user:ap someapp" then it says "chroot(2) to directory before execution", anyone know what to do? to make it work?  im root and want to runa program as the "ap" user.00:52
theunholyok damo?00:52
delurfr332g0:  specifically, when i click dock home, it gives me shortcuts.  one of them is to "browse the web" - but it has a firefox icon.  i want to change that to chromium.00:52
theunholyand no im running only one ssh server on it00:52
freerouteViman: also, you can connect remotely so you don't have to walk across the room. When I realized I could do that with my home server I was like... awwww yeah time to grab some popcorn and chill in this seat.00:52
theunholyi have a virtual machine with ubuntu server installed and just installed openssh00:52
muellichaos_zero: well. 777 are never the right permissions. You probably want to add those files as group "www-data". Make sure you are in that group (using gpasswd or smth similar) and then you can do smth like "newgrp www-data" before adding the files.00:52
Andrew131theunholy: Im not saying running only one ssh on the machine is there only one ssh server behind the nat ?00:53
theunholyYes00:53
theunholyShould only be one00:53
joallardokay, why the hell won't they update gtk+ to bugfixed versions?00:53
urfr332g0del, default app usage of spefic things such a s pdf file or media in in the right click properties menu of the app you want to show such as a pdf or a media file. In setting is a favorite default for like which browser to use etc.00:53
damo22theunholy: vms do different types of networking, you can do nat, bridged or private hosting00:53
Vimanfreeroute: sweet!00:53
theunholyi have it bridged with replicate on00:53
freerouteViman: also you can forward ports and stuff, this way it becomes easier to download porn at work and your sysadmin would be like "Welp, looks encrypted. Seems legit!"00:53
damo22theunholy: in that case you are not connecting to the right machine00:54

delurfr332g0:  i'm not quite sure i follow.  for the dock, yes, a right click lets me say let it stick or take it off...00:54
damo22theunholy: since they will share an ip00:54
delurfr332g0:  but for the dock home if i right click, it just opens the app.00:55

chaos_zero muelli: thanks for the reply. i just skimmed man gpasswd and dont quite understand, but disregarding that, it still sounds like you are saying i will have to assign the new files a command every time. I am looking for a way that anything in the folder just works without having to change it every time. For example some people might upload files to it with FTP but then no one can download them until i use the chmod.00:57
Gentoo64Jimm_: not sure why not, you can make primaries00:57

theunholymy internet ip is the same obviously, but that is why i only have ssh running on ubuntu @ 192.168.1.143 and the router forwarding that port to 192.168.1.14300:58
Jimm_not really sure, this is my first time with ubuntu and only ever partitiond with windows before00:58
Olyano in bin00:58
muellichaos_zero: well. several strategies. One would be to have a sticky bit on the folder people are writing to, so that all created files are automatically in the proper group. The other strategy would be to make the user have the www-data group and maybe default to it.00:58
Gentoo64Jimm_: just make it a primary00:58
delurfr332g0:  ok - i got it.  i just changed it in chromium preferences to be the default browser - then it changed it in the dock from firefox to chromium.  that's all i wanted to do.00:58

h00k!fsck | Olya01:30
ubottuOlya: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot01:30
damo22theunholy: i believe putty might be using a different password authentication method than the default ubuntu ssh client does01:30

forbidden404in my buddy's house01:57
escottforbidden404, i think it would be helpful to know if this is webbrowser related or something more low-level. so lets teach you to use telnet to download an http page01:57
pmitrosMy computer has a hard drive that mounts in /media on bootup. I accidentally unmounted it. Is there a way to remount it in the same way as ubuntu mounts it? I know I can mkdir /media/[UUID], mount /dev/sdXX /media/[UUID], but that seems like the wrong way to do it.01:57
pmitrosWith a removable drive, I'd unplug it and plug it back in, but this is a normal, fixed HDD01:58
forbidden404escott, telnet?01:58
Gentoo64pmitros: try just /mount/drive01:58
Gentoo64pmitros: try mount /drive rather01:58
h00kpmitros: you could do sudo mount -a, if it has an entry in fstab01:58
pmitrosIt doesn't have an entry in fstab; it's autodetected by Ubuntu on bootup01:59
pmitrosSo mount /media/[UUID] doesn't help.01:59
escottforbidden404, open a terminal and type "telnet www.google.com 80" then quickly type "GET index.html" and hit enter twice01:59
damo22pmitros: you can find out which partition number it is and mount it manually?01:59
escottforbidden404, it should dump some text out which should end with </BODY></HTML> Connection closed by foreign host.02:00
damo22escott: what about curl02:00
pmitrosdamo: I can. I was just hoping there's a Right Way to do it. I've had the same problem with USB drives, when I unmount them by accident, and I wanted to figure this out once and for all.02:00

metsys23hi there again. firstly thank you all that advise me xubuntu, i am enjoying it very much02:02

metsys23now, i have some questions, as usual of noobs02:03
Gentoo64udisks02:03
escottforbidden404, if you can do that then your internet connection would seem to be working and its likely a web browser issue. you can also use tools like wget or curl to download webpages "curl www.google.com/index.html" which might be easier (you get slightly different results with curl)02:03

I setup a Samba share using a guide and it shares fine to the /srv location but I tried also adding a share to a second hard drive and when I try to access from Windows 7, it says I might not have permissions. Can anyone spare a few minutes to help?02:24
escottkarfir, do you not remember the old password?02:24
wingiemadalin: i have a program that will run and exit .. i want it to rerun everytime it is exited02:24
madalinwingie: thats like hitting your head against the wall :)02:24
BigTaxii require some assistance with a network i can see but cannot connect to. extremely frustrating and troubleshoot doesnt seem to do anything but solve hardware issues.02:24
madalinBigTaxi: errors ?02:25
BigTaxino errors... just wont connect02:25
karfircfhowlett: 1.5TB hdd, I'm trying to find the read speed.  there's 4 gigs of ram and it's a 3ghz core duo processor02:25
BigTaxii can see the network, and as far as i know the card is working fine because the network is being detected02:25
karfirescott: No, I don't remember the old password, it was a few years ago that I set it up.02:25
madalinBigTaxi: what distro/version ?02:25
karfirurfr332g0: Yeah, it's encrypted.02:25
escottkarfir, and you never logged into this system in the intervening period?02:26
urfr332g0karfir, whay does it matter you get in?02:26
BigTaxiubuntu uh....oneiric02:26
karfirurfr332g0: It's not critical, I just want my old music and stuff.02:26
BigTaxi11.1002:26
karfirescott: No, left it in NYC and moved to California.02:26
h00k!encrypted | karfir maybe there's something here that can help02:27
ubottukarfir maybe there's something here that can help: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory02:27
madalinBigTaxi: did you try tail -f /var/log/syslog while trying to connect ? Can you paste your dmesg somewhere and provide me with the link ?02:27
urfr332g0karfir, that you have not listed to in two years, hmm sound nefarious to be honest. :)02:27
urfr332g0listened.02:27

h00kwingie: don't tell someone to do that.02:28
madalinwingie: good you got it:))02:28
BigTaxiits on another computer, which has no internet so getting you exact copy/paste is not a very good option.02:28
madalinwingie: that'll just flood your computer02:28
karfirurfr332g0: Yeah, hopefully the NSA/whoever has someone whose job it is to do the nefarious stuff that isn't looking for help on URC02:28
BigTaxii'm a newb and miserable with the terminal... tell me what to do and what to look for02:28
madalinBigTaxi: lspci | grep Ethernet outputs anything ?02:28
wingieh00k madalin: I won't do that command, i just need to loop something else02:28
karfirescott: It's only as secure as the old login password that wraps it, which is more like 656,100,000,000, but can be attacked statistically02:29
BigTaxihold on... tail -f /var/log/syslog left me without a command prompt (my computer and user name)02:29
Oerkarfir, how did you changed your password, like you said earlier ?02:30
BigTaxiand so no new commands will go through02:30
laogjust find out the cairo dock is a cool thing to play with02:30
FlannelBigTaxi: ctrl-c to end that command (tail is still running)02:30
Dr_willisBigTaxi:  thats what tail -f means with the -f option.. reads the file untill you ctrl-c02:30
forbidden404Guys, how I know if I'm missing some lib?02:30
pmitrosls02:30
Dr_willisforbidden404:  error messages in the terminal when you run an app that needs the lib normally.02:31
karfirOer: Just went in in recovery mode, logged in as root and ran passwd.  It was actually a bad idea, because there are a ton of tools that attack /etc/shadow, so if I had left it unchanged I could use one of those.02:31
madalinBigTaxi: did you typed that in a terminal ? If so, try pressing CTRL+C02:31
BigTaxiok. lspci | grep ethernet and nothing happened02:31
forbidden404Dr_willis: but this time my problem isnt with a app02:31
forbidden404an*02:31
Dr_willisforbidden404:  whats it with then?02:31
madalinBigTaxi: are you grep Ethernet. Exactly like i said it..02:31
forbidden404Dr_willis: Is about javascript not running well02:32
forbidden404my browser is okay02:32
BigTaxii typed it exactly as you said, in the terminal02:32
forbidden404Idk what is the problem02:32
madalinBigTaxi: and NOTHING outputs ?02:32
BigTaxinothing02:32
BigTaxiits wireless though... just in case you didnt know and it matters02:32
madalinBigTaxi: well, that command should output at LEAST one line saying something about Ethernet controller.. If it doesnt..maybe you're using an USB network card ?02:33
BigTaxinah. it's a card in my tower that i've been using for years.02:33

escottwebroasters, find . -iname "*_notes" -delete02:36
madalinBigTaxi: so, doing a tail -f /var/log/syslog states NOTHING ?02:36
BigTaxino, it does. what do you need to know02:37
webroastersok thanks escott02:37
escottwebroasters, obv. run it without -delete first, but it will only delete those files it prints02:37
p4ch0How can I upgrade without lose my gnome-classic desktop? unity really sucks ....02:38
webroastersescott. Right, i did that02:38
dark|angelanyone know anything about these guys? http://toratek.net/vps-plans - it seems that they offer every possible version of Ubuntu on Xen for pretty cheap02:38
webroastersone question. how do i do this recursively?02:38
madalinBigTaxi: use that command and try to connect. Anything about wireless ?02:39
webroastersso that it deletes eveerything inside the folders02:39
escottwebroasters, find . -iname "*_notes" -delete02:39
escottwebroasters, find is recursive :)02:39
webroastersright. ok, thanks, i'll try it again02:39
ch33zhello02:39
ch33zI need help with a quick item please! :)02:39
escottwebroasters, unless you mean that those are folders. in which case you can use find . -iname "*_notes" -exec rm -rf {} \;02:39
BigTaxitwo say 'disabling freq 24 (72/84) MHz'02:39
BigTaxiworld regulatory domain updated02:40
webroastersyep, that's probably it02:40
ch33zhow do set up dns and apache I just did a fresh install02:40
BigTaxino connection though02:40
webroasterswith a semi-colon at the end?02:40
ch33zand also how do i add my html files in ubuntu?02:40
BigTaxii did not see you give me a command other than the -tail one... thats just a readout02:40
ch33zi am on Ubuntu server.02:40
dark|angelseems like toratek.net makes linode look overpriced...02:40
escottwebroasters, a \;... you have to get the semicolon escaped so that i makes it to find so that find knows the command is done02:40
Oerch33z, it is all in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/02:41

codemonkey1337guys, I know this may be a bit off topic but I'm kind of despite. I'm taking a systems programming in unix class, and my homework was to create an MBRviewer program. I created one, and everything works, but some of the CHS addresses are off. I'm hoping you guys can run it against your own MBRs and 1) tell me if they are also off and 2)help me debug my program, if you are willing02:55

Chucky_Lucianohey, is it possible to upgrade totem movie player to 3.2.1 if i am using ubuntu natty?  i like v3.2.1 better, as i have used it in fedora 16, but natty only has totem 2.32.0 ...how would one go about getting the later version?  i did see it on softpedia, but i am not sure how to go about installing it08:10
werdergreenit: I'm not on the Buntu right now but I think if you open up the Lens and start typing "flash" or "adobe" it should pop up08:10
somsipAirborneCalavry: version, that is. like, up to 11.10 from 11.04 or something08:10
g00053is there a gnome-shell setting or extension that will bring up notifications on the left instead of the right?08:11

transporterMailserver question. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I have [relayhost = smtp.someisp.no] and everything works fine. I have to use this relayhost since my ISP has closed port 25.

llutz_!runlevel | eyy1sup08:48
ubottueyy1sup: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.08:48
mcurranWhen my system starts up, my eth0 connection gets an IP and reports connected, but there's no traffic going through, I always have to disconnect and reconnect.  Anyone got any ideas?  I have wicd running at startup, and I also define a static ip in interfaces file.  I've tried disabling wlan0, but that doesn't help, because I thought wicd was connecting wlan0 and ...08:48
eyy1supubottu: so, since it uses Upstart, seeing "Unknown" is normal because there's nothing in /etc/inittab?08:48

damo22how do i automatically send a message to someone on irc when they come online ?10:08
CaptAnonI've been using ubuntu for the last 3 years, but unity has really really annoyed me and now I cant go back.10:08
dr_willisdamo22:  depends on the irs client. or use msgserv  service10:08
shadowe989CaptAnon, you can go back. Google how to install gnome 2 on it.10:08
dr_willisgnome2 is dead. time to move on.10:08
fidelCaptAnon: dude you can jump away from unity in several ways10:09
fidelwe even mentioned those ways already10:09
dr_willistheres some gnome2ish thangs for gnome-shell in the works :)10:09

shadowe989CaptAnon, Linux is a modular OS. If you don't like it, change it.10:09

JLucsometime its a miniature10:13
shadowe989llutz, hahaha10:13
JLucwhatdo you mean dr_willis ?10:13
dr_willisif file is so big it uses the Adobe icon instead. to save loading a big file10:13
dr_willisless then 10mb -- thumbnail. over 10mb = use adobe icon10:13
dr_willisi think its 10mb.10:13

Ranthor_HarwathHello I am losing windows on the workspace10:17
hoijui<dr_willis>, does not work.. it does not allow me to pull the dialog out on top, over the border10:17
werderoverclucker! a hyperactive chicken?10:17
JLucthen its just because the system has forgotten to miniature them !10:17
Ranthor_Harwathis there any other way to find it other than the alt tab10:18
overcluckerwerder: chicken with increased cluck rate10:18
JLucAMOF i'm not sure i prefer miniature...10:18
hoijuillutz_, also does not work, cause the element on focus is the "choose printer" drop-box, not the ok button10:18
Lintdr_willis, he means modal dialog bound to its parent10:18
JLucsince there is a lot of different file types in that folder10:18

llutz_hoijui: write a bugreport, they should redesign their dialog-boxes10:19
hoijuito whom?10:19
overcluckerJLuc: alt srag should minimize it too, but isn't the point to click a button? you maximize it again afterwards10:19
Linthoijui, and you cannot drag it by holding down alt and dragging by empty regions in it?10:20
hoijuiyou know.. i have to print my pdf ;-)10:20
overclucker*drag10:20
damo22hoijui, you can press enter to print10:20
hoijuiLint, ahhh that works :D thanks10:20
hoijuidamo22, no i can not, cause ok is not default on focus10:20
damo22hoijui, tab to different focus10:21
hoijuii tried draggign with alt+tittlebar, that did not work10:21
* Lint hates clueless gtk developers10:21
hoijuiyeah i can tab the focus10:21
hoijuibut i have to do that blindly10:21
llutz_hoijui: lpr foo.pdf10:21
Lintevery widget library that allows dialogs larger than screen should be shot10:21
hoijuiit works for me now, using alt+drag on an empty part of the dialog10:22
dr_williscompiz  has a way to shrink a window down also.. but i dont know th ekey combo. and  i bet its not on by default10:22
dr_willisscale plugin perhaps?10:22
SerythIf I wanted wine 1.3.36 rather than 1.3.28, (which is in the repo) would I have to build from source?10:22
ikoniaLint: please keep your comments out10:22
dr_willisalt-click-anywhere drag.. should move..10:22
hoijuii cant use commadn line tool, cause the pdf is shown in a browser, and has stuff in it which i can not save (only print)10:22
hoijuiwell.. problem is notw solved for me.. bnut..10:22
hoijuithat is surely no general solution10:22
dr_willisi use the alt-click drag thing on the netboolk all the time.10:23
hoijuino user would figure that out by himself10:23
damo22hoijui, wget httpofpdf  ; lpr pdf10:23
CaptAnonon the software center the comments say that compiz causes 11.10 to crash, can anyone confirm this?10:23
hoijuihmm.. yeah it woudl have been handy in other situations too10:23
dr_willisive had similer issues on windows.10:23

smookeywe used to be able to resolve our windows domain shares with the help of smbclient (from lucid repo), since upgrade to win 2008 servers the smbclient wont resolve anymore. Is there any other tool to resolve the names (without going up to samba 3.6 or something)12:08

feisarHi, I'm installing Ubuntu on my new netbook and I'd like to encrypt a couple of partitions, /tmp, /home, /swap etc. I was thinking of using luks with cryptsetup etc. is that a supported way of doing things in Ubuntu?12:09
CJRamzekapz: thats how its meant to be I think. Its been like that on mine from day one. You dont need to minimize anything and you double click the task bar to maximise12:09

kapzikonia, I am talking about MInt, which is based on ubuntu, I have ssen them in it12:10

MisterPetHi12:10
YanGMgnome shell is the visual made from gnome team for gnome12:10
ikoniakapz: it doesn't matter what other distros are doing, gnome shell does not have maximise/minimise to bar functionality as part of it's configuration, that is not how gnome shell is designed to work12:10

Aboodamelvincv: any particular problems? I am thinking of switching purely because I find my present Gnome shell draining on memory, and KDE is an even worse black hole for resources12:31

camer0nllutz_: how would i readd those users? adduser to the live cd, then copy across?12:55
shadowe989camer0n, /etc/ is where all you're important configuration files are stored, /etc is where the system looks for its settings. Applications will look in . files in you home directory.12:55
llutz_camer0n: idk if the live-cd allows that, try it12:55
shadowe989I don't think that would work the /etc/passwd file would have special users for a live cd, when u use the live cd u auto login the ubuntu user12:56

ActionParsnipLint: samba on win7 uses a different authentication mechanism, if it was published you'd have no issue but Microsoft are as they are so you get issues.13:22
cypher-neoWhen did the topic in #ubuntu switch to win 7?13:23
shadowe989lol13:23
c31r2gcypher-neo i wondered the same13:23
Sivikcypher-neo, its always been about windows.  lol13:23
hermitage<ActionParsnip> but what if i have to do a server search command where first i need to enter a pwd than i want to see the response of the server page by page ?13:23
shadowe989this is the new windows 7 support channel, I guess you didn't get the memo.13:24
ActionParsnipcypher-neo: its a user with samba issues under ubuntu connecting to Win7. So the topic never changed13:24
cypher-neoActionParsnip, Oh...13:24
cypher-neoActionParsnip, Tell him to reformat the Win 7 computer to Ubuntu. Then he'll have no problems at all. lol13:24
shadowe989hah13:24
Siviklol13:24
ActionParsniphermitage: if the command outputs any text you can pipe to less, any text at all :)13:24

ikoniaLint: I am using it out the box13:28
c31r2glike what?ActionParsnip13:28
ikoniac31r2g: you realise this is ubuntu support, not mint support13:28
c31r2gikonia im a newbie just curiosity over learning things and eventually i'll settle to one or the other distro..:)13:29
ikoniac31r2g: then please ask in the mint support channel why you are using mint13:29
MonkeyDustLint  this question dates from 2008 http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/15279/13:30
BrandonBoltonActionParsnip, It is complaining about needing a .conf file and how that will be ignored in a future release.13:30
ikoniac31r2g: the irc server is irc.sportchat.org and the channel is #linuxmint-help or #linuxmint-chat13:30
ActionParsnipc31r2g: it just searches al the files and finds any file name or path containing the word 'data'13:30
ActionParsnipBrandonBolton: is it in /etc/modprobe.d by any chance13:30
Lintikonia's debunked i presume13:31
c31r2gwell ikonia because my hdd has gone bad and no other source of running some other distro so running live usb .....u know dont have anything at hand right know13:31
c31r2gthanks ActionParsnip13:31

timkuijstencan anyone explain me why ubuntu security releases are always some days later than debian, for example the php patch last week was significantly later released than de updated debian release, is it maybe because ubuntu does more thorough testing than debian?14:02

kyubutsui like simple answers14:02
ActionParsnipGuest66446: chkdsk the partition so you know its healthy14:03
JuJuBeenp14:03
shadowe989kyubutsu, backports. That means debian releases the update then it has to be ported to ubuntu.14:03
monohedronJuJuBee, tasksel will do it in one go14:03
JuJuBeeAnybody here good with Rhythmbox and iPod syncing?14:03

shadowe989sorry not kyubutsu, i ment timkuijsten14:03
* kyubutsu chuckles14:04
shadowe989timkuijsten, distros sometimes port their patches to each other, but they have to make sure they work before they release them.14:04
MoleMankyubutsu: Although when installing Ubuntu Server there is an option to install LAMP, and you may be able to run a single command to install LAMP on server...14:04
JuJuBeemonohedron: did not know that.  Thanks, I have always installed separately since that is what is ultimately needed14:04
timkuijstenshadowe989: ok, so debian always has a closer sercurity vuln. window than ubuntu?14:04
kyubutsuMoleMan: that sounds even better14:04
monohedron:)14:04
timkuijstenshadowe989: s/coser/smaller/14:04
shadowe989timkuijsten, it depends, ubuntu releases their own patches then debian might port it to theirs.14:04
JuJuBeemonohedron: is taskel a meta package or an actual package with all the components?14:04
timkuijstenshadowe989: ok, good to know14:05
monohedronmeta is what you call it i think14:05
Guest66446i can't seem to chkdsk14:05

ubottuTasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel for more information.

MoleMankyubutsu: but Ubuntu Server does leave you restricted to a CLI only, if you wanted to use the same computer as a PC as well14:05
shadowe989monohedron, yeah meta-package is the correct term. There is no meta-package for "LAMP" as far as I know. I just install it manually.14:06

ubottuGuest66446: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic14:08

ignerioushow to install d4x in ubuntu 11.1014:09
llutz_JuJuBee: and your ISP forwarded the ports for you?14:09
shadowe989timkuijsten, Yeah its hard to say. I'm not a expert on if ubuntu is more secure. But as long as you're using linux and you set up your apps right with security in mind. You should be fine.14:09
igneriousplease tell me14:09
JuJuBeellutz: i do it at my end14:09
ActionParsnipunderio: what do I need that for?14:09
llutz_JuJuBee: you can't when being ISP NATed14:09
timkuijstenshadowe989: but you dont' know about any binary blobs in the ubuntu kernel either?14:10
kyubutsullutz_: the router software can do some forwarding14:10
ActionParsnipunderio: you are using precise which isn't supported here and is supported in #ubuntu+1 or you have used a 3rd party kernel which isn't supported either here or in the +1 channel14:10
llutz_kyubutsu: you can't when being ISP NATed14:11

shadowe989timkuijsten, sadly I don't. I'm security aware but not a kernel guy. I just know from what I've read in books and such.14:11
llutz_JuJuBee: kyubutsu if your ISP uses NAT, he would need to portforward every port to every NATes IP to get you accessible from WAN. they won't do14:11
kyubutsullutz_: i see yer point, but, its not impossible14:12

llutz_monohedron: well, i'm german... so you're wrong14:15

llutz_JuJuBee: if you setup dyndns it always would point to the wrong IP. even if you try to get to my (local-) external IP, you won't reach anything, because theres no port forwarded14:17
kyubutsuoh look oscar isnt nat'ed14:17
Lintkyubutsu, you may need to purchase 'static IP' option to enable port forwarding14:17
kyubutsui tell you, your router can do it for you14:18

I already have it set up, but I added another Ubuntu ISO and I need to update grub (I assume) to boot to ti. Currently this particular entry errors out that I have to load the kernel first.14:41
roastedshadowe989: Grub is already installed on the flash drive. Wouldn't updating it after adding a new ISO be all I need?14:41
urfr332g0roasted, how did you set up the flash to multi boot?14:41
shadowe989roasted, if you partitioned it and installed ubuntu to each partition grub will detect the other OS14:42
roastedurfr332g0: I forget, it's been a while. I basically made my own grub congiruation and set up a folder of a bunch of ISOs. I think I found instructions on pendrivelinux or something.14:42
shadowe989roasted, then after that it might have the names right but you can still select which systems to boot. You can clean that up later in the configs.14:42
roastedurfr332g0: I have to find the "grub2 entry" for whichever OS I want to be on there. So I have Ubuntu, GParted, Clonezilla, DBAN, etc on it.14:42
roastedshadowe989: no, nothing is installed, Ubuntu isn't phsyically installed. It's just a folder of ISO's that I can boot to in a live session.14:43

shadowe989asterisk-Tester, that's the one you need or a newer version. But that there supports the 555m15:33
ciaobelloi would like to download ubunto ... for a workstation ... recomendation is 32Bit ... but the PC is 64bit ... what are the reasons for the recomendation15:33
shadowe989asterisk-Tester, so 270.41.06 will do the trick15:34
shadowe989ciaobello, 32bit is mostly better with older computers. It's safer to say it'll work15:34

ActionParsnipforbidden404: what codecs have you installed?15:36
ActionParsnipforbidden404: what format are the files you have tried?15:37
shadowe989asterisk-Tester, then you need to install the "guest additions" on the virtual machine. That will give you 3d acceleration. I have the same setup but different nvidia card15:37

=== bi-dev is now known as dat789
shadowe989asterisk-Tester, basically virtual machines have their own drivers which they call "Guest additions" that allow the VM to use your real hardware more efficiently. So if your using ubuntu in a VM you don't need the nvidia driver.15:38

ActionParsnipforbidden404: install gnome-mplayer or vlc and try that15:39
shadowe989asterisk-Tester, yeah guest addition updates and virtual box updates do help 3d acceleration.15:39
asterisk-Testerthe max that virtual box supports was 128 MB , but my card is 2 GB...15:39

dat789@Bobenhaus, I'm trying to do the same for ATI Catalyst15:41
shadowe989asterisk-Tester, I keep vmware player (free version) just for when I need good 3d acceleration. but I use virtual box for most of my development.15:41
asterisk-Testerbut even with vmware, only 128 MB can be used ? isnt it weird to have the same limitation in both ?15:41
asterisk-Testeraha15:41
shubbarAnyone has a new Logitech webcam?15:42
asterisk-Testerso installing the driver from nvidia site wont be much of a help, as it wont "update" my guest additions, right ?15:42
shadowe989asterisk-Tester, I don't understand why that is but 128MB can do quite a bit. I'd give it a shot. Vmware player is 100% free unlike other versions, so it might be worth using until virtualbox catches up some.15:42
ActionParsnipBobenhaus: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current15:42
Bobenhausok thanks15:42
shadowe989asterisk-Tester, you are correct.15:42

Yesterday, I removed gnome/unity, using the site listed from the !purexfce command. However, me and Moebius were troubleshooting a Wine problem today, that required me to login/out. I logged out, and then my screen went black. I thought I should reboot, same problem. I went past BIOS, and i16:17

meskarunezykotick9: qopi said he got proc mounted, so there is no issue.17:41
meskaruneqopi: if mount -t proc proc proc/   worked then use that17:42

qopimeskarune: ah, so I guess I need to do "mount -t sysfs sys sys/" from within /proc directory I created then mounted, right?17:43
meskaruneqopi: to log into the chroot after everything is mounted you do "chroot . /bin/bash"17:43
meskaruneqopi: no, mount everything from /mnt/ubuntu17:44
zykotick9qopi: the chroot you are creating is missing it's root file system (it's gonna fail)17:44

meskaruneI'm going through chroot step by step17:44
llutzqopi: "ls -l /mnt/ubuntu "   does it show more than proc, sys?17:45
qopimeskarune: mount point sys/ does not exist (which is perhaps what zykotick9 is banging on about?)17:45
zykotick9meskarune: your order of operations is incurrect then.17:45

qopibut yes, in /mnt/ubuntu/proc/ there is currently ONLY proc17:47
llutzmeskarune: he needs to mount the filesystem he wants to chroot in BEFORE17:47

auronandaceDwade09: use gparted to delete the partition18:10
Dwade09or how can i extend my linux os into all the free space that win 7 was taken up on so i can have space to install tons of stuff and not worry about running out of room18:10
AboodaDwade09: You can do that, and then re-format18:10

AboodaDwade09: you can also mount onto the Win7 partition for now. Or is the corruption that bad?18:11
Dwade09auronandace:  can i do that inside my booted linux os? or live cd? because i tried live cd and it would not load it just hung on the live cd18:11

auronandaceDwade09: a livecd should work, i usually use partedmagic18:11
Dwade09auronandace:  can i just do it inside the linux os i am running on the same hard drive?18:12
AboodaDwade09: well GParted as auronandace suggested is the standard for re-formatting partitions18:12
auronandaceDwade09: you can delete the windows partition yes, but you won't be able to resize your linux partition i you are using it18:13
auronandaceif18:13
Dwade09that is fine for now,18:13
Dwade09auronandace:  i am going to screen cap a pic for you to see my gparted18:13

zykotick9Dwade09: auronandace it's update-grub18:18

mysticdarkhackplease help18:18
auronandaceDwade09: ext2? what about it? i thought you just want to delete the partition, not reformat it18:19
Dwade09i want to use it as storage18:19
Aboodamysticdarkhack: what happens with alt + F2?18:19
zykotick9mysticdarkhack: do you have a vga= line for your kernel?  Might want to remove it, if you do, and retest.18:19
Dwade09auronandace:  i want to use it as storage for now till i extend my main os to it18:20
auronandaceDwade09: up to you what you want to use, as long as you know what OS needs to read it18:21
Dwade09so ext2 for linux? since all i have is ubuntu?18:21
auronandaceDwade09: that will work yes18:21

Aboodajiltdil: are you sure a .exe file is meant to be a video?18:23
bobo37773jiltdil: Probably a virus or something18:24
Aboodajiltdil: if it's not a virus, it's at least a wrong extension. Where did you get it?18:24

Can you help me choose one?18:27
ActionParsnipjiltdil: means nothing to me18:27

dlentzvandal-, i hear good things about crunchbang18:28
bananstoli know puppy linux has a ubuntu version, so it would be somewhat familiar with commands etc18:28
vandal-ActionParsnip, and which distribution would you recommend for it ? :)18:28
ActionParsnipvandal-: if you want lightweight then try Slitaz, puppy, tinycore18:28
bananstolan18:28
ActionParsnipvandal-: it will run Xubuntu well18:28
Dwade09meskarune:  there is a lost and found folder in the file system it says i do not have permissiont o access it?18:28
vandal-thanks dlentz bananstol and ActionParsnip. i'll google something about those mentioned by you :)18:29

ActionParsnipvandal-: could install ubuntu minimal then install fluxbox and lightdm   you'll get a light OS18:30
=== Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker
meskaruneDwade09: you need to give your user permission to use the file system. or you can mount the file system in your user's home in fstab18:31
bobo37773ActionParsnip: Is lightdm really stable?18:31
Dwade09meskarune:  new to linux, can you tell me how?18:31
meskaruneActionParsnip: I don't think ubuntu minimal is all that light... something like bsd or debian would be much lighter18:31
Dwade09auronandace:  that bar on my left side of the screen anyway i can move it to the bottom of the screen?18:32
zykotick9meskarune: ubuntu-mini is debian net install (with ubuntu repos)18:32
meskaruneDwade09: if you want the file system to mount at boot in your user's home, I would suggest adding the new file system you made to fstab18:33
meskaruneDwade09: so to open fstab you can do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"18:34

meskaruneI don't see what the big deal is with sudo vs. gksu. using sudo uses the user's home settings. gksu uses root settings, so I think it depends on what you are doing.19:19

Anyone know any links? or am I trying to use the wrong program altogether?19:21
snow_auronandace, thinking about T520, have you used them?19:21

randomuserHELP i have a weird probelm with my ubuntu!19:24
zacktuoCean: apt-cache policy linux-image-generic says that 3.0.0.16.19 is installed -- i've never had to do any grub update -- update manager updates, and i reboot, and grub shows a new kernel -- am i supposed to do something more?19:24
auronandaceuser1_: your swap needs to be at least as big as your ram19:24
snow_auronandace, how about T420 ?19:25
user1_auronandace: you mean 3GB swap!19:25
auronandacesnow_: yes, nvidia optimus is something you should avoid if you use linux19:25
Picisnow_: See http://www.thinkwiki.org19:25
bobo37773meskarune: Which ones does ubuntu put there?19:25
auronandaceuser1_: yes19:25
user1_auronandace: by parted!19:26
bobo37773alex123123: When grub show up you can press e to edit command line and append 3 to the end to get to a shell. That is how grub legacy works anyway19:26
meskarunebobo37773: in ubuntu they insist that people use gksu instead of sudo to run GUI programs, but you can just edit sudoers to have sudo's home be root19:26
snow_auronandace, Intel HD graphics 3000 is ok ?19:26
oCeanzacktu: no, during install the required grub commands are executed. When rebooting, hold shift to bring up the grub menu. I'm wondering if the new entries show up. Wait, before rebooting do a  grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg19:26
auronandaceuser1_: yes, you can use gparted to resize your swap, make sure you swapoff first19:27
Picimeskarune: using gksudo instead of sudo is not limited to just Ubuntu.  Heck, if you want to use sudo isntead, be my guest, but you may end up with unwanted root-owned files in your user's home.19:27
user1_auronandace: ok let me try19:27
meskarunebobo37773: in your sudoers file you can have "env_reset" on19:27
snow_ok19:27
meskarunepici: I have my sudoers file set up so I don't have root owned files made in my home directory. its not hard to do.19:28
auronandacesnow_: just make sure to avoid any dual/hybrid graphics and optimus and you should be fine (the newer the graphics card the less likely there is support (generally))19:28
oCeanmeskarune: and using gksu is hard?19:28
Picimeskarune: Can you show me what change you've made, I'm curious to see it.19:28
bobo37773meskarune: It is not controlled from /etc/sudoers in ubuntu? env_reset? Sounds needlessly complicated. I meant what files are created in the users home directory?19:28
meskaruneoCean: I run fluxbox and xmonad. I don't have a ton of GUI applications in my install19:28
Jimm_hi, can anyone help me fix a misaligned partition?19:29
meskarunebobo37773: its not complicated. you type in "visudo" and make sure env_reset is on/uncommented19:29
zykotick9bobo37773: i'd just use gksudo if i where you19:30
meskarunethere is no need to use gksu is your sudoers is sane19:30

zykotick9bobo37773: that's your choice, it's not a good one, but it's yours to make.19:31
randomusermeskarune, you could also recognize that GUI apps generally are not system admin apps and just not run them as root19:31
OerHeks!gksudo19:31

DeanHey guys. Quick question: Can I use the standard Ubuntu 11.10 desktop CD to fully encrypt my drive or do I need the alternative cd?19:31
bobo37773Why not just use gksu instead? Isn't gksudo just a wrapper anyway?19:31
michaelgreenis there likeany way i can like let one of you guys control my computer from yours that would be alot easier19:31
auronandacemeskarune: if you are offering help to someone and your sudoers is different to theirs, please tell them to use gksudo19:32
meskarunerandomuser: I almost never run anything as root. so I still don't see the problem19:32

Jimm_could anyone give me some advice on fixing a misaligned partition please?19:37
zykotick9michaelgreen: isn't "EEE storage" online?19:37
meskarunerandomuser: you DO need root permission to edit sudoers. there was a person who thought their password was wrong/messed up. root is used to fix issues or config things. in any case I think ubuntu should come installed with a sudoers file that doesn't put root owned files in home19:37

mang0I'm having a problem with my ubuntu 11.10 system. I installed xfce a few weeks back, and then yesterday decided to remove gnome/unity completely, which I did by copying the command listed on the url given by !purexfce. However, I can no longer access my system. When I boot up, I go past BIOS, past Grub, and then I see the xfce loading/splash screen for a sec, and then i just have a blank...19:39
mang0...screen. I'm wondering if by removing the gnome/unity stuff, I accidentally screwed up X11, or perhaps my graphics drivers? Wit a lot of fiddling, I can get into TTY; I had to choose "Old linux versions" in grub, and then recovery console for ubuntu with 2.x.x kernel, rather than my normal 3.x.x. What can I do? Please help, my computer is unusable.19:39

tacomasteri was wondering i have a rtl8187 and it works decently but every so often it seems like the speed greatly degrades or i disconnect. i found a way to stop for the most part it disconnecting with the command "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" but it still slows down which leads me to my question i did a "iwconfig" and saw a part Invalid misc:272 and almost every time i load a web page it goes up. I read the man page on it but19:42
trever420just recreate it19:42
trever420jimm_ I'd boot from the gparted CD and use the GUO19:42
auronandaceuser1_: sounds good, yes19:42
trever420GUI*...19:42
Jimm_okay i'll give that a go19:43
trever420Jimm_, delete all partitions so it's just one unallocated partition19:43
Jimm_i tried it from the ubuntu live disk but messed something up19:43
randomusermeskarune, you should direct people to use visudo for editing sudoers, not gksudo gedit19:43
xubuntu5try using gparted19:43
trever420well since it's empty you can start over Jimm_ :-)19:43
trever420make sure the 200GB partition is flagged as boot tho since thats gonna be your boot partition I assume19:44
trever420if you right click on it in gparted i think it lets you select flags19:44
Jimm_am trying iy one last time from ubuntu live disk gparted19:44
randomusertrever420, a 200GB /boot? really?19:44
Jimm_then ill go for the other19:44
trever420randomuser, thats what he wants19:44
zykotick9trever420: just an FYI, but grub doesn't really care about the boot flag (ie. it's not actually required)19:44
trever420ah i guess thats true zykotick9... i'm using the windows bootloader19:45
randomuserJimm_, do you know what /boot is for?19:45
Jimm_it doesnt read the right storage19:45
meskarunerandomuser: I never told anyone to edit sudoers with gedit. :P19:45
trever420Jimm_ what do you mean?19:45
Jimm_say8ing its only 2.2tb. that normal?19:45
trever420eh nothing is perfect ;-)19:46
trever4202.5TB after formatting will use some19:46
trever420there is overhead19:46
trever420i dunno the exact percentage to be hones19:46
randomusermeskarune, my point is that you shouldn't encourage people to blindly run things as root. I'm sorry that i jumped on you , i didnt see the actual problem you were addresing19:46
trever420honest*...19:46
randomuserJimm_, WHY ARE YOU MAKING A HUGE /boot ?!?!19:46
Jimm_should i use primary or extended?19:46
trever420primary is fine19:46
Jimm_i like to store things on desktop19:47
trever420i guess if your only using Linux then dont worry about flagging it19:47
randomuserJimm_, only kernels are in /boot19:47
zykotick9Jimm_: there is a BIOS limitation of 4 primary partitions, so if you want more then 4 paritions, use extended+logical19:47
randomuserthe desktop is /home Jimm_19:47
trever420randomuser thats niot what he is doing19:47
trever420he's making a large partition of 200GB which is the partition he boots off of19:47
trever420i assume he is maybe keeping ubuntu on one partition and data on another?19:48
randomuseri see19:48
randomuserso you, trever420 , decided to call that partition /boot19:48
trever420no i didnt19:48
trever420i said he should flag it as boot19:48
trever420very different19:48
trever420but then i was kindly pointed out that since he is using GRUB he doesnt need to19:49
trever420since i use the windows bootloader i do have to flag the partition as boot19:49
Jimm_lol, thanks mate, no idea what i did before but its fine now19:49
meskarunerandomuser: I don't tell people to blindly use root. I almost never use root after my initial system setup. but for issues like password problems or editing fstab you need super user access. people were upset about using sudo instead of gksu with GUI applications. but there is no reason for ubuntu to have that problem if the sudoers file is set up with env_reset19:49
trever420it's cool19:49
trever420:-)19:49
Jimm_could of sworn i did it that way before but heyho19:50
trever420Jimm: what format did you make the 200GB ?19:50
trever420ext3, ext4, ntfs, FAT?19:50
Jimm_100gb is primary ext419:50
trever420ah ok19:50
meskarunerandomuser: I think its just an issue of other distro's doing things differently. I primarily use arch and bsd, but help in #ubuntu since its a gataway to *nix19:50
Jimm_the rst is one partition ext419:50
trever420what about the second one?19:50
trever420oh19:50
Jimm_primary again19:50
trever420is there a reason why you needed two partitions?19:51
Jimm_basically im running xp19:51
trever420i assumed you wanted to keep data on another partition you could access in both Windows and Linux19:51
Jimm_xp being a mong cant read my new 2.5tb19:51
trever420windows wont read the ext4 th19:51
trever420it's not that it cant read it... it's that there is a limit on fat drives19:51
Jimm_so i need ubuntu to manage my storage19:51
trever420it cant format FAT more than 32GB i think19:52
trever420but NTFS should have been able to read it fine19:52
oscar76hi there, how do I start a ssh connection in 10.04?19:52
EvilResistanceJimm_, format the 2.5TB drive as NTFS and it can be used on Ubuntu and Windows19:52
qw-RussianWindows is not read File system ext4 ext3 and other ubuntu system19:52
trever420when you boot into XP now Jimm_ you are not going to see the second patition cuz it's EXT419:52
Jimm_yeah but xp simply cant pick up a 2.5tb19:52
trever420it needs to be NTFS19:52
EvilResistanceqw-Russian, Windows cannot read ext4 partitions19:52
trever420my XP machine sees 2.5TB just fine :-\19:53
meberhartoscar - you can just type ssh [address] in the terminal19:53

Jimm_well i have 6tb in total now but all spread out19:54
kionOscar76 check first that  1.- you actually "see" the remote machine by pinging to it19:54
trever420i see19:55
OerHeksEvilResistance, sinds april 2010, i was surprised too > http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/19:55
EvilResistanceqw-Russian, there's no drivers to allow Windows to read EXT4, there was one to allow reading of ext3 / ext2, but you're better of having a separate NTFS partition for Ubuntu and Windows to share19:55
EvilResistanceOerHeks, that has *never* worked with ext419:55
auronandace!ext319:55
ubottuext3 is the default filesystem on older versions of Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org19:55

EvilResistance!fstab | yellabs20:10
ubottuyellabs: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions20:10
zykotick9OerHeks: actually, enabling swap will NOT update entry in fstab20:10
arginfarbnuts, someone mentioned twinview, what was the other thing to use for a multi-monitor setup?20:10
meskaruneDynamicFail: you can use lsub to list usb devices and see if they are being detected20:11
EvilResistanceyellabs, make sure you ask if you have questions about what to put for the swap, otherwise bad things could happen20:11
EvilResistanceyellabs, i also dont have a linux system in front of me, so i cant help you set up the specifics20:11

trever420it should now allow you to make it more than 2TB20:17
zykotick9mivulf: you can't use nautilus though a terminal, what do you want to do exactly?20:17
meskaruneDynamicFail: then run lsub as root and it will list all detected usb devices20:17
Jimm_is it okay for the hole drive to be that?20:17
trever420which should mean that XP can also read it20:17
trever420yea thats fine20:17

meskarunesidb: do you have bluetooth modules installed ?20:17
trever420if you want20:17
trever420i dont think it matters20:17
mivulfzykotick9: for example, i want to open any folder from termianl ^__^20:17
kionOscar76 but i am shure that is sshd, ..... lets  see, did you open the port 22 with the command I sent you?20:18
DynamicFailmeskarune, couldn't find package lsub... I really think you are thinking of lsusb... which lists all usb devices and info and is part of the usbutils package?20:18
zykotick9mivulf: "cd /path" then "ls" to list20:18
trever420tho if you want windows to read the other >2TB partition u gotta make it NTFS or something that windows can read20:18
trever420not EXT420:18

cfhowlettmauryck: sudo apt-cache search kernel-image20:26
meskarunemauryck: I would suggest using debian testing if you want the 3.2 kernel (I'm using it right now. increased battery life on my laptop \o/ "20:26
trever420i was just seeing if you had a reason ;-)... alot of people say they like opensource cuz it means free... which isnt always true... i was just testing you meskarune20:26
sidbi am not able to know which one is for bluetooth20:26
PiciViman: Ubuntu doesn't upgrade packages like that, especially the kernel.20:26
cfhowlettmauryck: followed by $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.xx-yy-generic20:27
Pici!latest | Viman20:27
Vimanso really 3.0.16 is the most bleeding edge it gets?20:27
ubottuViman: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.20:27

kaiowasIf i partition my drive in 2 partitions, one for OSX and one for Ubuntu. Is there a way I can install Ubuntu without a cd/usb memory?20:30
meskaruneviman: if you want bleeding edge, use debian testing or arch linux. if you want stability with most of the bugs ironed out, ubuntu LTS is better20:30
mauryckmeskarune, how can i use debian testing?20:30
Trevor69420bleh computer just crashed strange20:30
MonkeyDustViman  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Development_model20:30
llutzyellabs: but be warned: if you use discard and you delete files, theres no way to get them back (besides backups)20:30

arginfarbhmm... nvidia-settings doesn't seem to have a way for me to configure multiple monitors, anyone know how to do this without editing xorg.conf?20:31
meskarunemauryck: you install debian to your computer. :P20:31
Vimanright. It's just funny because the whole userland gets updated jjust like other distros, but the kernel seems to lag behind (2.6x in 10.04, still)20:31
meskarunemauryck: or check out linux mint debian edition20:31
OerHeksllutz, do you use noatime only ?20:31
llutzOerHeks: nope, i have backups :)20:32
wjimnkaiowas: not that i can think of, unless there's an installer that works from OSX like there's a Windows installer20:32
PiciViman: The rest of userland does NOT get updated after a release comes out. Only security updates for those versions.20:32
Vimando you have to use debian testing to get that rolling release?20:32
meskaruneI use relatime on ssd. but noatime will help with disk writes considerably20:32

meskarunestandard release is better for servers and computers you don't want to have change constantly. also better for stability. rolling release is better for security and having the lastest software packages - which can be important if you have very new hardware20:37

yellabslike this20:51
yellabsext4 rw,noatime,20:51
Guest75773You there?20:51
OerHeksyellabs, my fstab looks like this > UUID=cb666b2a-5d6d-4ec4-a56d-a7903866933f /               ext4    discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0       120:51
meskaruneyellabs: you can use relatime instead of default disk mount options for an ssd (or to save battery life on a laptop)20:52
kionmeskarune: thanks for the advice, just tried it on my terminal, my ubuntu box does not know that command20:52
DynamicFailHow do you test to see if drivers are installed... I know by default ubuntu 10.04 has uncvideo/gspca but I need to check to see if it was included in a custom build I have... and if they weren't install them.20:52

OerHeksyellabs, yes, that is oke.20:53
kionoscar76: go to your web browser and as the address write 192.168.1.120:53
serythoscar76: What're you trying to do?20:54
Guest75773Do i put anything for space used to presrve files across reboots (ubuntu only)20:54
yellabsso relatime is better then the noatime option ?20:54
kionoscar76: that will lead you to the configuration options of the router20:54
meskarunekion: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.iproute2.html  with linux kernels over 2.2 you should be using iproute2 instead of ifconfig (though ifconfig will still work, just might run into some issues)20:54

meskaruneGuest75773: most likely it already is fat32. use the disk tools on windows to check20:57
yellabshmm, i scrolled back and concluded that noatime is the right option20:57
slackin_i forgot i was on freenode20:57
Guest75773I know but how do i clear everything from usb20:58
kionmeskarune: ok thanks for the advice, i will document myself on iproute220:58
marcociao20:58
serythGuest75773: In windows, right click on the USB stick > Format > FAT32, it's pretty simple20:58
blitzyou can usually right click on the drive and there should be a format option in windows..20:58
meskaruneyellabs: noatime will mess up time sensitive files, like email if you use a client. relatime will only add time stamps for files that are under use so mail won't be messed up, but it sill reduces disk writes20:58
serythGuest75773: A bit of googling will help you. There are countless tutorials for installing from a usb stick.20:58

Guest75773now what?21:01
meskaruneyellabs: replace noatime with relatime :)21:01
Guest75773Do i put anything on unebootin where it says space used to preserve files across reboots21:01
trismIanWizard-Cloud: what would you like to remove? you generally have to uninstall indicators to remove them21:01
yellabsokey thanks21:01
yellabsgot to go , untill next time21:01
IanWizard-Cloudtrism: for instance, the mail / gwibber applet.  I never use, I'd like to remove it... I wouldn't complain if I could add a systray, but that can be solved with other apps.21:02
Guest75773I am being patient but i just wnat you to not see the message21:02
meskaruneGuest75773: then open unextbootin and choose the ubuntu iso file, and choose your usb device. then run it21:02
Guest75773Is that all meskarune21:03
blitzevery time apt-get install finished installing something, kbuildsycoca4 is automatically run21:03
Guest75773Do i put anything for space used to preserve files across reboots21:03
blitzis that from okular?21:03
trismIanWizard-Cloud: the envelope indicator is indicator-messages, you can uninstall that to remove it, you can also just uninstall gwibber if you just want to remove the broadcast entry21:04
serythGuest75773: You want to install ubuntu right? Then you don't need to leave space for anything.21:04
Guest75773I want windows too21:04

sarujiblitz, ok how can i go back to gnome?21:10
mbeierlsaruji, then the next step I would recommend is xubuntu instead of Gnome...21:10
blitzI think if you log out there's a gear and you can change it21:10
cfhowlettsaruji: xubuntu or lubuntu are lighter distro's for lower spec machines21:10
sarujibut should a core duo really be put in that category?21:11
* mbeierl really needs to try lubuntu one of these days... heard great things21:11

meskaruneGuest75773: go into bios and then choose boot disc usb21:15
Simon1245By the way, what's the biggest thing that can happen if I use a x32 instead of x64?21:16
mbeierlsaruji, I don't know what you mean.  If you get the latest and greatest lubuntu or xubunut it will work on your lower-powered laptop.21:16
meskaruneSimon1245: 64 bit just uses all your cores (if you have more than 4)21:16
meskaruneI mean 221:16
Simon1245meskarune, I just have 2 so that means that I don't need it?21:17
sarujimbeierl, will give it a shot, just saying this tells me that the distro is taking a different road21:17
zykotic10meskarune: 64bit has NOTHING to do with CPU Cores.  It has to do with memory.  Simon124521:17
sarujimbeierl, thanks21:17
Simon1245meskarune, My Windows is in x6421:17
meskarunesaruji: use a light wieght linux like puppy for old hardware21:17
Simon1245zykotic10, I got 4gb ram21:17
mbeierlSimon1245, also the 4gb limit.  above 4gb (technically 3.2?) you will need to use PAE for addressing the larger area of memory21:17
InnxisGood evening. So, I installed ubuntu without GRUB, after which I installed if from the live cd but I can't configure it. Any help?21:17
Simon1245mbeierl, so if I have 4gb it's fine?21:17
zykotic10Simon1245: 32bit will either 1) not use the full 4GB or 2) with PAE will be a few % slower then optimal21:18
Simon1245mbeierl, It feels that ubuntu is really slow though, Windows loads much faster and shit so I thought wrong version might be the prblem21:18
bgs2I'm trying to get an old X Windows game to work on 11.10.  I've gone through a couple of different ways, and I end up with an executable game, but it's apparently missing a font dependency as it says "fatal error: cannot load font".  I'm wondering if anyone could help guide me through this a bit.21:18
Simon1245What do you guys recommend, change it to x64?21:18
mbeierlSimon1245, I would almost recommend 32bit over 64 with less than 4gb as the larger addressing space causes you to have less usable memory.  (reference needed)21:18
codemonkey1337hey guys, how would I get this command to use the ssh port 2222? ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -f -l user localhost21:18

nopfcodemonkey1337: add -p 2222 ?21:19
serythbgs2: Oh, I see.. :/ dunno then21:19
cfhowlettSimon1245: no real benefit to 64 unless you've got 4+ gigs of ram says the official documentation21:19
Simon1245mbeierl, Like loading everything a firefox app takes like 2-4 seconds and this one is completly clean21:19
codemonkey1337nopf: where do I add it, I tried adding it as the front parameter, and as the last parameter, but it gives me an error every single time21:19
Simon1245cfhowlett, Ah so that means I don't really need it as I just have 4gb, right unless I plan to upgrade it21:20
nopfcodemonkey1337: i normally add it in the end...21:20
meskarunezykotic10: if you put a 32 bit linux on a computer with 64 bit support, its not going to use all the system resources efficiently. it DOES affect how the cpu cores are used21:20
zykotic10Simon1245: firefox, unfortunatly, isn't a good comparision - it's always been slower in GNU/Linux then microsoft (swiftfox is/was an attempt to remedy that)21:20

afxtwnhi everyone. :921:32
afxtwni'm having some trouble with Xorg maybe someone can help me? i got my 24" monitor to rotate into portrait mode using  RandRRotate. i've got a working xorg.conf file. the thing is... i'd like to have my screen rotated on a minimal  system installation without a gui and don't know how to get it working in portrait mode. any thoughts?21:32

InnxisChameleon detects the GRUB, but grub is not set up to identify Ubuntu.21:33
ibnuafxtwn: xrandr?21:33
InnxisDualboot: Mac - Ubuntu21:33
afxtwnibnu, when i tried xrandr i got an error along the lines of unable to start X, or unable to load screen...21:34
meskaruneafxtwn: you can use xrandr or lxrandr for screen rotation21:34
meskaruneafxtwn: unable to startx isn't xrandr related21:34
ibnuafxtwn: can you post the message21:34

mbeierlSimon1245, sorry - what I was saying about firefox being slow to load is that the first invocation of a program causes it to be loaded off the disk.  Secondary ivocations of commonly used programs have the advantage of being able to use data that is still in the cache.21:34
jazzjaja here https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian21:35
jazzim stuck21:35
InnxisAny ideas?21:35
mbeierlSimon1245, but someone else afterwards did say that firefox is slower under Linux, so it's not a fair comparison21:35
cfhowlettInnxis: did you use refit/gptsynch?21:35
Simon1245zykotic10, thanks21:35
InnxisNow, I haven't tried that.21:35
afxtwnlets say you just did a minimal fedora/ubuntu installation. how would you rotate the screen without graphics cards, etc. is there something special i need to install. do i have to fuss about with X at all? when i tried to run xrandr it said it couldn't connect to the monitor or something...21:35
InnxisAny tips on how to do that?21:35
afxtwnhmph, sorry but i'm running in a gui right now.21:36
cfhowlettInnxis: point me to the tutorial you're using to install...21:36
meskaruneafxtwn: you need x for graphical applications. :P21:36
InnxisI'm not trying to install according to a tutorial, I'm a freelancer.21:36
meskaruneafxtwn: http://ubuntunation.blogspot.com/2009/11/howto-rotate-screen-in-linux-using.html21:37
InnxisLook, I'm just trying to get GRUB configured to boot my from my partition (hda0,3) without installing it in the MBR21:37
Simon1245mbeierl, oh21:37
Zillowhow do I move home to another user?21:37
ibnuafxtwn: xrandr need a running xserver21:37
Simon1245mbeierl, I'll try chrominues ors omething liek that to see how it works :)21:37
mbeierlafxtwn, sorry - I'd like to confirm what you want.  You would like the text console (tty) to be rotated?21:37
cfhowlettInnxis: perfectly fine if you MUST make your own way - I would only point out that there ARE those who've done this before AND documented the struggle....https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook21:38
afxtwnibnu, thanks. that's important to know. aside from installing x, is it an installed process to get it running well enough to run xrandr and go?21:38
meskaruneZillow: make a new user, then move your files over to that?21:38
mbeierlSimon1245, I'm a die-hard firefox user, so... You can try, but I find once loaded, ff is as quick...21:38
afxtwnmbeirl that is correct.21:38
ejvHello, need help, my dmesg is filled with: "generic-usb 0003:051D:0002.0001: control queue full" making it IMPOSSIBLE to ask my APC UPS for any information. How do I fix this?21:38
Zillowmeskarune, it's that easy??21:38
mbeierlafxtwn, the rotation using xrandr is done at a different level.  That is not the correct tool for rotating the ttys.  It's been a very long time since I've looked at that, but I think you might be wanting a framebuffer tty in order to rotate it.21:39
meskaruneZillow: on my system I have home on a sepperate partition, so if I reinstall linux I can just mount that partition to home. but in your case it might be easier to just make a new user and cp files that you need21:39
InnxisYou're seriously meeting by the bushes around here.21:39
DynamicFailHow would I figure out which driver my webcam uses?21:39
Simon1245mbeierl, by the way can it be something to do with my computer not meeting the requierments?21:39
mbeierlafxtwn, rotation is not supported at the BIOS level.21:39
Innxis*beating21:39
mbeierlSimon1245, bah.  Nearly any computer can meet linux requirements.  Just depends on what gadgets/bells/eye-candy, etc you choose to go along with it :)21:40
afxtwnmbeirl:framebuffer ttys. that's something i'll research! thanks for the breadcrumbs!21:40
InnxisI only ask for an expiation on how to configure GRUB form a Live CD or from the GRUB Command Line.21:40
mbeierlafxtwn, it's a grub boot-loader time option, iirc21:40
ibnuafxtwn: framebuffer ttys is a good idea21:41
cfhowlettInnxis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows21:41
Simon1245mbeierl, I mean this one with untiy thing, maybe that's the main reason it causes lag?21:41
meskaruneInnxis: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst form a live cd with a text editor. just make sure you know how21:41
Zillowmeskarune, that is quite brilliant. I think I will setup similar to that after this. could you by chance tell me if "everything" will be the same in the new user?21:41
metsys23hey again :) I am a pidgi user and need some help: if I click in X pidgi completly closes. Is there a option to, when i press X, put it in the taskbar like skype for example?21:41
InnxisI did, doesn't work.21:41
zykotic10Innxis: don't edit menu.lst - it's not how grub2 works.21:42
afxtwnthanks everyone! see ya! :)21:42
InnxisActually, I used update-grub from the live CD and copied the menu.lst to the grub on the disk.21:42
InnxisNo results.21:43
mbeierlSimon1245, yes.  That is entirely possible.  Microsoft did spend some time with (I think) Vista, to allow basic vs. eye-candy, and I think it chooses for you.  With Unity, you almost need to try and decide to go 2d explicitly if it does not suit your needs21:43
meskarunezillow: your program settings should be the same if you do that. if you save themes and icons in home those will stay teh same as well.21:43
zykotic10Innxis: did you chroot before running update-grub?  see "/msg ubottu grub2" for assistance.21:43
Zillowmeskarune, would flags would be good with cp for this? cp -r? cp -f -r?21:44
InnxisZillow: -r = recursive, -f = force21:44
Zillowmeskarune, thankyou so much for the excellent idea of having home on a seperate partition.21:45
InnxisZillow: you can stack them by: cp -rf21:45
meskaruneZillow:  you can do cp -r /home/username /home/newusername21:45

fsmHi all, I've got a quick question. Running 11.10, if I change window managers to xfce for instance, will everything still autostart? Particularly I have stuff in rc.local and want nm-applet, the power manager etc to autostart.21:53
ericusmeskarune: It happens randomly every 5-10 mins. If I close the lid and open it again, everything is ok again21:53
ericusfor another 5-10 mins21:54
meskarunefsm: anything in rc.local will auto start. you might have to add in some thing to xfce's start up control thingy21:54
tyleranyone know of an applet like indicator applet that doesn't have email linked to it?21:54
meskaruneericus: yeah, sounds like a loose inverter to me. it will eventually fail. you need to open the monitor and fix it. there are probably videos on youtube to show you how21:54
ericusthanks meskarune, I'll have a look at that21:55
meskaruneericus: sometimes the wires will be a bit corroded, so you clean with with alcohol and then re-soder or stick in a new inverter for your monitor21:55

__import__Jordan_U, already tried that21:59
codemonkey1337meskarune: Um...I...don't...know what that means, but I think so...I correctly forwared the ports from the host machine to the VM, and from the router to the host machine21:59
zykotic10codemonkey1337: 1) are you starting your SSH connection with "ssh -X hostname"  2) does your client actually have an Xorg running22:01
codemonkey13371) no, I have no idea what -x does and 2) yes it has an xorg display running22:01
meskarunecodemonkey1337: to connect to the virtual machine like it is a real computer on the network you need bridged networking. depending on what vm you are using, setting that up is different. you might check the wiki22:01
zykotic10codemonkey1337: -X enables xorg forwarding, important for what you are doing22:02
__import__Noone has any other idea as to this issue?22:02
codemonkey1337meskarune: would it help if I said I can connect the vnc viwer directly using port 5900? It works if I'm not doing it over ssh22:02

Zillowmeskarune, I'm using "cp -urv /root /home/zillow and it is making a directory labeled root in zillow.22:03

Zillowzykotic10, because I've been in root22:06
meskarunezillow: only do cp -urv /home/phase /home/newusername22:06
zykotic10Zillow: that makes no sense to me...22:06
ericusmeskarune: do you really think that it could be the inverter, since the screen is working good for 5-10mins?22:06
trismanonymous44: suggests are not installed by default, if you mean recommends, --no-install-recommends will disable them22:06

walid_saut22:27
meskaruneChipzzz: well, in any case, if it isn't a loose wire or the inverter, its not gonna be fixed easily. so he'll have to use an external monitor or get a new computer. :P but all the other times I ran into a montor looking like that it was the inverter. :)22:28

zykotic10prower: that' "generally" not a good idea BTW22:28
Jordan_Uprower: You're welcome. That said, installing nvidia drivers manually is usually a bad idea. Why do you want to do that?22:28
Chipzzzmeskarune: invertors & cables are pretty inexpensive, so even if it turns out to be something else, he won't have gone far wrong if he replaces them both :-)22:29
prowerin my case i'm installing them manually because with my card, and the versions of the official nvidia drivers that are used by default, i have a number of problems with unity...graphics corruption, occasionally freezing up the entire system and so on...with the latest drivers installed most of those bugs have been fixed22:30

prowerzykotic10, Jordan_U: ideally i wouldn't have to install them manually at all, but unfortunately canonical's one-size-fits-all approach to hardware drivers doesn't actually...fit all, so to speak :P i'd much rather be able to let dkms handle everything but if the repository drivers don't work properly for me, then i have to do it the hard way22:32

Timmyhi,where can i get download additional applications of ubuntu on a disc? im not on a fast connection and i need them to be on a disc, like additional discs of debian23:01
LjLkaiowas: "sudo apt-get install irssi" will get irssi installed with no need for doing any of that.23:01
kaiowasThank you23:01
meskarunesweetie_: you can rip the extra scenes to avi files as well. and handbrake has support for adding subtitles. read a tutorial on handbrake. unless you have a million gigs of space to waste on your computer. :P23:01

zykotic10Timmy: it creates a cd from teh installed programs on the other computer23:02
sweetie_meskarune: will i have the subtitel support, though?23:02
meskarunesweetie_: you NEED to rip to video files then. otherwise you'll use up all your disk space. one DVD = 8 GB23:02

Canadian1296I can't change the motd because it defaults back at the next login. How do I make it perminant?23:43
zykotic10Canadian1296: it appears motd.tail is copied over motd, perhaps try edit that file instead23:46
Canadian1296zykotic10: There is no motd.tail in /etc23:46
zykotic10Canadian1296: humm, in that case, just disregard my statement above ;)23:47
Canadian1296zykotic10: So how can I do it then?23:47
ChipzzzCanadian1296: Canadian1296 I think it actually does a "tail /etc/motd"23:47
zykotic10Chipzzz: no i did mean motd.tail, it's present on debian and older ubuntus23:48
Canadian1296Chipzzz zykotic10: It is motd.tail on older distro's of Ubuntu, but  am on 11.10. Any ideas?23:48
Chipzzzzykotic10: where is it?23:48
trismCanadian1296: the motd is updated by the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/23:48
zykotic10Canadian1296: nope sorry23:48
Canadian1296trism: Okay I'll take a look23:49
trismCanadian1296: you can always add /etc/motd.tail if you want it (I'm not sure what you are trying to do) 99-footer adds it23:49

SensivaHello, Is it safe to install wordpress from zip rather than from repos?23:50
WhiteEyeI need to generate an ssh key and stick id_dsa and id_dsa.pub in resources/ but I already have generated an ssh key for my backtrack ubuntu linux op23:51
ChipzzzSensiva: probably safer23:51
Canadian1296Sensiva: If you get the zip (i think its a tar archive actually) then yes23:51
zykotic10Sensiva: be aware you'd have to manually track any security update with wordpress if you manually install23:51
Riccardosalve a tutti23:51
Canadian1296Sensiva Chipzzz: I agree. Probably safer from an archive23:51

ubottuRiccardo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette)23:51
SensivaNow I am confused, which is safer? official release or the repos release?23:52
Chipzzzwhichever is newer & has the latest security patches23:53
cipher__  Sensiva official23:53
Canadian1296WhiteEye: What are you trying to do exactly? To ssh into the box just use "ssh user@ipaddress"23:53
Sensivazykotic10 do you mean automatical updateS?23:53
cipher__Couldn't the newer ones potentially have more overlooked bugs?23:53
zykotic10Sensiva: i recommend you use the ubuntu repo version, but do whatever you want.23:53
Canadian1296Sensiva: The archive from Wordpress.org is safest. But there is nothing wrong with using a repo, and it's a lot easier to update23:54
WhiteEyeCanadian1296: No, I need to put thoose two "keys" into a folder23:54
Chipzzzcipher__: with any luck, they eliminate bugs as they go along ;-)23:54

SensivaCanadian1296 how is this true? isn't ubuntu repos continuously patched for security?23:54
zykotic10Sensiva: yes it is23:55
Canadian1296WhiteEye: Ubuntu should generate any nessesary keys the first time you ssh in. Are you doing anything out of the ordinary?23:55
Sensivanow he is saying the official release from wordpress.org is safest :D23:55
Canadian1296Sensiva: Yes it is. Go with the repo. It's your best bet cause you can update with your package manager.23:55
zykotic10Sensiva: yes it is (re: isn't ubuntu repos continuously patched for security)23:55
dini have mistakenly upgraded to nfs 4. is it possible to downgrade to nfs version 3?23:56
WhiteEyeCanadian1296: yes. im editing a script so it fits my settings and I need to generate thoose keys and put them in the folder23:56
SensivaThank you all23:56
Canadian1296Sensiva: I am saying the archive is probably safest, but there is nothing wrong with the repo. Use the repo.23:56
SensivaCanadian1296 the repo version is old, and the skin I like needs 3.2+ while the version in the repos is 2.9.2 for lucid and 3.0.2 for oneiric23:57
Canadian1296WhiteEye: Are you having trouble generating the keys, or getting them in the folder?23:57
Canadian1296Sensiva: Then use the tar archive from wordpress.org23:57
WhiteEyewell. I`d say both. hehe23:57
WhiteEyeI thought I could use sshd:generate23:58
