[00:00] <Canadian1296> Earthcore: I'm not sure what you're asking...
[00:00] <puff_> new kernel is noticeably more robust with a perky response time
[00:00] <tech2> werdnativ: not until precise at a guess. Backports to PHP for lucid will be security fixes and cherry-picks, unless you use a ppa
[00:00] <werdnativ> curiously, dpkg -L php5-mysql shows an ini file for loading mysql.so extension, but there is no mysql.so library.
[00:01] <werdnativ> the problem is I'm missing the mysql.so and sqlite.so libs...
[00:02] <Freedom_> anyone able to help me configure grub? im already in over my head lol
[00:03] <tech2> Freedom_: why are you trying to configure grub?
[00:03] <Freedom_> to boot from 2 hard drives
[00:03] <Freedom_> i have got as far as installing grub customizer
[00:04] <_Marcus> Can someone help? I need to have tty start when the operating system loads. What do I do? I am in Rescue Mode and am on the command line in there.
[00:05] <cfhowlett> Freedom_: there's probably a hardware workaround...Install one OS per HDD.  On boot, hit the f## key to bring up the temporary boot options.  Specify and fly.
[00:05] <kenalex> hello
[00:05] <_Marcus> hi
[00:05] <cfhowlett> kenalex: greetings
[00:05] <Stanley00> _Marcus: what you mean by start tty? I think it will start automatically. And what is rescue mode? grub?
[00:05] <Freedom_> f## key?
[00:06] <kenalex> is ubuntu 10.04 best for development or should i go with 11.10 ?
[00:06] <mustafaerhann> f11 f9 or any F key that opens boot up menu when booting machine
[00:06] <Freedom_> okeydoke
[00:06] <mustafaerhann> for my asus board the key is F11
[00:06] <_Marcus> Stanley00: I booted the installation CD and went into Rescue Mode. It's not GRUB command line, it's bash. And I am at the root folder(/dev/sda1)
[00:06] <mustafaerhann> ok.
[00:06] <Stanley00> kenalex: there is bot best, and both of them are good too :D
[00:06] <Freedom_> thanks
[00:06] <_Marcus> Stanley00: Which is /
[00:06] <yvj> is there any ubuntu that is dedicated for biological applications apart from biolinux
[00:06] <cfhowlett> kenalex: I'd suggest LTS -but I'm not a dev.  Perhaps you want to ask @ #ubuntu-devel ?
[00:06] <_Marcus> Well, I'm really in sh
[00:07] <_Marcus> Now I'm in bash
[00:07] <_Marcus> So how do I edit what loads at startup(not when I log in, when the operating system starts up)
[00:07] <Stanley00> _Marcus: are you want to custom grub?
[00:07] <Stanley00> *customize*
[00:08] <_Marcus> Stanley00: No, I want to load tty by default. When I start up Ubuntu there is no command line to type in.
[00:08] <tech2> kenalex: depends what you mean by dev? What are you going to be doing?
[00:09] <overclucker> _Marcus: are there any ttyN.conf in /etc/init ?
[00:09] <Stanley00> _Marcus: oh, I see, you can boot up your Ubuntu normally, then edit a line in /etc/default/grub,
[00:09] <perfekt> I'm doing fsck -c, and it's been on the checking bad sectors part for 2 hours, stuck at 1.8%. Is my hard drive kaput?
[00:09] <tech2> ouch
[00:09] <_Marcus> overclucker: tty1.init to tty6.init
[00:10] <_Marcus> overclucker: No
[00:10] <_Marcus> overclucker: I maent
[00:10] <_Marcus> overclucker: meant*
[00:10] <tech2> perfekt: how big a drive?
[00:10] <_Marcus> overclucker: tty1.conf to tty6.conf
[00:10] <mustafaerhann> bb
[00:10] <cfhowlett> perfekt: www.newegg.com ... just in case.
[00:10] <perfekt> 300gb, running from a livedisc
[00:10] <Stanley00> _Marcus: change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="..." to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text", then run sudo update-grub
[00:10] <_Marcus> Stanley00: What file?
[00:11] <Stanley00> _Marcus: /etc/default/grub. I told you already
[00:11] <perfekt> So is my hard drive trash?
[00:12] <cfhowlett> perfekt: System>Administration>Disk Utility --- Disk is [  ]
[00:13] <cfhowlett> fill in the blank
[00:13] <_Marcus> YES! It worked!
[00:14] <_Marcus> Thank you Stanley00, overclucker, and everyone who helped :D
[00:14] <perfekt> running 9.04, see no disc utility :(
[00:14] <Stanley00> _Marcus: you are welcome ;)

[00:16] <perfekt> I am going to upgrade to 11.10 once I actually get ubuntu on the disc, just can't install from 11.10, so I'm doing an older install and upgrading from there.
[00:16] <Anthony_> hey i finally go grub to run on my dell any one ther that helped me before
[00:17] <Ben64> perfekt: why can't you install 11.10
[00:18] <perfekt> 11.10 has some issue with old graphics cards, grub doesn't start
[00:18] <perfekt> just blinking cursor

[00:25] <levitsky> Hi guiiiez
[00:26] <_Marcus> Hi levitsky
[00:26] <levitsky> any one knows why Anonops irc won't work ? :(
[00:28] <Ben64> levitsky: this is ubuntu support, not random irc server support
[00:28] <levitsky> Oh anonops has changed irc server
[00:28] <levitsky> irc.ly got noticed by fbi or so
[00:29] <levitsky> is the i2c shit available for ubuntu?
[00:31] <Hilikus> is there a file where firefox's session tabs are stored?
[00:32] <hiexpo> Hilikus, yah history
[00:32] <_Marcus> The iso that is mounted in Virtual Box isn't showing up in /media/, what is wrong?
[00:32] <Rurd2di> levitsky: WHERE HAVE THEY MOVED TOO?
[00:32] <Rurd2di> oops caps
[00:32] <Hilikus> hiexpo: weird name since it is not the history i want, but what's the file? where is it?
[00:33] <levitsky> Rurd2di: http://webchat.power2all.com/
[00:33] <hiexpo> Hilikus, whatyou want the recentlyclosed tabs is that what you are saying ?
[00:33] <levitsky> Rurd2di channel #anonops
[00:34] <hiexpo> Hilikus, oh i read wrong what you want maybe look in ./mozilla folder
[00:34] <Hilikus> hiexpo: no, the list of tabs open. when i restart firefox my old tabs are always there so there must be a file that says which tabs are open. i don't want the history
[00:34] <Hilikus> firefox crashed and i lost all my open tabs
[00:34] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: What's happening?
[00:34] <Hilikus> so i want to recover my session tabs from my backup
[00:34] <Hilikus> but i don;t know where they're stored
[00:34] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: I put in the iso in Virtual Box and Ubuntu isn't detecting it
[00:35] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: It's in the "disk drive" emulated by Virtual Box
[00:35] <hiexpo> Hilikus, you have rem history enabled with firefox ?
[00:35] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: did you install dkms?
[00:35] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: no
[00:35] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: What host are you running it on, and what iso did you attempt to use?
[00:35] <xubuntu5> how can i run $DISPLAY for one command and have it go to the display i want?
[00:35] <xubuntu5> or set it
[00:36] <Hilikus> hiexpo: yes, but again it is not the historyu i want! i don't want the pages that i was looking before, i want the pages that were OPEN
[00:36] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: how do I say this gently...please read the manual.  DETAILED instructions are provided in VirtubalBox Help menu for installing guest additions.
[00:36] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: It said it was installed
[00:36] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: thought you said no...
[00:37] <Nick> hello
[00:37] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: sometimes I've had to Ubuntu eject and VirtualBox Machine eject the ubuntu iso or the guest additions iso wouldn't read
[00:37] <hiexpo> Hilikus, if you have history disabled it will not rem them but if you tick the history and look it will show you the most recently closed tabs inwhich will be the ones that were open when you crashed
[00:37] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: It is the guest additions iso
[00:38] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: the guest iso does show up on the virtual buntu?
[00:38] <dagerik> If I have 600k pdf files of size 10kb each. Is it feasible to grep through all the text inside the pdf's?
[00:38] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: No, it's not showing up in Ubuntu.
[00:38] <dagerik> And is it possible? How?
[00:38] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: Are you using a gui or cli only install of ubuntu? And did you mount the cd in ubutu?
[00:39] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: cli
[00:39] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: I didn't mount it in Ubuntu. How do I do that?
[00:40] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: Then you have to mount it. You use the command "sudo mount /dev/<disk> /mnt" So the cd rom is in /dev, and you have to find out what it's called. If it was 123, you'd use "sudo mount /dev/123 /mnt"
[00:42] <zacarias> When trying to run gnome-tweak-tool, it crashes and I have this terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842455/   Any idea?
[00:44] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: Okay, type "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt" It will tell you it mounted read-only. Change to /mnt (cd /mnt) and run the install script
[00:44] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Thank you!
[00:45] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: No problem :)
[00:45] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: If you run into any problems installing it, let me know :)
[00:47] <zacarias> if I try to run gnome-tweak-tool I have this terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842455/    Any help?

[00:55] <bigtom21485> cfhowlett: what do you think?

[01:19] <theunholy> You can ssh with vftpd...

[01:20] <N3ffa> Im a little late to the question. what is the prob? I cant scroll up that far. :/
[01:20] <theunholy> I just thought vftpd was the one ubuntu server used
[01:20] <OerHeks> dunno, sounds like use port 20 ?
[01:20] <theunholy> http://pastebin.com/nu1sHfTU here is my conf for vstpd...clearly anonymous has the authority to create folders and upload files but it doesn't work.

[01:28] <theunholy> port 21 is the connection
[01:28] <theunholy> 22 is ssh
[01:29] <theunholy> both 20,21 and 22 are open on my Buffalo
[01:29] <N3ffa> well, considering you can connect and your doing within your LAN. I don't think your router is the problem.
[01:29] <theunholy> I agree
[01:29] <N3ffa> What ver of Ubuntu are you using/
[01:30] <theunholy> Ubuntu server 11.10 or whatever with ubundu desktop gui
[01:30] <theunholy> inside vmware on windows 7
[01:30] <N3ffa> ok, that should cause any problems.. the only thing I can think of causing a problem is possibly Windows Firewall.
[01:30] <levitsky> Will ACTA sue me if i got ASCII pr0n on my iGod Tablet?
[01:31] <levitsky> ohh
[01:31] <levitsky> wrong
[01:31] <levitsky> lol
[01:31] <theunholy> Windows firewall is dead and gone
[01:31] <theunholy> plus i tried from my phone too.
[01:31] <N3ffa> ok.
[01:31] <N3ffa> no firewall running on Ubuntu?
[01:31] <theunholy> Do i have to chmod any folders?
[01:31] <theunholy> I can access everything else dude...
[01:31] <N3ffa> that gives me an idea
[01:32] <theunholy> i can ssh, vnc, ftp, web...
[01:32] <N3ffa> Is anonymous or anon an actual user setup on your server? If so, then you should have to Chmod a folder you create as that user.
[01:32] <N3ffa> should not have to that is.
[01:32] <theunholy> No I never created a user account
[01:33] <theunholy> I thought it was in the config if you WANTED to you could dedicate a user to the ftp, but if not it just stored it on the current user
[01:34] <ariel__> does anybody know if ubuntu 11.10 corrected the dimming problem im experiencing
[01:34] <N3ffa> Sorry, I don't know enough about using anon for ftp. I have always created users on my box with very strict permissions for secure ftp and ssh.
[01:35] <N3ffa> anyone else have any insight?
[01:35] <theunholy> # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
[01:35] <theunholy> local_umask=022 someone said uncomment this
[01:35] <PastorBones> I just wish I could get rid of this crappy mac OS and put Ubuntu on this G5, but for the life of me can't figure out how to boot to CD!!!!
[01:35] <theunholy> This is a anonymous for uploading public like for phones etc
[01:36] <N3ffa> Pastorbbones.. hold down C when the mac boots
[01:36] <PastorBones> tried, didn't work
[01:36] <PastorBones> also the disc doesn't show in the list under startup disk utility thing
[01:37] <PastorBones> I burned the mini.iso, downloading the alt CD now to try it
[01:37] <N3ffa> Ummm.. I think I had to use the alt iso on my old G5 but that was a few years ago.
[01:38] <PastorBones> I'm using a wireless USB PC keyboard...could that be the problem?
[01:38] <od3n> anyone know how I would go about updating a system with out connectivity?
[01:38] <N3ffa> yes, it is
[01:39] <PastorBones> ugh...what about a wired USB PC keyboard?
[01:39] <N3ffa> That should work fine.
[01:39] <PastorBones> k, I'll try that...thx
[01:39] <N3ffa> Wireless keyboards "CAN" work but they usually don't.
[01:39] <N3ffa> for POST keyboard presses.
[01:40] <PastorBones> wouldn't the CD show up in startup disc either way though? only my hard drive is listed there
[01:40] <PastorBones> sorry, I don't know anything about MACs, despise them actually lol
[01:40] <theunholy> this is pissing me off
[01:40] <N3ffa> no, because Mac OS doesn't recognize the filesystem.
[01:41] <N3ffa> I'm on one right now LOL.
[01:41] <OerHeks> PastorBones,  did you download the intel or PPC iso ?
[01:41] <N3ffa> PPC
[01:41] <Wabs> .
[01:41] <N3ffa> G5 is PPC
[01:41] <OerHeks> oke, just to be sure
[01:42] <sgo11> hi, I have gnome3 gnome-shell installed in my ubuntu 11.10. is that possible to remove unity completely? I don't like it at all. don't want to have it in my disk. thanks a lot.
[01:42] <theunholy> ANYONE? Anonymous ftp with vsftpd...can't upload files or create folder...even tho I edited it in config...am i missing something?
[01:42] <ariel__> does anybody have the same dimming issue i have
[01:42] <SmartTowel> I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having the suspend/hibernate issue where it doens't come back from suspend mode.  Any solution for this?
[01:42] <PastorBones> I only accepted this free G5 when I heard you could install *nix on it
[01:42] <SmartTowel> @ariel, what is ur dimming issue?
[01:42] <N3ffa> you should be able to. I would youtube a howto. There are a ton of howto videos on Linux on a G5
[01:43] <myrkraverk> Hello.  When I install [kx]Ubuntu, can I tell it to leave my MBR alone?
[01:43] <OerHeks> PastorBones, all i know is the mactel pages > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#How_do_I_get_a_Mac_to_boot_from_CD.3F
[01:43] <ariel__> i checked the dimming and it doesnt work after more than five minutes it would dim
[01:44] <SmartTowel> Ubuntu doesn't return from sleep mode on my laptop.  Anyone else have this issue?
[01:45] <SmartTowel> I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having the suspend/hibernate issue where it doens't come back from suspend mode.  Any solution for this?
[01:45] <almoxarife> SmartTowel: on a dell?
[01:46] <SmartTowel> almoxarife: on a sony vio
[01:46] <SmartTowel> everything else is working perfect, this is the last thing and then i can be free from......cough, Windows.
[01:46] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: I figured out how to make it perminent. And i think cfhowlett left so if you're there say something :P
[01:47] <theunholy> ANYONE? Anonymous ftp with vsftpd...can't upload files or create folder...even tho I edited it in config...am i missing something?
[01:47] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Yeah, I did a whois and he's gone.
[01:47] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: So, how do you do it :D
[01:47] <damo22> PastorBones, hold option while it boots
[01:47] <Canadian1296> Okay, well that's too bad. I'll tell him later. Hang on I'll pastebin it.
[01:48] <SmartTowel> almoxarife: did u have a solution for Dell/
[01:48] <SmartTowel> ?
[01:48] <N3ffa> theunholy: Did you restart the vftp server after making the config changes?
[01:48] <theunholy> yes sire
[01:48] <N3ffa> Well, Im stumped. I will look around.. brb
[01:48] <almoxarife> SmartTowel: no, never have, still a mystery
[01:49] <joshritger> is there an app for changing gtk theme colors?
[01:49] <N3ffa> theunholy: http://www.wikihow.com/Setup-vsftpd-FTP-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[01:49] <N3ffa> that might help.. maybe?
[01:50] <ariel__> does anybody know where dconf-tools is located
[01:50] <almoxarife> SmartTowel: the suspend/restore process creates a log, have a look
[01:50] <N3ffa> type "whereis dconf-tools"
[01:50] <N3ffa> or "su whereis dconf-tools"
[01:50] <theunholy> ok if your saying i need to create a user account for this to work then thats it..
[01:50] <theunholy> cause i did not
[01:51] <N3ffa> it seems like you do.
[01:51] <theunholy> Can ANYONE else verify this with vsftpd?
[01:51] <OerHeks> theunholy, ah point 10, port set to 20 no
[01:51] <OerHeks> read it, it is all there
[01:51] <theunholy> what?
[01:51] <OerHeks> theunholy, see the url from N3ffa
[01:51] <N3ffa> lol
[01:51] <N3ffa> yeah, its pretty clear in that howto
[01:51] <Muska> where does ubuntu retrieve it's sata drivers from after it loads the initrd image?  I'm not seeing any in this image that I extracted
[01:52] <OerHeks> theunholy, or leave it, and connect to port 20
[01:52] <ruben23> hi guys
[01:52] <ruben23> whats the channel of ubuntu server
[01:53] <theunholy> 20 is correct
[01:53] <OerHeks> ruben23, try #Ubuntu-server
[01:53] <theunholy> for the data side
[01:53] <myrkraverk> Reasking: I want Ubuntu to leave my MBR alone - forever.  Preferably not to touch it when installing and never during updates -- which I have experienced before.  Is this possible?
[01:53] <joshritger> is there an app for editing gtk theme colors?
[01:55] <Edgan> In case anyone one was interested in my gdm question, the answer is, /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-set-default-session gnome-classic
[01:55] <N3ffa> nice Edgan
[01:56] <SmartTowel> I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having the suspend/hibernate issue where it doens't come back from suspend mode.  Anyone have a solution to fix this?
[01:56] <Canadian1296> joshritger: Who needs apps when you have the command line (Isn't Linux great? :) )?
[01:57] <PastorBones> why yesh Canadian1296 it is
[01:57] <Canadian1296> PastorBones: Just fyi there was no sarcasm intended.
[01:57] <joshritger> um, I don't like terminal that much, I know I have used an app for it before, but can't remember what it was
[01:57] <N3ffa> SmartTowel: That could be a number of problems but usually related to the power management of the actual machine your using. Google your machine, laptop or motherboard with linux and power management.
[01:58] <N3ffa> That will usually bring up a guide on setting up the correct pm settings.
[01:58] <SmartTowel> I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having the suspend/hibernate issue where it doens't come back from suspend mode.  Anyone have a solution to fix this?
[01:59] <N3ffa> SmartTowel: What kind of computer?
[02:00] <SmartTowel> N3ffa: a sony vaio laptop
[02:00] <N3ffa> ok, hold on a sec.
[02:00] <N3ffa> what model?
[02:00] <N3ffa> I will look up your motherboard settings.
[02:01] <SmartTowel> pcg-61611L
[02:01] <lion42> SmartTowel, are you selecting suspend, or hibernate?
[02:01] <_Marcus> So Canadian1296: Did you get it?
[02:01] <SmartTowel> i was trying with suspend.
[02:01] <SmartTowel> actually, i was just closing the lid.
[02:01] <SmartTowel> which defaults to suspend in gnome i believe
[02:02] <lion42> My particular laptop, a lenovo thinkpad t420is suffers from a similar issue: it can suspend and resume just fine, and it can hibernate just fine, but it aint coming back from hibernation.
[02:02] <SmartTowel> lion42: did u have to do anyting for it to work? or did it already work?
[02:02] <lion42> If I slip and hit "hibernate", I need to reboot.
[02:02] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: Yes I did, but I'm an idiot so I didn't back up the original config files first. I had a snapshot so I restored and re did it just to work out a couple bugs. I'll post it now
[02:03] <lion42> SmartTowel, unfortunately, it does not appear to have a solution. I'd suggest trying manually suspending and manually hibernating to see if your computer can come back from either of those.
[02:03] <N3ffa> try this http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug
[02:04] <N3ffa> not sure if it will work for the new version.
[02:05] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: By couple bugs, I mean it screwed up the grub boot menu. There was several repeated options and they were marked as "old installs". But now I have it working properly. Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842521/ :)

[02:08] <Canadian1296> !patience | kurtcocaine
[02:08] <Dr_willis> kurtcocaine:  theres a fontset, or setfont command that can change the console fonts. theres a systemconfig file that defines the default font also. in /etc/ somewhere i recall
[02:08] <Canadian1296> theunholy: What exactly do you need to do? Set the owner, permissions, what?
[02:09] <kurtcocaine> Dr_willis: thanks
[02:09] <theunholy> chmod the user dir so the user can ftp?
[02:09] <Dr_willis> kurtcocaine:  i recall ages ago the webupd8 or askubuntu blog site having a guide on differnt terminal/console fonts
[02:10] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Thanks :D But it's a bit big. I'll mess around with the settings, see what I can do to make it fit my screen size.
[02:11] <paiooo> Hi, just upgrade my ubuntu to 12.04. Then have problem with dnsmasq, it can't resolv hostname listed in /etc/hosts if it is not listed at the top of /etc/resolv.conf
[02:11] <Anthony_> that didnt help
[02:11] <paiooo> if 127.0.0.1 at the top of /etc/resolv.conf, then it can't resolv external IP (e.g. google.com)
[02:11] <kurtcocaine> Dr_willis: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/7-of-best-ubuntu-terminal-fixed-width.html
[02:11] <kurtcocaine> thanks
[02:12] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: Yeah I fixed the bug though. You got version 2 :P And that's just the size I used. I recommend editing the commands per boot (shift while booting, e) and changing the numbers till you find something you like, then rerunning the mod I sent :)
[02:13] <Dr_willis> kurtcocaine:  thats not for the console  - but the terminals. http://askubuntu.com/questions/63824/can-i-change-the-linux-console-ctrlaltf1-font-to-ubuntu-mono
[02:13] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: Oops, I read that wrong. I thought you said it's a big bug, not its a bit big. And like I said, mess with the numbers, then once you find a good one use the instuctions I gave you
[02:13] <Dr_willis>  setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/UbuntuMono-R-8x16.psf
[02:14] <Dr_willis> or whatever font psf file you want. :)
[02:14] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Okay, thanks!
[02:14] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: No problem :)

[02:21] <Canadian1296> _Marcus: I honestly have no idea. I tried using "vga=791" but it informed me it is depreciated and to use "gfxpayload=1024x768x16, 1024x768" so i found a way to get it automatically included in the grub config. I'm guessing here, but its probably the color bit depth. Like 1024 width, 768 height, 16 bit color.
[02:21] <_Marcus> Ah

[02:41] <Headcase> Hello :)
[02:42] <Headcase> Is this the right channel to ask technical questions for Ubuntu?
[02:44] <Wabs> Yea
[02:44] <Headcase> Great!
[02:44] <Headcase> I have a problem, I hope someone can help me, I'm a Linux noob...
[02:45] <Wabs> Same here Headcase but I have been watching and these guys know their stuff
[02:46] <N3ffa> Headcase: Shoot your question away.
[02:46] <Headcase> My laptop (Running Ubuntu 10.04) won't boot into the OS as far as I can tell, it gives me the message "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg". The LiveCD won't mount the drive either.
[02:47] <N3ffa> Did anything change (config wise) or hardware wise before you go the error?
[02:48] <Headcase> No, nothing changed, but the machine overheated and shut down before this happened. (It's a Toshiba Satellite, they're prone to overheating)
[02:49] <N3ffa> hrm, sounds like your drive got corrupted or failed... I can't be sure but if the default init isn't booting than that's likely the problem. Especially if the LiveCD isn't mounting the drive.
[02:50] <Headcase> Bugger. Is there any way to recover my data from the drive?
[02:50] <diamonds> how do I pipe to the clipbaord?
[02:50] <N3ffa> before ruling out a bad drive, you can try to format it again. You will lose everything but if it's just a curupted filesystem than that should work.
[02:50] <N3ffa> Not if you can't mount it
[02:50] <N3ffa> what error do you get when you try to mount it from livecd
[02:50] <root____> ccd
[02:51] <shellcode84> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8748384
[02:51] <N3ffa> Headcase, follow shellcode84's link and do a fsck firs.
[02:51] <N3ffa> first.
[02:52] <N3ffa> I can't believe I didn't think of that. <bang head on desk>
[02:52] <Headcase> No error, it just doesn't do anything. If I try to access it again ("97 GB File System") it says "unable to mount 67 GB filesystem, a DBus error, and "An operation is already pending".
[02:52] <shellcode84> lmaoo
[02:52] <Headcase> Thanks, I'll try the link. :)

[03:01] <urfr332g0> Anthony_, outline your problem and we will see eh. :)
[03:03] <jacob__> actually, I added a vpn connection and it added a new route, and I don have access to the internet because I think that the metric of the new vpn route is used
[03:03] <jacob__> so how can i change that so my old route will be used
[03:03] <jacob__> thanks
[03:03] <wolfric> which ubuntu package would Math::Random::Secure be in?
[03:04] <Anthony_> 	i just installed xubuntu, did these commands https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and now i get this now i see (initramfs)
[03:04] <hatop> One way would be to remove the vpn connection
[03:04] <jacob__> hatop: Yeah but I want the vpn connection, it connects me to work
[03:04] <hatop> hmmm
[03:04] <hatop> I don't have much experience with the vpn tools
[03:05] <hatop> I just use secure hop in points for my work connections
[03:05] <jacob__> hatop: thx anyway

[03:42] <urfr332g0> Lesterwood, your on the wrong channel.
[03:44] <Lesterwood> my dream is to get a masters degree in Electical engineering, get a Batchelors in Applied math, Perhaps a masters in material science while working in research development at some university
[03:44] <urfr332g0> Lesterwood, you a bot?
[03:44] <bazhang> Lesterwood, please take chit chat elsewhere. this is ubuntu support
[03:45] <cfhowlett> Lesterwood: do you have an ubuntu support question?  IF not please see #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:45] <Lesterwood> what do you think of my dream
[03:45] <bazhang> Lesterwood, its offtopic
[03:45] <clone1018> (one more time sorry) so I have ubuntu running awesome with my ATI Radeon 6850, but there's one problem, the main monitor, for some reason it wont let me change it to monitor #1 (in the center), it instead puts it on #3 (far left), (3 monitor setup)
[03:47] <urfr332g0> clone1018, move the monitors
[03:47] <clone1018> move the actual monitors?
[03:47] <clone1018> I have this monitor the center monitor for a reason
[03:47] <N3ffa> clone1018. Wish I could help. The only thing I can think of is either move the monitors or find the config file (usually in /etc) and do some digging.
[03:47] <Anthony_> can any on hel me
[03:47] <urfr332g0> clone1018, seems like the easiest solution
[03:48] <N3ffa> urfr332g0: Yeah, and easy is NOT usually the best solution. LOL
[03:48] <clone1018> Trust me, not the easiest solution, is there a option I'm missing on the catalyst control center or in the actual command?/
[03:48] <N3ffa> especially with Linux. :)
[03:48] <Lesterwood> basically, my dream is to become a intellectual and a academic, and pay my debt to society
[03:48] <bazhang> Lesterwood, stop that
[03:48] <N3ffa> can he be kicked by an op?
[03:48] <clone1018> he's a bot

[03:48] <sgo11> anyone know is that possible to remove unity completely? thanks.
[03:49] <bazhang> !notunity | sgo11
[03:49] <cfhowlett> Lesterwood: as evidenced by your continued and deliberate flouting of this channel' protocols?
[03:49] <urfr332g0> N3ffa, funny it was in your response as well, groud yourself now. :)
[03:49] <OerHeks> Lesterwood, do that, and start listening to bazhang
[03:49] <N3ffa> sgo11: I'm not sure. I would try sudo dpkg -r unity but that's just a wild educated guess.
[03:49] <urfr332g0> ground*
[03:49] <jimi_> This a fresh install, sometimes my mouse freezes, but the system still responds to keyboard input. I have to CTRL-ALT-F1 to a terminal kill X, and restart it to get the mouse to work again
[03:49] <cfhowlett> N3ffa: not sure that won't break some things...
[03:49] <N3ffa> lol, ok
[03:50] <sgo11> bazhang, I have gnome-shell running already. I just want to remove unity completely.
[03:50] <bazhang> sgo11, no idea about that really
[03:51] <N3ffa> cfhowlett: I don't see what it would break? You don't NEED it and gnome 3 works fine without it.
[03:51] <sgo11> N3ffa, ok. thanks. just wondering if anyone did that already without problems.
[03:51] <N3ffa> there are no deps its tied to that will get removed if something else installed needs those deps
[03:51] <cfhowlett> N3ffa: as I said, I'm not sure...if your mileage gets you there safe and sound, go for it.
[03:52] <N3ffa> let me check.. Im gonna do it right now on one of my boxes.. brb
[03:53] <Anthony_> hello any one free
[03:53] <N3ffa> you can do it but you may need to apt-install get lighdm as well
[03:53] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: ask away
[03:53] <N3ffa> lightdm rather.
[03:53] <N3ffa> I had to to get the login screen to work.
[03:53] <Anthony_> 	i just installed xubuntu, did these commands https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and now i get this now i see (initramfs)
[03:53] <N3ffa> as long as you do apt-get install gdm
[03:53] <N3ffa> then apt-get install lightdm
[03:54] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: on dual boot?
[03:54] <N3ffa> then dpkg -r unity
[03:54] <N3ffa> yoru good
[03:54] <Anthony_> no
[03:54] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: what buntu release?
[03:54] <Anthony_> xbuntu
[03:54] <N3ffa> or more specifically to remove unity... sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications unity-greeter unity-common unity-asset-pool unity-2d-launcher unity-2d libunity-misc4 libunity-2d-private0 gir1.2-unity-4.0
[03:55] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: ##.## 10.10 11.10 what?
[03:55] <Anthony_> '11
[03:55] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: 11.04 or 11.10 then.  OK.  is this a clean install, not an upgrade?
[03:55] <Anthony_> 10
[03:56] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: Did you upgrade from a previous version or did you do a clean installation?
[03:56] <urfr332g0> N3ffa, you forget how to use a nic?
[03:57] <Anthony_> lean
[03:57] <Anthony_> clean
[03:59] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: obviously your grub didn't install properly.  Why?  Let's check: did you download the iso?
[03:59] <Anthony_> yes
[03:59] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: and did you checksum the iso before burning to cdrom or to USB
[04:00] <Anthony_> i got from website
[04:00] <bazhang> Anthony_, did you md5 the iso , yes or no
[04:00] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: did you checksum the iso?
[04:00] <Lesterwood> oh yes my other dream is to have a entire room full of guns and ammo
[04:00] <Anthony_> no
[04:00] <Anthony_> whats that mean
[04:00] <bazhang> Anthony_, then do so
[04:01] <cfhowlett> Anthony_: always checksum...always.
[04:01] <Anthony_> how you do that
[04:01] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|anthony
[04:02] <bazhang> !hashes | Anthony_
[04:02] <Anthony_> how ytou open it

[04:22] <psawaya> cfhowlett: thanks! i see "recovery mode" on the boot screen, is that what you mean?
[04:23] <bazhang> Anthony_, the md5sums do not match?
[04:23] <cfhowlett> yep.  now try Login to the console (ctrl-alt-f2) and issue the command: export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
[04:23] <cfhowlett> psawaya: and then reboot

[04:24] <cfhowlett> psawaya: /fsck!  yes!

[04:25] <Anthony_> yes cmd comands dont work i have windows 7
[04:25] <bazhang> Anthony_, what *exactly * did not work. please explain. just saying "doesn't work" will not get much help
[04:25] <javierf_> hi! I got a new hard drive and installed ubuntu and windows 7 (in that order). But I can't see windows 7 in grub. I have try "default grub repair in ubuntu-boot-repair with no success. Any idea how to fix this? thanks!
[04:26] <Anthony_> command not reconized
[04:26] <psawaya> cfhowlett: ok, doing that! serious noob question, could modifying .pam_environment be the cause of this?
[04:26] <cfhowlett> javierf_: suggested install order is win7 then ubuntu..  ubuntu wiped the win7 Mbr.  win7 is there
[04:27] <cfhowlett> psawaya: SWOOSH!  over my head IDK

[04:32] <warhell> anyone around?
[04:32] <cfhowlett> warhell: ask away
[04:33] <javierf_> cfhowlett, waw, it seems complicated...
[04:34] <warhell> alright, i got these rt3070 ralink sta drivers, and they didnt put a ./configure in there folder, so it wants me to change some make files too asking for gcc and lbw paths or something like that, then cfg flags
[04:34] <DanaG> say, anyone know what would make gnome interpret the letter 'd' as if it were super+d?
[04:34] <warhell> i dont know where those paths are at.
[04:34] <DanaG> Or rather, Unity 2D.
[04:34] <cfhowlett> javierf_: thus the recommended install of windows THEN ubuntu.  Still less complicated than re-installing both - and I pretty guarantee you'll never mix the order again.
[04:34] <DanaG> I type, and I can't type the letter "d" because it's apparently bound -- with no modifiers -- to "show desktop"
[04:35] <javierf_> cfhowlett, hehehe, yes, probably won't mix it again... but it's strange anyway, because I did it before in the same order I did now, and didn't find the problem
[04:35] <cfhowlett> javierf_: grub2 is fickle

[05:04] <NeonLightning> i can't seem to figure out how to get 12.04 to use xfce by default. i've tried changing everything in update-alternatives to use it
[05:05] <urfr332g0> NeonLightning, you choose xfce at login, and the precise channel is #ubuntu+1
[05:05] <NeonLightning> oh ok thanks
[05:05] <hiexpo> NeonLightning, i think you have to do it at login
[05:05] <hiexpo> oops to late
[05:05] <urfr332g0> NeonLightning, what ever the last desktop choice is the default.
[05:05] <skilz> NeonLightning, echo exec xfce >> .xinitrc
[05:06] <urfr332g0> skilz, not needed.
[05:10] <VICTICOM_> Hello
[05:13] <macmartine> Can anyone help me figure out why I keep getting "monit: cannot read status from the monit daemon" when I run something like 'monit status' ?
[05:17] <pVi> Somewhat of a noob here: I'm getting an error when trying to install openssh-server (Ubuntu 10.04, PowerPC eMac)
[05:17] <pVi> size mismatch is the error
[05:19] <sgo11> hi, where can I download onboard theme? I run onboard --help, it shows it has -t THEME option. thanks.
[05:20] <victicom> first time I ever hear of an onboard theme, man.
[05:21] <sgo11> victicom, :) the default UI is too ugly.
[05:21] <victicom> I, myself, am learning to use IRC channels atm.
[05:21] <victicom> For Ubuntu?
[05:22] <sgo11> default onboard UI.
[05:22] <victicom> I obviously have to google that, lol.
[05:23] <urfr332g0> sgo11, 4 release and 4 desktops may help to identify you setup.
[05:23] <urfr332g0> your
[05:24] <urfr332g0> sgo11, at the least in desktops that is.
[05:24] <pVi> So... I'm getting an error when trying to install openssh-server (Ubuntu 10.04, PowerPC eMac) -- size mismatch error.
[05:24] <sgo11> urfr332g0, sorry, I don't get what you mean... I was asking where to get more onboard themes.
[05:25] <urfr332g0> sgo11, for which release and desktop there are multiples, especially when kubuntu is a whole other setup Dteails is the key word for help.
[05:26] <urfr332g0> details
[05:26] <victicom> sgo, I would guess he's asking for your Distribution (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, other...) and Desktop Environment (GNOME, KDE, Unity, other... )
[05:27] <warhell> this the offical ubuntu channel
[05:27] <warhell> ?
[05:27] <urfr332g0> 10.04 10.10 11.04 11.10 releases
[05:27] <sgo11> oh. just got it. running ubuntu 11.10. gnome shell.
[05:27] <victicom> that, too...
[05:27] <victicom> pVi... I'm googling your stuff, lets see what I can find out.
[05:27] <pVi> thanks victicom
[05:27] <victicom> I'm a noob, man... so... don't get your hopes up too high.
[05:28] <warhell> okay
[05:28] <warhell> man
[05:28] <warhell> anyone know how to install rt3070 drivers with a 3.2 percise kernel on 11.10?
[05:29] <hearno_> does anyone know what the proper permissions might be for a .pub in an /etc/ssh/%u/authorized_keys directory?
[05:29] <sgo11> onboard keyboard has four themes by default. they all look ugly. gnome shell screen keyboard looks much nicer, but it does not have ctrl, alt buttons.
[05:29] <linqer> 貌似是可以的
[05:30] <linqer> 但是客户端是哪个，麻烦给我讲一下
[05:30] <hiexpo> warhell, check aircrack-ng they are lastest with drivers

[05:30] <Nu-Newbie> Hi. I'm asking this question here because I trust the Ubuntu community. Does it matter where you download your Android apps from? Are most of the sites the same?
[05:30] <warhell> not with my 3.2 kernel its not
[05:30] <hiexpo> wow flood
[05:30] <victicom> sgo... I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a virtual machine... on main I use Kubuntu... why? because of unity, lol.
[05:31] <linqer> oh，YEAH!! I see
[05:31] <victicom> pVi http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1728894
[05:31] <victicom> Does that ^^ help?
[05:31] <urfr332g0> Nu-Newbie, ubuntu support. :)
[05:31] <warhell> i have the drivers
[05:31] <hiexpo> warhell, sure it is we work on kernels daily
[05:31] <Nu-Newbie> urfr332g0 thanks ooops
[05:31] <warhell> okay then why is a deb doing this
[05:31] <linqer> anyone learn java here /

[05:32] <pVi> i just figured it out victicom
[05:32] <pVi> thanks
[05:32] <victicom> Use Kubuntu, then.
[05:32] <urfr332g0> linqer, this is ubuntu support. :)
[05:32] <victicom> No problem, pVi
[05:32] <sgo11> victicom, ubuntu is fine. I am running gnome-shell, much better. if I want to try kde, i will use opensuse instead of kubuntu.
[05:33] <xjiujiu> :p
[05:33] <victicom> linquer... why do you ask about java?
[05:33] <linqer> Jak2000:  You learn java well? what books you learn
[05:33] <Jak2000> linqer my preferred site is javaranch here recommend some books
[05:33] <linqer> victicom: I can ask about java here ?
[05:33] <cfhowlett> !ot
[05:34] <nathan28> linqer: #java
[05:34] <victicom> i think ubottu just answered your question, lol.
[05:34] <Jak2000> :)
[05:34] <victicom> I'll join #java
[05:34] <Jak2000> why not koin to #java channel?
[05:34] <urfr332g0> linqer, that is offtopic there a number of java channels try #java
[05:34] <Jak2000> *join
[05:34] <xjiujiu> how to update the subversion from 1.6.x to 1.7.x version?
[05:35] <linqer> victicom: yes i will go java
[05:35] <victicom> I don't think there's a freenode channel for Java, is there?
[05:35] <victicom> lets see...
[05:36]  * warhell sighs
[05:36] <urfr332g0> victicom, yes the one we posted and afew others related to distros
[05:36] <linqer> how can i change my channel to java ？
[05:36] <Jak2000> use /j java
[05:36] <urfr332g0> linqer, /join #jave
[05:36] <somsip> xjiujiu: only via PPA for now, but be aware that an upgrade will make permanent changes to the data in .svn that cannot be undone. Make sure you really want to do this
[05:37] <hiexpo> #java
[05:37] <urfr332g0> linqer, sorry /join #java
[05:37] <linqer> #java
[05:37] <victicom> does not work... not on freenode for some reason
[05:37] <urfr332g0> linqer, like I posted it with the /join
[05:37] <Jak2000> use /j java
[05:37] <hiexpo> sure it does
[05:37] <overclucker> ##java
[05:37] <hiexpo> freenode     #java
[05:38] <linqer> urfr332g0: thanks ,but I can not ,i enter  /join #java
[05:38] <urfr332g0> linqer, you just did
[05:38] <sgo11> linqer, no space before /join.
[05:39] <warhell> i dont even wanna use it for packet injection
[05:39] <warhell> i just want it as a wifi adapter
[05:39] <warhell> :(
[05:39] <linqer> !cn
[05:39] <overclucker> it's /join ##java
[05:39] <sgo11> LOL. I saw many people joined #java from this channel except linqer.
[05:39] <xjiujiu> somsip: Yes I'm sure.Could you give the ppa address?
[05:39] <victicom> I see #javahelp, no #java, though
[05:40] <victicom> Maybe I'm just not seeing something...
[05:40] <damo22> its ##java ffs
[05:40] <hiexpo> hola pangolin > idleone how it goes ?
[05:40] <urfr332g0> overclucker, your correct sorry about that
[05:40] <somsip> xjiujiu: I don't have it. I found it easily before by searching.
[05:40] <sgo11>  /join #java does work.
[05:40] <Jak2000> use /j java
[05:40] <damo22> "/join ##java" works too
[05:41] <damo22> how many cooks do you need to make a pudding?
[05:41]  * warhell sighs
[05:41] <Jak2000> i am need a beer
[05:41] <hiexpo> not many
[05:41] <damo22> theres way too many cooks in here
[05:41] <warhell> so no one can help?
[05:41] <quiescens> depends on how many of the cooks know how to make the pudding in question?
[05:42] <meskarune> ya'll should just use pm more :P
[05:42] <ak47_> Sup niggas.
[05:42] <hiexpo> warhell, > again what was your problem? I thought I gave you the answer?
[05:43] <warhell> no you didn't
[05:43] <urfr332g0> warhell, don't sigh, precise kernels would not be supported.
[05:43] <warhell> aircrack for one doesnt have my drivers
[05:44] <warhell> i have a rt3070 device, and apprently over google, no one has found a solution and no tutorial in installing it either.
[05:44] <damo22> warhell, if youre trying to crack stuff you probably be better compiling your own tools
[05:44] <victicom> I still can't get any result out of "/join # #java" even tried "/join ##java" ... nothing.
[05:44] <hiexpo> warhell, ok whats your card again and what chipset ?
[05:44] <warhell> so if you ask me its a big enough issues to come here and ask a offical channel
[05:44] <meskarune> victicom: do
[05:45] <meskarune> victicom: do "/join #java" without qutoes in your irc chat
[05:45] <victicom> I know... I don't type the quotes, lol.
[05:45] <warhell> i have a alfa awu36nh, it uses rt3070 chipset
[05:45] <victicom> Still, though... nothing happens.
[05:45] <victicom> Let me try again
[05:45] <urfr332g0> !language | ak47_
[05:45] <meskarune> what client are you using victicom?
[05:45] <pangolin> victicom: ##java requires you to register your nick
[05:45] <victicom> quassel
[05:45] <victicom> AH!
[05:45] <pangolin> !register | victicom
[05:45] <victicom> That will do.
[05:46] <warhell> i got the drivers, but i dont know where compiler paths and cflags and so on, and they didnt have a ./configure like most do.
[05:46] <meskarune> warhell: read the .readme file?
[05:46] <warhell> yes i have
[05:46] <warhell> i dont know where the paths are
[05:46] <meskarune> that will tell you how to install
[05:47] <warhell> yeah if i knew where the paths was
[05:47] <warhell> :(
[05:47] <meskarune> warhell: use the find or locate command to find stuff
[05:47] <hiexpo> warhell, that is wrong > maybe awus036nh
[05:47] <warhell> yes i been on google for awhile.
[05:47] <damo22> warhell: find the paths... kernel stuff is in /usr/src/linux-header<blah>
[05:48] <warhell> i know where kernel is
[05:48] <warhell> nevermind
[05:48] <meskarune> lol
[05:48] <warhell> yall arent really helping.
[05:48] <nathan28> warhell: echo $PATH
[05:48] <warhell> i been on google for 3 hrs
[05:48] <warhell> reading shit
[05:48] <warhell> that doesnt help
[05:48] <warhell> and no one knows
[05:48] <meskarune> warhell: you are trying to compile drivers. do what the read me says to do
[05:48] <nathan28> warhell: we all have nights where out google-fu sucks
[05:48] <damo22> warhell: you cant expect someone in a channel to know exactly how to compile a specific driver from the net without reading the manual
[05:48] <hiexpo> warhell, not that hard
[05:49] <linqer> i can enter other channels ,but i cannot enter java ,anyone know why ? thanks
[05:49] <warhell> other wise i would done it by a tutorial.
[05:49] <warhell> i have read the read me
[05:49] <warhell> i knwo what its asking
[05:49] <meskarune> what does the readme say?
[05:49] <warhell> i just dont know paths
[05:49] <damo22> warhell: what is it asking?
[05:49] <nathan28> warhell: you are writing your own drivers?
[05:49] <meskarune> warhell: use the locate command to find the paths you want
[05:50] <hiexpo> warhell, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=awus036nh
[05:50] <damo22> hiexpo: thats funny
[05:51] <hiexpo> well
[05:51] <pangolin> actually it isn't. considering we already told you about using lmgtfy links in #ubuntu
[05:52] <warhell> i already did that
[05:52] <warhell> i got the drivers
[05:52] <warhell> i know how to compile my own ubuntu kernel
[05:52] <warhell> nevermind you guys don't know shit
[05:52] <damo22> warhell: cat readme | pastebinit
[05:52] <warhell> yet trying to help people and say google it
[05:52] <warhell> i been on google for 3 damn hrs
[05:52] <nathan28> warhell: 3 hrs? OMG
[05:53] <Yabden> better switch to altavista then
[05:53] <damo22> warhell the answer lies in your readme file
[05:53] <nathan28> that's like,
[05:53] <warhell> the kernel was 2x easier to do than this fucking shit
[05:53] <nathan28> a week of community college classes
[05:53] <nathan28> just another 32 of them and you'll have an assoc's degree
[05:53] <damo22> lolmygod tify
[05:54] <pangolin> please avoid making unhelpful comments
[05:54] <pangolin> all it does it aggravate the person seeking help and distract.
[05:54] <meskarune> warhell: everything is simple with the right documentation
[05:54] <damo22> hes gone
[05:54] <meskarune> oh
[05:55] <urfr332g0> linqer, ##java requires you to register your nick

[06:01] <nathan28> meskarune: ? a define starts w/ a #
[06:01] <damo22> warhell: you have to edit 2 files, Makefile and os/linux/config.mk
[06:02] <nathan28> n/m i'm not thinking clearly
[06:02] <damo22> warhell: did you open them with an editor
[06:02] <meskarune> nathan28: yeah it does

[06:10] <Evilkiss> pangolin: thank you
[06:10] <hiexpo> warhell, what do you need a driver for Internet or what > you want the answer or not
[06:11] <mpgutta> hi, i have 2 machines in my LAN with ips 192.168.0.125, 192.168.0.126 i would like to connect to mongo db on .125 from .126,  when i tried "mongo --host 192.168.0.125" its giving error "couldn't connect: couldn't connect to server 192.168.0.125 192.168.0.125:27017 (anon):1030" how to enable port 27017 on .125 machine to connect from .126?
[06:11] <gurifisu> when i install a new library and its headers - which folder do they end up in usually?
[06:12] <meskarune> mpgutta; open the port on your router
[06:12] <hiexpo> funny me and zero_chaos just worked on that driver for 4 days
[06:12] <meskarune> hiexpo: he/she is trying to get aircrack working
[06:13] <warhell> no i'm not
[06:13] <hiexpo> meskarune, hehe
[06:13] <warhell> and i'm talking to damo22 in priv
[06:13] <mpgutta> meskarune, i run this command on .125 machine "iptables -A INPUT  -p tcp -s 192.168.0.126 --dport 27017 -j ACCEPT", do you mean something else?
[06:13] <warhell> if i wanted to do that i would install backtrack
[06:13] <meskarune> warhell: there isn't anything wrong with using aircrack, and you said earlier you were
[06:13] <warhell> instead of ubuntu 11.0
[06:13] <warhell> 11.10
[06:13] <subb1> http://pastebin.com/3YTi3gVM  are the errors before the initramfs login prompt
[06:14] <warhell> no i didnt
[06:14] <nathan28> does BT not have the patched drivers?
[06:14] <cyphase> is there some utility that will take a directory with almost 150,000 files and separate them out into directories with fewer files?
[06:14] <warhell> hexpo said too look in aircrack-ng
[06:14] <sun_devil> Cant seem to get my kodak esp 7 printer to print.  I looked in the database list for the printer and its not mentioned in it
[06:14] <nathan28> cyphase: how
[06:14] <warhell> i said the drivers arent there, and also i was just wanting it for internet connecting
[06:14] <hiexpo> won't work in backtrack either because wrong kernel and me and zero just matered that last night   hehe \
[06:14] <nathan28> !g regex
[06:14] <warhell> im not asking for patched injection drivers
[06:15] <warhell> i'm asking for standard ralink driver installtion help
[06:15] <beata> xubuntu/oneiric: So far, so good.
[06:15] <hiexpo> warhell, for just internet?
[06:15] <meskarune> subb1: http://www.proposedsolution.com/solutions/ubuntu-booting-to-initramfs-prompt/
[06:15] <nathan28> cyphase: what are you doing w/ 150k files
[06:16] <cyphase> nathan28, it's a dataset i got from somewhere else
[06:16] <nathan28> cyphase: is there any sort of sequence to the filenames or is it a bunch of crap
[06:17] <cyphase> nathan28, there's some kind of pattern.. haven't figured it out yet :P
[06:17] <subb1> meskarune: but do not have ubuntu installed on ntfs partition
[06:17] <cyphase> i can write a script to do it fairly easily, i just wondered if there was some standard utility i could use
[06:17] <subb1> meskarune: its on ext4
[06:17] <nathan28> do that then figure out the regex for the pattern
[06:17] <warhell> yeah just inet
[06:17] <mpgutta> meskarune: if i open a port on router, any external ip can connect to this machine on that port right?
[06:18] <hiexpo> 1 sec
[06:18] <sun_devil> The list in Ubuntu for Kodak printer is about 5
[06:18] <meskarune> mpgutta: you can limit what ip's use the port, or have it be lan only. check your router's manual
[06:18] <mpgutta> meskarune: ok sure.
[06:18] <somsip> mpgutta: no, you need to add a route from the router to the PC
[06:19] <nathan28> cyphase: thunar has some "user friendlY" X( bulk features yo umight try
[06:19] <nathan28> but i'd think scrpiting it would be easier
[06:19] <nathan28> *scripting

[06:19] <nathan28> than installing a pkg
[06:19] <cyphase> nathan28, i just searched for dirsplit, because that made sense, and voila: http://linux.die.net/man/1/dirsplit
[06:20] <warhell> yep already downloaded the offical one
[06:20] <warhell> but it has not ./configure
[06:21] <ak47_> Sup niggas.
[06:21] <hiexpo> warhell, works great using it right now
[06:21] <meskarune> subb1: i see. can you do initramfs-update   ?
[06:21] <cfhowlett> ak47_: it was tired the first time...
[06:22] <hiexpo> there is no configure warhell make make install read the read me

[06:25] <hiexpo> hubcap
[06:25] <overclucker> subb1: it doesn
[06:26] <overclucker> erm
[06:26] <meskarune> subb1: you need to fsck your drive from a live cd.
[06:27] <overclucker> subb1: it doesn't look like / is being mounted. you may need to run fsck on your / partition
[06:27] <_Brun0_> Trying to install google-chrome (not chromium) and keep getting 404 not found. Can anyone see if they get the same error? I'm trying through this method: https://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?brand=CHMO&installdataindex=homepagepromo . I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, amd64bits version.
[06:27] <hiexpo> sorry to say v=but about as smart as a box of rocks  group > some people just refuse to learn
[06:27] <victicom> _Brun0_, for some reason, its been acting up today.
[06:28] <monra> Hello! My laptop screen's right part doesn't work. So I was wondering, is there a way to "tell" ubuntu, just to put all the windows in the left part, so I don't have to minimize a window it's time it opens?
[06:28] <victicom> I tried installing on a virtual machine, ubuntu 11.10, and no luck today... So... I'll try again tomorrow.
[06:28] <sun_devil> Network printer has a IP address and says connected to local host but cant print test page?
[06:28] <_Brun0_> victicom, thanks! good to know it is a temporary issue. I'll keep using firefox for now and try it tomorrow. Thanks!
[06:28] <victicom> Wait wait wait...
[06:29] <ivano> #ubuntu-it
[06:29] <victicom> I did not say it was temporary... I only said it was actin up today. I don't know for sure that it will be back tomorrow.
[06:29] <_Brun0_> victicom, I know but it's google.. they'll probably fix it.
[06:29] <victicom> That's what I'm hoping on. I use chrome for the most part.
[06:29] <victicom> Yeah... more than likely.
[06:29] <victicom> GL tomorrow @ it.
[06:29] <_Brun0_> u2
[06:30] <subb1> meskarune,overclucker: thanks. e2fsck fixed it :)
[06:30] <_Brun0_> victicom, btw, I'm also running ubuntu 11.10 on a virtual machine.
[06:30] <stytown> Hi, I just recently installed Linux Mint on a virtual machine on my comp, and I am coding PHP on it in eclipse and I would like to test out my code locally.  Can anyone help me set that up?
[06:30] <victicom> Now...that there might be an issue.
[06:31] <cfhowlett> !mint|stytown
[06:31] <hiexpo> meskarune, he or she what eva is a dummy cause I used about 20 times hehe and there is no config file just amake file   hehe
[06:31] <victicom> Erm... just save it on a USB, and run on your main?
[06:31] <overclucker> subb1: that's good. i was worried you might have a damaged disk :)
[06:31] <stytown> Ok, thank you.
[06:31] <cfhowlett> stytown: have fun/be safe
[06:31] <hiexpo> brb
[06:32] <meskarune> hiexpo: lol. I see
[06:32] <_Brun0_> victicom, no not on USB. it's a vritual disk (virtual box) on my main HD.
[06:32] <victicom> Oh, I meant for stytown
[06:32] <_Brun0_> victicom, ok sorry
[06:32] <victicom> I know its rare to run a VB on USB stick
[06:32] <victicom> lol.
[06:33] <meskarune> maybe stytown is running mint in a vm in ubuntu?
[06:33] <victicom> Well... back to our Ubuntu issue?
[06:33] <meskarune> and they want to use their php stuff in their local install
[06:33] <victicom> YEs, even if thats the case, mesk... it still is a linux mint related question.
[06:33] <subb1> overclucker: yea. phew.. thanks once again
[06:33] <victicom> :-/
[06:34] <victicom> Thats what I thought, though... so... anyways, I joined the linuxmint channel, too.
[06:35] <victicom> _Brun0_, do you think it may have to do with the virtual box that U11.10 is not allowing Chrome download site? I dont know... some weird issue?
[06:36] <_Brun0_> victicom, no because the lik: https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb also gives the same 404 error on my Win7 machine.
[06:36] <victicom> Nope... then its not a VB thing.
[06:36] <nathan28> _Brun0_: have you tried using apt to install chromium/chrom
[06:37] <victicom> *I clicked on link*
[06:37] <Abooda> nathan28: I don't think it's in the repos
[06:37] <youtoo> what is command/config file to configure the static ipaddress
[06:37] <meskarune> _Brun0_ maybe there is a mirror link of the file?
[06:37] <sun_devil> Cups error during printing
[06:37] <Spanky> Anybody know how to change desktop icons?  Ubuntu 10.04
[06:38] <_Brun0_> nathan28, also got similar fiel not found error. Followed this method: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/12/install-google-chrome-using-apt-get-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[06:38] <youtoo> i am not able to find ifcfg
[06:38] <victicom> Spanky...
[06:38] <_Brun0_> meskarune, probably. but who garantees it is up-to-date and secure?
[06:38] <victicom> I think /usr/share/applications, modify .desktop files and use path for desired image.
[06:38] <nathan28> _Brun0_: i refuse to believe that there isn't a PPA/repo in ubuntu w/ chrom{e,ium}
[06:39] <meskarune> _Brun0_ you check the sha ?
[06:40] <cfhowlett> spanky: System>Preferences>Appearance>Theme>Customize>Icons
[06:40] <phix> nathan28: there isnt?
[06:40] <Spanky> Using Zentyal 2.2.5 which is on top of 10.04 with LXDE desktop environment...
[06:41] <Spanky> Screwed up and deleted the Zentyal Admin icon on the desktop....
[06:41] <_Brun0_> nathan28, I don't want chromium as I need google's chrome for now.
[06:41] <_Brun0_> meskarune, nice idea.
[06:43] <Spanky> So how do I replace icon on Desktop that disappeared... Text is still there.... Icon isn't...
[06:43] <macmartine> I assume I want cron jobs on my server to be added to the root users crontab?
[06:44] <Kimmen> macmartine: depends, if the job needs to be run as root then yes
[06:45] <macmartine> Kimmen: It's to crawl through a database and send email reminders where appropriate. So, I guess it doesn't need to be root? Am I better off just doing it under a restricted user then?
[06:46] <macmartine> Kimmen: Er, I guess really it's just to run a rake task
[06:46] <HeyHeyHey> Why do I get the message "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" when using an Ubuntu live CD
[06:46] <Spanky> !$#!@#$ permissions really piss me off sometime...
[06:46] <Spanky> Fixed it...
[06:46] <czardoz> http://imgur.com/ZCThb
[06:47] <czardoz> why cant i see the icons?
[06:47] <Spanky> Had to open up Nautilus (which didn't come with Zentyal) in root mode...
[06:47] <Spanky> PITA
[06:47] <Kimmen> macmartine: it's better to run with just enough priviliges yes
[06:47] <cfhowlett> HeyHeyHey: cdrom or usb?
[06:47] <HeyHeyHey> CDRom
[06:47] <nathan28> Spanky: don't open nautilus as root
[06:47] <Spanky> No... I am SuperUser all the time every time....  I make no mistakes... :=)))
[06:47] <cfhowlett> HeyHeyHey: you md5sum checked it?
[06:47] <HeyHeyHey> I only have USB 1.0, I don't think it will work on that
[06:48] <HeyHeyHey> Yes the live cd works on my other PC
[06:48] <Spanky> Nautilus as root kicks ass..... Booooyyyy...!
[06:48] <cfhowlett> HeyHeyHey: how did you boot the ubuntu computer?
[06:48] <nathan28> using gui file managers as root makes baby jesus cry
[06:48] <_Brun0_> seems other people are also getting problems to install google chrome on ubuntu: http://www.google.es/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=68c2a5693feb2f62&hl=en
[06:48] <HeyHeyHey> What do you mean? It is a live CD
[06:49] <victicom> Yep @ Problems w/ Chrome.
[06:49] <victicom> I'd give it a day for it to be fixed.
[06:49] <nathan28> _Brun0_: it's part of google's new privacy policy
[06:49] <Spanky> Baby J be crying all the way to the bank.....
[06:49] <cfhowlett> HeyHeyHey: then why are you discussing USB ?
[06:49] <nathan28> right after he deletes /usr accidentally
[06:49] <HeyHeyHey> USB won't work because its only USB 1.0
[06:49] <_Brun0_> nathan28, what do you mean?
[06:49] <nathan28> _Brun0_: j/k
[06:49] <lwizardl> if someone was to install using wubi where would the linux OS be installed into
[06:50] <cfhowlett> HeyHeyHey: let's not discuss usb, OK?  Now, DID you md5sum check the iso you downloaded
[06:50] <overclucker> Spanky: you run everything as root?
[06:50] <_Brun0_> nathan28, ahhhhhhh =P
[06:50] <HeyHeyHey> No i did not, but it boots up fine on 1 of my PCs but not this one
[06:50] <prashant_123456> which version of gnome do am i using ??
[06:50] <nathan28> prashant_123456: i don't know but apt does
[06:51] <macmartine> Kimmen: So, you probably need to know more about the setup, but might it make sense to make a user just for the cron tasks?
[06:51] <prashant_123456> nathan28, any command to know that
[06:51] <nathan28> prashant_123456: i don't know apt, $man apt and read the section on querying
[06:51] <nathan28> or just fire up synpatic pkg manager
[06:51] <cfhowlett> HeyHeyHey: a 30 second check to ensure the quality of the download isn't so much trouble really.  also, you should check sum the burned CDROM to ensure that it's good.  If both of those pass, if you correctly booted from the CDROM as you claim then possibly your CDROM drive is faulty.
[06:51] <nathan28> and search for gnome do
[06:52] <_Brun0_> I remember the day I ran everything as root. It was when trying to install and configure my first linux distro ever. Let me tell you, that day I destroyed and reinstalled poor debian 14 times in a row! Then I learned that with great power comes great responsibility.
[06:52] <HeyHeyHey> How do I do the md5 check?
[06:52] <cfhowlett> !md5sum>heyheyhey
[06:53] <Kimmen> macmartine: for a specific task you could create a new user or run it as an existing user, it's all up to you. I just think that root should be used only when necessary
[06:54] <meskarune> root is a tool to use for admining the system
[06:54] <meskarune> its not good or bad to use it
[06:55] <Kimmen> no, it's goor or bad depending on how you use it
[06:55] <Kimmen> good*
[06:55] <Kismac> :^
[06:55] <lwizardl> ok I found the root.disk file from wubi. Now is there a way to mount the virtual disk so I can backup the files to another partition ?
[06:57] <meskarune> I'd just use ubuntu one or drop box, wuala, etc
[06:57] <RedXIII> Hey, I want to install GRUB so that it boots ONLY a windows 7 partition
[06:57] <RedXIII> is this possible?
[06:57] <RedXIII> Or does grub require linux / ext4?
[06:57] <meskarune> grub works with any OS pretty much
[06:58] <RedXIII> so I should be able to mount my ntfs partition and grub-install directly to it?
[06:58] <meskarune> but I don't understand why you would want to have grub with a windows install and nothing else
[06:58] <hiexpo> ping pangolin
[06:58] <meskarune> since grub chainloads the windows loader
[06:58] <RedXIII> I like purple.
[06:59] <RedXIII> Purple everywhere.
[06:59] <RedXIII> So is it a matter of just grub-install and grub-update ?
[06:59] <pangolin> hiexpo: ?
[06:59] <hiexpo> pangolin, sure
[06:59] <hiexpo> pangolin, pm please
[07:00] <pangolin> anytime
[07:00] <Spearoth> mornin'
[07:00] <warhell> lol
[07:00] <Spearoth> I'm searching for help installing ispcp on a web server. Went to ispcp-channel before, but its quiet there. Any suggestions where to go?
[07:01] <meskarune> their forums or newslist
[07:01] <meskarune> ^ spearoth
[07:02] <Spearoth> Hmmmm, ok. i hoped to find some help instantly, but forum seems legit
[07:02] <urfr332g0> RedXIII, you don't want to use grub as the boootloader with kust Windows.
[07:02] <urfr332g0> just
[07:03] <warhell> well i guess damo22 had to leave
[07:03] <warhell> lol
[07:03] <meskarune> I mean, they could use grub with just windows, but it would be redundant
[07:04] <urfr332g0> meskarune, hiow?
[07:04] <urfr332g0> how
[07:04] <HEYHEYHEY> hi
[07:04] <cfhowlett> HEYHEYHEY: welcome back
[07:04] <HEYHEYHEY> My disk drive isnt even showing up in xubuntu
[07:04] <meskarune> urfr332g0: you install grub to its own boot partition
[07:05] <meskarune> urfr332g0: grub works with many other OS's than just linux
[07:05] <urfr332g0> meskarune, right and thats a good idea
[07:05] <urfr332g0> meskarune, that is not ubuntu support
[07:05] <meskarune> actually, having grub on its own partition IS a good idea when you have multiple Os's
[07:06] <prashant_123456> how to unpin program from taskbar using ubuntu 11.10 gnome classic
[07:06] <meskarune> urfr332g0: YOU asked me. don't complain about how your own question is not ubuntu related. :P
[07:06] <urfr332g0> meskarune, not really but this is offtopic and the question is not ubuntu support
[07:06] <urfr332g0> meskarune, not your the original
[07:07] <urfr332g0> yours
[07:07] <meskarune> someone asked a question about grub, I have a quick answer. you wanted an explaination about it

[07:07] <meskarune> no need to analyse in any case
[07:07] <HEYHEYHEY> It won't work in xubuntu whatsoever
[07:08] <cfhowlett> HEYHEYHEY: have you installed xubuntu or are you live booting
[07:08] <meskarune> HEYHEYHEY: does it show up in dev at all?
[07:09] <HEYHEYHEY> I have installed it under wubi because it seems like I can boot the CD but then xubuntu fails to recognise it and can't continue on
[07:09] <hiexpo> bad nic
[07:09] <hiexpo> them caps
[07:10] <HEYHEYHEY> What do you mean in dev
[07:10] <cfhowlett> HEYHEYHEY: I see several notices about this device from 6 years ago....that's ancient in computer time.  I've seen no fixes.  Perhaps a replacement is in order??
[07:11] <meskarune> HEYHEYHEY: dev is devices. if you do "ls /dev" it will list them
[07:11] <overclucker> HEYHEYHEY: /dev is a folder where all your recognized devices are represented as files
[07:11] <overclucker> it feels like were spamming . . .

[07:20] <prashant_123456> i cannot delete my top panel  using ubuntu 11.10
[07:20] <hiexpo> HEYHEYHEY, might get better response if you turn them caps off
[07:21] <meskarune> HEYHEYHEY make sure your user is in the cdrom and dvd group, and has permission to mount stuff
[07:21] <meskarune> anways, I have to go to bed. goodnight
[07:21] <terminhell> gpasswd -a username cdrom or dvd
[07:22] <Krised> Hi. I need a little somthing here. I got a Win7 comp and a Ubuntu 11.10 - Gnome fallback and id like to be able to connect to it from the Windows 7. Basicly RDP. It would be a great thing if i didnt have to use VNC but could use the RDP which is in win7 by default
[07:23] <terminhell> vinagre supports RDP
[07:23] <zzecool> Krised:  try teamviewer works best in both
[07:23] <terminhell> or as a pluggin
[07:23]  * hiexpo going back to aircrack and pentoo and probally backtrack also see whats up there 
[07:24] <stevecam> is it possible to tell banshee to scan the media library for missing files?
[07:25] <hiexpo> stevecam, man banshee
[07:25] <terminhell> what kind of 'missing' files?
[07:25] <Krised> zzecool we got a licence for teamviewer but since im all over this place it would be awsome to be able to sit down in front of any windows 7 computer and connect to my ubuntu computers..so the RDP is really prefereable. its ok if i need to install somthing on the linux but id rather not have to download and install 120 windows 7 computers.
[07:25] <warhell> hiexpo
[07:25] <HEYHEYHEY> It says I was added to group cdrom
[07:25] <warhell> well damo22 couldnt help
[07:26] <savr> what DE is everyone using these days?
[07:26] <warhell> i think its one those things that just wont compile right
[07:26] <zzecool> Krised: you can take it a a portable in usb too
[07:27] <HEYHEYHEY> Im in group cdrom now but it still isn't showing up
[07:27] <savr> kde unity gnome?
[07:27] <Krised> zzecool i suppose so but id still rather be able to use RDP from windows 7 to ubuntu. isnt it possible somhow ?
[07:27] <savr> or is there a new one I have not heard of?
[07:27] <overclucker> HEYHEYHEY: i dont see anything cd/dvd like in /dev try: pastebinit /var/log/kern.log
[07:28] <Krised> terminhell yeah but its installed by default in 11.10 but my windows wont connect to it
[07:28] <prashant_123456> cannot unpin program from gnome panel
[07:28] <terminhell> HEYHEYHEY:  you may also have to enable dbus to load and reboot?
[07:28] <zzecool> Krised: why dont you first try use google if you need something so specific
[07:28] <zzecool> Krised: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/06/connect-to-ubuntu-11-04-from-windows-via-remote-desktop/
[07:29] <HEYHEYHEY> http://pastebin.com/ykJZU9ka
[07:29] <zzecool> And we are done here
[07:29] <terminhell> Krised: perhaps there are port differences by default?
[07:29] <Krised> zzecool heh i did actually. but thanks
[07:29] <zzecool> Krised: np
[07:29] <Krised> terminhell DOH.. completely forgot that.. ill check that out.. i just got up after a long night. heh
[07:30] <terminhell> Krised: heh gl
[07:31] <Calinou> savr: gnome
[07:31] <savr> which version
[07:31] <Calinou> 3 (but I prefer 2, thanks 11.10)
[07:31] <Calinou> I am on windows right now, so lol
[07:32] <Krised> i like what ive done with gnome to make it look like the good old gnome i love.. but its odd to see the menus. basicly everything regarding configuration is in the menu point "Other"
[07:32] <zzecool> Krised: unity is goinf to be rock solid in precise   Alplha 2 is looking all rdy :P
[07:34] <somsip> zzecool: http://www.techdrivein.com/2012/02/ubuntu-1204-alpha-2-review-unusually.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+techdrivein+%28Tech+Drive-in%29
[07:34] <HEYHEYHEY> hOW CAN i ENABLE DBUS TO LOAD
[07:34] <HEYHEYHEY> Aorry
[07:34] <HEYHEYHEY> Sorry
[07:34] <terminhell> hmm
[07:34] <tapas> still had caps lock on from typing your nick?
[07:34] <tapas> :D
[07:34] <Krised> zzecool uhmm i just got to work. the sun is shining and i made my gf happy last night.. please dont ruin it all by telling me that unity isnt removed or at least optional install in 12.04 ??
[07:35] <tapas> the horror that is everything gnome3 :D
[07:35] <tapas> i just switched to xfce4 for my non-tiling-wm needs
[07:35] <terminhell> i forget how to get MODULE's to load in ubuntu, sorry, <Arch user>
[07:35] <zzecool> Krised: ubuntu  = unity
[07:35] <Krised> zzecool Nooooooooo
[07:35] <diuneigh> can anyone help me deleting a swap partition with fdisk?  Gparted will not recognize the partition.
[07:35] <zzecool> Krised: they are not gonna remove it but you can install anything you want :)
[07:35] <Krised> tapas you can make gnome3 look ALOT like gnome2
[07:35] <somsip> Krised: don't worry. Perfectly fine to run ubuntu without going too close to unity or gnome3
[07:36] <tapas> Krised: yeah, i don't care to go through the hoops though, if other DEs are readily available and they do the job just as well
[07:36] <Krised> zzecool yeah at least you can pick apart what you dont like.. thats the beauty of it
[07:36] <tristan3199us> so out of the blue my system stopped mounting any other media.. or my other partition.. i get a message about syslinux being needed to open ext2 formatted drives.. but im using ext4 and have syslinux installed..
[07:36] <terminhell> diuneigh: you may have to disable swap first and unmount it first
[07:36] <tristan3199us> what the heck could have happened??
[07:36] <zzecool> Krised: ys you can there is allrdy a big improvement on alpha 2 and classic gnome session to look almost like the old gnome 2
[07:37] <zzecool> Krised:  but for me unity is  fast for my work
[07:37] <tapas> prediction: many many people will use that and then the gnome team will make it harder "for the usability" :D
[07:37] <diuneigh> terminhell:  how can I do that?  Actually the swap isn't on.. but is is /dev/sdb5 and gparted will not work.  it tells me to umount it.  I do not know how to do that in terminal.  Can you help?
[07:37] <Krised> tapas i had gnome fallback installed. had all other options removed.. had lightDM not show other users so every user enters his username.. force a classic mode. have buttons in right side as they are supposed to.. it was alot of work but finally i got a working version
[07:37] <zzecool> Krised: i only type "the windows key " and some letter and BOOMM my app is running
[07:37] <hiexpo> warhell, good luck :)
[07:38] <Krised> zecool i find it like a toy you get from a cereal box.. it looks fancy but isnt usable for anything
[07:38] <tristan3199us> diuneigh: have you ran gparted as root??
[07:38] <terminhell> diuneigh: sudo fdisk and more importantly man fdisk
[07:38] <Krised> zzecool any idea when 12.04 is released ?
[07:38] <diuneigh> tristan: no.  how to run gparted as root?
[07:38] <zzecool> Krised: you didnt get any time with it im sure because i had the same  feelings with you.  Try this use it for 2 weeks and tell me again
[07:38] <hiexpo> probally on 12 / 04
[07:39] <tapas> i have to work on OS X at work at the moment.. it's even worse than gnome3 though ;D
[07:39] <diuneigh> terminell:  do you know the commands?
[07:39] <tristan3199us> krised: i agree.. also great analogey..
[07:39] <HEYHEYHEY> how do I install multiple things at once on a terminal
[07:39] <zzecool> Krised: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[07:39] <warhell> hiexpo
[07:39] <tapas> HEYHEYHEY: sudo apt-get install pkg1 pkg2 ....
[07:39] <warhell> i dont think its gonna get done
[07:39] <Krised> zzecool not really an option.. my work with linux at work is mostly configuring so i need somthing i can work with.. not have to click a button to open the window in which i need to type terminal.
[07:39] <Spanky> Anybody know how to change an icon for a program you drag to the Ubuntu desktop in 10.04?
[07:40] <warhell> because one i dont know c
[07:40] <terminhell> diuneigh: open a terminal, type     man fdisk    run anything with sudo but its going to be something like sudo fdisk -s /dev/sda5 or something like that
[07:40] <Krised> all i know about working with unity is to install synaptic and get rid of unity
[07:40] <warhell> and 2, we already edited the make files 3 times already
[07:40] <warhell> compile fails
[07:40] <overclucker> HEYHEYHEY: well, it looks like linux is having trouble communicating with your drive, and giving up on it. what model is your drive?
[07:40] <tapas> Krised: the gnome shell is just as bad
[07:40] <zzecool> Krised: you dont click on any button  ...
[07:40] <tristan3199us> i really need some pointers tho.. my system says unable to mount filesystem.. not authorized... why could this be..
[07:40] <Spanky> Using simple LXDE...
[07:41] <HEYHEYHEY>  It is a Memorex 16x DDL-IN dvd-rw/cd drive
[07:41] <hiexpo> what you want warhell ?>
[07:41] <Krised> zzecool well all our users are in best case used to windows so i need to make it smooth and like windows.
[07:41] <tristan3199us> when i try to load another partition my system blocks it.. how do i get my partitions and usb drives to mount again??
[07:41] <zzecool> Krised: I forgive you because you dont have any experience with unity  cause you didnt spend any time to config it in you way  . Im using s keyboard shortcuts for almost everything so no mouse for me
[07:41] <Spanky> I got a dead boot on my LVM on my server due to loose SATA cable...  Check your connections...
[07:42] <warhell> nothing
[07:42] <zzecool> Krised: then kde fits your users better imo
[07:42] <warhell> i just sell this adapter
[07:42] <zzecool> Krised: kde is more windows like
[07:42] <warhell> its allready pissed me off compared to my old alfa
[07:42] <warhell> which just works
[07:42] <tristan3199us> nobody knows how to help i take it??
[07:43] <Spanky> Any more specifics Tristan?
[07:43] <Krised> zzecool yeah i thought about kde since i used to it before but except the fact that my programs menu doesnt have any icon (it just have the word "Programs" ) its alot like windows
[07:43] <terminhell> tristan3199us: i believe that dbus must be enabled during boot now
[07:43] <tristan3199us> terinhell: any idea how to revert it to how it was a few hours ago??
[07:44] <terminhell> tristan3199us: try adding this to your ~.xinitrc   exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session
[07:44] <zzecool> Krised: whatever  , what i like in unity is that im able to be free of my mouse i dont need to navigate throught menus like playing labyrinth  with my mouse
[07:44] <zzecool> Krised: i only press "windows key on the keyboard" and boom
[07:44] <zzecool> just like that
[07:45] <Krised> zzecool yeah i can see thats an advantage. but then id need to educate people how to do that.. which i cant.. im the admin on a technical college
[07:45] <hearno_> zzecool amen
[07:45] <zzecool> Krised: then you are doomed :D
[07:45] <Krised> btw.. xrdp lets me log in.. i can see the wallpaper but no menus or ANYTHING.. just the wallpaper
[07:45] <zzecool> hearno_: i loled at your comment  :D
[07:45] <Krised> zzecool as far as unity goes yes
[07:46] <hearno_> i do miss the cube
[07:46] <terminhell> tristan3199us: if you already have the "exec ck-launch..." in your .xinitrc just make sure to add the dbus-launch part and give that a shot. Will require a reboot
[07:46] <zzecool> Krised: hmmm  i dont rly know
[07:46] <hearno_> last time i tried to enable cube i did a number on my box
[07:47] <diuneigh> can anyone help me deleting a swap partition with fdisk?  Gparted will not recognize the partition.  can someone walk me through it.  I am not having luck with the manual or googling for a solution.
[07:47] <tristan3199us> terminhell:  thank you.. trying to find ~.xinitrc now..
[07:47] <zzecool> hearno_: my desktop is 4 horizontal workspaces and feels like paradise :)     with the wall plugin  . The cube was the 2004 trend  hoho
[07:48] <terminhell> tristan3199us its a hidden file in your home folder
[07:48] <terminhell> ctrl+h
[07:48] <tristan3199us> gotcha
[07:48] <hearno_> zzecool rofl it was pretty trendy
[07:48] <Dogears> Hi!  Can I run Libre 3.5 from the software centre or do I need to dpkg from a terminal as per the readme file?
[07:48] <hearno_> the hipster of desktops
[07:48] <ginai> hello
[07:48] <mcurran> eth0 on startup...  says connected, but have to reconnect to get traffic?
[07:49] <hobagos> \
[07:49] <Krised> zzecool well i got to worry about things like people logging in with AD users.. which only works in 9.10 and 11.10 - not even 11.04
[07:49] <zzecool> hearno_: hehe  yes it was  :p
[07:49] <alexander-zf> how to fix flashplugin-downloader
[07:49] <ginai> I need help about the IRC chat here
[07:49] <Krised> Dogears you can get libreoffice from software center i guess. but its built into ubuntu 11.10 afaik
[07:50] <alexander-zf> Setting up flashplugin-downloader (11.0.1.152ubuntu1) ...
[07:50] <alexander-zf> Downloading...

[07:50] <tristan3199us> terminhell: not there.. could that be my problem??
[07:51] <ginai> what is the name of the offtopic channel withour ruls?
[07:51] <zzecool> Dogears: 3.5 is not in the repos  yet  .... you have either download and installit manually form their site or add the libreoffice ppa and wait for it to be updated :)
[07:51] <Lint> Dogears, 3.5 only by manual install
[07:51] <mcurran> no flashplugin-downloader, just download flashplayer *.so and then put it in the right plugin directory, usually /usr/lib/firefox/* (look for addons or plugins folder) and put in there.  Restart firefox
[07:52] <Lint> you cannot trust 3rd party ppas
[07:52] <robbmunson> No channel without rules, ginai but you're probably looking for #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:52] <hearno_> Lint i had to do the same on an old mint install....def sucks but you learn
[07:52] <mcurran> or you could use /home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins/ and put it there, and then symlink it to the other dir.
[07:52] <Dogears> Thanks for your help!
[07:53] <terminhell> tristan3199us: im not sure then sorry, not used ubuntu in a while =/ im here to sorta help with general linux stuff. The way ubuntu handles daemons like dbus is different than my distro
[07:53] <zzecool> Lint: its not 3rd party .... its libreoffice   official one....
[07:53]  * Lint feels sad for those who has to use libreoffice
[07:53] <mcurran> anyone know a good channel for mobo support?
[07:53] <Krised> zzecool any idea how to insert a script (that you have to click on- or a shortcut to it) to the first user who installs it ? sorta like when you run livecd you get the install release shortcut ?
[07:53] <diuneigh> can anyone help me deleting a swap partition with fdisk?  Gparted will not recognize the partition.  can someone walk me through it.  I am not having luck with the manual or googling for a solution.
[07:53] <tristan3199us> terminhell: whats your os of choice??
[07:53] <mcurran> or nvidia nforce board support other than hp' and google.com
[07:53] <HEYHEYHEY> I cant find my partitioned drive under the file manager, even though I used to be able to
[07:53] <mcurran> I got two motherboards that refuse to give any video output signal, A8M2N-LA (compaq presario sr2023wm) and a MCP61PM-HM (hp pavilion a6000).  My primary PC is a MCP61PM-GM board, so I'm able to hotflash the bios for my second bad mobo, but still no friggin' video.  tried adding video card, but neither the onboard on gpu card work in those two boards.  Anyone got any ideas?
[07:54] <terminhell> tristan3199us: Archlinux
[07:54] <alexander-zf> mcurran: but how to erase the error  when installing software, it's still finding flash-downloader
[07:54] <zzecool> Krised: no idea :P
[07:55] <terminhell> tristan3199us: It's not for the freshbloods of the nix world. As you piece it together mostly from scratch and hand modify a lot of config files
[07:55] <mcurran> remove flash downloader, then go to adobe website/downloads/ and download the flashplayer for linux x86 or i586/x64.  then extract that archive you download and it'll have the libflashplayer.so file you need.
[07:55] <tristan3199us> terminhell: was lookin to try something new.. dont mind learning.. is it complicated to get running??
[07:56] <mcurran> Is there a terminal based way to burn an image to a dvd?  Could i just loop mount an iso to a temp. directory and then cp -r all the files to /dev/cdrom ?
[07:56] <mcurran> or /dev/sr0 whatever the drive is mounted as?
[07:56] <Lint> why bother if it has exactly same software but inferior packagers team?
[07:58] <mcurran> HEYHEYHEY, are you using gparted?
[07:58] <mcurran> if not, try it.
[07:58] <tristan3199us> been foolin around with ubuntu for a couple years.. and have learned alot.. but im still constanly learning.
[07:58] <NotproN> the ubuntu alternate cd that i downloades from the site is bootable?
[07:58] <mcurran> these mobos are really making me upset, since they're perfect workstations for two nodes I could be using, especially since they're nforce boards with CUDA capable onboard chips
[07:58] <GhostWolf> hi all, is there something i need to install or do in order to get ubuntu to reconize audio cd's? i have rhythmbox and banshee and they both don't show the audio cd when i insert the cd
[07:59] <mcurran> pyrit cluster hopes :( haaaaa.
[07:59] <alexander-zf> ok thanks mcurran..u're awesome..
[07:59] <mcurran> did it work
[07:59] <mcurran> Let me know if you need specifics alex
[07:59] <tristan3199us> ghostwolf: are you able to open the cd in nautilus ??
[08:00] <GhostWolf> tristan3199us, no im not its not reconizing it at all
[08:00] <NotproN> ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386 works like a live cd?
[08:00] <terminhell> tristan3199us:  Yes. There is no GUI installer, or gui at all, at first that is. You get a terminal, and a few other tools. Then you add what you want afterwards
[08:01] <tristan3199us> terminhell: would i need to add my own repos as well?? would preferr not to have ubuntu since im using a notebook right now and would rather not be dealing with problems on things i never use..
[08:02] <prashant_123456> how to reset gnome panel to default
[08:02] <prashant_123456> using ubuntu 11.10
[08:02] <terminhell> tristan3199us: I wouldnt recommend it to anyone with less than a year or two of linux usage. Repo's are already in place for the most part, you just enable the ones for your region you want.
[08:02] <tristan3199us> ghostwolf: is it an internal cd drive or usb?
[08:03] <GhostWolf> tristan3199us, an internal cd drive
[08:03] <GhostWolf> i don't know if i ever used or try using an audio cd while using ubuntu, i always have music on my computer
[08:04] <mcurran> prashant_123456 I'll tell u in a sec. I gotta find it
[08:04] <terminhell> tristan3199us: if your serious about being serious with linux, give this a thorough readover: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide
[08:05] <tristan3199us> ghostwolf: http://www.google.com/url?q=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount&sa=U&ei=KWc7T5GQFYTm2gX5l-DKCg&ved=0CAwQFjAE&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNF3491DSPDWIupVS2pbcsRki0JqHg
[08:06] <mcurran> prashant_123456 I'm pretty sure you delete ~/.gnome2/panel2.d the pane2.d directory, but I'm not possitive, and that's for gnome2
[08:07] <GhostWolf> tristan3199us, not to be rude but i don't think thats going to help, if its a problem of not reading a plain audio cd it has to be something not needed mounted, ubuntu can reconize other discs just fine..
[08:07] <GhostWolf> but anyways since that wasn't really want i wanted to know i just do an old fashion way and go into windows and put the music onto my comp..
[08:08] <janisozaur> why does 'canorus' package require lilypond-doc? shouldn't the -doc package be only suggested?
[08:09] <terminhell> because ubuntu likes to pull in things that really aren't required
[08:09] <prashant_123456> mcurran, using ubuntu 11.10
[08:09] <terminhell> i mean, just try removing gdm or evolution....it tries  to take all of gnome with it...or used too
[08:10] <tristan3199us> ghostwolf: no offense taken..
[08:10] <janisozaur> terminhell, hmm, it seems that apt-get thinks 'recommends' means 'depends'
[08:10] <terminhell> heh
[08:12] <Lint> terminhell, that's because gnome is compiled in the way its developers expect
[08:13] <Lint> they cannot afford playing hackers and compile gnome without important dependencies providing the functionality user wants
[08:14] <terminhell> Lint: its an ubuntu issue. other distro's will allow you to remove components from gnome that wont end up removing the whole gnome install.
[08:14] <glebihan> terminhell, ubuntu also allows you to do that
[08:15] <terminhell> perhaps, but not as finely tuned as it could be
[08:15] <glebihan> terminhell, the only package that will get removed when you uninstall gdm is the gnome metapacjage
[08:15] <wisnia> who can tell me how to change gnome file manager icon colours (apperance) ?
[08:16] <Lint> terminhell, they will not, as gnome components will not load if libraries they are linked with are missing
[08:16] <linux5001> Hey guys, anybody knows where to get Linux System Engineers? I already advertised on xing, linkedin without success. The market seems be completely sucked dry. Anybody knows of forums that have subforums for jobs? I can not find any.
[08:16] <glebihan> Lint, most gnome components do not depend on each other
[08:17] <terminhell> and thats the problem. for some reason evolution is tied in so much with ubuntu's version of gnome (or at least used to be) that it wants to take most of it with it
[08:17] <tobs> how can i send privat msg to users in irc under client "weechat"
[08:17] <tobs> ?
[08:17] <glebihan> terminhell, what do you mean "most of it" ?
[08:17] <terminhell> gnome
[08:18] <tobs> anybody else uses "weechat"??
[08:18] <glebihan> terminhell, what does it want to remove when you try to uninstall evolution ? which packages
[08:18] <alexander-zf> how to change from default unity to gnome in ltsp client?
[08:18] <terminhell> gnome-desktop
[08:18] <glebihan> terminhell, that's a metapackage
[08:18] <glebihan> terminhell, removing it doesn't actually remove anything
[08:19] <terminhell> hmm, a bit misleading i suppose
[08:19] <glebihan> terminhell, it's just there to help installing a default gnome desktop
[08:19] <terminhell> still odd that it would even display that though
[08:19] <glebihan> terminhell, it depends on all gnome packages but contains no data
[08:19] <terminhell> it just doesnt seem as modular as it could be
[08:19] <glebihan> terminhell, no, it's normal. Evolution is one of gnome's default applications so gnome-desktop depend on it
[08:20] <glebihan> terminhell, it is very modular. As soon as you'll remove the gnome-desktop package, you'll be able to remove any part of gnome you want
[08:21] <terminhell> i guess my issue is the need to remove a meta package in the first place, or its need of one at all
[08:21] <glebihan> terminhell, the need for one is that it makes things much more simpler when a user wants to install gnome
[08:22] <glebihan> terminhell, he only has 1 package to install
[08:23] <terminhell> i guess i just have a different philosophy to package management
[08:23] <Mephisto> hi
[08:23] <terminhell> hello Mephisto
[08:23] <Mephisto> can anyone tell me how can i get Chromium 10 from here: http://mirror.fiber.net/ubuntu-lucid/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/ ?
[08:23] <Mephisto> i need 10th version for some things...
[08:23] <Mephisto> but i dunno how to install it
[08:24] <terminhell> Mephisto: is it a repo?
[08:24] <Mephisto> not really.. it's a mirror..
[08:24] <terminhell> you may have to compile it
[08:24] <Mephisto> but it probably can be used as a repo.. i'm not sure
[08:24] <Mephisto> what for?..
[08:24] <tristan3199us> im getting an error also saying extlinux not found.. this is required for ext2-formatted usb drive install mode.  install the "syslinux" package or your distribution's equivalent..
[08:25] <tristan3199us> however i do have syslinux packages installed and im not using ext2
[08:25] <terminhell> Mephisto: download the version you need and for your appropriate architecture (32 or 64bit) then double click and install it after its downloaded
[08:25] <Mephisto> terminhell, erm.. are you sure it's possible?..
[08:26] <terminhell> or in terminal, dpkg -i /package/name
[08:26] <Mephisto> ok
[08:26] <Mephisto> thanks
[08:27] <Linux50001> Anybody knows Linux forums that have subforums for jobs? I am desperately looking for Linux System Engineers in Switzerland. I can not find any on linkedin or xing. The market is sucked dry.
[08:28] <terminhell> Nope Linux50001
[08:28] <Linux50001> :(
[08:29] <Linux50001> Are there any other Linux related channeld where I could ask?
[08:29] <somsip> Linux50001: try the freelance sites?
[08:29] <terminhell> try #linux
[08:29] <DJones> Linux50001: Just wondering if there is an ubuntu swiss loco that might be able to help
[08:29] <Linux50001> somsip: I did but I need Linux Engineers for permante positions not projects.
[08:29] <Yabden> hire me and i will write the programs to power your coo-coo clocks
[08:30] <somsip> Linux50001: what is "permanent"? I've been with two clients well over a year from freelance jobs
[08:30] <Linux50001> somsip: open end. You know any good freelancer sites for Linux covering Europe?
[08:31] <Linux50001> somsip: I tried freelancermap.de but everybody in involved in projects.
[08:31] <Yabden> is there really a linux sysadmin/engineer shortage in europe?
[08:31] <Linux50001> Yabden, totally. Trust me.
[08:31] <somsip> Linux50001: oDesk, eLance, i wouldn't bother with scriptlance, getafreelancer possibly. It's been a while since I had to ue them
[08:32] <DJones> Linux50001: There is a swiss ubuntu loco with an irc channel on freenode #ubuntu-ch you could ask there or in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux as well, probably a a few good channels that might have somebody that can suggest somewhere
[08:32] <Linux50001> yabden, I am a professional recruiter. There are no Linux System Engineers anywhere to be found at the moment. Everybody I contact has the same problem.
[08:33] <Myrtti> !ot
[08:33] <Yabden> that's interesting
[08:33] <Linux50001> somsip, thx for the names
[08:33] <Linux50001> DJones, thx
[08:34] <Massachusetts> questions concerning ubuntu 12.04 multimonitor support
[08:35] <auronandace_> !12.04 | Massachusetts
[08:35] <Massachusetts> ok
[08:35] <Massachusetts> thanks
[08:36] <Abooda> !11.10| Abooda
[08:36] <Abooda> wow, cool bot
[08:37] <Abooda> how much does it know?
[08:40] <jrmy> what's the difference between the amd proprietary drivers ones the normal and the other is the post release
[08:40] <NotproN> guys please help me out here
[08:41] <NotproN> i downloaded the ubuntu cd
[08:41] <NotproN> is there a way i can run it live cd?
[08:41] <Yabden> it already runs as a livecd
[08:42] <meet> is this the only ubuntu help channel?
[08:42] <NotproN> the only option here is install ubuntu
[08:42] <meet> Yabden yobu can create a bootable us
[08:42] <meet> usb
[08:42] <damo22> NotproN, did u dl the alternate cd?
[08:42] <DJones> NotproN: The standard desktop iso just needs burning to a cd or a usb stick and then booting up with the disc/usb inserted, there should be a "Try Ubuntu" option when it starts up
[08:42] <jrmy> heh.. that's the problem
[08:43] <jrmy> alternate is just for installation
[08:43] <NotproN> damo22: yeah alternate one
[08:43] <NotproN> ohhh
[08:43] <NotproN> i see
[08:43] <NotproN> ty so
[08:43] <Yabden> yup just get the regular one
[08:43] <damo22> NotproN, you cant use the alternate one as a livecd
[08:43] <jrmy> yeah I figured that out the hard way too
[08:43] <Yabden> if you want to save a cd you can use a usb stick
[08:43] <NotproN> whats the diff between 2?
[08:44] <DJones> !alternate | NotproN
[08:44] <Yabden> the alternate one is meant only for installing and doesn't give you a live gui
[08:44] <NotproN> i see
[08:44] <NotproN> thank you guys
[08:44] <jrmy> well that's nice info I didn't know :]
[08:44] <NotproN> so much
[08:45] <jrmy> yw
[08:45] <DJones> !live | NotproN (This is the live cd/desktop cd)
[08:45] <jrmy> so yeah anyone know more about the proprietary drivers for amd graphics cards?
[08:46] <NotproN> ty guys
[08:46] <mukwenhac> hi guys. I just installed netbeans by downloading from their official website then installing via the terminal. problem is when i type netbeans in the command line to run it, it tells me its not yet installed
[08:46] <NotproN> i apreciate the info
[08:46] <jrmy> I'm not sure if either will work for my gpu but I noticed there is 2 of them.. wanting to know the differences
[08:46] <mukwenhac> i installed netbeans version 7.1
[08:47] <tristan3199us> seems my user has lost permission to do pretty much anything. and my xinitrc is missing..
[08:47] <mukwenhac> in the software center the one available is 6.9
[08:47] <tristan3199us> where can i obtain a new xinitrc??
[08:47] <mukwenhac> does anyone know how I can make linux aware of this newly installed netbeans??
[08:47] <jrmy> brb
[08:47] <mukwenhac> it does appear in my launch menu
[08:48] <mukwenhac> but from the command line, nothing happens...it's mistaken
[08:48] <Yabden> maybe it isn't in your path
[08:48] <mukwenhac> thanks, Yabden which path would this be
[08:48] <Yabden> do: whereis netbeans
[08:48] <Jake> .
[08:49] <Jake> ty
[08:49] <Yabden> it will probably tell you the directory
[08:49] <mukwenhac> this is the output -> netbeans: /etc/netbeans.import /etc/netbeans.conf /etc/netbeans.clusters /usr/local/bin/netbeans /usr/share/netbeans
[08:50] <Yabden> you should be able to run it by doing /usr/local/bin/netbeans then
[08:51] <mukwenhac> I tried that -> bash: /usr/local/bin/netbeans: No such file or directory
[08:52] <tristan3199us> sudo gedit
[08:53] <dr_willis> gksudo gedit
[08:54] <tristan3199us> well i managed to get xinitrc edited.. added
[08:54] <tristan3199us> exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session but its in ect/x

[09:15] <gerard12> goodmorning
[09:18] <rokyronnie> can Skype use ALSA ?
[09:20] <Yabden> alsa can emulate oss so if skype supports oss then alsa will work with it
[09:20] <Dubaco> hi
[09:20] <Dubaco> does a netbook remix 11.04 exist?
[09:20] <rokyronnie> so.. how can I do that ? cause ALSA is the only way my microphone works
[09:21] <auronandace_> Dubaco: no, unity is meant to be for netbooks anyway
[09:21] <Dubaco> huh?
[09:22] <auronandace_> !unity | Dubaco
[09:27] <NotproN> does somebody here run ubunto in dual boot with osx?
[09:27] <akram> hi
[09:27] <auronandace> !anyone | NotproN
[09:27] <somsip> mukwenhac: it should be a link in /usr/local/bin/netbeans. On mine:  netbeans -> /usr/local/netbeans-7.1/bin/netbeans*
[09:28] <akram> هاي
[09:28] <NotproN> does somebody have done dual boot with ubuntu/osx under macbooks?
[09:29] <NotproN> if yeas, how do i do i
[09:29] <ikonia> NotproN: I have done in the past, I'm not currently
[09:29] <melvincv> there he goes again
[09:29] <ikonia> NotproN: you'll get better responses if you just ask your question rather than if anyone has this, people know how to do things even if they don't do them thereselves
[09:29] <ikonia> melvincv: ?
[09:30] <auronandace> !dualboot | NotproN
[09:30] <theadmin> NotproN: The Ubuntu installer detects other operating systems, if you use the simple partitioning option it will automatically handle all the dual boot for you, can't be a big deal
[09:30] <theadmin> Then again I have no idea if grub really boots osx or not (don't see why not, it can chainload...)
[09:31] <melvincv> ikonia, "does somebody... " doesn't really help anybody, right?
[09:31] <ikonia> melvincv: not really no.
[09:31] <theadmin> melvincv: Some people just don't know how to ask questions :D
[09:36] <pigiman> Hey there, I have installed latest skype version and seems that it always get stuck. Any ideas what can I do to fix it?
[09:37] <eskizle->  how can i extract applet from webpages?
[09:37] <chaospsychex> eskizle-: what do you mean 'extract' ?
[09:38] <eskizle-> to be able to get the jar
[09:38] <eskizle-> so that i can reuse it for exemple
[09:38] <chaospsychex> oh
[09:38] <chaospsychex> what browser are u using?
[09:39] <eskizle-> ff
[09:39] <eskizle-> firefox
[09:39] <rokyronnie> where is the old ALT+F2 command in Ubuntu 11.10 ? cause when I do this nothing happen
[09:39] <chaospsychex> eskizle-: there is an extension for firefox so see jar

[09:40] <sgo11> rokyronnie, it works here.
[09:40] <eskizle-> chaospsychex: ok...
[09:40] <chaospsychex> !ubuntu
[09:41] <sgo11> rokyronnie, gnome-control-center keyboard

[09:43] <sgo11> rokyronnie, I just posted for you. gnome-control-center keyboard
[09:45] <rokyronnie> ok thanks, problem solved
[09:45] <sgo11> rokyronnie, you're welcome. :)
[09:46] <rokyronnie> but I really can't figure out how to make my mike work with skype, alsa being the only way my mike ever worked, and I can't find anything else then PulseAudio in skype sound settings

[09:47] <MacroMan> Hi everyone.
[09:48] <MacroMan> I've got a big problem this morning. I decided to try out one of these USB 2 VGA adapters
[09:48] <MacroMan> So I plugged it in and booted, then gnome only loaded on the monitor plugged into the adapter
[09:49] <MacroMan> I shutdown and unplugged it then booted again. Now I'm only getting to stage 3 booting (command line only)
[09:49] <MacroMan> I tried 'start gdm'
[09:49] <tumppu> startx
[09:49] <tumppu> you can't start gdm without X
[09:50] <jswagner> best feature: connected to wifi from live cd, and after i booted into the system, it remember the network and the key
[09:50] <MacroMan> thanks I'll try it. One thing I did note from the syslog. It was still trying to load the USBDID something or other
[09:50] <MacroMan> Basically the driver for the usb adapter
[09:51] <jswagner> everything worked out of the box, even the digitizer
[09:51] <jswagner> playing with gnome-shell now
[09:51] <MacroMan> So it seems that it is now configured the default monitor for the adapter. Know where this configuration is stored?
[09:51] <MacroMan> I'm on 10.04 lts
[09:52] <jswagner> xorg.conf?
[09:52] <MacroMan> There isn't a xorg.conf on 10.04
[09:52] <tumppu> xinitrc?
[09:56] <MacroMan> Any idea where xinittrc is? I googled but can't find it
[09:57] <Muelli> MacroMan: well, I think you are supposed to put it in your home directory.
[09:57] <tumppu> /etc/X11/xinit
[09:59] <MacroMan> In my syslog I have: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory
[10:00] <chaospsychex> lol
[10:00] <MacroMan> xinittrc doesn't contain any monitor or driver information
[10:01] <MacroMan> I also have this error: gdm-binary[2561]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found
[10:02] <MacroMan> I'm really stuck. Anybody have any ideas?
[10:02] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: what is the problem
[10:02] <MacroMan> I plugged in a USB 2 VGA adapter which didn't work and now when I boot gdm won't loa
[10:02] <MacroMan> d
[10:03] <chaospsychex> ok is it plugged in right now?
[10:04] <TA5K> Hi, I have a problem with setting my display resolution permanently. Changing it via Settings Dialog and "save it permanently" has no effect. Any suggestions?
[10:04] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: are you at the shell ?
[10:04] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: tty?
[10:05] <MacroMan> Yes, I'm at shell
[10:05] <chaospsychex> are you on mars or something
[10:06] <chaospsychex> cuz it takes you like 5mins to reply
[10:06] <chaospsychex> lag....
[10:07] <MacroMan> Here's my log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842828/
[10:07] <MacroMan> from syslog
[10:07] <chaospsychex> well anyway, pull out the adapter then plug it back in. wait 2 secs after plugging it back in then do 'dmesg' paste the last 10 lines
[10:07] <snow_usa> ok, bye huayra
[10:07] <snow_usa> thanks
[10:08] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok, im looking at it.....
[10:08] <MacroMan> I'm not bothered about getting it working now. I just want my normal display monitors back up and running
[10:09] <raahede> I have a technical issue, who should i report it to?
[10:09] <junglist99> hello
[10:09] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: show me the contents of '/etc/gdm/custom.conf'
[10:09] <MonkeyDust> raahede  maybe someone here can help
[10:09] <MacroMan> That file doesn't exist
[10:10] <MacroMan> I'm not sure if it used to or not
[10:10] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ls | grep /etc/gdm/
[10:10] <juvelu_> ?
[10:10] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: i mean 'ls /etc/gdm/'
[10:11] <MacroMan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842832/
[10:11] <MacroMan> There ^
[10:11] <TA5K> Mmm, I can't click with mouse right now. Mouse curser seans to changed it's icon, but I can't select anything ... ??!?
[10:12] <raahede> Okay, I have a thinkpad edge 0196-2EG where i run ubuntu desktop aside my windows 7 installation. My ubuntu can sometime freeze and I have to hardreset my computer to come into normal conditions again. I also have a IBM thinkpad T41 with a full Ubuntu install and there is no problems at all.. What can cause to freeze problem on the thinkpad 0196-2EG?
[10:12] <lukman> mas mau print
[10:12] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: one sec
[10:13] <MacroMan> K thanks
[10:13] <nixmaniack> hi, I want to create a demo user without displaying it on Login Screen, and no clutter of .skel in it's home directory. How can I do that?
[10:14] <namoamitabuddha> Is there anybody suffering from ipw2200?
[10:14] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: have you tried creating that file it's complaining about and seeing what happens?
[10:14] <MacroMan> I can try that
[10:14] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[10:15] <chaospsychex> CTRL+O to ouput it and then ctrl+x to quit, don't put anything in it just yet
[10:15] <MacroMan> Ok, I need to restart to see if that works
[10:16] <MacroMan> I'll drop from here, but be back on once I've tried it
[10:16] <henkselikapina> part #ubuntu
[10:16] <chaospsychex> he didn't need to restart.....
[10:17] <chaospsychex> :-/
[10:17] <sedataym> hi
[10:17] <chaospsychex> ahoy
[10:18] <azbarcea_> hello everyone ...
[10:18] <azbarcea_> i have a problem with apt
[10:18] <Angablade> And?
[10:18] <azbarcea_> the same discribed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11667234
[10:18] <raahede> Any one who has experienced my above problem?
[10:18] <azbarcea_> the problem is that any-get install, upgrade doesn't fail but reports errors
[10:19] <azbarcea_> does anyone has any suggestion?
[10:19] <MacroMan> Still only boots to command line
[10:19] <chaospsychex> complaining of same msg?
[10:19] <MacroMan> Let me just check the log
[10:20] <Muelli> azbarcea_: can you give us the full output of your problem in a pastebin, please? Otherwise it's hard to tell
[10:20] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: do you have the usb adapter removed?
[10:20] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/pc2evvhe
[10:21] <azbarcea_> the problem occured when muon freezed at 97%
[10:21] <MacroMan> I did when I tried it. I'm using the adapter so I can get on here
[10:21] <azbarcea_> i tried anything I knew (from dpkg --configure -a) to erase cache etc
[10:21] <MacroMan> That's why I had to log out from this channel
[10:22] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Looks bad. Maybe do smth like "apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic" helps?
[10:22] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so this adapter allows you to plug a vga monitor into a usb port?
[10:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the problem got worse when I removed manually the files from /boot with 3.0.0.0-16
[10:23] <Muelli> uh azbarcea_
[10:23] <azbarcea_> Muelly - i tried yesterday that, lets see what happens now
[10:23] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: what video-outs does your board have?
[10:23] <MacroMan> I'm using nvidea card. It has VGA and DVI-I
[10:23] <MacroMan> One monitor in each socket
[10:24] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so your problem is gdm won't start?
[10:24] <MacroMan> hmm, from the log it looks like it's loading the sisusb driver (FOr the usb adapter): http://paste.ubuntu.com/842843/
[10:25] <MacroMan> Yes, gdm won't load wihtout using this usb adapter
[10:25] <MacroMan> It was fine up unitil I plugged that dammed thing in
[10:25] <TA5K> Mousebug: I had to reload the psmouse module "modprobe .r psmouse" ... now it's working .. for how long?!
[10:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I tried anything from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
[10:25] <TA5K> Wow powertop shows "37.0% (506.7)   [Rescheduling interrupts] <kernel IPI>" ... :(
[10:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_: What's the outoput of apt-get install --reinstall?
[10:26] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: show me output of 'lsmod | grep usb'
[10:26] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/zBhPUi5S
[10:26] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: with the adapter removed
[10:26] <MacroMan> OK I need to reboot for that. GIve me a minute
[10:27] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: if you reboot with the adapter removed will gdm start?
[10:27] <Muelli> azbarcea_: sick :-\ So what kernels do you have installed? Check with smth like apt-cache policy linux-kernel. Then, *I*'d apt-get remove the -15 kernel but mind you that it might leave you with an unbootable system.
[10:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the kernel I'm using right now is -15
[10:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the dist-upgrade tried to install -16
[10:29] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, I guess so. I'd remove it and install the -16 right away.
[10:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yesterday I tried to compile -17, but after compile, the install failed with the same error
[10:30] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: welcome back
[10:30] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so you have the adapter in now?
[10:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I try to force install the -16 without loosing the -15
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> !bots
[10:31] <Muelli> azbarcea_: nah, won't work.
[10:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't know to do that (it seams)
[10:31] <Pumpkin-> ./win 32
[10:31] <Pumpkin-> aishfasfa
[10:31] <MacroMan> Hi, 'lsmod | grep usb' show this when the adapter is unplugged: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842853/
[10:32] <MacroMan> Yes I have the adapter plugged in now
[10:32] <Muelli> azbarcea_: but that;s why I asked for the other kernels. If you had other kernels installed, then removing the current one isn't a big deal.
[10:32] <MacroMan> It's the only way I get gdm to load
[10:32] <varnie> Hi.
[10:32] <varnie> I'd like to know how can I install IE on ubuntu.
[10:32] <varnie> I have to perform some checks for my websites.
[10:33] <theadmin> varnie: Search for "ies4linux"
[10:33] <Muelli> varnie: there is "IE4Linux". check google
[10:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this is what i have in /boot http://pastebin.com/puvk3mkG
[10:33] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so you do have the shell showing without using the adapter?
[10:33] <Muelli> azbarcea_: but that;s why I asked for the other kernels. If you had other kernels installed, then removing the current one isn't a big deal.
[10:33] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: are you using xchat right now?
[10:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't think -16 is a working one
[10:33] <MacroMan> No I'm using the web browser

[10:34] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Ok .. let's remove the 15 then
[10:34] <MacroMan> Yes the shell shows without the adapter
[10:34] <MacroMan> This is what 'lsmod ...' is hsowing now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842858/
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok i see....
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok do this
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: unplug this adapter and boot on your other monitor
[10:35] <MacroMan> ok
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: when u get to the shell you will need to run these commands
[10:36] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this is what I have now: http://pastebin.com/pBPHfZVv
[10:36] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo apt-get install irssi
[10:36] <MacroMan> k
[10:36] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: once that command is done, run 'irssi'
[10:36] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: then irssi will start
[10:36] <LinSkyrate> question: How do i resolve hostnames on LAN? i only get the ip adr on all the hosts..
[10:37] <MacroMan> I take it irssi is an irc client
[10:37] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: yes
[10:37] <Dwade09> how do i convert .flv or .mp4 or .avi to .mp3?
[10:37] <Muelli> so azbarcea_, I think you can apt-get purge the -15 one, because you still have the -12 installed :) Actually, apt-get purge both, the -15 and the -16. Oh, and the -17, too.
[10:37] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: once irssi is started you run '/server irc.ubuntu.com'
[10:37] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: then '/nick MacroMan' then 'join #ubuntu'
[10:37] <MacroMan> Ok got it
[10:38] <chaospsychex> so do that and we go from there
[10:38] <MacroMan> I'll be back on in a min
[10:38] <MacroMan> thanks
[10:40] <MacroMan> Hi
[10:40] <chaospsychex> ok
[10:40] <chaospsychex> your not using the adapter now right?
[10:40] <MacroMan> No, it's unplugged
[10:40] <chaospsychex> ok show me 'lsmod | grep usb'
[10:41] <Tedster> Hi!
[10:41] <chaospsychex> oh wait, lol will be hard your at the shell
[10:41] <MacroMan> Can I drop out of irssi keep the session open?
[10:41] <azbarcea_> Muelli: now what: http://pastebin.com/1HUZkWmR
[10:41] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: if you hold ALT and press the right arrow key you will go to another terminal
[10:41] <MacroMan> Ok cool
[10:41] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: if you hold ALT and press the left arrow key u will come back
[10:41] <huyhoa> my flv files are accidentally deleted, how can I recover them?
[10:42] <huyhoa> I tried foremost and scalpel, but they dont support flv
[10:42] <junglist99> can someone help me make my souncard work with prgm mixxx ?
[10:42] <junglist99> please
[10:42] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: on TTY2 do 'lsmod | grep usb' and see if that 'sisusbvga' shows up
[10:42] <llutz> huyhoa:use photorec
[10:42] <MacroMan> Ok, ismod isn't working now
[10:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: lsmod
[10:43] <Lcawte> Hi, I have a server running on my network, and for some reason, it no longer responds to its hostname (before I could connect to lcserv via http and ssh) and now I have to use its lan IP, anyone have any idea why?
[10:43] <chaospsychex> l not i
[10:43] <MacroMan> DOh, typo
[10:43] <chaospsychex> :-)

[10:43] <MacroMan> No it doesn't show
[10:43] <huyhoa> yep, try them now, thx you
[10:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: your on one monitor now? which socket are you using ?
[10:44] <MacroMan> DVI-I
[10:44] <Muelli> azbarcea_: that's good so far.
[10:44] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do a apt-get install linux-image.
[10:44] <junglist99> hello can someone help me make my souncard work with prgm mixxx ?
[10:44] <junglist99> please

[10:45] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok one sec
[10:45] <azbarcea_> Muelli: right now
[10:46] <Halexander9000> Greetings gentlehumans! Does anyone have any idea why clicking fast in a minecraft window makes it lose focus of the cursor and thus force the game display the pause menu?
[10:46] <BarryB> why cant send to channel
[10:46] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: what does 'lsmod | grep video vga' show ?
[10:46] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: well nvm that, type 'gdm' and tell me what happens
[10:46] <Halexander9000> I'm using a LXDE desktop manager with the latest Ubuntu release, and frankly I didn't have this problem back when I was using the Unity Desktop Manager.
[10:47] <llutz> chaospsychex: it will say "file not found"
[10:47] <Lcawte> Hi, I have a server running on my network, and for some reason, it no longer responds to its hostname (before I could connect to lcserv via http and ssh) and now I have to use its lan IP, anyone have any idea why?
[10:47] <BarryB> lists the modules that are related to video vga
[10:47] <azbarcea_> Muelli: now what? http://pastebin.com/KFQ168pF
[10:47] <MacroMan> 'vga: No such file or directory'
[10:47] <BarryB> see if you have the modules
[10:47] <Halexander9000> But keys did get stuck in Unity. They don't in LXDE.
[10:47] <Halexander9000> Could someone please help me?
[10:48] <llutz> chaospsychex: lsmod|grep -E 'video|vga'    you mean
[10:48] <chaospsychex> llutz: yes
[10:48] <Halexander9000> I'd very much appreciate some help.

[10:51] <Gyro54> Hi!
[10:51] <Muelli> azbarcea_: so can you execute smth like "sudo bash -x /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools 3.0.0-16-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-16-generic" and paste the output?
[10:51] <MacroMan> FATAL ERROR: No screens found
[10:51] <Muelli> azbarcea_: have you screwed up anything else that you haven't told us yet? I.e. remove some system packages?
[10:51] <MacroMan> Check Xorg.0.log for more information
[10:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: 'sudo apt-get remove gdm'
[10:51] <BarryB> can anyone help me....im looking for a package for ubuntu 11.04 that will show a nice UI likethe old gnome with a lovely flow....kinda like MAC
[10:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: then 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[10:52] <MacroMan> Is that safe to remove gdm?
[10:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: not as I know
[10:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/qmmE7L2U
[10:52] <Gyro54> My digital output from my sound card has stopped working under 11.10? Still works on windoze. Has there been any similar problems?
[10:52] <MacroMan> Ok, the remove is running
[10:52] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: yes but when u run that command before you press y to continue tell me what is being listed that will be removed, will only be gdm?
[10:52] <MacroMan> Ah, too late
[10:52] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: it's removing ONLY gdm ?
[10:53] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and "sudo bash -x update-initramfs -c -t -k 3.0.0-16-generic -b /boot"?
[10:53] <MacroMan> to remove: gdm gdm-guest ubunut-DESKTOP
[10:53] <theadmin> Nothing really depends on gdm so it should be safe to remove.
[10:53] <theadmin> MacroMan: It's okay, safe
[10:53] <MacroMan> Ok cool
[10:53] <theadmin> MacroMan: Just be sure to install another login manager
[10:53] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo apt-get install gdm
[10:53] <MacroMan> Ok I'll do that now
[10:53] <chaospsychex> wait
[10:53] <theadmin> MacroMan: (try kdm or lxdm)
[10:54] <chaospsychex> sudo apt-get purge gdm
[10:54] <chaospsychex> run that
[10:54] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/rfG0pxfi
[10:54] <MacroMan> hang on, am I installing gdm, kdm or what?
[10:54] <chaospsychex> gdm, but first purge
[10:54] <theadmin> MacroMan: Whatever login manager works for you :D
[10:54] <Halexander9000> Hello there. Anyone? A little help? I can't seem to find the option that when checked disables mouse while typing. It might be the one that's causing me these problems. Anyone?
[10:54] <MacroMan> Oh I see, gdm is the login manager
[10:54] <theadmin> MacroMan: Yesh.
[10:55] <MacroMan> Ok well I've actually done apt-get install gdm which has finished
[10:55] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo gdm
[10:55] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic"?
[10:55] <MacroMan> Shall I remove and try kdm?
[10:55] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/4PPxGrTB
[10:55] <chaospsychex> no 'sudo gdm' see if works
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/mouse-disabletouchpad.html   maybe
[10:55] <theadmin> chaospsychex: dafuq?... Don't use that... "sudo service gdm start" is the proper way
[10:55] <MacroMan> sudo gdm. Same errors as before
[10:55] <chaospsychex> sudo service gdm start
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271052&highlight=disable+touchpad+while+typing  or that maybe
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/ubuntu-automatically-disable-touchpad.html
[10:56] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Sir, but I'm using LXDE, I doubt it has the same "Control panel" you're used to in Unity.
[10:56] <MacroMan> it worked. gdm running, process 2990
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: the last link is CLI, DE independant
[10:56] <MacroMan> But I'm still on the command line
[10:56] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok now ALT+F7
[10:56] <theadmin> MacroMan: Very well, hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 and see if you can see the login box
[10:56] <theadmin> chaospsychex: You're forgetting the ctrl
[10:57] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Thanks. I'll give it a go and see if it works.
[10:57] <chaospsychex> theadmin: u don't need the ctrl outside of DE ?
[10:57] <azbarcea_> Muelli: paste to long ... just the last lines: http://pastebin.com/MRRGXAFe
[10:57] <MacroMan> Ok, it's trying to start Virtualbox kernal modules
[10:57] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: inside the DE u need to use the ctrl with alt
[10:57] <MacroMan> the DE?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> MacroMan: may want to get updates in CLI too, may help
[10:57] <Muelli> so azbarcea_, can it be that "gzip" is missing?
[10:57] <theadmin> chaospsychex: Oh, really? Hm. Wasn't aware of that, I always just Ctrl-Alt-F{ttynumber}
[10:58] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok so you logged in and gnome is starting?
[10:58] <fifex> hi
[10:58] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: DE is Desktop Environment
[10:58] <Muelli> azbarcea_: or cpio.
[10:58] <fifex> y a t il des français ?
[10:58] <MacroMan> Well it says "Starting Virtualbox Kernal modules"
[10:58] <yuler> Having trouble with Wacom Bamboo under Maverick.  Using dkms module v0.8.10.2, the cursor position is absolute and, using mypaint, I cannot lift the pen and start a new stroke.  The xf86 driver simply doesn't work.  Bamboo works fine under 11.10 (LiveCD).
[10:58] <theadmin> !fr | fifex
[10:59] <MacroMan> No login box
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: does it work in Oneiric liveCD?
[10:59] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/sE6ZHpQQ
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: sorry, didn't read the end
[10:59] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: do you see the GDM at F7?
[10:59] <yuler> ActionParsnip: if Oneric is 11.10, yes
[10:59] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. interesting. What do "type -a gzip" or "type -a cpio" say?
[10:59] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/0jFshngU
[10:59] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: do you see the login screen on F7?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: maverick is EOL in April, so I wouldn't waste much time in Maverick and get upgraded
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: yes oneiric is 11.10
[10:59] <MacroMan> No I see a screen telling me the last thing I put
[11:00] <yuler> ActionParsnip: if I didn't want to waste time, I would not have asked
[11:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/rAKKJ5Fh
[11:00] <MacroMan> But it still looks like command line
[11:00] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: hold ALT and press the right arrow key
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> yuler: when maverick is EOL you will get no updates and no support here....
[11:00] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. k. Then what is actually line 355 of /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs?
[11:00] <chaospsychex> is 8?
[11:00] <yuler> ActionParsnip: until them, my question stands
[11:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lets see
[11:00] <MacroMan> Yes, I get to another command promtp
[11:01] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: tty8?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> yuler: fair enough, thats fine :)
[11:01] <MacroMan> I've cycled through all 7 and nothing
[11:01] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok go to tty2
[11:01] <MacroMan> There isn't a tty8
[11:01] <MacroMan> ok
[11:01] <chaospsychex> sudo ps aux | grep gdm
[11:02] <chaospsychex> what does it show
[11:02] <Gyro54> The answer was to reset to analogue and then change back to digital - fixed the problem
[11:02] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/fERv7Qs3
[11:03] <MacroMan> Ok I get this: "david 3314 0.0 0.0 3328 812 tty2 S+ 11:02 0:00 grep --color=auto gdm"
[11:03] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok is this VM?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: i suggest to add:  | grep -v grep     so grep itself doesn't show
[11:03] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo pkill x
[11:03] <MacroMan> VM as in virtual machine?
[11:03] <MacroMan> No it's not
[11:04] <llutz> chaospsychex: "pgrep gdm"
[11:04] <MacroMan> Ok I did sudo pkill x
[11:04] <Simon1245> Hey guys, could someone tell me how to connect "My Documents" from Windows to Linux and changes made in Linux happens on Windows aswell, would be appericated if someoen could help me step by step :)
[11:04] <Muelli> eh azbarcea_. More context would be good, i.e. to see were ec2 comes from :-\ Maybe use wgetpaste or smth like that to conveniently post the thing.
[11:04] <damo22> Simon1245, you could create a separate partition for your stuff
[11:04] <MacroMan> "pgrep gdm" doesn't do anything
[11:04] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: reboot
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: is it an internel partition
[11:04] <MacroMan> OK, be back in a min
[11:04] <llutz> MacroMan: so no gdm running
[11:05] <chaospsychex> k
[11:05] <damo22> Simon1245, using an NTFS or FAT32 partition that both OS can see
[11:05] <Simon1245> damo22, How would that work?
[11:05] <Simon1245> damo22, No idea, ActionParsnip what does that mean lol
[11:06] <damo22> Simon1245, basically its a segment of your hard disk dedicated to your important files, and both OS can Read and Write to it
[11:07] <david> OK, it booted back to command line
[11:07] <Guest45827> ah damn
[11:07] <damo22> Simon1245, is that what youre after?
[11:07] <Guest45827> I didn't login to MacroMan quick enough
[11:07] <Simon1245> damo22, How can I check wether it's NTFS or FAT32?
[11:08] <Simon1245> damo22, Yes so basically if I'm working on linux and saves something that it appears on Windows when I switch to Windows partition
[11:08] <damo22> Simon1245, it doesnt exist on your machine yet, im saying its one way you can set things up
[11:09] <david__> Ok I'm back
[11:09] <david__> It's MacroMan
[11:09] <Simon1245> damo22, I want something that could save changes I made in one OS to another so I don't have to switch it manually, it's hard to explain lol
[11:09] <chaospsychex> david__: so what happened
[11:09] <damo22> Simon1245, this is why i recommend splitting your important data into a separate partition
[11:09] <david__> Just booted back to command line
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: is it on a disk INSIDE the system?
[11:10] <david__> But did do a disk check when it started
[11:10] <kaiowas> Hi, just wondering if anyone here has installed Ubuntu on a Mac and could answer a couple of questions?
[11:10] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, Yeah it's on the harddrive in the computer, not using any external one if that's what you mean
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: Ubuntu can access your NTFS partitions easily, just have it mount at boot then make a symlink for easy access
[11:10] <david__> Shall I try removing gdm and putting on kdm instead?
[11:11] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Easiest way to find out is to ask your questions. If anyone can answer them, they probably will :)
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: yes, its on a drive inside your system, so its an internal partitions
[11:11] <chaospsychex> david__: do you run the purge command before you reinstalled gdm ?
[11:11] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: Right :)
[11:11] <damo22> Simon1245, can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l
[11:11] <david__> No, was I supposed to?
[11:11] <damo22> Simon1245, to a pastebin
[11:11] <Simon1245> damo22, sure
[11:11] <david__> So apt-get remove gdm
[11:11] <david__> apt-get purge gdm
[11:11] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, I see :) your way seems easier how can I do it?
[11:11] <chaospsychex> apt-get remove --purge gdm
[11:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551332/
[11:11] <david__> then apt-get install gdm
[11:11] <chaospsychex> yes
[11:11] <chaospsychex> prefixed with sudo ofcourse
[11:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: great tool that wgetpaste ... thx ...
[11:11] <david__> Ok, let me do that quickly
[11:11] <chaospsychex> ok
[11:11] <kaiowas> How much space will Ubuntu take installed? I thought 20gb should be enough for a Ubuntu partition, so i can play around some with it.
[11:12] <doug_> :q
[11:12] <chaospsychex> ubuntu will take 19.5gb
[11:12] <chaospsychex> j/k
[11:12] <damo22> chaospsychex, O_o
[11:12] <david__> hmm, my tty2 is stuck starting apache.
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: you will need to add an entry for it in /etc/fstab so that it mounts at boot
[11:12] <Myrtti> kaiowas: depends on how you'll partition and plan your system
[11:12] <kaiowas> they are good at compressing those files then ;)
[11:12] <Simon1245> damo22, http://pastebin.com/1Eb5si8d
[11:12] <chaospsychex> david__: why is it trying to start apache?
[11:12] <Myrtti> chaospsychex: if you don't have constructive and actually helpful things to say, then don't.
[11:12] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: A default install of Ubuntu takes a little less than 3 GiB last I checked. How much space you need beyond that depens on what files you store and what applications you install.
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> kaiowas: my full gnome desktop is about 4Gb in size with all the codecs and so forth
[11:13] <kaiowas> Myrtti: First time install.. so this will be just a partition so i can learn Ubuntu.
[11:13] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, could you show me how to do it like step by step as I'm a beginner to this.
[11:13] <david__> I have apache running on my machine by default
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs | Simon1245
[11:13] <david__> I'll worry about that later
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: there are plenty of guides around
[11:13] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, Thanks :) Checking it now :)
[11:13] <damo22> Simon1245, you have too many swap partitions!
[11:14] <david__> Don't I need to re-install ubuntu-desktop since it was removed when I first did apt-get remove gdm?
[11:14] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. It tries to do a  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5". Can you do that?
[11:14] <kaiowas> So, to partition my drive i should go to the Bootcamp program and do the same way as i install windows.. then install refit?
[11:14] <chaospsychex> david__: yes, was that re-installed when gdm was re-installed?
[11:14] <chaospsychex> david__: it should of installed it when gdm was installed, depends
[11:14] <david__> No, when I removed gdm again, it didn't show it for removal
[11:15] <chaospsychex> sudo apt-get install gdm
[11:15] <chaospsychex> dont hit anything
[11:15] <david__> how do I check if I have it
[11:15] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: No. Boot Camp will create a "hybrid" mbr, which is only needed because Windows can't boot from GPT on BIOS systems. If you're not using Windows, you don't want a hybrid mbr.
[11:15] <Simon1245> damo22, What does that mean lol
[11:15] <chaospsychex> david__: have what?
[11:15] <david__> ubuntu-desktop?
[11:15] <kaiowas> Jordan: Ok, so just go to diskutilities and make one more partition of the free space i have?
[11:15] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551333/
[11:16] <david__> Actually the apt-get install for gdm sisn't install it
[11:16] <david__> Can I do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[11:16] <damo22> Simon1245, it appears that you have a hidden windows partition, plus 2 NTFS partitions plus a linux one and 3 swap partitions
[11:16] <chaospsychex> david__: ok so 'sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop' first
[11:16] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Looks good. Can you do a "echo $?" immediately after the find?
[11:16] <azbarcea_> Muelli: no headers
[11:17] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: That hasn't helped sir.
[11:17] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Follow the directions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download , and also install rEFIt just for ease (it's not needed, but it's convenient)
[11:17] <david__> Ok, now install?
[11:17] <azbarcea_> Muelli: shouldn't be some headers there?
[11:17] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:17] <david__> Ok Downloading
[11:17] <chaospsychex> david__: then 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[11:17] <david__> it's 10mb
[11:17] <Simon1245> damo22, the hidden one is Windows recovery one, the 2 NTFS is one C: and one :D for like backup files, linux one is kinda obvious and got no idea what the 3 swap one means lol
[11:17] <david__> I already have gdm though
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: thats all I know dude, sorry. Not something I use
[11:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: output is: 0
[11:18] <damo22> Simon1245, do you want 4Gb of extra space as a E:?
[11:18] <Muelli> no azbarcea_, why? It's the initramdisk, the thing that gets loaded even before your OS is loaded.
[11:18] <chaospsychex> david__: did you purge before you 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desltop' ?
[11:18] <farrukhjon> how about upgrading linux kernel from kernel.org from trabal, is who tried it
[11:18] <david__> Yes
[11:18] <Simon1245> E: linux one?
[11:18] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: Thank you. If i don't install rEFIt i can just hold the ALT key and choose the Ubuntu partition?
[11:18] <david__> It's also instsalling linux-headers-generic
[11:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ echo $?
[11:18] <azbarcea_> 0
[11:18] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: By any chance, you wouldn't happen to know the LXDE chat room here? Whenever I /list the channels on this network, pidgin crashes.
[11:19] <david__> Ok that's complete now
[11:19] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Yes. Though it will be incorrectly labeled "Windows" by Apple's firmware.
[11:19] <chaospsychex> david__:  try 'sudo service start ubuntu-desktop'
[11:19] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Weird. I don't really get it then. cpio might be failing. So can you do the find /path/to/smth | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc; echo $?   ? where /path/to  is the path in /tmp/
[11:19] <damo22> Simon1245, there is 4Gb of extra space floating around you could use as Windows E: / Linux /dev/sda6
[11:19] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: You should also use the +mac iso, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso
[11:19] <Dwade09> im trying to make an audio cd but k3b wont let me says .mp3 is unsupported
[11:19] <david__> "unrecorgnized service"
[11:19] <Simon1245> damo22, Sure :D would be good as it's for no use anyways :) How can I do that?
[11:19] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: Oh, thanks for telling me about that one, i made a usb stick of the 64 bit.. but not Mac iso.
[11:20] <chaospsychex> david__: service start gdm
[11:20] <junglist99> can someone help me make my souncard work with prgm mixxx ?
[11:20] <junglist99> please
[11:20] <terminhell> Halexander9000: there are far too many rooms for pidgin to handle. just try /join #lxde
[11:20] <david__> same thing
[11:20] <MonkeyDu1t> !info mixxx
[11:20] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Making a USB stick which is properly bootable on a mac is a hastle, and probably not worth the trouble if you can just burn a CD>
[11:20] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo service start gdm
[11:20] <damo22> Simon1245, run sudo gparted
[11:20] <david__> That's what I did
[11:21] <winnie666> when modifiing a live iso, should i place special scripts in /usr/share or /etc? will ubiquity still install those files to HD?
[11:21] <Halexander9000> Thanks terminhell!
[11:21] <chaospsychex> david__: ok hold on one sec
[11:21] <Simon1245> damo22, Command not found
[11:21] <david__> OK thanks
[11:21] <david__> I really appreciate your help so far
[11:21] <Simon1245> damo22, Can I open private chat with you btw?
[11:21] <damo22> Simon1245, sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:21] <damo22> ok
[11:21] <chaospsychex> david__: what version of ubuntu ?
[11:21] <david__> 10.04 lts
[11:21] <Dwade09> hello?
[11:21] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: I dont have any cds.. I followed the instructions and I think i got it installed.. but now when i think about it, it wasnt bootable.. I guess i have to go and buy some CDs :).
[11:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't know if I understand, the "$ sudo find . -name *smth*" returns nothing
[11:22] <terminhell> kaiowas: do you have a flash drive?
[11:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: or smth is something ...
[11:22] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:22] <Muelli> azbarcea_: I mean  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc; echo $?"
[11:22] <kaiowas> terminhell: do you mean if i have a solidstate? No its a normal harddrive.
[11:23] <terminhell> kaiowas: no i mean do you a usb thumb drive. You can use those to boot
[11:23] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ugly - the output is binary
[11:23] <david__> The screen flickered for a few seconds
[11:23] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: There are instructions for making a USB drive which is bootable by a mac at the page I linked to, but they are complicated, not recommended, and will have you booting in EFI mode which will cause problems with graphics drivers. Also, if you do end up going the USB route you would have to *not* use the +mac iso.
[11:23] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. but that's good *thinking*. Make it smth like this:
[11:24] <tumppu> unetbootin
[11:24] <Muelli> azbarcea_:  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc> /tmp/foo.cpio; echo $?"
[11:24] <terminhell> ehh, or not, thumb drive imagine is easier than burning a cd
[11:24] <terminhell> just use dd
[11:24] <kaiowas> terminhell: i do, but it didnt show up when i tried booting it after i tried installing it on a usb.
[11:24] <david__> So I think it failed to start again. That's what it was doing when I was trying that earlier
[11:24] <theadmin> terminhell: For burning a cd just use wodim... easy too :D
[11:24] <Jordan_U> terminhell: For an intel mac booting from USB is much more of a hastle due to firmware bugs.
[11:24] <chaospsychex> david__: no, go over to tty7
[11:24] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: okey, you convinced me of buying some cds. :).
[11:24] <terminhell> kaiowas: change your bios options to make your usb boot first
[11:25] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: :)
[11:25] <kaiowas> terminhell: it doesnt work like that on Mac
[11:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: binary too
[11:25] <terminhell> silly mac's
[11:25] <david__> It's sitting on "Starting AppArmor profiles!
[11:25] <david__> "
[11:25] <kaiowas> :)
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> USB doesn't use moving parts so is awesome
[11:25] <ZoFreX> am I correct in thinking that if I chown zofrex:www-data a directory and set chmod g+s, new files created in that directory should have owner zofrex and group www-data?
[11:25] <david__> I now have a tty8, but it's comletely blank
[11:25] <Muelli> azbarcea_:  erm, onto your terminal? It should all be in the file now and everything you see on your terminal shuold be "0"... Isn't it?
[11:25] <david__> Just a flashing cursor
[11:25] <chaospsychex> one sec
[11:26] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i mean the foo.cpio is gibberish
[11:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_: nice. That's good. Now do smth like
[11:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_:  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc | gzip > /tmp/foo.cpio.gz; echo $?"
[11:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_: it should print 0 on your terminal.
[11:26] <david__> chaospsychex: I need to have a break. I'll be back in 10
[11:26] <chaospsychex> david__: wait
[11:27] <david__brb> Ok I'm waiting
[11:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yes it is 0 and I have the .gz file
[11:27] <chaospsychex> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:27] <Muelli> azbarcea_: weird then. I don't think I understand what's going on. *thinking*
[11:28] <david__> Ok
[11:28] <chaospsychex> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 16M 2012-02-15 13:27 /tmp/foo.cpio.gz
[11:28] <david__> Same thing. Just a flickereing screen
[11:28] <david__> tty7 and 8 are the same
[11:28] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do you have anything in /etc/initramfs-tools ? If you, it might be worth moving the contents out and try again.
[11:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: you were rith ... the output was 0
[11:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: but the command created that /tmp/foo.cpio.gz file ...
[11:29] <chaospsychex> david__: what does 'sudo startx' do
[11:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: what do I do with that 16M archive?
[11:29] <david__> Same as before: "no screens found"
[11:29] <Halexander9000> Guys, I need to enable touchpad while typing. Can anyone help me please? Preferably using the terminal, since I'm not using the Unity desktop manager, but the LXDE one.
[11:29] <Muelli> azbarcea_: just leave it for now. It was just a test whether your tools work correctly.
[11:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this is what is have in /etc/initramfs-tools: conf.d  hooks  initramfs.conf  modules  scripts  update-initramfs.conf
[11:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Ok :)
[11:30] <david__> Ok I thing it must be a Xorg issue
[11:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: now what?
[11:31] <chaospsychex> david__: ok do 'sudo lsmod | less' and go through and see if you see sisusbvga
[11:31] <Muelli> k azbarcea_. Let's try to following: "sudo cp -ar /etc/initramfs-tools{,.bak}" and if that was successful, delete the whole thing, i.e. "sudo rm -r /etc/initramfs-tools/".
[11:31] <chaospsychex> david__: i'm thinking the driver for the adapter is being used
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: unity isn't a desktop, its a shell. It uses Gnome as the default desktop
[11:31] <Muelli> azbarcea_: then, let's try the mkinitramfs command again. I don't know how it was called though *searching*
[11:32] <terminhell> Halexander9000:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics
[11:32] <Muelli> azbarcea_: after you removed the directory, try a "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic" again.
[11:33] <david__> No 'sisusbvag'
[11:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic
[11:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ok!
[11:33] <sideev> Am pretty new to ubuntu, can someone tell me what xfce is ?
[11:33] <david__> There is "vga16fb" and "vgastate"
[11:33] <Muelli> azbarcea_: works?
[11:33] <freddy__> hi
[11:33] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I herp-derped out of ignorance. Thanks for correcting me.
[11:33] <terminhell> sideev: xfce is a different GUI
[11:33] <shaibn> Hello :) Even though I use --state-cache-days=365 with debmirror ; I keep getting 'State cache file does not exist; doing full mirroring' ; which in turn, takes the entire process a long long time. Why won't the cache exist if I use the state cache argument?
[11:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the same ... E: mkinitramfs failure find 141 cpio 141 gzip 1 ... should I send all the output?
[11:34] <david__> I'm just going to check the xorg.conf file to see if there is anything in there
[11:34] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. yeah.
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: np man
[11:34] <sideev> terminhell: can i install it on my existing ubuntu? Ubuntu is having difficulty managing power
[11:34] <chaospsychex> david__: is your card an nvidia?
[11:34] <david__> Yes
[11:35] <chaospsychex> did u see nvidia in lsmod
[11:35] <david__> I wasn't using the nvidea drivers though, just the ones that came with ubuntu
[11:35] <terminhell> sideev: yes. You can also adjust power settings too
[11:35] <chaospsychex> oh
[11:35] <sideev> terminhell: is xubuntu is the xfce version of ubuntu?
[11:35] <theadmin> sideev: Correct.
[11:35] <terminhell> sideev: yes
[11:36] <david__> Nothing in the config
[11:36] <chaospsychex> ok do this
[11:36] <freddy__> have a problem mounting a vfat usbstick on my 10.4 ubuntu server. when using mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /mng/usbstick it says wrong fs type.. when I say -t usbfs I can mount it but not copy files to it ... ?
[11:36] <chaospsychex> sudo service gdm stop
[11:36] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo Xorg-configure
[11:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551357/
[11:37] <Jordan_U> freddy__: What if you don't provide any -t argument at all?
[11:37] <taylanub> i can't find Tor with aptitude search ?
[11:37] <david__> OK I think I actually know what's happened
[11:37] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:37] <sideev> terminhell: theadmin Have been using ubuntu for 2 months now, 2 battery cells have dried up yet due to poor power management. It is consuming too much power. and getting heated up soon.
[11:37] <david__> I'm just going to reboot, I'll be back on in a sec
[11:37] <chaospsychex> wait
[11:37] <chaospsychex> run these commands first
[11:38] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. so the error code "141" that is returned by both, find and cpio, might come from the shell, i.e. bash. And 141 apparently is SIGPIPE. So why do the process get SIGPIPE..? Can you wgetpaste "dmesg" and "tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog" or /var/log/messages? Double check for sensitive data.
[11:38] <chaospsychex> sudo Xorg-configure
[11:38] <david__> There was a config file in the xorg.cond.d directory specific to that usbvga adapter
[11:38] <freddy__> Jordan_U: 'you must specify file system type '
[11:38] <Jordan_U> freddy__: usbfs is almost certainly *not* what you want.
[11:38] <freddy__> Jordan_U: ok -
[11:38] <david__> Xorg-configure - Command not found
[11:38] <Jordan_U> freddy__: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[11:38] <chaospsychex> david__: did u delete it
[11:38] <david__> No I've moved it
[11:38] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ohhh ... my /bin/sh doesn't poit to dash but to bash!
[11:38] <chaospsychex> ok reboot
[11:38] <freddy__> pastebin ?
[11:39] <sideev> terminhell: What I understand is that am running GNOME now, can I install xubuntu too?
[11:39] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I had to change that because of bitbake (scripts)
[11:39] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. shouldn't be a problem. But you can try to revert that.
[11:39] <auronandace> !xfce | sideev
[11:39] <azbarcea_> Muelli: good idea ...
[11:39] <terminhell> sideev:  yes, after you install it, log out and change session to xfce
[11:40] <Muelli> azbarcea_: well, before you get us the dmesg and syslog output or try again after the bash/dash move, do a apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools first.
[11:41] <azbarcea_> Muelli: changed bash to dash
[11:41] <auronandace> sideev: switching to xfce won't make the power management issue go away, its a regression in the kernel (fixed in 3.2.5 though)
[11:41] <Muelli> azbarcea_: apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools
[11:41] <taylanub> is there no Tor daemon in the repositories ?
[11:42] <Muelli> azbarcea_: then "dmesg | wgetpaste" and "cat /var/log/messages | wgetpaste"
[11:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli: reinstalled initramfs-tools http://pastebin.com/RxKtcrNt
[11:42] <MacroMan> YAY!!!
[11:42] <sideev> auronandace: Oh! I see. What should I do then? :-|
[11:42] <MacroMan> It's working
[11:42] <OerHeks> !tor | taylanub
[11:42]  * taylanub twitches .. 'wgetpaste < /var/log/messages' that
[11:42] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: awesome
[11:42] <terminhell> sideev:  upgrade your kernel
[11:42] <auronandace> sideev: wait for precise to be released in april
[11:42] <MacroMan> It was that config file in the xorg directory
[11:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli dmesg - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551360/
[11:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so you were using that usb adapter to add a 3rd screen?
[11:43] <taylanub> OerHeks: thanks, but 'aptitude search tor' doesn't seem to find it
[11:43] <MacroMan> Thank you so much for your help and patience
[11:43] <MacroMan> Yes that's right
[11:43] <sideev> terminhell: auronandace And where can I update the kernel?
[11:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: np, i'm sure there is a way to configure xorg to only use that .conf file when the device is present and only for that device
[11:43] <k2s> I have USB headset and would like to make Skype ring on all devices, but use only headset for call. At this moment I have to change sound settings before/after call. thx
[11:43] <MacroMan> I'm a developer and it would be handy to have a 3rd screen
[11:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: what do u develope? you code?
[11:43] <MacroMan> Yes, I'll have a google around
[11:43] <terminhell> sideev: i doubt ubuntu has the latest kernel in its repo's atm
[11:43] <MacroMan> Yes, PHP
[11:44] <auronandace> sideev: running a different kernel means we can't support you here if anything goes wrong
[11:44] <OerHeks> !info tor
[11:44] <axitkhurana> Hi, I'm using ubuntu 10.04, Dell studio 1435, My motherboard was replaced today, now the internet is not working on ubuntu

[11:44] <auronandace> !ppa | sideev
[11:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't have /var/log/messages - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551361/, maybe syslog?
[11:44] <taylanub> um, need to update some package cache perhaps
[11:44] <MacroMan> Yes, I really need to update it. It looks really crap. www.wakelin.co.cc
[11:44] <taylanub> (not a Ubuntu user, personally)
[11:44] <BarryB> anyone here actually like UNITY in 11.10?
[11:45] <Muelli> yeah azbarcea_. syslog is good.
[11:45] <sideev> auronandace: terminhell Damn. Am so confused. :-( What to do then?
[11:45] <auronandace> sideev: wait for 12.04 or try the ppa (knowing the risks)
[11:45] <terminhell> sideev: either wait for the next release of ubuntu, or use another distro
[11:45] <c31r2g> ppa?
[11:45] <Abooda> has anybody here used the German language freeware . de toolbar? I am trying to remove it from Mozilla FF, but am finding it difficult (poss as I don't know German)

[11:46] <auronandace> sideev: up to you. its not stable so there are risks
[11:46] <taylanub> ran uptitude update and still no tor .. must be related to my setup  (some virtual machine...)
[11:46] <MacroMan> Cool. Are you a developer?
[11:47] <c31r2g> !ppa
[11:47] <Muelli> oh azbarcea_. that does't look good. So you have the working -12 kernel, right? Reboot into that. Your binary driver messed smth up and your filesystems seem to be remounted read-only. So a fresh boot might help...
[11:47] <auronandace> !12.04 | sideev
[11:47] <azbarcea_> Muelli: if you don't like that efi stuff, I hate it too
[11:47] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: check pm

[11:49] <azbarcea_> Muelli: if something goes wrong ... we-ll meet in livecd chrooted :)
[11:49] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: yeah python
[11:49] <Muelli> azbarcea_: well. the -12 kernel should boot. you might have to select it though.
[11:49] <auronandace> sideev: alpha usually involves implementing features, beta is usually bug-fixing and then you get the rc and actual release (by then it is safe to use)
[11:49] <Xeli> Hey, I've just updated to gnome3, how can I 'snap' windows to a corner of the screen, I used to be able to do this with ctrl alt <numpad #>
[11:49] <MacroMan> chaospsychex: I'm still using irssi. I looked python once. Looked good, but I don't really have a need for it
[11:49] <reSPAWNed> Hi everyone!
[11:50] <terminhell> MacroMan: just drag to the side until the mouse touches screen edge
[11:50] <shaibn> Hello :) Even though I use --state-cache-days=365 with debmirror ; I keep getting 'State cache file does not exist; doing full mirroring' ; which in turn, takes the entire process a long long time. Why won't the cache exist if I use the state cache argument?
[11:51] <MacroMan> chaospsychex: I don't understand. I'm i a terminal window
[11:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: u can change windows in irssi by holding ALT and hitting a number key 'ALT+3'
[11:51] <sideev> auronandace: Oh. Thanks for info.
[11:51] <sideev> auronandace: Why the issue is there though? It is all about kernel?
[11:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: u see one blinking? 3 maybe?
[11:52] <auronandace> sideev: yes, it is a regression in the kernel
[11:52] <terminhell> Xeli:  just drag to the side until the mouse touches screen edge
[11:52] <reSPAWNed> I have a perhaps very basic question about compiling a linux distribution...
[11:52] <Seryth> Is there a way to put a scrolling bg on the desktop? I want to have a whole set of images rotated through every 10 seconds...
[11:52] <Xeli> terminhell: that doesn't work
[11:52] <auronandace> reSPAWNed: maybe ##linux is more suitable
[11:52] <reSPAWNed> How do I install my newly compiled distribution on a machine?
[11:53] <terminhell> Xeli: do you have gnome-shell too?
[11:53] <Xeli> terminhell: I think so, at login I picked gnome-classic
[11:53] <azbarcea_> Muelli: "uname -a" Linux horus 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:53] <reSPAWNed> @auronandace: perhaps... but I thought I would try here first.
[11:53] <dgulan> use english
[11:53] <terminhell> Xeli: thats your problem
[11:53] <reSPAWNed> auronandace: perhaps... but I thought I would try here first.
[11:53] <dgulan> use english?
[11:53] <dgulan> can i use Chinese?
[11:53] <Xeli> terminhell: ah let me try the non classic, brb
[11:53] <auronandace> reSPAWNed: this is just for support with ubuntu specifically
[11:54] <dgulan> 测试
[11:54] <krissed> in gnome ive made a script. I need to make a shortcut or somthing which always runs the script in terminal and with the preamble sudo infront. basicly prompting the user to type in the password before it executes. ow ?
[11:54] <auronandace> !cn | dgulan
[11:54] <crizzy_> krissed: gksudo
[11:54] <reSPAWNed> @auronandace: Oh, ok... I'll try another channel... Thx
[11:54] <krissed> crizzy_ where would i put gksudo command ?? thats sorta the problem
[11:55] <crizzy_> krissed: in your bash script
[11:55] <crizzy_> or
[11:55] <crizzy_> basically you'll need to do a wrapper script
[11:55] <sideev> auronandace: How can I check if am running on latest version of kernel or not
[11:55] <crizzy_> like, #!/bin/sh, gksudo /your/real/script.sh
[11:55] <auronandace> sideev: uname -a
[11:55] <terminhell> sideev: uname -a
[11:55] <crizzy_> with newline, not , obviously :)
[11:55] <terminhell> doh >.<
[11:55] <crizzy_> then make shortcut to this script
[11:56] <Xeli> terminhell: yes now it works, is it possible to make a keybinding for this?
[11:56] <terminhell> Xeli: probably, but ive never bothered with it
[11:56] <Xeli> ah, do you happend to know the name of this behavior? Im having problems googling for it.. :p
[11:57] <Seryth> Is there a way to put a scrolling bg on the desktop? I want to have a whole set of images rotated through every 10 seconds...I'm using 11.10 with xfce
[11:57] <terminhell> Xeli: tiling
[11:57] <terminhell> Xeli: check in either gconf or dconf editors
[11:58]  * reSPAWNed is leaving...
[11:58] <kaushal> Hi
[11:58] <sideev> auronandace: terminhell 3.0.0-15-generic-pae #26-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 20 17:07:31 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[11:59] <terminhell> Xeli: not sure if this helps https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
[11:59] <auronandace> sideev: there is an update, but you won't get 3.2.5 or higher on 11.10 unless you deliberately install it
[12:00] <auronandace> !info linux-generic
[12:00] <terminhell> sideev: i wouldnt attempt going outside of the stable kernels for ubuntu. weird weird things can happen.
[12:00] <sideev> auronandace: And how can i install it?
[12:01] <sideev> terminhell: The one am having is the latest stable kernels? o
[12:01] <krissed> crizzy_ i have a script.. in this script i do some editing that requires sudo.. however when i execute the script it just gives me access denied. it doesnt ask me for password at all. why ?
[12:01] <terminhell> sideev: most likely
[12:01] <krissed> crizzy_ every command that needs the sudo inside the script starts with sudo
[12:02] <auronandace> sideev: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade (that will get you the latest in the repo which is 3.0.0.16)
[12:03] <denis_> my firefox crashes non stop, even after reinstallation, since last upadate. how can i fix it?
[12:03] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i did another apt-get upgade ... got the same errors, the system asked me to restart, I did, the default option was kernel -16, which it freeze (with keyboard leds flashing), now i'm in  kernel -12 again
[12:03] <crizzy_> krissed: execute this script via a wrapper script like i said
[12:04] <krissed> ah ok. sorry didnt see that line untill just now
[12:04] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Can you get us dmesg and syslog again?
[12:04] <crizzy_> krissed: 1) script that calls your script with gksudo - this script is callable by everyone 2) your actual scrip which executes only with sudo, called by script 1
[12:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sure
[12:04] <crizzy_> krissed: then make a shortcut to the first script
[12:04] <krissed> crizzy_ excelent. thanks
[12:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: dmesg is http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551370/ and syslog is http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551371/
[12:05] <Oli> Anybody know where Gedit 3's settings are stored? I'm trying to migrate settings from one account to another but I've now copied everything in $(find . -iname '*gedit*') and it's still using stock settings.
[12:05] <Muelli> Oli: gconf respective dconf
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Oli: try:  find $HOME | grep -i gedi
[12:06] <sideev> terminhell: auronandace Thanks for all the help. Really mean it. Learned so many things. And still want to learn a lot. Sometimes I find IRC chat better than a google search. Thanks again. :)
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Oli: may also be in dconf
[12:06] <Oli> ActionParsnip: that's essentially what I've done
[12:06] <terminhell> sideev: your welcome. good luck
[12:06] <auronandace> sideev: no worries :)
[12:06] <Oli> Muelli & ActionParsnip: Any ideas how to extract the settings from one dconf and move them over?
[12:06] <Muelli> azbarcea_: you've got the very same errors again. Can you see that in dmesg? I don't think it make sense but to minimize the error potential, I'd remove the nvidia binary driver. If that's possible that is :-| Maybe remove all kernels after -12.
[12:07] <Muelli> Oli: not right now, but there is gconftool-2 and I'm confident, that there is a dconf-tool (or the like). Google will know.
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Oli: not sure tbh, does dconf have a man page?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> !find dconf
[12:08] <azbarcea_> Muelli: only -16 is after -12 left
[12:08] <terminhell> dconf exists, dbus editing
[12:08] <terminhell> dang op bot >.<
[12:08] <tensorpudding> gosh darn it, how is it possible for virtualbox-dkms to desynchronize from the kernel version
[12:08] <magentium__> Hello everyone :)
[12:10] <raahede> How do I over SSH disable the login screen on a Ubuntu 11.10 desktop ?
[12:10] <terminhell> tensorpudding: very carefully?
[12:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: remove -16 with errors http://pastebin.com/c3ZLjGfX
[12:11] <terminhell> raahede: why would you do that? and what, like the gdm?
[12:11] <tensorpudding> so i guess if you use virtualbox in ubuntu you always have to be in fear of updates bumping the kernel version and breaking guest additions
[12:11] <iceroot> raahede: you want that the system will start with cli instead of a gui? or auto-login?
[12:12] <iceroot> tensorpudding: no
[12:12] <tensorpudding> or i guess i have to wait until someone pushes an update that fixes it
[12:12] <iceroot> tensorpudding: not if you are using everyting from the repos
[12:12] <tensorpudding> oh, i definitely am
[12:12] <Halexander9000> Can anyone help me with a minecraft issue?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: what is the issue?
[12:12] <iceroot> tensorpudding: then normally everything should fit
[12:12] <raahede> iceroot, yes a autologin, its on my parents computer and they dosent need a logon screen when they turn on ubuntu
[12:12] <magentium__> Halexander9000 whats up? whats the issue ?
[12:12] <tensorpudding> yes, and the fact that it doesn't means someone screwed up
[12:13] <Muelli> ah yeah azbarcea_. We still haven't configured initramfs-tools *thinking*. Well. Can you get rid of your binary driver anyway?
[12:13] <azbarcea_> Muelli: u're refering to errors from dmesg at line 1299?
[12:13] <raahede> iceroot, iam supporting them via SSH, so if there is a file I just can edit, it would be perfect
[12:13] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: magentium__: Same as always I'm afraid. Clicking too fast and the mouse cursor pops out of the window and pauses my game. Can't use swords because of it.
[12:13] <Muelli> azbarcea_: probably. there's an oops caused by your nvidia driver and then it remounts two partitions read only. Both events are not good.
[12:14] <magentium__> Ahh i see. I never had that issue on mine. What version of JAVA are you using? The OpenJDK or the SunJava version?
[12:14] <magentium__> i found OpenJDK my mouse would not stay in the window.
[12:14] <Halexander9000> magentium__: Hm. How do I check?
[12:14] <Halexander9000> magentium__: Is there a terminal command for that?
[12:15] <krissed> Hmm what happens if i attempt in using sed to delete lines in a file which doesnt exist ?
[12:16] <magentium__> Halexander9000 just type in a terminal : java -version
[12:16] <magentium__> And let me know what it says
[12:16] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ sudo apt-get -y purge nvidia* | wgetpaste : "No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" ... more http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551376/
[12:17] <Halexander9000> magentium_: OpenJDK as suspected.
[12:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: reboot?
[12:18] <Muelli> azbarcea_: mom
[12:18] <Muelli> I'll check the output
[12:18] <meet> hi
[12:18] <meet> how do i turn on the touchpad after turning it off from the the terminal
[12:19] <magentium__> Halexander9000 give me two minutes i will get you a link to install SunJava. Its much faster and more stable
[12:19] <Halexander9000> Thanks magentium__.
[12:19] <Muelli> azbarcea_: could you do smth like dpkg-reconfigure -p low initramfs-tools ?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> meet: could unload then reload the psmouse module
[12:19] <meet> i used sudo modprobe -r psmouse to turn off the touchpad
[12:19] <Calinou> to use sun's java, you will have to use update-alternatives
[12:20] <Calinou> download sun's java, unzip, put in /opt folder, use update-alternatives correctly
[12:20] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: initramfs-tools is broken or not fully installed
[12:20] <meet> whats the opposite of sudo modprobe -r psmouse then?
[12:20] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Full output?
[12:20] <ann> interesting i need java for some browsing
[12:21] <azbarcea_> Muelli: that's it!
[12:21] <azbarcea_> Muelli: that's the full output :)
[12:21] <Muelli> O_o
[12:21] <meet> ok got it. used sudo modprobe psmouse
[12:21] <azbarcea_> Muelli: we have the backup ... right?
[12:21] <chilli0> Hey, I have an ubuntu headless server, and after like 1day it always dissconnects from the network, how can i figure out why this is happening?!
[12:22] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, so no problem :)
[12:22] <Muelli> azbarcea_: alright. Well. reboot first. Then we'll take care of initramfs-tools
[12:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: brb ... rebooting
[12:23] <Muelli> chilli0: Check /var/log/{syslog,daemon,debug, ...}
[12:24] <chilli0> Muelli: Can you be any more specific. i found something in syslog a few days ago, but didn't know what to think of it, i'll pb if you could have a look.
[12:24] <Muelli> well chilli0. How do you know, that is disconnects in first place? I.e. what are the symptoms?
[12:25] <raahede> iceroot, I can see in some guides, there is an easy way to do it in the GUI. In User accounts, but does it remove the SSH password aswell? because it shouldnt. Thanks in advance.
[12:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i'm back
[12:25] <chilli0> Muelli: i can't ping it..
[12:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: another dmesg: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551381/
[12:26] <Muelli> chilli0: hm. How do you get access to the machine then? I.e. do you have to reboot?
[12:27] <azbarcea_> chilli0: do you have VPNs?
[12:27] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Again: EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0 :-(
[12:27] <chilli0> yeah reboot every time, and no not that i remember. i may have tried a while ago to set one up.
[12:27] <ray1claw> I need to host a VNC server so another guy can access my PC remotely. We are not on a local network. Can anyone please explain or give me a ref link to help get around to this?
[12:27] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what are these for partitions? sda2 and sdb4?
[12:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sda2 is /
[12:28] <Muelli> ray1claw: maybe: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11075/how-can-i-enable-the-share-desktop-feature-in-empathy
[12:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sdb4 - i don't know of it: /dev/sdb1            2046   976771071   488384513    5  Extended
[12:29] <azbarcea_> /dev/sdb5            2048   976771071   488384512   83  Linux
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | ray1claw
[12:29] <ray1claw> Muelli, share desktop only shows the other guy ur desktop in realtime, and does not allow them to control it.
[12:30] <Muelli> azbarcea_: arr :-\ hm. I don't get it. It should be read only, but we wrote to /etc/ and /tmp all the time *thinking*. That's a weird message. But let's assume that it doesn't matter... Can you show us apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools again?
[12:31] <ray1claw> ubottu, i need to know how to set up a VNC server using vino or something... the GUI app sets up a local server, but when some guy puts in my global ip ‌into vinagre, it says the server is closed
[12:31] <Muelli> ray1claw: hm. should be possible to set remote control up. Maybe with vino-preferences
[12:31] <ray1claw> Muelli, , i need to know how to set up a VNC server using vino or something... the GUI app sets up a local server, but when some guy puts in my global ip ‌into vinagre, it says the server is closed
[12:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: df - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551385/
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: have you port forwarded through the router?
[12:31] <Muelli> ray1claw: well. empathy is supposed to help you with that.
[12:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: fstab - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551386/
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: why does the guy need remote desktop access? Maybe there is a sleeker solution..
[12:32] <chilli0> Muelli: yeah reboot every time, and no not that i remember. i may have tried a while ago to set one up.
[12:33] <magentium__> Currently Running Ubuntu 11.10 with the ICS Theme, looks realllllll nice. But was wondering if there were any programs that work well with Gnome3 that anyone can recommend?
[12:33] <kriestof> Hi I want to install intel G530(socket 1155) in my PC do I need thermal paste?
[12:33] <kriestof> between radiator and CPU
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> magentium__: gedit works well...
[12:34] <llutz> kriestof: yes
[12:34] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, whats the sleeker solution
[12:34] <krissed> I got a little script issue: What would the expected outcome of this do: if [-f /etc/skel/.profile.old]
[12:34] <ray1claw> Muelli, tried vino-prefs, it only sets up for the local network
[12:34] <Muelli> ray1claw: set vino up and then use emphaty
[12:35] <damo22> krissed: you need a space like so:  [ -f ..... .old  ]
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: well, what will the guy do once connected to your system?
[12:35] <azbarcea_> Muelli: you seem to be God here, everyone wants you :)
[12:35] <monohedron> !vino
[12:35] <llutz> [ -f /etc/skel/.profile.old ] krissed
[12:35] <monohedron> |vino
[12:35] <krissed> ahh thanks
[12:36] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, i need to show the guy a site ive been designing in wordpress.. since dynamic dns doesnt work, vnc is my alternate solution
[12:36] <Muelli> azbarcea_: Can you show us apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools again?
[12:36] <ray1claw> Muelli, hmm, okay, i'm looking through it now
[12:37] <krissed> damo22 and 1lutz THANKS.. I made a script which lets me pick a location of our schools and based on userinput from 1-9 it creates your bookmarks to accomodate the windows common shares
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: are you running a web server on the system?
[12:37] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, so all he'll do is access my desktop, open up the browser, and open up localhost/wordpress and localhost/wordpress/wp-admin
[12:37] <ray1claw> yep
[12:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i think it worked: http://pastebin.com/7xZiQxBu (besides the error)
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: why not port forward port 80 on the router to port 80 on the server and he can browse it
[12:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: or not
[12:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: missing /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: you just need to give him your WAN IP and he can web browse as normal.
[12:38] <Muelli> azbarcea_: no. Yeah, that's the point. Let's mkdir /etc/initramfs-tools
[12:38] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and then "sudo touch /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf". Weird though. I would have expected it to set that up for us. Something's weird anyway.
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: you don't need the full desktop for that. VNC is really OTT for that purpose.
[12:39] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i do have the directory initramfs-tools, no need to recreate it: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551387/
[12:39] <Muelli> oh, that's interesting indeed azbarcea_. So just do the touch then
[12:40] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, can you elucidate on that please? I have a modem connected in series with a router/repeater.. my modem is a beetle 220bx and i dont see any port forwarding or NAT options in there, but there are plenty of options within my router..
[12:40] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ok ... at least something new: http://pastebin.com/exTwyXgu
[12:41] <azbarcea_> Muelli: when we last did this we were in kernel -15 ... now we are in -12 (if it matters)
[12:42] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, i'd appreciate if you could help me step by step on this, 'cause I'm still a newb to all this
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: you will need to access the config of your router using your web browser, you will then go to the port forwarding (sometimes called virtual server) and tell the router to forward al requests on port 80 to the IP address of your web server
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: I can't do it step by step as routers vary massively, there is no single answer
[12:43] <Muelli> azbarcea_: WTF? /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 360: cannot create : Directory nonexistent. Arr. I have way too many of your pastebins open -.- Trying to find the script...
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: once you access your routers config page, start hunting through the options, you'll find it
[12:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: at least ": mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 2" we have gzip 2 instead of 1 :D
[12:44] <Muelli> azbarcea_: your /bin/sh is dash again, right?
[12:44] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, I realize that, the problem is, that my modem (beetle 220bx) (accessed by putting in 192.168.1.1 into the browser) is a very old model and has no port-forwarding/NAT/virtual server options.. I can pastebin a screenie if you'd like
[12:45] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yep
[12:45] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2012-02-15 13:40 /bin/sh -> dash*
[12:45] <krissed> God damn!. Its like the perfect day here.. I now can have schools install my costumized distro of ubuntu - join it to the domain - have users log on. Have each school pick their own common shares plus their own private ones.. awsome!
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: i'd check your manual, if there is no port forwarding then you are pretty stuck
[12:47] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do you remember the last bash -x you executed? I can't find it right now, but we want to do that again (but slightly different)
[12:47] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, but the wifi router (which is a different device altogether - accessed by putting in 192.168.2.1 into the browser) is fairly and has post forwarding in there. My question is, will it work if I forward it from there.. the heirarchy is phone cable->modem->wifi router->desktop
[12:47] <ray1claw> *fairly new
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: the modom is a transparent device so don't sweat the modem too much
[12:48] <yakc> i installed gnome 3 and some how i can't get all the shortcuts working. for example ctrl + alt + d or ctrl + alt + t is not working even they seem to be mapped in keyboard settings
[12:48] <damo22> if you have a cable modem plugged into the wan port of a router, the router sees all the ports at the wan side afaik
[12:48] <yakc> what should i do
[12:48] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this one:  sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic 2>&1 | wgetpaste
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> yakc: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[12:49] <azbarcea_> Muelli: we don't have -16 installed to do this, I should make an apt-get isntall -16 first, right?
[12:49] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, hm. do that again but with -12 and "/bin/sh" instead of "bash".
[12:49] <gulzar> lxde volume icon slider is not working and its settings are not accessible. and icon appears with dark background then others. How to do it?
[12:49] <plm> people, for start a application I'm putting the start in /etc/rc.local. for stop this app when I do a reboot/halt, where I put this command to stop app bofore machine stop?
[12:49] <yakc> ActionParsnip, it simply says oneiric
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> yakc: ok then Gnome3 is default installed. You don't have to install it manually
[12:50] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i did a sudo bash ... http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551390/
[12:50] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do it w/o bash but /bin/sh
[12:50] <azbarcea_> Muelli: but the previous one was with bash and 16
[12:50] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, hm. do that again but with -12 and "/bin/sh" instead of "bash".
[12:51] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, okay, so I found virtual servers in the router settings, can you tell me what all goes in the text boxes here? The fields are labelled: Inbound port, Type(TCP/UDP), Private Address Port (192.168.2.___), Private port
[12:51] <Metaphysicist>  So I have a question for you gurus. I'm running a linux-based drive-wiping software on multiple machines with RAID controllers. I was wondering if there was a way to always correlate a number from the controller to a mount point, and make it that way every time (regardless of UUID). So Port 2 on the SAS/SATA/Whatever controller always points to /dev/sd*
[12:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: all the output :D /bin/sh: Can't open mkinitramfs
[12:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I think I'll go nuts :D
[12:51] <Muelli> ah...
[12:51] <yourfrinedisaac> Hi I took 12.04 for a test drive and I get an error message that says my cpu doesn't have pae. What is pae. My cpu isnt that old.
[12:51] <Muelli> azbarcea_: make it sudo /bin/sh /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs ...
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: on your system, run:  iconfig   you will see your IP address
[12:52] <damo22> Metaphysicist, doesnt the raid controller automatically number the drives according to their slot in the bays?
[12:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: however: "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic.new 3.0.0-12-generic 2>&1 | wgetpaste" outputs  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551393/
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: do you have it? It will be something like 192.168.2.2  or similar
[12:53] <ray1claw> acmeinc1, iconfig or ifconfig or iwconfig?
[12:53] <Metaphysicist> damo22, that would've been my assumption also, but since the drives themselves are not running in RAID, and we pull certain ones out (as in not in sequence all the time), the controller is just a pointer for us, and sometimes it doesn't stick.
[12:53] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ sudo /bin/sh -x /usr/bin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic.new 3.0.0-12-generic 2>&1
[12:53] <azbarcea_> /bin/sh: Can't open /usr/bin/mkinitramfs
[12:53] <Muelli> azbarcea_: /usr/sbin/
[12:54] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, my local ip is 192.168.2.3 btw
[12:54] <meet> do i need to install the recommended updates?
[12:54] <damo22> Metaphysicist, it might be worth pulling out all the drives, (labelling them of course beforehand) then put a random one into slot 0 and see if it changes when you put the same drive into slot 1
[12:54] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, iconfig or ifconfig or iwconfig?
[12:55] <azbarcea_> Muelli: no shit ... the same thing, but differs gzip 1 (bash) to gzip 2 (dash) http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551394/
[12:55] <damo22> Metaphysicist, of course dont start the raid or you'll clobber data
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: it's the inet addr:   adress
[12:55] <Metaphysicist> damo22, right, thank you, I'll give it a try
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: try both, why not :)
[12:55] <Muelli> well azbarcea_. It also says "/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 1: cannot create : Directory nonexistent" now, doesn't it?
[12:55] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, its 192.168.2.3
[12:56] <Redrover> Local.
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: ok then use port 80 and forward it to that IP using the web interface
[12:56] <yourfrinedisaac> Hi I took 12.04 for a test drive and I get an error message that says my cpu doesn't have pae. What is pae?. My cpu isnt that old.
[12:56] <Redrover> Not inet.
[12:56] <meet> i am unable to install the gnome pack in unity
[12:56] <damo22> Metaphysicist, my guess is that slot0 maps to /dev/sdb and slot1 maps to /dev/sdc etc
[12:56] <meet> i tried for the 3rd  time
[12:57] <meet> it downloads 8.5 mb of something and aborts the installation
[12:57] <meet> what should i do?
[12:58] <k-rAd-> is there a solution for usb 3.0 failing part time then being restored on rsync cronjob backup  xhci_hcd ?
[12:58] <damo22> k-rAd-, what do you mean?
[12:58] <freddy__> exit
[12:58] <freddy__> exit
[12:59] <k-rAd-> i halts for a time then resumes
[12:59] <damo22> k-rAd-, i have seen usb3 issues that have not been resolved before
[12:59] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yes, you're right ...
[12:59] <Muelli> azbarcea_: no idea why that is though :-\
[12:59] <k-rAd-> i could switch to my other controller
[13:00] <damo22> k-rAd-, i suggest try usb2
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> yourfrinedisaac: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise issues please
[13:00] <meet> how to remove half installed packages
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> !pae | yourfrinedisaac
[13:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I appreciate your help very very much
[13:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: thank you!
[13:01] <azbarcea_> Muelli: another backup and a plan to reinstall ...
[13:01] <yourfrinedisaac> Actionparsnip, okay thanks
[13:01] <Muelli> nah azbarcea_. Should be fixable. What did you do in first place? You mentioned that you tried to install your own kernel...
[13:03] <azbarcea_> Muelli: muon started by itself and freezed up at 97%
[13:03] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what's moun/
[13:03] <azbarcea_> Muelli: after that I did a apt-get update, upgrade witch failed with the same errors
[13:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Muon - Package Manager for KDE - Kubuntu
[13:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: by default with kubuntu 11.10 ...
[13:05] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_.
[13:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: after I saw I'm not able to reinstall kernel (dist-upgrade, witch freeze there ... I presume)
[13:06] <Muelli> azbarcea_: can you do a dpkg-reconfigure -p low initramfs-tools ? (and give us the output..)
[13:06] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i manually deleted /boot/*3.0.0.0-16*
[13:06] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: initramfs-tools is broken or not fully installed
[13:06] <Muelli> hmpf
[13:07] <azbarcea_> Muelli: should I put the old initramfs-tools?
[13:07] <Muelli> nah
[13:07] <mynotes1> !bin
[13:08] <Muelli> alright azbarcea_. that's weird. It should at least install that properly. Let's get rid of the other error producing package: jadetex (?) can you apt-get remove that?
[13:09] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sure
[13:10] <mynotes1> hello. itrying to install citrix but I always got this error.SSL error

[13:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: but i think it was removed though
[13:12] <le_radis_masque> Hello !
[13:12] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Not too sure about that. dpkg -l | grep jadetex

[13:13] <heizmann> Hi, all... well, Unable to sync sources of ubuntu-tweak software. (I'm under lucid lynx, and the package "ubuntu-tweak" comes from the launchpad: ppa:tualatrix/ppa)... Is the server down?
[13:13] <azbarcea_> Muelli: you were right
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/    looks up to me
[13:16] <tualatrix> heizmann, ActionParsnip oh, you mean the "Source Center"?
[13:16] <le_radis_masque>  Could you help me with a bash script please ? I'm looking for a command which will clean the keyboard entry (I'm sorry if I don't speak correctly, I'm French, don't hesitate to correct me :) )
[13:17] <Muelli> so why is that failing, azbarcea_? Let's find out. Can you cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.posting | wgetpaste?
[13:17] <Muelli> no. wait
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> tualatrix: no, the ppa is up as the link I posted is browsable
[13:17] <Muelli> so why is that failing, azbarcea_? Let's find out. Can you cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.postrm | wgetpaste?
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer
[13:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: cat: /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.posting: No such file or directory
[13:18] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah. sorry. the second one
[13:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551403/
[13:18] <heizmann> tualatrix: yes, the "source center" is "down" (sorry, I'm French, bad English)

[13:19] <chilli0> Hey, i want to get my VPN working correctly, this is my error. http://pastebin.com/mfw4zZE7
[13:19] <theadmin> chilli0: pptp?
[13:20] <chilli0> theadmin: yeah
[13:20] <Muelli> azbarcea_: What does: sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.postrm purge    say?
[13:20] <theadmin> chilli0: If so, just use the "pptpsetup" binary found in "pptp-linux", it does all of the messy configuration for you, and you just have to "pon whatever"
[13:20] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/yJ78Z6P7
[13:21] <Muelli> hm.
[13:21] <chilli0> theadmin: ah okay, thanks.
[13:22] <heizmann> tualatrix: well, in the ubuntu-tweak graphical interface: when I try to synchronize in "Programs: software sources": a window appears and the message is: "An error occured while downloading the file."
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: its not supported here
[13:23] <tualatrix> heizmann, yes, I can confirm the download server is error, please wait the fix.
[13:24] <Muelli> azbarcea_: so can you do a sudo /bin/sh -x /usr/sbin/update-texmf
[13:25] <heizmann> tualatrix: Ok, the problem comes not from in my configuration.
[13:25] <heizmann> ^^
[13:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/RZzJwQRj
 heizmann: its not supported here ← what do you mean, pleas?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: ubuntu-tweak is not in the official ubuntu repos, so is not supported here
[13:26] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Do you have a /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf ?
[13:26] <qmr1> What is the proper way to remove a PPA from the command line?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: sudo ppa-purge address
[13:27] <heizmann> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[13:27] <mun_> hi
[13:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yep ... i have both files
[13:27] <mun> does anyone know how to convert a disk from gpt to mbr without losing data?
[13:27] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: that's what I found on google bu tI don't have that command installed
[13:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty and /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: not thought to install it then...?
[13:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: and my limit for pastebin for today is over ... :)
[13:28] <Muelli> :D
[13:28] <Muelli> sorry about that
[13:28] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: what is the package name?
[13:28] <raahede> Anybody who also have problems with logitech bluetooth combo keyboard and mouse, on ubuntu desktop?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: guess.. it's pretty obvious in this case
[13:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I'll use https://gist.github.com/
[13:28] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: ... it's not in the standard repos?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> !info ppa-purge | qmr1
[13:29] <Muelli> azbarcea_: I have no idea what's wrong with your machine. I'm inclined to believe it's the drive but it doesn't seem to be an obvious issue.
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: wanna bet
[13:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Thank you a lot!
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: its in the universe repo
[13:29] <Muelli> so azbarcea_, let's follow it down the road. Can you do sudo /bin/sh -x /usr/bin/ucf --debconf-ok --three-way /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: if you run a command and its not installed, the OS will suggest the packagename to install
[13:29] <branant> what commands do you usually run after upgrading packages? updated, ldconfig?
[13:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the same ucf: Unable to determine The new file
[13:30] <Muelli> azbarcea_: but with a lot of output, no?
[13:30] <tbic> I'm having an issue where after my monitors come back after screen blanking I can not click on anything. can someone point me in some direction to try and fix this?
[13:30] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: I have universe enabled, still not showing up ..
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> branant: upgrade definately, then install my usual apps and uninstall all the guff I don't use or don't like
[13:30] <heizmann> tualatrix: Can I ask you a question concerning the server, please? :)
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[13:31] <tualatrix> heizmann, yes, of course
[13:31] <qmr1> E: Couldn't find package ppa-purge
[13:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yes with a lot of output, the same I pasted you some lines ago
[13:31] <qmr1> like I already said
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:31] <Muelli> azbarcea_: can you paste the whole thing again?
[13:32] <qmr1> ... I can pastebin that file.  I don't have gedit, this is a server
[13:32] <karthick87> How to poweroff all live  machines remotely?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: ok, then run:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:32] <heizmann> tualatrix: what is the ip of the server? :) well, that way I could ping myself to see if it is up or down (during the day ^^)
[13:32] <raahede> tbic, I have the same issue, so if you find a solution please pm me.
[13:32] <qmr1> I'll just copy and paste.
[13:32] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551408/
[13:33] <tualatrix> heizmann, http://ubuntu-tweak.com it is not down, just the download file is error
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: pastebinit is a cli pastebin command, dead handy
[13:33] <qmr1> except it only supports bad pastebins
[13:33] <tbic> raahede, do you have an ati graphics card?
[13:33] <qmr1> anyhoo, here is sources file http://pastebin.com/t2cHduT3
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: you can give an option to use a different bin, not sure what a bad pastebni is tbh
[13:34] <beike_t> could I open a .rp file(Axure Pro) directly on ubuntu? just read is ok.
[13:34] <heizmann> tualatrix: oh, ok, I understand :) !!!... thanks, by the way, ubuntu-tweak is good software. ;)
[13:34] <heizmann> I love it.
[13:34] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: copying line numbers w source code, font that makes it hard to distinguish between 1 and l, O and 0, tiny font, among other things
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> !info ppa-purge lucid
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: ok, basically the PPAs make files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d    if you delete the files in that folder relating to the PPA, it will do the same thing
[13:36] <qmr1> thanks.  just read to do that on a page
[13:36] <tualatrix> heizmann, I'm glad that you like it :) Enjoy
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: strange it's not in there
[13:36] <raahede> tbic, no I have a intel GMA 4500MHD. Its only in one of my laptops (thinkpad 0196-2EG). which is a partition install aside windows 7. But in my other laptop there is no problems at all (thikpad T41), the difference is that the T41 has a full ubuntu desktop install..
[13:37] <heizmann> tualatrix: work again? ^^'
[13:37] <raahede> tbic, so I dont know if it is the partition install that fails?
[13:38] <heizmann> ...mmhhh, not for yet... not enough fixing ^^... well, I try this later tualatrix :)
[13:38] <Lunex> hi all! i want to send my pc to standby instantly when pressing the power button - but i cant get rid of the shutdown dialogue which asks me what to do (shown,reboot etc.) is there any way to override windomanagers und directly react on the power button?
[13:38] <heizmann> not yet*
[13:39] <tbic> raahede, I only started noticing the issues when I installed a new graphics card.
[13:39] <delinquentme> hey all could you guys explain the concept of a "mount point" when running the ubuntu installer to prepare partitions?
[13:39] <Yabden> mount points are different directories
[13:40] <Yabden> if you want a different partition for the /boot/ directory, for example, you could make one
[13:40] <Yabden> all you really need though is a swap partition and another partition mounted as /
[13:40] <delinquentme> Yabden, so how will this influence my bootup .. I'd like GRUB to handle the boot
[13:41] <Yabden> it won't influence it, it's a bit advanced and mostly used for specific things
[13:41] <delinquentme> if i were installing it over a existing windows install
[13:41] <delinquentme> ohh ok
[13:41] <delinquentme> but most of the time i'd want just good old /
[13:41] <Yabden> yeah, / and swap is all you need
[13:41] <delinquentme> ok cool got both of those! thansk!
[13:42] <theadmin> I suggest separate /home too
[13:42] <theadmin> Makes reinstalls so much easier
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> +1
[13:42] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does readlink -q -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty  give yuo?
[13:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ... do you have any other tricks?
[13:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli: nothing
[13:42] <raahede> tbic, okay weird, my T41 has a ATI graffic card and there is no problems. Maybe it could be some graffic cards models? :( Hope there is an answer for this, its really annoying
[13:43] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ readlink -q -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty
[13:43] <azbarcea_> $
[13:43] <Muelli> so nothing that is, azbarcea_..? Which exit code?
[13:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: no output what so ever!
[13:44] <Muelli> ah azbarcea_. remove the -q.
[13:44] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does readlink -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty  give you?
[13:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: same - no output what so ever!
[13:44] <Muelli> and immediately echo $? afterwards?
[13:45] <azbarcea_> Muelli: 1
[13:45] <raahede> tbic,  I have read something on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze
[13:45] <raahede> tbic, maybe you should have a look at that.
[13:45] <heizmann> ...mmhhh, is there a solution to create a live iso, like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but with the possibility to implement a luks container (cryptsetup), with some logical volumes like /, /home, /usr... inside the crypt luks container? (with an automatic mount) ?
[13:45] <phix> hi gang
[13:45] <c31r2g> hello phix
[13:46] <heizmann> logical volumes == with lvm2... :)
[13:46] <c31r2g> phix:remember me,thanks for the help yesterday!
[13:46] <tbic> raahede, Thanks I will look into it, I think I have already and my logs do not show anything unsual.
[13:46] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does readlink -v -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty  give you?
[13:47] <phix> c31r2g: yay
[13:48] <phix> c31r2g: any time
[13:48] <azbarcea_> Muelli: readlink doesn't return anything, but if i give it with /bin/readlink ... than we have something
[13:48] <phix> you have more questiona?
[13:48] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty
[13:49] <c31r2g> thanks phix :)
[13:49] <c31r2g> not atm phix.:)
[13:49] <Muelli> oh, wait a second

[13:49] <Spartacus112358> Hi guys, I have a NVIDIA quadro nvs 120M and I'm running ubuntu, my problem is that I can't enable unity 3d even with proprietary drivers....any suggestion?
[13:49] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what's type -a readlink ?
[13:49] <phix> Muelli: You require assistance now?
[13:50] <azbarcea_> Muelli: readlink is /usr/bin/readlink
[13:50] <azbarcea_> readlink is /bin/readlink
[13:50] <Muelli> hm. funny.
[13:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: so /usr/bin/readlink is the one that does not outputs anything
[13:51] <geirha> azbarcea_: What does   file /usr/bin/readlink   say?
[13:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     27 2012-02-13 11:04 /usr/bin/readlink -> /usr/lib/klibc/bin/readlink*
[13:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I'll just erase that symlink and point recrete it to /bin/readlink
[13:52] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. dunno yet.
[13:52] <Muelli> azbarcea_: Maybe do a dpkg -S /usr/bin/readlink  first
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> wow Spartacus112358 hung around long.. haha
[13:53] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ sudo dpkg -S /usr/bin/readlink
[13:53] <azbarcea_> dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/readlink.
[13:54] <Muelli> azbarcea_: ? So who put that symlink there? what does dpkg -S /usr/lib/klibc/bin/readlink  say?
[13:54] <heizmann> Please :) is there a good, nice tutorial to learn how to create live systems? (basing on ubuntu)? With debootstrap, chroot techniques etc. (like this tuto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) which use only the terminal? I wish I could create a live system like this, but using cryptsetup (luks) and logical volume management (with lvm2). It is certainly possible, but how?
[13:54] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I think I did it 2012-02-13 ... but I can't recall why
[13:55] <geirha> Apparently part of klibc-utils package
[13:55] <azbarcea_> Muelli: it had to do somthing with the fact that readlink was missing ... and I found a version of readlink in klibc ...
[13:55] <Muelli> yes azbarcea_. Remove the symlink. That's crap. Never do such a thing >.<
[13:56] <anli__> When I try to start libre office calc, I only get a splash screen
[13:56] <anli__> Started today
[13:56] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what else have you modified? maybe a find with the appropriate parameters will help *digging the man page*
[13:56] <anli__> The same with the other libre office products
[13:56] <anli__> What can I do?
[13:56] <kroonrs> Hi.  My evince print dialog keeps only giving my home printer, although I am now at work and a work printer is set up as the default using a remote cups server.  How do I get evince to refresh it's printer list?
[13:57] <prashant_123456> why i cannot login using ctrl+alt+f1 while i am using correct password it says incorrect login????
[13:57] <Yabden> try opening libre office calc using a terminal
[13:57] <Yabden> it will tell you the error it is experiencing loading
[13:57] <chilli0> Hello, I've setup a vpn server and I can connect and also go to the internet but for some reason you don't need a password or anything to log on, could anyone help me set this up?
[13:57] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does "find /usr/bin/ -ctime +1" say? Hopefully not too much -.-
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> Yabden: what if you rename ~/.libreoffice   ?
[13:58] <anli__> Yabden: Good idea, [Java framework] Error in function createSettinsgDocument (elements.cxx).
[13:58] <anli__> ActionParsnip: I removed it
[13:58] <anli__> Ah, wait, maybe I have a full hd
[13:58] <azbarcea_> Muelli: blody hell: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551426/
[13:58] <anli__> ah, thats it
[13:58] <anli__> Must remove some files and try again :)
[13:58] <Muelli> ah, no worries azbarcea_. Maybe wrong find arguments -.-
[13:59] <chilli0> Hello, I've setup a vpn server and I can connect and also go to the internet but for some reason you don't need a password or anything to log on, could anyone help me set this up?
[14:00] <Muelli> azbarcea_: try with mtime instead of ctime. ctime is bad. it updates as soon as you access a file...
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> anli__: clean out old kernels. May also want to run:  sudo apt-get clean
[14:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: same http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551427/
[14:01] <anli__> yeah
[14:01] <anli__> Wonder why I cant get an error dialog
[14:01] <anli__> Thats what I expect on this kind of errors
[14:01] <anli__> Whats so hard with writing "there is no disk space left so libre office could not run" :)
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> anli__: that'll do it
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> anli__: could report a bug
[14:02] <zikos> hi...after I installed laptop mode tools my ubuntu freezes totally about every 45mins...does anyone know why this happens??
[14:02] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lets see if that readlink solved the problem ... I do not recall other symlinks to be made in /usr/bin
[14:02] <anli__> hm, cant even empty trash can
[14:02] <Muelli> ok azbarcea_. leave it then. Let's hope there is no more stuff. Do the update-texmf again
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> anli__: also if you install and run bleachbit, you can free lots of space. have as amany apps closed as possible, avoid settings which say they will take a long time and watch settings or it will remove stuff you want. You will get a lot of space back
[14:03] <azbarcea_> history | grep texmf
[14:03] <Yabden> zikos you could try checking /var/log/messages
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> anli__: also uninstalling old kernels frees up LOADS of space (120Mb per kernel)
[14:03] <anli__> apt-get clean was nice howerver
[14:03] <anli__> Oh, I never download those
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> anli__: what, new kernels?
[14:04] <anli__> yeah, new kernels
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> anli__: ok thats one thing to not worry about then
[14:04] <anli__> I am so happy with the already running one :)
[14:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551431/
[14:05] <Muelli> azbarcea_: so it seems to work \o/
[14:05] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do aptitude purge jadetex then
[14:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: not quite ... that is not the regular output
[14:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: that is the error output
[14:05] <kroonrs> Hi.  My evince print dialog keeps only giving my home printer, although I am now at work and a work printer is set up as the default using a remote cups server.  How do I get evince to refresh it's printer list? (what's protocol on re-asking?)
[14:05] <Muelli> azbarcea_: why not? Try purging
[14:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: alex@horus:~$ sudo bash -x /usr/sbin/update-texmf 2>&1 | wgetpaste
[14:06] <azbarcea_> Muelli: if I don't redirect 2 to 1 ... I don't get any output
[14:06] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lets try purging ...
[14:06] <Muelli> thats good azbarcea_. try purging now
[14:08] <azbarcea_> Muelli: https://gist.github.com/2ef9384cfd606040bdba - can u see it?
[14:08] <azbarcea_> Muelli: no errors :)
[14:08] <azbarcea_> Muelli: you rule! :)
[14:08] <Muelli> azbarcea_: so that was indeed a problem. Hope you learned to not burn your, and more importantly: my time by symlinking wildly in your $PATH ;-)
[14:09] <Muelli> but azbarcea_. That doesn't necessarily bring you your kernel and initramfs back. So aptitude install linux-image
[14:09] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I simply forgot about that! You're right!
[14:10] <Muelli> jesus christ. That was a long hunt for an incompatible readlink implementation.
[14:10] <zikos> Yabden, how do I do that
[14:10] <Muelli> azbarcea_: you might as well file a bug against that implementation. I.e. ubuntu-bug klibc-utils
[14:10] <Yabden> open a terminal and do: sudo cat /var/log/messages | more
[14:10] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and include your test vector in the bugreport.
[14:11] <Yabden> there will likely be something in that file saying why your OS froze
[14:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: test vector?
[14:11] <Muelli> azbarcea_: don't forget to aptitude install kubuntu-desktop jadetex again.
[14:11] <prashant_123456> why i cannot login in console using ubuntu 11.10
[14:11] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, the readlink calls that produce a different result.
[14:12] <azbarcea_> Muelli: https://gist.github.com/6146446360ef3237d460
[14:12] <Muelli> azbarcea_: :) nice
[14:13] <azbarcea_> Muelli: how to I reinstall kernel -16 and all stuff and to be sure I'm ... with the daily stuff
[14:13] <Chipzzz> prashant_123456: do you get a login prompt?
[14:13] <Muelli> azbarcea_: aptitude install kubuntu-desktop jadetex linux-image
[14:13] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: can you login with the details on the desktop?
[14:13] <zikos> Yabden, no such file or directory :/
[14:14] <Bobby> Hi
[14:14] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, yep i can login using gnome but when i try to login using ctrl+alt+f1 it says incorrect login kroonrs
[14:14] <Yabden> ahh, maybe it's in a different place in ubuntu then
[14:15] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, kroonrs any suggestions
[14:15] <azbarcea_> Muelli: thank you very much - https://gist.github.com/7acc267db8e20bde9e00
[14:15] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: try running "grep <username> /etc/passwd" on the terminal, with the username you are trying to log in with
[14:16] <zikos> Yabden, what do you use - Debian? :D
[14:16] <Yabden> yeah, debian
[14:17] <Muelli> azbarcea_: you're welcome. I'll tell you once I happen to be in Romania to grab a cold beer ;-)
[14:17] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, sorry i dont understand i can use terminal
[14:17] <azbarcea_> Muelli: it will be my pleasure!
[14:17] <Chipzzz> prashant_123456: i would try logging in with the recovery console and changing the password
[14:18] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, i have changed the password and can login using gnome and have access to everything
[14:19] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, but login incorrect at console while i use ctrl+alt+f1
[14:19] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: I think the problem is that your username on console login is _not_ the name displayed when you log in on gnome
[14:19] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: to find out the correct name, open the file explorer
[14:19] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, then
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: click on file system on the left
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: and then home
[14:20] <heizmann> Please :) is there a good, nice tutorial to learn how to create live systems? (basing on ubuntu)? With debootstrap, chroot techniques etc. (like this tuto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) which use only the terminal? I wish I could create a live system like this, but using cryptsetup (luks) and logical volume management (with lvm2). It is certainly possible, but how?
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: i.e. the filder on the right saying "home"
[14:20] <Chipzzz> prashant_123456: that's why i suggest logging in with the recovery console and changing the password... that will make your root password whatever you change it to
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: how many folders are inside that home folder?
[14:21] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, 10 folders
[14:21] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: do any look like they could be yours?
[14:21] <zallfaizall> hey guy
[14:22] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: you should perhaps only have access to one - the name of the folder _should_ be your username
[14:22] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, i let me try that
[14:23] <Guest11532> why are people volunteering here? what motivates you?
[14:23] <pros977> synergy -- check  vpn --check coffee --check
[14:23] <pros977> good morning ubuntu
[14:23] <ikonia> Guest11532: that doesn't really matter, people are here to help.
[14:23] <bazhang> Guest11532, disc uss in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[14:24] <Guest11532> ikonia, I am asking because It matters to me at least
[14:24] <Guest11532> bazhang, ok
[14:25] <Chipzzz> Guest11532: i'm intrigued by your response that it matters to you... are you researching something?
[14:25] <yashshah> I've the same problem as prashant_123456
[14:25] <Pici> Chipzzz: please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here.
[14:25] <Chipzzz> Pici: sorry, you're right
[14:27] <prashant_123456> yashshah, any solutions
[14:28] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: did it work for you?
[14:28] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, nope
[14:28] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, any other solutions
[14:29] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: go to the dash home and run "terminal"
[14:29] <TiG3r> Salve
[14:29] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, ok
[14:29] <bazhang> !it | TiG3r
[14:29] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, then
[14:30] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: on the terminal, try running "grep "User Name" /etc/passwd" on the terminal, with the username you are trying to log in with
[14:30] <danileigh79> Every time I reboot my computer, I have to use the fw cutter tools to re-enable my wifi, how can I change that?
[14:30] <orated> Hello! I'm finding delay in boot time and these are the bootcharts for last two booting - http://imagebin.org/199031 http://imagebin.org/199035 . I'm not too much concerned about boot time but can anyone explain me what exactly is consuming time and how can I fix it?
[14:31] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: you should get some colon-separated fields, with User Name in the fifth field
[14:32] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, there what should i find
[14:32] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: you should get some colon-separated fields, with User Name in the fifth field
[14:32] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: your login name for the console is in the first field
[14:33] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
[14:33] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, its the first line
[14:33] <DarkStar1> quick question, my vps only has 10.04 as the only ubuntu option to install but I need 11.10 (oneiric) in order to be able to install one of the openStack cloud tech. Can I install Lucid and do a dist-upgrade to oneiric?
[14:34] <slingshot> Hi, I would like to install lightdm on my natty is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric?
[14:34] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: ok, so then it's not the login name that's a problem.  Can you on the terminal run "su root"
[14:34] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, yep
[14:35] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: does it prompt you for a password?
[14:35] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, yep
[14:35] <danileigh79> Every time I reboot my laptop (11.10) the wifi is disabled. I have to use sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: wait until April and install Precise :)
[14:35] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: hold on a sec: are you actually logged in to your gui as root?
[14:35] <cristian_c> Hi
[14:35] <danileigh79> along with sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb & sudo modprobe b43 to reenble it, how do I make it enabled permanently
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: if you have lucid and want Oneiric you will need to upgrade to Maverick, then natty then oneiric
[14:36] <cristian_c> I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails
[14:36] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, it says auth failure while i put password in it
[14:36] <cristian_c> the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version 2.0.1.9 to 2.0.2.0, but unfortunately the problem persists
[14:36] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: are you actually logged in to your gui as root? if so, you would not be prompted for a password when you typed "su root", I think.
[14:36] <cristian_c> What can I do to solve the problem?
[14:37] <meskarune> daniLEIGH79: sounds like you have power saving on
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> kroonrs: that would be a bad idea too
[14:37] <slingshot> Hi, I would like to install lightdm on my natty is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric?
[14:37] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, but it requires password
[14:37] <meskarune> danileigh79: powersaving will turn off the wifi card to save battery life
[14:37] <yashshah> prashant_123456: I'am also looking for the solution
[14:37] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: a 3 step upgrade. No other way?
[14:37] <danileigh79> meskarune: No, I mean everytime I reboot, Ubuntu loads without wifi support and I have to reenable it with the fwcutter and modprobe tools
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: no, you have to stop at the next release, if you wait til April you can upgrade from LTS to LTS and get 12.04
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: there is no root password, and the account is disabled...
[14:38] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: Lucid is 10.04 right? and from 10.04-11.10 I have to do 10.10, then 11.04 then 11.10
[14:38] <kroonrs> prashant_123456, yashshah: I have to go now, unfortunately.  It seems you are not logged in as root, so root can't be the correct login credentials for you.
[14:38] <slingshot>  I would like to install lightdm on my natty ,is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric? Someone advice me !
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: yes lucid == 10.04
[14:39] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, thanks for the help
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: yes you need to upgrade through each release consquetively. Or just clean install Oneiric
[14:39] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, so what to do
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: log in as your user and use that, when you need admin (root) access, use sudo. Its how the OS is designed
[14:39] <yashshah> prashant_123456: It is solved
[14:40] <prashant_123456> yashshah,  tell me how
[14:40] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, i have root password
[14:40] <slingshot> can someone suggest whether should I install lightdm on natty? Is someone kind enough to answer?
[14:40] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ??
[14:40] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Your password contains any number?
[14:41] <prashant_123456> yashshah, yep
[14:41] <danileigh79> slingshot: try it, if it doesn't work then you can uninstall it
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: its not supported here, and its not advised, or needed
[14:41] <yashshah> prashant_123456:Dun type with numpad, type it with the no. above the alphabets
[14:41] <DarkStar1> I thought 11.04 was LTS
[14:41] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ok
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: 8.04, 10.04, 12.04   are LTS
[14:41] <prashant_123456> yashshah, let me try
[14:41] <danileigh79> DarkStar1: nope, 20.04
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: the intermediate releases are not
[14:41] <danileigh79> DarkStar1: nope, 10.04
[14:41] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Okay! Good luck!
[14:41] <slingshot> uhh, what if something goes wrong? how can I get back to gdm then danileigh79?
[14:41] <DarkStar1> Ok thanks
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: if you use the OS as it is intended, you will have fewer issues. Autologging in as root is REALLY dumb
[14:42] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, ok
[14:43] <prashant_123456> yashshah, it worked for me
[14:43] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ActionParsnip good job
[14:43] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Thank you!
[14:43] <aQute> how to install skype on 12.04 its not there in software center

[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo apt-get update
[14:46] <Lordveda> ok
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: but when you press the numpad, does it make events?
[14:46] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, yep
[14:46] <yashshah> ActionParsnip: Yeah it makes!
[14:46] <rojdy> allahu akbar

[14:48] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: cool, the hard bit is done, not sure how to map it and stuff. Does the keyboard have a make / model?

[14:50] <yashshah> prashant_123456: initially it will not work... then press num lock key and try pressing numbers from numpad.. repeat it for 2-3 times it will work!
[14:50] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ok
[14:50] <arnsa> !Windows
[14:50] <arnsa> !wine

[14:51] <prashant_123456> yashshah, yep
[14:51] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org arnsa
[14:51] <prashant_123456> yashshah, it worked
[14:51] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Cool! :)
[14:51] <bazhang> arnsa, /join #winehq
[14:52] <arnsa> bazhang, a lot of ppl have installed this program so it's rly compatible with wine and linux
[14:52] <arnsa> I just can't find the way how to solve this problem
[14:52] <bazhang> arnsa, great. then ask in #winehq
[14:52] <arnsa> bazhang, already did it, but no one answers
[14:54] <prashant_123456> yashshah, indian ?
[14:54] <theadmin> arnsa: Well this channel doesn't offer support for Windows application. People here can help you install wine on Ubuntu or get wine itself to work, but not wine/windows apps.
[14:55] <theadmin> s/application/\1s/gi
[14:56] <anli__> Is there an application I can run on the command line, piping in data that will as a result go into the clipboard?
[14:57] <theadmin> anli__: Well, the clipboard is an X thing
[14:57] <anli__> yes?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: reading
[14:57] <theadmin> anli__: But... there is xclip which does that.
[14:57] <llutz> !info  xclip   | anli__
[14:57] <theadmin> !info xclip | anli_
[14:57] <anli__> ah, must check
[14:57] <anli__> tried ls -l | xclip
[14:58] <theadmin> anli__: You need to install it first though
[14:58] <anli__> Its already installed
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: should add the keys
[14:59] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: Good points
[14:59] <Lordveda> :)
[14:59] <theadmin> anli__: I have to point out that it uses the global X keyboard, not your desktops. So, middle-click to paste what has been copied by xclip. You can also just select some text and middle-click to paste the selected text, works in any desktop
[14:59] <theadmin> err
[15:00] <theadmin> s/keyboard/clipboard/
[15:00] <theadmin> wtf brain
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: I have that in a script called getkey
[15:00] <anli__> theadmin: Seems that I cannot paste using programs menus, I have to use the middle mouse button
[15:00] <theadmin> anli__: Yesh, just explained why
[15:00] <anli__> In other words, ubuntu has its own clipboard that xclip does not interact with
[15:00] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: Good attitude as well
[15:00] <anli__> oh, sorry
[15:00] <Lordveda> :)
[15:00] <theadmin> anli__: Gnome has it's own clipboard, yeah
[15:00] <anli__> so there should be a gnome version of xclip for this to work then
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: hope it helps :)
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> anli__: does xclip not work?
[15:01] <anli__> I guess such an app would be named gclip
[15:01] <anli__> Well, actually I should maybe just accept to use mmb
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> anli__: parcellite may have a cli interface
[15:02] <david__> helo
[15:02] <david__> how are you
[15:03] <david__> hello anyone on
[15:03] <Guest66313> yes
[15:03] <bazhang> david__, ubuntu support issue?
[15:04] <david__> how do i solve this
[15:04] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: Same warning again despite the adding
[15:04] <ikonia> solve what ?
[15:05] <Aelingil> is there an easy way to change the order of OS's on the Grub boot menu? So i can get "previous versions" at the bottom, and "current" versions on the top?
[15:05] <david__> xhero35 hi
[15:05] <bazhang> david__, whats the issue, ask the channel
[15:05] <sanjeev90an>  how can i change the permissions of files on external hard disk/ usb storage?
[15:06] <Lordveda> The warning says there is an error during the signature verification. and the repository is not updated what possibly could be the origin of this problem?
[15:08] <Guest66313> anyone have problem?
[15:09] <bazhang> Guest66313, ask the channel
[15:09] <rabbi1> hi, I think my gnome in 10.04 is half dead. unable to see the screen (GUI) anyway i am in CTRL+ALT+F1. how can i reset gnome settings ?
[15:10] <UICTamale1> hey all, can I configure my laptop screen to actually turn off instead of just going black when it locks?
 can you open recovery mode
[15:11] <rabbi1> _zero0: tried that but no luck, now i did reset gnome, but i think i have a problem with Xorg,,, oops
[15:12] <rabbi1> help me out.... :(
[15:12] <rabbi1> I am on 10.04, on AMD Athlon 64 bit, with inbuilt nvidia ....
[15:13] <Sidewinder1> Aelingil, That is the way my Grub (Legacy), is by default; most recent versions at the top and previous below that.
[15:14] <rabbi1> _zero0: recovery mode, din't change anything ... :(
[15:15] <Aelingil> Sidewinder1, I have 11.10 and 11.04. However on grub it shows 11.10 then "Previous versions" then 11.04, then "previous versions".. i am trying to get 11.10 and 11.04 next to each other.
[15:16] <rabbi1> hi, my ubuntu is half dead ,,,, :(
[15:17] <rabbi1> can't load xorg .....
[15:19] <meskarune> rabbi1: did you isntall something that could have broken your xorg ?
[15:19] <h00k> !broken | rabbi1
[15:19] <jxi> Is it possible to run tomcat7 on Ubuntu oneiric with openjdk-7 instead of default-jdk (aka  openjdk-6)?
[15:20] <WarDekar> hey i'm trying to get a PPTP VPN working from the command line on 10.04 LTS and having issues... I think I can get it to connect to the VPN server, but I'm having trouble routing all traffic through the VPN from the CLI
[15:20] <theadmin> WarDekar: sudo route add default dev ppp0
[15:20] <theadmin> WarDekar: All done :P
[15:20] <rabbi1> meskarune: nothing at all :(
[15:20] <WarDekar> theadmin: thanks let me try that out
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: nice
[15:21] <Sidewinder1> Aelingil, I'm pretty sure that in Grub Legacy, one could simply edit (after making a back-up copy, of course) the menu.lst file to accomplish what you want. I'm not sure that would work with Grub 2. I'm on 10.04, and sorry I can't be more effective in my efforts to help you.
[15:22] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: What is, the route command? I got it off my ex-ISPs website, works for most PPTP providers just fine
[15:22] <fidel> question: where can i disable the automatic launch of f-spot after connecting a memory-card with images? f-spots prefs seem to not have that function - so i expect it somewhere outside f-spot
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: looks ok to me
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: might need gw option maybe
[15:23] <WarDekar> theadmin: when i do that i get booted from the server and have to reboot it, i'm assuming this means it's not connecting to the VPN?
[15:23] <theadmin> WarDekar: Hm, probably. Either way, to set up a PPTP vpn connection use the "pptpsetup" program, it does all the dirty work for you
[15:23] <yourfrinedisaac> can one upgrade safely from 32bit to 64bit ubuntu?
[15:23] <theadmin> yourfrinedisaac: Nope
[15:23] <jpds> yourfrinedisaac: No.
[15:24] <WarDekar> okay possible I set some config things wrong I was editing a bunch of diff files trying to set this thing up
[15:24] <Aelingil> Sidewinder1, i'll look up that too, thank you!
[15:24] <yourfrinedisaac> threadmin, and jpds, thanks lol
[15:24] <theadmin> WarDekar: Basically: sudo pptpsetup --create myprovider --server pptp.example.org --username user --password "!AmHax0r" && sudo pon myprovider
[15:25] <WarDekar> right reading the help right now
[15:25] <yourfrinedisaac> theadmin, and jpds, thanks lol
[15:25] <jpds> yourfrinedisaac: Sure.
[15:26] <WarDekar> oh yeah I remember this, when i tried doing it this way before: "FATAL: Module ppp_compress_18 not found | /usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in kernel."
[15:26] <theadmin> WarDekar: Maybe try without --encrypt?
[15:27] <WarDekar> yeah i didn't use the --encrypt option
[15:27] <kingfisher64> would anybody be able to help me with some advice to get a printer working with Ubuntu? I have to sort this out and desperately don't want to go back to windoze. It's a canon pixma mp495 all in one. The scanner just doesn't work but the printer will print from most programs - but not the one I need - Scribus.
[15:27] <Toph2> kingfisher64,,, wireless?
[15:27] <caution> how do I change the screen resolution from the terminal?
[15:28] <WarDekar> am i gonna have to build kernel myself? or should i just use a different distribution?
[15:28] <theadmin> WarDekar: Whatever works for you lol ;)
[15:28] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - it has wireless
[15:28] <theadmin> caution: xrandr -s 640x480
[15:28] <caution> thanks
[15:29] <caution> how do I change the keyboard layout (country) from the terminal?
[15:29] <theadmin> caution: setxkbmap us
[15:29] <theadmin> caution: Replace us with two-letter country code (gb, de, ru...)
[15:29] <Toph2> kingfisher64,,, i'm just working on a Canon  MX410...  Canon has all the drivers for Ubuntu online, but I haven't got it working yet either
[15:29] <handsome-cheung> hi all.
[15:30] <rabbi1> hi, i did reset xorg, did reset gnome, but still i am unable to get my x loaded (login screen) .... :(
[15:30] <caution> awesome, thanks
[15:30] <theadmin> caution: This will allow you to cycle between layouts with alt-shift: setkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru,de,gb
[15:31] <Bubo> Hello
[15:31] <caution> where can I find a list of x commands like that?
[15:31] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - There are some major issues with Ubuntu and printers from the sound of it.
[15:31] <rabbi1> tried ALT + PRNSCN + K aswell but with no luck....
[15:31] <Bubo> I have a problem with installing Gimp. I added a repository to install the 2.7.4 version but i have 2.6 version installed before, so i removed it thorugh the ubuntu software center and then tried installing gimp 2.7.4 (through the ubuntu software center and then through the terminal) and it doesnt work
[15:32] <Bubo> it says that same packages are installed but not the version they should be
[15:32] <Toph2> kingfisher64,,, according to the threads on the MX410, the printing works, but not the scanning
[15:32] <Bubo> example pachakge-namex.x.x is installed -> to be installed package-namex.x.x
[15:32] <rabbi1> Bubo: you had to purge remove the previous version of GIMP
[15:32] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - yep I can get it to print in every program, except Scribus, however the scanner just doesn't work.
[15:33] <Bubo> How do i fix it now rabbi1 ?
[15:33] <theadmin> caution: I dunno lol, some most important are: xrandr, setxbmap, xmodmap, xev
[15:33] <Bubo> what is purge remove?
[15:34] <Nick48> join ##acta
[15:35] <rabbi1> Bubo: sudo apt-get --purge remove gimp gimp-data gimpshop; sudo apt-get  --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo  apt-get install gimp
[15:35] <Bubo> should i run all of those?
[15:36] <rabbi1> friends, my ubuntu is sick, I am not getting the login screen (May be X din't load). Tried recovery din't work. any suggestion ?
[15:36] <meskarune> rabbi1: you need to tell us specifically what is wrong. when you turn on your computer, and hit ubuntu in grub what happens?
[15:36] <fidel> rabbi1: an you start i.e. lightdm from terminal after boot?
[15:37] <rabbi1> Bubo: u have already removed gimp, remove the supporting files, and then update your apt-get and then select Gimp from the Syn Mgr, and install
[15:37] <theadmin> Anyone, um, I remember we had a program in the repos which allowed to emulate most X events (mouse clicks, keypresses, window resizing, tons of stuff), it was really handy but I totally forgot the name, Google is of no help... Anyone can name it?
[15:37] <Bubo> rabbi1: unmet dependencies: gimp : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.2) but 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[15:37] <rabbi1> Bubo: Sorry, i got more problems :(
[15:38] <Bubo> :(
[15:38] <rabbi1> meskarune: when i get hit boot, i get a command prompt and then a blank screen, that's it
[15:39] <meskarune> rabbi1: is it the grub prompt or your system prompt?
[15:39] <OerHeks> theadmin, xdotool ?
[15:39] <rabbi1> meskarune: in my first boot, I got a login screen and a note saying "gnome was unable to install" something like this. I then restarted after that i just get blank screen .....
[15:39] <theadmin> OerHeks: That's it! Thank you :)
[15:40] <s_enya> h,hello
[15:41] <rabbi1> meskarune: system prompt ...
[15:41] <fidel> rabbi1: i would test if i can jum to a terminal session (i.e. via ctrl+alt+f6) can try to login there. then check if x,loginmanager(lightdm or gdm most likely) are running - are startable etc
[15:41] <kingfisher64> anybody else know anything about getting printers to work in ubuntu? I've tried for days (not in a row thankfully) to get this working and I just can't.
[15:42] <caution> xdotool is cool
[15:42] <s_enya> i have gpu problem. please help
[15:42] <Chipzzz> Bubo: try running "sudo aptitude"... it's pretty good at resolving such problems
[15:42] <rabbi1> fidel: i am able to login from there, and i also tried resetting gnome and xorg, but no luck after that, still i am able to login from ctrl+alt+f6
[15:42] <Bubo> Chipzzz: command not found
[15:43] <fidel> rabbi1: define "no luck" regarding restarting x/loginmanager
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: what make / model?
[15:43] <meskarune> rabbi1: if you can log in, do you think you could type "startx" and see if x starts? I'm thinking maybe x is trying to load, and that is the black screen you are seeing
 that is the problem
[15:43] <qw-Russian> hello
[15:43] <qw-Russian> help me i would like install MS Access from Linux but I do not know as it to do
[15:43] <kingfisher64> canaon mp495 - it's a all in one ActionParsnip
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> !wine | qw-Russian
[15:44] <raider1> I'm doing a new install with ubuntu server, built the raid on the raid card, ubuntu detection sees RAID and says  "One or more drives containing serial ATA RAID configurations have been found.  Do you wish to activate these raid devices?"  I select Yes, but no raid is showing up to partition.  Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: checked the canon europe site, they provide some linux drivers
[15:44] <bazhang> qw-Russian, check the appdb , /join #winehq after installing wine
[15:44] <whoever> hi all, is there a way to determin the image size that clonezilla will make
[15:44] <OerHeks> rabbi1, what was the error exactly ? 'gnome 3d unable to install' ?
[15:44] <rabbi1> meskarune: Fatal Server error: Server is already active for display 0, If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
[15:45] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org qw-Russian
[15:45] <rabbi1> OerHeks: don't remember, not 3d for sure, some popup on the right hand top corner of the screen
[15:45] <Chipzzz> Bubo: you're missing "aptitude"?!
[15:45] <qw-Russian> thanks
[15:45] <Bubo> Yes, i am installing it now though
[15:45] <s_enya> i can not use Radeon HD 7700 and newest fglrx
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: gimme a sec, i'll get a link
[15:45] <theadmin> Chipzzz: aptitude is not preinstalled in most recent Ubuntu versions, they're using apt-get by default
[15:46] <rabbi1> meskarune: and also, MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keygiving up
[15:46] <compdoc> I never use aptitude - whats wrong with apt-get?
[15:46] <meskarune> rabbi1: ok, so x is starting , but its not loading your gnome desktop
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?type=download&page=1
[15:46] <Bubo> Chipzzz: i found libglib2.0.0 - should i REMOVE or PURGE?
[15:46] <Chipzzz> Bubo: whew!
[15:46] <llutz> compdoc: nothing, but aptitude has some nice features
[15:46] <theadmin> compdoc: aptitude prints somewhat more senseful errors (say, not just "broken packages", but "package X depends on Y, but Y conflicts with Z. Remove Z?", something like that)
[15:46] <rabbi1> meskarune: xinit: REsource temporarily unavailable (errono 11): unable to connect to xserver
[15:47] <theadmin> compdoc: Other than this, I have no idea :D
[15:47] <rabbi1> xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
[15:47] <Bubo> Chipzzz: i found libglib2.0.0 - should i REMOVE or PURGE? to fix my error ?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: use the debs, install the ones for your arch, reboot and have the rinter powered and attached. I suggest you delete any printers you have tried to install
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: well, the ones for THIS printer
[15:47] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i just caught the tail end of the problem... can you tell me quickly about it?
[15:48] <Bubo> I have a problem with installing Gimp. I added a repository to install the 2.7.4 version but i have 2.6 version installed before, so i removed it thorugh the ubuntu software center and then tried installing gimp 2.7.4 (through the ubuntu software center and then through the terminal) and it doesnt work

[15:49] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i would remove it first & if you have problems after that, try purging it
[15:49] <Toph2> ActionParsnip,,, i'm working on the same problem as kingfisher64 ,, i didn't reboot,, perhaps that is my problem
[15:49] <raider1> Anyone able to help with raid setup?
[15:49] <kingfisher64> I've tried every driver I can to get it working. Is printing within Scribus in ubuntu a big problem? I can print from within firefox. The scanner doesn't work at all though. I suspect that it's not installed properly as the print queue says it's printed correctly when it hasn't. I'll do what you've suggested ActionParnsip. I found this page (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-a-canon-all-in-one-printer-working-with-ubuntu.html) stat
[15:49] <Bubo> Ok i will remove it and try installing gimp again
[15:49] <quiescens> for the vast majority of packages purge and remove do the same thing anyway
[15:50] <Chipzzz> Bubo: good luck :-)
[15:50] <rabbi1> meskarune: This is all i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/843174/ so what to do ?
[15:50] <Bubo> i will need it Chipzzz :D
[15:50] <Chipzzz> Bubo: have faith ;-)
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> Toph2: worth a try
[15:51] <Toph2> yes
[15:52] <s_enya> Does Radeon HD 7700 series not support  Linux?
[15:52] <Bubo> Chipzzz: aptitude said 8 broken packages and i pressed resolve and it said 127 needed to be removed..
[15:52] <rabbi1> meskarune: got to reset gnome ? which i have already done it....
[15:52] <caotic> hi i am about to trash an ubuntu vm, how can i take the list of packages I installed, in a manner i can feed it back to apt-get in the replacement machine ?
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> s_enya: with proprietary driver, should be ok
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> !clone | caotic
[15:53] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i wouldn't do that...
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> caotic: you may need to instal aptitude
[15:53] <Bubo> i already did it :|
[15:53] <caotic> ActionParsnip: thank you so much,
[15:53] <Bubo> 1117 packages broken. Yes, i broke it again. f*ck
[15:54] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - on http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?type=download&page=1 is it right that i need number 46? It says source file - does that mean i have to compile it or anything?
[15:55] <Chipzzz> Bubo: that might not have been such a good idea :-(
[15:55] <Bubo> Is there a way to undo the last changes?
[15:55] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: This is all i get when i hit startx http://paste.ubuntu.com/843174/ could you please help me out.
[15:55] <Bubo> if i restart -> ubuntu wont start
[15:55] <LostPW> hello
[15:55] <s_enya> ActionParsnip: really? I use "http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/RC11Driver.aspx"
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: read the bottom 2, not the top 2
[15:56] <raider1> Hi Guys,  If I have a new install on a machine with hardware RAID, and its not showing the RAID when at the partition screen, does it mean the raid is not supported in the kernel?
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> s_enya: i dont buy ATi, but there is a proprietary driver available which should make it work
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: then X is already running..
[15:57] <Chipzzz> Bubo: <alt><ctl>F1, log in, sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> raider1: you may need an extra module if the hardware isn't detected by default
[15:57] <Bubo> but it removed skype and every installed app
[15:57] <Bubo> i saw removing skype :|
[15:57] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: ok, but i just get a blank screen, suggestion was "gnome" problem, I am not getting my login screen, so now how to set my gnome back ?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: what GPU do you use?
[15:58] <Computer-01> Hi, anyone knows a repository for MYSQL WORKBENCH for ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[15:58] <Chipzzz> Bubo: it shouldn't have purged the config, so when you install skype again, your settings will be there
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Computer-01
[15:58] <mbeierl> Does anyone know how to make an SSH port tunnel (say for port forwarding) time out on connection loss more quickly?  Sometimes it takes close to an hour before my ssh tunnel goes away...
[15:58] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: I am on 10.04, AMD Athlon 64 with in built NVdia Graphics card
[15:59] <Bubo> ok ill try that
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[15:59] <kingfisher64> sorry - i don't know what you mean? The two drivers on the canon website for linux are: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-822888&page=5&type=download, http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-822884&page=5&type=download - do i need both?

[16:00] <ActionParsnip> raider1: run:  lspci   use the output to see how you can make it work (you need the driver for the controller chip)
[16:00] <Chipzzz> Bubo: sudo apt-get install tasksel

[16:01] <Computer-01> !removeppa

[16:01] <raider1> ActionParsnip: k, thx
[16:01] <imgrey> could somebody please show me sources.list from natty ?
[16:02] <imgrey> I need gnome-shell and I cant find it
[16:02] <imgrey> because I upgraded from lucid
[16:02] <Bubo> ok done
[16:02] <Bubo> but it removed many more.. 127 packages :|
[16:03] <User_007> Hello guys, i am using Natty AMD64 and a custom 3.2.6 kernel. I downloaded ufw but it seems it's rules don't work (but the default deny, accept and reject works fine)
[16:03] <Chipzzz> Bubo: lol... it'll put them back, don't worry
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: or you can hold shift at boot and press E to edit the line and add it there
[16:03] <Bubo> so
[16:03] <Bubo> i need to restart now?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> User_007: custom kernels are not supported here
[16:03] <User_007> does iptables changed a lot after 2.6.38 version?
[16:04] <Chipzzz> Bubo: did you tasksel install ubuntu-desktop?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> User_007: its a different driver for the ethernet too
[16:04] <Bubo> yes
[16:05] <Bubo> it finished
[16:05] <Chipzzz> Bubo: keep your fingers crossed :-)
[16:05] <Bubo> :|
[16:05] <mman> does any body know a CRM software?
[16:05] <trever420> i'm actually in the process of trying to figure out an alternative to IPTables (something more friendly) for ubuntu
[16:05] <Bubo> im backing up the home folder first
[16:05] <User_007> ActionParsnip, i am using wireless
[16:05] <sipior> User_007: it's possible you left out some of the iptables functionality in your build. review your kernel config!

[16:05] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: Just add it on the last line ?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> User_007: same difference, its a different driver
[16:06] <User_007> humm
[16:06] <User_007> thanks anyway
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: I'd delete: quiet splash    and put it in it's place
[16:07] <Yabden> firestarter was a pretty good iptables frontend last time i used it
[16:07] <Yabden> which was a few years ago
[16:07] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - ok I know what you mean now. I've already got these downloads and installed the .debs - Still didn't work last time i tried it though, but i'll try again. I just want to clarify. I'll uninstall any existing printer drivers using synaptic package manager. Turn printer on and install the debs files while printer is on - then restart>
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: thats all I know of Canon. I always buy HP as they work out of the box with HPLIP which is in a default install
[16:08] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - many thanks i'll try.
[16:09] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: ok, done, but nothing happened, it just ran through some test screen and back to blank screen
[16:10] <melvincv> I have BSNL broadband, I plan to shift to Airtel. What is the bill cap value in http://www.airtel.in/new/ ?
[16:10] <melvincv> I mean, I didn't understand what bill cap value means in their 6GB UNO plan.
[16:10] <raider1> ActionParsnip: I found marvell doesn't make a driver for this for ubuntu.. is there a list of ubuntu drivers that come with 10.04 LTS?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> raider1: could try liveCD to test
[16:11] <caution> how do I run a command in the terminal so that it opens a new terminal tab?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> raider1: is there an open source driver made by the community?
[16:11] <h00k> melvincv: that's probably something to ask your provider, it doesn't have anything to do with Ubuntu
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> caution: seems to say the option here: http://www.cs.potsdam.edu/cgi-bin/man/man2html?gnome-terminal.wrapper+1
[16:12] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: any suggestions ?
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: did you install the proprietary driver?
[16:13] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: how could i install ? i booted from that line and then again blank screen.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: can you boot to command line with an internet connection?
[16:13] <raider1> ActionParsnip: i did lsmod and it shows "sata_mv 29924 0" does that mean the module is loaded or not?
[16:14] <raider1> ActionParsnip: usedby is 0
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> raider1: I have that too and use onboard sata
[16:14] <melvincv> http://www.airtel.in/new/   Please select Region: Kerela  City: Ernakulam This displays the plans - Maybe someone here knows.
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: do you use a wired connection?
[16:15] <caaakeeey> hey, 11.10 or 11.04 for amazon AMI (or other?)
[16:15] <bazhang> melvincv, thats offtopic here, ask your provider
[16:15] <h00k> !ot | melvincv
[16:15] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: nope, a usb connection, and i am using it on my laptop now
[16:15] <OerHeks> melvincv, your question can be answered by your provider only.
[16:16] <raider1> ActionParsnip: how would I do this "By rebuilding the sata_mv.ko module from dapper's kernel (2.6.15-26.45) with the above fix applied, I can access and modify data on disks attached to the Marvell controller."
[16:16] <kimo> am having problems with repositories anybody can help pls
[16:16] <raider1> ActionParsnip: is that even possible at install?
[16:16] <MonkeyDu1t> kimo  ask away
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> raider1: dapper is debian, not ubuntu

[16:17] <raider1> ahh thx
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> oooops
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> brainfart
[16:18] <raider1> is it possible the raid I built in the card is the issue? and just kill the raid i created and let ubuntu make a software raid?
[16:18] <melvincv> ok, thanks... I'll call customer care

[16:21] <kimo>  ActionParsnip: cant download anything from the net due to repositories
[16:21] <trever420> thanks i know what shorewall is.. i asked if anyone used it...  i'd like to get some opinions on how it compares to IPTables
[16:21] <Yabden> shorewall is a frontend for iptables
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> kimo  do you get any errors? also check you do not have 2 downloaders 'open' simultaneously, they block each other
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> kimo: can you run:  sudo apt-get update    and pastebin the output, use: http://pastie.org
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> trever420  this is not the right place for opnions
[16:23] <ubukou> whatever happened to the thunar samba plugin?
[16:23] <kimo> The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
[16:23] <kimo> no i dont have 2 download running at the same time
[16:24] <c31r2g> hi
[16:24] <MonkeyDust> kimo  start by typing sudo apt-get update, first
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> kimo: can you run the command I gave and use the link I gave to provide the output
[16:24] <imgrey> # apt-cache search gnome-shell
[16:24] <imgrey> libmutter0 - window manager library from the Mutter window manager
[16:25] <imgrey> WTF UBUNTU ?
[16:25] <FloodBot1> imgrey: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:25] <imgrey> where is gnome shell ?
[16:25] <imgrey> FloodBot1, you suck
[16:25] <bazhang> imgrey, watch the language
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: users can use apt-cache, no need to become root
[16:25] <kimo> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> imgrey  it's easier to just ask, if you want to get kicked from the channel
[16:26] <imgrey> ActionParsnip, # lsb_release -sc
[16:26] <imgrey> natty
[16:26] <thetinyjesus> Hey I cannot stand both the current state of gnome 3 and unity, should I try out Debian or do things just not work as well in debian
[16:26] <kimo> ActionParsnip:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[16:26] <imgrey> back to the topic, could somebody please share sources.list ?
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-shell natty
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: there is your answer
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: gnome-shell is a gnome3 app, natty still uses Gnome2
[16:27] <Bubo> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> imgrey  maybe there's a PPA for gnome-shell in natty
[16:27] <Chipzzz> thetinyjesus: there's kubuntu if you don't like gnome/ubity
[16:27] <imgrey> ActionParsnip, but how do I install Gnome3 ?
[16:27] <ubukou> anyone using thunar?
[16:27] <imgrey> MonkeyDust, wtf PPA ?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: you'll need to upgrade to Oneiric

[16:27] <bgs1> trying to boot an a laptop from an ubuntu cd and hitting a particular error each time.  The CD works on other computers and the computer boots the HD just fine. Error: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1). My boss gave me the laptop and told me to make it work, so I don't know much about it. any ideas where to start?
[16:27] <auronandace> 11.10
[16:27] <bazhang> imgrey, stop with the language
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: there is but it breaks stuff
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3 | imgrey
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> imgrey  easiest is to upgrade natty to oneiric
[16:28] <thetinyjesus> Chipzzz: It's not that I hate them, i don't like that i cannot view current live windows without alt-tab, and everything has a lag to it even using an I5 processor
[16:28] <theadmin> auronandace: Heh, 1.10 -- I'd like to point out that the first ubuntu version is 4.10 :D
[16:29] <auronandace> theadmin: i corrected myself above :)
[16:29] <thetinyjesus> Chipzzz: my windows 7 boots 2 times faster and runs faster and that's never normal when compairing to linux
[16:29] <Bubo> I get error when i do sudo apt-get update -> GPG error ppa link The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> thetinyjesus: depends on config
[16:29] <theadmin> auronandace: Just a funny fact :D Kinda freaky, you know, if you don't know the Ubuntu versioning system you'd think the first would be 1.0 or at least 1.04 :D
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> thetinyjesus  my linux boots 10 times faster than win7
[16:30] <thetinyjesus> MonkeyDust: do you have an i5?
[16:30] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: I am dead .... :(
[16:30] <Chipzzz> thetinyjesus: i'm running oneiric with gnome/unity and cairo-dock. I have no such problems :-)
[16:30] <c31r2g> linux will always boot faster than any windows system and thats the truth(universal)

[16:31] <imgrey> MonkeyDust, thank you

[16:31] <theadmin> Guest65299: Install gnome-fallback or xfce4, they both act very similar to gnome2
[16:31] <c31r2g> bazhang
[16:31] <Guest65299> nice theadmin
[16:31] <thetinyjesus> Chipzzz: its not that i have problems, its just if i log in using gnome classic things just run so much faster
[16:31] <Chipzzz> Bubo: glad to see you made it back... that's encouraging :-)
[16:32] <bazhang> c31r2g, you know this is not the chat channel  #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[16:32] <Guest65299> theadming: I am in Lubuntu now, but it just isn't right
[16:32] <Bubo> Yes Chipzzz, it had removed skype and acrobat reader, I just installed them back. But still i cant install gimp, same error and also when i go to fix broken packages in synaptics package manager it says E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[16:32] <Guest65299> theadmin: I am in Lubuntu now, but it just isn't right

[16:38] <ginnal> upgrade from ubuntu 10.04to 11.01 bookmarks missing? why
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> kimo: I suggest you run a final backup, wipe Jaunty out and install a clean version of Oneiric (11.10), or wait until April then install a clean install of Precise (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
[16:38] <crizzy_> ginnal: you can only update one release at the time (from 10.04 to 10.10 for example) OR from LTS to LTS (10.04 to upcoming 12.04)
[16:39] <Bubo_> It booted normally :| how do you check if its recovery mode? Also, what should i do in recovery mode? Chose FSCK and ?
[16:39] <Kre10s> Trying to install a gedit regular expression plugin. http://halfhourhacks.blogspot.com/2008/03/gedit-regular-expression-plugin.html plugin does not show in list... what have i done wrong?
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> Bubo  fsck and then repair broken packages
[16:40] <kimo> ActionParsnip:i was trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.10. upgrade wasnt complete i had to restard computer and culdnt access ubuntu anymore. i formated the comp and installed ubuntu 9.04
[16:40] <ginnal> upgrade to 11.01 bookmarks missing? why
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what GPU do you use?
[16:40] <whoever> hi all, is there a way to determin the image size that clonezilla will make
[16:40] <Lint> !9.04
[16:40] <auronandace> kimo: you can't go directly from 10.10 to 11.10
[16:41] <Lint> is there OCR software for ubuntu?
[16:41] <Chipzzz> Bubo_: it isn't in recovery mode if you didn't get a grub menu
[16:41] <kimo> ActionParsnip:sorry my fault, its the next upgrade after 10.10
[16:42] <auronandace> kimo: the releases are every six months, so you'd have to go from 10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10 (would be better to just fresh install 11.10)
[16:43] <Chipzzz> Bubo_: the other question is a little harder... i don't know what being in recovery mode is going to help in your situation
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what GPU do you use? What happened when you tried a clean 11.10 install
[16:43] <kimo> ActionParsnip:I have tried to install 10.10 straight away it didnt work
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what happened?
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> !ocr | Lint
[16:44] <kimo> ActionParsnip: the system is restarting tried it several times
[16:45] <nibbler__> i used thunderbird from some mozilla ppa, how do i revert to ubuntu-thunderbird?
[16:45] <Lint> MonkeyDust, it was last updated 1 year ago
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> nibbler__  delete the ppa
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> Lint  that happens
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> nibbler__: remove the PPA, uninstall thunderbird then reinstall it
[16:45] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - well i've just finished installing the printer and it works. Not tried the scanner yet. I think there is a problem with the print queue's or something as it worked exactly as before on re-install but I hit a button on the top and it worked, printing something previous out. many thanks for your advice though :) ActionParsnip++
[16:46] <nibbler__> MonkeyDust, ah okay - thanks
[16:46] <auronandace> !ppa-purge | nibbler__
[16:46] <nibbler__> MonkeyDust, before i tried to do that, and it wanted to remove like 200 dependencies - now i used apt-get instead of aptitude... and ran an update in between - don't know what solved my problem :)
[16:46] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - did you get your printer working?
[16:47] <Bubo> Hi again.. I booted into recovery mode, but when I get the menu there i cant choose anything, it seems my keyboard isnt responding.. i tried pressing every key on it, nothing.
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> nibbler__  if it works, it works :)
[16:47] <Bubo> But the backlight on the buttons is working
[16:47] <nibbler__> MonkeyDust, exactly ;-)
[16:48] <Chipzzz> Bubo: do you get a working <alt><ctl>F1 terminal?
[16:48] <ginnal> any lottery help channels?

[16:49] <Bubo> yes its a usb keyboard
[16:49] <c31r2g> !

[16:50] <c31r2g> please Bubo

[16:51] <Chipzzz> Bubo: it's beginning to look like you're stuck with the older gimp until a newer libglib2 turns up in your repos
[16:52] <Bubo> Oh, cant i just delete libglib2 and try to install the new one ?
[16:52] <Bubo> when i try remove libglib2 i get some other error, should i paste it in paste.ubuntu ?
[16:52] <bgs1> I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the policy for re-requesting help.  I guess I can assume no one knows where to start if no one responds?
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: test your RAM
[16:53] <lanoxx> im trying to install skype on oneiric, but it does not work
[16:53] <Bubo> Also, it worked before I formatted Chipzzz. I had gimp 2.7.x version, but i hadnt installed 2.6.x version before it.. maybe thats the problem
[16:53] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i'm thinking that since you're installing a gimp that isn't available in the ubuntu repos yet, the required libglib may not be available yet either
[16:53] <lanoxx> after several tries now i dont even see skype in the repository eventhough i have the partner repo activated
[16:53] <lanoxx> how can i debug this
[16:53] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, the hdd OS loads just fine; would that preclude a RAM problem?
[16:53] <Viman> Is there a way to convert OGV to AVI without making it look like crap?
[16:54] <Bubo> But it was available for me before formatting
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: try both xsane and simplescan. I've seen simplescan not work where xsane did
[16:54] <Bubo> i installed the gimp then the same way i tried installing it now
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> lanoxx  http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/09/15/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-11-10/
[16:55] <kimo> ActionParsnip:any suggestions
[16:55] <Chipzzz> Bubo: what version libglib is it asking for, what version do you have, and what version ubuntu do you have?
[16:55] <Lint> can linux users have no password?
[16:56] <Bubo> 11.10 ubuntu
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: what GPU do you use?
[16:56] <Bubo> Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.2) but 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[16:56] <MonkeyDust> Lint  the password is what makes linux more secure than windows
[16:56] <Lint> MonkeyDust, don't be ridiculous please
[16:57] <xubuntu5> he wasn't
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> Lint  don't be rude, please
[16:57] <bazhang> Lint, lose the attitude
[16:57] <Chipzzz> Bubo: ...working...
[16:57] <lanoxx> MonkeyDust, software center says: 'There isn't a software package called "skype:i386" in your software sources.'
[16:57] <lanoxx> but i have partner activated and ran aptitude update a couple of times
[16:58] <Bubo> Chipzzz: what do you mean working ?
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> lanoxx  maybe you should try sudo apt-get update, first
[16:58] <bazhang> lanoxx, does apt-cache search skype show anything
[16:58] <kblin> hi folks
[16:58] <Lint> I'm simply too old for puerile stuff like passwords. Still, is it possible?
[16:58] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, I was kind of afraid the questions would get down to that level. The truth is the HDD os is a debian install and I don't even have an account on it, so short of opening up the laptop I don't know what the GPU is. I can do that if need be.
[16:58] <xubuntu5> that skype search only shows
[16:58] <xubuntu5> pidgin-skype - Skype plugin for libpurple messengers
[16:58] <kblin> how do I force a device that uses IPv6 autoconfiguration to look for a new route?
[16:59] <lanoxx> bazhang, MonkeyDust only pidgin plugins
[16:59] <llutz> Lint: it is but it will break sudo for that user
[16:59] <waaaagh> hello
[16:59] <Lint> llutz, and sudo -u root ?
[17:00] <Thurin1> Lint, yes you can have no password.
[17:00] <llutz> Lint: sudo requires a password, a user without cannot use sudo
[17:00] <xubuntu5> when i use xming why is the display variable set to 10?
[17:00] <theadmin> llutz: You can always use NOPASSWD in sudoers so
[17:00] <lanoxx> bazhang, is there maybe some cache file that i could delete?
[17:00] <Thurin1> But then you can't login.
[17:00] <Lint> llutz, and if root user has password, will sudo work for root?
[17:00] <llutz> theadmin: you also can shot yourself in the knee
[17:01] <theadmin> llutz: I know :D
[17:01] <MonkeyDust> Lint  i guess that was an elaborate way to say: "no"
[17:01] <theadmin> Lint: sudo always works for root, root is granted full sudo privelegs by default, but then again, point?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: is it a branded system?
[17:01] <Lint> no login password nonsense
[17:01] <Thurin1> Lint: ....
[17:02] <Chipzzz> Bubo: ...(i'm) working (on it)...
[17:02] <Thurin1> Lint: If you really want to do it...
[17:02] <Thurin1> adduser whatever
[17:02] <theadmin> Lint: It's not nonsense... Um, just set an autologin?
[17:02] <Thurin1> passwd -f -u whatever
[17:02] <xubuntu5> f u? lol
[17:02] <Thurin1> Yep.
[17:02] <Bubo> oH, ok Chipzzz, thanks
[17:02] <Thurin1> (lol)
[17:02] <xubuntu5> heh
[17:02] <Bubo> ill be waiting
[17:03] <Thurin1> But I don't think you can actually set root to have no passwd
[17:03] <Thurin1> ... but you could always try, with -f -u
[17:03] <Thurin1> passwd -f -u root
[17:03] <MonkeyDust> Lint  but expect the system to say f u ;)
[17:03] <Thurin1> Never tried, not going to, might not work.. could break things.
[17:03] <caution> how do I remove an alias in bash set with the alias command?
[17:03] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, yes. Toshiba Portege M400.
[17:03] <llutz> caution: unalias alias
[17:04] <caution> thanks
[17:05] <theadmin> Lint: To disable a password on USERNAME, use: sudo passwd -d USERNAME # But still, it's a bad idea. Consider searching for an autologin option in your login manager

[17:06] <Bubo> How do I install that manually Chipzzz ?
[17:06] <lanoxx> i somehow fixed it, so now i have skype installed, but when i start it on the terminal then there is no output and skype does not run
[17:07] <lanoxx> no reaction at all
[17:07] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - last time i tried xsane wouldn't work - but will give both a go. :)
[17:07] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, can you please give me a little more detail into how to set a boot option?  I'm sorry, I'm fairly new to this.  Is it something I change on the boot cd? something I change in the bios?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: the link shows how
[17:08] <bgs1> Ohh. Ubutto's message.  I see, thanks.

[17:17] <Thurin1> It's not impossible.
[17:17] <Thurin1> Err
[17:17] <danileigh79> Viman: should be to change fps rate in the main conversion window

[17:19] <Thurin1> You just add 'network' to your side panel.
[17:20] <Lint> Thurin1, add it from where?
[17:20] <Thurin1> In Gnome (not sure if Unity changed this) - you add network to side panel, and boom. Open files from network on browse.
[17:20] <danileigh79> When i type in "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" to reactivate my wifi, it says "Cannot open input file wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" How can I fix this so I can make my wifi settings permanent?
[17:20] <Thurin1> When you click the open dialog, you see the panel to the left with destinations? Add network as a destination as well.
[17:21] <Viman> Thurin1: changing fps didn't exactly do it. The screen still looks scrambled (I did a screencast)
[17:21] <caution> how do I set a system wide environmental var?
[17:21] <Viman> from gtk-RecordMyDesktop
[17:22] <Thurin1> Viman: Yeah, not fps.. overall quality.
[17:22] <Lint> Thurin1, there's only Search, Recent, Home, Desktop, Filesystem, Floppy, CDROM, and folders from my profile, no network in sight
[17:22] <Thurin1> Just read the ffmepg manual, it tells you how to set parameters.

[17:22] <Thurin1> Lint: It's not there by default, but you can add it yourself.
[17:23] <Lint> it is there in file manager, but not in open dialog :(

[17:25] <User_007> hello, i am running Natty AMD64, 2.6.38-13 kernel. I set my ufw to deny everything, but i allow in and out of ports 80 and 443. But the rules seems to not work, and all the ports seem to be blocked. (it don't work and nmap say it's all closed)
[17:26] <Thurin1> For now Right click an open space in the "Open File" section and select "Show hidden files". Then go to .gvfs and your remote share will be mounted there.
[17:26] <Thurin1> Keep in mind that the 'open' dialog is application specific, so for some you'll never be able to open across network.

[17:31] <Chipzzz> lol
[17:32] <User_007> It seems ufw just deny everithing and ignore any rules i add. I thought it was a kernel problem, but it seems to happen the same thing with generic ubuntu kernel.
[17:32] <web1> xinerama*
[17:32] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, I tried the nomodeset boot option and still got the error.
[17:32] <Thurin1> User_007: Did you remember to update your firewall after adding the rules?
[17:32] <Thurin1> :)
[17:32] <Chipzzz> Bubo: if you were trying to install a newer one, i don't think it would complain
[17:32] <rabbi1> Thurin1: what should i look for in log folder ?
[17:33] <User_007> sorry, how to update? it's just disable and enable the ufw?
[17:33] <rabbi1> Thurin1: I can't see errro file at all
[17:33] <Thurin1> rabbi1: Look through the xorg.0.log's  (all numbers) look for (EE)
[17:33] <Bubo> well i pressed on the .debian file and it opened the ubuntu software center -> pressed install -> it said that below the description and i have install button available again
[17:33] <Thurin1> Pastebin your xorg.0.log
[17:34] <Thurin1> Bubo:
[17:34] <Thurin1> Write down the package name.
[17:34] <Thurin1> Remove the package.
[17:34] <Chipzzz> Bubo: I have an idea... maybe someone here: #gimp has had a similar problem... try "/join gimp"
[17:34] <Thurin1> Install - apt should get the right version
[17:34] <PastorBones> I had to disable nouveau in yaboot in order to get my ubuntu ppc to boot, but now my nvidia display shows psychodelic colors...how do I get nouveau working correctly? I'm lost....plz help :P
[17:35] <Thurin1> Bubo: REMEMBER to "apt-get update" BEFORE you install.
[17:35] <Thurin1> PastorBones: Nouveau is buggy as hell in PPC.
[17:35] <Bubo> Thurin1: thats not the problem :\
[17:35] <rabbi1> Thurin1: I am really sorry, i don think i would be able to pastebin it. coz i can't connect that system to net. anything specific i have to look out for ?
[17:35] <Thurin1> PastorBones: You may never get it functional, google for your exact machine see if others have same problem.
[17:36] <Thurin1> Yes, Errors rabbi1 if no errors.
[17:36] <Thurin1> Remove the Nvidia driver and go back to what worked.
[17:36] <Thurin1> It could be too new for the xorg you're using.
[17:36] <PasNox> Hi all
[17:36] <PastorBones> Thurin1, new install, nothings worked so far
[17:36] <MonkeyDust> !info nouveau
[17:36] <Thurin1> Bubo: I thought you were trying to install a program and having Lib conflicts. ;)
[17:36] <PasNox> i'm looking for a ppa for installing sdlmess but i can't find anyone :/ any hint ?
[17:36] <MonkeyDust> what's nouveau?
[17:37] <Thurin1> PastorBones: Yeah... :( well good luck, I mean Nouveau still has issues on x86, ... I can only imagine the issues on PPC.
[17:37] <PastorBones> nouveau is a display driver
[17:37] <omry> all the sudden, my gnome got completely crazy. windows on the second screen attached to the laptop wont maximize properly, and in most cases they wont respond to the mouse properly either
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: open source nvidia driver
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> ok
[17:37] <omry> anyone saw this? reboot didnt help
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: its not bad :)
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> i have intel video :)
[17:37] <PastorBones> Thurin1, so what would be the solution leaving nouveau disabled? xorg.conf?
[17:37] <User-007> sorry, internet went down
[17:37] <manisabri> Hi I uninstalled the drivers that I downloaded from AMD site and installed ATI/AMD drivers  from additional drivers , now there are no catalyst control ceneter, any ideas?
[17:37] <Thurin1> PastorBones: Yup.
[17:37] <Bubo> Thurin1: yes i do have that problem, but i tried apt-get update manymany times and i cant resolve it
[17:38] <edgy> Hi, what's the command to list files in an uninstalled package?
[17:38] <Thurin1> Bubo: I know...
[17:38] <Thurin1> But it's going to check your current version against .. current version.
[17:38] <User-007> how do i update the firewall after adding the rules?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> edgy: i'd check packages.ubuntu.com
[17:38] <Thurin1> Remove (write down package name) - apt-get update - install.
[17:38] <Thurin1> See if the same error is reproduced.
[17:38] <Bubo> i cant remove it
[17:38] <edgy> ActionParsnip: in synaptic I remember I can also see the files, so there is surely a command to do it
[17:38] <Thurin1> If so, download the most current and create a ln -s to it.
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> edgy  try apt-cache show
[17:39] <Thurin1> Bubo: Of course you can
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> edgy: maybe an option in dpkg
[17:39] <Thurin1> Just go into the libs, delete it with rm ...
[17:39] <manisabri> any idea why there are no catalyst control center after installing amd drivers?
[17:39] <Bubo> Thurin1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/843310/
[17:39] <llutz> edgy: apt-file does this
[17:39] <Bubo> it says that when i use apt-get remove
[17:40] <Lint> is it possible to list dlls loaded in a certain process?
[17:40] <Thurin1> Bubo: Yeah, but sometimes that can cause stupid problems with libs.
[17:40] <Thurin1> But anywho
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> Lint  linux dioes not use dll's
[17:40] <Thurin1> What is the app?
[17:40] <Thurin1> And have you run apt-get update?
[17:41] <Bubo> yes i have
[17:41] <Thurin1> And have you just tried to manually apt-get the dependencies?
[17:41] <User-007> Thurin1, how do i update the firewall after adding the rules? (i am using ufw)
[17:41] <Bubo> also i want to install gimp 2.7.5
[17:41] <Bubo> I had 2.6.x installed before, but i removed it using the software center
[17:41] <Bubo> then added the new repository
[17:41] <Bubo> used apt-get update
[17:41] <Bubo> then apt-get install gimp
[17:41] <Thurin1> User-007: ufw app update --add-new <name-of>
[17:41] <Bubo> and i get errors with unmet dependencies
[17:41] <Lint> very funny. linux, windows and macosx use dlls. in linux they have .so extension
[17:42] <Thurin1> Bubo: Ahhhh
[17:42] <edgy> llutz: which option with apt-file?
[17:42] <Thurin1> Bubo: Well that's your prob
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> Lint  maybe you mean dpendencies
[17:42] <llutz> edgy: apt-file list packagename  (man apt-file)
[17:42] <Thurin1> You're using a new repo for apps and your libs are using another repo.
[17:42] <edgy> MonkeyDust, ActionParsnip: tried both apt-cache and dpkg but couldn't know which option
[17:42] <Thurin1> Shouldn't do that.
[17:42] <Lint> dependency is a package manager term
[17:42] <michele__> ciao
[17:42] <edgy> llutz: that didn't work
[17:42] <llutz> edgy: sure it does
[17:43] <Thurin1> If you do that often you're going to end up with a broken system... with apps to new for your libs.
[17:43] <Thurin1> If you want to go that route...

[17:43] <llutz> edgy: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file list package

[17:44] <michele__> scusate
[17:44] <Lint> llutz, not pid?
[17:44] <Thurin1> Then if the app demands that libs be in a certain dir... just sym-link your compiled libs there
[17:44] <Bubo> yeah no idea how to do that..
[17:44] <Thurin1> Bubo: But yeah, don't update repos unless your repos actually have the libs and don't break your existing ones.
[17:44] <Thurin1> Bad stuff bro
[17:45] <llutz> Lint: not pid

[17:46] <goathouse774> If I'm ready to transition to Linux and some form of gui, can expect help here?  basically, is this a noob-friendly environment?
[17:46] <theadmin> goathouse774: Yes
[17:46] <edgy> llutz: I tried sudo apt-file list samba4 but got no result
[17:46] <Thurin1> But when it comes to new software Bubo... it's not in the Repos for a reason, because it will break stuff. :)
[17:46] <Thurin1> If you want to be bleeding edge.. you should try another distro
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> goathouse774  yes, just do not use the word noob, it's not a nice word
[17:46] <Thurin1> It's probably safer for you... :P
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: no, sorry :(
[17:47] <Lint> goathouse774, modern GUIs are friendly, but of Abibas quality
[17:47] <llutz> edgy: did you run "sudo apt-file update"?
[17:47] <edgy> llutz: I guess I ran it before but let me redo it
[17:47] <goathouse774> Awesome!  Well I am.  I have a comp with 512 ram and a slow crappy version of windows.  What should I do?
[17:47] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, okay, thanks for your advice so far!  I will continue to research it I suppose
[17:47] <compdoc> get more ram
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> goathouse774  lubuntu is for old pcs
[17:48] <Thurin1> goathouse774: You should go with XFCE.
[17:48] <Lint> goathouse774, 512 MB is bare minimum to run modern Ubuntu
[17:48] <Thurin1> goathouse774: Xubuntu is for you.
[17:48] <Thurin1> It's easy enough for noobs and 256mb's is base.
[17:48] <Thurin1> It can probably install on 128, but with 512 you're good.
[17:48] <goathouse774> Ok.  Am I in the right channel then?
[17:48] <Thurin1> What cpu goathouse774 ?
[17:48] <Lint> xubuntu uses half of the gnome environment, so it isn't exactly light
[17:49] <Thurin1> goathouse774: Yeah, it's just Ubuntu with XFCE.

[18:06] <OerHeks> skrewt, If the name of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as \040
[18:07] <skrewt> same with username?
[18:07] <OerHeks>  if servername or sharename has a literal space (i.e. ' '), substitute \040 instead, so that 'server name' becomes 'server\040name'
[18:08] <skrewt> perfect
[18:08] <skrewt> ill try it now
[18:09] <skrewt> it may be working, it didnt kick back an error immediately

[18:36] <Kartagis> any*
[18:36] <danileigh79> ss1: it's not necessary, you can use liveusb or live cd and just run a simplified version
[18:36] <ss1> i dont know the difference. im prety new. the reason im using ubuntu is because im learning Ruby on Rails
[18:36] <EntityReborn> danileigh79, I have used 4 seperate discs, frshly burned
[18:37] <ss1> and i do not want to buy a mac
[18:37] <danileigh79> EntityReborn: where are you getting the install to make your discs from?
[18:37] <EntityReborn> danileigh79, torrents
[18:38] <danileigh79> EntityReborn: try getting the actual ISO from ubuntu.org and making a usb installer with pendrive linux
[18:38] <EntityReborn> Will try
[18:39] <EntityReborn> I do know this system can USB boot, so we'll see.
[18:39] <zykes_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/843382/ shouldn't this work ?
[18:39] <danileigh79> ss1: You can make it so your computer has 2 operating systems, and choose which you want to load during boot, I did that for 3 years before getting another computer for just Ubuntu
[18:39] <danileigh79> brb
[18:40] <ss1> yeah.. hmm i might do that
[18:40] <auronandace> !dualboot | ss1
[18:41] <kmels> Hello, a USB seems to be connected (as shown by dmesg) but it doesn't show up in fdisk -l (I want to mount it), what could be wrong?
[18:41] <pros977> kmels: when you dmesg it, you should see a partition like sda1. In which case, create a direction --mkdir usb, then mount /dev/sda1 usb
[18:42] <OerHeks> kmels, use sudo fdisk -l
[18:43] <kmels> pros977, I don't see it, I only see this: http://pastebin.com/sNun3pCd
[18:43] <kmels> OerHeks, that's what I did indeed

[18:51] <Natherul> hey all, anyone know how to get emerald working? i got it installed but typing emerald --replace does nothing
[18:51] <Walrus_> Allo.
[18:53] <zykes_> noone here good at net config ?
[18:53] <danileigh79> Natherul: Did you install it through terminal?
[18:54] <theadmin> Natherul: Emerald is deprecated, it no longer possible to use, been so for ages
[18:54] <Natherul> indeed danileigh79
[18:54] <pacman105> ciao
[18:54] <pacman105> !list
[18:54] <theadmin> Natherul: emerald is a compiz window decorator, and I tend to beleive that compiz dropped support for it
[18:54] <danileigh79> Natherul: theadmin is right, it's outdated, what version Ubuntu you have?
[18:55] <Natherul> the newest, 11.10 isn't it? :P
[18:55] <NimeshNeema> Bubo: Ask LjL he might be able to give some help
[18:55] <danileigh79> Natherul: It shouldn't have dl'ed unless you had the ppa reinstalled... it was deleted back in 10.04 I believe
[18:55] <theadmin> Natherul: The real newest is the unreleased 12.04 alpha. The newest main release is 11.10, and the newest LTS is 10.04, so which of these 3 xD
[18:56] <danileigh79> theadmin: quit being a pain lmao
[18:56] <Natherul> i use 11.10
[18:56] <theadmin> danileigh79: ?
[18:56] <danileigh79> theadmin: I was making a joke about how literal you ccan be sometimes
[18:57] <theadmin> Natherul: Either way -- Emerald is outdated. You don't use it. Why do you want it, anyway?
[18:57] <theadmin> danileigh79: I'm just making sure.
[18:57] <danileigh79> theadmin: I know :P
[18:57] <Natherul> i found a theme i would like to use, i dont really like the GUI of the ubuntu they way it comes "out of the box"
[18:57] <michal__> hiho
[18:58] <theadmin> Natherul: Well... that's sad, cause, well, won't work. Search for Compiz/Metacity themes instead
[18:58] <michal__> I am newbie;d
[18:58] <theadmin> michal__: Just ask your questions
[18:58] <Chipzzz> Bubo: did you try changing the theme?
[18:58] <danileigh79> Natherul: recommended tool is gnome-tweek-tool, works for unity too
[18:58] <theadmin> danileigh79: It's spelt "tweak" :P
[18:59] <danileigh79> theadmin: duh *facepalm*
[18:59] <danileigh79> theadmin: I made a boo boo
[18:59] <Natherul> gnome-tweek, compiz, metacity are these theme managers as well?
[18:59] <theadmin> Natherul: Compiz is the current Ubuntu window manager iirc, Metacity is the fallback one. Gnome-Tweak-Tool is just a crazy set of configuration options
[18:59] <danileigh79> Natherul: gnome-tweak-tool compiz and metacity, yes, I mispelled tweak
[19:00] <Natherul> is there any site dedicated to themes to either of those? :P
[19:01] <danileigh79> Natherul: gnome-look.org I believe
[19:01] <michal__> What I can make on ubuntu?
[19:01] <Natherul> thank you, both danileigh79 and theadmin
[19:01] <danileigh79> Natherul: I also have screenlets installed, you can find screenlets from gnome-look.org too
[19:02] <danileigh79> Natherul: you're very welcome hun
[19:02] <reSPAWNed> Hi everyone!

[19:15] <cloudgeek> i am student but love to use command line linux with ubuntu server as my desktop
[19:15] <mustafaerhann> "an elephants dream " movie was made with linux and gnu/gpl softwares.
[19:15] <ubuntos> savage2005: try this

[19:16] <mlc> cloudgeek: yea the bash is very good tool
[19:16] <tkroo> hi, I have a cursor problem. here is a video showing what is happening:http://youtu.be/LLMzTE-d7Fw    I think it was caused when I chose 'high contrast' from the accessibility icon during installation of Ubuntu. How can i fix this? thanks!
[19:17] <ubuntos> sudo os-prober
[19:17] <ubuntos> then
[19:17] <ubuntos> sudo update-grub
[19:17] <ubuntos> I think this will fix it
[19:18] <danileigh79> tkroo: high contrast enables visual assistance, changing from high contrast should fix this
[19:18] <tkroo> danileigh79, i've toggled high contrast several times, it still persists
[19:18] <danileigh79> tkroo: after changing back, did you reboot?
[19:19] <savage2005> it found 1 win 1 win recovery and 1 linux, this is promising im going to restart and check it out, thanks ubuntos
[19:19] <tkroo> danileigh79, yes rebooted also.
[19:19] <ubuntos> savage2005: you are welcome :)
[19:19] <tkroo> danileigh79, it happens when i use a Unity session and when i use a Gnome session at login.
[19:20] <mustafaerhann> ~/.config/autostart or in /etc/xdg/autostart.  danileigh79 look this files.
[19:20] <illsci> I'm trying to increase the open file limits for a user name esearch and I edited the limits.conf file but ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn still show 1024
[19:20] <illsci> is there some trick to get this to work on Ubuntu?
[19:20] <tkroo> so it's happening not just in Unity, but also in Gnome. is what i mean.
[19:20] <danileigh79> tkroo: check out universal access
[19:21] <danileigh79> tkroo: in system settings
[19:21] <savage2005> ubuntos, no dice still 2 of each
[19:21] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: gonna check it out in a few
[19:22] <mustafaerhann> ok.
[19:22] <systemclient> How can I get the graphics library into php? I use plain libapache-php5
[19:22] <mustafaerhann> u should add the command that u using to enable your wifi  in a autostart.desktop file.
[19:22] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: ok, opened it up in gedit, how should I word the commands?
[19:23] <mustafaerhann> exactly what u using to enable your wifi.
[19:23] <mustafaerhann> its works as a terminal.
[19:23] <Pici> systemclient: You mean php5-gd?
[19:23] <tkroo> danileigh79, i'll try toggling some more options there to see if it helps. i've tried changing the cursor theme and i can get the theme to change, but anywhere the cursor changes to a "hover" icon, it goes to 'high contrast' big style.
[19:23] <danileigh79> must ok
[19:23] <systemclient> Pici: that sounds good
[19:23] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: ok
[19:23] <mustafaerhann> ok. inform me  bio break.!
[19:23] <danileigh79> tkroo: ok, I'm sorry wasn't of more help
[19:24] <tkroo> danileigh79, cheers
[19:24] <ubuntos> savage2005: are you ready to get your hands dirty and remove them manually ?
[19:24] <systemclient> Pici: yeah, it works. thanks!
[19:24] <Pici> systemclient: sure, no problem.
[19:24] <savage2005> ubuntos, yeah, be warned though my linux exp is pretty small
[19:25] <ubuntos> take a look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[19:26] <ubuntos> you must open it with sudo
[19:26] <ubuntos> sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[19:26] <Myrtti> ubuntos: gksudo
[19:27] <meskarune> someone is probably gonna jump on yoru with gksu ubuntos
[19:27] <ubuntos> the same
[19:27] <savage2005> i opened it with gedit, it is empty
[19:27] <Myrtti> ubuntos: not really
[19:27] <meskarune> oh lol
[19:27] <savage2005> ubuntos, i opened it with gedit, it is empty
[19:27] <meskarune> savage2005: can you do "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg" in a terminal?
[19:28] <meskarune> savage2005: or "locate grub.cfg"
[19:28] <popsch> when I delete something located at a different partition (same machine, not a network mount), then it doesn't show up in the trashcan
[19:28] <popsch> where can I find the trashed files, please?
[19:28] <ubuntos> are you sure ?
[19:29] <savage2005> meskarune, i have grub.cfg located
[19:29] <meskarune> awesome
[19:29] <popsch> ubuntos, yes
[19:29] <ubuntos> cat it out :)
[19:30] <ubuntos> make sure you type the path correctly
[19:30] <forever889>  popsch: usually on the disk as hidden .trash001
[19:30] <savage2005> where do i want to cat it to?
[19:31] <ubuntos> pastebin.com
[19:31] <meskarune> savage2005: just type "cat /path to file" in teh terminal and past the output to pastebin. then link that here
[19:31] <popsch> forever889, interesting. I found that directory, but how do I delete the stuff in there via the gui?
[19:32] <popsch> forever889, these files don't show up when I click on the trash icon
[19:32] <forever889> popsch: depends if its root lock. to get full access to your files use: sudo nautilus
[19:33] <savage2005> meskarune, http://pastebin.com/uAnV4W0Y
[19:33] <forever889> in console
[19:33] <meskarune> popsch: never do sudo nautilus...
[19:33] <ubuntos> savage2005: it is not empty loool
[19:34] <savage2005> when i opened with gedit it waas
[19:34] <savage2005> but just cat in terminal gave me all that
[19:34] <loganrun> does anyone know how to change the default pdf viewer
[19:34] <Myrtti> forever889, popsch, ubuntos: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[19:34] <CrOnOs2000> hi i have a problem cups, textonly driver just dont work, log say -document-format-not-supported any ideas?
[19:35] <savage2005> ubuntos, i told you i was noob lol
[19:35] <thearthur> pallet
[19:36] <ubuntos> savage2005: no pb I was a noob too not long ago ;)
[19:37] <ubuntos> savage2005: you have 4  menu entries :
[19:37] <savage2005> yeah
[19:37] <ubuntos> Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic
[19:37] <ubuntos> Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode)
[19:38] <ubuntos> Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
[19:38] <ubuntos> and
[19:38] <ubuntos> Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sdd1)
[19:38] <savage2005> i only want 2, when i select what os i want its the top win and top ubuntu is it same order in this list?
[19:38] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: it won't let me save it, says there's no file to save...
[19:40] <ubuntos> savage2005: this is the default ubuntu grub behavior
[19:42] <ubuntos> you can keep 2 menu entries but it is not a good idea
[19:42] <savage2005> i dont know what you mean
[19:42] <BlouBlou> savage2005: you may want to keep OS's recovery mode, so if they fail, you'll be able to fix them
[19:43] <ubuntos> if you want a fancy grub menu try to install burg
[19:43] <Somelauw> Where should I put my script so it gets executes immediately when I log in?
[19:43] <ubuntos> http://bit.ly/oRkpLx
[19:43] <savage2005> right but those are not on my list the i have 4 os's on my start up only 2 work
[19:43] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I'm trying to do the same thing lol
[19:44] <savage2005> delete that "the"
[19:44] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I was told ~config/autostart, but I'm having trouble with it saving
[19:44] <ubuntos> 2 os + 2 recovery
[19:44] <savage2005> 2 dont work
[19:45] <Somelauw> danileigh79: I assume they meant .config
[19:45] <dryicebomb> BlouBlou: is this a graphical environment? if so you can go to startup applications and call out your script there
[19:45] <BlouBlou> Somelauw: you can save it wherever you want, just add it to "Start applications"
[19:45] <uchitel> how can i configure the right-click context menu?
[19:45] <savage2005> the recoverys are selected using f8 while highlighted
[19:45] <CXIV> I want to install ubuntu and I got old IBM thinkpad with very slow HDD , about 12 MB/s read and write , what file system will be the best for such a slow disk?
[19:46] <Diranged> is there an RC script in ubuntu that i can add to that will run on-shutdown of a host?
[19:46] <Diranged> (we want our cloud hosts to deregister a few things on shutdown.. even if they're going to just reboot)
[19:46] <Somelauw> danileigh79: It doesn't save?
[19:47] <BlouBlou> Somelauw: yeah, or as dryicebomb said "startup applications" (I have ubuntu in spanish)
[19:47] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I just used gedit ~/.config/autostart.desktop and it worked
[19:47] <ubuntos> Myrtti: thx a lot for the link, I did not know that a difference exists !
[19:48] <Somelauw> BlouBlou: Okay, I'll try that. I assume it automatically creates a desktop file.
[19:48] <danileigh79> Somelauw: now to test if it will work by rebooting :P
[19:48] <danileigh79> bbs, gonna test out a autostart script
[19:49] <ubuntos> savage2005: if you want to remove them you can delete :
[19:49] <ubuntos> menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode)" { ... }
[19:49] <ubuntos> and
[19:49] <ubuntos> menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sdd1)" --class windows --class os { ... }
[19:49] <ubuntos> but be very careful !!!!!
[19:50] <savage2005> brb
[19:50] <tasslehoff> is it no longer possible to select a custom script to open a movie file with? in nautilus´ menu I only get a list of the recommended applications
[19:51] <Diranged> anybody know of a 'on shutdown' script that runs in ubuntu?
[19:51] <Somelauw> Okay, I'll try
[19:52] <trever420> Diranged you can schedule a shutdown with cron
[19:52] <Somelauw> Okay, it works almost. I just need to disable something.
[19:52] <Somelauw> Because my wallpaper changes twice now
[19:53] <trever420> Diranged: if you only want it to run once at a certain time you can just use the 'at' command
[19:53] <Diranged> no, i want it to run when i shut thebox down
[19:54] <trever420> oh i see
[19:54] <bluebomber> Does anyone know how I can hide the network-manager icon in 11.10?
[19:55] <trever420> u need to put your script in /etc/rc6.d Diranged
[19:55] <Somelauw> Wait, can I disable wallpaper in gnome. The problem is that my script changes wallpaper, but the gnome wallpaper is set after my script ran, so can I prevent gnome from setting my wallpaper?
[19:55] <trever420> and make it executable using chmod + x <scriptname>
[19:55] <Diranged> ok.. thats fine
[19:55] <Diranged> easy enough
[19:55] <trever420> the name of your script I think needs to begin with K99 to run at the right time
[19:55] <trever420> the scripts are ran in alphabetical order in that folder
[19:56] <trever420> i havent dont this in a long time but i think the method is the same
[19:57] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: didn't work...
[19:58] <savage2005> ubunos, i think i might be explaining this wrong, when i boot up after the bios clears i get a screen to choose from 4 OS's that used to be 2 after i reinstalled both OS's the list gave me 4 my 2nd win doesnt work and both ubuntu options load my new install
[19:58] <hexacode> anyone know how i can set defauly file permissions in unix...its default to 666 right now
[19:58] <savage2005> ubuntos,*
[19:58] <hexacode> i need to change it
[19:59] <Somelauw> hexacode: 644, I think
[19:59] <hexacode> Somelauw:  yes but where can i change it
[19:59] <hexacode> or see where its set
[19:59] <danileigh79> Somelauw: Mine didn't work, you try yours yet?
[19:59] <llutz> hexacode: "umask" controls this
[20:00] <Somelauw> danileigh79: It works, it's just that gnome tries to set my wallpaper as well and gnome is winning.
[20:00] <Natherul> hey again, anyone got any idea what might be wrong when you try to gnome-shell --replace and you get the error that OpenGL version could not be determined?
[20:00] <Somelauw> danileigh79: Did you make a .desktop file or use the guitool?
[20:00] <ubuntos> savage2005: does it work ?
[20:00] <savage2005> does what work
[20:00] <trever420> hexacode and llutz: isnt that controlled in /etc/profile
[20:01] <Somelauw> hexacode: chmod 644 filename
[20:01] <danileigh79> Somelauw: how did you build the script? I'm trying to run "modprobe b43" to automatically enable my wifi when I start my laptop
[20:01] <Somelauw> Or use properties
[20:01] <trever420> or is that in ~/.bashrc
[20:01] <ubuntos> removing the 2 menu from grub.cfg
[20:01] <Somelauw> danileigh79: It's just bash and it is set to exectuble
[20:01] <trever420> Somelauw, i think he wants to chang ethe DEFAULT permissions
[20:01] <trever420> on all files
[20:01] <savage2005> i didnt do it, little nervous im doing the wrong thing
[20:01] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I wonder if it didn't work because it requires sudo...
[20:02] <Somelauw> danileigh79: Maybe you can put gksudo in the script itself.
[20:02] <trever420> hexacode are you trying to change the default permissions on all files created by a user?
[20:02] <ubuntos> savage2005: try to install burg :
[20:02] <ubuntos> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/beautiful-burg-boot-loader-gets-ubuntu-11-04-ppa/
[20:03] <danileigh79> Somelauw: Dunno, will play around with it a bit more in a while
[20:04] <hexacode> trever420 boss wants ftp to default to 775 on file upload....however, the umask section of vsftpd seems to subtract from the default which is 666 it seems. i basically need 775 on file upload through ftp but i need to change the default system i think.
[20:04] <Natherul> anyone got any idea why im getting OpenGL version could not be determined when doing a gnome-shell --replace?
[20:04] <trever420> u have a user account that gets used for FTP uploads hexacode?
[20:05] <trever420> a i think a normal user account's defualt directory permissions are 775 abd tge default file permissions might be 664
[20:06] <trever420> err....  abd/*nd/and       tge/*he/the
[20:06] <savage2005> ubuntos, how do i check to see where my MBR is located (what hard drive)
[20:07] <lasers> savage2005: First 512MB iirc.
[20:07] <trever420> hexacode: also what FTP server package are you using? proftpd?
[20:07] <lasers> savage2005: Oh which hard drive, derp.
[20:07] <mlc> trever420: glxinfo
[20:07] <ubuntos> of the first hard drive
[20:07] <llutz> trever420: "umask" tells you. usually it is 0022, so dirs 755, files 644
[20:08] <trever420> mlc: what?
[20:08] <savage2005> lasers: ?
[20:08] <mlc> trever420: sry^^ wrong copy and past
[20:08] <mlc> Natherul: glxino
[20:09] <mlc> Natherul: glxinfo
[20:09] <trever420> llutz: isnt that only for the root user
[20:09] <llutz> trever420: no
[20:09] <lasers> savage2005: I don't know.
[20:09] <lasers> :0
[20:09] <trever420> i am working on memory here but i thought that Normal users have the default umask of 002 (which is 775 for dirs and 664 for files)
[20:10] <savage2005> oh
[20:10] <Natherul> mlc: its pamming me with Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on displau ":0".
[20:10] <trever420> while root has the umask of 022
[20:10] <mlc> Natherul: ok.. hmmm
[20:10] <llutz> trever420: why don't you check it?
[20:11] <yakc> I'm having troubles to find command to minimize all normal windows. I'm asking because i'll have to re-create one.
[20:11] <trever420> k... give me a sec gotta boot my vmware guest
[20:11] <trever420> or better yet... google :-)
[20:11] <Natherul> mlc: any idea what might be the issue?
[20:11] <ubuntos> savage2005: you are looking in the wrong way : you do not need this technical infos
[20:11] <trever420> wow... ok google i think worked...  http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html
[20:12] <trever420> The default umask 002 used for normal user. With this mask default directory permissions are 775 and default file permissions are 664.
[20:12] <savage2005> i need to know to know what drive to install burg on
[20:12] <trever420> The default umask for the root user is 022 result into default directory permissions are 755 and default file permissions are 644.
[20:12] <ubuntos> it is /dev/sda ;)
[20:12] <mlc> Natherul: perhaps a missing package
[20:13] <mlc> Natherul: can you open synaptic?
[20:13] <yakc> I'm having troubles to find command to minimize all normal windows. I'm asking because i'll have to re-create shorcut for that
[20:13] <Natherul> sure
[20:13] <ubuntos> savage2005: sudo burg-install "(hd0)"
[20:13] <Natherul> mlc: what do you want me to check in synaptic?
[20:14] <savage2005> ubuntos, oh hey i was just typing all that out in a question
[20:14] <savage2005> do i need the "" and ()?
[20:14] <Alder>  
[20:14] <mlc> Natherul: glx
[20:15] <mlc> Natherul: is there any with mesa
[20:15] <ubuntos> savage2005: sory try this : sudo burg-install /dev/sda
[20:15] <savage2005> ubuntos, shouldnt there be an apt-get in there?
[20:15] <Natherul> mlc: a few
[20:16] <mlc> Natherul: libgl1-mesa-glx
[20:16] <savage2005> ubuntos, it says command not found
[20:16] <mlc> Natherul: libgl1-mesa-dri
[20:16] <Natherul> mlc: yeah, its installed
[20:16] <trever420> hexacode: at any rate llutz might be right but the idea is the same...  if you have an FTP group which i assume you do then you can set the permissions just for that group
[20:16] <trever420> or you can set it for one user if you only have one user who uses FTP
[20:17] <mlc> Natherul: libgl1-mesa-dri installed too?
[20:17] <Natherul> mlc: both are installed
[20:17] <mlc> Natherul: ok
[20:17] <trever420> but i think it's better to set it based on the group that way if you hav more users as long as they are part of the group it should work
[20:17] <trever420> just make sure the group has group ownership over the upload directory
[20:18] <ubuntos> savage2005: ok I have found an easier tutorial
[20:18] <savage2005> haha ok
[20:18] <ubuntos> www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-in-ubuntu
[20:18] <mlc> Natherul: graphic card is from nvidia or ati?
[20:18] <savage2005> ubuntos, brb door bell
[20:19] <Natherul> mlc: nvidia
[20:20] <savage2005> ubuntos. im back what do you have?
[20:20] <ubuntos> follow the tuto carefully
[20:20] <Natherul> mlc: i have installed the prop drivers (recommended) for it as well
[20:20] <mlc> Natherul: yea that is good
[20:20] <ubuntos> and substitute "(hd0)" with /dev/sda
[20:20] <ubuntos> ok ?

[20:30] <pfifo> Shupack, depends on what kind of external disk you mean

[20:32] <mustafaerhann> danileigh79: any fix ?
[20:32] <Shupack> i have a external HD... and i have installed some notebooks from pen-drivers, but i wold like to use a HD ext...!
[20:32] <cristian_c> Hi
[20:32] <mustafaerhann> hi
[20:32] <pfifo> Shupack, you should setup grub2 on the drive and use its isoboot feature
[20:33] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: still working on it, I have a couple friends who are trying to talk me through it too
[20:33] <cristian_c> I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails
[20:33] <cristian_c> the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version 2.0.1.9 to 2.0.2.0, but unfortunately the problem persists
[20:33] <qw-Russian> what difference between $ and # in Linu
[20:33] <cristian_c> What can I do to solve the problem?
[20:33] <mustafaerhann> $ if u are root # if u are normal user.
[20:33] <mustafaerhann> in a terminal qw-Russian
[20:34] <l0gic> hi
[20:34] <Shupack> thanks
[20:34] <pfifo> qw-Russian, root uses $, take a look at .bashrc
[20:35] <tensorpudding> qw-Russian, on the shell the default prompt uses # at the end for root and $ for other users
[20:35] <llutz> mustafaerhann: other way round,  if u are root #   and if u are normal user $
[20:35] <l0gic> could anybody help me debugging mpd? i did an aptitude upgrade the other day and after a reboot mpd refuses to start
[20:35] <Shupack> ok, but dont have no way to do this?
[20:35] <boba88> i just installed netbeans using the sh script from http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html, and I am doing this for the second time today.. the first time it worked on a different computer, but now it also worked but when i write netbeans on the command line it says no program like that
[20:35] <mustafaerhann> llutz:ah mismatch thats true.

[20:37] <djathoris> Does anyone here use a 21143/tulip ethernet card?
[20:38] <WarDekar_> what IPTables rules do i need to use to forward all HTTP and HTTPS traffic through ppp0?
[20:39] <kaiowas> Hello again. Im about to install Ubuntu on my mac, ive burned the cd and everything looks OK. But now i have to partition my harddrive. If i use the diskutility in OSX to take 20GB of my OSX partition to make a Ubuntu partition, will it ruin anything? I dont feel like reinstalling everything today.. :). Anyone here done this?
[20:39] <djathoris> Has anyone here ever used a 21143/tulip ethernet card with linux?
[20:39] <qw-Russian> su: Failure at verification of authenticity
[20:39] <tumppu> especially if you repartition the disk in mac it wont break anything
[20:40] <llutz> qw-Russian: su only works with enabled root-account.
[20:40] <kaiowas> tumppu: Great, then im all set to go Ubuntu then :).
[20:40] <llutz> qw-Russian: if you need a root-shell, use sudo -i
[20:40] <tumppu> and there is almost no risk in repartitioning it with live-cd either
[20:40] <mustafaerhann> danileigh79 did u put "#!/bin/bash"  begin of your script file and set it executable ?
 qw-Russian: if you need a root-shell, use sudo -i   - please full command
[20:41] <kaiowas> tumppu: well im gonna stick with osx discutility. OSX will be the main operating system, Ubuntu is just for fun.. for now :).
[20:41] <boba88> i just installed netbeans using the sh script from http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html, and I am doing this for the second time today.. the first time it worked on a different computer, but now it also worked but when i write netbeans on the command line it says no program like that
[20:41] <llutz> qw-Russian: that is the full command
[20:41] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: no, I was told I shouldn't have to, but I will try
[20:41] <qw-Russian> thanks
[20:41] <tumppu> kaiowas hope after some time you'll see there's no need for mac ;)
[20:41] <tumppu> or osx
[20:42] <kaiowas> well.. i sell apple computers for a living :).
[20:42] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: gonna do a reboot now see if it works
[20:42] <karsten> I'm running 11.10.  I need to add a printer. CUPS won't allow me to log in (pam failure).  How do I get admin privs unger gnome-control-center ro something like it?
[20:42] <Firebolt> I get "ASSERT: "interface->childCount() == children.count()" in file adaptor.cpp, line 200" when I try to run some Qt-based programs, any fix that isn't running them as root?
[20:42] <mustafaerhann> k. good luck.
[20:42] <danileigh79> I'm putting my phone on irc, danileigh79_2 so I can see what's going on here
[20:42] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: I'm putting my phone on irc, danileigh79_2 so I can see what's going on here
[20:42] <trever420> kaiowas, I would not recommend using OS X disk utility
[20:43] <kaiowas> trever420: Why not?
[20:43] <trever420> use Gparted
[20:43] <karsten> I'm NOT running the default Ubuntu GUI, FWIW.
[20:43] <tumppu> fdisk
[20:44] <trever420> tumppu, yes, but i'm sure he doesnt know how to use that properly otherwise he wouldnt be asking... for a beginner gparted is ALOT easier
[20:44] <trever420> kaiowas, i did and it actually screwed up i cant explain why
[20:44] <TehAndrewRyan> How would I do to test the sequential read speed of a ramdisk mounted on /run/shm/ ?
[20:44] <kaiowas> i was thinking using bootcamp.. but from what i understand its no good.
[20:44] <trever420> i ended up just using Ubuntu's gparted utility of the live CD
[20:44] <tumppu> trever420 i do egraa
[20:44] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: just use `dd
[20:44] <trever420> kaiowas, thats what i did and didnt work correctly
[20:45] <trever420> gparted is REALLY super easy
[20:45] <trever420> just as easy as OS X's utility if not easier
[20:45] <trever420> it's a GUI
[20:45] <trever420> just click and drag
[20:45] <TehAndrewRyan> module000: Care to explain it further? I don't wanna break anything, as I'm not really an expert with terminal commands :P
[20:45] <tumppu> the worst thing in ubuntu live-cd is that it doesn't install gparted for default
[20:45] <shade34321> so I've managed to convince my boss to let us delete RHEL off of our comptuers and install Ubuntu instead:D
[20:45] <shade34321> just need to work out the kinks:/
[20:45] <qw-Russian> llutz, It do I must will be each time at included in a cantilever to enter this command?
[20:45] <trever420> i think it comes on the ubuntu live CD
[20:45] <koli> you can have gparted if you run the live cd
[20:46] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: `dd` writes data, so `dd if=/dev/zero of=/run/shm/myfile bs=1M count=1000` would create a 1000MB file
[20:46] <kaiowas> but, whats better with gparted? They dont solve my problem the same way?
[20:46] <llutz> qw-Russian: aeh, what?
[20:46] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: that will tell you the write speed. then you acn test the read speed with `dd if=/run/shm/myfile of=/dev/null bs=1M`
[20:46] <qw-Russian> sudo -i
[20:46] <tumppu> i think gparted is capable of doing more
[20:46] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: in a nutshell, you are writing a 1gb file of 0's and timing it. then you are reading that file and timing it
[20:47] <Alderlane> Hi all...   Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook...   Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version.   Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1:  Partition ends in the final partial cylinder"   -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted.      Any
[20:47] <Alderlane> way to save this ?
[20:47] <trever420> gparted is alot more capable than OS Xs disk utility
[20:47] <kaiowas> Well i can try, do i boot up the live cd and write gparted in the terminal?
[20:47] <trever420> but for the simple thing he needs he doesnt need to know all of it's feautres
[20:47] <shade34321> so we have a /home NFS mount and on start up it does not automatically mount, you have to log in as root first and then it mounts (You don't have to do anything after logging in and it just mounts). Any idea as to why?
[20:47] <trever420> kaiowas, which version of ubuntu are you using?
[20:47] <tumppu> boot the "tes ubuntu without installing"
[20:47] <qw-Russian> llutz, sudo -i
[20:47] <trever420> server or Desktop?
[20:47] <llutz> qw-Russian: pls rephrase your question
[20:47] <danileigh79_2> mustafaerhann, ok, how do I make it so it will do a sudo command?
[20:48] <kaiowas> 11.10 amd64 mac
[20:48] <kaiowas> desktop
[20:48] <tumppu> gparted is GUI-program, so you need graphical desktop environment to run it
[20:48] <trever420> amd64?
[20:48] <trever420> tumppu hence why i was asking
[20:48] <kaiowas> the iso said so..
[20:48] <tumppu> macs have novadays intel processors
[20:48] <trever420> why are you using the AMD64 on a mac
[20:48] <kaiowas> yeah but i was
[20:48] <trever420> it's an Intel
[20:48] <llutz> trever420: amd64 is intel too
[20:48] <kaiowas> recomended  this iso in here, and downloaded it from ubuntus site.
[20:49] <tumppu> its the 64bit "standard"
[20:49] <trever420> oh is it
[20:49] <llutz> trever420: thats just the name of the 64bit extensions, "invented" by AMD
[20:49] <trever420> ohh i see
[20:49] <trever420> sorry my fault
[20:49] <trever420> lol
[20:49] <kaiowas> trever420: i was thinking the same thing when i saw the name, but it also said mac so i guessed it was right.
[20:50] <trever420> well at any rate kaiowas when you boot up the live cd you can select to run it without installing
[20:50] <bik-family> hello all, is this the channel to ask 4 help with ubuntu precise?
[20:50] <trever420> this will bring you to the Ubuntu desktop
[20:50] <Alderlane> afk for a moment to get a USB stick...  brb
[20:50] <trever420> and i dont know exactly wherre in the new version Gparted is but it's on there
[20:50] <llutz> trever420: same thing as you can use i396 on AMD too. just stupid names
[20:50] <kaiowas> Im actually running ubuntu now in Parallels.. maybe i can do it from here?
[20:50] <tumppu> you can search it on the dash
[20:50] <trever420> i dont have the desktop version myself... i have the server version
[20:51] <tumppu> that comes visible when clicked top left corner
[20:51] <trever420> oh ok it has a search function in the desktop version
[20:51] <trism> bik-family: #ubuntu+1
[20:51] <qw-Russian> llutz, I talked about a transition between account and when I am included in a cantilever I not root and after the command of sudo I I am root Question: will I now constantly have to enter this command to be root?
[20:51]  * Alderlane is back
[20:51] <trever420> yea just like OS X's spotlight feature
[20:51] <llutz> qw-Russian: yes
[20:51] <trever420> just type in gparted in the search and it should show up
[20:51] <trever420> then when u run it it'll find your internal drive
[20:51] <tumppu> i like more gnome3 way to do it than unity's
[20:51] <qw-Russian> okey, thank you
[20:51] <llutz> qw-Russian: theres usually no need to be constantly root.
[20:51] <Ariel88> Hi
[20:51] <bik-family> thnx
[20:51] <trever420> i havent used a linux GUI in soooo long
[20:51] <tumppu> :D
[20:52] <danileigh79_2> How do i set up an auto start command to execute as sudo?
[20:52] <kaiowas> nope, i doesn't find it.
[20:52] <tumppu> links and terminal :P
[20:52] <llutz> danileigh79_2: add it to /etc/rc.local
[20:52] <tumppu> kaiowas try alt+f2 and then write gparted
[20:52] <tumppu> or in terminal sudo gparted
[20:52] <Shupack> somebody know somethen about crystal reports?
[20:53] <danileigh79> llutz: The file is currently set as ~/.config/autostart.desktop, do I just drag, drop to the folder you stated?
[20:53] <kaiowas> sudo: gparted: command not found
[20:53] <llutz> danileigh79: ah a gui thing, that won't work from rc.local.
[20:53] <kaiowas> apt-get gparted maybe?
[20:53] <trever420> i just looked it may not come on the CD it seems
[20:53] <tumppu> apt-get install gparted
[20:53] <iceroot> kaiowas: sudo apt-get install gparted
[20:53] <trever420> but i could've sworn it did at one point
[20:53] <Alderlane> afw, going to try wiping my USB thumb so I can create a rescue drive for the netbook..  brb
[20:53] <Ariel88> Sorry. I forgot my password and cant log into ubuntu! any help??
[20:54] <rasca> Hello I've just installed vsftpd but when I try to run it with `sudo service vsftpd start` I get: `vsftpd stop/pre-start, process 5958` but no process is running..
[20:54] <trever420> ariel88 yes i can help
[20:54] <Ariel88> trever420 thanks!
[20:54] <kaiowas> its installing now
[20:54] <trever420> Ariel88 u'll need to boot into single user mode to get it changed
[20:54] <danileigh79> llutz: what exactly I'm trying to do is have the computer execute "sudo modprobe b43" during start up so I can quit typing it in terminal to activate my wi-fi adapter
[20:54] <trever420> this will drop you to a root console
[20:54] <TehAndrewRyan> module000: And this gives me the sequential speeds of it?
[20:54] <Ariel88> aha, and then??
[20:54] <trever420> are you on a different computer from the one u need to change the password on Ariel88 ?
[20:55] <rasca> when I execute it in standalone mode it works perfect
[20:55] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: yep, itw ill tell you bytes-per-sec for both of those operations
[20:55] <trever420> i'll walk you through the steps
[20:55] <Ariel88> no, its this pc, another partition
[20:55] <trever420> eek... you should try to get at me from a different machine :-(
[20:55] <piehands> Hi there... I was led here from the Ubuntu.com website... I am in dire need of some help if possible...?
[20:55] <trever420> u need to boot in single user mode to make it work
[20:55] <Ariel88> ok, ill search the web about single user mode
[20:55] <Ariel88> thanks for the tip!!
[20:56] <kaiowas> it looks like parallels wont let me find my harddrive, it just shows the image file for it..
[20:56] <trever420> Ariel88, http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub
[20:56] <Ariel88> thanks a lot
[20:56] <trever420> the difference is that when you run 'passwd'
[20:56] <trever420> you need to type the username after
[20:56] <Natherul> anyone know how to fix when im adding drivers to my nvidia card then im not allowed to run gnome-shell as then OpenGL version can not be determined? it works without prop drivers but then the comp is slower -.-
[20:56] <trever420> so for example "passwd <username>"
[20:57] <trever420> kaiowas, did gparted install?
[20:57] <Ariel88> and why is that important?
[20:57] <trever420> Ariel88 so it knows which user you are changing the password for
[20:57] <trever420> lol
[20:57] <Ariel88> i see, thanks!!
[20:57] <kaiowas> trever420: yes, but it only shows 60 gb of my harddrive that is on 320... So I think Parallels is hiding my drive and just shows an image.
[20:58] <trever420> otherwise it'll just change the root password which this channel doesnt support logging on as root Ariel88 so i cant help you with that without ppl freaking out on me
[20:58] <rasca> any ideas?
[20:58] <trever420> but just make sure you type passwd <username> when you get to that step
[20:59] <trever420> hmmm i dunno how parrell could be hiding it but i guess it could be possible
[20:59] <kriestof> hi, how can I copy my parittion from one device to another?
[20:59] <trever420> kriestof, another reason to use gparted :-)
[20:59] <bananstol> quick question. how do i find out what version of the drivers are contained in the "nvidia-current" package?
[20:59] <iceroot> kriestof: the exact image? with the same size?
[21:00] <tumppu> does the gparted find 1 or more disks?
[21:00] <trever420> yes
[21:00] <trever420> it can shows the disk on the upper right hand side
[21:00] <piehands> I am an absolute Ubuntu novice, and I needed to try and retrieve some files from a dodgy hard drive & was told that I could install Ubuntu and backp the files from there... So I installed Ubuntu on my Windows 7 64bit machine, and now I cannot boot Windows anymore, it comes up with the error "error: no such device: aa47e41b-f58f-4009-a05f-9ff32db85c8c. grub rescue>" - This is as far as I can
[21:00] <piehands> get!! I really am scared, I neeeeed to get back into Windows! Please, I beg you, can someone help me???
[21:00] <trever420> you select the drop down
[21:01] <trever420> piehands do you care if you can still boot ubuntu?
[21:01] <kriestof> iceroot: No, it's my home paritition and I want to move it to completely other one(in size and fs).
[21:01] <piehands> No, I don't care about Ubnutu, I just need Windows back
[21:01] <tumppu> piehands open nautilus (the file manager)
[21:01] <trever420> do u have access to a Windows 7 CD?
[21:01] <ikonia> piehands: if your disk is dying you won't get it back with ubuntu, you'll need a professional data recovery service
[21:01] <trever420> u can rewrite the bootloader and get rid of grub
[21:02] <piehands> Nautilus, is that on the Ubntu disk?
[21:02] <trever420> also if ur disk is dead like ikonia said then u could be screwed
[21:02] <kaiowas> tumppu: one disc, wich is what i have..
[21:02] <piehands> trevor420 - how can I rewrite the bootlaoder? I don't have a windows 7 disk to hand...
[21:02] <trever420> piehands... can u access the hard drive from the Ubuntu Live CD?
[21:03] <Firebolt> piehands, do you get to the grub screen itself?
[21:03] <piehands> The disk I was trying to get fiels from was an external, so that don't matter.. It's the main C drive & windows I need back
[21:03] <tumppu> kaiowas ok
[21:03] <trever420> this will tell us if the HD is actually working
[21:03] <Firebolt> or does the entire boot partition fail?
[21:03] <kaiowas> it shows used 5.54gb and Unused 57.71gb.. and its 320gb. So thats why i figure it must be Parallels that is blocking it.
[21:03] <Natherul> anyone know how to fix when im adding drivers to my nvidia card then im not allowed to run gnome-shell as then OpenGL version can not be determined? it works without prop drivers but then the comp is slower -.-
[21:04] <ikonia> Natherul: where are you getting drivers from ?
[21:04] <piehands> I'm rebooting from the ubntu livecd, one moment... I am quite sure i can get to the c drive from there
[21:04] <Ariel88> trevor420: ill try this. Thanks again!
[21:04] <Natherul> ikonia: the additional drivers in ubuntu´s system settings
[21:04] <ikonia> Natherul: that's great, thats the right place to get them
[21:04] <st0rmr1der> Hello to everyone
[21:05] <kriestof> iceroot: Will using just cp will be a good idea?
[21:05] <Natherul> ikonia: indeed but it still fekks up the OpenGL so icant run gnome-shell
[21:05] <ikonia> Natherul: tone down the language please
[21:05] <ikonia> Natherul: what video card do you have ?
[21:05] <kaiowas> piehands: might not help you now, but i have a bad external harddrive that i cant acces from OSX.. In Ubuntu i can access it and copy everything. So goodluck with your external.
[21:06] <Natherul> ikonia: I meant no disrespect, that why I did not use the right word, and its an Nvidia mobile GT525
[21:07] <trever420> Ariel88: np
[21:07] <trever420> let me know if u need assistance
[21:07] <trever420> oh he's gone
[21:07] <trever420> lol
[21:07] <kaiowas> Right, im gonna try disk utility now..
[21:07] <ikonia> Natherul: do you have the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:07] <shade34321> anybody have any experience with NFS mounts?
[21:08] <trever420> kaiowas, what happened with gpared?
[21:08] <TehAndrewRyan> Would a local MySQL database improve performance significantly compared to one running off of a website?
[21:08] <Alderlane> How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ?   There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' and "there can be only one"..  :)
[21:08] <ikonia> shade34321: yes, just ask your questio
[21:08] <ikonia> shade34321: yes, just ask your question
[21:08] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: what ?
[21:08] <User_007> i was using ufw, but when i try to start it says : error problem running ufw-init, when i try running ufw-init i get: Skip starting firewall: ufw (not enabled). What should i do?
[21:08] <kaiowas> trever420: doesnt find my harddrive
[21:08] <trever420> :-\ really?
[21:08] <shade34321> ikonia, We have an ubuntu machine and it doesn't automatically mount the nfs start up
[21:08] <trever420> that is strange
[21:08] <ikonia> shade34321: is it in the fstab ? or an automount map
[21:08] <shade34321> we have to login as root first, though we don't have to do anything, for it to mount for all users
[21:09] <shade34321> ikonia, yes it's in the fstab, and should be in the automount map but I can't guarantee it
[21:09] <kaiowas> trever420: I think its Parallels thats blocking it. Im gonna try to edit some settings.
[21:09] <shade34321> I will try and check it
[21:09] <TehAndrewRyan> ikonia: I happen to be running a dedicated server computer for a Minecraft server, which stores information for rollbacks on a database running on our website. Whenever we try to rollback though, the whole server just freezes and then crashes, and I don't think it's the computer itself which is lacking performance to do the task, since we can do way heavier stuff without crashing it
[21:09] <ikonia> shade34321: why would you have it as an automount map if it's in the fstab, that makes no sense
[21:10] <kpas_> TehAndrewRyan,  Yes it will be faster access a DB local to the machine the across a network
[21:10] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: what version of ubuntu are you using on the server ?
[21:10] <Natherul> ikonia: yes i do have that file, sorry for the delay of response :P
[21:10] <shade34321> ikonia, you asked. I've never heard of the automount map before so I just googled it. If it's not necessary if it's in the fstab then that would not be the issue
[21:11] <waltermundt> Question: in 11.10, when I use xmonad, many GNOME applications seem to be missing many of their icons, particularly the stock ones.  They look fine when run from Unity.  Any ideas what might be wrong?
[21:11] <kaiowas> trever420: It IS Parallels thats blocking it. It only wants to show me the Ubuntu image file im using as my virtual system.
[21:11] <ikonia> Natherul: no problem, in that file is there a line that says, driver "nvidia"
[21:11] <TehAndrewRyan> ikonia: 11.10 Desktop Edition (with all GUI stuff uninstalled, I installed it before I learned how to manage a computer via SSH)
[21:11] <trever420> hmm stupid parrallels.. i've neve rused parrallels
[21:11] <ikonia> shade34321: ok so when I ask if it's an automount map, the correct response is "I don't know", not "yes it is"
[21:11] <Natherul> ikonia: nope, and the file is very small :P
[21:11] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: thats fine,
[21:11] <trever420> i thought parallels just made a virtual drive not a real drive
[21:11] <Alderlane> I need to FORCE a LLF on a USB Thumb drive that is write protected.  Is there a shortvut to accomplish this ??
[21:11] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: so, the mysql database is run on this machine ?
[21:11] <Alderlane> shortcut
[21:12] <kaiowas> trever420: it is a virtual drive, but it only shows the virtual to gparted.
[21:12] <ikonia> Natherul: ok - so that's the issue, that's why the nvidia module is not being loaded, and you have no 3d performance
[21:12] <shade34321> ikonia, ok
[21:12] <ikonia> Natherul: or at least, thats the start of the issue
[21:12] <Natherul> ikonia: ok, how do i fix this? ^^
[21:12] <ikonia> shade34321: so can you paste the fstab in a pastebin please.
[21:12] <ikonia> Natherul: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:12] <Somelauw> Does anyone know how to disable gnome from setting background
[21:12] <MaynardW1ters> hello im trying to mount and external 2 drive device which i formatted on slackware 13.37
[21:13] <MaynardW1ters> when I mount it says the filesystem type is not recognized
[21:13] <kaiowas> should i format the new partition somehow, or just as freespace?
[21:13] <ikonia> MaynardW1ters: what file system is on them
[21:13] <MaynardW1ters> i am usign ext3 and it shows up correctly in the disk utility
[21:13] <ikonia> MaynardW1ters: what mount command are you using (exactly)
[21:13] <waltermundt> gnome-control-center is one of the worst.  It prints many "WARNING **: Could not find icon" messages and half the icons on in the main window are missing completely
[21:13] <BrandonBolton> Hello guys, what is the package name for the user management program in Ubuntu?
[21:13] <Alderlane> Hi all...   Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook...   Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version.   Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1:  Partition ends in the final partial cylinder"   -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted.      Any
[21:13] <Alderlane> way to save this ?
[21:13] <Natherul> ikonia: paste.ubuntu.com/843545/
[21:13] <MaynardW1ters> mount -t ext3 /dev/sdh1 /media/mountpoint
[21:13] <TehAndrewRyan> ikonia: No, the DB is running on our web host, as our admin was setting up the database for the website, we decided to use the same)
[21:14] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: ok, so running jobs local to the mysql server will improve performance, especially if there is interaction in the job
[21:14] <shade34321> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/843550/
[21:14] <Alderlane> If I can get this 'write protection' off the Thumb drive, I'll try creating a rescue 'disk'.
[21:14] <shade34321> ikonia, line 17 is the nfs mount
[21:15] <zarus> I'm trying to install from cd and I choose IDE CD-ROM at the menu, but it boots up the installed OS anyway. How to fix this?
[21:15] <ikonia> Natherul: make the file look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/843554/
[21:16] <ikonia> shade34321: ok - so that should get mounted at boot time as long as the server responds within 14 seconds,
[21:16] <toutouille> pourquoi je n'arrive plus à me connecter ?
[21:16] <ikonia> shade34321: what makes you think it's not getting mounted (this may seem a silly question - I assure you it's not)
[21:16] <shade34321> ikonia, no I understand
[21:16] <waltermundt> fixed it -- my machine was missing gnome-icon-theme-full
[21:16] <kaiowas> trever420: should i format the new partition somehow, or just as freespace?
[21:17] <shade34321> ikonia, when users log in, say asmith for instance, he can't access his home partition which is on the NFS mount.
[21:17] <waltermundt> which was apparently the default theme if you run a non-Unity environment
[21:17] <trever420> ummm... kaiowas i dont think it matters
[21:17] <shade34321> ikonia, now if he logs in as root first then logs out he is able to
[21:17] <trever420> when u install ubuntu it'll format it for you
[21:17] <toutouille> y a-t-il quelqu'un qui comprend le français svp ?
[21:17] <trever420> or should
[21:17] <ikonia> shade34321: ok, my first issue is, how can a user login as root, the ubuntu root password is locked
[21:17] <trever420> prob to EXT4 since OS X cant format to EXT4 i wouldnt bother doing anything
[21:17] <kaiowas> trever420: ill format it in fat32 just incase, atleast i can see wich one is correct by looking at the format :).
[21:17] <trever420> just leave it free
[21:18] <trever420> yea
[21:18] <shade34321> ikonia, we have it unlocked in our lab, he didn't like RHEL so he wiped his computer and installed ubuntu
[21:18] <tumppu> in ubuntu itäs not possible to login as root
[21:18] <spaceindaver> You can change the root password to anything you want by typing "sudo passwd"
[21:18] <guntbert> !fr | toutouille
[21:18] <rsainz> sudo bash o sudo -s
[21:18] <shade34321> with that being said we just got it approved for everybody to switch over to ubuntu instead of rhel since it's to far behind for what hey do
[21:18] <ikonia> shade34321: is he the only user on the system ?
[21:18] <tumppu> for that there's sudo
[21:18] <toutouille> ALLO !!!! c'est le site xubuntu ?
[21:18] <guntbert> !noroot | spaceindaver
[21:18] <shade34321> ikonia, technically no but he is the primary user
[21:18] <ikonia> shade34321: is it possible to do a reboot on the machine ?
[21:19] <shade34321> we have a lab of roughly 40 computers and any user can log on any computer
[21:19] <shade34321> ikonia, right now...no
[21:19] <shade34321> he's running simulations
[21:19] <spaceindaver> ok, sorry
[21:19] <randOmize> Hi there, I just installed an audio card, and then selected it in the audio settings.  I tested it, and it spoke the name of each speaker, so it works.  But it wont make any system beeps, or play audio from videos or mp3s.  Anyone have a fix?
[21:19] <ikonia> shade34321: what I'd like to test (when possible) is a reboot of the machine - log in directly as root and run "mount -a" do you get the error "/home is already mounted"
[21:19] <kaiowas> Right, im off to install.. Thanks for your help everyone.
[21:19] <guntbert> rsainz: sudo -i is "the preferred way"
[21:19] <morri> i  want to create a botbale usb stick, but everytime i try to partition the stick or do just anything to it is says permission denied
[21:19] <ikonia> shade34321: or just do a "mount" and see if home is already mounted
[21:19] <shade34321> would df just work?
[21:20] <Somelauw> Something that bothers me about the standard repository is that most software in it is actually outdated.
[21:20] <toutouille> ola, quelqu'un veut bien me répondre svp ???
[21:20] <ikonia> shade34321: df can trigger an automount, but if that is what you are comfortable with, sure
[21:20] <Alderlane> How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ?   There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' and "there can be only one"..  :)
[21:20] <guntbert> !fr > toutouille
[21:20] <Somelauw> toutouille: try #ubuntu-fr
[21:20] <shade34321> ikonia, it doesn't matter to me. I didn't know it triggered an automount.
[21:21] <toutouille> ah merci, justement je ne sais pas me connecter à internet
[21:21] <rsainz> is posible, but the two methods work
[21:21] <ikonia> shade34321: (it depends if/how you are using auto mapper, I suspect you are not using it at all, however as we don't know at this stage, I'm just using something I know won't trigger it)
[21:22] <shade34321> ikonia, and if it's not mounted do you have any other suggestions? I probably won't be able to test this out today and possible for a week...their computers run 24/7 for simulations
[21:22] <toutouille> je ne sais déjà pas comment j'ai fait pour arriver ici d'ailleurs !
[21:22] <toutouille> je dois configurer quelque chose mais quoi ?
[21:23] <morri> and what does this ,ean?
[21:23] <morri> Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device '/dev/sdb' (use -I to override)
[21:23] <ikonia> shade34321: if it's not mounted, there are many things that can be the problem, eg: something locking /home as it's "in use" would be a common reason (hence the reboot test) or the nfs server not responding within 14 seconds
[21:24] <Natherul> ikonia: that just made me (after a reboot) get stuck in a black screen and its stuck on checking battery state
[21:24] <trever420> !paste
[21:24] <ikonia> Natherul: interesting, that's suggesting to me the current nvidia module isn't compatible with your card
[21:24] <Sebastien> !pastebinit
[21:24] <ikonia> Natherul: boot into fail safe mode and remove the driver line
[21:26] <shade34321> ikonia, I forgot I had another ubuntu machine that is having the same issue. I'm going to see if anybody is using that one right now and if not reboot
[21:26] <shade34321> *it
[21:26] <Alderlane> GUess I need to try another IRC client...  no  one seems to be able to see my questions from THIS one...

[21:28] <ikonia> Guest15502: please stop that
[21:28] <ikonia> Guest15502: you are flooding the channel, and you've already shown us that info
[21:28] <Guest15502> ikonia does this mean a hardware failure
[21:28] <ikonia> Guest15502: please use a pastebin if you need to share information
[21:28] <ikonia> Guest15502: do you understand ?
[21:29] <toutouille> i no understand no english i
[21:29] <ikonia> toutouille: what language ?
[21:29] <toutouille> francais
[21:29] <Natherul> ikonia: im such a nab here, whats the command or whatnot to exit and save file in sudoedit? i usually use gedit
[21:29] <ikonia> !fr | toutouille
[21:30] <Guest15502> Natherul use vi editor, :wq to save and exit
[21:30] <AlderLane> Let's try THIS one...
[21:30] <ikonia> Natherul: you need to launch the editor with root permissions, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:30] <toutouille> merci d'avoir répondu, je vais essayer. Tanks you
[21:31] <Natherul> ikonia: well in recovery mode so gedit is out of the question atm
[21:31] <Somelauw> Natherul: start it by doing: EDITOR=nano sudoedit
[21:31] <Somelauw> Then it should use nano
[21:31] <ikonia> Natherul: you are already root in recovery mode, you should just be able to use nano on the file
[21:31] <Somelauw> Which shows commands at the bottum
[21:31] <ikonia> Natherul: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:31] <AlderLane> How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ?   There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' on the one physical device.   I believe it is -ro because it was created under winXP which I have since DELETED!
[21:32] <marcus_> Do I just jump in to ask a question?
[21:32] <danileigh79> how do I get an autostart.desktop bash file to run as sudo without moving it to /rc.?
[21:32] <AlderLane> If I can get this 'write protection' off the Thumb drive, I'll try creating a rescue 'disk'.
[21:32] <dryicebomb> marcus_: yes
[21:32] <danileigh79> how do I get an autostart.desktop bash file to run as sudo without moving it to /etc/rc.local
[21:33] <shade34321> AlderLane, I'm not sure if this will help but have you tried using gparted with it to reformat it?
[21:33] <shade34321> or is there stuff on it you want?
[21:33] <marcus_> I just did the "pushed" update and now my mouse pointer is all screwed up. Tried logging out, tried restarting, tried total shut down and reboot and nothing fixes it.
[21:34] <marcus_> I "think" I am running Unity as that's what's "out of the box" for 11.10
[21:34] <Natherul> ikonia: well im in again on the regular ubuntu, i guess I wont be able to get gnome-shell currently then? unless i fully ignore the prop drivers?
[21:34] <ablyss> danileigh79, what does the script do?
[21:35] <AlderLane> Shade34321: not installed on this Slack Box..  The problem is on my Ubuntu 'Book which I can not get access to until I have the rescue 'disk'.   I will see if 'gparted' is available for the Slack (12.2) box.
[21:35] <dryicebomb> danileigh79: how are you starting the script? through cron or through startup applications?
[21:35] <Somelauw> Can anyone tell me why this ppa doesn't work https://launchpad.net/~maglione-k/+archive/ppa
[21:35] <CXIV> What is the name of package that contain ubuntu wifi drivers?
[21:35] <ikonia> Natherul: well, some more research will be needed to find out the minimum nvidia module version that supports your card
[21:35] <shade34321> AlderLane, Ok.
[21:35] <ikonia> Somelauw: contact the PPA owner
[21:35] <AlderLane> brb
[21:35] <danileigh79> ablyss: #!/bin/bash sudo modprobe b43
[21:35] <Somelauw> It says  W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/maglione-k/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[21:36] <danileigh79> dryicebomb: #!/bin/bash sudo modprobe b43
[21:36] <ikonia> Somelauw: the PPA maintainer can help you
[21:36] <Natherul> ikonia: well now your way out of what I know what to do :P
[21:36] <lorddelta> ...I have an issue where p7zip is scanning and attempting to archive stuff that I try opening...this was happening before under gnome, disturbingly I thought it'd gone away, switched to kde recently, and it came back. Where would I look (besides /etc/initrc) for configuration files that would, for instance, attempt to open p7zip whenever I inserted and mounted a usb drive?
[21:37] <danileigh79> ablyss: trying to make my wi-fi adapter activate automatically when I boot into ubuntu instead of typing it into terminal everytime I boot the machine
[21:37] <Somelauw> ikonia: Are you this is the fault of the ppa owner? Contacting him does take some time and maybe he won't answer.
[21:37] <ikonia> Natherul: I've not got a ton of time at the moment, but if you look on nvidia.com (look - don't download and install) at the linux drivers they will tell you which cards are supported in the versions
[21:37] <lorddelta> At the moment p7zip is purged from the system, so I get nice little notifications every time I try and mount a drive in kde telling me it can't find it.
[21:37] <ikonia> Somelauw: that is the risk of using a PPA
[21:38] <lorddelta> Anyone have a clue?
[21:38] <Somelauw> I read about the instructions here: https://launchpad.net/~maglione-k/+archive/ppa
[21:38] <ikonia> Somelauw: contact the PPA owner and ask him for help
[21:38] <marcus_> This is the same silence I got on "ask ubuntu" earlier.
[21:39] <yakc> please, help. i need to re-create minimize all normal windows keyboard shortcut. what is the command to do so?
[21:40] <dryicebomb> danileigh79: you can try adding your script to roots crontab, sudo crontab -e , then put "@reboot /home/user/script.sh" also, make sure your script is executable
[21:40] <yakc> i will have to make it custom because the one i have in shortcuts/navigation isn't working.
[21:40] <none> hello
[21:40] <_Marcus> Hi
[21:40] <none> hey
[21:40] <marcus_> anyone know why my mouse pointer is all screwed up and won't change?
[21:40] <_Marcus> !shortcuts | yakc
[21:40] <none> how do i install wine on ubuntu 10.04
[21:41] <danileigh79> dryicebomb: none sudo apt-get wine
[21:41] <none> thanks
[21:41] <noverta> lorddelta: extract .deb of p7zip and see what the shell scripts in it are installing/configuring
[21:41] <danileigh79> none: sudo apt-get install wine
[21:41] <danileigh79> dryicebomb: sorry, um, I haven't been able to move this file anywhere...
[21:41] <Natherul> ikonia: donno what the lowest version for the card is but i know that when looking for drivers on their webpage for linux x64 it wants me to get the 295.20 drivers
[21:42] <danileigh79> dryicebomb: currently the file is designated as ~/.config/autostart.desktop How do I move it?
[21:42] <none> how about wine tricks?
[21:42] <ikonia> Natherul: ok, so you know they are supported in that version, what is the version in ubuntu ?
[21:42] <Somelauw> I'll do a hg checkout. Does anyone know the general difference between "make deb" and "make deb-dep"?
[21:43] <waheed> I have ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop my DVD driver doesn't work..how to solve ths??
[21:43] <_Marcus> none: What do you mean "wine tricks"?
[21:43] <marcus_> all I did was install the "important security updates" and now the pointer is all screwed up.
[21:43] <ikonia> Somelauw: one is the dependencies, one is the application
[21:43] <none> to use LOIC dont you need winetricks?
[21:43] <Natherul> ikonia: how do i check that? i in the additional drivers thingie they dont tell the numers of the drivers right out do they?
[21:43] <Somelauw> ikonia: thanks
[21:43] <lorddelta> noverta: Hmm, I'll try that. Thanks for the tip!
[21:43] <ikonia> Natherul: it should do, dpkg -l | grep nvidia will
[21:44] <_Marcus> none: Is it an exe?
[21:44] <lorddelta> noverta: Though I doubt another package did it, I'm not 100% sure it's p7zip's fault...it is (supposedly) a fairly reputable package.
[21:44] <none> i have no clue
[21:44] <none> is what loic?
[21:44] <_Marcus> none: I think it's loic.exe, so you just need Wine
[21:44] <none> kool beans thanks Marcus
[21:46] <marcus_> come on guys....somebody's got to know something to help me
[21:46] <_Marcus> marcus_: What's the problem you are having?
[21:46] <elijah> I think I have a syntax error, any ideas? I am trying to pipe an audio file on a remote server to play (sox) but keep getting an error. I have an alias made in the ~/.ssh/config file called sc, I use the command "ssh sc" to login all the time but when I try to "ssh sc:/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/fop2/2012-01-18/232_232_9033545247_20120118-133037_1326911420.95959.wav | play" I get "ssh: Could not resolve hostname sc:/var/s
[21:46] <blitz> hey all, is there a channel for rhythmbox ?
[21:46] <marcus_> I did the pushed update and now my mouse pointer is all screwed up.
[21:46] <ikonia> elijah: you can't do that
[21:46] <ikonia> elijah: you need to put the alias in /etc/hosts
[21:46] <_Marcus> marcus_: Intresting. What update button?
[21:47] <marcus_> ubuntu 11.10 the cardboard box looking button
[21:47] <elijah> ikonia: the alias works for scp and ssh without piping, via the config file
[21:47] <Gentoo64> marcus_, were you talking to yourself there? or is there seriously someone else called _Marcus lol
[21:47] <ikonia> elijah: put it in the host file
[21:47] <dryicebomb> danileigh79: have you tried just adding b43 to /etc/modules?
[21:47] <marcus_> two marcus names
[21:47] <_Marcus> Gentoo64: Hello
[21:47] <Natherul> ikonia: ok, its 280.13 in ubuntu
[21:48] <Gentoo64> weird :)
[21:48] <wmorri> Hi, I am wondering how to move a php file in a samba share to my /var/www/ folder using terminal?
[21:48] <elijah> ikonia: then it won't auto log me in though
[21:48] <_Marcus> Gentoo64: I don't know if he owns that nick though, I know I own this one.
[21:48] <marcus_> first reboot it was a line of black dots, now it's a rainbox square
[21:48] <ikonia> elijah: yes it will
[21:48] <ikonia> Natherul: ok, so that's quite a big version jump.
[21:49] <_Marcus> marcus_: I have no idea what your problem is, much less fix it. Sorry. Ask again in the channel, someone else may be able to help.
[21:49] <Gentoo64> marcus_, rainbow square?
[21:49] <Gentoo64> marcus_, what graphics drivers you using
[21:51] <marcus_> raedon drivers
[21:51] <marcus_> 2600 card
[21:52] <Gentoo64> marcus_, i dont know about radeon, are "radeon" the built in drivers?
[21:52] <AlderLane> Shade34321: got 'gparted' installed, even running it as root - it reports "No Devices detected".
[21:52] <ralph> HI ALL A smal question, after updating 12.04, dragging the window border behaviour is changed. now double click and dan klik to release. bug or change. (bad one it it is)
[21:52] <Gentoo64> i think fglrx is the prop one i get confused
[21:52] <serorclas> ciao
[21:52] <serorclas> !list
[21:52] <auronandace> !12.04 | ralph
[21:52] <marcus_> it was the card in my computer....raedon 2600
[21:52] <AlderLane> Shade34321: even specified the device on the gparted cmdline from the 'run' dialog
[21:53] <Gentoo64> marcus_, what do you mean by rainbow square? at the login screen?
[21:53] <marcus_> no. where the mouse pointer is supposed to be is now a rainbow square.
[21:54] <Gentoo64> everything else look ok?
[21:54] <marcus_> yep. everything else is normal
[21:54] <elijah> is there a command to delete chunks of text and/or navigate? You know like holding down ctrl + left arrow will jump words
[21:54] <Gentoo64> marcus_, can you post a screenshot?
[21:54] <DarsVaeda> how do you set power settings in ubuntu 11.10 (unity)?
[21:54] <shade34321> AlderLane, sorry wasn't paying attention, that's weird
[21:55] <DarsVaeda> I can not even set cpu frequency
[21:55] <marcus_> post where?
[21:55] <klync> i hit bug 488696 (automount complains of syntax error in nnswitch), which sounds like it should be fixed / fixable, but it apparently is not. anyone know how to workaround this
[21:55] <shade34321> AlderLane, if it was formatted with WinXP last then it should be FAT 32, I think, which GParted can see and read
[21:55] <unixbeard> How do I auto-hide the top and bottom bars (non-unity?) in Ubuntu 11.10?
[21:55] <elijah> ikonia: I just add -v to my command and it is getting as far as accepting my public key, I did at the ip to the hosts file and got same errors btw
[21:55] <DarsVaeda> why is anything just more complicated since unity -.-
[21:55] <shade34321> AlderLane, what does fdisk -l show?
[21:55] <auronandace> marcus_: imagebin.org
[21:55] <DarsVaeda> and why does pure debian not work on my laptop :(
[21:56] <angel282> Hello, I've purchase not long ago a virtual dedicated server installed with centos (I not like centos :( ) and I wonder does it possible to override the operating system from centos to ubuntu over ssh?
[21:56] <Gentoo64> marcus_, i have to go for a bit
[21:56] <marcus_> now it just got really weird...the mouse like normal in the screenshot...
[21:56] <auronandace> !screenshot | marcus_
[21:57] <AlderLane> Shade34321: I believe i may have password protected the thumb under Xp, so I may be dealing with that as a prob as well.  That is why I was hopeing to just do a LLF on the 'device' and be done with it..  hang on..  I'll run cfdisk again and let you know
[21:57] <auronandace> marcus_: are you trying to use custom cursors?
[21:57] <marcus_> no
[21:57] <marcus_> just regular.....
[21:57] <elijah> ikonia: here is my command with -v - http://paste.ubuntu.com/843633/
[21:57] <unixbeard> Hmm is it possible to downgrade from 11.10 to whatever I had previously?  I've really had problems with unity and compiz, and I'm trying to get these top and bottom bars to auto hide.  :\
[21:58] <auronandace> !downgrade | unixbeard
[21:58] <tumppu> remove unity and install gnome2/gnome-shell?
[21:58] <trism> elijah: try cat in the ssh command or something, otherwise it seems like you are trying to execute the .wav
[21:58] <auronandace> !gnome2 | tumppu
[21:58] <ikonia> elijah: did you put the alias in the host file
[21:59] <ikonia> elijah: why are you using ssh to move a file
[21:59] <elijah> trism: I just want to pipe it to my local machine so I can play it back, ikonia: yes, I did
[21:59] <trism> elijah: yes but ssh isn't going to do that just giving it the file
[21:59] <unixbeard> What's an alternative?
[21:59] <unixbeard> !notunity
[21:59] <marcus_> I did try to follow some instructions about compiz, but that didn't help
[21:59] <trism> elijah: ssh sc cat /path/to/file
[21:59] <unixbeard> oic
[21:59] <auronandace> unixbeard: xfce is my favourite
[21:59] <unixbeard> neat!
[21:59] <AlderLane> Shade34321: 'cfdisk' would not access, but 'fdisk' is reading it..  going to see if I can delete parts.
[22:00] <unixbeard> I'm installing gnome-shell now.
[22:00] <shade34321> AlderLane, sweet!
[22:00] <elijah> trism: K, it is getting farther now. But now the command just finishes by opening sox and then finishing with no errors
[22:01] <marcus_> why would it look one way on the screen and normal on the screenshot?
[22:01] <elijah> trism: nvm
[22:01] <elijah> trism, ikonia it is play -
[22:01] <unixbeard> Hmm, so I have gnome-shell, gnome-tweak-tool, and gnome-panel installed.  Do I just reboot and hope for the best?  I did apt-get remove unity...
[22:01] <RedXIII> Hey, I'm having a problem with my partition numbering
[22:01] <RedXIII> I have 1 disk. That disk has 1 partition. But that partition mounts to /dev/sda2
[22:01] <RedXIII> instead of /dev/sda1
[22:01] <tumppu> i think you don't need gnome-panel
[22:01] <elijah> trism, ikonia - it is working now!! It works without the host file mod too!
[22:02] <marcus_> I did try adding gnome-tweak-tool, but I never could figure out how to run it.
[22:02] <RedXIII> How do you change the number of a partition table?
[22:02] <tumppu> unixbeard and you have'n't to reboot
[22:02] <unixbeard> I haven't rebooted yet.
[22:02] <unixbeard> Do I just log out and log back in?
[22:02] <tumppu> log off and then while loggin choose gnome as window manager instead of unity
[22:02] <elijah> trism & ikonia: Do you think it is possible to play the file on my local computer while logged into the ssh session remotely? Would be much easier than copying the path and doing all that.
[22:02] <unixbeard> Okay.  BRB!
[22:03] <RedXIII> sfdisk -d says that there are 4 partitions on the table
[22:03] <RedXIII> 3 with size=0, but 1 with all the data on it
[22:03] <none> how do i setup the VPN
[22:03] <none> ?
[22:03] <RedXIII> how do I change the partition table so that there's only 1
[22:04] <klync> RedXIII: backup the data and repartition, or live with it
[22:04] <AlderLane> Shade34321: 'fdisk' reports "Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)" when opening /dev/sr3  (yes.. it is NOW /sr3)
[22:04] <Abe> hello all, I am having some technical problems with my aircrack prog
[22:04] <_John> none: What do you mean exactly?
[22:04] <RedXIII> klync: but ubuntu thinks that it is /dev/sda1 when mounting
[22:04] <AlderLane> Shade34321: going to try and repair/delete the part
[22:04] <RedXIII> but other tools say its /dev/sda2
[22:04] <RedXIII> (on the table)
[22:04] <marcus_> asking again.....My mouse pointer is showing as a rainbox square, but when I take a screen shot, it looks normal in the picture.
[22:04] <RedXIII> doesn't that cause issues or incompatibilities?
[22:04] <BrandonBolton> RedXIII, You could always play around with gparted after backuping up your data of course.
[22:04] <none> theres a option to configure the vpn
[22:05] <_John> marcus_: What is a "rainbox sqaure"?
[22:05] <klync> RedXIII: have you altered the partition table since last reboot?
[22:05] <_John> marcus_: Is that a rainbow?
[22:05] <marcus_> a square that is rainbow colors
[22:05] <_John> marcus_: Can you take a screenshot and upload it somewhere for us to see?
[22:05] <RedXIII> klync: No
[22:05] <marcus_> the screen shot looks normal
[22:05] <z3r0n0id> how do i view the loaded drivers
[22:05] <klync> RedXIII: then can you pastebin the output of `sfdisk -l`?
[22:06] <RedXIII> BrandonBolton: gparted doesn't even want to look at it. It says the data partition is sda2, but its really sda1
[22:06] <shade34321> AlderLane, ok. Unfortunately I have to get ready to go. I will be in and out from the computer as I get ready. So I will respond when I see a message from you hopefully somebody else will be able to help you
[22:06] <RedXIII> so it fails all calls for renaming/moving/resizing
[22:06] <AlderLane> Shade34321: write of table to repair the above, failed..  "Unable to write /dev/sr3"
[22:06] <Abe> as soon as someone is free to help on the aircrack-ng utility, please let me know
[22:06] <z3r0n0id> how do i view the loaded drivers
[22:06] <AlderLane> Shade34321: OK..  Thanks for the ear...
[22:06] <auronandace> RedXIII: ubuntu uses uuid by default so the dev name doesn't really matter to ubuntu
[22:06] <AlderLane> Shade34321: at least I got rid of the secondary partition...  Only one to go  :)  Thanks
[22:06] <RedXIII> auronandace: Then why does gparted fail to recognize the partition?
[22:07] <_John> marcus_: I forgot, it makes your cursor vanish when taking it. Do you have a camera or a camera phone to take a picture of your screen?
[22:07] <auronandace> RedXIII: no idea
[22:07] <nopf> _John: i'd like to see a picture of the camera
[22:08] <dryicebomb> Alderlane: is this a sandisk thumb drive?
[22:08] <AlderLane> All: Here was my original question...    "How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ?   There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' and "there can be only one"..  :)"
[22:08] <auronandace> RedXIII: i'm just saying if you were using device names rather than uuid then ubuntu wouldn't boot when the device names change
[22:08] <shade34321> AlderLane, Woot!
[22:08] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: it is a Memorex TravelDrive...
[22:08] <_John> nopf: My interests in the looks of the camera shall remain private.
[22:09] <auronandace> AlderLane: isn't sr an optical drive?
[22:09] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: it was originally formatted with the data storage partition, and a seperate one for the 'launch' utility..
[22:10] <dryicebomb> Alderlane: is this 'launch' utility U3 by anychance?
[22:10] <wmorri> Hi, wondering what permision I need to make a folder be able to be written too by apache?
[22:10] <AlderLane> auronandace: I believe so, but according to 'dmesg' nad the popup when inserted, that is the device it is being assigned
[22:10] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: correct...
[22:10] <hatop> wmorri: that depends on the ownership of the folder
[22:10] <nassim> naim
[22:10] <nassim> hello
[22:11] <wmorri> hatop: I will look up the folder permissions
[22:11] <dryicebomb> Alderlane: bummer, the srX partition can only be removed from a windows machine with a u3 software removal program that you can get from sandisk and memorexs site
[22:11] <elijah> Is there a way to play an audio file to a local machine via an ssh session?
[22:11] <elijah> Can I pipe an audio file to my local machine while in a ssh session?
[22:12] <hatop> elijah: i suppose you could by doing xforwarding and then opening the program on the remote machine.
[22:12] <klync> elijah: maybe if you use a fifo as a buffer
[22:12] <wmorri> the permission for the folder are drwxr-xr-x
[22:12] <hatop> elijah: that would most likely just dump the raw data into a file.
[22:12] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: alright...  I'm going into town in several hours, I'll download that utility and see if I can find a Winbox in town to remove this thing.
[22:12] <wagnor> help, I use ctrl+alt+f1, because of 'video mode not supported' how can I reset Xwindows from console ? will I see the change after ctrl+alt+f7? or do I have to reboot ubuntu?
[22:12] <elijah> hatop: K, do you know how to do it?
[22:12] <hatop> wmorri: you should use 775 as the ownership, BUT it also depends on the group that owns the folder
[22:13] <hatop> hatop: not off the top of my head, but you can google ssh xforwarding
[22:13] <dryicebomb> alderlane: http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm
[22:13] <wmorri> hatop, it is set to nobody nogroup, currently. This is a config folder for a php mumble admin util.
[22:13] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: perhaps the partition still has the removel utility on it and it will access when inserted into a win box.   Plus I'll get the app youi just noted..  Thanks..
[22:14] <elijah> hatop: I can do it the opposite way, by "ssh user@host "cat /path/to/file/music.wav" | play -" but that is a pita if you are already in an ssh session
[22:14] <hatop> wmorri: what group is apache configured to run as in httpd.conf?
[22:14] <marcus_> hold on...I'm getting it up on photobucket
[22:14] <_John> marcus_: If you want it fast just do www.imgur.com
[22:14] <hatop> elijah: you could always just do key based auth so you don't have to enter a password
[22:15] <marcus_> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/cmdrlanc/CameraPictures.jpg
[22:15] <_John> marcus_: I've never seen this happen before.
[22:15] <wmorri> hatop, let me look it up.
[22:15] <_John> marcus_: What graphics card do you have?
[22:15] <elijah> hatop: Yeah, that is what I am doing, but I mean I still have to copy the absolute path of the file and then open a new terminal and make up that command
[22:15] <marcus_> raedon 2600
[22:15] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: all this just to deal with this (following) problem...
[22:15] <_John> marcus_: Do you have the proper drivers for it installed on Ubuntu?
[22:16] <AlderLane> Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook...   Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version.  Natty wasx installed using the FULL disk space, so there is no way to boot into another partition to perform the disk fixes.   Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1:  Partition ends in the final partial cylinder"   -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also
[22:16] <AlderLane> 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted.      Any way to save this ?
[22:16] <hatop> elijah: you could always write a script for this and just feed the file name as an option
[22:16] <marcus_> I did an hour ago before the "update"
[22:16] <elijah> hatop: it would be nice while in the ssh session to do "play music.wav | localmachine" or something like that
[22:16] <_John> marcus_: Update of what?
[22:16] <_John> marcus_: The drivers?
[22:16] <marcus_> ubuntu pushed an "important security update"
[22:16] <hatop> elijag: you can make it that easy through clever use of shell scripts
[22:16] <hatop> err elijah
[22:17] <elijah> hatop: Okay, good to know, I will have to play with that someday, but I take it that there is no way to do this out of the box, right?
[22:17] <_John> marcus_: Intresting. I wonder if there is a problem between the security updates and the drivers. Is there any new driver updates available?
[22:17] <marcus_> I don't know.
[22:17] <hatop> elijah: not specifically, but all the tools for each part exist.
[22:17] <hatop> also
[22:18] <hatop> you could try using a vlc network player
[22:19] <elijah> hatop: Good idea, thanks
[22:20] <wmorri> hatop, the permissions for apache2.conf are -rw-r--r--
[22:20] <marcus_> amd site says I have the latest driver
[22:20] <dryicebomb> alderlane: yuck, i don't suppose you know someone who could borrow you a usb cd-drive
[22:20] <hatop> wmorri: not exactly what I was asking
[22:21] <_John> marcus_: Is there any Ubuntu updates available?
[22:21] <hatop> wmorri: To determine if the apache process can access the folder you need to do two things
[22:21] <marcus_> I just ran those an hour ago.
[22:21] <hatop> wmorri: 1. ensure that the user and group ownerships are correct for those assigned to the apache process
[22:21] <hatop> wmorri: 2. ensure that you have allowed group rwx access to the folder
[22:21] <_John> marcus_: Go into terminal and type "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" to update if there is anymore. Just do it to check.
[22:22] <wmorri> hatop, okay I will work on that and see what I come up with. Thank You!
[22:22] <marcus_> ok, did that, now what?
[22:23] <_John> marcus_: Restart your system. See if the cursor is back to normal.
[22:23] <marcus_> ok.
[22:23] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: Actually I have a 500gb external USB here, but it is my "Archive" drive and I don't want to take a chance on damaging it and loosing access to all my archives...  I would have to install a bootsector on it as it is now just a flat storage drive, and that makes me somewhat nervous..
[22:25] <AlderLane> DryIceBomb: once I get the thumb drive straightened out, and get the rescue-boot process finished so I can access the Netbook, I'll be hooking up the 500gb drive to the Netbook and backing up everything, then wiping the NB drive and reinstalling a fresh NEW version of Ubuntu..
[22:26] <marcus> _john : no it didn't fix it.
[22:26] <dryicebomb> alderlane: thats probably the best route
[22:26] <AlderLane> Think I'll stay away from the NETBOOK version of Ubuntu THIS time..
[22:26] <_John> marcus: Well I have no idea. Sorry
[22:26] <AlderLane> I had nothing but problems with that...
[22:27]  * AlderLane is off to find an (Ugh!) Windows computer to remove the Thumb partition...   IBBL
[22:28]  * _John >windows
[22:28] <marcus> Anyone else want to take a run at it? I ran the updates and now my cursor is all screwed up.
[22:29] <hatop> marcus: i don't know if you're using the compositing desktop or not
[22:29] <hatop> marcus: mostly since I came in late into the conversation
[22:29] <marcus> I am using whatever desktop ships with 11.10 ubuntu...I think it's called unity?
[22:29] <hatop> have you tried using the unity 2d interface
[22:31] <marcus> I have not tried anything other than what 11.10 comes with
[22:31] <hatop> marcus: Try out the unity 2d interface and see if that fixes it.
[22:31] <marcus> how?
[22:31] <hatop> Logout out of your session and change the manager
[22:31] <marcus> how?
[22:31] <hatop> its an option during the login screen
[22:31] <marcus> not on mine
[22:32] <hatop> its there by default in ubuntu
[22:32] <Firebolt> marcus, its the gear icon
[22:32] <marcus> ok
[22:32] <hatop> thanks firebolt
[22:32] <Firebolt> np
[22:32] <hatop> i haven't had to switch in a long time
[22:35] <marcus> it's screwed up in all desktop options and even before I log in.
[22:35] <hatop> and you've rebooted at least once i take it
[22:35] <hatop> what videocard are you using
[22:35] <marcus> yes, 4 times now
[22:35] <computerx> Hi, I want to install to a usb device, plug it into my Mac and use it as the primary OS via usb. Is this possible? Do you have any suggestions or pitfalls?
[22:35] <marcus> raedon 2600 with latest driver
[22:35] <hatop> hmmmm
[22:35] <hatop> 12.1 driver?
[22:35] <marcus> yep
[22:36] <marcus> it was fine before I ran the "update"
[22:36] <hatop> can you revert to an older driver?
[22:36] <marcus> dunno....I guess I could if someone told me how
[22:38] <marcus> how do I revert a driver?
[22:38] <hatop> marcus: i'm busy googling for that answer
[22:39] <marcus> I see. :)
[22:39] <hatop> i only use nvidia products at the moment
[22:39] <marcus> nvidia is the one that hates mint isn't it?
[22:39] <hatop> i dunno
[22:39] <hatop> i don't use mint
[22:40] <djathoris> marcus, do you still have the original driver you want to revert to?
[22:40] <marcus> I don't think so. I was using the default generic driver and it wasn't working right
[22:41] <hatop> I'm surprised the 12.1 was installed
[22:41] <hatop> the amd site doesn't even list it as the latest yet
[22:41] <hatop> http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English
[22:41] <djathoris> why do you wan to revert to it if it wasn't working right?
[22:41] <mimmo> ciao
[22:41] <kostasz> can somebody help me with fixing fstab?
[22:41] <hatop> the freeware version is sometimes funky
[22:42] <hatop> if he was using the radeon xorg driver
[22:42] <hatop> however, the link provides a download with instructions for installing that version. it SHOULD uninstall the 12.1 drivers
[22:42] <gp5st1> hello, i noticed that the old nessus-plugins package has plugins not in the new openvas plugin. why? any way to get the additional plugins?
[22:42] <marcus> I have whatever the amd site shows
[22:43] <djathoris> kostasz- in what way is your fstab broken?
[22:43] <marcus> I want to revert because my mouse pointer is all screwed up after an ubuntu update
[22:43] <mimmo> cia
[22:44] <hatop> you said you had the 12.1 driver
[22:44] <hatop> i linked the 11.11 driver
[22:44] <marcus> I guess I was wrong.
[22:45] <marcus> 11.11 is what I have looking at that website
[22:46] <djathoris> marcus- installing the 12.1 driver on a 11.11 system might cause a problem or two
[22:46] <hatop> marcus: I'm not really sure, I would try reinstalling your driver. After that, I can't really help much
[22:46] <kostasz> I installed xubuntu 11.10 on one drive divided into 3 partitions: one for windows7, one for data and one for linux. However, I couldn't set my data partition to be NTFS so it could be seen by both systems. After installing Xubuntu I changed it using GParted to NTFS and after that it is no a problem while Xubuntu is booting
[22:46] <marcus> I don't have 12.1 yet
[22:46] <pooky> Has anyone seen an issue in nfs where after mounting, world perms are ignored?
[22:47] <pooky> specifically denied, even if world perms are rw
[22:47] <hatop> kostasz: make sure your fstab is updated to reflect the change in format
[22:47] <hatop> pooky: sorry, I don't really use nfs much.
[22:47] <Ariel88> Hi. I have a basic problem. I forgot the password, but # passwd says my account doesnt exist; and if i leave it, the unix password doesnt let me write anything.
[22:47] <marcus> how do I reinstall the driver? I still have the file for 11.11
[22:47] <kostasz> so how can i update fstab? Should i do it manually?
[22:47] <Ariel88> Any help please.
[22:48] <hatop> kostasz: first I'd check it, then you can manually edit if necessary
[22:48] <ejv> !patience | Ariel88
[22:48] <djathoris> Ariel88- are you sure the account exists?
[22:48] <Ariel88> I added that just for the "please" because of fearing it would sound unpolite. Sorry.
[22:48] <hatop> ariel88: I'm not entirely sure what your question is asking.
[22:49] <djathoris> Ariel88- you should add the account using "adduser" before you try to use "paaswd" to set the password
[22:49] <kostasz> i tried that by setting UUID=something /media/DATA defaults 0 0 but it granted me just read-only acess
[22:50] <Ariel88> djathoris: Oh, thanks. Didnt know.
[22:50] <ejv> Ariel88: If you've actually lost access to your system, you'll need to grab a livecd and perform a 'passwd' of your user under a chroot. FYI.
[22:50] <mustafaerhann> well ariel88 did u try control center user management ?
[22:50] <OerHeks> huh djathoris ?? Ariel88  the password reset, should work, if you have your accountname right
[22:50] <djathoris> kostasz- you need to set the partition type to ntfs-3g if you want r/w access
[22:51] <OerHeks> djathoris, new account will not have sudo priv
[22:51] <hatop> you have to add them to the sudoers list
[22:51] <mustafaerhann> kostasz also u may need to force option in ntfs-3g  to mount unclean drives if ntfs-3g notifies u.
[22:51] <djathoris> OerHeks- Ariel88 reported that passwd thought the old account didn't exist
 - I tried that too but it seems that ntfs-3g is somehow unsupported
[22:52] <OerHeks> hatop that would be the solution, indeed.
[22:52] <mustafaerhann> did u install ntfs-3g packages ?
[22:52] <kostasz> uups
[22:52] <Ariel88> Im a little confuse. So, what should i do?
[22:52] <kostasz> how should i do that (ntfs-3g)?
[22:52] <hatop> kostasz: using apt-cache search
[22:52] <kostasz> by synaptic?
[22:53] <hatop> and then apt-get install
[22:53] <hatop> or synaptic
[22:53] <hatop> or the ubuntu software center(I suppose).
[22:53] <mustafaerhann> kostasz mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/external/ -o force
[22:53] <Ariel88> djathoris - allright. Thanks everybody!
[22:53] <mustafaerhann> /dev/sdc1 must be your device file. /mnt/external must be your mount point.
[22:53] <kostasz> i see
[22:54] <kostasz> i will try to install ntfs-3g packages and see if it helped
[22:54] <kostasz> thank you all, hope not to see you today :)
[22:56] <mustafaerhann> have a luck kostasz
[22:56] <_Ethan_> has someone here used After Effects from adobe?
[22:56] <kostasz> thanks, see ya
[22:58] <capivara> testing...
[22:58] <DMASS> I have used After Effects
[22:58] <DMASS> since version 6
[22:59] <hatop> ok?
[22:59] <Redjack1964_>  " love this song for... not working :D "   <-- this sentence is correct for you?
[23:00] <Nastya> Hi htere!
[23:00] <mustafaerhann> hi there!
[23:01] <Guest8642> how can I run a setup program as root from a CD?
[23:01] <Guest8642> I've tried something like    wine /dev/sr0/CANON_IJ/setup/myProgram.exe  but I can't run anything
[23:02] <|Justm3|> How do I get rid of a ghost folder in /media? I can't umount it, or mount it. Do I just do a sudo del to it, or is there some other way?
[23:02] <djathoris> wine isn;t completely dependable for running things
[23:02] <mustafaerhann> guest8642 why u trying to run a setup program
[23:02] <mustafaerhann> what u need exactly ?
[23:03] <mustafaerhann> to install a driver linux does this automated with kernel. or u may look for properiatary drivers from restricted software in control center.
[23:03] <DinoMuffin> |Justm3|: what is the folder for?
[23:03] <mustafaerhann> wine mostly used to play windows games under linux. and out of topic in this channel. also u have to install it before use.
[23:04] <DinoMuffin> |Justm3|: /media/ is the area for automated mountpoints
[23:06] <Woodie8Potatoes> hello there, i'm trying to install some software from the installation cdrom, but the thing just doesn't work, i've ran "apt-cdrom add", it worked then i checked "/media/apt" and the cdrom is mounted, also it wrote the thing on /etc/apt/sources.list, but when i run apt-get it says "file not found".
[23:07] <DinoMuffin> Woodie8Potatoes: software for what?
[23:07] <wagnor> help, my graphic card is damaged, and I try to launch X-windows systems using vesa drivers. But after I copied xorg.conf.failsafe onto xorg.conf I get "video mode not supported" message. Any help?
[23:07] <mustafaerhann> u can use internet for installing them. :))
[23:07] <Woodie8Potatoes> DinoMuffin: xserver
[23:07] <Woodie8Potatoes> nope, i can't use internet on that machine
[23:07] <mustafaerhann> hms.
[23:07] <Guest8642> I need to setup a router  and printer that I have bought, and I need to use the CD
[23:07] <___marsh_> hello i'm having problem with HDMI splitter and ubuntu 11.10. can anyone help
[23:08] <djathoris> wagnor- if your card is damaged, maybe it no longer supports the vesa video modes?
[23:08] <Woodie8Potatoes> any tutorial on how to install packages from the installation cd after installing only the base system?
[23:08] <mustafaerhann> guest8642 first test that your printer working on your linux. try to print some pages.
[23:08] <wagnor> djathoris: I don't know whether it does or not, trying to find out. Windows xp equivalent (vga.dll) does work.
[23:08] <DinoMuffin> Woodie8Potatoes: have you tried a apt-get update?
[23:08] <Woodie8Potatoes> DinoMuffin: yep.
[23:09] <DinoMuffin> hm
[23:09] <Guest8642> linux sees the printer, and tries to install the printer but doesn't have the proper Driver
[23:09] <Woodie8Potatoes> DinoMuffin: and it works.
[23:10]  * tommylommykins waves
[23:10] <tommylommykins> How can I make sound not turn off when I switch user?
[23:10] <djathoris> wagnor- not all video cards support vesa modes even when they are working right. Maybe you could try the driver for your particular card?
[23:10] <DinoMuffin> Woodie8Potatoes: what is the name of the package you're putting into apt-get install?
[23:10] <mustafaerhann> model name of printer ?
[23:11] <Woodie8Potatoes> DinoMuffin: xinit with --no-install-recommends
[23:11] <DinoMuffin> that doesn't sound right
[23:12] <Woodie8Potatoes> DinoMuffin: any package just won't install
[23:12] <mustafaerhann> guest8642 what is your printer name
[23:12] <mustafaerhann> and model plz
[23:12] <Guest8642> canon
[23:12] <DinoMuffin> well
[23:12] <grkblood> damn, im diggin xubuntu
[23:12] <DinoMuffin> Woodie8Potatoes: is there a deb package on the CD?
[23:13] <mustafaerhann> guest8642 model?
[23:13] <grendal-prime> anyone using pen for load balancing
[23:14] <wagnor_> djathoris: sorry, did you by any chance answer me? my internet is unstable and I can't help it.
[23:14] <grendal-prime> I got this issue where i need match the real ip with a vpn ip after the machine has gone through a pen load balancer
[23:14] <Woodie8Potatoes> DinoMuffin: yes, all the debs are on subfolder of /pool/
[23:14] <djathoris> wagnor_ - I was only suggesting rhat instead of depending on the vesa driver, you might try the particular driver for your card
[23:15]  * tommylommykins reasks
[23:15] <tommylommykins> How can I make sound not turn off when I switch user? :)
[23:15] <wagnor_> djathoris: that won't work because of graphic card damage. When I run windows xp on standard nvidia drivers it crashes very quickly - ubuntu doesn't even start on standard drivers.
[23:15] <Woodie8Potatoes> DinoMuffin: it's the default alternate cdrom (10.04).
[23:16] <___marsh_> hello i'm having problem with HDMI splitter on ubuntu, the problem is nvidia driver won't recognize monitor over it so i can't have picture on it, dispar also don't recognize it. my setup is nvidia 450 gts with 2 monitors connected. the DVI one work HDMI one don't
[23:16] <DinoMuffin> Woodie8Potatoes:
[23:16] <djathoris> wagnor_ - that sounds like a hardware problem which the vesa drivers won't be able to fix
[23:16] <DinoMuffin> Woodie8Potatoes: ok, well the package that you need should be called xserver-xorg
[23:17] <wagnor_> djathoris: I hoped that maybe vesa drivers can do what vga.dll can do. Afaik vga.dll sets up graphic card so that most/all the processing is done on cpu, and graphic card just passes it to monitor.
[23:17] <djathoris> tommylommykins - what happens if you keep the original user open and just add a second user window?
[23:18] <wagnor_> maybe there's some other equivalent of vga.dll that I don't know of?
[23:18] <djathoris> wagnor_ - what resolution is vga.dll displaying at?
[23:19] <wagnor_> djathoris: Many resolutions work under it - to my surprise even 1024x768 with 24depth
[23:20] <djathoris> wagnor_ - that's strange why the xorg vesa driver won't start
[23:20] <wagnor_> djathoris: seems to me it does start - I can hear the "logging in" sound, it just can't pass the data to monitor "video mode not supported"
[23:20] <Somelauw> Does anyone know the command to change wallpaper? I tried gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$wallpaper"?
[23:21] <wagnor_> I assume that if vesa drivers would not start the whole linux booting would stop
[23:21] <djathoris> wagnor_ - ohh, that might just be a problem with the monitor refresh rate
[23:21] <wagnor_> even before graph. card was damaged I had "no video mode supported" on grub, after update, but when I (by memory) selected ubuntu on grub it launched okay, so maybe its a hint
[23:22] <OccupynMyChair> quick dumb question, my acct is in the admin group and can sudo, i can ssh into my ubuntu 10 box using my account, i can start the x11vnc server, i can connection to the x1vnc session, but when i try to login in in the GUI it says authentication failure (using the same credentials i just connected with in SSH)
[23:22] <manguito> chale
[23:22] <manguito> que es esto?
[23:23] <djathoris> wagnor_ - perhaps if you try setting the resolution to something safe like 800 x 600 with a refresh rate of 60hz?
[23:23] <DinoMuffin> !es | manguito
[23:23] <manguito> thankyou
[23:23] <Jeruvy> OccupynMyChair, are you connecting straight into vnc or using a ssh tunnel?
[23:23] <OccupynMyChair> tunnel
[23:24] <OccupynMyChair> it shows my username on the login screen too, lol.....
[23:24] <wagnor_> djathoris: I'll try, thanks for suggestion, brb
[23:24] <CiDhed> Can someone give me a quick explanation?
[23:24] <grendal-prime> i need to query apt to get a list of updates and their urgency...any advice?
[23:24] <CiDhed> Regarding the asound file.
[23:25] <Jeruvy> OccupynMyChair, sounds like a problem with the certs.  its been a while since I worked through that process
[23:25] <djathoris> CiDhed - it configures the alsa sound drivers
[23:25] <OccupynMyChair> Jeruvy thanks, i've been trying google but comin up short
[23:26] <djathoris> or maybe not, I could be wrong
[23:26] <CiDhed> My issue is: I am trying to get DTS passthrough on XBMC working with my gt520 card.
[23:26] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: Still around?? Finally solved that pesky "sudo modprobe b43" problem?
[23:26] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: Still around?? Finally solved that pesky "sudo modprobe b43" problem!
[23:26] <Jordan_U> wagnor_: It sounds like grub and Xorg are both choosing a video mode which your monitor can't support (which probably means that your monitor is presenting incorrect EDID info). Configuring a smaller resolution might solve the problem.
[23:26] <CiDhed> I had it working on my ATI onboard hdmi but no other sound was working. So I bought the GT520 in hopes of getting away from driver issues.
[23:26] <djathoris> CiDhed - does "alsamixer" see a control for that?
[23:27] <CiDhed> I can play sound to all 5 channels.
[23:27] <Jordan_U> wagnor_: Do you see BIOS output on the screen before grub?
[23:27] <danileigh79> llutz: Still around?? Finally solved that pesky "sudo modprobe b43" problem!
[23:27] <CiDhed> Well, 6 including sub.
[23:27] <danileigh79> llutz: didn't even need to creat a bash script...
[23:27] <wagnor_> Jordan_U: yes I do.
[23:27] <Jeruvy> OccupynMyChair, maybe this will assist: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640815
[23:27] <djathoris> CiDhed - but still no dts passthrough?
[23:28] <CiDhed> Correct, I have even set hw:0,3 in a custom setting on xbmc
[23:28]  * OccupynMyChair reads
[23:28] <wagnor_> Jordan_U: I'm trying to hardcode resolution into xorg.conf thanks for hint
[23:28] <mustafaerhann> danileigh79 hey im here still. did u make it ?
[23:28] <danutz> Hello, could someone please tell me how the hell do I play .wmv video files in ubuntu?I tried many ..like vlc,gnome....etc but only audio works, I cannot see the video...can someone please help?
[23:28] <javierf_> hi! one question about wine. Can't I install 64bits applications?
[23:29] <chiggins> Quick question, trying do "mount" a grub floppy img to /dev/loop0. Ran 'losetup /dev/loop0 floppy.img", now trying to "mount /dev/loop0 /mnt" but I'm getting a message saying I must specify the filesystem type, though I don't know what i'd put. Any advice?
[23:29] <djathoris> CiDhed - which input jack on your soundcard does the dts sound cable run into?
[23:29] <mustafaerhann> danileigh79 grats how did u solve ?
[23:29] <CiDhed> I don't have a soundcard. I have a gt520 video card. I am using HDMI directly to my receiver.
[23:30] <Jordan_U> wagnor_: You're welcome. You can set grub's resoltion with GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub.
[23:30] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: with "sudo gedit /etc/modules" then added the line "b43" to it and saved, did a reboot and wifi adapter activated automatically
[23:30] <Jordan_U> chiggins: What grub floppy is this?
[23:30] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: it's nice to figure things out, I feel accomplished now lol :P
[23:31] <Jeruvy> danutz http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:31] <danutz> done that already
[23:31] <djathoris> CiDhed - with no soundcard, there would be nothing for asound to control
[23:31] <chiggins> Jordan_U: I'm trying to do some os dev'ing. if I run "dd if=floppy.img | file -" I get "x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, code offset 0x48"
[23:31] <OerHeks> danutz, use moonlight, i guess tour wmv uses DRM, if moonlight does not work, good luch
[23:31] <danutz> still does not display video..only sound
[23:32] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: and now, if anyone else has the same problem, I know what to do to solve it, yay me! lol
[23:32] <xibalba> i've done the tasksel install lamp-server, a2enmod php5, restarted apache and it's still downloading the .php files
[23:32] <CiDhed> djathoris, Not sure you understand. There is built in sound in a hdmi video card.
[23:32] <xibalba> hey everyone, could anyone give me a hand with a php issue i'm having? it appears my php files are downloading rather than executing
[23:32] <CiDhed> card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
[23:32] <CiDhed> Is what returns from aplay -l
[23:33] <Jordan_U> chiggins: What is this floppy image though? Did you find a floppy disk on the street and decide to figure out what it is?
[23:33] <Somelauw> Does anyone know the command to change wallpaper? I tried gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$wallpaper"?
[23:33] <CiDhed> I have sound everywhere else but on movies with DTS.
[23:33] <djathoris> CiDhed - maybe that's "piracy" prevention?
[23:33] <cfhowlett> Somelauw: see Desktop Drapes in the software center
[23:33] <xibalba> this is a particularly troubling issues because i just putup another ubuntu box on vmware and did the same commands and php is running fine on the new ubuntu vmware server
[23:33] <mustafaerhann> danileigh79 when i was using mandrake 10.0 i have solved my nvidia driver problems as this. lol i remembered now.
[23:34] <chiggins> Jordan_U: No, it's just like a copy of GRUB. If I was to copy this image contents though onto a usb or something It'd boot GRUB
[23:34] <mustafaerhann> mod probe files.
[23:34] <CiDhed> djathoris, Nah, It worked on the ATI card but broke other sound. To get it to work I had to remove pulseaudio. I shouldn't have to do that with Nvidia cards from my understanding.
[23:34] <Jordan_U> chiggins: What are you trying to accomplish?
[23:34] <CiDhed> There is no piracy prevention on these files
[23:34] <Somelauw> cfhowlett: The default command should just work, I think
[23:35] <chiggins> Jordan_U: http://jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/1.-Environment%20setup.html Reference section 1.3
[23:35] <xibalba> whenever someone has a moment to help me out with php, if you could ping me i'd appreciate it. thank you
[23:35] <djathoris> CiDhed - do you have room in your pc for a separate sound card?
[23:36] <danutz> jesus..still can't find a way to play .wmv files, any solution?it must be
[23:36] <CiDhed> djathoris, Sure but that won't work. I will have to switch to dvi-d video and optical and that goes against the idea of a media center.
[23:36] <Jordan_U> chiggins: I can't access a browser at the moment. Can you summarize?
[23:37] <CiDhed> It isn't logical to bandaid the issue when it is supposed to work correctly.
[23:37] <djathoris> CiDhed - ok, it was just a thought. but linux drivers don't always support the hardware perfectly
[23:38] <chiggins> Jordan_U: Using a tutorial for creating my own UNIX based operating system, currently using Ubuntu to write the code and compile and such. I'm basically going to be running this in a virtual machine (bochs), but in order to boot the kernel I need to run GRUB. That's where the floppy.img file I'm talking about comes into play
[23:38] <zul0> what log i can check to try fix erros with my vpn connection?
[23:38] <CiDhed> I know that but this is a proven card.
[23:38] <CiDhed> Rolling back my version of xbmc to see if that was it.
[23:39] <sere> i have a 1000gig portable drive and i only had it for a a month, and used about 500gig...not sure why but in linux it slowly stopped reading it and now in winblows....i believe its the drive at fault but my question is what can cause this so early
[23:39] <sere> is it already bad?
[23:39] <Jordan_U> chiggins: I would recommend using the grub-mkrescue utility instead for making a bootable grub image. Though that will get you grub2, which is different from the grub legacy that guide is for.
[23:39] <djathoris> sere - sounds it. low quality manufacturing
[23:40] <cfhowlett> sere: name of manufacturer?
[23:40] <OerHeks> sere, HDD breaks down short after purchase, or after 5 years
[23:40] <xxdigitolxx> sere - use diagnostic tools to check if drive is still ok
[23:41] <xxdigitolxx> ex. seagate tools
[23:41] <xxdigitolxx> ultimate boot disc
[23:41] <jenders> hi folks, is it possible to pin to a specific release during preseeding?
[23:41] <OerHeks> s.m.a.r.t. enabled in the bios ?
[23:41] <chiggins> Jordan_U: I just figured I'd try to stay as close to the guide as possible, ya know?
[23:41] <sere> its a western digital essentail 1000gig and only had it a month
[23:41] <jenders> I work in a large organization that would like to gate updates and we're evaluating whether or not our requirements are going to allow us to keep using Ubuntu
[23:42] <OerHeks> !pinning | jenders
[23:42] <cfhowlett> sere: if under warranty, return it.  seagate generally makes decent equipment, but things do fail.  1 month use before problems is  abnormal
[23:43] <Nadd> Hi there! Can somebody give me a decent hint in the right direction to install them doomed nvidia drivers on my system? nvidia-xconfig made it unbootable. Now I am back to "unknown" device...
[23:43] <djathoris> western digital used to be a quality brand
[23:43] <mustafaerhann> did u try restricted drivers ?
[23:43] <_John> djathoris: They are still pretty good. What don't you like abuot them?
[23:43] <jenders> OerHeks: thanks, I'm familiar with apt-pinning but my question is specific to preseeding
[23:43] <_John> about*
[23:43] <mustafaerhann> properiatary ?
[23:43] <OerHeks> cfhowlett, true, only 0.3% drives fail from seagate.
[23:44] <jenders> is it possible to pin to a specific release that is always deployed during preseeding and then gradually update from this release point
[23:44] <djathoris> _John - user sere is reporting a 1 tb WD drive failing after a month
[23:44] <danutz> solved
[23:44] <Nadd> I just want it to work right now. I have 2 options in "additional-drivers" but both don't show sth. in the system info tab
[23:45] <OccupynMyChair> hey Jeruvy i think i found the problem, im not passing special characters using properly SHIFT 2 for the @ symbol just shows "2" when i tested my password as my login name..... ideas?
[23:45] <_John> djathoris: Never had that problem. Isn't there a warranty on it?
[23:45] <mun_> hi
[23:45] <_John> Hello, mun)
[23:45] <mun_> i've just upgraded to 11.10
[23:45] <_John> mun_*
[23:45] <djathoris> _John - you'd have to ask sere
[23:45] <jenders> it seems as if the default policy is to update to the latest version of packages installed via preseeding
[23:45] <OerHeks> jenders, you could easily stop updatemanager, or let you inform before downloading.
[23:45] <cfhowlett> mun_: greetings
[23:46] <mun_> and i'm using gnome 3 on 11.10, but i can't right click on the panel to configure it. is there another way?
[23:46] <sere> i always liked wd but one month on this one ..i  dunno nopw
[23:46] <terminhell> mun_: look up extensions. the panel is different than in gnome 2x
[23:46] <_John> sere: Do you have a warranty?
[23:47] <mun_> terminhell, what do you mean extensions?
[23:47] <terminhell> gnome-shell-extensions
[23:47] <jenders> OerHeks: is updatemanager still applicable for an installation without X11?
[23:47] <___marsh_> hello i'm having problem with HDMI splitter on ubuntu, the problem is nvidia driver won't recognize monitor over it so i can't have picture on it, dispar also don't recognize it. my setup is nvidia 450 gts with 2 monitors connected. the DVI one work HDMI one don't
[23:47] <terminhell> panel apps have been removed in gnome3/gnome-shell
[23:47] <OerHeks> mun_, use my-unity to configure 'the panel', or ubuntu-tweak
[23:48] <jenders> OerHeks: more importantly, during preseeding, after debootstrap, it seems as if packages are updated. I assume debootstrap installs from a snapshow of the LTS release and upgrades on top of this
[23:48] <_John> sere: Western Digital is a good brand, you shouldn't let that one experience change how you look at it. Call Western Digital about it if you feel it's that bad.
[23:49] <jenders> our organization would like to handle updates as a more manual process to ensure compatability with existing applications
[23:50] <ejv> portage is pretty versatile, but outside the scope of ubuntu of course
[23:50] <OerHeks> jenders, installation without x, i am not sure what you want to do, you can add anything to your preseeding file, but not sure howto pin a version there.
[23:50] <terminhell> jenders: then turn off auto updates
[23:50] <OerHeks> jenders, you could also start your own mirror-server, and control all
[23:51] <jenders> OerHeks: we're looking at going down that route
[23:51] <zul0> what log have info about vpn connectios with nm?
[23:51] <jenders> terminhell: we do have 'd-i pkgsel/update-policy select none' but that only applies after the machine has been seeded
[23:51] <jenders> during preseed, the install is updated from LTS snapshot release to current
[23:52] <jenders> this leads to patches we may not want installed, installed and version inconsistencies among pre-existing hosts in our environment
[23:52] <terminhell> jenders: then you may want to manually upgrade stuff
[23:52] <mun_> i'm trying to install chrome via .deb, but the software centre can't ope nit. it says "Internal Error. The file "...deb" could not be opened
[23:52] <mun_> 11.10 has so far been full of problems...
[23:53] <wagnor> To change resolution/refresh rate with xorg.conf all I need to do is to add SubSection "Display" into "Screen" and put Modes "800x600_60.00" in there ? If I'll run sudo xinit -- :2 after editing xorg.conf should I see the X with changed resolution?
[23:53] <terminhell> jenders: or try a different distro with a better package manager
[23:53] <jenders> terminhell: I don't the package manager is really the issue here, it's preseeding policy that I'm unclear on
[23:53] <DinoMuffin> mun: sudo dpkg -i <package here>
[23:54] <terminhell> wagnor:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
[23:54] <mun_> DinoMuffin, is <package here> chrome?
[23:54] <DinoMuffin> mun: it's the chrom deb file
[23:55] <DinoMuffin> mun: alternativly, run "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser"
[23:55] <jenders> perhaps our issue is that we're installing a codename instead of a specific point release ?
[23:55] <mun_> DinoMuffin, ok i get an error while processing it
[23:55] <LjL> mun_: indeed, why not just use Chromium?
[23:55] <Onkeltem> Is there a program for linear editing videos? I've created a screencast but need to remove some parts only
[23:56] <jenders> whereas CODENAME tracks stable instead of a specific point release, such as 10.04
[23:56] <djathoris> wagnor_ - there might alreadybe a sample org.conf in /etc/X11
[23:56] <terminhell> jenders: what do you mean?
[23:56] <mun_> i prefer chrome though
[23:57] <xibalba> hey everyone, would someone mind helping me for a few moments with a php issue where my php files download instead of execute? I've installed the lamp stack via 'tasksel install lamp-server', and have posted my php5.conf/load file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/843741/
[23:57] <cfhowlett> Onkeltem: Openshot
[23:57] <Onkeltem> cfhowlett: can it take existing MKV?
[23:57] <terminhell> xibalba: try ./foo.php
[23:57] <xibalba> from the command line?
[23:58] <cfhowlett> Onkeltem: pretty sure yes other alternatives....
[23:58] <terminhell> xibalba:  and make sure it has correct permissions to execute
[23:58] <djathoris> xibalba - did you set permission on the php directory to make it executabke?
[23:58] <terminhell> xibalba: and yes, from terminal
[23:58] <popey> Onkeltem: openshot is pretty good, i have used it to edit mkv screencasts
[23:59] <xibalba> well essentially i installed lamp-server, then cacti and tried to hit the cacti directory where it proceeded to download the main index.php instead of executing it
[23:59] <xibalba> i dont have the php5-cli installed, only the apachemodule
[23:59] <terminhell> OH, you may need a cli browser like lynx or w3m
