[00:00] <Star_Light> sorry
[00:00] <yugandhar> ActionParsnip, Any idea on this? please let me know
[00:00] <kandinski> hi, I have an encrypted disk with LUKS that works fine on my laptop, but I get "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "diskfoo"" when I try to access it on a livedisk system, how can I fix that_
[00:01] <kandinski> both systems are Ubuntu 11.10, btw
[00:01] <northernen> I have a process running. Is it possible to modify it in such a way that it sends future error messages to /dev/null, without having to restart it?
[00:03] <kandinski> northernen, it's a bit of a hassle and you have to use gdb, but you can do it
[00:03] <kandinski> http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/02/27/redirecting-output-from-a-running-process/
[00:05] <kandinski> northernen: please tell me how you went
[00:05] <Guest11659> hola denuevo
[00:06] <Guest11659> alguine de chile??
[00:06] <Guest11659> alguien de chile
[00:07] <Guest11659> how can i get a nick name??
[00:08] <soreau> Guest11659: Type /nick yournick
[00:08] <soreau> Guest11659: Optionally, you can register a nickname if it is not already registered
[00:08] <soreau> ! register | Guest11659
[00:09] <Guest11659> ok thanks a lot
[00:09] <soreau> No problem
[00:11] <mohan__> when I try to update my Ubuntu..I am getting error message says " Failed to download repository information"..how to fix this ?
[00:14] <darealdevelopah> any admins?
[00:14] <Pici> darealdevelopah: For?
[00:15] <northernen> kandinski, worked fine. Cheers.
[00:15] <darealdevelopah> I want to disconnect and I can't...
[00:15] <darealdevelopah> from the server
[00:16] <darealdevelopah> Is this enough to get kicked from the server? KIDS, SMOKE WEED! :D google for silkroad, online weed market
[00:16] <EvilResistance> darealdevelopah, /quit
[00:16] <darealdevelopah> nevermind
[00:16] <jakupl> lol!
[00:16] <EvilResistance> such a simple command... :/
[00:17] <kandinski> northernen: black magic.
[00:17] <kandinski> EvilResistance: I would have told him alt-f4
[00:17] <EvilResistance> kandinski, that's just rude :/
[00:17] <EvilResistance> anyways... *returns to coding*
[00:18] <kandinski> that's just evil
[00:18] <mega1> looking for the command to let me make a dir in the folder /var/www it keeps telling me  Permission denied
[00:18] <soreau> mega1: You probably want sudo mkdir -p /var/www/your/directory
[00:18] <northernen> mega1, sudo mkdir, if you really want to.
[00:21] <markgifford> hi guys, playing with nfs and am having a problem getting the client to mount nfs mount properly. Server works OK when mounting from a client which has support for NFSv4 in the kernel. When mounting from a VPS with only nfs (no nfsv4) I get "mount.nfs: No such device" errors
[00:21] <kermit> how do i open a '.numbers' file
[00:22] <mega1> want to be able to give user the permission to make there own in there
[00:22] <markgifford> but showount --all on server shows the failed mounts from the clients that attempted to using vers=3 ,but not the successful mount which used vers=4
[00:22] <EvilResistance> kermit, use a Mac?  http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/numbers
[00:22] <kermit> EvilResistance: i dont have one handy
[00:22] <EvilResistance> kermit, that seems to be used by a specific Mac software...
[00:23] <EvilResistance> kermit, its only able to be opened with Apple Numbers, or iWork as far as i can tell...
[00:24] <EvilResistance> but i'm not sure completely about that, i didnt search in-depth for software that does this
[00:24] <mega1> want to be able to give users access to there own folder in there so they can do what they want
[00:24] <daniel___> Can I get some help with nautilus-actions
[00:25] <chipotle> how can i acess grub config so i can fix it with the liveCD?
[00:25] <ZeepZop> Replaced Windows 7 with Ubuntu on my main PC today, woot woot!
[00:26] <daniel___> Does anyone here know how to use nautilus actions? I have a question on it
[00:26] <EvilResistance> daniel___, just ask your quesiton...
[00:28] <mdpatrick_> I need to set a static DNS to workaround a stupid modem issue I have where it gives up on fetching DNS results more often. How do I set a static DNS for my connection on an ubuntu machine?
[00:28] <Jordan_U> chipotle: What problem are you having exactly?
[00:28] <mark_u> mdpatrick_ /etc/hosts is common to many *nix platforms
[00:28] <daniel___> EvilResistance: I'm having trouble to get a script to run. I'm running a python script that fixes whatever simple scan doesn't correctly make when it makes pdfs. Anyways it runs fine with display output setting but it won't run in any other mod and I don't want windows to pop up on it.
[00:29] <mdpatrick_> mark_u: OK so given google's public DNS is  8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4
[00:29] <mdpatrick_> mark_u: What would I place in /etc/hosts?????
[00:30] <EvilResistance> daniel___, i'd direct your question to the hchannel rather than to just me, FYI.  But someone will probably answer (I'm on KDE, so I dont use nautilus)
[00:31] <zykotick9> mdpatrick_: forget about /etc/hosts (that for something else).  Do you use Network Manager?  there should be a way to enter DNS in there somehow (as N-M overrides /etc/resolv.conf which is actually used for DNS on non-N-M systems)
[00:31] <wolfmitchell> How can I get the programs on Ubuntu Studio without getting them separately or getting another ISO? (Eg. metapackage)
[00:32] <mdpatrick_> zykotick9: I must not use network manager because I cant find it??? do I need to apt-get it???
[00:33] <zykotick9> mdpatrick_: are you using "ubuntu"?
[00:33] <mdpatrick_> zykotick9: yes, unity desktop
[00:33] <zykotick9> mdpatrick_: then you're using network manager
[00:34] <zykotick9> mdpatrick_: or 99% probablility you are
[00:34] <kandinski> I want to remove the autologin from a flashmemory livedisk
[00:34] <kandinski> so it prompts for login and I can choose my own user
[00:34] <mdpatrick_> zykotick9: Ok probably so then... what line am I looking for to set static DNS??? network proxy preferences doesnt look right
[00:34] <Sach> Is it t possibe to open a .pages file in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[00:34] <daniel___> Anyone? In nautilus actions I'm having trouble to get a script to run. I'm running a python script that fixes whatever simple scan doesn't correctly make when it makes pdfs. Anyways it runs fine with display output setting but it won't run in any other mod and I don't want windows to pop up on it.
[00:35] <kandinski> Sach, have you tried?
[00:35] <zykotick9> mdpatrick_: sorry, i'm not sure how it works in N-M?  Someone who uses it might have a better idea.
[00:35] <Sach> kandinski, yes
[00:35] <chipotle> Jordan_U: ubuntu doesn't boot when i select ubuntu
[00:36] <kandinski> Sach, it's easier in general if you tell us what you have already tried
[00:36] <chipotle> so i want to check the partition scheme in grub to see if there's a problem
[00:36] <zykotick9> Where are the DNS settings in Network Manager?  for mdpatrick_
[00:37] <Sach> kandinski  ok.  i assumed that my request indicated that I've tried....  what I've tried is doubleclicking on the .pages file.
[00:37] <Jordan_U> chipotle: What does happen?
[00:37] <StevenCodes22> whats cgi used for mainly
[00:39] <tull> how can i use a pendrive with exfat filesystem?
[00:39] <kandinski> Sach, there are a series of word processors for Ubuntu
[00:39] <tull> i've installed this driver : https://launchpad.net/~relan/+archive/exfat
[00:40] <kandinski> I have looked and OpenOffice doesn't seem to offer .pages compatibility
[00:40] <tull> how can i use this driver with Hal?
[00:40] <Sach> Kandinski -- i have libre office...doesn't open there
[00:40] <kandinski> but maybe you can look in the Software Center, install all the word processors you see, and try them one by one
[00:40] <kandinski> that's what I would do
[00:40] <Sach> ok, thanks
[00:40] <kandinski> sorry I can't help better
[00:41] <Sach> kandinski -- no problem.  instead of a tedious trial and error method, I'll keep googling
[00:41] <wolfmitchell> Can someone tell me metapackage to install everything that comes with Ubuntu Studio. Any help?
[00:41] <mdpatrick_> zykotick9: Got it working definitevly. THANKS
[00:42] <zykotick9> wolfmitchell: you could check if it's included in list of "sudo tasksel"
[00:42] <wolfmitchell> Ok.
[00:43] <wolfmitchell> I get "sudo: tasksel: command not found
[00:43] <wolfmitchell> "
[00:43] <wolfmitchell> Package name?
[00:44] <calamari> hi. I'm sure this must be a FAQ somewhere, but I guess I'm just searching on the wrong things. I encrypted my root partition during the setup process. How do I change that password?
[00:45] <scottj> are there unstable cd images that are better at detecting hardware than 6.0.4 with firmware?
[00:45] <jaequery> hey all, ive just bought a new hard drive and plugged it in, when i do fdisk -l, i see the device and says Not a valid partition table. it's an SSD, and I want to set it as EXT4. how can I do this?
[00:46] <chipotle> Jordan_U: loads grub, i select ubuntu but nothing happens, i just get the same pink screen (or if grub loads up in a black screen, a black screen)
[00:46] <calamari> jaequery, do you want a partition table?
[00:46] <zykotick9> scottj: do you mean debian?
[00:46] <jaequery> calamari: yes, so i can mount it
[00:47] <scottj> zykotick9: sorry wrong chan
[00:47] <Jordan_U> jaequery: I recommend that you simply use GParted for partitioning and filesystem creation.
[00:47] <calamari> jaequery, you can run fdisk and choose option c to create a partition
[00:47] <jaequery> i dont have GUI
[00:47] <Jordan_U> chipotle: Does anything different happen if you select the recovery mode entry?
[00:48] <calamari> jaequery, (run it interactively I mean)
[00:48] <calamari> err hang tight
[00:48] <calamari> I may have told you the wrong letter
[00:49] <calamari> jaequery, yes, I apologize.. n, not c
[00:49] <Ady> can someone tell me how i create a file.log ?
[00:49] <jaequery> calamari: ok so i did that now what?
[00:49] <calamari> jaequery, do a p and make sure it has Id 83
[00:50] <Ady> i need the command to create a file "name.log"  pls
[00:50] <calamari> jaequery, then if you're satisfied, w to write changes and q to quit
[00:51] <jaequery> how can i set 83 ?
[00:51] <jaequery> if i do L, it shows a bunch of fs types
[00:51] <jaequery> and i do see 83 there
[00:51] <jaequery> how do i select it
[00:51] <jaequery> damn its been such a while i used fdisk ...
[00:51] <chris__> I added the following to /etc/hosts "0.0.0.0     www.facebook.com" is there a way to block https://www.facebook.com because using https seems to bypass it
[00:51] <calamari> jaequery, t option
[00:51] <hoshi411> anyone experienced with chroot of ubuntu on android tablet?
[00:51] <jaequery> ok cool
[00:51] <jaequery> now im back to square one
[00:52] <jaequery> how do i set this to EXT4
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> chris__: change the IP to 127.0.0.1  may help
[00:52] <calamari> now you should have a partition like /dev/sda1
[00:52] <jaequery> yea i do, and i did,  sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1
[00:52] <jaequery> am i done?
[00:52] <chris__> 127.0.0.1 didnt fix it
[00:52] <calamari> yep
[00:52] <calamari> I believe so
[00:52] <jaequery> ok cool
[00:53] <calamari> try mounting it
[00:53] <jaequery> why i still don't see it under when i do df -h ?
[00:53] <calamari> and you can see if it looks right when you issue the mount command without arguments
[00:53] <calamari> because df only shows mounted partitions
[00:53] <jaequery> oh
[00:53] <jaequery> right
[00:53] <diverdude> why cant i do cp ../../../proj1/Plugin/TwigView . ? It just says omitting directory ./../../proj1/Plugin/TwigView. Why is it omitting the directory im instructing it to copy???
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> chris__: http://forums.untangle.com/web-filter/18493-how-can-i-block-https-facebook-com-without-blocking-other-https.html
[00:53] <calamari> well mounted filesystems really
[00:54] <jaequery> and what is /dev/mapper ?
[00:54] <calamari> no clue, sorry
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> chris__: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/iptable-rules-to-block-https-www-facebook-com-919096/
[00:55] <diverdude> anyone?
[00:55] <chris__> I think ip tables might fix it
[00:56] <jaequery> does this look about right? /dev/sdb1                 /ssd            ext4    defaults,discard,noatime      0       0
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> jaequery: I suggest you use UIDs
[00:56] <jaequery> the last two numbers, 0 0 , what do they mean?
[00:56] <jaequery> ActionParsnip: why ?
[00:57] <Chipzzz> diverdude: permissions?
[00:57] <amazingrando> i swapped out a motherboard on my ubuntu 11.04 x64 system.  ifconfig sees the interface but no connection
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> jaequery: the device may change if you change the disks etc, uIDs never change
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> amazingrando: does the interface have an IP?
[00:57] <jaequery> i c
[00:58] <amazingrando> yes
[00:58] <amazingrando> interesting.  i can ssh into it, but it doesn't show a connection in the window manager
[00:58] <amazingrando> huh
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> amazingrando: if you run:  echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf     do you then get web access?
[00:59] <amazingrando> trying..
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> jaequery: pass-num Controls the order in which fsck checks the device/partition for errors at boot time. The root device should be 1. Other partitions should be either 2 (to check after root) or 0 (to disable checking for that partition altogether).    source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab
[01:00] <amazingrando> thanks actionparsnip  works now
[01:00] <chris__> doing nslookup and using the ip instead did the trick
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> amazingrando: ok, you aren't getting DNS via DHCP
[01:01] <amazingrando> yeah, i see that now
[01:01] <amazingrando> thanks
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> amazingrando: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html    will set that permanently
[01:01] <amazingrando> cool, thanks
[01:03] <jaequery> something weird happening, so /ssd is a 1gig partition that i just mounted,  im trying to copy a 380mb folder to /ssd,  and at 359M, it stops saying No space left on device. i do a df -h and says /ssd has 595M Available still.  what's going on?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> jaequery: what format is the destination?
[01:04] <jaequery> huh?
[01:04] <jaequery> its exct4
[01:04] <jaequery> ext4
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> jaequery: if you run:  df -h    is there free space on the device?
[01:05] <jaequery> yeah
[01:05] <jaequery> yeah,  /dev/sdb1            1004M  359M  595M  38% /ssd
[01:05] <Jordan_U> jaequery: How many files are in the directory? You may be out of inodes.
[01:05] <jaequery> not sure but a lot
[01:05] <Chipzzz> jaequery: try rsync with the --inplace option
[01:05] <jaequery> how do i check?
[01:05] <Jordan_U> jaequery: "df -i"
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: nice
[01:06] <jaequery> hmm,,  /dev/sdb1              65280   65280       0  100% /ssd
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> !cookie | Jordan_U
[01:06] <jaequery> so what do i do in this case?
[01:07] <jaequery> or is this what we call false advertisement?
[01:07] <jaequery> :)
[01:07] <jaequery> how do i increase the indoes
[01:09] <Jordan_U> jaequery: You can recreate the partition with more inodes. See the -i and -N parameters to mkfs.ext4.
[01:10] <Jordan_U> jaequery: You could also convert the filesystem to btrfs, which has no such inode limits, but btrfs is still *experimental* so do *not* depend on it for data you care about, and there is also chances of btrfs crashing your machine.
[01:10] <Chipzzz> jaequery: you have plenty of room if you rsync it with --inplace
[01:10] <jaequery> chipzzzz: what does --inplace do?
[01:11] <Sach> Is it t possibe to open a .pages file in ubuntu 11.04 ?  I've tried openoffice and libreoffice, but neither works.
[01:11] <Chipzzz> doesn't make a phantom copy before making it visible
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> Sach: what sort of file is it?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> Chipzzz: I don't expect that would make much difference WRT inode counts (which is the limit that jaequery is running into).
[01:13] <Sach> ActionParsnip  it's a word-processed  .pages file from a mac.
[01:13] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: Pages is Apple's Word processing app.
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> oh jeez
[01:13] <Chipzzz> ah
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> standard apple using their own guff that nobody else can use
[01:14] <rhizmoe> hi all. can i configure how notify-send appears? i only have default desktop notifications installed afaik

[01:15] <rhizmoe> ah, it's notify-osd?
[01:15]  * rhizmoe googlin' like mofo
[01:16] <rhizmoe> erf. launchpad is crappy
[01:16] <jaequery> damn this is painful
[01:17] <jaequery> itslike, how do i know how much inodes is too much

[01:24] <Bsims> I'm setting up a computer for dual boot I am presuming I install windows first?
[01:25] <allain> Hello everyone. I've been bashing my head against a network card problem for 2 days without success and was wondering if someone could help me out. Card is atheros device with signature "168c:0032" when running lspci -nn
[01:26] <allain> No matter what I do, I can't get the card to get recognized. Looks like it might be that I need to upgrade to a new kernel to get ath9k support for the card, but I've tried the debian version with that kernal and it just crashes hard when the screen is started. Radeon support is a joke I think
[01:27] <Bsims> allain: yeah thats been the rule for years ATI drivers even on windows are crap
[01:27] <allain> I'd settle for 16bit leisure suit larry graphics right now.
[01:28] <allain> It can't possibly be that the best answer out there is "You're boned"
[01:28] <allain> Can someone point me in the right direction on this.
[01:28] <allain> ?
[01:28] <cyberNode> I had an old latitude c400 lying around and thought I would install ubuntu 11.10 but, I do not have a cd drive for it. Any ideas?
[01:29] <hoshi411> the xbmc site does not say that they support arm
[01:30] <Bsims> allain: kernel has little to do with X support
[01:30] <hoshi411> so how are people running xbmc on raspberry pi
[01:30] <hoshi411> O_o
[01:30] <orkid> cyberNode: boot from network
[01:30] <Bsims> allain: check what version of X drivers the debian version you used was
[01:31] <allain> Ultimately, I'd like to run 10.04.4 LTS version and just have my wireless card supported.
[01:31] <Bsims> allain: check to see if there is a backport
[01:31] <allain> It looks like it's supported in the v3.0 kernel ath9k driver
[01:32] <urfr332gO> cyberNode, you can use a usb even if it does not boot one nativly with plop, what is the ram amount?
[01:32] <allain> will do
[01:33] <cyberNode> orkid: the net boot docs say use a dhcp server. I don't have one but, didn't know how to get c400 to see my tftp server through my router
[01:34] <cyberNode> urfr: you can get it to boot from usb?
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> cyberNode: boot usb an option?
[01:35] <cyberNode> the boot menu does not list usb as an option
[01:35] <Bsims> cyberNode: usb would be how I'd work it
[01:35] <Bsims> cyberNode: Hrm what does it say?
[01:35] <cyberNode> I have 9.10 server on it right now
[01:36] <urfr332gO> cyberNode, you can use the tab to complete nics, yes plop will boot a thumb/usb, it is on the web. You will need ! gig of ram to run ubuntu though, there are lighter desktops though. what is the ram amout?
[01:36] <cyberNode> boot options are: HD, card NIC, onboard NIC and diagnostics
[01:36] <lqgr00ve> how to i burn a win-xp iso to a bootable usb drive? (nevermind as to why i would want to)
[01:37] <urfr332gO> lqgr00ve, if you can use a windows setup with admin use wintoflash.
[01:37] <Bsims> lqgr00ve: unetbootin
[01:38] <Bsims> cyberNode: yank the hd out? install it on desktop pc, then move it back?
[01:38] <lqgr00ve> Bsims: thank you very much
[01:38] <Bsims> I did that to recover data off a dead laptop once
[01:38] <lqgr00ve> urfr332g0: no idea how to get win root
[01:38] <mohan7> I have a media player which is hosting files at certain IP ( ie :- 192.168.1.2 )...how to access the content of the files from Ubuntu by typing the IP address..Just like what we can do it from Windows
[01:39] <cyberNode> only has 500mb ram
[01:39] <rtdos> i think you need a mediaserver mohan7
[01:39] <urfr332gO> cyberNode, you would probably want lubuntu then, there is xubuntu lubuntu would be my choice.
[01:39] <rtdos> something like "freevo" i think mohan7
[01:40] <mohan7> hmm..
[01:40] <mohan7> so, how to access a shared drive in a network from Ubuntu ?
[01:41] <Bsims> mohan7: install samba and bob's yer uncle
[01:41] <mohan7> u know..in Windows we type in the \\172.20.XX in the run command
[01:41] <urfr332gO> lqgr00ve, you might get lucky with unetbootin, never worked for me. XP is rather hard to load to a thumb in linux as far as I know.
[01:42] <rtdos> mohan7 like Bsims said install Samba
[01:42] <mohan7> ok
[01:42] <mohan7> will do
[01:42] <mohan7> thanks
[01:42] <Sach> Action{arsnip:  any luck?
[01:43] <papachan> hello
[01:43] <JoseeAntonioR> papachan Hello.
[01:43] <papachan> is it possible  resizing the window partition space , need more space for ubuntu
[01:44] <Bsims> papachan: yeah use gparted
[01:44] <JoseeAntonioR> papachan: Yes, you can. You can use GParted to resize the Windows partition, so that the space you remove stays as unused space.
[01:45] <papachan> ok, but without risk of removing windows?
[01:45] <JoseeAntonioR> papachan: Once you have done that, and have unused space, resize the Ubuntu partition
[01:45] <JoseeAntonioR> papachan: No, there is no risk, as you are not formatting the partition.
[01:45] <papachan> thanks, will do that
[01:46] <Bsims> JoseeAntonioR: actually slight risk
[01:47] <JoseeAntonioR> Bsims There is a risk if there is not enough space. (c.c. papachan)
[01:47] <Bsims> JoseeAntonioR: windows 7 in particular, when you reboot windows it will recalculate the size of the partiton and write it to the mbr
[01:48] <Bsims> but indeed odds are will not be a problem
[01:48] <Sach> Is it possible to open a .pages file in ubuntu 11.04 ?  I've tried openoffice and libreoffice, but neither works.
[01:49] <Bsims> Sach: kinda
[01:49] <Bsims> Sach: .pages is a even more closed format than anything from Microsoft
[01:49] <Bsims> there is a script that will convert the text but not pictures
[01:50] <Sach> Bsims:  text is all i need...
[01:50] <erik1o6> Hi, i'm having trouble installing the additional drivers for my 5970 Radeon card. It ask's me to install everytime I reebot and doesn't let me install the post release update because of some jockey... any tips?
[01:50] <urfr332gO> papachan, Was the ubuntu installed from winodows in other words a wuni install?
[01:51] <Bsims> Sach: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1453967.html

[01:52] <Bsims> Sach: I tend to prefer plain text where I can

[01:53] <Bsims> eh say what?
[01:54] <Sach> Bsims:  you rock!
[01:54] <Bsims> erik1o6: does it ask you for sudo password?
[01:54] <Bsims> Sach: thanks
[01:54] <Bsims> Sach: heh been running linux as my sole OS now for 12 years
[01:54] <Bsims> heh windows 7 is the first one actually good enough to install
[01:55] <Sach> Bsims:  I'm on my 6th year, but my students sometimes submit their assignments in .pages ...
[01:56] <Bsims> Sach: make it a requirement that it be in docx or odt format
[01:56] <Bsims> odt aka libre/OpenOffice is the US gov standard now IIRC
[01:57] <Sach> Bsims:  evev .docx is not so great with libreoffice as comments dont save.  I've found that .doc is the best and most compatible format.
[01:57] <maki_> hi, how can i change my DNS servers?
[01:57] <neoplus> Hi
[01:57] <Bsims> Sach: yup thats been my experence
[01:57] <erik1o6> If it helps i've installed the ati catalyst but i'm still using the vesa drivers ;(
[01:57] <JoseeAntonioR> maki_: What version of Ubuntu are you working on?
[01:57] <JoseeAntonioR> neoplus: Hello
[01:57] <Bsims> Sach: I can explain why, basiacly docx/doc is a actual memory dump of the state of word/excel at the time
[01:58] <ztag100> is there a ppa for sun java?
[01:58] <Bsims> doc is old enough that the devels know the bugs/workarounds to read it
[01:58] <Sach> Bsims:  ahh...makes sense...I've always wondered that  :)
[01:58] <Cube``> CRAP guys
[01:58] <neoplus> Good morning.
[01:59] <Cube``> how can i install openssh-server without it displaying the dialog?
[01:59] <maki_> JoseeAntonioR: 11.10
[01:59] <Bsims> Sach: thats why one document in doc works great on one pc not the other
[01:59] <Cube``> or dropbear for that matter
[01:59] <Cube``> i can only access my server using webmin, so i can only send single line commands
[01:59] <ztag100> anyone?
[01:59] <rmld> Hi, could anyone help getting my 6850's drivers working?
[01:59] <JoseeAntonioR> !enter > Cube``
[01:59] <xangua> ztag100: launchpad.net you can try and search it
[01:59] <scottj> is there a way to run cat foo > /dev/bar with sudo without doing sudo bash?
[02:00] <Cube``> JoseeAntonioR: sorry. now, will you help me?
[02:00] <neoplus> @cube  : you can command #apt-get install ssh
[02:00] <pokuy> guys what is ding?
[02:00] <rmld> After installing FGLRX and rebooting, my monitor just shows an "Out of Range" error :/
[02:00] <JoseeAntonioR> Cube`` Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal, and then type in 'sudo apt-get install ssh', without quotes;
[02:01] <Cube``> JoseeAntonioR: are you trying to troll me?
[02:01] <JoseeAntonioR> Cube`` No, I am not.
[02:01] <Cube``> JoseeAntonioR: the servers half way across the globe, i cannot access it any other way but webmin
[02:01] <Cube``> but thanks for telling me how to open a terminal when using an X server :)
[02:01] <rmld> I'm the only one who has problems with AMD drivers? D:
[02:02] <JoseeAntonioR> maki_ Please, on the top bar, click on the connection icon, and then in 'Edit Connections...' Then, select your connection, and click edit. On the IPv4 tab, you can change DNS servers.
[02:02] <Bsims> rmld: no but can you manually specify the screen display
[02:02] <rmld> Bsims: How?
[02:02] <maki_> Its disabled to edit
[02:02] <Cube``> guys, http://pastebin.com/mnTER3UX
[02:03] <rmld> Bsims: I can CTRL ALT F1 for a console, if it matters
[02:03] <erik1o6> rmld how did ou install the drivers?
[02:03] <mister2> hey guys, i have a dell inspiron mini 10 (i know, they suck, it was free) and the wireless is listed in ifconfig as eth1, and there's no ethernet connection. eth0 isn't listed and the lan port doesn't seem to do anything. How would i test to see if that's a hardware problem?
[02:03] <Bsims> rmld: look for screen size and orientation, I run kde not unity or gnome
[02:03] <rmld> erik1o6: Using jockey
[02:03] <rmld> Bsims: as soon as X starts up, my monitor just shows an "Out of Range" error and that's it
[02:03] <rmld> tried on 11.10 and a 12.04 daily, same issue
[02:04] <funnyfingers> I setup a postfix email gateway and it worked as expected.  I then installed and configured MailScanner, SpamAssassin, and ClamAV and now the email is eaten with no rejection.  I can see the email in the hold folder, but can't tell why it is just staying there.
[02:04] <rmld> both times installed using jockey, although manually installing the drivers from amd.com did no help either
[02:04] <Zac_o_O> hi all - What is everyone using to back up their headlesss Ubuntu Server?
[02:04] <erik1o6> rmld: did you install the post release drivers
[02:04] <Bsims> rmld: hrm exit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[02:04] <rmld> erik1o6: no
[02:05] <rmld> erik1o6: but I think I had before, and same problem
[02:05] <funnyfingers> Zac_o_O - mine are LVM based so I snapshot it and use rsync off server.
[02:05] <kantlivelong> anyone here have issues w/ sound in wine when playing hl2 engine games? its like sped up for me
[02:05] <mister2> is there a way to test an ethernet port for hardware problems?
[02:05] <urfr332gO> !broadcom | mister2 I believe you have a broadcom card run lspci ti confirm this aand follow this wiki if so.
[02:05] <Zac_o_O> funnyfingers: that's pretty awesome!  but unfortunately mine aren't lvm based.....looking for good solutions
[02:06] <funnyfingers> do you have access to the host or is this a virtual machine?
[02:06] <Zac_o_O> i have access to the host - not a VM
[02:06] <mister2> urfr332g0 that seems to be the wireless, but the lan seems to be unlisted
[02:07] <funnyfingers> what does headless have to do withhow to back it up then:)
[02:07] <Bsims> Oooh just discovered calendar from the command line aka this date in history
[02:07] <Zac_o_O> well i guess i was hinting at no GUI installed
[02:07] <Zac_o_O> :)
[02:08] <mister2> so how would you figure out why your ethernet card isn't listed in lspci?
[02:08] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: I'd suggest good old rsync
[02:08] <rmld> Anyone know how to get ATI drivers working? Installed from jockey and amd.com, still get "out of range" error on monitor :(
[02:08] <funnyfingers> Well the backup depends on your data really.  I only know tar and rsync nothing more complicated. Zac_o_O
[02:08] <kantlivelong> mister2: onboard?
[02:08] <urfr332gO> mister2, they are running off the same .
[02:09] <mister2> yep, it's a laptop
[02:09] <mister2> urfr332g0 they're running off the same chipset?
[02:09] <funnyfingers> Zac_o_O if you can stop some services for the time, rsync would work.  Rsync might have trouble with databases open for instance.
[02:09] <Zac_o_O> i was thinking rsync, but shoudl i just rsync the whole / directory?  excluding /sys, /dev, /mnt, /proc?
[02:09] <Zac_o_O> ah
[02:09] <urfr332gO> mister2, should be as far as I know.
[02:09] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: give me a second and I'll paste you my script... it runs over ssh just fine
[02:09] <funnyfingers> This is why LVM based and a snapshot is great.
[02:09] <Zac_o_O> that would be awesome
[02:10] <mister2> urfr332g0 my card model is bcm4312, not 4322
[02:11] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: http://paste.ubuntu.com/859973/
[02:11] <mister2> oh nevermind there's more models listed
[02:11] <mister2> urfr332g0 are you saying that the default drivers installed by ubuntu won't allow both to function at the same time and i need to install STA drivers from the wiki?
[02:12] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: this is the exclude file http://paste.ubuntu.com/859974/
[02:12] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: its saved my bacon more than once
[02:12] <Zac_o_O> Bsims:  thanks!  I'll take a peek.  I really appreciate it
[02:12] <mcnellis> I want to gunzip the most recent compressed file in a folder. I'm using ls -t ./*.gz | head -n 1 to get the filename, but how can I pass that filename into gunzip?
[02:12] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: its assuming a usb removable hd, if its not clear just ask me
[02:13] <funnyfingers> gunzip `ls -t ./*.gz | head -n 1` mcnellis, might work
[02:13] <Zac_o_O> it'll actually be an internal drive that gets rotated offsite.  but I think I should be able to edit as necessary
[02:13] <mcnellis> ah use backticks instead of single quotes?
[02:13] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: you do alot with ssh right?
[02:13] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: have you discovered gnu screen
[02:13] <funnyfingers> yes the ones under the ~ mcnellis
[02:14] <Ian_Moone> networking is turned off by default when I use openbox. How can I enable it, and how can I make that the default?
[02:14] <mcnellis> ah yep, that worked! Thanks a lot funnyfingers
[02:14] <Bsims> its basicaly a tabbed console that works over ssh, and saves what you are running even when you disconnect
[02:14] <Zac_o_O> I'm not familiary with gnu screen!  I've used byobu though
[02:14] <Zac_o_O> same idea?
[02:15] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: kinda... I ssh into my pc from work... I fire up screen... I can open several different consoles... close the connection and reconnect to it when I get home
[02:15] <`Korvin> I'm running kubuntu, can I clone my install onto another hdd?
[02:15] <Bsims> and its like I never left
[02:15] <`Korvin> if I rsynced, would it boot?
[02:15] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: I can send you my screenrc
[02:16] <Zac_o_O> bsims - wow, that sounds pretty great.  yes please!
[02:17] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: http://paste.ubuntu.com/859981/
[02:17] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: you can have one screen that controls ssh for as many machines as you want
[02:18] <Bsims> each with its own name
[02:18] <Zac_o_O> wow.  that's really great!
[02:18] <Zac_o_O> thanks :)
[02:18] <urupica> sound problem: xubuntu 11.10, two user accounts. if user A mutes (via hotkey) it is not possible to unmute again. user B has to login and unmute. bug?
[02:18] <Ian_Moone> did someonenetworking is turned off by default when I use openbox. How  can I enable it, and how can I make that the default?
[02:18] <Bsims> Zac_o_O: lol last time I egosurfed... some chineese university was using my screenrc as default and how to document scripts
[02:18] <Bsims> that was flattering

[02:26] <kesi> Hi all, I have a dual-boot Ubuntu/win7 computer and need to remove Grub/Ubuntu. I understand that the best way to do this is via fix mbr from Windows recovery disk and then resize partition. Anyways, I can't boot to a windows install on flash drive or a cd on a usb cd drive. BIOS options are set correctly and both boot on other computers. Asus EEE
[02:26] <use_zfs_yo> xangua: i'm not sure i understand what you mean
[02:26] <use_zfs_yo> `Korvin: pretty sure it can be mounted still
[02:27] <`Korvin> alright
[02:27] <tensorpudding> kesi, try asking ##windows
[02:27] <CellTech> Is there a way to remote connect into a windows system from my Xubuntu? My gf's computer needs help
[02:27] <urfr332gO> kesi, there is a key prompt to boot cd or a thumb look in the manual or on the web.
[02:27] <pokuy> urfr332gO, when i add that network the display is mispelled i dont know why?
[02:27] <kesi> tensorpudding, I doubt they're going to know why grub won't let me.
[02:28] <Rurd2di> u cant boot into windows, isnt that a  good thing :P
[02:28] <sacarlson> kesi: can't you still boot win7 from grub?  if so I think you can fix mbr from there
[02:28] <kesi> urfr332gO, no key prompt, straight to grub
[02:28] <`Korvin> kesi, start up in the windows disc and run startup repair
[02:28] <kesi> sacarlson, according to what I've read, you have to do it from recovery
[02:28] <rmld> Here's my problem, if anyone wants to take a look at it :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1932643
[02:28] <Bsims> CellTech: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html
[02:28] <tensorpudding> kesi, grub won't let you what?
[02:28] <kesi> `Korvin, can't boot to anything on usb. Goes straight to grub.
[02:29] <tensorpudding> kesi, you said that your problem is restoring windows's ntloader to the mbr, that has nothing to do with ubuntu
[02:29] <urfr332gO> kesi, you have to use a key propmt at powering on to get the boot from menu outside of the bios that info maybe in your manual which may be on the web or just info on the web.
[02:29] <`Korvin> kesi, grub doesn't start until after you choose the boot device
[02:29] <sacarlson> kesi: then I guess you will need a working cd drive, can't fix it from ubuntu, other than set grub to default to boot win7 at boot
[02:29] <kesi> tensorpudding, I can't get anything to boot from usb. Goes straight to grub. Re-read
[02:29] <kesi> sacarlson, no cd-drive. netbook
[02:29] <`Korvin> kesi, then  you shouldn't have an issue booting to usb
[02:29] <tensorpudding> kesi, that's not a grub problem either, because booting to hardware would occur earlier in the process than reading the hard disk and finding grub
[02:30] <urfr332gO> kesi, read what I siad and investigate that is your correct answer.
[02:30] <kesi> All, I can boot to Windows. I need to be able to boot to a USB drive and I can't. It's the first boot option, tested on other computers. Won't boot on this one, no boot option screen either. Bios to grub. See lots of forum posts about problems booting to usb with grub
[02:30] <tensorpudding> it might be that you can't boot from usb cdrom, that would depend on the bios
[02:30] <kesi> no real answers
[02:30] <urfr332gO> tensorpudding, not always some times people need the f12prompt this computer though I belive is not f12
[02:31] <kesi> urfr332gO, no f12 on this one.
[02:31] <pokuy> urfr332gO, can u give me a pdf book about terminal?
[02:31] <kesi> BIOS sees USB drive and flash drive and they're set higher in boot priority. Doesn't matter.
[02:31] <urfr332gO> kesi, right no f12 it is another key or keys look on the web that is the answer.
[02:31] <phi__> hey can someone help me
[02:31] <tensorpudding> even if there is not a boot device menu button like f12 you should be able to specify a boot device in the bios
[02:32] <urfr332gO> tensorpudding, not always sometimes it does not work.
[02:32] <tensorpudding> this *still* is not a grub issue, grub is not the one preventing you from booting usb
[02:32] <urfr332gO> tensorpudding, right but your just clouding the actual answer. :)
[02:33] <urfr332gO> pokuy, I have no pdf book on the terminal.
[02:33] <kesi> urfr332gO, you were right, hit a bunch of other keys between bios and grub. Not sure which did it but it was either esc, del, or insert. None of which are indicted anywhere in the boot process. Thanks.

[02:35] <mister2> lqgr00ve i assume so. the wireless is.

[02:36] <phi__> ok ran the command is that it?
[02:36] <urfr332gO> tensorpudding, it is possible it would have to be in te\he windows partition to matter.
[02:36] <tensorpudding> you can replace grub on a windows disk inside windows vista/7 using easybcd
[02:36] <urfr332gO> the
[02:37] <mister2> lqgr00ve according to the gentoo wiki it's supposed to be a realtek rtl8101e

[02:37] <urfr332gO> phi__, did windows show in the terminal?
[02:37] <tensorpudding> you can even configure the windows bootloader to chainload grub if you want, although that's kind of weird

[02:40] <satyanash> sgo11, if it is a remote computer.
[02:40] <sgo11> JoseeAntonioR, I am trying to access internal PC. no need for router.
[02:40] <urfr332gO> phi__, run this script in ubuntu and pastebin the results.txt http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[02:41] <sgo11> satyanash, it's note remote. inside the same LAN. this issue is nothing related to router. this port just can not be accessed outside localhost.

[02:42] <nathaneltitane_> hello
[02:42] <nathaneltitane_> i am trying to match a regular expression through sed
[02:43] <nathaneltitane_> it doesnt seem to work
[02:44] <b0ggs> Quick question, I have a script initiating several SSH connections to my unbuntu install. I can ssh in just fine, but the script fails every other login, Is there, by chance, a setting that establishes delay between a logout and a login?
[02:44] <nathaneltitane_> its the init timing
[02:45] <urfr332gO> mister2, is the wireless working?
[02:45] <mister2> urfr332g0 yep, but it was to begin with
[02:45] <urfr332gO> mister2, with your install of the OS?
[02:45] <javierf_> Hi! I started today a course for making websites. Everyone has PC except me with ubuntu. So, I get double job trying to install the program in a different way that everybody and how the teacher explains it. I installed LAMS, but can't make Apache 2 work, following several tutorials from google. Someone can help me with that? thanks!
[02:46] <sgo11> anyone? I thought this was a very simple question. just open a port. I can do this very easily in opensuse.
[02:46] <nathaneltitane_> firewall rules
[02:47] <mister2> urfr332g0 well i had to install drivers for it, but yeah
[02:47] <mister2> urfr332g0 though thinking about it i have no idea how i did that without a network connection, unless it comes with 11.04
[02:47] <urfr332gO> mister2, hmm well hopefully somebody can help, I was just curious.
[02:47] <sgo11> nathaneltitane_, where is the firewall tool? I searched firewall in application and system setting. no result. thanks.
[02:48] <nathaneltitane_> look in software center
[02:48] <mister2> urfr332g0 i'm going to ask on the forums
[02:48] <nathaneltitane_> ubuntu doesnt let you configure it by default
[02:48] <urfr332gO> mister2, good ide. :)
[02:48] <urfr332gO> idea
[02:50] <phi__> ok i have a result.txt file its pretty long do i paste all of it?

[02:55] <seekwill> Hello. I see that 11.10 likes to use Shift+Ctrl+foo for stuff, like opening a new terminal. Is there a way to map Shift+Ctrl to Alt?
[02:55] <urfr332gO> phi__, couple of problems you need a boot flag on the windows partition and you need these files to boot it  /bootmgr /Boot/BCD I can help you do thi if you have a W7 recovery or install disc. You also appear to have a boot partition sda1 that you don't need.
[02:57] <roasted> Question - has anybody seen an Ubuntu install where once you suspend, 5 seconds later it automatically wakes itself up?
[02:57] <phi__> ok i think i can get a hold of an install disc. if i cant is that bad?
[02:58] <urfr332gO> phi__, you need the files I posted to boot windows in the windows partition.
[02:58] <urfr332gO> phi__, windows will not boot without these.  /bootmgr /Boot/BCD
[02:58] <phi__> ok. is that a space after bootmgr
[02:59] <urfr332gO> phi__, you should see this Boot files:        /bootmgr /Boot/BCD  /Windows/System32/winload.exe
[03:00] <urfr332gO> phi__, easy fix with a recovery or install disc of W7.
[03:02] <phi__> i found the winload.exe file
[03:02] <phi__> nvm ill try to find install disc
[03:03] <sacarlson> phi__: I have a eeepc that I've put windows and ubuntu on, it required to change bios settings on each boot to install win since it didn't see the usb until some time after boot
[03:04] <urfr332gO> phi__, cool you need to install gparted in ubuntu and put a boot flag on the sdb1 partition I can give you the commands to load those files using the repair terminal from the booted W7 disc, this will not work if you do not put that bootflag on the windows partition first.
[03:04] <urfr332gO> sacarlson, why are you commenting?
[03:05] <pokuy> urfr332gO, what software can download on youtube to be mp4 audio only
[03:05] <urfr332gO> pokuy, not sure.
[03:05] <phi__> ok ill put a bootflag on the windows partition right meow
[03:05] <dez4rk> phi__: A ubuntu live disk will rewrite the MBR, a windows boot record can't load ubuntu partitions.
[03:06] <urfr332gO> dez4rk, whay are you commenting here he has given us the bootscript it is a straight forward problem having nothing to do with your comment
[03:07] <dez4rk> urfr332gO: I reread what he said, thought he was doing something else. And why am I commenting? Because I can?
[03:07] <sacarlson> urfr332gO: because I think there is no cd drive on a notebook as I thought it may be
[03:07] <urfr332gO> dez4rk, the channel ask that you know what your talking about
[03:08] <dez4rk> It also asks that you can spell correctly, just saying.
[03:08] <urfr332gO> sacarlson, still out of the area of needs this is a straight forward sistuation extra comments cloud the actual one.
[03:09] <sacarlson> urfr332gO: or sometimes open new perspectives
[03:09] <urfr332gO> sacarlson, read the channel and freenode rules, yours is no new prespective.
[03:09] <scottj> is ubuntu partner still the place to get sun java jdk?
[03:09] <scottj> for 10.04 lts
[03:10] <roasted> Question - has anybody seen an Ubuntu install where once you suspend, 5 seconds later it automatically wakes itself up?
[03:10] <urfr332gO> dez4rk, sacarlson read the boorscript they posted.

[03:10] <sp4z> Hi, I have the following problem when connecting to a cisco vpn using VPNC and trying to ping anything in the new network "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" cant ssh or anything
[03:11] <sp4z> anyone know how to fix?
[03:11] <zykotick9> scottj: if you want sun-java get it direct from Oracle (they changed the licensing)
[03:12] <phi__> ok i put a boot flag on the windows 7 partition
[03:15] <urfr332gO> phi__, cool do you have a W7 recovery or install disc or thumb that can be booted?
[03:15] <phi__> i need to make a drive to my friends place to grab a disc is that cool? are you gonna be around for about 20 mintues
[03:15] <urfr332gO> phi__, yep. :)
[03:16] <phi__> ok cool thanks ill be right back
[03:16] <urfr332gO> phi__, cool
[03:16] <phi__> thanks alot buddy!
[03:16] <urfr332gO> phi__, no problem.:)
[03:18] <hex20dec> How can I check if I have a firewall on my server?
[03:22] <sacarlson> hex20dec:  sudo iptables -L  is one method
[03:23] <aaGp> do someone know how in emesene i can go to preferences?
[03:23] <hex20dec> sacarlson, thanks.
[03:24] <BrandonBolton> Is there an easy way to install different Desktop GUI's and select them at the log on screen?
[03:24] <sacarlson> hex20dec:  maybe the new method is ufw so man ufw to get more info on that method
[03:24] <nathaneltitane_> anyone good with sed in here?
[03:24] <zhuang> Does anyone know why my programs don't show up in the taskbar as they do in Windows, when I'm using Ubuntu and the XFCE DE?
[03:25] <urfr332gO> BrandonBolton, if installed they will be available at login.
[03:25] <hex20dec> sacarlson, I tried ufw, seems I don't even have it.
[03:25] <hex20dec> sacarlson, iptables seems the right path.
[03:25] <allain> I've upgraded the kernel to 2.6.39 on my ubuntu 10.04 box and now on bootup the screen is completely useless. I can hear the ubuntu desktop sound but looks like I'm seeing ramdom data on the screen. I'm reading that nomodreset is how to work around it, but exactly how can I stop grub and specify that option. Is there a key combo?
[03:25] <BrandonBolton> urfr332gO, I kinda don't want to mess up my system like when I installed Gnome 3.
[03:25] <allain>  ATI Radeon GPU warning on screen before everything goes fubar
[03:26] <urfr332gO> !nomodeset | allain
[03:26] <urfr332gO> BrandonBolton, not sure how you did can you elaborate?
[03:26] <allain> yes, but I can't seen the screen, that th problem.
[03:26] <allain> ... reading linked page
[03:27] <urfr332gO> allain, the link will tel you how to insert nomodeset into the kernel at grub.
[03:27] <urfr332gO> allain, are you getting the grub menu?
[03:27] <BrandonBolton> urfr332gO, Like, is there an package in the repositories to install, lets say KDE for instance, so that I can select it on log in? I am trying to get better at different desktop GUI's.
[03:27] <allain> I am not. Seems to blow right past it.
[03:28] <allain> Reading that I may need to hold down shift
[03:28] <allain> brb
[03:28] <urfr332gO> BrandonBolton, in the terminal sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:28] <BrandonBolton> urfr332gO, Ah, thank you. :)
[03:29] <maXXer> ciao
[03:29] <maXXer> hi
[03:29] <urfr332gO> allain, yes shift to get grub the e for edit then put in nomodeset at the area where you see splash the crtl-x to bott.
[03:29] <urfr332gO> then*
[03:29] <BrandonBolton> maXXer, Hello, is there something you need help with?
[03:30] <maXXer> a lot of things bout my extrabugged 11.10 :D
[03:30] <etyrnal> how is THIS a bad fstab line??  kanji:/Volumes/ultra/ultra/+music/iTunes-ultra/iTunes\ Media  /mnt/music nfs ro 0 0
[03:31] <maXXer> but not now, it's just a irc-tour :)
[03:31] <log> maXXer: You may want to check out #ubuntu-it for support in Italian.
[03:31] <allain> thank you! Not quite bricked yet
[03:31] <etyrnal> why is nfs such a hellion
[03:32] <urfr332gO> allain, give yourself time. :)
[03:32] <maXXer> why not, tnx log :)
[03:32] <log> maXXer: No problem. :)
[03:32] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo etyrnal seen this?
[03:32] <Zac_o_O> goodnight all
[03:32] <sacarlson> etyrnal: can it be mounted with the mount command?,  I assume you have already set export with the address of kanji?
[03:32] <Zac_o_O> thanks for the help
[03:33] <etyrnal> sacarlson, yes, and it mounts manually just fine
[03:33] <etyrnal> sacarlson, but if i issue a sudo automount -a, it says line 7 is bad (the one above)
[03:34] <etyrnal> sacarlson, yes, kanji is exporting just fine, and is mounted on other machines
[03:34] <sacarlson> etyrnal: seems your line is incorrect in fstab see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[03:34] <maXXer> bye guys, nite!
[03:35] <etyrnal> sacarlson, i have just about memorized the man pages for fstab and nfs
[03:35] <etyrnal> sacarlson, a hint would help
[03:35] <sacarlson> etyrnal: I think it should look more like this when it's in fstab /home/users    /export/users   none    bind  0  0
[03:35] <etyrnal> sacarlson, backwards?
[03:36] <sacarlson> etyrnal: export has all the details of the link fstab just mounts it at boot
[03:37] <sacarlson> etyrnal: I have also run into problems with nfs at boot that seems it takes some time to setle so I've writen script that mount it later as a work around in rare cases
[03:37] <etyrnal> sacarlson, so i do not need to specify ro
[03:38] <allain> ok. now I can see the screen, but as soon as I specify a wep key it immediately freezes completely requiring me to hold down the power button for 10 seconds
[03:38] <allain> lovely
[03:38] <sacarlson> etyrnal: that might be a workable option but you have info that is not needed in fstab,  maybe pastebin your /etc/export file so give us more clues
[03:39] <allain> wireless was the point to the kernel upgrade in the first place.
[03:40] <benbloom_> why would suddenly Phonon only show "PulseAudio Sound Server" as output option in kubuntu? I had everything configured perfectly, and now it's just switched all devices to that, and gives no other options
[03:40] <etyrnal> sacarlson, /Volumes/ultra/ultra/+music/iTunes-ultra/iTunes\ Media -ro -mapall=nobody -network 192.168.69.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
[03:40] <etyrnal> sacarlson, that's it
[03:41] <etyrnal> sacarlson, it's not seeing the escaped space
[03:42] <etyrnal> sacarlson, it seems to be ignoring the escaped iTunes\ Media
[03:42] <sacarlson> etyrnal: I'm not sue why you whould have this "s\ M" in the path
[03:42] <jsoft> Anybody know how to alter the behaviour of gnomes automounting?
[03:43] <etyrnal> sacarlson, can i put the pathname in quotes?
[03:44] <etyrnal> sacarlson, seems like it can't deal with  a space in the pathname ??
[03:45] <etyrnal> sacarlson, how do i fix THAT?  funny.  my Ubuntu machine can't handle it, but my os x clients can
[03:45] <sacarlson> etyrnal: this doesn't look like an export file line as this is an example: /export       192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
[03:46] <sacarlson> etyrnal: maybe if it's a file path problem just make a symbolic link to that path and export that
[03:47] <sacarlson> etyrnal: I also assume that the path is not pointing at an ntfs (windows) partition
[03:47] <phi__> ok im back! and i have the windows 7 disc
[03:49] <jeremiah_gatong> what is chkdsk /f on linux?
[03:49] <urfr332gO> phi__, cool boot it and follow these instructions there is a W7 forum link for orientation if needed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/813664/
[03:49] <etyrnal> sacarlson, the export is on an os x (BSD) system
[03:50] <urfr332gO> jeremiah_gatong, no that is a windows command, you don't want to run a ntfs fix in linux.
[03:50] <sacarlson> etyrnal: oh your right I think I am thinking in reverse
[03:50] <etyrnal> sacarlson, when i do a sudo mount -a  ... i get "mount: mount point Media" does not exist"
[03:50] <etyrnal> i'm on the client
[03:50] <redtornado5252> Hello. Could someone help a new user with "authentication" errors?
[03:51] <phi__> ok awesome thanks a lot! ill be back to let you know if it works or not
[03:51] <etyrnal> i do not know how to properly escape the pathname apparently
[03:51] <urfr332gO> !fsck | jeremiah_gatong here is a linux command set for linux though.
[03:51] <cfhowlett> broadcom wifi is killing me!  broadcom 4312/ubuntu 10.4/installed b43 method/hardware driver says it's present and active but no wifi seen?!

[03:52] <pdayton> I can't seem to get ssh-agent forwarding to work correctly in 11.10.
[03:52] <pdayton> I start the ssh-agent
[03:52] <sacarlson> etyrnal: so on the client side fstab line should look like this then: nfs-server:/   /mnt   nfs4    _netdev,auto  0  0
[03:52] <joint> im getting an amd HD 7750 video card
[03:52] <dax2112rush> I get the following when running glxinfo: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig. Running on nvidia-current (280.13) on 11.10. What can be the cause of this?
[03:52] <pdayton> I do ssh-add to add my key
[03:52] <pdayton> obut it just does n't work, any thoughts?
[03:52] <urfr332gO> phi__, cool you will get a chkdsk prompt to run on reboot, you will need to boot straight to winows or into ubuntu to run sudo update-grub to add the windows to grub.
[03:53] <jpnance> i see that 12.04 will have a package i'm interested in but i'd like to try it now on oneiric; is that possible?
[03:53] <urfr332gO> jeremiah_gatong, debian is not supported here try their channel
[03:53] <sacarlson> etyrnal: ya that could be the problem,  maybe try a simpler path just to see if the rest works
[03:54] <cfhowlett> Hardware Drivers shows my broadcom b43 wireless driver activated and in use - so y u no C a wifi signal?
[03:54] <etyrnal> sacarlson, it's going to break stuff =)
[03:54] <rxt0> hi there, I'm mounting a chroot, but when I /var/run mounted with --bind cannot be seen from within chroot
[03:54] <jeremiah_gatong> OK
[03:54] <urfr332gO> jeremiah_gatong, #debian
[03:54] <redtornado5252> I have a user account on Ubuntu 11.10 that was recently renamed. My orig. password work on the startup screen, but no where else. Trying to get apps etc from ubuntu software center. It wont accept my password for authentication
[03:54] <jeremiah_gatong> thank you urfr332g0
[03:54] <jeremiah_gatong> :)
[03:55] <urfr332gO> jeremiah_gatong, better safe than sorry really. :)
[03:55] <sacarlson> etyrnal: can't you just make a temp export to a sybolic link on the server side just to prove that it's a path problem?
[03:55] <etyrnal> sacarlson, will have to...
[03:55] <jeremiah_gatong> \m/
[03:55] <sacarlson> etyrnal: otherwise I'm not sure how to handle path with \ in it
[03:56] <etyrnal> sacarlson, "You can also specify spaces or other unusual character in the export name using a backslash followed by the character code as three octal digits."
[03:56] <sacarlson> etyrnal: you could also try your original idea with the ""  or '' aournd the path
[03:56] <etyrnal> sacarlson,  now i have to figure out what " " is in octal =)
[03:56] <javierf_> hi. I'm learning how to use joomla, to create a website. Using this program throw firefox, it should copy and move files and create files, but all the time I get errors: joomla can't do that because administrator permissions are required. how can I give an external applications root permissions?
[03:57] <sacarlson> etyrnal: can you try use nautilus to create the path for you?
[03:57] <sacarlson> etyrnal: cut and paist the file name into gedit to see what it creates
[03:57] <jeremiah_gatong> @jacierf I guess you need to set it up on the Apache server, since you can only administer joomla by default locally
[03:57] <etyrnal> sacarlson, good call
[03:57] <jeremiah_gatong> afaik
[03:58] <jeremiah_gatong> Enable remote administration on the Apache
[03:58] <sacarlson> etyrnal: I also use nautilus to create sybolic links so that might be another stupid way to fix it
[03:59] <etyrnal> sacarlson, cringe - on MY system nautilus is soooooo  slow =)
[04:01] <etyrnal> sacarlson, BINGO
[04:01] <etyrnal> \040  worked
[04:01] <etyrnal> time to reboot and see if it mounts at boot-time ok
[04:01] <phi__> k im back. im on a different computer here. but my computer with windows isnt booting the windows disc for some reason
[04:02] <phi__> its just sitting idle on black screen with the underscore.
[04:02] <etyrnal> sacarlson, thanks for Your suggestions/help  -- i appreciate it
[04:04] <urfr332gO> phi__, is it the same 32bit or 64bit?
[04:05] <oconnore> what does this mean on launchpad? "X must be configured in order for Launchpad to forward bugs to the project's developers."
[04:05] <oconnore> I want to report a bug
[04:05] <phi__> its the same 32 bit. when i take the disc out it says NTLDR is missing
[04:07] <urfr332gO> phi__, not sure on that you might try the ##windows channel.
[04:07] <lord_D> can i edit files on my ubuntu server through putty/ssh?
[04:08] <phi__> ok ill try windows channel. thanks for all the help so far
[04:09] <urfr332gO> phi__, strange realy NTLDR is XP I believe.
[04:09] <allain> my system is freezing solid when I specify a wep key, how do I even begin troubleshooting this?
[04:09] <cfhowlett> broadcom headache here: installed the b43 drivers for my bcm4312 card / Hardware Drivers shows it's active and in use / I see no wifi signals?
[04:09] <bastidrazor> lord_D: yes, use 'nano'
[04:09] <phi__> hm thats weird ill see whats up. ill be back
[04:10] <sacarlson> urfr332gO: phi__: is this after grub bootloader tries to boot windows?
[04:10] <lord_D> bastidrazor, wow thnx :)
[04:10] <jsoft> Anybody know how to alter the behaviour of gnomes automounting?
[04:11] <bastidrazor> lord_D: http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/  this may help.
[04:12] <chrislabeard> Hi, I'm trying to install airvideo I've added the PPAs and ran the update but It can't find the package
[04:12] <sacarlson> urfr332gO: phi__: i have had grub not have needed drivers for certain file systems at times but for me it was nfs, that required adding drivers to the grub boot loader,  not sure that has anything to do with this case
[04:13] <bazhang> chrislabeard,  got the link
[04:13] <chrislabeard> bazhang: https://launchpad.net/~rubiojr/+archive/airvideo?field.series_filter=lucid
[04:13] <bazhang> chrislabeard, how did you add the ppa
[04:13] <cfhowlett> broadcom wifi headache: installed the b43 drivers for my bcm4312 card / Hardware Drivers shows it's active and in use / I see no wifi signals?
[04:13] <phi__> hm would me adding the boot flag to the windows drive have anything to do with it?
[04:13] <chrislabeard> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rubiojr/airvideo
[04:14] <chrislabeard> bazhang: I also added it manually to sources.list to see if that would change anything
[04:14] <urfr332gO> sacarlson, hard to say it just booting a W7 disc NTLDR is XP I wonder if it is a XP disc.
[04:14] <urfr332gO> is*
[04:14] <bazhang> chrislabeard, so you have two sources in sources.list.d ?
[04:14] <urfr332gO> sacarlson, no indication of XP antwhere in the bootscript or NTLDR
[04:14] <urfr332gO> anywhere*
[04:15] <chrislabeard> bazhang: I added it to the sources.list not sources.list.d but I've removed it and started over still not showing up
[04:15] <sacarlson> urfr332gO: phi__: ok if you are pointing bios direct to the cd then it shouldn't touch grub and it's not our problem
[04:16] <urfr332gO> sacarlson, they are on the windows channel for help. :)
[04:16] <phi__> ya right now it should be booting the cd first. but with the cd in it just shows me a blank screen
[04:17] <chrislabeard> bazhang: would it be possible to dl the .deb package manually and run it. If I could find it.

[04:19] <sacarlson> bazhang:  yes ppa is just an added repository so it should work the same
[04:20] <bazhang> sacarlson, there is not a deb on that link

[04:21] <sacarlson> bazhang: the repository must have deb files in it,  the sofware I speak just gets all the needed debs from the repository and prepares them for install when there is no network

[04:24] <stiltzkin> Hello folks. Hoping someone can help me with mounting an encrypted LUKS volume from a LiveCD. Long story short upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 completely destroyed my installation - broke lots of packages, I get an immediate kernel panic on boot, etc. So I need to back up my data and reinstall. I've been following the guide here to mount the drive: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html but when I get to the
[04:24] <stiltzkin> mount step, I get "mount: special device /dev/luna/root does not exist" (my volume is named "luna). Any idea what's going on here? After vgchange I can see the drive and mount it in Nautilus, but it's read-only, which is a problem.
[04:24] <FloodBot1> stiltzkin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:24] <urfr332gO> `Korvin well the link is just for booting a ISO with grub same thing
[04:24] <`Korvin> urfr332gO, I mean I have kubuntu install on my computer, I'm booted into it right now. Can I get the install program and install kubuntu onto another hdd?
[04:24] <`Korvin> an external
[04:25] <urfr332gO> `Korvin not that I know of you could install in a virtual.
[04:25] <stiltzkin> Oh, and if I run Nautilus as root (which I don't want to do) then I can read/write to the drive, but this seems like the wrong solution. I'm just wondering why /dev/luna/root doesn't exist.
[04:25] <sacarlson> korvin: I have booted iso files direct from harddisk to install on other partitions but It still came up just like a live cd
[04:25] <rabbi1> how can i find particular fonts in ubuntu
[04:26] <urfr332gO> `Korvin, you need to boot a disc or the ISO from grub to install or clone the one you have and install it.
[04:26] <`Korvin> meeeehh
[04:26] <`Korvin> I have it on usb, just don't want to wait till it boots
[04:27] <sacarlson> korvin: if you have many systems to install there are automated install scripts so you don't really have to touch anything
[04:27] <stiltzkin> Anyone experienced with LUKS/encrypted volumes would be very helpful.

[04:30] <stiltzkin> cfhowlett, you may need to use ndiswrapper for that card, my netbook has a BCM4313 and I'm having a hell of a time getting it to work (not with Ubuntu, with android-x86). The correct Linux driver is brcm80211 if I remember correctly.
[04:30] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, thanks very much!
[04:30] <okum> anybody know how to fix this error? http://i42.tinypic.com/16lwmqd.png
[04:31] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: the details are in the pdf file found here https://sites.google.com/site/remotekeyencrypt/files/remote_key_encrypt.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1
[04:33] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, this looks cool but I don't think it will help me mount my drive
[04:34] <stiltzkin> okum, have you installed the wine ppa properly?
[04:34] <okum> stiltzkin: you know what man, i really don't know. :\

[04:35] <stiltzkin> okum, and then do " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[04:35] <urfr332gO> powerrangers, it is wine right?
[04:35] <stiltzkin> rabbi1, you mean like the fonts directory?
[04:36] <urfr332gO> in*
[04:36] <powerrangers> yes , but hoe to remoe
[04:36] <stiltzkin> rabbi1, /usr/share/fonts or for single users ~/.fonts

[04:37] <powerrangers> yes ,how to remove ms office
[04:37] <okum> stiltzkin: does that update wine for me?
[04:37] <okum> stiltzkin: rather than using the update manager?
[04:37] <stiltzkin> okum, it will update wine (if necessary) but more importantly it should fix your key issues. Yes, it does the same thing as update-manager essentially.
[04:38] <urfr332gO> powerrangers, not sure myself never used wine but if needed there is the #winehq channel.
[04:38] <okum> alright, thank you sir! some other guy told me how to do it, and was being a dick cuz he thought i should know how and it didn't even work lol.
[04:38] <okum> stiltzkin: ^
[04:39] <KM0201> okum, it depends on how you installed wine... if you have the wine repository enabled, wine should upgrade as part of your system updates
[04:39] <okum> KM0201: i think i just enabled it.
[04:39] <stiltzkin> okum, no prob, hope that helps. KM0201, I'm having him do add-apt-repository so it fetches the PGP key, I think that's his problem
[04:39] <KM0201> ah ok.
[04:40] <okum> stiltzkin: i'm pretty sure it did, it's updating in terminal now so.
[04:40] <stiltzkin> okum, if it updates and upgrades without errors you should be fine.
[04:40] <L3top> powerrangers: there is an "uninstall wine software" button... which should work similar to add/remove programs
[04:41] <stiltzkin> Still hoping someone can help me mount a LUKS volume properly...
[04:42] <okum> stiltzkin: ok, great. i just wanted to update before installing a couple programs.

[04:44] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: without details or your LUKS volume problem, all we can do is point to docs that show methods and resources needed: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html
[04:44] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, I posted all the details above. Can provide system information as necessary
[04:47] <y0om4> I installed truetype corefonts but the Times New Roman still does not show up in Libra Office. I do not understand.
[04:49] <rams_pandu> what is the software that can convert images into text files in ubuntu
[04:49] <stiltzkin> rams_pandu, you mean OCR software. Tesseract is a popular suite.
[04:50] <cbfreck> hey anyone want to help me out, i wrote over my grub when i installed windows and the ubuntu wiki article about this doesnt work for me
[04:50] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: ok I found it up there, so you got results at this point in the steps sudo vgscan --mknodes  returned something?
[04:51] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, yes, I do...looks fine to me
[04:51] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: and you did create the mount directory before you tried to mount it?
[04:52] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, yup, created /volume (also tried /media/volume)
[04:52] <KM0201> what are you trying to mount? (sorry, i left for a second so i could automount an NTFS partition..lol)
[04:53] <stiltzkin> KM0201, me? Trying to mount an encrypted LUKS partition properly. It's not really a big deal now since I already have Nautilus running the copy as root. I just didn't want to resort to that.
[04:53] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: oh your on a livecd boot so those directory are readonly,  try the user directory provided at boot of the livecd to create it in
[04:53] <rams_pandu> stiltzkin, can I convert png image into text using tesseract?
[04:53] <MrKeuner> hello, what may be wrong if one sees TX packets:130290 errors:392 in ifconfig eth0?
[04:53] <KM0201> stiltzkin, hmm, yeah, and running nautilus as root is kinda nasty anyway
[04:54] <MrKeuner> RX errors is 0
[04:54] <stiltzkin> KM0201, sacarlson, don't worry about it, as long as I can back my data up this installation is getting nuked anyway.
[04:55] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: ya I'm sure it won't be worth fixing,  just recover what you might have of value in the /home dir or others
[04:55] <y0om4> how come I install true type core fonts but then Libra Office does not show Times New Roman still?
[04:55] <user_> mnb
[04:55] <user_> lh
[04:55] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, lol it's gonna take a while, my /home is about 200GB
[04:56] <stiltzkin> y0om4, try reinstalling msttcorefonts. It's possible it didn't pull down Times New Roman from Microsoft's site properly. Are the other fonts installed?
[04:56] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: well it might have some value then if it's 200gb, that will take 3 weeks to recover your media from the net
[04:57] <y0om4> let me try to reinstall it then
[04:57] <L3top> y0om4: ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
[04:57] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, I'm missing my eSATA adapter as well, so it's gotta be over USB 2.0 <_<
[04:57] <L3top> throw a -l in there and make sure the size is good too if it does exist
[04:58] <L3top> msttcorefonts is notorious for screwing up on download
[04:58] <stiltzkin> y0om4, yeah what L3top said ^^
[04:58] <KM0201> L3top, i've never had a problem with it.. ever
[04:58] <L3top> the dl manager is very time aggressive, and hops immediately to other servers.
[04:58] <y0om4> l3top, thanks, I went there and it said README file with license refuse and to reinstall it. i must not have accepted the policy the first time
[04:59] <L3top> if it does not get a response immediately from everywhere, it will fail.
[04:59] <stiltzkin> L3top, can't that be fixed in wget options? I mean it's just a script right?
[04:59] <L3top> KM0201: I download it about 5 times a week
[04:59] <L3top> fails a lot
[04:59] <KM0201> weird
[04:59] <L3top> it has to do with that very license
[04:59] <KM0201> brb
[04:59] <L3top> and the way servers are managed
[05:00] <jsoft> Anyone here have any ideas how I can kind of alter the way devices are auto-mounted? (ie, flash drives)
[05:00] <L3top> alter how?
[05:01] <jsoft> Ie, I want to check the device's serial number, and depending on what it is, mount it read only, or to certain mountpoints, or run a program
[05:01] <stiltzkin> Alright I've got another question. Is there an easy way to do a copy from one directory to another making sure that the files are copied fully and correctly? I mean I have some of my /home backed up to an external, but not all of it. If I want to start copying again, how can I make sure not to copy files I've already transferred again?
[05:02] <rabbi1> stiltzkin: thank you, but could not find one font lmmonoprop10-oblique
[05:02] <zykotick9> stiltzkin: rsync might work for that
[05:02] <L3top> stiltzkin: rsync
[05:02] <stiltzkin> zykotick9, L3top, any good tutorials for that?
[05:03] <L3top> jsoft I can show you some code to look at from our project...
[05:03] <stiltzkin> rabbi1, I'm sure if you google for that you can find it freely and stick it in the appropriate directory
[05:03] <jsoft> L3top: Ok sure, that might be helpfull :)
[05:03] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: cp -a /pathfrom/  /pathto/
[05:03] <L3top> we do all but read only... and we are using messagesend which you wont have... but could alter to pop some other sort of notifier... perhaps metacity...
[05:03] <L3top> one sec.
[05:04] <signpost> what's the lightest-weight virtualization I can do if my only concern is separation for security's sake, not running other OSs, etc.
[05:04] <signpost> kvm?
[05:04] <jsoft> signpost: might as well just use virtualbox
[05:04] <jsoft> kvm also works
[05:04] <signpost> jsoft: I mean in a server environment
[05:04] <jsoft> signpost: prolly kvm
[05:04] <signpost> if I want two applications walled off from each other, but don't really need to run another os that isn't ubuntu
[05:05] <jsoft> Or whatever the linux equiv of jails is
[05:05] <signpost> k
[05:05] <rabbi1> stiltzkin: yeap, i got that from google ... :)
[05:05] <sacarlson> signpost: maybe chroot?
[05:05] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, any way to show progress with cp though? this will be a long transfer
[05:05] <L3top> jsoft: http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/PlutoStorageDevices
[05:06] <L3top> look at StorageDevices_Radar.sh
[05:06] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: I would have to check with man cp but probly add -v
[05:06] <zykotick9> stiltzkin: fyi rsync would only copy what has changed/or is new
[05:06] <L3top> there are also network radars etc.
[05:06] <stiltzkin> zykotick9, so just rsync /pathfrom /pathto?
[05:06] <zykotick9> stiltzkin: more to it then that actually...
[05:06] <L3top> they use lshwd, I would recommend sticking with StorageDevices_Radar's use of lspci
[05:08] <sacarlson> stiltzkin: ya rsync might be a better solution if something fails in the download like your usb locks up, when you restart with rsync it won't have to start completly over
[05:08] <jsoft> L3top: so is it basically a case of telling gnome/whatever to bugger off, and doing the mounting yourself?
[05:08] <L3top> and if you make changes, you can do incremental updates
[05:08] <L3top> yes.
[05:08] <L3top> we dont use the desktop at all
[05:08] <jsoft> Oh right
[05:08] <L3top> but give you access to it
[05:08] <L3top> if you want
[05:09] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, that was my thought, as the drive has disconnected prematurely in the past
[05:09] <stiltzkin> sacarlson, zykotick9, how about rsync -azv /pathfrom /pathto?
[05:09] <zykotick9> stiltzkin: z will slow things down considerably
[05:09] <L3top> however, the mounting persists in desktop... and it is automagic.
[05:10] <stiltzkin> zykotick9, OK, don't want that then. -av?
[05:10] <zykotick9> stiltzkin: i "think" that should work ok
[05:10] <L3top> it mounts VERY briefly and provides all information about the device, serial, name, size, avail space... and asks you if you want to mount it
[05:11] <L3top> like I said... you could use a little metacity notifier in gnome
[05:11] <stiltzkin> zykotick9, alright great, giving it a try
[05:11] <L3top> but its a start :)

[05:18] <Gitzo> hi

[05:20] <mfpockets> Hello, how can I make it so I can login through vino if I only have ssh.  Seems like it only boots when I login physically
[05:20] <cbfreck> zykotick9: hmmm the grub2 documentation is different, let me give this a shot
[05:23] <Guest93321> ?
[05:32] <urfr332gO> cbfreck, if you continue to have problems there is a script you can run that shows what is where that is helpful, if needed run it and pastebin the results.txt  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[05:33] <cbfreck> urfr332gO: ok thanks, im trying the grub-setup method right now but its giving me cant guess root device error
[05:34] <urfr332gO> cbfreck, I just use suorgrub to get in myself and fix it from the desktop, a reload of grub to the mbr should have worked.

[05:35] <cbfreck> urfr332gO: yeah im about to do that if i cant get this working
[05:36] <urfr332gO> cbfreck, Do you know the commands to reload grub from the terminal?
[05:36] <cbfreck> urfr332gO: when your chrooted or booted into the os its just grub-install /dev/sda right?
[05:37] <urfr332gO> cbfreck, yeah just make sure it is sda run sudo fdisk  -l to confrim
[05:37] <cbfreck> urfr332gO: i wasnt able to do it while in chroot since grub-install doesnt seem to be installed on that, and apt-get wont work from chroot
[05:37] <cbfreck> urfr332gO: yeah its sda
[05:38] <urfr332gO> cbfreck, that can get switched though if you use a usb flash to boot with though, always confirm it hasn't been.
[05:39] <cbfreck> urfr332gO: oh yeah good point
[05:39] <urfr332gO> cbfreck, I have had my sda hd read as sdb at times with a usb boot.
[05:40] <chipotle> hi, how do i figure out which hard drive has my boot partition on it? i know sdc2 is it, but i need to edit grub for the right physical drive so i don't get an initramfs prompt when i select ubuntu during startup
[05:40] <chipotle> it is because my boot drive is in the 4th or 5th connector, and when i installed ubuntu, no other drives were attached, because it dual boots with win7 and i didn't want win7 formatting all drives
[05:41] <urfr332gO> chipolte, you still running a GUID?
[05:43] <chipotle> urfr332gO: msdos
[05:44] <urfr332gO> chipolte, you should not need a boot partition, do you mean the mbr?
[05:45] <urfr332gO> chipotle, you want grub to be the boot?
[05:45] <chipotle> urfr332gO: well, right now i get an intiramfs command when i try to boot into linux
[05:45] <chipotle> because grub2 has hd0 as the drive with the boot drive for linux
[05:46] <chipotle> win7 boots fine
[05:46] <chipotle> but the physical drive is actually sdc and the boot partition is sdc2
[05:46] <urfr332gO> chipotle, so you have a actual boot partition?
[05:47] <chipotle> urfr332gO: yes
[05:47] <urfr332gO> chipotle, it is not just the root partition with a split home from it?
[05:47] <chipotle> urfr332gO: no
[05:47] <chipotle> sdc2 is my 100mb /boot partition
[05:47] <chipotle> so what do i put in grub?
[05:48] <urfr332gO> chipotle, you don't need a bootpartition with your setup
[05:48] <chipotle> but i have one
[05:48] <chipotle> so what do i enter so grub loads ubuntu
[05:48] <urfr332gO> chipotle, I can't really help there.

[05:50] <urfr332gO> jellybellys, you sure it is not just loading updates?
[05:51] <Yadira-007> i tried on windows,,and i get errors also,,is a write only filesystem,,something like that
[05:51] <humungulous> jellybellys: what specific error do you get
[05:51] <KM0201> Yadira-007, well if it's an error on windows as well, why are you surprised it's an error on linux?
[05:52] <Yadira-007> im not surprised,,i just cant do it anywhere,,,i thought it was easier on linux
[05:53] <ysp_> hello
[05:53] <KM0201> Yadira-007, if something is read only, it's very unlikely linux is going to change that
[05:53] <Yadira-007> even as root ?
[05:53] <EpicGeekZ> Yadira-007: is there a hardware lock on the sd card?
[05:53] <KM0201> ...
[05:54] <KM0201> gparted runs as root... so i guess you have your answer there
[05:54] <Yadira-007> no hardware lock,,is on a usb adapter
[05:54] <EpicGeekZ> what card is it exactly?
[05:54] <Yadira-007> is a micro sd
[05:54] <KM0201> well, if youc an't format it in windows, and you can't format it in Linux, something is going on on the hardware end..
[05:55] <EpicGeekZ> ahhh, micro sd.  I asked about the lock because I thought you ment a standard SD
[05:56] <Yadira-007> when i tried to delet in the progress bar it says that all together in the microSD is about 10G,,when the card is a 2G
[05:56] <EpicGeekZ> try a different usb adapter?

[05:59] <hex20dec> I followed the whole ubuntu guide and it fucked me up so badly.
[05:59] <hex20dec> It keeps saying to do different stuff.
[05:59] <KM0201> lol
[05:59] <humungulous> mail transport specialists are highly paid for a reason
[06:00] <humungulous> its freaking hard
[06:00] <hex20dec> Tell me about it.
[06:00] <humungulous> hire one, if youre spending company $
[06:00] <humungulous> you dont have to do everything yourself
[06:00] <KM0201> hex20dec, what version of ubuntu server are you using?  also, you might try asking in #ubuntu-server
[06:00] <humungulous> he just did
[06:00] <hex20dec> 10.04
[06:00] <hex20dec> And yes, I did.
[06:01] <chipotle> what ubuntu software is on the liveCD to edit grub?
[06:01] <hex20dec> I bought a VPS.
[06:01] <humungulous> chipotle: nano, vi
[06:01] <KM0201> chipotle, to edit grub?... nothing.. just use nano... there's aboot repair utility, if grub is jacked up
[06:02] <hex20dec> Oh, I thought you're talking to me.
[06:02] <hex20dec> =S
[06:02] <humungulous> hex20dec: i feel for you but i dont speak a word of sendmail.cf
[06:03] <chipotle> KM0201: where is the repair utility?
[06:03] <hex20dec> I wish you did, you've helped me before with stuff, humungulous. Thanks anyways.
[06:03] <KM0201> chipotle, it's in the repos.
[06:03] <humungulous> !grub | chipotle
[06:03] <humungulous> hex20dec: go to sleep for 24 hours
[06:04] <hex20dec> I promised myself I won't until I get this fixed.
[06:04] <hex20dec> Get this, everything was working fine, I just wanted to connect thunderbird so I can read and send mail like a normal person, and I installed so much shit and now it isn't even working, nothing is working.
[06:04] <KM0201> hex20dec, have you considered just using openwebmail, or maybe squirrel?
[06:05] <hex20dec> I DID.
[06:05] <humungulous> you added IMAP, or POP3
[06:05] <hex20dec> I installed roundcube.
[06:05] <T_H_X> postfix
[06:05] <humungulous> why cant you purge everything you did and go back to how it was before
[06:05] <KM0201> i've never use OWM, but i've always heard it was very easy to setup.
[06:05] <hex20dec> I installed postfix and IMAP and dovecot
[06:06] <hex20dec> humungulous, How would I list the last installed packages so I can purge them all?
[06:06] <humungulous> hex20dec: well for one place /var/log/apt/
[06:07] <hex20dec> But it's not even that, I know I did it correctly as stated, I understood everything, it's just they missed out on shit, I know it for sure. I need to add cname imap.mydomain.com and they did not state it anywhere.
[06:08] <hex20dec> Any expert here? I'm willing to pay, even though I'm broke.
[06:09] <urfr332gO> hex20dec, you can pay canonical.
[06:09] <humungulous> craigslist gigs section could work too
[06:09] <KM0201> hex20dec, i think i agree, you need to sleep for 24hrs, then come back to this,,, you're blaming a tutorial, that nobody else has had a problem with
[06:09] <humungulous> but the most qualified MTA admin would already have a job
[06:11] <hex20dec> I wish there was a fucking installation pack for all this shit.
[06:11] <hex20dec> Would make people's life so much easier.
[06:12] <hex20dec> I think I'll stay up for a few more hours trying to figure it out.
[06:12] <urfr332gO> !language | this is the second time you have used that word.
[06:12] <hex20dec> ubottu, sorry.
[06:13] <hex20dec> humungulous, do you know any experts on this channel that I can private message them?
[06:14] <humungulous> afraid not. tell you the truth ive only been active here for less than a week
[06:14] <hex20dec> Oh wow, you seem very active.
[06:14] <humungulous> well, im very bored
[06:15] <humungulous> lol
[06:15] <hex20dec> Haha.
[06:15] <cbush14> I keep trying to change the motd and it just changes back?
[06:15] <humungulous> cbush14: it's controlled from the contents of /etc/update-motd.d/
[06:15] <humungulous> cbush14: poke around there
[06:17] <cbush14> cheers
[06:17] <humungulous> cbush14: you found it?
[06:17] <cbush14> Yeah cheers.
[06:18] <humungulous> ah good
[06:21] <ogre> I lost sound suddenly. been trying to figure out how to fix. any help appreciated. here is an lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/860147/
[06:21] <vaccine> Im trying to install 11.10 on a MacBook Air, I can boot the installer off a thumb drive, but the install crashes with an I/O error right after it detects no CD drive.  Anyone have any suggestions?
[06:22] <fairuz_> Which one is better to create local mirror, using debmirror or apt-mirror?
[06:22] <crazycheese> Hi, Im searching linux specialist in rostov-on-don, russia. Anyone?
[06:22] <Flannel> fairuz_: What's your use-case?
[06:22] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys, is it possible to import wireless networks into Ubuntu from Win7? Regards :)
[06:23] <fairuz_> Flannel: We are a small of grup want to do an upgrade jam but the internet connection is not good.
[06:23] <fairuz_> So I think we could turn one machine to an mirror
[06:23] <fairuz_> Download all the upgrades in advance
[06:25] <tweeze> I was having some trouble installing ipac-ng, everytime i ran sudo apt-get install ipac-ng, I got the error of can't find that package.  What repository do i need to add to get this package?
[06:25] <Flannel> fairuz_: Well, apt-proxy means that you'll only have to download each package that you use once.  But it won't be downloaded until it's used.  debmirror will let you mirror everything.
[06:25] <geirha> fairuz_: you might want to look into apt-cacher
[06:25] <Flannel> fairuz_: Since the upgrades won't require a full mirror, I imagine apt-proxy will be best, and if you're worried about time during, do an upgrade prior, that'll pre-cache the files in the apt-mirror
[06:26] <geirha> Flannel, fairuz_: Don't use apt-proxy, it's got bugs and is no longer maintained, so those bugs won't be fixed.
[06:26] <Flannel> fairuz_: Another way to do it is to download the alternate CD (which you can torrent, if that helps), and then upgrade from that.
[06:27] <Satisfied> i just upgraded to to 11.10 ( i think ) ... this new interface is totally crazy?!  is this how its supposed to be ..... i just want to open a terminal but can't figure out how to do it.
[06:27] <Flannel> fairuz_: I believe everything I said is still correct using apt-cacher instead of apt-proxy.
[06:28] <nubcake> Satisfied: did you try alt+f2 -> gnome-terminal  ?
[06:28] <Satisfied> I'm not even sure what to click anymore... I've been wanting to change the window themes but I cannot figure for the life of me how things work in this crazy place.. i'm going crazy
[06:28] <raden> can ubuntu be installed on top of software raid at the bios level ?
[06:29] <fairuz_> Flannel: geirha: I'm still not getting it. apt-cacher will be used to get necessary packages for update. So can I use these packages for another machines to upgrade too? Or it need to be done for each machine
[06:30] <Satisfied> i'm thinking this must be some sort of a joke... on me ? this interface is just bizarre
[06:30] <Satisfied> is this really gnome?
[06:30] <geirha> fairuz_: you set up a box with apt-cacher, then you change your sources.list to point to that box instead of archive.ubuntu.com.
[06:30] <Flannel> fairuz_: Yeah, you point each machine to the cacher ('instead of' a repository), then whenever a machine asks for a package, the cacher checks to see if it has it, if it does, it hands it over, if it doesn't, it downloads it from the real repositories, and caches the package for when someone else asks for it.
[06:30] <nubcake> Satisfied: how are we supposed to know what you're looking at?
[06:31] <Satisfied> nubcake, shrug, ... i just installed the latest ubuntu and the desktop is just goofy
[06:31] <Satisfied> there are big blockish and clumsy icons on the left side that make no sense
[06:32] <fairuz_> Flanner geirha: Understood. So I have to have one box/machine that is already upgraded so that the other machines can take the upgrade from it. Is that correct?
[06:32] <tweeze> I was having some trouble installing ipac-ng, everytime i ran sudo apt-get install ipac-ng, I got the error of can't find that package.  What repository do i need to add to get this package?
[06:32] <nubcake> oh that netbook-like sidebar-thingy
[06:32] <Flannel> Satisfied: It's not GNOME, it's Unity--Canonical's take on how a UI should behave.
[06:32] <Satisfied> unity--canoical   ?
[06:32] <Flannel> Satisfied: Unity is the UI.  Canonical is the company that made it.
[06:32] <Satisfied> woah..
[06:33] <Flannel> fairuz_: If you want to have everything cached beforehand, set up the cacher, point a machine at the cacher and upgrade with that machine ahead of time.  This will fill the cache with the packages for the upgrade.
[06:33] <Satisfied> this is really bad... I dont know who that company is but they should be fucking fired yesterday.
[06:33] <Satisfied> this interface is totally crazy
[06:33] <Flannel> Satisfied: Please mind your language.  And if you'd like to rant about Unity, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[06:34] <Satisfied> how do I open skype from this new gnome ?  it was really easy before... 3 clicks.. i have no clue how to do it now
[06:36] <Satisfied> yikes...
[06:36] <fairuz_> Flannel: Ok got it. Thanks.
[06:36] <geirha> Satisfied: Click the icon in the top left corner (or hit the Windows-key) Type skype and enter
[06:36] <Satisfied> I'll take that as a no
[06:37] <Satisfied> geirha, nothing happened ?
[06:37] <urfr332gO> !language | Satisfied
[06:37] <urfr332gO> Flannel, sorry I missed your post.
[06:37] <napoligno> ciao a tutti
[06:38] <geirha> Satisfied: That doesn't help much. What part didn't "work"?
[06:38] <Satisfied> nothing happened
[06:39] <phoenix_firebrd> Yesterday i was browsing the web using the chrome browser. When i visited a website, an windows exectuble was executed in wine. My chrome doesnt have any extension installed and i think this arbitary code execution is because of a vulnerablity of the browser.
[06:39] <phoenix_firebrd> how can i make my system more secure ? other than uninstalling the wine and chrome
[06:39] <geirha> Satisfied: when? When you clicked the icon, nothing appeared? When you typed skype, no results were shown?
[06:39] <phoenix_firebrd> I have deleted the wine directory and checked for any unwanted programs running in the background, nothing like that.
[06:40] <Satisfied> results?  no sort of search button arrived for me
[06:41] <Satisfied> wait... why the hell do I need search results for skype ?
[06:42] <Satisfied> i just want to load it.. not search for it
[06:42] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys, is it possible to import wireless networks into Ubuntu from Win7? Regards :)
[06:42] <geirha> Satisfied: That's how unity works. For applications you haven't pinned on the dock on the left, you open the Dash and search for the app.
[06:43] <Satisfied> geirha, that is a very curious comment
[06:43] <tweeze> any help on installing ipac-ng?  i tried to apt-get install it, and i can't locate the package?  what repository should i add for this?
[06:43] <geirha> Satisfied: How so?
[06:43] <Satisfied> why should I have to search for such simple things?
[06:43] <humungulous> Mayazcherquoi: no, you have to configure the client settings anew, but it should be trivial, there is no meaningful benefit in the "import" youre envisioning
[06:44] <Mayazcherquoi> humungulous: Damn :-/
[06:44] <geirha> Satisfied: *shrug* someone though that was a good idea?
[06:44] <humungulous> Mayazcherquoi: all you need to know is the SSID and passphrase. you would engineer an entire automated export/import pipeline just for that?
[06:44] <geirha> Satisfied: Anyway, you only need to search it up once, then pin it to the dock.
[06:45] <zykotick9> !notunity | Satisfied
[06:45] <Satisfied> how do i pin someting ?
[06:46] <geirha> Satisfied: Once you've started an application, an icon for it will appear in the dock. Right-click it and select "pin"
[06:46] <zykotick9> Satisfied: if you are looking for a more Gnome 2-like environement, check out xfce
[06:46] <Satisfied> zykotick9, i was using gnome yesterday and now I have this weird and confusing interface.... this is not gnome
[06:47] <zykotick9> Satisfied: it's gnome+unity
[06:47] <kthomas1> if I start an X session,  I don't have an app pager;  how to start one?
[06:47] <Satisfied> i just want gnome... no idea what unity is
[06:47] <geirha> Satisfied: It is Gnome3. The gnome developers have made some radical changes since gnome2.
[06:48] <Satisfied> i'm typing this from the computer next to my new ubuntu install... i dont even know how to load xchat
[06:48] <Satisfied> this is gnome...
[06:48] <Satisfied> not some sort of 'unity' thing
[06:48] <ome> How would you access the docs under /usr/share/doc/ ? obviously not ungz'ing and using the editor way.
[06:48] <zykotick9> Satisfied: unity is not gnome (it just uses gnome as a base)
[06:48] <T_H_X> hex20dec: i'll do it if you want to give me ssh / root access
[06:49] <tweeze> any help finding a repository for ipac-ng?  i was having some trouble installing it
[06:49] <geirha> Satisfied: Previous releases used  gnome + gnome-panel, now it's gnome + unity
[06:49] <Satisfied> zykotick9, what happened to the regular gnome then?
[06:49] <hex20dec> T_H_X, really??
[06:50] <humungulous> ome: they intend for you to open a web browser to file:///usr/share/doc/
[06:50] <T_H_X> hex20dec: sure, i have nothing better to do
[06:50] <zykotick9> Satisfied: gnome2 is deprecated, and gnome3 is almost as bad as unity.  Linus T. switched to xfce for a sanner environment
[06:51] <ome> humungulous: but they are mostly .gz and it's not convinent to download the files from your own computer, unziping then using an editor !
[06:51] <Satisfied> *sigh* I dont what to do with this computer that I installed it on... the interface is so weird.  I just want it to run but i can't figure anything out.  I want to configure things but there are all sorts of buttons and stuff
[06:51] <humungulous> ome: nobody actually uses it :)
[06:51] <Satisfied> its so strange
[06:51] <ome> humungulous: there is pretty good stuff. I wonder why there isn't a tool to use them.
[06:51] <humungulous> ome: a browser would gunzip them in passing, is the idea
[06:51] <ome> where does info fetchs the information, IRRC, it doesn't has a DB like man.
[06:52] <geirha> ome: I just do   less /usr/share/doc/something/README.gz
[06:52] <ome> geirha: sound a good idea.
[06:52] <humungulous> ome: echo $INFOPATH
[06:53] <humungulous> hmm, maybe not
[06:53] <ome> humungulous: all I got was this
[06:53] <ome> :P
[06:53] <zykotick9> geirha: less doesn't support .gz on my system???
[06:53] <humungulous> i dont even know
[06:53] <Mayazcherquoi> I'm getting several conficts from a package (libgnome-keyring0), which is making me unable to install gnome-shell :-/
[06:54] <Mayazcherquoi> How can I overcome this?
[06:54] <geirha> Satisfied: Well, you got two choices really. Install a different desktop environment, such as xfce or lxde, which are very similar to the "gnome" you're used to, or learn how to use unity.
[06:54] <humungulous> ah, of course
[06:54] <humungulous> ome: /usr/share/info/
[06:55] <ome> humungulous: nice.
[06:55] <humungulous> ome: you could do gunzip -c <file> | less
[06:55] <Satisfied> geirha, not sure.. is there ubuntu with xfce? (never used xfce)
[06:55] <tweeze> am i actually posting? lol
[06:55] <EpicGeekZ> xubuntu
[06:55] <humungulous> ome: but theres really no reason to use those
[06:56] <Mayazcherquoi> Why the hell does uninstalling a package warrant a necessity to install ~120 new packages?
[06:56] <EpicGeekZ> or you can install xfce4 through apt-get
[06:56] <humungulous> ome: when you have google and the entire internets
[06:56] <geirha> zykotick9: less runs it through lesspipe, which figures out it is a gz file and passes it through gzip
[06:56] <ome> humungulous: fair, but there is lots of good stuff in docs that _normally_ you find crap solutions in web.
[06:56] <zykotick9> geirha: not here?  odd, gives me a message like "this is binary, still want to show it?" and i get binary output
[06:57] <humungulous> tweeze: no one must know
[06:57] <ome> ****btw, less *.gz works just fine.***
[06:57] <jaequery> hoanyone know how i can find out random IOPS (4k) of my drive in linux?
[06:57] <humungulous> jaequery: man hdparm
[06:57] <tweeze> humungulous: i feel like im invisible!
[06:57] <geirha> zykotick9: echo "$LESSOPEN"  # shows   | /usr/bin/lesspipe %s
[06:57] <humungulous> tweeze: we see it
[06:57] <jaequery> isnt hdparm just for max throughput?
[06:58] <jaequery> i need random iops numbers (4k)
[06:58] <humungulous> jaequery: it can do a few different tests
[06:58] <ome> humungulous: as an example, the answer for gnome3 power button in web (as in google first pages) is 'use a plugin!' but doc says press alt. :D
[06:58] <geirha> Satisfied: Yes, xubuntu is ubuntu preinstalled with xfce instead of gnome, but you can just install xfce in your current ubuntu install.
[06:59] <fairuz_> Flannel: geirha: One more question :) The packages cached on the cacher will be independant from the packages used by the cacher machine itself right?
[06:59] <jaequery> humungulous: how can i use hdparm to give me the 4k random iops numbers? all i know now is just hdparm -tT <device>
[06:59] <zykotick9> geirha: if i call lesspipe it does work, neat, thanks.  easier then the zcat method i used to use.
[06:59] <humungulous> checking
[06:59] <mohan7> I can't update my Ubuntu...in my Update Manager it's showing "Failed to download repository information"..May I know how to fix this ?
[06:59] <geirha> fairuz_: right
[06:59] <webPragmatist> so… quite honestly i'm a noob… I just installed haproxy from souce (make / make install) and i'm not sure whether the haproxy init.d file came from it or the old apt package i isntalled
[07:00] <webPragmatist> any help here? does make install create daemons?
[07:00] <ome> mohan7: open Software Sources and check the Download From.
[07:00] <Satisfied> geirha, okay.. i'll check that out, anything can be better than what I'm going through here.  I dont know how to do anything and these big buttons on the left side are just odd... not sure why they're there.
[07:00] <zykotick9> fairuz_: yes, each system (including the host, even if it's pointed to the apt-cacher) downloads the packages to the local cache
[07:00] <Satisfied> I dont need buttons on the left hand part of the screen...  what the heck
[07:00] <humungulous> jaequery: youre right, there is no standard tool for random access testing
[07:01] <Satisfied> this is gnome? wow.. I must be going crazy
[07:01] <bazhang> !notunity | Satisfied
[07:01] <fairuz_> Thanks!
[07:01] <Mayazcherquoi> I'm getting several conficts from a package (libgnome-keyring0), which is making me unable to install gnome-shell :-/
[07:01] <urfr332gO> mohan7, not knowing what you have done try looking here. http://askubuntu.com/questions/82509/failed-to-download-repository-information-error-what-to-do
[07:01] <Mayazcherquoi> How can I overcome this?
[07:01] <bazhang> Satisfied, #ubuntu-offtopic for extended criticisms of Unity
[07:01] <zykotick9> Satisfied: it's not gnome, stop calling it that.  It's ubuntu's custom shell on top of gnome
[07:02] <jaequery> humungulous: so any ideas?
[07:02] <mohan7> Ok...thakns
[07:02] <Satisfied> zykotick9, interesting........ has the ubuntu team approved of this ?
[07:02] <mohan7> Will try nwo
[07:03] <ome> zykotick9: Huh ? it's gnome3 just like you get it in Fedora.
[07:03] <Mayazcherquoi> omfg!
[07:03] <humungulous> jaequery: the page i googled up, the guy actually wrote his own small throwaway .c program to test it
[07:03] <zykotick9> ome: unity != gnome-shell
[07:03] <humungulous> jaequery: so, theres that hehehe
[07:03] <ome> zykotick9: ah, I thought you are talking about gnome32, my bad.
[07:03] <Satisfied> i just want ubuntu with gnome.. not this unity nonsense
[07:03] <ome> s\32\3
[07:04] <zykotick9> Satisfied: ubuntu is a top down organization, it's all decided by one person.  not a democracy.
[07:04] <EpicGeekZ> Satisfied: try an older version of ubuntu
[07:04] <Mayazcherquoi> Wow... Ubuntu's absolutely ridiculous.
[07:04] <ome> Satisfied: install gnome-shell and use the classic. problem solved.
[07:04] <geirha> Satisfied: you want gnome+gnome-panel instead of gnome+unity is what you're saying.
[07:04] <Satisfied> jesus, this conversation is crazy.. sorry., i'll go because I dont understand
[07:04] <bazhang> Satisfied, that is enough. you have been given many other options. xubuntu-desktop package should you wish to install xfce4 and the other options mentioned since. this is not the place for a rant about unity
[07:05] <bazhang> whoops
[07:05] <tweeze> any help installing ipac-ng?
[07:06] <humungulous> tweeze: how are you trying to install it, and whats going wrong
[07:06] <tweeze> trying to install using sudo apt-get install ipac-ng, it is just saying can't find package ipac-ng
[07:06] <bazhang> munin-plugins-extra seems to contain ipac-ng tweeze
[07:06] <humungulous> tweeze: are you certain it exists in any repository
[07:07] <humungulous> tweeze: or are you just stabbing in the dark
[07:07] <Mayazcherquoi> Time for my 11th f**king reinstall...
[07:07] <bazhang> Mayazcherquoi, no cursing here
[07:07] <Mayazcherquoi> No cursing, I censored myself.
[07:07] <tweeze> humungulous: lol i'm following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMonitorInternetTrafficTotals
[07:07] <humungulous> checking
[07:07] <bazhang> Mayazcherquoi, no obfuscated swearing either please
[07:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Oh well, you'd probably be doing the same if you were in my position
[07:08] <humungulous> ok, so
[07:08] <humungulous> tweeze: in /etc/apt/sources.list did you uncomment the Universe repos
[07:08] <tweeze> humungulous: also tried sudo aptitude install ipac-ng
[07:09] <zykotick9> tweeze: did you see bazhang's comment above?
[07:09] <bazhang> tweeze, did you not see my comment about munin-plugins-extra
[07:10] <tweeze> humungulous: sorry, did not see that, trying that now
[07:10] <humungulous> tweeze: never mind
[07:10] <humungulous> tweeze: do what bazhang said
[07:11] <tweeze> sorry, looking through the past logs now
[07:12] <humungulous> tweeze: he wants you to sudo apt-get install munin-plugins-extra
[07:12] <humungulous> i believe
[07:12] <tweeze> humungulous: allright, did that
[07:12] <humungulous> and?
[07:13] <tweeze> still can't find that package when i run apt-get install ipac-ng
[07:15] <humungulous> i dont match ipac-ng in any package in any suite using ubuntu package search
[07:15] <tweeze> humungulous: huh.  well those instructions are a bit misleading then
[07:15] <bazhang> !find ipac-ng | tweeze
[07:16] <bazhang> tweeze, it's part of the install of munin-plugins-extra
[07:16] <tweeze> so are those directions for setting up traffic monitoring wrong
[07:17] <sacarlson> tweeze: i used ipac-ng back in like 2008 but later is seems it was no longer supported in ubuntu when I moved to 10.04.  is it working again?
[07:17] <gaby> hello - i have made mass with my ubuntu and i dont know what is it - can any body tell me how to get back the first mood of ubuntu
[07:17] <tweeze> oh i have no idea, really all i'm trying to do is get some network monitoring up in here
[07:17] <humungulous> tweeze: mrtg
[07:18] <bazhang> http://www.darkcoding.net/software/setting-up-munin-on-ubuntu/ tweeze you mean this?
[07:18] <sacarlson> tweeze: you just want to see the total trafic or do you want to single out one ip usage ?
[07:18] <humungulous> gaby: depending on how deep a mass you made, you can reinstall
[07:19] <tweeze> sacarlson: i want to be able to see total traffic on my networkd
[07:19] <sacarlson> tweeze: I now mostly use cacti to track most trafic nodes with smtp from each node
[07:20] <gaby> humungulous : i can reinstall because i have many things for work and i dont know how to recover it or back it up
[07:20] <gaby> i think i installed some Environments and need to remove it
[07:20] <tweeze> sacarlson: ok i can try that out, or i can try mrtg
[07:23] <tweeze> thanks all you guys!  this was a wonderful first irc chat experience!
[07:23] <sacarlson> tweeze: mrtg looks very similar to cacti from what I see from a quick google,  I've just never used it
[07:23] <cas> Hi, my resolf.conf get being reset even I don't have HDCP. Is there a new way to configure DNS servers staticly? (I use 12.04)
[07:25] <humungulous> cas: #ubuntu+1
[07:25] <cas> humungulous: Thanks
[07:28] <sacarlson> cas: I think to set static you need to kill networkmanager,  is that the problem?
[07:33] <cas> sacarlson: could be, but it's a server version
[07:33] <sacarlson> cas: I just run a script when I want to be static http://paste.ubuntu.com/860195/  but I'm sure there are other better ways
[07:34] <humungulous> cas: you can manipulate /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[07:35] <humungulous> cas: oh wait you said not dhcp
[07:36] <Angablade> Anyone have a suggestions for an app to sync to my iphone with on ubuntu?
[07:36] <sacarlson> cas: for a permanent change maybe look at something like this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/static-ip-under-ubuntu-11-10-a-918165/
[07:42] <urgodfather> will someone help me get wireless working on this laptop
[07:42] <Etherael> Anyone know the command to reconfigure networking frmo the shell (the one that would have happened during initial system install but was not working at the time)
[07:42] <urgodfather> it shows in lspci but is "missing firmware"
[07:43] <humungulous> Etherael: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[07:43] <humungulous> urgodfather: no idea
[07:44] <gaby> iam trying to remove some Environments but i cant - can any one help me please
[07:44] <Etherael> humungulous: So there's no way to actually go through the text based UI after install?
[07:44] <sacarlson> urgodfather: if it's hard to setup then it must be a broadcom wifi device,  I'm not sure there is a 100% solution for all of them
[07:44] <urgodfather> it is broadcom
[07:45] <humungulous> Etherael: appears no
[07:45] <Etherael> humungulous: Ok, thanks.
[07:45] <humungulous> gaby: what did you type to install them
[07:45] <urgodfather> the laptop has internal and i have one shoved in the pcmia slot too b/c i cant get internet on it
[07:45] <humungulous> Etherael: bit its not hard to do by editing the underlying config files
[07:45] <urgodfather> the cat5 port is bad
[07:46] <humungulous> Etherael: /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf, etc
[07:46] <Gitzo> does skype work for ubuntu?
[07:46] <Etherael> humungulous: Yeah I can figure it out, just prefer to use the UI if it's available.
[07:46] <CFHowlett> Gitzo   yes
[07:47] <sacarlson> urgodfather: I see articles like this http://techie-buzz.com/foss/wifi-ubuntu-install-broadcom-drivers.html  if that method fails just keep your other device pluged in and wait for better drivers to apear
[07:48] <CFHowlett> sacarlson   just got into the irc after reintstalling broadcom - can i help?
[07:48] <sacarlson> CFHowlett: sure talk to urgodfather to give him the secreets
[07:48] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   I just installed broadcom (again) - can I help?
[07:49] <urgodfather> sure
[07:49] <urgodfather> by all means :)
[07:49] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   buntu version?
[07:49] <gaby> any help ?
[07:50] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   ?
[07:50] <urgodfather> 11.10
[07:50] <urgodfather> first boot no upgrades
[07:51] <gaby> i typedsudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop       and       sudo apt-get install lxde
[07:51] <humungulous> gaby: so sudo apt-get remove kde-plasma-desktop lxde
[07:51] <gaby> and i tried now to remove it - but its always telling me that it cant be removed
[07:51] <ZenBalance> I just upgraded my 11.10 version and I am now stuck with grub that only tells me: "error: out of disk , you need to boot the kernel first" tried Boot-Repair and mounting in the terminal
[07:51] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   OK, I installed on 10.04.4 without no internet connection following this tutorial  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[07:51] <humungulous> gaby: what it say
[07:53] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   I used STA - No Internet access and grabbed all 4 debs from the boot usb, dpkg'd rebooted and voila
[07:53] <gaby> Package lxde is not installed, so not removed
[07:53] <gaby> Package kde-plasma-desktop is not installed, so not removed
[07:53] <gaby> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
[07:54] <urgodfather> cfhowlett i have dvd, not usb... how do i grab from?
[07:55] <humungulous> gaby: ubuntu version?
[07:55] <gaby> 11.10
[07:55] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   I just dragged them from the usb to the desktop and clicked on them.  Note: there is a sequence bcmwl-kernel wanted to download the other debs.  No deb, no download.  Install patch, dkms and the other one before bcmwl-kernel
[07:56] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   you did get the url I sent?
[07:57] <urgodfather> yes but ur talkin way over my head... still getting familiar to linux
[07:57] <sacarlson> urgodfather: I thought that device still had internet from your pcmci slot device, can't he  use the b43-fwcutter method if it does CFHowlett, that was also in that article you gave him
[07:57] <humungulous> gaby: should be in ~/.xinitrc
[07:57] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   ok, lemme slow down.
[07:58] <humungulous> gaby: can also try startx /usr/bin/gnome-session
[07:58] <CFHowlett> sacarlson   yeah, the article includes b43, sta and fwcutter methods
[07:58] <sacarlson> CFHowlett: ok
[07:58] <urgodfather> please do :)
[07:59] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   ok, let's identify your wifi set.  In your terminal type lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[07:59] <CFHowlett> hit enter and then paste for us
[07:59] <CFHowlett> !paste|urgodfather
[08:00] <gaby> humungulous : it tells me that user is not allowed to run Xserver
[08:00] <urgodfather> im on a different pc
[08:00] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   just about to ask that .. what is the text after
[08:00] <CFHowlett> Broadcom Corporation
[08:01] <urgodfather> 4318
[08:01] <urgodfather> supported device
[08:01] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   brilliant!
[08:01] <urgodfather> thats why i kept it
[08:01] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   according to our handy dandy tutorial, you need the b43 package
[08:02] <CFHowlett> urgodfather    so moving to the b43 No Internet Access ...
[08:02] <sgo11> hi, after setuid and setgid for a directory, how to remove them? first, I did sudo chmod 6755 dir. works fine. then I tried sudo chmod 0755 dir. it does not work. any ideas? thanks.
[08:03] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   Step 1 identifies two files that we need.  Find them on your dvd and copy em to your desktop
[08:03] <sgo11> ls
[08:03] <ZenIRCBot> sgo11: http://is.gd/afolif
[08:03] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   am I making sense?
[08:04] <urgodfather> yeah...
[08:05] <urgodfather> i tried the command like a ding dong
[08:05] <sgo11> ZenIRCBot, ?
[08:05] <urgodfather> lol
[08:05] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   drag and drop works too  :)
[08:05] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   you found both files?
[08:05] <NyLes> i installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my laptop, how will i add icons on the luncher at the left?
[08:06] <NyLes> i installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my laptop, how will i add icons/shortcuts on the luncher at the left?
[08:06] <urgodfather> yeah
[08:06] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   so you should be at two files with a .deb suffix, right?
[08:06] <urgodfather> gottem
[08:07] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   double click on b43-fwcutter.  that'l launch the extraction/installation
[08:07] <urfr332gO> NyLes, when the icon is there when open right click it then add to launcher I believe.
[08:07] <urfr332gO> NyLes, or keep in launcher.
[08:07] <daniilr> Hello eveyone
[08:08] <urgodfather> b43cutter? i thought i needed dkms
[08:08] <NyLes> urfr332gO: when the icon is THERE? where?
[08:08] <NyLes> urfr332gO: ooohh ok thanks..
[08:08] <urfr332gO> NyLes, when the app is open you want to add.
[08:09] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   no I needed dkms for the STA driver.  YOU need the b43 driver ...
[08:09] <NyLes> urfr332gO: can i also switch their places?
[08:09] <urfr332gO> NyLes, yeah some drag up and down.
[08:09] <urgodfather> i see
[08:09] <NyLes> urfr332gO: im trying to drag them but all of them are moving lol
[08:10] <sgo11> forget my question. found the answer. use -s instead of chmod 0755
[08:11] <urfr332gO> NyLes, I believe you left click them, then with the click held down drag them to the desktop slighlty then to where youwant then then release the click.
[08:11] <mister2> hey guys, i know there's a program for this but i can't remember the name. i want to export select programs from my current ubuntu install with dependencies so i can install them on another system... thoughts? dependencies are none essential, and i know about the cache and that i can simply copy things that way.
[08:11] <mister2> urfr332g0, about my lan issue earlier with it not showing up it was because i had lan disabled in the bios.... "saving power" i believe was te thought behind that xD
[08:11] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   how's it looking?
[08:12] <NyLes> urfr332gO: thanks so i need to wait before dragging thanks so much..
[08:12] <urgodfather> i just installed b43-cutter
[08:13] <urgodfather> fwcutter
[08:13] <CFHowlett> alright same process to patch
[08:13] <urfr332gO> NyLes, I used unity for a long time but had another bar I used regularly and just use gnome 3 now, so I'm not hip on all the controls.
[08:13] <daniilr> I want to report bug but I d ont know which package is problematic.Kernel I think. My keyboard NUM LOCK LED got crazy. It glows in the rhythm of music. Sory for my English :3
[08:13] <daniilr> sorry*
[08:13] <NyLes> urfr332gO: but you're good thanks..
[08:14] <urgodfather> cfhowlett, patched
[08:14] <daniilr> Well, not in rhythm of music, just chaotic
[08:15] <NyLes> can i use empathy to chat in IRC?
[08:15] <daniilr> Ubuntu 12.04
[08:15] <mister2> hey guys, i know there's a program for this but i can't remember the name. i want to export select programs from my current ubuntu install with dependencies so i can install them on another system... thoughts? dependencies are none essential, and i know about the cache and that i can simply copy things that way.
[08:15] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   moving to step 2: see those 2 files?  get em, copy em (usb is fine) drop em on your desktop
[08:15] <NyLes> can i use empathy to chat in IRC? how to edit the timeout in grub? and how will i know if ubuntu is using the right driver for my video card?
[08:15] <CFHowlett> NyLes   no
[08:16] <CFHowlett> NyLes   no empathy irc solution yet.
[08:16] <NyLes> CFHowlett: thanks..
[08:16] <NyLes>  how to edit the timeout in grub? and how will i know if ubuntu is using the right driver for my video card?
[08:17] <urgodfather> gottem
[08:17] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   drop em in your /home
[08:17] <vkgdre> Hi, I wonder why grub sometimes need interaction when booting. Usually it just starts the default/only kernel entry, but after changes to the kernel it appears to need me to press enter once. This is not very convenient, as I use the computer without keyboard (or monitor)
[08:18] <urgodfather> done
[08:18] <masterlord65> Hi everyone. I have wery intresting problem with my ubuntu 11.10 server. i try making partition on one of the disks sda or sdd. everything is ok but... after restart system dont see new partition. if i come again to to cfdisk (or fdisk) i see that partition exist.... bud i dont see him on /dev....
[08:18] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   step 3: easiest method is to copy/paste those commands.  Do not include the ~$
[08:18] <Mayazcherquoi> Is 12.04 stable for daily use?
[08:18] <NyLes> keyboard shortcut for terminal?
[08:18] <CFHowlett> !precise|Mayazcherquoi
[08:18] <CFHowlett> Mayazcherquoi   no
[08:18] <urgodfather> different pc
[08:18] <Mayazcherquoi> CTRL+ALT+T
[08:19] <Mayazcherquoi> CFHowlett: Okay, thank you
[08:19] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   wait what?  /
[08:19] <daniilr> Mayazcherquoi: NO. Don't use it
[08:19] <CFHowlett> Mayazcherquoi   it's not even in beta yet   :)
[08:20] <Mayazcherquoi> Was just wondering, cos' this 11.10 is completely stuffed :P
[08:20] <_nullthree> Agreed with the don't use sentiment; it's still too early to use 12.04
[08:20] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   copy and paste a text file and usb that to the machine we're fixing
[08:20] <NyLes> how will I know if Ubuntu is using the right driver for m video card?
[08:20] <Mayazcherquoi> Anyways, I have to shut down to reinstall Ubuntu for the 11th time :-/
[08:20] <dos000> is it possible to route the traffic through an ubuntu guest running on a windows guest (using vmaware) ?
[08:20] <Mayazcherquoi> s/install/format/;
[08:21] <urgodfather> i got a fail on 2nd command
[08:22] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" ??
[08:22] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   that one?
[08:22] <urgodfather> typo
[08:22] <urgodfather> got it
[08:23]  * CFHowlett I DID suggest copy & paste, right?
[08:23] <vkgdre> Doen anyone know why GRUB sometimes (I believe after kernel updates/changes) wants me to press enter to boot?
[08:23] <vkgdre> I have not changed the default configuration
[08:23] <Mayazcherquoi> vkgdre: It's probably just the timeout?
[08:23] <Mayazcherquoi> Do you want it to skip pressing enter and boot straight into Ubuntu?
[08:24] <urgodfather> finished step 3
[08:24] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   OK then Step 4: make it so!
[08:24] <Mayazcherquoi> CFHowlett: Would you advise removing Unity if you plan on just using gnome-shel?
[08:24] <urgodfather> i got lights!!
[08:24] <masterlord65> who can help my with specific problem in partitioning disks ? after restart system dont see new partitions
[08:25] <urfr332gO> !nounity | Mayazcherquoi
[08:25] <sacarlson> vkgdre: I noticed that and seems on the next boot it again has a timeout of 10 secounds, not sure what makes the timeout condition change
[08:25] <vkgdre> Mayazcherquoi: Usually the computer just boots without any interaction needed, but sometimes it just stops in the GRUB menu, without any working timeout. Pressing enter once makes it boot as expected (without keypresses) for the next times, until the kernel is changed again (I believe)
[08:25] <Mayazcherquoi> urfr332gO: I know how to install it...
[08:25] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   *patiently awaiting a status report*
[08:26] <Mayazcherquoi> I was wondering if an aptitude purge on suitable .*unity.* packages would be advisable?
[08:26] <urgodfather> tried to activate the driver... got an error then no proprietary drivers are in use on this syster
[08:26] <vkgdre> sacarlson: yes strange, I believe it might have something to do with remembering the default enttry or something like that
[08:26] <urfr332gO> Mayazcherquoi, youi can remove unity but it is not advised really, it is rather small.
[08:26] <Mayazcherquoi> Okay.
[08:26] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   reboot
[08:26] <Mayazcherquoi> vkgdre: gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[08:26] <CFHowlett> Mayazcherquoi   feel free to install another DE - just leave unity in place.
[08:26] <Mayazcherquoi> vkgdre: And check GRUB_TIMEOUT :)
[08:27] <sacarlson> vkgdre: I was manipulating things in grub or I had installed some new package that must have trigered it, but only one time
[08:27] <Mayazcherquoi> CFHowlett: But why though, if I'm not going to use it at all? :s
[08:27] <urgodfather> but i CAN see networks so im gonna try to login to mine
[08:27] <sacarlson> opps no more power I got to go.  laters all
[08:27] <CFHowlett> Mayazcherquoi   it's tiny and IMHO not worth the risk of breaking something via removal.  YMMV
[08:28] <zykotick9> Mayazcherquoi: if you remove Unity i imagine it would remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, which can cause issues for upgrading to new release
[08:28] <Mayazcherquoi> CFHowlett && zykotick9: Ohk. Thank you :)
[08:28] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   do step 5 commands.
[08:29] <Mayazcherquoi> vkgdre: If you modify that file (e.g. by setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to '0'), then don't forget to run "sudo update-grub" :)
[08:29] <Mayazcherquoi> Anyways, bbl, reformatting my Ubuntu :P
[08:29] <urgodfather> its connected
[08:29] <urgodfather> havent done them yet
[08:30] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   but you've got wifi???
[08:30] <urgodfather> yup
[08:30] <urgodfather> its on
[08:30] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   A li'l momento for your efforts: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/Pictures/Success.jpg
[08:31] <vkgdre> Mayazcherquoi: the issue is GRUB apparently does not respect the timeout settings after kernel changes/other modifications
[08:31] <urgodfather> nice lol
[08:32] <urgodfather> now i gotta find a way to update this bios b/c i dont have a floppy
[08:32] <urgodfather> http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?driverID=R52072&FileId=2731127916
[08:32] <urgodfather> that's my choices... i just want the bin out of it but dunno how i can get it
[08:33] <CFHowlett> urgodfather save that page.  Hell, download it and save it in a dropbox/ubuntuone file - you will see it again.  :)
[08:34] <urgodfather_> this is pc #2
[08:34] <CFHowlett> urgodfather Dell has a linux bios update utility somewhere...

[08:37] <zykotick9> masterlord65: with fdisk are you using "w" to write the change(s)?

[08:43] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys, I'm trying to remember this package (but I can't and was hoping someone could lend an assist!). It was a game which, given X numbers (I think between 2 and 6 numbers), would try to make an equation out of those numbers which meets a user-set target. What was it called? :S I believe it begins with 'F', but I forget :-/
[08:45] <masterlord65>   if anyone  can help with partitioning drives.
[08:45] <masterlord65>  System after  a reboot does not  see created  the partition.

[08:53] <pyrosrock_> can anyone tell me how to navigate the precise interface without a mouse?
[08:53] <saders> Hi there, I have installed ruby 1.9.3-p125 using "rvm", it says it succesfully fetches the files compiles and installs, but when I type on console "ruby -v" to see if it is installed, it says not such a package installed and does not work, does anyone have an idea about it?
[08:53] <CFHowlett> !precise|pyrosrock_
[08:54] <saders> I am using ubuntu 11.10 32bit by the way
[08:54] <CFHowlett> pyrosrock_   precise isn't even in beta and most of the people in this channel aren't using it.
[08:54] <masterlord65> Jordan_U in fact no :(
[08:54] <crizzy> pyrosrock_: #ubuntu+1
[08:54] <pyrosrock_> ok where do i go? CUHowlett

[08:57] <theadmin> Jordan_U: It's paste.ubuntu.com, not pastebin.ubuntu.com
[08:57] <prashs> I have installed ubuntu as wubi. Suddenly getting problem while loading - grub CLI comes and if i type boot it says no kernel found. How to resolve this? Thanks!!
[08:57] <theadmin> Owait
[08:57] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Never mind lol
[08:58] <theadmin> masterlord65: If you are using a non-English system, please run "export LANG=C" before running any commands, so that we can see the output in English (and make sense of it)
[08:59] <Jordan_U> prashs: Are you still able to boot Windows?
[09:00] <prashs> Jordan_U : Yes. I am able to
[09:00] <Jordan_U> prashs: Do you have any important files in your Wubi install?
[09:01] <prashs> if i do ls /boot/ it shows nothing. Yes, i do have some files :-/
[09:01] <prashs> Jordan_U : If i can recover some files, that will also be good.
[09:01] <Coke> Is 11.10 unstable and LTS the stable for ubuntu?
[09:02] <almoxarife> prashs: look here, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10
[09:02] <Jordan_U> prashs: OK. Do you know where those files are within Ubuntu? It's pretty easy to backup the files from Wubi using an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB, and then I'd recommend doing a normal dual boot rather than using Wubi.
[09:02] <Coke> Just tried the 11.10 download and aside from Empathy not connecting to jabber and thunderbird crashing, the overall experience was pretty laggy, is it possible LTS could solve this?
[09:02] <zykotick9> Coke: ubuntu is not debian, there is no "stable" ubuntu.  11.10 is a regular release vs. LTS
[09:03] <Coke> zykotick9: ok. well, the regular release is way to unstable for proper use, is LTS more stable?
[09:03] <ashok_shetty> unknowingly i removed some files from computer janitor now my vlc is not wrking, any one tel me how to fix it
[09:04] <zykotick9> Coke: Lucid would be yes, the next LTS i doubt it.
[09:04] <Coke> zykotick9: how come?
[09:04] <almoxarife> ashok_shetty: re-install vlc?
[09:04] <zykotick9> Coke: 12.04 is using unity
[09:04] <prashs> almoxarife : Thanks!! This version is 10.10. So can download the one in the link you mentioned?
[09:05] <almoxarife> prashs: what is version 10.10? ubuntu or wubi.exe?
[09:05] <Coke> zykotick9: eh. I'm a slackware / archlinux user, I don't know those fancy names for window managers and desktops. My experience with gnome so far is crashy-crash-crash and rendering errors.
[09:05] <Coke> zykotick9: I just want a system that doesn't have every other app crash
[09:05] <ashok_shetty> almoxarife@im getting error wen i reinstalling like "package vlc has no installation candidate"
[09:05] <zykotick9> Coke: if you value "stability" ubuntu might not be the distro for you
[09:05] <prashs> almoxarife : wubi.exe . 10.10
[09:06] <Coke> zykotick9: but everybody keeps saying it's a good way to replace windows
[09:06] <Coke> but tbh, windows 7 is WAY more stable
[09:06] <prashs> almoxarife : I mean i installed Ubuntu 10.10 from wubi.exe file.
[09:06] <zykotick9> Coke: "everybody" is not always right.  And that's usually coming from former-MS users, that might not know better.
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: gotcha. well, I havent used non-free systems since 97-98
[09:07] <prashs> Jordan_U : Ya i know the location. Do i need to know the exact device detail like sda etc or just location like /home/username/Desktop ?
[09:07] <zykotick9> Coke: lol, ubuntu is non-free.
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: my standards are pretty high. if ANY software on my computer crashes more than once within 10 years, I think it's shit
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: I havent used ubuntu
[09:07] <almoxarife> prashs: i would try to use the instructions given
[09:07] <prashs> Jordan_U : I know the latter one only.
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: im evaluating to see if it will give me more or less headache than winblows
[09:07] <Coke> so far it's not looking promising.
[09:07] <prashs> almoxarife : Fine. But that says its for 9.10. Can i go ahead and give a try for 10.10?
[09:07] <Jordan_U> prashs: Just /home/username/Desktop/. More than that is needed to get at the files, but I can help you with everything else :)
[09:08] <Coke> I also tried LinuxMint, but Gnome3 keeps crashing leaving "dead" windows.
[09:08] <almoxarife> prashs: yes, for 'wubi' the installer, not ubuntu, two different things
[09:08] <prashs> Jordan_U : Cool. Its enough if i get just one folder :)
[09:08] <ashok_shetty> unknowingly i removed some files from computer janitor now my vlc is not wrking, any one tel me how to fix it
[09:08] <zykotick9> Coke: mint is based on ubuntu, don't expect any difference in stability between them
[09:09] <Coke> zykotick9: so, stability isn't a priority any more for users then? they gave up?
[09:09] <prashs> almoxarife : Sorry , cant get you.
[09:10] <zykotick9> Coke: most ubuntu/mint people suffer from !sns
[09:10] <Coke> zykotick9: what is sns ?
[09:10] <zykotick9> Coke: it's a debian factoid
[09:10] <prashs> Jordan_U : Can i do like booting from USB Stick and try to get the device in which Ubuntu is installed and fetch the data?
[09:11] <almoxarife> prashs: you are confusing the version number of 'wubi' a windows installer with 'ubuntu' the OS, 'wubi.exe' is what the 9.10 is refering to
[09:11] <Coke> zykotick9: dpkg does not want to give a reply
[09:11] <Coke> zykotick9: but basically, with ubuntu being less stable than Windows I'll have to look elsewhere, is what youre saying?
[09:11] <Coke> zykotick9: and also stay clear of ubuntu based spin-offs, I guess.
[09:11] <Jordan_U> prashs: Yes. If you can do it soon I can walk you through it (I'm planning to go to sleep soon).
[09:12] <zykotick9> Coke: up to you.
[09:12] <prashs> almoxarife : Oh Sorry :) Fine then :)
[09:12] <prashs> Jordan_U : Have booted in USB
[09:12] <Coke> zykotick9: got any recommendations? I can always shove in slackware 13.37, it WORKS 100% all the time, but it requires a lot of post install work
[09:12] <Jordan_U> prashs: OK. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"?
[09:12] <prashs> almoxarife : Will try to do that . Trying USB right now :)
[09:12] <almoxarife> prashs: as you please
[09:13] <prashs> Jordan_U : Just a sec. Right now in different maching. Will switch the internet to the ubuntu machine. be right back in 1 min.
[09:15] <jessie> unknowingly i removed some files from computer janitor now my vlc is not wrking, any one tel me how to fix it
[09:18] <zykotick9> jessie: if you start vlc from a terminal to you get an error message of some sort?

[09:22] <NyLes> hi, i have an ATI video card, and Ubuntu only use vesa, how will  i force ubuntu to use ati driver?
[09:23] <NyLes> or can someone tell me how to generate a Xorg.conf? coz i don't have 1..
[09:23] <amanATdesk> I've recently installed gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 and I am having difficulty figuring out why on occasions nautilus does not respond when I right-click and select "extract here" over rar files, even though I have installed the correct software to allow it do work with rar files (and this has been tested and shown to work).
[09:23] <faLUCE>  hi. is there an utility/command that shows the average power compsumption of the CPU? (kW/h)
[09:23] <crizzy> faLUCE: powertop shows something
[09:26] <amanATdesk> Also, out of gnome 3 shell and unity 3d, which would you guys say is the quicker and less resource hungry? I've used both and although I like the look of them I would appreciate it more if they were nippier.
[09:26] <faLUCE> crizzy: it doesn't show the power in watt
[09:27] <dani_> hey

[09:30] <prashs> Jordan_U : 59GB partition is the one were ubuntu is installed
[09:31] <almoxarife> prashs Jordan_U, wubi istalled ubuntu here /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
[09:32] <yawstick_1> I deleted the status bar at the bottom where minimized programs usually show
[09:32] <theadmin> prashs: Ok, in that partition, there is a file ubuntu/disks/root.disk. loopmount it and grab your files
[09:32] <yawstick_1> using ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop
[09:33] <yawstick_1> now if i minimize a program cant get it back

[09:34] <windowss> hi
[09:35] <almoxarife> prashs: Jordan_U: theadmin: i suggest you all read this, especially the very end of the blog, http://www.omaregan.com/?p=608
[09:35] <theadmin> almoxarife: I know how wubi works, thanks lol
[09:36] <pengw> where i can find a hacking channel ?
[09:37] <Jordan_U> prashs: Those two outputs taken together seem impossible to me at the moment. I may be too tired to help.
[09:37] <almoxarife> theadmin: if you did you would know that the 'wubidldr' fix is the one that works, i know, i used it many times after going the circles with livecd!
[09:37] <pengw> or  a assembly language channel ?
[09:37] <theadmin> pengw: If you mean "hacking" as in "gaining access to a system with unauthorized means", it's offtopic on Freenode
[09:38] <Jordan_U> prashs: The thing that is confusing me is that you have an msdos partition table with 4 primary partitions, yet you somehow *also* have partittions 5 and 6 on the same drive. Maybe I'll be able to help you tomorrow when I'm more awake.
[09:38] <BlueWolf> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I would Like to know how to add a new Log on screen?
[09:39] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Um, huh? (s)he only has 4 partitions according to parted output
[09:40] <prashs> Jordan_U : Sure, thanks !! :) Will check the loopmount and the wubildr method till then :) Thanks for your help !!
[09:40] <Jordan_U> theadmin: Yes, but look at the blkid output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/860276/
[09:41] <theadmin> Jordan_U: ...Weirdness. I can only guess that wubi creates fake partitions. Not sure though.
[09:41] <theadmin> ...though they're all ntfs
[09:42] <theadmin> Odd.
[09:42] <BlueWolf> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I would Like to know how to add a new Log on screen? Help
[09:42] <almoxarife> theadmin: wubi created partion /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
[09:42] <zaufi> hi all! I'm trying to setup my repository for amd64 oneiric, but apt-get update trying to access binary-i386 dir on target server (wich is definitely amd64!) -- anyone have idea WHY???
[09:43] <prashs> theadmin : mount says Input/Output error. Means its corrupted? :-o
[09:43] <theadmin> prashs: Wut are you trying to mount exactly?
[09:43] <prashs> theadmin : root.dsk
[09:44] <theadmin> prashs: How, what's the command?
 prashs: Wut are you trying to mount exactly?  partion /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
[09:44] <Jordan_U> theadmin: Wubi does not create fake partitions.
[09:45] <theadmin> prashs: Wait, are you on LiveCD now?
[09:45] <almoxarife> Jordan_U: wubi created partion /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
[09:45] <Jordan_U> almoxarife: No. That's part of the LiveCD/USB.
[09:45] <prashs> sudo mount -o loop /media/D498B8AF98B8920A/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /vdisk/
[09:45] <theadmin> prashs: That looks about right to me
[09:46] <almoxarife> Jordan_U: perhaps, but it is what wubi also creates /dev/loop0
[09:46] <theadmin> prashs: Yes, it does look like it's corrupted then :(
[09:46] <theadmin> almoxarife: We're not currently in a wubi setup, so that node has nothing to do with wubi
[09:46] <Jordan_U> almoxarife: Yes. They both use loop mounting.
[09:46] <prashs> theadmin : Hmm. So must be corrupted? :-o
[09:47] <Jordan_U> prashs: Does the directory /vdisk/ exist?
[09:47] <theadmin> prashs: Probably, check the path though (I don't exactly remember whether wubi uses american or brithish spelling (i.e. "disk" or "disc")
[09:47] <prashs> Jordan_U : I created one manually
[09:48] <almoxarife> prashs: before you completely trash your install follow the directions of the blog, you can always get all script-kiddie with it if that simple fix does not work, or not, i am done
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: should be disk, disc is a removable media :)

[09:49] <pengw> hi all
[09:49] <prashs> almoxarife : ya sure. wubildr replacement is the next step. But it looks like root.dsk is corrupted right? So replacing it , will it have effect on root.dsk. :-/ Both are like independent to each other rigt
[09:49] <pengw> I have  a problem
[09:50] <pengw> I try to install my ubuntu on a usb stick
[09:50] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Remember /dev/discs? :P
[09:50] <almoxarife> prashs: no, the corruption is on the windows side
[09:50] <lyscer> I am seeing the following in my mail.info log, any idea how to resolve it? certificate verification failed for aspmx.l.google.com[74.125.115.26]:25: untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
[09:51] <prashs> almoxarife : So why am i unable to mount root.dsk in Ubuntu now? :(
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: looks like some WRT thing
[09:51] <prashs> theadmin : Path exist
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> pengw: use unetbootin
[09:52] <pengw> thx
[09:52] <almoxarife> prashs: follow the instructions on the blog link, its a simple replacement of one file!, then we can play ifs
[09:52] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: There used to be /dev/discs/disc0/part3 => /dev/sda4 style stuff in /dev earlier. Old though. Not so sure what was responsible for those either (udev? hal? kernel?... idk)
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> pengw: remember to MD5 test the ISO too
[09:52] <prashs> almoxarife : He he..ya sure.. brb...will do that and come :)
[09:52] <sudipta> how to recover the user  password in ubuntu from login shell?
[09:52] <BlueWolf> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I would Like to know how to add a new Log on screen? Can anyone help please?
[09:52] <almoxarife> prashs: fine
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: wasn't aware of that
[09:52] <theadmin> sudipta: You can't really recover it, you can change it though
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: you mean a new background image?
[09:53] <sudipta> theadmin:how?
[09:53] <theadmin> !password | sudipta
[09:53] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip, Ya for the Log in Menu.

[09:55] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: remember to run the last command when you log back in
[09:55] <big_balls_2> hello, uh, I want to configure the listbox where it says "Ubuntu" , "Ubuntu Classic" , "KDE" etc
[09:55] <big_balls_2> I can't seem to find the file on disk where this happens
[09:55] <big_balls_2> any ideas ?
[09:56] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: And it will take me through everything?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: yes..
[09:56] <theadmin> big_balls_2: Stuff under /usr/share/xsessions/ for oneiric and later
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: basically, it makes the wallpaper chooser run on the login screen which is dead handy. You can also change the colour of the login box in the same dialogue
[09:59] <myjimmyweb> anyone know how to enable mbstrings via apt-get?
[09:59] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip:  I have another problem - I was installing themes to see which one would suit me and I was mixing and matching. I then removed all of the themes to add a new one and its saying this; Installation for theme "Overglossed" failed. Can't move directory over directory. What does this mean?
[09:59] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Looking at the "lucid", I take it this guide would only work for pre-Oneiric releases, though.
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: indeed, but the user is using Lucid so its all groovy
[10:00] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah k
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: no idea, I theme very little. Doesn't interest me. Sorry
[10:02] <theadmin> How do you pronounce "oneiric" anyway? Where's the stressed syllable? "onEyrik"? "Oneyrik"? "one-E-rik"?
[10:02] <prashs> almoxarife : Sadly ,it dint work
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> on-E-i-rik  here
[10:02] <big_balls_2> theadmin: I'm on 11.04
[10:02] <big_balls_2> theadmin: is that natty ?
[10:03] <theadmin> big_balls_2: Yeah.
[10:03] <almoxarife> prashs: brought you back to the same place?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> http://www.thefreedictionary.com/oneiric    seems to be o-ny-rik
[10:03] <theadmin> big_balls_2: Oh, apparently it's the same directory though
[10:03] <llutz> theadmin: "e-leven-ten"
[10:03] <theadmin> llutz: Heheh
[10:03] <lyscer> I am trying to forward mail sent to my domain and it it forwarded to a google account; It isn't working and the log says "untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority" I've googled and I am stumped
[10:04] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/oneiric   yep, it's o-ny-rick
[10:04] <prashs> almoxarife : Copied that wubildr file. Pasted in the place where i installed ubuntu and replaced already existing file. Thats it right? If so, brought me to grub :(
[10:05] <myjimmyweb> anyone? mbstrings?
[10:05] <|DM|> this goddamned channel is always pinging me.
[10:05] <almoxarife> prashs: no, thats not where it belongs, you would have replaced the existing "wubildr" with the copied one
[10:05] <BlueWolf> 	
[10:06] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the Assist
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: np man
[10:06] <theadmin> prashs: The wubildr file is in the root of the partition you "installed" ubuntu to iirc
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: considering the login screen is around for at most 4 seconds. I don't see the point in changing it personally
[10:08] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: What if (s)he has a 250-character-long password and types it for half an hour? People have their reasons ;)
[10:08] <prashs> existing wubildr? Thats what i did :-/ i replaced this one : '/media/D498B8AF98B8920A/ubuntu/winboot/wubildr'
[10:08] <SEPIDAR> SALAM
[10:08] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: I know, bit stupid. But it looks better none the less. I hate that purple. :D
[10:08] <prashs> where the device mounted is 59GB memory space where ubuntu is installed
[10:09] <almoxarife> prashs: looks like you did something with a live cd?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> prashs: mounty may be able to mount it in GUI for you
[10:11] <Leonessa> ciao a tutti, nessuno scrive italiano?
[10:11] <DJones> !it | Leonessa
[10:11] <prashs> 59 GB hard disk space , where i installed ubuntu, was chosen from places. Thats why it appeared in media as D498B8AF98B8920A
[10:12] <Leonessa> grazie e scusate
[10:12] <almoxarife> prashs: did you replace the file in c:/ ?
[10:13] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: What did I do wrong? - mv: cannot stat `/home/byron/The': No such file or directory
[10:13] <BlueWolf> mv: cannot stat `Blue': No such file or directory
[10:13] <theadmin> BlueWolf: If you haz spaces in the name, you have to quote it, like this: '/home/byron/The Blue/'
[10:13] <zykotick9> BlueWolf: if you have spaces either A) "put double quotes around it" or B) escape\ the\ spaces
[10:14] <theadmin> Or yeah escape, though that's a bit difficult
[10:14] <prashs> almoxarife : I am right now in Ubuntu live OS. that 59GB is nothing but C: in windows
[10:14] <BlueWolf> mv: cannot stat `Wolf.jpg': No such file or directory
[10:14] <BlueWolf> 	
[10:14] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: What did I do wrong?
[10:15] <theadmin> BlueWolf: You were just told. If the filename/path has spaces, it has to be either 'single-quoted', "double-quoted" or escaped\ like\ this
[10:15] <almoxarife> prashs: is there some reason why you cant make the correction as shown in the blog http://www.omaregan.com/?p=608 , as stated?
[10:15] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Sorry how?  -   sudo mv ~/The Blue Wolf.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:16] <theadmin> BlueWolf: sudo mv "~/The Blue Wolf.jpg" "/usr/share/backgrounds" # Basically
[10:17] <theadmin> BlueWolf: You may also use the Tab key to complete filenames: sudo mv ~/The<tab> /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:18] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Is it correct? sudo mv ~/The "Blue" "Wolf.jpg" /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:18] <theadmin> BlueWolf: No... I just stated how: sudo mv "~/The Blue Wolf.jpg" /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:18] <prashs> almoxarife : I did replace  in  the path i told.. found another wubildr file in C: :D similar mistake was pointed out in te blog. Will replace the C:\wubildr and check :)
[10:18] <theadmin> BlueWolf: Quotes around the whole name, not parts of it
[10:18] <almoxarife> prashs: Don't try to open the file. Move the file to "C:\" to replace the faulty "C:\wubildr". (to get to "C:\" go to "My Computer" or "Computer" and double click the "C:drive")
[10:19] <BlueWolf> 	
[10:19] <prashs> almoxarife : be right back
[10:19] <prashs> almoxarife : Ya thats what i am going to do
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: your file has a space in it which needs escaping, you don't actually need to move the file either
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> I've seen lots of guides for speeding up ubuntu by installing the preload package, does this actually make things faster or is it a hangup from older reelases??
[10:21] <Guest9068> I am new here can anybody help me?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: ask away
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> !info preload
[10:22] <Guest9068> ActionParsnip, can you please get me on the track?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: not without details....
[10:23] <theadmin> Guest9068: What is your problem?
[10:24] <Guest9068> I am new to linux and this kind of chart, I just do not know anything. help will be highly appreciated
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: I suggest you just use the OS and get a feel for it
[10:25] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: i use preload, i believe it does help
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: sweet, cheers dude
[10:25] <theadmin> Guest9068: Well, what do you need help with anyway?
[10:25] <prashs> almoxarife : that just brought up one change. instead of grub> i see now as sh:grub> thats it :(
[10:25] <daggs123> hello, I'm using kubuntu 10.04, I've added lucid partner to the sources but I cannot find packages from that source, why?
[10:25] <georgieee> how can I start nautilus after "killall" without having the home folder opened?
[10:26] <Guest9068> I need to create a user name just like you guys
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> !register | Guest9068
[10:26] <theadmin> georgieee: nautilus --no-default-window
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: you need to use the nick command to grab a free nick, then register it. By default your client will use your username
[10:27]  * MonkeyDust ruined ubuntu 3D
[10:27] <jnwhiteh> So, my Thinkpad has this lovely 'feature'. If I press any four keys on the same row in succession (such as 4567) then it produces an earsplitting beep in my headphones. I've removed pcspkr, I've muted it in almamixer, nothing seems to get rid of it.
[10:28] <jnwhiteh> Here's an article about removing it on Windows, but I can't find an Ubuntu solution: http://www.intelliot.com/2006/12/thinkpad-keyboard-beeps-fixed/
[10:28] <qbitza> Hi Guys, can anyone help with Reminna?
[10:28] <georgieee> theadmin thanks!
[10:28] <qbitza> Remmina even
[10:29] <theadmin> georgieee: np. The opposite of this command is "nautilus --no-desktop" by the way (start the filemanager, but don't attempt to manage the desktop)
[10:29] <qbitza> Reinstalled the package and now RDP plugin is missing
[10:29] <qbitza> even though Synaptic says it's there
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> qbitza: try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install remmina
[10:30] <qbitza> ActionParsnip, perhaps with all the plugin packages too?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> qbitza: have you tried tsclient?
[10:30] <qbitza> ActionParsnip, yes, but I prefer Remmina, as it also includes NX
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> i see
[10:31] <qbitza> ActionParsnip, Also Remmina does a better full screen / windowed RDP than tsclient
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> or rdesktop maybe..
[10:31] <Mayazcherquoi> Soo, umm, how do I enable restricted software again? :S
[10:31] <almoxarife> prashs: now i would consider root.disk corrupt, and root.disk is a file in windows, so you need to ask your self if its worth the time to repair or re-install, you could keep root.disk by saving it to else-where and then bringing it back into the folder after a fresh install by another name
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: which software?
[10:31] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Wireless drivers
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: for broadcom wifi you mean?
[10:32] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: I have no idea what card is in this machine. I believe so, though.
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: run:   sudo lshw -C network     does it say: Broadcom 43xx
[10:32] <Mayazcherquoi> The last 10 installs it WiFi seemed to work fine.
[10:33] <maahes> can't remember the name of the command which searches the network for ip's.
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> maahes: nmap
[10:34] <almoxarife> !info zenmap
[10:34] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Nevermind, for some reason my hardware wireless switch was off :)
[10:34] <Kartagis> !grub2
[10:35] <maahes> nmap, from what I can tell needs me to specify a target IP
[10:35] <maahes> or rather: how to I get nmap to just look for ip's t might be able to connect to?
[10:35] <llutz> maahes: nmap-sP  192.168.10.0/24
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> maahes: it can scan ranges
[10:36] <llutz> maahes: use your actual network-range
[10:36] <llutz> and add a space nmap -sP
[10:36] <tm_> hi. how do i prevent apparmor messages appearing in dmesg? it is so annoying
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> !details| tm_
[10:42] <wolfric> Reading package lists... Done
[10:42] <wolfric> W: GPG error: http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
[10:42] <maahes> damn, I'm plugged into my wife's time machine, which is plugged into the router, which is plugged into the cable modem. I'm getting nothing on 192.168.0.0 nor 10.1.1.0, anyone know the default ip for time machines?
[10:42] <tm_> ok.. running beta of 12.04. apparmor logs profile-updates to kern.log (i.e. dmesg)
[10:42] <wolfric> not a new install or anything
[10:43] <llutz> tm_: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04
[10:43] <nesta> hy
[10:44] <tm_> iirc the problem is not 12.04-specific
[10:44] <theadmin> tm_: Still, 12.04 is unsupported here. Fixes which work for Oneiric might fail on Precise and vice versa.
[10:45] <tm_> theadmin: s/12.04/11.10/ a solution for oneiric would be ok for me at first
[10:45] <llutz> tm_: check rsyslogd.conf, /etc/rsyslog.d/*
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> tm_: regardless, the release is still not supported here at all until release day
[10:46] <tm_> ActionParsnip: regardless, assume i said 11.10
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> tm_: it doesn't work like that
[10:46] <tm_> what *work*?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> tm_: this channel supports Lucid to Oneiric inclusive, not Precise until release day
[10:47] <tm_> i mean somewhere in the system apparmor is configured to output stuff to kern.log which i highly doubt is 12.04-specific
[10:48] <boba88> hi, could someone help me to figure out if my normal user has all the user rights that it should have... it is weird i need root access for some stuff that i did not need before
[10:48] <llutz> tm_: " s/12.04/11.10/ " nice try but too late. just repect the rules here and ask in #ubuntu+1
[10:50] <zykotick9> boba88: most rights are determined through group memberships, in a terminal type "groups" and you'll get a list of the groups your user is in.  admin, and plugdev are important (as are several more)
[10:51] <boba88> zykotick9: adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
[10:51] <zykotick9> boba88: that appears ok to me (but i can't confirm).  What are you having issues doing exactly?
[10:52] <MonkeyDust> boba88  basically, you need sudo for anything outside /home
[10:52] <zykotick9> is boba88 missing a sound/audio group above?  or anything else?
[10:52] <tm_> ok found it - just for the record and if anyone tries to solve this in april, it is not configured in rsyslog* but in apparmor.d
[10:52] <boba88> zykotick9: for example i could not svn check out without sudo ... and now the folder is root only
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> boba88: strange you are not in the group which is your own username...
[10:53] <oscarhx> hi\
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> tm_: could report a bug
[10:53] <theadmin> zykotick9, MonkeyDust, boba88, ActionParsnip: The "power" and "users" groups are not used on Ubuntu, right?
[10:53] <zykotick9> boba88: as soon as you sudo'ed it, i'm sure it would become root only
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> boba88: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[10:54] <boba88> zykotick9: yes, and then if i need to launch program with eclipse.. it requires also sudo
[10:54] <tm_> a bug? no definitely not - this seems to be intended. one just has to know
[10:54] <zykotick9> boba88: use gksudo for any GUI stuff
[10:54] <boba88> ActionParsnip: oneiric
[10:54] <boba88> zykotick9: what do you mean use gksudo
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> boba88: I don't have a power group here.Is that something you added?
[10:55] <boba88> ?
[10:55] <zykotick9> boba88: never use sudo with a GUI application, use gksudo instead
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo
[10:55] <cancer> Almoxarife /are you there?
[10:55] <boba88> ActionParsnip: for example eclipse should be with gksudo eclipse?
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> boba88: if it is a graphical app, yes. If it sits in the terminal then use sudo
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> boba88: technically you can use gksudo for both if you want :)
[10:56] <boba88> ActionParsnip: it is an IDE with graphical interface
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> boba88: then use gksudo
[10:56] <boba88> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[10:57] <cancer> ActionParsnip: hi, i have downloaded kubuntu 11.10. Now which is best to use virtualbox or wubi
[10:57] <cancer> ?
[10:57] <theadmin> boba88: Why do you need to run Eclipse as root at all?
[10:57] <boba88> ActionParsnip: but overall i am not sure if my user rights are ok
[10:57] <theadmin> cancer: Virtualbox is much more of a natural environment. Wubi installs break too often
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> cancer: I'd go with virtualbox, I'm not a fan of wubi
[10:58] <boba88> theadmin: because my projected had to be checked with sudo svn co and then i do not have access to it as a normal user so neither eclipse run without sudo
[10:58] <futilius> I have a computer that won't start any live CD distro, but I remember I turned off some kernel features on the command line and it worked. anyone have an idea what those could be?
[10:58] <theadmin> boba88: ...you just had to change access rights for the project files, not run eclipse with sudo
[10:58] <boba88> theadmin: how can i change the rights ?
[10:58] <cancer> theadmin: Iso will work with both wubi & virtualbox? i am using Xp as well, so how to work with virtualbox?
[10:59] <boba88> chmod?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> boba88: you sure you aren't running BSD of some form?
[10:59] <theadmin> cancer: Install Virtualbox, use it...
[10:59] <theadmin> cancer: It has an interface anyone can easily understand
[10:59] <theadmin> boba88: chmod
[10:59] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: What makes you think of BSD?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> cancer: virtualbox can mount ISOs as is. Be sure you MD5 test it.
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/upt/ch22_13.htm
[11:00] <boba88> theadmin: so just "chmod" on the folder
[11:00] <boba88> ActionParsnip: what do you mean by running BSD?
[11:00] <theadmin> boba88: No, you change ownership in this case: sudo chown -R your_username:your_username folderpath
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> boba88: its a separate branch of free opensource OS, the 'power' group seems to be used by it
[11:01] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: So... what in that is so BSD-specific that boba88 has?
[11:01] <NyLes> what i am missing? I've tried glxgears and 53 FPS is the highest :(
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: the 'power' group you mentioned
[11:01] <cancer> ActionParsnip: i'm actually confused about virtual box. in wubi it installed my last ubuntu in seperate partition. that's the point virtualbox brings confusion.
[11:01] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: The "power" group is used by many Linux distros to allow normal users to poweroff the system (used in Gentoo at least), but I don't think Ubuntu uses that.
[11:02] <theadmin> cancer: Virtualbox creates a virtual hard drive in a file, just like Wubi, but it does it properly
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> cancer: wubi installs ubuntu to a disk file which is then loop mounted at boot. Virtualbox install to a similar file but is accessed inside windows so yourun both OSes at the same time
[11:02] <cancer> ActionParsnip: and what to do with md5?
[11:02] <boba88> theadmin: why do i need "boba88:boba88" and not only "boba88" for the user
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> cancer: you should test the ISO you have to see if it is complete and consistant. MD5 testing does that
[11:03] <theadmin> boba88: user:group
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> boba88: so that it gives the group ownership to your user too
[11:03] <NyLes> please help me..
[11:03] <boba88> ActionParsnip: theadmin thanks
[11:04] <bazhang> NyLes, help with what
[11:04] <cancer> ActionParsnip: ISO just downloaded. how to md5 test.
[11:04] <bazhang> NyLes, what video card do you have
[11:04] <NyLes> bazhang: I've tried glxgears and the highest FPS is only 53.. what am i missing?
[11:04] <theadmin> !md5 | cancer
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> !md5
[11:04] <bazhang> cancer, take a look at the link above
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> yay new pci usb arrived ust now :)
[11:05] <NyLes> bazhang: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M
[11:05] <bazhang> NyLes, that is a very old card?
[11:05] <theadmin> bazhang: Seems like so :D
[11:05] <NyLes> bazhang: yeah I think?
[11:05] <bazhang> NyLes, so probably not going to get very high score on glxgears
[11:07] <NyLes> bazhang: I'm reading this thread; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11365 he reached 500FPS :(
[11:07] <boba88> ActionParsnip: that worked out.. i have access now... but then i have the following problem: when i do svn up and then i get Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring:
[11:07] <boba88> ActionParsnip: i type my user passwd and it does not work
[11:07] <NyLes> bazhang: or the version of Ubuntu matters?
[11:08] <boba88> ActionParsnip: authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://xp-dev.com)
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> boba88: the gnome keyring password can be different to your logon password
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> boba88: svn is not something
[11:08] <boba88> ActionParsnip: what is the gnome keyring passwd used for?
[11:09] <wookienz_> how do i kick an old nick that is still logged on?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> boba88: storing password for ftp servers and suchlike
[11:09] <NyLes> bazhang: when i tried this; glxinfo | grep 's3tc\|direct'.. it says direct rendering: No..
[11:09] <boba88> ActionParsnip: it is not my personal computer.... someone else set a user for me i use it
[11:10] <boba88> ActionParsnip: or does it have to do with the wallet
[11:10] <theadmin> wookienz_: ghost
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> mental note to self: "help yourself and you will be helped"
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> boba88: you can still store accounts as yourown user
[11:10] <boba88> ActionParsnip: that stores the master passed
[11:10] <bazhang> NyLes, I seriously doubt you can get high scores with such a old card. hardware limitations. you could ask in #compiz , I suppose
[11:11] <boba88> ActionParsnip: but then what is the gnome passwd when i have not set it
[11:11] <bazhang> wookienz_, it's release, ask in #freenode for more help
[11:11] <wookienz> theadmin, thnks
[11:11] <cncer> ActionParsnip: theadmin: MD5 are same
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> cncer: then the image is good
[11:11] <cncer> ActionParsnip: theadmin: what about virtualbox versions?
[11:11] <theadmin> cncer: Ok good, then just go to Virtualbox and feed it to it
[11:11] <NyLes> bazhang: Ok thanks,, last question, when I tried lshw -c video, what is the meaning of UNCLAIMED there?
[11:12] <theadmin> cncer: Get the latest version
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> cncer: head to the virtualbox website and download the app and install.
[11:12] <rabbi1> how to install ttf-aefonts and ttf-gentium
[11:12] <wookienz> what NFS options do i need sot here is no UID GID permission issues?
[11:12] <rabbi1> how to install ttf-aefonts and ttf-gentium  on ubuntu 11.04 ?
[11:12] <sharpK> how can I run a shell script from SSH as it would run if I were to double click it in usr/bin/?
[11:13] <wookienz> sharpK, "./scriptname"
[11:13] <wookienz> sharpK, ./path/scriptname
[11:13] <sharpK> wookienz, it's returning an error and not openning the program, whereas doubleclicking that shell script opens it up (XBMC)
[11:13] <boba88> ActionParsnip: and for example when i type sudo svn up.. then the kde wallet application starts
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !info ttf-aefonts
[11:13] <wookienz> lvoe that prog!
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> boba88: i don't use svn, as I said earlier.
[11:14] <auronandace> !find ttf
[11:14] <boba88> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[11:14] <wookienz> sharpK, "./usr/bin/xbmc" work
[11:14] <wookienz> ?
[11:15] <cncer> ActionParsnip: Virtualbox linux host or windows host?

[11:15] <sharpK> is the error that gives me, same for jsut "xbmc", and other variations..
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> cncer: windows host, as your Windows OS is going to host the Linux guest
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> cncer  i use vbox, what are you trying to do or achieve?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: seems its been renamed ttf-aenigma according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/ttf-aenigma/0.0.20080510.dfsg-1
[11:16] <theadmin> sharpK: Is X running at all?
[11:16] <sharpK> theadmin not sure what that means?
[11:17] <theadmin> sharpK: Are you running this command from a graphical terminal application or real (fullscreen) console?
[11:17] <kbringard> hey guys, quick ? about preseed in 11.04
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> sharpK  are you trying to run graphical apps, or command line?
[11:17] <cncer> ActionParsnip: monkeydust: i'm running Xp and want to use both OS normaly.
[11:17] <sharpK> theadmin I am SSHing (putty from a windows box) into an ubuntu box...
[11:17] <kbringard> it seems that when I select atomic as the partman recipe it's now creating / and /home, the way the home recipe used to work
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> cncer: define 'normally'
[11:17] <kbringard> am I doing something wrong?
[11:17] <theadmin> sharpK: Ah. Do you want to start XBMC on the windows box or on Ubuntu?
[11:17] <sharpK> on the ubuntu box
[11:18] <theadmin> sharpK: Cool. Run: DISPLAY=:0 xbmc
[11:18] <sharpK> as it does run when I double click the xbmc shellscript in /usr/bin
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: XBMC is not supported here
[11:18] <sacarlson> sharpK: maybe pastebin the script that is run.  the script should have a line like ssh -X user@host:/pathtoappname
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> sharpK  then  you have to forward X somewhere in the putty preferences
[11:18] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: thanks, is there a way, where i can find all fonts for ubuntu in one page
[11:18] <cncer> ActionParsnip: XP is my command Center for now, maybe will change when i become well familiar with kubuntu. so i am aware that no harm cause to xp.
[11:18] <sharpK> theadmin that did it indeed, thanks....
[11:18] <theadmin> sharpK: np
[11:19] <wookienz> it hink sharpK is running it connected to a t as opposed to running it though th ssh connection
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: it's changed name to ttf-aenigma which is in the repos, which is why ubottu responded when I asked her to...
[11:19] <cncer> MonkeyDust: ActionParsnip: VirtualBox 4.1.8 for Windows hosts <--- Finally i'm downloading this.
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> cncer: its a good way to try the OS, although all the hardware is virtualized it will still run
[11:19] <sharpK> so whenever I launch a graphical application from SSH I need to include the display selector?
[11:19] <theadmin> sharpK: Pretty much so, or just do "export DISPLAY=:0" first and then run commands as normally
[11:19] <theadmin> sharpK: -as
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: if you want it to run on the server's display, yes.Otherwise it will display on the system you launch it via X forwarding
[11:20] <sharpK> ActionParsnip ahhh, that makes sense...
[11:20] <wookienz> X forwarding, cool!
[11:20] <sharpK> theadmin thanks for the knowledge, will try to add that to my repertoire...
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> wookienz: dead handy, especially media players.So the sound comes out of the remote system but shows on the client :)
[11:21] <wookienz> who can tackle my NFS prob. what mapping do i need so i dont have UID GID permissions problems.
[11:21] <cncer> ActionParsnip: i have a single drive & have made 3 partitions of it. my Active drive (C:) have only 1-2 G.B left. so i want to ask from where Virtual Box will use space?
[11:21] <wookienz> ActionParsnip, cool trick.
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> cncer: virtualbox won't use a partition. It installs to a file
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> a .vdi file
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> cncer: by default it will install to somewhere inside %profile%
[11:22] <cncer> ActionParsnip: where will it install file?
[11:22] <theadmin> cncer: You will be able to choose
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> cncer: wherever you downloaded it to
[11:23] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: Not necessarily, VirtualBox supports many virtual HD formats (VDI, VHD, Parallels' HDD and some other one)
[11:23] <theadmin> Ah, VMDK
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> theadmin  i know that, but tnx :)
[11:23] <dr_willis> no one ever reads the vbox manual.  :)
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> the vbow whàt? ;)
[11:23] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: It also supports real hard drives/partitions
[11:24] <kbringard> everything I'm reading tells me if my partman recipe in preseed is set to atomic it should put everything on one partition… did this change recently, or am I just being dumb?
[11:24] <cncer> theadmin: ActionParsnip: I'm confused again. installing virtual box is not my issue. i am asking about kubuntu space....? sorry if it my fault that i'm not understanding. (not good in english)
[11:24] <jsoft> How are usb devices mounted? What process does this? Obviously must be some kind of priviledged process?
[11:24] <theadmin> cncer: Basically. VirtualBox uses a file on your hard drive, anywhere you want, to "store" the "hard drive" of the guest (your Ubuntu install)
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> cncer: like I said, it will install to a file in your users my docs some place
[11:25] <nixmaniack> My WiFi doesn't autoconnect after reboot or waking up from sleep. here's the syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/860366/
[11:25] <auronandace> cncer: you can configure where virtualbox stores the virtual harddrive images
[11:25] <theadmin> jsoft: Automount is handled by gvfs, which does it via dbus
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> cncer: it installs to a file which is treated as a 'disk'
[11:25] <cncer> ActionParsnip: theadmin: can one of you please give exact link to virtual box.
[11:26] <theadmin> cncer: You already downloaded it, no?
[11:26] <cncer> theadmin: not virtual box but kubuntu.
[11:26] <theadmin> cncer: You already have the ISO too...
[11:27] <dr_willis> !vbox
[11:27] <cncer> theadmin: I have download ISO, i'm asking for virtual box link:
[11:27] <theadmin> cncer: Um, you will use this ISO for Virtualbox as well.
[11:27] <theadmin> cncer: Bah, give me a sec, I'll just record a video -_-
[11:27] <auronandace> cncer: download virtualbox for windows from the virtualbox website
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> cncer: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe   its on the website link which ubutu gave, this is basic stuff you know....
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> gone
[11:32] <cancer_> theadmin: download started from this link. http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe
[11:32] <cancer_> theadmin: just want to confirm, i'm doing the right thing
[11:33] <auronandace> cancer: yes
[11:33] <cancer_> auronandace: thanks :)
[11:33] <JRambo> Please help me with this superquick user test, it's just 1 click! Results will be published on @michelkusters and in this channel in an hour! http://www.solidifyapp.com/p/113
[11:33] <bazhang> JRambo, dont spam
[11:34] <JRambo> bazhang. it's really not spam - really interesting.. i'll share the results
[11:35] <bazhang> JRambo, its nothing to do with ubuntu support dont do  it
[11:35] <jsoft> theadmin: hmmm, so whats the process? device gets plugged in, and dbus notifies gvfs?
[11:35] <lulz87> ubuntu found and install sound drivers for my card, but sound is silenced
[11:35] <theadmin> jsoft: Not so sure.
[11:35] <lulz87> when i set on max, the sound is 50% silent then before on windows
[11:36] <jsoft> dbus is just a message routing gizmo though right?
[11:36] <jsoft> doesnt do anything beyond that?
[11:37] <bazhang> lulz87, whats pcm set to in alsamixer
[11:37] <cancer> auronandace: i don't see this Nick > "almoxarife" in list. is he off today.
[11:38] <auronandace> cancer: if the nick isn't in the list then he likely isn't here
[11:38] <Mayazcherquoi> Umm guys.
[11:38] <Mayazcherquoi> All of my text went white..
[11:38] <cancer> auronandace: just want to know do he come here in daily routine?
[11:39] <auronandace> cancer: no idea, you could check the chat logs
[11:40] <bazhang> !1984 | cancer
[11:40] <cancer> auronandace: ok thanks
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: in what app? or is it all the desktop?
[11:40] <wookienz> !seen almoxarife
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Everything
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: if you log off and on, is it ok?
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Nope. Not even after a restart
[11:41] <tgywa> Hi
[11:41] <lulz87> bazhang: pcm 18<>18
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: :-/
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Mayazcherquoi  start from the beginning, what have you done and tried before you came here

[11:42] <Mayazcherquoi> Well, as they call it nowadays, gnome-shell.
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Mayazcherquoi  what ubuntu version?
[11:42] <bazhang> lulz87, whats the max setting for pcm then. drop it down to around 80-85%
[11:43] <Mayazcherquoi> MonkeyDust: Oneiric.
[11:43] <bluefrog> tgywa, find /path/to/files* -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;      should do the trick
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> Mayazcherquoi  in a terminal,  type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:43] <cancer> auronandace: do i need to change any setting while installing virtualbox.
[11:44] <ft_mn> Hi all... I have mounted the postfix mail server on a ubuntu box... So now I can sucessfuly send emails from my root account my real email adress.... Now how is it possible to send an email from my real email to the root@XX.XX.XX.XX mail of mine?
[11:44] <Mayazcherquoi> MonkeyDust: I was just about to do an update via update manager (since it popped up after log in, still all white text :-/_
[11:45] <lulz87> bazhang: thank you very much!
[11:45] <lulz87> when i set pcm to 80 its good :D
[11:45] <lulz87> what about master mono sound, its on 35
[11:45] <lulz87> is that enough
[11:46] <Shakyj> is help.ubuntu.com having issues?
[11:46] <Shakyj> struggling to load pages

[11:55] <kahrn> my package manager is completely broken
[11:55] <kahrn> from perl

[12:00] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | kahrn
[12:00] <theadmin> kahrn: Impossible. It's EOL, you can no longer use it, update to an up-to-date version (the oldest still supported one is Lucid, which is 10.04)
[12:01] <kahrn> but it says it's still supported until 2013
[12:01] <theadmin> kahrn: And by "update" I mean reinstall. Repos are down now
[12:01] <kahrn> I have 8.04 server
[12:01] <theadmin> kahrn: So, you're using the server edition?
[12:01] <kahrn> yes

[12:08] <theadmin> kahrn: huhwhat. I never encountered such an issue, sorry... (not an APT fan honestly, and never really had problems with APT when I did use it)
[12:08] <SubjectOne> oh that i didn't know
[12:08] <kahrn> ok :(
[12:08] <kahrn> thanks anyways.

[12:14] <theadmin> gilmar: Isn't sunbird discontinued?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> guest4568: install imagemagick and on the login screen press CTRL+ALT+F1, log in and run:  sleep 20; import ~/shot.png     then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and wait.The cursor may change to a crosshair and you can select the section of the screen to shot

[12:16] <ActionParsnip> gilmar: i'd ask in #mozilla    afaik, sunbird isn't developed anymore
[12:16] <theadmin> gilmar: It's an age-old project which never even exited the beta stage. Try Google Calendar.

[12:17] <fishcooker> hello fellas
[12:17] <dedicated1> could anyone help me explain what the differences are between a root user, su and sudo? I thought that is was the safest to make a seperate root user and a limited user, but now I have done that I lost my access to the sudoers file. any help is welcome
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> gilmar: last release was March 2010
[12:17] <fishcooker> i need backup my ubu*box..is there any sugestion.. actually i want to cloning it to another box
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: su is a command to switch users, if no name is given then root is assumed
[12:18] <fishcooker> any help or experience on this stuff would be appreciated
[12:18] <dedicated1> ty action
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: sudo will run commands as your user using your users locales and environment but will run with the same access as root
[12:18] <theadmin> !clone | fishcooker
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: root is the highest account and has free reign over the OS. The account is disabled by default in Ubuntu and you can become it if you run:  sudo -i
[12:19] <T_H_X> dedicated1: man su   and  man sudo  for detailed info
[12:19] <overdub> or: sudo su -
[12:19] <Scall> :exit
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> fishcooker  and backup your /home using rsync, after that use rsync again to copy it to the new machine
[12:19] <LjL> overdub: which is a bit like cat | grep
[12:20] <LjL> overdub: i.e. overkill
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: there is already a root user, it must exist in a Linux OS for it to work
[12:20] <BattlestarB> hi
[12:20] <overdub> LjL: point taken
[12:20] <BattlestarB> i have a problem with wireless
[12:20] <guest4875> do someone know how to take screenshot of lightdm ?
[12:20] <BattlestarB> please help me
[12:20] <gilmar> I am taking a look in the Lightning...
[12:20] <T_H_X> BattlestarB:  prtscrn button on keyboard
[12:20] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip: but what confuses me is that I can't remember entering a root password with the installation
[12:20] <nstridesout> i cant log onto my ubuntu 11.10 after upgrade
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: if you want to reset your password when you forget it, you can boot to root recover mode and run:  passwd name    and reset the password
[12:20] <BattlestarB> i will write my problem
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: there isn't one, that's why. Your first user can use sudo as it is in the 'admin' group. There is no root password and the account is disabled
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> guest4875  only thing that comes to my mind: run ubuntu in vbox and take a screenshot there
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: you can't possibly remember something that never happened. It makes no sense
[12:22] <BattlestarB> wireless doesn't work when enable it from laptop, i can see the led is open. If i restart computer, wireless is working!
[12:22] <spajderix> I've created partitions on 4 hard drives using same parameteres per each hdd, and I ended up having them everything identical including UUID's. Is it normal, or should I recreate those?
[12:23] <BattlestarB> anyone help me please!
[12:23] <guest4875> MonkeyDust: that is the way i thought too but looking for a different solution
[12:23] <ikasle> ifconfig ra0 or ifconfig wlan0
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> BattlestarB  you say it is working, how can we help?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: gone
[12:24] <fishcooker> theadmin, monkeydust thankyou for your quick response.. how about my configuration file like etc and also there is a partition on /usr/local?
[12:25] <mar3k> Hello, can someone tell me a channel where i can get help for video streaming
[12:25] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Some people lack the power to wait, huh?
[12:25] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip: There is no root password and the account is disabled <-- this confuses me. I can log in with the first created account, sudo would give me root access and I do that with the password of the first created account? is that right?
[12:25] <T_H_X> rage quit
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: yes, if you run:    su root    you will be asked for root's password, which doesn't exist
[12:26] <HaBS> Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my Desktop computer but it doesn't detect my Logitech MX 5500 Revolution Mouse/Keyboard, is there a way I can get Ubuntu to detect it?
[12:26] <T_H_X> if you run su alone it will also
[12:26] <HaBS> It's a wireless Mouse/Keyboard btw
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: when you use sudo you are asked for a password and you use your login password to authenticate
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  it's some parameter in grub
[12:26] <gr0bi> Hy there. http://lists.launchpad.net/ isn't reachable at the moment :(
[12:26] <gr0bi> is it?
[12:26] <brkolog> mar3k: did you try VLC channel
[12:27] <HaBS> MonkeyDust: What do you mean?
[12:27] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip: so if someone hacks my account he has root access right away?
[12:27] <T_H_X> su = superuser
[12:27] <HaBS> I can use the keyboard on the boot loader but once I get past that, I can't use it.
[12:27] <BattlestarB> Is there a way to index different partition for reachhing from unity dash?
[12:27] <shomon> hi, what is a good way to delete information in ubuntu - shred?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: if they get your password, yes
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: no
[12:27] <T_H_X> sudo = superuser do , and you need to be in the sudoers file to use that
[12:27] <Lord_D> shomon: yes
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: su = switch user
[12:28] <T_H_X> man su
[12:28] <LjL> dedicated1: if someone obtains your account's password, yes, but not if someone simply manages to be in your account in some other way
[12:28] <guest4875> gr0bi: yes it is
[12:28] <shomon> thanks Lord_D
[12:28] <dedicated1> ty THX
[12:28] <Lord_D> shomon: but that is a great way to do it in any unish system
[12:28] <BattlestarB> can i index d: partition in unity for fast search?
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: if you specify no account then root is assumed, you can su to any account on the OS
[12:28] <guest4875> !lightdm
[12:28] <T_H_X> yah
[12:29] <qwemo> How safe is it to use internet while installing a fresh Ubuntu??????? Can the info be hijacked and a malicious program get in????
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  you have to modify a line in the grub menu, i'm searching
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: therefore switch user, not super user
[12:29] <T_H_X> hehe
[12:29] <T_H_X> ok
[12:29] <T_H_X> change the man page
[12:29] <HaBS> Ahh alright thanks, let me know if you come up with anything.
[12:29] <Lord_D> another great way to delete data is to just sand it down using popey's sideburns
[12:29] <gr0bi> can someone bring lists.launchpad.net back online please? does anyone know how feels responsible for this mailing list?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: it doesn't need changing.It backs up what I said
[12:29] <T_H_X> kidding
[12:29] <T_H_X> NAME: su - change user ID or become superuser
[12:30] <T_H_X> cant se any mention of switch
[12:30] <shomon> Lord_D, what are good parameters? I'm just leaving my job so it's just in case someone messed with my data.. can I go "shred -u /home/bla/mail/* "
[12:30] <T_H_X> ;) anyway.. shutting up
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: read a littlemore
[12:30] <T_H_X> hehe
[12:30] <dedicated1> lol  THX
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: become another user during a login session. Invoked without a username, su defaults to becoming the superuser
[12:30] <ohs6ohQu> is compiz grid broken on ubuntu or did i misconfigure something? cycling through window sizes does not work with left and right positions, it works with other positions.
[12:30]  * T_H_X not saying nuttin
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  if you're skilled enough, you can search 'ubuntu touchpad grub'
[12:31] <qwemo> Excuse meeeeeee!!!!! How safe is it to install Ubuntu with all option checked meaning install with internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:31] <dedicated1> it's safer to use patience
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> qwemo: its fine but can cause issues.I'd ust get the OS installed then do the web stuff later
[12:31] <Kartagis> do you guys know a tool that is capable of checking broken links behind CAS?

[12:32] <_Marcus> qwemo: It can be safe, as long as you have a stable internet connection(wont cut off on you). And please cut down on the number of exclamation marks you are using.

[12:33] <kbringard> does anyone know why when I set my partman stuff to atomic in preseed, it's treating it like I set it to home?
[12:33] <kbringard> is this a known issue or am I doing something dumb?
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> kaddi: if that doesn't fix it, run:    wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
[12:33] <kaddi> ActionParsnip: that fixed it :)
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  this was for ubuntu 9.10, maybe it's useful http://agoranetbook.kayno.net/2009/10/06/touchpad-configuration-for-ubuntu-9-10-grub-2/
[12:33] <fishcooker> is clonezilla can make image of my ubuntu-box?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> kaddi: cool, no need for the fixpackage script :)
[12:34] <kaddi> or not... reading is a complicated thing
[12:34] <kaddi> lol
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: yes it can make an image
[12:34] <HaBS> MonkeyDust: btw, this isn't a touchpad :P
[12:34] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: do you know a way to capture login screen on ubuntu ? not vbox
[12:35] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip and THX: last question, I removed admin on my main account, made a seperate admin account like in Windows. This seems to be useless and does not give me more protection over the default setup right? if that is right, then if I make my main account admin again does that add me to the sudoers file automaticly?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> guest4875: asI said earlier with imagemagick in CTRL+ALT+F1
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: is the new accouont in the admin group?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: you don't need to mess with the sudoers file
[12:35] <theadmin> dedicated1: The default sudoers file simply grants sudo priveleges to all members of the admin group.
[12:36] <dedicated1> okay :)
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: any account you want to give admin powers, just put them in the admin group and you are done
[12:36] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: haven't seen it.  could explaint it a bit more ?
[12:36] <dedicated1> and I was thinking having a user as admin was not so safe xD

[12:37] <jogster> any ideas what might have happend to this guy?
[12:37] <theadmin> dedicated1: Not really, this ain't Windows, you'll be asked for your password for any admin tasks so you can't just do them accidentally.
[12:37] <kaddi> ActionParsnip: what would happen if I don't get the error message fixed (worse case scenario)
[12:37] <theadmin> jogster: Wrong channel
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> (12:14:22) ActionParsnip: guest4568: install imagemagick and on the login screen press CTRL+ALT+F1, log in and run:  sleep 20; import ~/shot.png     then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and wait.The cursor may change to a crosshair and you can select the section of the screen to shot
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> kaddi: about GPG keys, nothin really
[12:37] <_Marcus> jogster: Hit with a rock? I don't see how this is very related to Ubuntu.

[12:38] <liquidee> ive got a problem with setkeycodes command. when im trying to  map scancode to a free keycode the command executes with no problems, but the keycode isnt set in dumpkeys command
[12:38] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: thanks
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> guest4875: copy and paste is a wonderful thing
[12:40] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: yes it is : )  My laptop freezed an rebooted it i think you just wrote msg at that time : )
[12:47] <r44> I have A question what keyboaurd combination while booting start terminal mode
[12:47] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: How's that work anyway?... I mean, shouldn't "import" be informed of the x display when running from a tty?
[12:48] <kuldeepdhaka_>  help-----i installed Lubuntu on my thin client  1Ghz processor,5 gb [1gb internal + 4 gb external pendrive],521 mb ram,,,,installed lubuntu on pendrive...now it is not loading...only text mode can be seen by pressing atl+ctrl+f1
[12:48] <theadmin> !text | r44
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: it lets you select a region, you can tell it to use root and such and it will do the whole screen afaik
[12:48] <r44> thanks I am going to try this
[12:49] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: No no, I mean, shouldn't it be something like "DISPLAY=:0 import ~/foo.png"?
[12:49] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Since we are running from a tty that is
[12:49] <kuldeepdhaka_> help-----i installed Lubuntu on my thin client  1Ghz processor,5 gb [1gb internal + 4 gb external pendrive],521 mb ram,,,,installed lubuntu on pendrive...now it is not loading...only text mode can be seen by pressing atl+ctrl+f1
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: afaik, if you switch back quick it should work. Not tried it but makes sense in my head
[12:50] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: In mine it doesn't, since, uh, the DISPLAY variable is only auto-defined while running in X, and the command will be ran in the tty anyway
[12:53] <Django_Novice> hi there
[12:53] <tiger_> hello
[12:53] <Django_Novice> i need to kill process in bash script
[12:53] <Django_Novice> i tried but its not working
[12:53] <tiger_> use kill with process id
[12:53] <Django_Novice> ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep 'manage.py runfcgi' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
[12:53] <tiger_> kill -p
[12:53] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: try pkill
[12:54] <Django_Novice> thats what im tryin to do
[12:54] <llutz_> Django_Novice: you have to kill the parent python process
[12:54] <Django_Novice> let me try to use pkill
[12:54] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionparsnip, help me
[12:54] <theadmin> Django_Novice: pkill processname or killall processname will usually work
[12:55] <kbringard> anyone have time for a preseed question?
[12:56] <Django_Novice> theadmin: pkill not working as well
[12:56] <Django_Novice> theadmin; shall i paste my script
[12:56] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: pkill -o
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: what is on screen at boot?
[12:56] <T_H_X> fort oldest process
[12:56] <T_H_X> or it will try kill pkill
[12:57] <wolfric> http://pastebin.com/j3Y5WX6h gpg errors on apt-get update
[12:57] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionParsnip, asked for user name and password when i pressed alt+ctrl+f1
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: it should use lightdm, or lxdm
[12:57] <yawstick1> I deleted the status bar where minimized apps usually show...I added back bar but cant seem to gets minimized apps to show up
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
[12:58] <wolfric> ActionParsnip: why should i do that..?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> yawstick1: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[12:58] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: try pkill -of manage.py runfcgi
[12:58] <Django_Novice> theadmin: dpaste.org/58VAt/
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: it imports the keys you are missing, not obvious?
[12:59] <kuldeepdhaka_> ActionParsnip, i can see the logo of lubuntu at startup but then nothing loads so i press alt+ctrl+f1
[12:59] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: try pkill -of "manage.py runfcgi"
[12:59] <T_H_X> maybe
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: try the boot option:  nomodeset
[12:59] <wolfric> ActionParsnip: right but why should i have to do this
[12:59] <wolfric> ActionParsnip: not a new install and no updates/chagnes afaik.
[13:00] <theadmin> Django_Novice: You don't have to use "echo command" after each command, just change the crunchbang to #!/bin/bash -v
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: it authenticates the repo, so the system knows you wanted to add it rather than some script etc. Its not absolutely necessary but is handy to stop the package system moaning
[13:00] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionparsnip, direcly load Lubutnu with out showing grub menu,,,what should i do....
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: hold SHIFT at boot
[13:00] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionParsnip, ok
[13:04] <Django_Novice> k thanks

[13:31] <orville> good morning folks.
[13:31] <orville> does anyone here know how to turn off the reboot notification in ubuntu?
[13:32] <orville> I've installed ubuntu in a vps and am not using the kernel.
[13:32] <orville> the ubuntu kernel that is.
[13:32] <orville> so I don't need to reboot, but that motd notification annoys me :-)
[13:33] <Pici> orville: Take a look at the manapge for motd.tail, it should describe the steps that go into creating the motd so that you can customize/replace it.
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> orville: i know its a file somewhere, just cant remember where
[13:34] <orville> Pici: no man page for motd.tail or motd.
[13:35] <orville> and motd+shell's manpage is hardly helpful.
[13:35] <llutz_> orville: "apropos motd"
[13:36] <tiger_>  any idea about the openmp ?
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> orville: seems like a lot of effort for very little gain
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> orville: I have a clear command at the bottom of ~/.bashrc so when I log in via SSH I get a blank terminal
[13:37] <orville> ActionParsnip: seems that way. but this involves byobu not bash.
[13:38] <orville> there's an everpresent (R) at the bottom of my shell in the notification area for packages.
[13:38] <orville> it annoys me and I want it gone.
[13:38] <orville> also helps to get to know the innards of your system. ;-)
[13:39] <stephane_yaal> join #myelefant
[13:39] <stephane_yaal> oops! forget my post
[13:40] <orville> aha! /var/run/reboot-required
[13:42] <orville> oh! there's even a nifty reboot-required.pkgs that tells you which pkgs got installed requiring a reboot.
[13:42] <orville> very nifty.
[13:42] <orville> now instead of assuming that it was due to the kernel, i know it's actually because of libssl.
[13:43] <orville> ActionParsnip:  and this is why it's good to learn about your system.
[13:43] <orville> never be afraid to dig deep! you'd be amazed at what you can learn!
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> orville: i'm learning every day, just as you are
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> orville: dude, I help here nearly every day...
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> orville: I also have one of the highest karmas on launchpad.
[13:45] <trieuvi92> hi
[13:45] <nagarajan> how to install ubuntu..
[13:46] <nagarajan> on laptop
[13:46] <tensorpudding> nagarajan, do you have an ubuntu cd or dvd?
[13:46] <nagarajan> Yes.
[13:47] <tensorpudding> you put the disc in the drive of your laptop
[13:47] <tensorpudding> you reboot and see if it boots to the disc, if not you need to change your boot settings to boot from the drive your disc is in
[13:48] <tensorpudding> once it boots you follow the instructions of the installer
[13:48] <nagarajan> Ya did all those part.  Please guide me what to give, (/)  or some else
[13:48] <tensorpudding> what?
[13:48] <tensorpudding> i don't understand
[13:48] <orville> ActionParsnip: what?
[13:48] <Django_Novice> can i provide pwd with sudo while running a command
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> orville: well you're talking like I never use Linux before, or am very new...
[13:50] <nibbier> http://pastebin.com/5S0ANqRe - why do i only have 3.5GB RAM? dmidecode lists a max of 16GB and correctly my modules of 2x1 and 2x2 GB, kernel is 64 bit....
[13:51] <orville> ActionParsnip: no. i'm talking like you shouldn't make assumptions about why people are doing things, or make unhelpful comments like "seems like a lot of effort for very little gain".
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> orville: well it is, the restart message is a single line of text, very easy to ignore...
[13:51] <orville> You probably didn't mean any harm by it, but don't get a "big head" over karma or stuff like that.
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: what is the output of:  uname -m
[13:52] <orville> remember the root of being here. to help and learn. facilitate that and ignore al else.
[13:52] <nagarajan> actually i have installed ubuntu in my desk top
[13:52] <nagarajan>  but i am not getting grub while booting
[13:52] <nagarajan>  i am getting message as input not supported
[13:52] <nagarajan>  with 11.10
[13:52] <nagarajan>  earlier with 10.10 grub was working
[13:52] <FloodBot1> nagarajan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> orville: its about feasability too
[13:53] <tensorpudding> nagarajan, what message is telling you input not supported
[13:53] <nibbier> ActionParsnip, x86_64
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: ah, now thats a weird one.
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: does the system have a make and model?
[13:56] <nibbier> ActionParsnip, its in the dmidecode in the paste (along with supposed limits (16GB)): Base Board Information        Manufacturer: ASRock  Product Name: P5B-DE
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: sorry
[13:56] <nibbier> ActionParsnip, never mind, thats why i cut+paste it - dmidecode is a long one ;-)
[13:57] <fairuz> Hi, I'm not getting any output after choosing a kernel in the grub menu. The screen just went blank. But if I choose recovery mode, then I click on cancel, it boots fine. What can cause this issue? Thanks.
[13:57] <Guest86272> while booting i am not grub screen
[13:57] <Guest86272> but it appears virtually
[13:57] <sipior> nibbier: do you have an option for memory remapping in your bios, and is it enabled?
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: does the ram show correctly in BIOS?
[13:58] <Guest86272> my monitor doesn't getting any signal
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> Guest86272: what GPU do you use?
[13:58] <Guest86272> later some time my login screen appears and then i am able to use my desktop
[13:59] <Guest86272> i am unable get
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Guest86272: so you only don't see the boot splash but the OS does boot eventually, is that right?
[13:59] <Guest86272> yes
[13:59] <Guest86272> you are right
[13:59] <sacarlson> Guest86272: I was able to get view of grub boot with changes in boot settings

[14:04] <pestilence> in trying to install a printer, the hp-setup downloads a plugin and then tries to import a gpg key.  this fails.  when i try running the gpg import in a terminal, pgp.mit.edu returns "gpgkeys: key A59047B9 not found on keyserver"

[14:06] <pestilence> seems like pretty bad design choice on the ubuntu side

[14:06] <Stevan94NoT> can someone help me?
[14:07] <novid> ‎ActionParsnip:  I just update Ubuntu normally
[14:07] <crizzy> Stevan94NoT: don't ask ppl to help, tell your problem and wait, if someone knows they'll answer
[14:07] <Stevan94NoT> ok..my problem is I dont know how to install Ati drivers for graphic card
[14:08] <crizzy> ok, which ati card you have?
[14:08] <Stevan94NoT> 5450HD download latest driver available
[14:08] <crizzy> are you on 11.10 / unity
[14:08] <Stevan94NoT> 11.10
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> novid: yes, but what does the update dialogue say?
[14:08] <crizzy> ok, hit super/win button, type 'additional' there, you should find 'additional drivers' app
[14:09] <crizzy> open that. click on the proprietary driver (NOT the post-release ones, the regular one)
[14:09] <crizzy> it'll install the driver
[14:09] <crizzy> after that, reboot
[14:10] <Stevan94NoT> Should I choose post release update or normal?
[14:10] <crizzy> normal
[14:10] <Stevan94NoT> ok thanks for your help
[14:10] <Trevor69420> eh.. someone somewhere said something to me again but i was away and i cant scroll that far up
[14:10] <crizzy> post-release has never worked for me.. not for anyone else with ati that i know, either
[14:10] <crizzy> :)

[14:14] <ActionParsnip> novid: you can but its not the way to upgrade. Disable the PPAs you have added. it may help
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> novid: if you use the daily ISO, it will be the same as upgrading from the web

[14:16] <ActionParsnip> novid: try software centre then

[14:20] <edgy> Hi, I bought a new laptop with (I guess software ) raid0 and windows installed. now I am not sure how to install linux
[14:20] <novid> ‎ActionParsnip: from terminal, i open software center, then i want open repositories window, i get this error in terminal http://pastebin.com/jFebhBVK
[14:20] <c_smith> edgy, do you have the installation media ready?
[14:21] <nagarajan> as you told i have run
[14:21] <nagarajan> seems to be grub installed
[14:21] <edgy> c_smith: I created now an image from windows though I have never recovered windows before and hope I am doing it right
[14:21] <nagarajan> let me restart my system
[14:21] <nagarajan> thanks a lot
[14:22] <edgy> c_smith: and yes I donwloaded ubuntu and burn it to my flash
[14:22] <ohmy> hello
[14:22] <c_smith> edgy, ok, and do you want to keep Windows?
[14:22] <novid> ‎ActionParsnip: whole error is http://pastebin.com/LqdNjgx2
[14:22] <edgy> c_smith: yes
[14:22] <ohmy> i was seeking the different tool that are able to create filessytems, is there any alternatives to mkfs ? (just for knowledge)
[14:22] <takpar> :/
[14:23] <c_smith> ok, so, you're going to want to boot into the live USB drive, how to do that varies with the type of laptop.
[14:23] <novid> ‎ActionParsnip: sorry, this is complete output  error from software center http://pastebin.com/AyB7Ta0Y
[14:24] <c_smith> edgy, and then you are going to want to follow the installer until it comes to disk setup, then you will want to select "install Ubuntu alongside windows".
[14:24] <c_smith> and the rest should be fairly easy, let us know if you have problems.
[14:25] <sacarlson> novid: you might need to run that with gksudo software-center
[14:25] <edgy> c_smith: the problem is the disk is raid0
[14:25] <c_smith> edgy, oh, well, I'll have to have you see if someone else knows, as I have no clue on that part..... sorry bud.
[14:26] <dr_willis> how do you know its raid?
[14:26] <sacarlson> edgy: ya I'm not sure what ubuntu will see your raid0 as,  you might need to repartition if no non raid stuf is left to install it
[14:26] <edgy> dr_willis: from the bios
[14:26] <dr_willis> it has 2 hard drives?
[14:27] <novid> ‎sacarlson: no different, again i can not open repositories windows
[14:27] <sacarlson> dr_willis: edgy: oh if the raid is done in bios I guess ubuntu will still see it as a normal drive then
[14:27] <edgy> dr_willis, sacarlson: actually I tried to boot linux and just see a black screen then I tried some of the kernel options and got the installer but the disks appear as two 500G disks
[14:27] <edgy> dr_willis: yes, two drives
[14:28] <sacarlson> novid: maybe just install synapic if that option is still available in software-center
[14:28] <sacarlson> novid: synaptic
[14:28] <Trevor69420> edgy: how large are each of your hard drives??
[14:28] <edgy> Trevor69420: 500G each and windows see them as 1 tera disk
[14:28] <dr_willis> isent raid 0 more unreliable but faster?
[14:29] <Stevan94NoT> I just installed driver fo graphic card and in system info it says "VESA:" instead of my real graphic card (ati 5450HD
[14:29] <Trevor69420> ah...
[14:29] <sipior> dr_willis: unreliable, to put it mildly :-)
[14:29] <Trevor69420> lol
[14:29] <Trevor69420> no redundancy with RAID 0
[14:29] <Trevor69420> thats why i use RAID 10
[14:30] <edgy> dr_willis: yes, and I don't care about raid 0 but I guess if I changed this now I have to reinstall windows, right?
[14:30] <Trevor69420> sometimes RAID 5 but more often RAID 10
[14:30] <Trevor69420> edgy... are you using a hardware RAID card or software RAID?
[14:30] <BattlestarB> hi
[14:30] <dr_willis> sipior:  year.  my dual HD laptop I use Linux on HD 1 and windows on 2 . no raid
[14:30] <sacarlson> Stevan94NoT: did it fail to bring up the driver or did the install not create a config file to make it use it?  take a look a the logs
[14:30] <BattlestarB> rfkill list
[14:30] <BattlestarB> 0: phy0: Wireless LAN
[14:30] <BattlestarB> 	Soft blocked: no
[14:30] <BattlestarB> 	Hard blocked: yes
[14:30] <edgy> Trevor69420: the laptop comes with raid in bios so I am not sure what it's but I guess this software raid
[14:30] <BattlestarB> i cant unblock "hard blocked"
[14:31] <FloodBot1> BattlestarB: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:31] <Trevor69420> whats the laptop model edgy?
[14:31] <edgy> Trevor69420: msi gt683r
[14:31] <nibbler> BattlestarB, i did have a very similar problem. what laptop/wifi card are you using? for me it helped to unload several modules - at least that allowed me to use an externally plugged usb wifi stick which was "hard blocked" before, too
[14:31] <Trevor69420> give me a sec to look into this machine
[14:32] <Stevan94NoT> Oh now it says it's disabled in aditional drivers..ill try to enable it again
[14:32] <BattlestarB> nibbler: atheros
[14:32] <Trevor69420> i'm not to familiar with software RAID.. i use a 9650SE 3Ware RAID card
[14:32] <BattlestarB> nibbler: it is work if i restart computer
[14:32] <Trevor69420> but if it's in the BIOS it's possible it is actually a hardware controller
[14:33] <dr_willis> aren't most those semihard software raida these days
[14:33] <Trevor69420> edgy found something interesting
[14:33] <Hiuhu> Hey guyz am using ubuntu 10.10 and my software center is not downloading the cache
[14:33] <nibbler> Trevor69420, i don't think so. if its a (real) hw controller, it'll have its own bios showing during boot up. the ones in (standard) BIOS are all fake-raid imho
[14:33] <Trevor69420> edgy: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/249784-32-ubuntu-raid-discs
[14:33] <moustafa> I hate it when this happens
[14:33] <Trevor69420> did you read this?
[14:34] <edgy> nibbler: actually it tells me to press Ctrl+I to go to raid setup bios
[14:34] <Trevor69420> yea thats what i thought
[14:35] <Trevor69420> so it very well may be hardware
[14:35] <nibbler> edgy, ok, misunderstood then. sounds good. but you should get a brandname etc?
[14:35] <Trevor69420> edgy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1720800
[14:35] <Trevor69420> edgy: looks like alot of ppl have similar issues
[14:36] <edgy> nibbler: still I don't think it's hardware raid because live CD linux sees it as two disks ;)
[14:36] <Trevor69420> dunno what exactly causes it
[14:36] <edgy> Trevor69420: reading ...
[14:37] <Trevor69420> i dont recall having to do any of those steps when i set up my ubuntu server
[14:37] <Stevan94NoT> In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:"
[14:37] <Hiuhu> abox I have a problem with my software center every time I try to download something all it says is requires installation of untrusted packages
[14:37] <klawd> hI!
[14:37] <klawd> i screwed up my sudoers file
[14:37] <klawd> now i can't edit it with sudo
[14:37] <klawd> now what?
[14:37] <Trevor69420> klawd eeek that's terrible
[14:37] <dr_willis> klawd: use a live cd
[14:38] <Trevor69420> oh yea u can do that
[14:38] <dusf> can i install open office through synaptic some how? i am not sure which package to select...
[14:38] <dr_willis> or rescue mode
[14:38] <Trevor69420> lol
[14:38] <klawd> hum
[14:38] <klawd> reboot and choose rescue mode from the boot options?
[14:38] <Trevor69420> dr_willis, i almost told him to logon as root haha
[14:38] <dr_willis> dusf: its libreoffice in the repos
[14:38] <dusf> dr_willis: tyvm
[14:39] <nibbler> edgy, as long as its not configured in that way, i'd say u r right ;-)
[14:39] <Hiuhu> Guyz someone plz HELP me
[14:39] <edgy> Trevor69420: you mean you manage to install linux in a raid 0 disk on a lpatop?
[14:40] <Stevan94NoT> In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:"
[14:40] <Trevor69420> edgy no i managed to install it on my PowerEdge 2950 server with a 3Ware 9650SE card with an external SAS enclosure with 16 x 1TB hard drives in a RAID 10
[14:41] <Trevor69420> it saw them as one hard drive at startup
[14:41] <Trevor69420> 1 8TB ish hard drive
[14:41] <Trevor69420> cuz RAID 10 mirrors and spans
[14:41] <edgy> Trevor69420: may be because yours is hardware raid and mine is software
[14:42] <Trevor69420> i dunno i actually think u might have a hardware RAID
[14:42] <Trevor69420> if it has it's own BIOS
[14:42] <Trevor69420> i dont know tho to be honest
[14:43] <Trevor69420> i think the last time i used Software RAID was on my GX270 desktop which i use as my router
[14:44] <Trevor69420> but i set up the RAID from the ubuntu CD
[14:45] <YohanMeister> aside from the boot loader, is there anything else on a typical linux installation that needs to know where the kernel is?
[14:45] <Nach0z> afaik, no.
[14:46] <Nach0z> maybe aptitude or something, to replace the kernel image
[14:47] <dr_willis> you hideing your Kernal?
[14:48] <Mito125> hi
[14:49] <Hypocreale> Heya
[14:50] <Hypocreale> I've been using Fedora for two years or so now. I'd just like to get your opinion
[14:50] <YohanMeister> dr_willis: ha ha. Not exactly but I am cooking up a plan for a little tweaking
[14:50] <Stevan94NoT>  In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:"
[14:50] <Hypocreale> What are the big differences a ordinary user would notice between Fedora and Ubuntu
[14:51] <llutz_> Hypocreale: #ubuntu-offtopic for this pls.
[14:51] <Hypocreale> ok, thanks
[14:51] <YohanMeister> thx Nach0z
[14:54] <t1t4n> is possible 2 machines has the same public key?
[14:54] <compdoc> not likely, unless it was copied manually
[14:55] <Stevan94NoT> In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:" ? Anyone please? Is it suposted to be like that or not?
[14:55] <ohs6ohQu> I can't get compiz grid to work correctly on ubuntu. for the left and right positions cycling window sizes does not work. any ideas what the problem could be?
[14:59] <t1t4n> is possible 2 machine and 1 public key?
[15:01] <Schles> hey there, i´ve got a problem to control my fans on ubuntu. I´m using fancontrol but i´m get an error when trying to adjust the settings. sensors found eine fan  with a speed about 2200 RPM. Pwnconfig returns an source error (cant compare a empty string). The empty string is because pwnconfig doesnt found any fans. during the init process, pwmconfig test which fan the programm can manage and correctly let the fan spin slower. But that is
[15:01] <Schles> *eine = one, sry
[15:01] <wangerin> t1t4n: Sure. But you have to copy the private key to each mashine.
[15:01] <talloaktrees> hahah. a little german slipped through
[15:01] <Schles> :D
[15:03] <Schles> *any other setting can´t do that (spin the fan slower)
[15:03] <playman> how can I run filename.sh in terminal?
[15:03] <Schles> sh filename.sh
[15:03] <cancer> auronandace: hi
[15:04] <SubjectOne> chmod +x the .sh file first
[15:04] <llutz_> why?
[15:04] <playman> i've allready chmod the file
[15:04] <dr_willis> chmod or use sh
[15:04] <SubjectOne> k
[15:04] <dr_willis>  ./foo.sh
[15:05] <mi3> Hi!
[15:05] <dr_willis> if yiu chmod
[15:05] <Schles> if the filename.sh has the execute right, you can run it with ./filename.sh
[15:05] <Schles> otherwise sh filename.sh
[15:05] <playman> sh filename.sh worked thanks
[15:05] <cancer> auronandace: i have installed virtualbox, there is default machine folder in file > preference > General. what if i change it path?
[15:06] <cancer> i have installed virtualbox, there is default machine folder in file > preference > General. what if i change it path?
[15:06] <playman> I just tried running it with "filename.sh" :S
[15:06] <compdoc> cancer, if you understand how to configure VB to use the path, it shouldnt be a problem
[15:06] <llutz_> playman: that only works if the file is executable AND in a dir inside your $PATH
[15:06] <auronandace> cancer: yes, if you change the path you could use a different partition with more space
[15:08] <cancer> auronandace: It means that virtualbox will make file of kubuntu in the path i'll describe.
[15:09] <auronandace> cancer: yes
[15:09] <cancer> auronandace: do i have to do changes with "VRDP authentication Library"
[15:09] <playman> llutz_: ok I know that now thank you
[15:10] <auronandace> cancer: not sure sorry, you could ask in #vbox
[15:11] <cancer> auronandace: ok, virtual box will only use the space i'll define in default machine folder. right?
[15:13] <auronandace> cancer: it will use the space left on the partition of where you define the path, but you can set how big every drive is when you create the vm
[15:13] <LeartS> Hi all, quick question: I need to run a script that checks for changes on a webpage every hour (more or less, no need to be exact time). Is it better to use cron or sleep 3600 inside a while loop?
[15:14] <llutz_> LeartS: just use cron.hourly or create a cronjob running every hour. better than sleep-loops (imho)
[15:14] <cancer> auronandace: i will set path to the partition of space 10 G.B, from where i uninstalled ubuntu(wubi).
[15:14] <bazhang> https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html cancer this is very informative
[15:14] <theadmin> LeartS: cron, because otherwise the script will be running ALL the time, not only when you need it
[15:15] <cancer> bazhang: can you tell me will virtual box uses ISO file everytime i need to boot into kubuntu.
[15:15] <cancer> ?
[15:16] <LeartS> Ok, thanks, I thought so. Just out of curiosity though: does the sleep command uses CPU?
[15:16] <bazhang> cancer, have you looked at the link I gave you?
[15:17] <cancer> bazhang: in progress....
[15:19] <cstTY> hey bitches
[15:19] <darrenlooby> Hi guys... how do I extract this? apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
[15:19] <llutz_> LeartS: if it does, its marginal
[15:19] <LeartS> Ok, thanks.
[15:20] <bazhang> cstTY, watch the language
[15:20] <cstTY> what are some good network discovery programs
[15:20] <Schles> darrenlooby, tar xvf apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
[15:20] <cancer> bazhang: will it use RAM & diskspace when ever i login to xp OR it will only use the memory when i'll run kubuntu
[15:21] <BattlestarB> can i move unity stick to right?
[15:22] <darrenlooby> Schles, I'm getting this... gzip: stdin: not in gzip format - is that an error with the download do you think?
[15:22] <auronandace> BattlestarB: no
[15:22] <bieb> I setup an ubuntu kiosk.. it auto logs in as "kiosk" user which is fine.. the only problem is I can't login as a higher priviledged user to update the browser and make sure the ability to print to .pdf is available. How/where do I change the login setting so it will allow me to login as different user?
[15:22] <BattlestarB> auronandace: noooo
[15:23] <bazhang> BattlestarB, possible to the bottom though
[15:23] <BattlestarB> no i want it to right
[15:23] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[15:23] <bazhang> BattlestarB, then nope
[15:24] <Schles> darrenlooby, i could possible be. I´m also not so much experience on linux
[15:24] <Schles> darrenlooby, but tar.gz i extract with tar xvf filename.tar.gz
[15:24] <cstz> cstty is gay
[15:24] <darrenlooby> kk
[15:24] <cstTY> cstz is here to find a boyfriend if anyone is interested :):)

[15:26] <mneptok> cstz: anything else you'd like to add while i have ops? or can you stay on-topic?
[15:26] <bazhang> cancer, you should take your time and read it. it's very informative. also #vbox for what is not clear
[15:27] <darrenlooby> Schles, solved. The download redirected
[15:28] <Schles> darrenlooby :)

[15:31] <bellman> Where can I get an Ubuntu Server Edition with TMUX instead of SCREEN
[15:32] <llutz_> bellman: sudo apt-get remove screen; sudo apt-get install tmux
[15:32] <llutz_> time for tmubuntu-server ...
[15:32] <mneptok> llutz_: already been done. the .iso's are on a detached server, though.
[15:33] <sipior> heh

[15:33] <darrenlooby> How do I tell where my JDK is?
[15:33] <darrenlooby> Or even that I've installed it correctly
[15:34] <jatt> which java
[15:34] <mneptok> darrenlooby: what did you install and how?
[15:35] <darrenlooby> mneptok, jatt  - I'm trying to install apache maven - and I need java installed...
[15:35] <_Marcus> How do I make it so that my Ubuntu virtual machine is filling the whole area in Virtual Box? I already installed Guest Addons
[15:35] <corentin> hi
[15:35] <jatt> type:
[15:35] <jatt> which java
[15:35] <jatt> on a console
[15:35] <darrenlooby> haha n00b
[15:35] <_Marcus> I want it to not go to 1024x768, as that's too big, but instead to a size that is smaller than that, but fills the greenish-gray area
[15:36] <darrenlooby> Cheers
[15:36] <Ghostly> i have an very strange problem, i connect my router on my network then activate dhcp on it and then my pc witch is connected to the router starts experiencing some strange problems related to the loading of pages. I use firefox 10.0.2 and Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit
[15:36] <compdoc> _Marcus, fill what area? the hard drive space you gave it?
[15:36] <darrenlooby> Cheers jatt :)
[15:36] <mneptok> !info maven2
[15:36] <_Marcus> compdoc: No, you know how in Virtual Box, there is that area in the window that isn't filled by the Ubuntu display?
[15:36] <mneptok> darrenlooby: ^^^^^^
[15:37] <compdoc> _Marcus, so youre talking about resolution?
[15:37] <compdoc> desktop area?
[15:37] <_Marcus> compdoc: Yes. I couldn't think of the name, it's resolution
[15:38] <corentin> i need to compile eglibc, i've tried to get the source with apt-get source, but it's always failing at linking time because of multiple defition of some symbol like __libc_multiple_libcs
[15:38] <darrenlooby> mneptok, cheers :)
[15:39] <_Marcus> Nvm, I got it, compdoc
[15:40] <mi3> Hello, is there a way to display vlc title and track in conky?
[15:40] <MrStupid> mi3 yes
[15:41] <mi3> MrStupid, can you suggest how?
[15:41] <_Marcus> How do I use basic Gnome desktop instead of Unity? Unity is really slow
[15:41] <MrStupid> mi3 no
[15:41] <mi3> But you said yes?
[15:42] <MrStupid> mi3 yes
[15:43] <llutz_> !attitude | MrStupid pls be helpful
[15:43] <mi3> _Marcus log out of the session, then at the login window on the bottom side you will see Desktop in that you can select whichever you want like gnome with effects, no effects, recovery console, etc.
[15:43] <xsl> in xfce is there a way to define the positioning of a panel that does not use positioning="x=number y=number" but use positioning"x=bottom y=bottom"
[15:43] <llutz_> hrm wrong factoid
[15:44] <mi3> xsl, please ask this question in xfce channel
[15:44] <bellman> you can simply edit the source code of VLC and make it output the current track to dbus, and simply edit conky to read the track from dbus
[15:44] <_Marcus> mi3: I logged out, and there is nothing at the bottom.
[15:44] <mi3> _Marcus, there will be a session selection at the bottom which release do you use?
[15:45] <_Marcus> mi3: 11.10
[15:45] <CoolCoder> I have installed openoffice. But how i will open it. when i type cmd soffice its opening libreoffice. how to i get openoffice
[15:45] <mi3> bellman, how can I do that? can you suggest? also, I am a complete newbie, and I dont know how to compile from source so pls guide me
[15:46] <mi3> _Marcus, there ought to be some kind of a session selector option in the login screen, thats what I know.
[15:46] <xsl> mi3 i have been asking that question for 3 days, with no success
[15:47] <_Marcus> mi3: There is "Guest Session" but that's just a guest account
[15:47] <xsl> and its important, because if i change monitor or screen resolution and if the bar is on the bottom ...i cant see it
[15:48] <llutz_> mi3 have you tried this? http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/conky?before=1328759322
[15:48] <mi3> xsl you want vlc in conky? i have a solution and it may or may not work wait let me give you the link[the conkyrc file in that tar.gz works but the display aint proper so I thought i could find some suggestions on this chanel]
[15:48] <mi3> llutz its the same tar.gz file, ehh?
[15:48] <mi3> :)?
[15:49] <mi3> you want the link xsl?
[15:49] <CoolCoder> I have installed openoffice. But how i will open it. when i type cmd soffice its opening libreoffice. how to i get openoffice
[15:49] <llutz_> mi3: tar.gz?
[15:50] <mi3> llutz is it tar.gz file on that link or just a paste?
[15:50] <xsl> my problem is related to a xfce design problem that positions the panel using x and y coordinates. and i need to be "bottom" "top"
[15:50] <llutz_> mi3: check it out
[15:50] <mi3> ok
[15:50] <mi3> xsl thats too easy
[15:51] <xsl> it is?
[15:51] <mi3> well maybe can you care to ask?
[15:51] <mi3> :)
[15:51] <helmut_> hi
[15:52] <Tostada> Hi.. How do I search for text within files system wide.? Thank you : )
[15:52] <xsl> mi3 so instead of <property name="position" type="string" value="p=8;x=512;y=755"/> i can use <property name="position" type="string" value="p=8;x=bottom;y=bottom"/>  ?

[15:57] <mi3> xsl u wanted solution for xfce and vlc[i guess] i provided the solution for the latter one
[15:58] <raidmaster> _Marcus I really don't like binary blobs
[15:58] <_Marcus> !pdf | raidmaster
[15:58] <_Marcus> Biebian: ... Remove root?
[15:58] <mi3> xsl, is the problem with conky?
[15:58] <Biebian> or maybe even Justin
[15:59] <BattlestarB> is there a lens for ubuntu 11.10 for index everything?
[15:59] <bellman> sudo su, usermod -l Justin root, passwd Justin to set a password and allow root logins
[15:59] <xsl> mi3 no its with the xfce panels
[15:59] <Oer> Biebian what root-user ? root-account is disabled in Ubuntu.
[16:00] <mi3> maybe you can find some luck with xfce channels cos nobody really entertains questions related to xfce on this channel xsl ok
[16:00] <raidmaster> ubottu I use Ubuntu in Virtualmachine. My host is Debian using only the main repos. Don't use Flash Player. Gnash does the trick. All the same I need to send a pdf to a Windows users that needs to be edited..
[16:00] <_Marcus> Biebian: Some applications use the username "root" as a reference, while some use the uid. I wouldn't recommend it, and you should ask someone else about what I am going to say, but just change "root" to something else in /etc/passwd
[16:01] <BattlestarB> hey, i want to index every file on computer but unity only shows opened files, is there a way to index everyting (ubuntu 11.10)
[16:01] <CoolCoder> Anyone help? I am not able to run openoffice. when I try to install it says new version is already installed. Its not getting on the menu may be libreoffice is already installed.  when i run the cmd "ooffice -writer %U" I am getting this message http://pastebin.com/H5YGZAke
[16:01] <Biebian> _Marcus thank you that is helpfull I will test this out shortly
[16:01] <mi3> hey xsl you have some conkys you would like to share with me?
[16:01] <hatop> biebian: do not remove the root user. It is necessary to actually do things. You can add a "comment" but otherwise, please leave it alone.
[16:01] <Tostada> Hi.. How do I search for text within files, system wide.? Thank you : )
[16:01] <_Marcus> Biebian: take a backup of your machine first
[16:02] <hatop> tostada: that depends on the type of file and if you like the command line.
[16:02] <_Marcus> hatop: They dont want to remove it, just rename it.
[16:02] <Biebian> bellman thank you too, my goal is to make sure my distro is as bieber based as possible
[16:02] <BattlestarB> Tostada: i want to index everything, do you have a solution for that?
[16:02] <llutz_> troll-tuesday, Biebian  .. take your fish and troll away <°))))><
[16:02] <mi3> hahahaha
[16:03] <_Marcus> llutz_: Don't give away fish, their for slapping people.
[16:03] <mi3> this aint windows BattlestarB
[16:03] <comunistu> how to display your open windows in all workspaces in Ubuntu 10.10?
[16:03] <Myrtti> moving on and keeping to the topic, thank you
[16:03] <RyanD> Is there a support channel for wu-ftpd, or am I locked into asking in here?
[16:03] <mi3> you found that option _Marcus?
[16:03] <BattlestarB> mi3: you are saying linux can't do that?
[16:04] <_Marcus> mi3: I am going to install gnome from software center, and then uninstall Unity from software center.
[16:04] <RyanD> Just want to lock a user in his home directory (it's a wordpress autoupdate login only, so only want it to see /var/www)
[16:04] <hatop> if by index you mean search, then it does
[16:04] <RyanD> via both SSH and wu-ftpd.
[16:04] <mi3> BattlestarB I have no idea and have never tried that
[16:04] <hatop> try the locate command
[16:04] <Tostada> hatop I'm not very good with linux but I do know how to use the command line.. Right now I'm trying: grep -i -n ‘people123.com’ * but it doesn't do anything.
[16:04] <mi3> _Marcus maybe you should use natty,ehh?
[16:04] <_Marcus> RyanD: When you figure it out, can you help me do it D:
[16:04] <hatop> tostada: is this in relation to apache logs?
[16:04] <_Marcus> mi3: 11.04?
[16:04] <BattlestarB> mi3: ok, it is possible actually
[16:05] <mi3> yeah _Marcus
[16:05] <_Marcus> mi3: Naw
[16:05] <theadmin> Tostada: grep -R -H -F 'people123.com' /
[16:05] <Tostada> No, somehow people123.com are pulling information from my computer using firefox.
[16:05] <mi3> _Marcus, natty is for all those who are unity hater, no offense
[16:05] <mi3> sorry *haters
[16:05] <comunistu> how to display windows are open in all workspaces in Ubuntu 10.10?
[16:05] <_Marcus> Tostada: Block them through your router.
[16:05] <hatop> tostada: is this in relation to something being displayed on a webpage?
[16:06] <_Marcus> mi3: I like 11.10, but I don't like Unity
[16:06] <Tostada> Good idea.. thankyou.
[16:06] <mi3> _Marcus, same goes for me, i hate unity [i mean why would someone introduce that in the name of usability?]
[16:07] <_Marcus> mi3: It reminds me a lot of OS X though, so I like it a bit.
[16:07] <mi3> BattlestarB, tell me about it
[16:07] <Tostada> hatop No, this morning when I went to shut firefox for a reboot there was one tiny little window open.. it said transfering people123.com I've never been to people123.com
[16:08] <theadmin> Tostada: Eh, just a random ad popup? Nothing to worry about.
[16:08] <mi3> _Marcus, :( [never have a mac, so cant say :)]
[16:08] <Tostada> Theadmin Thankyou, I'll try that.
[16:08] <hatop> sounds like a browser flaw
[16:08] <undersc_re> trying to install netgear WNA3100 wireless network usb on a dell D600 running 11.10.  I've waded through the sea of docs online, but somewhere I got my wires crossed.  Any tips to isolate the issue?  lsusb sees the device, nm-tool does not.
[16:08] <Tostada> There was no ad in the window.
[16:09] <_Marcus> Tostada: Did you install a Firefox extension lately?
[16:09] <notwaffles> I'm trying to put together an upstart job to run browsermob-proxy but the stop command doesn't seem to work, does anyone have any experience with this?
[16:09] <mi3> bye guys,have fun!
[16:09] <Tostada> Nope.. but I did install all the security patches.
[16:09] <_Marcus> Tostada: Well did you visit a site, and then see this people123 site?
[16:09] <_Marcus> Tostada: Or did you just start up Firefox and see it
[16:09] <realm174> Noob question: How can I copy a file from Ubuntu to a Windows shared *without* actually mounting the share? (to be used in a shell script)
[16:10] <Tostada> No I had firefox running for probably 4 days.
[16:10] <Oer> realm174, you cannot copy any file not without mounting.
[16:10] <hatop> realm174: you could setup ftp? Otherwise, I think you have to mount the CFS share
[16:11] <kernix> hi all
[16:11] <comunistu> cum fac sa  se afiseze ferestrele deschise in toate spatiile de lucru in ubuntu 10.10?
[16:11] <_Marcus> Tostada: No, listen. Did you see this "transfering data to people123.com" when you were on a website?
[16:11] <sacarlson> realm174: Oer: you could share it over http with apache2 if so desired
[16:12] <llutz_> realm174: use smbclient
[16:12] <Somelauw> xpdf in ubuntu 11.4 just gives a segmentation fault. Ever after reinstalling.
[16:12] <Tostada> Yes.. hotmail.com gmail.com and castanet.net
[16:12] <comunistu> ubuntu romania
[16:12] <realm174> thanks guys. The only reason why I don't want to mount is that the windows machine is not always on.
[16:12] <_Marcus> Tostada: It's an advertisment, so everything is fine.
[16:13] <realm174> llutz: I can do it by hand using sbmclient, I just have no idea what all to put in a sh script to do the same thing.
[16:13] <_Marcus> Tostada: It's probally just getting information from your client, or sending it to your client, with Cross Site Scripting in JavaScript
[16:13] <Tostada> Shouldn't people123.com show up in my history.?
[16:13] <_Marcus> Tostada: Not with the way it's getting the information.
[16:13] <_Marcus> Tostada: Read about JavaScript.
[16:13] <keit> like my new gamepad? http://imagetoo.com/?v=448d129570.jpg

[16:13] <Tostada> Okay, Thankyou very much..
[16:13] <comunistu> how to display applications in all workspaces
[16:13] <comunistu> ?
[16:14] <g1c9> whatap homies -- I use ssh a ton but it always times out on me.. how do i set it to do some keep-alive thingy?
[16:14] <llutz_> realm174: the same you do manually, you might replace filenames/pathes with varnames taken from commandline ($*)
[16:14] <_Marcus> keit: Does it have USB support?
[16:14] <realm174> llutz: oh, that simple... well, time for me to go give it a try then. thanks for the tip!

[16:20] <RoK-Geppie> Hey guys, i need a bit of help, I'm trying to install the driver in ubuntu for mt geforce gt 430, how do i install?
[16:20] <RoK-Geppie> I'm running ubuntu 10.04
[16:21] <Trevor69420> RoK-Geppie, did u read the instructions for the driver?
[16:21] <Trevor69420> does it have a native linux build?
[16:21] <RoK-Geppie>  you mean 32 bit? yea
[16:21] <sorin_> rok  run hardware driver
[16:22] <RoK-Geppie> sorin, it doesnt find asnything for nvidia, so thats out
[16:22] <Trevor69420> no i mean did you go online and see if it had a Linux driver?
[16:23] <_Marcus> RoK-Geppie: It's 32-bit right?
[16:23] <RoK-Geppie> oh yea, it has a driver, i dl'ed it right from nvidia
[16:23] <RoK-Geppie> yea, its 32 bit
[16:23] <_Marcus> RoK-Geppie: So what problem are you having then?
[16:23] <sorin_> rok  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-295.20-driver.html
[16:23] <RoK-Geppie> lol, I'm a mudduck to nvidia, I'm trying to install it, lol
[16:23] <phrontist> does anyone know of an ubuntu package equivalent to the grdc (grand digital clock) on FreeBSD. It drew (with curses) a clock.
[16:23] <_Marcus> sorin_: He has the driver already
[16:24] <Trevor69420> RoK-Geppie, ok then wat have you done so far to install it?
[16:24] <_Marcus> RoK-Geppie: The file you downloaded, what file extension is it?
[16:24] <sorin_> run jokey
[16:24] <Mech0z> how do you make ubuntu list all the drives in terminal?
[16:25] <Mech0z> (So I can add them to a zfs pool)
[16:25] <RoK-Geppie> well, i tried installing it by double clicking the file, and i tried running the install as root, but then it says it wont install with x server running
[16:25] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, fdisk -l
[16:25] <KM0201> *  sudo fdisk -l
[16:25] <KM0201> you have to use sudo
[16:25] <SubjectOne> is there an extension , for an terminal to automaticly stay on-top ?
[16:25] <raidmaster> Tostada you dont want to hit /dev or /proc try find ... -print0 | while IFS= read -rd '' f; do printf '%s\n' "${f##*/}"; done
[16:26] <sorin_> rok----http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-nvidia-graphics-driver-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat
[16:26] <martian> SubjectOne: you can right click the right corner of the window and select that option
[16:26] <raidmaster> Still wondering if there is a pdf editor that is any good that is FOSS.
[16:26] <RoK-Geppie> mine isnt called meerkat from what i seen, its called lynx for 10.04
[16:26] <Trevor69420> RoK-Geppie, did you try going to terminal and typing ./NVIDIA-LINUX-X86-<version>
[16:26] <Trevor69420> .run
[16:26] <SubjectOne> yeah, but when closed, and reopenend, it didn't remember that setting
[16:27] <RoK-Geppie> just ./nvidia-linux-x86-name?
[16:27] <sipior> raidmaster: have you tried pdfedit?
[16:27] <sorin_> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[16:27] <Chipzzz> RoK-Geppie: you probably have to stop the x server first
[16:27] <martian> SubjectOne: true. Check out the last reply to http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/is-there-a-always-on-top-option-for-gnome-terminal-809611/
[16:28] <raidmaster> sipior no but Ill take a look at it. Can I change spelling errors etc?
[16:28] <sorin_> http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-graphical-driver-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04
[16:28] <Somelauw> What is wrong with ubuntu 11.4. Why is my computer making so much noise?
[16:28] <sipior> raidmaster: i imagine so.
[16:28] <raidmaster> sipior thx
[16:28] <sorin_> rok----http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-graphical-driver-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04
[16:28] <raidmaster> Somelauw try df -h and see how much ram you got
[16:28] <RoK-Geppie> yea, how do i kk, ty sorin ;)
[16:28] <raidmaster> Somelauw or just top
[16:29] <martian> SubjectOne: so you could create a gnome-terminal session with a fixed window title, and then modify the shortcut and add "& wmctrl -r TitleName -b add,above" to the command
[16:29] <RoK-Geppie> mmm, it doesnt show anything for stopping x server
[16:29] <zagibu> Somelauw: Ubuntu has changed from electronic to mechanical computing in 11.4, which obviously produces more noise, but is less reliable and much slower
[16:29] <SubjectOne> so i need an secondary application for that
[16:29] <SubjectOne> thanx anyways
[16:30] <Somelauw> raidmaster: 64% is used. How on earth is that possible?
[16:30] <Chipzzz> RoK-Geppie: sudo service gdm stop
[16:30] <raidmaster> RoK-Geppie not sure what UI you are using buy Ctrl + Alt backspace is the normal way of doing that.
[16:30] <_Marcus> Somelauw: When was the last time you restarted your computer?
[16:31] <Somelauw> _Marcus: About half an hour ago.
[16:31] <raidmaster> Somelauw That is most likely just cached memory. Is your computer swapping?
[16:31] <KM0201> RoK-Geppie: just make sure you know how to get back to X when you run that command
[16:31] <raidmaster> Somelauw using swap that is.
[16:31] <Somelauw> Right now Only weechat and firefox are open and some window manager and usual stuff.
[16:31] <chuspisarmiento> hi, i got a issue, when my laptop is unplugged from power, my wireless card has a very low perfomance when i am working in ubuntu anyone has a idea about this?
[16:31] <chuspisarmiento> electricidad
[16:31] <RoK-Geppie> kk lol :)
[16:32] <Mech0z> how do I make myself owner of a folder I just created (Its a ZFS pool)
[16:32] <KM0201> chuspisarmiento: what is your wireless chipset.. it's probably one of those low poewr jobbies
[16:32] <Trevor69420> KM0201, doesnt "startx" bring X back?
[16:32] <raidmaster> Somelauw hit this cmd " free -m " and look if swap is 0
[16:32] <KM0201> Trevor69420: i don't think so, because technically, X is still running
[16:32] <Trevor69420> oh
[16:32] <Chipzzz> Trevor69420: "sudo service gdm start" works
[16:32] <Trevor69420> stopx
[16:32] <Trevor69420> lol
[16:32] <chuspisarmiento>  KM0201:09:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[16:32] <Somelauw> raidmaster: swap is 0
[16:32] <raidmaster> Somelauw if your swap is not 0 then you have a ram issue. Need more.
[16:33] <raidmaster> OK well its not the ram
[16:33] <KM0201> chuspisarmiento: weird, i have that on a laptop, and it works flawlessly
[16:33] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, Did someone answer your ownership question?
[16:33] <_Marcus> raidmaster: How much RAM is in your machine?
[16:33] <Mech0z> Trevor69420 no
[16:33] <Mech0z> is there no GUI for changing owner?
[16:33] <KM0201> i thought linux support for ZFS was still very shaky
[16:34] <chuspisarmiento> i had that issue a long time and its just in ubuntu i also had windows and works fine
[16:34] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, try "chown <username> <filename>
[16:34] <Trevor69420> sudp first tho
[16:34] <Trevor69420> sudo*
[16:34] <sipior> KM0201: works pretty well, actually
[16:34] <asraniel_> hi. i have a bug that when i work with graphs in libreoffice calc, i have a very hight chance of freezing the whole deskopt. including the keyboard, i can't even ctrl+alt+f1 to a console. is this known? using kubuntu 11.10 (libreoffice is not a kde app, so thats why i'm asking here)
[16:34] <_Marcus> Somelauw: how much RAM is in your machine
[16:34] <Mech0z> KM0201 I am only doing it to miggrate data from my old solaris system to a ubuntu client
[16:34] <_Marcus> raidmaster: Sorry 'bout that
[16:34] <KM0201> sipior: does it?... i just remember a bunch of tools in #freenas talking about it
[16:34] <raidmaster> _Marcus I use a OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS and don't want writes on it so I changed my fstab to put everything in RAM. I have 32GB
[16:35] <KM0201> Mech0z: makes sense... i personally will wait for btrfs
[16:35] <_Marcus> raidmaster: Heh, I meant Somelauw :P
[16:35] <sipior> KM0201: release schedule is pretty conservative, but i've been pretty happy so far.
[16:35] <Mech0z> KM0201 ``
[16:35] <Mech0z> `what?
[16:35] <Somelauw> Wait, why was I looking at df -h? free -m says only 574 is cached. df -h is my hard disk so that doesn't matter.
[16:35] <KM0201> Mech0z: i mean, rather than trying to use zfs in Linux, i'll just wait for btrfs for Linux to be perfected (that was actually for sipior
[16:36] <_Marcus> Somelauw: how much RAM is in your machine
[16:36] <Somelauw> df -h doesn't display ram, but diskspace
[16:36] <Somelauw> _Marcus: 1 gig.
[16:36] <sipior> KM0201: enjoy the wait :-)
[16:36] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, did that work?
[16:36] <KM0201> Somelauw: free -m
[16:36] <Mech0z> KM0201 what is btrfs?
[16:36] <KM0201> !btrfs
[16:36] <Mech0z> Trevor69420 one sec
[16:36] <KM0201> Mech0z: think of it as a the linux version of ZFS
[16:37] <Somelauw> Okay, it stopped making noise. I don't think anything is wrong.
[16:37] <Mech0z> Trevor69420 seems like it did the trick :)
[16:37] <raidmaster> Somelauw You can see how much RAM you have under total mem with "free -m"
[16:37] <Mech0z> no Ijust wonder if I can access it inside openindiana
[16:37] <Mech0z> KM0201 but isnt linux raid good enough?
[16:37] <Somelauw> raidmaster: http://pastebin.com/x3jBFS2t
[16:38] <KM0201> Mech0z: for me, yes... but.. some folks like the pool options/speed of ZFS/btrfs
[16:38] <KM0201> Mech0z: i use Raid on my Linux server, it's yet to let me down
[16:38] <Mech0z> I am trying to get raid5 software raid, that should be enough redundency for my private server
[16:38] <Mech0z> then I can add a second drive to make it raid6 at some point
[16:38] <raidmaster> Somelauw its all good. You got 4GB of RAM your not swapping.
[16:38] <makara> I want to play Skyrim without dualbooting to Windows. What are my options? VBox DirectX drivers don't emulate 3D hardware acceleration well enough
[16:39] <Mech0z> KM0201 shouldnt taht be fine, without a backup
[16:39] <raidmaster> Somelauw your drive might be dieing?
[16:39] <sipior> makara: just run windows for it. seriously, life is too short.
[16:39] <KM0201> Mech0z: it suits me fine, but you know, some folks are never happy
[16:39] <Somelauw> raidmaster: huh? Why would my drive be dying?
[16:39] <Somelauw> dieing *
[16:40] <Mech0z> KM0201 year thats what I said, but they didnt get that I didnt have backup of my data, but then I need twice as many disks aka $$$
[16:40] <KM0201> Mech0z: right
[16:40] <raidmaster> Somelauw they do that at times. You can use the SMART in your drive to see if it is OK.
[16:40] <chris_99> i've just tried to upgrade ubuntu to the latest, and now i'm getting 'dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dpkg-dev:'
[16:40] <Somelauw> raidmaster: Why do you think my drive is dying?
[16:40] <KM0201> Mech0z: but.. i have 2, 2tb drives on my server, and they are in Raid 1.. money for drives is not the issue for me, redundancy is
[16:40] <chris_99> whenever i try and complete the upgrade
[16:40] <Mech0z> KM0201 have thoguht about doing raid1 though, but thats still pretty expensive
[16:41] <raidmaster> Somelauw weird sounds and slow you said
[16:41] <Mech0z> KM0201 well I just bought 2 3tb as they had a cheap offer (very cheap in these times) and my 5 1 tb in raidz (raid5) are full
[16:41] <Mech0z> but want to transfer the data from those drives to linux
[16:41] <KM0201> good lord
[16:41] <KM0201> 5, 1tb?
[16:41] <KM0201> you must look at a lot of internet porn
[16:41] <Mech0z> lol
[16:42] <Trevor69420> i have 16 x 1TB drives
[16:42] <Trevor69420> in RAID 10 though
[16:42] <Somelauw> Just noisy actually. Speed is not a problem.
[16:42] <Mech0z> so you get 8 disks space?
[16:43] <raidmaster> Somelauw what DE are you using. Xfce, Gnome, Unity?
[16:43] <Somelauw> Maybe it is an improvement against the heat.
[16:43] <Trevor69420> 8 disks space?
[16:43] <Trevor69420> you mean 8 TB of disk space
[16:43] <Trevor69420> yes
[16:44] <Mech0z> isnt raid10 8 disks with 8 disks redudency?
[16:44] <Trevor69420> RAID 10 can be however many disks u use
[16:44] <raidmaster> Somelauw install the Gnome tool Disk Utility and then go into SMART data. Will tell you if your disk is happy
[16:44] <Somelauw> raidmaster: okay
[16:44] <Trevor69420> if you have 20 disks in RAID 10 the stripes is across 10 of them
[16:44] <Trevor69420> in RAID 10 you need an even number of disks
[16:44] <Mech0z> yes
[16:44] <Mech0z> what I meant
[16:44] <Trevor69420> your space is half the total number cuz it's striped and mirrored
[16:44] <Mech0z> same as raid1 just with the speed of raid0
[16:45] <Trevor69420> well no
[16:45] <Trevor69420> RAID 1 is fault tolerent
[16:45] <Trevor69420> RAID 0 is not
[16:45] <BattlestarB> i installed chromium through application center but it is v 17, why is that?
[16:45] <Trevor69420> RAID 5 is just eh in my opinion
[16:45] <Mech0z> you get the speed from raid0 and the redundency from raid1
[16:45] <Mech0z> ?
[16:45] <Trevor69420> when something goes wrong with RAID 5 it can be a pain to fix
[16:45] <raidmaster> Trevor69420 10 really means RAID 1 and RAID 0.
[16:45] <Mech0z> dont raid5 fix itself?
[16:45] <Mech0z> if you just replace the drive
[16:46] <Trevor69420> i get the striping of RAID 0 and the redundancy of RAID 1
[16:46] <Trevor69420> yes I know raidmaster
[16:46] <BattlestarB> i installed chromium through application center but it is v 17, why is that?
[16:46] <raidmaster> Trevor69420 yes
[16:46] <Trevor69420> it's RAID 1+0 i was answering Mech0z's quesstion
[16:46] <Dante> Hey everyone I'm facing one of the weird and difficult to solve problems on my short ubuntu life, its about my internet connection on ubuntu 10.4, a wired connection, that works perfectly with the same hardware in windows, but in ubuntu its messy. I have lots of info about my system here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1932983 just hoping there is someone able to tackle this one... and help me out
[16:46] <roknir> i had my desktop icons hidden with /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop=false before upgrading to 11.10.  after upgrading, i want to see my desktop icons again, but /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop=true doesn't work.  how can i re-enable my desktop icons and the right click menu?
[16:47] <Trevor69420> well yes Mech0z RAID 5 is self fixing but it's not as flexible as RAID 1 and it sufferes for major performance issues when degraded
[16:47] <Trevor69420> it's also not cost effective when dealing with write intensive applications
[16:47] <SubjectOne> ah crap, can you repeat your last sentence to me plz
[16:47] <_Marcus> BattlestarB: Try getting it from the Chromium website
[16:47] <Trevor69420> i also think RAID 5 is slower than RAID 10 at least in reading
[16:48] <Trevor69420> but the write speed varies based on controller
[16:49] <Trevor69420> all RAID has it's downsides
[16:49] <compdoc> Trevor69420, raid 5 can be very fast - all depends on the controller
[16:49] <Trevor69420> but i think RAID 10 has the least downsides
[16:49] <_Marcus> !ot | All of your discussing RAID(5 > all)
[16:49] <Trevor69420> that's what i said compdoc
[16:49] <_Marcus> !ot
[16:50] <raidmaster> Dante I am guessing you have a Realtek chip? Test with lspci | grep --color Realtek
[16:50] <Dante> raidmaster: yes, its a realtek
[16:51] <roknir> does anyone know how to hide/show desktop icons in 11.10?
[16:52] <raidmaster> Dante I'm on Debian atm but to get them work right you need to install firmware-realtek
[16:53] <raidmaster> Dante personally I hate Realtek for using binary blobs.
[16:53] <Dante> raidmaster: did u checked the post I made on the latest link, there is a lot of info on the commands I run. How can I install that firmware-realtek?
[16:53] <raidmaster> Dante no Ill take a look at it now.

[16:58] <Girffe> Hey, I want to make a keyboard shortcut that types a special character when I use it
[16:58] <Girffe> is this possible with the keyboard shotcut menu in ubuntu?
[16:58] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[17:01] <raidmaster> Dante looking at your eth0 it is obvious your router is acting as gateway. Is this cmd giving you the IP to your router too cat /etc/resolv.conf
[17:02] <raidmaster> Dante and thus acting calling your DNS stuff
[17:02] <Krissed> Hi guys. Having permissions problem. Ive got a MAC formated hdd connected via usb. I need to delete files from it (im in livecd mode ubuntu) how do i take ownership of the entire hdd ?
[17:02] <Dante> raidmaster: yes it gives me the ip of my router
[17:03] <Dante> raidmaster: I actually tried to set up OpenDNS, instead of my router IP in there, because I found it weird, but it didn't solve the problem
[17:03] <Dante> raidmaster: I did it with gnome-netowrk-admin
[17:03] <mmcji> how do i find the package version a .deb is built from.  i.e. not the ubuntu package version name, but the original source package revision?
[17:03] <raidmaster> Dante one thing you can do is try plugging your computer right into your wall and see if it works. Could be your router has issues with ipv6
[17:04] <raidmaster> Dante if your computer does work when by passing the router disable ipv6 (I do this any way for speed and privacy)
[17:05] <Dante> raidmaster: my broadband company gave me this modified router, it acts as a modem dialing by itself
[17:05] <Andrew131> How can I go back one version on the kernel?  I want to use 3.0.0-15 not 3.0.0-16
[17:05] <Dante> raidmaster: so I can not connect without the router
[17:06] <raidmaster> Dante ahh man. Your IPS are a bunch of morons. OK. The Maxim Transfer Units look OK at 1500. Looking
[17:06] <Dante> raidmaster: I would disable IPv6 anyway, I have went to edit connection in gnome-network-admin, and then edited the eth0 connection, in the IPv6 option I have set Ignore
[17:06] <Halexander9000> Help please?
[17:07] <Dante> raidmaster: thanks in advance by your help, other guys just tryed to help me and they couldn't...
[17:07] <raidmaster> Dante a good way to disable IPv6 is /etc/sysctl.conf
[17:07] <raidmaster> then add this
[17:08] <raidmaster> net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
[17:09] <Dante> raidmaster: everything in that file is commented,
[17:09] <raidmaster> Yeah just add the line on the bottom
[17:09] <Dante> oks
[17:10] <Dante> raidmaster: should I restart something?
[17:11] <raidmaster> Dante yeah
[17:11] <raidmaster> Dante there are cmds to do it but its faster and surer to just reboot.
[17:11] <gmachine_24> I can't run  "jar"  - I get jar: command not found. I need to run "jar". Thx.
[17:12] <Dante> raidmaster: rebooting :), I'm connected here from my laptop

[17:13] <Pici> Halexander9000: your question is getting cut off.

[17:13] <Halexander9000> I tried to convert it using this guy's tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChgTqsZM6UM . Same result. Then I tried this guy http://www.markandey.com/2010/09/how-to-fix-ogv-file-to-upload-on.html . Exactly the same video errors. Those same tetris pieces of scrambled video data covering the text and edges of objects contained within the video. I really need some advice on how to convert it properly. Help please?

[17:13] <Halexander9000> How about now?
[17:14] <grex25> Try Kdenlive ;)
[17:14] <Kus> I have a network-manager issue.
[17:14] <Kus> In the manager i can't find my ip on 11.10, but on my other laptop with 10.10 I get it.
[17:15] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 OpenShot is a joke. Try Kdenlive.
[17:15] <grex25> Kus open a terminal and type: ifconfig
[17:15] <gmachine_24> Kus - can't you just click on "Connection Information" ??
[17:15] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 made a video that I put on youtube that should help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0IDV6r-bCI
[17:16] <Kus> grex25: gmachine_24, it can connect to other wifi networks, but not to mine.
[17:16] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 I am a dev on ffmpeg
[17:16] <gmachine_24> Kus, oh.
[17:16] <Halexander9000> Hold on. Ffmpeg won't work.
[17:16] <Halexander9000> That first guy used it as part of his script.
[17:17] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 I wrote an automagic script that will compile and install ffmpeg from git. x264 and well everything.
[17:18] <Krissed> Anyone familiar with issues regarding macOS formated HDD which i cant optain write permissions to ?
[17:18] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 here is the script http://pastebin.com/uHZx6wJR
[17:18] <Halexander9000> Raidmaster, I already have ffmpeg on my computer.
[17:18] <Halexander9000> All I'm saying is that it's output is full of video errors.
[17:19] <grex25> Kus: Did you try to reset your router? Also delete your connection details
[17:19] <yassine> moe.Yassine
[17:19] <onryo> Halexander9000 not sure how the Ubuntu repos bundle ffmpeg. Do you have x264 and all the stuff around?
[17:19] <lorrien3> dasd
[17:19] <Halexander9000> Do you understand me, onryo.
[17:20] <Halexander9000> I don't know what you're talking about.
[17:20] <onryo> Halexander9000 just tell me what you want to do. Ill give you the cmd
[17:21] <Halexander9000> I'm trying to remove a faulty ppa entry. What's the opposite of this command? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
[17:21] <kk23> i try to install linux and appear a message disk is not readable how to fix it without loss data?
[17:22] <Pici> Halexander9000: remove the offending file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[17:22] <grex25> Halexander9000: You can remove it via Ubuntu Software Center
[17:22] <Halexander9000> Pici: Your command was wrong.
[17:22] <Dante> raidmaster is still not working properly
[17:23] <onryo> Halexander9000 go into /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the ppl. Make sure there is nothing there about his ppl in in .list.d too
[17:23] <onryo> Halexander9000 then do a sudo update
[17:23] <Halexander9000> There is no .list.d file
[17:23] <Pici> Halexander9000: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is a directory, not a file.
[17:23] <Halexander9000> Gedit says it's a directory.
[17:24] <onryo> Halexander9000 good. But first I would do a apt-get remove --purge crap-program
[17:24] <Pici> Halexander9000: And each time you use add-apt-repository, it creates a new file for that repo.
[17:24] <Halexander9000> It's try Ubuntu Software Center.
[17:24] <Halexander9000> I see Pici. Sorry for the missunderstanding.
[17:25] <Halexander9000> Alright.
[17:26] <Halexander9000> So, I'll see what Kdenlive can do.
[17:26] <onryo> Halexander9000 then a apt-get moo
[17:26] <benbloom_> why would Phonon suddenly show "PulseAudio Sound Server" as the only output option in kubuntu? I had everything configured perfectly (multiple output devices), and now it's just switched all devices to P.A.S.S., and gives no other options
[17:26] <Halexander9000> Onryo, I removed the offending ppa using Ubuntu Software Center.
[17:27] <Tostada> theadmin I've been messing around with that grep command that you pasted for me. This is the result. I get about 20 of these with various locations:  /etc/blkid.tab: No such file or directory
[17:27] <onryo> Halexander9000 OK I was thinking you would purge everything but sure that works.
[17:27] <jtrucks> how do you update to a new maintenance release? (i.e. I'm on 10.04.3 and want to update to 10.04.4?)
[17:28] <Tostada> about 5 of these: /lib/init/rw/sdp: No such device or address
[17:28] <zee> Hi, I need help on Ubunto. Anyone could help me?
[17:28] <Halexander9000> onryo: I didn't want to purge everything. I still have other entries in there that I don't know if it's such a good thing to remove. But I know this, the one I wanted to remove caused errors. No errors now.
[17:28] <Tostada> and a couple like this: /dev/nvidia0: Invalid argument
[17:28] <onryo> zee sure the magic is apt-get moo
[17:29] <onryo> Halexander9000 OK.
[17:30] <onryo> Halexander9000 if you want to convert a file just do this ffmpeg -i moviein.ave -acoded copy -vcodec copy moiveOut.mkv. Of course the in does not need to be avi and the out mkv
[17:30] <bitboy> my friends mac has gesture recognition on his touchpad, im using ubuntu on a toshiba from 2009. can i do two finger scrolling and such
[17:31] <onryo> Halexander9000 file -> movie I should say
[17:31] <danileigh79> bitboy: only if the touchpad itself has multi touch
[17:31] <bitboy> danileigh79: how can i check for that?
[17:32] <danileigh79> bitboy: what model tosiba?
[17:32] <danileigh79> bitboy: toshiba
[17:32] <onryo> Dante you still there? Was wondering if the ipv6 thing I gave  you worked?
[17:32] <bitboy> Satellite L505D-S5965
[17:32] <bitboy> danileigh79:
[17:33] <danileigh79> bitboy: lemme check, brb
[17:33] <Dante> onryo wow you canged your nick, I thought you have left, well not actually still showing problems
[17:33] <Dante> onryo: wow you canged your nick, I thought you have left, well not actually still showing problems
[17:33] <Halexander9000> onryo: Listen please. I tried to use this guy's tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChgTqsZM6UM because he made a script for nautilus that as far as I understand does the same thing you said using a nice little interface automatically for me. It garbles me video data. Not beyond recognition, but it's unbearable to watch.
[17:33] <onryo> Dante yeah I am known by most as Onryo
[17:34] <danileigh79> bitboy: No, it's not multi-touch, sorry
[17:34] <onryo> Dante so the addition of net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf fixed the problem?
[17:35] <bitboy> danileigh79: okay bummer thanks so much for your help
[17:35] <danileigh79> bitboy: no prob
[17:35] <hgggggg> HI
[17:36] <onryo> Dante was thinking that if there is still any issue we could change your DNS resolving so you are not at the mercy of your ISP.
[17:36] <SubjectOne> gnome-terminal --geometry=100x20+660+600 && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,above  ( it won't work ) anybody seeing my syntax error ?
[17:37] <Halexander9000> Ok, I installed Kdenlive from USC. This is the error message I get when I run it.
[17:37] <Dante> onryo: what would be the best way to set that up
[17:37] <Halexander9000> Fatal Error MLT's SDL module not found. Please check your MLT install.
[17:37] <Dante> onryo: I'm up to use opendns or anything
[17:37] <Halexander9000> Kdenlive will not work until this issue is fixed.
[17:38] <Halexander9000> What's that and how can I fix it?
[17:38] <Dante> onryo: if the problem is the dns, shouldn't direct ip connection work perfectly without hessitation? what about if I try that?
[17:38] <onryo> Dante yes you are correct that an IP should work perfectly since you are not doing a look up then.
[17:39] <onryo> Dante I am guessing you are still having problems with your Internet?
[17:40] <shade34321> I was wondering if anybody could tell me what /var/log/consoles is for?
[17:40] <Dante> onryo: yhea, the same behaviour when browsing, 1 of 4 or 5 requests works, and then it works for a few seconds again
[17:40] <Yozap> Hello, can anyone recommend a good C/C++ editor?
[17:40] <shade34321> and what should I do if it's it taking up most of my /var space
[17:41] <cemycc> ? clone
[17:41] <onryo> Dante try installing wireshark and see what is going on.
[17:41] <cemycc> !clone
[17:42] <cemycc> !automate
[17:42] <onryo> Dante there is that nightmare junk that Ubuntu uses with mDNS that your router might not like. Avahi
[17:42] <zykotick9> SubjectOne: the && isn't going to work like you want.  Try "gnome-terminal .... -e wmctrl ..."
[17:43] <Dante> onryo: sudo apt-get install wireshark?
[17:43] <SubjectOne> -e ?
[17:43] <onryo> Dante yup
[17:43] <SubjectOne> j
[17:43] <onryo> Dante then pick eth0 when it starts up and you can see every little packet etc.
[17:44] <SubjectOne> hmm, zykotick9, nope won't work
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Ok, I installed Kdenlive from USC. This is the error message I get when I run it.
[17:44] <SubjectOne> ; || && won't work
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Fatal Error MLT's SDL module not found. Please check your MLT install.
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Kdenlive will not work until this issue is fixed.
[17:44] <SubjectOne> hmm, but the wmctrl -l does work and gives me the Terminal listed
[17:44] <SubjectOne> verry strange problem
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Could you please help me fix it?
[17:45] <Halexander9000> I already tried this http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/mlts-sdl-module-not-found-0 but I can't find the file. Manually or with the aid of the rm command in terminal.
[17:45] <onryo> Halexander9000 ? Weird. What version of GNU/Linux you using. I know ubuntu but is it 11.04?
[17:45] <Halexander9000> onryo: How can I find out?
[17:45] <onryo> uname -a
[17:46] <onryo> just tell me the kernel name
[17:46] <Halexander9000> Linux halexander9000-904HD 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:50:54 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[17:46] <zykotick9> SubjectOne: so sorry, i assumed (incorrectly) that wmctrl was a terminal program you where trying to run.  My bad, ignore me ;)
[17:46] <Halexander9000> onryo: Was that helpful?
[17:46] <Dante> onryo: give me a sec and I will just try it
[17:46] <onryo> Halexander9000 yeah you are using the newest Ubuntu.
[17:47] <Halexander9000> onryo: And that's a problem because... ?
[17:47] <onryo> Halexander9000 No that should not be a problems at all.
[17:47] <SubjectOne> wmctrl is a app for controlling via cli open-applications like possitions etc..
[17:47] <Halexander9000> So, why can't I find that file so I can remove it and make KDenLive work?
[17:48] <SubjectOne> what i want is that my Terminal in Gnome, when started is alway on-top stated
[17:48] <Halexander9000> onryo: ^
[17:48] <onryo> Halexander9000 After you removed your ppa did you do an apt-get  update?
[17:48] <Halexander9000> Yes.
[17:48] <Halexander9000> onryo: What does that have to do with the current issue?
[17:49] <ungagnigna> ciao
[17:49] <onryo> Halexander9000 sounds like that ppa dropped its own dependency that is still causing a collision
[17:49] <RxDx> please, i have a notebook with nvidia optimus.. which program should i choose: ironhide or bumblebee?
[17:49] <ungagnigna> !list
[17:49] <Halexander9000> onryo: Well that's peachy. Please tell me you can help me.
[17:50] <onryo> Halexander9000 what was the ppa that you had used?
[17:50] <Halexander9000> onryo: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases
[17:51] <onryo> Halexander9000 handbrake is nice. Dev dropped it last year but good. Anyway to make things easy try the program bitbleach and do a system clean
[17:52] <Halexander9000> onryo: That program sounds awful. I'll do it!
[17:53] <Dante> onryo: its taking kind of long  to install wireshark since it looses connection and restart again, but its going forward
[17:53] <onryo> Dante sounds like your net is really SLOW
[17:54] <Dante> onryo: its download at 13kb per second.... usually I download at 200kb/sec
[17:55] <Halexander9000> onryo: USC can't find bitbleack
[17:55] <Halexander9000> onryo: USC can't find bitbleach*
[17:55] <onryo> Halexander9000 bitbleach sry
[17:56] <Halexander9000> onryo: Yes, bitbleach, it can't find it.
[17:56] <Halexander9000> onryo: You were right the first time.
[17:56] <onryo> Halexander9000 Ill look in my repo.
[17:57] <Pici> onryo, Halexander9000: the package name is bleachbit
[17:57] <Halexander9000> Psh, well there's your problem onryo.
[17:57] <onryo> Pici I compile my from http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/
[17:57] <onryo> Pici thx for the head up
[17:58] <Halexander9000> Onryo: Installing bleachbit...

[18:06] <Zal> SteveBell, make sure cups is running, then visit http://localhost:631 in your favorite web browser.
[18:07] <eQuiNoX__> is there anyway i can configure totem media player so that i can have multiple instances of the same to run?
[18:07] <SteveBell> zal how can I see if cups is running?
[18:07] <Zal> SteveBell, sorry, I'm not familiar enough yet with ubuntu's service scripts to answer that one well.
[18:07] <starn> Zal: any ideas??
[18:08] <SteveBell> ok, well it's a hint for me to start with.
[18:08] <SteveBell> thx
[18:08] <Zal> starn, eh, stop using pulseaudio? That's the only thing I would think to try.
[18:08] <starn> well i believe my audio player uses alsa.. and even if i tell teamspeak to use alsa it doesn't have effect.
[18:09] <Zal> starn, I mean, I *hear* how cool it is, but it seems to cause a lot of problems. Maybe they've fixed all that recently, I dunno
[18:09] <Krissed> Would anyone happen to know how to alter the permissions for a mac hdd ? i cant delete any files from it
[18:09] <Zal> starn, hm, ok
[18:09] <Krissed> lol Hjemmeplejen. awsome name
[18:09] <Zal> Krissed,
[18:09] <Zal> oops
[18:09] <Krissed> yea
[18:10] <Zal> Krissed, how are you mounting it?
[18:10] <bluefrog> Krissed, it may be mounted read only in which case you will not be able to change
[18:10] <cordyceps> The bios clock is correct but whenever I boot ubuntu it's out by exactly 7 hrs -- which just happens to be the distance from here to Greenwich. How to fix? pls
[18:10] <Krissed> zal via usb. since im in ubuntu live (gotta move files before installing) its just being automounted
[18:10] <Krissed> even when doing a sudo nautilus i cant delete any files
[18:11] <helmut_> hi
[18:11] <Krissed> hi helmut
[18:12] <zykotick9> cordyceps: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" might work
[18:12] <chipotle> how do i compile a tar.gz package; i can't get it through my package manager?
[18:12] <Zal> Krissed, I suppose automount will use your /etc/fstab parameters. You can configure it there to mount rw, with appropriate uid, gid, and umask options. See "man mount" and "man fstab" for details. Ubuntu may have some graphical interface to ease this process, I don't know.
[18:12] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | chipotle
[18:12] <Companion> tar -xvf Krissed.tar.gz
[18:12] <pengw>  hi all
[18:12] <pengw> i have  a question
[18:13] <Companion> pengw, shoot it
[18:13] <zykotick9> chipotle: if you use checkinstall above instead of the regular method you'll be able to uninstall it through regular means (this is a BIG advantage)
[18:13] <Companion> pengw, and you already asked
[18:13] <pengw> i try to do md5sum and then use diff to cmp it but i dont know how
[18:13] <LjL> chipotle: a .tar.gz is just a compressed archive. you use tar like you've been told, then you read the instructions inside it (usually a README or INSTALL file). are you sure the software you want isn't available as an Ubuntu package, though?
[18:14] <pengw> can i use diff to cmp a txt with the the txt in a file? i mean is that diff only able to cmp file with file?
[18:14] <cordyceps> zykotick9: nope, same old same old
[18:15] <zykotick9> cordyceps: well either your timezone is not set, your your clock is set to use UTC instead of local time.  Sorry, not sure how ubuntu deals with that.  Good luck.
[18:15] <starn> i know under connector i see analog output and analog headphones.
[18:15] <LjL> pengw: diff compares files, but you can do "diff <(echo text) file", that's a standard bash thing (if i've got the syntax right)
[18:16] <fairuz_> Does apt-cacher has a build-in monitor to see how much space the cache has taken or what are the packages that are cached?
[18:16] <pengw> thx i will try it
[18:17] <cemycc> I am trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop, I have set the wireless network in install configuration and now i see a empty screen on installer for more than 3mins ?
[18:17] <mace> hi folks. i'm trying to find a mirror for intrepid packages, but not having a lot of luck, any ideas?
[18:17] <Frogzilla> Anybody here have any clue on how to use PPTPD please PM me
[18:17] <urfr332gO> mace, you have 9.10 running?
[18:17] <LjL> mace: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
[18:18] <patients> command to  open url remotely using ssh...
[18:18] <cordyceps> my actual local time now is what tzdata calls greenwich time and vice versa. I have to  use Time & Date utility to reset it.
[18:18] <mace> LjL: tried that, but it only appeared to have cd images etc, not packages?
[18:18] <zykotick9> fairuz_: not sure, but the old school method would be something like "du -sh /var/cache/apt-cacher"
[18:18] <mace> LjL: ignore me :)
[18:18] <LjL> mace: it has packages
[18:18] <chipotle> LjL: yes i'm positive
[18:18] <Frogzilla> I installed PPTPD (apt-get install pptpd) and it wasnt working propperly so I rm -rfv /etc/ppp/ thinking that file was generated by pptpd, where can I get the /etc/ppp/ file back and its contents?
[18:18] <mace> urfr332gO: customer does; i need to migrate them to something up to date
[18:18] <mace> LjL: cheers, ta
[18:19] <fairuz_> zykotick9: thanks. Btz, just found it. sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-report.pl  :)
[18:19] <patients> command to  open url remotely using ssh...
[18:19] <chipotle> where should i put the package to compile, LjL ?
[18:19] <urfr332gO> mace, there is a end of life upgrade would yo like a link?
[18:19] <urfr332gO> you*
[18:19] <LjL> chipotle: anywhere in your home directory
[18:19] <Frogzilla> I installed PPTPD (apt-get install pptpd) and it wasnt working propperly so I rm -rfv /etc/ppp/ thinking that file was generated by pptpd, where can I get the /etc/ppp/ file back and its contents?
[18:20] <mace> urfr332gO: nah, ta; tbh i'm probably going to migrate them to debian with a clean install
[18:21] <urfr332gO> mace, cool so you understand why there is no repo available per-say. :)
[18:22] <lollipopp> hi, im trying to set up a daap server (forked-daapd), how can i give the server the permissions to access my music direktory? error message is: "could not dereference: Permission denied"
[18:22] <patients> command to  open url remotely using ssh...
[18:22] <mace> urfr332gO: of course :) actually what i'm doing is sticking munin on the old box so i can get a gauge as to what the new box needs to look like
[18:24] <fairuz_> Anyone have any idea why I got no output (the screen blanked) after the kernel is booting?
[18:24] <chipotle> how do i add a ppa to ubuntu?
[18:24] <gao> kkkk
[18:24] <fairuz_> But if I boot from the recovery menu, it's good
[18:24] <fairuz_> !ppa | chipotle
[18:24] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | fairuz_
[18:24] <gao> jest tu jakiś polonus?
[18:25] <chipotle> fairuz_: how do i write this ppa in sudo apt-get-repository? https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa
[18:25] <gao> viv la polonez!!!
[18:25] <gao> xxx
[18:26] <chipotle> fairuz_: got it
[18:26] <fairuz_> zykotick9: I will take a look at it. Thanks
[18:26] <gao> dołączył, opuścił, co za świry...
[18:27] <gao> jest ktoś z Polski? Może być ostatecznie nawet pedałłłł, brrrr
[18:27] <pangolin> !polish
[18:28] <Guest22817> how do i get from :/home$  to :/home$ /sidney
[18:28] <LjL> Guest22817: cd sidney
[18:29] <Guest22817> No such file or directory
[18:29] <LjL> Guest22817: well, it does have to exist. also to be accurate, ":/home$ /sidney" makes no sense, i just interpreted it as "/home/sidney$"
[18:29] <zykotick9> Guest22817: if you are sidney just type "cd" to get to your home
[18:31] <JohnNapster> hello
[18:33] <Krissed> Hmm can you convert a mac hdd (guess its hfsplus) to ext or ntfs without losing the files ?
[18:33] <Guest22817> zykotick9, there is a file in sidney called cc i was trying to get to
[18:34] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[18:34] <zykotick9> Guest22817: sorry, i'm still not sure what path you want, or what you really want to do.
[18:34] <arand> Krissed: I think there are few filesystem which can be converted like that.
[18:35] <arand> Krissed: ext -> ext+1 -> btrfs is the only one I know off of the top of my head
[18:35] <Guest22817> i want to cd to the folder in home / sidney called cc
[18:35] <Krissed> arrand well basicly i inherited a portable 1.5gb hdd stuffed with movies and what else. except my uncle had a mac.. im into linux. not macOS. and i need to access the files to delete some of them
[18:35] <Guest22817> hope that makes sense
[18:36] <zykotick9> Guest22817: paths to not have space in them.  do you want "cd /home/sidney/cc" (if cc is a directory)
[18:36] <Zaitzev> hello
[18:36] <Zaitzev> I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 :)
[18:36] <Guest22817> /home/sidney/cc
[18:36] <Zaitzev> how come desktop icons aren't visible?
[18:36] <Halexander9000> Help please?
[18:36] <DaZ> how about cd /home/sidney/cc ? :f
[18:37] <om26er> Zaitzev, desktop icons? can you show a screenshot?
[18:37] <Krissed> zaotzev thats cause it all went to hell with unity.. fortunatly you can get it to look like gnome 2 with gnome3
[18:37] <Zaitzev> om26er: yeah I would like to have desktop icons
[18:38] <Zaitzev> Krissed: is that so..
[18:38] <Krissed> zaitzev my advise is to look at gnome-fallback
[18:38] <Zaitzev> i don't have to have it ofc
[18:38] <JohnNapster> where can i get the sourc code for update-manager package?
[18:38] <Zaitzev> and for some reason newly installed programs doesn't appear in the Alt-Tab list
[18:38] <om26er> Zaitzev, drag from dash and drop over desktop
[18:38] <Krissed> zaitzev i recommend you start by installing synaptic and get gnome-fallback and switch to that
[18:39] <zykotick9> JohnNapster: assuming update-manager is the package name "sudo apt-get source update-manager" might work
[18:39] <Zaitzev> om26er: doesn't work, the icon just pops back into dash
[18:39] <JohnNapster> thanks
[18:40] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[18:41] <zykotick9> Halexander9000: option 1 - use a different video editor that supports .ogv   option 2 - use ffmpeg to convert to a format OpenShot can use
[18:41] <Halexander9000> zykotick9: Option 2 is out of discussion, since the first tutorial uses that.
[18:42] <Halexander9000> Option 1 - KDenLive won't even start.
[18:42] <Halexander9000> MLT's SDL module not found. Please check your MLT install. Kdenlive will not work until this issue is fixed.
[18:42] <VIPER-II> Is there any Mailclient capable of automagically downloading the attachments of a mail to a specified directory every 15 minutes?
[18:42] <Halexander9000> Any idea on how to fix that? I've been through the forum. Nothing really of use there.
[18:42] <zykotick9> Halexander9000: be aware ffmpeg has LOTS of options, you probably should dicard it based on one tutorial.  good luck.
[18:43] <om26er> Zaitzev, seems its working for me
[18:43] <zykotick9> s/should/shouldn't/
[18:43] <Zaitzev> om26er: hm, ok
[18:43] <Zal> VIPER-II, not sure, but my bet would be mutt
[18:43] <om26er> though I use 12.04 but nothing have changed on that front between these two releases
[18:44] <Zephyr> hey
[18:44] <chipotle> where's the gui to add or remove repositories?
[18:44] <om26er> chipotle, software-properties-gtk
[18:44] <Krissed> chipotle uhmm yes in synaptic you can
[18:44] <Krissed> its gui
[18:44] <VIPER-II> Zal: mutt ?
[18:44] <VIPER-II> Zal: I'll go sniff...
[18:45] <noel_g> How can I determine how my terminal settings are being set?  in ~/ I have .bashrc and .profile my settings for PS1 were in .profile and recently I did something and now getting default PS1. tried renamind .bashrc to .bashrc_OLD but still not working
[18:45] <zykotick9> VIPER-II: mutt is an amazing terminal based mail client, no idea if it does what you want though
[18:45] <Zal> VIPER-II, ... no pun intended? ;-)
[18:45] <chipotle> Krissed: i don't see the repos added in apt/sources.lst?
[18:45] <RandLAT> Bash completion is broken on my Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 and I can I recreate the issue at will: if I manually type "git branch -v" a letter at a time, I get the result I want. if I manually type "git br" then press tab whch complete "anch" and finish with " -v" somehow somewhere it kicks me out of the current directory hence the command (git branch -v) fails
[18:45] <Zal> noel_g, read "man bash", search for "INVOCATION"
[18:45] <SubjectOne> is there a way to dock a gnome-terminal to the background ( without the usage of compiz ? )
[18:45] <VIPER-II> zykotick: i'll go sniff for it.
[18:45] <VIPER-II> thanks   :)
[18:46] <dlentz> Halexander9000, do you have this file?: /usr/lib/mlt/libmltsdl.so
[18:46] <Krissed> chipotle Settings > arcive (or so i think it says in english. im using danish ubuntu=
[18:47] <Guest22817> I'm installing conky to use the make command do I point to one of the files  suck conky-all.install?
[18:47] <Guest22817> such as
[18:48] <xrdodrx> Guest22817, why don't you just install the version in Ubuntu's repositories?
[18:48] <zykotick9> Guest22817: (i'm not clear on what you said above)  are you using "make" to install conky?  Why? it's in the repo.
[18:48] <BattlestarB> can you enter "room lists" with empathy?
[18:49] <BattlestarB> i can't open the room list with empathy? how about you?
[18:49] <SubjectOne> aha found it, with devilspie
[18:49] <Guest22817>  sorry i have the basic conky installed this is conky colors
[18:49] <zykotick9> BattlestarB: my personal recommendation would be to use IM clients for IM, and IRC clients for IRC.
[18:49] <BattlestarB> zykotick9: what do ou suggest?
[18:50] <Halexander9000> dlentz: Hold on, I think I solved the issue by installing the program from terminal. It says I need to upgrade MLT
[18:50] <BattlestarB> on ubuntu
[18:50] <zykotick9> BattlestarB: xchat for GUI, irssi for termianl
[18:50] <BattlestarB> ok thanks
[18:54] <Zal> what native tool(s) does Ubuntu come with for building debs?
[18:55] <zykotick9> Zal: for personal use or to distribute?
[18:56] <alfredo> hola
[18:56] <Zal> zykotick9, what factors does that choice affect?
[18:56] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | Zal this is only good for personal use
[18:57] <alfredo> necesito hacer un script para agregar desde consola addons de firefox, tengo problemas con eso ayuda
[18:57] <Pici> !es | alfredo
[18:57] <Zal> zykotick9, I'm familiar with checkinstall. I'm not necessarily starting with source tarballs. I need to build .debs for arbitrary items
[18:57] <alfredo> gracias
[18:57] <zykotick9> Zal: good luck, i'm no help then.
[18:58] <starn> if someone was to break their sound in ubuntu how would one revert backwards to when it was kinda working??
[18:58] <Zal> zykotick9, thanks for the tip anyhow, I do like checkinstall :-)
[18:58] <Pici> Zal: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide , as well as #ubuntu-packaging
[18:58] <zykotick9> starn: gnu/linux doesn't have a "system restore" like windows does
[18:58] <Zal> Pici, thanks
[18:58] <starn> zykotick9: so i am screwed?
[18:58] <zykotick9> starn: no, you just need to "fix" it
[18:59] <starn> i dunno how.
[18:59] <Zal> actually, alsactl does have "restore", but it only works if you save the configuration somewhere first.
[18:59] <Zal> and that's only alsa
[18:59] <zykotick9> starn: well this is the right place to be then.
[18:59] <starn> i do need to upgrade to x64...... it's not detecting all my ram anyways haha...
[18:59] <mister2> hey guys, i just tried to install a bunch of deb files and didn't have the dependencies and was offline. I tried to use aptoncd but that didn't really work for me. is there a simple way to remove the broken packages so i can move the debs to the cache and then install it with apt-get?
[18:59] <zykotick9> starn: can you give details of what you did, or what is happening?  DON'T reply to me
[19:00] <zykotick9> starn: you can't upgrade from 32bit to 64bit, reinstall would be required for that
[19:00] <starn> install alsa drivers for ALC1200 audio.. [my sound card]
[19:00] <starn> i know zykotick9...
[19:01] <Trevor69420> starn: if u reinstall to 64-bit the problem u are having with the sound may be null ;-)
[19:01] <starn> Trevor69420: i am running on no sleep.. does that mean gone? haha
[19:01] <mister2> hey guys, i just tried to install a bunch of deb files and didn't have the dependencies and was offline. I tried to use aptoncd but that didn't really work for me. is there a simple way to remove the broken packages so i can move the debs to the cache and then install it with apt-get?
[19:01] <Trevor69420> no starn
[19:02] <Trevor69420> it means the problem might be gone not the sound
[19:02] <Trevor69420> it will revert back to the way it was before you did whatever you did
[19:02] <Polah> Are there any solutions to the kernel power issues from 2.6 through to 3.0?
[19:02] <milen8204> !no unity
[19:02] <zykotick9> !notunity > milen8204
[19:02] <starn> well Trevor69420 my issue at first was sound came through both my headphones and speakers at same time... i tried fixing that... now i have no sound at all....
[19:03] <Trevor69420> how did u try fixing it?
[19:03] <starn> by installing the alsa drivers for my audio device...
[19:03] <Trevor69420> bbiab i gotta get a sandwich i'm starving here
[19:03] <milen8204> zykotick9: thanks
[19:04] <starn> ok Trevor69420...    also guys.. i'm gonna lay down.. i'll try thinking about how to fix what i did.. if i can't think of a solution i'll be back.. but i'm to sick to be sitting here.
[19:04] <urfr332gO> mister2, back track your installs and remove them, no real answer here, linux does not have a revert to earlier version.
[19:05] <mister2> urfr332g0 i don't follow what you're saying. i have a folder of debs, and i just tried to install them all, some of them are broken, i'd like to run a command with apt-get or something to remove the ones that have unmet dependencies
[19:05] <zykotick9> mister2: are you online now?  have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[19:06] <mister2> zykotick9 i don't want to download ~300 mb of package files, i'm on satellite internet which blows
[19:06] <rusty149> Hi, I can't mount an Apple hard drive in Ubuntu desktop. It is not on any device list. I can't see any errors in dmesg. Any ideas on how to access it?
[19:06] <mister2> i can do it tonight, but i'd rather just do it as i want the programs. i was under the impression aptoncd would grab all the dependencies for me as well, but it did not
[19:07] <Nach0z> rusty149: internal or external?
[19:07] <rusty149> Nach0z: internal Hitachi Sata 250 GB
[19:08] <rusty149> Nach0z: 2.5"
[19:08] <Nach0z> hrm. so it's an IDE drive
[19:08] <noel_g> Zal  got it working, thanks
[19:08] <Nach0z> or no?
[19:08] <Zal> noel_g, excellent
[19:08] <Nach0z> wait no. sata. 2.5" not meaning the 2.5 ide. Um, have you tried mounting your /dev/sd* devices?
[19:09] <rusty149> Nach0z: Technically SCSI SATA i think
[19:09] <Nach0z> as in, checking for /dev/sdb and what not? it might not be in a device list but sometimes you just gotta mount /dev/sdb to something
[19:09] <rusty149> Nach0z: There are 2 /dev/sd entries for a and b. Both accounted for as internal drive and usb
[19:09] <Nach0z> hm....
[19:09] <yun_> join/ #ubuntu.fr
[19:10] <sun_devil> using chmod, how would you change the permissions for a file to -rwxr-x---   ?
[19:10] <zykotick9> rusty149: are you restarting system after attaching SATA drive?
[19:10] <Nach0z> rusty149: have you tried mounting the hard drive on a different machine? might be a faulty drive
[19:10] <urfr332gO> yun_, /join
[19:10] <rusty149> Nach0z: It hangs for about 2 minutes on bios boot
[19:10] <Cognitive> Hi everyone. Trying to get compiz up and running on Xubuntu. I installed nvidia-current and it works fine (I get full resolution and everything) but whenever I run nvidia-xconfig and generate a xorg.conf the system crashes.
[19:10] <rusty149> zykotick9: Yes, attached before boot
[19:10] <Nach0z> heh. Didn't mean BOOTING it, rusty149, I mean mounting it as a secondary drive on another machine
[19:11] <zykotick9> rusty149: ok, just checking
[19:11] <Cognitive> does compiz force using xorg.conf?
[19:12] <iceroot> Cognitive: no
[19:12] <rusty149> Nach0z: It failed to boot in the Mac that it comes from. I attached it to my Ubuntu PC hoping to recover the files like I would for an ntfs or ext drive. But it is not even recognised, so I have not attempted to mount it yet
[19:13] <zykotick9> Cognitive: are you sure your nvidia card is supported by nvidia-current vs. the old drivers?
[19:13] <Cognitive> iceroot: well, it won't run giving me an error Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" followed by Compiz (opengl) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed
[19:14] <Cognitive> zykotick9, I searched a LOT but it's a new card. Nothing shows up on google
[19:14] <urfr332gO> Cognitive, have you looked on the web for tutorials on your release and compiz?
[19:14] <Cognitive> it's geforce GT 635M
[19:14] <Cognitive> urfr332gO, i've been googling for the past few days
[19:14] <Nach0z> rusty149: hm. I honestly don't know how to fix that. sounds like hardware failure to be perfectly honest.
[19:14] <CT1> Hi.  Is there a way to look for a dhcp server on the network at boot and if there isn't one, start dhcp server?  (It's for my NAS device, I want it to be a dhcp server when it boots *only* if there isn't one already on the network) Any tips on what to google?
[19:15] <Cognitive> anyway, the problem seems to be a combination of compiz, xorg.conf and nvidia-current
[19:15] <bzimmerly> rusty149: try "sudo lshw | less" and search for the string "Disk" ... does it display at all?
[19:16] <Cognitive> urfr332gO, by the way, after installing nvidia-current I get full resolution. Isn't that an indicator that the driver is supported?
[19:17] <zykotick9> Cognitive: you weren't kidding about results be thin for that card ;)  good luck man.
[19:17] <urfr332gO> Cognitive, I know nothing about nividia.
[19:17] <rusty149> bzimmerly: Nach0z: I can't see it in there either.
[19:18] <Cognitive> urfr332gO, regardless, I would assume if I reboot and everything works fine and dandy (without xorg.conf) then why would it "not" be supported
[19:18] <rusty149> bzimmerly: Nach0z: Are there any other low level list commands I can run to rule out OS solutions
[19:18] <urfr332gO> Cognitive, so you want me to confirm what I don't know, yeah sure. :)
[19:18] <Nach0z> rusty149: not that I'm aware of, sorry. I really don't know. sudo fdisk -l should list all drives that the OS sees
[19:19] <okum> good, free, simple video editor for ubuntu 11.10?
[19:19] <zykotick9> Cognitive: when you don't have xorg.conf in place, try "lspci -vnvn" find the VGA section, and the kernel driver in use line, i imagine it's gonna say nouveau instead of nvidia
[19:19] <rusty149> Nach0z: tried fdisk teskdisk mount parted lshw dmesg
[19:19] <bzimmerly> rusty149: okay ... yeah, I don't think the disk is responding to the controller. (shrugged shoulders)
[19:19] <cemycc> I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop and my wireless network is set as Unmanaged and I can't connect to internet
[19:20] <sun_devil>   Its a file rwx = 7,  r-x =5,  --- = 0,   so chmod 750  I want the permissions as -rxwxr-x---
[19:20] <zykotick9> cemycc: remove the wireless from /etc/network/interfaces
[19:20] <rusty149> bzimmerly: Nach0z: Thanks anyway
[19:21] <Cognitive> zykotick9: output is : "Kernel driver in use: nvidia" followed by "Kernel modules: nvidia_current, nouveau, nvidiafb"
[19:21] <bzimmerly> rusty149: You're welcome. Good luck man.
[19:21] <Cognitive> zykotick9: do you think I should just rename the driver to nouveau in xorg.conf?
[19:21] <zykotick9> Cognitive: well, that's the nvidia driver then!  so i was wrong.  not sure how that's possible without xorg.conf
[19:21] <uykusuz> hello, can i ask for help about "restarting compiz" here?
[19:21] <zykotick9> Cognitive: NO, you probably want nvidia over nouveau
[19:22] <Cognitive> zykotick9: I'm chatting with you right now on full resolution on my computer booting without xorg.conf
[19:22] <Cognitive> all that I did was to install nvidia-current
[19:22] <zykotick9> Cognitive: that's a mystery to me.  Good luck.
[19:22] <fabio> hi guys
[19:22] <cemycc> zykotick9: same
[19:23] <fabio> im using ubuntu server lastest version and ive installed X window manager and gnomw
[19:23] <fabio> gnome
[19:23] <fabio> but when i start gnome says failed to load session ubuntu
[19:23] <urfr332gO> cemycc, run lspci in the terminal and find the card and post it.
[19:23] <rusty149> fabio: have you installed ubuntu-desktop package?
[19:24] <cemycc> urfr332gO, Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
[19:24] <fabio> rusty149,  yes i have installed with this command apt-get install gdm
[19:25] <zykotick9> fabio: gdm is not gnome
[19:25] <Cognitive> zykotick9: by the way, search the hardware it seems I have to VGA controllers: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) AND 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 124d (rev a1)
[19:25] <Cognitive> is this normal?
[19:25] <Cognitive> to/two
[19:25] <fabio> zykotick9, huh?
[19:25] <zykotick9> Cognitive: AHHH you have one of those hybrid cards
[19:25] <zykotick9> fabio: gdm is Gnome Display Manager, it's not the entire Gnome DE
[19:25] <Cognitive> zykotick9: what's a hybrid card?
[19:25] <rusty149> fabio: try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:25] <fabio> ok
[19:26] <Shambat> having some problems with my user. I seem to have lost my sudo rights or something. I found out when I tried editing an Apache vhost: sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/siteA. I get the following error: Sorry, user shambat is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/siteA' as root on homebox. What could I have done to do this, and how can I fix it?
[19:26] <zykotick9> Cognitive: intel/nvidia thing... you need some special software to use that properly i believe
[19:26] <krycek> type users
[19:27] <Shambat> krycek, that for me?
[19:27] <rusty149> Shambat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[19:27] <Cognitive> zykotick9: oh boy, definitely not available on linux right?
[19:27] <cemycc> urfr332gO, zykotick9 I have restarted the laptop and now is working. thanks for the help
[19:27] <krycek> Shambat: yes, try it
[19:27] <Oer> Cognitive, check out bumbleblee >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[19:27] <Nach0z> I really dislike hybrid graphics setups
[19:27] <Shambat> I get just "shambat", my username
[19:27] <zykotick9> Cognitive: it is actually - there are 2 options i believe, it's not hardware i have
[19:27] <CharminTheMoose> in /etc/sudoers, how do I specify multiple commands to 'NOPASSWD'? doing: 'User ALL=NOPASSWD /usr/bin/dpkg /bin/mount /bin/mount' causes the changes to not take effect.
[19:28] <urfr332gO> cemycc, cool.
[19:28] <Oer> Cognitive, it is not perfect, and there is a channel also > #Bumblebee , those guys are up2date
[19:28] <sun_devil> Anyone know about chmod
[19:28] <krycek> Shambat: if you type sudo -i what happens./?
[19:28] <Cognitive> zykotick9: do I have to remove nvidia-current before trying bumblebee
[19:28] <zykotick9> !anyone | sun_devil
[19:28] <zykotick9> Cognitive: i'm not sure, sorry.
[19:28] <CarlFK> "d-i time/zone string US/Central" - is "Pacific" the string for the west cost?
[19:29] <Cognitive> zykotick9: don't be, you've been very helpful. Thank you so much.
[19:29] <Shambat> krycek: I'm prompted for my password, and then I get: Sorry, user shambat is not allowed to execute '/bin/bash' as root on homebox.
[19:30] <krycek> Shambat: when you type users what happens?
[19:31] <zykotick9> Shambat: did you change your computer's hostname by chance?
[19:31] <Shambat> zykotick9: no I havent changed it ... I checked /etc/hosts and /etc/hostnames and it seems fine...
[19:32] <zykotick9> Shambat: ok, i was just checkin'  good luck.
[19:32] <Shambat> krycek: I just get my username "shambat"
[19:32] <zykotick9> Shambat: that's your issue then!
[19:32] <krycek> Shambat: only one time right?
[19:32] <krycek> bahXD
[19:32] <zykotick9> Shambat: sorry, try "groups" in a terminal - are you a member of admin?
[19:32] <sun_devil> OK chmod 750 did what I wanted just checked it with ls -l
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: what is the output of:  groups
[19:33] <krycek> Shambat: if you have ssh installed maybe you could try % ssh shambat@0.0.0.0 ?
[19:33] <krycek> to see if its a name problem or not what..
[19:33] <sun_devil> How would I set the group to "saints" and the owner to "root" for a file?
[19:34] <Shambat> groups has shambat and www-data  ... I was messing with adding my user to www-data group yesterday ...
[19:34] <zykotick9> sun_devil: "chown root:saints foo"
[19:34] <krycek> I smell norwegians
[19:34] <sagar> hi people
[19:34] <zykotick9> Shambat: you did it wrong, and removed all other groups -- you used usermod didn't you?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: probably why then
[19:35] <krycek> sagar: hi
[19:35] <sun_devil> zykotick9, what is the foo ?
[19:35] <zykotick9> sun_devil: replace foo with the file/directory you want - it's a common term in linux/unix as a variable
[19:35] <Shambat> zykotick9: looking through my history I did: sudo usermod -G www-data www-data
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: reboot to root recovery mode and run: usermod -a -G admin shambat; reboot      You are now in the admin group so can use sudo and can ow add yourself to the usual groups
[19:36] <zykotick9> Shambat: yup, that's the issue - you needed, "sudo usermod -Ga www-data www-data"
[19:36] <Shambat> ah
[19:36] <Shambat> crap
[19:36] <zykotick9> Shambat: the a is append, meaning add vs. replace
[19:36] <Shambat> I should have come here first before messing with that stuff :P
[19:36] <krycek> touche
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: or searched the web a little
[19:37] <Shambat> yeah
[19:37] <Shambat> I was not being careful enough
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: my groups says:  $USER adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[19:38] <Shambat> can I reboot to root recovery mode and control it via SSH?
[19:38] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: sudo?  that should be admin shouldn't it?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: no need, you will be at the local system
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: not sure, bit weird. This is precise prerelease and I've not added my user to any groups
[19:39] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: debian has always used sudo, so perhaps ubuntu is changing to using that?
[19:39] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: yeah I'm only wondering cause getting a monitor to the box will be a pain
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: you could boot to root recovery with network and SSH, but you'll need local access to get to that point
[19:40] <sun_devil> zykotick9, thanks
[19:40] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: ok
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: possibly, never noticed it tbh. never had to mess with groups :)
[19:40] <pedro> oi
[19:41] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: guess it will be a lesson for me :)
[19:41] <Cognitive> zykotick9: Dude, you are awesome. It's definitely a hybrid card and definitely a bumblebee solution.
[19:42] <krycek> oi
[19:42] <Cognitive> installed it and everything went smoothly without even a reboot
[19:42] <zykotick9> Cognitive: awesome!
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> dual gpu success story!?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> wow
[19:43] <Cognitive> zykotick9: weird card for sure! From what I read, they just created it to reduce energy consumption by going through the intel interface
[19:43] <sun_devil> zykotick9, I have a file with a certain word in it  and want to find all the lines that do not have this word using the grep
[19:43] <Shambat> What I was trying to do was to have a situation where I can edit files on my web folder remotely, and still keep the owner as www-data:www-data ... what is the best way to accomplish that? Right now I just changed my Apache run user to shambat and have all the files owned by shambat:shambat
[19:43] <pilz> How do I browse/install packages? "Ubuntu Software Center" in the launcher seems to be missing A LOT
[19:43] <Cognitive> anyway, thank you again, I feel great
[19:44]  * krycek 420!!!
[19:44] <RandLAT> Seems I fixed my issue with broken tab completion by copying over the files from /etc/skel into my user profile
[19:44] <sun_devil> I only know basic commands
[19:44] <zykotick9> sun_devil: sorry, no suggestions for that.  "IF" you don't get an answer here, try #bash
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: could make a group and add your user and www-data to the group, then change the group ownership to that group
[19:44] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: yeah thats what I was trying to do :) ... so I had the right idea
[19:44] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i didn't think you could nestle groups like that?
[19:45] <sun_devil> zykotick9, the channel #bash ?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: its the www-data user and the users user
[19:45] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: oh, the www-data user, sorry - ignore me
[19:45] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[19:45] <zykotick9> sun_devil: ya #bash channel as amazing at the terminal stuff - they're pretty "serious" though
[19:46] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: could I also make a group www-data, and add my user to that group?
[19:46] <Wiz_KeeD> guys
[19:46] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i create a wireless hotspot in ubuntu 10.4? please
[19:46] <Wiz_KeeD> :(
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: that group already exists
[19:46] <zykotick9> Shambat: there already is a www-data group, and yes
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> !ics | Wiz_KeeD
[19:46] <Shambat> cool ... thanks for all the help guys!
[19:49] <Halexander9000> Help please?
[19:49] <Halexander9000> Anyone?
[19:50] <Halexander9000> I've spent 7 hours today on that problem. My head is hurting and I really need to get this done today.
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: convert it to avi, may help
[19:50] <MonkeyDust> Halexander9000  i'd say, ask in #ubuntustudio, even if you're using plain ubuntu
[19:52] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: With what? Nothing seems to work. And I'm getting increasingly aggravated by it.
[19:52] <Wiz_KeeD> woah
[19:52] <Wiz_KeeD> that looks complicated
[19:52] <Wiz_KeeD> i don't want to meddle around
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/how-to-convert-ogv-avi-ubuntu/
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> Wiz_KeeD: you are adding router functionality to your OS, its not something simple
[19:53] <Zaitzev> has anyone tried serviio, the dlna server program?
[19:53] <Zaitzev> or any dlna server that actually works on ubuntu.
[19:53] <pex> does anyone know where to find the channel topic?
[19:54] <MonkeyDust> !topic
[19:54] <pex> thanks
[19:54] <pex> topic
[19:54] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: But it uploads just fine! I want to edit it. Then upload it. Nothing seems to render it properly. All I get as output is scrambled tetris I tell you, scrambled squarish garbled video data of tetris.
[19:55] <MonkeyDust> "set by LjL"...
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: then try converting it so that the editor can read it, the fact you can upload it is fairly moot
[19:55] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: With what?
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: I gave you a link...
[19:55] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: You're right, I'll see what it does.
[19:56] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I'm sorry, but I'm really stressed out you wouldn't believe.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: i'm sure nobody will die if you don't get the fileuploaded
[19:57] <Buglouse> pastebinit does not upload with account information when -[up] args are passed, external login authenticates successfully. Tried modifying relevant config with api values. using pastebin.com
[19:57] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I know. But the thing that most annoys me is that these problems always seem to arise whenever I want to -not- be lazy for a change.
[19:58] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I could've just uploaded that file with no audio commentary, but no, I just have to do something about my voice not being in my own recording.
[20:01] <Stevan94NoT> Im getting r6002 error floating point support not loaded when i try to run WoW through Wine
[20:02] <masterlord65> Hi, can anyone help with partitions? The problem is probably a disk geometry. 11.10 Ubuntu server. I create partitions on the disk such as SDD. Everything is OK until you restart the server. After reboot SDD1 partition is invisible. It is not in dev / and / proc / partitions. Sfdisk shows that the partition does exist. After leaving the sfdisk partition appears in the system.
[20:02] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/updjW2Dh
[20:02] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Guess what? That didn't work either.

[20:07] <zykotick9> s9575_: you can't with gnome-shell
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: may help too, there are plenty of sample commands online dude
[20:07] <s9575_> omg, what have they done with gnome....
[20:07] <Jordan_U> s9575_: gnome-shell depends on the mutter window manager.
[20:08] <CharminTheMoose> How can I loop mount files as a normal user on 11.04?
[20:08] <krycek> x)
[20:08] <masterlord65> Jordan_U one minute - restart in progres :)
[20:08] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I know, I've been at it for 7 hours. My brain hurts so much...
[20:08] <s9575_> Jordan_U: ok, thanks
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> CharminTheMoose: I believe only root can mount
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> CharminTheMoose: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso
[20:09] <aethelrick> CharminTheMoose: maybe try fuse, havn't done it myself but i think it should be able to
[20:09] <capslock286> I would like to hear some thought about the Unity-desktop with the Open-source driver of ATI? I use Mobility Radeon 4200 on a Compaq laptop but feel that the Unity desktop is slow
[20:09] <Jordan_U> s9575_: You're welcome.
[20:10] <aethelrick> CharminTheMoose: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
[20:10] <capslock286> If I'd try to use the recommended proprietary drivers, it will be even slower.
[20:10] <capslock286> Any thought on this on how to fix it?
[20:10] <aiphee> capslock286 why it would be slower?
[20:10] <CharminTheMoose> ActionParsnip, is it possible for me to grant a normal user the ability to use mount without the use of sudo?
[20:10] <krycek> what does google say?
[20:10] <CharminTheMoose> aethelrick, cheers, I'll look into that.
[20:10] <zykotick9> !google | krycek
[20:11] <aethelrick> CharminTheMoose: it ships with ubuntu by default
[20:11] <capslock286> I have no idea. By luck, I realised that installing the MESA-utils running the Radeon-driver enables the "Gallium"-experience as stated by system information in the system settings tab in Ubuntu
[20:12] <aiphee> you should give a try to newest propritary driver
[20:12] <pex> am i here?
[20:12] <krycek> ubottu: oh highness :)
[20:12] <krycek> awesome
[20:12] <krycek> there should be a fix out there
[20:12] <capslock286> Ps. I have already Googled this numerous of times, there are numbers of questions about this on launchpad, but none of the solutions provided worked out.
[20:12] <CharminTheMoose> Hmm
[20:13] <pex> i am grey
[20:13] <capslock286> No problem whatsoever with pre-Unity-GUI.
[20:13] <capslock286> So Lucid and Maverick worked like a charm.

[20:15] <capslock286> I have also tried with the Compiz-config utility and setting refresh rate to the manual value of 60HZ and not auto-update. I have also tried the settings in the proprietary Catalyst-interface with "screen tearing" but with no luck.
[20:15] <CFHowlett> Halexander9000   have you tried a vlc conversion?  http://tom.zickel.org/vlcmp4/

[20:19] <capslock286> robert_ what is the problem exactly?
[20:19] <zykotick9> Halexander9000: just an unhelpful FYI, but theora isn't exactly a "modern" video codec... it's open, but doesn't come close to quality of either webm or the proprietary mp4.  I look forwared to a time when webm is more generally supported by applications.

[20:20] <capslock286> robert_  --- I see. What's your network card?
[20:20] <godofwar> anyone know how to maintain my desktop windows and applications after a reboot?
[20:20] <robert__> Ralink
[20:20] <robert__> 5390 i think
[20:20] <capslock286> ok. external USB or internal?
[20:20] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: You second suggestion also gives me the same kind of artifacts.
[20:20] <robert__> internal
[20:20] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Your second suggestion also gives me the same kind of artifacts.
[20:20] <masterlord65> Jordan_U proces after first sfdisk

[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: why state it twice?
[20:21] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Typo.
[20:21] <capslock286> a fast google search, and there seems to be problems with several dists with this particular network card..., robert_
[20:21] <capslock286> hold on.
[20:21] <SH[1]> is there non-freesoftware in ubuntu?
[20:21] <robert__> capslock286: if you could help me find a solution that would be wonderful
[20:21] <SH[1]> i am concerned about my privacy.
[20:21] <zykotick9> SH[1]: lots
[20:21] <Halexander9000> CFHowlett: I'll try it your way.
[20:22] <robert__> capslock286: using a ethernet cable atm

[20:22] <CFHowlett> Halexander9000   I'm interested in the outcome...
[20:22] <capslock286> robert_ check this link.
[20:22] <SH[1]> zykotick9: it isnt safe then. right
[20:22] <zykotick9> SH[1]: depends who you ask...

[20:23] <SH[1]> :(
[20:23] <robert__> and let you know if it works
[20:23] <CT1> Hi.  How can I look for an existing dhcp server on the network before starting dhcpd?
[20:23] <SH[1]> use dhcp client ?
[20:23] <pex> can any one hear me
[20:23] <pex> ?
[20:23] <SH[1]> no
[20:23] <SH[1]> i can only read your words.
[20:24] <pex> haha
[20:24] <cemycc> !clone
[20:24] <pex> i guess i am alive then
[20:24] <SH[1]> pex: no.
[20:24] <capslock286> robert_ please do, this might be a solution for your network card but it is quite tiresome to follow all the 14 steps if you, like me, are a user that prefers to have everything working out of the box - directly :-)
[20:25] <capslock286> robert_e: so if you find this too technical, let me know and I will put som more effort in finding another solution to it.
[20:25] <SH[1]> is there any corporation taking the lead of ubuntu project?
[20:25] <zykotick9> SH[1]: if you want a 100% free distro, you could try Trisquel - it's based on ubuntu
[20:25] <zykotick9> SH[1]: canonical
[20:25] <SH[1]> zykotick9: i am considering ubuntu because of the hardware i have. XPS Dell L502X
[20:26] <Galvatron> And in everything Ubuntu-based as well
[20:26] <zykotick9> SH[1]: ubuntu isn't a community distro, Canonical is the managing company behind it
[20:26] <SH[1]> oh. then i have to trust Canonical.
[20:26] <masterlord65> Jordan_U and at finish proc after rewrite partition on disk sda http://paste.ubuntu.com/861030/
[20:26] <CT1> SH[1]: could you give me an example please?  I have a static IP and want to know if there is another dhcp server running on the network before starting (another) server
[20:26] <CFHowlett> SH[1]   or use someone else's distro ...
[20:26] <Galvatron> SH[1]: Ubuntu has a mixed, Canonical-community support

[20:27] <ActionParsnip> robert__: you need to extract that
[20:27] <robert__> i'm dumb

[20:29] <pex> you're not dumb, rob.
[20:29] <robert__> can you cd to a tar file?

[20:37] <robert__> how do you go backwards in the directory in the terminal
[20:37] <zykotick9> robert__: cd ..
[20:38] <robert__> zykotick9: i'm nooby with ubuntu sorry
[20:38] <zykotick9> robert__: or "cd -" to jump back to a previous directory, not directly below where you are
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> robert__: note there is a space between cd and the 2 periods
[20:38] <robert__> i know
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> robert__: just covering the bases, in windows it's  cd..    without the space
[20:39] <capslock286> how can I delete a directory I accidently made in the root file system?
[20:39] <robert__> is it? i don't use cmd alot
[20:39] <capslock286> an empty one, it is, of course :-)
[20:39] <robert__> the exe files are really handy
[20:39] <zykotick9> capslock286: "sudo rmdir /foo"

[20:41] <BryanRuiz1> where do i disable this button?  i tried system settings > keyboard already
[20:42] <charnel> I have a static ip and 2 computers in a local network how can I reach the web server in one of them from a browser ? When I type the static ip in the browser nothing happens
[20:42] <ccggg> ciaoooooo
[20:42] <ccggg> !list
[20:42] <genii-around> charnel: Try instead the lan ip
[20:43] <squibby> are there any decent ubuntu download mirrors in the US for my future reference?  ubuntu.com seems to not have adequate WAN capacity.
[20:43] <charnel> yes but i want people from outside to reach it. So wondering how to reach it from static_ip/lan_ip
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: just run:   sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/     then log off
[20:45] <genii-around> charnel: If you have already set up port forwarding from the router/modem to the internal ip of the webserver, people should be able to reach it from outside. The problem from trying to use the external ip of it from inside the lan is a routing issue
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: you can then select the wallpaper, then log back in and run: sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop
[20:46] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Will it work now so long after I did up to the third one I have shut down between then and now. Then Where or how do I find the background tab it describes in the log on screen?
[20:46] <robert__> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1645716 i don't get what number 10 is asking me to do
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: its like setting the wallpaper in yourOS, its the same deal
[20:47] <masterlord65> any one can help me with partitions and geometry of disk?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[20:47] <charnel> genii-around: sorry its my bad that I did not exaplain problem correctly. I have a rails app in the localhost:3000 of one of my computer and can connect to that app from the second one. The problem is when I port forward I dont know how to reach the port 3000 of the 1 computer from outside (ie my phone)
[20:48] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: But how do I do it in the log on screen, there is nothing there that will allow me to do it?
[20:48] <shawn> would it be a good idea to dual boot freebsd with ubuntu
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: thats theonly way I know, maybe someone else has a different way. I've not used lucid since Maverick was in Alpha 2
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> shawn: sure, why not
[20:49] <shawn> ahh alright just wondering
[20:50] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Ok will try. Another thing, when I close firefox it closes all my links how do I change this so when it closes it saves my links?
[20:50] <genii-around> charnel: You need in this case to set up your router/modem to port-forward port 3000 to the ip of the machine you wish to reach
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: press CTRL+H and you should see the history
[20:52] <robert__> how can i edit the module file?
[20:52] <robert__> in etc/modules
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> robert__: gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[20:53] <genii-around> robert__: A text editor, using admin rights
[20:53] <cemycc> Someone know why the deja dup backup tool freeze at some random file ? when I want to restore some files from my computer to laptop
[20:53] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: You miss understood me. I want fire fox to save my tabs when it shuts down. So when I start up again everything is set up just like it was before I closed.
[20:53] <CFHowlett> robert__  carefully.  vewwy vewwy carefully.
[20:54] <CFHowlett> BlueWolf   Firefox preferences|Privacy|History settings
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: not sure there dude, I don't use firefox

[21:03] <sun_devil> How would you backup (2) directories to a file name somefile.tar ?
[21:04] <pex> hello, does anyone know what port forwarding is used for?
[21:04] <SH[1]> cargo23: mine gets too hot too quickly.
[21:04] <cargo23> SH[1]:  This is probably OT, since I doubt if it is Ubuntu's fault.
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> pex: allowing access beind a router from outside your LAN to a specific system.
[21:04] <guntbert> pex: yes, but that is not an ubuntu support question, please ask in ##networking
[21:05] <SH[1]> cargo23: i never said it was ubuntu fault.
[21:05] <pex> ok
[21:05] <SH[1]> but if i wanted to meet one person using ubuntu on this laptop this would be a good place.
[21:05] <SH[1]> it isnt offtopic.
[21:05] <cargo23> SH[1]:  ok, I'm sorry.
[21:07] <guntbert> SH[1]: please take it easy on the <enter> key :)
[21:07] <SH[1]> allright.
[21:07] <Burrito> Ello. I'm installing Ubuntu right now, after being a.. oh, it just finished. After being away from it for a year or two. I'd like to know, is there any difference between [KDE installed over normal Ubuntu] and [Kubuntu intstalled from the start]?
[21:07] <Burrito> any major difference*
[21:08] <shawnn> i did not have a good experience using kde on ubuntu although that is just me
[21:08] <grex25> Application standards
[21:08] <shawnn> it seems more stable when you use kubuntu for kde because it is the default desktop env
[21:09] <SH[1]> cargo23: all resources work fine in XPS 15?
[21:09] <cargo23> SH[1]: All the ones I've tried to use, I guess.
[21:09] <Burrito> Ah.. well atm I'm finding it hard getting used to the new Unity things, and I want to have the choice of having KDE as a secondary DE. I've used KDE before.
[21:09] <SH[1]> ill give it a try then.
[21:10] <pex> where is ## networking?
[21:11] <urfr332gO> pex, at that address
[21:12] <grex25> you need to join the channel called "##networking"
[21:12] <Chipzzz> Burrito: i don't like unity much either but i installed cairo-dock on top of it & am delighted with the results!
[21:12] <pex> ok, just seems empty there. Thanks
[21:13] <SH[1]> pex: what is the doubt?
[21:13] <urfr332gO> pex, you have a space in yours not needed.
[21:15] <pex> i am a first timer here
[21:16] <pex> was in ## not ##netwk
[21:17] <Burrito> oh dear.
[21:18] <pex> what the hell was that
[21:18] <Burrito> a netsplit - one freenode server lost communications with another
[21:18] <Chipzzz> pex: i don't see a freenode channel devoted to networking: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/
[21:19] <kron> too many people...
[21:19] <pex> why did that happen?

[21:35] <mbeierl> dweez right click on what?
[21:35] <dweez> the title bar
[21:35] <mbeierl> dweez, the title bar is behind the unity bar
[21:35] <dweez> are you talking a title bar on an application?
[21:36] <dweez> it should be beneath the unity bar
[21:36] <Etherael> can you get ubuntu singleboot on a macbook air? (mid 2011 version)
[21:36] <tonyyy> Hi
[21:36] <battlestarB> Is it safe using ubuntu with admin account?
[21:36] <Etherael> with all the bits working (extended battery life / wifi / full res graphics)
[21:36] <dweez> battlestarB, only as safe as the user
[21:36] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, yes, but yu would not run as root
[21:36] <dweez> preferred method?  Don't
[21:37] <dweez> and use sudo for when you need admin privs
[21:37] <CFHowlett> Etherael   see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[21:37] <mbeierl> dweez, nope.  when new windows open, their title bar is behind the unity bar
[21:37] <battlestarB> 11.10 manually created admin account
[21:37] <battlestarB> it wasn't like that ex versions
[21:37] <PhantomOcelot042> That is similar to my situation, yes.
[21:37] <dweez> Oh wait, I'm using Gnome so I'm not familiar with the "unity bar", sorry mbeierl
[21:37] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, admin is sudo access.
[21:37] <mbeierl> dweez, exactly ;)  Thanks
[21:38] <PhantomOcelot042> ALTHOUGH-  I have no modded anything, straight install from teh ubuntu.com download for the 32bit ubuntu :/
[21:38] <battlestarB> urfr332gO, do you mean it is the same as ex versions?
[21:38] <dweez> PhantomOcelot042, what do you get with a "sudo apto-get check"?
[21:38] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, ex versions?
[21:38] <battlestarB> urfr332gO, like 10.04
[21:38] <fra> hi guys
[21:38] <dweez> battlestarB, did it create and "admin" account or did it just prompt you to make an account?
[21:38] <PhantomOcelot042> phantom@ocelot-NV53A:~$ sudo apt-get check

[21:39] <FloodBot1> PhantomOcelot042: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:39] <dweez> afaik, *nix doesn't use "admin" for any system accounts
[21:39] <tonyyy> just a question, i know the LTS (10.04 desktop) will be supported until april 2013, but after that official deposit will be deleted ?
[21:39] <dweez> tonyyy, don't know.  I'd imagine it just means updates will no longer be made for it
[21:39] <PhantomOcelot042> http://paste.ubuntu.com/861108/
[21:39] <ssta> battlestarB: ubuntu doesn't really support a root account.  One is possible, but it's not advised.  Presumably under teh (reasonable) assumption that if you are skilled enough to create one yourself without help then you're skilled enough not to want to...or at least to fix whatever breakage you cause.  Just stick to sudo, it's safer
[21:39] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:39] <battlestarB> dweez,  ubuntu 11.10 didn't ask me to set master password when installing.
[21:40] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, all ubuntu releases have sudo access in the main account, now it is a click to make it a admin with an extra account in 10.04 you have to add yourself to the sudo list, if you have sudo access it is a admin.
[21:40] <dweez> battlestarB, ssta explained why
[21:40] <fra> I need a small support: i'm running 11.10 64bit ... I don't know what appen but every 32bit app seems to not work any more ( skype, google earth ) ...  I got message like this :/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found
[21:40] <dweez> they want you to use sudo instead of su
[21:40] <sun_devil> tar -cvf somefile.tar dir1 dir2 ?  to backup (2) directories to a file?
[21:40] <CFHowlett> tonyyy   "delete official deposits" ??? what do you mean?
[21:41] <ssta> sudo *is* (in general) safer and better than su.
[21:41] <dweez> I think he's asking of the 10.04 LTS repos go away
[21:41] <dweez> :s/of/if
[21:41] <battlestarB> ssta, it says admin accout, but it asks for permission when system changing
[21:41] <ssta> battlestarB: yes, that's normal.
[21:41] <dweez> define "system changing"?
[21:41] <chown_> hello guys, i have to mount a lot of network drivers during my inicialization, i was reading and testing things and the mount.cifs worked for me. the thing is... i want to make it run at login, but mount have to be sudo, and making a script i have to type my sudo password every cmd line. is there a way i could handle this better?
[21:41] <CFHowlett> tonyyy   all it means is no further updates/upgrades.  You can continue using it though.
[21:42] <ssta> battlestarB: it's possible to turn that ioff, but again, not advised (for similar reasons)
[21:42] <battlestarB> ssta, i know, i don't want to turn off!
[21:42] <battlestarB> ssta, i want to be sure if it is safe like this way
[21:42] <ssta> battlestarB: well, the first user you create when you install should have sudo access...
[21:42] <battlestarB> ssta, or i have to create a standard account
[21:42] <dweez> which sounds like you named your first user "admin"
[21:43] <dweez> user created during install, whatever you named it, is fine
[21:43] <ssta> battlestarB: oh...fine, just create another (non sudo capable) account then
[21:43] <battlestarB> ssta, i am asking if it is necessary?
[21:43] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:43] <Trevor69420> chown_ what if when you start the script you start with sudo -i?
[21:43] <ssta> I must admit, I'm a little confused as to what your actual question is...
[21:43] <ssta> battlestarB: if what is necessary exactly?
[21:43] <dweez> PhantomOcelot042, try "sudo apt-get autoremove" and after that "sudo apt-get autoclean".  I'm beginning to be at a loss here
[21:43] <battlestarB> ssta, creating standard user account
[21:44] <urfr332gO> dweez, with users now in 11.10 for example any account with sudo is called admin, kind of confusing for some, and you can click it admin instead of adding the new account to the sudo group.
[21:44] <ssta> battlestarB: not unless you want to.  If you're the only user, then many people would just stick to the first account they made.  It's really up to you though
[21:45] <dweez> urfr332gO, they added and admin group?
[21:45] <ssta> urfr332gO: seriously?  ugh.  Control panels, now they're calling root "admin".  What's next?  BSOD?
[21:45] <Chipzzz> lol
[21:45] <scientes> require './filename'
[21:45] <scientes> i like that
[21:45] <battlestarB> ssta,  ok then, i will stick this account, i just confused it says "admin account" in accounts settings
[21:45] <Mech0z> in terminal, how do I open an executeable?
[21:45] <dweez> oh, the adm group
[21:45] <urfr332gO> dweez, it is just a click on the making of the new account called admin, not sure if it is a actual new group.
[21:45] <Pici> dweez: adm and admin groups are two different things.
[21:45] <ssta> battlestarB: that just means it's allowed to sudo is all...it's normal
[21:45] <scientes> Mech0z, ./filename
[21:45] <fra> I need a small support: i'm running 11.10 64bit ... I don't know what appen but every 32bit app seems to not work any more ( skype, google earth ) ...  I got message like this :/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found. Any Idea ?
[21:46] <scientes> Mech0z, but you usually have to do chmod +x filename
[21:46] <scientes> first
[21:46] <battlestarB> ssta, i see, thanks a lot
[21:46] <scientes> to make it executable Mech0z
[21:46] <dweez> Pici, ah, I see that now too
[21:46] <dweez> and urfr332gO, yeah, it's an actual group name
[21:46] <Pici> dweez: dweed adm typically has access to read logs in /var/log while admin is defined in sudoers.
[21:46] <scientes> Mech0z, things you download from the internet are never set executable
[21:46] <TheEmpath> any way to run a process in mlockall(2)?  Perhaps a sys wrapper in C?
[21:46] <tonyyy> CFHowlett, by "official deposit " i mean servers which store all packages (sorry i'm a french :) )
[21:46] <dweez> so it's just to help make sudoers easier?
[21:47] <scientes> TheEmpath, I believe systemd has a feature for that, but that is not in ubuntu of course
[21:47] <adiabatic> a group of "admin" is a bit more intuitive than "wheel", if you ask me
[21:47] <scientes> adiabatic, agreed
[21:47] <battlestarB> is there a way to move unity to the rigt?
[21:47] <urfr332gO> dweez, it gives sudo access is all I believe. Really confusing for windows users probably who actualy use the limited acount , the 3 or 4 anyway lol.
[21:47] <dweez> it is, but you know tradition ;-)
[21:47] <TheEmpath> scientes: oh noes what does i does?
[21:47] <CFHowlett> tonyyy   no problem.  safest bet is that the servers will be offlined - it MAY be possible to find SOME archived sources, but plan on them being deleted forever - schedule your upgrades now.
[21:47] <Pici> tonyyy: They generally stay online for a short time after support has ended.  Alternatively, you can use old-releases.ubuntu.com  (also #ubuntu-fr for french)
[21:47] <ssta> adiabatic: sheel *is* traditional :)
[21:48] <ssta> s/sheel/wheel/
[21:48] <scientes> TheEmpath, wait, systemd probably doesn't, it takes too much to develop mlockall to work well
[21:48] <smiley_> I have a system with 48 disks...ubuntu only sees up to /dev/sdag (disk #31) any ideas about where I need to look in order to get the OS to see at 48?
[21:48] <ssta> what I fail to understand is why there's an admin group AND a sudo group.  Surely that's a bit redundant?
[21:48] <scientes> TheEmpath, because the c stack is default of 8 MB per thread, which is very excessice, for example
[21:48] <Mech0z> scientes trying to install new firmware on my raidcontroller with http://www.lsi.com/support/products/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS8308ELP.aspx megacli
[21:49] <zykotick9> ssta: except wheel is used to allow becoming root, not sudo related really
[21:49] <scientes> Mech0z, you should check if that is in the mainline kernel, which is likely
[21:49] <TheEmpath> scientes: hrmmm basically, i want to make sure a process never has its memory end up in swap and if that isn't possible, then i want to encrypt swap and if that isn't possible, then i want to turn off swap without having linux crash
[21:49] <adiabatic> so "people in wheel can become root" predates sudo?
[21:49] <scientes> Mech0z, try doing apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree first
[21:49] <Mech0z> scientes how
[21:49] <zykotick9> ssta: the sudo group comes from upstream - ie debian
[21:49] <scientes> "apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" Mech0z
[21:49] <scientes> see if that works
[21:50] <ssta> zykotick9: wheel is also traditionally used as a sudo access group (at least in Solaris)
[21:50] <battlestarB> does anyone know what is the Firestarter's  background service name?
[21:50] <scientes> !fakeraid Mech0z
[21:50] <scientes> !faceraid
[21:50] <scientes> !rakeraid
[21:50] <scientes> !fakeraid
[21:50] <Pici> scientes: Please /msg ubottu instead nextime.
[21:50] <ssta> zykotick9: ah, I didn't know that.  I thought it was so that upgrades didn't break systems (since it used to be sudo in ubuntu before they added admin)
[21:50] <TheEmpath> !rakerage?
[21:50] <scientes> pici i was trying to help Mech0z
[21:51] <sun_devil> Does anyone know what flag to backup to floppy?
[21:51] <Mech0z> scientes I need to update my raidcards software before I start doing software raid
[21:51] <battlestarB> i have installed firestarter firewall and did some configurations but i am not sure if it is working in background or not
[21:51] <scientes> Mech0z, if it is a low-end "fake" (software) raid, its use is highly discouraged
[21:51] <zykotick9> ssta: from ActionParnsip earlier, 12.04 might be going back to use of sudo group - time will tell
[21:51] <ssta> sun_devil: backup what to floppy?  (do people even still use floppies?)
[21:51] <Mech0z> scientes anyway I installed the linux firmware, how am I supposed to use that? I ahve my .rom file
[21:52] <ssta> zykotick9: I tweak it all anyway to allow slightly finer grained control for my servers...so it's not that important :)
[21:52] <sun_devil> I usually upgrade my old machines and avoid new
[21:52] <scientes> Mech0z, firmware in linux is not .rom
[21:52] <sun_devil> floppies and pine
[21:52] <dweez> software doesn't use firmware
[21:53] <dweez> that's for the hardware
[21:53] <_Marcus> I keep trying to overwrite a file over FTP, and it's not working. I used chmod to make it 744, but it's still not doing anything. I can upload files that aren't already there. Any idea how to fix it?
[21:53] <scientes> its .ucode, .bin or .fw Mech0z and it goes in /lib/firmware--but it is put there when you install the kernel
[21:53] <battlestarB> is there anyone who uses firewall here?
[21:53] <dweez> hopefully everyone
[21:53] <shivam7074> its my 1st time wat 2 do???
[21:53] <dweez> uses fw
[21:53] <Mech0z> scientes how should the kernel know about my ancient raid cards new firmware?
[21:53] <scientes> Mech0z, did you install "linux-firmware-nonfree"?
[21:53] <Mech0z> yes
[21:53] <battlestarB> dweez, what firewall do you use?
[21:53] <scientes> and then reboot?
[21:54] <Mech0z> no
[21:54] <dweez> I use UFW with GUFW
[21:54] <sun_devil> ssta, what flag would you use to backup to floppy?
[21:54] <sun_devil> 2-3
[21:54] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:54] <chipotle> hi, what openGL driver do i use when i have an i3 cpu (intel HD 2000 graphics)?
[21:54] <ssta> battlestarB: some people do, some rely of the firewalls built into their routers
[21:54] <scientes> reboot is easiest in most cases after that if you are not seeing the drive Mech0z
[21:54] <ssta> sun_devil: I'm sorry, I don't understand the question
[21:54] <dweez> ssta, I personally perfer both...security in layers
[21:54] <shivam7074> i cant get my facebook a/c authorized in gwibber, even i put every thing right...
[21:55] <battlestarB> ssta, i have installed firestarter
[21:55] <Mech0z> scientes isnt this drivers then?
[21:55] <Mech0z> and not firmware
[21:55] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   details please
[21:55] <scientes> Mech0z, some devices require firmware to initilize correctly
[21:55] <diegoviola> hi
[21:55] <ssta> dweez: to each his own.  I prefer to secure it according to how much I care about it.  Some things get megalayered firewalls (like my work servers), some stuff (my home network) only has two layers
[21:55] <diegoviola> will ubuntu 12.04 come with wayland for testing?
[21:55] <diegoviola> please say yes
[21:55] <chipotle> hi, what openGL driver do i use when i have an i3 cpu (intel HD 2000 graphics)?
[21:55] <ssta> battlestarB: okay...I'm not familiar with that
[21:55] <dweez> ssta, true
[21:55] <shivam7074> wat details
[21:55] <scientes> Mech0z, but you can do lspci and the put that here: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
[21:55] <battlestarB> ssta, what firewall do you use?
[21:55] <scientes> Mech0z, which might tell you something about drivers
[21:56] <dweez> firestarter is a GUI for standard ipchains
[21:56] <zykotick9> diegoviola: try asking in #ubuntu+1
[21:56] <sun_devil> ssta, what is a flag?
[21:56] <dweez> battlestarB, Ubuntu recommends GUFW now
[21:56] <diegoviola> ok
[21:56] <Scunizi> Chrome and Chromium are non-starters for me because they white screen google maps on a regular basis.. strange that they do this on their own product and FF doesn't.  Anyone have a solution?
[21:56] <battlestarB> dweez, does it have icmp block options?
[21:56] <shivam7074> what details???
[21:56] <dweez> a couple versions back, Firestarter was the recommended gui but since Ubuntu switched to UFW, they recommend GUFW
[21:56] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   what version of ubuntu?
[21:57] <shivam7074> 11.10
[21:57] <ssta> battlestarB: where?  At work we have several layers of checkpoint-one, the gateway to the VLAN has an iptables script based firewall that I write, and each server has its own iptables script based firewall.  At home my router has a firewall, and some stuff is sent to the server in the DMZ where there's an iptables firewall I wrote
[21:57] <dweez> battlestarB, you can add that rule
[21:57] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   does the facebook account appear in gwibber?
[21:57] <dweez> sorry, I said ipchains earlier, I meant iptables
[21:58] <ssta> gui firewalls...*shudder* :)
[21:58] <dweez> battlestarB
[21:58] <dweez> battlestarB, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[21:58] <shivam7074> no, 1st of all it doesnt get authenticated only...
[21:58] <ssta> maybe I'm just too old
[21:58] <P1rate> Sup geeks?
[21:59] <battlestarB> dweez, ok ok, i will have a look at it :)
[21:59] <dweez> battlestarB, on that page, it has a section for disabling PING
[21:59] <Oer> shivam7074, maybe you need to login via http to allow gwibber connect to facebook?
[21:59] <sun_devil> I could not find anything in man
[21:59] <_lpc> anyone that sucessfully setup an arm toolchain to build android apps can give me some point
[21:59] <ssta> battlestarB: just out of interest, why block ping?
[22:00] <shivam7074> how to do that???
[22:00] <CFHowlett> shivam  see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p955H5-e_Cw
[22:00] <dweez> I agree, for the most part, I leave ping as is
[22:00] <battlestarB> ssta, actually i a mnot trying to block ping
[22:00] <dweez> UFW allows PING by default
[22:01] <battlestarB> ssta, i want to block other things
[22:01] <dweez> Give GUFW a look battlestarB, it allows you to block/enable by Application, service, etc as well as individual ports
[22:01] <shivam7074> what to do if the video is not playing???
[22:02] <dweez> and it's a decent beginning into looking at iptables via cli
[22:02] <battlestarB> dweez, i will, thanks
[22:02] <CFHowlett> shivam7074  can't see it on YT?  Probably need to install flash
[22:02] <shivam7074> in utube???
[22:02] <JJasonClark> woot! random guess of an ubuntu chat room worked.  lol
[22:02] <P1rate> shivam7074: check your adobe version
[22:03] <battlestarB> dweez, ssta, thanks for your interes, have a nice day
[22:03] <shivam7074> how to install flash???
[22:03] <ssta> probably best you use the GUI I suppose (I can't believe I'm saying that).  If you were to do it "by hand" then something like: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -s 0/0 -i eth0 -j DROP
[22:03] <dweez> you too
[22:03] <JJasonClark> could someone point me to some resources on how to solve my `apt-get update` not working error? I'm guessing its a networking thing since I'm in a VPC. Although I can ping the ubuntu server.
[22:03] <P1rate> shivam7074: it should be at the repos
[22:03] <dweez> ssta, the link I gave him had clear instructions for disabling ping in UFW
[22:03] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   direct from adobe http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
[22:03] <Pici> JJasonClark: Can you pastebin the exact error?
[22:03] <JJasonClark> you can Pici
[22:04] <dweez> and UFW is just a "ease of use" tool for iptables
[22:04] <shivam7074> what is repos???
[22:04] <JJasonClark> I am getting many lines that look like this: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/multiverse/source/Sources.gz  404  Not Found
[22:04] <P1rate> shivam7074: software center!
[22:04] <dweez> repos == repositories == location of installation files
[22:04] <ssta> dweez: ah, fair enough.  I know very little of ufw (except it produces the most convoluted and impossible to debug set of rules...maybe it's imroved in the past year or so)
[22:05] <dweez> ssta, no it hasn't, it's gon the way of RHEL's ip filtering
[22:05] <JJasonClark> err sorry Pici. ment "sure can"
[22:05] <P1rate> ssta: UFW is decent for start
[22:05] <Pici> JJasonClark: can you browse to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/multiverse/source/ with w3m?
[22:05] <dweez> but it's <fingerquotes>supposed to be</fingerquotes> easier/simpler
[22:05] <P1rate> if you dont want to mess with iptables rules over cli
[22:05] <ssta> dweez: hmm...last time I looked at RH's thing was in about 1999.  At that time it explicitly added a rule for every port (either accept or reject)...was a nightmare
[22:06] <filo1234> UFW is decent to start, using firewall, but it's syntax and rules so very differents than iptables
[22:06] <dweez> yeah, but wasn't it straight iptables?
[22:06] <sun_devil> Any idea what a flag is?
[22:06] <ssta> dweez: ipchains at the time IIRC...
[22:06] <JJasonClark> w3m is a cool little utility.  neat
[22:06] <dweez> Now it seems to be very similar to the syntax ufw uses
[22:06] <JJasonClark> Pici: yes, I can browse the web site
[22:06] <P1rate> sun_devil: flag? like red flag?
[22:07] <filo1234> dweez: all firewall, tool or gui ..use iptables and write rules in it
[22:07] <Pici> JJasonClark: Are you using a proxy to connect to the internet?
[22:07] <P1rate> CTF contest ?
[22:07] <ssta> sun_devil: in what context?  In software a flag usually means like a switch, something is either on or off (or maybe has a range of short values)
[22:07] <dweez> anyway, EoB here, l8r everyone
[22:07] <JJasonClark> Pici: yes I am. and I have set `http_proxy` to my proxy with port info
[22:07] <Pici> JJasonClark: aha!  one moment.
[22:08] <sun_devil> trying to do a backup
[22:08] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, back up home or a full clone?
[22:09] <Pici> JJasonClark: You used "export http_proxy=http://whateverproxy:proxyport"  in the same terminal where you're using apt-get?
[22:09] <mempoke> hello
[22:09] <P1rate> mempoke: HI :)
[22:10] <sun_devil> the command
[22:10] <mempoke> i am new to irc
[22:10] <JJasonClark> `export | grep http_proxy`  results in `declare -x http_proxy="http://guest.hds.com:8080"`
[22:10] <urfr332gO> !tab | sun_devil
[22:10] <JJasonClark> pici: yes, both my user name and root have the proxy settings
[22:10] <mobilenoob11> Hi all, I have a question.
[22:11] <scientes> Mech0z, you get something going?
[22:11] <urfr332gO> mobilenoob11, spit it out man. :)
[22:11] <P1rate> !question
[22:11] <Mech0z> scientes nah gave up for today, need to update that firmware, but think I will have to create a windows vm to get that done
[22:11] <mobilenoob11> K. Where does my private ssh key go in ubuntu? I have it but I don't know where it goes.
[22:12] <sun_devil> urfr332g0, !tab is a flag?
[22:12] <Zal> mobilenoob11, typically in ~/.ssh
[22:12] <scientes> ahh, yeah firmware upgrade, didn't know you were doing that
[22:12] <mobilenoob11> and then it knows its there?
[22:12] <Zal> mobilenoob11, depends on the file name. By default, ssh will look for ~/.ssh/id_dsa
[22:12] <Zal> or id_rsa
[22:12] <Pici> JJasonClark: Hm... You could try setting it directly in /etc/apt/apt.conf via Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport";
[22:13] <scientes> Mech0z, if that is a pci card however, you arn't going to succeed in a VM unless you have IOMMU hardware
[22:13] <mobilenoob11> I have rsa :)
[22:13] <Zal> mobilenoob11, you can also specify it on the command line, using the -i option
[22:13] <Pici> JJasonClark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#APT_configuration_file_method may explain it better than I
[22:13] <JJasonClark> Pici: so `Acquire::http::Proxy ...` on one line?
[22:13] <Mech0z> scientes ok, will have to make a real windows install then
[22:13] <JJasonClark> pici: headed to the doc now
[22:13] <mobilenoob11> When you say specify, -i as an option to which command?
[22:14] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, the !tab was to trigger the bot to tell you how to address who your talking to a autocomplete of the nic. Flags can be in several areas.
[22:14] <Zal> mobilenoob11, ssh
[22:14] <JJasonClark> Pici: worked great!
[22:14] <mobilenoob11> oh, lemme manual page that
[22:14] <urfr332gO> !info flag
[22:14] <JJasonClark> Pici: I'm up and running again. doing the updates now
[22:14] <ssta> JJasonClark: example:    Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.10:3142";
[22:14] <Mech0z> scientes tried usinig a hp tool to create a bootable drive, but then I got "not enough extended memory to load application exec Megacli"
[22:14] <filo1234> mobilenoob11: -i file where is key
[22:15] <JJasonClark> Thank you. I'll go update the #cloudstack room too. They might want to include the information in their setup guide
[22:15] <Pici> JJasonClark: great!
[22:15] <scientes> Mech0z, ahh you mean a bootable floppy?
[22:15] <Mech0z> scientes nah bootable us
[22:15] <Mech0z> usb
[22:15] <scientes> ok, you can do that from a virtual machine
[22:15] <scientes> or maybe even wine
[22:16] <AsHperson> does anyone know of an updated version of skype to work somehow on 11.10?
[22:16] <Mech0z> what? didnt you say I cant access my pcie from VM?
[22:16] <CFHowlett> AsHperson   skype for linux will be at beta forever.
[22:16] <mobilenoob11> So It looks in .ssh, unless I specify -i. what should the key's permissions be in he .ssh folder?
[22:16] <sun_devil> !tab | urfr332gO any idea on how to use a flag to backup?
[22:17] <AsHperson> CFHowlett will it ever update though? or a version of windows able to work with wine?
[22:17] <kunguz> Does anyone know where to find a prebuilt image of latest ubuntu for beagleboard with LXDE desktop?
[22:17] <CFHowlett> AsHperson   microsoft now owns skype.  You tell me...
[22:17] <Mech0z> scientes what? didnt you say I cant access my pcie from VM?
[22:17] <Pici> sun_devil: ! commands tell our bot (ubottu) to do things, you don't need to include them when you ask a question.
[22:17] <_Marcus> CFHowlett: They've owned Skype for awhile
[22:17] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, look closely at the bots message it has nothing to dop with your question.
[22:17] <AsHperson> oh, darn gotcha
[22:17] <scientes> Mech0z, that is correct, unless you have a IOMMU
[22:18] <filo1234> mobilenoob11: I think 664, you can try, so if you have wrong permission ssh say'll you
[22:18] <CFHowlett> _Marcus   and how many linux updates have YOU seen?
[22:18] <Mech0z> scientes then it still wont work with VM
[22:18] <scientes> Mech0z, but you can of course create a usb bootup stick from a VM, and then boot that on your ram hardware
[22:18] <scientes> *on your raw hardware
[22:18] <AsHperson> what about logmein hamachi(a version that works with the similar versions of that on windows and mac)
[22:18] <sun_devil> clear as mud
[22:18] <Mech0z> scientes I created the bootable alreaqdy, but I got the error I descripted beofre
[22:18] <shivam7074> 1st broadcast window got hanged in gwibber and then whiteout...
[22:18] <Mech0z> so I want to install directly from windows
[22:18] <guglielmo> ciao
[22:18] <guglielmo> !list
[22:18] <fra>  i'm running 11.10 64bit ... I don't know what happen but every 32bit app seems to not work any more ( skype, google earth ) ...  I got message like this :/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found. Any Idea ?
[22:19] <scientes> Mech0z, you ahve to boot the bootable directly, not in a virtual machine
[22:19] <_Marcus> CFHowlett: I never used it on Linux.
[22:19] <Mech0z> scientes I am doing that, and it dont work
[22:19] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, there are a number of back up schemas look into rsync if you want to use the terminal, ubuntu 11.10 has several gui backups one installed is called backup, I use grsync personally.
[22:19] <zykotick9> fra: you could try installing the ia32lib package and try again
[22:20] <urfr332gO> !rsync | sun_devil
[22:20] <sun_devil> Thanks
[22:20] <fra> zykotick9: thank u
[22:20] <fra> zykotick9: i have it
[22:21] <fra> ia32-libs
[22:21] <zykotick9> fra: try "linux32 ./program" maybe?
[22:22] <shivam7074> when i click authenticate then only the heading facebook comes wat to do???
[22:22] <shivam7074> no this came"Cannot resolve hostname (www.facebook.com)"
[22:22] <fra> zykotick9: same result : /usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found
[22:22] <shivam7074> ???
[22:22] <FloodBot1> shivam7074: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:22] <zykotick9> fra: i don't have any other suggestions - good luck
[22:22] <Kircle> What temperate sensor can I use to monitor my Intel core i5 cpu temp? I tried some but they only let me monitor my HD's temp.
[22:22] <mega1> how do i adduser and only give them ftp access to only one folder in /var/www/username
[22:23] <fra> zykotick9: nooooooo
[22:23] <fra> zykotick9: ok thank u anymore
[22:23] <mega1> using ubuntu 11.04
[22:23] <nrdb> I have a python program complaining that there is not "/dev/dsp" what do I do to fix this?
[22:23] <shivam7074> sorry
[22:24] <Zal> nrdb, install a soundcard?
[22:24] <AcidRain> even with WICD my connection still drops roughly once every 72 hrs and fails to reconnect. does anyone have any work arounds for this?
[22:24] <sun_devil> by way of the terminal, rsync /home/path/folder /media/floppy    ?
[22:24] <AcidRain> any advice?
[22:24] <zykotick9> !info alsa-oss | nrdb
[22:25] <shivam7074> what is paste bin???
[22:25] <fra> zykotick9: maybe i have found a solutio n
[22:25] <AcidRain> shivam7074: pastebin.com
[22:25] <zykotick9> fra: care to share?
[22:25] <shivam7074> what is it???
[22:26] <CFHowlett> !paste|shivam7074
[22:26] <haylo> ok i am a little confused about how to do a system wide search for a file from the command line. i aways use nautilus like a noob. i understand some regex and shell scripting just am unsure how to do a system wide unix/linux search for a file or string or anything??
[22:26] <AcidRain> shivam7074: its pretty much a site where you paste anything you want to from your clipboard. also supports syntax highlighting of just about every language
[22:26] <fra> zykotick9: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-i386
[22:26] <cemycc> !clone
[22:26] <haylo> not n*** you know what u mean sorry
[22:26] <Zal> haylo, locate <filename>
[22:26] <haylo> I*
[22:26] <fra> zykotick9: now I have a different error: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1:
[22:26] <haylo> Zal, from root?
[22:26] <fra> zykotick9: so it was a key point
[22:26] <AcidRain> even with WICD my connection still drops roughly once every 72 hrs and fails to reconnect. does anyone have any work arounds for this?
[22:27] <Zal> haylo, depends on the file. You can do it as a normal user, if a normal user can see the file
[22:27] <zykotick9> fra: 32bit OpenGL perhaps?  if you use nvidia, i think there is a ia32 lib for that
[22:27] <ericus> Anyone with a Zenbook and Ubuntu 11.04?
[22:27] <haylo> Zal, bash sys locate command not known i guess i need to intall the tool
[22:27] <fra> zykotick9: no nvidia ... all open driver: intel :)
[22:28] <mempoke> Please ditch unity\
[22:28] <Zal> haylo, hm, I guess so. It's pretty standard. Maybe you logged in without an environment somehow?
[22:28] <ericus> mempoke: word
[22:28] <zykotick9> mempoke: that's not going to happen - and this isn't the channel to complain to
[22:28] <nrdb> zykotick9, ok I will try
[22:29] <mempoke> zykotick9: i am thinking outloud
[22:29] <KM0201> ericus: what is your question about the zenbook?
[22:29] <haylo> ok Zal it is just a fringe system. im not on ubuntu right now. im installing thank you!!!! :)  this will be helpful in slimming my ubuntu install :)
[22:29] <ericus> KM0201: if the zenbook would work with 11.04 and a 3.x-kernel
[22:30] <shivam7074> where i will get answer to my problem if i send a screen shot???
[22:30] <KM0201> ericus: why do you suspect it wouldn't?
[22:30] <goddard> im getting permission issues when trying to edit a file over ssh with Kate
[22:30] <mempoke> is this channel only for ubuntu tech support?
[22:30] <CFHowlett> mempoke   yes
[22:31] <Pici> mempoke: #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, but keep in mind our guidelines
[22:32] <guglielmo> ciao
[22:32] <shivam7074> where i will get answer to my problem if i send by imagebin???
[22:32] <guglielmo> !list
[22:32] <CFHowlett> !it|guglielmo
[22:32] <chown_> is there a comand that show all mount drivers?
[22:32] <ericus> KM0201: I don't know. The Zenbook is pretty new, and works (pretty ok) out of the box with 11.10
[22:32] <zykotick9> chown_: drivers or drives?  to show all mounted drives "mount"
[22:33] <chown_> zykotick9: mount points
[22:33] <KM0201> ericus: so why do you want it to work w/ 11.04?
[22:33] <zykotick9> chown_: mount points are any directory on your system?
[22:33] <ericus> KM0201: may I /msg you?
[22:33] <golgelerprensi> hi ubuntu users
[22:33] <KM0201> ericus: i guess..
[22:34] <shivam7074> reply anyone???
[22:34] <mempoke> gvfs does not show file permissions correctly when using a network automount. Any ideas?
[22:34] <chown_> zykotick9: exacly, i mean i do a lot of mount -t cifs
[22:34] <ericus> Or we can take it in here KM0201
[22:34] <zykotick9> chown_: try "mount" to show everything currently mounted, and where they are mounted
[22:34] <KM0201> ericus: it doesn't really matter, it's just a simple question, why not just use 11.10, if it seems to work well w/ 11.10
[22:34] <ericus> KM0201: first of all, I run gnome instead of unity
[22:35] <chown_> zykotick9: oh, that simple, ty!
[22:35] <KM0201> ericus: ok.. might as well get off that tit, cuz Gnome is slowly fading
[22:35] <KM0201> actually, it's not so slowly at this point
[22:35] <ericus> Not slow, but more and more like windows
[22:36] <KM0201> ericus: have you tried one of the other GUI's?
[22:36] <ericus> I'm not able to disable all my startup applications
[22:36] <shivam7074> hello anyone???where i will get answer to my problem if i send by imagebin???
[22:36] <ericus> Yes, Openbox and XCFE
[22:36] <Pici> shivam7074: You need to post the url to your image here, otherwise we won't know what your problem is.
[22:36] <KM0201> ericus: well, xfce sucks right now.. so it's not surprising you didn't care for it.
[22:36] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   we're all volunteers here.  Send your pic.  Be patient.  VERY patient.
[22:37] <KM0201> ericus: personally, i love lxde
[22:37] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201298
[22:37] <ericus> KM0201: Does that work well with all the gnome panel applets?
[22:37] <shivam7074> ok
[22:37] <KM0201> no not all of them, but it has a bunch of it's own that are similar.
[22:38] <KM0201> actually, it doesn't work with any "gnome panel applets" because it doesn't use gnome-panel... but it has it's own set of applets
[22:38] <KM0201> ericus: what applets are you specifically interested in
[22:38] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   I'm guessing you wanted to take a screenshot of something else.  "Grab after a delay of 5 seconds" gives you time to set up the shot.
[22:38] <Guest22817> Is there a way to see past updates
[22:38] <ericus> KM0201: most important of all is a CPU manager
[22:38] <ericus> for power optimization
[22:38] <shivam7074> ok
[22:38] <ericus> while on battery power
[22:39] <ericus> Guest22817: yes in Synaptic
[22:39] <KM0201> ericus: it has the xfce power manager panel applet, (i don't use it, so i don't know how to judge it's performance)
[22:40] <ericus> KM0201: OK, I'll try it out later (on my WS now)
[22:40] <ericus> Thanks KM0201
[22:40] <KM0201> ericus: no prob.. http://www.lubuntu.net    just try 11.10, since you seemed to have no problems with it... lxde has a very sexy simplicity to it
[22:42] <ericus> You don't have permission to access / on this server.
[22:42] <ericus> Apache Server at www.lubuntu.net Port 8080
[22:42] <KM0201> ericus: sorry, http://lubuntu.net
[22:42] <ericus> .org
[22:43] <KM0201> ericus: or join #lubuntu
[22:43] <Guest22817> An Adobe Flash plugin  keeps crashing FF I dont see anything in the last two updates that seems to be the cause
[22:43] <ericus> But KM0201... Question is, how well will it work with the Zenbook?
[22:44] <KM0201> ericus: you said ubuntu 11.10 worked fine on the zenbok, you just didn't like Unity... Lubuntu doesn't have unity, but has the 11.10 kernel, so my guess is, just fine
[22:44] <KM0201> ericus: just try a Live USB or something when you get home, it's actually very functional..
[22:44] <shivam7074> problem solve, goodnite from india!!!
[22:44] <ericus> Okay great KM0201, but I'll still have to compile my own kernel. But I'll give it a shot
[22:45] <KM0201> ericus: why would you do that if 11.10 works well?
[22:45] <fra> zykotick9:  solved
[22:45] <Zermanno> buntu-server
[22:45] <ericus> It works well with a patched kernel
[22:45] <KM0201> ericus: or wait till 12.04 (or use an alpha version of it, if that doesn't scare you, it has kernel 3.0.2 right now i think)
[22:45] <zykotick9> fra: nice
[22:45] <mobilenoob11> Thanks everyone! Gotta go
[22:46] <sun_devil> in vi,  what command would you use  to search for the word "biz" and replace with business ?
[22:46] <fra> zykotick9:  thank u and bye
[22:46] <KM0201> ericus: ok, so.. patched kernel in 11.04, or 11.10?
[22:46] <ericus> KM0201: patched kernel in 11.10 right now
[22:47] <ericus> hang on a sec, I'll book into my ultrabook
[22:47] <ericus> brb
[22:47] <KM0201> ok, well, if you patched the kernel on ubuntu 11.10, i can't imagine you having any trouble patching it in lubuntu 11.10, since i imagine that is all done by command line...
[22:47] <nkrypt> my update manager died after restarting to let updates install, how can i fix it?

[23:17] <dewcow> watschu: how long have you been runnning 11.10?
[23:18] <watschu> since the beginning of december
[23:18] <watschu> about that
[23:18] <arand> luminoso: If the disk is too defragmanted, you won't be able to schrink it past the last bit of data simply.
[23:18] <mempoke> watschu: do you like unity?
[23:18] <CFHowlett> luminoso   dual boot will not defrag.
[23:18] <watschu> yes
[23:18] <arand> luminoso: "ntfs filesysyem rather
[23:18] <dewcow> watschu: how powerful is the thinkpad? unity is very resource heavy
[23:19] <superstraw> when I go to shutdown ubuntu 11.10 I can hear the hard drive park itself but the screen still shows the ubuntu progress screen forever.  I normally just power off the computer at that point, but where should I start investigating as to why this is happening?
[23:19] <luminoso> so if i put all ntfs data in the beginning of the partition i can create a larger partition for ubuntu?
[23:19] <watschu> i had no problems with it
[23:19] <mempoke> anyone experiencing a slow software center?
[23:19] <watschu> it has core 2 duo 2.4 ghz i think
[23:19] <watschu> 2 gb ram
[23:19] <ericus> how do you see the boot menu when rebooting on 11.10?
[23:20] <arand> ericus: Hold shift, afaik
[23:20] <urfr332gO> luminoso, is this a install of ubuntu from windows?
[23:20] <dewcow> watschu: laggy would be the result of insufficient ram or swap space, or fragmentation
[23:20] <dewcow> watschu: is the system still laggy after a reboot?
[23:20] <luminoso> urfr332gO, still deciding if i install from windows or from live cd
[23:20] <watschu> yes
[23:20] <urfr332gO> dewcow, ubuntu would not have a defragmentation problem.
[23:21] <watschu> in htop i see that ram is used about 25 %, secons cpu is used about 100% but not every time
[23:21] <ericus> didnt work arand
[23:21] <watschu> its every 1 second for about half a second i think
[23:21] <urfr332gO> luminoso, don't install from windows.
[23:21] <arand> luminoso: partiotiong installation tends to be the best long-term solution
[23:21] <CFHowlett> luminoso   defrag your windows before installing ubuntu.
[23:21] <watschu> there is a process rtkit
[23:21] <luminoso> k, thanks!
[23:22] <watschu> it exists twice and each uses sporadic about 40 - 50 % cpu
[23:22] <superstraw> crap
[23:22] <superstraw> brb
[23:22] <arand> ericus: you could always set a timeout in /etc/default/grub
[23:22] <arand> !grub2 > ericus
[23:22] <donoban> hi
[23:23] <donoban> since yesterday my computer turns on immediately after suspend. It was suspending fine for months
[23:23] <donoban> any idea?
[23:24] <donoban> I've tried installing uswsusp and doing s2ram and i does same behaviour
[23:24] <donoban> it*
[23:25] <zykotick9> donoban: what changed yesterday?  did you install anything new?  or did you get some updates?
[23:25] <donoban> only updates if i'm not wrong
[23:26] <donoban> perhaps was not yesterday, 4 o 5 days at most
[23:26] <munkyBeatz> in Aptitude, it tells me that the package Lupin-Casper is broken. It's asking me if I should cancel the install.  Everything i find says it's for a Wubi install. I don't have a wubi install, should I cancel this install or do other things use Lupin-Casper?
[23:26] <watschu> dewcow: you know anything about that rtkit-process?
[23:26] <sun_devil> who uses the #bash channel?
[23:28] <alassiter> if I have duplicate groups in /etc/group file, does it matter which one I delete as far as ownership of files and things like that?
[23:29] <emu> How do I get xclip to store text so I can retrieve it with control-v?
[23:29] <watschu> the rtkit-daemon processes have also the highest value at "TIME+"
[23:30] <watschu> emu: in the console use shift+strg+c to copy
[23:30] <Steevca> Any recomendations for a great looking and great linux distro? I know that this is ubuntu support,sorry. :P
[23:30] <donoban> Wed Feb 29 00:17:17 CET 2012: performing suspend
[23:30] <donoban> Wed Feb 29 00:17:22 CET 2012: Awake.
[23:30] <donoban> Wed Feb 29 00:17:22 CET 2012: Running hooks for resume
[23:30] <urfr332gO> munkyBeatz, how did you install ub ntu?
[23:30] <urfr332gO> ubuntu*
[23:31] <urfr332gO> Steevca, yeah ubuntu thats all we can say on this channel.
[23:32] <donoban> it turns on again 5 seconds after perform suspend, really I think that computer doesn't shutdown totally
[23:32] <CFHowlett> Steevca   kubuntu lubuntu xubntu ubuntu
[23:32] <munkyBeatz> urfr332g0:  I had a previous Wubi install. But then I uninstalled that, had some issues with windows and used HP restore, to restore comp to factory state. Then later I shrank windows partition, and installed ubuntu on seperate partition.
[23:32] <emu> watschu: I want to copy input from the terminal without using my mouse
[23:32] <donavan01> so I switched to Xfce is there a way to remove the icons from the desktop?
[23:32] <Steevca> CFHowlett used them all,i just want something new and interesting for exploring. :(
[23:32] <CFHowlett> Steevca   check in with distrowatch
[23:33] <Steevca> CFHowlett Ok,thanks for the info. ^^
[23:33] <munkyBeatz> urfr332g0: is this just left over from previous wubi install? I had thought the factory restore had formatted the drive since it erased windows completely at that point. CAn I just cancel the install, since I have a full install of Lupin-Casper Ubuntu now?
[23:33] <KM0201> donavan01: of course, but ask in #xubuntu
[23:33] <KM0201> i can't remember exactly how to do it, they'll know though
[23:33] <watschu> emu: ok, then mark it with with pushed shift and the arrow keys and when marked push shift+ctrl+c   to copy
[23:34] <CFHowlett> munkyBeatz   factory restore does not necessarily format
[23:34] <watschu> sory, strg is the german "word" for ctrl
[23:34] <sun_devil> what files list DNS ?
[23:34] <jord_> hey guys i have a sierra 313u air card from at&t and i have ubuntu 11.04 and it is not recognized and wont connect help?
[23:34] <nibbler> sun_devil, /etc/resolv.conf
[23:34] <munkyBeatz> CFHowelett: Guess that's what I get for guessing it did then.
[23:35] <munkyBeatz> Bigger question is, do I need lupin-casper, or casper for that matter, since I have a dual-boot setup now?
[23:35] <donavan01> km0201 thanks
[23:36] <KM0201> donavan01: np :)
[23:39] <emu> watschu: Could you rephrase that? Shift+arrow keys only produces ABCD
[23:41] <zykotick9> emu: are you using vi?  installing vim would probably be a good idea.  for copy/paste highlighting with mouse, then using mouse 3rd button (typically rollers) to paste
[23:41] <jord_>  hey i have a 313u 4g air card and i cant find it in ubuntu 11.04, help????????
[23:42] <zykotick9> emu: alternative to roller paste, try shift+insert
[23:44] <nardey> I can not install pdf printer on ubuntu 12
[23:44] <MonkeyDust> nardey  #ubuntu+1
[23:44] <nardey> ubuntu 12.04
[23:44] <emu> zykotick9: I'm trying to pipe stdout straight to my clipboard to be retrieve with control-c. xclip stores it so I can retrieve it with mbutton, but not control-c. I could write stdout to a file and copy it with an editor, but that seems roundabout.
[23:45] <urfr332gO> nardey, #ubuntu+1
[23:45] <MonkeyDust> nardey  type /join #ubuntu+1
[23:46] <zykotick9> emu: sorry, not not familiar with xclip - good luck.
[23:49] <DBordello> where does ubuntu store the MAC address of network adapters so it knows which one is eth0 and eth1, etc?
[23:49] <zykotick9> DBordello: i don't know the details - but it's UDEV related for sure
[23:49] <filo1234> DBordello: sure /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[23:50] <DBordello> filo1234, thanks!
[23:50] <filo1234> np
[23:52] <m477> how can I format cd card?
[23:52] <m477> sd*
[23:52] <scientes> m477, palimpsest
[23:53] <scientes> m477, its like "manage disks" or something in the menu
[23:53] <m477> ok i will try
[23:56] <m477> scientes: i have error that it is mounted if i unmount then it wont see it ~_~
[23:56] <scientes> m477, yes unmount it and you will still see it from the partitionier
[23:56] <m477> I dont
[23:56] <scientes> from the PARTITIONIER
[23:56] <scientes> not from nautilus
[23:56] <m477> I connect via usb wire
[23:57] <m477> it is in phone
[23:57] <m477> i dont have card rider
[23:57] <scientes> then reformat it from the phone
[23:57] <m477> reader
[23:57] <vkandy> hey guys if i curl -k "https://server" does the server receive this as a https request?
[23:57] <M4dH4tt3r> i seem to be having some unusual troubles
[23:57] <sun_devil> does /etc/printcap have the printer config files?
[23:57] <scientes> !ask
[23:57] <munkyBeatz> why does aptitude show Many upgrades/updates from repositories, while apt-get shows system is up to date?
[23:57] <Muelli> vkandy: should be the case, yes.
[23:58] <m477> scientes: ok i have done thx
[23:58] <M4dH4tt3r> everytime i try to burn ubuntu 64bit to disc its telling me stream not supported?
[23:58] <CFHowlett> M4dH4tt3r   did you md5sum?
[23:58] <vkandy> Muelli: thanks so -k just doesnt use the certificate is that it?
[23:58] <Muelli> munkyBeatz: I think aptitude on Ubuntu tries to install recommended packages as well whereas apt-get doesn't necessarily. But I don't fully know
[23:58] <Muelli> vkandy: I don't know about -k :-/
[23:58] <bluefrog> emu, the best way to copy/paste from a terminal is to use screen or tmux. in ubuntu that would be byobu (enhancement to screen and tmux)
[23:58] <M4dH4tt3r> yeah
[23:59] <munkyBeatz> Muelli: guess it just has to do with how each one handles packages?
[23:59] <M4dH4tt3r> exact error=
[23:59] <Muelli> munkyBeatz: yeah. Although not necessarily single packages but the whole package system.
[23:59] <MonkeyDust> byobu <3
