[00:00] <LucidGuy> I had an ubuntu system crash/restart ..  it seems an md resync auto started on a raid5 md device.  Anyone know what would cause this?
[00:01] <brand> wad: i saw in a youtube video,do we need to shrink the size of the c:?
[00:01] <wad> brand, not if you're going to delete the D: partition (assuming you have a single hard drive in the machine).
[00:02] <wad> brand: Use Windows' disk manager, and figure out what drives you have.
[00:02] <wad> What Windows OS do you have on there?
[00:02] <brand> wad: oh im confused.no im not going to delete any or i dont want to
[00:02] <hiexpo> (
[00:02] <mcurran> I don't want the proprietary drivers, I want the drivers directl from nvidia, and compile them and get the best performance as I've always done.  Thank you though.
[00:02] <mike9863> I'm unable to get a display when I boot up. when I try running startx from tty it says failed to load module fglrx, no drivers available, and fatal error: no screens found. can anyone please help?
[00:02] <barcef_mx> How do I stop getting to unity toolbars when I run a "unity --replace"???
[00:03] <theadmin> barcef_mx: Uh, you can't
[00:03] <mcurran> I didn't mean to be mean, I know ur just tyring to help.
[00:03] <hiexpo> goo\d luckwith that
[00:03] <wad> brand, okay. If you on Windows XP, click the START button, then right-click MY COMPUTER, and choose MANAGE. Then get to the disk manager (or whatever it's called).
[00:03] <barcef_mx> theadmin, I meant two unity toolbars
[00:03] <zykotic10> mike9863: try moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup and try startx again
[00:03] <wad> You need some information on what drives you have, how much space they have, so you can plan your install.
[00:03] <theadmin> barcef_mx: two? Hm, well, Unity has toolbars on top and on the left so it sounds normal to me
[00:04] <barcef_mx> theadmin, no one underneath the other...
[00:04] <theadmin> barcef_mx: Ah that... Might be some bug, dunno honestly, people did complain about this before
[00:04] <barcef_mx> theadmin, they superimpose each other.. it's stranged
[00:05] <brand> wad: yes i can see my disk drives
[00:05] <wad> brand, also, take a moment and educate yourself on what partitions are, and how they are different from disks: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-partitions-and-logical-drives
[00:05] <mike9863> zckotic10: that worked thanks
[00:06] <brand> wad: nice
[00:06] <wad> brand: So how many drives do you have in there?
[00:07] <wad> And how many partitions?
[00:07] <brand> i have 4 disk drives wit 2 partitions
[00:08] <velko> wad, the output of "sudo sfdisk -l" will show for sure
[00:08] <wad> velko, I think he's running Windows. Wanting to install Ubuntu in a dual-boot.
[00:08] <velko> wad, oh sorry
[00:09] <wad> brand: Four disk drives, with 2 partitions on each one, for a total of 8 partitions?
[00:09] <brand> no no
[00:09] <alphafish> Hi guys. I have a few question to ask here. Do any of you guy know much about grub because I want to get it organized so that the screen only shows my macbuntu partion start up things only none of that recovery junk.
[00:09] <brand> i mean to say c and d are partitions and 2 hdds
[00:09] <wad> brand: Ignore DVD or CD drives, and USB memory sticks, and USB external hard drives.
[00:10] <wad> Ah, do you've got two hard drives, and each hard drive has one partition?
[00:10] <brand> wad: just 2 partitions then
[00:10] <alphafish> no it is a just one hard drive on a 160gb acer one laptop
[00:11] <zykotic10> alphafish: /etc/default/grub remove comment from GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" then "sudo update-grub" = no more recovery stuff
[00:11] <wad> brand: I've got to go in a moment. Take a look at something like this: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Installing_Ubuntu_with_Windows_Dual-Boot
[00:11] <brand> wad; thank you very much for all your patience
[00:12] <wad> No problem. You're gonna love Ubuntu on your computer, outside of the Virtual box. :)
[00:14] <sburwood1> what must I do to connect an android tablet to my ubuntu computer to share and exchange files?
[00:14] <CFHowlett> grub question: I want to boot a real-time kernel at times.  How do I force grub to display even though I've only got  a single OS
[00:14] <alphafish> Hi guys. I have a few question to ask here. Do any of you guy know much about grub because I want to get it organized so that the screen only shows my macbuntu partion start up things only none of that recovery junk. It worked fine when I had Xp on it.
[00:15] <codepal> anybody point me to somebody who knows something about bluetooth on 11.10 ?
[00:15] <alphafish> ops sorry for that error
[00:15] <sburwood1> codepal: I use a bluetooth adapter in the usb port
[00:16] <zykotic10> CFHowlett: look for ?hidden options in /etc/default/grub
[00:16] <codepal> I'm trying to get a USB bluetooth dongle working, getting a Can't read local name on hci0: Connection timed out (110)
[00:16] <CFHowlett> alpha  sudo gedit /edit/default/grub # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
[00:16] <CFHowlett> #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"
[00:16] <codepal> when I do hciconfig -a hci0
[00:16] <codepal> I've got a MAC address
[00:17] <codepal> but it's not discovering my bluetooth headset
[00:17] <uni4dfx> Is 32bit MPlayer the only video player on linux which suports win32 codecs?
[00:17] <codepal> searches all day
[00:17] <alphafish> ok what I wanted to say was that my backtrack 5 partion has no sound to it and I have the unbuntu software center installed on it so is there any app that could help me with a audio problem. It is gnome version as well.
[00:17] <sburwood1> anyone wanna help me get my tablet connecting to my ubuntu computer
[00:17] <codepal> sburwood1, sure!
[00:17] <sburwood1> codepal: I haven't tried a headset
[00:18] <codepal> bluetooth tablet?
[00:18] <CFHowlett> zykotic10   there're 2; hidden timout = 0, hidden time quiet = true/  I imagine I set a time on the timout and a change quiet to false/
[00:18] <codepal> I've got an old serial wacom Intous2 working, ;-)
[00:18] <MonkeyDust> alphafish  backtrack is not supported here, try #backtrack-linux
[00:18] <zykotic10> CFHowlett: that would be my guess as well
[00:18] <CFHowlett> zykotic10   got it.  Thanks.
[00:19] <sburwood1> I wanna use the usb cable I purchased to transfer stuff.  My Archos 101 G9 turbo works with bluetooth, but it is slow and I want to use the cable
[00:20] <codepal> sburwood1, great thread that helped me setup my tablet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11731528
[00:20] <codepal> sburwood1, usb cable for networking, sounds weird...
[00:20] <alphafish> Thanks. One last question is it possible to have the new software center on a older version of Ubuntu.
[00:20] <MonkeyDust> no
[00:21] <sburwood1> codepal: thanks.  Not for networking, for transfer of files from tablet to desktop and vice versa
[00:22] <codepal> ok, I see
[00:22] <sburwood1> well, c u all later
[00:22] <sburwood1> bye
[00:23] <alphafish> So than I would be stuck with unity I take it. I know I can use gnome shell but that not the same. lol
[00:24] <MonkeyDust> alphafish  i use ubuntu classic, no unity, no gnome-shell
[00:24] <vicium> I like unity! :)
[00:24] <vicium> I wish I could configure the dashboard though...
[00:25] <chown_> does anybody here use synergy on ubuntu?
[00:25] <brand> which linux is best? opensuse or ubuntu?
[00:25] <F4C3> (small rant), switching workspaces from ctl+atl+arrow to super+shift+arrow takes a bit to get used to
[00:25] <MonkeyDust> !best| brand
[00:25] <F4C3> chown_: I've used quicksynergy on ubuntu before
[00:25] <bazhang> brand, thats offtopic for here
[00:26] <vicium> ok. MonkeyDust, i sense this is for you! Previously I ran BoxeeMediaManager, to stream video from my PC to my ipad.
[00:26] <bazhang> brand, such discussion is more appropriate in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:26] <vicium> Am I screwed now? :P
[00:26] <MonkeyDust> vicium  i'm not familiar with ipads
[00:26] <chown_> F4C3: have u faced this problem: it only works if i put my pc at: left, up, down. If i put my pc at right it only work at the screen corner.
[00:26] <MonkeyDust> with ianything, for that matter
[00:27] <alphafish> So do you have the stuff like the older version did or if it kind of like in bits?
[00:27] <vicium> Google results return WINE options :(
[00:27] <MonkeyDust> alphafish  ubuntu classic is very similar to gnome2, how i like it
[00:28] <F4C3> chown_: hrmm, no I haven't, I had a client on the right actually set at 0 - 50% of master right side and it worked as expected
[00:28] <ozpy> Hi. Will the ubuntu 12.04 BEta allow to update to stable version of ubuntu?
[00:28] <ozpy> Any idea?
[00:29] <CFHowlett> !precise|ozpy
[00:29] <MonkeyDust> ozpy  that question makes no sense, 12.04 is not stable
[00:29] <bazhang> !final | ozpy
[00:30] <ozpy> Ubottu: thanks. I was afraid that the beta version will be updatable to stable when it comes out,
[00:30] <boba88> hi
[00:30] <bazhang> ozpy, it is. just keep upgrading and it will get there
[00:31] <ozpy> Thanks!
[00:31] <alphafish> Ok If it is like how you say it is I will trust your word on it. To be honest I tried other platforms and well I got my but kicked by KDE. I manged to mess it up on by having the power turned on it once. I have to say tho Ubuntu is pretty solid os compared to most out there and mint bad now if you ask me. lol
[00:31] <ozpy> I liked Mint but Ubuntu is a winner... I just love Unity
[00:32] <boba88> why i cannot find nite on ubuntu... there is only binaries for mac and windows http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles/opennimodules/openni-compliant-middleware-binaries/33-latest-unstable
[00:32] <ozpy> Mint is having issues.
[00:32] <boba88> i will happy with source as well
[00:32] <CFHowlett> boba88   ask the developers ...
[00:33] <alphafish> I know mint has issues and all but it is still cool to see it marketed as an Ubuntu alternative. lol
[00:34] <zabomber1> hi
[00:34] <pex__> hello,sorry to but in but is there an irc for mac?
[00:34] <Pici> !alis | pex__
[00:34] <zabomber1> how do i enable VNC at login? i.e. i have a server running ubuntu 11.10. i have to login before i can vnc into the server. i DO NOT want to set autologin. How do i get vnc working "before" login?
[00:35] <pex__> what
[00:35] <Firebolt> zabomber1, cron?
[00:35] <pex__> alis
[00:35] <zabomber1> pex__: Adium
[00:35] <zabomber1> im on a mac
[00:35] <zabomber1> and its beautiful
[00:35] <pex__> Adium
[00:35] <zabomber1> yes
[00:36] <pex__> is that #adium?
[00:37] <pex__> zab, do you have to type my name every reply, is there a shortcut?
[00:37] <Pici> Your tab key.
[00:37] <bonzini> working my way through the empathy tests in the Checkbox App Testing Tests
[00:37] <zabomber1> tab works
[00:37] <zabomber1> pex__:  see
[00:38] <pex__> just tab? how does it know to reply to you?
[00:38] <zabomber1> it brings up a dropdown list
[00:38] <pex__> mine doesn't do that
[00:38] <devkorcvince> pex__: enter zab then hit tab
[00:38] <zabomber1> ^
[00:38] <MonkeyDust> pex__  two characters and then tab
[00:38] <theadmin> pex__: Type the first few letters and hit tab, for instance "thead<tab>" gives "theadmin", but "the<tab>" will give you some other users too :D
[00:38] <pex__> ok, trying
[00:38] <pex__> still no workie
[00:38] <Pici> Keep in mind that #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only.  If you want to just chat, theres #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:39] <zabomber1> back to my question ? :)
[00:39] <brand> do we need to shrink volume in c: drive in windows before installing linux in a dual boot?
[00:39] <pex__> sorry pici
[00:39] <vicium> Anyone know of a good way to stream from my ubuntu PC to my IPAD?
[00:39] <vicium> Or any way at all that works for that matter.
[00:39] <CFHowlett> brand   yes
[00:39] <brand> CFHowlett: i have 16 gb free space left in my c drive
[00:39] <zabomber1> i need to get into a server via vnc. the server is at the login screen and no one is there to login…. how can i get vnc to work BEFORE a login to the server at the server is done?
[00:40] <brand> CFHowlett: could you tell me how much do i need to shrink? and whether would it result in data loss?
[00:40] <chown_> F4C3: oh i got it its a gnome problem
[00:40] <CFHowlett> brand   I've got ubuntustudio - the entire thing takes 8 gigs.  standard ubuntu should be about 4 gigs if you don't have a large number of saved files in /home
[00:40] <hwilde> vicium, ffserver
[00:40] <hwilde> !info ffserver | vicium
[00:40] <chown_> gonna use KDE from now on =/
[00:40] <hwilde> !info ffserver lucid | vicium
[00:40] <pex__> message
[00:41] <hwilde> bs ^
[00:41] <brand> CFHowlett:but does it cause any data loss?
[00:41] <vicium> hwilde, Does it actually work viewing on an ipad though? :p
[00:41] <haylo> should i use genisoimage to back up or should i just use remastersys?
[00:41] <hwilde> vicium, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/ffserver.1.html
[00:41] <pex__> #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:41] <vicium> Thanks
[00:41] <CFHowlett> brand   shrinking the windows part shouldn't cause data loss BUT defrag windows first  a couple of times
[00:42] <brand> oh why do we need to defrag? any significance
[00:42] <hwilde> vicium, just google for ffserver ipad    etc
[00:42] <CFHowlett> brand   and back up critical data - defrag is recommended
[00:43] <CFHowlett> brand   defrag might only be my recommendation but I seem to recall reading that it makes the shrink go smoother, quicker and reduced chance of errors
[00:43] <aBound> Hey all when I log into my guest account and go on youtube and try to view the screen it prevents me from clicking on the button. Does anybody have this sort of problem?
[00:43] <CFHowlett> brand   think about why you'd defrag to run windows and it makes sense.
[00:44] <brand> oh im new to computers
[00:44] <haylo> 2nd tim ehtrough netinstall ending with blinking cursor. any idea what im missin? i should at least be getting tty
[00:44] <haylo> maybe bad .iso / usb?
[00:44] <zykotic10> haylo: have you tried nomodeset?
[00:45] <CFHowlett> brand   no worries.  maybe talk this to a private channel.  Permission to PM you?
[00:45] <brand> sure
[00:45] <haylo> i used the targeted driver selection perhaps that waas the problem. i will look for this nomodeset next time through
[00:45] <zykotic10> !nomodeset | haylo
[00:46] <zykotic10> haylo: try nomodeset with your current install
[00:46] <haylo> i cant get anything even grub
[00:46] <opticlove> does anyone know why my appearance/theme changes to default for no reason? or a logfile to look for?
[00:47] <opticlove> i have to switch it back every few hours
[00:47] <haylo> maybe i didnt select grub correctly and il try to find this nomodeset
[00:48] <haylo> usb is blanked as well. must just not be working with unetbootin
[00:48] <haylo> grub must be getting installed to the usb or something- wierd
[00:51] <ph8> hi all, i'm in a bash script that's called by udev when a usb partition appears, i'm mounting it but then i want to get the size of the mounted partition - parsing df seems hard and doesn't feel like the right way forward, any ideas?
[00:52] <guiu> hello there. I'm having troubles trying to mount a ext4 partition using fstab. I've edited this file and added this line "UUID=7a6dc1dc-a462-435f-a2d2-e73fec2a179c /media/LFS	  ext4	  auto,user,exec,rw	      0	      3". The problem is that it mounts ok, but i have no permissions for write on it.
[00:52] <zykotic10> guiu: check (and/or change) the permission on the mount point /media/LFS
[00:54] <guiu> zykotic10: thanks !!! it worked !!! So many hours trying to figure out what was wrong in fstab and the problem was in another place xD thanks.
[00:55] <LeroyR91> i'm having a problem
[00:55] <theadmin> LeroyR91: Which is?
[00:55] <LeroyR91> I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bit on my Lenovo W510 but when I boot it it just stays on a black screen with a blinking cursor
[00:56] <zykotic10> !nomodeset | LeroyR91
[00:56] <cbush15> Whats the command to adduser with a email e.g adduser (--email) email@email.com? username -p password
[00:57] <zykotic10> cbush15: don't think that's an option for adduser -- "man adduser" has nothing about email
[00:57] <raul__> hi
[00:57] <raul__> whats on the news
[00:57] <cbush15> Ahh okay.
[01:00] <CFHowlett> cbush15   pretty sure that's not the way email is done.
[01:01] <sjbrown> hey all.  I'm trying to do this in the terminal:
[01:01] <sjbrown> xinput set-int-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' "Device Enabled" 8 1
[01:02] <cbush15> CFHowlett: When you use adduser it gives you options first name etc and email option i was just wondering if there was a command line for it.
[01:02] <CFHowlett> cbush15   I stand corrected.  sorry but IDK about that option.
[01:03] <cbush15> CFHowlett: Alright thanks for the help.
[01:03] <CFHowlett> cbush15   "help"?  You're too generous.  :)
[01:03] <LucidGuy> Bad idea to use a raid5 md device during a resync?
[01:04] <cbush15> hehe
[01:04] <bastidrazor> cbush15: funny you say that.. adduser is command line too. it asks those same questions and creates the user a home
[01:04] <Firebolt> I'm trying to install Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS on a laptop which has a broken screen. However, I can't get it to give output to a monitor connected via a VGA cable -- any way to force it?
[01:05] <delinquentme> which tool is best for searching through your installed programs  /usr/bin style .. to find where specific programs are stored?
[01:05] <pex__> not if the boardis damaged too
[01:05] <delinquentme> im looking for just a filename
[01:05] <pex__> Firebolt, that was for you
[01:05] <MonkeyDust> delinquentme  try 'which'
[01:06] <theadmin> delinquentme: which programname will tell you the fullpath to programname
[01:06] <theadmin> delinquentme: e.g: which firefox-aurora # => /usr/bin/firefox-aurora
[01:06] <delinquentme> lovely!
[01:06] <pex__> Firebolt, i have the same problem with mine
[01:06] <Firebolt> pex__, I know that it's not -- I get output on the VGA monitor when I install debian
[01:06] <pex__> Firebolt, oh that is odd
[01:07] <pex__> Firebolt,  maybe monitor settings- resolution/
[01:07] <pex__> drivers?
[01:08] <Firebolt> pex__, I can't see anything though -- once I select the installer language, and tell it to install the OS, it stops working
[01:08] <guyubuntu> Can I install ubuntu on fat32?
[01:08] <guyubuntu> so i could access it from windows?
[01:08] <guyubuntu> instead of installing it on ext4?
[01:08] <zykotic10> guyubuntu: nope
[01:08] <bazhang> guyubuntu, no
[01:09] <guyubuntu> ext4 is the only way to go?
[01:09] <CFHowlett> guyubuntu   negatory
[01:09] <guyubuntu> but wubi installs it on ntfs
[01:09] <bazhang> guyubuntu, try wubi
[01:09] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[01:09] <CFHowlett> wubi *shudder*
[01:09] <guyubuntu> No
[01:09] <guyubuntu> I'm using a live CD
[01:09] <guyubuntu> lol
[01:09] <theadmin> guyubuntu: wubi installs it to a virtual hard drive (which is ext3 if I recall right), NOT to a NTFS partition
[01:10] <theadmin> guyubuntu: You have to use a sane filesystem which is compatible with Unix stuff. Actually, you can read extX filesystems from Windows using ext2read
[01:10] <guyubuntu> 4064 swap space is enough for ubuntu?
[01:10] <delinquentme> so i just sudo apt-get install rubygems1.9.1   << and it added nothing else .. however I get nothing when " which rubygems1.9.1 "  any ideas?
[01:10] <guyubuntu> theadmin, ext2read has aids.
[01:10] <guyubuntu> 4064 swap space is enough for ubuntu?
[01:10] <theadmin> guyubuntu: IFS is an option too.
[01:11] <theadmin> guyubuntu: That depends on your RAM. That's more than enough, I'd never do more than 2 gigs personally actually
[01:11] <marcucci217> is anyone here familiar with bleeding edge by any chance? could really use some help
[01:11] <zykotic10> guyubuntu: as a general rule, your swap should match your physical RAM
[01:11] <guyubuntu> 2gb ram in here.
[01:11] <SaRSAeOL> i always thought it was more like double ram
[01:11] <theadmin> guyubuntu: Then about 4GB will be fine yeah, might actually make it bit less
[01:11] <guyubuntu> thanks
[01:11] <guyubuntu> have a nice day
[01:12] <guyubuntu> I love ubuntu
[01:12] <guyubuntu> <3
[01:12] <zykotic10> SaRSAeOL: that's the old rule yes, you need physical ram + a little, to use hibernation.
[01:12] <FloodBot1> guyubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:12] <guyubuntu> Keep up the good work
[01:12] <marcucci217> anyone?
[01:12] <theadmin> delinquentme: That's because "rubygems1.9.1" is not a command, you're looking for "gem"
[01:13] <delinquentme> yeah theadmin and no luck on anything from there
[01:13] <Firebolt> oh
[01:13] <delinquentme> so I think i need to search out where in my lib that package resides
[01:13] <theadmin> delinquentme: You can probably do something like this: dpkg -L packagename | grep -F '/bin/'
[01:13] <guyubuntu> Umm yep I'm back should I make a partition for each, or I could use one as mount point? /?
[01:14] <theadmin> guyubuntu: Normally you do separate / and /home
[01:14] <theadmin> guyubuntu: But that's up to you
[01:14] <guyubuntu> does it matter?
[01:14] <theadmin> guyubuntu: With a separate /home, reinstalls are a whole ton easier
[01:14] <MonkeyDust> guyubuntu  separate / and /home are easier to maintain
[01:14] <zykotic10> guyubuntu: two partitions / and swap is easiest
[01:14] <guyubuntu> then I don't need it
[01:14] <guyubuntu> thanks alot theadmin
[01:14] <zykotic10> MonkeyDust: ;)
[01:14] <guyubuntu> and others
[01:15] <zabomber_> exit
[01:16] <marcucci217> anyone with maybe a little familiarity with bleeding edge
[01:16] <marcucci217> ?
[01:16] <zykotic10> marcucci217: ubuntu is pretty bleeding edge.  What is your real question?
[01:17] <marcucci217> i tried to install some applications with bleeding edge, it prompted me to restarts, and I can't find them anywhere
[01:17] <amandasue75> Does UbuntuOne work with 12.04?  I don't see the option in my menu when looking in /home/amanda with (nautilus?) the file browser
[01:17] <MonkeyDust> amandasue75  #ubuntu+1
[01:17] <zykotic10> amandasue75: reask in #ubuntu+1
[01:17] <amandasue75> aha...
[01:18] <zykotic10> MonkeyDust: at least we're on the same page on that one ;)
[01:18] <CharminTheMoose> Speaking of swap, is there any advantage/disadvantage to using a swapfile vs using a dedicated swap partition?
[01:19] <zykotic10> CharminTheMoose: swapfiles can't be used for hibernate by default... other then that, i'm unaware of any differences
[01:19] <e3d3> My Ubuntu 10.04 don't remember the default programs I choose for opening files. How can I correct this ?
[01:19] <detch_> hi every body is there is atool to login to folders as administrator without writing commands ?
[01:19] <bastidrazor> CharminTheMoose: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq   for more info and i believe this page does explain a bit on partition verse file
[01:19] <detch_> just by right click
[01:20] <amandasue75> MonkeyDust, zykotic10 turns out there's an UbuntuOne icon (that appears to be installing what I need) in System Settings.  Good thing this channel is family friendly, or I'd be calling myself all sorts of names...
[01:21] <myersg> whats new in ubuntu 12.04 beta 1?
[01:21] <zykotic10> myersg: reask in #ubuntu+1
[01:21] <detch_> could i send video files in my ubuntu one account to my account on  youtubu ?
[01:22] <thos37> it looks like .profile is not getting sourced when I open a new terminal session.  Where should this be happening?
[01:22] <Firebolt> Any idea why the vga= kernel option wouldn't output things correctly on my screen?
[01:23] <zykotic10> Firebolt: vga= is deprecated
[01:23] <a7x> uhm
[01:23] <CharminTheMoose> Oh cool, thanks for that zykotic10 and bastidrazor
[01:24] <a7x> on my macbook pro 7.1 i'm trying to connect ubuntu to my wifi network, but i can't see my network (i can see others)
[01:24] <a7x> my network is up because on this laptop works and from osx works
[01:24] <Firebolt> zykotic10, any other way to to force output to a VGA port then?
[01:24] <myersg> My computer screen has a small scrape in it, about 1mm, like some one poked it with something sharp, any one know how to fix it?
[01:24] <zykotic10> Firebolt: vga= was used for resolution, what do you want - output to an external display?  I have no idea on that.
[01:25] <Firebolt> yes zykotic10
[01:25] <zykotic10> Firebolt: no clue, good luck.
[01:27] <e3d3> What is the most lightweight Ubuntu-variant ?
[01:27] <theadmin> e3d3: Officially supported one? Lubuntu
[01:27] <MonkeyDust> e3d3  lubuntu is light
[01:27] <[deXter]> e3d3, Lubuntu
[01:28] <e3d3> That's clear, Thanks. I'll try that because even 10.04 don't coorporate.
[01:29] <urfr332gO> myersg,  I don't think th IRC is your best source, and this is ubuntu support.
[01:29] <zykotic10> e3d3: if you want something even lighter then lubuntu, use the mini.iso and install whatever WM you want.
[01:30] <e3d3> zykotic10: Thanks, I want as light as possible because I only use 2-4 GUI-apps max.
[01:30] <mio> hmmm
[01:30] <yaakow> Hello
[01:30] <mio> just installed x chat
[01:30] <yaakow> anyone to help me with an issue?
[01:30] <yaakow> please
[01:31] <MonkeyDust> yaakow  if you're sweet
[01:31] <danny> yaakow, ask ur questio no one can help if they dont know whats wrong
[01:31] <yaakow> okay..
[01:31] <yaakow> I need to shrink root partition thru ssh
[01:31] <yaakow> online.
[01:31] <yaakow> and add other in that space.
[01:32] <yaakow> without messing the server.
[01:32] <yaakow> ubuntu server.
[01:32] <yaakow> natty
[01:32] <zykotic10> !enter | yaakow
[01:32] <yaakow> Ok.
[01:33] <danny> my friend bought a small tv as a monitor and everything was all swell until the next time he rebooted and when he did the top of his screen is missing and the bottom of the lubuntu screen is in the middle of the tv screen anyone know a quick fix ?
[01:33] <yaakow> Can anyone help?
[01:33] <zykotic10> yaakow: i doubt what you want to do is possible...
[01:34] <myersg> I use acer aspire one 722, when i install the drivers I box shows up that i cant get rid of that says hardwhere unsorported, but if i don't, it don't show up
[01:34] <MonkeyDust> yaakow  use ssh -Y to launch gparted on the remote pc, but make sure the active remote partition does not get dammaged
[01:34] <yaakow> I need to maybe switch to init 1 but with keeping the network/ssh running.
[01:34] <zykotic10> MonkeyDust: except parted can't resize the partition it's running from.  yaakow
[01:34] <bazhang> !runlevels | yaakow
[01:35] <tripelb> I have a mac and can boot Ubuntu on live CD. Then I want to make a USB boot drive for a friends; older windows computer. Please send me to a way. (the psychocats way used a Windows program so it's not for me)
[01:35] <MonkeyDust> zykotic10  i take it the guy does not want to resize an active partition
[01:35] <yaakow> @Monkey, can I do that with main root always mounted partition?
[01:35] <bazhang> yaakow, thats not possible
[01:35] <zykotic10> MonkeyDust: he wants to resize /
[01:35] <Escherial> hey, i know i asked this before, but i didn't get much of a response...what's the easiest way for me to suspend what i'm doing in ubuntu and switch to another OS i have installed on this machine?
[01:35] <MonkeyDust> ok
[01:35] <yaakow> Yeah, I do
[01:35] <sinedeviance> hi all! i'm running ubuntu server 11.04. logrotate is part of cron.daily and it is running properly (tested with run-parts -v) but it only seems to be rotating the syslog
[01:36] <sinedeviance> i thought it was supposed to rotate everything in /var/log ?
[01:36] <yaakow> Can I switch to single user, with staying online, is that an option?
[01:36] <zykotic10> yaakow: that's not going to help for you issue
[01:36] <tripelb> Escherial, reboot is the easiest way. You cannot change os in midstream. You can have one in a virtual machine and use it inside of the originally booted OS
[01:37] <MonkeyDust> yaakow  tricky workaround: use a live cd on the remote pc, change the network range, then ssh -Y to it and use gparted -- does that make sense?
[01:37] <Escherial> tripelb: right, rebooting is fine, but i'd like to hibernate my ubuntu session somehow so that when i return everything's as it was
[01:37] <zykotic10> Escherial: is the "other os" a gnu/linux?
[01:37] <Escherial> (i guess it'd amount to serializing the contents of ram to disk and then restoring them when the OS reboots)
[01:37] <tripelb> Escherial, I understand your question. AFAIK that is not possible. ah zykotic takes over.
[01:37] <Escherial> zykotic10: windows, sadly :\ if it were, would there be some other way?
[01:37] <yaakow> I don't have physical acces to server now.
[01:37] <zykotic10> Escherial: can't help then
[01:38] <yaakow> No live cd.
[01:38] <Escherial> zykotic10: what if it were a gnu/linux os?
[01:38] <yaakow> All I have is one huge partition.
[01:38] <zykotic10> Escherial: KVM can boot physical partitions, like a VM
[01:38] <tripelb> I want to make a USB boot from Ubuntu not from windows. (I have a mac and can boot a live CD) This will be to help a friend with a trashed optical drive.
[01:39] <omnicitadel> Any one know what type of Drive Cradles a Data Domain DD565 uses? It looks like it might be the same cradles as a supermicro… can someone please confirm
[01:39] <bazhang> omnicitadel, try ##hardware
[01:39] <Escherial> zykotic10: interesting...well, i could probably get windows running in a vm like xen. perhaps i should look into that, although i'm afraid of the performance hit.
[01:39] <omnicitadel> gracias bazhang
[01:39] <Escherial> but hibernating and then switching OSs isn't possible, huh?
[01:39] <yaakow> Does anyone know if I can work in single-user thru ssh somehow?
[01:39] <zykotic10> Escherial: if you use xen (which i personally haven't) i don't think you'd have much of a performance hit actually
[01:40] <Escherial> (i mean, via a full hibernate -> reboot into OS #2 -> use other OS -> reboot into ubuntu -> restore cycle)
[01:40] <FAIL> I faild my test cause i was on #ubuntu
[01:40] <MonkeyDust> Escherial  i think it is, yes
[01:41] <yaakow> Has anyone any experience with installing openstack?
[01:41] <Escherial> zykotic10: neat; i'll definitely give that a shot, then. it'd be extra nice if i could mount my existing second OS's partition into xen, but that may be asking for a lot
[01:41] <zykotic10> Escherial: i haven't played with xen, so not sure...
[01:41] <kamen> Hey does anyone know if there's anything I can do if I have too many partitions but I want to install ubuntu here's a screen shot http://s14.postimage.org/a9wo9h4o1/my_partitions.png
[01:42] <Escherial> MonkeyDust: the hibernation method? for some reason, my machine doesn't seem to allow hibernating...i think it's because i'm missing a swap partition, but i imagine i could create one with gparted
[01:42] <Escherial> MonkeyDust: er, but i realize i'm asking quite a few questions at once @_@ sorry, overcaffeinated
[01:42] <Zac_o_O> HI all!
[01:42] <zykotic10> Escherial: hibernation requires a RAM+"a little" swap parition by default
[01:42] <dustmonkey> hi Zac_o_O
[01:43] <tripelb> I want to make a USB boot drive WITHOUT WINDOWS, and the directions are using windows afaik
[01:43] <theadmin> tripelb: usb-creator-gtk is distributed with Ubuntu
[01:43] <Escherial> zykotic10: ok, good to know. i guess needing it to be double the size of your ram isn't necessary anymore...
[01:43] <MonkeyDust> tripelb  do you mean 'without using windows'?
[01:43] <dustmonkey> tripelb aka no unetbootin?
[01:44] <zykotic10> tripelb: could you clarivy what you mean by "usb boot drive"?  like a liveusb?
[01:44] <zykotic10> Escherial: overkill in most modern cases, do you really want an 8GB+ Swap - probably not ;)
[01:44] <dustmonkey> tripelb simply boot a live CD and create your USB there
[01:45] <dustmonkey> tripelb OR go to a mac store and do it
[01:45] <zykotic10> MonkeyDust * dustmonkey am i seeing double (reverse double anyways) ;)
[01:45] <Escherial> zykotic10: yeah, no, i don't :3 hmm, so is there any way i can do this whle the machine's still running or do i necessarily need to boot from a live cd/usb stick?
[01:45] <tripelb> dustmonkey, sounds simple. How?  .. I dont care what version of ubuntu I use 9, 10 or 11.04 ... From 10.10 there is no longer a usb-creator package
[01:45] <dustmonkey> tripelb both answers use no windows
[01:45] <MonkeyDust> zykotic10  one disciple already :p
[01:45] <Escherial> the partition i need to resize is not currently mounted afaik -- i'm running ubuntu off a relatively tiny partition compared to the main OS's partition
[01:45] <tripelb> dustmonkey I dont understand about the mac store
[01:46] <dustmonkey> tripelb install the unetbootin package that will do it for you
[01:46] <tripelb> I dont understand How to make a usb boot disk from Ubuntu. dustmonkey
[01:46] <zykotic10> Escherial: not sure?
[01:46] <zykotic10> MonkeyDust: ;)
[01:46] <tripelb> I cant install anything if I am booted from a liveCD dustmonkey
[01:46] <CFHowlett> tripelb   wrong
[01:46] <dustmonkey> tripelb as for the mac store, well that was a silly joke, you could use one of there machines and get into bash and do it there
[01:47] <CFHowlett> tripelb   you can install but the package will not be there when you re-boot
[01:47] <tripelb> dustmonkey, cfHowlett, ok help me. I have a mac right here I am on it. I can get into terminal. this sounds grand.
[01:48] <dustmonkey> tripelb sounds like you need to google unetbootin
[01:48] <dustmonkey> tripelb they have a Mac package for creating live USB distros
[01:48] <dustmonkey> tripelb should be a sourceforge page
[01:48] <tripelb> dustmonkey, cfHowlett, --- I see this on the FromUSBStick webpage sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk or usb-creator-kde ---- OK I will google that. Maybe that's what I need to know.
[01:49] <CFHowlett> tripelb   that or unetbootin - same technique different apps.
[01:49] <dustmonkey> tripelb that will be the easiest way to accomplish what you are looking for
[01:49]  * dustmonkey CFHowlett hi-five!
[01:50] <tripelb> dustmonkey, cfHowlett, --- thanks. reading this. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[01:50] <dustmonkey> tripelb rock on!
[01:52] <zykotic10> to put 11.10 on a USB you can just use "sudo cat ubuntu.iso > /dev/sdX" X being the drive letter, no partition required.  Much easier then unetbootin
[01:53] <tripelb> are there any DISadvantages to 10.04 compared to 11.04   -- I want to use gnome not Unity.
[01:53] <zykotic10> tripelb: 10.04 packages are older then 11.04 - only "real" difference
[01:53] <log> tripelb: You can still use Gnome 2 in 11.04.
[01:53] <dustmonkey> xykotic10 that is not easier if you have no grasp of what you are doing, tripelb never enter commands from an IRC channel if you are unsure of what they do
[01:54] <zykotic10> dustmonkey: TAB fail :p - but perhaps you're right
[01:54] <dustmonkey> zykotic10 I like your way better
[01:55] <tripelb> dustmonkey, right about entering things I am unsure of. and unetbootin looks awesome.
[01:55] <magicJ> I have a system on my local network with cups running.  I would like to administer it with something like: https://192.168.0.4:631 - I get "forbidden" what do I need to set on the config file to allow this
[01:56] <CharminTheMoose> How does zykotic10's method work? Does catting an iso file to a partition actually make it automagically bootable? Wow that's weird.
[01:56] <zykotic10> CharminTheMoose: 11.10 is a hybrid ISO
[01:56] <tripelb> log I've heard you can but I've not been able to do that from the liveCD. (gnome was intuitively obvious to me from the first moment. It was like, oh this is so much simpler than windows. but unity is like finding a black cat at night in a lava field)
[01:56] <tripelb> full of black cats but you want a specific one
[01:56] <dustmonkey> zykotic10 you could also dd if=your.iso of=/USB
[01:57] <zykotic10> dustmonkey: true, but the people that came up with hybrid ISOs recommend cat, so that's what i use/suggest
[01:57] <dustmonkey> zykotic10 good call!
[01:58] <dustmonkey> zykotic10 I did not RTFM, remember to RTFM everyone
[01:58] <log> !rtfm | dustmonkey

[01:59] <ubiguy> I don't seem to have permission to edit sources.list in /etc/apt , what can i do?

[02:08] <FloodBot1> Feeck: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:08] <bazhang> BoyOfWuHan, debian is not supported here
[02:08] <nathaneltitane> ubunutu is a debian distro btw
[02:08] <doc-saintly> CharminTheMoose: It's two directory structures, each about 3tb in size :\
[02:08] <nathaneltitane> ubuntu*
[02:08] <CFHowlett> BoyOfWuHan   debian doesn't = ubuntu.  Please ask in #debian
[02:08] <bazhang> nathaneltitane, thats not correct
[02:08] <Feeck> when i try to edit a users acc type the window doesnt open
[02:08] <shawnn> i want to delete the actual partitions
[02:08] <nathaneltitane> it's a fork of the debian project
[02:08] <nhrfiport> Hi, how do I install SSL certificates on trusted certificates directory. E.g. if I try to use wget https://localization.att.com it fails on ubuntu server
[02:08] <bazhang> Feeck, dont repeat every five seconds
[02:08] <shawnn> basically wipe windows entirely
[02:08] <shawnn> and just keep ubuntu
[02:09] <Feeck> well then baxhang you know who i am you banned me a couple of weeks ago
[02:09] <CFHowlett> shawnn   use ubuntu to delete the windows partitions (it'll require sudo) and it's gone...
[02:10] <shawnn> alright do you mind telling me how?
[02:10] <Hybridsix> hello, does anyone know where I can find old debian packages for google chrome? specifically version 13, 64 bit?
[02:10] <shawnn> just look for the partition and delete it?
[02:10] <shawnn> i got the blue screen of death apparently on my windows so i needa wipe it :(
[02:10] <CFHowlett> shawnn   windows partition doesn't show under your Places menu?
[02:11] <BoyOfWuHan>  CFHowlett: ,,,,,anyquestion about GNU linux  should have a free sky..
[02:11] <bazhang> BoyOfWuHan, it does not. stop asking here. #debian for debian support
[02:11] <shawnn> hmm im actually on gnome so i dont have a places menu xP
[02:11] <_Marcus> BoyOfWuHan: Don't ask here. This is Ubuntu support.
[02:12] <CFHowlett> BoyOfWuHan   best place to get help with debian is #debian.

[02:13] <ubiguy> ^ideeas?
[02:13] <BoyOfWuHan> oh ..
[02:13] <CFHowlett> ubiguy   still in 12.04?
[02:13] <_Marcus> BoyOfWuHan: Ubuntu seems like Debian, that's because it's based off of it. You won't get support for Debain here. You most likely will never get support here for that. Go to #debian or anywhere but this chat room because this is #ubuntu, which is for UBUNTU support.
[02:13] <_Marcus> ubiguy: pastebin that next time, please.
[02:13] <shawnn> ok actually i went to "disk utility" and see the partitions, should i just delete the windows? are there any dependencies from ubuntu that would case it to be unstable
[02:14] <_Marcus> ubiguy: And what Ubuntu version are you using?
[02:14] <ubiguy> yes i know.
[02:15] <Ububegin> Is there any inbuilt commands like cat src.java or more src.java, but it also shows with syntax coloring.. I dont want to use vim to open up every file..
[02:16] <rh1n0> ive got some old servers running jaunty. Is there any way to upgrade that server in-place without trashing and starting over?
[02:17] <SaRSAeOL> rh1n0: apt-get dist-upgrade?

[02:17] <delinquentme> "sudo apt-get search rubygems"   << what am I foobaring here?
[02:18] <dlentz> i don't think you can do a dist-upgrade to karmic since it's eol
[02:18] <rh1n0> SaRSAeOL: i would but the repos arent even available anymore it seems
[02:18] <newer> I install a  debian os by small image, just 200M
[02:18] <pangolin> delinquentme: apt-cache search
[02:18] <xangua> !eol | rh1n0
[02:18] <rh1n0> delinquentme: try dpkg search instead
[02:18] <dlentz> rh1n0, best to use LTS if you don't like to upgrade
[02:19] <adpaolucci> think the LTS upate is going to be easy in april?
[02:19] <delinquentme> rh1n0, got an example search string?
[02:19]  * Hybridsix Leaving
[02:19] <SaRSAeOL> delinquentme: or aptitude search rubygems
[02:19] <rh1n0> dlentz: i usually use lucid but this project has some olddddd servers. Im migrating them all to lucid eventually
[02:19] <trism> Ububegin: you can install highlight, then: highlight -O ansi /path/to/file | less -R
[02:19] <newer> I install a  debian os by small image, just 200M, but I can connect the internet. I want a gcc.what should i do
[02:19] <pangolin> newer: ask in #debian
[02:20] <newer> ok
[02:20] <delinquentme> see thats the weird thing .. i install "sudo apt-get install rubygems1.9.1 "   and then " gem --version"  >> "1.3.5"
[02:20] <rh1n0> delinquentme: sorry, meant dpkg -s 'ruby'
[02:20] <delinquentme> doesnt make sense to me :D
[02:21] <rh1n0> delinquentme: if it were me i would just install ruby 1.8 then install rvm to get the later versions. rvm rocks.
[02:21] <CFHowlett> adpaolucci   end of april
[02:21] <rh1n0> delinquentme: http://beginrescueend.com/
[02:21] <delinquentme> rh1n0, true! but this machine is for a production server .. so I figured it would be extra stuff
[02:21] <adpaolucci> ya but think going from the old LTS to the new one will be easy?
[02:21] <delinquentme> do you think that would be wise to just install RVM on a production machine?
[02:22] <rh1n0> delinquentme: i use rvm in production all the time ;)
[02:22] <delinquentme> really!
[02:22] <delinquentme> Hmm
[02:22] <CFHowlett> adpaolucci   LTS to LTS is supported.
[02:22] <adpaolucci> sweet
[02:22] <rh1n0> yep i know many projects that use it as well. Its installed as root though - 'server-wide'
[02:22] <rh1n0> \quit
[02:23] <CFHowlett> adpaolucci   preparation: move your /home to a dedicated /home, clean up your system, back up and your data.  That way, if you have to clean install, you can keep your data
[02:23] <Ububegin> trism: Installed highlight.. but it seems more of a hassle to convert every single file... O_O
[02:23] <Eruadan> hi, what is a good extra software that let's me control the behaviours of my laptop touchpad, such as double tap or 1, and step of double tap of touch pad.
[02:24] <CFHowlett> Eruadan  brand of computer?
[02:24] <Eruadan> sony vaio
[02:24] <urfr332gO> Eruadan, look in the mouse control there is some there.
[02:24] <Eruadan> i'm using damn lubuntu. there's no manager for that
[02:24] <Eruadan> latest
[02:25] <trism> Ububegin: what do you mean convert? if you use -O ansi it will just echo out syntax highlighted text using shell escapes, you could easily wrap the above command in a script and then do something like: synless /path/to/file; to look at the file
[02:27] <CFHowlett> Eruadan   I don't see a firmware package for the vaio, so you should set the behaviors in your system>preferences>Mouse>touchpad
[02:27] <Eruadan> how do i get there?
[02:28] <Eruadan> nvm
[02:28] <Eruadan> i could set it to 1 click. that is enough for now
[02:29] <linocisco> hi
[02:29] <sjbrown> after I try [xinput set-int-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' "Device Enabled" 8 1], I check the value with [xinput list-props 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'] and it's still set to zero
[02:30] <vithos> init and rsyslogd seem to have gone haywire. how can i tell why? http://i.imgur.com/fkrqy.png
[02:30] <Boom_Farmer> I'm trying to manually add a session option to lightDM. Where can I find the settings to do so? (Not afraid to command-line)
[02:31] <trism> Boom_Farmer: add a .desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions/ (just copy one of the files there and substitute the name and command you need)
[02:31] <Boom_Farmer> trism: Thanks!
[02:32] <urfr332gO> Boom_Farmer, ctrl-alt f1-7 will get you to the tty
[02:32] <Boom_Farmer> Actually F 1-12
[02:32] <urfr332gO> Boom_Farmer, ah
[02:32] <urfr332gO> never use except when needed.
[02:33] <Dr_willis> you may have to 'sudo service lightdm restart' to get it to reread the new sesions.
[02:33] <Boom_Farmer> or just lightdm --test-mode -c /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[02:33] <Dr_willis> bbl.
[02:33] <Boom_Farmer> That opens lightdm in a nested X session.
[02:35] <b4shin4t3> hello world

[02:46] <delinquentme> OOC .. if im SSHED into a ubuntu box .. is it safe to have multiple installs running at once ?
[02:47] <xangua> brianp1992: to get what¿ if by chrome you mean Google Chrome, it comes with it's own flashplugin version
[02:48] <macmartine> I'm trying to understand cron jobs run under chrooted accounts. In the case of this: https://gist.github.com/1955160 -- what is the SHELL line doing exactly?
[02:48] <brianp1992> xangua, yeah thats what everyone says but nope it wont update by its self

[02:51] <Feeck> yes
[02:51] <Feeck> it still doesnt work i tried to log in as root earlier but that didnt help
[02:51] <EagleScreen> is there any character not allowed in file names?
[02:51] <Feeck> :
[02:51] <Feeck> that one ^
[02:52] <EagleScreen> I can crate a file with : in its name
[02:52] <stahlie> hi
[02:52] <EagleScreen> try $touch he:llo
[02:52] <theadmin> EagleScreen: None really, you can name a file pretty much anything. Watch out for moving it to Windows systems though, where some symbols are forbidden.
[02:53] <stahlie> I tried to extracted theme in  ~/.themes and still can't get it to show up on advanced setting...   one out of 4 themes only show up on the listing...
[02:53] <EagleScreen> I am looking for a good string separator for file names
[02:53] <stahlie> and there's blank on shell extension in Advanced setting...does anyone know how I can resolve that?
[02:54] <Feeck> EagleScreen, you cnat creat one with /
[02:55] <EagleScreen> Feeck: true, thinking if it nwould be a good separator
[02:55] <wolfmitchell> Can I install Ubuntu regularly alongside Windows, still being able to boot Windows?
[02:55] <wolfmitchell> Eg. Without WUBI?
[02:55] <theadmin> wolfmitchell: Sure.
[02:55] <Feeck> Rafael Belmonte! you cannot create one with a / in it
[02:55] <xangua> !dualboot | wolfmitchell
[02:56] <EagleScreen> Feeck: and do you think that can be a e-mail address with a '/' ?
[02:56] <Feeck> why do you need a separatorr
[02:56] <EagleScreen> Feeck: programming on PHP
[02:57] <theadmin> EagleScreen: Are you trying to use "ls" with something like split()? Just do "ls -1" and split by "\n"
[02:57] <EagleScreen> I read the files in a directory and I have to return them to HTML by AJAX
[02:57] <Feeck> EagleScreen: no emails are not compatible with hardly any symbol :)
[02:58] <EagleScreen> ok
[02:58] <wolfmitchell> ....
[02:58] <EagleScreen> can be a file on MS Windows with '/' ?
[02:58] <Feeck> EagleScreen: Try these ആ ച ത ᠕
[02:58] <wolfmitchell> Does anyone know the answer to my question?
[02:59] <theadmin> EagleScreen: Nope
[02:59] <theadmin> wolfmitchell: You were answered, twice. Yes, it's possible.
[02:59] <tleuser> hello
[02:59] <Feeck> EagleScreen: No windows is a joke and plus / is a file directory so it wont let you
[02:59] <EagleScreen> I used the heart character to separate username from password, lol, it is a strange character

[03:03] <Silver`> hi
[03:04] <MartinDK> Have anyone successfully installed the OpenJMS on ubuntu?
[03:11] <CFHowlett> MartinDK see   http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Installation:Debian
[03:20] <airstrik1> hi. how can i make /usr/sbin/hddtemp not require sudo?
[03:21] <jmccullough> Hello all! I'm attempting to dual boot windows7 and Ubuntu. I've freed up plenty of space on my hard drive, but the Ubuntu installer doesn't seem to recognize the free space.
[03:21] <jmccullough> By freed up I mean via the partition manager in windows
[03:21] <Silver`> and by recognise?
[03:22] <jmccullough> Silver`: Whenever I select manual partition setup, I don't see the "free space" that I see in tutorials
[03:22] <Silver`> oh i see. well that beats me
[03:22] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   paste a pic
[03:23] <jmccullough> I have an SSD but I want it on the harddrive, but the only drive option they are giving me for the guided install is the SSD
[03:23] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: Will do, one minute
[03:25] <RPG-Master> How might I use my Macbook while on my Ubuntu desktop? They'd both be in the same house and network. I've seen people do it before, but I don't know how.
[03:26] <jmccullough> RPG-Master: How do you mean use? SSH? Remote desktop?
[03:28] <RPG-Master> jmccrohan: I think it's remote desktop? Like, almost like a virtual machine, but not running on another computer.
[03:28] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: You there? Here's the image http://i.imgur.com/DmsM6.jpg
[03:29] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   freed space is on sda or sdb?
[03:29] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: sdb
[03:29] <jmccullough> RPG-Master: If you want to be able to navigate your Mac's terminal, I can help you with that
[03:29] <jmccullough> RPG-Master: From your ubuntu machine
[03:29] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   you want to use the whole drive for ubuntu?
[03:30] <physically_fit> what's a good cd burner? K3b is failing on me and Brasero is flipping slow.
[03:30] <CFHowlett> physically_fit   a good cd burner SHOULD be slow to reduce errors.
[03:30] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: Nope. I freed up space in the Windows partition manager so Ubuntu could live there
[03:30] <RPG-Master> jmccullough: What I'd like to be able to do is use Photoshop from my Ubuntu desktop.
[03:31] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   so click on the sdb1, change and size up your partition.
[03:31] <L3top> growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/file.iso   :)
[03:31] <physically_fit> CFHowlett, but i told brasero to burn at 24x and it's burning at 3.3x
[03:31] <jmccullough> RPG-Master: Ah, I see. If the computers are right next to eachother, I'd look into using Synergy. It allows you to share your mouse/keyboard accross a network
[03:31] <RPG-Master> OK, so I google image searched and this sums up what I'd like to do. http://linuxremotedesktop.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/java_remote_desktop_for_linux-296055-12559178401.jpeg
[03:31] <CFHowlett> physically_fit   24x is MAX speed not established speed.
[03:31] <physically_fit> CFHowlett, which one do you use?
[03:31] <CFHowlett> brasero at slowest speed.
[03:32] <physically_fit> CFHowlett, bur k3b was fast and i tell it to burn at 16x and it does it without errors, but now k3b doesnt recognize my cd unit
[03:32] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: I have a lot of options under the Use as, such as swap area, Fat32 file system, etc. What should I do with it?
[03:33] <physically_fit> what's a good cd burner? K3b is failing on me and Brasero is flipping slow.
[03:33] <L3top> growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/file.iso
[03:33] <RPG-Master> jmccullough: Seems like I'v read about that Synergy. I'll look into it.
[03:33] <physically_fit> physically_fit, i have to burn a lot of data, please help me
[03:33] <RPG-Master> But, my goal would to have something like in that screenshot.
[03:34] <jmccullough> RPG-Master: Basically it lets you have a dual-screen workflow across multiple OS
[03:34] <physically_fit> lol
[03:34] <physically_fit> i have to burn a lot of data, please help me
[03:34] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   you need a / "root" of say 6 gigs for ubuntu, a "/home" of whatever size and a /swap.  I use 2x ram for swap so 8 gigs.  ext 4 is the default format.
[03:34] <jmccullough> RPG-Master: Ah, well I don't know how to do that myself, sorry.
[03:34] <physically_fit> brasero i hate you
[03:34] <RPG-Master> jmccullough: Cool. Thanks for the help. :)
[03:34] <seshagiri> hello i am trying to conduct a small contest where users can login and participate. what all things should be taken careoff while setting the permissions of each and every folder and how to restrict users from executing certain commands?
[03:34] <seshagiri> *users can ssh
[03:34] <physically_fit> jesuschrist
[03:35] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   my battery is minutes away from shutdown.   msg received?
[03:36] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: Thanks for the help. I am able to set it to EXt4, but I don't see where to adjust the size
 jmccullough   you need a / "root" of say 6 gigs for ubuntu, a "/home" of whatever size and a /swap.  I use 2x ram for swap so 8 gigs.  ext 4 is the default format
[03:36] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: Yes I recieved the message, than you for your time
[03:37] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   are you on alternate installer or gui?
[03:37] <OmnipotentEntity> question, anyone here know anyone who has mod powers on launchpad?  Or where I can report pharma spam on launchpad to?
[03:37] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: Normal Kubuntu installer
[03:38] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   long time no see kubuntu, but process is similar.  the size setting function is there somewhere.  Paste a pic and we'll probably find it.
[03:38] <CFHowlett> jmccullough   as my battery says 5 minutes, paste the pic and ask the channel for help with sizing the partition.
[03:38] <CFHowlett> good luck
[03:39] <L3top> should be able to drag the bar
[03:39] <physically_fit> i hate brasero and i hate twitter too
[03:39] <jmccullough> CFHowlett: Thank you
[03:39] <L3top> kubu has 2 bars... one before one after
[03:39] <L3top> the after bar has a black line which is sizable
[03:39] <L3top> drag where you want
[03:39] <rodrerich> hay algún canal donde se hable español?
[03:40] <physically_fit> rodrerich, !es
[03:40] <jmccullough> L3top: I see that now, did not notice that before. However, it's only giving me the option to do that on my SSd, I'd like to do that on my hard drive
[03:40] <physically_fit> !es
[03:40] <physically_fit> rodrerich, ese mismito
[03:40] <L3top> dropdown will let you select the drive
[03:40] <Silver`> battery is a sad thing to waste:)
[03:40] <jmccullough> L3top: It sems like it should, but the SSD is the only option
[03:41] <maum> when the screen is locked, audacious don't play music any more how can I fix this?
[03:41] <physically_fit> !es > rodrerich
[03:41] <L3top> then... either your drive is already mounted for some reason, or some sort of problem...
[03:41] <L3top> ctrl alt f2
[03:42] <physically_fit> FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY brasero
[03:42] <jmccullough> L3top: Could it be a dirty ubuntu uninstallation?
[03:42] <L3top> not sure...
[03:42] <L3top> I mean
[03:42] <L3top> you are on live cd I presume yes?
[03:42] <L3top> cause this part of the installer is looking at the physical device
[03:43] <jmccullough> L3top: I'm not sure, I'm just using the standard installation image
[03:43] <L3top> It probably mounts and unmounts it almost instantly in order to get usage info
[03:43] <maum> when the screen is locked, audacious don't play music any more how can I fix this?
[03:43] <L3top> then it is just looking at the device, its contents dont matter
[03:43] <jmccullough> L3top: I'm booted into it, I was able to use ctrl alt f2 to get to the shell
[03:43] <jmccullough> booted from the cd *
[03:44] <L3top> gotcha...
[03:44] <Silver`> jmccullough:  What happens if you select the /dev/sdb1 and press Add?
[03:44] <jmccullough> Silver`: I can't
[03:44] <L3top> mount | grep /dev/s*
[03:44] <jmccullough> Silver`: It's greyed out
[03:44] <Silver`> first select "dev/sdb1"
[03:44] <L3top> follow Silver`I have to get back to what I am doing if I want to sleep tonight
[03:45] <jmccullough> L3top: Okay, thanks for help
[03:45] <jmccullough> L3top: Greatly appreciated :)
[03:45] <maum> when the screen is locked, audacious don't play music any more how can I fix this?
[03:45] <jmccullough> Silver`: Done, options are Change and Delete
[03:46] <jmccullough> Here is the picture of what it looks like again http://i.imgur.com/DmsM6.jpg
[03:48] <Silver`> i saw the pic the first time i just think u didn't select the last partition
[03:48] <Silver`> the "unknown" one
[03:48] <Computer> trying to get seamless mode working when ubuntu 11 is guest on virtualbox and windows 7 is host
[03:48] <Computer> installed dkms, and the guest additions via the guest additions installer in virtualbox
[03:48] <jmccullough> Silver`: Yeah, unfortunately I don't get an add option
[03:48] <Computer> doesn't seem to be making a difference
[03:49] <sacarlson> jmccullough: you haven't chosen a root mount point in that picture,  you will also have check format on the partition /dev/sdb1 as it's unknown
[03:50] <jmccullough> sacarlson: The partition is actually my entire hard drive (the /sda's are from my SSD). It's not recognizing anything on the hard drive it seems
[03:51] <sacarlson> jmccullough: it won't recognize a partition that is not formated
[03:52] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I'd like to use the free space on the hard drive to create a partition usable by Ubuntu. It feels like I had done it before with my first ubuntu installation
[03:52] <sacarlson> jmccullough: what is your goal to break up the disk sdb into smaller parts?
[03:52] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Yes, that is my goal
[03:53] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I will take a screenshot of my windows partition setup
[03:53] <sacarlson> jmccullough: if you don't want to use the entire disk as a single partition then I guess you will have to delete partition sdb1
[03:53] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Will my data on the hard drive be safe?
[03:54] <allure> is there any solution for linux to trully edit pdfs?
[03:54] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I notice if I press delete, the partition turns into "free space". Kubuntu lets me undo that operation, I fear that deleting the partition implies deleting the data
[03:54] <sacarlson> jmccullough: I take it no OS is using any part of /dev/sdb1 ?
[03:55] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Windows is using it. Screenshot incoming in a moment
[03:55] <sacarlson> jmccullough: if so then you must have already deleted it and the data is already lost unless you haven't applied what I already see
[03:56] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I'm on windows right now, the screenshot you are looking at is with me not altering anything
[03:56] <Silver`> usually when u resize windows partitions the free space is unwritten, empty. what did u use to resizi windows partition?
[03:57] <sacarlson> jmccullough: from what I see here your windows exists on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2
[03:57] <Silver`> resize*
[03:57] <jmccullough> Here is how my windows partition looks
[03:57] <jmccullough> http://i.imgur.com/RFCwe.png
[03:57] <hypershock> vuze or qbittorrent?
[04:00] <sacarlson> jmccullough: I'm not sure why those images don't seem to match as you windows shows a 500gb disk present and the ubuntu shows a 1TB disk,  are those both the same disk?
[04:01] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I have the HD partitioned under windows
[04:01] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I split the 1TB hard drive into a couple of drives
[04:01] <Pecker> is there any archived rops for karmic?
[04:01] <Pecker> repos*
[04:01] <sacarlson> jmccullough: well I should be able to see the split in ubuntu as it recognizes ntfs partitions also
[04:02] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Exactly, which is why I'm so frustrated right now.
[04:02] <Silver`> i think you should unsplit the disk in windows then install ubuntu?
[04:02] <sacarlson> jmccullough: your not running with wubi are you?
[04:02] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Is it because these partitions are not "primary partitions" ?
[04:02] <jmccullough> sacarlson: No
[04:03] <sacarlson> jmccullough: no as far as I know ubuntu recognizes more types of partitions than windows does not less
[04:03] <goddard> how can i print on a printer that is connected to a windows pc?
[04:04] <goddard> is it hard to setup?
[04:04] <sacarlson> jmccullough: that image in windows you pastebin last was that an old image before what I now see in ubuntu ?
[04:04] <jmccullough> sacarlson: No, that's all from this IRC session
[04:05] <jmccullough> Silver`: I'm okay with any solution so long as I don't lose my data. I'm considering just nuking the hard drive and putting things back after kubuntu installs >_>
[04:05] <sacarlson> jmccullough: all I can think of is that was a planed partition and wasn't applyed yet
[04:06] <Silver`> i don't think u need to do that. i dont know how you split up the disk in two. could you put it back together?
[04:06] <sacarlson> jmccullough: like what is seen now in ubuntu with sudo fdisk -l
[04:07] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I'll do that, I'll need to boot back from the CD
[04:07] <jmccullough> Silver`: I could put it back together, yes.
[04:07] <Silver`> well i guess that'd be faster than nuking
[04:11] <jmccullough> sacarlson: fdisk shows nothing
[04:11] <sacarlson> jmccullough: nothing?  you did put sudo
[04:11] <jmccullough> sacarlson: No, will do, sec
[04:12] <sacarlson> $sudo fdisk -l  where -l  is lower case -L
[04:12] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Any particular part of interest? I have no way of copying and pasting haha
[04:12] <sacarlson> jmccullough: the line that has /dev/sdb1  would be of interest
[04:13] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Okay, in the form of key => value,...
[04:13] <sacarlson> jmccullough: as in format like: /dev/sdb1   *           1       12748   102398278+  83  Linux
[04:14] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Device => /dev/sdbi, Boot =>, Start => 63, End => 1953523119, Blacks => 976761528+, ID => 42, System => SFS
[04:14] <jmccullough> sdb1*
[04:14] <jmccullough> And blocks, not blacks
[04:14] <sacarlson> ok
[04:15] <jmccullough> Is it possible an old GNU grub installation is mounting these disks?
[04:15] <jmccullough> And causing some issues
[04:15] <sacarlson> jmccullough: well that also doen't match your ubuntu partition manager image so ?
[04:16] <sacarlson> jmccullough: so how many sdbX do we have then?
[04:17] <jmccullough> sacarlson: That's it
[04:17] <sacarlson> jmccullough: but there must also be some unused part of sdb then
[04:18] <sacarlson> jmccullough: I've never heard of system SFS , I guess that's some windows partition that is subdivided in windows
[04:19] <szal> jmccullough: lol, racist shell commands :D
[04:19] <jmccullough> szal: :P
[04:20] <Silver`> could it be because he has a basic disk and a dynamic disk?
[04:21] <jmccullough> I'm looking at this thread now: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669910
[04:24] <jmccullough> I see somthing
[04:24] <Silver`> SFS volumes are encrypted volumes
[04:24] <jmccullough> From thi sblog post http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/02/manual-advanced-partitioning-in-ubuntu.html
[04:24] <jmccullough> "If you are going to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 7, make sure your drive is a Basic disk and not a Dynamic one as Dynamic disk is Microsoft proprietary thing."
[04:25] <jmccullough> Notice in the picture the D/E drives, which make up the large hard drive, are all Dynamic
[04:25] <sacarlson> jmccullough: so I take it then that ubuntu can't mount an SFS file system
[04:25] <jmccullough> sacarlson: It appears to be that way, es
[04:26] <jmccullough> sacarlson: According to a forum thread I just read
[04:26] <sacarlson> jmccullough: yes I noted the drive E: later that must be a sub partition of the SFS
[04:27] <sacarlson> jmccullough: so there is no unpartitioned space left on that disk then?
[04:27] <jmccullough> sacarlson: Does that 200gb unallocated qualify as unpartitioned space? I imagine it would yet we can't see it
[04:27] <axisys> how to cross compile for arm in ubuntu x86 platform ?
[04:27] <sacarlson> jmccullough: seems to only add up to about 700GB in windows but maybe that's all you get?
[04:28] <axisys> running latest ubuntu desktop
[04:28] <dcplaya> Can anyone here help me with a tftp-hpa issue I am having?
[04:29] <sacarlson> jmccullough: I'm not seeing the whole view of sudo fdisk -l so I'm not sure if there is any
[04:29] <GhostWolf> hi all, does anyone know how to get power saving mode for 11.10? im not using a laptop or netbook at all, just a normal desktop pc, i have checked the power settings in system settings, but it seems it doesn't work
[04:29] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I'll do the "try kubuntu" mode so I can have access to the terminal and internet so I can paste it
[04:30] <nilsonmorales> ohh how many people
[04:30] <sacarlson> jmccullough: you can install pastebinit in the temp live cd and send with that
[04:30] <nilsonmorales> puppy just have 37
[04:31] <nilsonmorales> buenas noches señores
[04:31] <jmccullough> Anyone know how to scroll up in irssi? >_>...
[04:31] <Silver`> ./dev/sda1 + /dev/sda2 = 40 000 MB = Disk 0 in Windows. /dev/sdb1  = 1TB  = Disk 1 in Windows (531 GB + 200 + 195 +5)
[04:32] <jmccullough> Silver`: yeah, ssd is 40gig, hd is 1tb
[04:32] <jmccullough> According to this blog post: "If you wish to find out if your disk is a Basic or a Dynamic one from the Ubuntu Live CD, run following command in Terminal (Applications > Accessories).
[04:32] <jmccullough> sudo fdisk -l
[04:32] <jmccullough> If the output contains "SFS", probably you've got Dynamic disk. Time to go back to Windows and convert the disks"
[04:33] <Rakyth> Hey
[04:33] <sacarlson> jmccullough: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit ; and send the resulting page
[04:33] <Silver`> and ubuntu can't see the windows files of drives D: and E:
[04:33] <Rakyth> Is there a way to get gparted on a Windows machine without the boot disk?
[04:33] <Silver`> yep, i say convert them to Basic Disk too
[04:34] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I will in a few after I attempt to convert these disks
[04:34] <Rakyth> Also; how would I make a dual boot setup with Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7? I'm assuming I just setup a seperate partition for each and install each OS into those.
[04:34] <sacarlson> Rakyth: I'm not sure they have a gparted in windows maybe partition magic
[04:34] <delinquentme> OK I've got a ubuntu server up on EC2 .. with a web server running on it .. the web servers config is set to serve out at port 3000 ... however:    http://ec2-23-20-139-29.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/     is giving me nothing
[04:34] <jmccullough> Rakyth: Just make sure you don't go partition crazy or you'll end up in the mess I'm in now!
[04:35] <delinquentme> actually im gonna take it to ubuntu-server
[04:35] <Rakyth> sacarlson: I just need to edit the partitions of a drive connected to my computer
[04:35] <jmccullough> delinquentme:Get your public ip
[04:35] <Rakyth> Not my C: drive
[04:35] <jmccullough> delinquentme: From the AWS console
[04:35] <jmccullough> delinquentme: It's basically the numbers after ec2
[04:35] <sacarlson> Rakyth: you can run gparted or the newer version in ubuntu
[04:36] <Rakyth> Yeah but I have one USB key and I have windows 7 already bootable on it
[04:36] <jmccullough> delinquentme: Make a record in your hosts file: 23.20.139.29 myserver.com
[04:36] <Rakyth> I would like to sleep tonight if you catch my drift
[04:36] <jmccullough> Okay, gotta back up my data now that I'm getting into dangerous territory
[04:36] <delinquentme> jmccullough, so im actually not seeing any public IP .. only DNS public/private .. and private IP
[04:36] <jmccullough> Thanks to sacarlson and Silver` for all the help in the event you are gone before the data finishes backing up
[04:37] <jmccullough> ping 23.20.139.29
[04:37] <delinquentme> i can run ifconfig on the server
[04:37] <Silver`> jmccullough:  just remember to partition ubuntu correctly :)
[04:37] <jmccullough> Forgot you can't ping ec2, nvm
[04:37] <jmccullough> Silver`: yup yup :P
[04:37] <Silver`> i think i'll be here :P
[04:37] <Silver`> >:D< good luck
[04:37] <jmccullough> Okay! \o/
[04:38] <jmccullough> Ty!!
[04:38] <jmccullough> \o\ \o/ /o/
[04:38] <jmccullough> \o\ /o/ \o\ /o/
[04:38] <FloodBot1> jmccullough: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:38] <delinquentme> :P
[04:38]  * T_H_X giggles a bit
[04:38] <jmccullough> delinquentme: Those amazon public IPs aren't going to work in your browser like that
[04:39] <Rakyth> Out of curiosity: Could I use Ubuntu to partition my windows partition after I install windows 7?
[04:39] <delinquentme> Rakyth, you should probably shrink you windows partition first within windows
[04:39] <szal> Rakyth: partitioning should preferably be done _before_ installing something on them
[04:40] <delinquentme> mycomputer> right click > manage > manage hard disk
[04:40] <delinquentme> jmccullough, yeah im googling and cant find an external way to check the ip
[04:40] <Silver`> i think he has ubuntu and wants to install windows
[04:40] <Rakyth> that's what I'm asking about
[04:40] <delinquentme> internal way to get the external IP
[04:40] <delinquentme> Ohhhh
[04:40] <Rakyth> No I have windows XP and one USB key with a windows 7 live disk on it
[04:41] <Silver`> but i dont think u can partition windows that way (it's easyer to do it  in wondows actually)
[04:41] <Rakyth> how do I partition my other drive without wiping the hour long process of throwing windows 7 back on it?
[04:41] <Rakyth> so what you're suggesting is
[04:41] <Rakyth> I go ahead and install windows 7
[04:41] <Rakyth> partition inside windows
[04:41] <jmccullough> delinquentme: What are you running on the server that responds to port 3000?
[04:41] <Rakyth> and then install ubuntu?
[04:41] <delinquentme> jmccullough, trinidad
[04:42] <sacarlson> Rakyth: seems we just learned if windows7 is using SFS file system then you can't use ubuntu to break it up
[04:42] <Rakyth> what the crap is SFS?
[04:42] <Silver`> encrypred dynamis disk
[04:42] <Silver`> dynamic*
[04:42] <Rakyth> ...alright
[04:42] <Rakyth> Can windows partition its own drive?
[04:42] <GhostWolf> ok let me ask this again, does anyone know how to get the power saving mode on 11.10 ubuntu? im not on a laptop nor netbook
[04:42] <Silver`> so don't encrypt disks :P
[04:43] <Silver`> or decrypt them before installing ubuntu
[04:43] <Boom_Farmer> GhostWolf: Enable laptop mode. It should start power saving just the same.
[04:43] <GhostWolf> Boom_Farmer, but im not on a laptop
[04:43] <xsinick> this is great
[04:44] <xsinick> fianlly  Unity is getting better
[04:44] <dhruvasagar> xsinick: what's great ?
[04:44] <Boom_Farmer> GhostWolf: it's called laptop mode because people generally use it on laptops, but the powersaving measures it applies work just as well on desktops.
[04:44] <xsinick> 12.04 looks like the ubuntu I know
[04:44] <GhostWolf> Boom_Farmer, ok, where is that located? in the power mode under system settings?
[04:45] <sacarlson> Rakyth: I'm sure at install windows7 must provide options in partitioning,  and after they must have tools to manipulate partitions like partition magic
[04:45] <Rakyth> No, the windows 7 does not provide partitioning options. That's why I stopped and logged back into XP to ask.
[04:45] <Rakyth> Not the installer, anywho.
[04:45] <Silver`> i think it does
[04:45] <Rakyth> I couldn't find it in any of the menus I explored
[04:46] <Rakyth> It offers an option to format a drive
[04:46] <xsinick> dhruvasagar: Ubuntu 12.4 looks like it geting back some stuff
[04:46] <dhruvasagar> xsinick: really ? that sounds good
[04:46] <Boom_Farmer> GhostWolf: Maybe? I'm not sure where it is in Ubuntu. I generally run 'powertop' from the command line and use its settings stuff.
[04:46] <sacarlson> Rakyth: well that would be a question to ask in #windows I would think they would have a better handle on partitioning in that system
[04:46] <Silver`> i've had windows before linux and that's what i used
[04:46] <GhostWolf> Boom_Farmer, ok
[04:47] <xsinick> the options to hide that ugly unity side bar is Awsome!
[04:47] <dhruvasagar> xsinick: although the new 'alt+tab' system really irritates me a lot :(, do you think we could go back to how it was ?
[04:47] <hopstafarian> evening all
[04:47] <Silver`> Rakyth:  type "partitions" into the searchbox of the Start button
[04:47] <nilsonmorales> how is this comand aplay %s or %s aplay
[04:47] <nilsonmorales> the order
[04:47] <hopstafarian> anyone have any experience with building a beowulf cluster?
[04:47] <xsinick> dhruvasagar: alt+tab system ... mmmm
[04:48] <Rakyth> With how often you guys get problems with people trying to keep both installs, I thought you'd have more experience. Sorry. I'll install 7 and see if it can partition its c:/ drive
[04:48] <dhruvasagar> xsinick: yea alt+tab now displays applications across all workspaces and switches workspaces etc, it's quite annoying and often very wrong
[04:48] <xsinick> the old way  for switching windows with alt+tab and compiz was mad cool
[04:48] <Rakyth> Cya
[04:48] <Rakyth> Thanks for the help
[04:48] <szal> nilsonmorales: what is 'aplay'?  what is '%s'?  think about it, then answer your own question
[04:49] <xsinick> I understand the new unity move and leaving  gnome
[04:49] <dhruvasagar> xsinick: I keep multiple browser windows on different workspaces for different sort of browsing, but when I switch to a workspace for another app and then do alt+tab for the browser, I switch to the browser on that workspace instead of the one I came from, that is annoying
[04:49] <nilsonmorales> inside the pidgin preferences
[04:49] <nilsonmorales> this comand is used for the sounds
[04:49] <dcplaya> Can anyone help me set up a tftp server?
[04:49] <nilsonmorales> but i dont remember the order
[04:50] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, maybe, depending on your needs
[04:50] <xsinick> dhruvasagar: I think you can set keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu sice way back
[04:50] <nilsonmorales> %s aplay or aplay %s
[04:50] <xsinick> but
[04:50] <dhruvasagar> xsinick: keyboard shortcuts we can, but how will that solve my problem
[04:50] <xsinick>  rather the default actions be correct
[04:50] <dcplaya> hopstafarian I am just trying to get PXE booting working. I can do everything else but I cant get a tftp server running
[04:51] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, why tftp?...limited system ersources?
[04:51] <szal> nilsonmorales: hint: one is a command, the other is a variable for the argument the command takes..  do you get it now?
[04:51] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, have almost no experience with PXE...
[04:51] <nilsonmorales> ok tnx bro
[04:51] <dcplaya> hopstafarian PXE doesnt support anything else but tftp to boot the pxelinux.0 file (maybe im mistaken though)
[04:52] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, think i mighta spoke too soon...(see above re PXE experience)
[04:53] <GhostWolf> does anyone here know how i can enable laptop mode in 11.10? and not through terminal either
[04:53] <sacarlson> dcplaya: what site did you use as a reference to setup PXE?
[04:53] <maum> no sound when locking screen
[04:53] <xsinick> I just think ubuntu  dev are making a right move  by brings things back to ubuntu  we had before
[04:54] <dcplaya> I have been using a few different sites just to get TFTP booting.  sacarlson  my router points to my server (dd-wrt) but tftp isnt working to start the actual boot process
[04:55] <dcplaya> ive tried tftpd-hpa and it always gives me a time out error
[04:55] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, googling it, it looks like maybe vsftpd is also possible with pxe?
[04:56] <rattatoue> !precise
[04:56] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, @ least in centos....http://nixcraft.com/file-servers/14803-how-centos-5-pxe-linux-installation-server.html
[04:56] <mcl0vin> is there some open source for ubuntu like gomeeting
[04:57] <sacarlson> dcplaya: dcplaya: if I recall you need to setup what IP you allow into tftp so I guess we will need to see your configs you now have setup
[04:58] <dcplaya> Right now its all been removed (--purge). Trying to get to a clean slate to try it again
[04:59] <dcplaya> but something simialr to whats listed http://maddhat.com/tag/tftpd-hpa
[04:59] <mcl0vin> is there some open source for ubuntu like gomeeting
[04:59] <computer_> Hi there all I have a problem with Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop wired network connection, you see when I unplug the cable and then put my laptop to sleep and then later wake it up again and then bring my laptop back out again and plug the LAN cable back in in wont connect, it just endlessly tries but never connects. And I have to restart the hole computer to get it to connect
[05:00] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, sure that you've checked this out, but maybe this is helpful?    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[05:00] <computer_> I was thinking of just restarting the network manager and any associated network daemons but should I really have to be doing that?
[05:00] <hopstafarian> dcplaya, doesn't start by default, and has a ipv6 vs ipv4 listening issue, at least in 10.04
[05:01] <GhostWolf> does anyone know how to enable laptop mode in 11.10 without doing it in terminal?
[05:01] <dcplaya> hopstafarian thats basically waht I am following right now
[05:02] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, crontab -e and @restart line?
[05:03] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, i don't want a command line to type in terminal.
[05:03] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, you want it to start in laptop mode by default?
[05:03] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, i want to enable laptop mode so i can enable power saving mode
[05:04] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, so yes, by default, or just whenever, but through gui?
[05:05] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, yes by defualt so when there is no activity by me for like 5 mins my monitor just shuts down and i can turn it back on with my mouse. and yes through gui.
[05:07] <Silver`> GhostWolf:  try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=940612
[05:09] <GhostWolf> Silver`, im using 11.10 and plus i don't want to download a package. if i can't do it other any way then fine but i don't want to download something that i was able to do in previous versions
[05:09] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, when i upgraded to 11.10, my backlit kb ceased to light up...i was able fire it up w/ a cli string, but obviously not preferable...the solution was to "crontab -e" (as root), and then add a line that read "@restart <cli string>...now it works the backlit keyboard works all the time, even prior to gui login...this is what you're looking for, w/ <command string> = the laptop-mode command string...once entered, boot into that by default?
[05:10] <GhostWolf> um hopstafarian by reading that, all that sounds like i need to type commands via terminal. again i don't want to do that as i stated
[05:10] <Silver`> he doesn't want to use commands lol
[05:11] <jmccullough> Silver`: I'm still backing up my stuff >_>.
[05:11] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, you type it once into the crontab (scheduler) file, and then it does it as part of the bootup evertime...never have to type it agin...that's why i asked if it was by default or 'on demand'?
[05:11] <Silver`> jmccullough:  good job :)
[05:12] <jmccullough> Silver`: I found a forum post on converting the disk from dynamic to basic, but there is a chance of data loss.
[05:12] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, i don't boot my pc up everytime i need to use it.
[05:13] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, i'm sorry man...i guess i don't unnerstan the ?
[05:13] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, i apologize
[05:13] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, you do know what power saving mode is?
[05:13] <Silver`> there's always a chance... Try this : http://www.dynamic-disk-converter.com/
[05:14] <GhostWolf> Silver`, you think its funny that i don't want to type commands all the time in terminal?
[05:15] <Silver`> GhostWolf:  it's just that it's linux and.. well... You only need to do it once, not every time, and it will make it run every time.
[05:15] <faissal> i think its funny
[05:15] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, so, if you WERE to type it into the command line (which i heard that you don't want to do)...how would you chuck that wood, if you could?
[05:15] <GhostWolf> Silver`, well i don't like doing it. i rather do things in gui
[05:15] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, what?
[05:15] <faissal> lol hopstafarian
[05:15] <Silver`> i guess using linux and wishing to use only GUI is like going to the doctor and wishing to keep clothes on
[05:16] <hopstafarian> what is the command line that you're trying to avoid typing?
[05:16] <maum> there is no sound after screen locked. how can I fix this?
[05:16] <Silver`> commandphobia:D
[05:16] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, and yes i know its linux. but if i was going to do things via command line i'd would choose something other than ubuntu as the linux distro
[05:17] <Silver`> maybe hopstafarian can tunr the command into a GUI
[05:17] <GhostWolf> hopstafarian, its not a command line i am talking about.. im trying to enable power saving mode, someone else said to enable laptop mode, and all searches and even the guy who mentioned it says he only does it via command
[05:17] <Silver`> hopstafarian:  He wants to permanently enable laptop mode so he can safe power all the time on his desktop
[05:17] <Silver`> save*
[05:17] <GhostWolf> but if you guys think this is funny someone doesn't want to use terminal on every single thing then you guys surely are not helpful..
[05:20] <faissal> GhostWolf: just install this package laptop-mode-tools if ur on 10.04+
[05:20] <rattatoue> GhostWolf, you can install laptop-mode-tools through synaptic or that Ubuntu Software Center
[05:21] <faissal> GhostWolf: then check if it is turned on with: cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
[05:21] <GhostWolf> nevermind as you guys didn't listen i don't want to install anything if it can't be done cause of the this new crap they got then forget it. bye you guys aren't really helpful.
[05:21] <Silver`> i still think it's funny :)
[05:21] <faissal> lol
[05:21] <rattatoue> Well that was really rude
[05:22] <Firebolt> It's not too hard to open a term and sudo apt-get install a package
[05:22] <hopstafarian> GhostWolf, can't speak for anyone but me, but don't think it's funny, and there's a reason that gui exist, and is good for a lot of things....but i don't know the gui fix, but i might have a handle on a fix outside the gui, that once it's fixed...but have to know what command line you wanted to execute...it sounded like you knew and if not hey...i don't either, that's what i'm trying to figure out...is it laptop-mode, etc.?
[05:22] <rattatoue> hopstafarian, he already left and had a hissy fit
[05:22] <Silver`> i guess he'd be more satisfied with the answer "it's not possible"
[05:23] <rattatoue> i dont get why you dont want to install a package that is what 1mb in size -.-
[05:23] <faissal> Setting up laptop-mode-tools (1.60-1ubuntu1) ...
[05:23] <faissal>  * Enabling laptop mode...                                               [ OK ]
[05:23] <faissal> that was it !
[05:24] <faissal> lol
[05:24] <Silver`> he must've had a hard time dealing with his computer and the electricity bill.. poor guy.
[05:24] <rattatoue> why do people come ask for help, then the answer they get and help they get they dont like it and leave
[05:24] <hopstafarian> rattatoue, thanks...i didn't know if i was being obtuse or not....?...personally don't come here to aggravate or eff w/ others...plenty of opportunity to do that in real-life(aka land of not having to type)..
[05:24] <faissal> yep
[05:24] <sacarlson> silver: no I think Ghostwolf:  want's the video like on youtube that shows him in realtime how it's done in graphics mode.  so when he's got it figured out I hope he makes one.
[05:24] <rattatoue> hopstafarian, no you were being helpful, he apparently just wanted a go here press this button bam fix to his problem instead of actually doing work
[05:25] <Boom_Farmer> Does anyone here run a session with just compiz and no desktop? How do you start it?
[05:25] <Silver`> i still think it was funny:)))
[05:25] <rattatoue> Silver`, it made me laugh thats for sure
[05:25] <faissal> lol Silver`
[05:25] <Silver`> i can't stop now lol
[05:26] <hopstafarian> rattatoue, well..you know..i unnerstand the frustration...some i am on the wrong side of the ballmer peak, and just wanna check a box and be done...
[05:26] <bazhang> !ot
[05:26] <Silver`> and there's sum1 sleeping in my room
[05:26] <bazhang> lets get back to support please
[05:26] <Silver`> yes sorry
[05:26] <rattatoue> where were just joking around boss
[05:26] <rattatoue> *we were
[05:27] <rattatoue> Boom_Farmer, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[05:27] <Boom_Farmer> rattatoue: Xubuntu 11.10
[05:28] <Silver`> rattatoue:  can i pm you?
[05:28] <hopstafarian> faissal, so 'crontab -e'(as root)...and then '@restart laptop-mode' would have worked, you think?
[05:28] <rattatoue> Silver`, sure
[05:28] <faissal> hopstafarian: i have no clue
[05:28] <hopstafarian> faissal, (and thanks for getting the wouldchuck joke..)
[05:28] <rattatoue> Boom_Farmer, any reason you want to run compiz without a desktop?
[05:29] <Boom_Farmer> rattatoue: Because I saw a guy do it earlier tonight, and it was awesome, and now I want to do it.
[05:29] <faissal> hopstafarian: ;)
[05:30] <rattatoue> Boom_Farmer, this might help you. I think its what you want to do https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompizStandalone
[05:30] <Boom_Farmer> rattatoue: Right now, all my desktop environment does is paint a pretty background, which is usually covered by windows.
[05:30] <rattatoue> Boom_Farmer, check out the link I posted ^ it explains how to do it for ubuntu
[05:30]  * Boom_Farmer reads
[05:35] <vani> Hi, I'm running 12.04 x86...where and how can I install armel-cross-toolchain-base
[05:35] <MestreLion> hi! is it possible to achieve Wireless 150 MB/s using Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 (Atheros AR9285) ?
[05:35] <Firebolt> vani, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support
[05:35] <urfr332gO> !pm | svencnrr,
[05:36] <vani> Firebolt, thank you.
[05:36] <urfr332gO> svencnrr, you have been put on ignore.
[05:37] <MestreLion> My router already says its operating @ 150mbps (N-Only, 40MHz channel, etc), but connection manager (and ifconfig, iwconfig, etc) says Bit-Rate is 78 Mb/s
[05:37] <Boom_Farmer> MestreLion: It depends on how close you are to the router.
[05:37] <drounse> why is microsoft really pushing the fact windows 8 will run on ARM?
[05:37] <Boom_Farmer> Poor signal can prevent high speeds.
[05:38] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, how far are you from the router?
[05:38] <MestreLion> Boom_Farmer: lets than 1 meter...
[05:38] <bazhang> drounse, stay on topic please
[05:38] <MestreLion> im configuring the router right now, both netbook and router are in my table
[05:38] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, walls? metal objects? em sources?,etc?
[05:38] <MestreLion> no, they are side by side, on top op my table
[05:38] <Boom_Farmer> Any other wireless networks on the same channel?
[05:39] <drounse> bazhang where do you suppose i take this qusetion? other than a microsoft room cuz they will make a big deal that im asking
[05:39] <MestreLion> not that I know of, Boom_Farmer... i've set channel to auto, so router picks the best channel
[05:39] <bazhang> drounse, no idea. this is ubuntu support only. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:40] <MestreLion> I don't know if 10.04 (using ath9k driver) or my netbook is capable of 150
[05:41] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, some w/l cards are better than others, both inherently, and w/combination with of os, 'driver setup' you've consistently gotten good reception on the laptop in other environs (soft and hard?)
[05:42] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, sorry, didn't mean for that to sound like innuendo)
[05:42] <MestreLion> hopstafarian: reception is fine... i mean, router and netbook are like less than 1 meter one fro the other, both on top of table... connection manager says strengh varies from 92% to 100%
[05:43] <hopstafarian> hmm... i might, not know then,..sorry...
[05:44] <MestreLion> would connection manager show 150 MB/s ?
[05:44] <MestreLion> is there any test I can do to see if the driver or adapter is capable of 150 ?
[05:47] <hopstafarian> if just had crappy w/l reception, spanning a couple of os' on the same machine and sometimes would drop even though router was good and only slight farther away at 2 or maybe 2 1/4 meters away..) i would first check the accuracy of the router reporting (firmware maybe?) of the connection manager at the laptop...sorry man, don't know how to do that either...sooooo....sorry for taking up the screen space i guess..?
[05:48]  * hopstafarian scratches head, wonders what just happened in his own mind, and where that falls on the ballmer peak...
[05:48]  * hopstafarian shrugs
[05:49] <MestreLion> take as much screen space as you need hopstafarian , any help is welcome :D
[05:49] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, thanks...so i guess  the question was...the router is the new component, yes?
[05:50] <sacarlson> MestreLion: you might see type of wifi conection with sudo iwconfig
[05:50] <MestreLion> old router, new firmware (dd-wrt)... but i've never actually care about what connection manager said before...
[05:50] <MestreLion> this time, since i have a much more powerful router firmware, i want to do things "right"
[05:51] <jmccullough> A couple nights ago my connection manager wasn't working. I thought "hey, I'll uninstall it and reinstall it again and see if it works"
[05:51] <jmccullough> TURNS OUT
[05:51] <MestreLion> I've never noticed what speed connection manager reported before (with older, stock router firmware)
[05:51] <jmccullough> If you delete network manager, you can't apt-get :P
[05:52] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, new firmware on the router, or the bios?
[05:52] <MestreLion> router
[05:52] <damo22> jmccullough, yes you can, if you hack your wired ethernet's ip in /etc/network/interfaces
[05:52] <MestreLion> from stock (and dull) dlink firmware to the amazing (and GLP'd) dd-wrt
[05:53] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, k, so what was the average w/l output of the router before the upgrade?
[05:53] <jmccullough> damo22: Well damn, that would've saved me a lot of heartache.
[05:53] <Django_Novice> hi there
[05:53] <jmccullough> damo22: Thanks for the info!
[05:53] <jmccullough> Sup Dj :P
[05:54] <Django_Novice> is there any way i could provide password in cron job
[05:54] <MestreLion> i don't know hopstafarian ... I've never did any D/L test before...
[05:54] <drounse> does anyone know what would prevent a mobo from booting? ive enabled usb booting and it detects the flash drive and i get a "Boot Error" every time i try to boot
[05:54] <user1> hi, wireless network is not working in ubuntu 11.10
[05:54] <user1> unalbe to enable the bluetooth device
[05:54] <damo22> Django_Novice, you can set the cron job as the root user then you dont need a password because the process runs as root
[05:54] <Django_Novice> damo22: I cant set it as root user
[05:55] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, so using metrics is out of the question...
[05:55] <MestreLion> hopstafarian: I just wanted to know if ath9k is capable of 150 Mb/s speed, and if Connection Manager would report that
[05:55] <urfr332gO> drounse, was the ISO md5sumed, and how did you load the usb, and is it a flash?
[05:56] <drounse> urfr332gO yes, unetbootin and startup disk creator, and yes
[05:56] <Django_Novice> damo22: its giving me this error: no tty no askpass program specified
[05:56] <MestreLion> hopstafarian: I can use any test/metrics you suggest (not sure how would I test the actual throutput speed.. maybe dragging a 1GB file from the other PC?)
[05:57] <MestreLion> Django_Novice: AFAIK, cron jobs already run as root by default
[05:57] <urfr332gO> drounse, do you know the boot from menu prompt at powering on some are f12?
[05:57] <novatax> drounse : where did you choose boot from usb? bios or flash?
[05:57] <Abrigador> buenas
[05:57] <Django_Novice> MestreLion: so I dnt need to use sudo in cron job ????
[05:58] <drounse> urfr332gO yes, my computer its f10 but ive done that, and i have made it auto boot to usb instead of hdd
[05:58] <hopstafarian> Django_Novice, don't know, but can run root cron jobs ,or (sudo 'anyuseryouputinthesudoersfileasnotpromptingforpassword'(automatic) tasks..if the only reason is that hitches up on the password...i don't know if this is or isn't a security best practices or not...someone better versed than i will have to speak to that issue..
[05:58] <jmccullough> Silver`: I found an old wubi installation on my C drive...
[05:59] <jmccullough> Silver`:  >_> >_> >_>
[05:59] <novatax> drounse : try to change the boot order from inside bios
[05:59] <urfr332gO> drounse, have you reformatted the usb each time you reloaded?
[05:59] <MestreLion> nope Django_Novice
[05:59] <drounse> urfr332gO yes, ive tried FAT and ext4, novatax yes
[06:00] <Abrigador> alguien habla castellano?
[06:00] <MestreLion> Abrigador: serve portugues? :P
[06:00] <MestreLion> Django_Novice: but you do need sudo to ADD (or delete, edit, etc) cron jobs
[06:01] <MestreLion> but once they are set up, they already run as root
[06:01] <drounse> urfr332gO i think it is hardware related but i cant figure out whats wrong, ive taken it apart and rebuilt it three times
[06:01] <urfr332gO> drounse, fat should work, starnge it doesn't I would try another download, even if the md5sum is correct I have had ISO that would not work.
[06:01] <peterrooney> I seee on page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From_8.04_LTS_to_10.04_LTS the following worrisome note: "Renewing the Installation without formating the partitons (in contrast to upgrading), will also keep the personal data and configurations under /home but will renew all system settings under /etc as well as the default set of installed packages."
[06:01] <MestreLion> so, is anyone here still using 10.04 netbook on a wi-fi connection?
[06:01] <drounse> urfr332gO its every distro though, ive tried ubuntu server, 11.10, 10.10 ,fedora and freedos, nothing boots
[06:02] <peterrooney> worrisome because planning on moving from 8.04 LTS to 10.10 LTS
[06:03] <hopstafarian> anyone here thinking of preordering a 'cotton candy'. or got in on a raspberry pi before they sold?
[06:03] <MestreLion> drounse: how "modern" is the mobo? older mobos are a real pain to boot from USB.. some don't at all
[06:03] <damo22> hopstafarian, was tempted
[06:03] <urfr332gO> drounse, strange.
[06:03]  * hopstafarian thinks that a show of hands would suffice
[06:04] <drounse> MestreLion umm not super old its got a celeron d, ive booted a usb before, like 3 weeks ago, then something happened and now it wont boot
[06:04] <moonunitzappa> Hello, Can anyone help me. I am trying to mount an ISO but i keep getting errors, Its for a game and i need to insert the second disk, which is a iso
[06:04] <drounse> urfr332gO, yea and i cant boot freedos to update the bios
[06:04] <moonunitzappa> Ive treid gui programs and consle
[06:04] <damo22> drounse, you need to read the manual for your mainboard
[06:05] <MestreLion> drounse: have you tried booting a windows ISO ? there a free, MS-endorsed app that does it (convert from ISO to USB). This way you could at least isolate the issue (if its Linux or hardware related)
[06:05] <moonunitzappa> Also, Even though i unmounted the ISO i can still see it in my sidebar explorere thing, andi cant move it to file system
[06:05] <damo22> drounse: or try pulling cmos battery for 30 minutes and power off, then put back in and it will reset to defaults
[06:06] <drounse> damo22 no, ive never had trouble before with it, i used this mobo for the last couple of months, ive pulled the cmos baattery for a couple seconds but ill try that now
[06:06] <hopstafarian> damo22, specially the usb enabled pi...i have a use for that, in that at work, i wanna add a big screen, without paying for it to be smart (aka, more feature than i want to pay for this application, but if i can make it so 35 and it capability for expansion will far supercede either devices lifetime, i'm thinking thats a smart purchase?
[06:07] <Django_Novice> MestreLion: u need root previlges to run command in cron job
[06:08] <damo22> drounse: pwer off pull out power plug,  pull out cmos battery, turn on with no power cable attached to clear all power from capacitors
[06:08] <DocPlatypus> okay... I just updated my package list in aptitude, and now a whole bunch of things are showing up twice.
[06:08] <Django_Novice> its not working without sudo either
[06:08] <drounse> damo22 ok i just did
[06:08] <DocPlatypus> any idea what might be causing this?
[06:08] <hopstafarian> damo22, somethimes there a jumper pin to switch over/take off during that thirty secs depending on how deep of a reset...
[06:09] <damo22> true
[06:09] <MestreLion> no Django_Novice, you need root privileges to edit cron job setings (add or remove jobs).. but cron (and its jobs) already run as root
[06:09] <drounse> ok jumper pin is off
[06:09] <damo22> drounse, some mobos have cmos jumper with 3 pins and require you to short the other two
[06:10] <drounse> damo22 it has three pins, i just took the jumper off
[06:10] <damo22> drounse, you need to put it in the other position
[06:10] <damo22> drounse, then wait a few secs and put it back
[06:11] <zykotic10> drounse: damo22 is this #ubuntu or ##hardware channel?  PM maybe?
[06:11] <drounse> damo22 ok i did that
[06:11] <Django_Novice> MestreLion: no it doesnt need to as Im running cron job without root previlges
[06:11] <chiyan> how to create folder ubuntu 11.04? any one help
[06:12] <zykotic10> chiyan: from terminal? "mkdir foo"
[06:12] <urfr332gO> chiyan, right click-ctreate new folder
[06:12] <damo22> drounse, see pm
[06:12] <hopstafarian> damo22, i kinda miss the dipswitch...(though i still get to use them at work...)...i get that jumpers are more versatile...(aka 3pins, and the ability to short 2 out)..but sometimes cases are not well designed, and really hard to get to /not drop ]\fuss with excessivily...if you could combine the versatility of a jumper with the only-tool-i-need-is-a-ballpoint-ease of a dip, you might have something..
[06:13] <MestreLion> i wonder how are you doing that Django_Novice , since the cron service runs as root
[06:13] <akashv> i have an usb EVDO internet device. i want to force it to use CDMA instead of EVDO Rev A. does anyone know the way to do it?
[06:14] <Django_Novice> I run it as other user account... and it works fine unless i need to run commands that need root previlige
[06:15] <hopstafarian> Django_Novice, what command are you trying to schedule?
[06:18] <MestreLion> also, how are you scheduling?
[06:19] <jin> hi
[06:19] <jin> any body here?
[06:20] <Somefellow> Hello people, I am currently in a bit of a pickle. I had Ubuntu 11.10 installed via wubi, but I have been using Windows for the last month, and I seem to have forgotten my password now! Anybody have any idea how I could reset the whole of Ubuntu, since I haven't even really used it, I just installed it, that's why I forgot the password haha
[06:20] <Hjemmeplejen> morning all
[06:21] <jin> 14:20 here...
[06:21] <urfr332gO> Somefellow, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1041232
[06:21] <DocPlatypus> okay. I recently updated my package list in aptitude. Now, a bunch of packages show up twice, once installed, once uninstalled (or both uninstalled if I don't have it installed). Any idea how to fix this, and ideally, how could it have happened to begin with?
[06:21] <Somefellow> urfr332gO: I'll have a read of that, thanks.

[06:23] <harsh343> I have one question I have site name www.domain.com but now i want to access this website like sk.domain.com what i can do ?
[06:23] <harsh343> 	
[06:23] <harsh343> 	for example mail.google.com
[06:23] <FloodBot1> harsh343: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:23] <MestreLion> Django_Novice: and how are you schediling it?
[06:24] <urfr332gO> Somefellow, the last post has a link to the psychocats website a better explanation maybe.
[06:24] <sacarlson> DocPlatypus: like maybe you have a corrupted repository list /etc/apt/sources.list  did you manualy manipulate it?
[06:24] <Somefellow> hmm
[06:24] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I'm running Kubuntu now!!!
[06:25] <sacarlson> jmccullough: cool
[06:25] <jmccullough> sacarlson: I had to run through a series of steps and ultimately delete the volues associated with my 1TB HD
[06:25] <Somefellow> urfr332gO: Alright, this looks simple enough, I'll be back in a few minutes to let you know the result.
[06:25] <jmccullough> sacarlson: The main factor was that they were not a "Basic" disk
[06:25] <DocPlatypus> sacarlson: no... it's not that. upon further inspection, I found it may be a result of /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch containing "foreign-architecture i386" ... can I safely get rid of this and delete the i386 package lists?
[06:25] <sacarlson> harsh343: that would depend on who you have setup as your dns server and if you have a static world ip address
[06:25] <jmccullough> sacarlson: They were "dynamic", which means they were treated as RAID which is apparently a no-no
[06:25] <scientes> how do i turn off compositing in unity without logging out?
[06:26] <urfr332gO> scientes, ccsm
[06:26] <harsh343> sacarlson, how can we do that
[06:26] <DocPlatypus> maybe that's not it. but it just seems odd that this would only happen now if that's been there since January
[06:27] <sacarlson> harsh343: what is your present dns server?  option is no-ip.com
[06:27] <scientes> urfr332gO, thx
[06:27] <urfr332gO> scientes, no problem. :)
[06:27] <sacarlson> harsh343: many others,  or is it just a local lan setup no need for world access?
[06:27] <quentusrex_> Anyone able to help troubleshoot an Intel H61 no audio over hdmi issue?
[06:28] <harsh343> I purchase a domain name from jokers.com for example www.hello.com but now i want one more url like sk.hello.com
[06:29] <urfr332gO> harsh343, not really a ubuntu support issue.
[06:29] <sacarlson> harsh343: well maybe joker.com is your dns server?
[06:29] <harsh343> sacarlson, ok
[06:29] <harsh343> sacarlson, so what i can do please sugest me
[06:29] <user1> hi, how to check all hardware device in ubuntu 11.10
[06:30] <harsh343> urfr332gO, yup
[06:30] <harsh343> ok
[06:30] <scientes> urfr332gO, i've always turned off compisiting by running metacity, which selection in compiz?
[06:30] <sacarlson> harsh343: I'm clueless as you don't seem to know
[06:30] <urfr332gO> user1, check or identify?
[06:30] <bazhang> user1 sudo lshw
[06:30] <scientes> fffff, i uncheck "compisiting" and it crashes, seg fault
[06:30] <DocPlatypus> well, turns out that was it. can I safely get rid of "foreign-architecture i386" in  /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch ?
[06:30] <DocPlatypus> i.e. does that break anything?
[06:30] <urfr332gO> scientes, composite I believe
[06:30] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201649
[06:31] <urfr332gO> scientes, except that unity is a plugin in compiz.
[06:31] <harsh343> sacarlson, ok if joker.com is my dns server than ?
[06:31] <sacarlson> harsh343: I see that joker.com provides free dns services so read on there side how to set it up, each site is different
[06:32] <user1> bazhang - my bluetooth and wireless network not working in ubuntu 11.10
[06:32] <harsh343> ok
[06:32] <pokuy> harsh343, do you know what website can download a full movie
[06:32] <scientes> yeah compiz settings manager seg faults when i try to turn off compositing
[06:33] <harsh343> pokuy, I think those site have a huge server
[06:33] <Hybridsix> anyone know of a good, lightweight webkit browser to use as a fullscreen kiosk?
[06:33] <Hybridsix> besides chrome/chromium
[06:33] <Somefellow> urfr332gO: Thanks it worked! Now the annoying bit will be moving all the programs from Windows to Ubuntu...
[06:33]  * Somefellow sighs...
[06:33] <urfr332gO> scientes, I was not sure about the affect thats
[06:33] <pokuy> harsh343, ok thanks man
[06:33] <harsh343> sacarlson, is it Dynamic DNS (DynDNS)? ??
[06:33] <urfr332gO> for sure
[06:34] <hopstafarian> Django_Novice, also , if you add the line <username> ALL=NOPASSWD:[TAB] ALL into your /etc/sudoers file, in will let you run cron jobs that normally start with 'sudo' and wait for a password...but like, i say i'm no expert, and am not sure if that's a gaping security vulnerability or not..
[06:34] <urfr332gO> Somefellow, you can move the wubi to a partition, you will ahve to to remopve windows.
[06:34] <urfr332gO> have/remove
[06:34] <sacarlson> harsh343: are you running your server from home on an adsl line?  if so then yes it would require dynamic dns
[06:34] <Somefellow> No I mean setting up all the programs I usually use on Ubuntu
[06:35] <danpsy> My wireless randomly stopped working in 11.10.  It still shows the networks, but it never succesfully connects.  I've also tried resetting my router many times.  My wireless card is RTL8192SE.  How could I troubleshoot this?
[06:35] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201649
[06:36] <urfr332gO> Somefellow, you might find open source equivalents
[06:36] <sacarlson> danpsy: are the networks you attempt to connect encrypted?
[06:36] <Somefellow> I may, but configuing will be annoying as well
[06:37] <urfr332gO> Somefellow, better then trying to run wine from what I have seen, never used it, I just have a windows install for word
[06:37] <Somefellow> True
[06:37] <peterrooney> I'm reading about upgrades on the wiki, and it suggest that all your system settings shall be wiped out.  Is this correct, or am I reading it poorly?         Paragraph 2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From_8.04_LTS_to_10.04_LTS
[06:38] <hopstafarian> Django_Novice, note: [TAB] is meant to represent the actual 'tab' key, and shouldn't be carried...be VERY careful with the /etc/sudoers file...type slow, and double check your work..it's very easy to create a significant bump in the road for yourself with this one..better safe than sorry...
[06:38] <harsh343> sacarlson, I am running my website through internet
[06:38] <danpsy> sacarlson:  My wireless network requires a password (WPA), but I'm still prompted to enter my password
[06:39] <sacarlson> danpsy: so maybe the problem is the encryption,  do you have an option to temp disable your access point encryption and see if it works then?
[06:39] <sacarlson> harsh343: through the internet but how do you connect to the intenet?  adsl?  static ip?
[06:40] <danpsy> sacarlson:  Thanks!  I actually reset my password and it's working now.
[06:40] <m477> hi I would like to set start position of each new window, how can I do that?
[06:40] <sacarlson> danpsy: very good
[06:40] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201649
[06:40] <harsh343> sacarlson, I think we move from my question, My question is just how to create such domain like mail.google.com
[06:41] <sacarlson> harsh343: sites normaly reside in appache2,  if route already exist
[06:42] <chachin> wof
[06:43] <harsh343> sacarlson, so if i have an website www.love.com and i want one more url like sk.love.com, i purchase domain name from jokers.com
[06:43] <chachin> harsh343 you can own anything you want as long as you own domain.com or whatever other .xxx u know whatever i mean
[06:44] <sacarlson> harsh343: I assume you purchased *.love.com  and you can setup routes on all of them to a single apache2 server that bring different virtual sites
[06:44] <chachin> like you want your own IRC  server.  you would do irc.domain.com you own domain.com and you can make it omg.domain.com anytime just gotta pont omg. to domain.com
[06:45] <harsh343> chachin, from where i can point
[06:45] <harsh343> ?
[06:45] <Somefellow> From where did you buy your domain?
[06:45] <harsh343> Somefellow, joker.com
[06:46] <Canadian1296> harsh343: Are you asking how to point something.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com?
[06:46] <chachin> go look for web-hosting
[06:46] <chachin> Canadian1296 yes he is
[06:46] <harsh343> Canadian1296, yes
[06:46] <sacarlson> harsh343: the routes are setup at the dns .. that points to each or one virtual apache2 server
[06:46] <Canadian1296> chachin harsh343: k I just joined.
[06:47] <cntb> hello. Just finished reading http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/939 ->  Introducing the HUD. Say hello to the future of the menu.Any opinions? Or whereelse is there a dedicated channel for OPinions and dev on HUD
[06:47] <harsh343> Canadian1296, but i want o use both  something.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com
[06:47] <harsh343> to*
[06:47] <chachin> i wonder if i post my IRC server FloodBot1 or 2 or 3 would kick me for that :s
[06:47] <jmccullough> exit
[06:48] <chachin> lol wtf was that just now
[06:48] <chachin> he said exit and quit xD
[06:48] <Canadian1296> harsh343: You need to find set up your dns server to point both to your ip address. Then set up virtualhosts in apache. Just ask if you need help with any of that :)
[06:48] <chachin> he needs web-hosting
[06:49] <Canadian1296> chachin: Ah I see.
[06:49] <harsh343> Canadian1296, ok i am trying to do that,thanks
[06:49] <Canadian1296> harsh343: Do you have your own server at home?
[06:50] <harsh343> Canadian1296, I purchase domain from joker.com
[06:51] <Canadian1296> harsh343: Ill take that as a no. You need a domain name (you already got this), and a hosting plan (you need this). The hosting plan lets you upload your site so people can go to it.
[06:52] <chachin> joker.com sounds like: "thanks for your money: WHY SO SERIOUS"
[06:52] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201649
[06:52] <user2012> anyone completely removed os x and installed only ubuntu on a mac? any noticed ubuntu using more cpu %
[06:52] <harsh343> Canadian1296, i have both
[06:52] <harsh343> right now my website is running
[06:52] <harsh343> lexample love.com is running
[06:52] <harsh343> now i want to use sk.love.com also
[06:52] <chachin> irc.silentzombies.com +6697 6667 #SilentZombies-Help
[06:52] <chachin> woops
[06:53] <shivam7074> why no one is replying to me???
[06:53] <cntb> rather sleepy here cu l8r
[06:53] <chachin> i remember when this channel once had 5000+ users
[06:53] <hopstafarian> shivam7074, sorry, what was the question?
[06:54] <Canadian1296> harsh343: Okay, what domain did you buy?
[06:54] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201649
[06:54] <harsh343> Canadian1296, its private but for xample www.harshutech.com
[06:54] <bazhang> shivam7074, whats the issue
[06:55] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201649
[06:55] <harsh343> now i want to acces like sk.harshutech.com
[06:55] <bazhang> shivam7074, some context please?
[06:55] <harsh343> Canadian1296, I know that we need domain+hosting both and i have both
[06:56] <shivam7074> when i play songs in bansee it hangs n not play
[06:56] <hopstafarian> shivam7074, my dumb ass is still lost...in this case i think maybe a word is worth a thousand pictures?
[06:56] <bazhang> shivam7074, and in other music players too?
[06:56] <hopstafarian> shivam7074, it stopped working, or newly installed and never worked?
[06:56] <sacarlson> harsh343: for me that site resloves to ;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)
[06:57] <shivam7074> sometimes work sorry got to go later i cu thanx
[06:57] <chachin> why nobody join my irc :(
[06:58] <Canadian1296> harsh343: Then PM me the name so I can look. What is the registrar and host?
[06:58] <Canadian1296> chachin: I will if you tell me what it is :)
[06:58] <UidX> is there anyway to fake navigator.platform?
[06:58] <harsh343> Canadian1296, ok see this is my website http://www.appsmyth.com/ and i want to access like this http://sk.appsmyth.com/
[06:58] <sacarlson> harsh343: maybe before you try to setup two sites you should try to get one to work
 irc.silentzombies.com +6697 6667 #SilentZombies-Help
[06:59] <bazhang> chachin, dont advertise here, thanks
[06:59] <chachin> nou
[06:59] <bazhang> chachin, pardon?
[06:59] <chachin> lol
[06:59] <chachin> bazhang u haz +o power?
[06:59] <chachin> else ill stop :S
[07:00] <chachin> zomg a wild paypal has appeard
[07:00] <bazhang> !ot > chachin
[07:00] <chachin> paypal you cannot haz my monies
[07:00] <bazhang> chachin, thats enough
[07:00] <chachin> huh
[07:00] <chachin> wow
[07:01] <moonunitzappa> how can i find out where my iso is mounted?
[07:01] <moonunitzappa> I see it in explorer
[07:01] <hopstafarian> wow?
[07:01] <lwizardl> which app should I use to take a iso/wav/cue disc image and create a single iso
[07:02] <sacarlson> harsh343: ok that is resolveing to 174.36.159.40  but only www.appsmyth.com resolves to that address so you will need to look at your dns at joker.com
[07:03] <moonunitzappa> Also, when i try and mount it via some GUI app it says file is not an iso
[07:03] <sacarlson> harsh343: AFTER you can resolve *.appsmyth.com  to that same address you can look at #appache2 to see how to setup more virtual servers
[07:03] <moonunitzappa> and when i check props of iso it says raw img.  Thats a iso amirite?
[07:04] <aithox> hello.. my graphic driver is activated but still on 2 D view
[07:04] <Canadian1296> harsh343 sacarlson: chances are you transferred to domain to the host, so go your hosts admin page and look for "subdomains"
[07:04] <urfr332gO> aithox, did you reboot and choose the 3d at login?
[07:04] <aithox> yeah..
[07:06] <harsh343> Canadian1296, sacarlson t #appache2 to see how to setup more virtual servers or "subdomains" ????????????
[07:06] <aithox> when i run Nvidia sever setting it say " you do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver.. please run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root.. but i won't get the GUI login after doing this...
[07:07] <sacarlson> harsh343: each subdomain can be setup to point to a different virtual server in apache2
[07:07] <sacarlson> harsh343: but only AFTER you have a route to them
[07:07] <harsh343> from where i got  virtual server in apache2 ????????
[07:08] <Canadian1296> sacarlson: He isn't on his own server, he's using a hosting plan. Therefore he cannot access apache config
[07:09] <sacarlson> Canadian1296: oh then why is  harsh343 here?  he never provided that info or I misted it
[07:10] <moonunitzappa> Can anyone tell me how i can move 2 7gig iso files to my windows partition>?
[07:10] <moonunitzappa> can move it to ext usb to big
[07:10] <moonunitzappa> cant*
[07:10] <aithox> samba
[07:10] <aithox> :P
[07:10] <urfr332gO> moonunitzappa, 27 or 2.7 gig?
[07:11] <sacarlson> moonunitzappa: drag and drop?  if both partitions are mounted
[07:11] <moonunitzappa> 14 gig totoal
[07:11] <moonunitzappa> split in 2
[07:11] <petsounds> aithox: which nvidia card?
[07:11] <moonunitzappa> it failed drag and drop
[07:11] <moonunitzappa> said it was to large
[07:11] <moonunitzappa> forget what its formatted as
[07:12] <aithox> geforce GT 520M
[07:12] <harsh343> sacarlson, what i can do then ?
[07:12] <moonunitzappa> works with my xbox and widnwos
[07:12] <Canadian1296> sacarlson: Yeah, he thinks he can use apache but he cant, that's why you missed it. He wants a subdomain for his domain, but that has to be done with the host. I don't even know what hosting plan he used cause he hasn't told me (I've asked)
[07:12] <chachin> sorry man ill stop and idle for my own help :s was just saying  if you did have powers i was going to stop. anyways im sorry if i made any troubles :(
[07:12] <drounse> how would i change terminals in xubuntu, i prefer gnome-terminal, but i cannot use it other than typing gnome-terminal into the xfce terminal
[07:12] <sacarlson> moonunitzappa: oh in windows there are file size limits so not sure what you can do there
[07:12] <moonunitzappa> its the filetype that has the limit
[07:12] <moonunitzappa> i just forget what the universial one is that doesnt hve a limit, that i can use on ubuntu and windows
[07:13] <moonunitzappa> i dont even wantto use windwos, but i cant seemto mount this ISO corectly
[07:13] <urfr332gO> moonunitzappa, ntfs
[07:13] <sacarlson> moonunitzappa: on windows ntfs shouldn't have file size limits that small but fat file system does
[07:14] <harsh343> sacarlson, please give me suggestion
[07:14] <sacarlson> harsh343: I was told your not running a ubuntu server so what can I do?
[07:14] <Vermicelli> For some reason /home is opening in thunar at login (running xubuntu). What can I do to fix this?
[07:15] <sacarlson> harsh343: http://thinkingnectar.com/2008/getting-ubuntu-to-work-creating-subdomain-in-localhost/
[07:16] <moonunitzappa> How can i add a new partion to my external usb drive?
[07:16] <infernal> Hello. Does anyone have any idea  why isn't my phpMyAdmin working? just installed apache, php and sql
[07:16] <moonunitzappa> without earasing it
[07:17] <sacarlson> moonunitzappa: why not skip the usb and copy it direct to windows?
[07:17] <Canadian1296> harsh343: What hosting plan did you get?
[07:17] <infernal> moonunitzappa: try a soft called gparted
[07:17] <moonunitzappa> good idea
[07:18] <sacarlson> moonunitzappa: infernal: I concure
[07:19] <infernal> Any ideas on the phpMyAdmin?
[07:19] <sacarlson> infernal: not working by trying to goto http:localhost/phpmyadmin ?
[07:19] <sacarlson> opps
[07:19] <infernal> yes, basicly everything is freshly installed and it just wont respond
[07:19] <Canadian1296> http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[07:19] <sacarlson> Canadian1296: ya that one
[07:20] <Canadian1296> infernal: Restart everything (service name restart)
[07:20] <moonunitzappa> can i get to my windwos trash and empty it from ubuntu?
[07:20] <infernal> well this is embarasing
[07:21]  * hopstafarian thinks that gparted is the grep of storage management..rock*on...lambert and queen...? guessing that either kinda cool, or one of the hugest disappointments ever...reading the news today, and thinking that we should just all agree to remove the word 'gunman' from our autocorrect dictionaries...?...why is that even in there in the first place!?
[07:21] <sacarlson> infernal: why did that work?
[07:21] <Canadian1296> infernal: What is? :P
[07:21] <MestreLion> question: I have 2 wi-fi APs at home, bedroom and living room. They are set with same SSID, same password, but different channels. there is a little overlap is coverage. Is there anyway for Ubuntu NOT to drop the connection and switch from one AP to another seamlessly?
[07:22] <infernal> well ye, i tough it was case insesitive :) i used to type phpMyAdmin from my windows machine on xamp
[07:22] <sacarlson> infernal: I guess you could make it so both worked but save that for another day
[07:23] <MestreLion> infernal: apache can be configured to be case-insensitive for URLs
[07:23] <Canadian1296> infernal: Haha its alright, the only reason I suggested to restart everything is because that has tripped me up numerous times. We all make silly mistakes :P
[07:23] <Muser> Hello! I just installed Ubuntu Precise beta1 on my X220 Tablet. xinput --list lists Wacom stylus, touch and eraser, but only touch works. What could be the cause?
[07:23] <MestreLion> Muser: for 10.04, try #ubuntu+1
[07:23] <MestreLion> 12.04*
[07:23] <Muser> MestreLion: ok, joining
[07:24] <MestreLion> so, guys, any tips and hints on what do I need to configure for seamless AP switching?
[07:24] <Muser> thanks for the tip :)
[07:24] <MestreLion> yw Muser ;)
[07:26] <hopstafarian> Muser, what is X220, please...
[07:26] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: You should be able to just join both, then ubuntu will pick whichever is a stronger signal.
[07:26] <infernal> well ye thx guys, i'm off to work ;)
[07:27] <MestreLion> Canadian1296: but will it switch from one to the other when i move across rooms?
[07:27] <hopstafarian> infernal; work [*sigh]...how i envy you...can hardly wait the 3 hours before i 'get' to do that myself...njoy
[07:27] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: No, why would you need it to?
[07:28] <moonunitzappa> ok well somehow by dragging and dropping the ISO files to my windows drive they dissaperd?
[07:28] <moonunitzappa> not in my trash
[07:28] <moonunitzappa> or in my ubuntu or iwndows fodler
[07:28] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: It has no way of knowing which room you are in, since both access points are available in both rooms.
[07:28] <MestreLion> Canadian1296: because i want wireless access all over my house... i need 2 APs for that, 1 alone is not strong enough to cover all rooms
[07:29] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: Them spread them out, and if it loses signal from one it'll connect to the other :)
[07:29] <MestreLion> no, they are not available in both rooms... although there is a little overlap mid-way
[07:30] <hopstafarian> Canadian1296, should switch [relatively] seamlessly though....maybe the problem is at the receiving end?
[07:30] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: Well then if you want it seamless you need one main access point in the middle, with two extenders. Instead of two access points.
[07:30] <Canadian1296> They just rebroadcast the main point so its bail able all over the house.
[07:30] <sacarlson> MestreLion: yes I think that's built into wifi that you can roam and it will auto connect to the better signal of the same named network
[07:30] <MestreLion> they are already spreaded out, one in each side of my house... but i don't want the conenction to drop (downloads are getting interrupted when it picks another AP)
[07:31] <ubuntu> adsf
[07:31] <ubuntu> sdf
[07:31] <ubuntu> sdf
[07:31] <ubuntu> sdf
[07:31] <FloodBot1> ubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:32] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: Although I must ask, how big is your house? I can connect to my AP for over a block down my street!
[07:32] <hopstafarian> Canadian1296, so ap #1 is your main wireless router, and ap #2 is just a bridged mode ap with no DHCP?...thinking that the ip changeover is the holdup?
[07:32] <MestreLion> Canadian1296: not very big, but lots of rooms and walls... a single wifi router is not enough
[07:33] <Canadian1296> hopstafarian: Its cause he has two different wifi networks. It has to drop one to connect to the other. You need to get one network, and then extend it, instead of making two. Seamless switching since both are the same network.
[07:33] <hopstafarian> Canadian1296, agreed...
[07:33] <MestreLion> yes hopstafarian ... #1 @ living room is the main router... #2 is for bedroom, DHCP disabled, and its wired to #1...
[07:34] <MestreLion> no Canadian1296... iwant it to be the same wifi network... router #2 is set to "AP mode"...
[07:34] <wylde> MestreLion, with two separate AP's you'll be disconnected from one while the other connects regardless.
[07:35] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, so if dhcp switchover is not the issue then you're sure they're on the same scheme and subnet?
[07:35] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: The second one should be set to "extend existing network"
[07:36] <MestreLion> the second one is *wired* to the 1st... with all router functions disabled... just being used as a hub.. and also for extended wireless coverage
[07:37] <wylde> you will still end up disconnecting and reconnecting during the changeover from one AP to the next
[07:37] <MestreLion> kinda like this:   ((( #1 [07:38] <MestreLion> wylde: is there any way to set #2 so they act as a single network?
[07:38] <hopstafarian> wylde, agreed, do this all the time, and never have a holdup, even with channel switching...the only time it has been a problem is when i pass through a dropoff in the signal overlap...strong signal in wl networking is what my dad always told me about pilots...fuel = brains...
[07:38] <Muser> hmm, #ubuntu+1 seems to be about dead :(
[07:38] <wylde> MestreLion, I would think you need an extender and not a second AP
[07:39] <Canadian1296> ^^
[07:39] <Muser> hopstafarian: whoops, X220 == ThinkPad X220
[07:39] <wylde> As soon as you disconnect from one ap your wifi card has to start the whole connection process over again, even if only one AP is acting as dhscp
[07:39] <MestreLion> but extenders communicate via wireless correct? i think this would be a huge performance hit.
[07:39] <wylde> dhcp*
[07:40] <MestreLion> both #1 and #2 are cheap DLink home routers
[07:40] <wylde> MestreLion, only way I can think of for you to get the behaviour you want
[07:40] <sacarlson> MestreLion: yes wired between nodes is better
[07:41] <wylde> MestreLion, yes wired is always better :)
[07:41] <MestreLion> no way to make the routers communicate using the existing wired connection between the 2?
[07:41] <sacarlson> MestreLion: wylde: as long as he puts the same id name in each it will just be an extended network
[07:41] <Canadian1296> No it won't
[07:41] <hopstafarian> Muser, oh..thought that maybe that was a tablet  or "tablet"...ibm makes a good machine, though "really, still with the pencil eraser instead of a mouse!!" ..other than a lack of aesthetics, pretty much my onlly complaint...still, i love my sony VAIO...
[07:42] <wylde> sacarlson, yes but he has to restrt the entire connection process to switch AP's
[07:42] <Canadian1296> They're on different channels
[07:42] <sacarlson> wylde: not it will auto roam and switch when needed
[07:42] <sacarlson> wylde: unless you custom setup to attache to the mac address a a wanted node
[07:43] <Muser> hopstafarian: yep, ThinkPads are about the nicest machines I have ever owned. + now with new kernel I get just a bit shittier battery life than I would with Windows (it used to be 50% reduction or so just a few years ago)
[07:43] <MestreLion> it is swiching already... automatically... but existing connections are dropped
[07:43] <wylde> sacarlson, yes it will, however you still get disconnected from one network while you switch to the other
[07:43] <hopstafarian> wow, whole lotta networking competents up in here...liking it...so anyone here experienced with BeoWulf Clusters?
[07:43] <wylde> you have at least a few seconds of no network connection while you connect to the second AP
[07:43] <sacarlson> wylde: sure but invislbe for the most part on the client side
[07:44] <MestreLion> wylde: its less than seconds actually... but it's enough for my downloads to interrup and i need to resume them
[07:44] <wylde> sacarlson, if you are downloading or streaming it will drop that connection
[07:45] <sacarlson> wylde: well if your streaming maybe you won't be carrying your computer from upstairs to down to make it reconect
[07:45] <wylde> MestreLion,  exactly. So that's why you need to extend your primary wifi network rather than use 2 separate APs
[07:45] <MestreLion> since there is some overlapping in coverage while im mid-way, the "recconection" is almost instaly...
[07:45] <wylde> sacarlson, that seems to be exatly what MestreLion is wanting to do
[07:46] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, oh crap, if the switchover is that quick and its just the browser that is hitching th dls...that eff it, and jsut get proficient at wget on the cli?
[07:46] <MestreLion> yes... sometimes i need to move from bedroom to dining room... I dont want my downloads to get interrupted
[07:46] <MestreLion> or skype calls, etc
[07:46] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: Then you need a more powerful AP that covers your whole house
[07:47] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, wget is pretty robust when it comes to resuming a dl?
[07:47] <wylde> MestreLion, no matter what you will have that happen using separate APs. I'm sure if you searched you might find a wired range extender
[07:47] <MestreLion> I can resume downloads, but that's not the point
[07:47] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, i know, but in the meantime...
[07:47] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, just saying..
[07:47] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: You either need an extender or a more powerful ap. end of story
[07:48] <stephans_> Ok so I originally asked about a bunch of stuff regarding memory and performance... havin suffered really slow and unresponsiveness of my system even at a real mem use of only 60%. I have solved the problem with the help on thins chat. vm.swappiness = 10
[07:48] <MestreLion> so there's no way to achieve that "semless roaming" using 2 not-so-powerful APs ?
[07:48] <stephans_> the system is now at 80% mem and still responsive
[07:48] <wylde> MestreLion, I'd say no
[07:48] <stephans_> still wakes from sleep
[07:48] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: No
[07:49] <MestreLion> stephans_: you can even set it to 0 if you sure your physical RAM is enough for all your need... swap will only be used for hibernate
[07:50] <MestreLion> Canadian1296: and what exactly is an extender?
[07:50] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: It simply rebroadcasts an existing network instead of making a new one
[07:51] <MestreLion> but that "rebroadcasting" communication between the 2 can't be done wired?
[07:52] <JermBob> whats the best most secure httpd for ubuntu
[07:52] <JermBob> ?
[07:52] <MestreLion> because from bedroom I can barely "see" the living room signal... it's very very poor
[07:52] <wylde> MestreLion, I've even built a "cantenna" that gave me a 35% signal gain over a store bought 7 dbm gain antenna
[07:53] <MestreLion> so I think the extender would suffer the same problem
[07:53] <wylde> *dB not dbm
[07:53] <sacarlson> MestreLion: I think I have seen like infrastructure mode in at least one of my access point but I never have more than one active to play with it
[07:54] <JermBob> ??
[07:55] <MestreLion> JermBob: Apache2 not secure enough?
[07:55] <JermBob> yup
[07:55] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, i'm no expert, but i run a relatively seamless 'roam' enterprise over a large 20K+ environs ...grocery store w/ stationary w/l scale tech, roaming rf handheld devices, various(unpredictable) mobile devices and laptops...all seems to work as close to seamlessly as  possible (never had a complaint, and i'm the only one to complain to, so pretty sure that it's not happening, or i know some pretty passive aggresive individuals...) and from that exp
[07:55] <hopstafarian> erience have to say this " the only fails that i've had, are when I failed to get OCD with the physical placement...)(everything else being equal, and that i didn't miss something on the software/firmware/config side of things...
[07:55] <JermBob> just thought there may be better and smaller footprinted ones around now
[07:55] <JermBob> apache was my choice a while ago
[07:56] <JermBob> thanks
[07:57] <MestreLion> JermBob: try Nginx
[07:59] <MestreLion> well, thanks guys for all the help
[08:01] <hopstafarian> we even run two segmented networks (public and private) off the same (wah-waaugh) copper adsl pair, and still experience relatively few bottlenecks...really the only complaints come from where i effed up on the overlap, or failed to consider a structure, device (or failed to consider the reception limitations of the types of device that are most commonly used in that area...
[08:01] <MestreLion> i'm a bit disappointed that this can't be done with 2 wired "cheapo" wifi routers, but i can live with that then... a more powerful AP would cost like 5 times as much, and would need to placed mid-way (wich would be the batherrom or the aisle, not great places for an AP to be :P
[08:01] <hopstafarian> signal=fuel=brains
[08:02] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, my point, was i think it can be, but you might have to reconsider placement...
[08:02] <hopstafarian> ?
[08:03] <Wi1d> \/c
[08:03] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, but then again, i'm considered kindof a tard by my peers..aka: people that actually know whats up...
[08:06] <MestreLion> i'm open to any suggestions hopstafarian... the scenario is: the 2 places i want coverage are like 15~20m apart, with lots of walls between. each of my current routers cover each area just fine (dinner table is 3m apart from #1, my bed is like 2m apart from #2). #1 and #2 routers are conneted to each other via lan cable (since they can't "see" each other via wireless)
[08:07] <Canadian1296> Sounds like you need a better AP
[08:11] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, what i usually do at this point, is build a scale model...either physically, or virtually...and i move shit around until it looks right, then i use the signal testing equip that i can get me hands on, to refine/debunk that preconception...if you have a smartphone, there are plenty of apps that will test and log your signal strength...
[08:13] <MestreLion> Canadian1296: a better AP (linksys, 2 antennas, etc) here in Brazil costs like 300, while a cheap dlink cost 70 each (and I already have 2 of them)
[08:14] <cpruitt> I've got a server down right now and am completely confused.  Apache won't start and throws "Syntax error on line 204 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/fcgid.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[08:14] <hopstafarian> then map out the weak areas, and move your model around until the weak areas are either eliminated or the negative effects of those weak areas are ameliorated as much as you experience will allow....once again, kinda an idiot, probably should do the opposite of what i propose...
[08:14] <cpruitt> fcgi worked fine up until now.  Just got a page in the middle of the night
[08:15] <cpruitt> can anyone tip me off on what / how to check or reinstall fcgi?  I'm really not a sysadmin guy but ended up needing to handle this

[08:16] <gj> howto "inject" own scripts into the workflow of the Network Manager? I have to wake up a gateway server just before starting the dhcpcd.

[08:17] <saju_m> i want to copy a block device (/dev/blabla) from remote server. For that i have to 'DD' that block device, then 'tar' it then, copy via 'scp'. How it in one command or one step. I want to create a script and run on remote server. I also want to do sparse.

[08:18] <amrik> in general, where are the super-* key bindings managed?

[08:24] <tryx> hi guys, I'm having a really weird graphics issue with server LTS
[08:24] <tryx> the first 3 columns of my console are cut off
[08:24] <tryx> no X, direct framebuffer
[08:25] <bazhang> shivam7074, what about with other music players
[08:26] <ronalde> Dutch users have a serious bug (#938904) in unity-lens-video because single quotes don't get escaped. Because of the visibility of the Video Lens this is a real serious bug for Dutch users. Unfortunaltely the mentioned bug (to which I attached a simple patch) is marked as a duplicate of #936141 which is unaccessable (marked a private). What to do?
[08:27] <shivam7074> i m a new user is there any other music players also???
[08:27] <bazhang> !players | shivam7074 take your choice
[08:27] <bazhang> bug #938902
[08:27] <shivam7074> i hav to download???
[08:27] <bazhang> whoops
[08:28] <bazhang> !software | shivam7074 yes here is how
[08:28] <bazhang> bug #938904
[08:29] <bazhang> bug #936141
[08:29] <ronalde> #936141 is marked private (I've never seen this before)?
[08:29] <bazhang> ronalde, seems not private, but does not exist
[08:30] <ronalde> bazhang, o it's deleted?
[08:30] <bazhang> perhaps we have to file a bug against launchpad
[08:30] <ronalde> (that's a creative way to get releases out ;)
[08:31] <bazhang> ronalde, affects all users correct? not just Dutch users
[08:31] <ronalde> bazhang, all users who happen to have single quotes in path names
[08:31] <bazhang> ronalde, is this in 11.10?
[08:31] <ronalde> 12.04
[08:31] <auronandace> !12.04 | ronalde
[08:31] <ronalde> unity-lens-video 0.3-0ubuntu1
[08:31] <bazhang> ah okay 12.04 is in #ubuntu+1 ronalde
[08:32] <ronalde> bazhang, thanks... will try there
[08:32] <madeline> has anyone tried the gma 3150 chipset with 12.04 beta 1? any improvements
[08:32] <bazhang> madeline, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04
[08:36] <Razer> I put Ubuntu on a thumb drive without the knowledge my BIOS doesn't support launching from a USB 2.0, how do I safely clear my thumb drive so I can use it normally?
[08:36] <tryx> razer: just reformat it and it should be fine
[08:37] <Razer> tryx, while I'm at it, I hear it's possible to reserve 2 gigs of space on the thumb drive as virtual ram? How do I do that?
[08:37] <Razer> (I'm using Vista, btw)
[08:38] <tryx> when you insert it, it should ask you what you want to do with it
[08:38] <tryx> one of the options is something like speedstart (I forget the exact name of the tech)
[08:38] <tryx> select that
[08:38] <auronandace> Razer: windows help is in ##windows

[09:15] <Saalko> Hi there. I installed bumblebee. (I hope it works ^^) but I don't know how to start an application. I don't understand the bumblebee help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee can please say someone what did I need to say in the terminal? I wanna run the appilcation with: "./imprudence" and how I can say bumblebee it shall use my grafic ship in this application?
[09:15] <kali1> Not in laptop speakers
[09:17] <dr_willis> Saalko:  somthing like /path/to/thecommand depending on the tool
[09:18] <Saalko> I am in the path. I can run the application with: "./imprudence" but it's slow, because he uses my GPU as grafik chip. The help page says I shall run in this form:
[09:18] <Saalko> $ optirun [options] <application> [application-parameters]
[09:18] <dr_willis> Saalko: if it's in the current directory then  ./whatevet is a shortcut for the full. path
[09:19] <Saalko> but I don't know which of thm variables and what I shall type in instead of the variables.
[09:19] <Saalko> Yes the problem is. he just run the application. but without bumblebee.
[09:19] <dr_willis> optirun programname.      perhaps
[09:20] <Saalko> (bumblebee enables my grafic ship. without my grafik ship. it's very very slow.
[09:20] <dr_willis> there is a bumblebee Channel i tbink
[09:21] <Saalko> ah optirun ./impudence was the right command.
[09:21] <Saalko> okay thanks. but there's still an error. sighs. but I'll go on asking in bumblebee channel. But it seems everyone there is asleep ^^
[09:21] <Saalko> thanks all

[09:22] <MagePsycho> guys anyone know how to unzip from url.. i eman tar -zxvf http://some-url/file.tar.gz
[09:23] <dr_willis> MagePsycho:  use wget to get the file and a pipe. perhaps
[09:23] <kali1> dr_willis: sound is not coming from laptop speakers but working properly in Headphones , I am using UBuntu 10.04
[09:23] <DeltaSaucer> Have I gone insane, or does Ubuntu not have a "reboot" feature? Just shut down, hibernate, etc.?
[09:23] <dr_willis> i rarely mess with sound issues.
[09:23] <MagePsycho> dr_willis: why i am doing is that i have gb of tar file and i have very limited space in my server
[09:24] <MagePsycho> dr_willis: will that download the tar file in our server?
[09:24] <aithox> hi.. i've an executable flashPlayer how can i make it default player for flash.swf??
[09:24] <bluefrog> DeltaSaucer, reboot option is shown once you hit shutdown
[09:24] <dr_willis> kali1:  i see variants of thar question all the time. may be threads on it un the forums and askubuntu.com
[09:24] <aithox> in older version of ubuntu i can run with custom commands
[09:25] <dr_willis> MagePsycho:  no idea how much space that pipeing would use
[09:25] <ali_> what  can i do to upgrade my os

[09:52] <hansisolo> Crat_OS, if you are unsure how to upgrade, beta and release candidates might not be appropiate to you.
[09:53] <Crat_OS> I should of just stuck to 10.04
[09:53] <Crat_OS> nothing seems ot work on 11.10
[09:53] <Richard_Cavell> I stuck to 10.04
[09:53] <ikonia> Crat_OS: ok, install 10.04 then
[09:53] <Richard_Cavell> don't regret it at all
[09:54] <Crat_OS> ^ everything seems to work better.. is 11.10 just a 'toy' for lack of better words?
[09:54] <melvincv> I downgraded to 11.04
[09:54] <ikonia> Crat_OS: stop ranting
[09:54] <ikonia> Crat_OS: if you feel 10.04 is better for you, I suggest using 10.04
[09:55] <Crat_OS> ikonia: stop suggesting the obvious
[09:55] <ikonia> Crat_OS: it's clearly not obvious or you would have done it
[09:55] <maum> I cannot hear sound when screensaver activated
[09:55] <Crat_OS> If you have nothing thats not informative then don
[09:56] <ikonia> Crat_OS: you've not asked for information, just ranted, which is why I'm telling you to stop please.
[09:56] <Crat_OS> don't say anything at all..
[09:56] <ikonia> Crat_OS: if you want a solution, and you've found 10.04 is better for you, it genuinly may be better downgrading to 10.04, while waiting to see how 12.04 works out (in terms of your needs)
[09:56] <ubi_> should i check "caonical partners" box in software sources?
[09:56] <Crat_OS> ikonia: and your just being a douche which is why im telling you politely to stfu
[09:57] <ubi_> should i check "caonical partners" box in software sources will then i be able to install .run graphics driver
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: that has nothing to do with .run file
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: .run files are files on your local file system, nothing to do with repos
[09:58] <ubi_> why can't i run .run file
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: what are you trying to install ?
[09:58] <ubi_> it's my graphic driver
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: ok what video card do you have ?
[09:58] <ubi_> ati radeon hd 3200
[09:59] <ubi_> for aptop
[09:59] <ikonia> ubi_: ok, have you tried the ati drivers provided by the ubuntu hardware drivers tool ?
[09:59] <ubi_> yes i did, both of them, but one shows error while installing, the other just dont work after installed, graphics is choppy
[10:00] <hiexpo> hola
[10:00] <ikonia> ubi_: ok, so have you looked at if your card is supported in Linux, and if so what driver "versions" you need ?
[10:00] <ubi_> catalysts 11.11 i think, let me check
[10:01] <hack_> hyy ubi
[10:01] <ikonia> ubi_: worth checking, it's important not to put random "wrong" stuff on your sytem, especially when provided by binary files
[10:01] <ubi_> AMD Catalyst™ 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver
[10:02] <ikonia> ubi_: ok, so have you looked at what version is in the ubuntu repo ?
[10:02] <ubi_> how can i do that
[10:02] <ubi_> in software sorces?
[10:02] <ikonia> ubi_: look in the package manager what version is available
[10:02] <ubi_> aha ok
[10:03] <ikonia> ubi_: no point putting something else on the system until you know what your dealing with
[10:03] <ubi_> where is package manager :)
[10:03] <ikonia> ubi_: software center
[10:03] <ubi_> ok...
[10:08] <hack_> hyy ubi
[10:08] <ubi_> hi
[10:09] <mnk0> if my box has a kernel panic
[10:09] <mnk0> where are the logs?
[10:09] <ikonia> on screen
[10:09] <mnk0> is there anychance it writes to syslog
[10:10] <ikonia> no
[10:10] <mnk0> shitz
[10:10] <mnk0> trying to do investigation on root cause
[10:10] <ikonia> no need for that
[10:10] <mnk0> well would be nice
[10:10] <mnk0> to know
[10:10] <ubi_> i have ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphic driver in "additional drivers" but it wont work when i activate it
[10:10] <ikonia> if you have to swear, don't use the channel,
[10:10] <ikonia> ubi_: ranting about it won't change anything - getting the information I suggested, will
[10:11] <ubi_> im trying to find it! :)
[10:12] <TA5K> Hi, the standard Backup tool does it incremental backups? Or how does ist store data? If the backup medium is low on space what happens?
[10:13] <kbotnen> hi, Im trying to use pklocalauthority to let users authenticate themself for the software center. but do the org.debian.apt.policy override the pklocal?
[10:16] <ubi_> i searched all software center top to down and i cant find anything named package manager :3
[10:16] <ikonia> ubi_: software center IS the package manager
[10:16] <ubi_> oh lol let me check version
[10:18] <ubi_> yay i find it software-center 5.0.4
[10:18] <ikonia> ubi_: not the software center version !!! the ati driver version
[10:18] <ubi_> oh let me check
[10:18] <ikonia> use some common sense, why do we care about the package manager version
[10:19] <ikonia> ubi_: I asked you to check the ati modules versions, to confirm what version ubuntu wanted to install, why do you care about the software center version
[10:19] <ikonia> think about what you are doing
[10:20] <ubi_> idk, im new to ubuntu, i dont understand yet how things work
[10:21] <hroi> hi,
[10:21] <ubi_> looks like there is no ati drivers in software center
[10:21] <ikonia> ubi_: there will be,
[10:21] <ikonia> ubi_: that's why you see them in the hardware drivers tool
[10:21] <ubi_> yes
[10:22] <ubuxubu> does anyone know how to install the online game 2nd life in ubuntu
[10:23] <ubi_> i found in software center ati binary Xorg drver fglrx 2:8.881-0ubuntu4.1 is that it
[10:23] <velko> ubuxubu, i did this a couple of year ago. iirc you just download the archive from their web site, decompress it and run the supplied binary from it. nothing to do at all
[10:24] <ikonia> ubi_: interesting, I can't see how that version number releates
[10:24] <juanchi> hii, im trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a PowerBook G4 powerpc! the live cd doesnt detect my hard drive at all, the syslogs complains about "module i82365 not found", btw the HD is a Hitachi ATA/IDE... other livecd's detects the HD just fine.. I guess im missing some module
[10:25] <ubi_> my additional drivers shows me no number, just ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver
[10:26] <ikonia> ubi_: The version number should be in the package manager, but it doesn't seem to relate to the version numbers from ati (that I can see)
[10:27] <ubiguy> how do i install i386 libs for amd64 ver of lubuntu?
[10:27]  * Hybridsix Client Disconnected - Bounced Out
[10:28]  * ubiguy Client Disconnected - AIDS
[10:28] <Myrtti> !away > Hybridsix
[10:28] <ubi_> right now i have graphic driver:unknows, expirience:standard
[10:30] <ubi_> but when i tried ubuntu from usb stick, before installing it, it worked fine
[10:30] <ubiguy> -----> how do i install i386 libs for amd64 ver of lubuntu? <-----
[10:30] <Kartagis> do you guys know of a broken link checker for websites behind CAS?
[10:30] <janus_> server irc.pirc.pl
[10:30] <ikonia> ubi_: boot from the livecd, look in the xorg log and see what xorg driver it's using
[10:31] <ubi_> ok bb...
[10:31] <ubi_> be back
[10:32] <pengw> hi thre
[10:33] <pengw> hi there
[10:33] <pengw> is there an alternative for unetbootin?
[10:34] <MadsRC> Ubuntu's build in programme
[10:34] <MadsRC> ehm...
[10:34] <MadsRC> Startup Disk Creator i think it is
[10:34] <pengw> i  want to install backtrack 5 from usb
[10:34] <pengw> or actually install backtrack into it.
[10:34] <ikonia> pengw: ok, the guys in #backtrack-linux can help with that
[10:34] <pengw> thx madsrc i know that one but i think it just for ubuntu
[10:35] <dr_willis> pendrivelinux site has alrernatives
[10:36] <pengw> thx
[10:37] <ubiguy> guys
[10:37] <crooks306> is there a way to turn of channel events in xchat?
[10:38] <DJones> crooks306: Right click on the channel name, there's an option to hide joins, parts etc
[10:38] <dr_willis> i think so. but you nay need to dig into uts settings and events
[10:39] <pangolin> crooks306: right click on the channel name
[10:39] <crooks306> thanks DJones
[10:39] <dr_willis> joins and parts aer easy.
[10:39] <crooks306> expected a global
[10:39] <dr_willis> i was thinking modes and ither specials
[10:40] <dr_willis> there is some global settings. but you use the commands to set a lot if them. nit the gui
[10:41] <pangolin> crooks306: /set irc_conf_mode on and then /gui apply
[10:42] <pangolin> crooks306: https://toxin.jottit.com/xchat_set_variables if you want to look into it deeper
[10:43] <juanchi> doesn anybody knows of any existing ubuntu oneiric repositories for PowerPc? ports.ubuntu.com seems to be the only one and Its down right now
[10:44] <crooks306> I would strongly suggest debian if you're playing on a ppc
[10:45] <crooks306> That's far from the target audience for Ubuntu I reckon
[10:45] <eagle-eyes-UK> need some advice on adobe reader in Unbuntu 11.10
[10:45] <dr_willis> i gave up on ppc. sold my old mac.
[10:45] <velko> juanchi, packages.ubuntu.com. but it does not show anything about i82365
[10:46] <ubuxubu> velko i wish i knew wut u meant
[10:46] <ubuxubu> how do i decompress it
[10:46] <crooks306> I still have a couple old macs.  last year around this time our local LUG spent a day and most of a night trying to see how many weird old machines we could get to boot
[10:47] <crooks306> the old power macs were surprisingly easy
[10:48] <velko> ubuxubu, right click on the file you have downloaded and select "extract all"
[10:49] <ubuxubu> ok then it will unfold for me
[10:49] <ubuxubu> does 2nd life run good in ubuntu
[10:49] <velko> ubuxubu, change into the directory which is created by this process and click on the secondlife file. if it asks to display or to run it, then choose to run it
[10:50] <velko> ubuxubu, i don't know. i don't use ubuntu
[10:50] <velko> ubuxubu, neither second life
[10:50] <ubuxubu> wut do u  use
[10:50] <velko> ubuxubu, debian proper
[10:50] <ubuxubu> hmmm
[10:51] <ubuxubu> i cant imagine why
[10:51] <velko> ubuxubu, this is really offtopic
[10:51] <ubuxubu> ty
[10:52] <Silver`> i don't think he ment it as a compliment :)
[10:52] <ubuxubu> ty 2 silver for clarifying
[10:53] <a7x> how do i get wpa2 work on oneiric and broadcom chipset? (mbp 7.1)
[10:54] <ubuxubu> seems like it works automatically when u run buntu inside of windows
[10:57] <crooks306> try installing wpasupplicant
[10:58] <crooks306> not sure if that package is still current
[10:58] <crooks306> a7x, ^
[10:58] <a7x> ok crooks306
[10:59] <newhaskeller> does anyone have experience installing ubuntu on mac
[10:59] <newhaskeller> without bootcamp or diskutility?
[11:00] <damo22> newhaskeller, yes
[11:00] <damo22> newhaskeller, but i dont recommend it
[11:01] <newhaskeller> damo22: i have no other option
[11:01] <damo22> newhaskeller, you need a kernel that supports EFI and the /boot/efi/bootx64.efi grub bootloader
[11:01] <newhaskeller> its an old mac
[11:01] <damo22> newhaskeller, how old?
[11:01] <newhaskeller> 2008, leopard
[11:02] <damo22> newhaskeller, is it intel i386 or x86_64?
[11:02] <newhaskeller> damo22, 1386
[11:02] <newhaskeller> damo22, *i386
[11:02] <damo22> newhaskeller, in that case it might be tricky and you will need to build your own version of grub
[11:04] <damo22> newhaskeller, i havent actually tried it on your hardware but i have an idea how to make it work
[11:04] <newhaskeller> damo22, do you know of any guides or tutorials to do this?
[11:04] <a7x> wpasupplicant it's alredy uptodate crooks306, should i install it from sources? :\
[11:05] <damo22> newhaskeller, do you have a spare hour to play with it now?
[11:06] <damo22> newhaskeller, what kind of mac ? imac? mb?
 does anyone have experience installing ubuntu on mac
[11:06] <a7x> i did it yesterday
[11:07] <damo22> a7x he has a very old one that doesnt support x86:64
[11:07] <a7x> oh
[11:07] <harsh343> I got this message when i try sudo command what i can do
[11:07] <newhaskeller> macbook
[11:07] <newhaskeller> the worst purchase I ever made, after alienware
[11:07] <newhaskeller> a7x, Optical drive slot loader is screwed. Disk utility won't partition. What do I do?
[11:07] <newhaskeller> Can't even use install disk to partition it
[11:07] <harsh343> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[11:07] <harsh343> help ,e
[11:07] <harsh343> me*
[11:08] <harsh343> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[11:08] <damo22> newhaskeller, i can make you a usb installer
[11:08] <a7x> harsh343 chmod it to 0440 then
[11:08] <harsh343> a7x, so what i can do
[11:08] <harsh343> ?
[11:08] <newhaskeller> damo22, that'll be really great
[11:09] <damo22> newhaskeller, pm?
[11:09] <a7x> harsh343, quick answer: "man chmod" and read how to set the mode
[11:09] <newhaskeller> damo22, im new to irc.. how do I pm
[11:09] <newhaskeller> (sorry for my ignorance)
[11:09] <crooks306> can you get into the bios on a macbook?
[11:10] <damo22> macbook doesnt have a bios
[11:10] <a7x> no crooks306 we run "EFI"
[11:10] <crooks306> is there something bios-like?
[11:10] <newhaskeller> it has some EFI system thing
[11:10] <damo22> yes called EFI
[11:10] <crooks306> similar to what my new mobo has?
[11:10] <harendra> does ubuntu  or intel anyone provides intel gma 3100 graphics driver for ubuntu
[11:10] <a7x> harsh343, slow answer: sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoers  <- but do it only if you're sure it should be 0440 :)
[11:11] <MagePsycho> how to tar the file under a folder by excluding some folder?
[11:11] <a7x> crooks306 i think so, EFI it's starting to spread on PCs too
[11:11] <st0ner> hey guys, lately when i try to use apt-get install, it doesnt download the package, just hangs and keeps trying, like this: http://pastebin.com/7Pp9TTqw
[11:11] <MonkeyDust> MagePsycho  http://linuxmanpages.com/man1/tar.1.php
[11:11] <st0ner> anyone know what might cause this?
[11:12] <peteyg> I'm ssh'ing into my school's Natty box and lynx is complaining that the /tmp/ dir is full, I tried using $quota -uv <username> but nothing is outputted (no errors, nothing). Am I using the wrong command to look at my disk quota?
[11:12] <a7x> looks like you have connection problems st0ner
[11:12] <st0ner> a7x, the server is online, im connected to it from my office
[11:12] <harsh343> a7x, this is my output http://pastebin.com/8ACbxSWw
[11:12] <a7x> try to ping it a little bit, then retry
[11:13] <sacarlson> st0ner: other than first spelling error I think it worked
[11:13] <st0ner> im thinking my ipv6 HE tunnel might be messing up but i dont know exactly
[11:13] <a7x> harsh343, well try "sudo su"
[11:13] <st0ner> sacarlson, yes, it works till it tries to fetch the files, then it just keeps trying over and over
[11:14] <st0ner> a7x, i can ping it fine
[11:14] <harsh343> a7x, again the same sudo su
[11:14] <a7x> st0ner, try again then
[11:14] <harsh343> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[11:14] <MagePsycho> tar -zcvf file.tar.gz folder/* but want to exclude some folder
[11:14] <sacarlson> st0ner: well try another repository other than china then,  maybe japan next time
[11:14] <MagePsycho> howz that possible
[11:14] <a7x> harsh343, check the sudoers file
[11:14] <crooks306> peteyg, what does df /tmp say?
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> MagePsycho  try --exclude
[11:14] <st0ner> sacarlson, lol thats Switzerland dude
[11:15] <harsh343> a7x, where ?
[11:15] <st0ner> sacarlson, does it make any difference if the server is using ipv6 or ipv4 only?
[11:15] <a7x> sacarlson, chn = china... ch = suiss :P
[11:15] <peteyg> crooks306: used 100%. yikes!
[11:15] <a7x> harsh343 gedit /etc/sudoers
[11:15] <sacarlson> a7x: st0ner: then try china next time instead of suiss
[11:15] <crooks306> peteyg, that partition is probably full.
[11:16] <peteyg> crooks306: I'm guessing /tmp is a globally shared folder? Wonder if I can go in there and delete some stuff...
[11:16] <st0ner> a7x, is sacarlson trying to be funny and failing?
[11:16] <harsh343> a7x, output is http://pastebin.com/kx8akqrD
[11:16] <sacarlson> st0ner: there are more than one repository just try any other
[11:16] <a7x> st0ner no idea dude :P
[11:16] <crooks306> peteyg, /tmp is probably on the same partition as / or worse yet everything is in one partition
[11:17] <a7x> harsh343, the fix it's a little bit difficult, you messed up sudoers
[11:17] <st0ner> sacarlson, alright, but can you tell if the fact im using ipv6 messes up with the repo?
[11:17] <crooks306> peteyg, if you have appropriate permissions you can safely clear our /tmp
[11:17] <crooks306> out*
[11:17] <harsh343> a7x, so what i can do ?
[11:17] <peteyg> crooks306: Oh god, the whole disk is full!
[11:17] <harsh343> can i copy this file from other system and paste it
[11:17] <a7x> harsh343, first, next time remember to use visudo to modify /etc/sudoers
[11:17] <eon_> Hello , when converting from rpm to deb with alien , I see this message ( 	debian/rules binary 2>&1 ) .. Is it a problem ?
[11:17] <sacarlson> st0ner: I don't think so https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[11:17] <xiao> hi gay's
[11:17] <harsh343> a7x, ok
[11:17] <xiao> i hav problem
[11:18] <a7x> harsh343, no you can't because you're not root it's a bad situation
[11:18] <xiao> computer not found my phone
[11:18] <crooks306> peteyg, is there separate partitions for /home?
[11:18] <xiao> :x
[11:18] <peteyg> crooks306: Any command to tell me what files I have permissions to modify once I'm in a directory?
[11:18] <harsh343> a7x, then ?
[11:18] <st0ner> sacarlson, thanks
[11:18] <peteyg> crooks306: Nope. df $HOME and it's 100%'d
[11:18] <MagePsycho> MonkeyDust: tar -zcvf file.tar.gz public_html/* | --exclude public_html/var
[11:18] <xiao> please
[11:18] <xiao> help
[11:18] <MagePsycho> MonekyDust:can you help with problem exclude command
[11:19] <crooks306> peteyg, can you sudo?
[11:19] <a7x> harsh343: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9780579&postcount=5
[11:19] <peteyg> crooks306: Nope. Tried it once and the school's sys admin barked at me, lol!
[11:19] <xiao> anyone
[11:19] <aithox> help! i can run *.swf file via terminal like this.. " flahplayer myflash_file.swf" but how can i make default application for flash file ???
[11:19] <damian0815> hey alls.. initramfs-tools/scripts question. i'm calling modprobe in my init-bottom script and it's causing the script to silently fail (i'm not checking the return code, it's just aborting). the module i'm trying to load is builtin but i can't guarantee this. is there any way to test this fast?
[11:20] <peteyg> xiao: Your problem is very ambiguous... What phone, and what do you mean "not found"?
[11:20] <harsh343> a7x, It will takes long time
[11:20] <a7x> well yes, it's an important file you need to learn how to handle it :)
[11:20] <xiao> I hav Sony Ericsson W595, not found = does not show his.
[11:21] <crooks306> peteyg, you're likely fucked.  the system admin didn't set up the box properly
[11:21] <harsh343> any other command because i have no live cd
[11:21] <peteyg> crooks306: Lol. Fuck.
[11:21] <crooks306> peteyg, you can try to cd into /tmp and rm files but you likely won't have proper permissions
[11:22] <a7x> harsh343, oh actually there is a way but it's even more difficult :\
[11:22] <peteyg> crooks306: If I go into /tmp and then tried rm -rf /. would it at least delete the files my applications created? Wouldn't I have perms to those? (linux n00b here :P)
[11:22] <harsh343> a7x, what happen if i restart my system ?
[11:23] <a7x> nothing, :)
[11:23] <xiao> peteyg, you understand me?
[11:23] <harsh343> a7x, nothing means ?
[11:23] <Myrtti> !language | crooks306
[11:23] <harsh343> I am not able to access ubuntu
[11:23] <harsh343> ?
[11:23] <mi3> Hi!
[11:23] <a7x> harsh343, no, you will be.
[11:23] <a7x> but it won't fix the problem
[11:23] <harsh343> a7x, ok means i am not able to use sudo
[11:23] <harsh343> right ?
[11:23] <crooks306> Myrtti, wasn't me that swore.  was directed at me.  careful with that...
[11:23] <a7x> harsh343, anyway you need to boot into single user mode
[11:24] <xiao> I do not know English very well.
[11:24] <a7x> it's the only other way that comes in my mind
[11:24] <harsh343> a7x, means ?
[11:24] <peteyg> crooks306: Yeah, I get you so far. Just curious if there was anyway to delete files in /tmp that I created (thereby assuming that I would have perms to delete as well)
[11:24] <engammalsko> I can only run ccsm as root.
[11:24] <Myrtti> crooks306: have another look...
[11:24] <harsh343> a7x, please give me some short steps
[11:24] <engammalsko> When I type "ccsm" it won't run.
[11:24] <mi3> Can someone tell me what is a data card? Also, How can I connect it to the internet by inserting my sim?
[11:24] <sacarlson> harsh343: sound to me like you would have to reboot into single user (recovery) mode and change that /etc/suders file there,  how and why did it get changed in the first place?
[11:25] <crooks306> Myrtti, oh you're right..  my bad.. didn't even realize it

[11:27] <st0ner> sacarlson, tbh i don tknow what that means exactly, but apache is running on that server fine without any issues, apache is using port 80
[11:27] <peteyg> crooks306: okay, I'll give that a go, thanks!
[11:27] <a7x> harsh343, i didn't try this way actually but if it doesn't work just come back here: reboot, then hold the "left shift" while booting grub
[11:27] <a7x> select "drop to root shell"
[11:28] <a7x> harsh343, and finally do "chmod 440 /mnt/drive/etc/sudoers"
[11:28] <a7x> reboot and check if works... if anything is different from what i said just come back here. I never tried single user mode on grub2

[11:35] <MagePsycho> can anyone help me..  i want to tar the public_html folder but wants to exclude var/ folder
[11:35] <sacarlson> drag0nz: from this line you already gave Get:1 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  you already use port 80, but I did notice that is seems to get the same file two times
[11:36] <sacarlson> drag0nz: is this some kind of upgrade or something that has corrupted your repository with two repo at the same time?
[11:36] <MagePsycho> tar -zcvf public_html.tar.gz public_html/* --exclude "public_html/var"  --> didn't work for me
[11:37] <sacarlson> drag0nz: the http://  signifies port 80

[11:38] <crooks306> find /tmp/ -user yourusername -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
[11:38] <pengw> who know how to do that
[11:38] <crooks306> peteyg, ^^
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> MagePsycho  your line should be similar to this --> tar -cf all.tar --exclude test *
[11:38] <pengw> even bluefish 2.21 is not able to do that @_@ or any one got better alternative? THX
[11:38] <peteyg> crooks306: Thanks. So what does \; do at the end? \ is to start a new line, isn't it?
[11:39] <GhostWolf> hi all, does anyone know if there any sites that i can test to see if my webcam works while on ubuntu? i know before i upgraded to 11.10, in 11.04 i couldn't get my webcam to broadcast when in a chat site called tinychat.com.
[11:39] <drag0nz> sacarlson, no its not an upgrade, but yeah, it does have http:// infornt of each one of them
[11:40] <MagePsycho> MonkeyDust:  tar -zcvf public_html.tar.gz --exclude "public_html/var" public_html/*
[11:40] <MagePsycho> MonekyDust:is that fine?
[11:40] <sacarlson> drag0nz: maybe pastebin the repository list for us to take a look at
[11:40] <rexor> GhostWolf, In skype in settings menu is place when u can that your webcam is working
[11:40] <crooks306> peteyg, should be.  like i said.. copy pasted.. worked as it should for me
[11:40] <GhostWolf> and also im in tinychat right now and it seems im having an issue with the adobe flash setting, it won't let me select allow. and plus i can't hit close button, is there a way to automatically do this without going to the site itself?
[11:41] <peteyg> crooks306: Yay! That got rid of a whopping 12KB... I need to go headbutt that sys admin. Thanks for your help though! Slowly getting my way around linux and the terminal :)
[11:41] <GhostWolf> rexor, im not talking about skype. im talking about websites that allows you to chat via webcam not programs like skype
[11:42] <cancer> MonkeyDust: I have installed Kubuntu, and now to want to installed Audio and Video Drivers. No sound & no Display Drivers. Please Help
[11:42] <peteyg> GhostWolf: AFAIK, you can't set those settings elsewhere... Flash is lame like that :/
[11:42] <crooks306> peteyg, I'm guessing a bunch of you share this system and filled the drive.  since the whole sytem is in one partition user's home directories killed any free space for the rest of the system
[11:42] <saju_m> i have to test block device copy using command,  dd if=/dev/null bs=4096k | tar -czSf - , what are the ways to create a dummy block device ?
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> cancer  i'm not familiar with kubuntu or installing audio/video drivers, everything out of the box here
[11:43] <GhostWolf> peteyg, ok, but what does it means if it automatically has deny on the setting but i can't select allow or even hit the close button with my mouse?
[11:43] <harsh343> again the same problem
[11:43] <dr_willis> gho
[11:43] <harsh343> a7x,
[11:43] <cancer> MonkeyDust: where to consult?
[11:43] <peteyg> GhostWolf: Flash bugged out? Wouldn't be the first time (or the last...)
[11:43] <bazhang> cancer, what does jockey-kde show
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> cancer  here, maybe someone else knows
[11:43] <bazhang> cancer, also, what card is this
[11:43] <GhostWolf> peteyg, ok, is there a way to fix it?
[11:44] <dr_willis> GhostWolf:  seen that befor as a common flash issue. maybe some fixs at askubuntu.com or the forums
[11:44] <cancer> bazhang: it's new and untouched. Nvidia & and there also no sound
[11:44] <bazhang> cancer, what model of nvidia
[11:44] <peteyg> GhostWolf: what browser are you using?
[11:44] <dr_willis> cancer:  using hdmi audio or normal cables
[11:44] <drag0nz> sacarlson, alright, give me a minute
[11:45] <cancer> bazhang: Nvidia quadro
[11:45] <GhostWolf> dr_willis, ok i just want to double check to see if with the upgrade if i can use my webcam on the site such as tinychat.com. i know it works with skype after i had to install some files before upgrading
[11:45] <GhostWolf> peteyg, im using firefox
[11:45] <bazhang> cancer, please pastebin the output of lspci
[11:45] <bazhang> cancer, paste.ubuntu.com
[11:45] <peteyg> GhostWolf: If you're using Chrome, try something else. Else, try Chrome (reason I say this is because Chrome has it's own built-in Flash plugin separate from your sys-wide one)
[11:45] <crooks306> GhostWolf, does your webcam work in cheese?
[11:45] <peteyg> GhostWolf: So yeah, in that case try Chrome.
[11:46] <GhostWolf> crooks306, yes but i know theres some issues with certain sites cause my webcam is old
[11:46] <sacarlson> harsh343: I think you need to read this http://superuser.com/questions/306182/chmod-sudoers-without-using-sudo
[11:46] <GhostWolf> peteyg, ok let me check that
[11:46] <aithox> help! i can run *.swf file via terminal like this.. " flahplayer myflash_file.swf" but how can i make default application for flash file ???
[11:47] <GhostWolf> crooks306, even when i had issues with not getting it to work with skype, i was still able to have it work with cheese
[11:47] <drag0nz> sacarlson, here it is http://pastebin.com/TfDfx42F
[11:47] <sacarlson> drag0nz: ok reading
[11:47] <drag0nz> thanks for the help dude
[11:47] <harsh343> sacarlson, right now i am using password admin thenafter i try chmod 440 /etc/sudoers it works
[11:47] <harsh343> now
[11:47] <cancer> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/864930/
[11:48] <GhostWolf> peteyg, same issue in chrome with the flash setting.
[11:48] <peteyg> GhostWolf: Ugh... lame :(. Maybe a webcam issue like others have said?
[11:49] <GhostWolf> peteyg, might be, i was able to use tab and move around with it, and theres a webcam icon and it shows when that tab is selected that it doesn't see any webcam connected
[11:49] <crooks306> GhostWolf, that's strange.  I would think it would just be treated as a regular device regardless of what it is.  Also... webcams are really cheap these days >.>
[11:50] <a7x> harsh343, the did you do it?
[11:50] <a7x> then*
[11:50] <cancer> bazhang: ?
[11:50] <GhostWolf> crooks306, yes i know. but its linux/ubuntu. not everything is simplified these days as i find it. its not like windows when you can get the drivers if it needs to be upgraded or what not
[11:50] <harsh343> a7x, yes i am using password after su
[11:50] <takpar> :/
[11:50] <megasoft78> I have an issue with Ubuntu 11.10 using gcc 4.6 because when I try to use it to build my application and run the same application on Ubuntu 10.04 I get : version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found

[11:53] <harsh343> a7x, :)thanks
[11:53] <megasoft78> anyone have any suggestions?
[11:53] <bazhang> megasoft78, why would you need that
[11:53] <a7x> you're welcome
[11:53] <megasoft78> bazhang: I want to create a cross distro build
[11:54] <cancer> bazhang: after kubuntu installed i never get any option to update drivers?

[11:55] <bazhang> cancer, and what additional driver did it suggest
[11:56] <harsh343> a7x, ok
[11:56] <sacarlson> drag0nz: why is that line there?

[12:04] <dr_willis> theres even a vi or emacs mode i recall
[12:05] <drag0nz> sacarlson, bazhang, no, im not running debian, should i remove that line as is?
[12:05] <alfa_centaury> hi
[12:05] <sacarlson> drag0nz: at this point I'm not sure if you have already mixed debian with ubuntu if so I think you system is probly trashed
[12:06] <cancer_> bazhang: sorry kubuntu hanged, so i restarted my pc.
[12:06] <sacarlson> drag0nz: if for some reason that line was just added and nothing was installed then you might be lucky
[12:06] <sacarlson> drag0nz: yes you could try remove that line as I have already on your list to see what it does
[12:06] <cancer_> bazhang: what now, i have mentioned additional drivers details. (kubuntu: wubi / Host: windows)
[12:07] <delinquentme> ctrl+U LOVe
[12:07] <chown_> is there a way to vnc into a amc from ubuntu?
[12:09] <sacarlson> drag0nz: just so hapens my libssl-dev needed upgrade also and with that one line removed it is installing fine
[12:19] <MimosakaRyou> i cant find my usb drive mount point , i've checked fstab , mnt , but to no avail
[12:19] <sacarlson> drag0nz: so what's the plan or results?
[12:20] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: it should default to mount at /media
[12:21] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: sudo mount should display all mounted devices
[12:21] <MimosakaRyou> yeah i know , err how should i explain this
[12:22] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: sudo lsusb should list the device if seen on the usb port
[12:22] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: you can try disk utility and see if it's formated , if it's not it won't automount
[12:23] <MimosakaRyou> thanks sacarlson
[12:24] <samba35> has any one tryed ubuntu on/for mobile
[12:25] <gnaddel> Hi there, I have run into a little network problem with my htpc. For some reason I cannot reach it over it's hostname anymore (ssh, webserver etc.). Connecting to it's IP still works though and it seems to me that the hostname is still set correctly in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[12:26] <sacarlson> samba35: it works on my small eeepc but I think it's too big and bloated to be used on something like a phone like adroid
[12:27] <samba35> what kind of hardware you have i am planning to buy a new phone for ubuntu  (just planning -then review )
[12:27] <samba35> eeepc ?
[12:27] <sacarlson> gnaddel: the ip addresses at /etc/hosts  are only used on the client side is that were you have them set?
[12:28] <sacarlson> samba35: eeepc is just a small notebook computer
[12:28] <popey> samba35: We don't have a product available for phone yet
[12:28] <popey> samba35: so I wouldn't base your phone buying decision on it
[12:28] <samba35> ok
[12:29] <sacarlson> samba35: but android is linux and much like debian/ubuntu
[12:29] <gnaddel> sacarlson: My /etc/hosts reads: 127.0.0.1	localhost
[12:29] <gnaddel> 127.0.1.1	noname.dummy.net	Zotac-box
[12:29] <metaphysicist> Does anyone know if the Camarabuntu project is still alive?
[12:29] <metaphysicist> ./msg nickserv identify !@#tesl4G
[12:29] <samba35> is it coming with version 12 .04 ?
[12:29] <metaphysicist> Fuck me.
[12:29] <sacarlson> gnaddel: is that what you want it to be?
[12:29] <gnaddel> sacarlson: Zotac-box is supposed to be the hostname. It worked until today
[12:30] <yun> join/ #ubuntu-fr
[12:30] <gnaddel> sacarlson: I'm not certain what the noname.dummy.net is supposed to do there though.
[12:30] <daniel__> i have instaled ubuntu 11.10 x64 and my unity is very slow and always crash anyone knows what is happening to it?
[12:30] <sacarlson> gnaddel: then you can add that zotac-box into the /etc/hosts file of the CLIENT side to make it resolve
[12:30] <samba35> metaphysicist, change your passwd ASAP
[12:30] <daniel__> itas a core i7 with 8gb ran and 1tb hd
[12:32] <woozly> Gnome freezed
[12:32] <woozly> how to kill it?
[12:32] <woozly> Unity I mean
[12:32] <sacarlson> gnaddel: there are many ways to get it to resolve with dns for example, not sure how it was resolved before
[12:33] <drchav> i ahve the same problem unity always freeze
[12:33] <hobbelt> sacarlson do you also happen to have experience with apache and httpd.conf directory settings?
[12:33] <sacarlson> hobbelt: yes some
[12:33] <gnaddel> sacarlson: Basically it's just supposed to make it possible to reach the box with the hostname instead of it's current IP over LAN.
[12:33] <sacarlson> hobbelt: even if I don't other here might so just ask
[12:34] <hobbelt> sacarlson i keep getting a "multiple directory not supported" error on thisone: http://pastebin.com/cv2CHH6P it looks good to me :s
[12:34] <sacarlson> gnaddel: do you want all systems to resolve with that name?  if so you would need to setup something like bind9 and edit configs to point to it
[12:34] <saju_m> tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive, http://dpaste.com/710414/
[12:35] <sacarlson> gnaddel: by all systems I mean all clients on that lan
[12:35] <gnaddel> sacarlson: I want all clients in the lan to be able to connect to the services on the ubuntu server via the hostname
[12:36] <sacarlson> gnaddel: ok then I suggest bind9
[12:36] <ronsonol> Installed 12.04 beta 1 AMD64 (xubuntu).  Seems entirely ready for primetime so far.
[12:36] <gnaddel> sacarlson: Ok thanks I'll look into it
[12:38] <drag0nz> sacarlson, ssorry for the delay dude.. i removed that line, i must have added it few months ago when i was installing a new program, it was manually added not automatic
[12:38] <zxiest> Hello everybody :-)
[12:38] <drag0nz> but i still have the same problem, it hangs trying to "get" the file at 0%
[12:38] <drag0nz> then it just keeps on trying
[12:39] <zxiest> I have ubuntu 11.10. I have two terminal windows open. When I minimize, they go in the panel. When I click on the button, it brings back one of them. Is there a way to be able to have all minimized windows appear in the panel instead of the program?
[12:40] <sacarlson> hobbelt: i don't see anything wrong off the top of my head but I've never seen those 4 top lines before
[12:41] <sacarlson> drag0nz: well it might still work depending on what you installed with debian attached,  it's a roll of the dice at this point what damage it may have caused
[12:41] <hobbelt> sacarlson the top 4 lines are fine, if i restart apache (/init.d) i get an error on rule 14 which is the 2nd directory statement.  "multiple directory statements not supported"  <-- thats weird because it should support multiple right?
[12:41] <a7x> anyway, i followed anything written here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Oneiric#Wireless_.28AirPort.29 but still i can't see the my wpa2 network in the list.
[12:42] <a7x> i also installed wpa_supplicant from debian sid
[12:42] <eon_> Hello ! I Ihave a problem after the instalation of Maya , I had "segmentation fault" when trying to run it .. any help ?
[12:42] <a7x> (debian wheezy)
[12:43] <sacarlson> hobbelt: I'm not sure I do have more than one directory in mine but I'm not totaly sure what file I was looking at
[12:43] <hobbelt> httpd.conf
[12:43] <sacarlson> hobbelt: oh ok I was compareing it to /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[12:43] <hobbelt> oh wait..
[12:44] <hobbelt> maybe phpmyadmin inserts them already
[12:44] <drag0nz> sacarlson, so its not an networking(ipv6) issue?
[12:44] <sacarlson> hobbelt: oh ya I only have a single directory in that file
[12:44] <sacarlson> hobbelt: yes I would think it does
[12:44] <hobbelt> sacarlson: if phpmyadmin inserts the same values as i do in httpd.conf -> thats an error
[12:44] <Dark|Code> hey
[12:45] <Dark|Code> *_*
[12:45] <hobbelt> sacarlson it does, hmmm
[12:45] <drag0nz> sacarlson, thing is, when i run apt-get update it works fine as well
[12:45] <sacarlson> hobbelt: yes I would take you customized myphpadmin out of there and maybe put it into the other file
[12:46] <sacarlson> drag0nz: yes it works fine for me I installed the file you tried to install with no problem with the small mod less that last line
[12:46] <hobbelt> sacarlson yap it works :). now lets see if its only available on my IP
[12:47] <sacarlson> drag0nz: if you start getting some total unpredictable stuf I would fully reinstall that system from scratch since no way to find all the files that debian put in
[12:47] <drag0nz> crap.. thats not cool
[12:47] <drag0nz> so far the only problem i have is what im here for
[12:47] <sacarlson> hobbelt: in phpmyadmin you can add other ip to access
[12:48] <sacarlson> hobbelt: but it defaults to only localhost access
[12:48] <hobbelt> sacarlson yap, but i couldnt access phpmyadmin, so thats a problem then :P
[12:48] <hobbelt> and sine its a VPS with server edition i dont have a GUI
[12:48] <chadale> I am trying to install using wubi onto an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop (core i7) and it keeps trying to install the AMD64 platform package. is this wrong? I'd prefer not to let it eat up my bandwidth downloading the wrong thing
[12:49] <sacarlson> hobbelt: well then you might have to ssh into the system and change it there
[12:49] <hobbelt> i did, it works now :)
[12:49] <germanyboy24> http://xeducation.info/2012/03/gorgeous-brunette-milf-teacher-punishes-her-student/
[12:49] <sacarlson> hobbelt: ok done deal
[12:49] <crizzy> :x
[12:49] <kk23> which command use to simplication commands for example i would write halt and run /sbin/halt
[12:49] <hobbelt> sacarlson problem was quiet simple: I defined a rule in httpd.conf which was partially present in apache.conf (phpmyadmin)  double entry = error
[12:50] <sacarlson> and it's beer time for me so I'll leave you all to the experts,  good luck to all of you
[12:50] <keyvin> chadale - if you want to run 64 bit ubuntu, the amd64 is what your looking for
[12:51] <Andale> Hello I'm sorry for my English. I'm connect to a server linux with sftp protocol and I have modified symlink with gedit. When I have saved the file, gedit has replaced link as a real file.
[12:52] <freez00> how can  I enable the console output for the boot/start of ubuntu ? I can only see a blinking cursor
[12:53] <spitzi> Howdy. I'm using grub2 on Ubuntu 11.10. As you can see in http://paste.ubuntu.com/864220/ , grub knows I have a bootable WinXP in sdb1, but it doesn't feature it in the grub menu. How come, and how can I fix this ? Thanks.
[12:54] <spitzi> BRB. Answers will be much appreciated.
[12:54] <WhereIsMySpoon> hi, i just had a really bad crash on xubuntu, and now ethernet over usb devices that i connect seem to be detected on multiple ips..any ideas why?

[13:04] <ayhan> hey everyone
[13:04] <ayhan> i have a problem with my laptop screen
[13:04] <ayhan> anyone could help me please?
[13:05] <NimeshNeema> ayhan: sure
[13:05] <ayhan> :)
[13:05] <ayhan> well
[13:05] <WhereIsMySpoon> the suspense is killing me
[13:05] <suman_> sdasas
[13:05] <ayhan> i was using windows 7, and after reboot there was a black part on the left of my screen
[13:06] <suman_> hello
[13:06] <ayhan> and i couldnt see the lower part of the screen
[13:06] <ayhan> so i had to change the resolution
[13:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> i thought this was the ubuntu channel o.o
[13:06] <ayhan> and when i used ubuntu
[13:06] <NimeshNeema> ayhan: are you sure you are on right channel ?
[13:06] <suman_> i dont know anything
[13:06] <ayhan> it was the same here
[13:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> maybe your graphics drivers crapped out
[13:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> redownload them
[13:07] <ayhan> from the windows right?
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> doesnt matter
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> whatever you want
[13:07] <dr_willis> bottom half of a lcd display can go bad. or top half. ive seen it in the past
[13:07] <NimeshNeema> ayhan: it could be h/w trouble !!!
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> yea but just after a reboot sounds like a software problem
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> rather than hw/
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> h/w*
[13:07] <ayhan> well
[13:07] <dr_willis> check your bios screens
[13:08] <NimeshNeema> WhereIsMySpoon: oh

[13:15] <Siegel-> hi! ive downloaded and installed adobe flash player as well as ubuntu extras package and i still cant play any videos on veehd.com or gorillavid. im supposdely missing some codec-c player plugin.
[13:15] <Siegel-> it only gives me an .exe file to download
[13:17] <brand> hi could someone help me in installing windows
[13:17] <brand> in installing ubuntu
[13:17] <brand> hi could someone help me in installing ubuntu dual boot
[13:17] <ikonia> brand: what are you installing, windows or ubuntu
[13:18] <OerHeks> Siegel-, grollavid & veehd play just fine, with flashplugin
[13:18] <ikonia> brand: ok, install windows, then install ubuntu, it will set everything up for you
[13:18] <Siegel-> OerHeks: then why isnt it working
[13:18] <brand> yes i have win 7 64 bit on my laptop
[13:18] <brand> how to install linux
[13:18] <brand> i am new to computers
[13:18] <Siegel-> OerHeks: nice nick btw
[13:18] <ikonia> brand: now install ubuntu then
[13:18] <ikonia> !install | brand
[13:19] <deepsa> hi all
[13:19] <brand> i dont want to use a cd/can i boot it from my external hard disk?
[13:19] <OerHeks> Siegel-, i don't know what is wrong, works here perfectly. so it should be possible to play vid's
[13:19] <deepsa> how can i disable dnsmasq on my system so it doesnt run at all , i am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS and i have got dnsmasq-base installed
[13:19] <Siegel-> OerHeks: i guess i should check aain if its installed.
[13:19] <brand> ???
[13:20] <deepsa> removing dnsmasq-base removes libvirt-bin and other things which are required for the system currently so any alternative way?
[13:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> brand there is a specific bit there that says "dont want to use a cd?"
[13:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> read it?
[13:20] <ikonia> brand: you will find it much easier to use a CD
[13:20] <deepsa> i have to manually killall -9 dnsmasq everytime i reboot
[13:20] <deepsa> thanks  in advance
[13:20] <ikonia> brand: if you are "new" as you said, using a CD will be much much easier
[13:20] <brand> ikonia: so does that mean i should always put my cd when working with linux
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> no brand
[13:21] <ikonia> brand: no, it means you should use a CD as your install method
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> you just need to put the ubuntu iso on the cd
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> boot from cd
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> and it will install it onto your hdd
[13:21] <brand> oh
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> then you have ubuntu
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> its very easy
[13:21]  * sattu94 Has UBUNTU!
[13:21] <brand> how  about the partition?
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> it sorts that out
[13:21] <ikonia> brand: the installer will guide you through that
[13:22] <brand> do we need to partition or something
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> brand
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> the installer
[13:22] <brand> ikonia: i dont want to lose any data
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> will sort that out
[13:22] <ikonia> brand: yes, the installer will guide you through that
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> you wont
[13:22] <FloodBot1> WhereIsMySpoon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> trust the ubuntu installer :)
[13:22] <brand> ah ok
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> ethernet over usb devices that i connect seem to be detected on multiple ips..any ideas why? i rebooted and i still have the problem
[13:22] <brand> wait let me reboot and ping you guys from another nick from another computer
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont see the different ips on ifconfig but i can ping different ips in the range and they all ping successfully
[13:23] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that sounds an interesting question, could you explain a little clearer ?
[13:23] <mark__> brand have you created Windows disks yet?
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i connect an ethernet over usb device
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> if i then do ifconfig
[13:23] <ikonia> mark__: he doesn't need to, windows is installed
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i see it as 169.254.255.2, the default
[13:23] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: please pastebin the output of "sudo ifconfig -a" lets have a look
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i can ping 169.254.255.1
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> and also a load of others
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> ok
[13:23] <mark__> Yeah, but if he botches the mbr and needs to re-install Windows he's gonna want them.
[13:24] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: 169.254.255.1 doesn't have to be you
[13:25] <mark__> brand?
[13:25] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, 169.254.255.x is the setup for ethernet over usb devices for me
[13:26] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: yeah, so are there any other devices on that network ?
[13:26] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: or just you ?
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> pastie.org/private/8vamo16qn76yuzxz3gyhq
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> just me
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> http://pastie.org/private/8vamo16qn76yuzxz3gyhq
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> and my ethernet over usb device
[13:27] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: so if you ping 169.254.255.10 do you get a response ?
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> .9
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> not .10
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> its .1, .5, .9 etc
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> thats how ive got it set up
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> for if i connect multiple devices
[13:28] <Siegel-> OerHeks: is it possible that i need to install JRE?
[13:28] <WhereIsMySpoon> but this one device seems to be on like loads of these instead of just 1
[13:28] <spitzi> Howdy. I'm using grub2 on Ubuntu 11.10. As you can see in http://paste.ubuntu.com/864220/ , grub knows I have a bootable WinXP in sdb1, but it doesn't feature it in the grub menu. How come, and how can I fix this ? Thanks.
[13:28] <OerHeks> Siegel-, does youtube.com work ? ( no need for java for playing vid's )
[13:28] <Siegel-> OerHeks: youtube works fine.
[13:29] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, it didnt do this before
[13:29] <WhereIsMySpoon> this only happened after i just had this horrible crash
[13:29] <Siegel-> OerHeks: i have adobe flash player installed. i dont see why veehd wont work. it says im missing the codec-c plugin
[13:29] <ryan_> Hello. Is it possible to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 from 11.04 directly with a CD (without upgrading first to 11.10)?
[13:30] <Siegel-> theres a 12.04 version already/
[13:30] <Siegel-> wha thappened to no child left behind
[13:30] <auronandace> ryan-c: no
[13:30] <Kartagis> isn't md5sum checking for MD5 of a file?
[13:30] <auronandace> ryan_: no
[13:31] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: what addresses can you ping
[13:32] <ryan_> auronandace: I meant 10.04. I typed that incorrectly.
[13:32] <chown_> what torrent client do you guys use?
[13:32] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, i just tried up to 101
[13:32] <WhereIsMySpoon> as in 169.254.255.101
[13:33] <WhereIsMySpoon> still pings up there
[13:33] <WhereIsMySpoon> so i guess its just taken over my whole range
[13:33] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so ssh 169.254.255.101
[13:33] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: if there is your machine, you should be able to login
[13:33] <auronandace> ryan_: from lts to lts yes
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> hm
[13:34] <bastidrazor> chown_: transmission
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> .101 doesnt seem to be the ethernet over usb device
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> it seems to be my computer
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> :S
[13:34] <ryan_> auronandace: Thank you! Have a great day!!!
[13:34] <deepsa> anyone?
[13:34] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: so can you login go .101 ?
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> no
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> i can login to .97
[13:34] <ikonia> deepsa: anyone what ? saying anyone is pointless
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> but .101 is a different device
[13:34] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok - so it stands to reason that you are not the only person on your network then
[13:34] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: is .97 your device ?
[13:35] <deepsa> ikonia: actually i posted my query above
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> .97 is my ethernet over usb device
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> .101 seems to be my own computer
[13:35] <hroi> hi Im thinking of using the "start-stop-daemon" tool to run my process.
[13:35] <ikonia> deepsa: yeah, so saying "anyone" isn't useful
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> er wait
[13:35] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: 101, can't be be your computer, or you'd be able to login
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> what
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> .101 now seems to be the device
[13:35] <hroi> I want the process to run as user, but i know normally this tool runs as root.
[13:35] <hroi> Is it reasonable to run it as user?
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> yea ok all of these ips are the device
[13:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: can you paste the output of netstat -rn please.
[13:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> i can log into all of them and they all go to this same device which i have on my table which is the ethernet over usb device
[13:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: also, just try "ifconfig usb0:1" for me as a test
[13:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> added to the pastie
[13:36] <deepsa> ikonia: understood
[13:36] <deepsa> :)
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> also added to the pasie
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> pastie
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> http://pastie.org/private/8vamo16qn76yuzxz3gyhq
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> just incase you lost it :)
[13:37] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: interesting
[13:38] <Glompkin> hello
[13:38] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: there should be no reason why that device is responding to anything other than it's own address
[13:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> yes i know :P
[13:38] <Glompkin> i have problems installing ubuntu 11.10 on my packard bell ixtreme m5150
[13:38] <xrfang_> how can I track what ubuntu is doing AFTER gdm login, just like the bootchart?   The time it spent before displaying full desktop (with icons) are very long... I am running 11.10
[13:38] <spajderix> hi
[13:38] <Glompkin> http://bit.ly/ygOwd9
[13:38] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I can't picture a situation of how that device coulc be responding
[13:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> 11.10 is stupid slow xrfang :(
[13:39] <xrfang> well, then 12.04 shall be better??
[13:39] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: look in your syslog, can you see anything unusual in there ?
[13:39] <bastidrazor> xrfang: you could look in ~/.xsession-errors
[13:39] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, you mean /etc/rsyslog.conf?
[13:40] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: no, /var/log - your actual log file
[13:40] <xrfang> bastidrazor, it has quite some messages, but I don
[13:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> which file shoudl i look at
[13:40] <xrfang> 't know what to look for
[13:40] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: /var/log/syslog
[13:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> unmanaged device found; state connected forced
[13:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> then it says see some bug number
[13:41] <eon_> is there any solution to fix "segmentation fault" when trying to run an app ?
[13:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> connection auto usbs0 auto-activation faield (2) device not managed by networkmanager or unavailable
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> eon_ segmengation fault means null pointer exception
[13:42] <Agent_X> I am try to add a OpenVPN using network manager. For some odd reason the apply is greyed out. I check network-manager policy setting and everything seems fine...anyone else seen this?
[13:42] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: nothing to suggest why it's doing what it's doing though
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> so if its your app, then debug it
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> if it isnt, raise a bug
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> you want the whole file ikonia?
[13:43] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: nah, I trust you'd spot anything obvious
[13:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> unable to read parmanent mac address?
[13:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> *permanent
[13:43] <Glompkin> Why can't my Ubuntu installer find any partitions?
[13:43] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that's "interesting" but still doesn't explain that
[13:44] <WhereIsMySpoon> the syslog is huge
[13:44] <Chris___> Is there some way I can find out why I keep getting forcibly disconnected from my wifi? It only happens with this laptop when I'm booted in ubuntu; but I don't get issues with this laptop/ubuntu on any other network..
[13:44] <WhereIsMySpoon> but ive gone back about an hour and dont see anything massive going on
[13:44] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I can't think of how this could be happening
[13:44] <AndroUser2> Ive just installed 1110 and it just boots to a grub prompt.  /boot/grub/grub.cfg is missing and so is /initrd.img however /vmlinuz is present. Any ideas please?
[13:45] <Siegel-> OerHeks: it says i need the codec-c plugin. how can i get it/
[13:45] <OerHeks> Siegel-, i don't know, it should be working.
[13:45] <Siegel-> dunno
[13:46] <sipior> eon_: depending on your skill level and/or patience, you can try running the program under ltrace, and see what errors crop up immediately before the segfault occurs: "ltrace -S <app>"
[13:46] <sipior> eon_: sometimes there's an easy fix; usually not.
[13:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, there anywhere/one else that could help me further do you know?
[13:47] <eon_> sipior: when running ltrace it says that : ltrace: Can't open ELF file ..
[13:47] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: it maybe worth (and this is a little bit of a long shot) looking onthe switch this device is plugged into, see if you can get something from that
[13:47] <sipior> eon_: what was the exact command?
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> what do you mean, the switch, ikonia
[13:48] <eon_> sipior:  /usr/bin/maya
[13:48] <engammalsko> I can't run CCSM on gnome classic on Ubuntu 11.10. Can anyone help me?
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> its plugged into a usb port
[13:48] <sipior> eon_: the full command, please.
[13:48] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon your device must be plugged into a switch/hub/router "something"
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> no
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> its plugged into my computer via usb
[13:48] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: hang on, is this not a usb network card, have I missunderstood
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> its just a device
[13:48] <crazydip> how do i find out the current font used in the terminal?
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> it isnt a network card
[13:48] <AndroUser2> Ive just installed ubuntu 1110 and it just boots to a grub prompt.  /boot/grub/grub.cfg is missing and so is /initrd.img however /vmlinuz is present. Any ideas please?
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I'm sorry, I totally missunderstood
[13:49] <WhereIsMySpoon> np ^^
[13:49] <eon_> sipior: I tried "ltrace -S maya" and the error is "ltrace: Can't open ELF file "/usr/local/bin/maya" "
[13:49] <ikonia> AndroUser2: replace the missing files, probably a re-isntall is easier if you don't know how
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: well, in that case, I'm wondering if the device just broadcasts it's self on the whole range
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: and your usb0 device is just "your" computers IP on that network
[13:49] <WhereIsMySpoon> it didnt before
[13:49] <sipior> eon_: you just mentioned that maya lives in /usr/bin, so there's your problem. try giving the full path: "ltrace -S /usr/bin/maya"
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: oh, so something's changed
[13:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> this only happened after i got a horrible crash
[13:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> as ive said
[13:50] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: did your computer crash, or the device ?
[13:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> computer
[13:50] <eon_> sipior: sorry the right path is /usr/local/bin/maya
[13:50] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: where does your computers USB0: ip address come from, do you configure that or does it come from dhcp on the device ?
[13:51] <AndroUser2> Ikonia: i feared that. Is it easy to replace the files?
[13:51] <ikonia> AndroUser2: depends how much you know what you are doing
[13:51] <ikonia> AndroUser2: how did they get removed ?
[13:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, the ip is automatically assigned to the device when it connects
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> and additional devices go 4 more ips up
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> so .1, .5, .9 etc
[13:52] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so that must be some sort of "dhcp" type situation from the device
[13:52] <AndroUser2> Ikoonia. No idea. Its a new install on a fresh partition
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> im not sure what a dhcp s :P
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> *is
[13:52] <ikonia> AndroUser2: new install = just re-install, easy and simple
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> im a technical guy but dont know much about networking
[13:53] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, just let me have a think on this for a moment
[13:53] <WhereIsMySpoon> sure
[13:55] <gener1c> im having issues with sharing my printer with other none ubuntu OSs
[13:56] <gener1c> any other than ubuntu OS, (Fedora and windows) prints out @pjl
[13:56] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so every IP address you try to connect to, is that the USB device, or your computer it connects to (the ssh test)
[13:56] <gener1c> tried to connect the printer to fedora and the same happens from ubuntu to fedora over the network
[13:56] <gener1c> it must be a cups issue...
[13:57] <nikolai_> hello alll peeps !
[13:57] <nikolai_> anyonbe for a chat?
[13:57] <nikolai_> how does this thing work ????
[13:57] <nikolai_> :)
[13:57] <ikonia> nikolai_: hi there, this channel is for Ubuntu technical support discussion, if you want to chat in general try #defocus
[13:57] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, the usb device

[13:58] <Glompkin> Tjena, jag bestämde mig för att installera Ubuntu 11.10 x64 på min stationära dator (från W7).
[13:58] <Glompkin> Och det hela funkar prima ända tills man ska välja partitioner att ta bort/formatera. Det finns inga partitioner att välja mellan.
[13:58] <Glompkin> Jag spelade in en film med telefonen som visar hur det ser ut och vad som händer.
[13:58] <Glompkin> Min dator är av märket Packard Bell iXtreme m5150
[13:58] <Glompkin> Är det någon som har någon aning om hur jag ska få till det?
[13:58] <Glompkin> http://bit.ly/ygOwd9
[13:58] <Glompkin> Var väldigt trött när jag spelade in och hade feber.
[13:58] <FloodBot1> Glompkin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:58] <LjL> !se | Glompkin
[13:58] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so I cannot back this up in anyway, but it sounds as if the USB device is either a.) acting as some sort of virtual switch (which is why you see it respond to everything) or it's setting up multiple interfaces for it's sefl with all those IP's
[13:59] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: the issue doesn't appear to be with the host OS configuration, as that has 1 IP, the networking and routing is setup correctly, so based on what you've said, I can only assume the usb device is doing "something"
[13:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> but this didnt happen before
[13:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> only now after the crash
[13:59] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that doesn't mean it's not happening now
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> if it makes any difference, i have a self defined file which assigns ethernet over usb devices different ips when they connect
[14:00] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I know it's not very factual, but based on what you've told me and the responses on the network, that's what it points at
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> but it should only assign different devices to different ips
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> not the same device
[14:00] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: can you show me that file ?
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> sure one sec
[14:01] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: it may be "you" who's acting as the dhcp service, rather than the device then (based on what you are saying now)
[14:04] <WhereIsMySpoon>  ikonia this file is in /etc/ssh fyi
[14:04] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok.......
[14:04] <WhereIsMySpoon> i pmd it to you
[14:05] <kbringard> anone have time for a couple of (hopefully) quick preseed questions?
[14:05] <mohsinhijazee> i want to use my ssh key while doing things with sudo. is that possible?
[14:06] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: not sure i understand the question, can you be more specific... have you tried sudo with the -E flag?
[14:06] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, I've just read it, I don't think that file is used to assign IP's to the remote devices
[14:06] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that just looks like ssh client options on a per device basis
[14:06] <Ycarene> 12.04 will not have X installed by default, right?
[14:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> oki
[14:07] <ikonia> Ycarene: it will have X installed by default
[14:07] <theadmin> Ycarene: Where's that coming from? Obviously will, Ubuntu is and always will be a desktop distro
[14:07] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: which leads me back to my original assumption
[14:07] <Ycarene> Oh, I thought they were moving away from X
[14:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> =/
[14:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont understand why this has suddenly happened
[14:08] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: I am doing git clone in a script but that script runs with sudo and I can't get authenticated. I hope you got to the issue.
[14:08] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that part I can't say, but I can only say what "appears" to be the issue, or where it is
[14:08] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: there are a couple different options but -E may help you.
[14:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, so this shouldnt happen with a different device?
[14:08] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: The -E (preserve environment) option will override the env_reset option in sudoers(5)).  It is only available when either the matching command has the SETENV tag or the setenv option is set in sudoers(5).
[14:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> of the same type that is
[14:09] <Ycarene> Or will X be installed in a compatibility layer over Wayland?
[14:09] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I don't know in honest, I don't know how the devices are supposed to behave, but it maybe worth trying
[14:09] <ikonia> Ycarene: wayland is not being used
[14:09] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: so how do I go about that?
[14:09] <kbringard> does anyone know why the preseed partman atomic recipe seems to be creating / and /home, instead of just /?
[14:10] <Ycarene> ikonia - Seems not long ago they were hot to move on to Wayland.
[14:10] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: well I dont know much about what you are doing but if you are running the script with sudo <script> just try sudo -E <script> instead ?
[14:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, happens with a different device as well
[14:10] <ikonia> Ycarene: yeah, you'll find people on the project open their mouths to make big promises / statments without much of a rush to back down or clarify that it can't/won't happen yet
[14:10] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: the problem is this, keys are chmod 600 so only the user who owns them or root can read them.  if you are sudo'ed as root, it may just be an issue where it is looking into root's .ssh for id_rsa instead of whatever user is running sudo... although that may not be the case
[14:11] <chadale> q: what I want to do is the following: take my current laptop image/windows install and make that a virtual machine within an ubuntu install.
[14:11] <chadale> is this possible?
[14:11] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: I dont know enough about your script or your keys to really tell you whats wrong :)
[14:12] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I can't explain if that's how the devices are meant to behave or not, I can only suggest that is where the problem you are seeing appears to come from
[14:12] <WhereIsMySpoon> that isnt how they are supposed to behave, ikonia
[14:12] <WhereIsMySpoon> ive worked with them for a while now
[14:12] <crazydip> what is the default console font?
[14:13] <theadmin> chadale: Sure, there are 2 ways: mount the real hard drive in the VM, or take an image and mount the image.
[14:13] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so where does the devices/computer get their own IP's from - where is that setup / configured ?
[14:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> er
[14:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> not sure sorry
[14:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> again, i am no network expert
[14:13] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: this isn't networking, this is the devices operation
[14:14] <gumus> hi all
[14:14] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you'll need to find how where the IP's come from, as that will be a big part of the puzzle
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> hm ok one sec
[14:14] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: at the minute it's too much guess work
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> yea
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> i get you
[14:14] <gumus> will resizing windows partition for dual boot cause data loss ?
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> it can do
[14:14] <theadmin> gumus: Not if you do it right (gparted can do it right, for instance)
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> ^
[14:15] <chadale> theadmin: so I could do the ubuntu installer from ISO (to resize the existing windows partition which is massive), then mount the windows partition from ubuntu? I am presuming this would still leave me the option ot boot directly into windows if I wanted?
[14:15] <ikonia> gumus: there is a risk with any re-sizing
[14:15] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ?
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, this behaviour doesnt happen on different computers btw
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> the ^ was me agreeing with theadmin
[14:15] <auronandace> gumus: always possible but not usually probable, make sure you have backups just in case
[14:15] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: understood
[14:15] <gumus> for example
[14:15] <ikonia> gumus: don't need an example
[14:16] <theadmin> chadale: Sure, that works
[14:16] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: I see. Actually, if I run my script like this: python deploy.py, it will perfectly fetch the repo because keys are added to the remote server from where I'm cloning.
[14:16] <gumus> during the installation let's say If I re-arrange windows partition will I lose the data inside?
[14:16] <auronandace> gumus: always possible but not usually probable, make sure you have backups just in case
[14:16] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: but if run with sudo,it wont work
[14:16] <ateam__> hi - need to play a .3gpp file - how to embed this in the browser that the totem-plugin ist called..totem can play it...
[14:16] <ikonia> gumus: did you not read what people said
[14:16] <RedViper> Hi :D
[14:16] <ikonia> gumus: it shouldn't do, but there is always a risk
[14:16] <ikonia> gumus: no need for examples
[14:17] <gumus> I see. and which format should I use for ubuntu
[14:17] <ikonia> gumus: what ever you want
[14:17] <gumus> ext2, ext 3 etc.
[14:17] <rexor> gumus, ext4
[14:17] <ikonia> gumus: ext4 is current
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> ext4, yea
[14:17] <auronandace> gumus: ext4 is default nowadays
[14:17] <gumus> alright
[14:17] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: that is because when you run it with sudo you are no longer running as your user, you are running as the uid and gid of the root user.  Therefore it not longer looks in your ~/.ssh/ for your key
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> however the ubuntu installer should do that for you
[14:18] <theadmin> gumus: ext4 is recommended, use ext2 for /boot if you plan to use some old bootloader though.
[14:18] <anyon> gumus, I did resize the win partition with gedit and i made it nw
[14:18] <chadale> theadmin: great, thanks.
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> gedit?
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> you mean gparted?
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> gedit is a text editor xD
[14:18] <anyon> gumus: also did resize it with epm and it had no harm
[14:18] <anyon> yes, Im drunk sorry lol
[14:18] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: using the -E flag should preserve the env and allow it to use the environment of the user who ran the sudo command.  Why do you need to run the command with sudo?
[14:19] <gumus> alright. after all how many partitions I need to have a proper ubuntu
[14:19] <gumus> like swaparea etc.
[14:19] <anyon> gumus: 2 or 3
[14:19] <anyon> your choice
[14:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> 3 if you count swap, 1 boot, 1 swap, 1 normal
[14:19] <sw0rdfish> heya guys
[14:19] <RedViper> I have an external hard disk and when I was copying a game file on to it which was 12GB it came up with an error  a quarter into copying saying it can't copy because the file is too big. Do I format the hard disk as NTFS format?
[14:19] <anyon> WhereIsMySpoon not necesarily
[14:19] <sw0rdfish> how can I extract a .bin file?
[14:19] <anyon> you can have /boot on /
[14:19] <rexor> gumus, i think it is recommended to have separate partition for /home
[14:19] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: That's a binary, just run it
[14:19] <rexor> gumus, so u can easly do backups
[14:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> mm i guess
[14:20] <gumus> I see.
[14:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> but its better to have a separate boot partition
[14:20] <anyon> rexor but again not necesarily.
[14:20] <theadmin> !who | WhereIsMySpoon
[14:20] <rexor> gumus, or if u will reinstal system u can easly plugin that partition to new instance of system
[14:20] <rexor> anyon, ye
[14:20] <gumus> I also remember sth like ``logical` ?
[14:20] <sw0rdfish> theadmin, well it doesn't open
[14:20] <anyon> The / + swap is the most recommended for an usual user
[14:20] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: chmod +x blah.bin && ./blah.bin
[14:20] <gumus> okay
[14:21] <sw0rdfish> cannot execute binary file
[14:21] <henkye> theadmin: isnt it bin CD image sw0rdfish meant ?
[14:21] <RedViper> I have an external hard disk and when I was copying a game file on to it which was 12GB it came up with an error a quarter into copying saying it can't copy because the file is too big. Do I format the hard disk as NTFS format?
[14:21] <kbringard> anyon: since we're talking about partitioning… any idea why when I do d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic in my preseed, it still creates /home?
[14:21] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: Hm, probably not exactly what I thought it was then (extensions mean nothing in Linux)
[14:22] <anyon> RedViper: NTFS you're saying?
[14:22] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: Convert it to an ISO I guess, there are tools for that.
[14:22] <ateam__> any ideas to embed .3gpp files into browser under linux (audio)
[14:22] <sw0rdfish> henkye, yes it is... I'm gonna try it on my win7 and check it out there just in case the file is corrupt or somethin
[14:23] <henkye> sw0rdfish: there is cdemu application for mounting many image types
[14:23] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: great success?
[14:23] <RedViper> anyon: Ya, why how do I make it copy the whole 12GB from my computer onto my external?
[14:23] <anyon> omg I can't even read well.. I'm dizzy... See you when I get better lol
[14:23] <bigpotato> who can  recommend me a channel for qt beginer
[14:24] <auronandace> !alis | bigpotato
[14:24] <dorong> I've created a RAID10 array using mdadm on /dev/md0 and haven't created a filesystem on it (nor an lvm volume over it) before I restarted the machine (ubuntu 11.10), and after the restart the device was name /dev/md127 instead of the /dev/md0 it was created as.
[14:24] <RedViper> anyon: Well, any help? :D
[14:24] <anyon> RedViper, what csize?
[14:24] <dorong> why ?
[14:25] <RedViper> anyon: What size what? The Hard Disk is 320GB and the file is 12GB
[14:25] <sw0rdfish> ok
[14:26] <geirha> RedViper: I'm guessing you currently have FAT32 then? which has a filesize limit of 4GiB
[14:27] <anyon> what's the clustersize, RedViper?
[14:27] <pksadiq> how can I disable a keyboard key ("F2")  using loadkeys?
[14:27] <RedViper> geirha: Yes, what do I do?
[14:27] <anyon> yeah I tought what geirha said at first
[14:27] <anyon> format it to NTFS, RedViper
[14:28] <anyon> NTFS configuration tool
[14:28] <anyon> look for it in ubuntu software center
[14:28] <geirha> RedViper: In windows you can convert FAT32 to NTFS without losing the data.
[14:28] <anyon> geirha, Ubuntu support in here.. lawl
[14:28] <geirha> anyon: Ubuntu's not so good with ntfs though :)
[14:29] <henkye> geirha: huh ?
[14:29] <anyon> geirha, lol?
[14:29] <auronandace> geirha: not so good in what way?
[14:29] <RedViper> 	
[14:29] <RedViper> anyon: I tried with disk utility and it said it could not format it because it was mounted.
[14:29] <geirha> auronandace: It can't fix it. Or has that changed since last I looked?
[14:29] <anyon> RedViper, how aout mounting it?
[14:29] <anyon> and use NTFS configuration tool
[14:30] <auronandace> RedViper: formatting will erase the data on it
[14:30] <anyon> look for it in software center
[14:30] <RedViper> anyon:	auronandace : geirha:Ya I dont mind there is nothing on it....
[14:31] <geirha> RedViper: Unless there's finally a fully functioning fsck.ntfs, you need to have a windows install around to be able to fix the filesystem if it gets corrupted.
[14:31] <anyon> RedViper, just get the NTFS configuration tool arleady.
[14:31] <auronandace> geirha: i've never had a problem with ntfs so i've never needed to fix it, but i think you are right yes, i think you need to use windows chkdsk to fix it
[14:31] <anyon> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[14:31] <eagle-eyes-UK> sw0rdfish try chmod a+x {filename}.bin      this makes the file executeable
[14:31] <dtcrshr> hello everyone. Im about 2 days now trying to get my dell 530 wifi working. followed all the different methods in this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[14:31] <henkye> eagle-eyes-UK: it is CD image
[14:32] <elijah> How can I make the background desktop images fade between instead of just change?
[14:32] <dtcrshr> but yet still i have no wireless. on the aditional drivers the broadcom proprietary is active, but I have no wireless interface, can anyone help me troubleshoot this, or inform if this wireless works at all on ubuntu 11.10?
[14:32] <geirha> RedViper: And if you don't intend to use the external drive with a windows system, ever, you could just format it with ext4 instead.
[14:32] <RedViper> anyon: What is it's name?
[14:32] <anyon> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config RedViper
[14:33] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-bincue-files-to-iso-in-ubuntu.html
[14:33] <anyon> cut the RedViper out of it tough.
[14:33] <eagle-eyes-UK> henkye: oh....most strange thought they were .iso
[14:33] <RedViper> geirha: I have windows 7 installed on a dual boot
[14:33] <sw0rdfish> oh
[14:33] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, thanks for all the help, i got it fixed
[14:33] <theadmin> eagle-eyes-UK: The .bin+.cue images are audio CDs usually
[14:33] <henkye> eagle-eyes-UK: .bin CD images arent that rare .-)
[14:33] <RedViper> anyon: Huh?
[14:33] <sw0rdfish> winrar in win7 first said it was "unknown file format or damaged" but when I tried with PowerISO it worked so it must be ok
[14:34] <RedViper> anyon: Name of the program?
[14:34] <geirha> RedViper: Right, then NTFS should be a safe bet.
[14:34] <anyon> RedViper press CTRL+T will open a new terminal and write in there sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[14:34] <sw0rdfish> I will just extract it to a folder on my usb and put it on usb and get it back here on ubuntu
[14:34] <anyon> or just look for NTFS Configuration Tool in software center
[14:35] <anyon> or get in windows > computer > right click on your drive where the HDD is then select format and choose NTFS
[14:35] <anyon> ^ RedViper
[14:35] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: oh, please explain
[14:35] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I'm interested
[14:35] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: look at my link
[14:36] <sw0rdfish> k
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> /etc/network/interfaces was broken in some form or another
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> which is where i define usb connections
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> i regenerated it via a script
[14:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ahhhh that is the key bit of information,
[14:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you where defining the IP's in the interface file
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> yes
[14:36] <ikonia> ok, there we go then,
[14:37] <ikonia> that makes sense
[14:37] <RedViper> anyon: Well I in Ubuntu now and it's a problem to get into windows - Ok i did it through the terminal and it's done, now?
[14:37] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: well done
[14:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont know how it was broken but it works now ^^
[14:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> thx again anyhow ikonia :) have a good weekend!
[14:37] <anyon> RedViper now just run it
[14:37] <ikonia> you too
[14:37] <anyon> type ntfs-config in the terminal
[14:38] <RedViper> anyon: Ya and how will it know to format the external?
[14:38] <anyon> RedViper: It will not, you tell it where's the drive and how to format it
[14:39] <eagle-eyes-UK> i use .iso and .cdr myself, never knew about the .bin files for CD's.....another bit of knowledge for the old noodle
[14:39] <RedViper> anyon:  How do I tell it? Whats the command
[14:39] <henkye> eagle-eyes-UK: or maybe u are not a warez guy .-)
[14:40] <RedViper> anyon:  And how do I check where it is?
[14:40] <anyon> RedViper, It has a pretty handsome GUI. You could use it.. instead of using comand line wich is a little bit harder
[14:40] <eagle-eyes-UK> henkye: lol still a neewbie tbh
[14:40] <RedViper> anyon:  I the GUI in applications?
[14:41] <rt> my proxy server blocks some sites like facebook
[14:41] <RedViper> anyon: And what is it called?
[14:41] <rt> is there any way to bypass proxy server
[14:41] <anyon> brb
[14:41] <rt> blocks
[14:42] <auronandace> rt: to me block facebook is a feature not a bug :)
[14:42] <RedViper> anyon: ?
[14:42] <sagarchalise> Is it possible to upgrade from alpha to beta from iso ?
[14:43] <dtcrshr> do i need ndiswrapper in ubuntu 11.10? or all the modules for wifi already working? Iv followed many guides online but I cant have wireless. on lspci its displayed, but it simply wont work, should i come back to ndiswrapper? the forum posts relating to it are mostly from 2008 or earlyer
[14:43] <auronandace> !12.04 | sagarchalise
[14:43] <sagarchalise> I want to upgrade packages only
[14:43] <dtcrshr> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/712053

[14:50] <rt> is there any way to bypass proxy server
[14:50] <airtonix> !repeat
[14:50] <airtonix> rt: there is, but if your workplace/school is blocking it then it's for a good reason.
[14:51] <MagePsycho> "curl http://www.mydomain.com/media.tar.gz | tar -zxv" ---> not working for me.. what i want is run time download with unzipping so that i don't have to download tar file as my server have not enough space
[14:51] <airtonix> rt: which is that you spend too much time on facebook instead of researching how to get past proxies in order to get on facebook
[14:51] <Martin79> Hi, is there some application in ubuntu 11.10 repos to set a grub password? (password only for console commands, not for normal boot options)
[14:51] <rt> airtronix: it is blocking youtube also
[14:52] <airtonix> rt: i guess there's a good reason for that too
[14:52] <rt> airtronix: like wise it is blocking nano tubes
[14:52] <airtonix> rt: maybe you should discuss the matter with your network administrator
[14:52] <rt> they want to save bandwidth
[14:53] <airtonix> rt: as opposed to breaking acceptable usage poilicy and get yourself fired/ expelled
[14:53] <ikonia> rt: is there something you want in regard to this channels support of ubuntu ?
[14:53] <fhsales> hello people. i am having some issues with partitioning disc in ubuntu 11.10 installation.can someone help me?
[14:53] <mahyar_> joni #ubuntu-ir
[14:53] <rt> but still i want to know is there any ways to do it?
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> rt  ask your emplyer
[14:54] <ikonia> rt: the correct process is to contact your network administrator and ask for an exception to the blocking rule
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> o
[14:54] <Martin79> Hi, is there some application in ubuntu 11.10 repos to set a grub password? startup-manager did it for grub legacy
[14:54] <rt> thanks guys for your support....!
[14:55] <fhsales> does someone know how to partition the disc during ubuntu 11.10 installation?
[14:55] <ikonia> fhsales: the ubuntu installer will offer partition options/guidence
[14:56] <fhsales> ikonia:  how many partitions should i have for linux?
[14:56] <ikonia> fhsales: as many as you want,
[14:57] <ikonia> fhsales: it's up to you how you lay it out, have a little research for disk layouts in linux
[14:57] <dorong> I've created a RAID10 array using mdadm on /dev/md0 and haven't created a filesystem on it (nor an lvm volume over it) before I restarted the machine (ubuntu 11.10), and after the restart the device was name /dev/md127 instead of the /dev/md0 it was created as. anybody knows why should that happen ?
[14:57] <ikonia> dorong it's probably running in a split mode, (didn't assemble properly when you booted)
[14:58] <fhsales> ikonia: is there a way, with a single HDD, install linux and leave one partition for installing windows and another for windows files?
[14:59] <szal> fhsales: at least 2 (1 for file system, 1 for swap)
[14:59] <szal> fhsales: yes, you can partition manually or in advance
[14:59] <ikonia> fhsales: yes
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  if you want dual boot: first install windows, then linux, or windows will ruin your grub menu
[15:00] <fhsales> MonkeyDust: Ok, thanks.
[15:00] <fhsales> thanks people.
[15:00] <fhsales> szal:  the file system partition should be root yes?
[15:01] <Martin79> Hi, is there some application in ubuntu 11.10 repos to set a grub password?
[15:01] <szal> fhsales: of course
[15:01] <auska> Hi! I've some .db files that I would like to read their content. How can I do it?
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  how skilled are you with partitioning
[15:02] <mi3> Hello people!
[15:02] <fhsales> MonkeyDust: i know the basics. the hard thing is not to partition, but to choose how to do it.
[15:02] <deepsa> hi mi3 !
[15:02] <ikonia> auska: what application do they come from
[15:02] <auska> ikonia, nessus
[15:02] <szal> fhsales: swap = 1.5 times installed RAM size..  and a separate partition for /home is advisable; in that case the / (root) partition should be something like 15-25 GB and the /home partition as large as you wish if you want to store data there
[15:03] <Zaitzev> fhsales: 10-15 GB for /, 1.1xRAM for swap, rest for /home
[15:03] <Zaitzev> that's what I did anyway
[15:03] <Captain_Proton> anyone else having a problem login into gnome-shell after the update today?
[15:03] <ikonia> auska: no idea what that application is
[15:04] <mi3> I would like to customise my .bashrc file, I managed to get some fortune cookies but I need some more customization, i want to make it more stylish, can someone provide me with sample .bashrc file in pastebin? I would be very glad.
[15:05] <dorong> ikonia: this is the command I used to create it - mdadm /dev/md0 --create --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/xvdh1 /dev/xvdh2 /dev/xvdh3 /dev/xvdh4
[15:05] <auska> ikonia, but if you have a .db (is a database provably sqlite) how can you read it's information?
[15:05] <fhsales> szal:  but for windows?
[15:05] <ikonia> auska: you use a client that can read that infomation eg: an sqlite client
[15:05] <szal> fhsales: depends on the Windows version
[15:05] <ikonia> dorong: looks solid
[15:05] <ikonia> dorong: what is the output of cat /proc/mdstat
[15:06] <Zaitzev> .db files are encrypted for the most part tho
[15:06] <fhsales> szal:  i wanted to do something like: 15gb for root, 10gb for swap, 45 gb for home. then, 30gb for windows, and 400gb for a fat 32 partition to store data.
[15:06] <Zaitzev> and sometimes they are readable as sqlite
[15:06] <aaGp> 30gb for windows is not enough
[15:07] <Zaitzev> yes it is, as long as you don't install a whole lot :p
[15:07] <dorong> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/865212/
[15:07] <fhsales> for installing things i was leaving this 400gb partition.
[15:07] <aaGp> i just did my windows partition
[15:07] <aaGp> trust me
[15:07] <aaGp> just the install
[15:07] <aaGp> took me 20gb
[15:07] <ikonia> dorong: ok, so that all looks in sync
[15:07] <sipior> ikonia: dorong: please forgive the interruption, but this thread may be of some interest: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1764861):
[15:08] <fhsales> people, do you think this will work?
[15:08] <auronandace> fhsales: 10gb for swap is a bit much unless you have like 8gb of ram
[15:08] <ikonia> sipior: looks useful, a good interuption !
[15:08] <fhsales> auronandace:  i have 8gb of ram.:P
[15:08] <auronandace> fhsales: ah, good
[15:08] <mi3> deepsa have you customized the terminal?
[15:09] <fhsales> so hereś the thing. i will create a C: partition 40gb for windows 7 ultimate
[15:09] <auronandace> fhsales: the other thing i would say is fat32 doesn't support files bigger than 4gb
[15:09] <fhsales> a D partition with 370 for files. this one i should format fat32 or Ext4?
[15:09] <aaGp> give it a little bit more to win7 like a 50Gb..
[15:09] <fhsales> auronandace: oh thanks, so i should format it how?
[15:09] <auronandace> fhsales: and if you are using vista or 7 and you want to use that partition to install things on it needs to be ntfs
[15:10] <fhsales> auronandace:  ok, so i shall make 2 partitions, C and D, NTFS.
[15:10] <fhsales> and them 3 partitions for linux.
[15:10] <fhsales> will this work?
[15:10] <mi3> i had a video of this terminal can I make it look like this? http://imagebin.org/201705
[15:11] <aaGp> yeap
[15:11] <szal> fhsales: w/ 8 GB RAM you sure want more than 30 GB for C:, or put the pagefile on D:, then 30 GB will do
[15:11] <auronandace> fhsales: you'd need to use logical partitions, put the linux ones in an extended partition
[15:11] <mi3> see that lycan and all that? I need that, can someone suggest how to?
[15:11] <fhsales> auronandace:  how i do that?
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  what auronandace says, is what i have
[15:11] <fhsales> auronandace:  the problem is because i have a single HDD.
[15:12] <fhsales> MonkeyDust: humm.i see. how did you partition yours?
[15:12] <mi3> can I make the terminal look like this? http://imagebin.org/201705 ? can someone suggest?
[15:12] <auronandace> fhsales: create an extended partition and in the extended partition you put all your logical partitions (the linux ones)
[15:12] <Gentoo64> mi3, change the ps1
[15:12] <szal> fhsales: make a primary partition for Windows C:, and an extended partition in the rest of the space which you further divide into logical partitions for everything else
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  http://paste.ubuntu.com/865220/
[15:13] <geirha> fhsales: for historic reasons, a harddrive can only have 4 partitions. To work around this, you can make one those 4 an "extended partition". And inside this special extended partition, you can make many logical partitions.
[15:13] <aaGp> moneydust, yes u can
[15:13] <auronandace> fhsales: i also put my storage partition in there too, because it frees up the other primary partitions for other os's
[15:13] <dorong_> sipior: well, that details my problem exactly (except for the raid5 instead of my raid10, but that doesn't matter). I'm checking it now
[15:13] <mi3> I tried to change it but i dont know how to I dont know that kind of programming language,  i managed to get the time and date thats all i could do Gentoo64
[15:13] <Argafal> hi folks. I configured a xubuntu 11.10 installation in a way that the default user does not need a password but is readily logged-in after boot-up. I'd like to change this now and get a login manager instead - can someone tell me how to do this please?
[15:14] <twotimebooter> hello
[15:14] <phabi0> hello
[15:14] <twotimebooter> hi everyone
[15:14] <twotimebooter> i plan on installing ubunut on my comp
[15:14] <twotimebooter> yahooo
[15:14] <twotimebooter> need some hel
[15:14] <twotimebooter> p
[15:14] <FloodBot1> twotimebooter: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:14] <phabi0> I am in dire need of some help as well
[15:14] <twotimebooter> soory floodbot1
[15:14] <phabi0> twotimebooter I might be able to help you
[15:15] <Zaitzev> one thing is for sure
[15:15] <Zaitzev> people in here are really helpful
[15:15] <szal> twotimebooter, phabi0: you'll be better helped if you ask an actual question
[15:15] <twotimebooter> So my computer currently has Windows 7 (which i want to keep). I plan on installing Ubuntu Ocelot and Linux Mint 12. What's the best way of answering the installation questions that Ubuntu will  pose?
[15:16] <Zaitzev> depending on what time it is ofc ;D
[15:16] <fhsales> auronandace: how do i create a extedend partition?
[15:16] <phabi0> I need to know how to get the alps touchpad drivers working in debian 6.0.4
[15:16] <john_doe_jr> When I do a sudo apt-get install eclipse...why is the eclipse version 3.5 (Galileo) which is an older version of eclipse?
[15:16] <mi3> Gentoo64, can you suggest how can I do that?
[15:16] <airtonix> twotimebooter: with careful determination
[15:16] <Zaitzev> twotimebooter: You can do one of two things, dual boot or have Ubuntu on it's own (by disconnecting the Windows drive)
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  are you familiar with fdisk?
[15:16] <auronandace> fhsales: using gparted
[15:16] <twotimebooter> I mean: I want Linux Mint 12 and Ubuntu Ocelot to share the same "home" folder
[15:16] <szal> phabi0: try #debian on OFTC
[15:16] <fhsales> MonkeyDust:  no.
[15:16] <airtonix> twotimebooter: prepare for disaster
[15:17] <Zaitzev> lol
[15:17] <mi3> Gentoo64 here is how my .bashrc file looks like http://pastebin.com/UXNwb59e
[15:17] <airtonix> twotimebooter: mint is not supported in this channel
[15:17] <Zaitzev> airtonix: I can't imagine that being safe at all
[15:17] <fhsales> auronandace: i cant create that while installing windows or linux?
[15:17] <twotimebooter> airtonix: it's not a mint question
[15:17] <phabi0> can you provide full server url please szal
[15:17] <szal> phabi0: irc.oftc.net
[15:17] <phabi0> thank you
[15:17] <airtonix> twotimebooter: in fact it is, since you wish to pollute your ubuntu home folder with linux mint (which isn't supported in this channel)
[15:17] <mi3> I want to get that lycan and all the arrows and dashes that this guy did in his terminal [I already got the fortune cookies] Gentoo64
[15:18] <auronandace> fhsales: i prepare my partitions before an install, so i use a livecd (partedmagic)
[15:18] <twotimebooter> airtonix: should I be ignoring you?
[15:18] <geirha> I've shared the same homefolder between redhat, suse, ubuntu and solaris. Works fine.
[15:18] <twotimebooter> geirha: how?
[15:18] <airtonix> twotimebooter: sure, if you want to bork your ubuntu installation
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  first step to get familiar: type sudo fdisk -l
[15:18] <geirha> twotimebooter: nfs-mounted /home
[15:18] <fhsales> auronandace:  OH. the problem is that i do not have any OS installed on my HD.
[15:18] <szal> airtonix: where did he speak of a shared home folder?
[15:18] <twotimebooter> geirha: how did you answer the questions during installiation?
[15:18] <szal> airtonix: ah, nvm
[15:18] <fhsales> MonkeyDust:  i am without linux at the moment.:/
[15:18] <auronandace> fhsales: you don't need an os on your harddrive to use a livecd
[15:19] <fhsales> but i am reading an article about fdisk
[15:19] <mi3> Can someone suggest how can I customize my terminal? I want it to look like this http://imagebin.org/201705 and here is the paste of my .bashrc file
[15:19] <szal> fhsales: use gparted, way easier
[15:19] <geirha> twotimebooter: Ah, I believe you have to choose manual partitioning
[15:19] <fhsales> auronandace:  so, i will use a usb to run ubuntu.
[15:19] <twotimebooter> geirha: ok. so how does that go?
[15:19] <roasted> Hello! Does anybody know where I can download the multitouch driver for Ubuntu?
[15:19] <twotimebooter> geirha: i have no idea how to properly do a manual partion.
[15:20] <fhsales> auronandace: i will try here.:P
[15:20] <geirha> twotimebooter: Then it's perhaps best you learn about partitioning so you understand what you need to do.
[15:20] <LordDeath> how can I see which packages one package needs?
[15:21] <geirha> twotimebooter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[15:21] <mi3> I want to get that lycan and all the arrows and dashes that this guy did in his terminal [I already got the fortune cookies] Gentoo64

[15:26] <sipior> mi3: the build docs are pretty explicit: http://bashish.sourceforge.net/doc.html
[15:26] <roasted> Has anybody installed Ubuntu on a Macbook? I'm trying to get the touchpad to respond more smoothly.
[15:26] <theadmin> !mac | roasted
[15:27] <tazjin> roasted: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch
[15:27] <roasted> tazjin: already been there :/
[15:27] <tazjin> roasted: But sadly there are no drivers even close the Apple's own drivers
[15:27] <fhsales> auronandace: ok. i have a USB Ubuntu 11.10 installer, and what do i do now?
[15:27] <tazjin> *to >.>
[15:27] <zul0> where i can find ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-amd64 md5 hash?
[15:27] <mi3> sipior: it has got nothing about ps1 or similar thing and I cant even download the deb file!
[15:27] <roasted> tazjin: I'm not trying to make it work LIKE apple. I'm trying to make it work... half decent.
[15:27] <roasted> tazjin: I have to press SO hard to get my finger to be recognized.
[15:28] <fhsales> auronandace:  or to partition disk i need another  program?
[15:28] <tazjin> roasted: I am running Ubuntu on one of my iMacs which is connected to a cable mouse and a Magic Trackpad, I've given up on using the Magic Trackpad with Ubuntu :/
[15:28] <auronandace> fhsales: a ubuntu livecd or usb will work, it should have gparted on it
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  boot the live usb stick and use gparted
[15:29] <auronandace> fhsales: i prefer to use partedmagic myself
[15:29] <roasted> tazjin: from what I read, some people with mac/ubuntu complain that the trackpad doesn't act like it did on the macs. I could care less, I just want it to work like a lenovo or dell.. you know, normal. :P I'm kind of surprised it seems like a no go when othe rpeople are reporting decent, but not perfect success.
[15:29] <mi3> what is zsh aaGp? will those scripts work on ubuntu in the 1st place?
[15:29] <sipior> mi3: looks like the package link is broken. try downloading the source code, and building that. (it doesn't appear to be in the common repositories)
[15:30] <aaGp> it does, google it..
[15:30] <tazjin> zul0: http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ubuntu-cdimage/releases/10.04/release/MD5SUMS
[15:30] <mi3> sipior: now thats really interesting..
[15:30] <Dark|Code> can megaploit in ubuntu?
[15:31] <tazjin> roasted: So by normal you mean unsatisfactory? :P I think your best bet is to use an external mouse while on Ubuntu.
[15:31] <Dark|Code> can tools back track in ubuntu????
[15:31] <MonkeyDust> Dark|Code  what's megaploit?
[15:31] <Gentoo64> lol
[15:31] <mi3> never compiled a source code before but the docs speak 4 themselves thanks sipior and aaGp
[15:31] <roasted> tazjin: from what I'm seeing, some people successfully get their touchpad working like normal, but not with supported gestures like apple has. In their minds, unsatisfactory. In my mind, that's what I want.
[15:31] <sipior> mi3: yep, have fun.
[15:32] <auronandace> Dark|Code: want to use backtrack tools? stick to using backtrack
[15:32] <auronandace> !backtrack | Dark|Code
[15:32] <mohammadtiti> hi everyone
[15:32] <Dark|Code> megaploit that tools in back track
[15:32] <mi3> sipior, a question, the imagebin link that i posted on this irc, u must have seen it, was this done on ubuntu?
[15:32] <sipior> mi3: i don't know.
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> Dark|Code  you mean mega-upload?
[15:33] <Gentoo64> Dark|Code, you can install them but you might need ppas or do them from source if ubuntu dont have them in repos
[15:33] <Dark|Code> not
[15:33] <wiz_> Hi, how can one disable suspend while other users are logged (ssh) in .
[15:33] <mi3> sipior, can you share your .bashrc file with me?
[15:33] <Gentoo64> Dark|Code, its metasploit not megaploit
[15:33] <Dark|Code> i use ubuntu.. can in ubuntu ada backtrack
[15:33] <sipior> mi3: it's not very exciting.
[15:33] <mohammadtiti> my linux and windows7 doesn't load up.....the grub is damaged....is there anyone who can tell me what should i do? i don't have an optical drive(cd,dvd drive)....it has a line which reads:no such partition.....grub_rescue:>
[15:33] <mi3> is it similar to that one? sipior?
[15:34] <sipior> mi3: no, it isn't.
[15:34] <mi3> ok
[15:34] <auronandace> !grub | mohammadtiti
[15:34] <Dark|Code> yes metasploit :D
[15:34] <Dark|Code> but my connection slow..
[15:34] <szal> mohammadtiti: use Super GRUB2 Disk to boot *buntu, then reinstall Grub
[15:34] <sipior> mi3: here's my fancy prompt: "tanelorn:~ sipior$ "
[15:34] <Gentoo64> Dark|Code, youll have to read up on installing packages in ubuntu
[15:34] <Dark|Code> can my connection so full speed??
[15:35] <gener1c> ok, for some reason , in the last 2 weeks my ubuntu keeps on freezing
[15:35] <mi3> not much, ehh?? still its good 4 u sipior :)
[15:35] <szal> Dark|Code: can you speak proper English please?
[15:35] <gener1c> so i changed from unity to regular gnome...
[15:35] <Dark|Code> i not have packages ..
[15:35] <gener1c> but now it still freezes but my kernel panics
[15:35] <Gentoo64> !language | Dark|Code
[15:35] <mi3> everyone has their own customized machines u agree sipior?
[15:35] <szal> Gentoo64: wrong factoid :P
[15:35] <sipior> mi3: sure.
[15:36] <wiz_>  how can one disable suspend while other users are logged (ssh) in ?
[15:36] <Dark|Code> saya bingung jadinya
[15:36] <Gentoo64> szal, well, the professional bit was sort of right
[15:36] <mi3> hey Gentoo64 welcome back [ iguess] u wanna suggest me about those ps1 ?
[15:36] <szal> !id | Dark|Code
[15:36] <Dark|Code> thanks
[15:37] <Gentoo64> mi3, youll find loads on google
[15:37] <gener1c> so... this is my first kernel panic
[15:37] <Gentoo64> mi3, customize ps1 search for that
[15:37] <gener1c> am i supposed to run around the room screaming ?
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> gener1c  coming of age :p
[15:37] <mi3> let me try that Gentoo64
[15:37] <ikonia> mi3: can you stop asking random people to share their bashrc's with you
[15:37] <ikonia> gener1c: you're supposed to read the info the panic gives you and work out/work with people the problem to resolve it
[15:37] <Gentoo64> mi3, default is fine though lol
[15:37] <gener1c> MonkeyDust: im using linux for quite some time now, its weird i didnt get one already
[15:38] <ikonia> gener1c: it's not weird they are mostly down to hardware problems
[15:38] <gener1c> shit
[15:38] <gener1c> i knew it
[15:38] <Pici> gener1c: mind your language here place.
[15:38] <gener1c> pardon the language
[15:38] <ikonia> gener1c: no need for that language
[15:38] <Pici> er, please.
[15:38] <Gentoo64> gener1c, any messages with the panic?
[15:38] <mi3> ikonia this is irc, I can ask whomever I want, its upto them to respond, does it really matter to you, ehh?
[15:38] <ikonia> mi3: just asking random people "can I see your bashrc" won't get you very far,
[15:38] <gener1c> i didnt save them... i will tell you the next time it happens...
[15:39] <ikonia> mi3: there are plenty of examples on the net, most peoples are default
[15:39] <Dark|Code> kenapa tidak bisa tersambung di #ubuntu-id
[15:39] <mohammadtiti> dear ubottu: that won't help me...because i did try it before...but nothing came out of it
[15:39] <gener1c> how to i save them by the way?
[15:39] <Gentoo64> gener1c, sometimes you can see them on screen, like modules causing it or whatever
[15:39] <gener1c> ubuntu dropped to Terminal mode
[15:39] <ikonia> gener1c: you can't save them by default, you need a too like netdump (for example)
[15:39] <mi3> ikonia thanks for sharing what you think
[15:39] <chown_> Does anybody have a ubuntu installation with a radeon 6470?
[15:39] <giovanni_> ciao
[15:40] <giovanni_> !list
[15:40] <gener1c> i think it was something with the harddrive
[15:40] <Gentoo64> :)
[15:40] <chown_> im having a overheat problem with ubuntu by default instalation cuz of this device: radeon 6470
[15:40] <pirx> hello! is there some sane way to downgrade the kernel in the server? i have 10.04 server (2.6.32), and would like to test something like 2.6.24
[15:40] <phi__> does anybody know of a linux type program that is like hotspot vpn
[15:40] <gener1c> ill take a pictue (sounds weird to do that , screenshot with a camera)
[15:40] <ikonia> pirx: 10.04 didn't have a .24 kernel
[15:41] <mi3> chwon_, stick some extra coolers inside, ehh?
[15:41] <mohammadtiti> thanks szal....i got the drift...
[15:42] <fhsales> auronandace: one last doubt. is it better to have a big NTFS partition for data storage, or have a big EXT4 partition?

[15:42] <fhsales> MonkeyDust:  same question to you
[15:42] <mi3> thanks ubottu, thats 1 way to invoke you[ i discovered that today]
[15:42] <auronandace> fhsales: ntfs if you are sharing with windows
[15:42] <szal> fhsales: afaik there's no proper Ext4 driver for Windows, and all Ext drivers for Windows are somewhat lacking; NTFS on Linux works heaps better
[15:42] <chown_> Gentoo64: i`ve already followed this tuto and got nothing
[15:42] <Gentoo64> ah ok
[15:43] <gener1c> Gentoo64: what about a weird problem i have with network printing, when i print from a client to my ubuntu server that doesnt have ubuntu on it , the printer prints @pjl commands instead of the print job itself...
[15:43] <mi3> !sudo
[15:43] <Gentoo64> gener1c, no idea sorry
[15:43] <gener1c> ok thanks
[15:44] <mi3> !root
[15:44] <szal> gener1c: huh?  you Ubuntu server doesn't have Ubuntu on it?
[15:44] <Gentoo64> mi3, no need to spam ubottu :)
[15:44] <ikonia> mi3: if you need to use the bot a lot or test with the bot, please pm the bot

[15:44] <me-1> hi...how to decrease size of launcher icons..?
[15:45] <mi3> hey hey i was just trying something new, wont you let me do that?
[15:45] <w3bg33k> I have a turnkey linux VM (10.04) that has the firewall blocking all traffic, including SHH.  The VM has no GUI, only uses Webmin on port 12321, but that's also blocked.  Any suggestions?
[15:45] <dorong> can I run update-initramfs on an ubuntu machine in ec2 ? or the instances created there from ami's are not meant for such commands ?
[15:45] <gener1c> szal: no , the unbuntu server has ubuntu on it, but when the client doesnt use ubuntu the server will print @pjl lines
[15:45] <ikonia> mi3: sure, that's why we are telling you to do it in pm with the bot, then you can try stuff out all you want
[15:45] <droid2> Hi is there a 12.04 channel

[15:46] <DynamicFail> I have a collection of bash scripts that I would like to package into some sort of installable package for ubuntu so I can quickly load my "program" onto my other ubuntu machines.

[15:47] <Dr_willis> DonaldShimoda,  try the 'nomodeset and nofb' options for grub options.
[15:47] <mi3> I guess every time I log into irc, I learn something new, even if sometimes I accidentally displease others......L)
[15:48] <gener1c> szal: thanks for trying to help ...
[15:48] <zul0> before install ubuntu 10.04 i get:  "unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem", md5 was checked. someone help me?
[15:48] <john_doe_jr> I downloaded eclipse...I'd like an eclipse short cut to appear in my menu under programming but it doesn't...any ideas how to get it to do so?
[15:48] <DynamicFail> ikonia, any links or info on how I might do that?
[15:48] <DonaldShimoda> Dr_willis, in grub.cfg?
[15:48] <szal> !repeat | zul0
[15:48] <ikonia> DynamicFail: there is a packaging guide on wiki.ubuntu.com
[15:48] <w3bg33k> auronandace - I'm just trying to figure out how to get around the firewall (which apparently works well), so that I can turn it off....I have a production server that is down...

[15:49] <Dr_willis> !grub2 | DonaldShimoda
[15:49] <mi3> a simple question[ maybe very simple for you guys] which linux distro has the highest number of binary blobs? fedora? linux mint  or ubuntu[my beloved]
[15:50] <Dr_willis> DonaldShimoda,  you dont nornally edit grub.cfg directly. You can try the options on the grub menu for a one time test
[15:50] <DonaldShimoda> Dr_willis, yes, i know, thanks, i will change defualt gurb
[15:50] <Dr_willis> mi3,  clarify what yoyu mean by 'binary blob'
[15:50] <mi3> umm
[15:50] <szal> zul0: smells like a burning problem..  the live CD can also get corrupted by burning errors, bad CD, whatever..
[15:50] <DonaldShimoda> Dr_willis, i dont get why is not working fb....
[15:50] <lolcat^> Hello
[15:51] <DonaldShimoda> come back soon
[15:51] <Dr_willis> DonaldShimoda,  ive see the framebuffer conflict with some video cards/drivers
[15:51] <szal> zul0: try burning at half speed (of medium or burner, whichever is lower)
[15:51] <lolcat^> My ubuntu just drops to busybox
[15:51] <lolcat^> What to do=
[15:51] <lolcat^> ?
[15:51] <mi3> binary blob...the drivers inside the kernel to recognize and make the device work Dr_willis[ iguess]
[15:51] <Dr_willis> the whole framebuffer stuff has been flakey since it first came out years ago for me.
[15:51] <DonaldShimoda> Dr_willis, yes, is the linux history... im using ati certified drivers...
[15:51] <Dr_willis> mi3,  the kernels are all from the same base so id imagine its the same.
[15:52] <Dr_willis> DonaldShimoda,  i just always disable framebuffer, since if you are using the console. it can slow  things down from what ive seen over the years.
[15:52] <mi3> but which linux kernel has the highest? from which distro?
[15:52] <ikonia> mi3: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only, not generic linux
[15:52] <szal> mi3: the highest what?
[15:52] <me-1> what VM is avilable to ubuntu other than virtualcox..?
[15:52] <mi3> ohhh ok ok
[15:52] <me-1> box
[15:52] <Dr_willis> mi3,  the kernels all have the same features.. so i say it would be the same for them all. dependng on kernel version. perhaps ask in #linux
[15:52] <lolcat^> How can I make a bootable usb on debian?
[15:52] <auska> HI! Does anyone knows any gui client to browse a berkeley database? (.db)?

[15:53] <ranamalo> i have the vmlinuz-2.6.32-342-ec2 kernal installed on my ec2 instance, in fact it's the only kernel on the instance, but when I do a uname -r it shows 2.6.32-340-ec2.  Anyone know why that is?

[15:55] <runelind> looks like http://tech.firdooze.com/2011/11/16/how-to-instal-davicom-9601-drivers-dm9601-on-linux/ might help

[16:06] <roasted> Has anybody installed Ubuntu on a Macbook? I'm trying to get the touchpad to respond more smoothly.
[16:07] <szal> zykotic10: 'proprietary' in itself doesn't say much about redistribution policy
[16:07] <phi__> awesome thanks
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> roasted  maybe you need gpointing-device-settings
[16:09] <takpar> ohom
[16:10] <roasted> MonkeyDust: is that whats in system settings?
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> roasted  http://appnr.com/package/gsynaptics
[16:11] <aaGp> roasted, there is an option under System Setting it calls touchpad setting too
[16:11] <aaGp> u can configure what u want there.

[16:13] <enigma> ok
[16:13] <Petskull> I installed Blender 2.62 from the repos, and now I need 2.49 for its working Ogre3d exporter

[16:15] <corentin> hi
[16:15] <corentin> i have this exact same bug, except i don't have acroread installed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/716008
[16:15] <corentin> anyclue how to fix this ?
[16:16] <takpar> :/
[16:16] <aaGp> roasted, did you try already with Mouse & Touchpad settings?
[16:16] <roasted> aaGp: of course...
[16:16] <aaGp> damn, thats crazy
[16:16] <aaGp> did u already google it?
[16:17] <roasted> aaGp: of course...
[16:17] <aaGp> i mean maybe it need a service
[16:17] <roasted> aaGp: worked fine with OSX
[16:17] <aaGp> mm then i dont know
[16:18] <nmvictor> how do i read man pages for system calls, e.g how would i read the man getrusage system call?
[16:19] <Chipzzz> nmvictor: "man getrusage"
[16:19] <Pici> nmvictor: you'd need to install the manpages-dev package first.
[16:19] <zykotic10> nmvictor: ? don't you have a "man getrusage"?  you can use "apropos getrusage" to search man pages, but i only have the one reference
[16:20] <geirha> corentin: Does /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh exist?
[16:20] <sacarlson> petskull: you might look for synaptic or apt-get peg  to peg to a version to the one you want
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> geirha  use locate to find out
[16:21] <Petskull> sacarlson, but I want to keep 2.62
[16:21] <Petskull> I like using it
[16:21] <geirha> corentin: If it does, just delete it, since you won't need it anyway.
[16:21] <nmvictor> Pici: Thanks alot
[16:21] <Petskull> but I only need to open meshes in 2.49 and export them as Ogre meshes
[16:21] <Pici> nmvictor: np.  Theres also manpages-posix-dev, if you need that as well. Take a look at the package descriptions for the difference.
[16:23] <sacarlson> Petskull: sorry I think it's pinning not peg http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
[16:23] <corentin> geirha: guess you missed the part about "except i don't have acroread installed"
[16:23] <pappijo> I hope someone can help me with this problem: I have a laptop with i5 processor (which integrates graphics sandybridge) and graphic card Nvidia Geforce GT540M. At first system info said "Graphics: Unknown". When I started to use the GNOME 3 shell System Info began to say "Graphics: Mobile Intel Sandybridge" and the processor heats up a lot. I tried to install the NVIDIA driver (suggested by "Additional Drivers") and the graphics stopped working altogether,
[16:23] <pappijo>  even when I uninstalled the driver. When the driver is installed I see an X server error message: No device found
[16:23] <corentin> and i never installed it, and i don't have acroread.sh
[16:23] <Petskull> sacarlson, but won't that not let me run 2.62?
[16:23] <geirha> corentin: I did, but the file could be there anyway.
[16:23] <corentin> geirha: it is not
[16:24] <sacarlson> Petskull: oh I thought you want the older version installed not the new one,  you want both?
[16:24] <Petskull> yes
[16:24] <Petskull> both
[16:24] <zykotic10> pappijo: sounds like you have intel/nvidia hybrid graphics - there is some special software to use such devices.  Bumblebee i believe is one option (i don't have the hardware so no personal experience)
[16:25] <sacarlson> Petskull: then I'm not sure about that,  I guess I would compile the later one into local/bin and the older from the repository
[16:25] <nmvictor> Pici: and is their a noce man reader other than man itself, somethiing that can link me across man pages but running on the terminal?
[16:25] <geirha> corentin: Hm. Then some other file must have the same type of bug. You could disable it until it's fixed; just use the default completion.
[16:26] <Petskull> sacarlson, just download the tarball and install it?
[16:26] <sacarlson> Petskull: then you put the full path to the one you want at the time
[16:26] <sacarlson> Petskull: it depends on the software if it requires compile and what dependencies but there might be other ways
[16:27] <corentin> geirha: well it's a fresh 10.04 install
[16:27] <pappijo> zykotic10: Yes, it's hybrid graphics. Thank you
[16:27] <corentin> geirha: has the same bug 2 years ago, fixed it myself but can't remember how
[16:27] <Petskull> sacarlson, yeah, I actually thought about that, but I was looking for a better way
[16:27] <Petskull> 'cause installing from tarballs is always a mess
[16:27] <sw0rdfish> hey
[16:27] <Petskull> dependency hell, etc
[16:27] <roasted> Has anybody installed Ubuntu on a Macbook? I'm trying to get the touchpad to respond more smoothly.
[16:27] <sw0rdfish> must I convert a .uif file into .iso first or can I mount it as is?
[16:28] <sacarlson> Petskull: I have about 3 different firefox installed with that method but not recomended for all users.  but for real bleading you normaly need to compile anyway

[16:30] <savid> ie, I used xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --off,  but now I can't turn it back on

[16:33] <corentin> geirha: do you mind pasting your _filedir definition somewhere ?
[16:34] <sacarlson> Petskull: remind you with git you have full control over every possible version and branch in bettween every release forward and backward
[16:34] <Pecker> Is there a archived repo for Karmic? or are the repos gone forever?
[16:34] <roasted> jrib: thats muuuuch better... still needs more tweaking but its a start.
[16:34] <roasted> thank you!
[16:34] <Pici> Pecker: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com, but you really should consider upgrading.
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> Pecker  there's this http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[16:35] <Ravior> anyone knows how to remove elementary-os installation?
[16:35] <urfr332gO> Pecker, as a heads up eol's are not really supported here as well.
[16:35] <geirha> corentin: http://pastebin.com/Hf2nu1nS
[16:35] <jrib> roasted: by the way, in case you want to make the changes permanent, I'm not sure that's still the correct path so you might have to read more current docs on configuring X
[16:35] <___MAX> ubuntu bootmgr is missing press ctrl+alt+del to restart
[16:35] <roasted> jrib: there's a section here about making it permanent. )
[16:35] <roasted> :)
[16:36] <roasted> jrib: By default, the trackpad may not sense your finger unless you press on it. To fix this, run "synclient FingerLow=10" and "synclient FingerHigh=20" in the terminal. To make this change permanent: run "sudo gedit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf" Find the touchpad section and add these two lines to the end of the section:
[16:36] <geirha> corentin: the result of  declare -f _filedir | pastebinit   after sourcing /etc/bash_completion
[16:36] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, you hit c for coomand and then rebbot at the grub menu.
[16:36] <jrib> roasted: yes but that's for 10.04.  I don't remember if X still uses the same location
[16:36]  * Hybridsix Client Disconnected - Bounced Out
[16:36] <jrib> roasted: or are you using 10.04?
[16:36] <___MAX> urfr332gO: second
[16:36] <Pecker> Pici, MonkeyDust, urfr332gO I use 10.04 but i have a machine that is giving fits runnig it, but worked fine with 9.10
[16:37] <roasted> jrib: no, 11.10, and soon 12.04. Either way, I'd just need to find out the location of the file and make the same exact changes, correct?
[16:37] <Petskull> sacarlson, holy fucking awesome- no compile required
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> !karmic
[16:37] <___MAX> urfr332gO: nothing
[16:37] <Pecker> so wanting to be able to have the repos or whatever from 9.10
[16:37] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, it gives me this Error: wrong bbis signature (00000000)
[16:37] <Petskull> it's got an executable binary
[16:37] <urfr332gO> Pecker, have you tried later releases?
[16:37] <___MAX> urfr332gO: it's hang
[16:37] <DarkAceZ> Is it just mine, or is Nautilus' store_session broken? Every time I restart the windows are in different places, different shapes, and the tabs are in a different order... Is this just me?
[16:37] <jrib> roasted: yes, I think so.  I have it setup on my laptop (but it isn't booted), so let me know if you get stuck
[16:37] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, at the grub menu?
[16:37] <corentin> weird
[16:37] <___MAX> urfr332gO: no gtub menu to select  just the error message
[16:37] <corentin> geirha: only difference is first line: local IFS=$'\t\n' xspec
[16:38] <corentin> looks weird
[16:38] <___MAX> ?grub
[16:38] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, what happens when you boot is it grub>
[16:38] <donavan01> is there a way to run Ubuntu from a USB drive in such a way that it can boot to a normal linux desktop and be run like Portable-Ubuntu all while sharing the same programs ... I dont want to independent installations on the same drive
[16:38] <Ravior> someone knows how to remove all custom themes installations and return unity to it's default interface?
[16:38] <sacarlson> Petskull: what that a question or an observation?  if it's ruby or java , perl, python ... then no it wouldn't  require any compile but normaly still have dependancies
[16:38] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, you say bootmgr what do you mean?
[16:38] <geirha> corentin: yeah, the bash_completion code is badly written in my opinion. I don't use it myself. Takes almost a second to load.
[16:38] <___MAX> urfr332gO: just the error message from the start
[16:39] <corentin> geirha: ok got same behavior even with your version :(
[16:39] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, what is the exact error message?
[16:39] <Pecker> urfr332gO: later release like?
[16:39] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: Sounds like the file is corrupt
[16:39] <urfr332gO> Pecker, 11.10.
[16:39] <Pecker> oh..unity = shit
[16:39] <___MAX> urfr332gO: BOOTMGR is mssing press ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot
[16:39] <roasted> jrib: eh yeah it must be in a different location now
[16:39] <Pecker> so i stick with lts
[16:39] <Petskull> sacarlson, observation
[16:40] <Petskull> I'm goot now
[16:40] <corentin> geirha: it's not for every command, mostly gdb actually
[16:40] <Petskull> thanks, man
[16:40] <roasted> Pecker: no need for that language, or hating on something that is only starting out.
[16:40] <corentin> regular commands such as ls etc work fine
[16:40] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, that is not the bootmgr.
[16:40] <Pecker> cue usual language note i get when talking about unity
[16:40] <___MAX> urfr332gO:  i told you wat i see
[16:40] <roasted> Pecker: pardon?
[16:41] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, you can enable that key sequence look on the web if needed.
[16:41] <so1> hey, how do I install infinality fontcofig?
[16:41] <so1> *config
[16:41] <___MAX> urfr332gO : wat sequence key
[16:41] <jrib> roasted: probably /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[16:41] <Pecker> well my informal testing( used same install of game, same cfgs between both oses) with 10.04 and 11.10on same older machine: 10.04 got 50-70 fps, 11.10 got 30-40 fps... BIG difference on older machine... thats soem of my main reasoning for why i hate unity, just too much overhead
[16:41] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, ctrl+Alt+Del
[16:42] <roasted> jrib: bingo
[16:42] <AHP> winke winke
[16:42] <so1> @jrib: its not a font its a patch
[16:42] <chown_> what is the xorg.conf?
[16:42] <so1> .patch
[16:42] <jrib> Pecker: ok, but this channel is for support; not opinions on software
[16:42] <roasted> Pecker: that's fine if you don't like it, but I've been testing 12.04 and it's coming with nice changes. That said, I don't use it on my main machine, I use gnome shell. At the same token, I don't slam Unity devs because they ARE doing a good job. It's a new piece of software. Things happen.
[16:42] <geirha> corentin: Ah. Well a quick workaround is to disable the gdb-completion then
[16:43] <geirha> corentin: complete -r gdb  will do that in your current shell
[16:43] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, I asked if yiou see this at boot grub> is this correct your description is rather confusing
[16:43] <___MAX> urfr332gO:sec
[16:43] <urfr332gO> you*
[16:43] <DarkAceZ> Is it just mine, or is Nautilus' store_session broken? Every time I restart the windows are in different places, different shapes, and the tabs are in a different order... Is this just me?
[16:43] <so1> How do I install a .patch?
[16:43] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, gonna try it on my win7 i guess
[16:43] <sw0rdfish> thanks
[16:43] <jrib> so1: .patch modifies source code.  You don't really install it as much as you apply it to source code
[16:43] <Pecker> sry was just repying to why i ddint use latewr releases.. idkj why i get so much grief for sticking with LTS releases
[16:44] <szal> urfr332gO: your typing is confusing too :P - punctuation marks exist for a reason
[16:44] <jrib> Pecker: no problem with using supported LTS releases
[16:44] <ibrahim> hello
[16:44] <Zal> szal, to make smileys?
[16:44] <ibrahim> Quelqun esr francais ?
[16:44] <Pecker> other thing i dont like about unity is no menus..cant find anything (And dont like searching for everything)
[16:44] <szal> !fr | ibrahim
[16:44] <jrib> !fr | ibrahim
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> !fr

[16:44] <roasted> jrib: it says at the top of the synaptics.conf not to edit it since the system will overwrite it. Eh?
[16:44] <Pecker> jrib: diff story on the quakenet chans im on..everyone always wants me to upgrade
[16:45] <Pecker> anyways no repos for karmic?
[16:45] <jrib> roasted: true...
[16:45] <szal> Pecker: Karmic is dead
[16:45] <Pecker> yep duh
[16:45] <jrib> roasted: but then it tells you what to do :)
[16:45] <Pecker> prob is i have a machine that hates 10.04
[16:45] <___MAX> urfr332gO : ?
[16:45] <Pecker> but i like 9.10
[16:46] <Pecker> it*
[16:46] <roasted> jrib: yeah, copy it... but then where do I put my new entries at?
[16:46] <corentin> geirha: ok thx :\
[16:46] <Pecker> so was wanting to get a usuable os on there... maybe its time to try out a 11.10 live cd..see if it freezes up again
[16:46] <chrisgeorge> Is there a way to remove the empty trash shortcut in unity?
[16:46] <jrib> so1: read « man patch », it's said to be one of the more readablem an pages.  But in general, it's something like patch -pN < patchfile
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> Pecker  better get used to newer ubuntu versions
[16:46] <Pecker> already am
[16:46] <urfr332gO> ___MAX, I have never seen that not a KDE user.
[16:46] <Pecker> id say im ditching ubuntu soon..but this is #ubuntu
[16:46] <so1> jrip: TY! :)
[16:46] <___MAX> any one can help plz : http://i39.tinypic.com/2vxok9e.png
[16:46] <asstreks> hi, I'm downloading xubuntu right now through wubi. Will I be able to replace the window manager with scrotwm, which is a window manager for the X desktop environment?
[16:46] <urfr332gO> !grub | ___MAX you might look here.
[16:47] <jrib> roasted: put them before EndSection
[16:47] <jrib> so1: but... what exactly are you trying to do that you think you need to apply a patch?
[16:47] <roasted> jrib: right, but then will I have 50-synaptics.conf + 50-synaptics.conf(copy) within xorg.conf.d?
[16:48] <jrib> roasted: no, the comments give you a new location: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
[16:48] <roasted> jrib: oh! /etc/X11
[16:48] <roasted> jrib: sorry. I suck at life. :(
[16:48] <Pecker> anyways did that old release site habve the repos? or is it just the isos?

[16:51] <droid-0854> Ubu replaces droid
[16:51] <droid-0854> ?
[16:52] <DarkAceZ> Is it just mine, or is Nautilus' store_session broken? Every time I restart the windows are in different places, different shapes, and the tabs are in a different order... Is this just me?
[16:52] <LukeNukem> how to delete a directory?
[16:52] <LukeNukem> rm does not work
[16:52] <zykotic10> droid-0854: you might be looking for #ubuntu-phone or #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion about ubuntu on android hardware
[16:53] <tr33m4n> try rm -R
[16:53] <zykotic10> LukeNukem: rmdir if it's empty, or you could use "rm -r foo" but be careful with that
[16:53] <corentin> geirha: thanks i've seen already, no solution/workaround available though
[16:53] <LukeNukem> zykotic10, i want to remove /var/www/fittbudds/
[16:53] <LukeNukem> how can i
[16:53] <LukeNukem> plz give me the cmd
[16:54] <tr33m4n> sudo rm -R /var/www/fittbuds
[16:54] <zykotic10> LukeNukem: "sudo rm -r /var/www/fittbudds/"
[16:54] <LukeNukem> TY
[16:54] <zykotic10> tr33m4n: it's nice when a command uses both -r and -R, like in this case
[16:55] <geirha> corentin: It's supposed to be fixed according to that bug report, but I have all updates installed and I can still reproduce it, so I guess the fix didn't end up in lucid for whatever reason.
[16:55] <DarkAceZ> Where should I be asking about nautilus?
[16:55] <droid-0854> What about nautilus
[16:55] <zykotic10> geirha: just because you see a "fixed released" does not mean its in the release you actually use, often it applies to the development version
[16:56] <xtreamer> hi
[16:56] <xtreamer> can anyone help me with a problem:D?
[16:56] <DarkAceZ> Where should I be asking about nautilus?
[16:56] <Aelingil> Question: I'm trying to partition a disk to install Ubuntu Server 10.04. I wanted to have multiple partitions for var, home, /, tmp, swap, boot.  I know i need to make a extended partition, however i cannot find it on the setup. Can anyone help?
[16:56] <theadmin> DarkAceZ: What about it?
[16:56] <DarkAceZ> Is it just mine, or is Nautilus' store_session broken? Every time I restart the windows are in different places, different shapes, and the tabs are in a different order... Is this just me?
[16:56] <roasted> jrib: this mac isn't booting now :(
[16:57] <corentin> geirha: aaaah good to know you can reproduce it :)
[16:57] <corentin> i feel a bit less alone :P
[16:57] <sw0rdfish> hey guys
[16:57] <xtreamer> theadmin: I have some hd video files on my pc ( .mkv format) and when I play them they load very hard, I mean they are laggy, what should I do?
[16:57] <droid-0854> Solid updates Dark?
[16:57] <theadmin> xtreamer: Change your media player maybe
[16:57] <geirha> zykotic10: Though one of the comments say it's nominated for SRU
[16:57] <theadmin> xtreamer: Or check the video drivers
[16:57] <xtreamer> theadmin: nope, that's not it. I tried various media players
[16:57] <DarkAceZ> droid-0854: I think so
[16:57] <zykotic10> geirha: i don't know what SRU is?
[16:58] <xtreamer> theadmin: and also, other movie formats are playing great...
[16:58] <sw0rdfish> why does my ubuntu switch to eth0 mode when I connect an ethernet cable from my modem in (I mean I'm using wireless for internet and want to make a local network using my modem/router to my other laptop and if I plug the cable in It'll stop using the wirelesss.... can't I make it use both
[16:58] <theadmin> xtreamer: Hm, so just matroska then? VLC 2.0 works well with those, as well as mplayer and various mplayer frontends.
[16:58] <droid-0854> Compiz or the like?
[16:59] <DarkAceZ> droid-0854: Me?
[16:59] <sacarlson> xtreamer:  VLC has cool settings to shift sound forward or reverse manualy to sync sound with pics, but I have had some video that seem aren't just shifted
[16:59] <droid-0854> Ya no tab on droid
[16:59] <xtreamer> theadmin: I tried with vlc, it is verry laggy, and even freezes, and then it just plays the audio, leaving me with just a screenshot to watch for about 10 seconds, before getting another screenshot:))
[16:59] <Pecker> sw0rdfish: are you trying to share connection over ethernet..i dont quite get what you are trying to so
[16:59] <theadmin> xtreamer: I said VLC 2.0, not just VLC :P
[16:59] <sw0rdfish> simply put
[16:59] <geirha> zykotic10: Stable Release Update
[17:00] <sw0rdfish> I want my ubuntu to use both eth0 and eth1
[17:00] <sw0rdfish> at the same time
[17:00] <xtreamer> theadmin: and how could I install that?
[17:00] <theadmin> xtreamer: ppas, not so sure really, I'm too lazy to check xD
[17:00] <theadmin> xtreamer: Search for "VLC 2.0 PPA" online with your favorite search engine
[17:00] <xtreamer> theadmin: no prob, ill search it on the internet
[17:00] <theadmin> xtreamer: smplayer with some sane output driver also works well for me

[17:01] <Ourson> Hi. I have a bunch of question regarding making deb packet, software center and so on. There is a very large amount of mailling lists and I'm not sure which one is the most appropriate, If someone can guide me, that would be geat !
[17:01] <Mike9863> In order to get HDMI audio output to work, I need to do this: "Requires loading radeon with the audio parameter set to 1 (e.g., add radeon.audio=1 on the kernel command line in grub). Exergreen support required kernel 3.3 or newer. " (http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature#Feature_Matrix_for_Free_Radeon_Drivers), but I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Can anyone tell me the configuration file I need to modify?
[17:01] <Pecker> from what i remember ethernnet has more priority than wireles in my eexperience
[17:01] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: same time is no problem but with two ISP feeds?
[17:02] <sw0rdfish> sacarlson, only one of them will have internet which is the wireless
[17:02] <sw0rdfish> the ethernet cable is just for local network
[17:02] <hroi> I am have a problem using pgrep...  it doesnt work!
[17:02] <gener1c> if i compress to a gzip using tar -czvf filename /dir , if the computer crashes in the middle ... is there a way to resume it without restarting the compression?
[17:02] <sw0rdfish> yes ethernet takes priority but so I lose the internet wifi that i have
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> !work| hroi
[17:02] <hroi> ps -ax | grep myprocess    works
[17:03] <jlb181> Mike9863:  I tried this once and it didn't work for me.  I ended up with black screens.
[17:03] <hroi> MonkeyDust: yes, good point... it doesnt work as one might expect from the man pages.
[17:03] <zykotic10> gener1c: nope, that's why compressing backups is sometime not the best, if any part of the archive is damaged the entire thing is damaged.  same principle aplies here
[17:03] <samosa> Hey has anyone successfully installed and ran,  ut2004 demo on Linux?
[17:03] <macmartine> Should this log a message when the cron is run? https://gist.github.com/1959679 It's not, but I want it to. It sounds like it should
[17:04] <gener1c> so ill backup to a tar?
[17:04] <hroi> pgrep myprocess    should simply look at all processes and find the bloody job..
[17:04] <crashanddie> Hi, I'm running ubuntu 11.04, which was upgraded from 10.10. However, I seem to still see maverick- in /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:04] <zykotic10> samosa: yes - what error are you getting?
[17:04] <gener1c> i should*
[17:04] <xtreamer> theadmin: I am currently installing it, but what I found has just the command: sudo-apt-get install vlc, could that be vlc 2.0? And what if I already have vlc installed?Wouldn't that make a conflict or something?
[17:04] <jrib> crashanddie: pastebin your sources.list
[17:04] <zykotic10> samosa: if you mean the 64bit demo - forget about that one, use the 32bit one instead
[17:04] <samosa> zykotic10: I'm on Linux mint and getting a buntch of Lincoln++ error related stuff?
[17:04] <hroi> MonkeyDust: perhaps they intend pgrep to work logically ...   pgrep myprocess || echo "hey its here" ??
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> hroi  pgrep returns the process number here
[17:05] <zykotic10> !mint | samosa good luck then.
[17:05] <Pecker> sdoesnt mint have itsown supprto channel?
[17:05] <samosa> Libc++ * sorry
[17:05] <crashanddie> jrib, http://pastebin.com/p9GRHpki
[17:05] <samosa> Ah, no wonder, I was trying 64bit
[17:05] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: ok that sounds simple enuf then, if you just want to bridge them that's one method or you can add filters between that not much work eather
[17:05] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: or just forward trafic bettween with no filters that's all I can think of
[17:05] <kneeki> Hi everyone! Where can I find the gnome3 gpg key to add to my authentication keyring?
[17:05] <jrib> roasted: isn't booting?  Or just X isn't loading?
[17:06] <hroi> MonkeyDust: yeah it works on emacs for me...
[17:06] <zykotic10> samosa: forget about that 64bit one - it's outdated at this point
[17:06] <jrib> crashanddie: how did you upgrade?
[17:06] <gener1c> zykotic10: so will backing up to tar work?
[17:06] <hroi> MonkeyDust: but it dont on my program called "process_incoming_modis_dev"
[17:06] <samosa> Where do I get the 32bit one?
[17:06] <xangua> !gpgerr | kneeki
[17:06] <crashanddie> jrib, don't really remember, am guessing when it prompted me, I just said "sure"
[17:06] <Mike9863> jlb181: I'd be willing to try it out
[17:06] <hroi> MonkeyDust: perhaps it gets a headache from the long name, and decides to give it a rest?
[17:06] <zykotic10> gener1c: if a tar is corrupted, you can often get some of it back - but if it's been .gz then it's done :(
[17:06] <MonkeyDust> hroi  and ps -e ?
[17:07] <hroi> MonkeyDust: ps -ax finds it for me
[17:07] <jrib> crashanddie: how do you know you are on natty now?
[17:07] <crashanddie> jrib, system -> about ubuntu
[17:07] <gener1c> zykotic10: i just want to be able to resume after restart
[17:07] <gener1c> or crash
[17:07] <zykotic10> hroi: drop the - for ps.  It's just "ps ax" - you'll see a warning at the top when using -
[17:07] <hroi> MonkeyDust: ill be damned,...
[17:07] <jlb181> Mike9863: I don't remember which source I used for the information.  It was a pretty easy thing to do though.
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> hroi  found it?
[17:08] <hroi> MonkeyDust: ps -e has a short name for my prog... ps ax  has the full name
[17:08] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: with no filters it's just a mater of setting up routes on each of the nets to decide where it needs to go to find what it wants
[17:08] <zykotic10> gener1c: restarting is my best suggestion - and don't turn off the computer this time
[17:08] <hroi> MonkeyDust: yeah I found it with ps -e but its abreviated....    not the full command name...
[17:08] <samosa> zykotic10: would having to be on a 64bit os have to do with the errors too? Do I have to install 32 bit os?
[17:08] <hroi> MonkeyDust:  I guess its too much to ask, too many chars.
[17:08] <zykotic10> samosa: try mint's support channel
[17:08] <samosa> Ok
[17:08] <sw0rdfish> lol
[17:08] <RyanD> Any folks familiar with wu-ftpd?
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> hroi  try pgrep the short name
[17:09] <sw0rdfish> ok sacarlson which one is the easiest one so I can look up a guide
[17:09] <RyanD> I'm looking to lock a user in their home directory.
[17:09] <hroi> MonkeyDust:   yeah pgrep on the shortname works...
[17:09] <zykotic10> RyanD: wu-ftp "providing root for over 20 years"
[17:09] <RyanD> zykotic10: any other suggestions then?
[17:09] <hroi> MonkeyDust:  pgrep and ps -e   work only on the first 15 chars...
[17:09] <MonkeyDust> hroi  that's called "less is more" :)
[17:09] <jlb181> Mike9863:  I'm sure it was ASK Ubuntu
[17:09] <Zal> RyanD, you'll probably have better luck with vsftpd
[17:09] <RyanD> Basically, I just need an easy-to-configure FTP serv that I can lock the user in their default directory.
[17:09] <zykotic10> RyanD: ftp should die.  I like proftpd myself, kinda apache like.
[17:09] <hroi> MonkeyDust:  what gives...
[17:10] <takpar> :/
[17:10] <hroi> MonkeyDust: thats called old shitt
[17:10] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: I guess forward with routes might be most probable.  I've tried bridges with wifi and for some reason failed
[17:10] <sw0rdfish> I see.
[17:10] <kneeki> xangua: I'm still getting the error after adding the standard keys. :( "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
[17:10] <sw0rdfish> you mean right now
[17:10] <oliphant_> Hi peoples. Question. I'm trying to sed -e 's=^[.]/=$WD/=' but it gives me an "unterminated `s' command". What  am I doing wrong?
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> hroi  anyway, problem solved, question answered?
[17:10] <hroi> MonkeyDust: ehm they might want to mention that in the man pages, its part of the syntax.
[17:11] <hroi> MonkeyDust: yeah, thanks... how did you know to use ps -e ... why is that short, and ps ax long?
[17:11] <zykotic10> oliphant_: "if" you don't get an answer here, try #bash  good luck.
[17:11] <crashanddie> jrib, actually, lsb_release -a gives me 10.10, so I might still be on maverick.
[17:11] <oliphant_> zykotic10: thanks.
[17:12] <jlb181> Mike9863:  That was when HDMI was listed as an output in sound settings.  Some where along the line it was removed.
[17:12] <hroi> oliphant_:  sounds like your search string  is missing some sort of end character...
[17:12] <jrib> crashanddie: yeah, I'd suggest just upgrading again now if you want to be on natty
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> hroi  OT sometimes you find something better by mistyping something
[17:12] <hroi> oliphant_:   I wouldnt know how sed ends a command.
[17:12] <crashanddie> jrib, I don't want to be on natty :P
[17:13] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: maybe something like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[17:13] <oliphant_> hroi: this is the full: Hi peoples. Question. I'm trying to sed -e 's=^[.]/=$WD/=' but it gives me an "unterminated `s' command".  What  am I doing wrong?
[17:13] <oliphant_> sorry
[17:13] <samosa> zykotic10: but where do I get the 32bit version of ut2004demo?  When I run the executable I downloaded  it thinks Im running a amd64 machine?  Or should I ask this in mint aswell?
[17:13] <oliphant_> hroi: Hi peoples. Question. I'm trying to sed -e 's=^[.]/=$WD/=' but it gives me an "unterminated `s' command".  What  am I doing wrong?
[17:13] <Zal> oliphant_, Strange, looks terminated to me, unless you can't use = for some reason as a delimiter.
[17:14] <hroi> oliphant_:  try doing "$WD"
[17:14] <jrib> oliphant_: works fine here
[17:14] <zykotic10> samosa: i can't help you here, because you are using mint.  if you where using ubuntu i could.  ask ALL your questions in the mint channel.
[17:14] <hroi> oliphant_:    not plain $WD
[17:15] <Zal> oliphant_, I'd guess that $WD contains an = sign
[17:15] <hroi> oliphant_:  bash does different things with $WD  and "$WD"  depending on whats inside $WD
[17:15] <crashanddie> oliphant_, you have a variable between simple quotes, it won't get expanded
[17:16] <oliphant_> Zal: yes it does '$WD='
[17:16] <Zal> actually, oliphant_ is using single quotes, so bash won't touch $WD
[17:16] <jrib> oliphant_: are you on ubuntu?
[17:16] <Zal> oliphant_, well, try a different delimiter, like @ for example
[17:17] <crashanddie> oliphant_, how about you try to explain what the contents of $WD is, and what you're trying to achieve?
[17:17] <geirha> oliphant_: If you are seding find output, just do find "$PWD" … instead of find . …
[17:17] <oliphant_> crashjanddie: I'm trying to create temp files to quickly search last modified files and dirs
[17:18] <hroi> oliphant_:   you cant have $WD inside single quotes it wont expand
[17:18] <jrib> maybe he doesn't want it to expand :)
[17:18] <Zal> it is inside single quotes
[17:19] <Zal> so it would be sed expanding it, not bash
[17:19] <theadmin|2> l
[17:19] <hroi> Zal, oliphant_, jrib,  oh ok you dont want $WD to expand then... well
[17:19] <oliphant_> hroi: Ichanged it to : sed -e "s=^[.]/=$WD/=" -e "s^[.]$=$WD=" $TMP/$i.$$
[17:19]  * jrib is still curious if oliphant_ is using ubuntu
[17:19] <oliphant_> hroi: it still gives me same error
[17:20] <hroi> oliphant_:  what does echo "$WD" give you?
[17:20] <MonkeyDust> oliphant_  in a terminal, type lsb_release -sd
[17:20] <geirha> oliphant_: your second substitution is missing an =
[17:21] <oliphant_> geirha: thanks
[17:22] <oliphant_> MonkeyDust: I'm using mint 12
[17:22] <orbisvicis> hi I need some figuring out what causes periodic freezing on one of my machines
[17:23] <cbush15> What does this mean sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[17:23] <orbisvicis> it isnt a kernel panic because ctrl-alt-printscrn-reisub reboots normally
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> oliphant_  in the end of the sed command, type /g
[17:23] <orbisvicis> so I have all the log files from before the freeze but nothing pops out...
[17:23] <hroi> I found that ps -e  results in BSD process names... only 15 chars.
[17:24] <oliphant_> MonkeyDust: thanks, let me give it a try.
[17:24] <hroi> and by default pgrep/pkill uses BSD process name
[17:24] <Trevor69420> anyone ever send SMS alerts from a ubuntu server before
[17:24] <hroi> I dont want the BSD name, I want the full name in pgrep...
[17:24] <hroi> any clue..
[17:25] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: is it a desktop install?  maybe try run vesa or just disable any gpu drivers see if problem goes away to isolate to video drivers
[17:25] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: server
[17:25] <hroi> I guess Im scr**wd,  pgrep was written for BSD:
[17:26] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: besides wouldnt video drivers normally induce kernel panic ?
[17:26] <orbisvicis> aka bsod on windows
[17:26] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: ok no gpu then, not many drivers I know can break those?  any propriatary stuf installed?
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> hroi  try pgrep -f
[17:27] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: no
[17:27] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: I would think even if no kernal panic you would see some kind of error in /var/log
[17:27] <gisli> i need a gmail-notifier for 10.04 asap...so many to choose from, any of you know who's best?
[17:27] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: dmesg reports everything since the current boot, right ?
[17:27] <orbisvicis> so messages from a previous boot would be in dmesg.0 ?
[17:28] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: I'm not sure about everything but just look for last file changed in log
[17:29] <Peanut> Wow.. my Unity is completely b0rked after I tried to alt-tab. The window manager has died, all my windows are in the left-hand corner and not responding to keyboard or clicks... compiz[5993] general protection ip:7ff2924c575b sp:7fff381362c0
[17:29] <Zal> gisli, just use your standard desktop mail client?
[17:29] <genii-around> hroi: try -f and -l together
[17:29] <Peanut> Can't even alt-F1 back to the desktop.. but at least my music is still playing.
[17:30] <Zal> Peanut, whatever you do, wait for the music to finish!
[17:30] <gisli> Zal: meh, the gmail-web ui is much better. Just need a notification program that notifies of new emails
[17:31] <Zal> gisli, to each his own, I guess. I despise the gmail web gui
[17:31] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: last freeze problem on one of my server was bad mem, sometimes it took 5 days to fail
[17:31] <Peanut> It's Radio Paradise, they're playing pretty good music. But it's been ages since I've had a desktop on Linux get this badly **redacted**.. :-(
[17:31] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: I've run memtest for 5+ hours no problems
[17:32] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: ya that's the problem with mem errors that take 5 days
[17:32] <gisli> Zal: yeah...fortunately not everybody share the same opinions
[17:32] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: took months to isolate
[17:32] <Zal> gisli, :-)
[17:33] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: memtest should stress test *all* the memory continuously, right? 5+ hours means multiple loops, should've seen some error
[17:33] <orbisvicis> much faster than normal usage anyway
[17:33] <Peanut> It used to be, in the good old days of fvwm and the like, that you could just start another window manager and get on with things - is that still possible these days? (I can ssh into the box at least)
[17:33] <jrib> Peanut: try :)
[17:33] <Peanut> jrib: I'd love to - how?
[17:34] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: I'm not sure, but it was a good try, what was the last log file modified doing?
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> Peanut  i use jwm for my ssh connections
[17:34] <orbisvicis> yeah 1 sec
[17:34] <jrib> Peanut: well you can ssh or just hit ctrl-alt-f1 and run fvwm or whatever you want; I don't know what the command for unity is
[17:34] <jrib> Peanut: remember to set DISPLAY
[17:34] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: what is the difference between dmesg.log and kernel.log
[17:34] <Peanut> It is no longer responding to ctrl-alt-F1 :-(
[17:35] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: I'm not sure I think most complete is system.log but apps put out there own stuf in logs
[17:36] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: if the last app log modified is consistent maybe that would be a clue
[17:36] <KaiForce> In the newer versions of Ubuntu (i.e. Oneiric) is there a way to configure the launch bar to launch another instance of what you click on instead of restoring the already opened instance?
[17:36] <orbisvicis> its kinda hard to tell which was the last modified on the previous boot
[17:36] <jpds> KaiForce: Right-click on it and see if there's an option
[17:36] <jpds> KaiForce: ?
[17:36] <orbisvicis> anyway dmesg.0 only goes 78 seconds into the previous reboot
[17:37] <orbisvicis> and I know for a fact the freeze happened 4+ hours into the last reboot
[17:37] <Chipzzz> KaiForce: cairo-dock
[17:37] <KaiForce> jpds: that did work thanks.
[17:37] <jpds> Chipzzz: Oh hi.
[17:37] <KaiForce> Chipzzz: what is that?
[17:37] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: if you can look at cron to see what might have been scedualed at the 4+ hour maybe?
[17:37] <cracka> oh hai how iz every one
[17:37] <KaiForce> should I sudo apt get it?
[17:37] <Chipzzz> KaiForce: it's an improved launcher
 Don't flood mainchat, maximum of 2 each 5 second(s).
 Don't flood mainchat, maximum of 2 each 5 second(s).
[17:38] <KaiForce> Ok I will take a look at it.
[17:38] <Chipzzz> KaiForce: youtube has several video that demo it... take a look there
[17:38] <KaiForce> Chipzzz, jpds:  thanks!
[17:39] <Chipzzz> :)
[17:39] <Mike9863> Should lightdm continue running after I login? I notice that it's eating up some of my CPU and memory.
[17:39] <nibbler__> hi. i'm trying to get sieve running, following http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot - but it does not seem to load the module (according to strace) - http://pastebin.com/Q643dRX2 its ubuntu LTS
[17:39] <nibbler__> any hints?
[17:39] <sw0rdfish> sacarlson, this link should be able to help me you say right? ... what will it let me do exactly?https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing

[17:39] <jpds> Mike9863: Yes, it keeps X running.
[17:40] <Mike9863> jpds: Okay thanks
[17:40] <Peanut> jpds: well, for some of us :-(
[17:40] <sw0rdfish> hmmmmmmmmm
[17:40] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: it will connect all your local lan trafic on eth0 to your wifi internet eth1 when needed I would think
[17:41] <sw0rdfish> uhhh
[17:41] <bastien_> coucou
[17:41] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: you might find better tutorial than this one,  It was just the first that I found
[17:41] <sw0rdfish> so I will be able to connect to the lan via eth0 and to the internet via eth1 (e
[17:41] <nisci> hey, I have a bloated debian install on my computer, it takes very slow to boot up and all that. I had an idea today -- to use a virtual machine with an ubuntu image. I'm wondering if it's possible (and perhaps common?) to somehow have debian start in a very very barebone fashion, and start the virtual machine then so then it can have more computing resources by itself
[17:42] <bastien_> coucou
[17:42] <sw0rdfish> (wifi)
[17:42] <sw0rdfish> what should i search
[17:43] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: well it could be reversed if you wish eth1 could be lan and eth0 could be internet and I didn't read it to see how they configured this example
[17:43] <bastien_> a
[17:43] <sw0rdfish> no worries about their names... its just the internet is via wifi only and lan is via ethernet cable
[17:43] <Taos> Err http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main python-setuptools all 0.6.16-1ubuntu0.1 Something wicked happened resolving 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[17:43] <Taos> Someone explain!
[17:44] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: lan trafic will remain in one net and when needed if outside the lan ip range the trafic will be forwarded onto the other nic to the internet or other
[17:44] <jpds> Taos: Something is wrong with your network.
[17:44] <Taos> bugger
[17:45] <MonkeyDust> guys, when trying to reset unity, i get this error: (compiz:9279): Gdk-WARNING **: compiz: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. -- hints & tips?
[17:45] <Taos> jpds: possible fix suggestions?
[17:45] <jpds> Taos: Check your DNS settings.
[17:45] <Chipzzz> Taos: also your software sources
[17:45] <sw0rdfish> sacarlson, well I'm trying to setup the lan with a modem/router... could it be that the laptop thinks the ethernet cable has internet and so it  takes priority? ... cuz when I tried it earlier irc stopped working as if I disconnected the wifi
[17:48] <bastien_> a
[17:48] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: no you can configure any net to have different priority when it's setup custom,  im not sure what the default configs are
[17:48] <zorklat> my PSU blew up, and it's been forever since I looked at the market -- any suggestions?
[17:49] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: any logs to check besides dmesg, kern.log, and messages.log ?
[17:49] <oCean> zorklat: try #ubuntu-offtopic or maybe ##hardware channel
[17:49] <genii-around> zorklat: Perhaps they might have an idea in ##hardware
[17:49] <sacarlson> sw0rdfish: as far as ubuntu is concerned all nics are the same other than having max bandwidth on each
[17:50] <jadams> My gnome-terminal doesn't redraw properly about once every five minutes, and it's killing me.  Is this a known problem?
[17:50] <jadams> I searched a lot on the forums and found reference to upgrading nvidia driver fixing it, but that didn't work for me
[17:51] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: I've found the simplest thing is just to use the network interfaces file, add a post-up directive for both eth0 and eth1 saying like: dhclient -r eth0 && dhclient eth0    or whichever one it is you want to be the default
[17:51] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: messages logs syslog messages until 3hours ago, I assume that is when the freeze happened. dmesg isnt useful (only logged the 1st 78 seconds of the last boot). kern.log's last message before the reboot comes from last night, nothing useful. The only odd entry I see is "Mar  2 08:34:08 veridian syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart" which is 1.5 hours before the freeze syslog restarted for no reason
[17:52] <genii-around> ( if they both are dhcp)
[17:52] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: maybe /var/log/ls -t -l   to sort by last modified
[17:52] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: how do I see a report of cron jobs ?
[17:53] <sw0rdfish> I want eth1 to be the default one
[17:53] <sacarlson> crontab -l  and sudo crontab -l
[17:53] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: too difficult, all the currently opened log files make it difficult to tell
[17:53] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: ok 1 sec thanks
[17:53] <hack_> ubi
[17:53] <sw0rdfish> so I put in: dhclient -r eth1 && dhclient eth1 on a line alone? in /etc/networking/interfaces
[17:53] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, ^^
[17:54] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: oh yes and that needs to be done at some time shortly after boot or even from a live cd boot to see what last changed
[17:54] <sw0rdfish> I meant /etc/network/interfaces
[17:54] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: ok ill try that next time :(
[17:54] <sw0rdfish> or do I put that line under "auto eth1"
[17:54] <orbisvicis> ok i'm reading my mailbox, but mutt doesn't show hour/minute timestamps
[17:55] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: I'm trying to figure out the  last cron email I received
[17:55] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: You actually just need it under the auto eth0 one... like: post-up dhclient -r eth1 && dhclient eth1
[17:55] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: ya that might work I guess each cron post something
[17:55] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: So that no matter which order you put them up in, the eth1 will always be default
[17:56] <sw0rdfish> ahh I see. :)
[17:56] <JohnnyonFlame> Is there any way of getting persistence on a ubuntu USB install without using a Casper-RW cow?
[17:57] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, what about this line:  iface eth0 inet dhcp
[17:57] <sw0rdfish> thats under "auto eth0"
[17:57] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: Put the post-up line directly under that one
[17:57] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: no, last mail from cron is 30minutes before the freeze, some mundane warnings
[17:57] <sw0rdfish> k :)
[17:58] <sacarlson> JohnnyonFlame: I"m not sure what method they use but I know there are documented methods of persisant usb boot
[17:58] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, I will still be able to use eth0 to connect to my other laptop via the modem/router right?
[17:59] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: some continues demon then like dhcpd or ???
[17:59] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: So long as both your eth0 and eth1 are not on the same network segment
[17:59] <Xanthippus> Heeey
[17:59] <Xanthippus> I just got ignored in the #archlinux channel, so since this is another Linux OS, I'll try asking here.
[17:59] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: eg: eth0 is something like 192.168.0.100 and eth1 is something like 192.168.1.100 on different networks
[17:59] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: no interesting crontab jobs, it would have to be something in /etc/cron*
[18:00] <sw0rdfish> they're not .... the wifi connection is a bridged connection both my laptops use wifi and have public IP's so both their ethernet ports will have private IP's
[18:00] <Xanthippus> I just have a really small question about static IP's.
[18:00] <sacarlson> orbisvicis: or something that just runs all the time like a demon and there are many
[18:00] <orbisvicis> yeah
[18:00] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, my eth1 is like 193.yati.yata.do lol
[18:00] <Xanthippus> The Beginner's Guide for Arch Linux is telling me to do this: Edit your /etc/resolv.conf like this, substituting your name servers' IP addresses and your local domain name:
[18:00] <sw0rdfish> public.
[18:00] <Xanthippus> nameserver 61.23.173.5
[18:00] <Xanthippus> nameserver 61.95.849.8

[18:01] <sw0rdfish> Xanthippus, /j #archlinux ?
[18:01] <hack_> help any on
[18:01] <blue_pearl> hi.. i am using Ubuntu 11.10 sound was working fine but it suddenly stopped today.
[18:01] <hack_> plzz
[18:01] <Zal> Xanthippus, did you have a question?
[18:01] <Xanthippus> sw0rdfish: I got ignored there
[18:01] <hack_> me use empathy masanger but not voice call
[18:01] <Xanthippus> At least someone responded to me here :P
[18:01] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: Should be fine then. If it doesn't find a route on the default adapter it should start looking on the next one
[18:01] <pestilence> could somebody verify this for me:  when you hit alt+f2, then type in empathy, it shows empathy-accounts...if you hit enter it opens up empathy accounts
[18:02] <pestilence> on the other hand if you type in just "empath" and hit enter, it opens up empathy
[18:02] <Xanthippus> I just need to know what to substitute in "nameserver"
[18:02] <Chipzzz> Xanthippus: we could better help you if you were running ubuntu
[18:02] <sw0rdfish> Xanthippus, why are you lying man you didn't even say a word there
[18:02] <orbisvicis> well yesterday was the first day of the month, so it could've been cron.monthyl
[18:02] <oCean> Xanthippus: this channel is for ubuntu only
[18:02] <Xanthippus> I left sw0rdfish
[18:02] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: ^
[18:02] <pestilence> (file this in the what in the everliving fuck category)
[18:02] <oCean> pestilence: control your language here, please
[18:02] <sw0rdfish> Xanthippus, you didn't say anything there
[18:02] <Xanthippus> Yeah I did!
[18:02] <theadmin> Xanthippus: Try 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 -- those are Google's public DNS
[18:03] <Xanthippus> It got all flooded by these guys talking about licenses
[18:03] <hack_> but no voice call
[18:03] <Xanthippus> And court
[18:03] <Zal> Xanthippus, the word "nameserver" is literal, the number after it should be your ISP's DNS server; your ISP can tell you what it is.
[18:03] <hack_> help me plzz bro
[18:03] <oCean> Xanthippus: now you're flooding the ubuntu channel with non-ubuntu questions, please stop
[18:03] <blue_pearl> hi.. i am using Ubuntu 11.10 sound was working fine but it suddenly stopped today. Here is the lspci output http://paste.ubuntu.com/865482/
[18:03] <Amdpc> Xanthippus : You may join ##linux ..
[18:03] <pestilence> is there anybody running ubuntu in here who could verify that?
[18:03] <sw0rdfish> oh thats what it does... that line.... it tells it if it can't find a route to the internet on eth0 to look on eth1?
[18:04] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, ^^?
[18:04] <orbisvicis> sacarlson: nah nevermind, the monthly cronjob runs too early o coincide with the freeze. In fact, all the cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} run too early
[18:04] <pestilence> it boggles my mind that i can type the name of a program in /usr/bin into the alt+f2 dialogue and it opens up something entirely different
[18:04] <luciano_> é penta!
[18:05] <adahlin> hi all, I need to compile a module from the kernel source and add it to my ubuntu install (10.04). What's the best way to do this? Download the kernel source, compile modules and just copy out the .so?
[18:05] <sw0rdfish> well whatever just as long as it works
[18:05] <guntbert> !enter | pestilence (and mind your language please)
[18:05] <luciano_> 5x
[18:05] <Zal> pestilence, you may have an identically named program earlier on our command path than /usr/bin. /usr/local/bin, for example.
[18:05] <oCean> !br | luciano_
[18:06] <pestilence> Zal: no, i do not.  it is opening "empathy-accounts" when i type in "empathy".  empathy-accounts is in /usr/bin also.
[18:06] <luciano_> eu que agradeço.
[18:06] <blue_pearl> hi.. i am using Ubuntu 11.10 sound was working fine but it suddenly stopped today. Here is the lspci output http://paste.ubuntu.com/865482/ any help will be nice.
[18:06] <RoadRat> Hi i wonder how small a ubuntu can install and still manage to route trafic from my 3g to eternet and have a light-weight gui
[18:07] <Chipzzz> pestilence: have you run empathy before?
[18:07] <Zal> pestilence, it's probably grabbing the first search result when you hit enter. Try using the search button one time instead, so that it stops jumping automatically to empathy-accounts
[18:07] <hiexpo> RoadRat, so you are looking for a server ?
[18:07] <Zal> pestilence, that is, click the search button, instead of hitting "enter"
[18:07] <pestilence> Zal: it doesn't even show empathy in the results.  it only shows empathy-accounts
[18:07] <RoadRat> i dont know
[18:07] <Zal> pestilence, hence my suggestion
[18:08] <pestilence> Zal: where is the search button?  I don't see that when i hit alt+f2
[18:08] <Zal> pestilence, using Gnome? Sorry, I don't know what it looks like, I prefer KDE
[18:08] <pestilence> Zal: ubuntu uses unity...
[18:08]  * pestilence checks channel...yup, ubuntu.
[18:08] <RoadRat>  i have a 3g modem i want a thin client with 512mb mem and 512 disc gona route to a router
[18:09] <Zal> pestilence, <shrug> I only use ubuntu on headless servers
[18:09] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: No.. how normal operation works is that the last adapter you connect becomes the default as soon as it is up. In this case we are just telling the system to bring up the eth1 right after eth0 has been activated, so that eth1 will always be the default, since it will always be activated last whether eth0 or eth1 is plugged in first
[18:09] <LucidGuy> Ran sensors-detect (modified /etc/modules as requested) and I get the following output from sensors.  Should I be concerend with the "ALARM" notices?  The accepted ranges don't seem right.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/865489/
[18:09] <RoadRat> gladly with some gui
[18:09] <genii-around> sw0rdfish: Apologies on lag, work is becoming busy
[18:09] <pestilence> i guess i'm more flabbergasted at such a horrible, horrible bug.  it doesn't even offer up "empathy" when I type "empathy"!
[18:09] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, no worries man... let me re-read that to try and comprehend it lol
[18:10] <RoadRat> hiexpo, sory
[18:10] <qwebirc440949> sorry anyone know of a good sound hardware settings manager that isnt pulse audio?
[18:10] <pestilence> what if somebody sneaky were able to get a program called gksudo-haxxor_your_boxxer into your path
[18:10] <Zal> pestilence, I think you're missing the point of the dropdown. It looks for items previously typed probably, and does not search your command path necessarily.
[18:10] <MonkeyDust> pestilence  that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:10] <pestilence> then you hit alt+f2, type gksudo and hit enter...unbeknownst to you you ran some program other than gksudo
[18:11] <pestilence> MonkeyDust: are you kidding me??
[18:11] <hiexpo> :)
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> pestilence  this channe is for support, only
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> channel*
[18:11] <theadmin> pestilence: Report a bug, that's pretty much all you can do
[18:11] <pestilence> so, i've had 4 responses.  1 person doesn't run ubuntu desktop.  3 people tell me to straighten up.
[18:12] <pestilence> theadmin: that is the correct response.  thank you!
[18:12] <RoadRat> hiexpo, i forget to wright name
[18:12] <pestilence> MonkeyDust: didn't i ask a question that was support related?
[18:12]  * pestilence bangs head on desk.
[18:12] <blue_pearl> hi.. i am using Ubuntu 11.10 sound was working fine but it suddenly stopped today. Here is the lspci output http://paste.ubuntu.com/865482/ any help will be nice.
[18:12] <ThinkT510> pestilence: what was your question?
[18:12] <guntbert> pestilence: drop that ranting please
[18:13] <RoadRat> hiexpo, but how small can i install ubuntu
[18:13] <pestilence> could somebody verify this for me:  when you hit alt+f2, then type in empathy, it shows empathy-accounts...if you hit enter it opens up empathy accounts
[18:13] <pestilence> ThinkT510: ^^^
[18:13] <ThinkT510> pestilence: oh, i use xfce not unity
[18:13] <roasted> Question - does anybody know if you do an rsync transfer if it resets permissions at the END of the transfer or before? I'm doing a 30gb backup over ssh with rsync and my source directory is 755, but on the destination it's 700... I'm using rsync -a without root and the user is the same on source and destination....
[18:13] <qwebirc440949> have a laptop with a dodgy headphone connector. I want to be able to turn off my laptops speakers and not just mute them so sound will only ever come through my headphone jack. this was possible in 11.04 have no idea how to do it on 11.10
[18:13] <hiexpo> RoadRat, what you want a desktop or server > you said earlier I don't know ?
[18:14] <sskalnik_> How can I list the contents of a tarball without extracting it?
[18:14] <pestilence> roasted: what kind of filesystem is the source and the dest?  what is the umask on the dest?
[18:15] <roasted> pestilence, ext4 on both. I never altered the umask.
[18:15] <LucidGuy> roasted, from my experience it does it last.
[18:15] <sskalnik_> roasted:  last
[18:15] <hiexpo> sskalnik_, just double click it and it will open with out extracting
[18:15] <pestilence> roasted: and are you looking at temporary files when you see the permission?
[18:15] <roasted> pestilence, no, its just the users home directory.
[18:15] <sskalnik_> hiexpo:  command line only here
[18:15] <roasted> sskalnik_, LucidGuy thanks! I thought it was but I wasn't sure. I suppose it uses 700 just to protect the data when in mid trasnfer?
[18:16] <MonkeyDust> sskalnik_  use cat or less
[18:16] <pestilence> hrmm, i thought that it would have correct permissions after every single file is completed.
[18:16] <pestilence> so you could kill it and the files would be correct
[18:16] <hiexpo> cat
[18:16] <hiexpo> oops double
[18:16] <sskalnik_> MonkeyDust:  cat on binary data?
[18:17] <pestilence> it probably doesn't have the right permissions *during* the transfer of a given file, but as soon as that file is complete it should have the right permissions/timestamps
[18:17] <LucidGuy> roasted, When I do large transfers as root .. I notice the permissions of parent folders are root.root during the transfer .. yet once complete I noticed the perms are corrected.  This is during a rsync -a
[18:17] <MonkeyDust> sskalnik_  "...  may be a binary file.  See it anyway?" => yes
[18:17] <roasted> LucidGuy, would using root not KEEP the ownership/group as root:root????
[18:17] <LucidGuy> roasted, so it is my believe that its performed last .. which makes sense.
[18:17] <sskalnik_> MonkeyDust:  that doesn't seem to make sense. In any case it pukes gibberish to the console.
[18:17] <RoadRat> hiexpo, Maby a server is good then
[18:18] <LucidGuy> roasted, not if you ask rsync to preserve perms.
[18:18] <sskalnik_> MonkeyDust:  I suppose I meant tar.gz, not a plain tarball
[18:18] <RoadRat> hiexpo, they are smaller arn't they
[18:18] <hiexpo> RoadRat, maybe ubuntu mini > look at distrowatch.com > all linux distros there pretty much
[18:18] <MonkeyDust> sskalnik_  it works here, first gibberish, then plain text
[18:19] <_Marcus> How do I use Disk Utility to make a new parition on my disk?
[18:19] <RoadRat> ok
[18:19] <martin_tsc> How can I defend against a flood attack? (not sure if right room but...)
[18:19] <LucidGuy> _Marcus, simplicity .. use gparted.
[18:19] <ThinkT510> martin_tsc: try asking in #freenode
[18:19] <szal> sskalnik_: tar t <filename> <- probably in combination w/ j or z if the tarball is compressed
[18:19] <martin_tsc> thanks
[18:19] <sskalnik_> "tar -ztvf"
[18:20] <sskalnik_> Thanks szal
[18:20] <sskalnik_> Works perfectly.
[18:20] <hiexpo> yup ztvf = view file
[18:20] <roasted> LucidGuy, is that what -a does?
[18:21] <blue_pearl> any help on the issue?
[18:21] <szal> !sound | blue_pearl
[18:22] <blue_pearl> szal, in sound preference its 100% still no sound.
[18:22] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: what does alsamixer show?
[18:23] <orbisvicis> btw ftr best cpu monitor ever is xosview
[18:23] <LucidGuy> roasted, -a stands for archive .. which includes a few options.  Man rsync
[18:23] <blue_pearl> ThinkT510, in gnome alsamixer all the bars r full.
[18:23] <RoadRat> hiexpo, is it ubuntu mini remix you meen? there was no ubuntu mini on distrowatch
[18:23] <sskalnik_> blue_pearl:  I was about to say, have you checked "alsamixer"? I had a similar issue in the past.
[18:24] <MonkeyDust> blue_pearl  in alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M
[18:24] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: in the terminal type alsamixer, do you see XX anywhere?
[18:24] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: sorry, not XX i mean MM
[18:24] <Chipzzz> blue_pearl: have you tried aplay to see if maybe alsa is working and pulse is not?
[18:25] <wadkar> do I really need pluseaudio ? what is the least "painful" audio-mgmt-library ?
[18:25] <sskalnik_> alsa is happiness
[18:25] <wadkar> I dont remember if I installed pulseaudio as a dependency for something, but this audio-video lag in mp4 videos is driving me nuts X-(
[18:25] <hiexpo> RoadRat, whatdo you want ? what is your objective ?
[18:26] <ThinkT510> wadkar: if you are using gnome3 or unity yes you need pulse
[18:26] <hiexpo> RoadRat, desktop or server
[18:26] <szal> wadkar: Pulse is, or should be, installed by default
[18:27] <szal> other than that, Pulse has grown quite a bit since its humble beginnings in 2007 or so
[18:27] <roasted> LucidGuy, just tested that theory. didn't work.
[18:27] <roasted> LucidGuy, I own a folder in my home dir. 755 perms, jason:jason. I did sudo rsync -a folder folder2, and folder2 came across as root:root even though folder is owned by me.
[18:28] <Trevor69420> anyone here use winbind on ubuntu
[18:28] <blue_pearl> ThinkT510, Chipzzz in alsamixer in terminal every bar is full, i have tried  aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav still no sound...  here is lspci output if it helps u.
[18:28] <Trevor69420> i've installed it but still cant resolve windows netbios names
[18:28] <roasted> LucidGuy, then I ran the same command but without root to folder3. folder3 came over as jason:jason
[18:28] <wadkar> ThinkT510: szal : I would rather choose 'Ubuntu Classic(No effects)' [on 11.04] than face the A-V lag issue , heck I would even prefer a plain X-term for all I care ... just let me watch these video-lectures w/o A-V lag
[18:28] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: we asked if you saw a MM not how full the bar is, MM means its muted
[18:28]  * wadkar needs to submit homework :(
[18:28] <RoadRat> hiexpo, to make this 512mb ram 512mb disc thin client forward my 3g usb to my router, and i like ubuntu becauce i have it, but anything within reason will do
[18:29] <ThinkT510> wadkar: are you streaming these videos or are they local?
[18:29] <sskalnik_> blue_pearl:  there is a good chance something is muted (MM). Press M on it to un-mute. Seems to be a common problem. It's what I had to do to get HDMI audio working,
[18:29] <rombaaaz> why would my laptop show limited access when i connect to my friend's wifi network?
[18:30] <RoadRat> hiexpo i have tryed puppylinux lucid but it ...
[18:30] <sskalnik_> rombaaaz:  connected to the network but not the internet.
[18:30] <RoadRat> hiexpo, well i have hard to get info on how to use its tools for that
[18:31] <wadkar> ThinkT510: doesn't matter, they always lag (irrespective of streaming from coursera.org website or download them offline and play with smplayer/mplay/vlc/cvlc)
[18:31] <mogul218> can anyone help me speed up my synaptic mouse?  I tried this solution but still not satisfied http://johnny.chadda.se/article/speed-up-your-synaptics-touchpad-in-ubuntu/
[18:31] <LucidGuy> roasted, I can assure you rsync -a retains permissions.  I use it in a number of scripts to replicate directories etc.
[18:31] <blue_pearl> sskalnik_, i am unable to found anything muted...i made some bars to full which was half.
[18:31] <RoadRat> it has very limited amount of packages.. and not network manager..
[18:31] <roasted> LucidGuy, that's fine, but just saying, I did an actual test just now and it said the opposite. Try it yourself. Just take your desktop and rsync it as desktop2 and desktop3, use sudo on one, no sudo on the other. see what happens.
[18:32] <ThinkT510> wadkar: odd
[18:32] <sskalnik_> roasted:  which exact rsync command are you using? I use rsync -av and don't have that issue.
[18:32] <roasted> LucidGuy, speaking of which, on folder2 that came over as root:root, its 755, whereas folder3 (no root, owned by jason:jason) is 775.
[18:32] <Chipzzz> blue_pearl: i haven't seen your lspci or lsmod... do you have links to them?
[18:32] <roasted> sskalnik_, rsync -a desktop desktop2
[18:32] <roasted> sskalnik_, then I use sudo rsync -a desktop desktop3
[18:32] <LucidGuy> roasted, you are doing something wrong .. I don't need to test anything.  Its a fact!
[18:33] <roasted> LucidGuy, what am I doing wrong?
[18:33] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: can you post a screenshot of alsamixer please?
[18:33] <wadkar> ThinkT510: yeah like other odd things of random GUI crashing, screen freezes, audio-scrambling
[18:33] <sskalnik_> roasted:  What kind of boxen are desktop and desktop2?
[18:33] <ThinkT510> wadkar: sounds like you're using unity :) i use xfce
[18:33] <roasted> sskalnik_, its just desktop in my home directory.
[18:34] <sskalnik_> roasted:  So just backing up a folder on the same box?
[18:34] <blue_pearl> ThinkT510, ya i am doing that..
[18:34] <roasted> sskalnik_, yes.
[18:34] <zykotic10> orbisvicis: thanks!  i'd never see xosview before.  screencap http://imagebin.org/201729
[18:34] <roasted> sskalnik_, would that be why?
[18:34] <wadkar> ThinkT510: I curse my decision to go with default installation, now I have customized all those fancy shortcuts of unity and my work-environment is so much tied to it that I dont want to go back :(
[18:35] <mogul218> looking for help with speeding up sensitivity synaptic mousepad any help?
[18:35] <lenneth_> hallo everyone :3
[18:35] <sskalnik_> roasted:  Nope. Just narrowing down the possible sources. What is the destination directory?
[18:35] <roasted> sskalnik_, I just tagged it as desktop2, desktop3
[18:35] <roasted> sskalnik_, however, desktop2 and desktop3 didn't exist prior. could that be why since it had to create them?
[18:36] <sskalnik_> roasted:  Right, but where are you creating the new backups?
[18:36] <lenneth_> question. how i can reproduce easily in a .sh script the behaviour that i have launching on a terminal commands separated by ; i.e. waiting first process to end, then start next one?
[18:36] <tch> hi all
[18:36] <roasted> sskalnik_, right in my home directory
[18:36] <_Marcus> What does it mean in GParted when a partition has a key next to it? Does that mean I can't edit it?
[18:36] <tch> i install ubuntu and have problem with dropbox - download file with speed ~1kb/s. Anyone know what can be a problem?
[18:36] <LucidGuy> roasted, Just for you I performed rsync -a Desktop/ Desktop2/  perms retains.  Performed the same using sudo .. EXACT SAME RESULTS
[18:36] <roasted> sskalnik_, I'm in ~ and I ran rsync -a desktop desktop2, since desktop2 didnt exist, it thereby rsyncs desktop as desktop2... it creates a duplicate.
[18:37] <roasted> LucidGuy, hmm, I didn't use the slash though.
[18:37] <roasted> LucidGuy, are they backing up right in your home dir?
[18:37] <LucidGuy> roasted, yup
[18:37] <ThinkT510> !gparted | _Marcus
[18:37] <_Marcus> tch: I don't think Dropbox is supported(it's not in the repos as far as I know)
[18:37] <calico> is there a puppy channel ?
[18:37] <roasted> LucidGuy, oh man
[18:37] <ThinkT510> !alis | calico
[18:38] <roasted> LucidGuy, I just repeated my steps
[18:38] <tch> _Marcus: i downloaded it from "Ubuntu software center"
[18:38] <LucidGuy> roasted, its due to the forward slash ..
[18:38] <roasted> LucidGuy, http://pastebin.com/7rKUBQRe
[18:38] <roasted> LucidGuy, oh
[18:38] <_Marcus> tch: Oh.
[18:38] <roasted> LucidGuy, let me retry
[18:39] <LucidGuy> remove the desktop2 .. so rsync creates it.
[18:39] <roasted> LucidGuy, I did
[18:39] <roasted> they were removed prior to starting
[18:39] <roasted> LucidGuy, see in the first ls -l at the very top, no Desktop2 or Desktop3
[18:39] <lenneth_> there is no way to replicate the ; behaviour in a shell script without going in endless if/then/elif circles?
[18:39] <blue_pearl> ThinkT510, here is the screenshot of alsamixer in terminal http://tinypic.com/r/2ni8k60/5
[18:40] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: your speaker is muted, see the MM?
[18:40] <LucidGuy> roasted, you should find the forward slash resolves your problem.  I witnessed what you are experiencing without the forward slash also.
[18:40] <LucidGuy> .. as root
[18:41] <roasted> LucidGuy, so you confirm if you duplicate my exact steps, you saw it too?
[18:41] <Chipzzz> blue_pearl: is your "lsmod | snd" posted anywhere?
[18:42] <Chipzzz> blue_pearl: sorry... "lsmod | grep snd"
[18:42] <ThinkT510> Chipzzz: look at his screenshot, his speakers are muted
[18:42] <LucidGuy> roasted, correct .. and if you looked in the Desktop2 directory you would have found that it created another Desktop  dir . .with proper perms.
[18:42] <blue_pearl> ThinkT510, well MM is full i guess....how to unmute?
[18:42] <gribbly> I'm trying to use a unbuntu 11.10 livecd on a dell poweredge r510 server to access the hard disk. I need to make a change to a file for another distro to get the machine to boot. But the hard drive does not show up in /dev. I think this is because they are a raid 1 array. How can I load the drivers in the livecd session to access the hard disk?
[18:42] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: select it and press m
[18:43] <Chipzzz> ah-ha!
[18:43] <sskalnik_> If I have added a kernel module through DKMS but it doesn't show up in lsmod, what am I missing?
[18:43] <sskalnik_> I did the "sudo dkms install" part.
[18:43] <roasted> LucidGuy, ahh I see now!
[18:44] <roasted> LucidGuy, at least Iknow I'm not crazy... :P thanks for doing that
[18:44] <sskalnik_> roasted:  LucidGuy: was it just the slash?
[18:44] <blue_pearl> ThinkT510, Chipzzz , Got it now...thanx
[18:44] <ThinkT510> blue_pearl: no worries :)
[18:44] <LucidGuy> sskalnik_, yes.
[18:44] <Chipzzz> :)
[18:45] <sskalnik_> Learn something new everyday!
[18:45] <LucidGuy> roasted, should have taken a peak into the first directory to see if the files looked right .. and would have discovered the actual coply of Desktop
[18:47] <Benxyzzy> I just shared a folder in nautilus with Guest Access. The remote machine (on my local network) can see the files but when I go to access them, it still says they're locked. I didn't install the linux/SMB password sync thing because I don't want the two mixed up. What else do I need to do?
[18:50] <roasted> LucidGuy, yar, I see that now :(
[18:50] <roasted> LucidGuy, I suppose the only real benefit of using root to rsync is when the source contains files that that user doesnt have perms to?
[18:50] <sskalnik_> roasted:  Correct afaik
[18:51] <sskalnik_> roasted:  Or can't write to the destination.
[18:51] <LucidGuy> roasted, yes if you want to replicate perms of another user .. you require elevated privs....
[18:51] <roasted> LucidGuy, but sudo wouldn't be needed in the case of pam backing up to pam, would it? source /home/pam, destination pam's folder on file server.
[18:54] <mogul218> looking for help with speeding up sensitivity synaptic mousepad any help?
[18:55] <LucidGuy> roasted, if you want to change perms on anything to anything other then your own .. you will require elevated privs .. like sudo/root
[18:55] <ThinkT510> mogul218: isn't there a mouse settings?
[18:55] <roasted> LucidGuy, k. Reason I ask is I'm doing a remote backup from my parents computer to mine with rsync. My mothers home dir is all 755 but her home dir contents are coming over as 700
[18:56] <roasted> LucidGuy, its a huge transfer, which is hwy I was curious, when it gets done if it would set to 755...
[18:56] <roasted> LucidGuy, no root being used, -a in the mix, but she owns source and dest.
[18:56] <mogul218> they aren't satisfactory not very responsive.  I tried this solution http://johnny.chadda.se/article/speed-up-your-synaptics-touchpad-in-ubuntu/ but still not satisfied
[18:57] <mogul218> the same mousepad is way more responsive in windows
[18:57] <mogul218> i would like to use ubuntu more but the mousepad response is so sluggish than i'm used to
[18:57] <LucidGuy> roasted, depends on environment .. regardless .. correcting perms afterwards is easy/quick.
[18:57] <actualkishon> anyone there to help me recover my irc password?
[18:57] <Chipzzz> roasted: why don't you try it with a file or two and see what happens before doing the whole transfer?
[18:57] <oCean> actualkishon: you can ask in #freenode channel
[18:57] <theadmin> actualkishon: #freenode , not here
[18:57] <ThinkT510> actualkishon: they can help you in #freenode
[18:58] <actualkishon> thank you :-)
[18:58] <roasted> Chipzzz, good thought...
[18:58] <Chipzzz> :)
[18:58] <Trevor69420> nvm about winbind question i figured it out lol
[18:59] <flacoste> hey, i just upgraded to beta1 from alpha2 and am kind of surprised by the UI changes
[18:59] <flacoste> is this april 1st or what?
[18:59] <flacoste> where is the glo9bal menu?
[18:59] <flacoste> the close box movedf to the right again?
[18:59] <ThinkT510> !12.04 | flacoste
[18:59] <theadmin> flacoste: Precise isn't stable, so it might be broken...
[18:59] <theadmin> flacoste: Go to #ubuntu+1 for support with it
[18:59] <flacoste> ah, ok!
[18:59] <flacoste> thx
[19:00] <martin_tsc> last time i upgraded ubuntu to 11.04 my wireless wasnt working so I reverted.  Anyone know if that bug is fixed?
[19:00] <theadmin> martin_tsc: "that bug" can refer to a broad range of things that may happen. At least the model of your wlan card would help
[19:01] <martin_tsc> mainly curiosity, i might try it again on another partition and see if I can't get it to work.
[19:05] <kishon> where to place startup scripts for each individual user account in ubuntu?
[19:06] <MagePsycho>  hi guys
 tar -zcvf media.tar.gz --exclude import tmp * ----> i want to exclude import and tmp folder from media folder and tar the rest
 let me know the correct syntax
[19:06] <theadmin> MagePsycho: --exclude import --exclude tmp, for example.
[19:09] <MagePsycho> theadmin: tar -zcvf media.tar.gz --exclude=import --exclude=tmp * ??
[19:09] <theadmin> MagePsycho: Ah yes, like that, sorry
[19:09] <godofwar> does anyone know if there is a fix yet on Ubuntu 11.10 for the laggy window movement?
[19:10] <sw0rdfish> oh damn genii-around I left the ethernet cable plugged in and left the laptop for a while I had been pinged out
[19:10] <sw0rdfish> so i guess it requires a restart or doesn't work
[19:10] <LukeNukem> anybody with an android--ik its offtopic
[19:10] <LukeNukem> but curious
[19:10] <sw0rdfish> genii-around, I'll be heading out plz pm me if you want to respond, thanks for your help.

[19:12] <Benxyzzy> I just executed a mass chmod on the wrong directory :s
[19:17] <darkurza__> i need some help here
[19:17] <kishon> i want to have specific scripts run at bootup when a particular user logs in. (this is in a multi user ubuntu pc). And i want to have different scripts for different user. Any help on where such scripts should be kept?
[19:17] <newbie> hi
[19:18] <darkurza__> i recently bought an EEE PC R052C   (1025C) and installed XUBUNTU. the resolution is stuck at 800x600 and the hot keys dont work. can someone suggest a solution or some articles discussing this issue?
[19:18] <Alantas> (11.04) Font hinting doesn't seem to work anymore. In Xfce, I can change the hinting settings, and the CPU meter spikes for a bit, which is consistent with updating all screen text, but it doesn't change. Other things (such as subpixel settings) work/change normally. Also fails in KDE. No idea what might've caused it. Halp?
[19:19] <Guest439> i have install winxp with virtualbox in ubuntu 11.10, i enable usb controller and when i want to start virtual os i get error : --------------------

[19:19] <Guest439> IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
[19:19] <Alantas> It used to work fine, on this very same install. I don't remember doing anything significant that might've broken it. (*Maybe* KDE?)
[19:20] <aaGp> darkurza__, it must need the drivers for it
[19:21] <darkurza__> ok but this model seems new and asus doesnt seem to support it yet
[19:21] <darkurza__> can it be manually forced to work?
[19:21] <darkurza__> i mean, it's just a monitor...i dont see how a computer requires drivers for a monitor that is used on all other models...
[19:21] <darkurza__> almost all the other eeepcs out there have a 10.1 inch screen
[19:21] <aaGp> its not for the monitor, its for ur video card
[19:22] <Alantas> Could be the monitor itself. I had a CRT that could do 1280x1024 then one day it suddenly decided it didn't want to do more than 1024. No idea what caused it. Happened just the same when plugged into another machine.
[19:22] <Guest439> http://paste.ubuntu.com/865589/
[19:22] <Guest439> i get this error when i try to start my virtual os (winxp) with virtual box after enable USB controller
[19:22] <Alantas> (It's retired now. *Hugs LCD*)
[19:22] <Guest439> who can help me?
[19:23] <darkurza__> great...
[19:23] <darkurza__> my old computer breaks, i buy a new one and this is what happens
[19:23] <Alantas> Try `xrandr` in a console with that monitor, see what it says, maybe?
[19:23]  * Bsims grins got my computer set up did do something stupid
[19:23] <Alantas> (It should list supported modes and the like. That's about as far as *I* can help with such issues, alas.)
[19:24] <darkurza__> failed to get monitor refresh rate
[19:24] <darkurza__> the min,max and current sizes are 800x600
[19:24] <Bsims> I rsynced back my home dir right... into /home/bsims/bsims... silly me
[19:24] <darkurza__> 0.0 hz refresh rate
[19:24] <Alantas> Hmm. Surprised 800 is what it fell back to. I figured 640 was the resolutiona franca.
[19:24] <darkurza__> no idea
[19:25] <darkurza__> the native resolution is 1024x600
[19:25] <vostro> hi guys
[19:25] <darkurza__> 16:9 not 4:3
[19:25] <lilVaratep> hi guys
[19:25] <lilVaratep> I installed Terminator Terminal yesterday, it was working fine, and then I installed advanced settings and changed the theme, and now it doesn't work
[19:25] <lilVaratep> Anyone know a fix?
[19:26] <Bsims> try deleting its dot files
[19:26] <lilVaratep> where can i find its dot files?
[19:27] <lilVaratep> .config?
[19:27] <darkurza__> also atlantas, the operating system doesn't seem to recognize that this is a laptop and therefore, the brightness cannot be changed, touchpad works but cannot be disabled and the hotkeys are also not working
[19:27] <DynamicFail> How would I stream video in ubuntu with as close to zero latency as possible if the video format is a rtp or rtsp or webcam as input
[19:27] <darkurza__> except for sleep
[19:27] <Bsims> lilVaratep: that would be my guess
[19:27] <DynamicFail> vlc has about 2.5 seconds lag
[19:27] <Bsims> or .wierdterminalprogram.conf
[19:27] <Brina> in nano how do i copy a line of text that runs off the screen?
[19:28] <theadmin> Brina: No real way
[19:28] <theadmin> Brina: Copying is done with your terminal, not nano
[19:29] <RiXtEr-Work> Hey all is there an easy way to check my max IO on a disk? also can IO be increased?
[19:29] <Brina> its going to take too long to select all that text by scrolling
[19:30] <Alantas> Brina: Well, in the text editors I use, I'd put the cursor at the start of the line, hold Shift, then press Down to move to the next line. Tada.
[19:30] <genii-around> Brina: ctrl-k
[19:30] <guntbert> Brina: what are you trying to do?
[19:30] <Brina> i am running nano from the terminal
[19:30] <genii-around> Brina: ctrl-u to paste it back in
[19:30] <Brina> i need to copy text that runs off the screen
[19:30] <lilVaratep> I can't find the dot files for Terminator Terminal
[19:31] <theadmin> Brina: Try to redirect the output to a file: command | tee filename
[19:31] <theadmin> Brina: Then open the file and...
[19:31] <theadmin> Oh
[19:31] <theadmin> Never mind lol
[19:31] <Bsims> dunno then lilVaratep try locate programname
[19:31] <_Marcus> How do I mount a partition I made? I know what the label is.
[19:32] <Bsims> _Marcus: man mount
[19:32] <RiXtEr-Work> Brina, you trying to use a pastebin? check out pastebinit (apt-get install pastebinit)
[19:32] <genii-around> _Marcus: Did you put some filesystem on it yet?
[19:33] <_Marcus> genii-around: ext3

[19:34] <Dr_willis> atubuntu,  with what aspect of 'partitons'
[19:34] <lilVaratep> Those are some of the files I found with locate terminator
[19:34] <atubuntu> http://imagebin.org/201744 Dr_willis: can you tell is it a useful way to have root in extended partition .
[19:34] <genii-around> _Marcus: For a one-time command: sudo mount /dev/sdX# /mnt    then you can see it under /mnt  ( substitute sdX# with your real drive and partition) . For mounting every boot, use the fstab file
[19:34] <xpheres> hello
[19:35] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  "dot files" you mean the config files? most likely in .config/somthing terminator also uses gnome-shell
[19:35] <Dr_willis> atubuntu,  clarify what you mean.  You can have / in an extended.. i tend to alwyas use primaries. i rarely need more then 4 partitons on a drive
[19:35] <lilVaratep> DR_Willis, Termininator isn't opening for me, and someone suggested I delete the dot files
[19:36] <atubuntu> i want to know if this is the reason my system has become slow. also CPU overheats
[19:36] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  check its docs.  and the .config and .gnome* dirs. and if you are using locate. you would most likely want to 'sudo updatedb' to make sure the locate database is current
[19:36] <Dr_willis> atubuntu,   i doubt if having / on a extended partion would make it slow.
[19:37] <Brina> i can set a mark with ctrl+6
[19:38] <atubuntu> my swap does not shows me swapon option when right clicked here. does that mean its not allocated on startup?
[19:38] <lilVaratep> Dr_Willis: The .gnome and .config directories have nothing with Terminator in them
[19:38] <Dr_willis> atubuntu,  you are expecting some right click menu under X on the swap partition? normally a user dosent handle that stuff.
[19:39] <Canadian1296> I want to set up a mail server. Where should I start? (Obviously with the MTA, I mean is there a guide or something to help me through it?)
[19:39] <guntbert> !serverguide | Canadian1296
[19:39] <atubuntu> Dr_willis not menu when i right click swapon is still active. does that mean swap is off till now.
[19:41] <lilVaratep> Dr_Willis: The .gnome and .config directories have nothing with Terminator in them
[19:42] <Dr_willis> atubuntu,  what application are you right clicking in?
[19:42] <malkauns> how do u use HUD in the 12.04 beta?
[19:42] <atubuntu> Dr_willis: gparted. righclick swap partition
[19:42] <Dr_willis> malkauns,  ask in #ubuntu+1
[19:42] <malkauns> lol
[19:42] <Dr_willis> atubuntu,  you normally cant resize partions  that are in use. so if you are going to resize that partion, it needs to be off.
[19:43] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: .gnome and .config dirs dont have terminator at all in them
[19:43] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  im not on a liniux box so cant check.
[19:43] <Dr_willis> id say check the terminator homepage.
[19:43] <Dr_willis> actually terminator --help may have some reset/config/profile options as well
[19:43] <Dr_willis> and terminator does use the gnome-terminal configs in addation to its own.
[19:44] <Canadian1296> guntbert: Thank you! I've been looking and asking for weeks to no avail. Thats exactly what I needed.
[19:44] <lilVaratep> terminator --help doesn't work, man terminator does
[19:44] <lilVaratep> are they the same?
[19:44] <Dr_willis> No idea. Im not on a linux box to check.
[19:44] <Dr_willis> terminator is a python script that uses gnome-terminal last i looked.
[19:44] <guntbert> Canadian1296: glad it suits you - and in the future you might want to ask server questions in #ubuntu-server :)
[19:45] <Dr_willis> If i rember right.
[19:45] <vithos> where are the ansi colors defined for the console? (not an X terminal)
[19:45] <guntbert> !info terminator
[19:45] <Canadian1296> guntbert: Yes, but #ubuntu-server is usually pretty quiet, and I get better advice in here :P
[19:46] <lilVaratep> Anyone else know about the terminator terminal?
[19:46] <guntbert> Canadian1296: thats all right, if you know the channel :)
[19:46] <Canadian1296> lilVaratep: man terminator shows the manual pages for terminator. terminator --help is the help info for terminator. Same thing really
[19:46] <Dr_willis> http://software.jessies.org/terminator/
[19:46] <Alantas> Multiple terminals in one window? No one can live at that speed!
[19:47] <Alantas> (And Xfce's Terminal can use tabs, so.)
[19:47] <Dr_willis> oh wait thats the wrong terminator. :)
[19:47] <Dr_willis> Ubuntu Manpage: ~/.config/terminator/config - the config file for .
[19:47] <Dr_willis> Ubuntu Manpage: ~/.config/terminator/config - the config file for terminator.
[19:47] <Canadian1296> guntbert: Well I spend a lot of my time answering in #ubuntu and #ubuntu-server, as well as chatting in #ubuntu-offtopic, so I figured I'd ask wherever I'd get the best response.
[19:47] <Dr_willis> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/terminator_config.5.html
[19:47] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: I tried looking there already, nothing
[19:47] <mernilio> hi all! :-)
[19:48] <Dr_willis> then its aparently not an issue with the terminator .config file.
[19:48] <guntbert> Canadian1296: no problem :)
[19:49] <meegooo> is there any ppa for emacs 24 on 11.04 ?
[19:49] <dominike> ???
[19:49] <lilVaratep> Home is the same thing is ~/ correct?
[19:49] <mernilio> With that said, thanks for being open! Assholes in Slackware, Freebsd, Crux, .. i could mention several wants an "invitation" What the hell is that??
[19:49] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  yes.

[19:50] <mozura> Hello..
[19:50] <Dr_willis> !register
[19:50] <mernilio> This could be an issue, i dont think Stallman would like invitations!
[19:50] <Dr_willis> mernilio,  do you have a ubuntu support question?
[19:51] <mozura> I'm trying to use VBALink but having trouble since its and EXE. I already tried WINE. Can anyone help?
[19:52] <Dr_willis> mozura,  for windows apps. wine, or windows in a virtual machine are your 2 options.
[19:52] <macmartine> I'm sending the cron execution log to a file, and hte file gets created when it doesn't exist but nothing is written to it (like this https://gist.github.com/1960859 ) how come?
[19:52] <mernilio> Im serious now: The Free Software for the nobel peace prize?
[19:52] <Dr_willis> mernilio,  take general chitchat to #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[19:52] <mernilio> Dr_willis: if you dont have a valid questin i must let you go
[19:53] <paul_> Hi All Paul here just getting back into linux its amazing how much I've forgot
[19:53] <Dr_willis> paul_,  it pays to focus on the old skool fundamentals - those are always usefull.
[19:54] <LjL> !offtopic > mernilio
[19:54] <pangolin> mernilio: apologies for that dcc send. I clicked the wrong button
[19:54] <mozura> Well I downloaded VBALink 1.8 and it says that its for Linux also in the README file. It says I need to install SDL
[19:54] <mozura> Linux, MacOS X, BeOS:
[19:54] <mozura>   SDL (>= 1.2.2) runtime library must be installed prior to running the
[19:54] <mozura>   program. You can download it from http://www.libsdl.org
[19:54] <FloodBot1> mozura: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:54] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: If I can't find the dot files, maybe that's why it's not running?
[19:54] <mozura> Sorry.
[19:55] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  very unlikely. most apps default to either a set of defaults. or generate a default config file when ran.
[19:55] <marcelC> Hello!
[19:55] <marcelC> Guy's ! I have an .iso file which has 900 Mega and I need to burn it down to a 700 Mega CD, anyone has any ideea how to compress it? (It's a multi boot cd which has some tools on it like ubcd 4 dos, acronis, and 3 mini linux distributions)
[19:55] <mozura> Wasn't trying to flood. I went to the website, downloaded the newest version of SDL... no idea how to install it. I'm confused. o.o
[19:56] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  if terminator --help  is not working. theres some deeper issues going on.  it is written in python, so there could be some python issues
[19:56] <Dr_willis> moza,  sdl is in the repos.
[19:56] <Dr_willis> moza,  no need to download it from any web site.
[19:56] <mozura> Huh?
[19:56] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: would I have to install some python thing?
[19:56] <lilVaratep> I currently have Python2.7.2
[19:56] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  i never have. I use terminator all the time on my ubuntumachines with no hassles.
[19:57] <Dr_willis> i just sudo apt-get install terminator and away i go.
[19:57] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  if you have messed with python on your system. that could break terminator perhaps.
[19:57] <moza> Dr_willis, were you writing to mozura?
[19:57] <mozura> Dr_willis Are you trying to tell me that I already have it?
[19:57] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: Maybe I should try uninstalling the GNOME Tweak Tool as well as the themes? Because Terminator stopped working after changing my theme
[19:57] <Dr_willis> mozura,  sdl? yes. most likely you do
[19:58] <DoT> hi people
[19:58] <DoT> im new user
[19:58] <mozura> Then I have no idea why VBALink isn't working <.<
[19:58] <mernilio> Dr_willis: but what do you think? The free software movement to the nobel peace prize? We dont care about race, gender, age, looks! I used to be a fat guy, with no hope, but i wrote a programme who was downloaded +60.000 times. As a "looser" in other peoples minds, i dont feel like a looser when people liked my programme.
[19:59] <LjL> mozura: try installing the package libsdl1.2-dev
[19:59] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: Maybe I should try uninstalling the GNOME Tweak Tool as well as the themes? Because Terminator stopped working after changing my theme
[20:00] <mozura> I'll try that LjL
[20:01] <lilVaratep> How do I unininstall software in the terminal?
[20:01] <LjL> lilVaratep: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[20:01] <Dr_willis> !apt > lilVaratep
[20:01] <Canadian1296> ^^
[20:01] <lilVaratep> How do I check private messages?
[20:01] <lilVaratep> I'm running IRC on terminal
[20:02] <Dr_willis> depends on your client
[20:02] <LjL> lilVaratep: if you're using irssi, alt + number, where number is shown in your status bar

[20:09] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  what are you trying to remove?
[20:09] <infernal> zabomber: Yo
[20:09] <Dr_willis> mozura,  for windows apps. id check the wine app database.
[20:10] <Dr_willis> mozura,  or was that the one needing sdl? :)
[20:10] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: the terminator package, I removed it, but can still use the man terminal command
[20:10] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  you mean 'man terminator' ?
[20:10] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: yes
[20:10] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  it may be cached in ram, no big deal.
[20:11] <mozura> Yes Dr_willis, That was the one.
[20:11] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: I now reinstalled again, and it still doesn't work
[20:11] <mozura> SDL (>= 1.2.2) runtime library must be installed prior to running the
[20:11] <mozura>   program.
[20:12] <mozura> THat is what the README file says... and I'm confused. :/
[20:12] <Dr_willis> mozura,  and where did this program come from? it could be it was compiled wanting a differnt version of the sdl libs.
[20:12] <N3M35I5_> anyone know fo a simple way to email a users .bash_history after they logout and then delete it. so next time they logout i'll get a fresh log. please guys
[20:12] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: I tried running x-terminal-emulator that I found, and terminator works that way
[20:13] <mozura> Dr_willis, I don't know how to compile or anything like that. I'm very very new to all of this.
[20:13] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  try running 'terminator' from 'x-terminal-emulator' propmt and see if it works. :)
[20:14] <disasm> Having issues with gettext in ubuntu... if I export LANG=de_DE, and then run a program that uses gettext (http://oriya.sarovar.org/docs/gettext%5Fsingle.html), it still outputs without translation. However; if I hardcode setlocale(LC_ALL,'or_IN') in my program it works.
[20:14] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: the x-terminal-emular IS the terminator terminal, =P. Now to find a way to make a shortcut to open it
[20:14] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  yes. I understand.. but just the binary/command should also work., 'terminator'
[20:15] <Dr_willis> since x-terminal-emulator is a link to the terminator binary it sounds like.
[20:15] <gener1c> i dont have access to that machine but can windows print raw aswell?
[20:15] <gener1c> i have an ubuntu printing server....
[20:15] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: using the command 'terminal' does not work =\
[20:15] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: i mean terminator
[20:15] <Dr_willis> and what does it do exactly?
[20:15] <lilVaratep> DR_willis: using the command 'terminator' does nothing
[20:16] <Dr_willis> it returns to the shell? it does not return?
[20:16] <Dr_willis> and how did you install terminator?
[20:16] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: it just goes to a new line and I am able to do another command
[20:16] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: I used sudo apt-get install terminator
[20:16] <Dr_willis> try terminator --help from within terminator. :)
[20:17] <Dr_willis> could be its just bringing the first terminator to the front. but ive never noticed it working tha tway
[20:17] <ubuntu> quit
[20:17] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: terminator --help does nothing
[20:18] <itaylor57> lilVaratep, what is the response to which terminator?
[20:18] <lilVaratep> itaylor57: What do you mean? when I try to open terminator using dash, it just blinks and does nothing. when I try to open with terminal, it just newlines and lets me enter another command
[20:19] <itaylor57> lilVaratep, type in terminal "which terminator"
[20:19] <itaylor57> without the quotes
[20:19] <gener1c> say does anybody have a clue to why would my computer kernel panic only when i leave it for more than 5 minuts?
[20:19] <lilVaratep> itaylor57: usr/local/bin/terminator
[20:19] <gener1c> sounds like it has abandoning issues
[20:19] <itaylor57> lilVaratep, that should not be, you have someything installed locally
[20:20] <lilVaratep> itaylor57: what should I do?
[20:20] <itaylor57> lilVaratep, I have no idea what you manually installed
[20:20] <joebodo> terminator is installed for me in /usr/bin/terminator
[20:20] <Dr_willis> you added any extra repos for terminator?
[20:20] <lilVaratep> itaylor57: I used sudo apt-get install terminator one time and another time i used the software
[20:20] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: yes i did
[20:20] <Dr_willis> of coruse it could be his terminator issues may get fixed if he now logs out/back in and lets the system rehash the paths
[20:21] <Dr_willis> or run 'rehash' from a terminal, then see if 'terminator' works
[20:21] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: rhash?
[20:21] <Dr_willis> 'rehash' like i said...
[20:21] <lilVaratep> rehash does not work
[20:22] <Dr_willis> and how do you know it does not work? what did you do exactly....
[20:22] <km8> for a two-way ssl between apache proxy and tomcat, where tomcat require client certificate authenication from apache proxy server (note that the client cert auth is not from a client browser). what apache ssl directives can i use to pass the server certificate to tomcat for a two-way client authenication?
[20:22] <VIPER-II> anyone in here with Raid1 experience?
[20:22] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: i typed 'rehash' and it says no command found
[20:22] <Dr_willis> thoght rehash was a bash built in.
[20:23] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  may be just easier to try a log out/back in to get stuff back to a sane state and see if it works then.
[20:23] <joebodo> if you rerun "sudo apt-get install terminator" -  it should say it's already installed
[20:23] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: i have already tried restarting computer
[20:23] <joebodo> the normal ubuntu 11.10 install puts it in /usr/bin/terminator
[20:23] <VIPER-II> I have a Raid1 configured on my linux machine. One of the HDD died, so I have the replacement now. Seems mdraid can re-introduce the new drive into the Raid1 team?
[20:24] <ubie> Hi, I am new and I was wondering if most printers and scanners would work on ubuntu.
[20:24] <lilVaratep> joebodo: have you had a problem with terminator not opening?
[20:24] <ThinkT510> ubie: depends on the model
[20:24] <joebodo> nah - works every time - i just installed it about 2 weeks ago
[20:24] <ThinkT510> !cups | ubie
[20:24] <OerHeks>  lots of options with terminator >>> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/terminator.1.html
[20:24] <lilVaratep> joebodo: it opens if i manually find it in usr/local/bin but it doesn't work via terminal command
[20:24] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  your issue is that you seem to have installed terminator from 2 differnt repos somehow.
[20:24] <ubie> It is a canoscan LiDE 700f.
[20:24] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: what can I do?
[20:24] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  try runniung   /usr/bin/terminator
[20:24] <itaylor57> lilVaratep, your problem is your path is finding whatever you manually installed locally in /usr/local/bin, until you remove that you will not solve your problem
[20:25] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: the terminator in the bin works, but I want it to work without manually double clicking it
[20:25] <ubie> Then I thin my model is not supported :-(
[20:25] <steve82>  would like to know if there is anyway to remove Gnome options from the environment selection on the session manager in Ubuntu 12.04? Thank you in advance.
[20:26] <joebodo> opening from terminal works fine - what do you get with "set | grep TERM" ?
[20:26] <ubie> Then I have to scan it on windows and then mail it to my linux computer.
[20:26] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  see if there is an actual /usr/local/bin/terminator file or not..
[20:26] <ThinkT510> !12.04 | steve82
[20:26] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: yes there is a terminator file in the bin
[20:27] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  in  /usr/local/bin? not the other /usr/bin you mean?
[20:27] <joebodo> lilVaratep, i dont have a /usr/local/bin/terminator - just /usr/bin/terminator
[20:27] <lilVaratep> Yes, I have terminator in both /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin
[20:27] <Dr_willis> rename /usr/local/bin/terminator to /usr/local/bin/terminator-i-dont-know-how-this-got-here   ;)
[20:27] <Dr_willis> then it will use the /usr/bin/terminaor
[20:27] <joebodo> lilVaratep, what does 'which terminator' show ?
[20:28] <lilVaratep> /usr/local/bin/terminator
[20:28] <itaylor57> joebodo, it shows /usr/local/bin/terminator
[20:28] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis it won't let me rename the terminator in /local/bin
[20:28] <OerHeks> lilVaratep, so terminator works, use Ctrl-Shift-E: split vertically
[20:28] <OerHeks> Ctrl-Shift-O: split horizontally Ctrl-Shift-N: focus to next Ctrl-Shift-P: focus to previous Ctrl-Shift-W: close  like the manual shows you
[20:28] <Dr_willis> lilVaratep,  you need to use sudo rights to do so,
[20:29] <joebodo> lilVaratep, also, when it installed, it should have added a /usr/share/applications/terminator.desktop file that has the definition for the menu/shell
[20:30] <Dr_willis> i dont rember the apt commands to tell what package a specific file came from.  could see where that /usr/local/bin/terminator came from and try to purge that package
[20:30] <Dr_willis> unless you used the source..
[20:30] <steve82> would like to know if there is anyway to remove Gnome options from the environment selection on the session manager in Ubuntu 12.04? Thank you in advance.
[20:30] <lilVaratep> YES!!! Terminator now works
[20:30] <ThinkT510> !12.04 | steve82
[20:30] <Dr_willis> steve82,  ask in #ubuntu+1   and lightdm gets its sessions from various .desktop files
[20:30] <lilVaratep> Thanks guys!
[20:31] <lilVaratep> Now, how can I set a hotkey to open up Terminator?
[20:31] <Dr_willis> if x-terminal-emulator is set to terminaor there should allreayd be a hot key that launches it.
[20:31] <Dr_willis> i just make an icon. :)
[20:32] <engammalsko> Hi I need help with changing the language on Ubuntu 11.10 (The GUI isn't working)
[20:32] <engammalsko> Is there a way to change the language with terminal? I already have the language installed.
[20:33] <zul0> what is the best option to synchronize folders between 2 computers with ubuntu?
[20:33] <lilVaratep> Dr_willis: how do i make an icon to open the terminator?
[20:33] <itaylor57> zul0, rsync is good
[20:34] <disasm> engammalsko: having issues as well, except I'm trying to do it from CLI
[20:34] <engammalsko> disasm: What's CLI?
[20:34] <blitz> anyone know of a good tool to visualize recent svn commits?
[20:34] <joebodo> lilVaratep, i pasted my desktop file to you in a pm
[20:34] <engammalsko> disasm: nvm. It's a shell too.
[20:35] <zul0> thanks itaylor57
[20:35] <itaylor57> zul0, np
[20:36] <Chipzzz> you guys trying to switch languages might try the ubuntu forum for the language you're switching to
[20:36] <lilVaratep> I created a shortcut key to terminator with keyboard settings =]
[20:36] <joebodo> blitz, what do you mean by visualize ?
[20:36] <lilVaratep> Is there a way to make terminator transparent?
[20:36] <engammalsko> My system uses 40% English and 60% Swedish -.- When I chose Swedish as language it seems like it didn't apply to all the text.
[20:36] <joebodo> lilVaratep, right click in window and go to preferences
[20:36] <joebodo> lilVaratep, lots of things you can customize
[20:37] <lilVaratep> joebodo: do you have a cool color layout I can steal?
[20:37] <disasm> interesting, ubuntu specific commands my locale is working with...
[20:37] <joebodo> lilVaratep, i have it set to black - so no :D
[20:37] <Chipzzz> engammalsko: off the top of my head, it sounds like the applications might have to be switched separately, but it's just a guess
[20:38] <Roders182> hi
[20:39] <engammalsko> Chipzzz: It's not only the applications that has wrong languages. But maybe that's not what you meant? Do you know how to solve it?
[20:39] <ulyedalplo> pump up the nirvanna
[20:39] <ulyedalplo> ahhh it's a wonderful day
[20:40] <engammalsko> #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:40] <engammalsko> oops
[20:41] <disasm> Chipzzz: did something change with the way c code gets the locale in 11.10? When I run make I get *** Keine Targets angegeben und keine »make«-Steuerdatei gefunden. - but when I compile a helloworld gettext program, it thinks the locale is C
[20:41] <Chipzzz> engammalsko: no, sorry, but i think there should be a channel for swedish
[20:41] <joebodo> lilVaratep, i sent you another pm for toggling terminator on a hotkey
[20:41] <Chipzzz> engammalsko: they might know there
[20:41] <lilVaratep> joebodo: I already use ctrl alt x for the shortcut, thanks though =D
[20:42] <lilVaratep> Now I just need to set the colors
[20:42] <lilVaratep> Make it all styley
[20:42] <Chipzzz> disasm: no idea, sorry
[20:42] <codepal> trouble with a lubuntu 11.10 install
[20:42] <joebodo> lilVaratep, mine shows it on the hotkey, and if it's visible, the hotkey switches back to the previous window
[20:42] <lilVaratep> joebodo: not sure what you mean =o
[20:42] <joebodo> lilVaratep, ala guake terminatl
[20:42] <ulyedalplo> :-)
[20:42] <codepal> I swapped out the hdd from a laptop to a desktop machine & back again
[20:42] <lilVaratep> joebodo: i have guake already
[20:42] <codepal> and now wifi won't work
[20:43] <sun_devil> I want to install keepass on my ubuntu but do not know where to start
[20:43] <codepal> it's got the settings there but won't stay locked
[20:43] <joebodo> lilVaratep, so hotkey shows it - hotkey again hides it
[20:43] <lilVaratep> codpal: you probably have to format
[20:43] <codepal> sun_devil, goto their webpage
[20:43] <lilVaratep> joebodo: oh, like guake?
[20:43] <joebodo> lilVaratep, yeah
[20:43] <codepal> lilVaratep, I am not going to format
[20:43] <macmartine> With this simple scron script, what would cause this 'exit status 1' error? https://gist.github.com/1961183
[20:43] <macmartine> *cron
[20:44] <lilVaratep> joebodo: can you re-message?
[20:44] <codepal> I'll plug in an eth0 before I format
[20:44] <codepal> sun_devil, download their .tar.gz for linux
[20:45] <Zal> macmartine, some possibilities: script is not executable, log file directory does not exist or is not writable.
[20:45] <disasm> got it... setlocale(LC_ALL, "") instead of setlocate(LC_ALL, NULL)
[20:45] <lilVaratep> joebodo: how do you make it guake-like?
[20:45] <ePax> How strong encryption passwords should be if i want to encreypt whole disk? Is there eny site so i can test encrypted passwors?
[20:45] <disasm> thanks Chipzzz!
[20:46] <joebodo> lilVaratep, i made a script from what i pm'd then set that to alt+.
[20:46] <Chipzzz> engammalsko: to join ubuntu swedish channel: "/join ubuntu-se"
[20:46] <joebodo> lilVaratep, (i pm'd it again)
[20:46] <lilVaratep> joebodo: okay thanks
[20:46] <Zaitzev> if I have two drives containing a directory each, that has the same type of content (photos, movies, music), is it possible to "mount" those directories so it can be seen as one?
[20:47] <macmartine> Zal: yep, log directory issue. thanks!
[20:47] <codepal> if a hdd isn't movable between desktop to laptop... why wasn't I told?
[20:48] <sun_devil> I have a copy of Keepass rpm in downloads not sure what to do
[20:48] <Zal> Zaitzev, hm, I think there are filesystems that will do that, but you'd have to reformat. Meanwhile, you could just mount both under the same parent directly, e.g., /media/foo and /media/bar
[20:48] <codepal> that's ludicris, ubuntu shouldn't be so finickity
[20:48] <itaylor57> codepal, that would happen on any linux distro
[20:48] <Zaitzev> they're mounted as /media/drive and /media/anotherdrive yes.
[20:48] <codepal> sun_devil, sorry, wrong advise before... apt-cache search keepassx
[20:48] <codepal> itaylor57, not puppylinux....
[20:49] <engammalsko> Chipzzz: I tried that a while ago and it worked. I've already joined the channel. Ty anywat ^_^
[20:49] <codepal> some distros don't store settings
[20:49] <sun_devil> should I un tar it
[20:49] <codepal> sun_devil, do you know how to use a terminal?
[20:49] <Chipzzz> engammalsko: sorry i couldn't be more help... good luck :)
[20:49] <sun_devil> Just basic commands
[20:49] <codepal> sun_devil, cause that tar.gz is useless
[20:50] <Zal> Zaitzev, check out unionfs
[20:50] <codepal> sun_devil, unless you want to compile it
[20:50] <sun_devil> no, just open it
[20:50] <codepal> sun_devil, apt-get install keepassx
[20:50] <Zaitzev> Zal: So I HAVE to format for it to work?
[20:50] <codepal> sun_devil, in a terminal
[20:50] <Zaitzev> since those two drives are full of data I don't want to lose, that's not an option
[20:50] <codepal> sun_devil, and if you don't run as root, use sudo before that...
[20:50] <Zaitzev> if it can't be done I guess I'll make due as is!
[20:50] <sun_devil> ok, forgot thanks. Ubuntu version of yum
[20:50] <Zal> Zaitzev, I'm not sure, unionfs may be another layer on top of your fs. I don't know much about it, other than that it does what I think you want.
[20:50] <macmartine> this is in the syslog, but i want it to send the execution log to the one in this command but it's not working. shouldn't it? it does create the log file if it doesn't exist https://gist.github.com/1961220
[20:51] <Zaitzev> oki
[20:52] <lilVaratep> joebodo: what filetype to save it as?
[20:54] <sun_devil> did a sudo apt-get install keepassz , says could not find package?
[20:54] <lilVaratep> How can I monitor the network traffic and bandwidth in terminal?
[20:55] <Zal> lilVaratep, tcpdump will show you traffic
[20:55] <sun_devil> codepal, got a error could not find package?
[20:56] <OerHeks> sun_devil, keepassz without z
[20:56] <mahendra_> first test message
[20:56] <lilVaratep> How do I use tcpdump?
[20:56] <sun_devil> nope could not find it
[20:57] <OerHeks> sun_devil, like codepal said: sudo apt-get install keepassx
[20:57] <Zal> lilVaratep, by reading the manual page, just like any command :-)
[20:58] <sun_devil> got it thanks
[20:59] <lilVaratep> Anyone know any fun/useful things to run in terminal? I wanna have a cool set-up =D
[20:59] <john_doe_jr> when you type in a terminal...I'd like to see my options for a particular command without having to do a man 'command' ...does anyone know if that's possible?
[20:59] <lilVaratep> I currently have network traffic, finch, and irc in terminal. anyone have any more fun things to run in here?
[21:00] <itaylor57> john_doe_jr, usually  --help with after the command
[21:00] <Zal> lilVaratep, mc and mutt are fun.
[21:00] <Captain_Proton> lilstevie, xxxterm it a webbroswer
[21:01] <lilVaratep> What is MC? And Mutt is the e-mail correct?
[21:01] <Captain_Proton> no a webkit browser built in the trem
[21:01] <Zal> lilVaratep, midnight commander is a file browser. Yes, mutt is an email client.
[21:01] <KingPhisher> I just lost the game.
[21:02] <john_doe_jr> itaylor57: thank you ...exactly what I was looking for
[21:02] <itaylor57> john_doe_jr, your welcome
[21:04] <dmitry_> Hello!
[21:05] <myersg> whats new in the beta 1?
[21:06] <ikonia> myersg: it's worth reading about it if your serious, rather than just asking randomly
[21:06] <lilVaratep> Ouch, Mutt uses VIM, which I don't know how to use
[21:06] <ikonia> lilVaratep: it can use any editor you want
[21:07] <lilVaratep> How do I change it?
[21:07] <joebodo> ikonia, i've read the beta notes - do you know if gnome-shell will be updated ?
[21:07] <ikonia> lilVaratep: I believe it responds to the EDITOR varible
[21:07] <ikonia> joebodo: yes it will
[21:07] <joebodo> ikonia, didnt see anything about it ...
[21:07] <ikonia> most of the gnome components are getting up dated
[21:08] <ikonia> joebodo: the release notes only cover (I think) the main repo
[21:08] <ikonia> joebodo: gnome-shell is not in the main repo
[21:08] <ikonia> !info gnome-shell
[21:08] <joebodo> ikonia, ahh ok
[21:08] <ikonia> joebodo: there you go it's in universe
[21:08] <joebodo> ikonia, thx mate
[21:09] <joebodo> now to get kicked ....
[21:09] <joebodo> gnome-shell > unity !
[21:09] <BaseBallBoy> okay so I installed the nvidia X server settings and I got everything configured like I wanted it, I reboot my computer and my monitors are setup like 2 complete different computers. 2 applications, 2 of everything. I'm running 10.04.03
[21:09] <joebodo> lol
[21:09] <Gentoo64> gnome-shell > nothing
[21:10] <module000> Gentoo64: s/nothing/unity    FTFY
[21:10] <joebodo> Gentoo64, well that applies to everything
[21:10] <Kolibabchuk> Hello, World!
[21:10] <Schles> hey guys. I want to change the content inside the notification.
[21:11] <ablyss> BaseBallBoy, in ubuntu 11.10 you can specify the second monitor to mirror or be independent
[21:11] <Schles> i want the 2 lines (title and body) in one line
[21:12] <shivam7074> please help i m trying to install but this happens http://pastebin.com/V7amNzWm
[21:13] <Spyros> BaseBallBoy, i have three monitors
[21:13] <BaseBallBoy> ablyss: That doesn't really help me
[21:13] <BaseBallBoy> Spyros: cool?
[21:13] <Spyros> yes
[21:13] <Spyros> !!
[21:13] <BaseBallBoy> I have 2 :D
[21:13] <dougl> !netflix
[21:13] <Spyros> thumbs upD
[21:13] <Spyros> :D
[21:13] <ablyss> shivam7074, that usually happens if you have another package manager running
[21:14] <martian> shivam7074: like synaptic
[21:14] <shivam7074> wat u all saying cant get???
[21:14] <skutr34> Hey, I suddenly can't play music with Banshee.. I select my track and click play, but nothing happens... I know I have the codecs and plugins installed because I've played the songs before...
[21:14] <ablyss> BaseBallBoy, have you tried the nvidia gui utility?
[21:15] <martian> shivam7074: I don't understand your question. "wat u all saying cant get???"
[21:15] <BaseBallBoy> ablyss: that's what I thought I was using
[21:16] <martian> shivam7074: only one software installer can run at a time. If you have Synaptic Package Manager open, you can't use 'apt-get insatll'
[21:16] <shivam7074> wat is package manager n synaptic, pls tell, so that i can fix my prob???
[21:17] <martian> shivam7074: could you please use actual words. If you don't see a window open called synaptic package manager, then you probably don't have it running. Are you currently running an update?
[21:17] <Kolibabchuk> Hello!
[21:17] <ablyss> shivam7074,  "synaptic" manages packages.  It lets you install/uninstall ubuntu software
[21:18] <shivam7074> no but intalling vlc...
[21:18] <Kolibabchuk> omnomnom =3
[21:18] <martian> shivam7074: you can only install one thing at a time
[21:18] <Kolibabchuk> :3
[21:19] <shivam7074> pls tell isnt there any way to run multi downlaods???
[21:19] <ablyss> shivam7074, use synaptic and not apt-get from terminal
[21:20] <shivam7074> pls ellaborate i m a new user, how to do it???
[21:20] <ablyss> technically you could use apt-get from terminal as long as you specify all the software on one line
[21:21] <guntbert> shivam7074: of course you can:      sudo apt-get install <package1> <package2> .....
[21:22] <ablyss> kind of a pain the whazoo when you have lots of software
[21:22] <GintasDX> Heya, I got a problem with xdg-open it can't handle URLs with & symbol.
[21:22] <macmartine> I'm getting this stuff in my log, but no others users have access to this machine. would it be a bot trying to hack in? https://gist.github.com/1961429
[21:23] <guntbert> macmartine: not necessarily a bot :)
[21:24] <Ampelbein> macmartine: Yeah, that's a typical scriptkiddie attack. I'd suggest using something like fail2ban if the tryouts get excessive.
[21:24] <macmartine> guntbert: but someone? what's recommended i do?
[21:24] <macmartine> Ampelbein: ok, not super uncommon?
[21:24] <Ampelbein> macmartine: It's normal.
[21:24] <TinoDidriksen> How can I generate a DVD-DL ISO image that will automount with the files executable? I've tried "genisoimage -gid 0 -uid 0 -J -l -f -v -v -R -r -pad -dir-mode 0755 -file-mode 0755 -udf -o image.iso data" but that automounts with all files as mode 0400. The files in data folder are executable.
[21:24] <guntbert> macmartine: if it happens very often have a look at fail2ban (not sure if it will handle vsftp)
[21:25] <ikonia> common sense
[21:25] <mahdy> elham⣿ hi , are you new here ?
[21:25] <ikonia> firewall your machine off to smaller range, remove / lock standard name accounts, use tools such as fail2ban to firewall brute force
[21:25] <elham> mahdy✌ hi ,yeah it seems like this :d

[21:31] <Canadian1296> I set up a mail server (postfix and dovecot). How do I actually use it? I tested with telnet and got a 250, but how do I actually send and receive mail?

[21:31] <dougl> is there a way to run virtual iOS or other tablet OS on ubuntu?
[21:32] <ikonia> dougl: no
[21:32] <ThinkT510> dougl: you could use qemu or virtualbox
[21:32] <CFHowlett> dougl   virtual ios?  pretty  sure that can only be done on an apple platform
[21:32] <codepal> itaylor57, lilVaratep - my solution was pluggin in eth0 cable - installing network-manager-gnome, then running nm-applet from the terminal
[21:32] <codepal> thanks for all your help btw
[21:32] <ikonia> dougl: ios is not open source and not available outside an apple product or developer agrement
[21:32] <martian> dougl: look in to VirtualBox; it can run Android, and perhaps others.
[21:32] <nd456> Can anyone help my update Luminance on my ubuntu?

[21:33] <ikonia> shivam7074: now what ?
[21:33] <Canadian1296> iOS can only be virtualized in xcode in OS X (as far as I know)
[21:33] <dougl> thanks guys....
[21:33] <CFHowlett> Canadian1296   agreed ..
[21:33] <toubsu> why does the gnome-tweak-tool never apply the changes i choose?
[21:33] <toubsu> in particular, theme settings
[21:33] <shivam7074> i read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus it tells i need???
[21:34] <ikonia> shivam7074: what ?
[21:34] <maury> i have problems installing qemu-kvm
[21:34] <shivam7074> anti-virus or firewall
[21:34] <ikonia> shivam7074: I've just told you
[21:35] <ikonia> shivam7074: why are you asking again
[21:35] <ThinkT510> shivam7074: normally you will not need them on linux
[21:35] <pangolin> shivam7074: you don't need anti-virus if you want you can install clamtk like the wiki page says
[21:35] <maury> this appears: Errors were encountered while processing:
[21:35] <maury>  /var/cache/apt/archives/qemu-kvm_0.14.1+noroms-0ubuntu6.2_amd64.deb
[21:35] <martian> shivam7074: the answer to your question is as follows: short answer is NO, long answer is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus
[21:35] <maury> i google the possible solutions but nothing works
[21:36] <pangolin> maury: try sudo apt-get -f install
[21:36] <pangolin> -f will try to fix and finish installing
[21:36] <maury> i tried that already
[21:36] <pangolin> maury: purge it and try installing it again
[21:37] <shivam7074> sorry i don know anythin i just started using other OS like this i do know difference btween linux n ubuntu i thought that ubuntu was under linux!!!
[21:37] <maury> how to purge it?
[21:37] <maury> sudo apt-get purge qemu-kvm?
[21:37] <pangolin> maury: sudo apt-get purge package
[21:37] <maury> ok cool
[21:37] <ikonia> shivam7074 ubuntu is linux
[21:38] <martian> shivam7074: ubuntu is a type of linux, like how a fiesta is a type of ford... sorta
[21:38] <phpN00b> hi
[21:38] <KingPhisher> shivam7074 linux is the fiesta motor and ubuntu is the rest

[21:40] <lilVaratep> Is there a way to upgrade my Ubuntu distro or do I have to do a reinstall?
[21:40] <KingPhisher> martian: i guess :P
[21:40] <ThinkT510> lilVaratep: what version you using?
[21:40] <lilVaratep> 11.10
[21:40] <pangolin> maury: looks like you got larger issues at hand. I'm not the one who can help you with this, sorry.
[21:40] <Jimbo99> that is the latest
[21:40] <ThinkT510> lilVaratep: then you don't need to upgrade, you are on the latest
[21:40] <lilVaratep> ThinkT510: I thought latest was 12.04?
[21:41] <KingPhisher> lilVaratep: 12.04 is still in beta
[21:41] <ThinkT510> lilVaratep: thats the one under development
[21:41] <maury> ok thanks pangolin
[21:41] <lilVaratep> OKay thanks
[21:41] <lilVaratep> You guys know of any fun and useful things to run in terminal? I'm currently using terminator terminal and I'd like to unbore it
[21:41] <superstraw> i know i can "cat /dev/zero > zero ; rm zero" to zero out a drive, but how do I use all 1's instead of zeros?
[21:42] <ThinkT510> lilVaratep: dungeon crawl stone soup
[21:42] <Ampelbein> maury: You can try to catch your error with apport and report it on launchpad: Do 'sudo service apport start force_start=1', after that do 'sudo apt-get -f install' and send the report.
[21:42] <velko> maury, have you tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" already?
[21:42] <KingPhisher> lilVaratep: :(){:|:&};: if someone tells you to write that don't type it ever :)
[21:43] <Jordan_U> !danger

[21:43] <Jordan_U> KingPhisher: There was no need to give that command, in any context. Please don't do it again.
[21:43] <martian> lilVaratep: mplayer -vo aa somemovie.avi
[21:43] <maury> velko, yes
[21:43] <KingPhisher> Jordan_U sorry I'm new here
[21:43] <maury> how do i send the report?
[21:43] <lilVaratep> martian: what?
[21:44] <maury> Ampelbein,
[21:44] <Ampelbein> maury: There should be a apport bug reporting window popping up.
[21:44] <martian> lilVaratep: you asked for super useful stuff for the terminal. what's better than ascii video!?
[21:44] <ThinkT510> martian: an ascii game (roguelikes rock!)
[21:45] <maury> no i did not get any window
[21:45] <maury>  sudo service apport start force_start=1
[21:45] <maury> apport start/running
[21:45] <Ampelbein> maury: did you do 'sudo apt-get -f install' after that? Do you still get the error?
[21:45] <maury> yes
[21:46] <Ampelbein> maury: Is there anything in /var/crash?
[21:46] <maury> yes
[21:46] <maury> dnsmasq.0.crash  openssh-server.0.crash  qemu-kvm.0.crash  vde2.0.crash
[21:47] <e-head_> Hi
[21:47] <e-head_> I'm curious whats the official way to disable start up scripts now on a system using upstart?
[21:48] <e-head_> Googling turns up a plethera of different options. Is there an "official" method?
[21:48] <Ampelbein> maury: Ok, for every file in there do: 'apport-bug /var/crash/<name_of_the_crash_file>'.
[21:49] <itaylor57> e-head_, i would say no
[21:49] <e-head_> itaylor57: do you have an opinion on what the "best" method is?
[21:50] <maury> ok thanks Ampelbein
[21:50] <e-head_> Does anyone have an opinion on what the best method is for that matter.
[21:51] <JMLatvala> Anyone tried the 12.04 beta yet?
[21:51] <shivam7074> thnx IKONIA a lot or in cena's style love or hate u cant debate dat u rock...and thxs to matian, pangolin n Thinkt510...i'll try to think t510...but wats it???
[21:51] <CFHowlett> !precise|jmlatvala
[21:52] <ThinkT510> JMLatvala: people in #ubuntu+1 have
[21:52] <JMLatvala> Ah, wrong channel
[21:52] <ThinkT510> shivam7074: thinkpad t510
[21:52] <JMLatvala> I'm sorry :-)
[21:52] <trism> e-head_: if you are on ubuntu natty+, override files are probably the least intrusive: disabling a service on startup is simply: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/servicename.override; you can still start it manually with: sudo start servicename; and delete the file to start it on boot again
[21:53] <itaylor57> e-head_, http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ is the best source for ubuntu
[21:53] <shivam7074> so ur using it???
[21:54] <ThinkT510> shivam7074: indeed
[21:54] <trism> e-head_: reference in the above mentioned cookbook: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting
[21:54] <skinnux99> ive installed ubuntu on a dell e6400, but cant get the resolution able 1280x800, xrandr confirms the highest mode available is that
[21:54] <e-head_> thanks!
[21:54] <skinnux99> but the card supports much higher resolution
[21:54] <shivam7074> awesome which one 4384???
[21:54] <Trevor69420> hey guys i have a question for you.....  I have my ubuntu server at home acting as my router (DHCP, FIREWALL, DNS, ETC)  is there a way that I can block popups from my server so that it applies to all my client PCs
[21:55] <skinnux99> anyone know what else i cant try?
[21:55] <ThinkT510> skinnux99: the card might but does the monitor?
[21:56] <velko_> Trevor69420, i guess privoxy can do that
[21:56] <Guest25521> new to Ubuntu and Lenox. Recently installed Ubuntu 11.04, but wifi adapter is not being located. Adapter is fine, I can use BLAG and the wifi works fine. Any suggestions?
[21:56] <skinnux99> yeah
[21:56] <skinnux99> its a laptop but the docs say the max is 1440x900
[21:56] <Trevor69420> velko, interesting i'll look into that
[21:56] <skinnux99> it looks pretty horrible at 1280x800
[21:57] <VIPER-II> anyone familiar with "dmraid" ?
[21:58] <ParahSailin_> been having skype die and require a kill -9 to fix problem
[21:58] <engammalsko> I'm going to switch to mint. What's the best way of uninstalling Ubuntu? It's NOT on a seperate partition.
[21:58] <CFHowlett> engammalsko   just install over ubuntu and format
[21:58] <ThinkT510> engammalsko: a wubi install?
[21:59] <engammalsko> ThinkT510: What's that? *googles*
[21:59] <ThinkT510> !wubi | engammalsko
[22:00] <engammalsko> ThinkT510: So I acutally need windows? (I have windows so it's no problem anyway)
[22:00] <engammalsko> ThinkT510: Ty.
[22:00] <ThinkT510> engammalsko: then how do you have a ubuntu install thats not on its own partition?
[22:01] <engammalsko> ThinkT510: Maybe I'm running another Linux, BSD or Mac dist? :p
[22:01] <Trevor69420> velko_, quick question... have you used privoxy before?
[22:02] <ThinkT510> engammalsko: you said you want to uninstall ubuntum how do you have it installed if it isn't on its own partition?
[22:03] <Sleep_Walker> hi, quick and small request for all users of notebooks and smartphones - I'm creating tool for faking MAC address for anonymous connection to WiFi networks, if you would send me first 3 bytes of your MAC address of wireless device along with vendor name, it would be appreciated. There are some databases already, but I'd like to have list of vendor MAC addresses of real devices (not to use broadcom venor part used only in routers etc.).
[22:03] <engammalsko> ThinkT510: Oh nvm. Now when you said it I remember that I actually installed ubuntu from windows instead of directly from the CD. So I guess I've already used wubi.
[22:03] <ThinkT510> Sleep_Walker: please don't spam
[22:03] <velko_> Trevor69420, yes a couple of years ago. i'm not using it now
[22:03] <Sleep_Walker> ThinkT510: there will be no more lines from me...
[22:04] <Trevor69420> velko_ maybe u know the answer... is the listening address suppose to be the LAN side or the WAN side
[22:04] <Trevor69420> i assume LAN right ?
[22:04] <shivam7074> how can i change the look of ubuntu by themes, can i directly get and aplly them or i need other sw???
[22:05] <velko_> Trevor69420, sorry i don't know
[22:05] <Trevor69420> oh
[22:05] <Trevor69420> guess i'll find out in a sec
[22:05] <john_doe_jr> Is there a way to reload the information in your ~/.profile with out having to restart your computer?
[22:05] <velko_> Trevor69420, i used it with one machine only
[22:05] <lilVaratep> Anyone find a great dark-colored wallpaper background for terminal/terminator?
[22:05] <itaylor57> john_doe_jr, . .profile
[22:05] <itaylor57> or source .profile

[22:07] <lilVaratep> Anyone find a great dark-colored wallpaper background for terminal/terminator?!! =D
[22:07] <shivam7074> how can i change the look of ubuntu by themes, can i directly get and aplly them or i need other sw???
[22:08] <john_doe_jr> itaylor57: what do you mean .~/.profile?
[22:08] <lilVaratep> shivam7074: sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
[22:08] <itaylor57> john_doe_jr, . ~/.profile run that in a terminal
[22:08] <shivam7074> n then???
[22:08] <Zal> john_doe_jr, you missed a space after the first dot. "." by itself is another spelling of "source"
[22:08] <itaylor57> john_doe_jr, the . says read in
[22:09] <lilVaratep> shivam7074: then in dash search: advanced settings
[22:09] <[AJS]> lilVaratep: does gnome-tweak-tool work with unity?
[22:09] <lilVaratep> AJS: yes it does
[22:09] <[AJS]> lilVaratep: ah I did not know that
[22:09] <lilVaratep> AJS: Currenty on 11.10 with gnome-tweak-tool

[22:21] <wejq> hi guys, i have been messing a bit with grub, and suddenly i realised that something isnt loading, it's a desktop icons title color, and the windows look are too rectangle-like. So i put back backup, but it still occurs
[22:22] <wejq> what should it be, which thing is responsible to this
[22:22] <ikonia> wejq: grub doesn't change your desktop them
[22:22] <ikonia> theme
[22:22] <wejq> it. grub - i only changed OS titles and background (unsuccesfully)
[22:22] <wejq> ok
[22:23] <wejq> i just told ya what i did before that problem
[22:23] <wejq> as possible point of change
[22:23] <wejq> so what could it be ?
[22:23] <ikonia> wejq: I didn't see anything beyond you saying you where messing a bit with grub
[22:23] <ikonia> wejq: hence why I said grub does not change the look/appreence of your desktop
[22:24] <wejq> ok, ok
[22:24] <wejq> i know
[22:26] <icarious> can anyone tell me if AAC is an open standard? or is it patented ?
[22:26] <ThinkT510> wejq: you didn't add or remove nomodeset when messing with grub did you?
[22:27] <xcalibur1978> is there anyone who can help me on this issue? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9541178/cant-connect-to-external-ip-hostname-running-within-my-network
[22:27] <ikonia> the guys on stackoverflow I guess
[22:28] <dwatkins> xcalibur1978: my router also doesn't allow loopback traffic to forwarded ports from an internal machine on the same network, you could always just spoof it by editing your hostfile
[22:29] <xcalibur1978> dwatkins, thanks
[22:29] <WLU> does gnome-shell work with nvidia and multiple monitors. It keeps on falling back to failsafe when I use nvidia-settings to have the second monitor displayed. On one monitor all is fine.
[22:29] <xcalibur1978> dwatkins I think I have to change all the hostfiles within my network?
[22:30] <Timmy> does ubuntu support lvm?
[22:30] <ikonia> Timmy: yes
[22:30] <dwatkins> xcalibur1978: that depends what you want to do, it's a bit of a hack, as you'd have to remove the entry if you take a laptop outside the network etc.
[22:30] <haylo> netinstall 11.04 failed twice with unetbootin and now with .iso to dvd. ending up wiht black screen and no grub menu
[22:30] <Timmy> i want to install but during the installation it seems that it could not recognize my lvm
[22:30] <dwatkins> xcalibur1978: what's the reason for wanting to use the external hostname on the internal network? Can't you just use the machine's internal name?
[22:30] <ikonia> Timmy: lvm needs to be created at install time, you can't use existing lvm, as that will be limited to the OS that hosts the LVM
[22:31] <ikonia> xcalibur1978: you need to use dns views
[22:31] <wolfmitchell> Can I install ubuntu normally alongside windows, still being able to boot Windows?
[22:31] <ikonia> wolfmitchell: yes
[22:31] <ikonia> !dualboot | wolfmitchell
[22:32] <wolfmitchell> Without WUBI? Because I hate it's space limitations.
[22:32] <xcalibur1978> dwatkins of course i can use the internal ip. But it is difficult to test subdomains and such stuff
[22:32] <ikonia> wolfmitchell: read the link
[22:32] <wolfmitchell> Am now.
[22:33] <dwatkins> xcalibur1978: yeah, as ikonia says, you can run bind and use views
[22:33] <wejq> ThinkT510: im sure no, but afterwards i put backup there and it's still occuring
[22:34] <xcalibur1978> dwatkins / ikonia I am already googling that. Thanks guys!
[22:34] <Timmy> i can resize the lvm physical volume. but idk how to resize the partition which has the lvm on it self to create a new partition. do u know how i can do this?
[22:34] <ikonia> Timmy: you won't be able to resize the partition that is in use by lvm
[22:34] <Timmy> so what can i do now? :'(
[22:35] <ikonia> Timmy: in what respect ?
[22:35] <wejq> ThinkT510: everything appears good but nautillus
[22:35] <Timmy> solving this problem, i mean installing ubuntu inside of my other os
[22:35] <ikonia> Timmy: buy a new disk
[22:36] <Timmy> ikonia: dude, this is a laptop, i've a lot of disk and this is not solving the problem ,it's just removing the problem
[22:36] <ikonia> Timmy: ok, remove your other OS, repartition the disk sensibly for a dual boot system

[22:49] <skinnux99> i have a fresh install of ubuntu and the gnome and ubuntu window managers look like crap
[22:49] <skinnux99> how can i fix this?
[22:50] <FavLedesma> Hmm i was looking around and saw that going into the f6 menu and choosing nomodeset would help but was a little hesitant
[22:50] <smilcha> has anyone got free shell account to use? my BT broadband sucks,  wanna get some bnc for irc
[22:50] <shavington> kDE4
[22:52] <shavington> Just by infinity not sure if it was a good move
[22:53] <Someus> smilcha want bnc?
[22:53] <Someus> i got one
[22:53] <shavington> I hope to use apache in ubuntu as a web server
[22:54] <Hubert_> óżku, ty ponoć tez lżysz tylko na kolanach masz... laptopa

[22:55] <CrapForgotNickPW> Hi all. I'm having difficulty building a driver under 10.04-server LTS
[22:55] <CFHowlett> !pl|Hubert_
[22:55] <CrapForgotNickPW> The driver is for the LSI 'fusion' series of controllers.
[22:56] <Hubert_> ubottu: wiesz, że to error był prawda? ;)_
[22:56] <Hubert_> he he he
[22:56] <CrapForgotNickPW> The diver code appears to use a newer kernel API than the stock Ubuntu source tree
[22:57] <CrapForgotNickPW> I'm sure there are patches, but not exactly sure where to look.
[22:57] <CrapForgotNickPW> ANyone adept at this? Is there a better channel to ask?
[22:57] <Seven_Six_Two> I have jockey-recommended nvidia binary, xorg set to separate x-screens. For some reason I can't get it to work all the way. Unity gives me 1 proper desktop and 1 low-res-and-without-panels, kde gives me 1 proper desktop, and one that won't show windows (only panels and widged menus). The second (in kde) shows apps in task manager but not on desktop, where there is just a gradient. Any ideas?
[22:58] <Hubert_> CFHowlett :)
[23:00] <Hubert_> CFHowlett: yes, pol, not ru ;) thx
[23:00] <CFHowlett> Hubert_   sorry.  No insult intended.
[23:00] <Hubert_> np ;)
[23:04] <Chipzzz> Seven_Six_Two: identical monitors?
[23:05] <neodypsis> How do you install Nginx to run as www-data?
[23:06] <ki7mt> nginx is the cache server, apache usually does the heavy lifitign and http config ..
[23:07] <ki7mt> but you can run it stand allone, there's lots of how-too's on the nginx site, just google nginx
[23:08] <Seven_Six_Two> Chipzzz, not same make and model, but both 22" 1680x1050 @60
[23:09] <Chipzzz> Seven_Six_Two: try switching them and see if the problem changes to the other desktop
[23:09] <LogicallyDashing> I've got a video capture card. I can play the video from it, but it's just snow at the moment. It's not supposed to be. I've got an RCA video cable plugged in. I think the card is showing me what's coming in through the coaxial jack, which doesn't have anything plugged in at the moment. So I need to switch inputs. How do I do this? ivtv-ctl doesn't seem to have an option for this...
[23:09] <Seven_Six_Two> Chipzzz, it's not the monitor, it works perfectly using twinview
[23:09] <palladin35y> anyone here uses komposer
[23:09] <Chipzzz> ah...just a thought
[23:10] <CFHowlett> palladin35y   kompozer support @ http://kompozer.net/community.php
[23:10] <Seven_Six_Two> Chipzzz, and I can see the mouse as it goes over the desktop, but not the windows. The panel is shown
[23:10] <neodypsis> ki7mt: I would run Nginx + FastCGI and not Apache, to speed up a Magento installation on a limited VPS
[23:11] <neodypsis> with just Apache, page loads are too slow
[23:11] <palladin35y> thank you CFHowlett
[23:11] <Chipzzz> Seven_Six_Two: hmmm...
[23:12] <ki7mt> you can run all of it from / with Nginx, FasCGI, PHP etc, it's up to the admin, I just prefer apache/php/cgi and Nginx fer cache / proxy work.
[23:13] <Seven_Six_Two> Chipzzz, funny thing, when I hover over the boxes in the task manager, I get a preview of the window. I even entered my wallet password without seeing the window.
[23:13] <Random832> my laptop says the battery is not present
[23:13] <Random832> how do i diagnose what is going on? could this be a software problem?
[23:15] <ki7mt> neodypsis, it's OT but, from my experiences, serving up static content sing Nginx & CDN's with apache proved the best solution for the VPS I had.
[23:16] <hakim> hello everybody
[23:16] <hakim> have anyone tested snort?
[23:16] <danny> hello how do i allow the updating of untrusted packages the ubuntu update manager wont alow me to update anything
[23:16] <Random832> okay, apparently it says that when it is almost fully discharged
[23:16] <ikonia> I've "used" snort
[23:16] <Seven_Six_Two> I've tried snort too
[23:17] <neodypsis> ki7mt: thanks for your suggestions
[23:17] <hakim> oh well
[23:17] <Chipzzz> Seven_Six_Two: have you looked around nvidia's site & tried a couple of different versions of their driver?
[23:17] <hakim> can you give a good doc for snort
[23:17] <hakim> I must use it for my degree
[23:17] <Seven_Six_Two> Chipzzz, yeah, and nvidia-settings doesn't work with older drivers, so it's a pita to use them...
[23:18] <ikonia> hakim: the snort website has excellent documentation
[23:18] <Chipzzz> Seven_Six_Two: difficult situation... it does sound like the problem is with the driver, thoug
[23:18] <hakim> the documentation from the site do you mean?
[23:18] <ikonia> hakim: correct
[23:19] <Seven_Six_Two> Chipzzz, I thought since it was rendering that maybe plasma wasn't starting for the second desktop
[23:19] <hakim> ok thank you should start from there
[23:19] <hakim> tell me is it easy to install it?
[23:19] <neodypsis> ki7mt: have you used www.varnish-cache.org ?
[23:20] <ryan___> Hello. Is there a way to partition the hard drive currently in use using Ubuntu 11.10? I have tried both KDE partition manager and GParted. It said that the device was busy.
[23:20] <ryan___> There should be a way to do it, since you can with Windows...
[23:21] <ki7mt> neodypsis, I played with it a bit in a dev environment a while back, but limited use, and never on a production server.
[23:21] <neodypsis> ok
[23:21] <_Marcus> ryan___: I just tried that today. Get the GParted live cd, and boot to that. You can then access the device, because it's not being used.
[23:21] <_Marcus> !gparted | ryan___
[23:21] <_Marcus> That may help
[23:22] <CFHowlett> ryan___   _marcus gparted is on the live ubuntu cd ...
[23:22] <ryan___> _Marcus: Can I use Unetbootin to put it on a USB?
[23:22] <ryan___> *USB stick
[23:22] <_Marcus> CFHowlett: I feel that GParted's live cd runs faster than Ubuntu's live cd.
[23:22] <_Marcus> ryan___: I don't know
[23:23] <CFHowlett> _Marcus   fair enough
[23:23] <ryan___> _Marcus: Thanks!
[23:24] <ki7mt> neodypsis, the big boys are running apache, nginx and content delivery networks (CDN's). I tested and ran that setup on UB & Centod5 servers. There fast, very fast.
[23:25] <neodypsis> ki7mt, in that setup, apache is forwarded the dynamic php content?
[23:26] <Random832> bug - gvim doesn't show scrollbars properly
[23:26] <Random832> is there a way to just go back to normal scrollbars?
[23:26] <Random832> i get them anyway in firefox and thunderbird
[23:26] <User_007> hello! my indicator-power only shows timer remaining... is there a way to set it to only show percentage?
[23:27] <ki7mt> Yeah, php/scritps back to apache, text, images, compressed files etc etc (static stuff) front-end to Nginx.
[23:27] <capslock286> is there a way to get my system working with a UEFI-partition again? Ever since Windows was uninstalled, this has been removed aswell. I am trying to get Lucid Lynx boot through UEFI instead of BIOS Legacy
[23:27] <neodypsis> and what are the CDNs useful for?
[23:28] <ki7mt> Speed EU.AS,US dont pull big files from single source.
[23:29] <ki7mt> Does the same thing as mirrors basically.
[23:29] <Gentoo64> http://goo.gl/rJjVQ
[23:29] <CFHowlett> !ot|Gentoo64
[23:31] <capslock286> I would appreciate to get some guiding in configuring the UEFI-partition properly under Lucid. Anyone who would like to troubleshoot it?
[23:31] <neodypsis> ki7mt, ok thanks for the info
[23:31] <Gentoo64> fucker
[23:32] <CFHowlett> !ops|gentoo64
[23:33] <Athanasius> ikonia: +b *!*@2001:470:681e:0:*
[23:33] <Athanasius> ... not that
[23:34] <_Marcus> Aw, for a moment there we couldn't use the nick "+b" here, lol
[23:34] <UzbeK> is there any free bnc?
[23:34] <ikonia> UzbeK: nothing to do with this channel
[23:35] <pangolin> UzbeK: znc is in the repos
[23:37] <danny> hello how do i allow the updating of untrusted packages the ubuntu update manager wont alow me to update anything
[23:37] <capslock286> How can I configure Grub2 on a UEFI-partition? I have not succeeded in in compiling GRUB2 according to this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting#Kernel_unbootable_without_noefi
[23:38] <pangolin> capslock286: try #grub
[23:38] <capslock286> ok. thanks!
[23:41] <Yossi> is there a nice way to delete only empy directories?
[23:42] <Yossi> like mkdir a b; touch a/foo
[23:42] <Yossi> then run a command that would delete b and not a
[23:44] <dfrkp> Yossi: rmdir
[23:45] <Yossi> awesome, thanks
[23:46] <spazbite> å
[23:47] <Pecker> is there any old repos for the old releases? or did they all go away?
[23:48] <CFHowlett> Pecker  archives.ubuntu.com IIRC
[23:50] <zykotic10> !eol | Pecker
[23:51] <Pecker> i know supprot stopped..jsut wonder if i can still dlownload old updates
[23:51] <humungulous> Pecker: i think they literally empty the repositories at eol
[23:52] <geirha> Pecker: Yes, the EOLUpgrades page explains how
[23:52] <jrib> Yosique: rmdir will delete a directory only if it is empty
[23:57] <indio> Hi. I get the duplicate entry at sources.list error. How do I solve it? I can't duplicate entries in that file.
[23:58] <humungulous> indio: duplication of any URL constitutes the error, it need not be a duplicate entire line
[23:59] <Fyodorovna> indio, you get the actual file in a terminal update save it go to the sources.list use crtl-f to find and remove the extra. If it is not there look in etc/apt/sources.list.d
