[00:00] <zykotick9> velko_: doesn't matter - only ubuntu is supported in #ubuntu
[00:00] <velko_> zykotick9, so call the ops to kick me out
[00:00] <brianp1992> okay i figured it out, heres the url http://pastebin.com/kn4C0dPA
[00:01] <shade34321> brianp1992, pastebinit is the command and package name...sorry had to switch to my ubuntu computer
[00:01] <bastidrazor> velko_: he means this issue did not occur in Ubuntu therefore is not a valid question/answer session here.
[00:02] <brianp1992> http://pastebin.com/kn4C0dPA
[00:02] <velko_> bastidrazor, i do understand this. but i'm not using ubuntu either. am i therefore not qualified enough to talk on this channel?
[00:02] <Praxi> who told me to use xfce earlier? was that trevor?
[00:03] <zykotick9> velko_: i don't use ubuntu either - but i don't seek support for my distro in this channel
[00:04] <brianp1992> shade34321, the error mesage when i uninstall programs via software center http://pastebin.com/kn4C0dPA
[00:05] <VGN-AR31E> hello guys
[00:05] <VGN-AR31E> anyone in here tonight?
[00:05] <shade34321> brianp1992, is that just installation of anything or something specific?
[00:05] <VGN-AR31E> need HELP!
[00:05] <velko_> zykotick9, ok. i apologize if my words were not chosen carefully enough. what i wanted to say is that i don't think that his problem is arch-specific. so he's not asking for arch support on the ubuntu channel
[00:05] <brianp1992> shade34321, it will pop up when installing/uninstalling anything
[00:06] <jamilto> teste
[00:06] <pcfreak2> hey guys

[00:07] <brianp1992> shade34321, it will pop up when installing/uninstalling anything
[00:07] <VGN-AR31E> lol no no - had enough of windows
[00:07] <shade34321> brianp1992, have you seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1482704&page=2
[00:07] <Praxi> VGN-AR31E, trying that myself now for the record though, dumped my windows box, installed ubuntu
[00:07] <tynajas> algun español?
[00:07] <VGN-AR31E> want to switch to linux
[00:07] <shade34321> and/or tried it?
[00:07] <Praxi> this is my second day with it
[00:08] <zykotick9> !es | tynajas
[00:08] <VGN-AR31E> any probs praxi?
[00:08] <brianp1992> shade34321, i love you
[00:08] <Praxi> ya tons of productivity problems
[00:08] <shade34321> brianp1992, lol
[00:08] <VGN-AR31E> hummm.... thats no good :/
[00:08] <Praxi> I'm a windows admin, with some minor linux admin
[00:08] <shade34321> brianp1992, make sure it fixes the issue first:)
[00:08] <shade34321> brianp1992, so then I can go celebrate for actualy helping somebody:D
[00:08] <danny> hello i am trying to install teamviewer wicth is a program that was ported over using wine much like google picasa i beilve and when i install the .deb 64 bit file it went all good until i try to open the porgram and thats when i get this "failed to load tvwine.dll.so " "could not load the GNU/Linux extension shared library tvwine.dll.so
[00:08] <brianp1992> shade34321, yes, im pretty shure its what im looking for
[00:08] <VGN-AR31E> what computer do you have?
[00:09] <Praxi> manage a few magento stores, open-erp and a few things like that for linux, but I mainly do a bunch of MS SQL data mining.
[00:09] <VGN-AR31E> hummm... right
[00:09] <Praxi> built computer, intel 2500k, 8gb ram, nvidia card
[00:09] <VGN-AR31E> worrying.... as your a computer wizz and getting probs
[00:09] <Praxi> I'm not a linux wizz though
[00:10] <Praxi> this channel has helped me quite a bit, but still it shouldn't be that difficult hehe
[00:10] <VGN-AR31E> hummm I am neither -- just fed up of windows
[00:10] <Praxi> admittedly a lot of it I did to myself
[00:10] <VGN-AR31E> okay... have you tried any other linux os?
[00:11] <Praxi> I wanted to try centrific? a tool to authenticate me against my active directory and provide me with access to my network resources.  It prevented me from loggin in, had to goto terminal and delete my user profiles and uninstall it, there was a few hours wasted.
[00:11] <zykotick9> VGN-AR31E: gnu/linux if for people that hate windows.  BSD is for people that hate gnu/linux.  and OpenBSD is for people that hate everyone.  </joke>
[00:12] <VGN-AR31E> lol at zykotick
[00:12] <Praxi> so far linux doesn't like my big canon copier that we print label stock on, it prints, but only in black & white, having trouble finding a good driver for it.
[00:12] <brianp1992> shade34321, when i went to apt-get install  nvidia-kernel-common    it was unavailable, do i really need it lol?
[00:12] <VGN-AR31E> hummm... i got this coming weekend to sort my laptop out
[00:12] <VGN-AR31E> not sure if i want to take the risk :/
[00:12] <VGN-AR31E> been reading - linux would/might not install a lot of the devices?
[00:12] <Praxi> I tried mint a few months ago on a vm, it wasn't bad, ubuntu is probably friendlier to noobs like me though
[00:13] <VGN-AR31E> hummm so should go with ubuntu if i install linux?
[00:13] <Praxi> take a good backup and give it a whirl, what do you mainly do?  maybe I have had some xp with that and can offer noob insight into it
[00:13] <mneptok> VGN-AR31E: it's not "install." it's "does the device vendor provide open specifications?"
[00:13] <VGN-AR31E> or would anyone recommend differently for my Sony Vaio VGN AR31E?
[00:14] <mneptok> VGN-AR31E: a Live session will sort all this out.
[00:14] <danny> so how would i be able to add tvwine.dll.so to my dependecies or were ever it should go ?
[00:14] <shade34321> brianp1992, honestly I"m not sure but I'd see if you can update first
[00:14] <VGN-AR31E> a live session?
[00:14] <Praxi> ya thats very true VGN-AR31E get the ubuntu cd, boot off it, but dont install it, it lets you try
[00:14] <Praxi> gives you a functioning ubuntu desktop without installing
[00:15] <VGN-AR31E> right....
[00:15] <zykotick9> VGN-AR31E: the only suggestions you'll get here are for ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu for a more audience you might want to ask in the ##linux channel
[00:15] <mneptok> VGN-AR31E: download a Live CD image. burn it. boot from CD. run Ubuntu. see what it does. no changes to your hard disk.
[00:15] <VGN-AR31E> so I can download it and burn it onto a cd
[00:15] <VGN-AR31E> to be used?
[00:15] <Praxi> ya
[00:15] <VGN-AR31E> aaah brilliant!!!!
[00:15] <VGN-AR31E> cheers
[00:15] <linuxdude2> what we talking about peeps??
[00:16] <GASSYPOOTS> i dunno
[00:16] <VGN-AR31E> thats fab... thanks praxi and mneptok
[00:16] <linuxdude2> what do you guys want to talk about??
[00:16] <GASSYPOOTS> who used a liveusb?
[00:16] <linuxdude2> i have a liveusb
[00:16] <linuxdude2> of ubuntu

[00:17] <VGN-AR31E> cool praxi
[00:17] <shade34321> brianp1992, sounds good
[00:18] <mneptok> linuxdude2: and you continue to send multiple inputlines for single thought. please stop.
[00:18] <pengw> hi
[00:18] <linuxdude2> i will, ive never used IRC before
[00:18] <Wabs> flooding must be bad in this channel to have 3 bots for it
[00:19] <linuxdude2> yet I'm a huge nerd, jailbreaking peoples iPods and iPhones for $5, trying to save up money for Starhawk for PS3
[00:19] <pengw> i got a question i use glade3 and python and I have 3 text entry, Now I want to pass these three boxs's text to a function to calculate. So what should I do?
[00:19] <GASSYPOOTS> the only thing i dont like about ubuntu is i cant use flash so noyoutube repeater
[00:19] <linuxdude2> for what??
[00:19] <no-name-> does the 32-bit version have a RAM limit like windows does? (I have 8gb)
[00:19] <pengw> it is quite hard to find a good glade gtk tutorial
[00:19] <linuxdude2> you can use flash in Ubuntu.....
[00:19] <Praxi> 4gb limit for 32b?
[00:19] <linuxdude2> #GASSYPOOTS
[00:19] <GASSYPOOTS> how?
[00:20] <linuxdude2> hold on
[00:20] <brianp1992> shade34321, alright, same thing happend,  heres what it says http://pastebin.com/KeE0T7rf
[00:20] <GASSYPOOTS> not in chromium
[00:20] <zykotick9> no-name-: yes, 32bit can only address 3.?GB of RAM, PAE is a "hack" that lets you use more.  If your CPU supports 64bit, with 8GB i'd use it.
[00:20] <no-name-> zykotick9: thanks
[00:20] <GASSYPOOTS> im usbooting XD new word :P

[00:36] <Dogears> How do I add Sun-jre to the repository on 10.10?
[00:36] <Bray90820> i did
[00:37] <zykotick9> Dogears: if you want sun-java these days, download it direct for Oracle (see "/msg ubottu java" link for more details)
[00:37] <Praxi> hmm I'm using xfce on 11.10, is there any reason I couldn't do away with the default panels and just use docky?
[00:37] <Dogears> Thanks
[00:38] <Praxi> is there anyway to add a notification area to Docky?
[00:42] <allure> Why isn't gparted detecting my usb thumb so I can repartition it?
[00:43] <Jordan_U> allure: Is the device not listed in the top right, or is it listed but shows as "unpartitioned"?
[00:43] <allure> Jordan_U: not listed on the top right
[00:43] <Jordan_U> allure: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[00:44] <allure> Jordan_U: sure, just a second
[00:45] <allure> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/4XfuJq6q
[00:45] <danny> hello i am trying to install teamviewer wicth is a program that was ported over using wine much like google picasa i beilve and when i install the .deb 64 bit file it went all good until i try to open the porgram and thats when i get this "failed to load tvwine.dll.so " "could not load the GNU/Linux extension shared library tvwine.dll.so
[00:46] <Jordan_U> allure: Is any utility able to detect this drive?
[00:46] <Praxi> I just installed that Danny, was something I had to do, but it told me about it
[00:46] <allure> Jordan_U: it is automounted, then I umount it so I could edit the partition table on gparted, but it's not detected there
[00:46] <Jordan_U> allure: How did you umount it?
[00:47] <danny> Praxi, so um did u figue out whats wrong ?
[00:47] <allure> Jordan_U: clicking on the eject on the file manager
[00:47] <Praxi> I didn't get an error
[00:48] <Jordan_U> allure: That's the problem. "eject" also turns the device off in addition to unmounting it. You'll need to unplug and replug the drive to access it again.
[00:48] <Praxi> in the software center, think it had one other step listed in its description I had to do.
[00:48] <Praxi> I'm using it now though
[00:48] <allure> Jordan_U: ooh! I see. Thank you, I'm going to try that
[00:48] <Jordan_U> allure: To unmount it either find an "unmount" option in nautilus, use the unmount option in GParted, or use the "umount" command.
[00:48] <Jordan_U> allure: You're welcome.
[00:49] <allure> Jordan_U: yes, it does work! Thank you :)
[00:49] <Jordan_U> allure: You're welcome :)
[00:49] <Praxi> first time you run it, has to be run from a terminal thats what it was Danny
[00:49] <danny> praxi, how do i do that
[00:50] <Praxi> ctrl alt T then type teamviewer7
[00:50] <Praxi> not sure if that fixes your tvwine issue though, guess you find out
[00:50] <Guest76761> Hey guys, I need some help adding a plugin to Pidgin so I can use qq.
[00:51] <Guest76761> Was wondering if anyone can give me a hand for a minute.
[00:51] <danny> gave me the same error i am using ubuntu 12.04 but i didnt think that would have an effect on it would it praxi
[00:51] <danny> Praxi, gave me the same error i am using ubuntu 12.04 but i didnt think that would have an effect on it would it
[00:51] <Praxi> ya probably not hehe
[00:52] <Praxi> no other good advice for you, other than reinstall, verify your x64 type stuff
[00:53] <peasant> Guest76761: Heavy lifting required?
[00:53] <danny> well how do i delete a program i installed using the softwarecenter and a .deb package its not in the software center so i dont know how to delete it
[00:53] <Guest76761> Nah, just need to use your fingers :P
[00:54] <Praxi> hmm
[00:54] <peasant> Guest76761: Ask away.
[00:54] <TrentonAdams> hey guys.  I forget the commands to completely re-initialize your grub installation, in you've changed a bunch of stuff since first install.  For example, you might have added lvm, or changed a drive, etc.  Anyone recall?
[00:55] <Ronin01> Im Making A New Fstab Entry For A Hard Drive I Just Mounted But Blkid Wont Return Its UUID
[00:55] <Guest76761> Sent you a message peasant.
[00:55] <Ronin01> can anyone tell me the command?
[00:55] <Ronin01> I am in the directory I just mounted but blkid still wont see it
[00:55] <zykotick9> TrentonAdams: "sudo update-grub" you mean?
[00:56] <Ronin01> maybe
[00:56] <Ronin01> i just recovered this system
[00:56] <Ronin01> the grub was messed up before
[00:56] <TrentonAdams> zykotick9: there were more commands than that.  I think that may have been just one of them.
[00:56] <Ronin01> yeah
[00:56] <zykotick9> !grub2 | TrentonAdams
[00:56] <Ronin01> thanks
[00:57] <Praxi> hmm my xfce is too small, looks like it needs anti aliasing everywhere
[00:57] <Ronin01> ok the update-grub didnt work
[00:58] <Ronin01> grub is the wrong way to go
[00:58] <Ronin01> because it has nothing in it
[00:58] <Ronin01> for grub to see
[00:58] <Ronin01> can someone help me locate its UUID by command line?
[00:58] <Ronin01> I tried researching it before wasting anyones time
[00:59] <zykotick9> Ronin01: "sudo blkid" is the correct command.  check if there is anything interesting in "dmesg", prehaps the drive isn't being detected by the kernel?
[00:59] <Ronin01> oh wait
[00:59] <Ronin01> thanks that did it
[00:59] <Ronin01> i wasnt sudo blkid
[00:59] <Ronin01> ....

[00:59] <Bsims> why the heck doesn't ubuntu one have a progress bar?
[00:59] <Josh|Killjoy> whats the command do install python 3 via terminal?
[01:00] <bastidrazor> W 3
[01:00]  * FraterM sees lots of progress bars in software center.
[01:00] <Bsims> FraterM: not in ubuntu one
[01:02] <bastidrazor> Josh|Killjoy: python 3 is not in the ubuntu repositories.
[01:02] <zykotick9> Josh|Killjoy: even 12.04 is using python 2.X - you could check for a PPA, but good luck with that

[01:10] <zykotick9> !time
[01:12] <zykotick9> sorry about ^^^, why does !time in the channel give above factoid, while "time" in PM with ubottu give the time/date?
[01:12] <ok> hi
[01:13] <Fyodorovna> zykotick9, what does time am give?
[01:13] <philipballew> when compiling to i need to make as root or just make install (checkinstall) as root?
[01:13] <wylde> philipballew: you can compile as normal user
[01:13] <zykotick9> Fyodorovna: sorry, i don't understand your question
[01:13] <wylde> philipballew: and yes you need to sudo make install
[01:14] <Fyodorovna> zykotick9, I thought you meant !time pm I have not seen the command.
[01:14] <zykotick9> philipballew: are you familiar with checkinstall?  If not "/msg ubottu checkinstall"
[01:15] <philipballew> zykotick9, yes I am. Can someone tell me what this fail message means http://paste.ubuntu.com/873890/
[01:15] <peasant> I already started pvmove.  Anyone know how to see progress?
[01:15] <zykotick9> Fyodorovna: if you just give !time in the channel you get the NTP factoid, if you "/msg ubotto !time" it returns the current time/date
[01:16] <Fyodorovna> zykotick9, ah I'm a bit slow, well most of the time really. :)

[01:30] <itaylor57> skmsmslk, http://mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html
[01:34] <Dogears> How do I check which java versions are installed?
[01:35] <itaylor57> Dogears, to check which java you are using type java -version in terminal
[01:36] <itaylor57> Dogears, to set which java sudo update-alternatives --config java
[01:38] <GhostRyder> Holy moly
 it not working ?
[01:38] <itaylor57> skmsmslk, what is not working?
[01:39] <skmsmslk> it is not describing briefly ?
[01:39] <GhostRyder> I have never seen this many people in one chat room
[01:39] <itaylor57> skmsmslk, what version of ubuntu are you running,and what java have you installed?
[01:40] <celthunder> GhostRyder: there are bigger and smaller ones
[01:40] <skmsmslk> ubuntu 11.10 and i donot which version of java !
[01:40] <GhostRyder> Hello celthunder
[01:41] <itaylor57> skmsmslk, what is the output from "java -version" typed into terminal with out the quotes?
[01:42] <skmsmslk> The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:.............................
[01:45] <itaylor57> skmsmslk, read the following link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
 use openjdk to replace java
[01:46] <DJSKiDD> hi all
[01:46] <DJSKiDD> woops I need #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:47] <skmsmslk> are u serious !
[01:47] <skmsmslk> what is openjdk ?
[01:48] <hiexpo> !openjdk
[01:48] <itaylor57> skmsmslk, if you want to run oracle 7 follow this http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html
 to install a program i use "netbeans" which uses java I have to use openjdk instead
[01:48] <KI7MT> skmsmslk, it's open-source implementation of the Java SE Platform
[01:49] <waxstone> Oracle (Sun) Java 6 is no longer available to be distributed by Ubuntu, because of license issues.
[01:50] <ablyss> do people still use java
[01:50] <skmsmslk> does it affect to c++ compiler ?
[01:50] <celthunder> skmsmslk: no
[01:50] <celthunder> ablyss: yes
[01:50] <waxstone> ablyss: if they have a mobile phone they do
[01:52] <skmsmslk> what is the best then ?
[01:52] <a5m0> is there a command to instantly sleep all discs?
[01:52] <waxstone> skmsmslk, you can still install sun java but you have to rely of PPA's
[01:54] <ablyss> thx celthunder and waxstone.  I forgot about cellphones
[01:54] <skmsmslk> one thing more i want know about  sql  and how to use in ubuntu ?
[01:56] <ablyss> besides cellphones I hardly ever use java on my pc
[01:56] <ablyss> does libre office use java
[01:57] <celthunder> ablyss: libre uses a ton of crap
[01:57] <ablyss> hahaha
[01:57] <celthunder> check the dependancies for java i guess
[01:58] <ablyss> i would guess no since it comes preloaded with ubuntu
[01:58] <waxstone> skmsmslk, you want to install a sql server like mysql? Or manage a server from your computer?
[01:59] <celthunder> skmsmslk: to use it install mysql-client then mysql -u <user> -p<pass> db
[01:59] <ablyss> the closest I come to using mysql is with mythtv
[02:00] <Poison> #animeka.tm
[02:00] <skmsmslk> no i want write and learn more only ?
[02:00] <celthunder> ablyss: my mail server uses it... and most web servers
[02:00] <celthunder> skmsmslk: what?
[02:01] <Dogears> I am trying to install Java on 10.10 at the moment - I used this http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en but I can't see that in installed correctly?
[02:01] <ablyss> celthunder, i run a simple http server.  I think I would get lots more gray hairs if i ran a mail server too ! :)
[02:01] <skmsmslk> i donot want to use server !
[02:01] <waxstone> skmsmslk, http://w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
[02:01] <celthunder> skmsmslk: then how the hell do you plan on using it
[02:01] <celthunder> ablyss: meh its easy and there are worse things to run.
[02:02] <waxstone> !java | Dogears
[02:02] <ablyss> hehe.. celthunder , if you say so.. cheif ! :)
[02:03] <dog_balls> how can I search for packages located in a certain repository ?
[02:03] <dog_balls> if I have that repo in my sources.list
[02:03] <ablyss> user accounts, filters, spam guards.. black lists.. ugh.. nightmares
[02:03] <celthunder> skmsmslk: i think you need to look up what you want to do your question made no sense waxstone w3school is pretty bad
[02:03]  * dog_balls shows his stuff to the public
[02:04] <waxstone> dog_balls, apt-cache search packagename, I think
[02:04] <dog_balls> waxstone: I'll give that a spin
[02:04] <ablyss> sudo apt-cache search ....
[02:04] <waxstone> celthunder, I didnt want to say google ;)
[02:04] <celthunder> ablyss: lol not the problem the problem is other idiot admins using things like barracuda rather than setting up there own filters
[02:05] <celthunder> waxstone: he needs to google so he can form a question that makes sense
[02:05] <dog_balls> how do I get the latest packages for boost ?
[02:05] <dog_balls> I tried the ppa from jkieran
[02:05] <googlemoomoo> how to run android app in ubuntu ?
[02:05] <Guest76761> How do I close pidgin, when I quit the program it just goes up to the little message icon on the top.
[02:05] <luciano> I need help to use lampp
[02:05] <celthunder> dog_balls: compile it from source using git/svn
[02:05] <celthunder> luciano: what about it
[02:06] <xangua> Guest76761: buddies - quit
[02:06] <savid> In the ubuntu installer, within the livecd, it gives "Install Ubuntu Inside Windows 7" as one of the options.  What does that mean?  What if I want to install ubuntu to a different partition?
[02:06] <dog_balls> celthunder: and if I want packages ?
[02:06] <celthunder> googlemoomoo: intstall the emulator
[02:06] <luciano> Whenever i start the lampp file i get a mysql error
[02:06] <celthunder> dog_balls: then idk lol it probably wont be up to date though
[02:06] <xangua> !dualboot | savid
[02:06] <luciano> Whenever i start the lampp file i get a mysql error
[02:06] <Guest76761> thanks!
[02:06] <dog_balls> celthunder: I can't really be bothered at this hour, late in the night, with 4h left of sleep to undergo such a hard task of compiling something, even hellworld
[02:06] <googlemoomoo> celthunder can the emulator run all app ? and where do get the emulator
[02:07] <xangua> googlemoomoo: get and install the android sdk
[02:07] <dog_balls> celthunder: that's why I'm usin ubuntu..
[02:07] <itaylor57> googlemoomoo, http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
[02:07] <savid> xangua: that page doesn't talk about the option  to "Install inside"
[02:07] <savid> xangua:  I don't understand what "install inside windows" means
[02:08] <googlemoomoo> the emulator can install app and run it ?
[02:08] <xangua> savid: it means with wubi
[02:08] <xangua> !wubi | savid
[02:08] <savid> xangua:  ButI'm not in wubi,  I'm in the livecd.
[02:09] <A-Lusion> hello my lovelies.
[02:09] <savid> xangua what exactly happens when I click "continue" with that option selected?  Will it just tell me to boot into windows and use wubi?
[02:09] <Guest76761> I downloaded the video/voice chat plugin for pidgin, now do I iniate a video chat?
[02:10] <xangua> Guest76761: pidgin supports voice and video with jabber protocol
[02:10] <Guest76761> Ohh, not with msn?
[02:10] <bobweaver> savid,  there are 3 options right install next to what ever this will make a daul boot happen. erase and install. this will wipe all data and and just install ubuntu and then there is other for if y0u have like 3 or more operating systems that you would like to boot
[02:10] <Guest76761> Is there any MSN program that supports video and voice?
[02:11] <xangua> savid: i have never seen an 'install Inside windws' option on the live session installer
[02:11] <savid> bobweaver:  so if I want to install ubuntu to another partion, I shouldn't select "install inside windows 7", right?
[02:11] <savid> xangua: it's definitely there :-P
[02:11] <Aucun> Guest76761: Skype?
[02:11] <bobweaver> install next too ? could you take a screenshot (print screen key ) and upload here
[02:11] <xangua> savid: won't yopu mean 'alongside' as in 'next to' ¿
[02:11] <Matrix> Anyone here ever install Ubuntu 64 on a alienware laptop ?
[02:11] <bobweaver> !screenshot | savid
[02:12] <Guest76761> Aucun, most of my contacts are on msn :(
[02:12] <xangua> !anyone 1 bobweaver
[02:12] <xangua> !anyone | bobweaver
[02:13] <savid> xangua: bobweaver: yeah, I want to install "alongside", but it doesn't give that option.   One sec I'll get a screenshot.
[02:13] <Aucun> Guest76761: I've never used msn to be honest, but I know skype would be the way to go for video and voice.
[02:13] <bobweaver> thanks savid
[02:13] <savid> oh, wait I don't have a print key
[02:13] <savid> old fashion way then
[02:13] <Guest76761> Okay, what's a good skype program?
[02:13] <Matrix> google.
[02:14] <xangua> Guest76761: skype.com
[02:14] <bobweaver> Guest76761,   I use Ekiga softphone for Voip not the best but does the trick
[02:14] <chao> savid,you may partition the hdd manually to install alongside with your current system
[02:14] <Guest76761> Thanks.
[02:15] <savid>

[02:15] <Guest32722> ？
[02:16] <invalid> [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 204 <- Any fix?
[02:16] <A-Lusion> Is it possible to boot from a NAS?
[02:16] <bobweaver> savid,  yes the first option will daul boot
[02:16] <A-Lusion> Within a LAN
[02:17] <Phr3d13> i set up a proxy to be able to update my ubuntu, but i no longer need it, but can't get rid of it, answers from google searches didn't help
[02:17] <savid> bobweaver:  but why does it say "inside" windows, and not "alongside"?
[02:17] <bobweaver> savid,  not sure good question
[02:17] <savid> I guess might as well just do it manually.  Just worried I'm going to mess up the windows install.
[02:18] <bobweaver> savid,  you could suggest or file a bug about that here https://launchpad.net/ubiquity
[02:20] <savid> bobweaver: yeah, unfortunately I'd like to get this installed :-P    I'm just not sure how to install it so that it knows to make grub entries for both OS's
[02:20] <A-Lusion> I'm setting up dual booting on my pc too, I just got a fresh harddrive ready to be conditioned to my bidding.
[02:21] <A-Lusion> What are you reading from? I was thinking of dual booting Windows 7 and Precise
[02:21] <Guest76761> Is there anything special I need to do to get ubuntu on an SSD?
[02:21] <A-Lusion> however my windows 7 boot is not a seperate partition but instead within my c:/
[02:21] <savid> I remember last time I tried this, it asked me if I wanted to install alongside windows.   No it's just asking if I want to install "inside" windows.  Ugh.
[02:22] <bobweaver> savid take your time and  take screenshots and let us know about questions
[02:22] <Phr3d13> savid, are you in windows with the disc in, or did you boot from the disc?
[02:22] <savid> bobweaver:  no, I am not in windows.  I have booted from the livecd.
[02:22] <Guest76761> Is there a better music app than Banshee?
[02:22] <savid> Phr3d13:   no, I booted from the livecd
[02:23] <celthunder> savid: uhm run the normal installer make a paritition for ubuntu leave the windwos one in tackt and it will add ithem for you
[02:23] <celthunder> Guest76761: yes lots mpd is really really nice
[02:23] <savid> celthunder:  So if I just do "something else" option,  it will automatically add the grub entry for me?
[02:23] <celthunder> Guest76761: mpd/mpc work great
[02:23] <celthunder> savid: whats the something else?
[02:23] <savid> celthunder:  http://i.imgur.com/oQRAP.jpg
[02:24] <Guest76761> Do I just search MPD in software center?
[02:24] <savid> celthunder:  this is what I get when I choose "Install Ubuntu" from the livecd
[02:24] <savid> celthunder:  and, I'm booted into the livecd, not into windows
[02:25] <bobweaver> savid,  question do you want to have ubuntu and windows installed ?
[02:25] <bobweaver> or just ubuntu ?
[02:25] <savid> bobweaver:  both
[02:25] <bobweaver> or jsut windows ?
[02:25] <bobweaver> pick the first options
[02:25] <celthunder> savid: uhm choose something else yeah....why does it say inside windows.. thats a dumb option
[02:25] <savid> bobweaver:   but I don't want it installed "inside" windows
[02:25] <bobweaver> savid,  dont worry about that
[02:25] <savid> bobweaver:  I want it installed in another partition that I already have up
[02:25] <celthunder> savid: choose something else
[02:25] <bobweaver> ohh
[02:26] <savid> bobweaver: the wubi docs say that  "inside" windows means literally inside,  not in a different partition
[02:26] <bobweaver> that is a different story all togeather
[02:26] <savid> which is why I'm hesitant to choose that option
[02:26] <celthunder> savid: you are using wubi??? go get the normal installer
[02:26] <savid> I just don't understand why that option is showing in the livecd installer,  and not the "alongside" option.
[02:26] <bobweaver> savid,  you partitioned the hardrive allready  ?
[02:26] <savid> celthunder:  no,  I'm not using wuby
[02:26] <reith2004> savid yea choose something else to create/select the partition
[02:26] <savid> bobweaver: yes,  I already have partitions set up (i set up partitions before I installed windows)
[02:27] <celthunder> savid: ok good then choose something and pick your partitions
[02:27] <bobweaver> read what reith2004 just said
[02:27] <savid> reith2004:  if I choose something else and do it manually,  will it create the grub entry for windows so that I can still boot windows?
[02:27] <celthunder> savid: yes
[02:27] <savid> ok, trying that now.
[02:28] <celthunder> you pick where/what gets added to grub
[02:28] <reith2004> savid yea if you install it right.. it will create grub bootloader
[02:28] <no-name-> I'm trying to setup a dualboot system (Windows 7 (already installed), Xubuntu 11.10), just resized the Windows 7 partition to make room but I'm not sure whether to make the partition for linux a Primary or Logical partition?
[02:29] <celthunder> no-name-: depends on how you want to set it up and how many partitions you have
[02:30] <celthunder> no-name-: you get up to 4 primary if its a mbr gpt may have different limits
[02:30] <no-name-> celthunder: well I just want window's two partitions and xubuntu's 2 (swapspace and main), and I want the grub boot loader
[02:31] <celthunder> no-name-: then you can make all primary
[02:31] <no-name-> ok
[02:31] <no-name-> thanks
[02:32] <Phr3d13> i can't get update manager or apt-get to forget the proxy i used to need
[02:32] <Xajin> join #chef
[02:32] <no-name-> celthunder: do I have to explicitly/manually create a swap partition along with the / partition, or will the installer just do it for me?
[02:33] <celthunder> no-name-: make one.... or i always do... i usually install ubuntu with debootstrap....
[02:33] <no-name-> ok
[02:34] <no-name-> how big should I make it? I have 8 gb of ram
[02:34] <celthunder> depends...
[02:34] <celthunder> are you going to use it
[02:34] <no-name-> dunno
[02:35] <CFHowlett> no-name-   with that much ram, you should use 64 bit ubuntu for speedier performance ...
[02:35] <celthunder> if you are not going to use all 8 gb and not use suspend dont bother with one at all
[02:35] <no-name-> CFHowlett: yeah, it's 64-bit xubuntu
[02:35] <nOStahl> hi guys, is there a way to boot off my usb drive from an ubuntu cd?
[02:36] <celthunder> nOStahl: yes
[02:36] <TroN-0074> 2 GB for swap is enough
[02:36] <nOStahl> how so
[02:36] <hawaii12> come join channel sealion
[02:36] <celthunder> nOStahl: add your usb drive as a grub entry when it comes up
[02:36] <celthunder> hawaii12: no
[02:36] <TroN-0074> and  Linux will boot from a logical or primary partition just fine
[02:36] <hawaii12> "/join #sealion"
[02:37] <nOStahl> ? I have an ubuntu server 32bit cd
[02:37] <celthunder> nOStahl: ok? so

[02:38] <nOStahl> so I'm setting at the first screen that pops up asking for language
[02:38] <TroN-0074> is the flash drive damaged?
[02:38] <celthunder> nOStahl: boot to the cd then tell grub where the usb is.
[02:38] <nOStahl> how do I boot to grub
[02:39] <celthunder> nOStahl: uh it should be the first thing you see when the cd boots
[02:40] <kadri> hello
[02:40] <nOStahl> ? its the screen that says Ubuntu and install ubuntu server / enlist system with ubuntu orchestra server .. etc
[02:40] <kadri> hello
[02:40] <celthunder> kadri: ?

[02:44] <k3y> hi matez?
[02:44] <Phr3d13> darn
[02:44] <TroN-0074> yo wud up!
[02:44] <celthunder> k3y: hi
[02:45] <k3y> nm new to this whole IRC chat ... it's like a foreign world
[02:45] <TroN-0074> what kind of chat did you do before?
[02:45] <k3y> none lol
[02:45] <CFHowlett> k3y   this is the ubuntu support channel.  General chitchat can be had in #ubuntu-offtopic, but if you have a specific support question please ask
[02:45] <k3y> well ok, didn't know that >.>
[02:46] <celthunder> TroN-0074: ytalk
 plz  tell me about module and modprobe ?
[02:47] <TroN-0074> ytalk was irc base too wasnt?
[02:47] <DigitalNinja> So I downloaded and installed skype. When I turn it on it freezes up my computer and then the program crashes.
[02:48] <k3y> how did you install it?
[02:48] <celthunder> TroN-0074: it was before irc... it sucked lol bit like using netcat... sure you can does not make it good
[02:48] <CFHowlett> DigitalNinja   what version of ubuntu
[02:48] <DigitalNinja> 11.10
[02:48] <celthunder> skmsmslk: what card what have you tried etc
[02:48] <DigitalNinja> I downloaded the .deb off their website. Opened it in the software center and installed it from there.
[02:49] <CFHowlett> DigitalNinja   I don't know why skype is acting up, but i'm not surprised.  Linux skype development halted some time ago.  Now that's it
[02:49] <celthunder> TroN-0074: :) i gave it because other than bbs there really werent many things to talk with before irc
[02:49] <CFHowlett> is owned by microsoft, expect zero development or support.
[02:49] <skmsmslk> even i donot know how to get version detail by terminal !
[02:49] <TroN-0074> o.k so I thought freezes only happen in ubuntu if you have a kernel panic which is cause by a missing driver when using a piece of software is that true?
[02:49] <DigitalNinja> Is there any alternative? I need a program that either handles skype or MSN webcam chat.
[02:49] <k3y> <--- looking for the tutorial that I used
[02:49] <celthunder> TroN-0074: no that is far from true
[02:50] <CFHowlett> DigitalNinja   lemme look ...
[02:50] <DigitalNinja> Thanks.
[02:50] <celthunder> DigitalNinja: pidgin
[02:50] <xangua> DigitalNinja: skype handles skype voice/video chat
[02:50] <k3y> http://techie-buzz.com/foss/how-to-install-skype-ubnutu.html
[02:50] <DigitalNinja> xangua, skype crashes.
[02:50] <CFHowlett> DigitalNinja   facebook has skype integration iirc ...
[02:50] <CFHowlett> i.e. you don't have to be running skype to chat
[02:50] <celthunder> er nvm no video in pidgin
[02:50] <k3y> Any good programming IRC rooms?
[02:50] <TroN-0074> doesnt empathy support video interaction?
[02:51] <k3y> pidgin > empathy
[02:51] <k3y> =D
[02:51] <xangua> CFHowlett: DigitalNinja with a plugin only for windows and osx
[02:51] <celthunder> k3y: /list or in general #<language> on freenode (this network)
[02:51] <TroN-0074> but empathy is already installed in ubuntu isnt?
[02:51] <celthunder> empathy is a massive fail
[02:51] <CFHowlett> xangua   grr.   ty
[02:52] <k3y> yeah I was reading the specs of it.. it blows
[02:52] <CFHowlett> DigitalNinja   see amsn
[02:52] <k3y> celthunder <languge> could equal like <c++>
[02:52] <k3y> ?
[02:52] <DigitalNinja> amsn hasn't been update and microsoft changed the protocols for webcams I tried it.
[02:52] <celthunder> k3y: /join #c++
[02:52] <k3y> o wow
[02:52] <CFHowlett> DigitalNinja   grr.
[02:53] <k3y> y i no connect
[02:53] <k3y> !
[02:53] <celthunder> k3y: ?
[02:53] <celthunder> k3y: try ##c++
[02:53] <k3y> ##c++
[02:53] <k3y> oops
[02:53] <celthunder> with the join
[02:53] <DigitalNinja> Ooo Empathy works for it.
[02:54] <wrektjet> so... i have a webcam that suddenly isnt being found by 11.10. any ideas on what i can do besides rebooting?
[02:54] <shaneo> is there anyway to get file sharing to work with uverse via ubuntu or is that a feature only windows users get
[02:54] <k3y> hmm, not able to send
[02:54] <waxstone> k3y: type ---> /join #c++
[02:54] <k3y> do I have to register or something?
[02:54] <waxstone> works for me
[02:54] <celthunder> waxstone: thats what i said
[02:54] <k3y> invite only
[02:54] <xangua> !register | k3y
[02:54] <waxstone> you need to register your nickname
[02:54] <k3y> ah
[02:54] <celthunder> k3y: /msg nickserv help
[02:55] <celthunder> shaneo: what protocal does it use
[02:55] <KI7MT> worked for me too
[02:55] <waxstone> celthunder: has an issue with english
[02:55] <shaneo> celthunder, not sure but att says it needs windows media player streamer so whatever that uses
[02:56] <celthunder> waxstone: what? I speak English quite well...
[02:57] <celthunder> shaneo: you can probably get it to work...
[02:57] <waxstone> celthunder: not you =)
[02:57] <celthunder> yay skm left...hope he finds google
[02:58] <TroN-0074> looks like Empathy did it for DigitalNinja good!
[02:58] <shaneo> celthunder, wmp or just figure it out lol i cant find anything on it anywhere
[02:59] <shaneo> and uverse doesnt recognize anything im sharing
[02:59] <celthunder> shaneo: try mplayer
[02:59] <shaneo> celthunder, ok what about vlc also ?
[02:59] <celthunder> it handles pretty much anything
[03:00] <TroN-0074> are you sharing over your network?
[03:00] <celthunder> shaneo: i dont know i dont like vlc.
[03:00] <TroN-0074> like throught your router?
[03:00] <shaneo> TroN-0074, yeah via uverse
[03:00] <shaneo> uverse has digital media streaming options
[03:01] <TroN-0074> so if you open nautilus and browse the network does your files appear there?
[03:01] <shaneo> yes
[03:01] <shaneo> but uverse box isnt seeing them
[03:01] <TroN-0074> then you can just open them with vlc if that is what you like
[03:03] <shaneo> TroN-0074, im trying to use the uverse feature which has no ubuntu support or any linux at all so im trying to find a way to get it to work
[03:03] <skmsmslk> how to register irc ?
[03:03] <user1233333> can someone suggest some way to checksum filesystem level? I have a large raid that i want to ensure the data is correct. Something like xfs. problem is that xfs doesn't allow growing of raid 6 arrays
[03:04] <shaneo> skmsmslk, /nickserv register <email> <password>
[03:04] <CFHowlett> &#$!!!  Hotmail just reset my inbox - evolution re-delivered 4000 messages for me to sort
[03:04] <shaneo> skmsmslk, /nickserv identify <password>
[03:04] <TroN-0074> is uverse the internet service by AT&T
[03:04] <celthunder> user1233333: fsck?
[03:04] <celthunder> TroN-0074: yes
[03:04] <shaneo> TroN-0074, yes
[03:04] <zirpint> user1233333, zfs maintains chksums
[03:04] <skmsmslk> from where it is done ?
[03:04] <user1233333> zfs doesn't allow easy raid growth like mdadm does
[03:05] <TroN-0074> o.k I have a different service so I dont know how to do that you are trying to do
[03:05] <user1233333> i need/want something below mdadm level so that mdadm can correct
[03:05] <Datz> Hi, I want to add a ppa, with instructions on using: add-apt-repository which is not found.
[03:05] <TroN-0074> ubuntu is not available in ZFS I dont think
[03:06] <TroN-0074> as far as I know is still in ext4
[03:06] <zirpint> zfs, btrfs etc
[03:06] <TroN-0074> btrfs is under develop so it might not work correctly at this time
[03:07] <TroN-0074> I havent hear much about it
[03:07] <TroN-0074> I think opensuse started using it
[03:08] <KI7MT> zfs info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS
[03:09] <scientes> multi seat pls!!
[03:09] <zirpint> anyway there are some bolt-ons you can do at the user level, like fswatch to monitor the disk checksums
[03:12] <user1233333> Ok, so here is the problem. I can't/don't want to use XFS because XFS does not allow for simple growing of RAID 6 arrays(aka pools). This is a very large filestore(4tb atm, growing at about 400 gigs per month). It is write once read multi. I want a way to ensure that the data I'm reading is correct, otherwise have the MDADM repair the block(mark it as bad and then write it else where using parity calculations). BTRFS may have th
[03:12] <user1233333> fsck
[03:12] <user1233333> and does not support raid 6 natively YET
[03:14] <tensorpudding> btrfs is not yet stable and if you use it you have decent risk of data loss.
[03:15] <scientes> btrfs IS stable, but only on a stable machine
[03:15] <scientes> its ability to recover after a hard shutdown is not great, yet
[03:16] <roasted_> Question - If my home directory is 755 permissions (jason:jason) and I want Kristi to back up her data to a folder on my home directory, if I create a folder within my home directory and give it 775 perms (jason:kristi) she'll be able to have full access to that folder, despite the parent home directory being 755 jason:jason, right?
[03:16] <scientes> btrfs gave me confindence to upgrade to 12.04 with an ability to roll back if it didn't go well
[03:16] <shaneo> roasted_, yes
[03:17] <shaneo> roasted_, but shouldnt your home drive have 777 and her 755
[03:17] <scientes> roasted_, as long as she has execute permissions on every directory that is a parent of the target directory
[03:17] <user1233333> I'm not worried about hard shut downs. This is a server that is write once, so it is very unlikely that I will be writing during a hard shutdown. but it doesn't implement raid 6 yet. would mdadm on top have the ability to recover from checksum errors and correct the data?
[03:17] <scientes> i.e. o+x
[03:18] <roasted_> shaneo, no, home permissions default to 755
[03:18] <scientes> user1233333, btrfs has alot of benifits based on being COW
[03:18] <roasted_> shaneo, I didn't want to chnage that. I just wanted to add a folder on it for her to back up to
[03:18] <shaneo> roasted_, oh oops sorry
[03:18] <zirpint> do you have cron.d/mdadm    it runs a consistency check every week
[03:18] <zirpint> md doesn't do parity check on read, because its slow in software, but your adapter may support it. you can turn it on at the hardware level possibly
[03:19] <user1233333> scientes, i really don't care about how i do this, i just need a solution that will meet my needs: checksumming, ability to add drives to raid(like mdadm grow), and the ability to recover errors on reads from parity
[03:20] <zirpint> you need to use a diff fs or use hardware that supports parity check on read
[03:20] <zirpint> md + ext wont do parity check on read
[03:20] <scientes> user1233333, eother XFS or btrfs then
[03:20] <KI7MT> I think he should look at the ZFS option as well.
[03:21] <scientes> no
[03:21] <user1233333> scientes, damn. xfs doesn't support growing raid z2 very well(you have to add a whole new pool), so btrfs will probably be needed. and that scares me that it isn't production yet. I don't want to lose my data/have corruption.
[03:21] <scientes> don't do ZFS
[03:21] <scientes> user1233333, oracle is going to put btrfs into production VERY soon
[03:21] <KI7MT> why
[03:21] <scientes> and almost certainly in fedora 18 as well
[03:21] <scientes> so youll be 6 months ahead
[03:22] <user1233333> scientes, with no fsck and the fact that they tell you not to use it in prod yet, i kinda doubt that. but i have no data to back that up
[03:22] <scientes> user1233333, there is a fsck, it just isn't realeased yet
[03:23] <scientes> and ZFS doesn't have a fsck
[03:23] <Guest68935> I just bought a mini itx box with an atom 2700, tried to run ubuntu from a thumb drive on it, and it works, but I can't change screen resolution from 640x480... any ideas?
[03:23] <zirpint> now if you're using raid3 or raid4, they do parity check on read by default. but raid5 doesn't
[03:23] <abellong> Hello, Now I'm using ubuntu 11.10, and I want to try ubuntu 12.04 beta1. The update-manager doesn't prompt ubuntu is available. My laptop still has some free disk space. I can think of two ways to try 12.04 beta1: 1. Upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 beta1 using a liveusb. 2. Install 12.04 beta1 along with 11.10. Which is better?
[03:24] <zirpint> but raid5 is faster on modern hw
[03:24] <CFHowlett> abellong   keep 11.10.  installl virtualbox.  install 12.04 to virtual box.  12.04 is beta NOT ready for prime time.
[03:24] <user1233333> scientes, exactly. that is why i am wary to use it. it would be great if they had raid 6 implemented as well, because i think that is on the road map. it is just scary using a non prod recommended fs on 4+tb of data
[03:24] <zirpint> if the data is mission critical, use raid4 or a controller that enforces parity checks on read
[03:25] <scientes> WTF is raid4?
[03:25] <scientes> is it raid 1+0?
[03:25] <user1233333> raid 4 is just raid 5 except parity is on one disk
[03:25] <abellong> Thank you CFHowlett, but I want to try to test whether it's support my laptop
[03:25] <user1233333> raid 5 is a huge improvement over 4 and no one uses 4
[03:25] <zirpint> raid4 is multiple data disks and one parity disk
[03:25] <user1233333> and i'm pretty sure raid 4 doesn't enforce parity checks on every read....
[03:26] <abellong> If it hash some issues, I could report bugs. Can it be tested in virtualbox?
[03:27] <Zagaba> Hi. I'm looking for a way to boot directly on a tty.
[03:28] <zirpint> user1233333: thats how raid3/4 works. it reads all the drives simultaneously and checks against the parity bit
[03:28] <zykotick9> !text | Zagaba
[03:28] <zirpint> sequentially rather
[03:28] <zirpint> raid4 = block-level parity, raid3 = byte-level
[03:29] <Zagaba> ubottu: Thanks. I'll see if it work for me.
[03:29] <user1233333> zirpoint: raid 4 is just raid 5 except that the parity is written to one disk, instead of being distributed throughout the disks. it has the same n-1 storage but has bottlenecks on the parity. I don't think that raid 4 has been used for years. at least not in many places. I also think you are mistaken about it reading everything. There is no reason for it to do that
[03:30] <horseatingweeds> I just brought kubuntu out of 'sleep' mode, and it's a black screen with the mouse pointer. What's the hot-key combination to resart kde?
[03:31] <zirpint> user1233333: it has to check the parity because it reads each disk sequentially. that's how it knows if the drive failed or not
[03:31] <abellong> It's not good to discuss more than one topic at the same time, right? This is my first time to use IRC
[03:32] <user1233333> zirpint: doesn't it find out a drive has failed by getting block read failed errors? Like every other raid level?
[03:33] <CFHowlett> abellong   one question at a time ...
[03:37] <horseatingweeds> I've tried ctl+alt+bksp. Kubuntu came out of sleep with a blank screen.
[03:37] <PhantomPhreak53> Is there an easy way to see all packages that were installed by a specific ppa or source?
[03:37] <PhantomPhreak53> I think the ppa I was using had some bad packages and want to remove them
[03:40] <dema> hi
[03:41] <waxstone> PhantomPhreak53, /etc/apt/sources.list.d for PPA's. /etc/apt/sources.list for others
[03:41] <PhantomPhreak53> waxstone: I know what the ppa is but I want to see what packages it installed
[03:41] <waxstone> ahh
[03:42] <PhantomPhreak53> I really don't want to apt-cache policy each one :p
[03:43] <sacarlson> PhantomPhreak53: I have seen a way to remove them all before but not list them but let me at least look at the remove one
[03:44] <PhantomPhreak53> yeah I have messed around with ppa-purge but I would like to know what packages it is going to remove before I remove them
[03:44] <PhantomPhreak53> I know there is a way but either I have drank way too much tonight or just getting old
[03:44] <PhantomPhreak53> maybe a combo of both ;)
[03:45] <sacarlson> PhantomPhreak53: http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/  ppa-purge
[03:45] <PhantomPhreak53> sacarlson: yeah that just removes them
[03:45] <zirpint> user1233333: it depends on the implementation. checking parity is faster in raid3/4 since the parity is on a dedicated disk
[03:46] <zirpint> apart from the block you're reading
[03:46] <PhantomPhreak53> I want to see them first
[03:46] <zirpint> maybe md never checks parity on read
[03:46] <PhantomPhreak53> it may have installed stuff over and I just want to make sure I backup anything that may be affected just in case
[03:47] <waxstone> PhantomPhreak53, found this but not for PPA's http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[03:48] <sholea89> hello
[03:48] <frojnd> jow
[03:49] <researcher123> is it possible to backup my data like music,videos,docs, in compressed mode and stored freely on Internet for later recovery?
[03:50] <CFHowlett> researcher123   technically: sure!  Also, see recent FBI takedowns/seizures
[03:50] <waxstone> !ubuntuone
[03:53] <zirpint> http://www.midwestdatarecovery.com/raid-array-tutorial.html
[03:53] <zirpint> RAID4: "Each entire block is written onto a data disk. Parity for same rank blocks is generated on Writes, recorded on the parity disk and checked on Reads."
[03:54] <sacarlson> PhantomPhreak53: this looks like it also list ppa http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/y-ppa-manager-easily-search-add-remove.html
[03:54] <zirpint> this is inexpensive in raid4 because the parity disk can be read at the same time as the data disk, and less data needs to be retrieved
[03:55] <zirpint> in raid5, parity is distributed across all the disks - its mingled with data, so you'd be delaying data reads with an expensive random access read if you checked parity every time
[03:56] <KI7MT> zirpint, in raid-4 what happens if your parity disk fails?
[03:56] <researcher123> CFHowlett: whats that.guide me please
[03:57] <researcher123> CFHowlett: about backup n seizure by FBI?
[03:57] <zirpint> youre probably screwed KI7MT.. but it might try to recreate the parity bits based on the data on the other 2 drives
[03:57] <CFHowlett> researcher123   shrink your media.  Note that if you back it to ubuntu one, the limit of the free account is 5 gigabytes.
[03:57] <researcher123> CFHowlett: ok. n whats that FBI seizures? any security risk to our data?
[03:58] <CFHowlett> researcher123   right click on your file and send it to ubuntone - you HAVE set up your ubuntu one, right?
[03:58] <researcher123> CFHowlett: yews I have setup ubuntuone
[03:58] <KI7MT> zirpint, yeah, a single point failure on a mission critical data storage solution probably isn't wise.
[03:59] <zirpint> its recoverable because you have redundant stripes
[03:59] <CFHowlett> researcher123   fbi has pretty much stated that if it ends in .com, it's seizable.  Legit users get hurt just like illegal users if  a domain gets seized.  Can't see it happening to ubuntone but ...
[03:59] <zirpint> but the point is it halts when the data is corrupted, unlike raid5 (by default, without sw/hw parity checking on read)
[03:59] <researcher123> CFHowlett: ok
[03:59] <zirpint> so would you rather be notified when your disk returns garbage, or keep chugging along?
[03:59] <CFHowlett> researcher123   be aware that dropbox and most other could backups specifically exempt themselves from damages due to seizure cause by illegal use.
[04:00] <CFHowlett> *cloud*
[04:00] <researcher123> CFHowlett: ok.thats good
[04:00] <zirpint> i cant think of a mission-critical system that can accept corrupt data without any checks
[04:00] <zirpint> parity disk failing is like your server being set on fire.. you need geographically-redunant servers
[04:01] <zirpint> raid5 without parity-checking-on-read is a false sense of security
[04:01] <KI7MT> zirpint, if it were me, I'd be looking at getting a professional consultant to advise :-)
[04:01] <zirpint> im pretty sure most "enterprise" raid hardware has parity checking as an option, if not enabled by default
[04:02] <zirpint> *checking on read
[04:02] <zirpint> its probably slightly more expensive than the consumer versions
[04:03] <coleix1> Anyone has run rygel? is a dlna server and is giving an error that i can't find on google http://paste.ubuntu.com/874016/
[04:04] <zirpint> http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_raid_usage.htm    some good suggestions on the various raid options for use with oracle
[04:04] <zirpint> they suggest RAID10 is the bestesst
[04:05] <KI7MT> They have allot of money though :-)
[04:05] <binger> celthunder: hi it's me from yesterday. I did get ubuntu up and running ok with both wireless and wired connectivity.  The wireless needed a driver. I am on the right track with the static ip for the wired too.  Downloaded 25gb of android rom repo just fine. Started the compile before we went for dinner and when we got back the screen was dark and couldn't get it to wake up.
[04:05] <coleix1> I installed the library for avidemux but didn't work, any ideas?
[04:05] <zirpint> yeah oracle is quite the cash-taker
[04:06] <zirpint> but hey, it may be worth it depending on your needs
[04:06] <binger> celthunder so i shut it down and restarted and now ubuntu won't boot up at all.  There's a message initially that says something like "HDIO get_identity failed /dev/sdc" and then it boots to an initramfs prompt
[04:07] <binger> I suspect that it either ran out of ram or out of disk space during the compile but do not know
[04:08] <biosystemaltered> fix up as this: error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:08] <binger> fortuantely i had mirc already installed on my old xp laptop so here i am.  So I need some advice please?
[04:09] <binger> I don't know anything about the initramfs prompt and what I should do now
[04:09] <biosystemaltered> how to install the libglut??
[04:10] <biosystemaltered> can anyone help me?
[04:11] <binger> I can boot from the livecd but don't know how to get to the previous install.  Can I install again over the other?
[04:11] <D-Chymera>  hi guys, I'm working in a molecular biology lab and I'd like to set up a system of short identifiers which I can write on my samples in order to unambiguously know what is what without cramming all the info on small labels. Do you know of any program that would be able to help me with this? It would be great if I can conveniently create new identifiers online (maybe even from my phone) and if it would have a permission/accounts system
[04:13] <biosystemaltered> does anyone know how to install libglut?
[04:13] <KI7MT> biosystemaltered, a few searches and it appears that's part of an app call: freeglut  do you have that installed? Im not familiar with it.
[04:14] <sacarlson> D-Chymera: does it have to be human readable?  how about barcode?  they have barcode readers for smartphones also to read them in the lab
[04:14] <coleix1> Any idea on a way to fix this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/874016/ on rygel?
[04:15] <zykotick9> !here | coleix1
[04:17] <scientes> coleix1, you have to explain what is going on, not just the error message
[04:17] <sacarlson> D-Chymera: and I would go with 2d barcode that can be any text/number or website that you wish
[04:17] <coleix1> Rygel is a dlna server, I'm trying to stream pushing it from my android to my tv but is giving me an error on rygel's side wich I can't find on google on a way to fix it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/874016/
[04:17] <zirpint>  "Recent large academic studies have identified the surprising frequency of silent read failures that are not identified or resolved in enterprise hard disk arrays despite the typical integrity  functions"
[04:18] <scientes> sacarlson, how many characters can those encode?
[04:18] <scientes> and is it just http://fo.var/etc
[04:18] <scientes> ?
[04:18] <scientes> encoded
[04:18] <sacarlson> scientes: I don't think there is a limit the graphic output just gets biger
[04:18] <scientes> ahh coool
[04:19] <zirpint> "In the case of disk-based archives, all RAID devices should have “parity check on read” enabled. Some RAID controllers support this, but others do not. And some RAID arrays support this feature but it causes significant performance degradation."
[04:20] <bazhang> zirpint, why paste that here
[04:20] <Lirth> When I try to boot from my USB drive for Ubuntu 64 bit 11.10 all I get is a black screen with a blinking underscore.
[04:20] <zirpint> "A recent academic study [1] of 1.5 million HDDs in the NetApp database over a 32 month period
[04:20] <zirpint> found that 8.5% of SATA disks develop silent corruption."
[04:20] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | Lirth
[04:20] <KI7MT> bazhang, there's was a long discussion earlier about file systems and what to use etc etc.
[04:21] <bazhang> zirpint, lets stay on topic of ubuntu support please
[04:21] <coleix1> Or maybe someone knows of another dlna/upnp server that is not PMS, because PMS show a bunch of glitches on the video like artifacts.
[04:21] <Lirth> zykotick9: Thanks.
[04:22] <zirpint> so you could potentially have 15 errors per petabyte of data, if this study is accurate
[04:22] <zykotick9> coleix1: are you aware of mediatomb?  it's what suggested from the !upnp factoid - i've never used it myself...
[04:22] <bazhang> !ot | zirpint
[04:23] <zirpint> its likely other parts of your stack will detect the error - disk hardware fault, checksums at the network level etc
[04:23] <EZF> problem: my ubuntu 10.04 box can somehow get an dhcp assigned ip address from my router yet cannot ping that router or reach anything aside from other pc's on the same subnet. Any ideas what could cause this?
[04:23] <bazhang> zirpint, please stop
[04:23] <Lirth> I just disabled my touchbad and I can't reenable it. I have the hotkey for ctrl-alt-p but it's not working anymore.
[04:23] <coleix1> zykotick9: I don't think it has dlna, at least I haven't found it saying anywhere.
[04:24] <zirpint> i wouldnt worry about it, unless your disk is powering a nuclear plant or something
[04:24] <zykotick9> coleix1: i don't personally know what dlna even is, so i'm no help.  good luck.
[04:25] <coleix1> zykotick9: no idea on how to fix the gstreamer problem either?
[04:25] <binger> I need some help please.  See http://paste.ubuntu.com/874038/  celthunder was helping me yesterday.  Haven't used the paste.ubuntu.com before so hope that worked ok.
[04:25] <zykotick9> coleix1: nope...
[04:26] <zirpint> turning parity check on read is definitely something any critical disk should have. you can do periodic parity checks (resyncs) using linux md for less sensitive data. md actually does this by default every sunday with the std cron file it installs.
[04:27] <KI7MT> EZF, so your getting the dhcp IP address, but not able to ping outside your local LAN?
[04:27] <drklunk> hello
[04:28] <EZF> KI7MT, that's correct. I can ping other pc's on the subnet, yet can't even reach the gateway the ip address was assigned from... it worked fine last night, no updates now it reaches nothing.
[04:28] <drklunk> can someone whose got a few minutes message me? i need some help figuring out my ati drivers
[04:28] <KI7MT> EZF, Well I'd start with your Internet modem, reboot that, then the router, and try it again. Can any box ping outside the LAN or jsut not this particular box?
[04:30] <binger> Please see w it reaches nothing.
[04:30] <binger> [20:28] <drklunk> can someone whose got a few minutes message me? i need some help figuring out my ati drivers
[04:30] <EZF> KI7MT, I've rebooted all the devices involved and everything else can reach the router and past it with no problem. I'll try rebooting again if you think it would help.
[04:30] <binger> oops, not sure what happened there please ignore :)
[04:31] <KI7MT> EZF, well i can't hurt, but doesnt' sound as though thats the problem.
[04:31] <binger> Please don't ignore this though.  I have typed out the issue that I am having at http://paste.ubuntu.com/874038/.  Can someone please take a look at it and advise?
[04:31] <donsd> How do I configure emelfm2 font size. Or suggest better file manager for Ubuntu.
[04:32] <benn> How do you show hidden files in Dolphin?
[04:32] <Lirth> So I looked at the no mode set thing after having my problems. I can't find the screen listed. I run into GNU GRUB and can't set what I'm supposed to.
[04:33] <pangolin> benn: alt + .
[04:33] <EZF> KI7MT, it's very odd, I can connect to the ubuntu box with a tightvnc session from windows or even to the sftp server on it fine, and connect to the windows machine from the ubunto box just fine as well.
[04:33] <skmsmslk> how to install shell-user theme ?
[04:33] <MogDog66> WindPower: oh hai
[04:34] <sacarlson> binger: what kind of a device is /dev/sdc  is it a standard drive or maybe a solid state one?  I guess try fsk the disks from you live boot
[04:34] <lubuntu_> new user here, curious how i install java. thanks
[04:35] <waxstone> !java | lubuntu_
[04:35] <lubuntu_> hey ty :)
[04:36] <MogDog66> Stupid Oracle dropping Ubuntu suppport...
[04:36] <waxstone> np FAQ
[04:36] <KI7MT> EZF, Yeah, sounds like the box is working ccorretly, but its not finding the inet gateway properly.
[04:36] <Lirth> I had my laptop set to run sound for my second monitor and now, once I separated it, I can't get any audio from my laptop speakers.
[04:37] <zykotick9> MogDog66: it's not ubuntu specific, all gnu/linux distros affected.  Just "Stupid Oracle." is all you need ;)
[04:38] <skmsmslk> how to register irc ?

[04:42] <bazhang> oooaaaooo, april
[04:42] <waxstone> April
[04:42] <Lirth> When I try to install or boot from my flash drive I get the black screen. I was told to use nomodeset but I can't figure out how to use it.
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: ask in #ubuntu+1 for pre-release stuff please
[04:42] <oooaaaooo> ubuntu+1?
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: what GPU do you use?
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: yes, this is #ubuntu   #ubuntu+1 for pre-release
[04:43] <waxstone> !precise | oooaaaooo
[04:43] <Lirth> ActionParsnip:EvGA GTX 570

[04:43] <oooaaaooo> cool thnx
[04:43] <oooaaaooo> motd?
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: us:  nouveau.blacklist=1    instead
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> oooaaaooo: message of the day
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: *use
[04:44] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: How do I do that? This is my first time building a computer.
[04:44] <solo7773> I cannot login my msn with empthy on ubuntu
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: hold shift at boot
[04:44] <no-name-> hi. I just installed xubuntu x64 on my machine (twice) and when it booted up it'd show the flashing white - against a black screen for a while and then the screen would say "ATTENTION: OUT OF RANGE"
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> solo7773: does emesene login ok, or amsn?
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: what GPU do you use?
[04:45] <scientes> WOOT no mono in 12.04
[04:45] <scientes> just ubuntu-mono theme
[04:45] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: Nothing happened differently. It just went to the GRUB again.
 did you use your entire email as your id?
[04:45] <scientes> which we should get rid of if user hasn't installed mono
[04:45] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: Nvidia 7025
[04:45] <solo7773> yes <waxstone>
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> !info libmono-2.0-1 precise | scientes
[04:46] <waxstone> solo7773,  I have no issues logging in
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: add the boot option:  nouvea.blacklist=1
[04:47] <solo7773> no problem with your msn?
[04:47] <solo7773> waxstone
[04:47] <waxstone> logging in to account using empthy
[04:47] <solo7773> let me try again
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> scientes: mono is usd by f-spot and tomboy, both are in the repos, so mono is in 12.04
[04:48] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: strangely if I boot into the live usb stick first and then select "boot into first hard disk" from the unetbootin menu it throws me into a busybox shell
[04:48] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: how do I add the boot options? The shift thing does work.
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[04:48] <no-name-> no
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Lirth
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | no-name-
[04:49] <ponrajuganesh> Greetings!!!
[04:49] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I did select the "check disc for defects option" from the unetbootin menu however
[04:49] <ponrajuganesh> wont this command work on solaris?
[04:49] <no-name-> came up with nothing
[04:49] <ponrajuganesh> "find -L /EDITOR/DISTRIBUTOR/AIR/ -type f -newerct '-1 days'"
[04:49] <scientes> ActionParsnip, oh gotcha, still in main
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: thats good, only a good ISO can make a good CD :)
[04:49] <scientes> but not include with package ubuntu-desktop
[04:49] <scientes> which is what i installed
[04:49] <scientes> wait
[04:49] <bazhang> ponrajuganesh, ask in a solaris channel
[04:49] <scientes> this was just from the liveCD
[04:49] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: hehe, true
[04:50] <scientes> but anyways, not by default, horray
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> scientes: why didn't you just download the ubuntu desktop CD and install that.....
[04:50] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: That's one of my problems. I can only access GRUB when I boot. I can't get the welcome screen.
[04:50] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: to what file do I add nouvea.blacklist=1 and what does it do?
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: yes, thats because the nouveau driver is loading and your chip doesn't like it, hence the boot option
[04:50] <scientes> i would have installed the other way, but there is a nasty bug with grub
[04:51] <scientes> if you install a iso9660 to the SD card, and then partition it grub fails to install
[04:51] <__enum__> !ubuntu
[04:51] <scientes> cause it detects the former iso9660
[04:51] <panik> hello. i am having problems on my main machine using current stable build on a 780i motherboard. ethernet ports are not comming on. works fine on windows 7
[04:51] <__enum__> !shell
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: you don't add it to any file, its an option you add at boot. The option is added to only that boot
[04:51] <scientes> you have to zero out the beginning of the block device
[04:51] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: So how do I edit it? With the command line?
[04:51] <bazhang> __enum__, /msg ubottu
[04:51] <scientes> before creating the partition table
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | Lirth
[04:51] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, I don't get a prompt at boot though :(
[04:52] <binger> hi it's me from yesterday. I did get ubuntu up and running ok with both wireless and wired connectivity.  The
[04:52] <binger> wireless needed a driver. I am on the right track with the static ip for the wired too.  Downloaded 25gb of android rom repo
[04:52] <binger> just fine. Started the compile before we went for dinner and when we got back the screen was dark and couldn't get it to wake
[04:52] <binger> up.  so i shut it down and restarted and now ubuntu won't boot up at all.  There's a message initially that says something
[04:52] <binger> like "HDIO get_identity failed /dev/sdc" and then it boots to an initramfs prompt.   I suspect that it either ran out of ram
[04:52] <FloodBot1> binger: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:52] <binger> or out of disk space during the compile but do not know.  fortuantely i had mirc already installed on my old xp laptop so
[04:52] <binger> here i am.  So I need some advice please?   I don't know anything about the initramfs prompt and what I should do now.
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: i believe you hold shift at boot, might be F6.
[04:53] <no-name-> ok
[04:53] <scientes> i initially used mini.iso so i could install in place
[04:53] <__enum__> !bazhang thank you
[04:53] <binger> http://paste.ubuntu.com/874038/
[04:53] <binger> i posted that earlier and haven't had a response yet.
[04:54] <bazhang> binger, giving some context please
[04:54] <number_one_1> hi, i got old laptop "compaq 2.2ghz 4gb ram and 250gb hd, what distro should be used 4 new user?
[04:54] <panik> it seems my ethernet ports are not powering on, on ubuntu. no network light on my router. any ideas?
[04:54] <binger> please see the paste
[04:54] <binger> i am stuck at initramfs
[04:54] <bazhang> binger, you get a busybox prompt?
[04:55] <binger> yes
[04:55] <scientes> binger, you need to set the UUID of your root drive correctly in /etc/fstab
[04:55] <skmsmslk> i am getting register for irc ?
[04:55] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: tried holding shift at boot... said GRUB Loading ... then "ATTENTION: OUT OF RANGE"
[04:55] <binger> how?
[04:55] <sacarlson> binger: I gave you a responce 20 minits ago
[04:55] <scientes> binger, 2nd person these last few das with this problem
[04:55] <bazhang> skmsmslk, in #freenode
[04:55] <scientes> binger, with a live CD
[04:55] <solo7773> what's the MSN server and ports?
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: try F6
[04:55] <scientes> and use sudo blkid to get the UUID of the root device
[04:55] <no-name-> ok
[04:55] <bazhang> skmsmslk, /join #freenode
[04:55] <scientes> binger, ^
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> !register | skmsmslk
[04:56] <binger> listening thank you
[04:56] <solo7773> can anyone tell me the MSN's server and port?
[04:56] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: I have no idea what happened differently. Before I couldn't even access what you were describing in the page. Then I got it to work magically. Any idea what I may have done differently?
[04:56] <donsd> Recommend a file manager for Ubuntu, anyone?
[04:56] <scientes> !nautilus | donsd
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> donsd: nautilus is in the default install
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> donsd: or try pcmanfm
[04:56] <zykotick9> mc or rox ;)
[04:56] <scientes> also, pcfamfm or thunar for lightweight file manager
[04:56] <panik> having a problem with my ethernet ports on ubuntu stable. they are not turning on, no light on router.
[04:57] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: F6 did the same thing only without the "GRUB Loading" (which only came up when I held shift)
[04:57] <solo7773> i think i need the right server and port to get my msn login
[04:57] <scientes> pcmanfm is really light weight
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: sniff around on the web to find the magic button you need. I'm doing the same
[04:57] <no-name-> ok
[04:57] <sacarlson> panik: maybe disabled in bios if internal built in?
[04:58] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I just think that shift is the magic button, but the error occurs anyway
[04:58] <zykotick9> scientes: with pcmanfm's dependencies on fuse, i find it rather heavy -- everything is relative
[04:58] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: Do you know much about the nvidia drivers and which one I would have to download?
[04:59] <panik> i checked that. its working fine in windows. they are set to auto. its auto, or disabled so...
[04:59] <sacarlson> panik: sudo lshw | pastebinit  see what device and if it's seen at all
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: there are drivers in the ubuntu repos. You may need the xorg edgers update ppa as your chip will benefit from the 290 driver but its easily nstalled
[04:59] <panik> both port are seen, i see the mac addresses
[05:00] <panik> but, the router doesnt have a light on for it, and the led next to my computer port isnt on.
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: try ESC
[05:00] <sacarlson> panik: see that mac address how?  with ifconfig?
[05:00] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: I only started Linux in January. Could you simplify that?
[05:00] <panik> yes
[05:00] <panik> i have 2 ethernet ports
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: the driver is in the ubuntu servers ready for you. You don't have to maually download anything
[05:01] <panik> i booted into windows to see which one i was using, and copied it, then checked and it is there, but isnt active or something
[05:01] <zykotick9> Lirth: DON'T download nvidia driver - is probably simplest answer ;)
[05:01] <Lirth> Where do I find it then?
[05:01] <binger> sacarlson missed your earlier msg.  I don't know what dev/sdc is off hand.  There is the internal hard drive and 2 external ones attached to the laptop.
[05:01] <sacarlson> panik: is the power applied to your switch/router?  the two prongs that get ac?
[05:02] <binger> I am going to try scientes idea
[05:02] <bazhang> binger, what does sudo blkid say
[05:02] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: ESC did nothing either. this is where I got the iso, btw. it didn't come with an md5 file - http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/oneiric/release/desktop/
[05:02] <panik> yes. other devices are connected currently and working.
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> !hashes | no-name-
[05:02] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I got amd64 via torrent
[05:02] <panik> its a nvidia board, so i imagine i need some drivers
[05:02] <sacarlson> panik: and this cat5 cable you say between this switch/router has worked in the past?
[05:03] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: it's Xubuntu, btw
[05:03] <panik> yes, 5 mins ago when in windows
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: same hashes link applies
[05:03] <no-name-> ok
[05:03] <celthunder> hi ActionParsnip
[05:03] <binger> bazhang haven't gotten so far as the sudo blkid yet, will post back in a bit
[05:03] <panik> im using a 780i ftw motherboard, if that helps
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> celthunder: howdy
[05:04] <binger> booting with the livecd now
[05:04] <scientes> binger, cause usually if you got the UUID right in the kerel line, but wrong in /etc/fstab, then it dies on the remount the drive rw
[05:05] <scientes> but it got the device right in kernel/grub cause it managed to find the kernel and initrd
[05:05] <celthunder> binger: still having issues?
 booting with the livecd now
[05:05] <binger> there is an initial message of ata_id 732 HDIO_get_identity failed /dev/sdc
[05:05] <danny> would anyone be able to walk me through this theme im not quite sure how to do it i messed it up already http://malys777.deviantart.com/art/malys-BlueGlaSS-0-6-222596805?q=gallery%3Agnome-shell%2F28081982&qo=29
[05:06] <binger> celthunder different ones now  see http://paste.ubuntu.com/874038/ if interested
[05:06] <binger> thanks
[05:06] <sacarlson> panik: you say you see mac address but no ip?  what if you do a $dhclient eth0;  see what responce your cards do
[05:06] <donsd> scientes, ActionParsnip, thanks.  I'll try Nautilus because more users (to help me). I have not heard of pcmanfm, but will look at it also.
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> danny: under the pic there are step by step instructions......
[05:07] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: yeah, it's the wrong checksum. Strange though as I got it directly from xubuntu.com
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> danny: are you kidding?
[05:07] <celthunder> donsd: dont know what your issue was but pcmanfm is a file manager
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: doesn't matter
[05:07] <danny> ActionParsnip: haha idk how to add the ppa
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: the data can get mangled in transit and is WHY MD5 testing exists and is why I always ask
[05:08] <danny> ActionParsnip: the deb http....... all that stuff
[05:08] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: ahh
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> danny: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:08] <danny> ActionParsnip: thanks thats what i was looking for
[05:08] <panik> im not sure how to do that command.
[05:08] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: how do you check whether the data was mangled between *your* hard disk and the usb?
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> danny: ad the line starting with:   deb http     to the file, save the changes and close gedit
[05:09] <panik> i tried it in terminal
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: there is a 'check usb' option on the first boot screen
[05:09] <no-name-> oh, right
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: or similar, but the data you have is damaged so I suggest you redownload it
[05:10] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: so is this likely what the problem is? are you sure the checksums are the same for xubuntu?
[05:10] <panik> says operation not prtmitted
[05:10] <sacarlson> panik: opps  $sudo dhclient eth0 ;  and I assume one of those devices are eth0 so change as needed
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: 5eaf65ba12f74b6c5b912cce2dae1762   is the hash for xubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: ab1e8b5707d888ac08a75e25b67059c6  for xubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[05:11] <binger> see http://paste.ubuntu.com/874069 for the results of the sudo blkid
[05:12] <panik> not getting anything
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: those are from the hashes page I made ubottu give
[05:12] <panik> nothing is comming up.
[05:13] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: that's the checksum I got
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: then why did you say it was the wrong checksum?
[05:13] <sacarlson> panik: but it didn't fail and no lights came on
[05:13] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: I tried it and it worked! I have no idea what I did differently.
[05:13] <binger> i'd sda1 is the root (c drive which is ntfs).  That UUID should go into /etc/fstab????
[05:13] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I was looking here http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/11.10/MD5SUMS
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: what is the key?
[05:14] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: What is a key?
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: I gave you the link.....
[05:14] <mi3> Hello!
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: to add the boot option>
[05:14] <sacarlson> panik: I also have to assume that you did that to the ethX that you have pluged in?
[05:14] <ponrajuganesh> whether could we find the number of newly created files in a directory when given a specific time?
[05:14] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I guess I didn't see it. Sorry :( I only saw the one with the regular Ubuntus
[05:15] <binger> celthunder or scientes see http://paste.ubuntu.com/874069 for result of the sudo blkid
[05:15] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: I have no idea. I've been running into so many irregular problems. I had something with caching for the first day but that vanished quickly. Today I had the driver thing. I just booted regularly and it worked somehow.
[05:15] <mi3> can I register my nick on this channel?
[05:15] <sacarlson> panik: we should look at the device and see if others have had problems with it as I asked above before for hardware info with sudo lshw | pastebinit
[05:15] <zykotick9> !register | mi3
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> !register | mi3
[05:15] <primenumber> Hey gang - is 12.04 worth an upgrade now?
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: anything you can pass on to no-name-
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> primenumber: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[05:16] <primenumber> ok thanks
[05:16] <celthunder> primenumber: sure
[05:16] <danny> ActionParsnip: now it cant find either of the packages
[05:16] <A-Lusion> I been meaning to ask...is there a repository for custom startup animations or themes
[05:16] <panik> yea no lights.
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> danny: I'd contact the author of the guide
[05:16] <panik> its weird. ive been searching the forums with no luck
[05:17] <sacarlson> panik: ya and no hardware info
[05:17] <linocisco> my squid ubuntu server with two NIC doesnt work. one is for wan IP and one is LAN
[05:17] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: I have no idea what I did.
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: was afraid you'd say that
[05:17] <sacarlson> panik: or did I just miss it with all the trafic I can't tell who you are responding too
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> linocisco: can you expand on 'doesn't work'. It's near meaningless
[05:18] <hawke_> Hello all…is there a way to type in a username at the login prompt in Precise?
[05:18] <Lirth> I just ran into an error when installing Ubuntu 11.10. It says "it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location". What does that mean and what should I do?
[05:18] <panik> could i just msg you the info? i cant really copy/paste it, as this is a different pc
[05:18] <celthunder> hawke_: what
[05:18] <zykotick9> hawke_: reask in #ubuntu+1
[05:18] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: Yeah. I didn't do anything differently. It just worked.
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> hawke_: ask in #ubuntu+1 for precise. The channel message does say
[05:18] <mi3> thanks ActionParsnip
[05:18] <hawke_> My bad
[05:18] <mi3> and thanks zykotick9 as well
[05:18] <celthunder> Lirth: that means install the bootloader in a valid location
[05:18] <linocisco> ActionParsnip, yes. I configured bind9 and squid as documenation said. but I can't get internet through proxy on my client
[05:19] <Lirth> celthunder: I am. I'm using my 1TB hard drive.
[05:19] <binger> What is the syntax for the fstab file?  Do I need to enter the uuid of the root drive?
[05:19] <celthunder> binger: you dont have to but you can
[05:19] <linocisco> ActionParsnip, my server and clients are also on Vbox as guest
[05:20] <panik> do you think i need the nforce drivers for linux?
[05:20] <binger> scientes suggested i do it since it won't boot into ubuntu.  what is the format of the line?
[05:20] <sacarlson> panik: we just need the line pertaining to the ethX device  maybe with just sudo lspci ;  if you can pick out that line
[05:20] <Lirth> celthunder: What might be causing it to do that?
[05:20] <binger> add "UUID= blah blah blah"?
[05:20] <celthunder> Lirth: what did you pick as the location
[05:20] <sacarlson> panik: nforce should work plug and play without any added drivers
[05:20] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: what do you think is wrong? :(
[05:21] <celthunder> binger: location where you want it modes order and something else
[05:21] <Lirth> celthunder: "/dev/sbd     ATA WDC... (1.0 TB)"
[05:21] <sacarlson> panik: oh maybe a irc conflic problem?  did this start happening when you added a secound ethX card?
[05:21] <celthunder> binger: the last two catn usually be 0 or 0 1
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: not sure, Lirth said s/he just booted and it worked randomly. There is a key to press and you will get the old school boot screen
[05:21] <Lirth> celthunder: Should I use "/dev/sdb1"?
[05:21] <binger> hmmm..
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: F6,shift and space are ones I can think of.
[05:22] <celthunder> Lirth: uhm what exactly did it fail with again
[05:22] <panik> no, my mb has 2 built in nic
[05:22] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: no-name-: I think I hit escape but I'm not sure. I know once I got to that screen f6 had the option I needed.
[05:22] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: when I held shift and only when I held shift it said "GRUB Loading", but then it would just go to "ATTENTION: OUT OF RANGE" after that as usual
[05:23] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: and esc and f6 did nothing
[05:23] <Lirth> celthunder: "...it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location."
[05:23] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: it boots into the live usb ok though
[05:23] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: just not into an installed xubuntu on the hdd
[05:23] <celthunder> Lirth: uhm check console what was the real error.... it should say more than that
[05:23] <mi3> i tried registering my nick but i have not received the email ActionParsnip
[05:23] <celthunder> mi3: #freenode or #help
[05:23] <Lirth> celthunder: How do I do that?
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: ahhh then hold shift at boot and you can add the boot option there. Its the default behaviour in Grub2
[05:24] <mi3> celthunder: ok
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> mi3: ask in #freenode if you get issues
[05:24] <celthunder> Lirth: check console 1 or 6 usually those are the ones installers use
[05:24] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: but it still goes into the "ATTENTION OUT OF RANGE" thing
[05:24] <waxstone> no-name: try pressing shift multiple times not holding
[05:25] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: do you mean I can just type it in and press enter while it's saying "ATTENTION: OUT OF RANGE" and it will boot?
[05:25] <Lirth> celthunder: I should point this out. I started using Ubuntu this January. I have no idea what you're talking about.
[05:25] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I can still get into the file system via the live usb if that's what you're wanting
[05:25] <celthunder> Lirth: where are you installing grub from
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: you may need to use a liveCD and edit a file to make the module not load. You could even chroot and install updates which may help too
[05:26] <Lirth> celthunder: My usb?
[05:26] <clokcs> Can anyone help me with wubi?
[05:26] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: eh, maybe I should just install again with the "install updates while installing" option?
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: yes, use the file manager to mount the ubuntu partition, then run:  gksudo nautilus     you can now enter the partition and edit the files
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: possibly
[05:26] <celthunder> clokcs: no not if you dont give a problem
[05:26] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: what do you want me to change?
[05:27] <celthunder> Lirth: ctrl alt f6
[05:27] <celthunder> Lirth: do you see a terminal with any additional info
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: the file will be /media/somename/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[05:27] <clokcs> Well, I am needing to use wubi for another distro, on the information page about wubi on ubuntu it states that you can use it for another distro (my modified version of ubuntu) but I cant find the source code of wubi
[05:27] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: BRB
[05:27] <clokcs> or a simple way of having it just use my distro
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: the 'somename' will be a long hexadecimal name
[05:27] <Lirth> celthunder: It welcomes me and tells me how to use sudo commands.
[05:27] <no-name-> yep
[05:28] <celthunder> Lirth: ok try to install grub from there
[05:28] <Lirth> celthunder: How do I do that?
[05:28] <celthunder> Lirth: i think ubuntu uses grub2 no idea i still use legacy
[05:28] <clokcs> So anyone?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: add the line:    blacklist nouveau      save the new file and close gedit, then reboot. May help
[05:29] <celthunder> clokcs: what?
[05:29] <Lirth> so should I use "sudo apt-get install grub"? It's what it recommended when I typed grub.
[05:29] <clokcs> celthunder: I need to use wubi to install my modified version of ubuntu
[05:29] <celthunder> clokcs: you want to install a distro... ok...
[05:29] <celthunder> clokcs: so....whats the issue
[05:29] <clokcs> celthunder: I cant figure out how to get it to do that
[05:29] <celthunder> Lirth: sure
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: you can always use this from the live usb too: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/    it will use a chroot and you can load updates as well as add the boot option
[05:30] <Lirth> celthunder: "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error (1)"
[05:31] <Lirth> celthunder: Also, how do I get out of the ctrl-alt-f6?
[05:31] <celthunder> Lirth: did it say its already in use? ctrl alt f7
[05:31] <Lirth> celthunder: nope
[05:32] <clokcs> celthunder: I cant figure out how to get wubi to install another ubuntu
[05:33] <Lirth> celthunder: I'm just going to guess and use the "/dev/sdb1". As I understand it, that's a partition on my hard drive.
[05:33] <celthunder> Lirth: it is
[05:33] <celthunder> its on disk 2 partition 1 then
[05:34] <Lirth> celthunder: "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sdb1' failed". This is a fatal error.
[05:34] <celthunder> Lirth: lol... is your mbr set up right
[05:34] <Lirth> celthunder: mbr?
[05:35] <syddraf> I just got my new Dell laptop and installed Xubuntu on it. When I install nvidia-current as my driver and run nvidia-xconfig, then restart X, X will not restart. I have to rm my xorg.conf file in order to get it to start back up again. Can anyone help me with this?
[05:35] <DJ> Lirth, how did you install ubuntu and which release are you having issues with?
[05:35] <Valrin> I am in need of serious help with Ubuntu
[05:35] <Lirth> DJ: I did the "Try Ubuntu" from my usb and then clicked the installer. I'm using 11.10 64 bit.
[05:36] <DJ> ok
[05:36] <DJ> do you have any others os, install on the Hard drive?
[05:36] <celthunder> Valrin: ?
[05:36] <Valrin> Well, I cannot edit my packages. And I am getting a weird error
[05:36] <Lirth> DJ: This is my brand new, home built computer. It's completely empty.
[05:36] <DJ> okey,
[05:36] <DJ> how many hard drives do you have one?
[05:36] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I altered blacklist.conf like you said and it made no change
[05:37] <DJ> !tell Lirth about paste
[05:37] <DJ> Lirth, paste me this command df -h
[05:37] <Lirth> DJ: 2. I have the HDD for Linux which I'm setting up now and the SSD for Windows (yay games).
[05:38] <DJ> Okay
[05:38] <Lirth> DJ: Where do I do the command?
[05:38] <DJ> in your tt1 or tt2 terminal
[05:38] <DJ> or do you have the X running at all?
[05:38] <Lirth> DJ: X?
[05:38] <Valrin> This is the error I receive
[05:39] <DJ> Yeah Graphical User Interface
[05:39] <Valrin> E:Type 'n' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-lucid.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.
[05:39] <clokcs> Is there anyone that can help me with wubi, I am trying to make it install a personalized version of ubuntu from my desktop.
[05:39] <Valrin> And I cannot remove the n
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: try thechroot
[05:39] <binger> this is what i entered in the last line of fstab:  /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 0   does that sound right? I rebooted after making that edit and ended up at the same initramfs prompt :(
[05:39] <Lirth> DJ: what do you mean by that?
[05:39] <celthunder> Lirth: x11 x windows framework on which a gui can be used....
[05:39] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: watching the vid =)
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  head /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:39] <DJ> Lirth, I'm asking what do you see right now in front of you're Monitor?
[05:40] <Lirth> DJ: The test version of Ubuntu.
[05:40] <celthunder> Valrin: pastebin your sources.list or at least the first line
[05:40] <Lirth> DJ: My problem is setting up my boot loader. I have the rest finished.
[05:40] <Valrin> Says no file or directory.... =\
[05:40] <DJ> type df -h to see you're hard drive structure
[05:40] <Valrin> But I do have that file, cause i've been looking through it
[05:41] <Lirth> DJ: Ok. How to I copy and paset it?
[05:41] <celthunder> Valrin: /etc/apt/sources.lst ....
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: sorry:    cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-lucid.list    what is output? use a pastebin
[05:41] <binger> celthunder  this is what i entered in the last line of fstab:  /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 0   does that sound right? I rebooted after making that edit and ended up at the same initramfs prompt :(
[05:41] <DJ> Lirth, paste it in #flood
[05:41] <Lirth> DJ: How do I copy it?
[05:42] <DJ> lol
[05:42] <celthunder> binger: ok yeah that looks right if its ext4.
[05:42] <Lirth> DJ: You keep overestimating my intelligence.
[05:42] <celthunder> DJ: i think he is trying to troll us
[05:42] <DJ> I'm not at all Lirth
[05:42] <scientes> How do i use 3G?
[05:42] <Lirth> celthunder: I have no idea how to copy it from the black and white text screen.
[05:42] <scientes> ive got a del 5520
[05:43] <scientes> it shows up in network manager but when i click On/off it stays off
[05:43] <scientes> does it need a sim card slot?
[05:43] <celthunder> binger: hmm when did this start and at what point does it drp you to initramfs ..like what did it fail to load
[05:43] <scientes> with a sim card in in another port on the computer
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: when it gets to the update-grub, run:   sudo nano /etc/default/grub    and change:   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"     to:   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.blacklist=1"     press CTRL+X, Press Y, Press ENTER then run:  sudo update-grub; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:43] <Lirth> DJ: Is there a place where it dumps or something?
[05:43] <DJ> tell me the line where it says /dev/sda
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> scientes: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; lsusb
[05:44] <binger> celthunder  see http://paste.ubuntu.com/874038/ for all the gory details
[05:44] <DJ> is there any number in front of the /dev/ Lirth ?
[05:44] <scientes> ActionParsnip, Bus 005 Device 002: ID 413c:8136 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 5520 Cingular Mobile Broadband (3G HSDPA) Minicard Diagnostics Port
[05:44] <scientes> with up-to-date precise
[05:44] <scientes> amd64
[05:44] <celthunder> binger: ok give me a moment
[05:44] <Lirth> DJ: nope
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> scientes: precise is offtopic here, ask in #ubuntu+
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> #ubuntu+1
[05:44] <Lirth> DJ: I don't even have that item in the list
[05:45] <DJ> Lirth, just paste me the /dev/ line
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> scientes: the channel welcome message clearly says it....
[05:45] <DJ> example /dev/sda4        91G  4.5G   82G   6% /
[05:45] <Lirth> DJ: All of them? There are 3
[05:45] <DJ> that's my root partition
[05:45] <Lirth> DJ: I have no /sda pieces.
[05:45] <DJ> just one line
[05:46] <celthunder> binger: ok got you so sdc fails. what is sdc inyour system do you have any usb devices plugged in at the moment
[05:46] <scientes> but its beta
[05:46] <Lirth> DJ: I do have a /cow 1008M 230M 782M 24% /
[05:46] <scientes> and when you develop new stuff you want to be a little ahead, esp when its a LTS
[05:46] <binger> celthunder: yes there are 2 usb externals attached now
[05:46] <Lirth> DJ: It's the only one with real similarities to yours.
[05:46] <DJ> Lirth, you name you're partitions and you don't even know them?
[05:46] <celthunder> binger: disconnect them and type exit
[05:47] <DJ> then /cow is your /root dir
[05:47] <Lirth> DJ: I didn't do anything. I just let the automated installer run.
[05:47] <SinnerNyx> in apache2/mods-available, I have various proxy mods. There is one called proxy_ftp. Are these all part of the official mod_proxy as documented here (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html ) but split up into sections?
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> scientes: yes, it's not released. It is only supported here when it is released, not beta
[05:47] <binger> celthunder from initramfs?
[05:47] <celthunder> binger: yes=
[05:47] <SinnerNyx> or are they all different?
[05:47] <binger> ok hang on
[05:47] <Valrin> celthunder, ActionParsnip it says no file or directory exists
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> scientes: the release is not ready and not released and is supported in #ubuntu+1 until it is released
[05:48] <DJ> lol Lirth
[05:48] <DJ> i see
[05:48] <DJ> ;)
[05:48] <DJ> now the other 2
[05:48] <Lirth> DJ: I'm not smart enough to mess with it.
[05:48] <celthunder> Valrin: tree /etc/apt...what  IS there
[05:48] <DJ> you should that's how you learn Lirth
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: it must, it's in yourerror
[05:48] <kingspider> i has a HD 7950
[05:49] <scientes> ActionParsnip, well, i have found very little 3g documentation online, do you know of any good stuff?
[05:49] <Lirth> DJ: Not when it's my hard drive. I locked myself out by marking the wrong one active on my lap top a while ago. It took a week to fix.
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: ok run:   nautilus /etc/apt/sources.list.d      open the wine file and pastebin the text please
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> scientes: I don't use it outside my phone
[05:49] <csprite> anyone make customized ubuntu iso's?
[05:49] <CFHowlett> csprite   sure.
[05:49] <DJ> Lirth, okay let's proceed with the other two lines
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> csprite: http://maketecheasier.com/build-your-own-ubuntu-based-distro-with-novo-builder/2010/07/02
[05:49] <csprite> what tools you use to do that CF
[05:50] <CFHowlett> csprite   remastersys is probably the best known one...
[05:50] <csprite> thanks Action ill check that
[05:50] <celthunder> csprite: debootstrap
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> csprite: all I did was websearch.....
[05:50] <sleepybug> am I able to install ubuntu while sitting at the desktop of my current linux distro? I would like to install it without rebooting or running it on a live cd. Kind of like what you are able to do with a windows upgrade disk
[05:51] <celthunder> binger: any luck
[05:51] <scientes> yeah this is my first time with mobilebroadband
[05:51] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   what is your current distro?
[05:51] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: this video is on how to reinstall grub2. why do I want to do that?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> scientes: ask in #ubuntu+1 and they will help you
[05:51] <celthunder> sleepybug: yes you can.
[05:51] <DJ> better Lirth open up nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: read what I said above......
[05:51] <Valrin> ActionParsnip, says cannot find /ect/apt/sources.list.d
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: the chroot steps get to a point where the commands you run affect the installed OS....
[05:51] <sleepybug> celthunder: how? CFHowlett: an older ubuntu distro..I dont want to upgrade
[05:52] <Lirth> DJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/874097/
[05:52] <celthunder> sleepybug: its possible as long as you use common sense when doing it.
[05:52] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: ahh, k
[05:52] <Lirth> DJ: and huh?
[05:52] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: you want me to install updates?
[05:52] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   again what is your current distro.
[05:52] <binger> celthunder so i hit exit at the initramfs prompt and it gives half page that starts with kernel panic-not syncing attempted to kill init
[05:52] <cloudgeek> how to open .dwg or autocad file in ubuntu
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: nautilus /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[05:52] <DJ> open up that config file, Lirth
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: sure, why not
[05:52] <celthunder> binger: reboot with the drives unplugged
[05:52] <drounse> is there any plans for itunes to eventually be ported to linux
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> drounse: ask apple
[05:52] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: anything else I should do while I'm in?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> drounse: I bet they laugh at you, hard
[05:53] <celthunder> drounse: doubt it
[05:53] <sleepybug> CFHowlett: Ubuntu 8.04.1
[05:53] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   you can direct upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 when it becomes available.
[05:53] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   nope.  end of life.
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: ready the long text I gave yo earlier.
[05:53] <binger> celthunder: alrighty
[05:53] <Lirth> DJ: I don't see the menu piee.
[05:53] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   WAIT!
[05:53] <drounse> ActionParsnip i know they probably will, but if you think about it it can only benefit apple, and in the end make them more money
[05:53] <sleepybug> ?
[05:53] <Lirth> DJ: piece*. Only "grubenv"
[05:53] <crash1hd> I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how I create a link on the desktop to a python application? please :)
[05:53] <celthunder> sleepybug: how far in the install of a new distro did you get
[05:53] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: ahh, sorry, missed that (was away)
[05:53] <cloudgeek> how to open ! a autocad file or dwg file in ubuntu
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> drounse: exactly. I suggest you contact them. If they get enough interest it may happen
[05:53] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   sorry, got ahead of myself.  I THINK you can upgrade to 10.04 as it's an LTS release.
[05:54] <Valrin> ActionParsnip, i did that and thats the error I get
[05:54] <KI7MT>    cloudgeek I think there's an app called LX Viewer if I recall, I was just looking, its not a UB app but should work.
[05:54] <DJ> Lirth, did you install grub?
[05:54] <sleepybug> celthunder: I havent attempted any installation. I am wanting to pop in an disk with the iso on it, and install while booted in the OS
[05:54] <Lirth> DJ: I thought I did.
[05:54] <drounse> ActionParsnip do they have a channel? like a fan channel that will have an idea?
[05:54] <CFHowlett> *anyone confirm or prove me misinformed?* 8.04 to 10.04 is still possible?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: can you see what is meant to happen though? can you make it occur without me being 100% accurate?
[05:54] <DJ> you though wrong Lirth
[05:54] <celthunder> CFHowlett: sleepybug you can read lfs docs for a basic what you want to do and use ksplice for the kernel.
[05:54] <binger> celthunder: at grub menu i selected ubuntu and the cursor in upper left blinked for a while then went to busybox screen and initramfs prompt
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> drounse: probably #apple   I'd try and email them too
[05:54] <DJ> Lirth, sudo apt-get install grub
[05:54] <Lirth> DJ: it ran into some errors.
[05:55] <celthunder> binger: awe... new error at least?
[05:55] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   all that said, you're safer doing a clean install...
[05:55] <KI7MT> cloudgeek, also check out an app called: Bricscad
[05:55] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: will sudo apt-get upgrade take me to xubuntu 12.04 ???
[05:55] <DJ> yeah that you could not boot any os, because you did not install grub I'm I Right?
[05:55] <Valrin> ActionParsnip, I dunno man, I've tried so many different things to try and get this damn thing to work and nothing seems to be getting the job done.
[05:55] <binger> celthunder fun ain't it?  maybe i should reedit that fstab to get rid of the line i put in?
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: no, it will upgrade yourinstall to te latest packages for your release
[05:55] <CFHowlett> no-name-   no as it's not released yet.
[05:55] <no-name-> ok
[05:55] <sleepybug> CFHowlett: What if a clean install isn't an option? I am wanting to remove everything from my current installation and install a new one, but I can't reboot it to boot into a live disk
[05:56] <sleepybug> CFHowlett: is there no way to burn the iso to a disk and install it from there?
[05:56] <cloudgeek> KI7MT: can provide me a link
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: you just need to open the file you named in your error in a text file.
[05:56] <Valrin> I did man but it won't lemme delete it
[05:56] <sleepybug> CFHowlett: so i guess yes, i want a clean install. but I cant reboot it
[05:56] <Lirth> DJ: 'sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error (1)'
[05:56] <celthunder> CFHowlett: did i miss something hed need to do? i know you can do what i said if you are careful and keey your fs structure soperate...
[05:56] <DJ> Lirth, sudo apt-get -f install
[05:56] <CFHowlett> sleepybug  I gotta ask...why can't you reboot?
[05:56] <cloudgeek> KI7MT: I have autocad file i just want to open it that's only
[05:56] <KI7MT> cloudgeek, http://www.bricsys.com/en_INTL/bricscad/index.jsp
[05:56] <vadi2> My metacity broke weirdly and I can't click on anything. What can I do?
[05:56] <Lirth> DJ: already did that
[05:57] <CFHowlett> celthunder   I think we crossed threads somewhere?
[05:57] <sleepybug> CFHowlett: does it matter?
[05:57] <vadi2> I can't click on a window in the background to give it focus
[05:57] <DJ> which dependencies broke your system?
[05:57] <DJ> Lirth,
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> vadi2: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[05:57] <CFHowlett> sleepybug   so you can't boot from cd/usb?
[05:57] <celthunder> CFHowlett: he basically would be using current system as a host build env then at the end ksplce the kernel and rm the old fs stuff
[05:58] <Lirth> DJ: something about /usr/bin/dpkg
[05:58] <sleepybug> CFHowlett: correct celthunder: correct
[05:58] <Dogears> waxstone: Thanks for you help earlier
[05:58] <vadi2> I can't press enter after typing it in
[05:58] <CFHowlett> celthunder   thanks.  that is doable but I've not done it ...
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: run gedit and you can open the file there.
[05:58] <sleepybug> celthunder: is there a tutorial
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> vadi2: click ok then (if a button exists)
[05:58] <DJ> what error do you get when you use the command apt-get -f install Lirth ?
[05:58] <Valrin> ActionParsnip, I used gedit, and it won't let me do anything.
[05:58] <vadi2> Alright, it replaced, but the behavior is still the same
[05:59] <vadi2> I can't click on tabs in pidgin to make it switch either
[05:59] <vadi2> Just - nothing happens.
[05:59] <Lirth> DJ: could not open lock file and unable to lock admin directory
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> Valrin: click file -> open .  click file system on the left. open etc, open apt, open sources.list.d
[05:59] <sleepybug> celthunder: is there any kind of tutorial for this process?
[05:59] <celthunder> sleepybug: yes. linuxfromscratch.com or whatever and use the basic directions to buil what you want or the distro you want...use a different fs structure though so you can rm the old build env later
[05:59] <DJ> which file is lock Lirth ? be specific
[05:59] <waxstone> Dogears:No problem
[06:00] <sleepybug> celthunder thanks
[06:00] <KI7MT> cloudgeek, This is a free solution for DWG files: http://lx-viewer.sourceforge.net/
[06:00] <Lirth> DJ: /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: is software centre or synaptic open, or are you installing updates or new apps?
[06:00] <celthunder> CFHowlett: ive only done that once as well and i only did it to learn.  took a while it did work though
[06:00] <DJ> Lirth, type sudo ps x|grep dpkg
[06:00] <binger> celthunder so am booting from the livecd and going to revert my fstab edit. do sudo blkid too to see what it shows now. I sure am learning a lot about linux/ubuntu in the process though.
[06:01] <vadi2> Now I dragged something by accident and the drag icon won't go away.
[06:01] <CFHowlett> celthunder   looks interesting - hope I never have to.  I'm glad YOU had the info, though.
[06:01] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: the bootloader installer thingy is open from earlier when it ran into an error
[06:01] <drounse> whats your favorite music player?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | Lirth if not then use this
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> drounse: deadbeef and spotify
[06:01] <DJ> even better thank you ActionParsnip
[06:02] <vadi2> Oops, left mouse button was depressed permanently
[06:02] <celthunder> CFHowlett: lol bet you he comes back in here whining he had to type stuff compile a bunch and failed to follow the directions
[06:02] <celthunder> binger: thats a good thing i guess can you pastebin you fstab while you edit it
[06:02] <drounse> ActionParsnip hows deadbeef? ive never used it?
[06:02] <CFHowlett> celthunder   hey IS it possible to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04?  as 8.04 is EOL?
[06:02] <Lirth> actionparsnip: in one line?
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> drounse: its sweet, light too
[06:02] <DJ> yeah sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: yes, all one command
[06:03] <celthunder> CFHowlett: no idea i dont use ubuntu except on one server.
[06:03] <DJ> sorry sudo dpkg-configure -a Lirth
[06:03] <CFHowlett> celthunder  ok.  thanks for the info.
[06:03] <drounse> ActionParsnip ive been using banshee which i really like
[06:03] <celthunder> CFHowlett: he didnt ask how to get to the latest ubuntu he asked how to install another distro without rebooting....so yes its possible same concept would apply
[06:04] <skmsmslk> how to know my tv tuner version ?
[06:04] <celthunder> CFHowlett: though probably would be easier
[06:04] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: "Bad address"
[06:04] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: what did you mean by when it gets to update-grub? she didn't use that command in the video. do I just edit /etc/default/grub after I run grub-install?
[06:04] <Lirth> DJ: "dpkg-configure: command not found"
[06:04] <celthunder> skmsmslk: same as it was 6 hours ago lspci or lsusb
[06:04] <CFHowlett> celthunder   linux users are NEVER satisfied ...
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: when the video says to install grub etc, you are then running the commands in the installed OS.
[06:05] <celthunder> CFHowlett: I am. though i do tweak around a lot
[06:05] <DJ> Lirth, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[06:05] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: I understand that much
[06:05] <skmsmslk>  lspci i was disconnected
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: so you can edit /etc/default/grub   as I said
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> Lirth: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a     is the command....
[06:06] <Lirth> DJ: Locked by another process
[06:06] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: but should I run grub-install or update-grub beforehand?
[06:06] <DJ> Lirth, type this sudo ps x|grep dpkg
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: grub is already installed, you just need to edit the file then run:  sudo update-grub   to apply
[06:06] <skmsmslk> celthunder how to install the tv tunar driver ?
[06:06] <Lirth> DJ: nothing
[06:07] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: ahh, now I understand
[06:07] <Lirth> ActionParsnip: Errors in man-db
[06:07] <binger> celthunder this is the latest sudo blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/874106/  there was nothing to revert in the /etc/fstab since I edited in the trial ubuntu.  DOH!
[06:08] <celthunder> skmsmslk: ok seriously either use google or give more than NO INFORMATION btw half the questions you asked earlier would have been answered had you spent 5 seconds looking yourself.
[06:08] <sammmy> where is firefox usually installed on ubuntu?
[06:08] <DJ> Lirth, sudo updatedb
[06:08] <celthunder> sammmy: /usr/bin or /usr/sbin my guess
[06:08] <Lirth> Nothing showed up
[06:08] <novasonic666> hi
[06:08] <Lirth> DJ: Nothing showed up
[06:09] <binger> celthunder is there something i should be entering at the initramfs prompt?
[06:09] <celthunder> binger: lol make a chroot from the live install
[06:09] <Fyodorovna> sammmy, in home ctrl-h to show all files
[06:09] <DJ> Lirth, type nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:09] <skmsmslk> Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) plz tell me bro ?
[06:09] <Lirth> DJ: and then what?
[06:10] <DJ> Lirth, does it say cdrom? at the top?
[06:10] <Lirth> DJ: cdrom:[Ubuntu....
[06:10] <DJ> does it show a #
[06:11] <DJ> in front of the cdrom?
[06:11] <Lirth> DJ: it says "deb"
[06:11] <sammmy> Fyodorovna: So, all the programs are just hidden in the home directory? :\
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> DJ: the issue is with some wine ppa list file in sources.list.d
[06:11] <DJ> is it a bug?
[06:12] <celthunder> sammmy: no
[06:12] <celthunder> sammmy: your users configs for them are there though
[06:13] <sammmy> celthunder: Oh. But I was wondering where the actual firefox application is.
[06:13] <DJ> Lirth, go into the dir /var/lib/dpkg/
[06:13] <DJ> and rm the locked file
[06:13] <DJ> and type apt-get update
[06:13] <DJ> to trick dpkg
[06:13] <zykotick9> sammmy: is it installed?  "whereis firefox" (or "whereis firefox-bin") should show you.
[06:14] <celthunder> sammmy: did you try /usr/bin or /sbin or /usr/sbin
[06:14] <waxstone> sammy: home folder>show hidden files/folders
[06:14] <sammmy> zykotick9: Ok. Quick tip: is there a way to quickly bring up the command line?
[06:14] <zykotick9> celthunder: firefox will not be in /sbin or /usr/sbin (or i hope not anyway)
[06:14] <CFHowlett> sammmy   alt-f2
[06:15] <erespond> am need remove phpmyadmin tool and need install it again couse am forget my password for acess phpmyadmin any body have it ide ????
[06:15] <erespond> am need remove phpmyadmin tool and need install it again couse am forget my password for acess phpmyadmin any body have it ide ????
[06:16] <Lirth> DJ: "Could not open lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/"
[06:16] <erespond> please respond !!1
[06:16] <binger> celthunder I googled chroot. In the livecd try me I went to the home folder and i can see the 29gb ubuntu partition listed but will not let me mount and open.
[06:16] <Lirth> DJ: file, not directory*
[06:16] <DJ> Lirth, ps x|grep apt
[06:16] <theadmin> !patience | erespond
[06:16] <CFHowlett> !patience|erespond
[06:16] <DJ> and tell me the pid Lirth
[06:16] <sammmy> looks like firefox is in /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox and /usr/share/man/man1/firefox1.gz
[06:16] <Lirth> ps x|grep apt
[06:16] <Lirth> oops
[06:16] <erespond> theadmin, am have that probelm
[06:17] <celthunder> zykotick9: my browser is in /usr/bin... whats wrong with that... i use uzbl btw
[06:17] <theadmin> erespond: Patience. If nobody knows, nobody will reply.
[06:17] <erespond> am have install phpmyadmin on my box, ubuntu 10.10 and am have forget my password, am need rememove
[06:17] <Lirth> DJ: pid?
[06:17] <DJ> yeah it has to show a number
[06:17] <erespond> theadmin am need to know how to remove total phpmyadmin on my ubuntu
[06:17] <celthunder> erespond: look up clearing mysql root pws
[06:17] <DJ> with the command i give you Lirth
[06:17] <binger> celthunder so I can't get the complete mount path.  The error message says something about how there may be more info in the syslog.  Where is this?
[06:18] <erespond> celthunder, how i do ?
[06:18] <zykotick9> celthunder: uzbl FTW ;)  it was the sbin i had issue with
[06:18] <Lirth> DJ: I got 7528 and 7647 (2 different lines).
[06:18] <theadmin> erespond: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove phpmyadmin # Try something like this
[06:18] <celthunder> zykotick9: ah. lol ok
[06:18] <DJ> kill -9 7528
[06:18] <rogst> erespond: does sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin work?
[06:18] <sammmy> Yeah, so it's in the /usr/bin I wonder why though. It would make sense to have all installed applications in a Applications directory someone in the user's files.
[06:18] <celthunder> binger: /var/log/syslog
[06:18] <erespond> rogst, not work
[06:19] <binger> k
[06:19] <Lirth> DJ: done
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> sammmy: they are in different folders as some apps have different roles
[06:19] <DJ> now type sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:19] <zykotick9> sammmy: you don't like the idea of multiple users being able to share the same binary?  odd.
[06:20] <sammmy> zykotick9: well, there could be a common Applications directory someone too I guess. :\
[06:20] <zykotick9> sammmy: exactly what /bin and /usr/bin are?!
[06:20] <celthunder> zykotick9: must be an insecure environment.  i can think of a few where that would be handy... most of them are still bad reasons to de that though
[06:20] <erespond> i have try for find how to used / remove phpmyadmin and install it again with new password for access
[06:20] <erespond> i can't find it ?
[06:20] <Lirth> DJ: Errors with opening lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock and unable to lock admin directory /var/lib/dpkg
[06:20] <erespond> are that a bug ?
[06:20] <DJ> Lirth, type whoami
[06:20] <sammmy> zykotick9: Good point. Excuss me. xP
[06:20] <CFHowlett> erespond   more like a user error I'm afraid ...
[06:21] <celthunder> erespond: phpmyadimn just uses mysql
[06:21] <Lirth> DJ: "ubuntu"
[06:21] <erespond> CFHowlett, i have errer ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[06:21] <sammmy> Why are there two though? /bin and /usr/bin?
[06:21] <theadmin> sammmy: /bin is for critical system applications required during boot-time, /usr/bin is for user-related stuff
[06:21] <celthunder> it doesnt have its own passwrod so look up clearing your sql pw not phpmyadmin
[06:21] <theadmin> sammmy: You can put /usr on a separate partition to free space up
[06:21] <DJ> lol Lirth that's the Normal user account can you log in as root? at all? with su? Lirth
[06:21] <sammmy> theadmin: is that what usr stands for, user?
[06:21] <erespond> celthunder, am not fimiliar used mysql, am have big problem with command
[06:21] <theadmin> sammmy: Well, pretty much, I think so at least
[06:22] <erespond> and am so easy for used phpmyadmin ?
[06:22] <Lirth> DJ: I suppose I could reboot.
[06:22] <binger> celthunder that is one long syslog file.  Not sure what I am looking for either.  So if I reinstall ubuntu over the existing will it fix things?  will I lose that 25gb download AGAIN?
[06:22] <celthunder> binger: you can reinstall thats not a solution and if you choose not to format you wont lose anything.
[06:22] <DJ> reboot Lirth
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> erespond: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[06:23] <celthunder> binger: you should really just fix it though reinstall is the worst solution...
[06:23] <binger> celthunder so are you saying it won't fix the immediate issue?
[06:23] <skmsmslk> pls tell me how to install tv tunar driver ?
[06:23] <binger> celthunder I agree but don't know how.
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> erespond: http://sujeetha.blogspot.com/2010/09/reset-root-password-for-phpmyadminmysql.html
[06:23] <celthunder> can someone kick skmsmslk? ActionParsnip ?
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> celthunder: i'm not an op
[06:24] <skmsmslk> why bro ?
[06:24] <theadmin> sammmy: You can find more information as to what is where in the Linux filesystem here: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.pdf
[06:24] <DJ> why celthunder ?
[06:24] <Lirth> DJ: Blinky flashy _
[06:24] <sammmy> Why are all the binaries in /bin and /usr/bin not in their own directories?
[06:24] <erespond> ActionParsnip, thanks i will try you stepp
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> erespond: i don't even use the app, yet I found those.....
[06:24] <celthunder> dj hes annoying and keeps repeating the same things...
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: is it usb or pci based? You have given zero details....
[06:24] <erespond> ActionParsnip, thanks
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> erespond: did you not try the web first?
[06:25] <theadmin> sammmy: Just traditional for Linux, it's hard to even explain
[06:25] <zykotick9> sammmy: ask the creators of unix, it's been working like this for a long time...
[06:25] <skmsmslk> it is internal tv tunar ?
[06:25] <zykotick9> theadmin: before linux ;)
[06:25] <theadmin> zykotick9: Well, true on that too
[06:25] <celthunder> binger: pastebin the last few lines of your syslog
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: ok then run:  lspci   one line will identify the device chip, you can then use that to find guides
[06:25] <binger> k
[06:26] <KI7MT> sammmy, more casual reading is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[06:26] <DJ> Lirth, now see if you can use apt at all
[06:26] <skmsmslk> i had run it  Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
[06:26] <DJ> !tell celthunder about ops
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> sammmy: there was a time when each distro used its own file system for storage, it has since been standardised
[06:26] <Lirth> DJ: I hit same problem as a few days ago. "No caching mode page present"
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: ok now you know what it is you can find guides
[06:27] <erespond> ActionParsnip, am have E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[06:27] <erespond> after i used you step you give to me ?
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | erespond
[06:28] <skmsmslk> i had open one site but i donot understand anything ?
[06:28] <DJ> are you booting via a usb stick or something Lirth ?
[06:28] <Lirth> DJ: using the normal boot doesn't work
[06:28] <AnAnt> Hello, how do I configure my locale (user-specific not system wide) ?
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: try another
[06:28] <Lirth> DJ: that just has the flashing underscore
[06:28] <DJ> that's because you never did install grub and your system broke installing grub
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: you have tried ONE site...
[06:28] <skmsmslk> ya
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: so try others
[06:29] <skmsmslk> http://www.linuxtv.org/
[06:29] <Lirth> DJ: so use flashdrive?
[06:29] <DJ> no not at all
[06:29] <hmw> I tar-gz'ed a folder with  tar -cf my.tar foldername .  A friend is trying to uncompress this file with the GUI archiver, and gets: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format - can you explain? (I can unpack it on the commandline)
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: yes, try others
[06:29] <Lirth> DJ: then what?
[06:29] <DJ> are you using the live cd? Lirth ?
[06:29] <theadmin> AnAnt: GUI-wise, open the control center thingo, Language Support, and select a language. On the CLI, export LANG=lc_CC.ENC (where lc = language code, CC = country code, ENC = encoding)
[06:30] <Lirth> DJ: that's my usb
[06:30] <hmw> It was  tar -cf my.tar.gz foldername
[06:30] <AnAnt> theadmin: is there a default config file ?
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/48158
[06:30] <skmsmslk> can u plz provide me that !
[06:30] <theadmin> AnAnt: I dunno about that honestyl
[06:30] <AnAnt> ok, thanks
[06:30] <DJ> how are you booting ubuntu dude via cdrom or USB stick and please be specific
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> skmsmslk: http://askubuntu.com/questions/12912/phillips-saa7139-tv-tuner-card-not-working
[06:30] <zykotick9> hmw: it's a tar, not a tar.gz
[06:30] <Lirth> DJ: USB stick. It's the same thing I used to install
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> AnAnt: you can run:  locale=something command    and I believe it will work
[06:31] <hmw> zykotick9: Ok, but shouldn't the GUI packer "see" that?
[06:31] <skmsmslk> thanks i am going to try it !
[06:31] <DJ> ok Lirth then boot up the installation again and install grub
[06:31] <DJ> to /dev/sdb1
[06:31] <zykotick9> hmw: i have no idea, but by the error - i guess not
[06:31] <Lirth> DJ: Try ubuntu or install ubuntu?
[06:31] <erespond> all am have find that solution
[06:31] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: That'll do nothing, you're supposed to export it -- or else it won't get passed to child processes, and who cares what the locale for the shell itself is lol
[06:31] <hmw> zykotick9: hm. Well, thanks. I'll do some experiments and find out by "brute force" *g*
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: might be a gui app, or even another terminal ;)
[06:32] <DJ> Lirth, try installing a new fresh system if you have any files that you do not want  to loose then create a backup
[06:32] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah, if you mean the assignment followed by the command directly, then yeah that would work
[06:32] <binger> celthunder this may be a little more than you asked for but wasn't sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/874123/
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: that was the intention :D
[06:32] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: It's $LANG though, not $LOCALE, and most definetly not $locale
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: was a bit of a guess if i'm honest
[06:33] <crf> Hi. I'm trying to search for a text string among files in my Home directory. When I use search, I also chose a date modified of less than 2 days. But the search is taking forever. I suspect it is looking in files regardless of date modified. Does anyone know if that is the case
[06:33] <Lirth> DJ: Fun. Upgrade 11.10 to 11.10 or Erase and reinstall?
[06:34] <Zimm3r> how do i update gstreamer
[06:34] <DJ> Lirth, you should be asking that your self and answer that on your own Lirth
[06:34] <DJ> ;)
[06:34] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah, I see
[06:35] <Lirth> I have no data yet so reinstall I am doing.
[06:35] <Lirth> DJ: I have to go, school is tomorrow and I need the sleep. Thanks.
[06:35] <DJ> no problem Lirth
[06:36] <CFHowlett> !cookie|dj Your patience is inspiring.
[06:39] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: did all that stuff, but things are still the same. Forgot to do the unmounts at the end though so it froze while shutting down so I had to use the power button... doubt that'd make any difference though
[06:39] <celthunder> binger: back ok
[06:39] <celthunder> binger: so... what mode is your hdd in ahci compat etc in bios?
[06:40] <Zimm3r> anyone know how to update gstreamer
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: thats all I got dude,
[06:40] <binger> huh..not sure. guess i will have to reboot and check the bios..hang on
[06:40] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, why?
[06:41] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: because there is a bug in ther version i have and i want to see if it is gone in the new version
[06:41] <celthunder> Zimm3r: same as you would update anything else
[06:41] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, you have multiple gsteamer apps
[06:41] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: could leaving out the unmounts have screwed it up?
[06:41] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: yes
[06:41] <no-name-> (maybe a silly question)
[06:42] <researcher123> is it possible to formast aparititon while keepind data safe in other partition before fresh installation of Ubuntu 2.04?
[06:43] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, to go outside of your releases version not sure. Have you just run a update upgrade and are you sure that is the problem?
[06:43] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: well that is what
[06:43] <Zimm3r> #gstreamer recoomended is to udate
[06:43] <Zimm3r> update*
[06:44] <CFHowlett> Zimm3r   interesting: I've got 10.04 ubuntustudio, medibuntu and restricted extras.  apt-cache policy shows NO gstreamer on my system...
[06:44] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, they should tell you how if they are going to advise that I would think, never seen that asked before myself.
[06:44] <sammmy> Is there a way to move files from my wubi ubuntu installation over to my windows partition?
[06:45] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: isn't it a package like any other?
[06:45] <lucifer_> hi just looking for a room for Asking C++ Questions
[06:45] <CFHowlett> sammmy   ubuntuone ...
[06:45] <Fyodorovna> sammmy, wubi is afile in windows take a look.
[06:45] <lucifer_> Plz Help I Know This Is Not The Place
[06:45] <Zimm3r> #cpp
[06:45] <lucifer_> But I Searched And Could Get Any results
[06:45] <lucifer_> *couldn't
[06:45] <CFHowlett> lucifer_   either #c++ or ##cc++ I think
[06:46] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, sure and if your updated you have the latest.
[06:46] <Fyodorovna> you're*
[06:46] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: to ubuntu 11.10?
[06:46] <binger> celthunder thought i could see that in the bios at startup but don't.  Gonna boot into win7.  I can look under device manager pretty sure
[06:46] <DJ> thank you CFHowlett
[06:46] <lucifer_> CFHowlett, TNX
[06:47] <DJ> for the cookie ;)
[06:47] <celthunder> binger: uhm you want the mode in bios and nvm i guess....
[06:47] <idm> weird wireless problem on 11.04. wireless somehow stopped working properly whereas other devices connecting to the same wireless router has no problems. Even windows installed in the same machine has no problems. Just ubuntu linux can't. Anyone experienced this before?
[06:47] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, for whatever release your running. Maybe if you told us the problem it would be more helpful.
[06:47] <sammmy> Fyodorovna: You mean all my linux files are located in my C:\ drive on windows?
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> idm: which wireless chip?
[06:47] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: when I load a media file and then load another the wrong position is returned by gstreamer
[06:47] <celthunder> binger: its not likely you swapped it tn the last few days if you dont know where it is
[06:47] <crash1hd> I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how I create a link on the desktop to a python application? please :)
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> sammmy: in Wubi, yes in a file which is loop mounted at boot
[06:48] <Fyodorovna> sammmy, As far as I remember there is a wubi file called ubuntu I believe, not many here use wubi.
[06:48] <idm> ActionParsnip: Intel corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> crash1hd: could create a script, or make a .desktop file to run the command
[06:48] <idm> lsmod|grep iw shows iwlagn, iwlcore, mac80211 and cfg80211
[06:49] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, do you mean a video is not starting where you left off?
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> idm: if you run:  sudo rfkill list    isit blocked at all?
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> idm: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan  do you see access points?
[06:49] <sammmy> Fyodorovna: I know.. I'm a noob. xP
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> idm: is the Ubuntu OS fully updated?
[06:49] <crash1hd> ActionParsnip, Do you mean an sh file? I have not seen a .desktop file before I will google that :)
[06:49] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: no that if i load say a mp3 and then load another and immediatly play then pause the wrong time position is given
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> crash1hd: a shell script file to run the command, 'sh file' doesn't mean much
[06:50] <idm> Ampelbein: ya iwlist scan no problems
[06:50] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, what player?
[06:50] <idm> ActionParsnip: I believe so
[06:50] <crash1hd> ActionParsnip, ok a file that ends in .sh
[06:50] <Zimm3r> some python application
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> crash1hd: if you copy one of the files from ~/.config/autostart  you can modify it
[06:50] <DJ> idm, how are you trying to connect to your wireless?
[06:50] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: ^ some python application
[06:50] <crash1hd> ActionParsnip, ok thanks :)
[06:50] <idm> I attached it to my cell phones's AP, and get everything updated
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> crash1hd: file extensions are near meaningless in Linux
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> crash1hd: as long as it has the correct top line and is executable it will work with ANY extenion
[06:51] <idm> well... I think just the normal stock way.... the icon from the gnome panel shows I am connected
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> crash1hd: the .sh does nothing
[06:51] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, not sure really without a exact what it is.
[06:51] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: it happends in totem too if that helps
[06:51] <crash1hd> Ahh ok
[06:51] <idm> but ping does not work, apt-get update wouldn't work.
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> crash1hd: you could name the file 'awesome.script'   and it would do the same thing
[06:51] <DJ> idm, are you using the athero driver by any chance idm ?
[06:52] <computer_> is there something like a virtual router app for ubuntu?
[06:52] <idm> DJ: how to tell?
[06:52] <DJ> type lsmod idm
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> computer_: do you want to share your internet connection?
[06:52] <computer_> correct
[06:52] <danny> how do i install .deb files directly from the terminal
[06:52] <idm> DJ: just lsmod?
[06:52] <DJ> yes
[06:52] <zykotick9> danny: "sudo dpkg -i foo.deb"
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> !ics | computer_
[06:53] <idm> DJ: anything I should grep from?
[06:53] <sae> Hi :)
[06:53] <computer_> k thanks
[06:53] <idm> what should I check?
[06:53] <Fyodorovna> Zimm3r, not sure really.
[06:53] <DJ> if you want to grep then you grep ath idm
[06:53] <binger> celthunder of course windows is taking this time to do some updating of it's own so it's gonna be a while... I may give up for tonight
[06:53] <sae> running xubuntu 11.10 and seeing the following error message:error while loading shared libraries: libgdk-1.2.so.0
[06:53] <idm> DJ: no, returns nothing
[06:53] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: ok
[06:53] <Zimm3r> Fyodorovna: thanks
[06:54] <danny> zykotick9: i have to be in the right folder right ? for exmple i should be in downloads because thats were its at right
[06:54] <DJ> then paste the fully command output at paste.ubuntu.com  the lsmod idm
[06:54] <zykotick9> danny: correct or use the full path "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/foo.deb"
[06:54] <idm> DJ: ok... hold on
[06:54] <DJ> so i can see which wireless card you are using
[06:54] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, I'm thinking maybe what I need to do is chroot and install some video driver
[06:54] <DJ> and which drivers
[06:55] <binger> celthunder i would guess that it is IDE though
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: sure, install the package 'nvidia-current'
[06:55] <no-name-> alright
[06:56] <idm> DJ: 874133
[06:56] <idm> paste.ubuntu.com/874133/

[06:57] <DJ> now paste dmesg
[06:57] <DJ> now paste dmesg idm
[06:57] <idm> ActionParsnip: ....ok
[06:57] <scientes>  "starting anac(h)ronistic cron"
[06:57] <idm> DJ: ok

[06:57] <makara> Hi. Why ffmpeg can't find presets?
[06:57] <DJ> idm, mac80211 = to atheros driver
[06:57] <idm> ActionParsnip: is that disable 11n?
[06:58] <idm> DJ: you mean the same driver?
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> idm: yes, the chip has issues trying to get n speed so you tell it not to and it connects
[06:58] <DJ> yeah but mac80211 is buggy
[06:58] <DJ> use ath9k module
[06:58] <danny> zykotick9: thank you
[06:58] <CFHowlett> makara   see http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Preset-files
[06:58] <DJ> idm, still paste me the dmesg
[06:59] <idm> 874134
[06:59] <idm> dmesg content
[06:59] <sammmy> I searched for the quicktime plugin in the ubuntu software center and had no luck finding the plugin. I need to be able to view quicktime videos in chrome?
[06:59] <idm> DJ: you'd have to teach me how to exchange kernel modules...:)
[07:00] <idm> ActionParsnip: hmm... sounds too bad
[07:00] <DJ> idm, take a look at this url https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/756485
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> idm: my command will get you connected wirelessly :)
[07:00] <idm> ActionParsnip: will try
[07:01] <idm> this is a serious problem though... :(
[07:01] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, while installing that package (and updating before) I got Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?) ... not sure if that's significant
[07:01] <no-name-> I did sudo mount /dev /mnt/dev though
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: not sure dude, is it an error or a warning?
[07:02] <idm> I am using thinkpad x1 and had the exact same chip with that guy..
[07:02] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, it doesn't make the process stop, so I guess it's  a warning
[07:02] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, looks like it's installed though
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: score
[07:02] <no-name-> :)
[07:03] <no-name-> will now unmount stuff and reboot. wish me luck!
[07:05] <idm> ActionParsnip: holy shit... that DOES work!
[07:05] <Spanky> UPS support blows in all Ubuntu.    apcupsd is NOT user friendly folks...
[07:05] <idm> and now ping the router back to sub-zero ms... (which it should be, it was in 10th ms with that 11n enabled)
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> idm: cool stuff huh
[07:06] <binger> celthunder as far as I know I've never seen a reference to ahci. the controller is ata/atapi if that helps. Looked in sys info in win7 and it doesn't really specify mode
[07:06] <idm> damn it... what a shit chip
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> idm: indeed
[07:06] <pangolin> !language | idm
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> idm: just under linux though
[07:06] <idm> ActionParsnip: billion thanks!
[07:06] <idm> ok
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> idm: if you are just web browsing with it you'll be fine
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> idm: unless your web access is faster then 54Mbps
[07:07] <idm> I can live with it for now... (better than I can't even get any network)
[07:08] <idm> the last thread talks about upgrade the firmware... do you think it worths to try?
[07:08] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, hehe, nope :P
[07:08] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, I wonder if it's even a video thing
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: could try precise to see if the new kernel etc helps
[07:11] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, I was thinking maybe the problem was the kernel is /too/ new but ok
[07:12] <no-name-> I'll just check to see which kernel is on the installed xubuntu
[07:13] <zykotick9> no-name-: "uname -r" is a quick way to check kernel version
[07:13] <no-name-> Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-12-generic
[07:13] <no-name-> zykotick9, yeah. I just had to mount the drive and chroot first :)
[07:14] <no-name-> which is the same kernel as on the live usb...
[07:14] <no-name-> I wonder if those updates actually worked properly
[07:15] <zykotick9> no-name-: ummm, if you're booted from a liveUSB then that "uname -r" is reporting the running kernel (ie the one from the USB)
[07:15] <scientes> selected device is not a touchscreen I understand
[07:15] <scientes> selected device is not a touchscreen I understand
[07:15] <no-name-> zykotick9, but not if I chroot to the hard drives root, right?
[07:16] <zykotick9> no-name-: chroot doesn't change the kernel
[07:16] <scientes> I am getting that from Xorg when i first use my e2i touchscreen after starting X
[07:16] <scientes> this is with xserver-xorg-input-tslib
[07:16] <no-name-> oh
[07:16] <mi3> if my nick is registered, can anyone see my ip address?
[07:16] <no-name-> oh, well, I guess it wouldn't, yeah
[07:16] <zykotick9> !cloak | mi3
[07:16] <zykotick9> mi3: yes
[07:17] <no-name-> anyway, when I tried apt-get upgrade again this time I got this http://pastebin.com/FZXqaAXV so I guess everything updated except the kernel
[07:18] <zykotick9> no-name-: you need "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to get that new kernel
[07:18] <mi3> but i registered my nick zykotick9, still anyone can see?
[07:18] <no-name-> zykotick9, ahh, ty
[07:18] <zykotick9> mi3: yes they can see your IP - if you get a cloak, they can't
[07:18] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, what is this precise thing you were talking about?
[07:18] <mi3> ok
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: pre-release ubuntu 12.04
[07:19] <no-name-> ahh
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> mi3: registering just means that if someone sees mi3, they know it's you and not someone else
[07:19]  * no-name- running apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:19] <mi3> ohh
[07:20] <no-name-> hey, can you use unetbootin from a live usb? :)
[07:20] <no-name-> I have no OS now, see
[07:20] <no-name-> don't want to install one just to make installer disks
[07:20] <dr_willis> no-name-:  yes you can
[07:20] <no-name-> neat
[07:20] <no-name-> I have everything I need then :D
[07:21] <dr_willis> no-name-:  or just dd the iso to a flash
[07:21] <no-name-> ahh
[07:22]  * zykotick9 wonders why so many people recommend dd to put 11.10 to USB, when cat is what is officially suggested
[07:22] <dr_willis> cant say iv ever seen official
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> or use unetbootin
[07:23] <Sarakun> HI,
[07:23] <dr_willis> i also recall cat having issues ages ago compared to dd
[07:24] <Sarakun> How to install Inline Captive Portal.?

[07:29] <zx1986> ActionParsnip: thanks! I will try it and note it on my own!
[07:29] <dr_willis> ive seen issues wuth the fglrx drivers and gnomeshell also zx1986
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> zx1986: from the wiki it looks like mysql.....
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraCli
[07:30] <zx1986> here is my note about ATi X2300 in Ubuntu 11.10: http://zx-1986.blogspot.com/2012/02/ati-drivers-in-ubuntu.html
[07:31] <zx1986> but I wrote in Chinese
[07:31] <zx1986> and my last choice were "xserver-xorg-video-ati* xserver-xorg-video-radeon* "
[07:32] <zx1986> and I remove all flash in my Ubuntu box
[07:32] <no-name-> nope
[07:32] <zx1986> I mean I remove all flash plugin in my Ubuntu 11.10
[07:34] <zx1986> and run the open source version ATi driver (not fglrx) in Ubuntu 11.10 with ATi X2300
[07:34] <no-name-> ActionParsnip: do you know how I can just make it boot up with the generic drivers that the live cd uses?
[07:34] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, because, the live cd works fine
[07:34] <zx1986> but gnome 3 still crash "sometimes"
[07:35] <_raven> any ideas for irc-bouncer in ubuntu?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: could add the bootoption: xforcevesa
[07:36] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, how do I add a boot option?
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: could use the chroot, Try F4 when the usb starts to boot
[07:37] <MimosakaRyou> why can't i cd to an ntfs partition? is this normal?
[07:37] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, I just mean what file do I need to change
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> MimosakaRyou: it willneed mounting, you can then cd into the mountpoint
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: /etc/default/grub    like when you added the nouveau.blacklist=1
[07:38] <no-name-> /etc/default/grub?
[07:38] <no-name-> cool
[07:38] <MimosakaRyou> it's already mounted ActionParsnip
[07:38] <MimosakaRyou> still can't cd to it
[07:39] <auronandace> mimico: spelling it right? got permission?
[07:39] <auronandace> MimosakaRyou:
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> MimosakaRyou: are you cd'ing into the mount point or the file in /dev
[07:40] <SubjectOne> is there an easy way to create an service of an application ?
[07:40] <SubjectOne> i downloaded CmapServer ( but it doesn't install as a service )
[07:40] <mi3> how many bots are there on this channel?
[07:41] <auronandace> mi3: should just be ubottu and the floodbots
[07:41] <mi3> hmm
[07:43] <reith2004> MimosakaRyou if you cant cd, try to browse it by going to /media or /mnt or /your/mount/folder, but typically it would be in /media
[07:44] <ktwo> hI, yesterday i had to force poweroff , and now i cant login to user (returned to login mask after inserting the correct pwd. What can i do to restore the user's data? (was encrypted) now im logged on with another user i created
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> MimosakaRyou: can you run:  mount    which line defines the NTFS share please
[07:45] <Inner> Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me.. I'm trying to get Ubuntu Server 11.10 to re-write the default /etc/apache2 folder, without much luck. if you could help thanks.
[07:45] <MimosakaRyou> ActionParsnip , reith2004 : managed to solve it. apparently i can't cd into a folder on the partition because of the folder name , which perhaps contain an invalid character "~"
[07:46] <MimosakaRyou> so i change it to something else , and i can cd to it now :)
[07:46] <theadmin> MimosakaRyou: To solve this problem, use: cd blahblah\~blahblah
[07:46] <theadmin> MimosakaRyou: With a \ before ~
[07:47] <theadmin> MimosakaRyou: Or just single-quote the name: 'like~this'
[07:47] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, # update-grub got me /etc/default/grub: 36: xforcevesa: not found
[07:47] <MimosakaRyou> wow thanks theadmin
[07:48] <zykotick9> Inner: this is stolen from !confmiss from #debian, you could try it with apt-get, not sure it'll work though - sudo aptitude -o DPkg::Options::='--force-confmiss' reinstall $packagename
[07:48] <theadmin> MimosakaRyou: This also applies to names with spaces and other crazy characters
[07:48] <SubjectOne> anybody here knows where i can get sysvconfig ? for ubuntu 10.10

[07:50] <no-name-> ok
[07:50] <no-name-> yeah that worked
[07:51] <no-name-> will unmount/restart again :)
[07:51] <Kaisyu2> Myrtti: I'm sorry. It's my mistake.
[07:52] <MimosakaRyou> ppl , is it possible to create a xmodmap script when i launch a certain app (games) , since xmodmap will only apply to the current x session?
[07:52] <ktwo> hI, yesterday i had to force poweroff , and now i cant login to user (returned to login mask after inserting the correct pwd. What can i do to restore the user's data? (was encrypted) now im logged on with another user i created   -  just read would be enough, no need to restore the profile, but if you know how , also ok
[07:52] <acemtp> hi there
[07:52] <acemtp> update-manager is a GUI program?
[07:53] <cheater_> apparently
[07:53] <acemtp> when isntalling it, it wants to install gnome
[07:53] <cheater_> it is
[07:53] <acemtp> how to upgrade on a server
[07:53] <scientes>        Latest versions of the Xorg tslib input driver use hal to configure the touchscreen
[07:53] <scientes>        within Xorg. Environment variables are only needed for the tslib commands.
[07:53] <scientes> but hal is deprecation
[07:53] <waxstone> !cookie | ActionParsnip
[07:53] <cheater_> aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade
[07:53] <scientes> i've got through like 4 levels of deprecation in available packages
[07:53] <theadmin> acemtp: Yes, it is, you can use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" to update on a server
[07:53] <acemtp> i m on karmic, and want to go to 10.4
[07:54] <cheater_> you mean 10.04
[07:54] <acemtp> indeed
[07:54] <auronandace> !eol|acem
[07:54]  * CFHowlett Thinks: GUi?  on a server?  HERETIC!
[07:54] <cheater_> 10.04 is not EOL yet
[07:54] <acemtp> auronandace: yes i read that, it tells to use update-manager
[07:54] <mi3> !cookie | ActionParsnip
[07:54] <cheater_> but karmic is
[07:54] <auronandace> cheater_: karmic is
[07:54] <mi3> ee ee
[07:54] <cheater_> acemtp: what you would do is to first update your server via apttitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade
[07:55] <acemtp> chadi: it s already done
[07:55] <cheater_> acemtp: then, edit your apt sources, and all ppas, to say "lucid" instead of "karmic"
[07:55] <Anaphaxeton> hello. i need that a couple of packaged be of newr version
[07:55] <Anaphaxeton> what could i do? add mirrors for later versions of ubuntu? i am on LTS
[07:55] <panik> i cant get my packages to download. internet is working fine.
[07:55] <acemtp> cheater_: oh really? onlt to do that?
[07:55] <auronandace> cheater_: that isn't how you do it
[07:55] <cheater_> then, you run aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade
[07:55] <cheater_> auronandace: ok how do you suggest to do it?
[07:56] <Anaphaxeton> akso i found out there is some update-manager?
[07:56] <auronandace> cheater_: via the link that ubottu gave
[07:56] <cheater_> btw the files you'd need to edit in my version are in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[07:56] <cheater_> ok looking at the link
[07:56] <acemtp> ok i have to use do-release-upgrade
[07:57] <MimosakaRyou> ppl , is it possible to create a xmodmap script when i launch a certain app (games) , since xmodmap will only apply to the current x session?
[07:57] <Inner> zykotick9:  thanks for the idea, didn't work though..
[07:57] <zykotick9> Inner: did you try with apt-get?
[07:57] <KayAteChef> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[07:58] <cheater_> auronandace, acemtp: i have just looked at the instructions on that link and they say exactly the same thing as i said here.
[07:58] <Inner> zykotick9: it says its already installed.. minus actually installing the /etc/apache2  folder of course.
[07:58] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, oddly enough that didn't work
[07:58] <zykotick9> Inner: with apt-get or aptitude?
[07:59] <Inner> zykotick9: indeed
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: try uncommenting the #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480    line and set the res your screen uses
[08:01] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, ok. but I think my screen is capable of that res... it's a 17" crt
[08:01] <debiano> What can make a jar file not run.I have JRE and JAVA installed,the permissions are inorder.The jar file was running a day a go,but today,it wont launch.
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: i'd set it to 1024x768   should be ok
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> debiano: if you run:   java filename.jar    does it run?
[08:03] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: (i could be wrong) but isn't it "java -jar foo.jar"?
[08:03] <debiano> ActionParsnip:I haven't tried that but should it just be the same as right clicking the jar.Let me try that
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: I think the -jar is assumed
[08:04] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, should I keep vga=791 ?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: i don't think you'll need it
[08:04] <auronandace> cheater_: you suggested renaming ppas too, you're meant to uninstall them and then install the ones for the release you are on after you upgraded
[08:04] <zykotick9> no-name-: probably not, as vga= is deprecated
[08:05] <Inner> zykotick9: what would you recommend, reinstall ubuntu ?
[08:05] <zykotick9> Inner: no.  but you never answered my question, apt-get or aptitude?
[08:05] <cheater_> auronandace: i've never had problems doing this, but you're right, that's one difference i hadn't noticed
[08:06] <SubjectOne> is there an "upstart" ubuntu channel ? need some help setting up a config file
[08:06] <Inner> zykotick9: oh, I'm sorry.. apt-get/aptitude return the same result, yes it reinstalls apache2 .. however /etc/apache2 is still not recreated.
[08:06] <no-name-> rebooting
[08:06] <debiano> ActionParsnip: Nope nothing,did not launch.
[08:06] <mariya> hi
[08:06] <zykotick9> Inner: don't have any suggestions then.  good luck.
[08:07] <Inner> zykotick9: thank you for your time and patients :)
[08:07] <OldOneEye> how do i change sudo password
[08:08] <mariya> did you try to use an ubuntu sever  from ovh
[08:08] <mariya> ?
[08:08] <zykotick9> OldOneEye: the sudo password is the users password?  so from terminal "passwd" as the user.
[08:08] <OldOneEye> my user name is bob
[08:08] <debiano> #java
[08:09] <OldOneEye> so i change bob's password?
[08:09] <zykotick9> OldOneEye: log in as bob, and in a terminal type "passwd"
[08:09] <snickers_> hi is anybody on at this time
[08:10] <phaidros> hi
[08:10] <waxstone> 1495 total =)
[08:10] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, that didn't work either, but I did forget to remove the vga= line (not sure if that matters though)
[08:10] <phaidros> how can I make sound continuously play even when changing users in 11.10 ?
[08:10] <snickers_> Im having issues getting my music from the ubuntu one music store.. its stuck in queued
[08:10] <phaidros> snickers_: it sometimes takes a while
[08:11] <snickers_> phaidros, ive noticed.. but I dont want to wait 2 days for my music
[08:11] <snickers_> is ther any way to speed things up
[08:11] <zykotick9> snickers_: you might want to ask in #ubuntuone
[08:12] <snickers_> >.< me not so happy about ubuntus terrible music store experience
[08:12] <zykotick9> snickers_: this isn't the channel for such statements
[08:13] <phaidros> snickers_: I have not really a clue what goes on there, but had that experience once before, a while ago (a year?) .. I got help in #ubuntuone and a dev found a bug, that prevented the download
[08:13] <phaidros> I believe this is long fixed, but #ubuntuone is worth a try
[08:14] <snickers_> I know, it is a support channel. Nevermind, there she goes
[08:14] <snickers_> my music is being downloaded as we speak
[08:14] <snickers_> takes forever though
[08:14] <phaidros> audio guys? how to prevent pulse from stopping music when changing a user (I have multiple profiles for work and private and want to listen to the same music everywhere .. )
[08:14] <phaidros> snickers_: hehe, murphy :)
[08:15] <snickers_> phaidros, murphy's law?
[08:16] <phaidros> snickers_: yeah, as you try to figure, it silently starts downloading :)
[08:16] <CFHowlett> snickers_   a watched download ...
[08:18] <u4ia74> I was updating some apps and I saw a warning message "Warning: No support for locale: en_US.utf8"  How can I fix this/add support for utf8 en_US?
[08:18] <theadmin> u4ia74: Don't bother, normally nothing to worry about
[08:19] <phaidros> theadmin: still it sucks as one cannot see proper output
[08:19] <theadmin> phaidros: Long as the C locale is supported, well, all the english output, at least, will be visible
[08:20] <codepal> my /etc/sudoers isn't letting me set Cmnd_Aliases.....
[08:20] <phaidros> theadmin: agreed, still it is unnerving :)
[08:20] <codepal> I tried to add an APT group
[08:20] <u4ia74> theadmin: I just want to make sure I have utf-8 support.
[08:20] <snickers_> Ok, im out guys,, thanks for listening to my moaing
[08:20] <phaidros> u4ia74: try this: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/repair-perl-locale-errors-on-ubuntu-server.html
[08:20] <phaidros> snickers_: enjoy the music :)
[08:22] <codepal> I've got this working on a debian 6 server, why does it not work in ubuntu?
[08:23] <codepal> username ALL=NOPASSWD: APT
[08:23] <codepal> Cmnd_Alias APT = /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg
[08:23] <ktwo> so , no one an idea how to back up data of an user which had encrypted home folder? for some reason i cannot log anymore in (but i know the PW)
[08:24] <makara> CFHowlett: thanks, the presets changed. There was no 'normal'. Now I can't get the audio to work. Can't find libfaac audio codec, but I have it installed. I'm following the cheat sheet here http://rodrigopolo.com/ffmpeg/cheats.html
[08:25] <CFHowlett> makara   thank YOU!  Cheatsheet has been stickied!
[08:26] <u4ia74> phaidros: actually "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" worked.
[08:26] <zykotick9> makara: if you are using the ffmpeg from the default repo - it's AAC support has been disabled
[08:27] <theadmin> codepal: You have to define the alias first, THEN start using it. That is, it has to appear in the file earlier. Before it starts being used.
[08:27] <codepal> theadmin, I put them in the correct sections
[08:27] <makara> zykotick9: why is that?
[08:27] <ciccio> salve!list
[08:28] <theadmin> codepal: Ah, hm, okay.
[08:28] <codepal> alias is being created first
[08:28] <zykotick9> makara: licensing issue of some sort...
[08:28] <codepal> it's probably some dumb oversight
[08:29] <makara> zykotick9: how boring. what do you do?
[08:29] <CFHowlett> zykotick9   is aac processing in the compiled version?
[08:29] <ciccio> > it's probably some dumb oversight
[08:29] <zykotick9> CFHowlett: not sure.
[08:29] <zykotick9> makara: i don't use ffmpeg from ubuntu (i don't use ubuntu though)
[08:36] <makara> CFHowlett, zykotick9: I see now http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1117283.html
[08:37] <Darksoft> hi

[08:38] <Darksoft> i wanna make a team in backtrack
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Darksoft: ask in the backtrack channel then
[08:39] <peaceZ> i have a problem to install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin under lucid, anyway i added the apt line for partner , but still could not install
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: its not packaged anymore
[08:40] <zykotick9> peaceZ: if you want sun-java you need to download it from Oracle, see link in !java for more details
[08:40] <peaceZ> but i were on there website i could not find any debs
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: again, it's not packaged (no debs)
[08:40] <peaceZ> anyway it was existing for lucid how comes it disappeared ?
[08:40] <OldOneEye> user bob isnt in sudoer file
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: oracle changed the license
[08:41] <peaceZ> ha ok thanks for the information
[08:41] <zykotick9> OldOneEye: find some way to add bob to the admin group (recovery maybe?)
[08:41] <OldOneEye> ok
[08:42] <peaceZ> then how to install that bin file? just launch and everything done on any distribution ?
[08:42] <zykotick9> !java | peaceZ
[08:42] <DarkSoft> Hi all !
[08:42] <DarkSoft> somebody with backtrack ?
[08:43] <DarkSoft> somebody with backtrack ?
[08:43] <peaceZ> me i am especially interested by the browser plugin, because it is not possible to play the yahoo java games with icedtea
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> DarkSoft: its offtopic here, backtrack is not supported here and has its own channel
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: what is the output of:  uname -m
[08:44] <DarkSoft> actionparsnip do u have a channel of backtrack ?
[08:44] <[deXter]> DarkSoft, #backtrack
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> DarkSoft: you were told earlier but:   #backtrack-linux
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack | DarkSoft
[08:45] <DarkSoft> ty !
[08:46] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip i686
[08:47] <j0ppe> Is there any pre-configured servers available? I've searched Google without results.. I'm a bit lazy but I have a "oK" extra computer which I thought I'd use as a Server.. Does anyone know if there's any like pre-downloadable server .iso's which includes like irssi and jailkit? Thanks so much
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: run this and you'll get java: cd; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/install32bitJava; chmod +x ./install32bitJava; sudo ./install32bitJava
[08:51] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip thanks a lot, do i need to uninstall icedtea or will it be done automatically ?
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: it will still be there, just not used. You will need to select the oracle java when asked
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: asked in the install, that is
[08:52] <peaceZ> i have 2 choices on the install process 1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java   1061      mode manuel  2            /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_03/bin/java          81        mode manuel
[08:53] <peaceZ> do i need to choose the first one ?
[08:54] <peaceZ> first is default option
[08:54] <slikts> what's a good way to get notifications about ubuntu security issues?
[08:55] <Bodsda> slikts: subscribe to the usn feed http://www.ubuntu.com/usn
[08:55] <llutz> slikts: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce
[08:56] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip
[08:57] <Prince> Hi....Everybody...
[08:58] <MeirD> Is there anyway I can know if a filesystem is mounted as readonly (without just trying to write something on it)
[08:59] <peaceZ> MeirD right click, properties
[08:59] <zykotick9> MeirD: type "mount" look for "ro" on right side
[08:59] <llutz> MeirD: "mount" tells you
[08:59] <Bodsda> MeirD: mount | grep whatever
[09:00] <MeirD> thnx
[09:00] <llutz> MeirD: or "grep /dev/sdXY /proc/mounts|grep ro"
[09:01] <Bodsda> MeirD: or "mount | grep ro"
[09:01] <llutz> or or or :)
[09:01] <MeirD> thnx, I got rw,errors=remount-ro
[09:01] <Bodsda> :) loads ways
[09:01] <xgpt> does anyone else have a gmx.org email?
[09:01] <xgpt> *gmx.com
[09:01] <zykotick9> MeirD: that remount-ro isn't a regular ro
[09:01] <mi3> Hi
[09:01] <mi3> @
[09:01] <mi3> !
[09:02] <Shojo> hi:P
[09:02] <MeirD> ok, thanks
[09:02] <Bodsda> MeirD: That line means normally the fs will be mounted read-write, but if there is an error found, it will remount as read-only
[09:02] <MeirD> thnx
[09:03] <fractal_heart> hi, is it possible to combine 11.10 desktop and server iso into a single USB install stick with a boot menu selection?
[09:05] <Bodsda> fractal_heart: yeah, the LinuxFormat guys have done that a few times for their magazine. See if this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization -- In theory you should be able to include as many directory structures of bootable OS's as you like, providing theres enough space and you can configure the boot loader correctly
 peaceZ: it will still be there, just not used. You will need to select the oracle java when asked  , when and where it is asked ? i launched the browser and it still does not works
[09:06] <Etherael> I can see some missing binaries from an installed deb, is there a way to automatically redownload those? I can't remove the package because it has a ton of deps
[09:07] <llutz> Etherael: sudo apt-get -f install
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: what is the output of:  jave -version
[09:07] <Etherael> that just fixes missing packages, this is actually missing binary files on the disk from a package that is installed.
[09:07] <Etherael> ie file libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1
[09:07] <Etherael> is missing.
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> java =version   sorry, peaceZ
[09:07] <llutz> Etherael: then reinstall the package and don't remove those files again
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> you get the idea
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: java -version
[09:08] <zx1986> !info tmux
[09:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> terminal multiplexer?
[09:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> o.o
[09:08] <Etherael> llutz: I have no idea how they were removed or how they even got there, I can't reinstall it as it's under many other packages which would also have to be removed and then redownloaded.
[09:08] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip java version "1.6.0_20" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.13) (6b20-1.9.13-0ubuntu1~10.04.1) OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
[09:08] <zx1986> yeah! tmux is pretty COOL!
[09:08] <Etherael> so there is literally no way to install over the top of the package?
[09:08] <Bodsda> Etherael: the reinstall shouldn't touch correctly installed deps as far as i know
[09:09] <Etherael> Bodsda: If you try remove a package, it protests because there are other packages dependant upon it.
[09:09] <zykotick9> Etherael: you could try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall foo"
[09:10] <llutz> !find /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1
[09:10] <Etherael> zykotick9: Bingo, thanks.
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: did you select the oracle java 1.7 when the option came up
[09:10] <Bodsda> Etherael: yes.. but what about reinstall?  apt-get install <package> --reinstall
[09:10] <Etherael> yep, --reinstall is the flag I was after.
[09:10] <alkisg> In precise/gnome-fallback session (but I believe it's the same in previous versions too) if I press the print screen keyboard key, I get a "photograph taken" sound. But where can I find the screenshot in the file system?!
[09:10] <Bodsda> llutz: I didn't know about that feature of ubottu! Cool
[09:10] <llutz> Etherael: aeh, how else than the way zykotick9 suggesteddid you try to reinstall before?
[09:11] <Etherael> llutz: apt-get purge blah (things a-z depend on blah) well then...
[09:11] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip during the installation ? i choosed java-6
[09:11] <Etherael> maybe there is a reinstall flag
[09:11] <Bodsda> alkisg: try your home directory or Pictures folder, or clipboard maybe
[09:11] <Etherael> turns out there is.
[09:11] <llutz> Etherael: there is ;)
[09:11] <alkisg> Bodsda: not in home or clipboard, trying "pictures"...
[09:11] <danny> hello were is the themes file located and do i put the theme zip in theere or do i extract it {gnome-shell}
[09:11] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip should i select jre?
[09:12] <alkisg> Bodsda: thank you, they were indeed there
[09:12] <Bodsda> alkisg: awesome :)
[09:13] <stephanb> hi there
[09:14] <stephanb> is there a way to set a proxy for firefox via ssh?
[09:14] <ponrajuganesh> what command will get the file created time?
[09:14] <stephanb> i mean if i only got a connection to the box via ssh
[09:15] <zykotick9> stephanb: are you using Xforwarding with ssh?
[09:15] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip i restarted the install and now i choosed jre 1.7
[09:17] <ktwo> so , no one an idea how to back up data of an user which had encrypted home folder? for some reason i cannot log anymore in (but i know the PW)
[09:18] <dr_willis> theres some way to mount the encrypted home i recall. if you know the  password. but i never use it
[09:18] <Catopette> Has anyone seen that the sources.list has foultys in it for the newest ubuntu?
[09:18] <stephanb> zykotick9: no
[09:18] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip now i have it java version "1.7.0_03" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_03-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 22.1-b02, mixed mode)
[09:18] <Bodsda> stephanb: see if any of these answers help - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/843340/firefox-proxy-settings-via-command-line
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: did the file download from the oracle site?
[09:19] <peaceZ> i used your link
[09:19] <Catopette> Has anyone seen that the sources.list has foultys in it for the newest ubuntu?
[09:19] <stephanb> Bodsda: yeah, looks like this is what i needed, thanks a lot!
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: thats not my question
[09:19] <llutz> Catopette: "newest" = 12.04?
[09:19] <Bodsda> ponrajuganesh: the file creation time is not stored anywhere. Best you can hope for is last modified datetime
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: did you see the file get downloaded from the oracle site
[09:19] <dr_willis> Catopette:  beta chat i ubuntu+1
[09:19] <peaceZ> i will check the terminal output
[09:20] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip the top of the post has be cutted i can't see it
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Catopette: join me in +1 please :)
[09:21] <peaceZ> ActionParsip but now the version looks good
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> peaceZ: if you read the script, its a pretty simple process
[09:21] <sharpK> is nvidia x server my best option for a multimonitor setup (1 desk monitor and a TV)?
[09:22] <Catopette> +1?
[09:22] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, heh, so I noticed I'd put 1024x7680 ... after correcting that, it works!!!! you rule, dude!
[09:22] <llutz> Catopette: /join #ubuntu+1
[09:22] <Catopette> Ok
[09:22] <Bodsda> sharpK: you just need the nvidia drivers, then run   sudo nvidia-settings   to configure your dual screens
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: yey! plus you know for next time. Looks like your monitor is a little stubborn
[09:23] <no-name-> yeah :)
[09:23] <Bodsda> no-name-: that's a nice fail! :)
[09:23] <dr_willis> sharpK:  nvidia works well for me and multi video displays
[09:23] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, it worked fine under ubuntu 10.10 on a different pc, though, funnily enough
[09:23] <no-name-> Bodsda, ya, hehehe
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: nice persistence too dude, very commendable
[09:23] <dr_willis> sharpK:  how is the tv connected?
[09:23] <no-name-> ActionParsnip, hehe. thanks, you too :)
[09:23] <sharpK> dr_willis HDMI...
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> no-name-: yeah the display timings and such have changed in the new kernel as I understand it
[09:24] <dr_willis> sharpK:  then it basically is another computer monitor. ;)
[09:24] <no-name-> ahh
[09:24] <Bodsda> sharpK: I'm doing exactly the same thing - got irssi running on a 42" TV :)
[09:24] <pyg> I'm using Colemak keyboard layout in 10.04 and everything is working fine except that Capslock needs to be presses to backspace (holding it doesn't repeat). Anyway to fix this?
[09:24] <WhereIsMySpoon> o.o
[09:25] <WhereIsMySpoon> you need to press capslock to be able to backspace?
[09:25] <pyg> no no
[09:25] <sharpK> dr_willis yeah, but I can't find overscan settings for the TV and it's not displaying ideally...
[09:25] <sharpK> Bodsda did you have overscan issues?
[09:25] <dr_willis> sharpK:  nvidia-settings tool perhaps.
[09:25] <pyg> WhereIsMySpoon: Capslock doubles backspace, but holding it doesn't repeat it, unlike holding the "real" backspace.
[09:26] <Bodsda> sharpK: yeah, I still do - it cuts about an inch off the side. I put it down to me running 12.04 since alpha1 though, so was waiting for new drivers/xorg
[09:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> pyg - so you mean whenever you have capslock on, you cannot repeatedly delete letters by holding down backspace?
[09:27] <Bodsda> sharpK: thinking about it, the nvidia tools on windows could manually scale to any resolution. If you could find the best size, you may be able to use xrandr to set that manually on ubuntu?
[09:27] <sharpK> what in carnation? my root password isnt working anymore...!!?!
[09:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> =/
[09:28] <sharpK> I can't get to nvidia settings, saying sudo password is wrong...?
[09:28] <sharpK> how can this happen?
[09:29] <dr_willis> try a sudo -i and see
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: its tarnation and setting the root pass ins't supported here. The account is disabled
[09:29] <carli2> hi. how can I add a OEM dialog on bootup? I want to give my netbook away and I already installed all updates (don't want to format)
[09:29] <Bodsda> heh... disabled ;)
[09:29] <Bodsda> sharpK: I haven't used this method for while, but have a look http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[09:30] <sharpK> I just "sudo rebooted" like 5 minutes ago with the same pass
[09:30] <dr_willis> !oem
[09:30] <dr_willis> hmm.. thought thers was some oem setup feature..
[09:30] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip to avoid the problems i uninstalled icedtea, and now when launching firefox it still be greyed, frozen
[09:30] <carli2> afaik it's a deb package name sth like "jaunity"
[09:32] <Oer> there is, dr_willis  >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview
[09:33] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip now in the content plugins of firefox i see only the java plugin 1.7 no more other things, it should works i think
[09:33] <carli2> understand me, I don't want a install CD, I want that the laptop boots up and the first thing the user sees is the oem-config
[09:34] <carli2> I want to remove my old user and add some line to lightdm to start the oem config
[09:34] <carli2> or however it works
[09:34] <carli2> that's what I want to know
[09:34] <Wkurtz> Greetings all. I'm having a little problem on Ubuntu, maybe someone could help me. The issue is that the session is closing automatically, as if it crashes. I've made a change recently which was the GC driver. For the rest, is pretty much the same.
[09:36] <carli2> ubiquity?
[09:36] <carli2> what's the program to add a user and ask the questions asked at oem config?
[09:38] <bluefrog> oem-config
[09:39] <Nicekiwi> hey I have an iissue with my laptop randomly ignoring my mouse and keyboard.. anyone know how I can diagnose this?
[09:40] <crizzy> Nicekiwi: did you run powertop and set these under powersaving mode? :)
[09:40] <Nicekiwi> crizzy, not sure what u mean?
[09:41] <Wkurtz> Greetings all. I'm having a little problem on Ubuntu, maybe someone could help me. The issue is that the session is closing automatically, as if it crashes. I've made a change recently which was the GC driver. For the rest, is pretty much the same.
[09:41] <crizzy> Nicekiwi: well.. then you probably didn't do it. anyway, if you set usb etc to automatic powersaving mode from powertop, these need a click first to 'wake' them
[09:41] <zykotick9> Wkurtz: GC driver? Graphics Card?  what gpu are you using?
[09:42] <Nicekiwi> crizzy, this is the keyboard and mouse-pointer-thing built into the laptop
[09:42] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip i think finally i will return to icedtea and i will forget java 1.7
[09:42] <crizzy> Nicekiwi: i see.
[09:42] <crizzy> no idea then :/
[09:42] <Nicekiwi> :(
[09:43] <eso4g2__> :333
[09:43] <Nicekiwi> I used to think the display just frooze.. but it seems everyhting still works.. but the system ignores the keyboard and mouse clicks.. i can still move the mouse though
[09:43] <Wkurtz> Zukotick9: yes, it's Graphics Card. I'm using Nvidia Quadro.
[09:44] <eso4g2__> I like tits *-*
[09:44] <zykotick9> !tab > Wkurtz
[09:44] <Wkurtz> Quadro NVS 290 to be precise
[09:44] <zykotick9> Wkurtz: sorry i have no experience with the quadro cards - good luck
[09:45] <Wkurtz> ok, thank you!
[09:45] <eso4g2__> booooooooooobs

[09:52] <BlueWolf> How do I get google talk to work on my Ubuntu. Or where would I download and install it?
[09:54] <danny> so for the gnome tweak tool i have gotten the user themes extension but when i look under themes tab it tells me the extension is not enabled and it is
[09:58] <nibbler> BlueWolf, use pidgin or any other instant-messenger, they all support google talk
[09:58] <BlueWolf> 	
[09:58] <BlueWolf> nibbler: Thanks :D
[10:00] <isak> I am just testing irssi, hope I don't annoy annoy anyone. If anybody has some advice for a beginner like me, I'd appreciate it.

[10:14] <liquidgarnet> Hey guys, I haven't been using ubuntu for a few years and I just got back into it. I'm not a big fan of Unity, any suggestions for good alternatives?
[10:14] <crizzy> !nounity
[10:14] <liquidgarnet> alright, thanks
[10:18] <dr_willis> liquidgarnet:  unity in 12.x is worth trying
[10:19] <SubjectOne> where are the files, commands places  that must run as a service ( rc.local is empty ? )
[10:19] <liquidgarnet> dr_willis, I'm on 11.10 right now
[10:19] <dr_willis> rc.local is just one file in /etc/ for special cases
[10:19] <peaceZ> ActionParsnip the official java is working fine on chromium with yahoo games, but not at all in firefox which freeze, for me it is good like that
[10:19] <dr_willis>  /etc/init/ is for upstart services
[10:21] <scT3h> can someone help me with a mouse issue? It may not even be the mouse but most of the time when I open multiple windows I cannot click on anything.. The mouse moves but nothing is 'focused'
[10:22] <SubjectOne> dr_willis, so i need to create an config file
[10:22] <liquidgarnet> scT3h, it's likely not the mouse. What window manager are you on?
[10:23] <SubjectOne> dr_willis: , this is my http://pastebin.com/Fm8pTeQ2
[10:23] <SubjectOne> i think all is in order
[10:25] <scT3h> liquidgarnet, do you mean theme?
[10:25] <scT3h> liquidgarnet, well it is gnome not kde
[10:26] <encrypt> hi guys, recently came back to unity from xfce and have to say that with a dock at the bottom works just fine. But the music lense is not indexed to the music folder. any way to fix it?
[10:27] <liquidgarnet> scT3h, what version of ubuntu are you on? I remember there being things like an option for making the focus follow the mouse pointer. Something might be configured wrong
[10:29] <scT3h> liquidgarnet, it 'does' work.. but here is my version info: Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[10:29] <scT3h> Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[10:29] <scT3h> Release:	10.04
[10:29] <scT3h> Codename:	lucid
[10:29] <liquidgarnet> scT3h, http://askubuntu.com/questions/64605/how-do-i-set-focus-follows-mouse may help. I'm thinking it's a config problem with the mouse behavior
[10:30] <scT3h> liquidgarnet, it just looses focus somtimes..
[10:30] <scT3h> liquidgarnet, i'll check out the link, tnx.
[10:36] <hp> how do i make a kernel for my computer
[10:36] <geirha> scT3h: 10.04.2 ? you should install updates. The latest is 10.04.4
[10:39] <dime01> Hi all
[10:39] <Catopette> 10.04.4 does have error in sources.file
[10:39] <dime01> Could somebody test for me a page which should display a java applet
[10:39] <dime01> for me it crash Firefox and on Chromium it display a gray rectangle
[10:39] <liquidgarnet> dime01, what's the page?
[10:39] <dime01> liquidgarnet : The URL of the page : http://www.netstyler.com/fr/netstyler/loadNetstylerModule/query/6
[10:40] <dime01> On Chromium it displays a gray rectangle instead of a 3D bag
[10:41] <liquidgarnet> dime01, the applet is running okay on firefox on 11.10 here, default java runtime
[10:41] <Catopette> netstyler is for linux? huh? Can i apt it?
[10:42] <dime01> liquidgarnet ok Thank you very much. Im using Firefox 10.0.2
[10:42] <dime01> I will try to update it
[10:42] <dime01> Can you test on Chromium please ?
[10:42] <liquidgarnet> dime01, I'll try now
[10:43] <dime01> Catopette : What do you mean ?
[10:43] <Catopette> How do i get netstyler?
[10:43] <dime01> Catopette : How do you get what ?
[10:43] <Catopette> I tryed apt-get but no luck
[10:44] <liquidgarnet> dime01, it works on chromium (loads way faster too). It sounds like you're having trouble with the java runtime if it's crashing on both browsers
[10:44] <dime01> Catopette Its a website
[10:44] <Catopette> ok
[10:44] <Catopette> to bad
[10:44] <dime01> Catopette --> www.netstyler.com

[10:53] <Catopette> Ok?
[10:53] <SnipeMeNot> I just want the banshee player to use that partition
[10:53] <Catopette> You need to mount the partition
[10:54] <SnipeMeNot> I get errors
[10:54] <dr_willis> mount  your windows partition where you want and sccess the files..
[10:54] <SnipeMeNot> Its mounted (ntfs-config)
[10:54] <SnipeMeNot> After installing ntfs config ive read somewhere that its bad?
[10:54] <dr_willis> and the errrors are....
[10:54] <SnipeMeNot> Cant locate itunes uri to local uri
[10:54] <dr_willis> ntfc-cofig csn make a custome fstab for you

[10:57] <dr_willis> apple drm'ed files cant be played on banshee. i think
[10:57] <liquidgarnet> dime01, make sure you have icedtea6-plugin as well
[10:58] <SnipeMeNot> Hmm, im gonna try importing just the music files
[10:59] <Catopette> dr_willis? is there another way to make restorepartition then?
[10:59] <makara> 11.10 - How to launch Chromium??
[10:59] <Catopette> Seems to be that i need to make a kernel for this laptop
[10:59] <rexor> makara, superkeya and type chromium
[10:59] <rexor> *superkey
[10:59] <dr_willis> Catopette:  no idea. check askubuntu.com perhaps
[10:59] <liquidgarnet> makara, if it's installed just type chromium into the launcher. you can put a shortcut on the bar
[11:00] <makara> nothing happens. Its installed.
[11:00] <xiaoyang> Hi, all! Any idea I can access my irssi to IPV6 ? Thanks ^^
[11:00] <dime01> liquidgarnet I reinstalled firefox and icetea plugin

[11:01] <dime01> liquidgarnet Can you tell me what time it takes to display the applet using Firefox ?
[11:01] <celthunder> makara: dont start you browser as root....
[11:01] <makara> sorry
[11:01] <liquidgarnet> dime01, it took about 30 seconds to load fully. It depends on the hardware
[11:01] <SnipeMeNot> Something bad happend :(
[11:01] <SnipeMeNot> My laptop died while updating
[11:02] <makara> thought it might be a permissions thing
[11:02] <dime01> liquidgarnet Ok thank you for this information
[11:02] <rexor> makara, no
[11:02] <AminosAmigos> hello
[11:03] <Catopette> how do i make kernel for thisk laptop?
[11:03] <dime01> liquidgarnet Arf it always crashes Firefox :s
[11:03] <Catopette> customized
[11:03] <rexor> makara, if icon didn't show in launcher when u typed chromium I think it is  not installed
[11:03] <AminosAmigos> how to reconnect to eth0 through terminal ?
[11:03] <liquidgarnet> AminosAmigos, sudo ifup eth0
[11:04] <dime01> liquidgarnet It seems that Firefox loads the applet correctly but when its finish and it display applet, Firefox crashes
[11:04] <SnipeMeNot> Last quesion :(
[11:04] <AminosAmigos> thanks liquidgranet
[11:04] <SnipeMeNot> Whenever i try to use a pendrive i get an error "missing operating system"
[11:05] <enchilado> you should get one of those
[11:05] <enchilado> they can be useful
[11:05] <SnipeMeNot> Usb drives?
[11:05] <enchilado> operating system
[11:06] <SnipeMeNot> I do lol
[11:06] <dr_willis> SnipeMeNot:  you are not setting it up right. or thr pc cant boot from usb
[11:06] <SnipeMeNot> Win7/ubuntu
[11:06] <SnipeMeNot> Alrighty
[11:06] <SnipeMeNot> Its booted to usb tho
[11:06] <SnipeMeNot> (curious)
[11:06] <liquidgarnet> dime01, how about other java applets? try http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=AMX&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes for example
[11:07] <makara> got it. "chromium-browser"
[11:07] <makara> what a useless search the launcher has
[11:07] <SnipeMeNot> Lol
[11:08] <stephanb> is there any way i can find out from what dhcp-server my computer got it's IP-adress?
[11:08] <dime01> liquidgarnet, Firefox display it correctly
[11:08] <liquidgarnet> stephanb, it's in the routing table. I believe you can see it in ifconfig
[11:08] <SnipeMeNot> dr_willis: Would u reccomend installing ubuntu and win7 on two serperate hdd or side by side
[11:09] <liquidgarnet> dime01, you may want to try running that other applet standalone then
[11:09] <dr_willis> SnipeMeNot:  each on own hd is much easier
[11:09] <stephanb> liquidgarnet: no, with ifconfig i only get the broadcast and the netmask
[11:10] <SnipeMeNot> dr_willis: Alright im going to do a clean install (ubuntu)
[11:11] <spronk> hmm, guys - any idea on how to diagnose a hardlock that doesn't seem to spit anything into syslogs or via netconsole?
[11:11] <dime01> liquidgarnet, I need to display the applet of netstyler because Im working on this website
[11:11] <AminosAmigos> i am sorry i am new to all this but how to maintain my Pc i mean like disk defragmentation in Win7 and getting more free space on the drive?
[11:12] <dime01> liquidgarnet, and I have the same thing on localhost ...
[11:12] <dr_willis> AminosAmigos:  you really dont worry about defraging linux
[11:12] <sacarlson> stephanb: not 100% but you can see what you default gateway is with sudo route that normaly points to the same server that runs dhcpd
[11:12] <SnipeMeNot> AminosAmigos: It defragging doesnt free hdd space, it makes read weite a lil bit faster
[11:13] <SnipeMeNot> Write*
[11:13] <stephanb> okay, i will try that...
[11:14] <Jordan_U> !defrag | AminosAmigos
[11:14] <stephanb> sacarlson: but that entry points to an ip with a "0" at the end, so i dont think this is a real computer
[11:14] <dime01> liquidgarnet, I have this error in java console when it crashes : Assertion failure: rt->onOwnerThread(), at /build/buildd/firefox-10.0.2+build1/build-tree/mozilla/js/src/jsapi.cpp:6316
[11:14] <SnipeMeNot> Does 11.10 have probs with 4965agn?

[11:23] <dr_willis> SnipeMeNot:  i say avoide it
[11:23] <Jordan_U> SnipeMeNot: I recommend against it, among other things it appears that it may have been abandoned (no changes for more than a year).
[11:23] <SnipeMeNot> What bootloader might u guys recommend aside from the stock
[11:24] <SnipeMeNot> (its been quite buggy-burg)

[11:38] <SnipeMeNot> Hmmm
[11:38] <magpii> damn, whatever i try, cd, usb install from boot up doesnt work, it gets to the options menu, then when i try clicking install it just hangs
[11:38] <SnipeMeNot> R u in college or fcompany
[11:38] <freewayzify> college
[11:38] <SnipeMeNot> Dont take oracle :)
[11:38] <dr_willis> could be a bad iso file you used magpii
[11:38] <magpii> I have tried numerous ways, even tried Debian but that does the same for some reason
[11:39] <freewayzify> what about java programming
[11:39] <SnipeMeNot> Whats ur major
[11:39] <dr_willis> magpii:  sounds like a hardware issue then
[11:39] <freewayzify> Nah stilll a minor
[11:39] <dr_willis> magpii:  try the alternative installer cd.
[11:39] <magpii> i have downloaded, re downloaded, tried different iso's, both 32 and 64 bit, ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10 and nothing works
[11:39] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify: Planning to take some computerish major?
[11:39] <skmsmslk> how to install ubuntu 12.04 LTS in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[11:39] <magpii> windows installed strate away without issue
[11:40] <dr_willis> magpii:  you were verifying the iso file befor and after the burn? do the cds work on other machones?
[11:40] <freewayzify> magpii Try using a bootable usb
[11:40] <Fuego>  or reset bios/cmos magpii then try again. also remove win hd. this is jsut to isolate the issue
[11:40] <magpii> the usb install works fine on my laptop
[11:40] <freewayzify> Snipemenot computersih
[11:40] <magpii> i have reset bios to optimum defaults and tried that...still no joy
[11:41] <magpii> my housemate is a linux programmer and even he is stumped
[11:41] <freewayzify> magpii then hardware problem
[11:41] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify: U cant learn any programming languages unless u take multiple classes
[11:41] <SnipeMeNot> Java 123
[11:41] <dr_willis> a  long run of memtest may show any problrms also
[11:41] <SnipeMeNot> Ull learn a lil bit with java 1
[11:42] <freewayzify> Snipeme but heard java has a lot to do wit pc
[11:42] <magpii> my hardware is fine, no issues with the disk, ram, graphics card, etc etc. any type of linux install now just hangs just after the option to install. even Debian too
[11:42] <SnipeMeNot> Web and mobile phones
[11:42] <SnipeMeNot> If u want to program softwares, start wth c++
[11:43] <dr_willis> magpii:  ive heard the 'my hw is fine' befor.. its very hard to prove however.
[11:43] <freewayzify> magpii is it the i386 iso file u downloaded
[11:43] <freewayzify> Snipeme i love python to c++
[11:43] <dr_willis> magpii:  try a very different distro like tinycore linux, see if that works
[11:43] <magpii> i downloaded both the 64 and the i386 versions of ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10
[11:43] <AminosAmigos> how to fix the failed ti fetch errors ?

[11:44] <freewayzify> but i dpwnloaded mine of reccent and it working
[11:44] <SnipeMeNot> I started wth c++
[11:44] <sacarlson> magpii:  graphic card a nvidea or ATI?  I have to assume it's a graphics card problem
[11:44] <Guest61664> I have this: Intel Atom D2700 2.13GHz Mini-ITX PC w/ 2GB, M350 & PicoPSU-80, D2700DC, HTPC.  I am trying to run it from a USB thumb drive, but it's stuck at 480p SD... any ideas how to change it?
[11:44] <Fuego> AminosAmigos:  update first
[11:44] <magpii> its wierd, because 2 days before I decided to install 10.04, i had succesfully installed 11.10 on this machine, then suddenly this issue out of the blu
[11:44] <AminosAmigos> i did update :/
[11:44] <magpii> graphics is nvidia
[11:44] <freewayzify> Snipeme  no good c++ lecturer in my college
[11:45] <sacarlson> magpii: oh nvidia that's quite well supported
[11:45] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify:  where u at?
[11:45] <Fuego> which nvidia magpii
[11:45] <dr_willis> magpii:  try the alt-istaller cd perhaps

[11:48] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify: Dude u need to kniw what field of comp ur gonna tkae
[11:48] <dr_willis> magpii:  unetbootin or the tools at pendrivelinux, some can even verify the iso files
[11:48] <freewayzify> Snipeme ya i realy need to know
[11:48] <sacarlson> magpii: I wonder if you made the mistake I made and failed to pick a partition to use for root?  maybe delete a partition and try install 11.10 again
[11:49] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify: I was talking computer science but i switched to computer science and engineering
[11:49] <freewayzify> Snipeme: why
[11:49] <SnipeMeNot>  
[11:50] <sacarlson> magpii: ya and that nomodeset also that dr_willis points out might be another starting point
[11:50] <magpii> tried that, my mate even made sure the drive had a root partition. I will try the link suggested by ubottu for the graphics options when i get home and see if that works
[11:50] <freewayzify> magpii try REDHAT
[11:50] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify: Its not easy to be a compscientist its hard to find a job
[11:50] <skmsmslk> does redhat is free ?
[11:51] <SnipeMeNot> magpii: My ODD has probs as well sometimes ubuntu would just freeze during installation
[11:51] <freewayzify> Snipeme: there are lot of computer guru in the state so it not easy
[11:51] <magpii> i will try the graphics thing when i get back from uni. my housemate mentioned something about newer graphics cards may not have a standard file config or something and may need tweaking .
[11:51] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify: Then try to be the best
[11:51] <magpii> yup, thats mine, gets to the screen with the world map location option on it, then just hangs
[11:52] <Fuego> thats right magpii
[11:52] <freewayzify> @SnipeMe so putting the engeneering skills and the programming know how gives u an upper hans\d
[11:52] <SnipeMeNot> Magpii try selecting "try ubuntu first"
[11:52] <magpii> doesnt even get that far sometimes, just after install option, the screen goes blank
[11:52] <SnipeMeNot> freewayzify: Its not like that, guys in my family are engineers

[12:06] <pengw> hi all
[12:07] <SnipeMeNot> Hi
[12:07] <oVo> hello
[12:07] <pengw> i am jack i have a question, once i wrote a command line to tell ubuntu that i want to "rmmod psmouse" at the startup of ubuntu but now i forgot where i wrote it.
[12:08] <pengw> I want to change this setting currently.
[12:08] <pengw> where is the file that  should put this command in?
[12:08] <BarkingFish> pengw, Do you not want that module to load at all?
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> SnipeMeNot  there's gpointing-device-settings, or it may be something you have to add in grub
[12:09] <sacarlson> pengw: maybe you blacklisted it?
[12:09] <BarkingFish> I was just about to suggest that :)
[12:09] <SnipeMeNot> MonkeyDust: Its a clean install with the update, i checked the mouse settings and its on, i also tried the hardware switch
[12:09] <pengw> no  no , I just put a command into a file
[12:10] <pengw> and I forgot it how funny is that
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> SnipeMeNot  then maybe try my hints
[12:10] <SubjectOne> oh bazhang, i tought is was already released
[12:10] <SnipeMeNot> MonkeyDust: What hints?
[12:10] <BarkingFish> There is a file at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf - you might be able to simply add the module to that list, and it will never load again, pengw
[12:10] <SnipeMeNot> Oh okie il look for it
[12:11] <sacarlson> pengw: well maybe cd /etc ; grep -r psmouse *
[12:11] <pengw> thx I will try :  cd /etc ; grep -r psmouse *
[12:11] <edwinkcw> hey, I have a stupid question. I saw sbd press ctrl + space bar, then he can search the program on his computer. Just like the spotlight in mac, what program is it?

[12:14] <sacarlson> bharath: I should assume you already sudo apt-get update ; but I have to ask
[12:15] <oVo> i think i saw something quite alike on ubuntu 11.10 (or 11.04?)
[12:15] <bharath> sacarison:yeah I have done it
[12:15] <edwinkcw> oVo: but I think there is a program in ubuntu doing it
[12:15] <oVo> but my ubuntu is down...i am not sure about it
[12:15] <potriquetg> #ubuntu-fr
[12:15] <sacarlson> bharath: other thing is that ppa repository aren't always stable,  you might want to remove that if posible
[12:15] <oVo> er.....locate?
[12:16] <sacarlson> bharath: or you might have to wait for the ppa server to become active again in the future maybe days
[12:16] <bharath> sacarison:how to do that
[12:16] <sacarlson> bharath: synaptic
[12:17] <SnipeMeNot> Reooting... Banshee froze when i added a music folder
[12:17] <bharath> sacarison: can you tell me the reason for this error checking for Python version >= 2.5 but not 3.x... /opt/gnome/bin/python2.7: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> bharath  for nick completion, type 2-3 characters and then [tab]
[12:18] <oVo> i have an idea: locate man |more.....lol
[12:18] <sacarlson> bharath: sounds like a ppa add that has unmet dependancy

[12:19] <ooiiooo_> I have problems playing certain radio streams (e.g. http://dradio.ic.llnwd.net/stream/dradio_dlf_m_a.ogg). In VLC, mplayer or mpd they play fine, in banshee and exile they are stuttering, have interruptions with loud noise for the fraction of a second, short cracks. I don't know how to describe it better. Any ideas what could be the cause?
[12:19] <crizzy> dcluo: install monodevelop
[12:20] <bharath> sacarlson: I can't understand , can you explain in detail?
[12:20] <dcluo> cool

[12:22] <esmirlin_> hey guys, if i have 11.10 installed should i make a fresh installation when 12.04 goes out or its perfectly upgradeable without loosing anything?
[12:22] <sacarlson> bharath:  do you under stand packages and how when you load one it also needs all the other parts from other packages if not already installed, if ppa is added they may require parts that are not part of the default repository
[12:22] <SnipeMeNot> MonkeyDust: I installed gpointing device settings and cant find it
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> SnipeMeNot  for some hardware, you need to add something in GRUB, moment
[12:23] <Catopette> esmirlin apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:23] <SnipeMeNot> (im sorty im still a noob
[12:23] <bharath> sacarlson: then how to resolve this issue?
[12:23] <pengw> hi all i found my command i put it into rc.local actually
[12:23] <pengw> /etc/rc.local
[12:23] <sacarlson> bharath: remove or purge the ppa that is the point of the fault
[12:24] <bharath> sacarlson: I am sorry , I am new to ppa can you tell me how to do that?
[12:24] <esmirlin_> Catopette: but everything is going to be update, i mean HUD and lighthemes and every every thing?
[12:25] <sacarlson> bharath: well you learned to add them now learn to purge them http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> SnipeMeNot  this is the idea, maybe it helps you in your search http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9973370#post9973370

[12:26] <SnipeMeNot> MonkeyDust: Alright thanks ill try it this morning
[12:27] <pengw> remove a ppa - it is easy : open you ubuntu software center and then -> menu edit -> source ->other software -> you will see ppa , just remove it.
[12:28] <sacarlson> pengw: bharath: that might work,
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> there's also purge-ppa
[12:29] <sacarlson> MonkeyDust: that's the link I gave the that shows purge-ppa
[12:29] <Fuego> is there a NAS server based on ubuntu ?
[12:29] <sacarlson> fuego: I forget what a NAS server is
[12:30] <bharath> sacarlson:  do we need to delete all the ppa's?
[12:31] <sacarlson> bharath: maybe start with the one that shows the fault to start if more pop up the we will see
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> Fuego  start here https://github.com/xombiemp/Ubuntu-NAS
[12:31] <Fuego> thanks
[12:33] <thrillERboy> Hi, If I install 12.04 beta, will have to reinstall when the full version is out, or I can just upgrade?
[12:33] <jpds> thrillERboy: Upgrade.
[12:33] <thrillERboy> thnks jpds
[12:33] <bharath> sacarlson: no change
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> thrillERboy  better ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:35] <SnipeMeNot> MonkeyDust: Sorry stupid question ive edited grub but i meed permission what do i do
[12:35] <bharath> sacarlson: when I show the error http://pastebin.com/nxFTAuM4 to someone, they said "Your python install is broken. You should fix it."
[12:35] <sacarlson> bharath: so I assume you removed this one ppa.launchpad.net_murrine- ?
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> SnipeMeNot  i'm not familiar with it myself, alway be careful when changing something dude!
[12:35] <SnipeMeNot> Yup yup
[12:36] <SnipeMeNot> I saw it

[12:36] <chux> hello, i can't make my external microphone work on my 11.10 ubuntu (the internal one does work)
[12:37] <bharath> sacarlson: Yes I have done it
[12:37] <sacarlson> bharath: oh this is not a package install this is a compile with a missing dependancy not the same problem as the above you noted
[12:37] <chux> how could i make a diagnostic of the problem ?
[12:38] <MonkeyDust> chux  in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M
[12:38] <sattu94> SnipeMeNot, you need to edit the grub files with superuser privileges..
[12:38] <corpsicle> hello
[12:38] <SnipeMeNot> Yes sir
[12:38] <sattu94> Snicksie, You have to be root, use gk/sudo
[12:38] <bharath> sacarlson: Is that not  a problem because of ppa?
[12:38] <SnipeMeNot> I did that once but i forgot how ill jst google it
[12:38] <sacarlson> bharath: so what ubuntu version are you running from?  does it support python 3.X
[12:39] <sattu94> Snicksie, sudo <text_editor> filename
[12:39] <corpsicle> for some reason i cannot install vboxaddons the normal way, so im using apt-get in ubuntu to do it, are there any drawbacks with that method ?
[12:39] <bharath> sacarlson: I am using ubuntu 10.10
[12:39] <chux> MonkeyDust no i dont see MM

[12:40] <MonkeyDust> corpsicle  i had that issue with vbox guest additions - I downloaded and renamed the package, then linked it to the appropriate folder - maybe this helps you in your search
[12:41] <sattu94> Geronimo__, do not flood. use a pste site.
[12:41] <sacarlson> bharath: so what version of python is installed on 10.10?
[12:41] <sattu94> !flood | Geronimo__
[12:41] <chux> MonkeyDust isnt pulseaudio at the root of ubuntu sound management ?
[12:41] <bharath> sacarlson: I think I have both python 2.6 and 2.7
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> chux  i use alsamixer
[12:42] <sacarlson> bharath: maybe I should focus on the prime objective,  what is it we want to run in the end?
[12:42] <fanzhen> does anyone upgrade to 12.04?
[12:43] <Geronimo__> someone help me
[12:43] <chux> Monkeydust hey doesnt see any capture component
[12:43] <sacarlson> bharath: ok did you install the python * -dev package?
[12:43] <sattu94> Geronimo__, What exactly happens ?
[12:43] <Geronimo__> my webcam not work
[12:44] <bharath> sacarlson: no
[12:44] <sattu94> Geronimo__, We got that, I asked what _EXACTLY_ happens.
[12:44] <Geronimo__> look above and the result of lsusb
[12:44] <sattu94> lsusb tells me that your webcam is connected.
[12:45] <sacarlson> bharath: well rule number 1 when trying to compile stuf you need the *-dev of the applications used in the code
[12:45] <sattu94> Geronimo__, if it is from Qcom.
[12:45] <sattu94> Geronimo__, nothing else.
[12:45] <sacarlson> bharath: I should say of the libs needed in the code being compiled
[12:45] <Geronimo__> yes , what is it ?
[12:45] <Geronimo__> nothing else
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> !details| Geronimo__
[12:46] <sattu94> MonkeyDust, thank you. :)
[12:46] <Geronimo__> I isntall cheesse  and not work
[12:46] <Geronimo__> crash cheese
[12:47] <sacarlson> bharath:  rule number 2 never compile if there is any other way to get the application you want to run in some other way with ppa or ?
[12:47] <Geronimo__> would be drivers ?
[12:47] <SnipeMeNot> Editing grub in order to fix my touchpad didt work
[12:47] <L3top> cheese will use almost anything. If cheese is crashing, you have some sort of issue. Is this cam known to work on anything else?
[12:48] <Geronimo__> good question L3top
[12:49] <Geronimo__> worked but stop
[12:49] <Geronimo__> I think that it bad
[12:49] <bharath> sacarlson: I installed python2.7 -dev
[12:50] <L3top> What sort of hardware are you running it on? What graphics chipset etc
[12:50] <sacarlson> bharath: and the result of that being?
[12:50] <L3top> what drivers for what graphics card
[12:50] <bharath> sacarlson: thankgod it is not showing that error now
[12:51] <sacarlson> bharath: all this just for a custom build of mozilla ?
[12:51] <SnipeMeNot> Guys
[12:52] <bharath> sacarlson: yes
[12:52] <SnipeMeNot> This is the only prob i have left and i googled a bunch
[12:52] <sacarlson> bharath: what version might that be?
[12:52] <SnipeMeNot> Saw loads of codes and im afraid i might use the wrong one
[12:52] <SixtyFold> question: what is the most light weight linux distro or lightweight version of ubuntu you can get that is actually supported and as secure?
[12:53] <ayaka|> does emdebian-rootfs in 10.04 support arm neno and eabi?
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> SnipeMeNot  last thing on my mind, then i run dry ;) => gsynaptics
[12:53] <bharath> sacarlson: it's for development purpose
[12:53] <SnipeMeNot> Ayt man
[12:53] <SnipeMeNot> Opps
[12:53] <SixtyFold> that has a GUI of course, it can be the ugliest GUI ever, just as long as it works
[12:53] <SnipeMeNot> I have already and configured the settigs
[12:53] <SnipeMeNot> Ill just reboot
[12:53] <SnipeMeNot> And see what happens
[12:53] <sacarlson> bharath: ok have fun
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> "the windows trick"
[12:53] <SnipeMeNot> Oh its working
[12:53] <bharath> sacarlson:  thanks a lot
[12:53] <SnipeMeNot> But scrolling on its own
[12:54] <SnipeMeNot> MonkeyDust: Its fine now
[12:54] <SnipeMeNot> Thank u so much
[12:54] <oVo> another question: any one using ubuntu 11.10/11.04?

[12:55] <SixtyFold> im using lubuntu 11.04
[12:55] <SixtyFold> but not gnome with ubuntu 11.04
[12:55] <krambiorix> hi guys, i took a look at ubuntu 12.04... Am i the only one that thinks they are messing up the graphical interface?
[12:56] <SixtyFold> dont use gnome3 then
[12:56] <SixtyFold> go to LXDE
[12:56] <SixtyFold> or even KDE
[12:56] <SnipeMeNot> Uhm
[12:56] <SnipeMeNot> Does ubuntu comes with grub or grub2?
[12:57] <Pici> SnipeMeNot: grub2.
[12:57] <SixtyFold> grub2 i believe, correct me someone if im wrong
[12:57] <ayaka> does emdebian-rootfs in 10.04 support arm neno and eabi?
[12:57] <Geronimo__> how webcam stop unexpected ?
[12:57] <SnipeMeNot> Alright Pici
[12:57] <SnipeMeNot> Thanks
[12:57] <krambiorix> SixtyFold, i don't like KDE
[12:57] <SixtyFold> yah, i dont like KDE either
[12:57] <SixtyFold> im using LXDE
[12:57] <SixtyFold> lubuntu
[12:58] <krambiorix> Sixmsj, LXDE isn't nice imho
[12:58] <SixtyFold> its an official ubuntu distro now too
[12:58] <SixtyFold> if you dont want flash and just want something very light LXDE is good
[12:58] <SixtyFold> and i dont mean adobe flash
[12:58] <SixtyFold> i mean, like glitter

[12:59] <L3top> Geronimo__: What sort of graphics hardware/drivers are you using?
[12:59] <SixtyFold> im trying to find something even lighter though tbh
[12:59] <krambiorix> SixtyFold, it's just a pitty that gnome is going that way
[12:59] <SixtyFold> yah, it is krambiorix
[12:59] <krambiorix> SixtyFold, why lighter?
[13:00] <Noxville> !ipod
[13:00] <SixtyFold> i will admit, there are certain things in gnome3 i appreciate, but the actual design is god awful looking and organized
[13:00] <Geronimo__> I don't know my friend L3top
[13:00] <SixtyFold> krambiorix: i like to run a lot of VMs
[13:00] <Geronimo__> how I know ?
[13:00] <SixtyFold> and so lighter the better
[13:00] <L3top> Geronimo__: lspci | grep VGA
[13:00] <krambiorix> SixtyFold, VMs with windows?
[13:00] <krambiorix> :p
[13:01] <SixtyFold> i dont like waiting an hour for my computer to do what i like
[13:01] <Noxville> iPod Touch 4G in ubuntu 11.04 : possible?
[13:01] <SnipeMeNot> Does anyone use super boot manager? Is it safe?
[13:01] <SixtyFold> VMs with win7 and on top of 11.04
[13:01] <scotty^> SixtyFold - I've never used Fluxbox or Blackbox or IceWM but I've heard that they are very light.
[13:01] <SixtyFold> scotty^: i havent tried those yet either
[13:01] <krambiorix> SixtyFold, what if i don't upgrade gnome but ubuntu, what would change then?
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> SixtyFold  there's also jwm, very basic and very light
[13:02] <Geronimo__> Intel mobile 4

[13:18] <SixtyFold> it seems DSL isnt actively developed anymore, to be honest, if anyone has a suggestion for a distro that would run very very fast on what would end up being a X2 4400 with 2gb of 667 ram?

[13:18] <SixtyFold> i feel like lubuntu actually might do well with that machine, but if i can kill overhead even more id love to
[13:18] <scotty^> SixtyFold - Maybe compile the bits you want yourself?
[13:19] <ayaka> crizzy thank you
[13:19] <SixtyFold> scotty^: like start from the cli and add the gui myself?
[13:19] <sacarlson> corpsicle: oh and it only works after the package is installed
[13:19] <scotty^> yeah
[13:19] <corpsicle> sacarlson: it is installed =/
[13:19] <SixtyFold> i have an arch 64 bit VM 90% complete doing that
[13:19] <scotty^> OK
[13:19] <SixtyFold> im having some issues after loading the desktop manager but im teaching myself that yah
[13:19] <ayaka> does emdebian in 10.04 support arm neno, or there is another good toolchain
[13:20] <cespinal> guise
[13:20] <SixtyFold> thanks for the suggestion, thats something im definitely working on atm
[13:20] <cespinal> guise
[13:20] <sacarlson> corpsicle: so you search in synaptic and no virtualbox?  after install?  maybe you didn't install with packages?
[13:20] <corpsicle> i find virtualbox, but not the addon iso
[13:20] <corpsicle> i can see it with apt-cache search
[13:20] <SnipeMeNot> SixtyFold: Where should i install grub sda or sdb
[13:20] <SixtyFold> sda i think, correct me if im wrong anyone
[13:20] <sacarlson> corpsicle: oh I thought that was another package not all in one
[13:21] <SnipeMeNot> Alright i have faith in you
[13:21] <SnipeMeNot> :)
[13:21] <sacarlson> corpsicle: but you installed all of them?
[13:21] <SixtyFold> hehe tnks ;)
[13:21] <cespinal> does anybody know when Rekonq 0.9 will be pushed in?
[13:21] <corpsicle> no i installed the one called virtualbox-guest-additions
[13:22] <corpsicle> and the iso was apparently installed along with it
[13:22] <corpsicle> at least it is installed
[13:22] <tumppu> you have to "mount" it on virtualbox
[13:22] <SnipeMeNot> I dont like vb :(
[13:22] <SixtyFold> i love virtualbox
[13:22] <SixtyFold> i used it constantly
[13:22] <SixtyFold> hehe
[13:22] <fanzhen> love kvm
[13:22] <SixtyFold> use*
[13:23] <sacarlson> corpsicle: well if it's a dependancy you will still have to look at that dep in synaptic properties to see where and what files they added
[13:23] <SnipeMeNot> Should i
[13:23] <corpsicle> tumppu: thats what i tried first, and it simply will not run
[13:23] <SnipeMeNot> Disable linux recovery from the boot menu?
[13:24] <SixtyFold> im not sure about that option SnipeMeNot, im not even sure what it is tbh
[13:24] <SnipeMeNot> Alright :)
[13:24] <SixtyFold> brb, breakfast
[13:24] <SnipeMeNot> I guess we cant enter recovery with a command
[13:24] <SnipeMeNot> Ayt
[13:24] <SnipeMeNot> Goodmorning
[13:25] <sacarlson> corpsicle: did you get you repository from oricle  there stuf is better
[13:26] <corpsicle> no i just used regular ubuntu repository

[14:39] <trevor69420> netAction depends on the trackpad used
[14:39] <trevor69420> some trackpads wont do that... due to hardware limitations
[14:39] <trevor69420> but like if u had a macbook pro u could do it with that and some of the newer dells
[14:39] <trevor69420> i had a perl script at one point that sorta did that
[14:40] <trevor69420> it was glitchy tho

[14:42] <trevor69420> netAction, i guess for that model it's new enough that it might work
[14:42] <netAction> trevor69420: What is the keyword I have to search for?
[14:43] <trevor69420> well it's not a package... look on google for turning trackpad into touch screen
[14:43] <trevor69420> it'll translate the cordinates you hit on the trackpad as touch input for ubuntu
[14:45] <netAction> trevor69420: Don't find anything
[14:46] <trevor69420> well i dunno... lol it's not something that's done alot... it's a "hack" so it's gonna take more than 3 seconds of looking

[14:52] <antihc3> chmod +x file  && ./file

[14:55] <wylde> vicium,  what TimR said
[14:55] <vicium> Same thing :(
[14:56] <JackDacks> Hello guys. Are you using Twitter? I am looking for accounts owned by stupid people.
[14:56] <minixvbox> vicium: are you runing 64bit?
[14:56] <bazhang> !ot | JackDacks
[14:56] <vicium> Yes on an ECS template 11.04
[14:56] <ikonia> JackDacks: well, you've not done your self asking this in an ubuntu technical support channel
[14:57] <minixvbox> vicium: what does: file ./blah say?
[14:57] <vicium> $ hldsupdatetool.bin ./blah
[14:57] <vicium> -sh: hldsupdatetool.bin: not found
[14:57] <minixvbox> vicium: no, file ./hld....
[14:58] <vicium> :P
[14:58] <vicium> not found
[14:58] <AcidRain> wtf...
[14:58] <minixvbox> vicium: what are you typing?
[14:59] <AcidRain> huge issue with my ftp server. it all of a sudden will not let users download files that is in a folder that they have access to. how to fix?
[14:59] <geirha> vicium: ''file hldsupdatetool.bin''  file is a command that tells you the filetype of a file.
[14:59] <minixvbox> geirha: thanks
[14:59] <vicium> hldsupdatetool.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[14:59] <vicium> $
[14:59] <wylde> vicium, is your current logged in user the "owner" of the file?
[14:59] <minixvbox> vicium: there you go, you are trying to run 32 bit binary on 64 bit
[14:59] <vicium> Yes, well I did the -wget of it
[15:00] <minixvbox> vicium: do you have the 32bit libriries installed too?
[15:00] <Oer> minixvbox, should be not a problem, 11.10 is multi-arch
[15:00] <vicium> Probably not, its 11.04 ECS template not 11.10 though
[15:00] <AcidRain> do i seriously have to give all 10,000 folders the proper permissions?
[15:00] <Oer> vicium, ah, my bad.
[15:00] <geirha> vicium: On a side note, why are you using sh as login shell?
[15:00] <vicium> geirha: I dont know, it was default?
[15:00] <geirha> No, the default is bash
[15:01] <bluefrog> AcidRain, first have a look at the logs to find out why it stopped serving ftp
[15:01] <dime01> irc questoin : Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[15:01] <dime01> what does it mean ?
[15:01] <AcidRain> 550 /Music/10 Years/: No such file or directory
[15:01] <vicium> Sorry ehm, it was default upon the installation of my given elastic cloud server
[15:01] <ikonia> dime01: the guys in #freenode can help you
[15:01] <AcidRain> the file is indeed there
[15:01] <vicium> I havent changed anything atleast
[15:01] <phaidros> is there anything one can do about the unity focussing problems? (e.g. hamster indicator always opens *behind* the frontmost window, 2 firefox windows on different workspaces: most of the time one has sticky focus, even when changed workspace. this leads to accidentially closing tabs, no access to url and search bar ..)
[15:01] <AcidRain> and all users have access to the folder /Music/
[15:01] <tsimpson> !register | dime01
[15:01] <vicium> Are the 32bit libraries a pain to get then?
[15:01] <bluefrog> AcidRain, and if you do the same with a file that does not have any spaces in the name?
[15:02] <dime01> ok thks tsimpson ikonia
[15:02] <minixvbox> AcidRain: enclose any filenames with spaces in them with "what ever"
[15:02] <AcidRain> minixvbox: ... im using firefox as the browser
[15:02] <bennyp> Have a phappyp Purim, every frikkin body
[15:02] <vicium> ia32-libs ?
[15:02] <minixvbox> vicium: yes
[15:03] <AcidRain> 550 /Music/Deftones/: No such file or directory
[15:03] <AcidRain> no spaces
[15:03] <minixvbox> AcidRain: is music under / or is it in /home/username/ ?
[15:03] <bluefrog> AcidRain, the look at the logs. is the daemon started? and so on
[15:03] <geirha> AcidRain: you really have a directory named "550 " (including the space)?
[15:03] <bluefrog> geirha, 550 error code
[15:03] <AcidRain> minixvbox: /MUSIC/ is in an external drive named Server2
[15:04] <shaneo> hey guys i keep getting this error any suggestions Error loading MediaInfo library: Unable to load library 'mediainfo': libmediainfo.so: cannot open shared object file: Too many levels of symbolic links
[15:04] <bluefrog> AcidRain, is it mounted?
[15:04] <AcidRain> bluefrog: yes
[15:04] <bluefrog> AcidRain, with what permissions?
[15:04] <AcidRain> bluefrog: well im using proftpd, permissions isnt an issue, because it ignores them
[15:04] <minixvbox> AcidRain: where have you mounted it?
[15:05] <JackDacks> shaneo, the external injection is behind c++ where as C sharp is usually sharper than a plus sign. Obviously
[15:05] <vicium> Worked now guys, with the 32bit libs thanks!
[15:05] <shaneo> JackDacks, ? i think you sent that to the wrong person
[15:05] <JackDacks> vicium, you're welcome
[15:05] <freewayzify> @jacda do u know c++ very well
[15:06] <AcidRain> minixvbox: im not sure where its mounted lol
[15:06] <bluefrog> AcidRain, something that ignore permissions? interesting. I doubt it but why not.
[15:06] <AcidRain> it uses names
[15:06] <JackDacks> AcidRain, I doubt it too, but yeah, why not
[15:06] <Myrtti> JackDacks: if you can't give constructive help and advise, please don't try
[15:06] <minixvbox> AcidRain: what does mount say?
[15:06]  * scriptwarlock think JackDacks is a robot
[15:07] <ikonia> scriptwarlock: just use ignore
[15:07] <freewayzify> ikonia: pls help

(e.g. hamster indicator always opens *behind* the frontmost window, 2 firefox windows on different workspaces: most of the time one has sticky focus, even when changed workspace. this leads to accidentially closing tabs, no access to url and search bar ..)
[15:10] <Pici> plouffe: Anything that sane supports should be supported just fine under Ubuntu.

[15:19] <vicium> Hi guys. I managed to update the application and the libs and everything is uptodate. But I sense something is wrong wth this command...
[15:19] <vicium> ./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 20 +map de_aztec > /dev/null 2>&1 &
[15:20] <vicium> I know you guys dont know the exact parameters since its not ubuntu related but
[15:20] <ikonia> then why are you asking
[15:20] <vicium> I dont get prompted anything at all, and what does /dev/null .... mean?
[15:20] <dime01> linuxfreaker, no, to launch it place you in the folder
[15:20] <dime01> you exytac
[15:20] <freewayzify> linuxfreak: do u know how to conneect libre database to  my SQL
[15:20] <ikonia> vicium: it means no-where
[15:20] <ikonia> vicium: all output goes to a black whole
[15:20] <linuxfreaker> dime01: then?
[15:21] <upset> smplman: Aaagh. I feel really silly, but how do I unmount the drive?
[15:21] <ikonia> black hole even
[15:21] <ikonia> oops
[15:21] <vicium> I want it to run in the background but I still want to be able to view it? What's the parameters for that? Use -screen or?
[15:21] <smplman> upset: umount
[15:21] <ikonia> get rid of /dev/null
[15:21] <ikonia> stop piping the output to /dev/null
[15:21] <dime01> linuxfreaker, you should have a something like eclipse-java or eclipse in your folder
[15:22] <dime01> linuxfreaker : isn't it ?
[15:22] <Adriannom> if i plug in a usb drive it appears in the sidebar of file manager for only a millisecond before disappearing again.  kern.log says "Attached SCSI removable disk", and shows no errors.  xubuntu 11.10
[15:22] <linuxfreaker> dime01: yes
[15:22] <Adriannom> any ideas how to fix it?
[15:22] <upset> smplman: Thank you
[15:22] <dime01> linuxfreaker : then in your terminal you just have to type ./eclipse and it will lauch eclipse
[15:23] <smplman> upset: np, ubuntu has a built in usb stick creator if thats what your trying to do
[15:23] <linuxfreaker> dime01: Lemme check
[15:23] <smplman> upset: you just supply the iso and where the flash drive is and it creates a bootable usb stick
[15:23] <dime01> linuxfreaker : Lemme ?
[15:23] <smplman> dime01: let me
[15:24] <dime01> smplman ok thanks
[15:24] <upset> smplman: Tried it, doesn't recognize the Android iso.
[15:24] <MimosakaRyou> u're using unetbootin or what upset?
[15:24] <smplman> upset: ahh yes, forgot your not using an ubuntu image
[15:24] <mikester01> oin #ubuntu+1
[15:25] <upset> smplman: There's something weird about it. I read that it's some kind of 'hybrid cd usb iso' whatever that's supposed to imply
[15:25] <smplman> upset: you booting this on an x86 machine?
[15:25] <upset> smplman: I didn't know there was such a difference
[15:25] <upset> smplman: Um
[15:26] <upset> smplman: I don't know... I just know that ice cream sandwich is intended for netbooks and laptops.
[15:26] <upset> smplman: All their usb-specific iso's are deprecated, according to their website.
[15:27] <smplman> upset: yea version shouldn't matter, i just need to know if your booting on arm or x86
[15:27] <upset> smplman: I'm not sure why, but I'm having trouble finding recent linux-specific instructions for writing the live usb.
[15:27] <upset> smplman: Oh, definitely not ARM
[15:28] <linuxfreaker> Does this mean 64 bit JVM?
[15:28] <linuxfreaker> OpenJDK Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)
[15:28] <smplman> upset: linux and android operate differently, different kernels usually also
[15:28] <smplman> upset: check this out http://code.google.com/p/live-android/wiki/howtouse
[15:29] <dr_willis> upset:  tools at the pendrivelinux site. or use dd or cat to image a 11.10+ iso to usb
[15:29] <MimosakaRyou> btw ,anyone have been experiencing any keyboard lag on ubuntu lucid?
[15:29] <upset> smplman: I've been. It's not referring to the latest iso, and I didn't understand where it thought it was writing to since /dev/sdcX/ is never mentioned
[15:29] <freewayzify> am bac pals
[15:29] <Joneeetux> I was really hoping someone might be able to tell me how I can backup my old kernels (I am 10.04, dual boot). ?
[15:30] <upset> smplman: My iso has some name like android-x86-4.0blahsomething.iso
[15:30] <dr_willis> upset:  to image to a flash it would be like sde  not sde1  most likrly
[15:30] <smplman> upset: my guess would be burn the cd or dvd and try to boot it
[15:30] <freewayzify> please pals any ideal on using libre office to connect to mySQL server
[15:30] <smplman> upset: then try the usb image
[15:31] <freewayzify> libreoffice base to mySQL server
[15:31] <upset> dr_willis: I did dd, and it LOOKED like it worked
[15:31] <freewayzify> dr_wll: any ideal
[15:31] <upset> smplman: I'm on a netbook. I can't use cds
[15:31] <jordan4ibanez> well hello
[15:31] <freewayzify> jordan what up
[15:31] <smplman> upset: makes sense
[15:32] <jordan4ibanez> nothing much
[15:32] <erujolc> will there an easy upgrade path from beta 1 to release/final?
[15:32] <jordan4ibanez> do you guys know of any video editors?
[15:32] <freewayzify> jordan: ideo editor
[15:32] <freewayzify> jordan: video editor
[15:32] <upset> smplman: Woah. There's a lost+found folder that requires root permission to access.
[15:32] <Joneeetux> I really want to back them up, because my hw is have some trouble with the neweer kernels.
[15:32] <smplman> upset: thats usually an OSX thing
[15:32] <jordan4ibanez> yes..any good ones
[15:33] <trevor69420> jordan4ibanez, Open Movie Editor
[15:33] <bazhang> !final | erujolc
[15:33] <jordan4ibanez> kdenlive and openshot are pretty crappy
[15:33] <jordan4ibanez> open movie editor? :D
[15:33] <upset> smplman: I mean, we're both unixey
[15:33] <bazhang> trevor69420, you mean openshot ?
[15:33] <trevor69420> jordan4ibanez, http://www.openmovieeditor.org/
[15:33] <dr_willis> upset:  if you used sde1 unstead of sde it may not boot
[15:33] <trevor69420> no i mean open movie editor
[15:33] <freewayzify> jordan: what for
[15:33] <upset> smplman: Also I don't have permission to rename it. Have to try from bash
[15:33] <jordan4ibanez> so how does this compare to camtasia? i mean for editing?
[15:33] <Joneeetux> Is there a way to backup my ld kernels??
[15:33] <trevor69420> have no clue
[15:33] <upset> dr_willis: But it wrote to the drive that way, and that's the address
[15:34] <trevor69420> compares to Final Cut pretty well
[15:34] <smplman> upset: try using sudo to make the changes
[15:34] <bazhang> freewayzify, #libreoffice
[15:34] <smplman> upset: try copying the image using dd http://muhdzamri.blogspot.com/2011/01/easiest-way-to-burn-iso-to-usb-disk.html
[15:34] <freewayzify> bazhang pls any clue on ubuntu database
[15:34] <dr_willis> upset:  i used dd on my netbook to get andriid iso working last week
[15:34] <erujolc> bazhang, was this support (beta to official release) without issues with 10.04 or are you just requoting canoncial's world?
[15:34] <upset> smplman: I deleted the folder as root, but I still can't rename it
[15:34] <jordan4ibanez> wow how old is this video editor?

[15:34] <trevor69420> jordan4ibanez, dunno didnt write it
[15:34] <upset> smplman: I did that exact thing
[15:35] <trevor69420> jordan4ibanez, why?
[15:35] <bazhang> AminosAmigos, dont do that here
[15:35] <smplman> upset: if you deleted the folder how are you trying to rename it?>
[15:35] <bazhang> erujolc, you have what installed now?
[15:35] <jordan4ibanez> because i am 313hummer on youtube ..and am trying to get back to linux for video editing
[15:35] <upset> smplman: I had the folder open at the same time, and all the files were freaky corrupted looking when I ran dd
[15:35] <upset> smplman: the folder lost+found contained within the drive?
[15:35] <AminosAmigos> i am sorry @bazhang a mistake :)
[15:35] <erujolc> debian6 and archlinux
[15:35] <jordan4ibanez> but video editing kind of sucks ..and nova cut is a ghost project
[15:35] <upset> smplman: I'm not following
[15:36] <smplman> upset: ubuntu is probably automounting your usb stick
[15:36] <trevor69420> jordan4ibanez, why does the age of it matter? are you looking for a particular feature??
[15:36] <bazhang> erujolc, and you plan to install the beta?
[15:36] <smplman> upset: umout whats in /media/ then try the dd again
[15:36] <Joneeetux> I will try back later--things are busy right now.  Cheers!
[15:36] <jordan4ibanez> umm ...fading volume and video
[15:36] <erujolc> yes
[15:36] <jordan4ibanez> something that renders in hd
[15:36] <bazhang> erujolc, then yes, that will do it as the factoid suggests
[15:37] <freewayzify> dr_ wll: u there
[15:37] <upset> smplman: Oooh, so no dd if it's still mounted?
[15:38] <bazhang> freewayzify, what is your issue, ask the channel; dont target users
[15:38] <smplman> upset: correct, connected but not mounted, run sudo fdisk -l to get the correct drive
[15:38] <upset> smplman: Okay. Geez, I wish they had mentioned that. Not everybody is super smart.
[15:38] <smplman> upset: i have tried and failed at this many times, with both usb and sd drives
[15:39] <trevor69420> jordan4ibanez, i'm not a video editor so i dont really know how they compare, but you can do a simple google search and find a list of open source video editors for linux and compare features there
[15:39] <trevor69420> jordan4ibanez, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software
[15:39] <jordan4ibanez> i did..most lists are outdated..novacut isnt even in the lists
[15:39] <upset> smplman: I'm you've let me draw on your experience.
[15:39] <minixvbox> jordan4ibanez: i like openshot
[15:40] <upset> smplman: Er, is there a nautilus way to rename this thing?
[15:40] <jordan4ibanez> hmmm
[15:40] <jordan4ibanez> well do you guys know any good video recorder
[15:40] <smplman> upset: the partition names or that folder?
[15:41] <upset> smplman: Um, the usb device....? Also, why fdisk -l? Do you have reason to think that /dev/sdc1/ is wrong?
[15:41] <freewayzify> how to install zlib
[15:41] <smplman> upset: just to verify the drive name, sometimes they change when hotplugging
[15:42] <upset> smplman: Okay. But, uh, fudge, it says it doesn't have a valid partition table
[15:42] <bazhang> freewayzify, what are you trying to do, explain
[15:42] <smplman> upset: what ever is on the drive shouldn't matter, dd will overwrite everyhting
[15:42] <bindi> hey, can anyone recommend me a CLI program that will scroll through a text file slowly?
[15:42] <bindi> from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.. and it keeps going
[15:42] <upset> smplman: There's nothing on the drive. That's not what I'm asking. The whole usb has a crazy name.
[15:43] <freewayzify> try to make compile a file
[15:43] <bazhang> freewayzify, compile what
[15:43] <smplman> upset: yea you probably just need to format the drive fat32 and then let the image take over from there
[15:44] <freewayzify> to install kmplayer
[15:44] <upset> smplman: Ew, fat32? I put it to ext3, or tried to via mkfs.
[15:44] <bazhang> freewayzify, no need to compile that.
[15:44] <bazhang> freewayzify, it's in the u buntu software repos
[15:44] <freewayzify> so what should i do
[15:45] <freewayzify> but i telling me no zlib install
[15:45] <smplman> upset: most boot partitions are fat and the filesystems are ext
[15:45] <freewayzify> but it telling me no zlib install
[15:45] <minixvbox> !software | freewayzify
[15:45] <smplman> upset: im not sure if dd will create the partitions for you or you have to do it yourself
[15:45] <upset> smplman: Oh. Well, it's still weird. mkfs looked like it worked
[15:45] <Adriannom> if i plug in a usb drive it appears in the sidebar of file manager for only a millisecond before disappearing again.  syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/874707/ - xubuntu 11.10.  other usb drives do the same.  they work fine on other machines.  tried all usb ports.  mount manually WORKS FINE.  any ideas what's going wrong?
[15:45] <bazhang> freewayzify, what command did you give, and what is the error you got. paste.ubuntu.com with the exact errors and commands used
[15:46] <upset> smplman: This is getting really messy. I'd just like to get it to a clean, usable state.
[15:46] <julian_> 195842
[15:46] <freewayzify> first ./compile
[15:46] <smplman> upset: then format it with fat and start from there
[15:46] <freewayzify> sucess after that
[15:46] <bazhang> freewayzify, kmplayer is in the ubuntu repos. sudo apt-get install kmplayer
[15:46] <upset> smplman: Alright. brb
[15:47] <freewayzify> tried from there but it not working

[15:48] <muss> Hello there
[15:48] <bazhang> freewayzify, I told you to pastebin multiple times
[15:49] <minixvbox> freewayzify: you were told to pastebin
[15:49] <freewayzify> yayayayayayaya
[15:49] <bazhang> freewayzify, pardon?
[15:49] <muss> How inaproppiate would it be for me to ask some beginner questions about some basic terminal commands?
[15:49] <freewayzify> where is the pastebin
[15:49] <vicium> How do I shut a -screen process window down?
[15:49] <muss> pastebin.com
[15:50] <waxstone> muss: #bash
[15:50] <minixvbox> muss: you can ask in #bash too
[15:50] <muss> Thanks
[15:50] <bazhang> muss if someone knows they will answer
[15:50] <muss> Hope you won't mind if I try in here first(mind that I did some quite extensive googling beforehand)
[15:50] <vicium> Example. I have 2 screens up. one is @ screen -x 901, but its a crashed screen, how do I shut it down from the outside?
[15:51] <SnipeMeNot> Sup guys
[15:51] <bazhang> LameIrcTest, hi
[15:51] <julian_> hi
[15:51] <julian_> how are you?
[15:51] <SnipeMeNot> Me?
[15:51] <upset> smplman: Wonderful, it has been reborn
[15:51] <julian_> yep
[15:51] <SnipeMeNot> Not good :) u?
[15:51] <upset> We havin' a lovely conversation now?
[15:51] <smplman> upset: nice, im glad that worked for you
[15:51] <sacarlson> vicium: killall appname  I guess
[15:51] <julian_> I am fine
[15:51] <vicium> But then i'd kill the other one aswell :(
[15:51] <zamba> how can i get notified that there are new upgrades available for my ubuntu server system?
[15:51] <SnipeMeNot> :)
[15:51] <vicium> They're both the same process/exec
[15:52] <upset> smplman: Me too. Thanks for helping me!
[15:52] <muss> How can I view file content with a custom page division?
[15:52] <zamba> i see them when i log in, but it would be nice to get an email notification
[15:52] <vicium> But one is the correct one running, the other is a double that cant launch since its already launched in another :P
[15:52] <julian_> how old are you?
[15:52] <smplman> upset: my guess is the dd command you are using, ones i have seen some that have extra parameters on the end
[15:52] <bazhang> julian_, this is ubuntu support
[15:52] <SnipeMeNot> Lol
[15:52] <freewayzify> please julian on ubuntu topic pls
[15:52] <julian_> sorry
[15:52] <julian_> ok

[15:52] <SnipeMeNot> Anyone tried making cloud?
[15:52] <_Marcus> Makeing cloud?
[15:52] <SnipeMeNot> ~_~
[15:53] <upset> smplman: I'll have to hunt for it. Thanks for letting me know.
[15:53] <bazhang> SnipeMeNot, explain
[15:53] <sacarlson> vicium: if the other is in the same app I would assume it has also crashed
[15:53] <waxstone> !ot
[15:53] <SnipeMeNot> Yup like connecting icloud to linux
[15:53] <SnipeMeNot> And have ulimited storage
[15:53] <bazhang> SnipeMeNot, what is icloud
[15:53] <smplman> upset: another idea, extract the ISO and manually copy it to the thumbdrive
[15:53] <SnipeMeNot> Its a backup utility for idevices
[15:53] <Kaapa> guys, how do I add another java version to the alteratives' list?
[15:53] <orated> Hello! Like how there exists speaker-test command to test sound, is there similar utility to check LED monitor?
[15:53] <Kaapa> just uncompress to that dir is enough?
[15:53] <smplman> upset: should be two partitions on the drive when you are done
[15:53] <sacarlson> vicium: or maybe kill procnumber  if we could find out what the screen app proc number was

[15:54] <upset> smplman: Eeeh, I'm not sure I'm adventurous enough. I'll consider it.
[15:54] <races1986> Hi
[15:54] <vicium> 873 is the one running. 901 the crashed. 873 is fully working and connectable too.
[15:54] <_Marcus> Hello, races1986

[15:54] <races1986> what client do you guys recommend?
[15:54] <sacarlson> vicium: kill 901
[15:54] <bazhang> kelvinella, of course not
[15:55] <_Marcus> races1986: This is Ubuntu support chat. Ask #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:55] <smplman> kelvinella: depends on what caused the kernel panic
[15:55] <_Marcus> !ot | races1986
[15:55] <vicium> Oh, lol. Thanks :)
[15:55] <SnipeMeNot> can seone tell me what to do with my ubuntu

[15:57] <kelvinella> i should give it a shot
[15:57] <SnipeMeNot> Whoa what
[15:57] <SnipeMeNot> sacarlson: Please explain further
[15:57] <sacarlson> SnipeMeNot: turn it into a pen if you are a writer
[15:58] <smplman> SnipeMeNot: build an automatic fish feeder for your fish tank
[15:58] <SnipeMeNot> Ah thought u mentioned something about turning it into a tablet
[15:58] <aaGp> excuse me guys, how can I do su command in the terminal, because I need admin permission to run some application ??
[15:58] <abaddonSatanic> sudo su
[15:58] <Myrtti> aaGp: use sudo command
[15:58] <sacarlson> SnipeMeNot: the point make it whatever you want it to be
[15:58] <SnipeMeNot> smplman: My fish just passed
[15:58] <Myrtti> abaddonSatanic: nope, that's the wrong way
[15:58] <bazhang> abaddonSatanic, thats not correct
[15:58] <smplman> SnipeMeNot: sry to hear that
[15:58] <SnipeMeNot> Ayt ill try it
[15:58] <SnipeMeNot> smplman: No worries
[15:58] <abaddonSatanic> odd to me it works
[15:59] <minixvbox> !wfm | abaddonSatanic
[15:59] <aaGp> Myrti: but I did, but it says su: Fallo de autenticación = Auth failed
[15:59] <sacarlson> smplman: I did make it water my plants when they got thirsty
[16:00] <smplman> sacarlson: auto top off on the resivour?
[16:00] <sacarlson> smplman: messured resistivity of the soil and turned on water pumps when needed
[16:00] <aaGp> Myrtti: I did, but it says su: Fallo de autenticación = Auth failed
[16:01] <smplman> sacarlson: impressive, i wanted to build an auto nute mixer. Measure ppm, ph, npk and such
[16:01] <sacarlson> smplman: they have those, I don't have one
[16:01] <charles___> does anyone know how i can return the currently playing song from totem movie player (ubuntu) with, say, a perl script?
[16:02] <Myrtti> aaGp: mm
[16:03] <abaddonSatanic> oke then how do you change to su in ubuntu the right way ?
[16:04] <bazhang> abaddonSatanic, you dont
[16:04] <iceroot> abaddonSatanic: sudo command
[16:04] <iceroot> !sudo | abaddonSatanic
[16:04] <abaddonSatanic> and if i need to stay as superuser in terminal ?
[16:05] <bazhang> abaddonSatanic, sudo -i
[16:05] <_ruben> sudo -i
[16:05] <iceroot> abaddonSatanic: there is no need to stay as root
[16:05] <StepNjump> Has anyone ever heard of magnetic mouse apt?
[16:05] <iceroot> !anyone | StepNjump
[16:05] <sacarlson> charles___: return what reset and replay?  return the name?
[16:05] <sacarlson> charles___: if it's what's playing from a script I know how with vlc  it has an API for that
[16:05] <bazhang> StepNjump, hardware?
[16:06] <sacarlson> charles___: totem might also work with mpris that is the standard media player api here is an example script that uses parts of it https://github.com/sacarlson/GenPlayList
[16:07] <pangur> I have a wubi dual-boot installation from windows 7.  My machine has plenty of space available but recently I have been getting a message saying that I have about 1Gb left.  Is there a way I can increase the space for the wubi installation without losing everything?
[16:07] <StepNjump> No bazhang I think it's an apt that allows to drag and drop without having to hold the left button down as you move
[16:07] <charles___> vlc sounds good. that's something i have yet to install
[16:07] <StepNjump> iceroot I know, I know.....
[16:08] <bazhang> StepNjump, you mean app?
[16:08] <minixvbox> charles___: vlc is indeed awesome
[16:08] <StepNjump> bazhang: I checked synaptics and googled for it.. Can't find anything.. Was suggested that app by another guy
[16:08] <StepNjump> yes app baz
[16:08] <StepNjump> yes app bazhang
[16:08] <sacarlson> charles___: I think you may want to look into mpris it works with most media players and there are examples in python also
[16:08] <aaGp> look, I'am trying to run UnrealIRCd, but when I hit ./unreal to start it it says: You don't have permission access, something like that, thing that I have to execute it with su command, how can I do that?..
[16:09] <_Marcus> aaGp: Use chmod so you dont have to run it as root.
[16:09] <smplman> aaGp: sudo ./unreal
[16:09] <ikonia> aaGp: should you really be trying to run an IRC server if you are not at the level you can run a binary ?
[16:09] <sacarlson> aaGp: sudo ./unreal
[16:09] <ikonia> aaGp: an IRC server is open for lots of abuse/exploit/attack unless you are confident with what you are doing
[16:09] <crashanddie> ikonia, what's the worst that could happen? Nobody will be able to connect through his router anyway.
[16:10] <ikonia> crashanddie: or it could be attacked and his network DOSed
[16:10] <crashanddie> Right.
[16:10] <ikonia> or his machine compromised as he's running it as root
[16:10] <aaGp> thanks for the advice
[16:10] <smplman> crashanddie: depends on his network
[16:10] <crashanddie> As if DoS might depend on what software runs on your machine...
[16:10] <crashanddie> Djeez.
[16:11] <aaGp> aagp@aaGp:~/Unreal3.2$ sudo ./unreal
[16:11] <aaGp> [sudo] password for aagp:
[16:11] <aaGp> sudokode: ./unreal: command not found
[16:11] <sacarlson> ikonia: aaGp: then teach them about chroot
[16:11] <charles___> what is 'mpris'?
[16:11] <aaGp> that is what it shows..
[16:11] <aaGp> :S
[16:12] <sacarlson> charles___: http://www.mpris.org/2.1/spec/
[16:12] <upset> dr_willis: Dr. Willis, paging Dr. Willis
[16:13] <sacarlson> aaGp: I guess you ./unreal is not installed or your not at present in the correct directory to run it
[16:13] <minixvbox> upset: anythink we can help with? or do you need dr_willis specifically
[16:14] <aaGp> actually I did it wrong it runs with ./unreal start
[16:14] <smplman> aaGp: or its not an executable
[16:14] <aaGp> but I try putting sudo ./unreal start
[16:14] <aaGp> but it says the same thing :S
[16:14] <pangur> Is there a way of increasing the size of a wubi installation please?
[16:14] <sacarlson> aaGp: if it runs without sudo best not to run it in sudo mode
[16:14] <upset> minixvbox: Oh, thanks, I just wanted to ask him about something he did with Android.
[16:15] <upset> minixvbox: He's obviously not here, though, so I'll go
[16:15] <upset> Later y'all
[16:15] <bazhang> pangur, yes. check the wubiguide
[16:15] <bazhang> !wubi | pangur
[16:15] <aaGp> has to be on sudo mode, I had it running on Mandriva, but since I decide to install Ubuntu on my laptop I can't run it.
[16:16] <crashanddie> aaGp, let me guess, you downloaded it from the website?
[16:16] <pangur> Do you think that it is a bug that, bazhang, that I am running out of space?
[16:17] <pangur> I do not know whether to report it is a bug if it is not one.
[16:17] <minixvbox> pangur: how is running ut of space a bug?
[16:17] <linuxfreaker> I have a brand new CentOS 6 server that I need Asterisk setup on.  it should receive calls on a SIP account, play a audio message that prompts a user to press numbers 1,2,3 or 4 and depending on what number the call should be connected to a phone number over a SIP account,
[16:17] <aaGp> crashanddie: yes, like I said I had it running on Mandriva thought
[16:17] <crashanddie> aaGp, did you compile it?
[16:17] <pangur> It keeps telling me that I have about 1GB left when I have a couple of hundred GB on my machine.
[16:17] <bazhang> pangur, not really no.
[16:17] <tsimpson> aaGp: make sure the file is executable
[16:18] <linuxfreaker> Customer Calls  [obscured]   (SIP account) Asterisk picks up the call Asterisk plays the user the prompt message audio file. Customer presses the number 3. Asterisk dials  [obscured]   on the SIP account. Asterisk immediately connects the two calls.  At the moment regardless if the customer presses the number 1,2,3 or 4 it will go to the same number, however later on this may change
[16:18] <bazhang> pangur, check the guide on how to resize it
[16:18] <crashanddie> aaGp, what you downloaded is a source distribution. You need to ./autogen.sh && make.
[16:18] <crashanddie> actually, make that ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
[16:18] <bazhang> linuxfreaker, #centos
[16:18] <pangur> Thanks bazhang.  Is it likely to be the sort of thing that I could sort with some kind of partion manager?
[16:19] <bazhang> pangur, honestly, better to get a real dual boot
[16:19] <crashanddie> linuxfreaker, PM me. I'm a VoIP software engineer. Not much experience with Asterisk, but how hard can it be.
[16:20] <aaGp> did it already, the thing is when I want to run it, I need root access to run it
[16:20] <Joneeetux> Could anyone help me to know how to backup old kernels?? I want to bakup some...
[16:20] <bazhang> Joneeetux, why would you need to?
[16:20] <PhantomOcelot> Is there a program similar to GPartEd that would allow me to copy a partition? Example:  I am buying a new hard drive, and have no intention of keeping this one, as it is old and less than 100GB.  Is there a way I can just copy this hard drive info to the new hard drive WITHOUT having to do a full install of Ubuntu and lose everything?
[16:21] <bazhang> PhantomOcelot, a clone?
[16:21] <crashanddie> PhantomOcelot, it is probably possible, but I'd hardly recommend it
[16:21] <pangur> Probably, bazhang.  I agree.  However, its a Medion that has touch screen, and will not allow me to increase the number of partitions.  Rather rum arrangement but I do not want to lose the fancy effects on screen when in windows.
[16:21] <smplman> PhantomOcelot: you drive should come with cloning software
[16:21] <crashanddie> PhantomOcelot, you don't need anything outside of /home/$USER.
[16:21] <bazhang> pangur, ok, then check the wubiguide on how to do that
[16:21] <linuxfreaker> crashanddie: ?
[16:22] <tsimpson> aaGp: you don't need root access to run it, I know of no IRC daemon that requires root. if you posted the exact error message, perhaps someone can help you solve that
[16:22] <bazhang> linuxfreaker, thats about centos, it's not supported here
[16:22] <PhantomOcelot> So I could theoretically just copy the /home/ fold in it's entirety and drop it on the new hard drive, and all should work?
[16:22] <linuxfreaker> bazhang: Sorry
[16:22] <bazhang> linuxfreaker, #centos for centos support
[16:22] <linuxfreaker> bazhang: okie
[16:22] <crashanddie> PhantomOcelot, just put both hard drives in the computer, partition the new hard drive, and copy /home/$USER over to the new one, then reinstall your OS of choice onto the new hard drive.
[16:23] <Joneeetux> Is there a way to backup old kernels?
[16:23] <crashanddie> or the other way aroudn
[16:23] <PhantomOcelot> Thanks, crashanddie.
[16:23] <crashanddie> PhantomOcelot, you will still need to install the OS
[16:23] <crashanddie> PhantomOcelot, I'd recommend making a separate partition for /home, but that's just me.
[16:23] <Joneeetux> Can I backup old linux kernels ???
[16:24] <bazhang> Joneeetux, why would you need to
[16:24] <crashanddie> Joneeetux, if someone knows the answer, they will answer. Please don't repeat the same question every 20 seconds. Thanks.
[16:24] <minixvbox> Joneeetux: backup in what way?
[16:24] <Joneeetux> My lappy not like some of the newer
[16:24] <PhantomOcelot> crashanddie, you are likely right, I'll UbuntuONE and such my more important items and just reinstall a new OS
[16:24] <sacarlson> PhantomOcelot: other than like cp -a /eachsource /eachdest  you will also need to install an mbr on the new disk and maybe do some changes of /etc/fstab of the new hdid or /dev/sdX
[16:24] <bazhang> Joneeetux, please respond if you would like assistance instead of just repeating
[16:25] <crashanddie> sacarlson, why would the OS install not take care of that?
[16:25] <Joneeetux> I wish to backup to removable media
[16:25] <PhantomOcelot> Quick and painless, y'know?
[16:25] <bazhang> Joneeetux, yes, and why
[16:25] <sacarlson> crashanddie: oh I thought he just wanted to direct copy the original install
[16:25] <chux> Hello, i get stuck on "port 22 : connexion refused" while trying to connect to a distant machine on which i installed openssh-server
[16:25] <chux> how can i figure out if the firewall is blocking me ?
[16:26] <computer_> Hey all, say I am trying to compile a program on Ubuntu 11.10 that is failing because is can't find "/X11/Xcursor". So having a look around it sure looks like it is gone in 11.10. Is the anyway to put it but just to appease this program?
[16:26] <NOSaturn> how do i set the primary monitor - so that new windows open on the right monitor and not the left? I have an intel graphics ship, so the nvidia tool won't apply
[16:26] <crashanddie> sacarlson, I recommended copying over /home/$USER and simply reinstalling the OS. It'll be easier and less pain than copying and messing with fstab and whatnot (and <shiver> guids)
[16:26] <Joneeetux> my laptop not like some of the newer stuff, and I just wnna know how--I am kinda like Linus from Peanuts comic--I need security-blanket.
[16:26] <bazhang> computer_, whats the package
[16:26] <bazhang> Joneeetux, that does not make sense
[16:26] <sacarlson> crashanddie:  a new install would also require him to install each of the applications he had already custom installed
[16:26] <crashanddie> sacarlson, you can save the package list.
[16:27] <computer_> Ooo: It's /X11/Xcursor/ by the way
[16:27] <sacarlson> crashanddie: I just tried that package list method but it doesn't work for me as some of my stuf running on an old 10.04 no longer exist on 11.10
[16:27] <computer_> bazhang, I am building the game StuntRally
[16:27] <bazhang> computer_, and what is the package you are trying to called
[16:28] <computer_> bazhang, http://code.google.com/p/vdrift-ogre/
[16:28] <eggman2001> hello, just installed ubuntu but I can't seem to "enable wireless" in the menu bar because it's grayed out. any ideas?
[16:28] <Joneeetux> Okay.  I guess perhaps I have not phrased it very well.  I just wanna have a backup of my 2.6.32-32 gen kernel, because that is the one my hardware tolerates the best.
[16:28] <sacarlson> crashanddie: it will take me 2 weeks to upgrade, so if I want to continue to operate on a new disk that's another way to do it
[16:28] <chux> i've set the firewall to share the luv whith anybody on any port, but it still doesnt work
[16:28] <cancer> i was repairing Grub & system hanged (slow) responding. i restarted system & boot menu was there to choose. is it ok?
[16:28] <bazhang> Joneeetux, why not just leave it as is. it hardly takes up any space
[16:28] <computer_> bazhang, It happens at 74% building that
[16:28] <mythos> hello there, i have a customer in alabama and don't know which city represents the timezone for this state. can some help me out here? =)
[16:29] <pangolin> mythos: usually the state capital
[16:29] <mythos> pangolin, hmm ok
[16:29] <pangolin> mythos: also has nothing to do with ubuntu.
[16:29] <mythos> pangolin, it's a ubuntu-server
[16:29] <computer_> bazhang: Is there a new place for the /X11/Xcursor now?
[16:29] <pangolin> mythos: ok well try the capital :)
[16:30] <chux> on wich channel should i ask for help ?
[16:30] <AcidRain> does orca have a gui? :/
[16:30] <Joneeetux> I know.  But I'd really like to understand how I could make a backup-copy of my favorite kernel.  I've googled all morn, but I just can't seem to find the info.
[16:30] <linuxfreaker> Guys, Anyone who can help me install Eclipse Indigo on Ubuntu 10.04.4
[16:30] <linuxfreaker> I downloaded the eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk(1).tar.gz
[16:31] <sacarlson> Joneeetux: maybe just copy the deb file of the linux-image ?
[16:31] <linuxfreaker> cd eclipse
[16:31] <minixvbox> Joneeetux: the kernels don't get removed unless you uninstall them, why do you need a backup?
[16:31] <computer_> bazhang: Hey, what do you know, it has an IRC channel on freenode
[16:31] <linuxfreaker> How shall I install it?
[16:31] <computer_> Shooting over there now to see whats up
[16:32] <mythos> pangolin, no montgomery to select
[16:33] <pangolin> mythos: what choices does it give you?
[16:33] <mythos> pangolin, too much to list it here
[16:33] <linuxfreaker> Anyone who have expereince installing Eclipse Indigo
[16:33] <Joneeetux> copy the deb file:  ok, I check into that.  I'd like to perhaps wipe my hdd linux partition sometime--after I get my newer mach next week...just use this laptop to "experiment"...I want to teach myself to do a successful re-install
[16:33] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  extract it. look in the dir it makes..
[16:33] <pangolin> mythos: select the closest city to the client I guess.
[16:33] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: I can cd to directory..but no idea how to configure or install it
[16:34] <mythos> pangolin, yeah... i'm going to use the graphical installer and then install it with alternative again
[16:34] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  check its homepage for some docs/install guides? or a readme file.
[16:34] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  could be you just run a binary in the dir.
[16:35] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: you mean ./eclipse
[16:35] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  no idea.. is there a eclipse binary? Look and see. I dont use the app.
[16:36] <dr_willis> !eclipse
[16:36] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: There is an eclipse file.But when i run it .eclipse it threw error (eclipse:11263): Gtk-WARNING **: Screen for GtkWindow not set; you must always set a screen for a GtkWindow before using the window
[16:37] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: does it mean I need Desktop version
[16:37] <mythos> pangolin, thank you anyway =)
[16:37] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  desktop version of what?
[16:37] <jeremiah_gatong> Guys how can I trigger Numlock "ON"/"OFF" on bash?
[16:37] <linuxfreaker> Ubuntu 10.04
[16:37] <pangolin> mythos: Birmingham, Mobile, Huntsville, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, & Decatur
[16:37] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  if its a X/gui app.. you need the gui installed...
[16:37] <linuxfreaker> I just installed ubuntu 10.04 server
[16:37] <dr_willis> I dont use eclipse.. no idea if its console/text/ or gui based.
[16:37] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: do u mean I downloaded wrong package
[16:38] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  i dont know what you did..  if its a gui app. you need a desktop installed.
[16:38] <iceroot> linuxfreaker: eclipse needs a x-server
[16:38] <pangolin> mythos: Those are the top 5 populated cities in Alabama. One of them has to be there for you to select.
[16:38] <Joneeetux> I thought someone might know a way to use, say dd, to make copies of my old kernels, and then re-install my favorite one to a different Linux distro.  (I have 4 computers at my disposal, here, by the way:  so i not gonna mess-up my good system).
[16:39] <iceroot> Joneeetux: no need for dd for the kernels
[16:39] <Joneeetux> Oh, okay.
[16:39] <sacarlson> jeremiah_gatong: I've never tried the num lock but I guess xdotool would simulate keystroke to do it
[16:39] <dr_willis> Joneeetux,  you normally dont just move kernels from one disrto to another.  you can recompile them on the others...
[16:39] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: got this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1788611
[16:39] <dr_willis> Joneeetux,  why are you even needing tomess with the kernels? ive not had to touch them in years
[16:40] <jeremiah_gatong> @sacarlson, the keyboards, numlock key is not working, trying to turn it off on the bash
[16:40] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  id just look for a ppa and use that.
[16:41] <sacarlson> jeremiah_gatong: well it should work xdotool  it's a package
[16:41] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: PPA? What shal I need to install
[16:41] <Joneeetux> I'd like to wipe the ubuntu parttion of this "guinea-pig" mach, and re-install ubuntu (or maybe even mint)--just want to teach myself
[16:41] <dr_willis> !ppa | linuxfreaker
[16:41] <linuxfreaker> apt-get install ppa
[16:41] <dr_willis> Joneeetux,  so.. why do you need to mess with the kernel?
[16:41] <minixvbox> Joneeetux: don't mix kernels with different distros
[16:42] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  read the url the bot gave... theres other guides online on using ppa's also.
[16:42] <iceroot> linuxfreaker: you want to install eclipse?
[16:42] <Joneeetux> because this laptop hw not seem to like newer kernels
[16:42] <dr_willis> Joneeetux,  you dont just move older kernels into newer disrtos..
[16:42] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: Yes.I want to install Eclipse Indigo 3.7 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 32bit
[16:43] <Joneeetux> Oh, I see
[16:43] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis:  Is it just like centos epel
[16:43] <bencc> if I have etckeeper installed, can I load config files from a remote git server?
[16:44] <iceroot> !info eclipse
[16:44] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  no idea what 'centos epel' is..
[16:44] <bencc> or will this create circular dependencies?
[16:44] <iceroot> !info eclipse lucid
[16:44] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: Do u mean its repository and I need to install it
[16:44] <sacarlson> jeremiah_gatong: oh and if it's just to fix a needed keyboard problem you can remap the keys like f2 or other that still work to perform what you might need
[16:44] <Joneeetux> I guess what i need to do is just use clonezilla, make a ghost of my sys, then use that to re-install
[16:44] <iceroot> linuxfreaker: you need 3.7? 3.5.2 is not ok?
[16:45] <dr_willis> i wonder if the askubuntu.com site has a guide on using the latest eclipse...
[16:45] <linuxfreaker> Eclipse Indigo 3.7.2
[16:46] <linuxfreaker> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=Eclipse
[16:46] <iceroot> linuxfreaker: you need 3.7? 3.5.2 is not ok?
[16:46] <Joneeetux> well, thanks for help.  You've answer some of my  ?
[16:46] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: What I need to download from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=Eclipse
[16:46] <escott> bencc, its going to be tricky since etckeeper makes an initial commit and therefore you will have different heads
[16:46] <escott> bencc, but just try a normal pull and merge and see what you get
[16:46] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: It wil be ok
[16:46] <oCean> linuxfreaker: please understand that PPA's are 3rd party repositories, and not supported
[16:46] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: No
[16:46] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: I need 3.7
[16:47] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  you need to add the ppa like the ppa guide/docs say. then you use the normal package maanger to install the app.
[16:47] <linuxfreaker> oCean: So you mean I cant install 3.7.2 on 10.04.4
[16:47] <minixvbox> linuxfreaker: not if you want support
[16:47] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  ppa's are not made by ubuntu, they are made by other people.
[16:47] <blup> could anyone recommend a small smtp package for my server? just need to forward mails from website to gmail.
[16:47] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: I am little confused..what steps I need to follow to get Indigo
[16:47] <blup> postfix seems like overkill
[16:47] <iceroot> blup: postfix, sendmail
[16:48] <iceroot> blup: or any other MTA you like
[16:48] <oCean> linuxfreaker: I did not say that. If it is not in the official repositories, you could use a PPA, but lots of PPA's are causing problems for users. Not supported means that you'll have to contact the maintainers of the PPA to get help
[16:48] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  find and enable the proper ppa. use package manager to install it would be the normal way. Or from what i read. you just download that tar.gz extact. cd to the dir and run it.
[16:48] <linuxfreaker> oCean: I just need them installed..thats it
[16:48] <mythos> pangolin, no nothing
[16:48] <dr_willis> im not going to download a 140+mb eclipse archive to just play withit. :)
[16:48] <bencc> escott: I only want to sync one folder from the remote git repo
[16:49] <pangolin> mythos: might want to try asking in #ubuntu-server.
[16:49] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: Okie..I have downloaded it..now which ppa and what command i nee
[16:49] <linuxfreaker> d
[16:49] <minixvbox> linuxfreaker: and if they break stuff you can't ask for help here, thats what oCean is saying
[16:49] <linuxfreaker> minixvbox: No issue
[16:49] <linuxfreaker> minixvbox: I am ready for that risk
[16:49] <mythos> pangolin, nevermint... i'm going to set it after installation
[16:49] <dr_willis> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[16:49] <minixvbox> linuxfreaker: good, as long as you are aware
[16:49] <ldiamond> Why does the memory usage of free or the system monitor does not add up to what is listed in the process list? (I'm not talking about the cache or buffers)
[16:50] <escott> bencc, then look into --filter-branch. that may help. the people in #git may be able to give a better suggestion for the situation
[16:50] <sacarlson> blup: seems many web mail requires encrypted to be recieved now as I had a simple sendmail setup but later needed to change it to link to my gmail account due to my lazy no encryption ssl cert setup
[16:50] <dr_willis> heh site down.. Hmm.
[16:50] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: I searched for eclipse and go tthis list https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=eclipse
[16:51] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: Do i need to add them to /etc/apt/source.list
[16:51] <linuxfreaker> ppa:yogarine/eclipse
[16:52] <linuxfreaker> and then run apt-get update
[16:52] <linuxfreaker> correct?
[16:52] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,   the ppa site shows what command to run to add the ppa.
[16:52] <ldiamond> I.e. My system says ~70% is taken by applications and it barely adds up to 50% in the process list
[16:52] <bencc> escott: thanks
[16:52] <dr_willis> ppa:felix.lechner/eclipse to your system's Software Sources. (Read about installing) <---- a popup url
[16:52] <dr_willis> there seems tobe several ppa's you could use
[16:52] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: Ohh thnx
[16:52] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: I will follow it
[16:53] <dr_willis> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
[16:53] <dr_willis>  Replace ppa:user/ppa-name with the PPA's location that you noted above.
[16:53] <dr_willis> be nice if they made the ppa sites have a dynamic cut/paste  item ;)
[16:55] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: On the PPA's overview page,
[16:55] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: is it talking about source.list
[16:55] <dr_willis> the commands controll that stuff. you dont need to manually mess with sources.list
[16:55] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: where shall i add ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa
[16:55] <waxstone> ppas are in sources.list.d
[16:56] <dr_willis> the (read about installing) on the ppa pages is a LINK that gives the commands you use
[16:56] <dr_willis> i gave the example command above.
[16:56] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: I got the step 2 but the step 1 is confusing.whcih say Step 1: On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading that reads Adding this PPA to your system. Make a note of the PPA's location, which looks like:  ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa
[16:56] <linuxfreaker> Where shall i run that command
[16:57] <dr_willis> err... at the terminal.. where else do you run commands? :)
 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
  Replace ppa:user/ppa-name with the PPA's location that you noted above.

[17:07] <escott> bencc, to your previous http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1214906/how-do-i-merge-a-sub-directory-in-git if you want to disable recommended/suggested there are a number of approaches. you switch to cli which has different options than synaptic or you can pass an argument to the cli routine http://linux.koolsolutions.com/2009/01/07/howto-tell-apt-get-not-to-install-recommends-packages-in-debian-linux/

[17:10] <mintman> linuxfreaker: Why are u messing with 2 versions? Should have read description of differences of package before install...
[17:11] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  that means nothing to me.
[17:11] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: https://launchpad.net/~felix.lechner/+archive/eclipse says 3.7.1 but when i am trying to see its installatoion it says 3.5.2
[17:13] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  use synaptic and see what the ppa has to offer. could bt its a differnt name.
[17:13] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: No desktp version installed for 10.04.4
[17:14] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  what do you mean by that statement?
[17:14] <mintman> linuxfreaker: u talking about a gui version vs command line?
[17:14] <zykotick9> syddraf: is this a hybrid intel/nvidia portable computer?
[17:14] <Strav> Hi. Small general question: is there an hardened (as in "more secure") flavor of ubuntu available out there? (something in the like of: kernel with the PaX patches, GrSecurity rbac (or SELinux), proper configs for thoses, security focused default configs for the usual services (apache, nginx, postgresql), etc.)
[17:14] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: I cant run synaptic since I have no GUI
[17:14] <linuxfreaker> mintman: yes
[17:14] <mintman> lol
[17:14] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  dident we mention earlier that eclipse needs a GUI to run......
[17:15] <bazhang> Strav, no, but you can  use apparmor and the like
[17:15] <dr_willis> so now we have gone full circle. :)
[17:15] <syddraf> zykotick9: I believe so. It is a dell inspiron 17r.
[17:15] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop started
[17:15] <zykotick9> syddraf: research bumblebee i believe it's called, good luck.
[17:15] <Strav> bazhang: I'm not sure if apparmor is a better option than grsec or selinux for a security enhanced environment.
[17:16] <linuxfreaker> dr_willis: sorry for troubling u
[17:16] <bazhang> Strav, just an example. those others should be there as well
[17:16] <dr_willis> linuxfreaker,  why did you even get the server edition?  been easier to just start with the desktop edition.
[17:16] <bazhang> !find selinux
[17:16] <Oer> suddraf there is also a #Bumblebee channel, those guys are up2date
[17:16] <zykotick9> Oer: thanks
[17:16] <syddraf> zykotick9: Oer: Thank you. Figures that this is going to be more trouble than I expected. *sigh*

[17:17] <biosystemaltered> Hi all! I have a problem with the A-DESK, the file is coming as setup.exe. I'm using kubuntu with KDE 4.8. How do I install the A-DESK?
[17:18] <gilver> okay sorry, and thanks bye
[17:19] <dr_willis> !wine | biosystemaltered
[17:20] <piliakis> hello everyone!
[17:20] <Strav> bazhang: selinux has historically been a pain to configure, I don't simply want the packages; what interests me, is if there is a well maintained, security enhanced, distribution based on ubuntu. If there aren't, I must say I'm a little puzzled by it, given that a secure hosting environnement is something you'd wish for as soon as you have a webserver running any kind of critical application.
[17:20] <piliakis> I have a weird apt-get problem
[17:20] <piliakis> I'm trying to install gtkevemon and it shows unresolved dependancies
[17:20] <biosystemaltered> but the program is for linux
[17:20] <bazhang> Strav, an officially supported one? not that I know of
[17:20] <biosystemaltered> not to win
[17:20] <ikonia> Strav: you need to do more research and background on the technology you are using then, as what you want already exists - it's called ubuntu,
[17:20] <piliakis> I get a Depends: libssl but it is not installable
[17:20] <Oer> biosystemaltered, here is a howto > http://ubuntuguide.net/a-desk-put-your-favorite-video-as-animated-desktop-in-ubuntu
[17:21] <piliakis> however I have libssl0.9.8 and libssl1.0.0 installed
[17:21] <piliakis> there is no libssl package
[17:21] <dr_willis> biosystemaltered,  i find it very strange that a linux app would come as a whatever.exe file
[17:21] <dr_willis> especially a setup.exe
[17:22] <upset> dr_willis, how did you boot Android from a usb?
[17:22] <iceroot> sounds like teamviewer
[17:22] <biosystemaltered> it just happened man
[17:22] <piliakis> any idea how to resolve that?
[17:22] <biosystemaltered> weird
[17:22] <dr_willis> upset,  i just used dd to image it to my flash drive.. poped in the flash, told bios to boot it.
[17:22] <iceroot> biosystemaltered: is it teamviewer? there comes the linux-version as exe
[17:22] <upset> dr_willis: I've just run the dd thing after unmounting my usb, and it didn't work
[17:22] <dr_willis> upset,  my netbook can even boot from sd.
[17:22] <dr_willis> upset,  whats the exact command you used?
[17:22] <upset> dr_willis: I've said nothing of sd cards
[17:23] <piliakis> biosystemaltered, Teamviewer 7 comes as a .exe and it runs throught wine
[17:23] <piliakis> seemed weird to me too
[17:23] <upset> dr_willis: Uh, one sec
[17:23] <techfreak> Hi everybody
[17:23] <biosystemaltered> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/A-DESK+AnimatedDesktopGUI_EN-ESv18+FREE?content=88248
[17:23] <Strav> ikonia: ubuntu kernels already ship with the PaX patch set? they provide good integration for SELinux like red-hat? You don't have to tweak your default configs so they are as secure as can be? I don't really know which ubuntu you're talking about.
[17:23] <piliakis> biosystemaltered, Teamviewer 6 comes as native linux app
[17:23] <upset> dr_willis: umount /dev/sdc1 , and then sudo dd if=android-x86-4.0-RC1-s103t.iso of=/dev/sdc1
[17:23] <piliakis> can someone help with my enquiry?
[17:24] <Strav> bazhang: not necessarly an officially supported one.
[17:24] <dr_willis> upset,  i belive i mentioned earlier. (several times) tyat you want to use /dev/sdc   NOT sdc1
[17:24] <biosystemaltered> when I finish downloading it appears as setup.exe
[17:24] <upset> dr_willis: But sdc1 IS the location
[17:24] <dr_willis> upset,  sdc1 is the first partion OF the device.  the image file is a image of the whole disk. not a partition
[17:24] <ikonia> Strav: the are SSP (for example) patched kernels availabe it ships with appamour with base profiles that you tweak to YOUR security standard (there is no such thing as a generic secure template) if you don't like it you can use different tools such as selinux and make your own profiles
[17:24] <ikonia> Strav: what is missing for you ?
[17:24] <dr_willis> upset,  i used dd and put it on /dev/sdd  and it worked..
[17:25] <upset> dr_willis: I see, it's a naming thing. I'll try it.
[17:25] <meet> hi.. how to switch between terminal window and gedit window?
[17:25] <zykotick9> piliakis: gtkevemon doesn't appear to be a package in ubuntu?
[17:25] <piliakis> biosystemaltered, please check my reply to your issue
[17:26] <upset> dr_willis: I didn't understand that sdc1 was only a partition. That's very strange, though. If there is only one partition, why should it matter?
[17:26] <piliakis> zykotick9, I have added their repo, it shows unresolved dependancies for libraries I already have installed
[17:26] <piliakis> it is weird
[17:26] <iceroot> upset: sdc1 does NOT contain the partiton layout, boot sector and so on
[17:26] <minixvbox> meet: alt + Tab?
[17:26] <Strav> ikonia: well, simply a distribution effort that's focused on security. I don't have to be told that I can already patch the packages by my own, I know I can do that.
[17:26] <meet> i mean i opened gedit from the terminal. But now that i want to give one more command, i am not getting any prompt.
[17:26] <upset> iceroot: Um, go on
[17:26] <iceroot> upset: that is part of the first 512bytes of sdc
[17:26] <zykotick9> piliakis: different versions, or 32vs64 bit perhaps?  good luck.
[17:27] <upset> iceroot: The part I wrote to?
[17:27] <ikonia> Strav: everyone has different security needs, so what you want as a "off the shelf install" doesn't exist, it's up to you to use the tools to build your own standard
[17:27] <meet> minixvbox: i mean i opened gedit from the terminal. But now that i want to give one more command, i am not getting any prompt.
[17:27] <piliakis> zykotick9, I already tried both 32 and 64bit libs
[17:27] <zykotick9> piliakis: installing 3rd party software, and it failing - is not weird
[17:27] <iceroot> upset: i have not floowed the complete discussion
[17:27] <dr_willis> upset,  because a partion is not a 'whole disk'
[17:27] <dr_willis> upset,  you rarely want to use /dev/sdc1 when doing images.
[17:27] <minixvbox> meet: close gedit
[17:27] <upset> dr_willis: Okay. Noted
[17:27] <iceroot> upset: for images you must use the whole disc because if you only use sdc1 you dont have the partition layout
[17:28] <upset> dr_willis, iceroot: Thank you. I'll try it out now.
[17:28] <iceroot> upset: or you use sdc1 and the first 512bytes of sdc
[17:28] <minixvbox> meet: in future append &disown and you will free the terminal up
[17:28] <dr_willis> the various pendrivelinux tools may have settings for the android stuff as well
[17:28] <meet> minixvbox: but i am writing a c program in gedit. so its annoying to close the gedit everytime and then again open it
[17:28] <dr_willis> meet,  screen is your friend also. :)
[17:28] <upset> iceroot: Wait, does this mean I should apply mkfs to the partition or the whole thing?
[17:28] <dr_willis> ctrl-z, bg, put in other commands
[17:28] <meet> minixvbox: did not get your last statement
[17:29] <dr_willis> upset,  dd will partion it as a clone of the  iso layout.
[17:29] <upset> iceroot: In reformatting it, I mean
[17:29] <upset> dr_willis: Okay.
[17:29] <iceroot> upset: the filesystem has nothing to do with partition layout
[17:29] <dr_willis> upset,  you dont want to use a huge usb flash drive as the target. one just big enough to hold the  iso.
[17:29] <iceroot> upset: you create a filesystem INSIDE a partition
[17:29] <Strav> ikonia: to some extent, clearly this could be the focus of a distro, Gentoo has the Gentoo hardened project, http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/, so I wondered if there was anything like this on the debian/ubuntu side.
[17:29] <dr_willis> upset,  you then can boot that imaged usb, and install to a differnt location.
[17:29] <minixvbox> meet: when you launch something from terminal add &disown after it and it will become a background process, the terminal can then be used for other stuff
[17:29] <upset> iceroot: Er, okay. how do I erase what data it has?
[17:30] <ikonia> Strav: the tools are already there in the ubuntu distor
[17:30] <piliakis> must be a problem with the package
[17:30] <ikonia> distro
[17:30] <piliakis> I tried compiling it from the SVN repo and it worked
[17:30] <iceroot> upset: you want to delete the data? the partition? or what?
[17:30] <escott> meet, just gedit filename &
[17:30] <meet> minixvbox: ok so like gedit &disown
[17:30] <minixvbox> meet: alternatively you could just launch another terminal
[17:30] <upset> iceroot: I wanted to delete the data so I could try this thing again, and later bring it back to a clean state
[17:30] <minixvbox> meet: not sure why you are launching gedit from terminal anyway
[17:31] <iceroot> upset: what thing?
[17:31] <upset> iceroot: The usb!
[17:31] <upset> iceroot: The little flash drive
[17:31] <dr_willis> upset,  dd will totally erase the usb
[17:31] <upset> dr_willis: Right, but I don't want it to be an Android live drive forever
[17:31] <iceroot> upset: you want to delete the files inside a partitoon but you want still the partiton?
[17:31] <iceroot> upset: and you still want the file-system in that partition?
[17:31] <meet> minixvbox: now i am compiling a c++ program. so i was giving all the commands from the terminal itself. anyways, thanks for the help. :)
[17:32] <dr_willis> upset,  then you will use gparted or whatever to repartion it when you want it back to normal
[17:32] <upset> iceroot: Er, I just want an empty FAT32 usb drive
[17:32] <minixvbox> meet: no worries :)
[17:32] <upset> dr_willis: There isn't a quick way to do it in bash?
[17:32] <iceroot> upset: use gedit and format the partition as fat32
[17:32] <dr_willis> upset,  if you want to KEEP it as a fat32 now. you need to use some tools like unetbootin, or other tools at the pendrivelinux site - not dd.
[17:32] <iceroot> upset: gparted
[17:32] <dr_willis> upset,  fdisk is quick for me.
[17:32] <dr_willis> but maybey not for you ;)
[17:33] <upset> dr_willis: The FAT32 think isn't important. I just want it blank at the end of this
[17:33] <dr_willis> got android4 on my EEEPc Now. :)
[17:33] <techfreak> fdisk
[17:33] <dr_willis> upset,  you repartion it then..
[17:33] <upset> dr_willis: I don't understand fdisk. It didn't have any options about erasing the drive, as far as I could see
[17:33] <iceroot> upset: use gparted or fdisk and format it to fat32
[17:34] <iceroot> upset: then use gparted, much more easier then fdisk
[17:34] <dr3mro> does any one here uses zte mf 190 usb modem in ubuntu .and knows a solution why i have to unplug it and reinsert it 4 times or more to make it connect to internet ???
[17:34] <trevor69420> i second or triple gparted
[17:35] <dr_willis> upset,  you would need to learn how to use fdisks menus
[17:35] <dr_willis> upset,  or parted, or cfdisk
[17:35] <upset> iceroot, dr_willis: Er, okay.
[17:35] <trevor69420> or cant he simply use Ubuntu's built in disk utility app?
[17:35] <dr_willis> he asked for a command line tool
[17:35] <upset> It's not ubuntu-based
[17:35] <trevor69420> upset do you have gparted installed?
[17:35] <iceroot> trevor69420: that should be gparted
[17:36] <upset> so no
[17:36] <iceroot> upset: what is not ubuntu-based?
[17:36] <upset> Too many people talking at once
[17:36] <dr_willis> a gparted live cd/flash is a must have tool in your toolbox
[17:36] <upset> android is not ubuntu-based
[17:36] <trevor69420> iceroot, no they have another one built in now that isnt gparted
[17:36] <iceroot> upset: and not supported he4re
[17:36] <trevor69420> gparted is installed through the package manager
[17:36] <upset> so I can't use the default creator
[17:36] <iceroot> trevor69420: ah ok
[17:36] <iceroot> upset: #android
[17:37] <trevor69420> i agree with dr_willis
[17:37] <upset> iceroot: But I came here because I couldn't find ubuntu-specific information about doing this
[17:37] <upset> iceroot: Like the automounting thing
[17:37] <dr_willis> which was going in the totally wrong direction. :)
[17:37] <iceroot> upset: if you are not using ubuntu for that its offtopic here
[17:37] <trevor69420> iceroot he is using ubuntu
[17:38] <dr_willis> whold issue boiled down to useing /dev/sdc1 instead of /dev/sdc :)
[17:38] <iceroot> trevor69420: he said he is using android
[17:38] <upset> iceroot: Why do you think I'm not using ubuntu?
[17:38] <dr_willis> hes trying to make a android usb flash drive.
[17:38] <iceroot> upset: because i asked you
[17:38] <upset> iceroot: You've missed the whole point of my query
[17:38] <iceroot> upset: and you said its not ubuntu-based
[17:38] <upset> iceroot: Android ISN'T ubuntu-based
[17:38] <iceroot> upset: use gparted and format the drive as fat32
[17:38] <upset> Stop
[17:39] <upset> You already told me that
[17:39] <iceroot> upset: then i guess you have your answer
[17:39] <trevor69420> yea i think there's a misunderstanding
[17:39] <dr_willis> so now you got all the answers you need. :)
[17:39] <iceroot> great, issue solved :)
[17:39] <upset> dr_willis: Hopefully. I've learned a lot. Let's see if this works
[17:40] <dr_willis> ive allready got my android 4 usb made.. booting it.. installing it to sd for my netbook. :P
[17:40] <pagio> ciao
[17:40] <trevor69420> he's just trying to format a drive in ubuntu sheesh i'm not sure what android had to do with anthing tho
[17:40] <pagio> !list
[17:40] <iceroot> dr_willis: worth having a look without touchscreen on x86?
[17:40] <upset> trevor69420: You've also missed the point
[17:41] <dr_willis> iceroot,  it worked ok the 10 min i played with it.
[17:41] <upset> trevor69420: I wanted to write a live Android usb, and then clean it afterwards.
[17:41] <sattu94> I just installed Ubuntu on a Lenovo machine, it works pretty kewl.
[17:41] <upset> trevor69420: It was doing some crazy stuff earlier, so that's why I came here.
[17:42] <Eidel> i have lost my "xubuntu" option in the login screen, any suggestions to get it back?
[17:42] <upset> Eidel: Did you uninstall anything lately?
[17:42] <Eidel> upset: I did uninstall xubuntu-desktop, but installed it again
[17:43] <upset> Eidel: Why would you do that, silly?
[17:43] <iceroot> Eidel: output of "dpkg -l xubuntu-desktop"
[17:43] <dr_willis> Eidel,  you restarted the machine/X server/Login manager since then?
[17:43] <Eidel> Eidel: cause i wanted to use lubuntu, then i realized that it was not for me...
[17:43] <Eidel> iceroot: will try that!
[17:43] <Eidel> dr_willis: Yep, several times
[17:44] <dr_willis> somttimes the login screen doex not see the new sessions untill it gets restarted
[17:44] <minixvbox> Eidel: you didn't have to uninstall xubuntu to use/install/try lubuntu
[17:44] <upset> Brb, trying Android
[17:44] <dr_willis> Lubuntu is handy. :)
[17:44] <upset> I'm switching to Pantheon when it comes out in about April
[17:44] <upset> Vala programs are so sexy
[17:44] <dr_willis> No idea what Pantheon even is....
[17:45] <upset> Elementary's desktop environment
[17:45] <dr_willis> the 'for ever in beta desktop' :)
[17:45] <upset> It's gonna be so pretty and minimal
[17:45] <dr3mro> upset .. indeed
[17:45] <dr_willis> pretty minimal... :P
[17:45] <upset> No way, have you seen audience?
[17:45] <upset> minimalISTIC
[17:46] <upset> As in just what I need
[17:46] <dr_willis> jwm and a xtermial = mimimal :)
[17:46] <upset> Oh pshaw. Go back thirty years, grampa
[17:46] <dr_willis> Been there did that..
[17:46] <upset> This here's the modern era
[17:46]  * dr_willis dusts off his Vic-20
[17:46] <oCean> let's move back on topic please
[17:46] <dr3mro> dr_willis, pantheon by far better than both unity and gnome shell but with less user base the only draw back is it tires to copy mac os x
[17:46] <dr_willis> and here the mondern era is going back to minimal. :)
[17:47] <upset> dr3mro: Dude, pantheon doesn't really exist yet. It's in a crazy unstable developer phase
[17:47] <minixvbox> lets stick to support shall we?
[17:47] <dr3mro> upset, yes .. i only saw a screen cast on youtube :)
[17:47] <Seryth> Anyone here use rxvt? I've setup a .Xresources but I'm still seeing the default rxvt when I run it....
[17:47] <trevor69420> i love ubuntu... but i really wish it were compatible with the internet
[17:48] <upset> Feh, so strict
[17:48] <oCean> dr3mro, upset: feel free to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:48] <dr_willis> ServerSage,  i think theres some command to read the resource file. been ages ago since i last had to do that.  (im a 30+ grampa)
[17:48] <Seryth> trevor69420: O.o What do you mean compatible with the net
[17:48] <trevor69420> seryth my isp told me i cant use ubuntu cuz it's not compatible with the internet
[17:48] <trevor69420> lol
[17:49] <trevor69420> seryth i was only kidding, but thats what my ISP just told me
[17:49] <Seryth> trevor69420: lmfao wtf they talking about XD
[17:49] <Seryth> Oh I see
[17:49] <bazhang> trevor69420, lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:49] <Seryth> Hahah
[17:49] <trevor69420> exactly
[17:49] <Seryth> Sorry bazhang
[17:49] <dr_willis> bbl
[17:49] <Raymond__> lol
[17:50] <trevor69420> i would have had they not banned me for no reason on that channel
[17:50] <trevor69420> it seems i'm not banned now but I was
[17:50] <bazhang> trevor69420, stay on topic here nonetheless
[17:52] <arcnewuss> I cant turn on the wireless in 11.10 32b
[17:53] <minixvbox> arcnewuss: yes you can, we believe in you :)
[17:53] <trevor69420> you only need to think happy thoughts
[17:53] <minixvbox> arcnewuss: is it turned off by a hardware switch?
[17:53] <oCean> trevor69420: enough with the offtopic
[17:54] <upset> Close but no cigar.
[17:54] <trevor69420> OMG WTF... minixvbox can say yes you can we believe in you but god forbid i same something refering to the EXACT same issue
[17:54] <oCean> trevor69420: control your language here, please
[17:54] <Oer> arcnewuss, did it work previously in 11.04?
[17:54] <ikonia> trevor69420: getting tired of your language
[17:54] <upset> It did some stuff, and then cycled around the Android logo without accessing data
[17:54] <upset> trevor69420: Woah, what is going on?
[17:55] <trevor69420> what did I say? i didnt swear
[17:55] <bazhang> trevor69420, lets move on
[17:55] <minixvbox> !wtf | trevor69420
[17:55] <pangolin> !guidelines | trevor69420 Please read them
[17:55] <upset> trevor69420: What the ..... probably caught them
[17:55] <upset> Seriously guys, my android got stuck. Is there anything I can do?
[17:55] <minixvbox> upset: not really ubuntu related
[17:56] <upset> Any reason it failed?
[17:56] <upset> minixvbox: Yes, it is. I want to know if I incorrectly wrote the live Android usb in ubuntu
[17:56] <ikonia> upset: there is an #android channel, try that
[17:56] <Oer> upset, there is a howto to install android with fake-memorycard plugin, but android-issues is not really ontopic here.
[17:56] <ikonia> upset: they maybe better equipped to help you progress it, and know the gotcha's with running in a VM
[17:57] <ezio> why don't i have a sepearte speaker and headphone audio control?
[17:57] <upset> ikonia: This was considered on-topic five minutes ago, and this morning.
[17:57] <upset> Is dr_willis or iceroot still here?
[17:57] <ikonia> upset: I'm not saying it's not, I'm saying the #android channel may be better placed as they will know the OS better plus I'm sure a lot of them will be running it in a VM so know the tricks/pitfalls etc
[17:58] <upset> ikonia: I suppose.
[17:58] <Musigreg> Hello everyone
[17:58] <ikonia> upset: however if the guest OS isn't running correctly, it's probably not a virtual machine issue, rather than how the OS works in that VM, so debugging the OS maybe the first steps forward
[17:58] <ezio> why don't i have a sepearte speaker and headphone audio control?
[17:58] <ezio> separate
[17:58] <upset> ikonia: I'm not using it in a VM
[17:59] <ikonia> upset: I thought you said you where running it in virtual box ?
[17:59] <upset> ikonia: Never
[17:59] <ikonia> upset: where are you running it then ?
[17:59] <upset> ikonia: I'm trying to boot it from a usb
[17:59] <Musigreg> I need someone to help configure a nfs share, cause the one i set seems to be working, but when I browse into it via nautilus, or trying to open mkv files, everything goes dark, and i can't seem to get anything properly working
[17:59] <ikonia> upset: then it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:59] <ikonia> upset: #android is the best place fo rit
[17:59] <upset> ikonia: Yes, it does.
[17:59] <ikonia> upset: sorry, I thought you where running it in a vm
[18:00] <upset> ikonia: I've been working on it with people in this channel all day
[18:00] <ikonia> upset: no it's not, as how your machine boots a USB isn't an ubuntu issue, ubuntu isn't even loaded at this time
[18:00] <ikonia> upset: ok - you've been working with people in this channel who should have directed you to #android
[18:00] <minixvbox> upset: beyond using ubuntu to copy it to usb it has nothing else to do with ubuntu
[18:00] <upset> ikonia: How I write it in ubuntu is important
[18:00] <Oer> upset, do not mistaken the help to put an iso on an usb-stick and support howto-boot-android
[18:00] <ikonia> upset: it doesn't matter if it's important or not, you've not booted ubuntu, so the issue is with the OS on the stick, #android will help you
[18:01] <upset> minixvbox, dude, if it's not working it's probably because I did something wrong while I was in ubuntu. Therefore I require ubuntu-specific information
[18:01] <ikonia> upset: the guys in #android will be well equipped to work it through with you
[18:01] <ikonia> upset: ok - what ubuntu specific information do you need ?
[18:01] <upset> ikonia: At this point, maybe
[18:01] <upset> ikonia: But it's not off-topic
[18:01] <ikonia> upset: if you let us know what ubuntu info you need instead of "my android won't boot" I'll help
[18:01] <upset> ikonia: It most certainly has to do with something I'm doing incorrectly from ubuntu
[18:01] <ikonia> upset: android = offtopic, ubuntu = on topic, ask for ubuntu info, and you'll help
[18:02] <ikonia> upset: what do you think you've done wrong in ubuntu (as part of the process)
[18:02] <ikonia> upset: as in where in the process do you think there is a problem ?
[18:02] <upset> ikonia: I was hoping to speak with the guys I was talking to a few minutes ago. I'm out of time, and I have to go
[18:02] <pimperle> is there a tool / collection of scripts, that i can use to manage ssl certificates? I'd like to operate a small CA for development purposes on my own box. The script would have to create the CA, optionally install the root cert into the systems database and then provide some userfriendly interface to issue and revoke certificates.
[18:02] <ikonia> upset: well, if you ask I'm happy to help you work it through
[18:02] <pimperle> however, i could not google something like this
[18:02] <Musigreg> I need someone to help configure a nfs share, cause the one i set seems to be working, but when I browse into it via nautilus, or trying to open mkv files, everything goes dark...
[18:02] <Musigreg> please ?
[18:02] <upset> ikonia: Thanks, but I have to go to my fieldwork
[18:03] <upset> ikonia: Goodbye

[18:10] <helo1> Hello, can someone shed some light on NTFS compatibility in Ubuntu? I was reading this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1075774&page=3) and it makes it sound like a pretty bad idea but I really need a way for my Windows and Ubuntu to share the home directory (since that will allow the Music/Pictures/etc folder to be the same physical folder for both OS's and so forth).
[18:10] <auronandace> helo1: why not use a storage partition that both can mount
[18:11] <helo1> That is what I intend to to
[18:11] <helo1> 3 partitions, NTFS windows XP, EXT4 Ubuntu, NTFS file store for both
[18:11] <auronandace> helo1: yup, thats how i do it
[18:11] <helo1> But a lot of people posted in that thread that NTFS is not stable on Linux (even though that has not been my experience so far)
[18:12] <auronandace> helo1: i've used it for years, no issues
[18:12] <Pici> helo1: You just can't install your root partition on an ntfs volume.
[18:12] <helo1> Pici: Oh I see
[18:12] <helo1> Thanks guys, I'll stick with that then
[18:12] <Pici> helo1: ntfs read and write support for other things has been stable for a few years.
[18:13] <auronandace> helo1: i'm saying a seperate storage partition, never a ntfs /home partition
[18:13] <albech> hi guys.. I have spun up a 10.04 server and wish to add a gnome (bare bone) gui to the server.. i have read that: 'sudo aptitude install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop' will install gnome..
[18:13] <Pici> albech: Thats correct.
[18:13] <albech> after running that command i wish gnome to load at boot.. how do I do that?
[18:13] <zykotick9> albech: i'd suggest gnome-desktop-environment if you want less bloat then ubuntu-desktop
[18:13] <helo1> auronandace: I was hoping to mount /home to a folder on the NTFS partition so things like My Documents in windows linked to the same physical storage. Can I do that?
[18:14] <smplman> albech: correct, not server kernels are not built for gui's
[18:14] <auronandace> helo1: /home in ntfs is never a good idea and definately not supported
[18:15] <ssta> helo1: it'xs technically possible, but a VERY bad idea
[18:15] <auronandace> helo1: just use a seperate storage partition and mount it on boot
[18:15] <Pici> albech: That should have installed gdm.  Does /etc/init.d/gdm start  do anything?
[18:15] <auronandace> helo1: learn to put what you need there
[18:15] <albech> so should i be using  gnome-desktop-environment instead of ubuntu-desktop ?
[18:16] <helo1> I see... That's what I have been doing, but it makes a mess over time with my docs in windows and a separate documents folder in ubuntu
[18:16] <ssta> albech: whichever you prefer
[18:16] <helo1> Is there any way supported for the two to point to the same location for "my documents" like storage
[18:16] <ssta> helo1: ubuntu1
[18:17] <auronandace> helo1: so you haven't learned to put what you need in your storage partition
[18:17] <ssta> helo1: free cloud based storage, works from any machine, any OS
[18:17] <auronandace> helo1: just a matter of developing that habbit
[18:18] <helo1> Gotchya. Unfortunate. Are there any other file systems I could use for my /home that Windows could also understand without corrupting?
[18:18] <DeltaWhy> is it possible to use the kernel from 12.04 beta with 11.10?
[18:18] <auronandace> helo1: no
[18:19] <auronandace> DeltaWhy: no, not supported
[18:19] <DeltaWhy> I want to try out the rc6 features
[18:19] <sipior> DeltaWhy: you can always build your own.
[18:19] <DeltaWhy> any chance it will be backported once 12.04 is released?
[18:19] <helo1> Thanks
[18:20] <auronandace> helo1: windows does fat and ntfs, neither of which are suitable for /home directories due to file permissions
[18:20] <DeltaWhy> sipior: can I use the vanilla source or are there patches that haven't been integrated yet?
[18:22] <sipior> DeltaWhy: i'm sure ubuntu has many patches against the vanilla source. have a look around.
[18:22] <subhojit777> is there any light weight php ide for ubuntu 11.04?
[18:22] <subhojit777> i use eclipse pdt but it consumes a lot of memory
[18:22] <sipior> DeltaWhy: you could just pull the source out of the beta kernel package.
[18:22] <DeltaWhy> I guess that answers my question. thanks!
[18:22] <smplman> subhojit777: vi, nano, textedit
[18:22] <Soothsayer> if I get a "Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_17.0.963.66-r124982_amd64.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 74.125.236.97 80]
[18:22] <Soothsayer> "
[18:22] <DeltaWhy> oh yeah good point
[18:22] <Soothsayer> what am I supposed to do ?
[18:22] <Soothsayer> this is happening in the Update Manager.
[18:23] <subhojit777> the one which has autofill option
[18:23] <subhojit777> and it has plugins option
[18:23] <smplman> subhojit777: oh and emacs ofcourse
[18:23] <Ferrisnaut> hello. i am looking for an ubuntu package to assist me in extracting office and windows keys from a dying hard drive. are any of you aware of one?
[18:24] <helo1> The way I have it set up now, I have only 2 partitions, EXT4 Ubuntu, and NTFS WinXP. I put symlinks in each folder of my /home/user/*** directory pointing to their windows counterpart. I am effectively saving everything in the NTFS partition but I have to follow the link every time to get to it rather than both locations being one. Can you explain in a little more detail why permissions matter at this level?
[18:24] <recon_lap> Ferrisnaut: how do you mean 'dying' ?
[18:24] <MonkeyDust> Ferrisnaut  better ask in ##windows (that's double #)
[18:25] <Ferrisnaut> monkeydust: it is slowly losing its ability to be a hard drive
[18:25] <Raymond__> peace
[18:26] <Ferrisnaut> monkeydust: this isn't relevant to windows anymore. i am using an ubuntu livedisc.
[18:26] <Ferrisnaut> :\
[18:27] <minixvbox> Ferrisnaut: perhaps you should have kept the keys safe somewhere?
[18:27] <albech> Pici: yes /etc/init.d/gdm is there, but i cannot start it: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[18:27] <albech> utility, e.g. service gdm start
[18:27] <albech> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[18:27] <albech> Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start gdm
[18:27] <albech> start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.12" (uid=1000 pid=919 comm="start) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
[18:28] <FloodBot1> albech: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:28] <sipior> Ferrisnaut: might be useful? http://www.howtogeek.com/64600/how-to-recover-windows-and-software-keys-from-a-broken-computer/
[18:28] <albech> sorry for spamming..
[18:29] <medie> Hello
[18:29] <medie> WHat is wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/874949/
[18:30] <bazhang> !here | medie
[18:30] <MonkeyDust> medie  what are you trying to do? in human language
[18:30] <medie> Install a driver for my GPU that doesn't tear or lag.
[18:30] <bazhang> medie, from where
[18:30] <bazhang> medie, and what gpu
[18:30] <medie> The driver installation tool
[18:30] <recon_lap> albech: -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/ you can paste lots of things here and copy the link for other people
[18:30] <medie> bazhang: A4 3400
[18:30] <bazhang> medie, yes, from where
[18:31] <Ferrisnaut> i will read the article, thank you sipior. I attempted to use this utility yesterday, but wine didnt like it.
[18:31] <medie> I don' understand the question, from ubuntus repos, the internet or wherever it is set to download them from?
[18:31] <bazhang> medie, correct
[18:31] <medie> I don't really know where that tool tries to download its drivers, it didn't tell...
[18:32] <albech> http://paste.ubuntu.com/874954/
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> medie  did you try to install using apt-get or the software center, or from a website?
[18:32] <sipior> Ferrisnaut: there is of course a small bootstrapping problem here (need windows to get windows), but if you have another key about, or can temporarily "borrow" one, consider running windows from a VM under linux.
[18:32] <smplman> MonkeyDust: he prpbably used the driver tool
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> ok
[18:32] <medie> MonkeyDust: From the control panel -> then driver tool
[18:33] <zykotick9> albech: try "sudo service gdm start"
[18:33] <bazhang> medie, you're trying to install gpu drivers within vmware?
[18:33] <mintman> celthunder: u around
[18:33] <medie> bazhang: No, Ubuntu is the host os
[18:34] <smplman> medie: ati of nvidia?
[18:34] <smplman> or*
[18:34] <donsd> I think my desktop is unity. How do I tell for sure?
[18:34] <medie> smplman: ati
[18:34] <mintman> anyone running xnomad
[18:35] <smplman> medie: i know i have used the nvidia driver from their site instead of the ubuntu ones with good luck, not sure if ati has the same reasources
[18:35] <zykotick9> smplman: that's a bad suggestion
[18:36] <medie> So what should I do? Never watch movies?
[18:36] <smplman> zykotick9: still a suggestion though
[18:36] <zykotick9> !wfm > smplman
[18:37] <medie> How can I check for sure what gpu I have?
[18:37] <gameid> Every half hour (approx. :29 and :59) my external monitor display is fucked up. only happens with Unity, not gnome. dont see anything related in cron. known issue?
[18:38] <smplman> medie: lspci
[18:38] <bazhang> gameid, no cursing here
[18:38] <medie> smplman: No gpu there, only a sata and usb kontroller
[18:38] <gameid> apologies. hard to explain. flickering, some of the other display placed on top in middle.
[18:39] <medie> smplman: and sound and network
[18:39] <bazhang> gameid, and with unity-2d as well?
[18:39] <binger> celthunder - you around?  Am back to trying to fix my ubuntu install.
[18:40] <gameid> not sure if i tried that
[18:40] <Ferrisnaut>  will mono runtime run windows executables?
[18:40] <smplman> medie: check here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-display-video-card-type-make/
[18:40] <Ferrisnaut> Is this some sort of wine alternative?
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> Ferrisnaut  mono is more a .NET alternative
[18:41] <Ferrisnaut> strange. Would it run .exes? perhaps it is written in .net
[18:41] <Ferrisnaut> no harm in trying, i suppose
[18:41] <gameid> anybody heard of display issues like that? doesnt seem to be much on forums etc.
[18:42] <smplman> Ferrisnaut: it could work but you would have to rewrite it using the mono libraries
[18:42] <medie> AMD Radeon HD 6410D <- how can I get drivers for that?
[18:43] <Ferrisnaut> thank you for your assistance, smplman.
[18:43] <smplman> medie: check the ubuntu packages for ati, if no luck there go check the ati site
[18:43] <smplman> Ferrisnaut: np
[18:46] <mintman> hello
[18:47] <binger> here's the story http://paste.ubuntu.com/874983/  celthunder has been trying to help over the last couple of days.
[18:48] <binger> latest error is ubi -partman failed with exit code 141 when I try to reinstall 11.1 over existing install.
[18:48] <mintman> anyone use xmonad?
[18:49] <smplman> binger: boot a live cd, run fsck on your drive
[18:49] <recon_lap> binger: did you look at the drive to see why it failed?
[18:49] <zykotick9> mintman: i bet the people in #xmonad do
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> !info xmonad
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> ok
[18:50] <mintman> zykotick9: already ther thanks
[18:51] <medie> Unable to resolve  debhelper  dh-modaliases execstack.  Please manually install and try again.
[18:51] <medie> What to do?
[18:52] <smplman> medie: what command did you run? that error is not very helpful by itself.
[18:53] <mintman> medie: did u compile package or apt-get or synaptic?
[18:53] <binger> anyone ever see an error like ubi -partman failed while trying to reinstall ubuntu?
[18:54] <nyrpnz> Hello, is there any way to make the master mono volume match the master volume?
[18:54] <nyrpnz> they seem to be operating independently
[18:54] <ironhalik> Hello - anyone using miniPCIe based GPS module on ubuntu?
[18:54] <recon_lap> binger: have you booted from a live cd and run fsck on your drive?
[18:57] <benbloom_> is there a software based reason my ps/2 mouse would stop working? how can i troubleshoot it?
[18:58] <forHonor> Hi, I'm trying to add the java plugin for my browser in Ubuntu, but am having difficulty finding the right package I need to install in from the repository. Can anyone help?
[18:58] <binger> anyone here that can please help with http://paste.ubuntu.com/874983/?
[18:59] <recon_lap> benbloom_: plug the mouse into a different computer to see if it's working
[18:59] <benbloom_> tried that recon_lap
[18:59] <zykotick9> forHonor: install icedtea6-plugin if you are using openjava
[18:59] <mintman> forHonor: apt search firefox
[18:59] <dr_willis> benbloom_,  it worked then stopped as you were using it? or how exactly?
[19:00] <bazhang> mintman, apt-cache search you mean
[19:00] <forHonor> zykotick9: should the java plugin work after installing icedtea6?
[19:00] <benbloom_> It had been working. then it stopped. i didn't change any configuration (that i know of)
[19:01] <zykotick9> forHonor: after you restart all open browser windows - yes
[19:01] <benbloom_> there were some software updates pushed from canonical
[19:01] <Ferrisnaut>  sipior, wine is producing an 'error 1314 privilege not held' on attempt to scan my registry D:
[19:01] <forHonor> cool thanks
[19:01] <bellman> how do u cron tab some thing that helps 2 free disc space
[19:01] <Ferrisnaut> i will attempt storing the registry on ram
[19:01] <skulltip> what is ubuntu orchestra server
[19:01] <skulltip> and do i want to enlist?
[19:01] <satyanash> Hi, I am running two separate X screens, is there any way to shift focus to the other screen using only the keyboard ? Without having to reach for my mouse and move it all the way to the other screen?
[19:02] <dr_willis> satyanash,  you mouse over to the right and can move windows to the right hand monitor via the mouse?
[19:02] <Ferrisnaut> it produces the same error
[19:03] <satyanash> dr_willis, I can move windows and all. I just want to switch focus between screens using the keyboard.
[19:03] <zykotick9> satyanash: if you can drag windows  from one to the other - that isn't separate X screens
[19:03] <dr_willis> satyanash,  you are not using 'two seperate X screens' :) you are using a single WIDE X display basically.
[19:03] <dr_willis> satyanash,  drag an app over to the 2nd monitor. alt-tab to select it.. perhaps.
[19:04] <satyanash> Oh, wait I AM using separate X screens, I cannot drag windows from one screen to the other.
[19:04] <dr_willis> satyanash,  but you can mouse over to the 2nd one?
[19:04] <dr_willis> I never use seperate X sessions/screens. :) never seen a need to use them
[19:04] <Ferrisnaut> I may have to run wine with admin privileges
[19:04] <satyanash> Mouse over, yes. moving windows between screens, no
[19:04] <dr_willis> satyanash,  whats your video card?
[19:05] <satyanash> my Xorg.conf was written for me by the Nvidia-settings tool. I have a 9400GT Nvidia Card.
[19:05] <satyanash> one DVI and one DSUB.
[19:05] <dr_willis> satyanash,  use the nvidia tool and dont use seperate X sessions/screens - just use twinview. then you could alt-tab or other combos to select the apps on the other display
[19:06] <SinnerNyx> i just did apt-get install bugzilla3. Am I not supposed to set up Apache somewhere? I don't see where bugzill's root directory is supposed to be. Can someone help me with this?
[19:06] <dr_willis> people rarely use seperate X screens.
[19:06] <satyanash> dr_willis, yes. But then when i switch workspaces, both screens would use up one huge workspace, right ?
[19:07] <dr_willis> satyanash,  not sure with unity in 11.xx  - i hear its much improved in 12.xx  but i only have a single monitor right now
[19:07] <satyanash> dr_willis, I am not using untiy.
[19:07] <dr_willis> I tend to just drag my video player to the 2nd monitor and play it fullscreened
[19:07] <benbloom_> dr_willis, It had been working. then it stopped. i didn't change any configuration (that i know of)
[19:08] <satyanash> dr_willis, I also want to run Xmonad on one monitor and fvwm2 on the other, Hence the separate X screens.
[19:08] <blup> isn't the mail command supposed to exist in ubuntu 10? ive installed postfix and it still says mail is not installed
[19:08] <recon_lap> benbloom_: maybe time to upgrade to a usb mouse :)
[19:08] <satyanash> currently I have Fvwm2 managing both the screens separately.
[19:08] <dr_willis> satyanash,  eww. :)  its possible alt-ctrl-f6 and f7 and f8 MIGHT focus the other one.. but ive never tried it.
[19:08] <MonkeyDust> satyanash  you want two window managers simultaneously?
[19:08] <benbloom_> thing is, I need to use a KVM switch with PS/2 between computers
[19:09] <benbloom_> dr_willis, thing is, I need to use a KVM switch with PS/2 between computers
[19:09] <satyanash> MonkeyDust, yes.
[19:09] <dr_willis> benbloom_,  try the mouse without the kvm. those things are notarious for causing issues...
[19:09] <zykotick9> benbloom_: have you tried without the kvm switch?
[19:09] <benbloom_> tried it zykotick9 dr_willis, doesn't work
[19:09] <dr_willis> KVMs seem to be the only reason PS2 mice and keybords still exist. :)
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> satyanash  try ctrl-alt F1 and then run a very light window manager
[19:10] <raj> how can I restart dolphin?
[19:10] <satyanash> MonkeyDust, ?
[19:10] <satyanash> MonkeyDust, it'll just complain that gdm is already running.
[19:10] <benbloom_> i also have a shortage of usb ports dr_willis
[19:10] <zykotick9> benbloom_: you are aware that PS/2 is not hot pluggable and restart would be required right?  also, NEVER unplug a PS/2 from a running system.  (sorry if that's stuff you already know)
[19:10] <SinnerNyx> I just installed bugzilla3 from the ubuntu repositories, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to access it by default
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> satyanash  idd
[19:10] <satyanash> I was thinking more like 2 gdms managing two screens
[19:11] <satyanash> So I could choose sessions.
[19:11] <benbloom_> hmm, zykotick9 that would be a problem with a KVM wouldn't it?
[19:11] <satyanash> separately for each monitor.
[19:11] <zykotick9> benbloom_: no?
[19:11] <benbloom_> doesn't the KVM effectively unplug the ps/2 while it's running?
[19:12] <zykotick9> benbloom_: it doesn't physically unplug it - and that's the issue
[19:12] <MonkeyDust> satyanash  i use two monitors, too, as we speak, but the second monitor is just the stretched out first monitor
[19:12] <satyanash> MonkeyDust, Yea, I don't want that.
[19:12] <benbloom_> ah. i didn't know that zykotick9. I'll do some troubleshooting now that i do
[19:13] <satyanash> MonkeyDust, because, when I press ctrl+alt+Up, both the screens would change to reflect whatever exists in the upper workspace.
[19:13] <dr_willis> satyanash,  try the alt-ctrl-F# keys.  anything to select the other monitor i imagine would have to function 'below' the window manager level.
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> satyanash  what i'm saying is: it's just one monitor, behaving like if it were two, but it still is just one
[19:13] <dr_willis> satyanash,  if you wanted an app to stay on one moniotor. you could just  make it 'sticky'
[19:13] <satyanash> dr_willis,  Tried, doesnt work.
[19:13] <ylmfos> hello
[19:13] <andrey_> hi guys
[19:14] <zykotick9> dr_willis: fyi that won't work - you could have multiple X sessions, each running the separate X sessions
[19:14] <dr_willis> or even have a multi-seat setup. :)
[19:14] <andrey_>  Plz help me ... :) Options in /etc/exports e.g. `... 192.168.1.2/29 (******)` and in `mount -t nfs -o "******" ...` have same meaning? I mean is there some difference if I put parameter e.g. `hard` in /etc/exports or in options of mount command?
[19:14] <donsd> What desktop am I using? Is there a command line I could type that would tell me?
[19:15] <dr_willis> donsd,  none that i know of.. what did you select at the login screen?
[19:15] <MonkeyDust> or Synergy mouse and desktop sharing
[19:15] <dr_willis> donsd,  try the help/about menu item of  your file manager perhaps.
[19:15] <dr_willis> Synergy is handy. :)
[19:16] <Escherial> hey, a few questions...first off, why do open/save dialogs in ubuntu 11.10 unity always open slightly wider than the screen? it's pretty annoying having to resize them every time to get them to fit
[19:16] <satyanash> MonkeyDust, What I dont want is: Something equal to running two computers on a single computer. controlled by the same mouse and keyboards. But displaying on 2 separate screens.
[19:16] <Escherial> i'm using dual monitors and my primary is wider than my secondary, so that may be the cause
[19:16] <zykotick9> andrey_: do you know what your doing with that /29 ?  your exporting to a subnet?  /24 would export to the 192.168.1.0 network.
[19:16] <donsd> dr_willis, I don't know. New installation and auto login. I think it's Unity, but don't know how to verify.
[19:16] <nyrpnz> Escherial: that would depend on your monitor size
[19:16] <satyanash> WANT, s/dont//
[19:16] <dr_willis> Escherial,  cant say that i have that issue on any of my linux boxs.  for 2 monitor setups i always use nvidia and its twinview feature.
[19:16] <macmartine> I'm using SFTP via OpenSSH. How do I change the directories that user can access?
[19:16] <dr_willis> donsd,  look at some unity screen shots.. default for ubuntu 11.10 is unity
[19:17] <donsd> dr_willis, I don't have a file manager. Nautilus is installed, according to Software Center, but
[19:17] <satyanash> MonkeyDust, dr_willis, heres something I found, http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Switchscreen
[19:17] <skulltip> how do i sudo to root in cli?
[19:17] <andrey_> <zykotick9: yeah, I know. This is my small home network, and 255.255.255.248 netmask is in router parameters already :)
[19:18] <dr_willis> donsd,  nautilus is the default file manager for unity/gnome
[19:18] <LxKermit> sudo su
[19:18] <Pici> skulltip: sudo -i   if you need an 'interactive' sudo session.
[19:18] <zykotick9> andrey_: ok, just checkin'.  Good luck.
[19:18] <donsd> I don't know how to get to it. It's not on panel at the left.
[19:18] <dr_willis> dont use 'sudo su' :)
[19:18] <LxKermit> hehehe
[19:19] <donsd> I probably removed it from panel, because I was running emelfm2, then uninstalled it.
[19:19] <andrey_> zykotick9: Thanks! ^^ But what about my Q? "is there some difference if I put parameter e.g. `hard` in /etc/exports or in options of mount command?"
[19:19] <Escherial> dr_willis: i'm pretty sure i'm using an intel HD mobile graphics chipset, if that helps; i haven't installed any special drivers afaik
[19:19] <zykotick9> andrey_: sorry i'm not sure
[19:20] <andrey_> zykotick9: me too..
[19:20] <dr_willis> donsd,  the top panel home icon laucnhes nautilus. unless you removed it.
[19:20] <zykotick9> andrey_: exports will determine what is possible from remote mount command
[19:20] <Escherial> does unity track which screen an application was last opened on? it's kind of frustrating having to move my windows around whenever i start an app
[19:21] <ironhalik> anyone tried using novatel gps on ubuntu?
[19:21] <dr_willis> Escherial,  with twinview and a wide desktop setup. it does here...
[19:21] <Escherial> dr_willis: twinview's unfortunately not an option for me, since i'm not using an nvidia card :|
[19:22] <Escherial> i'm surprised that this'd have anything to do with using software specific to your graphics card, in any case
[19:22] <dr_willis> Escherial,  dont recall if it did it or not on my intel netbooks.
[19:22] <Escherial> maybe it's time to stop using unity
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> Escherial  i don't use Unity, either, no shame in that (i hope) ;)
[19:22] <dr_willis> what if you dont have the 2nd moniotr plugged in. :)  where ya want it to go then?
[19:22] <skulltip> answer is - i have to set up root password first
[19:23] <donsd> dr_willis, screenshots, good idea. Thank you.
[19:23] <Escherial> dr_willis: i'd prefer an application to open on whichever monitor i have left in that case
[19:23] <andrey_> zykotick9: ok, I'll try to put same opts in file and in command for two mounts. As for me, there is no difference. So I checking right now )
[19:24] <Escherial> it just seems strange to me that every time i boot ubuntu and launch firefox, it opens on the wrong side and i have to drag it over to the right...then i open eclipse and it opens on the *other* monitor, causing me to have to drag it to the left
[19:24] <dr_willis> twinview basically gives extra 'hints' to the window manager about how windows should be placed/resized and so forth.
[19:24] <raj> how do I enable ubuntu's testing repo's so I can get the latest dolphin?
[19:24] <Escherial> dialogs for an application that are open on screen A oddly open on screen B
[19:24] <donsd> dr_willis, do you mean Dash Home? When I click that, I get icons.
[19:24] <dr_willis> eclipse is a java app isent it? Ive seen java apps do weird stuff
[19:24] <Escherial> dr_willis: is it possible to use twinview with an intel graphics card? i assume not, but that would be nice
[19:24] <satyanash> How is Twinview different from Xinerama >
[19:24] <dr_willis> like ignore window manager window placement hints.
[19:24] <Escherial> dr_willis: every app opens its dialogs on the wrong monitor and i have no idea why
[19:24] <dr_willis> satyanash,  twinview is xinerama+extras
[19:25] <satyanash> eh.
[19:25] <dr_willis> Escherial,  cgheck the monitors/displays tool and see what one is set as your 'primary' monitor
[19:25] <satyanash> Interesting,
[19:25] <Escherial> actually, that's not true...most of the time the dialogs appear on the correct screen
[19:25] <satyanash> What would those extras be ?
[19:25] <dr_willis> satyanash,  extra window manager hints about how the placements and stuff should be done.
[19:26] <dr_willis> ie: if you fullscreen the window.. dont streatch across both monitors. :)  and other things
[19:26] <donsd> dr_willis, if I type nautilus in search, I get two icons.... Ah, there it is.
[19:26] <Escherial> i have the displays tool open, but there doesn't seem to be a setting for primary or secondary; my laptop's monitor (my intended primary) is colored in pink, if that helps
[19:26] <MonkeyDust> satyanash  http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=387&num=1
[19:26] <satyanash> So, I guess Xinerama just inflates the workspace. While Twinview does it intelligently ?
[19:26] <andrey_> zykotick9: Hmmm I was wrong. Option `hard` seems have to be only in `mount -o` place, not in /etc/exports... Because output of exportfs is something like "unknown keyword "hard""
[19:26] <dr_willis> satyanash,  basicvally. AMD/ATI has a similer thing i recall.
[19:26] <Escherial> it also has the menu up top on it, so i assume it's the primary
[19:26] <timmy> what is the best file system type for storing an archive of movies on an external hdd and why?
[19:26] <donsd> dr_willis, thanks.  This is the reason I wanted to know what desktop I was running.
[19:26] <satyanash> so Twinview is Nvidia only ?
[19:27] <donsd> dr_willis, to find Nautilus.  You were great help.
[19:27] <dr_willis> Escherial,  unity has some goofy things about it when using two monitors.. 12.x has improved that i hear
[19:27] <recon_lap> timmy: usb3 :)
[19:27] <zykotick9> andrey_: ya, i have no idea what "hard" option even is.  Sorry if I misled you.
[19:27] <Escherial> dr_willis: thank goodness :) i guess i'll stop complaining and wait for 12.x
[19:27] <dr_willis> donsd,  by default its the top house icon  on your panel.
[19:27] <medie> How can I make dpkg -i force a fix of all dependencies?
[19:27] <Escherial> since i don't think i'll be able to sort this out without patching the software myself :\
[19:27] <andrey_> zykotick9 It's ok, dont worry )
[19:27] <dr_willis> Escherial,   or go test it in 12.x and file bugs :)
[19:28] <timmy> recon_lap, thank u, how old are u?
[19:28] <Escherial> dr_willis: ah, or that, heh :3
[19:28] <Escherial> well, thanks for hearing me out, anyway
[19:28] <dr_willis> I dont have 2 monitor setup to test the features

[19:29] <SixtyFold> anyone else have the program universal USB install that is linked to from UBUNTU as a trojan horse?
[19:29] <recon_lap>  timmy: old enough , just making a joke
[19:29] <dr_willis> SixtyFold,  huh? clarify what you mean.
[19:29] <SixtyFold> avg is now telling me it contains a trojan horse after ive used it to make bootable usbs for lubuntu and even win7
[19:29] <timmy> recon_lap, ahah, kuz im not here to listen to a jok
[19:30] <SixtyFold> the executable for the program
[19:30] <dr_willis> SixtyFold,  could be a false positive.
[19:30] <SixtyFold> could be
[19:30] <helo__> hello, I am trying to modify my partitions and can't figure out how to move my linux partition. Current layout is 205GiB unallocated, then a 25 GiB extended partition with the EXT and swap in it. How can I move the OS to the beginning of the drive? (remnant of when Windows was at the beginning)
[19:30] <medie> helo__: why does it matter where it is?
[19:31] <dr_willis> Hmm. not sure you can move stuff out of an extended partition. I always use primaries. so i dont recall ever trying.
[19:31] <SixtyFold> but really i am curious if anyone else has had this show up and if so with what AV program
[19:31] <medie> Also how do I remove fgxrl and all of it? apt-get remove *fgxrl*?
[19:31] <zykotick9> helo__: you may have an issue moving anything is swap is active
[19:31] <Marchitos> i am going to installa 11.10 on an i5 laptop, is the ASPM patch already included in the official repo?
[19:32] <Oer> SixtyFold, avg is telling you the bootrecord of the usb is about to be changed, known issue
[19:32] <SixtyFold> i have no usb in my computer or the program running
[19:32] <SixtyFold> this is just a daily scan
[19:33] <SixtyFold> are you saying it scans the code of the exe and finds that the program will change the boot record?
[19:33] <lamofgodrocksYEA> What is the best way to flush out DNS cache in ubuntu?
[19:33] <Guest71750> medie: yes, you can also remove its config using apt-get remove --purge fgxrl
[19:33] <Oer> SixtyFold, yes. that could trigger the scan, so it is false positive.
[19:33] <medie> Guest71750: can I have stars after purge and is it a good idea?
[19:34] <SixtyFold> oer: weird, i dont understand why it takes days of the program being on my system for avg to find it
[19:34] <helo__> medie: The beginning of a HDD is faster due to the rotation and physics of a cylindrical disc
[19:34] <helo__> zykotick9: I booted to a live ubuntu USB and am running gparted, nothing is mounted on the disk
[19:34] <SixtyFold> oh well, i dont need that program for a grip again anyways, just curious, thanks for the insite Oer, i didnt think about that
[19:34] <medie> helo__: In theory: yes, noticable in daily use: no. But if you have to move it, use a gparted livecd
[19:35] <zykotick9> helo__: try "free" in a terminal - does it show swap?
[19:35] <Oer> SixtyFold, it should immediatly, makes me wonder about AVG... no need for a antivirus in Ubuntu, that makes me really relaxed. * for 3 years now
[19:35] <helo__> zykotick9: it does
[19:36] <zykotick9> helo__: that's automatic.  "sudo swapoff -a" might work
[19:36] <SixtyFold> Oer: yah, i still use clamsav and bleachbit in my lubuntu install anyways though
[19:36] <MonkeyDust> Marchitos  here's the latest relevant news http://askubuntu.com/questions/78991/kernel-patch-that-solves-battery-issues-when-for-ubuntu

[19:37] <medie> Is 8GB ram enough for ubuntu or should I get more?
[19:37] <SixtyFold> yes MediaDoneRight
[19:37] <SixtyFold> err

[19:37] <SixtyFold> medie yes
[19:38] <dr3mro> medie, 8G more than enough
[19:38] <Oer> medie it could be enough, 1 Gb minimum
[19:38] <SixtyFold> medie: it really depends on what youre going to do, but to just run ubuntu with gnome3 as a personaly computer, youre golden

[19:39] <Mech0z> it just hang at bootscreen
[19:39] <dr_willis> Mech0z, at the ... animation?  you mean
[19:39] <dr3mro> dr_willis, zram_swap :)
[19:39] <Mech0z> dr_willis the purple boot screen
[19:39] <zykotick9> Mech0z: have you tried nomodeset?
[19:39] <Mech0z> zykotick9 what?
[19:39] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | Mech0z
[19:39] <dr3mro> zram_swap makes 1 GB of ram compete with 2 GB of ram
[19:40] <dr_willis> Mech0z,  theres the 'nofb nosplash noquiet nomodeset' optiuons that can disapble that splash and other things to give you text messages on boot
[19:40] <drklunk> hello
[19:40] <WouterDS> No one who can help me :(

[19:40] <ssta> WouterDS: ask a question, maybe someone can
[19:40] <dr3mro> WouterDS, ?
[19:40] <medie> How do I remove the fgxlr driver and all its components?
[19:40] <dr_willis> WouterDS,  ask a more specific question perhaps
[19:40] <WouterDS> Anyone with good knowledge of iptables that is willing to help me?
[19:40] <WouterDS> Oh
[19:40] <ssta> WouterDS: that's not a question...that's asking whether you can ask. Just ask
[19:40] <theTroy> Hi, I am trying to make a RAM disk with tmpfs, and it seems to work ok, but whenever I try to copy a large amount of small fiels to it, it says it is out of space, while properties show that it still has 56 MB of space left
[19:40] <WouterDS> Euhm, I've created a topic 2 days ago
[19:41] <WouterDS> but no one has replied yet
[19:41] <Escherial> is there an alternate way to connect to an sftp server so i can edit some text files in kate?
[19:41] <WouterDS> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1937313
[19:41] <Escherial> also, "Rape-Bot"? that seems in awfully poor taste :|
[19:41] <dr_willis> Escherial,  sshfs is very handy
[19:41] <zykotick9> theTroy: check "df -i" output
[19:41] <spaceneedle> Why am I unable to update  the transmission bittorrent  blocklist?  It says it has zero rules.
[19:41] <dr_willis> spaceneedle,  you downloaded a blocklist from somewhere? or gave it a url to a list?
[19:42] <theTroy> zykotick9: it shows those 54 MB free
[19:42] <medie> Ubuntu stopped using synaptic?
[19:42] <theTroy> but copying with nautilus causes the error
[19:42] <Myrtti> WouterDS: take that bot elsewhere
[19:42] <SixtyFold> Oer: oh btw, avg did an update today, so maybe in that update it had something referencing to that as a false positive, idk, i wonder about all AV programs sometimes, haha
[19:42] <zykotick9> theTroy: "df -i" doesn't show MB - welcome to /ignore
[19:42] <spaceneedle> where do I get a blocklist?
[19:43] <tbocs> /etc/modprobe.d
[19:43] <theTroy> zykotick9: ... I implied that the % of space remaining was the 54MB
[19:43] <tbocs> spaceneedle, /etc/modprobe.d
[19:43] <dr_willis> spaceneedle,  theres sites with them. the transmission forums/faq i think mention some.
[19:43] <dr_willis> tbocs,  not blacklist. :) a torret block list.
[19:43] <tbocs> -_-||| sorry
[19:43] <Oer> SixtyFold, likely after update, it starts a new scan...
[19:44] <one> hola soy novato
[19:44] <dr_willis> spaceneedle,  even blocklists are not that safe.  best to use some vpn/proxy anonymizeing service if you are worried about things
[19:45] <SixtyFold> Oer: well, it was in the middle of its daily scan and i stopped it b/c i noticed it had a new update, then i restarted it, so the new update im sure has to do with it, because ive had that exe on my puter for like 8 days and its never found it until now
[19:45] <medie> What is the command to sort out shit apt has made?
[19:46] <dr_willis> medie,  clarify what you mean.
[19:46] <arcnewuss> my wireless is not working in 11.10 with artheros but the mac shows in ifconfig?
[19:46] <medie> It has three malconfigured packages, I want it to fix the dependencies and make the packages work
[19:46] <medie> dr_willis:
[19:46] <pangolin> medie: please mind the language
[19:46] <WouterDS> Any iptables expert?
[19:46] <medie> Malconfigured?
[19:46] <dr_willis> misconfigured? :)
[19:46] <satyanash> How can I launch Libreoffice spreadsheet or word processor directly from command line ?
[19:46] <dr_willis> WouterDS,  ask your actual question about iptables.. dont ask if people use it, know it. or love it...
[19:47] <medie> dr_willis: it is like -i or force or something, it makes apt sort everything out
[19:47] <WouterDS> I can't paste the whole topic here right?
[19:47] <Mech0z> dr_willis GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" did not help, it keeps being at the purple screen
[19:47] <dr_willis> satyanash,  its like librewrite librecalc or somthing.. like that
[19:47] <WouterDS> My question: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1937313
[19:47] <SixtyFold> satyanash, know the name and type it
[19:47] <SixtyFold> yah
[19:47] <dr_willis> Mech0z,  you did rerun update-grub after altering the grub configs?
[19:47] <Mech0z> yes
[19:47] <dr_willis> Mech0z,  i think i suggested to  try 'noquiet nosplash nofb'
[19:48] <Mech0z> dr_willis will try that
[19:48] <satyanash> dr_willis, librewrite, librecalc don't work ?
[19:48] <dr_willis> nosplash = kills the amimations
[19:48] <ssta> satyanash: localc, lowrite, lobase, etc
[19:48] <dr_willis> satyanash,  no idea. I dont use  the offica apps
[19:48] <dr_willis> used to be oowrite and oocalc
[19:48] <medie> Like, is my apt dead forever? I need synaptic to sort this out but can't install packages because apt is whining about removing packages it is installing
[19:48] <oCean> WouterDS: there are #netfilter and #openvpn channels on this network as well.
[19:48] <satyanash> ssta: aah.. that works. Thank you.
[19:49] <arcnewuss> ifconfig wlan0 up seems to bring my card up but i cant see any network
[19:49] <dr_willis> lo = libre office, vs oo = openoffice :) i guess.
[19:49] <arcnewuss> i use wicd
[19:49] <SixtyFold> medie: do you have the GUI package installer running?
[19:49] <ssta> the manpage still has ooFOO.  Documentation as always lags behind reality :)

[20:08] <A-Lusion> sigh
[20:08] <ssta> whether what it's doing is a good idea is a different question
[20:08] <zykotick9> rethus1: break up the file, or use a better filesystem
[20:08] <ssta> rethus1: split command
[20:09] <ssta> although perhaps that's only for testfiles
[20:09] <rethus1> is there also a combiine command?
[20:09] <sowhat> rethus1, you can use Winrar to split your file in smaller parts. FAT doesnt support large files
[20:10] <ssta> rethus1: the combine command is cat
[20:10] <rethus1> can i use tar.gz to split it?
[20:10] <medie> How do I stop tearing?
[20:10] <ssta> rethus1: not for a single file, not really
[20:10] <arcnewuss> theadmin, thank you I will try out solution a)
[20:11] <raj> how can I enable the test repo for ubuntu?
[20:11] <theadmin> raj: Doesn't have one
[20:11] <raj> oh
[20:11] <raj> so no dolphin 2.0?
[20:11] <theadmin> raj: If you want unstable software, you can try the beta of Ubuntu, i.e. Precise Pangolin. Join #ubuntu+1 to find out how.
[20:12] <theadmin> I'm away for now
[20:12] <raj> k
[20:12] <raj> thanks
[20:12] <A-Lusion> I heard it's pretty damn stable.
[20:12] <skulltip> what's a lightweight window manager i can download to my currently window-less server without 'hijacking' or bloating it? basically want to download packings via web browser than typing it in
[20:14] <rethus1> is there a way for a direct connectoin with kubuntu and xubuntu in same network?
[20:14] <ironhalik> How can I find on what USB port what devie is?
[20:14] <satyanash> skulltip, Fvwm2 ?
[20:14] <medie> rethus1: yes
[20:14] <skulltip> thanks
[20:14] <rethus1> medie: thanks. but which one
[20:15] <medie> rethus1: Not sure what you are trying to do
[20:15] <generalsnus> Ubuntu 11.10 : Is there a way to make OnBoard(onscreen keyb), automaticly popup when tapping a textfield? (Touchscreen)
[20:15] <rethus1> medie: copy a large file
[20:15] <Seryth> I've got mpd + ncmpcpp, but when I hit play it won't play :( it's just saying it's paused.... :/
[20:16] <medie> rethus1: ethernet cable between them, manual ipsetup and sftp?
[20:16] <pricox> !list
[20:17] <zykotick9> Seryth: as an alternative to mpd, i really like moc (aka mocp) for a terminal music player
[20:17] <medie> pricox: LOL, to move a file / have a network server is very much relevant here
[20:17] <Seryth> zykotick9: I'll check it out, thanks
[20:18] <medie> pricox: There where no indication that was in any way copyrigth infringement
[20:18] <dada25> salve
[20:18] <dada25> !list
[20:19] <Mech0z> Can this be the reason I cant boot http://pastebin.com/npHXp7Yx even though I have bootdegraded=true
[20:19] <Jordan_U> medie: "!list" is a command common in file sharing channels / networks. When someone comes into #ubuntu and says only "!list" it's usually because they're looking for warez, which is not the purpose of this channel (or network).
[20:20] <medie> Jordan_U: Oh, I thougth they where yelling at me for helping rethus1 moving a file
[20:21] <A-Lusion> Is pendrive the #1 for bootable usbs atm?
[20:21] <A-Lusion> and multiboot usb
[20:21] <medie> Pendrive?
[20:22] <A-Lusion> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[20:22] <xonix> when im playing a flash video, flash is skipping really fast through the video
[20:23] <rethus1> so no easy way to direct connect?
[20:24] <Fyodorovna> A-Lusion, no data on that really.
[20:24] <medie> rethus1: What could be easier than the way I said?
[20:24] <medie> Or with a wireless ad-hoc network
[20:24] <rethus1> medie: open dolphin, going to networks and copy direktly to the other pc - will be easyer
[20:25] <medie> rethus1: Then do that?
[20:25] <rethus1> i see the other laptop, but can't open or handle it
[20:27] <gimpy46> I have the parter repo enabled on 10.10 but I don't see the package vmware-view-client, why?
[20:28] <theadmin> !find vmware-view-client maverick
[20:28] <albech> after installing gnome on my ubuntu server 10.04 i start gdm and get the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/875119/
[20:28] <theadmin> gimpy46: ^
[20:28] <albech> i still see no graphical interface after starting gdm
[20:28] <gimpy46> theadmin: What is app-install-data-partner?
[20:28] <theadmin> gimpy46: The package where you can find the "vmware-view-client" binary.
[20:29] <trism> gimpy46: did you: sudo apt-get update; after adding partner?
[20:29] <bastidrazor> albech: did you run that command in a tty?
[20:29] <trism> gimpy46: after that, sudo apt-get install vmware-view-client; should get it
[20:30] <trism> gimpy46: although, hmm, are you on amd64?
[20:30] <gimpy46> theadmin: I already had that and i don't think I have vmware-view-client.  Another box running 11.10 shows it under the name "vmware-view-client".
[20:30] <albech> bastidrazor, i ran it from the xencenter console which supports graphical interfaces
[20:30] <gimpy46> trism: Yes and yes.
[20:30] <trism> gimpy46: that may be an issue, there is only an i386 build in partner, we see it on oneiric because of multiarch
[20:30] <theadmin> gimpy46: I see. Hm. Odd. Well. I'm not into vmware nor Ubuntu so I'm just firing random suggestions provided to me by common sense, sorry
[20:30] <albech> bastidrazor, i just want to install a vnc server and do vnc connects to the server really
[20:31] <velko> !bg
[20:31] <bastidrazor> albech: normally a GUI runs on tty7.  switch to that tty. ctrl-alt-F7
[20:33] <trism> gimpy46: and as far as I can see, it isn't installable in oneiric amd64 either
[20:35] <gimpy46> trism: Shit.
[20:36] <A-Lusion> I got a bunch of stuff to start getting a little more personal with my hardware
[20:36] <A-Lusion> so I am going to name them. I need a theme...
[20:36] <A-Lusion> My question is
[20:37] <A-Lusion> Is there a way to have custom startup boot animations or music
[20:37] <svensk_a1> is there a way to delay a command? eg sudo rm (a directory i am not allowed to type) wait 44 705 645.1 minutes
[20:37] <gimpy46> svensk_a1: sleep 5 ; echo "I just woke up!"
[20:37] <wolfric> using disk utility, i can see 2 500 gig hard drives in a raid however the raid component doesn't have a mount option, how exactly do i mount this? I'm booted off a usb stick, raid 0 windows install on the hard drive
[20:38] <marketplace> hello
[20:38] <theadmin> svensk_a1: Kind of: alias 'your command'='sleep 5; your command'
[20:38] <marketplace> i have to go to toilet
[20:38] <theadmin> marketplace: This is not Twitter, this is the Ubuntu support channel. You are looking for http://twitter.com
[20:39] <sae> Hi
[20:39] <Jordan_U> wolfric: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"?
[20:39] <marketplace> Yes only wanted to say that
[20:39] <marketplace> so that nobody complains
[20:39] <marketplace> That i do not answer
[20:39] <guntbert> !ot | marketplace
[20:39] <Estherka> hey, is it possible to make audio cds autoplay when inserted?
[20:39] <marketplace> !ot | guntbert
[20:39] <marketplace> ah okay its okay
[20:39] <sae> I have a question regarding xubuntu 11.10
[20:39] <theadmin> sae: Just ask the question
[20:40] <sae> running xubuntu 11.10 and seeing the following error message:error while loading shared libraries: libgdk-1.2.so.0
[20:40] <Estherka> it opens banshee automatically, but doesn't play the cd
[20:40] <theadmin> Estherka: Maybe Banshee has some kind of "play on startup" option?
[20:41] <wolfric> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/H2n5LnKU
[20:41] <Estherka> theadmin: i wish it had, but nope, none that i've seen
[20:41] <krambiorix> hi guys, in ubuntu 12.04 i open the terminal but nothing comes in it???
[20:41] <MattMc> I have a question or two about linking a directory to another directory
[20:41] <SnipeMeNot> Hi
[20:41] <theadmin> krambiorix: Precise is unstable and unsupported.
[20:41] <guntbert> !12.04 | krambiorix
[20:41] <theadmin> MattMc: Just ask the actual questions
[20:41] <SnipeMeNot> Im still bothered about my usb not being able to boot
[20:41] <SnipeMeNot> Does it need to be on mbr or guid
[20:41] <aaGp> how can I check what port do I have open?
[20:41] <Jordan_U> wolfric: It's interesting that blkid only finds one raid member.
[20:42] <krambiorix> guntbert, theadmin yeah i upgraded, i thought i was upgrading to 11.10
[20:42] <krambiorix> guntbert, theadmin can i downgrade??
[20:42] <wolfric> Jordan_U: disk utility sees the two as far as i know
[20:42] <theadmin> krambiorix: Nope, going to have to reinstall.
[20:42] <Jordan_U> SnipeMeNot: Either an msdos partition table, or a GUID partition table should be bootable on BIOS systems.
[20:42] <sae> SnipeMeNot, who is the manufacturer of your motherboard?
[20:42] <guntbert> krambiorix: no, you cannot, sorry
[20:42] <Jordan_U> wolfric: One of the devices is /dev/sda, what is the other?
[20:42] <SnipeMeNot> I think its intel
[20:42] <krambiorix> theadmin, guntbert can i install without deleting all data on my disk?
[20:43] <SnipeMeNot> When i use cpuz the brand of the laptop comes out
[20:43] <SnipeMeNot> I use phoenix bios
[20:43] <SnipeMeNot> Ive been bothered
[20:43] <theadmin> krambiorix: Theoretically, depends on how you've partitioned during the initial install
[20:43] <guntbert> krambiorix: yes, you can, but having a good backup is recommended
[20:44] <SnipeMeNot> Curious why i have so many fail attemps
[20:44] <guntbert> !enter | SnipeMeNot
[20:44] <krambiorix> ok thx! i'll try
[20:44] <sae> SnipeMeNot, what error message do you see?
[20:44] <SnipeMeNot> Oops sorty
[20:44] <guntbert> krambiorix: wait
[20:44] <wolfric> Jordan_U: 2 secs
[20:44] <SnipeMeNot> Its either, no os or os will install but stop half way
[20:45] <guntbert> krambiorix: please read a little on how to do that - it is not really straightforward
[20:45] <sae> SnipeMeNot, which OS are you trying to install?
[20:45] <SnipeMeNot> Ubuntu osx and windows
[20:45] <SnipeMeNot> All of those
[20:46] <theadmin> SnipeMeNot: Hard disk failure methinks.
[20:46] <wolfric> Jordan_U: http://azcld.dyndns.info/disk-util.png
[20:46] <SnipeMeNot> Its a new usb, whenever i use the old crappy one that my dog chewed it goes through
[20:46] <sae> SnipeMeNot, have you tried a live CD and test the hard drive?
[20:46] <SnipeMeNot> Yes it worked i have ubuntu 11.10 atm
[20:46] <wolfric> Jordan_U: get it?
[20:47] <SnipeMeNot> Im just bothered by it
[20:47] <stephenh> hi, is anyone using some kinda neat ssl proxy for non ssl aware applications?
[20:47] <wolfric> i'm going to assume so since 3 ips just snatched it
[20:47]  * stephenh is questing for one but so far only found a tls proxy
[20:48] <wolfric> fuck actually a hell of a lot more just grabbed it, like 27 lol
[20:49] <guntbert> stephenh: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[20:49] <guntbert> !language | wolfric
[20:49] <wolfric> woops
[20:49] <stephenh> it's not, it's a linux question
[20:49] <stephenh> this is a linux channel
[20:49] <stephenh> lots of people, pretty active
[20:49] <stephenh> thought someone might know of one
[20:49] <stephenh> ;/
[20:49] <guntbert> !ot | stephenh
[20:50] <wolfric> stephenh: stunnel
[20:51] <stephenh> to be fair, if that was the case guntbert, a lot of questions posted here would get that response
[20:51] <stephenh> **just saying**
[20:51] <helo__> So I moved the my partitions around and my system won't boot, can someone help me fix! I have a live ubuntu USB at my disposal.
[20:51] <DoYouKnow> for some reason my mouse cursor is "all over the place", when I move the touchpad on my xps m1530 laptop running 11.10
[20:52] <DoYouKnow> this has happened in the latest updates, it wasn't an issue before
[20:52] <DoYouKnow> afaik
[20:52] <Jordan_U> wolfric: It's odd, because at the same time this disk utility is claiming that sdb is somehow part of an array, and yet /dev/sdb1 is a mountable partition in and of itself.
[20:53] <nishttal2> has anyone been able to connect to a Exchange 2007 server for email??
[20:53] <wolfric> Jordan_U: yup... anything i can further do to diagnose it?
[20:54] <Jordan_U> wolfric: Try "sudo parted -l". You could also try mounting /dev/sdb1 and see if it gets you what you want. Since there is obviously something I'm not understanding about this though I can't guarantee that attempting to mount /dev/sdb1 will be safe.
[20:56] <SnipeMeNot> I cleared the usb flashdrive i guess the problem was, it was jumping from os to os
[20:56] <wolfric> Jordan_U: Error: /dev/sda: unrecognised disk label
[20:56] <wolfric> Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
[20:56] <NortheastMc> When I type 'mount' I have the same entry listed about 100 times. Does this make sense?
[20:57] <guntbert> NortheastMc: what entry? send it to a !pastebin please
[20:57] <Jordan_U> wolfric: That makes sense since /dev/sda is a member of a raid0 array. It's possible that /dev/sdb is the "first" member of the array, and so has the blocks containing the partition table.
[20:58] <NortheastMc> "/mnt/usr/qb on /data/home/planning/Quickbooks type none (rw,bind)"
[20:58] <DoYouKnow> oh, I fixed it
[20:58] <nishttal2> am i the only one who wants to connect to work email from Ubuntu
[20:58] <Jordan_U> wolfric: But that doesn't explain how /dev/sdb1 can appear to contain a valid ntfs filesystem as well.
[20:58] <helo__> How can I reinstall / fix grup without reinstalling ubuntu
[20:59] <Jordan_U> helo__: What about your grub installation is broken?
[20:59] <helo__> I get a non-system disk or disk error and cannot boot after moving my linux partition
[21:00] <guntbert> !who | NortheastMc
[21:01] <helo__> Jordan_U: I moved my linux partition from the end of the drive to the beginning (after removing windows)
[21:01] <Jordan_U> helo__: This guide will probably allow you to boot again https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot , but I'd personally like to see boot info script output as your symptoms are not normal for having just moved a partition.
[21:01] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | helo__
[21:01] <guntbert> NortheastMc: it looks like you did several "bind mounts" - please look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount, search for    bind    on this page
[21:02] <NortheastMc> guntbert, Thanks. Hafta beat people around the office...
[21:03] <guntbert> NortheastMc: you're welcome :-) , it might be that some install script did it :-)
[21:03] <sw0rdfish> http://imgur.com/PxJVI which font is responsible for the desktop?
[21:03] <NortheastMc> !guntbert, Do you think I am safe to remove most of those?
[21:04] <alo21> help me... please
[21:04] <xpololz> how can I move the minimize/close/maximize buttons to the right hand side in the windows? all guides I found on google tells me to go to /apps/metacity/general but there is no such tab in my gconf-editor
[21:05] <helo__> Jordan_U: Since I moved the partition, I'm guessing grub doesn't know where it's config is anymore... I'm going to try this fix. Thanks. Back with results in a few
[21:06] <guntbert> NortheastMc: I'd guess so, but I never had bind mounts "in circles" -  I would not expect that to hurt your system - alternative: look if there is anything in /etc/fstab about that and then reboot
[21:08] <aaGp> excuse me, how can I check what ports do my firewall allows?? or how can I add a port in my firewall ??
[21:08] <ikonia> ufw - ubuntu firewall gui
[21:09] <aaGp> ikonia: how can I access to that?
[21:09] <ikonia> aaGp: youu type it into the run menu or from a terminal
[21:09] <ikonia> !ufw | aaGp
[21:09] <NortheastMc> Which is better for creating a link to a directory? ln -s or mount --bind?
[21:10] <ikonia> NortheastMc: depends on your needs
[21:10] <meerkats> where in unity I get to change internet settings?
[21:10] <meerkats> its not in compiz
[21:10] <meerkats> 11.10
[21:10] <ikonia> compiz is a decorator
[21:10] <meerkats> a...
[21:10] <NortheastMc> ikonia I guess I don't know. When I run "mount" I want to be able to see a new folder listed that points to a different local folder.
[21:11] <aaGp> ikonia: nothing appear in the start menu
[21:11] <ikonia> NortheastMc: why is important that "mount" shows it
[21:11] <ikonia> NortheastMc: what's your end goal (it can't be to make something show up in the mount command)
[21:11] <NortheastMc> ikonia Because monitoring software that I use references what "is mounted on"
[21:11] <ikonia> NortheastMc: ok - so what sort of monitoring are you doing ?
[21:11] <ikonia> NortheastMc: eg: what is the monitoring looking for ?
[21:12] <NortheastMc> ikonia Using SSH to determine disk free/used/etc. Trying to get metrics against how much space a folder is taking up and how long it takes to fill it up
[21:12] <ikonia> NortheastMc: ok - so then use "du -h" on that directory
[21:12] <ikonia> NortheastMc: mount binding a directory isn't the way to do that
[21:13] <WouterDS_> Anyone who can help with this matter? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1937313
[21:13] <NortheastMc> ikonia The application I am running... Hmm... You may be on to something.
[21:13] <ikonia> NortheastMc: a directory isn't "free space" the device is free space (which is already mounted) so monitor the device rather than the directory
[21:13] <ikonia> NortheastMc: you either need to (in my view) a.) show how much space is in that directory (du -h) or b.) monitor the device that directory lives on (eg: if it's /var/tmp/directory - where is /var mounted in the "mount" command)
[21:13] <NortheastMc> ikonia To me, monitoring the device makes sense, but management wants to know about growth. I will see if I can actually leverage the application to return the du -shc command.
[21:13] <ikonia> NortheastMc: get it ?
[21:17] <meerkats> can I only edit proxy settings from a web browser? cant I set general ubuntu proxy settings?
[21:17] <tojochacko> While upgrading to Precise(12.04) from Oneiric(11.10) my computer rebooted. After that my unity session won't start. Somehow I managed to explicitly start the unity session using 'startx' command and finish my upgrade. Now everytime my computer reboots, I need to issue the 'startx' command else my Unity won't start. Can someone please help me with this issue?

[21:41] <vicium> Hi guys. Is there any way to check bandwith usage? And possibly assign bandwith to 2 diferent applications. Or capping it.
[21:41] <vicium> I have a 100/100 line, suggested atleast ISP says. I'd like to split it between 2 server applications.
[21:41] <vicium> Or 40/40 + 20 for everything else.
[21:42] <no-name-> hmm, I'm getting the "Starting automatic crash report generation [Fail]" problem that seems to have been a problem for people running 11.04, but I'm running xubuntu 11.10. Guess I should just remove apport?
[21:44] <vicium> Also, is there a command to check CPU usage?
[21:44] <zykotick9> vicium: top
[21:44] <vicium> Ugh.
[21:45] <vicium> How the hell is that possible. I'm running a cs server that uses 64%? -.-
[21:45] <vicium> Machine is 4 cpus, 16 gb ram
[21:45] <bastidrazor> cs? crappy server?
[21:45] <vicium> Yeah...
[21:45] <vicium> Pretty much
[21:46] <Jordan_U> helo__: I'm still waiting for boot info script output.
[21:46] <bc81> hey there.  i'm having trouble trying to install/build transmission 2.50 on maverick.. when i ./configure, it stops here: "checking for LIBCURL... configure: error: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.15.4) were not met:"
[21:46] <bc81> any ideas on how to get that latest version up and running on maverick?
[21:48] <bc81> or maybe there is a .deb file i can get somewhere?
[21:48] <ribhoo> hi ppl
[21:48] <dagerik> spotify crashes after loggin in. running 10.04. What causes this?
[21:49] <trism> bc81: since transmission is already in the repo, sudo apt-get build-dep transmission; should help you get the dependencies if you really want to build
[21:49] <StevenR> dagerik: run it from a terminal, do you get any error output?
[21:49] <demonspork> dagerik: no idea, but spotify for linux is a _preview_, it isn't even called beta. Don't expect it to work well.
[21:49] <no-name-> what's the command to search packages installed on your system?
[21:49] <dagerik> StevenR: yeah: QDBusArgument: write from a read-only object
[21:49] <dagerik> Segmentation fault
[21:50] <bc81> trism: ok, thanks i'll try that..so i'll be able to build the 'latest' stable build (2.50) after that?
[21:50] <bastidrazor> no-name-: there is 'dpkg -S packagename' and 'apt-cache policy packagename'
[21:51] <trism> bc81: possibly, may need patches for the libs in maverick, hard to say until you try to build
[21:51] <no-name-> bastidrazor: ty :)
[21:51] <trism> bc81: or have new additional dependencies
[21:51] <ribhoo> ! dpkg no-name-:

[21:53] <Fyodorovna> anli__, nothing hides when the path is correct
[21:53] <anli__> So if I serach for .svn, I would get a list of all .svn directories?
[21:53] <extor> Does gnome have something similar to windows RDP where you can run programs remotely, detach and then reattach to your screen without crashing your apps? Is Xvnc such a trick?
[21:53] <Fyodorovna> anli__, if done correctly yes
[21:53] <anli__> Fyodorovna: how can it be done incorrectly?
[21:54] <Fyodorovna> anli__, not I just know the search can be done.
[21:54] <matteo__> ciao
[21:54] <anli__> I search for .svn and get an empty result
[21:54] <Fyodorovna> sure*
[21:54] <craigbass1976> I need suns java, and every once in a while I install something that brings openjdk with it.  This screws up an app I need ot run.  Now I want to uninstall openjdk, and it wants to take libroffice base with it.  I see no reason for this, but no way to "uncheck" it.
[21:54] <bastidrazor> matteo__: hello
[21:55] <Lyte101> Any tips on getting notification bubble back? only see it when I adjust volume
[21:55] <craigbass1976> Oh, forget it.  synaptic doesn't take everything with it, just the runtime enviroment
[21:56] <Fyodorovna> Lyte101, when are you expecting it?
[21:56] <Lyte101> Fyodorovna, expecting email notifys from thunderbird or tweets from gwibber
[21:57] <Fyodorovna> Lyte101, what desktop, it should be working, but the desktop may matter.
[21:57] <bc81> trism: ok, thanks :)  now i'm getting "Package requirements (libevent >= 2.0.10) were not met:" how could i go about patching the libs? (or maybe there's an easier way to install this?)
[21:57] <Lyte101> Fyodorovna, using ubuntu 11.10
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> Lyte101, strange it should be running, are you sure your always looking at the screen when it might come up just once.
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> you're
[21:58] <Lyte101> Fyodorovna, I've tried using notify-send from terminal but that also doesn't display anything
[21:59] <ivan143> ciaol
[21:59] <greenit> hi, how can i make my computer "visible" for other computers in the network, so that they do not have to know my ip-addr, like in windows-networks?
[21:59] <Lyte101> Fyodorovna, actually didn't even noticed it wasn't displaying for a week so not sure what caused it to stop
[21:59] <ivan143> ciao
[22:00] <ivan143> *list
[22:00] <Fyodorovna> Lyte101, not sure here either.
[22:00] <YohanMeister> how to I get git for ubuntu 10,04? when I do a search in synaptic "git" I get this whole big list of stuff and not sure which things I need. Also, I've never used git before but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need some sort of front end for accessing it.
[22:00] <Lyte101> Fyodorovna, ok thanks tho
[22:02] <bc81> one question, how do i tell if my laptop is i686 CPU or x86-64 CPU?
[22:02] <cfhowlett> Did the Dell Restore successfully and rebooted.  Autologin to OEM account.  Need the adminstrative password to restore user accounts.  *What is OEM's sudo password?*  It is NOT sudo ...
[22:02] <bc81> yes, i'm that noob
[22:02] <bastidrazor> bc81: uname -m in a terminal
[22:02] <bc81> thanks bastidrazor
[22:03] <anli__> If I understand it right, there has been a bug in over 4 years about not being able to search for hidden directories in nautilus...
[22:03] <anli__> Thats amazing
[22:03] <Zaitzev> how do I add "~/bin" to $PATH ?
[22:03] <Zaitzev> so it's permanent etc?
[22:03] <anli__> you put that in .profile
[22:04] <velko> Zaitzev, it depends of the shell you're using
[22:04] <Zaitzev> not in  .bashrc?
[22:04] <smplman> Zaitzev: run ls -al ~/ and you should see it
[22:04] <anli__> Zaitzev: should also be possible
[22:04] <anli__> I would actually prefer using .bashrc, when thinking about it
[22:04] <Zaitzev> but how do I write it?
[22:04] <Zaitzev> I assume I don't do "export PATH=~/bin"
[22:04] <Zaitzev> since it contains a lot of other paths as well
[22:04] <smplman> no you will wipe your path
[22:05] <smplman> correct
[22:05] <smplman> Zaitzev: anli__ : http://www.joshstaiger.org/archives/2005/07/bash_profile_vs.html
[22:05] <Lyte101> Zaitzev, in your .bashrc you could just write "PATH=$PATH:~/directory:~/otherdirectory:~/etc"
[22:06] <Zaitzev> Lyte101: That sounds a bit too static to me
[22:06] <bastidrazor> Zaitzev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/875259/  i have this in my .profile
[22:06] <cfhowlett> *What is the OEM account's sudo password?* Reinstalled 10.04 with the Dell restore utility.  Autologin into OEM's account.  Sudo password is NOT "sudo"
[22:06] <velko> cfhowlett, doesn't "sudo -i" work for you?
[22:07] <smplman> Lyte101: nice solution
[22:07] <Zaitzev> smplman: it's not a login shell tho, I'm sitting at the computer here
[22:07] <cfhowlett> velko sudo -i aks for a password for oem
[22:07] <smplman> Zaitzev: then thats your answer
[22:08] <bastidrazor> cfhowlett: ask dell.
[22:08] <Zaitzev> smplman: my question wasn't whether to use .bashrc or .profile, though.
[22:08] <smplman> Zaitzev: the link was to clarify the debate, but look at Lyte101's solution
[22:09] <Zaitzev> yeah
[22:09] <anli__> Its a shame that people in 2012 puts a path in a shell script :)
[22:09] <Zaitzev> so that will check if ~/bin exists, if it does add it to PATH?
[22:09] <Jordan_U> cfhowlett: I'm not familiar with OEM setups, the way I would expect things to work after a restore is that it would ask you to enter a username and password to use first thing. Did that not happen? BTW, as long as it's not using an encrypted home directory we can change the password to whatever we want relatively easily if needed.
[22:09] <helo__> I can't get my system to boot. Can someone help?
[22:10] <anli__> helo__: Do you have valuable information on the hard disk?
[22:10] <smplman> Zaitzev: yep
[22:10] <Lyte101> Zaitzev, yes need to call $PATH first so it can append your other directories
[22:10] <helo__> anli: yes
[22:11] <helo__> anli: reinstall is not an option... I'm going to shoot myself if I can't boot back into this install
[22:11] <Jordan_U> helo__: Are you having any problem running boot info script?
[22:11] <helo__> Jordan_U: about to try that now
[22:12] <helo__> Jordan_U: The other fix had no affect at all]
[22:12] <meerkats> I have to ask again, how do I set in unity a proxy for all my internet connections instead of doing it via web broweser?
[22:12] <Zaitzev> ok, so if I do "echo $PATH" it should show the full path to my bin-folder in my home-folder?
[22:12] <meerkats> whats the name of the app?
[22:12] <helo__> Jordan_U: after following the instructions, I still never get a grub menu (doesn't seem like grub loads as it moves on to PXE)
[22:12] <bastidrazor> Zaitzev: yes.
[22:12] <Zaitzev> well, it didn't
[22:13] <Zaitzev> I added that stuff, did source .bashrc, but no go..
[22:13] <bastidrazor> Zaitzev: did you add that to your .profile?
[22:13] <bastidrazor> source Zaitzev source ~/.profile if you added it there.
[22:13] <PiRSquared> bowlegs1: ask your question here
[22:13] <Zaitzev> i added it to .bashrc
[22:13] <smplman> Zaitzev: log out then back in
[22:14] <Zaitzev> uhm
[22:14] <Zaitzev> it's not a loginshell?
[22:14] <smplman> you still need to refresh your environment after the change
[22:14] <Zaitzev> so I gotta close all programs I got running, and re-login?
[22:14] <viothman> Hello... is it possible to get ClassiC mode in 12.04?
[22:15] <smplman> Zaitzev: no there is a command to do it but i cant remember it
[22:15] <smplman> i always log out then back in
[22:15] <Zaitzev> rehash?

[22:18] <lawD_eR_m3rcY> I dont understand the hexadecimal error log my app reports everytime it crashes...and windows has never responded to any of the error logs i have been sending them
[22:18] <robotti^> how to use passthrough with pulseaudio?
[22:18] <robotti^> I have only succeed with alsa
[22:18] <robotti^> with pulseaudio it does not work.
[22:18] <helo__> Jordan_U: From that boot script, everything looks good... I'm lost. "Grub2 is installed on the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 1 of the same hd for core.img. core.img is at this location and looks in partition 5 for /boot/grub" That is all right
[22:19] <lawD_eR_m3rcY> i have been sitting by the phone hoping they would call one day but they never
[22:19] <lawD_eR_m3rcY> im fed up, so i think im going to ubuntu
[22:19] <Escherial> ok, this is weird; anyone here use sshfs? i'm trying to remote mount a directory, added a line to my fstab for it, but now every time i try to ls that directory terminal freezes solid
[22:19] <mishfit> join #new2irc
[22:19] <Jordan_U> helo__: Please pastebin the entire output. ( http://pastebin.ubuntu.com )
[22:19] <Zaitzev> a related question about PATH, I can see that /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin is already added. Should I use one of those instead?
[22:19] <greenit> i have an ubuntu 11.10 server and an ubuntu 11.10 desktop.... i want to see the server in the window "browse network" on the desktop-pc, how can i manage this? hostname -A is empty on both, wins is added to the hosts-section of /etc/nsswitch.conf (i can ping with the name, so it works).... plz help :(
[22:19] <Noctifer> good evening; i'm running 11.10 netbook edition; there are several problem with x11 applications: a) the window title is not shown in the starter menu and b) if the window is closed from the starter (sry, don't know how it is called now) then the whole desktop crashes
[22:20] <Noctifer> is this a known bug?
[22:20] <Fyodorovna> Noctifer, there is no netbook version do you mean unity.
[22:20] <Jordan_U> Noctifer: There is no separate netbook edition anymore. I assume you used the normal install CD on a netbook or upgraded from a previous version of Ubuntu?
[22:21] <helo__> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/875278
[22:21] <Noctifer> it is an upgraded system
[22:22] <nate_h> ugg
[22:22] <Fyodorovna> Noctifer, are you missing window headers?
[22:22] <Ukto> hey guys. i accidentally installed 11.10 desktop onto my server. I am using onboard Intel Raid MAtrix to do a Raid 1. When i put the server installer disk in, it detects theres raid, asks to use it, then complains theres no partitions/disks available. I tried all the incuded drivers, and none work. I cant seem to find any info on it on google. ideas?
[22:22] <nate_h> why the hell does the snmpd daemon startup script status check if snmptrapd is running
[22:22] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: no
[22:22] <nate_h> its not even part of the same package
[22:23] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: everything works fine except of that any pure x11 application crashes the desktop if it is closed from the starter - if it is closed using the 'x' button, nothing crashes
[22:23] <nate_h> I mean "enabling" snmpd doesn't enable snmpd
[22:24] <nate_h> traps
[22:24] <nate_h> they seem coupled in a weird way
[22:24] <Jordan_U> helo__: Are you sure that your BIOS is booting from sda and not sdb or sdc? (note that drive numbering can differ in the BIOS and linux, you need to check by size / manufacturer to be sure).
[22:25] <helo__> Jordan_U:I am not even sure what sdb and sdd are...
[22:25] <johnjacobjinger> it'd suck if they were all the same size and same manufacture... that happened to me... i had to compare serial numbers haha
[22:25] <root_> exit
[22:25] <helo__> Jordan_U: sdb is the live disk
[22:26] <helo__> Jordan_U: sdd is some internal device I never use...
[22:27] <cfhowlett> *OEM password request*  OEM installation requests a sudo password.  Doesn't accept "sudo" "ubuntu" "dell" "eom"
[22:27] <Fyodorovna> cfhowlett, ask dell how would we know here.
[22:27] <johnjacobjinger> helo__: sdb and sdd are just referring to how the hard drives are identified in ubuntu
[22:28] <johnjacobjinger> OEM installation??? OEM install of ubuntu?
[22:28] <Fyodorovna> cfhowlett, I looked on google I saw no info.
[22:28] <Fyodorovna> johnjacobjinger, dell had ubnuntu releases for awhie.
[22:29] <filo1234> cfhowlett: did you tried user oem password oem ?
[22:29] <Fyodorovna> s/ubuntu/awhile
[22:31] <johnjacobjinger> Fyodorovna: yes i know i was asking if this was an OEM Ubuntu install, he didnt make it clear
[22:32] <helo__> Jordan_U: thanks for trying... I have to go. I will be back on later to try again...
[22:32] <johnjacobjinger> if he doesnt know the sudo password he can change it
[22:32] <johnjacobjinger> not sure if he knows how to use single user mode or not tho
[22:32] <urgodfather> hi will someone help me figure out why my graphics is stuck on 800x600... running 11.10 server and desktop on dell sc430
[22:33] <johnjacobjinger> urgodfather: did u install the driver for your card?
[22:33] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: which one
[22:33] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: it's an intell system
[22:33] <johnjacobjinger> urgodfather: whats the graphics card?
[22:34] <johnjacobjinger> do u know the model of the Graphics card?
[22:34] <filo1234> cfhowlett: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-recovery/+bug/573752
[22:34] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: it's an integrated gfx
[22:34] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: dunno any other specifics
[22:35] <johnjacobjinger> ok urgodfather but it still has a model and driver... whats the motherboard model?
[22:35] <johnjacobjinger> what driver does windows use on it urgodfather
[22:35] <bastidrazor> urgodfather: lspci | grep -i vga
[22:35] <johnjacobjinger> yea do what bastidrazor said
[22:36] <urgodfather> bastidrazor: VGA compatible controller: XGI Technology Inc. (eXtreme Graphics Innovation) Z7/Z9 (XG20 core)\
[22:36] <Fyodorovna> johnjacobjinger, you must of come on after the recovery partition was mentioned.:)
[22:37] <johnjacobjinger> Fyodorovna: yea must've sorry
[22:37] <johnjacobjinger> lol
[22:39] <Fyodorovna> johnjacobjinger, would of been the first partition gone had it been mine
[22:40] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: got the info from lspci
[22:41] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: VGA compatible controller: XGI Technology Inc. (eXtreme Graphics Innovation) Z7/Z9 (XG20 core)
[22:41] <nullucas> anyone here knows how to record the desktop with ffmpeg without wasting a lot of cpu? (it's basically always at 100%)
[22:42] <johnjacobjinger> urgodfather: what model machine is the computer?
[22:42] <nug700> hello... i just spent the last few hours on #wine woundering y an application won't run on it. I was directed here because  I don't have the correct display drivers installed
[22:43] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: dell poweredge sever sc430
[22:43] <Fyodorovna> nug700, you have windows still?
[22:43] <johnjacobjinger> oh... that explains that lol
[22:43] <nug700> I have the official NVIDIA drivers installed, when I'm supposed to have the ubuntu ones
[22:43] <nug700> and i don't have windows
[22:43] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: ok the desktop does not crash ... rather the following happens: once an x11 application starts it is not shown as the application in the starter but rather there is an entry called "panel" then - i suppose this refers to the whole panel and if you close that then the whole panel closes><
[22:44] <Fyodorovna> Noctifer, not sure really.
[22:44] <nug700> I would have installed the NVIDIA drivers provided by my package manager, but they don't have them it seems
[22:45] <johnjacobjinger> urgodfather: i'm not sure we'll be able to get the driver for that... what's the service tag for the machine if u dont mind
[22:45] <johnjacobjinger> i got like 10 more minutes to help you urgodfather
[22:45] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: 1rr0hb1 likewise
[22:46] <cfhowlett> *oem password needed*  I used oem install.  admin password is set by ubuntu not the vendor.  password is NOT oem/blank/sudo/ubuntu
[22:47] <urgodfather> johnjacobjinger: looks like im gonna have to check into it tomorrow
[22:47] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: you can try that by running glxgears - try to close it from panel
[22:48] <Fyodorovna> Noctifer, I'm using gnome 3
[22:48] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: which version of ubuntu?
[22:48] <Fyodorovna> I have no glxgears 11.10
[22:49] <Fyodorovna> Noctifer, are you running metacity?
[22:49] <nug700> Ok, when I first installed Ubuntu 10.04, i opened "hardware drivers" to install my grpahics drivers, but nothing showed up.
[22:50] <_Marcus> u
[22:50] <Fyodorovna> Noctifer, and which release?
[22:50] <JohnNapster> hello, please help me... i cannot mount my usb key on the guest account... and i can't access the administrator accont because it is broken... it got broken after i set a blank password for the administrator account... please help
[22:50] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: command to find out which wm is running?
[22:51] <Fyodorovna> Noctifer, which release natty and beyond is compiz in unity.
[22:51] <nug700> johnNapster: do sudo passwd <account name>
[22:52] <JohnNapster> nug700: the password is blank and so i can't do anthing
[22:52] <JohnNapster> anything
[22:52] <_Marcus> JohnPaster: That command sets the password.
[22:52] <JohnNapster> in the User Accounts I cannot unlock the settings for the admin
[22:53] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: system information tells me ubuntu 11.10 and uname-a gives Linux laptop 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:50:54 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[22:54] <dodgerdude> JohnNapster you can boot into single user mode
[22:54] <dodgerdude> then you'll be root and you can set up the password again
[22:54] <JohnNapster> how exacty can i do that?
[22:54] <grendal-prime> anybody using ubuntu for android yet?
[22:54] <grendal-prime> !ubuntu for android
[22:55] <Noctifer> Fyodorovna: i'll try to start in gnome 3
[22:55] <dodgerdude> don't remember exactly, search google, sorry
[22:55] <grendal-prime> !android
[22:55] <dodgerdude> reboot  and hit either tab or excape
[22:55] <nug700> Ok, when I first installed Ubuntu 10.04, i opened "hardware drivers" to install my graphics drivers, but nothing showed up.
[22:55] <thereindarkness> hey I have a clean install, but I can't access any files through my web
[22:56] <thereindarkness> like in my root folder, i have a wordpress folder wp-admin
[22:56] <thereindarkness> with 757 permissions
[22:56] <nug700> so i had to install the drivers on the NVIDIA web site
[22:56] <thereindarkness> but, if i try domain.com/wp-admin, I get no response
[22:56] <nug700> i need the ubuntu official nvidia drivers, but do know where to find them
[22:57] <mcphail> nug700: how new is your nvidia card?
[22:58] <nug700> GTX 500 series
[22:58] <thereindarkness> do i need to put files in /var/www/?
[22:58] <subthalamus> is there a /list | grep something irc option?
[22:58] <nug700> I bought the card sometime in august
[22:59] <subthalamus> need to find a bash channel
[22:59] <pangolin> subthalamus: #bash and also see /msg alis help list
[22:59] <subthalamus> pangolin: thanks
[23:00] <Jordan_U> nug700: Use the "Additional Drivers" utility.
[23:01] <mcphail> nug700: you might need to try the x-swat ppa if 10.04 doesn't have an up-to-date driver
[23:02] <nug700> Well.. i installed the official NVIDIA drivers.. but i need a "32 bit libgl" to run a certain application
[23:03] <angel282> Hello can someone recommend me on good web stress tool? (which I can used to check my website/server)
[23:04] <mcphail> nug700: the x-swat ppa usually has everything you need but you'll need to get rid of the official drivers first. The nvidia drivers which ship with 10.04 are to old to work with newer cards
[23:04] <nug700> Jordan_U: and I can't find the "additional drivers" utility, do you mean the "Hardware drivers" utility?
[23:05] <Jordan_U> nug700: Yes.
[23:05] <Jordan_U> nug700: The name has changed between releases, sorry.
[23:05] <nug700> mcphail: I'm using the drivers I installed off of the NVIDIA website. I have their most up to date version (295.20)
[23:05] <mintman> celthunder: u around
[23:06] <nug700> Jordan_U: Nothing shows up when i use that
[23:07] <Jordan_U> nug700: Did you try that before installing Nvidia's drivers manually?
[23:07] <nug700> yes
[23:07] <mintman> Anyone install mbrola having trouble
[23:07] <aleth> hi adev
[23:08] <nug700> that's y i installed the NVIDIA ones manually, because they didnt show up in Hardware drivers
[23:08] <aleth> hi milanoa
[23:09] <mintman> mbrola wont install  qmail is holding it up
[23:09] <mcphail> nug700: the ppa contains more than just the drivers - http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu/
[23:09] <nug700> was just about to ask phail
[23:09] <nug700> thanks
[23:10] <mcphail> nug700: the usual warnings about ppa's apply
[23:10] <nug700> i know
[23:10] <mcphail> :)
[23:11] <Zaitzev> Whenever I open the terminal, it's a fixed size, and opens on random positions in the screenspace. Any way I can make the position static, and a custom terminal windowsize?
[23:11] <nug700> first i have to figure out how to remove the NVIDIA ones
[23:11] <Jordan_U> Zaitzev: Are you using gnome-terminal and Unity/Compiz?
[23:12] <Zaitzev> I assume that's the one
[23:12] <Zaitzev> (yeah I'm a noob) :p
[23:12] <Fyodorovna> Zaitzev, size is in the edit-profile preferences of the terminal
[23:12] <Zaitzev> ah, there it is
[23:12] <Zaitzev> how about the position when I open it?
[23:13] <Shojo> anyone any idea why qmail would interfere with the installation of another program?
[23:13] <Zaitzev> it's the same with the folder explorer, it opens on random places
[23:14] <Zaitzev> and they more often than not, open at the edges of the screen. sort of "snaps" to the edges. I wouldn't mind having it centered in the screenspace. as for the terminal I would want it on top center.

[23:14] <Zaitzev> And of course, if there are better/nicer looking terminals, with more functions(split windows etc?), I would like to try out some of that as well
[23:16] <Zaitzev> I don't know if Compiz / Unity is very demanding to the system, but it does feel rather sluggish sometimes..especially since I don't have a high end system.
[23:17] <mcphail> Zaitzev: the default terminal app can be configured quite easily if you want to change appearance
[23:17] <JohnNapster> can you guys force the user not being able to set a blank password in the User Accounts section for the group admin accounts??
[23:17] <Zaitzev> Yeah, I've already played around with that, made it transparent, tried out some backgrounds..
[23:19] <Zaitzev> a completely transparent terminal looks kinda cool, but it's not the easiest to work with :p

[23:22] <Lirth> A while ago I was using speakers and set my laptop for sound to come out of it. Now that I have disconnected I can't get any sound from the built in speakers. How would I fix that?

[23:30] <Lirth> When trying to install ubuntu on my computer to allow dual boot, I have a "Fatal Error" for installing grub. Any idea what this might be?
[23:30] <mintman> itaylor57: we are using linux mint which u dont want to help support so we are resolving a package conflict in linux mint
[23:31] <droid-0854> Anyone want to talk about libvte?
[23:31] <waxstone> Lirth, have you checked the installation media for errors?
[23:32] <itaylor57> droid-0854, it has been commented on amply in slash dot
[23:32] <droid-0854> It in gnome and stores command lines on to tje hard disk
[23:32] <droid-0854> The*
[23:32] <Lirth> waxstone: I've tried different USBs and architecture. I'm going with 64 bit but I tried 32 after some problems. That didn't help so I stuck with what I started with.
[23:33] <waxstone> Lirth, Do you have a livecd? Ive never installed via USB
[23:34] <Lirth> waxstone: I do not. I have yet to put a dvd drive in my computer (It's the last piece I need).
[23:34] <droid-0854> So what to do with ubuntu data and the terminal in ubuntu
[23:34] <waxstone> !usb
[23:34] <waxstone> Lirth, see if the above link helps you out
[23:35] <Lirth> waxstone: usb worked for this laptop I'm using. It's actually the same usb, although I updated the information after the first error.
[23:35] <Fudge> hi trying to use fetchexc but it says no suitable java program found, java should be installed
[23:36] <Lirth> On a side note, how do I re-enable my speakers from my laptop after using some external speakers?
[23:36] <waxstone> Lirth, on the computer that the usb doesnt work with do you reach the installation menu or does it crash before the install starts?
[23:36] <azert> hello world
[23:36] <Lirth> waxstone: I've gotten to the point where it says "Installation is complete. You need to restart..." and then the error pops up.
[23:37] <azert> i got ubuntu oneiric on my system, i got virtualbox also
[23:37] <azert> now my question is
[23:37] <waxstone> Lirth, ok fixing gurb shouldnt be hard
[23:37] <waxstone> !grub
[23:37] <Lirth> waxstone: That's not what the last few days have told me.
[23:37] <azert> i would like that virtualbox open at ubuntu startup
[23:37] <azert> what i have to do ?
[23:38] <waxstone> Lirth, are you installing ubuntu in a system that already have windows? what version of windows?
[23:38] <Lirth> waxstone: I'm dualbooting with two drives. My SSD for windows and games and my HDD for ubuntu. I have yet to install windows but once I get my dvd drive I will.
[23:39] <azert> hello
[23:39] <itaylor57> Fudge, what version of ubuntu and how did you install fetchexc?
[23:39] <azert> anyone there ?
[23:40] <Zaitzev> no, there's nobody here
[23:40] <waxstone> Lirth, So currently you have no OS on either drive and grub fails after install
[23:40] <Zaitzev> kidding.. :)
[23:40] <Lirth> azert: Give it some time for people to think. Sometimes a person will google to either refresh their memory or find something to help out.
[23:40] <Zaitzev> azert, got a question just ask it. there's a ton of people here just waiting to help :)
[23:40] <Lirth> waxstone: Correct.
[23:41] <azert> well my question allready been asked
[23:41] <azert> ^^
[23:41] <azert> i simply would like that virtualbox open at ubuntu start up
[23:41] <azert> what i have to do on my settings ?
[23:42] <droid-0854> Does the data leak extend to actual terminal like crtl+alt+f1?
[23:42] <Lirth> azert: which ubuntu are you using?
[23:42] <bastidrazor> azert: in the top right, click the cog > Startup Applications > add the virtualbox binary there
[23:42] <azert> oneiric
[23:43] <azert> cog .?
[23:43] <Lirth> azert: powerbutton thingy
[23:43] <Lirth> azert: top right corner of the screen next to your name and the clock
[23:43] <amaroks> Hello guys
[23:43] <Sir_Fawnpug> Is sendmail a reasonable thing to install on a webserver?
[23:43] <waxstone> Lirth, can you boot to the usb and use the live desktop on that computer?
[23:44] <waxstone> I assume yyou can since it installed
[23:44] <Lirth> waxstone: I've been able to before. I've reinstalled several times hoping something new would help.
[23:44] <amaroks> i have ubuntu installation with small root volume, if I add more volumes how can I assign any of them to specific user home directory?
[23:44] <Lirth> waxstone: I did install instead of try so i can't do anything here.
[23:44] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, with fstab
[23:44] <f3ck4r> Sir_Fawnpug: why not qmail D;
[23:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> f3ck4r, I don't do a whole bunch of web programming, I just need to seen mail out, but I'll look into qmail
[23:45] <azert> what is the path for virtualbox binary ? Lirth
[23:45] <waxstone> Lirth, you can till try after an install
[23:45] <f3ck4r> Sir_Fawnpug: ic, if it is only that then use sendmail D;
[23:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, you can basically mount the new volume on a folder within your home directory
[23:45] <Lirth> azert: I have no idea. I've never used that.
[23:45] <Fudge> itaylor57  precise and from archives
[23:46] <Sir_Fawnpug> f3ck4r, yeah, I have a feeling linode would kill me if I did a fully blown mail server, haha
[23:46] <amaroks> how do I mount it as a folder?
[23:46] <itaylor57> Fudge, ask in ubuntu+1
[23:46] <amaroks> actually thats what I want
[23:46] <f3ck4r> Sir_Fawnpug: lmao!
[23:46] <Lirth> waxstone: Do you mean reboot?
[23:46] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, mount -t auto /dev/node /path/to/folder
[23:46] <Fudge> itaylor57  i dont see why it would be any different from oneiric how ever
[23:46] <Sir_Fawnpug> That will temporarily mount it
[23:47] <Sir_Fawnpug> If you want it to persist, you're going to need to edit /etc/fstab
[23:47] <Sir_Fawnpug> But fstab's syntax is fairly straightforward
[23:47] <amaroks> what do you mean temporary?
[23:47] <amaroks> if I reboot it will disappear?
[23:47] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, yeah
[23:47] <Sir_Fawnpug> That is to say it won't automatically mount on boot
[23:47] <amaroks> and I can do it again?
[23:47] <Sir_Fawnpug> Yeah
[23:47] <amaroks> and all files etc will be there
[23:47] <amaroks> in that foldeR?
[23:48] <itaylor57> Fudge, read the room info, precise support is in #ubuntu+1
[23:48] <Sir_Fawnpug> Pastebin your /etc/fstab for me really quick
[23:48] <waxstone> Lirth, no. I dont know what is happening in your case. I too much about grub
[23:48] <Sir_Fawnpug> I'll help you make the mount survive reboots
[23:48] <waxstone> Lirth, you have given enough info though im sure for someone who does
[23:48] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, you mean on the volume? Yeah, nothing on the volume gets erased when it gets unmounted
[23:49] <Lirth> waxstone: I had some problems earlier about the live usb not booting because my graphics card was arguing with the mother board so I had to disalbe it.
[23:49] <itaylor57> !precise
[23:49] <amaroks> basicly its just for ftp backup
[23:49] <Lirth> waxstone: I'm not sure if the two problems are related
[23:49] <amaroks> you beilieve its fine tojust do that temporary mount to a folder?
[23:49] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, oh, you're wanting to mount a remote site?
[23:49] <amaroks> nope
[23:49] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, if you don't need constant access to it, no
[23:49] <amaroks> its just ubuntu server with vsftp
[23:49] <Sir_Fawnpug> Err, that is to say it'll be fine
[23:49] <cha0s_> Trying to remove password neccesity on ubuntu. already changed everything in gconfig-editor. it all is set to no password but everytime I suspend it requires password to unlock. I am the only user on the pc so it's unneccesary. anyone help remove?
[23:50] <amaroks> ubuntu with vsftp and i use it to backup things form another server
[23:50] <amaroks> weekly
[23:50] <amaroks> its an amazon EC2 actually
[23:50] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, so this server is basically the target of a backup, right?
[23:50] <amaroks> yes, only
[23:51] <Sir_Fawnpug> Mounting through the mount command as I'ev specified will keep it mounted as long as it's not explicitly unmounted or the machine doesn't go down
[23:51] <amaroks> is there any speed issue with the temporary and the other way? Sir_Fawnpug
[23:51] <waxstone> Would installing ubuntu with 2 different types of drives SSD and HDD cause issuse with grub?
[23:52] <f3ck4r> waxstone: nope
[23:52] <Fudge> good one itaylor57  i am quite aware, thank you how ever!
[23:52] <Lirth> I'm having some problems with my laptop speakers. I can't remember how to enable the built in hardware after I used my HDMI speakers.
[23:53] <f3ck4r> waxstone:  the thing is how you set your partitions
[23:53] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, perforancewise, the two should be identical
[23:53] <amaroks> alright
[23:53] <amaroks> Thank you!
[23:53] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, the only difference with putting an entry for the mount poitn in fstab is convenience
[23:54] <waxstone> f3ck4r: hmm so a default install to one drive will cause the fail?
[23:54] <Sir_Fawnpug> If you server ever goes down, you will have to manually mount it again or stuff will break
[23:54] <amaroks> last question, in my ec2 dashboard my new volumes shows as /dev/xx
[23:54] <amaroks> is that the /dev/node in your example?
[23:54] <Sir_Fawnpug> amaroks, yeah
[23:54] <waxstone> f3ck4r: Lirth has one drive for games, etc and one with ubuntu ubt grub fails after install
[23:54] <Sir_Fawnpug> /dev/node could be like /dev/sda1, for instance
[23:54] <waxstone> but**
[23:55] <f3ck4r> waxstone: like i said, the only thing is how he set the partiitons
[23:55] <waxstone> f3ck4r:ok thanks
[23:56] <Lirth> waxstone, f3ck4r: I'm trying to put grub on my SSD
[23:56] <f3ck4r> waxstone: the problem could be cuz he is using the other hdd to install the grub and that could be a mbr issue
[23:57] <Lirth> f3ck4r: Should I unplug the SSD and just use the HDD for grub?
[23:57] <waxstone> Lirth: i was just about to say that. until you install windows , unhook thwe second drive
[23:57] <Lirth> waxstone: Sounds good. I'll be right back.
[23:58] <waxstone> k
[23:58] <f3ck4r> Lirth: u don't need that, but u can check at r bios the hdd config and actually see wich one is the mbr
[23:58] <Sir_Fawnpug> Anybody happen to have experience setting up mono? I'm on 11.10 and apt seems to deadlock when I try to install it
[23:58] <Sir_Fawnpug> err, mod-mono rather
[23:58] <Sir_Fawnpug> Related to this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsp/+bug/179432
[23:59] <Lirth> f3ck4r: How would I do that?
