[00:00] <ixiaqla> Hello. I am trying to increase the open file limit on my Ubuntu install by default. I have changed /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/pam.d/common-session ; /etc/pam.d/login BOTH have session require pam_limits.so written and uncommented. I have rebooted the server and still see 1024 when I do ulimit -n. Any ideas?
[00:02] <elijah> I can't right click on any files anymore, I also can't left click on the power button on top right, I can left click on files just not right click. Any ideas what is going on/how to fix? Would a restart be good?
[00:02] <elijah> Actually I can't click on any system menus at all
[00:03] <Zx432> Hi
[00:03] <voglster> wassup
[00:04] <Zx432> Is this the place to get help for ubuntu server?
[00:04] <Zx432> I am noob so...
[00:04] <starn> escott: disk utility says " SMART Status:  disk has a few bad sectors"  does that mean it's dying?
[00:04] <juila> have a question about ubuntu
[00:04] <zykotick9> Zx432: either here, or #ubuntu-server
[00:05] <elijah> I can't even click the button to restart, is the command shutdown -restart?
[00:05] <escott> starn, its not good, but the disk can usually remap a few bad sectors. in the end its a question of how paranoid you are about your data
[00:05] <velko> starn, yes. do a backup as fast as you can. it might work a lot longer but your data is not safe on it
[00:05] <starn> says "self-test failed"  4095 bad sectors"
[00:06] <escott> starn, thats a s-ton more than a few. that is a LOT of bad sectors
[00:06] <elijah> shutdown -r now?
[00:06] <juila> have an application running on the background that I would want to edit
[00:06] <starn> alright escott whats the easy way to clone ubuntu's partiton onto another hard drive and still be bootable?
[00:06] <Zx432> On my server I have a Local loopback. The server is plugged in my router, since I only want it for internal use it shouldn't be a problem.
[00:06] <juila> but cannot have on the lunc
[00:06] <Zx432> Or should it?
[00:07] <juila> can anyone help with that..?
[00:07] <escott> starn, you could do a lowlevel dd, but i would think that a !clone together with a home backup is better. you dont want to copy invalid data to the new disk
[00:07] <velko> juila, what is a lunc?
[00:08] <starn> hmm escott apparently the hard drive has "airflow Temperature" errors
[00:08] <juila> I meant luncher
[00:09] <escott> starn, clean the dust out, but you may have already baked the drive
[00:09] <starn> says the correct temp is 118f   (i am pretty sure that's to hot) escott  and this is a new computer... the disk is on.
[00:10] <starn> escott: i'm going to try to run a test if i disappear it's because my computer froze.
[00:10] <velko> juila, i still cannot understand what are you trying to accomplish. the application is already running. but you don't have a launcher for it. how this constitutes a problem to be helped with?
[00:11] <shmily> i want to make a script run on resume from a suspend. the script then promptly starts then stops how do i keep it running
[00:11] <shmily> please and thank you
[00:12] <juila> velko the application is running on the background cos it supposed to be reminding some times which it does, now want to edit the timing but when ever I select it it wont open from the luncher
[00:13] <shmily> anyone know where i could find someone who can help?
[00:13] <velko> juila, sorry. this still does not make any sense to me. ask the others. hopefully somebody will understand
[00:14] <wildBill_> grrrr
[00:14] <wildBill_> my x axis carriage is sticking
[00:14] <wildBill_> damn oillite bushings
[00:15] <shmily> hello?
[00:15] <pillboxing> hi guys can someone give me the syntax for mounting an smb share?
[00:15] <shmily> is anyone able to read this?
[00:15] <Zx432> yes
[00:15] <wildBill_> anyone got any suggestions other than take the rods off and turn them and grind them again
[00:15] <zykotick9> wildBill_: wrong channel?
[00:15] <pillboxing> buy a new one :D
[00:16] <wildBill_> lol!
[00:16] <juila> thanks velko
[00:16] <Zx432> Nobody home at # ubuntu-server....
[00:19] <domo1> hello.. i believe i have foun da bug with ssh on ubuntu
[00:19] <domo1> but I would like to ask if someone can confirm it or try to replicate it?
[00:19] <pillboxing> mount -t //192.168.1.149/Scripts /media/LS cifs guest
[00:19] <pillboxing> can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong there?
[00:20] <domo1> it seems sshd_config strictmodes is set to yes by default on the latest ubuntu server.. but if i have a .ssh/authorized_keys file with permissions set to 0775 and 0664 (dir and file respectivley), it allows a login!
[00:20] <Major_V_Blessed> So glad to be back
[00:20] <domo1> which I believe is incorrect
[00:20] <domo1> is this a known issue?
[00:20] <velko> pillboxing, are you allowed to use the ip address instead of the host name?
[00:20] <pillboxing> I can in dolphin
[00:20] <starn> odd the other disk in the machine is at 122f yet smart test say's it's perfectly healthy
[00:21] <escott> pillboxing, cifs should follow the type option
[00:21] <velko> pillboxing, mount does not look a lot like dolphin, does it?
[00:21] <shmily> i want to start using a security keylogger in case my laptop gets stolen. one problem i have is it kills when going to suspend. i made a script to start it again when i resume. now i have the problem of it starting then four milliseconds later killing how can i fix this?
[00:21] <zu_munir> :)
[00:21] <pillboxing> no, but I assume that dolphin doesn't convert the ip to a host name and then lookup
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> pillboxing: -t needs a type after it
[00:21] <skypce> hello people , can you helpme with this panel problem please?http://imagebin.org/203347
[00:22] <pillboxing> so I would do:
[00:22] <starn> how come every hard drive i have that has Linux Partiton has "failed in the past" for temperature and says "disk has a few bad sectors"  even if the hard drive is brand new?
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> skypce: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a
[00:23] <Major_V_Blessed> @pillboxing dolphin browser
[00:23] <Rurd2di> any idea if i can logout a unity session from console
[00:23] <Major_V_Blessed> ?
[00:23] <Rurd2di> and how to do so
[00:23] <zu_munir> HI all..
[00:23] <pillboxing> sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.149/Scripts /media/LS guest?
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> Rurd2di: sure, run:    killall -u $USER
[00:23] <escott> Rurd2di, gnome-session-quit?
[00:24] <pillboxing> doen't work ><
[00:24] <Rurd2di> ubuntu 11
[00:24] <Rurd2di> tho
[00:24] <pillboxing> doesn't
[00:24] <shmily> can anyone read this? seriously am i doing this the wrong was or does noone know?
[00:24] <escott> pillboxing, escape the space in "LS guest"
[00:24] <pillboxing> naww, guest is the username I assumed
[00:24] <escott> shmily, its not something people in ubuntu do very often. try !backtrack
[00:25] <shmily> is it !back... or back....
[00:25] <pillboxing> fogler name I'm trying to mount ot to /media/LS

[00:32] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[00:32] <skypce> i was tested with another themes
[00:32] <skypce> and same
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> skypce: its to just test, think about it, we are  trying to isolate an issue
[00:32] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: natty
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: did you by any chance add the Gnome3 ppa ?
[00:33] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Yep.

[00:33] <Rurd2di> lol
[00:33] <Rourick> ? please i wanna switch os, i have no cd's nor usb stick, is it possiable download iso and run from linux for boot-up? thanks
[00:34] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Ok, how do I remove it?
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: I'd reinstall personally. You may find success with ppa-purge
[00:34] <Rurd2di> Rourick: nettboot
[00:35] <Rurd2di> best way then
[00:35] <Rourick> from software manager?
[00:35] <Rurd2di> nb
[00:35] <Rurd2di> *netboot
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Rourick: Grub2 can boot ISOs
[00:35] <Rourick> im new not sure grub
[00:35] <Rourick> :)
[00:36] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: hmmmkay... installing...
[00:36] <rfoust> newb question: chrome is taking up the full screen, and I can't get to the title bar.  how do i fix it? :)
[00:36] <h00k> rfoust: try f11
[00:36] <h00k> rfoust: or alt+click and drag
[00:36] <superdave321> rfoust: that or you may be running it in app mode...
[00:37] <rfoust> ah ha, the alt-click drag did it
[00:37] <superdave321> cool
[00:37] <rfoust> thanks!!
[00:37] <pillboxing>  //192.168.1.149/Scripts /media/LS cifs iocharset=utf8,uid=localusername,gid=users,guest,file_mode=0444,dir_mode=0555 0 0
[00:37] <pillboxing> that's what I have in my fstab
[00:37] <pillboxing> can anyone linkme to the proper syntax for mounting samba?
[00:38] <escott> pillboxing, gid=users looks wrong. you either want uid=1000,gid=1000 or you want users, but not both
[00:38] <pillboxing> ty
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> pillboxing: do you have any username/password stuff on the share?
[00:38] <escott> !samba | pillboxing this should list some examples
[00:38] <pillboxing> I did sudo mount -a, and then dmesg | tail
[00:39] <duvi> hello
[00:39] <pillboxing> dmesg tail said there was no user specified
[00:39] <pillboxing> no parsnip
[00:39] <domo1> just filed a security bug at ubuntu over the SSH issue I was having
[00:39] <domo1> hopefully I foun dsomething that will be fixed!
[00:39] <domo1> :)
[00:43] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: how would I use ppa-purge to accomplish my goal here?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: sudo ppa-purge ppa:addressofppayouadded
[00:44] <superdave321> Thanks
[00:44] <Shojo> To make a process start at login, what file should i add to Startup?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: there is a startup items item in dash
[00:46] <Shojo> you mean boot in /?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: if its just an app which you can run in dash, you can simply symlink the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.conf/autostart folder
[00:47] <pillboxing> so there's no way of adding an entry to the fstab with guest permissions and set to all
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> pillboxing: i'm sure there is, just nobody knows rigt now....
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: what do you want to add?
[00:47] <Shojo> i don;t know symlinking. I want to know what type of file to add in the Startup processes GUI
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: the startup app GUI lets you define the command to run at startup and makes the desktop file for you :)
[00:50] <pillboxing> apparently smbfs is > cifs
[00:50] <Shojo> fail2ban, i know it's in /use/share/fail2ban but i don't know which file to use as startup only allows one file
[00:50] <skypce> guys what is the channel of gtk css?
[00:51] <Shojo> i mean which is the process initiating file
[00:52] <Zx432> how do I get a ethernet card to work?
[00:52] <Shojo> i didn't understand the "makes the dektop file  for you" part
[00:52] <Zx432> system recognises it
[00:52] <Zx432> but i have no connection
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: what do you want to add to startup?
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> Zx432: you'll find the OS will nearly ALWAYS recognise the hardware, doesn't mean it will work
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> Zx432: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[00:57] <Shojo> because it's a firewall process
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: doesn't that run as a process without need to add it to the startup manually?
[00:59] <Shojo> it doesn't appear to be. and it has no daemon
[01:00] <therealdod> https://nolikebutton.jottit.com/
[01:00] <therealdod> New campaign
[01:00] <pillboxing> finally got it mounted lol
[01:00] <therealdod> Any comments?
[01:00] <pillboxing> /192.168.1.149/Scripts  /media/LS cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[01:00] <therealdod> I dont know many people who use facebook
[01:00] <therealdod> but the idea is solid
[01:00] <pillboxing> that in fstab worked, nothing else ever did
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: if you run:  grep fail2 /usr/share/applications/*     do you get any output?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> therealdod: how is that related to ubuntu support?
[01:01] <mkultra> anyone home?
[01:02] <Shojo> ActionParsnip: no
[01:02] <mkultra> hello ubuntu
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: gah, then the startup items app will add the command for you
[01:03] <skypce> guys how can i set a background-color:transparent in gtk 3?
[01:03] <mkultra> i cant wait till 12.04 comes out
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> mkultra: you can use it in Beta prerelease if you feel brave :)
[01:04] <^Satan^> quick question: It's possible to remove Unity entirely, right? And only have Gnome or KDE or whatever instead?
[01:04] <mkultra> i do have my pc setup to format rather well
[01:04] <ubuntu> k
[01:04] <mkultra> yeah satan
[01:04] <^Satan^> cool
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: unity is a shell for Gnome, you already have gnome installed
[01:04] <mkultra> u can remove gnome entirely and install xfce or fluxbox if your brave
[01:04] <aaronh5> What does the command "export bash" do? I can't use any commands now that I did that
[01:05] <^Satan^> I want to keep gnome, but ditch unity
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: will help: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/

[01:09] <Wilson2bw> @ActionP > Im trying to use Pidgin with this news group on Freenode.net
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: I'd say intel personally
[01:09] <orionsonofneptun> well my eyes need fixed son
[01:09] <Wilson2bw> and Im not getting anywhere
[01:09] <itsmee> h00k, no, that's not what happened, i tried to manually add the windows entry to the grub trough a programme called boot-fix and now it says that there is something missing, it's not the case which is exposed in the forum
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> Wilson2bw: which newsgroup?
[01:09] <^Satan^> at a minimum it'd have to be able to run double-headed, twin 1920x1080 displays
[01:10] <Wilson2bw> meaning, I can chat directly with people in the list , but not in the main window
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: intel more than likely, intel give a lot to Linux
[01:10] <^Satan^> preferably at a refresh rate of 100 hz
[01:10] <wolfmitchell> Ok, thats for every sudo command.
[01:10] <Wilson2bw> Right now im chatting using some webbased chat
[01:10] <h00k> Wilson2bw: you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic. /join #ubuntu-offtopic

[01:12] <ActionParsnip> bikcmp: wanna bet?
[01:12] <wolfmitchell> I'll just see if I can use Grub to change my pas
[01:12] <bikcmp> ActionParsnip: all i'm seeing is stuff to 'control' it.
[01:12] <pillboxing> I miss the old gnome, I would never have updated from ubuntu 9.04 if  I knew what I was in for
[01:13] <bikcmp> i don't want to control it, i want to watch it. :P
[01:13] <marco2000> hook, sorry my ignorance, I'm talking about the interface that comes with gnome 3 by default
[01:13] <wolfmitchell> s/pas/pass  s/my/the root
[01:13] <Pirsch> Hi all. I would like to build my own custom ubuntu. I want to remove things like Gwibber and Ubuntu Software Center. I've tried but end up with no GUI. Is there a way?
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> bikcmp: so you want to be ableto watch media in a web browser from your local PC
[01:13] <bikcmp> yeah.
[01:13] <bikcmp> from a server.
[01:13] <h00k> marco2000: okay, the one that comes on Ubuntu by default is the shell Unity, Gnome has a shell called gnome-shell
[01:13] <bikcmp> hm
[01:13] <bikcmp> actually
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> not sure, but i'm tired. Gotta jet
[01:13] <bikcmp> know what
[01:13] <bikcmp> ActionParsnip: maybe.
[01:13] <h00k> marco2000: both run on Gnome3, though.
[01:13] <h00k> !ati | marco2000 this may help
[01:14] <zykotick9> Pirsch: i'd suggest starting from mini and installing what you want
[01:14] <marco2000> hook, thanks
[01:14] <Fwenter> Has anyone gotten a Cisco AE1200 wireless USB card to work?
[01:14] <^Satan^> h00k, how does one go about removing the Unity shell entirely? So it's not sitting on my hard drive taking up space?
[01:14] <Fwenter> the chipset is a Broadcom BCM43235
[01:14] <willijs3> pillboxing Me too. I want studio and xfce, but this latest release isn't the best.
[01:14] <Pirsch> zykotick9, I tried this but couldn't get the LveCd to boot, even into a shell.
[01:14] <zykotick9> Pirsch: and avoid the metapackage ;)
[01:15] <h00k> ^Satan^: probably 'sudo apt-get remove unity'
[01:15] <zykotick9> Pirsch: livecd? where does that come in?  are you trying to do a custom livecd or install?  if it's livecd i have no idea!
[01:16] <Pirsch> zykotick9, I remember downloading and burning Ubuntu mini to a LiveCd. I expected it would install into the ram and then at least give me a console to work with. But it didn't work.
[01:17] <NeWGuy__> dit you try Alt-F1, or F2 or F3 . . .
[01:17] <Pirsch> zykotick9, I wouldn't be surprised if you told me I was going about it the wrong way. :)
[01:17] <Wilson2bw> Not sure I understand this; <ActionParsnip> Wilson2bw: main wind, select to message a user then type:  #ubuntu
[01:17] <itsmee> omg i don't get anything of the community page, they are using tools and commands that i don't know for the grub, and i can't figure out how to proceed and wha'ts the problem
[01:17] <pillboxing> /192.168.1.149/Scripts  /media/LS cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[01:17] <willijs3> Or does anyone know if I can upgrade to Studio from Xubuntu?
[01:18] <h00k> Wilson2bw: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:18] <pillboxing> I can't save files on that damn share
[01:18] <pillboxing> I just changed permissions, do I need to change that uid?
[01:18] <Pirsch> willijs3, I've upgraded ubuntu to studio before just through synaptic. I simply checked all packages with 'studio' in the name
[01:19] <zykotick9> Pirsch: mini isn't a livecd (it's a netinstall, basically the d-i install actually) - i'm not sure if it's a hybrid cd/usb or not?  prehaps someone else could confirm/deny?  if it isn't then perhaps unetbootin?
[01:19] <Wilson2bw> hook? where do I type that in Pidgin?
[01:19] <itsmee> any hand with the grub?
[01:19] <Pirsch> zykotick9, ok, as expected, I'm way off on this. Do you know of a site that could get me started/guide me?
[01:19] <h00k> Wilson2bw: in the chat window, where you type things to me
[01:19] <wolfmitchell> willijs3: Just get taskse, then use sudo tasksel, look for tone generation and video generation.
[01:20] <wolfmitchell> *tasksel
[01:20] <zykotick9> Pirsch: no suggestion come to mind? sorry...
[01:20] <Pirsch> zykotick9, ok, that's fine. Knowing I was doing it wrong is the first and most important step. Thanks.
[01:20] <tomi_> Hello all!
[01:21] <tomi_> I'm very-very new here^^
[01:21] <itsmee> any help with the grub problem please? :-(
[01:21] <pooltable> help set up an hp50 emu ??
[01:21] <willijs3> wolfmitchell that's an option.
[01:22] <zykotick9> Pirsch: the mini install has a REALLY cool tasksel (choose what to install) at the beginning i was impressed
[01:22] <wolfmitchell> They are seperate options. Select and install them.
[01:22] <zykotick9> Pirsch: the colour was terrible, but that's another issue ;)
[01:22] <pillboxing> guys, how can test why I  can't write to a mounted smb share?
[01:23] <willijs3> wolfmitchell is Xubuntu good for audio/ video production though
[01:23] <Pirsch> zykotick9, is this the right place to start? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Yeah.
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Just get those.
[01:23] <gmclean> network-manager asks for my wireless password every time even though i've checked "enable for all users" and "activate on startup" or whatever those options are called. on 11.10
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Getting those in tasksel even changes the bootsplash to the one Studio has.
[01:23] <willijs3> wolfmitchell ok thanks for the help.
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Welcome.
[01:24] <wolfmitchell> *Your welcome
[01:24] <itsmee> guys i'm really strugling with grub2, any help?
[01:24] <bazhang> itsmee, check the grub2 wiki
[01:24] <zykotick9> Pirsch: yes.  Why doesn't that page mention USB?  do you have a cd?
[01:24] <bazhang> !grub2 | itsmee
[01:24] <iankp> Is there a way to enter text in X from the command line? I want to send the result of zbar, to make it act like a real scanner.
[01:25] <elijah> Hey guys, I accidentally installed Klipper before and then did a purge and autoremove after that but it only removed <1MB of the >160MB it installed. How can I uninstall the remaining KDE'ish packages? I have instructions here for removing most of the packages but for instance, I know qt4-docs were installed by manually inspection of the /var/cache/apt/archives folder and looking at all the *.debs downloaded in that time frame.
[01:25] <Pirsch> zykotick9, this isn't where I got the ISO image before. I'll start fresh.
[01:25] <itsmee> bazhang, i can't find help in there, i have an specific problem that is not listed on those pages :-(
[01:25] <Wilson2bw> h00k are you there?
[01:25] <elijah> *oops "here" means this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome
[01:25] <bazhang> itsmee, then you need to ask a very clear and specific question
[01:26] <elijah> Is there a way to remove all packages that were installed during a specific time frame?
[01:26] <elijah> I have a list of all the debs I want to remove
[01:26] <Wilson2bw> anyone here using PIDGIN?
[01:27] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, whats the question
[01:27] <hiexpo> pidgen is kool
[01:27] <itsmee> bazhang: i tried to fix my grub trough an application listed on those pages, and i put something called the mbr on the windows partition, thinking that that would make the windows partition reappear on the grub. the thing is that now it says something like ''Mqar is missing'', and grub does not load
[01:27] <pillboxing> guys how can I get an error message for why I can't save a file on a mounted share
[01:27] <Fraz> hi
[01:27] <Fraz> what's a PPA?
[01:28] <zykotick9> !ppa | Fraz
[01:28] <itsmee> bazhang, i honestly don't know what i did
[01:28] <Wilson2bw> bazhang - trying to chat you
[01:28] <Fraz> cheers
[01:28] <hiexpo> !ppa
[01:28] <bazhang> itsmee, what application listed on those pages, pastebin the exact error messages and give us the url
[01:28] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:29] <hiexpo> hola bazhang
[01:29] <itsmee> bazhang: that's gonna be diffiicult, cause i can only run in a live cd, i don't have acces to the hd windows nor linux ubuntu partition. the app was boot-repair, it is listed on that page that you gave me, from there i picked it up
[01:30] <Wilson2bw> ya, trying to chat you personally
[01:30] <Wilson2bw> this group is to busy
[01:30] <Wilson2bw> Bazhang
[01:30] <Fraz> i want to move the unity bar to the bottom like in windows. any suggestions?
[01:30] <iceheart> Good news everyone! I got a jump drive. =D
[01:30] <[deXter]> You mean a flash drive?
[01:30] <iceheart> Same thing.
[01:30] <hiexpo> hey bazhang where's  your ole  buddy   idleone ?
[01:30] <[deXter]> For a sec I thought you were talking about a ZIP drive.
[01:30] <rap424> can anyone help with a sendmail problem?
[01:30] <iceheart> Been two days but finally got ubuntu reinstalling. ^^
[01:30] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, you wish support? then please ask a support question, here in the channel, not via PM
[01:31] <bazhang> hiexpo, stay on topic, Please
[01:31] <iceheart> I've always called it a jump drive, because it jumps files from one computer to another.
[01:31] <Fwenter> I call it a flash drive because it uses flash memory technology
[01:31] <iceheart> Well I suppose if you want to be technical about it.
[01:32] <itsmee> bazhang, any idea about the grub?
[01:32] <Wilson2bw> bazhang > im trying to use THIS channel in Pidgin . I am typing this with MozillaChat.
[01:32] <iceheart> But that's like calling a wheelie bar a tuber wheel contraption or something. lol
[01:32] <rap424> anyone have any idea why emails are being received even if sendmail's queue is empty?
[01:32] <iceheart> Just ain't as catchy
[01:33] <rap424> are not being received*
[01:33] <Fwenter> Except computer hardware is almost always referred to technically
[01:33] <bazhang> itsmee, your issue is not at all clear, please go step by step through the grub2 wiki, then when you hit a step you do not know, or get an error, then pastebin that error
[01:33] <Wilson2bw> @Bazhang > I hate using this webbased chat.. It s hard to keep track of conversations
[01:33] <iceheart> True.
[01:33] <Fwenter> CPUs aren't called GetStuffDone-ers
[01:33] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, then use something else.
[01:33] <iceheart> No but they are often shortened to processors
[01:34] <Fwenter> and Flash Memory Data Drives are often shortened to Flash Drives
[01:34] <Wilson2bw> Baz//. Im trying to use PIDGIN
[01:34] <iceheart> Oh fine, be boring lol
[01:34] <Wilson2bw> instead of this webchat
[01:34] <Fwenter> Will do
[01:34] <[deXter]> Wilson2bw, heh, I thought baz;// was a new protocol!
[01:35] <iceheart> oh good my installation is done ^^
[01:35] <iceheart> My laptop lives again!
[01:35] <pillboxing> so guys
[01:35] <Wilson2bw> ya, I hate using this web based chat, rather be using Pidgin
[01:35] <hiexpo> hiexpo, reverts back to aircrack-ng & pentoo       >    forget  ubuntu  > bazhang  is the boss
[01:35] <Wilson2bw> but it's not working
[01:35] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, then learn some of the pidgin commands? #pidgin is here on freenode, and they're website (along with docs) is at pidgin.im
[01:35] <pillboxing> touch /media/LS/ab.iss gives an access denied error
[01:35] <pillboxing> /192.168.1.149/Scripts  /media/LS cifs  guest,uid=toby,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[01:35] <Fwenter> Wilson2bw: In "account settings" add a new account, set it to IRC, and connect. Buddies > Join Chat > #ubuntu
[01:35] <pillboxing> that's the mount as it's defined, what do I need to change that uid to?
[01:36] <itsmee> bazhang, shouldn't the default password of the live cd be a blank space, because it ask me for one and i hit enter but it doesn't accept it
[01:36] <itsmee> ?
[01:36] <hiexpo> don't fuck with me bazhang
[01:39] <itsmee> what's the default password for the live cd?
[01:39] <bazhang> itsmee, there is none
[01:39] <Faryshta> itsmee, there is no password.
[01:39] <Faryshta> itsmee, where is it asking you for password?
[01:40] <itsmee> the why does it says, ubuntu is not on the sudoers file, this incident will be reported
[01:40] <itsmee> Faryshta, i am doing command line operations on the live cd to restore grub. i went to users, and added ''ubuntu'' to the sudo group
[01:40] <itsmee> but still doesn't wotk
[01:41] <gmclean> network-manager asks for my wireless password every time even though i've checked "enable for all users" and "activate on startup" or whatever those options are called. on 11.10
[01:42] <Faryshta> itsmee, I dont get you. The 'ubuntu' user have all the root permissions like installing software. You are not supposed to use 'sudo' AFAIK.
[01:42] <itsmee> Faryshta, the why does it say that on the command line?
[01:42] <itsmee> Faryshta, ubuntu is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[01:43] <hspcd> anybody got a minute?
[01:43] <Fraz> can someone help me out with this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher
[01:43] <Fraz> step 4, uh?
[01:44] <Faryshta> itsmee, which is the command you are using?
[01:45] <Faryshta> itsmee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#Setting_a_Password
[01:48] <itsmee> Faryshta, any command in  sudo, it won't work. my god, not even the password changer worked
[01:48] <gmclean> my god!
[01:49] <gmclean> maybe you're not a sudoer
[01:49] <moes> itsmee, Try gksu instead of dudo
[01:49] <itsmee> gmclean, i tried to manually add it, but it doesn't work
[01:49] <gmclean> you have to use visudo
[01:49] <gmclean> iirc
[01:50] <gmclean> haha, which you need root permissions for
[01:50] <rap424> anyone have any idea why sendmail wouldn't be sending email even though it is running?
[01:50] <gmclean> i guess if you don't have root it's going to be pretty hard to obtain...
[01:50] <itsmee> gmclean, to restore grub
[01:50] <gmclean> well you want to do that offa cd anyway
[01:51] <itsmee> gmclean, please somebody shot me cause i'm running out of ideas, the gksudo didn't work either
[01:51] <gmclean> whoa you were shot!? you should go to a hospital!
[01:51] <gmclean> i mean, i assume you're installing grub to the mbr
[01:51] <gmclean> if that's the case you want to boot off cd
[01:52] <gmclean> "try ubuntu" or whatever
[01:52] <gmclean> open a terminal, mount your / partition, chroot, reinstall grub, grub-install <device> and then update-grub, should be ok after that.
[01:52] <itsmee> gmclean, i have to completely reinstall the grub2, don't ask why, just screwed everytginf
[01:52] <gmclean> i think
[01:53] <gmclean> i didn't ask why, although i will say that beggars can't be choosers
[01:53] <gmclean> anyway good luck gtg
[01:53] <itsmee> gmclean, yes, but we come to the main axioma, how do i get sudo privileges?
[01:53] <itsmee> i'm philosophal
[01:53] <gmclean> if you boot off cd you shouldn't be able to run sudo and i think the password can be left blank
[01:53] <lazarus_> what would be coool is if they could incroperate update manager into software center
[01:53] <gmclean> if it even asks
[01:54] <gmclean> you can just sudo -i
[01:54] <gmclean> boom root shell
[01:54] <itsmee> gmclean, i leave it blank, it doesn't work
[01:54] <itsmee> gmclean, check out the output for the last command: ubuntu is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[01:54] <donsd> What is a crontab entry for every 15 minutes on the hour. I thought 00/15 would work but it does not. 00,15,30,45 probably works, but ...
[01:55] <donsd> Is there a command like 00/15 that works?
[01:55] <itaylor57> lazarus_, it has already been done, i.e. synaptic lol
[01:56] <enchilado> A wild Tux appears.
[01:56] <johnathanjinger> hey all
[01:56] <lazarus_> itaylor57: no i mean code software center to handle updates
[01:56] <omabena> hello I got an Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n  I'm having issues to make it work with ubuntu 11.10, there are know issues with this hardware?
[01:56] <itsmee> enchilado: have you eaten chile or something?

[01:57] <johnathanjinger> is there a way to make this alot faster
[01:57] <zykotick9> !broadcom | omabena
[01:57] <enchilado> itsmee: not today..
[01:57] <itsmee> enchilado, lol
[01:59] <spacebarbarian> how do I create a user that only can access svn+ssh, just make shell /bin/false ?
[01:59] <pillboxing> so guys, I have the smb share on windows set to allow the user guest and everyone to to write
[02:00] <pillboxing> I'm getting 755 as stats on stat /media/LS

[02:01] <[deXter]> Sorry, wrong number.
[02:01] <pillboxing> but touch /media/LS/ab.iss is reutrning permissions denied
[02:01] <anonymous6> lol
[02:01] <hopstafarian> hi all..
[02:01] <anonymous6> i have a problem
[02:01] <pillboxing> I can't figure out why, is cifs bugged?
[02:01] <anonymous6> anyone care to help?
[02:01] <bazhang> anonymous6, ask the channel
[02:01] <anonymous6> ok
[02:02] <[deXter]> anonymous6, No one can help you if you don't ask the question. :P
[02:02] <pillboxing> sigh
[02:02] <omabena> zykotick9, already did that didn't work
[02:02] <anonymous6> ok so like i have a problem with wine, everytime i click on the executable it won't bring up the wizard it just hangs and quits
[02:03] <hopstafarian> pillboxing, bugged how..?...
[02:03] <pillboxing> idk man, it's not writing any files
[02:03] <bazhang> anonymous6, for what game check the appdb
[02:03] <bazhang> !appdb | anonymous6
[02:03] <anonymous6> actually it is utorrent to a game
[02:03] <bazhang>  /join #winehq for specific apps anonymous6
[02:03] <anonymous6> ok
[02:04] <pillboxing> touch is returning permission denied, sudo touch is returning permission denied
[02:04] <omabena> zykotick9, it just keeps asking me for password, over an over
[02:05] <pillboxing> I gave guest full permissions on source box, and also everyone group full permissions, so I can only put it down to cifs being bugged
[02:05] <zykotick9> omabena: sorry, i don't have anything to add.  i don't have any broadcom hardware.  good luck.
[02:05] <omabena> zykotick9, ok thanks
[02:05] <Smashcat> Hi, anyone got a recommendation for a good gui app to connect to a samba server from Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[02:05] <omabena> I'm having problems connecting my Broadcam wireless card with ubuntu 11.10, any help please
[02:07] <pillboxing> how can I debug my issue? do I have to add something to the fstab? or how can I figure out of cifs is bugged or if my permissions are setup wrong on source box
[02:08] <johnathanjinger> anyone have any clue why my ftp server might be so slow
[02:09] <omabena> well I'm going back to fedora
[02:09] <omabena> laters
[02:09] <Smashcat> bb
[02:10] <johnanthan> sorry about that
[02:10] <hopstafarian> omabena, fedora is pretty solid, i have to say...
[02:11] <hopstafarian> omabena, run and like both...
[02:11] <johnanthan> so i've set up vsftp on my ubuntu server and anytime i try uploading a file to it, it seems to cap out at around 300kb/s any idea why this might be?
[02:11] <pillboxing> I'm thinking I might have to go a different distro too, unity is unusable for me, and kde can't use samba shares properly
[02:11] <Smashcat> First time I've used Linux on the desktop in years (been using it in servers for almost 20 years) - it's come a long way :-) Nice and quick on this laptop with a SSD, but have to  reinstall windows7 on it tomorrow ;-(
[02:12] <Flumpy> Hey guys, I have an interesting problem. I recently built a new computer with a 2TB HDD (partitioned 1TB for Win8, 1TB for Ubuntu) and a 32GB SSD for Windows' System Reserved and Ubuntu's /boot. Except my computer doesn't boot into Grub, it goes straight to the Win8 loader.
[02:12] <hopstafarian> Flumpy, did you check the bios?
[02:12] <roasted> Question - is there a way to set up Deja Dup so it backs up at a very specific time, instead of randomly once a day or once a week?
[02:12] <wiky> omabena, you may add "blacklist acer-wmi" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf,and restart your system
[02:13] <Flumpy> hopstafarian, yes, Grub is installed on /dev/sda which is the SSD
[02:13] <omabena> wiky, what that blacklist thing it's for?
[02:13] <Flumpy> and the SSD is first in the boot order
[02:14] <talalala> hey
[02:14] <talalala> what advantages does ubuntu have over windows xp?
[02:15] <Flumpy> If you're not interested in playing games, or doing work at home, everything.
[02:15] <wiky> omabena, i don't know clearly,but it solved my wireless problem.if it doesn't help,you can delete it
[02:15] <meomic> does anyone have stability problems that started to happen like week ago? - im using ubuntu 10.10 x86-64 - like screen is dimming so fast and no more response from pc - need to power off
[02:15] <johnanthan> talalala it's free for one, and no licensing costs, as well as open source
[02:15] <omabena> wiky, ok thanks I'll give it a shot
[02:15] <cn28h> I'd like to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10 (with 11.04 in between if required), but Update Manager doesn't show the option (I assume because these aren't LTS?). Can I still do the old "aptitude dist-upgrade" or is that no longer considered good?
[02:16] <johnanthan> talalala and can do pretty much everything windows can do if used as a server
[02:16] <jrib> !upgrade | cn28h
[02:16] <WilsonBradley> anyone using Pidgin/
[02:16] <Flumpy> cn28h, I believe you type "update-manager -d" or something similar in the terminal
[02:16] <WilsonBradley> ?
[02:16] <zykotick9> cn28h: you might want to wait for 12.04 to be release and take advantage of LTS->LTS upgrade, if update now...
[02:17] <R3db3ard> cn28h, yes you can still apt-get upgrade to 11.04 then again to 11.10
[02:17] <bazhang> WilsonBradley, whats the specific issue
[02:17] <R3db3ard> I still use 11.04
[02:17] <cn28h> hmm
[02:17] <WilsonBradley> im using Pidgin 2.10.1 (libpurple 2.10.1)
[02:18] <bazhang> WilsonBradley, any question in there?
[02:18] <WilsonBradley> and when I type in a channel the bottom text doesn't show
[02:19] <pillboxing> Hi guys, can anyone here please help me with an smb shaare issue?
[02:19] <cn28h> Flumpy, cool, with -d it's offering me the 12.04 beta which works for me :D
[02:19] <WilsonBradley> not able to see what I type
[02:19] <omabena> hopstafarian, well it's not use the switch my wireless cards it's not supported on fedora either
[02:19] <WilsonBradley> but
[02:19] <WilsonBradley> in a direct chat in Pidgin it works
[02:20] <R3db3ard> pillboxing, please ask your question.
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> hello?
[02:21] <dr_willis> jello!
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> Anyone Imn also haveing problems with Google
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> account
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> in pidgin
[02:22] <Flumpy> Does anyone have any ideas as to why Windows would boot instead of Grub (I installed Ubuntu after Windows)? Or should I just try something more drastic like uninstalling Windows?
[02:23] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  grub dident get put on  the same hd you are booting. it may have failed to load, windows av removed it..
[02:23] <dr_willis> or booting the wrong hd..
[02:23] <dr_willis> !qfixgrub
[02:23] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[02:23] <Flumpy> dr_willis, I'm pretty sure it's on the right hdd, but I'll double check though. Thanks.
[02:24] <skypce> hello guysw
[02:24] <dr_willis> you can also make grub install to a hd, and a spare usb flash. you could then boot the flash if needed
[02:24] <skypce> what is the rgba transparent background color?
[02:25] <donsd> What is a crontab entry for every 15 minutes on the hour. I thought 00/15 would work but it does not. 00,15,30,45 probably works, but ...
[02:25] <donsd> Is there a command like 00/15 that works?
[02:26] <hopstafarian> donsd, * 15 * *?
[02:26] <dr_willis> !cron
[02:27] <donsd> hopstafarian, wouldn
[02:27] <donsd> t that be 3:00pm?
[02:28] <dr_willis> i always just have to google cron examples.. ;) i rarely use cron
[02:28] <hopstafarian> donsd, yes...but asterisk for the rest, and 15 in the appropriate mins slot..
[02:29] <donsd> dr_willis, I've been googling, but most examples show */15, which I do not think would be 00 15 30 45.
[02:29] <hopstafarian> donsd, so 15 * * * */
[02:29] <hopstafarian> ?
[02:30] <dr_willis> try it and see i guess.. wonder if theres a cron simulator web site. )
[02:30] <donsd> hopstafarian, that would be 15 after the hour only, I think.
[02:30] <hopstafarian> donsd, or is it not every fifteen on the hour?
[02:30] <hopstafarian> donsd, sorry, i didn't unnestand the question then..
[02:31] <Flumpy> Does Grub generate log files that I could check from a live cd/usb to see if it's failing?
[02:31] <donsd> 00,15,30,45 * * * * xxx works.  I was just curious.
[02:31] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  not that ive ever noticed..
[02:31] <masen> */15 * * * * * should be every 15 mins
[02:32] <masen> i'm using that all over the place
[02:32] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  the grub installer can print out error messages if thats what you mean
[02:32] <donsd> masen, yes, but not exactly 00, 15, or is it?
[02:32] <Flumpy> dr_willis, no Grub installs fine to the correct hdd, Windows just boots instead for some reason.
[02:33] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  check bios for av/mbr  protection. also try putting grub o a spare small usb flash
[02:34] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  what device are you installing grub onto?
[02:35] <masen> donsd: interesting, i believe you are correct
[02:35] <masen> specifying all of the times as you have will be exact
[02:36] <pillboxing> so guys, can someone please help me debug an smb share permission issue?
[02:36] <zenith> hello, windows has dissappeared from my grub 2 loader and i have tried a hundrer and fifty kabillion things but they don't work, help please (also, i have followed the forum page, but still)
[02:36] <donsd> masen I'm sure there is a command for say every ten minutes at :12, 22 etc.
[02:36] <Flumpy> dr_willis: /dev/sda, which is a 32GB SSD first in the bios boot order. All of Ubuntu is on /dev/sdb2
[02:36] <cookie> zenith: you lost everyting. delete it and move on
[02:37] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  if linux is all on sdb. you could put grub on sdb and tall bios to boot that.  thats how i do it
[02:37] <masen> donsd: it seems like 0-59/15 * * * * * would work as all
[02:37] <dr_willis> cookie:  dont be rude
[02:37] <zenith> cookie, i haven't lost anything because i can see my windows partition still
[02:37] <zenith> from linux
[02:37] <Flumpy> dr_willis: oh... I'll try that, thanks
[02:37] <cookie> dr_willis: wut u talkin' bout willis
[02:37] <masen> for every 10 minutes offset by 2: 2-59/10 * * * *
[02:38] <bazhang> !guidelines > cookie
[02:38] <cookie> zenith: format your hd and recover the data, in that order
[02:38] <bazhang> cookie, thats enough
[02:38] <dr_willis> zenith:  you made a custome entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? thats one way
[02:38] <cookie> bazhnang: lo siento
[02:38] <bazhang> zenith, ignore what he is saying
[02:38] <zenith> cookie, i think you are the next thing that goes aftet sarcasm
[02:38] <zenith> bazhang, i know lol
[02:39] <zenith> dr_willis, yes, i think i did, let me show you what i used
[02:40] <zenith> dr_willis, http://www.ubuntu-es.org/node/145664?destination=node%2F145664
[02:40] <zenith> it is in spanish, but still
[02:40] <dr_willis> i often use a custom entry, then disable os-prober because i normally dont want to see the windows restore entries and so forth
[02:41] <zykotick9> dr_willis: only drawback to that method is kernel updates in gnu/linux ;)
[02:42] <dr_willis> zenith:  you seem to have no custome entry. and os-prober is not seeing aznything
[02:42] <zenith> dr_willis, i have no idea of what you told me, could you explain me a little more?
[02:43] <cookie> hey guys, i rm -f my root directory
[02:43] <cookie> wut do
[02:43] <dr_willis> the 40_custom file lets you make a specific enttty for whatever you want. find a example entry for windows. and put it in the 40_custom file.  rerun update-grub
[02:43] <donsd> masen I will experiment, using your suggestions.
[02:43] <cookie> anyone?
[02:44] <masen> cookie: try in a vm?
[02:44] <cookie> :(
[02:44] <cookie> try wut in a vm?
[02:44] <bazhang> cookie, enough nonsense
[02:44] <masen> rm -r /
[02:44] <cookie> i already did though, my comp is pooped. wut do?
[02:44] <dr_willis> please  dont feed the trolls.
[02:44] <cookie> bazhang: im being cereal
[02:44] <masen> dr_willis: how do you silence a user on irc?
[02:45] <danny> hello ubuntu is significantly slower internet then when im on my windows side what should i do ?
[02:45] <zenith> dr_willis, where exactly is the 40_ custom file?
[02:45] <dr_willis> zenith:  you made a custome entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? thats one way
[02:45] <cookie> danny: rm -f /
[02:45] <dr_willis> zenith:  its mentioned i the grub2 docs also
[02:45] <cookie> in your ubuntu terminal
[02:45] <dr_willis> !grub2
[02:45] <cookie> remember to use sudo
[02:45] <danny> cookie: what does that do ?
[02:45]  * hopstafarian begs of in lieu of dinner..
[02:45] <zenith> omg cookie get out
[02:46] <zenith> don't listen danny
[02:46] <bazhang> danny, ignore him, he's gone
[02:46] <zenith> don't do that
[02:46] <danny> i thought that looked like a very bad command
[02:46] <danny> but if anyone has any suggestions im hear to listen
[02:47] <dr_willis> danny:  i dont even recall the problem
[02:47] <masen> danny: slower how? do pages load slower, or is browsing a loaded page sluggish?
[02:48] <webnet> bazhang, ty he was beginning to annoy
[02:49] <roasted> Question - if I am pushing a backup to my file server, would that file server be looked at as actively running? I'm curious... if I set it so my file server will suspend within 1 hour of inactivity... is that mouse/keyboard activity or does that include network activity too?
[02:49] <danny> all internet activty is much slower like enough to know it has to be the os cause usually os realy doesnt have an effect on internet but on the same comupter in the same chair in my house when im on my windows side it runs fine but on ubuntu its very sluggish like sometimes tells me software center cant conect to internet and update manager wont conecnt and sometimes web pages wont load
[02:49] <masen> are you connecting via ethernet?
[02:49] <danny> nope wifi
[02:50] <Whiskey> Is it possible to grep a software and print oout the information
[02:50] <Flumpy> roasted: my best guess is to say no, network activity doesn't count
[02:51] <jey> hi, Ubuntu seems to throttle my CPU heavily instead of running the fans when my machine is under high load. I'm running 11.10 oneiric on a Thinkpad Edge laptop. I'm using the sensors command from lm-sensors to monitor my temperature & fan speed
[02:51] <bearly230> Hello all. I was hoping you all could point me to a good guide for setting up an internet gateway using ubuntu 11.10.
[02:51] <danny> Whiskey: how can i do that ?
[02:51] <roasted> Flumpy: bummer. I'm trying to find a way to get my file server to kick off after it doesn't sense any network activity for a while :(
[02:51] <masen> danny: which version of ubuntu
[02:51] <jey> the fans seem to run at a constant speed regardless of load, but the cpu gets throttled severely
[02:51] <danny> masen: 11.10
[02:51] <dr_willis> !ics
[02:51] <bearly230> Thanks
[02:52] <masen> roasted: if you have a router or some other box on the network, you could use a Wake on Lan approach to wake the file server
[02:52] <Flumpy> roasted: Like turn off? You could probably write a script to do that, but I wouldn't be the correct authority for that sort of magic.
[02:52] <roasted> masen: router doesn't support it
[02:52] <masen> danny: try something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
[02:52] <Ystah> Hi, I'm new in linux/ubuntu, i'm trying to install this software http://keymouse.berlios.de, and I'm getting error when type ./autogen.sh
[02:52] <roasted> Flumpy: well, it'd be nice if I could control it to say, if no network activity (via rsync or samba moving data to it) for 15 minutes, put in suspend mode, etc.
[02:52] <masen> danny: this will disable power management on the interface which may be causing issues
[02:52] <dr_willis> wake on lan never seems to wirk for me
[02:52] <Ystah> someone can help?
[02:53] <roasted> dr_willis: what wake on lan utilities have you used?
[02:53] <iris> Hello, I'm having trouble with my Broadcom driver, it wont load any pages :s Can anyone help me?
[02:53] <dr_willis> roasted: several over the years. havent tried lately.
[02:54] <roasted> dr_willis: like actual software packages to do it? or router-based utilities?
[02:54] <Flumpy> roasted: And then resume when there is activity? Interesting thought. You may be able to mimic supsension/hibernation by powering down the disks and reducing clock speed with a script, but otherwise I dunno.
[02:54] <dr_willis> can wireless do wake on lan?
[02:54] <pup-0854> Iris, sync
[02:54] <pup-0854> Io
[02:54] <masen> i'm under the impression that WOL is unsupported on wireless
[02:55] <roasted> Flumpy: not really to resume when there's activity... more like... wake on lan @ 545 pm, then sync data at 6 pm, then power off if theres no activity for 15 mins
[02:55] <danny> masen, http://paste.ubuntu.com/882703/
[02:55] <roasted> Flumpy: so say it syncs data for 10 mins, then 15 mins of inactivity 625 it should suspend
[02:55] <roasted> dr_willis: I'm willing to bet WOL doesn't work if the target system is wireless. If you're using a laptop to WOL another system that's wired, I'd bet it would work.
[02:55] <roasted> dr_willis: educated guess
[02:55] <danny> masen: says it already off if u went to the same sight i did i have already tried this and it had no effect
[02:56] <dr_willis> with the other power saveing features of pcs these days. i doubt if an idle box is drawing much power. nit wirth it to suspend
[02:56] <roasted> dr_willis: yeah, I thought about that too.
[02:56] <roasted> dr_willis: I'm trying to be green with it. this file server is for my parents... I'd hate to drop a box in their basement that runs 247365 if they don't truly need it
[02:57] <masen> danny: were you experiencing this issue with a previous version? or is this the first?
[02:57] <roasted> dr_willis: especially since its not a gaming rig sucking power... its a pentium dual core box, 300w 80+ psu, and a single 7200 rpm hdd... no pci cards, optical drives, etc.
[02:57] <donsd> masen, all your suggestions were correct: */4 every 4 min 00 04 08, etc. 3-57/4 every 4 min 03,07,11 etc.
[02:57] <dr_willis> roasted:  ssh to it and use it. :)
[02:57] <roasted> dr_willis: what would me sshing to it have to do with anything?
[02:57] <masen> donsd: cool!
[02:58] <danny> masen: hmm i kinda reinstall ubuntu alot ha been trying diff distros and stuff like that and when i used 10.10 it was fine but i never used 11.o4
[02:58] <dr_willis> always usefull to have a spare box somewhere :)
[02:58] <roasted> dr_willis: I should get a watt meter...
[02:58] <Flumpy> roasted: It seems you might be able to use cron to wake from suspend, and probably to put it back into suspend as well. I imagine this would suite your needs?
[02:58] <roasted> and test it idle...
[02:59] <roasted> Flumpy: sounds like it, though extensive reading suggests theres no way to wake a system from dead sleep or suspend, that BIOS needs to initiate that.
[02:59] <roasted> Flumpy: I set the bios to turn this computer on 2 mins from earlier and it worked. I set it to turn on at 530 tonight but it never came on.... drat.
[02:59] <dr_willis> roasted:  i imagine their microwave takes 10x the powar. ;)
[02:59] <Rourick> help please i need a program to burn iso to usb in linux?
[03:00] <roasted> dr_willis: I wouldn't doubt it. But hey, if I can save a few bucks in power, I'd like to. they already have 6 computers in the house.
[03:00] <Flumpy> roasted: A very brief google returns something about rtcwake, a built-in kernel utility for waking an sleeping.
[03:00] <roasted> Flumpy: ah, I lied. I did hear about rtcwake... I forgot that one.
[03:00] <dr_willis> Rourick:  pendrive linux site has several tools. depends on the details
[03:01] <Rourick> im looking all i see is .exe files
[03:01] <Scott_S> Rourick: http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/568/unetbootin-linux-568
[03:01] <roasted> dr_willis: kill a watt at radioshack for 25 bucks... going to grab one tomorrow.
[03:01] <Scott_S> Rourick: Simple chmod +x the executable then ./unetbootin-linux-568
[03:01] <Rourick> ok thanks
[03:01] <roasted> dr_willis: I reckon the box will uses 75 watts at idle...
[03:02] <dr_willis> roasted: yep. i need one of those also
[03:02] <dr_willis> roasted:  i would guess less.. but it may depend on the age of the bix
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> Hi asll
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> Hi All
[03:03] <roasted> dr_willis: at work I had a different system, but still a pentium dual core system, idle at 75
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> How is everyone?
[03:03] <roasted> dr_willis: P4 idled at like 140, and intel atom nettop idled at 2
[03:03] <dr_willis> pents are old. :)
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> Im so happy with Ubunut
[03:04] <dr_willis> roasted:  wonder what a cherry.pi uses.. :) id bet.1.
[03:04] <roasted> dr_willis: raspberry? :P
[03:04] <Flumpy> roasted: I came across lesswatts.org if all you're interested in is saving power.
[03:04] <diraol> Hi firends, on ubuntu 11.04 the wireless connections info was stored on ~/.gconf/system/networking. Where are this info on ubuntu 12.04?
[03:05] <WilsonBradley> Hello?
[03:05] <dr_willis> cant get any . so may as well call it a goosberry pi
[03:06] <roasted> Flumpy: good find... but I'm not sure I can squeeze any more out of that setup.... after all there's no expansion cards, no optical drive, no built in wireless or bluetooth, and no monitor plugged in
[03:06] <roasted> Flumpy: its literally psu, proc, ram, hdd
[03:06] <Flumpy> roasted: Well I dunno, but good luck.
[03:08] <masen> roasted: how did rtcwake work for you?
[03:08] <escott> diraol, dconf
[03:08] <roasted> masen: didn't have the chance to try it. the box in question is at my parents turned off, and its 11 at night. Just doing some resaerch for it tomorrow. :)
[03:09] <diraol> escot, dconf? That woudl be something like "~/.dconf"?
[03:10] <diraol> I found it! ~/.config/dconf
[03:11] <diraol> But there isn't a system or network folder.
[03:14] <Tibas> wow
[03:14] <mneptok> diraol: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 issues
[03:15] <diraol> mneptok, thanks! =)
[03:17] <Draconicus> Hi all. I'm having trouble getting Compiz working in gnome-classic in 11.10. I have already removed the notifications requirement in gnome-classic.session.
[03:18] <Draconicus> I have seen Compiz work correctly in Unity with this same hardware/driver configuration - in fact I didn't even shut down. I'm sure Compiz should be working.
[03:27] <Draconicus> The channel is quiet tonight.
[03:28] <Zac_o_O> that sounds like a line from a movie! :)
[03:28] <abe> how to install the onboard intel vga driver DH61DL & DH61WW series on ubuntu 10.04?
[03:31] <Draconicus> Welp, I deleted ubuntu.session and I have no idea how to get it back. :)
[03:32] <danny> how do i change the channel my wifi is on for example my droid can be changed from channel 1-11
[03:32] <trism> Draconicus: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-session;
[03:32] <Draconicus> trism: ...gnome-session contains the unity session file?
[03:33] <trism> Draconicus: yes
[03:33] <Draconicus> Yaknow, I thought I'd come into this channel with the pretense of ignorance, since that tends to get an answer quicker. The truth is, I've been using Ubuntu since Breezy.
[03:34] <Draconicus> Now I have to say that I am troubled by how little my years of Ubuntu experience are helping me with the strange issues I am encountering here in 11.10.
[03:35] <danny> Draconicus: i have allways gotten help just sometimes people dont know the answear so if u ask at multiple times during the day when different people are on ur bound to find ur answear but if u been with ubuntu that long then u know how far it has come and how many bugs have been worked out glad u stuck with it :D
[03:36] <Draconicus> danny: For every bug solved, a new one is created.
[03:37] <Draconicus> I'd love to know what I can't start a barebones desktop session with nothing but a terminal, and still can't start Compiz without it hanging - not crashing... just hanging.
[03:37] <Draconicus> That... sentence got away from me a bit.
[03:38] <danny> Draconicus: sry ha but still glad u got stuck with it
[03:39] <Draconicus> Maybe I'll just push to the 12.04 beta. Oneiric is starting to look like another Feisty.
[03:39] <WilsonBradley> 12.04 works nice with Compiz
[03:40] <Draconicus> Oh goodie.
[03:40] <WilsonBradley> After install, had to update Compiz to weekly build, drivers, and  latest Unity
[03:40] <danny> Draconicus: i just reverted back to 11.10 but u go for it there are bugs though more so then 11.10
[03:41] <WilsonBradley> OK, im using Pidgin, seems to crash when I try to enable google account. Also IRC Channel window  Like this one, I can't read what I type. the bottom bar is to thin to read.
[03:41] <Draconicus> danny, do you know what it means when I rip out all of compiz's config files, completely remove all packages, purge unity for good measure, start a bare terminal session from lightdm and type "compiz --replace" only to watch it choke and hang - not crash but just sit there?
[03:41] <Draconicus> (I reinstalled the compiz packages after the purge, of course)
[03:42] <danny> Draconicus: ha i have used compiz many times there is a reason they are puting a warning on it now i just dont mess with it anymore unless i know for a fact it will work well or i try it first on my test computer
[03:43] <Draconicus> danny: It didn't need a warning before Unity.
[03:43] <Draconicus> Who remembers Beryl? I was there for Beryl. That was rock-solid stable.
[03:43] <WilsonBradley> I remember Beryl
[03:44] <Draconicus> Without Beryl, Emerald's icon seems less... meaningful.
[03:44] <WilsonBradley> seemed like Beryl=Compiz
[03:44] <Draconicus> If you can even get Emerald working.
[03:44] <iheartubuntu> hello! i have 11.10 on two computers. one computer i see a full menu (compose,check mail, etc) when i right click "thunderbird" in my app launcher, but another computer its a very short list. the first computer also shows me how many unread messages i have. how do i get the app luancher on 2nd computer to match 1st computer?
[03:44] <Draconicus> Beryl got a lot of texture effects working before rejoining the group. You can thank Beryl for wobbly windows.
[03:44] <WilsonBradley> Whats the best chat client?
[03:44] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: I have been using X-Chat for years. I lurves it.
[03:45] <iheartubuntu> WilsonBradley - many people will say xchat, but i like the built in IRC chat in Pidgin
[03:45] <WilsonBradley> I coudlnt get things working in xvhat
[03:45] <danny> Draconicus: yeh i agree completly i dont agree with unity i am starting to use gnome 3 but its brand new and that means they gotta restart quite alot of stuff maybe try getting back an old version of gnome i bet that might fix ur issues
[03:45] <WilsonBradley> xchat
[03:45] <Draconicus> Watch out for "X-Chat Gnome". That is completely different. It's like X-Chat for babies or something.
[03:45] <iheartubuntu> Empathy also can handle IRC
[03:45] <Draconicus> danny: I'm an Xfce fan, myself.
[03:45] <roasted> Anybody know if there's a way to Wake On LAN a system on the network at a specific time with something like gwakeuplan, etc?
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> I tried Xchat
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> something didn't work about it
[03:46] <danny> Draconicus: i agree compelty but gnome 3 has some realy interesting ui still bit buggy but as far as stabilty x is the way to go ive found out
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> now tried to start using Pidgin , but
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> problems
[03:47] <iheartubuntu> give Empathy a try as it does IRC too
[03:47] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: It's a bit more hands-on. If you set your favorite network to autojoin with some good channels and whatnot, and tell the network dialog to skip on startup, you're in good shape. I also recommend switching from tab to tree view.
[03:47] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Do you know how hard I have to work to get empathy out of the system? It's as bad as evolution for how deeply rooted it is.
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> anyone here know about the Unity app launcher?
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> yah i dont like empathy either
[03:48] <Draconicus> ...
[03:48] <Draconicus> Why are you recommending it?
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> thunderbird kicks butt
[03:48] <WilsonBradley> how do I switch to tree view?
[03:48] <bilegt> how to set default brightness setting at startup? found some solutions from internet, but they don't work.
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> the guy wants to do IRC
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> empathy isnt "bad"... its just not my fave
[03:48] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: It's in the view options. Channel Switcher
[03:49] <Draconicus> Especially good if you go to many places at once.
[03:49] <iheartubuntu> not happy about Tomboy though. I use it extensively
[03:49] <sacarlson> roasted: I assume another running system will be the one that wakes a 2nd system on lan?  so a script that runs in cron that sends wake mesg.
[03:49] <WilsonBradley> Are you talking about Pidgin?
[03:49] <Draconicus> What happened to Tomboy? I just use the old sticky notes plugin from gnome version forever-ago
[03:49] <inzi> hey
[03:49] <iheartubuntu> holy cow almost 1500 people in here. i remember when it was like 150
[03:49] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: No, X-Chat
[03:50] <satyanash> iheartubuntu, 2005 ?
[03:50] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Those were the days. You could actually carry on a useful conversation.
[03:50] <fragske> using xchat-gnome atm, does look a lot like xchat tbh
[03:50] <Draconicus> I think I got into Ubuntu around '06.
[03:50] <inzi> iheartubuntu, ubuntu has grown!
[03:50] <iheartubuntu> tomboy is being dropped from 12.04 and is no longer accessible from U1
[03:50] <roasted> sacarlson: yeah, basically. I'm trying to set things up on a schedule so the file server is only on when it needs to be on... aka... my computer fires up and I'm using it. I have it set to WOL the file server at 5:55 PM, then at 6:00 PM my system rsyncs to it, etc.
[03:50] <fragske> but it's been a while since ive been using irc :)
[03:50] <iheartubuntu> yeah 2006 for me!
[03:50] <inzi> which is the ubuntu chat channel
[03:50] <roasted> sacarlson: if I can mesh up a schedule of WOL as well as rsync (I can already handle rsync) that'd be great.
[03:51] <inzi> since this channel is only for help..i dont want to be kickd out
[03:51] <iheartubuntu> i havent been in this room for a while. mostly in california room
[03:51] <Draconicus> fragske: It's the weirds knockoff thing I've ever seen. It's as bad as gnome-screensaver for dumbing things down. "What do you mean they have settings?!" is a reaction I got from one customer when I described xscreensaver.
[03:51] <iheartubuntu> i have 11.10 on two computers. one computer i see a full menu (compose,check mail, etc) when i right click "thunderbird" in my app launcher, but another computer its a very short list. the first computer also shows me how many unread messages i have. how do i get the app luancher on 2nd computer to match 1st computer?
[03:51] <iheartubuntu> there is a unity room... anyone remember the name?
[03:52] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Crazy idea, but is one using unity2d?
[03:52] <WilsonBradley> I cant seem to get xchat to work
[03:52] <WilsonBradley> doesn't connect
[03:52] <iheartubuntu> thats interesting. i dont think so, but i should check.
[03:52] <inzi> Draconicus, are u on unity or gnome3?
[03:52] <inzi> i mean gnome shell
[03:52] <WilsonBradley> or not sure how to add this server for example
[03:52] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: What are you setting? You have to click "Edit" after you type the network name.
[03:52] <sacarlson> roasted: if you want a single script just add a sleep in your script and maybe some test to verify your wake system woke up
[03:53] <Draconicus> inzi: Xfce.
[03:53] <Draconicus> Man, I should have said IceWM or something just to be silly.
[03:53] <iheartubuntu> xubuntu or debian with xfce?
[03:53] <satyanash> iheartubuntu, I think the channel is #ubuntu-unity
[03:53] <roasted> sacarlson: well, I'm not even sure how I would schedule sending a wakeonlan packet to my file server, let alone scripting to verify it really woke up.
[03:53] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Why would a Debian user be in here?
[03:53] <iheartubuntu> ubuntu is based on debian, plus theres a lot more going on in ubuntu these days
[03:54] <WilsonBradley>  Connecting to irc.2600.net (207.99.30.200) port 6667...
[03:54] <WilsonBradley> * Connection failed. Error: Network is unreachable
[03:54] <Draconicus> I was using Xfce4-Panel+Nautilus+Compiz+AWN happily as my desktop environemnt in 10.10. Just upgraded the whole way to 11.10 and thankfully it didn't eat my apache stuff.
[03:54] <sacarlson> roasted: I don't think the script runs in the server it runs in your runing desktop that wakes it up
[03:55] <WilsonBradley> How do I turn off the annoying sound when a tab opens in Firefox?
[03:55] <WilsonBradley> I don;'t know how it started
[03:55] <Draconicus> I upgraded. Xfce ran. Compiz worked in it. Everything was great. I restarted and it never worked again.
[03:55] <Draconicus> Too good to be true. :(
[03:56] <roasted> sacarlson: right, I get that. At any rate I just figured it out. There's a terminal command for "wakeonlan", whcih is simply, wakeonlan 00:11:22:33:44:55 etc.. I can just cron that to run at a specific time, such as 5:58 like I said in the earlier example.
[03:56] <iheartubuntu> thanks for the chat name satyanash
[03:56] <sacarlson> roasted: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/etherwake.8.html  is what I found
[03:57] <Draconicus> Oh, here's a good one: Why on earth is caribou REQUIRED to use Gnome 3? How can that possibly be a dependency?
[03:57] <sacarlson> roasted: etherwake is what is run on the sender side
[03:58] <Draconicus> I went to type in Firefox in Xfce after playing with gnome-tweak-tool to smooth out some GTK3 settings and an on-screen keyboard called Antler popped up and wouldn't go away even after I killed every process I could find for it. I had to re-log-in to make it go away. D:

[03:58] <WilsonBradley> then it times out
[03:58] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: It's irc.freenode.net
[03:59] <Draconicus> I think chat.freenode.net is their java-client URL, isn't it?
[04:00] <Draconicus> Yep. Installing a package called gnome-session creates the session file for Unity.
[04:00] <WilsonBradley> I dont know why it changes to chat.freenode.net
[04:00] <Draconicus> THIS RELEASE OF UBUNTU SURE IS POLISHED! :D
[04:01] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: You mean it's just doing that?
[04:01] <WilsonBradley> I closed and restarted
[04:01] <Draconicus> "* Looking up irc.freenode.net"
[04:01] <Draconicus> Go to the network manager, click on the freenode entry, click "edit" and make sure it says irc.freenode.net
[04:01] <Jay_Levitt> Fresh Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit install; why might I not be able to play a .wav file in Firefox or Chrome?
[04:02] <Draconicus> Don't worry about the /6667 junk. It does that by default anyway.
[04:02] <Jay_Levitt> (The file shows up in the browser with a player but doesn't actually play)
[04:02] <WilsonBradley> it'sya, I kept taking the 6667 out
[04:03] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: Have you tested your hard drive recently? If the config file for X-Chat is giving you issues, I'd worry about write errors on the disk.
[04:04] <WilsonBradley> Hu?
[04:04] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: You should check dmesg for I/O error reports just in case. It seems like the settings aren't sticking in X-Chat.
[04:04] <Draconicus> Don't connect all this time. Instead, make the changes, close the program, re-open and edit again to see if they stick
[04:05] <WilsonBradley> when I go back in they are still there
[04:05] <Draconicus> If all else fails, type /server irc.freenode.net into the chat box. That always works.
[04:06] <Draconicus> It's weird. I'm used to this channel being flooded with activity to the point where you can't hope to be noticed without repeating yourself every five minutes... Now it's so... dead. o_o

[04:07] <Draconicus> You typed "/server irc.freenode.net" into the chat box and hit enter?
[04:07] <Draconicus> Close the network dialog entirely. Forget that for now.
[04:07] <WilsonBradley> yes in xchat
[04:08] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: Okay, so in X-Chat you closed the Network Connection dialog and went to the bottom of the window, clicked on the text area, typed "/server irc.freenode.net" and it said it was connecting to gamesnet?
[04:08] <dax_> Draconicus, WilsonBradley: chat.freenode.net is correct. irc.freenode.net is a pointer to it. We have no Java client.
[04:09] <Draconicus> dax_: ...Oh. :o
[04:09] <dax_> (you're perhaps thinking of webchat.freenode.net, which is javascript)
[04:09] <Draconicus> dax_: What about "gamesnet"?
[04:09] <WilsonBradley> no I tried a few different ones
[04:09] <dax_> Draconicus, no idea
[04:10] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: Got any firewalls? That could do it I guess. I don't know at this point. Maybe your computer is possessed. Call an exorcist.

[04:11] <Draconicus> I get that Pidgin works. That alone should say you're not having connectivity problems. I'm still putting my money on the possession theory.
[04:12] <WilsonBradley> possession?
[04:12] <dax_> 85.94.204.146 isn't a freenode server address.
[04:12] <Draconicus> dax_: We're lucky to have you here for this. I'll let you take over. I hope you like X-Chat.
[04:12] <dax_> anyways, try /join #freenode, they'll probably be able to figure it out
[04:13] <dax_> (or maybe something'll come to me, but this isn't really on-topic for #ubuntu, so...)
[04:13] <WilsonBradley> ok, will ask there.
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> What it runs down to, is im  looking for a good chat/irc client that WORKJS\
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> everything I tried has problems.
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> Xchat, Pidgin
[04:14] <din> WilsonBradley: maybe you have an /etc/hosts entry for irc.freenode.net ?
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> where is the host file in ubuntu?
[04:15] <WilsonBradley> ill check
[04:15] <din> or your router has a caching dns service
[04:15] <din> or your machine has it cached as that?
[04:15] <cornerse> dax_: cool story bro.
[04:16] <Draconicus> Yep.
[04:16] <soidexe> hey there! I have 10.04 server edition and I have an old tzdata package there (2010i-1). I did apt-get update and apt-get install tzdata but it says it has the newest version. How can I update it?
[04:17] <Draconicus> I was able to remove "unity-greeter" and keep lightdm installed, all without any red flags. Completely breaks lightdm.
[04:17] <Draconicus> If I filed all the bugs I find in 11.10 I'd have to make it my new hobby.
[04:17] <scientes> i've set up a router before, but its always so ugly
[04:18] <scientes> i want something resilient
[04:18] <sacarlson> soidexe: if you already have the newest in your repository and you want a newer one you might try the ppa version
[04:20] <zykotick9> sacarlson: tzdata is not something you should have to leave the repository to get updates for.  soidexe if your tzdata isn't up-to-date for you locale, you should file a bug.
[04:21] <dax_> !info tzdata lucid-updates
[04:21] <dax_> !info tzdata lucid
[04:21] <dax_> figured
[04:22] <dax_> sacarlson: You're missing a repository. Probably lucid-updates.
[04:22] <sacarlson> soidexe:  zykotick9:  is correct it should change much anyway unless someone changes the date of daylight saveings at some point
[04:23] <zykotick9> dax_: that makes more sense, thanks.
[04:23] <sacarlson> shouldn't change
[04:23] <zykotick9> sacarlson: i remember several changes to tzdata last year (due to changes in the US i believe), don't remember seening any this year
[04:24] <soidexe> there were changes in Moscow, Russia
[04:24] <soidexe> I just downloaded a deb file. not sure it's a proper way though
[04:25] <zykotick9> soidexe: it's not.  you should be seeing Version 2012b-0ubuntu0.10.04 from repositories.
[04:26] <soidexe> zykotick9: yeah, it is. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/all/tzdata/
[04:26] <soidexe> one more question. what would be a proper to install python2.7 on 10.04?
[04:27] <soidexe> I'm a bit tired of ppa as they often go somewhere down
[04:29] <ponrajuganesh> is there an option so that one could be make the script execute at a particular time
[04:29] <soidexe> ponrajuganesh: like "parent control"?
[04:30] <dax_> !cron | ponrajuganesh
[04:30] <scientes> !router
[04:32] <urgodfather> does anyone know how to reinstall a factory *.wim image to a specific partition through ubuntu?
[04:32] <urgodfather> or is it even possible?
[04:34] <scientes> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[04:34] <scientes> can i use -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o !eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[04:34] <scientes> instead, notice the "!"
[04:34] <scientes> so it will forward to whatever the default gateway is?
[04:35] <scientes> or even not set the -o option
[04:36] <superdave321> Can someone point me to an article that can help me use chown from a live disk?
[04:37] <unsecur3d> any good tut on ubuntu server for samba file server config ?
[04:37] <urgodfather> anyone?
[04:39] <sacarlson> scientes: I don't fully understand your goal but my masq line looks like $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
[04:40] <scientes> sacarlson, i don't have a static $EXTIF
[04:40] <scientes> could be wifi, could be 3G,
[04:40] <aeon-ltd> unsecur3d: have you read through these https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba ?
[04:40] <scientes> i just want it to use the route table
[04:40] <scientes> but perhaps block the same interface stuff came in on
[04:40] <scientes> so that would be -o !$INTIF
[04:40] <sacarlson> scientes: I guess the script would run at each change then?   I'm not sure
[04:41] <scientes> sacarlson, no, the ip route table takes care of that
[04:41] <unsecur3d> didnt even know that site existed, about to check it out. also found a good one here: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-11.10-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend
[04:41] <scientes> sacarlson, when you dhcp a new connection, it resets the default gateway
[04:42] <sacarlson> scientes: this just points at the device not the ip address so I guess it would still work
[04:42] <scientes> yeah i dont really want a firewall
[04:42] <scientes> i just want masquerade
[04:43] <scientes> so ufw isn't really for me
[04:43] <scientes> what i really want is it to be easily off/on able
[04:43] <scientes> with dnsmasq
[04:45] <SnnCnnry> anyone out there  geocacher?  Any good way to geocache on linux.  I have a garmin 60csx.
[04:45] <scientes> so that i wont screw up when i connect to a ethernet network
[04:45] <scientes> i gues i can keep the masquerade rules and just turn off dnsmasq
[04:46] <scientes> how could i get a trigger with network manager on that?
[04:46] <BoomerBile> how do you add a service to a run level on the command line interface?
[04:46] <scientes> BoomerBile, update-rc.d
[04:47] <BoomerBile> is the default run level in ubuntu still default?
[04:47] <scientes> update-rc.d $SERVICE_NAME defaults
[04:47] <BoomerBile> i.e update-rc.d -n basename default
[04:47] <zosky> hi yall. i run a ubuntu 10.04 server and exim4 stoped working yesterday. i figured something got stuck, but mailq just gives "Illegal instruction" i tried dpgk reconfig and got 'Invalid new configfile... not installing"  ??? help plz

[04:48] <scientes> yeah it works the same as debian
[04:48] <WilsonBradley> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[04:48] <scientes> zosky, use postfix :P
[04:48] <BoomerBile> thanks scientes... in gentoo we use rc-update add service default/boot/sysinit/runlevel
[04:48] <zosky> scientes: thats not a solution, thats a work-around
[04:49] <scientes> zosky, yeah, sorry for my personal opinion

[04:50] <abe_> fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution
[04:50] <WilsonBradley> I give up on Pidign

[04:52] <abe_> fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution
[04:55] <sacarlson> scientes: I wonder if you could just add a script at /etc/network/interfaces  with a line up   /etc/network/scripts/runatdhcp ; I'm not sure what event happens when dhcp changes your ip; in fact your ip normaly stays the same over a sesion so this might work
[04:56] <scientes> sacarlson, your ip stays the same because both your computer and the dhcp server has a mapping, and it tries to reuse it
[04:56] <scientes> but im not using network/interfaces, i am using networkmanager
[04:56] <sacarlson> scientes: yes so only time it normaly changes is up and down that this will run your script to set your masq
[04:57] <scientes> well actually it would be up w/ dhcp -->turn off; down with dhcp, turn on
[04:57] <sacarlson> scientes: I thought networkmanager used interfaces also
[04:57] <scientes> with what it is turning on/off is the dhcp server
[04:58] <scientes> i can keep the masquerade
[04:58] <scientes> it wont screw up anything
[04:59] <Bruce_Wayne> hey guys, I have been using ubuntu since long.. But since when Unity showed up, I didn't upgrade my system. I'm currently on 10.10... And my Ubuntu 10.10's support is ending next month.. My question is, what happens after support ends.. Will my system stop working.. or it's just the repository support they're talking about..?
[05:00] <sacarlson> scientes: I run dhcp also but have my dhcpd always set my system with this mac to the same address
[05:01] <scientes> sacarlson, yeah it keeps a leases file, and also your computer will always ask for what it last had
[05:01] <sacarlson> Bruce_Wayne: at worst you just can't add new software or updates.
[05:01] <scientes> (and you can also set it static)
[05:01] <domo1> how do I see a version of a specific package?
[05:02] <zykotick9> Bruce_Wayne: no security support is a HUGE deal
[05:02] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, your computer will keep working
[05:02] <sacarlson> scientes: in my case it forces me to use this ip even if I ask for another for this mac address
[05:02] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, the new version are alot nicer
[05:02] <scientes> faster, more power-efficient
[05:02] <scientes> sacarlson, yeah it just sends you that one
[05:03] <sacarlson> scientes: but If I was to move to another net the dhcp would work normaly
[05:03] <Bruce_Wayne> sacarlson: Thanks.. Did you mean from online repository? Or I won't be able to unzip any gz2 files and install? ......
[05:03] <scientes> yeah thats how dhcp works, it can send you whatever it wants to
[05:03] <scientes> you could set it statically still
[05:04] <sacarlson> Bruce_Wayne: just the repository, you can still download from other locations and compile if you already had the compile packages installed
[05:04] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you could still install .deb packages from other repositories, (like a new ubuntu version)
[05:04] <scientes> and you can even download all the old debs for quite some time
[05:04] <scientes> it just means that you don't get any security support
[05:04] <Bruce_Wayne> scientes: I know.. But I haven't got time to install these all packages I'm using from current OS.. Is there any way to back all installed packages up and restore them when I upgrade to 12.04?
[05:05] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you mean packages that wern't from ubuntu?
[05:05] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, if they were from ubuntu, it will all upgrade seemlessly
[05:06] <scientes> otherwise the packages might break, as Ubuntu doesn't keep binary compatibility in alot of cases
[05:06] <Bruce_Wayne> scientes: No I mean, all the packages or apps I have currently installed, So that I don't have to reconfigure them.. for eg: Rhythmbox, my programming IDE: Eclipse, My dictionary: Artha, all..
[05:07] <sacarlson> Bruce_Wayne: you can create a list of the apps now installed and use that list to try on the new installed system, but some may no longer exist
[05:07] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you wont have to reconfigure them, it will keep all your old settings
[05:07] <Bruce_Wayne> scientes: Yes, I'm currently on Ubuntu 10.10
[05:07] <lilVaratep> Where can I change the font for terminal when I use dwm in ubuntu 11.10?
[05:07] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you should already backup, but even if you install fresh, when you mount your home it will probably just work
[05:08] <scientes> for alot of software
[05:08] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: what terminal are you using?
[05:08] <sacarlson> scientes: Bruce_Wayne: and that would be from a fresh install,  not all upgrades go very smoothly so I start from fresh on a spare partition
[05:08] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, How do I find out?
[05:08] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: "echo $TERM" might work
[05:08] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, I'm just using the default terminal that came with ubuntu 11.10
[05:09] <lilVaratep> so... xterm
[05:09] <scientes> lilVaratep, no, its gnome-terminal
[05:09] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: safest would be to set in .Xdefault-$YOURHOSTNAME

[05:10] <scientes> how do i set the firewall to not be a firewall?
[05:10] <lilVaratep> I don't have a .Xdefaults
[05:10] <scientes> i guess what i really need is a super-short NAT MASQUERADE script
[05:10] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: i'm not surprised...
[05:11] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, If I make a new .Xdefaults what needs to be in it?
[05:11] <Bruce_Wayne> sacarlson: scientes: Thanks for your replies & hints.. I'll search the internet for my further confusions. Cheers. :)
[05:11] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: first off, i didn't say .Xdefaults (that probably won't work), you need to call it .Xdefault-$YOURHOSTNAME (replace $YOURHOSTNAME with you actual hostname)
[05:13] <sacarlson> scientes: I think I have a minimal masq script,  I normaly run a much bigger on as I run an isp that filters out people who failed to pay
[05:13] <lilVaratep> so it would be .Xdefault-UbuntuDeBay  or would it be .Xdefault-$UbuntuDeBay
[05:13] <zykotick9> .Xdefault-UbuntuDeBay
[05:13] <scientes> sacarlson, paste it
[05:13] <scientes> i've done this before
[05:13] <scientes> but i cant find what i used before
[05:14] <scientes> it even have nice port forwarding
[05:14] <scientes> but i think i will run miniupnpd
[05:14] <scientes> i ran into this last time
[05:14] <scientes> everyone want to give you a firewall
[05:14] <scientes> and i dont want that
[05:15] <Madhatter_> Hi
[05:15] <lilVaratep> How do I make a file in terminal?
[05:15] <sacarlson> scientes:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/882817/
[05:15] <scientes> ooo, this one looks good
[05:15] <Madhatter_> How do I install java?
[05:15] <lilVaratep> make -f name doesn't seem to work
[05:16] <scientes> http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/howto/other-formats/html_single/Masquerading-Simple-HOWTO.html
[05:16] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: touch or use an editor nano, vim, etc.
[05:16] <rsvp> it seems that the GNU parallel program in moreutils is really outdated ... confirm ??
[05:16] <Madhatter_> [18:15] <Madhatter_> How do I install java?
[05:16] <zykotick9> !java | Madhatter_
[05:16] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Why did you write .Xdefault? I thought it was .Xdefaults?
[05:17] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: typo sorry, it's .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME
[05:17] <Madhatter_> I downloaded java but It wants an application to open it that I dont seem to have
[05:17] <scientes> $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -j ACCEPT
[05:17] <scientes> $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
[05:18] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, And what would I put in this file to make xterm's default font -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1
[05:18] <scientes> is $EXTIF the WAN, or LAN? sacarlson ?
[05:18] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: as an example my line is = xterm*font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
[05:18] <sacarlson> scientes: it's the external iterface the one that touches your ISP
[05:19] <scientes> ahh then that wont work for me
[05:19] <scientes> cause that changes in my case
[05:19] <scientes> it might be wifi, it might be 3g
[05:19] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: use xfontsel to play with the fonts to get the line (there is a copy (to clipboard) button i think)
[05:19] <sacarlson> scientes: if it changes just at a $1  to your script
[05:19] <sacarlson> add $1
[05:20] <scientes> sacarlson, so you have to dump everything gotcha
[05:20] <scientes> when you connect with the other interfaces
[05:20] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Yeah, I generated -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1 already
[05:20] <sacarlson> scientes: my system normaly has alot of filters set so this dumps all those before it runs
[05:20] <scientes> sacarlson, and how about turning it off, like when you dhcp on the LAN
[05:20] <scientes> (making it a WAN)
[05:21] <variant> hi, after a while my ubuntu virtual machines al have "ssh main process (562) terminated with status 255 or failsafe main process (556) killed by TERM signal
[05:21] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: so, just add " xterm*font:  -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1" and try opening a new xterm, if it doesn't work you may have to source the .Xdefault-hostname file and try again
[05:21] <variant> any idea why this is?
[05:21] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, What do you mean by source the file?
[05:21] <sacarlson> scientes: I would have to verify but I think sudo ifconfig etho down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up; might clear it
[05:21] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: "source .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME" then try xterm again
[05:22] <sacarlson> scientes: typeo ehto = eth0
[05:22] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, The font is now changed so thanks =]. How would I install a new font? I tried going into unity and double clicking .pcf files to install but i guess it didn't show up
[05:23] <scientes> sacarlson, "NetworkManager will only handle interfaces not declared in /etc/network/interfaces (see README file). "
[05:23] <scientes> see
[05:23] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: i know there are a couple console fonts available in the repo
[05:23] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: terminus is one
[05:23] <sacarlson> scientes: I guess that might be why I kill networkmanager then
[05:23] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, I was looking forward to installing profont ... as I am a programmer and that one appeals to me and is well suggested by other programmers
[05:25] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: sidenote - for a good xterminal emulator you might want to look into urxvt
[05:25] <scientes> sacarlson, well this is an end-user device, and NetworkManager really is the front-end i want to use, so ill have to figure it out
[05:25] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Yeah I've heard urxvt is good. I just sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode already, is that all I need? and whats different with urxvt?
[05:26] <sacarlson> scientes: I agree and networkmanager has improved,  even shared network is setable in networkmanger that sometimes works
[05:26] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: it's rendering and font support are better then xterms, less graphics issues with ncurses applications in my particular case
[05:27] <scientes> sacarlson, so can i set a static in interfaces, and let NM ALSO get a dhcp?
[05:27] <scientes> cause i know the kernel can do that
[05:27] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: alsamixer looked horrible in screen session for example - i even have transperance working with screen now :)
[05:27] <scientes> cause im not configuring a gateway, just a local route
[05:27] <sacarlson> scientes: sure as long as it's on a different interface
[05:27] <scientes> sacarlson, no, same interface
[05:27] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, I'm currently using DWM, so how would I get the urxvt to be transparent?
[05:27] <scientes> "If you want NetworkManager to handle interfaces that are enabled in /etc/network/interfaces: "
[05:28] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: what is DWM?
[05:28] <scientes> just differn't subnet
[05:28] <variant> is it just me or is there a fair bitof fake user account spam in bugs.launchpad.net?
[05:28] <variant> for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/522197
[05:28] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: the config is non-trivial, but i think "urxvt -tr" might work
[05:28] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Pretty much a tiling window manager
[05:28] <variant> deliberate missdirection from multiple users (who use the same kind of speech)
[05:28] <sacarlson> scientes: a virtual address?  I'm not sure seems if you add a virtual I'm not sure what happens to the other
[05:29] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: ahhh yes, i use awesome which is based off dwm if im not mistaken
[05:29] <scientes> sacarlson, no a real address, a static 192.168.56.0/24
[05:29] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Is rxvt-unicode the only one i need?
[05:29] <scientes> *.1
[05:29] <scientes> and then let it have a dhcp + gateway TOO
[05:29] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: honestly with ubuntu i'm really not positive ;)
[05:30] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Which one do you use?
[05:30] <sacarlson> scientes: override the dhcp?  I don't think so ,  you will find networkmanger taking control at each licence expire
[05:30] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: doesn't matter
[05:30] <scientes> sacarlson, you dont get it, an interface can have more than one ip address and subnet assigned to it
[05:30] <sacarlson> scientes: oh you can set static in networkmanager if that's what you mean
[05:30] <jelyup> hello
[05:30] <scientes> you just set it in promiscuous mode sacarlson
[05:31] <sacarlson> scientes: yes more than one ip address is called virtual address
[05:31] <lilVaratep> brb gonna try re-compiling dwm
[05:31] <scientes> sacarlson, i had no idea, but both as first-class citizens
[05:31] <scientes> *are
[05:32] <sacarlson> scientes: yes but not under the control of networkmanger as far as I know,  you would have to kill networkmanager to run something like that
[05:33] <scientes> hmm, but then it will say "unmanaged" and look disconnected
[05:33] <sacarlson> scientes: ifconfig eth0.1 192.168.2.1; ifconfig eth0.2 192.168.2.5;
[05:33] <scientes> and i dont want that
[05:33] <scientes> sacarlson, ip addr add 192.168.0.foo; ip addr add
[05:33] <scientes> etc
[05:34] <scientes> WAY better
[05:34] <sacarlson> scientes: it might work even with network manager,  try it, it can't kill ya
[05:36] <Lirth> Is there a way to adjust scroll speed for ubuntu 11.10?
[05:36] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, How would I change the background for uxrvt?
[05:37] <variant> lilVaratep: "man uxrvt"
[05:37] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: it's not an option i use?  it is an option though - everything is ;)
[05:37] <variant> lilVaratep: seriously, it's quicker than asking here

[05:41] <derppp_> sorry Op.
[05:41] <derppp_> would you help me?
[05:41] <sacarlson> derppp_: or even if we had a clue what your problem might be
[05:41] <derppp_> yeah.......
[05:41] <Lirth> derppp_: Not an op, just experiential advice. I don't know what you're talking about.

[05:42] <derppp_> he sent me a IM.
[05:42] <gubbel> hi there! i'm having problems compiling ultrastar-dx-svn and the developer told me, it's best if i try just to just ffmpeg headers up to 0.6xxx. I want to remove those I have currently installed. But what package should I install? I searched, but I only find libavc* packages. don't know which one is a 0.6xxx one. Can anybody tell me? (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ffmpeg&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all)
[05:43] <derppp_> i feel so out-of-place....
[05:43] <derppp_> any ideas?
[05:44] <derppp_> please..............
[05:45] <Lirth> derppp_: Try looking at the FAQ http://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/index.aspx
[05:45] <derppp_> thank you Lirth. muchhh appreciated.
[05:46] <sacarlson> derppp_: I guess the #Psykick channel they have ESP skills and can find where your team hangs out on the internet
[05:47] <Lirth> Does anybody know how to adjust the scroll speed (from a mouse) for Ubuntu 11.10? I haven't been able to find anything.
[05:47] <derppp_> alright, i'll ask them.
[05:48] <Lirth> sacarlson: I think it's spelled "psychic".
[05:48] <derppp_> yea....
[05:48] <derppp_> nobody's in ther lOL>
[05:48] <derppp_> ii thought you said that.. >.<
[05:49] <sacarlson> Lirth: dam I even had to look it up to get that close
[05:49] <derppp_> LOL! i appreciate it though.
[05:49] <Lirth> derppp_: If they're psychic then they just need you to post, even if nobody is there. They'll know.
[05:50] <derppp_> o_0'
[05:50] <derppp_> seriously.

[06:06] <scientes> sacarlson, "The ifconfig utility is being phased out and being replaced by the ip utility from the iproute package. The newer ip utility does not use the same concept of aliases or virtual interfaces and instead treats additional addresses as first class objects.

[06:32] <Jordan_U> gubbel: It certainly sounds like a bug to me.
[06:32] <gubbel> ok i will first try the newest kernel
[06:32] <gubbel> i just install it with dpkg -i right?
[06:33] <sacarlson> gubbel: or synaptic I guess with ppa added
[06:33] <Jordan_U> gubbel: Yes, but make sure that you download the header package as well and pass them both to dpkg at the same time (doing it at the same time isn't strictly needed, but it's good practice).
[06:34] <gubbel> okay thank you
[06:34] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: gubbel: This particular "ppa" is not really a PPA, it can't be used as a repository.

[06:57] <bluefrog> urgodfather, unset http_proxy
[06:58] <urgodfather> bluefrog: thanks
[06:59] <urgodfather> bluefrog: do u know how to install backtrack on top of ubuntu?
[07:00] <bluefrog> urgodfather, use a backtrack cd
[07:00] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | urgodfather
[07:01] <urgodfather> bluefrog: i have the repos added
[07:02] <urgodfather> bluefrog: im having trouble with links -dump http://repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4/binary/ | awk '{print $3}' | grep -i deb | cut -d . -f 1 > backtrack.txt
[07:02] <urgodfather> connection timeout
[07:02] <bazhang> urgodfather, backtrack is not supported here
[07:03] <bazhang> urgodfather, /join #backtrack-linux for that
[07:03] <[Corp]> hi guys, trying to find a good guide on google on how to distribute ubuntu using pxe to other clients. but seems there are several ways to do it and the guides are often kind of old. what is todays approach and is there a new guide?
[07:06] <GameMX> Jordan_U - well, this is embarrassing for me.
[07:06] <bluefrog> install tftpd-hpa, put netboot files in /var/lib/tftpboot, teweak a little bit the dhcp server by inserting filename "pxelinux.";  in dhcpd.conf, resarts the services and you're ok
[07:06] <GameMX> Its all well and good
[07:07] <[Corp]> oh ok
[07:07] <[Corp]> so no need for apache and stuff?
[07:08] <bluefrog> dhcp server and tftp server is all you need
[07:08] <[Corp]> aiight
[07:08] <bluefrog> but it depends if you need a web service afterwards
[07:09] <bluefrog> meaning if you are hosting a repo mirror or hitting the internet ones
[07:09] <[Corp]> nah, just to distribute it using pxe at this time
[07:09] <[Corp]> and is it possible to make it all unattended so users dont need to choose language, keysettings, locations and so?
[07:10] <bluefrog> yes
[07:11] <[Corp]> but that has nothing to do with the pxe or tftp right? is some sort of settingsfile ?
[07:11] <bluefrog> http://pastebin.com/UxCG374a  was like a while ago. should be the same now
[07:11] <bluefrog> search ubuntu doc for preseeding files
[07:12] <[Corp]> thx m8
[07:12] <[Corp]> ill give it a go
[07:15] <sacarlson> [Corp]: I created this that runs on a 11.04 server that works for me.  note I couldn't get my 10.04 to work with pxe boot. http://paste.ubuntu.com/882880/
[07:15] <[Corp]> sacarlson, ok good, ill have a look
[07:22] <jtoy> how do I remove sources from apt source?
[07:22] <jtoy> I don't see the ones I added in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:22] <jtoy> but every time i do apt-get update it fails on the source I added
[07:23] <arand> jtoy: Look also in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[07:24] <jtoy> arand: that fixed it, thanks!
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> is there a support channel for backtrack ubuntu

[07:31] <smt_> hi, i need some help with my hosts file, i have multiple domains on single ip and want to point to all of them, my current version is http://pastebin.com/bxKYA2FA but firefox seems to ignore all assignments for 192.168.2.100 except the first and the last one   any ideas?
[07:33] <smt_> ping shows with the internal ip for all entries, but firefox as well as thunderbird seem to ignore that
[07:36] <W43372> aloha
[07:36] <Vonor> o/
[07:37] <arno22> Hi there, I have an new, encrypted installation that I can't boot into (it doesn't start booting). I have another installation on the same computer (on a separate hard drive). How can I add the encrypted installation to the GRUB menu of the second hard drive?
[07:37] <Vonor> just installed 12.4 beta alternative in a vmbox  and right after the kernel is loaded i get an error: mountall: no connection to Plymouth
[07:37] <W43372> I plug my android phone into my computer and turn usb storage mode on and it doesn't show the contents of the sd card on my screen but the device shows up when I enter lsusb into the terminal. What do?
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> !precise | Vonor
[07:41] <W43372> Any ideas?
[07:45] <ubuntu> I'm trying to backup things from my HD
[07:46] <mylisto23> is anyone around?
[07:46] <W43372> It worked the last time I tried to connect a couple of weeks ago.
[07:47] <inzi> hey everybody
[07:47] <inzi> howz the stability on the new ubuntu 12.04?
[07:47] <sacarlson> smt_:  I think you need to look at apache2 configs for virtual hosts to point a different pages when a different dns name is used
[07:47] <inzi> is it worth an install on my lappy?
[07:47] <psycho_oreos> !12.04 | inzi
[07:47] <gevz> inzi
[07:47] <inzi> yeah gevz
[07:48] <gevz> good but not stable version
[07:48] <inzi> hmm yah
[07:48] <gevz> have some bugs
[07:48] <inzi> understood..
[07:48] <ehm> i usually wait at least 6 months after any os release.
[07:49] <inzi> anyone tried skype 5.8 on windows through VM, with Ubuntu as Main OS
[07:49] <smt_> sacarlson: the apache server and its vhosts are working fine, its not about the server machines hosts file, its about the other machines in the network, they should access the server without using the isp connection
[07:49] <gmclean> network-manager saves my wireless info in a profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but doesn't automatically connect at boot and i have to re-enter my wireless password so that it can create another profile file every time. any clues?
[07:49] <W43372> I plug my android phone into my computer and turn usb storage mode on and it doesn't show the contents of the sd card on my screen but the device shows up when I enter lsusb into the terminal. What do?
[07:49] <gevz> remove NM and install wicd
[07:50] <gmclean> gevz: nm is that crappy in your opinion huh?
[07:50] <sacarlson> smt_: oh then you will have to setup bind9 on your local network to have local trafic pointed to local server address
[07:51] <sacarlson> smt_: or modify all the local clients hosts files
[07:51] <smt_> thats what i did sacarlson, but it doesnt accept all entries
[07:52] <gevz> gmclean: no, but it stop working sometime
[07:52] <sacarlson> smt_: you sure you have virtual host setup on apache2 http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412
[07:52] <mylisto23> so basically...my laptop (this laptop) isn't booting up to ubuntu so I'm using this laptop with a live cd to backup my HD.  When I try to access my home folder I get a notification that I don't have permission to view the contents of "antonio"
[07:52] <gmclean> gevz: that seems so weird though.  i even tried reinstalling...
[07:52] <mylisto23> Here is a picture of what I am getting http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l269/con_movies/Screenshot.png
[07:52] <gmclean> wtf man
[07:52] <gevz> wicd is more stable on this moment
[07:52] <smt_> that all works fine, all domains are accessable from external...
[07:53] <W43372> help?
[07:53] <mylisto23> What can I do to access the folder on my internal 500 gig hd?
[07:54] <sacarlson> smt_: then i'm not sure what else it could be, as long as you can ping each of those to get the same address it should work if that address has apache2 running vitualhosts
[07:54] <bluefrog> mylisto23, if you encrypted it, you need the key to decrypt
[07:54] <mylisto23> crud!
[07:55] <smt_> sacarlson: that works fine... only firefox seems to ignore the hosts file entries...
[07:55] <bluefrog> mylisto23, no key = bye bye data
[07:55] <mylisto23> I don't remember if I added a encryption to it
[07:55] <mylisto23> I might have
[07:55] <sacarlson> smt_: oh if that's the case it maybe the your still have that site cached on firefox
[07:56] <sacarlson> smt_: and maybe you didn't set a page refresh timeout
[07:56] <smt_> sacarlson: thunderbird ignores it too
[07:56] <sacarlson> cached?
[07:56] <smt_> hmm guess not
[07:57] <sacarlson> smt_: guess so with no other posibilites left
[07:57] <mylisto23> sacarlson: how can I enter an encryption key?
[07:57] <haux> Pressing the printscreen button doesn't do anything for me. How can this be fixed?
[07:57] <pedro> lft the die an dfini the deskpop
[07:59] <sacarlson> mylisto23:  maybe with seahorse
[07:59] <mylisto23> ?
[08:00] <pedro> hello
[08:00] <pedro> mens
[08:00] <sacarlson> mylisto23: http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/
[08:01] <sacarlson> mylisto23: or encryption for what?  wifi?
[08:01] <ponrajuganesh> when I do a change to the evironment variables by editing hte file do i need to restart the system

[08:02] <haux> Pressing the printscreen button doesn't do anything for me. How can this be fixed?

[08:10] <W43372> I plug my android phone into my computer and turn usb storage mode on and it doesn't show the contents of the sd card on my screen but the device shows up when I enter lsusb into the terminal. What do?
[08:10] <dr_willis> w4
[08:10] <cookie1980> did you try to mount it by hand?
[08:11] <dr_willis> depending on the phone thers 2 metods of mounting them
[08:11] <dr_willis> the webupd8 blog dite had an artical on it. i bet askubuntu.com does also
[08:12] <cookie1980> try 'sudo mount' to see mounted filesystems, maybe just the desktop icon is not present
[08:14] <dr_willis> i recall the newer.versions of android.chsnged some things. but my older phone does work.
[08:15] <AdvoWork> I'm trying to connect to my freebsd machine via my ubuntu client, from the terminal I can do: ssh username@domainname  -p 8082 and log in, but then says this account is unavailable. I try this via Ubuntu > Connect to server, and it states Protocol Error. Any suggestions please?
[08:16] <AdvoWork> if i use the root username/pass Connect to server works fine, but obv permissions aren't good now
[08:17] <jmara> good morning, is there any compatibility list for raid controllers in lucid?
[08:19] <ubuntu> I have a hd I think might be encrypted...
[08:19] <dr_willis> !hcl
[08:20] <ubuntu> how do unencrypt a folder?
[08:21] <dr_willis> !encrypt
[08:22] <dr_willis> encryping folders or drives are different i think
[08:22] <cookie1980> AdvoWork: Whatt shell do you use for root and what shell for the user?
[08:28] <AdvoWork> cookie1980, just set their shell to Bash, I can now ssh in, but I still cant do connect to server via ssh?
[08:29] <dr_willis> ssh has -vv     option for verbose errors
[08:30] <dr_willis> sounds like security on the bsd mavjine
[08:31] <AdvoWork> dr_willis, even if I can now ssh in, yet not connect to server via ssh on port 22 or 8082 (8082 is the remote port i've setup to point to that server that normally works)
[08:32] <dr_willis> sounds like some denied user settings. unless we missunderstand you
[08:32] <cookie1980> can you try to connect via telnet to that port? if you get a connection refused or something similiar the server is not running
[08:33] <cookie1980> or the firewall is stopping you xD
[08:33] <KarmaComa> hello

[08:34] <KarmaComa> i submitted an issue on the google translator website here since too long http://code.google.com/p/google-translator/issues/detail?id=1 but i got no answer
[08:34] <KarmaComa> any help would be appreciated!
[08:35] <RaTTuS> umm
[08:35] <RaTTuS|BIG> umm
[08:35] <KarmaComa> hehe
[08:35] <KarmaComa> really sad i cannot use it since i updated to kubuntu 11.10
[08:36] <KarmaComa> it works perfect on 10.10
[08:36] <KarmaComa> it has something to do with the new version of the liberaries
[08:36] <KarmaComa> in kubuntu 11.10
[08:37] <KarmaComa> python-kde4 v. 4.5.1 python-qt4 v. 4.7.2 python-simplejson plasma-scriptengine-python v. 4.4.4
[08:38] <lookatmeyou> 大家好！
[08:38] <KarmaComa> these are the working version, but in kubuntu 11.10 its a newer versions
[08:39] <never2far> hello, is there anyway to save config of an fresh installed ubuntu so that next time i need to install it can be done using that file ...something like this: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2012/01/ubuntu-quick-installation-preseed-link.html
[08:39] <ubuntu> what never2far:?  I'm the worst person to ask
[08:40] <dr_willis> with a nick that will get highlited by mistake 1000x a day
[08:40] <AdvoWork> cookie1980, i can't connect via telnet, but I can ssh in as that user fine, under that port 8082. I just can't do it via the Connect to server method. It ranges from please verify your details to permission denied. Root works fine,  username and pass are correct :S
[08:42] <timaaarrreee> Hello everyone!
[08:42] <geirha> AdvoWork: Are you sure sftp is enabled on the server?
[08:44] <cookie1980> AdvoWork: can you try to 'chown -R <username> /home/<username>'
[08:46] <MrJW1> Hello
[08:47] <dr_willis> jello
[08:49] <scientes> sacarlson, does that script need a iptables COMMIT ?
[08:50] <scientes> like in here https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[08:50] <ubuntu> how can I unencrypt my home folder on a internal hd in this laptop (I'm using a livecd) when I know the login password to my account on there?
[08:51] <sacarlson> scientes: I don't know what iptables commit is but I would guess not
[08:54] <sacarlson> scientes: no it's not a ufw script

[08:55] <sacarlson> scientes: did you check this out http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-linux-virtual-local-area-network-vlan.html
[09:05] <corpan> exit
[09:05] <scientes> sacarlson, but i dont want a vlan
[09:06] <scientes> sacarlson, see http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Multiple_IP_addresses_on_One_Interface
[09:06] <sacarlson> scientes: oh well it was your idea to have two ip on one nic so that's just one way of doing it
[09:06] <scientes> oh gotcha
[09:07] <scientes> BINGO
[09:08] <user_> hi all
[09:08] <scientes> if i lable the ip address as shows on that wiki page then network-manager doesn't flush it
[09:08] <sacarlson> scientes: ya I don't really know what the diff is between eth0:1  and eth0.1  one is vlan the other alias?
[09:08] <ktwo> hi, someone knows what is different with bluetooth in Kubuntu and Ubuntu? because i do not find an option to connect to PAN with Kubuntu (in Ubuntu there is though)
[09:08] <user_> i would guess the network manager in kubuntu would have it
[09:08] <scientes> sacarlson, the . means its a vlan, the : is just a label, and a legacy way that ifconfig dealt with ip addresses
[09:09] <scientes> as is documented in that wiki page
[09:09] <scientes> vlans have special stuff that i dont want
[09:09] <psypher246> hello all, does anyone know how to restart the systray if it has crashed completely?
[09:10] <gevz> logoff & login ;))  i guess
[09:11] <psypher246> gevz: besides that. I have to do this several times a day
[09:11] <scientes> nope guess not
[09:11] <psypher246> and restarting unity?
[09:12] <psypher246> just uunity or unity --replace or unity --reset
[09:16] <psypher246> ah awesome unity --replace fixed my systray, yay
[09:17] <smt_> sacarlson: i found out what the problem with my hosts file was.. i had to define the www.domain.com as alias to get it to work properly... it resolved the domain name to the ip but there it was redirected to www.domain.name wich wasnt resolved
[09:18] <sacarlson> smt_: oh your right, I've made that same mistake it's 192.168.2.2  thisname  thatname  another name  ;   not more lines
[09:19] <sacarlson> smt_: but I use bind9 for that stuf now so all new added systems also get the address
[09:19] <smt_> it works with multiple lines.. i still have them... one for each domain showing    ip   domain.tld  www.domain.tld
[09:20] <smt_> well, however, thanks for your help ;)
[09:21] <sacarlson> smt_: oh well there's always 200 ways to do one thing as long as it works
[09:30] <havok_> anyone know how to view my PPA'
[09:30] <havok_> s which i've added
[09:31] <havok_> whenever you call apt-add-repository...where does it save them?
[09:32] <sacarlson> havok_: they have ppa-purge  so they must have a way to list them also
[09:33] <MikeH> Is there any tool I can use to print all input/output on a local server on port 80
[09:33] <dr_willis> one per file in the /etc/apt dir somewhere havok_
[09:33] <havok_> ah okay i'll look for other ppa- commands
[09:33] <MikeH> at a tcp level?
[09:33] <dr_willis> i cant recall exact path
[09:33] <llutz> MikeH: tcpdump
[09:36] <MikeH> llutz: I looked at tcpdump, but I cannot figure out how to just print the actual data?
[09:40] <Tm_T> havok_: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

[09:49] <hydrox24> ziyadb: what are you fiddling with? pulseaudio or JACK or alsa?
[09:49] <ziyadb> hydrox24: well, that's the thing. I'm not aware of what their functions and where their responsibilities end.

[10:05] <ikonia> pokuy: it should do, the info on most of the android phones I've seen charge on connection, not software
[10:06] <ikonia> pokuy: have a look at the details of your phone and see if it needs specific software to start a charge process, it shouldn't be its worth checking

[10:25] <zteam> Hi guys
[10:26] <lookatmeyou> 这里应该有不少中国人吧？
[10:26] <zteam> Anybody here knows if it is possible to backup the list of installed packages?
[10:26] <ikonia> !cn | lookatmeyou
[10:27] <zteam> So the system can restore this packages to the same version if something goes wrong during an update for example
[10:27] <Tm_T> zteam: list of installed packages doesn't necessarily help on that case
[10:28] <bal> when i try to install gimp some erro come pls help me  to install gimp
[10:28] <Tm_T> zteam: dpkg doesn't like on downgrading packageversions, if that's what you're after
[10:28] <ikonia> bal: what is the error
[10:28] <bal> ikonia: gimp : Depends: libgimp2.0 (>= 2.7.5) but it is not going to be installed         Depends: libgimp2.0 (<= 2.7.5-z) but it is not going to be installed         Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.2) but 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[10:29] <ikonia> bal: you've enabled the gimp PPA haven't you
[10:29] <Tm_T> zteam: but,  "dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt" do provide you the list of packages installed (and uninstalled too) for you
[10:29] <zteam> Tm_T: as far as I know it's atleast possible
[10:29] <Tm_T> zteam: indeed, it's possible
[10:29] <tarathiel> hello, i need help with ssh, i want to download a file to my local computer, without having to download it to the remote computer (i have a quota on that one)
[10:29] <tarathiel> and the file is on the inner network, so i cant reach it without the ssh
[10:30] <bal> ikonia:  I don't know much about this  i am new to this platfom
[10:30] <ikonia> tarathiel: you can't do that, if you do scp user@host1:user@host2:/location, it will still pass through and be written to both hosts
[10:30] <ikonia> bal: please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[10:30] <tarathiel> ikonia, thanks, then i will find a workaround :)
[10:31] <dr_willis> many systems let users use /tmp/ if your quota is low
[10:31] <zteam> Tm_T: yes but I'm looking for a way to create a list of this packages formated in a way so I can pass that list to APT / Aptitude in an easy way
[10:31] <bal> ikonia: means the result of command or all ?
[10:32] <Tm_T> zteam: that list can be passed to dpkg
[10:32] <bal> ikonia: web@web-admin:~$ sudo apt-get update Ign http://extras.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease                                  Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric InRelease                                  Ign http://archive.canonical.com oneiric InRelease                    Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease                       Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric Release.gpg                      Get:1 http://extras.ubunt

[10:32] <Tm_T> zteam: with --set-selections
[10:33] <Tm_T> zteam: after that, I suppose apt-get install -f does what it can
[10:33] <Tm_T> zteam: rest of possible conflicts, wrong versions etc is up to you to sort out /:

[10:41] <ikonia> bal: it looks fine
[10:41] <bal> ok
[10:41] <bal> thank you
[10:41] <ikonia> valid
[10:41] <ikonia> I'm not sure what is adding ppa.ubuntu.com oneiric/main to your sources.list
[10:41] <ikonia> I'm not even sure if that's a valud repo
[10:42] <sina2> I'm waiting for your answer http://paste.ubuntu.com/883069/
[10:42] <ikonia> ppa.launchpad.net even
[10:43] <bal> ikonia:  so what i have to do now ?
[10:43] <ikonia> bal: I'm just checking something, can you give me a minute or two please.
[10:43] <bal> ok
[10:44] <almoxarife> which method provides the least overhead for keeping out spam/ad-servers, iptables or dnasmaq/bind9?
[10:44] <ikonia> bal: I'm just trying to find out of ppa.launchpad.net is actually a standard ubuntu mirror or if it is hosting additional software
[10:45] <bal> ok
[10:45] <n1x> does mount --bind olddir newdir permanently changes the FS tree?
[10:46] <ikonia> n1x: think of it as a more advanced symlink
[10:46] <n1x> ikonia, so it won't affect much right? can i revert that command?
[10:47] <ikonia> n1x: you're basically tricking the system to think that the mount point "newdir" is a filesystem, when it's just the directory "olddir"
[10:47] <rogst> n1x: yes, with umount newdir
[10:48] <n1x> ikonia, okay.
[10:48] <n1x> rogst, thanks ! :)
[10:48] <n1x> ikonia, actually i was trying symlink only, for ftp access, but in ftp it's chrooted, so public can't access another dir which isn't in chroot's root, so i thought i can mount it
[10:48] <ikonia> n1x: interesting approach
[10:49] <n1x> rogst, ikonia is it okay?
[10:49] <n1x> ikonia, :) hmm i just hope it doesn't affect security in any way!

[10:51] <tpl2000> (The exact error is "You need to load the kernel first.")
[10:51] <darbe> How can I fix it?
[10:52] <tpl2000> Anyone? o.o
[10:52] <ehm> tpl2000, make sure GRUB works and is pointing to the correct kernel
[10:52] <ikonia> bal: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:52] <tpl2000> Well It's grub2 and I"m using Ubuntu 11.10
[10:53] <tpl2000> It's using the settings that are from the fresh install
[10:53] <tpl2000> What kernel should it point to?
[10:54] <ooxi> hi, does somebody know a program which can generate graphs similar to http://json.org/object.gif? I know dia but it's usage for generation of such garphs is cumberstone
[10:54] <ehm> tpl2000: "fresh install". Did you format the drive before installing?
[10:55] <bal> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/883080/
[10:55] <tpl2000> Dual booting, so no. I repartitioned the drive.
[10:55] <bal> ikonia:  is this you need?
[10:57] <ehm> tpl2000, then it depends on which bootloaders you're using, and in which order.
[10:57] <ikonia> bal: do you have anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[10:58] <tpl2000> Define bootloader?
[10:58] <ehm> grub is a bootloader.  Windows has its own bootloader.
[10:59] <tpl2000> Gotcha.
[10:59] <ehm> wikipedia for more.
[10:59] <tpl2000> Grub claims to be 1.99
[10:59] <bal> ikonia:  yes "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu oneiric main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu oneiric main"
[10:59] <tarathiel> any tips on mirroring google.com with wget (only downloads index.html and nothing else)?
[10:59] <ikonia> bal: there we go
[10:59] <ikonia> bal: gimp ppa
[10:59] <scientes> this isn't working for me https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot
[10:59] <ikonia> bal: try removing this files, doing "sudo apt-get update" then re-installing gimp, you maybe lucky
[11:00] <bal> ikonia: delete that ?
[11:00] <scientes> it actually seemed to work the first time, but it was taking so long that i gave up....
[11:00] <scientes> and now its not working
[11:00] <ikonia> bal: those two files, yes
[11:01] <bal> ikonia: ya
[11:01] <ehm> tpl2000, depending how you set it up, the Windows bootloader might be starting first, then pointing to grub.  You need to know how you set it up.
[11:01] <tpl2000> That is what's happening.
[11:02] <ehm> are you sure?
[11:02] <tpl2000> Quite.
[11:02] <bal> ikonia:  i can't .
[11:02] <heizmann> hi all. Is possible to crypt (luks with cryptsetup) a casper-rw partition, in a usb-live creation context?
[11:02] <ikonia> bal: you can't waht
[11:03] <encrypt_> hi, anybody knows how to set a different map for the pointer with a wider screen resolution? im trying with xrandr and xinput commands with no success so far
[11:03] <bal> how can i delete that files  in gui?
[11:03] <soaringsky> !grub | tpl2000
[11:03] <ikonia> bal: just run this "sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*"
[11:03] <bal> ikonia: 2 files
[11:03] <heizmann> More specifically: is the initrd.gz (generate in the chroot when we create a live system) know to open a luks container?
[11:03] <heizmann> :)
[11:04] <bal> ikonia: ok it worked
[11:04] <tpl2000> I didn't lose Grub, and I'd rather talk to someone in IRC than someone on a forum
[11:04] <bal> ikonia: now i try  to install gimp is it right?
[11:04] <ikonia> bal: great
[11:04] <ikonia> bal: sudo apt-get update first
[11:04] <zykes-> does anyone know how upstart get's the status of a pjob?
[11:04] <ikonia> then
[11:04] <ehm> tpl2000, examine you boot sequence to find which loader is returning the error.  Those links are to documentation wikis.  Use them.
[11:05] <bal> ikonia: ok
[11:05] <tpl2000> Alright, ty.
[11:06] <heizmann> who know how works casper? :-| !!!
[11:09] <scientes> heizmann, whats ur problem
[11:10] <heizmann> scientes: I have a live system on a usb-stick - with persistent-mode, plus casper-rw partition.
[11:10] <heizmann> All is fine.
[11:10] <scientes> cool
[11:11] <scientes> i just made a half-ass attempt to do netboot to livecd
[11:11] <scientes> and i think my first try actually worked, it was just slow
[11:11] <scientes> but anyways, gone not
[11:11] <heizmann> But I wish encrypt my casper-rw partition, with a luks container. :) is it possible?
[11:11] <scientes> oh geeze
[11:11] <scientes> heizmann, why don't you use ecryptfs instead?
[11:11] <scientes> for your home folder
[11:12] <scientes> that would be alot easier
[11:12] <heizmann> scientes: ecryptfs: works perfectly (with, well, my /home/user repositories)
[11:12] <heizmann> I want to try with another method, for testing ^^
[11:12] <scientes> yeah, should even work on the livecd if you set it up right
[11:12] <scientes> oh geeze....
[11:13] <scientes> why don'y you go fix swome bugs
[11:13] <scientes> learn some c
[11:14] <bal> ikonia:  gimp is installed but not opens
[11:15] <ikonia> bal: how are you trying to open it
[11:15] <TalkSoup> yay im in
[11:15] <heizmann> scientes: I think the good method is: 1) encrypt casper-rw with a luks container; 2) chroot in my uncompressed squashfs system; 3) install cryptsetup, hashalot; 4) regenerate initramfs; 5) squash compress
[11:15] <scientes> heizmann, have you heard of TRESOR?
[11:16] <bal> ikonia: applications/graphics/ gimp in gui
[11:16] <scientes> sounds like something you would be pretty stoaked by, if you havn't heard of it
[11:16] <TalkSoup> have you heard of beltazor?
[11:16] <heizmann> scientes: but I'm not sure... all depends if the initrd.gz regenerate knows a luks container or not...
[11:16] <heizmann> scientes: TRESOR? no... what is it?
[11:16] <ikonia> bal: open it from a terminal with the command "gimp" see if you get any useful output
[11:17] <scientes> heizmann, google is ur friend, but tell me if i was right :)))
[11:17] <bal> ikonia: how just giving "gimp" ?
[11:17] <heizmann> ^^
[11:17] <TalkSoup> gimp.exe
[11:17] <KM0201> gimp.exe?
[11:17] <TalkSoup> gimp.deb
[11:18] <heizmann> :s .exe?
[11:18] <KM0201> TalkSoup: it doesn't need a file extension
[11:18] <TalkSoup> gimp.rpm
[11:18] <heizmann> ...not ELF... :-/
[11:18] <heizmann> ^^
[11:18] <KM0201> if it's installed, just type gimp, and it will open
[11:18] <TalkSoup> gimp*
[11:18] <scientes> and if not, command-not-found will help u out

[11:18] <ikonia> bal: open a terminal type "gimp"
[11:18] <KM0201> scientes: well, often if a program is having a problem, when you start it via command line, it will give you the error..
[11:18] <scientes> o geeze
[11:18] <KM0201> case in point..

[11:19] <bal> ikonia: ya  i got that error
[11:19] <scientes> bal, did you do apt-get install gimp right now?

[11:36] <bal> and work on it
[11:37] <darky123> hello
[11:37] <darky123> all
[11:37] <bal> ikonia: it shows in task bar starting gimp then it disappears.
[11:37] <TalkSoup> gute tag-0
[11:37] <ikonia> bal: open it in the terminal again,
[11:38] <ikonia> bal: see what output you get
[11:38] <SunGlyph> Okay, looking over the link, I have 6GB or so free if I'm including buffers + cache?
[11:38] <bal> ikonia: "web@web-admin:~$ gimp gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libbabl-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[11:39] <bal> ikonia: shall i try this "sudo dpkg -i libbabl-0.0-0_0.0.22-1_i386.deb"
[11:39] <ikonia> bal: ok, you've going to have to remove libabl
[11:39] <ikonia> bal: no %100 no
[11:39] <soaringsky> SunGlyph: what's your graphics card?
[11:39] <bal> ikonia: ok
[11:40] <SunGlyph> nVidia GTX 460SE
[11:40] <ikonia> bal: open the package manager, and remove the package libabl
[11:40] <soaringsky> SunGlyph: what drivers?
[11:40] <ikonia> bal: infact, remove gimp, and libabl
[11:40] <bal> ikonia: you mean synaptic?
[11:40] <SunGlyph> soaringsky: The ones ubuntu offered up after I installed it.
[11:41] <SunGlyph> Should I look for better ones on nVidias side?
[11:41] <ikonia> bal: yes,
[11:41] <Error4o4> ubottu: thx
[11:41] <bal> which are the package  i have to remove
[11:41] <ikonia> bal: you should know - you are the one who installed them
[11:41] <ikonia> gimp and libabl
[11:41] <soaringsky> !nvidia | SunGlyph
[11:41] <ikonia> bal: libgegl sorry
[11:42] <ikonia> bal: is this a recent installed machine
[11:42] <ikonia> bal: eg: is there any important data on it ?
[11:42] <darky123> iam new here so i need some help
[11:43] <soaringsky> !help | darky123
[11:43] <darky123> ok
[11:44] <soaringsky> darky123: what do you need help with?
[11:45] <darky123> i have backtrack 5 and i want to learn how to use my terminal ,so where can i start with?
[11:45] <darky123> i dont speak good english so forgive me if i make mistakes..
[11:45] <bal> ikonia: no form last month i am custumising this for my work .
[11:45] <soaringsky> darky123: this is #ubuntu. have you tried #backtrack ?
[11:46] <darky123> soaringsky are you bot?
[11:46] <ikonia> bal: ok, so a clean install may not be easier in that case if you have made changs
[11:46] <bal> ikonia:  my istution is trying to swich over to ubuntu
[11:46] <ikonia> bal: you'll need to remove the PPA packages
[11:46] <soaringsky> darky123: nope
[11:46] <bal> ok
[11:46] <bal>  in synaptics?
[11:46] <darky123> ok i will try backtrack then
[11:47] <bosong> anyone heard of artificial telepathy ?
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> bosong  wrong channel
[11:47] <ikonia> bal: there is a tool called "ppa-purge" hosted in this repo https://launchpad.net/ppa-purge it may remove your problems cleanly, if not you'll have to do them manually
[11:48] <bosong> theyve banned me from defocus
[11:48] <auronandace> bosong: that doesn't make this a chat channel
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> bosong  it's never a good idea to say you've been banned somewhere, it's never without reason
[11:50] <bosong> monkeydust they are retards
[11:50] <bal> ikonia:  i seen the only package with PPA in synaptic is "pnm2ppa" can i remove it ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/883130/
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> bosong  everybody is a retard, except you?
[11:50] <SunGlyph> Okay, new issue: The drivers I picked up need to be run as root, but I'm not entirely sure how to install the .run package as root.
[11:50] <sipior> bosong: i see more bans in your future...
[11:52] <ikonia> bal: sorry, that makes no sense
[11:53] <ikonia> bal: you need to either a.) try the tool I've told you b.) manually remove the packages I've told you
[11:53] <bal> ikonia:  it is in synaptic?
[11:53] <bosong> nobody likes the truth
[11:54] <bal> ikonia: shall i try with that tool?
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> bal  PPA for Windows != PPA for Linux
[11:55] <locsmif> Anybody familiar with USB 3 random hdd disconnect problems and how to solve them? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/349767
[11:56] <bal> MonkeyDust: ubuntu
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> bal  "HP's discontinued line of "Windows-only" PPA ("Printer Performance Architecture") DeskJet printers"
[11:57] <locsmif> It still happens for many people and so I don't think it's "fixed"
[11:57] <bal> ikonia: i installed it and now how i have to remove it?
[11:57] <ikonia> bal: what part am I now making clear ?
[11:58] <locsmif> There's nothing wrong with my external HDD, nothing wrong with the enclosure, nothing wrong with the USB bus, yet the external harddisk I boot from fails at random just the same.
[11:59] <compdoc> locsmif, could be many things, including the external enclosure
[11:59] <locsmif> compdoc: nah
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> locsmif maybe you can add that discription of your issue in the launchpad comments
[11:59] <locsmif> This is being discussed everywhere
[12:00] <locsmif> Launchpad, the Ubuntu forum, the LKML
[12:00] <locsmif> MonkeyDust: perhaps
[12:02] <locsmif> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/580983
[12:03] <bal> ikonia:  my  internet reset
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> locsmif  as you can see, people are working on it
[12:03] <bal> ikonia: now how i can remove this by ppa-purge tool?
[12:04] <StepNjump> I am about to download a whole bunch of updates but would like to copy them to a text file so I know what I installed later on. Is there a way of doing this either at the CLI or other way?
[12:05] <locsmif> MonkeyDust: at the bottom of the Launchpad bug thread I see: status: Invalid → Fix Released
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> bal  pnm2ppa is not an ubuntu PPA, ppa-purge has nothing to do with it
[12:05] <locsmif> This is from three weeks ago, is that fix in yet?
[12:05] <bal> MonkeyDust: so i have to remove it ?
[12:05] <Sidewinder1> StepNjump, I believe that Synaptic Package Manager keeps a history of installed/packages/updated.
[12:06] <kalimojo> i love ubuntu
[12:06] <ikonia> bal: you install the ppa-purge tool, and run it
[12:06] <locsmif> If you have any idea where I can get it, it would be *much* appreciated.
[12:06] <onosendi> What would you say is the best/fastest filesystem that is linux/windows compatible?
[12:07] <bal> ikonia: in terminal ?
[12:07] <vlt> !best | onosendi
[12:07] <Sidewinder1> StepNjump, Since Synaptic is a GUI front end for apt-get, the same should be available in apt-get (CLI) but I don't know the command. :-(   Sory..
[12:08] <locsmif> MonkeyDust: I would say that currently, the issue is presume to be fixed, and what's more, it was presumed to be fixed in 2.6.x
[12:08] <onosendi> vlt: what would you use?
[12:08] <StepNjump> Sidewinder1: ok thanks
[12:08] <Sidewinder1> NP
[12:09] <soaringsky> onosendi: fat
[12:09] <bal> ikonia: shall i use this "sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers"?
[12:10] <onosendi> soaringsky: It doesn't support 4gb > though :/
[12:10] <soaringsky> onosendi: fat32?
[12:10] <locsmif> Is there any way I can get a newer kernel for oneiric?
[12:11] <ikonia> bal: have you installed the xorg-edgers ppa ?
[12:11] <szal> onosendi: if you need capacity for filesizes >= 4 GB, there's no choice anyway
[12:11] <ikonia> bal: when you showed me the list it only had the gimp ppa
[12:11] <ikonia> bal: where did the xorg-edgers PPA come from ?
[12:11] <locsmif> Say, like, 3.1
[12:12] <bal> ikonia: it is example given
[12:12] <Sidewinder1> onosendi, NTFS?
[12:12] <bal> when i type ppa-purge
[12:12] <ikonia> bal: ok, so it's an "example" not something you should type blind
[12:12] <ikonia> bal: got to be honest, I think you'll be better doing a clean install and making sure you don't install any PPA's
[12:13] <ikonia> bal: you don't strike me as being at a linux level yet (not a problem) that can deal with managing software from PPA's, so I'd suggest a clean install, don't add a PPA and just isntall gimp
[12:13] <kalimojo> anyone heard of artificial telepathy ?
[12:13] <onosendi> ntfs is the best solution for ubuntu/windows file sharing?
[12:13] <szal> the default install should already have GIMP
[12:13] <bal> ikonia: ok  thank you for spending this much time for me
[12:13] <szal> onosendi: definitely
[12:14] <bal> i may try to re install all
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> onosendi, NTFS is what I would use; I do..
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> kalimojo  / bosong wrong channel
[12:14] <carl_> lu
[12:14] <ikonia> bal: you are more than welcome, I think you'll just find it easier/cleaner to do a re-install and be more careful, rather than trying to undo the mess when you are not confortable with linux yet
[12:14] <onosendi> Alrighty, thanks guys.
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> :)
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> kalimojo  / bosong use your artificial telepathy to find the appropriate channel
[12:15] <szal> lol
[12:15] <bal> ikonia:  ya , i will do the same
[12:15] <kalimojo> monkeydust where should i go ?
[12:15] <Sidewinder1> ..
[12:15] <ikonia> bal: when you re-install, please please, pay attention to what you are installing and don't add external software repositories or PPA's
[12:16] <bal> ikonia:  when i install i don't added any thirpart install
[12:16] <soaringsky> !ppa | bal
[12:16] <ikonia> bal: you did, as there was the gimp PPA configured
[12:16] <ikonia> bal: so you need to pay more attention
[12:17] <bal> ikonia: i think it came with recommended update
[12:17] <ikonia> bal: no, it didn't
[12:17] <soaringsky> bal: note the unsupported part from above for ppas
[12:18] <kalimojo> MonkeyDust where should i go ?
[12:19] <bal> ikonia:  in update manager i  seen that so i thought it came on that way
[12:19] <bal> ikonia:  any way thank you
[12:19] <soaringsky> kalimojo: perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:19] <bal> ikonia: see you , i will take care when next instlletion
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> bal  it seems to me, you're not dealing with a Personal Package Archive, but with a Windows Printer something, it's different
[12:19] <ikonia> bal: I assure you it dodn't come crom update manager
[12:20] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: what are you talking about, he's dealing with a PPA and gimp problems
[12:20] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: there has been no mention of printers
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> ikonia  i just found pnm2ppa to be something else
[12:20] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: yes, it came as part of the gimp PPA for when he "prints" using gimp
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> ah, hence my mistake
[12:22] <bal> ServerSage: ikonia MonkeyDust  see you all
[12:22] <bal> thank you all
[12:23] <gevz> maybe it's offtop, but anybody knows how create a web layout in python?

[12:35] <Evolutionzor> so ive tried to install Ubuntu a few times v 11.10 the problem is it keeps on  freezing on config.grub and cant seem to be able to install grub manually either
[12:38] <Sidewinder1> Evolutionzor, Did you Md5sum the ISO image prior to burning CD or copying to USB?
[12:40] <Evolutionzor> no i didnt
[12:41] <Sidewinder1> Evolutionzor, That's the first thing that I'd try..
[12:41] <Sidewinder1> ! md5sum | Evolutionzor
[12:42] <Sidewinder1> !hashes | Evolutionzor
[12:42] <Sidewinder1> Evolutionzor, At least that way you'll know your download id 100% OK.
[12:42] <Sidewinder1> is, even.
[12:44] <Sidewinder1> Evolutionzor, Also, I believe that if you boot CD and select "Check CD" or something like that..
[12:44] <Evolutionzor> kk they ill do that
[12:45] <Sidewinder1> :)

[12:50] <Draconicus> Hello. I can't get Compiz to work for the life of me. I've deleted every config, purged and reinstalled every package, and even tried different versions of my nVidia drivers. Can somebody please help?
[12:50] <Krambiorix> Sidewinder1, thx i found it , it's a few lines above what you said
[12:51] <Krambiorix> good that there is still the Classic view. As a developer I hate the GNOME 3
[12:51] <Sidewinder1> NP
[12:53] <Draconicus> I have even gone so far as to wipe out my .config folder in desperation. No results.
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> Draconicus  try unity --reset
[12:54] <Draconicus> MonkeyDust: No. As always, "Initializing core options...done" is as far as Compiz gets.
[12:55] <Draconicus> MonkeyDust: Now I have no window borders. Starting metacity.
[12:57] <hylian> does the server edition of ubuntu come with wicd already installed?

[12:59] <^Satan^> I have a problem with 11.04 (just upgraded to it from 10.10), that being the X server fails every time (regardless of whether or not I use an xorg.conf) unless I start it using the /etc/gdm/failsafeXserver script
[12:59] <jrib> ^Satan^: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log (with and without xorg.conf).
[12:59] <jrib> !away > Talisman`Work
[13:00] <Talisman`Work> jrib, I saw it... afaik I don't use noisy away messages...
[13:00] <^Satan^> I did, same error in the log both times. "Fatal server error: {CR} [    13.180] AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"
[13:00] <Talisman`Work> jrib, please paste the noise in PM
[13:01] <^Satan^> I use the nvidia-96 drivers
[13:01] <^Satan^> I'm not sure what the failsafeXserver script in /etc/gdm does differently, but whatever it is, it gets things up and running
[13:03] <^Satan^> I dunno, it's probably not worth figuring out until this round of upgrading to 11.10 finishes
[13:13] <Krissed> Hi. Uhmm im thinking about setting up a proxy server here and force clients like IE (windows obviously) to use that proxy. Is it possible to see usernames and which websites users visit with some GUI ?

[13:17] <Draconicus> OKAY
[13:17] <nullne> to be honest ,i try irc for the firt time
[13:18] <Krissed> nullne its ok.
[13:18] <Krissed> sina2 i read the posts. whats the problem ? you want to install packages youve downloaded while youre not online ?
[13:18] <nullne> try to install Kdenlive .using PPA:
[13:18] <nullne> https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/kdenlive-svn
[13:19] <nullne> and then do the normal process,finally i installed it
[13:19] <nullne> but when i open it  ,some problems occurs
[13:19] <Krissed> which errors do you get ?
[13:20] <nullne> mlt    need to be upgrade to 0.7.6
[13:21] <nullne> i can not open it    so  what shall i do?
[13:21] <Krissed> hmm i dont know what mlt is but have you tried updating your ubuntu entirely ?
[13:22] <nullne> how can i get you see some picture on my computer
[13:22] <nullne> i  also won't know  what it is
[13:22] <nullne> so  how to uodate it
[13:22] <Draconicus> I have lost three years of configuration data while trying to fight Compiz. It's my own fault. I think I have a right to be a little upset though.
[13:22] <compute> how can i do a port scann
[13:23] <Sidewinder1> nmap
[13:23] <Draconicus> I moved .config, started the Xfce desktop I like to use, found that compiz wasn't working, moved .config back, and then logged out. It overwrote everything withe the defaults. Oh well.
[13:23] <Krissed> Looks like you should get this package nullne https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mlt
[13:23] <Sidewinder1> Or the GUI, Zenmap.
[13:24] <Krissed> Draconicus oh damn. thats tough.
[13:24] <compute> how do i conect to some one computer
[13:24] <Draconicus> Compiz stopped working. It was working great on the first day of my upgrade, even after reboots. I used to have 10.10. I used update-manager to make my way up to 11.10.
[13:24] <Krissed> compute what are you trying to do ?
[13:24] <Draconicus> Now that I'm on 11.10, Compiz has been working better than ever. Well, until I decided to build a copy of emerald from git since the repository one didn't work anymore.
[13:24] <Sidewinder1> !ssh | compute
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> compute, I t5hink..
[13:25] <compute> i am try to see if its no hack
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> think, even.
[13:25] <Krissed> compute huh ? explain please ?
[13:26] <forever2432> Draconicus: you should rather play on a virtualbox before doing settins on your system
[13:26] <Draconicus> I have since removed that version of emerald. First Compiz wasn't working in Xfce, but worked in Unity and GNOME 3. Now it doesn't work anywhere. I had found a fix, briefly, where I was missing the gnome backend for Xfce compatibility in the session options. Compiz came back! I restarted to get rid of an on-screen-keyboard that wouldn't go away. I haven't had Compiz working since then.
[13:26] <Draconicus> forever2432: I know. I just wanted Compiz to work. That's all I ever wanted. It worked great before. I had all of my customization back. I was so happy.
[13:27] <compute> i am try to see if some body hack my friend computer
[13:27] <Draconicus> I have reinstalled all of my compiz packages time after time. I have (I think) removed and replaced every possible config file for Compiz, GNOME, and whatever else might be involved.
[13:27] <Draconicus> Compiz never gets past "Initializing core options". It hangs there. The window borders go away and I have nothing.
[13:27] <forever2432> Draconicus: you might have to purge Compiz and reinstall
[13:27] <Draconicus> forever2432: Four times already.
[13:27] <Krissed> compute uhmm how would you expect to see that by running portcan ?
[13:28] <compute> i dont no that why i am asking
[13:29] <Krissed> compute sounds like youre grabbing for straws here. Let me ask in a diffrent way. What makes you think your friends computer is being hacked ?
[13:29] <Sidewinder1> compute, Is it a windows box or Ubuntu?
[13:30] <Krissed> I used to write some really tight iptables firewalls back in the days when backtrack was whoppix based
[13:30] <aleale97> Hi everyone
[13:30] <nullne> krissed then what should i do?
[13:30] <craigbass1976> I had Sun's java (oracle I guess) installed because that's what a particular app I run requires.  Whenever I install openjre, my app tries to use that and it doesn't work right. I ran sudo update-alternatives --config java and made Sun's the default, but still the app was using the openjre.
[13:30] <Draconicus> forever2432: I just did "apt-get purge compiz" then "apt-get clean" then "apt-get update" then "apt-get install compiz" then "compiz --replace" and the same problem persists.
[13:30] <nullne> i don't know which package should i download
[13:30] <Krissed> nullne run the update manager (dont know the english name) and make sure you update everything. It seems like the program youre installing needs aditional packages
[13:31] <forever2432> Draconicus: it sounds like a persistant config
[13:31] <nullne> i`ll try   thank you
[13:31] <Draconicus> forever2432: What file could it possibly be?
[13:31] <Draconicus> forever2432: I have removed .compiz* and for good measure, .config* as you know.
[13:32] <forever2432> Draconicus:install on virtualbox and check the difference from config to config you should find the fault
[13:32] <Krissed> Anyone know if Ubuntu 12.04 will have unity as mandatory ?
[13:32] <nullne> krissed   it seems works
[13:32] <Draconicus> forever2432: I am generating clean configs from the package. What good would that do?
[13:32] <Krissed> nullne great then :
[13:32] <Krissed> :)
[13:33] <Draconicus> forever2432: What I need to know is whether there are other config files buried somewhere outside of my home directory.
[13:33] <Krissed> Draconicus usually all configs should be in your home folder
[13:33] <forever2432> Draconicus:not sure but make sense if the problem is the same
[13:33] <compute> I am trying to start my own computer bisness doing  pinetest i am just leaning
[13:33] <nullne> seems that you are really genious
[13:34] <Draconicus> forever2432: None of this makes sense anymore. If you can find that file, please PM me with the location. I need to go to work. I have been battling this for a week now.
[13:34] <Draconicus> It's really crushing me. It would be a kind thing if somebody could find out where that file is and just tell me in a PM so I don't miss it. I will leave IRC connected.
[13:34] <forever2432> Draconicus:will check
[13:34] <nullne> i am curious that where do you from? krissed
[13:34] <Krissed> Denmark
[13:35] <nullne> fun   it is my first time to chat with a foreigner online,besides some friends i have already met
[13:36] <Krissed> ah. Youre from China right ?
[13:36] <Krissed> Or.. Irvine USA.
[13:36] <nullne> absolutory right
[13:36] <Krissed> yeah thought so.
[13:37] <nullne> absolutely  right
[13:37] <nullne> china
[13:37] <Krissed> im not used to having to rely on a webbased chat.. so the usual ways to find the persons origin failed here
[13:37] <Krissed> I must admit most my encounters with chinese people are those trying to sell me gold on wow.. back when i used to play.
[13:39] <nullne> seems that you are very wealthy
[13:40] <Krissed> wealthy ? what makes you think that ?
[13:40] <compute> how can i lean how to do pine test
[13:41] <nullne> maybe my poor english and some strange feeling from anywhere i won't know make that
[13:41] <szal> compute: you might first want to lea_r_n English, so people can understand what you want
[13:41] <Krissed> pentest ? well its alot of boring reading really.. and lots of testing.. you should set up two computers and read up on pentesting. do some tutorials.
[13:41] <Krissed> i recommend backtrack
[13:41] <felice> ciao!
[13:42] <Sidewinder1> Here comes the !list
[13:42] <szal> don't wait for it :P
[13:42] <compute> I said how can i lean how to do a pinetest
[13:42] <felice> !list
[13:42] <Sidewinder1> ;-)
[13:43] <szal> Italians are so predictable ;)
[13:43] <Sidewinder1> The mystery of our times/=.
[13:43] <Krissed> compute you mean pentest. as in penetration test. check out backtrack projects for that.
[13:43] <Krissed> italians expect every irc channel to be warez ?? wow.. things have changed
[13:44] <szal> besides..
[13:44] <szal> !chat
[13:44] <szal> dang
[13:44] <szal> !ot
[13:44] <FloodBot1> szal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:44] <compute> thank you i am trying to start my owne  bisnss kris
[13:44] <Sidewinder1> Heh,.
[13:45] <nullne> i wonder  who are you ?  persons offering help on ubuntu?
[13:45] <Krissed> computer ehm ok but you might wanna know the business before you go into it.
[13:45] <Krissed> nullne just regular people like yourself. linux is pretty much about sharing
[13:46] <compute> krissed that why i am trying to lean can you help me
[13:46] <Krissed> compute well i cant help you much except what ive told you. check out the backtrack project
[13:47] <nullne> sharing   i like this word  ,and ubuntu brings me troubles more than happy.so boring and unexpected things happens now and then
[13:47] <szal> compute: again, first learn English.. please
[13:47] <Krissed> szal btw do you have any experience in web proxy ? namely somthing that can run parallell so users who have my lan IP as the proxy adress gets their traffic filtered ?
[13:48] <compute> ok kriss i am from new york city wher you from i am just leaning
[13:48] <Krissed> nullne when you come up with a problem, google it and most the time there are answers for it. learning ubuntu from scratch is the best way really
[13:48] <Krissed> compute Denmark
[13:49] <szal> Krissed: nah, didn't need a proxy back at uni, let alone at home
[13:49] <Krambiorix> compute: a business in what?
[13:50] <compute> ok is you real good with computers i am justn leaning
[13:50] <nullne> aha   i feel real happy   ,really  it's the best time  since i worked with ubuntu
[13:51] <Krissed> compute its my line of work. I manage computers for an entire education center here.
[13:52] <nullne> how can i find you later?   could i  have your email  krissed
[13:52] <nullne> to be friends
[13:52] <nullne> i am a newbie  here
[13:52] <Krissed> nullne sorry. I do hang out in here once in a while though. The really best way you can learn is by doing..
[13:52] <Krambiorix> Krissed, it seems like you've become a helpdesk
[13:52] <Krissed> messing up the install and having to reinstall 20 times teaches you alot.
[13:53] <nullne> do you know fgw?
[13:53] <nullne> then you should know  why i cannot get something i need via google
[13:54] <Sidewinder1> nullne, There are many search engines; "they can't block them all.
[13:55] <nullne> are you still online   krissed?
[13:55] <compute> kriss yes i am trying to lean to yesterday i met somke people  from denmark
[13:55] <^Satan^> The only problem with learning the hard way is that it's very time consuming :P
[13:56] <Sidewinder1> And, sometimes expensive.
[13:56] <nullne> really sometime i cannot get the right thing
[13:56] <^Satan^> well yeah
[13:56] <^Satan^> expensive if you fry hardware doing it
[13:57] <nullne> must be cultural difference
[13:58] <acnot> Hi there all, is there any known issues with installing the LAMP stack and getting to localhost?
[13:59] <Ignisss> guys ive made a raid5 off 4drives and i been trying to automount it (added it to /etc/fstab by uuid) but when i boot i get the message The Disk Drive for /media is not ready yet or not present
[13:59] <Ignisss> what am i missing?
[14:00] <Ignisss> its ubuntu 11.10 and the raid is fine if i choose skip mounting and continue to boot i can mount it manually np
[14:00] <acnot> Because I just installed the LAMP stack on Ubuntu 11.10 and I can't get to localhost
[14:04] <amy_> hi
[14:05] <amy_> what is this
[14:06] <^Satan^> are you 12?
[14:06] <^Satan^> Because usually the line is "I am 12 and wat is this?"
[14:07] <^Satan^> :P
[14:07] <^Satan^> This is IRC, amy_ . Internet Relay Chat.
[14:07] <amy_> I thought it can load gtalk
[14:07] <amy_> I know what it is now
[14:08] <^Satan^> You're using XChat, it seems
[14:08] <^Satan^> Maybe you meant to use Pidgin or something?
[14:08] <acnot> I just installed installed tasksel on ubuntu 11.10 and it wont run.
[14:08] <^Satan^> XChat is only for IRC.
[14:08] <amy_> yeah,are you often using it?
[14:09] <amy_> it is all strangers
[14:10] <thiebaude> :)
[14:10] <^Satan^> I'm not quite sure what you mean, amy_
[14:11] <^Satan^> Welcome back, amy_
[14:11] <^Satan^> Were you trying to load an instant messaging client of some sort, amy_?
[14:11] <amy_> ok,there is a pidgin in the system i just installed,i wanna try
[14:11] <amy_> thx
[14:12] <^Satan^> What exactly are you trying to do, amy_?
[14:13] <amy_> i wanna login gtail
[14:13] <amy_> gtalk
[14:13] <^Satan^> Ahhh, OK
[14:14] <^Satan^> You mean Google Talk?
[14:14] <amy_> bingo
[14:14] <acnot> Never mind I just removed it with --purge and reinstalled it and wala!
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> i have a weird problem - when i try to do:
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> x=`ps -x`
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> or
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> ps -x | grep "blah"
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> it says Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
[14:15] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: there are different versions of ps, -x isn't vaild on all versions, man ps to see ifyour version supports
[14:15] <Pumpkin-> you don't need the -, and ps is really keen to tell you that for some reason.
[14:16] <amy_> satan,I am using linuxmint11,I foud a lot of bugs
[14:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, ps -x works fien on its own
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> hm, doing just "ps x | blah" works fine
[14:17] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: alias x='ps -x'
[14:17] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: copy and paste that
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> i guess it just doesnt like the -, as Pumpkin- said
[14:17] <^Satan^> amy_, Pidgin IM supports the GoogleTalk protocol, if you start up Pidgin and then click Accounts, Manage Accounts, Add, you can select the Google Talk protocol from the list marked "Protocol:" and then enter your Google Talk login details
[14:17] <^Satan^> I personally don't use Google Talk
[14:17] <amy_> thank you ,I'll try now
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, ah that works fine now
[14:17] <`Abhijit> Getting flooded by messages like- kernel: [  697.231743] hub 2-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2 / 1 ... upon init .. any suggestions to what's wrong? Thank You
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> why does ps not use - for its arguments
[14:17] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: it does
[14:18] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: hence why you can do ps -x
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, but why did x=`ps -x` not work
[14:18] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: because you are using back ticks
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, but x=`ls -l` works
[14:19] <Ignisss> so no1 has any idea why my boot is halting on the fstab entry of my raid cause the 'disk drive is not ready yet'?
[14:19] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: it's to do with how it executes it, I've seen this before with another command an alias
[14:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, will that alias command now last forever/
[14:19] <^Satan^> Ignisss, I don't know anything about RAID, sorry... Someone else might, if you can afford to hang around and ask again every so often.
[14:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> ?
[14:19] <amy_> I opened the Manage Accounts,but I click on the add,but nothing happened
[14:19] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: no, if you exit the shell it will go
[14:19] <sipior> Ignisss: this is a hardware raid? which card?
[14:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, is there a permanent solution?
[14:20] <ikonia> amy_: you're using mint aren't you
[14:20] <Ignisss> software
[14:20] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: but it in your bashrc
[14:20] <amy_> yes
[14:20] <ikonia> amy_: ok, the mint support channel isn't on freenode
[14:20] <Ignisss> raid5 added it to mdadm.conf and fstab by uuid
[14:20] <ikonia> !mint | amy_
[14:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, ah ok, just exactly the same as how you posted it?
[14:20] <`Abhijit> anyone?
[14:20] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: yup
[14:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> ok thanks
[14:20] <^Satan^> amy_, it should pop up a dialog box asking for the details of the account you want to add.
[14:20] <sipior> Ignisss: and the system successfully booted before, or?
[14:20] <Ignisss> ye it still boots if i choose skip
[14:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, is there a way to add that rule for all arguments?
[14:21] <ikonia> that rule for all arguments ?
[14:21] <ikonia> what do you mean ?
[14:21] <amy_> ok,thanks anyway
[14:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> i want to also be able to do x=`ps -eax`
[14:21] <Ignisss> it just gives that message that the drive/filesystem is not ready to mount you can wait, skip the mount or go to a terminal
[14:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> or x=`ps -aux`
[14:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> or whatever
[14:21] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: stop using back ticks
[14:21] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: if you type "alias" you'll see all the aliases use ' not `
[14:21] <Talisman`Work> ciao
[14:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, ' is a quotation mark
[14:22] <jack__> https://plus.google.com/106827734897405620119/posts/ZP6aMQpm4mL
[14:22] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: no, it's a single quote
[14:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> if i do x='ps -eax' it will just echo the text 'ps -eax'
[14:22] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: no it won't
[14:22] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: as you've just seen
[14:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, i just did x='ps -eax' then echo $x and i get ps -eax as the echoed response
[14:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> as in those letters
[14:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> backticks have always been the way i assign commands to variables
[14:23] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you don't echo a command
[14:23] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that is setting a variable, not a alias
[14:23] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you said you wanted to do an alias
[14:24] <ikonia> alias x='ps -ef' is an alias x='ps -ef' is a variable
[14:24] <WhereIsMySpoon> oh
[14:24] <Ignisss> the raid is a data partition it isnt my system mount btw so i can boot up without it mounting and then manually mount it without problem i just cant get it to automount on boot
[14:24] <MylenaReis> Hello everybody!
[14:24] <WhereIsMySpoon> so is there a way to do alias x='ps -allArgs'
[14:24] <MylenaReis> Anyone know how can I install on my computer Nux?
[14:24] <WhereIsMySpoon> or something similar
[14:24] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: what you are saying makes no sense
[14:24] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you can alias what ever you want
[14:24] <StepNjump> I switched from NVIDIA card to a much faster GPU ATI card. Looks like all the drivers are installed, however, I cannot figure out how to render 3D. Anyone could know how to do this here today?
[14:24] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, but i dont want to have to alias every single argument of ps
[14:24] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: alias x='whatever you want"
[14:25] <resus> hi all, my smb share doesn't mount on boot because networking isn't on yet when it tries to mount, any ideas? thanks!
[14:25] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: sorry you are making no sense
[14:25] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you want to alias x='ps -allargs" but you don't want to type ps -allargs
[14:25] <sipior> Ignisss: try adding "nobootwait" to the fstab entry.
[14:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, so if i just do ps --help then get the list of args then just do alias x='ps type_all_of_the_args_here'..that will work?
[14:27] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: work out the options you want from "man ps" then do alias x='ps -the-options-you-want'
[14:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> yea
[14:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> ok
[14:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> thanks
[14:27] <zagibu> your thing with the backticks is not forbidden, too
[14:27] <Ignisss> it boots but it still doesnt automount
[14:28] <^Satan^> So the problem is really with automount in fstab, yeah?
[14:28] <^Satan^> maybe not RAID-specific?
[14:28] <Ignisss> UUID=uuidhere /media/MediaC ext4 defaults,nobootwait 0 2
[14:29] <zagibu> basically, backticks do a command substitution...they run the thing in backticks and substitute it with the result
[14:29] <zagibu> same thing as $(...)
[14:29] <Ignisss> is the entry to fstab with that i can boot but when i check it aint mounted but if i do mdadm --detail --scan it does say to raid is running fine
[14:30] <zagibu> so if you do x = `ps -eax` and then do echo $x, it will run ps -eax and echo the result
[14:30] <zagibu> oh, he's not even in here anymore
[14:31] <acnot> So I just installed the LAMP stack on Ubuntu 11.10 with sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ but localhost isn't working
[14:32] <ikonia> "localhost isn't working" come on, you need to be more detailed in the problem
[14:32] <mneptok> acnot: is Apache configured to respond on the loopback interface?
[14:32] <ikonia> what's the error, is apache even running,
[14:33] <danielcbit> Hi Everybody
[14:33] <acnot> mneptok, I am guessing not
[14:33] <ikonia> helps if you give the error
[14:33] <ikonia> or describe the problem
[14:33] <Ignisss> maybe i should try by name instead of uuid just to see ;p
[14:34] <forever2432> acnot: check if server is running sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[14:34] <acnot> ikonia, good point
[14:34] <mneptok> acnot: your guesses are not enough to trigger the "let's spend 20 minutes of my morning helping this person," response. guesses aren't helpful.
[14:34] <gamita> hello
[14:34] <gamita> help
[14:34] <gamita> i go to the school
[14:35] <mneptok> acnot: go and look. is the httpd running? is that the localhost you're talking about? or are you talking about mysqld not accepting DB connections from the loopback? what?
[14:36] <acnot> I am just looking up the command for checking if Apache is running
[14:36] <Ignisss> ok it must be to UUID cause when i make it mount from /dev/md127 it DOES mount at boot
[14:36] <forever2432> acnot:sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[14:36] <acnot> Cool thanks
[14:38] <forever2432> acnot: make sure the header of your browser has "localhost" written in when testing
[14:38] <JonathanEllis> I recently installed ubuntu 11-10 and google chrome. Now every time I start chrome and try to go to pretty much any website like gmail, the chrome window just closes. I have tried removing, deleting the hidden chrome directory in my home directory and reinstalling and no dice. Any ideas, please?
[14:38] <mneptok> JonathanEllis: invoke "google-chrome" from the command line and see what errors get generated.
[14:40] <Ignisss> is it normal for mdadm to return a different uuid then ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[14:40] <Skribe> anyone know a scrpit that would allow x11vnc server to start automaticly with saved settings?
[14:43] <acnot> Can you guys believe that the lamp install command didn't actually install apache2!
[14:43] <forever2432>  acnot: LOL! it happens
[14:43] <lotuspsychje> !lamp
[14:44] <acnot> It works! Yay!
[14:44] <forever2432> acnot: cool
[14:45] <forever2432> !gimp
[14:45] <forever2432> interesting
[14:45] <Ignisss> !mdadm

[14:46] <AdvoWork> i've just done a connect to server, and then right clicked on that link and then added to bookmark. this works fine, how can I add that bookmark to the desktop/shortcut?
[14:46] <thiebaude> hey everyone, after i close chrome its still running in system monitor, how do i close it?
[14:46] <Ignisss> one raid returned 2 uuids one from mdadm (device uuid) one (different) from ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ (filesystem uuid) and i had to add the filesystem uuid to the /etc/fstab now it works with no problem
[14:47] <Ignisss> just telling you guys incase someone else comes in here with the same issue ;P
[14:47] <st1> probably more helpful if it's a forum post
[14:48] <Ignisss> talking about chrome ;p when i keep it in launcher and i close it and open a new one i get 2 icons in the launcher anyone else has this?
[14:48] <mi3> hello!

[14:48] <mi3> how can i show rss feeds in the terminal using wget? I dont want to use any feed reader, any suggestions?
[14:49] <thiebaude> Sidewinder1, ok, there are many processes for chrome
[14:49] <thiebaude> :)
[14:49] <mneptok> mi3: wget is not a parser. it will grab the raw RSS file.
[14:49] <satyanash> hi. how can i enable an upstart job so that it is run on system startup?
[14:49] <Sidewinder1> thiebaude, I'm not sure what the main process is; I don't use chrome, sorry. :-(
[14:49] <beejeebus> does anyone know if apt-mirror reports new packages it got during a run?
[14:50] <beejeebus> is that what the NEW file in its log directory is?
[14:50] <thiebaude> thanks anyway, i might just use firefox
[14:50] <mi3> mneptok, i want to show the titles [wget downloads html files]
[14:50] <Sidewinder1> thiebaude, That's what I use, FF.
[14:50] <mneptok> mi3: wget is not a parser.

[14:53] <Shotokan81> I think it is a driver issue, my card is Realtek ALC861, I've seen a lot of forum with people having similar issues, but I do not get the solution. I am a complete beginner
[14:53] <ikonia> mi3: you need an rss reader, not a file fetcher
[14:54] <mi3> mneptok, ikonia, will i be able to show newsbeuter feeds on conky?
[14:54] <ikonia> mi3: conky is a system monitor
[14:54] <mi3> i know ikonia
[14:55] <ikonia> mi3: http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_add_an_RSS_feed_to_Conky
[14:55] <freezey> my damn resolv.conf keeps changing.. does anyone know what keeps updating it?
[14:55] <ikonia> mi3: it doesn't strike me as a tool that should be used for reading rss feeds
[14:55] <mi3> i tried that but am not getting satisfactory results
[14:55] <bilegt> Hello, how to set windows to move another workspace by draggin?
[14:55] <mneptok> mi3: Conky can download and parse RSS itself - http://www.mikesplanet.net/2007/10/rss-and-conky-147/
[14:55] <sipior> freezey: likely dhcp. what is the timescale for the changes?
[14:55] <LiNuX`sup> my additional drivers will not install, tried from synaptic and still nothing. went to amd site and downloaded latest linux driver and sh'd it to install and they still don't seem to be working
[14:55] <ikonia> mi3: then use an rss reader if conky isn't working how you want it to
[14:55] <AdvoWork> Out of interest, how many people are on 11.10 and are not using unity?
[14:56] <ikonia> AdvoWork: does it matter /
[14:56] <freezey> i am not sure it happens every every hour maybe.. every 2 hours
[14:56] <freezey> something like that
[14:56] <LiNuX`sup> I'm using gnome3 as of today!
[14:56] <^Satan^> 11.04 right now, upgrading to 11.10 at the moment, no intention of using Unity, AdvoWork
[14:56] <mneptok> AdvoWork: please do not poll the channel. others, please do not respond.
[14:56] <LiNuX`sup> I like unity but I find gnome3 faster for production purposes
[14:57] <mi3> mneptok, i have used rss variable in conky but its still buggy, it will show for 5-6 minutes then it will disappear and leave backtraces on the terminal
[14:57] <LiNuX`sup> at least till compiz is fully integrated
[14:57] <ikonia> mi3: ok, so use an rss reader tool
[14:57] <mneptok> mi3: talk to the Conky developers then. file bug reports.
[14:57] <gmclean> wtf man
[14:57] <mi3> ikonia: hmm, will need to use that rss reader...
[14:57] <gmclean> network-manager saves my wireless info in a profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but doesn't automatically connect at boot and i have to re-enter my wireless password so that it can create another profile file every time. any clues?
[14:57] <ikonia> what ? that rss reader ?
[14:58] <freezey> sipior: so yeah every so often maybe 1 hour 2 hours
[14:59] <sipior> freezey: are you, in fact, using dhcp?
[14:59] <mi3> ikonia, mneptok, i think i got an idea,[dont steal it hehe] i will try newsbeuter and somehow get it to save txt file and then will tell conky to grep from those files howz that sound?
[14:59] <freezey> sipior:  yeah.. anyway to have it load a specific resolv.conf?
[14:59] <ikonia> sounds a terrible idea
[15:00] <BrixSat> any one nows how to disable cache in chrome/chromium? (i mean realy disable)
[15:00] <mi3> ikonia: good...
[15:00] <sipior> freezey: sure. edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and remove the "domain-name-servers" entry from the "request" stanza.
[15:01] <sipior> freezey: don't forget to restart dhcp.

[15:06] <quakig> Anyone... I need help connecting jack sever..
[15:06] <mike-w> i cannot copy things from the terminal to firefox
[15:06] <mike-w> how can i slove this?
[15:07] <quakig>  am having probles connecting to jack sever.ERROR: control open "/dev/audio" (No such file or directory) Any suggestions ?? Thnks
[15:07] <quakig> What should be done.. should i make a new directory dev/audio
[15:07] <mike-w> i use "+y(vim) to copy things
[15:07] <Skribe> mike-w, use short cuts! ctrl c, ctrl v, ctrl x
[15:07] <ikonia> quakig: is /dev/audio there......
[15:07] <mike-w> really? on linux ctrl+c won't work
[15:08] <quakig> no it isnt
[15:08] <ikonia> quakig: there is the problem
[15:08] <ikonia> =/window 37
[15:08] <ikonia> oops
[15:08] <hardc0de> tried ctrl+shift+c ?
[15:08] <slawko_r> mike-w: or install alternate termianl
[15:08] <mike-w> oh, i've tried terminator
[15:08] <Skribe> use right click copy then ctrl v
[15:08] <Skribe> my bad
[15:08] <Shotokan81> Hi all, how can I check if my Realtek ALC861 is working fine?
[15:09] <quakig> how do i go about correcting it.. should i make a new directory "/dev/audio
[15:09] <mike-w> even when i right click on the selected text in the terminal, "Copy" is grey
[15:09] <ikonia> quakig: no
[15:09] <mike-w> i don't know why
[15:10] <ikonia> quakig: udev controls device files
[15:10] <ikonia> quakig: point it at your audio device, or find out why you audio device isn't be detected/created
[15:10] <Skribe> odd, works fine for me even with out sudo
[15:10] <Skribe> as it should
[15:11] <quakig> @ikonia.. what would audio device is detected.. i can play music on media players.. but nothing related to jack works
[15:11] <ikonia> quakig: right, so jack is looking for /dev/audio as your audio device, if it's already working it's clearly not /dev/audio, so point jack at your audio device
[15:12] <Skribe> @ quakig, getting jack to work correctly isnt fun man, it took me about 2 weeks to get my delta 1010lt to work!
[15:12] <dyd> how to close evolution by command line?
[15:12] <dyd> sudo killall ... ?
[15:12] <ikonia> dyd: you can't, you can only kill it
[15:12] <ikonia> dyd: kill -11 $PID
[15:13] <quakig> \@ikonia : oh ok thanks.. will try to do that.. thanks a lot
[15:13] <dyd> ikonia, thanks
[15:13] <quakig> @skribe: am struggling with jack for the last 3 days.. shouldnt loose hope then :)
[15:20] <mg123> greetings #ubuntu
[15:20] <mg123> is there a terminal command for fixing improperly dismounted NTFS file systems in ubuntu?
[15:21] <mg123> I have a hard drive I am trying to read using an external hard drive enclosure. the drive itself is a primary hard drive from a windows laptop
[15:21] <john_doe_jr> is there an text2html command line software?
[15:21] <Shotokan81> Anyone knows where I can find"Sound Preferences" in lubuntu11.10?
[15:21] <mg123> It was working earlier...but now I get errors  in dmesg
[15:22] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: what should "text2html" do?
[15:22] <john_doe_jr> iceroot: convert an .txt file to a .html file
[15:22] <squidy> hi there.. isn't amsn available in the official precise repository?
[15:22] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: with what? tables? css?
[15:23] <Shotokan81> How can I check the sound hardware reckognized by my ubuntu?
[15:24] <ehm> Shotokan81, play an audio file
[15:24] <iceroot> Shotokan81: playing sound
[15:24] <pepee> Shotokan81, use alsamixer
[15:25] <Shotokan81> when i open audacious, it says something like "ALSA error - no suitable element found"
[15:25] <Sidewinder1> Shotokan81, In terminal you might try sudo lshw then enter your password and see if your sound card, etc., show up there.
[15:26] <john_doe_jr> iceroot: hey, sorry I accidentally exited...do you have any suggestions?
[15:26] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: its not possible
[15:26] <gmclean> network-manager saves my wireless info in a profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but doesn't automatically connect at boot and i have to re-enter my wireless password so that it can create another profile file every time. any clues?
[15:27] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: because how should the tool know what you want in html, headlines, tables and so on
[15:27] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: what is the title, what the body and so on
[15:27] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: only the other way is possible and usefull
[15:27] <john_doe_jr> iceroot: I know it's possible..I've done it before...I just don't remember how
[15:27] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: mv foo.txt foo.html
[15:27] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: just rename the file
[15:28] <pepee> john_doe_jr, apt-cache search text html | less
[15:28] <iceroot> john_doe_jr: there is only html2text
[15:28] <pepee> txt2html
[15:29] <iceroot> i can not imaging what that tool should do
[15:29] <iceroot> but ok
[15:30] <churchill> Hi. Why does my Ubuntu freeze at least once a day, especially when I'm playing videos and enabling the proprietary graphics driver?
[15:30] <Shotokan81> @Sidewinder: Thanks, I cannot see my Realtek ALC861, but I can see this: Audio device             product: N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller
[15:31] <pepee> Shotokan81, lspci | grep -i audio
[15:31] <mfilipe> what is the shortcut to go the tray?
[15:31] <pepee> Shotokan81, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1467387.html
[15:32] <andy1984> hallo miteinander
[15:33] <DragonSlay> i'm working on configuring network in ubuntu installed in my virtual machine. i did no setup the network during installation. i tried following tutorial in some blogs but they are not working for me. can you guys help me configure he network?
[15:33] <edwarent> hi for all
[15:33] <pepee> DragonSlay, vmware or vbox?
[15:33] <andy1984> kann ich in einem asus notebook neben einer ssd festplatte auch noch eine normale hdd irgendwie mit anschliessen?
[15:33] <pepee> de | andy1984
[15:33] <DragonSlay> pepee: vbox
[15:33] <pepee> !de | andy1984
[15:34] <andy1984> oh sorry
[15:34] <elijah> I just tried piping this and it won't let me out with ctrl+x - "php -i | nano"
[15:34] <pepee> DragonSlay, /jion #vbox
[15:35] <pepee> * /join
[15:35] <Shotokan81> pepee,  00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[15:35] <st1> if I want to make a ext4 partition accessible to all users, should I do something with fstab or permission?
[15:35] <DragonSlay> pepee: well actually if you can tell me how to setup network manually in ubuntu , it would be fine
[15:36] <passstab> hi
[15:36] <Sidewinder1> st1, I believe permissions will do what you want.
[15:36] <passstab> i booted into recovery
[15:36] <thiebaude> Sidewinder1, everything worked out just right
[15:36] <passstab> and selected fsck
[15:36] <pepee> DragonSlay, should work if you add the device and reboot the vm
[15:36] <DragonSlay> pepee: how do i add the device?
[15:37] <pepee> st1 you can modify permissions within fstab
[15:37] <passstab> but it dosn't seen like it's doing anything
[15:37] <john_doe_jr> iceroot: hey, that worked..thanks!
[15:37] <passstab> (onearic)
[15:37] <Sidewinder1> thiebaude, Great!
[15:37] <st1> Sidewinder1:  but new files created by one user still cant be deleted by another user
[15:37] <elijah> does anyone know why "php -i | nano" would lock me out from saving or doing anything with modifier keys?
[15:37] <pepee> st1 man fstab, look for mode and umask
[15:38] <st1> pepee ext4 doesn't work with umask it seems
[15:38] <elijah> What would be a cleaner way to do a php info? Use less?
[15:38] <Guest32235> hello all
[15:38] <churchill> Hi. Why does my Ubuntu freeze at least once a day, especially when I'm playing videos and enabling the proprietary graphics driver?
[15:38] <thiebaude> Church, flash videos?
[15:39] <Shotokan81> oops, fat finger
[15:39] <pepee> DragonSlay, shutdown the vm, open VirtualBox Manager, right click on the vm, configuration...
[15:39] <chevin> elijah, yes less would work well. Or you can save to a file: "php -i > phpinfo.txt"
[15:39] <DragonSlay> pepee: ok, then
[15:39] <pepee> DragonSlay, from then, go to audio
[15:39] <pepee> "enable audio"
[15:40] <Shotokan81> Sidewinder1, the hardware recognised is 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[15:40] <pepee> st1 no idea :/
[15:40] <DragonSlay> pepee: audio is not my problem
[15:40] <pepee> DragonSlay, ahh sorry..
[15:41] <Shotokan81> pepee its me the no sound guy :)
[15:41] <pepee> DragonSlay, ahh sorry..  from there, network, enable network adapter
[15:41] <compute> is a imac a good computer
[15:41] <DragonSlay> pepee: ok, then
[15:41] <pepee> compute, yes, but not cheap
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> Shotokan81, I'm not ignoring you, I'm just not sure how you should proceed from here, sorry. Perhaps another user could assist you with your sound problem..
[15:42] <lookatmeyou> :)
[15:42] <Shotokan81> sure thanks
[15:42] <compute> what is the best computer for hacking can you hack with a imac
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> Wish I could've been of more help.
[15:42] <Shotokan81> maybe buy an imac :)
[15:42] <pepee> DragonSlay, use bridge and select the network interface of the host
[15:43] <pepee> compute, use linux, you should be fine
[15:43] <DragonSlay> pepee: it is already bridged
[15:44] <pepee> DragonSlay, ok, so you need to configure it in the vm itself
[15:44] <truexfan81> can someone please tell me how to get libstdc++5 on lucid? i'm wanting to play the ut2004 demo
[15:44] <Error4o4> 11.10 Gnome 3, the window fonts are just too large, how can I make them smaller?
[15:44] <pepee> DragonSlay, do you know how to use ifconfig?
[15:44] <compute> so you saying a imac is not good for hacking
[15:44] <DragonSlay> pepee:  yea
[15:44] <elijah> chevin: when I do a "phpo -i | less" I cannot search the text and the only way to exit is to press q then return, is this normal? I was hoping less would let me search and navigate up and down the page but it doesn't. Pressing the up arrow just enters that text on the bottom of the less window.
[15:44] <elijah> chevin: *when I do a "php -i | less"
[15:45] <pepee> DragonSlay, is the network device being recognized by the guest?
[15:45] <OerHeks> compute, hacking and discussion is offtopic, thanks.
[15:45] <st1> Error4o4: just window fonts? anyway install gnome advance settings to change font size
[15:45] <DragonSlay> pepee: no, only a loopback(lo) is available
[15:45] <ninjai> hey guys... any of you running eclipse & JDK 7 (oracle) in Ubuntu 11.10? I added my certificate for my AD to my keystore and I get an error that the cert wasn't found (I had it working in arch linux yesterday)  I used this command: sudo /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/keytool -import -keystore /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file mycert.ce
[15:45] <pepee> compute, /join #security or metasploit
[15:46] <pepee> DragonSlay, sudo ifconfig -a
[15:46] <truexfan81> can someone please tell me how to get libstdc++5 on lucid?
[15:46] <DragonSlay> pepee: something like eth1 is available
[15:47] <pepee> DragonSlay, sudo ifconfig eth1 up; dhclient -v eth1
[15:47] <pepee> err sudo dhclient -v eth1
[15:47] <chevin> elijah, not sure exactly why less has that behavior, but I get the same thing. Looks like php -i is outputting some control characters that are making things a bit wonky. "php -i > phpinfo.txt; less phpinfo.txt" works OK for me, just writes it out to a file first
[15:48] <compute> i am just leaning about computer i am runnig ubutu
[15:48] <pepee> truexfan81, if the package is not in the repos, you can download and install it by hand
[15:48] <DragonSlay> pepee: looks like a wrong syntax for dhclient. it throws dhclient actual howto for syntax
[15:48] <Shotokan81> pepee, should i paste the outputs of the commands you sent me in PM?
[15:48] <abusaad_> hi all
[15:48] <pepee> Shotokan81, use pastebin
[15:49] <pepee> DragonSlay, sudo dhclient eth1
[15:49] <k_5673> !pastebin
[15:49] <k_5673> !pastebinit
[15:49] <DragonSlay> pepee: then
[15:50] <magn3ts> Hi. X.org has taken to crashing a LOT recently.
[15:50] <magn3ts> Number one, how can I debug why.
[15:50] <compute> what is the new ubuntu going to be like
[15:50] <magn3ts> compute: like the current one but slightly different.
[15:50] <magn3ts> compute: Google and #ubuntu+1 are your friends for that question
[15:50] <pepee> DragonSlay, ifconfig eth1 to check if the interface has an IP addresss
[15:51] <pepee> magn3ts, what graphics driver?
[15:51] <DragonSlay> pepee: now apt-get can update. and ifconfig displays a ipaddress. can you explain me how this is all working?
[15:51] <Shotokan81> k_5673, thank you so much - I had no clue
[15:51] <magn3ts> pepee: nvidia
[15:51] <Shotokan81> pepee, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/883437/
[15:51] <compute> how can i find someone ip
[15:51] <lun4tic> compute: depends on which version you have used before :D It looks quite similar to 11.10 but has a lot of new stuff like the lenses and the HUD
[15:51] <magn3ts> pepee: nvidia-common: 1:0.2.35.1
[15:52] <BobCat> Hello all - Is there a way to increase the disk size in wubi after install?
[15:52] <pepee> magn3ts,  /j #Xorg ?
[15:52] <pepee> magn3ts, no idea ,sorry
[15:52] <magn3ts> pepee: good idea thanks
[15:52] <lun4tic> is there any way to get something like the "quick reply" feature of gnome shell in unity?
[15:52] <pepee> no problem
[15:53] <compute> is a imac is a good computer and how i find some one ip
[15:53] <lun4tic> When i get messages i get a notification and can directly click reply and text back. in unity i always have to open a chat window for that
[15:53] <sipior> compute: i think you're in the wrong channel.
[15:53] <jamil_1> how can I install a package in my /home/jamil/somelocation ?
[15:53] <bazhang> compute, how is getting someone's ip an ubuntu issue
[15:54] <Shotokan81> pepee, isn't it strange to see a modem listed in the audio devices? could that be the issue?
[15:54] <compute> i wanted to no can you do it on you buntu
[15:54] <bazhang> jamil_1, what package
[15:55] <jamil_1> *.deb packages
[15:55] <truexfan81> ok got it installed, but the game still can't find it
[15:55] <ikonia> jamil_1: has had this clarified in #kubuntu already
[15:55] <bazhang> jamil_1, what package though
[15:55] <jamil_1> yup
[15:55] <shaneo> hi guys i wrote a tiny script that uses scp the send a backup in a tar file to my home pc i was just wondering if i wanted to have the tar file be named with the date how could i do this
[15:55] <truexfan81> ./ut2004-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[15:55] <magn3ts> Hm, well maybe someone can answer this... what on earth is "version current" and "post-release updates" supposed to mean in jockey-gtk exactly?
[15:55] <gmclean> network-manager saves my wireless info in a profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but doesn't automatically connect at boot and i have to re-enter my wireless password so that it can create another profile file every time. any clues?
[15:55] <magn3ts> shaneo: put `date` in the filename?
[15:55] <jamil_1> bazhang:  typesafe-stack
[15:55] <mneptok> jamil_1: please do not cross-post questions in multiple channels. it results in needless spinning of tires.
[15:55] <luigi_> wii
[15:56] <shaneo> magn3ts, lol of course its that simple thanks
[15:56] <pepee> DragonSlay, is justa that sudo ifconfig eth1 up to enable the interface and sudo dhclient eth1  to get an ip address from a dhcp server
[15:56] <jamil_1> mneptok: sorry :)
[15:56] <magn3ts> shaneo: sure :)
[15:56] <pepee> Shotokan81, i don't really know
[15:57] <pepee> Shotokan81, tried alsamixer?
[15:57] <Zaitzev> how do I rename a mounted hdd?
[15:57] <DragonSlay> pepee: should i do this every time i start the system, or this is a one time thing?
[15:57] <truexfan81> ok i'm about ready to throw in towel, is there a first person shooter in the repos that would be a good test of my new gt430?
[15:57] <Shotokan81> what do you mean by try alsamixer?
[15:57] <pepee> DragonSlay, does the vm have NetworkManager?
[15:57] <lun4tic> actually as a long term (not LTS only) ubuntu user im quite impressed on how well 12.04 works with unity by now
[15:58] <DragonSlay> pepee: no, it has no gui
[15:58] <pepee> truexfan81, http://www.playdeb.net/
[15:58] <lun4tic> i hope to encourage more ppl to commit bug reports on annoying bugs and that canonical removes them asap :D
[15:58] <pepee> DragonSlay, install wicd-curses
[15:58] <ikonia> lun4tic: who are you talking to ?
[15:59] <lun4tic> ikonia: im just saying :D
[15:59] <ikonia> lun4tic: ok then please don't
[15:59] <lun4tic> very crowded channel... sry for disturbing
[15:59] <ikonia> lun4tic: no problem
[16:00] <gvandeweyer> how can i show available (non-loaded) kernel modules?
[16:01] <DragonSlay> pepee: during installation, starting wicd-curses failed. is that normal?
[16:01] <sipior> gvandeweyer: you can find them in /lib/modules
[16:01] <gvandeweyer> sipior: thanks,
[16:02] <pepee> gvandeweyer, modprobe -l | less
[16:03] <ikonia> pepee: that won't show unloaded modules
[16:03] <sipior> pepee: yeah, just saw that. clever. should read that man page more often.
[16:03] <elijah> chevin: thanks for confirming that it is not normal behaviour but is what happens when php -i provides the input.
[16:03] <jolson> When printing from the terminal, is it recommended to use "lp", "lpr" or something else?
[16:03] <gvandeweyer> pepee : yeah, that's what I needed, so I could grep that list for the correct name :-)
[16:03] <truexfan81> i got playdeb installed, but it appears one of the ppas is down, i just get errors when trying to install any of the games from the site
[16:03] <Shotokan81> pepee, launched alsamixer, it recon the card and the chip, I can change the volume on some pieces, but "master" is stuck at 0
[16:03] <pepee> sipior, "-l --list List all modules matching the given wildcard"
[16:03] <sipior> pepee: yes, i can read.
[16:04] <pepee> sipior, sorry, that was for ikonia
[16:04] <sipior> pepee: yeah, figured :-)
[16:05] <pepee> Shotokan81, use the up arroy in your keyboard
[16:05] <mkultra> i need to learn sed moar
[16:06] <Shotokan81> pepee, yes it works for PCM, MIC & BIP, but no bar for master and impossible to increase the value
[16:06] <pepee> DragonSlay, could you make it work?
[16:06] <DragonSlay> pepee: but how?
[16:07] <pepee> DragonSlay, what error do you get?
[16:08] <DragonSlay> pepee:  * Starting Network connection manager wicd                              [fail]

[16:09] <gear4> mkultra, no sound at all
[16:10] <DragonSlay> pepee: then
[16:10] <gear4> No /dev/audio or anything like that
[16:10] <pepee> DragonSlay, use wicd-curses to connect :)
[16:10] <DragonSlay> pepee: will it start on startup?
[16:11] <Carpe|Diem> Can anyone tell me what hash encryption linux uses to store its password in the /Etc/shadow file? thx
[16:11] <pepee> DragonSlay, no...
[16:11] <DragonSlay> pepee: so i should do service wicd start?
[16:12] <pepee> DragonSlay, no, just run wicd-curses
[16:12] <truexfan81> looks like alien arena will install, i wonder if that will be a good test of the new gpu
[16:13] <pepee> DragonSlay, you should modify /etc/network/interfaces if you want the interface to be configured automatically
[16:13] <DragonSlay> pepee: like auto eth1?
[16:13] <pepee> yes
[16:13] <DragonSlay> pepee: i have done that
[16:13] <DragonSlay> pepee: so i guess i dont need wicd anymore
[16:14] <pepee> DragonSlay, yes, but it's useful :)
[16:14] <DragonSlay> pepee: thank you dude. :)
[16:14] <pepee> DragonSlay, you are welcome
[16:14] <Shotokan81> pepee, Sidewinder1, all thanks a lot its getting late, hopefully will get this sorted sometime, bye

[16:16] <magn3ts> shaneo: you have to keep the backticks (on the ~ tilde button)
[16:16] <mezen_> Hi, ich hab ein Problem mit meiner Festplatte: Sie hat mehrere Partitionen, aber seit der Installation von Win7 auf einer anderen Festplatte sind 2 logische Partitionen verschwunden. Wie kann ich die wiederherstellen ohne die Daten, die da eigentlich drauf sind, zu verlieren?
[16:16] <magn3ts> shaneo: tar -whatever filename-backup-`date`.tar

[16:18] <mezen_> "Keine Probleme, aber sie können dir mehr helfen" (i know, german gramatic is not easy)
[16:19] <locsmif> magn3ts: "Kein Problem, aber sie können dir besser helfen" <-- better :)
[16:19] <elnur> Anyone knows how to make sendmail ignore the server's host and send emails anyway — even if they are targeting the server's hostname?
[16:19] <magn3ts> :) I thought the "du" was wrong, didn't occur to think of "besser". thanks. and with that, I'm off to german class, haha
[16:20] <locsmif> magn3ts: you're going great I would say

[16:36] <DJ> pepee: sudo adduser username audio
[16:36] <_Marcus> Zeusking19: Welcome!
[16:36] <pepee> hi Zeusking19
[16:36] <Zeusking19> _Marcus Thanks
[16:36] <pepee> dj I mean, to the bot
[16:36] <Zeusking19> Oh, and pepee.
[16:37] <Zeusking19> To be exact, I have used Ubuntu on a virtual machine since karmic 0_0
[16:37] <Ampix0> pepee hmm.. did that. gave it the password for the sudo command. it stalled for a good 10 seconds there and went back to shell. Tried to ping google. stalled again for a long time.  Unknown host google.com
[16:38] <pepee> Ampix0, ifconfig eth0
[16:38] <Zeusking19> Try pinging with the www.
[16:38] <Zeusking19> If not, add http:// as well.
[16:38] <ozpy> Hi. I have ubuntu 12.04. Ubuntu One does not work with it.
[16:39] <ozpy> I can't never access it
[16:39] <bazhang> ozpy, #ubuntu+1 for that
[16:39] <pepee> ozpy, /join #ubuntu+
[16:39] <qw-Russian> hello all
[16:39] <qw-Russian> help me please
[16:39] <pepee> ozpy,  #ubuntu+1
[16:39] <Ampix0> pepee. It seems to have a local IP ipv4 i see and a v6 good signs right? RX and TX packets 157, 14 respectively and no drops, or errors anything like that
[16:39] <bazhang> qw-Russian, with what
[16:39] <pepee> !ru | qw
[16:40] <Ampix0> pepee though it does say interrupt 16
[16:40] <_Marcus> pepee: He wasn't talking in Russian :/
[16:40] <ozpy> ok
[16:41] <qw-Russian> i would like delete hidden off-wire network? where it can be found to me
[16:41] <pepee> _Marcus, well, I suppose it could be useful to him
[16:41] <pepee> Ampix0, so it is working. ping 192.168.0.1 or something
[16:41] <_Marcus> pepee: If he can speak Russian better than English, it is better for him. We don't know that though
[16:42] <Ampix0> pepee could the issue with not being able to ping be related to the fact i am bridged?
[16:42] <zteam> Hi guys and girls
[16:42] <pepee> Ampix0, no idea...
[16:42] <pepee> hi zteam
[16:42] <zteam> I need some help to configure my printer
[16:43] <Foxhoundz> I was wondering
[16:43] <zteam> I have done this multiple times before but now it won't work since I reinstalled Ubuntu
[16:43] <Foxhoundz> Are there any drivers for AMD Radeon 6570 graphics card?
[16:44] <Foxhoundz> I just built a new PC and would like to install Linux on it. The integrated graphics should be automatically work ( Intel open source'd the drivers I believe)
[16:44] <pepee> foxbuntu, fglrx (propietary) or radeon (open source)
[16:44] <Foxhoundz> Which one is better in terms of performance?
[16:44] <zteam> if I try to print a test print Cups just state that it has sent 0 bytes to the printer
[16:44] <_Marcus> Foxhoundz: Check the AMD website.
[16:44] <lilVaratep> Can someone help me install fonts? I already moved "ProFont" files to /usr/share/fonts/misc and sudo mkfontscale, sudo mkfontdir, sudo fv-cache -vrt but the fonts still not showing up in xfontsel
[16:44] <pepee> fglrx, but it has some problems...
[16:45] <_Marcus> Foxhoundz: 32-bit or 64-bit?
[16:45] <zteam> Anybody got any ideas?
[16:45] <pepee> Foxhoundz, wiki.cchtml.com
[16:45] <Ampix0> pepee ya even pinging a laptop on the network does nothing. i have to manually ctrl+C out it wont even time out
[16:46] <pepee> zteam, /join #cups , they may help you
[16:47] <pepee> Ampix0, ifconfig eth0 to the pastebin
[16:47] <Ampix0> pepee alright ill have to type it lol
[16:47] <pepee> Ampix0, use pastebinit
[16:47] <pepee> !pastebinit > Ampix0
[16:48] <gain_> hi all
[16:48] <pepee> hi gain_
[16:48] <gain_> anyonw know the way to move the unity bar bottom?
[16:48] <Ampix0> pepee how would I pastebinit without internet :P
[16:48] <pepee> Ampix0, true ahah
[16:49] <Foxhoundz> _Marcus: 32bit
[16:49] <Ampix0> pepee lol
[16:49] <Foxhoundz> What's the maximum memory 32bit Linux operating systems support?
[16:49] <gain_> all the guide I've tried doesn't function (plugin for ccsm) I'm on 64bit
[16:51] <hungryhubby> what are required specs for running ubuntu desktop.............smoothly?
[16:51] <pepee> foxbuntu, 60GB according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[16:51] <pepee> Ampix0, so, does eth0 have an IP addr?
[16:52] <Ampix0> pepee looks like it to me. im writing it out in pastepin now
[16:52] <roasted> Question. Do I need the wakeonlan package installed for wake on LAN to work? I cannot get my desktop to wake up and I wondered if even needed that package for it to work
[16:52] <sacarlson> pepee: does ubuntu 32bit kernel support PAE?
[16:52] <Ampix0> pepee though it is also My local IP, since it is bridged.
[16:52] <pepee> sacarlson, IIRC ubuntu comes with PAE enabled by default
[16:52] <sacarlson> roasted: might be a bios setting that needs to be enabled also
[16:53] <nagarjuna> Hi, is there any command like to repair files of ubuntu.
[16:53] <sacarlson> pepee: IIRC is that default?
[16:53] <nagarjuna> like the same in windows
[16:53] <pepee> Ampix0, do you know how to use wireshark? it can be helpful to troubleshoot network problems
[16:54] <roasted> I know it's a bios setting. I cannot find it though but my board is supported
[16:54] <BloodSkin> gaiz, i r fail
[16:54] <Ampix0> pepee i love me some wireshark
[16:54] <sacarlson> pepee: sounds good cool,  I only have 4Gb of mem anyway but makes me think again if I need 64bit
[16:54] <iceroot> pepee: sacarlson 12.04 has pae by default
[16:54] <nagarjuna> Hi, is there any command like to repair files of ubuntu like the same in windows
[16:54] <BloodSkin> somehow i cant get postfix and dovecot to play nice anymore on new insalls
[16:54] <Ampix0> pepee http://pastebin.com/rWyAFanU
[16:54] <sacarlson> iceroot: thanks
[16:55] <hungryhubby> which is best cpu intel or amd
[16:55] <_Marcus> nagarjuna: What exactly do you want to repair?
[16:55] <gear4> pepee, #lad doesn't really help
[16:55] <BloodSkin> i know im overlooking something. i can send email and i even installed webmin to do some testng and it sees mail but clients cant pull them from the server because it looks like the maildir settings arent correct
[16:55] <Arizona> does anyone know how to kill pid ?
[16:55] <_Marcus> hungryhubby: Depends on a lot of things
[16:55] <iceroot> hungryhubby: there is more then one cpu from them, see ##hardware
[16:55] <_Marcus> Arizona: kill -9 pid
[16:55] <pepee> gear4, :(
[16:55] <sacarlson> Arizona: sudo kill 12334
[16:55] <Arizona> _Marcus how do i get the pids ?
[16:55] <BloodSkin> so its time to take a break and start over
[16:55] <iceroot> _Marcus: please dont use -9
[16:55] <_Marcus> iceroot: Why?
[16:55] <iceroot> Arizona: kill pid
[16:55] <gear4> can't someone here help ?
[16:55] <Jay_Levitt> Are there known weirdnesses in VNC'ing to Ubuntu 11.10 from certain clients? Using Chicken of the VNC on Mac, it only paints the screen once locally; after that I have to look at the real screen to see what I'm doing
[16:56] <_Marcus> iceroot: I was always told to use -9, what is best to use?
[16:56] <iceroot> _Marcus: its bad, because its killing it directly and the program can not delete temp files, close sockets and so on
[16:56] <_Marcus> iceroot: Ah
[16:56] <iceroot> _Marcus: use kill pid which is using -15 by default
[16:56] <zenith> hello, i'm trying to format a fat filesystem usb, but it gives me this output, what's wrong? Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[16:56] <zenith> Total number of sectors (983776) not a multiple of sectors per track (61)!
[16:56] <zenith> Add mtools_skip_check=1 to your .mtoolsrc file to skip this test
[16:56] <pepee> Ampix0, do your system has networkmanager installed?
[16:57] <_Marcus> zenith: It's recommended to pastebin that next time
[16:57] <Ampix0> pepee unless it comes on ubuntu server iso. no.
[16:57] <pepee> Ampix0, ahh k
[16:57] <nagarjuna> Marcus: i did so many configurations on my pc and i installed kubuntu-desktop. So everything is messedup because of that kub..-desktop. I dont go for reinstall ubuntu. I want that my ubuntu looks like fresh thing.
[16:58] <mkultra> i just setup my drives to easily format
[16:58] <Ampix0> pepee. ya this is fresh. Would you recommend just using ubuntu desktop for me? and maybe killing the x server when it's all ready
[16:58] <iceroot> nagarjuna: so you want to remove kde?
[16:58] <mkultra> just wipe the os and keep personal files in home
[16:58] <zenith> _Marcus, sorry :-(
[16:58] <nagarjuna> Marcus: While installing windows we will get an option like repair. So it will repair all the conf file
[16:58] <Ampix0> pepee I assume that is pretty much the same thing?
[16:58] <Escherial> so, anyone have suggestions for graphics programs that are nascently like paint.net in terms of ease of use? the gimp is just way too unstable for me to use on this machine :\
[16:58] <nagarjuna> iceroot: yes
[16:58] <iceroot> !puregnome | nagarjuna
[16:58] <pepee> Ampix0, i don't think so, but I don't know
[16:58] <Escherial> i keep getting this issue where controls/menus don't draw until they're forced to refresh, which is quite annoying
[16:58] <_Marcus> zenith: It's fine. You only had two lines, so it wasn't much.
[16:58] <iceroot> nagarjuna: look there for the command to remove kde and dont use the last install command from that link
[16:58] <gear4> would this help: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f7d9d648eac53baafea163be0d6a95d4969d2991
[16:59] <mkultra> Escherial, inkscape
[16:59] <iceroot> nagarjuna: or use it with the desktop you want
[16:59] <pepee> Ampix0, dmesg | less  <- look for error messages
[16:59] <Escherial> mkultra: inkscape is decent, but i'm looking for a raster editor, not a vector one
[16:59] <satyanash> Hi, How do I prevent users from shutting down a computer unless they have superuser privileges ?
[16:59] <sacarlson> Escherial: gimp is very stable on ubuntu  10.04
[16:59] <_Marcus> styanash: Through a command? By default you need sudo to use the poweroff command or shutdown.
[17:00] <Ampix0> pepee this is as long as the bible.. is that bad XD
[17:00] <_Marcus> styanash: Or did you mean through GUI
[17:00] <satyanash> _Marcus, GDM allows nonroot users to shut down the computer..
[17:00] <pepee> Ampix0, haha
[17:00] <mkultra> rm -rf gdm
[17:00] <Escherial> sacarlson: perhaps my window/menu redrawing issue isn't solely related to the gimp, then :\
[17:00] <kish> Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239: Device udisks-luks-uuid-b22beb87-14b0-42ad-8dfb-4ad72cc3fb14-uid1000 already exists.
[17:00] <kish> WHY
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> Escherial  find the word 'raster' on this page http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software
[17:00] <kish> i can't mount luks disks
[17:00] <zenith> guys any idea with the pendrive?
[17:01] <Escherial> MonkeyDust: that's helpful, thanks :)
[17:01] <Ampix0> pepee whoah wait
[17:01] <mkultra> zenith alt + f2 and then enter nautilus
[17:01] <sacarlson> kish: did you clone a disk?
[17:01] <zenith> mkultra, what for?
[17:02] <Ampix0> pepee PCI: ignoring host bridge from windows from ACPI; if necessary , use "pci=use_crs" and report a bug
[17:02] <mkultra> your pen drive
[17:02] <BloodSkin> are there any logs in dovecot that would help me figure out why i cant recieve email?
[17:02] <Ampix0> pepee witha  few related ignore messages below
[17:03] <sacarlson> BloodSkin: I've had problems within the last 12 or so months that I can't get mail from most sources if I don't have encrypted certs setup to recieve
[17:04] <mkultra> thunderbird works for me....
[17:04] <BloodSkin> it looks like the mail is recieved but its not being sent to the right mailbox
[17:04] <zenith_> one question, does an usb pendrive have guid or mbr table?
[17:04] <BloodSkin> looks like it gets lost somewhere because webmin can see that it exists but nothing else can and it cant be listed
[17:04] <mkultra> usb pendrives are generally windows ntfs or fat32
[17:04] <satyanash> Hi, How do I prevent users from shutting down a computer unless they have superuser privileges ? AKA disable GDMs Shutdown option ?
[17:05] <zenith_> mkultra, that's the filesystem, i mean the table
[17:05] <mkultra> disable gdm
[17:05] <sacarlson> satyanash: I thought that was default, you must be sudo to shutdown
[17:05] <satyanash> Haha.. I would.. But it might interfere with other members of my family who might want to use the computer in my absence.
[17:05] <pepee> Ampix0, http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/ignoring-host-bridge-windows-acpi-recent-laptop-help-198938101.html#198938221
[17:06] <satyanash> sacarlson, How do you think the GUIs shutdown button works then ?
[17:06] <pepee> Ampix0, it says, "If your devices *are* working correctly, you can just ignore the hint."
[17:06] <zenith_> guys any idea about the usb pendrive?
[17:06] <sacarlson> satyanash: I auto login to a user that's not sudo and he can't shutdown,  I have to sudo to do it
[17:06] <satyanash> is it ?
[17:06] <satyanash> lemme check.
[17:07] <Ampix0> pepee im not understanding :/
[17:07] <pepee> Ampix0, it is working, since at least you receive an IP address from a dhcp server
[17:07] <satyanash> sacarlson, aahh.
[17:08] <satyanash> sacarlson, it just returned back to my session.
[17:08] <pepee> Ampix0, the thing is, i don't know why it is not pinging :(
[17:08] <Ampix0> pepee I assume if i had a direct connection, this most likely would not be an issue
[17:09] <Ca11um> How do I create a bash script?
[17:09] <pepee> Ampix0, it is a vm? if so, vbox?
[17:09] <gear4> touch file.sh
[17:09] <gear4> Add to top: #!/bin/bash
[17:09] <gear4> done
[17:09] <Ca11um> Thanks.
[17:09] <Ampix0> pepee. Nope I actually orded a dell off ebay to use as a minecraft server. not knowing linux well was a big mistake.. lol
[17:09] <locsmif> Ca11um: http://linuxcommand.org/
[17:09] <zykotick9> !webmin | BloodSkin
[17:10] <locsmif> Ca11um: that's a very good starter's tutorial
[17:10] <Escherial> so, what do you do if synaptic reports a package as broken?
[17:10] <Ampix0> pepee um how do i exit that message screen you gave me
[17:10] <Escherial> my installed version of the gimp, for instance...
[17:10] <pepee> Ampix0, press q
[17:11] <Ampix0> pepee ty
[17:11] <satyanash> sacarlson, shutdown button from other nonroot users did not work. However If I use the shut down button from the login screen.. it shut down the computer.
[17:11] <gear4> because no-one's logged in
[17:11] <locsmif> I just compiled a kernel, all of it worked, except on reboot, I found ipv4 seemed to be missing
[17:11] <satyanash> gear4, I was logged in..
[17:11] <sacarlson> satyanash: I guess force auto login to guest as default,  I guess gdm login is run as root
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> Escherial  try sudo apt-get -f install (that's f for fix)
[17:12] <pepee> Ampix0, sorry, I think I can't help you :(
[17:12] <locsmif> What could be the matter? I didn't switch it off in kernel options best I recall
[17:12] <pepee> Ampix0, try asking in #networking or ask again in this channel
[17:12] <_Neytiri_> can someone please tell me where i can download 11.4   Yes i need 11.4 not 11.10
[17:12] <satyanash> sacarlson, if some one logs off on the guest account, then he can shut down the computer.
[17:12] <Ampix0> pepee. it's cool ill try with a direct connection when i can
[17:13] <pepee> Ampix0, how did you create the bridge?
[17:13] <sacarlson> satyanash: oh no it will probly put them back to gdm and can still shutdown then
[17:13] <pepee> with another linux machine?
[17:13] <gear4> "However If I use the shut down button from the login screen.. it shut down the computer."
[17:13] <MonkeyDust> _Neytiri_  http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[17:13] <Escherial> MonkeyDust: with no further arguments, or do i specify the package that's broken?
[17:13] <gear4> satyanash, "However If I use the shut down button from the login screen.. it shut down the computer."
[17:13] <MonkeyDust> Escherial  just that
[17:13] <pepee> Ampix0, remember, ifconfig -a to see all your interfaces, and dhclient to get an IP address from a dhcp server
[17:13] <Ampix0> pepee. slecet both devices in dwindows. my usb wireless card and my network adapter and rightclick, create bridge
[17:13] <Escherial> MonkeyDust: "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded."
[17:13] <gear4> my reply: "because no-one's logged in"
[17:14] <Escherial> when i try to "fix broken packages" in synaptic, it complains that i have some held packages, although i don't remember holding anything
[17:14] <Foxhoundz> What does it say about Ubuntu when the homepage advertises some cloud computing service as opposed to the main centerpiece -- the operating system?
[17:14] <MonkeyDust> Escherial  in Synaptic, on the left, look for Broken packages - i'm off now ask someone else for further advice
[17:15] <locsmif> How could ipv4 have been disabled in my compiled Ubuntu kernel?
[17:15] <satyanash> sacarlson, So, I guess I need to stop running gdm as root ?

[17:15] <locsmif> Anybody familiar with these errors?
[17:16] <satyanash> sacarlson, thnx.
[17:16] <Zeusking19> Hello again
[17:16] <sacarlson> locsmif: did you try sudo dhclient eth0 ; ?
[17:17] <locsmif> sacarlson: yes
[17:17] <locsmif> I followed http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2012/01/13/compile-linux-kernel-3-2-for-ubuntu-11-10/
[17:17] <locsmif> Which worked
[17:17] <sacarlson> locsmif: ok is there a device eth0?  maybe check with ifconfig ;
[17:17] <locsmif> Kernel booted fine and smooth too
[17:17] <lilVaratep> Does anyone know how to change the status bar to the date/time in DWM?
[17:17] <locsmif> sacarlson: yes, but I'm in the older kernel now.
[17:18] <locsmif> sacarlson: I had to manually load r8169, since I had blacklisted it, since r8169 had caused problems with my RTL chipset before: I had to compile r8168 every time.
[17:19] <locsmif> r8169 however, failed to compile for the new kernel I had installed.
[17:19] <locsmif> err
[17:19] <locsmif> r8168. Correction.
[17:19] <locsmif> However, r8169 normally gives a workable connection for a while, so I loaded that with modprobe
[17:19] <gear4> pepee, for what ?
[17:20] <locsmif> eth0 appeared, and I attempted to configure it with dhclient as root.
[17:20] <locsmif> I ran strace dhclient -v eth0 and found that dhclient was obstructed from creating a socket
[17:20] <locsmif> eth0 seemed to have an ipv6 address but not ipv4
[17:20] <locsmif> That's about it.
[17:20] <gear4> Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files
[17:21] <locsmif> The reason I need a new kernel is the random USB 3 harddisk resets which unmount root.
[17:21] <sacarlson> locsmif: well I guess move back to the older kernel then
[17:21] <locsmif> sacarlson: that's what I'm on now..
[17:21] <locsmif> sacarlson: that's not really an option either, given its random USB 3 HDD disconnects.
[17:22] <sacarlson> locsmif: maybe it's slower but you might be able to force usb3 to usb2 mode
[17:22] <locsmif> (Which are known at Launchpad, and supposedly a "fix" is out, which I was trying to get by updating my kernel)
[17:22] <locsmif> sacarlson: hmmm
[17:22] <locsmif> sacarlson: I could just connect it to an USB 2 port if I wanted that
[17:23] <locsmif> It's an USB 3 harddisk, I bought it for that purpose
[17:23] <Whitebird> Hello can someone help me with a simple command?
[17:23] <sacarlson> locsmif: I've run some usb wifi device that needed to run at usb 1 speeds to be stable with some added command line
[17:23] <gear4> Whitebird, command ?
[17:23] <Whitebird> I have to use the command "find" to list all directories of the system
[17:24] <Whitebird> and redirect the directories to "directories.txt
[17:24] <Whitebird> and errors to "errors.txt"
[17:25] <gear4> eh
[17:25] <gear4> i don't understand
[17:25] <Whitebird> what do you not understand?
[17:26] <satyanash> sacarlson, it seems outdated.. /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf does nto exist..
[17:26] <mcb_> Whitebird: find -type c > dir.txt 2> erro.txt
[17:26] <gear4> ya
[17:26] <sacarlson> satyanash: bummer
[17:26] <mcb_> Whitebird: find -type c PATH_TO_SEARCH > dir.txt 2> erro.txt
[17:27] <mcb_> Whitebird: That should do what you want.
[17:27] <Whitebird> thansk a ton mcb_!
[17:27] <Whitebird> testing it now
[17:27] <Tide> Does anyone recommend any blogs related to linux?
[17:27] <TheBeast> I'm having issues with an areca sata controller that's not supported in 10.04 2.6.32-39 (default lucid kernel). So far I've modified the initrd image and manually insmoded the arcmsr.ko (updated version) so the installation process runs smoothly. I'm wondering if there's any other kernel or an alternate PPA that provides 10.04 compatible kernels with updated drivers
[17:28] <Whitebird> how do I easily type root as path to search? like ~ is for the home folder
[17:28] <mcb_> Whitebird: just put /
[17:28] <satyanash> sacarlson, I think the new location is /etc/init/gdm.conf
[17:28] <Whitebird> thanks
[17:28] <mcb_> Whitebird: find -type c / > dir.txt 2> erro.txt
[17:29] <mcb_> Whitebird: It will search in all your system. It may take a long time.....
[17:29] <Whitebird> hmmm it ends instantly

[17:31] <Whitebird> thanks mcb_ that works
[17:31] <mcb_> Whitebird: You are welcome!

[17:32] <pepee> plln, as root, service lightdm stop ( or gdm, kdm, ... ) then startx
[17:32] <meet> any delay function for c++ in ubuntu
[17:32] <meet> any delay function for c++ in ubuntu? or how to include dos.h?
[17:32] <zykotick9> pepee: why? would you suggest such a thing?
[17:32] <mcb_> sacarlson: no, but you can always do "sudo passwd root" type your password and then put a password for the root user. After that you can log in as root.
[17:32] <AdvoWork> im trying to copy files from a server (via naut...) to a folder on my desktop, but it keeps saying: No Data available, or permission denied etc etc, any ideas why please? i can do it on another client machine

[17:33] <sacarlson> mcb_: very true
[17:33] <pepee> zykotick9, he wants that, i help him... :)
[17:33] <zykotick9> pepee: if they wanted to kill their neighbour would you help with that to?
[17:33] <pepee> mcb_, or just run sudo -i
[17:33] <sacarlson> mcb_: I just said not by default
[17:33] <plln> it s still restricted
[17:34] <plln> no root access on
[17:34] <nmvictor> Hi, Im on a live CD. I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.10 and the installer just crashed on me, at "Configuring target system". Any community concerns to help resolve this? i'd greatly appreciate.
[17:34] <pepee> zykotick9, well, I can give some tips, but nothing more
[17:34] <sacarlson> plln: the admin user with sudo access can do all things root
[17:34] <pepee> (just joking)
[17:35] <plln> i dont need admin rights i know sudo su -i
[17:35] <plln> i want to open root access to window system
[17:35] <mcb_> plln: Is it by ssh, from a remote machine? You have to configure /etc/ssh/sshd_config. But this is not recomended at all!!!!
[17:35] <plln> it local macine
[17:35] <sacarlson> plln:  you can run sudo nautilus; or any other window app as root
[17:36] <plln> but i want to because i need to work with always root :)
[17:36]  * sipior just shakes his head

[17:38] <plln> sacarlson: this is my problem not yours :)
[17:38] <bazhang> plln, sudo -i for a root shell
[17:38] <bazhang> plln, and we dont support it, so please stop asking

[17:39] <pepee> sacarlson, sure? http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/12/09/2215253/malware-found-hidden-in-screensaver-on-gnome-look
[17:39] <sacarlson> plln: you were already provide the method as you wanted to do it, you just weren't listening,  others just suggested it was a bad idea
[17:39] <CacheMoney> I'm still a little unclear how PPA's work.  If I install this  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/firefox-aurora  will it overwrite my current version of Firefox?
[17:39] <nmvictor> where is the community help, ubuntu's installer just crashed on someone after erasing my initial system and no one here gives a sh*t, Criously?
[17:40] <pepee> cacg
[17:40] <pepee> CacheMoney, it will update your ffox version
[17:40] <pepee> * apt will do it
[17:41] <zoggnoff> awesome. I'm on irssi on my Android phone
[17:41] <zykotick9> CacheMoney: yes, the package manager will take the highest available version of firefox (from repo, or in your case a PPA) - you won't have 2 firefoxs installed
[17:41] <mcb_> nmvictor:  Did it report any erros when it crashed?
[17:42] <CacheMoney> zykotick9:  ok..  Is there any downside/risk in using this 'Aurora channel' of Firefox?
[17:42] <mcb_> nmvictor: At what stage of the installation it crashed?
[17:42] <nmvictor> mcb_, thanks. None, just an empty text area on a dialog window with advice on how i can file a bug report.
[17:42] <passstab> i run nightly
[17:43] <zykotick9> CacheMoney: any PPA has a potential downside/risk... it's all up to you.  I prefer stable to cutting edge myself.
[17:43] <nmvictor> mcb_, while Configuring target system. way after copying files.
[17:43] <passstab> and it's surprisingly stable
[17:43] <CacheMoney> zykotick9:  I prefer stable right now too.  I'm pretty new to Linux and don't feel confident debugging anything.  I'll play it safe for now
[17:44] <pepee> nmvictor, tried instlalling grub and checking if that systen works?
[17:44] <zykotick9> passstab: lol, something that is "nightly" cannot be "stable" in the 2 different definitions it's used in gnu/linux.
[17:44] <pepee> *system
[17:44] <mcb_> What version your are installing? And Configuring target system? I cant recall what part of the instalation is it........
[17:44] <nmvictor> pepee, ok
[17:44] <passstab> yes but it has less issues then i would expect
[17:45] <nmvictor> pepee, so I guess i will have to chroot into the target system, right?
[17:45] <Ca11um> Does Ubuntu not come with a SSH client for executing commands?
[17:45] <meet> can i ask a c  c++ related query here? was getting some xinitthread error while running a simple moving circle program. what could be the problem?
[17:45] <Ca11um> I've tried Connect to server... with SSH, but it just opens a file browser
[17:45] <pepee> nmvictor, you don't even need to install grub, you can run some bootable utility and check if it boots
[17:45] <CacheMoney> zykotick9:  Just to make sure I understand how I would install it though, would I do the following:  http://pastie.org/3595119  ?
[17:45] <pepee> nmvictor, from there, you can repair ubuntu
[17:46] <sipior> meet: not really on topic for the channel. you might try ##C++
[17:46] <zykotick9> CacheMoney: looks good :)  but i haven't tried.
[17:46] <sacarlson> Ca11um: no I don't think ssh is installed as default but it's in the repository
[17:47] <nmvictor> pepee, i dont understand the latter advice, the former seemed straight forward. so which bootable utilities do i need?
[17:47] <denysonique__> How to determine whether a Ruby library will install for Ruby 1.8 or Ruby 1.9
[17:47] <CacheMoney> zykotick9:  ok thanks.  Just trying to make sure I understand how to work with PPA's.  Thanks..
[17:47] <zykotick9> !ppa-purge > CacheMoney this might come in handy later ;)
[17:47] <pepee> nmvictor, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[17:47] <nmvictor> pepee, to run?
[17:47] <pepee> nmvictor, BUT if the system is severely broken, I would recommend reinstalling
[17:48] <sipior> Ca11um: the package you want is "openssh-client" in case it's not installed for some reason. try "ssh <hostname>" from a terminal.
[17:48] <pepee> nmvictor, you will need to check if dpkg works
[17:48] <nmvictor> how? pepee
[17:49] <CacheMoney> zykotick9:  I run $ ppa-purge: ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora  to remove the recent install and revert back to stable version, correct?
[17:50] <zykotick9> CacheMoney: that i'm not 100% sure on!  i've never used ppa-purge in my life.
[17:50] <bazhang> !ppa-purge
[17:50] <nmvictor> peppe, ok. just read about supergrubdisk, Could we just go with chroot?
[17:50] <CacheMoney> zykotick9:  haha.  Thanks for the tip though, I'm sure I can find something on Google.
[17:50] <bazhang> CacheMoney, see above

[17:50] <Escherial> what are these held broken packages synaptic keeps complaining about every time i try to install the gimp?
[17:51] <Escherial> also, is there a release of the gimp 2.7 for ubuntu 11.10, or are we still on 2.6?
[17:51] <zykotick9> bazhang: i'd PM's CacheMoney !ppa-purge a few lines above your public one ;)
[17:51] <Escherial> (i have a feeling i have a development source for the gimp, as i'm seeing it in my package manager)
[17:51] <Ca11um> Thanks, sipior.
[17:51] <bazhang> zykotick9, ok nice, thanks
[17:51] <pepee> nmvictor, by using it.
[17:52] <pepee> nmvictor, if dpkg is working fine, and all programs run fine too, then it's all ok
[17:52] <bazhang> Escherial, no, it's 2.6.12
[17:52] <Escherial> bazhang: strange, i just checked my /etc/apt/sources.list and there's nothing in there that looks non-official
[17:52] <Escherial> is there some other place that synaptic reads sources from?
[17:53] <bazhang> Escherial, not sure what you mean; the 12.04 version is what I am referring to
[17:53] <Escherial> bazhang: ubuntu 12.04 you mean? i'm still on 11.10 afaik
[17:53] <bazhang> sources.list.d is another location however
[17:53] <sacarlson> Escherial: maybe just forgot to sudo apt-get update; before attempted install or app upgrade?
[17:53] <pepee> nmvictor, do you understand? have you used ubuntu before?
[17:54] <Escherial> sacarlson: just did a sudo apt-get update from the command line a few minutes ago, so i assume that's in order
[17:55] <Escherial> aha, i do have some third-party sources for the gimp in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[17:55] <nmvictor> pepee: Its my 4th year with ubuntu.
[17:56] <pepee> nmvictor, ahh ok
[17:56] <Escherial> if i just go ahead and delete them, should my package manager stop giving me errors about broken and held broken packages?
[17:56] <nmvictor> pepee: I am on my chroot env, i guess i need to grub-insall /dev/sda, right
[17:57] <RyuGuns> How do I change my password in ubuntu when it says it's too "weak"? I don't care if some software says my password choice is too weak, and I think it's annoying that it forces me not to change it rather than just suggesting.
[17:57] <sacarlson> Escherial: I guess purge might be in order
[17:57] <pepee> nmvictor, yep. http://linuxandfriends.com/2011/11/12/how-to-reinstall-grub2-chroot-into-a-linux-partition/

[17:58] <guestnumber1221> Any idea how to change the global sans-serif font in Ubuntu Natty to something like Helvetica?
[17:58] <bluefrog> Ca11um, /etc/skel

[17:59] <jussi> my phone is mounted. How do I know which /dev/sdX it is?
[17:59] <Ca11um> bluefrog, doesn't that only apply when created?
[17:59] <Escherial> supposedly it's gone, but i'm still seeing those third-party sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d (e.g. "matthaeus123-mrw-gimp-svn-natty.list")
[17:59] <Ca11um> I want it so at any time I can add/remove/edit things
[17:59] <pepee> nmvictor, "guru" haha
[17:59] <bluefrog> Ca11um, yes
[17:59] <pepee> nmvictor, well, I suppose...
[18:00] <sacarlson> jussi: it might be the one mounted in /media folder
[18:00] <Escherial> sacarlson: apologies for roping you into this; feel free to ignore if you're busy/ill-disposed
[18:00] <jussi> sacarlson: yes, its in there, but Im trying to find out whch device it is
[18:00] <jussi> (in /dev)
[18:00] <nmvictor> pepee: My million dolla concern, does "Configuring target system" come after creating users and al that comes with it? I dont want to boot to i system that doesnt even know i exist.
[18:01] <bluefrog> Ca11um, then you must script.
[18:01] <pepee> nmvictor, I don't know :/
[18:02] <jeggy> Hey, i am using ubuntu 12.04 beta 64bit, and i have a problem with the wireless connection, how do i fill out a bug report ? i don't know what to put it under. "ubuntu-bug wireless-network" or something like that?
[18:02] <nmvictor> pepee: never mind, i confirmed that.Thanks for your concern. See you on the other side, or this one.
[18:02] <bazhang> jeggy, #ubuntu+1 for that
[18:02] <sacarlson> Escherial: now that the gimp is purged I assume you can remove that from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:02] <pepee> nmvictor, you can run dpkg --configure --pending to check if there are packages pending for configuration
[18:02] <jeggy> alright, thanks  ;)
[18:03] <Escherial> sacarlson: well, it was never in my /etc/apt/sources.list, but it was in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (not sure if that's approximately the same thing)
[18:03] <LjL> jussi, won't "sudo blkid" let you guess?
[18:03] <Escherial> in any case, i moved them out of there into /etc/apt/sources.list.BACKUP/ just in acse
[18:04] <sacarlson> Escherial: I guess it is much the same
[18:04] <pepee> nmvictor, and dpkg-reconfigure -a if you want to reconfigure all packages... it will take some time :)
[18:04] <Escherial> *case, even :\ and yes, gimp 2.7.5 is gone and with it the broken packages. i'm kind of vexed by this, though, since i'd rather like 2.7.5
[18:04] <sacarlson> Escherial: maybe the one you find in the ubuntu ppa might be more stable
[18:04] <mcb_> jussi: do a $ ls -lah /dev/disk/by-uuid the one that has an ID like 0000-0000, four numbers-four numbers should be it, and it will show to what sd? it is link to.
[18:05] <Escherial> i'd settle for gimpshop or gimphoto, though
[18:05] <Escherial> sacarlson: most likely, yes; thanks for the help
[18:05] <jussi> Ive got it, thanks
[18:06] <nmvictor> pepee: ha, that was cool. Alls fine, except for my flashplugin-downloader which was pending installation in my former system. This is actually a remastered copy I was reinstalling,FUI.
[18:06] <mcb_> jussi: just to register.... $ ls -lah by-label is much better.
[18:06] <kurtcocaine> how do i install awesome window manager on ubuntu? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=awesome this says it is in the software manager from what i understand

[18:06] <lilVaratep> Does anyone know how to change the status bar to the date/time in DWM?
[18:07] <trism> kurtcocaine: sudo apt-get install awesome; then you should be able to select it on the login screen
[18:07] <pepee> kurtcocaine, aptitude install awesome
[18:08] <kurtcocaine> trism: thanks
[18:09] <dragonkeeper> hey is there any apps i can use to listen to a mic over internet  (without ack from the computer sending the stream  ) ?
[18:10] <zykotick9> kurtcocaine: awesome is the most difficult WM to use and customize i've ever played with.  but it's really rewarding once you, figure it out.
[18:11] <sacarlson> dragonkeeper: without the computer sending the stream?  skype?
[18:11] <cassv> Awesome OS, looking forward to 12.04
[18:11] <zykotick9> kurtcocaine: big tip, if rc.lua is broken in anyway you lose all your settings - ALWAYS have backups available.
[18:12] <sacarlson> dragonkeeper: you can record it local and receive the sound.wav over internet later if that's what you mean
[18:12] <dragonkeeper> sacarlson  no i mean  the computer sending the stream has noone there  but has a mic attached . is it possible to send a command to it so i can listen on that device from anywhere ?
[18:12] <Ca11um> How resource intensive is Flash player?
[18:12] <Ca11um> I'm playing a game via Wine, and when playing YouTube in the background I get like 7 fps
[18:12] <Ca11um> When it finishes, I get like 30
[18:13] <zykotick9> dragonkeeper: espeak can be fun if you are sshed in ;)  no idea on trying to stream the mic though - good luck
[18:13] <sacarlson> dragonkeeper: I'm lost ,  the computer has a mic and it has internet,  so why wouldn't you be able to record and stream over internet?
[18:14] <AllanLinux> hi all
[18:14] <AllanLinux> Can anyone help me? I have a file with 21 separate accounts as follows in each line: Evangelist Adriano da Silva; adrevans@gmail.com I'd like to delete all lines which contain before; (semicolon) is possible?!
[18:15] <dragonkeeper> sacarlson  ok its a unmanned station . it has a internet connection , it has a mic attached.    now i want to be able to open up a terminal/program to listen to that mic live  from a different computer
[18:15] <nitinab> AllanLinux: so u just want the email addresses right ?
[18:16] <mcb_> AllanLinux: If I get it right, in that file of yours you have some lines if two columns separated by ; and you have some line that have just one column if no ;? If is it you do $ grep -v ; FILE > NEW_FILE
[18:16] <Andrew_Lee> join #hbg
[18:16] <Escherial> ok, now that we're back to a working version of gimp, is there something like the gimp that includes the much-touted "single window mode" of 2.8?
[18:16] <AllanLinux> yes, only email addresses
[18:16] <mcb_> Andrew_Lee: do $/join #Channel.....
[18:17] <Escherial> i know there's a 2.7.5 dev snapshot, but it seems unstable on my machine to the point of being unusable
[18:17] <Escherial> not to mention throwing my package manager into a panic about held broken packages
[18:17] <mcb_> Allanlinux: By every line has the semi colom? if so do $awk -F ';' '{prnt$2}' FILE > NEW_FILE
[18:18] <sacarlson> dragonkeeper: to start you would need to have ssh server setup on your remote side to enable control, then maybe something like this http://www.adriancoroian.com/technical-stream-audio-on-the-web-with-pulseaudio-in-ubuntu-10-10/
[18:18] <mcb_> Allanlinux: Typos..... if every line has the semi colom? if so do $awk -F ';' '{print$2}' FILE > NEW_FILE
[18:19] <AllanLinux> I'll test the two commands, one time!
[18:19] <dragonkeeper> sacarlson  yes ssh is active + ok ill check it out thanks
[18:22] <Ca11um> Is Steam supported on Ubuntu?
[18:22] <soreau> Ca11um: Not officially but it works in wine
[18:22] <sacarlson> dragonkeeper: you could also bring up vnc on the remote site and bring up skype or equivilant then you could also talk back if your speakers were pluged in
[18:22] <AllanLinux> Niceeeeeeeeeeeee mcb_
[18:23] <mcb_> AllanLinux: You are welcome.
[18:23] <nitinab> Ca11um: u can work it under wine ... google it .. you will get a couple of tutorials
[18:23] <AllanLinux> mcb_ and nitinab very very thx
[18:23] <amt0101> Hello, is there a problem with the update servers?

[18:30] <dagerik> Pessimist: I did that one, just make sure to remove everythin that has to do eith catalyst and the radeon will be used by default.
[18:30] <Pessimist> Isn't 2d acceleration better?
[18:31] <zeleboba1>  I Have VDS hosting with Debian, so my script  index.php didn't work , but redirected to advertising banner system of hosting
[18:31] <no_gravity> Hello! In ubuntu with the default gnome install, can I map my own key-bindings? For example, I would like to map the WINDOWS-KEY+J to down, so I can scroll down on websites by this key-combo.

[18:33] <oCean> zeleboba1: not here. You're also asking in #debian, but you might explain your actual question there (not here!)
[18:34] <sacarlson> dragonkeeper: just listen?  at least with vnc you could also see a miror image of the screen that they see in almost real time.
[18:35] <Pessimist> dagerik, how did you do that?
[18:35] <dragonkeeper> sacarlson  i fault of that . but doesnt that show up on screen that someone is watching ?

[18:40] <Arizona> how do i run firefox as root
[18:41] <dragonkeeper> whats the GDM config manager program called ?
[18:41] <ratcheer> Arizona: If firefox is the executable name, you would run "gksu firefox"
[18:41] <sacarlson> Arizona: not sure why you would ever want to run firefox as root
[18:42] <ratcheer> I agree with sacarlson
[18:42] <sacarlson> ratcheer: Arizona: but I'm sure they must have there reasons

[18:46] <drPoO> is there a command for telling if I have my PCI-E slot occupied?
[18:47] <mcb_> drPoO: $lspci will list all PCI hardware.
[18:47] <Arizona> ratcheer yup didnt work
[18:47] <KaKila> The guide in ubuntu sadi si not good to use ~/.profile... then what ot use if ~/.pam_env* is not working?
[18:47] <Escherial> hey, so i'm trying to install the gimp 2.7.5 on ubuntu 11.10, following these instructions: http://antonis.se/?p=140
[18:47] <drPoO> mcb_ thanks
[18:47] <Escherial> i get the following result when i try to do that last command: http://dpaste.org/Nrnwx/
[18:48] <drPoO> mcb_, do you know of a way of telling how many RAM chips there are?
[18:48] <Escherial> any idea what the problem might be? :\
[18:49] <mcb_> drPoO: I will have to like that one. I cant recall right now......
[18:50] <oCean> Escherial: PPA's are 3rd party repositories and not supported. It seems there is an dependency issue
[18:50] <soaringsky> !ppa | Escherial

[18:55] <rabbi1> i have an html file and how can make it visible through internet ? how can i use ip address and then file://home/xxx/yyy.html to make it accessible to others ?
[18:55] <trasp> oCean, worked like a charm! Thanks!
[18:55] <zykotick9> ozzloy: oracle changed the java distrobution license, see "/msg ubottu java" for details
[18:55] <oCean> !java | ozzloy sun/oracle java is no longer available in the repositories due to licensing issues
[18:56] <ozzloy> zykotick9, no longer available *at* *all*?
[18:56] <ozzloy> not even the old ones?
[18:56] <oCean> ozzloy: not through repositories
[18:56] <rabbi1> oCean: Oracle taking Sun is my top worst news .... :(
[18:56] <zykotick9> ozzloy: the old ones have serious security issues
[18:56] <ozzloy> from before?  what happened to gpl?
[18:57] <oCean> ozzloy: not gpl etc, long story
[18:57] <zykotick9> ozzloy: use openjava or drop java
[18:57] <ozzloy> i thought this stuff was gpl so if oracle dicked around like that someone could fork it and ... well bummer
[18:58] <ozzloy> wait, so then what part of it _is_ gpl?  what was all that "java is gpl now!" stuff i heard?
[18:58] <mcb_1> drPoO: $ lshw -C memory Will get the memory banks that are in use.
[18:58] <zykotick9> ozzloy: openjava / icedtea can to quite a bit of web based stuff (the basics anyway)
[18:58] <ozzloy> i see
[18:58] <oCean> ozzloy: sure, java is available through the repositories. It's called openjdk, oracle's version is not available
[18:59] <spaceneedle> I notice that when when you press the  house lens on the dash the dash gets darker--never knew you could do that.
[18:59] <drPoO> mcb_1, so when it reads "UNCLAIMED" that means empty?
[18:59] <mcb_1> I think so, but in my machine I have all two bank used......
[19:02] <dragonkeeper> how do i change from GDM to lightdm  (what config file do i change)
[19:03] <soaringsky> dragonkeeper: run "sudo apt-get install lightdm"
[19:04] <dragonkeeper> soaringsky its already installed.  im just wonder what config file i change to make it load on boot
[19:05] <soaringsky> dragonkeeper: run "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm"
[19:05] <Zeusking19> Hello, Zeusking19 here to help :)
[19:06] <danielc> Hi! Anyone know how to configure apt to not download the Translation files with the translations of the descriptions of the packages? I tryed to add the line `Acquire::Languages { "none"; };` to my /etc/apt.conf; but it is not enough.
[19:07] <dragonkeeper> soaringsky nope was easier to just change /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[19:07] <Zeusking19> I am not an expert or very knowledgeable about apt. Unfortunately, this means I cannot help.
[19:07] <_iniKamoze_> hi...im very weak in regex expression. Trying to match the pattern number space number e.g (5 5) and this "[+\\d]\\s[+\\d]" is not working...is there an obvious rookie mistake im making ?
[19:07] <oCean> Zeusking19: no need to inform us about that..
[19:07] <soaringsky> dragonkeeper: fixed then?
[19:07] <dragonkeeper> yup
[19:08] <Zeusking19> oCean: I was only being friendly
[19:09] <oCean> Zeusking19: I understand, but in a busy channel like this, keep chit chat to an absolute minimum.

[19:13] <here4thegear> How do I change where my taksbar is located? I'd rather it be on the bottom of the screen
[19:13] <KaKila> any help regarding .pam_environment? thx
[19:13] <Zeusking19> here4thegear: I dont believe it is possible. Sorry :(
[19:14] <drPoO> can anybody point me towards a good tutorial on creating RAIDs using gdisk?
[19:14] <Zeusking19> drPoO: Hang on a sec.
[19:15] <angeldeathx> hello anyone can help me as I install sound drives backtrack5 R2?
[19:15] <kurtcocaine> nobody runs backtrack with sound
[19:15] <kurtcocaine> its meant to be used for testing
[19:15] <here4thegear> Zeusking19: I'm not sure if "taskbar" is the right term. It's the thing on the left that autohides. The problem I'm having is that I'm using Ubuntu as a guest in virtual box and it's on the right screen in my setup. When I need to get to it, I have to minimize any windows because I can't stall on the left edge to get it to pop up without moving over to my host
[19:16] <Zeusking19> drPoO: I couldnt find anything along those exact lines, but this could be relevant: http://blog.al4.co.nz/2010/05/configuring-the-raid-array/
[19:16] <here4thegear> doesn't R2 mean it's a release candidate and not an actual release?
[19:16] <zenith> hello i need help, grub doesn't detect my windows, plus gparted live cd says that it is corrupt (the windows partition) and cannot fix it
[19:17] <here4thegear> I expect anything with R# to be buggy and I tend not to use them... Just get the Backtrack 5... it works great (I use it)
[19:18] <Vik> Hey everyone
[19:18] <Vik> this is my first time ever on IRC
[19:18] <here4thegear> welcome to the dark side
[19:18] <here4thegear> The land of the missfit toys ;-)
[19:19] <Vik> i m here to discuss the stuff related ubuntu as guest with host windows 7 for virtualbox
[19:19] <zenith> please any help with the grub and the corrupt partition
[19:19] <zenith> ?
[19:19] <Zeusking19> Vik: That is what were all here for.
[19:20] <Zeusking19> Zenith, I will assist you.
[19:20] <soaringsky> !grub | zenith
[19:21] <zenith> Zeusking19, yes please, thank you, some people on here just give me the bot and i know this requires further study
[19:21] <DJ> greetings
[19:21] <here4thegear> Yeah, I had a grub screw up my mbr, had to start loading using rescue cd
[19:21] <Zeusking19> Please chat in the private chat, so I dont mess up the main chat room.
[19:22] <zenith> Zeusking19, who?
[19:22] <oCean> Zeusking19, it is preferred to provide support in the channel, so others can follow and help/correct you if necessary.
[19:23] <ironhalik> Is there any software method to bypass BIOS fan control?
[19:24] <ironhalik> BIOS and i8kutils fight over fan control, causing it to cycle between different settings
[19:24] <ironhalik> I can disable the fan control in BIOS, in hidden menu that gets reset at system reboot
[19:30] <uhert_> hi, why is "wget -m -k -K --no-parent -e robots=off en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU" downloading all english wikibooks instead of just that one about qemu??
[19:32] <Harald__> Good evening. Anybody out there who can help with a networking problem on 11.10 server (64bit)?
[19:32] <oCean> Harald__: best is to just state your question (detailed) and then see if anyone can help you
[19:32] <Harald__> great idea :)
[19:33] <Harald__> ok, I have everthing up'n running. During install, I only had the built-in ethernet card
[19:33] <Harald__> then I added a USB WLAN dongle
[19:33] <Harald__> lsusb found it and wpa-supplicant all works dandy
[19:34] <Harald__> however, when I now reboot witht he cable disconnected, I can't access the system
[19:34] <Harald__> only when I conect the cable does the WLAN kick in
[19:34] <Harald__> I have changed the order of the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, but that had no effect
[19:34] <megalomix> hello everybody
[19:35] <megalomix> i just installed  sapphire HD 4870 GDDR5 512MB i'm using Ubuntu, what can i do to install the drivers to have the befenif of the graphics card?
[19:36] <kfizz> Does anyone know of a .deb for build-essential that I could put on a usb drive and install on an Ubuntu computer. I need build-essential to compile a new e1000e for my NIC that isn't recognized by Ubuntu.

[19:38] <Arizona> oh wow
[19:38] <xsl> does anyone here knows how to setup pound reverse proxy to pass the client ip from a request? all i see on my nginx logs is requests from 127.0.0.1
[19:38] <Arizona> disregard that link
[19:39] <oCean> xsl: maybe try #nginx channel
[19:40] <Harald__> oCean, was my question detailed enough?
[19:40] <escott> megalomix, use jockey
[19:40] <oCean> Harald__: I think it is. Try to type it all in one single line, so you can repeat it in say 10 or 15 minutes, maybe then someone is available/able to help you
[19:40] <megalomix> escott, i'm installing fglrx
[19:41] <megalomix> is this not good ?
[19:41] <jerel> I'm needing to code a custom (quite basic) app to make outgoing voip calls to landlines/mobiles. I found sipsimple which is an extensive Python library but just wanted to ask if there was a better solution (ie shortcut).
[19:42] <Zeusking19> jerel: This is not really the best place to ask. Maybe you could try somewhere else.
[19:43] <Harald__> ok - the question as a one-liner: what do I need to do to make my USB WLAN-dongle "listen" at boot-up? currently it only becomes active if I connect the ethernet cable to eth0. I'm running 11.10 Server 64bit...
[19:44] <JoeK> you dont
[19:45] <jerel> Zeusking19: hmm ok. I've racked my brain over where "somewhere else" could be. I thought perhaps Ekiga, Empathy, etc may provide a way to do what I need
[19:45] <dariebi> hello all, does somebody knew a software for linux like dreamweaver for windoof
[19:46] <Zeusking19> jerel: I have no knowledge over the subject. Sorry :(
[19:46] <jerel> sure np :)
[19:46] <wieso> I have a strange problem: I have a nvidia ION GPU in an Asus net book. After the login into my account, all AVI movies are dark (all players). The same with cheese: dark webcam image. Now: Changing to another user on the same computer and same GPU (logout, login) solves this problem: I can see AVI movie with all players and cheese does also work. Q: Is there any config file in the home directory which may hamper displaying videos?
[19:46] <KaKila> how to check if ~/pam_environment is read?
[19:46] <mihir> Anyone tried out the 12.04 Beta
[19:46] <mihir> ?
[19:47] <escott> wieso, it would depend on what application you were using to play the vid3eo
[19:47] <pepee> mihir, lots of people in #ubuntu+1
[19:47] <mihir> @pepee How is it compared to the 10.04?
[19:48] <wieso> Escherial: totem, VLC and others <= same problem
[19:48] <mihir> And what DE does does it use?
[19:48] <pepee> mihir, no idea
[19:48] <wieso> escott: totem, VLC and others <= same problem
[19:48] <escott> wieso, then it sounds like an issue with the xv extension
[19:48] <wieso> xv extension?
[19:48] <escott> wieso, not sure why that would be user specific though
[19:48] <mihir> Ok So I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Remastered with Xubuntu Desktop Environment and also alternatively with XFCE 4.8 Unmodified
[19:49] <escott> wieso, maybe you have accelerated desktop enabled and the other users dont?
[19:49] <wieso> escott: believe me, I tried a couple of times ...
[19:49] <dariebi> can somebody tell me a software for linux to create easly html. i only knew dreamweaver for windows :-(
[19:49] <wieso> escott: I have reset already compiz
[19:49] <Pici> !html | dariebi
[19:49] <escott> wieso, and are the other users using compiz?
[19:49] <wieso> escott: yes, they do
[19:50] <dariebi> @ubottu thank you very much
[19:50] <wieso> escott: is there any config file from nvidia stored in the home dir?
[19:50] <escott> wieso, if you have mplayer installed I would test if it is an xv issue by trying to play the video with different options mplayer -vo x11 video.avi and mplayer -vo xv video.avi
[19:50] <antaras> hi there !!!
[19:51] <wieso> escott: I will try mom

[19:51] <Aikar> looking for an app to let me open multiple terminals at once, and everything i type goes to every terminal -- ive seen this on mac
[19:52] <wieso> escott:  mplayer -vo x11 video.avi <= displays video !!!!
[19:52] <escott> Aikar, probably some advanced feature of screen
[19:52] <wieso> escott: so now wot ?
[19:52] <escott> wieso, try it with -vo xv it will probably be black
[19:52] <antaras> i dont know what is the adb .. but i google it to find ..  thanx anyway :)
[19:53] <wieso> mom
[19:53] <wieso> escott: u r right, it is black
[19:53] <escott> antaras, its just a very vague question you are asking. im not sure what you mean by it
[19:53] <wieso> hmmm
[19:54] <mosdef100200> Hi there just updated my iphone to latest software im running ubuntu 10.10 and now im getting a lock error anyone have any ideas as to what i might do?
[19:54] <escott> wieso, and if you disabled the accelerated video it would probably work. i know other nvidia people have come in with broken glx+xv systems
[19:54] <tom1mt> \join #modilabs
[19:54] <wieso> escott: I will try mom
[19:54] <antaras> escott,  i want to connect my android to share my files and i want to flash if i can from ubuntu :)
[19:55] <SunGlyph> Anyone know where I can find the config file to tweak colours in GRUB?
[19:55] <antaras> escott, flash new rom  :)
[19:55] <xangua> mosdef100200: downgrade with whatever iOS version worked with it or jalbreak it
[19:55] <mosdef100200> ..... tricky
[19:56] <mosdef100200> You jailbreaked phone before?
[19:56] <mosdef100200> Is it relatively simple to do?
[19:56] <uzumki991> hi
[19:56] <uzumki991> do help me
[19:56] <juboba> I need help with grub2
[19:57] <wieso> escott:  accelerated video <= where can I find this? Nvidia panel?
[19:57] <juboba> I changed the  TIME
[19:57] <juboba> I changed the  TIMEOUT to 1 in the menu
[19:57] <juboba> and the default entry was on memtest by mistake
[19:57] <uzumki991> juboba
[19:57] <juboba> how can I change it back?
[19:58] <escott> antaras, for phone mods and to access files on the system root you would need to use adb, for files in the user data section you can just treat it as a usb mass storage unless it is a new galaxy nexus ICS in which case it uses some weird protocol b/c they didn't put the host circuitry in the phone
[19:58] <uzumki991> hey guys please help wit backtrack
[19:58] <SunGlyph> juboba: There's a config file somewhere I was poking around in earlier, let me try and remmeber which one it was
[19:58] <Arizona> how can i update skype
[19:58] <Seidr> Heya - I'm having trouble getting my laptop (Atheros chipset) to connect to my WEP network. Key is correct an laptop connects on Windows 7..been through pages and pages on Google and various sites with no success..would here be the best place to get advice? (Ubuntu 10.04) Cheers
[19:58] <escott> wieso, no idea
[19:58] <xangua> !backtrack | uzumki991
[19:59] <antaras> escott, this i understant .. for flash new rom ??   what i can do  ??
[19:59] <A-Lusion> Ubuntu, what is the most up to date Ubuntu book / reference / textbook or guide I can find? It seems like many of the textbooks i read get outdated before I even finish them
[19:59] <SunGlyph> juboba: Sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[20:00] <SunGlyph> and then grub_timeout
[20:00] <juboba> SunGlyph, can I do that from a livecd?
[20:00] <A-Lusion> Is there a timeless linux book that every linux user should read?
[20:00] <SunGlyph> juboba: I'm not sure. I started yesterday, but I don't suppose it could hurt to try
[20:01] <wieso> escott: hmmm ... need to eat ... thanks a lot !!!
[20:01] <mcb_1> juboba: Yes you can edit /etc/default/grub using a liveCD. But be sure to edit the file that is in your HD.
[20:01] <juboba> yes
[20:01] <juboba> mcb_1, but I have to run update-grub
[20:02] <mcb_1> juboba: Why run update-grub?
[20:02] <mcb_1> juboba: I understand that you only changed the grub menu timeout......
[20:03] <frisx> How do I unlock the www folder so I can move a folder into it?
[20:03] <juboba> yes but grub2 needs to run update-grub
[20:03] <Seidr> frisx: I'm guessing you'd have to check the ownership of the www folder
[20:03] <frisx> I have tried chmod 777 www but that does not work
[20:04] <Seidr> hm :\
[20:04] <mcb_1> OK. Change the file first and then run update....
[20:04] <frisx> Seidr: how do I check ownership
[20:04] <Ca11um> How do you get Banshee Media Player to actually open a file?
[20:04] <uzumki991> s
[20:04] <Seidr> ls -alh will display group/user ownership
[20:04] <Ca11um> I've tried opening an audio file with it, and nothing happens
[20:05] <Seidr> you can change ownership with chown <user>:<group> www
[20:07] <frisx> Seidr: current owner is root root
[20:07] <Seidr> and I guess you're currently root?
[20:07] <mike> mike_c115238
[20:09] <frisx> Seidr: I am not sure how to check that. chown--- Operation not permitted
[20:09] <Seidr> type whoami - it will tell you the user you're currently logged in as
[20:09] <Seidr> sounds like you don't have permission to modify the folder..although if you couldn't chown you shouldn't of been able to chmod..I think
[20:09] <frisx> Seidr: I am not root at the moment.
[20:10] <Seidr> frisx: ok, to change the owner you'd have to be root..but I agree, 777 should of done the trick
[20:10] <dax> uzumki991: The floobots are bots, not humans. Please /join #backtrack-linux for Backtrack support.
[20:11] <frisx> Seidr: I do not know how to change myself to root.
[20:11] <Harald__> oCean, any news?
[20:11] <oCean> Harald__: feel free to repeat your question, unfortunately I'm not the one that can help you
[20:11] <Harald__> bummer
[20:11] <Seidr> if you're logged in as a user that can su, you can type 'sudo su', and provide your current accounts password
[20:12] <Seidr> that can sudo even
[20:12] <timjk> i have connected my lenovo thinkpad laptop running ubuntu 11.10 64 bit to a samsung external monitor. I can switch from laptop to monitor screen by pressing Fn+F7 once but from monitor back to laptop i have press it 5 times
[20:12] <timjk> any way to fix this ?
[20:14] <frisx> Seidr: sudo did the trick. Me so happy, thanks!

[20:15] <Lunar_Lander> hello
[20:15] <Lunar_Lander> just installed GParted from the software center and when I want to start it, it wants the passwort
[20:15] <Lunar_Lander> *password
[20:15] <Lunar_Lander> why?
[20:17] <_Marcus> Lunar_Lander: Because it does? Why not just put in your password?
[20:17] <Lunar_Lander> just wanted to ask
[20:17] <Lunar_Lander> so it needs root rights?
[20:17] <deus_> i cant seem to find debs after compiling a kernel, where should they be?
[20:17] <_Marcus> Lunar_Lander: Most likely. It will be editing parts of your drive that you normally can't access, so yes.
[20:18] <Lunar_Lander> OK thanks
[20:18] <Lunar_Lander> :)
[20:18] <darthness> Guys, i have a question: i have the latest version of ubuntu and my right upper (settings etc) menuś disappear after i click on them. but they stay when i hold my mouse button
[20:20] <here4thegear> darthness: are you using a virtual machine?
[20:20] <darthness> no here4thegear, this is my main pc
[20:21] <scientes> when will ubuntu package FENNEC?
[20:21] <pediciniaf> FENNEC ?

[20:21] <itaylor57> darthness, whatisthe output of lsb_release -sc

[20:22] <pediciniaf> ah
[20:22] <scientes> pediciniaf, mozilla only builds for i686, not 64-bit
[20:22] <darthness> itaylor57, oneiric

[20:22] <pediciniaf> i see
[20:23] <Gorkyman> is there a way to set one wallpaper to span across all 4 workspaces? :)
[20:23] <scientes> debian even does firefox better cause they seperate xulrunner into a shared library
[20:23] <scientes> which lowers ram usage, like if you use firefox+thunderbird
[20:23] <scientes> at the same time
[20:24] <darthness> ive tryed googling the problem, but didnt get that far
[20:25] <locsmif> New kernel recompile worked! :)

[20:50] <oCean> nancy--: is this an ubuntu related question? Just ask your real question then
[20:51] <nancy--> oCean,  how to ssh a vps? iam using ubuntu.
[20:51] <WilsonBradley> The input text bottom part in the channels are thin and I can't see what im typing.. (like this one)
[20:51] <_OskaR_ghost> @ kingfisher64 - yea i saw thatone but i think it was for sata.. im on IDE - no sata devices con.
[20:51] <oCean> nancy--: well, you need ssh-server running on the vps, then you should be able to run ssh from any client:   ssh username@ip
[20:51] <WilsonBradley> But in regular direct chats or the server tabs I see the bottom spacve
[20:52] <WilsonBradley> Does that make sense
[20:52] <WilsonBradley> ?

[20:53] <oCean> nancy--: I have no idea, never used amazon. But you have to install ssh-server on the VPS, if the VPS is not ubuntu, this channel cannot help you with that

[21:16] <dagerik> Can I specify that find should only go two folder deep when recursively searching folders?
[21:16] <johntron> worrow: sweet, i'm just waiting for things to stabilize on mbp 8.2
[21:16] <_OskaR_ghost> OerHeks yes i did but found that it is for SATA that fails ...
[21:16] <johntron> dual booting win7 & oneiric at home
[21:17] <OerHeks> _OskaR_ghost, Sata or IDE, does not really make a difference.

[21:19] <guntbert> worrow: please keep to ubuntu support - use #ubuntu-offtopic for all else
[21:20] <johntron> worrow: i've got the 16gb, but i do webdev, and not having to fire up a vm to do certain things would be nice. i'm more familiar with ubuntu
[21:20] <worrow> guntbert, I am on topic. we are discussing running ubuntu stuff on mac through the virtualization

[21:20] <worrow> johntash,  nice. Did you opt for the beta of 12.04?

[21:26] <_OskaR_ghost> and then try to mount..& boot ...
[21:27] <keri> i installed wine I want to get yahoo messenger. How does wine work?
[21:27] <_OskaR_ghost> is there some KEY i could hold down at poweron to get to a GRUB.. maby ?
[21:28] <pdq> keri, pidgin supports yahoo/googlechat/msn, why not use that native app?
[21:28] <vlt> keri: Maybe you have certain reasons to need Yahoo msgr, but I would go with the onboard tools Ubuntu ships with.
[21:28] <keri> i want to use my webcam and pidgin don't do that
[21:29] <vlt> keri: I doubt that something running in wine will.
[21:29] <WilsonBradley> Yahoo messenger? Blaaa... :-O
[21:29] <hydrox24> _OskaR_ghost: unfortunately there seems to be very little detail about it online, and I have never encountered the problem personally.
[21:29] <_OskaR_ghost> me too hydrox24
[21:29] <keri> what is onboard tools ubuntu ships
[21:29] <WilsonBradley> I saw a webcam plug in for Pidgin
[21:29] <OerHeks> _OskaR_ghost, yes, hold shift @ boot to enter the grubmenu
[21:30] <hydrox24> _OskaR_ghost: run: blkid
[21:30] <_OskaR_ghost> ok il retry that.. thx OerHeks
[21:30] <hydrox24> _OskaR_ghost: that will list recognized device UUIDs
[21:30] <keri> wilsonBradley how do i get plug for pidgin
[21:30] <_OskaR_ghost> like this "run: blkid"  or just "blkid" ?
[21:31] <hydrox24> _OskaR_ghost: just "blkid"
[21:31] <_OskaR_ghost> ok brb..
[21:32] <hydrox24> keri: what laptop do you have? full name please.
[21:32] <bastidrazor> hydrox24: _OskaR_ghost you need sudo with blkid: 'sudo blkid'
[21:32] <hydrox24> bastidrazor: he's working in ash (initramfs/busybox) I don't think it needs sudo
[21:32] <keri> dell inspiron 15
[21:32] <phil__> Hey All!
[21:33] <_OskaR_ghost> hydrox24 that lists as it should . ext4 and swapp  (two lines)
[21:33] <bastidrazor> hydrox24: i did not read up. you are correct.
[21:34] <sungsam> hi all!
[21:34] <_OskaR_ghost> holding shift at boot gives nada.. (ends in same initramfs..)
[21:34] <mylisto23> for some reason my installation isn't loading..
[21:35] <mylisto23> I had this problem yesterday and used the 10.04 disk and used the rescue mode to reinstall the grub boot loader
[21:35] <_OskaR_ghost> is there some way to check the ext4 that is the boot ...
[21:35] <keri> hydrox24: dell inspiron 15
[21:36] <sungsam> I have ubuntu 11.04 installed on pendrive and all of the sudden, when I want to start firefox, it says that firefox is already running, but there's no firefox process when I type "top" in the terminal. Any idea?
[21:36] <keri> i have no clue how to get your name to highlight
[21:36] <hydrox24> _OskaR_ghost: youll need to boot from a liveCD and repair the relevant partitions using fsck I think
[21:36] <hydrox24> keri: I am looking now, sorry.
[21:36] <mylisto23> my laptop had a hard shut down today (power ran out)...and when I try to reinstall the grub boot loader this time it doesn't work
[21:36] <mylisto23> what the heck can I do?
[21:36] <keri> ok ty
[21:37] <_OskaR_ghost> thx hydrox24 - il do that - and see .
[21:37] <hydrox24> sungsam: try this command "ps -U (username goes here) | grep firefox"
[21:37] <hydrox24> mylisto23: do you mean boot up or reinstall?
[21:38] <mylisto23> I reinstalled the boot loader
[21:38] <sungsam> hydrox24 it doesn't return anything...
[21:39] <TheMouldyMarsBar> Anyone having a problem?
[21:39] <mylisto23> hydrox24: how can I diagnose why my ubuntu intallation isn't loading?
[21:40] <kaspir> could somebody tell me how to get rid of a 2nd pannel behind the one for unity
[21:41] <sungsam> hydrox24: it doesn't return anything...
[21:43] <hydrox24> sungsam: just type "killall firefox" and then try, probably won't work. seem like you may need to report a firefox bug.
[21:43] <kaspir> somebody help me with a pannel issue plz
[21:44] <mylisto23> anyone?
[21:44] <soreau> kaspir: no one can help if you don't explain the issue
[21:44] <soreau> ! ask
[21:45] <mylisto23> how can I diagnose why my ubuntu intallation isn't loading?  I already fixed it once by reloading the grub bootloader yesterday...
[21:45] <sungsam> hydrox24: and it didn't. Unfortunately dmesg returns alot of ext2 bad entries...
[21:45] <kaspir> i have a 2 pannels running somehow. I can see the 2nd one through the 1st one. I want to know how to get rid of it
[21:46] <hydrox24> sungsam: looks like you need to boot a liveCD and run fsck :(
[21:46] <sungsam> hydrox24: could you please tell me, if there's a way to get my bookmarks, before I reinstall firefox?
[21:46] <hydrox24> kaspir: try logging out and logging in again.
[21:46] <zenith> how can i gwt kicked from this channel?
[21:46] <Fyodorovna> kaspir, run killall "panel name" in the terminal
[21:46] <sungsam> hydrox24: does it fix problems, or just detects it?
[21:46] <kaspir> I have. It's there everytime. It has the window commands like close and maximize
[21:46] <soreau> sungsam: bookmarks and other user data will probably not be erased since it exists in $HOME
[21:47] <zenith> lol who expelled me?
[21:47] <sungsam> is it the same with pendrive installation?
[21:47] <Fyodorovna> kaspir, might it help to know what it is do you think?
[21:47] <zenith> oh yeah, fast way to get kicked
[21:47] <zenith> i have linux mint
[21:47] <zenith> and it rocks
[21:47] <zenith> ubuntu is gonna die
[21:47] <soreau> sungsam: unless you use apt-get --purge
[21:47] <FloodBot1> zenith: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:47] <kaspir> I have no idea what it is. the window commands are there and two options but i cant read it
[21:47] <zenith> i tell you
[21:48] <zenith> linux mint rocks
[21:48] <sungsam> hydrox24: so after apt-get remove it will be kept?
[21:48] <zenith> kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick meeeeeee
[21:48] <dracnoc> sungsam: go into your .mozilla folder, find the default folder, and in there should be a bookmarks backup folder. pick the .json file with the newest date on the end of the filename. Copy that somewhere safe.
[21:48] <zenith> linux mit
[21:48] <zenith> debian
[21:48] <zenith> linux mint
[21:48] <zenith> caca
[21:48] <zenith> hola
[21:48] <sungsam> dracnoc good idea, ty
[21:49] <dracnoc> sungsam: yw
[21:50] <hydrox24> sungsam: I would backup your .mozilla directory
[21:50] <hydrox24> sungsam: that will contain your bookmarks, more specifically, in a file like: "/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/plsr5qoj.default/bookmarks.html"
[21:51] <calico> lmde is still buggy...
[21:51] <sungsam> thx!

[22:01] <bencahill> hey guys, can you recommend a youtube player (not youtube.com) that can stream (e.g. seek w/o caching)?
[22:01] <klimnan> hey does anyone here know if it is possible to create a FTP server on ubuntu that I can acess from anywhere?
[22:01] <totesmuhgoats> in windows the OS hit prnt scren on the keyboard for the whole screen, alt+prntscreen for the current window
[22:01] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, Do you have a wubi install?
[22:01] <totesmuhgoats> the image will be copied to the clipboard
[22:01] <soreau> nancy--: when you install a service such as apache, it automatically starts it immediately and every time you boot
[22:01] <mylisto23> fyodorovna: whats wubi...I forget?
[22:01] <klimnan> hey does anyone here know if it is possible to create a FTP server on ubuntu that I can acess from anywhere?
[22:01] <mylisto23> is that a windows boot loader?
[22:01] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, A ubuntu install from Windows.
[22:01] <totesmuhgoats> in linux you need a tool for it, i think every flavor of ubuntu ships with a screenshot utility
[22:02] <soreau> ! wubi | mylisto23
[22:02] <mylisto23> fyodorovna: nope..it was an install from a dvd
[22:02] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, run the bootscript the bot mentioned and pastebin the reults.txt.
[22:03] <mylisto23> what bootscript?
[22:03] <OerHeks> klimnan, use Samba
[22:03] <Fyodorovna> !bootinfo | mylisto23
[22:03] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, ^^^^
[22:03] <OerHeks> klimnan, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html
[22:04] <klimnan> OerHeks, Will Samba allow me to upload/download data to the FTP server from anywhere?
[22:04] <klimnan> OerHerks, like outside my LAN
[22:05] <nancy--> soreau,  is php and mysql also installed and act the same way?
[22:05] <zykotick9> klimnan: (i've already set you to /ignore so don't reply to me) but ssh/sftp makes a lot more sense then ftp.  and samba, don't get me started.
[22:05] <soreau> nancy--: If it's a service, it should already auto-run. Check the output of 'ps ax' or 'top'
[22:05] <OerHeks> klimnan, maybe vsftpd is a better idea https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[22:05] <MonkeyDust> klimnan  ftp does not go over samba
[22:07] <klimnan> OerHeks, MonkeyDust, how would I go about setting up a ssh/sftp that I could access from anywhere? Would vsftpd work for that?
[22:07] <MonkeyDust> !ftp| klimnan
[22:08] <MonkeyDust> hm
[22:08] <totesmuhgoats> OerHeks: openssh will do an sftp server
[22:08] <nancy--> how do i know my machines internet ip by command line?
[22:08] <totesmuhgoats> i think ubuntu automatically sets up ssh if you install openssh-server
[22:09] <tehnef> what totesmuhgoats says is true
[22:09] <MonkeyDust> nancy--  try curl ifconfig.me
[22:10] <tehnef> klimnan: sftp is basically just a shell around scp that behaves like ftp. scp is file copying over SSH.
[22:11] <emmanuel06160> any idea why fdisk -l would show correct disk size in 10.04 and incorrect (smaller) in 11.10? and why gparted would show an extra piece of disk on 10.04 that is not seen on 11.10?
[22:11] <klimnan> tehnef, MonkeyDust, okay - btw, can I create this sftp server on the desktop version of ubuntu? or will i need the server edition?
[22:12] <MonkeyDust> klimnan  try tasksel (task select)
[22:12] <Kull> All of a sudden video does not work on my system.  I get a black screen, audio only. WTF?
[22:12] <Kull> Anyone else?
[22:13] <Kull> totem, mplayer, vlc all the same
[22:13] <mylisto23> fyodorovna: how can I run that script from a Livecd?  ie how can I download the script?
[22:13] <mylisto23> haha
[22:13] <mylisto23> never midn
[22:13] <mylisto23> mind
[22:13] <zykotick9> Kull: try changing the VO in mplayer as a test - "mplayer -vo x11 file.foo" also test ".. -vo xv .."
[22:14] <Kull> zykotick9: that works, and so does fbdev drivers... so what's teh source of the problem?
[22:15] <zykotick9> Kull: x11 works?  try gl
[22:15] <Kull> gl works with massive stutter
[22:15] <zykotick9> Kull: what graphics cards to you have
[22:15] <Kull> Integrated intel
[22:16] <Kull> Just stopped working, I havent even reboot in weeks.
[22:16] <nancy--> how to install mysql after i have installed apache2 and php5 ?
[22:16] <Kull> nancy--: apt-get nistall mysql-server
[22:17] <nancy--> thx
[22:17] <Kull> install*
[22:17] <zykotick9> Kull: ok.  well, drivers "shouldn't" be an issue, but i don't really have any suggestions (x11 sucks with fullscreen usually), xv is usually the problem, and gl or gl2 would probably be ideal
[22:17] <Kull> zykotick9: xv does not work, x11 does
[22:18] <zykotick9> Kull: ya, that's not uncommon
[22:18] <Kull> zykotick9: what is uncommon is for my damn system to stop working for no apparent reason.
[22:18] <escott> Kull, earlier wieso claimed that this was caused by setting the contrast setting in totem at its lowest level.
[22:19] <zykotick9> Kull: with ubuntu, that's common to ;)
[22:19] <Kull> escott: I dont even use totem.
[22:19] <jn__> One of those silly questions, anyone have code for .bashrc to colour password prompt? :P
[22:19] <zykotick9> jn__: i highly doubt that's an option/possible
[22:20] <jn__> hehe okay
[22:20] <soaringsky> jn__: just google it
[22:20] <zykotick9> !google > soaringsky
[22:20] <nancy--> Kull,  how to give ftp access to /var/www folder ?
[22:20] <soaringsky> jn__: definitely possible
[22:20] <escott> Kull, he claimed it was a cross application setting of some kind, i assumed it was an nvidia driver issue and left it at that
[22:21] <Kull> nancy--: read the documentation that comes with the software.  Read the man pages.  If you dont know how to set up a server then maybe you should let someone else do it for you or read the documentgation, which clearly explains it -- much better than I could.
[22:21] <soaringsky> jn__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614743
[22:22] <nancy--> Kull,  ya. iam doing it to understand it. i need to installed an ftp server. how to do that?
[22:22] <zykotick9> nancy--: FTP MUST DIE!  http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie
[22:22] <Kull> nancy--: please read the documentation on apt-get or aptitude.  You need to learn how to install packages...
[22:23] <Kull> nancy--: in a terminal, type  man apt-get

 ill look at it thanks!

[22:24] <zykotick9> nancy--: it's a MUCH better option
[22:24] <khedrub> Hi, had the foolish idea to dist-upgrade after changing the paths in the sources-list from maverick to oneiric. Now I am stuck here: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-client-5.1_5.1.61-0ubuntu0.11.10.1_i386.deb (--unpack):
[22:24] <khedrub>  trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/perror', which is also in package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.61-0ubuntu0.10.10.1
[22:24] <zykotick9> nancy--: if you "need" ftp then you need it - but it's really something that should be deprecated in this day and ago
[22:25] <nancy--> zykotick9,  so ftp is depricated?
[22:25] <escott> nancy--, its an insecure and poorly behaved protocol. dont use it unless you have to
[22:26] <soaringsky> nancy--: its not depreciated, but its insecure and moody
[22:26] <vas01> Hey, everyone. Quick question. Was is the difference between /path/to/directory/ and ./path/to/directory/
[22:27] <vas01> What is*
[22:27] <nancy--> soaringsky,  sftp is fine.? how to install it?
[22:27] <Kull> nancy--: do you not know how to install packages?
[22:27] <MonkeyDust> vas01  . is the current directory
[22:27] <khedrub> vas01 ./ starts from your current path, while / starts at root
[22:27] <Kull> The same way you install anything, nancy--
[22:28] <Kull> apt-get install name_of_package
[22:28] <soaringsky> !sftp | nancy--
[22:28] <escott> !find /usr/bin/sftp
[22:28] <soaringsky> nancy--: sftp is based in ssh
[22:28] <vas01> MonkeyDust: Thanks.
[22:28] <vas01> khedrub: Thanks
[22:28] <nancy--> i already have ssh
[22:28] <soaringsky> !sshd | nancy--

[22:31] <nancy--> how to install sftp ?
[22:31] <zykotick9> nancy--: "sudo apt-get install ssh" is one way
[22:32] <nancy--> i already have ssh...
[22:32] <zykotick9> nancy--: they you have sftp ;)
[22:32] <soaringsky> nancy--: sftp runs over ssh. you need to have an ssh server setup, see above message
[22:32] <nancy--> but how to make that ftp. i mean
[22:32] <zykotick9> nancy--: it can't be ftp, only sftp
[22:32] <nancy--> soaringsky, zykotick9  oh ok.
[22:33] <ixiaqla> Hello. I want my laptop to use its VPN connection as soon as a network connection materializes. I have checked "connect automatically" on my VPN conf page in nm-connection-editor, but it doesn't actually connect automatically. How do I fix that?
[22:33] <nancy--> soaringsky, zykotick9  what do i need to share the /var/www folder as on sftp acces with a username and password. how do i setup that?
[22:33] <zykotick9> nancy--: if you "need" ftp install a ftp server, and good luck ;)
[22:33] <nancy--> zykotick9,  command ?

[22:34] <zykotick9> nancy--: ;) sorry i'm not making any ftp suggestions.  (PS i used to use proftpd)

[22:37] <helo> i did it for you
[22:38] <nancy--> thx guys
[22:39] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, you said you had a boot problem yesterday and fixed it. Are ever running sudo update-grub in ubuntu?
[22:39] <mylisto23> not sure
[22:40] <mylisto23> I just used "reinstall grub boot loader" in the rescue options of the installation dvd
[22:40] <CFHowlett> knock knock!  I need to place an image in gimp precisely.  Can you tell me the keyboard sequence?  I don't see it anywhere...
[22:41] <MonkeyDust> CFHowlett  zoom in and use the arrow keys
[22:41] <CFHowlett> MonkeyDust   thank you.
[22:42] <AcidRain> is there no tutorial to setup a shoutcast server on ubuntu in 2012? all shoutcast versions are outdated
[22:44] <netbus> evening
[22:45] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, when you reload grub always run in the installed desktop terminal sud update-grub.
[22:45] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, Doh sudo update-grub
[22:46] <emmanuel06160> reason of seing shrunk drive might be some feature called HPA (sudo hdparm -N /dev/sda: /dev/sda: max sectors   = 295231450/312581808, HPA is enabled) needs further investigation... and why it is enabled on 11.10 and not enabled on 10.04
[22:48] <nate_h> isn't there a way to just tell apt you don't want to use gpg?
[22:48] <mylisto23> fyodorovna: so are you saying to use terminal in the live cd?
[22:49] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, here is the grub wiki with three methods of reloading grub to the mbr the chroot is most commonly used  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[22:49] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, read the post, is the live a install?
[22:49] <mylisto23> what do you mean?
[22:51] <Fyodorovna> mylisto23, you only run the upodate-grub in a installed ubuntu in the OS in the terminal.
[22:51] <n3glv> hi all

[22:59] <eter> hi, what should i care about using tor network. actually i use aurora tor browser and i know there are some internet futures not compatibile with tor such as flash or something, but i trust the "tor browser" is configured to not use those. what i wonder is if there are some other aspects i should take care of if i don't want incur other users?
[22:59] <MonkeyDust> AcidRain  or try lsof -o|less
[23:01] <hawthoerne> hello
[23:01] <hawthoerne> does anyone have any experience with wubi
[23:02] <pediciniaf> wubi is pretty nice. it takes care of the entire installation for you. hawthoerne
[23:03] <hawthoerne> i have experience with linux, but i don't want to have to make seperate partitions
[23:03] <mylisto23> jordan_u: nothing happens..it just sits there
[23:03] <hawthoerne> i'm afraid of it breaking my windows install
[23:03] <pediciniaf> hawthoerne. wubi is the way to go
[23:03] <AcidRain> error opening client socket! FATAL ERROR! Some other process is using this port!
[23:03] <escott> hawthoerne, if your system is powerful enough try a virtual machine
[23:03] <AcidRain> there is indeed no other process using port 8000
[23:04] <hawthoerne> does it work for 64 bit because i have 6gb of ram
[23:04] <resno> i am trying to add java support but add-apt-repository isnt working
[23:04] <pediciniaf> it does not interfere with the windows install. hawthoerne
[23:04] <pediciniaf> yes
[23:04] <Jordan_U> mylisto23: If nothing happened when you pressed the power button on your computer then you have a hardware problem.
[23:04] <hawthoerne> brb
[23:05] <mylisto23> jordan_u: it turns on...goes past the dell screen..then it just sits there with a blank screen
[23:05] <Jordan_U> mylisto23: OK. Does the same thing happen if you hold shift at boot?
[23:05] <mylisto23> sorry
[23:05] <mylisto23> gotta go..
[23:05] <mylisto23> emergency
[23:05] <mylisto23> talk soon..thanks..will be back later
[23:06] <resno> i am trying to add java support but add-apt-repository isnt working
[23:06] <hawthoerne> back
[23:06] <mylisto23> jordan_u: thanks!  when I hold shift it works!
[23:07] <mylisto23> it shows the different options (ubuntu, recover, etc)
[23:07] <Jordan_U> mylisto23: You're welcome. That means though that the problem was probably after grub, and so the main Ubuntu entry will likely fail (but the recovery entry should at least give you more detailed output).

[23:15] <amaurea> After an upgrade, /dev/dsp no longer exists. I have a program that needs /dev/dsp. How do I get it back?
[23:15] <escott> wieso, yes
[23:15] <wieso> escott: strange, no?
[23:17] <escott> wieso, if thats what it was then xv must have some global settings.
[23:18] <scientes> my UID is 499, and its showing "guest" instead of my user's name
[23:19] <scientes> what a bunch of shit software
[23:19] <wieso> escott: ... and indeed, changing contrast in totem changes contrast in VLC !!! <= I try this out atm
[23:19] <Konata> I made the very horrible mistake of installing 11.10
[23:19] <Konata> is it possible at all to just use a normal desktop
[23:20] <Konata> *desktop interface
[23:20] <hawthoerne> can i uninstall ubuntu once i install it with wubi
[23:20] <wieso> anyway, thanks for your help escott ...
[23:21] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, yeah.
[23:21] <hawthoerne> ok good
[23:21] <hawthoerne> how much space does it take, i forgot
[23:21] <hawthoerne> i have 400 gb free
[23:21] <Konata> would it be wise to just install 10.04 LTS?
[23:22] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, up to 30 gigs.
[23:22] <Fyodorovna> 30 gig limit.
[23:22] <hawthoerne> ok
[23:22] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, you have a recovery or install disc for windows?
[23:23] <hawthoerne> and the user data goes into that limit too?
[23:23] <hawthoerne> i have a recovery partition
[23:23] <wxr> hi, how do you use git for source forge? git checkout git://PROJECTNAME.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/PROJECTNAME/REPONAME ?
[23:24] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, the os and user yes as far as data, yes. I ask about the recovery as it is used for repair including reloading the mbr if needed.
[23:24] <hawthoerne> so long as it doesn't mess with the recovery partition i should have one
[23:24] <wxr> please, I got mind aids just thinking of how to solve this
[23:24] <wxr> tried everything
[23:25] <wxr> injecting code into the git, run it from terminal, run on windows, everything,
[23:25] <itaylor57> wxr, you will probably get a better answer in #git
[23:25] <rjman> in 11.10, is it possible to have a separate wallpaper for each virtual desktop?
[23:25]  * wxr begs like a true $0.2 begger
[23:26] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, you should have one, you can burn one in backup in W7. Wubi should not mess with the mbr, but is known to on occasion if a grub update happens, not supposed to but once in a while we see them here.
[23:26] <gebbione> hi ,anything in linux that allows to manage music on the iphone?
[23:26] <wxr> I can't talk on #git
[23:26] <itaylor57> gebbione, no
[23:26] <itaylor57> !register | wxr
[23:26] <wxr> nvm
[23:27] <hawthoerne> Fyodorovna, that'll be like 10 dvds
[23:27] <hawthoerne> it backs up everything on the computer at the time
[23:27] <hawthoerne> not just the os
[23:27] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, no a recovery abouy 125mb not a full backup
[23:27] <hawthoerne> oh really?
[23:27] <Fyodorovna> yes
[23:27] <hawthoerne> i'll do that
[23:28] <hawthoerne> forgive me for forgetting everything i learned in my computer repair classes but how do i do that lol
[23:28] <Draconicus> Hmm. I never got a PM
[23:29] <Ampix0> Just installed Ubuntu Server. shell says "tty1" it isn't an open shell. I can type but it doesn't do anything
[23:30] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, in W7 recovery in the top left is a list of apps the full image and a make a recovery
[23:31] <Mike9863> My ideal interface includes a dock and/or panel, however I am not a fan of GNOME Shell or Unity. Does anyone have any recommendations for a panel that has theme management and applets/plugins?
[23:33] <hawthoerne> Fyodorovna, i'm looking at the toshiba website and it says there's a recovery program that i can find by searching the start menu
[23:33] <Therion87> XFCE
[23:33] <Therion87> Cinnamon
[23:33] <Therion87> MATE
[23:34] <hawthoerne> omg 5 dvds
[23:34] <hawthoerne> oh well
[23:34] <Therion87> 5 DVDs for what?
[23:34] <hawthoerne> i want to keep most of the bloatware so i have to do this recovery
[23:34] <Fyodorovna> hawthoerne, yes back up or recovery same thing basically, type it in search go there a s a admin, or it will prompt for the password.  I assume you run in a limited account.
[23:34] <tanath> why is it impossible to completely get rid of unity and bluetooth?
[23:35] <hawthoerne> Therion87, recovery disks
[23:35] <Therion87> How much data you have? Back up to an external HDD?
[23:35] <Therion87> Are you backing up programs too?
[23:35] <hawthoerne> my external hdd is finicky
[23:35] <Fyodorovna> tanath, It is not really advised to remove unity, it is rather small anyway.
[23:36] <tanath> Fyodorovna, why?
[23:36] <hawthoerne> i use the thing where it asks you if you want to allow programs admin permission
[23:36] <hawthoerne> i forgot what its called
[23:36] <tanath> Fyodorovna, i don't want it and have no intention of ever using it. i want it gone. i also don't have bluetooth and want to get rid of that too, but removing one requires installation of the other
[23:36] <hawthoerne> its been over a year since that class
[23:36] <Fyodorovna> tanath, kind of intertwined with compiz as a plugin and part of gnome 3
[23:37] <Lordveda> Guys I have used Win98 fdisk and format utilities which has changed the external appearance of the partition table which was created by parted, the question is how to return the partition to its original state?
[23:37] <tanath> Fyodorovna, not going to enable unity plugin in compiz
[23:38] <Fyodorovna> tanath, what desktop are you using?
[23:38] <tanath> Fyodorovna, xfce
[23:38] <Fyodorovna> tanath, cool good desktop.
[23:38] <tanath> Fyodorovna, and gnome as backup if needed...
[23:39] <tanath> Fyodorovna, so call me ocd if you want, but i don't see a good reason why removal of unity/bluetooth would require installation of the other. that should be fixed
[23:40] <Fyodorovna> tanath, not sure myself, make a clone of the OS is probably best really.
[23:41] <tanath> Fyodorovna, so compiz has a unity plugin... doesn't mean it's being used. and if there's no unity, the plugin should simply be unusable
[23:41] <tanath> Fyodorovna, seriously? you think making and maintaining my own distro is the best solution, rather than fixing an otherwise decent existing distro?
[23:41] <tanath> Fyodorovna, i don't have time for that...
[23:42] <Ampix0> Just installed ubuntu server. it says "Server tty1" and then it's blank, no shell
[23:43] <Fyodorovna> tanath, I never told you to use the unity plugin. Do what you want I can't help.
[23:43] <tanath> Fyodorovna, ubuntu is becoming more and more difficult to customize. it's sad
[23:43] <zivester> is dd the best way to make DVD backups (including copy protected DVDs)?
[23:43] <tanath> Fyodorovna, huh? i never implied you did...
[23:44] <AcidRain> how do i determine which interface sound for rythmbox is using?
[23:44] <wieso> Q: Two users login into the same account (both are far away). User1 wants to show in life user2 what he types. How can this be done?
[23:44] <tanath> zivester, not really. some copy protection will fail if you use dd
[23:45] <EvilResistance> wieso, perhaps using 'screen', but i'm not entirely sure how you'd do that
[23:45] <AcidRain> bots
[23:45] <wieso> EvilResistance: screen is a commandline prog?
[23:46] <Jordan_U> zivester: If you're only going to be playing the DVD backup from Ubuntu, or with another player that uses DECSS anyway, then yes. For the odd DRM which creates virtual scratches (Purposefully incorrect checksums on some blocks) you'll want to use GNU ddrescue (which is *not* the same as the dd_rescue script).
[23:46] <EvilResistance> wieso, yes, if you want GUI, i dont think you can, unless you're using a screen-sharing program or something
[23:46] <Tunix2> How do you guys feel about Lubuntu? I am using Xubuntu now but it has a few issues I really dont like
[23:46] <wieso> EvilResistance: no, I want terminal
[23:46] <EvilResistance> Tunix2, you might ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:46] <Jordan_U> zivester: And there's no downside to using GNU ddrecue for non DRM'd dvds either.
[23:47] <EvilResistance> wieso, then `screen` might be what you're looking for
[23:47] <AcidRain> can anyone tell me how to determine sound interface?
[23:47] <wieso> EvilResistance: thx
[23:47] <Tunix2> EvilResistance, will do
[23:47] <Guest78476> Hello! Would it be rude of me to barge in here and ask a question?
[23:48] <Guest78476> (sorry about the guest nickname)
[23:49] <SunGlyph> Guest78476: Ask away?
[23:49] <cowslammer> how do i geta grub  menu when booting (10.4)
[23:50] <nitinab> Guest78476: thats why this room is for :)
[23:50] <zivester> Jordan_U, tanath: thanks... so ddrescue will give me a direct clone of whatever DVD I have .. sounds like exactly what i need
[23:50] <zivester> is it just this simple? `ddrescue -n -b 2048 /dev/dvd dvd.iso /tmp/dvd.log` ?
[23:51] <Guest78476> So basically, a laptop I am working on for a friend recently had its paging file corrupted, and I want to go into it and salvage some files
[23:51] <Guest78476> (the laptop uses windows XP)
[23:51] <Guest78476> I booted the laptop into Ubuntu with a USB drive
[23:51] <Guest78476> but I can't find/access the native hard drive
[23:51] <AcidRain> how to determine which audio interface rythmbox is using?
[23:52] <cowslammer> how do i geta grub  menu when booting (10.4)
[23:52] <zivester> shift
[23:52] <Fyodorovna> Guest78476, nothing there not in the OS.
[23:52] <Guest78476> I was wondering how I could go about mounting the native hard drive, and recovering some files without having to format it over
[23:53] <Guest78476> I see a hard drive called casper -rw but I don't think that is the native drive is it?
[23:53] <nitinab> cowslammer: try the shift key or the arrow keys .... while the computer starts to boot, you may also try increasing the countdown time in the grub config
[23:53] <AcidRain> how to determine which audio interface rythmbox is using?
[23:54] <Guest78476> so tl;dr how do I mount a hard drive that has windows on it, even if it's paging file is corrupted?
[23:55] <FastPutty> hi guys, my server has been under DOS attack and they are using bandwith method attack. My server stoped responding, is there anyway to sovle this issue?
[23:55] <FastPutty> its a DDOS*
[23:56] <FastPutty> they are triyn to reach my port with more than my limit bandwith,
[23:57] <nitinab> Guest78476: from the live usb in nautilus file browser you should get the hard disk , ready to mount, i am guessing you aren't getting anything
[23:57] <Fyodorovna> Guest78476, what files do you think are in the paging file?
[23:57] <ubntu> hello
[23:57] <luisr> hello everybody i have a quick ? how can i add a notification sound when i connect my laptop to a network
[23:57] <nitinab> Fyodorovna: i think he mean the paging files are corrupted but he wants to salvage other files from the disk
[23:57] <Guest78476> The file that is either corrupted or missing is ntfs.sys fyodorovna
[23:58] <markus280> hey guys !!
[23:58] <Guest78476> I see a hard drive called casper-rw, but thats about it
[23:58] <ubntu> hello, can someone help me?
[23:58] <Guest78476> I cant find any other hard drives
[23:59] <markus280> can anyone help me with a gnome terminal mod !!  i want to set gnome terminal default to open maximized
[23:59] <ubntu> too much people need help with noone to ask
[23:59] <hawthoerne> my flash drive is .6 gb too small to become recovery media
[23:59] <markus280> iknow you can do gnome-terminal --maximize but this wont open all terminals by default to open maximized
[23:59] <ry> i can attempt to answer if you have a question ubntu
[23:59] <ry> =)
