jimi_c@twig11: boot a livecd and repair the disk that way00:00
cuddylierIf I delete the "/" partion, will things be bad?00:00
=== adriano is now known as Guest96427
cuddylierAm I able to just have the "/home" partion?00:00
zykotic10cuddylier: VERY bad00:00
Oscailtcudddylier: Well what you like and what you get are two different things. I was once like you myself but I soon learned it wan't worth it. Having to run other resource hogs as well such as VNC and what not just to get the GUI00:00
twig11jimi_c: I'm booted from a liveusb right now. What's the best tool to do the repair?00:00
cuddylierHow can I get ubuntu to use the /home one then?00:00
cuddylierAs it installs on the "/" one00:00
SilfenXwhat is amiss if gparted doesnt provide me with a 'mount' option for a displayed partition?00:00
cuddylierAnd only gives me 10gb00:00
cuddylierThe "/home" one has 1.7tb on it00:01
cuddylierI want to use that space00:01
zykotic10cuddylier: is this a vps?00:01
cuddylierA dedicated server00:01
cuddylierWhat do I do? :(00:01
cuddylierI've spent all day trying to figure out what to do, as all the 10gb is used p00:01
cuddylierI need far more than 10gb00:02
OscailtWell you'll need to get your provider to reinstall Ubuntu and tell them how you want it.00:02
cuddylierI'll see what I can do, I have a control panel00:02
jimi_c@twig11: fsck.<fstype>00:02
jimi_cso fsck.ext3 for an ext3 partition00:02
cuddylierDo I keep the "/" directory but install it on the "/home" one?00:03
cuddylier"/" partition I mean00:03
Oscailtcuddylier: what are you using this server for? The best distro for servers is CentoOS00:03
jeremiah_I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it?00:03
cuddylierI am hosting a bukkit server00:03
cuddylierWell, I want to use it to do that00:04
Laminator_cuddylier: This method has risks, but you can use gparted, or other partitionmanager to shrink the partition with your /home dir and then enlarge the on with / mounted on it.00:04
OscailtMinecraft.00:04
cuddylierWould centos be better for bukkit servers?00:04
cuddylierMinecraft00:04
OscailtYes CentOS is best. In my view.00:04
jeremiah_Oscailt, minecraft is the best!00:04
jimi_c@cuddylier: do you have anything on this server yet? probably easiest just to blow it away and reinstall from scratch00:04
cuddylierNah, nothing00:04
jimi_c1 hour and you're done, no screwing around00:05
faryshtahow do I install 11.10 on a USB?00:05
zykotic10!best | Oscailt CentOS whatever...00:05
ubottuOscailt CentOS whatever...: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.00:05
jeremiah_I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it?00:06
SilfenXwhat is amiss if gparted doesnt provide me with a 'mount' option for a displayed partition? Documentation just says that if the option isnt shown, then gparted doesnt know where to mount the partition. WTH?!! Why cant it just ask me where I want it mounted ten ... bloody convoluted stuff this00:06
Oscailtubottu: I did say my view, not that it is.00:06
ubottuOscailt: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)00:06
jimi_c@SilfenX: add a line to /etc/fstab and gparted will know where to mount it :)00:07
OscailtLove getting told off by a bot.00:07
KmanHey00:08
KmanIs there a way to install Ubuntu server after having installed the desktop version?00:08
jimi_c@Kman: yes, uninstall packages :)00:09
Kmanoh yeah, ive seen long technical guides about that00:09
jimi_cdo that and change your default init level to 3 instead of 500:09
KmanI just dont understand why the usb stick wont boot00:09
jimi_cold motherboard bios maybe? or maybe a bios option?00:10
Kmanno, i just installed the desktop from a usb stick lol00:10
drdoAudio in skype isn't working (remote pulseaudio server). Does anyone have any clue why that might be?00:10
drdoIt works fine for everything else00:10
FyodorovnaKman, does the power on gui say press ? for boot menu?00:10
SilfenXare there any applications (not the bloody terminal) around to allow me to mount partitions/drives without having to resort to mucking around in fstab with nano ...00:11
hauxWhen I enable crossfire in ubuntu (It's actually AMD's "Dual Graphics"), ubuntu freezes on the load screen after restart. Any ideas on how to get this working?00:11
OscailtSilfex: GParted00:11
SilfenXahem, see above00:11
infest would anyone here know why the sudo dd command is not found when i try to install ubuntu on a usb stick for my macbook? i am using terminal from an external drive running the install disk. would it be because i'm not using os x that that command does not exist?00:11
ActionParsnipSilfenX: nautilus can do it too00:11
ActionParsnipinfest: unetbootin is available for mac and can put the ISO on USB storages00:12
Oscailthaux: I don't think anyone here has your answer. Have you tried an internet search?00:12
hauxOscailt, that's typically what I do first.00:13
SilfenXActionParsnip: where in nautilus can I locate the drives/partitions if they arent mounted?00:13
mirko1SilfenX: there are GUI front ends for fusermount, forgot how they are called, will you find them or should I search?00:13
Oscailthaux: I've seen you ask it a couple of times and not get a reply so I was just trying to offer some advice.00:13
SilfenXmirko1: thanks, I ll see if I can find that one00:13
Rocky!ircd00:14
hauxOscailt, I understand. I'll try giving AMD support a call, although I'm unsure that they offer support for Linux.00:14
ActionParsnipSilfenX: in the left panel00:15
Oscailthaux: AMD are normally very helpful.00:15
ActionParsniphaux: hybrid GPU is problematic in Linux00:16
SilfenXActionParsnip: my left pane in Nautilus contain only 'root', 'Desktop', 'File System', 'Network' and 'Trash'00:16
ActionParsniphaux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics00:16
RockyHey guys im in need of some help. im trying to set up a basic basic irc server. Ive been messing around with ircd-hybrid but i cant get it to allow connections from out side the network would anyone be able to assist, ive goggld but it seems all the results on setting up a irc server is just for internal00:16
hauxThank you00:16
ActionParsnipSilfenX: do you see the partitions in the output of: sudo fdisk -l00:16
sacarlsonSilfenX: maybe try mountmanager  gui00:17
SilfenXActionParsnip: yes, I do00:17
jeremiah_I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it?00:18
hauxIs there any benefit to using fglrx over the opensource drivers?00:18
sacarlsonRocky: so it does work when seen from your local network?00:18
ActionParsnipSilfenX: if they are internal I'd add them to fstab personally, not sure otherwise00:18
Rockyyes00:18
sacarlsonRocky: did you setup port forwarding on your adsl router?00:19
Rockysacarlson yes i have the ports forwarded00:19
sacarlsonRocky: and what port numbers might that be?00:19
Rockysacarlson 6666-666700:20
sacarlsonRocky: ok sounds good and how about dns then?00:20
Rockysacarlson i use a zapto.org00:21
jeremiah_I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it?00:21
twig11jimi_c: okay, I've never used fsck before but I ran sudo fsck.ext4  /dev/sda5 and it's doing it's thing. It asked for permission to fix it and after I hit y it said "Group descriptor 0 checksum is invalid.  FIXED." (same line repeated all the way to 1064)00:21
sacarlsonRocky: ok so lets take a look then what's the address00:21
twig11Now it's saying "Free blocks count wrong for group #1 (31743, counted=10329).00:21
twig11Fix<y>? Should I be hitting yes for this?00:21
Rockysacarlson from no-ip. i have a full working LAMP + FTP + SSH all pointing to this virtual machine00:21
SilfenXscarlson: WTH! mountmanager is russian by default :( Looks promising tho, but cant understand a thing of it ...00:22
twig11jimi_c: Understand I have no idea what I'm doing with fsck.00:22
jeremiah_can someone help?00:22
sacarlsonRocky: ok and the apache is already seen?00:22
jimi_c@twig11: yes, I typically do fsck -y so it just answers yes to everything but you can't ctrl+c it or you might end up with an invalid disk00:22
Rockysacarlson blindfaith.zapto.org00:22
jimi_ci probably put too much faith in fsck, but i've repaired many ext3/4 partitions and haven't had an issue yet00:22
twig11jimi_c: I accidentally ctrl+c'd it twice trying to copy text for this chat without thinking. I just reissued the command and it seems to be continuing.00:23
jimi_cand noone really knows what fsck is doing except fs developers :D but if you have a bad partition it's about all you can do00:24
Rockysacarlson im just confused @ what options in the config to change so it listens for outside connections00:24
jimi_ccross your fingers and fsck it :)00:24
mornandohi all! complete newbie here!00:24
mornandoanyone know how to help me fix a graphics driver?00:24
sacarlsonRocky: you might check sudo netstat -pant ; to see that 6666 is listening on all address00:24
twig11jimi_c: holding down the "y" key and praying...00:24
jeremiah_HELLO????00:25
maxflaxhello, How do I turn off the wifi power management so It does it at boot.00:25
twig11jimi_c: directories count wrong, free inodes count wrong... Just keep hitting yes?00:25
mirko1jimi_c: fsck does excactly what it's surposed to to (second letter, check alt.syrecovery or so) :-D00:26
GhostConnok i just clocked my fx-8150 to 4.45gzh.. is there a way to make ubuntu stop decreasing my cpu speed?  I remember using linux mint I had the option to add a cpu frequency tab to my toolbar ? how would i do this with ubuntu00:26
GhostConntoolbar (gnomepannel)00:26
ActionParsnipmaxflax: the module it uses may have the option to disable power management00:26
jimi_c@twig11: yep. I just did the same thing a few nights ago. Took an md raid set and dropped it in new hardware. Fedora was not happy when it booted up...00:26
jimi_cbut after doing that it mounted fine and all my files seemed to be there00:27
ActionParsnipjeremiah_: run:  lsusb   see if its detected there, you can then use the 8 character hex ID to find guides00:27
twig11jimi_c: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** now what's the quickest way to see if it worked?00:27
Laminator_jeremiah_: If it takes long to get an answer, then either no one has one, or you need to give more information. No need to get impatient.00:27
maxflaxActionParsnip, Yeah, I can easily turn it off with iwconfig eth0 power off but I want it in boot so I dont have to do it manually every time00:28
jeremiah_ActionParsnip,yes it sees one. what is the 8 character hex id?00:28
jimi_c@twig11: mount it up00:28
ActionParsnipjeremiah_: read the line00:29
ActionParsnipmaxflax: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line00:29
jeremiah_ActionParsnip,  which part? Bus 005 Device 003: ID 08ff:2580 AuthenTec, Inc. AES2501 Fingerprint Sensor00:29
SilfenXcould anyone with an english version of mountmanager guide me to where you can change language in it s settings, if it has such an option00:30
Laminator_maxflax: you can use startup manager to add a custom startup command00:30

twig11jimi_c: looks good now, thanks so much for your help. Confession time. I think I also broke grub earlier by trying to repair this problem with...now I don't even remember the name of the utility because I installed it earlier on a non-persistent live-usb. Anyway, it now boots directly to Windows. How do I make sure grub is working before I reboot?00:33
mornandoIm new and the log file doesnt mean much!00:33
dustin_yup00:33
Laminator_hopohopo: I use emacs, which also has the feature (and much much more), vim may also be good.00:33
jimi_c@twig11: "man grub-install"00:33

DocPlatypusokay. I'm going to try to remain respectful, but this problem is at the end of my rope. again, I can't upgrade stuff, because of this stupid multiarch crap that I got "upgraded" to without asking. For example: "dpkg: error processing libfreetype6 (--configure): / libfreetype6:amd64 2.4.4-2ubuntu1.2 cannot be configured because libfreetype6:i386 is in a different version (2.4.4-2ubuntu1.1)" -- how do I get rid of this unw00:57
DocPlatypusanted and problematic i386 version of the library?00:57
ActionParsnipDocPlatypus: you will need a deb to make the versions match00:58
DocPlatypusActionParsnip: I do. I am trying to upgrade to the new version. aptitude gets done, runs dpkg, which sees the i386 version there and promptly takes a dump.00:59
Laminator_Namicod: You can also install hwinfo and then run "hwinfo --short --network". Gives you a simple and easy to read output.00:59
DocPlatypusI just want to get rid of the i386 version. "sudo aptitude remove libpng12-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386" does not work, btw.00:59
DocPlatypusand I've been under the impression it is supposed to.00:59
Laminator_Namicod: Sorry, scratch that, doesn't give you the vendor. Best run the command that was given earlier01:01
DocPlatypusonly thing I can think to do: downgrade these packages back to the versions that aren't in oneiric-security01:03
DocPlatypusand then re-upgrade01:03

delinquentme_how recursive?01:03
tonesfrommarsActionParsnip: that's a good idea (Gnome classic), I wonder if it's lightweight, or just a duck-typing of unity...01:04
DocPlatypusI really need to make sure whoever made this decision gets a piece of my mind. multiarch has done nothing but make problems for me, if I wanted to run i386 packages, I'd install an emulator or buy old 32-bit hardware!!!01:04
DocPlatypushonestly... this is dangerously close to being as bad as some Microsoft foul-ups.01:05

mirko1DocPlatypus: might be obvious, but there is nothing like multi-arch support, neither on linux nor on win or anything else.you  can always only count on luck that the drivers, libs and progs don't conflict. imho, if you think you need multi-arch support, then choose the lowest common denominator and that is usually classic 32bit. sorry for not providing anything more useful.01:12
daftykinswdsnead: no problem, sorry i can't be of any better help01:12
DocPlatypusmirko1: I want 64-bit. I want all this 32-bit shit gone (pardon my French). I thought I had it gone. but it's still there and now it is conflicting with a security upgrade.01:13

ActionParsnipperlsyntax: get fully updated too, those centrino chips often ned the n speed disabling to work01:25
DocPlatypussacarlson: that's just it. I don't need it. I don't want it. one of the upgrades/updates set me up for multiarch without my permission and against my wishes!!!01:25
perlsyntaxthank i be back in abit01:26
DocPlatypusin addition to an egregious violation of the principle of least surprise, it is getting in the way of a security update.01:26
ratcheerMany software packages require multiarch support.01:26
DocPlatypusratcheer: I'm not running any of them. so I don't want multiarch. I should not have it forced on me.01:26
ratcheerWell, no upgrade should have installed it unless some package required it.01:27
DocPlatypusthis should not even be an issue. I should have been *asked* if I need this, and *warned* of the possible problem first.01:27

spursncowboysI just got a apple emac g4. There is no os on the computer. I downloaded ubuntu 10.04 powerpc iso and put it in the cd tray. However when I put it on I get the normal folder with a question mark. Is there something I should push, like f2 for the pc?01:28
spursncowboysHi everyone btw01:28
ratcheerExample: I run a 64-bit video driver on a 64-bit system. But, for some reason, the driver requires multiarch support.01:28
ActionParsnipspursncowboys: did you MD5 test the ISO?01:28
Jordan_Uspursncowboys: Hold down the 'c' key at boot.01:28
DocPlatypusJordan_U: it's one line, no pastebin required. "E: No package named "libpng12-0:i386" exists."01:28
mcamaretspursncowboys: I'm not sure holding c will work, it doesn't for me, so if you have to enter open firmware (cmd+shift+o+f on bootup) and run "boot cd:,\\:tbxi01:30
sacarlsonspursncowboys: to install?  I think you need to reboot to get the cd to boot up01:30
DocPlatypusJordan_U: BTW, not what I expected to see. and now I'm not sure what if anything will fix this.01:30
mcamaret"01:30
spursncowboysJordan: thanks01:30
Jordan_UDocPlatypus: That's odd since the command works for me, and the package name 'libpng12-0:i386' is included in one of the error messages you posted. I don't know why that's happening.01:30

FunGoatIs the EFI situation still a bit of a roadblock to installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro?01:37
Jordan_UDocPlatypus: What about "apt-cache policy libfreetype6"?01:37
DocPlatypusJordan_U: I have already taken the multiarch configuration for apt out, I thought I had gotten rid of all i386 cruft left. is that going to be an issue?01:37
DocPlatypusJordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/898625/01:38
Jordan_UFunGoat: Your best bet is to install Ubuntu using a CD (rather than USB) and the +mac iso. That way you will be using Apple's BIOS implementation and avoid most problems with EFI.01:38
pmp6nlmediatomb it is!01:39
Jordan_UDocPlatypus: If you removed the entries for the 1386 repositories without first checking that you didn't have any i386 packages already installed that would explain why you're in this situation now.01:39
FunGoatJordan_U: What's the +mac iso? I've been attempting rEFIt without much luck.01:39

The problem you are having is either 1: You're misunderstanding RAM usage measurements 2: Firefox or a plugin / extension (like flash) is using up too much RAM and you need to deal with that at the application level.03:03

jay_zawrotnyHello, is anyone having issues with select-editor in ubuntu 11.1004:38
Jordan_Uani123: There are differences, but these differences usually don't matter. For instance, *very* old BIOSs often don't support booting from USB, Apple's firmware has bugs with USB booting when using their BIOS implementation, and if for some reason the drivers in linux don't support your USB hardware you may be able to boot via CD but not via USB.04:39

Jordan_U!sudo | nicmcginnis04:45
ubottunicmcginnis: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

nicmcginnisI see. So I want to edit a file. I'm used to GUIs, not command-line stuff. What command do I need to use to do this? (Sorry again. I am literally just trying to do OSS after a decade in windows.)04:48
hydrox24lisa_: not sure, but as I said, you need to ask the firefox channel or mozilla about this.04:49
hydrox24nicmcginnis: nano is the best basic CMD text-editor, but you can use a GUI text editor, just type "gedit FILE"04:50
lisa_hydrox24, nobody is there talking04:50
nicmcginnisHydrox24: ...okay, I'm in. That worked!04:51

Laxhello I recently installed 11.10 as a virtualbox guest vm.   I have a dual core AMD 7850 but for some reason Ubuntu wont recognize both cores.  ACPI is enabled in my bios.  Anyone have any thoughts?05:08
wyldeLax: look in the settings, there's an option for how many cores to use.05:09
ActionParsniplisa_: use the dash, click the ubuntu logo in the top left05:09
lisa_im disappointed, neither firefox nor chromium or auora can import my firefox bookmark saved from Windows 7 :(  no good05:09
lisa_MrHanjrah, ill look when I reboot05:09
lisa_ActionParsnip, ok05:09
ssfdre38lisa_, did you sign up for the the firefox cloud?05:10
wyldelisa_: firefox can export to more formats than .json05:10
aking1012just import it in an old version of firefox, sync it with firefox sync, and be done with it05:10
lisa_wylde, but the problem is that Ubuntu firefox doesnt show any IMPORT command anywhere in firefox05:10
lisa_aking1012, how?05:10
ssfdre38its cause Firefox doesnt need it anymore cause people use the Firefox Sync services05:10
lisa_ssfdre38, so tell me pls.. how can I import my Windiws 7 Firefox bookmark into Ubuntu firefox?05:11
aking1012old firefox binaries are readily available for windows...just run one of those in wine like you're used to from windows.05:11
Laxwylde: Thanks.  Im new, so open settings and go to "System Info"?05:11
wyldelisa_: what version of firefox are you using...05:11
ssfdre38lisa_, did you sign up for the firefox sync services?05:11
lisa_wylde, on W7?05:11
ActionParsniplisa_: open the file in a text file and you will see URLS, go to each one in turn and add them as bookmarks05:11
lisa_ssfdre38, no, what is it and is it free and secure?05:12
lisa_ActionParsnip, but I got 100+ bookmarks, that will take hours :(05:12
ssfdre38its part of firefox it self and what firefox version are you using on your Windows 7 system05:12
wyldeLax you know the area where you set up the virtual machine? I'm going from memory, here. Look for a tab related to processor, there will be an option for the number of cores to use.05:12
lisa_ssfdre38, the latest05:12
wyldelisa_: on Ubuntu05:12
Laxwylde: Thanks, Ill check it out05:13
ActionParsniplisa_: it may get to that05:13
lisa_wylde, the latest on ubuntu too,. just installed it today05:13
wyldefirefox 11 then?05:13
lisa_wylde, firefox 11.005:13
ActionParsniplisa_: import the file to win7, sync to the web then sync back to the ubuntu system05:13
ssfdre38lisa_, go to Tools > Set up sync so then this way you can sync your Firefox in your Ubuntu as well on your Windows so you dont loose anything05:13
lisa_wylde, Ubuntu firefox doesnt show any IMPORT command anywhere in firefox05:13
lisa_ssfdre38, i doint understand05:14
wyldelisa_: click on bookmarks > show all bookmarks > 3 rd button from left should be import.05:14
wyldeerr Import and Backup05:14
ssfdre38its so you can sync your fav, history and all your settings from your windows to your ubuntu firefox without dealing with anything05:15
lisa_im sorry everyone, ubuntu firefox does have IMPORT, it was in a hidden top menu that I didnt see until I placed mouse over it05:16
lisa_i apologize05:16
wyldelisa_: no worries :)05:16
lisa_wylde, yes I see it now in main top menu which was hidden05:16
lisa_:)05:16
lisa_im blonde lol05:16
lisa_and new to ubuntu05:16
lisa_1st day05:16
ssfdre38stop and just follow what i said to do so you dont need to import anything cause i use the Firefox Sync services so just go to Tools > Set Up Sync in your Firefox browser05:17
lisa_ssfdre38, how would it know the bookmark from W7 firefox?05:17
wyldelisa_: it takes some getting used to :) In a couple weeks regular use it'll get much easier ;)05:17
lisa_wylde, :)05:17
ssfdre38lisa_, cause it using the same browser and i do use it and it works just fine05:18
lisa_ssfdre38, ok but its cool now it imported the .json file05:18
ActionParsniplisa_: now, use the cloud sync. Its a lot easier05:19
ActionParsniplisa_: although archive the file itself just in case :)05:19
lisa_may I ask you guys something.. i used Rainlendar on W7 and want to use it on Ubuntu.  is it safe to install?05:19
ssfdre38it will keep both your firefox browsers on both systems up to date with your info05:19
lisa_ActionParsnip, ok05:19
lisa_ssfdre38, sounds good :)05:19
ssfdre38i use it as a backup for my browser05:20
ActionParsniplisa_: sure, there are linux versions of the app05:20
lisa_how do I add an app to the left menu?05:21
lisa_ActionParsnip, ok :)05:21
wyldelisa_:  click and drag it there05:21
ActionParsniplisa_: wget http://www.rainlendar.info/download/rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_i386.deb; rm ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install05:21
lisa_ActionParsnip, excellent cause I cant live without Rainlendar :)05:21
lisa_ActionParsnip, do I just copy and paste that command somewhere?05:22
lisa_wylde, ahh drag cool05:22
ActionParsniplisa_: yes, that whole command wil install rainlender for you (I assume 32bit Ubuntu)05:22
lisa_ActionParsnip, i installed 64 bit Ubuntu05:23
lisa_ActionParsnip, is there a 64 bit version?05:23
wyldelisa_: not that I think ActionParsnip would do anything hostile, just saying to be careful copying and pasting commands into the terminal if you don't know what they do. Be careful with ANY commands using sudo05:23
ActionParsniplisa_: wget http://www.rainlendar.info/download/rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_amd64.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_amd64.deb; rm ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install05:23
lisa_wylde, what is sudo?  the command line window? how I open it?05:24
lisa_its ok i found it :)05:24
ActionParsniplisa_: sudo is how you perform admin tasks, its like the 'run as admin' in windows (blatant ripoff, they even tried to patent it)05:24
lisa_im impressed with ubuntus download center etc05:24
lisa_ActionParsnip, i willl go read some intro docs to ubuntu05:25
wyldelisa_: sudo give the program/command you launched with it root permissions. Meaning whatever command got pasted in to terminal could seriously damage your ubuntu installation or cause you to lose your data05:25
ActionParsniplisa_: just installed it myself, gonna give it a whirl05:25
ActionParsniplisa_: rainlender05:25
lisa_do i need to install noscript on firefox like in Windows?  or is ubuntu secure so I dont need to worry about scripts on websites downloading a nasty virus or malware?05:26
Nach0zpretty much yeah05:26
lisa_ActionParsnip, i cant live without rainlender, its soo good05:26
Nach0zubuntu is WAY more secure than windows is as far as that stuff, lisa_05:26
lisa_Nach0z, cool :)  so I dont need to install any firewall and antivirus and antimalware apps?05:27
ActionParsniplisa_: no AV needed, you can configure the firewall if you don't use a router05:27
lisa_how can I clean out the cache, someone mentioned blitz or somerhing?05:27
lisa_ActionParsnip, how can I congifure firewall?05:27
lisa_ActionParsnip, you will end up loving rainlender :)  I never forgot appointments or things I need to do anymore :) hehe05:28

jasonJGood morning. I just wanted to ask if the compiz config settings manger visual effects of ubuntu 10.04 can be installed in ubuntu 11.10?05:43
totesmuhgoatsjasonJ: you just need to install the package05:45
totesmuhgoatsjasonJ: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager05:46
totesmuhgoatsor use the software center05:46
jasonJjasonJ:  Thank, I shall do it now. Is it possible to extract the settings of ubuntu 10.04 compizconfing manager and insert them into ubuntu 11.10's manager ?05:47
jasonJtotesmuhgoats: ^^05:47
totesmuhgoatsjasonJ: i am not too familiar with compiz to be honest. most programs in linux store their settings in a folder in your home directory that begins with a .05:48
totesmuhgoatsthat is basically the equivalent of a "hidden" folder in windows05:48
J-EscobarQuestion for you guys. I have an old Dell server running 10.04 with a 300gb hard drive. I am trying to clone the 300gb hard drive to a 2tb hard drive. I have read to use the Ubuntu live CD and use dd command. However, it will not boot up the ubuntu live install dvd. So I booted up to the 10.04 hard drive and started the dd command without the disk. is this going to be a problem? or will it still clone while booted up and mounted?05:48
totesmuhgoatssome programs might store their settings in a folder called .config or something similar if they are related to another program05:48
totesmuhgoatsif you find something compiz related you can just copy it to the other pc05:49
totesmuhgoatsif it doesn't work just delete it, the next time the program runs it will recreate a working one05:49
totesmuhgoatsJ-Escobar: I would suggest you use clonezilla05:50
totesmuhgoatsit is a livecd that does exactly what you want05:50
jasonJtotesmuhgoats: Sorry, begins with a -what?  :(05:50
totesmuhgoatsand it will pass all the needed arguments to make the process as pain free as possible05:50
totesmuhgoatsjasonJ: a . (period)05:50
totesmuhgoatsjasonJ: in a terminal type 'ls' and hit return05:50
totesmuhgoatsyou will see a file listing05:50
totesmuhgoatsthen type 'ls -a' and hit return05:51
wyldels -a will include hidden files and directories05:51
totesmuhgoatsthis time you will see "hidden files" they all have names that begin with a period05:51
luxiaotonghi05:51
jasonJtotesmuhgoats: Oh okay, thank you much!  :)05:51
luxiaotonghello,everyone,where am i?05:52
GhostConnhello can someone please help me hear. I have a triple boot system with ubuntu 11:10,lm 10 & win7... I updated grub today and I am now missing my option to boot into window 7?05:52
totesmuhgoatsjasonJ: keep in mind, i don't know if that is where compiz stores its settings, but it is where most programs store their settings05:53
totesmuhgoatsactually i apparently do have compiz installed05:54
totesmuhgoatsand the settings are in .config/compiz05:54
totesmuhgoatsi also have a .config/compiz-105:54
totesmuhgoatsno idea what that's about05:54
jasonJGhostConn: I once got that same problem.  One ubuntu blog gave this command to run in Terminal  "sudo update-grub" and it added windows option to boot menu. Try it once?05:54

uBUXUBuGhostConn, If you don't see this menu, it means the installation didn't do what it should have. Try pressing Shift a little after your computer starts, before the BIOS finishes initializing. This will show the menu.07:19
uBUXUBuWithin Ubuntu, you can configure the bootloader by editing /etc/default/grub. The settings are documented on the Ubuntu website. Back up the original file and don't change anything you don't understand. You need to run the update-grub command for the settings to take effect.07:19

Flannelpoincare101: Lets first try the easy way out, see if apt can fight it's way out of a paper bag (the update may have helped, the apt-cache policy commands look good except for the missing dependency): `sudo apt-get install libc-bin libc6`07:21

Jordan_Utestuser99: OK. Then let's just blindly try to interact with grub :). Hold shift during boot and wait until after you see the grub loading and the monitor complains about the resolution. At that point press "c" (which will get you to a grub shell) then type "terminal_output console" and hit enter. If you're lucky and an accurate typist you should be able to see the grub shell at that point, and return to the menu by pressing escape.08:06

testuser99Jordan_U: k, should i bother booting it, or can i do that through grub?08:20
Jordan_Utestuser99: You need to do this from a booted system. Grub doesn't ever write to disk (*except to /boot/grub/grubenv but only because it is pre-allocated and thus can be easily determined to be safe).08:22
SilfenXif anyone got a moment to spare, I m curious as to why I have NO access to alter settings/move around icons on desktop, make persistent changes in system tools etc. I ve set up my system according to this tutorial: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-VNC.html08:22
CrowlerSilfenX because ubuntu made "foolproof"08:23
SilfenXoh, is there a way around 'foolproof'?08:24
Crowlersure there is, if you not afraid to experiment08:25
=== adante_ is now known as adante
Kristof_DI can't seem to find the shell commands to activate/deactivate proprietary hardware drivers. Anyone who knows 'em by heart?08:25
SilfenXno I m not, only thing that bother me really is I dont know how, even where to begin. Maybe change distro alltogether?08:25
CrowlerSilfenX i doubt you'll find more freedom in any modern package based distro08:26
lianghi,all, when I installed ibus-qt-1.3.1-source, I have got error "qibusbus.cpp:11: fatal error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.", if you have the same err,pls let me know ?08:26
klawdhi!08:28
SilfenXCrowler: sitting down at the actual machine running ubuntu, the screen only shows a terminal prompt while if I access it via VNC from my windows machine, I get a very basic looking gnome desktopthingamajingy08:28
klawdhow can i disable the boot splas screen?08:28
klawdi just want to see what's going on on console level08:28
SilfenXis it the vnc session in itself that prohibits me from full access?08:28
CrowlerKristof_D first find what package you use for drivers08:29
SilfenXcould I instance the vnc session with elevated access rights somehow?08:29
CrowlerSilfenX alt+f7?08:29
CrowlerSilfenX stock vnc is "foolproof" too08:30
testuser99well, i got it booted, but now stuck at a blinking _08:30
Crowlerklawd you have to edit grub config file08:36
Crowlerklawd or press esc at boot time08:36
klawdi tried with the grub config file08:37
klawdbut it seems to not have worked, i use wubi08:37
Crowleris it that things that boots linux from windows?08:38
__Alex_Crowler: Yes08:39
SilfenXCrowler: alt+f7 on ubuntu machine gives a bunch of text, ending with 'The vnc HOME variable is not set'08:39
Crowleri only heard about wubi, but neer actually used it08:40
CrowlerSilfenX stock vnc doesnt allow you to connect to your established linux session08:41
testuser99from the grub> prompt, can i tell ubuntu to only use console output?08:41
CrowlerSilfenX so if you connect via vnc, you get logged out from gui locally08:42
SilfenXCrowler: ok. Since you say 'stock vnc', I assume there is something else out there might let me do that?08:42
bastidrazorklawd: remove quiet and splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=  in /etc/default/grub then do a 'sudo update-grub'08:42
CrowlerSilfenX there is08:42
CrowlerSilfenX try some derivatives, like tightvnc08:43
SilfenXCrowler: this setup is based on ubuntu server 10.04 and has only got gnome-core installed08:43
SilfenXCrowler: just to prevent it from running a heavy local gui which I really dont need if I can get this to work properly. It s meant to sit healdess in a closet08:44
blendedbychriswhen i run uname -r and get 2.6.32-342-ec2 … is that the latest kernel?08:44
blendedbychrisor do i need to run apt-get install linux-…3.0.16 etc?08:45
SilfenXCrowler: the vncserver I m running now I think is called vnc4server/x11?08:45
CrowlerSilfenX try some lightweight UI, but they usually ugly, outdated and you have to configure them by manually editing config files08:46
Crowlerblendedbychris dont bother. 3.xx is just a name08:47
blendedbychrisCrowler: watcha mean?08:48
blendedbychrisi upgrade from lts to ocelot … just making sure i don't need to change grub or install an update kernel08:48
Crowlerblendedbychris dont bother. 3.xx was released as a jubilee edition. 20 years of linux08:49
Crowlerblendedbychris no new functionality or serious improvements were made08:49
blendedbychrishrm08:49
sam_hellooooo08:49
blendedbychriswell my mind is thoroughly baffled08:52
blendedbychrisso i'm done08:52

testuser99but getting kernel: command not found08:54
haftishi cant share my fodler from my ubuntu 10.10 just i enable the file sharing but still it is not working?08:54
klawdbastidrazor: and update-grub says Skipping Windows 7 (loader) on Wubi system08:54
Crowlertestuser99 try "?", eh?08:54
haftishi can't share my fodler from my ubuntu 10.10 just i enable the file sharing but still it is not working? the error says "Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory)"08:56
lisa_I typed this command, but now Ubuntu loads and freezes. mkdir ~/.config/autostart; cd ~/.config/autostart; ln -s /usr/share/applications/rainlendar2.desktop .08:57
lisa_any fix?08:57
Crowlerhaftish instal package that "testparm" belongs to08:57
Seveas!find testparm08:58
ubottuFile testparm found in manpages-zh, python-samba, samba-common-bin, samba-dbg, samba-doc08:58
lisa_how do I remove something from the auto start?08:58
haftishCrowler: i can't find it "testparm"?08:59
Crowlerlisa_ rm08:59
Crowlerlisa_ or rd for folder08:59

lisa_Crowler, rd for folder?> what yiou mean?09:02
lisa_where are programs listed to start at boot?09:03
Crowlerlisa_ rm removes file(s), rd - folders09:03
lisa_Crowler, which folder do I remove?09:03
Crowlerlisa_ i dont know. i dont even have ubuntu09:03
lisa_Crowler, :P09:04
Crowlerlisa_ but probably you should remove what you created09:04
Seveaslisa_, depends on what's autostarting. Unfortunately there are several ways for things to 'autostart'09:04
qazokmdoes anyone know where the exit to route 1 is?09:04
bogdomaniahi guys, quick Q : just installed apache2,php5, etc.. my router has port 80 open, but i cant connect from outside to the server.. ufw is inactive.. sudo netstat -an | grep "LISTEN " looks good..09:04
Seveasqazokm, route del -net 109:05
bogdomaniado i need to configure something else?09:05
Seveasbogdomania, did you forward port 80 to iyour server?09:05
rileyplisa  settings>session and startup09:05
bogdomaniaSeveas, im a n00b, how do i do that ?09:05
Seveasdepends on the router, read its manual :-)09:05
bogdomaniau ment to conf. the router itself?09:06
Seveasbogdomania, yeah09:06
lisa_Ubuntu have any text editors that allow many open text files in tabs?09:06
rileyplisa what do you wish to stop starting as some programs are not in the settings manager09:06
Seveaslisa_, gedit09:07
bogdomaniathat's done, moreover, on another win7 machine, running wamp(lamp for win) i can connect from outside, on the same router09:07
lisa_Seveas, I typed this command earlier, . mkdir ~/.config/autostart; cd ~/.config/autostart; ln -s /usr/share/applications/rainlendar2.desktop .09:07
lisa_Seveas, so now Rainlendar starts auto09:07
Seveaslisa_, in that case: rm ~/.config/autostart/rainlendar2.desktop09:07
rileyplisa  nano can do tabs too! and its a terminal editor09:07
lisa_Seveas, ty :)09:07
haftishlisa:mc09:07
lisa_rileyp, ok ill try gedit first and then see09:07
Seveasif you want terminal editors with tabs: vim09:08
Seveasbut that's not suitable for new users :)09:08
rileypnovim or vi they are both evil09:08
Seveasvim is awesome. But has a learning "curve" that's almost vertical :)09:09
lisa_Seveas, gedit didnt work, i forgot to mention the files are .rtf09:09
lisa_gedit says it cannot open the rtf files09:09
Seveasrileyp, http://bc.tech.coop/blog/images/curves.jpg09:09
rileypseveas no vim or vi they are both pure evil   ...lol09:09
Crowlernot that theyre really evil. they just dont reflect on hardware platform they were ported to09:09
Seveaslisa_, hmm yes, that would be important to mention :)09:09
Seveasdoesn't abiword do tabs these days? I know openoffice doesn't...09:10
lisa_Seveas, hehe.  so what can I do now?09:10
Seveastry abiword :)09:10
Seveasno guarantees about tabs though, haven't used it in ages09:10
haftishCrowler: i have install pythhon-samba but still it is not working?09:10
lisa_installing abiword now09:11
lisa_Seveas, surely there must be a text editor I can use that supports multiple tabs?09:11
Crowlerhaftish usually in package based distros there are so called "task" packages09:12
lisa_anyone know if I can see all windows open?09:12
Crowlerhaftish try to look for "filesharing"09:12
Seveaslisa_, text editor yes, rtf is not text, it's a marked up document09:12
lisa_Seveas, I want a way to colour text and make bold etc and support multiple tabs.09:13
Seveaslisa_, I understand :) I'm just not sure there is something that does both09:13
spych102lisa_ to see all windows running in Ubuntu press the Win key and W09:13
bastidrazorlisa_: scite  can do it all.09:13
haftishCrowler: then i find that filesharing i make it enable09:14
Seveasbastidrazor, scite does rtf?09:14
lisa_Abiword doesnt support tabs :(09:14
Crowlerhaftish uhum. it should bring all that is needed as dependencies09:14
lotuspsychjewhats the best gnucash replacement?09:14
spych102lisa_, gedit supports tabs09:15
Seveasspych102, but not rtf09:15
spych102oh...09:15
lisa_spych102, how can I see and switch between windows?09:15
bastidrazorSeveas: yes rtf too09:15
lisa_spych102, but gedit wouldnt open my rtf files :(09:15
haftishCrowler:  i know that but let me tell you one thing  iam not familar with ubuntu thats why iam asking such qoustion09:16
Seveaslisa_, bastidrazor had a good suggestion there: scite apparently does rtf and tabs09:16
lisa_bastidrazor, scite? ok i install now,. brb09:16
Crowlerhaftish dont worry, it works same way everywhere09:16
anwayahey..sorry if i'm interrupting , I want to install python 2.5 on Ubuntu11.10..However apt-get says "package python2.5 has no installation  candidate"..I've done update and upgrade . Could any one tell me how to handle the problem please.?09:17
Crowlerhaftish you end up with lots of trash you'll never use, but you get everything working as a repay09:17
spych102lisa_ if you press the Windows Key + W it should show all windows and then you can , double click on the one you want.09:17
lotuspsychje!python09:17
Seveasanwaya, 11.10 has a newer python already, why do you want the old version?09:18
lisa_scite doesnt work :(  it opened my rtf files all code like messy text09:18
haftishCrowler:  still not09:18
lotuspsychje!info python09:18
lisa_spych102, cool09:18
ubottupython is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python09:18
ubottupython (source: python-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.7.2-7ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 161 kB, installed size 768 kB09:18
anwayafor a software development i'm trying to work on..09:18
Seveasanwaya, and why do you specifically need that older version? Anything that runs on 2.5 will run on 2.6 and 2.7 too09:19
Crowlerhaftish if it still not working after installing "task" package, im out of ideas09:19
lisa_bastidrazor, any other ideas...scite opened my rtf files, but the text looks like this:09:19
anwayaApparently not...This project specifically requires 2.5...:(09:19
terminatea09:19
pglodanwaya, try out virtualenv09:20
terminateanyone can help me about exploit web09:20
lisa_ouch.. pressing window key + W crashed my ubuntu :(09:20
pglodit lets you create self-contained python environments so you don't have to install 2.5 globally-- that might break things09:20
Seveasanwaya, that's a pain. You'll need to install from source into your homedir and keep that version well away from /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin so you don't upset ubuntu09:20
Seveasanwaya, and yeah, what pglod said09:20
haftishCrowler:  iam in pogress09:21
haftishCrowler:  i will tell you when iam finish this one09:21
anwayak..Thanks a lot.09:21
lisa_scite didnt work... when I open my rtf files all i see is this... {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang3081{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Courier New;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Courier New;}{\f2\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}}09:21

lisa_anyone know of a text editor which supports multiple tabs + rtf files?09:22
JelloPoplisa_: What is a rtf file?09:22
Seveaslisa_, ah, so bastidrazor was technically correct but useless :) You're now seeing the source of the rtf file09:22
haftishCrowler:   still it is not working?>09:22
Crowlerlisa_ wine+office09:23
JelloPoplisa_: have understanding of linux ur getting specific09:23
__Alex_JelloPop: Rich text format iirc09:23
Crowlerlisa_ or wordpad09:23
Seveas__Alex_, correct :)09:23
JelloPop__Alex_:  is this supported in linux last time I checked it was a ways off09:23
lisa_it doesnt support making text bold or colored either09:23
lisa_so im back to square one :LP09:24
SeveasJelloPop, oh, openoffice and abiword can read it just fine. But neither do documents-in-tabs, which is the feature lisa_ is looking for :)09:24
lisa_Seveas, i wonder why nobody created a text editor for Ubuntu that supports multipe tabs and ability to make text colored or bold.  many such programs in windows but none on Linux?09:24
Crowlerhaftish sometimes services do not start automatically. either start them manually or reboot09:25
JelloPopSeveas: what about printing text in this format??09:25
Seveaslisa_, well, linux people like their multi-window applications more I guess09:25
lisa_JelloPop, its my first day, i only installed ubuntu today:)09:25
Crowlerlisa_ rtf is windows format09:25
haftishCrowler:   thanks it works now09:25
lisa_i really need to find a text editor that does what I need.09:25
SeveasJelloPop, works A-ok09:25
lisa_Seveas, one may exist but we dont know which one :P09:26
haftishCrowler:   thank you  so much09:26
Crowlerhaftish np09:26
=== Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk
Seveaslisa_, indeed :)09:26
JelloPopSeveas: lots of advance since 97 sorry last time I had to deal with college homework and a windows network printer.. lol09:26
SeveasJelloPop, rofl :)09:27
spych102lisa_, have you tried TEA Text Editor?09:27
Seveasspych102, tea can't write rtf09:27
lisa_spych102, ill try it now... btw, can I press an icon on Ubuntu and it shows all programs open?09:28
spych102doh09:28
lisa_so I then select which program?  Alt+Tab is hurting my wrist lol09:28
Seveaslisa_, windows_key + w09:28
lisa_Seveas, I did Windows key + w, but Ubuntu crashed09:28
Seveashmm, that's not good. Which version?09:29
lisa_and froze up09:29
lisa_Seveas, i just installed today, 11.1009:29
lisa_maybe my video drivers?09:29
RejoI have an upstart script for Etherpad Lite, but it's not recognized (e.g. it's not listed when running "service --status-all"). Any idea's?09:29
lisa_how can I install latest nvidia drivers?09:29
SeveasI found 11.10 rather unreliable and quickly went to 12.0409:29
Seveas!nvidia | lisa_09:29
ubottulisa_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto09:29
lisa_Seveas, 12.04 is out?09:29
Rejohttp://pastebin.com/CVQPtPkX09:29
benzaldehydeLisa make sure you close down X server to install the drivers...09:31
lisa_i wonder why Ubuntu website didnt offer me 12.04?09:32
oCeanlisa_: because 12.04 is still beta09:32
lisa_benzaldehyde, i dont understand09:32
lisa_oCean, so 12.04 is better you say?09:32
oCeanlisa_: no, 12.04 is beta, that means still testing. Not stable yet09:32
Crowlerno, he says its beta version09:32
lisa_oCean, ok09:33
scienteslisa_, the developerment of FOSS softwre, inc. Ubuntu GNU/Linux, generally all done in the open09:33
Xabsterfeature richer, but not done09:33
Xabsterthats normally what beta means09:33
lisa_ok09:33
scientesso while you CAN install the very latest version, it isn't always a good idea, as it hasn't been testes as much09:33
lisa_matt_symes_, you coming or goin? hehe09:33
lisa_scientes, ok09:33
scientesand it isn't designed for general consumption, like some debugging stuff is turned on, that gets turned off in the final version09:33
matt_symes_lisa_ trying to get a cloak09:34
scientesthat said lisa_ , i am running 12.04 right now09:34
SeveasRejo, that script looks reasonable to me (though I don't know upstart that well).09:34
lisa_ill stick withh 11 :)09:34
SeveasRejo, but you've misread the 'service' manpage09:34
Seveas       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. This  option  only  calls  status  for  sysvinit  jobs,09:34
Seveas       upstart jobs can be queried in a similar manner with initctl list'.09:34
Seveasyou'll want initctl list I guess :)09:34
lisa_is there a way to get a bar run across the bottom of screen which I can click on to open different programs that are running?09:35
Seveaslisa_, in ubuntu that bar is at the left hand side and cannot be moved09:35
scienteslisa_, so its important to note that even though a version is released, it continues to change, with bug fixes and more imp. security updates09:35
RejoSeveas: If that is true, it's still not recognized as a service.09:35
scientesbut no new features09:36
SeveasRejo, 'initctl list' doesn't show it?09:36
rizalhay, someone can helping me!!!09:36
RejoSeveas: Nope.09:36
scienteshowever, also take note, that the various programs that ubuntu packages are all on their own release cycles, so while some projects like GNOME are syncronized, other are not09:36
SeveasRejo, odd, Does 'telinit q' help?09:36
RejoSeveas: See:09:36

lisa_Seveas, for example I now run xchat, which takes up the whole screen.  I dont even see the left bar.  Whats an easy way to switch between program? besides Win key + W?09:36
scienteslike in ubuntu, universe packages from debian can be buggy and out of date09:36
scientesesp with LTS releases09:37
scienteslisa_, metacity --replace09:37
rileyplisa alt+tab09:37
RejoSeveas: So, the file is there, but it just doesn't seem to be recognized.09:37
SeveasRejo, root-owned, mode 644?09:37
scienteslisa_, or if you can only get a terminal in a console (ctlr-alt-f1), DESKTOP=:0 metacity --replace09:37
rizal......09:37
lisa_im installing nvidia drivers, maybe that will fix the Win key + W09:37
RejoSeveas:09:37
CrowlerRejo shouldnt it be made executable?09:38
lisa_scientes, whats metacity --replace?09:38
RejoYes. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root09:38
spych102lisa_, yes the nvidia drivers should do the trick09:38
RejoCrowler: Nope.09:38
rizal......09:38
scienteslisa_, if you window management crashes for some reason09:38
RejoCrowler: Sure about that.09:38
rizalhay09:38
RejoIt's not a file that is executable, it's read by upstart proceses09:38
lisa_if ubuntu crashes and nothing seems to work.. instead of having to turn of laptop power button, what can I do?09:38
scienteslisa_, like if you cant select windows, but buttons still work, try either compiz --replace, or metacity --replace09:38
SeveasRejo, all I can think of then is a syntax error. Didn't see one though. Anything in the logfiles after telinit q that indicates it has tried to read it?09:38
rileyplisa ctrl+alt_f109:39
lisa_scientes, but nothing works, frozen screen,  happened 3 times today09:39
scienteslisa_, you can go to console (ctrl-alt-f1) and /etc/init.d/lightdm restart09:39
lisa_rileyp, ok ill try ctrl+alt_f1 if it happens again09:39
RejoSeveas: Good thing.09:39
RejoMar 25 11:39:16 trillian init: /etc/init/etherpad-lite.conf:32: Unterminated quoted string09:39
rileyplisa ctrl+alt+f1 sorry09:39
RejoThat is the problem most likely!09:39
SeveasRejo, ah!09:39
scienteslisa_, can you paste lspci here paste.ubuntu.com09:39
RejoSeveas: Thanks!09:39
lisa_rileyp, you said ctrl+alt_f1 :)09:39
scienteslisa_, &**output of "lspci" in console09:40
oCeanRejo: your author line misses the closing "09:40
rileyplisa and the a sudo reboot should get you rolling again09:40
Seveasde nada. Glad I could do something for someone who's doing so much for us :)09:40
scientesnono, /etc/init.d/lightdm is enought for most crashes09:40

lisa_brb09:40
rileyp*the then09:40
rizalOoo....09:40
scientes*/etc/init.d/lightdm restart09:40
rileyplisa you can do a alt + printscreen +k to restart the gdm09:41
rileyplisa rather than a reboot09:41
scientesrileyp, no you cant09:41
rizal......09:41
bastidrazorrizal: is the channel suppose to guess your question?09:41
scientesrileyp, that just triggers the OOM killer, its totally wrong to suggest that09:41
rizalbastidrazor : yes09:41
scientesrileyp, ctrl-alt-backspace use to work, but ubuntu doesn't enable that anymore09:41
rileypoh ok i thought it restarted x09:41
scientes*ctrl-shift-backspace09:42
bastidrazorrizal: 23 is your answer. best of luck.09:42
scientesrileyp, i've been learning that that is a common misunderstanding, which is very unfourtunate09:42
RejooCean, Seveas: fixed the typo, still there is another problem, but i'll try to figure that one out myself - thanks for all the help09:42

lisa_i pressed ctrl+alt+f1 and got stuck, didnt know how to get out of it09:43
scientesthe OOM killer generally kills firefox when it goes off on me....09:43
Jordan_Uscientes: rileyp: alt+sysrq+k kills whatever is on the current VT. If X is on the current VT then X will be killed, returning you to GDM/LightDM/FooDM/.09:43
lisa_what am supposed to type in ctrl+alt+f1 ?09:43
scientesJordan_U, that is TOTALLY wrong09:43
rileypscientes: I used to use sudo service gdm restart is thre a new command I can use to stop start or restart the gdm (i use xfce4)09:43
spych102lisa_, try ctrl+alt+f709:44
rizalbastidrazor : OK09:44
scientesrileyp, service lightdm restart09:44
geek0091trying to use an ubuntu server as gateway, unable to resolve hostnames when connected straight to modem?09:44
lisa_if my ubuntu freezes and i press ctrl+alt+f1 , what do I type?09:44
geek0091but can ping modem ip09:44
scientesgeek0091, use pppoeconf package09:44
rileypscientes:  can I use service lghtdm stop as well?09:44
scienteslisa_, you log in with your username and packge09:44
JelloPop Wow what a night :)09:45
lisa_when I installed ubuntu I chose to encrypt HOME.  How can I double check that its actually encrypted?09:45
Crowlerregardless of X, the video driver itself have to be loaded and started first09:45
scientesrileyp, yeah, its just that ubuntu switched from gdm to lightdm09:45
lisa_scientes, I did but it just went back to a CLI09:45
geek0091scientes: want to use raw /etc/network/interfaces config?09:45
AlanBelllisa_: log in as another user and try and peek in your home directory09:45
Seveaslisa_, create another user. Log out, log in as that user. Try to access *your* homedirectory09:45
scienteslisa_, "mount" command, will show ecryptfs, otherwise log in as root and check that way09:45
scientesgeek0091, pppoeconf uses that09:45
lisa_im confused :P09:45
Jordan_Uscientes: Why do you claim that it's wrong?09:45
lisa_scientes, ok brb09:45
scientesgeek0091, it just helps autoconfigure interfaces09:45
geek0091scientes: is it in default install of server edit.?09:46
scienteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key09:46
Seveaslisa_, 'mount' should show a line like this: /home/dennis/.Private on /home/dennis type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_check_dev_ruid,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,ecryptfs_sig=...,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=...)09:46
scientesJordan_U, oh sorry09:46
rileyplisa you can use any command you want eg sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -h now or ls or cd or dmesg or whatever09:46
Crowlerlisa_ hope you backed up all your stuff somewhere safe...09:46
lisa_Seveas, yes I see something like that09:46
scienteslisa_, then your stuff is encrypted09:47
lisa_Crowler, i only installed Ubuntu today so I got nothing on there really yet09:47
lotuspsychjewhats the best gnucash alternative09:47
scienteslisa_, with ecryptfs09:47
rileypscientes:  thanks fro the tip Ive wanted to know for quite a while...09:47
scienteslotuspsychje, gnucash09:47
lotuspsychjeoO09:47
lisa_all i need now is to find a mulie tab text editor that supports colour text and bold etc09:47
lisa_multie09:47
scientesrileyp, REISUB, is there generally suggested order on hard lockup09:47
scientesctrl-alt-sysrq-b is very useful09:48
rizalIm use linux gnacktrak, and wifi not support in my linux, can someone help me???09:48
Jordan_U!backtrack | rizal09:48
ubotturizal: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition09:48
JelloPoplisa_: before u get to wild slow down and do clonezilla dont let people push u into a system crash!09:48
Crowlerrizal install ubuntu09:48
lisa_can I convert rtf files to text files so I can try gedit?09:48
scientesrizal, pastebin lspci for me09:48
lisa_JelloPop, where I get clonezilla?09:49
scientesrizal, its probably that you are missing propritary broadcom drivers09:49
Crowlerlisa_ you'll lose all formatting09:49
lisa_nviodia drivers are installed, i wonder if Window key + w will crash.. too scared to try hehe09:49
scienteslisa_, open rtf with LibreOffice09:49
JelloPoplisa_: wants to know how to back up system with clonzilla09:50
scienteslisa_, it wont crash now09:50
lisa_scientes, yes that works but LO dont support multie tabs09:50
spych102lisa_, fingers crossed...09:50
scienteslisa_, however with nvidia you loose the pretty ctrl-alt-f1-6 terminals09:50
lisa_scientes, maybe I can open rtf in LO and save as text?09:50
scientes(called Kernel Mode Setting KMS)09:50
scienteslisa_, hmmm, maybe, but don't you want the formattting?09:50
JelloPoplisa_: stop and ask how to back up system not push forward.. this could be a mess09:51
scienteslisa_, you might be interested in !lyx09:51
Crowlerso many helpers...09:51
Jordan_Ulisa_: You can use Libre Office to output to plain text, or use "unrtf".09:52
scientesCrowler, i guess its only like this (at all) on the weekend09:52
scientes....09:52
lisa_does gedit support doc?09:52
lisa_JelloPop, ok09:52
scienteslisa_, gedit ONLY supports raw text09:52
lisa_JelloPop,how? :)09:52
scienteslisa_, and since .doc is a binary format, no09:52
scienteslisa_, but .doc is very supported by LibreOffice09:52
lisa_scientes, do you know any ubuntu text editor that supports multie tabs + colouring and bolding text?09:53
lisa_JelloPop, clonezilla is best to backupo my ubuntu?09:53
sacarlsonscientes: lisa_: I know gedit supports bold text and I think different text sizes, not sure what format it supports09:53
lisa_sacarlson, can i colour text?09:54
scientessacarlson, thats all about formatting flat source files, it doesn't read markup09:54
sacarlsonlisa_: I'm not sure09:54
hydrox24lisa_: can I be bold and suggest something like VI/VIM? It has a huge learning curve though09:54
hydrox24*gvim* that is...09:54
JelloPoplisa_: here http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php09:54
lisa_JelloPop, ok thanks09:54
lisa_brb gone to backup :)09:55
sacarlsonscientes: ya that markup thing is cool,  you might be right09:55
arandlisa_: No, I think it would be tricky to find an editor with tabs and in-format colouring, gedit can do syntax colouring, but the file is still plain text underneath.09:55
scientesagain, try LyX09:56
scientesapt-get install lyx09:56
JelloPopCan anyone tell me why no one suggested backup fill system???09:56
scientesyou will end up with the prettiest documents you have ever seen09:56
lisa_by the way , gedit doesnt do bold text09:56
scienteslisa_, ^09:56
scientesgedit is NOT the tool09:56
lisa_scientes, yep09:56
karambamy sound applet has bugged,now i cant change volume can someone help me?09:57
scientesLibreOffice is the standard WYSIWYG09:57
scientesand LyX is fundamentally differn't, buy way awesome09:57
scientesand i think makes more sense in most cases09:57
lisa_JelloPop, so I burn clonezilla onto CD and boot CD and backup ubuntu?09:57
lisa_scientes, i wish LibreOffice supported multi tab like gedit does09:57
scienteslisa_, what do you mean?09:58
Crowlerkaramba restart it. if it doesnt help, restart sound server. if still no luck - reboot09:58
JelloPoplisa_: or usb drive...09:58
scienteslisa_, you can set indentations with the stuff in the top ruler09:58
scienteslisa_, just like in Word09:58
spych102karamba, can you move the slider?09:58
lisa_scientes, multi tabs, i mean many different text files open at same time in different tabs09:58
scienteslisa_, ahhh, LyX supports that IIRC09:58
lisa_JelloPop, ok ty09:58
lisa_whats IIRC mean?09:59
bunny69how do you reverse mount --bind?09:59
scientesIf I Recall Correctly09:59
sacarlsonlisa_: I was wrong you can't even do bolt or change font size in gedit, it was all an elusion09:59
lisa_scientes, ah hehe09:59
lisa_sacarlson, :)09:59
scientesbunny69, mount --bind doesn't have a reverse09:59
Crowlerlisa_ urbandictionary.com09:59

scientesthe 1600 x 1600 itsaws10:01
Crowlerkaramba exit it, or kill it, then start again10:01

AsterWell, my lappy screen is 1600*900 or 900*160010:02
scientesapparently 2048 in this version10:02

AniMaLiToS_guys can anyone help me to install loic in my ubuntu???10:35
scientesand can do what lisa wants to do10:35
Onkeltem"An error has occurred. Our engineers have been notified and we will work to fix this." - this is what I see at Ubuntu One. Any ideas wtf it wants?10:35
scienteshowever, lyx is pretty cool for what it does, most beautiful documents i've ever created was with LyX10:35
WVM6I installed Ubuntu and then updated a lot of stuff and then my display got weird10:36
Crowlergeek0091 depends on if you want inet on gw too10:36
scientes"Our engineers have been notified and we will work to fix this." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA10:36
WVM6It is not filling my monitor. It is calling my display Laptop, which it's not.10:36
scientesi mean, its amazing how fast bugs get fixed in FOSS10:37
scientesincluding Ubuntu10:37
WVM6And I don't know what to do10:37
Crowlergeek0091 bridge for no inet, routing for inet on both10:37
scientesbut its certainly not a given10:37
scientesthe genious, is that if you need to, you can always fix the problem yourself, which just isn't possible with other operating systems10:38
spych102WVM6, have you got 2 displays?10:38
WVM6No just one.10:38
WVM6Like I said, everything was fine when I installed, but updating stuff chagned something.10:38
spych102have you installed any new drivers?10:38
geek0091crowler: then routing i presume...any good starting place to figure out?10:38
arunkumar413hi, i want to make gnome 3 shell themes. can anybody tell me how to start10:39
Crowlergeek0091 no. and i will not say "man route" either.10:39
mernilioHi all! My name is merilio, i come from sweden, and hope we can get along in our ways.10:40
WVM6I went to the upper right button (not sure what it's technically called) and it said there were updates, so I got a lot of them. So yes, I probably did.10:40
scientesCrowler, try ip route first10:40
bazhang!ot | mernilio10:40
ubottumernilio: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!10:40
WVM6Hello! I want to go to Sweden...10:40
mernilioWVM6: no sexy chick for you tho!10:40
bazhangWVM6, lets stay on topic of ubuntu support10:40
Crowlergeek0091 some ppl get concept of routing on the fly, some never get it10:40
bazhangmernilio, thats enough10:40
WVM6Spych102, you still there?10:41
spych102WVM6, yes10:41
geek0091crowler: I understand the concept, just the inpractice im stumbling my way through for the first time10:41
scientesgeek0091, you probably need NAT, and to enable ip forwarding10:41
merniliobazhang: its non topic, but they are everywere here.10:41
spych102WVM6, i'm thinking10:41
WVM6Thank you. Sorry.10:41
spych102no problem10:41
scientesgeek0091, if you dont need NAT, all you need to do it turn on ip forwarding, generally10:41
Crowlergeek0091 thats how everyone ends up the first time10:41
geek0091crowler: exactly, I feel like im losing my virginity all over again...10:42

merniliounfortuanlly do they display a hatrige towards linuxnerds .. like myself :-(10:42
Crowlerscientes routing10:43
scientesa general purpose computer, is exactly that, a general purpose computer, it can do alot of stuff10:43
spych102WVM6, it sounds like you installed a restricted driver10:43
scienteslike routing based on the time of day, if you are so inclined10:43
arunkumar413hi, i want to make gnome 3 shell themes. can anybody tell me how to start10:43
spych102WVM6, was it ATI/AMD or NVIDIA?10:43
scientesCrowler, geek0091 so you still havn't explained what problem you are having that requires you guys pretending that the problem is difficult10:43
WVM6ATI10:44
Crowlerim not, but he asks for learning sources, and i cant offer him anything easy10:44
scientesahh gotcha10:44
scientesyeah, documentation of routing sucks ass10:44
scientesand its all so ugly10:44

Douglasrileyp, does it matter if the USB i have it on supports USB 2.0 or not? I'm 99 % certain that my USB does(but you never know, it's a generic one).10:49

CrowlerDouglas your usb port may sit on built-in extender, which prevents bios from detecting drive at boot time10:51
soreauMobileAster: Are you sure the file system isn't mounted ro? (read only)10:51

soreauMobileAster: Your prompt has a #?10:52
MobileAsterSoreau, I don't see why it would.10:52
Douglasdo you think there are differences between usb ports, no standardization?10:52
MobileAsterIt does.10:52
c3ssocan somebody tell me in which package the file-open file-save dialog is?10:52

geek0091ok, still here scientest?10:53
geek0091or crowler?10:53
MobileAsterSoreau, how would I have edited it if it were?10:53
soreauMobileAster: Check the output of 'mount'10:53

spych102wvm6, ok10:58
MobileAsterSoreau, /dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)10:59
Crowlergeek0091 you just have to assume what is what, limit dhcp to lan only and add proper lines to rounig tables on gw10:59
soreauMobileAster: I'm not sure why it wont let you save it then.. compare the output of 'groups' to 'ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf' maybe11:00

pangolinAster, watch the language please and do /ignore JOIN PARTS QUITS12:40
llutz_monser: isn't it LDLIBS?12:40

scott_zproblem solved.. anyone want to know how?13:00
sacarlsonscott_z: ya me13:00
scott_zI started by reading this.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=174568113:01
viktorljt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/899078/13:01
scott_zthe problem seemed to be with the dell wifi card (which i wasnt using anyway as I have a usb card)13:01
scott_zso I yanked the dell card out and bingo....13:01
scott_zso simple13:02
scott_zthere seems to be a driver support issue with the dell card. alot of people are having it.13:02
ljtviktor: you did restart your system after installation, right?13:02
sacarlsonscott_z: why would you have a usb wifi installed if you didn't use it?13:02
dougwiserwhats with the new desktop stuff in oneirc13:03
scott_zi use the usb. i was not using the onboard dell card13:03
scott_zi yanked the onboard card out13:03
viktorljt, it was already installed, but i did did reboot after trying to install, also purged the fglrx driver that wasn't working13:03
sacarlsonscott_z: oh onboard as you disabled in bios then13:04
viktorljt, i did add "nomodeset" to the grub, can that be related to the issue?13:04
scott_zfrom opening and closing the laptop the wires for the onboard card that went to the antenna where cut. it was cheaper to buy a usb card than to replace the wires.13:04
scott_znot diabled, physically removed it!13:04
sacarlsonscott_z:  on board must mean pcmci card then13:05
scott_zI had to take the access panel off , remove 2 screws and pull it out of the slot.13:06
sacarlsonscott_z: oh you could have just disabled it but that also works13:06
scott_zi was tired of messing around, when i do it i go all out13:06
scott_zfunny thing though, now when i do an rfkill list there is nothing in that list. it does not seem to see my usb wifi.13:07
sacarlsonscott_z: no I think rfkill is only supported in onboard devices13:08
scott_zdid not even thing of the bios.. silly me13:08
scott_zit is so nice to be back online in linux, windows sux. Wish i could get rid of it all together.13:08

synergizmhey, im pretty new to ubuntu so here comes a nooby question: i have deactivated the pointer acceleration using the terminal. (xinput ...) now i was wondering how i could make ubuntu use those commands at startup. im using 11.10. alrdy tried just putting the command into a text file and adding this to the startupapplications. so far it doesnt work :(13:09
decksmasherdownload iso burn it to cd with iso burner make sure pc boots fronm cd put it in and wait for the magic to happen13:10
timoharlinghello everyone13:10
scott_zdont want to burn it. but thanks, i will try what ikonia suggested.13:11
timoharlingwhat are the best apps for IT admins?13:11
auronandacetimoharling: that is a vague and broad question13:12
synergizmso in essence my question: how to make ubuntu run commands at startup ^^13:12
auronandace!upstart | synergizm13:13
ubottusynergizm: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/13:13
timoharlingok nevermind13:13
viktorljt, maybe this is relevant? kms is disabled, and radeon seems to be initialized13:13
viktorljt, srry, forgot to paste what might be relevant http://paste.ubuntu.com/899095/13:14
synergizmauronandace: i rly have to install sth for that? i mean i just wanna remove pointeracceleration.. its just 2 lines in the terminal13:14
timoharlingwhats the best rdp13:15
=== ajay_sd_ is now known as ajay_sd
auronandacesynergizm: upstart is what ubuntu already uses, you don't need to install anything13:15
timoharlingI just made ubuntu the only OS on my macbook!13:17
auronandacesynergizm: when you say you put the commands in a text file, did you make it a script? did you make it executable too?13:17
synergizmauronandace: nope and nope :S13:17
viktorljt, are you still there?13:18
synergizmauronandace: do i have to configure upstart using the terminal?13:18
auronandacesynergizm: startup applications isn't going to know what to do with a text file13:18
synergizmauronandace: yeah kinda figured it might not ^^13:19
timoharlingwhats the best remote desktop viewer guys?13:19
synergizmauronandace: so how do i make it a skript and executable? btw startup application part of upstart?13:19
auronandacesynergizm: i must admit i don't know much about upstart (aside from the fact that ubuntu uses it and it is different to sysv init)13:19
auronandacesynergizm: you need the shebang at the top of the text file #/usr/bin/bash (or something like that)13:20
=== ajay_sd__ is now known as ajay_sd
ljtviktor: yes sorry, nomodeset is often the preferred option but if you haven't already - perhaps try without it13:20
auronandacesynergizm: then you need to chmod +x the text file13:20
ljtviktor: also, have you used this card with ubuntu before? (and had it working?)13:21
timoharlingwow thanks for the help guys13:22
synergizmauronandace: cant fins usr/bin/bash13:22
synergizm*d13:22
auronandacesynergizm: sorry, the shebang is #! /bin/bash13:22
viktorljt, i've had difficulties with lucid as well (using oneiric now) it only worked reasonably well under hardy (proprietary driver). You mean boot without nomodeset? i can't, nothing but black screen if i do..13:23
timoharlingit was stupid of me to think a chat channel about ubuntu would have nice people that would help13:24
ikoniatimoharling: you need to ask questions to get help13:24
ikoniatimoharling: you also need to do it without attitude,13:24
ljtviktor: right ok, check this out if you haven't already: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch13:24
timoharlingi did it 5 times without attitude13:24
ikoniatimoharling: what is the question ?13:25
auronandacetimoharling: i use teamviewer (not open source though)13:25
timoharlingi need a good remote desktop program13:25
synergizmauronandace: found it but im to stupid to open it 0_o shouldnt gedit be able to ?13:25
ikoniatimoharling: ok - are you connecting to ?13:25
auronandacesynergizm: open what? you add #! /bin/bash to the top of your text file to make it a bash script13:26
timoharlingto windows servers and collation servers13:26
ikoniatimoharling: there is an rdp application13:26
ikoniatimoharling: that way you don't have to use a non-native windows application on the servers to connect to13:26
synergizmauronandace: ahh allright "#! /bin/bash" like that?13:26
auronandacesynergizm: yes (obviously no quotes when you write it in the file)13:27
viktorljt, i have :) exept, i think, for the "more aggresive" recipe that purges both driver instead for just the amd catalyst unthing.13:27
auronandacesynergizm: it should always be the top line on its own13:27
iLogicalI am getting this error, any ideas?13:28
iLogicalhttp://pastebin.com/4RmaEWNA13:28
synergizmauronandace: allright ty so far gonna try it out now :)13:28
timoharlingim an IT tech and i know how to do this in windows but i really want to learn how to replace my windows work machine with ubuntu but i need to figure out was to accomplish  the usual things i do with my windows machine13:28
ikoniatimoharling: ok, so what's the problem ?13:28
auronandacesynergizm: after you done that and saved it then you need to make it executable13:28
auronandacesynergizm: open a terminal where you have the file stored then do: chmod +x nameoffile13:29
ravendo you know any tool similar to "mairlist" for virtual radio studio?13:29
synergizmauronandace: i activated executable in the properties should do the same?13:30

viktorljt, no prob, one more thing though, apt-get recommends that i install additional package "linux-firmware", but it has no installation candidate, if i google for repo i get dell sites. so you think it's just useful for dell, and how do i get the repo?13:37

ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot14:26

munBasically I have a live cd as software source when I'm using a live usb. How do I change the source to usb?15:53
escottbjrohan, didn't send you the bug report. im not sure what is in it. I would suggest the possible causes are (a) a mismatch between your video driver and the kernel (if you got a new kernel during the upgrade) (b) some other bug in the upgraded packages (c) or something funky in your user config files. I would boot the broken gui, ctl-alt-f1 over to a terminal, login, "export DISPLAY=:0" and run glxinfo > glxinfo.output and then reboot to15:54
escott recovery so you can send us that file15:54

munIs it?16:04
munOK. Please bare with my typing. I'm on my phone16:04
oApocalypselol16:04
remoteCTRLyes it is, because it means that your package system is inconsistent, have you been tinkering arround manually, like deleting packages without removing them?16:04
htmlgiftedhas any one had this problem with a wireless laptop?16:05
munIt's a fresh live usb made in windows16:05
poincare101any photo sharing applications/services for linux?16:05
rileyphtmlgifted: well enlighten us?16:05
munUltimately I just want to repair my grub..16:05
remoteCTRLmun that is fine, i hope that rebooting will remove the problem, is the installation on the stick persistent?16:05
remoteCTRLmun grub?16:06
remoteCTRLmun  so you haev booted a broken system with a live cd in order to repair grub, or what is actually the issue?16:06
rileypmun how about sudo update-grub /dev/sda16:06
htmlgifted i need some insight into why I have to manually delete my connection and disable connections before a 10 sec restart..then re connect after wireless devices are found16:06
munYeah it already has ubuntu installed. But recently I keep getting the hd0 out of disk error before grub16:07
zykotic10rileyp: you need to chroot for that to work!!!16:07
remoteCTRLrileyp: currently his package management is in distress...16:07
remoteCTRLmun out of disk??16:07
munYeah. Then it gives me grub rescue16:07
munBut I don't know what to do with yhat16:08
remoteCTRLzykotic10: not only do you need to chroot but also do you need to bind mount proc, sys and temp into the chrooted installation in order to have grub do its job16:08
Sidewinder1"Out of disk" would be a whole different issue.16:08
zykotic10remoteCTRL: which is all documented in the !grub2 chroot option ;)16:08
remoteCTRLmun i dont know what out of disk means, i never heard that and i doubt that it is english :)16:08
rileyphtmlgifted:  i need some insight into why I have to manually delete my connection and disable connections before a 10 sec restart..then re connect after wireless devices are found ......er....we dont know why are you doing it?16:09
munNow I've rebooted. When I run update I get an error saying failed to fetch cdrom://16:09
munIt's one of the other sources16:09
remoteCTRLmun open the software center please16:09
diverdudeI am using a PPA for php 5.4 which works great. However, when i try to install php5-imagick i get this error: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1918032487    Is that because php5-imagick is not included in that PPA?16:10
jostenljt: I tried the command you gave me.16:10
remoteCTRLmun is that computer of yours connected to the net?16:10
munDone16:10
munYes16:10
xanguadiverdude: if you have a problem with a ppa, contact with the author of the ppa16:10
munActually16:10
munI can't open it16:10
remoteCTRLmun click "edit" and then click "software sources"16:10
htmlgiftedi lose connection during use and when I start after a few hours shut down.16:10
diverdudexangua: i do not know if its the ppa thats the problem16:10
jribdiverdude: apt-cache policy php5-imagick16:10
munThe report belongs to a package that is not installed16:10
remoteCTRLmun you cant?  getting the error about the package management again?16:10
remoteCTRLmun ah one single package?16:11
munI'm not sure. I get that when I open the software center16:11
munIRC on phone is a pain...16:11
=== flood is now known as _flood
remoteCTRLmun ok, you cannot apt-get install -f because you diont have the sources, and you cannot fire up software center because your packae management is in distress, right? :D16:11
munMy fingers are probably too fat..16:12
munSeems like it16:12
diverdudejrib: this is the result: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/146166188216:12
jostenanyone know about permissions and user accounts?16:12
remoteCTRLmun well that would be a deadlock if you could not manually edit this16:12
munIs the live usb creation method for windows reliable16:12
remoteCTRLtype sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list16:12
rileypmun yes16:13
munDone16:13
remoteCTRLmun i could not tell, i never did it, but only use the linux means...16:13
htmlgiftedrileyp any ideas.? what i could do to solve this I am getting better at using my system and just started using the terminal command line and I am not sure where to look or what to do To solve this... from happening16:13
munComment out the cdrom lines?16:13
remoteCTRLmun ok, in there you should see quite a few lines starting with a # which is a comment character16:13
remoteCTRLmun in the contrary, comment out everything else16:13
remoteCTRLi mean comment the cdrom line, uncomment the rest16:14
munJust one. The name of the file at the top16:14
munOk16:14
diverdudejrib: any ideas bout that?16:14
jribdiverdude: it's likely that your ppa provides packages that you have installed that cannot satisfy the depends mentioned in your error16:14
rileyphtmlgifted:  you are having wifi problems?16:14
remoteCTRLthe name of the file? that should maybe stay commented :D16:14
munDone and ran update. Same fetch error.16:14

rileyphtml or fixed wiring problems16:14
remoteCTRLmun same?? how can you have a cdrom erro when it is commented??16:15
Sidewinder1remoteCTRL, I don't think he saved before trying.16:15
remoteCTRLmun are you sure you just saved your changes?16:15

escottbjrohan, yeah i cant make sense of that they've changed all the names of the drivers around and I don't use the ati so I can't say for sure what an ati vs xorg setup would look like, but it appears that kernel modesetting is disabled and the fglrx cannot be found. im suspicious given that it is looking for fglrx that you might have installed through a .bin but you would know best if you had done that16:36

PW-toXicescott, whatever - if it fails, i just reinstall ubuntu ;)18:15
escottPW-toXic, not off hand, but you need to mount the ubuntu / as /media/ubuntu then mount the /boot (if it exists) as /media/ubuntu/boot then mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev, then you can chroot in and run grub-install /dev/sda18:16
PW-toXicescott, ah i have done this before i guess some years ago18:16

Now, I don't know if it's my browser (I tried with Chrome and Firefox) or if it's the version of Ubuntu that I have (11.04) but before I could just let a YouTube video load, and then check /tmp and find a copy of it there which I could then drag over to my desktop. This is no longer the case. Is there another folder that it gets saved to, or did that little feature get removed from18:33
Canadian1296Does Adobe Premiere Elements work in Wine?18:34

prodigelorated, what's your current window manager?19:21

domz666orated, or just get xubuntu :)19:26
parapancompdoc, sudo doesn't work ..operation not permitted you are not the owner of the file ...19:26
EvilResistanceparapan:  what're you trying to do with this file?19:27
prodigelRoasted, take a look a virtualhosts, it's much easier to work with apache using them19:27
parapancompdoc the files are copied from the read-only monted partition to a nfs share ..19:27
Roastedprodigel, pardon?19:27
compdocparapan, when the file is on the read-only filesystem, you cant make changes. But once its moved to a normal filesystem, you can do anything to it19:27
Roastedprodigel, I just want the directory changed...19:27

guntbertRoasted: I do know, that soft links under /var/www do work19:42
Roastedguntbert, the idea of changing my apache directory is because I have extremely limited space on my root drive. I only have space on /media/NAS, so I need to host data from that drive. Soft links simply copy the data over, so if I drop something in /media/NAS/softlinkdir, it copies to /var/www/softlink...19:42
Roastedguntbert, it works, but it just copies the data over, whcih negates the point of why I'd use them :(19:42

SilfenXhello - using 11.10, trying to figure out samba filesharing. Everything is working fine, it s just that I really need to be able to share entire drives and not just folders on them. Using Nutilus from the desktop to select and share folders doesnt also allow me to select and share entire devices/drives. Is there a way to do that somehow?20:06
guntbertjosten: why would you want to enter homedirectories of others at all?20:06
BlackWebSilfenx share the drive through /media/20:06

escottdoes it list your printer under network printers? if not choose ipp (assuming it is an ipp printer) or pick http if it is an http network printer (must be new i20:07
jeremiah_why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen?20:07

Athanasius1) I've got a MBP. When I boot ubuntu, the boot-screen is extremely corrupted (after grub has loaded the kernel). Once X11 loads, everything looks fine, but the screen is really funkitated-looking when going into/coming out of standby, or if I switch to a VT. How do I fix this?20:09
phong_this is very silly , cant' even add a network printer20:09

dr3mrophong_, Ok you are the loser .. linux needs people with higher IQ?20:10
escott!nomodeset | Athanasius20:10
ubottuAthanasius: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter20:10

lisa_how can I change my main admin password?20:13
jeremiah_why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen?20:13
BlackWeblisa sudo passwd root20:14
oCeanBlackWeb: don't advise on how to set a root password please20:14
lisa_BlackWeb, thats all I type sudo passwd root?20:14
MyrttiBlackWeb: noooo.... don't do that20:14
Myrttilisa_: just change your own password20:14
BlackWeblisa_ ya into a terminal20:14
guntbertjosten: I appreciate that reason - so we make it differently - please !pastebin the output of   ls -ld /home/*    (use a pastebin, its easier for me)20:14
oCeanlisa_: we cannot support you if you are going to enable the root account20:15
wylde!root20:15
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo20:15
Myrttilisa_: you don't want to change the admin password, you want to change your own if you have admin rights20:15
BlackWebor use the same command with the login on the back end you want to change20:15
lisa_whenever I start ubuntu it asks for a password, but its very long and I to make a shorter 10 character password instead.  how I do it properly and safely?20:15
jostenguntbert: i'm sorry, I don't know how to do that yet.20:15
BlackWebso "sudo passwd (login)"20:15
AthanasiusOkay, second question. MBP again, F1..F12 are by default assigned to "special" keys (brightness, volume, etc) and only get interpreted as F## if the fn key is pressed. I prefer to keep that behavior, but fn+ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to VT1 seems to not work (I can switch about with ctrl+alt+(left,right)). Is there a way to make ctrl+alt+f1 work right?20:15
wyldeBlackWeb: I'd suggest you stop....just saying.20:15

lisa_is BlackWeb giving me wrong informtation?20:16
Myrttilisa_: yes.20:16
fernando_my computer just crashed and I had to press reset I want to know how to check file system before booting to ubuntu20:16
jostenguntbert: I'm trying...may take a few.20:16
wylde!fsck | fernando_20:16
ubottufernando_: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot20:16
lisa_Myrtti, whenever I start ubuntu it asks for a password, and whenever I want to install a program it asks for a password. how do I change that password?20:17
Myrttilisa_: your name or username shows in the right top corner? click that and "User Accounts..." on the bottom20:17
gamafishI am using the gnome shell the one that is like the older version of gnome. So how do I move/remove the time bar?20:17
lisa_Myrtti, i dont see any name or username shows in the right top corner20:17
BlackWeblisa_ sudo passwd (login) will allow you to change any users password on system20:17
guntbertjosten:    next easy step     -    sudo apt-get install pastebinit20:18
MyrttiBlackWeb: how many times have we told you to stop giving bad advice?20:18
lisa_Myrtti, how many different passwords are used?  I only created one password20:18
wyldeBlackWeb:  to change your currently logged in password you don't need sudo20:18
guntbertjosten: tell me,, when you installed that littel program20:18
Myrttilisa_: alright, which version of Ubuntu are you using?20:18
lisa_Myrtti, 11.1020:18
BlackWebyea true so passwd (login)20:19
gd515i have a question about BT5 can n e one help me ?20:19

williamtederjeramiah_: Does it show the mojang logo?20:23
lisa_oh no:(  changed password but the password screen stays ghosted and seems frozen :(  What can I do now?20:24
escottJ-Escobar, depends on how the clone is done. a dd level must be done from a livecd, an rsync or normal cp can be done while mounted20:24
munwilliamteder, how does it compare to marlin?20:24
MrChrisDruifmun; nautilus, thunar, pcmanfm, marlin?20:24
williamtederThunar is a very good lightweight file browser, comparable to natulius. Never used merlin, sorry :)20:24
muni really liked nautilus-elementary, but then it's no longer maintained.20:24
williamtederThunar is the default file browser on mythbuntu and xfce derivatives.20:24
MrChrisDruifmun; marlin supersedes N-E20:24
Myrttilisa_: your explanation doesn't really make the issue too clear, the best you can do is to wait - I'm sorry but I seem to have some connection troubles as well. You could try what was suggested earlier, to start a terminal window and type in 'passwd' without the backticks and change your password there20:25
munMrChrisDruif, i've tried marlin, but it doesn't even have a status bar.20:25

lisa_wylde, I was looking all day yesterday without success20:48
Seveaslisa_, the only thing I can come up with is "firefox + google docs"20:48
lisa_Seveas, do you know any Ubuntu programmers personally that you could ask to write a multi tabs + bold + color editor for Ubuntu? :)20:49
lisa_im surprised to be honest nothing exists yet20:49
Seveasnot ones that have spare time :)20:49
lisa_Seveas, lol20:49

lisa_Seveas, but surely one exists.. just gotta keep looking... maybe wylde can find one :)20:50
wyldelisa_: it's a shame libreoffice doesn't have tabs support >.<20:51
lisa_wylde, yes I was thinjking about that last night20:53
lisa_:(20:53
beebee0011hi20:53
lisa_wylde: libreoffice would have been perfect if it supported muli tabs.  Abiword doesnt do it either20:54
lisa_beebee0011: hi right back at ya :)20:54
beebee0011im using 11.10 but all my menus are gone - unity is gone20:54
lisa_beebee0011: whats unity?20:54
wyldelisa_: yeah was just checking on abiword...20:54
Sidewinder1lisa_, wylde, Perhaps the older version, openoffice? I don't know; never tried the 'tabs' thingy but it may be worth a look?20:54

lisa_ikonia: all activity21:02
wyldelisa_:  bleachbit, but if you use it, you need to be careful what you let it do. It's capabale of causing issues if misused.21:02
ikonialisa_: don't worry about it - just use the machine21:02
beebee0011thanks ikonia21:02
ikoniacylonmath: doesn't mean good coverage/connection21:03

ikonialisa_: it's realistic though21:03
lisa_wylde: ok thats it. i remember someone talked about bleachbit yesterday21:03
lisa_whats the best way to backup and restore if needed Ubuntu onto an external hdd?21:04
okanbasoglulist21:04
okanbasoglu;21:04
lisa_Rug: when I use web browers where does all the websites visited and data stored?21:04
ikoniain the browser cache/history21:05
lisa_within HOME or outside HOME?21:05
RugOn a Live CD?21:05
ikoniain your home dir21:05
wyldelisa_: almost all of that information is inside your home folder21:05
lisa_wylde: where would any private and senstive data be stored outside the HOME when it is?21:05
wyldelisa_: in hidden directories and files. (files and directory names that start with a .)21:05
escottlisa_, unless you are running a proxy server it would be inside your $HOME21:05
ikonialisa_: its not21:05
wyldelisa_: none really is, other than passwords but those are stored encrypted anyway21:06
lisa_ikonia: I was told yesterday by someone that sometimes private and senstive data may be stored outside HOME in cache etc. and to use bleachbit21:06
ikonialisa_: you where told wrong21:06
lisa_wylde: ok so why did they create bleachbit?21:06
=== ubuntu_ is now known as deicon
lisa_ikonia: so why do some people use the alternive install and encrypt the whole system and why did they write bleachbit etc?21:07
ikonialisa_: people enypt the whole system to stop people gaining access to their system21:07
deiconiam trying to install grub in my linux partition but when i execute the command i receive this:Not found or not a block device.21:07
ikonialisa_: bleachbit is a disk cleaner that can clean your home area or the whole disk,21:07
bastidrazorbleachbit is dangerous and can break things if you don't pay attention to what it wants to remove.21:07
lisa_ikonia: how can someone access my system seeing I encrypted HOME?21:08
ikonialisa_: because your non-home system is not encyrpted21:08
ikonialisa_: do you have security concerns ?21:08
lisa_ikonia: but if nothing is stored outside HOME that is private or sensitive, why bother encrypting the whole system?21:08
ikonialisa_: because people don't want access to system data being available21:09
ikonialisa_: people have different needs than you21:09
lisa_ikonia: yes because I have all my banking passwords etc stored in HOME21:09
ikonialisa_: ok, so you've encypted your home directory, problem solved21:09
lisa_and personal information in HOME.  I want to make sure im protected in case someone steals my laptop21:09
ikonialisa_: you'll be fine if you have encypted home21:09
lisa_ikonia: so no websites visited, personal text files etc are ever stored outside HOME?21:10
ikonialisa_: correct21:10
lisa_ok :)21:10
ikonialisa_: unless you manually moved them outside of home21:10
lisa_ikonia: i just installed Ubuntu yesterday so im still learning :)21:10
escottlisa_, things can leak through files in /tmp and the swap, but the swap is encrypted by default which leaves the /tmp.21:10
lisa_escott: when I installed Ubuntu yesterday it never asked about creating a swap file21:10
lisa_escott: where is the /tmp located and how can I clean it daily?21:11
ikoniayou shouldn't be worried about swap21:11
Mike9863Icons are showing on menus and buttons even though I have the options disabled under desktop -> gnome -> interface under gconf-editor. How can I disable these icons?21:11
ikoniaor /tmp for that reason21:11
lisa_is there a file manager in ubuntu I can view my ubuntu hard drive and folders?21:11
escottlisa_, in general encrypted home is probably good enough. if someone really wanted your passwords they would find other ways to get the data21:11
ikonialisa_: I suggest you view https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics of how to use ubuntu21:11
lisa_wylde: any luck on the editor? :)21:12
ikonialisa_: you'll find it much easier to ask questions if you understand the basics of use21:12
wyldelooking, I've yet to find any that use tabs AND Bolding/color21:13
escottlisa_, you should try looking for some of these things yourself. open up synaptic or the software center and see what text editors are listed and then go to those websites and see what features they have21:13
lisa_ikonia: ok21:13
lisa_escott: okl21:13
Sidewinder1lisa_, This might also interest you, 'tis a little old but still pertinent: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51081221:14
lisa_i found /tmp using file manager, theres heaps of files in there.  can I safely remove them?21:14
lisa_Sidewinder1: ok thanks :)21:15
Sidewinder1lisa_, My pleasure. :)21:15
ikonialisa_: no21:15
ikoniawhy do you want to remove them, you don't even know what they do21:15
Gnealisa_: you could, but you could also encounter some form of system disruption... /tmp gets emptied on every reboot anyway21:15
lisa_ikonia: so i should never delete files in /tmp?21:15
ikonialisa_: you've encypted home - you'll be fine21:16
ikonialisa_: just leave it there21:16
Fyodorovnairt21:16
lisa_Gnea: ah good, so Ubuntu cleans it out anyway whenever I turn off or reboot?21:16
lisa_ikonia: i will21:16
Gnealisa_: just about every form of unix/linux/bsd has21:16
lisa_ok i really need to backup ubuntu before I mess it up and lose 24 hours of work.. whats best way to do it?21:16
ikoniado you have an external hard disk ?21:16
lisa_!backup ubuntu21:17
lisa_ikonia: yes got one in USB port21:17

scientes!btrfs | lisa_21:18
ubottulisa_: Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs21:18
Gnealisa_: have you never copied files to a flash drive before?21:18
ikonialisa_: imaging it is a bad idea21:18
ikoniascientes: really ? btrfs21:18
lisa_Sidewinder1: yeah first thing I was asking about yesterday was AV and antimalware software and some peple lol at me :P21:18
scienteswell, snapshot ans imaging have alot in common21:18
ikoniascientes: and it's totally unstable21:18
lisa_Gnea: but if Ubuntu crashes, then I need to install it again... isnt there a way to restore an image instead?21:18
Gneascientes: we're looking for solid, proven methods here21:18
ikoniascientes: so someone who's had less than 24 hour linux experience, you're suggesting using btrfs on21:18
fernandocuevawhat is the command to move a directory into another?21:18
lisa_ikonia: so clonezilla is a bad idea?21:19
ikonialisa_: not really21:19

scienteswell lisa_ really shouldn't be looking towards clong21:19
Gnealisa_: well sure, there is21:19
scientesand just backup home directory21:19
Gnealisa_: clonezilla is good21:19
ikoniascientes: why ?21:19
Sidewinder1lisa_, We all had to start somewhere; you'll be totally comfortable in a relatively short period of time..21:19
ikoniascientes: why should she not use clonezilla to take a system image ?21:19
Gneascientes: that's not really your call.21:19
escottlisa_, in general backing up the system files is not useful. if you hardware fails its not likely you will put a new disk in the same hardware and have everything identical to what it was before. so better to backup your /etc with etc-keeper, and use !clone and backup your $HOME21:20
lisa_scientes: so what you recommend.. lets say I really mess up ubununtu,,, whats fastest and best way to get up and running again with all HOME content replaced?21:20
Gnealisa_: clonezilla would do just fine, particularly if you're used to it already21:20
lisa_escott: i dont follow, thats complicated what you said,. im confused21:20
lisa_Gnea: ive never used it, someone mentioned it last night21:21
scienteslisa_, well if you only installed programs from the repos, then you only need to backup your dpkg status database, /etc and /home21:21
deiconiam trying to install grub in my linux partition but when i execute the command i receive this:Not found or not a block device21:21
scientesfor something much quicker than backing up all the binaries21:21
ikonialisa_: you want a clone of the system, use clonezilla it's simple and clean21:21
lisa_scientes: but then I need to reinstall Ubuntu if somethiong goes wrong, right?21:21
ikonialisa_: you want something else, - say what you want21:21
scientesbu yeah you can back up the whole thing too21:21
lisa_ikonia: ok21:21
Gnealisa_: it's awesome. just put it on a cd or dvd and boot it up... if you have an external hdd, you can easily do exactly what you want to do with it21:21
Sidewinder1lisa_, Search and find "grsync" a GUI for the command rsync. Then back up your /home. The ubuntu OS is readily..21:21
Sidewinder1available21:22
scienteslisa_, GNU/Linux aka ubuntu, is not finickey like windows on booting, it will boot from anything, and copy to anywhere21:22
lisa_ikonia: well I wanted to restore my Ubuntu if something goes wrong... otherwise I need tgo start all over again installing programs and restoring my HOME from scratch21:22
Gneascientes: read what she said: she wants to back the WHOLE thing up.21:22
lisa_Gnea: ok clonezilla sounds the go :)21:22
ikonialisa_: use clonezilla and take an image, keep it simple21:22
escottlisa_, suppose your laptop hardware fails in some way. what will you do? replace the failed piece of hardware or just buy a new laptop... more likely the later, so use the backup utilities to backup $HOME, and use !clone to record what you installed and install and use etc-keeper to backup special changes you might make to /etc21:22
lisa_ikonia: ok21:22
Gnealisa_: I've used clonezilla to backup/restore multiple linux and windows systems, it's a pretty solid system21:23

garthkThanks, ActionParsnip. Trying it now.23:13
ActionParsnipandresmh: why are you connecting via VNC, what are you doing on the remote system?23:13
ActionParsnipgarthk: apt-fast = apt-get + axel23:13
andresmhActionParsnip: I want to be able to compile some R code and see the plots. The remote server is much better hardware.23:14
ActionParsnipandresmh: do you compile in CLI?23:14
andresmhActionParsnip: also, i am only able to use Win7 on my desktop. So I want to be able to use full blown Ubuntu remotely.23:14
wyldeandresmh: do you actually need gui access or can it be completed through ssh and sftp for file access?23:14

wyldeandresmh: just wondering, sometimes you can get much better results NOT using VNC. :) Oh, and you'll be accessing it over the public internet? If so you may want to tunnel vnc through ssh if so. Just a thought.23:17
andresmhActionParsnip: heh, is this an interview :) You see, there is this GUI-friendly version of R called Rstudio that does all sorts of nice things.23:17
_MarcusActionParsnip: Oh. Is that as exact as it gets?23:17
andresmhwylde: yeah , i'd like to do it via ssh23:17
ActionParsnipandresmh: ahhh if there is a GUI app then it makes sense, 9 times in 10 what users do over VNC can be done faster via other means :)23:17

CFHowlett_Marcus   search for artwork-extra packages...23:19
andresmhwylde: maybe, why is it so bad to use VNC?23:19
wyldeandresmh: less grapics data to pass over the network will make it more respopnsive :)23:19
_Marcusandresmh: If you have a slower connection, VNC isn't recommended.23:20
andresmhwylde: and BTW, I am on win7, so setting up X might be a pain.23:20
garthkActionParsnip: I'm still stuck at 805d despite apt-fast. Any ideas? https://gist.github.com/220138223:20
wyldeandresmh: I find VNC awful for anything that requires much in the way of graphic content23:20
andresmhI am on a fast connection23:20
ActionParsnipandresmh: its a lot of data when usually its not needed. Also VNC has zero security so using it over WWW isn't a good idea23:20

ActionParsnipandresmh: configure the firewall to allow the port23:22
=== B is now known as Guest9251
ActionParsnipandresmh: if you ssh with the -X option, you can run GUI apps and they will show on the client, but be running on the server (like citrix)23:22
andresmhActionParsnip: how do i do that? the firewall configuration process looks very scary. Plus, wouldn't it be better if I use ssh tunnel?23:22
nibbler_andresmh, you want to use vnc via ssh? its easy, just ssh to the other machine, and add parameter: -L5900:localhost:5900 - then connect vnc to your local machine23:22
andresmhnibbler_: how do i do that using putty?23:22
andresmhnibbler: actually i figured it out23:23
nibbler_andresmh, there is a tunnel option aswell in putty, use local (that is -L) and enter the rest like i told you23:23

andresmh(using the vnc client)23:23

andresmhi am wondering if i need to configure the vnc server so it lets me get in via localhost/ssh tunnel23:24

jim___how do i stop it in its tracks ?23:24

nibbler_andresmh, but this should.... work..... - and if you go via a WAN link, make sure to use zlib compression, that might speed it up a lot23:24

ActionParsnipjim___: sure you can, just use $1 and $2 to represent the first and second args respectively23:25
ActionParsnipjim___: $0 is the number of arguments sent, so you can have logic on that value to see if it needs to run the second part (if i'm reading this right)23:25
garthkActionParsnip, the problem seems to be security.ubuntu.com rather than us.archive.ubuntu.com. Is it safe to switch from security.ubuntu.com to some other site?23:26
