[00:03] <blackcatnekonegr> Hello, was that was Ubuntu program that allowed to install a ubuntu distro in a pendrive?
[00:03] <gridbag> the "convert" utility is one of the most silly ones to figure out.
[00:11] <antarus> so what happened to the src package for gem2deb
[00:11] <antarus> its in P, but not in M, or N, or O, or L

[00:14] <iandan> Hi, after the last update, every time Ubuntu boots up I get an warning message telling me I ran out of space on /boot. What can I do in this case?

[00:20] <songxk> anybody here
[00:21] <spray_> I'm here.
[00:21] <spray_> But I am of limited usefulness.
[00:22] <Zoffix> Hey. Is there any trick to installing Ubuntu on a mirror raid? I configured my two drives via BIOS as a mirror raid, and I'm trying to install ubuntu... It refuses to install the boot loader. I also tried grub-install from shell, but I'm unsure what device to use. There's /dev/sba and /dev/sba but it tells me "can't something something is it mounted?"... and my raid is mounted :| I'm totally lost.
[00:22] <spray_> Like this.  I'm useless to answer
[00:23] <spray_> But my suggestion is "Your raid is mounted, and it's telling you that it can't do something because it's mounted, so unmount it!"
[00:23] <dlentz> spray_, actually it's asking if it's mounted, so it should be mounted..
[00:24] <spray_> See?  I'm useless for this.
[00:24] <Zoffix> :)
[00:24] <spray_> I mean, if someone came in and said "How do I strip the EXIF data from a picture"
[00:24] <spray_> I can say "mogrify -strip filename"
[00:25] <songxk> aha
[00:26] <spray_> But I have never owned anything capable of RAID
[00:26] <spray_> Well, I suppose that PowerEdge 830 in the attic has a RAID card, but I don't use it, it's just sitting there with 6tb as a fileserver.
[00:27] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, when I try to use slim dm, ubuntu hangs at the splash screen complaining about constantly waiting for the only disk drive to be mounted, even though viewing the console messages shows the disk is mounted, and ran through the boot process. When I make gdm the default DM, ubuntu boots fine.

[00:46] <Zoffix> Tiktalik, bye
[00:47] <tjayh913> why won't the terminal let me type a password for sudo?
[00:47] <tjayh913> it prompts for one, but what I type won't go anywhere
[00:47] <Zoffix> tjayh913, it usually doesn't show up, if that's what you mean.
[00:47] <Tiktalik> tjayh913, that's how it works
[00:47] <Tiktalik> it doesn't show the password or any asterisks
[00:47] <Zoffix> tjayh913, if the pass doesn't work, you might need to run sudo passwd
[00:48] <tjayh913> ah thats why, I was expecting something to show up
[00:48] <Zoffix> Ah. Sorry, never mind my last line.
[00:49] <UbuntuBoy> Hello.
[00:49] <UbuntuBoy> Is anyone awake and is willing to help me out a bit? :P

[00:53] <UbuntuBoy> Today I bought Lenovo g570 laptop... Wifi works in Win but it can't be even turned on in Ubuntu. Any ideas how I could fix this?
[00:54] <hydrox24> UbuntuBoy: can you run "ifconfig -a" and pastebin the output for us?
[00:54] <UbuntuBoy> Also... Whenever I restart it, it keeps trying to connect to an invisible wired network.
[00:54] <hydrox24> !pastebin | UbuntuBoy
[00:55] <UbuntuBoy> My previous laptop worked perfectly with Ubuntu... But this. >.<
[00:55] <dlentz> UbuntuBoy, what wireless chipset is it (run lspci if not sure)
[00:55] <scott_z> ok here is a silly question. How do I get ls to ignore the case. For ex. ls -l -a r*  I want all r's both upper and lower case.

[00:57] <NFisher> Hi all! i need to recompile notify-send with a patch, how do i do that?
[00:57] <blackthorne> hi
[00:58] <dlentz> UbuntuBoy, i guess you actually need net access to get it working, because the firmware has to be downloaded (could not be distributed)
[00:58] <blackthorne> I want to reinstall my ubuntu server. Do I have an alternative as in some sort of functionality able to restore the initial state without having to install over again?
[00:58] <Zoffix> scott_z, maybe    ls | grep -i r*
[00:58] <andr0id> hiiiii
[00:59] <andr0id> need some help!
[00:59] <UbuntuBoy> How do I do that? :O
[00:59] <andr0id> anyone?
[00:59]  * Zoffix smacks andr0id 
[01:00]  * andr0id slaps Zoffix around a bit with a large trout

[01:00] <andr0id> anyone familiar with partition id's?
[01:00] <dlentz> UbuntuBoy, maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_No_Internet_access
[01:01] <UbuntuBoy> when i run "rfkill list all" it says phy0: wireless lan soft blocked: no hard blocked: yes
[01:01] <andr0id> anyone familiar with partition id's?
[01:01] <Zoffix> andr0id, dude....
[01:01] <scott_z> Zoffix, nope only returned the lower case
[01:01] <hydrox24> UbuntuBoy: that indicates that it is turned off from a Fn key or BIOS
[01:02] <UbuntuBoy> BIOS!
[01:02] <Zoffix> scott_z, did you use the -i switch on grep?
[01:02] <UbuntuBoy> brb >.<
[01:02] <arand> andr0id: Please provide more details.
[01:02] <Zoffix> scott_z, 'cause I just tried it and it works fine...
[01:03] <Zoffix> andr0id, and stop messaging me. You're obviously on a mission to do EVERYTHING wrong when asking a question on IRC. *sigh* http://jeff.jones.be/technology/articles/how-to-ask-for-help-on-irc/
[01:03] <andr0id> ok, i have lenovo ideapad y560, and in order to get the recevery partition back in order, i need to change its id to 12. i need to run gparted, but right now i dont have usb or dvd or cd available. i need the code in gparted for partition id 12
[01:04] <scott_z> Zoffix, yup just tried it again with both lower and upper case R and got different results
[01:04] <scott_z> ummm
[01:04] <chaz> hey guys .. if i update to 12.04 beta 2, will that update itself eventually to be the final release?
[01:04] <jrib> chaz: yes
[01:04] <chaz> jrib: thanks
[01:05] <tjayh913> Does Ubuntu 11.10 still have a GUI anywhere for setting detailed user account permissions? I found some old article that showed one?
[01:07] <Zoffix> scott_z, hmm. That's weird. I just created 4 test files, instead of my original 2, and it stopped working 0-O
[01:07] <scott_z> hmmm right back at ya.. now you see my problem :)
[01:08] <scott_z> should be such a simple thing
[01:09] <andr0id> anyone?
[01:09] <teligard> Hi all
[01:10] <andr0id> i guess i cant find the solution
[01:10] <teligard> Anyone good with fstab?
[01:10] <teligard> I have something I jus can't figure out
[01:10] <slackin_> teligard, ask
[01:10] <Zoffix> scott_z, well, this does something or other: find . -iname "r*"
[01:10] <slackin_> teligard, asking to ask is waste of my time and yours.
[01:11] <teligard> I have several shares that I've successfully set up in the fstab, all mount without issue
[01:11] <slackin_> teligard, also try to type the entire sentence on one line
[01:11] <hydrox24> !ask } teligard
[01:11] <hydrox24> !ask | teligard
[01:11] <slackin_> hydrox24, ty
[01:11] <teligard> now, when I add an additional share (and have verified that the network path exists), it says that it can't find the path specified
[01:12] <wasp>  the terminal work BUT i can't find where the app went
[01:12] <slackin_> teligard, did you 'mkdir /path/to/mount/the/shate/to'
[01:12] <teligard> yes
[01:12] <scott_z> Zoffix, Now that worked, but too well. That recurses into all the subdirectories too..
[01:12] <slackin_> teligard, is it a permissions issue? teligard how about pastebin your fstab, and the error. that would help a lot
[01:13] <teligard> Is there a max length that the fstab file can be, or a max number of shares that can be listed.
[01:13] <andr0id> ok, i have lenovo ideapad y560, and in order to get the recevery partition back in order, i need to change its id to 12. i need to run gparted, but right now i dont have usb or dvd or cd available. i need the code in gparted for partition id 12
[01:13] <slackin_> teligard how about pastebin your fstab, and the error. that would help a lot
[01:14] <andr0id> so everyone ignores me ah?
[01:14] <teligard> I'll get that up there right away
[01:15] <slackin_> !patience | andr0id
[01:15] <Zoffix> scott_z, find . -maxdepth 1 -iname "r*"
[01:15] <andr0id> ok, i have lenovo ideapad y560, and in order to get the recevery partition back in order, i need to change its id to 12. i need to run gparted, but right now i dont have usb or dvd or cd available. i need the code in gparted for partition id 12
[01:16] <ratcheer> lol
[01:17] <bodhi_me> fdisk?
[01:17] <scott_z> Zoffix, now that worked. Now I have to make script out of that. A lot of work for just a simple listing. Thanks for the help
[01:17] <Bob__> new here.  just installed ubuntu v11.10 on windows 7 using  wubi.  Appears to be working good.  How do I get to windows files or file system from ubuntu?   I looked online and it said to go to Places.  I do not have a Places menu to click on.
[01:18] <teligard> http://pastebin.com/SX5EDGEZ
[01:18] <teligard> let me grab the error
[01:21] <slackin_> teligard, LMFAO
[01:21] <slackin_> bro
[01:21] <slackin_> anything with # in front
[01:21] <slackin_> is ignored
[01:22] <hiexpo> lost my os not a happycamper
[01:23] <teligard> Right, and that was the plan.  Line 28, which is uncommented doesn't function
[01:23] <teligard> I would have made sure to catch something as dumb as that
[01:24] <m477> how can I check when I installed my ubuntu?
[01:24] <slackin_> teligard, well you are using ubuntu
[01:24] <slackin_> :p
[01:24] <slackin_> teligard, but seriously, sounds like something small you're over looking
[01:24] <teligard> yes, I'm using ubuntu 10.10
[01:24] <slackin_> teligard, was a joke about your comment not being dumb
[01:24] <teligard> That's why I was in the hopes that a better educated set of eyes might be ableto find what I've missed
[01:25] <slackin_> teligard, well, first, where's the error?
[01:25] <teligard> I've done some pretty stupid things, so...
[01:25] <slackin_> teligard, we all have ;]
[01:26] <teligard> http://pastebin.com/GEFJ03De - This includes the fstab and the error (error at the bottom)
[01:26] <almoxarife> m477: did you get an answer?
[01:26] <scott_z> is it possible to unmount a filesystem that was mounted in fstab?
[01:26] <UbuntuBoy> Nope. Tried everything, drivers installed... Still have hard block on WiFi.
[01:26] <m477> almoxarife: no
[01:26] <teligard> What it is telling me, from what I can tell, isthat it can't see the directory that I'm pointing it to
[01:26] <scott_z> UbuntuBoy, are you using a dell?
[01:26] <UbuntuBoy> lenovo g570
[01:26] <teligard> but I've verified by browsing to it, that it is there
[01:26] <m477> almoxarife: do you know how?
[01:27] <almoxarife> m477: how about looking at the files installed, the oldest date found is going to be the install date?
[01:27] <Bob__> Looking for help on accessing windows files while booted up in wubi ubuntu 11.10.  Am missing Places toolbar-menu bar.
[01:27] <UbuntuBoy> And its still trying to connect on some non-existing wired network.
[01:27] <slackin_> teligard, i think, that your smbcredentials2 is missing
[01:27] <slackin_> i *think*
[01:27] <slackin_> or misplaced
[01:27] <slackin_> or named wrong
[01:27] <slackin_> or wrong permissions
[01:27] <FloodBot1> slackin_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:28] <m477> almoxarife: it seems non sense to me, how I am suppose to do that
[01:28] <almoxarife> Bob__: look in /media/host or perhaps its just /host
[01:28] <teligard> I am able to use the same file when I have the audio2 line uncommented
[01:28] <slackin_> teligard, one sec
[01:28] <teligard> k
[01:28] <Bob__> almoxarife -  where do I start to do that?
[01:28] <slackin_> teligard, double check your /mnt/emulation, really double check the spelling, both the directory on fs and in fstab
[01:29] <almoxarife> m477: Bob__ , use the good ole file browser that the baby jesus put in ubuntu
[01:29] <mohamez> hi
[01:29] <UbuntuBoy> It seems to be a kernel problem.
[01:29] <UbuntuBoy> How do I degrade it for a version?
[01:30] <scott_z> UbuntuBoy, if you are using a dell, it sure is. I had the same problem. I even tried to boot with an old kernal
[01:30] <UbuntuBoy> I'm using Lenovo G570.
[01:30] <Bob__> almoxarife  - ok.   how ?
[01:30] <scott_z> The only way I fixed it was to yank the card out  and use my  usb wifi
[01:30] <mcloy> how to comprehensively fsck and fix problem at reboot ?
[01:30] <teligard> I guess the odd part for me is that everything from the podcasts share down doesn't work
[01:30] <scott_z> the problem for me happend after an upgrade
[01:30] <UbuntuBoy> Did you fix it?
[01:31] <teligard> maybe there's a hidden character?
[01:31] <hiexpo> reboot sn olre kernel maybe
[01:31] <slackin_> teligard, humm
[01:31] <hiexpo> sorry typing bites here
[01:31] <slackin_> teligard, HAHA
[01:31] <slackin_> BRO
[01:31] <slackin_> teligard, i got it
[01:32] <teligard> wht dumb mistake did I make
[01:32] <slackin_> put a # in front of line ....... nvm, ther eis one, i was mis-reading the pastebin
[01:32] <scott_z> I looked all over the forums to no avail. could only find alot of people with the problem but no solution. I was not even using that card and it locked out my usb wifi. I had to remove the card from my laptop.
[01:32]  * hiexpo is still mad he lost all his stuff with ubuntu  
[01:32] <scott_z> is it possible to unmount a filesystem that was mounted in fstab?
[01:32] <mcloy> how to comprehensively fsck and fix problem at reboot ?
[01:33] <hiexpo> sure umount
[01:33] <slackin_> teligard, have you tried mounting it via command line and seeing what happens?
[01:33] <UbuntuBoy>  Awww...
[01:33] <teligard> not yet
[01:33] <UbuntuBoy> Should I wait for a 12.04 LTS or just install Linux Mint? xD
[01:33] <scott_z> says the device is busy. but I am not using it. all term windows shut down and nothing in lsof
[01:33]  * mcloy waits
[01:33] <slackin_> teligard, try running the command by hand and see if it works or not
[01:33] <dr3mro> hello I use ubuntu 11.10 and installed wallch to automatically change my wallpaper but the indicator icon is dark and i am using ambiance theme so I made a light icon but how to make wallch use it ?
[01:33] <UbuntuBoy> Because this sucks hard. No WiFi. T.T
[01:34] <hiexpo> hehe
[01:34] <slackin_> teligard, in about 3-5 minutes i have to run to store, ill help you out a little more when i get back if you dont have it solved by then, also teligard  try asking in #slackware but DO NOT tell them you are running ubuntu
[01:34] <slackin_> teligard, also, you can try asking in #gentoo also, again, dont mention ubuntu
[01:35] <scott_z> UbuntuBoy, you wont like my solution but if you reinstall from the livecd and NOT upgrade that will fix it.
[01:35] <UbuntuBoy> >.<
[01:36] <somnambulant> is there a way as root mysql user to show the password for a regular mysql user?
[01:36] <UbuntuBoy> Eh, the curse of Open Source. Thanks anyway. :P
[01:36] <teligard> ok, now for a stupid question:
[01:37] <sparky-> ubuntuboy: bcm43x has a support page, try googling for it
[01:37] <teligard> How does ubuntu view an anonymous account
[01:37] <Bob__> ubuntu 11.10 - am missing applications places system menu items.  How do I get the back.  New fresh Wubi install.
[01:37] <sparky-> ubuntuboy: it (bcm43x) appears to be tricky
[01:37] <recber> can anybody help me?? yesterday i install ubuntu 11.10 un my laptop, no problems until this morning... reboot i didn't start, it freezes on login screen (sorry, english is not my first language)
[01:37] <sparky-> recber: what login screen?  lightdm?
[01:37] <slackin_> teligard, i honestly can't answer that, i only use ubuntu on 1 single server, I use slackware/gentoo/BSD on everything else
[01:37] <UbuntuBoy> Yeah... :S
[01:38] <UbuntuBoy> I will, thanks.
[01:38] <recber> yes, lightdm as soon as i try to type my password it freezes
[01:38] <UbuntuBoy> Oh, and totally random... Tray icons with non-transparent backgrounds (like firestarter) piss me off. They should fix that. xD
[01:38] <slackin_> brb runnng to store teligard
[01:38] <teligard> the only reason I'm using ubuntu here is that I'm using xbmc as a basic media center , and it *seemed* like the least hassle to set up
[01:38] <Guest95804> does anyone know if there is a gui to change file and folder permissions?
[01:39] <teligard> k, ttys
[01:39] <Random832> if they can't figure out transparency
[01:39] <xangua> Bob__: hut your Super/Windows button or clic on the ubuntu icon
[01:39] <Random832> they should make the icon an aesthetically appropriate square tile
[01:39] <sparky-> recber: really ... can you switch to text console even?  (control-alt-f1), do the toggle keys toggle?  (caps lock, num lock, scroll lock)
[01:39] <xangua> Bob__: you can clic application and all will show up
[01:39] <Random832> rather than just a blahgray "tile"
[01:39] <slackin_> teligard, ill be back in 20-30 min if you still need help
[01:39] <almoxarife> Guest95804: yes, nautilus run with gksu
[01:39] <teligard> k, I do appreciate it
[01:39] <slackin_> teligard, pm me if you have any direct questions for me, or have any additional information
[01:39] <teligard> will do
[01:39] <recber> yes, and again it freezes... even when i try a live cd it didn't start
[01:39] <mcloy> how to comprehensively fsck and fix problem at reboot ?
[01:39] <Bob__> xangua -  where or what is Super / Windows button
[01:40] <Guest95804> really? i hate to bug, but how would i set that up? thanks
[01:40] <Bob__> xangua - where is application to click it?
[01:40] <xangua> Bob__: on your keyboard
[01:41] <sparky-> mcloy: if you can get to a prompt (that is if lvm, etc. work) then you can "mount -o ro,remount /" and e2fsck -y the partition
[01:41] <sparky-> recber: switch to text console?  toggle keys?
[01:41] <almoxarife> Guest95804: alt-f2 opens input box, in box enter              gksu nautilus
[01:41] <Bob__> xangua -  hitting super windows key on kybd only brings up search window... does not give me menu on top of screen for  Applications - Places - System
[01:41] <mcloy> sparky-,  its my system partition
[01:41] <recber> sparky: sorry, didn't understand
[01:42] <xangua> Bob__: clic the icons that appear down it and you can acces files, apps, etc
[01:42] <Guest95804> thanks so much almoxarife
[01:42] <mcloy> how to comprehensively fsck and fix problem at reboot ?
[01:42] <sparky-> mcloy: well, you could always use a livecd :-)  not that it matters, "mount -o ro,remount" should be sufficient to at least let you fix the more serious problems and reboot immediately
[01:42] <mcloy> !fsck
[01:43] <almoxarife> Guest95804: btw, that is a dangerous thing to do, be careful with permissions
[01:43] <mcloy> sparky-,  thx. no other way?
[01:43] <sparky-> mcloy: look, you need to run fsck tool, right?  the problem is that you can't fsck the system if the partitions are *mounted* (or at least not if they're mounted read/write)  if they're mounted *read only* you have a chance
[01:44] <Guest95804> yeah I'm just trying to change the options on grub and doing it through the terminal confused me
[01:45] <almoxarife> Guest95804: you are not doing something right if you need to change file permissions to change grub options, don't do it!
[01:46] <Bob__> xangua:  all I see is the ubuntu linux filesystem.   how do I get to Windows files ?
[01:46] <Guest95804> the grub documentation says differently...
[01:47] <Guest95804> i'm just making it so there is no time limit
[01:47] <xangua> Bob__: you can open the windows partitio with nautilus, the file manager
[01:47] <almoxarife> Guest95804: to change options in grub follow the previous but enter this instead              gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
[01:47] <sparky-> guest95804: are you root when you do this? :-)
[01:47] <Bob__> xangua - ok. newbie here.  how do I get to ,  or how do I open nautilus, the file manager ?
[01:48] <xangua> Bob__: just open your home, it's right there in the launcher
[01:49] <Bob__> xangua:  ok.  open home.  have icons here.  which folder is windows files ?
[01:49] <almoxarife> Guest95804: once you have made the changes and saved it, you would do as previous but enter       sudo update-grub
[01:49] <hiexpo> xangua, gksudo nautilus
[01:51] <Bob__> xangua:  ok.  I have opened Home.  I now have a bunch of choices.     which icon leads to windows file system.
[01:51] <almoxarife> Bob__: widows is either /host or /media/host
[01:51] <xangua> Bob__: you should see the windows partition in the sidebar, sda something
[01:52] <hiexpo> hehe windows is sda ?
[01:52] <almoxarife> xangua: in a wubi install the host system is mounted as 'host'
[01:52] <xangua> agg wubi.....
[01:53] <xangua> can't concentrate while watching series :P
[01:54] <hiexpo> never new windows drives where mounted as sda but ok
[01:54] <Bob__> xangua:   on left side is- Computer  Home Desktop documents downloads music pictures .. etc
[01:54] <noz_> hi
[01:54] <almoxarife> Bob__: 'computer'
[01:54] <noz_> #kubuntu
[01:54] <noz_> hi
[01:54] <teligard> Well, no luck, but can make do with what I have until I can find a better answer.
[01:55] <xangua> Bob__: forget all about i said, never liked wubi, never used again; almoxarife seems to know a little more about it, have you listened to him¿
[01:55] <almoxarife> xangua: no, he does not listen, :)
[01:56] <Devils> hola guys!
[01:56] <Bob__> almoxarife:  sorry.  am new here and to ubuntu.  hard to follow all posting.
[01:56] <almoxarife> Bob__: widows is either /host or /media/host
[01:56] <Devils> ola
[01:56] <hiexpo> Bob__, just ask your? easier
[01:56] <Bob__> almoxarife:  where do I find  windows   /host or /media/host  ???
[01:57] <Devils> hi guys
[01:57] <hiexpo> it's in media no mount
[01:57] <sergio> Hello
[01:57] <Devils> you nop ingles
[01:57] <Devils> you español
[01:57] <almoxarife> Bob__: widows is in  /media/host  folder,
[01:58] <Bob__> where is media, or how do I get to it.   I believe that I am in file manager...
[01:59] <Devils> and get assistance in Spanish please?
[01:59] <almoxarife> Bob__: what can I tell you, googe "how to drill down thru folders in ubuntu nautilus'
[01:59] <b1g1r0n> Devils: #ubuntu-es
[02:00] <almoxarife> !es
[02:01] <Devils> gracias brother!
[02:01] <Bob__> ubuntu 11.10 -  how do I change color selection of a terminal session.    directories are highlighted in puke green.  I am unable to read the words.
[02:01] <Devils> #ubuntu-es
[02:01] <Devils> sorry
[02:01] <Devils> lol
[02:02] <Devils> bye guys
[02:02] <b1g1r0n> Devils: adios
[02:03] <sparky-> bob__: Edit -> Profile Preferences
[02:03] <sparky-> bob__: you got to be able to look around too :-)
[02:04] <emu> In bash, Ctrl-w deletes a word. How can I map this to Alt-h?
[02:06] <Bob__> sparky -  Thanks.   Can you tell me how I get to that from desktop ?   ubuntu 11.10.
[02:07] <sparky-> bob__: it's on the menu bar ...
[02:09] <Bob__> sparky:  thanks.     the edit on my menu bar does not have a profile option.     is there another way to get to it?
[02:10] <sparky-> bob__: gnome-terminal?  make sure gnome-terminal is the active application.  (the menubar reflects what choices are available for the active application)
[02:12] <Bob__> sparky: -  ok  got that.   I did not have anything open before.  nothing on desktop.   I opened the home folder.  Now I have a preferences option in the menu bar  - edit.  Thanks..  I would never have gotten that...
[02:13] <Bob__> sparky:  ok.  I opened a terminal windows.   With terminal window active,  I now have a Edit - Preferences.   Thanks.
[02:18] <gotmilk> it's my pleasure

[02:26] <trism> L3mce: info package distro

[02:26] <L3top> oh thank you
[02:29] <L3top> Man... lucid version of syslinux is from 2008.
[02:29] <L3top> No wonder.
[02:46] <tdlam> is sparky online?
[02:47] <hydrox24> sparky-: his nick is certainly still there
[02:47] <tdlam> well I did it...I made the switch form windows to xubuntu...it took a lot of configuring but its all good...I wiped windows and am full linux on my work laptop now...
[02:47] <sparky-> i'm here :-)
[02:48] <sparky-> was watching youtube video of spi-controlled rgb strips
[02:48] <tdlam> hi sparky just wanted to let you know I pulled it off
[02:48] <CFHowlett> tdlam   https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/WeSaluteYou.gif
[02:48] <sparky-> tdlam: good :-)
[02:48] <tdlam> lol thnks for the help it meant a lot
[02:48] <sparky-> tdlam: didn't do much, just gave you hints
[02:49] <tdlam> I even went deep and got that sanner to work finally
[02:49] <tdlam> but its all new to me...so I'm rather looking forward to using linux now
[02:49] <sparky-> tdlam: good!  now quit playing with irc, go grab an arduino and have more fun with linux, avrdude, and hacking :-)
[02:50] <tdlam> ummm arduino? avrdude? lol dunno what that is
[02:51] <tdlam> I got a long way to go i can see that...but got cairo dock going...desktop nova...screenlets...and a few other goodies
[02:51] <micah_> Hah, I don't know what that is either...
[02:52] <tdlam> lol micah_
[02:52] <sparky-> tdlam: well, imho, linux is just a stepping stone to other things, assuming you're interested.  there's a lot of things you can do with linux, but after a while you'd get bored with software alone.  that's when you start to look into hardware hacking :-)  arduino is a small microcontroller platform that lets you experiment with hardware easily.  linux ties it all together by doing the harder software part, while you do the easier har
[02:52] <sparky-> dware part on a more appropriate platform
[02:53] <micah_> ah.
[02:53] <tdlam> CFHowlett @ the gif!!! and ty sparky for the info
[02:53] <sparky-> micah: quit now before you get hoooked :-)  or, checkout seeedstudio.com (yes, too many e's) and adafruit.com
[02:53] <micah_> Now that I hear it explained, I remember my friend mentioned one when he was working on a timing mechanism
[02:53] <tdlam> that should have read *lol @ the gif
[02:54] <micah_> for his coilgun.
[02:55] <tdlam> man thats all terminal stuff...its a slog fest for me right now...as I said though I went pretty dep to get my scanner FINALLY going
[02:56] <tdlam> sparky you are a good and friendly person...I appreciate it
[02:56] <Shaun__> hello
[02:57] <micah_> hello.
[02:57] <Shaun__> Could anyone be so kind as to help a complete... newb with assistance? lol
[02:57] <CFHowlett> !ask|Shaun_
[02:58] <micah_> We can try.
[02:58] <m477> how can I check when I installed my ubuntu?
[02:58] <Shaun__> I am having trouble with a server I host.
[02:59] <tdlam> well just wanted to come back and give you the update...it took some figuring on my part...but I copied my install over to another partion  then got windows nuked...then reinstated my xubuntu intact...restored grub with my linux boot repair disc...and its all good now
[02:59] <Shaun__> It's UDP port is on 9987, the port is forwarded in my router... but Linux netstat says that it is not open and no WAN connections can connect
[02:59] <CFHowlett> m477  earliest date listed in the root folder ...
[02:59] <sparky-> m477: ls -l /etc/debian_version ?
[03:00] <m477> thx
[03:00] <micah_> Routers are tricky.
[03:00] <tdlam> so all the best to you guys  thanks again for the gif! and for the words of encouragement
[03:01] <mezzuchi> good evening.
[03:01] <sparky-> shaun__: what's supposed to be listening?
[03:01] <CFHowlett> mezzuchi   greetings
[03:01] <Shaun__> A UDP TeamSpeak Voice server on port 9987
[03:02] <Shaun__> the server is running and can be connected to via LAN
[03:02] <sparky-> shaun__: netstat -plunt | grep 9987
[03:02] <mewhiz> hey im on 10044 and i cant connect to auto eth0... it is visible
[03:02] <Shaun__> all 0's
[03:02] <sparky-> shaun__: show me?
[03:03] <Shaun__> how so? type it out or screen capture?
[03:03] <sparky-> shaun__: type it out, cut & paste, etc.
[03:03] <CFHowlett> !paste|Shaun__
[03:03] <sparky-> shaun__: it can't *literally* be "all 0's", so i wanna see :-)
[03:04] <sparky-> shaun__: we're talking about the one line that matches, right?
[03:04] <Shaun__> yes, not able to copy and paste from terminal
[03:04] <Shaun__> will type
[03:04] <Shaun__> udp         0               0.0.0.0.0:9987                      0.0.0.0:*
[03:05] <zack_> anyone want to help me with some ndiswrapper issues? i've been researching all day cant get this pcmcia to work
[03:05] <sparky-> shaun__: good.  now, "iptables -L -nv", are there any firewall rules beside the default accept?
[03:07] <Shaun__> @sparky- could you please remind me as to how I copy and paste from terminal? lol
[03:08] <sparky-> shaun__: select text, control-insert to copy, shift-insert to paste (make sure it's one line only please, or people get upset)
[03:08] <Shaun__> not the standard ctrl+c, and I haven't had to since... well... I first used it a year and a half ago
[03:08] <sparky-> shaun__: might as well use paste service
[03:08] <zack_> I haven't been able to get a pcmcia wireless car to work. i keep getting a "Windows driver couldn't initialize the device" error via dmesg, any suggestions?
[03:08] <Shaun__> thank you, I will use paste bin, or whatever that was lol.
[03:09] <sparky-> zack_: wish i could help ya.  but, if i had something that needed ndiswrapper i'd just as soon buy something else :-)
[03:09] <sparky-> (and send the company a nastygram)
[03:09] <Jon--> After enabled compiz, any <Super> bind I set up with xbindkeys is not working. How can I fix this? Ubnutu 11.10. I don't appear to have anything bound to <Super> using ccsm advanced search. Using gnome-classic
[03:09] <zack_> sparky: ya, shes an old machine but i wanna get her up and runnin'
[03:10] <Shaun__> @sparky http://pastebin.com/YLeUWNXK
[03:10] <mezzuchi> I always have a lot of fun breathing life back into old machines~
[03:10] <zack_> mezzuchi: ya, i just tried out lubuntu, despite the challenges its fun
[03:11] <sparky-> shaun__: well that's the problem :-)  you got firewall filtering out inbound udp:9987, add a rule for that and restart firewall and you're good to go
[03:11] <mezzuchi> I've never tried lubuntu, i'd assume it's lxde based?
[03:11] <zack_> ya, works great on this pentium 3
[03:11] <sparky-> wait ...
[03:12] <mezzuchi> I may have to try it on one of my older thinkpads then, elementary OS is a bit clunky.
[03:13] <sparky-> no, looks like you have what, virtual network interface?  i'm gonna have to guess here and say the rule to add your port 9987 is the *forward* chain.  that's a guess :-)
[03:13] <ANDolf> HP Mini Enable Wireless grayed out. first step?
[03:13] <CFHowlett> ANDolf   dual boot?
[03:13] <mezzuchi> @ANDolf check to make sure the card still functions
[03:13] <Shaun__> do you know how I would go about adding such rule? My apologies, but aside from the standard commands to start my server and DUC I know nothing ): . I didn't change any firewall settings, and have no idea why it is blocking 9987... not quite sure how to change it either.,
[03:13] <zack_> mezzuchi, ya this is a T20, shes a beast but lacks any real wireless.
[03:14] <CFHowlett> ANDolf   run this in terminal and paste output  lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[03:14]  * CFHowlett suspects it's  broadcom
[03:14] <Shaun__> me = windows and no Linux experience... >.<
[03:14] <mezzuchi> Heh, my A30 has a wireless card I fished out of a dell laptop, but there's no antenna's so it doesn't work....
[03:14] <sparky-> shaun__: i have no clue :-) first time i've seen virbr0 ... ha.  my iptables days were way behind me (rely on dd-wrt to do the job for me)
[03:15] <sparky-> shaun__: is your computer directly on the internet or something?
[03:15] <Shaun__> Nope, router owo
[03:15] <ANDolf> Shaun__: me 2:: tired of drive running. don't trust windows performance or security.
[03:15] <ANDolf> CFHowlett: thx
[03:15] <zack_> can anyone offer some insight into a ndiswrapper problem? it recognizes my device, but dmesg tell me the windows driver couldn't initialize
[03:16] <Shaun__> @ANDolf: yeah. Plus, trying to run a server on windows basically fails... horribly lol.
[03:16] <sparky-> shaun__: then there's no real need to run a firewall is there?  well, until you can figure out how to modify the firewall rule (i'm sure the doc is on your computer somewhere) you can shut firewall down for a bit and test things out
[03:16] <ANDolf> CFHowlett: 0280: boardcom corp bcm4312 ...
[03:16] <CFHowlett> bingo!
[03:16] <curiousx> ciao a tutti
[03:16] <CFHowlett> ANDolf   see the following.  I enabled the exact same chip offline with just the installation disk  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[03:16] <CFHowlett> !it|curiousx
[03:17] <Shaun__> @sparky that's my problem. I am not quite sure how to edit the Linux firewall... at all. I have a router Firewall, and can forward the port. Shouldn't have to worry about DMZ.
[03:17] <Shaun__> My knowledge of linux consists of ifconfig, netstat, sudo make install, and a teamspeak command lols... sorry for being so clueless xD
[03:18] <curiousx> grazie CFHowlett
[03:18] <sparky-> shaun__: how are you running this machine anyway?  it seems to be .. what .. kvm or xen or some such?  is that right?
[03:18] <ANDolf> CFHowlett: i can plug in or use another pc which is online. is one of those two required?
[03:18] <Shaun__> Xen I believe?
[03:19] <CFHowlett> ANDolf  your preference.  Personally, I found it ridiculously easy to perform the STA installation no internet access method
[03:19] <sparky-> shaun__: okay, yeah i was afraid of that :-)  you might have to ask someone else ... if they know how to get your machine to accept the inbound connection under Xen.
[03:19] <Shaun__> The server was working fine two days ago... been running for a little over a year and a half now. Then yesterday this randomly happens lol.
[03:19] <Shaun__> Well, I say Xen because I saw Xen in the update installing lol.
[03:20] <Shaun__> I don't really know what either one is, or such. Thank you for the help, I appreciate it much. Possibly disabling the firewall completely may help?
[03:20] <Geodesical> Hello. I am trying to use Brasero Burner to burn MP3s to a disc, but when I try to move the .mp3 file from my Music folder to the Brasero menu, it says that the file isn't suitable for playback. Any help?
[03:20] <sparky-> shaun__: i dunno ... i've never had time to play around with xen.  always fighting the next fire, you know.  and we just disable xen instead of trying to get things to work with it :-p
[03:20] <ANDolf> Where is System->Administration?
[03:20] <Shaun__> Maybe I could disable Xen? It seems like a pain owo
[03:21] <CFHowlett> ANDolf   I take it you're on 11.10?
[03:21] <Shaun__> Or... at least check to make sure I am running Xen? I have no clue, to be quite honest xD . I am... a newb o3o
[03:21] <ANDolf> 12
[03:21] <sparky-> shaun__: pretty sure you are running xen, that's why you have the virtualized bridging interface (virbr0)
[03:22] <donsd> !
[03:22] <Shaun__> >.< well... if all else fails... I could back up my server and start from scratch with KVM then? owo
[03:22] <sparky-> virtualization isn't something you'd take lightly, especially as a newbie :-)
[03:22] <sparky-> shaun__: unless you wanna learn, of course
[03:23] <ANDolf> CFHowlett: 12
[03:23] <Shaun__> I do want to learn, eventually... however the server has been unable to recieve connections since yesterday... and I should be getting it back online first, before I play with anything >.<
[03:23] <Guest881> what do you think the for compiz kde gnome unity?
[03:23] <sparky-> shaun__: if you have non-xen kernels installed, i'd boot to that first
[03:23] <Geodesical> Does anyone have any tips on how to get Brasero to play .mp3 files?
[03:24] <CFHowlett> ANDolf   12.04?  I'd ASSUME the method works, but I'm 10.04.   Get help with the 12.04 specific stuff @ #ubuntu+1
[03:24] <sparky-> shaun__: reboot, hold down left-shift key (that'll get you grub boot menu), see if you have plain vanilla kernel (non-xen, non-kvm)
[03:24] <sparky-> shaun__: or just ls /boot/*
[03:24] <CFHowlett> Geodesical   won't play at all.
[03:24] <CFHowlett> Geodesical   won't play at all.?
[03:25] <Geodesical> Nope, it just says that the files are unsuitable for playback. I'm attempting to burn files to a disc.
[03:25] <ANDolf> search does not even bring up anythin for administration
[03:25] <Shaun__> Okay, I am using PuTTY atm because my box is in another room... so try command and then if that doesn't work I will go try reboot? Thank you, sparky :D
[03:25] <ANDolf> still not intuitive
[03:25] <sparky-> geodesical: if you wanna burn CDDA audio disks they have to be in specific format
[03:25] <ANDolf> try every 6 months and see if it works on netbooks out of the box lol
[03:25] <hydrox24> Geodesical: have you installed ubuntu-restricted
[03:25] <trism> ANDolf: additional drivers in System Settings
[03:25] <sparky-> geodesical: and they have to be padded as well.  try googling for how to resample your files to .WAV file before you burn to CDDA audio disks
[03:26] <CFHowlett> Geodesical   recommend audacity for preparing *cdda* audio
[03:26] <Geodesical> No, I don't believe I have. Could I install that using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted?
[03:26] <ANDolf> its activated and in use lol
[03:27] <CFHowlett> Geodesical   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:27] <PeoplesAdvocate> Will ubuntu 12.04 have the latest django framework in application repository?
[03:27] <curiousx> hey! but Brasero convert and burn cdda on the fly
[03:27] <CFHowlett> !precise|PeoplesAdvocate
[03:27] <curiousx> oh! excuseme =(
[03:27] <CFHowlett> curiousx   no, I don't believe it does ...
[03:28] <Shaun__> sparky: http://pastebin.com/TRkJ7U1c
[03:29] <curiousx> i mean if you have .mp3 and you want yo convert and burn to a cdda just have to burn it as a... i don remember ill install brasera for see that =P
[03:30] <sparky-> shaun__: you like unusual stuff :-)  PAE?  (physical address extension).  you got a 32-bit system with lots of memory or something?
[03:30] <Shaun__> The system running the server is a 32bit with about 1.5gig in it, if I recall correctly owo
[03:30] <Geodesical> curiousx: I have CD-R discs, does disc format matter?
[03:30] <Shaun__> that's all lol
[03:30] <blackmatrix_ny> hey folks, my port 631 is being used by lpp...is that bad ?
[03:30] <sparky-> shaun__: you don't need PAE for that!
[03:30] <curiousx> no matter
[03:31] <Shaun__> I don't even know what PAE is owo
[03:31] <Shaun__> I just installed Linux and ran with it
[03:31] <sparky-> shaun__: it's if you want to address way more than 4GB with 32-bit system
[03:31] <Shaun__> o.o I see,
[03:31] <Geodesical> curiousx: Alright. Is CDDA a file format or lingo for something else?
[03:31] <sparky-> shaun__: why not just install vanilla 3.0.17, no xen, no kvm, no pae :-)  plain
[03:32] <CFHowlett> Geodesical   cdda is an encoding format
[03:32] <Zoffix> Man.... So I'm still having no luck of installing Ubuntu on any kind of Mirror RAID (both BIOS, and now I tried creating a software one from live CD). Grub just won't install...  I tried: sudo grub-install /dev/md0 and I get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).... Any suggestions? I wasted 6 hours on this already >_<
[03:32] <CFHowlett> Geodesical   "the book of audacity" has an extensive section on creating cdda media
[03:32] <myasin> Hi
[03:33] <curiousx> ok so if... you have a .mp3 and you want yo convert and burn to a cdda just have to burn it as a "Audio Proyect, Create a traditional audio CD"
[03:33] <sparky-> zoffix: you can install ubuntu (linux generally) on software raid fairly easily.  at what point is it not working for you?
[03:33] <psusi> Geodesical, it's both.. stands for CD Digital Audio... the format of standard audio cds... which is to say, 16 bit 44.1 khz stereo
[03:33] <myasin> Im, newin ubuntu
[03:33] <curiousx> and the magics begin =P
[03:33] <myasin> I'm new in ubuntu
[03:33] <anthropos> Zoffix, you almost surely want to use the software raid unless you have real hw raid (which is unlikely)
[03:33] <myasin> Can webcam chat here ?
[03:33] <CFHowlett> Geodesical   http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/audio/9781593272708/multitrack-recording/ntsc_comma_pal_comma_and_cdda_frames#X2ludGVybmFsX0ZsYXNoUmVhZGVyP3htbGlkPTk3ODE1OTMyNzI3MDgvbnRzY19jb21tYV9wYWxfY29tbWFfYW5kX2NkZGFfZnJhbWVz
[03:33] <CFHowlett> myasin   no chat only
[03:33] <Shaun__> I very well could... so... I'll just reinstall linux with Vanilla? Lol thank you. Again, I just went through a standard install and started my server and DUC up. Anything else came from those options in the update (that I had no idea what they meant), or... well, mistake maybe lol.
[03:33] <Geodesical> psusi: Holy Cow, some nice aseterica there.
[03:33] <Shaun__> You are talking to a real Linux newb here :P
[03:33] <sparky-> zoffix: keep in mind grub can ONLY boot from raid-0 or raid-1 /boot partition, nothing else
[03:34] <curiousx> i mean this is usefull if you have a stereo that doesnt support .mp3
[03:34] <Zoffix> sparky-, it seems to install everything just fine, but exits with an error when trying to install grub. I tried installing 11.10 and 12.04 (on live session 12.04 right now)
[03:34] <psusi> Zoffix, if you chrooted into the system from the livecd, you need to bind mount /dev, /proc, and /sys
[03:34] <Zoffix> sparky-, what do you mean by that? Right now I only created '/' partition and swap... Am I missing something?
[03:35] <Zoffix> psusi, that flew right over my head. Sorry
[03:35] <sparky-> shaun__: well, if it's not too much pain, i would reinstall linux on your server :-)  who knew what special-sauce ubuntu installed with your selected xen/pae option ;-)
[03:35] <psusi> sparky-, not true... grub2 can boot from anything ;)
[03:35] <sparky-> psusi: it can?
[03:35] <Geodesical> Shaun__: Don't worry man, I know how ya feel... (n00bs to da max!)
[03:35] <psusi> sparky-, yep... it can boot from lvm on top of raid5
[03:35] <sparky-> zoffix: mmm, are you installing from alternate cd or something?
[03:35] <Shaun__> Geodesical: yeeeah!
[03:35] <sparky-> psusi: i mean the /boot partition
[03:36] <psusi> sparky-, yep... don't even need a separate /boot partition
[03:36] <Shaun__> sparky-: Thank you so much, I will just back up my DUC and Server files and reinstall...
[03:36] <sparky-> psusi: how in the heck can grub2 get lvm going?
[03:36] <psusi> sparky-, because it is super slick? ;)
[03:36] <sparky-> psusi: that seems too fantastical to believe :-)
[03:36] <Shaun__> aside from the reinstall itself... nothing should change and everything should be much easier when done... unless people still can't connect. At which I might just punch a hold in my monitor =\
[03:37] <Zoffix> sparky-, no regular CD. There were two options "Use full disk" or "Something else", I chose something else.. Actually, I even already tried using the "use full disk", when I had raid setup through BIOS. It still errored out the same.
[03:37] <Shaun__> hole*
[03:37] <psusi> sparky-, it has modules for everything...
[03:37]  * Zoffix goes over to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[03:38] <psusi> Zoffix, if you had set up the fakeraid before, you need to destroy it to stop using it, not just disable the support in the bios
[03:39] <Zoffix> psusi, did that. I deleted the array, then switched SATA mode to IDE in BIOS...
[03:39] <psusi> Zoffix, leave it on raid or ahci
[03:39] <sparky-> zoffix: the general idea is to manually set up the drives identically.  fdisk if you must.  have one small /boot partition at beginning, 128MB or so.  one / partition.  one swap.  make both disks have the same layout.  come back when you're done
[03:39] <sparky-> zoffix: no need to switch to IDE mode.  AHCI is fine
[03:39] <psusi> also you want to use the alternate installer to set up raid
[03:40] <sparky-> yeah, alternate installer would be the best choice
[03:40] <psusi> the desktop cd doesn't support software raid without some manual hacking
[03:40] <Zoffix> Ah.
[03:40] <psusi> though it generally just works with fakeraid
[03:40] <sparky-> zoffix: kind of why i asked first whether you were using alternate installer :-)
[03:40] <bitplane-> is there a chat room for development on ubuntu? I have some dumb getting started questions
[03:41] <CFHowlett> #ubuntustudio-devel
[03:41] <bazhang> bitplane-, #ubuntu-devel
[03:41] <bitplane-> super, thanks :)
[03:41] <CFHowlett> bazhang   ack!  right.  thanks for the correction.
[03:41] <sparky-> vi is all the IDE i need :-)
[03:43] <psusi> Zoffix, you are setting up a raid1?
[03:43] <sparky-> psusi: i think he's downloading the alternate installer ;-)
[03:44] <Zoffix> psusi, yeah, basically I have two 1TB drives, and I want my stuff to persist if one of them dies :)
[03:44] <psusi> Zoffix, you do know that's no substitute for backup right?  raid is about avoiding downtime, not data loss...
[03:44] <Zoffix> psusi, really?
[03:44] <sparky-> where are you going to back up terrabyte of data, another drive?
[03:45] <psusi> yea... if you rm -fr, or something goes wrong and corrupts your fs, mirroring isn't going to save your data
[03:45] <Zoffix> Hm.. Good point.
[03:45] <sparky-> the other drive is going to suffer the same fate ... (read error rate, etc.)
[03:45] <desomorphine> WINDOWS 7 IS SO COOL GUYS
[03:45] <azend> xD
[03:45] <psusi> so worry about backup first rather than raid... back up to the second drive and then unplug it and throw it in a fire proof safe ;)
[03:46] <CFHowlett> desomorphine You're clearly in the wrong channel.
[03:46] <sparky-> oh protecting against accidental deletion is easy .. snapshot or run amanda to generate incrementals to a separate area of the drive if you don't want to snapshot
[03:46] <Zoffix> Maybe I should just give up on this thing. Have two separate drives, and have a rdp (or whatever the name is) run ever so often to backup.
[03:46] <bazhang> desomorphine, ##windows
[03:46] <bitplane-> CFHowlett: dishin' out troll snacks? I'll have some
[03:46] <sparky-> zoffix: how much of 1TB is truly important to you?  (as in, family pictures, etc., not porn)
[03:47]  * CFHowlett resisting urge to go full Samuel L. Jackson mode ...
[03:47] <Zoffix> sparky-, maybe 10-20GB, really... Just scans of my drawing and some writing..
[03:47] <psusi> Zoffix, of course, if you had a *third* drive... you could run the first two as a raid10 and get both redundancy if one fails, and better speed, then still make daily backups to the external drive ( and keep it in a fire proof safe when not backign up )
[03:47] <Zoffix> Hm
[03:47] <pokuy> guys need help how to setup webcam in skype
[03:48] <sparky-> zoffix: then, here's what i would do ... i would buy TWO usb drives.  keep one at home.  keep one in the office (in case house burns down or FBI raids you)
[03:48] <bitplane-> yep and set up dejadup or rsync to sync stuff
[03:48] <pokuy> sparky-, how to setup webcam in skype
[03:48] <bitplane-> or put all your data on MegaUpload, then delete the local copy. I hear that's quite fashionable
[03:49] <sparky-> zoffix: you can do simple tar backup, or if you're lazy, you would set up amanda to automatically back up to a usb drive you keep at home.  (this gives you incrementals as well, comes in handy)
[03:49] <mezzuchi> >megaupload
[03:49] <desomorphine> do you guys know how to defragment my windows harddrive?
[03:49] <desomorphine> (megaupload?)
[03:49] <bazhang> desomorphine, ask in ##windows
[03:49] <Zoffix> OK.. All good points. I don't need RAID. I'm rebooting now, installing on a single drive and have the second drive as backup holder and extra space :)
[03:49] <mezzuchi> desomorphine there's an option in control panel.
[03:49] <psusi> desomorphine, yea... using windows
[03:49] <CFHowlett> desomorphine    ##windows is not supported here.
[03:49] <Zoffix> Thanks!
[03:49] <Pancakez> I've been happily running 11.10, but suddenly youtube videos are tinted blue, and text in chromium seems to randomly loose pixels/have lines through it. I upgraded my nvidia-drivers to nvidia-current-updates, and replaced the flashplugin-installer package with the adobe-flashplugin. Neither had any effect. anybody have any ideas?
[03:50] <bitplane-> Pancakez: you may need to remove gnash
[03:50] <zeroedout> bitplane-:  this happens with flash as well
[03:50] <zeroedout> Pancakez: right click the video --> settings ---> disable hardware acceleration
[03:50] <zeroedout> ofcourse then no HW accel, but atleast video will look normal
[03:51] <sparky-> yeah, i don't even want to run software raid-1 anymore ... the time it takes to rebuild a machine via, say, kickstart is smaller than array rebuild
[03:51] <Pancakez> bitplane-: I don't seem to have gnash installed
[03:51] <sparky-> kickstarting an RHEL6 machine with everything (sorry) takes about 1:25 anyway ... so our cluster is really disposable that way
[03:51] <bitplane-> Pancakez: ah, sorry. ignore me then
[03:51] <CFHowlett> Pancakez   known bug  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/968647
[03:52] <psusi> sparky-, yea, but the array can rebuild in the background while you keep working... and raid10 instead of raid1 gets you twice the speed too
[03:52] <sparky-> psusi: when you have 2000+ cpu, you don't care :-)
[03:53] <S-WorksSL4> I get the "Aw Snap" error message everytime loading a youtube video in chromium.  Any suggestions?
[03:54] <mezzuchi> aw snap?
[03:54] <bitplane-> S-WorksSL4: sounds like a flash problem. try joining YouTube's HTML5 preview
[03:54] <bitplane-> erm beta
[03:54] <mezzuchi> ugh.
[03:54] <mezzuchi> flash.
[03:54] <bitplane-> http://www.youtube.com/html5
[03:55] <Pancakez> CFHowlett: ok, thanks. I don't really want to remove libvdpau1 though :(
[03:55] <sparky-> mezzuchi: that's what apple says
[03:55] <DocPlatypus> been having a strange problem with GNU Backgammon (gnubg) on 11.10 oneiric. Mouse clicks quit working until a keyboard command is issued, this never happened on 11.04.
[03:55] <S-WorksSL4> Thanks, I'll try that.  Maybe there is another "player" in ubuntu to avoid having to use flash in general?
[03:55] <diamonds> how do I type u with umlaut
[03:56] <diamonds> compose+"+u works not
[03:56] <mezzuchi> I switched to linux to get rid of my flash problems. and it did. although flash performance is slow at times.
[03:56] <Shaun__> sparky-: thank you again! I will be logging off, I appreciate your help so much!!
[03:56] <sparky-> diamonds: check your keymap.  what is it now?  US?
[03:56] <diamonds> yes
[03:56] <diamonds> how did you know? ;)
[03:57] <sparky-> diamonds: that one doesn't like diacriticals :-)  why not use some other keymap?
[03:57] <bitplane-> mezzuchi: the only real way to get rid of flash problems is to stop using it!
[03:57] <mezzuchi> so true.
[03:57] <S-WorksSL4> Bit plane... I'm listening! :)
[03:57] <diamonds> sparky-: k? I can't use US keymap and type umaults?
[03:57] <sparky-> diamonds: pretty sure you can't
[03:57] <desomorphine> no one is responding on ##windows. i need help!!!!
[03:57] <diamonds> I can type ų ú etc..
[03:57] <sparky-> let's see ...
[03:57] <mezzuchi> desomorphine
[03:58] <mezzuchi> how can I help?
[03:58] <bazhang> desomorphine, you never asked anything there.
[03:58] <diamonds> why the cedilla is more important than the umlaut, idk
[03:58] <desomorphine> yes I did
[03:58] <parco> anyone know how to send a mouse click location from a putty window?
[03:58] <desomorphine> defragmenting my harddrive
[03:58] <mezzuchi> about defrag?
[03:58] <bazhang> desomorphine, try joining the channel First
[03:58] <mezzuchi> oh!
[03:58] <mezzuchi> right click on the drive and go to the properties menu
[03:58] <desomorphine> ok
[03:58] <diamonds> OK let me do it the easy ubuntu way
[03:58] <diamonds> because the openness is helping me so
[03:59] <mezzuchi> tools>defrag
[03:59] <mezzuchi> done.
[03:59] <desomorphine> I see it! thankss mezzuchi!!
[03:59] <diamonds> "CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TYPE ME A LOWERCASE A WITH AN UMLAUT OVER IT"
[03:59] <mezzuchi> your welcome.
[03:59] <bazhang> diamonds, lose the caps
[03:59] <diamonds> god I'm glad I'm not using a mac right
[03:59] <diamonds> fuck steve jobs, amirite??
[03:59] <sparky-> diamonds: huh ... what do you know .. you can! :-)
[03:59] <bazhang> diamonds, and watch the language
[03:59] <diamonds> sparky-: I can??
[03:59] <diamonds> bazhang: noted
[03:59] <diamonds> how??
[04:00] <sparky-> diamonds: well, i just set my compose key to pause (it's convenient) and "+u = umlaut, hmm.
[04:00] <mezzuchi> charmap
[04:00] <sddhrthrt> guys! I'm using ubuntu 10.04
[04:00] <diamonds> mezzuchi: that is not a solution
[04:00] <mezzuchi> sorry.
[04:00] <sddhrthrt> and my rhythmbox alwas pops up a hundred windows saying
[04:00] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, whats the issue
[04:00] <diamonds> I can search !unicode u with umlaut as well
[04:00] <sddhrthrt> couldn't find suitable plugin
[04:00] <sddhrthrt> :/
[04:00] <diamonds> but that's not really convenient
[04:00] <sparky-> diamonds: are you doing this in an app that doesn't like utf-8 maybe?  try it in gedit first
[04:00] <sddhrthrt> apparently, for Windows media audio
[04:01] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, all on one line, thats impossible to read
[04:01] <sddhrthrt> but i have installed the whole restricted-extras
[04:01] <diamonds> argh
[04:01] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, then install w32codecs from medibuntu.org
[04:01] <diamonds> úúųu/
[04:01] <sddhrthrt> :) you sure?
[04:01] <sparky-> üüüüüüüüüüüüü <- here goes, JUST for you to cut & paste :-)
[04:02] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, no, but try.
[04:02] <mezzuchi> would you guys mind if I shared a video?
[04:02] <sddhrthrt> sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
[04:02] <bazhang> mezzuchi, not here
[04:02] <diamonds> so it's seriously the case that I can type cedillas, but no umlauts, with a US ubuntu kb layout?
[04:02] <sddhrthrt> oh sory :D
[04:02] <mezzuchi> didn't think so.
[04:02] <diamonds> that is so faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[04:02] <mezzuchi> nvm then.
[04:02] <sparky-> diamonds: i just did
[04:02] <S-WorksSL4> First 3 videos of youtube/html5... "Aw Snap"  Do I have to disable flash plugin first you think, or uninstall flash in ubuntu?
[04:02] <diamonds> sparky-: no you didn't
[04:03] <sparky-> diamonds: i didn't?
[04:03] <sddhrthrt> OH, and anyone, any idea when the Spark thing from Google is being officially releeased?
[04:03] <diamonds> you have english (US)?
[04:03] <sparky-> diamonds: yes
[04:03] <sddhrthrt> the Linux-based tablet?
[04:03] <bazhang> !ot | sddhrthrt
[04:03] <diamonds> and you typed what now?
[04:03] <sparky-> diamonds: ü
[04:03] <diamonds> how
[04:03] <bitplane-> S-WorksSL4: Sounds like it's something else other than flash, unless there's flash ads in there or something
[04:03] <sparky-> diamonds: <pause>"u  <- pause is my compose key
[04:04] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: ok :P
[04:05] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: Its already installed. :?
[04:05] <S-WorksSL4> Bitplane.. thanks for the support.  I'll keep playing around with it.  When I break it I'll just come back and ask for help :)  Thanks again!
[04:05] <sparky-> diamonds: you *did* hit the shift key to get to the " right?
[04:05] <diamonds> sparky-: ú
[04:05] <diamonds> ^
[04:06] <diamonds>  it is simply not an umlaut
[04:06] <sparky-> eh?
[04:06] <diamonds> compose+" u
[04:06] <sparky-> it sure IS an umlaut on my side
[04:06] <diamonds> ???????????
[04:06] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, some wma are unplayable
[04:06] <sparky-> diamonds: maybe you need bigger font :-)
[04:06] <diamonds> what?
[04:06] <wrostek2> Im trying to bisect a problem with my rt2x00 wireless drivers. In 3.0.0-16-generic oneiric it works, but in 3.1.0-1-generic precise it does not.   How do I get a git pull of changes between those kernels? they are on two separate repositories no?  git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git and git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-oneiric.git
[04:06] <diamonds> what you are typing is umlauts
[04:06] <sparky-> diamonds: joke .. joke ...
[04:06] <diamonds> what I am is not
[04:06] <diamonds> oh
[04:06] <sparky-> diamonds: oh
[04:06] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: but why does it keep bugging for codecs? it gives error windows. what to do about that?
[04:07] <diamonds> ok
[04:07] <diamonds> so ubuntu just doesn't do umlauts out of the box for US users
[04:07] <sparky-> diamonds: dunno ... maybe you have something weird in your keymap or something ... works for me (i didn't expect it to, but it did)
[04:07] <diamonds> I have to go c/p from the internet like a windows user
[04:07] <sparky-> diamonds: my setup is pretty much "out of the box"
[04:08] <sddhrthrt> Anybody, How to disable 'codecs missing' or 'plugins missing' errors in rhythmbox?
[04:08] <sparky-> diamonds: dude .. i think i know
[04:08] <diamonds> 'uúúíü
[04:08] <sparky-> diamonds: i think you didn't hit the SHIFT key to get to the "
[04:08] <diamonds> omg I did it
[04:09] <diamonds> ü
[04:09] <diamonds> aha!!! :D
[04:09] <diamonds> it's compose+shift+" u
[04:09] <sparky-> diamonds: if you didn't hit shift, you'd get the ' <- which is NOT ", hence compose gives you accent acute
[04:09] <diamonds> hahaha!!
[04:09] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, if its a track that wont play, like some wma, then you dont
[04:09] <diamonds> pebkac! :D
[04:09] <sparky-> diamonds: that's what i've been telling you!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!one
[04:09] <diamonds> hahhahahaah!
[04:10] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: I have a big library! so about 40-50 tracks will complain about that.. and i'll have to close 40-50 such windows before anything can even start playing
[04:10] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: its such an annoyance! that made me shift from rhythmbox to cmus! but i'm sticking just because of the media keys that dont work in cmus
[04:10] <diamonds> +1 sparky- for patience
[04:10] <sparky-> diamonds: got any more accented characters you want me to type for you to cut & paste later?
[04:11] <diamonds> well... since you mention it
[04:11] <diamonds> could you transcribe Faustus for me?
[04:11] <sparky-> diamonds: sure!  T'was brillig and the mighty toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe
[04:11] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, then get your music in a universally played format like mp3.
[04:11] <bazhang> !ot | sparky-  diamonds
[04:11] <diamonds> all mimsy were the borogroves and the mome raths outgrabe
[04:11] <diamonds> yeah that ain't faust
[04:12] <sddhrthrt> :/ wma is _pretty_ universal!
[04:12] <sparky-> well, time for me to go anyway.  night all.
[04:13] <sddhrthrt> Oh, another thing that bugged me recently.. i made some color configuration in my gnome-terminal. How can i exxport it for later use?
[04:15] <sddhrthrt> Oh, another thing that bugged me recently.. i made some color configuration in my gnome-terminal. How can i exxport it for later use?
[04:15] <desomorphine> how do I boot into safe mode?
[04:16] <bazhang> desomorphine, hold shift at boot
[04:16] <desomorphine> (on windows 7)
[04:16] <bazhang> desomorphine, this is not windows support, so stop asking here
[04:17] <ubuntu_> hi
[04:18] <sddhrthrt> hi ubottu
[04:18] <sddhrthrt> hi ubuntu_
[04:21] <bitplane-> does the onscreen keyboard show up by default if you boot ubuntu without a keyboard attached?
[04:21] <bitplane-> I can't test, I'm on a laptop atm
[04:27] <LinuxRants> Everybody say something funny. I'm taking a screen shot.
[04:27] <bazhang> LinuxRants, #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:28] <AcidRain> i have a question about using software that creates an image of your current harddisk. does that image have to be restored on that same computer. incase if your mobo goes out... will the harddisk still function properly
[04:28] <AcidRain> assuming you get a new mobo of course
[04:29] <bazhang> AcidRain, like clonzezilla? or what
[04:29] <bazhang> -z
[04:29] <AcidRain> any type of cloning software. does it have to be reinstalled on the same disk, using the same computer with the hardware that it was setup to run with?
[04:29] <bazhang> AcidRain, of course not
[04:30] <AcidRain> like a realtek driver, when perhaps another lan card would use a different chipset
[04:30] <bazhang> so you'd install it later
[04:30] <AcidRain> out
[04:30] <AcidRain> ouch*
[04:30] <bazhang> ?
[04:30] <AcidRain> that would be alot of modifications
[04:31] <bazhang> AcidRain, was there an actual ubuntu support question you had?
[04:31] <AcidRain> i have an onboard realtek chipset. so... perhaps the next 1 is onboard. then what?
[04:31] <AcidRain> well this is about backing up my ubuntu system :)
[04:31] <bazhang> AcidRain, since it's theoretical theres no way to answer
[04:32] <AcidRain> hmmm. ok thx for the help though
[04:32] <sddhrthrt> AcidRain: If you make major changees in your motherboard, ofcourse the new restored operating system will not be compatible
[04:33] <AcidRain> sddhrthrt: ok. well what about this...... errr....
[04:33] <AcidRain> there is just no way to insure that my epic work on this hdd will be safe from destruction.
[04:33] <AcidRain> because of so much configuration
[04:34] <AcidRain> i mean dont get me wrong. i could do it. but... things in ubuntu that i have configured take time
[04:34] <AcidRain> alot of time
[04:34] <sddhrthrt> AcidRain: tell me about it! i backed up my ubuntu 10.04 before trynig to upgrade to ubuntu 12.04, things got messy there, came back, found the backup simply wouldn't work.
[04:34] <AcidRain> i wrote a little bash script to backup my important files every morning at 3. but idk if that would be just as good as using something better?
[04:34] <sddhrthrt> Took all the pain to reconfigure.
[04:35] <sddhrthrt> backing up: sid-rt.blogspot.com
[04:35] <sddhrthrt> :D
[04:35] <AcidRain> sddhrthrt: yeah thats what im scared of
[04:35] <sddhrthrt> But trustt me AcidRain, It just gets better when you reconfigure it!
[04:36] <AcidRain> sddhrthrt: lol. this is the better version right here. i just recently lost all my files. this is why im so concerned in a reliable way to get this done
[04:37] <sddhrthrt> i dunno. I didnt know that a repartitioning would remove all scope of recoverability. I tried making nnecessary changes after restoring, but no success.
[04:37] <wylde> AcidRain, I wish I could recall the name of the package, something to do with saving your configuration to a cd or image... I just can't think of the name atm.
[04:38] <AcidRain> wylde: if you remember, that would be great. but saving a "configuration" is still a concern. i have made the epic mistake of installing packages that werent compatible with my version of ubuntu, and things went very very bad
[04:38] <AcidRain> just sayin, if i had 10.04, crashed, installed 12.0. what "configuration" would try to be restored?
[04:38] <AcidRain> could end up losing all of it?
[04:39] <sddhrthrt> wylde: remastersys?
[04:42] <hydrox24> AcidRain: you can still forcibly remove packages with dpkg I imagine, even if it requires a liveCD and chroot.
[04:42] <god-zotac> does anyone here have the E350/450 series Zotac Zbox that uses the eSATA port?  I need someone to test a custom kernel I have for the Zbox, if anyone uses the eSATA port that can verify it as working I'd appreciate it.  Also if you own the Zbox amd e350 and are interested in using the custom kernel let me know. feel free to PM me
[04:51] <Administ1ator> hi all noone typing
[04:53] <goddard> anyone using office 2010 on ubuntu?
[04:54] <sddhrthrt> funny name, Administ1ator .
[04:54] <bazhang> goddard, check the appdb and join #winehq
[04:54] <bazhang> !appdb | goddard
[04:54] <bazhang> sddhrthrt, please stop with that
[04:54] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: Actually, i once thought admin was asking ppl to type somethnig!
[04:55] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: no offence meant, anyway.
[04:55] <goddard> i didn't ask how to install but thanks :D
[04:55] <bazhang> goddard, using wine
[04:56] <goddard> yeah didn't ask how to install but thanks
[04:56] <bazhang> goddard, then why poll the channel
[04:56] <goddard> why do anything?
[04:56] <bazhang> goddard, what does that have to do with ubuntu support, precisely?
[04:57] <goddard> bazhang: why do my ubuntu icons disappear on my toolbar on boot?
[04:59] <Administ1ator> hi ALL
[04:59] <sddhrthrt> bazhang: isn't ^^ this spam? o.O
[05:04] <goddard> Administ1ator: hi
[05:04] <dark_> hi
[05:05] <stumper> hey!
[05:05] <goddard> new ubuntu is coming out soon!
[05:05] <dark_> the first time
[05:05] <bazhang> !12.04 | goddard
[05:05] <philip__> guys, are these two commands function the same?
[05:06] <goddard> bazhang: thanks
[05:06] <FernandoCueva> how to know if I have xorg 6.9 or later
[05:06] <philip__> first: sudo aa-complain /usr/bin/firefox
[05:06] <dark_> why i could only write several xord
[05:06] <goddard> bazhang: any idea about why my icons disappear i have been asking this question in the channel for like a week now .. i wish i could find out
[05:06] <bazhang> FernandoCueva, which version of ubuntu
[05:06] <FernandoCueva> lubuntu 10.04
[05:06] <philip__> second: sudo aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox
[05:08] <bazhang> Version 1:7.5+5ubuntu1.1 (lucid)   FernandoCueva
[05:10] <wylde> FernandoCueva, you can always do apt-cache policy xorg
[05:11] <goddard> wylde: nice thats a good one thanks
[05:12] <FernandoCueva> what version is that 7.7?
[05:12] <FernandoCueva> 7.5
[05:15] <philip__> ..and something more serious: flash player doesn't work. 11.04 clean install, and also 11.10 on another hard disk yesterday.
[05:16] <goddard> how do i mount an iso?
[05:16] <goddard> philip__: if all you do is watch youtube gnash works
[05:17] <philip__> well it doesn't work everywhere. sites, etc.
[05:18] <goddard> nope it sure doesn't
[05:18] <goddard> cant wait for html5
[05:18] <Lace57> philip__ do you happen to use firefox?
[05:18] <philip__> yes lace.
[05:18] <goddard> adobe worked for me until the last update then all my colors got inverted
[05:19] <Lace57> you can reate a folder named plugins in your firefox profile folder and put the libflashplayer.so in there
[05:19] <Lace57> create*
[05:19] <sddhrthrt> goddard: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[05:19] <sddhrthrt> put libflashplayer.so there.
[05:21] <Lace57> i stopped using flashplayer almost completely, only activate it when youtube videos won't play in html5 (the ones with ads)
[05:21] <curiousx> or /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/
[05:21] <curiousx> this is the default path
[05:22] <sddhrthrt> curiousx: always workedd for me with the one i said
[05:22] <curiousx> sddhrthrt: the same
[05:23] <almoxarife> !info adobe-flash
[05:24] <eboy> !info flashplugin-installer
[05:25] <almoxarife> !info adobe-flashplugin
[05:28] <almoxarife> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin <-- its there
[05:36] <philip__> creating the folder plugins in .mozilla and placing libflashplayer.so worked. Thanks guys.
[05:37] <goddard> how do i mount an iso?
[05:37] <dr_willis> !iso
[05:37] <goddard> there isn't a gui way?
[05:38] <dr_willis> somewherw there is..
[05:38] <bazhang> !find gmount
[05:38] <goddard> i tried "Archive Mounter" but it didn't work
[05:38] <bazhang> !info gmountiso | goddard
[05:38] <goddard> nice thanks
[05:39] <philip__> goddard, what kind of iso is that?
[05:39] <goddard> office 2010
[05:39] <philip__> ah ok.
[05:40] <goddard> gonna try and install with playonlinux
[05:40] <dr_willis> good luck......
[05:40] <philip__> it should work.
[05:40] <goddard> prove to some people you can use office on linux
[05:40] <philip__> wine+playonliux have gone too far.
[05:41] <goddard> i personally dont care for it but the reason i know most people stick to windows is 1 familiarity but 2 office
[05:41] <dr_willis> i honestly know no one that uses office anymore...
[05:42] <dr_willis> but im not in any 'business' enviroment
[05:42] <philip__> well. the only thing i miss right now from wine is usb support. nothing else.
[05:42] <goddard> dr_willis: most academic or business stuff i guess .. it is probably getting less popular
[05:43] <dr_willis> ive given away many openoffice cd's in the past. ;)
[05:43] <dr_willis> abiword does 99% of what i need.
[05:44] <demonboy> hi guys i have an issue i need help w/
[05:45] <philip__> i only used win for a month.. never again.
[05:45] <anthropos> some office products have no viable replacement in linux yet (imo), namely powerpoint
[05:46] <dr_willis> do wee need to ask for details demonboy
[05:46] <philip__> true anthropos.
[05:46] <goddard> ? powerpoint has a replacement
[05:46] <anthropos> i think it's the only MS software I use, and I just run it in a virtual machine
[05:46] <goddard> Libreoffice Impress
[05:46] <anthropos> libreoffice impress is NOT a replacement for powerpoint, at least not if you give a lot of talks
[05:47] <goddard> why?
[05:47] <anthropos> it's not nearly as functional. i wish it was
[05:47] <goddard> how?
[05:47] <demonboy> im on ubuntu studio 10.04 LTS kernel: 2.6.36-020636-generic
[05:47] <anthropos> try the two and compare
[05:47] <dr_willis> i cant recall a powerpoint presentatio that wasent more then a slideshow...
[05:47] <demonboy> any1 here familiar with nvidia settings and xserver on ubuntu studio?
[05:48] <demonboy> ubuntu studioś irc room is unresposive
[05:48] <dr_willis> demonboy:  many people use nvidia, and the nvidia-settings tool
[05:48] <anthropos> just ask your question and perhaps someone knows the answer
[05:48] <goddard> anthropos: i have and it does what i need it to do
[05:48] <serban> hi, im trying to make chromium run with no cache... i've managed to run it from the terminal but I can't force make it run with my params from the launchbar (--cache-dir
[05:49] <goddard> anthropos: i dont do anything fancy just black and white and then go to the next slide
[05:49] <anthropos> goddard, one can use it to make a presentation. but frankly, it's not nearly as good. and i say that despite sincerely wishing it was
[05:49] <rawfodog> why doesn't my razor lachesis not work in ubuntu ?"
[05:49] <demonboy> well im in low graphics mode now because the nvidia tool is saying to type a command and restart xserver i do tht and it just hangs at a black screen
[05:49] <rawfodog> shouldnt it use a default mouse driver ?
[05:49] <carmelo> hi there
[05:49] <goddard> anthropos: what feature is it missing specifically?
[05:49] <demonboy> it was working fine until i moved it
[05:49] <Guest47689> hi
[05:50] <anthropos> the built in vector graphics are not nearly as good, for example
[05:50] <curiousx> demonboy: are you using the propietary driver?
[05:50] <anthropos> it's alright if you just want text and images you insert
[05:50] <dr_willis> demonboy:  what command?
[05:51] <goddard> anthropos: ya i see
[05:51] <goddard> anthropos: i noticed that as well
[05:51] <demonboy> @ curiousx idk what tht is and @ dr_williis #nvidia-xconfig
[05:51] <oooaaaooo> hi guys i have a 11.04 system on a machine and would like to install windows 7 on it. Should I format it and make windows the first OS and then use the live CD to reinstall Ubuntu alongside win7 or is it safe to partition the current system and install win7 and the new partition?
[05:51] <curiousx> demonboy: sudo jockey-gtk
[05:51] <anthropos> goddard, I tried using *nix vector graphics editors, which are not bad, but it makes it much harder to go back and change the presentation when you all your figures are imported from outside applications
[05:51] <dr_willis> demonboy:  its a nvidia tool that tweaks or makes a xorg.conf file
[05:52] <dr_willis> demonboy:  the nvidia-settings tool  can do the same task
[05:52] <goddard> anthropos: are those editors have a backend library maybe?
[05:52] <demonboy> curious x i have the latest driver for nvidia installed
[05:52] <demonboy> and activated
[05:52] <anthropos> oooaaaooo, windows will nuke grub, but you can reinstall it. so you don't need to format the drive and start over
[05:52] <goddard> anthropos: maybe we should donate to libreoffice to help make it better
[05:53] <goddard> or put in some man hours
[05:53] <curiousx> what is the drivers version ?
[05:53] <demonboy> it says current
[05:53] <demonboy> lol
[05:53] <curiousx> the lastest for linux is 295.33
[05:53] <oooaaaooo> anthropos: I heard that updating win will also adversely affect grub, is that true?
[05:54] <demonboy> "(version current) (reccomended)"
[05:54] <dr_willis> oooaaaooo:  never seen that happen
[05:54] <anthropos> i don't know. but reinstalling windows will definitely nuke grub, oooaaaooo. you can repair it with a live cd/usb however
[05:54] <curiousx> demonboy: what is your graphic card
[05:55] <goddard> get the xswat version
[05:55] <demonboy> e-GeForce 8600 GTS
[05:55] <curiousx> demonboy: lets add a PPA in order to install 295.22 or 295.33
[05:55] <demonboy> whats a PPA
[05:55] <dr_willis> !ppa
[05:55] <curiousx> demonboy: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:55] <demonboy> curious wanna pm me?
[05:56] <curiousx> nop
[05:56] <demonboy> ok
[05:56] <curiousx> there it is the command
[05:57] <philip__> goddard, i'm using the same hardware with two different distros right now. As you imagine, the system behaves differenty. And i think of all that hardware someones needs to cover to catch up since, those companies we do pay too for their hardware, don't have an interest... oh well...
[05:57] <um__> anyone in here with debian6squeeze+xen experience?
[05:57] <agus_sintang> selamat datang
[05:58] <agus_sintang> wew um__
[05:58] <serban> how can I run chromium from the launchbar with --disk-cache-dir=/tmp or /dev/null ?
[05:59] <dman420> how do i hide my ip on irc on this network?? i looked on the website for the server
[06:00] <serban> dman420 go to #freenode i think and ask for cloaking, some freenode staff will turn it on for you
[06:00] <dman420> thanks
[06:01] <curiousx> serban: you have to edit the icon, give me a second to find a tutorial from ubuntu-guia is in spanish but you could translate it with google
[06:02] <oooaaaooo> anthropos: is it because windows tried to replace grub in the MBR?
[06:03] <agus_sintang> Super + R <<< Is it default zoom shortkey for 12.04 ? hehe, please help me
[06:03] <curiousx> serban: translate this link: http://www.ubuntu-guia.com/2011/04/quick-lists-lanzador-unity.html
[06:03] <serban> thanks
[06:03] <curiousx> you have to edit the chromium's icon in: /usr/share/applications/
[06:04] <curiousx> and in the line where puts: Exec=   you have to append the command
[06:05] <dr_willis> or make a custom launcher. or script that launches with the options
[06:05] <curiousx> dr_willis: ye
[06:05] <slightlycyborg> Hello Ubuntuers
[06:06] <dr_willis> moobuntu
[06:07] <slightlycyborg> Anyone need support
[06:08] <dr_willis> normally they will state a problem if they do. ;)
[06:08] <demonboy> ok i ran those commands
[06:08] <demonboy> now what restart x?
[06:08] <curiousx> reboot
[06:08] <slightlycyborg> I just wanted to get people talking
[06:08] <dr_willis> demonboy:  a reboot is ofetn needed after updateing the drivers
[06:09] <demonboy> thanks
[06:09] <demonboy> i'll be back after reboot
[06:09] <dr_willis> 'famous last words'
[06:09] <slightlycyborg> Haha. Only when bios updating
[06:10] <slightlycyborg> Or messing w your wireless card driver
[06:10] <ubuntu_> beta2 and same problem as beta1 on eeepc, install hangs at installing packages
[06:10] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  beta support in #ubuntu+1
[06:10] <slightlycyborg> What are you booting it from
[06:11] <ubuntu_> ok
[06:11] <joshy612> hi, I have lenovo desktop keyboard in which i have to hold the Fn key if i want to use F1-F12 , any idea on how to disable it ?
[06:11] <dr_willis> joshy612:  not sure its doable in software
[06:11] <syn-ack> Considering fn stands for "Function" I'd assume it's doing exactly as it's supposed to. :P
[06:12] <syn-ack> And it is doable, I just cant for the life of me remember how to do it. :/
[06:12] <joshy612> well, in that case its a serious design flaw :)
[06:12] <dr_willis> unless you were to remap all the defaults to their equilivent f  key
[06:12] <syn-ack> Nah, it's nothing quite that bad.
[06:12] <demonboy_> nope... didnt work sadly i am back in low graphics mode :/
[06:12] <dr_willis> joshy612:  had a logitech keybord ages ago with a sim iler 'features'
[06:12] <um__> slightlycyborg, have any debian6squeeze+xen experience?
[06:13] <joshy612> lenovo had this software for windows to perm switch the Fn key, cant find anything similar of ubu
[06:13] <syn-ack> right I was just about to mention that, dr_willis
[06:13] <slightlycyborg> no sir.
[06:13] <joshy612> lol :)
[06:13] <slightlycyborg> Do you
[06:13] <dr_willis> 'lets make the f key defaults be the  word shortcuts.....' argh..
[06:13] <um__> not yet
[06:14] <demonboy_> i timed out?
[06:14] <slightlycyborg> Why are you wanting to learn?
[06:14] <um__> i am
[06:14] <um__> finding the docs less than helpful :-/
[06:14] <slightlycyborg> Gotchya. If you tell me what for I will try to help
[06:15] <um__> may i pm u?
[06:15] <slightlycyborg> Sure
[06:15] <syn-ack> Man, this kernel is running so much slicker than the stock kernel. (warning that is not supported.) :P
[06:16] <slightlycyborg> :p
[06:16] <slightlycyborg> syn-ack. Do you dual boot win
[06:17] <syn-ack> slightlycyborg, I don't run windows nor anything Microsoft on any of my systems.
[06:17] <syn-ack> I don't contribute to Eugenics. Thanks anyway.
[06:19] <mrp> whats a good fs for my portable harddrive to share in between ubuntu and mac os x?
[06:19] <syn-ack> mrp Fat.
[06:20] <dr_willis> osx can rear ntfs, ext/3/4  ad fat i belive
[06:20] <dr_willis> read
[06:20] <syn-ack> ext is iffy
[06:20] <syn-ack> you need to have a 3rd party driver.
[06:20] <dr_willis> depends on how you are using the drive. and file sizes
[06:20] <syn-ack> mrp, Just use FAT
[06:21] <syn-ack> Unless it's for files more than 2 gigs, then use NTFS
[06:23] <mrp> yeah but need to sore files larger then 5gb
[06:23] <mrp> syn-ack: so ntfs best?
[06:24] <mrp> i want to be able to read and write in box
[06:24] <mrp> both
[06:25] <dr_willis> use ntfs may be easiest way
[06:28] <demonboy_> ok so now i have a new issue... i uninstalled the nvidia driver and im trying to re install it and i get an error log... im uploading to paste bins now
[06:28] <demonboy_> if some 1 can help me
[06:28] <demonboy_> heres the error log http://pastebin.ca/2134236
[06:29] <mrp> there are no other fs that is compatiable with both?
[06:29] <mrp> how does ext go on mac?
[06:29] <tanath> are there any window managers that can do what compiz can do? ie., features provided by compiz plugins
[06:31] <curiousx> demonboy_: try sudo jockey-gtk  and activate 295
[06:32] <demonboy_> how do i get 295?
[06:32] <demonboy_> what i see is driver version current doesnt have a number
[06:33] <demonboy_> and another tht says 173
[06:33] <tanath> curiousx, supposed to use gksu for graphical apps
[06:33] <curiousx> demonboy_: ye gksu allways i forgive

[06:40] <demonboy_> do u want me to paste the results to paste bins?
[06:40] <sltycyborg> If you time out of #ubuntu do you time out of p.m.s?
[06:41] <curiousx> ye
[06:41] <demonboy_> oh haha

[06:42] <curiousx> btw what is the issue what was wrong with the nvidia and after instlling the PPA what is wrong now?
[06:43] <curiousx> no, the PPA i gove you didn't work =(
[06:45] <demonboy_> i know the PPA had errors did i not tell u tht
[06:45] <sltycyborg> bump

[06:46] <curiousx> paste: sudo apt-get update
[06:46] <Guido1> Hello, I have a problem with adding a windows network printer too my linux computer. it askes for a pasword (i did not set any pasword). What have i to do to acess the printer?
[06:46] <sltycyborg> bump
[06:47] <bazhang> sltycyborg, stop that
[06:47] <tanath> Guido1, try 'guest' or 'anonymous'?
[06:47] <Guido1> as pasword or user?
[06:47] <sltycyborg> It will time me out from my pm messaging
[06:47] <sltycyborg> if i dont bump
[06:47] <bazhang> sltycyborg, this is not the place for random comments
[06:48] <tanath> Guido1, try anonymous and no password, or with anonymous as password. it's worked for me in past with odd windows networking issues
[06:48] <curiousx> demonboy_: you may want install the lastest driver downloading it from nvidia home page, the PPA didn't work for ubuntu studio =(
[06:48] <sltycyborg> Bazhang, correct me if I am wrong, but I will get timed out of my personal messing on this channel if I do not post on the main channel, correct
[06:49] <sltycyborg> so I have to bump
[06:49] <bazhang> sltycyborg, wrong
[06:49] <Administ1ator> hi all
[06:49] <Administ1ator> hi all
[06:49] <syn-ack> sltycyborg, I don't know who told you that.... IRC is IRC is IRC... What you do in pm is in no way connected to the channel.
[06:50] <Guido1> tanath: it does not work. perhaps because it is on a german version of windows :-S
[06:50] <tanath> doubt that
[06:50] <syn-ack> btw, heyas bazhang
[06:50] <bazhang> syn-ack, hi
[06:50] <Guido1> tanath: ja, it worked - translate anonymous into german :-S
[06:50] <tanath> Guido1, didn't think of that. maybe translated anon would work if 'anonymous' doesn't
[06:51] <tanath> or is that what you meant?
[06:51] <Guido1> tanath: yes, the translation worked
[06:51] <tanath> mmk
[06:53] <Guido1> tanath: yes, but now i have the next problem. It is a Brother DCP 110 and i have to instal the driver. Brother i can find but than i cant find the 110 or the newer version 115
[06:53] <curiousx> demonboy_: ?
[06:53] <curiousx> this is the link for the nvidia driver to your 8600: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/295.33/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.33.run
[06:54] <tanath> Guido1, this it? http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#DCP-110C
[06:55] <curiousx> 32 bits =P
[06:56] <Aruzsi> Hi there!
[06:57] <Aruzsi> Can I get any help installing any sound system onto Ubuntu 10.04.4 server which consists of /dev/audio?
[06:57] <Guido1> tanath: thank you. i just wanted to search for it on google, but which one do i have to chose? which format and cupswrapper driver or LPR driver
[06:57] <tanath> Guido1, you want the deb format ones
[06:58] <tanath> deb for debian-based distros, rpm for redhat-based ones
[06:58] <Guido1> tanath: okee, thank you and than i wil read the diference between the lpr driver and the cupswrapper driver
[06:59] <tanath> Guido1, likely try cups first
[07:00] <tanath> Guido1, if http://localhost:631/help loads for you, you have cups
[07:01] <Guido1> tanath: yes, i can see the page
[07:01] <tanath> Guido1, then cups deb is your answer
[07:01] <Guido1> okee, thank you. now i will read how to instal it
[07:03] <ThoughtCog> Hey. Got a question if you got a minute.
[07:03] <Guido1> tanath: okee, perhaps i should write down some basic commants
[07:04] <Atul_> Hi I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server version on a server
[07:04] <Atul_> I'm trying to get the server version
[07:04] <Atul_> UI
[07:04] <Atul_> i triedr sudo-apt get install desktop
[07:04] <Atul_> did reboor
[07:04] <Atul_> *reboot
[07:04] <Atul_> and now trying to get X11
[07:05] <auronandace> ThoughtCog: if its ubuntu related feel free to ask
[07:05] <bazhang> Atul_, the package name is ubuntu-desktop
[07:06] <tanath> Guido1, just run the two commands in the install instructions it links to, then open the .deb file you downloaded. it should open in software centre, where you can install it
[07:06] <auronandace> Atul_: server version doesn't ship with a gui
[07:07] <Guido1> Okee, i dont have rights to write in the dpkg status area
[07:07] <tanath> Guido1, paste error
[07:07] <auronandace> Atul_: if you want a gui on your server most people would use a light one
[07:07] <tanath> Guido1, if it's more than two lines, use pastebin
[07:07] <demonboy_> sorry
[07:08] <Guido1> tanath: it is dutch: dpkg: error: voor deze bewerking zijn lees- en schrijfrechten nodig in het dpkg statusgebied
[07:08] <demonboy_> the computer locked up
[07:08] <tanath> Guido1, are you using these ones? http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/before.html#002
[07:09] <tanath> Guido1, is that what's appropriate for your os? that was my guess..
[07:09] <Guido1> tanath: i have ubuntu 10.04
[07:09] <tanath> ok, then use the commands as given, like it says
[07:11] <Atul_> bazhang: sorry its ubuntu-desktop
[07:11] <Atul_> auronandace: I know the server version doesnt have a GUI but if i need one .. how do I proceed
[07:12] <auronandace> Atul_: what do you plan to do with the gui? you want the full-blown unity?
[07:13] <Atul_> auronandace : like in I'm installing an application called ushahidi
[07:13] <slipp3d_> I'm looking for some help with sending X over ssh ... can anyone point me to a good set of directions
[07:13] <Atul_> which needs a GUI
[07:13] <Guido1> tanath: What exactly do i have to enter in the comant promt?
[07:13] <tanath> Guido1, you should only get that error unless you didn't run commands with sudo (root permissions), which means you changed the commands. or maybe the filesystem is read-only, which would be bad...
[07:13] <tanath> Guido1, exactly as is given in bold and quites
[07:13] <tanath> quotes
[07:14] <auronandace> Atul_: if you need something light you might consider installing lxde
[07:14] <Atul_> auronandace: hmm ok shall google up how to use lxde
[07:14] <Guido1> tanath: the driver is in the personal map
[07:14] <tanath> Guido1, from the section i linked you to (the general ubuntu part)
[07:14] <auronandace> Atul_: what is ushahidi?
[07:14] <tanath> Guido1, hm?
[07:15] <Atul_> auronandace: if you have any link , kindly share it .. ushahidi is a crowd mapping software/platform
[07:15] <Guido1> tanath: i think there i should have rights to write
[07:15] <bazhang> Atul_, its lubuntu-desktop
[07:15] <demonboy_> curious r u still here?
[07:15] <tanath> Guido1, only with sudo
[07:15] <auronandace> Atul_: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[07:15] <tanath> Guido1, you shouldn't as just your user
[07:16] <Atul_> bazhang : now that i have installed ubuntu-desktop ... can I unistralll them and install the lubunutu-desktop
[07:16] <tanath> Guido1, IOW, copy & paste. don't modify it (keep sudo)
[07:16] <Atul_> bazhang: since my server is occupied with many packages
[07:16] <bazhang> !purelxde | Atul_ read this
[07:16] <Guido1> tanath: so i have to enter "sudo aa-complain cupsd" and than "sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model"
[07:16] <tanath> Guido1, yup
[07:17] <Guido1> and than "ln -s /etc/init.d/cupsys /etc/init.d/lpd"
[07:17] <tanath> Guido1, that's not there
[07:17] <tanath> Guido1, you're using (2)
[07:18] <Guido1> tanath: that comes a bit furteher benice. what else do i have to enter?
[07:18] <tanath> after those who, install the driver
[07:18] <tanath> *two
[07:18] <jors> Finally got Ubuntu up and running on my ancient spare PC.  Chose the default install on a Ext4 partition asd all went well.  However, unlike my laptop with it's faster HDD, the PCs' drive chugs away almost all the time, with the CPU spiking when it does making the system unusable.  Now the question:  Should I have chosen a DIFFERENT filesystem to run on?  Will any of the others listed in the installer make ANY difference?  Maybe someone with first-hand
[07:18] <jors> experience on this can help me out.
[07:19] <Guido1> tanath: so what is written under 4 on http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html#dpkg1
[07:19] <tanath> Guido1, just double-click the deb file you downloaded, then click install
[07:20] <tanath> Guido1, they should have made it easier for you. it's a bit silly. you shouldn't have had to do anything in terminal, but at least installing the package is simple
[07:21] <Guido1> tanath: oh, no terminal. normaly you have to use ther terminal to instal something ... :-D
[07:21] <tanath> Guido1, not normally, no :P
[07:21] <Jordan_U> jors: No. Changing filesystems will not generally change most workloads noticeably.
[07:21] <Guido1> tanath: error: csh is required
[07:22] <tanath> Guido1, you _can_ use terminal for pretty much anything, and it's often better for one reason or another... if you know how to do a few things..
[07:22] <tanath> but usually not necessary
[07:22] <Guido1> tanath: during the instalation i got this message "error: csh is required"
[07:23] <tanath> Guido1, ok, odd. but this will fix it: 'sudo apt-get install csh'
[07:23] <jors> Jordan_U:  I see.  What are my options then?.  Like I said, the drive is OK, but just very slow (old).
[07:23] <tanath> Guido1, then install again
[07:24] <tanath> Guido1, though if it gave you an error instead of installing it, then trying to install csh will likely given you an error. but at least then you'll know what the problem is
[07:24] <curiousx> cya all
[07:24] <Keule> hi all
[07:24] <Keule> any german support ?
[07:25] <Jordan_U> !de | Keule
[07:25] <Guido1> tanath: stil the error
[07:25] <Keule> ty
[07:25] <Jordan_U> jors: I would run "iotop" to see what processes are trying to use the HD the most and see if you can do something to change that.
[07:25] <tanath> Guido1, after installing csh?
[07:25] <ga_sk8er> im having installation issue. i just installed ubuntu version 11 & during installation, it went to a solid black screen. im not even seeing mouse cursor.
[07:26] <tanath> Guido1, i suspect the error is that it needs a specific version then. look for <= or >= version...
[07:26] <Guido1> yes and the instalation of csu seams to be suceded
[07:26] <auronandace> !nomodeset | ga_sk8er
[07:27] <Guido1> tanath: udo (6.4.1-1)
[07:27] <Guido1> tanath: i got instaled
[07:27] <jors> Jordan_U:  Ok.  Mmm... I suspect Unity3D (good as it is) is simply too demanding for themachine.  Maybe I should try a lighter distro then.
[07:27] <tanath> Guido1, used the --force-all ?
[07:27] <ga_sk8er> ok thanks
[07:28] <ga_sk8er> i'll try that
[07:28] <Guido1> i used "sudo apt-get install udo"
[07:28] <tanath> jors, Jordan_U, or just lighter desktop environment
[07:28] <tanath> try xfce
[07:28] <Guido1> tanath: i used "sudo apt-get install udo"
[07:28] <Sevith> i <3 xfce
[07:28] <ga_sk8er> would i have to reboot & reinstall again to do that though?
[07:28] <tanath> Sevith, nearly perfect :P
[07:29] <tanath> Guido1, udo?
[07:29] <auronandace> ga_sk8er: not reinstall no
[07:29] <Jordan_U> jors: I doubt that Unity3D is what is trying to use the hard drive, though it may be too heavy for other reasons.
[07:29] <giemuyano> hi
[07:29] <ga_sk8er> oh good
[07:29] <Jordan_U> !lubuntu | jors
[07:29] <jors> tanath: well, I've got Lubuntu & Xubuntu dics laying about.  Think I'll try 'em both.  Thanks for the help everyone.  Appreciated.
[07:29] <auronandace> ga_sk8er: it is a boot parameter you change in grub
[07:30] <tanath> jors, before you reinstall anything..
[07:30] <tanath> jors, you can install the desktop environments you'd be using in the others to same effect to see if it helps
[07:30] <tanath> jors, you simply choose which environment at login
[07:31] <jors> tanath:  you mean via sudo apt-get install?
[07:31] <tanath> jors, that works
[07:31] <tanath> jors, or synaptic, or software center
[07:31] <Guido1> tanath: yes. i see something. i wanted to do udo apt-get install csh, but got the answer that i have to do "sudo apt-get install udo"
[07:32] <jors> tanath:  Thanks for the help.
[07:32] <tanath> Guido1, what is 'udo'?
[07:32] <tanath> jors, np
[07:32] <auronandace> !info udo
[07:32] <ga_sk8er> after i restarted the system it shows me the screen now
[07:33] <ga_sk8er> didnt have to change anything
[07:33] <tanath> Guido1, i'm not sure 'udo' is relevant here or why you're installing it
[07:33] <auronandace> ga_sk8er: oh, well thats good :)
[07:33] <Guido1> tanath: ah, het eerste "s" misst :S
[07:34] <Guido1> tanath: ah, the first "s" (from sudo) was missing :-S
[07:34] <ga_sk8er> yeah
[07:34] <tanath> Guido1, ok
[07:34] <ga_sk8er> i really didnt understnd how to do it
[07:34] <tanath> Guido1, i would have guessed that, but you kept repeating it
[07:35] <HoodedPianist> What is he trying to (un)install?
[07:35] <programmer099> Hello
[07:35] <Guido1> tanath: how can i uninstal udo? i had copied it ...
[07:35] <programmer099> I would like to ask a question
[07:35] <tanath> Guido1, sudo apt-get remove udo
[07:35] <giemuyano> hello programmer099
[07:35] <programmer099> I'm on mac
[07:35] <__Alex_> !ask | programmer099
[07:36] <programmer099> ok
[07:36] <ga_sk8er> this version of ubuntu didnt ask me to make a root password. i guess my user password will be the root password whenever i go to do terminal stuff
[07:36] <rymate1234> meh
[07:36] <Jordan_U> !sudo | ga_sk8er
[07:36]  * rymate1234 removes additional drivers
[07:36] <programmer099> I'm on mac  and I used unebootin to install ubuntu
[07:36] <programmer099> onto my usb drive
[07:36] <tanath> ga_sk8er, iirc, root is disabled in ubuntu. you just use sudo
[07:37] <programmer099> it now does not work
[07:37] <rymate1234> or sudo bash
[07:37] <__Alex_> ga_sk8er: Ubuntu has the Root password blank by default. It can be enabled though.
[07:37] <ga_sk8er> ok i dont need to enable it. im only person who gets on this pc
[07:37] <HoodedPianist> Guys, I just had a quick question, are there any Ubuntu .iso's that I can install on my computer that has 512MB of RAM? It doesn't go well with Puppy or Windows, and Ubuntu runs smoothly on my laptop, so...
[07:37] <HoodedPianist> Any help appreciated!
[07:38] <Jordan_U> programmer099: Unetbootin only creates USB drives which are bootable on BIOS based machines, and Apple's BIOS implementation doesn't support booting from USB. It's highly recommended that you burn a CD (from the +mac iso file).
[07:38] <auronandace> !lubuntu | HoodedPianist
[07:38] <__Alex_> HoodedPianist: I think the alternative installer
[07:38] <HoodedPianist> Alright, thanks.
[07:38] <programmer099> I'm on mac  and I used unebootin to install ubuntu onto my usb drive, It does not work, all the bios settings are fine (i'm trying to boot it on a PC)
[07:38] <Guido1> tanath: i have got the next error "brother LPD filter is not installed"
[07:39] <programmer099> it's a maxell 4gig
[07:39] <ga_sk8er> the mac version probably wont boot on a pc
[07:39] <Jordan_U> programmer099: Have you been able to boot from USB on this machine before?
[07:39] <akhil_> hey!! I have a problem with ubuntu 11.04
[07:39] <programmer099> yes
[07:39] <__Alex_> programmer099: That's because Macs don't have PC Bois (they have a thing called OpenFirmware iirc)
[07:39] <programmer099> Alex
[07:39] <__Alex_> *bios
[07:39] <ga_sk8er> get the pc version if u want to boot on a pc
[07:39] <programmer099> I'm booting onto a mac
[07:39] <programmer099> I mean PC
[07:40] <programmer099> ok
[07:40] <akhil_> my ubuntu 11.04 freezes while working without any reason.Can anybody help?
[07:40] <Jordan_U> __Alex_: Intel macs use EFI, it was the PowerPC macs which used OpenFirmware.
[07:40] <wiherek> Hi. I have a VPN: 4GHz, 4GB RAM. I will use it for Drupal sites, based on NGINX and Varnish. Now I need to choose OS. I get to choose from Debian 6 minimal 32 / 64 bit, Ubuntu 10.10 32 / 64 bit or Ubuntu 11.04 32 or 64 bit. Which one should I choose (and why?)
[07:41] <Guido1> tanath: during the iinstalation of the deb file i got the next error "brother LPD filter is not installed"
[07:41] <marvindoppelt> Good people, I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Vostro with native windows 7.  The problem is that am able to only load Ubuntu but Windows 7 which hangs up at the point of "windows starting...".  Any ideas are appreciated!
[07:41] <akhil_> my ubuntu 11.04 freezes while working without any reason.Can anybody help?
[07:41] <auronandace> wiherek: 10.10 is end of life next month
[07:41] <tanath> Guido1, install the other deb too: brother LPD filter is not installed
[07:41] <HoodedPianist> Just to be clear, just like Ubuntu, Lubuntu comes with g++, right?
[07:41] <tanath> Guido1, oops, wrong paste
[07:42] <tanath> Guido1, http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/dcp110clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb&lang=English_lpr
[07:42] <auronandace> HoodedPianist: yes, lubuntu just has lxde as the default desktop
[07:42] <willis> Hey guys sorry to interrupt. But what will be a solution if i cant even ftp to my localhost
[07:42] <HoodedPianist> Ok.
[07:42] <Jordan_U> HoodedPianist: All of the official Ubuntu variants use the same repositories, so anything you can install in one can be installed on the other.
[07:42] <auronandace> HoodedPianist: you can install anything from the repos like normal
[07:42] <HoodedPianist> Sweet, thanks!
[07:42] <oooaaaooo> whats the chat room with details on 11.04 LTS?
[07:42] <akhil_> Can any body help?
[07:43] <akhil_> my ubuntu 11.04 freezes while working without any reason.Can anybody help?
[07:43] <HoodedPianist> That's specific. We need details.
[07:43] <willis> Can anybody help, my VSFTPD doesnt even allow localhost to connect. Any reason for this?
[07:43] <tanath> nothing happens without a reason :P
[07:43] <tanath> willis, firewall?
[07:43] <Jordan_U> oooaaaooo: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 LTS
[07:43] <llutz> willis: check logs, check config, give more detailed error to get help
[07:43] <marvindoppelt> akhil_, do you have enough resources, say memory, harddisk space and so...?
[07:44] <willis> ubuntu doesnt come with ufw installed
[07:44] <triscuit> yes it does
[07:44] <willis> my iptables are empty
[07:44] <auronandace> !info ufw | willis
[07:44] <willis> mine doesnt anyway, ufw = unknown command
my memory space is 320 gb
[07:44] <tanath> williammanda, make sure you're poking the right port?
[07:45] <ga_sk8er> poking...is it facebook or ubuntu lol
and my ram is 4 gb
[07:45] <Guido1> tanath: okee, but now i get an error during this instalation - can't create /var/spool/lpd.dcp110C - folder does not exist
[07:45] <willis> VSFTPD config is default, with anonym allowed and write allowed
[07:46] <tanath> Guido1, this may be helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590793
[07:46] <willis> What do u mean poking the right port?
[07:46] <marvindoppelt> akhil, graphics?
i have intel accelerator i.e built in graphics card
[07:46] <llutz> willis: "sudo lsof -i :21"
[07:47] <tanath> willis, verify what port it's listening on (netstat -ap), and make sure you're trying to connect on the right port
[07:47] <tanath> willis, look over the config. sometimes things don't work until you do
one more thing,i am using ubuntu in dual boot,and i have given 20 gb to ubuntu's partition
[07:48] <willis> Config is default config
[07:48] <willis> just allowed local users to log in
[07:48] <willis> and allowed anony users
[07:48] <willis> Now i cant find ftp in netstat -ap
[07:48] <marvindoppelt> akhil, exactly 20 Gb is not enough for today's linux systems, how much swap space have you allocated?
[07:48] <llutz> !enter | willis
[07:49] <tanath> willis, verify the service is started
[07:49] <auronandace> marvindoppelt: 20gb is plenty
[07:49] <willis> im Sorry
[07:49] <llutz> willis: "sudo lsof -i :21"
 none since i have a 3 gb ram so i thought i didn't require swap
[07:49] <willis> Ok
[07:50] <Guido1> tanath: do i have downloaded al the drivers mentioned in step 4?
[07:50] <tanath> willis, sudo service vsftpd status
[07:50] <marvindoppelt> auronandace, I beg to disagree, have had the same experience.
[07:50] <marvindoppelt> akhil_, swap space is always recommended
[07:50] <auronandace> marvindoppelt: i suppose you don't use seperate /home or storage partitions
[07:50] <willis> Yes i did that. It's returning me stop/waiting even if i typed service vsftpd start
[07:51] <llutz> willis: check logs, check config
[07:51] <tanath> Guido1, there should be two, yes? grab both
[07:51] <willis> ok /var/message/logs shows no error
ok so is it hanging because of this
[07:51] <tanath> williammanda, dmesg|tail
[07:51] <llutz> willis: grep -ri vsftp /var/log/*
is it hanging because of this
[07:52] <marvindoppelt> akhil_, most probably
[07:52] <auronandace> akhil_: swap space is only really needed if you hibernate
so what should i do now?
[07:52] <serban> do i need to enable somthing in order for ~/.ssh/config to work? I added Host blah Hostname blah.blah.com User blahissimi
[07:53] <marvindoppelt> auronandace, that's what a friend of mine used to do.
[07:53] <llutz> serban: no, it should just work
[07:53] <lalalelelulu> hELLO
[07:53] <lalalelelulu> meee help
[07:53] <DropsOfSerenity> i add username ALL = (ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL to /etc/sudoers but i still don't have passwordless sudo, why not?
[07:53] <serban> thats what I thought as well:)
[07:53] <marvindoppelt> akhil_, you could use Gparted
so why is my ubuntu 11.04 hanging while working
i am using it

[07:57] <lalalelelulu> Nfisher: why do you say bad words about me???
[07:57] <lalalelelulu> bazhang: why can he say bad words about me
[07:57] <NFisher> lalalelelulu, cause youre spazing around.
[07:58] <bazhang> lalalelelulu, do you have an ubuntu support question?

[07:58] <lalalelelulu> i have
[07:58] <NFisher> bazhang, well..
[07:58] <bazhang> lalalelelulu, then ask it, all on ONE line
[07:58] <auronandace> akhil_: when you say hang do you mean it freezes and you can't do anything (the screen is just stuck) or does the computer restart?
[07:58] <lalalelelulu> okkk
[07:58] <lalalelelulu> i ask
[07:58] <bazhang> lalalelelulu, ONE line
[07:58] <Guido1> tanath: okee, now i' trying step 8, but i get the error that it can't create the map
[07:59] <lalalelelulu> ok i want to install ubuntu on my pc
[07:59] <Guido1> tanath: oh, because it already exists :-D
[07:59] <marvindoppelt> akhil_, you just create a partition called swap
[07:59] <bazhang> !install | lalalelelulu read this first
[07:59] <lalalelelulu> yes but me question have
the computer freezes and i can't do anything not even use tty1,tty2 etc and also not even alt+ctrl+backspace.

[08:00] <lalalelelulu> okay
[08:00] <lalalelelulu> omg this is very much
then after making it what should i do?
[08:00] <monser> hello all

[08:03] <bazhang> lalalelelulu, read that manual, it's much easier
[08:03] <auronandace> akhil_: hmm, can you try: lspci (then copy what you get to a pastebin and provide the link)
[08:03] <gask8er> yup :)
[08:03] <Guido1> i got it, thank you :-)
[08:03] <tanath> :)
[08:04] <giemuyano> wow
[08:04] <lalalelelulu> i have question???
[08:04] <bazhang> lalalelelulu, then ask it
copy into a pastebin means?
[08:05] <auronandace> !paste | akhil_
[08:05] <Guido1> tanath: can i use the same instruction with ubuntu 11.04?
[08:05] <tanath> Guido1, likely
[08:05] <Guido1> thats great :-)
[08:06] <tanath> Guido1, most of all the shenannigans is becaues brother didn't do a great job on their drivers packages, and because they're out of date
 link-  http://paste.ubuntu.com/908395/
[08:07] <lalalelelulu> bazhang shouldnt i say something about me???
[08:07] <aashrith067> yes
[08:08] <bazhang> lalalelelulu, this is ubuntu support. what is your ubuntu support question
[08:08] <auronandace> akhil_: ok, so you got an intel graphics card
yup
[08:09] <tanath> is there a window manager that can replace compiz w/plugin features?
[08:10] <auronandace> akhil_: i've had these kind of freezes but mine was when i was using flash (with nvidia drivers), never did find out if flash or nvidia was at fault (always assumed it was flash)
[08:10] <willis> Hey guys, this is my vsftpd.conf (http://pastebin.com/U8fmCsWh) Seems like there is no problem with it, yet my VSFTPD is unable to start
so what do you suggest,what should i do now?
[08:10] <tanath> particularly: negative, put, scale, scale addons, screenshot
[08:10] <tanath> oh, and zoom
[08:11] <auronandace> akhil_: sorry, i'm not sure, i try to stay away from flash as much as possible
[08:11] <auronandace> akhil_: i could be wrong and your problem might be completely unrelated
[08:11] <willis> My VSFTPD status is still stop/waiting, i cant get it to start
[08:11] <auronandace> akhil_: are you using compiz? or unity?
[08:11] <nixit> 123
unity
[08:12] <nixit> Hi
no compiz
[08:12] <gask8er> ok that was odd. i trid doing Alt 7 tab to switch from firefox back to xchat & i had to reboot cause the system froze
[08:12] <auronandace> akhil_: so is that unity2d?
[08:12] <gask8er> *&
[08:12] <lalalelelulu> shit...why am i get not help
[08:12] <nixit> And bye.
 i really don't know the difference but according to my knowledge it is
[08:13] <willis> Hey guys, my VSFTPD is stuck in stop/waiting. Any help?
[08:13] <gask8er> in ubunto doesnt alt & tab switch programs liek it does in windows?
[08:13] <waverider> hello
[08:13] <auronandace> akhil_: hmm, ok, i was going to suggest to try unity2d to see if it was compiz that was causing the freezes
[08:14] <curiousx> gask8er: ye it does
[08:14] <gask8er> then im wondering why doing that made my system freeze up a minute ago
[08:14] <auronandace> akhil_: default unity uses compiz as the window manager but unity2d doesn't, so that would rule out compiz if it still crashes in unity2d
[08:15] <tanath> willis, this might be helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518293
I used compiz, then the whole ubuntu unity gets distorted and never reverses back,so i stay away from it
[08:15] <waverider> any tutorial to install ubuntu 12.04 beta on xen?
[08:16] <auronandace> akhil_: good, i find compiz rather buggy too, i stick to xfce
[08:16] <curiousx> gask8er: maybe some compiz issue but you can chose another effect for switching windows in "compiz-config-settings-manager"
[08:16] <tanath> auronandace, (uses xfce with compiz....)
btw how do you use unity 2d just to check?
[08:17] <auronandace> akhil_: sorry, i'm running out of ideas as to what could be causing the freezes
[08:17] <tanath> auronandace, find me something that can replace compiz and i'll switch :P
[08:17] <auronandace> tanath: always been rather buggy for me, good old xfwm4 work fine
[08:17] <Sevith> tanath, I agree completely I run te same setup lol...
[08:17] <auronandace> akhil_: pick it from the login screen
[08:17] <tanath> auronandace, yes, it's been buggy, but i find nothing that's a suitable replacement. nothing else covers the features i use, to my knowledge
[08:17] <tanath> Seveas, :)
[08:18] <tanath> ^ Sevith
[08:18] <llutz> willis:again: have you checked config   for typos etc?
it does not show unity 2d,is it gnome classic
[08:18] <auronandace> akhil_: ah, you are using 11.04?
yup
[08:18] <gask8er> curiousx it works now. it was just a small glitch in the system i guess
[08:18] <tanath> auronandace, when xfwm can cover the features from the compiz plugins i use, i'll be happy
[08:19] <auronandace> akhil_: gnome classic is gnome2, that uses metacity instead of compiz
[08:19] <willis> @llutz Yes i just did, there is not typos at all
[08:19] <llutz> willis: pastebin it please
[08:19] <goddard> how do i install opengl?
[08:19] <tanath> auronandace, negative, put, scale, scale adons, screenshot, enhanced zoom
[08:19] <curiousx> ok
[08:19] <willis> @llutz http://pastebin.com/U8fmCsWh
[08:20] <auronandace> tanath: haha, those are the features i used and liked too, but i can live without them
[08:20] <tanath> auronandace, the rest i can do without, but i'd rather put up with buggy compiz than do without
[08:20] <willis> The problem doesnt seem to be with firewall, as VSFTPD is stuck in stop/waiting
ok i have to go for lunch,will come after sometime,thanks for your time,will be back soon.
[08:20] <auronandace> akhil_: see ya
till then just think about it if something strikes you ,bye :)
[08:20] <tanath> auronandace, i can handle reloading once in a while with fusion-icon or 'compiz --replace' :P
[08:21] <tanath> auronandace, how? how can you do without? :P
[08:21] <JelloPop> Hello why do we not use make clean in tar.gz file other then it deletes makefile for removal??
[08:22] <willis> What is the logfile for vsftpd?
[08:22] <auronandace> tanath: i don't depend on those features, they are nice to have but are extra in my mind
[08:23] <tanath> auronandace, i feel crippled without them
[08:23] <tanath> auronandace, also, some others don't give little things like alt+f10 to toggle maximize
[08:23] <tanath> things i use all the time
[08:23] <JelloPop> nevermind depends on package build :) binaries rrrrrrrrrrrrr....
[08:24] <willis> Anyone can help, my VSFTPD is stuck in stop/waiting
[08:24] <Sevith> check logs?
[08:25] <subthalamus> willis: whatchu talkin bout willis?!?
[08:25] <subthalamus> willis: /var/log/vsftpd.log
[08:25] <willis> subthalamus: Doesnt exist
[08:25] <subthalamus> my life is stuck in stop/waiting
[08:26] <subthalamus> willis: new install?
[08:26] <JelloPop> willis: run locate vsftpd.log
[08:26] <willis> subthalamus: Yes installed, reinstalled twice
[08:28] <JelloPop> willis: tar.gz or .deb file?
[08:28] <subthalamus> willis: does /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf exist?!?
[08:28] <willis> subthalamus: Yes it exist
 I installed it via apt-get
[08:29] <willis> subthalamus:  /etc/vsftpd.conf exist,     this directory doesnt exist /etc/vsftpd/
[08:30] <subthalamus> willis: thats normal
[08:30] <willis> subthalamus: Ok thats good. But that brings me back to square 1
[08:31] <subthalamus> willis: when u reinstalled, did u purge?
[08:31] <hooshmand> Hi everybody
[08:31] <subthalamus> willis: have u changed anything in conf?
[08:31] <willis> subthalamus: apt-get remove vsftpd
[08:31] <willis> subthalamus: Yes i changed, my config as such http://pastebin.com/U8fmCsWh
[08:32] <subthalamus> did it start fine before u made the config changes?
[08:32] <willis> subthalamus: I did not start it before editing the config
[08:33] <willis> if i install another ftp server, will it conflict? Im thinking of ditching vsftpd
[08:33] <tanath> willis, this might be helpful. did you try this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518293
[08:33] <subthalamus> willis: I wouldn't give up on vsftpd so quick
[08:34] <subthalamus> willis: it won't conflict if you uninstall it first
[08:34] <tanath> or you could change port
[08:34] <subthalamus> that too
[08:34] <gask8er> whats a program i can use to check & see if my webcam works?
[08:34] <willis> subthalamus: Ok, i know i have worked with vsftpd... just this time its not working
[08:34] <subthalamus> willis: first guess is something is wrong with config
[08:34] <tanath> gask8er, cheese?
[08:35] <subthalamus> surprised vsftpd doesnt tell u what is wrong though
[08:35] <willis> subthalamus: Yes, so in order to get a better view of the config file i installed gnome and vncserver. However im unable to connect via vncserver as well
[08:35] <gask8er> ty tanath
[08:37] <subthalamus> vsftpd seems to be horribly un-verbose
[08:37] <willis> subthalamus: I dunno why this time it so hard to get it to work
[08:38] <gask8er> i dont think the system is noticing my cam
[08:38] <willis> Where is the VSFTPD logfile
[08:38] <subthalamus> if the daemon cant start, it might never get to creating the log file
[08:39] <willis> subthalamus: apt-get remove vsftpd, will it remove vsftpd completely?
[08:39] <subthalamus> I'm not finding a way to debug the daemon either
[08:39] <subthalamus> some ssl and ftp debugging options
[08:39] <subthalamus> but...
[08:39] <subthalamus> apt-get remove --purge
[08:40] <wtf911> fuck
[08:40] <wtf911> you
[08:40] <wtf911> niggers
[08:40] <willis> apt-get install vsftpd     is sufficient?
[08:41] <willis> if i delete the vsftpd.conf file, will the install create a new one?
[08:41] <JelloPop> willis: Is you have port 20 turn On...Have u tried it without referring to port 20?
[08:41] <subthalamus> willis: sure
[08:41] <willis> ok
[08:41] <JelloPop> willis: backup the file yes! to home directory
[08:41] <willis> JelloPop: It was part of the default config. Ill try removing that. Ok i will do the backup
[08:42] <JelloPop> willis: may have error in the code
[08:42] <hooshmand> I installed ubuntu 11.04 and win7 on my pc. I want to install backtrack too. could I install these three os in same PC?
[08:42] <gask8er> my cam isnt showing anything when i run cheese. how do i go about installing the driver for my cam
[08:42] <JelloPop> willis: did you try and run with fowarding to port 20??
[08:43] <willis> Ok reinstalled vsftpd, VSFTPD is currently running on default config
[08:43] <willis> JelloPop: My iptables are empty
[08:44] <atul_> bazhang: I i tried lxde for the ui on my ubuntu server, i installed it and rebooted the server but now i get this http://fpaste.org/DoGH/
[08:44] <JelloPop> JelloPop: good luck try just a plainin connection... without script!
[08:45] <gask8er> my cam isnt showing anything when i run cheese. how do i go about installing the driver for my cam
[08:45] <willis> subthalamus: Genius, I guess your --purge command fixed some things. I am now connected via ftp
[08:45] <willis> JelloPop: Thanks for the help
[08:46] <atul_> hi anyone, i am trying to use lxde after installing on ubuntu 10.4 server and get this error http://fpaste.org/DoGH/
[08:46] <subthalamus> willis: purge just tells apt-get to not save config files
[08:46] <JelloPop> JelloPop: configuration is the problem.. Are u running a firewall and did u open port 20!
[08:46] <subthalamus> willis: so that kind of confirms that there was a problem with one of the config files
[08:46] <subthalamus> willis: glad we could help
[08:46] <willis> subthalamus: Yeah i guess... Thanks alot to both of u
[08:47] <Kaco> morning

[08:47] <JelloPop> subthalamus: that wall all u :)
[08:47] <tegra> hi
[08:47] <JelloPop> subthalamus: that was all u :)
[08:47] <hadrianus> what is mirc?
[08:48] <hadrianus> ?
[08:48] <JelloPop> hadrianus: Microsoft irc chat.... program like irssi, bitchx and chatzilla
[08:48] <subthalamus> JelloPop: u helped too but enough with the lovefest :P
[08:48] <hadrianus> ?
[08:49] <JelloPop> lol
[08:49] <hadrianus> ??
[08:49] <JelloPop> hadrianus: we use linux not microsofts crappy mirc chat relay
[08:50] <gask8er> can someone help me install the driver for my webcam
[08:50] <hadrianus> ok
[08:50] <Myrtti> JelloPop: mIRC isn't microsofts
[08:50] <hadrianus> thanks
[08:50] <hadrianus> how can i learn linux?
[08:50] <subthalamus> atul_: u sure it isnt already running?
[08:50] <JelloPop> Myrtti: might as well be that shit box WIndows .... :)
[08:50] <subthalamus> hadrianus: slowly and painfully?
[08:51] <hadrianus> ?
[08:51] <Myrtti> JelloPop: mind your language here. Let's keep it family friendly and professional.
[08:51] <Myrtti> !linux | hadrianus
[08:51] <Myrtti> !ubuntu | hadrianus
[08:51] <atul_> subthalamus: i just installed lxde now, but before that i apt-getted ubuntu-desktop... and got the same message.. i am very new to this, please help
[08:52] <JelloPop> Myrtti: srry... Just not a fan of Microsoft :(
[08:52] <dr_willis> i find linux easier to 'learn' than windows. ;)
[08:52] <subthalamus> atul_: urm, well, is ~/.Xauthority writable?
[08:53] <atul_> subthalamus: how do i check that?
[08:53] <subthalamus> ls ~/.Xauthority
[08:53] <gnu-dio> I believe that the main impediment to people learning linux is that they already learned "bad" thinking from windows.
[08:53] <dr_willis> i recall a few other postings about .xauthority getting messed up. seen some guides on it at the askubuntu.com site also
[08:53] <Xabster> gnu-dio, and that linux is harder, for sure?
[08:54] <hadrianus> can I use windows 7 and Linux at the same time?
[08:54] <subthalamus> mine is -rw--------------
[08:54] <Xabster> what do you mean with same time, hadrianus ?
[08:54] <atul_> subthalamus: gave me this /home/sadmin/.Xauthority
[08:54] <dr_willis> learning 'linux' and learning the various desktops . are  2 diferent things
[08:54] <Myrtti> hadrianus: on the same machine you can have both at the same time. You can't use both at the same time, until one of them is in a virtual machine inside the other.
[08:54] <JelloPop> hadrianus: yes dual boot / even try it on a live cd or usb stick... its free
[08:55] <melvincv> Hi guys. Wen I paste a long number in LibreOffice Calc, it is messed up with zeroes: ''14855336181333148681459'' becomes ''14855336181333100000000'' How can I get the whole number?
[08:55] <vlt> Google browser, Y U crash on Google Mail?!?
[08:55] <hadrianus> and how i can do it?
[08:55] <Myrtti> hadrianus: do what
[08:56] <JelloPop> hadrianus: Which way do u want to go? Livecd/usb or Virtualbox?
[08:56] <hadrianus> virtualbox
[08:56] <gnu-dio> hadrianus: Depends on what you mean. If you mean dual boot, both installed but only one at a time, that's the most common situation. If you mean both literally at the same time, then you can't, unless you install a "virtual machine" (say vbox) and install the second OS inside the virtual machine.
[08:56] <hadrianus> i'd try
[08:56] <gnu-dio> !virtualbox
[08:56] <dr_willis> !vbox
[08:57] <hadrianus> thanks
[08:58] <JelloPop> hadrianus: good luck got a lot of reading and learning ahead :)
[08:58] <hadrianus> ok
[08:58] <subthalamus> atul_: does this file exist and have a line "allowed users"?
[08:58] <subthalamus> /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
[08:59] <subthalamus> atul_: try change it from "console" to "anybody"
[08:59] <subthalamus> atul_: oh, or just run this instead dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
[09:00] <subthalamus> hadrianus: if you just want a taste, perhaps try wubi?
[09:00] <atul_> subthalamus: just now i changed it to anybody from console....do i run startx or do i try the new dpkg comman you gave?
[09:01] <melvincv> When I paste a long number in LibreOffice Calc, it is messed up with zeroes: ''14855336181333148681459'' becomes ''14855336181333100000000'' How can I get the whole number?
[09:01] <subthalamus> atul_: the last command accomplishes the same thing but with ncurses gui
[09:01] <subthalamus> atul_: (so skip it)
[09:01] <atul_> subthalamus: so i run startx now?
[09:01] <subthalamus> atul_: first you cross your fingers
[09:02] <subthalamus> :P
[09:03] <subthalamus> atul_: well? did it break somewhere else or r u good?
[09:03] <atul_> subthalamus: now i get this http://fpaste.org/gvv4/
[09:03] <subthalamus> melvincv: not really the place for office questions
[09:04] <karl-augustt> please help, how can I restore an information , i delete permanently recently
[09:04] <subthalamus> atul_: that means xorg is already running on another terminal
[09:04] <melvincv> ubuntu includes it, right?
[09:04] <subthalamus> atul_: try cycling through them
[09:05] <dr_willis> hi gnu-dio
[09:05] <JelloPop> melvincv: got number to caculate for that many places whole number or dfecimal place?
[09:05] <subthalamus> atul_: ALT-F1, ALT-F2...
[09:05] <karl-augustt> is there a tool  which I can use for this problem?
[09:05] <subthalamus> atul_: ALT-F7 or 8 are most likely?
[09:05] <dr_willis> karl-augustt:  clarify the problem
[09:05] <melvincv> JelloPop, nodecimal places. It's one large number.
[09:06] <karl-augustt> dr_willis, I 've just deleted permanently an information on my ubuntu, but I need to restore I urgently
[09:07] <dr_willis> 'an information' makes no sence
[09:07] <dlentz> !info scalpel
[09:07] <JelloPop> melvincv: imagine it in rational math or algerberic expression were caculation is wrongly formatted
[09:07] <dlentz> karl-augustt, google ubuntu scalpel
[09:08] <gask8er> i found how to fix my problem but idk how to install it
[09:08] <ScG^Dedicated> is this the right place for support? (using 12.04)
[09:08] <karl-augustt> dr_willis, I mean some files
[09:08] <gask8er> i found onlnie that i need to install libcheese-gtk-dev

[09:09] <tete_> would someone here help me configuring an email server (postfix) which should handle smtps? i can't get it working, i always get authentification failure and such stuff... http://ideone.com/UQFcW this is my postfix main.cf
[09:09] <JelloPop> melvincv: 22 places does app allow for this much caculation? simple caculater wouldnt go that far
[09:09] <dlentz> i've been using apt for at least 5 years, and i still make that mistake at times :)
[09:09] <gask8er> ty its installing now
[09:09] <karl-augustt> dlentz, explajn me more your proposition
[09:09] <tete_> at the moment i only get "SASL plain authentication failed:" - nothing else in the syslog :(
[09:10] <dlentz> karl-augustt, http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/357/recover-your-deleted-files-in-ubuntu
[09:10] <melvincv> JelloPop, I think you're right.
[09:10] <acidflash> flush-252 is always going into D state, and blocking for more than 120 seconds, which is SUPER annoying
[09:10] <acidflash> what can I do to solve, already googled for 6 days
[09:11] <acidflash> i have a raid card, no particular raid, an LVM, 30 TB HDD with GPT partitions (3TB/HDD)
[09:11] <acidflash> it happens most of the time during rysnc
[09:11] <acidflash> rsync*
[09:12] <JelloPop> melvincv: dont use office suite for complex math buy graphics caculater hope this not someones bill 8)
[09:13] <melvincv> JelloPop, no, it's not math. I just need the number to display in a cell.
[09:13] <dr_willis> ooocalc may have to use a special type for that cell.
[09:14] <JelloPop> melvincv: hold on let me google fu this :)
[09:14] <dr_willis> try pasteig it as a string perhaps.
[09:14] <jiltdil> I am buying a dos compatable  laptop. Is linux runs on it better?
[09:15] <dr_willis> jiltdil:  dos compatable? who uses that term anymore?
[09:15] <Kaco> morning
[09:15] <JohnTeddy> Sometimes (1/100 flash videos) in chrome, the audio stops working. The only way I know of to get the audio for flash/youtube to start working again is to restart chrome. If I just close the tab, that doesn't work. If I play mplayer in a separate terminal, that plays sound find. Is it possible, and how can I get audio to start working on chrome again without restarting it?
[09:15] <jiltdil> dr_willis, Dell
[09:15] <tegra> anyone participate earth hour 2012 ?
[09:15] <JohnTeddy> I speculate, as per usual.. flash is garbage and is doing something ridiculous. Perhaps the GiGo is messaged and it chokes on itself, I don't know.
[09:16] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  i asked the dell agent and he tells the vostro has dos compatability
[09:16] <dr_willis> marketing buzzwords
[09:17] <dr_willis> whats the actual hardware
[09:17] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  means configuration ?
[09:18] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  its dell vostro 3450  series laptop
[09:18] <dr_willis> and its cpu is.. and its gpu is...

[09:20] <jiltdil> dr_willis, intel  and  radon amd graphics
[09:21] <nick1st> I need reverse ssh command execution. How can I connect to a remote computer and make a *local* application start on the remote computer's x11 server? I mean without any intervention on the remote computer.
[09:21] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  please see this www.dell.com/in/business/p/vostro-3450/fs
[09:21] <dr_willis> id reccomd finding an nvidia based video.  because ihate ati
[09:22] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  I also but in vostro series they are not providing nvidia. I  customized my laptop without any pre installed operating system
[09:23] <anthropos> the ati graphics drivers are much worse than nvidia's for linux
[09:23] <anthropos> that is no lie
[09:23] <dr_willis> id not get a vostro then...

[09:30] <gask8er> i downloaded a tar.gz file & im trying to install it
[09:30] <dr_willis> gask8er:  whats in it
[09:31] <gask8er> hopefully my webcam driver
[09:31] <jAguAr`> gask8er, good luck with that! lol every time i try that, i'm missing all kinds of dependancies
[09:31] <dr_willis> !unp
[09:31]  * fprtude1 is really excited to be here for the first time!
[09:32] <dr_willis> extract archive. read any readme it has
[09:32] <gask8er> what is the command to install a tar.gz file?
[09:32] <dr_willis> !info unp
[09:32] <dr_willis> gask8er:  extract and read.. its source most likely
[09:33] <gask8er> i tried that
[09:33] <jAguAr`> gask8er, have u tried tar?
[09:33] <gask8er> it tells the file to do & terminal kees coming back with errors. i think im typing it wrong
[09:33] <Myrtti> gask8er: what are you trying to install?
[09:33] <dr_willis> pastebin the shell session
[09:33] <gask8er> sudo: run: command not found
[09:34] <gask8er> sudo: get: command not found
[09:34] <Myrtti> gask8er: which webcam is this?
[09:34] <fprtude1> yes you are typing it incorrectly
[09:34] <dr_willis> exact line you are running..
[09:34] <gask8er> i have the file path but idk the command to tell linux to install from that file
[09:34] <JelloPop> gask8er: tar xvzf packname .tar.gz cd directory, ./configue make make install make sure to readme.txt file before install
[09:34] <fprtude1> start with sudo -s
[09:34] <dr_willis> you dont just install a tar.gz normally
[09:34] <gask8er> sudo run /gspcav1-20071224/gspca_build
[09:35] <fprtude1> that will give u root privliges
[09:35] <fprtude1> then apt-get install
[09:35] <Myrtti> gask8er: why, no.
[09:35] <Myrtti> gask8er: which webcam do you have?
[09:35] <jAguAr`> fprtude1, is there a set time limit that the root priveledges last for when using sudo -s?
[09:35] <gask8er> sudo get /gspcav1-20071224/gspca_build
[09:35] <Myrtti> gask8er: judging from the filename you might already have the drivers
[09:36] <gask8er> intel cs430...old but still works
[09:36] <Myrtti> gask8er: you don't need to install them that way
[09:36] <LjL> jAguAr`: no, they last until you type "exit". generally it's better to just prepend "sudo" to the single command you're running (in that case, there is a time limit)
[09:36] <dr_willis> i find most webcams work. or have no support at all....
[09:36] <jAguAr`> LjL, that's what i thought... and what i normally do ;-)
[09:37] <gask8er> what command should i use? i know the file i have to do it to. i just need the command
[09:37] <jAguAr`> how stable is 12.04?
[09:38] <dr_willis> beta level stable....
[09:38] <Myrtti> gask8er: which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[09:38] <fprtude1> 12.04 of what?
[09:38] <gask8er> 11.10
[09:38] <jAguAr`> will it crash every time i wanna go to the internet or check my e-mail?
[09:38] <gask8er> i already tried the cheese program...my cam isnt working so im installing driver
[09:39] <jAguAr`> fprtude1, ubuntu 12.04
[09:39] <fprtude1> thanks
[09:39] <fprtude1> where are u guys located?
[09:39]  * jAguAr` is about a half an hour south of Madison, WI
[09:40] <LjL> !ot
[09:40] <JelloPop> jAguAr`: Aurora, colorado :)
[09:40] <fprtude1> cool, I miss Wi :)
[09:40] <gask8er> i downloaded the tar.gz...i just want the command for installing it
[09:41] <fprtude1> untar it
[09:41] <gask8er> did that
[09:41] <fidel> read the readme - if there is one
[09:41] <fidel> as next step after unpacking it
[09:41] <dr_willis> ive never seen a 'run' command in linux like you showed
[09:41] <JelloPop> gask8er: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html
[09:41] <gask8er> did. it tells the file but idk the command to make the terminal run the command
[09:41] <fprtude1> lol /msg fidel what a name*
[09:41] <azertyuio> hello there
[09:42] <gask8er> ty jello
[09:42] <dr_willis> gask8er:  it may be saying to run that file... not use 'run thatfile'
[09:43] <fprtude1> who's a homosexual in here?
[09:43] <fidel> !ot
[09:43] <azertyuio> well i just connected my macbook hdd on my linux system
[09:43] <dr_willis> sudo path/to/file     not   sudo run path/o/file
[09:44] <fidel> apart from that fprtude1 its not really polite to just pm ppl in irc ;)
[09:44] <JelloPop> gask8er: Last time I seen a command like that was in RedHat sure ur running Ubuntu? that command is meant for ubuntu???
[09:44] <azertyuio> it s an 2.5 hdd connected to my ubuntu system
[09:44] <azertyuio> i don't know how to mount it ?
[09:44] <dr_willis> !mount
[09:44] <jAguAr`> JelloPop, i've seen something like that in gentu before... but that was emerge
[09:45] <azertyuio> i know how to mount a classical device
[09:45] <JelloPop> jAguAr`: Well I'm talking back in like 94 since I have seen a compiler needing to do a build ...
[09:45] <dr_willis> !hfs
[09:45] <azertyuio> the disk i got is an macosx disk
[09:46] <JelloPop> jAguAr`: From a terminal
[09:46] <jAguAr`> JelloPop, yeah... that's what i learned linux on (and it was a Red Hat machine!)
[09:47] <JelloPop> jAguAr`: Red Hat still is a nightmare I will stay away gladly :)
[09:47] <Laurenceb_> hi
[09:47] <Laurenceb_> can someone help me with wifi
[09:47] <Laurenceb_> i cant connect to my router
[09:47] <jAguAr`> JelloPop, not really... it was a good learning program
[09:47] <Laurenceb_> connection times out and asks for the password
[09:48] <jAguAr`> JelloPop, after learning a bit about it, i did switch to slackware tho... & then on to a failed attempt at lfs, and then to ubuntu
[09:49] <JelloPop> jAguAr`: hep, well this is a support channel so we better not flood the room
[09:49] <dr_willis> distro of the month club.

[10:02] <Guest1928> hi
[10:02] <satyanash> Hi how do I set the universal file manager in an environment ? I believe it calls some X variable ? I want change it from Nautilus to PCmanFM
[10:04] <gask8er> when i type in "su" command as instructed, it tells me "authentication failed"
[10:04] <Laurenceb_> o>  (wlan0): device state change: 4 -> 5 (reason 0)
[10:04] <gask8er> i think i might have to turn on root
[10:04] <Myrtti> gask8er: no, you don't.
[10:04] <Laurenceb_> i think thats the issue
[10:05] <gask8er> then why am i getting the error message about my password?
[10:05] <Unknown0BC> Greetings.
[10:06] <Myrtti> gask8er: which tutorial are you reading?
[10:06] <Myrtti> gask8er: the tuxfiles one?
[10:06] <gask8er> http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html
[10:07] <Unknown0BC> Is this the correct line for adding software repository located on hard-drive ? deb file:///reposdir oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
[10:07] <gask8er> in step 4 it says to do "su"...when i do it says authentication failed
[10:08] <Myrtti> gask8er: well I still claim that you don't need to compile the drivers yourself, I don't know where you got the idea - I think the problem might be with the fact that the camera firmware is somewhat dependant on Windows or Windows sets some setting in it the wrong way.
[10:08] <Myrtti> gask8er: you're in terminal, right?
[10:08] <gask8er> yeah im in terminal
[10:09] <gask8er> i even closed out & came back in terminal...su still wont authenticate me as root
[10:09] <LjL> gask8er: su won't work in ubuntu, you need to use sudo instead
[10:09] <Myrtti> gask8er: please do "sudo apt-get install pastebinit;sudo lshw | pastebinit
[10:09] <gask8er> oh ok
[10:09] <Myrtti> gask8er: then paste the url that was produced
[10:11] <raven> mixxx - how to separate decks from master-audio-channel?
[10:11] <Aruzsi> Hi, Where do I have to start configure sound subsystem on a server machine? There is sound now. I loaded the modules by hand.
[10:11] <demonboy> guys i am back i have reinstalled ubuntu studio and now i cant upgrade because im not the sudoer
[10:11] <gask8er> it tells me operation is invalid
[10:11] <atul_> subthalamus: the change to apache config did not work..
[10:12] <Myrtti> gask8er: which command?
[10:12] <gask8er> Invalid operation mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz
[10:12] <gask8er> sudo apt-get mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz
[10:13] <NFisher> Hi all! i have a little problem over here. I have a NVIDIA GeForce N550GTX-Ti installed on my Ubuntu Lucid Lynx machine with prop. NVIDIA drivers (v. 295.33). Now every YouTube-Video i watch looks blueish. The Colors are pretty messed up. Like the hue is messed up. In mplayer etc. all videos work just fine. Its only on YouTube. What can that be?
[10:13] <Thor^^> gask8er: apt-get is used to get libraries and applications from the repositories, to get the file specified use wget and untar it using tar xzvf gspacav1-20071224.tar.gz
[10:14] <gask8er> when i run cheese & try to record it shows me on the cam for a second then the cam goes blank
[10:15] <Myrtti> gask8er: I don't think that's a driver problem then
[10:17] <lotuspsychje> NFisher: did you install adobe flash?
[10:17] <NFisher> This is what my Video-Isuue looks like: http://oi44.tinypic.com/nxbud.jpg
[10:17] <NFisher> lotuspsychje, yes.
[10:18] <demonboy> lotus i already told him about flash
[10:18] <NFisher> lotuspsychje, thing is its ONLY on YouTube.. other flash-media works.
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> NFisher: other tube website have that issue?
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> demonboy: ok
[10:18] <Unknown0BC> Is this the correct line for adding software repository located on hard-drive ? deb file:///reposdir oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
[10:18] <NFisher> lotuspsychje, every YT-Video, yes
[10:19] <jnns> does this look the same for you if you use gnome 3.4 under precise? http://i.imgur.com/W45X0.png I'm worried about the padding and the icon background
[10:19] <demonboy> so i has an issue as well and its really irritating it seems i can solve it by becoming a root but i cant become root as i am not the "sudoer" and i just installed this OS clean -_-
[10:20] <NFisher> adobe-flashplugin Version 11.2.202.228-0lucid1 is installed.
[10:20] <lotuspsychje> NFisher: 32 or 64bit?
[10:20] <NFisher> 32
[10:21] <demonboy> and since i cant sudo anything i cant upgrade from hardy heron to lucid lynx ---
[10:21] <lotuspsychje> NFisher: did you install web or software centre
[10:22] <Unknown0BC> Is this the correct APT line for adding a software repository located on hard-drive ? :   deb file:///reposdir oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
[10:22] <Unknown0BC> or how is it done ?
[10:22] <NFisher> lotuspsychje, i installed it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[10:23] <demonboy> fisher try it through the software center
[10:23] <lotuspsychje> NFisher: you could try the one from software centre, sometimes it can fix
[10:23] <NFisher> lotuspsychje, hm..
[10:24] <keegsconte> Filters not working in 12.04 b2
[10:25] <lotuspsychje> im looking for a Gnucash alternative
[10:26] <demonboy> so does any1 know how i can get a root terminal w/o sudo or edit the sudoer file thingy w/o root?
[10:26] <sddhrthrt> demonboy: use a livecd.
[10:26] <demonboy> its ubuntu studio idt there is a live cd
[10:27] <Mkaysi> demonboy: Try selecting "recovery mode" in grub
[10:27] <sddhrthrt> use some other livecd. get to the sudoers file.
[10:27] <Mkaysi> It has option for "root terminal" or something and you can get to visudowith it.
[10:28] <demonboy> i thought i had to edit the kernal line thingy to make it boot to a passwordless root terminal
[10:28] <gask8er> i  unplugged camera from back usb port & hooked it in front. it still only works for a second
[10:28] <demonboy> rw init=/bin/bash
[10:28] <f0rkn1ght> anyone here experienced with web hosting ?
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> f0rkn1ght:just ask in room mate
[10:29] <f0rkn1ght> lotuspsychje,  pretty stupid but need a free web host one I can actually work with/talk too
[10:29] <f0rkn1ght> was hoping local
[10:30] <oCean> f0rkn1ght: that's not an #ubuntu issue
[10:30] <f0rkn1ght> oCean,  alright know a good room?
[10:31] <demonboy> to hell w/ studio im going back to plain ol ubuntu

[10:32] <hp> Hey I am Polish. I can not speak English well: (coping with the translator: D hehe what the hell, I was just making the pogadania, but not the intimate, so you normally write to me :).
[10:33] <hp> Hey I am Polish. I can not speak English well: (coping with the translator: D hehe what the hell, I was just making the pogadania, but not the intimate, so you normally write to me :).
[10:33] <demonboy> i cant make a bootable usb/cd w/o sudo access can i?
[10:33] <rubenz> how do I know whether my machine will support "64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD"
[10:33] <hp> what  .
[10:33] <demonboy> do u have a 64bit processor?
[10:33] <NFisher> re.. it doesnt work with the flash-plugin from the Softwarecenter either.
[10:34] <hp> if anyone is here .... and do not talk about the server
[10:34] <hp> if anyone is here .... and do not talk about the server
[10:34] <NFisher> And i just found out that its not every YouTube-Video.
[10:34] <Bert_2> Hi, yesterday I did some updates including kernel updates on my desktop, now this morning I was unable to get lightdm to start, I did some research and it turns out X fails whenever I have the loading of the nvidia driver in my xorg.conf, is this a known issue or can someone at least help me ?
[10:35] <Myrtti> !pl | hp
[10:35] <demonboy> man i never realised how many issues go on in here on a daily basis
[10:37] <hydrox24> Bert_2: look at booting off a liveCD and then chrooting into your install partition and remove NVIDIA, gotta go though sorry
[10:38] <Bert_2> I want to point out that hydrox24's solution is totally not useful as I am able to run CLI, I just might want to use my full 3D graphics ?
[10:39] <Unknown0BC> Is this the correct APT line for adding a software repository located on hard-drive ? :   deb file:///reposdir oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
[10:40] <SwashBuckla> how do you play dvd with mplayer?
[10:41] <sddhrthrt> Unknown0BC: try it out.
[10:41] <sddhrthrt> reload synaptic after you add it
[10:41] <appi_uppi> can i change the tcp tuning parameters in ubuntu 10.04 to speed upload and download of data?
[10:41] <rubenz> demonboy: i need to check if its an AMD processor
[10:41] <Unknown0BC> sddhrthrt, tried. Software Center in 11.10 gives no feedback.
[10:42] <sddhrthrt> Unknown0BC: uh.
[10:42] <Unknown0BC> sddhrthrt, I also don't see the software in the repository appearing.
[10:42] <sddhrthrt> no, go to the repos list and chck if it's updated
[10:42] <Unknown0BC> So i'm wondering about the APT syntax
[10:42] <appi_uppi> i'm trying to change the tcp kernel settings to increase data transfer rates
[10:42] <sddhrthrt> go to 'Software Sources'
[10:43] <fidel> appi_uppi: why do you think youshould do so?
[10:43] <gan> Hello.  If I install Precise Beta2, will I get all updates through the update mechanism (i.e. will the resulting system eventually be exactly equal to an install made from the upcoming "non-beta" ISO?)
[10:43] <Unknown0BC> sddhrthrt, I used Software Center to put in the apt line. It is there. Ticked.
[10:44] <SwashBuckla> sddhrthrt: cool IRC nick :D
[10:44] <appi_uppi> fidel, downloading and uploading takes lots of time
[10:44] <yeats> gan: yes, but support for that is only in #ubuntu+1, FYI
[10:44] <appi_uppi> fidel, i'm using accer 5536 and installed ubuntu 10.04.. since then the network performance is poor
[10:44] <sddhrthrt> SwashBuckla: you too. :P removed vowels from my name.
[10:45] <fidel> appi_uppi: so you expect the default settings to be unoptimized and allusers to modify their tcp-settings manually?
[10:45] <gan> yeats: didn't understand.  I'm in the wrong channel you mean?
[10:45] <yeats> gan: correct
[10:45] <yeats> !12.04 | gan
[10:45] <gan> OK understood..  Thankyou kindly for the answer.
[10:45] <JelloPop> http://tvpc.com/Movie.php?MovieID=1560  hunger games... later
[10:45] <fidel> appi_uppi: i dont think youshould mess around in that area - at least not if you are really knowing what you do ;)
[10:46] <appi_uppi> fidel, hmm
[10:46] <tlvb> is it reasonable that an update+upgrade+dist-upgrade takes >12h?
[10:47] <appi_uppi> fidel, not exactly.. but i have configure openssh-hpn patched ssh and then changed the tcp kernel settings as per http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/sshd-server-optimization.html
[10:47] <sddhrthrt> deb file:///home/repository SuiteCodename main restricted universe multiverse
[10:47] <fidel> measure your down & up speed over time (1 week) compare it with other boxes in your local network - keep in mind that most internet-lines arent per se sycghron dsl lines etc
[10:47] <appi_uppi> fidel, since then i see massive gain in transfer rates
[10:48] <appi_uppi> i see
[10:48] <Unknown0BC> sddhrthrt, yeah. But I don't think its working this side... :\
[10:48] <Unknown0BC> weird
[10:48] <appi_uppi> fidel, but when i use windows the transfer rates are quite good when compared to linux
[10:48] <sddhrthrt> chuck. you got it working right? Unknown0BC
[10:49] <fidel> appi_uppi: well then - do whatever you think youshould do . cant help you there
[10:49] <appi_uppi> fidel, do you think ubuntu doesn't have proper drivers for accer 5536
[10:49] <appi_uppi> ?
[10:49] <appi_uppi> fidel, i wont do :)
[10:49] <Unknown0BC> sddhrhrt apache is in the repository I added for example. But I cant find it in sofware center.
[10:50] <appi_uppi> fidel, i was checking before i mess up
[10:50] <sddhrthrt> !tab | Unknown0BC
[10:50] <sddhrthrt> you dont have to type it out with so much pain :D
[10:50] <demonboy> so i had a new idea... any1 know how to take the hackers approach to my situation?
[10:50] <demonboy> privilige escalation?
[10:50] <sddhrthrt> ah .. i'm not very comfy ith addding my own repos. i can check and tell, but anyway mine is 10.04
[10:50] <Unknown0BC> sddhrthrt, yeah.
[10:50] <yeats> tlvb: what exactly is taking so long? downloading or installing?
[10:51] <sddhrthrt> i'm off
[10:51] <sddhrthrt> Home!!! Here i come!
[10:51] <demonboy> because now i just wanna make a bootable usb for ubuntu and i cant run unetbootin because i cant sudo/root
[10:52] <demonboy> ... and i kinda broke the ubuntu studio cd i had by siting on it :/
[10:52] <demonboy> so now im SOL unless some1 knows another way to make a bootable from an iso w/o sudo/root
[10:53] <tlvb> yeats: it seems to be dependency resolution, (open: 96425; closed 216931; forwarded: 879; conflicts: 626) <-translation from Swedish, What I did was an aptitude update and aptitude upgrade
[10:55] <tlvb> although, the numbers have not updated for a while and it seems to be stuck mainly in disk IO
[10:56] <yeats> tlvb: I would assume that there is something wrong with your system then
[10:56] <yeats> tlvb: meaning, that it's not specifically related to aptitude/APT
[10:56] <GreatDanton> anybody knows how to upgrade bios in linux?
[10:56] <demonboy> isnt the bios on ur mobo not ur OS?
[10:57] <GreatDanton> right, but if you have only linux on your laptop
[10:57] <tlvb> yeats: ok, thanks, maybe a reinstall would be more beneficial then...
[10:57] <demonboy> oh maybe a DOS box?
[10:57] <yeats> GreatDanton: do you mean that you have an .exe or some other Windows-based file that supposed to upgrade it?
[10:57] <GreatDanton> yes
[10:57] <GreatDanton> right
[10:57] <demonboy> wine lol
[10:58] <NFisher> my java (10.04.4) performs much worse than my windows version of it (same machine). Is there a possibility to activate hardware acceleration like in flash or anything like it?
[10:58] <yeats> tlvb: you might boot into a live CD and do a fsck first (and maybe run through the "System Testing" tool)
[10:59] <GreatDanton> Isnt that you can use wine only when you have windows on your computer?
[10:59] <tlvb> GreatDanton: no, wine does not require windows
[11:00] <GreatDanton> thank you
[11:00] <GreatDanton> so with wine i can flash bios and upgrade it?
[11:00] <yeats> GreatDanton: it *might* work ;-)
[11:00] <yeats> definitely worth a try
[11:01] <GreatDanton> well might. It has to work 100% otherwise icant use my laptop anymore
[11:01] <yeats> GreatDanton: agreed - tread lightly
[11:02] <yeats> GreatDanton: sometimes the vendor will provide a mechanism to create a bootable USB to do that kind of thing
[11:03] <GreatDanton> thanks for this informations
[11:03] <demonboy> actually if wine fails u will have to use DOS to restore ur laptop if im correct
[11:04] <demonboy> any1 here familiar w/ privilage escalation?
[11:04] <demonboy> or is tht not allowed to be talked about here?
[11:04] <dalek_> hi. I changed my nvidia driver from version 173 (recommended) to nvidia-current to see what happened. Didn't work. Now I can't load the display manager. How do I get 173 driver back again? I am in a tty shell.
[11:04] <MrElendig> demonboy: mostly the later
[11:05] <MrElendig> dalek_: what card do you have?
[11:06] <knowj> Is there any reason "sudo usermod -d /srv <username> would lockout my user via sftp?
[11:06] <demonboy> elendig i ask because atm it seems like my only option... i am in low graphical mode, have no access to root, cannot sudo as i am not a sudoer, and i sat on my install disk so now i cant load a root shell
[11:06] <dalek_> MrElendig: not sure. nvidia gforce something, which is one of the cards covered by the 173 version driver from nvidia
[11:06] <yeats> demonboy: have you tried booting into recovery mode? there's an option to drop to a root shell so you can fix sudo
[11:06] <demonboy> MrElendig*
[11:06] <MrElendig> demonboy: lspci will tell you what card you have
[11:06] <MrElendig> er.. dalek_ ^
[11:06] <demonboy> ik what card i have and what driver i need
[11:07] <MrElendig> dalek_: 173xx should _only_ be used for fx5xxx serie cards
[11:07] <demonboy> i cannot install anything lol
[11:07] <demonboy> unless theres a way to make an install disk/usb w/o sudo/root access idk about
[11:07] <StartingLinux> hello i just downloaded wmware workstation 8 but i'm newbie with linux can you help me install it from my download folder?
[11:07] <MrElendig> demonboy: go talk to the admin of the box to get whatever you need installed
[11:08] <dalek_> MrElendig: Nvidia geForce FX Go5200 is the card
[11:08] <demonboy> elendig this is my system
[11:08] <demonboy> i just REINSTALLED the darn os
[11:08] <MrElendig> dalek_: just reinstall the 173xx driver using aptitude?
[11:08] <demonboy> because of a xserver error i couldnt fix
[11:08] <yeats> StartingLinux: you might want to ask in #vmware
[11:08] <StartingLinux> is help avaible?
[11:08] <StartingLinux> thanks
[11:08] <demonboy> and now i just wanna drop ubuntu studio and go back to ubuntu
[11:08] <MrElendig> demonboy: uhm, why do you need a root escelation expoit then?
[11:09] <MrElendig> demonboy: just use su/sudo
[11:09] <demonboy> because appearently something went wrong in the install
[11:09] <demonboy> i cant
[11:09] <demonboy> i get an error saying im not a "sudoer"
[11:09] <lobster_> is it possible to change ubuntu 11.10 interface to ubuntu 10.04?
[11:09] <demonboy> i cant sudo i cant make a new cd
[11:09] <yeats> demonboy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[11:10] <blami> demonboy: then reboot with live, mount your rootfs and add yourself to sudoers?
[11:10] <MrElendig> lobster_: you can install mate, but it really doesn't have the maintainers needed for it to be a usable project
[11:10] <MrElendig> lobster_: mate is a fork of gnome2
[11:10] <demonboy> blami ubuntu studio doesnt have a live cd and i just said i sat on my install disk and broke it
[11:10] <demonboy> otherwise i wouldnt be here asking for help haha
[11:10] <MrElendig> lobster_: if you just want something that is similar to gnome2, just install xfce instead
[11:11] <yeats> demonboy: have you read the link I just posted?
[11:11] <blami> demonboy: you can use any other. Sysrescuecd will work
[11:11] <demonboy> reading it now
[11:11] <demonboy> i dont have 1
[11:11] <MrElendig> you can make one
[11:11] <demonboy> thts y i am trying to make 1 and i  canr
[11:11] <demonboy> cant*
[11:11] <yeats> that tells you how to fix sudo - no extra disk required
[11:11] <MrElendig> don't need root to burn/copy to usb stick
[11:11] <demonboy> elendig how do u recon i make 1 w/o root/sudo access
[11:12] <lobster_> MrElendig: I would like to same GUI interface that ubuntu 10.04 has. it is easier for me to navigate and do other stuff. in this case, should I just install xface?
[11:12] <demonboy> unetbootin wont work w/o sudo/root access
[11:12] <OerHeks> MrElendig, yes you need sudo to make an usb-install
[11:12] <benvei> Will ubuntu run under windows 8 Hyper-V ?
[11:12] <demonboy> now u understand my current prediciment
[11:12] <lobster_> MrElendig: I had ubuntu 10.0
[11:12] <MrElendig> OerHeks: actually it is possible without
[11:13] <OerHeks> demonboy, short way to solve all this, is re-install
[11:13] <demonboy> oer i cant haha
[11:13] <lobster_> MrElendig: I had ubuntu 10.04 on my VM ware, yesterday I installed wibu and it automatically installed 11.10 and it seems cool but not much functional for me
[11:13] <demonboy> i broke my install disk like 5 mins ago
[11:13] <yeats> OerHeks: or he can fix sudo
[11:13] <demonboy> i sat on it by accident
[11:13] <Varazir> I'm trying to controll a linux system that is to old to run vmware drivers with one that can do that ( mini installed ubuntu server) My ide was to create a script that run on shutdown before the vmware drivers shutdown. But how can I make sure this script runs before anything ells is shuts down ?
[11:14] <yeats> (that's apparently not being considered here though for some reason :-/)
[11:14] <MrElendig> lobster_: as said, you can always install xfce, it is somewhat similar to gnome2
[11:14] <lobster_> MrElendig: thanks
[11:14] <demonboy> it is i am reading it
[11:15] <MrElendig> lobster_: or the gnome2 fork mate, but imo it doesn't have enough maintainers to be worth using
[11:16] <demonboy> i i just prefer not to reboot because my memory sucks
[11:16] <demonboy> and i need to see the commands i need to type as i type them
[11:16] <demonboy> thts y i ask for privilage escalation
[11:17] <MrElendig> demonboy: pen and paper
[11:17] <bodsda> Varazir: create another shutdown script that runs the shudown stuff for the old server, then calls the standard shutdown command
[11:17] <demonboy> like i said this is my system its making me agry enough to kinda want windows back but at the sasme time i despise windows
[11:18] <demonboy> same*
[11:18] <xds_> who has  wpoonwpa2  support kubuntu                       help@@@@@
[11:18] <OerHeks> demonboy, you need to reboot if you want to solve it with yeats link.
[11:18] <lobster_> when I type "df -h", I see that my SD card is on /dev/mmcblk0p1  , doesnt it suppose to be on /dev/sdX ?
[11:18] <demonboy> i know
[11:18] <MrElendig> lobster_: no
[11:18] <demonboy> and yeats link seems as though it will work but ima forget and i dont have a pen~!
[11:18] <MrElendig> lobster_: sd/xd cards does get named /dev/mmcblk*
[11:19] <demonboy> omfg -_-
[11:19] <bodsda> lobster_: you may be seeing the mount point rather than the device name - do you see it in   sudo fdisk -l   ?
[11:19] <MrElendig> lobster_: because they don't use the scsi subsystem
[11:19] <yeats> demonboy: go buy a pen! :-P
[11:19] <blami> demonboy: lol youre such generator of bad obstacles :>
[11:19] <demonboy> its 5 am
[11:20] <demonboy> i know todays not my day
[11:20] <MrElendig> demonboy: write in blood! or use an pencile, or a piece of charcoal :p
[11:20] <lobster_> MrElendig: I see the device name by sudo fdisk -l
[11:20] <bodsda> demonboy: write it on your phone
[11:20] <blami> demonboy: cut yourself and note it in blood to your desk
[11:20] <ikonia> ok - stop it now
[11:20] <blami> MrElendig: +1
[11:20] <lobster_> MrElendig: thank u
[11:21] <ikonia> this is an ubuntu technical support/discussion channel, stop with this "write it in blood" nonsense please.
[11:21] <demonboy> haha i wish i had a phone... sadly i sold it to get a computer xD
[11:21] <blami> ikonia: sorry
[11:21] <blah> Can anyone tell me what happens when i enable grab mode in gksu-properties?

[11:28] <ikonia> dimitri: that is nothing to do with ubuntu - please don't ask again
[11:28] <silv3r_m00n> or to upload file to remote machine ?
[11:28] <dimitri> k
[11:28] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: no it's not, please re-read what bodsda said
[11:28] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: you can use it either way
[11:29] <freewayzify> i have a remina remote desktop client but dont know how to use it
[11:29] <ikonia> freewayzify: how is that an ssh question ?
[11:29] <silv3r_m00n> ikonia: you mean like this scp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ubuntu@localhost:/home/ubuntu/httpd.conf  ?
[11:30] <MrElendig> freewayzify: rdp is not ssh
[11:30] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: that will put the file on the remote system, use
[11:30] <ikonia> yes
[11:30] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: not localhost
[11:30] <freewayzify> so what d function of ssh
[11:30] <silv3r_m00n> I want to download from remote
[11:30] <silv3r_m00n> GET , not PUT
[11:30] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: ooh wait, you are trying to do this to the same host ?
[11:30] <silv3r_m00n> but I am in the remote machines shell
[11:30] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: then just use "cp"
[11:30] <silv3r_m00n> what ?
[11:30] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: scp youruser@remote:/some/file some/where/on/your/local/box
[11:30] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: scp user@host:/file /path/to/local/place
[11:30] <bodsda> ikonia: he wants download not upload :)
[11:30] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: outside the ssh session
[11:30] <tegra> what program do you use for remote desktop in ubuntu ?
[11:31] <silv3r_m00n> I need someway to do inside the remote session ,not outside it
[11:31] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: or scp some/file user@yourlocalbox:/some/place  inside the ssh session
[11:31] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: ok, so scp /path/to/file user@remotehost:/path/to/put
[11:31] <silv3r_m00n> MrElendig: what is yourlocalbox ?
[11:32] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: what is the name of the machine you are on
[11:32] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: hostname/ip of your local machine
[11:32] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: lets give you an exact example
[11:32] <bodsda> silv3r_m00n: it's the machine you want to send the file to
[11:32] <MrElendig> must be resolvable from the remote
[11:32] <silv3r_m00n> funny
[11:32] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: what is the name of the host you are on
[11:32] <silv3r_m00n> how can we expect that to work
[11:33] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: give me the info and I will give you the exact command as I'm getting bored now
[11:33] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: just copy from outside the session
[11:33] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: what is the name of the host you are on
[11:33] <silv3r_m00n> its my VPS server and I am try to copy a file from it to my machine , I am root on VPS right now , and I want to copy a file
[11:33] <MrElendig> (you don't have to close the session to do it)
[11:33] <silv3r_m00n> MrElendig: no , I cannot do outside session , I have many files to copy
[11:33] <silv3r_m00n> I can't jump in and out of session
[11:33] <freewayzify> silv3r whta is d function of ssh
[11:33] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: What is the name of the host you are on
[11:33] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: give me the info and I will give you the exact command
[11:34] <silv3r_m00n> its my computer called ubuntu-desktop and my username is ubuntu and my computer is in a LAN
[11:34] <MrElendig> silv3r_m00n: you might want to use sftp or sshfs instead then
[11:34] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: so you are on "ubuntu-desktop" what is the name fo the remove host
[11:34] <silv3r_m00n> I know how to make it work outside ssh session by using the commands you showed , but I need a way to do it inside session
[11:34] <ikonia> "remote" host sorry
[11:34] <trinity_> hi i want to connect via telnet with root but i cant connect can you help
[11:34] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: for the last time - give me the info and I will give you the command
[11:34] <ikonia> Tiven: telnet is disabled, the root account is disabled
[11:35] <MrElendig> trinity_: you do NOT EVER want to log in as root using telnet
[11:35] <silv3r_m00n> I think I got it
[11:35] <MrElendig> trinity_: in fact, never use telnet, use ssh instead (and don't do root login, connect as normal user and use su/sudo to gain root instead)
[11:35] <trinity_> MrElendig : got your point we can do all with sudo but i want to ask is there any option
[11:36] <bodsda> MrElendig: telnet has its uses
[11:36] <ikonia> trinity_: you can use telnet, but the root account is disabled
[11:36] <MrElendig> bodsda: sure, it is awesome if you want to steal someones password
[11:36] <milos_> hi people hawe some one from serbia ?
[11:36] <bodsda> MrElendig: or check for listening ports
[11:36] <MrElendig> bodsda: or spy on them
[11:37] <MrElendig> bodsda: nc/<insertfavoriteportscanner> is better for that
[11:37] <trinity_> ikonia, yes coz one of my friend he can access the root of his sytem via ssh n telnet but when i tried i cant n i have not any resources to connect with root
[11:37] <Dr_willis> sounds like a good use for 'screen'
[11:37] <ikonia> trinity_: correct, because the root account is disabled
[11:37] <bodsda> MrElendig: no, I mean from a troubleshooting point of view. If I want to know if my citrix server is accepting ICA connection, I can telnet to the ICA port and see if I get a response
[11:37] <fidel> trinity_: why would you connect as root in the first place? (ignoring the ssh vs telnet part of the discussion)?
[11:38] <trinity_> ikonia, o tx for this
[11:38] <trinity_> fidel, coz i want to know that if we can know only root password then how many ways to connect remote system.
[11:39] <richard_> richard tester
[11:39] <milos_> hawe some one to help i am new on linux :)
[11:39] <tegra> what program do you use for remote sessions in ubuntu ?
[11:39] <fidel> milos_: ask a question
[11:40] <Dr_willis> milos_,  if you want to run a windows.exe from the gui you need to set the file to be executale. (for some silly security reasoning) or just use the shell 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe'
[11:40] <trinity_> tegra, do ask me ??
[11:40] <tegra> no all
[11:40] <Dr_willis> seems to be a poor way to use the executable bit.  but I guess its to head off windows malware.
[11:40] <milos_> hm ok howe to do that :) sorry i am totaly new on this :)
[11:41] <Dr_willis> !permissions
[11:41] <tegra> !remote
[11:41] <Dr_willis> right click the exe. check the executable flag thing i recall. i never set them executable.
[11:41] <Guest24085> bonjour
[11:41] <milos_> ok thx :)
[11:41] <ihatewindows> Hi
[11:41] <tegra> there is an official program for remote desktop in ubuntu ?
[11:41] <ihatewindows> My ubuntu does not recognize my HHD
[11:41] <Guest24085> je suis newbie sur ubuntu
[11:41] <ihatewindows> what can I do?

[11:43] <Guest24085> please
[11:43] <OldManMagnus> lobster_: gparted is a handy tool for dealing with partitions.
[11:43] <Dr_willis> tegra,  gnome by default has the vino remote desktop feature. theres alternatives. Like teamviewer
[11:43] <demonboy> magnus  i believe u ad a "1" after the "+"
[11:43] <OldManMagnus> demonboy: ah.
[11:43] <OldManMagnus> thanks.
[11:43] <demonboy> yw
[11:43] <tegra> Dr_willis, ok thanks
[11:43] <fidel> Guest24085: never heard of greffon - nor does it look to be in the repos. could you point us to what that software should be?
[11:44] <demonboy> so guys whats yals take on the raspberry pi
[11:44] <lobster_> OldManMagnus: thanks
[11:44] <Guest24085> i have a video .mov that i can see

[11:51] <troy_> does anyone here use plank it is sort of like docky. but for some reason i have no idea on how to get plank to auto start on boot. anyone have any idea how i can do this?
[11:51] <demonboy> try x=3
[11:52] <demonboy> try x=3
[11:52] <Ravaro> there are two boxes to answer, what is the other one demonboy
[11:52] <Dr_willis> Ravaro,  people tend to not go to random url's people post just to read a question theymay have no answer for.. and for other reasons.... so whatever..
[11:52] <demonboy> uhm...
[11:52] <demonboy> hang on
[11:52] <Ravaro> dr_willis: it's a screenshot of a math problem i have to finish
[11:52] <Dr_willis> gask8er,  you can renumber the files in /etc/grub.d/*
[11:53] <Dr_willis> Ravaro,  so - its not ubuntu related at all.
[11:53] <Ravaro> well
[11:53] <Ravaro> it's one of the two
[11:53] <MrElendig> seanbright: run vlc from a terminal and see what errors it prints?
[11:53] <Ravaro> dr_willis: it's math related, which has some stuffs to do with ubuntu
[11:53] <Kvik> Why does tap don't work with aptitude in kbubuntu?
[11:53] <lobster_> do I need to mount the SD card before format it?
[11:53] <Dr_willis> lobster_,  no.
[11:53] <llutz_> lobster_: no
[11:54] <lobster_> thanks
[11:54] <demonboy> idk lol 1/x-1 = x-1/4.... x=3 satisfies both solutions
[11:54] <demonboy> no its math hw lol
[11:54] <demonboy> rav it has nothing to do w/ ubuntu
[11:54] <demonboy> but im a nice guy
[11:55] <Ravaro> doesn't ubuntu feature calculators
[11:55] <demonboy> doesnt windows feature a calculator
[11:55] <Ravaro> but, demonboy: it has to be two different solutions
[11:55] <Dr_willis> google has a calcultor....
[11:55] <Ravaro> and mine crashes when i load it
[11:55] <jrib> Ravaro: stop talking about it here; this channel is for ubuntu support *only*
[11:56] <demonboy> well sry rav all i know is if u plug in 3 it satisfies both solutions
[11:56] <demonboy>  and appearently i must stop answering u
[11:56] <Ravaro> dr_willis: http://prntscr.com/7l8ga
[11:56] <Ravaro> it doesn't even know what 3+3 is
[11:56] <jrib> Ravaro: last warning.
[11:56] <Dr_willis> Ravaro,  not my problem.
[11:57] <demonboy> jrib click tht 1 u may actually laugh
[11:57] <lobster_> what is the command to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 ?
[11:57] <jrib> sad
[11:57] <demonboy> ik
[11:58] <tegra> anyone installed ubuntu on android system in chroot ?
[11:58] <gask8er> dr_willis there is 8 files in that folder besides the readme....which file is it i should edit?
[11:58] <demonboy> rav is tht like algebra 2 stuff?
[11:58] <Dr_willis> lobster_,  sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/makeadir  -t auto (or similer)
[11:58] <ikonia> tegra: it has been done by canonical on a phone project
[11:58] <Dr_willis> gask8er,  notice how they are numbered? thats the order they get added to the grub menus. I dont know what you want to do exactly.
[11:59] <gask8er> im wanting to change which os it boots to by default
[12:00] <Dr_willis> gask8er,  which linux os? or what... it pays to be detailed..
[12:00] <gask8er> my default is ubuntu but  i want to change it to boot windows on default
[12:01] <llutz_> gask8er: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/07_os-prober && sudo update-grub
[12:02] <yeats> !info startupmanager | gask8er
[12:03] <yeats> gask8er: that's an easy-to-use GUI that will let you select GRUB defaults (including default line for which OS to boot)
[12:04] <gask8er> ok thanks
[12:05] <gask8er> i got it installing now
[12:06] <Petskull> Dear christ!!  How hard is finding a bluetooth mouse that works with linux and isn't total crap?!?!?
[12:06] <gask8er> ok now time to restart & see if this works
[12:06] <keegsconte> Rocket fish
[12:08] <keegsconte> I have rocket fish mouse and keyboard, works great with bluetooth and ubuntu.
[12:09] <trinity_> Petskull, which linux and mouse are you using
[12:11] <gask8er> it still boots to ubuntu by default. the program didnt do it
[12:12] <llutz_> gask8er: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/07_os-prober && sudo update-grub
[12:12] <yeats> gask8er: hmm that has always worked for me - not knowing exactly what you did, I'm not sure what to advise
[12:12] <Petskull> trinity_, I don't have one, I'm looking for one online.  The reviews all say they suck.  I'm on Natty.  I need a bluetooth mouse because my laptop usb ports are smashed.
[12:12] <Petskull> trinity_, I'm just bitching, mostly, I guess
[12:13] <trinity_> Petskull, see this to install blutooth : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup and
[12:13] <trinity_> Petskull, tell you one thing ubuntu is most friendly then other LINUX
[12:14] <Petskull> trinity_, nah, that's not what I'm looking for.  I guess I'm looking for other people's favorite bluetooth mouses
[12:14] <Petskull> I'm not at the setup stage yet
[12:14] <Petskull> I appreciate it, though
[12:14] <gask8er> ty llutz .ill reboot now to see if ur command worked
[12:15] <servant12> hello all, my command "find "$PWD" -type f|sort -n" still sorts the files being with '10' before files beginning with '1'
[12:15] <trinity_> Petskull, sorry may b  i m not getting you , i think you searching bt mouse to buy
[12:15] <llutz_> gas why ever you reboot
[12:16] <trinity_> Petskull, or something else if you want to buy then see one think there is two types mouse one Wirless and other is Bluetooth
[12:16] <Petskull> trinity_- yes, I am searching for a bluetooth mouse for purchase.  I don't know with one to pick because the reviews on all of them are garbage.
[12:16] <Petskull> Wireless is USB, which I can't do
[12:16] <trinity_> Petskull, you should go for Dell bluetooth mouse but not wirless
[12:16] <gask8er> l goes to ubuntu default
[12:16] <gask8er> *still
[12:17] <yeats> gask8er: do you have more than one version of linux installed on your computer?
[12:17] <llutz_> gask8er: do you have more than 1 linux installation?
[12:17] <yeats> heh
[12:17] <trinity_> Petskull, you should go for Dell Bt mouse its aprox $25 to $30 and its more better then others
[12:17] <llutz_> gask8er: seems you modify the wrong grub-installation
[12:18] <gask8er> no. i only had windows until i just installed this version of ubuntu
[12:18] <llutz_> gask8er: grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg|tail -1
[12:18] <szal> as we say in German: 2 stupid persons, 1 thought ;)
[12:19] <Petskull> trinity_, I was looking at that one, actually.  What do you think?
[12:19] <Petskull> seems ok
[12:19] <gask8er> menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os {
[12:19] <llutz_> gask8er: grep DEFAULT /etc/default/grub

[12:20] <gask8er> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[12:20] <trinity_> Petskull, i m using that mouse with my lappy that is sooth and fine n it's take less battery then others
[12:20] <llutz_> gask8er: set that to GRUB_DEFAULT=0
[12:20] <gask8er> idk how
[12:20] <llutz_> gask8er: sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[12:21] <llutz_> gask8er: ctrl-X to quit/save after changing the value, "sudo update-grub" again then
[12:21] <Petskull> trinity_, as, nice!
[12:21] <Petskull> ah*
[12:22] <trinity_> Petskull, its ok dear
[12:22] <lobster_> I used gparted to format a sd card, but something wrong with the partition table. I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/mwjiPTTZ
[12:22] <lobster_> what should I do?
[12:22] <gask8er> file name to write: /etc/default/grub ....is it asking me to save that?
[12:23] <llutz_> gask8er: just "enter"
[12:23] <MrElendig> llutz_: normally ou don't format a sd card like that
[12:23] <gask8er> sorry bout that. thought i was on terminal window
[12:23] <MrElendig> just mkfs the device
[12:23] <gask8er> now ill try a reboot...again
[12:23] <MrElendig> llutz_: sd cards are not quite like other block devices
[12:24] <llutz_> MrElendig: i didn't :) tell lobster_
[12:24] <MrElendig> bha
 fail
[12:24] <MrElendig> lobster_: ^
[12:25] <Dr_willis> my sd card has 2 partitons for my netbooks linux setup. :)
[12:26] <gask8er> ubuntu is still default
[12:26] <llutz_> gask8er: you did "sudo update-grub" after changing the file?
[12:26] <Dr_willis> gask8er,  you can put the # of the os-prober file to be lower then then the other file. and windows will appear at the top of the list.
[12:26] <gask8er> no i forgot to
[12:26] <greymech_> msg NickServ indentify war5farin
[12:26] <Dr_willis> i forget the names/numbers.. i do know that grub docs/guides mention this method.
[12:26] <llutz_> Dr_willis: he aleady did
[12:27] <Dr_willis> looks like he frogot uopdate-grub then., :)
[12:27] <llutz_> yep
[12:27] <llutz_> Dr_willis: ..mv 30_os-prober 07_os-prober...
[12:27] <Dr_willis> people never want to read the grub docs..
[12:27] <llutz_> people never want to read
[12:28] <lobster_> sorry I couldnt get it:)  what do I need to do ?
[12:28] <mydogsnameisrudy> read ?
[12:30] <gask8er> i just did the sudo update-grub so now i'll try restarting again
[12:32] <gask8er> still isnt doing it...ubuntu is default
[12:33] <llutz_> gask8er: grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg|tail -1            again
[12:33] <llutz_> gask8er: grep DEFAULT /etc/default/grub
[12:34] <gask8er> menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os {
[12:34] <llutz_> gask8er: does "MS WIndows" appear as 1st entry in the menu when you boot?
[12:34] <lobster_> I installed ubuntu by wubi. how can I access my folders/documents on the windows?
[12:34] <gask8er> GRUB_DEFAULT=0
[12:34] <gask8er> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[12:34] <gask8er> no it doesnt
[12:34] <FloodBot1> gask8er: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:35] <llutz_> gask8er: do you run from usb/external disk?
[12:35] <gask8er> no bith os are on this same hard drive. its only hard drive on the system...no thumb drive or any other drive hooked in
[12:36] <llutz_> gask8er: then your grub isn't installed into MBR (wherever thatbooting grub comes from). To rewrite grub into the MBR, "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"
[12:36] <yeats> lobster_: the windows partition should appear when you open Nautilus (file manager)  it may be called "<size>GB Filesystem" or something like that
[12:36] <gask8er> ok i did that
[12:37] <gask8er> now try a reboot & see if that works?
[12:37] <llutz_> gask8er: yep
[12:37] <gask8er> ok
[12:38] <hylian> have you noticed that all of a sudden you get a grub menu with a debian space theme background? before it was hiding the menu, but now...
[12:38] <ikonia> hylian: what ?
[12:38] <gask8er> didnt work
[12:39] <llutz_> gask8er: did you get any error when doing "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"
[12:39] <gask8er> no
[12:40] <yeats> gask8er: have you installed ubuntu on this laptop before and then reinstalled? it doesn't make sense that 1) you don't see the Windows option and 2) nothing people have suggested has changed anything
[12:40] <gask8er> ive never had ubuntu installed on this pc
[12:40] <hylian> ikonia, i booted this morning to a pretty space motif in grub2 menu, with the word debian on it. i didn't install this myself, jst wondering why it is there. it was not there yesterday.
[12:40] <gask8er> im about ready to just redo the ubuntu install
[12:40] <lobster_> yeats: I have one filesystem but when I click on it, I see ubuntu directories like dev, etc, home.. can it be inside one directory?
[12:40] <ikonia> hylian: that's not come from ubuntu
[12:41] <llutz_> yeats: the changes took place, at least /boot/grub/grub.cfg shows that os-prober runs before 10-linux etc. it is just not written into mbr (whyever)
[12:41] <yeats> lobster_: no it would be listed in the left panel
[12:41] <llutz_> gask8er: do you have enabled something like "boot-virus protection" in BIOS?
[12:42] <gask8er> i dont think i have
[12:42] <gask8er> id have to go into bios & see
[12:42] <lobster_> yeats: under devices category, I have "system reserved" when I right click and select "mount" it doesnt mount. I can not open it
[12:43] <gask8er> want me to check?
[12:43] <llutz_> gask8er: well, its the last idea i have about this issue
[12:43] <gask8er> ok ill reboot & check bios
[12:44] <yeats> lobster_: that wouldn't be it - I've not used wubi in several years, so I don't know why it wouldn't be showing up
[12:44] <plouffe> I'm in recovery console, cannot see my wireless device with iwconfig, cannot bring it up with ifconfig wlan0 up. But I know it's there. What's the problem?
[12:45] <ikonia> plouffe: the problem is it won't all be setup
[12:45] <Zoffix> I finally installed my Ubuntu :) After 12 hours! And it's still not ready to go (e.g. my monitor res is not showing up in the list *sigh*)
[12:45] <ikonia> plouffe: recovery mode is a mininal setup to boot your machine
[12:45] <ikonia> plouffe: the network system isn't even running at that point
[12:45] <diimdeep> hello, what is preferable distro to deploy on vps right now ?
[12:45] <ikonia> diimdeep: up to you
[12:45] <ikonia> diimdeep: your wants/needs/ideas - your choice
[12:46] <plouffe> ikonia, I know, but I could connect using dhclient, but now I don't have ethernet, only the wireless, so how can I make it work?
[12:46] <lobster_> yeats: is there any mode to be root on Nautilus in the GUI interface?
[12:46] <diimdeep> ikonia: in next month should out LTS
[12:46] <diimdeep> so ..
[12:46] <ikonia> plouffe: you'll need to manually load all the modules, setup the wireless network, bring the interface up, get an ip/set an ip etc
[12:46] <ikonia> diimdeep: so what ?
[12:46] <yeats> lobster_: you should be able to do 'gksudo nautilus' from the terminal
[12:47] <hylian> ikonia, no, this is from ubuntu. i did not do this. i updated last night, and this morning i got a cute little grub 2 menu with a debian space themed background.
[12:47] <Dr_willis> lobster_,  theres some addons to add a 'nautilus as root' but i reccomend not running nautilus as root...
[12:47] <yeats> lobster_: but be careful ;-)
[12:47] <ikonia> hylian: it's not from ubuntu
[12:47] <plouffe> ikonia, how do I load the modules? Which modules do I needß
[12:47] <diimdeep> what version of distro should be easy to upgrade to upcoming LTS ?
[12:47] <ikonia> hylian: you've installed something from a repo containing debain logos
[12:47] <ikonia> plouffe: depends onyour card and setup
[12:47] <ikonia> diimdeep: again - up to you, all will upgrade to the 12.04 build
[12:47] <Myrtti> diimdeep: either 11.10 or 10.04
[12:47] <lobster_> can I unroot me after that? :)
[12:48] <yeats> lobster_: just close the window
[12:48] <Dr_willis> diimdeep,  may as well use the 12.04 beta2 if you want it that badly
[12:48] <lobster_> ok thank you :)
[12:48] <plouffe> ikonia, how can I find out what modules are required for my card and setup?
[12:48] <hylian> ikonia, yes, but they where ubuntu repos. i have installed xfce, lxde, and openbox. all of which are ubuntu repos.
[12:48] <ikonia> hylian: you have installed a package that contains debian grub logos
[12:48] <ikonia> plouffe: what's wrong with your machine, why are you using recovery mode ?
[12:48] <plouffe> because the upgrade to 11.10 totally bombed it
[12:49] <ikonia> plouffe: ok - so why are you using the recovery mode, what's the problem
[12:49] <hylian> ikonia, ok. i was just wondering why they where installed. why would they be added to one of those desktop environments?
[12:49] <ikonia> hylian: look in the package manager for installed grub/image packages
[12:49] <plouffe> ikonia, I cannot boot into the desktop, it stops with a blinking screen
[12:50] <plouffe> ikonia, I don't know what's wrong with it, but i need internet access so I can at least access the repositories
[12:50] <Marina92>  JoIN in my page on facebook
[12:50] <Marina92> http://www.facebook.com/BackTrack.Fan.Page
[12:50] <ikonia> plouffe: how do you know you need repos until you know what's wrong with it ?
[12:50] <yeats> hylian: maybe installing the environments directly rather than via *buntu-desktop packages brings in some unexpected Debian defaults?
[12:51] <lobster_> yeats: thank you very much for your help. btw, file system > host shows C driver of windows
[12:51] <yeats> lobster_: great!  happy to help
[12:51] <lobster_> thanks :)
[12:51] <plouffe> ikonia, there are instructions on the net that require it, I don't know if it works until I tried. Are you willing and able to help me setup the internet connection or nto?
[12:52] <ikonia> plouffe: I'd advise you to use an ethernet connection as if you don't know at this stage what modules your wirless card needs, it's going to be a reasonable ammount of effort
[12:52] <ikonia> plouffe: the ethernet setup would be only a few small commands
[12:52] <plouffe> ikonia, as I said that is not an option now
[12:52] <hylian> yeats, ahh yes. I don't need all the extra programs using the desktop packages provides, so i did install the vanilla versions. hmmm. it's not that i hate the grub2 background. but i didn't ask for it, so it shouldnt be automatic. oh well.
[12:52] <ikonia> plouffe: why ?
[12:52] <plouffe> ikonia, I know that, but I don't have ethernet access now
[12:53] <ikonia> plouffe: ok - so I'm assuming you'll have ethernet access very soon, I'd suggest using that
[12:53] <plouffe> ikonia, that is an idiotic assumption, and it is wrong, but I will assume you are not willing to help me at this point, so I'll stop this conversation
[12:54] <ikonia> plouffe: fair enough. However before you call me an idiot again - remember, I'm not the one asking how to do this, I'm the one who knows how to do it
[12:55] <plouffe> ikonia, at this point you have not been of any help, if you are able to do it is unproven, all I can go by is the idiotic assumptions you made, which warrants calling oyu an idiot
[12:55] <Dr_willis> 'how to not get others to want to help you on irc'
[12:55] <ikonia> plouffe: ok, best of luck, be warned if you call anyone else names in this channel you will be removed.
[12:55] <mcloy> how to fsck on reboot? i have tried sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now but that doesnt checks comprehensively.   when i sudo fsck -n  . there are alot of errors .
[12:55] <hylian> yeats, a little digging in the direction you suggested, and yes, it's from installing xfce4. here's a blog about it: http://blog.rah.org/2011/11/ubuntu-branding-fail.html
[12:56] <Dr_willis> I still need to track down a new wireless card (usb or pci) for my linux boxs
[12:56] <yeats> hylian: huh - interesting
[12:56] <Dr_willis> !fsck
[12:56] <mcloy> i have also tried live cd. it doent gives any errors. but fsck -n does
[12:56] <plouffe> ikonia, I will just ignore you from now on
[12:56] <hylian> yeats, any ideas on how to remove it? it's pretty, but I like fast boot times.
[12:56] <ikonia> plouffe: that would be unwise, but you are welcome to do so, just please keep in mind the warning I've just given you
[12:57] <plouffe> ikonia, this has nothinng to do with anyone else, this is all about you. No one else was involved in the nonsensical statements you made
[12:58] <mcloy> Dr_willis,  see my text again.  how to fsck on reboot? i have tried sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now but that doesnt checks comprehensively.   when i sudo fsck -n  . there are alot of errors .  i have also tried live cd. it doent gives any errors. but fsck -n does
[12:58] <ikonia> mcloy: it does do a proper check, you'll need to look at the errors it's missed and why
[12:58] <Dr_willis> mcloy,  if the fs is messed up. I tend to use a live cd and fsck by hand.
[12:58] <ikonia> mcloy: it's often worth booting from remote media, as fsck won't be able to fix certain things from the file system it's running in, even from boot
[12:59] <OerHeks> plouffe, please stop the ranting. if you do not understand any solution given, just ask.
[12:59] <Dr_willis> if the 2 fscks are showing differnt errors. then .. thats not a good sign. :)
[12:59] <hylian> yeats, i think i found the "off" switch, thanks
[12:59] <yeats> hylian: great!
[12:59] <mcloy> ikonia,  no. when i fsck -n manually after that. it gives errors  Inode bitmap differences:  Block bitmap differences: Inode 293235 was part of the orphaned inode list.  IGNORED.
[13:00] <ikonia> mcloy: correct, that measn it didn't fix something because it couldn't, not because it didn't do a proper check
[13:00] <plouffe> OerHeks, what solution are you referring to?
[13:00] <Dr_willis> im not even sure what fsck -n does...
[13:00] <mcloy> Dr_willis,  you didnt read the full message. i stated that i have used live cd
[13:00] <ikonia> Dr_willis: basically a read only check
[13:00] <ikonia> Dr_willis: "no auto fix"
[13:00] <ikonia> mcloy: so what happens when you use a livecd to check
[13:00] <mcloy> ikonia,  ^
[13:00] <Dr_willis> so a read only check.. doesent really fix anything.. so.. why bother?
[13:00] <mcloy> ikonia,  clean.
[13:00] <ikonia> Dr_willis: find out if you have any problems,
[13:00] <hylian> ikonia, we found the culprit. a ubuntu repo. installing xfce4 does it. and it is an official ubuntu repo.
[13:01] <Dr_willis> aparently it showed a problem. :)
[13:01] <ikonia> !info xfce
[13:01] <ikonia> !info xfce-desktop
[13:01] <yeats> !info xfce4
[13:01] <mcloy> ikonia,  it gives no errors on -fv
[13:01] <chris_> whatsup everyone
[13:01] <ikonia> mcloy: ok - so you've checked from a livecd and it's showing no errors, that means your file system is clean, so apologies if I'm missing the problem
[13:02] <ikonia> hylian: so you installed it from the universe repo and it installed debian themes ?
[13:02] <ikonia> or debian grub images
[13:03] <mcloy> ikonia, Dr_willis  touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r  gives not errors. if live cd   fsck doesnt give errors. then why fsck -n gives so many errors ?
[13:03] <chris_> having trouble with my wireless running linux
[13:03] <ikonia> mcloy: because you're running it on a mounted file system
[13:03] <mcloy> ikonia,  it should not give errors despite that
[13:03] <ikonia> mcloy: it can do
[13:03] <melvincv> How do I perform a file system check on an LVM setup having a volume group and two logical volumes?
[13:03] <mcloy> ikonia,  why so
[13:04] <ikonia> mcloy: because it's mounted and in use
[13:04] <mcloy> ikonia,  hmm..
[13:04] <ikonia> melvincv: treat it the same as any other device,
[13:04] <mcloy> ok
[13:04] <mcloy> ikonia,  thx
[13:04] <yeats> melvincv: '[sudo] fsck /dev/mapper/name-of-logical-volume'?
[13:05] <gask8er> i didnt see the setting in bios
[13:05] <gask8er> for some reason, now the grub doesnt countdown. before it told how many seconds had left to decide
[13:07] <gask8er> i may just have to remove & re-install ubuntu
[13:07] <llutz_> gask8er: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" make sure it installs to /dev/sda
[13:08] <troy_> why is it that torrent clients in linux dont like my network but they work perfectly fine in windows.. for instance deluge i cant seem to get anyone to connect to me?
[13:08] <melvincv> ikonia, yeats, and if the OS has crashed, how do I do it from a Ubuntu Live CD?
[13:09] <ikonia> melvincv: why do you need to ?
[13:09] <yeats> melvincv: you will probably need to install the lvm2 package while booted into the live cd
[13:09] <ikonia> melvincv: it should auto check on boot,
[13:10] <Juggernaut> Hello
[13:10] <Juggernaut> I just installed ubuntu on my virtualbox, and I'm trying to figure out why the terminal keeps changing its background
[13:10] <Juggernaut> http://i.imgur.com/CPAim.png
[13:10] <ubu64> troy_: different port?
[13:10] <Skript_k> listchans
[13:10] <gask8er> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[13:10] <Juggernaut> I change it to black, and it changes back to white. I can't figure out why
[13:10] <Juggernaut> Anyone have any ideas?
[13:10] <melvincv> ikonia, yeats, I'm checking a failed fedora installation from an Ubuntu live cd.
[13:11] <gask8er> it kinda froze midway of doing the process so i closed terminal & retried
[13:11] <ivap2> I am on a very low bandwidth downloaded ubuntu-12.04-beta1-alternate-amd64.iso to almost 96 % . Now I cant resume the download because most of mirrors dont have it
[13:11] <ivap2> any idea where mirrors keep beta1 ?
[13:11] <lobster_> I have just installed ubuntu 11.10 and it works very slow, even windows 7 works faster than the ubuntu that I have. is it normal?
[13:11] <ikonia> melvincv: shouldn't need to "check it" when you boot, you'll be told there is a problem and it will auto fsck if there is
[13:12] <troy_> ubu64: perhaps but i never had to forward any ports on my router in windows.. know what i mean
[13:13] <melvincv> ikonia, fedora won't boot after a power (and UPS) failure
[13:13] <Dr_willis> lobster_,  you did install any needed video card drivers for your video?
[13:13] <ikonia> melvincv: ok so you need to look at the error and resolve it,
[13:13] <ubu64> troy_: your router probably has to forward ports, maybe you use upnp in windows. Transmission has testing port feature.
[13:13] <ivap2> So anyone here knows where I can find 12.04 beta1 ?
[13:14] <Dr_willis> ivan``,  beta2 is out.
[13:14] <ikonia> ivap2: read the topic in #ubuntu+1 for the current release info
[13:14] <Dr_willis> ivan``,  ask in #ubuntu+1
[13:14] <troy_> ubu64: i guess utorrent used upnp in windows not quite familiar with it. also im using Deluge atm.
[13:14] <gask8er> llutz_  sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
[13:14] <gask8er> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[13:14] <ubu64> troy_: without port forwarding you are hidden behind your router NAT
[13:14] <lobster_> Dr_willis: I just did update via ubuntu software center. does ubuntu software center also update drivers?
[13:14] <Dr_willis> lobster_,  if you had them installed it would.
[13:15] <melvincv> ikonia, Boot messages show all service starts as 'failed'. So I'd like to check for a corrupted fs.
[13:15] <ikonia> melvincv: that won't be the issue
[13:15] <ikonia> melvincv: the guys in #fedora will be able to walk you through debugging it
[13:15] <AbyssGer> hello, i have a start/stop-script for a server and with the arg status it gives me 3 possible answers 'online','offline' and 'crashed'. in case of the last 2 answers i want to call the same script with the start argument and all this in a single cronjob. is anyone kind enough to help me through this?
[13:16] <troy_> ubu64: i guess ill forward some ports, think i should stick with certain ports?
[13:17] <ivap2> ikonia: I understand that beta 2 is released but as I have mentioned earlier I am on low bandwidth and have downloaded almost 90 % of the file . A mirror anywhere which keeps the file is all I need to finish the download
[13:17] <llutz_> gask8er: sudo pkill debconf
[13:17] <ikonia> ivap2: then if you read the topic in #ubuntu+1 as I've told you, you'll get the info
[13:17] <lou_> how do you like ubuntu12.04 bata2?
[13:17] <AbyssGer> example format: /home/server/startscript.sh (start|stop|restart|status)
[13:18] <ikonia> lou_: discussion on 12.04 in #ubuntu+1 channel please
[13:18] <raydog45000> What is the ubuntu channel for beginners?
[13:18] <gask8er> llutz_ ok i did that
[13:18] <melvincv> I reported many bugs in  beta 1, and I'm happy to see some of them fixed :)
[13:18] <llutz_> gask8er: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc"
[13:18] <Juggernaut> Uh. Could someone help me with this: http://i.imgur.com/CPAim.png <--- It keeps reverting to a white background
[13:18] <OerHeks> raydog45000, #Ubuntu-beginners
[13:19] <gask8er> llutz_ still get same error message
[13:19] <ubu64> troy_: use some high number, there are standard torrent ports too, I'm not sure if it matters which ones you use. They go till about 65000 I think.
[13:19] <Foxandxss> hey guys
[13:19] <ubu64> troy_: ports lower than 1024 are system reserved in linux I believe
[13:20] <troy_> ubu64: and it doesnt matter for other people who are trying to connect to me in what ports i use correct?
[13:20] <Foxandxss> I use a java app and the menu is unable to work with unity bar, so it appears in the app itself, but black and you can't read the labels on the menu bewcause the labels are dark gray
[13:20] <Honvai> Can I have a program that activates a second pointer so that I can use the editors quickly?
[13:20] <Foxandxss> any way to change the menu color (just menu) or moving the bar to unity?
[13:20] <Honvai> Hello
[13:20] <lou_> melvincv, I'ma real bewbie and I am moving slowly, wish I new the mediam better
[13:20] <ubu64> not sure troy_ I've had no problems
[13:21] <troy_> alright right on thanks ubu64
[13:21] <ubu64> np
[13:21] <AbyssGer> no one have a solution..... hmm thanks anyway. does anyone knows a channel on this irc server where i might get help with shellscripting?

[13:21] <gask8er> it only took me an hour to install ubuntu. ill just re-install & see if that fixes it
[13:22] <user1595> hi! Anybody think that how can i remove my ubuntu 12.04 and install ubuntu 10.10 or 10.04?
[13:22] <ubu64> lobster_: should be, isn't there a force option?

[13:38] <ubilover> I only have one question in here
[13:38] <ubilover> can I skip over some sectors, and write data only to some specific sectors?
[13:38] <ubilover> so I have 554 bad sectors
[13:38] <ubilover> can I skip them?
[13:38] <lobster_> ubuntu 11.10 is very annoying
[13:38] <lobster_> 10.04 is much better
[13:39] <ubilover> lobster_ true indeed.
[13:39] <ubilover> I loved my gnome
[13:39] <lobster_> yeah
[13:39] <lobster_> it was easier to navigate
[13:39] <yeats> !ot
[13:39] <lobster_> and find anything u need
[13:39] <zombifier> GNOME Classic is still there
[13:39] <lobster_> how can I use it?
[13:39] <ubilover> Is it possible? (skip over bad sectors)
[13:40] <ubilover> lobster_ just disable unity
[13:40] <ubilover> and get the panel
[13:40] <lobster_> how do I do it?
[13:40] <zombifier> sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
[13:40] <lobster_> I am new in lunux :)
[13:40] <yeats> !nounity | lobster_
[13:40] <lobster_> thanks
[13:40] <mydogsnameisrudy> just logot switch to classic
[13:40] <zombifier> It's more stable in 12.04
[13:40] <ubilover> http://askubuntu.com/questions/66557/just-upgraded-to-11-10-how-do-i-disable-unity @lobster_

[13:42] <erkan^> iemand je hoe stel ik als Nederlandstalig in --> firefox -ProfileManager ? die is nu engelstalig
[13:43] <jim87410> test
[13:44] <fidel> erkan^: keep it english inhere - or jump to the .nl channel in case you prefer your native language
[13:44] <fidel> guessing thats dutch
[13:45] <ubilover> what is the tool that would show me what partitions and what disks I have on my computer from the terminal? k thanks
[13:45] <gr33n7007h> fdisk -l
[13:45] <zombifier> sudo fdisk -l
[13:46] <jim87410> ubilover^   use df command
[13:47] <MrElendig> df only shows mounted partitions
[13:47] <zykotick9> ubilover: if you happen to be looking for UUIDs, then "sudo blkid" is what you want
[13:53] <ibiwor> Hello! I by mistake changed permission for /etc as user:user. And I don't know for sure if it was root:root before. Is it possible to revert back to correct permissions for /etc and how will the current permissions affect?
[13:53] <Gnea> ibiwor: was it just for /etc itself or did it change for all files and subdirs in /etc?
[13:54] <troy_> if im port forwarding for both download and upload for torrent client. if it is just upload is it tcp or udp?
[13:54] <ibiwor> Gnea: It was -Rv so recursive
[13:54] <zombifier> ibiwor: sudo chown -R root:root /etc
[13:55] <koeldi> hello
[13:55] <koeldi> ubuntu irc channel?
[13:55] <ibiwor> zombifier: Yes, I can do that but I don't think its root:root for all... there are some files/folders which take root:user
[13:55] <Gnea> ibiwor: what zombifier said, but any previously non-root owned files/dirs will now be owned by root.... it's /etc, so there couldn't have been more than a handful
[13:56] <zykotick9> ibiwor: zombifier's suggestion isn't all that great - not everything is root:root...
[13:56] <^jude^> can anyone help me get firefox to use kmail for mailto and "Send link..." on 11.10 - the about:config tweaks I find on google don't work
[13:56] <ibiwor> zykotick9: Yes..
[13:56] <Gnea> ibiwor: OTOH, it probably won't matter
[13:57] <koeldi> I have installed xubuntu in the following manner: I downloaded xubuntu packages from synaptic to my ubuntu distro, and then executed the fist command from http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[13:57] <Gnea> ibiwor: your /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow should be root:shadow
[13:57] <koeldi> now I cannot use any of it. can anyone help me fix it from grub or terminal?
[13:57] <bluebird> im a 2 day old ubuntu user and i want to set xp as default in this dual boot  system.im using burg now .how can i do it?
[13:58] <ibiwor> Gnea: Ok, I'm doing sudo chown -R root:root /etc for it and will change to root:shadow for thw specific you mentioned
[13:58] <Gnea> ibiwor: awesome
[13:59] <Gnea> ibiwor: /etc/at.deny should be root.daemon
[13:59] <Gnea> ibiwor: also, root.daemon = root:daemon
[14:00] <ibiwor> Gnea: Well, I can do a installation on vm and change accordingly individually but I'm asking for a way to fix it properly and less time consuming
[14:01] <Gnea> ibiwor: yes, that's a good idea... of all of the files on my system (I'm on 11.04, but /etc is rather portable), those are the ones in the first level of the directory that stand out
[14:01] <bluebird> im a 2 day old ubuntu user and i want to set xp as my default in the boot menu.im using burg now.
[14:01] <ibiwor> Gnea: /etc is portable?! User passwords which are stored in /etc are different from system to system
[14:02] <Boreeas> bluebird: You shouldn't be using a computer at your age!
[14:02] <Gnea> ibiwor: well, if you want to get nitty-gritty... but yes, for the most part, at least as far as permissions go, yes, /etc is portable
[14:02] <paulus68> hi, how do you create a user who is only allowed to connect to my server without any other authorisations?
[14:02] <winmike> hi
[14:03] <Gnea> Boreeas: bad answer
[14:03] <winmike> i'm new to ubuntu. how can i install java 1.6.X? whats the name of the package?

[14:03] <bluebird> the default is set as 4 and xp is the 5th one
[14:03] <Gnea> !java | winmike
[14:04] <winmike> Gnea, yes - JRE
[14:04] <koeldi> w: not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[14:04] <koeldi> E: unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
[14:04] <winmike> Gnea, whats the name of the JRE package?
[14:04] <koeldi> E: the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
[14:04] <Gnea> winmike: if you can open a web browser, that URL will tell you which package name
[14:04] <koeldi> I get those messages as root in a terminal I cannot access xubuntu
[14:04] <koeldi> can anyone suggest a way out?
[14:05] <Gnea> koeldi: then something is already installing or removing a package
[14:05] <Gnea> koeldi: probably the update-manager is running
[14:05] <bluebird> pangolin , i went through lot of forum and did what they say but it didnt fix the problem
[14:06] <koeldi> Gnea: how do I check what the update manager is doing from a terminal?
[14:06] <paulus68> hi, how do you create a user who is only allowed to connect to my server without any other authorisations? purpose is to use my server to setup a http socks5 proxy using putty
[14:06] <Gnea> koeldi: ps axf | grep update-manager
[14:07] <koeldi> Gnea: 478 tty1   S+   0:00          \_ grep --color=auto update-manager
[14:08] <jaison1> I have a swap partition in my harddisk. But I forgot to select it during the installation of ubuntu.   Now the "hibernate" option is not enabled in the settings on what the laptop should do when battery runs too low.   How do I add the swap which is already there to the new ubuntu installation?
[14:08] <Gnea> koeldi: hmmm.... can you pastebin the entirety of ps axf?
[14:08] <erkan^> hello , do someone know how can I change a language --> ProfileManager for Firefox and Thunderbird?
[14:08] <koeldi> Gnea: no I cannot pastebin: im writting from a different computer: my linux craptop is down...
[14:08] <bastidrazor> !swap | jaison1
[14:08] <bastidrazor> jaison1: that link will tell you how to add it to your fstab
[14:09] <winmike> Gnea, hmm. java 6 = 1.6?
[14:09] <koeldi> Gnea: is there a kill command for this update manager from terminal?
[14:09] <Gnea> winmike: apt-cache show packagename  <-- look through the output of that, it will tell you the version
[14:10] <Gnea> koeldi: well, update-manager is not what's keeping things held up, it's something else... try this:  sudo apt-get -f install
[14:10] <bluebird> hey anyone please help
[14:11] <Gnea> !anyone
[14:11] <kinglargo> hi
[14:11] <kinglargo> hi

[14:13] <winmike> Gnea, last question: open-jdk is ok or is it better to use oracle for development?
[14:14] <Gnea> winmike: openjdk is fine
[14:14] <Boreeas> Oracle
[14:14] <winmike> Gnea, thx
[14:14] <Gnea> winmike: cheers
[14:14] <Boreeas> sun-java all the way :P
[14:14] <nutzer> hi
[14:14] <koeldi> Gnea: sudo apt-get -f install gives the same results: Not using locking, unable to write to var/cache/apt/ and package lists or status files could not be parsed or opened
[14:14] <Gnea> Boreeas: are you stating that seriously or trolling?
[14:15] <Gnea> koeldi: okay, you're in some form of rescue mode, not normal mode, so package installation won't work
[14:15] <Boreeas> Gnea: Actually, no, I'm serious.
[14:16] <Gnea> Boreeas: ah, well sun java can be useful for some programs
[14:16] <paulus68> how do you create a user who is only allowed to connect to my server without any other authorisations? purpose is to use my server to setup a http socks5 proxy using putty
[14:16] <koeldi> Gnea: would becoming jimmy instead of root mean any difference?
[14:16] <Gnea> koeldi: not really, but why did you boot into recovery mode?
[14:17] <winmike> ubuntu says "Version: 6b20-1.9.13-0ubuntu1~10.04.1" for openjdk-6-jre. this is java 1.6.X?
[14:17] <Gnea> winmike: looks like 1.9 to me
[14:17] <winmike> shit :-S i need 1.6.X
[14:18] <nutzer> where can i see my ubuntu version ?
[14:18] <Gnea> winmike: please don't use profanity here, it's a family channel.
[14:18] <tyler_d> !language
[14:18] <koeldi> Gnea: cause normal boot gives a blank screen with messages tiling so fast I cannot read any
[14:18] <Gnea> nutzer: lsb_release -a
[14:19] <Gnea> koeldi: then you need to edit the boot sequence for the first selection to NOT include the words: "quiet nosplash"
[14:19] <tyler_d> koeldi: sorry, coming in late here, is this pre-grub or post grub?
[14:19] <ibiwor> Hello! How to create users specifically for ssh so that they don't appear in login screen?
[14:19] <Gnea> winmike: why do you need 1.6?
[14:19] <koeldi> tyler_d: post grub
[14:19] <winmike> Gnea, its for a university project and they said we need to use 1.6.X ... i'm not familar with java - i'm from the .NET world
[14:20] <Zoffix> Hey. I have a second drive that during system install I setup to be mounted as /media/TeraDrive.. It works fine, but only as a root user. How do I setup so my regular user can use it? I even did the chown zoffix:zoffix /mediaTeraDrive and did chmod 777 on it, but the Create New File/Folder context menues in nautilus are still greyed out. What gives?
[14:20] <tyler_d> koeldi: can you pastbin your init line from grub plz
[14:20] <Boreeas> Seeing as there is no Java 1.9, I'd say you got the right build, winmike
[14:20] <Xabster2> is there a way to re-install your ubuntu 11.10 in a smart way? Like windows 8's promised "reset" feature?
[14:20] <Gnea> winmike: okay, then try sun-java6-jre
[14:20] <Gnea> winmike: also, try:  java -version
[14:20] <Xabster2> i installed shitloads of stuff and changed a lot that i don't know how to undo
[14:20] <bazhang> Xabster2, no cursing here
[14:20] <Gnea> !language | Xabster2
[14:21] <Xabster2> oh come on
[14:21] <tyler_d> Xabster !language
[14:21] <koeldi> tyler_d: I may write it if its not too long: im writting from a different computer
[14:21] <Dr_willis> and the actual support question is......
[14:21] <Gnea> Xabster2: attitude, check it.
[14:21] <bazhang> Xabster2, keep the cursing out of here
[14:21] <jaison1> bastidrazor, The swap line is already present in that fstab file but the hibernate option is not enabled.. :(
[14:21] <tyler_d> koeldi: ahh
[14:21] <Xabster2> i installed buttloads of stuff and changed a lot that i don't know how to undo
[14:21] <Xabster2> that ok?
[14:21] <tyler_d> koeldi: you have tried holding the left shift on boot
[14:21] <bazhang> Xabster2, no reset, no
[14:21] <Zoffix> Errr.. I'm dumb.. The default colour scheme on this system displays items with sub-stuff in them the same way as greyed out items are displayed on my old system... Well.
[14:22] <tyler_d> Xabster2: not swearing is not that large of a request that you should need to be offended by being asked to simply not do it?
[14:22] <tyler_d> Xabster2: moving on.
[14:22] <paulus68> how do I create a user that is only allowed to login to my server without any other authorisations? meaning no home and not able to see anything else on my server this user should only be able to use it as a socks5 proxy?
[14:23] <koeldi> tyler_d: that redirects to grub...
[14:23] <bazhang> Xabster2, why are you crossposting here and in #ubuntu+1 ? what version of ubuntu are you on
[14:23] <Xabster2> I'm not in any way in disagreement with not swearing, but i do not think that shit and butt are swear words
[14:23] <tyler_d> well now you know. lol
[14:24] <Gnea> tyler_d: not sure that was really necessary... he *did* make a change
[14:24] <Dr_willis> even my 3 yr old grandson says those are bad words.........
[14:24] <tyler_d> Gnea: I realize that, and thats why i said moving on
[14:25] <Gnea> "butt" is not really a bad word... change it to a three-letter word, though..
[14:25] <Dr_willis> Tub?
[14:25] <Gnea> Angle-Side-Side
[14:25] <Gnea> ;)
[14:25] <marsfligth> Does someone tested 'Cinnamon' for Ubuntu? If yes, is it stable and tweakable?
[14:25] <pangolin> How about we stop discussing what we think is not a bad word and get back to helping people
[14:25] <nutzer> why it doesn´t work youtube or other site with videos on net-book ? a few months ago youtube it was working but now the videos doent charge . is mz netbook virused or what ?
[14:25] <jaison1> The launcher has numbers on each icon..  and it won't autohide now like it used to be.  How do I remove the numbers?
[14:25] <lrpcukko> hello there !!!
[14:25] <Gnea> pangolin: by just doing it.
[14:26] <paulus68> how do I create a user that is only allowed to login to my server without any other authorisations? meaning no home and not able to see anything else on my server this user should only be able to use it as a socks5 proxy?
[14:26] <lrpcukko> does anyone here can do a favor to me ?
[14:26] <CharminTheMoose> I changed my DM from GDM to slim, and now jackd refuses to start, telling me to change my @audio rtprio line in /etc/security/limits.conf, what's up with this?
[14:26] <yappy> hi, bye bye bye!
[14:26] <auraka_> does anyone have a good recommendation for a good netbook that runs ubuntu
[14:26] <Gnea> auraka_: any eeepc
[14:26] <tyler_d> paulus68: are you talking about jailing a user?
[14:26] <nutzer> why it doesn´t work youtube or other site with videos on net-book ? a few months ago youtube it was working but now the videos doent charge . is my netbook virused or what ?
[14:26] <paulus68> tyler_d: no
[14:26] <auraka_> Gnea, do they have anything new out
[14:26] <lrpcukko> i need to townload Oracle Coherence for C++ Version 3.7.1 for 32b and 64 , does anyone can download it for me an share it ?
[14:27] <jaison1> !patience | nutzer
[14:27] <Gnea> auraka_: they have a website
[14:27] <Boreeas> lrpcukko: Why don't you download it yourself?
[14:27] <tyler_d> auraka_: see my pm
[14:27] <paulus68> tyler_d: just want to create a user which just needs to have access to my server in terms of using it as a proxy on his side
[14:27] <lrpcukko> mny coutry is banned from the server
[14:28] <auraka_> Gnea, ya...but nothing with 2 gb ram
[14:28] <tyler_d> paulus68: are you using nginx?
[14:28] <lrpcukko> tyler_d:  see im from Cuba
[14:28] <tyler_d> paulus68: should ask, what proxy app are you using?
[14:29] <paulus68> tyler_d: in fact this user has so many restrictions internet wise and the only way to do this is setting up an http socks 5 proxy using Putty
[14:29] <nutzer> what browser are you using ?
[14:29] <DoctorD> you can buy a proxy server and you're done
[14:29] <papasmurf> hello
[14:29] <nutzer> hi
[14:29] <DoctorD> or a VPN - at HMA it's 11$/month
[14:29] <tyler_d> paulus68: install squid and set it to listen on a non-standard port
[14:29] <papasmurf> hi
[14:30] <tyler_d> paulus68: then said "user" doesn't need to have any sort of strange security hole to use it
[14:30]  * lrpcukko does anyone can give me a hand on this plzz?
[14:30] <tyler_d> lrpcukko | !question
[14:30] <papasmurf> i have a problem with my Ubuntu desktop when booting up
[14:30] <papasmurf> when i start-up Ubuntu weird characters appears "^]^]^]^]^]^]^]^]^]", if i press any "key" of the keyboard i just go on to the login screen, otherwise the system crashes
[14:30] <Gnea> auraka_: mine came with 1gb, but can upgrade to 2gb
[14:30] <papasmurf> Someone has any idea??
[14:31] <bazhang> lrpcukko, what does that have to do with ubuntu support?
[14:31] <tyler_d> papasmurf: that would appear to be a ctrl-character, try a different non-usb keyboard, or a diff port
[14:31] <lrpcukko> !question  i need to download Oracle Coherence for C++ Version 3.7.1 for 32b and 64 , does anyone can download it for me an share it ?
[14:31] <papasmurf> tyler_d,   Thanks
[14:31] <bluebird> okay
[14:31] <papasmurf> tyler_d,  yes it is indeed "Esc" key i think
[14:31] <lrpcukko> bazhang:   i have the intention to install a cluster in ubuntu server and i need coherence
[14:32] <paulus68> tyler_d: no need to this, I know it's working since I used the same type of connection setup before for my own usage, however this is not the case anymore and I just want to know how to create a new user without any homedir and other standard user permissions
[14:32] <papasmurf> tyler_d,  my keyboard does not seem to have any "jammed" key
[14:32] <bazhang> lrpcukko, wrong channel. please dont ask any further
[14:32] <nutzer> this is a chat for smart guys ? :))
[14:33] <paulus68> tyler_d: example of this method is mentioned here http://hidefinder.com/90/diy-socks5-vpn-putty.html
[14:33] <tyler_d> paulus68:  useradd -g ftpusers -d /dev/null fred
[14:33] <ikonia> no
[14:33] <ikonia> a directory should not be /dev/null
[14:33] <koeldi> I cannot boot ubuntu normally: how do I access a terminal with read and write privileges? with grub?
[14:33] <ikonia> you should not use that
[14:33] <ikonia> just don't use -d and it will default to "/" as a home directory
[14:34] <nutzer> i can use a normal usb memory stick for intaling another ubuntu version
[14:34] <nutzer> ?
[14:34] <tyler_d> papasmurf: ok, well it is some type of invalid input is my best guess, and being that a keyboard is a standard input method :( that is where I would start.
[14:34] <ikonia> !install | nutzer
[14:34] <ikonia> nutzer: that link explains how to
[14:34] <paulus68> ikonia: so just useradd "remoteuser" and I should be fine?
[14:35] <ikonia> paulus68: that will create a user yes, you need to use flags to create any options you DO want
[14:35] <papasmurf> tyler_d,  thanks a lot tyler, yes my desktop is a sony laptop indeed, shall i have a look to the BIOS?
[14:35] <paulus68> ikonia: like I said he should just be allowed to surf the net and nothing else
[14:36] <ikonia> paulus68: that has nothing to do with what you've just said
[14:36] <nutzer> i have a cd with ubuntu , but my netbook doent have a place for cd :)
[14:36] <tyler_d> papasmurf: in that case, I would check the function-inputs on your keyboard.... sometimes my "mouse-on/off" gets toggled with similair behavior; so try a few of those on boot
[14:36] <bazhang> nutzer, use unetbootin to put the iso on flash key
[14:36] <ikonia> nutzer: yes, the link I sent you tells you how to use a USB
[14:37] <paulus68> ikonia: you lost me here
[14:37] <caB00T> I have installed backtrack, ubuntu based disto, side by side with Windows. How do I remove it, I already installed the new version but don't know how to remove the old one? :)
[14:37] <CharminTheMoose> I changed my DM from GDM to slim, and now jackd refuses to start, telling me to change my @audio rtprio line in /etc/security/limits.conf, what's up with this?
[14:37] <ikonia> nutzer: if you read the link rather than repeating the question, you'll find an answer
[14:37] <ikonia> caB00T: #backtrack-linux is the channel for backtrack support
[14:37] <ikonia> paulus68: adding a user with no groups is no way to lilmit what a user can/cannot do
[14:38] <papasmurf> tyler_d Thanks for your help, i guess it is definitely a keyboard problem, nothing to do with Ubuntu
[14:39] <caB00T> I asked, but they're to hardcore to answer such questions. It is an Ubuntu based distribution, it's exactly the same I reckon?
[14:39] <tyler_d> papasmurf: difficult to determine the situation; some cases its a serial input.. did you fix it?
[14:39] <ikonia> caB00T: sorry, we can't help
[14:39] <paulus68> ikonia: ok what should be the correct way to handle this in your opinion? the user is only allowed to connect to my server to setup this socks5 proxy using putty and shouldn't be allowed to do anything else
[14:39] <ikonia> caB00T: #backtrack-linux is the best place to ask
[14:39] <caB00T> Eh, ok.
[14:39] <caB00T> Tnx I guess.
[14:39] <caB00T> Or ok,
[14:39] <ikonia> caB00T: you've only waited 2 minutes for a response, and they have not responded so how you can say "they are two hardcore" is nonsense, wait for a response
[14:40] <caB00T> I asked such questions before.
[14:40] <caB00T> :)
[14:40] <yugnip> why do you want to run a distro where the community is too 'hardcore' to answer questions? caB00T
[14:41] <caB00T> Because it's good for the things I need it.
[14:41] <ikonia> paulus68: you're going to have quite a hard time doing that, as normally that sort of functionality is controlled with a tailored build, but I'd suggest looking at policy kit, looking at his desktop profile, manipulate those and you should be in the ball park
[14:41] <caB00T> I don't run things cuz of community... Oo
[14:41] <bluebird> i want to set xp as my default in boot and my burg file is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/908800/ and its already set as xp but not working
[14:41] <ikonia> caB00T: best of luck - but we won't support you here
[14:41] <papasmurf> tyler_d i'm going to switch off all keyboard modes and blocks and let reboot, let see what happens :) thanks
[14:41] <caB00T> Np.
[14:41] <yugnip> caB00T: you might rethink that
[14:41] <koeldi> okease clarify if autoremove destroys parts of programs that were not totally deleted
[14:41] <koeldi> crap
[14:41] <koeldi> please clarify if autoremove destroys parts of programs that were not totally deleted
[14:42] <tyler_d> I paulus68: I think my suggestion of squid is still a lot more direct and more efficient!
[14:42] <caB00T> yugnip, if you have some constructive intel pm me, I will always listen. :)
[14:42] <koeldi> Gnea: could it be that due to an uncomplete install I am getting this problem?
[14:42] <ikonia> tyler_d: how will squid limit him from doing anything but surfing the net ?
[14:42] <koeldi> Gnea: sorry: uncomplete UNinstall
[14:42] <silentz0r> hello, i am trying to send an email using sendmail to my gmail account, but the email never gets there.
[14:43] <ikonia> silentz0r: gmail is probably blocking you as you are on a home connection
[14:43] <tyler_d> ikonia: if paulus68 was to configure squid on a non-standard port and listening correctly, his friend could then use him as the proxy, without the security risk of someone ssh'ing to his server
[14:43] <ikonia> silentz0r: most ISP's will block mail servers running on home connections
[14:43] <silentz0r> ikonia: how can I test if it's a sendmail error or a gmail error?
[14:43] <ikonia> tyler_d: he doesn't want a proxy, he wants to limit the users account to web surfing only
[14:44] <tyler_d> ikonia: for the purpose of someone using his server as a proxy.
[14:44] <ikonia> silentz0r: it won't be a gmail error....if there was a gmail error, more people would be complaining that gmail is failing
[14:44] <Dr_willis> sounds like the job for a transparent proxy to me.
[14:44] <ikonia> paulus68: can you please confirm what you actually want, there seems to be a little confusion between a few of us
[14:44] <tyler_d> ikonia: unless I missed it, he has a friend that has blocked content from his country/region and is trying to allow him to use his server as a proxy
[14:45] <silentz0r> ikonia: what I mean is, how can I know if gmail is blocking the email or if the email is not sent at all
[14:45] <paulus68> ikonia: this is the setup that I want to setup at the users side in order to be allowed to surf the net http://hidefinder.com/90/diy-socks5-vpn-putty.html
[14:45] <tyler_d> silentz0r: best suggestion, try sending a mail from term while tailing the appropriate logs; as well try telneting to the appropriate port/server and go from there
[14:46] <Honvai> Hello. Can I have a program that activates a second mouse pointer so that I can use the editors quickly? Tell me when you are ready so that I can write a console: sudo apt-get install "second mouse pointer". Good afternoon and thank you.
[14:46] <paulus68> ikonia: the only restriction I want is to create a user that is not able to play arround on my server with this login credentials that I provide him to logon to my server
[14:46] <ikonia> silentz0r: just look in the mailq if the mail is still there or not
[14:46] <papasmurf> tyler_d,  nothing exactly the same problem
[14:46] <rumpe1> Honvai, two mouse pointers? you mean... working with two mice, one in each hand? o.O
[14:47] <ikonia> paulus68: right, so the user isn't going to login to your machine as a "user" or a "desktop" it's just going to point at your server as a proxy ?
[14:47] <silentz0r> ikonia: yep, both there. says Sender address rejected
[14:47] <tyler_d> papasmurf: what is plugged into this laptop? anything? have you tried a live cd/usb?
[14:47] <ikonia> silentz0r: there you go then "rejected"
[14:47] <paulus68> ikonia: correct
[14:47] <silentz0r> ikonia: so my ISP rejected them?
[14:47] <ikonia> paulus68: ok - so tyler_d's suggestion of squid is MUCH better
[14:48] <papasmurf> tyler_d,  yes i tried a live CD and same behaviour, i just have a USB Mouse connected
[14:48] <papasmurf> tyler_d,  the curious thing is that it only happens when booting up
[14:48] <ikonia> paulus68: 1.) use squid authentication so you don't actually need a "unix" user, just a squid user account 2.) this gives the user no access to your machine 3.) squid is a much better proxy server than a "socks 5" proxy setup as squid is a proper http server
[14:48] <ikonia> silentz0r: "rejected" is the key workd
[14:48] <silentz0r> ikonia: well how can I know who rejected them then :)
[14:49] <ikonia> silentz0r: it's not your ISP - it's gmail, you are on a home connection ( I assume ) most mail services will reject home connections running mail servers
[14:49] <Honvai> rumpel: yes one at each extremity
[14:49] <silentz0r> ikonia: huh, it actually went through
[14:49] <paulus68> ikonia: ok how do I set this up then since I am not familiar with squid to start with
[14:49] <silentz0r> ikonia: it's not in the queue anymore
[14:49] <mcloy> how  to have the fs's max mount count exceeded for it to auto fsck on reboot?
[14:50] <silentz0r> ikonia: however it's not in my spam/inbox either :s
[14:50] <ikonia> paulus68: lots of documentation on the web
[14:50] <ikonia> silentz0r: so it's probably going to the bounce address you setup
[14:50] <papasmurf> tyler_d, when using Windows 7 in a dual boot nothing happens
[14:50] <ikonia> silentz0r: as iot's being rejected
[14:50] <paulus68> ikonia: I understand do you have a good tutorial or time to guide me through the process?
[14:51] <ikonia> paulus68: I don't have a tutorial to hand as I know how to use it, however the squid main page is a good resource
[14:52] <paulus68> ikonia: ok the person that is going to use my server as a proxy server will be connected to my server using my dnsaccount or is this a problem
[14:54] <paulus68> ikonia: if I am at my office and I want to connect to my server I use xxxx.dyndns.org to connect to my server at home is this also possible when I use squid?
[14:55] <agoodm> in ubuntu whats the best way to connect to file shares on another linux box?
[14:56] <ikonia> paulus68: squid has nothing to do with your name resolution
[14:56] <agoodm> this is a laptop so the file shares wont be available on every network I connect to...
[14:57] <gdoteof> is it possible to turn off mouse scrolling just inside of terminals?  i am on a netbook and the touchpad often scrolls itself while i am typing
[14:58] <gdoteof> which, when i am inside of vim is really annoying
[14:58] <paulus68> ikonia: just trying to understand this how do you connect to my proxyserver to browse the net when I am at my office which is 50 miles away from home
[14:58] <ikonia> gdoteof: it's in the terminal preference
[14:58] <ikonia> paulus68: you point your browsers proxy setting at your machine, then just browse the web normally
[14:58] <mcloyDotCom> where max mount count of filesystem is stored ?
[14:59] <ikonia> mcloyDotCom: what are you referencing
[14:59] <paulus68> ikonia: meaning that I have to tell my browser to connect to xxxx.dyndns.org with username and password or am I totally missing something here
[14:59] <ikonia> paulus68: if that's what you want, yes
[14:59] <gdoteof> ikonia: you had me super excited, but i don't see that option
[15:00] <ikonia> gdoteof: its there...
[15:00] <gdoteof> i see only to choose where the scroll bar is or how many lines to scroll up
[15:00] <mcloyDotCom> ikonia, i want to have the fs's max mount count exceeded for it to auto fsck on reboot?
[15:00] <gdoteof> ikonia: inside of the edit->profile preferences?
[15:00] <ikonia> mcloyDotCom: tunefs
[15:00] <Honvai> Now it went right. Can I have a program that activates a 4 mouse pointer for each player so that we can use the editors quickly? Tell me when you are ready so that I can write a console: sudo apt-get install "second mouse pointer". Good afternoon and thank you.
[15:00] <llutz_> mcloyDotCom: man tune2fs
[15:01] <ikonia> gdoteof: not got it infront of me so can't check, but I know it's there as I've got a profiles with the bars disabled
[15:01] <mcloyDotCom> thx
[15:01] <gdoteof> hrm.  ok thats not exactly what i am looking.  i do see that option.  i was specifically juyst trying to block my *mouse* scrolling
[15:01] <gdoteof> but maybe that will solve it incidentally, thanks
[15:02] <paulus68> ikonia: sorry that I sound so stupid but I try to understand how someone that is miles away from my squid server is able to use it without using my dns account
[15:02] <ikonia> paulus68: your sns account has nothing to do with anything
[15:02] <gdoteof> ikonia: hrm.  nope, thanks though. disabling the scroll bar entirely still lets my "mouse wheel" scroll inside of vim
[15:03] <ikonia> gdoteof: not on my machine
[15:04] <paulus68> ikonia: I don't agree here since my IP adres is changing alot I use this dns account too make sure that I can connect to my machine without changing the ip adress all the time
[15:04] <ikonia> paulus68: then don't agree.....
[15:04] <ikonia> paulus68: bottom line is you open your browsers proxy settings, put your servers address in there, and it works
[15:04] <ikonia> paulus68: if you think additional config is needed - do it
[15:05] <ikonia> paulus68: is your "server" on a home internet connection ?
[15:05] <paulus68> ikonia: I appologise for my stupid remarks I just try to understand..  yes it is
[15:06] <ikonia> paulus68: you realise running a proxy for someone outside your connection to use will be very slow ?
[15:06] <paulus68> ikonia: he's in another timezone when I am asleep he's surfing ;)
[15:06] <ikonia> paulus68: yes, it will be very slow for him
[15:08] <paulus68> ikonia: I tested this with the socks5 proxy and it was going quiet good actually didn't have that much loss of speed at that moment
[15:08] <ikonia> paulus68: if you had this working with socks5 - why are you asking how to setup the sock5 proxy ?
[15:09] <Bunie> Hey guys, im having an issue lolz
[15:09] <paulus68> ikonia: since the user that was using the socks5 proxy was myself at that time, now I want to do this for someone else but want to have a restriction on what he can do on my machine
[15:10] <Bunie> my ubuntu stops loading (Things freeze up) And down a log i see "cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86"
[15:10] <Bunie> whats it mean and who do i murder to fix it lols
[15:10] <ikonia> paulus68: fair enough, I'd still suggest you use squid as that's what this application was used for and has caching and such enabled to help performance
[15:10] <ikonia> Bunie: please stop saying "lol" - there is nothing funny about what you are saying
[15:11] <hopeishep> how do I access a GUI (like gnome or kde or xubuntu) from recovery mode console as root?
[15:11] <Bunie> Sorry, i'm a light hearted person :P but i need help =[
[15:11] <Honvai> the second is a pointer to an IBM R40 laptop red Joystick
[15:11] <Bunie> Guess nobody will help me? =[
[15:12] <paulus68> ikonia: ok I will give it a go, however will you be able to explain how I need to configure the browser of this person so it can uses my squid server without my dns credentials
[15:13] <ikonia> paulus68: open browser, go to settings, go to proxy server type in your machines name or ip address, that's it
[15:15] <paulus68> ikonia: even when it's on a home network which is for this person miles away that's why I'm having a hardtime to understand how you achieve this without my dyndns account?
[15:15] <Honvai> sorry to bother you in this way but I did not find a program
[15:15] <ikonia> paulus68: dns is on the public for everyone to use
[15:16] <paulus68> ikonia: true but if my isp is changing the ip it will automaticly adapted on my dns account since it's configured like this on my router
[15:17] <ikonia> paulus68: so what's the problem
[15:17] <hopeishep> is ~/ home folder?
[15:17] <jack_^> hopeishep: yes
[15:17] <jack_^> $ echo ~
[15:17] <jack_^> /home/jack
[15:18] <paulus68> ikonia: therefore my dns account is a keyfigure in achieving this connection using squid or another proxy program
[15:18] <hopeishep> how do I delete .Xautorithy from there?
[15:18] <ikonia> yes, and you are using dydns that is PUBLIC
[15:18] <hopeishep> delete .Xautorithy   ?
[15:18] <jack_^> hopeishep: rm ~/.Xauthority
[15:19] <CharminTheMoose> I changed my DM from GDM to slim, and now jackd refuses to start, telling me to change my @audio rtprio line in /etc/security/limits.conf, what's up with this?
[15:20] <paulus68> ikonia: if I am getting this correctly I go to proxyserver settings in my browser and enter my xxxx.dyndns.org with the required port and the guy that wants to use my proxy is good to go ***praying that I understand this correcltly now****
[15:20] <jrib> CharminTheMoose: you should mention ubuntu version
[15:20] <CharminTheMoose> jrib, 11.04
[15:20] <ikonia> paulus68: that's it

[15:22] <hopeishep> being root, how do I turn back to be user?
[15:23] <sysc> su - user or "exit" if you su'd to get to root
[15:24] <rhizmoe> hopeishep: ^d
[15:24] <jrib> CharminTheMoose: so what does your limits.conf look like?
[15:24] <hopeishep> rhizmoe: Dont understand
[15:24] <xabster> Does 11.10 have some application installed by standard that controls my CPU fans? I've tried setting it to silent in the bios and that helps during boot, but as soon as Ubuntu is done loading it goes to turbomode which is quite high...
[15:25] <rhizmoe> i just installed 10.10, but it won't boot from the install drive unless i use the "boot from first hard disk" in the livecd menu. do i need to (re-)install grub, or have an mbr, or...?
[15:25] <oCean> hopeishep: ^d means <ctrl>+<d>, which does the same as "exit" in a shell
[15:26] <haz3lnut> rhizmoe: remove the cd first
[15:26] <rhizmoe> then i get a "no bootable devices detected"
[15:27] <Hyper_Sha> hi guys, is there any channel to discuss about android mobile problems in this server?
[15:27] <haz3lnut> rhizmoe: oh, is your bios set to boot from the first drive? is there a hard drive boot order in your bios?
[15:27] <rhizmoe> haz3lnut: there is!
[15:28] <rhizmoe> haz3lnut: and it is set to boot from the first drive (in the order, but it wouldn't boot with more drives connected either)
[15:28] <RaceCondition> given that my Ubuntu 11.10 install is almost brand new (just did updates after installation + installed VirtualBox), would upgrading it to 12.04 be considered (almost) as good as a clean/fresh install of 12.04?
[15:28] <zaid_h> sd
[15:28] <RaceCondition> I'm reading from the forums that a clean install is always better, but I guess the "age" of the system also makes a difference
[15:28] <haz3lnut> rhizmoe: well it should have installed the mbr for you
[15:28] <ratcheer> RaceCondition: No, it would not be the same.
[15:29] <kebap> a
[15:29] <ratcheer> RaceCondition: Do you have a separate /home partition?
[15:29] <kebap> HELLO
[15:29] <rhizmoe> haz3lnut: how can i reinstall? does it matter that when more drives were connected, another drive had sda, while this one is (was) sdb?
[15:29] <RaceCondition> ratcheer: hmm, okay, but in that case, can I do a fresh install of 12.04 without burning to disc or using a USB stick?
[15:30] <ratcheer> RaceCondition: I don't see how, but maybe others know something else.
[15:30] <rhizmoe> this isn't dual boot, btw
[15:30] <RaceCondition> ratcheer: k, thanks
[15:30] <Aserercoff> Hi! I have a big problem. I installed an AMD driver from System Settings>Additional Drivers. When I tried to reboot, it does not start! I am in Live CD mode. How to remove that driver from Recovery Mode (root)
[15:30] <haz3lnut> rhizmoe: maybe it put the mbr on the wrong drive, try setting that as the boot drive in bios.
[15:31] <rhizmoe> :/
[15:33] <Aserercoff> No idea? I need to know how to uninstall that driver from recovery console.
[15:35] <dashavoo> Hey, I installed some updates today and all of a sudden I can't use optical out for connecting my speakers, can anyone suggest which package I might have upgraded that did it?
[15:36] <jack_^> hopeishep: yes. typo
[15:37] <Xabster> My CPU fan is killing me, can anyone tell me how to set it to not be on max all the time?
[15:37] <ratcheer> Aserercoff: Maybe you can remove it with apt-get or aptitude
[15:38] <rhizmoe> /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!
[15:38] <rhizmoe> how does this happen in this day and age?
[15:38] <rhizmoe> is this a grub2 annoyance or something?
[15:38] <Aserercoff> ratcheer, can it be done from live cd_
[15:38] <Aserercoff> *?
[15:38] <ikonia> by you not reading the documentation
[15:38] <demoniccow> can someone help me with ndiswrapper? I have it installed and the driver installed but the network manager dosnt list any wireless networks
[15:38] <ikonia> rhizmoe: the gpt partition issues/limitation/fixes are quite well documented
[15:38] <rhizmoe> ikonia: awesome. which page?
[15:39] <ikonia> rhizmoe: how can it happen in this day and age that you are incapable of searching the internet for yourself rather than depending on someone to act as "google" for you
[15:39] <ratcheer> Aserercoff: I'm not sure how that would be any better than the recovery console
[15:39] <rhizmoe> i would think that the isntaller might throw up an error.
[15:39] <rhizmoe> ikonia: i'm googling just fine, but do continue.
[15:39] <ikonia> rhizmoe: the installer can deal with it I believe
[15:39] <hopeishep> im sorry, did anyone write a message to me?
[15:39] <ikonia> rhizmoe: your manual commands can't because they are wrong
[15:40] <rhizmoe> whew, well that's a load off my mind. i thought i was perfect!
[15:40] <Aserercoff> There is a command to reset the drivers of Ubuntu to default_
[15:40] <Aserercoff> *?
[15:41] <rhizmoe> in help channels i usually don't see this level of beratement
[15:41] <bazhang> rhizmoe, lets move on

[15:45]  * rhizmoe finds google results recommending installing LILO
[15:45] <ratcheer> rhizmoe: I use gpt with BIOS boot and grub2. It works very well.
[15:46] <CharminTheMoose> I changed my DM from GDM to slim on my 11.04 install, and now jackd refuses to start, telling me to change my @audio rtprio line in /etc/security/limits.conf, what's up with this?
[15:46] <rhizmoe> can this be simplified by not using BIOS boot, if even possible?
[15:46] <Sidewinder> !rootirc > Guest69828
[15:46] <felixd> I know it's not a place but I need language advice. "Development of design [or construction], industrial process and application analysis of the mobile measuring platform". Is that gramatically and logically correct?
[15:46] <felixd> Hi all :)
[15:47] <user82> hi i want to check the real size of my flash drive. does that somehow work? (i could not completely figure it out myself maybe dd if=/dev/urandom and md5sum somehow?)
[15:47] <bazhang> felixd, ##english NOT here
[15:47] <ratcheer> rhizmoe: I don't know. When I converted to gpt, the people helping me strongly recommended BIOS boot.
[15:47] <rhizmoe> gotcha, cool.
[15:47] <felixd> bazhang: thanks ! :D
[15:48] <ratcheer> rhizmoe: I can try to find the forum threads and give you a link, if you want. One of the guys helping me was the man who wrote the gdisk program.
[15:49] <rhizmoe> starting to read http://room118solutions.com/2011/02/08/ubuntu-10-10-server-grub-gpt-partitions/ but i'll be back if my nemesis Frustrate-o re-emerges
[15:49] <sparky-> user82: you suspect your flash drive is not reporting the actual size?
[15:49] <papasmurf> hi
[15:49] <ratcheer> rhizmoe: I recommend rodsbooks.com
[15:50] <rhizmoe> rod has a boo-boo on his lip
[15:51] <ratcheer> rhizmoe: ???
[15:51] <rhizmoe> just the picture on his page :)
[15:52] <ratcheer> Well, he knows more about gpt than anyone I know of.
[15:58] <Phong_> hi
[15:58] <bhoothnaath> hello Everyone.. I am new in ubuntu.. I have a laptop which comes with clickpad and when I intalled ubuntu 11.10 on it I can't use right click on it. can someone help me?
[15:59] <escott> rhizmoe, the efi implementations out there are a mess. if you have a choice to use bios (and don't need to boot win7 on gpt) i would go with bios+gpt over efi. its a bit more complicated to set up but you end up with the best of both worlds IMHO
[15:59] <Aceventura> best software to format a DVD-RW?
[16:00] <llutz_> Aceventura: dvd-rw-format
[16:00] <rhizmoe> escott: you read my mind, i was just checking to see if my board has efi (it does) and whether that might be a better option. :)
[16:00] <llutz_> Aceventura: dvd+rw-format*
[16:00] <escott> rhizmoe, in any case the error you have is because you did not create a small 1mb partition for grub stage two. create such a partition and give it type "grub_bios"
[16:00]  * rhizmoe closes *that* tab
[16:00] <rhizmoe> escott: i think my confusion is where that little partition should go, on the install drive, or on sda (first bios drive)
[16:01] <rhizmoe> my (remaining) confusion
[16:01] <escott> rhizmoe, i would think on the drive with the mbr. it is a replacement for the free space in mbr partitions between the mbr and the first partiton
[16:02] <escott> rhizmoe, that space is not present in gpt and so stage two has no safe place it can be put
[16:02] <rhizmoe> right. and mbr is supposed to be on the first bios drive, right?
[16:02] <escott> rhizmoe, doesn't have to be. most bioses these days let you pick the boot device. whatever mbr you are booting should have a grub_bios partition
[16:02] <ubilover> Can I make my own distribution of ubuntu, with the packages I choose?
[16:03] <rhizmoe> i think i may be back at the beginning of all this, which was to just designate the sda-during-installation as the first bootable drive in bios
[16:03] <hamsik99> hi
[16:03] <ubilover> please?
[16:03] <hamsik99> hi
[16:03] <bhoothnaath> I need some advice in fixing my clickpad..
[16:03] <hamsik99> how works this programm?
[16:03] <bazhang> !remaster | ubilover
[16:04] <rhizmoe> ubilover: you can certainly make your own distribution of linux, with "ubuntu" just being the brand name of a particular distribution as well. you can make ubilover-linux by all means.
[16:04] <escott> !ask | hamsik99
[16:04] <ubilover> thanks bazhang, rhizmoe
[16:05] <ubilover> where can I find the drivers that ubuntu comes with?
[16:06] <muh4ha> ubilover: that solely depends on what kernel you are using..
[16:06] <ubilover> muh4ha: need them for 10.04's kernel i assume it's 2.6?
[16:07] <bhoothnaath> Hi Everyone, I have a laptop which came with CLICKPAD.. I installed ubuntu 11.10 on it.. everything works fine except the right. right click doesn't work at all. can anyone tell me what should I do now? (I am kinda new in in linux)
[16:07] <thunder1212> modem HUawei ec 306 not being detected in ubuntu 11.04.. what to do performed updates after a fresh install as well..
[16:08] <muh4ha> ubilover: according to distrowatch.com it's 2.6.32
[16:08] <CharminTheMoose> I changed my DM from GDM to slim on my 11.04 install, and now jackd refuses to start, telling me to change my @audio rtprio line in /etc/security/limits.conf, what's up with this?
[16:09] <bhoothnaath> Hi Everyone, I have a laptop which came with CLICKPAD.. I installed ubuntu 11.10 on it.. everything works fine except the right. right click doesn't work at all. can anyone tell me what should I do now?

[16:10] <Combro_Asin> how to change directory to usb flashdisk in terminal command?
[16:11] <delinquentme> bhoothnaath, apologies for escott .. he just learned about macros and chooses not to help people. bhoothnaath what you want to do is look up the company who manufactures the laptop and search for drivers for that laptop
[16:12] <delinquentme> THEN youll need to install them with some ubuntu adapter
[16:12] <billy_ran_away> Anyone familiar with nfs4 kerberos autofs home directories? I read that there's a bug in Ubuntu with this, anyone have experience?
[16:13] <bazhang> billy_ran_away, whats the launchpad bug link
[16:13] <billy_ran_away> bazhang: Give me one sec
[16:14] <bhoothnaath> delinquentme, I tried to find driver but couldn't any driver.. the closest thing I found in a random blog is a script but don't know how to use it.(It's HP DV7)
[16:14] <delinquentme> bhoothnaath, that doesnt sound like a full serial #
[16:14] <delinquentme> flip it over and look under the laptop and try out the numbers under there
[16:15] <knowj> I'm trying to get the EC2-Tools to work on my Ubuntu 11.1 installation but keep running into Java problems (initially I don't think it was installed). Am I being a r-tard doing the following: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java ?

[16:17] <billy_ran_away> bazhang: Know of any work arounds?
[16:17] <billy_ran_away> bazhang: I guess maybe disabling kerberos?
[16:17] <tiago> Hi

[16:17] <usr13> alazare619: What video card is it?
[16:17] <alazare619> let me lspci
[16:17] <alazare619> cant remember offhand
[16:17] <alazare619> oo yea i can ssh in still btw
[16:18] <gr33n7007h> fidel, thats great. Do you know how to change voice?
[16:18] <tiago> Does anyone use MS Office in ubuntu?
[16:18] <alazare619> appears to be a geforce 7050 usr13
[16:19] <escott> tiago, libreoffice is one of the open source alternative if you are looking to open ms office files
[16:20] <usr13> alazare619: If you have Nvidia driver installed, go to Nvidia X Server Settings
[16:20] <rhizmoe> should the gpt be any particular filesystem type?
[16:20] <escott> alazare619, since you are shelled in can you post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to paste.ubuntu.com
[16:21] <g00denough> any cli-tool to cut off the last 9.5 seconds  from (a directory full of) mp3-files, without the need to do nasty caclulations with mp3length/mp3splt?
[16:21] <gr33n7007h> How the hell do you get BitchX to compile
[16:21] <alazare619> i ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg eems to of somewhat fixed the issue
[16:21] <HelloWorld321> Pimp slap it
[16:21] <escott> rhizmoe, you mean the grub_bios paritition? It should not be formatted (and it need only be 1 megabyte (or less)
[16:21] <usr13> gr33n7007h: Why aren't you sintalling it via the package management system?
[16:21] <alazare619> it posts to xfce now but oddly enough my dm didnt load it droped to terminal and i had to loging then run startxfce4
[16:22] <rhizmoe> escott: i'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CreateBootPartitionAfterInstall and have created a new partition at the beginning of the disk that will be configured to be the first boot drive in BIOS.
[16:22] <gr33n7007h> it's not there for some weird reason
[16:22] <rhizmoe> hm, that looks maybe like a partition for all of /boot rather than just MBR stuff
[16:23] <usr13> gr33n7007h: use irssi
[16:23] <bazhang> billy_ran_away, sorry, just checking ubuntu help pages and ubuntu forums doe s not turn up an immediate workaround
[16:23] <billy_ran_away> bazhang: Cool thanks for looking
[16:24] <escott> rhizmoe, so thats a boot partition which is distinct from this grub_bios. im not sure if that is what you want. there are 4 stages to booting. bios -> mbr -> stage 2 -> /boot/grub/* -> kernel. what happens in gpt is that the place where stage 2 is usually placed no longer exists. so you drop in a specially flagged partition to replace stage 2, but the rest of the boot process you don't have to mess with unless you want to
[16:24] <gr33n7007h> usr13, thats working
[16:24] <alazare619> whats the command to reconfigure my login manager?
[16:24] <alazare619> dpkg-reconfigure slim?
[16:25] <kamil> SieMAA
[16:25] <escott> rhizmoe, if you plane is to move the boot folder on sdb (which is gpt) to a /boot partition on sda (which is msdos) then what you are describing will work
[16:25] <escott> rhizmoe, but i dont know if that describes your setup or not
[16:25] <usr13> gr33n7007h: What file did you download?
[16:26] <Oins> Hi. Installing AVG fails: http://paste.ubuntu.com/908952/ Anyone a clue? System is: "Linux server1 2.6.35-32-server #67-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 5 21:13:25 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux", Ubuntu 10.10. At my Desktop 11.10, installation works (same file, 5minutes ago).
[16:26] <usr13> gr33n7007h: I don't think compiling is necessary, it comes as a working application, you just unpack it and use it.  (Like firefox, it too comes as a working application.)
[16:27] <rhizmoe> escott: i think that's going too far. still reading.
[16:27] <soreau> ! virus | Oins
[16:27] <usr13> gr33n7007h: but... I don't know for sure, I don't use bitchX
[16:28] <gr33n7007h> this irssi is good enough
[16:28] <gr33n7007h> im using xchat at the min
[16:29] <Oins> soreau: Sure, but it's a Fileserver with some exe files on it. And i got the avg link from exactly your side ;)
[16:30] <usr13> Oins: One of the reasons I switched (almost entirely) to using Linux is so that I would not have to deal with antivirus stuff, and I have to say it was nice to be able to ditch all that hastle.  Been a long time and a nice ride with Linux....  :)
[16:30] <rhizmoe> gah, google is really getting worse
[16:30] <soreau> Oins: yea I just use linux on all my machines

[16:32] <usr13> gr33n7007h: Yea, I really like irssi.  It's got a lot of nice features.
[16:32] <Oins> soreau: ditto, but there is some windows stuff on the (samba) server, which i like to scan
[16:32] <soreau> Oins: Why do you need avg then?
[16:32] <usr13> Oins: try clamav
[16:33] <usr13> Oins: But you should be ok with just the anti-virus application you have on your MS Windows machine.
[16:33] <usr13> Oins: You use WindowsDefender, right?
[16:34] <Oins> usr13: Nope, haven't windows installed. No WindowsDefender there ;)
[16:34] <shafire> hello, i got an ipv6 /64 subnet. ubuntu assign me an adress, but it's too long. :-) Can I assign one a shorter one?
[16:35] <usr13> Oins: Oh, ok.
[16:35] <escott> Dark_Apostrophe, the built in accessibility utils should have keyboard mouse control
[16:35] <Oins> found it.  ia32-libs was missing
[16:35] <Dark_Apostrophe> escott: Hmm... *looks*
[16:35] <xabster> I have a fresh install of Ubuntu and installed gnome and switched to GNOME desktop - look at the bar at the top: http://imgur.com/Xm37B why is it like that? and how do i fix it?
[16:36] <xabster> (lightdm)
[16:36] <Dark_Apostrophe> escott: Oh, you're right... thanks :)
[16:36] <escott> xabster, radeon using ati drivers correct?
[16:36] <xabster> it's radeon alright, don't know about the drivers
[16:36] <raven> 11.10 + virtualbox 4.1.10 extension pack - error code 1 - what could be wrong?
[16:37] <escott> xabster, if you switched to radeonhd it would go away. its some kind of bug in the ati drivers shipped with ubuntu
[16:37] <xabster> escott, can you guide me?
[16:37] <dlentz> wait, the actual "radeonhd" driver is long deprecated
[16:37] <jumper> Can someone quickly explain to me how i clould cluster 2 Ubuntu laptops, so the first one gets the power of the second one?
[16:37] <dlentz> there is open-source radeon driver and there is proprietary fglrx/Catalyst
[16:38] <escott> xabster, if you just want to disable the ati drivers then open jockey-gtk and remove the ati proprietary drivers and it will fall back to open source
[16:38] <escott> dlentz, yeah thats what i mean. i cant remember all the name changes
[16:38] <xabster> how do I remove them, you sya?
[16:38] <dlentz> xabster could also try installing latest Catalyst from AMD site (they fixed some gnome-shell issues)
[16:39] <xabster> nvm
[16:39] <FernandoCueva> anybody here knows how to make a shortcut link that will mount a harddrive while opening that folder, I have to mount my HD manually everytime I want to access that link
[16:39] <rhizmoe> why not just have it mount by default?
[16:39] <jumper> FernandoCueva, script with suid.
[16:39] <jumper> (but suid scripts need a wrapper..  nevermind)
[16:40] <Alazare619> ok finally got most of the stuff working
[16:40] <usr13> FernandoCueva: Depends on what Desktop you use.
[16:40] <Alazare619> any way to get hdmi audio working through my nvidia 7050 onboard?
[16:40] <escott> jumper, properly configured he shouldn't even need suid
[16:40] <usr13> FernandoCueva: xfce ?
[16:40] <escott> FernandoCueva, umount the folder and put a script in the folder that calls to either mount (if it is in the fstab) or udisks if it is not and mounts the drive. that way if its empty is says "click_me.sh" and then mounts
[16:41] <rhizmoe> update-manager always pops up at the most annoying time
[16:41] <usr13> FernandoCueva: And to be clear, you will mount a partition not a hard drive.
[16:41] <dlentz> rhizmoe, i always uninstall u-m, it doesn't do anything synaptic can't
[16:42] <usr13> FernandoCueva: Or more specifically, a directory on that partition.
[16:43] <FernandoCueva> usr13 only the directory will be mount? the rest of the partition wouldn't be accesable?
[16:43] <peeps[lappy]> hello i'm having problems with flash video showing with all the wrong hue.  it worked fine before and only started doing this last night.  i have adobe flash 11.2.202.228 on ubuntu 11.10
[16:43] <peeps[lappy]> has anyone else experienced this?
[16:43] <usr13> FernandoCueva: I mispoke.  Yes you DO mount the hard drive,
[16:44] <peeps[lappy]> like red and blue colors are swapped
[16:44] <dlentz> peeps[lappy], do you have nvidia video card?
[16:44] <usr13> FernandoCueva: You should be able to access all that is on it.  What type of drive is it?
[16:44] <peeps[lappy]> dlentz, yes
[16:44] <xabster> escott, thanks, that fixed it and I now have a desktop I like... but my GFX cards fan's are going crazy
[16:44] <bazhang> peeps[lappy], disable hw acceleration in full screen flash should do it
[16:45] <xabster> with the open source drivers
[16:45] <dlentz> yes, what bazhang said
[16:45] <usr13> FernandoCueva: It may be appropriate to create a fstab entry for it.
[16:45] <peeps[lappy]> bazhang, it happens when not fullscreen though
[16:45] <bazhang> peeps[lappy], yes, but disable it in fullscreen first
[16:45] <usr13> FernandoCueva: ... if you want it perminately mounted.
[16:46] <peeps[lappy]> ah ok looks like that worked
[16:46] <ironm> hello. Is there an easy way to create encrypted LVM volumes on ubuntu server 11.10 or 12.04? (like during installation). Thank you in advance for any hints
[16:46] <peeps[lappy]> bazhang, do you know why it would suddenly change like that?  was it a bug in a recent update in flash or nvidia
[16:47] <ironm> I have a second RAID conroller
[16:47] <bazhang> ironm, using the alternate cd?
[16:47] <escott> xabster, your alternative as dlentz suggested it so download and install the drivers from ati's website, but then you have to manage that
[16:47] <bazhang> peeps[lappy], not really, just knew about the fix
[16:47] <peeps[lappy]> bazhang, ok, well thanks for the fix
[16:47] <usr13> ironm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemLVMHowto
[16:48] <ironm> bazhang, I hopped I could use the same script as on install media. I have already installed ubuntu-sever 12.04
[16:48] <FernandoCueva> usr13, I want to mount it only when I double click the folder not from fstab
[16:48] <ironm> thanks a lot usr13
[16:48] <usr13> FernandoCueva: What type of drive is it?
[16:48] <dlentz> xabster, see guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_drivers_manually
[16:48] <usr13> FernandoCueva: ... and how is it connected to your computer?
[16:48] <dlentz> sorry: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_drivers_manually
[16:49] <escott> FernandoCueva, being in fstab doesn't mean it has to be mounted. there is nothing i know of that will mount the folder when it is accessed. the closest you can get to that behavior is to put a script "click_me_to_mount.sh" in the folder which will be visible when it is unmounted
[16:49] <usr13> FernandoCueva: Plugdev should be doing that for you.
[16:50] <dlentz> peeps[lappy], the bug is probably in flash since it started happening with latest update
[16:52] <FernandoCueva> escott, so you were saying i should replace the desktop file for a script to mount the fs
[16:53] <escott> FernandoCueva, lets start with that current workflow. what does this desktop file do?
[16:53] <rhizmoe> well that didn't work
[16:54] <rhizmoe> single drive; create 1MB partition at front of disk, flag it bios_grub; grub-install /dev/sda; reboot; "no bootable devices found"
[16:54] <FernandoCueva> it is a shortcut to a folder on that partition
[16:54] <escott> rhizmoe, were you chrooted when you did the grub-install?
[16:55] <FernandoCueva> that is unmounted when I load the os
[16:55] <escott> FernandoCueva, so right now it just opens an empty folder?
[16:55] <FernandoCueva> no that folder has files
[16:55] <rhizmoe> escott: i was booted to the install drive itself via the livecd's "boot from first disk"
[16:55] <AzizLight> Hi everybody
[16:55] <escott> FernandoCueva, what command do you use to mount that folder?
[16:55] <FernandoCueva> I just go to places and click on the filesystem
[16:56] <usr13> FernandoCueva: ... must be already mounted.  You only need to create a symbolic link
[16:56] <escott> rhizmoe, that should be ok then. i assume grub-install was happy this time. you said you have two disks? have you tried grub-install /dev/sdb? is it also gpt?
[16:56] <AzizLight> I need to install imagemagick on an ubuntu 10.04 LTS VPS and I am a bit nervous. I don't want to install an outdated version. How may I proceed please?
[16:57] <rhizmoe> escott: i've unplugged all but the isntall and optical drives. no joy, no errors from grub-install
[16:57] <rhizmoe> AzizLight: you can build it from source. it'll take awhile.
[16:57] <FernandoCueva> that symbolic link says is invalid before I mount that partition
[16:57] <FernandoCueva> usr13, that symbolic link says is invalid before I mount that partition
[16:58] <AzizLight> rhizmoe: yeah, if I can avoid that it would be better, I don't need the latest version, just not an outdated one...
[16:58] <rhizmoe> AzizLight: what is the range of version numbers for the gap between those?
[16:59] <rhizmoe> and "outdated" probably doesn't matter if you're just cropping jpgs
[16:59] <AzizLight> rhizmoe: not clue lol. The last stable would be great, isn't there a ppa for it?
[16:59] <rhizmoe> should be in one of the default ones
[16:59] <escott> FernandoCueva, ok. so what happens is that nautilus knows that when you go to places it needs to mount the partition, but thats because you are going through nautilus (the places menu) and not the desktop file. you can mount with a udisks command "udisks --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/######" replacing #### with the correct uuid. put that command in a file start it with #!/bin/bash on the first line. save it and chmod +x it, unmount the parti
[16:59] <escott> tion and put that script in your folder
[16:59] <aatish> hi everyone. i have a problem concerning video. currently using 11.10/unity/gnome shell. the video flickers when it is played with all the video players. using integrated intel sandy bridge. is disabling the effects the only way i can prevent the video flickering?
[16:59] <Alazare619> ok so i have video working properly in ubuntu 10.04 but i cant seem to get audio working its a nvidia geforce 7050 anyone have an idea?
[17:00] <rhizmoe> aatish: does disabling them prevent the flickering?
[17:00] <AzizLight> i'm using python-software-properties so if I can use that it would be great, I just don't know which repo to add...
[17:00] <rhizmoe> i don't know what that is
[17:01] <CharminTheMoose> I changed my DM from GDM to slim on my 11.04 install, and now jackd refuses to start, telling me to change my @audio rtprio line in /etc/security/limits.conf, what's up with this?
[17:01] <AzizLight> apparently it's a thing to add repos to the sources.list
[17:01] <aatish> rhizmoe: i am stil trying to find out how to disable the effects. i read somewhere that disabling the effects stop the flickering. i already have ccsm installed. can u guide me please
[17:01] <escott> rhizmoe, im not sure. if this is some kind of dual efi/bios motherboard then maybe it wants to force an efi boot whenever it sees gpt. clearly grub is not being loaded but it sounds like it was installed correctly
[17:02] <rhizmoe> hm, i'll check BIOS. thanks!
[17:02] <Tegaro> Hi. I am in Live CD. I need to do things in console in my Ubuntu installed partition. I can enter in that partition, how to enter on the partition from the console?
[17:02] <rhizmoe> and yeah, it's an intel efi board, so could be that
[17:02] <dlentz> AzizLight, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=imagemagick
[17:02] <Dark_Apostrophe> Is it possible to unload and reload a driver that is compiled into the kernel (as opposed to being a module) without rebooting?
[17:03] <escott> !info unity-2d | aatish
[17:03] <escott> aatish, install the above, logout and on your next login select unity-2d
[17:03] <escott> Dark_Apostrophe, no
[17:03] <rhizmoe> Dark_Apostrophe: i would think not
[17:04] <Dark_Apostrophe> Thought so... damn.
[17:04] <phpN00b> so when is the next release of ubuntu??
[17:04] <aatish> escott: thanks very much. will be back shortly
[17:04] <AzizLight> dlentz: that doesn't help me.. I know I need to add the correct ppa via sudo add-apt-repository ppa:<repo> I just don't know what the exact repo name is...
[17:05] <escott> !precise | phpN00b end of april
[17:05] <ga_sk8er> when i run cheese, my cam is kinda dark until i reach up & tuch the cam. how do i fix that?
[17:05] <dlentz> AzizLight, you have to look through the list... (i consider myself helpful, but not THAT helpful ;P )
[17:06] <phpN00b> so what is new in Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:06] <Tegaro> How to edit a installed ubuntu (like usr, var...) from live CD?
[17:06] <CharminTheMoose> Whenever I log into slim without selecting a session (on 11.04), my default login goes to gnome. But my .xinitrc and slim.conf look like this: http://pastebin.ca/2134325
[17:06] <Gonetalik> ga_sk8er, I don't think you can, the webcam just assumes it's dark.
[17:06] <Gonetalik> phpN00b: It's probably uglier, harder to use, and has a 12 instead of an 11.
[17:06] <ga_sk8er> but when i touch the cam, it brightens up for a minute, then it gets dark again
[17:06] <Gonetalik> ga_sk8er: No clue. :/
[17:07] <escott> ga_sk8er, put tape over the light sensor would be my suggestion
[17:07] <Zoffix> Tegaro, find where you mounted it, and just go and edit.
[17:07] <Varathron> Does anyone know of a document on general practices for porting software
[17:07] <Zoffix> Tegaro, or maybe it had to be mounted; not sure....
[17:08] <Tegaro> Zoffix, it is mounted. I can see the files, but can't edit them. Maybe I need to run some commands on console?
[17:08] <ga_sk8er> escott....wouldnt that make it darker? i want it brighter
[17:08] <Zoffix> Tegaro, what do you mean by "can't edit them"? Permissions or something?
[17:09] <Tegaro> Zoffix, It says that I am not the propietary.
[17:10] <Tegaro> Zoffix, but I am the propietary, I am in a live CD version. I want to edit the installed Ubuntu from here
[17:10] <escott> ga_sk8er, assuming its in the camera's firmware, then its trying to set the brightness level based on some ambient brightness in the room, and if that light sensor (if there is a second light sensor other than the CCD) is covered it will force it to use a higher gain on the CCD signal
[17:10] <Zoffix> Tegaro, you might need to use sudo (or gksu, if you're using graphical file manager); other than that, I'm unsure.
[17:10] <aatish> hi again everyone. login using unity-2d. the flickering reduced a little but it is stil noticeable. i noted that i get this problem from all the distro but now its begining to bother me much.
[17:10] <bazhang> Tegaro, chroot ?
[17:11] <escott> !chroot | Tegaro
[17:11] <ga_sk8er> ok
[17:11] <escott> aatish, then its likely an issue with xvideo extensions. if you switch to using x11 or opengl it should go away
[17:12] <_Marcus> Hello. When I tried running a program with mono, it gave me this error: http://pastebin.com/yGfE14hn I didn't use sudo, because they told me not to use it
[17:12] <nicofs> How can I force an older version of a package? (Synaptic has the "force version" option greyed out...)
[17:12] <_Marcus> I have latest mono-runtime installed too
[17:13] <ga_sk8er> thats what it is...when i shadow it with my hand, it brightens up
[17:13] <jrib> nicofs: why?
[17:14] <Aster> Hi!
[17:14] <aatish> escott: i tried changing the video output. stil same problem. i owned an nvidia card. i was avoiding to use it. but will install it and c wat i get
[17:14] <Aster> I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Desktop a while back, and I switched my graphics cards.
[17:15] <Aster> I can no longer boot into Ubuntu anymore.
[17:15] <Aster> I Switched from AMD to NVidia.
[17:15] <Aster> My plan is to install Ubuntu from a USB keystick,
[17:16] <Aster> And keep all my data.
[17:16] <Aster> How would I proceed?
[17:16] <bazhang> !usb | Aster
[17:16] <Tegaro> Sorry, but I can't. I just want to edit files from an installed Ubuntu (like usr, var...) from a live cd version of Ubuntu
[17:16] <nicofs> jrib, if i got a dollar every time the first reply to a question here is "why (do you want to do that)?", i'd be extremely rich by now... i have dependency issues...
[17:16] <escott> Aster, you might not need to do all that. boot the livecd, and mount the ubuntu partition. chroot yourself in. remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and sudo apt-get remove fglrx
[17:17] <bazhang> Tegaro, and you checked the chroot link?
[17:17] <jrib> nicofs: well I ask "why?" when it seems like someone is asking how to do X so that they can solve Z and Z likely has a better solution.
[17:17] <Aster> I basically want to migrate all my data from my previous 10.10 non-working build to a new USB-installed 11.10 build.
[17:18] <jrib> nicofs: with that in mind, what dependency issues? :)
[17:18] <Alazare619> any idea why alsa wont let me configure my hdmi audio
[17:18] <nicofs> jrib, i need to install a package that depends on an older version and can't cope with the one installed. and before you ask: i need that package...
[17:18] <jrib> nicofs: can you be more specific?
[17:19] <bazhang> nicofs, you want to force install from an earlier version repo
[17:19] <Tegaro> bazhang, yes, but I don't understand what I must write in the console.
[17:19] <nicofs> bazhang, yes.
[17:19] <bazhang> nicofs, whatever for
[17:20] <nicofs> jrib, it's the nvidia driver for my graphics card and from what i read something has been changes in the package "xorg-server-common" so that this package claims that "xorg-video-abi-10" is not there even though it theoretically is...
[17:20] <jrib> nicofs: what version of ubuntu? what card?  Why aren't you using the ubuntu-provided nvidia driver?
[17:22] <mencoli> hi
[17:22] <nicofs> jrib, i give up... is the needed command really so depending on the context? I could use the provided driver but with that my HDMI output doesn't work - so in order to use that i need the nvidia driver and to install that i need to downgrade xorg...
[17:23] <jrib> nicofs: well you're just going to break your install.  I'm trying to help you but really don't feel like fighting with you.  sudo apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION installs the VERSION version of PACKAGE.  Good luck.
[17:24] <nicofs> jrib, i know that this might break my install - and i can live with that.
[17:24] <Halexander9000> Greetings from Eastern Europe, gentlehumans! I seem to have little problem involving OpenShot Video Editor and libmp3lame. Both of them are installed, the later has been recently compiled and installed manually by myself. Yet when I want to compile an Mp4, OpenShot doesn't seen to recognize that libmp3lame is installed. How do I check that I installed it properly and how do I make Openshot recognize it?
[17:25] <Halexander9000> Could someone please help me with the above issue?
[17:25] <ikonia> Halexander9000: that's something that's done at compile time
[17:25] <ikonia> Halexander9000: linking in libraries link that are build time options
[17:25] <rhizmoe> Halexander9000: does it want libmp3lame, or lame-the-executable itself?
[17:25] <Aster> Is it safe to remove xorg.conf and sudo apt-get remove fglrx while running ubuntu?
[17:26] <Halexander9000> ikonia: Do I need to compile OpenShot itself? It only wants libmp3lame.
[17:26] <ikonia> Aster: sure, however if you need them when you reboot you'll be in trouble if you need those files
[17:26] <ikonia> Halexander9000: if it wants to be linked against it sure
[17:26] <ikonia> !info openshot
[17:26] <Aster> ikonia, what do you mean?
[17:27] <ikonia> Halexander9000: openshot is in the ubuntu repos, is there a reason you are compiling this software rather using the versions in the repo ?
[17:27] <ikonia> Aster: I mean, if you need those components, and you remove them, when you reboot, there will be a problem
[17:27] <Halexander9000> ikonia: No, no reason. I'll just reinstall it then.

[17:29] <ikonia> Geodesical: why are you using the PPA
[17:29] <nibbler_> Geodesical, do you have ppa in use?
[17:29] <Geodesical> I don't have the slightest clue what PPA is..
[17:29] <Aster> ikonia, Then how would I proceed with removing those?
[17:29] <Halexander9000> zacarias: Yeah, I want to know that too.
[17:29] <bazhang> zacarias, tab complete ?
[17:29] <nibbler_> zacarias, you can see the files of a package by dpkg -L $packagename, or the package of a file with apt-search search $filename
[17:30] <Aster> Or, how do I remove fglrx while in use?
[17:30] <bazhang> Aster, you dont
[17:30] <Aster> How do I stop using fglrx?
[17:30] <Geodesical> ikonia: I haven't the slightest clue what PPA is

[17:34] <arbir> hello sysc
[17:34] <bazhang> arbir, #ubuntu-server
[17:35] <arbir> bazhang: i tried that…. says, no much channel.. maybe it is not there in freenode.net
[17:35] <trijntje> ikonia: ok, thanks!
[17:35] <bazhang> arbir, sure its there
[17:35] <arbir> nope…. i typoed :-) thanks bazhang
[17:36] <Halexander9000> ikonia: Fiddlesticks, the reinstall had no effect, libmp3lame is still not detected. And I've used the proper procedure to compile libmp3lame [sudo ./configure;sudo make;sudo make install] and still nothing.
[17:36] <Geodesical> ikonia: How would I check that?
[17:36] <hopeishep> what does memtest do?
[17:36] <ikonia> Halexander9000: that is not the proper method
[17:36] <ikonia> Halexander9000: that is just blindly typing things
[17:36] <ikonia> Geodesical: open that directory and see if there is anything there
[17:36] <Halexander9000> ikonia: I read the readme.
[17:37] <Halexander9000> ikonia: I just put in sudo so I know no conflicts will arise like permissions and what not.
[17:37] <Geodesical> ikonia; No, what I mean is how do I access that directory?
[17:37] <ikonia> Halexander9000: right, and it just said "blindly type configure && make && make install"
[17:37] <dlentz> Halexander9000, https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/1040
[17:37] <ikonia> Geodesical: you don't know how to look at files and directories using ubuntu ?
[17:38] <Halexander9000> ikonia: Yes, I can paste bin it for you.
[17:38] <escott> hopeishep, checks if the memory is bad
[17:38] <Geodesical> ikonia: I am new to Ubuntu, I am used to Windows' easier ways around.
[17:39] <ikonia> Geodesical: the file manager is the same as windows explorer
[17:39] <ikonia> Geodesical: before continuing I'd suggest having a read of https://help.ubuntu.com to get to understand the basics of how to do things like look in a directory
[17:39] <Geodesical> ikonia: Oh, you could have just said to use the File Manager.:P
[17:39] <mcloy> !sendmail
[17:39] <ikonia> Geodesical: sort of stands to reason "look in a directory" "use the file manager"
[17:41] <CharminTheMoose> Whenever I log into slim without selecting a session (on 11.04), my default login goes to gnome. But my .xinitrc and slim.conf look like this: http://pastebin.ca/2134325
[17:41] <Halexander9000> ikonia: There you go http://pastebin.com/Xuy35gd5. It says right there, as you put it, to go into the directory in which the source is located and perform each operation one after the other:"./configure" then "make" then "make install". I've added "sudo" at the beginning of each command to make sure.
[17:42] <DaveMorris> Using Rhythmbox on oneiric and it is pulling in all of the music I have, rather than respecting the path I set for the library to use, any ideas what I've done wrong.  On my machine I have ~\Music which contains a flac and mp3 directory, I only want to pull in the flac versions but it pulls in both
[17:42] <dlentz> Halexander9000, you need libavformat-extra, https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/1040
[17:42] <Halexander9000> dlentz: I'm pretty sure that was an example.
[17:42] <dlentz> what?
[17:42] <ikonia> Halexander9000: and that is why you fail, "it trys to guess at compile options, if you need specific file compile options, please learn how to use configure" that is not "please type sudo configure && make && make install blindly"
[17:43] <Halexander9000> dlentz: Openshot will prompt you if it's missing something
[17:43] <dlentz> Halexander9000 probably doesn't need to build limp3lame
[17:43] <Halexander9000> ikonia: But it seemed to work!
[17:43] <escott> Halexander9000, you should be using checkinstall instead of sudo make install. and if checkinstall doesn't work for you, you should be using a --prefix in ./configure. doing otherwise a quick way to hose your system
[17:44] <ikonia> Halexander9000: nope, it didn't or you wouldn't be in here asking why it doesn't work
[17:44] <Halexander9000> ikonia: What else am I to do?
[17:44] <auronandace> !wfm | Halexander9000
[17:44] <dlentz> ok, so Halexander9000, do you have libavformat-extra installed?
[17:44] <dlentz> because if not, it's not going to work..
[17:44] <Halexander9000> dlentz: Hmm... alright, I'll do it your way.
[17:45] <mcloy> what php mailing method is better for heavy email mailing on a site ? sendmail or something else?or setup an smtp server.. fully
[17:45]  * dlentz reminds himself that you can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink
[17:45] <ikonia> mcloy: ask the guys in ##php
[17:45] <xabster> how do i figure out which graphics drivers I'm currently using?
[17:46] <ikonia> Halexander9000: honestly, not a put down, but you'll get a lot further with things if you read the whole information, rather than skipping to the few lines you think you need
[17:46] <Halexander9000> dlentz: Yes. I am very stubborn. I'm sincerely sorry if you are a good source and I don't trust you.
[17:46] <dlentz> Halexander9000, no worries
[17:46] <escott> xabster, glxinfo
[17:46] <mcloy> ikonia,  frontend is php. but the working is to be done by sendmail or and smtp server or any thing else. this is not a php coding question.
[17:46] <Halexander9000> ikonia: Alright. But... some of these words I don't quite understand.
[17:46] <ikonia> Halexander9000: I saw the problem in the first few lines, and if you read the whole thing, you'll perhaps move a little slower in future
[17:46] <ikonia> Halexander9000: that what we are here for, ask if you don't know
[17:46] <Halexander9000> ikonia: Or I simply don't pay attention to.
[17:46] <xabster> escott, X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
[17:47] <dlentz> xabster, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:47] <ikonia> mcloy: it is a php question, as php will feed into the mail server, so the load will be part of the php generating the email to feed into the smtp server
[17:47] <auronandace> xabster: lsmod
[17:47] <escott> xabster, then it would seem you dont have glx installed. so as dlentz suggested its time to look at Xorg.0.log
[17:47] <Halexander9000> ikonia: So what you're saying is I need to personalize the compiling options for my specific system?
[17:47] <mcloy> ikonia,  tell the server part.. ill handle php
[17:48] <ikonia> Halexander9000: well, what I'd say is you don't need to compile it, the version int he repo will do it for you, however if you have to compile, reading the info is the right thing
[17:48] <mcloy> ikonia,  which software is good in handling mails. sendmail or anyother?
[17:48] <bastidrazor> xabster: lspci -vv then look for your VGA card in that list will show Kernel module: something here .. the module will be your driver
[17:48] <ikonia> mcloy: one smtp is pretty much as good as the other for sending out emails as a dumb injection relay
[17:48] <Aster> Hi, I need help setting up two screens on an AMD GPU on a laptop, but it tells me my max screen resolution is 1600*1600, which it isn't on Windows, any way of fixing that?
[17:48] <xabster> escott, http://pastebin.com/NP5xcDf0
[17:48] <Halexander9000> ikonia: I can't find libmp3lame in Ubuntu Software Center. So I'll check for it in the Synaptic Package Manager then.
[17:48] <mcloy> ikonia,  ok. what do you think about sendmail ?
[17:49] <ikonia> mcloy: I think it's fine
[17:49] <ikonia> Halexander9000: check out what dlentz was saying
[17:49] <Halexander9000> ikonia: I'm already on it, as we speak.
[17:49] <escott> xabster, see lines 364-368. your 3d is disabled because your fglrx modules are not matching the kernel
[17:49] <mcloy> ikonia,  ok. secondly . do all email servers behave same when sending emails (as spam filtering is concerned)
[17:50] <Deke> I have installed an AMD driver (FGLRX). When I reboot Ubuntu doesn't start. I am on live CD. I found a guide to unistall the driver (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:__Need_to_fully_remove_-fglrx_and_reinstall_-ati_from_scratch), but I don't know how to use it from Live CD. Suggestions?
[17:50] <ikonia> mcloy: spam filters do not care about the mail server software, if you send spam, you'll get caught in spam filters
[17:50] <dlentz> Deke, it's bes to boot into recovery console
[17:51] <Halexander9000> dlentz: I'm installing libavformat-extra-53 right now. It prompted me that I need to remove some things before I do it. Did it anyway.
[17:51] <buchsk> Running 11.10, zeitgeist-daemon is sucking up CPU. What is this about?
[17:51] <xabster> escott, not good :/
[17:51] <zacarias> and how do you get a list of all installed packages?
[17:51] <mcloy> ikonia,  iam making  a site for my client. i deals heavily in send mails. newsletters etc. how can i diffrenciate emails from spam
[17:51] <Deke> dlentz, I can't use the guide from there, it give me error. (Maybe I have to mount something on the recovery console?)
[17:51] <ikonia> mcloy: you can't - don't send spam
[17:51] <dlentz> Halexander9000, yes, it has to remove the non-extra packages
[17:51] <FernandoCueva> how do I find the UUID of my directory folder
[17:52] <dlentz> Deke, i meant to boot into your install (not livecd)
[17:52] <Halexander9000> dlentz: Thank you for your patience, your method seems to work. And thank you ikonia.
[17:53] <UBunTuluLz> Hi
[17:53] <dlentz> Halexander9000, you're welcome, enjoy
[17:53] <Deke> dlentz, when I boot into my installed Ubuntu it shows a creepy Ubuntu logo, seconds later the screen goes black.
[17:53] <UBunTuluLz> Hi, anyone can help me?
[17:53] <dlentz> Deke,  did you try hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1
[17:53] <escott> FernandoCueva, sudo blkid will print out the uuid associated with each /dev/sdX# and you can match that up with what you see in disk utility if you dont know the device
[17:53] <auronandace> !nomodeset | Deke
[17:53] <UBunTuluLz> Fernando
[17:53] <UBunTuluLz> Are you spanish?
[17:53] <bazhang> UBunTuluLz, ask a question
[17:54] <Deke> auronandace, I'll check that.,
[17:54] <UBunTuluLz> I have a problem with ubuntu
[17:55] <UBunTuluLz> Y want to put ubuntu in acpi = off and nolapci
[17:55] <bazhang> UBunTuluLz, then ask, all on ONE line
[17:55] <keegsconte> Anyone know why Persistence disk are not booting after changes?
[17:55] <mcloy> ikonia,  its legitimate. dont wory :)
[17:55] <UBunTuluLz> But I cant
[17:55] <dlentz> what happens?
[17:55] <mcloy> ikonia,  which has multithreading  (utilizing full bandwidth available)    sendmail or any other smtp server ?
[17:55] <UBunTuluLz> Are you talking with me?
[17:55] <UBunTuluLz> dlentz ?
[17:55] <escott> keegsconte, because they are really fragile and break super easily. the best use of persistence is to persist your files not to update the os regularly
[17:56] <dlentz> UBunTuluLz, i'm attempting to...
[17:56] <mamemame187> !rabbitsay
[17:56] <UBunTuluLz> ah ok Im spanish so Im gonna explain my problem
[17:56] <UBunTuluLz> I have no problems on usb boot
[17:56] <UBunTuluLz> I can open ubuntu by usb
[17:56] <UBunTuluLz> Its like a trial
[17:56] <mamemame187> !shuttleworthsays
[17:56] <buchsk> anyway to disable user entrance/departure comments in pidgin?
[17:56] <UBunTuluLz> But when I install it
[17:57] <nibbler_> !enter
[17:57] <auronandace> !enter | UBunTuluLz
[17:57] <bazhang> mamemame187, stop that
[17:57] <hopeishep> whats the difference between startx and xinit?
[17:57] <UBunTuluLz> It shows me a error
[17:57] <FernandoCueva> escott, but I dont know how to use it
[17:57] <mamemame187> ignore me
[17:57] <keegsconte> Yes it is no problem to run live or install Ubuntu from a usb disk, but when you setup a persistence partition to save info it is differents UBunTuLulz
[17:57] <xabster> escott, how do i solve that kernel issue?
[17:58] <asan> how to run the installation from a USB drive with zogruzachny?
[17:58] <xabster> I got the drivers from ATI's site like all guides tell me to
[17:58] <keegsconte> But I under stand what your saying escott
[17:58] <escott> FernandoCueva, why don't you run "sudo blkid" and send that to use through paste.ubuntu.com, and then mount the partition through places and send the output of "mount"
[17:58] <UBunTuluLz> And in usb boot I put in advanced options (F6) and I put the options acpi = off and nolapci
[17:58] <UBunTuluLz> And it functions very well
[17:59] <usr13> xinit is a Window System initializer,  startx is used to initialize an X session
[17:59] <keegsconte> Depending on the system you might have to turn off apci
[17:59] <mcloy>   which has multithreading  (utilizing full bandwidth available)    sendmail or any other smtp server ?
[17:59] <dlentz> xabster, so you built the packages and they installed okay?
[17:59] <escott> xabster, if you get the drivers from ati's sight you have to make sure the correct module is being loaded. you might need to modprobe it/perhaps add it to your initrd (although i would think its ok to probe it later)
[17:59] <Thomas___> I have a system with ext3 where I accindently deleted a directory. Is there any way to restore it? I've cleanly unmounted the device
[17:59] <UBunTuluLz> Yes but without acpi off, ubuntu is dont functionally with my PC
[17:59] <usr13> qq
[17:59] <escott> !undelete | Thomas
[18:00] <keegsconte> My new laptop is fine but my old one wouldn't boot unless I turned off apci.
[18:00] <xabster> dlentz, i made the file i downloaded an executable and went through the install with no problems - it asked me to reboot at the end and i did
[18:00] <dlentz> UBunTuluLz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Editing_the_GRUB_2_Menu_During_Boot
[18:00] <paulus68> ikonia: are you still here?
[18:01] <dlentz> xabster, you should have built packages
[18:01] <dlentz> also, you should have dkms installed
[18:01] <xabster> well, a newbie can only do as the guides command, dlentz
[18:01] <xabster> and it was made for it
[18:01] <usr13> The xinit program is used to start the X Window  System  server  and  a first  client  program  on systems that are not using a display manager such as xdm(1) or in environments that  use  multiple  window  systems. The startx script is a front end to xinit(1) that provides  a  somewhat nicer  user interface for running a single session of the X Window System.
[18:01] <UBunTuluLz> Tanks dlentz I will read that
[18:02] <ikonia> paulus68: yes, on and off
[18:02] <dlentz> xabster, you followed this method? http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Before_you_start
[18:02] <xabster> yes, that method failed, DLange
[18:02] <paulus68> ikonia: can you help me out debugging squid or are you running out of time
[18:03] <ikonia> paulus68: what's the issue ?
[18:03] <dlentz> so then you DID build packages..(?)
[18:04] <xabster> dlentz, i tried several different ways of installing the drivers and some of them make me build packages
[18:04] <paulus68> ikonia: I get a connection refused when I open my browser
[18:04] <rhizmoe> escott: reinstalling with "whole disk" boots :/
[18:04] <ikonia> paulus68: have you setup squid ?
[18:04] <UBunTuluLz> dlentz how can I change the grub In the boot?
[18:04] <paulus68> ikonia: rephrase that access denied
[18:04] <UBunTuluLz> I dont understand that
[18:04] <escott> rhizmoe, it probably set it up as mbr
[18:04] <paulus68> ikonia: yes
[18:04] <UBunTuluLz> What I have to put In the GRUB?
[18:04] <ikonia> paulus68: have you setup the auth system ?
[18:05] <UBunTuluLz> Where I have to put acpi=off and nolapci
[18:05] <rhizmoe> escott: well yeah, but that's what i had tried to do manually before.
[18:05] <escott> rhizmoe, i mean not a gpt but a msdos parititon type
[18:05] <paulus68> ikonia: I installed squid using this guide http://sylvarwolflinux.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/installing-squid-proxy-server-in-ubuntu/
[18:05] <ikonia> paulus68: not what I asked, have you setup an auth system ?
[18:05] <dlentz> UBunTuluLz, you put them at the end of the 'linux' line with 'quiet splash' (like shown in the picture)
[18:05]  * auronandace is astonished at how many people use random guides off the internet
[18:06] <paulus68> ikonia: no I didn't
[18:06] <ikonia> paulus68: ok, so that is why you are getting access denied
[18:06] <paulus68> ikonia: since it wasn't mentioned in this tutorial
[18:06] <UBunTuluLz> Yeh I know but how can I open that menu during the boot?
[18:06] <rhizmoe> escott: parted shows an ext4 starting at 1M, could the boot junk be in that 1M via hidden partition or something (not sure how you'd hide from parted, but...)
[18:06] <ikonia> paulus68: you need to have an auth system, even if it's basic "allow all, deny none" (that would be a bad example)
[18:06] <UBunTuluLz> Sorry about my bad english
[18:06] <FernandoCueva> how do I change from labels to absolute paths in nautilus
[18:07] <paulus68> ikonia: how do I set this up
[18:07] <ikonia> paulus68: it's documented on the squid home page
[18:07] <escott> rhizmoe, how is the disk partitioned? is it gpt or mbr?
[18:08] <paulus68> ikonia: any pointers where to find it exactly
[18:08] <rhizmoe> escott:
[18:08] <rhizmoe> erf
[18:08] <rhizmoe> http://pastie.org/3704698
[18:08] <ikonia> paulus68: come on, why are you not reading the information on the squid home page, instead of looking for small snippets
[18:08] <rhizmoe> if only ^c meant "copy"
[18:09] <UBunTuluLz> FernandoCueva, do you speak spanish?
[18:09] <escott> rhizmoe, right it went to msdos partition types. so it blew away the gpt partitions
[18:09] <auronandace> !es | UBunTuluLz
[18:09] <rhizmoe> escott: do you mean primary/extended?
[18:09] <rhizmoe> or filesystems?
[18:09] <FernandoCueva> why the question
[18:09] <escott> rhizmoe, and for a 500GB im not sure why you ever had gpt to be honest.
[18:09] <FernandoCueva> I speak english too
[18:09] <dlentz> UBunTuluLz, you hold 'Shift' during boot
[18:10] <UBunTuluLz> join #ubuntu-es
[18:10] <UBunTuluLz> #ubuntu-es
[18:10] <rhizmoe> escott: i didn't at the beginning! this all would seem to stem from wanting a separate /usr partition, but i'm sure other stuff is going on too
[18:10] <escott> rhizmoe, msdos has the primary/extended distinction
[18:10] <paulus68> ikonia: is this the right section?http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SecurityPitfalls
[18:10] <escott> rhizmoe, separate /usr just doesn't work on modern linux oses. you shouldnt do that
[18:11] <rhizmoe> well that's just silly, then
[18:11] <ikonia> paulus68: that's a useful page
[18:11] <ikonia> paulus68: but without the context of what that page is doing you may struggle
[18:12] <rhizmoe> anyway, thanks escott, though my learnings have boiled down to "just reinstall with the defaults" ;)
[18:12] <paulus68> ikonia: that's why I am comming to you :)
[18:12] <rhizmoe> GET AT ME
[18:12] <escott> rhizmoe, thats pretty good advice for ubuntu. took me a couple months to learn that when i first switched from gentoo
[18:12] <rhizmoe> escott: i has a sad now
[18:12] <ikonia> paulus68: it's pointless to take "snippets" of info like that, it's better to read the configuration guide and get at least a basic understanding of how it works, then look for snippets to augment that
[18:13] <escott> FernandoCueva, were you messaging me earlier? if you were please repeat with my nickname
[18:13]  * rhizmoe wonders if gedit is available for freebsd ;)
[18:13] <keegsconte> Hmmm interesting. Ubuntu 12.04 lts b2 filters not working.
[18:13] <auronandace> rhizmoe: indeed it is
[18:13] <asan> \help
[18:14] <rhizmoe> auronandace: maybe after my deadline I'll try pursuing that option ;)
[18:14] <FernandoCueva> escott, how do I change the location display with what I see with control L but make it so it stays permante
[18:15] <rhizmoe> dangit, i hope this still boots after i plug the other drives back in. :/
[18:15] <auronandace> keegsconte: 12.04 stuff in #ubuntu+1 until released
[18:15] <escott> FernandoCueva, i don't think you can. you could ctrl-L and then ctrl-C to copy it
[18:15] <UBunTuluLz> escott
[18:16] <UBunTuluLz> If I have to put acpi=off in GRUB
[18:16] <UBunTuluLz> I have to put after ro or after quiet splash
[18:16] <trism> FernandoCueva: gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
[18:17] <escott> UBunTuluLz, shouldn't matter
[18:17] <escott> trism, sweet thanks
[18:19] <dlentz> UBunTuluLz, once you get the installation booted, you make changes permanent by adding acpi=off to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub
[18:19] <dlentz> and then running sudo update-grub
[18:20] <UBunTuluLz> dlentz I done undertand you, but no Im in the GRUB
[18:20] <reesk92> how do i change the icon of a symbolic link
[18:20] <UBunTuluLz> It shows version 1.99-12ubuntu5
[18:21] <UBunTuluLz> I have to modificate any here?
[18:21] <dlentz> you already added acpi=off?
[18:22] <UBunTuluLz> Yes I have put acpi=off noapci and nolapci
[18:22] <UBunTuluLz> one after  one
[18:23] <UBunTuluLz> Its like this    ro acpi=off noapci nolapci quiet splash vt.handoff
[18:23] <Deke> I tried the nomodeser method, but it does not work. I'll tell the full story, maybe you can help.

[18:26] <mencoli> i put snort -dve on terminal
[18:27] <Deke> escott, I tried it, but the same problem appears. The difference is that the creepy ubuntu logo is changed by a big ubuntu log.
[18:27] <UBunTuluLz> I am 2 weeks with this problem
[18:27] <UBunTuluLz> ;(
[18:28] <bastidrazor> balactus: mp3 as an mp3?? copy files as data

[18:28] <UBunTuluLz> Lets show now
[18:28] <escott> Deke, can you tell how far into the boot it gets when it fails? if you have ssh installed can you ssh into the box and execute runlevel
[18:29] <UBunTuluLz> Again....
[18:29] <Deke> escott, I'll try. How to do that?
[18:29] <UBunTuluLz> Black screen Enter help foa alist of built-in commands

[18:29] <UBunTuluLz> Now in busybox show me a error
[18:30] <escott> Deke, well did you ever install ssh?
[18:30] <UBunTuluLz> But later in GRUB
[18:30] <dlentz> Deke: you can boot to recovery mode (hold shift to get grub menu when you boot)
[18:30] <bazhang> UBunTuluLz, why are you adding grub commands into busybox?
[18:30] <Deke> escott, I don't know. It is installed by default=

[18:30] <Deke> *?
[18:30] <paulus68> ikonia: you are not going easy on me :p
[18:30] <UBunTuluLz> This busybox
[18:30] <escott> Deke, then no
[18:30] <UBunTuluLz> Is showing me before
[18:30] <Deke> dlentz, and what to do when I am there?
[18:30] <bazhang> UBunTuluLz, you're not making any sense
[18:30] <escott> Deke, follow dlentz suggestion and boot to recovery
[18:30] <UBunTuluLz> I putted acpi=off
[18:31] <UBunTuluLz> And nolapci

[18:31] <bazhang> UBunTuluLz, stop with the enter key
[18:31] <UBunTuluLz> sorry
[18:31] <lubasowo1> hello
[18:31] <Deke> escott, what to do when I am on recovery mode?
[18:31] <dlentz> Deke: you choose the 'recovery mode' and boot to root prompt, then remove the driver
[18:33] <lubasowo1> hello all
[18:33] <robotboy> hey
[18:33] <Chartreuse> .rizon.net
[18:33] <Deke> dlentz, «boot» from recovery mode? It gives me the same error.
[18:34] <dlentz> Deke, so it hangs at splash screen?
[18:34] <Deke> dlentz, I misunderstand you. Ok, how to remove the driver from there? I am bad with the console
[18:34] <robotboy> hey what channel for chating?
[18:34] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic robotboy
[18:34] <dlentz> Deke, you had installed fglrx/Catalyst, correct?
[18:34] <robotboy> kk :-)
[18:35] <Deke> dlentz, I am not sure if it is Catalyst, but it was FGLRX

[18:36] <dlentz> it's also helpful to backup your xorg.conf : sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[18:39] <Deke> dlentz, are you there?
[18:41] <Deke> dlentz, sorry, I didn't see you.

[18:47] <here4thegear> so, here's some weirdness... In ubuntu (as root)... when I try to use the 'which' command... for instance which openVPN... I get Illegal option -- Usage: /usr/bin/which [-a] args
[18:47] <here4thegear> which is silly because I didn't add any options.
[18:47] <mcloy> how to add inbound allow rule for firestarter for all ips at :80   ?
[18:47] <here4thegear> basically, I can't use which at all... I've tried which -a openVPN still no joy
[18:48] <escott> here4thegear, check "alias" is which listed there
[18:48] <commanace> Is there an easy way of telling apt-get/dpkg that I have already installed a certain package (manually) and that there's thus no need to install it as a dependency?
[18:48] <slipttees> hi
[18:48] <here4thegear> alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde'
[18:48] <slipttees> lightdm support fingerprint?
[18:48] <GreatDanton> how to upgrade flash bios if you have only linux on your computer?
[18:49] <nabukadnezar43> how do you start daemons at system startup in ubuntu?
[18:49] <GreatDanton> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...IOS_from_Linux       i found this but iam not sure how to use
[18:49] <slipttees> !fingerprint
[18:49] <pkkm> nabukadnezar43, there is an utility called rcconf for configuring which daemons run at system startup.
[18:50] <pkkm> Is there a copy program that would automatically resume copying after a system crash?
[18:50] <escott> slipttees, given that lightdm was supposed to remove all those useless features probably not
[18:50] <slipttees> :'(
[18:50] <escott> slipttees, although you could try setting things up with pam, not sure how lightdm would deal with that
[18:50] <here4thegear> escott: alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde' .. I guess I need to change that but. I don't see which in either .bashrc or .profile... Is there somewhere else that this could be?
[18:51] <slipttees> escott: lighdm sucks =/
[18:51] <GreatDanton> Can anybody help me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1943521
[18:51] <escott> here4thegear, did you change any of these files
[18:51] <ikonia> GreatDanton: can you stop repeating the same question every 2 minutes please, you'll end up getting ignored
[18:52] <escott> slipttees, don't get me started
[18:52] <here4thegear> escott: I don't think so... but I've had this server for a year or so
[18:52] <slipttees> escott: use fprint?
[18:53] <escott> slipttees, theoretically pam can just do its thing, and you would configure pam to require the fingerprint before authorizing. i doubt that lightdm would display anything to indicate that it is waiting on the fingerprint
[18:53] <escott> here4thegear, clearly you have somewhere. so check /etc/profile and /root/.bashrc and others
[18:55] <here4thegear> escott: yes!!! /etc/profile thank you

[19:08] <UbuntuBoy> They are pain in the a...
[19:08] <SubD> some one around that could assist me? i'm trying to rename a file in win7 wich is located in Ubuntu machine, and I get this error trying to rename the file "this is no longer located in \\XBMCLIVE\XBMC-Live\1Tb\Shows\tenp. verify the item's location and try again" but when I check in putty the file is still there. Earlier I tried  to delete the file, but it's still there.
[19:08] <escott> pkkm, rsync
[19:09] <buchsk> SubD - refresh your Win Explorer listing with F5 key
[19:09] <escott> SubD, maybe your samba is not configured to allow deletes
[19:10] <SubD> buchsk: does not work
[19:11] <SubD> escott: I was able to delete about 500gb's but not this one file and it's folders leading to it
[19:11] <buchsk> SubD: per escott, have you ever been able to do the operation on another file?
[19:11] <escott> SubD, check the permissions through putty. are they somehow different
[19:11] <buchsk> n.m.
[19:12] <UbuntuBoy> No one knows? :S
[19:12] <smackme> anyone have a suggestion on faster file transfers over the web besides FTP or SFTP
[19:12] <SubD> escott: I tried to delete the file in putty and I got this "rm: cannot remove `Hackers are people too.avi': No such file or directory "
[19:12] <smackme> something with a web interface preferably
[19:13] <buchsk> Can anyone help? Running 11.10, zeitgeist-daemon is sucking up CPU. What is this about?
[19:13] <ikonia> smackme: you will be limited by your connection speed, ftp/sftp will be the same speed as others
[19:13] <smackme> ftp seems to run at 13kb/s which is horribly slow
[19:13] <smackme> on a 3bmps up load ikonia
[19:13] <ikonia> smackme: just your/targets connection
[19:14] <UbuntuBoy> So there isn't any battery control tool for non-IBM laptops? >.<
[19:14] <escott> SubD, something about the filename? maybe a weird unicode character (perhaps that a is not really an a). try deleting by inode (ls -i then feed the inode to find -inum -delete
[19:14] <smackme> on server side 3mbps upload and 3mbps download on client
[19:14] <smackme> but for some reason only getting 13kb/s
[19:14] <ikonia> smackme: could be anything server load, throttling, utilsation, etc
[19:14] <ikonia> smackme: it won't be the application though
[19:15] <SubD> escott: I just made a new folder in that same location, and was able to delete it with out error in putty
[19:15] <smackme> ok i'm gonna do some testing ikonia i guess... i just set up a new server just now. so maybe this will be better than my other one
[19:15] <rhizmoe> how can a drive get mounted without being listed in fstab?
[19:15] <rhizmoe> (as one of mine appears to be doing)
[19:15] <buchsk> SubD: did you have the file open in Windows? If so, it is probably locked yet.
[19:15] <escott> SubD, given the name of the file i suspect its from someone who wanted to be cool and put an unexpected character in the filename. like a random newline in the filename would really screw you up
[19:16] <SubD> escott: I did rm H (then hit tab so the name would automatically come) so that cant be a unicode trouble?
[19:16] <ikonia> rhizmoe: are you running a desktop ?
[19:16] <rhizmoe> ikonia: yes
[19:16] <mcloy> how to know my ip?
[19:16] <aguitel> can i run alternate cd with usb ?
[19:16] <ikonia> rhizmoe: the desktop has "plug and play" tools for disks, so if you insert a disk it will auto mount in user land
[19:16] <rhizmoe> mcloy: ifconfig
[19:16] <escott> SubD, im not sure how it would handle a filename like "foo.bar\n"
[19:17] <ikonia> mcloy: with respect if you don't know how to see your IP address you should not be trying to setup/run a mail server
[19:17] <WHAT_DOWN> can someone help me get wireless working on my laptop? i get "firmware missing"
[19:17] <escott> SubD, deleting by inode should always work so do it that way
[19:18] <aguitel> ikonia, can i run the alternate cd in usb (pendrive ) ?
[19:18] <SubD> escott allright i'll look into that
[19:18] <ikonia> aguitel: sure, if you want to use it as an installer
[19:18] <escott> rhizmoe, udisks
[19:18] <mcloy> ikonia,  iam a php guy. but i need to learn
[19:18] <aguitel> ikonia, unetbootin to make it ?
[19:19] <ikonia> aguitel: sure
[19:19] <aguitel> ikonia, thanks
[19:19] <rhizmoe> ugh
[19:20] <UbuntuBoy> Nvm, got it working. :D
[19:21] <rhizmoe> the proper phrase is not "Nvm," it's "thank you"
[19:21] <SubD> escot: did not work "rm: cannot remove `./Hackers are people too.avi': No such file or directory " is there any possibility that this file could be in the "limbo"?
[19:21] <UbuntuBoy> But no one helped me? :O
[19:22] <Moofius> Hey, a few months ago I had set up ssh with my public rsa on a remote computer and I could just log on by running "ssh user@bla.bla", but now I can't log in anymore
[19:22] <fbdystang> I am getting errors installing ubuntu restricted extras in fresh 11.10, Is it known to be broke?
[19:22] <Moofius> it worked before, and a friend that also has access to the server can still log in
[19:22] <UbuntuBoy> But thank you rhizmoe for being awesome. :P
[19:22] <escott> SubD, have you tried removing it by inode?
[19:22] <nibbler_> Moofius, start with adding -vvv to the ssh command, and see what it spits out
[19:23] <nibbler_> SubD, you got this filename by auto-completion? tabtab?
[19:23] <SubD> escott yes I used " find . -inum 39592 -exec rm -i {} \; "
[19:24] <escott> SubD, -delete not -exec rm. you should never use -exec rm it will almost never do what you want (and its slower)
[19:25] <SubD> nibbler_ yea I tried that earlyer, that did not work either and all it gave me was "sudo rm Hackers\ are\ people\ too.avi " btw nibbler_ are you affiliated by hak5? :)
[19:25] <Moofius> nibbler_: it says debug1: Trying private key: /c/Users/Moofius/.ssh/id_dsa debug3: no such identity: /c/Users/Moofius/.ssh/id_dsa (yes I'm using windows, but this is the best irc channel I could find related to my question)
[19:25] <mcloy> ikonia,      what does25.6.55.5/0         and /31 means
[19:25] <Moofius> but the file does exist
[19:26] <escott> Moofius, dsa? are you really using dsa and not rsa?
[19:26] <ikonia> mcloy: network range
[19:26] <rhizmoe> does windows use .ssh as a directory name now?
[19:26] <rhizmoe> i thought it used to be _ssh or something
[19:26] <escott> rhizmoe, looks like cygwin
[19:26] <rhizmoe> ah
[19:26] <SubD> escott: just get this "find: cannot delete `./Hackers are people too.avi': No such file or directory " when using "find . -inum 39592 -delete "
[19:27] <Moofius> oh, I read the wrong line in the log, well that sucks
[19:27] <nibbler_> SubD, no, i'm not
[19:27] <SubD> nibbler_ ok just wondering ;)
[19:27] <mcloy> ikonia,  where can i read details
[19:27] <ikonia> read details ?
[19:27] <escott> SubD, can you paste ls -ali for us
[19:27] <escott> !paste | SubD
[19:28] <SubD> escott: here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/909188/
[19:30] <escott> SubD, and you can touch and remove in that folder without trouble
[19:30] <Moofius> http://paste.ubuntu.com/909190/ I think I posted the relevant lines this time :)
[19:32] <Moofius> I asked my friend to tail the ssh log and he said: Mar 31 20:37:16 redacted sshd[13415]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=c83-redacted  user=redacted
[19:32] <Moofius> but he had to go
[19:32] <SubD> escott: I havent been able to do anything with that file. but I can create and delete files with in that folder.
[19:33] <tyler_d> SubD: you need to escape the spaces
[19:33] <SubD> tyler_d meaning?
[19:34] <escott> SubD, thats odd. is it possible this file came from an untrustworthy source?
[19:34] <GreatDanton> does anybody know how to upgrade bios on computer which has only linux?
[19:34] <tyler_d> ie. rm -rf 'some\ random\ file\ with\ spaces.file'
[19:34] <escott> SubD, ignore tyler_d he hasn't been following the thread
[19:34] <SubD> ok escott
[19:34] <tyler_d> escott: fair enough, but I'm simply trying to help.
[19:35] <tyler_d> escott: / SubD what is the output of that though?
[19:35] <escott> tyler_d, im not complaining, and appreciate your trying to help. just telling him its not relevant.
[19:35] <SubD> escott: well trustworthy or not it came from torrent, so there is no way of knowing how reliable that source is
[19:35] <escott> tyler_d, there is something else going on here, it cannot be deleted by inode
[19:35] <tyler_d> SubD: / escott lsof thatfile shows?
[19:36] <escott> SubD, its possible its something malicious. you could try as tyler_d running lsof on it, but the error message should be different from no such file or directory
[19:36] <escott> SubD, you might try booting a livecd and deleting it that way
[19:36] <tyler_d> escott: I would swear from the little bit I have seen its simply a syntax thing, what is the name of the file please
[19:37] <escott> tyler_d, no. it cannot be deleted with find . -inum # -delete. its not syntax
[19:37] <tyler_d> escott: SubD: with path please
[19:37] <tyler_d> escott: and doing `ls startoffile*` shows?
[19:38] <SubD> escott: you mean "lsof hacker are people to.avi"? that gave me nothing
[19:38] <rhizmoe> i like how neither current thunderbird nor firefox tar.gz downloads include a README or INSTALL or any standard info files.
[19:38] <tyler_d> SubD: ls -ltr hackers*
[19:39] <SubD> tyler_d escott this is what I get with tab "playman@XBMCLive:/media/1Tb/Shows/tenp$ Hackers\ are\ people\ too.avi "
[19:39] <rebe> Anyone knows why downloading torrents at total speed of 200 KiB/s totaly blocks my 10 MB connection ?
[19:40] <rebe> I can't do nothing else
[19:40] <rhizmoe> ugh. pain.
[19:40] <tyler_d> SubD: do `rm -f "\ Hackers\ are\ people\ too.avi"`
[19:40] <ubu64> rebe too many connections for your router
[19:40] <rhizmoe> rebe: because your upload rate is snuffing it out?
[19:40] <escott> rhizmoe, why are you downloading tar.gz's
[19:40] <FernandoCueva> what about the location entry true in gsettings
[19:40] <rhizmoe> escott: because that's what mozilla offered me
[19:41] <auronandace> !software | rhizmoe
[19:41] <escott> rebe, b/c your isp is throttleing connections? because of bufferbloat? long list of possibilities here
[19:41] <SubD> tyler_d just did " ls -ltr Hackers*" gave me "-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 366624768 2012-03-31 19:32 Hackers are people too.avi "
[19:41]  * rhizmoe is this >< close to installing to ~/bin !
[19:41] <rhizmoe> auronandace: if synaptic offered versions less than two years old...
[19:41] <tyler_d> SubD: are you root?
[19:41] <escott> rhizmoe, are you running 10.04
[19:42] <rhizmoe> yes, it's probably yet another google i haven't properly pursued, but i'm working on it.
[19:42] <rhizmoe> 10.10
[19:42] <SubD> tyler_d nope
[19:42] <tyler_d> SubD: this file is owned by root, so you cannot delete it
[19:42] <auronandace> rhizmoe: 10.10 is end of life soon
[19:42] <rhizmoe> thanks, but beside the point
[19:42] <tyler_d> SubD: sudo rm -f 'Hackers\ are\ people\ too.avi'
[19:42] <SubD> tyler_d so sudo does not work either?
[19:43] <escott> rhizmoe, do you expect internet explorer 9 on windows 95? why would you expect firefox after 10/10 on 10.10
[19:43] <tyler_d> file 'Hackers\ are\ people\ too.avi'
[19:43] <rhizmoe> hey, if windows is the standard of operations, i'm probably barking up the wrong tree
[19:43] <FernandoCueva> I wanna watch that movie
[19:44] <tyler_d> SubD: `file 'Hackers\ are\ people\ too.avi'`
[19:45] <tyler_d> SubD: I would even go as far as to say send me the file and I will duplicate
[19:45] <SubD> tyler_d: sudo rm -f 'Hackers\ are\ people\ too.avi' just drops me back and does not delete the file
[19:45] <escott> SubD, what kind of partition is this file on?
[19:46] <rhizmoe> thunderbird 11.0.1 runs fine from the tgz on 10.10
[19:46] <usr13> SubD: What kind of file is it?
[19:46] <SubD> escott: NTFS
[19:46] <SubD> usr13 it's avi file
[19:46] <escott> SubD, i would boot windows and run chkdsk on that partition. could just be corrupted in some way
[19:46] <usr13> SubD: Have you played it?
[19:47] <SubD> usr13: yeah, but not recently
[19:47] <karen> welcome to the new ubuntu 12 right?
[19:47] <SubD> usr13: the file plays fine, just checked it
[19:47] <karen> My mic won't work in either jack, any ideals? ubuntu isn't very user friendly to configure anything.
[19:47] <escott> SubD, corruption of the ntfs driver would seem to be the most likely explanation. if thats not it i would boot a livecd and try to remove it that way, if you have to boot a livecd i start getting worried that this might be some kind of trojan
[19:48] <escott> SubD, but the file could have some weird ntfs specific thing that is not supported by the linux ntfs drivers
[19:48] <auronandace> karen: 12.04 isn't supported here until its released (help in #ubuntu+1)
[19:49] <karen> ok thank you
[19:49] <FernandoCueva> how was that about changing the location bar to location entry true on gsettings
[19:49] <SubD> escott: damn it, allright I have both XBMC live CD, hirens boot cd and XP and win7 cd's i'll run the check on the cd. man I hope it's not a trojan -.-
[19:49] <escott> !log | FernandoCueva
[19:49] <karen> well that link isn't doing anything is it suppose to send me to the correct chat? <auronandace>
[19:50] <auronandace> karen: /join #ubuntu+1
[19:50] <escott> FernandoCueva, if you want you can install the dconf-utils and use dconf-editor to browse the different flags
[19:51] <tyler_d> SubD: in reading, ntfs has some fuzzy behaviour that isn't quite specified on *nix... what does `fuser` show for the file?
[19:53] <FernandoCueva> that log contains text I wrote last night but not what happened 1 hour ago
[19:53] <SubD> tyler_d: sorry for asking so much questions, but I just do " `fuser` hackers are people to.avi"? just gives me "-bash: Hackers are people too.avi: command not found "
[19:54] <escott> SubD, remove the backticks `
[19:55] <tyler_d> SubD: I think it is `fuser -m 'Hackers....'
[19:55] <tyler_d> SubD: have you taken escott's direction in attempting it from the native OS?.. asummed *dows
[19:55] <meandrain> hi
[19:56] <meandrain> I'm trying to boot a linux on ThinkPad T61 and at boot is freezed after: Starting CUPS printing spooler/server
[19:56] <meandrain> any idea why?
[19:56] <escott> SubD, as a general rule you should never use ntfs unless you have a native windows install to fix it with
[19:56] <home> hello
[19:57] <SubD> allright tyler_d escott i'm going to run chkdsk on that cd
[19:57] <home> i want a windows virtual machine
[19:57] <home> can it be done?
[19:57] <tyler_d> home: I want a million dollars, and yes. virtualbox is easiest I believe
[19:57] <guntbert> home: of course - use virtual box
[19:57] <_r00t_> g'day... How can I tell if I'm running the very latest 12.04 beta ?
[19:57] <SubD> escott: the only reason I used ntfs was becouse I use the win7 machine to download into the XBMC machine and renaming files and so on
[19:58] <home> yes i got virtualbox but i cannot find a virtual machine
[19:58] <guntbert> _r00t_:  ask in #ubuntu+1
[19:58] <escott> SubD, so is it a dual boot system?
[19:58] <auronandace> home: you make one
[19:58] <guntbert> home: virtualbox support in #vbox
[19:58] <_r00t_> guntbert, thankyou
[19:59] <home> i am so excited
[19:59] <haqe17> I have this error trying to ./configure aegisub: configure: error: aegisub requires GL support. What package do I need to install exactly?
[20:00] <SubD> escott: no I have a "server" machine in the living room connected to the stereo and TV which  has XBMC-Live (ubuntu 10.04LTS) installed on, then I just work everything from my win7 machine
[20:01] <escott> SubD, if it is not a dual boot system you should use samba on an ext4 partition. its faster, more secure, and more robust
[20:01] <Guest14049> hi all
[20:01] <escott> SubD, your windows machine doesn't care what fs the samba server uses to store its files
[20:02] <SubD> escott: so the win machine won't start giving me s**** for linking the ext4 partition?
[20:03] <Guest25963> hi
[20:03] <alFReD-NSH> Can someone tells me which package is for installing libgl?
[20:03] <Guest25963> i have a problem
[20:03] <alFReD-NSH> aptitude search libgl outputs a lot!
[20:03] <muelli> alFReD-NSH: check packages.ubuntu.com
[20:04] <muelli> alFReD-NSH: you're probably interested in a -dev package.
[20:04] <alFReD-NSH> i need the so file...
[20:04] <Guest25963> i ll try to install spanish accents
[20:04] <CestSebastian> hey, i have an issue with gnome classic in 12.04, when playing flash in full screen, the gnome panels appear over the flash content, can anyone help me out?
[20:04] <muelli> well alFReD-NSH. then search the site mentioned above for it.
[20:04] <Guest25963> but i can t with xfce xubuntu
[20:04] <guntbert> !enter | Guest25963
[20:05] <Guest25963> ok thanks
[20:05] <Guest25963> i m looking for a solution
[20:05] <alFReD-NSH> muelli: searching the website is same as `aptitude search`
[20:05] <auronandace> CestSebastian: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support, plus i think its called gnome fallback
[20:06] <muelli> alFReD-NSH: well. it's not as you can search for package content.
[20:06] <babble> Guest25963: In Xubuntu, try the Character Map, from the Applications menu. Apps Menu > Accessories > Character Map
[20:06] <trism> alFReD-NSH: you probably just want the mesa -dev packages, although libGL is provided by several packages
[20:06] <CestSebastian> ok, thanks auronandace
[20:07] <Guest25963> i ll try it i have it but i want to have a raccourci
[20:07] <babble> I'm not familliar with that character. Can you show me what one looks like?
[20:07] <hubert__> jap jap
[20:08] <Guest25963> é spanish accent á
[20:09] <babble> accented characters are in the character map.
[20:09] <FernandoCueva> I'm sick and tired of
[20:09] <Guest25963> i know but when i write it take me a lot of time to pick the accented character
[20:09] <FernandoCueva> why do most guides and tutos out there say to run binaries with sh and ./ and at the same time when binarios only need ./ not sh and not both
[20:10] <Guest25963> i want to have a combination
[20:10] <babble> Guest25963: I think I understand what you mean, but give me a moment; let me find the correct character codes for what are - I hope - the accented characters you need.
[20:11] <babble> once that's done, you can make a custom panel with JUST the accented characters you need.
[20:11] <escott> SubD, if the windows machine is not directly connected (by a sata cable) to that disk it will never know what kind of partition it is
[20:12] <babble> Guest25963: open the character map, and search for 00E0 (zero-zero-E-zero) - make sure "Search in Character Details" is checked.
[20:12] <Guest25963> i want a shortcut
[20:13] <babble> remapping your keyboard is doable, but not particularly easy
[20:13] <Guest25963> where?
[20:14] <Honvai> Health. I have joined the IBM-R40 and the (Samsung NP-X120 (no display)) Laptops VGA cable and power cord, and hoped that the ability to improve performance but it has not happened because the drivers are missing. Can I have a program to activate the devices as maximally in blender?
[20:14] <babble> it may be simpler to switch to one of the international layouts temporarily if you must have keyboard controls for these.
[20:15] <babble> have you tried using one of the Spanish keyboard layouts?
[20:15] <linux_noob> Anyone know why they removed xorg.conf -- I can't seem to get display to work anymore without using nomodeset (First install of ubuntu on this comp in a few years)
[20:16] <Guest25963> it put latin small letter a with grave
[20:16] <babble> Guest25963: give me a moment. Let me enable a spanish layout and make sure it'll have easy access to the characters you want.
[20:17] <CharminTheMoose> linux_noob, xorg.conf is still supported, though you'll have to either create one yourself or use X -configure to create a new one.
[20:17] <FernandoCueva> do I need to run .run files as sh scripts
[20:17] <vatueil> hi, I'd like to forward all incoming UDP/TCP packets on port 1234 to another ip. can someone tell me which iptables rules I need?
[20:17] <CharminTheMoose> linux_noob, though xorg should detect hardware automatically.. :P
[20:17] <SubD> escott: allright thanks for that. i'll look into that. but i've started the chkdsk and hoping that it will fix things
[20:17] <linux_noob> it does kinda.
[20:17] <guntbert> FernandoCueva: what are you trying to accomplish?
[20:18] <babble> brb
[20:18] <linux_noob> when I boot in nomode set it tells me that there is a nvidia driver I can install. But when I do my comp hangs on splash screen
[20:19] <FernandoCueva> I'm trying to execute a ati driver
[20:19] <FernandoCueva> and I want to do it the way I was thought that is if it's not a sh script don't use sh but the guide says to type sh and ./
[20:19] <Maciej_> ubuntu pl
[20:19] <Maciej_> Join ubuntu pl
[20:20] <EvilResistance> !pl | Maciej_
[20:20] <Dr_willis> FernandoCueva,  its better to use the ati driver from the repos. Not the 'whatever.run' driver from the ati site.
[20:20] <Maciej_> !pl
[20:20] <EvilResistance> Maciej_:  /join #ubuntu-pl
[20:20] <guntbert> FernandoCueva: sorry, not my field :-)
[20:20] <Dr_willis> FernandoCueva,  to install that one. you would exit out of X, and run sudo sh whateveritscalled.run
[20:20] <Maciej_> Evil thanks
[20:20] <Dr_willis> FernandoCueva,  but it can break things.
[20:20] <Guest25963> thank you babble
[20:21] <delinquentme> grep 'aaas' should search all the files in the current dir for the string 'aaas' right?
[20:21] <escott> delinquentme, grep "pattern" *
[20:21] <FernandoCueva> Dr_willis, out of x means out of the lxde
[20:22] <muelli> delinquentme: well. that searched the actual contents of the files. Not the filenames
[20:22] <karstensrage> what am i supposed to install to get mail working outbound?
[20:23] <delinquentme> muelli yeah thats what I wanted
[20:23] <muelli> hm karstensrage. I think ubuntu installs either exim or postfix by default. You could as well use ssmtp if you have an external mail server to use.
[20:23] <delinquentme> lulz. computers are so fast
[20:23] <karstensrage> muelli, mail is not installed so im not sure what im supposed to install
[20:24] <Guest25963> i m trying to find a solution since 2 pm.
[20:24] <muelli> karstensrage: You mean "mail" is not installed? The program?
[20:24] <Spartan29> Hallo!
[20:24] <karstensrage> right
[20:24] <karstensrage>  mail
[20:24] <karstensrage> mail: Command not found.
[20:24] <Dr_willis> FernandoCueva,  No.. it means NO X running whatsoever.. sudo service lightdm stop (or similer)
[20:24] <muelli> karstensrage: if you have installed either postfix or exim (check i.e. with apt-cache policy), I think it's a matter of dpkg-reconfigure the package.
[20:24] <escott> Guest25963, do you want the compose key?
[20:24] <karstensrage> hmm ok
[20:24] <karstensrage> ill try that
[20:24] <c001> what is the recommended way to disable rpcbind and statd from automatically starting up when I boot up?  chkconfig --list shows them as being "off" in every runlevel.
[20:25] <Guest25963> yes but with xfce xubuntu i can't
[20:25] <escott> Guest25963, you just need to put the compose key rule in your .xmodmap
[20:25] <Dr_willis> bbl
[20:25] <Guest25963> i m a newbie you know for me it dificult
[20:26] <Spartan29> I've a trouble. I can't share files from linux to windows, files are in a folder of an NTFS partition mounted on boot time. What i see is that i can't change folder and than in it contained files. Can someone help me?
[20:26] <babble> Guest25963: okay, I think I have a workable solution for you.
[20:26] <Guest25963> thanks
[20:26] <babble> Guest25963: Are you in Xubuntu (just to confirm)
[20:26] <FernandoCueva> Dr_willis, lxde is the x from lubuntu or am I wrong
[20:26] <babble> ?
[20:26] <Guest25963> yes
[20:26] <Guest25963> xubuntu in a eeepc
[20:26] <guntbert> c001: look for insserv -r  (but please see the man page)
[20:27] <babble> Guest25963: open Settings Manager, and open Session and Autostart
[20:27] <c001> guntbert: thanks
[20:27] <babble> in THERE, go to the last tab (Advanced) and turn on Launch Gnome Services at startup
[20:28] <babble> then go to the Keyboard settings panel and add one of the spanish dead key layouts (I'm using Spanish, Sun Dead Keys)
[20:28] <babble> with both of those enabled, log out and back in (so Gnome services will start, and you'll get the Gnome keyboard switcher in your panel)
[20:28] <Guest25963> my xubuntu is in french and i dont see what i have to open
[20:29] <mcloy> iam using sendmail and php  to send email. but its not sending up. i have allowed port 25 for 0.0.0.0/0     but its not sending any emails.  http://pastebin.com/M6kKLVtZ    need help . how can i check and make sendmail working?
[20:29] <babble> Keyboard should be self explanatory. For Session, give me a moment, and I'll post you screenshots.
[20:31] <Spartan29>  I've a trouble. I can't share files from linux to windows, files are in a folder of an NTFS partition mounted on boot time. What i see is that i can't change folder and than in it contained files. Can someone help me?
[20:32] <babble> Guest25963: open System Settings (I don't know what it will be called in the French localization, but if you're still stuck, let me know and I'll see if I can find its translation)
[20:32] <babble> see here:
[20:32] <babble> http://ubuntuone.com/4jnWrH9ypzIah1YmRupYM2
[20:32] <babble> You want to open the icon next to the screensaver, for Session and Startup (again, this will be something else in your localization, but look for that icon)
[20:32] <escott> Spartan29, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[20:33] <Spartan29> escott, please what should i  do  with ntfs-3g?
[20:34] <Spartan29> escott, please what should i  do  with ntfs-3g? --- i saw 3 secs ago i have already installed ntfs-3g
[20:34] <Guest25963> i open this
[20:34] <escott> Spartan29, then unmount and remount that partition and see if its any better
[20:35] <babble> Guest25963: Okay, if you have Session and Autostart open, go to the LAST tab, called Advanced.
[20:35] <babble> one moment, I have a screenshot for that too.
[20:35] <Guest25963> i charge the services gnome?
[20:35] <babble> see here:
[20:35] <babble> http://ubuntuone.com/0dzFxgXJALwOu7JsO8rVjH
[20:36] <babble> Yes, click to turn on Gnome Services.
[20:36] <FernandoCueva> I'm running the ati driver installer without the x, I'm at the point where is asking me to enter the instalation path and I dont know what to type
[20:36] <mcloy> how can i know that sendmail installed is working and will send mails (i have a phpscript that says it send mails. but actually i never recieve the mail in my inbox) ?
[20:36] <babble> (I also have KDE services, as I have some KDE apps, but don't worry about that for now)
[20:36] <Guest919> Ciao a tutti
[20:36] <Guest25963> ok i have choose gnome
[20:36] <babble> when that's done, let me know, and we'll do your additional keyboard(s) next
[20:37] <babble> okay, give me one more minute, and I'll post another screenshot
[20:38] <babble> Guest25963: See here: http://ubuntuone.com/3D89ufBRcr7FzIVfY720UV
[20:38] <doodaa> hello, is it possible to boot into the installer / live cd from an already booted ubuntu install?
[20:38] <babble> back in Settings Manager, open Keyboard, and choose the THIRD tab, Layouts
[20:39] <babble> add a Spanish language layout - I'm using Sun Dead Keys (you want Dead Keys to type accented vowels)
[20:40] <jamesmichael> hey guys... I've installed proftpd and I'm trying to set it up so that all my local users when they login go to the same FTP directory
[20:40] <Sprocks> is there a way to have grub automatically boot linux instead of just waiting for me to hit enter?
[20:40] <jamesmichael> Sprocks u need to adjust grub timeout to 0
[20:40] <jamesmichael> so it just timesout right away
[20:41] <Guest25963> i dont hqve the sqñe thing thqt the screenshot
[20:41] <Sprocks> jamesmichael GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 instead of =2?
[20:41] <jamesmichael> yep Sprocks
[20:42] <Guest25963> i dont have the same thing that the screenshot
[20:42] <babble> Guest25963: With those things done, log out and back in (so Gnome services will start) and you'll see a keyboard layout chooser up in your panel, in the indicators area
[20:42] <scientes> is there any way for me to reinstall all packages?
[20:42] <scientes> i was using dpkg excludes to get rid of translations, and now i regret that
[20:42] <babble> Guest25963: You need to log out and back in once you enable Gnome services, and the additional layout
[20:42] <doodaa> I updated to 12.04 beta2 but had errors during the upgrade. I can still boot (using it now) but gnome is missing some items (no indicators) and I get errors trying to install files. Rather than spend hours trying to fix, I'd rather do a clean install but I dont have a CD drive (netbook) or have a usb stick to hand, so can I mount the live cd (I have the ISO) and install from within my existing install?
[20:43] <Guest25963> log out is close my pc
[20:43] <scientes> doodaa, !unetbootin
[20:43] <babble> Guest25963: No, from the Application (mouse) menu, choose Log Out at the bottom, and then log back in
[20:43] <scientes> !unetbootin | doodaa
[20:43] <scientes> WTF, that info isn't unetbootin
[20:44] <scientes> which is what i specifically asked for....oh well
[20:44] <scientes> doodaa, anyways, a flash stick is recommended, makes it alot easier
[20:44] <jamesmichael> anyone know how I set up a default FTP directory that all my users share
[20:44] <scientes> doodaa, however you can do that with unetbootin, apt-get install unetbootin, or http://unetbootin.sourceforge.com/
[20:45] <jamesmichael> i want some users to only be able to READ the FTP directory contents
[20:45] <jamesmichael> and some to have write access
[20:45] <zykotick9> jamesmichael: isn't there a defaultroot or something like that in the proftpd config file?  PS. FTP must die ;)
[20:45] <AzizLight> hi everybody
[20:45] <guntbert> !enter | jamesmichael  (and #ubuntu-server might be better suited :-))
[20:45] <SubD> escott: just finished running the chdsk and the file was orphanated, rebooted the server and was able to delete the file. THANKS ALOT :D you just saved me few gray hairs :D
[20:46] <jamesmichael> zykotick9: i'll look there....  it seems to default to everyone's home directory
[20:46] <AzizLight> I am on ubuntu server 10.04 and the os is not letting me create a folder is my home directory, says: mkdir: cannot create directory `apps/ambition/shared/config': Permission denied
[20:46] <escott> SubD, see if you can move away from NTFS, it will save you a lot of headaches
[20:46] <doodaa> scientes, thanks for the pointer. cant install anything in this system, something seems up with the packages. oh well, I'll just have to get a usb stick!
[20:46] <zykotick9> jamesmichael: it's set to ~ by default ;)
[20:46] <AzizLight> anybody have a clue whar might be the problem please?
[20:47] <jamesmichael> zykotick9: yes i want to set it to the same directory for all my users tho
[20:47] <jamesmichael> i cant seem to find that in the config
[20:48] <SubD> escott: lol ok i'll look into that. is there any way to do that with out having to moving all files and formating the HDD?
[20:48] <sebastien__> babble?

[20:49] <guntbert> AzizLight: what is the output of      ls -ld ~    ?
[20:49] <escott> SubD, you would have to move them off that partition and then create a new one

[20:53] <escott> klawd, its probably cc licensed so you most likely can
[20:54] <Koitous> So about three months ago I installed Ubuntu. It took me forever to get the wireless working, but once I did, I found Ubuntu to be decent. I am currently Dualbooting with Vista, and want to replace Ubuntu with Xp. Can I keep Grub? Or do I have to rid of that, too?
[20:54] <guntbert> !here | kinglet
[20:54] <escott> Koitous, keep grub
[20:55] <newbieumbreon> why are you leaving ubuntu Kaitous?
[20:55] <escott> Koitous, in fact "replacing windows" you can just remove the windows partition and repurpose the free space if you want
[20:55] <AzizLight> guntbert: http://pastie.org/private/mvh5nwtoe8p4p3gx7sna
[20:55] <Koitous> escott, I'm not replacing windows though, I'm replacing Ubuntu with XP.
[20:56] <escott> Koitous, sorry misread your comment. if you were happy with ubuntu why do you want to remove it?
[20:56] <Mirrakor> Hi there, can anyone help me install the previous version of a software package?
[20:56] <sebastien__> babble?
[20:56] <guntbert> AzizLight: what system is that? only one folder (and that owned by root) and no folders?

[20:57] <guntbert> Koitous: how is that an ubuntu support question then?
[20:57] <kinglet> I have a LAMP that running Ubuntu-Server 11.10 I've got this error msg while upgrading my box http://paste.ubuntu.com/909290/
[20:57] <kinglet> any idea?
[20:57] <sebastien__> n´
[20:57] <escott> Koitous, in any case if you want to remove ubuntu you have to run fixmbr from within windows (although that may have changed with win7)
[20:57] <kinglet> I've Google but none works for me!
[20:58] <babble> sebastien__: please msg me, and I'll walk you through exactly what I did.
[20:58] <kinglet> Googled*
[20:58] <mrazola> anyone else having brightness resets on a laptop? after dim or after logout...
[20:58] <Koitous> escott, I found it to be alright, but I prefer XP over it immensly. See, my laptop overheats extremely under Vista due to the large load it has. Ubuntu lowers the temperature by a good 40C, so I thought maybe XP, still being windows with windows compatibility, would be the best.
[20:58] <AzizLight> guntbert: it's ubuntu 10.04, a new system so nothing in the home folder except for this folder created by capistrano
[20:58] <Honvai> Be taken into account: When I turn on the computer and I have connected the Samsung NP-X120, and, on IBM R40 in one VGA cable and network cable, then ubuntu logo appears on the screen and then nothing happens. so I have to first remove the wires and then start the computer. Monitor preferences says that the samsung is unknown, and the monitor settings that says: no monitor Supporting DDC / CI available. if your card gradhics need it,
[20:58] <sebastien__> babble: it doesn t work
[20:59] <guntbert> AzizLight: who or what is capistrano?
[20:59] <FernandoCueva> how to find out what x version I have from terminal
[20:59] <yzhd> hi guys. Can I ask a quick question about vlc on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[20:59] <Koitous> Anyways, thank you guys for your time. I'll look into fixmbr.
[20:59] <oliphant> there is a house in capistrano
[20:59] <AzizLight> guntbert: it's a ruby gem to deploy apps
[20:59] <babble> sebastien__: please message me privately. There's a second Sebastian here, and it will be too difficult to use nick complete in the public channel
[20:59] <sebastien__> how can i msg privatly

[21:00] <Rapid2214> Run: export | grep PATH and see the response
[21:00] <Rapid2214> That will show what paths are being run at bash command
[21:01] <guntbert> AzizLight: ok, back to your problem - try       touch somefile     in your home dir    -  I expect an error again
[21:01] <zykotick9> Rapid2214: "echo $PATH" is a more common way to show ones path
[21:01] <ZenGuy311> I'm having issues unraring files on my vps .. it has 11.04 and every time i try to unrar a file it fails ..
[21:01] <Rapid2214> Thanks, I was trying to remember that :)
[21:02] <guntbert> ZenGuy311: "it fails" ? tell us the error
[21:03] <AzizLight> guntbert: it was a misconfiguration of capistrano, the touch command worked and the mkdir worked too now
[21:03] <AzizLight> guntbert: thanks for your help though ;)
[21:03] <ZenGuy311> guntbert: Skipping    d3si-don2-xa.avi
[21:03] <ZenGuy311> All OK
[21:03] <guntbert> AzizLight: glad you made it  - sometimes it helps just to talk about the problem  :-))
[21:03] <zacktu> i have a dual boot windows 7 & ubuntu 11.10 & grub 2 --- i've tried 12.04 as live cd but want to use it persistently -- should i install into another partition or make it virtual?
[21:04] <ZenGuy311> guntbert:  thatws what it does to all the files
[21:04] <kinglet> Rapid2214, the response is: declare -x PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[21:04] <AzizLight> guntbert: I agree lol
[21:04] <Sprocks> how do i get grub to boot ubuntu automatically?
, That seems fine - try: apt-get install ldconfig

[21:05] <ZenGuy311> guntbert:  ok
[21:05] <zykotick9> Sprocks: what is your GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub?  can you pastebin /etc/default/grub for the channel?
[21:06] <Sprocks> 0
[21:06] <kinglet> Rapid2214, unable to locate this package
[21:07] <kinglet> Rapid2214, googling how to install it

[21:08] <Honvai> Has anyone considered this my problem. Could you please help me?
[21:08] <Sprocks> !pastebin
[21:10] <zykotick9> Sprocks: have you run "sudo update-grub" since changing the timeout to 0?
[21:11] <iosolidar> Is there a way to configure the sound applet on gnome3 to represent the real volume? currently when it indicates 100% volume you can still increase the volume from the mixer
[21:12] <Sprocks> zykotick9 yes it wrote the .cfg but warned about menu.lst
[21:12] <ZenGuy311> guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/909315/
[21:13] <zykotick9> Sprocks: menu.lst?  are you using grub-legacy (pre grub2)?
[21:13] <keegsconte> It is possible to increase the volume past 100% in the mixer.
[21:13] <Sprocks> yes it was the one off the mirror at ca.ubuntu.com
[21:13] <keegsconte> But only show 100%.
[21:13] <sepehr> a
[21:14] <kinglet> Rapid2214, hah! I just fixed it by copying /sbin/ldconfig from another ubuntu to mine and give it executation perm. done!
[21:14] <ZenGuy311> guntbert:  i think there maybe a permissions issue because if I mount my vps via sshfs and use my archive manager to extract the files it works .. but its downloading and uploading the extracted file back to the server
[21:14] <iosolidar> keegsconte: i'm aware of that, my question is, if there's a way to configure the applet to show the "real" system volume
[21:14] <kinglet> Rapid2214, thx anyway :)
[21:15] <Rapid2214> Ah fair enough, have fun
[21:15] <Nelg|Ex> is ubontu using wine 1.3 or 1.2 ?

[21:16] <Nelg|Ex> sorry was ganna script a dedicated server for armagetron bye
[21:16] <ZenGuy311> guntbert:  ok

[21:34] <Aruzsi> zykotick9: I've never got any help there, yet.
[21:35] <soreau> GreatDanton: Why do you want to flash your bios?
[21:35] <GreatDanton> i want to upgrade my bios
[21:35] <zykotick9> Aruzsi: it was just a suggestion for libvirt support???
[21:36] <GreatDanton> but because on internet is only flash version
[21:36] <Aruzsi> zykotick9: Is that a question?
[21:36] <GreatDanton> i cant run it in linux
[21:36] <soreau> GreatDanton: What?
[21:36] <zykotick9> Aruzsi: no, it was a reply
[21:37] <GreatDanton> on internet there is only flash version, and i cant run .exe format in linux
[21:37] <Aruzsi> zykotick9: :-)
[21:37] <soreau> GreatDanton: flash version?
[21:38] <GreatDanton> yes
[21:38] <soreau> GreatDanton: You mean adobe flash?
[21:38] <GreatDanton> nope
[21:38] <GreatDanton> you can upgrade your bios of you have windows
[21:38] <GreatDanton> directly from windows\
[21:38] <soreau> GreatDanton: Why do you want to upgrade your bios though?
[21:39] <GreatDanton> because of my graphic card

[21:39] <GreatDanton> here if you want to read the story
[21:40] <GreatDanton> because i read the forums, and they all said its graphic card problem
[21:40] <GreatDanton> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1943521
[21:42] <soreau> GreatDanton: What I'm asking you is why you think your system bios will help your graphics issues
[21:42] <GreatDanton> i dont know. i tryed all other things, and its not better
[21:42] <soreau> GreatDanton: You've tried the latest released version of ubuntu?

[21:47] <escott> phpN00b, there was a fork at one time, but it never became that popular
[21:47] <GreatDanton> Oerheks are you sure it will work on my dell inspiron 1100
[21:47] <phpN00b> escott, do you know the name of the project
[21:47] <phpN00b> ?
[21:48] <OerHeks> GreatDanton, no, i didn't test it, just finding info about your graphic issue
[21:48] <escott> phpN00b, looks like it is available in the next version
[21:48] <GreatDanton> ah, thanks
[21:49] <GreatDanton> Oerheks, what do you think about upgrading BIOS
[21:49] <Ganymede> How would I go about updating an Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS at this point? Ubuntu 9.10 is no longer in the package archives...do I need to point it to the historial package archive or just do a do-release-upgrade?
[21:49] <escott> GreatDanton, do it from windows
[21:49] <GreatDanton> yeah right, but i have no windows on my old laptop
[21:50] <GreatDanton> i dont want to install windows just for upgrading bios
[21:51] <OerHeks> GreatDanton, usually it is an update floppydisk, you can make it on any windows machine.
[21:51] <soreau> GreatDanton: Or try booting with nomodeset kernel option
[21:51] <rebe> When I'm trying to send file from ubuntu to android phone, it says "permision denied (13)" how do I fix that ?
[21:51] <tensorpudding> they don't do floppy updates for bios anymore
[21:51] <tensorpudding> most machines don't have floppy disk drives
[21:51] <soreau> GreatDanton: So far as your system bios goes, I really think it has nothing to do with your graphics issues
[21:51] <tensorpudding> and getting one to use for that purpose would be really troublesome
[21:52] <escott> GreatDanton, you can see if they have a bootable usb updater. sometimes they have that, but otherwise you are stuck with what they give you
[21:53] <GreatDanton> i think they dont have bootable usb
[21:53] <GreatDanton> because its old machine

[22:11] <hiexpo> DarkAngel, just ask your ?
[22:11] <DarkAngel> Ok
[22:11] <escott> draginx, quickest how. what are your goals
[22:12] <hiexpo>  add a user none root
[22:12] <draginx> escott: im just trying to limit this one user to a speicifc directory I dontwant them goinganywhere else
[22:12] <draginx> i dont want them reading files from another directory (unless its a sub dir on the allowed directory)
[22:12] <DarkAngel> I have a minor issue.. I have a Toshiba A3-S611 and everything runs well except I have no sound at all. I was wondering if someone knows any issues with the sound card for this laptop
[22:12] <escott> draginx, a full chroot is hard to make work
[22:12] <draginx> =/
[22:13] <escott> draginx, it can be done, but they need all the binaries and libraries that they will need
[22:13] <draginx> right so jailkit is my best bet?
[22:13] <escott> draginx, so you would have to think carefully what you want to give them
[22:13] <hiexpo> yup
[22:14] <draginx> just sftp tbh
[22:15] <escott> draginx, then you should use an sftp command in auth_keys for one
[22:15] <DarkAngel> hiexpo do you know any issues with soundcards for a Toshiba A3-S611
[22:15] <escott> draginx, and then lock the passwords
[22:15] <hiexpo> DarkAngel, what sound card is it
[22:15] <draginx> hmm ok thanks :D
[22:16] <robotboy> my asus too. sounds bad
[22:16] <escott> draginx, but see this http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/

[22:22] <Rapid2214> MagicJ: if you go into your eth0 settings is 'Connect Automatically' checked?
[22:23] <hi675445> i got yppa for installing program no temanal needeed
[22:23] <Honvai> ERROR: /etc/cpu/cpu.conf:9-12: syntax error
[22:23] <MagicJ> Rapid2214: yes - and isn' t that why it connects when I boot?
[22:24] <hiexpo> yup
[22:24] <hiexpo> unclick auto connect
[22:24] <hiexpo> or mean untick
[22:24] <KM0201> DarkAngel: "new sound device" + "old version of ubuntu" = what did you think was gonna happen?
[22:25] <draginx> escott: u think gitolite/gitosis would just be better for grabbing/uploading stuff? :)
[22:25] <hiexpo> compile the driver DarkAngel
[22:25] <Pelo> good evening folks , I have a small(ish) problem,  I have a bunch of tv series on data dvds ( one season per dvd in avi) and xbmc doesn'T want to play/load them , any suggestions
[22:25] <hiexpo> or compile a newer kernel
[22:25] <hi675445> did u no anunamas use liunx
[22:25] <KM0201> lol, compile the driver, for an OS that will go EOL in about 4 weeks... that makes a LOT of sense
[22:26] <DarkAngel> hiexpo when you say compile the driver what do you mean
[22:26] <hi675445> dos denial of sevese
[22:26] <hiexpo> KM0201, oh forgot it is bye bye
[22:26] <KM0201> DarkAngel: compiling the driver is pointless, 10.10 goes EOL in 4 weeks
[22:26] <hi675445> what eol
[22:26] <hiexpo> end of life
[22:26] <DarkAngel> ok so I should just update to a newer version and see if the sound comes up
[22:26] <Pelo> end of life
[22:26] <lol_no_u> end of lol
[22:27] <KM0201> hi675445: end of life, it will no longer be supported w/ updates, etc
[22:27] <DarkAngel> I will try that and then see what results I get
[22:27] <KM0201> DarkAngel: that would be my suggestion...
[22:27] <hi675445> 12.04 new longe team
[22:27] <hiexpo> or get 10.04
[22:27] <DarkAngel> thanks eveyone for your assistance
[22:27] <KM0201> hiexpo: still not a very good idea IMO.
[22:28] <hi675445> what the next one after 12.04 the shot one
[22:28] <KM0201> if a device doesn't work w/ WinXP, was yoru solution to roll back to win 98?
[22:28] <hiexpo> i still use 10.04  better than whats coming out
[22:28] <draginx> escott: after following these directions http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/builtin/ my user cant login lol =x

[22:30] <amram> im new to ubuntu and i need some help , please
[22:31] <KM0201> amram: just ask your question
[22:31] <KM0201> if we can help, we will
[22:31] <hiexpo> amram, just ask your ? don't ask to ask
[22:31] <amram> how do i put xChat on the desktop?
[22:31] <KM0201> amram: what do you mean "on the desktop"
[22:31] <KM0201> ?
[22:32] <hiexpo> amram, easy
[22:32] <amram> i want a shortcut on the desktop
[22:32] <KM0201> amram: are you using unity?
[22:32] <JuJuBee> I need to install a jre for a web app and am running 10.4.  I installed openjdk-6-jre  how do I configure the system and Firefox to use  it?
[22:32] <amram> i dont know what unity is
[22:32] <hiexpo> just go to internet than right tick it and sdd launcher to desktop
[22:33] <Jon--> After enabled compiz, any <Super> bind I set up with xbindkeys is not working. How can I fix this? Ubnutu 11.10. I don't appear to have anything bound to <Super> using ccsm advanced search. Using gnome-classic
[22:33] <KM0201> amram: does your GUI suck?
[22:33] <KM0201> thats how you know if you have unity or not
[22:33] <Jon--> ^ been trying to get assistance with this for about a week now...
[22:33] <hiexpo> JuJuBee, you need to go to #firefox
[22:33] <JuJuBee> k
[22:33] <amram> what do you mean
[22:34] <lol_no_u> KM0201: lol
[22:34] <KM0201> amram: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[22:34] <KM0201> lol_no_u: i was wondering if anyone caught that...lol
[22:34] <Honvai> http://imagebin.org/206221 Kenno 3.2.13.tar.bz2 is shown on the card
[22:34] <amram> i think its 10 or something
[22:34] <amram> maybe 11
[22:34] <KM0201> amram: open up a terminal
[22:34] <amram> how?
[22:34] <Jon--> amram, ctrl+alt+t
[22:34] <KM0201> how?
[22:34] <Jon--> default hotkey
[22:34] <KM0201> control alt t
[22:34] <amram> ok
[22:35] <amram> done
[22:35] <KM0201> type this in the terminal    lsb_release -a  (make sure there's a space after release)
[22:35] <KM0201> then hit enter
[22:36] <escott> Jon--, gnome in 11.10 does not use ccsm
[22:36] <KM0201> mandje8: did you get lost?...lol
[22:36] <amram> yes
[22:36] <Jon--> escott, That's strange, other hotkeys and settings I have in cssm are enabled and working.
[22:36] <KM0201> amram: "yes" is not an answer, what version are yo uusing?
[22:36] <escott> Jon--, can you paste a screenshot of your desktop so we can identify what you are running
[22:36] <Jon--> escott, For example, I use viewport switcher and bind hotkeys to change workspaces. I also enabled window snap and it's working.
[22:37] <Jon--> escott, It's gnome-classic on Ubuntu 11.10.
[22:37] <amram> ok i have ubuntu 11.10
[22:37] <KM0201> amram: ok, you have unity.
[22:37] <escott> Jon--, that term means a lot of different things over the last three releases
[22:37] <KM0201> amram: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/11/create-desktop-shortcuts-icons-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[22:37] <amram> ok now how do i add a shortcut to the desktop
[22:37] <escott> Jon--, if it is what i think it is then it doesn't use compiz
[22:37] <Jon--> escott, sudo apt-get install gnome-panel on Ubuntu 11.10, chose Ubuntu Classic on login pane.
[22:38] <KM0201> amram: read that link i just gave you, it walks you through the process of desktop icons for unity
[22:38] <escott> Jon--, or you can run "ps aux | grep compiz"
[22:38] <amram> ok
[22:38] <trism> escott: the (no effects) variant uses metacity but the other one uses compiz
[22:38] <Jon--> escott, Not running.
[22:38] <trism> escott: well, at least in 12.04, hmm
[22:39] <escott> Jon--, so you are using metacity or mutter
[22:39] <Jon--> Should I try compiz --replace?
[22:39] <Jon--> It doesn't make any sense to me
[22:39] <escott> trism, im a little confused about what that gnome-panel is. its linked to gtk-3 is just the gtk2 panel that is ported to gtk3 but minus all the widgets or is it the gnome classic mode to gnome-shell?
[22:39] <Jon--> I ran ccsm for the first time since installing Ubuntu 11.10 and now any xbindkeys shortcut that uses <Super> is broken
[22:40] <Jon--> However, the other ones ar enot.
[22:40] <amram> how do i paste commands into a terminal?
[22:40] <KM0201> right click/paste?
[22:40] <Jon--> amram, ctrl+shift+v
[22:40] <mcloy> how to exite from telnet?
[22:40] <amram> doesnt work
[22:40] <Jon--> mcloy, try ctrl+d
[22:40] <KM0201> amram: i right click/paste in a terminal all the time.
[22:40] <Jon--> amram, it should work on gnome-terminal. You can always right click.
[22:40] <escott> Jon--, see if metacity is running. ps aux | grep metacity
[22:40] <Jon--> escott, yeah
[22:41] <Jon--> again pretty sure I used metacity as my wm before and didn't have this issue
[22:41] <amram> oh ok it worked
[22:41] <KM0201> \o/
[22:41] <amram> thanks for your patients
[22:41] <escott> Jon--, the defaults for many common actions are shared between the two which is why you think you are changing metacity shortcuts but you probably need to change those through gconf/dconf
[22:41] <trism> escott: it is both, it is the old gnome-panel ported to gtk3, it is also the fallback mode for gnome-shell (using metacity), and the applets are still there, some may not work though if they haven't been ported to gtk3
[22:41] <mcloy> Jon--,  nop
[22:41] <amram> its installing something
[22:41] <Jon--> escott, I haven't touched metacity shortcuts, I'm using xbindkeys to setup keyboard shortcuts
[22:42] <Jon--> mcloy, ctrl+c
[22:42] <escott> trism, wasn't there for a time a gnome-shell/mutter based "look and feel of gnome 2" but it really used mutter/shell/javascript?
[22:42]  * KM0201 hates keyboard shortcuts
[22:43] <mcloy> Jon--,  nop
[22:43] <Jon--> mcloy, open a new terminal, ps aux | grep telnet  paste results into pastebin
[22:43] <trism> escott: there is cinnamon that linux mint uses (and there is a ppa for ubuntu around somewhere), which does that to gnome-shell
[22:43] <mcloy> Jon--,  ctrl+ ] then q
[22:43] <Jon--> escott, For example, I have a script I wrote that makes a window take up the left/right side of the screen. I bound this to <Super>+left. After running ccsm, it no longer works. Metacity is the wm, I can't find <Super>+x bound to anything in ccsm search
[22:45] <Jon--> escott, AFAIK, my setup is using Gnome3 with metacity and gnome-panel instead of unity on top. Gnome2 emulated environment really.
[22:45] <escott> trism, i guess im confused about the relationship between gnome-shell fallback mode and the gnome-panel gtk3 port.
[22:45] <escott> Jon--, so thats not gnome3 as i understand it. you mean gtk3 with a gnome-panel gtk3 port
[22:46] <Jon--> Yes
[22:46] <MonkeyDust> escott  i use gnome classic, i guess it's the same as gnome falback
[22:46] <Jon--> The fallback is gnome-shell
[22:46] <Jon--> By installing gnome-panel, you get a gt3k port
[22:46] <Jon--> (I believe)
[22:48] <escott> Jon--, yeah im as confused as you. in any case i would install dconf-utils and change the shortcuts there. or see if you can find metacity preferences elsewhere
[22:48] <Jon--> escott, will that allow me arbitrary shortcuts to binaries I've written myself?
[22:48] <Jon--> That is what is broken, not system keybinds.
[22:48] <escott> Jon--, i dont see why it shouldn't
[22:48] <Jon--> Why is xbindkeys broken?
[22:49] <trism> the gnome-shell fallback mode is just gnome-panel with metacity for the moment, although there is work on software rendering in gnome-shell so they can phase out gnome-panel eventually, I don't know how that is progressing
[22:49] <Jon--> It works for other hotkeys seems to be a conflict over a few of them (Super+arrow keys, for example). This happened after running ccsm for the first time
+q is also broken
[22:52] <Jon--> Oh fuck me.
[22:52] <pangolin> !language | Jon--
[22:52] <Jon--> I'm an idiot.
[22:53] <Jon--> xbindkeys wasn't running, but it had the old keybinds still in place (somehow?)
[22:54] <escott> Jon--, because they are bound at the X server level
[22:54] <hi675445> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4boTbv9_nU&feature=relmfu
[22:54] <Jon--> escott, That's cool.
[22:54] <roddenberry> hello all
[22:54] <Jon--> how can I drop something in startup that will run regardless of wm/de?
[22:54] <Jon--> rc.local ?
[22:56] <escott> Jon--, xsessionrc?
[22:56] <roddenberry> bot invite escott
[22:57] <ghostnik11> i let update manager update my flashplayer version and now i can't watch flash videos, how can i go back to the version before update manager updated
[22:58] <hiexpo> ghostnik11, go to adobe and get the latest version for ubuntu
[22:59] <hiexpo> issue with linux ghostm
[22:59] <pangolin> escott, may I PM you?
[22:59] <hiexpo> oops forgot to tab
[22:59] <ghostnik11> hiexpo, i did that but now only certain flash videos like youtube work but others like veoh don't work
[22:59] <escott> pangolin, sure
[23:00] <ghostnik11> hiexpo, before they all worked, i want to revert back to before update manager updated my flash player version
[23:00] <hiexpo> ghostnik11, you have all the codecs like mediabuntu ?
[23:01] <ghostnik11> hiexpo, don't think i have mediabuntu will check
[23:01] <hiexpo> add that repo
[23:02] <hiexpo> what ver you using  ? ghostnik11
[23:02] <ghostnik11> hiexpo, 11.10 and i did a fresh install
[23:02] <ghostnik11> hiexpo, there is no mediabuntu in synaptic
[23:03] <hiexpo> ghostnik11, it's not in there \
[23:03] <hiexpo> google it   ghostnik11
[23:04] <dlentz> it's medibuntu (no a)
[23:04] <hiexpo> add  mediabuntu  ubuntu 11.10
[23:04] <pangolin> hiexpo, you know better then to tell people to google it
[23:04] <ghostnik11> hiexpo, am looking up the codec on medibuntu site for 11.10, can i run a check for these codecs via terminal
[23:04] <dlentz> and i don't think installing it is going to revert flash
[23:04] <Honvai> I'm going
[23:06] <hiexpo> \:) at pangolin > why do there home work for them
[23:06] <pangolin> hiexpo, because if he knew how to find it he would have and not come here for help
[23:06] <pangolin> ghostnik11, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[23:06] <Honvai> so if you can turn off my computer
[23:06] <hiexpo> it is what it is
[23:07] <pangolin> hiexpo, Do we need to go through this again.
[23:07] <hiexpo> nope
[23:07] <pangolin> We appreciate the help you provide but we require you provide it within the channel guidelines
[23:07] <smg60231> Hello, I am having some issues with my flash drive on linux server. I am getting an error: No Caching mode page present. Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing it? Would buying a new Flash Drive resolve the issue?
[23:08] <hiexpo> nope > I know you so simple
[23:08] <Guest23013> I have a laptop with on board graphics and a graphics card. Ubuntu seems to want to use the on board anyway to change this?
[23:08] <hiexpo> andyou know me   :)
[23:08] <Guest23013> nvm
[23:09] <ghostnik11> pangolin, hiexpo, i think i know how to solve problem will purge my computer of flash player then reinstall it via adobe site. because i should have all of the medibuntu codecs because this was a fresh install
[23:10] <pangolin> ghostnik11, fresh install does not use any medibuntu repos.
[23:10]  * hiexpo   smiles
[23:10]  * dlentz still thinks medibuntu is completely irrelevant to the issue
[23:10] <the_real_crimper> should window dragging be sluggish? or is this a problem wtih the graphics card drivers? it seems like they're installed properly, althought i'm not sure
[23:10] <hiexpo> he needs dvdcss2
[23:10] <pangolin> ghostnik11, install the deb file from the adobe site and also install ubuntu-restricted-extras if you want from the software center
[23:11] <pangolin> dlentz, you are right, medibuntu is completely irrelevant
[23:11] <smg60231> Hello, I am having some issues with my flash drive on linux server. I am getting an error: No Caching mode page present. Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing it? Would buying a new Flash Drive resolve the issue?
[23:11] <Moofius> Lol, I guess that's why I could not log into ssh

[23:12] <hiexpo> Moofius, bites to be you
[23:12] <pangolin> Moofius, also off topic for this channel
[23:12] <dlentz> hiexpo, install dvdcss  script comes with libdvdread4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[23:13] <hiexpo> dlentz, no it don'tanymore
[23:14] <dlentz> hiexpo, i'm using precise/12.04 and it comes there (remember, i said install script)
[23:14] <hiexpo> just did a fresh today dlentz and no libdvdcss2
[23:14] <dlentz> you have to run the script
[23:14] <schnuffle> smg60231: No Caching mode page present shouldnt be a problem
[23:14] <dlentz> usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[23:14] <escott> hiexpo, for legal reasons the deb cannot automatically install the whole thing. you have to do that manually
[23:15] <smg60231> schnuffle: when I cd into media and ls after this error comes up, my flash drive isn't there.
[23:15] <schnuffle> smg60231: apparently it just means yout stick doesnt support caching so its not used
[23:15] <cowslammer> i have a fresh install of 10.04 (lucid) and it doesn't do wifi.  the system replaced was also 10.04 and wifi worked fine.  can anyone tell me how to fix it?
[23:15] <schnuffle> smg60231: That means your stick isn't mounted automatically?
[23:16] <dlentz> cowslammer, do you know what wireless chipset?
[23:16] <hiexpo> exactly escott
[23:16] <smg60231> schnuffle: oh? Then, could you be so kind as to give me the process to mounting it? I am new to non gui lol...
[23:17] <hiexpo> because of rights
[23:17] <schnuffle> smg60231:  First check which device it is, then it can be mounted with: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mdedia/myusb
[23:17] <cowslammer> dlentz it's a broadcom
[23:17] <Honvai> Could you close to my computer because I do not manage the pace
[23:18] <KM0201> there's only like 15 different broadcom devices
[23:18] <pangolin> Honvai, Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[23:18] <dlentz> cowslammer, do you have net access on the machine in question?
[23:18] <schnuffle> smg60231: Automoutning is done by udev. So either udev is not running, the package usbmount is not installed or some other problem
[23:18] <hiexpo> Honvai, wha you mean ?
[23:18] <pangolin> Honvai, open a terminal and type: sudo shutdown now
[23:19] <hiexpo> pace of what?
[23:19] <KM0201> Honvai: actually, you'd want to sudo shutdown -h now i'm pretty sure
[23:19] <smg60231> schnuffle: so, in order to mount the usp I enter "sudo mount /dev/sdc1/media/myusb"? And, what do you mean check which device it is?
[23:19] <Guest4831> Just installed ubuntu 10.04. my wireless on dell inspiron 1525 keeps disconnecting every two minutes. Installed bc4 driver twice and rebooted it. same results
[23:19] <Guest4831> so frustrated
[23:20] <Guest4831> please help
[23:20] <smg60231> schnuffle: I mean, I can't find the usb listed so I don't know what it is on the system =\
[23:20] <Honvai> I am not going to shut my computer itself I will leave it to your handled
[23:20] <FernandoCueva> how do I disconnect a pccard
[23:20] <hiexpo> Guest4831, what wireless card is it ?
[23:20] <pangolin> Honvai, We don't do that.
[23:20] <Guest4831> dell broadcom for inspiron 1525
[23:21] <KM0201> loll
[23:21] <schnuffle> smg60231: /dev/sdXY will be the device your usb stick is connected. sudo fdisk -l will list all device. mount will show the mounted devices. Now you have to sort out which device is your usb stick and then you can mount it
[23:21] <hiexpo> get a grip Guest4831 what wireless card is it I askrd you ?
[23:21] <schnuffle> smg60231: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB should explain it
[23:22] <cowslammer> dlentz i have net access
[23:22] <Guest4831> wireless 1395 wlan.. is this what you're looking for hiexpo
[23:22] <hiexpo> no
[23:22] <smg60231> schnuffle: Oh, okay. Thank you so much for the help! I am a newbie to terminal, I appreciate it a lot!
[23:22] <Guest4831> how do I find out what type card I got
[23:23] <hiexpo> who made the wireless card

[23:26] <KM0201> well, bed time folks, i'm tired
[23:26] <KM0201> good night
[23:26] <Honvai> pangolin: drove directly to the mud puddle and bought a nearby coffee shop
[23:26] <Shirakawasuna> So, I found something on stackoverflow that addressed the issue I have - youtube videos (flash) have pink -> blue (people are blue). I followed the recommendations, but no go - I can't actually edit flash settings because the dialog is unclickable
[23:27] <Shirakawasuna> sorry, was askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue
[23:27] <Shirakawasuna> anyone know what else I can try?
[23:27] <dlentz> Guest4831, search synaptic for linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless
[23:27] <juliohm> oh, forget i found a more appropriate channel i think
[23:27] <Shirakawasuna> I've already switched to the html5 player, but ideally I would like to fix flash
[23:30] <amram> i cant get this channel on my windows machine
[23:30] <rubbs> I'd like to find a way to easily add a list of ips to a system at once. I have a file containing 1 ip per line. I'd like to know if there's an easy way to add all those ips at once, if they all have the same netmask etc.
[23:31] <cowslammer> dlentz, i think i found the answer in a ubbotu answer to someone else
[23:31] <zykotick9> Shirakawasuna: i'm just curious, do you use nvidia graphics?
[23:37] <Felishia> I'm tired of going to a cyber cafe to download as many packages (deb) as I can and then when i go home I notice there's always a another deb I need, and then again and again, and it's been like that the whole day :(
[23:38] <Felishia> isn't there a easier way?
[23:38] <tensorpudding> Felishia, there's an offline apt tool
[23:38] <tensorpudding> the easier easier way is to get an internet connection on your machine
[23:38] <Felishia> I know, but that's what I can't do...
[23:39] <Felishia> I try downloading the packages
[23:39] <Felishia> but there's always another one I need
[23:39] <bodi> pangolin, why did you kick me I did not realize I did something wrong If I did I am sorry     <
[23:39] <Felishia> and I've been running the whole day trying toget them
[23:39] <zykotick9> Felishia: check "/msg ubottu aptoncd" and "/msg ubottu offline".  No "easy" way i'm aware of.
[23:39] <tensorpudding> Felishia, http://apt-offline.alioth.debian.org/
[23:40] <pangolin> bodi,  you are hiexpo?
[23:40] <tensorpudding> it's available in ubuntu form
[23:40] <Felishia> ok I'm checking that out... but I'm not experienced I must say
[23:40] <JuJuBee> How do I get my torrent client vuze to open torrents via the magnet link?
[23:41] <tensorpudding> dang, it's an alioth page
[23:41] <tensorpudding> meaning that it's probably without any decent documentation or navigation
[23:42] <zykotick9> tensorpudding: what is alioth exactly?  do you have a short definition/description?
[23:42] <Felishia> http://apt-offline.alioth.debian.org/ how do I download the files from there
[23:43] <tensorpudding> alioth is what debian uses for project hosting
[23:43] <Felishia> or what's that exactly? :P
[23:43] <Felishia> just been 2 days with linux, soz... I'm superbegginer
[23:44] <dlentz> Felishia, how are you installing the .deb's? apt-get should take care of dependencies, then it's just a matter of remembering to get everything while you're at the cafe
[23:44] <tensorpudding> it's similar to sourceforge, but for debian projects
[23:44] <Felishia> I just double click the files and the manager does it
[23:45] <Felishia> however I can't get python 3.2-2
[23:45] <Amram__> hi
[23:45] <tensorpudding> double click the files in what?
[23:45] <Felishia> because of a problem when installing gcc
[23:45] <Felishia> the deb files
[23:45] <tensorpudding> i thought you were downloading debs directly
[23:45] <tensorpudding> well, anyway
[23:45] <Felishia> and the manager opens them
[23:45] <Felishia> :s gcc4-4 says something about the cache
[23:46] <tensorpudding> the idea with apt-offline is that you generate a "shopping list" of sorts on the ubuntu machine
[23:46] <zykotick9> Felishia: you "probably" shouldn't be trying to manually install a gcc version...  just sayin'
[23:46] <tensorpudding> then you take that list and run apt-offline from whatever machine you're downloding packages from
[23:46] <tensorpudding> and it'll fetch the files for you
[23:46] <Felishia> how
[23:46] <tensorpudding> you'll need a thumbstick and the ability to run a program off of the thumbstick
[23:46] <Felishia> sorry I'm confused
[23:47] <tensorpudding> also i can't tell if apt-offline supports windows
[23:47] <tensorpudding> which is what i'm assuming the cafe computers use
[23:47] <Felishia> I'm working on lubuntu
[23:47] <Felishia> and I really need python 3-2-2
[23:48] <Felishia> I suppose apt-offline is supported by lubuntu
[23:48] <tensorpudding> not having an internet connection on your lubuntu machine is a real problem
[23:48] <Felishia> yes it is
[23:48] <tensorpudding> apt-offline is not officially supported in any capacity by canonical
[23:48] <tensorpudding> anyway
[23:48] <Felishia> and the countdown on this internet cafe is almost in zero, I'll have to say bye :(
[23:49] <Felishia> ahhh but I'll try to come back later, someday... because you guys has been very helful n_n thank you so much
[23:49] <tensorpudding> oh, it turns out to be written in python, it'll work in windows
[23:49] <tensorpudding> well
[23:49] <dlentz> Felishia, good luck
[23:49] <Yick> Is there anyone here works in the IT department ?
[23:49] <tensorpudding> probably not at the cafe since they won't have python
[23:50] <tensorpudding> does ubuntu sell cd sets?
[23:50] <Felishia> thank you have a nice night...!!! or day!
[23:50] <tensorpudding> that would work
[23:50] <Felishia> my computer doesn't have a cd unit
[23:50] <dlentz> Yick, i used to work in tech support, does that mean i get paid if i fix your issue?
[23:50] <Felishia> gotta go just 1 minute left... :( hope you all have a nice day
[23:50] <zykotick9> tensorpudding: canonical sells cds but there isn't the entire repo on dvd like some other distros have :(
[23:50] <Yick> dlentz: my issue is a big issue though
[23:51] <Felishia> bye bye
[23:51] <dlentz> yeah, Felishia needs a distro on a usb stick
[23:51] <dlentz> !ask | Yick
[23:51] <pycoderf> hi all. is setting up lubuntu as an ltsp server any different from the default ubuntu?
[23:52] <Yick> dlentz: are you working in an IT deprt now ?
[23:53] <dlentz> no, my job got outsourced and i went back to working at the store :\
[23:54] <Yick> dlentz: that sucks. i need to find someone that can help me connected to microsoft.
[23:55] <dlentz> oh, well i worked for Sun, so we dealt with Solaris anyway :)
[23:55] <smg60231> schnuffle: Hello again, lol. Sorry to bother you once again but... I tried sudo fdisk -1 and terminal states "fdisk: invalid option --'1'" . Any suggestions? =\
[23:55] <dlentz> it's lower-case L (not number '1')
[23:55] <mcloy> how to remove a dir?
[23:56] <Yick> dlentz: do you know anyone has connection to Microsoft ?
[23:56] <Foxandxss> mcloy: rm -r
[23:56] <Foxandxss> but care, rm is dangerous enough :P
[23:56] <dlentz> Yick, no, i'm pretty much a social hermit nowadays
[23:56] <felixd> never rm -rf / ;]
[23:56] <amram> anyone have any idea why the audio and video stopped working completely over the internet both on firefox and chromium ????
[23:57] <smg60231> dlentz: oooh... well, that makes sense lol. Thank you, I apologize for my... seemingly outrageous ignorance xDD . Off again lols...
[23:57] <EvilResistance> felixd:  please don't even mention that command here
[23:57] <EvilResistance> dangerous commands are dangerous :P
[23:57] <felixd> EvilResistance :] that was first and last one ;) I wrote it here ;)
[23:58] <felixd> hehe ;]
[23:58] <amram> anyone???
[23:58] <Yick> dlentz: how about any connection to Mark Shuttleworth ? long times ago i initiate names like Ubuntu and Redhat so forth..
[23:58] <Foxandxss> when I started with rails, I used the "rvm" command a lot" but 90% of time I wrote "rm", so I put my server in danger
[23:58] <dlentz> Yick, i don't think i can help you... :\
