[00:01] <josten> After installing all updates, how do I get rid of the old versions such as the kernel version 3.0.0-12, I now have 3.0.0-17, but grub still gives me the option to boot the old one.
[00:03] <FireStorms> Anyone have problem with LTS Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04, keeps saying Firefox is already running when it is not,
[00:04] <xangua> FireStorms: kill the procces
[00:05] <uglyoldbob> how do i get gcc3 for ubuntu 10.04? I'm compiling linux-2.4 for a really old computer
[00:05] <bagels> Why can't I find the assistive technologies settings anywhere? Using version 12
[00:05] <sidney> xangua, http://paste.ubuntu.com/910861/
[00:06] <FireStorms> kill process?
[00:07] <sidney> FireStorms, alt + f2 issue command kill and the name
[00:08] <FireStorms> thank you, did work
[00:10] <bagels> like, I can't find the onscreen keyboard, I can't zoom in on my screen, anything.
[00:10] <TorbenBeta> bagels, for ubuntu 12. use #ubuntu+1
[00:10] <smg60231> I am having a bit of an issue. Port scanners are saying that all ports on my network are closed, even though I have them forwarded and everything. Any suggestions?
[00:10] <bagels> oh thanks
[00:10] <bagels> sorry :D
[00:11] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: port scan from a computer inside your network?
[00:12] <smg60231> uglyoldbob: Not quite sure how to do that. I did use Linux to check and make sure it wasn't blocking anything, which it wasn't... and neither is windows.
[00:12] <smg60231> uglyoldbob: Just download a port scanning program or something?
[00:12] <plut0> why am i getting this error when copying certain files? Value too large for defined data type (75)
[00:13] <sidney> smg60231, http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
[00:13] <smg60231> sidney: Ran this scan, says all ports are closed
[00:14] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: angry ip scanner will run on windows
[00:14] <uglyoldbob> that will help determine if the router is forwarding correctly
[00:15] <smg60231> uglyoldbob: Thanks, downloading now.
[00:15] <uglyoldbob> or if you are scanning from linux, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-port-scanning/
[00:18] <smg60231_> back, restarted brwoser lol
[00:19] <OvermindDL1> So why might pulseaudio be randomly dying, it instantly restarts itself but anything using audio needs to be restarted to use the new pulseaudio process.  Using 11.10
[00:19] <airstrike> hi..
[00:20] <airstrike> for some reason, screen kills the current ssh connection when i do C-a c
[00:20] <OvermindDL1> It does this about once an hour while listening to something
[00:20] <klumur> hello
[00:21] <uglyoldbob> E: Couldn't find package gcc-3.3. Anybody know how to install gcc4 and gcc3 on ubuntu-10.04?
[00:21] <plut0> why am i getting this error when copying files? Value too large for defined data type (75)
[00:22] <smg60231_> The Angy IP Scanner found no open ports as well
[00:22] <Pseudoephedrine> Im trying to run 'apt-get update' but keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/910874/
[00:22] <uglyoldbob> plut0: what is the file size and what filesystem are you copying to?
[00:23] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: that means the ports on the computer are not open
[00:23] <plut0> uglyoldbob: 158mb copying to xfs
[00:23] <Yaaaaaa> upgraded to 12.04, my sound still works but now alsa mixer says: cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument
[00:23] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: you used the internal ip address (perhaps 192.168.bla.bla)?
[00:24] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Yes, I used the internal IP
[00:25] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: It report [n/s] for ports
[00:25] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: ok check configurations on the computer then (firewall + is server application running/working)
[00:26] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Firewall on windows is up now, but had no results with it down anyway.
[00:26] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Firewall on ubuntu is set to accept all
[00:26] <uglyoldbob> the server is windows or linux?
[00:26] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Server is running

[00:27] <Blue1> chsados: what version of ubuntu?
[00:28] <chsados> the newest one
[00:28] <Blue1> chsados: have you tried...backport?
[00:28] <chsados> 11
[00:28] <mintman> smg60231_:  and Pseudoephedrine  getting same errors might be a repository change for security check out ubuntu or firewall issue??
[00:28] <media> hi
[00:28] <chsados> i have not blue1 im ubur linux noob im just used to clicking an icon to install drivers :S
[00:29] <Blue1> chsados: this may/may not help:  http://pkill-9.com/getting-wireless-connect-to-work-for-acer-aspire-on-ubuntu/
[00:29] <Pseudoephedrine> mintman: how would i go about doing that?
[00:29] <media> any one can help with ffmpeg?
[00:29] <Blue1> chsados: this is more a medium knowledge level - if you are a n00b may not be for you.
[00:29] <smg60231_> mintman: He has the same problems as me, eh? Ports are all closed it says? damn lol
[00:29] <chsados> where can i get some noob help?
[00:29] <drecute> what's the safest way to install ubuntu-server on ubuntu-desktop?
[00:30] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: http://pastebin.com/wb22xb02
[00:30] <Blue1> drecute: makes no sense.
[00:30] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: sorry, not to sure how to interperate that lol
[00:30] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: what services are you trying to run on the server?
[00:30] <drecute> Blue1: how do you mean?
[00:31] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: TeamSpeak 3 server Listening on UDP 9987
[00:31] <drecute> I want the server and desktop on the same machine
[00:31] <Blue1> drecute: they are incompatible.  that said I installed ubuntu desktop and whatever else I wanted - I created a lamp -- linux, apache, mysql, php, dns and ftp server
[00:31] <drecute> except I will have to go ahead and install the server packages individually?
[00:31] <plut0> why am i getting this error when copying files? Value too large for defined data type (75)
[00:32] <drecute> ok
[00:32] <drecute> cook

[00:33] <buttscicles> Is there any way to recover a file I deleted using the rm command?
[00:34] <Quantum_Ion> 11 more days until they releasr 12.04 Ubuntu Linux LTS
[00:34] <Blue1> Quantum_Ion: i will prolly  wait till then may 1, till they get some of the bugs ironed out.
[00:35] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: the log suggests that the teamspeak server is not running on your server, can you get a log file for it?
[00:35] <Quantum_Ion> Blue1, Good advice
[00:35] <Blue1> i have to do something, as 10.10 his end-of-life this month (no april fool)
[00:35] <Blue1> s/his/hits/
[00:35] <lol_no_u> how to dim screen when idle? i mean not blank, just dim it
[00:35] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Not quite sure how to do that, but I can prove that it is running lol.
[00:35] <lol_no_u> some gsettings magic?
[00:36] <Quantum_Ion> Blue1, Still running 10.04 LTS lol
[00:36] <Blue1> Quantum_Ion: my folks are on 10.04 and my other box is on debian squeeze
[00:36] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: the log is perhaps in ~/server.log
[00:37] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: http://pastebin.com/ykqJryBM
[00:37] <Quantum_Ion> Blue1, Are your folks your parents ?
[00:37] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Running over SSH with no GUI, so I am not quite sure how to actually pull up the log for you =\
[00:38] <mintman> uglyoldbob: can the just connect directly to the ISP to make sure it is just a server issue and not a repository issue with ubuntu??
[00:38] <uglyoldbob> nano ~/server.log or cat ~/server.log | more or nano ~/server.log
[00:38] <lol_no_u> netcat it
[00:38] <lol_no_u> lol
[00:38] <Blue1> Quantum_Ion: yes they are in their 80's have been running Linux now for about 3 years.
[00:38] <Quantum_Ion> Blue1, Wow
[00:38] <Blue1> Quantum_Ion: private message ok?
[00:39] <rybnik> Hey fellas anyone care to give some feedback on http://radiant-fog-5434.herokuapp.com/# it's bare bone for now…. I would just love some comments on the concept.. It's a free online service that I'm currently developing … feedback is most appreciated :)
[00:39] <Quantum_Ion> Blue1, sure
[00:39] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: "tail ~/server.log" might also work well
[00:40] <Yaaaaaa> upgraded to 12.04, my sound still works but now alsa mixer says: cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument
[00:40] <briankb> how do I add a program shortcut on the menubar if the program doesn't show up in unity search? I want to make a shortcut to /usr/local/bin/xbmc
[00:40] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: I entered the command in the wrong directory and now it wont let me exit lol
[00:40] <smg60231_> I keep entering ^X

[00:42] <hellyeah> hey
[00:42] <JelloPop> rybnik: What is this service for other then images... I thought that is what Google images is for ! 8)
[00:42] <plut0> why am i getting this error when copying files? Value too large for defined data type (75)
[00:42] <hellyeah> i am usingn ubuntu 12.04

[00:42] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Mind enlightening me on how to exit this thing? xD
[00:42] <hellyeah> hey is there anyone who use irssi
[00:42] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: which one did you use?
[00:43] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: nano ~/server.log
[00:43] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: ctrl + x
[00:43] <JelloPop> smg60231_: ctrl + x or ctrl + q
[00:44] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Ah, thanks
[00:44] <keitt> pickles
[00:44] <rybnik> JelloPop: This is currently a front end… the main Idea is to build a Wordpress plugin and perhaps a MS/Open office plugin … so that when a user writes an article … a report a presentation… push a button and receive image suggestions based on his content, these suggestions should also allow a user to easily discover what license is associated with them…. and well it saves you the "lets try this search… nahh this other one… nah
[00:44] <rybnik> this other one…" effort when looking for the right content for your text
[00:44] <keitt> what?
[00:45] <keitt> what is this exactly?
[00:45] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Entering that command in the correct directory brings up a blank screen
[00:45] <rybnik> keitt: asking me ?
[00:45] <keitt> i am confused
[00:45] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: However, from what I showed you, the server is running.
[00:46] <rybnik> keitt: about the service? I'm not sure you're talking to met lol xD
[00:47] <uglyoldbob> hmm can you show me the server.ini?
[00:47] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Do the same thing I just did? As I said, I am using no GUI and am not sure how to bring such files up without one lol.
[00:47] <keitt_> what?
[00:48] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: sorry for my newbiness lols
[00:48] <keitt_> any one here?
[00:48] <keitt_> o
[00:48] <tyler_d> I am a meet popsicle
[00:48] <tyler_d> meat 2
[00:48] <smg60231_> keitt: Hi hi
[00:48] <keitt_> tyler? is it? but what is this website?
[00:48] <JelloPop> rybnik: Good Luck,  Srry I dont have much use for a app that tells me IMage is Licensed.. Of course I dont right for maginzines or newspaper or printed material or website developer... Good Idea just not much use to a average chap.. :)
[00:48] <keitt_> we can take pictures?
[00:49] <keitt_> hi smg
[00:49] <keitt_> can some one tell what is going on?
[00:50] <keitt_> i am lost
[00:50] <keitt_> ugh this just popped up
[00:50] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Using the command you gave me, nano (directory), nothing comes up with server.ini either.
[00:50] <rybnik> JelloPop: Thank you for your feedback! :) I'll give it a though about how the service targeting :)
[00:50] <keitt_> hey do any of you have a vivitar camera
[00:50] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: no connections have been made to it yet, as no users can connect to it but me lol.
[00:50] <hypn0> are we all keitt - lost
[00:50] <tyler_d> I think the majority of this banter is really just !offtopic
[00:51] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: server.ini should be in the same folder as the executable is
[00:51] <keitt_> i g2g i don't wanna be in this convo
[00:51] <keitt_> and this is confusing
[00:51] <keitt_> bye :)
[00:52] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: I cd'd into that directory and gave the command that you told me to enter... the screen that comes up is blank.
[00:52] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: ls
[00:52] <Yaaaaaa> I am on 12.04 ( I know someone said go to ubuntu+1 but no one is there) any ideas why my sound works ( and everything shows up in pavucontrol) but alsamixer does not work says. cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument, just need a point in the right direction...
[00:52] <JelloPop> rybnik: Selling point is there! Just finding the audience is the question to use the app.. Might pose the idea to Ubuntu forums..
[00:53] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: http://pastebin.com/V7pQavDt
[00:54] <JelloPop> rybnik: combining ur idea with a imagining app might make it a more functional idea!
[00:54] <rybnik> JelloPop: I'll try yo make the service and the API stable then I'll try yo kickstart some Libre Office plugin :) and se if the community cares to help :)
[00:54] <rybnik> JelloPop: imagining app…? Care to develop further your idea?

[00:57] <adrien2> any one know how to set refresh rate in ubuntu 11.10 with unity?
[00:58] <adrien2> part of my screen is off and there's no way to set it
[00:58] <jlb181> sab0: I use the Janitor in Ubuntu Tweak, it works.
[00:58] <JelloPop> rybnik: I was figuring adding it to like GIMP letting user know he is editing a graphics that has copyright!
[00:58] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: http://pastebin.com/uxZkbcah
[00:58] <FernandoCueva> what is the command to eject a pccard that is to disable its power so I can remove it safely
[00:58] <adrien2> i mean, part of the screen is off the screen
[00:58] <adrien2> in other window managers changing the refresh fixes it.
[00:59] <jlb181> sab0:  http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[00:59] <sab0> jlb181, i will try now
[01:00] <jenesaispas> hello there
[01:00] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: cat logs/ts3server_2012-04-01__22_23_43.614560.log
[01:00] <quuxman> this is bizarre: If I run "mplayer song.mp3" on VT1, it plays fine (using ALSA), but if I do  exactly the same in a terminal in X, it fails
[01:00] <rybnik> JelloPop: Hmmm i think that is farfetched for the scope I'm aiming…. I mean, you wan't to have suited images given a text. Editing them.. hmmm I'm having trouble picturing it. But perhaps It's just my crappy coffee wearing out… I'll think about what you propose!
[01:00] <quuxman> prints a bunch of alsa errors, starting with: [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
[01:01] <jenesaispas> I'm testing ubuntu 12.04 beta 2. Altought it worked at first, language support doesn't do anything anymore. Whatever language I put first or install, english is kept... doesn't appear to do anything... why?
[01:01] <quuxman> (when running from X11). Note that I'm not actually quitting X, just switching to VT1, and it works
[01:01] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: http://pastebin.com/FtuedMeN
[01:02] <quuxman> there must be some environment variable that's confusing the alsa audio out plugin
[01:03] <JelloPop> rybnik: NO I was not referring just to scope of defining text usage, but on the user side of editing images never seen any image editing program detail that u are using copyrighted material.. I think maybe ur scope is narrowed to image use in Office... Instead of just using images in general...
[01:03] <quuxman> except env doesn't show anything related to alsa. Has anybody else run in to something like this?
[01:04] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: what linux distro is installed?
[01:05] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Linux Ubuntu 11.10 server
[01:06] <drecute> which is most popular method of joining ubuntu to AD?
[01:06] <JelloPop> rybnik: Ur assuming the user doesn't use GIMP before placing the image in his/her document for pixels, resolution,turn image back and white.. There could be lots of effects added to image before putting it in the document!
[01:07] <rybnik> JelloPop: ahhhh now I see it!
[01:07] <rybnik> JelloPop: thank you! :)
[01:07] <JelloPop> rybnik: Good Luck! Lick the idea! :) Hopefully we see it soon ;)
[01:08] <JelloPop> lick =like
[01:08] <JelloPop> ops
[01:08] <rybnik> JelloPop: jajajaj XD I'll give it a try I'll let you people know XD Thank you for you time and effort!

[01:11] <jlb181> double
[01:11] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: I disabled ufw, however when I tried allow 9987 via ufw it didn't work. I can try again, however.

[01:16] <jlb181> sab0, I would assume you need to install that dependancy first.
[01:18] <uglyoldbob> sysRPL: try kubuntu that has kde?
[01:19] <jlb181> sab0: you can install that from the Ubunut software Center

[01:22] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: im looking right now
[01:23] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Ah, thank you so much.

[01:30] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: so I now see the server has the appropriate ports open. what is the network configuration for the server?
[01:31] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Sorry? What do you mean?
[01:31] <jiggawookie> why can only root run alsamixer ? my user is part of the 'audio' group.....
[01:31] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: I have the server ran through a router into a modem, I can give you it's IP's and what not but what do you mean it's network config aside from that?
[01:32] <uglyoldbob> does it have a dynamic or static ip address?
[01:32] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Oh oh, sorry about that. LAN = Static, WAN = Dynamic.
[01:32] <uglyoldbob> ok good
[01:32] <uglyoldbob> what router?
[01:32] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: WNR2000
[01:33] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: By the way, I have a DUC that reflects the IP as a hostname and updates it, if that is relevent at all.
[01:33] <uglyoldbob> im not familiar with DUC
[01:34] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Dynamic Updating Client, updates a hostname to reflect a dynamic IP. Basically everytime my IP changes the DUC updates the hostname accordingly.
[01:34] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: so you are forwarding tcp ports 10011, 30033, and udp port 9987?
[01:34] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Yes
[01:36] <uglyoldbob> are you on a computer that is in the LAN?
[01:37] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Yes
[01:38] <uglyoldbob> can you connect using the static LAN IP (teamspeak client) ?
[01:39] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Yes I can, always have been able to yet WAN connections don't go through
[01:40] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: i should have the teamspeak client in 5 mins
[01:40] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Oh, thanks owo, thanks so much xD
[01:42] <lucasfl> Is there a way to choose which Apps use the dark variant of Adwaita in Gnome 3?
[01:44] <FernandoCueva> I don't want to use fuser I want to safely remove the device from terminal what is the command
[01:44] <FernandoCueva> a usb drive
[01:46] <balactus> bash autocomplete not working right for me in konsole, it work some of the time but not other times
[01:46] <balactus> if i type mount /mnt/f
[01:46] <balactus> [TAB]
[01:46] <balactus> it will autocomplete, but if i type sudo mount /mnt/f it will not
[01:46] <balactus> and if i su to root directly, it will work, so i know root recognizes the path
[01:47] <balactus> its just not consistant behavior, it will work some other time but not others, it dont seem to be working right
[01:49] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: what is the address for the teamspeak client?
[01:49] <FernandoCueva> ts3
[01:49] <sacarlson> balactus: maybe that user isn't in sudoers list?
[01:50] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: reignmari.no-ip.org
[01:51] <balactus> thatsx not the problem sacarlson
[01:51] <sacarlson> balactus: try sudo whoami ;
[01:51] <balactus> the problem is that bash autocomplete 'halfway works'
[01:51] <balactus> it works half of the time
[01:51] <sacarlson> balactus: oh ok got ya tab to autocomplete the line
[01:55] <FerchoLP> Hi. I leave my notebook for a few minutes and when I came back it was frozen. Black screen and nor ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2, either ctrl alt del did anything. I had to force it off with power button. THe question is, which log file can I read to try to figure out hat happened? I tried with dmesg logs and syslogs files but I've found anything. Any ideas where else can I look for?
[01:56] <FerchoLP> *left
[01:57] <i7c> FerchoLP: suspend / hibernate? sometimes doesn't go quite well
[01:57] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: well the only thing left to check is port forwarding rules on the router
[01:57] <balactus> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/30827/how-does-bash-path-completion-work-with-sudo
[01:57] <FerchoLP> nono, it shouldn't go to suspend or hibernate. It should just start the screensaver
[01:58] <balactus> this was my exact problem, i found it sacarlson
[01:58] <balactus> issue is with bash-completion package
[01:58] <balactus> i guess it has different explicit rules set for certain commands like sudo
[01:58] <FerchoLP> I left it with the lid open and I haven't set it up to go to suspension nor hibernate :/
[01:58] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Hm, I forwarded the ports on the router... not quite sure what else to check on there unless I am missing something? Sorry, bit of a newb I am lol.
[01:59] <balactus> generic stuff like path completion that should alwayts work has some explicit rules messing with it there
[01:59] <sacarlson> FerchoLP: might be in screen saver try disable or increase the time see if the problem goes away,  if it changes then might be some part of that
[01:59] <balactus> ill have to look at that
[01:59] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: And interesting bit of info... when my windows firwall is on, "canyouseeme" reports "Timed Out"
[01:59] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: But when it is off, "canyouseeme" reports "Connection Rejected"
[01:59] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: http://tinygrab.com/ get a screenshot of the port forwarding config
[02:01] <FerchoLP> yes, I have had problems with the screensavers before (in other laptop). I don't remember if they froze the pc, but probably that was the problem this time. the only other user program that was running was gchrome.
[02:01] <FerchoLP> I'll try disabling them
[02:02] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: checking for updates, xD
[02:03] <rgravener> so 32 bit is only certified on devices?  how bout 64-bit?
[02:06] <fishcooker> hello fellas..
[02:06] <fishcooker> is there any different performance on sata/ide when we are install the brand new ubuntu on single partition rather than multiple partition?
[02:06] <fishcooker> [i dont talk about installation on Virtual Machine stuff]
[02:06] <fishcooker> any one with that experience?
[02:09] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: http://grab.by/cT3e
[02:09] <cookie> Hey guys. I am wanting to get an antenna for wireless signals (i live in the mountains, need the longest range possible)
[02:09] <mister2> hey, is there any ubuntu one-alike for mediafire?
[02:10] <cookie> however I know that not all antennas are supported
[02:10] <cookie> so whats the longest range antenna that is supported by ubuntu?
[02:10] <i7c> fishcooker: you ask if ide and sata have different performances?
[02:10] <Nullifi3d> cookie: ubuntu is not the limiting factor
[02:10] <uglyoldbob> fishcooker: only of the hard drive is faster than ide i believe
[02:10] <fishcooker> no no i7c
[02:10] <cookie> Nullifi3d: then what is the longest range antenna that I can get? google isn't helping
[02:11] <fishcooker> single /multiple partition
[02:11] <Nullifi3d> cookie: antennas arent really the problem
[02:11] <fishcooker> of course ide slower than sata
[02:11] <fishcooker> :p
[02:11] <i7c> :p
[02:11] <Nullifi3d> they are partly the solution, but the main factor is the strength of your wireless adapter
[02:11] <Nullifi3d> cookie: http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUSO36NH-Wireless-Long-Rang-Network/dp/B0035APGP6
[02:11] <fishcooker> uglyoldbob: LoL
[02:11] <mister2> Nullifi3d: can't you have an externally powered antennae?
[02:12] <cookie> Nullifi3d: so what do I need to do to yield the longest range for my laptop?
[02:12] <Nullifi3d> the problem is signal strength
[02:12] <Nullifi3d> you need a powerful enough transmitter/receiver... or repeater... to get a signal
[02:12] <Nullifi3d> or amp. or whathaveyou
[02:12] <mister2> and is there a mediafire client? a la ubuntu one, preferably
[02:13] <cookie> Nullifi3d: I dont know much about this stuff... what is a repeater?
[02:13] <i7c> cookie: range extender
[02:13] <Nullifi3d> its a dumb device that reads a signal and repeats it much stronger
[02:13] <Nullifi3d> thats what most cell phone towers are
[02:14] <uglyoldbob> fishcooker: sure sata is faster than ide. can a go-cart go 70 mph just because i put it on the interstate?
[02:14] <Nullifi3d> cookie: http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-NT-TL-ANT2424B-2-4G-24dBi/dp/B003CFATOW
[02:14] <Nullifi3d> that is a high gain directional antenna
[02:14] <fishcooker> ssd or even RAM would be the best choices uglyoldbob
[02:14] <fishcooker> :p
[02:15] <Nullifi3d> cookie: because water's resonating frequency happens to be 2.4ghz, depending on how humid it is your effective range will change
[02:15] <Nullifi3d> but on a nice sunny, dry day, between that antenna and the adapter i linked, you could get a signal from up to 1.5-2 miles away
[02:15] <vortmax> myth
[02:15] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: so the lan ip address of the server is 10.0.0.3 ? try "ifconfig" on the server
[02:15] <cookie> Nullifi3d: at the bottom is shows everything that is bought together...is that everything I need you think?
[02:16] <Nullifi3d> no
[02:17] <Nullifi3d> if you want to pursue this option, cookie, you will need the wireless adapter, the antenna, and something like this http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Reverse-Weatherproof-Connector-TEW-L202/dp/B000EREM6C/ref=pd_rhf_dp_shvl6
[02:17] <Nullifi3d> thats it
[02:17] <Nullifi3d> and perhaps a pole to mount the antenna on if you want
[02:17] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: http://pastebin.com/iqn8yNfr
[02:17] <cookie> Nullifi3d: thanks so much
[02:18] <cookie> Nullifi3d: this is the adapter? http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-RP-TNC-RP-SMA-Adapter-TEW-AMBA/dp/B000NZNTVE/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_c
[02:19] <CellTech> I'm about to ditch linux forever if it doesn't stop using up all my ram within a couple min... Nothing has changed. Same system as forever. But the ram useage is getting bad. What can I do to fix it?
[02:19] <Nullifi3d> cookie: yes but you will also need a cable that connects that adapter to the wireless adapter
[02:20] <i7c> CellTech: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[02:20] <Nullifi3d> cookie: http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Reverse-Weatherproof-Connector-TEW-L208/dp/B000FICJ8S/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_b includes both the adapter and the cable
[02:21] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: ok goto whatismyip.com and compare that to what the router says its public ip address is
[02:21] <i7c> CellTech: install htop and check ram, it shows free ram without disk caching memory.
[02:21] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: tell me if the match or don't match
[02:21] <cookie> So these 4 things (i think its actually 5) but 4 things to buy and I should be good to go right?
[02:21] <cookie> Nullifi3d: ^
[02:22] <Nullifi3d> yeah
[02:22] <CellTech> Well how do I make it just stop using it up? Windows never gave me these problems. I switched because i was sick of the crashing. Other then that Windows is the best with ram
[02:22] <Nullifi3d> on ubuntu you might run into driver issues
[02:22] <Nullifi3d> but nothing that shouldnt be hard to handle
[02:22] <Nullifi3d> ie. simply compiling drivers should do the trick
[02:22] <cookie> Nullifi3d: thanks again so much
[02:22] <i7c> CellTech: it is not necessary to change anything since that ram is available.
[02:22] <Nullifi3d> np
[02:23] <Nullifi3d> i have a similar setup i used to mess with on my laptop
[02:23] <CellTech> What I'm sayingi j bnhvbv
[02:23] <i7c> CellTech: you have htop installed?
[02:23] <CellTech> What I'm saying is. I can be on the computer for like 10min. Fast and perfect. Then like 10min later. It's slower than hell and it's annoying
[02:24] <i7c> CellTech: check processes, check what needs a lot of CPU and RAM
[02:25] <anthropos> CellTech, using all your ram is a feature, not a bug. unused ram is wasted ram.
[02:25] <sacarlson> CellTech: you will need to isolate what is using the ram,  run top to find out
[02:25] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Uhm, are you speaking in terms of the server? If I log onto the router from the server it will give me the server WAN IP but... I don't have a GUI and can't.
[02:25] <anthropos> CellTech, linux uses the extra ram you have to do useful things like disk caching
[02:25] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: I am on the router via my windows system, and have it's WAN IP
[02:25] <CellTech> Well it's annoying and I'm about to just go back to windows
[02:25] <anthropos> CellTech, it's not the reason your computer is becoming slow (the kernel 'using up' all your ram)
[02:25] <anthropos> it's probably attributable to some application you are running or a driver issue
[02:26] <anthropos> again, unused ram is wasted ram.
[02:26] <CellTech> Than god for open source right? How can I rewrite it to not do anything like that
[02:26] <balactus> ring3 apps like web browser (firefox) arent supposed to make x11/kernel freeze either
[02:26] <balactus> but thery do
[02:26] <CellTech> Linux is supposed to be fast and reliable on older systems.
[02:26] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: you can log into the router from any computer
[02:26] <anthropos> CellTech, did you check the cpu/memory usage of the applications? which application is being a hog?
[02:26] <balactus> the real world is quite different form 'supposed to'
[02:26] <anthropos> CellTech, linux is. again, this has nothing to do with the linux kernel
[02:26] <CellTech> Right now. It's more of a boat anchor
[02:26] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: does it match the ip from "whatismyip.com"
[02:27] <JelloPop> CellTech: May not be using the right version for older computer
[02:27] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Sure, but I am not sure how to log onto my router from a server with no GUI. I don't know a command I can enter to log onto my router owo
[02:27] <anthropos> CellTech, type top, and figure out which process is slowing things down
[02:27] <CellTech> Top where?
[02:27] <i7c> CellTech: well try to use the advice you are given here and check what needs ram/cpu with top or htop. if you dont want to, go back to windows. #windows is your friend then.
[02:27] <anthropos> CellTech, in the terminal.
[02:27] <anthropos> CellTech, it will list all the processes, sorted by cpu use. you should also look at memory use
[02:27] <anthropos> which top will also report
[02:27] <CellTech> K. What am I looking for?
[02:27] <sacarlson> CellTech: you can also clear cache if needed like when you run virtualbox;  sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[02:28] <anthropos> the columns labeled cpu and memory
[02:28] <JelloPop> CellTech: Going way to fast...Ur under standing of linux is off.. Mostly because ur using one distro
[02:28] <anthropos> or something to that effect
[02:28] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: as long as you are on a computer on the same LAN as the server, you will get the correct results
[02:28] <CellTech> VIRT?
[02:28] <anthropos> %CPU %MEM
[02:28] <CellTech> Xorg
[02:28] <anthropos> CellTech, how much cpu & mem is it using
[02:28] <reach> what does "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:28] <reach> E: _cache->open() failed, please report." means
[02:28] <CellTech> 1.2 and 2.0
[02:28] <anthropos> CellTech, 1.2 % and 2 % is very reasonable
[02:29] <anthropos> it is not the problem, right now. is your computer acting slow?
[02:29] <CellTech> Yes
[02:29] <haux> What is the proper syntax for chmod to give write permissions to a directory and every file within it?
[02:29] <JelloPop> CellTech: how old is this computer?
[02:29] <anthropos> well, nothing is using up all the cpu or memory. so that isn't the problem.
[02:29] <CellTech> Built for xp pro
[02:29] <i7c> CellTech: type free -m in the terminal and write what -/+ buffers/cache line says
[02:29] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Oh, alright then. Well, 69.81.156.107 | 69.81.156.107
[02:29] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: IP's match
[02:29] <anthropos> CellTech, you could tyr installing iotop and see if anything is makign al ot of disk access
[02:30] <anthropos> but running out of memory is not the issue, evidently.
[02:30] <CellTech> I switched back to chromium because FF was slower than ever. It was the worse for ram
[02:30] <JelloPop> smg60231_: I figured by now u got this problem fixed with this router??
[02:30] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Nope =\
[02:30] <anthropos> presently, nothing is using more than 2 % of your ram, CellTech
[02:30] <anthropos> provided Xorg is the max
[02:30] <CellTech> Chromium bounces up to 14
[02:31] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Port scans say all of the ports on my network are closed... and I still can't open them. Can't accept any WAN connections coming into my server.
[02:31] <JelloPop> CellTech: Try xubuntu, might be the graphics in just this new Ubuntu interface
[02:31] <CellTech> That's what I'm actually on
[02:31] <CellTech> and it's pathetic
[02:31] <anthropos> chromium using 14 % of your ram should not result in a noticable slowdown, regardless.
[02:31] <reach> how can i make my computer run alot faster
[02:31] <anthropos> CellTech, try running gnome-system-monitor
[02:31] <haux> What is the proper syntax for chmod to give write permissions to a directory and every file within it?
[02:31] <JelloPop> smg60231_: Why are u using server in the first place????
[02:31] <CellTech> Well there's like 7 chromium-browse in the list
[02:31] <yeats> reach: seen this?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/226361
[02:31] <anthropos> haux, write permissions to whom?
[02:31] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: what modem is the router connected to?
[02:31] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Because I am running a server o.o
[02:31] <i7c> CellTech: that's normal
[02:32] <haux> anthropos, myself. After a reinstall, there's a directory that is only writeable by root.
[02:32] <JelloPop> smg60231_: Do u have like 10 computers hooked upto some lane???
[02:32] <CellTech> Well what can we do that'll 'flush' the RAM when it's not in use. Like it's supposed to be. Random Access... Not fill it up and force a restart
[02:32] <smg60231_> uglyoldbob: Eh, couldn't give you a model # atm. I'll have to go look if you like, it's a Cisco, I go through Earthlink (Time Warner Cable)
[02:32] <anthropos> haux, what d irectory
[02:32] <anthropos> CellTech, this does not appear to be a ram issue. i don't know why you are convinced it is
[02:32] <i7c> CellTech: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[02:33] <i7c> CellTech: pls read it. it will light you up.
[02:33] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Eh? No, I simply rather use no GUI for simple things like a server, when it works correctly. I figured it made sense that I host a server on a server OS o.o
[02:33] <JelloPop> CellTech: I think system needs lighter distro
[02:33] <i7c> JelloPop: he just went back to windows.
[02:33] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Also, I am still not quite sure this is a problem with Ubuntu, but a problem with my router/network.
[02:33] <haux> anthropos, a directory a created prior to the reinstall. I just need to know how to use chmod properly... I must not be understanding something. sudo chmod +w -R dirname   isn't doing anything
[02:33] <balactus> what is a 'server os'
[02:34] <haux> Oh crap
[02:34] <anthropos> haux, to do it recursively just for oyur user: chmod -R u+w directory
[02:34] <haux> I need to use chown don't I...
[02:34] <anthropos> but yes
[02:34] <anthropos> you probably want to chown it
[02:34] <JelloPop> i7c: virus scan that computer...
[02:34] <smg60231_> balactus: Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, an Operating System designed to run as, or host a server.
[02:34] <haux> Facepalm
[02:34] <balactus> i dont understand
[02:34] <anthropos> chown -R user:group <directory>
[02:34] <i7c> JelloPop: huh?
[02:34] <anthropos> change the group as well as the user
[02:34] <balactus> are you saying a 'non server os' is not as efficient at handling computing/io resources
[02:34] <balactus> i dont see the point of a 'server os'
[02:34] <balactus> unless its bells and whistles
[02:35] <balactus> are you claiming there is some architectual difference
[02:35] <anthropos> are you referring to ubuntu server, balactus
[02:35] <JelloPop> smg60231_: what are u hosting??? a webpage?? what??
[02:35] <balactus> anthalamus, im referring to anything you're calling a 'server os'
[02:35] <anthropos> it is just a distribution of linux tailored toward servers. there is nothing inherently different baout it
[02:35] <haux> anthropos, yeah. I got it, thanks. chown -R haux:haux UBUNTU_HOME. I don't know what I was thinking
[02:35] <anthropos> i don't think there is any such thing as a pure "Server OS" and i would never use such a term
[02:35] <balactus> ok thats what i wanted to know
[02:35] <anthropos> but there are distributions of linux that are intended to be used on servers
[02:35] <balactus> i mean im not using windows desktop for a server
[02:35] <smg60231_> JelloPop: VoIP. Windows is laggy as hell, and any GUI on the system is laggy as hell, so I run Ubuntu Server with no GUI.
[02:36] <balactus> but the os should be the same efficiency at handling hw resources
[02:36] <balactus> thats what i was getting at
[02:36] <anthropos> linux is linux
[02:36] <anthropos> ubuntu desktop and server both run on the linux kernel
[02:36] <chris_> Anyone familiar with applying the mac os theme for ubuntu 11.10?  I tried to do it but can't seem to get it right
[02:36] <anthropos> it's just a different installer, different default configuration, differne't set of applications installed by default, etc.
[02:37] <JelloPop> smg60231_: good luck! Dont see were ur going with this? I wish u the best! :)
[02:37] <i7c> chris_: why? :(
[02:37] <smg60231_> JelloPop: I am confused as to where you are going with this o.o . I've run the server on Ubuntu Server for two years, and am just now having a problem. Standard Linux Ubuntu comes with a hefty GUI that lags my system.
[02:38] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Linux Ubuntu Server does not... makes sense, no?
[02:38] <balactus> you can always remove x
[02:38] <balactus> do a minimal install
[02:38] <balactus> and build what u need from there
[02:38] <smg60231_> balactus: Last time I did minimal the system refused to boot
[02:38] <balactus> heh
[02:38] <reach> smg60231: huh, could you elaborate?
[02:39] <smg60231_> balactus: Also, why do that if I don't have to.
[02:39] <smg60231_> reach: As in, it began to load and then froze up. Every time.
[02:39] <JelloPop> smg60231_: No, I would use slakcware or Arch Linux, but thats me! If u want the best desktop then u use the best desktop.. Not a server for a desktop.. Puzzled to ur concept...
[02:39] <balactus> i dont see how x itself is lagging your system
[02:39] <balactus> you coudl try installing a more minimilist desktop environment
[02:39] <balactus> like fluxbox
[02:39] <balactus> instead of the gnome/kde crap
[02:39] <balactus> if that isnt running that should make things leaner
[02:40] <balactus> u can still use kdm/gdm
[02:40] <smg60231_> JelloPop: I am not using a server for a desktop, I am using a server for a server. I think you are misunderstanding me. I am here on my desktop with Windows seven talking to you. This is the computer I actually use.
[02:40] <uglyoldbob> smg60231: can you get the model number of the modem?
[02:40] <balactus> or whatever login manager u prefer
[02:40] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Meanwhile, my server is in another room, and I am connected to it over SSH.
[02:40] <chris_> hello
[02:40] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Not being used as a desktop o.o
[02:40] <smg60231_> JelloPop: If it was, I would have a GUI... but it isn't, and it lags with one, so I don't o.o
[02:41] <JelloPop> smg60231_: Well I would not use Ubuntu server, Slackware, Debian make more sense..
[02:42] <chris_> i7c_:  I don't know I followed the steps, but am not getting the right results
[02:42] <JelloPop> smg60231_: That is my personel choice and not to say Ubuntu server wont work just as well..
[02:42] <smg60231_> JelloPop: I would ask you why, but I wouldn't understand. Look, I'm a newb to all of this lol. I simply know how to start up my DUC and server, and a few basic commands. Other than that, I am mostly Windows. I have used Ubuntu previously, and it has worked for 2 years... so I continue to use it. Sorry, I don't know much about anything else lol.
[02:43] <anthropos> this is #ubuntu so I don't understand why people are being told not to use ubuntu server...
[02:43] <smg60231_> JelloPop: I have never used anything else but Ubuntu. I am confused enough as it is, and know the pure basics... I'd rather grasp this before going on to something else lol.
[02:44] <smg60231_> anthropos: Was sorta thinking that but... didn't want to say anything. And also... I don't want to argue o.o I am confused as is. uglyoldbob was being so kind as to assist me in some network troubles I am having...
[02:45] <balactus> uglyoldbob, is that what you call ollydbg :P
[02:45] <JelloPop> smg60231_: U need help suggest looking at LInuxquestions.org have lots of material and may take a day or two but someone will answer ur question...
[02:46] <JelloPop> smg60231_: go to linuxquestion.org furoms post there are 100's of users using servers there..
[02:46] <chris_> Would anyone mind helping me figure out my theming issues on ubuntu 11.10?
[02:46] <Roey> Hey all, I'm using OpenVPN to pipe traffic from my laptop in Starbucks through my server at my apartment.  The VPN connection only works when I disable the fw on the server, so it's definitely something in the firewall.  Can you look it over for me please?  Here are the rules in iptables-restore format:   http://pastebin.com/LngiW03F ; and here are some extra rules I execute after loading with iptables-restore:  http://past
[02:46] <Roey> ebin.com/PtmFGtdS
[02:47] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Possibly I will, however... this IRC is here for Linux help and discussion, right? So there is no problem with me being here either, I don't think >.>
[02:47] <JelloPop> smg60231_: Good Luck! Wish u the best :)
[02:47] <anthropos> Roey, did you check the firewall logs to see what is being rejected?
[02:48] <anthropos> Roey, if you use ufw, there should be a ufw log in /var/log
[02:48] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Thanks :)
[02:49] <Roey> anthropos:  just iptables/netfilter
[02:49] <chris_> Anyone familiar with theming ubuntu 11.10?  I'm using gnome tweak and have somewhat the same result as online, but for some reason its not right
[02:49] <LaterMan> Chaka Khan
[02:49] <Roey> anthropos:  oh, I do have a /var/log/ufw.log, and it's empty
[02:50] <anthropos> Roey, k. you can try to log the packets you drop/reject and then turn the rules on piecewise
[02:50] <anthropos> i don't know offhand what openvpn requires you to open, but that method should work quite generally
[02:50] <Roey> how can I enable/disable logging?
[02:50] <anthropos> there is a log target
[02:50] <Roey> wellll I opened ports 1994 tcp and udp
[02:50] <anthropos> which you can substitute for reject/deny
[02:50] <anthropos> er, reject/drop
[02:50] <Roey> oh, true.
[02:50] <anthropos> honestly, if you turn the rules on one at a time, you prob. don't even need to log.
[02:51] <Roey> true.
[02:51] <anthropos> but if you're impatient jsut put them all to log and then turn it on
[02:51] <Roey> brb
[02:51] <crshbndct> hey chaps
[02:51] <LaterMan> how about a nice link on why upgrading to 12.04 fails on a freshy ubuntustudio 11.10 install :D
[02:51] <trendlogic> pagi
[02:51] <balactus> i dunno, what exactly fails
[02:51] <anthropos> logging is useful too for the case where the default policy (e.g. drop) or a very general rule is blocking access
[02:51] <balactus> is the problem during reboot
[02:51] <balactus> what do you mean by' fails'
[02:51] <Roey> anthropos:  well logically it would appear that it is MISSING a rule to allow something OUT
[02:52] <Roey> because I have a big rule at the top rejecting all packets
[02:52] <LaterMan> una momento it will only take a moment to get the error, i failed at being prepared.
[02:52] <Roey> (and subsequent rules selectively allow different packet types)
[02:52] <balactus> i still have problems with my rules, even after allowing proper loopback on in and out chains
[02:52] <Roey> anthropos:  ah.. ok, how do I log for that default drop policy?
[02:52] <balactus> sometimes conntrack seems to stall or lag for a while
[02:52] <anthropos> Roey, it would be easier to debug if the rules to allow packets in preceded the rule to drop everything (or you didn't even have such a rule, and instead used a default policy)
[02:52] <balactus> and new connections will stall
[02:53] <balactus> but old ones are fine
[02:53] <anthropos> then you just put a target as the final rule to log everything that gets that far
[02:53] <anthropos> which will be dropped anyways if that's the default policy
[02:53] <LaterMan> dammit brb dinner
[02:53] <balactus> might wanna put in a REJECT before the default drop too on the outgoing at least
[02:53] <Roey> anthropos:  ok
[02:54] <LaterMan> This is the error i get when i try to upgrade to 12.04
[02:54] <LaterMan> Error during commit
[02:54] <LaterMan> 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libncurses5, probably a dependency cycle.'

[02:54] <FloodBot1> LaterMan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:54] <LaterMan> brb
[02:56] <Roey> anthropos:  ah, it's the FORWARD bit:  *filter
[02:56] <Roey> # :FORWARD DROP [0:0]
[02:56] <Roey> :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
[02:56] <FloodBot1> Roey: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:57] <Roey> sorry.
[02:57] <Roey> anthropos:  traffic works like that
[02:57] <Roey> now.
[02:57] <ntr0py> Great! Now every Flash video is BLUE
[02:57] <ntr0py> how can i get flash 11.1 again?
[02:57] <Roey> meep
[02:57] <Roey> oh good.
[02:57] <Roey> anthropos:  so I would like to enable logging on that chain
[02:57] <Roey> how do I do that?
[02:58] <anthropos> Roey, just add a log target right before wherever the packetrs would be dropped. if they are dropped by a defauly policy, that would be at the end of a chain
[02:58] <ntr0py> Is this an april 1st joke from the developers ?
[02:58] <Roey> I don't know enough netfilter syntax to do that
[02:58] <Roey> could you help me out?
[02:58] <Roey> anthropos:  see above
[02:59] <anthropos> something like this should work: iptables -A <chain> -j LOG
[02:59] <Roey> anthropos:  so iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG
[02:59] <Roey> ?
[02:59] <Roey> er
[03:00] <Roey> iptables -A FORWARD -j /path/to/logfile ?
[03:00] <anthropos> if the packets are being dropped at the end of the forward chain (e.g. by a default policy of drop), then iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG
[03:00] <anthropos> just LOG, not the logfile
[03:00] <tallboy_2> Is there a way to "force" unity to work with my graphics card, even if it's not supported?  My intel card should support 3D and it did up through 10.10.  Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 doesn't allow it. Help!
[03:00] <anthropos> it will go to syslogd which will decide where to log them
[03:00] <Roey> anthropos:  got it
[03:00] <anthropos> tallboy_2, is the module for your video card blacklisted?
[03:02] <ntr0py> anyone got flash 11.2 working with nvidia vdpau on x64? Updates broke my working system now all videos are blue!! Damn i never should trust updates on April 1st again!!!
[03:02] <tallboy_2> lspci -k shows this:  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[03:02] <tallboy_2> 	Subsystem: Dell Device 0160
[03:02] <tallboy_2> 	Kernel driver in use: i915
[03:02] <tallboy_2> 	Kernel modules: intelfb, i915
[03:03] <Roey> hmm
[03:03] <Roey> anthropos:  how do I turn off logging?
[03:04] <ntr0py> how do u revert from an broken update?
[03:04] <balactus> mount /dev/null /var
[03:04] <balactus> xd
[03:04] <balactus> jk
[03:04] <balactus> i wonder if that would even work heh
[03:05] <anthropos> Roey, remove the iptables target
[03:05] <anthropos> replace -A with -D
[03:05] <Roey> ok.
[03:05] <anthropos> s/target/rule
[03:05] <Roey> And what kind of messages am I looking for in syslog now?
[03:05] <CellTech> '/etc/sysctl.conf' permission denied?
[03:05] <sacarlson> balactus: I think the device needs to be formated before it can be mounted so I don't think that would work
[03:05] <Roey> anthropos:  no forwarded packets appeared rejected
[03:06] <anthropos> then they are dying elsewhere, or the fw is not the problem
[03:06] <Roey> ok.
[03:06] <tallboy_2> anthropos:  where is the blacklist for the video module?
[03:06] <Roey> anthropos:  thanks
[03:06] <Roey> I'll ping you tomorrow
[03:06] <Roey> if I still have issues
[03:06] <LaterMan> back
[03:07] <anthropos> tallboy_2, there are lists of blacklisted modules in /etc/modprobe.d
[03:07] <anthropos> if your module is loaded and you can see it via lsmod, it is not blacklisted
[03:09] <drgnu> hello world!
[03:09] <drgnu> Is anyone else using Ubuntu 11.04 and having issues with FireFox and Thunderbird menu's suddenly lagging?
[03:09] <tallboy_2> anthropos:  Any idea on a workaround?  I'm running 11.04 at the moment and need desktop zoom to work again.
[03:10] <anthropos> tallboy_2, no, nt unless you conclude your card is blacklisted. the best thing would be to search for people with the same card and the same problem
[03:10] <ntr0py> which gpu is best to buy/best supported on ubuntu linux?
[03:10] <anthropos> ntr0py, nvidia
[03:10] <drgnu> Interesting... I installed the compiz configurator to have a good desktop zoom for screencasting.... not sure if that messed up thunderbird and firefox or not, nothing else is messed up though
[03:11] <anthropos> the ati drivers are inferior to the nvidia drivers in linux
[03:11] <Roey> anthropos:  ok... I found pieces like this that I know were rejected (I tried to ping from the client laptop):  Apr  1 23:10:26 gear kernel: [132468.108419] IN=eth0 OUT=tun0 MAC=00:1d:7d:d0:1f:3e:68:7f:74:64:8c:97:08:00 SRC=72.14.204.101 DST=10.100.10.6 LEN=84 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=55 ID=56238 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=0 CODE=0 ID=25350 SEQ=22
[03:12] <ntr0py> anthropos: ok but with my GT-240 modesetting wont work with nouveau and now with nvidia binary drivers flash videos got color swapped?!
[03:12] <anthropos> k, the other packets could have been rejected elsewhere, though
[03:12] <Roey> anthropos:  I mean that was a rejected packet
[03:12] <anthropos> ntr0py, i have never had the latter problem. in some cases the nvidia drivers have problems--the yare not great--but they are lot better than the ati drivers on average
[03:12] <Roey> sorry, I realized that the firewall was still accepting forwarded packets.  So I reverted back to what I had before, and logged the packets that are now being rejected.
[03:13] <anthropos> Roey, k. but a rejected ping should not mess up your openvpn
[03:13] <Roey> the ping goes out but I don't get anything back.
[03:13] <ntr0py> anthropos: are you using nvidia or nouveau?
[03:13] <anthropos> ntr0py, nvidia
[03:13] <Roey> anthropos: yet it appears every second in the server log.
[03:13] <ntr0py> anthropos: with GPU do you use?
[03:13] <Roey> anthropos:  I believe it is getting blocked on the way back from the internet hose
[03:13] <droid-0854> 10.04 firefox update known bugs site location?  Please
[03:13] <anthropos> Roey, ignoring icmp echo requests (pings) is not unusual. so just because your cojputer doesn't respond to pings doesn't mean the vpn isn't working
[03:14] <Roey> well with the FORWARD ACCEPT the ping completes though
[03:14] <anthropos> ntr0py, this computer has a gtx 460 i think
[03:14] <Roey> I am pinging an Internet host through the VPN
[03:14] <haux> Is there a guide available on how to recompile the kernel in xubuntu?
[03:15] <anthropos> it would be odd for a icmp echo reply to get blocked, but it's possible, e.g. if the firewall is just dropping all icmp packets or something like that
[03:15] <Roey> anthropos:  the client laptop is connected to the VPN server; the client laptop is trying to ping a host out on the Internet, using the server's VPN connection.
[03:15] <JelloPop> smg60231_: Sure u didn't have a powersurge and need to restart router?
[03:15] <anthropos> Roey, try something other than a ping. something using tcp
[03:15] <Roey> anthropos:  the ping goes through fine when I have FORWARD ACCEPT
[03:15] <ntr0py> anthropos: ah then you already have fermi architecture, mine is one generation before :-/
[03:15] <Roey> anthropos:  ok, one moment
[03:15] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Yes, and even at that, I've done it many times, trust me :)
[03:16] <Roey> anthropos:  and I get packets like..
[03:17] <Roey> anthropos:  that was the result of trying to load a web page from the client laptop
[03:17] <Roey> a web page of a host on the intenret
[03:17] <Roey> *internet
[03:17] <JelloPop> smg60231_: just odd was reading uglyoldbob notes seeing if anything came to mind...
[03:17] <droid-0854> Im running firefox w/o no script.  It remembers no history and as of late the back button got sluggish.  10.04
[03:18] <anthropos> is your firewall accepting packets in all chains that have state related or established, Roey
[03:18] <Roey> oh
[03:18] <Roey> no
[03:18] <Roey> not in the FORWARD chain...
[03:18] <anthropos> it probably should be unless you know otherwise
[03:18] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Hm, yeah... well, this has never happened to me before and quite honestly, I haven't a damned clue as to what is wrong lol.
[03:19] <Roey> anthropos:  so I should add something like... -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
[03:19] <anthropos> yes something like that
[03:19] <anthropos> you may need to tinker with the location of that rule but -A is prob find
[03:19] <anthropos> *Fine
[03:20] <ntr0py> anthropos: do you know how i can swap colors in flash video?
[03:21] <anthropos> ntr0py, haha, no.
[03:21] <Roey> anthropos:  here's my table now, and yes it works:  http://pastebin.com/RGZVTNas
[03:21] <anthropos> see if anyone else has your issue, if you have not already
[03:21] <damiank> unity+compiz = very ugly crashes on my system :(
[03:22] <anthropos> Roey, nice
[03:22] <Roey> !! :)
[03:22] <Roey> thanks!
[03:22] <Roey> now how could someone hack this...
[03:22] <anthropos> the overall securit yis probably dictated by factors other than your firewall config
[03:22] <ntr0py> anthropos: if thats an april 1st joke from adobe/cannonical i fail to see the funny aspect of it
[03:23] <nickie> can someone please help me troubleshoot why my usb microphone isn't working?
[03:23] <Roey> anthropos:  here's a blurb about this, now that I know what we were looking for:  http://serverfault.com/questions/39307/linux-ip-forwarding-for-openvpn-correct-firewall-setup
[03:23] <Guest6565> hi
[03:23] <anthropos> haha
[03:23] <nickie> the cam that its attached to works fine.
[03:23] <nickie> and a regular line-in mic works too.
[03:23] <Guest6565> can you hear me?
[03:23] <Roey> anthropos:  and here:  https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/iptables-is-blocking-my-openvpn-internet-access-521722/
[03:24] <Roey> that is even more clear (look at the final message)
[03:25] <anthropos> yeah
[03:25] <Guest6565> well i am resting mango lite on iphone
[03:25] <Guest6565> testing
[03:25] <Guest6565> not sure if anybody can hear me
[03:26] <Roey> anthropos:  hell yeah! thanks so much!
[03:26] <anthropos> yes we can see what you are typing Guest6565
[03:26] <anthropos> np Roey
[03:26] <Guest6565> cool
[03:26] <Guest6565> hank you so much
[03:26] <CellTech> Ok. How come I can't get into '/etc/sysctl.conf'?
[03:26] <Guest6565> mango irc client is pe
[03:26] <Guest6565> retty good
[03:27] <anthropos> CellTech, you need to edit it with sudo or something that gives you root privileges
[03:27] <CellTech> I did sudo and I get an error message
[03:27] <anthropos> well, what is the error message...
[03:27] <CellTech> "Command not found"
[03:27] <anthropos> what did you type
[03:27] <JelloPop> smg60231_: found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/91543/apt-get-update-fails-to-fetch-files-temporary-failure-resolving-error  they seem to using repostories that run backports...
[03:29] <CellTech> Any other things I can do? I'm 'admin' on all things in the users menu
[03:30] <smg60231_> JelloPop: Thank you, I believe the issue is resolved now, thanks to uglyoldbob . DUC wasn't updating correctly it seems o.o . But none the less, checkers say all of my ports are closed. Still don't know what that is all about.
[03:30] <ntr0py> Flash is just pure junk: i have to reload youtube 3 times to get an video surface, then video is color swapped and i cannot disable hw acceleration because context menu is unclickable: GREAT !
[03:31] <rinzler> ok, so as a RAID noob, is it ok to shutdown my machine while the array is "resyncing"?
[03:31] <ntr0py> And hey 11.2 is latest version linux will ever see, so its great to be left stuck with those bugs. Why doesnt google remove flash from their sites completely???
[03:32] <anthropos> ntr0py, are you using youtube's html5 experiment?
[03:32] <anthropos> most youtube videos can be viewed via html5
[03:33] <ntr0py> anthropos: i would like to use it, but every video with adds (a lot!) wont play without flash :-/
[03:33] <sparky-> rinzler: not nice but assuming no further drives will die, should be alright
[03:41] <ntr0py> Does someone know the url of the ubuntu partner repo?
[03:42] <richarx> heyyy ....  somebody work with Websphere MQ on ubuntu ??
[03:42] <uglyoldbob> is there a trick to compiling gcc-2.95.3 on ubuntu-10.04?
[03:43] <richarx> nobody ???
[03:43] <matt_> uglyoldbob, gcc 2??
[03:43] <uglyoldbob> its for linux-2.4
[03:44] <Grivvel> Does anyone know how I'd flush a named pipe via the command line? I tried doing "cat pipename > /dev/null", but that doesn't exit once the pipe is flushed.
[03:44] <matt_> uglyoldbob, well, you probably have to look through some archives
[03:45] <ntr0py> where can i get the old versions of http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/              ?
[03:49] <nimbiotics> Hello evry1. I'm using ubuntu 11.10 and in the past couple of week it is not shutting down or hibernating. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? TIA!
[03:50] <nimbiotics> oops, sry, wring channel
[03:50] <nimbiotics> nope, this is the right one
[03:50] <CellTech> Anyone yet? Know why I'm being denied access to changing my sawppiness?
[03:51] <zykotick9> CellTech: that's certainly something requiring root permission, are you using sudo?
[03:51] <CellTech> yes
[03:51] <family> Hi, does anybody know how to configure the boot screen so I don't have to select the OS to boot into?
[03:52] <family> I want it to automatically go into linux
[03:53] <CellTech> Let me get you the actual error
[03:53] <zykotick9> !grub2 | family i'd guess it would be covered in this link most likely.
[03:54] <CellTech> Command not found when I type in 'sudo /etc/sysctl.conf'
[03:55] <zykotick9> CellTech: /etc/sysct.conf is a file, not a program
[03:55] <CellTech> I want to change the swappiness
[03:55] <ntr0py> CellTech sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
[03:55] <CellTech> So I have to open it
[03:56] <CellTech> zykotick9: I want to open the file and change the swappiness value is what I"m attempting to do
[03:57] <zykotick9> CellTech: sorry, I've never messed with swappiness before, i don't know how it's done (or why it would be necessary)
[03:58] <anthropos> CellTech, vm.swappiness = whatever
[03:58] <anthropos> in /etc/sysctl.conf
[03:58] <anthropos> the default is 60, most people want to lower it.
[03:58] <CellTech> I can't get the file open to change it. Many sites say to lower it from 60 down to 15
[03:59] <anthropos> do what ntr0py told you to do
[03:59] <anthropos> sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
[03:59] <anthropos> add the line I said with whatever value you want
[04:00] <CellTech> Tried the nano thing. and it' just took me to a bunch of stuff in the terminal
[04:00] <ntr0py> CellTech: then try sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
[04:00] <anthropos> it's working, that "bunch of stuff" is the content of the sysctl.conf file...
[04:00] <zykotick9> !gksudo | ntr0py CellTech
[04:00] <CellTech> command not found again
[04:02] <CellTech> All say no command found
[04:02] <Grivvel> Does anyone know if there's any way to check if a named pipe has a reader currently from the command line? I'd like to run a certain command only if nothing is currently reading from a named pipe.
[04:02] <anthropos> nano was working.
[04:03] <uglyoldbob> s/-ass / ass-/ ?
[04:03] <CellTech> I'm just gonna give up on linux.. especially xubuntu. I hate this distro...
[04:03] <CellTech> Thanks anyways
[04:04] <ntr0py> CellTech: if you have Gnome/lokal X-Server try "gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf" or stay in the terminal and use nano with "sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf" and use [Ctrl] + [O] to save it and [Ctrl] + [X] to close
[04:04] <zykotick9> ntr0py: CellTech left
[04:04] <enyawix> how do you disable pulseaudio? is conflicts with the hardware mixing on my sound card it would be a real pain to recompile many apps to force it off the system.
[04:06] <zykotick9> enyawix: i don't have pulse on my system so can't check easily, but there is a pasuspend or similar command you should check out.
[04:08] <family> thank you ubottu, but that link is to repair the grub, I need to set automatic boot. This isn't my computer and the client will not like having to select the right one every time.
[04:08] <xiewanchen> Excuse  me , I want to find a net friend .who would like to be my friend ?
[04:09] <zykotick9> family: it's the grub2 page you should have a look at.  you need to set default=0 and a timeout of some sort to the grub config file, then run "sudo update-grub" to apply the changes.  good luck.
[04:09] <ntr0py> family: ubottu is a bot
[04:10] <Shaniqua_Kwon> !ot | xiewanchen
[04:10] <VGoff> I have a problem I have been working on for like 20 hours.  No matter what I do, I cannot install php5 on 10.04.  Adding ppa's do not help.
[04:10] <xiewanchen> sorry
[04:11] <ntr0py> family maybe take a look into /etc/default/grub
[04:11] <VGoff> Package php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. is the most helpful message I haev received so far.
[04:11] <Shaniqua_Kwon> VGoff: Isn't it in the official repository?
[04:12] <VGoff> Exactly part of my confusion. :)
[04:12] <Logan_> VGoff: Have you tried sudo apt-get update?
[04:12] <VGoff> yes, indeed.
[04:12] <VGoff> I even added a ppa to make sure that it was operating as expected.
[04:15] <ntr0py> does anyone know if its possible with btrfs to make an auto snapshot before any packages get updated/upgraded automatically?
[04:16] <Logan_> VGoff: Weird. Is your sources.list normal?
[04:17] <VGoff> It was... until I added that one additional Logan_
[04:17] <family> ok that is what I was looking for but I have no ideal what to change. ntr0py
[04:18] <zykotick9> !info php5 lucid | Logan_ VGoff
[04:18] <ntr0py> family: what is the current state and what u want to change it to ?
[04:18] <Logan_> zykotick9: And?
[04:18] <Logan_> I know it's in the repository.
[04:18] <zykotick9> Logan_: i'm saying you're right, it's in the default repo.
[04:19] <VGoff> Logan_, yes it is, and from the command line aptitude it lists.
[04:19] <family> here is what I did. I had ubuntu 12 on here but I hated it. so I installed xubuntu over it (option to update it to keep files). Then when booted it wouldn't connect to the internet. so....
[04:19] <gizmo> has anyone used ubuntu on a mac with parallels?
[04:19] <Logan_> VGoff: Try running sudo apt-get install -f
[04:19] <family> I booted to the old or previous Linux which is the same thing and the internet worked. so now I want to automatically boot to that one without having to set it each time.
[04:20] <family> if I just let the computer boot to the default, the internet will not work.
[04:21] <KurtKraut> ntr0py, I don't know if you can make a command be triggered by apt-get or aptitude to produce  the outcome you want, but you can make a shell script that does tree -filhD /usr/bin/, stores the output in a file and save de md5sum of this file
[04:21] <family> here are the options in grub if you can help, please.
[04:21] <family> GRUB_DEFAULT=0
[04:21] <family> #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[04:21] <family> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[04:21] <family> GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
[04:21] <family> GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
[04:21] <FloodBot1> family: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:22] <VGoff> Logan_, maybe getting closer... now getting: dpkg: warning: files list file for package `php5-common' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[04:22] <KurtKraut> ntr0py, Then you check the md5sum every hour (or daily). If the md5sum changed, you may presume that an update/upgrade happened and trigger the snapshot
[04:22] <zykotick9> family: you need to set the GRUB_DEFAULT=X to the correct number, that corresponds to what you want to boot in /etc/default/grub then run that sudo update-grub to apply the changes (you might have to test a few numbers to find the right now)
[04:22] <galaxyace123> what is ubuntu????????????????????
[04:22] <Logan_> !ubuntu | galaxyace123
[04:22] <zykotick9> !ubuntu | galaxyace123
[04:22] <family> thank you
[04:23] <ntr0py> family https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#A.2BAC8-etc.2BAC8-default.2BAC8-grub_.28file.29   the GRUB_DEFAULT is what you are looking for. change it and run sudo update-grub then reboot
[04:23] <Logan_> VGoff: Anything other than that?
[04:23] <galaxyace123> thankyou, ubuntu is awesome
[04:24] <VGoff> https://gist.github.com/2280715
[04:24] <VGoff> Logan_, https://gist.github.com/2280715
[04:25] <Logan_> Looking.
[04:25] <KurtKraut> ntr0py, did you see my answer about your snapshot question?
[04:26] <Logan_> VGoff: sudo apt-get install phpapi-20090626
[04:26] <Logan_> VGoff: then try sudo apt-get install -f again
[04:26] <Logan_> VGoff: actually, no
[04:27] <Logan_> VGoff: looks like a bug with libapache2-mod-php5filter
[04:27]  * Logan_ checks the bugs
[04:27] <VGoff> ok
[04:29] <rinzler> anyone have any experience with iTunes under wine? I'm looking for recommendations before switching to it...
[04:29] <Logan_> VGoff: hmm, not sure, honestly... try removing all PPAs from your sources and then trying again
[04:29] <VGoff> So my sources.list should be empty?
[04:30] <Logan_> No... it should only have the Ubuntu repositories.
[04:30] <ntr0py> KurtKraut: yes but unfortunately im on ext4 right now and an update crashed my working sys so i was thinking about if btrfs could prevent that trouble on a future 12.04 by triggering a snapshot before any packages get changed
[04:34] <ntr0py> KurtKraut: maybe i will try using sth like http://askubuntu.com/questions/29891/how-does-apt-btrfs-snapshot-work
[04:46] <Arovij> Hi I want to install dummynet on ubuntu. Homepage is not very helpful http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/
[04:48] <VGoff> Logan_, can you look at the aptitude terminal run, found something interesting.... https://gist.github.com/2280715
[04:49] <Logan_> VGoff: Not sure how to interpret that; sorry. :-P
[04:52] <VGoff> Have you ever ran the terminal version of aptitude?  I will see if there is a way to get the same information from apt- tools.
[04:55] <ChogyDan> VGoff: it is a dependency error
[04:56] <VGoff> When I try to install libmodapache2 however the following packages replace it:
[04:56] <VGoff>   php5-ldap
[04:56] <VGoff> yeah, getting that.  how in the world do I fix / find that?
[04:56] <VGoff> lo
[04:56] <VGoff> Logan_,
[04:57] <Logan_> Not sure. :-(
[04:57] <VGoff> lol, me either.  You take that paddle, I will grab this one, cause we are in the same boat thre.
[04:57] <ChogyDan> VGoff: do you need filter-module support?
[04:57] <ChogyDan> not that I know what that is, but it is related to your error
[04:58] <VGoff> It will be running moodle and wordpress... trying to get past moodle 1.9 for security and support reasons.
[04:58] <ChogyDan> VGoff: do you just want the lamp stack?
[04:58] <VGoff> ChogyDan, unfortunately the lamp stack has existed since 2005 or earlier... so dealing with an inheritance problem (mine).
[04:59] <ChogyDan> VGoff: I missed the beginning, are you just trying to update?
[05:00] <VGoff> ChogyDan, there was a recursive dependency problem, and fixed that today, regarding php5.  But now that everything (apparently not quite everything) was cleared out, that issue seems to be (mostly) gone, because prior they could not even install unassocated things, now I can at least do updates.
[05:00] <VGoff> Trying to install php5
[05:00] <VGoff> specifically php5.3
[05:00] <ChogyDan> VGoff: in oneiric?
[05:00] <VGoff> more specifically php5.3.2 if I can, on Lucid.
[05:02] <ChogyDan> VGoff: have you tried either installing libapache2-mod-php5     (ie, no filterwhatever support), or `sudo apt-get install lamp-server`?
[05:02] <ChogyDan> oops
[05:03] <ChogyDan> `sudo apt-get install lamp-server^`
[05:04] <VGoff> However the following packages replace it:
[05:04] <VGoff>   php5-ldap
[05:04] <VGoff> E: Package libapache2-mod-php5 has no installation candidate
[05:04] <VGoff> It was what you had started picking up on, actually.
[05:04] <ChogyDan> did you already pastebin those errors?
[05:04] <VGoff> And as far as installing lamp... not sure I want to do that with the existing mysql and apache already installed.  Just trying to get php back up and running.
[05:05] <VGoff> yeah...
[05:05] <VGoff> https://gist.github.com/2280715 ChogyDan
[05:05] <ChogyDan> go ahead and do the lamp command, you will have a chance to confirm
[05:06] <VGoff> lamp-server is not available
[05:06] <VGoff> even on my laptop running 10.04
[05:06] <ChogyDan> pastebin?
[05:07] <ChogyDan> also, can you include the commands run
[05:07] <ChogyDan> note: it is lamp-server^
[05:08] <ChogyDan> also, you could check apt-cache policy libapache2-mod-php5
[05:09] <VGoff> ChogyDan, sent the link above tagged with your nick.  Will check lamp-server^ again
[05:11] <ChogyDan> the link doesnt show the command you ran, does it?
[05:11] <VGoff> ChogyDan, lamp-server^ reports that everything is already the latest version, but does not mention php.
[05:12] <VGoff> And no, the command ran was aptitude for the one file with the title of aptitude console or whatever.
[05:12] <VGoff> The others are simply what is reflected there... mentioned when I pasted... but nothing more complex than apt-get install php5 or whatever file package is reflected
[05:12] <ChogyDan> well I can't help further unless you are willing to pastebin
[05:12] <VGoff> what would you like me to pastebin?
[05:13] <VGoff> You haven't asked me yet, I don't think... or I missed it.
[05:13] <VGoff> I thought you just asked if I pastebinned.
[05:13] <macbuntu> hello
[05:13] <ChogyDan> the output of the commands, ie, lamp-server^   also, what is the command for the first pastebin
[05:13] <macbuntu> ubuntu newb trying to get ubuntu working on my macbook
[05:14] <VGoff> " also, you could check apt-cache policy libapache2-mod-php5" totally missed that line.
[05:14] <macbuntu> Anyone want to help me get wifi working on mymacbook
[05:14] <VGoff> ok... let me see...
[05:14] <VGoff> first command was apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5filter
[05:14] <VGoff> let me do the apt-cache policy.
[05:16] <macbuntu> no one
[05:16] <VGoff> ChogyDan, https://gist.github.com/2280715
[05:17] <ChogyDan> can you pastebin the output of the lamp-server^ command?  Im suprised it didn't mention php
[05:17] <VGoff> I am working on that as we speak
[05:17] <Arovij> Are kernal modifications necessary for installing Dummynet on ubuntu? Thanks.
[05:18] <VGoff> ok, ChogyDan it is there.
[05:18] <VGoff> ChogyDan, not a single php reference even coincidentally.
[05:19] <ChogyDan> yeah, weird.  I dunno about that.  have you tried installing libapache2-mod-php5?    ie without filter support?
[05:21] <macbuntu> where can i find more info about fixing my wifi on my macbook
[05:21] <macbuntu> googling like crazy right now
[05:22] <VGoff> apt-cache policy is a little bit interesting... ChogyDan just updated the gist.
[05:23] <ChogyDan> macbuntu: are you googling with the hardware ids, like from lspci etc?
[05:24] <macbuntu> yea
[05:24] <macbuntu> i havent found anything useful
[05:24] <arizona> is there linux based courses?
[05:24] <VGoff> ChogyDan, how do you do that without fliter support?
[05:24] <ChogyDan> VGoff: yeah, that is interesting.  It looks like you have some pinning going on.  I don't know about that
[05:25] <ChogyDan> just install that package, it is a different name
[05:25] <VGoff> I noticed the pinning too, and that is interesting... I am going to research how to unpin it (I think there was something in aptitude (terminal) that I could do.
[05:25] <ChogyDan> libapache2-mod-php5filter has the filter support
[05:25] <ChogyDan> !pinning | VGoff
[05:25] <VGoff> !remove pinning | VGoff
[05:26] <VGoff> no help. lol
[05:26] <VGoff> checking out web page, thanks ubottu via ChogyDan
[05:26] <ChogyDan> VGoff: in the info, it says to only install that package if you need filter support, otherwise install libapache2-mod-php5
[05:26] <macbuntu> trying to get wifi working for the broadcom antennae
[05:27] <VGoff> yeah, not sure when I started usign the one with filter, but no difference, same messages.
[05:27] <ChogyDan> VGoff: maybe try reinstalling php5-common
[05:28] <ChogyDan> anyway, gotta sleep, g'night and gl
[05:30] <VGoff> lol, if I could install php5-common I would not be having this issue.  just lol'ing in frustration.  Pinning suggestion, none of the 3 files mentioned is modified to enable pinning.

[05:41] <LeroyJ> anyone have any good pointers on motd in ubuntu?
[05:42] <LeroyJ> i'm familure with it from other distros, but not understanding why i can't save to it in this one
[05:42] <hateball> LeroyJ: you mean editing /etc/motd ?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> LeroyJ: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ssh-welcome-banner-on-ubuntu/
[05:42] <LeroyJ> hateball: yes
[05:42] <LeroyJ> ActionParsnip: ty. i'll check it out
[05:43] <hateball> LeroyJ: There are scripts that run as cronjobs that set it regularly, if your problem is that it gets overwritten
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> LeroyJ: you'll need gk/sudo to get write access.
[05:43] <LeroyJ> ok, that is helpful also hateball. ty
[05:43] <LeroyJ> ty ActionParsnip
[05:44] <hateball> LeroyJ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpdateMotd
[05:45]  * ActionParsnip has a clear command at the bottom of bashrc to wipe that stuff off :-)
[05:45] <LeroyJ> n1 ActionParsnip :)
[05:46] <LeroyJ> haven't been here in a little while. what is the other channel used for chatting ubuntu if it goes a little off subject?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> !ot
[05:47] <LeroyJ> thanks again ActionParsnip
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> Np duder
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> LeroyJ: also ##club-ubuntu
[05:49] <system5> does anybody have any idea how often is Ubuntu 11.10 supposed to clear out the /var/log/wtmp file?
[05:50] <system5> the /var/log/wtmp file which determines the output you get for running the "last" command
[05:50] <system5> is it on the first of the month that logs rotate and the /var/log/wtmp file gets cleared out?
[05:51] <Wingede> Anyone using empathy as default irc client?
[05:51] <system5> no I use irssi
[05:51] <Marzata> here XChat
[05:51] <LeroyJ> <--irssi
[05:51] <system5> Wingede: what output do you see for ls -l for your /var/log/wtmp file or for output of your "last" command ?
[05:51] <obelus> KVIrc here.
[05:51] <Wingede> this bubble like stuff is doing my head in :(
[05:52] <system5> I ran the "last" command and it doesn't show any of the logins from before today, and ls -l /var/log/wtmp shows this:
[05:52] <system5> -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 1536 2012-04-01 22:34 /var/log/wtmp
[05:53] <system5> I'm trying to figure out if this is normal behavior in Ubuntu that the /var/log/wtmp file gets reset on the 1st of the month or if it means somebody has been messing with the system
[05:53] <LeroyJ> that is normal system5
[05:53] <Marzata> system5: mine is empty
[05:53] <system5> ok cool, so the logrotate doesn't archive the old wtmp files for historical purposes? just blanks it out on the 1st of every month?
[05:54] <Wingede> last is ok at my end, I only installed this vm this afternoon - but everything appears ok so far
[05:54] <chilicuil> hi there, does anyone remember how can I enable one second wifi card to share internet?, does networkmanager support it?
[05:54] <system5> it's hard to know what "abnormal" behavior is, if you don't know what the "normal" behavior is, LOL
[05:55] <LeroyJ> system5: in some other distros it goes back until first boot
[05:56] <LeroyJ> there is probably a way to set that way in ubuntu
[05:58] <pikkachu> I have a problem with gpg keys
[05:58] <pikkachu> in the gui, the tool tells me it's already signed
[05:58] <pikkachu> but when I verify a key with gpg it warns me the authenticity of the key cannot be verified
[06:02] <system5> LeroyJ: yeah, I'm used to the output of the "last" command going back to the first boot, I just wanted to make sure that the fact that the /var/log/wtmp was recreated on the first of the month didn't mean that my system had been exploited or tampered with
[06:04] <LeroyJ> well lets hope it's not system5
[06:04] <LeroyJ> :)
[06:04] <LeroyJ> system5: now i want to change mine to go all the way back, but working on another project
[06:05] <mi3> how can I remove the server tabs on this xchat? they were not there on linux mint, but they are on ubuntu!
[06:05] <mi3> any suggestions?
[06:05] <mi3> yeah! it worked!
[06:06] <plainjane> hi guys n gals
[06:07] <plainjane> any nokia n900 maemo owners in?
[06:09] <jonathon> How do I fix GRUB?
[06:10] <jonathon> I installed a second linux on a different partition, and I'm gonna remove it, But I need to restore the GRUB from my first linux, so that it loads up at start instead
[06:11] <arice> i am new here
[06:11] <pikkachu> hmm sorry for my question
[06:12] <pikkachu> I was using --homedir
[06:12] <plainjane> jonathon, need to edit your grub config
[06:13] <Jordan_U> jonathon: Is the first Linux install Ubuntu?
[06:13] <jonathon> Jordan_U Yea
[06:15] <mi3> hey guys, just needed a suggestion, do mirc themes work on xchat?
[06:15] <Jordan_U> jonathon: If the drive that your BIOS is booting from is /dev/sda, then boot into Ubuntu and run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda".
[06:16] <jonathon> Jordan_U, Alright thanks, I'm reboot, see if that worked
[06:16] <plainjane> fingers rossed
[06:18] <jonathon> Jordan_U, Alright that fixed it, Thanks
[06:18] <Jordan_U> jonathon: You're welcome.
[06:21] <pikkachu> why do I have two subkeys in my GPG key details?
[06:25] <insert> hi guys. I cannot set correct resolution on my Ubuntu. I have nvidia card, I installed proprietary drivers because I thought they're better, Jockey command shows this driver is in use, i made nvdia-xconfig, rebooted, but I cannot pick resolution higher than 800x600. In Xorg.log it says "unable to read edid for display device". What does it mean? Can I go back to nouveau, because previously I added used command to set a new resolution
[06:25] <insert> sorry, used xrandr command
[06:31] <insert> I think I should do something like this https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&client=firefox-a&hl=en&q=cache:57vIfrb0l0YJ:http://analogbit.com/fix_nvidia_edid+nvidia+edid+fix&ct=clnk
[06:45] <test> Good morning
[06:45] <test> How doesit work to ask for support in this chat?
[06:45] <test> I would have a technical question
[06:46] <newhaskeller> hey.. i installed ubuntu 11.10 on an old mac... the problem is that sometimes the screen dims and I can't use the physical buttons to make it bright again. This happens on opening certain applications
[06:46] <almoxarife> its a sophisticated system, you ask!
[06:46] <test> I ask.
[06:46] <Steevca> I have just upgraded ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04,and i can't get network to work.I have a DSL Modem.I also have two network cards,but i only use one because the second isn't working,can the other one cause problems?
[06:46] <almoxarife> yes, the question,
[06:47] <test> Since last ubuntu upate, youtube as well as all video players are not working anymore- on youtube, I don't even get the buttons
[06:47] <test> Is anyne aware of that? Thanks
[06:47] <test> Yesterday I reinstalled youtube, but no luck
[06:48] <Steevca> Reinstalled youtube?
[06:48] <obelus> ... how did you reinstall youtube?
[06:48] <almoxarife> re-installed youtube?
[06:48] <almoxarife> that must have taken a bit of time
[06:48] <test> sorry
[06:48] <test> I reinstalled ubuntu
[06:48] <test> you are right, sorry
[06:49] <Steevca> :D
[06:49] <newhaskeller> how do I fix this screen dimming issue... I cannot get any work done
[06:49] <Steevca> Can ayone help me with my issue?
[06:49] <almoxarife> test: short answer, get rid of what ever browser you have and install 'chromium-browser' , bet you can see your youtubes then
[06:49] <test> Many thanks almoxarife
[06:50] <obelus> newhaskeller: I'm not sure where the settings are in Gnome/Unity, but if you change power settings so that it doesn't dim the screen after inactivity
[06:50] <obelus> In Gnome3/Unity, you can probably type 'power' into the dashboard to find it.
[06:50] <almoxarife> newhaskeller: dimming is a function on your 'power-settings/saver/saving' , make it stop dimming there
[06:50] <newhaskeller> obelus: i already unchecked the dim on idle options from the settings
[06:51] <newhaskeller> however, it should not dim each time I open firefox
[06:51] <almoxarife> newhaskeller: no, it should not
[06:51] <obelus> newhaskeller: You're right on that one - I'm  not sure why it would be doing that - bad video drivers maybe?
[06:52] <newhaskeller> obelus: i am guessing so... but I cannot find what appropriate drivers I must install
[06:55] <newhaskeller> How does one determine the hardware for which drivers are needed?
[06:55] <newhaskeller> i.e, the model number, etc
[06:56] <obelus> newhaskeller: For the model number, it'd probably be in the output of 'sudo lspci', but I'm not sure exactly what you'd install for Macs.
[07:02] <newhaskeller> has anyone seen damo22 around these days?
[07:03] <newhaskeller> he has a similar system
[07:03] <obelus> Not sure, sorry. I've got to go for a while though. Good luck with your dimming problem
[07:04] <mobile> how do i change my nickname
[07:05] <obelus> mobile: type /nick <newnickhere>

[07:16] <Jason1> Hi. The "focus" animation - Dodge in compiz doesn't work the way it should.  When I click another window, it first comes forward and then bounces up and down - instead of the windows dodging each other. Any help?
[07:27] <Syria> How can I update to Gnome 3.4 please?
[07:33] <multiHYP> hi all
[07:33] <DevilSH> hi
[07:38] <NameLess-exe> hello, it seems that my laptops backlight isn't working in ubuntu 11.10 64bit
[07:38] <Kristof_D> after the last updates, flash suddenly doesn't work in firefox. I have tried installing the flash-aid plugin and also manually tried to reinstall flash in different ways. According to firefox there is a flash-plugin installed and working, but all I see is a black rectangle.
[07:40] <railsraider> does turning swap off affects in any way a mysql server (downtime)?
[07:41] <bivo> if I use Flash-Aid to manage Flash in Firefox how do I remove Flash completely?
[07:42] <fidel> usually you shouldnt care about that in case you use flash-aid
[07:42] <fidel> as the flash-aid assistant-mode handles it already via a script
[07:43] <bivo> fidel well if flash is dead I don't want it being a security hole anymore since I rarely ever used it anyways
[07:43] <Kristof_D> my flash is dead too, but I want it back =(
[07:44] <fidel> bivo: oh then i misunderstood you
[07:44] <fidel> i expected you want it to work again
[07:44] <bivo> Kristof_D keep after sites to move to HTML5
[07:44] <Kristof_D> I will ^^
[07:44] <fidel> bivo: in case you really want to get rid of it - just use apt or your favorite package-manager-gui as i.e. synaptic and remove it
[07:46] <Oxygen02> Hello everyone. Installed gnome-shell on ubuntu 11.10 The top bar seems to be glitching. Any solution to this?
[07:47] <curiousx> Oxygen02: do you have an ATI graphic card?
[07:47] <fidel> Oxygen02: can you describe 'glitching' a bit more detailed? examples?
[07:47] <dr_willis> whats your video card
[07:47] <Oxygen02> curiousx: yes
[07:47] <Oxygen02> fidel: the letters aren't rendering well..
[07:48] <curiousx> yo should install lastest driver 12.3 or 12.2 to solve that issue
[07:48] <dr_willis> fglrx and gnome shell has known issues.
[07:48] <Oxygen02> on the topbar. It has another color. Nothing works well.
[07:48] <Oxygen02> curiousx: latest drivers? how?
[07:48] <curiousx> what is the ati version?
[07:48] <sasori_> hi
[07:49] <Oxygen02> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650]
[07:49] <sasori_> what command to execute in order to rename all the .txt files into .dat in just one blow ?
[07:49] <dharma> Is there any "howto" for newbies aout there?
[07:49] <curiousx> ok
[07:49] <dr_willis> sasori_: i think   rename   can do that
[07:50] <dr_willis> !manual
[07:50] <bivo> fidel ah, I figured it'd be installed somewhere funky or at least not listed in apt
[07:51] <curiousx> Oxygen02: i am searching for 12.3 i have 12.2 give me a second
[07:51] <Oxygen02> sasori_: for f in *.txt ; do mv $f.dat; done;
[07:51] <Oxygen02> curiousx: thanks!. I'll wait
[07:52] <curiousx> Oxygen02: wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-3-x86.x86_64.run
[07:52] <curiousx> chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-3-x86.x86_64.run
[07:52] <curiousx> no
[07:53] <curiousx> ok, when you downloaded it write me
[07:53] <sasori_> Oxygen02: is that a bash script?
[07:55] <sneumann> Hi, when upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04, I was asked by evolution to migrate from maildir from mbox format. I couldn't complete this, so I'd like to trigger the migration manually now. How to do that ?
[07:56] <zara> hello
[07:56] <Oxygen02> curiousx: there I'm again. Lost the terminal :)
[07:57] <curiousx> do you have the driver?
[07:57] <Oxygen02> yes
[07:57] <Oxygen02> they are installed
[07:57] <curiousx> Oxygen02: i mean propietary "catalyst" 12.3 ?
[07:57] <iceroot> Oxygen02: that will rename foo.txt to foo.txt.dat
[07:58] <curiousx> Oxygen02: wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-3-x86.x86_64.run
[08:00] <Oxygen02> curiousx: got 2 options
[08:01] <Oxygen02> Install Driver 8.951 on X.org 6.9 or later 64-bit
[08:01] <Oxygen02> Generate distribution Specific Driver Package
[08:01] <Oxygen02> ?
[08:03] <curiousx> wait a second, canel it and we will do it manualy not by runing the .run
[08:03] <curiousx> if you want
[08:04] <curiousx> or as you like, but i have installed manually and everything goes good
[08:05] <Oxygen02> I removed the previous driver
[08:06] <curiousx> Oxygen02: what version do you have? Oneric?
[08:10] <progre55> hi guys. I have my /home partition encrypted, and I've recently started having problems with logon. It doesnt mount the home partition automatically, and I have to mount it manually from the tty. Any suggestions or anyone else having these issues, please?

[08:40] <Crazydan> Do you know if there's any way to get a gui?
[08:41] <Crazydan> And it would be funny as f*** to be able to run wine on an android phone
[08:41] <JelloPop> Crazydan: lol
[08:42] <JelloPop> Crazydan: Give it a couple more yrs its close...lol
[08:43] <foobArrr> does wine work on not-x86 systems?
[08:43] <Crazydan> Well i just installed jaunty on my phone
[08:43] <Crazydan> And was able to apt-get
[08:44] <Crazydan> Now I'm wondering what packages to install
[08:44] <JelloPop> Crazydan: most people use it for irc channels.. and feeds...
[08:45] <Crazydan> Wow I want to use it for pentesting
[08:45] <Crazydan> Well*
[08:45] <Crazydan> Apt-get install nmap
[08:45] <JelloPop> Crazydan: what?? are u trying to hack a network :(
[08:46] <Crazydan> Nmap works
[08:46] <Crazydan> XD
[08:46] <JelloPop> Crazydan: I dont want here u can hack a wap or wep ...lol
[08:47] <Crazydan> Well i am homeless and open wifi is hard to find
[08:47] <Crazydan> Don't know how to hack wap
[08:48] <Crazydan> But wep is easy with linux
[08:48] <JelloPop> Crazydan: Not so hard was once homeless in DC... Just have to get online and look for hot spot maps that tell u were all the unsecure networks are ..
[08:49] <Crazydan> Wonder if i can run a css server on my phone
[08:49] <ikonia> nothing to do with ubuntu
[08:49] <Crazydan> Im in a more rural area
[08:49] <ikonia> please stop discussion
[08:50] <Crazydan> Back to ubuntu
[08:50] <JelloPop> Crazydan: Good luck... Srry to hear ur without a home :(
[08:50] <Crazydan> So i did apt-get update and it had an error on the last 3 addresses
[08:51] <Crazydan> I just installed jaunty on my phone so i don't know if it was a server issue or my phone
[08:52] <ikonia> Crazydan: you've installed jaunty on your phone.....really
[08:52] <Crazydan> Yes.
[08:52] <ikonia> Crazydan: what phone have you installed it on ?
[08:52] <Crazydan> Htc hero
[08:52] <fidel> Crazydan: how battery usage?
[08:53] <ikonia> Crazydan: are you running on that phone now (are you irc'ing from it?)
[08:53] <fidel> i assume its pretty bad - but thats just a feeling
[08:53] <Crazydan> Not sure yet so far I've had it only plugged in
[08:53] <Crazydan> Yes im on the phone now
[08:53] <ikonia> Crazydan: really, shows you as running android
[08:54] <ikonia> rather than ubuntu
[08:54] <Crazydan> So far all ive been able to use was command line
[08:54] <Crazydan> Ya i know
[08:54] <ikonia> Crazydan: odd that an "ubuntu" install would show it's self as "android" almost as if you are not telling the truth
[08:54] <Crazydan> Its being virtualized over android
[08:55] <ikonia> oooh it's been virtualised now....what virtualisation tehcnology are you using
[08:55] <Crazydan> :/
[08:55] <ikonia> Crazydan: what virtualisation are you using ?
[08:55] <Crazydan> Google install ubuntu on android then come back before you mock
[08:55] <ikonia> Crazydan: I'm not mocking
[08:55] <ikonia> Crazydan: I'm asking what virtualisation you are using
[08:56] <Crazydan> Chroot
[08:56] <ikonia> Crazydan: I've never heard of google putting android on old HTC phones
[08:56] <Crazydan> I think
[08:56] <ikonia> you think ?
[08:56] <ikonia> you did it,
[08:56] <ikonia> are you sure you're not making this up...in which case, please stop messing around/wasting time
[08:56] <Crazydan> Ya it was mostly an app that did it
[08:56] <ikonia> Crazydan: an app did it now.
[08:56] <Crazydan> :(
[08:57] <ikonia> Crazydan: so it's gone from "ubuntu on a phone" to "virtualalised" to "chroot - an app did it"
[08:57] <Crazydan> Quit trying to troll
[08:57] <Olfway> Jesus, and I thought #freenode had a lot of nicks
[08:57] <ikonia> Crazydan: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android sure your not just reading that
[08:58] <Crazydan> Brb screenshot...
[08:58] <Crazydan> What package do you want me to install for the pic?
[08:58] <ikonia> none
[08:58] <ikonia> I'm not really bothered.
[08:59] <Crazydan> I was trying to get real help
[08:59] <Crazydan> For ubuntu
[08:59] <ikonia> Crazydan: ok, so what do you need help with ?
[08:59] <ikonia> how can we help
[08:59] <Crazydan> Im kinda a linux noob :/
[08:59] <ikonia> Crazydan: ok - what help do you need
[08:59] <Crazydan> I was wondering if i can get a gui somehow
[09:00] <ikonia> Crazydan: you've not got a gui running
[09:00] <Crazydan> Is There a package I need to install or something
[09:00] <ikonia> Crazydan: how did you install this ubuntu on your android phone
[09:00] <JelloPop> Crazydan: try veetle.com yet watched Hunger Games on this site need a fast interent connection...
[09:00] <Crazydan> An app on the android market
[09:00] <ikonia> Crazydan: what is the app called
[09:01] <Crazydan> Linux installer...
[09:01] <JelloPop> ikonia: sure there is a youtube video on installing ubuntu on phone
[09:01] <Olfway> Why did you do that? Andriod is already linux based...
[09:01] <ikonia> JelloPop: I'm not saying there isn't, I'm trying to understand what he's actually got running
[09:02] <Crazydan> It's missing most linux commands
[09:02] <ikonia> Crazydan: I suggest you take that up with the android application owner
[09:02] <Crazydan> So far I can only run things in terminal
[09:02] <ikonia> Crazydan: that won't be a proper ubuntu install
[09:02] <ikonia> Crazydan: the android application creator will need to support that
[09:02] <Crazydan> But no the app did all the work already now I have lenox installed and basically whatever you been f***** do 1 computer I can do my phone I'm tryna figure out how to do it though
[09:02] <ikonia> Crazydan: stop with the language
[09:03] <Crazydan> *** is bad toi?
[09:03] <ikonia> Crazydan: if it's missing commmands and running in a chroot, and installed by an android app - contact the person who made the android installer
[09:03] <ikonia> Crazydan: yes, it is
[09:03] <Crazydan> I was talking to the other dude when I said android is missing linix command but now that I have lenox installed there are all the commands at my fingertips
[09:04] <ikonia> Crazydan: whact exactly do you want to know ?
[09:04] <JelloPop> Crazydan: question is can it run fluxbox or some low res.. windows manager..
[09:04] <ikonia> Crazydan: I'm still waiting for an ubuntu support question from you
[09:07] <mister2> can someone fix this for me? DISPLAY=:0 gnome-screensaver-command -l
[09:07] <mister2> oooohhh wait, forgot the equals, nvm
[09:07] <zvacet> Crazydan: If you want to install ubuntu why don't you try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appbuilder.u14410p30729&feature=also_installed#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwNCwiY29tLmFwcGJ1aWxkZXIudTE0NDEwcDMwNzI5Il0.

[09:30] <JelloPop> Crazydan: Found ur app Linux Installer at this point they have no Graphical USer Interface in is on there to do list...
[09:31] <Crazydan> Just installed irssi :o
[09:31] <JelloPop> Crazydan: http://android.galoula.com/en/LinuxInstall/#Reqs  there it is look at the installtion notes...
[09:33] <JelloPop> Crazydan: We will be running Ubuntu “chrooted” under Android OS, which just means that we will be running a “virtual” Ubuntu OS that runs on top of the Android OS.  Your Android OS will work fully (e.g. your phone will keep working normally) while the Ubuntu runs on top of it.
[09:33] <Crazydan> Yes i read that
[09:34] <JelloPop> if all u user are blowen away by this pls...  http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
[09:35] <fidel> i am still interested in the power-usage of such a setup
[09:35] <fidel> as droid-devices usually tend to s*** already - and i cant imagine ubuntu is that much better on the same hardware
[09:36] <JelloPop> How to Install LXDE!(optional)
[09:36] <JelloPop> Next, we will install LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment).  Although we can use Ubuntu’s default GNOME (and trust me I love that), LXDE takes up less memory so our GUI access will be faster.
[09:36] <JelloPop> If you like GNOME, you can skip this step though.
[09:36] <ikonia> fidel: no need for the language
[09:36] <fidel> ikonia: sorry

[09:41] <vandan> Hi all
[09:41] <vandan> i tried loggin into ubuntu-helpteam
[09:41] <vandan> and kernel
[09:41] <vandan> but no help was provided
[09:41] <vandan> can someone help me here please.
[09:42] <vandan> thank you
[09:42] <JelloPop> vandan: whats the question
[09:42] <vandan> thank you jellpop
[09:42] <myhero> thnx but still i don't know what 2 do with the linux softs downloaded frm the original sites
[09:42] <vandan> I installed ubuntu 11.10
[09:42] <vandan> from a CD
[09:42] <vandan> and my ubuntu is freezes
[09:42] <vandan> sometimes.
[09:43] <vandan> many times on firefox
[09:43] <scottj> is there a cli for the "Enable Networking" feature on right clicking nm-applet
[09:43] <vandan> and sometimes using librewriter
[09:43] <JelloPop> vandan: install htop
[09:43] <myhero> the problem is m running oneiric frm usb n whenever i boot everything is lost n i hve 2 install all again.....
[09:43] <Myrtti> vandan: you can use the comma key on your keyboard instead of the enter key - it makes your question a lot more readable
[09:43] <myhero> so if i update frm net then it consumes bandwidth
[09:44] <Crazydan> now what os does it say i am running?
[09:44] <JelloPop> vandan: Can follow, no need for comma's and correct grammer... I got skillz
[09:44] <myhero> therefore i downloaded the softs linus packages frm original sites n want a way 2 install them whenever i boot
[09:44] <myhero> *linux
[09:45] <Crazydan> i'm still on my phone :p
[09:45] <vandan> thanks mrtti . I did an update of ubuntu, after update, it started to freeze / crash more often. so i installed again from CD
[09:45] <myhero> all softs r in tar.gz n tar.xz format
[09:45] <JelloPop> Crazydan learn to read all the instructions :) before u get here and complain
[09:46] <Crazydan> running irssi atm :p
[09:46] <Crazydan> not complaining
[09:46] <vandan> and it freezes sometimes but not often. what could be the possible cause ?
[09:46] <JelloPop> Crazydan: U install lxde, a
[09:47] <Crazydan> lxde?
[09:47] <Crazydan> this is why i'm here
[09:47] <JelloPop> Crazydan: Gui for fone lxde
[09:47] <Crazydan> i'm a noob
[09:47] <Crazydan> gui? xD
[09:48] <zvacet> !persistent
[09:48] <fidel> vandan: just mentioning that it "freezes" from time to time makes it hard to "guess" what the reason might be
[09:48] <fidel> consider checking your logs or ssh in in the case it freezes if that is still possible
[09:49] <JelloPop> Crazydan: Directions say u may need to use busybox to install and run updates..
[09:49] <zvacet> myhero: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[09:49] <Crazydan> surprised this even runs on my dinosaur fone
[09:49] <vandan> yes,i understand. I could move the cursor but nothing works. i have to reboot .

[10:33] <Ederico> hello all, I have a "problem" with Firefox 11 under Ubuntu 12.04 (I installed the beta yesterday). Basically, when I close firefox all my tabs reload when I reload firefox again, however under my previous setup (running Ubuntu 10.10) only the tab which was selected loaded on Firefox's startup. Basically, I want that back and can't find the setting in Firefox (if there is any).
[10:33] <ikonia> paulus68: squid is only set up for your web proxy, so if (for example) msn is not set to use a proxy then it won't use squid and you'd have to block the port say with iptables
[10:34] <paulus68> ikonia: ok thanks
[10:34] <ikonia> mi3: come on, "how do I delete a file" - https://help.ubuntu.com have a read and get to know the basics of how to move around and use the file system

[10:35] <mi3> should I update? ikonia?
[10:35] <ikonia> mi3: no
[10:35] <jonathon> pawan_tejwani, You should have an option in the BIOS to have Wireless enable itself by default, check in there for wireless settings, if you can't find it, comeback
[10:35] <ikonia> mi3: just delete the file and install the package
[10:36] <mi3> how can I install that file if I have deleted it? ikonia?
[10:36] <Sidewinder> !12.04 | Ederico

[11:10] <larsduesing> but it won't match "daemonize<tab>true"

[11:17] <ActionParsnip> iphone is slowly stagnating.
[11:17] <jonathon> lol
[11:17] <Ben64> android market share keeps going up, iphone keeps going down, blackberry is almost non existant
[11:17] <dogget_> it maybe rocks but google devs code with their feet.
[11:17] <very> it's difficult for me to use the shell. after executing a command loads of text appears but i cannot find the beginning of it.
[11:18] <jonathon> very, Scroll up?
[11:19] <jonathon> very, If it's not at the top, You need to increase the amount of lines terminal keeps in its memory
[11:19] <very> jonathon, yes, i have to scroll up of course. but it's difficult to find the exact point where the text starts.
[11:20] <dogget_> Hmmm I have added the ppa, pmcenery is not showing
[11:20] <sacarlson> very: if you want just the start you can try more yourcommand;  or less yourcommand ;
[11:20] <dogget_> in synaptic as well as ubuntu soft centre
[11:20] <very> jonathon, i've changed the color of my prompt to green now. but it's still not that easy to find.
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pmcenery
[11:21] <jonathon> very, press enter a few times before entering your command, then you have some blank space at the top
[11:21] <dogget_> tried that, maybe I have missed something, let's check :-)
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: what is the PPA address?
[11:21] <very> sacarlson, ah.. right, that's a good idea. i'm going to try this when i anticipate loads of text.
[11:22] <dogget_> Action_: https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa
[11:23] <dogget_> hmmm: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: and the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[11:23] <very> jonathon, also a good idea. others don't seem to have trouble with this. i thought there was a better solution maybe.
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: go to: http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu/dists/   notice anything?
[11:23] <benjamin_> i'd like to connect to my mac wirelessly. can someone point me in the right direction. i have googled it but i cant find where to start
[11:23] <benjamin_> thanks
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> benjamin_: how do you mean 'connect'? If you ping it makes a connection..
[11:24] <jasonmsp> is there an equivilent variable for stnd output?  previous stndoutput from last terminal command which can then be used on the next line?  Something like command $1
[11:24] <JelloPop> myhero:
[11:24] <dogget_> Action_: nope sorry dude
[11:24] <ubuntu_> yes
[11:25] <ubuntu_> jellopop
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: well, you are running oneiric, right?
[11:25] <myhero3> now its gud
[11:25] <dogget_> yep
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: do you see an oneiric folder in the link I gave?
[11:26] <dogget_> Ah yes it's not on that list!
[11:26] <dogget_> Sorry it's getting late in nz :-)
[11:26] <myhero1> @jello wer r u
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: bingo
[11:26] <jonathon> ActionParsnip, Whoops, that was my bad, I should've checked it over...
[11:26] <JelloPop> myhero1: I already msged u press alt + arrow key until u get to private message
[11:27] <jasonmsp> is there a way rather than piping to standard output to use it on the next command line with a standard variable?
[11:27] <dogget_> -1 for you Jon ;-)
[11:27] <myhero1> k
[11:27] <very> to me the text in a shell is just a big gray mess of characters. i cannot tell the characters i wrote and the ones the program wrote apart from each other.
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> jonathon: np man
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> very: change your prompt to have a colour, makes it stand out
[11:28] <very> ActionParsnip, i changed the color of the prompt to green. but that didn't change the color of the text i write.
[11:29] <very> sometimes i have long command lines. it's difficult to see where it ends and the output starts.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> very: sure but its a marker for where you typed
[11:29] <Guile> hello
[11:29] <dogget_> Anybody having an iphone 4 and knows how to mount it properly in 11.10 is more than welcome to help :-)
[11:29] <Guile> I'm looking for some help to install last empathy version on oneiric :-/ but I have difficulties with packages, etc. :(
[11:29] <very> ActionParsnip, better than nothing, right. okay, i think that as good as it gets.
[11:30] <sysrpl> can someone help me get my application switcher working? i'm on 11.10 and am using gnome classic. when i alt tab right now nothng happens. 've messed with compiz settings manager and i can't get it the application switcher working at all
[11:30] <very> thanks everyone.
[11:30] <sysrpl> help please
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> sysrpl: enable the ring switcher in ccsm
[11:33] <__nu11___> is there anyway to tell which repo installed a certain package ?
[11:34] <sacarlson> __nu11___: I see in synaptic it has a botton to look at certain repos,  I"m not sure it shows both installed and not installed
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> __nu11___: apt-cache policy packagename
[11:34] <Geralt> Hi, on askubuntu I've read that the new installers/partitioners can handle partition alignment for SSDs just fine, but how about the partitioner of the alternate install cd? is it true for that too?
[11:34] <very> i've deactivated automatic scrolling in the terminal preferences now. so it doesn't scroll to the end of the output when i run a command. but it only works if i scroll up before running the command.
[11:36] <very> isn't there a gui for this shell?
[11:36] <faryshta> I think most of my experience in this channel can be explained here http://bash.org/?152037
[11:36] <faryshta> take it as constructive criticism.
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> very: for what shell?
[11:37] <very> a gui for bash
[11:37] <SpitfireWP> lol
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> very: gnome-terminal is the gui.
[11:38] <faryshta> very, desktop environment is a 'GUI for bash'. What exactly are you looking for?
[11:39] <very> i think i haven't thought about this long enough.
[11:40] <sacarlson> faryshta: sad thing about your link is I think your right
[11:40] <very> i'll use a specific program with a gui then.
[11:40] <faryshta> very what are you looking to do?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> very: what is the goal?
[11:44] <Geralt> very: there are also different kinds of terminal programs. There are those where you need to write out what you want like bash and those which come with an interactive user-interface like top
[11:44] <jonathon> There's a Terminal with a user interface?
[11:44] <very> faryshta, currently i'm having a file with several lines separated by \n. each line consists of several words separated by a space. i want to split the file into several files, one file per line. and in each file one line per word.
[11:45] <very> going crazy in the process.
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> very: I'd ask in #bash too then
[11:45] <very> oh.. right, this problem isn't ubuntu specific.
[11:46] <needsupport> hi all
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> very: its good to ask in both
[11:46] <jonathon> needsupport, Gotta love a name like that :P
[11:46] <needsupport> my countrys offical web site team directing their web support look like their farm
[11:46] <jonathon> uhh...
[11:47] <needsupport> they are using support site not look like free ubuntu support
[11:47] <needsupport> look like gestopa camp
[11:47] <sacarlson> very: I would do it in ruby myself
[11:47] <needsupport> look like natzi camp
[11:47] <jonathon> needsupport, Which country?
[11:47] <needsupport> turkey
[11:47] <very> i tried many different sed commands. almost got it. but still doesn't work. matter of 5 minutes writing a java program to do the job. i'm not familiar with ruby.
[11:47] <needsupport> this is my second message for here
[11:48] <needsupport> i talked this problem with ikonia
[11:48] <very> well i think i write a java program. brb.
[11:48] <ikonia> needsupport: what do you want ?
[11:48] <needsupport> they are talking lies to me
[11:48] <jonathon> needsupport, this site? http://www.ubuntu-tr.net/
[11:48] <ikonia> needsupport: please join me in the channel #ubuntu-ops
[11:48] <needsupport> thanks
[11:48] <Geralt> very: it's easy to do that in bash, but if you're familiar with Java just use that language to do the job
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> very: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/bash-read-every-line-in-the-files-and-use-the-line-as-parameters-as-another-program-246291/   shows how to read through a file :)
[11:52] <Vivekananda> Hi everyone. In big trouble.
[11:53] <Vivekananda> Have a tracker/virus which redirects to something called "register.com" when I look for "xoticpc". I have a XP ubuntuu dual boot but never thought that ubuntuu would get affected by it. this happens in all browsers, mozilla, chrome.Help plz
[11:54] <sacarlson> Vivekananda: it must change your proxy in your browser
[11:55] <fidel> only for that specific search-phrase?
[11:55] <fidel> does it happen on both os'es?
[11:55] <fidel> Vivekananda: try to give us some more details
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: mozilla isn't a browser, its a software house, they make a browser called firefox
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: if you read /etc/hosts is there anything in there?
[11:56] <yrot32819> ActionParsnip: Mozilla isn't a software house, it's a software company
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: if you make a new user is it affected
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> yrot32819: oldschool term
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a
[11:56] <sacarlson> Vivekananda: or maybe it's in your adsl router?  or your using wifi?
[11:57] <Vivekananda> I mean I type www.xoticpc.com and it is sending me to some weird site also called xoticpc. I dont know about others but I tried the site on my phone but the site is fine. I am not sure how I get the same redirect from the ubuntu as well as the the XP (when I switch to it).
[11:57] <Vivekananda> I am doing all of the requests in turn . thanks for the quick replies
[11:57] <Vivekananda> AxtionParsnip: sorry about the mozilla thing
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: its cool :)
[11:58] <Sungrazer> gui
[11:59] <Vivekananda> ActionParsnip: /etc does not have /etc/hosts . Anyplace else I should look ? I have ubuntu lucid.
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: /etc/hosts is a file, does it have any reference to the site?
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: have you tried rebooting your router?
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: as its affecting both OSes I doubt its specifically ubuntu
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: do you use a proxy?
[12:00] <mi3> when we update from the terminal, why are kernel updates not downloaded and installed?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: if you run:  echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null      then try the web is it ok?
[12:00] <ikonia> mi3: it depends on your setup, they are
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> mi3: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:01] <ironhalik> What are the differences in KMS between livecd and fresh install on Nvidia setup?
[12:01] <ironhalik> for me, on livecd, plymouth works ok, but after installation, using nouveau drivers, I get ugly plymouth
[12:02] <mi3> doesn't sudo apt-get dist-upgrade upgrade your installation from 11.04 tp 11.10?
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: the installed OS is identical to the liveCD desktop
[12:02] <mi3> sorry *to
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> mi3: no, it just upgrades other stuff, upgrading to the next release is a different command
[12:02] <Vivekananda>  ActionParsnip:the output of /etc/hosts is http://pastebin.com/tA0YXkeU
[12:02] <mi3> oo
[12:02] <ironhalik> ActionParsnip: yeah, I would think so - yet I get broken plymouth on fresh install, and a working one on livecd
[12:02] <mi3> ActionParsnip, can you suggest what that other command is?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | mi3
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: hosts looks fine
[12:03] <mi3> ok, so the job of dist-upgrade is only to do kernel updates, and nothing else?
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> mi3: it will upgrade the OS as much as it can including kernel if deps are met
[12:04] <Vivekananda> ActionParsnip: lsb_release -a has this http://pastebin.com/kc4xCL31
[12:04] <lukasz_> http://www.mazurlukasz.pl/
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: did the command I gave help any, the one manipulating resolv.conf
[12:06] <mi3> wow..nice documentation
[12:06] <Vivekananda> ActionParsnip: I am trying all the instructions in turn and answering your questions.I am slow so please bear with me
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: its cool
[12:06] <christiaan> hey guys
[12:06] <christiaan> i have a little problem
[12:06] <christiaan> my normal graphical display won't work
[12:07] <christiaan> now i am in a tty
[12:07] <facebook2142> is there anyway to reset the ubuntu grub2 boot configurations? i ask because i tried to disable the splash screen, but that didn't work. now when i press the [esc] key, the verbose messages only show up right before the login manager is displayed.
[12:07] <Vivekananda> ActionParsnip: I used the same wifi router to connect to the internet with my phone but the site is ok there so is it a router issue?
[12:07] <christiaan> but how can i restore this?
[12:07] <christiaan> my graphical shit won't work here
[12:07] <christiaan> so now i am in a tty
[12:07] <Vivekananda> SO I have not tried rebooting the router
[12:07] <sacarlson> facebook2142: there is a working gui to change grub2 in ppa
[12:07] <christiaan> but how can i restore these shit
[12:07] <christiaan> i want my graphical user interface back ...
[12:07] <christiaan> xD
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> christiaan: what caused the issue?
[12:08] <christiaan> well, i started my computer
[12:08] <sacarlson> facebook2142: I found it here: https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer
[12:08] <christiaan> and i was like fuuuu, nothing is happening
[12:08] <christiaan> so i tried the recover modus
[12:08] <facebook2142> thx, sacarlson
[12:08] <christiaan> and the same thing was there
[12:09] <christiaan> so i did alt ctrl f*
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> christiaan: did you upgrade to the next release by any chance?
[12:09] <christiaan> no
[12:09] <christiaan> well there is one other thing
[12:09] <christiaan> i once installed mate
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> christiaan: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[12:09] <pangolin> christiaan, please keep the language clean
[12:09] <christiaan> and now my computer is linux mint 12 fluxbox
[12:09] <christiaan> but it was first ubuntu oneric
[12:09] <christiaan> i changed it many times back
[12:10] <christiaan> but it always was linuxmint 12 fluxbox again
[12:10] <pangolin> !mint
[12:10] <christiaan> yes, but this is ubuntu -.-
[12:10] <christiaan> but my os is always changing to mint
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> christiaan: no, it's mint
[12:10] <christiaan> why
[12:10] <christiaan> i installed ubuntu xD
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> christiaan: not supported here, it has its own support
[12:10] <christiaan> yes i know
[12:10] <christiaan> but i installed once mate on ubuntu
[12:11] <christiaan> and then it went to mint
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> christiaan: mate isn't supported hereeither
[12:11] <christiaan> i don't know why
[12:11] <christiaan> i deleted mate
[12:11] <Vivekananda> ActionParsnip: I do not use a proxy. I tried running the command you gave about resolv.conf and it Corrected ! the problem. Thanks a ton.
[12:11] <Myrtti> christiaan: "never mix distributions"
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: DNS poisoning dude
[12:11] <christiaan> but my os is always changing to mint xD
[12:11] <christiaan> hmm
[12:11] <Vivekananda> Okay now just tell me
[12:12] <Kuba> hey
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: the DNS you have has a redirect, if it is your router then it has been affected. I suggest you make the DNS change permanent by modifying the settings in network manager
[12:12] <christiaan> lsb_release -sc
[12:12] <christiaan> oops
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: as the file is generated at boot
[12:12] <Kuba> I'd like my kindle to autmount always to specified location; how should I do it? /etc/fstab and UUID?
[12:13] <christiaan> how weird
[12:13] <Vivekananda> please . What did I just do and how did it correct the problem and how do I do the same for the XP system. Please just give me something to read coz i dont want to take up your time.Favor on me so will try my best to return it!
[12:13] <Dr_willis> christiaan,  stop adding the mint repos then.
[12:13] <christiaan> when i do lsb_release -sc it says oneric
[12:13] <christiaan> ...
[12:13] <christiaan> OMG i think i know what i need to do
[12:13] <christiaan> can someone tho one thing for me?
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using
[12:13] <christiaan> can someone type in google mate for ubuntu
[12:13] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  i thought mine always mounts to /media/kindle
[12:13] <christiaan> and then get the second thing
[12:14] <christiaan> and then copypast the last step !
[12:14] <christiaan> i think that is how i can fix it
[12:14] <christiaan> can someone tho that (A)
[12:14] <Kuba> Dr_willis: what should I do e.g. to change that directory then?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: boot windows and see what your DNS servers, or reboot Ubuntu and run: cat /etc/resolv.conf    to see what you are using. Those are causing the issue
[12:14] <pangolin> christiaan, why can't you do it?
[12:14] <Vivekananda> ActionParsnip: Did I resolve the windows problem also with this change? Or do I have to do something for that separately too? Did I resolve it for my other computers in the lan?
[12:14] <christiaan> because i can't go in the graphical interface
[12:15] <christiaan> that isnt working atm xD
[12:15] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  not on ubuntu at the moment. but normally filesystems that have a "label" get mounted to /media/TheLableName
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: it will probably be the DNS
[12:15] <Kuba> Dr_willis: okay
[12:16] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  when i plug mine in it alwyas pops up the file manager anyway. :) so ive rarely noticed its mountpoint.
[12:16] <pangolin> christiaan, join  #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org they can give you the steps
[12:16] <Dr_willis> Mi kindel Fire may be differnt then the Kindle reader also.
[12:16] <Kuba> Dr_willis: I'm writing some scripts to autosync ebooks, so I'd like to make sure kindle is mounted at a given directory
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: reboot ubuntu and the dns wil be how they were before, then make a note and see what's what
[12:16] <christiaan> oh i know it, i went on my moms pc
[12:16] <christiaan> (A)
[12:16] <christiaan> i think i get it now
[12:16] <christiaan> xD
[12:17] <Kuba> Dr_willis: I'd rather not depend on "i though", you know
[12:17] <pangolin> christiaan, I'm glad you figured it out but mint/mate is not supported here. Please stop talking about it and join the proper support channel
[12:17] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  pop it in look where its mounting to.
[12:17] <Kuba> Dr_willis: mine's at /media/Kindle
[12:17] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  i use that Calibre program to sync my ebooks.
[12:18] <g0tGcc> :)
[12:18] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  so in theory it should always auto mount to there. thats the 'Label' of the filesystem on the book.
[12:18] <AndyUbuntu> hello everyone
[12:18] <christiaan> i think i am now fixing it (A)
[12:18] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  there can be cases where if it dosent unmount properly you can get added _'s to the end of the mountpoint.
[12:19] <AndyUbuntu> just a quick question, flash always asks if i want to use my webcam and microphone and i am unable to click allow
[12:19] <christiaan> guys is there a browser thing that i can run inside a tty?
[12:19] <Dr_willis> !info links
[12:19] <AndyUbuntu> this is very frustrating as I am not able to use the application
[12:19] <faryshta> christiaan, a terminal?
[12:19] <pangolin> christiaan, We don't support Mint here. last time I ask you to stop.
[12:19] <Kuba> Dr_willis: btw, can you manage collections from Calibre?
[12:20] <christiaan> i am not talking about mint -.-
[12:20] <christiaan> i think you don't understand what i mean now
[12:20] <Kuba> Dr_willis: last time I checked it, it didn't have that feature
[12:20] <pangolin> christiaan, you are running Mint and any support questions you ask are off topic.
[12:20] <g0tGcc> ...
[12:20] <christiaan> I am not using mint or something like that
[12:20] <Dr_willis> Kuba,  i tend to just use it to read the 'reviews/summary' of the books. then i coppied over a few 100+ books. :) havent needed to run it in ages.
[12:20] <christiaan> And i am not running Mint
[12:20] <christiaan> -.-
[12:20] <christiaan> as i said before
[12:20] <pangolin> christiaan, you added unsupported repos to your install.
[12:21] <faryshta> pangolin, cool story bro.
[12:21] <christiaan> i removed them now :=)
[12:21] <AndyUbuntu> may seem like a noob question
[12:21] <AndyUbuntu> though it just does not work :s
[12:21] <faryshta> pangolin, you are not being helpful and there is no part of the comunity guidelines forbidding users to install anything they want.
[12:21] <christiaan> but now i am just asking for a tty browser
[12:21] <christiaan> if someone knows one here
[12:21] <faryshta> pangolin, users are free to use the software as they please.
[12:21] <schnuffle> christiaan:  lynx
[12:21] <christiaan> thanks
[12:22] <Dr_willis> christiaan,  you got an answer.. 'links' or lynx.
[12:22] <pangolin> faryshta, there is a rule about supporting only Ubuntu and the official flavors. Mint is not one of them.
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> faryshta: sure but we can only support the packages from the official repos here
[12:22] <christiaan> thanks
[12:22] <Dr_willis> mate is definatly not an officially supported thang :)
[12:23] <faryshta> ActionParsnip, it was a question about official repos and alike.
[12:23] <mydogsnameisrudy> and he messed up and installed it , and wants to fix it
[12:23] <sddhrthrt> think we should help him.
[12:24] <faryshta> This isn't a tree house. You are not supposed to deny help to the kids who you don't like
[12:24] <schnuffle> Officially the mate question is really offtopic. To help him revert his system one would need to: Install mate, check the repo changes, check the instaaled packages and then give advice how to revert. I think nobody gonna do that
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> faryshta: if user is using something which is not ubuntu, its not supported here
[12:24]  * Dr_willis thinks we should move on.

[12:25] <sddhrthrt> Dr_willis: how do you do that?
[12:26] <maxagaz> how to check the health of hard drive ?
[12:26]  * Dr_willis wonders what sddhrthrt  is talking about.
[12:26] <sddhrthrt> the * Dr_willis thinks we should move on - thing
[12:26] <maxagaz> I remember there was an app for that
[12:26] <maxagaz> but I forgot the name
[12:26] <Myrtti> maxagaz: smartmontools?
[12:26] <schnuffle> faryshta: I think its more: If you change your system you should at least konw a bit about it. Otherwise the only help can be: Reinstall
[12:26] <Dr_willis> maxagaz,  thers some smart tools, and the disk tool has some info.. i forget its name also. :)
[12:27] <maxagaz> Myrtti, Dr_willis, an app that used to be provided with ubuntu
[12:27] <Vivekananda> The DNS has been changed now for this session isnt it. I just have to make it permanent. Do I have to this separately for windows xp or do I have to log into the router interface and change it there?
[12:27] <maxagaz> maybe it's still provided
[12:27] <sacarlson> maxagaz: I see it in disk utility to view status and run S.M.A.R.T
[12:27] <maxagaz> something that replaced gparted
[12:27] <schnuffle> maxagaz: smartctl maybe?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: you will need to do it in WIndows too.
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: have the DNS's in your router changed too?
[12:28] <sddhrthrt> people : What is the use of
[12:28] <sddhrthrt> people : What is the use of  -dev packages? how do you use them?
[12:28] <Vivekananda> I will try and come back
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: for when you are compiling usually
[12:28] <sddhrthrt> May sound like a silly question, but never really understood the use. Where will the source code be? how do you compile the obtained code?
[12:29] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt: It contains all header files and so on to compile the package or packages that need to link against it
[12:29] <sddhrthrt> ... how do you compile the obtained code?
[12:29] <dboehmer> hello
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: they are used if you want your program needs to use the library or app, it gives the methods used to communicate with the app/library
[12:29] <dboehmer> i need some help with KVM (libvirt) and busybox installed
[12:29] <Dr_willis> !compile
[12:29] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt: you need the src code to compile the package, but its enough to install the dev package if another tool requires it
[12:29] <dboehmer> after i installed busybox KVM fails to start VMs
[12:30] <schnuffle> dboehmer:  does the kvm start script uses tools not availlable in busybox?
[12:31] <dboehmer> schnuffle, i don't know. hoped to get information about that here.
[12:31] <AndyUbuntu> there is a bug on adobe flash player which will not allow you to clikc and allow access for microphone and camera
[12:31] <dboehmer> schnuffle, i use busybox in the initrd to open LUKS encrypted root fs. ordinary shell is bash
[12:31] <AndyUbuntu> anyone know how this can be fixed?
[12:32] <Dr_willis> AndyUbuntu,  been similer bugs for ages. seen numerous work arounds  over the last few years. such as 'hold down right mouse button, then try to click on them'
[12:32] <sddhrthrt> schnuffle: okay.. now getting the idea. i was compiling bitblee from source because ubuntu 10.04 has a really very old bitlbee in its repository. is there a way of getting a new version other than compiling?
[12:32] <AndyUbuntu> Dr_willis, ok thanks
[12:32] <AndyUbuntu> i will give that a go
[12:32] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt:  !ppa
[12:32] <schnuffle> !ppa
[12:32] <AndyUbuntu> is ther another work around?
[12:33] <drvanon> does anybody know recordmydesktop?
[12:33] <Dr_willis> AndyUbuntu,  most likely several listed on the forums and askubuntu.com site. I dont rember them all.
[12:33] <schnuffle> dboehmer:  hmm, what happens if you start kvm later on in a terminal? Does it still not start? Does the syslog tells you something about a problem?
[12:33] <drvanon> cause it coninutally exits with error 2304
[12:33] <dboehmer> schnuffle, the error i got complains about an error in '"/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 996'
[12:33] <AndyUbuntu> Dr_willis, ok thanks
[12:34] <sacarlson> !recordmydesktop
[12:34] <drvanon> yes
[12:34] <drvanon> it says it can't connect to xserver
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: tried any alternatives?
[12:34] <dboehmer> schnuffle, the whole text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/911417/
[12:34] <drvanon> what do you mean?
[12:34] <faryshta> Which is the url to deploy war files on tomcat?
[12:35] <drvanon> xvidcap? and the sort
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: have youtried any alternatives to recordmydesktop?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: and the rest...yes
[12:35] <sddhrthrt> schnuffle: so, if i am right, i'll need dev of all the packages that are required for compilation?
[12:35] <drvanon> yes, but recordmydesktop complies to my needs the best
[12:35] <schnuffle> dboehmer:  so the problem is somehow more a ssh connection problem and you try to connect from remote?
[12:35] <drvanon> do you recommend anything?
[12:36] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt: yes
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> drvanon: try as many as you can
[12:36] <sddhrthrt> schnuffle: is there a way to automatically install -dev for all the dependencies of a program?
[12:37] <dboehmer> schnuffle, argh, yes, the pasted error was a problem with the SSH config. the username was incorrect. however, there is still the problem. just a different error message m(
[12:37] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt:  there's a way to get all dependencis if the source is a deb package

[12:37] <tkruise> can I 'search' for keywords in aptitude?
[12:38] <jasonmsp> hey all..  I've setup a file association in filezilla using the standard syntax xyz /user/bin/bluefish to open with bluefish editor.  What do I add to the end of that line to get it to open in the current instance of the editor, rather than opening another bluefish dialogue?
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> tkruise: you can use:  apt-cache search wordtosearch
[12:39] <schnuffle> dboehmer: sure that root has a bash shell?
[12:39] <tkruise> thankyou ActionParsnip
[12:39] <dboehmer> schnuffle, i changed the host to login as my user
[12:39] <schnuffle> dboehmer: and it worked logging in as your user?
[12:40] <sddhrthrt> ok. i'm in a small mess here. i wanted bitlbee 3.05. 10.04 has only 1.x. so i added the nightly builds repo http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/ and apt-get updated. now, i can see these extra packages - bitlbee-dev 3.05 and bitlbee-common 3.05. bitlbee is still 1.x. Why?
[12:40] <awss> hello. can anyone recomend me a linux (ubuntu) channel for beginers? (I just discovered linux)
[12:40] <dboehmer> schnuffle, no, when logging in as my user i come to the VM list but cannot start any, error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/911419/
[12:41] <sddhrthrt> ok. i'm in a small mess here. i wanted bitlbee 3.05. 10.04 has only 1.x. so i added the nightly builds repo http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/ and apt-get updated. now, i can see these extra packages - bitlbee-dev 3.05 and bitlbee-common 3.05. bitlbee is still 1.x. Why? schnuffle
[12:41] <schnuffle> dboehmer: so you've changed severall things, now its not working. How do you relate your problem to busybox?
[12:42] <mugrasiclashotep> tkruise:if I understand what you are looking for you can also search in aptitude for words in the package description by pressing / to get a search field, then ~d followed by the word to search for
[12:42] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt: because you haven't done an aptitude upgrade
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:42] <dboehmer> schnuffle, never mind that SSH problem. i had tested this in my local network before moving the host box to the "ISP". i removed and installed busybox and could verify that ONLY doing that changed the ability to start VMs
[12:43] <sddhrthrt> thanks schnuffle dboehmer i'll try.

[12:44] <sddhrthrt> eh?
[12:44] <AndyUbuntu> Dr_willis do you know where i can find the answers to this, I have tried the right click and it is not working
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: try:  apt-cache seanbright bitlbee
[12:44] <Dr_willis> AndyUbuntu,  the forums, and askubuntu.com  i mentioned earlier.
[12:44] <faryshta> Which is the url to deploy war files on tomcat?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: it may be listed as a seperate version, in which case you will need to uninstall the old
[12:45] <sddhrthrt> Invalid operation seanbright
[12:45] <sddhrthrt> ActionParsnip: Invalid operation seanbright
[12:45] <AndyUbuntu> which forum would be best to look as I have gone through as ubunt
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt:  apt-cache search bitlbee
[12:45] <AndyUbuntu> I will prob have to ask the question myself
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: tab habit ;)
[12:45] <Dr_willis> AndyUbuntu,  i just use the search features.   i tend to use askubuntu.com 99% of the time these days
[12:45] <AndyUbuntu> on the askubuntu pages
[12:46] <AndyUbuntu> ahh ok, thatnks. I will have another look
[12:46] <Dr_willis> AndyUbuntu,  search first.. i imagine theres very few questions asked in here thats Not allready been asked on askubuntu.com
[12:46] <schnuffle> dboehmer: can you use su on busybox. I'm not an expert for busybox, so I'm just guessing
[12:46] <AndyUbuntu> yeah
[12:46] <sddhrthrt> okay, ActionParsnip stupid question: can i uninstall bitlbee while i'm using bitlbee? :P
[12:46] <jpds> sddhrthrt: Yes.
[12:46] <sddhrthrt> :D thanks jpds
[12:47] <Repox> Hello. I'm currently trying to install ImageMagick on my Ubuntu server. I tested ImageMagick on my Ubuntu desktop to see if I got the results I needed. Trying to convert a SVG file to something else fails on my Ubuntu server, but works fine on my Ubuntu desktop. It seems that ImageMagick, installed through apt-get (on both enviroments) has different configurations. Can I reconfigure a package?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: log off it then uninstall it, reinstall new then reconnect
[12:47] <sddhrthrt> okay. serious problem. the reinstallation installed bitlbee 1.x again. any clues, ActionParsnip ?
[12:47] <dboehmer> schnuffle, i tried to open a shell with "busybox" but i only get a help text... *surprised*
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> Repox: usually it's just:  sudo apt-get install imagemagick
[12:48] <sddhrthrt> ok. i'm in a small mess here. i wanted bitlbee 3.05. 10.04 has only 1.x. so i added the nightly builds repo http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/ and apt-get updated. now, i can see these extra packages - bitlbee-dev 3.05 and bitlbee-common 3.05. bitlbee is still 1.x. Why? ActionParsnip
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: did you see the other version in the apt-cache search?
[12:48] <sddhrthrt> ActionParsnip: no.
[12:48] <Cookie2> hello guys I got a REALLY big problem. I lost my password by accident. Actually I don't know how it changed today. I cannot log in anymore after booting my notebook. How do I get my data back? I encrypted my home-directory so even with a bootable USB-Stick I cannot get access to the data. HELP PLS!!!! :// The data is highly important for me!
[12:48] <Repox> ActionParsnip: Okay, this didn't fix the issue which means it can't be done...
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> Repox: then run:  convert input.svg output.png   for example
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Cookie2: boot to root recovery mode and you can reset your password there
[12:50] <JelloPop> myhero1: hello
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Cookie2: I suggest you get a BACKUP system, then your data will never be in jeapordy. The fact you don't is pretty poor
[12:50] <sddhrthrt> ActionParsnip: can you try and reproduce my problem?
[12:50] <naruto> is any prob to install a new Ubuntu ?
[12:51] <sddhrthrt> ActionParsnip: can you try installing bitlbee from that repo code.bitlbee.org/debian/ ?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: what, convert an svg to a png. I've done it many times
[12:51] <Repox> ActionParsnip: I did, I just get: convert: missing an image filename `test.png' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2838.
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: oh, I don't use bitlebee
[12:51] <dboehmer> schnuffle, i read the error message again and removed the serial device from the VM. it is now running. i promise I checked (de)installing busybox but i have NO clue how that could cause that error!
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Repox: are you manipulating files in your home folder?
[12:52] <Cookie2> yeah ActionParsnip I back up on my server and my extern HDD but the last 1 week I didn't because my server crashed ... usually it backs up automatically.  What do you mean by root recovery mode? How do I boot it. I have never been in such a situation yet, where I had to use it.
[12:52] <dboehmer> schnuffle, nevertheless. thank you for your effort! because i don't need serial i'll stick with removing serial devices from my VMs
[12:52] <johnm> sddhrthrt: if you run "apt-cache policy bitlbee" and paste it into pastebin or something, then paste the link in here.
[12:52] <Repox> ActionParsnip: Yes?
[12:52] <schnuffle> dboehmer:  sorry I could be more helpfull
[12:53] <sddhrthrt> johnm: in a minute
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> Repox: try: convert filename.svg ~/output.png
[12:54] <facebook2142> if i install dropbox from a .deb package, can it be easily removed through ubuntu-software-center or synaptic if i need to do so?

[12:55] <Pudaburocyon> Hi, how do I change my hostname?
[12:55] <Repox> ActionParsnip: lucid
[12:55] <johnm> sddhrthrt: so tjhat fairly clearly shows that you only have 2 candidate versions, an updated one in lucid-updates and an older one in lucid
[12:56] <Guest73662> hi all... short question: when i install ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 now, will i get all updates automatically till 12.04 final? does it mean it's the same whether i install beta 1 now and get all the updates till final release or wait till 26th april (and only with this version all updates for 12.04 will start)?
[12:56] <johnm> sddhrthrt: I presume you're trying to install a newer version, by adding a newer repository?
[12:56] <sddhrthrt> johnm: yes. but the newer version is 3.05.x. not 1.2.4
[12:56] <Pudaburocyon> The config file which usually does it is something odd in ubuntu
[12:57] <johnm> sddhrthrt: not according to the policy it isn't. you can see the two eligible versions in that paste. Are you sure you added a new repository, and it's definately enabled?
[12:57] <Cookie2> ActionParsnip never mind. I booted into the recovery mode. thnx =)
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Cookie2: get a backup
[12:57] <sddhrthrt> yes, yes. how can i confirm that for you?

[12:58] <troulouliou_dev> hi is there a command to see the ipv6 arp cache ?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Repox: are there any bugs reported?
[12:58] <jabirali> Pudaburocyon: Edit /etc/hostname, and remember to update /etc/hosts afterwords.
[12:59] <sddhrthrt> johnm: http://pastebin.com/0m35irHf
[13:00] <johnm> sddhrthrt: looks to me like its ignoring it. (hence the ign)
[13:00] <sddhrthrt> ah. what should i do?
[13:00] <johnm> ah, sorry misreading :)
[13:00] <sddhrthrt> yes.
[13:00] <sddhrthrt> it hit once so it ignored.
[13:00] <johnm> paste the output of apt-cache policy
[13:00] <Guest70227> alias
[13:00] <johnm> if you don't see the repository listed, it's not being used.

[13:01] <Pudaburocyon> jabirali, cheers
[13:01] <Cookie2> ActionParsnip I got a terminal. What do I have to do next? In my home directory there's only one file: Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop. How do I get access to my files?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> Cookie2: run:  passwd nameofuser
[13:01] <facebook2142> thx
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> Cookie2: then run:  reboot    to reboot
[13:02] <sddhrthrt> johnm: before we waste more time, letme confirm: deb http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/devel/testing/amd64/ ./  - is thiis line valid?
[13:02] <sddhrthrt> what is the ./ doing in the end? johnm
[13:02] <johnm> sddhrthrt: simply saying the repo location is found in that location on the url specified.
[13:02] <Cookie2> ActionParsnip I get an error: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error, password unchanged
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> Cookie2: sounds like its mounted read only
[13:03] <Cookie2> which means?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> Cookie2: you may need a liveCD and mount it writable
[13:03] <sddhrthrt> ah. ok. and my apt-cache policy - 500 http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/devel/testing/amd64/ ./ Packages release c=
[13:03] <sddhrthrt> :/ johnm this is really annoying.
[13:03] <Repox> ActionParsnip: I don't think there is reported any bugs (besides something with ruby). No PPA. It seems like theres a difference between the two versions I'm trying it on.
[13:03] <sddhrthrt> either i'm missing somethnig very obvious or its weird!
[13:03] <johnm> sddhrthrt: and there is nothing in /etc/apt/preferences? (that should have showed in your policy output)
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> Repox: i'd report a bug. Is the Lucid install new?
[13:05] <Repox> ActionParsnip: No, the install is about a year old.

[13:22] <johnm> sddhrthrt: I'd recommend google. To kickstart the process, check out "update-rc.d"
[13:22] <dackyshawn> :\
[13:22] <krod2389> lJ6il: Did you configure your own GD extension? It's usually a .so file, not Windows dll...
[13:22] <myhero1> any1 help....
[13:22] <schnuffle> !anyone | myhero
[13:22] <lJ6il> krod2389, i added in this folder all libgd.so files i found. And i tried to replace it in php.ini but nope
[13:22] <myhero1> how to install apps offline frm .tar.gz files copied on desktop
[13:22] <ikonia> myhero1: what are you trying to install ?
[13:22] <ikonia> lJ6il: are you running this on ubuntu ?
[13:23] <myhero1> winrar linux version
[13:23] <schnuffle> myhero1: Depends what is in that archive?
[13:23] <ikonia> myhero1: that's inthe repo
[13:23] <lJ6il> ikonia, yep.
[13:23] <myhero1> but i wanna install offline
[13:23] <ikonia> lJ6il: why are you not using the lamp stack provided by ubuntu ?
[13:23] <krod2389> lJ6il: You shouldn't need to move any files with xampp or reconfigure it. You just download the software, and it comes with all the extensions bundled. You simply have to uncomment out the ones you require. I've used it on Ubuntu myself
[13:23] <ikonia> !rar | myhero1
[13:23] <langhun> hi
[13:23] <ikonia> myhero1: you don't want to compile rar for no reason
[13:23] <lJ6il> krod2389, : "Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'libgd.so' in Unknown on line 0"
[13:24] <shaunatowell> quick question: is there a way to take over a terminal... i.e. i ssh in from work, then ssh in from somewhere else... is there a way to take over the terminal session I started at work so I can see it at home
[13:24] <myhero1> @ikonia can we pri chat
[13:24] <lJ6il> ikonia, what do you mean the "lamp stack" (sorry, i'm french)
[13:24] <ikonia> !lamp | lJ6il
[13:24] <schnuffle> shaunatowell: you can use screen to achieve this
[13:24] <ikonia> myhero1: there is no need to private chat
[13:24] <myhero1> ikonia.....private chat
[13:24] <myhero1> kkk
[13:24] <ikonia> myhero1: there is no need to private chat
[13:24] <myhero1> kk
[13:25] <dv310p3r> WTF! Why is GNOME 3 so bad? I mean I'm really trying here. But why can't I put my monitors where I want to? It was such a universal feature in all desktop environments, why not in Gnome 3?
[13:25] <ikonia> !wtf > dv310p3r
[13:25] <lJ6il> ok i'll try this... Thanks ikonia
[13:25] <myhero1> see the problem is m running ubuntu oneiric live usb edition
[13:25] <ikonia> myhero1: ok, that doesn't change anything
[13:25] <myhero1> n everytime i boot i hve 2 update n install everything fresh coz its live
[13:25] <myhero1> its wastage of bandwidth
[13:25] <krod2389> dv310p3r: In a nutshell, the Gnome developers think every user is an idiot. You're not even allowed to easily turn off your computer.
[13:25] <ikonia> myhero1: and if you install from a tar file - you'll need top re-instrall it, because it's live
[13:25] <irenicus09> there is need to pv chat :P
[13:26] <speakman> Anyone knows if Ubuntu has Ext4 Online Defragmentation activated by default?
[13:26] <Benkinooby> anyone else noticed upowerd getting quite busy when battery is at low level
[13:26] <myhero1> meaning ?
[13:26] <ikonia> speakman: shouldn't need to defrag it
[13:26] <ikonia> myhero1: exactly what I've just said
[13:26] <irenicus09> what is online defrag o.0
[13:26] <Benkinooby> anyone else noticed upowerd getting quite busy when battery is at low level - i use ubuntu 10.04 and fluxbox as GUI
[13:26] <speakman> ikonia: why?
[13:26] <dv310p3r> krod2389, I noticed that also. So what am I to do?
[13:26] <ikonia> speakman: defragmentation is not a common task on ext file systems
[13:26] <satyanash> I have banshee running but it isnt showing up in pgrep or ps -e | grep ? How is this possible ?
[13:26] <speakman> irenicus09: continous defragmentation while mounted and running
[13:27] <ikonia> speakman: why do you think your file system is fragmented ?
[13:27] <speakman> ikonia: I know, but why isn't it needed?
[13:27] <myhero1> i didnt understood what u said
[13:27] <sddhrthrt> excellent. johnm Server: bitlbee-3.0.5. localhost Linux/i686
[13:27] <irenicus09> speakman: may be cos its a journaling file system? :P
[13:27] <myhero1> can u elaborate
[13:27] <sddhrthrt> johnm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bitlbee/Latest
[13:27] <ikonia> speakman: because the ext file systems don't fragment easy
[13:27] <speakman> ikonia: Ext4 is a simple, although secure, file system. It will be fragmented as any other file systems. Unless there's online defragmentation.
[13:27] <speakman> ikonia: Why isn't it?
[13:27] <ikonia> myhero1: if you install rar from source (tar.gz) it will still be deleted like if you install it from the repos
[13:27] <sddhrthrt> johnm: my bad, i should've gon through what looked like an outdated page on ubuntu doc:D
[13:28] <ikonia> speakman: because of it's design, have a little research on it
[13:28] <myhero1> yeah
[13:28] <myhero1> but how  install it frm tar
[13:28] <myhero1> how 2
[13:28] <speakman> ikonia: That's not an argument
[13:28] <ikonia> speakman: I'm not trying to argue
[13:28] <ikonia> myhero1: you do'nt wnat to do that
[13:28] <ikonia> myhero1: use the repo version
[13:29] <myhero1> everytime i hve 2 do it - its wastage of bandwidth
[13:29] <ikonia> speakman: I'm just informing you that you shouldn't need to defragment unless you have reason to believe it's fragmented (which is why I asked why you thought it was fragmented)
[13:29] <krod2389> speakman: Educate yourself before making sweeping untrue statements
[13:29] <ikonia> myhero1: yes, and downloading a tar.gz every time is a waste of bandwidth
[13:29] <myhero1> no i hve downloaded tar.gz n saved it
[13:30] <ikonia> myhero1: download the winrar deb and it's dependecnies and save it
[13:30] <myhero1> now i only copy that tar file 2 desktop n want 2 install frm it
[13:30] <ikonia> myhero1: or even better "install" ubuntu
[13:30] <ikonia> myhero1: rather than running it from a livecd
[13:31] <speakman> ikonia: I'm talking theories. Eventually it will become fragmented as any other filesystems.
[13:31] <ikonia> speakman: not really. it's only rare situations it will
[13:32] <myhero1> m a windows guy.....win7 got crashed so i got the hdd out for recovery
[13:32] <schnuffle> speakman: to my knowledge the defrag tools for ext aren't ready for production
[13:32] <speakman> krod2389: That's what I'm trying to do. But I can't find any information regarding the fragmentation issues. And "because it doesn't" really doesn't help.
[13:32] <myhero1> now i wanna try n learn ubuntu so rnning it frm usb
[13:32] <ikonia> speakman: it's quite well documented
[13:32] <ikonia> myhero1: ok, then you should download the packages from the repos
[13:32] <speakman> schnuffle: Why are there defrag tools when there's no need for it? @ikonia
[13:32] <myhero1> when i'll b lil bit used 2 this then i'll install it
[13:32] <krod2389> speakman: Stating "it will be as fragmented as other file systems" isn't true. Which file systems? NTFS for example? The architecture is very different
[13:32] <myhero1> how 2 do it ?
[13:32] <ikonia> speakman: there is a "need" for the tools, but it's rare cases
[13:32] <sddhrthrt> speakman: ext4 is not supposed to fragment. i dont understand why you think its fragmented.
[13:33] <myhero1> n what about linux packages offered by the parent co.'s
[13:33] <speakman> krod2389: NTFS has online defragmentation. So does ZFS, which makes it so famous.
[13:33] <ikonia> myhero1: use the ubuntu repos
[13:33] <myhero1> then they all will b useless
[13:33] <krod2389> speakman: NTFS is a pile of shit. Look at the drivers.
[13:33] <foo357> Hello
[13:33] <ikonia> myhero1: they are not useless
[13:34] <myhero1> then
[13:34] <A_I_> hi
[13:34] <speakman> sddhrthrt: why is it NOT fragmented? Unless someone tells me WHY it can't be fragmented, it will.
[13:34] <sddhrthrt> speakman: ext4, unlike ntfs or zfs, does NOT fragment!
[13:34] <myhero1> how 2 use those original files
[13:34] <ikonia> speakman: it's well documented, have a look
[13:34] <myhero1> i got tar.gz on my desktop
[13:34] <A_I_> I'm looking for some doc about plymouth themes and plugins
[13:34] <shaunatowell> schnuffle: i know if someone is on the other terminal they can type "screen bash" and I can type "screen -x" and see and interact with it.. but how can I use screen to see another terminal WITHOUT user interaction on the other end
[13:34] <ikonia> myhero1: you don't use those - they won't build without dependencies
[13:34] <schnuffle> speakman: the info that a ext systen can't fragment is wrong. It is good at avoiding it
[13:34] <ikonia> myhero1: downloading the dependencies will be bigger than just downloading the rar package each time
[13:34] <ikonia> myhero1: use the unrar package in the ubuntu repos
[13:34] <krod2389> speakman: Just look at the EXT4 code, it's obvious
[13:34] <myhero1> k
[13:35] <ikonia> it's not obvious in the code
[13:35] <ikonia> but the ext documentation is quite good
[13:35] <speakman> schnuffle: thanks
[13:35] <myhero1> i unrared the files
[13:35] <myhero1> now what
[13:35] <foo357> I had to manually install packages python-wxgtk2.8 and python-wxversion, the problem is tha they depend upon eachother. So I did, "dpkg -i --force-deps python-wxversion" and then "dpkg -i python-wxgtk2.8"
[13:35] <mi3> hey guys, after we select the "encrypt my home folder" option, we get that passphrase, right? how can we utilize that passphrase? any suggestions?
[13:35] <speakman> sddhrthrt: again, that's not an arguments. It's a statement. Point me to a source for your statement.
[13:35] <ikonia> mi3 utilize that passphrase ?
[13:35] <foo357> can I be sure that these two packages are now properly configured
[13:36] <SwiftOffice> Can someone recommend guidelines for creating a bootable Ubuntu USB drive?
[13:36] <ikonia> speakman: read the ext documentation, there is also some solid information in kernel release notes
[13:36] <mi3> yes, ikonia
[13:36] <ikonia> mi3: what do you mean ?
[13:36] <family> good morning, does anybody want to help me with grub booting? I have no ideal what to change, I installed xubuntu over regular ubuntu and now when I boot the PC the internet will not work, but when I select the older version it works fine.
[13:36] <sddhrthrt> anyway, speakman ext4 systems are known to last for very, very long time without fragmenting. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368737
[13:36] <Geralt> SwiftOffice: use the program usb-creator-gtk shipped with Ubuntu :)
[13:36] <mi3> I mean that the passphrase must be for something, ikonia
[13:36] <sddhrthrt> speakman: i think you should've used google first, before getting into so many arguments.
[13:36] <schnuffle> shaunatowell: So your scenario is: You have somebody working in a terminal without using screen and you search for a opportunity to connect to it?
[13:36] <myhero1> ikonia....
[13:36] <ikonia> myhero1: what ?
[13:37] <myhero1> what 2 do then...suggest /
[13:37] <myhero1> ?
[13:37] <esing2> hi
[13:37] <ikonia> myhero1: I suggest you install the unrar package from the ubuntu repos
[13:37] <esing2> how do i change my password in ubuntu
[13:37] <SwiftOffice> Thanks Geralt - no surprise it would be that simple.
[13:37] <myhero1> how 2 get then
[13:37] <myhero1> them
[13:37] <mydogsnameisrudy> myhero1:  needs a peersistent usb
[13:37] <mi3> unrar....thanks for reminding...
[13:37] <myhero1> k
[13:37] <esing2> if I write sudo *something*  i have to enter a password, but I want to change that one , how ?
[13:37] <ikonia> myhero1: open the package manager, search for unrar and install it
[13:37] <Geralt> the easiest way to defragment is to backup your data, then format the partition and copy your data back
[13:37] <ikonia> esing2: change your own user password
[13:38] <myhero1> u mean synaptics ?
[13:38] <ikonia> myhero1: sure
[13:38] <esing2> ikonia so the password iam asked for after writing "sudo" is my user password ?
[13:38] <sddhrthrt> Geralt: right. that's what the thread says, too. :)
[13:38] <mi3> ??
[13:38] <ikonia> esing2: correct
[13:38] <ikonia> mi3: what ??
[13:38] <mi3> I mean that the passphrase must be for something, ikonia
[13:38] <myhero1> this live usb doesn't has snapticcs
[13:38] <myhero1> i hve 2 do it frm terminal
[13:38] <ikonia> mi3: is a pass phrase you set
[13:38] <ikonia> mi3: it has software center
[13:38] <mi3> what is that passphrase for?
[13:38] <ikonia> mi3: use that
[13:38] <ikonia> mi3: decrypting the home dir
[13:38] <sddhrthrt> myhero1: its synaptic
[13:38] <ikonia> mi3: remember when I said read https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics
[13:39] <ikonia> mi3: have you done that ?
[13:39] <myhero1> how 2 do it frm terminal
[13:39] <mi3> so when do we need to decrypt that home folder, ikonia?
[13:39] <ikonia> myhero1: use software center
[13:39] <esing2> ikonia good to know , thanks. do i change it with : sudo passwd my-user-account     ?
[13:39] <ikonia> mi3: when you want to read what's on the encypted drive
[13:39] <mi3> I used that link, ikonia, thanks
[13:39] <mi3> ok..so how to apply it?
[13:39] <myhero1> yea synaptic...
[13:39] <AddeBC> Hi, i installed a package using dpkg -i mypackage.deb    and now i wish to remove that package, how do i go about? Thanks
[13:39] <ikonia> esing2: that can work sure
[13:39] <ikonia> esing2: or the user admin gui
[13:39] <schnuffle> esing2:  as user its enough to do passwd
[13:39] <ikonia> mi3: what ?
[13:39] <ikonia> mi3: you are not making any sense
[13:40] <mi3> ikonia, let me improve the sentence.... :)
[13:41] <myhero1> how 2 do it frm software center
[13:41] <magicJ> I have a system that auto connects by ethernet to the modem/router when it boots or I manually ask it to.  If the modem/router re-boots it does not re-connect and I need to do it manually, why?
[13:41] <mi3> ikonia, how can the passphrase be used to decrypt the home folder? is it to be used from a live cd? Is it used to decrypt and recover the data?
[13:41] <bastidrazor> AddeBC: you should be able to sudo apt-get remove packagename   ..what was the name of .deb?
[13:41] <schnuffle> AddeBC:  you do sudo apt-get remove <package>
[13:41] <ikonia> mi3: the pass phrased is used when ever you want to decrypt the data on the disk for use
[13:41] <ikonia> mi3: that can be from when you boot up the machine, to any point after that
[13:41] <sysrpl> can someone help me get my application switcher working? i'm on 11.10 and am using gnome classic. when i alt tab right now nothng happens. 've messed with compiz settings manager and i can't get it the application switcher working at all
[13:42] <mi3> ikonia, so how do I input that passphrase? simply type it in the terminal or what? whats the correct method?
[13:42] <ikonia> mi3: you will be prompted for it
[13:42] <ikonia> mi3: do you currently have an encrypted disk, yes/no
[13:42] <mi3> no
[13:43] <ikonia> mi3: right, do you wnat to encypt a disk
[13:43] <mi3> yes
[13:43] <sddhrthrt> sysrpl: add the shortcut in System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[13:44] <ikonia> mi3: so did you read the encyption guide on the https://help.ubuntu.com guide that I've given you 3 times and you've said you read
[13:44] <Guest70227> nick tonvin
[13:45] <sddhrthrt> slash, Guest70227, Slash!
[13:45] <mi3> I dont think its there, I guess it just contains the basics, I dont think encrytion is the basics, I think its a little more advanced, dont you thin?
[13:45] <mi3> *think?
[13:45] <ikonia> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome
[13:45] <ikonia> mi3: it's there
[13:45] <mi3> err ok
[13:45] <tafelpoot> hi all
[13:45] <ikonia> mi3: what is the point of people writing these detailed guides with information if you don't read them
[13:46] <sddhrthrt> hey guys. i compiled bitlbee from source, installed xinetd and configured xinetd to start bitlbee. now, in bitlbee, i'm unable to connect to any server. why?
[13:46] <ikonia> sddhrthrt: bitlbee is in the repos
[13:46] <ikonia> sddhrthrt: is there a reason you didn't use it from the repos ?
[13:46] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt: any logs?
[13:47] <mi3> ikonia, this guide is for ubuntu 9.10, will the instructions contained in it work for ubuntu 11.04? I am using that one currently
[13:47] <sddhrthrt> ikonia: its 1.2.x in repos - i'm on ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[13:47] <sddhrthrt> schnuffle: err.. one sec.
[13:47] <ikonia> mi3: yes, the base principals are the same
[13:47] <tafelpoot> 3 hosts: A, B and C, A can ping B, B can ping C, A can't ping C... when I run tcpdump, I see the icmp requests of C arriving on A but no answers are sent. ping C from A doesn't generate any traffic...
[13:47] <sddhrthrt> schnuffle: any idea where to check?
[13:47] <ikonia> sddhrthrt: do you need a different version ?
[13:48] <sddhrthrt> ikonia: drastically newer, 3.05. all commands are revamped. i'm helpless.
[13:48] <tafelpoot> anyone an idea?
[13:48] <schnuffle> sddhrthrt:  syslog
[13:48] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: check your firewall rules
[13:48] <tafelpoot> no firewall rules present
[13:48] <ikonia> sddhrthrt: telnet to the port - make sure xinet is launched
[13:48] <krod2389> sddhrthrt: Does bitlbee give you any output on the terminal
[13:49] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: no fw present
[13:49] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: do you think so or have you checked sudo iptables -L
[13:49] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: iptables is present on default install
[13:49] <shaunatowell> schnuffle: sorry i was away for a sec.. no the scenario is I strt and ssh session at work and dont want to interrupt what it's doing so I leave it connected.  When I go home I want to be able to bring the terminal that I left open at work up on my machine at home, but since no one will be at my work machine i need to be able to take it over witout user intervention
[13:50] <sddhrthrt> krod2389: since it runs on boot, ther's no terminal attached to it.
[13:50] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: I am sure ;-) (and rechecked it specially for you ;-))
[13:51] <schnuffle> shaunatowell: thats exactlly what screen does. When you leave your büro you detach your session with ctrl+A+D And at home you connect with ssh and reattach to your session. If only one is present screen -r will do
[13:51] <sddhrthrt> ikonia: ok.how do you do that? i'm a noob at telnet.
[13:51] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: fine
[13:51] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: can A use other services from C like ssh?
[13:52] <speakman> sddhrthrt: I did use Google but couldn't find any information. That's why I ended up in here. But everyone just got statements.
[13:52] <tafelpoot> nope... I found the problem because puppet couldn't connect to the puppet server
[13:52] <tafelpoot> (C is puppet server)
[13:53] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: they are all in the same network? Connect with a switch?
[13:53] <amarcolino> are there any issues with ubuntu 12.4? I have installed it without a problem but when it comes to booting all I get is a black screen.
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> amarcolino: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support pleae
[13:53] <schnuffle> amarcolino: mostly due to graphic module problems
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> mostly due to it not being stable or ready
[13:53] <amarcolino> ActionParsnip, thanks
[13:54] <sddhrthrt> speakman: check out the link i just sent.
[13:54] <sddhrthrt> krod2389: http://pastebin.com/ydKu4XxViko ikonia
[13:54] <mi3> ikonia, it tell wonderful stories about how to encrypt the home folder, but it shows nothing about decrypting that!
[13:55] <_jk_> (join #ubuntu-es-cafe
[13:55] <mi3> sorry *tells
[13:55] <ikonia> mi3: it does if you read me
[13:55] <_jk_> (join #ubuntu-es-cafe
[13:55] <sddhrthrt> mi3: there is no neeed to decrypt your home folder, unless you actually want to recover data at a later time and you dont have access to your user account
[13:55] <mi3> hello pungi_man
[13:55] <mi3> hahahaha
[13:55] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: they are in the same subnet, the switchconfig is for A and B the same
[13:56] <pungi_man> thanks for the name mi3
[13:56] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: in the same vlan
[13:56] <sddhrthrt> krod2389: ikonia i think i found it myseld - bad service attribute: socket-type!
[13:56] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: and there is traffic from C arriving at A, so they can see eachother
[13:56] <sddhrthrt> thanks!
[13:57] <mi3> sddhrthrt, actually, lets say I want to recover the data from that folder, what will be your suggestion?
[13:57] <pungi_man> can anyone give me a good site for java tutorials, please
[13:57] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: have you tried to connect all of them with a switch without using VLAN. Depending on your switch the VLAN setup can create such a behaviour
[13:58] <krod2389> pungi_man: Java has wonderful official documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/reallybigindex.html
[13:58] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: I have around 1000 servers running in this setup... so I think it will be a problem on that specific host...
[13:59] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: That sound valid :). Has C a Vlan setup that could cause the problem?
[13:59] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: don't think so... I am starting to think arp problems...
[14:00] <tafelpoot> arp cace doesnt have an entry for A on C and vice versa

[14:00] <schnuffle> tafelpoot:  How do you use VLAN? Does you setup VLAN in your switch so that you have serverall virtual switches and no VLAN setup at your boxes?
[14:00] <sddhrthrt> mi3: did you even read this? to last? :P https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto

[14:02] <Bigpiggy01Mining> anybody got a quick and dirty fix for booting up 12.04 with ATI 6950 raedons onboard? Tried both propriatary and opensource drivers and the damn thing keeps going balck screen on bootup and I can't access the blasted console
[14:02] <tafelpoot> A -> B is over vlan2, B -> C is over vlan2 and A -> C should be over vlan2
[14:03] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: One idea, has your switch a maintenance mode where you can mirror one port to antoher? n that way you could check if the icmp package at least shows up

[14:04] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: and how is the network config on C? Can you paste it?
[14:04] <Bigpiggy01Mining> Thanks ubottu
[14:04] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: I'm off for some minutes
[14:04] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: but it arrives on A (when sent from C) but on A I don't see it leave (I dumped traffic with source and dest C)
[14:05] <mi3> Bigpiggy01Mining, ubottu is a bot on ubuntu channel, no matter how much compliments you are gonna give it, it stays that way
[14:05] <tafelpoot> when ping from B to A, I see the ping requests arrive and the responses leave

[14:11] <troulouliou_dev> bobweaver, what is your desktop manager and ubuntu version ?
[14:11] <krod2389> bobweaver: Yes
[14:12] <bobweaver> Unity
[14:12] <troulouliou_dev> bobweaver, did you try with gnome classic or gnole 3 ?
[14:12] <bobweaver> ehh that is not the issue
[14:12] <bobweaver> no band-aids
[14:12] <krod2389> bobweaver: Look in /var/log/secure
[14:12] <asteve> if i don't specify an output file where will a cron log its STDOUT?
[14:13] <llutz> asteve: it sends per mail
[14:13] <bobweaver> this is a Ubuntu certified computer
[14:13] <bobweaver> krod2389,  Thanks I am doing just that
[14:13] <asteve> llutz: who does it mail? the cron is run under userB; userB has no mail right now but the job ran last night
[14:14] <llutz> asteve: then it sent into nirvana. don't you have local mail-delivery?

[14:18] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: good luck
[14:18] <ZarroBoogs> asteve: You might be able to discern some sort of exit status from the cron job via /var/log/syslog
[14:19] <mkultra_> sound net + other physical things have many layers of problems to them
[14:19] <asteve> ZarroBoogs: I checked there first, no luck
[14:19] <schnuffle> Amoug: because by default there're no services that use it
[14:19] <krod2389> Archwyle: Have you tried using "Restricted Drivers" manager in Ubuntu to install the proprietary NVidia drivers?
[14:19] <ZarroBoogs> Archwyle: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 until its release.
[14:19] <asteve> I normally redirect all of my cron jobs to their own respective log files but my boss set one up and asked me if I can find the output :)
[14:19] <mkultra_> i have wifi on my 10.10 usb boot drive, and lose it on my 12.04 / 11.10
[14:19] <krod2389> ZarroBoogs: No-one responds in #ubuntu+1 so pointless asking there
[14:19] <Amoug> schnuffle, and you have services running (web, dns etc...) is it advised to use it ?
[14:20] <mkultra_> i joined up to +1, but yeah 12 is front page
[14:20] <Archwyle> krod2389: they do not show in that panel
[14:20] <Archwyle> ZarroBoogs: ty
[14:20] <_george_> t
[14:20] <schnuffle> Amoug: No if you want the services to perform well, Yes if its just occaisonal use like for FTP
[14:20] <krod2389> krod2389: You'll need to download the drivers from the NVidia site then. Not as easy as with Windows though
[14:21] <bobweaver> Archwyle, could you open you terminal and enter ::   lspci -nn | grep VGA   and paste here
[14:21] <mkultra_> gksu jockey-gtk?
[14:21] <schnuffle> Amoug: most daemons come with a init.d or upstart config
[14:22] <Amoug> schnuffle, so I better stick to using init.d scripts + tcp wrappers for security ?
[14:22] <sacarlson> mkultra_: did you make sure to install linux-firmware ?
[14:23] <Archwyle> krod2389: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a001] (rev 02)

[14:23] <bobweaver> Archwyle,  lets do this on +1

[14:24] <qwerty123> hey guys, I'm currently dual booting my computer with Windows 7 (mainly) and ubuntu (about 20gb). Is there any way i can delete the Ubuntu partition, and add that extra 20gb to one of my Windows 7 partitions, without losing anything on Windows 7?
[14:24] <_zoom_> hi, I need to setup a vpn using pppoe

[14:24] <mcb_> Out of the blue, my desktop stoped to consult DNS servers. I am unable to resolve names. Using Ubuntu 10.10. I did a tcpdump and when i try to ping <name> i dont even see a request to the DNS server, and the ping command reports an erro the could not find the host...... Anyone have any clues? I use DHCP, all interface configurations are OK, It started today qhen i started the machine.
[14:25] <troulouliou_dev> qwerty123, delete ubuntu partition with gparted , rebuild mbr with win 7 disc and increase with gparted again
[14:25] <krod2389> qwerty123: Yes
[14:26] <qwerty123> is gparted a downloadable exe file, or an iso?
[14:26] <FrozenMind> qwerty123: You can use Partition Magic on a Windows computer, or Gparted which comes on some distros of Ubuntu, or if you do not have it on the current LIVE CD you can make one through Ubuntu or by using another Live Distro like Deft (if I remember Correctly...).
[14:26] <sacarlson> mcb_: try manualy change the dns server in network-manager gui to point to google dns server address 8.8.8.8
[14:27] <sacarlson> !gparted
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> qwerty123: its on the install CD
[14:27] <krod2389> sacarlson: I wouldn't use the Google DNS server, you become part of their botnet
[14:27] <mcb_> sacarlson:  Did that, as I said, my machine dont even make a DNS request.... I can t imagine why it sopped.
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> krod2389: got a link to back that up?
[14:28] <qwerty123> and once installed, is it a user firendly layout? or does it require some knowledge?
[14:28] <sacarlson> krod2389: you can use it to test,  you can later change it to bind9 or opendns as you wish
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> qwerty123: its fairly self explanatory
[14:28] <krod2389> ActionParsnip: Just use wireshark and monitor your traffic.
[14:28] <qwerty123> cool, thank you guys
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> krod2389: might just do that :)
[14:29] <sacarlson> krod2389: I use google because it's the only one I can keep in my small brain
[14:29] <FrozenMind> qwerty123: or you can use the disk resize feature if you have an NTFS PArtition for your windows 7 computer by going to Start > Right Click "Computer" > Manage > Disk Managment > and then right click your disk partition and resize it.using "Extend Volume"
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> krod2389: mind you, I use chromium so it may have that in it too
[14:29] <krod2389> ActionParsnip: I'd recommend against using Chromium. Better to use an open source browser like Firefox
[14:30] <ZarroBoogs> krod2389: Please don't spread FUD here, Chromium is open source.
[14:30] <FrozenMind> krod2389: Chromium isnt open source? I thought it was Google Chrome that wasnt open source?
[14:30] <tkruise> Aren't both of them?
[14:31] <qwerty123> FrozenMind, that is how i partitioned it in the first place, can i go into a PM with you by any chance?
[14:31] <krod2389> ZarroBoogs: Not really, it's a watered down version of a proprietary product for which you receive *some* of the source code
[14:32] <FrozenMind> qwerty123: sure pm away :)
[14:32] <sacarlson> !chromium
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> krod2389: firefox chews my RAM like mad
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> krod2389: chromium is opensource too, chrom isn't. There is a difference
[14:32] <agoodm> #ubuntu+1
[14:33] <mkultra_> chrome is chromium isnt it?
[14:33] <christina> hey friends i need simple help with rar and zip please help
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: chromium is the open source version. The bugs reported in chromium go to help chrome. Google then add some proprietary blobs and call it chrome
[14:34] <FrozenMind> Chrome =/= Chromium... Google bought rights to use Chromium as the main base for their browser and then added features, please correct if wrong o.O
[14:34] <krod2389> ActionParsnip: Don't forget about the tracking code ;)
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> christina: install unp rar and unrar   and you are golden
[14:34] <imachine> golden like virginia?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> krod2389: that too, but its not in chromium :)
[14:34] <christina> I need help with its password just a simple query i have hope you wont mind answering it
[14:34] <imachine> gold is cool
[14:34] <imachine> if I was a girl, I'd be a golddigger
[14:35] <krod2389> christina: A password when trying to install software? Or trying to open a rar file?
[14:35] <ZarroBoogs> imachine: This channel is for Ubuntu support, not whatever you're talking about. Lets try to stay on-topic.
[14:35] <imachine> ZarroBoogs, hey, rightey-o
[14:35] <christina> this is the password without quotes "ZXCVBNMASDFGHJKLQWERTYUIOP1234567890!@#$%^&*()zxcvbnmasdfghjklqwertyuiop" how long it will take to find it for winrar through any means ?
[14:35]  * imachine zips up
[14:36] <imachine> my mouth, that is
[14:36] <jeregon> hello can any one tell me the command to copy somthing from your server to your computer
[14:36] <yoshimi-pink> this may be off subject but i dont know where to start, where can i ask about adding a magnet link to the pirate bay
[14:36] <imachine> jeregon, like, lftp can ftp it down
[14:36] <imachine> jeregon, or sftp, but lftp can use sftp
[14:36] <shaunatowell> jergeron: depends what you have the server running
[14:36] <krod2389> christina: I don't understand your question
[14:36] <imachine> jeregon, depends really what services offering the file are ran on the server side
[14:36] <ZarroBoogs> christina: Thats really not within the scope of this channel.  ##security might be able to point you in the right direction though.
[14:36] <jeregon> imachine: can you explain?
[14:36] <christina> thanks
[14:36] <indigo> does anyone know how to make caps-lock behave like ctrl *without* using gnome? XkbOptions ctrl:nocaps in xorg.conf doesn't seem to work anymore.
[14:37] <jeregon> imachine: ssh
[14:37] <imachine> jeregon, the server has to provide a file in some way; either via ftp, ssh or www
[14:37] <shaunatowell> jergeron does you swerver have samba or ssh running?
[14:37] <imachine> jeregon, so use sftp, it's a subset of ssh, allowing file transfer via secure tunnel.
[14:37] <shaunatowell> jergeron if you have ssh i think you can use scp
[14:37] <jeregon> shaunatowell: ssh
[14:37] <krod2389> indigo: Do you have access to a soldering iron?
[14:37] <imachine> jeregon, lftp is a nice console ftp client which does sftp as well
[14:37] <jeregon> imachine: how
[14:37] <imachine> jeregon, man scp, man sftp, man lftp
[14:37] <shaunatowell> imachine only he he has ftp installed tho
[14:37] <jeregon> imachine: ok
[14:38] <shaunatowell> scp would be better jeregon
[14:38] <imachine> jeregon, in general, lftp [enter], open sftp://username:pass@server
[14:38] <Dogerster_> Hello. How do I activate sim 3g usb stick through the terminal?
[14:38] <imachine> jeregon, and 'ls' etc. just common shell sense really.
[14:38] <indigo> krod2389: to burn holes in the faces of people that want to force everyone to use gnome? yes...
[14:38] <jeregon> shaunatowell: explain
[14:38] <shaunatowell> jeregon: explain what?
[14:38] <shaunatowell> scp?
[14:38] <shaunatowell> lol
[14:38] <kaizokuj> Hi, can anyone help me with an ecryptfs related problem ?
[14:38] <jeregon> yes pls
[14:39] <jeregon> scp stands for what?
[14:39] <imachine> jeregon, I pretty much gave you the answer
[14:39] <shaunatowell> jeregon what does your computer run (the one you are copying the file to
[14:39] <jeregon> ok
[14:39] <imachine> secure copy is what scp stands for
[14:39] <krod2389> Is anyone else able to play TF2 on Ubuntu at the moment? Wine stable is failing to launch it
[14:39] <jeregon> windows
[14:39] <imachine> jeregon, then use filezilla
[14:39] <shaunatowell> ok jergeron go to http://winscp.net
[14:39] <imachine> jeregon, it supports sftp/scp
[14:39] <jeregon> ohh ok\
[14:39] <shaunatowell> or filezilla
[14:39] <imachine> or winscp
[14:39] <imachine> ;)
[14:39] <kaizokuj> I'm having trouble with ecryptfs, can anyone help me ?
[14:40] <shaunatowell> but make sure you select scp (since i assume based on your question, youve never set up an FTP server)
[14:40] <imachine> shaunatowell, he has ssh
[14:40] <shaunatowell> but since ssh is working you can use SCP
[14:40] <imachine> shaunatowell, if he hasn't turned off the sftp subsystem, he's good to go
[14:40] <krod2389> kaizokuj: Just try asking your question
[14:40] <shaunatowell> imachine: i thought u needed an ftp server to connect with sftp?
[14:41] <imachine> shaunatowell, no, you do not.
[14:41] <shaunatowell> oh
[14:41] <shaunatowell> shows what i know
[14:41] <shaunatowell> lol
[14:41] <imachine> shaunatowell, sftp is pretty much a subsys of ssh
[14:41] <shaunatowell> i see
[14:41] <shaunatowell> i've always used scp
[14:41] <shaunatowell> my fault
[14:41] <FloodBot1> shaunatowell: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:41] <imachine> I think, but I may be wrong here, that you can use sftp almost always, but scp always
[14:41] <kaizokuj> well, I setup a new server running oneiric yesterday I think, and today I had to restart due to a problem here at home and now it wont mount the encrypted stuff, which I thought it should have done automagically.
[14:41] <imachine> because of the subsystem need server side
[14:42] <imachine> if you turn off sftp server side, scp might work; I *think*
[14:42] <imachine> that's just me thinking though, not 100% sure
[14:42] <kaizokuj> When I try to manually do it using ecryptfs-mount-private it asks for a passphrase but keeps telling me its wrong no matter what I do
[14:42] <mneptok> kaizokuj: filesystems encrypted with LVM and dm-crypt only auto-decrypt if the password type is a random seed. usually only used for swap space.
[14:43] <jeregon> ok im installing
[14:43] <jeregon> filezilla
[14:43] <Dogerster_> Hello. can someone help. How do I activate sim 3g usb stick through the terminal?
[14:43] <pungi_man> mi3 : http://imagebin.org/206434
[14:43] <kaizokuj> Alright, and any idea how I can get into the encryted stuff ?
[14:43] <mneptok> kaizokuj: encrypted how?
[14:44] <mneptok> kaizokuj: you mentioned ecryptfs. which is entirely different from dm-crypt/LVM
[14:44] <kaizokuj> Yeah, that's what encrypted it
[14:44] <mneptok> kaizokuj: so users home directories or what?
[14:44] <jeregon> imachine: so im sorry but i am new to this how is it that i copy something?
[14:45] <jeregon> imachine: the command
[14:45] <kaizokuj> it was standard set when I ran through the installation of the server
[14:45] <krod2389> kaizokuj: Spandex: it's a privilege, not a right.
[14:45] <kaizokuj> yeah it's the users desktop
[14:45] <bazhang> krod2389, what?
[14:45] <mobile> krod2389: hackers
[14:45] <mneptok> krod2389: do you have any meaningful input for the channel?
[14:46] <kaizokuj> hehe, while I get the quote I fail to see the point ^^
[14:46] <krod2389> mneptok: That speaks for itself
[14:46] <mneptok> kaizokuj: i'm not a user of ecryptfs, so i can't be much help.
[14:46] <FrozenMind> krod2389: aliens did it, i swear... :p
[14:47] <bazhang> krod2389, stop the nonsense
[14:47] <jeregon> imachine: hello
[14:47] <mobile> its hard to use this on iphone
[14:48] <kaizokuj> darn, anyone who can help ?
[14:48] <mneptok> kaizokuj: the password whould be the user's account password
[14:49] <kaizokuj> First thing I tried as I only use a password per system
[14:49] <kaizokuj> Says it's wrong
[14:50] <jeregon> cool
[14:50] <jeregon> i got it
[14:51] <jeregon> exit
[14:57] <g[r]eek> Hey guys. How do I manually download a .deb file (in this case the package I am trying to install on an offline server is php5-gd) thanks.
[14:57] <Pseudoephedrine> Hi, i am trying to use 'rvm use 1.9.3 --default' but each time i do i get a print out saying RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: sudo apt-get -d install php5-gd
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: or use packages.ubuntu.com    you will need to manually satisfy deps if you use this method too
[15:00] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, it downloaded, but i have no clue which directory it stuck it in, any idea/
[15:01] <sddhrthrt> g[r]eek: how did you download it? using what?
[15:01] <g[r]eek> apt-get install -d
[15:01] <sddhrthrt> ah. then its in /var/apt/cache, if i'm not wrong.
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: /var/apt/cache/archives
[15:02] <sddhrthrt> ActionParsnip: yes :) sorry
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> sddhrthrt: :)
[15:03] <g[r]eek> ok great found it
[15:03] <g[r]eek> can I just execute it from command line now?
[15:03] <g[r]eek> how do I install it?
[15:03] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, sddhrthrt
[15:03] <corstar> @worrow. open synaptic, select all the things you wnat to install. and on the "File" menu, there is an option to create a bash script that will get all the packages including dependencies for you
[15:03] <Pseudoephedrine> Ok, so im trying to do this echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile but that doesnt seem to be helping either.. even after a restart of the terminal
[15:03] <Pseudoephedrine> any ideas?
[15:03] <___jamesd___> hey, i'm getting really confused with permissions on my personal server.

[15:05] <sddhrthrt> sddhrthrt: you can do two things - well, the easiest is to copy it to the target machine change to that directory, do dpkg -i package-name.deb
[15:05] <sddhrthrt> g[r]eek: you can do two things - well, the easiest is to copy it to the target machine change to that directory, do dpkg -i package-name.deb
[15:05] <g[r]eek> ok thanks
[15:05] <K1rk|Work> Alright... this might be a simple question but I can't seem to put it into words that Google wants to find me results for.
[15:06] <shaunatowell> bleh irssi seems to screw up from time to time
[15:06] <shaunatowell> bah humbug
[15:06] <K1rk|Work> In Ubuntu with Gnome when I do a custom command for "Open With".  How do I pass the filename as a variable to the program I'm opening?  /bin/application $FILENAME
[15:06] <___jamesd___> blackthor: i have been using chmod to set the permissions, was this wrong then?
[15:06] <Pseudoephedrine> How can i use this command 'rvm use 1.9.3 --default' without it spitting out the error i have said above?
[15:06] <___jamesd___> blackthor: oh its the same thing
[15:07] <blackthor> ___jamesd___:  yes it is using chmod, only it has more numbers (4 instead of 3)  e.g.  1777  or 0777
[15:07] <g[r]eek> sddhrthrt, ok it's working thanks for the help
[15:07] <Pseudoephedrine> alright, thanks fuck tards!
[15:08] <sddhrthrt> no problem
[15:08] <llutz> ___jamesd___: you need to apply posix acl to inherit permissions of a dir, linux/unix-permission can't do that
[15:08] <Sheperson> I am trying to mount an ext4 filesystem with write permission, but it is mount readonly
[15:09] <___jamesd___> llutz: is it not possible to allow eveyone in my group "smbusers" to be able to freely edit a folder and its child folders?
[15:09] <llutz> Sheperson: you need to chown/chmod it to your needs
[15:09] <Sheperson> llutz, the mounted file  system?
[15:09] <schnuffle> Sheperson:  use the option -o remount,rw
[15:09] <llutz> ___jamesd___: they can edit/create folders but those won't inherit permissions
[15:10] <llutz> Sheperson: yes
[15:10] <___jamesd___> llutz: the issue i am having is that users cant edit a folder that i have made (for instance) is this expected behaoir
[15:10] <llutz> ___jamesd___: only thing linux-permissions can do, is setting "sgid" to the parent dir, so all created files will inherit group-ownership
[15:11] <Sheperson> llutz, "sudo chown -R <me>:<me> ." did it
[15:11] <Sheperson> thanks
[15:11] <llutz> Sheperson: thats how unix-fs work
[15:11] <jesuschristumber> Is it possible to map a symbol to a keyboard combination on Maverick?
[15:12] <Gethro> join #hive76
[15:12] <Gethro> Sorry...
[15:12] <llutz> ___jamesd___: thats done with "sudo chmod g+s /parentdir", maybe it helps
[15:13] <Header> I'm looking for a kind of reverse-ssh solution. I want to ssh to a computer behind a firewall. I know vnc has some listening alternatives but what about ssh?
[15:13] <tafelpoot> schnuffle: hi, still there?
[15:13] <schnuffle> tafelpoot: yes

[15:16] <Atauz> ei
[15:19] <blackthor> so, hmmm i'll repeat my question, since nobody responded
[15:19] <blackthor> is there any way to map detected iscsi devices to a fixed devicename ?   i have a NAS which i use openiscsi to connect with (it has 2 volumes). everything fine, except every month or 2 the 2 volumes (/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1)  get swapped.   any ideas? thanks
[15:20] <zykotick9> blackthor: is there a way to use UUIDs or Labels instead of device names?
[15:20] <llutz> blackthor: can't you use UUIDs?
[15:20] <llutz> too slow :(
[15:20] <zykotick9> blackthor: device names cannot be relied on (as you have experienced) they change
[15:25] <Atauz> hi
[15:25] <zykotick9> Atauz: hello.  Do you have a question?  If so, ask away.
[15:26] <qwerty123> It Worked, thanks for all those who helped me :D
[15:26] <Atauz> ok, thanks!!
[15:26] <schnuffle> zykotick9:  there's a factoid for it: !anyone
[15:26] <ThomasBoxley> Hello, I am running the latest beta of Ubuntu Precise. My desktop language seems to have changed to Chinese, and going in the Language Support settings and clicking English doesn't seem to do anything :|
[15:27] <zykotick9> schnuffle: thanks.  (you'd have to get up pretty early to find a factoid i'm not aware of ;)
[15:27] <qwerty123> ThomasBoxley , the easiest way is to learn Chinese
[15:27] <krod2389> ThomasBoxley: Try joining #ubuntu+1
[15:27] <krod2389> ThomasBoxley: That's for support of unreleased versions
[15:27] <schnuffle> zykotick9: it was the first I learned
[15:28] <krod2389> ThomasBoxley: You could also try looking in Launchpad or reporting the problem if you think it's a bug
[15:28] <dekatch> hi, when installing ubuntu 12.x beta! can i easely get the final release with upgrade command?
[15:28] <jtrucks> so I have a fresh 10.04 LTS install, and apt-cache search iperf comes up with no results, but on http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=iperf&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all finds the package.
[15:28] <jtrucks> what am I doing wrong?
[15:28] <zykotick9> !final | dekatch
[15:29] <schnuffle> jtrucks: have you universe and multiverse activated?
[15:29] <Atauz> why my laptop is heated to shut down?
[15:29] <jtrucks> just the default. do youhave a link handy to point me on the right path?
[15:29] <bazhang> !info iperf lucid | jtrucks
[15:30] <dekatch> zykotick9 i meant something different! i want to install the 12.04 beta2! i just want to know if i can upgrade later with this beta?
[15:30] <schnuffle> jtrucks: the link you provided told you that its in universe
[15:30] <schnuffle> jtrucks: so you have to activate at least universe to be able to install it
[15:30] <jtrucks> schnuffle: right. which isn't in the default sources.list...
[15:30] <bazhang> jtrucks, open up synaptic package manager and check that the main universe and other repos in the first tab are all checked
[15:30] <schnuffle> jtrucks: I think in software center you can enable it
[15:30] <zykotick9> dekatch: ? same answer?
[15:31] <jtrucks> bazhang: is that a GUI tool?
[15:31] <schnuffle> jtrucks: yes
[15:31] <dekatch> or in other words :D can i upgrade the 12.04 beta2 to the final release later?
[15:31] <dekatch> zykotick9 yes or no pls :D
[15:31] <bazhang> jtrucks, are you on server?
[15:31] <bazhang> dekatch, he already told you
[15:31] <jtrucks> oh, well, I'm not running X. it's a headless server install.. but it looks like I figured it out.
[15:32] <bazhang> in /etc/apt/sources.list  uncomment the proper one , being universe jtrucks
[15:32] <dekatch> bazhang this answere is not the one i need! 12.04 IS already out
[15:32] <schnuffle> jtrucks: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/sources.list
[15:32] <dekatch> so the answere makes no sense
[15:32] <bazhang> !final | dekatch read carefully
[15:32] <jtrucks> bazhang: it isn't in the sources.list at all.
[15:33] <bazhang> dekatch, read that and stop repeating. #ubuntu+1 for more discussion
[15:33] <dekatch> ok, does "development version" mean beta version in other words?
[15:33] <schnuffle> jtrucks: have you seen my link, at the bottom you got all you need
[15:33] <bazhang> dekatch, ----> #ubuntu+1
[15:34] <jtrucks> yeah, I found https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/configuration.html which shows me what to do, as well (using s/natty/lucid/) right?
[15:34] <dekatch> god damn dont try to be that smart! its a "development version" a "beta version"?
[15:34] <Phrogz> Is there a simpler, more elegant way to find the PID of a process using a port than:   lsof -i :8080 | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'
[15:34] <jtrucks> dekatch: yes.
[15:34] <dekatch> thats another question dude
[15:34] <dekatch> ok thx
[15:35] <TSlackM>  /join ubuntu+1
[15:35] <dekatch> wow the fukk! now i am pissed! ill gtfo here thx bazhang for your advice and patience !
[15:36] <jhutchins_wk> Is there a games repository?
[15:36] <chiiiiiz> hello!!!
[15:37] <sddhrthrt> ping bazhang !
[15:37] <chiiiiiz> only a simple question: can any netbook now be installed with Ubuntu? Can I buy any second hand netbook and install Linux instead of Android or any other OS?
[15:37] <zykotick9> jhutchins_wk: there is the 3rd party playdeb.net
[15:38] <Phrogz> (Answering my own question: yes, use -t on lsof to print only the PID.)
[15:38] <xangua> chiiiiiz: why woukd a netbook hava android installed¿
[15:38] <jhutchins_wk> zy thx
[15:39] <jtrucks> schnuffle and bazhang thanks for the help!
[15:39] <xangua> chiiiiiz: or are you refering to a tablet¿
[15:39] <markss> I havent been able to find anything that says what Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid will be doing for Thunderbird once Thunderbird 3.1 is End-Of-Life'd on 2012-04-24. Presumably upgrading to Thunderbird 11, but I would have expected that to have happened already, or at least be talked about like the Firefox 10 transition was. Anyone know if Lucid's Thunderbird will just be left at 3.1 or if there is an upgrade plan to Thunderbird 11? (Note this is for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid).
[15:39] <markss>  Thanks.
[15:39] <rogst> chiiiiiz: depends on itf it has a inlocked bootloader, and you need a image of ubuntu that supports the cpu architecure
[15:39] <FrozenMind> chiiiiiz: Aye, you should be able to, I suggest Ubuntu Remix if it is still out there :) I use it for mine and liked it (and then removed it for fun >.>)
[15:39] <rogst> unlocked*
[15:39] <xangua> markss: you can add the thunderbird PPA if you like, on your own risk of course ;)
[15:39] <remoteCTRL> what does nowaday the job that hotplug and usbmgr used to do? those do not seem to be present anymore...?
[15:40] <chiiiiiz> xangua: okmaybe netbook is a bad name...
[15:40] <FrozenMind> xangua: Android is fun on a netbook :D you can put the android market, or use Honeycomb or ICS on it and gt the market on it and have fun :)
[15:40] <chiiiiiz> xangua: no tablet, I mean a very little computer with a keyboard and a 10" wide screen, not a touchscreen
[15:40] <chiiiiiz> I am looking for one to use as a ebook reader
[15:42] <chiiiiiz> FrozenMind: UbuntuRemix is now Unity... and I want something more open than a Google creation
[15:42] <markss> xangua: Yeah, I'm not particularly fond of using the PPA.
[15:42] <schnuffle> remoteCTRL: udev
[15:42] <schnuffle> remoteCTRL: and usbmount
[15:42] <kingkatari> I need help
[15:43] <remoteCTRL> schnuffle: geez these LPIC questions time and again seem hopelessly deprecated...
[15:43] <schnuffle> chiiiiiz:  DSL, Puppy or Lubuntu?
[15:43] <remoteCTRL> !ask kingkatari
[15:43] <FrozenMind> chiiiiiz: actually, Android, the original form, is pure with Sudo Ability :)
[15:43] <remoteCTRL>  !ask | kingkatari
[15:44] <chiiiiiz> FrozenMind: Sudo Ability????
[15:44] <kingkatari> I tried to open ports on my system and it is not letting me bind the ports to a certain Nic what is the line to open ports but only on eth0
[15:45] <FrozenMind> chiiiiiz: Sudo = Admin, Full Control :) full access
[15:45] <kingkatari> I am on ubuntu desktop 11.10
[15:45] <markss> Cookie2: I was scrolling up and saw a question you had about your password and encrypted home. I'm not very familiar with that setup, but just to throw out some ideas:  Since you aren't sure how your password changed, it might be that your keyboard is starting to have hardware failures for some keys. Try verifying that each key in your password does actually output to screen. Verify that the shift key works if you press shift while entering your password.  N
[15:45] <markss> ote that your system password and your encrypted home password are probably stored differently. So probably can't just change your system password and expect it to recover your home, BUT it may also mean that if your system password is now unexpectedly different, your encrypted home password may still be the same. You will need to do some googling to see what people say about this problem. I'm sure you have been. Sorry I can't tell you much more than that. H
[15:45] <markss> ope you can get your data back !
[15:46] <remoteCTRL> kingkatari: with what are you trying to accomplish you goal? i can recommend firestarter as a nice frontend to iptables
[15:46] <remoteCTRL> kingkatari: well "frontend" as it actually uses its own chains but they are iptables based
[15:47] <kingkatari> i want to be able to open select ports on eth0
[15:47] <kingkatari> since i will be running servers
[15:47] <remoteCTRL> kingkatari: i understood that, did you understand what i asked you?
[15:48] <kingkatari> I want thoes ports accessible only on connections that come in via ETH0
[15:48] <kingkatari> if thats not what you ment then no
[15:49] <remoteCTRL> kingkatari: you keep repeating what we already understood, HOW ARE YOU TRYING TO DO IT?
[15:49] <rogst> kingkatari: you can configure iptables to only allow the port on eth0
[15:49] <llutz> kingkatari: most services have config-options as "listen, address, iface" where you can configure where it should listen at
[15:51] <kingkatari> well when i ran netstat listen it showed that it was listening on them ports but it also showed 0.0.0.0
[15:51] <ActionPa1snip> kingkatari: you'll need to configure ufw or iptables
[15:51] <llutz> kingkatari: what service?
[15:51] <kingkatari> SSH
[15:52] <llutz> kingkatari: man sshd_cionfig|less -p ListenAddress
[15:52] <llutz> kingkatari: man sshd_config|less -p ListenAddress
[15:54] <kingkatari> that is talking about local address
[15:54] <mmonat> email address
[15:54] <mmonat> sorry...i am in under my personal email adress
[15:54] <mmonat> thx
[15:55] <ActionPa1snip> kingkatari: use iptables or ufw to block port 22 traffic on all interfaces except eth0
[15:55] <llutz> kingkatari: thats the option you use to let sshd  listen at a specific address and not at all (default)
[15:56] <remoteCTRL> llutz: it is the Pr0 solution, dude, yet i feel you are confusing the guy... :)
[15:56] <llutz> remoteCTRL: i just prefer to take the money out of the room instead just to close the door
[15:57] <remoteCTRL> llutz: interesting thought!
[15:57] <llutz> sry for still poor english
[15:58] <ferris-> hey.... I need to convert a jar file to an apk... would appreciate any help
[15:58] <remoteCTRL> llutz: no worries dude, i understood you just fine! :)
[15:58] <remoteCTRL> llutz: ActionPa1snip: does any of you happen to be ubuntu oder lpi certified?
[15:59] <llutz> remoteCTRL: nope
[16:00] <kingkatari> i need ok whats the command to start SSH?
[16:00] <ActionPa1snip> remoteCTRL: working on it, reading the book etc
[16:00] <kingkatari> ssh-server
[16:00] <llutz> kingkatari: sudo service ssh start
[16:00] <remoteCTRL> kingkatari: sudo start ssh
[16:00] <ActionPa1snip> remoteCTRL: thought I may as well :)
[16:00] <remoteCTRL> err... what llutz said
[16:00] <curiousx> kingkatari: sudo service ssh start
[16:01] <kingkatari> ok strange it said it is already running but i cant connect
[16:01] <shaunatowell> quick question... why in the wolrd did the dhcp3-server package change?
[16:01] <remoteCTRL> ActionPa1snip: yeah i am in the middle of it, i got the brandnew book by harald maaßen just a few days ago, in the preamble he states updated to the status as od 01. of april 2012, yet still DEPRECATIONN!!! OMG!
[16:01] <shaunatowell> now it's isc-dhcp-server
[16:01] <shaunatowell> and the config files are no longer located in the same places as before
[16:01] <shaunatowell> lame
[16:02] <mmonat_> ok i have a launchpad account, password but since i set it up on my comcast email i dont have permission to view anything. seems i really need the canonical email. so just let me know when it is set up. thanks!
[16:02] <kingkatari> Ok nevermind i got it
[16:02] <shaunatowell> kigkatari are you on the LAN?
[16:02] <shaunatowell> oh nvm
[16:02] <ActionPa1snip> remoteCTRL: just gonna read it then grab the exam tbh, most of it I already know through use
[16:03] <bazhang> !ot
[16:03] <llutz> remoteCTRL: i don't have to earn money with this and i don't need any certs on paper to decorate my wall
[16:03] <bazhang> lets get back to ubuntu support please
[16:03] <remoteCTRL> ActionPa1snip: agree on that, yet still some chapters, like the one about hotplug and usbmgr are totally NEW to me. due to their DEPRECATION! :d
[16:03] <llutz> bazhang: sure sry
[16:03] <kingkatari> how many people are familar with bitcoin mining?
[16:04] <bazhang> kingkatari, try #bitcoin
[16:04] <kingkatari> I know that i was just wondering
[16:04] <bazhang> kingkatari, its offtopic here
[16:04] <kingkatari> ok
[16:04] <ActionPa1snip> kingkatari: I know of it, for the electricity etc it's not worth it

[16:15] <ghoti> I have an install question...
[16:15] <ghoti> I'd like to install Ubuntu from USB.  I've downloaded the ISO, but I don't seem to have a way to build a .img file from it. The instructions for creating it all seem to require a GUI.  Is there a way to convert the .iso to a .img from the command line?
[16:16] <llutz> ghoti: just write the iso to usb, "sudo cat foo.iso >/dev/sdX"
[16:16] <llutz> ghoti: works with actual versions since 11.10
[16:16] <ActionPa1snip> ghoti: use unetbootin, be sure to MD5 test the ISO
[16:17] <zykotick9> llutz: i hardly ever see anyone taking advantage of 11.10 hybrid iso :)
[16:18] <ghoti> llutz: cat seems dangerous; will `dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/yadda` work?
[16:18] <llutz> zykotick9: i guess most people just don't know about it
[16:18] <zykotick9> ghoti: cat is what is recommended
[16:18] <llutz> ghoti: that s the same, as "dangeros" as cat
[16:18] <ghoti> alrighty, I'll give it a shot.  thanks!
[16:19] <s2f|ZetraX> Hey, Some one ho knows a good Irc channel for battlefield 3 pcw?
[16:19] <iceroot> s2f|ZetraX: quakenet, offtopic here
[16:19] <FrozenMind> cat = a different form of DD... DD you can actually obliterate your hdd, cat just spews it to the screen or file lol (unless you did > /dev/sd(ect) )
[16:19] <FrozenMind> that was to ghoti
[16:20] <s2f|ZetraX> thx iceroot, was some years ago i was using irc so i forgotten everything :P
[16:20] <ActionPa1snip> s2f|ZetraX: try ##windows
[16:22] <zykotick9> FrozenMind: with redirection (ie ">" in most cases) you can also use cat to create ISO images, as well as create USB boot devices
[16:22] <zykotick9> FrozenMind: and cat is just as dangerous as dd
[16:23] <ghoti> FrozenMind: another difference is that dd forces reads and writes to be of a particular block size.  Also, cat actually uses the shell to write, rather than doing it itself, so it needs extra care when you run it using `sudo`.
[16:23] <Geralt> Are there any alternatives to xbmc? Preferable some where I can set a prefered language track for audio and subtitles
[16:23] <jpsullia> im getting below mentioned error at startup pls help me "The NetworkManager Applet could not find some required resources (the glade file was not found)."

[16:24] <zykotick9> ghoti: +1 on mythtv
[16:24] <jpsullia> ?
[16:25] <jpsullia> ?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> Geralt: if you have a smartphone, you can enable vlc remote access and use the web UI to tell it what to play and you can control it from the phone
[16:25] <EvilResistance> !patience | jpsullia
[16:25] <llutz> ghoti: i forgot, you have to "sudo -i "then "cat foo.iso >/dev/sdX"   or use tee. my bad
[16:25] <Geralt> ActionParsnip: nice idea, but I have a nice remote for my computer so that's not an issue, just that switching the audio track in xbmc is so cumbersome
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> Geralt: oh well :). You know an extra option anyhoo
[16:26] <squaregoldfish> jpsullia: Can you get on to the network as things stand?
[16:27] <jpsullia> The NetworkManager Applet could not find some required resources (the glade file was not found). error
[16:27] <FrozenMind> zykotick9 & ghoti thank you for the information... I do agree that cat is as dangerous as DD, i just dont have as strong of an understanding in it then :) i use DD more then CAT, thank you ^_^

[16:33] <josten> How do I get rid of the old software and Kernels after an update?  Grub still gives me the option to boot older the older version 3.0.0-12.  I don't need it taking up space.
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> NiBi: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[16:34] <zykotick9> josten: uninstall them, to get a list "dpkg -l | grep linux-image"
[16:35] <NiBi> it answer with "oneiric"
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> NiBi: perfect
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> NiBi: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[16:35] <drdee> Hi folks, I got 4 identical machines, all running 10.10 server edition. 1 one of them randomly crashes very frequently. It's not the memory (I checked that) and it's not the hard drives, I checked that as well. There are no traces in the log files, how can I debug this?
[16:35] <josten> zykotick9: once I have the list, how do I uninstall?
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> josten: what is the output of:  dpkg -l | grep 3.0.0-12
[16:36] <zykotick9> josten: same way you uninstall anything else.  what package manager do you use?
[16:36] <NiBi> ActionParsnip, thank you
[16:36] <orkaa> hi
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> josten: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> NiBi: it said it in your pastebin dude....
[16:37] <orkaa> has anyone ever tried to backport gobject-introspection from precise -> oneiric?
[16:37] <FrozenMind> drdee: crash as in it just turns off for no reason, stalls or hangs and then shut down, or? cause if it turns off, powersupply maybe... stalls and hangs, bad memory (check with memtest if you havent done that already) o.O

[16:37] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: FYI i "think" you can now use "apt-get purge foo"
[16:37] <drdee> FrozenMind: no, it hangs, it is still on but I have to press the reset button to get it back to life
[16:37] <NiBi> ActionParsnip, sorry what is pastebin ?
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: oldschool :)
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> NiBi: the pastebin YOU made
[16:38] <shaunatowell> !pastebin | NiBi
[16:38] <FrozenMind> drdee: did it start when you updated it?
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> NiBi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/911687/
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> NiBi: read the last line...
[16:38] <FrozenMind> drdee: let me rephrase, did this problem start after you updated the computer
[16:38] <drdee> FrozenMind: Not sure what you mean, it boots fine after a crash and I reset it
[16:39] <drdee> FrozenMind: not that I am aware off, the other 3 machines have the same config
[16:39] <drdee> FrozenMind: my suspison is that it is somehow USB related but that's more a hunch than facts
[16:40] <josten> ActionParsnip: paste.ubuntu.com/911697
[16:40] <FrozenMind> drdee: lol sorry, my hands are not being nice to me... and ok... hmm... driver maybe? what makes you think usb?
[16:42] <josten> ActionParsnip: will that also remove the option to boot it in GRUB
[16:42] <ct529>  it is possible to install fring on ubuntu? I do not seem to be able to find appropriate information (that is information that actually works)
[16:43] <drdee> FrozenMind: well a year ago the exact same problem happened to another machine, there I disabled USB on the motherboard and then the problem went away. No the first machine (with USB enabled) does not have the problem but another one has it. but it just sucks to   disable USB  :)
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> josten: so youhave a later kernel than that?
[16:44] <josten> ActionParsnip: I just updated to 3.0.0-17
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> josten: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[16:44] <zykotick9> ct529: get fring on iphone, android or nokia - is there even a windows version?  anyways, good luck.
[16:45] <FrozenMind> drdee: that is interesting... how old are the mobo's? and to tell youthe truth, if it worked before, maybe try it again and if it does, maybe look into a new mobo... out of curiosity, what os are you using? 10? 11?
[16:46] <drdee> FrozenMind: mobo's? i am running 10.10 server
[16:46] <drdee> motherboards?
[16:46] <FrozenMind> drdee: mobo = motherboards :)
[16:46] <drdee> FrozenMind: 18 months
[16:47] <FrozenMind> drdee: ouch o.O ok... hmm... i wonder if the driver on your 10.10 got updated, or maybe there could be a actual problem with the mobo itself and screwing with the os? :s i am not sure where to go with this...
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> maverick is EOL after next month ends, consider upgrading
[16:50] <compdoc> ubuntu does move along quickly that way
[16:51] <FrozenMind> drdee: sorry i can't be more help... :(
[16:52] <auronandace> compdoc: 6 months between releases, and 2 years between lts
[16:52] <Honvai_> Hello. How do I get the panel to view it has been lost during the night
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> Honvai_: do you mean the unity panel?
[16:52] <compdoc> I have several Ubuntu servers that will need upgrading. Lots of work for an old IT guy like me
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> compdoc: just do one then blast the image around :)
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> compdoc: assuming they are fairly similar
[16:53] <compdoc> well, I think theyre all AMD cpus, at least
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> !panel
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> !panelfix
[16:54] <Koheleth> is there a program like ccleaner for Ubuntu?
[16:54] <troulouliou_dev> is there a command on ubuntu to generate an ipv6 ula network prefix   ?
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> Koheleth: bleachbit
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Honvai_: try:    gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[16:55] <tom_toc> after some changes to monitor configuration, I seem to have hosed things up.. when I rebooted, after grub loads, I can not get any dispaly at all.  Rebooting does not fix it, so I need to 'reset' my monitor config.. (using 10.04) Any pointers/suggestions?
[16:55] <drdee> FrozenMind: np, thanks!
[16:55] <Koheleth> ActionParsnip: thanks will check it out
[16:56] <auronandace> ActionParsnip: i think the factoid is !panels
[16:56] <auronandace> !panels
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> auronandace: yeah I just bothered ubottu til she gave what I wanted
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> Koheleth: watch settings and have as many apps CLOSED as you can, avoid settings that say they will take a long time
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> Koheleth: run it as both yourself and root (2 options in the menu)
[16:58] <server_> my new ubuntu 12.04 does not openup timer mkahawa that i used to operate my cafe with
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> server_: #ubuntu+1 please
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> server_: why use pre-release when you clearly need a stable OS.. makes NO sense at all...
[16:59] <Koheleth> ActionParsnip:  just looking, running as root, I just want to shred trash when it empties
[17:00] <tom_toc> I am assuming the first step to fixing my problem is to boot via liveCD... then I copy some config files over.. I've gone through this before a long time ago, but googling has not be rewarded.
[17:00] <josten> How do I get rid of the "others..." account on the startup?  I removed the guest account by editing lightdm.conf and adding allow-guest=false.  Would it be the same?
[17:01] <Elchzard> Anyone aware of the key combination to boot from disk drive on powerpc machines?
[17:01] <Elchzard> Command + Option + something...
[17:01] <luisr> hello everybody i got a question everytime i shut it down i get failed on a couple of things but its too quick for me to see how can i fix the fails
[17:01] <Koheleth> ActionParsnip: actually, I just ran it with the trash bin checked it I still have stuff in there?
[17:02] <pikkachu> I'm having the opposite problem described here, how about you? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/857939

I did a tcpdump and when i try to ping <name> i dont even see a request to the DNS server, and the ping command reports an erro that it could not find the host...... Anyone have any clues? I use DHCP, all interface configurations are OK, It started today when i started the machine. I can dig the DNS servers, but ping wont resolve names. I could not find anything in sysl

[17:09] <tom_toc> Any suggestion on where i can find out how to repair my boot problem (monitor configuration hosed), I just finished creating a liveCD to get me on to the system. (10.04), no graphics after grub load
[17:09] <mcb_> elijah: tail -n <number of lines to show> will show you that last lines of file.
[17:09] <tom_toc> )
[17:09] <Koheleth> anyway to make the unity icons a bit smaller?
[17:09] <elijah> mcb_: You're awesome buddy! Thanks!
[17:11] <Miscni> question: is it possbul, to use ÆØÅ in joe, through SSH ???
[17:13] <Fyodorovna> tom_toc, this a standard ubuntu live disc?

[17:18] <remoteCTRL> never mind, i just found out! :)
[17:20] <chris_> How do you add website shortcuts to the cairo dock?  I have input the code "opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U http://www.youtube.com" in the command box but that doesn't seem to be working
[17:22] <Koheleth> Unity icon size  can be changed in Compizconfig Settings Manager, just search for Unity then go Ubuntu Unity plugin, then experimental tab.  Cool.
[17:23]  * adrien2 is away: Not here

[17:24] <LucidGuy> Question.  I've exported an XFS filesystem with quotas enabled.  I can get quota reports and everything on the local system, but can't seem to get any data from a remote system that has the file system mounted via nfs.  No luck with Quota command .. nor xfs_quota.  Suggestions?
[17:25] <hubsinger> i'm using a 2 screen setup withz a nvidia quadro nvs 290 on lucid. setting a youtube video to full screen means that it's fullscreen on the left screen. so far it's ok. but any click on the second screen switches the fullscreen video back. oes anyone have an idea on how to overcome that ?
[17:26] <tom_toc> Fyodorovna: Yep, LiveCD for 10.04, same as the OS on the drive.
[17:26] <mcb_> My desktop stoped to consult DNS servers. I am unable to resolve names. Using Ubuntu 10.10. I did a tcpdump and when i try to ping <name> i dont even see a request to the DNS server, and the ping command reports an erro that it could not find the host...... Anyone have any clues? I use DHCP, all interface configurations are OK, It started today when i started the machine. I can dig the DNS servers, but ping wont resolve names. I could not find anything in sysl
[17:28] <hubsinger> Miscni: at least german umlauts work that way
[17:28] <ZarroBoogs> mcb_: Do you have any entries in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[17:29] <mcb_> ZarroBoogs: Sure, but no even if try to point to google DNS, the change have no effect.
[17:29] <sysRPL> unit is suck a pice of shite
[17:29] <sysRPL> *unity
[17:29] <ZarroBoogs> sysRPL: Please mind your language here, this is a family friendly channel.
[17:30] <gallo> so is your spelling sysRPL
[17:30] <ZarroBoogs> sysRPL: Also this is a support channel, not somewhere to complain about such things.
[17:30] <sysRPL> sorry, unity is a turd
[17:30] <auronandace> sysRPL: good thing nobody is forcing you to use it
[17:31] <sysRPL> chrome keeps unpinning itslef, twice now it doesn't show in my alt-tab list, no window previews ... my ide menus are screwed up since it uses multiple  floating windows
[17:31] <sysRPL> alt-tab is horrible slow
[17:31] <Miscni> hubsinger, true true, but my problem is, that my danish Ubuntu-server, dont wanna send messages, with æøå, just need to find a workaround for it, but cant seem to find anything on google
[17:32] <mcb_> sysRPL: Use gnome, Kde, xfce, or any other that you do like.
[17:32] <sysRPL> 1/2 the compiz setting no longer work
[17:32] <Fyodorovna> tom_toc, you want to really give some back info on how you got where your at.... such as this is a failed graphic driver install.  Grub and graphic together has a lot of possibilities.
[17:32] <hubsinger> Miscni: sorry but i can't follow ....
[17:34] <tom_toc> Fyodorovna: Not sure, I set up dual monitors, with ATI third party drivers.   Everything worked fine, but some recent change must have messed things up.. Rebooting or logging in via recovery mode does not seem to help.  Just a black screen.  So I want to just fall back to a generic monitor configuration.
[17:34] <Miscni> hubsinger, My problem is, that when I use SSH, to my server, then I cant use ÆØÅ in joe, but if I do it manully, then there is no problem, except, that it still doesn't show in æøå
[17:35] <sysRPL> gnome-do is actually beter than dash-home since gnome do remembers which set of keystrokes match which apps ...
[17:35] <tom_toc> Fyodorovna: LiveCD has no problem with my display.  Nor does windows, so I'm thinking I just need to chance some x conf file.
[17:35] <hubsinger> Miscni: also with nano or something similar ?
[17:36] <kesi> Intermittently, Unity quits to a window with a Plymouth error and I can't pinpoint what I'm doing at the time to cause it. The only common thing is that I always have FF open. Any suggestions? I've run all updates.
[17:36] <Miscni> hubsinger, yeah even with nano also, but the whole installation plus languange, are Danish
[17:36] <server_> what should i do about it if its pre reased?
[17:36] <Fyodorovna> tom_toc, you might get in with nomodeset inserted into the kernel line at the installs grub menu. This is out of my area in general for help though.
[17:36] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset | tom_toc
[17:37] <sysRPL> clicking on gedit which shows an active instance in the unity launcher doesn't do a dang thing
[17:37] <tom_toc> Fyodorovna: sounds like a promising approach!  Thanks for the pointer!
[17:37] <Unknown0BC> Hi, have any of you ever changed a key on the keyboard through keyboard layouts ?
[17:37] <hubsinger> Miscni: and the local machine is also danish ?
[17:37] <Unknown0BC> I seriously need to change a key to act like a shift key.
[17:38] <Miscni> hubsinger, yep
[17:38] <Fyodorovna> tom_toc, hope it works for access.
[17:38] <sysRPL> when i alt tab to my gedit window the unity launcher stays on top and i can't type until i switch to another app then back to gedit gedit
[17:38] <sysRPL> unity is sooo bad
[17:38] <server_> actionparsnip what should i do to get back my mkahawa seen now am already in ubuntu 12.01?
[17:39] <auronandace> server_: 12.04 is not supported here until released (see #ubuntu+1)
[17:39] <Jayrays> is putting something in /etc/init.d/ and using update-rc.d FOO defaults (where FOO is the file name) supposed to execute it at start up?
[17:40] <Waynes> is it common that ubuntu takes a long time to start while not displaying anything after installing lots of stuff?

[17:48] <Miscni> hubsinger, 1 sec , I'll give it a try
[17:48] <auronandace> server_: you have been told several times now, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 issues
[17:49] <LinuxApprentice> how do i change 'zane@ridicously-long-string-here' ?
[17:49] <LinuxApprentice> on the console prompt

[17:52] <LinuxApprentice> dlentz, the hostname.
[17:52] <server_> i type it where?
[17:52] <hubsinger> Miscni: sry - but "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" must work ;-)

[17:59] <LinuxApprentice> auronandace, i didn't.....and it's already installing after clicking 'upgrade' so will it be a problem?
[18:00] <auronandace> LinuxApprentice: i'm not sure, i usually fresh install (less to go wrong that way)
[18:01] <LinuxApprentice> it should be ok
[18:02] <LinuxApprentice> it ran a script i guess to determine what needed to be upgraded/replaced
[18:02] <Miscni> hubsinger, sorry matey, that didn't work, but I will try another keyboard setting, but thx for the info matey, need to eat, the misses just called ;-)

[18:04] <tom_toc> Fyodorovna: Looks like my problem may not just be a monitor config problem.  Messing with the recovery mode of grub, edited the lines a bit and could see the boot process.
[18:05] <tom_toc> Fyodorovna: Seeing VFS: Cannot open root device "UID=blah blah" or unknown block(0,0)
[18:06] <tom_toc> Fyodorovna: then "Kernel panic  - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mout root fs on unkown block..
[18:06] <tom_toc> Looks like a hard drive issue :-(
[18:06] <corewillem> hello everyone
[18:06] <corewillem> i have a problem
[18:06] <bobo37773> tom_toc: Hmm. Is the UID correct? Can you get to a shell to check?
[18:07] <corewillem> i'm trying to get crossover 10 work
[18:07] <corewillem> in my ubuntu 12.04
[18:07] <auronandace> !12.04 | corewillem
[18:07] <tom_toc> bobo37773: I can load live CD and check
[18:07] <ikonia> corewillem: the cross-over support guys are the best people to ask
[18:07] <corewillem> but than it say that my python is wrong
[18:07] <tom_toc> bobo37773: it was all working before..
[18:07] <ikonia> corewillem: they will support you
[18:07] <diimdeep> https://gist.github.com/c54301affd00fb9a192f
[18:07] <bobo37773> tom_toc: Do you know how to chroot
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> corewillem: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[18:07] <corewillem> i dont have a expensiv call abbo
[18:07] <diimdeep> please help https://gist.github.com/c54301affd00fb9a192f
[18:08] <corewillem> precise
[18:08] <ikonia> corewillem: don't know what you just said, but cross-over is a comercial product
[18:08] <corewillem> is the output
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> corewillem: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[18:08] <corewillem> yeah i know
[18:08] <ikonia> corewillem: the cross-over support people will help y ou
[18:08] <corewillem> but for support you must pay
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> corewillem: so why ask here then..
[18:08] <ikonia> corewillem: that's how comercial products work
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> corewillem: no, its free for ubuntu support here
[18:08] <tom_toc> bobo37773: I have done it before but it's been a long time
[18:08] <bobo37773> corewillem: It's an interpretter problem. You probably need to change python to python2 or python2.7 etcetra in crossover
[18:09] <corewillem> yeah
[18:09] <ikonia> corewillem: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/
[18:09] <corewillem> but i need to install python
[18:09] <corewillem> nothing more nothing less
[18:09] <corewillem> is that so difficult ?
[18:09] <Dragin> How do I check to see if my Ubuntu firewall is blocking me from connecting to a server that I've been trying to get running for three days now? :(
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> corewillem: python is installed, your release is supported in #ubuntu+1 til release day
[18:09] <ikonia> corewillem: yes
[18:09] <bobo37773> corewillem: python should have been pulled in as a dependency. That isn't the problem
[18:09] <ikonia> bobo37773: it is the problem, it's an incompatible version of python
[18:10] <corewillem> and can't i install a compatible version
[18:10] <bobo37773> ikonia: Are you sure it's not crossover calling the wrong version?
[18:10] <hubsinger> corewillem: currently there are 40 people in #crossover
[18:10] <Unknown0BC> Is there a way to trun the "\|" key next to the "z" key to act like a "shift" key ?
[18:10] <corewillem> k i will check it out
[18:10] <pepee> Dragin, what firewall?
[18:10] <ikonia> bobo37773: pretty sure as the version it wants isn't in 12.04
[18:10] <mneptok> corewillem: you have 2 problems in this channel. you are using a commercial product that not many use, and you are using a pre-release version of Ubuntu. 12.04 questions belong elsewhere.
[18:10] <bobo37773> ikonia: Ah I see.
[18:11] <Dragin> default?
[18:12] <pepee> !firewall
[18:12] <bobo37773> ikonia: Is Ubuntu python3 default now?
[18:12] <mobilenoob11> Hey everyone. Is Evolution the best calendar app for ubuntu, or is there something elese I should know about?
[18:12] <Dragin> thanks
[18:12] <bobo37773> mobilenoob11: I use Evolution. Are you having a problem with it?
[18:12] <mobilenoob11> no
[18:13] <mobilenoob11> just like to get opinions
[18:13] <pepee> Dragin, check if the firewall is enabled with 'ufw status'
[18:13] <Dragin> checking
[18:13] <bobo37773> tom_toc: Maybe the UID got messed up during recovery. Hard to say. Doesn't sound like an hdd issue to me though
[18:13] <mobilenoob11> Is that off topic?
[18:13] <pepee> Dragin, it could be the remote machine that's blocking you
[18:14] <bobo37773> mobilenoob11: I like it best. That's my opinion. Wish it was a little more keyboard driven though. But pound for pound I think it is the best.
[18:14] <tom_toc> encouraging.  at a minium, I can probably backup my system (/home anyway) and reinstall ubuntu.. Not my favorite option, but a path forward.
[18:14] <Dragin> says it's inactive. I guess that blows that theory all to hell :(
[18:15] <mobilenoob11> Thanks!
[18:15] <tom_toc> I think I just need to fix he loading sequence... but maybe more.
[18:15] <ironhalik> ok, so I want to fix ugly plymouth on _nouveau_ drivers - any ideas? :) nouveaufb is being loaded, tty/splash on shutdown is high res, its just broken during boot
[18:16] <bobo37773> tom_toc: I don't know a whole lot about grub2 but you may be able to change the UID with the partition like sda3 sda4 whatever.
[18:17] <classroom> hello people
[18:17] <bobo37773> classroom: Hello person
[18:17] <pepee> Dragin, what do you want to do?
[18:17] <Dragin> the remote machine should be my router.... and I have the correct ports open
[18:17] <classroom> me i have questionnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[18:17] <Dragin> I am trying to run a TeamSpeak3 server
[18:17] <auronandace> ironhalik: i think it is just a cosmetic issue
[18:18] <classroom> <question having
[18:18] <classroom> has a question
[18:18] <bobo37773> classroom: Just ask. It's okay
[18:18] <bazhang> classroom, ask
[18:18] <classroom> okay
[18:18] <auronandace> classroom: we have answers, but to what questions? ask and find out
[18:18] <classroom> who can help me
[18:18] <pepee> Dragin, use netcat to test for open ports
[18:18] <madsy_> What's the latest Ubuntu version without Unity or where I can turn Unity off?
[18:18] <ironhalik> auronandace: sure it is, that doesnt fix the problem
[18:18] <bobo37773> classroom: Just ask!
[18:18] <bazhang> classroom, just ask
[18:18] <classroom> there are only  silly answers not silly questions!!!
[18:18] <Dragin> ok
[18:18] <classroom> okay:
[18:19] <Dragin> checking now
[18:19] <classroom> i want to set up ubuntu. before i use windows
[18:19] <pepee> Dragin, leave one port opened, and then   nc $external-IP $port
[18:19] <tom_toc> bobo37773: Yeah, that may be a good approach.  Thanks for the tips and suggestions..  Need to run to a meeting so I'll have to come back to this mess..Cheers!
[18:19] <bobo37773> tom_toc: Okay. Take care
[18:20] <auronandace> ironhalik: i've found plymouth doesn't look good with the nvidia binary drivers too, i know it doesn't solve your problem but at least you haven't lost any funcionality
[18:20] <bobo37773> classroom: Are you looking for an install tutorial? Where are you running into a problem?
[18:20] <tom_toc> bobo37773: is it possible to 'reinstall' ubuntu - over the current one... but keep my files?
[18:20] <ironhalik> auronandace: yeah, there are some fixes for that, sadly they dont work for me
[18:20] <classroom> i have problem
[18:20] <classroom> Leute hier is mein Sys info zeugs
[18:20] <formatproblem> I am trying to format a SD card but I get the following error, what should I do? http://pastebin.com/49HyM9AN
[18:20] <bazhang> classroom, yes you said that. ask a question, all on ONE line
[18:21] <bobo37773> tom_toc: Many things are possible. If you're asking me if I recommend it: No I don't.
[18:21] <tom_toc> bobo37773: I'm thinking., update all the OS stuff and leave everything else alone..
[18:21] <classroom> sorry for german.
[18:21] <ikonia> hi Lars
[18:21] <classroom> well i want to have a CD put on uubntu there
[18:21] <auronandace> !de | classroom
[18:21] <tom_toc> bobo37773: (that would be after I backup what I know I need...  It's just what I don't know i need..)
[18:21] <classroom> Well i downloaded ISO from ubuntu.com
[18:22] <bobo37773> tom_toc: Back up and just do a clean install.
[18:22] <xangua> classroom: did you read the instructions at ubunutu.com ¿
[18:22] <classroom> yes for sure
[18:22] <classroom> now i wanted burn the ISO on media
[18:22] <classroom> but he tells me there is no media in the disk burner!!!
[18:22] <xangua> classroom:  and then the problem is¿
[18:22] <classroom> can not understand this
[18:22] <tom_toc> bobo37773: that sounds like a good path.. Is there a reccomended backup approach, or just grab /home?
[18:23] <classroom> he tells no CD in recorder
[18:23] <auronandace> classroom: do you have a blank cd in the cd drive?
[18:23] <classroom> no
[18:23] <bobo37773> tom_toc: Use rsync to back up the whole thing if that's what you want. I usually back up /etc as I make a lot of changes there too. Also, you may want to create a list of all installed applications so you can install them back all at once.
[18:23] <classroom> have i ???
[18:24] <formatproblem> can someone tell me how can I solve my problem? http://pastebin.com/49HyM9AN
[18:24] <auronandace> classroom: you want to burn the iso to a blank cd?
[18:24] <classroom> no i havent , i looked
[18:24] <classroom> yes auronandance
[18:24] <auronandace> classroom: then you need a blank cd
[18:24] <tom_toc> bobo37773: yep, sounds like a good plan.   would rsych work to a local usb drive?
[18:24] <classroom> oh i thought i downloaded the iso and so there is some tbhen
[18:24] <classroom> why did i download the iso then if i have to buy cd
[18:25] <bekks> Because you cant burn the iso to air.
[18:25] <bekks> You have to have a blank cd to burn it to.
[18:25] <classroom> i thought i can burn iso on hard drive
[18:25] <bobo37773> tom_toc: As long as there is enough space. It's like cp. You tell it where to put the files. Pretty sure it is one of the switches.
[18:25] <auronandace> classroom: if you got the 11.10 iso you can also dd it to a usb stick
[18:25] <doherty> I want to collect system performance stats for a span of about 15 minutes, and then produce simple graphs of them, and then stop collecting stats. What's the easiest monitoring tool I can set up that'll generate PNG graphs of CPU usage, I/O, memory use, etc for me? My key requirement is quick and easy setup
[18:26] <classroom> okay then i do usb drive
[18:26] <bobo37773> classroom: You can't install without a cd for windows either. That's just not the way it works. You need to boot off of media to install
[18:26] <classroom> okaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy
[18:26] <classroom> i will fetch usb drive
[18:26] <classroom> how big must be usb drive
[18:26] <bazhang> !enter | classroom
[18:27] <auronandace> classroom: as big as the iso
[18:27] <classroom> but how  big is iso ?? 700 gb right=
[18:27] <bekks> No. 700MB.
[18:27] <classroom> ok
[18:27] <auronandace> classroom: i hope you mean 700mb
[18:27] <doherty> classroom: megabytes O.O
[18:27] <classroom> yes for sure
[18:27] <bekks> So a 1GB stick will be ok.
[18:27] <pikkachu> what's the name of the menu which hides and show on the left?
[18:27] <classroom> well then i have a question
[18:28] <classroom> are 1 gb usb drive enough??????????????????????????
[18:28] <trism> pikkachu: in unity? the launcher
[18:28] <bekks> classroom: Read what I just wrote.
[18:28] <imachine> ubottu, most def one '?' is enough
[18:28] <classroom> ok
[18:28] <imachine> oops, classroom ;]
[18:28] <auronandace> classroom: yes, as bekks just said
[18:28] <classroom> okkkkkkkkkk
[18:28] <classroom> good
[18:28] <classroom> i will try it and if i found
[18:29] <classroom> a usb druive which bigger 1 gb is
[18:29] <classroom> then i will report it later to you
[18:29] <classroom> is that okay for you
[18:29] <imachine> good luck
[18:29] <classroom> thank you madame
[18:29] <tom_toc> bobo37773: thanks!
[18:29] <imachine> hardly a madame
[18:29] <classroom> see you auronancdace
[18:29] <classroom> see you bekks
[18:29] <classroom> see you i machine
[18:29] <imachine> lates
[18:29] <auronandace> !tab | classroom
[18:30] <classroom> ok
[18:30] <classroom> !tab | classroom
[18:30] <bazhang> classroom, stop that
[18:30] <classroom> hahaha this is fubby
[18:30] <classroom> funny
[18:30] <Rudeboy> Can someone please explain to me how to properly install a package on Ubuntu? I've tried soo many times, but can't get it right. I download the package, cd to it, then ./configure, then make, then make install. Am I doing something wrong?
[18:30] <pikkachu> trism: thanks
[18:30] <classroom> can he more then this?
[18:30] <pikkachu> is there any way to move the unity launcher to the right?
[18:31] <classroom> pikkachu: no sorry
[18:31] <bazhang> classroom, /msg ubottu
[18:31] <classroom> pikkachu: it is left!
[18:31] <auronandace> Rudeboy: yes, that is called compiling, most packages are available in the package manager
[18:31] <tdlam> hi folks
[18:31] <pikkachu> classroom: how about Precise?
[18:31] <auronandace> !software | Rudeboy
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> Rudeboy: that's compilating. Packages are precompiled binaries
[18:31] <classroom> pikkachu: i do not like precise
[18:31] <classroom> !msg ubottu
[18:31] <tdlam> can anyone tell me where the .config folder is located in xubuntu?
[18:32] <bazhang> !ot | classroom
[18:32] <bekks> tdlam: In your home, cd ~/.config
[18:32] <Rudeboy> What is the difference between installing and compiling?
[18:32] <tdlam> ok ty checking
[18:32] <Rudeboy> Or, why would you comile a package?
[18:32] <classroom> okay
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> pikkachu: there is an unsupported PPA to put it on the bottom
[18:32] <Rudeboy> compile
[18:32] <bekks> Rudeboy: Compiling is the process of generating binaries to install them afterwards.
[18:33] <classroom> on the bottom??????????????????????????? Actionparsnip this is real not good
[18:33] <Rudeboy> So once compiled, I can then install it?
[18:33] <auronandace> !checkinstall | Rudeboy
[18:33] <tdlam> @ bekkes: TY my firend I found it all the best to you
[18:33] <Unknown0BC> Oh cool I think I found it.
[18:33] <Unknown0BC> :D
[18:34] <hugenumber> Can I get ssh to stop prompting for passwd after authorizedkeyfile login?
[18:34] <Dragin> sorry it took me so long pepee... the UDP times out, and the two tcp's succeed
[18:34] <auronandace> Rudeboy: always best to check if there is what you want in the package manager
[18:34] <auronandace> Rudeboy: compiling should be a last resort
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Rudeboy: deb packages make installing and uninstalling easy. If you compile you can make a deb of your efforts but most stuff you need is in software centre
[18:34] <pepee> Dragin, check in the router if the udp port is open. also, use the -u flag with netcat
[18:35] <Dragin> ok
[18:35] <classroom> ,hello i have to SAY SOMETHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[18:35] <Rudeboy> just got a call, brb
[18:35] <Th3> hi
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Thanks
[18:35] <Dragin> you just did classroom :P
[18:35] <bobweaver> Hello there I have a question about start services mainly lightdm. I would like to stop lightdm from starting on startup. So that there is just a cli sign in. How would one do this ?
[18:35] <auronandace> classroom: please behave
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: add the boot option: text
[18:36] <Th3> My internet speed is v.slow while using backtrack 5 but extremely fast while using windows
[18:36] <Th3> any ideas why?
[18:36] <auronandace> !backtrack | Th3
[18:36] <pikkachu> ActionParsnip: a unity 3d plugin right? I just searched a bit and it seems buggy
[18:36] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  sorry I do not follow could you explain a little more
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Th3: backtrack isn't supported here
[18:36] <bazhang> Th3, #backtrack-linux for that
[18:36] <bastidrazor> bobweaver: you could add 'text' to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=   then update grub. this would boot you to a cli login
[18:37] <bobweaver> this is a server also ActionParsnip
[18:37] <Th3> where do i go? ._.
[18:37] <bazhang> Th3, /join #backtrack-linux
[18:37] <Th3> tanks
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Th3: #backtrack-Linux
[18:37] <bastidrazor> bobweaver: /etc/default/grub   ..is the file you would add 'text' to.. then 'sudo update-grub'
[18:38] <hugenumber> Would some one be able to help me with a SSH config
[18:38] <esuave> what does putting a script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ file do?
[18:38] <auronandace> !upstart | esuave
[18:38] <bobweaver> bastidrazor,  this is a server xen bastidrazor  need to keep grub the way it is thanks thou
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: the server OS boots to cli anyway. bastidrazor explained it for you
[18:39] <Dragin> pepee, this is what I type, along with my output... I opened the router myself, so I know that is done. root@Linux:~# nc -v -n -z -u 70.254.42.234 9987 9987
[18:39] <Dragin> root@Linux:~#
[18:39] <bobweaver> esuave, that is also for start up corect but is there not a rc something else ?
[18:40] <bobo37773> bobweaver: Try adding "3" to your grub command line (without the quotes of course). Try it while booting to make sure it is what you want.
[18:40] <trism> bobweaver: if you are interested in disabling services on boot with upstart, see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting (specifically the override file section)
[18:40] <bobweaver> update-rc.d -f lightdm remove    ?? would work ?
[18:41] <trism> bobweaver: no, it would not
[18:41] <satyanash> Hi, How do I close windows in irssi?
[18:41] <Myrtti> satyanash: /wc
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: the text bootoption only changes the fact you boot to cli instead of graphical login, nothing else is changed
[18:41] <bobweaver> thanks I am reading them links
[18:41] <Myrtti> satyanash: or /window close :-P
[18:41] <bobo37773> satyanash: are you trying to close completely or just leave a channel?
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> satyanash:    /win cl
[18:41] <pepee> Dragin, try typing something when connecting through udp
[18:41] <pikkachu> what's a dash?
[18:41] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  so the system reboots once a day but I can not be there when it reboots
[18:41] <pikkachu> the gnome dash iirc
[18:42] <satyanash> Also, How do I list all windows/channels/servers ?
[18:42] <alusion_> Hello ubuntu, I have a problem with  Chromium everytime I go on youtube it would crash
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> satyanash: or:   /win cl number
[18:42] <alusion_> Any fix for this?
[18:42] <Steevca> I have just upgraded ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04,and i can't get network to work.I have a DSL Modem.I also have two network cards,but i only use one because the second isn't working,can the other one cause problems?
[18:42] <iceroot> Steevca: #ubuntu+1
[18:42] <Steevca> iceroot, ok,sure.
[18:42] <auronandace> why are people updating to development versions?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Steevca: it clearly states precise isn't supported here when you join the channel
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> auronandace: no idea at all...
[18:43] <Steevca> ActionParsnip, i didn't notice,i apologize.
[18:43] <iceroot> auronandace: people always need the newest software
[18:43] <alusion_> My chromium cannot play youtube videos everytime I try it would crash
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Steevca: its cool :-)
[18:44] <iceroot> auronandace: seems that newer is something like better for them
[18:44] <pikkachu> is gnome dash conflicting with unity launcher?
[18:44] <Dragin> root@Linux:~# nc -v -n -z -u 70.254.42.234 9987 9987 boo
[18:44] <Dragin> root@Linux:~#
[18:45] <iceroot> Dragin: please dont run a root-shell
[18:45] <iceroot> !sudo | Dragin
[18:45] <Rudeboy> So sorry guys, had to take a call, back now though. I can't use the Ubuntu Software Centre at the moment as my connection is too slow where I am, so I have to rely on using the downloaded version of the program
[18:45] <yandex3829> There's nothing wrong with running as root
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> alusion_: can you pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'       thanks
[18:45] <auronandace> iceroot: i still don't understand the mindset though, why not use a rolling release then like arch that uses the latest stable version (oh well, ending off-topic rant)
[18:46] <Dragin> how else do I connect to root so I can do the things I need to get done?
[18:46] <pikkachu> how about gnome do
[18:46] <Myrtti> Dragin: use sudo
[18:46] <bekks> Dragin: By connecting as user and then using sudo
[18:46] <Dragin> typed it out too fast
[18:46] <Myrtti> Dragin: "sudo nc -v -n..."
[18:46] <Dragin> thanks all... vummm... why?
[18:46] <Dragin> vummm = ummm
[18:46] <alusion_> do I input that into terminal?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> alusion_: copy it as one and run it as one command
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> alusion_: yes in ter
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Terminal*
[18:47] <bobweaver> trism,  thanks so much for the links Helps big time
[18:48] <Dragin> output remains the same... just makes me put in my pw first
[18:48] <Rudeboy> I just tried sudo apt-get install httrack, is it really that simple?
[18:48] <Rudeboy> Just waiting for it to finish
[18:48] <auronandace> Rudeboy: yes, thats what package management is for
[18:49] <Rudeboy> Oh wow :)
[18:49] <alusion_> http://pastebin.com/wsNtuFnh
[18:49] <auronandace> Rudeboy: the software centre is just a frontend for apt-get
[18:49] <Rudeboy> So stoked:)
[18:49] <pikkachu> what's the relation between gnome do and unity launcher?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Rudeboy: its rare in ubuntu to manually download apps to install
[18:49] <zykotick9> auronandace: and apt-get is just a front end to dpkg ;)
[18:50] <Rudeboy> ActionParsnip: Thank goodness, cause it looks super difficult
[18:50] <Steevca> What is the best solution to access the ubuntu partition from windows>
[18:50] <Steevca> ?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> pikkachu: both use compiz....that's about it really
[18:50] <iceroot> Dragin: using a root-shell is evil because you are starting everything as root
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Stee
[18:50] <Dragin> thanks lol
[18:50] <tim`> has anyone run into issues with python-qwt5-qt4 on 12.04 beta 2 ?
[18:50] <iceroot> Dragin: also there is a good chance then you use a wrong command and kill your system
[18:50] <iceroot> Dragin: killing the system is normally only possible as root
[18:51] <bazhang> tim`, #ubuntu+1 please
[18:51] <Dragin> that would sucketh
[18:51] <iceroot> Dragin: because of that please use a non-root-shell and if you need root-access use sudo
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Steevca: you can't if you used the default ext4 and mean on the same system
[18:51] <auronandace> Rudeboy: rarely should you ever have to compile anything, most things are available in the repos
[18:51] <Rudeboy> When I try search in the main Search, it only looks for files and folders. How do I change it back to look for applications as well?
[18:51] <alusion_> You see the link ActionParsnip?
[18:51] <Dragin> thanks vfor the tips iceroot :)
[18:51] <Rudeboy> In the Dashboard
[18:51] <Rudeboy> auronandace: Thanks :)
[18:51] <Dragin> and the explaination
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> alusion_: just checking
[18:52] <alusion_> I feel like its going to be a silly mistake I'm running a relatively fresh install
[18:52] <pepee> Dragin, my netcat works this way: nc -nvul -p $PORT  #listens  , nc -nvu $IP $PORT  #connects
[18:52] <Rudeboy> Let me re-phrase my question so it makes more sense ha ha:) How do I change the Dashboard search options, cause it;s only finding files and folders now, when it was finding applications as well
[18:52] <excelsior> do I need to back up my thumb-drive before using unetbootin to make it an install thumbdrive?
[18:53] <Dr_willis> excelsior,  always a good idea to have backups
[18:53] <sanjeev_sh> how can i upgrade my ubuntu from a private mirror(e.g from a mirror at http://xyz.com)?
[18:53] <excelsior> but if I don't, will it wipe my data?
[18:53] <Dr_willis> excelsior,  unetbootin has options both ways i belive. I never use it.
[18:53] <mdwrigh2> Has anyone managed to get adb working on 12.04 beta2, 64bit?
[18:53] <bekks> excelsior: BAck it up.
[18:53] <Dr_willis> excelsior,  data worth keeping - is worth backing up
[18:54] <auronandace> !12.04 | mdwrigh2
[18:54] <Dragin> pepee, I tried that syntax and it basically told me it was outdated, and to use the one I used
[18:54] <bazhang> mdwrigh2, #ubuntu+1 please
[18:54] <excelsior> fair enough, I'll tell my friend to back it up first
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> alusion_: uninstall flashplugin-installer, enable the partner repo in software centre and install adobe-flashplugin. 64bit flash for 64bit OS
[18:55] <Dragin> is there a quick way (i.e. command) to find out your version?
[18:55] <Rudeboy> I just installed Httrack, but now when I look for it in installed applications it's not there. When I try install again it says already installed?
[18:55] <zykotick9> Dragin: "lsb_release -a"
[18:55] <Dragin> thankies
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> Dragin: lsb_release -sc
[18:55] <alusion_> Thanks a lot :D gunna do that now
[18:55] <auronandace> !info httrack
[18:55] <bekks> Rudeboy: httrack isnt a graphical application, so it wont show up in a menu.
[18:55] <Snaggle> is there a way to search which ubuntu package would provide a certain file?
[18:55] <pepee> Dragin, dpkg -l | grep netcat
[18:56] <auronandace> Rudeboy: sounds like it might be a commandline program
[18:56] <Rudeboy> bekks: oh.. where can I find out how to use it?
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Snaggle: for installed packages: dpkg -S filename
[18:56] <auronandace> Rudeboy: try: man httrack
[18:56] <Snaggle> ActionParsnip: not yet installed.  trying to find what I would need to get
[18:57] <Dragin> lsb: command not found
[18:57] <bekks> Rudeboy: Open a terminal, type httrack
[18:57] <bekks> Dragin: The command was "lsb_release -a"
[18:57] <pepee> Snaggle, apt-file
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Snaggle: then you'll need apt-file
[18:57] <Rudeboy> auronandace: What is man? Manage?
[18:58] <auronandace> Rudeboy: manpage
[18:58] <Dragin> oh... missed that underscore
[18:58] <Dragin> thanks
[18:58] <zykotick9> Rudeboy: "man man" ;)
[18:58] <pepee> man is a command, to reaf manpages
[18:58] <pepee> *read
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: man woman
[18:58] <tyler_d> zykotick9: there is no manual entry for women
[18:58] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: segfault
[18:58] <tyler_d> he he he
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Always makes me laugh as does sl
[18:59] <tyler_d> slow locamotive
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Yeya

[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Yeah?
[19:00] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: "man sl" ;)
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: man sl    I guess
[19:00] <Rudeboy> auronandace: Ah, I understand now:) It's showing all the command line options:) Ok great, think I can do it from here. Thanks so much for the help :)
[19:00] <sae> Hi. Did the automatic update to 10.04.4 and now flash player doesn't work. Please help.
[19:00] <bobo37773> sae: Doesn't work at all?
[19:00] <pepee> sae reinstall the flash player installer package
[19:00] <alusion_> Action, there's a ton of bad reviews for the Adobe Flash Plugin 10, was there another one you might of been referring to?
[19:00] <pepee> whatever its name is
[19:01] <matt_symes> hi
[19:01] <sae> bobo37773: doesn't work at all - tried youtube, flash games, nothing
[19:01] <Xabster> I have downloaded and installed some library with sudo apt-get install libsvn-java and now Eclipse is telling me that library is too old - how do I check what version I got from the repos?
[19:01] <auronandace> Rudeboy: no worries :)
[19:01] <sae> pepee: thank you. I did that. but still the same
[19:01] <pepee> sae, or configure the browser, check if it finds the plugin file
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: that's 2 things to play with later (transgui dev fixed the white box bug, excited)
[19:01] <matt_symes> anybody know if there is a better way to see if there is a blank dvd in a drive than grepping dvd+rw-mediainfo ? I want to script something.
[19:01] <bobo37773> sae: Reinstall flash. Make sure your web browser is closed when you do.
[19:01] <sae> pepee: firefox lists it as installed plugin
[19:02] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: don't get too excited, there are only 2 other versions ;)  "apt-cache search transgui" gives me nothing - what's transgui?
[19:02] <sae> bobo37773: thank you. I tried that too. Even opened firefox from terminal to see any error messages, but nothing.
[19:02] <pepee> sae, should be working :/
[19:03] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: transmission gui - gotcha
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: it a gui for transmission to connect to a server with the web ui enabled.
[19:03] <sae> ok. I will try again.
[19:04] <bastidrazor> i use ktorrents web ui.. i like it
[19:04] <pepee> I use utorrent + wine
[19:04] <zykotick9> rtorrent in screen ftw ;)
[19:04] <sae> any way to complete purge it before reinstall? Special method for reinstallation to consider?
[19:04] <pepee> last versions don't work well :/
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> bastidrazor: same kinda deal but this is an app you can associate torrent f
[19:05] <pepee> sae apt-get remove --purge package
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Files with

[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Pepee: there is a native utorrent...
[19:05] <pepee> ActionParsnip, lots of them
[19:06] <pepee> but I like utorrent :)
[19:06] <zykotick9> subthalamus: look interesting - thanks.
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Pepee: no, just one utorrent....utorrent
[19:07] <GeminiDomino> Strange problem with Lucid server install. I've got two on-board NICs but the OS is only giving me eth0. I tried to force eth1 with ifconfig, but no dice.  I know it's not a driver issue, since they're the same ports on the same mobo. Any ideas?
[19:07] <bekks> GeminiDomino: Can you see it with ifconfig -a ?
[19:07] <GeminiDomino> bekks: Nope
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Pepee: utorrent is a client, there is a Linux version so wine isn't needed
[19:07] <bekks> GeminiDomino: Then yoyu cant use ifconfig to configure it.
[19:07] <pepee> ActionParsnip, ah, I read wrong
[19:08] <Nephro> offtop: is there any good GUI tool for todo lists? I really need one, since I seem to forget things after I get excited about something
[19:08] <GeminiDomino> bekks: I know. That's the problem
[19:08] <bekks> GeminiDomino: You need to load the driver first.
[19:08] <pepee> ActionParsnip, I found a utorrent server
[19:08] <pepee> not the same as utorrent
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Nephro: xpad, tomboy
[19:08] <GeminiDomino> Wouldn't the driver already be loaded since it's the same hardware as eth0?
[19:08] <bekks> Obviously it isnt the same hardware.
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Pepee: yes its web access only, runs in the background
[19:09] <formatproblem> is there any command to see neighboring PC in my network?
[19:09] <Nephro> ActionParsnip, isn't tomboy a note app?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Pepee: its made by the same guys. Its utorrent
[19:09] <KM0201> isn't that wwhat you asked for Nephro ?
[19:09] <pepee> yeah
[19:09] <formatproblem> is there any command to see neighboring PC in my network?
[19:09] <pepee> but I like the windows gui
[19:09] <hugenumber> formatproblem i use iftop
[19:10] <formatproblem> thanks
[19:10] <pepee> formatproblem, nmap?
[19:10] <KM0201> formatproblem: search synaptic for a program called "pyneighborhood" or something like that
[19:10] <Andi_M_> hi folks, anyone in here know a lot about SWFs and Ubuntu compatibility?
[19:10] <Nephro> KM0201, not really, I'd like a thing that I could add tasks to, prioritize them, etc, mark them completed
[19:10] <GeminiDomino> bekks: they're both coming off the same on-board controller.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Nephro: sure but you can write lists in notes. One note for each list
[19:10] <jimbo> some one speak spanish?
[19:10] <bobo37773> formatproblem: You mean see if someone else is on your network?
[19:10] <bazhang> Andi_M_, the file format?
[19:10] <Xabster> I have downloaded and installed some library with sudo apt-get install libsvn-java and now Eclipse is telling me that library is too old - how do I check what version I got from the repos?
[19:10] <josten> How do I import bookmarks and then my ubuntu dreams will be will be filled?
[19:10] <pepee> jimbo, yo
[19:10] <pepee> !es | jimbo
[19:10] <bazhang> jimbo, in #ubuntu-es
[19:10] <jimbo> thanks
[19:11] <GeminiDomino> At least, they should be
[19:11] <Nephro> ActionParsnip, I can't believe there aren't apps developed specifically for todo lists
[19:11] <bazhang> Nephro, sticky notes? or calendar
[19:11] <Andi_M_> bazhang: I have 3 SWFs that were running standalone on Windows that I need to port to an Ubuntu install.  1 is a container which then calls the other 2, a video and a game inside it.  They all work individually, but when I run the container, the video just shows a black screen, all the rest of it works...
[19:12] <Nephro> seems I'll have to implement one myself.
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Nephro: there may be, search software centre. I'm not knowledgable of EVERY package available
[19:12] <sae> pepee: do you know the exact name of the package?
[19:12] <Andi_M_> bazhang: I've tried installing codecs and whatnot thinking it might be that then realized it works if I run it on it's own.  Unfortunately I don't have the original FLAs as this was done 5 years ago.  I tried to decompile but SWFDecompiler took my money and never gave me a valid license key and they're tech is in China now, lol.
[19:12] <aondmm> muhehehehe
[19:12] <aondmm> check FB :D
[19:13] <bazhang> aondmm, ?
[19:13] <KM0201> Andi_M_: you paid for a linux app?
[19:13] <pepee> sae, no, but you can check: dpkg -l | grep flashplayer
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> !find todo
[19:13] <Andi_M_> KM0201: lol, mac
[19:13] <sae> pepee: thank you
[19:13] <KM0201> Andi_M_: ah, ok.. :)

[19:14] <killer_> no D-BUS daemon running
[19:14] <killer_> is the errror
[19:15] <pepee> people should be introduced to apt, dpkg and aptitude before installing ubuntu
[19:15] <pepee> those three do all the work for you :)
[19:16] <Giourgia> Hello. I have made a clean installation of ubuntu 11.10 and I have some really weird issue with the sound. It a scratching sounding like disaster! I've made all upgrades and I'm using 3.0.0-17 kernel
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> pepee: no, let them use software centre. Its more user friendly
[19:16] <pikkachu> ActionParsnip: ok but I'm afraid of using it because it seems a bottom positioned launcher, not something that changes the position of the original launcher
[19:16] <vlt> Hello. Where can I find symbols I create on my German keyboard with AltGr+<key> (like » « „ “ ” · › ‹ × ÷ … – — ’) on a US keyboard in Ubuntu?
[19:17] <pikkachu> ActionParsnip: that is, I need to trust that the PPA will be always up to date with original launcher
[19:17] <pikkachu> ActionParsnip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415?comments=all
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[19:17] <Giourgia> I forgot to mention that this only happens with VLC
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> pikkachu: yes, known issues
[19:18] <pepee> ActionParsnip, yeah, unless the software centre doesn't work...
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Giourgia: tried the vlc ppa
[19:18] <killer_> no D-BUS DAEMON RUNNING...WHAT TO DO
[19:18] <pikkachu> ActionParsnip: sounds like they don't want to fix it, sad because it's annoying to accidentally click on items in the launcher just because it appeared suddenly (I think I've read in Precise it will be always shown by default but no better than moving)
[19:18] <DasEi> !info ascii | vlt
[19:18] <bekks> killer_: starting it would be the first option :)
[19:18] <pikkachu> in Oneiric, is it possible to set the launcher to always be shown?
[19:19] <Giourgia> no I use the repository version
[19:19] <killer_> bekks : how to do it
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> pikkachu: its fairly stationary, yes
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> !info vlc
[19:19] <bekks> killer_: "sudo service dbus start"

[19:21] <ActionParsnip> hugenumber: i use openbox which fluxbox is based on
[19:21] <Giourgia> will try ppa and report back
[19:22] <Combatjuan> I'm trying to figure out if I have 32bit or 64 bit ubuntu installed.  uname says that it is 2.6.24-33-server.
[19:22] <esuave> Combatjuan: uname -a
[19:22] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I've got about 2GB of RAM and a laptop HDD I don't want being constantly accessed by firefox/plugin-container/adobe's flash plugin. Is it possible for me to put both firefox and the adobe flash plugin into a ramdisk with relative ease (supporting libraries included)?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Combatjuan: u
[19:23] <Combatjuan> esuave: Oh wow.  It says x86_64, I just didn't see it.  Thanks.
[19:23] <esuave> np :P
[19:23] <Unknown0BC> Ok, its really easy to set up a wireless network between to pc's using ubuntu right ?
[19:23] <Th3> herro
[19:23] <Th3> anybody know where i could get help?
[19:23] <bazhang> th3 for bt?
[19:23] <Unknown0BC> But how ?
[19:24] <Unknown0BC> right it must be an ad-hoc connection yes ?
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: you can setup adhoc wifi using network manager
[19:25] <Giourgia> Unfortunately with VLC 2.0.2 the sound is still scratchy like hell
[19:25] <VGoff> Does anyone know how to unpin packages that don't seem to modify the three files (as they don't exist) as mentioned in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto?
[19:25] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, Yeah i'm figuring.
[19:25] <Unknown0BC> wondering about the security model...
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Giourgia: try: rm -r ~/.config/vlc    after closing the app
[19:26] <foobArrr> CharminTheMoose: arch wiki has a nice description about firefox profile on a ramdisk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox_Ramdisk   I have no idea about flash, though
[19:26] <Unknown0BC> ah probably passphrase...
[19:26] <Unknown0BC> mmm
[19:27] <Giourgia> that didn't help either.
[19:27] <Andi_M_> aha, update on the flash video issue if anyone cared, it was a 404... /me is being stupid again :D
[19:28] <Guest382> --help
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> CharminTheMoose: install preload and set vm.swappiness to 10. May help
[19:29] <Giourgia> changing the audio output module in VLC temporarily fixes the problem but after reboot it comes back
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Giourgia: are there bugs reported?
[19:30] <Giourgia> I'm trying to find sth similar but no success
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Giourgia: did you delete the folder?
[19:31] <CharminTheMoose> Oh cool, thanks for that foobArrr and ActionParsnip. I'll get reading up on both of 'em
[19:31] <Giourgia> yes I did
[19:32] <sae> pepee: no luck. This is an older PC - AMD 2600+ with GeForce MX 440 AGP. CAn I go roll back the upgrade somehow?
[19:33] <Giourgia> some update must caused this
[19:33] <bekks> sae: By using your backup.
[19:33] <sae> pepee: I disabled all other plugins, and restarted. But no luck.
[19:33] <sae> bekks: :) thank you - I wish I had one.
[19:35] <Giourgia> I suspect this might be it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/751265
[19:36] <rebe> how can I check what fonts are installed ?
[19:38] <Xabster> Does ubuntu have a firewall install out of the box? If so, can it be the cause of my port forwardings are not working?
[19:38] <CellTech> Any way to speed up this disk caching thing before I smash my computer? :D
[19:39] <Giourgia> Xabster: It does have iptables but its not configured by default
[19:39] <Xabster> so any and all connections should be open both ways, Giourgia ?
[19:39] <Xabster> unless I did something
[19:39] <Giourgia> iptables does not block anything normally
[19:40] <Unknown0BC> Ok, I knew setting up a wireless network between two pc's on ubuntu is easy.
[19:41] <Unknown0BC> But what I don't know, is why its not working...
[19:41] <Unknown0BC> lol
[19:41] <Unknown0BC> so I use network-manager
[19:41] <sae> bekks: any way to re-run the upgrade?
[19:41] <Unknown0BC> I use "new wireless network" from the menu
[19:42] <bekks> sae: It is updated already. All you could do is to install the package in question again - whats the exact problem so far?
[19:42] <Unknown0BC> I make it ad-hoc
[19:42] <Unknown0BC> I give it a security key.
[19:42] <ironhalik> Can I access a /dev/video stream, over ssh, using vlc? :)
[19:42] <Unknown0BC> and give it a manual ip address under IPv4.
[19:42] <Unknown0BC> the local machine seems to connect to this network.
[19:43] <Unknown0BC> The remote machines does not see the new network.
[19:43] <Unknown0BC> I dunno I never made it invisible or hidden.
[19:43] <scientes> why does apparmor eat so much CPU on boot?
[19:43] <scientes> it makes my boot slow
[19:43] <trism> rebe: you could try installing font-manager, it allows you to browse through your installed fonts
[19:43] <sae> bekks: firefox and flash plugin. It is listed in the plugins list , but no flash is playing.
[19:43] <txomon> hi, I have a broadcom chipset. I deactivated the propietary driver, and now I want to activate it again, but it is not getting activated (lspci doesn't show it as being used=
[19:43] <txomon> )
[19:43] <tyler_d> scientes: it needs to verify packages and apps to ensure authenticity and rules
[19:44] <Unknown0BC> excuse me, I've just never set up a network on Ubuntu, but I thought i'd be done already.
[19:44] <Unknown0BC> hah
[19:44] <Unknown0BC> !
[19:44] <tyler_d> scientes: you can I believe modify what app armour actually watches and checks, but its not advisable.
[19:44] <Unknown0BC> So if the new network appears visible on the machine I've set it up on, but not on the other pc.
[19:44] <scientes> ahh so selinux might be faster cause its based on lables
[19:45] <scientes> does it actually checksum binaries tyler_d ?
[19:45] <Unknown0BC> mmm ?
[19:45] <Unknown0BC> very weird.
[19:45] <GeminiDomino> Yeah, this is wierd. One NIC is detected by lspci as 8257L gigabit ethernet (using the e1000 driver, per lshw) , and the other is only coming up as "Device 1502" which would seem, from all my googling, to also use the e1000 driver.
[19:45] <Unknown0BC> Easy as hell to set up a network on Ubuntu, what am I missing ?
[19:45] <rebe> how can I check if anti-aliasing is on or off on fonts ?
[19:45] <sae> bekks: happend after the automatic upgrade to 10.04.4
[19:45] <scientes> does ubuntu have the capability of some sort of trusted boot tyler_d ?
[19:46] <scientes> tyler_d, and forcing stuff to come from repos?
[19:46] <Unknown0BC> the local machine connects to itself.
[19:46] <Unknown0BC> Great the other pc sees no network.
[19:46] <Unknown0BC> of that name.
[19:46] <tyler_d> scientes: I'm not sure I know what you mean... by "Trusted Boot" that is in part the direction and objective of apparmor.
[19:47] <scsinutz> is it possible to untar a file over http?
[19:47] <tyler_d> scientes: as far as forcing things from repos... modify your sources for installation you mean? or are you talking manual compilation/installation?
[19:47] <Unknown0BC> shall I reboot it ?
[19:47] <Unknown0BC> I don't think that will help.
[19:47] <Unknown0BC> Well now. Guys what am I missing ?
[19:48] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: what is the problem here?
[19:48] <scientes> tyler_d, im talking about locking down the platform
[19:48] <scientes> but still allowing installation/uninstallation tyler_d
[19:48] <scientes> i want the person to still feel they own it
[19:48] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, I am just trying to set up a wireless network between two ubuntos.
[19:48] <Unknown0BC> Ubuntu PC's.
[19:48] <Nanegoto> I do not have rights to write in the other  partitions of my hard drive... help pls ! The fs is ext4
[19:49] <scientes> tyler_d, what i mean is have it hooked to the booting process, like uEFI secure boot
[19:49] <tyler_d> scientes: I don't know tbh
[19:49] <Unknown0BC> the other machine does not see the new network I created on the one.
[19:49] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: to what end? what are  you trying to accomplish by this?
[19:50] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d ! what are networks for ?
[19:50] <Unknown0BC> lol !!!
[19:51] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: what and why are you trying to configure a wireless adhoc network between 2 machines
[19:51] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: whats the end goal?
[19:51] <LinuxApprentice> hi
[19:51] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, to tansfer data at a good rate.
[19:51] <Unknown0BC> better than bluetooth.
[19:51] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: then wireless is deff not the answer
[19:51] <Unknown0BC> without any wires.
[19:52] <Unknown0BC> I don't have wires.
[19:52] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: and your opposed to a wireless router why?
[19:52] <Giourgia> I found a solution to the VLC sound mayhem. thanks for the help.
[19:52] <Unknown0BC> and don't want wires.
[19:52] <LinuxApprentice> i upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and I was using the proprietary broadcom wireless driver but now on completing the upgrade there is no option for wireless networks on the network-manager on the panel. why is this?
[19:52] <Unknown0BC> I don't have a router.
[19:52] <Jordan_U> scientes: UEFI secure boot is of limited value, and it probably cannot be implemented in GNU/Linux for legal and practical reasons: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/9844.html But verification of all "system" files by the firmware is possible. See what Google has done with their Chromebooks.
[19:52] <Unknown0BC> I only have the two pc's.
[19:52] <Unknown0BC> I just want to transfer data.
[19:52] <Unknown0BC> No under these conditions if you have a better solution then shoot.
[19:53] <Unknown0BC> But I think this may be a waste of time.
[19:53] <LinuxApprentice> do i need to remove the proprietary driver and reinstall it? won't work across versions?
[19:53] <Unknown0BC> It should have been childs play to set up a quick wireless network between two pc's.
[19:53] <Unknown0BC> No so ?
[19:53] <Unknown0BC> what am I missing.
[19:54] <roberto> where I can find libviert.so for amd 64 bit?
[19:54] <elijah> I am trying to use ubuntu-bug as per the instructions here (http://youtu.be/18nsScrDIa0) but I never get a web browser to describe the ticket and all the other stuff the instructor is speaking of. What am I doing wrong?
[19:54] <elijah> It just returns 1729
[19:54] <funnyhaha> does anyone know what programs wont work if i install the 64 bit ubuntu
[19:54] <zykotick9> elijah: are you specifying a package?  "ubuntu-bug packagename"?
[19:55] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: you created the network on machine A, and are unable to see it from Machine B is what you are saying?
[19:55] <Unknown0BC> Oh well I suppose there must be a tut somewhere on the net showing children how do do this...
[19:55] <pepee> sae, sorry, I was away from keyboard
[19:55] <elijah> zykotick9: The first time now but the second time, yes, with ubuntu-bug unity, that one didn't return anything.
[19:55] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, yeah.
[19:55] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: can you see the network created from anywhere, ie. smartphone?
[19:55] <pepee> sae, try until it works :)
[19:56] <elijah> zykotick9: It takes me through a few of the steps and then asks if I want to upload it and it appears to work etc but not much more
[19:56] <zykotick9> elijah: ok, just checking.  sorry i don't have any other suggestions - been a long time since i used ubuntu-bug.  best of luck man.
[19:56] <pikkachu> what are the two subkeys generated along with pgp keys in the graphical key manager?
[19:56] <sae> pepee: thank You :) - I tried installing Chromium - no luck there either
[19:56] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, I wonder if my phone is smart enough for that...
[19:56] <Unknown0BC> mmmm
[19:56] <Unknown0BC> let me check.
[19:57] <Unknown0BC> ( it is a smart phone, but its not always as smart as i'd like )
[19:57] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: you have a static ip configured and no BSSID on machine A
[19:58] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: and no Gateway
[19:58] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, lemme double check.
[19:58] <patrickgamer> any good site references for matching an Ubuntu release to old hardware specs? Trying to repurpose a Dell Inspiron 2500...
[19:59] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, yes.
[19:59] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, IPv4 only.
[19:59] <Unknown0BC> static ip
[19:59] <jteguest> does anybody know if linux can load and execute a .com program ?
[19:59] <scientes> tyler_d, yeah this hardware doesn't need any out-of-tree modules
[19:59] <guntbert> !enter | Unknown0BC
[19:59] <pepee> sae, try this: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/howdoi/how-do-i-install-plugins-for-firefox-in-linux/199  (under Flash)
[19:59] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: iwconfig <<yourdevice>>  ----> pastbin please
[20:00] <guntbert> jteguest: not possible (exept maybe with WINE ?)
[20:00] <sae> pepee: thanks! Will try that
[20:01] <jteguest> but they are just raw binaries with offset org 100h
[20:01] <zykotick9> jteguest: wine or dosbox would be my suggestions.
[20:02] <jteguest> Question are com programs only for 16bit programs or can they be used for 32bit ?
[20:02] <guntbert> jteguest: that has nothing to do with ubuntu support
[20:02] <jteguest> in theory you can but anything into raw binary com files
[20:03] <jteguest> ok sorry
[20:03] <pepee> sae, read this https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/where-to-put-libflashplayer-so-778198/
[20:03] <jteguest> my other question was on a.out does it support both 16 and 32 bit programs
[20:03] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, http://pastebin.com/5TKBy6ak
[20:03] <pepee> sae, try changing permissions, etc.
[20:05] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: that looks good so far, `ipconfig wlan0` --> pastebin plz
[20:05] <guntbert> jteguest: you might better as k this kind of questions in ##linux
[20:06] <jteguest> cann't get on to ##linux ?
[20:07] <guntbert> !register | jteguest
[20:08] <jteguest> depends on my compiler what ? no it depends on the loader
[20:08] <funnyhaha> i was thinking of installing the 64 bit i have been running large calculation and its really slow.. does anyone thing it will run 2 times faster?? and how is the programs can i still run 32bit programs?
[20:08] <jteguest> assuming you can create code with 16 , 32 , or what ever you want
[20:08] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, I think I have the problem. I did not switch on the other pc.
[20:09] <iceroot> funnyhaha: it will not be faster
[20:09] <funnyhaha> no
[20:09] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: ummm.... you lost me there?
[20:09] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, only kidding however, the other laptop has a button you must slide to switch on the wifi card. I did not do that. I thought it was still on. I have now switched it on and doing a reboot.
[20:10] <funnyhaha> then whats the point of 64 bit
[20:11] <funnyhaha> i dont understand
[20:11] <iceroot> funnyhaha: more ram
[20:11] <yandex38291> funnyhaha: It allows a computer to have more memory registers
[20:11] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: you shouldn't have to reboot
[20:11] <yandex38291> funnyhaha: 2^64
[20:11] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, now the laptop is doing  forced disk check first just to tease me.
[20:11] <funnyhaha> o
[20:11] <rhizmoe> ugh. how is it possible to use rhythmbox without a genre pane?
[20:11] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, yeah, but I find it would never work without a reboot for some reason, if I did not switch it on before it booted or while it booted.
[20:12] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: while it does that on machine B paste the ifconfig of machine A for me please
[20:12] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d it checks out fine.
[20:12] <Unknown0BC> But let me paste it anyway.
[20:12] <funnyhaha> well then i was also thinking about installing a GPU do you know anything about that?
[20:12] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: define that please?
[20:12] <hugenumber> rhizmoe: go to edit and preferences
[20:12] <yandex38291> rhizmoe: Who the hell uses a genre panel?
[20:13] <tyler_d> !language
[20:13] <Unknown0BC> fine, great, good, thumbs up ;)
[20:13] <Unknown0BC>  tyler_d, lol here: http://pastebin.com/9HZVD3U9
[20:14] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: very good, ty.
[20:14] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, tada ! connected
[20:15] <Unknown0BC> thanks for helping.
[20:16] <iceroot> funnyhaha: installing a gpu?
[20:16] <funnyhaha> yeah they have more flops for the money
[20:17] <funnyhaha> ggraphics card
[20:17] <iceroot> funnyhaha: your "question" does not make sense
[20:17] <Unknown0BC> Ok now I suppose I have sharing issues.
[20:17] <ha1dfo> hi all. I'm running dhclient on ubuntu 10.10 on a network interface what is renamed programatically later on. How can I stop dhclient gracefully (not killing)?
[20:17] <Unknown0BC> ummmm
[20:19] <guntbert> !crosspost | ha1dfo
[20:19] <DasEi> ha1dfo: sudo service dhcp3-client stop
[20:19] <ha1dfo> DasEi, thanks. and sorry
[20:20] <tyler_d> Unknown0BC: good to hear, best of luck
[20:20] <Unknown0BC> tyler_d, thanks.
[20:20] <funnyhaha> using a GPU should be something like 80 times faster than my CPU for calculation i wanted to know if anyone has done this
[20:21] <iceroot> funnyhaha: and your program is supporting gpus?
[20:21] <Anthony_1> hi
[20:21] <iceroot> funnyhaha: and no it does not mean ist 80 times faster
[20:21] <bibi23> how can I install java in ubuntu? I've installed the java-common package with aptitude but I'm getting error /usr/bin/java not found
[20:22] <iceroot> bibi23: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
[20:22] <iceroot> !info openjdk-6-jre
[20:22] <funnyhaha> not sure if it will work
[20:22] <rcmaehl> Are there any programs like Synapse for Windows?
[20:22] <DasEi> funnyhaha:I haven't myself, but there was a channel on thaat particular topic, give a minute or two
[20:22] <iceroot> rcmaehl: what is synapse doing?
[20:22] <bibi23> iceroot: thank you I'm trying it :)
[20:22] <elijah> zykotick9: It is working, but the system was not focusing the browser because it was on a different workspace. I filed a bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/971865
[20:22] <funnyhaha> o thats great
[20:23] <rcmaehl> iceroot, synapse is like gnome-do
[20:25] <funnyhaha> l
[20:26] <multiHYP> night all
[20:26] <barbori4_> i cam traying to back my switch to a linux machine and it's not letting me
[20:30] <barbori4_> i set up sftp-hpa but my switch doesn't connect to it
[20:31] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[20:31] <rcmaehl> Doesn't KDE have a version for Windows?
[20:32] <auronandace> rcmaehl: yes, not sure why you are asking here
[20:32] <rcmaehl> Where else should I ask? ##windows? I doubt any of them would have a clue what KDE is
[20:32] <alusion_> Youtube videos crash everytime on chromium is there a fix for this ><
[20:32] <ZarroBoogs> rcmaehl: How about #kde ?
[20:33] <rcmaehl> oh
[20:34] <foobArrr> how do I run a script on logout? I tried ~/.bash_logout, but that doesn't seem to work
[20:34] <donal> hi all
[20:35] <donal> I have a question about the output of update-alternatives
[20:35] <donal> what do the values "auto mode" and "manual mode" in the status column mean
[20:35] <lopret> how can i format disk drive and remove all partitions in disk ?
[20:35] <donal> I see the same version listed twice, once with auto mode and once with manual mode
[20:35] <auronandace> lopret: use gparted
[20:36] <auronandace> lopret: obviously you'll need to do it from a livecd or a different disk
[20:37] <lopret> i dont have a chance
[20:37] <lopret> live cd or diffrent disk
[20:37] <lopret> i want to destroy my disk
[20:37] <lopret> not what i am on
[20:37] <bekks> Then you need another medium to do so.
[20:37] <lopret> diffrent machine
[20:38] <reed> does anybody know exactly how Ubuntu does the audio streaming from UDS?
[20:38] <bekks> reed: Whats "UDS"?
[20:39] <reed> bekks, if you don't know you can't answer my question :)
[20:39] <reed> bekks, it's Ubuntu Developer Summit
[20:39] <lopret> gparted is gui parted i need for terminal
[20:39] <lopret> not xwindow
[20:39] <auronandace> lopret: parted or fdisk
[20:39] <reed> lopret, use parted
[20:39] <bekks> lopret: parted does not destroy anything.
[20:40] <bekks> It is just able to remove the partition table - it doesnt destroy the data on the disk.
[20:40] <reed> a hammer does
[20:40] <lopret> then i must choose which one does
[20:40] <wereHamster> how do I find out which package owns a file?
[20:40] <lopret> hammer good choice but it is on remote machine and it is far away from me
[20:40] <reed> f*ing unity
[20:41] <yeats> lopret: I would recommend Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN)
[20:41] <auronandace> reed: no need for that
[20:41] <reed> auronandace, yeah, fire would do too :)
[20:42] <auronandace> reed: i meant the pseudo swearing
[20:42] <`Jake`> Hi, youtube is broken for me for two or three days now. Red and blue are swapped. I tried to reinstall Adobe flash player and I tried it with Firefox and Chrome, but I can't get rid of the problem. It works fine on my windows installation. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[20:42] <`Jake`> Oh, and it works fine with html5 videos.
[20:42] <reed> auronandace, forking is not swearing :)
[20:43] <reed> auronandace, nonetheless, I apologize
[20:43] <lopret> there is a sda, sda1, sda2
[20:43] <lopret> if i destroy sda
[20:43] <Guest65393> anyone try to use festival with irssi?  trying to get the "/ignore JOINS PARTS QUITS" to work on the text to speech.
[20:43] <lopret> sda1 and sda2 also destroyed
[20:43] <lopret> right ?
[20:43] <auronandace> lopret: sda is the whole disk
[20:43] <lopret> so if i destroy it everythink gonna away
[20:43] <lopret> right
[20:44] <bekks> lopret: Removing a partition table does not destroy the data.
[20:44] <mortenmj> hi. i have a problem that apparantly needs to be solved by running grub-mkconfig and update-grub. however, since grub is broken, i can't boot into ubuntu the normal way. how do i boot ubuntu so i can successfully run those commands? i can boot to a live image, of course, but does that help any?
[20:44] <auronandace> lopret: you are going to have to define destroy
[20:44] <lopret> i've 2TB disk
[20:44] <bekks> You have to physically overwrite the _complete_ disk.
[20:44] <lopret> and i want to remove everythink what in it
[20:44] <bekks> Then overwrite the full 2TB.
[20:44] <lopret> it tooks a lot of time
[20:44] <bekks> Yes.
[20:45] <lopret> i tried
[20:45] <JoeyJoeJo> I'm trying to install the mini version of ubuntu but every time it hangs at the point where it tries to download everything it needs to do the installation. How can I fix that?
[20:45] <bekks> Otherwise, nothing gets destroyed.
[20:45] <auronandace> lopret: then like bekks said you will need to overwrite everything
[20:45] <deicon> i ve got a question: i have windows 7 and ubuntu,if i delete the partition of ubuntu then my system will boot into windows?
[20:45] <lopret> dude 2Tb disk its almost 3 days
[20:45] <bekks> deicon: Nost likely no.
[20:45] <bekks> lopret: Yes. And?
[20:45] <deicon> bekks:what can i do for that
[20:45] <Crowley2> donal: I asked myself the very same question: Difference between auto/manual mode in update-alternatives. Any answers???
[20:46] <bekks> lopret: You want to destroy _everything_ - thats the prize.
[20:46] <yeats> lopret: you can do 'dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda' - and yes that will take a very long time
[20:46] <guntbert> wereHamster: apt-file search <yourfile>
[20:46] <guntbert> !info apt-file | wereHamster
[20:46] <bekks> yeats: dd without bs= is pretty useless :)
[20:46] <lopret>    / dev/zero /dev/sda ?
[20:46] <bekks> lopret: It still will take ages.
[20:46] <lopret>  /dev/zero > /dev/sda
[20:46] <lopret> it is pain in the ass
[20:47] <DasEi> funnyhaha:sorry, I can't find the channel back, maybe #freenode can help
[20:47] <bekks> lopret: Dont expect wonders just because you want them.
[20:47] <auronandace> lopret: there is no quick way to overwrite the whole disk
[20:47] <lopret> but it should be !
[20:47] <bekks> Keep dreaming :)
[20:48] <wereHamster> guntbert: nope, not going to install apt-file. It deponds on build-essentials?!?
[20:48] <lopret> is this theroy work
[20:48] <bekks> lopret: What is "theroy"?
[20:49] <lopret> if i encrypt whole disk
[20:49] <auronandace> lopret: if you just want to be able to repartition then just overwrite the mbr, but if you absolutely need to get rid of everything on the disk then you need to do what others said (and that takes time)
[20:49] <lopret> and and destroy encryption table
[20:49] <facebook2142> I want to store installations and packages that i have made: does dpkg -l (which shows what packages are installed) include the PPA's that were manually installed? if not, how can i save that installed PPA information?
[20:49] <lopret> the data will encrypted right
[20:49] <auronandace> bekks: i think he means theory
[20:49] <deicon> can someone help me with my problem?
[20:50] <bekks> lopret: Encrypting 2TB will take ages too.
[20:50] <lopret> so i'm stuck then
[20:50] <DoctorD> what do you think about  Pidgin One-Time Pad Plug-in ?
[20:50] <Fyodorovna> deicon, what windows release? Do you have a recovery or install disc of it?
[20:50] <guntbert> wereHamster: I don't know about that, you can try with dpkg-query -S <yourfile>
[20:51] <deicon> Fyodorovna:windows 7 32 bit
[20:51] <bekks> lopret: Just take your time.
[20:51] <deicon> Fyodorovna:and i have an install disc of windows 7
[20:51] <Fyodorovna> deicon, you have a recovery disc the tiny one made in backup?
[20:51] <deicon> Fyodorovna:no
[20:51] <deicon> Fyodorovna:i have the installation disk
[20:52] <Fyodorovna> deicon, cool did you install ubuntu from a booted ubuntu disc or from windows?
[20:52] <deicon> Fyodorovna:from a usb
[20:52] <deicon> Fyodorovna:not from windows
[20:52] <deicon> Fyodorovna:from booted
[20:53] <Fyodorovna> deicon, you can reload the windows bootloader to the mbr, what OS are you in now>
[20:53] <deicon> Fyodorovna:yeah now i ve got the options from where to boot i mean when pc starts
[20:53] <deicon> Fyodorovna:ubuntu or windows
[20:54] <deicon> Fyodorovna:but if i delete it then i believe that the grub will be deleted so..
[20:54] <Fyodorovna> deicon, you get grub as of now right?
[20:55] <deicon> Fyodorovna:yes i didnt do anything
[20:55] <deicon> Fyodorovna:its fresh install of ubuntu
[20:55] <Geralt_> On 11.10 df claims a disk usage of 7.9G for my root partition, but on 12.04 df claims a usage of 12G. How can that be possible? I always thought that df reports the allocated space on disk for the files in a partition (unlike du which sums the file sizes)
[20:55] <lesshaste> hi
[20:56] <lesshaste> when I try to open a pdf it quite often comes up as blank
[20:56] <Fyodorovna> deicon, go to the ##windows Chanel and tell them you have the W7 disc and want to reload the mbr, for best channel use.
[20:56] <GRMrGecko> Any master of the find command in here that wants to help me? I want to find every file with the extension xlsx and run the following on it http://p.webra.in/0
[20:56] <lesshaste> similarly the ubuntu software center is coming up as blank white now
[20:56] <deicon> Fyodorovna:i cant do anything from there?
[20:56] <auronandace> Geralt_: 2 different partitions
[20:56] <deicon> Fyodorovna:ok then
[20:57] <Fyodorovna> deicon, are you registered?
[20:57] <deicon> Fyodorovna:registered where?
[20:57] <Fyodorovna> deicon, freenode
[20:57] <Geralt_> auronandace: it's the same partition, not two different partitions. I've 12.04 installed and booted 11.10 from a live stick and mounted my 12.04 partition there
[20:57] <deicon> Fyodorovna:i dont remember :P
[20:58] <deicon> Fyodorovna:now iam not
[20:58] <auronandace> Geralt_: any flags you are using with df? have the default flags changed between versions?
[20:58] <deicon> Fyodorovna:but how can windows help me if i told them for ubuntu?
[20:58] <Geralt_> auronandace: I just run it with df -h
[20:58] <Geralt_> but thanks I'll check that out
[20:59] <deicon> Fyodorovna:my first action is to delete the ubuntu partition
[20:59] <foobArrr> is there a gui for update-rc.d?
[20:59] <Fyodorovna> deicon, here is a reloadwiki that should help, the command needed at the terminal is bootrec.exe. /fixmbr is generally all that is needed.
[20:59] <deicon> Fyodorovna:so...
[20:59] <Fyodorovna> deicon, http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20864-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record.html
[20:59] <RandomDude> hey guy how do i install grub2 when installing ubuntu server via ssh from a remote mirror?
[21:00] <jaequery> hi, i'm trying to setup Xen virtualization on Centos 5.6. The host OS is on ext3 with an LVM reserved for the guest machines, So I create a guest as ubuntu's 11.10 which comes by default EXT4.  my question is, are my guests really on EXT4? or is it really just ext3 as the host os.
[21:00] <Freudlund_777> Hi guys, I made dumb in xorg.conf on 11.10 to make lcd tv to work with nvidia card, rebooted, now crash on startup, any suggs? Will Lshift after BIOS post goto grub something, so I can recovery somehow? All google tells me is how to get GUI away when logged in, not go "no GUI" from powerup...
[21:00] <deicon> Fyodorovna:i must create a recorevy disc for windows 7,installation disc doesnt work?
[21:01] <Fyodorovna> deicon, installation disc works.
[21:01] <DasEi> Freudlund_777: yes, boot safemode as decribed, delete/rename xorg.conf
[21:02] <Fyodorovna> deicon, just follow the wiki to the terminal and run my command then reboot straight to windows... grub will be gone then you can delete ubuntu.
[21:02] <DasEi> Freudlund_777: also can try Ate-Ctrl-F1 if regularmode, case x won't start
[21:02] <DasEi> alt*
[21:03] <splic> Hello, is there a way of getting the output size of tar before writing it to /dev/null or disk without writing it to disk first?
[21:03] <deicon> Fyodorovna:so i ll go with boorec.exe /fixmbr and then follow the instructions of the link?
[21:03] <auronandace> !text | Freudlund_777
[21:03] <pfifo> Freudlund_777, I know part of the answer, yes holding shift (or control) will trigger the grub gui when booting
[21:04] <Freudlund_777> DasEi thx , don't know what don't start but x is my guess...x is still the thing in Unity right? So I can follow how-tos for 10.04 when setting resolutions and such?
[21:04] <pfifo> jaequery, you should ask in xen support channels
[21:04] <Fyodorovna> deicon, no just my command the link is for getting to the actual windows terminal.
[21:05] <jaequery> thanks pfifo
[21:05] <DasEi> Freudlund_777: yes, basics for xorg.conf are similar, and x is the graphical surface
[21:05] <pfifo> RandomDude, if the install process doesnt trigger it, you can always do it manually
[21:05] <deicon> Fyodorovna:ah i was confused cauz you say terminal not windows terminal
[21:05] <RandomDude> pfifo the install proccess gave me grub legacy last time i did it
[21:05] <bekks> deicon: Ubuntu has no windows terminal.
[21:05] <RandomDude> pfifo then installing grub2 with apt-get corrupted the system
[21:06] <pfifo> RandomDude, ahh I see, what version are you installing?
[21:06] <pfifo> of server i mean
[21:06] <deicon> Fyodorovna:yeah i knew that
[21:06] <DasEi> !x | Freudlund_777
[21:06] <RandomDude> pfifo 11.10
[21:06] <deicon> Fyodorovna:you say only terminal and we supposed to be in windows
[21:07] <mirko1> splic: well, TAR is not a compressed format, hence the size of the .tar file is the size of the filesystem consumption. since you compress TAR archives with some other compressor, you need to ask that. for a gzip compressed archives, try "gunzip -l archive.tar" and similar for other compressors.
[21:08] <Fyodorovna> deicon, your asking for hand holding the link shows a windows terminal on the booted recovery or install. This is actually not a Ubuntu channel issue......reloading the windows bootloader.
[21:08] <deicon> Fyodorovna:ok thanks i ll try
[21:08] <pfifo> RandomDude, well I would recommend troubleshooting the move from grub legacy to grub2. make sure you completly purge grub legacy before installing grub2 and if it doesnt work correctly, try to figure out why
[21:09] <Jordan_U> RandomDude: Ubuntu uses grub2 by default. Unless you were using a very old version of Ubuntu, or a non-official derivative, the installer most certainly would not have installed grub legacy by default.
[21:09] <RandomDude> pfifo when i did apt-get for grub2 it removed grub legacy
[21:09] <n-iCe> hi
[21:09] <RandomDude> Jordan_U i am using the version of ubuntu server stored on ca.archieve.ubuntu.com
[21:09] <n-iCe> i have this error in vlc  It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
[21:10] <RandomDude> Jordan_U and it gave me grub legacy
[21:10] <n-iCe> i have integrated intel hd 2000
[21:10] <n-iCe> any idea?
[21:10] <Jordan_U> RandomDude: What made you think that it installed grub legacy by default?
[21:10] <pfifo> RandomDude, i would specifically remove one, then install the other afterwards.
[21:10] <auronandace> RandomDude: the version? which version?
[21:10] <RandomDude> Jordan_U it told me when i was in the grub menu
[21:10] <splic> mirko1: Assuming I use some compression option with tar, skipping piping to compression program I meant. I guess I'm looking for some way to get the size data piped through
[21:10] <RandomDude> ubuntu server 11.10
[21:11] <Jordan_U> RandomDude: What "told you" what? What is the exact text you saw that made you think it was grub legacy?
[21:11] <DasEi> RandomDude: http://tinyurl.com/boseqbo
[21:11] <auronandace> RandomDude: only 9.04 and under used grub legacy
[21:12] <Geralt_> auronandace: I cross checked and the total number of blocks and number of used blocks differs on both systems for ext4 partitions (I used df -B 512 on both machines). On 12.04  the number of available and used blocks is higher than on 11.10
[21:12] <Unknown0BC> Great.
[21:12] <RandomDude> auronandace well that is wierd then cause it told me it was grub legacy
[21:12] <webnet> anyone know anything about remastersys? im having an issue. i have run in dist mode and it exports an iso and an md5 sum no problems everything is all good, but then when i boot a vm from that iso i recieve this error: "Could not find ramdisk image /casper/initrd.gz" anyone ahve any thoughts about this?
[21:13] <Jordan_U> RandomDude: What "told you" what? What is the exact text you saw that made you think it was grub legacy?
[21:13] <auronandace> RandomDude: if it was grub legacy then you were using 9.04 or under
[21:14] <Anthony> Hello everyone.
[21:14] <RandomDude> i burnt a live cd of 11.10 and did the advanced install so i could do it over ssh and pulledc from ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[21:14] <CellTech> Is there anyway to speed up disk caching? This constant lag and failure is making me seconds away from smashing my harddrive
[21:14] <auronandace> Geralt_: odd, it's a little over my head
[21:14] <bekks> CellTech: Please elaborate whats happening exactly.
[21:14] <CellTech> Slow, lagging, freezing up
[21:15] <mirko1> splic: no, when you use -z, -j or similar, then tar does pipe through a compressor. just use 'file' to know what compressor (if any) is used and then use their 'list' (or similar) option. I don't know any other way.
[21:15] <Geralt_> auronandace: yeah, I'm confused too, these type of settings should be baked into the on-disk filesystem after all
[21:15] <bekks> CellTech: That are symptoms. Whats happening?
[21:16] <CellTech> Symptoms: slow, lagging, freezing up
[21:16] <bekks> You said that already.
[21:16] <CellTech> Well that's what happening. There's no other way to explain it
[21:16] <bekks> Thats far to vage to help you.
[21:16] <bekks> vague even.
[21:17] <CellTech> ok. It's slow at loading things, It's lagging when it wants to load things, it's freezing up when it's trying to load things
[21:18] <fides> 111
[21:18] <jjchen> can someone help me with eduroam please? i'm using archlinux, but i think the problem is related more to networkmanager or the kernel
[21:18] <jjchen> i am using network manager and the i'm trying to use ucsc's newly rolled out secure wireless system that gives me access to visitor wireless access at other academic institutions
[21:18] <webnet> no one has any ideas? alot of the google results indicated that the issue was due to using the wrong version of remastersys, but i am using the one from "deb http://www.remastersys.com/repository maverick/" as the deistro im remixing is 10.10
[21:18] <jjchen> network manager + network-manager-applet (the gnome frontend i'm using with fluxbox) was used to configure eduroam's wireless settings
[21:18] <jjchen> here is the relevant part of /var/log/everything.log : http://pastebin.com/uq8igbPu
[21:18] <jjchen> ucsc doesn't officially support anything other than windows, mac, and android for eduroam. the webpage for android configuration http://its.ucsc.edu/wireless-secure/eduroam/manual-config.html
[21:19] <jjchen> has some useful bits that i used to modify the instructions available here: http://www.ntnu.no/itinfo/read_article.php?aid=508
[21:19] <mirko1> CellTech: what things, freezing up when trying to load what things? what program are you using at that time, what files are you accessing? is NTFS involved?
[21:19] <auronandace> jjchen: #archlinux is where you want to go (make sure you have a registered nick)
[21:19] <CellTech> The whole computer is acting up. Everything is slow. I know the problem. Disk caching is slow. Swap is too slow.. must speed them up
[21:20] <_Marcus> CellTech: Did you try restarting it?
[21:20] <CellTech> Constantly
[21:20] <jjchen> auronandace: well i'm trying multiple places because people are more active here and maybe someone here knows more about eduroam
[21:20] <_Marcus> CellTech: Oh
[21:20] <_Marcus> CellTech: How much physical memory do you have installed?
[21:20] <auronandace> jjchen: crossposting is frowned upon here
[21:20] <pfifo> CellTech, can you disable swap?
[21:20] <CellTech> 512
[21:21] <CellTech> I'm in DDR and that stuffs not common to find cheap
[21:21] <jjchen> auronandace: why?
[21:21] <_Marcus> !crossposting
[21:21] <auronandace> jjchen: it wastes time and resources
[21:21] <jjchen> i didn't ask in multiple ubuntu channels
[21:21] <bekks> pfifo: To get the out of memory killer killing things more often? ;)
[21:21] <jjchen> i only ask when one channel doesn't have anyone at the moment who knows
[21:21] <jjchen> no one in #archlinux or ##linux was able to help
[21:21] <Toph2> my computer works great at startup (ubuntu 11.10),, After a day of so it slowly begins to bog down till after several days it almost hangs,, and I'm using xfce,, it is worse with Unity
[21:21] <mirko1> CellTech: I seriously doubt that disk-caching is the issue here. you have most probably a memory (RAM) consumtion problem
[21:22] <_Marcus> jjchen: Is it an Ubuntu-specific question?
[21:22] <CellTech> Well then there's gotta be a huge leak somewhere
[21:22] <auronandace> jjchen: that doesn't make this channel archlinux support
[21:22] <bekks> CellTech: No. Just tooless memory to run a full blown desktop on it.
[21:22] <jjchen> auronandace: like i said, it's an eduroam (wireless) on linux question; and most all of the tutorials on how to get it to work are for ubuntu online anyway
[21:23] <CellTech> Then I'm gonna drop from 11.10 back down to 10.04
[21:23] <pfifo> CellTech, on my old computer, 512 DDR, to play a few of the games i enjoyed, I would plug in a 1GB flash drive and use it for swap, then later on I started using 2 flash drives and had the system stripe them evenly.
[21:23] <DasEi> CellTech: you can use lightdm or such as wm , try lubuntu or xubuntu, and do from a mini-installer only the things you need
[21:23] <pawelero> Toph2: maybe you suffer from memory leak, what graphic drivers are you using?
[21:23] <DasEi> CellTech: ddr ? what dou mean, the location or ddr-ram ?
[21:23] <DasEi> do*
[21:23] <auronandace> jjchen: and the help offered here is ubuntu specific, it may not work on archlinux (there are many differences)
[21:23] <CellTech> ddr style ram. not sdram
[21:24] <GeminiDomino> Okay, so turns out that 12.04 beta 2 fixes my network issue. Looks like my hardware outpaced my LTS...  So the question I have now is this: at what point (ballpark is fine) in the month does the final usually come out? If it's not too long from now, I'll just wait for that rather than risking the beta on servers that need to go live
[21:24] <jjchen> auronandace: maybe, but it's a chance i'm willing to take
[21:24] <jjchen> auronandace: right now i'm out of ideas
[21:24] <DasEi> CellTech: ddr I guess, well a 1 gig on ebay or such is really the best thing to do
[21:24] <_Marcus> jjchen: I don't even think that Arch support is offered here
[21:24] <pfifo> GeminiDomino, aprilt 28th
[21:25] <CellTech> Yeah I don't online shop. Thanks anyways. I'm gonna just drop back to 10.04.. so far that was the best one ever
[21:25] <Geralt_> auronandace: I checked it a bit more with a self-writte df tool I needed recently and df -B 1 and the amount of available space on disk increases from 11.10 to 12.04, but the amount of free space is the same, hence the apparent disk usage increases from 11.10 to 12.04. But don't ask me why that is
[21:25] <auronandace> _Marcus: it isn't
[21:25] <jjchen> auronandace: i pasted a log of what my computer said happened when i tried to connect to the eduroam wireless access point. that's really the problem, not that i am on archlinux
[21:25] <laSt_duDe> Hi all!
[21:25] <GeminiDomino> pfifo: Thanks
[21:25] <Toph2> pawelero,,, is there a way I can tell from a terminal?
[21:26] <DasEi> pong. laSt_duDe
[21:26] <laSt_duDe> I am running ubuntu 11.10 on a 120gb hdd. I want 16gb of that hdd to be a new partition. Can anyone explan me how to do that? thanks
[21:26] <DasEi> laSt_duDe: boot a live cd, use gparted, then fix fstab's uuid's
[21:26] <DasEi> !uuid
[21:27] <pfifo> laSt_duDe, run through a gparted tutorial
[21:27] <DasEi> laSt_duDe: live cd handy ?
[21:27] <laSt_duDe> yes i have usb drive ubuntu
[21:27] <pawelero> Toph2: try installing mesa-utils and then run: glxinfo |grep vendor
[21:28] <DasEi> laSt_duDe: well boot it and come back then so we / I can assist
[21:28] <laSt_duDe> ok, thank you
[21:28] <pawelero> Toph2: I have to be going, but maybe someone else will help you
[21:28] <pawelero> bye everyone
[21:29] <Toph2> pawelero,,, sorry,, i found it,,, ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver
[21:31] <Shinobi> How do I mount a cifs partition over ssh?  I've set up tunnels for 139:server:139 and 445:server:445 but it doesn't work
[21:31] <beandog> gvfs would be simpler
[21:32] <shony>  Hello!
[21:32] <beandog> not to mention it'd do both ssh and civs
[21:32] <DasEi> Hi there, shony
[21:32] <beandog> *cifs
[21:32] <shony> How can I apt-get update but ony one package? I wish to update Only cfdisk
[21:32] <lesshaste> how do I completely remove the nvidia commercial drivers from the system?
[21:33] <mirko1> shony: apt-get install cfdisk
[21:33] <DasEi> shony: well you could by dpkg, but not advised because of dependencies
[21:37] <AcidRain2012> this is weird. i have a php file running as a cron job. if i load it in a browser. it returns the proper count of lines on a file. if cron does it. it returns "1"
[21:37] <AcidRain2012> anyone know why?
[21:38] <mirko1> AcidRain2012: cron jobs run in a limitted environment. probably you have to set some additional env vars
[21:39] <AcidRain2012> mirko1: can i show you the code?
[21:39] <markss> AcidRain2012: You could print out a bunch of debugging info, such as current working directory, contents of the environment, file it thinks it is counting the lines of, and whatever else
[21:40] <AcidRain2012> markss: you are talking about doing this in php?
[21:40] <AcidRain2012> or cron?
[21:40] <AcidRain2012> it works fine normally with php.
[21:40] <AcidRain2012> if cron does it. it fails
[21:40] <mirko1> AcidRain2012: pastebin ;-) but it probably won't help that much as we woulnd't see the exact environmen in both situations. markss' suggestion to add more printf debugging is correcnt
[21:41] <markss> AcidRain2012: i mean in the PHP file itself you can output a bunch of debugging info. Then compare the output when running it from a web browser vs when running it from cron.
[21:42] <Gerrr> hi all
[21:42] <ppyhd> hi
[21:42] <Gerrr> i have a questio about ircd-irc2 pasword
[21:42] <AcidRain2012> http://pastebin.com/xbQt9Pxb here it is.
[21:42] <AcidRain2012> but look. i have done many php files before. and they work fine
[21:43] <AcidRain2012> $Count = count(file($PlayFile)); this line returns "1" from cron. it returns something like 5123 from browser
[21:43] <ubuntu_> I need help. Linux is starting to pi$$ me off. I try mint first, and then it dies with all my data. The I try ubuntu, works a little long, then dies with all my data that was stored on that op. what is my friggin problem????!!!
[21:44] <xangua> ubuntu_: sounds like your HD has a problem
[21:44] <Xabster> ubuntu_, faulty hdd?
[21:45] <DasEi> ubuntu_ calm down a bit (language); and be more precise, what does it mean dies with all the data ? hd had arrows  and flew away ?
[21:45] <ubuntu_> xangua,  I tried three new ssd s and it did the same. mint twice ubuntu once.
[21:46] <AcidRain2012> and i just changed my password
[21:46] <AcidRain2012> :)
[21:46] <ubuntu_> DasEi, it froze from time to time and then died and never booted again. it was the same for both but less freezing in ubuntu
[21:46] <ubuntu_> \
[21:46] <n-iCe> hi
[21:47] <DasEi> ubuntu_: ever looked up the logs or fsck'ed it from a live medium ? ever checked the staorage ?
[21:47] <digitalslave> anyone else having color issues with flash lately?
[21:47] <mirko1> AcidRain2012: does it work now? I don't know PHP well, but regarding cron jobs, $PlayFile = "../playlist.txt"; (ie. relative path) is asking for trouble
[21:47] <ubuntu_> DasEi, no how is that done?
[21:48] <n-iCe> I want to have xmodmap load my map when I log in
[21:48] <n-iCe> how can I
[21:48] <DasEi> ubuntu_: I've three different distros plus a bunch of vm's, on all on *nix, since 3 years, no problem;; well there are many tools to check hd's, I have my systems autochecked all ~30 boots
[21:48] <DasEi> !info e2fsck
[21:48] <DasEi> !info fsck
[21:49] <beandog> it's probably e2fsprogs
[21:49] <ubuntu_> DasEi,  But can i check it on live cd?
[21:49] <DasEi> beandog: righty
[21:49] <DasEi> !fsck

[21:49] <mirko1> n-iCe: "xmodmap filename" as an autostart?
[21:50] <DasEi> ubuntu_: are you on live now ?
[21:50] <reed> I closed firefox for the n-th time without meaning it

[21:50] <webnet> anyone know anything about remastersys?
[21:50] <ubuntu_> DasEi, have one opened...
[21:50] <DasEi> ubuntu_: mount                     <<make sure none of the hd's partition is mounted
[21:51] <digitalslave> n-iCe, add yo your .bashrc
[21:51] <DasEi> ubuntu_: sudo fdisk -l   ,  look up partitions (aka /dev/sda1.. )
[21:51] <DasEi> webnet: as of what ?
[21:51] <DasEi> !remastersys
[21:52] <ubuntu_> DasEi, then what?
[21:52] <Etronik> ubuntu_, at times it can be frustrating.... I've there myself just yesterday, in the end... itt didn't work in one instance and I just have to revert to prior OS... such is life

[21:53] <DasEi> ubuntu_: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 -y  rather, saves keypresses
[21:54] <DasEi> webnet: ask right away or else - if no answers available, try forum, too; I played around with it a little
[21:54] <OptimizedCoder> emote desktop into my ubuntu machine through VPN from a windows machine. I saw that by default my ubuntu (11.04) starts vino-server. So I just grabbed tight-vnc java viewer on my windows machine and I'm VNCing onto the ubuntu machine. Connecting to the remote desktop from within the same network is fine, but over a VPN, it is pathetically slow.
[21:54] <webnet> DasEi, here ill send a pastebin link
[21:54] <OptimizedCoder> To the point that it is not usable at all. Any solutions to this issue?
[21:54] <DasEi> ubuntu_: fsck without y option already running ? can ctrl-c it
[21:55] <ubuntu_> DasEi, i think i just fixed a ton of stuff. it asked me if i want to fix this and that
[21:55] <webnet> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/5qJFWDi0
[21:55] <DasEi> ubuntu_: through now
[21:55] <DasEi> ?
[21:55] <OptimizedCoder> this is what I see running by default on my ubuntu install : /home/prakash/02292012_build/ap/msm/deckard-65x/developer
[21:55] <OptimizedCoder> /home/prakash/02292012_build/ap/msm/deckard-65x/symbols
[21:55] <OptimizedCoder> /home/prakash/02292012_build/ap/msm/deckard-65x/trunk
[21:55] <ubuntu_> DasEi, what?
[21:56] <DasEi> ubuntu_: did fsck finish ?
[21:56] <OptimizedCoder> sorry : this is what I see running : /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-disable
[21:56] <DasEi> webnet : in a minute
[21:56] <webnet> ok DasEi
[21:56] <OptimizedCoder> Any way at all - to speed up my vnc connections over VPN?
[21:57] <ubuntu_> DasEi, i think.... you told me to hit ctrl c and that kinda stopped me feom being able to hit yes....
[21:57] <DasEi> ubuntu_: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 -y  rather, saves keypresses
[21:57] <DasEi> ..and say when done
[21:57] <OptimizedCoder> I remote desktop into my ubuntu machine through VPN from a windows machine. I saw that by default my ubuntu (11.04) starts vino-server. So I just grabbed tight-vnc java viewer on my windows machine and I'm VNCing onto the ubuntu machine. Connecting to the remote desktop from within the same network is fine, but over a VPN, it is pathetically slow.
[21:57] <lesshaste> how can I make the window drag be frame only?
[21:58] <ubuntu_> DasEi, now it is going in the terminal like a rocket.....
[21:58] <mirko1> OptimizedCoder: I have no clue at all about VPN's, but maybe you could use NoMachine's NX to get better compression?
[21:58] <OptimizedCoder> mirko1, Or would I be able to just ssh to my machine and use the cmdline - I guess some way to disable graphics?
[22:00] <BobMarley_> hello
[22:00] <digitalslave> OptimizedCoder, you can also use x11 tunneling to bring through single windowed apps as long as they arent intensive
[22:00] <digitalslave> OptimizedCoder, over ssh that is
[22:00] <mirko1> OptimizedCoder: I suggest you ask a dedicated VPN/VNC group :-)
[22:00] <OptimizedCoder> digitalslave, Ah, but I'm a noob when it comes to linux - and frankly don't have that much time to play around with settings
[22:00] <BobMarley_> i need a program that searches for a word from some text files from a directory cantaining multiple files and folders
[22:00] <Hexch> Hido somebody know some dns management software like this so I can compare? http://www.4psa.com/products-4psadnsmanager.html
[22:01] <BobMarley_> i need the program to searc also in the subfolders
[22:01] <ubuntu_> DasEi, i don't think that will end....
[22:01] <brandonbolton> Hello, I am trying to share an internet connection from Xubuntu to a Xbox and when I select wired connection it keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over.
[22:01] <pfifo> BobMarley_, try using the standard old 'grep'
[22:01] <BobMarley_> pfifo,  i think that greep just searches in just one file
[22:01] <beandog> BobMarley: grep -r
[22:02] <DasEi> BobMarleyman grep helps
[22:02] <DasEi> BobMarley  *man grep helps
[22:02] <pfifo> BobMarley_, no it can search the way you described
[22:02] <BobMarley_> pfifo,  thanks ,
[22:02] <DasEi> ubuntu_ no wonder it didn't boot , should have set that regualry by tunefs
[22:02] <BobMarley_> pfifo,  to save some of my time, do you know the command?
[22:03] <ubuntu_> das
[22:03] <tWiZtEr> anyone familiar with Ruby / gem
[22:03] <tWiZtEr> rubygems
[22:03] <ubuntu_> DasEi,  two questions, one do i have to install ubuntu again and two, how do i get it to do it every 15 or so boots?
[22:03] <brandonbolton> Hello, I am trying to share an internet connection from Xubuntu to a Xbox and when I select wired connection it keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over.
[22:04] <pfifo> BobMarley_, not exactly, try grep -nHlrF -- <term>
[22:04] <kschluter> Hi, how do I remove a repository location once Ive added it?
[22:04] <mirko1> BobMarley_: you've gotten it, don't you? ;-) grep -r pattern directory
[22:04] <tWiZtEr> # gem install bundler  || bundler requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.6
[22:05] <DasEi> ubuntu_: hopefully no reinstall, and anyway you could save your data even if sys crashes, how to turn on autochecking I show you once back in hd-os
[22:06] <mirko1> kschluter: System - Administration -> Software Source. Uncheck the repo in the list
[22:06] <tWiZtEr> fuck ubuntu sucks
[22:06] <ubuntu_> DasEi, ok thanks!
[22:07] <DasEi> ubuntu_: looks like you often pulled the plug or have bad hardware, so many fault on filesystem, always use power down, unless have hardened filesystem for that
[22:07] <zykotick9> kschluter: was it a ppa?  is so see "/msg ubottu ppa-purge"
[22:07] <kschluter> mirko1, thanks
[22:07] <kschluter> I found it using mirko1 suggestion
[22:07] <digitalslave> <-- wishes flash videos would not play in inverse colors
[22:07] <ubuntu_> DasEi,  i had to manualy shut it off time to time because it froze.
[22:08] <brandonbolton> Hello, I am trying to share an internet connection from Xubuntu to a Xbox and when I select wired connection it keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over.
[22:08] <beandog> brandonbolton: try forums
[22:08] <ubuntu_> DasEi, I have tried different ram, ssd/hdd. so i don't think it is hardware
[22:08] <wassy121_> brandonbolton: if you are using the ubuntu box with 2 NICs as a gateway to the internet . . .
[22:08] <DasEi> webnet : 10 minutes ;).. no can't say, you'll probably use version3 of remastersys, I did it fine with the ubuntugeeks' repo on lucid, I don't have the time now to reproducew it on a vm
[22:09] <wassy121_> brandonbolton: then you need a crossover CAT5 cable.
[22:09] <DasEi> webnet: so post it on ubuntuforums, I will later try it on vm
[22:09] <L3top> Does anyone know why rc5.d would be running scripts twice in a row?
[22:09] <brandonbolton> wassy121_, I have a internal wireless card and a normal network port. I tried connecting it like how I always have and it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.
[22:09] <brandonbolton> I am using a crossover cable.
[22:10] <DasEi> ubuntu_: fsck finished now ?
[22:10] <ubuntu_> DasEi, no
[22:10] <DasEi> kk
[22:10]  * DasEi gets a coffee
[22:11] <facebook2142> how can i run something every time on boot without using the gui?
[22:11] <OffGridOps> 12.04 upgrade from 11.10:  System did not completely install.  Used ctrl-alt-f1 and logged in.  Is there a way to get the install back underway?  Thanx
[22:11] <pfifo> facebook2142, put it in /etc/rc.local
[22:11] <wassy121_> brandonbolton: is "sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward" set?
[22:12] <facebook2142> i can put scripts in or bash/shell/terminal commands into that rc.local file?
[22:12] <wassy121_> facebook2142: it's run as-if a /bin/sh shell
[22:12] <L3top> you can link to scripts or put raw commands in
[22:12] <DasEi> facebook2142: either add it to /etc/rc.local or do a cronjob
[22:12] <DasEi> !cron
[22:13] <OffGridOps> It completely downloaded and was installing and I had a power failure
[22:13] <beandog> facebook2142: you can put in there whatever you want
[22:13] <beandog> that would also execute on a shell
[22:13] <Dragon64> just curious
[22:13] <DasEi> facebook2142: adding it to the init is another, more complicated method
[22:13] <ubuntu_> DasEi,  it has finished.
[22:14] <DasEi> ubuntu_: prbly that was the trick, just to be sure :
[22:14] <pastillegirl> hello, i'm running ubuntu 6.06 (i know, it's a long story).. should i upgrade each distro at a time or do a clean install via a CD or USB?
[22:14] <DasEi> ubuntu_: fsck /dev/sda5 -y
[22:15] <DasEi> ubuntu_: fsck /dev/sda3 -y
[22:15] <pfifo> pastillegirl, fresh install
[22:15] <DasEi> ubuntu_: will likely produce error message, nor ?
[22:15] <pastillegirl> thanks :)
[22:15] <beandog> DasEi: fsck /dev/sda{3,5} -y
[22:15] <beandog> :D
[22:15] <RealOp> ola
[22:15] <beandog> wait, that wouldn't work... nvm
[22:15] <DasEi> hehe
[22:15] <RealOp> so ive upgraded to the latest ubuntu and i hate it i freakin hate unity!!! so how do i get my old gnome2 back or an alternate....
[22:16] <DasEi> !pure-gnome
[22:16] <zykotick9> !notunity | RealOp
[22:16] <ubuntu_> DasEi, cant open new terminal and wont let me type...
[22:16] <jteguest> correct me if I am wrong ubuntu is derived from debian.
[22:16] <zykotick9> jteguest: it is
[22:16] <beandog> what do we do if you're right?
[22:16] <DasEi> ubuntu_: so cross fingers and reboot hd, else come back live
[22:16] <RealOp> ty ty
[22:17] <ubuntu_> DasEi,  ok.
[22:17] <DasEi> jteguest: jupp
[22:17] <facebook2142> how do i check to see what the execution bits of /etc/rc.local is using a terminal?
[22:17] <jteguest> Just curious how different is it to go from debian to ubuntu or visa-versa in terms of learning new stuff need?
[22:17] <Boreeas> So apparently sun-java6-jdk is no longer in the apt repository. Is there a simple way to install it on a remote server, or do I need to do it via FTP?
[22:18] <L3top> facebook2142: bash -x /etc/rc.local
[22:18] <DasEi> facebook2142: it runs with root permissions
[22:18] <zykotick9> jteguest: ubuntu and debian are both very different and similar.  They have very different goals.
[22:18] <ubuntu_> DasEi,  most likely not comming back at the momment i have a soccer practice to go to but if i see you again lets you know.
[22:18] <ubuntu_> ant thanks for the help.
[22:18] <L3top> I guess I misunderstood
[22:18] <jteguest> ok but interms of if somebody was an expert at ubuntu or debian would he have a learning curve
[22:18] <DasEi> ubuntu_: nice shooting and calm your mind at it, nice idea, good time
[22:19] <jteguest> going from one to the other
[22:19] <jteguest> or do they use the same commands /programs usually
[22:19] <zykotick9> jteguest: much of the knowledge is transferable!  they have similar bases.
[22:20] <jteguest> i.e package managers the same , make , c , bash ,...etc
[22:20] <jteguest> perl
[22:20] <OffGridOps> Is there a different IRC I should ask my question in as it deals with 12.04 or am I in the right area?  Thanx
[22:20] <zykotick9> jteguest: particular versions will be different for sure
[22:21] <digitalslave> jteguest, package mangers are generally the main difference between different linux version
[22:21] <DasEi> OffGridOps: #ubuntu+1
[22:21] <OffGridOps> Thanx!
[22:21] <jteguest> how compatible can I use a debain repo on a unbuntu or a ubuntu repo on a debain ?
[22:21] <zykotick9> jteguest: VERY bad idea
[22:21] <jteguest> why
[22:22] <digitalslave> jteguest, sounds good but dependencies and kernels will show you very quickly it wont work
[22:22] <zykotick9> jteguest: mixing repos is bad management
[22:22] <elijah> Is anyone familiar with ssh_config? I am wondering if you can set the ~/.ssh/config file to not have a host name and just try a certain key whenever any program calls on a certain HostName?
[22:22] <jteguest> won't it all be just dpkg so they would in theory have the same dependencies,code ,...etc and the file structure of debain and other linux distros are the same /home /usr /etc ,...etc
[22:22] <beandog> elijah: should be possible.
[22:23] <beandog> elijah: in fact, I'm kind of curious myself how to do that ... sec
[22:23] <DasEi> elijah: possible /etc/ssh/sshd_config is what you look at for
[22:23] <XGaryG> I just got a WinTV-HVR-950Q TV Tuner. It seems to want to use ATSC, which my current distribution does not seem to handle. Does anyone know if trying Ubuntu would help?
[22:23] <beandog> DasEi:  he's talking about ssh client
[22:24] <beandog> elijah: IdentityFile
[22:24] <beandog> elijah: http://www.kelvinwong.ca/2011/03/30/multiple-ssh-private-keys-identityfile/
[22:24] <pfifo> jteguest, you CAN mix deb packages between debain/ubuntu, BUT it can cause problems.
[22:24] <digitalslave> elijah, use the identity switch
[22:25] <jteguest> do all linux distros on this chart  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Gldt.svg use a version of linux kernel or are there some distros that use other kernels like GNU HURD kernel ,...etc
[22:25] <Jordan_U> !ot | jteguest
[22:25] <XGaryG> Does anyone watch TV on their computer thru a TV Tuner in america?
[22:26] <RealOp>  !unity
[22:26] <zykotick9> XGaryG: does Canada count :p
[22:26] <pepee> I have an amd llano+dGPU laptop. it works fine while using the 6520g, but won't resume if using the dedicated gpu (hd6750m)
[22:26] <KM0201> XGaryG: i have, many moons ago, but don't anymore
[22:26] <XGaryG> Do you know if you used ATSC ?
[22:26] <KM0201> atsc?
[22:26] <naptastic> I can never remember; Ubuntu is primarily based on Debian's Testing repository, right?
[22:27] <zykotick9> XGaryG: isn't that OTA HD?
[22:27] <zykotick9> naptastic: yes, it was sid at one time.
[22:27] <DasEi> XGaryG: nope, but once did in europe with a hauppage, using tvtime, check your card at places like
[22:27] <DasEi> !hcl
[22:27] <naptastic> zykotick9, thank you :-)
[22:28] <Dj_FlyBy> trying to get a list of all hardware installed to the PC. I want to output it to a file for easier reading, hwinfo works in console but is not outputting any information to a file. Any other suggestions
[22:29] <elijah> beandog, DasEi, digitalslave - thanks for all the suggestions, I am looking into and testing them now
[22:29] <beandog> Dj_FlyBy: lshw
[22:29] <XGaryG> It says it is 'ATSC digital TV'.
[22:29] <beandog> elijah: good luck
[22:29] <beandog> elijah: put it under a "Host server.com" entry
[22:30] <ubuntu_> DasEi,  I came back to tell you it didn't work.
[22:30] <mirko1> Dj_FlyBy: simply use IO redirection, ie hwinfo > hwinfo.txt
[22:30] <DasEi> ubuntu_ no soccer then, want to have another try ?
[22:31] <zykotick9> mirko1: i think hwinfo needs sudo doesn't it?  thus redirect would probably require use of tee.
[22:31] <Dj_FlyBy> mirkol: I know that but the file keeps coming up empty
[22:31] <ubuntu_> DasEi, hahahaha. sorry. not now. maybe another time. ihope i bumb into you again soon. bye.
[22:31] <DasEi> alright
[22:31] <pfifo> zykotick9, irrelevant
[22:33] <XGaryG> Great -  It is not on the list. I hate returning something my Wife's windows computer 'Just Works' with. Now I get to endure her 'Mine Works' look.
[22:33] <Aesthenaut> anyone have ? mees running on ubuntu? any tricks you can shoot a
[22:33] <Aesthenaut> or, rather, any tricks you can shoot at me?
[22:34] <pfifo> XGaryG, write a drive for it
[22:34] <mirko1> Dj_FlyBy: works perfectly fine here. what exact command are you using?
[22:34] <DasEi> XGaryG: do a quick usb-install and least try tvtime on it
[22:34] <XGaryG> I'm not up to that sort of thing.
[22:34] <donal> hi all.....I'm trying to add an entry to the crontab that executes a function defined in .profile
[22:34] <donal> is this possible?
[22:35] <DasEi> XGaryG: easy task, usb stick with least 4 gig handy ?
[22:35] <mbeierl> I have just switched ISPs and now I am suddenly getting error messages from Avahi about using .local as a domain (Ubuntu 11.10).  That computer acts as a Masq gateway for my network.  Since this change I can no longer see shared printers/etc in my local network and all the other computers are also complaining about .local domain.  The google-fu is not with me as I can find no resolution to this
[22:35] <zykotick9> donal: i doubt cron is aware of .profile (maybe?)
[22:35] <XGaryG> I tried tvtime. It does not give me the option of using ATSC.  Just NTSC and PAL.
[22:35] <DasEi> ic
[22:35] <beandog> XGaryG: xbmc probably uses atsc
[22:35] <digitalslave> donal, put the function in its own script
[22:35] <XGaryG> I'll look.
[22:35] <beandog> er, wait, do they record video?  If not, mythtv would.
[22:35] <donal> zykotick9: that's what I thought
[22:35] <mbeierl> Why should service discovery care about my ISP?  Can't I prevent it from trying to communicate over the internet and stick to the local network?
[22:36] <elijah> beandog: So rename the private keyfile to "host-server.com" and place it in the /.ssh/ folder?
[22:36] <beandog> mbeierl: I was thinking the exact same thing
[22:36] <beandog> elijah: no, lemme pm you
[22:36] <donal> digitalslave: which user executes cron jobs by default ?
[22:37] <DasEi> XGaryG: quick glance, there are decoders n scanners for mythbuntu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1332986
[22:37] <digitalslave> donal, any user that has a cron file
[22:37] <mbeierl> beandog, but alas, I am not able to get around this.  Avahi is now broken in my network.  And I cannot find a fix or explanation as to how to get around it
[22:37] <DasEi> XGaryG: I never used it, but will probably do with mythtv then
[22:37] <donal> OK, thanks a lot
[22:37] <beandog> mbeierl: you could do what I do ... use .lan instead
[22:37] <digitalslave> donal, the better question is do you need root permission or regular user. if regular just run it under your account
[22:38] <mbeierl> beandog, how?
[22:38] <beandog> mbeierl: er, wait, that isn't what I do actually.
[22:38] <beandog> mbeierl: whats your network configuration?  what's your ISP modem directly plugged into
[22:38] <donal> digitalslave: I guess I could do this . $USER.profile; myFunction
[22:39] <jteguest> well, I am just curious of what all the different GNU distros use for kernels is it all just linux kernel or is there some with totally different kernels. Because I can just come across one other GNU/hurd and It is not in a distro by default at least I haven't found one yet
[22:39] <pfifo> jteguest, linux uses linux, hurd uses hurd, bsd uses bsd... you get the idea?
[22:40] <mbeierl> beandog, ISP modem drives a satellite link (yes, I live rurally).  Ubuntu 11.10 is connected with one iface to the modem, and other serves up the local network.  dnsmasq for local dns caching
[22:40] <beandog> mbeierl: what's hostname return on the ubuntu box
[22:42] <mirko1> jteguest: a linux distro is by definition one that uses the linux kernel. if a system uses hurd or whatever it is not a linux distro. simply. period :-)
[22:43] <mbeierl> hostname: "jemms.homeip.net"
[22:43] <mbeierl> beandog, should it be without the FQDN?  ie: just jemms?
[22:44] <Crooks_mobile> that usually depends on your dns server
[22:44] <mbeierl> Crooks_mobile, if that was for me, I'm running dnsmasq locally, and this is a masq'ing gateway.  Avahi and service discovery are no longer working since a switch in ISP
[22:45] <TheClopener|2> is this the help channel for ubuntu?
[22:45] <beandog> mbeierl: that's ... weird.
[22:45] <penguinlink> yes
[22:45] <TheClopener|2> good...
[22:45] <beandog> mbeierl: I dont know why that would break it
[22:46] <mbeierl> beandog, neither do I :(  This is extremely annoying too now, as my wife's macbook can no longer print
[22:46] <Crooks_mobile> can you set it manually in route?  not sure if thats possible or not
[22:46] <randomDude> where do i put kde4 themes in my home folder? (its not ~/.themes )
[22:46] <TheClopener|2> so, i just now downloaded the newest stable release, and when i boot it up from my jump drive, it will not find a wireless connection. my windows will find it, but not the ubuntu. the saim thing happened when i tryed using tails to get on the wirless network here.. any ideas?
[22:47] <mbeierl> Crooks_mobile, was that intended for me?
[22:47] <Crooks_mobile> mbeier1 yea sorry
[22:48] <mbeierl> Crooks_mobile, the bonjour service on the mac doesn't work that way.  I can't put it into a route as it uses some form of zeroconf to discover where the printers are.
[22:48] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: do you know what wireless device you have?  if not, is the machine still on ubuntu right now?
[22:48] <mirko1> randomDude:  ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/
[22:48] <TheClopener|2> no, i am runjning windows xp
[22:48] <Crooks_mobile> mbeier1 yea this is out of my area of knowledge sorry
[22:48] <TheClopener|2> the wirless device... hmm
[22:48] <TheClopener|2> like the driver that picks it up?
[22:48] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: yeah, it's hard to trouble shoot while youre under windows.. any chance you can wire to a router for a few minutes?
[22:49] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: no, like the chipset on the wireless device
[22:49] <TheClopener|2> one sec.
[22:49] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: nothing under windows is going to help you determine what you need to know
[22:50] <beandog> mbeierl: I'm trying to figure out how they are effecting .local
[22:50] <TheClopener|2> "Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini Card", is that what ur talking about?
[22:50] <beandog> mbeierl: it would make sense ... oh, wait, are they using their DNS servers?  That could do it.
[22:51] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: as i said, nothing under Windows is going to help you with this... although, that's likely a broadcom, just don't know which one
[22:51] <TheClopener|2> crap... well i have no way of hooking ubuntu up to the internet
[22:51] <mrcellfizh> hello, the show desktop icon doesn't work properly
[22:51] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: can you wire yourself to the router for a few minutes?
[22:52] <TheClopener|2> what router?
[22:52] <XGaryG> I installed XBMC, but did not see where I would watch TV from.
[22:52] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: well, i assuming you had a wireless router, so that must mean you're syphoning someone elses connection
[22:52] <mirko1> mrcellfizh:  how does it misbehave, which ubuntu version?
[22:52] <TheClopener|2> yes, im useing the public librarys
[22:52] <TheClopener|2> i got no internet at home
[22:52] <KM0201> XGaryG: xbmc isn't gonna let you watch TV unless you have your TV tuner working
[22:52] <Andy2113> hey guys I'm having an issue trying to bin folder so I can make a file executable from anywhere
[22:52] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: oh ok.
[22:53] <mrcellfizh> 11.04 i click on it sometime but it shows other windows instead of the desktop
[22:53] <mrcellfizh> sometimes*
[22:53] <Andy2113> this is what terminal tells me
[22:53] <Andy2113> cp: cannot create regular file `/bin/extrac-xiso': Permission denied
[22:53] <XGaryG> So far noone has any clue about ATSC. There is nobody from the US trying this tuner?
[22:53] <mbeierl> beandog, sorry - the ISP - yes they provided me with a new set of DNS servers.  and yes, .local seems to resolve using it
[22:53] <TheClopener|2> can i still connec to it?
[22:53] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: you probably can, but we need to figure out your wireless device
[22:54] <facebook2142> thx
[22:54] <beandog> mbeierl: Try overriding their DNS servers with something else.  Like 4.4.4.4 or 8.8.8.8]
[22:54] <TheClopener|2> well, the dell driver is the one i said erlier if thats what your talking about,
[22:54] <TheClopener|2> for picking up wifi
[22:54] <Andy2113> does anyone know why I am getting his? "cp: cannot create regular file `/bin/extract-xiso': Permission denied"
[22:54] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: you're not listening... that information is pretty well irrelevant to Ubuntu
[22:55] <TheClopener|2> crap, well how do i find it out
[22:55] <KM0201> TheClopener|2: can we chat privately? i'll try to help you out
[22:55] <TheClopener|2> sure
[22:55] <mirko1> mrcellfizh: do you use compiz or any other window manager (other than metacity)?
[22:55] <pfifo> Andy2113, you dont have permission to create that file
[22:56] <Andy2113> how do I get permission?
[22:56] <Crooks_mobile> Andy2113 use sudo or switch to root user
[22:56] <digitalslave> Andy2113, sudo
[22:56] <Andy2113> so sudo then the command?
[22:56] <XGaryG> I do have a52dec installed.
[22:56] <digitalslave> Andy2113, yes and then enter your password
[22:58] <Andy2113> thanks guys :)

[23:00] <mbeierl> beandog, i did try 8.8.8.8 and no change :(
[23:00] <Brandan> damn this channel got larger since the last time ive been here (2009)
[23:01] <chazwoza> drecute: not sure specifically for ubuntu, but kerberos is for authentication and/or single sign on
[23:01] <beandog> mbeierl: I dunno, man.  networking issues escape me.
[23:01] <digitalslave> drecute, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742516.aspx
[23:01] <chazwoza> drecute: im assuming it lets you authenticate to ubuntu using your AD account
[23:01] <drecute> chazwoza: thanks
[23:01] <mbeierl> beandog, thanks.  This is the most info I've gotten so far.  I did see about the .local and DNS, but it still makes no sense.  8.8.8.8 also allows .local to be resolved
[23:01] <drecute> chazwoza: so in this case do I need a kerberos client or server?
[23:02] <beandog> mbeierl: how are you doing lookups for .local hostnames?
[23:02] <beandog> mbeierl: oh you know what? t he avahi cli tools will tell you which servers it's doing lookup on
[23:02] <mirko1> mrcellfizh: then i don't know. sorry, hopefully somebody elde will jump in
[23:02] <pfifo> mbeierl, what was your original issue?
[23:03] <beandog> mbeierl: also have you tried bonjour browser on osx ? (you'll have to download it)
[23:03] <pepee> I have an amd llano+dGPU laptop. it works fine while using the 6520g, but won't resume if using the dedicated gpu (hd6750m) . how can I fix it?
[23:03] <mrcellfizh> mirkol: np
[23:05] <drecute> Digitalslave: from that reference, does that mean windows active directory is a kerberos server?
[23:05] <drecute> then I can go ahead and configure a kerberos client on ubuntu?
[23:06] <digitalslave> drecute, generally
[23:06] <TheEmpath> hi, what does this mean: Depends: gcc-4.4-base (= 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) but 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1 is to be installed
[23:07] <drecute> phew!
[23:07] <TheEmpath> i get it when i try to apt-get install mongo
[23:07] <drecute> 2 days of trying to understand basic understanding
[23:07] <digitalslave> drecute, :D
[23:08] <sonuunos> foo
[23:08] <auihgfiuoahon> 7uu
[23:08] <drecute> digitalslave: I guess I really don't need to setup kerberos for samba?
[23:09] <drecute> I will setup kerberos for samba only is i'm implementing kerberos server on ubuntu?
[23:09] <digitalslave> drecute, are you using an active directory logon to access the samba server or a linux account or even guest?
[23:09] <TheEmpath> how can a package be slated as "to be installed"?
[23:09] <Liquido_> hi
[23:09] <Liquido_> I got 3 same processes and I need to kill the the one which was started first, how I can identify which one of them is the most oldest ?
[23:10] <drecute> digitalslave: active directory logon
[23:10] <mirko1> TheEmpath: it means that some package requries exactly the  4.4.3-4ubuntu5 verson of gcc but the currently available version is 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1. What exatcly are you doing?
[23:10] <TheEmpath> mirko1: I got a cloud server of ubuntu running... and i had no proble building all of the gcc toolchain myself on another instance.. but this one is giving me nothing but problems
[23:11] <TheEmpath> im trying to install mongo and its griping about gcc problems, but i have no idea how to fix it.  i've run aptitude safe-upgrade, apt-get update... nothing works
[23:11] <digitalslave> drecute, you may want to use likewise open to setup your active directory connection
[23:12] <digitalslave> drecute, http://www.beyondtrust.com/Products/PowerBroker-Identity-Services-Open-Edition/
[23:12] <mbeierl> beandog, gotta go afk.  but this is what I'm using to do the .local lookup: host -t SOA local
[23:14] <dageriv> the finger command outputs something it calls "idle time", when is a user idle from a terminal?
[23:14] <mirko1> TheEmpath: MongoDB? Any specific reason why you don't install from the available repos? why did you " building all of the gcc toolchain myself"?
[23:15] <TheEmpath> mikro1: that was for another instance and it worked fine.  this is a new instance.  I am running apt-get install mongodb-10gen, and its telling me there is an unmet dep, and that a newer version of gcc is to be installed
[23:15] <TheEmpath> which is all good and well that its telling me that, in sometime in the future, it will be installed.  i would just like to rush that along and install those now :D
[23:17] <Dragin_> how do I remove an entire directory with stuff still in it?
[23:17] <zykotick9> Dragin_: "rm -r directory/"
[23:17] <bobo37773> Dragin_: From the command line?
[23:18] <Dragin_> thanks zykotick9, and yes bobo37773
[23:18] <mirko1> TheEmpath: any PPA's installed?
[23:18] <TheEmpath> deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit dist 10gen
[23:21] <mirko1> TheEmpath: disable it, install the one from the "default" universe repo, then re-add the repo and try again
[23:23] <mirko1> TheEmpath:  oh, wait, you might have the wrong repo. try this one: deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen
[23:23] <TheEmpath> k
[23:25] <TheEmpath> mirko1: same problem
[23:26] <Dj_FlyBy> hmmm, need something a little more friendly than hwinfo (can't make sense of the file as to what hardware is what..... ie. which one is my video card and which one is my tuner card, etc). Any suggestions?
[23:27] <tyler_d> Dj_FlyBy: hwinfo --video
[23:27] <zykotick9> Dj_FlyBy: "lspci | grep -i vga"
[23:28] <Dj_FlyBy> that was just an example....
[23:28] <pfifo> Dj_FlyBy, try `lspci` to get a basic overview first
[23:28] <leshaste> how do you tell if you are running unity 2d or 3d?
[23:29] <TheEmpath> mirko1: now sudo apt-get upgrade is giving me the exact same error
[23:29] <TheEmpath> jesus christ, what the hell happened... im just going to burn this instance down and start over
[23:29] <tyler_d> leshaste: try running a 3d app
[23:29] <zykotick9> Dj_FlyBy: well "lspci" or "lspci -vnvn" shows a lot of h/w info.  "cat /proc/cpuinfo" for cpu stuff...
[23:29] <leshaste> tyler_d, for exampkle?
[23:30] <tyler_d> TheEmpath: what is the specific error
[23:30] <TheEmpath>  gcc-4.4: Depends: gcc-4.4-base (= 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) but 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1 is installed
[23:30] <wyrm111> .
[23:30] <tyler_d> TheEmpath: have you tried `strace <<your command>>` to see the output and if its more comprehensive?
[23:31] <tyler_d> leshaste: glxgears
[23:31] <TheEmpath> tyler_d: its faster for me to burn this instance down and spin up a new one.. apparently, i screwed up somewhere badly, so im just going to do a fresh build and go again
[23:31] <tyler_d> TheEmpath: gl with that then.
[23:31] <TheEmpath> tyler_d: I dont want this coming back to haunt me later on down the road because i didn't know how to debug it properly
[23:31] <zykotick9> leshaste: "glxinfo" might also help
[23:32] <leshaste> tyler_d, hmm.. well it rnus
[23:32] <tyler_d> TheEmpath: learning and properly debugging is par for the course and should be taken with patience and dilligence
[23:32] <leshaste> tyler_d, but does that tell me I am in unity 2d?
[23:32] <tyler_d> TheEmpath: what exactly are you compiling/installing and what is the error please
[23:32] <leshaste> tyler_d, or is there some of other 2d desktop I should be using
[23:32] <tyler_d> leshaste: take zykotick9's advice... glxinfo
[23:33] <TheEmpath> tyler_d: indeed, and i do not have the time at this point.  i've setup mongo on like 15 ubuntu machiens no problem.. this one is giving me issues, so i'll just burn it to the ground and follow my previous steps
[23:33] <leshaste> zykotick9, what am I looknig for in the output?
[23:33] <tyler_d> leshaste: you could always just use the default gnome
[23:33] <leshaste> tyler_d, how?
[23:33] <zykotick9> leshaste: to know if it's unity 2d or 3d isn't really in glxinfo :|  i don't know how to tell, sorry.
[23:33] <leshaste> zykotick9, ok
[23:34] <tyler_d> leshaste: I personaly haven't reverted back to the default gnome... I'm sure the path for that could be followed in here by someone though
[23:34] <zykotick9> leshaste: what do you select at the login window?
[23:34] <leshaste> zykotick9, I just type in my password
[23:34] <leshaste> let me trying logging out
[23:35] <zykotick9> leshaste: there is some way to change your DE/WM, so that should also be able to say what you're currently using
[23:35]  * zykotick9 has never actually used lightdm, but assumes ;)
[23:36] <tyler_d> TheEmpath: I don't honestly know how or what you could have borqued if you have done it other times.... I don't agree with your path to resolution... but if you feel that's best then I wish you luck sir
[23:37] <TheEmpath> tyler_d: I dunno what I busted up either... i may have tried to mix and match deps, versions, or even over write binutils.. who knows... i was trying an experimental way to setup ubuntu and it didn't work, so I'll just scrap it and stick with what works.  I do appreciate the help, none the less :D
[23:37] <UbuntuBoy> Hey. xD
[23:38] <UbuntuBoy> Does anyone has Second Life on his box, if so... Can you play it normally?
[23:38] <tyler_d> TheEmpath: for sure, I don't know a lot but glad to stick my nose in any time :)
[23:39] <tyler_d> UbuntuBoy: had it once upon a time, ran it from a terminal...
[23:39] <UbuntuBoy> And it worked?
[23:39] <UbuntuBoy> I mean it works for me too, but its uber slow...
[23:39] <tyler_d> UbuntuBoy: long time ago but yes
[23:40] <UbuntuBoy> And my PC isn't really bad. Sooo... I'm kind of confused.
[23:40] <UbuntuBoy> Huh...
[23:40] <UbuntuBoy> It must be this new version then.
[23:40] <DarkAngel> I can not get sound on my Toshiba A3-S611 laptop with unbuntu 11.10 any ideas on a fix.
[23:40] <tyler_d> UbuntuBoy: ummm... video card? what does top say when it runs?
[23:41] <UbuntuBoy> I can run Guild Wars without problem, so I don't really think its about hardware.
[23:41] <UbuntuBoy> Its the new version of SL, for sure.
[23:41] <UbuntuBoy> Thanks anyway @tyler_d.
[23:41] <tyler_d> UbuntuBoy: well thats a start for sure, but in no way definative... check top while it runs and see
[23:42] <tyler_d> UbuntuBoy: yqw
[23:42] <DarkAngel> tyler_d do you have any idea why I do not have sound on my laptop with 11,10
[23:42] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: alsa drivers?
[23:43] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: when is the last time it made noise? what kind of video card is it plz
[23:43] <DarkAngel> I got it from a friend of mine and it had windows XP on it. I can't remember if it made noise then or not
[23:44] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: does it show the icon for sound in the panel?
[23:44] <DarkAngel> Yes it does
[23:44] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: does it play the startup sound even?
[23:45] <DarkAngel> No it does not play any sounds at all
[23:45] <hey^_^you> anyone else using irssi client, this is my first time
[23:45] <hey^_^you> hello
[23:45] <twirm> @hey^_^you smuxi is better
[23:45] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: is there anything on the keyboard to indicate sound? does pushing the sound up/down on the keyboard produce the icon indicating up/down in the top right?
[23:46] <Quantum_Ion> sometimes those sound icons disappear and reappear in ubuntu linux
[23:46] <Quantum_Ion> on the top bar
[23:47] <DarkAngel> I don't see any keyboard keys that make the sound go up and down.. the icon is there but nothing is coming out of the speakers
[23:48] <bkerensa> Any suggestions for trying to troubleshoot a bluetooth headset that pairs fine but doesnt show up in sound settings?
[23:48] <_Marcus> DarkAngel: Is there drivers needed possibly?
[23:48] <digitalslave> DarkAngel, have you tried the alsa mixer?
[23:49] <DarkAngel> digitalslave I like your name.. I tried the alsa mixer and set everything that was mute to on and moved the volume up
[23:50] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: you could also try alsamixer from a terminal
[23:50] <DarkAngel> Still got no sound. I did get a little lost when they were talking about loading drivers.
[23:50] <DarkAngel> I did but still nothing unless I did something wrong
[23:50] <digitalslave> DarkAngel, do you know what sound chipset/card you have?
[23:50] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: `lspci | less` and search for the audio in there
[23:51] <tyler_d> DarkAngel: based on the name, I would say digitalslave knows more than I on this... so follow him plz :)
[23:51] <zykotick9> twirm: hey^_^you i've never tried smuxi (i'll check it out) BUT, #debian's irssi factoid starts "rumour has it, irssi is the best <IRC> client ever."
[23:52] <DarkAngel> Intel ICH6 Family AC'97
[23:53] <zykotick9> twirm: lol, smuxi - graphical IRC client, GUI can't run that in screen - can't possibly be better ;)
[23:53] <digitalslave> DarkAngel, did this recently stop working or never worked?
[23:54] <TheEmpath> yeah, that worked lol
[23:54] <DarkAngel> I got the laptop from a friend and he claims it worked but I am starting to think it didn't work at all He had windows xp loaded on it and I put ubuntu on it right away
[23:55] <twirm> @zykotick9 why not just use emacs then?
[23:55] <DarkAngel> @digitalslave it shows the card but I can't get any sound at all
[23:55] <digitalslave> DarkAngel, some good info here http://askubuntu.com/questions/87515/no-sound-after-upgrade-to-11-10
[23:56] <zykotick9> twirm: emacs.. i've always been a vi guy, but recently i've seen what people can do with emacs - it's impressive.  but i don't need another OS to run on top of gnu/linux :p
[23:56] <digitalslave> DarkAngel, that chipset should work. i had some issues with mine doing surround sound after the last update but it works now
[23:57] <twirm> @zykotick9 I guess that's fair, I spend most of my time in a text editor so having a terminal emulator in my text editor is way nicer than having it anywhere else
[23:57] <nmittal_> is it possible to draw on a buffer rather than canvas.. and then copy the buffer to the canvas?
[23:57] <zykotick9> twirm: that's what screen is for ;)
[23:58] <mirko1> TheEmpath: just curious. *what* worked?
[23:58] <twirm> @zykotick9 customization ftw, that's way linux will always be best :)
[23:58] <DarkAngel> @digitalslave do you think it is a bad sound card?
[23:58] <zykotick9> twirm: to see most of my cli programs check out https://plus.google.com/_/notifications/emlink?emrecipient=115403891429547707849&emid=CPjAn8SPlq8CFSJyNAodGG0AAA&path=%2Fcircles%2Ffind&reexp=EXP_6&dt=13333681

[23:58] <Crazydan> sup guys
[23:58] <OrangeAngel> Hi.
[23:58] <Crazydan> lil help
[23:59] <digitalslave> DarkAngel, cant say for sure. you could boot with a live disk and see if it works there as well
[23:59] <twirm> @Crazydan what's going on?
[23:59] <Crazydan> : dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[23:59] <Crazydan> E: Couldn't rebuild package cache
[23:59] <Crazydan> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[23:59] <philip__> hello guys. I dual boot ubuntu and avl 3.0.5 each on a separate hard disk. the grup menu on startup currently shows only avl. How would i go to add the other hard disk too?
