[00:00] <met12327> Greetings, one and all. Someone please tell me the correct incantation to move a file from ~root to ~($USER), please. Many thanks.
[00:01] <Monotoko> gadien, I've just been informed that approach may not work... but if not, just edit: /etc/default/grub and set the default OS in there
[00:02] <scialex> met12327: cp ~root/<file> $HOME/<dest>; sudo chown $USER <file at dest>
[00:02] <Monotoko> (then run update-grub)
[00:02] <bartek> Hi there. Is the "Alternate CD" listed here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/ -- What I should use if I have a server installation too? If I download the serer cd, it just fails to do the upgrade, I just don't want to be upgrading to a desktop version
[00:02] <met12327> scialex, I've tried that several times. Epic fail every time.
[00:03] <scialex> met12327: sorry forgot the first sudo. it should be -> sudo cp ~root/<file> $HOME/<dest>; sudo chown $USER <file at dest>
[00:03] <met12327> Ah. So I don't have to CD to ~root to make it work, then.
[00:04] <Ogredude> this is weird. Server 11.10, we just replaced the video card in it and now the box boots and appears to work just fine, but the console is stuck at "Magic Number" in the dmesg scroll
[00:04] <scialex> met12327: no but you must be root (hence the sudo) to do anything in /root and to copy anything in it.
[00:04] <Ogredude> alt+f1, f2, etc doesn't pull up the other consoles, numlock light goes on and off but I can't get it to otherwise respond at the console
[00:04] <Ogredude> but the system is working fine
[00:04] <gadien> @Monotoko: fyi, startup manager is no longer being maintained.. use grub customizer instead
[00:04] <Ogredude> apparently, anyway
[00:04] <met12327> That's where I was getting it wrong. Thanks much, Scialex.
[00:05] <Monotoko> gadien, thank you! I'm a bit of an old timer ;)
[00:05] <wylde> !nomodeset | Ogredude
[00:05] <scialex> met12327: :)
[00:05] <Ogredude> wylde: ok that should do it, thanks muchly!
[00:06] <gadien> @Monotoko no probs, we're all here to help each other right :)
[00:07] <Edler> guys
[00:07] <Edler> question
[00:07] <Yadira-007> can i get system monitor on panel on 12.4 im using gnome-sell clasicc view
[00:07] <Edler> what's the disadvantage today of installing 11.04 rather than 10.04LTS ?
[00:07] <Yadira-007> Edler, is none
[00:07] <Yadira-007> 10,4 has more support
[00:08] <Edler> ah okay
[00:08] <Edler> i just fucken want to install php
[00:08] <Edler> but a version later than 5.3.2
[00:08] <scialex> edler: 11.04 is not an lts release, it goes off support very soon. also 10.04 has gnome2. If you are thinking about 11.04 just go with 11.10 instead.
[00:08] <Yadira-007> 10.4  i recomend 12.4
[00:08] <bastidrazor> Edler: 12.04 comes out in a few weeks. that may be the best option
[00:08] <scialex> edler: you could always just compile it from sorce, most recent version that way.
[00:09] <Yadira-007> if i have beta and the final comes out,,dos mine update to final vertion
[00:09] <scialex> Yadira-007: yes
[00:09] <Yadira-007> i want to know if i can get the system monitor applet on panel
[00:10] <Yadira-007> im on 12.4
[00:10] <Yadira-007> i can see the workplace switcher
[00:10] <wylde> !precise | Yadira-007
[00:10] <Edler> is compiling php from source the same process as letting apt-get install php5 do it ?
[00:10] <born2troll> someone know how the opengl developemen libary is called?
[00:10] <scialex> edler: no it is not.
[00:11] <Ogredude> wylde: I never knew linux did anything with video drivers before X started, and since this is a commandline only install, I didn't think it'd matter a bit swapping the video card out for one with a working fan :)
[00:11] <Edler> scialex: will i have to manually copy compiled stuff to folders ?
[00:12] <wylde> Ogredude: heh yep, it's the way the newer systems load. Everyone wants it to be pretty and the regular text mode doesn't give nice high res :)
[00:13] <scialex> edler: what you need to do is 1) find the most recent version of php as a tar-ball (it's probably on their website). 2) install any dependencies (apt-get build-deps php should probably work but read the INSTALL and README files) 3) build and install it. (This is probably just ./configure; make; make install; but read the INSTALL and README files, they might use a different system).
[00:13] <monotoko_> scialex, he doesn't even need to do that... there are plenty of repos out there which contain php 5.4
[00:13] <Ogredude> wylde: well, I'm still of the opinion that linux belongs in the rack, not on the desktop, so I have no use for splashy splash screens and crap :)
[00:14] <prstyo> hello
[00:14] <helpme> how I can set SFTP on proftpd with virtual users auth?
[00:14] <scialex> monotoko_: he said bleeding edge; thats source compile (at least for me)
[00:15] <Monotoko> scialex, ahh... he said he was just after 5.3.3 and above earlier
[00:15] <Ogredude> wylde: anyway, adding nomodeset to the grub args solved the problem nicely, thanks so much
[00:15] <Monotoko> sorry, I missed a bit.. my internet died :)
[00:15] <wylde> Ogredude: glad to help :)
[00:15] <prstyo> can speak bahasa?
[00:15] <rhizmoe> is there a (common) way to save a list of installed packages for ease of reinstall on a fresh box?
[00:16] <Ogredude> *sigh*
[00:16] <wylde> rhizmoe: I believe 'dpkg -l >> installed-packagaes.txt' would do the job.
[00:16] <wylde> *packages
[00:17] <Ogredude> now I have to teach my IT n00b the difference between the 192.168.1.x and 192.168.0.x subnets.
[00:18] <Monotoko> Ogredude, sounds like fun... you should hire someone who knows what they are doing ;)
[00:18] <Ogredude> nah it's more fun to train n00bs
[00:19] <Ogredude> that way you can mold them however you want
[00:19] <urbancommando> plus cheaper
[00:19] <Monotoko> Ogredude, ahhh true... better than my line of work, my boss has put in charge of a team of indians 4000 miles away ._.
[00:19] <Ogredude> Earlier today, I had to teach him why it is a Bad Idea to connect the two Catalyst switches by plugging them both into the CenturyLink Xytel modem, instead of just making a crossover cable
[00:20] <scialex> edler: those instructions above should install php to /usr/local/. this should probably be fine for most things as /usr/local/bin is in your path. If, for some reason, you really need it where the normal php is then run ./configure --prefix=/usr;make; make install;
[00:20] <Ogredude> and then I had to teach him why it was *completely unnecessary* to have a dedicated line to the IT desk for each management port on each switch
[00:20] <gadien> monotoko, it seems they are wrong and startup manager is the one to use, it's just not being maintained. and grub customiser isn't available in ubuntu software centre
[00:20] <urbancommando> you guys dont buy the crossover cables?
[00:21] <scialex> elder: oh i forgot to mention the 'make install' command must be run as root with sudo. :)
[00:21] <Ogredude> nah, we don't need them often enough, when we do it's easy enough to clip the end off a patch cable, rearrange wires, and replace the end.
[00:21] <Monotoko> gadien, so startup manager works?
[00:21] <urbancommando> been trying to get gms3 on my ubuntu... failed
[00:21] <Ogredude> and actually making patch cables is a pretty damn good excersise for n00bs
[00:21] <gadien> monotoko i have no idea yet, we'll see
[00:21] <test> hi, How do I install wine? it says in the ubuntu software center that it isn't available for this type of computer. weird.
[00:22] <Monotoko> gadien, I'd just edit /etc/default/grub ;)
[00:22] <urbancommando> its fun when you start making them.. lol
[00:22] <urbancommando> for the few couple times
[00:22] <Fyodorovna> Monotoko, startup manager will not default kernel updates do not use it.
[00:22] <gadien> monotoko I didn't know where to look for the file
[00:23] <gadien> till now
[00:23] <Monotoko> Fyodorovna, even just to set Windows as his default boot?
[00:23] <test> sorry, 'wine 1.2' is not available for this type of computer. wth?
[00:23] <urbancommando> Ogredude do you get to work remote or are you onsite ?
[00:24] <Fyodorovna> Monotoko, if ubuntu gets a kernel upgrade the manager will not follow it.
[00:25] <gadien> can someone plz tell me the shortcut to fill in someones name here
[00:25] <tbruff13> can someone help me how can i test to see if my audio jack earphone works in kubuntu 11.10
[00:26] <Monotoko> gadien, it depends on the client you use
[00:26] <gadien> chatzilla
[00:26] <Monotoko> usually you just type the first few characters and press shift
[00:26] <Monotoko> *tab
[00:27] <test> can I get some help please, it's saying that wine isn't available for this type of computer. Is there a work around?
[00:27] <gadien> Monotoko: thanks, that worked that time.. i did it before but i obviously wasn't doing it right
[00:27] <urbancommando> thruff13 give this a try. This is for ubuntu but..im sure it the same.  In terminal type alsamixer, toggle to the headphones and type m
[00:27] <test> it's saying that on my other pc as well.
[00:27] <Monotoko> right, I'm gonna go AFK for a bit... see you all later :)
[00:28] <urbancommando> that will enable the headphone jack autosense
[00:28] <larcc> test: what is your computer?
[00:29] <Ogredude> urbancommando: onsite
[00:29] <phil_fl> test: are you sure you are selecting the right architecture like clicking on a i386 instead of x86_64
[00:30] <Ogredude> we're reworking the server room to fit our new renderfarm
[00:30] <urbancommando> might need cheese installed first lol jking.
[00:30] <test> there are only 2 to select from and both says the same thing.
[00:31] <urbancommando> ouch are you guys pulling an all nighter ?
[00:31] <test> I'm running ubuntu on Dell studio laptop
[00:31] <Ogredude> nah, I'm almost done
[00:31] <Ogredude> got to bring up the FreeNAS, which is being a bitch, and then done for the day
[00:31] <phil_fl> test: Might be difficult without seeing the arch and the selection one way to do it would be to install it with: sudo apt-get install wine
[00:31] <born2troll> guys in which package is the opengl library for developement (like compileing wine) ?
[00:31] <Ogredude> we've got 2 rendernodes in place, we'll image the rest of them over the next couple days and slot them in as they're complete
[00:31] <tbruff13> urbancommando, i did what you asked how do i test it
[00:32] <Ogredude> this rework went really easy
[00:32] <urbancommando> thruff13, I assume the only way to test it is to put a headphone in the jack ?
[00:32] <test> ok phil_fl, I'll try it that way, thank you.
[00:32] <Ogredude> one of our neighbors is a concrete contractor, I moved his 2 non-networked desktop PCs to his new office for him, and he anchored our rack to the floor for us
[00:32] <Jordan_U> born2troll: Why do you want to compile wine from source?
[00:33] <urbancommando> nice
[00:33] <phil_fl> test: I believe the incompatibility is due to the wrong architecture installing a x86 on i386 vice versa
[00:33] <urbancommando> ours are anchored to the floor and ceiling
[00:34] <Ogredude> when we pulled cable in here, we didn't have a labeller, so today we mapped and labelled all the wall jacks
[00:34] <urbancommando> lol
[00:34] <Ogredude> moved the patch panel to the top of the rack, the switch under it, and popped a second switch under that
[00:34] <Ogredude> we decided to go Stargate on the naming scheme...  One switch is "Milky Way", the other is "Pegasus"...  and the crossover cable has been labeled "Midway"
[00:35] <urbancommando> dont tell me you took advantage of the noob for the labeling job?
[00:35] <test> looks like it's going to work through the terminal, nice!
[00:36] <Ogredude> yeah I had him run the toner while I loafed by the rack and poked at it with the probe
[00:36] <gadien> Ok, another Q: I installed gnome desktop in charge of unity (because i think it's BS) but what i want to know
[00:36] <gadien> is how do I change the side that the close/minimise/maximise buttons are on?
[00:36] <Ogredude> I taught him how to get Cisco management console through any available wall port :)
[00:36] <test> I need a good work at home income, any ideals?
[00:36] <dmogle> gadien: Choose a theme that has the buttons on the side you want
[00:37] <urbancommando> gadien or you can use gnome-tweaks
[00:37] <gadien> dmogle: thanks
[00:37] <phil_fl> test: cool brace yourself I think wine is requiring something like 150 packages
[00:38] <bibic682> hello.. any tricks to speeding up flash player in firefox.....10.10... athlon64 socket 754...ati radeon 9800 pro.... 2g ddr
[00:38] <test> yeah it says 6 mins
[00:40] <philip__> bibic682, do you have many addons installed?
[00:40] <Ogredude> alright folks, it looks like the ubuntu box is ready to go, thanks for the help wylde, and the FreeNAS has pulled its head out of its a**
[00:40] <scialex> bibic682: More RAM (and ddr3) would probably help
[00:41] <Ogredude> it's bong-thirty now.
[00:41] <Ogredude> see ya folks
[00:41] <phil_fl> bibic682, you could try to change browser.sessionstore.interval
[00:42] <urbancommando> bye
[00:42] <phil_fl> bibic682, check what it is now
[00:42] <bibic682> philip_   flashblock...user agent  firefox mod
[00:43] <bibic682> how do I check
[00:43] <phil_fl> bibic682, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.interval default is 10000 mine works fine at 50000
[00:44] <scialex> bibic682: forget what I said, thought that it was a 64 bit processor. go with Phil_fl
[00:44] <phil_fl> bibic682, type about:config in the url
[00:45] <bibic682> ok
[00:46] <haux> Can anybody tell me where Awn stores its configuration files? I know there is a /home/user/.config/awn directory, but it doesn't contain any configs.
[00:46] <phil_fl> bibic682, then search for  browser.sessionstore.interval
[00:47] <phil_fl> bibic682, I mean browser.sessionstore.interval
[00:48] <phil_fl> bibic682, and up the value ( a little bit) and then restart your browser
[00:48] <bibic682> set 15000
[00:48] <moes> Which Java for firefox-11.0
[00:48] <philip__> bibic682, i think phil_fl got you covered. just bare in mind at least based upon my experience, mozilla runs fast on first start with out anything upon it. And fglrx slows it down also if, you're using ati gpu.
[00:49] <FernandoCueva> who can help me increase size and performance with my laptop
[00:50] <phil_fl> bibic682, you can safely put 25000
[00:50] <tkeith> I apt-get installed python-django-doc, which automatically installed libpython2.6, python2.6, and python2.6-minimal. I then apt-get removed python-django-doc, and then ran apt-get autoremove. This removed libpython2.6, but not python2.6 or python2.6-minimal. Why aren't these other dependencies autoremoved?
[00:50] <phil_fl> bibic682, restart your browser to take effect and it might be a bit faster try and let us know
[00:51] <bibic682> i will try that...thanks.....most youtube vids run fine even 720hd....but some are slow
[00:51] <gadien> where can i get theme's for gnome (11.10) one that puts the close box and stuff on the right side
[00:52] <danny> any way to turn hdmi output to input with ubuntu i would like to use my computer screen to play my 360
[00:52] <test> ok I need help with wine, I have package configuration screen in the terminal and I can't click the <ok> or anything, so what do I do?
[00:52] <phil_fl> bibic682, that's the nature of the best :-)
[00:52] <haux> Can anybody tell me where Awn stores its configuration files? I know there is a /home/user/.config/awn directory, but it doesn't contain any configs.
[00:52] <scialex> haux: awn stores its config information in GConf (at least on 10.04, it might be in DConf in newwer versions) try installing and running gconf-editor to get a good gui tool to edit the config. You'll find it under Apps. (I think that DConf-editor is the dconf version of gconf-editor but i am not sure and anyway they might still be using GConf so start with that)
[00:52] <haux> scialex, excellent. I will try that. Thank you
[00:52] <gadien> i've looked through the display properties, but those themes just change the colour
[00:53] <scialex> haux: beware messing around in there though. it is easy to really screw stuff up.
[00:54] <Dogears> How do I execute vboxdrv setup?
[00:54] <philip__> bibic682, i use mplayer, umplayer as a front, to watch youtube. I found it to be the best recipe for me, simply because firefox uses too much resources.
[00:54] <urbancommando> great secret top spy satellite launched today...
[00:55] <haux> scialex, is there a way to backup all of the configuration files?
[00:55] <haux> scialex, so I don't have to remake the panel after a reinstall
[00:56] <bibic682> philip_  I recently discovered minitube for ubuntu and it plays youtube vids without flash at all and I can play hd vids smooth
[00:57] <philip__> bibic682, that's exactly my point.
[00:57] <scialex> haux: all the backend stuff is stored in the ~/.gconf folders form the path. you could try copying those. Be warned however gconf does not like it if you modify its files without going through it...
[00:59] <bibic682> philip_  my same system in windows uses 65% resources rendering flash....ubuntu 80-90%
[01:00] <Vert> Is there  a simple way to temporarily turn off the touchpad?
[01:01] <philip__> guys please help me. how can i test this build. meaning attaching the driver. again, it's for avlinux, but the recipe belongs to ubuntu. just have a look. http://pastebin.com/ufYE1W9D
[01:04] <angs> I runa webserver on ubuntu 10.04. how can I increase the security of the ubuntu without effecting the webservice?
[01:07] <bastidrazor> angs: those in #ubuntu-server might have a few answers.
[01:07] <neo31> angs I think you can configure a firewall (iptables) to block all unneeded ports. use some parameters to harden your system. you can also use an IDS/IPS such as snort or suricata. futher webserver improvements can be made (I guess you are using apache)
[01:08] <TrD> use an application layer firewall angs
[01:09] <angs> yes I installed apache http server
[01:09] <scialex> angs: I would also suggest you install and use fail2ban. its an intrusion detection system.
[01:09] <angs> do you recommend any program to block unneeded ports and performs as application layer firewall?
[01:10] <wylde> !ufw | angs
[01:10] <JoseeAntonioR> Hello! Do you know how to kill the flash player? It is pretty slow.
[01:11] <TrD> angs:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/leopardflower/
[01:11] <angs> thank you very much for the all answers
[01:11] <Dogears> Hi! Can anyone advise how I execute '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root
[01:12] <TrD> angs:  Leopard is like Zonealarm on Win
[01:12] <craigbass1976> Dogears, sudo?  If that doesn't work, and someone yell if I'm wrong, I've found it easier to just give root a password sometimes to get something done like this
[01:12] <angs> cool thanks a lot
[01:12] <Jordan_U> TrD: angs: Installing a third party, Beta, application is not a good way to increase security or stability.
[01:13] <sunboy> Hi
[01:13] <angs> hmmm then gufw should be better for me, right?
[01:13] <Jordan_U> angs: Correct.
[01:13] <wylde> craigbass1976: setting root password is not advised or supported here.
[01:13] <bastidrazor> craigbass1976: 'sudo -i' will give you a root prompt. much safer than setting a root password.
[01:13] <craigbass1976> wylde, I figured.
[01:14] <angs> thanks a lot
[01:14] <craigbass1976> bastidrazor, I can't believe I never knew that...
[01:14] <TrD> it's not beta version Jordan_U
[01:14] <Dogears> craigbass1976: Sudo is OK but I can't seem to be able to run "vboxdrv setup"
[01:14] <wylde> !root
[01:14] <craigbass1976> Dogears, did you catch that?  sudo -i
[01:14] <TrD> and second i'ts the unique app-layer firewall for Ubuntu
[01:15] <urbancommando> Dogears try sudo bash /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[01:15] <Dogears> Thanks
[01:15] <urbancommando> np
[01:15] <sunboy> Hi
[01:15] <Jordan_U> TrD: There is a beta label next to the name at http://sourceforge.net/projects/leopardflower/ , that and the fact that it's not in the official repositories is what made me think it was still in beta.
[01:16] <sunboy> Having a problem setting up LAMP in 11.10. Something's screwed up and can't get a clean install
[01:16] <pastillegirl> hello, i'm running an omg ancient ubuntu release (6.06 Dapper Drake) do you know of a work around for FF Flash player problem? i really don't want to upgrade tonight lol .. thanks
[01:16] <Dogears> craigbass1976:
[01:16] <craigbass1976> meh?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> pastillegirl: We don't support EOL releases here beyond helping to upgrade to a supported version.
[01:17] <TrD> im wrong jordan, thanks for your attention ;)
[01:17] <TrD> im wrong Jordan_U, thanks for your attention ;)
[01:17] <pastillegirl> cool, worth a shot at least.. thanks
[01:17] <Dogears> craigbass1976: Bash did the trick thanks
[01:17] <Jordan_U> TrD: You're welcome :)
[01:17] <TrD> :)
[01:17] <Dogears> urbancommando: Thanks
[01:17] <pastillegirl> ;0
[01:18] <philip__> if i'm not mistaken, root password is disabled by default i ubuntu. so if someone needs to grant more sufficient power than sudo, needs to use sudo -i? like craigbass1976 suggested.
[01:18] <wylde> philip__: correct
[01:19] <urbancommando> Dogears Np
[01:19] <craigbass1976> philip__, wasn't my idea.  bastidrazor just taught me.  Now I'm hunting around for somethign to try it our with that I used to think required actually being root
[01:19] <philip__> wylde, thank you. :P
[01:20] <craigbass1976> Dogears, so, you should be able to sudo -i , type a pass, then be at a root prompt.
[01:20] <harsh343> hello
[01:20] <philip__> craigbass1976, we all learning by someone else. the use of that knowledge is what matters, i think.
[01:21] <wylde> craigbass1976: yep, and either use 'exit' to get back to your user, or 'ctrl+D'
[01:21] <Dogears> I don't think anyone know how invaluable this channel is. You guys make life much less stressful. Thanks for being here.
[01:22] <philip__> Oh yes exit! otherwise it could led to a crash, at least that happens on debian.
[01:22] <craigbass1976> wylde, I've been using ubuntu since dapper and never knew this...
[01:23] <Dr_willis> never knew about sudo -i ?
[01:23] <philip__> Dogears, those who chose to be here should know, :)
[01:24] <thestormsedge> hello all
[01:24] <craigbass1976> Dr_willis, no, never,  I'm ashamed
[01:24] <Dr_willis> heh- its mentioned in here about once a day at least.
[01:24] <craigbass1976> Dr_willis, I came off fedora, so I was used to being root.  It must always get mentioned after I leave.
[01:25] <wylde> craigbass1976:  half the time if I have a question I can grep the logs I keep from here and get sorted out lol. ;)
[01:25] <thestormsedge> this is my first time on the #ubuntu IRC channel, I've never really figured out how to connect to it before :P
[01:26] <Dr_willis> the sudo homepage has some other neat info on what sudo can do.
[01:26] <sunboy> Anyone have any ideas about how to reinstall LAMP in 11.10?
[01:26] <urbancommando> Dogears I come here to I can learn more lol
[01:26] <Dr_willis> bbl
[01:26] <moes> Which java is recommended for firefox-11.0 and ubuntu-10.04
[01:26] <haux> How do I execute a .jar file? I thought you could just use the java command... it's giving me an error.
[01:27] <sunboy> I uninstalled all the packages and reinstalled. Now php is complaining about missing libs
[01:27] <smw> haux, java -jar some.jar
[01:27] <sunboy> How does one clear everything out to start over?
[01:27] <scialex> haux: for things like this read the man page first. Also: java [ options ] -jar file.jar [ argument ... ]
[01:27] <devton> So I'd like to give Ubuntu a spin on my computer. Is there any reason I shouldn't be looking at the 12.xx version which currently is in beta?
[01:28] <thestormsedge> I would suggest 12.04 since there is support for 5 years devton
[01:28] <bastidrazor> devton: 12.04 beta is for those wishing to test it and submit bugs.. its should be considered buggy.
[01:28] <thestormsedge> it's usually the most stable because it is an LTS distribution
[01:29] <thestormsedge> well... when it's not in  beta :P
[01:29] <philip__> devton, only if you're on an really old hardware. otherwise, you're good to go.
[01:29] <lucasfl> Is there a way to choose which apps use the dark variant of Adwaita in Gnome 3?
[01:29] <angs> has anyone installed an email server on ubuntu? what email server would be easy to install and configure on ubuntu?
[01:29] <devton> philip__: I'm running an Intel i7 (3.4 or whatever) with some SSD action and some other stuff - I guess I'm fine then?
[01:30] <bastidrazor> !postfix | angs
[01:30] <philip__> devton, certainly yes... :P
[01:30] <scialex> devton: go with either 10.04 or 11.10, as both are supported for now. I would recomend against using a beta OS in anything that needs to consistently work.
[01:30] <angs> thanks
[01:30] <devton> philip__: Basically I want to try python programming on debian (I'd like to see what else is out there other than working on the Windows environment), would that be of any concerns?

[01:36] <devton> If I download and install Ubuntu 12.04 today, would I have issues upgrading it to the "release version" so to speak at later stages or would I have to re-install the whole thing?
[01:36] <harsh343> scialex, I got this error from 1 month
[01:37] <goddard> is it just me or did adobe just give Linux the you know what?
[01:37] <harsh343> and i am unable to update
[01:37] <Jordan_U> !ot | goddard
[01:37] <philip__> devton, would be the best to perform a clean install after.
[01:37] <devton> Ok.
[01:38] <thestormsedge> though I'm still sort of confused on where to go, I've been to the Ubuntu dev page before and it really isn't clear what the exact steps are in order to get involved
[01:38] <devton> philip__: thank you for your answers!
[01:38] <goddard> Jordan_U: i guess you dont have the flash bug
[01:38] <philip__> just download it, play with it, and wait for the finall release until you start adding thinkgs. and you're welcome. :P
[01:38] <timothy> Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 is out!!
[01:38] <bastidrazor> !loco | thestormsedge this might help:
[01:39] <scialex> harsh343: hmm those are the default repos and look fine from here. Can you get to any of them from your browser. (ie http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lightdm/)?
[01:39] <goddard> http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/03/31/1417245/adobe-releases-last-linux-version-of-flash-player
[01:39] <goddard> Jordan_U: you can read here if you haven't heard
[01:39] <goddard> Jordan_U: is there a fix for this?
[01:41] <thestormsedge> thanks for the Links I'm in NC
[01:41] <thestormsedge> is there an Ubuntu development IRC
[01:41] <philip__> harsh343, did you manually added, removed any repos recently?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> goddard: Every comment up until "is there a fix for this" was offtopic as it was not a support question. For now, if you're using a browser other than Google Chrome or Chromium stick to flash 11.2. In the future Browsers like Firefox may support PAPI or there may be other work arounds, but as of now that's just speculation (which is fine for #ubuntu-offtopic, but not for here).

If I was on the wireless network where I work, then shut the lid, then cracked it open when I got home, I had ot go through all sorts of gyrations to get on my own wireless network.  I've no such problems in Fedora, so it's not the laptop or the networks.  Anyone else see stuff liek this?
[01:55] <philip__> test: so it is just about skype?
[01:56] <test> yahoo messenger, malwarebytes just for testing and hoyle word games

[02:35] <philip__> test: playonlinux, suggest you some applications which can install automatically for you.
[02:35] <test> I installed them
[02:36] <test> I also clicked the agree to terms.
[02:36] <UnknownFork> Is there any derivatives of Ubuntu derivatives?
[02:36] <test> anything else I need to do? how about uninstalling wine?
[02:36] <Agent_bob> ok,  admittedly this is a knoppix system,  but there is nobody in #knoppix   so someone in here might have a suggestion.    if i set the pannel to "TOP" and cleck the "menu" icon it still draws the menu list at the bottom.   is there a simjple cure ?
[02:36] <philip__> test: you installed what...? there are dozens of applications. nvm. ok.
[02:37] <philip__> test: no. playonlinux works with wine.
[02:38] <philip__> test: its just meant to make things easier installing apps.

[02:40] <test> my mom is adicted to them but her windows has a lot of problems
[02:40] <philip__> test: don't forget the link to the wine forum. playonlinux additionally helps upon installation.
[02:40] <glewdrarf> urbancommando: only dhclient.conf
[02:41] <test> can you please send me that link again?
[02:41] <test> sorry

[02:52] <philip__> test: you should upgrade wine. in the playonliux, browse to wine and tell me what you have there. also, how did you installed skype exactly?
[02:52] <philip__> test: you should not do anything on your own so i can help you.

[02:56] <drklunk> alrighty, is that just #ubuntu+1?
[02:56] <test> philip_ WineVersion server temporary unavailable. Please try again later. lol
[02:57] <test> maybe it's just not meant to be?
[02:57] <h00k> drklunk: yep
[02:57] <ubuntu64bit> not to get off-topic but when is 12.04 being released?
[02:57] <drklunk> cool thanks!
[02:57] <xangua> ubuntu64bit: /join #ubuntu+1
[02:57] <philip__> test: open synaptic and search wine.
[02:58] <danes> hello, can anyone here please help me understanding how to set permissions in apache and svn to prompt users for password when accessing a website? I already managed to setup a lamp server and subversion but I don't know how to set the permissions
[02:59] <test> should I just manually select all the "wine" packages?
[02:59] <philip__> test: no! see if there is another version suggested.
[03:00] <test> I don't see suggestions, just other versions that aren't checked or installed.
[03:00] <test> I have two of them installed.
[03:00] <danes> or how do I set the permissions in a repository?
[03:01] <philip__> test: quit all applications and open a terminal. leave the chat open. :P
[03:01] <test> ok terminal opened
[03:02] <funnyhaha> i am trying to install a program and it need libssl so i installed libssl but the program i am trying to install says Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libssl.....what do i do
[03:02] <test> hey, I'm not quite that dumb, I know to leave the chat open :p
[03:03] <philip__> test: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[03:03] <philip__> test: lol :P
[03:04] <danes> can anyone help me to understand how to setup permissions in a repository?
[03:04] <test> that was quick
[03:04] <test> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[03:04] <philip__> test: sudo apt-get update
[03:04] <test> done
[03:05] <philip__> test: sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:05] <test> hey you know what I believe the problem is? I forgot to download the 64 bit version of ubuntu, I'm running 32
[03:06] <funnyhaha> the program is Rcracki
[03:06] <philip__> twst: you'll need the 32 bit libraries to do that anyway.
[03:08] <haux> Does anyone here know how to customize the icon of a launch in an Awn panel using a png? I coulda swore I was able to do this before, because I have a png of an icon in the directory of the applications, but now it isn't letting me select it.
[03:08] <haux> *launcher
[03:09] <test> wow 11.1 MB
[03:09] <test> I use to run 12 mbps fiber optic
[03:09] <test> but those days are over for now
[03:10] <funnyhaha> libssl does anyone know what that is?
[03:10] <funnyhaha> or if there is more than one of them
[03:12] <philip__> test: 12 mbps for fiber seems low to me.
[03:12] <test>  12104kB/s 42min 47s
[03:12] <urbancommando> very low
[03:13] <test> well I'll get the 100 Mps speed then, would that be enough?
[03:13] <test> and my 150" monitor
[03:14] <philip__> test: yes, but you don't really need that.
[03:14] <test> I'll share it
[03:14] <test> use it as a domain
[03:14] <Aethor> hi all :)   anyone here got any experience solving problems with Linux and Realtek RTL8111B   (r8168/r8169 driver)?
[03:14] <test> make money
[03:15] <philip__> test: ofcourse, whatever flows your boat. is that how they say it? :P
[03:15] <philip__> ahthor
[03:15] <philip__> Aethor: ubuntu version?
[03:16] <test> anyway philip_ after doing all of this installation and going through all this mess, do you think it would be a good ideal to download and installed 64 bit version of ubuntu? I believe this laptop is 64 bit
[03:16] <Aethor> failing on 12.04 and 11.10, works on 10.04 lts
[03:16] <Aethor> didnt try others yet
[03:16] <kirsten> I have a question for the experts...
[03:16] <urbancommando> O_o test?
[03:16] <Aethor> fails in the same way in the last fedora, opensuse, arch, debian
[03:16] <test> aethor, I'm using 10.10 I hate the new version they have out.
[03:17] <Aethor> well, I thought about installing 10.4 and waiting another year... but I came here on an off chance that someone knows a solution
[03:17] <philip__> test: according to wine, and others, there is no need to do that. otherwise, you'll have to compile wine for your system. but the benefits of it, wouldn't be that much.
[03:18] <Aethor> cause even with the latest driver this NIC wont work in these versions of linux, and in ubuntu 10.04 it works like a charm
[03:19] <test> well it is very slow, that's why I was asking. I mean the linux itself to open like firefox and other apps
[03:20] <Aethor> test: if you have more than 4 Gb (such as, an 8 GB box, or 12 gb etc) you need a 64-bit OS
[03:20] <kirsten> I'd like to change the location to the home folders. I've set up the dual boot with a separate partition for the data.  I redirected the folders in Windows and want to do the same in Ubuntu.
[03:20] <philip__> Aethor: on what ubuntu version you wish to run it?
[03:20] <test> I have 4 gigs
[03:20] <test> memory
[03:20] <Sharkfin> Alright so I'm having issues. If anyone can PM me for a quick chat it'd be fantastic
[03:20] <philip__> test: what are your laptop's specs?
[03:20] <Aethor> philip: on the newest that I can, if possible.
[03:20] <test> duo core processor
[03:20] <kirsten> I was trying to follow instructions but they said to remove the folders on the side which is a greyed-out option...
[03:21] <mosesrenegade1> Is anyone here familiar with Ultrabooks and Ubuntu?
[03:21] <test> duo core 2.00 GHz and 4 gig memory
[03:21] <Aethor> test: on 4 Gb you will lose only a little bit - about equal to the amount of your video card ram - if you use a 32 bit OS (same logic regardless if it's win or lin)
[03:21] <test> 160 gig hdd
[03:21] <mosesrenegade1> I had a Ubuntu 11.10 install on this system, and on a reinstall its completely broken...
[03:21] <Matt|Grief> can anyone help me get transmissions screenlet working?
[03:21] <Matt|Grief> ive been trying for hours
[03:22] <RudyValencia> when is the next LTS coming out?
[03:22] <test> I have vista on the other partition and I think it's 64 bit, I never looked lol
[03:22] <epvi> hey
[03:22] <epvi> does anyone know of a remote desktop application that can be installed on ubuntu via ssh?
[03:22] <urbancommando> epvi virtualbox or vmware
[03:22] <nds> I assigned static IP on network connections. now the eth interface disappeared. on the ifconfig, only lo is shown. how can I activate the eth0?
[03:23] <test> dude this is still installind and downloading stuff.
[03:23] <test> boring!
[03:23] <test> lol
[03:23] <Sharkfin> Anyone?
[03:24] <Aethor> nds: assuming that your /etc/network/interfaces is correct, try ifup eth0
[03:24] <epvi> urbancommando: would i be able to install and setup completely from an ssh connection?
[03:25] <Aethor> philip: you asked on which version of ubuntu do I wish to run it - do you know of a way how to get it to work?
[03:27] <philip__> Aethor: I'm still looking if i can help.
[03:27] <Sharkfin> The issue I'm having is hard to describe, trying to install ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook, I need a bit of guidance to get the partition to work right
[03:27] <urbancommando> epvi not sure sry
[03:27] <philip__> test: makes sense.
[03:27] <epvi> thanks urbancommando
[03:28] <Aethor> sharkfin: normally you need 1 partition for linux and 1 for swap (though that one isn't absolutely necessary) and then if you also want windows, one partition for that
[03:29] <Sharkfin> Aethor: Not the issue. I really need to talk with someone. I'm a total beginner with this stuff.
[03:29] <midc111> Hello
[03:29] <nds> I can see eth0 on ifconfig, and setted IP. however, the internet doesnt work. what should I do?
[03:29] <test> philip_ you didn't hook me up wth some type of linux virus did ya?
[03:30] <Aethor> nds: first thing now is to ping your router, see if you can reach it
[03:30] <Agent_bob> nds check dns settings too
[03:30] <nds> it  ping
[03:30] <test> nds, i had that same problem with xubuntu, but ubuntu works fine, I'm having other problems with it though lol
[03:31] <Aethor> sharkfin: I'm not really an install/partition guru, but if you want, open a chat with me, if I can answer, I will... though I'm at best intermediate
[03:31] <philip__> Aethor: Since its working on 10.10 your best bet would be to reopen te ticket on launchpad.
[03:31] <nds> I used to have arrows on the top bar next to the mail icon
[03:31] <Agent_bob> nds   also the "route" command can tell you if the default gateway is setup correctly and if not adjust it.
[03:31] <philip__> Aethor: guys there are fast.
[03:31] <Aethor> philip: there's a bunch of tickets already open against r8168 and/or r8169
[03:32] <philip__> test: i beleive not.
[03:32] <nds> when I click on "network connections" on wired connection, it is noted "never" for the last used
[03:32] <nds> rout is set correctly
[03:32] <Aethor> nds: so can you or can't you ping your router? if you can, then the problem is probably dns
[03:33] <philip__> Aethor: model specified. i can't think of something else really.
[03:33] <Aethor> philip: ok, thanks for trying :)
[03:34] <nds> yes I can ping the router, but after the arrows icon disappeared, I have had this problem.
[03:34] <nds> is it possible that my /etc/network/interfaces setting wrong?
[03:34] <nds> is there any example settings that I can see?
[03:34] <dcht00> hi!, could someone pleaase help me with a mpd/ports problem I'm having
[03:34] <philip__> Aethor i wish i could really help you. you're welcome.
[03:34] <Agent_bob> nds man interfaces    has some examples
[03:34] <dcht00> i've opened 6600 with ufw, but I can't connect to mpd running there !
[03:35] <dcht00> ufw logs show no connection attempt. it's on local net.
[03:36] <midc111> nds If there's anyway you can get to your router's http interface if it has one and if it has one of those ping diagnostics, you can try pinging ubuntu.com or google.com from there and see if it's a problem with ubuntu at all
[03:36] <midc111> although my bet's on your dns settings
[03:36] <midc111> just my 2 cents
[03:36] <Zebers> hi
[03:38] <nds> it can ping the router but it can not ping google's IP 216.239.51.99
[03:38] <nds> I disabled my firewall
[03:39] <syddraf> Is there some utility to enable/disable my touchpad? Based on my research, it is currently unsupported on Ubuntu, so it freaks out and moves the mouse cursor around if I hover over it while typing.
[03:39] <Aethor> check the gateway setting - does it know that routers ip is the gateway?
[03:39] <urbancommando> nds here is an example http://pastebin.com/AR2tC9hD
[03:40] <dcht00> controlling mpd on local network / opening port 6600 anyone?
[03:40] <urbancommando> i messed up on the wireless remove the address and so on..
[03:41] <delinquentme> what is zookeeper for ubuntu?
[03:41] <Aethor> nds: if you can ping the router but not an outside ip it usually means that it does not know that your router is the router, that is, that it should send packets falling outside your netmask to the router
[03:42] <travis> ubuntu-or
[03:42] <tbruff13> my inline mic will not work on kubuntu
[03:42] <philip__> tbruff13: open terminal
[03:43] <TRAVISg> I am getting a segmentation fault when I try to start Chromium in ubuntu 11.10
[03:43] <tbruff13> philip__, the alsamixer thing
[03:44] <TRAVISg> I have tried purging and reinstalling
[03:44] <tbruff13> go ahead and instruct me but i have tried this before
[03:44] <philip__> tbruff13: exactly.
[03:44] <nds> it is weird that although on the gateway address is assigned on /etc/network/interfaces for eth0, there is no gateway address on ifconfig. however I can ping the router and I can ping ubuntu from another pc in the network
[03:45] <nds> any idea what could be the problem?
[03:45] <nds> I dont have the arrow signs on the top toolbar, next to the date
[03:46] <TRAVISg> I can not open Chromium
[03:47] <Agent_bob> nds  yes your route can need a line like this example "route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0"   or your dns settings can be wrong or missing.     /etc/resolv.conf  might help...
[03:47] <philip__> travisg: after purge reinstall,
[03:47] <Aethor> nds: can you give us your /etc/network/interfaces, or at least the part for eth0?
[03:47] <philip__> travisq: did you search for leftovers?
[03:48] <nds> sure just a sec, I will type manually
[03:48] <TRAVISg> NO how would I do that?
[03:48] <TRAVISg> sorry didn't mean to caps that
[03:48] <dcht00> hi all, UFW question
[03:48] <dcht00> netstat -apn shows a port is only open for 127.0.0.1
[03:49] <dcht00> how do I change to open for all?
[03:51] <dubaco> how do i remove the screen reader?
[03:51] <dubaco> it's rubbish in swedish
[03:52] <i7c> dcht00: i guess that has nothing to do with your firewall
[03:53] <i7c> dcht00: it's a matter of the sever opening that port. only the server can decide if it listenes to localhost, another address or all addresses. from which process is the port?
[03:53] <dcht00> ufw gives "6600                       ALLOW       Anywhere" ...........but netstat -apn gives "tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6600          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN" .............
[03:53] <dcht00> i found this strange
[03:53] <dcht00> i7c : mpd
[03:53] <brainproxy> wanting to list all child processes for a pid recursively, like the output of pstree, but want a space separated list of pids as the output instead of an ascii diagram
[03:54] <i7c> dcht00: as i said, it's not a matter of the firewall. you have to change in the mpd.conf so that mpd listens to all addresses
[03:54] <jrib> brainproxy: probably pgrep
[03:54] <dcht00> i7c : that's a great tip, didn't realise that.. having a look
[03:55] <i7c> dcht00: it's that setting in the conf: "bind_to_address"localhost""
[03:55] <i7c> not sure, but i think a * should do it
[03:56] <anthropos> does anyone know how to either change which keyring google chrome uses, or change which keyring gnome tried to unlock automatically at login?
[03:56] <dcht00> i7c : got it! it's "any"
[03:56] <i7c> dcht00: star works as well, i just found out :D but better put any then
[03:57] <dcht00> i7c : I've done mpd on a centOS server before and default was indeed "any", while ubuntu has "localhost" ...I guess it makes sense. much thanks!
[03:57] <i7c> dcht00: you're welcome. :)
[04:02] <zerout> ciao a tutti
[04:08] <davicitogospel> hello
[04:11] <urbancommando> please open  a ticket.
[04:11] <urbancommando> lol
[04:12] <nds> thank you very much for your help urbancommando
[04:12] <urbancommando> np
[04:13] <nds> I have one more question:) I would like to use ubuntu PC as webserver, I already installed apache2 and postfix. do I also need to install dns server on ubuntu?
[04:14] <K-Rich> why would you run postfix on a webserver?
[04:15] <nds> as mailserver
[04:15] <nds> someone here told me that I should use postfix for the mail server, did I install the wrong package?
[04:16] <urbancommando> you got it right
[04:16] <nds> what I want to do is to use ubuntu PC for webhost for my webpage and have an email address in the same extension with the webpage
[04:16] <nds> do I need to install dns server as well?
[04:17] <urbancommando> so your just running this off of your home?
[04:17] <nds> or the domain provider takes care of dns ?
[04:17] <urbancommando> yeah the domain provider will take care if it
[04:18] <urbancommando> they will give you a dns forgot what its called
[04:18] <anthropos> you will still need to configure the DNS records yourself
[04:18] <urbancommando> yes
[04:18] <anthropos> but they will give you some kind of authoritative nameserver
[04:18] <rmk> Hello.  Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu continue to re-try DHCP forever rather than give up and have dhclient exit?
[04:19] <bencc2> I'm trying to convert centos build instructions to ubuntu. what should I use instead of --with-default-font-path="catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d,built-ins" ?
[04:19] <Agent_bob> xmail - advanced, fast and reliable ESMTP/POP3 mail server
[04:20] <wkr_> in tmux: how can i turn off pane split line? 'qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq'
[04:21] <nds> the webserver has an IP address as 192.168.x.x for configuring the dns records, would it be fine to use the real IP of the router, or does the server require a non-shared real IP?
[04:21] <macosx> Algum brasileiro por ai?
[04:23] <urbancommando> people will use your external ipaddress to connect to your webserver.  Your websever should be setup with your internal ip.  You have to tinker with your router to foward...
[04:23] <urbancommando> been a will ...for be but if i remember correctly thats the jist of it.
[04:23] <rodhash> Hello guys... My compiz is not stable, very often it restarts the compiz and mess up the window positions among the virtual desktops...
[04:24] <rodhash> I've already tried a purge / install on compiz, didn't help much... any idea?
[04:24] <nds> urbancommando, thanks a lot for all answers

[04:35] <sattar> If all the panels on the Gnome v2 desktop disappeared, how can at least one be created/restored so that they can be right clicked on to add more and widgets and stuff?  I cannot figure out how to add a panel other than backing up all the files created by starting gnome for the first time and letting them be recreated and restoring the backup little by little or simply creating a new user.  I'm using Gnome v2.
[04:36] <xangua> !nounity | sattar
[04:36] <xangua> sattar: ooh you are using gnome2 sorry didn't read the last part, just reset the panel
[04:37] <sattar> xangua: That doesn't help me at all.
[04:37] <xangua> !panels | sattar
[04:37] <sattar> mm
[04:37] <sattar> ah nice, thanks!
[04:40] <OffGridOps> 12.04 upgrade from 11.10:  I have updated everything and still have no sidebar (Unity I guess its called) nor any tabs on the top (time, signal, etc.)  I can access terminal.  Is there anything I can do to install the bars so I can use 12.04?  Thanx
[04:40] <xangua> !pangolin | OffGridOps
[04:40] <OffGridOps> oh sorry I see wrong channel
[04:41] <urbancommando> you tell him bot
[04:41] <urbancommando> lol

[04:43] <wylde> :P
[04:44] <urbancommando> ahaha
[04:47] <syddraf> Is there some utility to enable/disable my touchpad? Based on my research, it is currently unsupported on Ubuntu, so it freaks out and moves the mouse cursor around if I hover over it while typing.
[04:48] <xangua> syddraf: use your function keys to enable/disable touchpad
[04:49] <xangua> sysdoc_: here on lucid/gnome2 is an option to disable touchpad while writting, don't know in gnome3 but did you check your mouse settings
[04:50] <syddraf> xangua: I'm using Xubuntu, but the hardware drivers don't recognize my touchpad as a touchpad, it thinks that it is a standard mouse.
[04:50] <sweetprince> As sattar I had just asked how to reset gnome v2 panels and someone suggested `gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel` However that didn't work and even I noticed that gnome-panel was not running even.  And from terminal I execed `gnome-panel` and they appeared.  However, logging out from desktop environment and logging back in and the panels were not preserved or saved, or gnome-panel did not auto
[04:51] <sweetprince> oops
[04:51] <sattar> xangua: o/  see sweetprince's comments if you can help still
[04:52] <urbancommando> you can try the touchpad-indicator
[04:53] <bencc2> when building from source I'm getting an error: "fatal error: drm.h: No such file or directory" although I have libdrm-dev installed and I can see the file under /usr/include/drm/drm.h
[04:53] <bencc2> how can I tell the make file it is there?
[04:53] <syddraf> urbancommando: I have no program by that name and I do not see it in the repository. Is it under a different package name?
[04:53] <CellTech> How can I update my browsers flash without having to download and instal a package? Is there a way to just terminal install it?
[04:54] <xangua> sattar: sweetprince run "gnome-panel &" and in gconf-editor go to desktop/gnome/session/required_components and in the panel setting set "gnome-panel" as value
[04:55] <kah_> hey, I'm in classic mode.. I just added an icon to my top task bar but I don't know how to delete it
[04:55] <Agent_bob> oh!  what is release date ???
[04:55] <kah_> how do I delete an icon from the task bar?!
[04:55] <xangua> Agent_bob: /join #ubuntu+1
[04:55] <xangua> kah_: right clic remove i guess
[04:55] <urbancommando> syddraf http://pastebin.com/b13NfGLY
[04:56] <kah_> xangua: haha, I know right? so I tried that and it gives me the option of Launch or Properties
[04:56] <sweetprince> xangua: mm, it seems to be set there already.  brb, reconnecting in `screen` session
[04:56] <xangua> ooh fallback mode kah_ ¿¿ i believe you need to press shift or alt while draging something from the panel
[04:56] <kah_> xangua: it's the launder icon
[04:57] <kah_> xangua: haha, apparently the directory doesn't exist
[04:58] <urbancommando> kah_ open terminal and type "rm -rf /Desktop/filename"
[04:59] <kah_> urbancommando: did that, nothing happened.. if your suggesting that I should input the file name where it says filename... well there really is no file name
[04:59] <kah_> the directory does't exist.. it's a launcher icon
[04:59] <syddraf> urbancommando: Thank you, but touchpad-indicator does nothing but keep enabling the touchpad.
[05:00] <urbancommando> syddraf even if you disable it?
[05:00] <syddraf> urbancommando: There is no disable button that I have found.
[05:01] <urbancommando> syddraf when you install touchpad-indicator it there should be a setting so you can disable the touch pad.
[05:02] <urbancommando> weird
[05:02] <syddraf> urbancommando: When I click the indicator icon, all it has is "Enable". I think there is a more fundamental problem, since Xubuntu's mouse properties think that it is a "PS/2 Standard Mouse"
[05:09] <urbancommando> syddraf have you tried this work arround http://pastebin.com/i9CLa6Hm
[05:09] <urbancommando> save the file and make it executable. Then put it in your start up.
[05:10] <syddraf> urbancommando: I have "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"
[05:10] <urbancommando> lol
[05:12] <urbancommando> syddraf type this in terminal xinput list
[05:12] <syddraf> urbancommando: It's so frustrating. I have the package for synaptics drivers installed, but apparently they don't work with this model.
[05:12] <urbancommando> and do you see your mouse listed? with the id ?
[05:13] <syddraf> http://paste.ubuntu.com/914108/
[05:13] <syddraf> urbancommando: "PS/2 Generic Mouse                      	id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]"
[05:13] <urbancommando> nice
[05:14] <urbancommando> syddraf now type xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0
[05:14] <urbancommando> keep your fingers crossed
[05:14] <syddraf> MOTHER OF GOD IT WORKED
[05:14] <urbancommando> lol
[05:14] <syddraf> Thank you very much. I've been fighting with this for about a month now.
[05:15] <urbancommando> write it down incause there is a patch so you can enableit
[05:15] <syddraf> urbancommando: Is there a way to determine if it is currently enabled? I'd like to write a toggle script.
[05:16] <syddraf> urbancommando: I found it. Thank you again.
[05:16] <urbancommando> :)

[05:41] <sacarlson> bloodriver: I think it's a java thing
[05:42] <bloodriver> How so?
[05:43] <sacarlson> bloodriver: try disable java and see if it continues
[05:43] <bloodriver> so i update java?
[05:43] <bloodriver> disable okay
[05:44] <aeon-ltd> bloodriver: you should probably update anyway
[05:45] <r4y> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 11. Videos on the internet a choppy. If I restart my computer they are not choppy for sometime, maybe an hour which must depend on what I have done I guess
[05:45] <aeon-ltd> bloodriver: though based on the information available (no info), i'd say it has more to do with flash rendering. What are you doing when these spikes happen?
[05:45] <r4y> Videos that I have downloaded are not choppy though
[05:46] <aeon-ltd> r4y: cpu overload?
[05:46] <r4y> I am not sure
[05:46] <bloodriver> i have firefox 11   it freezes tight after a minute or so
[05:46] <r4y> Does it matter if the cpu was overloaded then not overloaded then I watch a video?
[05:47] <bloodriver> I shut the browser down
[05:47] <bloodriver> and use Opera
[05:48] <r4y> I didn't make what I was asking clear but I am not sure how to word what I was asking
[05:48] <r4y> I meant what I last said
[05:48] <aeon-ltd> r4y: just what are you running when using the browser to stream videos and what are you  running after downlloading then watching?
[05:50] <r4y> movie player after I have downloaded a video using downloadhelper and downthemall works great, but when streaming videos online it evenually starts to get choppy
[05:51] <r4y> I need to run a set of tests, strictly watching one video at a time one after the other, and if there is a problem then I don't know what the problem is
[05:51] <r4y> Like you said it can be the cpu
[05:51] <aeon-ltd> r4y: update flash and your browser? what are the specifications of your pc?
[05:51] <r4y> yes
[05:51] <r4y> There are 2 ways to install flash
[05:51] <r4y> install the flash installer and install flash from the web
[05:51] <r4y> or
[05:52] <faweideniu> i can't install gimp ,os is ubuntu 11.10
[05:52] <r4y> install flash from the Ubuntu Software center
[05:52] <r4y> I should run my test
[05:52] <aeon-ltd> ok
[05:52] <r4y> TY for the help
[05:52] <aeon-ltd> faweideniu: explain more to the channel
[05:54] <newbchessplayer> could anyone let me know how to fix the blank square so i can watch justin.tv?
[05:54] <newbchessplayer> sorry
[05:54] <faweideniu> aeon-ltd: thanks
[05:54] <newbchessplayer> there's a blank box where the video should be
[05:55] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: install flash player
[05:55] <urbancommando> it'a a heavy snow storm
[05:55] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: or enable it
[05:55] <newbchessplayer> i did
[05:55] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: restart browser?
[05:55] <newbchessplayer> i didn't know you have to enable it. it doesnt work on chrome or firefox
[05:55] <newbchessplayer> tried that
[05:56] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: where are you? home?
[05:56] <newbchessplayer> what??
[05:56] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: are you at a school or workplace?
[05:57] <urbancommando> he's just wondering if your behind a firewall
[05:57] <newbchessplayer> no im home
[05:57] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: well are you behind a firewall or some kind of restrictive proxy server?
[05:57] <newbchessplayer> no
[05:57] <nazanin_> hi... I am looking at users who logged in to my machine, I see there is a user logged in through "__" (underscore underscore) instead of a tty... anyone knows what is this and why it happened?
[05:58] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: have you used this website before?
[05:58] <newbchessplayer> yes
[05:58] <overdose> od1kanobe
[05:59] <newbchessplayer> maybe i need to install gpu card drivers
[05:59] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: you did't accidentally block it using an adblock type addon/extension?
[05:59] <newbchessplayer> i disabled those
[05:59] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: you chould probably have gpu drivers installed anyway if you intend to render anything with speed.
[06:00] <aeon-ltd> *should
[06:00] <newbchessplayer> ok thanks
[06:00] <newbchessplayer> any other advice?
[06:01] <aeon-ltd> newbchessplayer: none besides reinstalling flash etc, though chrome has flash installed within itself so it's odd that it's systemwide
[06:01] <newbchessplayer> ok thank you

[06:27] <lkslawek> is it possible to set apt policy in a way that will always prioritise packages from the older releases and yet allow apt-get to satisfy dependencies with packages from the releases with lower priority when it is asked to get certain package from specific (newer) release explicitly?
[06:31] <bloodriver> to update everyone...i was having problems w/Firefox 11...freezing up tight...sometimes the entire desktop...but I disabled some add-ons and it seems to be running fine now...the add-ons seem to be 'self-loading' via sync extension...will have to check these settings...but problem solved for now...thanks for the help and advice

[06:42] <stuntman_dan> and partway down it says in order for the intel driver to communicate with the catalyst control centre, xserver-xorg-video-intel has to be compiled with '--enable-sna'
[06:42] <stuntman_dan> how exactly would I go about doing that?
[06:50] <Indiana> A

[06:53] <Dwayne_> hi :)
[06:53] <tanath> i don't see how to get it working though
[06:54] <tanath> i'm trying to use webdav, but i see no means to do so
[06:54] <Dwayne_> i am looking into securing Ubuntu Server, I have been googling but haven't found a definitive "this is an accepted guide" to doing so
[06:54] <Dwayne_> is there one that I am not finding?
[06:54] <Dwayne_> Also - I have read about HardenedUbuntu is that something that is already available or still in plans?
[06:55] <Dwayne_> (also if I should be askign somewhere else please let me know :x )
[06:55] <tanath> Dwayne_, this may be helpful http://askubuntu.com/questions/94045/how-to-secure-ubuntu-server
[06:55] <Jordan_U> Dwayne_: Ubuntu Server is pretty secure by default. If there were something which could be done which could make it more secure, without side effects which could cause problems for some users, it would be done by default.
[06:56] <tanath> if you really want more security, you might be better off going with openbsd
[06:57] <Dwayne_> ah, I see
[06:57] <Dwayne_> thanks guys
[06:57] <niloy> how can I tell grep to not search in hidden folders?
[06:57] <Dwayne_> I will look into openbsd - I believe we plan on using it for a lab so we chose ubuntu because a lot of us are familiar with it :)
[06:57] <tanath> niloy, -v excludes
[06:57] <Dwayne_> Thanks again for your help!
[06:58] <tanath> np
[06:58] <niloy> tanath, -v isnt exactly what I am looking for, I just need grep to ignore .svn folders
[06:59] <tanath> niloy, then why not 'blahblah | grep whatever | grep -v '.svn'
[06:59] <kallosz> Hi, I have problem with my Ubuntu. My WIFI transfer slows down to 0b, 14b.
[07:00] <niloy> tanath, ok thanks, I was hoping it would be possible with one grep
[07:00] <kallosz> i have atheros AR9287
[07:00] <tanath> niloy, i don't think so, but i don't think it makes much difference to use two
[07:00] <niloy> tanath, just found out... --exclude option
[07:01] <tanath> niloy, you could use regex
[07:01] <tanath> niloy, but it'd be easier to use -v...
[07:01] <ocx> how can i use apt-get with ubuntu 9.04?
[07:01] <niloy> tanath, ok thanks, will use -v
[07:01] <kallosz> Anyone can halp my with my wifi atheros AR9287 ?

[07:03] <ocx> are we still able to install packages from it?
[07:03] <tanath> niloy, --exclude-dir=DIR

[07:03] <niloy> tanath, thanks
[07:03] <tanath> niloy, 'man grep' :P
[07:03] <niloy> tanath, :P
[07:04] <tanath> ocx, yes, the release numbers are dates in the form of year.month
[07:04] <tanath> ocx, there's one every 6 months
[07:05] <ocx> the qurstion is, can you still use apt-get with the 9.04 for the time being?
[07:05] <tanath> ocx, oh, you mean will you still be able to use the official repositories...
[07:05] <ocx> yes
[07:06] <tanath> ocx, i'm not sure what the earliest available one is anymore... but yes, you should update
[07:06] <StaffRingedSeal> !eol | ocx
[07:06] <tanath> ocx, if your concern is resources, consider using a lightweight release, like lxde

I wonder how do I make the access to 3rd party software more easier than manually access to the active program.
[07:33] <dfcnvt> ryzzan: Do the following, "apt-cache search printer parallel port" (without quote)
[07:33] <Jordan_U> dfcnvt: You should generally avoid compiling software from source. What are you actually trying to install?
[07:34] <dfcnvt> Altera (Electronic Design for schematic/simulation/testing purpose)
[07:35] <dfcnvt> The software already installed... It's ready to use. I'm asking how do I pull this software and make a icon out of it in Application menu?
[07:35] <dfcnvt> an*
[07:36] <dfcnvt> I assume ln (link) would be it... But I'd like to hear someone comment on that.

[07:39] <helge_> Does anyone know why I'm missing grep.1.gz, and lots of other stuff in my /usr/share/man folder? I have some manpages, but not all. Just did apt-get purge manpages && apt-get install manpages, didn't help.
[07:41] <jixxar> hi all
[07:41] <dfcnvt> helge_: I'm guessing manpages-dev may have some additional information?
[07:41] <tanath> way, one option: http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor/
[07:41] <jixxar> i've got a BenQ e2400HD Monitor with 2MP Webcam on top. How to get it work?
[07:42] <booh-> mrled: !!! So much job to do to make user log in but have access to only his home directory!
[07:42] <jixxar> lsusb doesnt list it
[07:42] <dfcnvt> jixxar: try luvcview
[07:43] <helge_> dfcnvt: nope, it's installed and I find no grep.1.gz in /usr/share/man (like I do on other machines that I'm checking)
[07:43] <tanath> way, could also try httpseverywhere, or tor
[07:43] <jixxar> it works
[07:43] <jixxar> dfcnvt, how to get it work with skype?
[07:44] <dfcnvt> helge_: Hm, I've tested on my computer (this is by default, nothing is added or removed) on my regular Ubuntu system... 'man grep 1' did show up.
[07:45] <foo357> Hello
[07:45] <dfcnvt> jixxar: If luvcview did work and showed up... then you should know the address to your camera... Assuming it is /dev/video0 ...Then you add that information on your Skype
[07:45] <foo357> I've got a computer running ubuntu 64 bit, I want to install a particular package that only comes for the 32 bit arch
still i oudn't find it?
[07:46] <helge_> dfcnvt: yeah, I know. It worked before. (grep is just one example, I'm missing loads of other ones too, like ls)
[07:46] <helge_> not sure why the went missing, or why they don't get reinstalled with apt-get install manpages
[07:47] <dfcnvt> helge_: If you're talking about Help Content... then that's a different story, I do encounter that problem.. But if only directly on the terminal with a man command for manual then I'm not sure what is it you're looking for specifically.
[07:47] <jixxar> dfcnvt, skype tells me that it cant find any webcam
[07:48] <foo357> this 32 bit package needs for example libstdc++6... so I suppose I need to have parallel installations
[07:48] <dfcnvt> jixxar: Did you add the information? (assume it is /dev/video0)
[07:48] <jixxar> dfcnvt, yeah got it :D
[07:48] <jixxar> many thanks man
[07:49] <helge_> dfcnvt: thanks anyway
[07:49] <dfcnvt> jixxar: np
[07:49] <sacarlson> booh-: did you look into chroot for ssh? http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/chroot-users-with-openssh-an-easier-way-to-confine-users-to-their-home-directories/229
[07:49] <iqrama> how do i get my webcam to work with skype in ubuntu 11.10?
[07:51] <foo357> I've got libstdc++6 for 64 bit architecture installed, is it possible to install the 32 bit package without conflicts?
[07:51] <sacarlson> iqrama: you might need the to convert you webcam to v4l2  if it's a v4l legancy , there is a app that does that
[07:53] <iqrama> Sacarlson,: what is the app called?
[07:53] <dfcnvt> iqrama: I've answered the same question as yours. Did you have the opportunity to read the previous comments?
[07:53] <DanDare> Hello. I just installed Ubuntu. Trying command ./configure, but it wont work. Wich package should I install to have "configure" ?
[07:53] <DanDare> Installed build-essential already, but no deal
[07:53] <booh-> sacarlson: I check for rssh and rssh.conf
[07:54] <sacarlson> iqrama: I'm looking for it now in google
[07:54] <dfcnvt> iqrama: Nevermind, follow what sacarlson recommend.
[07:55] <dfcnvt> Shoot, I have not solved my problem.
[07:55] <dfcnvt> Eh, I'll just google it.
[07:56] <iqrama> i have v4l2ucp but i can't get my way around it
[07:56] <monadist> whois monadist
[07:56] <sacarlson> iqrama: here are some notes that look much like I used to have to do with my old cam on skype with LD_preload http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/219
[07:57] <sacarlson> iqrama: you might find others like it for ubuntu, I just didn't bother to look when I saw the ld_preload in the article
[07:58] <skurcey> Cn anyone help me? i installed Steam on Wine and my friend list is somewhere outside my screen
[07:58] <sacarlson> iqrama: other solution is get a new cam that will probly work with v4l2
[07:59] <dfcnvt> iqrama: I'm throwing in a wild guess, just add /dev/video0 in your video preference on your Skype..
[07:59] <sent> skurcey, hold Alt and drag the window to find edges or the maximize/minimize buttons
[07:59] <skurcey> ok ill try
[08:00] <iqrama> Sacarlson: thanx, lemme try out your solution, will let u know in a bit
[08:01] <iqrama> Dfcnvt: i will try it out now
[08:06] <dfcnvt> iqrama: Try run luvcview via terminal
[08:08] <iqrama> dfcnvt: im installing it now
[08:08] <dfcnvt> iqrama: Let me know after you run luvcview. (assume if you don't have it then, apt-get install luvcview)
[08:09] <dfcnvt> Alright, after install then do run and let me know the result.
[08:09] <booh-> sacarlson,  good... it's done thanks :)
[08:10] <sacarlson> booh-: so it worked?  very good
[08:10] <iqrama> dfcnvt: i have installed it, but after running luvcview, it's giving me this ERROR: Requested frame format MJPG is not available and no fallback format was found.
[08:10] <iqrama>  Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal
[08:11] <dfcnvt> Then that tell me you have a problem with v4l2
[08:11] <dfcnvt> Did you install v4l2?
[08:12] <sacarlson> iqrama: bummer I found another note that looks the same for ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam  that points out some things
[08:12] <dfcnvt> iqrama: I'm making a wild guess (again)   Install this one... libv4l-0
[08:13] <dfcnvt> then run luvcview to see the result after that.
[08:13] <osirisx11> hi.. my xwindows have stopped responding to any events...but my music keeps playing and i can type in here and see all this fine.. but i can't close or minimize this window, or alt-tab to another
[08:13] <sacarlson> iqrama: also best to see if your cam works at all with cheese
[08:13] <osirisx11> oh there it goes.. maybe a stuck key..
[08:13] <osirisx11> thanks guys.. ttyl
[08:14] <foo357> Hello
[08:14] <foo357> I've got a computer running 64 bit, I want to install a particular package that only comes for the 32 bit arch
[08:14] <foo357> I've got all the required packages, but in 64 bit versions of course
[08:14] <sacarlson> foo357: and what package might that be?
[08:15] <foo357> sacarlson: it's a package from a company's website
[08:15] <foo357> they only supply it for 32 bit arch
[08:15] <sacarlson> foo357: and the name is?
[08:15] <dfcnvt> foo357: All I'm thinking is "apt-cache search 32".... Which is what you wanted.. not really narrowed down the specification.
[08:15] <foo357> sacarlson: foobusiness inc
[08:16] <foo357> dfcnvt: so if I installed the 32 bit versions of the required packages things could be ok?
[08:16] <DaZ> probably yes
[08:16] <dfcnvt> foo357: I've no clue. Never run into this kind of experiment.
[08:17] <dfcnvt> iqrama: What is the news?
[08:18] <sacarlson> foo357: I'm not finding any packages for foobusiness
[08:19] <foo357> it's a pretty small, local company
[08:19] <citynight> hi
[08:20] <dfcnvt> foo357: I think you made it up... But I guess this is just what you wanted.. "apt-cache search 32 foobar"
[08:20] <sacarlson> foo357: well with so little to work from this is all I can provide http://maketecheasier.com/run-32-bit-apps-in-64-bit-linux/2009/08/10
[08:21] <booh-> sacarlson, seems to work yes... thanks.
[08:21] <foo357> thanks for your advice
[08:21] <booh-> I'm just not sure if I have to chown root:root for the home directory...
[08:21] <szal> foo357: gdebi /path/to/packagename.deb <- should pull in all required dependencies, providing the package is properly packaged
[08:22] <szal> *provided
[08:22] <monadist> on gnome xchat... does anyone know how to clear screen?
[08:22] <monadist> for example, on irssi, it was /clear-all
[08:23] <sent>  /clear  ?
[08:23] <monadist> thanks
[08:23] <monadist> yeah..
[08:23] <sent> ;p
[08:24] <Rabenklaue> Hi, I'm curious about the new things in Qt5.0 especially QtQuick2.0 and therefore added ppa:forumnokia/fn-ppa (via apt-add-repository) to my kubuntu packaging system. But I'm unable to find any qt5-* packages.
[08:24] <Rabenklaue> I ran "apt-get update" but "apt-cache search qt5" does not give any results (except libmgl-qt5 - which is not relevant for me).
[08:24] <Rabenklaue> Btw, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 / Precise
[08:25] <szal> Rabenklaue: -> #ubuntu+1
[08:25] <DJones> Rabenklaue: For 12.04 queries, can you ask in #ubuntu+1 until its finally released.  Thats the support channel for development versions and you'll get more people with experience of it in there
[08:25] <mrintegr1ty> hi, can anyone tell me what the meaning of the number prepended to conf files in conf.d/ represents? my guess is that it's priority over packaged versions of the same file or something
[08:26] <dfcnvt> Rabenklaue: I guess qt4 is the only latest for Ubuntu to provide... If you want the latest update then probably need to manually access to qt official site for that source.
[08:27] <dfcnvt> Rabenklaue: Ah, what DJones said.
[08:27] <dillon58078> hey guys
[08:27] <doremon> hello guys
[08:28] <doremon> is there anyone who know about ncrack
[08:28] <dfcnvt> mrintegr1ty: Which program contain conf.d?
[08:29] <dillon58078> im havin an issue does anyone know how to dualboot ubuntu and windows on a ssd?
[08:29] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: /etc/conf.d/##name
[08:29] <szal> dillon58078: why would that be any different to dual-booting from HDD?
[08:29] <iqrama_> dfcnvt: all solutions are not working, i have tried using vlc and the camera is working alright, but with skype no, maybe i should try restarting my machine
[08:30] <mrintegr1ty> I am wondering what the number (##) represents in these conf files? /etc/conf.d/##name
[08:30] <dillon58078> good question lol but i get an error everytime
[08:30] <dfcnvt> mrintegr1ty: hm, I'm not seeing conf.d in /etc directory
[08:30] <szal> define 'an error'
[08:30] <dfcnvt> iqrama, did you download libv4l-0 ?
[08:31] <dillon58078> says that the installation cannon continue blah blah blah disk may be damaged or unreadable.....but it isnt i used the same disk to install ubuntu on my laptop
[08:31] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: ah sorry, in this case i mean /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
[08:31] <szal> dillon58078: what says that?
[08:32] <dillon58078> the error that pops up when i try to install ubuntu alongside windows on my ssd
[08:32] <ravn> folks, I just found out about gnome screenlest which seems really nice, but I can not move the widgets, anyone know how to?
[08:33] <ryzzan> here's the deal... i'm trying to install this printer connect to my computer via parallel port
[08:33] <dillon58078> ive also tried just installing ubuntu fresh format and i still get an error but i know the disk is good
[08:34] <ryzzan> but ubuntu doesn't detect it all the time
[08:34] <DXBLouie`> hi everyone
[08:34] <ryzzan> it shows and disappears all the time
[08:34] <dillon58078> ive been messing around with this for bout a week and its really starting to bug me
[08:34] <Jordan_U> dillon58078: Have you tried running the disk integrity check from the LiveCD boot menu? That will check not only that the CD is good, but also that the CD drive is reading it correctly. It's also not clear from the error message if it's the installation media or the destination disk which is "damaged or unreadable" could you please quote the exact error message word for word or provide a screenshot?
[08:35] <iqrama_> dfcnvt: i did
[08:35] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: and the result of luvcview?
[08:35] <DXBLouie`> i'm having the strangest problem with Evolution mail.. it ALWAYS crashes when sending mail to certain email addresses (some .co.uk, some.org, etc) and if i start it with --debug=/some/file.log or strace evolution, it works just fine! so i'm unable to generate a log to help show what's going wrong :|
[08:35] <sacarlson> dillon58078: so you have been able to install ubuntu on this ssd before windows was installed, but after windows you can't even now if it's alone?
[08:35] <dfcnvt> mrintegr1ty: I'm looking into "man apt.conf" to see any relevant to number
[08:36] <ryzzan> anyone?
[08:36] <ryzzan> :P
[08:36] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: thanks i was also reading that
[08:36] <ace> hello
[08:36] <dfcnvt> mrintegr1ty: A simple search for 'number' would to type '/number' (without single quote)
[08:36] <dfcnvt> mrintegr1ty: Nothing came up.
[08:37] <iqrama_> dfncvt: im getting this after running luvcview, SDL information:
[08:37] <iqrama_>   Video driver: x11
[08:37] <iqrama_>   A window manager is available
[08:37] <iqrama_> Device information:
[08:37] <iqrama_>   Device path:  /dev/video0
[08:37] <iqrama_> Stream settings:
[08:37] <FloodBot1> iqrama_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:37] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: yeah weird i know, thats why i asked here :)
[08:37] <ryzzan> DXBLouie`, have you tried changing ur smtp port? lately the 25 port is being changed
[08:37] <caddoo> Hm what channel can I go to regarding a question about IIS, Windows, Ubuntu & Nginx
[08:37] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: it is not only apt that uses that scheme for conf file naming though so it might be in the LSB or something
[08:37] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: Then try this, luvcview -d /dev/video1
[08:38] <dillon58078> ive tried installing just ubuntu and it didnt work and ive tried dualbooting and it didnt work..... the disk is good i just used it to install ubuntu on my laptop
[08:38] <iqrama_> dfcnvt: ok
[08:38] <ryzzan> here's the deal... i'm trying to install this printer connect to my computer via parallel port... but ubuntu doesn't detect it all the time... it shows n disappears
[08:38] <DXBLouie`> ryzzan, it's my own SMTP server, and i use Secure SMTP.. plus i can send mail just fine, it's just some addresses.. evolution crashes the moment i click send, before it actually tries to connect to the server (verified from the server side and with TCPDUMP)
[08:38] <dillon58078> maybe ubuntu just doesnt like my computer :(
[08:38] <sacarlson> dillon58078: ya I'm convinced it's a install media problem as Jordan_U points out try the integrity check
[08:38] <Jordan_U> dillon58078: Did you see my comment and questions?
[08:39] <iqrama_> dfcnvt: ok
[08:39] <dfcnvt> mrintegr1ty: perhaps. It could be priority
[08:39] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: So, did you get the camera working?
[08:39] <dillon58078> well the ssd is brand new and installs windows 7 fine so its not the hard drive and it cant be the disk cuz i used it to install ubuntu on my laptop.
[08:39] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: I think some people can't read long sentences?
[08:39] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: Did it show your face?
[08:39] <dillon58078> i used nero to burn it
[08:40] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: yeah thats my thought too. need to know how it works though
[08:40] <ryzzan> anyone?
[08:40] <ryzzan> :(
[08:40] <whoaski> hey ryzzan I could be way off but is the hardware irq's setup correctly
[08:40] <skurcey> I'm trying to package ATI driver, is there a way to do this with interface?
[08:41] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: If it work and it showed your face... Then I guess a restart would resolve back to /dev/video0 than /dev/video1
[08:41] <ryzzan> whoaski, gonna check... ty... but i think it is, since it works from time to time
[08:42] <sacarlson> dillon58078: I think it's your cd media at fault,  have it integrity checked (the tools to do so are included on the cd)
[08:42] <dfcnvt> mrintegr1ty: I mean, 00trustcdrom seems not very important and it's just a cdrom... whereas 99synaptic is kind of very important due to its use for apt...
[08:43] <whoaski> the time to time makes me wonder if it doesn't like to be shared. I have no idea if that is it but it is something I would check. like I said I could be way off
[08:43] <anthropos> does anyone know how to either change which keyring google chrome uses, or change which keyring gnome tried to unlock automatically at login?
[08:43] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: yeah, not sure about that though as it is dependant on the systems usage.. the root filesystem might run from a cdrom in some cases
[08:43] <TommoDMC> How do I figure out what VNC server I've got installed, and start the service, over the terminal/SSH? I rebooted the server in my lounge room (which doesn't have a keyboard/mouse/monitor) and I don't have it set to auto-login so I need to putty in and start VNC manually so I can tinker around, but I can't figure out how..
[08:43] <arcsky> hello, how can i delete all with X ?
[08:44] <arcsky> i just want shell
[08:44] <pratz> hey guys can i get the stream url from this site http://www.live365.com/index.live ?
[08:45] <iqrama_> dfcnvt: still not happening
[08:45] <Jordan_U> arcsky: Please rephrase your question. I don't understand it.
[08:45] <schnuffle1> arcsky: sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg
[08:45] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: After you run "luvcview -d /dev/video1" ... Did it show your face?
[08:46] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: Why don't you run "ls /dev/video*" to see if you do have it there.
[08:46] <iqrama_> no it did't
[08:47] <arcsky> schnuffle1: and gnome?
[08:47] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: Nothing on /dev/video* ?
[08:48] <TommoDMC> How do I start vnc server through the terminal?
[08:48] <iqrama_> i just ran, and the result is /dev/video0
[08:48] <schnuffle1> arcsky: sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop
[08:48] <anthropos> TommoDMC, i would use x11vnc if i were you
[08:48] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: Ah, you do have it there.. So, how about try "luvcview -d video0" then smile for the result.
[08:49] <iqrama_> ok lemme try
[08:49] <Snake__> tnet.org
[08:49] <iqrama_> luvcview -d video0
[08:49] <TommoDMC> anthropos, you mean just install x11vnc over whatever I'd installed already? I have 11.10 desktop and whatever GUI comes with it natively, so I'd have expected it to be 'vncserver'... except I can't find that in /etc/
[08:50] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: correct, not here on the irc.. on the terminal. :p
[08:50] <sacarlson> TommoDMC:  this is what I used vino-server and was able to start remotely over ssh http://askubuntu.com/questions/4474/enable-remote-vnc-from-the-commandline
[08:51] <sacarlson> TommoDMC: and you should also try that x11vnc,  I used it also with some success
[08:51] <iqrama_> my bad, still nothing, it giving an error "opening v4l interface: no such file or directory
[08:52] <whoaski> so hey guys ubuntu, ruby on rails, apache2,my sql      thats a good blend for a web server? a secure one?
[08:52] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: it does seem to be just the order of precedence as we suspected
[08:52] <mrintegr1ty> dfcnvt: asked in ubuntu-server also
[08:53] <sacarlson> iqrama_: is it we can't fine this file /usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so  ?
[08:53] <sacarlson> iqrama_: oh maybe your running 64bit?
[08:53] <iqrama_> im running 32bti
[08:53] <schnuffle1> whoaski: its a setup that is often used but has nothing to do with being secure or not. That depends on the apps you use and your specific configuration
[08:53] <TommoDMC> sacarlson, /usr/lib/vino/vino-server exists but i cant run it, just putting 'sudo /usr/lib/vino/vino-server' returns: "Cannot open display: Run 'vino-server --help' ...blahblah", which doesn't appear to have a man page
[08:53] <sacarlson> iqrama_: ok and is that file visible?
[08:54] <sacarlson> TommoDMC: I wonder if x11 is running at all?
[08:54] <whoaski> yes but don properly it's as good as the next guy right?
[08:54] <whoaski> done^
[08:55] <sacarlson> TommoDMC: oh and to run that I guess you would have to setup autologin before it would work with vino-server
[08:55] <schnuffle1> whoaski: yes but you will find people telling you that nginx or lighty is the way to go so I only can say: It's a setup that has proved to work
[08:56] <dfcnvt> sacarlson: I have my camera working properly and there isn't libv4l directory in /usr/lib32 directory. So, if he said he don't have it then it's not the actual source of problem.
[08:56] <schnuffle1> whoaski: for security, check selinux, mod:_security, mod_thorottle, fail2ban, ......
[08:56] <iqrama_> i cant c the the file in explorer
[08:57] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: Can you give me the model of your camera?
[08:57] <whoaski> I have read about nginx I thought that was kinda like an add-on so to speak, does nginx replace apache2?
[08:58] <sacarlson> iqrama_: dfcnvt: I see in this other note it used a different path "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype"
[08:58] <sacarlson> iqrama_: I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and I see that file present
[08:59] <whoaski> it's all new to me kind of a project of mine
[08:59] <mrintegr1ty> iqrama_: I use skype with /dev/video0 specified in the preferences, have you tried manually setting it in skype? it doesn't always detect it automatically
[08:59] <iqrama_> it labtec 2200
[08:59] <TommoDMC> sacarlson, how do I find out if I have x11 installed? when I type in 'x11' and hit tab (in putty), I get the options: x11perf, x11perfcomp
[08:59] <dfcnvt> iqrama_:  Thanks, I'll google it and learn a bit mroe
[09:00] <whoaski> thanks
[09:00] <iqrama_> mrintrglty: i have tried tht
[09:00] <iqrama_> thanx
[09:01] <anthropos> TommoDMC, i think ubuntu uses vino normally. i don't use it
[09:02] <toko> hi guys!!!
[09:02] <toko> i have ubuntu 11.10!!
[09:03] <nickie> can someone please help me troubleshoot why my SSIs are not working in apache? thanks.
[09:03] <arcsky> anyone know my issue with apt-get http://pastebin.com/sdEpvYie
[09:04] <elmien1> hi i installed ubuntu natty on a acer aspire one, i cant get the mic to work?
[09:05] <dillon58078> i tried installing again booted off the cd made it thru most of the copying files part of install then got errorno 5
[09:05] <elmien1> does any one got suggestions?
[09:06] <sacarlson> TommoDMC: I think after loged in on your remote try ps -A |grep X ; to verify you see something like Xorg
[09:06] <schnuffle1> nickie: any logs?
[09:06] <dillon58078> do i have to download ubuntu server? since im running the amd fx 8120?
[09:06] <nickie> schnuffle1: where should i check for them?
[09:06] <kpow_> arcsky, tried removing the lock?
[09:06] <schnuffle1> nickie: /var/log/apache2
[09:06] <arcsky> kpow_: i just did kill the apt-get process
[09:07] <arcsky> -browser-l10n_17.0.963.79~r125985-0ubuntu0.10.10.1_all.deb) ...
[09:07] <arcsky> Unpacking replacement chromium-browser-l10n ...
[09:07] <arcsky> why does it take so long time?
[09:07] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: Try follow each step here...
[09:07] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spca5xx#Step_1:_Get_the_spca5xx_source_code
[09:07] <nickie> schnuffle1: would you like me to just paste them all?
[09:08] <kpow_> arcsky, works now?
[09:08] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: For your camera... It would need spca5xx driver... So, this website should be the best to help solve your problem. Good luck.
[09:08] <sacarlson> dfcnvt: can iqrama_ run cheese to see if his cam works at all?  apt-get install cheese ;  if not already installed
[09:08] <schnuffle1> nickie: No, To sort out why it is not working: Check the config, call a page with SSI and see what happens in the logs
[09:08] <kpow_> arcsky, there's a stale lock file, rm it that's all
[09:09] <kzr22> if i try to join a channel and nothing happens does it not exist?
[09:09] <nickie> 	    <!--#INCLUDE file="./sidebar.html"-->  is actually coming through in the document to the browser.
[09:09] <rumpe1> kzr22, if the channel doesn't exist, it will get created dynamically and you will be the only (?) user in it. That's the usual behaviour on irc servers.
[09:10] <Xabster> kzr22, did you remember the # infront of the channel name?
[09:10] <Xabster> if you did, then check the status window - you'll see some error
[09:10] <dillon58078> im reading up and apparently ubuntu has an issue with comps with over 4 gbs of ram?

[09:10] <dfcnvt> sacarlson: I'm puzzled tho when he said he got the vlc to work via that camera... but nothing else in a different program.. So, I'm a bit puzzled. iqrama_ Did, you try cheese?
[09:11] <kpow_> dillon58078, sure ur not reading on i386 ubuntu? amd64 should have no issues
[09:11] <schnuffle1> nickie:  So what is not working if the sidebar include works?
[09:11] <arcsky> kpow_:  i can kill the dpkg process
[09:11] <nickie> no, it doesn't work.
[09:11] <kpow_> arcsky, kill the dpkg, then remove manually the lock (sudo rm ...)
[09:11] <arcsky> http://pastebin.com/GSeD8ViY
[09:11] <nickie> it doesn't execute.  it gets served literally as include code.
[09:12] <schnuffle1> nickie: so you want to include some scripts that get executed?
[09:12] <sacarlson> dfcnvt: looks like he did also try luvcview ?  I know nothing about that app
[09:13] <nickie> no.. I want the text of sidebar.html to be sub'd in for the <!--#includesdlkjfsald code.
[09:13] <nickie> the contexts of sb.html should replace that line.
[09:14] <progre55> hi guys. I have a problem since a couple of days with my encrypted home not mounting automatically on logon, and every time I boot up, I have to go to tty and "sudo mount /home". Any suggestions, please?
[09:14] <dfcnvt> sacarlson: It make sense to me that luvcview won't work because my camera depend on UVC driver... his is spca5xx driver.
[09:14] <arcsky> kpow_: why does it takes ages for "Unpacking replacement chromium-browser-l10n ..."
[09:14] <schnuffle1> nickie: Is mod_include activated?
[09:15] <sacarlson> dfcnvt: if cheese fails then he would have to look into the cam driver as it seems cheese works with any cam that will work should work in it
[09:15] <nickie> schnuffle1: how do i tell?
[09:15] <kpow_> arcsky, i'd say strace and see if it even does anything
[09:15] <schnuffle1> nickie: Do you have AddOutputFilter  configured for specific files e.g. .shtml?
[09:15] <schnuffle1> nickie:  a2enmod
[09:15] <schnuffle1> I'm off for a fag
[09:15] <nickie> got it.
[09:16] <nickie> schnuffle1: yeah i a2enmod'd it.
[09:17] <nickie> but still not working.
[09:17] <FreeRun> hi
[09:17] <dfcnvt> I don't mean to be rude but I'm feeling tired and would like to take a nap.
[09:17] <TommoDMC> sacarlson, ps -A | grep X nets me: 969 tty7     00:00:06 Xorg
[09:17] <TommoDMC> . That's after I just did a sudo apt-get install X11vnc
[09:18] <FreeRun> i have a problem with dhclient IP renew under 12.04
[09:18] <dubaco> FreeRun, go to #ubuntu?1
[09:18] <dfcnvt> iqrama_: I hope everything worked out for you. sacarlson can probably help you but ask anybody here with long experience on linux and camera.
[09:18] <dubaco> FreeRun, go to #ubuntu+1
[09:19] <dfcnvt> Alright, I'm out.
[09:19] <dubaco> !12.04
[09:20] <FreeRun> ok
[09:20] <nlici> hi
[09:20] <sacarlson> TommoDMC: cool so I guess it's just a mater of picking the display when you login to x11vnc as I guess there's no default
[09:20] <ubuntu_> any1 help
[09:20] <FreeRun> i'm on right channel also :)
[09:20] <simonsays1980> Does anyone know where I can find a repository with gcc-4.7?
[09:21] <myhero> any1 help
[09:21] <nlici> how can i run scl extensions?
[09:22] <myhero> ubuntu is getting locked up ? what 2 do
[09:22] <TommoDMC> sacarlson, I don't think that's it, I installed it, tried to run it, it said it had no X11 installed... so I must be using gnome or some other GUI in ubuntu. (It's just the base...). Yet when I try the command from the VNC server wiki on ubuntu for 11.10, 'gsettings reset org.gnome.Vino network-interface', it chucks an error too
[09:23] <schnuffle1> nickie: Do you have AddOutputFilter  configured for specific files e.g. .shtml?
[09:23] <nickie> schnuffle1: how do i find that out?
[09:23] <musa> I'd like to create bootable USB stick to for iMac, but I don't  have a OS X., is there a way to create a img under Ubuntu (without hdiutils)?
[09:23] <sacarlson> TommoDMC: oh bummer,  it's been some time since I've used x11vnc,  might be easier just to have the system autologin and use vino-server, can't you temp give it a screen and keyboard to get it working?
[09:24] <TommoDMC> sacarlson, yeah I might have to do that. I'm gonna take a break for dinner and take another look later. THanks for your help
[09:24] <myhero> ubottu help
[09:24] <schnuffle1> nickie: find /etc/apache2 -type f -exec grep -H  AddOutputFilter  {} \;
[09:24] <nickie> can i just copy that whole line starting with find and paste into my gnome-terminal?
[09:25] <nickie> find /etc/apache2 -type f -exec grep -H  AddOutputFilter  {} \;
[09:25] <schnuffle1> yes
[09:25] <nickie> is it missing a pipe?
[09:25] <myhero> ubuntu is getting locked up...i don't know how.....n displaying user name other and enter password box.....n not getting unlocked? what 2 do ?
[09:26] <Xabster> enter the password
[09:26] <schnuffle1> nickie: No, maybe sudo is necessary. Have you tried to rename your file to <name>.shtml?
[09:26] <nickie> http://wrttn.in/d47fa0217283
[09:26] <nickie> whoops
[09:26] <nickie> http://wrttn.in/f99bef
[09:26] <myhero> i m running live ubuntu frm usb n didnt created any username or password.....
[09:27] <Zenger> Hi guys, I've installed the nvidia driver. It failed to load, google suggested to put the nvidia line in the /etc/modules, now the box won't start. How can stop the x from loading and edit that line again ?
[09:27] <arcsky> kpow_: how can i make so it skip that chromium ? when i do apt-get upgrade ?
[09:27] <nickie> doesn't help.
[09:27] <Zenger> Ubuntu 11.04, fresh install
[09:28] <Zenger> 11.10*
[09:28] <iqrama_> with cheese the camera works just fine
[09:28] <sacarlson> iqrama_: oh so the driver is working then
[09:28] <Jordan_U> musa: It's possible, but it's difficult and has downsides even if you do succeed (even if you use OSX and hdutils). If at all possible, use a CD instead, burned from the +mac iso.
[09:28] <schnuffle1> nickie: add "XBitHack on" to your apache conf and set all html files that need includes to chmod +x
[09:28] <myhero> how 2 unlock.....any1 help
[09:28] <Xabster> myhero, enter the password
[09:29] <Zenger> how can I edit the bootoptions without having grub installed
[09:29] <myhero> i didnt set any p/w so there is no p/w 2 enter
[09:29] <sacarlson> iqrama_: and you have tried this with this path?  "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype"
[09:29] <myhero> i m running ubuntu live frm usb
[09:29] <schnuffle1> nickie: And you should start reading about howto configure it in the docs. A bit of reading makes it much more easier to understand
[09:29] <nickie> apache2.conf or httpd.conf?
[09:29] <Zenger> or at least I don't know if there is a grub installed since I used the whole box only as a linux box. Aparently it didn't install the grub
[09:30] <mohamed> Hi ALL
[09:30] <schnuffle1> nickie: create a file in conf.d and add it there
[09:30] <iqrama_> the camera has always worked with cheese, the problem is with skype
[09:30] <Jordan_U> Zenger: grub is installed (it's impossible to boot Ubuntu without it). Hold shift during boot to access the grub menu.
[09:31] <sacarlson> iqrama_: yes you should have mentioned that then,  but did you try this then.  "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype" ;  and note the path and verify that v4l1compat.so exists there
[09:31] <nickie> quotes or no quotes? XBitHack on or "XBitHack on"?
[09:31] <schnuffle1> nickie: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/ssi.html
[09:31] <schnuffle1> nickie: no quotes
[09:31] <myhero> @xabster i didnt created any p/w so there is no p/w 4 m2 2 enter....i m running ubuntu live frm usb stick

[09:39] <Xabster> myhero, find the username and password where you downloaded it - and your installation logs out after a certain time period
[09:39] <Xabster> like a screensaver ish
[09:40] <myhero> k
[09:40] <bazhang> myhero, have you tried all lower case for the username
[09:40] <myhero> the username is Other...
[09:40] <myhero> so i tried other and ubuntu all lower case
[09:41] <bazhang> myhero, "Other"  ?
[09:41] <Xabster> can't you change which account it is using?
[09:41] <Xabster> like arrow up
[09:41] <myhero> its stuck also
[09:41] <Xabster> and where did you get that installation file?
[09:41] <myhero> pointer is moving but its not clicking anything
[09:41] <bazhang> myhero, is this the guest account of something?
[09:41] <myhero> yes i think so
[09:41] <myhero> its the original setup.iso frm the ubuntu.com
[09:42] <myhero> mayb i hve tried Other also
[09:43] <myhero> so what to do now
[09:43] <myhero> so what to do now
[09:43] <bazhang> myhero, what was the actual name of the iso, there is not a setup.iso
[09:44] <myhero> means its the (original setup of ubuntu from home site ubuntu.com).iso
[09:44] <johnjohn> Hello just testing an android app. Does anyone copy?
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> johnjohn: hi
[09:44] <myhero> its oneiric
[09:44] <nickie> schnuffle1: still no luck, but oh well.  Thank you very much for all your help! :)
[09:44] <bazhang> myhero, iso, full name please
[09:44] <myhero> k
[09:45] <johnjohn> ActionParsnip: cool thanks colors are working and everything
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> johnjohn: sweet, what client are you using?
[09:46] <meerkats> do I need packages to automount external HDD?
[09:46] <myhero> ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: gvfs does that
[09:46] <johnjohn> ActionParsnip: its called AndroIRC its for android.
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> johnjohn: just curious, I use andchat here
[09:46] <wrenny> I'm using that too
[09:46] <meerkats> odd: I have that package installed ActionParsnip
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: then you are good to go
[09:46] <myhero> @bazhang ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> meerkats:  when you last unplugged the device did you safely eject it or just pull it out?
[09:47] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, no, because, even having that installed, external HDD dont mount, I cannot access it
[09:47] <johnjohn> ActionParsnip: Nice im gooing to go 5 star it. Flawless.
[09:47] <bazhang> myhero, make sure when you are in the installer that you only use lower case for username and pass
[09:47] <meerkats> pull out, but that has never meant any problem ActionParsnip
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: thats why then
[09:47] <johnjohn> ActionParsnip: Using a droid2 here
[09:48] <myhero> but i hve not installed it....i m runnng it live frm usb
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: the safe remove feature is there for a reaon
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> *reason
[09:48] <bazhang> johnjohn, ubuntu support issue?
[09:48] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, why now?
[09:48] <sacarlson> I can't seem to change preferences in cheese now in ubuntu 11.10 it's grayed out, I also tried sudo cheese with same problem.  any work arounds or maybe a ppa needed?
[09:48] <johnjohn> Yeah but im waiting my turn
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: if you don't safe remove, especially with FAT and NTFS, you will get issues in Linux
[09:48] <bazhang> johnjohn, no turns here just ask
[09:48] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, this is an ext4
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: the partition is marked as dirty, not unmounted clean
[09:48] <mi3> hello!
[09:49] <myhero> so what to do with p/w
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: I'd fsck the partition then, linux partitions not been unmounted gracefully isn't good either
[09:49] <bazhang> myhero, in the installer all lowercase for username and pw
[09:49] <myhero> ok but its asking for p/w now so what to do in current situation
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: I suggest you manually mount it after an fsck, then safely unmount it and then eject the drive
[09:50] <myhero> in installer it will b afterwards
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: it wil be 'clean' then and gvfs will work]
[09:50] <bazhang> myhero, its live, you want to install, there is no pw
[09:50] <johnjohn> Ok well i have a dual partitiond hd running the latest bt 5 and ubuntu. My wirless internet worked for about 1 week. Now wirless will not connect, but wired connections do. On wirless it will connect to the network but recieve no internet.
[09:50] <myhero> no i will install afterwards.....currently i m running live
[09:50] <bazhang> johnjohn, whats bt have to do with it
[09:50] <bazhang> myhero, so choose install
[09:51] <johnjohn> Just noting that both distros have a similar problem
[09:51] <meerkats> sudo mount dev/sdb1 ActionParsnip ?
[09:51] <myhero> but its locked n i hve some files in it....if it cant b opend then i will hvae e to  n all files will b lost
[09:52] <bazhang> myhero, how can you have files on a live usb
[09:52] <myhero> e* hve to boot n all files will b lost
[09:52] <myhero> means in current session
[09:52] <bazhang> myhero, then copy them somewhere.
[09:52] <myhero> its locked so how to open n copy
[09:52] <myhero> unless n until its opened nothing can b copied
[09:52] <bazhang> myhero, that makes no sense, how did it get locked
[09:53] <myhero> i dont know
[09:53] <myhero> i left it for some time n it got locked automatically
[09:53] <bazhang> myhero, what files will be lost
[09:53] <johnjohn> The usb? Does it have a lock switch like some sd cards?
[09:53] <myhero> i downloaded some files imp ones
[09:53] <Zenger> Question
[09:53] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, I can ls -l the HDD in terminal, is this concurrent with the gvfs idea you told me?
[09:53] <myhero> my office files
[09:54] <Zenger> I'm in a live cd , I need to edit /etc/modules.
[09:54] <bazhang> myhero, are you talking about the screensaver lock?
[09:54] <myhero> i dont know
[09:54] <Zenger> The fs won't leave me. How could I edit that file ?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: you need to mount it first
[09:54] <myhero> its showing Other... username with a box to enter p/w
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: sudo mkdir /media/usb; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: assuming sdb1 is the partition...
[09:55] <meerkats> ActionParsnip, /dev/sdb1
[09:56] <johnjohn> Any reason why my ubuntu startup always says checking for network configuration?
[09:56] <myhero> tell plz
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Zenger: do you mean the modules file on the liveCD itself or are you using the liveCD to edit the modules file in an installed OS?
[09:56] <myhero> its very sad that there is no solution coming
[09:57] <myhero> m leaving
[09:57] <myhero> bye all
[09:57] <johnjohn> Bye
[09:57] <Zenger> ActionParsnip: installed os
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> myhero: if nobody knows, nobody can reply. Can they?
[09:57] <derebel> i'm trying to recover some compact flash cards, some of them have a functional file system others show as unpartitioned, i know i can use ddrescue then foremost for jpegs but most of the files are nef (nikon proprietary format) is there a tool that can recover arbitrary files
[09:57] <myhero> but what 2 do...with the issues
[09:57] <myhero> they need solutions...
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Zenger: then use nautilus and you can mount the internal partition. and you can edit the file there
[09:57] <johnjohn> Google it, post a forum
[09:57] <myhero> :(
[09:58] <Zenger> ActionParsnip: no I cant the privacy policy doesn't let me :(
[09:58] <bazhang> myhero, why would you save files to a live usb system without back ups in the first place
[09:58] <Zenger> g2g , B in 15 mins , answer and I will read later. thank you
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> myhero: use your backups for your files
[09:58] <bazhang> myhero, any reboot and they are gone
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> Zenger: oh do you use encrypted fs?
[09:58] <myhero> i was not saving...i was just working n i left it for some moment n when i returned it got locked up
[09:58] <Zenger> ActionParsnip: yes
[09:59] <bazhang> myhero, try entering no pw on the screensaver lock
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> myhero: if you use CTRL+ALT+F1 you can login there and may help
[09:59] <myhero> yea i know n thats the problem
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> Zenger: can't you boot to root recovery console on the installed OS and edit it there?
[09:59] <myhero> thnx action....will try
[09:59] <johnjohn> Well noone seems to know ill try again tomorow thanks everyone. Nice chatting with you ActionParsnip
[09:59] <myhero> @baz i tried with no p/w but to no avail
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> Zenger: I have zero experience of encryptfs, its not worth it imho
[10:00] <bazhang> myhero, then the files are lost, replace with backups
[10:00] <myhero> now the problem is that pointer is moving but its not clicking anything
[10:00] <myhero> y this ?
[10:01] <bazhang> myhero, you just said you cannot get past the screen lock
[10:01] <caddoo> How do I set the default from email in sendmai

[10:01] <bazhang> myhero, without that, there is not mouse clicking involved
[10:01] <myhero> i was not getting past n i was clicking enter n after some clicks it got stuck
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> myhero: try restarting your window manager
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> myhero: use TAB and ENTER to press the buttons on the UI
[10:02] <myhero> pointer is moving but its not clicking inside the p/w box
[10:02] <myhero> ok
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> myhero: do you use a mouse or is it a touchpad?

[10:02] <myhero> i think i tried tab...
[10:03] <myhero> but its not working either

[10:30] <readme> I've got gnome3 here, trying it for the first time. When attempting to change the wm theme (window decor) with gnome-tweak-tool, nothing happens. Are certain themes incompatible with Gnome3?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> !info gmp
[10:30] <caddoo> does anyone have a sendmail.mc config file I can see that they only use for SMTP
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: unload and reload the driver module
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: do you dual boot?
[10:33] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, no
[10:33] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, and it seems that the driver is not loaded
[10:33] <AdvoWork> I'm using chrome, and printing to pdf. The default name it gives is output.pdf  is there anyway to change this?
[10:33] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, i also have one static ethernet over usb connection
[10:34] <c0rnel> let's disconnect that
[10:35] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, is this the restricted drivers problem coming from debian?
[10:37] <c0rnel> it's an intel netcard
[10:38] <Guest9700> hAllo
[10:38] <caddoo> right I've royally f'ed my sendmail conf file

[10:47] <ace> it s not possible to create a ext3 3To partition with a ubuntu 32b?
[10:48] <leonardomartinez> #ubuntu
[10:48] <ikonia> ace: sorry what ?
[10:48] <ace> I have a 32b ubuntu  10.04
[10:48] <ace> and a 3To harddrive and i want to have one partition
[10:49] <ace> 3Tbytes sorry
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> ace: sure, the arch doesn't limit drive space
[10:50] <ace> ah ok
[10:50] <ace> i have to use parted instead of fdisk
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> ace: you can go up to 16Tb with Ext3
[10:50] <ace> k
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Ext4 has a maximum of 1Eb volume size :)
[10:51] <ace> lol nice
[10:52] <ace> 1Eb should be enough for everyone
[10:52] <dpny> The first HD I ever had was a whopping 40MB. Was huge.
[10:52] <niviej> .
[10:53] <ikonia> ace: if you want a partition larger than 2TB, you'll need to use a GPT partition table, rather than MS-Dos
[10:53] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, not working
[10:53] <Guest88088> ciao
[10:53] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, just sitsthere doing nothing

[10:53] <nooba> hi. I'm trying to use the fglrx drivers with my ati card. The issue is that for some reason I can't use any opengl extensions unless I manually set LD_PRELOAD to fglrx/libGL.so. update-alternatives is set properly, and this is my opengl vendor string: 1.4 (2.1 (4.2.11627 Compatibility Profile Context))
[10:53] <ikonia> ace: sorry for the slow response
[10:54] <c0rnel> how can i tell ubuntu to show the grub menu at boot?
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> dpny: 4Gb here, massive
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: hold shift at boot
[10:54] <BryanRuiz> how do i get ubuntu to stop opening programs when i plug in my iphone to charge?
[10:54] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, thnx
[10:54] <goddard> BryanRuiz: throw away the ipod :D
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: are there lights around the ethernet cable, and flashing
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> goddard: don't bin it, just rockbox it :)
[10:55] <dubaco> ActionParsnip, i am trying to make a windows live bootable usb with ubuntu
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> dubaco: unetbootin can do it if you format FAT32 first
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, much to my surprise
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, there were no lights :(
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, i've switched to another connection and now everything is happy
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, thank you very mcuh
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> dubaco: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: yep, the lights are a dead give away
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: orange = connection, flashing green = data
[10:59] <hellknight> how can I batch convert AVI files to MP4 in Ubuntu?
[11:00] <KayAteChef> ffmpeg
[11:00] <bazhang> hellknight, handbrake
[11:00] <hellknight> that will require a PPA right?
[11:00] <bazhang> hellknight, there is no batch
[11:00] <As> Hi i'am asking about root filesystem : who creats those directories initrd ??
[11:01] <hellknight> As, it is created during installation by the installer
[11:01] <bazhang> hellknight, yes its a ppa
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AndroidVideoEncoding#Expert_mode:_Using_mencoder_.28command_line.29
[11:01] <hellknight> bazhangm thanks
[11:01] <bazhang> hellknight, jstebbins
[11:01] <Xabster> don't lie to him, hellknight, we all know it's a leprechaun in your chassis
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> As: the installer makes them
[11:01] <bazhang> Xabster, ?
[11:02] <Xabster> sup
[11:02] <As> ActionParsnip, what you mean by installer ?
[11:02] <bazhang> Xabster, thats not helpful
[11:02] <schnuffle1> As: initrd is the initial boot disk and its created by mkinitrd which is triggered by several programms
[11:02] <Xabster> oh come on
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> As: the ubuntu installer makes the files on your file system
[11:02] <bazhang> Xabster, thisis support only. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[11:02] <hellknight> ActionParsnip, it says that mencoder mp4 can't be read by mobile devices.. that's what I want to do with those AVI files
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding has a nice script
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/136694-automated-ffmpeg-convert-bash-script.html
[11:03] <As> the installer is a part of kernel job ?
[11:03] <hellknight> ActionParsnip, thanks
[11:04] <Xabster> bazhang, your 3 last sentences broke the same rule
[11:04] <schnuffle1> As: What do you mean with kernel job?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> As: the ubuntu installer, when you installed the OS made the initrd files and so forth
[11:04] <hellknight> As, actually, it is created by the installer.. Aptitude in Ubuntu..
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: aptitude isn't default installed i ubuntu
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: so how can it create something when it doesn't exist?
[11:04] <As> i mean it's the job of the kernel ?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> As: what is the job of the kernel?
[11:05] <hellknight> Actionparsnip, then what application/script does the installation? Anaconda installer does the job in Fedora
[11:05] <LjL> Xabster: unfortunately when people cause noise in the channel they have to be warned. but if you prefer, i guess you can be kicked without a warning next time :P
[11:06] <bazhang> hellknight, ubiquity
[11:06] <bazhang> hellknight, thats for the livecd, debian-installer is the alternate cd
[11:06] <As> kernel=vmlinuz
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> As: you lost me now
[11:07] <Matisse> hi
[11:08] <hellknight> bazhang, thanks
[11:08] <hellknight> I'm new to Ubuntu been using Fedora & Arch Linux since 4-5 years
[11:09] <Matisse> At the moment I can only boot from harddisk using install cd. So the MBR must be broken. But Grub is allright. The ubuntuwiki suggests to install grub... this confuses me. Does this install keep all the entries?
[11:09] <kklimonda> hmm, anyone got idea how to keep system language at en_US but change the default language for new users to some other?
[11:10] <brewmanz> anyone know how to get ubuntu 11.10 to recongise new monitor? switch from CRT to LCD & no new sizes recognised
[11:10] <As> i mean that the installer is one of the tasks of the kernel ?
[11:10] <ahhughes_> hey, I just installed xbmc and its complaining about opengl being unsupported... looks like I don't have the nvidia (GT540m) graphics drivers installed / running. But this is some doco for my laptop, what is the optimus card switching ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53#nVidia_Optimus_video_card_switching
[11:10] <hellknight> Handbrake is fast on Linux than on Windows.. nice..
[11:11] <hellknight> As, no it is not a task of the kernel.. it is a task of a specific application like Anaconda or Ubiquity..
[11:11] <As> ok i understand
[11:11] <hellknight> ahhughes_, it is a technology that can switch between the onboard graphics card & a dedicated one.
[11:11] <fidel> ahhughes_: its the option to use a 3d powered nv card vs a low-spec intel one
[11:12] <hellknight> ahhughes_, like when you're playing a game then it uses dedicated card like GT540m & when you're surfing then it uses the onboard one
[11:12] <ahhughes_> fidel, hellknight well I obviously want the dedicated gt540
[11:12] <fidel> the nv card will need way more energy - affects battery
[11:12] <ahhughes_> no probs
[11:12] <hellknight> ahhughes_, the onboard card of your laptop can decode HD video.. & I don't think that Optimus is supported in Linux right now
[11:12] <fidel> so personaly i disabled the dedicated in my laptop and ended up with a pretty awesome battery usage
[11:13] <ahhughes_> well, something has to give xbmc OpenGL supprt...
[11:13] <OerHeks> yes it is, check bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee & the #Bumblebee irc channel on freenode
[11:13] <hellknight> ahhughes_, what error are you getting excatly?
[11:14] <hariom> I am on ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to install php5, but In my system, when I type: whereis php  . I don't get the location of php interpreter. I have tried reinstalling php5 and php5-common
[11:14] <ikonia> hariom: php5 is the apache module, php5-cli is the command line interperpreter
[11:14] <erkan^> !firefox
[11:15] <hariom> ikonia: So in order to run a php script without apache httpd, should I install only php5-cli?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: doesn't ironhide supercede that?
[11:16] <schnuffle1> hariom: yes
[11:16] <ahhughes_>  error is "XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. Install an appropriate graphics driver."
[11:16] <hariom> ikonia: I see people writing #!/usr/bin/php where does this php in bin comes?
[11:16] <ahhughes_> hellknight, ^^
[11:17] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip, i am not sure, optimus is still using double xorg
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: yeah, its a real mess imho
[11:18] <hellknight> ahhuges_, hmm.. so your onboard card isn't supported by XBMC.. Have you installed the official NVIDIA drivers?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: what nvidia chip do you use?
[11:20] <ahhughes_> ActionParsnip, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM     source   http://www.asus.com.au/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N53SV/#specifications
[11:20] <schnuffle1> hariom: /usr/bin/php comes from the package php-cli
[11:20] <ahhughes_> hellknight, No, I have not installed official drivers
[11:20] <hellknight> ahhuges_, that is a very powerful graphics card..
[11:21] <hariom> schnuffle1: yea, I got it. Thanks
[11:21] <schnuffle1> hariom: apt-file can help to find a package that contains the file
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: run:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: gives the 295 driver
[11:22] <ahhughes_> whats the 295 driver if you dont mind me asking?
[11:23] <fidel> ahhughes_: version of the nv driver
[11:23] <fidel> most likely
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: latest one from nvidia....
[11:24] <ahhughes_> kewl, I'll take one of those
[11:24] <fidel> the normal 11.10 repos should offer version 280 - which is pretty old
[11:26] <ahhughes_> fidel, I dont get any "additional drivers" listed for my hardware.... hrmmmm see if ActionParsnip's advice fixes my lack of opengl support / driver :)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> fidel: its fine for some chips, depends what you have
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !info nvidia-current
[11:29] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip, i think x-swat ppa provides gt540 support > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/+packages
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: may update the xorg version thouugh, the one I gave is less fresh / more stable :)
[11:32] <ahhughes_> how can I restart xserver?
[11:33] <schnuffle1> ahhughes_: restart the display amanger: services lightdm restart
[11:33] <schnuffle1> service
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: I use:  killall -u $USER
[11:34] <Zenger> Hi guys
[11:35] <Zenger> I have a few computers in my office, they all are in ubuntu box. I would like to setup a network , so I could access files from other pc's.
[11:35] <Zenger> Should I install samba ?
[11:35] <Zenger> Or is there some other way which doesn't require any additional software ?
[11:35] <schnuffle1> Zenger: NFS can do the job
[11:35] <Zenger> schnuffle1: doc ?
[11:36] <schnuffle1> Zenger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[11:36] <ahhughes_> ActionParsnip, or just restart the machine?
[11:39] <fidel> 4
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Zenger: samba will be easier and allow windows users to connect easily :)
[11:42] <kpow_> windows ultimate and enterprise can mount nfs...just fyi
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> might just have home edition..
[11:43] <schnuffle1>  Zenger: I have a few computers in my office, they all are in ubuntu box.
[11:43] <somebody__> hey, i want to write a bash script that finds all tex documents in a folder (find . -type f -iname ".tex") and then uses sed to attach two lines, one line after the first to add \begin{refsection} and one second to last \end{refsection). can someone please help me with the correct sed command?
[11:43] <Zenger> schnuffle1: and ?
[11:44] <schnuffle1> Zenger: that was just for the other poeple to show you have a ubuntu only setup
[11:44] <somebody__> * -iname "*.tex" of courese
[11:44] <kpow> somebody__, sed s/sed/perl -e/g
[11:44] <DMJC> does ubuntu specifically rely on kernel components to run?
[11:45] <Zenger> schnuffle1: well they are only ubuntu boxes, but there might be some windows users.
[11:45] <schnuffle1> Zenger: But they are still right that if you want your users to be able to create shares, better use Samba
[11:45] <DMJC> eg if I run a modern ubuntu install, is it possible to downgrade to an older kernel?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> somebody__: ask in #bash too
[11:45] <somebody__> kpow, that would only replace sed with perl no?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> DMJC: if you can find the debs, sure. How well it will work when you boot it isa different thing altogether
[11:45] <somebody__> ActionParsnip, i'll do that, thanks
[11:45] <schnuffle1> Zenger: The link I gave you should explain it by the way
[11:46] <Zenger> schnuffle1: okay, thank you
[11:46] <DMJC> I've got a kernel 3.2 system with LSI Megaraid issues. next to it is a centos install that works fine, the kernels are basically the main difference
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> DMJC: precise isn't supported here
[11:47] <DMJC> I'm just trying to get an opinion/feel for whether it would be likely to work or would kill libc or something else
[11:47] <bekks> DMJC: Why exactly do you want to downgrade the kernel?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> DMJC: please ask in #ubuntu+1 ntil release day
[11:48] <DMJC> bekks: because the current kernel/driver combination is causing my raid controller to drop off the system under heavy load
[11:48] <schnuffle1> DMJC: it should be possible
[11:49] <DMJC> thanks
[11:51] <ahhughez> nooooooo, ActionParsnip... I did what (sorry you can see the log history I cant) said... `sudo service lighdm restart` now my laptop won't boot.

[11:54] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | savage_

[11:57] <schnuffle1> myhero: restart display manager
[11:57] <savage_> so ppa-purge can't help me

[12:00] <shan1> hello albert748
[12:00] <ahhughez> is the only way to get into recovery mode by hitting ESC during boot?  Because ESC takes me into bios not some grub boot loader. I dont seem to ever see grub.
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> ahhughez: hold shift at boot
[12:01] <jeek> ahhughez: Try left shift
[12:01]  * ahhughez tries
[12:02] <ahhughez> nope, same as if it was not pressed.

[12:03] <ahhughez> got it!
[12:03] <fhsales> Hello, my friends, good morning. I need your help.
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> ahhughez: your monitor isn't great and isn't talking back to the system, so the driver cannot load. You may need an xorg.conf file which nvidia-xconfig generates to TELL the system how to work
[12:04] <meet> will fifa 12 work on ubuntu through wine?

[12:05] <fhsales> oh isse. ikonia no i did not install anything. ill try installing the gstreamer.thanks.

[12:07] <ahhughez> I chose the "shell as root" option under recovery mode.
[12:08] <ahhughez> Im definately up the creek here :/
[12:08] <schnuffle1> ahhughez: are your partitions mounted?
[12:09] <ahhughez> ahhh yes, tried touch and says "Read-only file system"
[12:10] <fhsales> ikonia:  how do i get the H264 codec?
[12:10] <simonsays1980> I have problems to locate the following ppa: ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test. does it work on your systems?
[12:10] <fhsales> ActionParsnip: when i put the command in the terminal it says unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> fhsales: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc gnome-mplayer
[12:12] <ahhughez> so, yes... I need to mount / so it is writeable to fix this problem.... again I have no idea how todo this :'(
[12:12] <fhsales> ActionParsnip: Now it worked :)
[12:14] <schnuffle1> ahhughez: fdisk -l to see a list of your partitions, then mount /dev/sdxY / where xy is the partition which keeps root
[12:14] <Manulot> which day will launch 12.04?
[12:14] <ubuntu_> schnuffle u there ?
[12:14] <schnuffle1> yes
[12:14] <ubuntu_> k
[12:15] <ubuntu_> service restart lightdm works as root@ubuntu only otherwise it has t be sudo service lightdm --full-restart
[12:15] <elijah> How can I have it so that when I do ls -al it calculates the size of the directory and it's contents?
[12:15] <ahhughez> I just found it schnuffle :) I had to exit the prompt, mount, the return to the shell as root. Funny thing is that its still not working, stalls at a different place now.
[12:15] <ubuntu_> thnx 4 info
[12:15] <elijah> Or, how do I find the size of all the directories?
[12:16] <drostie> Okay, so, I want to use nano with a terminal which has a white background, but it sometimes syntax-highlights strings in yellow, which is unreadable. Is there a way to fix this without rewriting all of the syntax highlighting files it uses?
[12:16] <elijah> cli only, on a server
[12:16] <ahhughez> ok I got an error " * Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail]"
[12:16] <ubuntu_> now once at root user root@ubuntu after doing sudo -i how to come to ubuntu@ubuntu user...
[12:16] <schnuffle1> ubuntu_: okay
[12:16] <zykotick9> elijah: you could try "du -sh /path/to/dir"
[12:16] <elijah> drostie: Check this out - http://beckism.com/2009/02/better_bash_prompt/
[12:16] <zykotick9> ubuntu_: exit
[12:16] <ubuntu_> yeah
[12:17] <pratz> hey guys, little off topic , how can i find the stream url for this site http://www.indie979.com/listenlive/wiyyfm3.html
[12:17] <ubuntu_> srry i forgot...thnx
[12:17] <ubuntu_> coming back after trying more things
[12:17] <myhero> thnx schnuffle
[12:17] <myhero> bye
[12:17] <schnuffle1> your welcome
[12:17] <drostie> elijah: um, what the hell is that supposed to be?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> elijah: find -type d | du -ch
[12:21] <drostie> ooh, vim has prettier colors than nano. That's a plausible workaround for now.
[12:21] <zykotick9> drostie: and "prettier colours" is the most important factor when chosing a text editor ;)
[12:22]  * ActionParsnip covers leafpad's ears
[12:22] <fhsales> ikonia: ActionParsnip: I download what you told me and its working great.thank you so much:)
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> fhsales: sweet
[12:22] <yoshimi-pink> What flags would i need to compile a C++ program in terminal?
[12:22] <drostie> zykotick9: well vim forces me to spend five seconds before I write anything because I'm not yet proficient in vim. nano forces me to spend five seconds when I want to read a string in a shell script.
[12:23] <elijah> pratz: Are you aware of #ubuntu-offtopic? I ask all kinds of crazy stuff in there
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> elijah: did my command work ok?
[12:23] <myhero> schnuffle...more ques?
[12:23] <pratz> elijah: no i was not aware of that , thanks
[12:23] <schnuffle> myhero: just ask
[12:23] <zykotick9> drostie: vim is a great thing to learn, it's available in vi form anyway on all Posix unix-like systems
[12:23] <elijah> ActionParsnip: I just did it, yes, for the most part
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> elijah: np, you can pipe it to less or other commands if you wish ;)
[12:24] <myhero> how to install any app frm .tar.** files
[12:24] <yoshimi-pink> the g++ flags for compileing a c++ program?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> myhero: what is the file name and where is it stored?
[12:24] <progre55> hi guys. I have a problem since a couple of days with my encrypted home not mounting automatically on logon, and every time I boot up, I have to go to tty and manually "sudo mount /home". Any suggestions, please?
[12:24] <ahhughez> ok, so back in recovery mode. Looks like `nvidia-xconfig` has either not fixed the problem entirely or I need another fix. But, right now... I got no idea what the hell im doing
[12:24] <schnuffle> myhero:  there'S no general howto installas tar.gz is just an archive format like .zip
[12:24] <drostie> zykotick9: both are suboptimal. I prefer text editors which work (e.g. Kate) but when I'm messing around with shell scripts they're usually in /usr/local/bin and I usually want to edit them with a sudo'ed command from a console. :/
[12:25] <zykotick9> myhero: comiling for source?  see "/msg ubottu checkinstall"
[12:25] <elijah> ActionParsnip: It is also outputting the sizes of the subdirectories as well
[12:25] <myhero> as usuall i m running ubuntu oneiric live edition....n i hve copied that file to desktop...filename- vlc-2.0.1.tar.xz
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> elijah: so you just want the total sized of the folders in one folder...
[12:25] <elijah> ActionParsnip: yes
[12:25] <zykotick9> drostie: comparing vim/emacs to kate/gedit/leafpad(that's for you AP) is crazy-talk.
[12:25] <schnuffle> myhero: why not installing vlc through softwrae center?
[12:26] <elijah> ActionParsnip: the subdirectories are also pretty helpful though!
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> myhero: http://www.unixmen.com/vlc-2-0-twoflower-has-been-released-ppa-ubuntu-and-linuxmint/
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> myhero: ALWAYS try and find a PPA rather than that sort of thing, in Ubuntu it is rare to need to manually download apps
[12:26] <Rienzilla> Hey guys, I'm trying to make a SIP-call with ubuntu empathy. The sip call seems to be doing fine (it connects, and my pbx passes and connects the call), but I hear absolutely nothing. Sound works fine on the machine otherwise. Any ideas what I might be dopin gwrong?
[12:27] <ahhughez> hey ActionParsnip, got any suggestions for me :) perhaps I need to roll back.. I would rather not have to re-install everything again.
[12:27] <myhero> yea but since mine oneiric is live so everytime everything is lost whenever i boot so installing everytime is wastage of bandwidth...so i hve source file frm  i can installl saving my bandwidth
[12:27] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Any NAT between the 2 endpoints?
[12:27] <Rienzilla> no
[12:27] <io> myhero: run it in a virtual machine?
[12:28] <d3v> hi, i installed LXDE on netbook yestterday and i have a problem with battery status because its always 100% and its not work correctly, maybe someone got idea how to fix it?
[12:28] <d3v> in gnome and kde it was ok
[12:28] <myhero> k
[12:28] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: I just hear nothing, evennot the ring-tones
[12:28] <myhero> but what to do with these .tar.** files
[12:29] <Sheperson> downloading deb packages with apt-get (or aptitude) is too slow for me
[12:29] <io> myhero: what do you mean what do you do with them? do you need them or not?
[12:29] <myhero> every co. seems to be distributing these for their apps linux versions
[12:29] <io> Sheperson: are you using close mirrors?
[12:29] <Sheperson> io,  yes
[12:29] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: So you have a setup         your phone -> PBX -> other phone ( in the same network)?
[12:29] <Sheperson> sometimes, I get an error saying it can not find the servers
[12:30] <schnuffle> myhero: mostly they contain the source code which you have to build, which is a advanced task
[12:30] <ahhughez> ActionParsnip, looks like this is a known/common problem.
[12:30] <io> Sheperson: did you check that you're using the closest mirrors located to where you are?
[12:30] <myhero> @io means if i hve ppa or use software center then these .tar.** files will render useless
[12:30] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: yes
[12:30] <myhero> kk
[12:30] <Sheperson> io, yes
[12:30] <Rienzilla> (it's a vpn, but it's level 2 so as far as the phones and pbx are concerned they're on the same physical subnet)
[12:30] <myhero> @schnuffle if u can guide then i will build it
[12:30] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: have you checked the logs of your PBX and eventually the logs of empathy?
[12:30] <io> myhero: yes, .tar.* files are usually for installing software from source. if you're using apt-get etc. then you don't need them
[12:31] <io> myhero: what are you attempting to install?
[12:31] <Sheperson> I have been using the same mirror before without any problems
[12:31] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: the pbx seems to do fine (it receives the call, and starts playing a message)
[12:31] <myhero> any soft without using internet offline
[12:31] <Rienzilla> I don't know how empathy works, so I didn't check any logs
[12:31] <Sheperson> but now (after a fresh install of 11.10) it's too slow
[12:31] <myhero> currently vlc
[12:31] <neurotech> Does anyone know if there's a way to change line-height in Konversation?
[12:32] <schnuffle> Rienzilla:  have you checked with another softphone? I left empathy beside as I don't like it and had some problems as well
[12:32] <io> myhero: you're using a livecd so you don't want to install software everytime it starts, right?
[12:32] <Rienzilla> no I haven't
[12:32] <myhero> yes
[12:32] <myhero> right
[12:32] <myhero> so as to save bandwidth
[12:33] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Then do that before anything else
[12:33] <elijah> ActionParsnip: du -sh ./* | sort -nr | less
[12:33] <Sheperson> any help?
[12:33] <schnuffle> myhero: then download the vlc .deb package
[12:33] <io> myhero: that's not really the point of a livecd. if you're using it constantly then you might want to consider installing ubuntu within a virtual machine so that the files are not lost
[12:33] <simonsays1980> Does anyone know a ppa for g++ 4.7?
[12:33] <akappa> Hi
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> elijah: looks good
[12:34] <myhero> currently the situation is that i hve taken out my lappy's hdd for windows recvery so i m available with live ubuntu usb n lappy without hdd so currently i hve no choice
[12:34] <io> simonsays1980: '$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
[12:34] <io> '
[12:35] <schnuffle> myhero: If you want a live CD with all the bells a whistles check out knoppix
[12:35] <akappa> I've a problem with ubuntu 12.04: in online accounts, I get an "expired credentials" all the time for both my accounts (google and windows live), even though I just logged in correctly
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> elijah: thats files too, not just the folders
[12:35] <fidel> akappa: #ubuntu+1
[12:35] <myhero> but knoppix doesn't has windows write permission
[12:35] <akappa> fidel, that's the channel for precise?
[12:35] <myhero> i hve seen n used knoppix a lil bit
[12:35] <fidel> akappa: thats the channel for the currently non-stable ubuntu-version yes ;)
[12:35] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: what would be a decent voip phone?
[12:36] <schnuffle> myhero: It has the ntfs-3g driver so it has write support
[12:36] <akappa> fidel, thanks, I'll ask that question over there :)
[12:36] <fidel> gl
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Rienzilla: how is that ubuntu support related?
[12:36] <myhero> i dont know but last time i tried n it said no permission
[12:36] <Sheperson> Rienzilla, how about Linphone?
[12:36] <Rienzilla> ActionParsnip: because I was just advised by the ubuntu support channel to not use the ubuntu default voip application
[12:36] <simonsays1980> io: Thanks, but when I add it via this command and type then "sudo apt-get update" I cannot find it in the list given by "sudo apt-cache search "g\+\+" ...
[12:37] <bekks> myhero: Thats a useless message. Whats the exact error message when trying what exactly when using an Ubuntu (not Knoppix) Live CD?
[12:37] <schnuffle> Rienzilla:  linphone, twinkle
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Rienzilla: will the phone be connecting to your ubuntu system?
[12:37] <ahhughez> ActionParsnip, ok.. back working... although had to remove every sign that nvidia existed.
[12:37] <neurotech> Does anyone know if there's a way to change line-height in Konversation?
[12:37] <Rienzilla> it will run on my ubuntu system
[12:37] <io> simonsays1980: odd, I can
[12:38] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: You were not adviced  you got the hint to test another softphone. That hint came as you mentioned everything with the PBX is alright
[12:38] <elijah> ActionParsnip: Oh, yeah, I suppose, it did the trick
[12:38] <simonsays1980> io: What could I've done wrong?
[12:38] <pg345> is there a metapackage to install developper tools on ubuntu?
[12:39] <Sheperson> pg345, what do you want to install?
[12:39] <schnuffle> pg345: there's build-essential which pulls everything needed for kernel compile
[12:39] <io> pg345: build-essential?
[12:39] <Rienzilla> yeah well is it such a weird followup question to ask what to use if I get the advice to use something else
[12:39] <Rienzilla> man :)
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> Rienzilla: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/85325-usb-phone-driver.html  some ones to try / avoid there
[12:40] <pg345> more than that, compiler C++, C, java, fortran, qt, kde, gtk tools, etc
[12:40] <cypher-neo> My chromium-browser package just updated, and now it won't start. The error I get when trying to start it is "Segmentation fault". How do I fix this?
[12:40] <Sheperson> pg345, you work with all those tools?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: try renaming your config folder for the browser
[12:41] <io> simonsays1980: a multitude of things, but please have a look at: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/test - you'll see the version that you want is listed in that PPA so I'm not sure what's wrong your end
[12:41] <pg345> not myself, but i'm installing machines for people and i want only 1 configuration for all the machines instead of having to install all the machine differently
[12:41] <ahhughez> ActionParsnip, ok thanks so much for your help tonight!!!! I really appreciate it. Look like I hit bug 888373 which has been around since November 2011.
[12:41] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Where is the config folder normally at?
[12:41] <schnuffle> Rienzilla:  Have you any pone connected to your PBX that works correctly?
[12:41] <litos> Hi all. A need to set up a Mail Gateway in ubuntu server. Any one can help me how to do it or where to find a guide for it?
[12:41] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: yes
[12:42] <simonsays1980> io: Yeah I saw that it is there....but in some way it doesn't work to do an update
[12:42] <Sheperson> pg345, you can find the list of packages and use a bash script to install on different machines
[12:42] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Hardware, Softphone, Linux,Windows?
[12:42] <io> !mailserver | litos
[12:42] <Rienzilla> hardware phones (snom)
[12:42] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, You mean rename the file in /usr/lib?
[12:43] <pg345> that's pretty much what i'm doing, i have a preseed configuration file i'm writing and was wondering if there was a way to get all those tools without listing all of them 1 at a time
[12:43] <litos> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[12:43] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Okay, then is your Box running a Firewall?
[12:43] <io> simonsays1980: I'm sorry, I don't know, it appears for me. you could try contacting: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r
[12:43] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, When I did "whereis chromium-browser" it pointed me to /usr/lib/chromium-browser
[12:44] <Rienzilla> no, it is not a sip issue
[12:44] <k013> dear ubuntu people please help - my question is here - http://pastebin.com/J4NKHwvg
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: thats the app, not the config
[12:44] <Rienzilla> empathy just gives no sound
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: the config is in ~/.config
[12:44] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Oh... okay. looking
[12:44] <akappa> k013, do you expect from us to open a link instead of just read your question here?
[12:44] <Rienzilla> just installed linphone which works rightaway apparently
[12:44] <k013> akappa - sorry very long question
[12:44] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: So my hint ( advice ) in the end was correct :)
[12:45] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: I think empathy is a peace of crap, but that's jst my opinion
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> k013: what GPU do you use?
[12:45] <Rienzilla> well, probably :)
[12:45] <cypher-neo> Okay... that almost worked
[12:45] <k013> actionparsnip - its a hp dv6 i5 laptop
[12:46] <myhero> ubuntu has windows write permission but i meant knoppix doesn't has windows write permission
[12:46] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: It could be due to having a mixture of pulse audio and alsa
[12:46] <myhero> n what does /msg ubottu checkinstall means - i received this msg in begining but that time i missed it
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> k013: did you try Unity2D session?
[12:47] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Almost worked. I renamed the folder in config, and I started chromium afterwards. It started up as if it were a new install of Chromium, and asked me to enter my Google account address to sign in and sync. Once I did though... boom, it crashed. "Segmentation fault"
[12:47] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | myhero here you go ;)
[12:47] <schnuffle> myhero: It has but it mounts ro per default
[12:47] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Should I just try reinstalling it again?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: sounds like a plugin is causing the issue
[12:47] <zykotick9> myhero: teh "/msg ubottu checkinstall" would have just given it to you privatly
[12:47] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I don't have any plugins that weren't misbehaving before this update.
[12:47] <k013> actionparsnip - no its not stopping flickering i can't don anything, i have press the on/off button to switch off the laptop , that's the only thing i can do
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> k013: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run:  killall -u $USER
[12:48] <myhero> no it was given here only in the begining
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> k013: on the login screen click the cog and log in to the Unity2D session
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: is it o if you don't sync?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> *ok
[12:48] <k013> actionparsnip - ok i'll try that, any way to access files within windows itself?
[12:49] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I'll try...
[12:49] <myhero> by i think zykotic9
[12:50] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Nope, not alright.
[12:50] <zykotick9> myhero: if you where trying to compile by source, i wanted you to be aware of "checkinstall" program - so i tried to point it out to you :)
[12:50] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, As soon as I do anything that takes it from the start page it crashes.
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[12:50] <k013> actionparsnip - when i press ctrl+alt+f1 will the flicker stop long enough for me to type in the killall command?
[12:50] <myhero> kk
[12:51] <myhero> m a newbie so i didn't understood what u said...but thnx
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> k013: you will drop to CLI so you will have as much time as you have electricity
[12:51] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, oneiric
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: ok run:  apt-cache policy chromium-browser    which version do you have?
[12:52] <hola57> hello guys,any suggestions about good flv player for ubuntu?
[12:52] <myhero> now to get ppa and deb of all the apps since mostly all the co.'s and authors distribute .tar.** only
[12:52] <k013> ActionParsnip - thank you so much, i'll try this and get back to this channel - bye for now! thank you so much!
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> myhero: search for them
[12:52] <myhero> google or anywhere specific ?
[12:53] <akappa> mmh, it looks like upgrading to 12.04 ahead of time was a bad idea
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> hola57: can't vlc play it?
[12:53] <schnuffle> myhero: mostly they distribute deb and rpm packages as well
[12:53] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Installed: 18.0.1025.142~r129054-0ubuntu0.11.10.1
[12:53] <usuario> escuela
[12:53] <akappa> how can they expect to ship it this month, if it's still full of bugs?
[12:53] <usuario> escuela1
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> akappa: there is still time for development..
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: try:  sudo add-apt-repository ?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: sec
[12:53] <akappa> ActionParsnip, not a lot of time, unfortunately
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:54] <schnuffle> myhero:  http://pkgs.org/
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> akappa: it's been near faultless here since alpha2
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> akappa: did you upgrade or clean install...
[12:55] <akappa> ActionParsnip, upgrade
[12:55] <myhero_> k
[12:55] <mongy> there is a problem with the newer kernel and chromium in 11.10
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> akappa: maybe a cause, tried a clean install?
[12:55] <cypher-neo> mongy, Oh really?
[12:55] <akappa> ActionParsnip, in my installations nearly everything crashes, from apport to a js-thing, passing through gnome-shell-evolution-applet
[12:55] <mongy> also even chrome from what I've heard.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> mongy: ahhhhh
[12:56] <akappa> ActionParsnip, nope, I don't have enough time to reconfigure everything
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> akappa: try a clean install. I always clean install and never had an issue
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> akappa: but you have time to put up with crashes..interesting
[12:56] <mongy> -18 hasn't hit my repo yet so I'm lucky, but a friend had this issue lastnight.
[12:56] <akappa> ActionParsnip, right now the bugs are annoying but otherwise the system is somehow usable
[12:57] <akappa> so stop with the sarcasm :)
[12:57] <Myrtti> akappa: feel free to continue the discussion in #ubuntu+1
[12:57] <akappa> Myrtti, I would enjoy that, but that channel is populated by ghosts, it seems
[12:58] <Myrtti> akappa: that's the way IRC channels are... it is the right channel for the conversation though, so please use it
[12:58] <akappa> as you wish
[12:58] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, mongy, What is chromium-browser-l10n?
[12:59] <akappa> it was just for conversation
[12:59] <elijah> Does anyone know what version of ffmpeg openshot is using for Pangolin?
[12:59] <bekks> cypher-neo: the internationalization package for chromium-browser.
[12:59] <elijah> I can't seem to know the name of the package
[12:59] <akappa> elijah, #ubuntu+1

[12:59] <akappa> schnuffle, good to know, thanks
[13:00]  * ActionParsnip rattles his chains
[13:00] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Is it a tool chain? ;)
[13:00] <cypher-neo> Well, fuck me...
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> bekks: bam!
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: sup
[13:00] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I have an error to pastebin to you.
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: go for it
[13:01] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I figured if the latest chromium wasn't working I could downgrade to last working version.
[13:01] <k013> ActionParsnip - i'm back, i tried ctrl+alt+f1, but the flicker is not stopping for me to type the killall command
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> k013: just run:   sudo reboot    then, bit easier
[13:02] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/914485/
[13:03] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Am I screwed?
[13:03] <sattu94> How do I prevent gdm/x from starting autoamatically when I start ubuntu?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: interesting. I'd test your RAM using memtest
[13:03] <k013> ActionParsnip - no u didn't understand, the flickering screen is not stopping its continuous!
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: add the boot option: text
[13:03] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: Boot option, where?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> k013: reboot and at the login screen select unity2d
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: they get set in /etc/default/grub
[13:04] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Is memtest a package I need to install?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: its in a default install, hold shift at boot
[13:05] <myhero_> google or anywhere specific ?y sourse
[13:05] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: What exactly do I have to add to that file ?
[13:05] <myhero_> *by
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: jeez
[13:05] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Ahh, reboot. BRB
[13:05] <k013> ActionParsnip - i reboot number of times only to try killall command but flicker no stop, sorry!
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[13:05] <myhero_> if i hve a file .tar.xz then after extracting how to install frm that
[13:06] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: no. i got that. _WHAT_ do I have to add? or should I just append "text" to the file.
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"   change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text"
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: save the new file, close gedit and run:  sudo update-grub
[13:06] <bekks> myhero_: Dont install software like that, use your package manager to install software.
[13:06] <myhero_> u means synaptics ?
[13:06] <chhx> #join ubuntu-cn
[13:07] <myhero_> i dont have that in live usb
[13:07] <schnuffle> sattu94:  http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#changing-the-default-runlevel
[13:07] <myhero_> so i hve terminal option only
[13:07] <akappa> myhero_, did you mean "tar.gz"?
[13:08] <akappa> myhero_, it's
[13:08] <akappa> ops
[13:08] <myhero_> what i m doing is 1st ./configure then make then make install but in ./configure its configuring n in last its saying something not found
[13:08] <akappa> it means "a TARball compressed with gzip", it could be anything
[13:08] <myhero_> its vlc-2.0.1.tar.xz
[13:08] <zykotick9> akappa: +1
[13:08] <akappa> sources or a prepackaged installer
[13:08] <somebody__> i still wasn't able to run a sed command to append a line after the first line on a set of files. i tried this: find . -type f -iname '*.tex' -depth 2 -exec sed "" '1a\ test' * {} + ..doesn't work :(
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: I gave you the PPA to install that....
[13:08] <myhero_> n after ./cofigure its not soing make or makeinstall
[13:08] <myhero_> yes
[13:09] <akappa> myhero_,  it depends on its content. anyway, as they already told you, it's better to install deb packages, especially if you don't understand what is a tarball
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: its 3 commands, one to add the PPA, the other to update, the other to install the app just like you do ANY other applicatin#
[13:09] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i question adding PPAs or compiling source on a LiveCD... seems like a lot of effort for something so temporary.  myhero_
[13:09] <jrib> somebody__: run it on one file first instead of all files.  And "doesn't work" is too vague.
[13:09] <io> zykotick9: I suggested a virtual machine around 58 minutes ago, I gave up
[13:09] <myhero_> k but its not working then whats wrong ?
[13:09] <akappa> myhero_,  uninstalling and upgrading can range in difficulty from hard to impossible, and that thing could conflict with something provided by ubuntu
[13:10] <somebody__> jrib, point taken. will try one file first. brb
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: can you give the output of the commands on the guide I gave, use http://pastie.org
[13:10] <myhero_> k
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: 'not working' tells us nothing at all
[13:10] <myhero_> k
[13:11] <k013> hi please thoughts on making flickering login screen stop!
[13:11] <myhero_> how to copy all terminal output to pastie ? i tried copying but its not copyying with ctrl+c
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> k013: did you reboot ok?
[13:11] <akappa> myhero_, just use the middleclick
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: use right click -> copy
[13:11] <k013> reboot done but flicker no sto
[13:12] <k013> i mean stop
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: or CTRL+SHIFT+C
[13:12] <myhero_> k
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> k013: does it flicker on the login screen too?
[13:12] <k013> yes yes absolutely, can't see and click anything!
[13:12] <somebody__> jrib, same problem. it displays the entire content of the file (as if using cat or sed -n)
[13:13] <jrib> somebody__: right.  If you want to actually write to a file, you use -i.  But note your syntax in find seems wrong.  I'm not sure why you have a '*'
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> k013: does it flicker in CTRL+ALT+F1 too?
[13:13] <k013> yes yes absolutely, in ctrl+alt+f1 too!
[13:14] <somebody__> jrib, i'll try -i . the * in the end was for writing to all files..that isn't how it's done, is it?
[13:15] <jrib> somebody__: you're already asking find to go through each file matching the parameters you gave and execute a command on the file found.  Try putting an "echo find" instead of "find" in your command and you should get a clearer picture of what's going on
[13:15] <jrib> somebody__: also, don't use -i until you're sure the sed command is doing what you want :)
[13:16] <somebody__> jrib, the find commad works fine. used it before for find and replace with sed. can't get append after line number with sed to work now..
[13:16] <somebody__> oh and i'm working with a copy of my actual files of course :)
[13:16] <jrib> somebody__: yes, you find the right things but don't execute the correct command to do what you want; thus my suggestion
[13:17] <kripz> how can i rebind my mouse buttons to make it for example, type the letter h when left clicked?
[13:17] <proxnum> im trying to reinstall bind in 10.0.4 and after i install it from source it apepars all of the links are broken. does that mean i need to specify directories where bind should install ?
[13:18] <somebody__> jrib, yes. i'm trying now on one file only but for sed -i "" '1 a\?test'\ test.tex i'm getting error message "sed: -i may not be used with stdin
[13:18] <somebody__> "
[13:18] <jrib> kripz: you can use xbindkeys (with « xvkbd -xsendevent -text DESCRIPTION_OF_KEY_HERE » as the command)
[13:18] <thomedy> isnt the 12.04 lts almost ready
[13:18] <thomedy> i am eager to use the new one but i need lts with out a doubt
[13:18] <jrib> somebody__: why are you passing "" (seems useless) and why are you escaping the space before "test.tex"?
[13:19] <k013> thomedy - april 26
[13:19] <somebody__> jrib RL is forcing me  afk. i'll be back in an hour and gna keep trying then
[13:19] <somebody__> jrib i'll correct htat real quick
[13:19] <jrib> somebody__: RL?
[13:19] <jrib> somebody__: never mind.
[13:19] <somebody__> real life
[13:19] <jrib> i thought RL was forcing you to put the "" and escape the space :)
[13:19] <thomedy> im very excited
[13:20] <somebody__> jrib it worked without \, nice
[13:20] <somebody__> jrib thanks a lot
[13:20] <Sidewinder> thomedy, 12.04 release 4/26..
[13:21] <k013> would it be helpful if i repost my question, just asking!
[13:21] <jrib> somebody__: no problem
[13:21] <thomedy> im kind of excited about it... i have been using the 11.1 non lts and it can be irritating but i have installed ubuntu so many times im just done
[13:21] <jrib> !repeat | k013
[13:22] <thomedy> so when 12.04 comes.. i am going to rock it hard
[13:22] <jpounet> bonjour
[13:22] <k013> ok ok ubottu and jrib - i won't repost!
[13:22] <thomedy> bonjour  jpounet.. ju suiss ... ummmm learning french
[13:22] <jrib> k013: erm.  What I want that to say is: yes, you should repeat after waiting about 5-10 minutes (depending on how busy the channel is); please don't just say "help me" and refer to the question without re-asking.  irc has 0-line memory unless you are actively having a conversation (by highligting) with someone

[13:22] <cypher-neo> Where did ActionParsnip go?

[13:28] <jim_> Can anyone answer this question: if I install the 12.04 beta now, when the real 12.04 is out, can I just use apt-get update and upgrade, instead of downloading and installing again?

[13:29] <myhero_> whatever but m a noob

[13:30] <LjL> simonsays1980: in your home, ~/
[13:30] <d[-_-]b> myhero_, when you generally get errors like that, i find its just some sort of devel / dev package missing, apt-cache search dbus may put you on the right track. Not sure if that is ubuntu friendly though
[13:30] <jrib> simonsays1980: ~/.bashrc is the usual location for your user's bashrc
[13:31] <k013> ok jrib - about getting the grub menu, which button to press? and when exactly, cause i know if i reach flicker screen, i'm dead!

[13:45] <angs> I would like to copy and paste to a folder on GUI, but I can not do it, it says access is denied. How can I become root for the GUI interface and how can switch my mood to a normal user when I copy the files?
[13:45] <jrib> angs: what folder?
[13:45] <angs> some files from dekstop to /var/www
[13:46] <jrib> angs: you can use « gksudo nautilus » but I'd suggest setting up a group like www-editors, giving it access to /var/www and adding your user to it...
[13:46] <troulouliou_dev> i mean is this a know problem ?
[13:46] <curiousx> aloha all
[13:47] <angs> how can I set access for myself for /var/www?

[13:48] <zykotick9> troulouliou_dev: do you know, are you using the propritary driver or nouveau?
[13:48] <jeek> fixx: You can try the --nodeps flag with apt-get.
[13:48] <jeek> Or download the package and install it using dpkg with the option --ignore-depends.
[13:48] <troulouliou_dev> zykotick9, propritary
[13:50] <Lantizia> Is unzip a command already available without need to install on ubuntu?
[13:50] <Duality> is ssh vpn possible?
[13:51] <troulouliou_dev> zykotick9, version 173
[13:51] <troulouliou_dev> zykotick9, but weird i can not find the nvidia control panel anymore
[13:52] <fidel> troulouliou_dev: nvidia-settings ?
[13:52] <curiousx> troulouliou_dev: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:52] <troulouliou_dev> no it is not available anymore
[13:52] <troulouliou_dev> i mean nvidia-settings , diseppeared
[13:52] <fidel> troulouliou_dev: using the official nv-driver or another one?
[13:53] <troulouliou_dev> official
[13:53] <angs> I have a webserver in my network and it has a private IP which start with 192.168. How can I access the to http interface of the server as I access in the network as http://192.168.x.x?
[13:53] <fidel> i do run the nv-290 from the nv-page and do have nvidia-settings
[13:53] <troulouliou_dev> from system-> additional driver ...
[13:53] <curiousx> angs: in a browser type: 127.0.0.1
[13:53] <troulouliou_dev> i m downloading the post-release update , will see if that resolve the problem
[13:54] <airlynx> Hi there, I'm trying to get a USB HDD working on my PS3, which requires it to be formatted to FAT32, which I did using the Disk Utility in Ubuntu, however I just noticed that the Partition type was never changed so with the disk mounted I clicked "Edit Partition" and changed it to FAT32 (0x0c) but now it's tied up the device for the past 20 minutes, should I be concerned?
[13:54] <fidel> angs: could you try to rephrase that question?
[13:54] <troulouliou_dev> ha ok nvidia-settings is a sepeate package now
[13:56] <zykotick9> troulouliou_dev: does 173 say recommended in additional drivers?
[13:56] <troulouliou_dev> zykotick9, yes
[13:57] <dysoco> will 14Gb be enough for an Ubuntu install + some WebDev tools ?
[13:57] <zykotick9> troulouliou_dev: humm.  sorry my google-fu must be weak today - i'm not find anything relevant :(  Best of luck man!
[13:57] <angs> I installed a webserver on ubuntu and I copied index files etc to /etc/www. so I can access the webpage by typing the IP address of the server in my browser (http://192.168.x.x), and my computer and server are in the same network. How can I access to the webserver in another network, http://real.ip:port?
[13:57] <airlynx> nevermind, it just timed out, lol
[13:57] <troulouliou_dev> the only thing that i have changed is that i had to switch from openjdk to oracle one due to some incompatibility with a work application
[13:58] <fidel> angs: port-forwarding most likely
[13:58] <troulouliou_dev> and so i also changed the java plugin for firefix with update-alternative
[13:58] <schnuffle> angs: ypu mean you copied them to /var/www?
[13:58] <troulouliou_dev> but i don't think this is related to youtube screen flickering
[13:58] <fidel> angs: as i am curious: what kind of webserver is that if you put the index files in /etc/www?
[13:58] <fidel> angs: /etc/www sounds heavily wrong
[13:58] <angs> apache http server
[13:59] <fidel> angs: /etc/apache should then contain the config ...and nothing more
[13:59] <fidel> usualy
[13:59] <schnuffle> angs: if you mean you want people on the internet to be able to see your pages, you need a portforwarding from port 80 of your router to your machine
[13:59] <angs> how can I check if there is already such setting?
[14:00] <schnuffle> angs: what setting?
[14:00] <fidel> angs: try to use full sentences ;)
[14:00] <angs> if portforwarding is already set?
[14:00] <fidel> angs: login to the router and check for user-defined rules
[14:00] <schnuffle> angs: login to yout router and look for something called portforwarding, virtuell server. Depenfs on the type of router you have
[14:01] <angs> I dont have access to the router :)
[14:01] <fidel> angs: then contact your local admin
[14:01] <angs> ok thanks a lot
[14:01] <fidel> and let him check your apache settings as well ...if he has the time
[14:03] <airlynx> revised question, what's the best way to format an external USB HDD to FAT32 with Ubuntu, to include the filesystem and the partition type (just tried again with disk unmounted and it timed out again)
[14:06] <banermatt> hi all
[14:06] <alo21> hi all
[14:06] <banermatt> Is their a way to know the size of a .tgz before decompress it?
[14:06] <alo21> where all drivers are located in Ubuntu?
[14:07] <kexanie> excuse me. .
[14:07] <kexanie> I've got a big problem here, can anybody help ?
[14:07] <kexanie> my google chrome doesn't work
[14:07] <jeek> banermatt: gunzip filename.tgz|wc
[14:07] <schnuffle> !anyone | kexanie
[14:08] <kexanie> I opened it ,and it closed immediately
[14:08] <kubblai> airlynx: try fdisk -l with it plugged in, then follow this article http://www.zorge.net/?p=22 changing the relevand /sdX part
[14:08] <kexanie> and I run it in terminal, it shows "Segmentation fault"
[14:08] <zykotick9> airlynx: fyi you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything.  kubblai
[14:08] <kexanie> I google for a long time ,but didn't get any useful info
[14:09] <airlynx> kubblai, zykotick9: thank you
[14:09] <kubblai> yeah forgot sudo airlynx thanks zykotick9
[14:09] <schnuffle> kexanie: earlier in this channel someone mentioned there's a kernel problem
[14:10] <kexanie> can anybody help ?
[14:10] <kexanie> sorry, but how to solve it ?
[14:10] <kexanie> is it a bug ? or something else ?
[14:11] <banermatt> jeek: no I don't want to decompress it
[14:11] <schnuffle> kexanie: start with an older kernel and see if it solves the problem
[14:11] <compdoc> kexanie, thats a crash. do you have some sort of program installed that changes the appearance of your system?
[14:12] <zykotick9> banermatt: wc wouldn't have worked anyways...  i'm not sure what you want is possible, is there metadata for gz (i'm not sure)?
[14:12] <kexanie> no,but I install some upgrades before
[14:12] <kexanie> I don't think that matters
[14:13] <banermatt> zykotick9: I don't have enougth free space on my hd to decompress it
[14:13] <schnuffle> kexanie: can you paste output of uname -r
[14:13] <kexanie> sorry , err ,what is "kernel " ? does it means an older version of my system ?
[14:13] <kexanie> "3.0.0-18-generic"  thx . .
[14:14] <kexanie> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10
[14:14] <banermatt> for example an algo which do what I need: decompress one file f, total_size += du f
[14:14] <compdoc> on the mailing list, thee are ppl saying 3.0.0-18 is causing problems
[14:14] <schnuffle> kexanie: -18 has the problem, restart with left shift and then chosse an older kernel from the list and recheck chrome
[14:14] <compdoc> there
[14:14] <banermatt> Is it possible so I don't know if it is implemented
[14:14] <banermatt> It is possible*
[14:15] <kexanie> okay ,I will try it now.
[14:15] <kexanie> just wait a minute
[14:16] <opalepatrick> has anyone any idea where the global inbox option for thunderbird 11  is in 11.10 unity (64)
[14:16] <andrunix> is there a way to get sudo to recognize aliaes defined in my .bash_aliases?
[14:17] <schnuffle> andrunix: how about to put the in /root/.bashaliases?
[14:18] <andrunix> schnuffle: i could do that i guess. does that make them "global" or just for root?
[14:18] <denysonique> [1]    7277 segmentation fault  chromium-browser -- Ubuntu 11.10
[14:18] <schnuffle> andrunix: just root
[14:18] <denysonique> How can I fix this?
[14:19] <schnuffle> denysonique: start with an older kernel than  3.0.0-18
[14:19] <denysonique> why? is there a bug?
[14:19] <andrunix> schnuffle: is there a way to make aliases global? so I only have to define them onece
[14:19] <andrunix> once
[14:19] <schnuffle> denysonique: apparently
[14:20] <compdoc> denysonique, seems so
[14:20] <denysonique> Where is the bug reported btw?
[14:20] <compdoc> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/972821
[14:20] <compdoc> thats one
[14:20] <scialex> andrunix: you could edit /ect/bash.bashrc and add them there if you want them to be global
[14:20] <schnuffle> andrunix: you can place it in /etc/skel so that every new user gets it. Or place it in /etc/profile
[14:21] <andrunix> good suggestions guys. thanks.
[14:21] <denysonique> thanks guys
[14:21] <denysonique> is not using the proposed software source much safer than using it?
[14:21] <denysonique> in terms of having a flowless system
[14:21] <schnuffle> scialex: is there a /etc/bash.rc?
[14:21] <airlynx> just about got it done now, but had a panic attack cuz someone else drank all the coffee, but using GParted does the same thing as mkdosfs on the HDD, I can see that it's setting the partition type to FAT32 (I'm a GUI addict, sorry, but thanks for the point in the right direction, kubblai)
[14:22] <denysonique> flawless*
[14:22] <Defusal> hi everyone
[14:22] <schnuffle> denysonique: the bug was reported in here for 3 times already
[14:23] <kexanie> schnuffle,I am back
[14:23] <compdoc> yikes
[14:23] <schnuffle> kexanie: and does it work now?
[14:23] <kexanie> I try it on gnome3,and gnome classic .
[14:23] <scialex> schnuffle: yes, it is /etc/bash.bashrc
[14:23] <kexanie> but it just doesn't work
[14:23] <schnuffle> scialex: cool didn't know that
[14:24] <kexanie> on gnome classic it works for a few seconds, but closed then
[14:24] <schnuffle> kexanie: which kernel are you running now? uname -r
[14:24] <opalepatrick> any ideas ^^
[14:24] <kexanie> 3.0.0-18-generic
[14:24] <Defusal> i had a live session running off a usb drive, i then used "sudo fuser -cuk /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock" as per a suggestion on askubuntu.com and now everything has ended and my live sessions green has a static console cursor in the top left corner of the screen. does anyone know how i can get my gui back without rebooting?
[14:24] <scialex> schnuffle: you might want to edit /etc/profile though if you want it to work on more then just bash
[14:24] <Defusal> s/green/screen
[14:25] <schnuffle> kexanie: so you rebooted to the same kernel, of course the problem still is present. Can't choose something lower then 3.0.0-18 maybe 3.0.0-17?
[14:25] <Defusal> dammit, im so angry with myself now, i should have just left apt broken and still had a working machine :(
[14:25] <kexanie>  oh ,but how to reboot to a different kernel ?
[14:25] <Defusal> if anyone has any idea, please let me know
[14:26] <schnuffle> scialex: hat was my suggestion as I didn't know that there's a global bash.rc in ubuntu
[14:26] <CharminTheMoose> I'm running ubuntu 11.04 in a vm and set my login to be busybox's static-sh. When in the static-sh, if I do something disasterous like, remove /lib and /usr/lib, none of the 'built-in' commands in the static-sh work anymore. Why's this happening?
[14:26] <denysonique> kexanie: If it is not present at the bootloader then you may downgrade by disabling the poposed software source
[14:26] <schnuffle> kexanie: you boot holding down the shift key and then you should get a list to choose from
[14:26] <kexanie> it's kinda strange because it works well a few hours ago
[14:27] <schnuffle> kexanie: the update just cam out
[14:27] <denysonique> btw
[14:27] <denysonique> can't the update be reverted?
[14:27] <denysonique> the proposed software source fixed?
[14:27] <denysonique> to not yet include the newest kernel?
[14:27] <schnuffle> CharminTheMoose:  I just guess but even busbox will need libc?
[14:28] <denysonique> s/newest/linux 3.0.18
[14:28] <schnuffle> denysonique:  if downgrade soves the problem you can set another kernel as defaultg
[14:28] <denysonique> ok
[14:29] <denysonique> but, why the devs won't fix this in the repo?
[14:29] <denysonique> if it crashes 100% users chromium?
[14:29] <CharminTheMoose> schnuffle, but the busybox executable is not dynamically linked, according to ldd. :/
[14:29] <kexanie> schnuffle: I will try
[14:29] <airlynx> okay, so for future reference the Disk Utility in Ubuntu will reformat a filesystem without reformatting the partition itself
[14:30] <schnuffle> CharminTheMoose: And arent't the kernel modules under /lib as well?
[14:30] <CharminTheMoose> schnuffle, yep, they are. I'm just testing 'worst case' scenarios here. :P
[14:33] <schnuffle> denysonique:  because the bug jsut appeared
[14:36] <kexanie> well  .. It workds
[14:36] <kexanie> thanks ..but why doesn't it works on -18 ?
[14:37] <schnuffle> kexanie: Fine, so 2 things you can do, change the default kernel to the one working or do boot manual as you did as long as there's no bug
[14:37] <schnuffle> kexanie:  Becasue there seems to be a bug
[14:38] <schnuffle> kexanie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/972821
[14:38] <kexanie> but how to change the kernel ? I want it to start -17 when the system start ?
[14:38] <compdoc> kexanie, Im sure they'll get it all fixed soon
[14:39] <kexanie> hope so , thanks
[14:39] <schnuffle> kexanie:  edit /etc/default/grub, change  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=1 and run update-grub

[14:41] <casualX> I have problem connecting to apache from local network...from localhost I can connect to 127.0.0.1 and local ip in my case 192.168.1.2 but not from other machine...firewall is set up ok
[14:43] <alp> Hello
[14:43] <airlynx> okay, next question, is there a faster way to copy 150 GB of data from one UBS HDD to another other than just copying the files en masse?
[14:43] <alp> Any ideas how to redirect all network traffic to Tor?
[14:43] <airlynx> *USB
[14:43] <alp> Any ideas how to redirect all network traffic to Tor?
[14:44] <andrewaclt> alp, I don't know what I'm talking about but it seems like you'd run tor on your  router.
[14:45] <alp> andrewaclt, there is other people using my router, i need to do it locally
[14:45] <andrewaclt> ah, so not all traffic heh
[14:46] <alp> yes, only the traffic on my computer
[14:46] <andrewaclt> Just run tor on your computer?
[14:46] <alp> how?
[14:47] <Mkaysi> alp: point http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables to tor in /etc/environment
[14:47] <alp> okay
[14:47] <mi3> hello !
[14:47] <alp> but isn't tor a socks proxy?
[14:47] <taxman> get a freesbie live cd, it has built-in tor
[14:47] <andrewaclt> alp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor
[14:48] <sauce> is there a chan for ubuntu server ?
[14:48] <LjL> sauce: #ubuntu-server
[14:48] <mi3> I downloaded some youtube videos with youtube-dl and noticed that I get extremely high download speeds, can I download regular files with youtube-dl?
[14:48] <sauce> why did i not think of that
[14:48] <sauce> thanks
[14:49] <Kaizen> Can anyone see any mistakes in this startup script?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/914620/ when the system boots up the script starts the process but i can't stop / start it after that and the startup script process itself remains running
[14:49] <Mkaysi> alp: You can tell Polipo to use tor as parent proxy and point http_proxy and https_proxy to Polipo
[14:49] <alp> ok Mkaysi, thats what i was thinking, thank you, brb
[14:49] <hatch> after rebooting 10.04 all I get now is a blinking cursor and then the monitors go into powersave mode
[14:49] <Mkaysi> You're welcome :)
[14:50] <tanath> anyone have experience with custom actions in clipman? commands fail to write to file with >
[14:51] <hatch> has anyone run into that issue before?
[14:51] <hatch> It's pretty hard to do anything with no monitors :)
[14:52] <tanath> hatch, try editing the kernel parameters. 'e' at grub
[14:53] <hatch> tanath: ok so when grub boots up I hit e
[14:53] <hatch> then what do I edit?
[14:53] <tanath> as to what you need, i don't know. in my experience, removing parameters usually helps :P
[14:53] <casualX> maybee bind tor to a local ip will help...I didnt use it for a long time ago...let me check
[14:54] <hatch> tanath: hah ok I can give that a try
[14:54] <tanath> hatch, e edits whichever line you have selected
[14:55] <casualX> have a look here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en at the ControlListenAddress  you can set the ip adrerss so no one except your lan can use your tor
[14:56] <alp> I feel like I am screwed. My brain has stopped working
[14:57] <tanath> anyone know why > fails to work in clipman custom actions?
[14:57] <tanath> i think it fails in thunar too
[14:58] <bencc2> how can I find the package that has rfb/Configuration.h ?
[15:00] <llutz_> !find rfb/Configuration.h
[15:01] <bencc2> llutz_: that's bad :)
[15:03] <casualX> is anyone here who knows about apache in oneiric?
[15:04] <i7c> casualX: what do you wanna know?
[15:04] <alp> OK, from scratch.
[15:04] <haux> In the Window Manage settings, where you can adjust the positioning of the title buttons (close, maximize, minimize), can anyone here tell me what the "stick" button does?
[15:05] <haux> It's a little circle.
[15:05] <casualX> I have a problem, I installed it and cant connect from other machines in lan...cause prevent external access I set Fw to allow local connections and bind the server to a local adress but still cant connect
[15:05] <haux> *Manager
[15:05] <auronandace> haux: it puts the window on all desktops (workspaces)
[15:06] <alp> Ok, what should I put for proxyAdress? My router? 192.168.1.1?
[15:06] <haux> Oh I see. Now that I change workspaces it shows up... didn't see it at first.
[15:06] <i7c> casualX: check with netstat -l   if it really binds to your local address. is the address right?
[15:06] <haux> I guess that explains why it's a hidden option by default. useless to most people
[15:06] <casualX> yes
[15:06] <casualX> I check
[15:07] <alp> casualX, in polipo config, for proxyAdress, what should I put?
[15:07] <i7c> casualX: well if it is then it must be a firewall issue
[15:07] <reach> how do i create a account for irc
[15:08] <alp> Can anyone send me a valid polipo config?
[15:08] <zykotick9> !register | reach
[15:08] <alp> I have no idea what I am doing
[15:08] <bazhang> reach /join #freenode for help with registering
[15:09] <casualX> alp The variable proxyAddress, defines the IP address on which Polipo will listen; by default, its value is the loopback address "127.0.0.1", meaning that Polipo will listen on the IPv4 loopback interface (the local host) only. By setting this variable to a global IP address or to one of the special values "::" or "0.0.0.0", it is possible to allow Polipo to serve remote clients. This is likely to be a security hole unless you set allowed
[15:09] <casualX> Clients to a reasonable value
[15:09] <nikolja> pozdrav
[15:09] <llutz_> alp: torporject.org/docs
[15:10] <llutz_> project* even
[15:14] <mirak> hi
[15:14] <mirak> how can i know the block size of the ext4 file system ?
[15:14] <casualX> alp have a look at here I think this is a good manual http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/polipo.html
[15:15] <haux> Does anyone know how to modify the resolution of ubuntu's "loading" screen, such as the one that shows when you're loading or at the beginning of a reboot.
[15:19] <wmorri> haux: have a look at this link. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customize-boot-splash-screen-logo-linux/
[15:20] <casualX> sorry but apache2 on ubuntu server sucks...never had problems like this before...there is something wrong with the package
[15:20] <casualX> maybee i get back to debian for server
[15:20] <wmorri> casualX: what is the problem are you having?
[15:21] <haux> Thanks wmorri
[15:21] <wmorri> haux: no problem
[15:21] <i7c> casualX: i don't think it's your apache. i installed it and changed nothing in the confs and it already listens to all addresses
[15:21] <casualX> still cant connect from other machine and turned off firewall and bind to other port and tried many many many
[15:22] <casualX> what can I do?
[15:23] <llutz_> casualX: check "sudo lsof -i :80" "sudo iptables -vL"
[15:23] <alp> ok, I installed polipo, what is wrong with this line:chromium-browser --proxy-server="http://localhost:8123"
[15:23] <alp> what should I put instead of localhost?
[15:23] <alp> 192.168.1.1?
[15:23] <alp> a8le?
[15:23] <casualX> I tried when turn off firewall its not that prblem
[15:23] <alp> *facepalm*
[15:23] <shadow98> what is the best remote desktop to use for latest ubuntu..i have been running 10 for a while because when i went to 11.04 it was so lagging even when turrning off all the desktop enhancements...this was using built in VNC..
[15:24] <krautguy> hi, why do i have a process called "zeitgeist-daemon" in my system.. what does he do?
[15:24] <krautguy> its ubuntu 11.10
[15:24] <shadow98> i am running 11.10
[15:24] <i7c> krautguy: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/zeitgeist-daemon.1.html
[15:25] <alp> chromium-browser --proxy-server="http://localhost:8123"
[15:25] <krautguy> oh thanks :)
[15:25] <alp> when I do this chromium gives an error
[15:25] <reach> alp: me too
[15:25] <comunistu> indicator-weather dont work corectly on ubuntu 10.04.why?
[15:26] <alp> reach: What do you put for localhost? or literally write localhost?
[15:27] <wmorri> alp: you can type localhost, or enter 127.0.0.1
[15:27] <reach> alp: google.com
[15:27] <alp> Error 130 (net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED): Proxy server connection failed.
[15:27] <i7c> alp: remove the http://
[15:28] <i7c> alp: localhost:8123   should do it
[15:28] <casualX> thx for talking guys...have a nice day
[15:28] <casualX> bye
[15:28] <alp> chromium-browser --proxy-server="192.168.1.1:8123"
[15:28] <alp> it doesnt work still
[15:28] <alp> same error
[15:29] <i7c> alp: yeh cuz your proxy might only listen to localhost
[15:29] <alp> ok
[15:29] <i7c> alp: you can literally write localhost or if you dont like it 127.0.0.1
[15:29] <alp> chromium-browser --proxy-server="localhost:8123"
[15:29] <alp> same error
[15:29] <i7c> stupid question but the proxy surely runs?
[15:30] <alp> i did : sudo /etc/init.d/polipo start
[15:31] <i7c> alp: type the following in terminal:  netstat -l | grep "8123"
[15:31] <alp> i7c: no output
[15:32] <alp> I didn't touched polipo config.
[15:32] <i7c> alp: means that something is wrong with your proxy. it doesn't listen to where you expect it to listen.
[15:32] <alp> should i?
[15:33] <i7c> alp: check first if the process is running.
[15:33] <comunistu> why indicator-weather dont work corectly on ubuntu 10.04?
[15:33] <alp> Done its working!
[15:34] <alp> IP seems to be different, its working now, netstat gives the output too.
[15:34] <i7c> yay :)
[15:35] <alp> Now, I have to redirect all my traffic to polipo, including flash and javascript, I am on LXDE
[15:35] <alp> Where is the global network proxy settings?
[15:36] <alp> thank you ic7
[15:36] <alp> i7c*
[15:36] <i7c> alp: your welcome.
[15:36] <ashif> hi anybody know about linux kernel programmming
[15:37] <Nephro> ashif, I assume someone in #kernel does
[15:37] <i7c> alp: do     export http_proxy=http://my.proxy:3128
[15:37] <liron_> i need help to formmating my computer im in GPARTED during the installation
[15:37] <i7c> with localhost and your port for sure ;)
[15:37] <liron_> i have 3 giga rams and i need to choose swap
[15:38] <liron_> how much swap do i need and it need to be primary or logical when ask?
[15:38] <i7c> liron_: half your ram should be enough.
[15:38] <liron_> ok and in the installation it need to be primary or logical?
[15:38] <alp> liron, i recommend logical
[15:39] <liron_> ok
[15:39] <liron_> thank you
[15:39] <liron_> and the primary partition need to be all what is free space?
[15:39] <liron_> after choose the swap?
[15:39] <alp> i7c: i did :export http_proxy=http://localhost:8123 is it done now?
[15:39] <liron_> i new on it.. thanks
[15:40] <alp> liron How much GB is your total harddisk, and how many OS you are planning to install?
[15:40] <liron_> 300 gigas
[15:40] <liron_> and i want to format my windows
[15:40] <liron_> i want only ubuntu
[15:41] <i7c> alp: it should normally. but you'd need to verify it maybe.
[15:41] <liron_> and i plan to install on all of it..
[15:41] <dre1220> Hi everyone - I'm using RANCID to grab configs from different vendors. I can grab configs from Cisco IOS/CAT devices and Juniper gear, the problem is getting configs from HP Procurve devices and on Cisco Nexus switches. Can anyone help out?
[15:41] <alp> liron, Don't use all for ubuntu partition
[15:41] <alp> 100gb is enough
[15:41] <liron_> why?
[15:41] <liron_> what about the other?
[15:42] <alp> you can use the rest for storage
[15:42] <liron_> the other 200 GB?
[15:42] <i7c> alp: but take care export only changes the var for the current session. you'll need to add it to some startup script to change it permanently
[15:42] <liron_> store can be on the ubuntu partition?
[15:42] <liron_> it so complicated i think
[15:42] <alp> i7c: got it, thank you.
[15:43] <liron_> ?
[15:43] <liron_> so i can to give all to ubuntu and to use it
[15:43] <liron_> by the way? like in windows?
[15:43] <ZooDirektor> Hi, can someone confirm this --> :(){ :|:&};:        code on bash? (i just have zsh installed)
[15:43] <ZooDirektor> thanks!
[15:44] <alp> liron, I do it like this: 100GB- ubuntu, primary.
[15:44] <alp> 200GB- locigal
[15:44] <llutz_> ZooDirektor: stop that
[15:44] <alp> 2GB of swap in logical
[15:44] <alp> rest is storage
[15:44] <llutz_> !ops | ZooDirektor
[15:44] <alp> thats it
[15:45] <ikonia> thanks llutz_
[15:45] <llutz_> ikonia: np
[15:46] <alp> i7c, the IP seems to be mine in firefox.
[15:46] <i7c> o.O but you installed the proxy on your computer, didn't you, alp?
[15:47] <alp> yes
[15:47] <alp> i did
[15:47] <alp> when I do the same for chromium, it works, but export doesn't work
[15:47] <eye-gor> ikonia: Was that a nasty bit of code?
[15:47] <llutz_> eye-gor: google for bash fork bomb
[15:48] <FrozenMind> llutz_: question, um i am not exactly sure as to why ZooDirektor was kicked, could you explain what his bash was? or was he just a spammer?
[15:48] <llutz_> FrozenMind: google for bash fork bomb
[15:48] <eye-gor> llutz: ok got it
[15:48] <FrozenMind> llutz_: ok thank you :)
[15:48] <alp> Does export http_proxy  work for all apps?
[15:49] <OerHeks> FrozenMind, eye-gor see >> http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?a=54
[15:50] <i7c> alp: normally yes. whats your ff version?
[15:50] <alp> 11.0
[15:50] <FrozenMind> luttz_: 0erHeks: Thank you :) that clears it up :D
[15:51] <alp> it doesn't work on chrome too if I open it normally
[15:51] <alp> its not about just firefox
[15:52] <alp> the export http_proxy doesn't work itself
[15:52] <elijah> Hey guys, I am out of options here, I have been searching for an Ubuntu video I saw 1-2 months ago where they guy was demonstrating Ubuntu One and how he used it to sync local profile stuff across different machines. Has anyone seen this? I forgot exactly what it was about but I know he spent a minute or two on the video if not the whole video.
[15:53] <i7c> alp: mhm which desktop are you on?
[15:54] <liron_> and what u recommended me sda 2 sda 3 or sda 4?
[15:54] <liron_> ? for the fomrattion?
[15:54] <alp> i am on lxde right now, because autokey didnt work with unity, i can switch to unity too
[15:54] <liron_> and i will begin with the format
[15:54] <alp> liron_:it doesnt matter just pick one of them
[15:54] <i7c> liron_: o.O sda2 sda3. aren't these different harddrives?
[15:55] <liron_> yes
[15:55] <liron_> i made a mistake
[15:55] <liron_> i mean like ntfs or fat 32/
[15:55] <alp> i7c: They are different partitions
[15:55] <liron_> i don't remember how it called
[15:55] <liron_> oh ext
[15:55] <i7c> oh yeh partitions i meant.
[15:55] <ooxi> hi, i have a couple of files (~700) which are quite big (500mib - 10gib) and i want to search for a string in all of them. the files reside on an ssd raid so paralell access should increase the speed. what would be the preferred way to execute the search?
[15:55] <liron_> ext 2 or 3 or 4?
[15:55] <i7c> ext4 is nice
[15:55] <alp> 4
[15:55] <liron_> ok
[15:55] <liron_> for the whole hard drive except swap?
[15:55] <alp> and use fat32 for the storage partition
[15:55] <liron_> is it O.K?
[15:55] <icedice> oi
[15:56] <liron_> i don't want store partition thank you..
[15:56] <i7c> liron_: swap doens't have filesystem as far as i'm concerned
[15:56] <liron_> the storge will be the primary partition (sda1)
[15:56] <alp> liron_:you just said you dont want a storage
[15:57] <arcsky> guys i got high load, how can i mange this ? http://pastebin.com/GZpC6LYd
[15:57] <alp> i7c:should I switch to unity? or gnome/openbox?
[15:58] <alp> HEY isaiah
[15:58] <i7c> alp: not necessarily. it's just the the proxy config depends on the DE
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> alp: there is a guide on omgubuntu how to make 11.10 / 12.04 look like gnome2
[15:59] <alp> i7c: what do i do then? export_proxy didnt work
[15:59] <sirknight> hi
[16:00] <i7c> alp: not sure, but i think you can use LXProxy.
[16:01] <sirknight> how do i set up an local ftp on my network
[16:02] <i7c> sirknight: you need to install and setup a ftp server. for example ftpd
[16:02] <Rix> what do i need to write in the terminal to connect to my wifi network withoit password(only ssid) i restarted the rooter but my linux does not recoonect
[16:02] <sirknight> ok i7c
[16:03] <superstraw> So the last adobe flash player update doesn't allow me to view videos any more.  Anyone know the status of this?  Am I SOL?
[16:04] <sirknight> i7c,  by chance do you know how to get one up and running
[16:04] <Duality> any good movie editor?
[16:05] <alp> I am on Ubuntu not Lubuntu how do I apt-get install lxproxy?
[16:05] <ikonia> Steven Speilberg, he's pretty good
[16:05] <ikonia> alp: same as on ubuntu
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> Duality: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/
[16:06] <alp> sudo apt-get install lxproxy
[16:06] <i7c> sirknight: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> alp: its all the same, you can install any app frmo any DE you like :)
[16:06] <alp> unable to locate package lxproxy
[16:06] <Rix> how do i tell my wan0 to recoonect to a ssid?
[16:06] <alp> ?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> !info lxproxy
[16:06] <Rix> wlan*
[16:06] <alp> ubottu: is it impossible?
[16:06] <alp> :)
[16:06] <ikonia> alp: what is the problem ?
[16:07] <alp> ActionParsnip: How do I install?
[16:07] <alp> ikonia: i want to install lxproxy
[16:07] <ikonia> alp: ok - is there a package ?
[16:07] <i7c> ikonia: actually he's just looking for a way to set system proxy on lxde.
[16:07] <ikonia> i7c: really ? then whats this "I want to install" all about ?
[16:08] <mib_mib> hi guys, i'm trying to set up openssh on ubuntu 10.04- i installed openssh via apt-get, then edited the sshd_config file just appending 'AllowUsers myusername' to the end of the file, and restarted it doing sudo restart ssh. When i ssh using myusername@ipaddress, it asks for password 3 times, then it asks me for myusername@ipaddress password, but the password isnt working (i.e. permission denied)
[16:08] <alp> iknia - it says unable to locate package lxproxy
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> alp: lxproxy isn't a package, let me search
[16:08] <alp> ok ActionParnship thanks
[16:08] <ikonia> mib_mib: you don't need to edit "allowusers" variable
[16:08] <dre1220> Has anyone worked with RANCID to pull HP/Nexus configs?
[16:08] <ikonia> mib_mib: it will work with all users out of the box
[16:09] <i7c> ikonia: i gave a hint to lxproxy which is part of lxde i guess. but i dindn't know it doesnt come with lxde already. he maybe needs to recompile lxde which he doesn't want either =)
[16:09] <mib_mib> ikonia: ok, it wasnt working so i added that, but i can remove it - any ideas?
[16:09] <ikonia> i7c: thanks
[16:09] <ikonia> mib_mib: what user are you trying to use
[16:09] <mib_mib> ikonia: there is only one user, and im using it i.e. myusername@ipaddress
[16:09] <sirknight> Duality,  this link is the most rececnt one plus a few extras    http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/top-50-best-linux-apps-2011-1014373
[16:10] <ikonia> mib_mib: are you using ssh keys or just local passwords
[16:10] <alp> I will be back in 10 minutes guys, all of you are very helpful, thank you
[16:10] <mib_mib> ikonia: just local passwords
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> alp: http://lubuntublog.blogspot.co.uk/p/tools.html
[16:10] <ikonia> mib_mib: ok, so look in the security log and see why it won't let you in
[16:10] <ikonia> it sounds like the password is just wrong though
[16:10] <zykotick9> mib_mib: are you using @ipaddress in sshd_config or when you try to login?
[16:10] <mib_mib> ikonia: its just not accepting my password - but its wierd that it just asks for 'password:" three times first, then "username@ipaddress password:"
[16:11] <mib_mib> zykotick9: ssh username@ipaddress is what i am typing
[16:11] <mib_mib> zykotick9: i.e. john@123.123.123.123
[16:11] <sirknight> i need an ftp with a gui.. what do i use
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: ftp what? client or server?
[16:11] <zykotick9> mib_mib: ok, just checking.
[16:11] <sirknight> whats tje differnce
[16:11] <mib_mib> ikonia: where is ssh log?
[16:12] <ikonia> mib_mib: so you have an ssh key in your /home/$username/.ssh directory on the local machine ?
[16:12] <ikonia> mib_mib: /var/log/
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: the client is what the systems use to connect TO the server, the server runs on a system you want to give access to the files
[16:12] <sirknight> i want the compter im on now to be the server.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: ok so you want an FTP server.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: why does it need a GUI?
[16:13] <sirknight> becasue i dont know how to use anything else , and im new to this ftp stuff and web things
[16:14] <rhin0> need foolproof way of settin gup ssh keys xubunt > xubuntu because for some reason with ssh-copy-id and any other method it keeps asking for passphrase (within the bash window ) every time
[16:14] <rhin0> I just don't get it
[16:14] <mib_mib> ikonia: just syslog? or what is the log named
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: best way to learn is to do it without gui dude, you'll learn then
[16:14] <rhin0> I think it's different iwth ubunutu > xubuntu
[16:14] <ikonia> mib_mib: it's normally called "secure" but I don't have an ubuntu box to confirm
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: you can use: sudo apt-get install gadmin-proftpd
[16:14] <ikonia> rhin0: ssh-copy-id does not care about your desktop
[16:15] <rhin0> yes but I copy it and it keeps asking for my passphrase within the bash window
[16:15] <ikonia> rhin0: what do you expect it to do ?
[16:15] <rhin0> with ubuntu it brought up a gui window for passphrase ONCE
[16:15] <rhin0> only once
[16:15] <rhin0> thats the idea -- get rid of password
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: I suggest you try without GUI so that it runs as a service as it should. You will also be able to transfer ability if/when you work on a headless server with no graphical desktop
[16:15] <rhin0> so you don't havfe to type in password on ssh-ing into somehting
[16:15] <ikonia> rhin0: you need to have both the public and private keys in the .ssh directory on the local machine for that to work
[16:15] <rhin0> on the client machine?
[16:15] <ikonia> rhin0: that's ssh-ask-pass that's prompting you and then putting the key into gnome-key-ring manager
[16:16] <mib_mib> ikonia: auth.log?
[16:16] <ikonia> mib_mib: maybe, sounds good
[16:16] <rhin0> well how do I make it permanent ikonia
[16:16] <ikonia> rhin0: make what perminant ?
[16:16] <rhin0> so it doesn't kdeep asking
[16:16] <ikonia> rhin0: what is the desktop you are running on the local machine ?
[16:16] <rhin0> xubuntu
[16:16] <arcsky> how do i kill xorg and gonome?
[16:16] <rhin0> xfce
[16:17] <ikonia> rhin0: I don't know if xubuntu has a keg-manager
[16:17] <ikonia> key
[16:17] <bastidrazor> arcsky: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:18] <arcsky> bastidrazor: how do i check that?
[16:18] <bastidrazor> arcsky: lsb_release -d
[16:18] <sirknight> ActionParsnip,  i have ubuntu on this computer , but windows on everything else i work with..  i also heard samba is good with file sharing  across many things..  imm tired of using a flash drive pc to pc..
[16:18] <arcsky>  Ubuntu 10.10
[16:19] <bastidrazor> arcsky: sudo service gdm stop
[16:19] <arcsky> bastidrazor: can you maybe help me and find out why i got so high load?
[16:20] <arcsky> bastidrazor: http://pastebin.com/GZpC6LYd
[16:20] <mib_mib> ikonia: nothing showed up in /var/log/auth.log when i ssh'd. I did ssh -v and the reason it said password 3 times is becuase it was trying my other id_dsa and id_rsa keys that i use for ssshing into seperate boxes
[16:20] <ikonia> mib_mib: which is why I asked if you had anything in .ssh
[16:20] <sirknight> ActionParsnip, why is that
[16:20] <mib_mib> ikonia: but still not working
[16:20] <mib_mib> ikonia: ah ok
[16:20] <OysterCult> I don't have a degree in computer science. I had a cable that needed to have a module put into the kernal for it to run. Where does one learn about this stuff?
[16:21] <ikonia> mib_mib: so that makes sense, it tries and fails your key password, then falls back to the local password
[16:21] <mib_mib> ikonia: yah
[16:21] <bastidrazor> arcsky: i have no clue.
[16:21] <mib_mib> ikonia: so any ideas?
[16:22] <bastidrazor> arcsky: 8 zombie processes looks a bit odd.
[16:22] <ikonia> mib_mib: if it's  not logging you in, it just sounds like a wrong password
[16:22] <arcsky> bastidrazor: how do i check for more info about them?
[16:23] <opalepatrick> is it not possible to have a global inbox in thunderbird? Using ubuntu 11.10 (64) unity. Cannot find the setting
[16:23] <rhin0>  have xubuntu client xubuntu server now and my standard way of setting up ssh (ssh-keygen then ssh-copy-id) .. when I then ssh into the server it keeps asking for the passphrase right after the ssh command (within bash) .. on ubuntu client I was asked ONCE for keyring password ... anyone?
[16:23] <ikonia> rhin0: research key-managers for xfce, see if there is one
[16:23] <rhin0> ok thanks ikonia
[16:24] <ikonia> rhin0: you could look at installing the gnome libraries and gnome-keyring manager
[16:24] <ikonia> rhin0: that's quite an overkill solution
[16:24] <mib_mib> ikonia: its not a wrong password thou, for sure...
[16:24] <ikonia> mib_mib: I believe you
[16:24] <ikonia> mib_mib: for a test - just move your other keys out of .ssh for a test
[16:24] <rhin0> i think gnome-keyring rings a bell
[16:24] <alp> i am back
[16:24] <rhin0> been here before
[16:24] <alp> any solutions about lxproxy?
[16:25] <ikonia> mib_mib: it looks like /var/log/secure is not setup in the syslog config by default, what does the syslog show ?
[16:26] <alp> then what about configuring flash to use polipo? is it possible?
[16:27] <Brondoman> quick questino
[16:28] <Brondoman> Quick question:  anyone have any good links to help with Ubuntu 12.04 and (U)EFI bios?  I have Windows 8 preview installed on my primary SSD and installed 12.04 B2 in another partition on the same drive.  The installer says it installed GRUB but when I reboot I go straight into Windows 8 with no Grub menu at all
[16:29] <mib_mib> ikonia: i copied them out of .ssh but its still trying them? wierd..
[16:29] <ratcheer> Brondoman: Not specific to Ubuntu, but there is excellent info on dealing with UEFI at http://www.rodsbooks.com
[16:30] <alp> bump
[16:30] <alp> bump
[16:30] <alp> then what about configuring flash to use polipo? is it possible?
[16:30] <FloodBot1> alp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:31] <Brondoman> Thanks.  I'll follow the link.
[16:31] <mib_mib> ikonia: syslog doesnt show anything... how do i set up ssh log?
[16:32] <opalepatrick> anyone using thunderbird with global inbox?
[16:32] <ikonia> mib_mib: you have to define it in the syslog
[16:33] <ikonia> mib_mib: looks like it's the /var/log/auth file on ubuntu, but you say that's not getting updated
[16:33] <mib_mib> ikonia: yeah...
[16:33] <olala22010> /exit
[16:33] <olala22010> exit
[16:34] <mib_mib> ikonia: ah man i feel like a retard... i think i was using the wrong ip address....
[16:34] <ikonia> mib_mib: silly silly
[16:34] <mib_mib> ikonia: because there is a vpn... thanks for your help..
[16:35] <ikonia> mib_mib: no problem
[16:36] <rhin0> ikonia -- ssh-add
[16:36] <rhin0> it was
[16:36] <ikonia> rhin0: that won't last for ever
[16:36] <ikonia> rhin0: that's ssh - not desktop
[16:36] <ikonia> you wanted a gui thing didn't you ?
[16:37] <mib_mib> ikonia: you're a great help - thanks a bunch for helping me.
[16:38] <prodnix> Hi guys, come to pick your brains. Wat in your opinion is the best storage solution for integrity and availability?
[16:39] <Xabster> for computer stuff I'd say a harddisk
[16:39] <Xabster> you can get them everywhere
[16:39] <EvilResistance> prodnix:  what's your setup case?  multiple users cross-network accessing the storage, or single computer accessing it?
[16:40] <prodnix> hehe, im talkin serious industrial grade. I am thinkin about using a ombination ox xen VMs AoE and LVM.
[16:40] <prodnix> oops, a combination of*
[16:41] <jhattara> on an ubuntu server i'd need to redirect all network traffic going out to A.A.A.A redirected to B.B.B.B, i guess iptables is the program to use, but i have no idea of the options i'd need to use, any help ?
[16:43] <prodnix> I have a rather large network, I have 2 xen servers runnin a few VMs, a few laptops and other stuff. Im looking for redundancy and availability
[16:43] <yubahaq> http://ubuntuwd.com/vb/forum.php
[16:45] <ratcheer> prodnix: I used to do all that a few years ago. My knowledge is probably obsolete. We did RAID 10 with the mirrors in separate physical arrays. Each array had dual controllers, dual power supplies, and multi-pathing software to maximize performance. This was in the Solaris world.
[16:45] <kermit> how do i stop ubuntu from changing my mixer settings whenever i plug/unplug headphones?
[16:46] <craigbass1976> I want sun's jre 7 on lucid.  Is there a way with apt, or have I got to grab Oracle's binary?
[16:46] <EvilResistance> !java | craigbass1976
[16:46] <EvilResistance> craigbass1976:  read that link in that message from ubottu
[16:46] <zykotick9> craigbass1976: if you want sun-java, get it from Oracle (from now on)
[16:49] <azert> hello there
[16:50] <DevilSH> P
[16:50] <nightwalker> hi there
[16:50] <azert> after an apt-get install virtualbox, virtualbox not reconizing
[16:50] <azert> USB
[16:50] <azert> hardware is that normal ?
[16:50] <prodnix> i was thinkin about having 4 hdds in 2 xen servers. and sharing all the drives via aoe. then runnin a VM on all 4 drives and using that vm to manage the drives and share data, not sure if anyone can poke a hole in my idea?
[16:51] <craigbass1976> EvilResistance, zykotick9 : http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-oracle-java-jre-7  I'm there but the update-alternatives --config java is giving me "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for java."
[16:51] <philip__> azert, does lsusb shows you the device you're trying to connect?
[16:51] <EvilResistance> craigbass1976:  you're probably not reading the right spot then
[16:51] <craigbass1976> I also see java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4 in the ...../jvm directory
[16:52] <EvilResistance> ah
[16:52] <markoni> I inadvertently deleted the audio volume slider from the panel at the top of the screen and can't find how to retrieve it.
[16:53] <azert> just only my keyboard and the mouse only work, the guest can't view other USB devices
[16:53] <riderplus> markoni: unity?
[16:53] <markoni> What is unity?
[16:53] <zykotick9> !unity
[16:53] <auronandace> !unity | markoni
[16:54] <llutz_> azert: you need the non-free extension from oracle to use virtualbox with USB. the free-versions doesn't support usb
[16:55] <zykotick9> llutz_: that was true with vbox-ose, but with vbox4 isn't usb included?
[16:55] <llutz_> zykotick9: afaik it still needs the extension as an addon
[16:55] <zykotick9> llutz_: i'm sure your right
[16:55] <v0lksman> llutz_: zykotick9 I think it's called something else but it's still an add-on
[16:56] <v0lksman> I think it's just called the VirtualBox Extension Pack
[16:56] <llutz_> v0lksman: thats the name, yes. to be downloaded from virtualbox.org/Downloads
[16:56] <ElGoorf> hi all, having a drama here, following this: http://matharvard.ca/posts/2011/aug/11/git-push-with-specific-ssh-key/ i get "name or service not known" my config:   http://pastebin.com/qsTT3RzK
[16:57] <azert> llutz_: then why it is written this one :
[16:57] <ElGoorf> and then trying: ssh myvps
[16:57] <azert> For Oneiric Ocelot 11.10
[16:57] <azert> Add yourself to the user group vboxusers, then log out and back in, to make use of available USB devices. To do this via the graphical interface, click System Settings/Users and Groups/Manage Groups.
[16:57] <llutz_> azert: idk, i haven't written this
[16:58] <arcsky> if i dont want that gnome starts when i reboot how do i do then?
[16:59] <v0lksman> ElGoorf: sounds like you didn't setup your config right
[16:59] <azert> you not but here it is : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB
[16:59] <v0lksman> ElGoorf: are you sure it's ~/.ssh/config?
[16:59] <ElGoorf> v0lksman: what's wrong with it?
[16:59] <ElGoorf> yup
[16:59] <v0lksman> ElGoorf: perms?
[17:00] <ElGoorf> ah good point
[17:00] <zykotick9> v0lksman: is this "entension pack" something installed inside vbox?  I certainly don't see any packages with a similar name/description.
[17:00] <v0lksman> I can't remember if it's just teh keys that need restricted perms to work or not
[17:00] <myhero> jello u ther
[17:00] <v0lksman> zykotick9: yeah it can be...I think you can download it from the link llutz_ posted
[17:00] <zykotick9> v0lksman: interesting.  thanks :)
[17:01] <llutz_> azert: i really don't care. virtualbox has a free (gpl2) part and a non-free extension for USB-support. if you want to use vbox + usb, you need to get that extension
[17:01] <v0lksman> zykotick9: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads  second chuck down... :)
[17:01] <v0lksman> chuck=chunk
[17:01] <myhero> exit
[17:01] <zykotick9> llutz_: i guess i was mistaken, but i "thought" usb had moved from the non-free to the free part in v4.... to bad really.
[17:01] <myhero> quit
[17:02] <d3m0nk> is beta 2 the final beta before launch?
[17:02] <d3m0nk> unity still sucks :/
[17:02] <llutz_> zykotick9: nope, it can't since there are 3rd party rights on the USB part which prevent it from licensing under GPL (iirc)
[17:02] <zlude> Hey guys! i have a external server with openvpn installed but i need to monitor if the openvpns is running. i cant use telnet because openvpn is running in udp port, some one can help me how to check this port?
[17:03] <DrCode> hi all
[17:03] <auronandace> d3m0nk: isn't it so totally awesome though that you can choose a DE?
[17:03] <v0lksman> any ntpd experts around?  I have vbox images on two different hosts running ntpd...one of them works fine and syncs with remote servers without issue...the other doesn't...I've even copied the conf from the working to the non and it still won't sync...any ideas?
[17:03] <d3m0nk> auronandace, yeah but i was hoping better from ubuntu
[17:04] <DrCode> I have some one that want  me to install apach,php,mysql server and backups, I don't know how much to charge for it , any one have exp in price list?
[17:04] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: what's better than choice?  :)
[17:04] <d3m0nk> v0lksman, true... but the default DE should be the best...
[17:04] <d3m0nk> and right now Gnome3 is much better than Unity
[17:04] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: best according to who?
[17:04] <d3m0nk> :)
[17:04] <DrCode> ubuntu server ofcourse,
[17:05] <d3m0nk> yeah you have a point
[17:05] <v0lksman> :)
[17:05] <caB00T> Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"?
[17:05] <v0lksman> personally I'm with you...Unity is uhmm...lacking...but still useful to some
[17:05] <Praxi> what do other people use to share images/screenshots of error messages?
[17:05] <d3m0nk> maybe I've been too hard to like unity :)
[17:05] <zykotick9> !paste | Praxi screenshot mentioned here
[17:05] <d3m0nk> *(Trying) too hard.
[17:06] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: that's where I'm at...I think I'm just too set in my ways which is actually a terrible thing to realize
[17:06] <Praxi> ty zykotick9
[17:06] <d3m0nk> v0lksman, yeah but I've got used to gnome3 in a matter of weeks since its release...
[17:06] <jedix> anyone have a working way to install gimp 2.8 on ubuntu 11.10?  the ppa repo causes some library issues
[17:06] <ElGoorf> thanks v0lksman
[17:06] <d3m0nk> but still struggling with unity....
[17:06] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: will let you know in a couple weeks when I dive in...hahaha
[17:07] <zykotick9> v0lksman: i'm not sure if it applies to VBox, but running ntpd on VMs with KVM is considered a No-No.  good luck.
[17:07] <riderplus> gnome 3 on oneiric. works fine
[17:07] <d3m0nk> v0lksman, I hope unity is better equipped by this release. :)
[17:07] <v0lksman> zykotick9: yeah I've read that in places...weird part is it works great on one guest...just not the other...and they both live on different hosts
[17:07] <sitoumbaz> hi every one
[17:07] <d3m0nk> riderplus, yeah gnome 3 seems better on even the 12.04 beta 2 :)
[17:08] <sitoumbaz> please is there some one who can tel me about new featues in the ubuntu precise ?
[17:08] <caB00T> Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"?
[17:08] <d3m0nk> specially without the 3d acceleration gnome3 seems to be the better deal.
[17:08] <riderplus> d3m0nk: good for you. that 12.04 beta is freaking me out ftm
[17:08] <zykotick9> 12.04 Precise discussion in #ubuntu+1 guys
[17:08] <llutz_> caB00T: short: no
[17:08] <d3m0nk> sitoumbaz, google! :)
[17:09] <caB00T> @llutz_: Even if it's also "Ubuntu based"?
[17:09] <v0lksman> caB00T: not as "hard" but still not easy per say
[17:09] <d3m0nk> riderplus, unity (2d) keeps crashing again and again...
[17:09] <d3m0nk> slows down the machine too...
[17:09] <zykotick9> caB00T: mixing distros packages is crazyness
[17:09] <d3m0nk> :(
[17:09] <riderplus> d3m0nk: yeah i know
[17:09] <riderplus> :)
[17:09] <caB00T> Oh? Wasn't aware of it...
[17:10] <llutz_> caB00T: how can we say? we dont know what other distros changed in packages so it might work, but it might also break your system
[17:10] <caB00T> Anyway, if you guys have a guide, article or a book that could help please pm me! :)
[17:10] <caB00T> Ye, sorry, I'm a newbie, so I ask newbie questions I guess... :p
[17:10] <Dr_willis> caB00T,  i dident see an actual question.
[17:10] <Dr_willis> ;)
[17:10] <v0lksman> caB00T: dpkg -l will list all the packages installed on your system...you can take it from there... ;)
[17:11] <llutz_> caB00T: read a guide about debian-packaging and build the stuff you need from source
[17:11] <Dr_willis> !clone
[17:11] <v0lksman> ^^^^ or that
[17:11] <zykotick9> using the output of !clone on a foreign system doesn't seem wise to me...
[17:12] <llutz_> Dr_willis: nice suggestion for people having too much time
[17:12] <caB00T> Thank you very much guys. :)
[17:12] <caB00T> @Dr_willis: Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"? <- that was the q. )
[17:13] <Dr_willis> caB00T,  set up the other box to be an apt-caching server on the network.. reduces your downloads..
[17:14] <caB00T> Mhm, ok, tnx.
[17:14] <Dr_willis> or copy your /var/apt/cache or whatever its called over.
[17:14] <llutz_> Dr_willis: transfer from a NON-Ubuntu distro...
[17:14] <caB00T> No, no,
[17:14] <llutz_> just ubuntu based
[17:14] <caB00T> From Ubuntu based, Backtrack to be precise?
[17:14] <caB00T> To Ubuntu.
[17:14] <Dr_willis> apt packages are cached in that cache dir.
[17:15] <caB00T> Thank you, have stuff to work with now... :)
[17:17] <v0lksman> http://pastebin.com/ZLbZ5STU  <- Any love for the ntpd issue conf and results posted
[17:17] <alp> I did this: sudo apt-get install gnome... BOOM
[17:18] <i7c> :P
[17:18] <compdoc> Ive never used the BOOM command
[17:18] <alp> the bootloader has a background of debian
[17:18] <Zal> usually written "sudo BOOM"
[17:18] <alp> unity is not working
[17:18] <v0lksman> I thought BOOM built parks
[17:18] <corewillem> install gnome 3
[17:18] <alp> :p
[17:19] <corewillem> unity works never well
[17:19] <FrozenMind> i know BOOM levels mountains o.O
[17:19] <alp> How can I revert back? I don't want my bootloader to be like this
[17:19]  * Dr_willis wonders how gnome is related to the bootloader...
[17:19] <compdoc> alp, when you click the logon, is there a choice of desktops?
[17:20] <alp> sure, when I click "ubuntu" something like this comes up:
[17:20] <alp> file edit view ...
[17:20] <KiLLEr> any good nes emulator
[17:20] <alp> not the unity
[17:20] <Dr_willis> KiLLEr,  there used to be several in the repos.
[17:20] <alp> But why the bootloader changes when I apt-get gnome?
[17:21] <alp> wtf?
[17:21] <alp> Do I have to reinstall my OS?
[17:21] <Dr_willis> what bootloader are you refering to?
[17:21] <alp> the one that comes with ubuntu 11.10
[17:21] <alp> now looks like the debian bootloader
[17:22] <FrozenMind> alp - sounds like you are in Ubuntu (old)
[17:22] <Dr_willis> Grub is the bootloader. not sure how it 'looks' to you. I have never seen it changed.
[17:22] <alp> apt-get gnome changed it
[17:22] <Dr_willis> changed it how exactly.. and does it work?  if so.. does it really matter if it has a differnt wallpaper/background?
[17:23] <FrozenMind> Dr_willis, i think alp is talking about the different flavors of desktops, how you have the "Current" 11.04/10 one and the older one that doesnt ahve unity...
[17:23] <Dr_willis> grub2 supports a user selectable background.
[17:23] <alp> it doesn't matter, but what about unity?
[17:23] <Dr_willis> FrozenMind,  thats why i was asking what he ment about the bootloader.
[17:23] <alp> just the background changed, it doesn't matter
[17:23] <Dr_willis> alp,  unity is installed with the ubuntu-desktop package.  i belive
[17:23] <Dr_willis> alp,  unity is installed by default. so not sure what you are doing.
[17:24] <alp> Ok, everything was normal
[17:24] <FrozenMind> Dr_Willis, aye... :) I see that now that i actually looked at your last few posts, sorry :)
[17:24] <alp> and the
[17:24] <alp> n
[17:24] <alp> I did this:
[17:24] <OneFix_Work> Anyone know of a pre-built Gimp 2.7.x package for Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:24] <alp> sudo apt-get install gnome
[17:25] <alp> and i have this choice on logon: ubuntu, ubuntu 2d lxde gnome etc.
[17:25] <alp> when I choose ubuntu
[17:25] <compdoc> alp, you might try gnome-shell next time
[17:25] <cypher-neo> OneFix_Work, That question needs to go to the channel #ubuntu+1
[17:26] <alp> yes, compdoc, i did a mistake. I am asking can I revert back?
[17:26] <alp> or have to reinstall completely?
[17:26] <Dr_willis> alp,  most likely its some quirk with unity and your video, or other configs.
[17:26] <FrozenMind> alp - have you tried the other options? it might have been a different name/changed by an odd way o.O
[17:26] <Dr_willis> you rarely need to 'reinstall'
[17:26] <compdoc> alp, not sure. uninstalling is not clean with linux
[17:27] <Dr_willis> #1 test to do would be make a new user. see what desktops work with them.
[17:27] <Dr_willis> what release of ubuntu are you using? 11.10?
[17:27] <alp> yes 11.10
[17:28] <Dr_willis> and your video card is?
[17:28] <alp> intel x3100
[17:28] <|dOvE|> Helloes
[17:28] <alp> chipset
[17:28] <alp> 965
[17:29] <alp> an old asus laptop
[17:29] <alp> x80l
[17:30] <Dr_willis> id try adding a new  user. see if the various desktops work for them.
[17:30] <alp> ok i am checking it now, brb
[17:30] <Dr_willis> theres some known issues/bugs that can cause unity to not start properly. see if unity2d works also
[17:33] <alp> its working
[17:33] <alp> so its a problem with my own account
[17:34] <alp> How do I reset my account's settings?
[17:34] <alp> or where the problem lies?
[17:35] <alp> Are you there dr willis?
[17:35] <KiLLEr> any nes emulator
[17:35] <alp> hello?
[17:36] <alp> Can anyone see me?
[17:36] <dalton2345> yes alp
[17:36] <alp> ok
[17:36] <joaquinx> yes alp
[17:37] <alp> so its working via the new user, now the question is how can I get the same for my own account?
[17:37] <dalton2345> same what?
[17:38] <alp> did you see what i said before?
[17:38] <alp> i said unity is not working
[17:38] <dalton2345> nope
[17:39] <alp> and dr_willis told me to test it with a new account
[17:39] <dalton2345> unity is working in your new account?
[17:39] <alp> yes
[17:39] <pepee> alp, you can reconfigure it, but you may loose your configs

[17:39] <arcsky> how do i find out the zombies process and kill them?
[17:39] <dalton2345> i'm not using unity alp
[17:40] <bekks> arcsky: Zombies cant be killed. Guess why they are named like that.
[17:40] <pepee> arcsky, IIRC zombie processes can't be killed
[17:40] <alp> ok dalton
[17:40] <pepee> arcsky, use ps
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> KiLLEr: arcsky:   ps -el | grep 'Z'
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> arcsky: if you kill a zombie's parent, the zombie will die
[17:41] <Anon7> hey guys
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> arcsky: if the zombie's parent process is PID 1, you will have to reboot

[17:45] <Kolnmenky> Hi. This is my problem: Whenever I try to use one of those flash chats (for example Tinychat) I have problems with my mic. I think reason is that when I try to click on the flash mic settings it shows "Intel 828..." which is my sound card, instead of "Linux Microphone", which is the one that used to be there. Some people I've talked to recently have told me that even though they can sort of hear me, the sound is really bad and choppy. What could be a po
[17:45] <pepee> bekks, read again: <Mordy> hello can someone tell how to replace lubuntu with ubuntu? and I also have dual boot
[17:46] <Anon7> Mordy, burn an Ubuntu LiveCD
[17:46] <ikonia> pepee: install the package ubuntu-desktop
[17:46] <Anon7> then when installing, select "something else" for the partitions
[17:46] <Anon7> then when you get to gparted
[17:46] <pepee> ikonia, <Mordy> pepee, i want fresh install
[17:46] <pepee> fresh, do you know what it means?
[17:46] <ikonia> pepee: then install ubuntu
[17:46] <Anon7> install it on top of the lubuntu one. it'll be labeled at ext3 or ext4 whatever fs you're using
[17:46] <pepee> ugh...
[17:47] <Mordy> pepee, I have installed lubuntul along side windows
[17:47] <Anon7> This is why dumb people shouldn't use Linux. I only installed Linux on my mom's computer because I'm the administrator
[17:47] <pepee> Mordy, read what Anon7 says
[17:48] <pepee> Anon7, tmpfs may be of help in such cases :)
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> alp: all I can suggest is wipe your configs out in root recovery (or copy them to a folder) so when you reboot, you get vanilla settings
[17:48] <dalton2345> anon7 its not about being dumb or not...its just a new experience...and the best one i'll say
[17:48] <Anon7> Mordy, here it is, one last time:  Mordy, burn an Ubuntu LiveCD. then when installing, select "something else" for the partitions. then when you get to gparted, install on top of the lubuntu oine, which will be labeled as either ext3 nor ext4

[17:51] <Anon7> dillon58078, have you tried a different distro to see if you get the same error?
[17:51] <Kolnmenky> why would flash detect the sound card instead of my regular mic is really beyond me...
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Anon7: you burned a CD using an ISO, did you check it was complete and consistent?
[17:51] <dalton2345> via cd dillon58078 ?

[17:55] <ActionParsnip> alp: why reinstall. It's just your profile. The apps are fine
[17:55] <pepee> alp, betas are risky, but if you enjoy fixing things.. try it :P
[17:56] <pepee> alp, also, linux is not windows. you can fix almost anything by yourself without reinstalling
[17:56] <alp> I am tried of fixing things, that's why I switched back to ubuntu from arch linux. But the problem seems to be with me myself, I always screw things up
[17:56] <Nepomuk> get the beta automaticly updated, when its out ?

[18:02] <ikonia> alp: re-install and be more careful next time
[18:02] <alp> ikonia: complete OS reinstall?
[18:02] <ikonia> alp: yes
[18:03] <ikonia> alp: and if the problem is you messign it up - stop messing with it and use it
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> alp: backup what you need using the other user, hold shift at boot and select recovery mode, then select roo, then run:  rm -r ~/.*    It will delete ALL settings but your user docs will stand. Obviously emails and so forth will go so back those up and such as well as browser and app settings, so back them up. Then run:  reboot   and when you log in you will get vanilla settings

[18:07] <ikonia> skrag: does it show numbers as the owners/groups ?
[18:08] <skrag> yea "1002" is the wrong owner on the backup box
[18:08] <qwerty> hi there

[18:09] <Jon--> When I try and set up multiple monitors with fglrx, I get messages like "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2646, 1024), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1440, 1440)". It seems that my width x height is bound to some maximum value. Can this value be adjusted in the xorg.conf? Can someone help me with this please?

[18:10] <lesshaste> is uvccapture the only/right way get to get images from a logitech webcam?
[18:10] <Anon7> but it didnt
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Anon7: delete the printer you added and then reboot :)
[18:10] <lesshaste> it seems very buggy
[18:10] <skrag> ikonia: thanks ill try that
[18:10] <Anon7> delete it? why?

[18:12] <craigbass1976> Ok, so I've installed java 1.7 in Lucid, according to alink someone posted earlier for me.  I need pdftk back on this rig, which was taken off when I removed (with apt-get) the older version of java.  apt-get install pdftk looks like it's going to be throwing a bunch of older java, including openjdk (which for some reason prevents my ERP from printing)
[18:13] <alp> Haha, I just deleted all my files.

[18:15] <alp> Am I the only one? Anybody accidentally wiped out his/her harddisk before?
[18:15] <FrozenMind> craigbass1976: press up on the arrow keys
[18:16] <Pumpkin-> craigbass1976: try just "history"
[18:16] <craigbass1976> FrozenMind, that's while I'm IN the terminal.  What about after?  Are they going to be in ~/.bash_history or somewhere else?
[18:16] <jrib> craigbass1976: /root/.bash_history ...
[18:16] <hypn0> alp, i doubt if its wiped, have you tried using testdisk

[18:17] <lesshaste> what is a command line tool for capturing images from a webcam?
[18:17] <alp> hypno0: yes, i tried testdisk. no luck.
[18:17] <Galahad> alp nope your not the only one, best advice is always back up stuff you can't live without before doing anything with your OS, hindsight is 20:20, sorry for your loss :(
[18:18] <FrozenMind> craigbass1976 -- run "history" like Pumpkin- said, works well on my distro :)

[18:20] <Galahad> alp there is a chance you could recover some of your lost files: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery I have used these methods for some of my clients before, it's tedious, but effective, hopefully you have not utilized the HDD that you wiped out, or not used it much.
[18:20] <centHOGG> hmmm
[18:21] <alp> I formatted it two times and installed OS over them.

[18:21] <alp> centHOGG right.
[18:21] <go8765> is anyway to clean cache in ubuntu (without swapoff and reboot) ?
[18:21] <arcsky> how do i do so the xorg doesnt start when i reboot?
[18:22] <jrib> arcsky: always or just once?
[18:22] <Galahad> alp good chance most is gone, but some may be recoverable still, depends on what those files are worth to you whether you want to go fishing for them, your situation is pretty severe and would likely have small if any yield
[18:22] <arcsky> jrib: always
[18:22] <jrib> !text | arcsky
[18:22] <alp> Galahad, they don't worth it... :D
[18:22] <Galahad> gotcha

[18:23] <alp> with the time I lost searching for them, i can create better ones

[18:23] <go8765> htop
[18:23] <hypn0> alp, but will you back them up this time :-/
[18:23] <jrib> arcsky: then you do what the factoid says and don't edit your grub configuration
[18:23] <dalton2345> alp the good thing about it, you wont do it twice lol
[18:24] <Galahad> alp i did a recovery one time and the client was upset that the file names were gone, not happy that they were recovered lol.
[18:24] <pepee> go8765, cache? as in /tmp/ ?
[18:24] <jeagle> Bash question... I want to itterate through several folders within a folder... i.e., Home folder and within Home folder I have 30 folders, and within each of those 30 folders, I could have many folders, I want to move everything within those folders up one level, so the are still within the 30 folders. just removing the contents of those sub folders. :)
[18:25] <alp> And I also prevent myself from using "cut" or mv. They are not for me.
[18:25] <alp> will also*
[18:25] <jrib> jeagle: your question seems somewhat vague but #bash is more appropriate anyway
[18:25] <pepee> go8765, what's the cache?
[18:26] <alp> Best is to use a seperate home partition?
[18:26] <go8765> sorry. i mean swap
[18:26] <pepee> jeagle, /join #bash ?
[18:26] <jeagle> oh, ok, didn't know there was a bash one. :D

[18:27] <amarcolino> I have added my user to www:data and made /www writable to users within that group, however, I would like to know how I can make it that when I create file and folders the owner and group should be www:data instead of my user?

[18:36] <amarcolino> mcb_, just did a quick search on umask and unless I read it wrong it doesn't seem to do what I want, which is to belong to the www:data group but be able to create file and folders assigned to that group instead of myself

[18:40] <amarcolino> pepee, that's what I am doing now but it gets tedious after a while specially when doing testing, creating folder etc, hopefully someone knows a way to do this
[18:41] <pepee> amarcolino, you can ask in #linux too
[18:42] <amarcolino> pepee, thanks will try that
[18:42] <jhattara> on an ubuntu server i'd need to redirect all network traffic going out to A.A.A.A redirected to B.B.B.B, i guess iptables is the program to use, but i have no idea of the options i'd need to use, any help ?
[18:42] <[erk]hacker> ual 1691 users :D
[18:42] <ikonia> jhattara: look at the postrouting option
[18:42] <pepee> [erk]hacker, lamer sos vos que usas backtrack como root jaja
[18:43] <[erk]hacker> pepee, fy
[18:43] <[erk]hacker> kkkkkkk
[18:43] <Pici> pepee: Please stop encouraging him, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only and he has been told where to go.  this is also an English-only channel.
[18:43] <[erk]hacker> :D
[18:43] <pepee> Pici, he's not searching for help anyway
[18:44] <pepee> you should ban him
[18:44] <Pici> pepee: Perhaps you should stop playing along with him as well then.
[18:44] <pepee> and btw he's using backtrack, not ubuntu
[18:44] <pepee> jhattara, http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/04/15/how-to-redirect-traffic-to-another-machine-in-linux/

[18:45] <_zoom_> hi, how to crreate virutal interface using network-manager
[18:45] <_zoom_> ?
[18:45] <jhattara> Pici: cheers, i'll try there
[18:48] <heater89> what does this command do "rm *~" ?
[18:48] <heater89> i know what rm does and what * does but "*~"?
[18:48] <ikonia> heater89: do you have a file called [something]~
[18:49] <heater89> ikonia: not at the moment it is in the "clean" portion of a makefile
[18:49] <_Marcus> heater89: * is a wildcard. It counts as anything. So "rm *~" would delete anything that ends with "~" in your current directory
[18:49] <ikonia> heater89: shouldn't do anything of concern then
[18:49] <aslan> Hi I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm using 2 virtual OS( windows,Backtrack ) in Virutalbox. I just want to know the network structure of my virtual OS. I referring that is my virtual OS gets IP from the primary OS(LAN) or it will get a separate IP address..
[18:50] <ikonia> aslan: depends how you configure them
[18:50] <zykotick9> ikonia: heater89 i seem to recall vi creating backups named filename~ (but don't recall seeing it in a while)
[18:50] <heater89> ikonia: _Marcus : alright, i felt like it was ok but made me nervous with the "~" as i know that is home
[18:50] <ikonia> zykotick9: correct
[18:50] <wylde> heater then it removes any backup files created by your editing program when editing.
[18:50] <hypn0> heater89, arent *~ files backups?
[18:50] <_Marcus> heater89: Since it's in the makefile, they probally use filenames that end with ~, so they make it easier to delete them by having the rm command delete everything that ends with ~
[18:50] <heater89> zykotick9: alright thanks
[18:50] <aslan> ikonia, could you explain me please.
[18:51] <heater89> _Marcus: yea, just wanted to make very sure so i didn't recursively delete my home directory ;)
[18:51] <ikonia> aslan: you configure your guest OS's to get IP's from where you want
[18:51] <onorevole> .xchat2/budus.so
[18:51] <heater89> thanks for the help guys, much appreciated :)
[18:51] <wylde> heater89: you need the * on the other side of the ~ for that ;)
[18:51] <aslan> ikonia, How to identify my IP address configuration
[18:52] <ikonia> aslan: you put it on - so you know it
[18:52] <heater89> wylde: right but it is better to be safe and ask then to watch as everything gets deleted :D
[18:52] <kzr22> can anyone help me to get my 2nd monitor to not be a clone in backtrack?
[18:52] <ikonia> heater89: never any harm asking if you are unsure
[18:52] <ikonia> kzr22: join #backtrack-linux and they can help you
[18:52] <lawltoad> hi, you know how when nautilus mounts somthign it creates the directory and then on a umount it autoremoves? how do I mount somthing liek that?
[18:52] <kzr22> thanks
[18:52] <heater89> ikonia: yea haha
[18:52] <aslan> ikonia, It shows that I'm using NAT for both the OS
[18:52] <heater89> thanks again guys
[18:52] <wylde> heater89: very true, but it's also a good idea to keep up-to-date backups :)
[18:53] <ikonia> aslan: ok, so you are natting out onto whatever network you've set it to nat from
[18:53] <kzr22> ikonia : it says im banned...??
[18:53] <heater89> wylde: ideal vs what actually happens lol i have backups, just not a super recent one lol
[18:53] <jrib> lawltoad: udisks (maybe?)
[18:53] <ikonia> kzr22: you're using IRC as root, they don't allow it in that channel
[18:54] <i7c> still looking for a torrent software that supports socks5 proxies and runs as daemon. deluged does not work for me, way too buggy.
[18:54] <kzr22> ikonia: so i need to log in to another account? ok
[18:54] <wylde> heater89: also very true </ot> (before someone throws an ! ot at us)
[18:54] <pepee> i7c, use proxychains ?
[18:54] <aslan> ikonia, NAT in the scene it is a kind of LAN which I' m getting the IP address for the primary OS to the guest OS.
[18:54] <zykotick9> ikonia: isn't root login default for bt?  neat trick, default users can't join support channel ;)
[18:55] <ikonia> zykotick9: it's part of the "are you clever enough to use backtrack" test
[18:55] <i7c> pepee: what is that o.O
[18:55] <pepee> i7c, apt-cache show proxychains
[18:55] <ShermAntics> Hello!
[18:56] <aslan> ikonia, NAT in the scene it is a kind of LAN which I' m getting the IP address for the primary OS to the guest OS.
[18:56] <ikonia> aslan: ok ?
[18:56] <i7c> pepee: ahaaa. thanks for the useful hint :)
[18:56] <pepee> i7c, no problem
[18:56] <aslan> ikonia, Is that correct?
[18:56] <ikonia> aslan: I don't know it's YOUR config
[18:56] <ikonia> aslan: YOU know how YOU set it up
[18:57] <lawltoad> jrib, you sir, are a god! howd you know? Ive been using linux for years and ive never heven heard of it
[18:57] <aslan> ikonia, I just installed it, it didn't ask for network config.
[18:57] <jrib> lawltoad: hanging out here :)
[18:57] <ikonia> aslan: you have to make it
[18:58] <aslan> ikonia, could you help me to make it please.
[18:58] <lawltoad> I guess now I know too... Linux can feel so arcane soemtimes... I guess thats why I dream of switchign to arch
[18:58] <ikonia> lawltoad: arch is linux, so it's arcane too
[19:00] <lawltoad> ikonia, yea, but its mysteries are much more skindeep
[19:00] <ikonia> lawltoad: no, you just make things up because you don't know what you're talking about.
[19:00] <aslan> ikonia, could you help me to make it please.
[19:00] <lawltoad> ikonia, isn't that what makes it a mystery ?
[19:01] <Oer> !ics

[19:14] <kzr22> i7c : meant to get help command
[19:14] <amarcolino> I have added my user to www:data and made /www writable to users within that group, however, I would like to know how I can make it that when I create file and folders the owner and group should be www:data instead of my user?
[19:14] <funnyhaha> i have 4 gb now i can put more in
[19:14] <JULinuxUser> how do you reset/ delete your nautilus config in ubuntu?
[19:14] <JULinuxUser> Mine is all screwed up
[19:14] <i7c> pepee: no, mine never crashed :O
[19:14] <mirko1> funnyhaha: it depends, even if you have more than 4GB you can use a 32bit PAE kernel. 64bit speeds up mainly audio/video stuff but still has some compatibility problems. therefore i still se and advice 32bit.
[19:14] <zykotick9> funnyhaha: 4GB is borderline, but i'd use 64 (32bit can be easier for somethings)
[19:15] <zykotick9> mirko1: PAE is a "hack" that has some overhead involved
[19:15] <pepee> i7c, :(
[19:15] <funnyhaha> ahhh thanks
[19:16] <alp> Anyone using a laptop here?
[19:16] <Zal> amarcolino, chmod g+s should do it.
[19:16] <_zoom_> hollllaaaa, how to add alias to interface using network-manager
[19:16] <funnyhaha> i did the PAE for the 32 i think it screws things up
[19:16] <_zoom_> ?
[19:16] <dalton2345> it never did to me funnyhaha
[19:16] <i7c> pepee: lxde works perfectly fine on my machine. how does yours crash?
[19:17] <Zal> amarcolino, actually, not sure about owner. Don't think you can change that part. Group, yes.
[19:17] <mirko1> zykotick9: not used PAE myself, so I trust you. :-) is the overhead big enough to compensate for the compatibility problem (which still occassionaly arise)?
[19:17] <zykotick9> funnyhaha: it "should" run fine - but pure 64bit is better for future use and more memory for applications
[19:17] <funnyhaha> the update wont work
[19:17] <alp> i7c, pepee, dalton2345, all: My mousepad is not working.
[19:17] <dalton2345> when did you install it
[19:17] <pepee> i7c, it will restart by itself a couple times a day
[19:17] <dalton2345> never had trouble with pae
[19:17] <dalton2345> funnyhaha, you did it cause you add more ram?
[19:18] <alp> Do you have an alternative to "synaptiks"?
[19:18] <pepee> alp, sudo modprobe psmouse
[19:18] <zykotick9> mirko1: the PAE overhead is <10% (so not significant, but it's always there).  and applications are still limited to 32bit constraints...
[19:18] <funnyhaha> and there was a program that needed libbssl but it was allready install and it said it was not
[19:18] <alp> pepee, still not working.
[19:18] <Dilberto> Buenos dias!
[19:18] <Dilberto> Soy un representante de la comunidad linuxiana de Tijuana!
[19:19] <Dilberto> Unanse con nosotros en nuestro canal
[19:19] <Dilberto> #gultij
[19:19] <alp> It was working with a software called synaptiks, do you have another alternatives?
[19:19] <pepee> Dilberto, hola. !es | Dilberto
[19:19] <pepee> !es | Dilberto
[19:19] <zykotick9> !es | Dilberto
[19:19] <mirko1> zykotick9: yeah, i know the 32bit contraint, thanks for the overhead info
[19:19] <Dilberto> Hi!  I am a representative of the Linux community in Tijuana!
[19:19] <i7c> pepee: :-/ maybe reinstall
[19:19] <amarcolino> zal, thnaks but it's not what I am looking for, I need a way to make it that when I create files and folders withing /www the ownership goes to www:data instead of myself
[19:19] <funnyhaha> i think i will try the 64 see how it goes
[19:19] <Dilberto> Join us in our channel
[19:19] <Dilberto> #gultij
[19:19] <pepee> i7c, yeah, I'll try reinstalling
[19:19] <Dilberto> If you are a user of linux in baja california.
[19:19] <Dilberto> #gultij
[19:19] <dalton2345> funnyhaha, you use pae after upgrading ur ram?
[19:19] <alp> join #ubuntu-tr
[19:19] <Zal> amarcolino, not possible. You can only set group ownership to a specific group that you belong to
[19:20] <funnyhaha> i dont understand
[19:20] <Pici> dalton2345: Please don't advertise channels here.
[19:20] <funnyhaha> do you mean putting more in or something else
[19:20] <bekks> Zal: setuid and setgid should be working on folders too.
[19:20] <cgardner> Hey guys, is it possible to use the existing dnsmasq to setup something like http://css.dzone.com/articles/drop-folder-directory-and-have ?
[19:20] <alp> seems nobody is gonna help
[19:20] <dalton2345> pici i didnt advertise anything
[19:21] <Pici> dalton2345: whoops, mistab there.
[19:21] <Pici> Dilberto: Please don't advertise channels here.
[19:21] <funnyhaha> i just installed the PAE
[19:21] <Pici> dalton2345: sorry about that.
[19:21] <funnyhaha> i dont know
[19:21] <dalton2345> pici, no problem :)
[19:22] <dalton2345> funnyhaha, i have pae cause i add more ram
[19:22] <zykotick9> funnyhaha: with 4GB PAE probably makes sense :)
[19:22] <amarcolino> zal, hmmm, there has to be a way otherwise I would have to keep doing chown foobar:foobar, which gets really tiring and annoying
[19:22] <dalton2345> without pae...my 4th gb wasn't recognised...with pae it is
[19:23] <funnyhaha> yeah im just going to the 64 and hope it works
[19:23] <alp> Are you just ignoring me?
[19:23] <Zal> bekks, as far as I know, setuid on a directory will not cause files created to belong to another user.
[19:23] <dalton2345> you dont have to funnyhaha
[19:23] <dalton2345> pae will recognise your ram
[19:23] <funnyhaha> i am also using the 11.10 this time i have 10.04 now
[19:23] <dalton2345> check it out
[19:24] <MangledBody> Hi Guys! Can anybody help me with Tibia client? The native one is lagging, horribly lagging, but the Windows one through Wine runs good, can anyone help me?
[19:24] <Zal> amarcolino, think about what a serious security problem it would be if users could create files that belong to other users.
[19:24] <Zal> amarcolino, there is no way to do that, as far as I know, but you can do it with group ownership, as I've noted.
[19:24] <funnyhaha> i know i dont have to but i had alot of problems after i installed the PAE
[19:24] <alp> hello
[19:24] <dalton2345> another cool feature from linux...with windows you need to pay for the 64bit version, with linux just install pae
[19:25] <funnyhaha> windows sucks
[19:25] <dalton2345> and its free...i was so upset when i find out windows didnt recognise it
[19:25] <dalton2345> i couldnt believe it!!
[19:25] <Zal> amarcolino, perhaps what you need is a different architecture to solve whatever your original problem is.
[19:25] <mirko1> amarcolino: maybe you just want to run chgrp -R ... after creating a bunch of files?
[19:26] <alp> Hoho, hello
[19:26] <funnyhaha> do you think i can install linux form a external hdd
[19:26] <i7c> funnyhaha: sure
[19:26] <pepee> dalton2345, "install pae"? it comes supported by the ubuntu kernel
[19:26] <kzr22> hi, how do i run xchat as not root in backtrack so i can access backtrack irc?
[19:27] <alp> Hoho fofo toto hello
[19:27] <pepee> kzr22, create another user, or edit chat configs to not show "root " as user
[19:27] <amarcolino> zal, I undertsand that but in certain situations it is necessary specially when dealing with web apps/packages just thought there would be a way to automate the process instead of manually doing it
[19:27] <satyanash> !PAE
[19:27] <dalton2345> right pepee but you need to install it
[19:27] <auronandace> kzr22: why not go the whole hog and dump backtrack and install ubuntu
[19:27] <Pici> dalton2345: not in more recent releases of Ubuntu.
[19:27] <kzr22> auronandace: cause i like backtrack
[19:28] <pepee> dalton2345, no, you need to compile the kernel with that option enabled
[19:28] <Zal> amarcolino, typically with web apps, a user adds files through the app, which writes them to the filesystem as the www user anyway.
[19:28] <mirko1> alp: stop that, if noboby knows an answer, what do you expect. more patience please and what was your original question?
[19:28] <gr33n7007h> backtrack is ubuntu
[19:28] <dalton2345> ok pici i'm still on 11.10 ;)
[19:28] <alp> mirkol, it was "hello"
[19:28] <kzr22> gr33n7007h, i am aware
[19:28] <auronandace> gr33n7007h: not quite
[19:28] <gr33n7007h> course it is
[19:28] <kzr22> its a distribution of ubuntu
[19:28] <LjL> uh, no
[19:28] <gr33n7007h> backtrack is 10.04
[19:28] <Myrtti> !backtrack
[19:28] <auronandace> gr33n7007h: no, it is ubuntu based, big difference
[19:28] <Pici> dalton2345: That would be a recent release of Ubuntu.
[19:29] <alp> Original question: How do you get your mousepad working? Out of the box?
[19:29] <gr33n7007h> just with a ton of pentesting tools
[19:29] <pepee> gr33n7007h, that's like saying ubuntu is debian
[19:29] <pn_123123> !mint
[19:29] <dalton2345> pici sorry 11.04 i have
[19:29] <kzr22> jsut need to know how to access irc as non root in backtrack sorry i have to ask here cause backtrack channel blocks me
[19:30] <amarcolino> Zal, true except the folder must still be owned otherwise I egt some annoying messages, after that it's fine
[19:30] <alp> mirkol, so nobody knows this question?
[19:30] <auronandace> kzr22: you shouldn't be logged in as root anyway, its very bad practice
[19:30] <amarcolino> Zal, ownded by www:date other I get some annoying messages, nevermind
[19:31] <Pici> alp: I think you mean 'touchpad' The mousepad is the thing that sits between your mouse and the desk.
[19:31] <kzr22> auronandace, im trying to find how to not be root
[19:31] <kzr22> auronandace, backtrack is wierd
[19:31] <mirko1> alp: at least I don't know an answer. maybe you should try the forum and provide hardware info (what laptop, etc)
[19:31] <pepee> kzr22, menu-> confiuration ?
[19:31] <alp> yes, Pici, sorry for my bad english, and I did it, thanks for not answering...
[19:32] <pepee> these hackers...
[19:32] <pirate> hi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and i was wondering if anyone knew of a Linux game, that had good graphics? i get sick of windows and it being closed source but Linux does not have good support for windows games. so i was hoping to find a Linux game, any genre really that was good. preferably free :)
[19:32] <LjL> kzr22: then don't use it. it's a distribution made for people who kinda know what they're doing, if you don't know how to switch from root to a normal user, then that's a hint you should be using something more user-oriented
[19:32] <auronandace> kzr22: backtrack is awful, somebody already told you how earlier, make a new user and log in as that user
[19:32] <Pici> alp: Just trying to help you get the right help.
[19:32] <gr33n7007h> adduser <user>
[19:33] <gr33n7007h> terminal login <user> then <password> then xchat
[19:33] <alp> Pici, I can get it working via synaptiks. I was asking if there are alternatives.
[19:33] <Pici> alp: why can't you continue to use synaptics?
[19:34] <kzr22> think i got it
[19:34] <kzr22> gr33n7007h, it says keith@bt in console am i logged in?
[19:34] <gr33n7007h> yes
[19:34] <kzr22> gr33n7007h, thanks
[19:34] <gr33n7007h> kk
[19:35] <alp> Pici, I was looking for a more lightweight software. But nevermind, it's working anyway.
[19:35] <pirate> hi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and i was wondering if anyone knew of a Linux game, that had good graphics? i get sick of windows and it being closed source but Linux does not have good support for windows games. so i was hoping to find a Linux game, any genre really that was good. preferably free :)
[19:35] <JViz> where can i find the configuration for the ubuntu 3.0.0-17-generic kernel build?
[19:35] <LjL> pirate: http://happypenguin.org/ lists virtually all Linux games
[19:35] <Ben64> pirate: Trine
[19:36] <kzr22> gr33n7007h,  it still wolnt let me join the channel
[19:36] <gr33n7007h> whats it saying
[19:36] <kzr22> gr33n7007h, that im banned
[19:36] <pirate> LjL: thanks :D
[19:37] <gr33n7007h> hey??
[19:37] <pirate> Ben64: thanks :D
[19:37] <kzr22> gr33n7007h, pretty sure thats just cause of root user though cause ive never been on channel

[19:38] <pepee> !playdeb
[19:38] <pepee> :/
[19:38] <pepee> pirate, playdeb.net
[19:38] <pepee> btw ubottu should have that
[19:39] <pepee> playdeb has its own repo for ubuntu users
[19:39] <pepee> and a channel: #playdeb
[19:39] <auronandace> !games
[19:39] <LjL> pepee: suggest it in #ubuntu-ops, but i suspect the reaction will be less than warm on third-party repositories
[19:39] <pepee> hehe
[19:39] <pirate> pepee, thanks :D this looks good. im surpised i did not find this in a google search.
[19:40] <pepee> pirate, seems to be somewhat new
[19:40] <pepee> LjL, I will
[19:40] <pirate> pepee, yes it does.  thanks for the help!
[19:44] <Jon--> Occasionally when I adjust the voljume on my speakers the sound gets very distroted. A computer restart fixes the issue
[19:44] <Jon--> What service do I need to restart to reload the sound driver and fix this w/o a restart?
[19:46] <pepee> Jon--, pulseaudio? not sure :/
[19:46]  * pehden is away: I'm busy
[19:47] <pirate> Jon--, try logging in and out next time it happens just to make sure its not your speakers and it is in fact Ubuntu.
[19:47] <winterpk> Hi everyone
[19:47] <pirate> Hello
[19:47] <Jon--> pirate, I'm going through earbuds I doubt it
[19:48] <pepee> Jon--, for the distort thing, try asking in #pulseaudio or #alsa
[19:48] <Jon--> pirate, A log out would work but that's a pain in the ass. is there a pulseaudio/alsa server?
[19:48] <Jon--> pepee, A log out works, I just need to restart it, nothing too advanced
[19:49] <mirko1> Jon--:  also sudo alsa force-reload sometimes helps
[19:49] <Zal> if it's alsa, "alsactl restore" should do it
[19:49] <pepee> Jon--, look in /etc/init.d
[19:49] <pepee> there is pulseaudio,  alsa-restore and alsa-store
[19:49] <pirate> Jon--, mirko1 seems to have a good idea,
[19:50] <pepee> service <something> restart
[19:50] <pirate> Jon--, perhaps you have a sound effect enabled in the volume settings? or perhaps have the mode changed?
[19:51] <rhin01> if a usb stick is formatted using "usb-creator-gtk" (which I use to blank it) on a 32 bit machine -- it won't mount on a 64 bit machine (xubuntu 10.04)

[19:54] <winterpk> I'm trying to do some file uploading on our Ubuntu server with php.  However, I'm getting a php error: ErrorException [ Warning ]: mkdir(): Too many links.  From what I've read this is because of too many files under one folder.  But I have all my files broken into sub folders.  Am I supposed to structure my folders directly off server root to avoid this issue? If not, how can I structure my
[19:54] <winterpk> folders properly?
[19:54] <pepee> Salaria, read the rfc's?
[19:54] <pepee> Salaria, lots of bots out ther
[19:54] <WordpressNoob> hail friends. after removing x11vnc my freenx is no longer working
[19:54] <WordpressNoob> this is on 11.10 oneiric
[19:55] <WordpressNoob> any ideas?
[19:55] <Salaria> pepee:  Hi, thanks for replying. Im new here and not much expert in java. Can you suggest me few tips to start from scratch?
[19:56] <pepee> Salaria, port a bot?
[19:56] <xamox> I'm am quite familiar with ubuntu, but does anyone know how I can install it on my mac mini?  I'm trying to install via USB, trying to hold down ctrl+alt+o+f, alt, etc. Nothing seems to work.   I basically just need to know how to boot to drive, don't need dual boot.
[19:56] <WordpressNoob> xamox, hold down Option during boot?
[19:57] <pepee> winterpk, /join #php ?
[19:58] <Salaria> pepee:  suggest me few!
[19:58] <pepee> Salaria, http://www.jibble.org/pircbot.php  :P
[19:58] <WordpressNoob> anyone? help with freenx? :(
[19:58] <winterpk> My question is really about file/folder limit in Ubuntu. Can I have 600k files under a single directory with sub-directories?  Or do I have to break them into separate folders off root?
[19:58] <rhin01> does using torrents (transmission) ever give problems on a system?  viruses / security problems etc (that is apart from the files)
[19:58] <pepee> Salaria, never did something like that, but php bots are very simple, so you can take one and port it
[19:58] <MasterOfDisaster> somebody please tell me why I can't install (http://paste.ubuntu.com/915080/) libsdl1.2debian + libsdl1.2debian:i386 side by side here (ubuntu 11.10)
[19:59] <guntbert> i7c: in what way "does it not work"?
[19:59] <pepee> rhin0, it shoulnd't
[20:01] <i7c> guntbert: in a stupid way. i'm sorry i filtered too much with grep. it does work :) thanks anyways!
[20:01] <guntbert> i7c: glad you worked it out :)

[20:02] <gadien> Hi all :)
[20:02] <media> but I have 1.11.0
[20:02] <pepee> master_of_master, apt-get install zsnes:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386  ?
[20:03] <gadien> super nintendo?
[20:03] <pepee> MasterOfDisaster, apt-get install zsnes:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386  ?
[20:04] <pepee> xamox, /j #mac ?
[20:04] <media> anyone know how I can get that?
[20:04] <pepee> media, paste the ouput in pastebin
[20:05] <gadien> pepee: are you talking about installing the zsnes emulator?
[20:05] <pepee> gadien, MasterOfDisaster is having troubles installing it
[20:05] <winterpk> Anyone have any ideas on my problem? Is 600k files broken into subfolders under one directory in Ubuntu too many?  If so, how am I supposed to structure all my files (which will continue to grow).
[20:06] <gadien> pepee:  oic, nice to see it can be done :)
[20:06] <pepee> winterpk, what file system?
[20:06] <media> hi pepee, paste what?  all I need updated package which is not in repo
[20:07] <media> and I don't know how to get it
[20:07] <winterpk> ext4
[20:07] <xamox> peepee, I will go try the mac channel, thanks.
[20:07] <pepee> media, download it from packages.ubuntu.com ?
[20:07] <winterpk> @pepeeis it possible that I just have too many subfolders?
[20:08] <alp> So I am done, my main question was to anonymize flash activity.
[20:08] <guntbert> winterpk: do you get an error? or why are you asking?
[20:08] <pepee> winterpk, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Features
[20:08] <alp> i7c, I routed all traffic to polipo, it still don't work, flash is still not anonymized.
[20:09] <gadien> Ok, In short: can I port my Firefox 11 profile info from XP to Ubuntu 11.10...
[20:09] <media> pepee tried that the package manger says newer version is available in repo
[20:09] <pepee> alp, flash is run locally,, so it will not work
[20:09] <alp> pepee, is it impossible to anonymize flash activity?
[20:09] <winterpk> guntbert: I get a php warning with mkdir()
[20:10] <pepee> media, apt-get install <package>:<version>
[20:10] <pepee> err
[20:10] <pepee> media, apt-get install <package>=<version>
[20:10] <craigbass1976> I need pdftk but without openjdk.  Is that possible with apt-get ?
[20:10] <pepee> alp, I think, yes
[20:10] <alp> hmm
[20:11] <MasterOfDisaster> pepee: apt would remove smplayer and vlc
[20:11] <Nk261> Hello, trying to get 11.04 server 64bit running in a VM. Once installed I ran update/upgrade then did a reboot. Now all I get is a blank screen with a line in the top corner. Any ideas? Ive done it twice
[20:11] <guntbert> winterpk: there is a 32,000 subdirectory limit
[20:11] <pepee> MasterOfDisaster, try usin aptitude
[20:12] <dalton2345> Nk261, without offending you...why running ubuntu in wm
[20:12] <guntbert> MasterOfDisaster: pepee: careful. aptitude has troubles with multiarch
[20:12] <i7c> alp: which desktop are you using now?
[20:13] <Nk261> dalton2345 I'm just doing some testing before I deploy it to my server
[20:13] <gadien> mokoloko: hey are you there?
[20:13] <here4thegear> is there an irc server in the repos?
[20:13] <dalton2345> Nk261, ok
[20:13] <media> pepee how do I find what version are available?
[20:14] <media> thanks
[20:14] <i7c> here4thegear: sure. ircd-irc2
[20:14] <zykotick9> here4thegear: check "apt-cache search ircd"
[20:14] <pepee> media, apt-cache search <package>
[20:14] <pepee> media, apt-cache show <package>
[20:14] <i7c> here4thegear: ircd-irc2 is the original. there are million others.
[20:15] <loganrun> how do I switch session managers from untunu to gnome
[20:15] <dalton2345> Nk261, its much better to install it in dual boot
[20:15] <loganrun> I think it asked me when I installed gnome but I didn't want to re-isntall
[20:16] <rhin0> you mean unity or gnome?
[20:16] <loganrun> well switch from unity to gnome
[20:16] <DasEi> loganrun: usually you choose session when loging into desktop
[20:16] <loganrun> yeah the session manager
[20:16] <DasEi> !nounity
[20:17] <loganrun> I am talking about the session manager, isn't that unity also
[20:17] <DasEi> loganrun: still gdm
[20:17] <media> pepee just checked and the one available is in packages is the only one which is outdated
[20:18] <loganrun> I use gnome, but the screen seems to freeze up when the screen saver comes on, i.e. I don't get the password prompt
[20:18] <dalton2345> if i chose to remain in 11.04 when they stop the updates...what can happen to my system?
[20:18] <media> is there a repo i can add to get more updated
[20:18] <pepee> media, download it from packages.ubuntu.com
[20:18] <dalton2345> choose^
[20:18] <rhin0> i'd ask that about 10.04 -- If I keep 10.04 after the support ends what happens
[20:18] <ezoe> I found a possibly bug in patched version of Ubuntu's unzip. where can I report it?
[20:19] <zykotick9> !bug > ezoe
[20:19] <DasEi> dalton2345: well EOF will take some time, sooner or later they won't maintain patches, and then dependencies of other apps might bork the sys
[20:19] <dalton2345> i wont rhin lol
[20:19] <media> pepee a link would be much appreciated, I think I must not be finding it.  Thanks
[20:20] <DasEi> media: checkout repogen.ch on google
[20:20] <dalton2345> DasEi, but if i'm not using much program, it will be ok?
[20:20] <ezoe> thanks... i'll read it.
[20:20] <DasEi> dalton2345: sure, if you're not concerned about security issues
[20:21] <DasEi> one could still run hardy or whatever.. with all the progress missing
[20:21] <dalton2345> DasEi, not really no
[20:21] <pepee> media, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=xutils-dev
[20:21] <cba123> I have a machine running Ubuntu off a flash drive.  All of the sudden, it won't boot from it.  It shows in the bios, I had it boot from it, but I just get a blinking underscore.  I can see the files if I plug the drive into another machine though.  Any ideas?
[20:21] <dalton2345> 11.04 will end their support soon i think its why i'm asking this
[20:21] <dalton2345> and unity doesnt do it for me
[20:22] <DasEi> cba123: do a fsk from another (live)system
[20:22] <pepee> cba123, corrupter install?
[20:22] <auronandace> dalton2345: you don't need to use unity, i have xfce
[20:22] <cba123> DasEi, I did, and there weren't any issues.
[20:22] <DasEi> dalton2345: I personallly are not a friend of it too, lubuntu, xubuntu, gnome.. and many more, core is same
[20:23] <DasEi> cba123: size of the drive ?
[20:23] <cba123> 16gig
[20:23] <media> hi pepee this what I get Error: A later version is already installed
[20:23] <dalton2345> auronandace, thats good to hear, but i like the old gnome for some reason lol
[20:23] <DasEi> cba123: so easy to get packages installed in a file, back data up, re-record it, will be quickest I guess
[20:24] <OneSquared> Hello, I try to compile apr apche. But I must compile libtool1. it's ok libtool1 compile but when I launch .configure --prefix=/path/ It don't work :/ I've an error : rm : cannot remove 'libtoolT':No such file or directory
[20:24] <gadien> Anyone direct me to the irc client most suitable for Linux please
[20:24] <OneSquared> Can you help me please ?
[20:24] <ikonia> OneSquared: apache is in the repo, you don't need to compile it
[20:24] <DasEi> !best | gadien
[20:24] <dalton2345> just # gadien
[20:24] <auronandace> gadien: most suitable? there are many clients to choose from, i use xchat or irssi
[20:25] <DasEi> !messengers | guardian
[20:25] <BathOryx> Konversation is a rather nice client as well.
[20:25] <dalton2345> xchat is really god
[20:25] <dalton2345> good
[20:25] <gadien> np's thanks all
[20:25] <OneSquared> ikonia, Ok so if I've apache. It's ok ?
[20:25] <ikonia> OneSquared: ???
[20:26] <ikonia> OneSquared: "it's ok?"#
[20:26] <media> pepee I need that package for libX11
[20:26] <media> to compile it
[20:26] <guntbert> OneSquared: did you want someting else (beside apache?)
[20:26] <OneSquared> ikonia, Sorry for my bad english :/
[20:26] <DasEi> gadien: pidgin for eye friendly easy to us plugin rich, irrssi for behind the carpet
[20:27] <ikonia> OneSquared: don't worry, just trying to understand
[20:27] <DasEi> use*
[20:27] <Pici> media: Why do you need to compile xorg?
[20:27] <OneSquared> I want compile subversion. But I haven't apr :/
[20:27] <media> no just need libX11 for vaapi
[20:27] <OneSquared> ikonia, Thanks
[20:27] <OneSquared> So I must install apache ?
[20:28] <ikonia> OneSquared: why do you want to compile subversion
[20:28] <ikonia> OneSquared: subversion is in the repo
[20:28] <media> another package depends on it
[20:28] <Pici> media: What are you really trying to do?
[20:28] <auronandace> !software | OneSquared
[20:28] <OneSquared> I want to learn environment unix. unix administration, etc...
[20:28] <OneSquared> So I don't use apt-get install
[20:28] <ikonia> OneSquared: why ? apt-get install will give you working packages
[20:29] <media> pepee am trying make softhddevice plugin to work
[20:29] <ikonia> OneSquared: compiling software in a safe manner is a.) unrequired b.) dangerous to your systems stability
[20:29] <loganrun> where is the screen saver configured. my system locks up when I lock the screen, well not the kernel, just the gui
[20:29] <OneSquared> ikonia, My system is in virtual machine.
[20:29] <andrewaclt> OneSquared, Run ubuntu then in virtualbox run lfs
[20:29] <ikonia> OneSquared: that doesn't change anything
[20:29] <OneSquared> andrewaclt, Yes.
[20:30] <ArchNemesis> is there really no way to disable remove revert or at the very least move the unity bar
[20:30] <ArchNemesis> i cant stand it
[20:30] <auronandace> OneSquared: linux from scratch is a good suggestion to learn in a vbox
[20:30] <media> which needs libX11 >> which needs xorg-macros version 1.15
[20:30] <orbisvicis> how do I set the gtk3 theme ?
[20:30] <scientes> auronandace, *kvm + virt-manager
[20:30] <media> or higher
[20:30] <DasEi> loganrun: man xscreensaver
[20:30] <orbisvicis> I've modifed ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to gtk-theme-name = Ambiance but  it does nothing
[20:31] <OneSquared> auronandace, Yes. And here, I want compile svn and it not possible. because I must have apr :/
[20:31] <ikonia> OneSquared:  you shouldn't compile it
[20:31] <ikonia> OneSquared:  it is in the ubuntu repo's, install it from there
[20:32] <DasEi> orbisvicis: not that I know that detail, but ambience maybe ?
[20:32] <guntbert> OneSquared: if you want to compile packages just for the feel of it, start with something small, without too many dependencies - usually you will find them in the files INSTALL or README
[20:32] <OneSquared> ikonia, Yes I know. But for learn, I want not use apt-get install. So i must compile.
[20:32] <ikonia> OneSquared: no - you don't
[20:33] <loganrun> I kept messing with it, it seems like I can acutally log in, but the password box is just not visible, and the screen is black
[20:33] <ikonia> OneSquared: svn is a bad place to learn
[20:33] <OneSquared> guntbert, Ok.
[20:33] <auronandace> OneSquared: listen to guntbert
[20:33] <loganrun> not sure how to resolve this
[20:33] <OneSquared> Ok, thanks all =)
[20:34] <orbisvicis> hmmm had to reboot
[20:34] <orbisvicis> strange
[20:34] <orbisvicis> not needed for gtk-2.0
[20:34] <loganrun> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/569993
[20:34] <media> thanks all and pepee I'll keep trying
[20:34] <loganrun> this sounds similar to my problem
[20:35] <ikonia> loganrun: so is there a fix in the bug report ?
[20:35] <loganrun> don't have any idea, I would settle for a work around
[20:35] <loganrun> why doesn't everyone have this issue
[20:36] <ikonia> loganrun: if there isn't a fix in the bug report, it's not been fixed yet
[20:36] <auronandace> loganrun: why don't you read the bug report to find out if there is a workaround
[20:36] <ikonia> loganrun: not everyone has it as not everyone has your card/make/modeul/ubuntu version/resolution/driver versions
[20:37] <loganrun> yeah I don't haev anything like the graphics card mentioned in the report
[20:37] <dalton2345> loganrun, do you have this problem after an upgrade?
[20:38] <longcat> Hello offical ubuntu support channel.  How do I get an animated gif to be as the desktop background and appear animated like?
[20:38] <loganrun> well removed xscreensaver, and it seems that at least I can lock the screen now
[20:38] <thiebaude> Idont even have a screensaver,lol
[20:39] <dalton2345> i turn off screensaver right after install
[20:39] <loganrun> hopefully the screen will blank or something
[20:39] <dalton2345> lol
[20:39] <RDMonkey> JAJAJAJ XD!!!!
[20:39] <dalton2345> screensaver=gadgets ;)
[20:39] <loganrun> dalton2345, not entirely sure, it seems like it started occuring when I started using gnome instead of unity, I don't think other window managers suffer from this issue
[20:39] <thiebaude> where is there an option to turn the screensaver off?
[20:40] <RDMonkey> lo
[20:40] <loganrun> thiebaude, I just uninstalled it, not sure what that will do
[20:40] <RDMonkey> elvis
[20:40] <dalton2345> thiebaude, its in your system config
[20:40] <RDMonkey> lo
[20:41] <thiebaude> loganrun, what graphics card?
[20:41] <thiebaude> thanks dalton2345
[20:41] <elvis> what?
[20:41] <RDMonkey> your name
[20:41] <RDMonkey> lo
[20:41] <thiebaude> where?
[20:41] <thiebaude> lol
[20:41] <Pici> RDMonkey: stop that
[20:41] <ikonia> RDMonkey: this is an ubuntu technical support channel, do you need help with ubuntu ?
[20:41] <RDMonkey> but
[20:41] <RDMonkey> :c
[20:41] <RDMonkey> okay fine ill go
[20:42] <loganrun> thiebaude, nvidia geforce gts 450, running dual monitor
[20:42] <loganrun> well it looks like under the control pannel I have it set to turn the screen off after 10 minutes, wonder if that will work without the xscreensaver
[20:42] <thiebaude> i have the nvidia 8400 gs on the desktop
[20:43] <loganrun> time to increase my digital vibrance
[20:43] <thiebaude> dalton2345, advanced settings or system settings?
[20:43] <thiebaude> i got both
[20:43] <luc4> Hi! Is there someone who can tell me how to downgrade a single package. The problem is that installing specifying the version is trying to remove half the system for some unknown reason.
[20:43] <jigrap> is it possible to update from the 12.04 nightly build to the stable 12.04 when it gets released at the end of the month?
[20:44] <auronandace> !final | jigrap
[20:44] <thiebaude> jigrap, just keep updating the system
[20:44] <jigrap> cool thanks
[20:44] <thiebaude> yw
[20:44] <thiebaude> :)
[20:44] <jigrap> you guys go in kernel freeze tomorrow?
[20:45] <Zaitzev> anyone here running an ftpserver from their ubuntu 11.10? I want to set one up, tried gadmin-proftpd but that didn't work at all..
[20:45] <luc4> Anyone who noticed that recently any software is crashing with segfaults?
[20:45] <DasEi> luc4: you can remove the current up to-date one, then manually install an older deb/tarball and then lock it in apt from updating, well dependencies might get borked then
[20:46] <mirko1> luc4: caution! i recently damaged another person's system by doing exactly that: forcing downgrade of a single package! so you have any PPA's installed which provide a different version of a required package?
[20:47] <luc4> I think an older version is available, it was upgraded some hours ago. But trying to install the previous is removing a lot of packages.
[20:47] <ikonia> luc4: what is the package ?
[20:47] <luc4> I would like to rollback any update in the last 2 days.
[20:47] <ikonia> luc4: what is the package ?
[20:47] <DasEi> luc4: maybe it's easier to give better advice if you tell whole story, which app causes the problem ?
[20:47] <luc4> libglapi-mesa and some others I suspect are breaking my system.
[20:47] <ikonia> !info libglapi-mesa
[20:48] <ikonia> luc4: what version are you installing ?
[20:48] <luc4> Firefox is segaulting, Qt Creator, Konsole etc...
[20:48] <ikonia> luc4: onething at at time
[20:48] <ikonia> luc4: what version are you installing ?
[20:48] <luc4> The previous was 7.11-0ubuntu3.1.
[20:48] <dalton2345> thiebaude, system setting if i remember correctly
[20:48] <alp> I am still looking for anonymizing flash activity
[20:48] <ikonia> luc4: no, what version are YOU installing
[20:49] <ikonia> alp: not going to happen
[20:49] <ikonia> alp: don't like it - don't use flash
[20:49] <taek>  anonymize flash?
[20:49] <auronandace> alp: flash, as in adobe flash?
[20:49] <ikonia> taek: just nonsense, ingore
[20:49] <luc4> I'm downgrading from 7.11-0ubuntu3.2 to 7.11-0ubuntu3.1.
[20:49] <taek>  use Tor
[20:49] <thiebaude> ok
[20:49] <alp> yes as in adobe
[20:49] <alp> taek, O RLY?
[20:49] <taek>  use Tor or some proxy service
[20:49] <luc4> I would like to rollback any update if possible.
[20:49] <ikonia> luc4: ok I'm stopping helping you as you won't answer my question
[20:49] <alp> ikonia, why?
[20:50] <luc4> ikonia: sorry, then it means I'm not understanding the question.
[20:50] <ikonia> luc4: yeah "what version are you installing" is a tough question
[20:50] <ikonia> luc4: good luck
[20:50] <alp> ikonia, It is not nonsense if you don't know the answer.
[20:51] <alp> auronandace, do you have any idea?
[20:51] <luc4> ikonia: English is not my language, no reason to get angry.
[20:51] <auronandace> alp: flash is closed source, how do you propose to "anonymize" it?
[20:51] <ikonia> alp look it's just tcp IP traffic, so you either need to mask all that, or you could live in the real world and realise that there is no need to anonymise flash
[20:51] <ikonia> luc4: not getting angry, just can't be bothered begging you for information.
[20:52] <taek> you  can 't anonymize flash itself, but you can nonymize yourself by using a proxy service or tor
[20:52] <excelsior> super
[20:52] <taek> Just food for thought
[20:52] <ikonia> alp: the reality is, you don't need to anonymise anything, just use your cmoputer
[20:52] <alp> ikonia, that's it?
[20:52] <luc4> ikonia: I can give you if I understand the question. I don't know what package is causing troubles here, I need to rollback any updates. I was starting with libglapi-mesa.
[20:53] <ikonia> alp yes, what are you trying to hide from who ?
[20:53] <alp> ikonia, from egoists
[20:53] <ikonia> alp: what' the problem, use your computer,
[20:53] <ikonia> alp egoists ? what ?
[20:53] <DasEi> luc4: you could look up system's logs/messages or strace certain crashing apps rather
[20:53] <Zaitzev> I just installed proftpd-basic and wonder what I can do about users, shares and whatnot. Anyone here that can help a little?
[20:53] <alp> ikonia yes, egoist, whom kick you for personal reasons
[20:54] <ikonia> alp kick you from what ?
[20:54] <alp> ikonia, from a room
[20:54] <ikonia> alp: it's just a flash application, what are you trying to hide from ?
[20:54] <auronandace> ikonia: i think he is having a dig at you
[20:54] <luc4> DasEi: applications are segfaulting randomly. Quite difficult. I can try strace.
[20:54] <luc4> DasEi: anyway, I'm sure it was a recent update.
[20:54] <ikonia> auronandace: he's not, he's getting kicked from chat rooms (I wonder why) and wants to hide he's rejoining
[20:54] <alp> ikonia, i am trying to hide myself for no reason, if you are looking for a reason, you can ignore me. thank you.
[20:55] <luc4> DasEi: I'm not the only one experiencing this.
[20:55] <auronandace> ikonia: with flash? that makes no sense
[20:55] <ikonia> auronandace exactly, it's nonsense
[20:55] <luc4> DasEi: any non-trivial application is crashing.
[20:55] <DasEi> luc4: any foreign repos activated ? did an full update&-grade
[20:55] <elijah> I downloaded and installed vsftpd to transfer some files to a local computer, when I to to ftp://192.168.1.100 in nautilus I get a password prompt, i choose anonymous and it boots me out, any ideas? I didn't do any advanced setup.
[20:56] <elijah> I followed basic instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[20:56] <alp> auronandace, ikonia, google everywherechat, mess up with some mods, get banned, it will make sense.
[20:56] <ikonia> alp: look, I can see in 30 seconds you are using the ip 78.185.119.219 you are part of the Turk Telekom network,
[20:56] <ikonia> alp: it's not a problem to see/know this inforamtion
[20:56] <DasEi> elijah: you gave the correwct pass of the remote pc ?
[20:56] <luc4> DasEi: yes, I have some repos for backports.
[20:56] <alp> ikonia, I am not hiding myself from IRC
[20:56] <Aster> Hi!
[20:57] <ikonia> alp: yes, but IRC is tcp IP - the same as your flash chat room
[20:57] <ikonia> alp: so the same can be seen
[20:57] <elijah> DasEi: There is no pass for anon
[20:57] <alp> ikonia, the problem is that site doesn't use tcp IP, they use flash hostnames instead.
[20:57] <Aster> I need help with the xVidCap recording software. Basically, It asks for a folder with my audio device, and I have no idea where that is, can anyone help me?
[20:57] <auronandace> alp: step 1: don't use flash, step 2: obey the rules so you don't get kicked
[20:58] <ikonia> alp it HAS to use IP
[20:58] <ikonia> alp: that's how the internet works
[20:58] <thiebaude> or dont use the internet, just saying
[20:58] <ikonia> alp: dont' worry about it, just use your flash chat and enjoy
[20:58] <ikonia> alp: there is nothing to hide
[20:58] <luc4> DasEi: any way to rollback all the upgrades until a certain day?
[20:58] <auronandace> alp: doesn't use tcp ip? what world are you living in?
[20:58] <urbancommando>  lol
[20:59] <taek> alp why are you concerned about IP address?
[20:59] <urbancommando> what is tcp ip lol
[20:59] <urbancommando> jking
[20:59] <alp> I can hide my IP, I am talking about the FLASH HOSTNAME.
[20:59] <elijah> DasEi: It was the config file, the instructions didn't mention anon is disabled by default
[20:59] <taek> who cares about the flash hostname?
[20:59] <ikonia> alp: ok, then the answer is "talk to the person who wrote the flash application"
[20:59] <DasEi> elijah: working now ?
[20:59] <ssta> so, now that xorg.conf is deprecated, how am I suppose to tell X to emulate a 3 button mouse?
[20:59] <urbancommando> he's using flash protocol
[20:59] <ikonia> alp: the flash application you are using is closed source, so we can't change it to hide it - so talk to the person who wrote the flash application
[20:59] <elijah> DasEi: yes
[20:59] <taek> use adifferent method of connection
[21:00] <DasEi> nice
[21:00] <urbancommando> with flash layers
[21:00] <urbancommando> lol
[21:00] <mirko1> luc4: no, but your problem is like related to a PPA you have installed. as I said i have damaged another system in a similar situation but we where able to repair it wiith ppa-purge
[21:00] <taek> mIRC or something else with SOCKS5 support
[21:00] <Aster> Anyone?
[21:01] <alp> which looks like; 96BC70.9DFD44.62BC19.B8E680
[21:01] <alp> ok thanks for the answer
[21:01] <taek> alp that's anonymizing or rather masking your IP address
[21:01] <luc4> mirko1: If provide my sources.list, can you give it a look?
[21:01] <ssta> ah: sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
[21:01] <DasEi> luc4: well I could tell you, but don't think it's a good idea, rather either drop additional repos or pinpoint the issues app-wise
[21:01] <taek> it's a feature of IRC servers that can't reverse lookup the IP
[21:01] <mirko1> luc4: maybe, pastebin
[21:02] <alp> what about this : ewc-5bdecc07.sasknet.sk.ca, can I anonymize this?
[21:02] <auronandace> alp: so in essence you are asking how to ban-dodge? that may get you banned here
[21:02] <DasEi> luc4: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:03] <luc4> mirko1: http://pastebin.com/9TpjQL05
[21:03] <alp> auronandace, I have my own room, I ban myself, I want to ban-dodge myself, now its legal.
[21:03] <DasEi> luc4:  pastebinit /var/log/syslog
[21:03] <Aster> Anyone?
[21:03] <alp> huh?
[21:03] <luc4> DasEi: ok
[21:03] <DasEi> Aster: haven't seen your question
[21:03] <Aster> I need help with the xVidCap recording software. Basically, It asks for a folder with my audio device, and I have no idea where that is, can anyone help me?
[21:03] <Aster> Well.
[21:04] <Aster> It asks where to capture audio from.
[21:04] <auronandace> alp: please don't ask for help on ban-dodging
[21:04] <DasEi> Aster: never worked with that, guess you should look in /dev/
[21:04] <taek>  alp that's  not a question  for #Ubuntu
[21:04] <soreau> Aster: Is it looking for something like /dev/dsp by chance?
[21:04] <elijah> Can I hook two computers up with ethernet to ftp, easily? Both ubuntu
[21:04] <alp> ok, question closed.
[21:04] <taek> alp: please take your question to #help
[21:04] <luc4> DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/915182/, http://paste.ubuntu.com/915183/
[21:05] <Aster> soreau, yes.
[21:05] <Aster> But it's not capturing anything.
[21:05] <soreau> Aster: Try 'padsp <xvidcap command>'
[21:05] <taher> hi there ...... i have a question .... i deleted tha path variable contents by mistake how to retrive it ?
[21:05] <tdlam> hi folks
[21:05] <taek> Aster is your camera reconized by the PC?
[21:05] <luc4> DasEi: it seems I also found a way to reproduce.
[21:05] <DasEi> elijah: you could, but other ways like rsync over ssh , samba are more effektive, or nfs or such
[21:05] <Aster> It's screencap, taek.
[21:05] <Aster> And, I use an external sound card.
[21:06] <Aster> soreau, what do you mean by xvidcap command? xvidcap has commands?
[21:06] <taek> The screen cap is not capturing so or video?
[21:06] <soreau> Aster: Well how are you startin xvidcap?
[21:06] <taek> err so und or video
[21:06] <Aster> soreau, by double-clicking on it.
[21:06] <tdlam> was wondering if anyone could tell me how to see my windows machines on samba...
[21:07] <taher> there?
[21:07] <taek> tdlam file sharing has to be enabled in windows
[21:07] <urbancommando> DasEi i believe the directory xvidcap uses is /dev/dsp or you can try this http://pastebin.com/8zhH20Yd
[21:07] <taek> if it's windows 7 you have to do extra configuration
[21:07] <tdlam> it is already...on all my machines
[21:08] <taek> Is samba set to a work group?
[21:08] <DasEi> luc4: first guess the extra repo should be commented out, and fsck because of often remounts
[21:08] <tdlam> plain workgroup I believe
[21:08] <soreau> Aster: In your terminal, try padsp xvidcap
[21:08] <luc4> DasEi: so I should comment that repo and update/upgrade?
[21:09] <Aster> soreau, Okay
[21:09] <DasEi> urbancommando: tell Aster ;)
[21:09] <sikilpaake> how can i get my .sh files to open with xfce-terminal?
[21:09] <sikilpaake> and not with "sh"
[21:09] <tdlam> weird because at first i was seeing evrything no problems but now nothing
[21:10] <soreau> sikilpaake: /path/to/file.sh or if it's in the current working directory, ./file.sh
[21:10] <DasEi> luc4: yes, but if you did with it enabled, will have to wait some time or re-install followed up packages
[21:10] <taek> tdlam have you since retarted the windows machines?
[21:10] <tdlam> yes all of them
[21:10] <sikilpaake> soreau: i meant assocation, though
[21:10] <Aster> soreau, I don't see a change in the prefrences.
[21:10] <DasEi> sikilpaake: ./blah.sh
[21:10] <taek> Including ubunttu?
[21:10] <tdlam> ty for your help BTW
[21:10] <soreau> sikilpaake: Oh I don't know, maybe in some xfce setting
[21:10] <sikilpaake> soreau:
[21:11] <sikilpaake> soreau: ok
[21:11] <soreau> Aster: preferences?
[21:11] <luc4> DasEi: and sorry, what about fsck?
[21:11] <taek> tdlam have you restarted the samba server or the system it runs on?\
[21:11] <DasEi> luc4: your syslog shows lot of ro-remount erros, so I'd check the hd from a live medium
[21:11] <Aster> soreau, yeah, it still says my audio capture folder thing is dev/dsp
[21:12] <luc4> DasEi: I'm not the only one experiencing this.
[21:12] <tdlam> sorry could you tell me how to restrt my samba server? I'm on a xubuntu laptop ATM
[21:12] <urbancommando> DasEi it seems that the /dev/dsp is obsolete so one option is to use padsp to run it. Try padsp xidcap in terminal
[21:12] <luc4> DasEi: So it shouldn't be machine-specific.
[21:12] <taek> Terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[21:12] <soreau> Aster: When you use psdsp, it's supposed to simulate /dev/dsp for the program running under it
[21:12] <DasEi> urbancommando: it's still Asters issue, not mine ;)
[21:12] <Aster> soreau, Oh. I see.
[21:12] <urbancommando> oh lol
[21:12] <taek> tdlam - Terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[21:12] <Jazzofilus> hi
[21:13] <DasEi> urbancommando: DasEi it seems that the /dev/dsp is obsolete so one option is to use padsp to run it. Try padsp xidcap in terminal  << Aster
[21:13] <urbancommando> Aster try padsp xvidcap in terminal lol
[21:13] <idan_> hey! i need help, How can i make qbitorrent start on startup?
[21:13] <idan_> there is any way to? i'm in ubuntu 11.10
[21:13] <urbancommando> DasEi sry lol
[21:13] <idan_> hey! i need help, How can i make qbitorrent start on startup?
[21:13] <mirko1> idan_: Sytem -> Preferences -> Startup Aplications
[21:13] <luc4> DasEi: I commented out deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, but nothing was done.
[21:13] <BlueEagle> idan_: Do you want to start it upon startup or upon login?
[21:14] <DasEi> urbancommando: np, that shows you're busy, haha
[21:14] <tdlam> ok I'll try it now brb TYTY
[21:14] <BlueEagle> !patience | idan_
[21:14] <luc4> DasEi: Did I do something wrong?
[21:14] <taher> i deleted tha path variable contents by mistake how to retrive it ?
[21:14] <taek> tdlam no problem
[21:14] <bekks> taher: Where did you delete them?
[21:14] <DasEi> luc4: no, but as I told you last post, if there was something installed from it which conflicts, you will have re-install it
[21:15] <DasEi> have to*
[21:15] <tdlam> hmmm got this error:
[21:15] <tdlam> sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found
[21:15] <luc4> DasEi: can I know what was installed from that repo?
[21:15] <taher> bekks : from konsol
[21:15] <cypher-neo> Is there any way to uninstall the Ubuntu Software Center? I have Synaptic installed, and I hate the USC popping up every time I want to install a file.
[21:15] <DasEi> tdlam: sudo service samba start
[21:15] <DasEi> ..stop
[21:15] <bekks> taher: and _where_?
[21:15] <bekks> taher: What exactly did you do?
[21:15] <tdlam> ok trying BRB tyty
[21:16] <taek> As DasEi stated,  alternative way
[21:16] <tdlam> unrecognised service...hmmm
[21:16] <mirko1> and /etc/init.d/smbd without using service
[21:17] <urbancommando> idan_ you can use the startup ...
[21:17] <taher> i'm on scientfic linux ..... i added new content to the path  variable but the old other deleted .... don't know why exactly
[21:17] <zormit> hi. got problems with occasionally laggy computer, but don't know where/what to search for.
[21:17] <tdlam> could my samba be currpted in some way? I can print form my windows 7 network printer though form this laptop
[21:17] <xangua> cypher-neo: if you mean to install debs from external sources, you can install gdebi
[21:17] <xangua> !info gdeb | cypher-neo
[21:17] <bekks> taher: Scientific linux isnt Ubuntu. We're sorry, but we cant help you.
[21:17] <xangua> !info gdebi
[21:17] <taek> tdlam try /etc/init.d/smbd restart
[21:17] <Zal> zormit, "top" will tell you if something is monopolizing your CPU
[21:17] <taek> as stated  by mirko1
[21:18] <taher> bekks thank U ..... bt i thought it is the same concept
[21:18] <tdlam> ok trying ty
[21:18] <zormit> Zal: i tried htop, but could not see a process monopolizing CPU. will try top though.
[21:19] <tdlam> Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[21:19] <tdlam> utility, e.g. service smbd restart
[21:19] <tdlam> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[21:19] <tdlam> Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
[21:19] <tdlam> e.g. stop smbd ; start smbd. The restart(8) utility is also available.
[21:19] <tdlam> stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.141" (uid=1000 pid=635 comm="stop smbd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Stop" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
[21:19] <FloodBot1> tdlam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:19] <DasEi> tdlam: sudo initctl restart smbd , but believe it's init/upstart nowadays
[21:19] <auronandace> zormit: htop is just a pretty top, they will give the same results
[21:19] <DasEi> I believe*
[21:19] <DasEi> oo
[21:19] <luc4> DasEi: I'm sure the problem arised today. In my changelog I see libglapi-mesa was updated. If I try to downgrade apt-get wants to remove hundreds of packages. Do you know why?
[21:20] <DasEi> dependencies ?!
[21:20] <zormit> auronandace: ok.
[21:20] <tdlam> not used to chat rooms sorry folks
[21:20] <DasEi> !paste | tdlam
[21:20] <luc4> DasEi: that library was installed today. So the previous had the same dependencies more or less. It is almost the last update done.
[21:20] <zormit> It algs especially after booting. Also, when I chance the display settings (got 2 displays)
[21:21] <zormit> s/algs/lags
[21:21] <luc4> DasEi: I'm not trying to remove it, but to downgrade it.
[21:21] <DasEi> luc4: yes, but they are there.. version back or forth, so ..
[21:21] <DasEi> !clone
[21:21] <DasEi> .. then remove, then re-clone
[21:22] <luc4> DasEi: sorry, what is re-clone?
[21:22] <DasEi> luc4: but just local oc, no other machine
[21:22] <sikilpaake> soreau: figured it out, thanks!
[21:23] <DasEi> luc4: you get a list of currently installed packages, do the removal , and then get previous selection back
[21:23] <kosaidpo> hello guys anyone using T&A modem 3G ??
[21:23] <tdlam> smbd start/running, process 700 <-thats what terminal now said
[21:23] <DasEi> tdlam: greetings
[21:24] <tdlam> hi Dasei
[21:24] <taek> tdlam check to see if you can now see the windows machines
[21:24] <luc4> DasEi: oh, ok, so I let it remove and then I reinstall those? Thanks, I'll try!
[21:24] <tdlam> ok Im checking and ty all
[21:24] <mirko1> tdlam: good. that's the correct message if the smbd service is restarted
[21:24] <DasEi> luc4: see given link, convienent command listet there, are just two
[21:24] <tdlam> no it wont see them
[21:25] <tdlam> I get an error messgae
[21:25] <sckauter> hello
[21:26] <sckauter> where i can find the latest kernel for ubuntu 10.04? pls
[21:26] <tdlam> "failed to get shared list form server"
[21:26] <auronandace> !info linux-generic lucid | sckauter
[21:26] <urbancommando> do you have shared folders enable on the windows machine?
[21:27] <mirko1> tdlam: might be a surprise to you, but error-messages are printed for a reason. the tell *what* error hapened. do *always* post the *excat* error message (copy/paste, don't retype(
[21:27] <tdlam> err...ok...gimme a sec
[21:28] <sckauter> so version 2.6.32.40.47 (lucid) is the latest kernel for 10.04?
[21:28] <tdlam> Failed to retrieve share list from server.
[21:28] <auronandace> sckauter: indeed
[21:28] <sckauter> ok
[21:28] <tdlam> its in a winow dialougue box
[21:29] <tdlam> *window
[21:29] <d-snutz> ubuntu question, any linux gods out there?
[21:29] <DasEi> !ask
[21:29] <tdlam> thats what I get when I click on the network icon in my home folder
[21:30] <d-snutz> DasEi, i dont know what i did, but when i try to remove gwibber, empathy, brasero etc, its trying to remove desktop environment with it...  any suggestions?
[21:30] <sckauter> because im on low resolution :( 1024x768 instead 1600x900
[21:31] <tomreyn> hi! I'd like to use dkms but for some reason it never really works for automatically building the virtualbox modules on my oneiric system and i always need to resort to m-a update && m-a a-i virtualbox-source. could someone help me fix this?
[21:31] <auronandace> sckauter: kernel version doesn't affect your screen resolution, the graphics driver does
[21:32] <bibi23> hi, I've got an error when using sqlite with php pdo, (I've installed sqlite3.so extension and enabled it)
[21:32] <sckauter> so i need instal de drivers?
[21:32] <bibi23> it says the driver isn't found, do you know why?
[21:32] <bekks> tomreyn: From where did you install virtualbox? From the official packages from www.virtualbox.org?
[21:32] <auronandace> sckauter: indeed, you need the right graphics drivers
[21:32] <dalton2345> lot of people using ubunty in a virtual machine...i dont understand why
[21:32] <BathOryx> bibi23: Actually install sqlite3
[21:33] <BathOryx> bibi23: Yes, theres, sqlite3, and the pdo-thing for sqlite3.
[21:33] <tdlam> do you think the problem may be with the windows computers?
[21:33] <tomreyn> bekks: i'm using the OSE distribution, i.e. the packages provided by ubuntu
[21:33] <auronandace> dalton2345: vms are great testbeds
[21:33] <sckauter> ok ty auronandace  im going try install the nvidia drivers
[21:33] <DasEi> d-snutz: hardly, as it depends on each other, you could just get it out the menu
[21:33] <bekks> tomreyn: I'd purge them and use the official packages.
[21:33] <mirko1> tdlam: most probably there's some problem with your network configuration (or SMB config, like workgroup name or such). it's hard to diagnose this over irc
[21:34] <bekks> tomreyn: They do work :)
[21:34] <auronandace> sckauter: use the ones from the repos (not the nvidia site)
[21:34] <dalton2345> auronandace, not as much as a dual boot
[21:34] <tdlam> because as I said I can PRINT form the windows shared network printer...I just can't see the other computers...
[21:34] <sckauter> auronandace,  how?
[21:34] <tomreyn> bekks: this would not fix this issue. and i like open source software.
[21:34] <tdlam> oh ok ty mirkol
[21:34] <sckauter> :(
[21:34] <bibi23> BathOryx: i've juste installed it, restarted apache, still got the error...
[21:34] <auronandace> dalton2345: a vm is better as a testbed, dual-boot can affect what is currently on your disk, for better or worse
[21:34] <tdlam> I do appreciate all your kind help
[21:35] <auronandace> !nvidia | sckauter
[21:35] <bekks> tomreyn: Actually, it fixes that issue. It does not fix the second point ;)
[21:35] <bibi23> when I look in a phpinfo I can see hat the extension is enabled
[21:35] <sckauter> wooww ty auronandace
[21:35] <tomreyn> bekks: the PUEL püackages work with dkms?
[21:35] <auronandace> sckauter: no worries :)
[21:35] <tomreyn> -ü
[21:35] <DasEi> brb
[21:35] <dalton2345> auronandace, i never had trouble with dual boot, and i think its a better way to testing
[21:36] <bekks> tomreyn: There is no PUEL anymore since 4.x - ONLY the extension pack is licensed under PUEL, everything else is OSE.
[21:36] <d-snutz> DasEi, ive done it before but had a problem...  anyway i cant do it again for some reason
[21:36] <BathOryx> bibi23: sudo apt-get install sqlite php5-sqlite
[21:36] <genii-around> BathOryx: From the results at http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=sqlite3.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=oneiric&arch=any it's probably the package php-sqlite you need to provide sqlite3.so from the repositories
[21:36] <auronandace> dalton2345: if you are testing hardware yes, but a vm is simply safer
[21:36] <tdlam> well thank you all for your help...I'll see if I can hunt stuff down in the forums...perhaps I can find answers there
[21:36] <Zx432> Why are flash movies like example youtube lagging?
[21:36] <tdlam> all the best to you all
[21:36] <DasEi> d-snutz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1856991
[21:37] <auronandace> dalton2345: but like you, i've had no trouble dual-booting (thats because guys like us know what we are doing :) )
[21:37] <mirko1> tdlam: check if your machines are in the same sub-net, have the same workgroup, no firewall is blocking, no advanced authetication is used, etc, the most simple set up possible
[21:37] <tomreyn> bekks: thaks for pointing this out. you sneaked around answering my queston there, though. ;-)
[21:37] <dalton2345> auronandace, but its not the same as far as speed, and the allence experi
[21:37] <dalton2345> the all experience*
[21:38] <Defusal_> hi everyone
[21:38] <bekks> tomreyn: Using the official packages will solve your problem.
[21:38] <BathOryx> bibi23: Got it now?
[21:38] <tdlam> windows machines are in HOMEGROUP...but wierd thig is that this xubuntu laptop saw them all at forst no problem...I was eevn streaming vids form one of them...then nothing
[21:38] <mirko1> Zx432: what graphics hardware (and currently used drivers)?
[21:38] <pfifo> Does ubuntu have a tc front end?
[21:38] <genii-around> tdlam: I've found the most common issue when a machine can't be found automatically on the network, is that no broadcast address was given in the network setup
[21:39] <auronandace> dalton2345: you are right, but i was talking as a testbed, somewhere that is safe to muck things up in
[21:39] <Defusal_> can anyone tell me how i can restore sound when i used startx to restart gui, which started a XFCE desktop manager and now sound does not work?
[21:39] <DasEi> pfifo: tc=truecrypt ?
[21:39] <tomreyn> bekks: 'official' is very subjective in this case. i tend to consider those packaged by my distribution to be 'official', not upstreams'
[21:39] <mirko1> tdlam: so what happened before the problem arose?
[21:39] <tdlam> hmmm I dont know what that is about sorry...I'm not a very advanced user truth to tell
[21:39] <Defusal_> if anyone has any idea, please let me know, i have 4 minutes to solve this
[21:39] <dalton2345> true auronandace just saying i never experienced the best of linux via virtualbox
[21:39] <tomreyn> bekks: anyway, thanks for your opinion, that's good to know
[21:39] <Defusal_> else i have to make another plan and leave the machine till later
[21:40] <pfifo> DasEi, tc, traffic control
[21:40] <bekks> tomreyn: The packages from the developers arent upstream (their svn tree is). :)
[21:40] <tdlam> you know mirkol...I probably installed some app or some such...had to be that
[21:40] <bekks> tomreyn: Their packages are the official reference packages they do support.
[21:40] <DasEi> Defusal_: try sudo service alsa-utils (re)start
[21:40] <Zx432> GF 8800GT 640M 512MB DDR3 nvidia
[21:40] <tdlam> been configuring theis laptop over the last few days and am pretty new to linux
[21:40] <Defusal_> DasEi: alsa-utils: unrecognized service
[21:41] <sckauter> auronandace,  Go to System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers   --> i cant see the "Additional Drivers"
[21:41] <sckauter> strange
[21:41] <Zx432> drivers are Nvidias
[21:41] <tdlam> would uninstalling then reinstalling samba be a choice?
[21:41] <bibi23> BathOryx: thanks it's working know, I think the sqlite3 extension wasn't compatible with my php version? with pdo_sqlite.so it's working
[21:41] <bibi23> I'm in PHP 5.3.6
[21:42] <Defusal_> sigh, im so screwed
[21:42] <Defusal_> DasEi: thanks anyway for trying
[21:42] <BathOryx> bibi23: Nah, some crap sometimes gets changed/renamed.
[21:43] <auronandace> sckauter: might be called restricted drivers in 10.04, i can't remember
[21:43] <gadien> where can i find help with bash_completion?
[21:43] <abhisinghal> i wanat to remove ubuntu .How to do that? In which partition ubuntu is installed
[21:43] <BathOryx> bibi23: Or it could be that sqlite3 packages relied on sqlite for it to work properly. (Sometimes, extensions, or packages are not always a standalone).
[21:43] <sckauter> auronandace,  nops, i dont have restricted drivers
[21:43] <sckauter> :(
[21:44] <BathOryx> bibi23: Hey, whatcha using to browse/see in your sqlite databases?
[21:44] <bibi23> BathOryx: phpliteadmin
[21:44] <DasEi> Defusal_: sudo alsa force reload
[21:44] <auronandace> sckauter: try opening a terminal and typing jockey-gtk or gtk-jockey
[21:45] <auronandace> sckauter: its one or the other, i can't remember which way around
[21:45] <zorael> does anyone know how to get dnsmasq to use my VPN's nameservers? example: http://pastie.org/3729540
[21:45] <Zx432> Why are flash movies like example youtube lagging? I am using GF 8800GT 640M 512MB DDR3 nvidia on a Intel quad core.
[21:45] <tdlam> this is a noob question but how do i acess samba preferences in xubuntu? is it in a drop down menu?
[21:46] <Zx432> on 4 gb of DDR3.
[21:47] <rhin0> i think you have to install samba as an application tdlam
[21:47] <mirko1> tdlam: sorry can't help further, don't have any samba setup available at the moment :-(
[21:47] <DasEi> pfifo: not really the answer you looked for, you could use something like wondershaper in conjunction with a visual networking device, ntop and many more
[21:47] <tdlam> oh ok you guys are good folks thanks for the help
[21:47] <BathOryx> bibi23: I use: http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/ on my desktop, and http://sqlbuddy.com/
[21:47] <xangua> Zx432: flash sucks on *nix in general, you can try html5 on youtube
[21:47] <xangua> the thml5 player*
[21:48] <Zx432> don't I need acconut for that?
[21:48] <DasEi> mirko1: same here, just setting it all up agin, samba in the age of ssh ? many things changed
[21:48] <BathOryx> sqlitestudio is not a webpage app, but it's awesome and always up to date.
[21:49] <gadien> i know this is a noob question, but where can I get help on bash_completion?
[21:49] <DasEi> gadien: #bash
[21:49] <DasEi> gadien: or just need the info TAB-key ?
[21:49] <bibi23> BathOryx: yes they look good too ;)
[21:50] <gadien> DasEi, I went there but they told me it was a debian project
[21:50] <DasEi> gadien: what is the actual question ?
[21:50] <mirko1> DasEi: well, it's only that my last win machine is broken, i normaly have working samba setup, but yeah, smbfs rules! ;)
[21:51] <gadien> DasEi, I have the text loaded in clipboard
[21:51] <DasEi> gadien: and..
[21:52] <gadien> DasEi, acctually, My terminal always starts out with all these errors about bash_completion
[21:53] <DasEi> gadien: which errors? text in clipboard ?
[21:54] <gadien> DasEi, I'll paste it in a private channel?
[21:54] <DasEi> !paste
[21:54] <gadien> bash: /etc/bash_completion: line 1583: syntax error near unexpected token `curl'

[21:55] <DasEi> gadien: see above , use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[21:56] <gadien> DasEi, ok.
[21:56] <DasEi> gadien: and what is the conjunction with clipboard or was it just that you had the error in clipboard? ah ok
[21:57] <gadien> DasEi, yes i copied the begining and kept it in clipboard until someone was ready to view the jargon
[21:58] <Kircle> I installed emerald in 11.10 but have decided against using it. I've removed all it's files yet after several minutes of using Ubuntu the window manager will stop working as I suddenly have no border around my windows (so no close, minimise and maximise buttons etc). Why might this be happening?
[21:59] <Crazydan> apt-get update fails for me
[21:59] <elkclone_>  /close
[22:00] <genii-around> Crazydan: Are you using sudo with it?
[22:00] <soreau> Kircle: You might need to set gtk-window-decorator in ccsm>Window Decoration>Command field
[22:00] <Crazydan> no
[22:00] <mirko1> Kircle: emerald is just a window-border decorator, not a window manager (for compiz) , you need to set metacity as the windoemanager gain
[22:00] <genii-around> Crazydan: sudo apt-get update
[22:00] <Crazydan> ok
[22:00] <gadien> DasEi, so, what am I supposed to do with the text? paste it again?
[22:01] <BathOryx> bibi23: http://demo.mywebsql.net/       <---- That one is also nice.
[22:01] <Crazydan> same thing
[22:01] <DasEi> gadien: http://paste.ubuntu.com  << call in browser, paste clipboard there, press paste-button, give changed url from browser here
[22:01] <Crazydan> brb gonna pastebin it
[22:02] <gadien> DasEi, oh ok
[22:02] <Kircle> soreau I have the entry 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' in that field. what should I change it to?
[22:02] <Tasmania> isn't most commands used with sudo password protected?
[22:02] <DasEi> gadien: as example : http://paste.ubuntu.com/915244/
[22:02] <gadien> DasEi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/915240/
[22:02] <DasEi> yupp
[22:03] <Tasmania> I just wanted to make sure.
[22:03] <Crazydan> paste.ubuntu.com/915245/
[22:03] <bibi23> BathOryx: yep, but I don't use sqlite a lot, it's only use it for phpunit tests so I don't really need an interface
[22:03] <soreau> Kircle: Make sure that gtk-window-decorator exists and you have compiz-gnome installed
[22:04] <DasEi> bash: /etc/bash_completion: line 1583: `curl cut date df diff dir du enscript env expand fmt fold gperf gprof'    is the issue, did you add any funcionality involving curl ? , gadien ?
[22:04] <BathOryx> bibi23: Well at least you know those tools exists, now you wont be pointed to these other whack SQL tools.
[22:04] <BathOryx> sqlite*
[22:05] <bibi23> aha do you mean phpliteadmin?
[22:05] <Kircle> soreau Both are present.
[22:05] <Crazydan> any help? paste.ubuntu.com/915245/
[22:05] <soreau> Kircle: Are you sure compiz is running? Can you move windows with Alt+Drag even without the border?
[22:06] <DasEi> gadien: I gtg soon, generate another pastie for the next one : sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/bash_completition
[22:06] <Tasmania> Is it possible to run Ubuntu - Linux in Virtualbox?
[22:06] <xangua> Tasmania: yes
[22:06] <K-Rich> why isn't this working: ls -laR !(folder_to_exclude/)
[22:06] <Kircle> soreau the window border has just gone again. But yes I can move the window with alt and drag
[22:06] <kantlivelong> is there a guide for making a usbiso for mac using linux?
[22:06] <zykotick9> Kircle: did you say it works, then stops?  Keep in mind that compiz isn't the most stable thing in the universe.  but it sounds to me, like it's crashing.
[22:06] <Crazydan> i'm running it with chroot
[22:06] <Tasmania> Will it ever disconnect if there's no internet access?
[22:06] <K-Rich> i've already done shopts -s extglob
[22:07] <DasEi> !unetbootin | kantlivelong
[22:07] <soreau> Kircle: So the border appears then disappears later? the decorator is probably crashing in that case
[22:07] <gadien> DasEi, I have no idea frankly, I installed 11.10 and the auto complete was not functioning so i did reasearch and they told me to do something so i did it
[22:07] <xangua> Kircle: for using emerald on oneiric you must have done some weird stuff, what did you do¿
[22:07] <DasEi> gadien: I gtg soon, generate another pastie for the next one : sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/bash_completition
[22:07] <DasEi> .. give url here
[22:07] <kantlivelong> DasEi: i know how to make a ubuntu bootable usb but isnt it different for mac machines?
[22:07] <Crazydan> paste.ubuntu.com/915245/
[22:07] <Crazydan> paste.ubuntu.com/915245/
[22:07] <Crazydan> paste.ubuntu.com/915245/
[22:07] <FloodBot1> Crazydan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:08] <soreau> xangua: emerald master works with 11.10
[22:08] <Tasmania> It sounds like a stupid question but an old friend of mine told me vps's connections are always connected no matter what state your original internet connection is in.
[22:08] <Crazydan> i wouldn't flood if soneone helped
[22:08] <xangua> soreau: emerald master¿
[22:08] <Kircle> xangua there was a thread on ubuntuforums on how to. You had to make it from source. I remember fiddiling with it in the past and had a similar problem. I forgot I vowed never to stray from gnome.
[22:08] <soreau> xangua: emerald compiz++ branch actually, on cgit.compiz.org
[22:09] <BathOryx> Crazydan: With such words pouring out your mouth, reading that slightly discourage us from helping you. Just wait a bit.
[22:09] <gadien> DasEi,  ok i get it hang on
[22:09] <xangua> Crazydan: jaunty is no longer supported
[22:09] <douglaslucas> Recommend an FTP client for Gnome3 Ocelot ?
[22:09] <xangua> !eol | Crazydan
[22:09] <Kircle> soreau should I run compiz in terminal and see why it crashes?
[22:09] <soreau> Kircle: or gtk-window-decorator, depending on what's crashing
[22:10] <Crazydan> can't upgrade :(
[22:10] <myr> anyone recommend an easy network manager for e17?
[22:10] <Crazydan> best my phone can run
[22:10] <Crazydan> is there a way to point it at other repositories?
[22:10] <DasEi> kantlivelong: process should be fine, but on the mac mention last part of :http://tinyurl.com/2uqw47e
[22:11] <zykotick9> myr: you basically have 3 options: A) no network manager B) Network-Manager C) wicd
[22:11] <gadien> DasEi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/915252/
[22:12] <Raptors> Hey, if any of you guys use reddit it'd be great if you guys upvote the "How linux is build" video under /r/videos. It's get linux more exposure. It's already on the top page
[22:12] <myr> zykotick9, dose network-manager provide a gui via tray icon? or would I need network-manager-gnome
[22:12] <Raptors> http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/rt083/how_linux_is_built/
[22:12] <xangua> Raptors: don't spam please
[22:12] <Raptors> xangua, how is that spam?
[22:12] <Raptors> :/
[22:12] <zykotick9> myr: you'd probably need network-manager-gnome (i'm not 100% on that)
[22:12] <xangua> !ot | Raptors
[22:12] <Raptors> I am not making any money off it
[22:13] <myr> zykotick9, all right, thanks for your help!
[22:13] <Raptors> k :/
[22:13] <zykotick9> myr: is this a "mini" install?  if you need wireless you'd need GDM for network-manager to connect...
[22:13] <DasEi> gadien: I'm of now try again with sudo pastebinit /etc/bash_completition
[22:13] <DasEi> off*
[22:13] <myr> zykotick9, i installed ubuntu 11.04 mini, nodm, e17. works great. I am able to connect to my wireless with command-line
[22:14] <DasEi> and check your curl line 1583
[22:14] <gadien> DasEi,  Unable to read.
[22:14] <zykotick9> myr: ya, if you try N-M it might look like everything is working, but it doesn't connect.  if you run into that, you need GDM...
[22:14] <DasEi> gadien: open in editor then, sry , gtg now
[22:15] <gadien> DasEi, thanks anyway
[22:15] <zykotick9> myr: i'm stuck using wicd-curses on my EEE because of that N-M anti-feature
[22:15] <mirko1> DasEi, gardar: not sure but perhaps his/her /etc/bash_completion  is broken, maybe s/he should try: sudo apt-get purge bash-completion ; sudo apt-get install bash-completion
[22:16] <myr> zykotick9, i'm using an eeepc 701 (630MHz celeron M with 512k ram & 4gb ssd) -- I'd rather not use gdm if possible
[22:16] <gadien> mirko1, you mean me?
[22:17] <zykotick9> myr: ya, i don't want GDM on my EEE either ;)  i use mainly command line and a windows manager only (but i've got a whole lot more room then your 4GB ;)
[22:17] <mirko1> gadien:  yes, but it's only a guess, I'd like to be it confirmed. ;)
[22:17] <matty75> Hi. Just got a new lenovo and am having some trouble getting the install iso to boot.
[22:18] <gadien> mirko1, ok, I'll do that then
[22:18] <Kircle> When I opened chrome that's when compiz seemed to stop http://pastebin.com/sK65v4Fi
[22:19] <Elchzard> phpsysinfo won't display my distro name :(
[22:19] <Elchzard> lsb_release -a works fine and gives the output it should
[22:19] <Elchzard> 10.04 LTS
[22:19] <matty75> Anybody good with boot params?
[22:20] <myr> zykotick9, i will try n-m and see how it goes
[22:20] <zykotick9> matty75: are you getting a black screen?
[22:20] <mirko1> matty75: so what's the actual problem?
[22:20] <matty75> The graphics are all scrambled
[22:21] <zykotick9> matty75: is this one of those intel/nvidia laptops?  or do you know what gfx card is in it?
[22:21] <matty75> Intel hd in a laptop
[22:22] <matty75> Lenovo
[22:22] <gadien> mirko1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/915260/ and I'm male :)
[22:22] <Kircle> Yeah whenever I open chrome compiz stops saying 'segmentation fault'
[22:22] <mirko1> matty75:  you can try nomodeset
[22:23] <BathOryx> So?
[22:23] <gadien> mirko1, not that i'm insinuating.. nvm
[22:23] <matty75> How do i do that? I cant Even read thw screen to type
[22:23] <matty75> *the
[22:23] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | matty75
[22:23] <zykotick9> i've never heard of nomodeset being required for intel... but maybe?
[22:24] <matty75> Ok, thanks... its a brand new lappy
[22:24] <mirko1> gadien: worked well, problem still there?
[22:24] <allie83> when making a boot cd for xubuntu do i want to make a data or image?
[22:25] <roasted> Hello! I just purchased a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop. I was reading a review and the review mentioned the touchpad is not Synaptic and that it is Alps. I've never heard of Alps. Are Alps touchpad highly supported in Ubuntu?
[22:25] <bekks> allie83: When having an .iso file, you want image.
[22:25] <allie83> of course i did the opposite...thank you bekks!
[22:26] <zykotick9> roasted: i believe it should be fine - i've seen alps touchpads mentioned plenty (never used had one myself though)
[22:26] <gadien> mirko1, it appears to have gone back to how it was originally. idk, my initial problem was the auto completion in finding folder paths. i'll just have a look, see if it is the same
[22:26] <roasted> zykotick9: sounds good. I just kind of panicked because I was hoping I didn't make a wrong purchase. I never knew anything else existed.
[22:26] <roasted> zykotick9: first glance on Google revealed some users with issues, but then again, googling the same but -alps +synaptic yielded the same...
[22:26] <Rovanion> My sound has stopped working, and when I run alsamixer in a terminal it tells me that some file or folder cannot be found.
[22:27] <zykotick9> roasted: i like your google observation ;)  i'm sure it'll work out.
[22:27] <skel> a lot of touchpad issues for alps and elantech are fixed in 12.04 / 3.2 kernel
[22:27] <gadien> mirko1, it's working fine now :) auto completion is the way it should be
[22:28] <roasted> zykotick9: yeah. only semi scary point is someone on askubuntu said they were having issues, even with kernel 3.3 they said as a matter of days ago.
[22:28] <borkd> I need help recovering data from a crashed hard drive
[22:28] <roasted> borkd: fire up a live cd and see if you can mount the failed hard drive.
[22:28] <roasted> Guest96601: ^^
[22:28] <skel> borkd: Is the partition table still in-tact?
[22:28] <zykotick9> roasted: eeek...  that's not promising.
[22:28] <erisuco> debian or ubuntu?
[22:29] <mirko1> gadien: fine! :-) and for folder (directoy) completion see the readline settings "set mark-directories on" and "set mark-symlinked-directories on"
[22:29] <benwalburn> I'm trying to update my BIOS for my dell inspirion 1545. the dell website says A14 is the current version and I'm currently on A02. but when I use update_firmware, it says there's no available updates
[22:29] <roasted> zykotick9: no kidding, but I heard a lot of E4300 users say "it works great on Ubuntu!" which makes me think maybe that user was tinkering with things they shouldn't have.
[22:29] <zykotick9> erisuco: yellor or green?
[22:29] <erisuco> yellow
[22:29] <skel> Guest96601: I'd recommend http://sysresccd.org/ for a livecd
[22:29] <bekks> benwalburn: Then read the README very carefully, since you might have to upgrade in more than one step, like A02->A05->A09->A11-A15.
[22:29] <matty75> Zykotick9:  is there a way to activate nomodeset without booting to the splashscreen first... cant see it
[22:30] <bekks> benwalburn: And thats not an Ubuntu problem either ;)
[22:30] <zykotick9> matty75: you don't see the first one with the stick figure on it?  hummm, sorry don't know.
[22:30] <benwalburn> bekks: where is the readme?
[22:30] <zykotick9> !tab > matty75
[22:30] <benwalburn> bekks: it's ALWAYS dell's fault. I know this very well
[22:31] <bekks> benwalburn: In the archive you've downloaded or on the website you got the update from.
[22:31] <skel> Guest96601: there's a program on that livecd called photorec thats fairly good at pulling data of completely crashed filesystems where the hardware isn't gone totally bad (ie the disk heads read and the platter spins)
[22:32] <Rovanion> My sound has stopped working, and when I run alsamixer in a terminal it tells me that some file or folder cannot be found.
[22:32] <Rovanion> This is after I removed some Gnome packages, must have dragged with it some dependencies.
[22:33] <Rovanion> But I do have alsa-utils and alsa along with pulseaudio still installed.
[22:33] <benwalburn> bekks: I was under the impression that update_firmware downloaded it for me. the only place I know to download won't work. I click download and nothing happens. Do you have any suggestions?
[22:33] <Seveas> Rovanion, and which file is missing?
[22:34] <matty75> Zykotick9 ii can see purple, but its all scrambled so i cant read it
[22:34] <_Tristan> Hello. I just got a power cut during a module installation, and now the computer won't get last "loading ramdisk" when booting. Tried recovery mode and older kernels, same thing. Any ideas?
[22:34] <Rovanion> Seveas: I have no idea. All I got is that when I try to start alsamixer it tells me: The file or folder does not exist
[22:34] <Seveas> oh, so alsamixer itself is missing?
[22:34] <zykotick9> matty75: sorry I don't have any other suggestions :|  zyk<TAB> is a lot easier then Z-y-k-o-t-i-c-k-9
[22:35] <Rovanion> Seveas: No it's installed and tries to open some file it seems, exact error: cannot open mixer: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
[22:35] <matty75> Zykotick9 i know... no tab key on my phone :)
[22:35] <zykotick9> matty75: ahhhh
[22:36] <Seveas> Rovanion, can you run this for me and pastebin the output: LC_ALL=C LANG=C strace alsamixer
[22:36] <Rovanion> _Tristan: Start from a live CD, chroot into the filesystem and try to do something something dark side. Can't remember exactly what.
[22:36] <mattfury> hello
[22:36] <_Tristan> great.. this computer HATES livecds...
[22:36] <mattfury> i want to run an armel version of ubuntu on my droid, but its only armv7
[22:37] <Rovanion> Seveas: Here you go: http://pastebin.com/tjEtyRYX
[22:37] <mattfury> you only support armv9?
[22:37] <_Tristan> Rovanion: Any idea where I should start looking for this dark-side thingthing?
[22:38] <Seveas> open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
[22:38] <Seveas> Rovanion, can you do 'id' and pastebin the output?
[22:39] <XGaryG> I use Empathy to access Yahoo. What would I need to install to chat thru my webcam?
[22:39] <Rovanion> _Tristan: I was thinking something along the lines of chrooting to the root partition and rerunning the upgrade. Either that or finding out what does the kernel module building.
[22:40] <_Tristan> Rovanion: Well, it was a module for a wifi dongle, which probably didn't and won't work
[22:40] <Rovanion> Seveas: Thank you for your time, here you go: http://pastebin.com/5AFR2xRA
[22:40] <Seveas> hah, i was right.
[22:40] <_Tristan> I tried it once, it failed, I tried it a second time, power cut
[22:41] <Seveas> Rovanion, you're not in the 'audio' group
[22:41] <Seveas> so you're not allowed to access audio devices.
[22:41] <cba123> I have a flashdrive that was booting ubuntu just fine.  For some reason now it's just saying "Boot Error".  I've remade the USB Boot drive with both usb-creater-gtk, and unetbootin and it's the same thing.  It boots on another machine though, so I'm not sure what the issue could be.  Any advice?
[22:41] <Rovanion> Seveas: Yeah, that's right. adduser -g audio ?
[22:42] <Seveas> You can fix that with the users & groups tool or on the command line with: gpasswd -a rov audio'
[22:42] <genii-around> Rovanion: Put -a for append or "audio" will be the ONLY group you're in
[22:42] <Rovanion> genii-around: Sweet, thanks!
[22:42] <Seveas> genii-around, that's why I always use gpasswd for this :)
[22:42] <kantlivelong> is there a macbook channel?
[22:43] <W0rmDrink> hi
[22:44] <W0rmDrink> when I ssh into ubuntu I get a message - how do I disable this
[22:44] <Seveas> W0rmDrink, sudo rm /etc/motd
[22:44] <Rovanion> _Tristan: I have no idea what your specific issue is, I'm just telling you what I would do in your situation.
[22:44] <W0rmDrink> Seveas, does something update that file ?
[22:45] <Seveas> W0rmDrink, hmmyes, on a default ubuntu install that's now done
[22:45] <zykotick9> W0rmDrink: don't remove motd!  "PrintMotd no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
[22:45] <roasted> zykotick9: if you're curious, check out post #545 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625
[22:45] <Seveas> I don't remember what does it though as that's one of the first things I kill
[22:46] <W0rmDrink> zykotick9, it is set as no
[22:46] <sckauter> Error moving file: Permission denied --> im trying to copy and past a blacklist file to etc/modprob.d
[22:46] <sckauter> any help pls?
[22:46] <Rovanion> Seveas: Do I have to log in and out in order for the change to take effect? gpasswd exits successfully telling me that the user rov has been added to the group audio. But when I run id again it doesn't list me and alsamixer won't start.
[22:46] <zykotick9> roasted: that sucks man :(
[22:46] <roasted> zykotick9: 545 looks good though
[22:47] <roasted> zykotick9: it looks like support was there, and ubuntu broke it. other distros reported no issue, mint included.
[22:47] <roasted> zykotick9: but it looks like support is coming back with kernel 3.3 and 12.04 to boot.
[22:47] <roasted> zykotick9: let's hope anyway, or else I'll be reselling this puppy on ebay
[22:48] <zykotick9> roasted: hopefully that won't be required ;)
[22:48] <Seveas> Rovanion, yes
[22:48] <roasted> zykotick9: with, of course, a phone call to alps to put some pressure on their "engineers" :P
[22:48] <zykotick9> W0rmDrink: is it the motd that is being shown or something else?
[22:49] <W0rmDrink> zykotick9, its motd and then some things which are not in there
[22:49] <zykotick9> W0rmDrink: do you have a Banner line in sshd_config?
[22:49] <W0rmDrink> zykotick9, no
[22:49] <zykotick9> W0rmDrink: also PrintLastLog is taht on/off?
[22:50] <W0rmDrink> nope
[22:50] <W0rmDrink> let me try that
[22:50] <zykotick9> W0rmDrink: that's just the last login line
[22:50] <W0rmDrink> no but there is stuff like Ubuntu comes with no warranty etc
[22:51] <sckauter> Error moving file: Permission denied --> im trying to copy and past a blacklist file to etc/modprob.d
[22:51] <sckauter> any help pls?
[22:52] <babble> sckauter: are you editing blacklist.conf as root?
[22:52] <W0rmDrink> > ~/.hushlogin worked
[22:52] <zykotick9> W0rmDrink: lol i was just reading http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/546 i've never heard of .hushlogin before - neat.
[22:56] <gadien> is there a bot i can ask for what is?
[22:57] <RDMonkey> thats a nice quit message

[23:03] <Dayofswords> anyone know how big the ubuntu repos are? as in how much space would it take to mirror them?
[23:03] <born2troll> guys i installed a program with make install and now i am not able to remove it
[23:04] <babble> born2troll: did you keep the source package?
[23:04] <Tasmania> Do I need a vps to install files in Ubuntu?
[23:04] <babble> if you did, cd into it and do make uninstall
[23:04] <born2troll> babble, i think but it ends in an error
[23:05] <i7c> Tasmania: vps?
[23:07] <yeats> Dayofswords: it depends on how many releases you'd be mirroring, but I administer a mirror with 10.04, 11.10, and 12.04 and it's about 243 GB
[23:07] <yeats> Dayofswords: you can not mirror sources and get away with much less

[23:15] <AcidRain2012> any other ideas?
[23:15] <itaylor57> AcidRain2012, sounds like something you would want to start with a startup script
[23:15] <itaylor57> what is it you are trying to run?
[23:15] <AcidRain2012> hmmm... you mean have php run a perl script that runs the server?
[23:15] <AcidRain2012> im trying to start icecast via php
[23:15] <AcidRain2012> it works... it just wont let me know that it has worked
[23:16] <AcidRain2012> and the php output is very important

[23:21] <gensymv> cswank216 that's rude dude.
[23:21] <skel> cswank216_: really, your limitation of patience is 2 minutes?
[23:21] <pangolin> cswank216_, really? you think that is going to get you help?
[23:21] <BathOryx> cswank216_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/
[23:21] <soreau> cswank216_: excessive punctuation is not necessary

[23:23] <cswank216_> ubottu how do i read your private message?
[23:23] <BobMarley> i found this:

[23:23] <cswank216_> o lol sorry
[23:23] <roasted> Anybody using an Alps touchpad with Ubuntu? I've read about some users having issues yet others with success. Curious if anybody else is having headaches with it.
[23:23] <BobMarley> and perhaps i need to put ::     /set text_replay on
[23:23] <Kircle> skel never used strace before looks a tad complicated.
[23:23] <BobMarley> but where that is done=
[23:24] <BobMarley> ?
[23:24] <soreau> ! enter | BobMarley
[23:24] <pangolin> BobMarley, you want to check the settings for Load Scrollback
[23:24] <BathOryx> roasted: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[23:24] <cswank216_> So no help?
[23:24] <skel> Kircle: don't be scared by it, its just showing you every operation its running at a system level. it should show you reads / writes and will show you which file it's looking for
[23:24] <BathOryx> cswank216_: Ahem..
[23:25] <pangolin> BobMarley, actually it is "Display scrollback from previous session"
[23:25] <roasted> BathOryx: uh. what?
[23:25] <roasted> BathOryx: wrong person?
[23:25] <cswank216_> ?
[23:25] <skel> Kircle: or most of the time will lead you to the first of whatever missing components it needs
[23:25] <BathOryx> roasted: What are you trying to do in Ubuntu on Alps touchpad?
[23:26] <BobMarley>  somebody know how do i enable to xchat history?
[23:26] <BobMarley>  i found this:
[23:26] <BobMarley>  http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=3794
[23:26] <BobMarley> and perhaps i need to put ::     /set text_replay on
[23:26] <BobMarley> but where that is done?
[23:26] <FloodBot1> BobMarley: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:26] <roasted> BathOryx: I'm asking if anybody is having issues with it. I've read some questionable reports about it.
[23:27] <BathOryx> BobMarley: Type in the same input text bar you use to "talk/chat" throuhg.
[23:27] <pangolin> BobMarley, click on Settings > Preferences > Logging and check the box for  "Display scrollback from previous session"
[23:27] <Laiam> settings menu > chatting category > loggin
[23:27] <Laiam> *logging
[23:27] <BathOryx> BobMarley: The /set is actually a chat command. TYPE IT OUT. The forward slash indicates it's a chat command.
[23:28] <BathOryx> It must literally be the first thing you type or the command will not work.
[23:29] <BobMarley> so in which folder i can consult the chat history?
[23:29] <pangolin> ~/.xchat2
[23:29] <pangolin> ~/.xchat2/scrollback
[23:30] <no-name-> does ubuntu have an equivalent to Start > All Programs > Startup ??
[23:30] <BobMarley> what the ~/. command does?
[23:30] <Laiam> yes and no...
[23:30] <i7c> BobMarley:  ~ is your home dir
[23:31] <Laiam> no-name- if your using unity you can add startup commands via the cog wheel at the top right corner
[23:31] <pangolin> BobMarley, in /home/USERNAME/.xchat2/scrollback
[23:31] <no-name-> I'm still on 10.04 with gnome2
[23:31] <i7c> BobMarley: try cd ~/.xchat2/scrollback      in terminal. the . (dot) in front of a folder means it's hidden
[23:31] <BathOryx> BobMarley: ~ is typically /home/yourUserName
[23:32] <no-name-> hmm, I want this command to happen when I log in, not when I boot up though
[23:32] <BobMarley> oh, in ubuntu there are also hidden folder and files?
[23:32] <BobMarley> is there a genneral option to unhide them all?
[23:32] <BathOryx> no-name-: Yes.
[23:32] <i7c> BobMarley: sure. just put a . in front of the folder name and it's not shown
[23:32] <i7c> BobMarley: in the terminal?
[23:33] <BobMarley> yes
[23:33] <i7c> BobMarley: you can see what's in a folder by typing  ls
[23:33] <i7c> BobMarley: if you wanna se hidden files and folders type   ls -a
[23:33] <BobMarley> in windows it is possible by the explorer (nautilus like thing)
[23:33] <BathOryx> no-name-: If you're using Ubuntu 11.10/11.04, push the SUPER BUTTON on your keyboard. (That stupid windows logo key), Click on the UBUNTU LOGO, then type in: startup, and finally, double click on Startup applications.
[23:34] <i7c> BobMarley: in my file manager it works with Ctrl+h. in yours maybe too, not sure.
[23:34] <pangolin> BobMarley, in nautilus hit ctrl-h to hide/unhide
[23:34] <mkultra_> i suggest learning the backend
[23:34] <Multbrelch> pangolin, thx, didnt know that
[23:34] <BathOryx> mkultra_: What's there to really learn?
[23:34] <Multbrelch> cool
[23:35] <mkultra_> apt-get file system stuff
[23:35] <Foggalong> Hello?
[23:35] <mkultra_> hi Foggalong
[23:35] <born2troll> babble, got 1 more questions... are alsa and oss 2 different systems? im going to use alsa and there is a unmet dependency for oss... does it matter?
[23:35] <mkultra_> oss is /dev/dsp stuff
[23:36] <Foggalong> Well, at least I know the program is working.
[23:36] <mkultra_> id go alsa, and avoid oss
[23:36] <BathOryx> BobMarley: In nautilus, push: CTRL + L, to see the current DIRECTORY you're in (I don't like the folder term, :P)
[23:36] <mkultra_> its old
[23:36] <sckauter> guys i really need your help, i just need to figure out my screen resolution, im on 1024x768 instead 1600x900, i reaaly cant i've download the nvidia driver, i've put nuveau in blacklist i«ve turn off x server....i dont knwo what to do....
[23:36] <Laiam> no-name-: System, Preferences, Startup Applications I think
[23:36] <BathOryx> BobMarley: You can type into that bar too.
[23:36] <Guest91787> how do you make 12.04 look like gnome2
[23:37] <born2troll> mkultra_, thats my plan but i was not 100% sure if its the one or the other...
[23:37] <BathOryx> !classic > Guest91787
[23:37] <mkultra_> i use xfce, its gnomey sort of
[23:37] <mkultra_> lighter
[23:37] <BathOryx> !not-unity > Guest91787
[23:38] <Guest91787> BathOryx, you change it @ the log in?
[23:38] <daniellog> Hey, could any of you guys help me with a ubuntu server install?
[23:38] <mkultra_> hello
[23:38] <skel> daniellog: whats the trouble?
[23:38] <mkultra_> enable ssh and build it remotely from a gui machine
[23:39] <BathOryx> Guest91787: You can also just try something like this: http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/   Has the interface that looks like gnome2. And beautify, you can easily install that on Ubuntu. (see downloads page)
[23:39] <daniellog> I have a system setup with a stripped software raid, when I get to installing grup I get the error "executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed"
[23:39] <bjrohan> I have an issue, and I am trying to report it via approot-bug however after I check mark the appropriate button on the first screen and hit next, nothing happens. Ultimately, when I start into 3D mode (unity) I see the desktop, but receive an error message "system Tray not detected"
[23:39] <BathOryx> Guest91787: Did you got the PM?
[23:39] <Laiam> !notunity > Guest91787
[23:39] <daniellog> I'm installing it through usb rather than cd
[23:40] <Guest91787> BathOryx,  i saw thankh
[23:41] <mkultra_> id install boot to another usb stick....
[23:41] <skel> daniellog: are you installing it to the mbr or did you specify another location?
[23:41] <mkultra_> make it something that can be easily mirrored and redundantly generated
[23:41] <sacarlson> daniellog: can you provide us with a link to what you used as a reference when you did your install?
[23:41] <skel> daniellog: by default I think it tries to use /dev/sda if you do custom partitioning
[23:42] <thiebaude> how do i make the terminal transparent?
[23:42] <mkultra_> i use compiz for transparency
[23:42] <daniellog> as far as I know mbr, I'm not sure of the mounts for raid in linux, before I've alwaysed used dev/sda etc, but the install point to /dev/mapper by default?
[23:42] <Foggalong> Can anyone help me with why XChat won't connect to #YourPants IRC channel
[23:42] <thiebaude> mkultra_, ahh ok
[23:42] <AMIGAS> how do i changed the wallpaper?
[23:42] <daniellog> I'm not using a reference, just going through it by myself
[23:43] <skel> daniellog: you can try to do it by default before rebooting: sudo mount /dev/mapper/*your-raid-part* /mnt
[23:43] <mkultra_> id make a /boot partition and point the mount at it
[23:43] <mkultra_> at the usb stick
[23:43] <skel> daniellog: and then do: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/mapper/*raid-drive*
[23:43] <mkultra_> even a 512 can handle kernels
[23:44] <daniellog> so quit to the shell then run those commands?
[23:44] <mkultra_> but it requires usb booting support
[23:44] <myhero> i want to setup a dual boot system ubuntu with windows 7 so what to install 1st ubuntu or windows 7 ??
[23:44] <Laiam> how is it that kde has a better power manager than unity?
[23:44] <AMIGAS> foggalong: it works just fine
[23:44] <mkultra_> install windows first, and leave enough for linux
[23:44] <myhero> means...
[23:44] <Guest91787> myhero i always install win first
[23:45] <myhero> in the 1st partition windows 7 or ubuntu ?
[23:45] <skel> daniellog: yeah after install completes (minus failing bootloader install) just open a terminal and do those
[23:45] <myhero> ok
[23:45] <skel> daniellog: you don't have to quit the gui
[23:45] <mkultra_> 1st partition is windows
[23:45] <myhero> if i install ubuntu 1st then any problems ?
[23:45] <mkultra_> yeah
[23:45] <Laiam> myhero: if win first then you will need to reinstall the grub bootloader
[23:45] <daniellog> sorry if this seems a bit of a stupid question but how do I find the raid part out?
[23:45] <skel> myhero: usually windows likes to be the first OS and doesn't work well otherwise, I don't know if thats changed. Haven't dual-booted since XP
[23:46] <Guest91787> if you install ubuntu first you can use easy bds or bsd
[23:46] <myhero> ok
[23:46] <myhero> thnx..
[23:46] <mkultra_> df
[23:46] <myhero> quit
[23:46] <skel> daniellog: did you use the custom partition wizard in the install process? It shows you the device name
[23:46] <BathOryx> myhero: If you do not want problems. Windows first, then Ubuntu. If Windows were to get installed last, then it would try to overwrite boot records and etc.
[23:46] <Laiam> win 7 can deal with being a second partition since it wont have an mbr after grub kills it
[23:46] <Neon_Sloth> can anyone answer a question for me real quick?
[23:46] <BathOryx> Ubuntu just handles things in a smart and more considerate manner.
[23:47] <Neon_Sloth> How would i voice myself. (Not on this channel)
[23:47] <BathOryx> Neon_Sloth: /msg chanserv voice #channel you.
[23:47] <daniellog> no I just used the automatic, its came up withs some werid nvidia name, something like nvidia_q3c...etc , I'm guessing the raid controller is an nvidia one
[23:47] <Neon_Sloth> if it wasnt my channel?
[23:47] <sacarlson> daniellog: the disk utility should show the status and allow you to mount and umount raids,  did you use the alternate disk for your system install?
[23:48] <mkultra_> id have the hardware control the raid
[23:48] <BathOryx> Neon_Sloth: You must have enough channel access privledge to perform such a command. Try it.
[23:48] <Neon_Sloth> BathOryx: even if it wasnt my channel?
[23:48] <Neon_Sloth> kk
[23:48] <mkultra_> id prefer hardware raid over soft raid
[23:48] <skel> daniellog: hmm ok I'm not as familiar with raid setups, I rarely use them =/ Anyone else know how daniellog can find out what the raid device name is within the installer?
[23:49] <daniellog> Yeah I'm limited with resources, and alternative disk?
[23:49] <Neon_Sloth> it worked, thanks BathOryx
[23:50] <sacarlson> daniellog: here's a reference to posibly get you started,  there are many other raid docs depending on what mode you want to use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[23:50] <daniellog> if no one knows I can just set it back to IDE mode and not bother with raid, if software raid is useless
[23:50] <viktor> i messed up my GUI by loading an vector-based .snv file as wallpaper. i might be able to fix this by changing the wallpaper from terminal/console. can anybody tell me where to do this?
[23:50] <c11hbl> hej
[23:50] <viktor> which directory config file to edit?
[23:50] <daniellog> @sacarlson thanks
[23:50] <skel> viktor: what window manager?
[23:51] <stercor> How do I get rid of 'W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/www.bashterritory.com_pytube_releases_en  Encountered a section with no Package: header?'
[23:51] <viktor> skel, right, gnome2, oneiric ocelot
[23:51] <mkultra_> soft raid works but i wouldnt want it
[23:51] <mkultra_> you get best performance when your utilizing hardware
[23:51] <SubstreamAI> Nebbie, I'm nubbie
[23:52] <skel> viktor: try gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename <path_to_image>
[23:52] <_Tristan> Hi. I'm looking for a small cheap usb wifi dongle that will work in oneiric. Anybody have suggestions?
[23:52] <daniellog> Thanks guys, I'll try again tomorrow
[23:52] <mkultra_> i got one a few days ago
[23:52] <Jordan_U> daniellog: skel: Unless this is FakeRAID, you don't want to (it makes no sense to) install grub's boot sector to the raid device. So you should not pass any /dev/mapper/ device to grub-install.
[23:53] <mkultra_> wait no i didnt lol
[23:53] <daniellog> @Jordan_u where should I install grub too then?
[23:54] <mkultra_> Netgear 	WG111 V1 should work
[23:54] <Jordan_U> daniellog: The MBRs of the member drives.
[23:55] <daniellog> would they be in /dev/ ?
[23:55] <_Tristan> I was hoping for something cheaper
[23:55] <viktor> skel, i get this back from terminal: "No value to set for key: `/desktop/gnome/background/Pictures/alison_carroll_1.jpg'
[23:55] <viktor> "
[23:55] <Jordan_U> daniellog: Most likely that would be /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
[23:55] <daniellog> I've tried, but I still get the fatal error
[23:56] <daniellog> It must be something to do with this nvida raid it does not like
[23:56] <Jordan_U> daniellog:  What is the exact error message?
[23:56] <z1ll4> .
[23:56] <viktor> skel, by "picture_filename", i was meant to put a new one to replace the old one right?
[23:56] <z1ll4> o u dont need to register to speak in here? :0
[23:56] <daniellog> orginnally "executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed"
[23:56] <BathOryx> daniellog: /dev/ is short for: devices, or device. IIRC.
[23:56] <daniellog> I'll try with the sda and sdb now
[23:57] <daniellog> yeah I know
[23:57] <Jordan_U> daniellog:  If it's "nvidia raid" that _is_ FakeRAID.
[23:57] <skel> viktor: yeah thats a second parameter, so after the background/Pictures then do /path/to/alison_blah.jpg
[23:57] <daniellog> would I be able to use that raid or shall I not bother?
[23:57] <cdj> HUD is the best thing ever.
[23:58] <Jordan_U> daniellog: In which case what I said earlier does not apply.
[23:58] <mkultra_> id setup a raid partition, and a separate drive for a boot partition
[23:58] <mkultra_> a usb stick
[23:58] <mkultra_> something easy to mirror
[23:58] <urbancommando> if its fake raid why bother? it's not going to be any faster.. right?
[23:58] <xixor> Yo, does anyone happen to have a System76 laptop?  Do you like it? Just looking for feedback on the feel of the machine, build quality, etc
[23:59] <daniellog> Hmmm yeah, not the best setup though, might be just easier to not bother raiding
[23:59] <wylde> !ot | xixor
[23:59] <Jordan_U> daniellog: You should be able to, but using Linux software RAID will be faster, easier, and better supported.
