saad_sorry00:24
saad_that's incompelete00:24
tnks_I just found a bug for gitolite that's reported in Debian's bug tracking system, but I don't see Gitalite set up for bug reporting in Launchpad.00:24
saad_schnuffle: there -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/919764/00:25
tnks_I understand Debian's reportbug system, because it's simple email.00:25
tnks_but I'm confused about how Ubuntu manages bugs, especially if projects are all set up in Launchpad.00:25
=== Guest76193 is now known as __kcio__
schnufflesaad_:  aah,  comment the first line, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade00:26
saad_ok00:26
trismtnks_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gitolite , you can also use: ubuntu-bug package_name;00:28
tnks_trism: yeah, I'm trying ubuntu-bug now.00:28
tnks_maybe it will reveal something the launchpad site didn't have available.00:28
tnks_trism: interesting. . . your link is different from https://launchpad.net/gitolite00:30
tnks_I don't get the difference but the "bugs" tab shows different things.00:30
trismtnks_: that is the project package, the link I gave is for the ubuntu source package00:30
tnks_trism: can I get to one from the other?00:31
tnks_also, I'm not too sure I understand the difference.00:31
trismtnks_: it is the difference between reporting a bug against a package in debian, versus reporting upstream (or it would be if gitolite did bug tracking on launchpad, but they don't)00:32
schnufflesaad_: how is to going?00:33
saad_schnuffle: update and upgrade will take a while :D00:33
schnufflesaad_:  but that means at least its running. Does that mean your problem is solved?00:34
saad_you told me to comment the 1st line00:34
saad_and run update and upgrade00:34
saad_am doing what you said :D00:34
schnufflesaad_: yes, because you were complaining about apt-cdrom. And that has disappeared, hasn'T it?00:35
saad_I wasn't complaining about that00:35
schnufflesaad_: or is that only the first part of your problem? :)00:35

Jasonxxguys how do i detach something form the shell00:39
Jasonxxi am running program in shell but i don't want to close it with shell00:39
Jasonxxis there shortcut to press to detach it00:39
Jasonxxso it doesn't excit when i exit the shell00:39
schnuffleJasonxx: with Ctrl+Z you can detach it, but it will still close when you close the shell. For future uses, take screen00:40
Jasonxxah00:41
Jasonxxso for screen i can do : screen programname ?00:41
schnuffle!screen | Jasonxx00:42

malac0daHey is there a tool to adjust fan speeds for my AMD video cards without using the proprietary tools? I find that installing the actual AMD stuff always cause problems sooner than later.01:52
malac0daAnd without the AMD drivers the fans run excessively loud01:52
Xabstermalac0da, I had the same problem and there is such a program atleast for pulse width modulation01:52
XabsterAnd my card does not support that01:53
Xabsterso i had to take the drivers01:53
Xabstergoogle some stuff about fan speed and lm-sensors01:53
Xabsteryou need the lm-sensor or sensors installed and then some application on top of that01:53

cowboydrenI have a samba service on my WDTV Live Hub, so I can backup to that. :)02:08

aJacomHi. Im running the installer right now and Im very confused with the partitioner. Could someone help me or guide me through a little bit?02:35
CFHowlettaJacom   sure what's the issue?02:35
MooNSpelli dontknow much abt tht02:35
gr33n7007hI tries iwconfig wlan2 txpower 10 but it doesn't work is there any other way02:35
aJacomThank you CFHowlett . I see /dev/sda divided into sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4.  The large one is sda2 (ntfs), which holds the Windows 7. I think I read somewhere that Windows Loader has some trouble if you switch its order in the partition table, or something similar. Should I go and change the size of sda2 ?02:37
CFHowlettaJacom   here's what's going to happen; the most recently loaded OS will overwrite the previous OS.  The OS will still be present.02:37
CFHowlettaJacom   ifor a normal dual boot, you would resize the windows partition and use the freed space to create an ubuntu partition - I'd say 20 gig minimum02:38
aJacomCFHowlett: OK. Ill go for 80GB. Do I change some other parameter ? (Use as, Mount point)02:39
CFHowlettaJacom   most recently installed OS will overwrite the BOOT RECORD, not overwrite the OS.02:39

aJacomCFHowlett: http://whrl.pl/RcY18A02:56
CFHowlettaJacom   honestly, before you proceed with dual install I'd identify what those are.  OR ...02:56
aJacomCFHowlett: And how about I just go ahead and use Wubi to install it ? Will I burn too much ?02:57
CFHowlettaJacom   don't wubi.  try virtualbox on your windows.  if you've got 4+ gigs of ram, it  should run pretty well.02:58
CFHowlettwubi is for testing ubuntu, not long-term installation...02:58
aJacom2 GB. 1.6 Ghz. VirtualBox hardly even completes the installation without freezing.02:58
gr33n7007haJacom, fdisk -l to see which is boot flag02:59
mydogsnameisrudyi would boot windows and look in partition 4 see whats there02:59
CFHowlettaJacom  if you have the hptools dvd, they can "presumeably" be resintalled.  I keep my dell utilities on the dvd and did NOT installed...02:59

joh6nni just want to take a kernel from a newer release, and install it on my kernel release, if possible03:09
CFHowlettaJacom   it'll run at almost native speeds.  However, since the installation takes place in the windows environment, fragmentation can become an issue on the linux side.    As a testing platform, wubi is great.  long term use, no so much.  no damage risks that I can think of.03:09

comgenmi3 : fsck / e2fs checks filesystem only, smart is for detecting mechanical errors you might have a drive going bad, need to run OEM disk check util and/or similar , if you can boot into ubu you can run a smart diagnostic test as well but not repair04:34
c_smithstuntman_dan, try mounting it in a seperate Nautilus session, then navigate to /media/ and it should be there.04:34
c_smithstuntman_dan, brb04:34
mi3comgen, I ran SMART from seagate seatools, everything seems good for the hdd at the moment04:35
comgenmi3 : then per sacarlson advice backup, keep smart disabled also check the 32bit drive access settings in the bios, toggle on/off might help04:36
mi3I dont have that 32 bit drive and all that I just left SMART disabled04:36
comgenmi3 : do keep an eye on the drive from time to time, also I do not have 32bit on an older laptop yet I must have it enabled to boot <<-- go figure04:37
`KorvinHey, my mic isn't working on my laptop04:37
stuntman_danc_smith, basically what I am trying to do is copy some stuff off of a nas onto this storage drive in my laptop, but when I try it tells me that the operation is not supported. I'm not getting errors when writing though, as I'm able to create folders on that drive now04:37
`Korvininternal or external04:37
mi3thanks for the suggestion comgen04:38

mi3comgen, well, I have 64 bit processor, but I did not have the 32 bit settings I dont know what is wrong if I dont have that, anyways..04:40
nifhelp04:41
bmk1189istiaque: have you tried sudo apt-get install libreoffice?04:41
c_smithstuntman_dan, I'm back, any luck?04:42
xanguaisitme: use the libreoffice PPA or get it from libreoffice.org04:42
nifHELP04:42
stuntman_danc_smith, well I am able to create folders, but I am having issues copying files off my nas now04:42
comgenm13 : since the problem appears to be with the bios smart util I'd leave it off, since that works other option if you must have smart enabled is to try reinstalling grub2 from rescue live/cd or grub menu04:42
stuntman_danc_smith, I notice a bunch of errors in the terminal window after using gksudo nautilus as well04:42
nif--HELP04:43
c_smithstuntman_dan, not sure what to say there.04:43
stuntman_danc_smith, mainly about user share directories04:43
mi3comgen, what is the normal operating temperature of a hdd?04:43
c_smithstuntman_dan, well, see if there is someone more knowledgeable on that here.04:44
stuntman_danmi3, the 4 drives in my NAS are all around 30 degrees if that helps any04:44
nif--help04:44
comgenm13 : what model of drive ?04:44
stuntman_danc_smith, alright thanks04:44
c_smithstuntman_dan, no prob,04:44
mi3stuntman_dan, my hdd temp is 45 degress C04:44
bmk1189istiaque: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa   sudo apt-get update           and then sudo apt-get install libreoffice.04:44
stuntman_danc_smith, actually one question though, what would I have to do to just give my user write access to the drive? without having to use the terminal to open a root nautilus window every time?04:44
mi3comgen, seagate barracuda 160GB SATA 7200rpm04:44
nifsrry :( mistake04:45
SwedeMikemi3: I'd recommend not running it over 45-50 degrees for longer periods of time.04:45
geek0091got a question, in ubuntu virtualization host, on the server edition, when installing a gui based distro like windows server 2003/8/NT...you get the idea, how do you preform the gui installation when connected through ssh? It may seem like a redundant question but I plan on virtualizing a server running ubuntu as the host os. No desktop installed only an ssh terminal.04:45
comgenmi3 : also 32bit I ref. to is 32-bit Disk Access not arch type CPU04:45
stuntman_danmi3 wow that seems kinda high... would maybe depend on ambient temperature as well though? if the room you're in is really warm then that would affect it04:45
mi3ohh thats new, guys04:45
mi3ok, so I want to place a cooling fan, will that be enough to...you know...cool the hdd, or is it nearing the end of its lifecycle?04:46
c_smithstuntman_dan, the easiest way I know of is through command line. and that was finding out what it's viewed as through the Disk Utility (such as /dev/sda#) and then using that to run chmod and chown.04:46
c_smithany other way I know of is more frustrating.04:46
stuntman_danc_smith, alright I'm pretty sure it's sdb or sdb1 or something like that, I'll read through the chmod help though, that'll be a good start hehe04:47
comgenmi3 : maybe purchase a hard drive cooler or on the low/poorman tech end mount a spare case fan under or near the drive04:47
c_smithstuntman_dan, it always helps to get at least a little proficient with cli in Linux.04:47
`Korvindoes anyone have any idea04:48
`Korvinwhy my internal mic isn't being picked up by skype or google chat04:48
`Korvinneither is an external mic04:48
stuntman_danc_smith, yeah I know enough to navigate around and do a few things here and there but it's been a while. I don't mind the cli so much actually04:48
mi3comgen, so where near the drive? under it? on the side of it? should I place it on the steel above or near the circuit board? which part gets hot faster?04:48
comgenmi3 : under if you can but anywhere near the drive should work04:49
mi3sounds good, comgen04:50
stuntman_danc_smith, the drive is mounted at file:///media/3f5bce4c-930a-45f2-b6d6-e4cf705ee420.... that should be easy enough to type. hahahaha04:50
mi3comgen, do you think that high temp [45 C] will be giving me that read error when SMART was enabled?04:50
comgenmi3 : also double check the cabling which sounds like you know your way around hardware and might have checked already, sata drives are not as bad, but IDE drives I've had connection issues in the past with <<-- overheating / power spikes04:51
c_smithstuntman_dan, look for /dev/sd# or /dev/hd# or something similar, what you have is not what I was talking about, but something similar, should be listed somewhere along the lines of mount point in the Gnome Disk Utility.04:52
comgenmi3 : 45 c ? depends on the temp alert setting of the bios04:52
stuntman_danc_smith, yes the device is /dev/sdb1, but it is mounted in a strange way, not sure why it would have such a long random name like that04:52
mi3comgen, I have sata, hate IDE lol. my BIOS does not shows me the hdd temp, it only shows me the cpu temp, and that I think is 33 C04:53
stuntman_danc_smith, it is mounted to /media/(that long random string of text)04:53
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
mi3my current cpu temp is 33 C and hdd temp is 44 C, comgen04:53
stuntman_danc_smith, I did chmod --help and I think what I would want to do would be something like chmod /dev/sdb1 -c, and then from there I am a little lost04:54
mi3comgen, you there?04:55
stuntman_danc_smith, actually I think if I just do gksudo nautilus and go to the media folder, I should be able to right click on it and change the permissions that way, right?04:55
stuntman_danc_smith, the media folder being the directory on that drive that I want to be able to copy stuff into04:55
comgenmi3 : yes here sorry doing 24+ things at once tonight :-) mi3 give this a read : http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/12/hard-drive-temperatures-be-afraid.html04:55
mi3comgen, sounds interesting, let me read it..04:56
mi3comgen, I have the front fan and it does it job well at cooling the sys, but I think my hdd is placed at quite a low level, so should I just raise the level?04:58
anternatUBUNTU ROXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX04:59
dlentzmi3, are you concerned because your hard disk is 45C? that's nothing to get alarmed about04:59
stuntman_danc_smith, alright instead of using chmod in the cli I just opened nautilus as root and changed the permissions on the folder I want to copy into. works like a charm now, thanks!04:59
mi3dlentz, yes I am concerned with that, very much concerned05:00
c_smithstuntman_dan, glad to see it worked out! :)05:00
stuntman_danc_smith, I should still probably learn how to use chmod at some point, but that can wait for another day hehe05:00
dlentzmi3, you shouldn't be...05:00
mi3dlentz, I guess such high temp is causing me the smart errors, I get the "read error" when SMART is enabled, but when its disabled, the sys boots normally, I have dual boot os's05:01
dlentzbut 45c is not a high temp for a drive that's probably rated to >=60c05:02
mi3wow!05:03
mi3I have a seagate barracuda 160GB, is it supposed to run nicely at 45 C?05:04
LirthI'm trying to set a minor minecraft server on my ubuntu computer (just to test it out) and I was wondering how I'd do it. I don't know very much about setting up a server (including how to get my own IP address) and was hoping that someone would help.05:04
dlentzmi3, have you ever looked at the spec sheet?05:04
mi3dlentz, this link surprises me, hope it surprises you as well http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/12/hard-drive-temperatures-be-afraid.html05:05
mi3err no...05:05
mi3dlentz, that link enlightened you or what?05:07
* dlentz is trying to find the google pdf study that debunks a lot of myths like that05:09
comgenmi3 : intended to give an general idea in regard to hdd temp, you're running warm thus I would attempt to cool it05:09
dlentzhttp://wiki.mattrude.com/images/6/67/Google_disk_failures.pdf05:09
mi3hmm sounds good, comgen, will need to place a cooler after all05:10
Goku283Hey guys05:10
scienteshow should i max out the cpu on my box to see power consumption at load?05:10
Goku283need help with ubuntu mouse problem.  The left click is not working all of a sudden..  right click still works normally though05:11
mi3dlentz,  I only have  a single hdd, not a server farm!05:11
Goku283might have been a recent update that messed things up??05:11
Goku283How to trouble shoot mouse issues?05:12
comgenmi3 : keep an eye on it, make backups :-) you can also try the following http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,198179/description.html05:12
dlentzmi3, the data is relevant to single drives..05:13
mi3I already use hddtemp, comgen, but thanks for those cool suggestions, will add the coolers in an hour05:13
mi3thanks to you too, dlentz, will take a note of it!05:13
mi3thank you guys!05:13
comgenmi3 : you work faster than most of my employees LOL good luck05:14
mi3I only have a small desktop at a home and its the sole computer, so I can replace it quickly, hardware solving is fun, hey what about heatsink pastes? will those work? if applied to the steel structure on the top of the hdd?05:15
comgenmi3 : I wouldn't go that far just yet, a simple makeshift poorman-tech case fan mounted should do :-)05:16
mi3hmm sounds nice....let me put 2 fans in there....or will 1 60 mm size will do?05:16
boumaim having wierd behaviour where an ext4 partition mounts as a different user which means i cannot browse it05:17

boumawhat determines the user that a partition gets mounted as ?? ie the ownership of the dir?05:21
green_does ubuntu 12.04 still have unity?05:22
dlentzgreen_, yes05:22
boumaif i just have auto,user,noatime where does the user name even come from ?05:22
green_i assume unity is now standard?05:22
dlentzgreen_, it's been standard since 11.04, and there are still plenty of other DE's to choose from too05:23
green_ok ty05:23

Goku283lol05:49
Goku283annoying.05:49
bobo37773eh it happens sometimes.05:50
bobo37773Goku283: Did you update your kernel before this started happening?05:51
dlentzGoku283, have you tried xev to see if the clikc is registering?05:51
Goku283Im not 100% sure if the kernel was updated before it started, but it is possible..05:51
Goku283how to use xev to check?05:51
scientesGoku283, uname -a05:52

bobo37773Goku283: You said that this mouse is working on some other machines you have. What kernel versions are on those machines?05:54
Goku283xev doesnt pick up anything when pressing left click05:54
Goku283Windows machines it works fine05:54
Goku283it was working fine previously aswell..05:55
Goku283must of been an update that changed something??05:55
bobo37773Goku283: It is a possibility.05:55
Goku283Is there like a safe mode in ubuntu?05:55
Goku283where it loads default drivers or something... lol?05:55
Goku283to test05:55
bobo37773not really. the drivers are in the kernel. Just install and load a different kernel if you want to test that.05:56
Goku283i c..05:56
Goku283how to install different kernel than?  have to reinstall ubuntu?05:56
bobo37773Goku283: No way. You can upgrade or downgrade your kernel any time without reinstalling through your package manager. Just look either in your repo or a 3rd party ppa if you want something newer05:58
Goku283eh?  so how to roll back to a previous kernel now then?05:58
bobo37773Goku283: Is your old kernel still installed? Look in synaptic or software center or whatever they call it nowadays05:59

Guest_I'm switching to Ubuntu (from win7) and was wondering if it is possible to make a backup of my windows drive INTO a vmware-like program for Ubuntu so I could still have access to it during the transition period?06:53
pengemisdoes anyone know why lxde.org down?06:54
CFHowlettGuest_  or install ubuntu into windows via virtualbox06:54
Guest_Would that enable me to completely phase out win7 over time?06:54
RedWarHey All, I need some help. I am using Ubuntu on this Pavillion DV 6 HP via virtualization,its great and everything not slow at all but would have preferred a dual boot option.  There seems to be an issue with the Radeon driver. Does anyone have any idea if on the live cd, if they are actually at install going to include drivers to work with ATI radeon, without having to go through nomodeset and all that06:55
RedWarnonesense?06:55
CFHowlettGuest_   you could access both OS's and, when ready, install ubuntu only and completely switch over.06:55
RedWarI am talking about like on 1206:55
bekksRedWar: After installing Ubuntu, you have to do that modeset stuff only once.06:56
Guest_On a related note, I have not used WINE in about 4 or so years. Has it gotten better and running windows programs?06:56
bekksGuest_: It did 4 years ago, too.06:57
RedWarbekks very true. I am very ignroant in regards to how that nomodeset works, and what it does exactly?  Does it actually affect my firmware on my laptop, or is this just OS specific.07:00
bekksRedWar: It is OS specific.07:00
CellTechWhat's faster KDE or Gnome?07:00
bekksCellTech: Depends on how you configure them.07:00
bekksCellTech: And depends on your hardware.07:00
CellTechI need faster! I'm sick of my computer slowing down after like 30min of use07:00
CellTechCan I sped up swap or disk caching?07:01
RedWarbekks well that is a consolation. I was hoping to hear however that cannonical would have included some sort of automatic fix for those of us using the quad core amd pavillion dv6 with the ATI Radeon graphics card though.07:01
pengemisCellTech, i tried Kubuntu 11.10 with composition it's very heavy on low end machine07:01
CellTechI'm on xubuntu and it's horrible07:02
bekksCellTech: Add more RAM to your box so it doesnt have to swap.07:02
CellTechI have more ram. And it's showing no difference at all07:02
bekksRedWar: The quad core doesnt have anything to do with your ATI.07:03
pengemisI think we need more gpu07:03
bekksCellTech: So how much RAM do you have?07:03
CellTech768. My computer is older so it only holds 1gb max07:03
bekksCellTech: Then max out that 1GB.07:03
CellTechIt's ddr. That stuff is hard to find07:04
RedWarNo I know.. I m mentioning the model bekks. I know that this has to do with the ATI Radeon07:04
RedWarIt would be great if they do add support for this laptop with an automatic workaround.  It works perfectly inside of Virtualbox though.  I just don't want to run this thing all the time, since it does effect power consumption drastically.  I am running 64 bit version of 11.10 as guest07:05

backtrackmobile?07:36
backtrackmobilethis is the command i did sudo tar -cvpzf /media/DATI/backup.tgz /mnt/data/* --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/mnt/data07:37

bekksThen see --one-file-system :)07:37

backtrackmobileit has sense07:39
backtrackmobilebecouse07:39
bekksbacktrackmobile: First of all - are you using backtrack or Ubuntu?07:39
backtrackmobilei mounted a DD image on /mnt/data, but the backup has to have just the /mnt/data/* and not all the mount point path07:40
backtrackmobileubuntu07:40
backtrackmobile:D07:40

scientes_backtrackmobile, and --one-file-system is great07:41

scientes_oh yeah07:41
bekksscientes_: That doesnt help from storing relative path names only.07:41
scientes_the J does xz compression instead of gz07:42
backtrackmobilethx u made my easter :D07:42
bekksWhen specifying /mnt/data, that IS an absolute path name. The behaviour is intended.07:42
scientes_bekks, ahh, i always just cd's into the directory i wanted07:42
=== irdx is now known as irdxafk
bekksThen you have to use . instead of a path name, too.07:43
scientes_but i can see you would want relative so you could squash various things together07:43
backtrackmobileok but if i cd, i need to specific all the path becouse tar doesnt accept the current position, or not?07:43
bekksRead what we just wrote please ;)07:44
backtrackmobilei'm confused07:44
bekkstar ... /mnt/data vs. cd /mnt/data; tar ... .07:44

slavsanMammodreoci: I don't think you can just skip GRUB. Maybe someone else might have a solution for this but I believe your Windows MBR is wiped out or something. I'm not sure what this reset actually did but it seems it f**ked up GRUB in some way. The only solution I see is to install ubuntu on sda4.

z0rn3ntI have been having troubles with the linker in ubuntu. I am trying to compile a package and i often get undefined reference errors.12:12
auronandacez0rn3nt: what package?12:12
z0rn3ntdfu-programmer12:12
auronandace!info dfu-programmer | z0rn3nt12:13
ubottuz0rn3nt: dfu-programmer (source: dfu-programmer): device firmware update (DFU) based USB programmer for Atmel chips. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-1 (oneiric), package size 26 kB, installed size 96 kB12:13
auronandacez0rn3nt: whats wrong with the one in the repo?12:13
z0rn3ntalso happened with a project i dev, someone added some stuff and changed the .am and it broke the build for me12:14
z0rn3ntthat is the correct package12:14
z0rn3ntok, installing dfu-programmer from repo12:15
auronandacez0rn3nt: always a good idea to check the repo before compiling12:16
z0rn3ntbut this is still a problem i am getting often during compilations, and I have to determine how to get it to link manually12:16
z0rn3ntyeah, I come from gentoo on my desktop, I just put ubuntu on my new laptop to try it out12:17
z0rn3nti used arch before on my laptop12:17
auronandacez0rn3nt: if you are going to compile you may want to use checkinstall too12:17
auronandace!checkinstall | z0rn3nt12:17
ubottuz0rn3nt: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!12:17
auronandacez0rn3nt: i'm still using arch now, my favourite (but i have no experience compiling sorry)12:18

XtremeActionParsnip: means?15:41
ActionParsnipcoilbucker: both are fine, neither is better15:41

ActionParsnipXtreme: shasum the file you downloaded so that you know it is complete and consistent15:43
Xtremehow to?15:43
ActionParsnipcoilbucker: you can use dd to make an image of the partition on the storage15:43
ActionParsnipXtreme: go find out15:44
coilbuckerThe drives no longer show up in /media. Where would they be located?15:45
ActionParsnipcoilbucker: try:   mount15:45
XtremeActionParsnip: missmatch.. redownload?15:45
ActionParsnipXtreme: yes, the file is corrupted15:45
ActionParsnipXtreme: thats why SHASUM and MD5SUM exists....15:46

ActionParsnipasd2012: telling us what is written on the pretty plastic shell is of near-zero value16:34
whoeverActionParsnip: its seems strangei i compiled under open jdk6 a few  months back and that is what i still have and i still get the major minnor version complaint from eclipse16:34
ActionParsnipwhoever: could try oracle java if neither are good for you16:35
XabsterI have to install a webserver on my localhost and I need mysql and php-extension for whatever server i choose and I also need php's PDO extension and maybe other extensions... I have no problem with a bloated install: I want the most used plugins and stuff to install as easy as possible so I can focus on the content... it's purely for a test-setup - any recommendations for such a package for Ubuntu?16:35
asd2012U people are talking like genius16:35

`prixon`anyone here has an experience with intel HD 3000 graphics card. does it function good with ubuntu 11.10  and can it function with an external monitor?16:35
asd2012and i am a newbie16:35
wyldeXabster: to start with get a lamp setup 'taksel' and choose LAMP from the menu.16:36
Xabsterwhat's a taksel?16:36
Xtremeguys, to install a software.. this are the procedure. 1) extract, 2)./configure 3)make 4)make install right?16:36
asd2012what is taksel16:36
whoeveranyone here code java , if so is 7 good or is it still with bugs16:36
ActionParsnipasd2012: run a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and run:  lsusb    which is LSUSB in lower case, its nothing hard at all16:36
Xabsterwhoever, it's good16:37
ActionParsnipasd2012: just because you are using the keyboard doesn't mean it's hard16:37
wyldeXabster: it's an ncurses app that lets you select some general packages groups for specific tasks, like a LAMP Linux-Apache_Mysql_PHP server.16:37
whoeverXabster: ok thx16:37
Xabsterwylde: what is ncurses? :)16:37
DinoBirdEggsJust wanted to thank MonkeyDust for recommending remastersys. Worked perfectly. I had to find a different repository than the one that was listed on the link you gave me.16:37
asd2012i am in Windows 716:37
ActionParsnipasd2012: the command will outpupt some text, copy and paste it to a text file (again NOTING hard there) and save it to a USB memory stock, or copy it to your Windows partition (again not hard)16:37
wyldeXabster: run tasksel and you'll see.16:37
ActionParsnipasd2012:16:37
asd2012CTRL+ALT+T does not working16:37
Xabsterwylde, oh that's a command - I see16:38
L3topDepends on the program Xtreme... but typically yes.16:38
ActionParsnipasd2012: you NEED to be in UNUNTU, Your crappy Windows7 OS is not useful right now as it cannot get the detail we need16:38
whoeverXabster: also is there a quick brack down of the enhancement of 7 over 6, all i know about is the ability to now be able to use strings in case instead of haveing to put them in an enum16:38
ActionParsnipasd2012: I have repeatedly said you need to be in Ubuntu and CTRL+ALT+T does nothing in Windows, so Why are you trying Linux shortcuts in Windows?16:38
Xabsterwhoever, read a java 7 release note or ask in ##java16:39
blnkare there any grub2 or remote desktop gurus in here?16:39
asd2012yes u r absolutely right16:39
wylde!ask | blnk16:39
ubottublnk: 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. :-) See also !patience16:39
ActionParsnipasd2012: yes and I've told you about 4 yimes now....16:39
whoeverXabster: k thx16:39
Xabsterwylde, I have tasksel running now but there are no mysql or apache options16:40
DinoBirdEggsI did this. ~$gedit /etc/apt/sources.list16:40
Xabsteror is LAMP the collection you were talking about?16:40
wyldeXabster: there's an option that specifically says "LAMP" in the description16:40
Xabsterright there is16:40
blnkfirst question is: is it possible to get windows safe mode in the grub2 menu?16:40
=== tikfreenode is now known as Tiktalik
Xabsterand that is a package with the basic stuff i asked for?16:40
DinoBirdEggsthen I added #Remastersys16:40
DinoBirdEggsdeb http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository karmic/ to my repository16:40
ActionParsnipblnk: you'll need to boot windows and immediately perss F816:41
bekksblnk: No, because the selection of the windows safe mode is done right after windows is normally started. by pressing F8 (IIRC).16:41
L3topDinoBirdEggs: be sure that the version the user is on16:41
blnkokay, thanks16:41
wyldeXabster: yes, it will install Apache(webserver) MySQL(database server) and PHP ( php scripting support)16:41
blnkI'm also wondering how I can do remote desktop over the internet. I'm able to get it working fine on the same network right now16:42
asd2012is there any easy way that i can understood how to use my newly purchased BSNL EVDO Card in newly installed Ubuntu 11.04 DVD iso ?16:42
Kaizencan someone tell me what the last script is that runs when the systems starts up where i can put a command?16:42
bekksblnk: You can do, but it is unsafe.16:42
Xabsterwylde, and are these the new version or some really old versions? :) it's running now but i need quite new php and mysql to run drupal 716:42
carsten_dbi just installed xbmcbuntu, but my problem is not really related to xbmc. i installed lxde as a "normale" DE for config/admin purposes. now the display is larger than the screen (cannot see panel, etc) and would like to configure that. i stumbled upon "margins" in obconf, but this is not quite what I want. where can I configure that?16:42
wyldeXabster: it will install the most recent versions in the repos16:43
blnkI did some reading about it and I found something about going through a ssh server?16:43
asd2012which is the best way that i can learn Ubuntu16:43
Xabstergreat, appreciate it wylde16:43
bekksblnk: Tunneling through an SSH connection is possible, yes.16:43
ActionParsnipasd2012: using the OS16:43
L3topcarsten_db: that is an overscan issue. Without a custom modline or a tv that will change its overscan options it will simply appear that way16:43
wyldeXabster: no problem, glad to help :)16:43
blnkbekks: would that make it any more secure?16:43
ActionParsnipasd2012: I gave you what you need to do, until then we cannot advise16:43
gr33n7007hasd2012, take a look at this "http://duopetalflower.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/configuring-bsnl-evdo-capitel-3g-usb.html"16:44

hypcrumIf i have a video card with 2 monitors on it, can i jsut add any other video card to be abble to support one more?16:44
asd2012i hate command languages :-(16:44

ubottublnk: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon)16:46
coilbuckerIt says vga in the tutorial on the site. I don't use a vga cable. Also, since my monitor is a tv, with normal ubuntu until it gets to a certain point it has serious overscan issues.16:46
ActionParsnipasd2012: I never said youo needed sudo16:46
ActionParsnipasd2012: neither do you need to understand it16:46
L3topcoilbucker: I have never had an issue over hdmi.16:47
ActionParsnipasd2012: run:  lsusb   and give the output, its really that simple16:47

L3topcoilbucker: It may be setup dependent given the chipset you are running, but if your board posts to HDMI, clonezilla will run a very very basic gui. I would not expect any problem.16:48
asd2012after getting the output then what i have to do?16:48
caB00Tjrib, Action, it's failing for w/e reason, I would like to learn to connect without it, staight from bash?16:48

ActionParsnipcaB00T: you will be doing in in CLI, just in a curses UI. You don't need an x server16:50
DinoBirdEggsIt covers the much needed non-free codecs, flash players , java etc. I set up the install manual so you literally just copy then paste from start to finish.16:51

intorei'd like to know the why16:59
asd2012if i open Ubuntu then i cant talk to u17:00

asd2012if i am in Windows 7 (i.e. now) then i cant get the result of Ubuntu17:00

Xabsterwylde, hurm okay, your test did not work either but it warned me about some permissions17:30
Xenethdougl, I can't tell for sure it's flash, or maybe the codec, but reinstalling flash will not hurt.17:30

douglXeneth, thanks - googling installing flash on 10.1017:31
wyldeXabster: I beleieve apache is run as the www-data user, so www-data has to have at least read permissions of the files you want to serve17:31
Xenethdougl, you should be able to do that from the software center.  You want the latest, there is likely a repository somewhere with it.17:32

guggerook, no problem, you will find my at #swissrules18:06
swblnk: you want SSH access or Remote Desktop access?18:08
blnkI had done some reading on the topic and it said that remote desktop through the internet is unsafe and it should be done through SSH. so the overall goal is remote desktop access18:08
swblnk: it's in the community documentation. take a look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#Accessing_your_PC_over_the_Internet18:09
blnkI've read that but it gets a little difficult to follow since it doesn't have specific instructions with Android AND and Apple Airport Extreme. Which makes me a little unsure if i'm doing it correctly18:11

coolproHello, how do I copy the image of one hard disk to another?20:26
dj_segfaultcoolpro: The most direct command line way to do it is with the dd command.  Do you want to copy all the partitions?20:27
scientescoolpro, gparted can do it20:27
scientescoolpro, and with gparted you can resize it down first, so you dont waste time copying zeros20:27

sivikscientes, how do I do that from grub rescue command prompt?20:30
ActionParsnipcoolpro: I'd just do a clean install then restore userdata from backup20:30
scientessivik, that is from ubuntu, like a live cd, with grub-install --boot-directory20:30
dj_segfaultActionParsnip: Yes, I know 10.04 is old, but I have about 5 computers I would have to update at the same time (because they all use MythTV and I use unison a lot they all need to be on the same version) so I need a full weekend for that.20:30
hauxActionParsnip, xubuntu.desktop shows the exec to be startxfce4. Unfortunately, startxfce4 starts the xfce session.20:30
sivikscientes, alright.20:30
scientessivik, what im saying is that maybe your grub didn't get updated along with ubuntu20:30
sivikor install and thats probably because of the issue with my network card20:31
ActionParsniphaux: no options and such?20:31
dj_segfaultcoolpro: That will really only work if the drives are the same size, and I doubt you're going to buy another 40GB.20:31

scientescoolpro, there is a backup program in system settings20:31
ActionParsnipcoolpro: copy what you want backing up to an external storage20:32
sivikscientes, yes I know, thats not what I mean20:32
hauxActionParsnip, I'm not sure what you mean by options. But both xubuntu.desktop and xfce.desktop show exec=startxfce4, which nothing else after it20:32
coolprodj_segfault: yes, the size will be different, I am gonna get a 1TB HDD20:32

dj_segfaultcoolpro: I would do what ActionParsnip says and use a backup program, or just back up home and transfer it over.  Alternately, install onto the new drive, hook up the other drive at the same time temporarily, and copy what you want from it.20:34

ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.20:37

scientesluxx, see what provides x-www-browser21:25
luxxwhen I use apt-get purge, it just goes in a merrygoround of removing one and installing another21:25
luxxhow do I do that?21:25
scientesluxx, thats cause you have a metapackage isntalled21:25
luxxcool do you know which one?21:26
scientesluxx, you just have to remove "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage prob21:26
luxxok will try21:26

luxxscientes I want a system without any web browser21:29
ActionParsniprobotam: a webkit based web browser21:29
luxxActionParsnip try reading my original question21:29
scientesluxx, well i said, if you use dpkg -r it might tell you the offending metapackage21:29
luxxok thanks21:30
scientesluxx, but to be honest, alot of software requires ANY web browser, so it might not work21:30
ActionParsnipluxx: I believe if you install lynx or similar it should be ok.I've had Ubuntu install epiphany if you pull out it's  browser, it's weird21:30
luxxoh man it is gecko-mediaplayer that has the web browser dependency21:31
swluxx: a lot of packages install a web browser, so if you're removing all web browsers from your system, you'll probably have a hard time keeping it that way in the future21:31
ActionParsnipluxx: you could pin the version of epiphany and remove firefox. That'll show it :)21:31

luxxsw scientes it's more than possible to have a functional system without a web browser. my arch system has been like that for about a year until I tried ubuntu yesterday21:31
scientesluxx, well then install lynx or w3m, and that way you wont be bothered21:32
ActionParsnipluxx: it can have no web browser, install minimal and install openbox, no web browser will be installed....21:32
scientesluxx, also, you need to turn off automatic recommends installation21:32
scientesluxx, because the default is to install SOME software that isn't strictly required, but recommended to get the most out of software21:32
swluxx: I didn't say it wasn't21:33
scientes^^^21:33
luxxI know that it is sensible to have a web browser installed21:33
luxxbut it strikes me as odd that it makes it so hard to remove it21:33
luxxit's almost like windows with ie lol21:33
ActionParsnipluxx: why is it so impertive to not have a browser?21:33
scientesluxx, and for that reason you arn't going to get anywhere without turning off automatic recommends installation21:33
scientesluxx, but after that, yes you can probably do without a browser21:33
scientesluxx, you also might have to remove the "lxde" metapackage21:34
luxxbut anyway removing lubuntu-desktop and gecko-mediaplayer seems to have done the trick21:34
ActionParsnipscientes: lxde isn't a metapackage21:34
ActionParsnip!info lxde21:34
ubottulxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.0-4ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 5 kB, installed size 36 kB21:34

scienteshaha21:34
ActionParsnipscientes: sorry dude21:34
luxxI have uninstalled all three browsers21:34

AklsHello. I have wireless connection (my internet) and wired connection(lan). whenever I set an IP for wired connection, it tries to use it for internet(but there's no internet on lan) and fails. How can I workaround? I'd like to use some GUI way. I'm on lubuntu.21:35
scientesthat was me luxx  :P21:35
luxxthanks21:35
luxx!21:35
luxxActionParsnip this is for my 'work only' virtualbox installation, so I don't want anything unproductive on there21:36
ActionParsnipAkls: can you ping 8.8.8.8?21:36
ActionParsnipluxx: i'd have definately started with minimal then :)21:36
AklsActionParsnip, yes. wtf is this IP? :D21:36
ActionParsnipAkls: then run:   echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null21:37
luxxActionParsnip sure - but I don't like installing login managers from scratch21:37
ActionParsnipAkls: then try the web21:37
luxxActionParsnip that always seems to go wrong for me21:37
ActionParsnipluxx: sudo apt-get install slim     will do it, or you can bypass that and run the startx command via /etc/rc.local ;)21:37
robotamcan some one help me mount my external hdd?21:37
luxxActionParsnip yeah I tried that before, but I'm a bit wary because installing gdm fucked up my arch system before. I like having a login manager because it makes it easier to automount volumes21:38
robotamwhen i try to change the filesystem and do fdisk /dev/sdb2  there are no partitions with filesystems to change21:38
tekoniveloif i wanted to automajically install a downloaded .deb -file (not from the Archives), and install it's dependencies too, is there other tool that gdebi (which doesn't install by default)?21:39
ActionParsnipluxx: surely fstab does that as well as udev etc?21:39
AklsActionParsnip, wait. I can ping 8.8.8.8 when I disabled my configuration for lan. now, when it's set up, I can't ping it21:39
scientesAkls, that ip is google21:39
tekoniveloi'm working on a juju charm21:39
scientesAkls, but routed by level 321:39
ActionParsniptekonivelo: install the deb with dpkg, then run:  sudo apt-get -f install21:40
luxxActionParsnip yep in theory, but it never seemed to work quite right21:40
ActionParsnipAkls: then you know your config is bad21:40
luxxthunar-volman was always complaining about something21:40
ActionParsnipluxx: bizarre21:40
gbjkHi. I've upgraded a htpc from 10.04 to latest and I get the symbol "grub_puts_" not found, and dumped into grub recovery.21:40
scientesAkls, you might be able to use network-manager-gnome in lxde21:40
tekoniveloActionParsnip: this is a little of a bastard of a debian package... i want to encourage them to do it properly21:40
ActionParsnipluxx: not used thunar is a while, i use pcmanfm and nautilus tbh21:41
tekoniveloActionParsnip: it has Solr in the package too21:41
gbjkI've attempted to use a live cd, but it's not accepting the medium and just dumping me back to grub recovery again. Not sure why.21:41
ActionParsniptekonivelo: the -f option will try and satisfy deps, or it willoffer to remove it21:41
tekoniveloActionParsnip: anyways, ok thanks i'll do dpkg -i foo.deb && apt-get install -f21:41
luxxActionParsnip didn't try pcmanfm,, but nautilus is a bit heavy for my old desktop with 512mb ram21:41
gbjkSo, the likely cause is that I made a mistake when prompted by grub during upgrade.21:41
ActionParsnipluxx: very true21:41
scientesteknoduke, yeah, just use wget, and dpkg21:41
gbjkls / at grub recovery console shows sane things.21:41
ActionParsnipgbjk: did you MD5 the ISO you downloaded?21:41
AklsActionParsnip, What I did: right click on network connections icon -> edit connections -> select my wired connection -> edit -> ipv4 settings -> method Manual ->  ip 192.168.0.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.121:41
luxxActionParsnip ok thanks all!21:42

gimbalHi folks. I'm trying to figure out what questions to ask google about a Linux related thing - not expecting to find any pre-rolled option for it, basically just to clarify: Like, when a public wifi router posts a page that every HTTP request redirects to, immediately after Wifi and DHCP login on the AP, and then the user has to fill out what forms, read and accept the TOS, and click on ...22:11
gimbal...how could a person put something like that together on Ubuntu?22:11
gimbalI'm guessing it would involve some low-level calls into the router, maybe some kind of web app managing that?22:12
L3topNAT?22:12
gimbal..with something kicking it in gear, in the first place, for the HTTP filtering and redirect22:12
gbjkOh, but it could easily be that I skipped off the livecd before it got "sensible" to the first term.22:12
L3topWhat specifically are you trying to do that you wish to use the mounted bash and not the live bash gbjk22:12
gbjkMaybe I should have waited for it to actually give me a desktop22:12
gbjkL3top: I just need to fix grub, that's all the livecd's for.22:13
gimbalL3top: I'm was guessing that it would be managed seperate from NAT, though I see that one would want to add some NAT-related features to it, to block all net access except for HTTP on the redirect thing, until the user accepts the TOS and so on22:13

Monkeypawsi wanted to use LVM because i have different sized disks i want to just keep throwing into the system, a 1Gig here, a 3 gig, another 3gig, etc..23:32
Monkeypawsso i may not need the snapshot feature23:33
Monkeypawsis that something i can turn off?23:33
gbjkMonkeypaws: Yeah. Just don't snapshot and you're fine.23:34
Monkeypawsgotcha23:34
Monkeypawsbut i will need to recreate lvm partitions on any disk i want to use, right?  I can't convert a disk to LVM and maintain the data23:34
DennisRasL3top: error, "server is already active for dislplay 0"23:34
gbjkMonkeypaws: Correct.23:35
Monkeypawsok thanks23:35
L3topDennisRas: echo $DISPLAY23:36
DennisRasL3top: xserver-xorg-video-intel is already installed by the way23:37
L3topi assued23:37
L3topassumes23:37
L3topugh   1 hand23:37
gbjkL3top: Okay - so I have two kernels. I presume the new one was installed today. When I boot, I don't see a grub menu to choose which one I want to boot (which I'm used to on other platforms, e.g. my laptop).23:38
=== Guest55440 is now known as dmogle
gbjkL3top: I'm thinking I can solve my problem for now just by changing it back to use the old kernel.23:38
briankbwhat do I need to install so rhythmbox will play flac files?23:38

G7Riderhave problem with sound in ubuntu..23:39
=== Guest7972 is now known as dmogle
DennisRasL3top: do i lack configuration or what are you thinking?23:40
L3topDennisRas: echo $DISPLAY23:40
G7Ridermy second audio output is not working(but in windows it's ok)23:41
DennisRasL3top: oh sorry, 023:41
L3top:0 or 023:41
DennisRas:023:41
DennisRasDidn't know it made a difference23:42
gbjkOkay, no, I'm talking crap.23:42
Kaizenhow can i check what other packages are installed when i install something?23:42
bangeusz#rubyonrails23:42
gbjkI'll just take a swing at running xbmc on livecd.23:42
muellisoftbriankb: hm. doesn't it out of the box? You will need the appropriate gstreamer codec.23:43
=== muellisoft is now known as Muelli
=== Robert_ is now known as Guest55037
MuelliKaizen: hm. I don't think I understand your question. aptitude or apt-get as well as synaptics will show you the dependencies which need to be installed in order to install the package of your choice (IIRC). If you want to see the dependencies of a package, you can do "apt-cache depends $package".23:44
Muelli!sound | G7Rider23:44
ubottuG7Rider: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.23:44
marsfligthBig question: Can 'fsck.ext3' overwrite the files that are into a corrupted 'ext3' fs? Many thanks23:45
briankbMuelli, I've already got gstreamer-ffmpeg. kinda wierd that flac is not in there. was avoiding the bad/ugly packages till now23:45
Muellibriankb: yeah, I would presume that FLAC is not ugly or bad. In fact, I really assume that gstreamer plays FLAC OOTB. But apparently it doesn't :-(23:46
bambinodo anyone know how can i mount my intern cdroom in ubuntu 11.10 i have a laptop hp pavilion dv 600023:46
Muellihm marsfligth. I really don't know for sure, but I imagine corrupted but recovered files to go to /lost+found.23:47
briankbthat's what I thought too, I'm using Precise beta2 btw23:47
G7Rideri have sound on my 2.1 system which is connected to my 1st audio  output.But my headphones are silent(2nd output).I have checked my settings and it's i can't find a way to make it work]23:47
Monkeypawscan someone chat with me about LVM on my NAS?  I want to do it, i think it makes sense for me, but i dont want to paint myself into a corner with something complicated...23:47
reCAPTCHA_Hey all... update manager and software center keep throwing me seg faults. Here's the error log: http://www.pasteall.org/3078323:47
Muellibambino: it should mount automatically. If it doesn't, something is wrong. Anyway, the manual method involves the "mount" command. Check its manpage.23:47
KM0201Monkeypaws: sorry, never set up LVM.. try asking in #ubuntu-server23:47
Monkeypawsok ty23:48
G7Riderthanx anyway23:48
MuellireCAPTCHA_: that's weird indeed. Have you filed a bug?23:48
Dreadyhy ... any web site to learn hacking ??23:48
Muellisure Dready, but that's rather for #ubuntu-offtopic.23:49
gbjkMonkeypaws: So long as you have spare media to yank stuff off onto, then it can't go "too" wrong.23:49
reCAPTCHA_Muelli: Well, I have been looking and other people have had the problem, and it seems that installing or reinstalling python-gtk2 does the trick... but doing so gets me nowhere.23:49
Muellibriankb: you might want to hop over to #gstreamer and ask there.23:49
gbjkMonkeypaws: But wtf would I know. I just screwed myself out of a working xbmc because I thought "Maybe these issues are fixed in latest..>"23:50
MonkeypawsDready - yah there used to be some great hacking contest sites that would walk you through that stuff.  like datafort.  i'm sure there are newer ones that could help you out.  google for hacking test or hacking contest23:50
reCAPTCHA_Muelli: I would just upgrade to 12.04 LTS from 10.04, but I obviously cannot being that I cannot get the update-manager working.23:50
MuellireCAPTCHA_: file a bug first. It will contain information that might help tracking the issue down. Everything else is trying to read a crystal ball.23:50
Monkeypawsgbjk - if it makes you feel any better i've done it no less than 5 times myself :P23:50
gbjkOh - I've only done it a few times.23:50
gbjkEach time, I have to try and remember what the "gotchas" were last time.23:51
DreadyMonkeypaws 10X23:51
briankbMuelli, ah, gstreamer-nice package isn't installed by default23:51
gbjkLooks like the last installation was straight from xbmc live cd, and now I'm running an 11.04 upgrade from a desktop iso, so I suspect I'll be shafted.23:51
MonkeypawsYUP23:51
reCAPTCHA_Muelli: Sorry, what I meant to say was that I believe that this bug has already been filed.23:51
Monkeypawsi would bet on that23:51
MonkeypawsDready - find anything?23:52
MuellireCAPTCHA_: then it will tell you. So you've got no excuse to not file this bug.23:52
maxflaxAll you filesystems gurus - how come a newly formatted disc in ext4 already have 20Gig taken?23:52
=== bluemoon4 is now known as bluemoon44
schultzawhere can i find the advantages to running lightdm or gdm over the other?23:52
gbjkmaxflax: I think you meant "magicians". And I doubt it can. occam's razor may apply.23:53
DreadyMonkeypaws nothing magical23:53
Muellihm briankb. Interesting indeed. Might be on purpose. Is there any example media in the home directory that requires a codec from the -nice package? If so, it's clearly a bug.23:53
briankbno example media that I know of23:53
reCAPTCHA_Muelli: And once I do?23:54
maxflaxgbjk: prolly23:54
MuellireCAPTCHA_: you either find a solution directly in the bug tracker or come back with the bug id so that we have much more information than you could provide with a few lines here in IRC.23:55
jason_fridayhey23:55
blnkI'm trying to connect from my mobile phone to my computer through SSH and it times out. I nmap my phone and it looks like port 22 isn't open.. Does anybody know another way?23:55
jason_fridayblnk/ check ur linux server setting23:55
jason_fridayits prolly not your phones fault23:56
Muelliwell blnk. Does it say "filtered" or "closed"?23:56
blnki've Nmap that also and 22 is open23:56
KM0201or you're blocking port 22 on your router (most likely)23:56
blnknope, i've port forwarded the router also. I can connect if i'm on the same network, but i'm trying to do it remotely23:56
vltblnk: You don’t need to have an open port 22 _on_ your phone btw.23:56
KM0201vlt: that should be obvious...23:57
jason_fridaydoes anyone know a channel for c programming?23:57
