[00:00] <sentriz|netbook> does anyone know the name of  the package for the default ubuntu movie player? i wanna remove it
[00:00] <sentriz|netbook> does anyone know the name of  the package for the default ubuntu movie player? i wanna remove it
[00:00] <ProfessorBacon> anyone able to run unity without random freezing?
[00:01] <sentriz|netbook> how to find the name of a package?
[00:02] <tbrown2012> Can I install Photoshop cs5 or something on ubuntu using winehq
[00:02] <RyuGuns> Theoretically possible.
[00:02] <sentriz|netbook> -.-
[00:02] <rhin0> trying to get bash command to run another command
[00:02] <rhin0> just need to bash then ssh from applet
[00:02] <trism> sentriz|netbook: totem
[00:02] <sentriz|netbook> Thanks!
[00:02] <yeik> rhin0, what do you mean?
[00:02] <sentriz|netbook> :)
[00:03] <rhin0> i need bash <commandname> where commandname is ssh
[00:03] <rhin0> so I can put it into an applet
[00:03] <rhin0> and have an applet ot get into system
[00:03] <ProfessorBacon> rhin0: "ssh --help"?
[00:03] <rhin0> no its bash
[00:03] <aaas> tbrown2012 is virtualbox an option
[00:03] <rhin0> I need to know hwo to get bash to issue a command on run
[00:03] <MrUnagi> rhin0: on un of what
[00:04] <ProfessorBacon> rhin0: what shell are you in?
[00:04] <rhin0> xfce4
[00:04] <rhin0> but it runs same as bash
[00:04] <ProfessorBacon> rhin0: have you tried to run terminal
[00:04] <yeik> rhin0, are you trying to do this in code? why do you need to run bash then a command?
[00:04] <rhin0> in a single command line
[00:04] <rhin0> bash "commandname"
[00:05] <xio3> would it be safe to store /var on a ram partition?
[00:05] <yeik> ssh | bash
[00:05] <yeik> ?
[00:05] <Jordan_U> xio3: No.
[00:05] <ProfessorBacon> bash and ssh?  i don't see the connection
[00:05] <itaylor57> rhin0 is talking about the run progam from applications menu
[00:06] <ProfessorBacon> alt+f2?
[00:06] <JonMarkGo> Boohbah - Where can I find mirrors?
[00:06] <rhin0> I want to be able to type from bash shell "bash ssh@servername" and get in
[00:06] <rhin0> so I can put that on an applet
[00:06] <xio3> Jordan_U: any reason why?  it looks like mostly temporary stuff
[00:06] <ProfessorBacon> rhin0: why not just use "ssh user@host"?
[00:06] <Jordan_U> xio3: Counterexamples: /var/www/ /var/log/
[00:07] <Boohbah> JonMarkGo: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[00:07] <ProfessorBacon> rhin0: what's the end result you are looking for
[00:07] <xio3> Jordan_U: it is a desktop system so /var/www i think is of no concern. /var/log is probably not either...
[00:07] <rhin0> that worked
[00:07] <rhin0> thanks
[00:07] <ProfessorBacon> np
[00:08]  * yeik laughs
[00:08] <rhin0> gotta get all applets set up -- work faster
[00:08]  * rhin0 has zillions of taskbar applets
[00:08] <acicula> xio3: doing that will break your package managment for one
[00:09] <xio3> acicula: that was the underlying wonder i had actually
[00:09] <Jordan_U> xio3: /var/lib/dpkg/
[00:10] <yeik> xio3, i believe the /temp can be moved
[00:10] <xio3> Jordan_U & acicula: any suggestions for how i can boot a basic x session in read-only and/or overlay to ram and then mount an encryption partition and restart x?
[00:10] <yeik> but why waste a ram partition on something like that?
[00:10] <acicula> xio3: /var/{lib,spool,cache} all hold information you want to keep over a reboot. you can use tmpfs storage for /tmp but not for /var
[00:11] <acicula> xio3: eh that sounds fairly convoluted, what are you trying to achieve?
[00:11] <yeik> xio3, ram partitions are best for either temporary data that is processing (ie something that needs quick access) or something you use a lot, and copy it to ram from the fs, and make sure they are synced.
[00:12] <xio3> acicula: i want a gui to mount an encrypted partition; then be able to upgrade the programs. i don't want any added programs beyond the basic os software to be visible when the system is off.
[00:13] <yeik> xio3,  why not dual partition, and use a bootable file that you keep on the usb drive?
[00:13] <xio3> yeik: i'm not sure if i follow.
[00:14] <yeik> xio3, your trying to have a secure operating system, then one that has all your other stuff that nobody can access right?
[00:14] <xio3> yeik: yes.
[00:14] <yeik> do you need both?
[00:15] <xio3> yeik: i'm trying to avoid having an advisory decipher what a system is being used for. the entire system might be run from a usb flash drive. if the flash drive is looked at there would be an encrypted partition with data/programs that are not on with a basic operating system.
[00:16] <yeik> xio3, so something like truecrypt does with windows.
[00:16] <xio3> yeik: yes
[00:16] <xio3> yeik: i think truecrypt has you enter a password before a GUI is up though
[00:17] <xio3> yeik: i've designed systems like the one i've described before with 10.04 although am looking to design a new one with ubuntu 12.04.
[00:17] <yeik> xio3, you could do something like that http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=318075
[00:17] <yeik> xi03, you could also create a virtualbox image and put it in an encrypted file container.
[00:18] <DrManhattan> ok so I want to make sure the gui doesn't start - what's the app - preferably a console app - to adjust my services
[00:18] <yeik> DrManhattan, runlevel?
[00:18] <zykotick9> DrManhattan: "technically" with upstart - there isn't one...
[00:18] <DrManhattan> sysv-rc-conf?
[00:18] <DrManhattan> I used to use rcconf - but I am quite rusty with Ubuntu
[00:18] <bastidrazor> DrManhattan: you want to boot to a prompt instead of the GUI?
[00:19] <DrManhattan> bastidrazor, correct, like old-school runlevel 3
[00:19] <zykotick9> DrManhattan: i'm not sure you sure trust rcconf with moder ubuntu/upstart - but you could try it...
[00:19] <zykotick9> !text | DrManhattan
[00:20] <bastidrazor> DrManhattan: /etc/default/grub   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=     add text that line then save.  sudo update-grub
[00:20] <yeik> DrManhattan, why not install ubuntu server? i don't think it has a gui
[00:20] <DrManhattan> zykotick9, I need to do that by default
[00:20] <DrManhattan> thanks bastidrazor
[00:20] <DrManhattan> yeik, it's on a VM and I need the easycap driver
[00:20] <bastidrazor> DrManhattan: you'll need to enclose that in quotes.. ="text"
[00:20] <agoodm> I have a simple issue with pulse audio... it seems to be mixing my audio output with my microphone for skype causing a lot of feedback...
[00:21] <xio3> yeik: the virtual emulation thing would work although is of an inferior design to what i'd like to achieve. i don't think that link described what i'm trying to do either. they are talking about setting up multiple partitions for multiple operating system and encrypting them i think.
[00:21] <DrManhattan> I believe the kernel used for desktop is better for zoneminder camera response as well
[00:21] <zykotick9> DrManhattan: fyi bastidrazor suggestion will work, but it's not addressing the "service" issue directly ;)
[00:22] <DrManhattan> bastidrazor, just adding it to the existing line within the quotes is fine, right?
[00:22] <bastidrazor> DrManhattan: yes
[00:22] <yeik> xio3, i don't think there is an easy way to do what you want, not sure but you might be able to encrypt a fs, and when you decrypt it, use chroot, or something similar, and run the "hidden" os with your programs along that path.
[00:22] <DrManhattan> zykotick9, that's silly, it accomplishes the same thing as you're telling me to do without having to do it manually every time
[00:22] <xio3> yeik: yea; that is more along the lines of what i'm thinking
[00:24] <DrManhattan> so my only problem now is i'm going to have to run/make a custom script to run mplayer for 2 seconds before zoneminder fires up if I can't find some more advanced configuration options - but if/when I get that done, I'll have a VM that uses 9 dollar usb easycaps over USB
[00:24] <xio3> yeik: i think what i might be able to do is setup a partition scheme where the basic os exists then mount an overlay file system to an encrypted partition after x is up. then remount root in r/w and and restart x.
[00:25] <DrManhattan> if there's any way I can get them to use a usb hub (doubtful) then I can set up some pretty heavy duty security systems that aren't hardware dependent
[00:25] <picklehead> #ireland
[00:25] <yeik> xio3, sounds really complicated. good luck.
[00:25] <DrManhattan> Oh hell no, it still booted up into the gui login
[00:25] <DrManhattan> death.
[00:25] <picklehead> boolox
[00:26] <xio3> yeik:    :)   complicated only begins to describe it. i have to get more familiar with it. i think you can remount root if the system is partitioned right.
[00:26] <yeik> xio3, why the trouble for this?
[00:26] <agoodm> ubuntu is using the wrong microphone input
[00:26] <DrManhattan> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text"
[00:27] <DrManhattan> lol I have to update-grub don't I?
[00:27] <xio3> yeik: top secret.
[00:27] <yeik> xio3, well, i was just thinking that it isn't really secure, especially if your swap partition is open and it uses swap
[00:27] <xio3> yeik: there is more to this than meets the eye. you are only hearing the first half.
[00:28] <DrManhattan> yeah I forgot that update-grub
[00:28] <DrManhattan> im used to grub1 - sorry about that
[00:28] <xio3> yeik: yea- there are a whole lot of things that need to be done in addition to what i'm inquiring about at the moment.
[00:28] <yeik> xio3, the easiest, quickest, and most secure option is virtualbox vm. and those are portable, and encrypted.
[00:29] <yeik> or can be encrypted
[00:29] <xio3> yeik: the only part which i'm unsure of at the moment is how to get x up and running to mount an encrypted filesystem- and then be able to 'restart' it using a different root file system.
[00:30] <yeik> xio3, why restart? just create a new x session.
[00:30] <xio3> yeik: again- i'm not terribly interested in the virtual box method. it is easier although wouldn't work as well for the user base.
[00:30] <yeik> xio3, you can use opennx,
[00:30] <xio3> yeik: i'm not sure how to create a new x session
[00:31] <Guiri> How can I create an SSH jail with a shell?  Most of the openssh sftp guides take away shell access.
[00:31] <xio3> yeik: that might work... i've done something similar. the thing with that is it complicates things.
[00:31] <xio3> yeik: it is sort of like running virtual box...
[00:31] <yeik> xio3, sounds like its already complicated.
[00:32] <xio3> yeik: it is. even a virtual box setup is pretty complicated actually.
[00:33] <yeik> xio3, virtualbox is easy. i can set one up in no time, clone it, and make it 1 clock for users.
[00:34] <xio3> yeik: there are actually a variety of issues with virtualbox. for one you are duplicating the amount of space necessary.
[00:35] <binny> hey! =)
[00:35] <binny> I'm trying to change my apache port. but it doesn't seem to be working and i have NO clue why
[00:35] <yeik> xio3, your going to have to duplicate the space anyway, your talking about two os's unless you keep the linux kernel and everything the same at all times, between them, and link everything that is the same.
[00:36] <binny> I added Listen 8080 to the ports.conf
[00:36] <binny> and when i goto localhost:8000 it gives me nothing
[00:36] <xio3> yeik: yep- that is what i'm thinking. i think as long as the software on the base os is in sync it should be possible to restart x with a different configuration.
[00:37] <binny> and advice as per what could have gone wrong?
[00:37] <binny> thanks =)
[00:37] <acicula> xio3: whats your goal which such a complicated setup?
[00:38] <DrManhattan> so I guess my only real issue is getting things installed on software raid
[00:38] <DrManhattan> I'll address that when 12.04 final comes out, because the last LTS installed just fine
[00:39] <xio3> acicula: i wish i could tell you. i guess i can inform you of the gist of it. trying to keep a variety of users on a single platform that can't be distinguished from another group of users all while having a different set of applications.  those applications could indicate what group a particular person was associated. this could be dangerous.
[00:39] <yeik> DrManhattan, i thought you were using a virtual machine? maybe i haven't been paying attention
[00:39] <DrManhattan> yelk - I was, that's all wrapped up now. It works great!
[00:39] <yeik> xio3, all your trying to do is keep what programs users have access to seperate?
[00:40] <yeik> DrManhattan, ok good. just didn't think virtual machine and software raid went together (for most people anyway)
[00:40] <DrManhattan> this is for a standard generic in house ubuntu box on real hardware, I have tried out a few different versions of the installer and the only thing that works on my nvraid box with raid of any sort is 10.04
[00:41] <DrManhattan> 11.10 and 12.04 both wont do it.
[00:41] <DrManhattan> a real disappointment really
[00:41] <yeik> i know sometimes the depreciate drivers
[00:41] <yeik> is it older hardware?
[00:41] <DrManhattan> Not really
[00:41] <DrManhattan> just nvraid
[00:41] <acicula> xio3: use sandard ubuntu with encrypted home and store whatever applications you want to hide in the home?
[00:41] <DrManhattan> I would consider nvraid obscure for linux
[00:42] <invader> Does anyone how a an Ubuntu app that works with windows 7 "More Secure" mode?
[00:42] <yeik> DrManhattan, you might be able to put the driver in 12.04
[00:42] <invader> *know
[00:42] <yeik> invader, what do you mean, windows 7 "more secure" mode?
[00:43] <DrManhattan> yeik, oh yeah its easy post install, but pre-install, you can't  parition the raid devices or install to them
[00:43] <DrManhattan> you can create a raid device but when you go back to the partitioner, the raid device doesn't show up
[00:43] <yeik> DrManhattan, so you need a pre-install environment. you can install a newer version of linux from an older bootable disk.
[00:44] <invader> yeik, In windows 7 you  can for RDP select "Less Secure" and "More Secure" more secure uses TLS for RDP.
[00:44] <DrManhattan> yeik, I don't know whats newer than 12.04
[00:44] <xio3> yeik: umm.... for example. if you have two groups which use two separate sets of applications and an attacker doesn't know which group the person is associated they could just look at the applications used. it would then determine if the user is part of a group that is of interest to the attacker.
[00:44] <yeik> DrManhattan, nothing now.
[00:44] <DrManhattan> to be honest I just want to be able to put bios raid on and use it, but dodmraid doesn't seem to cut it
[00:45] <yeik> invader, so, you need TLS rdp application in linux.
[00:45] <DrManhattan> I still just end up seeing the two devices as if it were in ide compat mode
[00:45] <DrManhattan> and debian testing does the same, but 10.04 lts picks up hardware and software raid just fine
[00:45] <DrManhattan> there's no easycap module for 10.04 though
[00:45] <invader> yeik, yes correct for RDP.
[00:46] <invader> yeik, From googling around I cant really find anything.
[00:47] <xio3> acicula: i'm not sure storing the applications in the home would work. you would need to be able to boot with root in a read-only mode, install the application, and then reboot, and still be able to access the application. is this not basically what i was describing? i would think x would need to be restarted.
[00:49] <bcardarella> I have a simple command: echo "sometext" > somefile   that I want to run as sudo but when I put sudo in front I believe sudo is just being called on 'echo' instead of the '>' command. How would I get the later?
[00:50] <acicula> xio3: you would just boot a normal ubuntu, mount the home and setup the paths such that programs in the home directory can also be executed. No need for rebooting or installing anything. If you wanted to you could use a read only root file system with an in memory overlay with that yes.
[00:50] <agoodm> I have a really weird audio problem
[00:50] <bastidrazor> bcardarella: echo 'stuff' | sudo tee /path/to/somefile
[00:50] <yeik> invader, not sure, freerdp looks like it might
[00:50] <bcardarella> bastidrazor: ah yes, pipe. I always forget about that. Thank you :)
[00:51] <bastidrazor> bcardarella: you may also want to look at adding 'tee -a' for append. without it it'll overwrite the contents
[00:51] <itaylor57> bastidrazor, +1
[00:52] <yeik> xio3, is this on a network attached computers? you could mount a fs remotely that adds the apps they have access to, or like acicula was saying, add it to the path.
[00:52] <yeik> DrManhattan, not sure about that. but it sounds like you just need the right drivers, if you could add them to the live-cd and installation i think it would work.
[00:53] <bastidrazor> bcardarella: you're welcome
[00:53] <DrManhattan> yeik, that would be pretty tight
[00:53] <eldereko> is it going to mess anything up to have both i386/x64 versions of opengl/mesa libraries installed?
[00:53] <DrManhattan> yeik, but even with software raid it does this, so I don't think it's a driver issue
[00:54] <yeik> DrManhattan, you mean hardware raid? software raid is high level, hardware is low level.
[00:54] <xio3> yeik: that might work.  as long as you can mount the encrypted partition once x starts. how would you get the desktop to recognise the applications after the home was mounted?
[00:55] <DrManhattan> yeik, it gives me the error I discussed earlier with the created raid devices not appearing in the partitioner with software raid
[00:55] <xio3> yeik: if that would work i would think you would at a minimum need to restart x or log the user in/out.
[00:56] <xio3> yeik: or maybe start x, your encryption program, and then the login manager.
[00:56] <yeik> xio3, not really. applications are just like windows, an exe. if you have access to it, (and shared libraries that might be in use) you can run it.
[00:57] <yeik> xio3, not sure how your window manager works, but i think there should be a way to add those programs to the window manager application list as well
[00:57] <DrManhattan> I just hope zoneminder will let me view /dev/dvb devices
[00:57] <yeik> xio3, the hard thing will be if you use apt or dpkg to install
[00:58] <yeik> DrManhattan, i haven't tried lots of raids, i have seen too many of them fail. but when i do set them up, they just work. So i'm afraid im not much help really.
[00:58] <DrManhattan> although I'm half tempted to throw two bttv and a 713x alongside the ati 550pro and just use those as my zoneminder devices
[00:58] <DrManhattan> yeik, same here - especially in linux
[00:58] <xio3> yeik: that is the idea.. having a normal system.
[00:59] <DrManhattan> I've always loved the simplicity and performance of software raid in linux of many flavors
[00:59] <DrManhattan> but these are betas and the such we're discussing anyhow - it works just fine in both forms in the lts release
[00:59] <DrManhattan> well 11.10 isnt "beta" but it isnt "stable" either
[00:59] <xio3> yeik: i think it is probably doable to simply use an overlay file system though and simply restart x.
[01:00] <dihi228> hey all, does ubuntu use synaptic package manager like lubuntu?
[01:00] <DrManhattan> Im going to give software raid a shot on ich10 right now - my bet is itll work fine
[01:00] <DrManhattan> Nvraid is so fecal that nvidia gave up on it
[01:00] <yeik> xio3,  you still have the duplicate files, and you would have to overlay everything. i just don't know how that would work well. or even if it would.
[01:00] <xio3> yeik: i would think the only things that would be impacted are daemons
[01:00] <zykotick9> dihi228: ubuntu software center is probably consider the default package manager
[01:00] <dihi228> i'm trying to install the ESR version of Firefox, 10.0.3...but alas only FF 11 is available in synaptic....any ideas how to do this?
[01:01] <xio3> yeik: i think i'm understanding why you are saying things would be duplicated now.
[01:01] <xio3> yeik: you are right. they probably would be over time.
[01:02] <yeik> xio3, you seem to be worried about security after someone is in the system... looking at the applications that are listed. that isn't good.
[01:03] <schultza> does dockbarx work with cinnamon?
[01:03] <l_r> when will ubuntu be out
[01:04] <xio3> yeik: you have to presume the user knows the medium was confiscated. otherwise this is a pointless endeavour.
[01:04] <invader> yeik, Hmm that might work. Thanks man.
[01:04] <xio3> yeik: border crossings might be a good example. if the medium is taken all bets are off.
[01:05] <xio3> yeik: however they wouldn't be able to determine the use of the device.
[01:05] <zykotick9> schultza: cinnamon is not really supported here.  do you have it running on ubuntu?
[01:05] <yeik> xio3, if the medium is taken, encrypted user folders should be enough.
[01:06] <gerzel> Ok I got an odd problem  I got a new monitor.  And recently did a long over-due upgrade of my packages.  Running 11.04.  On my old monitor, flash video plays with normal colors.  On my new monitor flash plays with red/blue reversed.  I can't find any other application where this problem exists.  It is browser independant in firefox, chrome and opera.  The only thing that seems to matter is which screen it is played on.
[01:06] <xio3> yeik: encrypted users folders wouldn't protect a user from someone discovering what applications are used.
[01:06] <gerzel> Other colors on the same screen are normal
[01:06] <tbrown2012> Installing Microsoft 2010 in Ubuntu I deed not know that it was possible
[01:06] <xio3> yeik: or at least what applications were installed.
[01:06] <scientes> TBoxley-Server, it is with !wine or !codeweavers
[01:06] <yeik> xio3, the only way to do that, is to compile the packages yourself, and store them in an encrypted container, then mount it.
[01:07] <scientes> !wine | tbrown2012
[01:07] <scientes> !crossover | tbrown2012
[01:07] <scientes> hmm no info for crossover
[01:07] <xio3> yeik: as you mention with the virtual box example there are ways to do it.
[01:07] <scientes> tbrown2012, http://www.codeweavers.com/products/
[01:08] <yeik> xio3, yes, but i was stating the way you are talking
[01:08] <scientes> tbrown2012, but libreoffice is recommended over office, it supports the same file formats
[01:08] <xio3> yeik: you might be right.
[01:08] <schultza> zykotick9: no... i dont have it running at the moment... i have gnomenu and dockbarX running
[01:08] <tbrown2012> I deed not need help with winehq I was just saying that I cant belive that installing windows microsoft office in ubuntu I already installed it so dont need help
[01:08] <yeik> xio3, see, if you use ubuntu properly, apt-get etc, dpkg all have a few locations that are written to.
[01:08] <yeik> xio3, other than that, encrypt the whole hard drive.
[01:09] <franklinr> Hello, I need help with SSH tunneling. I have putty on Windows and I want to tunnel traffic to Ubuntu's VPN connection, but so far my web traffic goes through eth1 instead of the VPN connection. What can I do?
[01:09] <xio3> yeik: encrypting the whole disk is an option. the issue though is how do you get a GUI up to mount the encrypted partition?
[01:10] <xio3> yeik: while you can do this before x is up (mounting an encrypted partition) this is not an option in this scenario.
[01:10] <Guest70641> where the HECK is my XP ISO suppose to go and where is my virtual hard disk suppose to go on Virtualbox
[01:10] <xio3> yeik: if this were easy others would have done it. i have no doubts.
[01:10] <zykotick9> Guest70641: #vbox might help as well
[01:11] <tbrown2012> Will When I loaded office word it  went but my computer frezzed
[01:11] <yeik> xio3, others do it. just don't need a gui. and most that do, use windows. hence they have checkpoint, pgp, truecrypt, etc.
[01:11]  * yeik will bbl
[01:11] <xio3> yeik:  :) right. it's not an issue of automating it. it's a matter of making it easier.
[01:11] <xio3> yeik: or making it less scary.
[01:12] <scientes> xio3, dm-crypt and ecryptfs
[01:12] <scientes> ecryptfs works on top of the filesystem, dm-crypt below it
[01:12] <scientes> ecryptfs is more flexible because of this
[01:12] <xio3> scientes: have you been following along.  i'm not sure you understand the goals.
[01:13] <scientes> nope not at all
[01:13] <scientes> but those are the two real options
[01:13] <scientes> truecrypt is not recommended as it has a funny license
[01:13] <scientes> and cannot become a part of debian/ubuntu/fedora etc unless it is relicensed
[01:14] <scientes> its also kinda bloaty compared to the very good ecryptfs, etc
[01:14] <xio3> scientes: we are discussing ways to mount an encrypted root partition in x essentially. we aren't concerned about the encryption program. and i would agree with your statement on truecrypt.
[01:15] <sentriz|netbook> i did 'sudo apt-get install wine' now i have an eula with <Ok> at the bottom - how do i accept?
[01:15] <xio3> scientes: the goal is to hide which programs are installed from an adversary.
[01:15] <zykotick9> sentriz|netbook: TAB then enter i think
[01:15] <sentriz|netbook> Yes!
[01:15] <sentriz|netbook> :)
[01:15] <sentriz|netbook> thanks
[01:15] <scientes> xio3, why? that seems silly
[01:16] <xio3> scientes: the programs installed can suggest what a system is being used for. for instance at a border crossing where nobody knows what the system is used for and they are essentially going on a fishing expedition.
[01:16] <BullShark> would somebody please send me the output of apt-get build-dep --simulate aircrack-ng ?
[01:16] <BullShark> no root/sudo needed
[01:16] <jgrevich> After upgrading to precise dev branch my optical drive devices have a 1 after them (e.g. /dev/dvd -> /dev/dvd1).  How can i change that back?  I tried creating a new symlink but it was reverted after restart.
[01:17] <xio3> scientes: i'll give you a good example. there may be a set of applications one wants to make available for a particular group. if you actually installed those applications then it would give your association away with a particular group.
[01:17] <scientes> xio3, that is very silly, just use dm-crypt and be done with it
[01:17] <xio3> scientes: how would you use dm-crypt with a gui?
[01:17] <scientes> xio3, dm-crypt for the whole damn thing
[01:17] <xio3> scientes: which part is silly ?
[01:17] <scientes> xio3, that way they can only see your kernel
[01:18] <scientes> xio3, thinking about such little things as "what applications are installed" where there are so many other things to worry about
[01:18] <xio3> scientes: again; this is something targeted at users who don't know how to turn on a computer (potentially) so a command line is not acceptable.
[01:18] <scientes> xio3, but if that is what you want you could certainly do it with overlayfs
[01:18] <zykotick9> BullShark: :p (unhelpful, but what you asked for) E: Unable to find a source package for aircrack-ng
[01:18] <xio3> scientes: this is one issue. there are hundreds of other issues i have worked on and resolved.
[01:19] <scientes> xio3, or even just btrfs (but btrfsdoesn't have transparent cncryption yet)
[01:19] <xio3> scientes: lol, we were just talking about overlayfs (or aufs)
[01:19] <scientes> overlayfs with encryption for the overlayfs would work
[01:19] <BullShark> zykotick9 ☠ do you know have universe/multiverse enabled?
[01:19] <scientes> and you would get a little better speed than dm-crypt in some cases
[01:19] <xio3> scientes: again- how would you do that though?
[01:19] <zykotick9> BullShark: i'm missing source repos, thus that error
[01:19] <shape> I LOVE UBUNTU!!!! I'm not joking!! <3
[01:19] <scientes> xio3, just use the ubuntu usb stick installer, but dm-crypt the overlay filesystem
[01:19] <xio3> scientes: you need to be in x when you go to mount the encrypted partition
[01:19] <scientes> thats pretty simple
[01:20] <scientes> xio3, thats silly and doesn't work
[01:20] <BullShark> zykotick9 ☠ im using an ubuntu derivative that has no source repos available =( pisses me off
[01:20] <scientes> you have to encrypt home (at least) or you are just wasting time
[01:20] <xio3> scientes: dm-crypt with the usb installed does not give users a GUI to mount the encrypted root partition does it?
[01:20] <scientes> xio3, "mount root"
[01:21] <scientes> xio3, you dont understand what "root" means do you?
[01:21] <scientes> xio3, thats why you are very silly
[01:21] <xio3> scientes: no, i do.
[01:21] <scientes> this whole thing is very silly, just encrypt everything and be done with it
[01:21] <BullShark> would somebody please send me the output of apt-get build-dep --simulate aircrack-ng ?
[01:21] <scientes> and if someone asks for the password tell them to fuck off
[01:22] <Pici> scientes: mind the language here please.
[01:22] <scientes> put the whole system on a SD card if you are so inclined xio3
[01:22] <xio3> scientes: are you trying to drive me nuts? it isn't that simple. WHERE is the GUI in the solution you are suggesting
[01:22] <scientes> that way you can have some notion of evil maid avoidance too, with SD card booting
[01:22] <scientes> xio3, it has ZERO to do with a GUI
[01:22] <xio3> scientes: i give up. you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
[01:23] <BullShark> would somebody please send me the output of apt-get build-dep --simulate aircrack-ng ?
[01:23] <scientes> xio3, just install the whole system to a SD card, and carry around with it
[01:23] <xio3> scientes: how does that solve the problem i'm describing.
[01:23] <xio3> scientes: it doesn't.
[01:23] <scientes> xio3, what you are talking about isn't a problem
[01:23] <scientes> xio3, the problem is that you just arn't encrypting everything
[01:23] <xio3> scientes: and how would you know?
[01:23] <scientes> xio3, which is the only sane solution
[01:24] <xio3> scientes; do you even know what the problem is?
[01:24] <xio3> scientes: and simply saying it isn't a problem is not a solution.

[01:25] <scientes> thanks pangolin
[01:25] <Gallomimia> what the fuck.
[01:25] <pangolin> !language | Gallomimia
[01:25] <Gallomimia> what the firetruck!
[01:25] <scientes> Gallomimia, its a !list type script
[01:25] <mi3> hahaha
[01:25] <mi3> hi!
[01:25] <JayWalker_> Do not spam BullShark.
[01:25] <shape> he just wanted attention
[01:25] <Logan_> Please do not comment on spam.
[01:25] <Nullifi3d> fagasaurus rex
[01:26] <scientes> !language | Logan_
[01:26] <mi3> scientes, the guy got banned!
[01:26] <Gallomimia> well he got it. can i make my server floodping him now?
[01:26] <scientes> oh whoops Nullifi3d was meant for
[01:26] <Logan_> scientes: No worries. :-)
[01:26] <Nullifi3d> i love how i got kicked for no reason
[01:26] <Nullifi3d> gg niggers
[01:26] <Gallomimia> he's still in the not-server channel
[01:26] <xio3> scientes: dm-crypt may be part of the solution although normally it asks for a password in the terminal
[01:26] <rbrooks> wha
[01:26] <mi3> haha
[01:27] <scientes> xio3, thats the only sane way to do it
[01:27] <pangolin> hmm
[01:27] <xio3> scientes: tell me why is that the only way to do it. there are other ways to solve this problem because i've implemented them.
[01:28] <scientes> xio3, well its stupid to boot twice, and that seems to be what you are talking about
[01:28] <scientes> simply to have a password prompt that is pretty
[01:29] <xio3> scientes: ideally you would not need to boot twice. i agree that this is not ideal. however it does solve the problem if it worked. it does work with the right software (virtual emulation, etc)
[01:29] <xio3> scientes: we don't want to use virtual emulation though.
[01:29] <scientes> xio3, if you want pretty password, then use ecryptfs
[01:30] <scientes> xio3, and home-directory installation
[01:30] <xio3> scientes: it isn't about a "pretty password"
[01:30] <scientes> xio3, your adversion to typing in a password at a boot prompt
[01:30] <xio3> scientes: cryptfs with home directory wouldn't solve the problem of preventing an attacker from discovering which applications were installed.
[01:31] <scientes> xio3, this is all silly, because once the attacker has access to your machine you are already screwed
[01:31] <scientes> xio3, because of the evil maid attack
[01:31] <vexaxv> hey guys how do i change my default version of python
[01:32] <xio3> scientes: it isn't silly. the assumption is once your media is confiscated then all bets are off. however you still don't want the attacker to determine what is on the medium or what applications. those applications can indicate how or if to pursue you.
[01:32] <scientes> xio3, then just use dm-crypt
[01:33] <xio3> scientes: you miss the point of the exercise. how do you get  dm-crypt to work with x?
[01:33] <ruben> Hola
[01:33] <scientes> xio3, you could certainly boot twice, and use kexec to get a really cute password prompt, but that doesn't take away the fact that such an excercise is silly
[01:34] <vexaxv> does nobody know how to change the default version of python??
[01:34] <xio3> scientes: thank you. that is the answer. it doesn't matter if it is silly.
[01:35] <pangolin> scientes, are you going to offer any helpful advice or just keep reapting that you think something is silly, because I am really on the verge of removing yuo from this channel for having a bad attitude. See /msg ubottu !behelpful
[01:35] <vexaxv> >.<
[01:35] <scientes> pangolin, he just said he liked my solution
[01:35] <schultza> how do i remove old kernels from the boot menu?
[01:36] <scientes> schmidtm, precise puts it in a sub menu by default
[01:36] <pangolin> scientes, Doesn't change the fact that he had to rip it from you after you called his idea silly multiple times
[01:36] <bastidrazor> schultza: unintsall them
[01:36] <grom358> my sound has stopped working, how ideas? When I go into the pulse mixer it says I have no hardware devices
[01:36] <acicula> schultza: if you remove old kernels they will dissapear from the boot menu
[01:36] <DrManhattan> how hard is it going to be to go from 12.04 beta 2 to final?
[01:36] <bastidrazor> DrManhattan: a simple 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' will do once released
[01:36] <DrManhattan> nice.
[01:36] <pangolin> scientes, read the !guidelines and the !codeofconduct please. I am not going to give you much more latitude
[01:37] <jayar> how do i resize the screen?
[01:37] <scientes> jayar, system-settings-->display
[01:37] <xio3> pangolin: i completely understand his reasons for calling this silly.  humorous.  the attack he is referring is real.    :)
[01:37] <jayar> i mean special settings
[01:37] <vexaxv> pangolin, do u know how to change your default python?
[01:37] <jayar> i have ubuntu running with my 46" screen, but it sticks past the edges a lil on all sides
[01:37] <scientes> xio3, your best bet on prevent evil maid is to use coreboot and to insert your password to a linux kernel booted off the flash,
[01:38] <jayar> need to bring it in like a half inch all the way around
[01:38] <pangolin> vexaxv, I do not , sorry.
[01:38] <emet> did someone page me
[01:38] <Gallomimia> jayar you need to engage a feature called underscan
[01:38] <pangolin> emet, it was a nick spammer. ignore it.
[01:38] <xio3> scientes: that isn't the goal or what is being prevented against though
[01:38] <Gallomimia> emet someone paged everyone.
[01:38] <justdave> precise is failing to correctly detect the available resolutions on my TV (oneiric did correctly detect them). Any ideas?
[01:38] <scientes> xio3, but even with the biggest, 64MB/8 megabytes, you arn't going to fit in X11
[01:38] <vexaxv> pangolin, thats okay, i dont suppose u know how to uninstall something when u installed from source do you?
[01:38] <justdave> it's a Samsung TV, pangolin thinks it's a laptop display
[01:38] <grom358> cat /proc/asound/cards says I have no soundcards.. WTF.. this was working last time
[01:38] <justdave> (hardware is intel video Mac Mini)
[01:39] <jayar> Gallomimia: underscan, cool thnx. i'll look into it
[01:39] <xio3> scientes: the evil maid attack is different... slightly.
[01:39] <OEP> Hi, is it a problem if my Ubuntu 11.10 install won't update to the 3.0 kernel is this supposed to happen for some computers?
[01:40] <scientes> xio3, yeah truecrypt i guess has what you are talking about, a fully functional "dummy system"
[01:40] <xio3> scientes: truecrypt doesn't work with gnu/linux.... not the feature in question.
[01:41] <ubukou> hey all , i ve been having trouble finding how to assign mouse buttons that arent used in my mouse, it seems that compiz has a list of 20 buttons but the ones that i need arent there.. (maybe i need to map them in my xorg.conf(?)  ) any ideas ?
[01:41] <scientes> xio3, you should check out TRESOR
[01:42] <shape> Is it just me or does VLC in linux not come with the option to enable hardware acceleration? I know in windows there is a box to tick this. Do I have to install vaapi?
[01:42] <xio3> scientes: i'm familiar with it
[01:43] <ubukou> bump ?
[01:43] <OEP> shape: AFAIK, my install came with HW acceleration by default
[01:44] <xio3> scientes: i refreshed my memory kexec and i'm pretty sure it doesn't do what what we need it to do
[01:45] <aaas> anyway to share a wireless speaker with several computers..say you want a sepeaker in the bathroom that any one taking a shower can connect to and send audio from their own computer
[01:45] <shape> OEP: Can you please print screen from me and show me where that is? Because I've looked for more than 24 hours into this. And that was the conclusion I came to. When I play H.264 both my CPU cores are 100%
[01:46] <shape> OEP: And it would seem strange that vlc wouldnt implement this into linux but have it as an option in windows right out of the box. So I was wondering if I actually have to install vaapi
[01:47] <xio3> scientes:then again; maybe it does. scope: reboots from the livecd to a newly installed ubuntu system.
[01:47] <OEP> shape: Tools -> Preferences -> Video -> Accelerated video output? That what you're talking about?
[01:49] <shape> OEP: No, I'm talking about GPU acceleration.
[01:49] <shape> OEP: my processor wouldnt be working 100% if GPU acceleration was enabled.
[01:49] <petafile> Is there a way to not antialias fonts in a single app (gnome-terminal), not system wide?
[01:50] <gerzel> Flash player is switching Red/Blue on one screen but not the other.  Anyone have any ideas what's up with this?
[01:50] <scientes> xio3, kexec can load a kernel and an initrd with any command line parameters, so yes it does what you need, however some hardward doesn't work with kexec, cause it cant handle reinitilization
[01:51] <OEP> shape: Gotcha. I thought I remember seeing that option if you choose th "All" radio button on the Video screen; however I couldn't check that for you on this machine (doubt it would support it, potato chip GPU)
[01:51] <xio3> scientes: do you know of any examples/tutorials on this?
[01:52] <jgrevich> would it be considered a bug if do-release-upgrade to precise dev branch overwrites /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistend-cd.rules ?  (it causes all drives to be renamed with a 1 after them)
[01:53] <shape> OEP: I see. I'm looking into it right now. I will let you know how if I get to fix it. The only problem is h.264 being choppy which most people experience.
[01:53] <zykotick9> jgrevich: reask in #ubuntu+1
[01:54] <jgrevich> zykotick9: thanks, what is #ubuntu+1?
[01:54] <OEP> shape: Better than my setup. Currently all h.264 video for me is just green in VLC. :P
[01:54] <zykotick9> jgrevich: alpha/beta support
[01:54] <zykotick9> !precise | jgrevich
[01:54] <jgrevich> zykotick9: ah, thanks!
[01:55] <DrManhattan> does anyone know of a program that lets you use a modem as an answering machine and have custom answers for certain numbers?
[01:55] <DrManhattan> a linux equivalent of phonetrayfree
[01:55] <JonMarkGo> DrManhattan - Check out Twilio
[01:56] <DrManhattan> otherwise I am going to run a winxp VM but I would REALLY like to avoid that
[01:56] <DrManhattan> thanks jon
[01:56] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: google voice ;)
[01:56] <erpo> DrManhattan: Google voice will do that for free online.
[01:56] <DrManhattan> no
[01:56] <DrManhattan> what?
[01:56] <jgrevich> erpo: I was joking. not exactly
[01:56] <helpme111> hello
[01:56] <DrManhattan> I dont want to have it route my phone clals
[01:56] <erpo> jgrevich: I didn't see your line before I hit enter.
[01:56] <jgrevich> erpo: what if you want to do it outside of googles servers?
[01:57] <DrManhattan> I want to be able to plug in a modem and have it screen calls
[01:57] <erpo> jgrevich: No idea.
[01:57] <DrManhattan> only answer certain numbers, otherwise leave it alone
[01:57] <sinistrad> I upgraded to 11.04, and now my software raid is claiming I have degraded raid. I do have mirroring set up, but the RAID is for data, not my OS. My OS drive still won't boot correctly though. I think it is using UUID instead of /dev/sda style of addressing. Any suggestions?
[01:57] <erpo> DrManhattan: Google voice can do that.
[01:57] <erpo> DrManhattan: What is your application?
[01:57] <DrManhattan> erpo, no, I'm sorry but it cant
[01:57] <DrManhattan> erpo - my home phone line
[01:57] <DrManhattan> not an application
[01:57] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: the easiest solution is probably gvoice, but that isn't the same as what you could do through a modem.
[01:58] <DrManhattan> yeah hold on
[01:58] <JonMarkGo> Oh
[01:58] <DrManhattan> http://www.phonetray.com/phonetrayfree.htm
[01:58] <Dragonforce> someone can help-me to fix webcam problem with the cam "bison webcam m560x" ?
[01:58] <DrManhattan> a linux equivalent of that
[01:58] <teligard> What is a good text editor (gui based) that I can install.  I keep having the misfortune of dealing with wine and notepad, adn really hate it.
[01:59] <DrManhattan> gedit should be in there by default
[01:59] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: http://linuxgazette.net/120/smith.html sounds  like a start
[01:59] <sudipta> teligard:gedit is a good one
[01:59] <teligard> thank you
[01:59] <sudipta> teligard:and there is vim
[01:59] <Umo111> teligard : sublime text 2
[01:59] <teligard> I have to manually install it
[02:00] <DrManhattan> jgrevich, I'm going to bookmark that, thanks, but I was REALLY hoping for a packaged solution
[02:00] <sudipta> Umo111, yeah that 2....a minimal ide
[02:00] <teligard> will it strip out any characters from notepad?
[02:00] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: http://alpha.greenie.net/vgetty/
[02:00] <DrManhattan> I doubt it will take much overhead to run a winxp VM on vbox headless with usb passthrough using only that program
[02:00] <DrManhattan> oo vgetty is old school
[02:00] <teligard> I seem to be running into an odd issue with my fstab and mounting of shares, and think it may be related to the fstab being edited in notepad
[02:01] <scientes> teligard, yeah, you have to strip out the carriage returns and return to POSIX newlines
[02:01] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: yeah, I'm not sure how active these projects are
[02:01] <DrManhattan> its all good I'll just turn off all the services and everything in xp and take out everything with overhead and just run phonetray on it
[02:01] <teligard> scientes: how would I go about doing that?
[02:01] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: Looks like VOCP may be another option
[02:02] <DrManhattan> I bet itll still be lower overhead than what they run on the server core versions now
[02:02] <scientes> teligard, lots of ways, id use sed, but gedit can do it IIRC
[02:02] <DrManhattan> ooh thanks vocp is a step in the right direction
[02:02] <OEP> teligard: dos2unix is a command line utility which fixes Windows newlines
[02:03] <teligard> hmmm
[02:03] <teligard> I'll look up the params for that
[02:03] <DrManhattan> wtf their website is out
[02:03] <teligard> Thank you all for the reommendations
[02:04] <teligard> hopefully this will fix my wierd issues with the mounting
[02:04] <DrManhattan> well that sucks
[02:05] <DrManhattan> vocp looks even better than phonetray
[02:05] <DrManhattan> I would love that
[02:05] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: There should be other references
[02:06] <jgrevich> 9 yeas is a long time w/o a release http://freecode.com/projects/vocp
[02:06] <teligard> ugh, didn't fix it
[02:07] <sinistrad> I
[02:07] <DrManhattan> so much random, old, spammy garbage, it's like wading through that giant ball of plastic in the pacific
[02:07] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: well, that's the great thing about open source
[02:07] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: someone who cares should breath some life into the project and put it on github or the like
[02:08] <DrManhattan> jgrevich, I guess I'll have to make do with my answering machine and phonetray on a vm in the meanwhile
[02:08] <Pinkemena_D> hi, does anyone know how to bind lynx to a specific network interface or ip?
[02:08] <teligard> the fstab issue is wierd.  When I reboot, my shares appear to have mapped, and I can do whatever I need to do.  If, for whatever reason, I need to remount the shares, and I do a "mount -a", the system tells me that my /etc/fstab lines are bad, or that cifs is not supported (I've made certain tat cifs-utils is installed)
[02:08] <DrManhattan> I doubt itll burn much in the way of cpu overhead
[02:08] <jgrevich> DrManhattan: sounds like good inspiration to build something better :)
[02:08] <ubukou> I found where were the keys on my mouse i was looking for maped. Im trying to setup some of my mouse clicks to do things, like 'initiate move window' i was wondering if there is a chance to configure 2 mouse buttons to do the same thing. Not combined, each time i will be using one.
[02:08] <DrManhattan> the problem is without their site there's no docs
[02:09] <ubukou> any ideas?
[02:09] <DrManhattan> jgrevich, I hear you, if there's still vocp around anywhere and it works im all over it
[02:09] <DrManhattan> I'd love to give diff messages for each number and then go to VM
[02:09] <teligard> brb.  rebooting to see if my smbfs install fixes the issue or not
[02:10] <DrManhattan> personalized messages along with call screening
[02:10] <shape> what is the opposite command for add-apt-repository , I tried remove-apt-repository and it didnt work
[02:11] <sudipta> shape, apt-get remove
[02:11] <Daekdroom> shape, add-apt-repository --remove
[02:11] <Daekdroom> If it's a PPA, you should try installing the ppa-purge package.
[02:12] <Daekdroom> Because it'll revert the packages as well.
[02:12] <Cyberspaceloa> shape: I'd avoid guessing at commands
[02:12] <Pinkemena_D> hi, is it possible to tell lynx to use a specific networking interface, it wont conect on the right one...
[02:12] <shape> Daekdroom: Yeah it's a ppa
[02:12] <shape> and I tried that command and it tells me still that "You're about to add this ppa"
[02:12] <helpme111> i'm looking for lan statistic program that shows tcp retransmission rate
[02:12] <xangua> !ppapurge | shape Daekdroom
[02:12] <OEP> Pinkemena_D: you shouldn't have to specify a network interface for lynx to work
[02:12] <skel> Pinkemena_D: your routes aren't setup if its not using the right one
[02:13] <jayar> it just came back up, and it can see the other computers on the network, but no other computers can see it... cant even SSH into it
[02:13] <xangua> !ppa-purge | shape Daekdroom
[02:13] <Pinkemena_D> i am not trying to access the internet, i am entering a web interface for a network device
[02:13] <skel> anyone know how to make gnome3 look better then the ubuntu default?
[02:13] <NQTropic> anyone know a gui web browser the displays websites as text only?
[02:13] <shape> xangua: Thanks!
[02:13] <sudipta> skel:better as how?
[02:14] <xangua> you can install themes and icons with gnome-tweak-tool skel
[02:14] <skel> sudipta: as in, it's not a plain bar that says applications / Places.
[02:14] <jayar> NQTropic: use chrome and disable everything in options
[02:14] <skel> xangua: I'm on extensions.gnome.org and none of the extensions have the option for on/off like they do on my 11.10
[02:15] <skel> xangua: and I had to add additional ppa's to get that to happen
[02:15] <Cyberspaceloa> NQTropic: you can also use a command line based browser
[02:15] <cocolos> When I vnc into my ubuntu machine and I try to run a qt application I get:  xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
[02:15] <AcidRain2012> .
[02:15] <cocolos> any one know?
[02:15] <sudipta> skel:u dont like the unity? use gnome fallback
[02:15] <sinistrad> I'm able to boot the degraded raid array, but I'm not sure how to fix it. "mdadm --assemble --scan" didn't seem to have an effect
[02:16] <skel> sudipta: doesn't gnome-fallback make it work like gnome 2?
[02:16] <NQTropic> yer I know those options Cyberspaceloa & jayar , but was wondering if there was anything else
[02:16] <sudipta> skel:yup....if that's you want...
[02:17] <DrManhattan> if i want to install with software raid on 12.04 I have to use the alternate?
[02:18] <teligard> Well, that didn't work
[02:18] <rvb> hello, is it possible to unplug and then plug my usb gsm modem via command line?
[02:18] <Cyberspaceloa> NQTropic: sorry, I don't know of any
[02:18] <warm> Is there a way to convert .ttc  to .ttf  and how?
[02:18] <teligard> Is there a different location that ubuntu stores a shre list (like an fstab, but not fstab) that launches at boot time?
[02:18] <rvb> my problem is that the modem is on a remote location that i can't physically unplug it so i have to do it remotely, via command line if possible
[02:19] <teligard> rvb: are you ableto get into the system remotely and run at commands?
[02:20] <teligard> And to what degree are you trying to "unplug" the modem?
[02:20] <teligard> just drop the connection, or?
[02:24] <teligard> If you're simply trying to hang up, I believe there is something like Hn to hangup
[02:25] <rvb> teligard: like trying to simulate a physical unplug/unplug so that the system can re-read the modem
[02:25] <rvb> because it shows in the lsusb, trouble is with gammu (sms gateway), it can't detect it .. the only way it can is to unplug/plug the modem
[02:26] <WHAT_UP> say i have some script i want to run in a terminal on a samba server. i have nautilus open to exactly the folder containing it, but it won't allow me to double click the file to run the script. unfortunately, the "path" in nautilus starts with smb://, so it's not like i can just cd there via terminal. what do i do?
[02:31] <sacarlson> WHAT_UP you might be able to right click on the file and change properties to make the file executable, then double click it to run
[02:31] <WHAT_UP> sacarlson: tried that. apparently the fact that it's on a samba server prevents you from change permissions
[02:31] <WHAT_UP> sacarlson: which makes sense
[02:32] <sacarlson> WHAT_UP if you don't have write privs or the file is on an ntfs drive with no perms change posible then you would have to copy and paste the file to a location you can change the privs and run from there
[02:32] <DrManhattan> does ubuntu server have a pae enabled kernel available?
[02:33] <teligard> rvb: did that help any?
[02:33] <sacarlson> DrManhattan: yes
[02:33] <DrManhattan> ty
[02:35] <DrManhattan> yeah 12.04 doesn't let me partition my raid devices
[02:35] <DrManhattan> alternate
[02:36] <DrManhattan> software raid is not functioning for me on that
[02:37] <cocolos> What's an alternative to using vnc to remote desktop onto my ubuntu machine
[02:37] <bazhang> !12.04 | DrManhattan
[02:37] <DrManhattan> Yeah I hear you bazhang
[02:37] <DrManhattan> it doesn't make my butt any less hurt over the matter
[02:37] <DrManhattan> trying out server now
[02:38] <bazhang> DrManhattan, /join #ubuntu+1
[02:39] <bazhang> Oblomov ins particular
[02:39] <bazhang> minus the s
[02:39] <WHAT_UP> sacarlson: thanks
[02:39] <teligard> cocolos: FreeNX would be one
[02:40] <teligard> cocolos: another would be XDMCP
[02:40] <erpo> cocolos: ssh -X
[02:40] <cocolos> teligard: would that solve my problem of my opengl library not being incompatible with that X server
[02:40] <cocolos> erpo: tried but no luck, I am trying to run an opengl program
[02:40] <erpo> cocolos: Which program?
[02:40] <DrManhattan> bazhang, they have no love for me there.
[02:41]  * DrManhattan starts crying
[02:41] <bazhang> DrManhattan, just be patient.
[02:41] <cocolos> erpo: my own which is integrated with qt
[02:41]  * DrManhattan patiently hangs himself :)
[02:41] <cocolos> erpo: I get this error 'extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":1.0"'
[02:42] <ubukou> anyone knows how to configure two buttons on the mouse to do the same thing ? i found the line that refers to the action i want compiz to perform when pressing it.. it is "s0_initiate_button = Button12" in what syntax should i write it so that i get button 11 and button 12 to do the same action ?
[02:42]  * yeik laughs
[02:42] <teligard> cocolos: what happens if you go to a terminal screen (ctrl-alt-F1) and do sudo xinit -- :1
[02:43] <teligard> Should start an xsession that you can access by ctrl-alt-f8
[02:44] <cocolos> teligard: I get a fatal error
[02:44] <teligard> hmmm.
[02:45] <cocolos> teligard: want a screenshot of error?
[02:45] <teligard> no
[02:45] <cocolos> teligard: would I just have to use another client?
[02:46] <teligard> I'm just trying to think of what's actually causing the error.  You're running nVidia, or so I assume from the error
[02:46] <cocolos> that's correct
[02:46] <derp> Hey all, I am having some odd issues with 12.04 and I really cannot fathom what might be going on. I have an USB wifi receiver which works very well except sometimes my computer simply decides that it does not want to load webpages. I have full bars, none of the other computers in the house has this issue.
[02:46] <teligard> Have you tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers?
[02:46] <cocolos> no I have not
[02:47] <teligard> Just grasping at straws, but might want to try that
[02:47] <derp> It seems random, but I can replicate it with no problem by plugging in another USB device. Every time I plug a second USB device in, it will not load anything. It even drops local network connections.
[02:47] <cocolos> does vnc send images or does it do something fancier?
[02:48] <cocolos> teligard: could it be how I setup vncserver?
[02:48] <derp> .... but it still gives me full bars.
[02:48] <teligard> vnc sends an image, then refreshes the changed portions of the screen, if I rememer correctly, as part of it's compression scheme
[02:49] <cocolos> I find it weird that I get these errors only when I vnc and not when i am physically on the machine
[02:50] <teligard> I wouldn't think that the vncserver would be influencing the x session, but I'd be inclined to have someone else confirm that, as I'm still a bit of a newbee
[02:50] <bazhang> !12.04 | derp
[02:50] <teligard> There are alot of people in here a whole lot better versed in the workings than I am
[02:50] <sacarlson> cocolos: sounds like your app is working with video
[02:51] <bazhang> derp, /join #ubuntu+1 for that
[02:51] <cocolos> sacarlson: it's just opengl + cuda + qt
[02:52] <sgo11> hi, I can create a socks proxy server very easily with ssh. but how can I change it to https proxy? I am trying to ask android sdk manager to use my socks proxy, but unfortunately, the android sdk manger only supports https proxy. thanks.
[02:53] <Meat5hield> Hey guys, I have an ubuntu computer that is failing to boot. I get dumped to a shell after grub it, because "the disk does not exist".It may also help to mention that it tells me "Common problems:9acc45c2d21" while busy dumping me to shell. Anyone have any idea whats up
[02:53] <sgo11> http proxy is fine with me too. just want some easy configuration to map my socks proxy to http proxy. thanks.
[02:54] <ubukou> anyone knows how to configure two buttons on the mouse to do the same thing ? i found the line that refers to the action i want compiz to perform when pressing it.. it is "s0_initiate_button = Button12" in what syntax should i write it so that i get button 11 and button 12 to do the same action ?
[02:55] <cocolos> teligard: I was told that 'opengl library is incompatible with that X server'
[02:56] <cocolos> teligard: and to use something else other than vnc or fix the incompatibility….any clue?
[02:57] <teligard> cocolos: that doesn't make sense to me, as I use opengl with X server
[02:57] <SueDeNym> Quick question: I recently got a Chromebook and installed Ubuntu 11.10 on it. I would like to get the function keys working with minimal effort. Guides indicate that I should install and use "keytouch", which appears to have been deleted from the repository. Should I try to download and install it myself or am I out of luck with that approach?
[02:57] <teligard> so I don't understand the error
[02:57] <cocolos> teligard: maybe more what it says would help?
[02:58] <bazhang> SueDeNym, keytouch-editor you mean?
[02:58] <bazhang> !info keytouch-editor | SueDeNym
[02:58] <teligard> Again, I'm very much a neophyte in this, and don't want to misguide you
[02:58] <SueDeNym> keytouch-editor is still in the repository, but as best I can tell it still needs keytouch to actually work
[02:59] <bazhang> SueDeNym, installed and tried?
[02:59] <SueDeNym> yep
[02:59] <SueDeNym> it allows me to create config files
[02:59] <SueDeNym> but there's one I can download that matches my specs
[03:00] <derp> If I have two grub instances can I switch the flagging to the inactive one and delete the one that is flagged?
[03:00] <SueDeNym> but it doesn't actually make the changes
[03:00] <bazhang> derp, 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 as I've said
[03:01] <cocolos> teligard: just thought i'd show you here's the error in it's completeness http://pastebin.com/0w9u3Wi8
[03:01] <derp> bazhang: This isnt about 12.04.
[03:01] <teligard> cocolos: looking now...
[03:01] <bazhang> derp, you are using 12.04, correct?
[03:02] <derp> Nope. 10.04
[03:02] <cocolos> teligard: much appreciated
[03:02] <c4pt> http://www.ebay.com/itm/180860567966?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
[03:02] <derp> I want to get rid of the second partition and restore the space it took up on my laptop.
[03:02] <teligard> cocolos: no problem
[03:02] <bazhang> derp, you just said you were using 12.04
[03:03] <shape> What does this mean: "If you really want to compile without asm, configure with --disable-asm."
[03:03] <derp> bazhang: I have three machines in my home runing ubuntu, two run 10.04, one runs 10.04 and has a 12.04 partition on it.
[03:03] <shape> I ran the command "./configure -enable-shared"
[03:03] <sacarlson> Meat5hield: boot from another partition or a live cd and do fsck /dev/sdaX  on the drive that is having the problem or something like this http://www.ehow.com/how_6865088_fix-disk-errors-linux.html
[03:03] <teligard> cocolos:  Did you make any changes in your xconfigurator or anything?
[03:03] <teligard> Very odd error
[03:04] <cocolos> i changed the xstartup
[03:04] <teligard> cocolos: what if you change it back?
[03:04] <cocolos> teligard: essentially followed this http://bit.ly/fvbBMD
[03:05] <teligard> The errors you're having are really peculiar to me.  Seems more like a configuration issue than a conflict
[03:05] <cocolos> i see
[03:05] <sacarlson> derp: if the partition isn't used you can use disk utility to reformat the parition,  it will also enable you to umount the drive from there if needed.  be sure you don't have anything like /home mounted on it
[03:06] <teligard> Is that all you need to do is view the ubuntu desktop from windows?
[03:06] <cocolos> teligard: not sure what I added
[03:06] <Meat5hield> @sacarlson Thanks, i'll try that
[03:06] <jimmythekid> i just found a major hole that gives shell access
[03:07] <jimmythekid> bout to release a security memo on it
[03:07] <jimmythekid> may be able to maintain root
[03:07] <teligard> jimmythekid: which version?
[03:07] <bazhang> jimmythekid, how does this relate to ubuntu support
[03:08] <jimmythekid> it looks like 10+
[03:08] <jimmythekid> thought all should know
[03:08] <jimmythekid> i gotta work on it more first
[03:08] <jimmythekid> see if i can gain root through it
[03:08] <bazhang> !bug | jimmythekid
[03:08] <shape> Can someone please tell me what "./configure" does or point me to a wiki page? I've been searching with no luck
[03:09] <Petrox> Hi.
[03:09] <cocolos> teligard: from mac os x yes just gotta view and I guess remote control so I can open the program
[03:09] <bazhang> jimmythekid, file a bug, no need to talk about what might or might not be
[03:09] <jimmythekid> yea well i want every1 to know
[03:09] <Petrox> shape: ./configure is a tool, included in most source tarballs, that is for you to help compiling the software
[03:09] <bazhang> jimmythekid, its not a bug. no need to chat about it here
[03:10] <jimmythekid> umm actuallyt
[03:10] <jimmythekid> its a major bug
[03:10] <bazhang> !compile | shape
[03:10] <jimmythekid> heh
[03:10] <bazhang> !ot | jimmythekid
[03:10] <jimmythekid> its a HUGE bug
[03:10] <bazhang> jimmythekid, thats enough. stop.
[03:10] <teligard> cocolos: did you back up your .vnc folder first?
[03:10] <shape> Petrox: I tried running it and I got this: ""If you really want to compile without asm, configure with --disable-asm.""
[03:10] <Petrox> shape: it's for "detecting" the environment, which you will compile the software in
[03:10] <cocolos> teligard: nope
[03:10] <rredd4> installing a brand new ubuntu, is it possible to use the free space from the windows hd?  windows will not start up and i need some files
[03:10] <bobweaver> !cve | jimmythekid
[03:11] <cocolos> teligard: did this a while ago
[03:11] <wylde> jimmythekid: then if you were a responsible hacker you would report it properly to the right people to patch the problem before a public announcement.
[03:11] <drecute> rredd4: install wine
[03:11] <Petrox> shape: all the programs have different configure tool, so I don't know what your exact problem is. But you should check the "README" and "INSTALL" files for prerequisites (dependencies)
[03:12] <Petrox> shape: you're probably missing some packages, libs or tools
[03:12] <shape> Petrox: I see. Thanks for the link! It worked for a different program
[03:12] <Petrox> shape: maybe even a gcc
[03:12] <rredd4> drecute I don't have ubuntu installed yet, want to use the free space from the windows partition
[03:12] <shape> So it's like you said, I was probably missing some packages Petrox
[03:12] <cocolos> teligard: any ideas?
[03:12] <drecute> rredd4: yeah. go ahead
[03:13] <Petrox> shape: gl
[03:13] <drecute> but make sure the filesystem is ext3
[03:13] <shape> Petrox: Thanks! I'm actually trying to install vaapi and ffmpeg and it's giving me nightmares
[03:14] <rredd4> is there an option to use windows free space in the install?  I don't remember one
[03:14] <teligard> I'm trying to think of what might be a solution ( starting with what the original .vnc folder and xstartup contained)
[03:14] <teligard> Always good to go back to a working model, and go from there
[03:14] <Petrox> I don't know vaapi, but ffmpeg is not the easiest thing to compile, I think it has a lot of dependencies
[03:14] <Petrox> And I'm sure you can find a compiled one in some repository
[03:15] <drecute> rredd4: you will have to create the partition first
[03:15] <cocolos> teligard: not sure if it this worked before, this is the first time that I am running an opengl + qt app
[03:15] <shape> Petrox: I see. Thanks again! :)
[03:15] <drecute> do it on windows but don't format it
[03:16] <rredd4> drecute windows does not boot, at all
[03:16] <drecute> when you boot to bios, you should see the partition. select it and install ubuntu there
[03:16] <sacarlson> rredd4: if you delete the partition you want to install ubuntu on, with like fdisk or other partition tool , ubuntu will auto expect you want to install in the freespace and ask before it touches your windows partition
[03:16] <Petrox> Can someone please paste me (http://paste.ubuntu.com/) a dpkg --get-selections on a 12.04 default desktop 32bit install?
[03:16] <drecute> rredd4: insert ubuntu cd and boot with it
[03:17] <bazhang> Petrox, 12.04 is in #ubuntu+1
[03:17] <Petrox> I've just upgraded a machine, and gdm does not start, maybe I'm missing a package, and a default getselections would set me back on track
[03:17] <teligard> what happens if you uninstall vnc (sudo apt-get remove vnc4server vnc4-common vinagre vino) and remove the .vnc folder, and we try to go through the process?
[03:17] <drecute> during install, you will see the partitions including that of windows
[03:17] <teligard> are you game?
[03:17] <Petrox> bazhang: thx, sry
[03:17] <cocolos> teligard: let me give it a shot
[03:19] <rredd4> drecute there are 3 patitions on this hd, two are to small to install ubuntu onto.  the one that is big enough is the windows partition and I don't want to write over that partition, just us the unused portion of that partition
[03:19] <rredd4> maybe parted will do it
[03:20] <drecute> rredd4: go ahead
[03:21] <drecute> use the windows partition you have and it will work
[03:23] <sacarlson> drecute: sounds like rredd4 wants to keep his windows, if the 2 small partitions that are usable aren't big enuf he might have to resize his windows partition,  and better to do that it windows
[03:23] <drecute> yeah. I told him that
[03:23] <cocolos> teligard: wow…I can vnc in but it's all messed up can't see anything
[03:24] <teligard> cocolos: messed up: please explain?
[03:24] <sacarlson> drecute: you might want to try partition magic or something like that to resize the windows side.  you just need about 5 - 10 gb for ubuntu
[03:25] <drecute> rredd4: listen to sacarlson
[03:25] <rredd4> sacarlson drecute  ok, i can do that, resize partion
[03:25] <cocolos> teligard: it's just grey
[03:25] <teligard> I'd say you need to set your windows manager
[03:25] <cocolos> teligard: can't see anything from my desktop or anything
[03:26] <rredd4> sacarlson drecute I just want to keep windows partition long enough to get some files, the windows is ? out the window forever!!!
[03:26] <cocolos> teligard: my cursor is an X
[03:26] <teligard> yep: we just need to set the window manager (looking up directions now)
[03:27] <drecute> rredd4: looks like you are scared of the obvious
[03:27] <drecute> just go into computer management on windows and resize the disk
[03:27] <rredd4> drecute scarlson how small can i make the partition and still have enough room for ubuntu?
[03:28] <rredd4> drecute  windows does not work
[03:28] <teligard> cocolos: What window manager are you using normally?
[03:28] <cocolos> gnome?
[03:28] <teligard> ok
[03:28] <teligard> find in the xstartup where it says twm
[03:28] <cocolos> teligard: I can't vnc in now…I am still shed though
[03:28] <rredd4> drecute  i get the bsod
[03:28] <sacarlson> rredd4: I would recomend minimal of 4gb  but you can find smaller versions of linux to use as temp untill you have space available
[03:29] <the_real_crimper> XFS or EXT4?
[03:29] <drecute> rredd4: if you dont want to partition, get a live ubuntu cd and run it
[03:29] <rredd4> scarlson drecute  ty
[03:29] <bazhang> the_real_crimper, whats the full question
[03:30] <rredd4> drecute to slow
[03:30] <drecute> dont install it
[03:30] <rredd4> drecute would piss off my gf
[03:30] <the_real_crimper> bazhang, i'm setting up a RAID and need to decide on a filesystem
[03:30] <rredd4> lol
[03:30] <drecute> when you get to the desktop, just access you windows files
[03:30] <bazhang> the_real_crimper, then say that
[03:30] <imbezol> i'm running a classic gnome session. i have no clickable icons on the panel and i can't right click it to add anything.. what is it that's not running on the panel?
[03:31] <bazhang> imbezol, which panel is this
[03:31] <rredd4> i will have to come back to to that part drecute, its been awhile.  forgot the command
[03:31] <the_real_crimper> bazhang, your thoughts on XFS and EXT4 in a RAID setup?
[03:31] <rredd4> sacarlson drecute thanks for help
[03:31] <sacarlson> the_real_crimper: any extX will do  ext4 the default
[03:31] <drecute> the_real_crimper: if Linux has got zfs, I will recommend that
[03:32] <bazhang> imbezol, is this 11.04, 11.10 or what
[03:32] <drecute> the_real_crimper: try lvm
[03:32] <the_real_crimper> drecute, for what reason?
[03:33] <imbezol> bazhang: 11.10... http://imbezol.org/misc/gnome.png
[03:33] <drecute> the_real_crimper: what you asked for
[03:33] <the_real_crimper> drecute, i mean, what's the key feature of ZFS that makes it preferable ?
[03:33] <imbezol> bazhang: it's like a small app that's part of gnome isn't running
[03:34] <imbezol> bazhang: that area between the time and the menu on the left as well as between the time and the volume adjust on the right, is not clickable or right clickable
[03:34] <drecute> tons of features
[03:35] <drecute> replication, recovery, simplicity (no partitioning)
[03:35] <imbezol> bazhang: actually.. i can drag and drop icons on from the menu
[03:36] <drecute> i can zone entire ubuntu on solaris using zfs
[03:36] <the_real_crimper> i see
[03:37] <magn3ts> Anyone have any compact hardware NAS that allow you to install ubuntu on them??
[03:38] <xui2> if id want to unmount the root partition and then mount a different partition as root, can i do that?
[03:39] <sacarlson1> xui2: yes chroot
[03:39] <xui2> sacarlson1; and unmount the current root partition?
[03:40] <drecute> xui2: you can do that when you are in the new one
[03:40] <xui2> drecute: hmm ok going to try this
[03:40] <sacarlson1> xui2:  here's an example http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/
[03:41] <Chaosadnd1> Hi all, i was scolded earlier about still using webmin on ubuntu server 11.10 and was told to switch to zentyal, anyone have available the how to link that I cant seem to find?
[03:42] <bazhang> !ebox | Chaosadnd1
[03:42] <Chaosadnd1> There you are ubottu, thanks :)
[03:43] <Chaosadnd1> I guess my question is, can you still administer samba shares ect with zentyal? Was having trouble finding screenshots?
[03:45] <w0und> how's it going guys
[03:45] <rectec> Hi. ]
[03:46] <jesse__> i think my keyboard is messed up, how do I check that?
[03:46] <jesse__> keyboard mapping*
[03:47] <jesse__> ah nevermind, i was in japanese mode T_T
[03:48] <rectec> its all good. im busy writing my question sorry i cant help :)
[03:50] <doc|mobile> anyone know of a fix for a nvidia_96 module not found error from X? Just started a few days ago.
[03:51] <bazhang> doc|mobile, what version of ubuntu?
[03:51] <shape> I use the command locate vlc | grep bin    and it gives me  /usr/bin/vlc  . Yet I try to enter it and gives me "cd: /usr/bin/vlc: Not a directory"
[03:51] <doc|mobile> bazhang: xubuntu 11.10
[03:51] <bazhang> doc|mobile, got the bug link?
[03:51] <rectec> I've been having some big issues with Adobe Flash today. It started off by crashing during certain parts of a video, then the plugin refused to start at all, simply crashing. So I started Flash Aid and installed Flash from the repos, which didn't fix the problem. So I kept trying different flash versions with different tweaks and it didnt fix. Finally, I have ended up with this: http://imgbin.org/images/7737.jpeg . I have no idea ho
[03:51] <rectec> w to fix this. I've also been having flash issues with my other install of Ubuntu (Precise). I've tried both Gnash and Lightspark, but they do not suffice.
[03:51] <rectec> whew
[03:51] <bazhang> shape, its an app
[03:52] <rectec> i'll probably post this to the forums if i dont get help here...
[03:52] <doc|mobile> bazhang: nope, I don't know if one related actually exists. I did find https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/626974 but I'm not sure it's related
[03:52] <shape> bazhang: So is bin then its main directory? I need to know so I can recompile it
[03:52] <bazhang> shape, why would you need to compile vlc
[03:53] <shape> bazhang: I installed vaapi so I can enable GPU acceleration.
[03:53] <shape> bazhang: http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_VAAPI
[03:53] <shape> bazhang: Recompile VLC: make clean && make <<< I dont know where to use this command.
[03:53] <ludlow> whats up with apt-get update tonight?  Keeps getting stuck at release .rpg ?
[03:54] <sacarlson> shape: when you compile a custom you might put it in your local bin space so you can run eather one the new and old
[03:54] <bazhang> doc|mobile, that looks to be from Maverick; and fixed; perhaps file a new one?
[03:55] <doc|mobile> bazhang: yeah, though a note at the bottom says it has occurred again. Figured it'd be related as the dates match my issue fairly closely. Was hoping someone hear knew of a fix
[03:55] <bazhang> shape, you should read the compiling how to from the wiki we linked you earlier
[03:55] <shape> okay! thanks
[03:55] <shape> I thought I almost had it :(
[03:55] <bazhang> shape, checking for a PPA might be easier if this is very new to you
[03:56] <shape> oh I had to download the otehr stuff through PPA, but you still have to recompile VLC
[03:56] <shape> bazhang: Oh, you mean to get a VLC with VAAPI already enabled?
[03:56] <doc|mobile> bazhang: ok, this is weird. I removed nvidia-96 and nvidia-current (had re apt-get installed them) and then re-installed nvidia-current and now it's working... very weird
[03:57] <bazhang> shape, yeppers
[03:57] <bazhang> doc|mobile, that is odd. a good bug, for once
[03:58] <doc|mobile> bazhang: heh, now my fonts look grainy. sigh
[03:58] <doc|mobile> bazhang: thanks for replying at least
[03:59] <sacarlson> doc|mobile: I had the grainy font problem before with my nvidia but I can't recall what I did to fix it, good news is it is fixed so you do have hope
[04:00] <xui3> Currently I have /dev/sda1 mounted as my root (/) filesytem. I want to change this to /dev/sda2 without rebooting. I asked this question earlier and I don't think I was clear about it. Ultimatley I need to unmount /dev/sda1 after i have /dev/sda2 mounted as root (/).
[04:01] <escott> xui3, thats hard to do in general because you need every process except your own stopped
[04:01] <doc|mobile> sacarlson: heh, maaaan... :)
[04:01] <mayko> i am having horrible problems with my microphone on Lubuntu. It is extremely sporadic in picking up anything. I need my mic so I can have a telephone. I've looked through the usual results from google/ubuntu forums and can't get anywhere. my friends are telling me i should stop wasting time wiht linux. I'm getting incredibly depressed and frustrated. help?
[04:01] <xui3> escott: yea. if I drop to a shell can it be done?
[04:02] <escott> xui3, maybe im not sure. its what the initrd does, but i've never considered what happens to the initrd after the chroot
[04:02] <xui3> escott: any suggestions on what i might search for that would give me more info on how to go about it?
[04:02] <teligard> could someone look over this for me and tell me what I'm doing wrong?  http://pastebin.com/4kUTUQSc
[04:03] <escott> xui3, the problem with starting bash and then typing chroot is that isn't the chroot syscall but the chroot binary, which forks a new shell (so you have to exit twice)
[04:04] <xui3> escott: hmm
[04:05] <escott> xui3, but i would unpack the initrd (you can just gunzip it and loop mount it) and see what it does
[04:05] <sacarlson> doc|mobile: it's something like a setting for cleartype System > Preferences > Fonts > Rendering and Details...  It is the "ClearType" settings for Gnome, the default for which was not right for my monitor.  also look for anti aliasing
[04:06] <doc|mobile> sacarlson: I'm using xfce and I think I found it. Thanks!
[04:07] <sysadamin> i have a possibly silly question
[04:08] <sysadamin> when i connect to a VPN using nm-openvpn, where is the pid file writte?
[04:08] <sysadamin> its seemingly not writing a pidfile, when i would like it to
[04:09] <Sca> I'm running ubuntu 11.04.  How do I upgrade my version of Gimp (I've got 2.6.11)?
[04:09] <meet> i have got this windows based game which i want to install in lubuntu.any suggestions?
[04:10] <bazhang> !appdb | meet
[04:10] <bazhang> meet install wine, check the appdb /join #winehq for support
[04:10] <mayko> the mike is working. dunno what i did. maybe if i never touch pavucontrol again it'll be fine. fukkitall.
[04:10] <steve__> after my last update i lost video support and am a noob
[04:11] <bazhang> Sca, compile, or find a PPA, or upgrade version of ubuntu to more recent
[04:11] <meet> thanks bazhang
[04:11] <bazhang> steve__, video support for what
[04:11] <steve__> nvidia
[04:12] <bazhang> !details | steve__
[04:12] <steve__> i'm almost useless at the prompt
[04:12] <steve__> the last update about a week ago
[04:12] <Sca> bazhang, can you suggest the ppa that i need?
[04:12] <bazhang> steve__, just tell us, all on one line
[04:13] <steve__> when i rebooted it went to text
[04:13] <bazhang> Sca, search the ppa search page on launchpad yet?
[04:13] <bazhang> !addppa
[04:13] <roasted> Question - What DDNS clients do you guys use? I'm trying to find a free service that has a native linux update client.
[04:14] <osamaobama> How do I add "Desktop volume control"? It's not there any more and I don't know why or how to restore it. "System Settings > Startup Applications Preferences> [ x ] Show desktop volume control" does not help!
[04:14] <bazhang> steve__, yes, so its recovery mode? low graphics mode?
[04:14] <steve__> no just text
[04:14] <teligard> roasted: zoneedit
[04:15] <meet> osamaobama do you have the panel at top or bottom?
[04:15] <osamaobama> meet: Bottom.
[04:15] <wylde> roasted: no-ip , noip2 is in repos I believe
[04:15] <meet> right click it -> add items to panel
[04:16] <osamaobama> meet: That does not work either.
[04:16] <StepNjump_> Hi is anyone aware of a virus that was activated on 13 April Friday? A lot of my files were deleted on that date and I didn't do it.
[04:16] <osamaobama> meet: Thats the weird thing.
[04:16] <Sca> bazhang, thanks
[04:16] <meet> osamaobama: why? what happens when u right click it
[04:16] <osamaobama> meet: Nothing at all
[04:17] <osamaobama> meet: I only get options when I right click on icons
[04:17] <meet> osamaobama: what version r u using?
[04:17] <osamaobama> 11.10
[04:17] <osamaobama> meet: version 11.10
[04:17] <roasted> wylde: removed in 12.04 :(
[04:17] <roasted> wylde: thanks to debian pulling it, last I heard.
[04:18] <meet> osamaobama: i am using the same version. ok on right clicking the icons there should be a option like add/remove panel items. is it there?
[04:18] <roasted> wylde: I ran no-ip's tarball on 12.04 but it won't update... I left my rig run for 2 days and it was set for 30 min interval, no update
[04:18] <steve__> is there a command i can type to fix my video?
[04:18] <osamaobama> meet: No...
[04:18] <wylde> roasted: shame, I used it on my server. It's still 10.04 though. I don't see why the client they have wn't work still on 12.04.
[04:18] <osamaobama> meet: How do I reset my GNOME preferences?
[04:18] <bazhang> steve__, we need tons more info than "its only text"
[04:19] <osamaobama> meet: delete ~/.gnome*?
[04:19] <schultza> what is the best source control management?
[04:19] <roasted> wylde: not sure. The tarball is easy to install... make... make install... then it asks you for your acct email and pw, update interval, etc.
[04:19] <roasted> wylde: but it just aint updating here. makes me think I should take my ddns service elsewhere since Im not married to this url
[04:19] <wylde> roasted: wellt hat's a bugger. heh I'll be looking for a workaround at eol for it then. lol
[04:19] <steve__> sorry I'm sure it's a standard prompt
[04:19] <teligard> roasted:  there are scripts to update your ip
[04:19] <roasted> wylde: I might check out zoneedit that teligard recommended... haven't heard of that one.
[04:20] <roasted> teligard: scripts?
[04:20] <roasted> teligard: does it not work automatically when I put in my info?
[04:20] <wylde> roasted: neither have I. At least I have a while yet before EOL on 10.04 server, to have to worry about it :)
[04:21] <teligard> I've been using it for about 10 years now
[04:21] <teligard> Works well
[04:21] <steve__> oh I forgot to mention my display is a viewsonic that prefers 1280x1024
[04:21] <teligard> Let me see if they've made any new edits to automate the whole process.
[04:22] <wylde> teligard: yeah, I've been using no-ip that long, if not longer. At one point I even had a registered domain I managed with them. Shame their client isn't working in 12.04.
[04:22] <meet> osamaobama: using unity or gnome>
[04:23] <teligard> Wouldn't think it would be hard to tweak the code to work
[04:23] <roasted> teligard: how's this look? http://support.no-ip.com/customer/portal/articles/363278-installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client
[04:23] <roasted> looks easy enough
[04:23] <roasted> I just had no idea you had to do more with it
[04:23] <wylde> roasted: I haven't used them before but I've seen dyndns listed in harware routers, no idea what state they, or their services are in currently though.
[04:23] <steve__> isn't there some kind of configurator i can run ?
[04:24] <schultza> !vcs
[04:24] <roasted> wylde: dyndns killed their free dns.
[04:24] <roasted> wylde: as a result, dyndns is dead to me. :D
[04:24] <wylde> roasted: ahh ok, good to know.
[04:24] <roasted> wylde: I think a lot of routers banked on using dyndns because, why waste time adding anybody else if dyndns is free?
[04:24] <schultza> roasted: what do you recommend?
[04:24] <meet> osamaobama: unity does not give the option to remove or add the indicators directly i guess. u can use gnome extentions using gnome tweak or sumthng like that
[04:25] <roasted> wylde: but I've had issues with routers updating it properly anyway. some work predictably, some dont, etc. alwyas hit or miss.
[04:25] <roasted> wylde: I much prefer the installed client for the server itself.
[04:25] <wylde> roasted:  true, but at the same time I was using no-ip lol.
[04:25] <roasted> schultza: for what?
[04:25] <teligard> I was going to say that wylde is the pro with no-ip, but what you sent me seems pretty straight forward.
[04:25] <roasted> teligard: that directed at me?
[04:25] <schultza> roasted: alternative free dyndns
[04:25] <teligard> roasted: yes, sorry :-)
[04:26] <wylde> :)
[04:26] <roasted> schultza: I've used free.afraid.org. Works great but terrible documentation on getting it working. no-ip has been decent so far, but I'm a little bummed their GUI got pulled from the repos (not no-ips fault, debians fault)
[04:26] <bazhang> roasted, this is getting offtopic
[04:26] <roasted> I think debian cited old code or potential bug or something with no active maintainer, so they pulled it. jerks. <_<
[04:26] <schultza> debian's or ubuntu's?
[04:26] <roasted> bazhang: hardly, we're discussing ddns in conjunction with linux. thanks though.
[04:26] <schultza> ah
[04:27] <bazhang> !ot | roasted schultza teligard
[04:27] <roasted> schultza: yeah, it came from debian, filtered down to ubuntu, from what I heard.
[04:27] <bazhang> roasted, wrong place for it
[04:27] <roasted> bazhang: again, no issue here.
[04:27] <roasted> wylde: you use no-ip on a server or desktop?
[04:27] <bazhang> roasted, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[04:27] <wylde> roasted: 10.04.4 server
[04:27] <roasted> bazhang: we're discussing an ubuntu issue here. thanks.
[04:28] <roasted> wylde: server as in, CLI?
[04:28] <wylde> roasted: CLI
[04:28] <horusofoz> will ubuntu 12.04 support usb3 on my asus z68-m Pro mobo?
[04:28] <teligard> bazhang: my apologies
[04:28] <bazhang> horusofoz, #ubuntu+1 for that please
[04:29] <sysadamin> nobody knows how to make network-manager write a pid file when connecting to an openvpn?
[04:30] <steve__> is there a noob chanel so i won't have to bother anyone with stupid questions?
[04:30] <teligard> steve__: there are no stupid questions
[04:30] <steve__> thnx
[04:30] <paulus68> steve__: questions are never stupid in my opinion everybody has gone through this process so shoot if we can help we will do so
[04:31] <teligard> I'd say that, atleast in the linux space, there's never a point where you know everything.
[04:31] <steve__> would it be easier to go back to my last known good or redo my video?
[04:31] <wylde> teligard: well, the one not asked usally = stupid question. :)
[04:32] <teligard> wylde: good point :-)
[04:32] <PakLang> hi guys
[04:32] <PakLang> anyone using 12.04?
[04:32] <teligard> Steve__: I generally try to go back to my last known good configuration
[04:32] <Ben64> steve__: try giving more details on the problem you're having, including what happened before
[04:32] <Ben64> !precise | PakLang
[04:34] <steve__> I updated to the next version of ubuntu and when i rebooted it went to the prompt
[04:34] <teligard> steve__: I would recommend, however, laying everything out as has been mentioned, because the more the detail, the easier to debug :-)
[04:34] <PakLang> canonical is developing ubuntu phones?
[04:34] <Ben64> steve__: from which version to which version? what video card?
[04:34] <steve__> I have a dell demension 4600 with nvidia
[04:35] <steve__> version 11 i think , the one that came out about two weeks ago
[04:35] <mgeneral> Anyone hearing of random logouts/lockups/reboots/Xorg crashes in 12.04 64bit?
[04:35] <Ben64> !precise | mgeneral
[04:36] <Ben64> steve__: are there any errors when you start ubuntu?
[04:36] <mgeneral> Thank you, I'm aware it is in beta testing. I'm trying to narrow down a bug and seeing if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
[04:37] <teligard> steve__: cat /etc/*-release
[04:37] <Ben64> mgeneral: this channel is not for 12.04
[04:37] <teligard> it will give you the OS specifics
[04:37] <mgeneral> That's more helpful than your !precise | ;-)
[04:37] <steve__> not that i remember i can reboot to it and come back if it will help
[04:37] <Ben64> mgeneral: not if you read the entire message
[04:39] <steve__> before i do this how do i nshut down from text?
[04:39] <steve__> shutdown
[04:39] <teligard> steve__: I don'tthink that's necessary (probably running 11.10)
[04:39] <Ben64> steve__: poweroff
[04:40] <steve__> that sounds right
[04:40] <teligard> steve__: sudo shutdown -r now
[04:40] <teligard> for reboot
[04:40] <teligard> sudo shutdown -h now
[04:40] <teligard> to halt
[04:41] <steve__> thanx is there anything else i should check b4 i go
[04:42] <teligard> So, to the issue at hand.  You're running a Dell 4600 with an nVidia card, likely running 11.10
[04:42] <teligard> now for the problem you're experiencing
[04:42] <steve__> y
[04:42] <steve__> after my last update i lost my vid
[04:42] <teligard> If I remember correctly, you're unlable to log into X, and are being dropped directly to the shell
[04:43] <steve__> x server i think
[04:43] <teligard> correct?
[04:43] <teligard> ok
[04:43] <steve__> y
[04:43] <teligard> Did yuo make any changes to any config files (xconfig,etc)?
[04:44] <steve__> update might have
[04:44] <teligard> ok
[04:44] <wylde> !info jockey-cli
[04:45] <wylde> boo
[04:45] <teligard> Here is what I'd do: I'd try to find the system log file or x log file and review the last 50 or so lines
[04:45] <teligard> Which will probably layout the error(s) your running up against
[04:45] <steve__> isnt there a video config program i can run ?
[04:45] <teligard> wylde: do you knwothe path the the x log files?
[04:46] <steve__> n
[04:46] <wylde> /var/log/Xorg something. Moment
[04:46] <teligard> I know in older version there was xconfigurator
[04:46] <teligard> actually, xConfigurator
[04:47] <wylde> /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:47] <steve__> how do i run xConfigurator
[04:48] <teligard> steve__: sometimes it's best to review the information generated by the OS/apps, as it may clear up things without potentially causing additional issues (plus you'll be a pro in no time regarding x server :-) )
[04:48] <Ben64> the nvidia install probably didn't carry over for some reason to the new version
[04:48] <steve__> ok what do u recomend
[04:48] <Ben64> should check the X log mentioned above to see why it isn't starting first
[04:49] <LukeNukem> are all the files inside init.d
[04:49] <LukeNukem> run automatically on startup
[04:49] <steve__> how do i do that?
[04:49] <wylde> steve__:  I always had to reinstall my nvidia drivers after an update that involved a kernel update. (when I was using the drivers fron nvidia itself).
[04:49] <Ben64> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
[04:49] <teligard> steve__: cd /var/log
[04:49] <Ben64> then give us the resulting link
[04:50] <teligard> ok, thx Ben64
[04:50] <Ben64> wylde: the nvidia drivers should not be installed from the website with ubuntu
[04:50] <PakLang> any idea how to make ubuntu (using 12.04) green,save electricity/power consumption friendly?
[04:50] <steve__> it offered ver 93 the first time and another not recomended i think 117
[04:51] <wylde> Ben64: yep, I had problems after that so I just started using the ones supplied through jockey.
[04:51] <Ben64> PakLang: 12.04 support/discussion in #ubuntu+1
[04:51] <steve__> how do i fix it from the prompt?
[04:52] <teligard> Ben64: wouldn't you typically do and apt-get install nvidia-glx
[04:52] <Ben64> steve__: you should give us the log file first
[04:52] <Ben64> teligard: no
[04:52] <teligard> as su
[04:52] <PakLang> ben thanks
[04:52] <PakLang> ben64
[04:52] <steve__> ok ill be back in a few thnx again
[04:53] <teligard> steve: I think what Ben64 is getting at is that it's best to make sure of the problem before trying to fix it (like using a sledgehammer on a fly)
[04:53] <Ben64> teligard: pretty much, yeah
[04:53] <wylde> teligard: !? how'd you know I was a millwright?! lol :P
[04:53] <teligard> lol :-)
[04:56] <blithen> This is the help irc right?
[04:57] <teligard> I'm still trying to resolve my @#$% network share issues.   It's like 11.10 has two files for mapping network paths on boot
[04:57] <teligard> blithen: for ubuntu 11.10 and lower
[04:58] <blithen> I'm having network issues in 11.10. I can connect wired no problem, I'm just having PAINFULLY slow speeds. Here's my network card info: http://pastebin.com/JxkQNgtA
[04:58] <teligard> Well, I should say 11.04/LTS adn 11.10
[04:59] <wylde> teligard: oh? Ummm, I don't believe 11.04 = LTS
[04:59] <teligard> I meant 11.04, 11.04LTS and 11.10
[05:00] <teligard> shoot.  My back
[05:00] <wylde> 10.04 LTS? lol
[05:00] <teligard> bad (the idiot coming out in me.... big suprise there)
[05:00] <manjusaka> hello
[05:00] <wylde> teligard: no worries, my fingers are quite frequently illiterate. lol
[05:01] <teligard> I try to pass things off as my fingers being dyslexic, but in this case, it was simple stupidity :-)
[05:02] <wylde> :)
[05:03] <tron1984> hello!

[05:08] <gbaal> ok
[05:08] <teligard> could someone please review this (fstab) and tell me the errors of my ways?  http://past.ubuntu.com/933532     running Ubuntu 11.10.  On initial boot, the paths are mapped, however, if I have to unmount and remount, I get advised that I have errors in the fstab file.
[05:08] <tron1984> I have wime, what is aapdb
[05:09] <steve__> i learned how to shutdown and find my version but not get my log
[05:09] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org   <------ tron1984
[05:09] <tron1984> i have wine what is appdb
[05:09] <bobo37773> teligard: Wrong url
[05:09] <bazhang> tron1984, check there. then /join #winehq
[05:09] <bazhang> tron1984, I just told you
[05:09] <teligard> oops, http://paste.ubuntu.com/933532
[05:10] <teligard> Thanks bobo37773
[05:10] <schultza> !git
[05:11] <gbaal> Hi all I have an error --->http://paste.ubuntu.com/933536/
[05:11] <steve__> how do i get my log info?
[05:12] <tron1984> thanks
[05:12] <teligard> steve__: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
[05:12] <teligard> provided you have pastebinit installed
[05:12] <bobo37773> teligard: The only thing I can think of is the space after the comma on column 4. Are you sure that spaces are okay like that in fstab. Notice how "nodev,noexec,nosuid" are all in the same column? Other then that I am not sure. That thing sure is messy looking though :p
[05:13] <teligard> If you don't, install in like this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[05:14] <steve__> how do i type that bar?
[05:14] <codemaniac> hello i am having problem with the layout of a lua conky
[05:14] <teligard> shift \
[05:14] <codemaniac> it was somehow shifted
[05:15] <steve__> thnx I'll be back|
[05:15] <teligard> k
[05:15] <gbaal> I having error in Ubuntu software Center --->http://paste.ubuntu.com/933536
[05:15] <gbaal> @all hi and thanks in advance^
[05:16] <bazhang> gbaal, what does installing from the command line do
[05:17] <gbaal> bazhang,  I just install java sun  -->http://softwareinabottle.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/install-sun-jdk-6-on-ubuntu-11-10/
[05:17] <bobo37773> teligard: Yeah I think those spaces are wrong.
[05:17] <shape> How can I use the terminal to go in my hard drive? I tried cd: /dev/sdb1: Not a directory
[05:17] <goddard> does MSN not work with linked accounts?
[05:17] <bazhang> shape, to do what?
[05:17] <teligard> bobo37773: I'll update and see hat happens :-)
[05:17] <ANub> shape: u need to create a directory and then use mount command to mount it on that
[05:17] <shape> bazhang: to view the folders
[05:18] <ANub> then u can get in the drive by cd to that directory
[05:18] <shape> but it won't copy everything to that directory correct? It would just be like a virtual directory
[05:19] <bobo37773> teligard: Yeah just change "credentials=/root/.xbmc/.smbcredentials, iocharset=utf8, file_mode=0777, dir_mode=0777" to "credentials=/root/.xbmc/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777"
[05:19] <ANub> shape: u can mount the drive with "wr" option meaning writing capability
[05:19] <ANub> then u can play havoc with it...:)
[05:19] <gbaal> bazhang, i did a sudo apt-get
[05:20] <shape> ANub: but how come nautilus just mounts it when i click on it that fast and I can change files, etc. yet in the terminal I can't cd to it.
[05:21] <shape> ANub: without doing what you suggested.
[05:21] <xtreme> hy
[05:21] <xtreme> hey*
[05:21] <xtreme> well, this is a embarresing question, but do i require antivirus for linux?
[05:21] <blithen> Im using Ubuntu 11.10 and cant connect to the internet using a wired connection.
[05:21] <teligard> bobo37773: It appears to be successful :-)  It's really strange, because I had only just recently added those spaces for readability when posting into pastebin.  Oh well, as long as it works :-)  Thank you so very much!
[05:21] <labkom> gdfgd
[05:21] <labkom> 245
[05:22] <ANub> shape: yeap NAUTILUS does that....but in the background same process is executed as ive mentioned
[05:22] <blithen> @Xtreme no.
[05:22] <teligard> blithen: I thought you just said it was going very slow
[05:22] <bobo37773> teligard: Yeah no problem. A lot of programs are like that. Glad to help
[05:23] <blithen> Yeah that changed apparently. :-$
[05:23] <shape> ANub: very interesting! Thanks a lot. Do you happen to have a link where I can read about mounting HDD and messing with the files?
[05:23] <teligard> blithen: have you tried "sudo ifconfig eth0 down"  and then waiting about 15 seconds and doing "sudo ifconfig eth0 up"  (this assumes that the interface that you are referring to is the eth0 interface)
[05:23] <codemaniac> hello
[05:24] <deper29> hey, I'm having some troubles. I *think* the problem is with java, but I'm not entirely certain. I am trying to build android from source(I know, different channel, but you guys are generally smarter). the output I'm getting when I try to build is http://pastebin.com/cUs48Dtk it seems to work fine on my other machine, so I'm not to sure what I'm doing wrong :S
[05:24] <ANub> shape: u can use "man mount" command from terminal
[05:24] <teligard> blithen: also, is the interface pulling an IP and the appropriate DNS settings?
[05:24] <codemaniac> can anyone tell me where i can upload screenshots like pastebin ?
[05:24] <ANub> all the options are available there
[05:24] <foo357> Hello, how can I "recursively" sum up the size of a particular kind of file in a directory?
[05:25] <shape> ANub thanks!
[05:25] <ANub> urw
[05:25] <gbaal> hi any idea what wen't wrong ---?http://paste.ubuntu.com/933536
[05:25] <Fyodorovna> codemaniac, http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[05:25] <codemaniac> thanks Fyodorovna
[05:25] <Fyodorovna> codemaniac, np.
[05:26] <foo357> What I mean is that there is a directory with subdirectories, they contain files with a ending ".foo", how can I sum up the total size of all ".foo" files?
[05:26] <teligard> gbaal: as wth most items, this is out of my league
[05:26] <blithen> Teligard that seems to have fixed the nor connecting problem. And yes eth0 is pulling the right settings
[05:26] <teligard> gbaal: wish I could help
[05:26] <blithen> Not*
[05:26] <teligard> blithen: awesome
[05:27] <cfedde> is there some utility like keepass or passwordsafe on ubuntu?
[05:27] <blithen> Still getting slow speeds to  rhe update server though trying a different one noq.
[05:27] <bazhang> cfedde, keepassx?
[05:27] <blithen> The* now* im on my tablet lol.
[05:27] <codemaniac> http://imagebin.org/208452
[05:28] <teligard> cfedde: keepass is out for ubuntu as well
[05:28] <codemaniac> why my conky looks drifted?
[05:28] <codemaniac> any ideas
[05:28] <codemaniac> http://imagebin.org/208452
[05:28] <bobo37773> cfedde: keepassx
[05:28] <teligard> blithen: might try bringing up a browser and going out to http://speedtest.net
[05:29] <codemaniac> http://imagebin.org/208452
[05:29] <teligard> see if it's a problem with your connection speed, or the server you're trying to access
[05:29] <codemaniac> http://imagebin.org/208452
[05:29] <teligard> Those update servers can be pretty loaded down
[05:29] <cfedde> bobo37773 bazhang teligard thanks
[05:29] <codemaniac> any ideas ubuntuites?
[05:29] <bazhang> codemaniac, no need to repost that
[05:30] <deper29> anyone have any suggestions?
[05:31] <blithen> I keep having to bring it up and down to even keep a connection.
[05:31] <teligard> blithen: have you checked your cabling?
[05:32] <teligard> probably a stupid question, but thought I'd throw it out there
[05:32] <blithen> Yeah ill try restarting my router now
[05:33] <xtreme> just one question,  why we dont require av for linux?
[05:33] <xtreme> av = antivirus?
[05:33] <teligard> was going to say that the next step would be to ... bypass the router
[05:33] <cfedde> xtreme: no one seems to be targeting linux for viruses these days.
[05:33] <xtreme> everyone really hates windows
[05:34] <cfedde> windows is a bigger footprint.
[05:34] <teligard> Windows tends to be the "platform of choice" to exploitation.  The developers working on linux are much more responsive
[05:35] <teligard> xtreme: Windows has it's place, but other os's are better developed imho
[05:35] <bobo37773> The exploits are probably easier to write too.
[05:35] <cfedde> and it's easier to get admin priv on windows.
[05:35] <hateball> !ot
[05:35] <cfedde> most users run as admin.
[05:37] <ANub> ubottu: wats the difference between #ubuntu-offtopic and #defocus channels
[05:37] <teligard> blithen: how are you fairing?
[05:37] <ANub> :)........OK
[05:38] <shape> ANub: I did it, I mounted through command line, wohoo. Thanks!
[05:39] <shape> ANub: I understand now Nautilus makes that directory: "i.e. media/storage" is that correct?
[05:39] <ANub> shape:yeap
[05:39] <teligard> Well, thanks for helping me through my issues this eve, but I'm going to head off to bed.  I'll talk at you later :-)

[06:33] <savr> my gem environment is pointing to rubygems 1.8.11 and to ruby 1.9.3
[06:34] <savr> how do I point rubygems to the correct version
[06:34] <savr> update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for rubygems.
[06:35] <scientes> savr, there is a rubygems1.9.1 and rubygems1.8 in the repos
[06:35] <savr> scientes, no there isn't
[06:35] <scientes> savr, and the versions of rubygems does not track the version of ruby
[06:35] <sxlan3> how can i watch movies from ubuntu???...
[06:35] <savr> I only got rubygems at 1.8.11 and rubygems1.8
[06:36] <bazhang> sxlan3, dvd? or what
[06:36] <fidel> sxlan3: using some kind of movie-player app. there are tons available for ubunut (i.e. VLC)
[06:36] <sxlan3> online
[06:36] <scientes> savr, oh, you havn't install rubygems1.8
[06:37] <sxlan3> o mean....from cuevana.tv
[06:37] <savr> scientes, I tried it...
[06:37] <scientes> savr, it might be caused by lack of versioned depends, just type gem1.8
[06:37] <scientes> savr, or fix the link
[06:37] <bose> hello
[06:38] <scientes> savr, but you really should be using ruby 1.9
[06:38] <savr> gem1.8 is worse
[06:38] <scientes> the 1.8 series is EOL
[06:38] <savr>  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.15
[06:38] <savr>   - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]
[06:38] <FloodBot1> savr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:38] <scientes> savr, thats what you want
[06:38] <savr> scientes, I know I have nothing to do with ruby1.8
[06:38] <scientes> savr, oh, wait, the versions are just like that
[06:38] <savr> I don't want it on my system
[06:38] <scientes> savr, they are versioned seperately
[06:39] <scientes> savr, apt-get remove ruby1.8
[06:39] <savr> its been a headache trying to run 1.9
[06:39] <scientes> savr, apt-get install ruby-1.9.1-full (that IS 1.9.3, trust me)
[06:39] <_r00t_> Hi, this is strange .... can you upgrade from 11.10 to the beta via do-release-upgrade -d ? src : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta2
[06:39] <scientes> *ruby1.9.1-full
[06:40] <scientes> _r00t_, yes you can
[06:40] <savr> scientes, I have done all that. rails depends on 1.8
[06:41] <_r00t_> scientes: wow that's odd ! I'm sure you couldn't do that before ! :/
[06:41] <scientes> savr, gem install rails
[06:41] <savr> which is screwed up!
[06:41] <scientes> savr, gems are very poorely packaged, you just need to use the gem command
[06:41] <savr> ok
[06:42] <LinSkyrate>  anyone that have a Lenovo Edge E520? need pointers to get the video card running on better resolution, and sound keys on the keyboard are not working
[06:42] <savr> that should make life a lot easier
[06:42] <scientes> savr, but make sure to get rid of ruby1.8 first
[06:42] <LinSkyrate> im running kernel 3.2.6
[06:43] <bazhang> LinSkyrate, what version of ubuntu
[06:43] <savr> scientes, rials shouldn't even be packaged then
[06:43] <savr> thanks
[06:43] <scientes> savr, ruby gems package much better in debian
[06:43] <_r00t_> scientes: so once I upgrade to the beta will I be able to do-release-upgrade once 12.04 LTS goes live ?
[06:43] <scientes> !upgrades
[06:43] <bazhang> !final | _r00t_
[06:44] <scientes> bazhang, thats what i was looking for :P
[06:44] <scientes> savr, yeah ubuntu also has a broken rvm package
[06:44] <bazhang> LinSkyrate, that kernel is from where? and what version of ubuntu
[06:44] <scientes> savr, debian is currently alot more successful with gems, also fedora
[06:44] <savr> scientes, yep I complained about that yesterday and was told to go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:45] <_r00t_> ok thanks
[06:45] <LinSkyrate> bazhang, its from Backtrack 5 R2 (same in ubuntu clean install)
[06:45] <savr> scientes, java swt is also broken in ubuntu 12.4... maybe it should be 12.5 this year
[06:45] <bazhang> LinSkyrate, bt is not supported here
[06:45] <scientes> savr, the recent kernel update broke nvidia propritary
[06:46] <scientes> 3.2.0-20 +
[06:46] <scientes> 3.2.0-19 +
[06:46] <bazhang> !backtrack | LinSkyrate
[06:46] <bazhang> LinSkyrate, /join #backtrack-linux for support
[06:46] <scientes> savr, but gem1.9 itsself works
[06:47] <savr> scientes, i know right. I don't know how they plan for a LTS release in April.
[06:47] <scientes> debian and ubuntu really should become one project at some point
[06:47] <LinSkyrate> bazhang, thnx for you effort
[06:47] <scientes> savr, well, thats how they have always done it.....
[06:47] <savr> they never had so many broken packages
[06:47] <bazhang> savr, this is not the place for that
[06:48] <savr> ok
[06:48] <savr> ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
[06:48] <savr>     Permission denied - /var/lib/gems/1.9.1
[06:48] <savr> does gem 1.9 require sudo now?
[06:49] <savr> gem 1.8 would prompt for the password when it required root
[06:50] <savr> scientes, rubygems is still pointing to 1.8
[06:51] <scientes> savr, do you have gem1.9 ?
[06:51] <_r00t_> dist-upgrade is confusing :/
[06:51] <scientes> *or gem1.9.1
[06:52] <savr> yes
[06:52] <savr> and it also is pointing to 1.8
[06:52] <scientes> savr, gem1.9.1 environment
[06:52] <scientes> savr, you need to be root to install gems
[06:53] <scientes> unless you use home installtion, its a command line switch
[06:53] <savr> ok
[06:53] <savr> but it is pointing to 1.8
[06:53] <scientes> you sure, paste gem1.9.1 environment
[06:53] <The_BROS> Skype lost sound. Help me to fix it
[06:54] <scientes> cause above it looks like its point to 1.9.1
[06:55] <savr> http://pastebin.com/qnQrgiGs
[06:55] <magn3ts> Ummmm.... how do I see what the ubuntu installer is doing?
[06:55] <magn3ts> And why, oh why is it telling me 'removing conflicting operating system files'
[06:55] <magn3ts> '
[06:55] <savr> 1.9.1 is the same output
[06:55] <gh0st> CONNECT irc.freenode.net
[06:55] <magn3ts> It should have formatted the drive.
[06:55] <gh0st> oops :P
[06:55] <magn3ts> asked another way, where the heck does ubiquity log to?
[06:55] <scientes> savr, thats pointing to the right place, the version of rubygems is not the version of ruby
[06:55] <magn3ts> The built in console is a useless joke
[06:55] <scientes>   - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.3 (2011-10-30 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-linux]
[06:56] <scientes> https://rubygems.org/ <--1.8.22 is latest version
[06:57] <magn3ts> Please. Can someone tell me where ubiquity logs to?
[06:57] <The_BROS> Anybody can help me with skype sound?
[06:58] <savr> scientes, rubygems was at version 1.8.15 while I still had ruby1.8
[06:58] <savr> so its gone done some versions
[06:59] <scientes> savr, rubygems is now part of ruby1.9+ source package, so you can complain against them for a package update, but things are working fine
[06:59] <scientes> might be too late for precise however
[06:59] <savr> meh ok thanks for all your help
[06:59] <Dadanopan> is there a way to change the icons displayed in the unity launcher?
[07:00] <scientes> Dadanopan, yes, they are listed in the respective .desktop files
[07:00] <coolroot> how can i change ubuntu logo from the upper left corner?
[07:00] <savr>  gem update --system is disabled on Debian....
[07:00] <scientes> savr, and for good reason....
[07:00] <savr> don't know why they are using an older version for ruby1.9 vs 1.8
[07:00] <savr> yeah I know
[07:00] <Dadanopan> scientes, thank you, where can i find the folder?
[07:00] <scientes> savr, it probably has to do with the import mechanisms from debian
[07:01] <scientes> Dadanopan, dpkg -L packagename | grep desktop
[07:01] <steve__> I'm back but now from ubuntu thnx guys youv'e been a great help can we use a mike ad or cam with this ap?
[07:01] <savr> is unity installable on debian
[07:01] <scientes> Dadanopan, and maybe dpkg -L packagename-common | grep desktop
[07:01] <savr> sounds like maybe I should switch :/
[07:01] <Dadanopan> scientes, i'll try it
[07:01] <scientes> savr, it would probably install cleanly, its just a compiz plugin
[07:02] <scientes> savr, you could also download and install rvm
[07:02] <savr> yeah I can also go to linux from scratch or slackware
[07:02] <scientes> well thats the mess that is ruby packaging
[07:03] <scientes> there is also debgem
[07:03] <scientes> never have used it however
[07:03] <scientes> fedora has a hot script to convert gems to rpms, and there is something like it for debs
[07:03] <savr> its nice to have ubuntu  keep you lazy
[07:03] <scientes> savr, http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/gem2deb
[07:03] <syddraf> Has anyone had any success in setting up a PS3 Media Server on Ubuntu?
[07:04] <scientes> savr, but really, if you use ruby, you have to use gems, there is no way around it ATM
[07:04] <_genuser_> hello people.
[07:04] <_genuser_> This program is not developed anymore and is only provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead (see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes).
[07:04] <_genuser_> that's the output of ffmpeg on ubuntu.
[07:04] <scientes> _genuser_, what were you trying to do?
[07:05] <_genuser_> that's a warning on ffmpeg. is it just the ubuntu version that changed to avconv? or is it the actual software?
[07:05] <scientes> _genuser_, avconf is in libav-tools
[07:05] <scientes> _genuser_, its most likely upstream ffmpeg, or at the least debian, highly doubt ubuntu would do that
[07:05] <_genuser_> scientes: oh interesting.
[07:06] <_genuser_> the ffmpeg main page doesn't say anything tho.
[07:06] <coolroot> anyone? i want to change my ubuntu logon from the upper left corner to somethin hehe
[07:06] <scientes> _genuser_, but that is just for a specific functionality you are trying to use
[07:06] <scientes> _genuser_, and it could be ffmpeg calling some other program that is spitting out that warning
[07:07] <scientes> http://libav.org/
[07:07] <DrManhattan> has anyone here installed v4l-dvb?
[07:07] <scientes> _genuser_, libav is a ffmpeg thing
[07:07] <steve__> any info on the mike and or cam?
[07:07] <scientes> as you can tell by the similar web design
[07:07] <DrManhattan> I need to get a v4l2 interface for my dvb device
[07:07] <_genuser_> scientes: hmm, I just typed in ffmpeg <enter>. but as long as the program keeps development.... :)
[07:08] <azertyu> hello there
[07:09] <scientes> _genuser_, "FFmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec - the leading audio/video codec library. See the documentation for a complete feature list and the Changelog for recent changes. "
[07:09] <scientes> _genuser_, i think they just want you to use the other command name
[07:10] <_genuser_> #ffmpeg says that ubuntu uses a fork that is renamed avconv. but the main app is still in dev.
[07:10] <scientes> ahh, wow then its a ubuntu thing
[07:10] <scientes> wow
[07:10] <Dadanopan> scientes, i've found the folder and changed the icon, should i logout and restart my session, becouse the icon didn't changed in the launcher.
[07:10] <scientes> Dadanopan, yeah you have to log out and in
[07:10] <Dadanopan> ok, thank u so much :)
[07:10] <scientes> Dadanopan, or do whatevertheycallthedipsplaymanagetnow --replace
[07:11] <scientes> its alt-f2 "r" in gnome-shell
[07:11] <kiama2005> Ubuntu 11.10 does not recognise the floppy drive any idea's
[07:11] <scientes> klaas, did it work previously? (have you plugged it in correctly, and correctly configured it in the BIOS)
[07:12] <Dadanopan> yes, but here in unity alt+f2 "r" dont work, i'll give it a try by log ou, and in. the icon already changed in the dash
[07:12] <kiama2005> Yes it did.
[07:13] <steve__> can we use a mike and cam in xchat?
[07:13] <scientes> steve__, no, IRC is a 25 year old protocol with no audio or video support
[07:13] <azertyu> i just reboot my machine , now i got a black screen where it written grub
[07:13] <scientes> steve__, but it has been used for file sharing with the DCC SEND feature
[07:14] <azertyu> something like that grub>   i don't know what i have to do ?
[07:14] <steve__> is there another program that does?
[07:14] <scientes> kiama2005, it worked in ubuntu too? (im not sure the device name, but i would suspect you have to manually mount)
[07:14] <coolroot> skype ym msn
[07:14] <coolroot> irc is a text-based chat
[07:14] <scientes> steve__, empathy, which is installed by default, and ekiga
[07:15] <coolroot> that makes it awesome!
[07:15] <scientes> steve__, empathy will work with Google Talk
[07:15] <Dadanopan> scientes, thank u it works :)
[07:15] <scientes> (which is also voice/video)
[07:15] <steve__> ok thnx
[07:16] <azertyu> anyone there ?
[07:16] <azertyu> i just reboot my machine , now i got a black screen where it written grub
[07:16] <azertyu> something like that grub>   i don't know what i have to do ?
[07:16] <scientes> Dadanopan, if you dont have root you can also use ~/.local/share/applications (not sure about last folder name)
[07:16] <scientes> azertyu, are you getting to initrd prompt?
[07:16] <kiama2005> Scientes How do I do that?  No mount  menu.
[07:17] <azertyu> i think the grub prompt
[07:17] <azertyu> scientes:
[07:17] <Dadanopan> scientes, ok i'll also try that but it works when i open nautilus with root
[07:17] <scientes> kiama2005, mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
[07:18] <scientes> kiama2005, you might need mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
[07:18] <scientes> and that is for the A: floppy, /dev/fd1 is the B: floppy
[07:19] <scientes> Dadanopan, opening gui apps as root is risky, i recommend using nano to edit as root, there is alot less complexity and possibility for error
[07:20] <kiama2005> Scientes I will try both your suggestions  Thanks.
[07:21] <azertyu> anyone ?
[07:21] <scientes> azertyu, do you get an error from grub? like "root device not found"
[07:23] <codemaniac> hello how can i remove the upper panel in ubuntu 11.10 , i am using gnome classic
[07:23] <azertyu> n o error
[07:23] <scientes> azertyu, and you might also ask in #grub
[07:23] <scientes> azertyu, try holding shift while it boots, to get a kernel menu
[07:23] <codemaniac> the upper panel consists file edit view etc
[07:24] <azertyu> ok
[07:24] <codemaniac> hello how can i remove the upper panel in ubuntu 11.10 , i am using gnome classic nick
[07:32] <magn3ts> Can anyone please tell me where in this green planet ubiquity logs to?
[07:36] <magn3ts> this is just lies: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity
[07:36] <magn3ts> the files there either don't exist or contain nothing to do with ubiquity.
[07:45] <az3r> ؟
[07:45] <az3r> ممم في حدا بحكي عربي هون
[07:45] <az3r> :(
[07:50] <xharx__> when i try to use the update manager i get the following errors: http://pastebin.com/B48n9ekW. What can I do?
[07:52] <Wildbat> is there a free app that can ocr scaned multipages PDF files?
[07:52] <deper29> hey, I am having trouble with a library thing. I am getting this error: jar: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:52] <deper29> anyone know what that could be?
[07:52] <deper29> running 10.04 64 bit
[07:53] <matanya> xharx__: http://en.newinstance.it/2009/06/22/the-following-signatures-were-invalid-badsig-40976eaf437d05b5-ubuntu-archive-automatic-signing-key/
[07:54] <matanya> Wildbat: did you try gocr?
[07:55] <torpor> hi
[07:55] <torpor> can someone tell me why my fresh ubuntu 12.04 (32bit) install only sees 2gigs of the 8gigs of RAM in my PC?
[07:56] <matanya> yes
[07:56] <torpor> at BIOS boot the PC reports 8gigs, but 'free' within the booted system shows only 2gigs.
[07:56] <Wildbat> matanya, nope will do now :>
[07:56] <matanya> you are using 32 bit
[07:56] <torpor> yeah but isn't it possible to tell 32-bit kernel to use all 8-gigs of RAM?
[07:56] <matanya> torpor: 32bit can see up to ~3.5 gig
[07:56] <matanya> torpor: not a trivial way
[07:57] <xharx__> thx
[07:57] <torpor> ok so i have to switch to 64-bit .. drats.  i thought there was some trick with PAE that would sort it.
[07:57] <matanya> go with 64bit
[07:57] <DJones> torpor: You're probably better asking in #ubuntu+1 which is the support channel for 12.04 until its released, there may be a known bug that the people testing it will know about
[07:57] <torpor> DJones: thanks, will do
[07:57] <matanya> I doubt you get a better answer
[07:58] <torpor> i really thought it was possible to address more ram with 32-bit linux
[07:58] <matanya> it is, just not easily
[07:59] <matanya> better with a native 64bit syytem
[07:59] <matanya> *system
[08:00] <JohnnyricoMC> Performance-wise it's also better to use 64bit than to mess around with physical address extension
[08:01] <JohnnyricoMC> and more complex calculations (read: calculations with greater values) can be done in 64bit than in 32-bit, which means a theoretical performance boost.
[08:04] <pirx> hello! does anyone use a keylogger? i trioed "logkeys" from apt, but it just refuses to write anything to any logfile
[08:04] <Wildbat> matanya, no luck
[08:04] <pirx> i want to see how many times a day i write "ssh", hehe
[08:06] <matanya> Wildbat: last try - Tesseract
[08:06] <torpor> pirx: history | grep ssh
[08:07] <monadist> once you've searched something in vim.. say [esc] /searchthisword
[08:07] <monadist> how do you unhilight the matches after you're done
[08:07] <monadist> the hilight still shows for me even after i exit command mode
[08:08] <torpor> monadist: /sdofawefa
[08:08] <monadist> torpor, haha! that was clever :)
[08:08] <torpor> ;)
[08:12] <psypher246> hello all. I'm trying to get a 32bit version of Chromium and java to work on a 64bit system. I have downloaded chromium from http://www.chromium.org and java 7 32 bit and unzipped. Al per several instructions I found online the standard is to symlink libnpjp2.so to the /usr/lib32/chromium-browser/plugins/ folder. that did not work. I have also tried to symlink it to the /opt/google/chrome/plugins/ as well and have also tried the --enable-extensions
[08:12] <psypher246> switch when running the ./chrome-wrapper binary. any ideas?
[08:12] <FloodBot1> psypher246: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:12] <torpor> df -h
[08:13] <pirx> torpor: the history doesnt work for 2 reasons unfortunately. 1(no date/time) 2(a shell doesnt write to the history file until it exits)
[08:13] <matanya> psypher246: why use 32bit?
[08:14] <jacquesdupontd> hi everyone
[08:15] <matanya> pirx: add to .bashrc: export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "
[08:15] <matanya> this will solve problem 1
[08:15] <psypher246> matanya: cos I have several java apps that dfon't work on 64bit java and linux
[08:15] <matanya> hmm
[08:16] <matanya> I really hate mixed 32/64 system
[08:16] <matanya> sorry, don't know.
[08:16] <jacquesdupontd> I am receiving Internet via a desktop computer composed of 2 wifi card wlan0 (receiver) and wlan1 (broadcaster if possible) , i know how to share my connection over an ad hoc network created on wlan1 but as most of smartphones are not detecting Ad-hoc networks i would like to create an virtual Infrastructure mode network as you can do it with only 1 card in winshit seven with a soft named virtual router that creates a virtual
[08:16] <jacquesdupontd> share it via an Infrastructure network
[08:17] <psypher246> matanya: yeah, but i'd rather that than having to run a VM just to connect to a vpn and then have no access to my real desktop anyway
[08:17] <jacquesdupontd> Anyone who knows how to do it in a very simple way ?
[08:18] <Xtreme> guys, where can i get list of repositories for apt-get?
[08:18] <psypher246> jacquesdupontd: have u tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[08:18] <Xtreme> i want to install new version of apache
[08:18] <matanya> psypher246: I do have access to the real desktop, but well, there probably a way I'm not aware of
[08:18] <jacquesdupontd> yes Xtreme
[08:18] <jacquesdupontd> it talks about how to share connection via ad-hoc networks
[08:19] <Xtreme> jacquesdupontd: huh?
[08:20] <matanya> Xtreme: what sort of list?
[08:20] <psypher246> matanya: I have been suffreing with this issue for 3 years now, constantly hacking things to work. using a 32bit browser binary and linkiing 32bit java to it is the most simple stable way to do it. I am currently using swiftfox but that stops me from using 64firefox at the same time. I never use chromium soMi thought it could work that way too. Chromium just doesn't want to pick up my plugin
[08:20] <Xtreme> apt-get repo list.. to install from multiple servrs
[08:22] <matanya> /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[08:22] <Xtreme> yes
[08:22] <Xtreme> thank you
[08:22] <elky> Er, i've bumped a key combination and it's put numbers on all the unity icons and made the dock stop hiding. How to undo?
[08:22] <jacquesdupontd> Xtreme i would like , if possible a simple interface creating or managing an Wifi Sharing Infrastrucure mode network to share it with one of my card , thing is i had checked on internet and begun removing network manager to download wicd then i also tried hostapd but no real result , i don't know where it fails
[08:23] <jacquesdupontd> ics service is failing to start
[08:23] <psypher246> elky: hit super a cuple of times, try also super+w, that sometimes dislodges it
[08:24] <elky> psypher246, yay thanks
[08:25] <psypher246> elky: annnoying stupid huh? but it's better in precise so far
[08:25] <Xtreme> there is something else for ics,, u need to set forward in iptables
[08:25] <elky> psypher246, looks like it's kind of intentional but poorly thought out
[08:26] <elky> psypher246, i'm on precise, forgot about that when i asked here :3
[08:26] <Xtreme> i dont know exactly
[08:26] <Xtreme> but i will get back to u
[08:26] <psypher246> elky: oh. ok yeah i get it sometimes. I don;'t think it's intentional
[08:27] <pirx> matanya: also, i have my history set to noclobber (no duplicates), so 2 problems remain:) i need a keylogger
[08:27] <elky> psypher246, seems to be toggled with super+w, can reliably make it happen
[08:28] <psypher246> just tried it a coupel of times, not happening my side, what GFX driver u using?\
[08:28] <matanya> pirx: so disable it for a day
[08:30] <_r00t_> Hi chaps, does anyone know what is the name of the script that runs when you ssh to ubuntu that gives you the number of updates/security updates ?
[08:31] <jacquesdupontd> Ok i'm gonna try to test to share Wifi in Infrastructure mode via Firestarter and Dhcp3
[08:31] <Waraudon> A samba server on Ubuntu, with a share having guest ok enabled, and read only disabled. It's possible to browse the contents of the share from another machine, but not actually read any files?
[08:32] <Waraudon> Is SELinux enabled by default in any edition of Ubuntu?
[08:33] <matanya> Waraudon:  read disabled mean can't browse
[08:33] <Jordan_U> Waraudon: No. Ubuntu uses Apparmor rather than SELinux.
[08:35] <Waraudon> matanya: "read only" is set to "no", but "guest ok" is set to "yes", should that not allow read and write access?
[08:35] <matanya> if read is set to no, files can't e shown
[08:35] <matanya> *be
[08:36] <Waraudon> The thing is that the files can be browsed
[08:36] <Waraudon> but not accessed
[08:36] <_r00t_> ladies and gentlemen ?
[08:36] <_r00t_> Does anyone know what is the name of the script that runs when you ssh to ubuntu that gives you the number of updates/security updates ?
[08:36] <matanya> it doesn't work that way
[08:36] <Waraudon> That's what I don't understand. The share can be browsed, but any attempts to open a file from the share or otherwise access it results in an Access Denied error.
[08:37] <Ben64> _r00t_: the stuff is in /etc/update-motd.d/
[08:37] <matanya> Waraudon: a file has rwx permission, yes?
[08:37] <matanya> if it lack the r permission, you can't open it
[08:38] <_r00t_> thanks Ben64
[08:38] <matanya> you must have read permission to read files
[08:38] <Waraudon> matanya: Since "guest ok" is enabled, I assume the file must have the read permission globally?
[08:39] <matanya> no, I just allows guest to log in
[08:39] <matanya> you need to implicit the permission you want
[08:39] <matanya> *it just
[08:40] <Waraudon> matanya: What user would be accessing the files if the login is "guest"?
[08:40] <matanya> depends on the file permission
[08:41] <matanya> what is the file permission?
[08:44] <zakidine> Hi anyone to help?

[08:46] <alvesjnr> hi all. which is the simple image visualizer on ubuntu, which I can call by command line?
[08:47] <michael_mbp> utterly strange, just created a .ssh folder inside user directly and added authorized_keys2 with my public key details, however, I cannot login with public keys, ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid.  I've even checked the sshd_config for RSAAuthentication yes, PubkeyAuthentication yes
[08:47] <matanya> michael_mbp: on server side?
[08:48] <fred-fri> the evolution version in synaptic is old
[08:48] <llutz_> michael_mbp: try renaming the file into "authorized_keys"
[08:48] <michael_mbp> tried that too
[08:48] <michael_mbp> matanya: aye
[08:48] <kim_> hi
[08:48] <kim_> I have problems with the new intalltion of xubuntu 12.04, the CPU-Temp is too high,... 58° but there is no cpu load over 2% (htop)
[08:49] <zakidine> matanya,  oh thanks, sorry okay, i changed the "country" in the update server config
[08:49] <llutz_> michael_mbp:checked permissions/ownership of .ssh and contents? should be 700/600

[08:49] <zakidine> i tryed to update it but it didnt work
[08:49] <michael_mbp> they are
[08:49] <kim_> echo -e '\x6d\x6f\x6f' | xargs apt-get , did not help,.. :(, any idea how to solve this prob ?
[08:49] <llutz_> michael_mbp: use "ssh -vvv user@host" to get more verbose errors
[08:49] <zakidine> i had "Morocco" as server, now yesterday i chosed France
[08:49] <matanya> zakidine:  what was the error?
[08:50] <zakidine> guess that's why :(
[08:50] <michael_mbp> ah good idea
[08:50] <zakidine> i dont know
[08:50] <matanya> zakidine: no output?
[08:51] <michael_mbp> debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply  --> debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
[08:51] <michael_mbp> hmm
[08:51] <zakidine> output?
[08:51] <Waraudon> matanya: I don't have access to the machine, but I know the files were created with whatever default permissions user files are created with in Ubuntu. Presumably no read access to other users
[08:52] <bluek> hi,every one...i want to update qt4 version to 4:4.7.0,my system versison is 10.04,i can't ,help me..
[08:52] <michael_mbp> seems it can't do DSA

[08:53] <matanya> zakidine: run in terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgarde and paste the output to ubuntu pastebin (see topic)
[08:53] <coolroot> how can i reinstall compiz fusion thru terminal? what's the command? it seems my old compiz fusion won't start runnin when i'll click it

[08:53] <zakidine> what topic :(
[08:54] <dalek_> hey is anyone here familiar with using empathy to chat between ubuntu computers on a local LAN through the "people nearby" account? I am having problems with connections between clients breaking.
[08:54] <michael_mbp> it tries id_rsa
[08:54] <matanya> zakidine: typo /topic
[08:54] <michael_mbp> which I don't have as my key is rsa
[08:54] <michael_mbp> 
[08:54] <michael_mbp> *my key is dsa
[08:54] <llutz_> michael_mbp: ssh -i yourkeyfile user@host
[08:54] <michael_mbp> Offering DSA public key: /Users/me/.ssh/id_dsa
[08:54] <michael_mbp> kk
[08:55] <michael_mbp> doesn't seem like it's accepting the dsa
[08:55] <matanya> why not use RSA?
[08:56] <michael_mbp> been using DSA without any issues before
[08:57] <_r00t_> Anyone know how to find out how many times a machine has been upgraded ? I'm looking in /var/log/dist-upgrade
[08:57] <_r00t_> for clues
[08:57] <matanya> michael_mbp: RSA is stronger
[08:57] <michael_mbp> http://askubuntu.com/questions/92898/ssh-not-accepting-public-key
[08:57] <michael_mbp> matanya: thanks, noted for future ref
[08:58] <jrib> michael_mbp: do you have encrypted homes enabled on the server?
[08:58] <michael_mbp> how can I check for it?
[08:58] <dalek_> Is empathy-chat version 3.2.0.1 in Ubuntu 11.10 NOT compatible with empathy-chat version 2.34.0 in Ubuntu 11.04?
[08:58] <michael_mbp> from cli, as I didn't install the os.
[08:58] <michael_mbp> you might be onto something...
[08:59] <jrib> michael_mbp: check for some .ecrypt* in /home or your $HOME
[08:59] <jrib> I forget how it works currently -_-
[08:59] <michael_mbp> hmm nothing of the sort in /home
[08:59] <michael_mbp> you don't mean ~ right?
[09:00] <jrib> michael_mbp: check both...
[09:00] <michael_mbp> did nothing there
[09:00] <jrib> michael_mbp: is ecryptfs-utils not installed?
[09:00] <michael_mbp> nope
[09:01] <jrib> michael_mbp: then it's not the issue.
[09:01] <michael_mbp> doesn't look like it's crypted
[09:01] <jrib> michael_mbp: are you sure you copied your pubkey correctly?
[09:01] <michael_mbp> yes
[09:01] <_r00t_> come on ubuntu superstars :)
[09:02] <_r00t_> Anyone know how to find out how many times a machine has been upgraded ? I'm looking in /var/log/dist-upgrade
[09:02] <llutz_> michael_mbp: did the account work with dsa-key before?
[09:02] <compdoc> _r00t_, upgraded or updated?
[09:02] <michael_mbp> first time I'm trying this on a new server
[09:02] <jrib> _r00t_: count the number of releases since it was installed?
[09:02] <compdoc> updating happens daily
[09:02] <compdoc> alomost
[09:03] <mathews> I installed kubuntu-desktop on my ubutnu 11.04 system and tried to remove it but it still not removed.I removed all kubuntu threads from synaptic and by the purge command in terminal too.But it still there!
[09:03] <_r00t_> compdoc: upgraded ... like do-release-upgrade
[09:03] <jrib> michael_mbp: pastebin: ls -ld ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[09:03] <_r00t_> jrib: interesting - how do I do that ?
[09:03] <jrib> michael_mbp: (on the server)
[09:03] <jrib> _r00t_: what version was originaly installed?
[09:03] <serard> hello al
[09:04] <serard> on my ubuntu 11.10 the left bar is disappearing. how can I make it stay ?
[09:04] <mathews> I installed kubuntu-desktop on my ubutnu 11.04 system and tried to remove it but it still not removed.I removed all kubuntu threads from synaptic and by the purge command in terminal too.But it still there! Any idea to remove it?
[09:04] <michael_mbp> looks fine jrib
[09:04] <llutz_> michael_mbp: /etc/ssh/*host_dsa*   does exist on server?
[09:04] <jrib> michael_mbp: pastebin...
[09:04] <_r00t_> jrib: that's the question :) I don't really know, for one of my machines it looks like 10.10 but the other one has been upgraded many time possibily all the way from edgy days
[09:05] <mathews> serard, it is the unity launcher and it disappear when u point the mouse there
[09:05] <michael_mbp> ssh_host_dsa_key
[09:05] <michael_mbp> its there
[09:06] <_r00t_> the best I can come up with is : find /var/log/dist-upgrade -type f | xargs grep -i 'DEBUG lsb-release' .... surely there's a better way ?
[09:06] <mathews> serard, it is the unity launcher and it appear when u point the mouse there
[09:06] <michael_mbp> let me try a RSA key
[09:06] <compdoc> _r00t_, how about .bash_history?
[09:07] <_r00t_> compdoc: no that's no good mate
[09:08] <michael_mbp> ahhh !!!!
[09:08] <michael_mbp> my fault
[09:08] <michael_mbp> duh..
[09:08] <_r00t_> find /var/log/dist-upgrade -type f | xargs grep -i 'DEBUG lsb-release' << actually I can live with this as it shows the number of times an upgrade has been requested
[09:08] <llutz_> _r00t_: just "grep -ri 'DEBUG lsb-release' /var/log/dist-upgrade/*"
[09:09] <_r00t_> llutz_: yep
[09:09] <jrib> michael_mbp: what was wrong?
[09:09] <michael_mbp> good ol' vi to the rescue
[09:10] <michael_mbp> nano was pasting it in strange
[09:10] <jrib> michael_mbp: in the future just use ssh-copy-id
[09:10] <_r00t_> michael_mbp: nice ! vi or vim FTW
[09:10] <michael_mbp> yeah
[09:10] <michael_mbp> thanks

[09:17] <mehul> yeah i installed restriced drives
[09:17] <mehul> drivers
[09:18] <mathews> mehul, moreover try the mouse from the preference menu and configure it
[09:19] <mehul> does ubuntu require login/out or restart after changing any configs like windows does?

[09:28] <Codesleuth> solved*

[10:59] <ActionPa1snip> xr00t: if you are compiling, install build-essential
[10:59] <rocket16> Hey guys, I can't get Jamendo or Magnature show up on my rhythmbox. :( It's version 2.95, and even the plugins are not shown in the menu
[11:03] <xr00t> can i use adobe photoshop cs 5 with wine in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[11:04] <deper29> how could I include the FUSE module in a kernel?
[11:05] <Kartagis> xr00t: in theory you can
[11:06] <BenHur> !release
[11:06] <Kartagis> deper29: re-compile
[11:06] <geirha> xr00t: #winehq should be better equipped to answer that.
[11:07] <deper29> Kartagis, I kind of know that. I'm new to kernel building a bit. I'm wanting to compile it on machine A but install it on machine B
[11:07] <Kartagis> deper29: are the architectures same?
[11:07] <deper29> now, do I have to download FUSE? because that would put it into machine A would it not? when I want to include the module on machine B's kernel
[11:08] <deper29> different architecture
[11:08] <ActionPa1snip> !appdb | xr00t
[11:08] <xr00t> tnx all
[11:09] <Kartagis> deper29: it's trivial, but you might be able to compile for multiple architectures
[11:09] <BenHur> is it advisable to give ubuntu 12.04 to a linux-newbie as soon as it is released? or better play it save, install 11.10 and have some progs to be at a lower version?
[11:09] <Kartagis> BenHur: imo, latter
[11:10] <deper29> Kartagis, I'm trying to compile kernel for my phone. I'm in the make menuconfig right now, but not sure where I could enable FUSE module if it's in here, or if I'd have to download it and put it in here somehow
[11:10] <BenHur> Kartagis, i thought i might wait a month or two and then just update the 11.10
[11:11] <jrib> BenHur: I'd suggest 12.04: LTS and unity was 6 months younger in 11.10 :)
[11:11] <mathews> BenHur, newer release has always buggy and it requires repairs.so better to stay away for a while and enter
[11:12] <Kartagis> deper29: you don't need to download FUSE afaik
[11:13] <ActionPa1snip> BenHur: I'd say it was pretty stable, there will be niggles immediately after release though.
[11:13] <deper29> Kartagis, so I should just be able to include it in the menuconfig?
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> BenHur  as soon as I get Multysystem to work, I will install 12.04
[11:14] <Kartagis> deper29: yea, take a look at the initial file, that should tell you where to enable FUSE
[11:14] <BenHur> Kartagis, jrib mathews ActionPa1snip , thank you all... think i'll install 11.10 and upgrade to 12.04 after some weeks
[11:15] <jrib> BenHur: right, if you want to install something now, 12.04 hasn't been released yet so I would go with 11.10
[11:16] <BenHur> oh, speaking of upgrade... is there anything that would keep me from upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 straight? i have a 10.04 system and i'm not sure if i can skip 11.10
[11:16] <BenHur> !verison
[11:16] <BenHur> !version
[11:16] <ActionPa1snip> BenHur: LTS to LTS upgrades are fully supported
[11:16] <jrib> BenHur: upgrading between LTS releases directly IS supported; you can go from 10.04 to 12.04 directly
[11:17] <deper29> Kartagis, how do I look at the initial file?
[11:17] <sacarlson> with a mini.iso install of ubuntu 10.04 I got the following error: ” no kernel modules were found….” but i continue the installation and i got the following: 2. “no disk drive was detected…..”.  is there any work around for this?
[11:17] <BenHur> ActionPa1snip, jrib nice :D
[11:18] <Kartagis> deper29: go into menuconfig, then save & exit. that should write a file which you can use less(1) on
[11:18] <deper29> and so just search for FUSE when I less?
[11:20] <serialk> hello, i've got a problem since I tried to upgrade to 11.10
[11:20] <Xut-G> Salut all
[11:21] <Atlantic777> I have a init script in /etc/init/ for redmine and I can use it as "service redmine start" but how to add it to startup with update-rc.d? update-rc.d looks in /etc/init.d/ and there is different kind of scripts.
[11:21] <serialk> my X server doesn't start
[11:21] <serialk> when I try to startx it says 'module nvidia_current_updates not found'
[11:21] <serialk> and 'no screens found'
[11:22] <serialk> It works when I remove my xorg.conf but without the drivers, and when I try to do nvidia-xconfig i have the same problem
[11:23] <ActionPa1snip> serialk: how did you install the driver and what nvidia chip are you using?
[11:24] <serialk> I installed it a loooong time ago, it happend when I did the upgrade
[11:24] <deper29> Kartagis, thanks a bunch! got it, just compiling now :)
[11:24] <_r00t_> great.... do-release-upgrade failed on me
[11:24] <_r00t_> do not reboot
[11:25] <serialk> GT216
[11:25] <ActionPa1snip> serialk: did you upgrade in the same release, or to the next release?
[11:25] <serialk> to the next release
[11:25] <serialk> my card is nVidia GT216
[11:25] <ActionPa1snip> serialk: so what release do you have now?
[11:26] <serialk> the last one, 11.10
[11:26] <ActionPa1snip> serialk: I suggest you remove the driver and boot to the desktop, then reinstall it
[11:27] <serialk> okay.

[11:44] <panx> :P
[11:44] <serialk> ActionPa1snip: the driver assistant says the installation has failed
[11:44] <serialk> and in jockey.log I got this :
[11:44] <serialk> 2012-04-17 13:43:20,617 WARNING: modinfo for module nvidia_current_updates failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module nvidia_current_updates

[11:47] <jasonmsp> hey all.  I'm using bluefish for some editing.  When I right click and open with it is not opening the files in another tab, but a new window.  Is there a way to make Ubuntu know it should open the file in the existing running instance of bluefish?
[11:48] <jrib> jasonmsp: can you figure out how to do it on the command line?
[11:48] <serialk> ActionPa1snip: nvidia-current is already installed
[11:48] <jrib> jasonmsp: by "it" I mean: open a file in a new tab in an existing instance of bluefish
[11:48] <serialk> (but I removed it just before …)
[11:49] <deper29> serialk, what kind of videcard do you have?
[11:49] <jasonmsp> jrib: understood..  let me try.. brb
[11:49] <serialk> nVidia GT216
[11:50] <ActionPa1snip> serialk: then you need to uninstall that to
[11:51] <serialk> okay now i removed nvidia*
[11:54] <jasonmsp> jrib:  manpage says just add -c (bluefish -c file.html)  but it only works if you run the first one from the command line trailing with an & to run in the background.
[11:55] <jasonmsp> jrib: if an existing instance is running and you do bluefish -c filename it still opens a new window.
[11:55] <jrib> jasonmsp: if you open up a file in bluefish using the gui, then do "bluefish -c newfile", does newfile display in a new window still?
[11:56] <jasonmsp> jrib: no
[11:56] <jrib> jasonmsp: so it opens in a new tab in that case?
[11:56] <jasonmsp> wait.. yes sorry..
[11:56] <floripondia> hola
[11:56] <jasonmsp> jrib: if an existing instance is running (opened by GUI) and you do bluefish -c filename it still opens a new window.

[11:59] <Partyschaum> hi, just upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS beta2. somehow i've the xubuntu splash screen installed. anyone knows how to switch back to the standard ubuntu splash screen?
[11:59] <floripondia> hahahahaha

[11:59] <JohnnyricoMC> can we get this idiot out of here already? It's painfully obvious he's only here to act stupid and not to ask an ubuntu-related question
[12:00] <Guest98239> Hi, how to push a stream to flash media server with ffmpeg?
[12:00] <paulus68> !precise|Partyschaum
[12:00] <JohnnyricoMC> thankx Tm_T
[12:00] <Tm_T> please leave commenting out
[12:00] <nlici> any answers?
[12:00] <jasonmsp> Ok where were we?
[12:00] <JohnnyricoMC> *thanks
[12:00] <jasonmsp> jrib:  did you see my last?
[12:00] <JohnnyricoMC> [13:56:13] <jrib> jasonmsp: so it opens in a new tab in that case?
[12:00] <JohnnyricoMC> [13:56:16] <jasonmsp> wait.. yes sorry..
[12:01] <jasonmsp> jrib: command line opens new window if a GUI launched instance is already running.
[12:01] <jrib> jasonmsp: yes.  I don't know.  It seems like -c is not behiving properly.  Did you check if there's a channel, mailing list, or forum for bluefish you could try? (assuming you don't want to try to read the source code to see what -c really does)
[12:01] <Guest98239>  Hi, how to push a stream to flash media server with ffmpeg?
[12:02] <serialk> deper29: the driver is not running apparently :]
[12:02] <Partyschaum> ubottu: ok, thx
[12:02] <deper29> serialk, are you in low graphics mode then?
[12:02] <deper29> or are you in cli?
[12:03] <serialk> X is running but my screen isn't detected and my resolution is horrible
[12:03] <jasonmsp> jrib: looking now.  Can't read C.  =(
[12:03] <jrib> jasonmsp: i'm digging through the bug tracker to see if I see anything: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=bluefish&content=current+window
[12:03] <decksmasher> i have ubuntu 10.10 maverick. i want to use fluxbox, so i was wondering if i download it and use it will it transfer all my programs over.?
[12:04] <deper29> serialk, under system > administration > hardware drivers, is it enabled?
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> decksmasher: maverick is EOL
[12:04] <jasonmsp> jrib: thx
[12:04] <JohnnyricoMC> quick question for those of us who do preseeding: to install the bare minimum with a working GUI, I need to put "tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard" followed by "tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard" in my seed-file, correct?
[12:05] <Lint> decksmasher, of course your program will work, but youĺl have to create menu entries for them manually
[12:05] <JohnnyricoMC> woops, didn't properly copy the second-line
[12:05] <decksmasher> lint thank u.
[12:05] <jrib> jasonmsp: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609739 no feedback and it's from 2010.  But it claims to just quote the mailing list so there may be more discussion there
[12:05] <JohnnyricoMC> "tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard" /n "d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential vim nano x-window-system-core gnome-core gdm"   , correct?
[12:06] <JohnnyricoMC> minus vim, nano, openssh-server and build-essential :s
[12:06] <serialk> deper29: there are two nVidia drivers and none of them is activated
[12:06] <deper29> activate one
[12:06] <deper29> reboo
[12:06] <deper29> *reboot
[12:07] <jasonmsp> jrib: looking.  thx
[12:07] <sssssss1> How can I cancel all printer jobs from the terminal?
[12:07] <JohnnyricoMC> lprm
[12:07] <sssssss1> what is it
[12:07] <JohnnyricoMC> http://linux.die.net/man/1/lprm-cups
[12:08] <JohnnyricoMC> lprm cancels print jobs that have been queued for printing. If no arguments are supplied, the current job on the default destination is cancelled. You can specify one or more job ID numbers to cancel those jobs or use the - option to cancel all jobs.
[12:08] <jrib> jasonmsp: here's the thread on the mailing list: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.user/819
[12:08] <Kaco> join #sdl
[12:08] <Kaco> oops :-D
[12:08] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: seems to be correct
[12:08] <jasonmsp> jrib: thx
[12:08] <JohnnyricoMC> thanks paulus68
[12:08] <jrib> jasonmsp: ironically it ends with "I added a bug report for this issue, so we don't forget it." :P
[12:09] <JohnnyricoMC> in your case sssssss1, it would probably be something like "lprm -P [printername] -"
[12:09] <serialk> deper29: the installation fails
[12:09] <serialk> 2012-04-17 14:08:39,948 WARNING: /sys/module/nvidia_current_updates/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind nvidia_current_updates driver
[12:09] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: still strugling myself here with the preseed *it's a lot harder to preseed ubuntu then windows xp lol
[12:09] <JohnnyricoMC> I noticed
[12:09] <sssssss1> output ----> No active jobs on **PRINTERNAME**!
[12:09] <JohnnyricoMC> I had to mess around A LOT with boot parameters because Ubuntu doesn't obey the first few lines of a preseed-file :s
[12:10] <sssssss1> but there's one! I show you a screen if you want
[12:10] <JohnnyricoMC> try without the -P [printername]
[12:10] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: especially when you enter the language stuff it seems to ignore them completly
[12:10] <jasonmsp> jrib: Got it..  preferences....    Thanks!
[12:10] <JohnnyricoMC> yep
[12:10] <deper29> serialk, on both drivers?
[12:10] <jrib> jasonmsp: oh it worked?
[12:11] <JohnnyricoMC> here's the line of kernel options I had to add on top of feeding the preseed-location: "lang=english locale=en_GB console-setup/layoutcode=en_GB priority=critical interface=auto netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 "
[12:12] <sssssss1> JohnnyricoMC: already did... the same output
[12:12] <JohnnyricoMC> There's probably some unnecessary options in there, but since these things tend to disobey in the 2nd half of my shift, I couldn't be bothered to start sifting out which ones I really need and which ones I don't
[12:12] <sssssss1> http://imagebin.org/208482
[12:12] <JohnnyricoMC> sssssss1, is the print job preventing other jobs from starting?
[12:12] <sacarlson> I'm failing to get mini.iso to install for ubuntu 10.04,  has anyone had success with mini.iso install with any other version of ubuntu ?
[12:12] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: that's what I mean you have to type a lot before you are able to launch the preseed and then you need to do them again
[12:12] <JohnnyricoMC> yeah
[12:12] <sssssss1> JohnnyricoMC: yes, it is.
[12:13] <JohnnyricoMC> I presume you've tried Sudo?
[12:13] <jasonmsp> jrib: yes.  The preferences lists it under Files -> Misc - uncheck 'Open commandline files in new window'  even though it wasn't command line launched (right click and open..) it worked.
[12:13] <JohnnyricoMC> fortunately I'm just feeding the kernel options with cobbler
[12:13] <jrib> jasonmsp: great :)
[12:13] <jasonmsp> jrib: yes. Thank you.
[12:13] <trezyu> ActionParsnip: not working you tuto
[12:13] <sssssss1> JohnnyricoMC: of course.... it says that there are no active jobs
[12:13] <JohnnyricoMC> bizarre
[12:13] <sssssss1> I know
[12:14] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: especially when you use these files as reference debconf-get-selections --installer > file_selections |debconf-get-selections >> file_selections
[12:14] <sssssss1> That's why I'm here
[12:14] <jasonmsp> back to work.  Enjoy your morning, noon or night all..
[12:15] <JohnnyricoMC> Fortunately, I don't do that paulus68, my task is simply to set up a system that allows unattended installs on VM's :)
[12:15] <JohnnyricoMC> sssssss1, have you tried restarting the cups daemon?
[12:15] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: can you install a pxe server on an excisting server or is it better to do this seperatly?
[12:16] <JohnnyricoMC> I bet it's possible to do on an existing server
[12:16] <JohnnyricoMC> you just need to run a dhcp-server and a tftp-server
[12:16] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: ok
[12:16] <JohnnyricoMC> the whole "server" I'm using for the system is just a VM running CentOS
[12:16] <trezyu> hello there
[12:16] <trezyu> anyone ?
[12:16] <Guest8550> hi everyone, is it possible that my rtorrent autostart script doesn't work because of encrypted home ?
[12:17] <Pici> sacarlson: I've done a number of mini installs with that disc, what seems to be the issue?
[12:17] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: well going back to work talk to you later
[12:17] <JohnnyricoMC> with the dhcp-daemon set to only give out leases to machines that have a MAC-address generated by VMWare. That way none of the physical computers in the network should notice the presence of that PXE server
[12:17] <deper29> serialk, did the other driver work?
[12:18] <JohnnyricoMC> sssssss1, any luck with restarting the cups daemon?
[12:18] <paulus68> JohnnyricoMC: ok thanks
[12:18] <serialk> deper29: no.
[12:18] <serialk> wait, I reinstall EVERYTHING
[12:18] <deper29> serialk, what do you mean, EVERYTHING?
[12:19] <Guest8550> had anyone configured rtorrent to startup automaticaly ?
[12:19] <sacarlson> Pici: it seem to just sit waiting for something after I select a repository
[12:19] <Phazorx> hi
[12:20] <Pici> sacarlson: Check the other VTs to see if any errors were noted.
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> serialk: proprietary drivers can make release changes painful
[12:20] <sacarlson> Pici: vts?  I doing it from virtualbox if that makes any difference
[12:20] <Phazorx> how do i change user locale on 10.04 server (not system wide)?
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> Phazorx: so just for one command?
[12:21] <Pici> sacarlson: alt-f2, f3, etc
[12:21] <deper29> serialk, you could use the proprietary nvidia binary from their website?
[12:21] <Phazorx> ActionParsnip: for user, permanently
[12:22] <sacarlson> Pici: oh I tried that but then it goes to my the host of my virtualbox
[12:22] <Phazorx> the locale i want to change to is already available, but defualt is different and user was created with default one
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> Phazorx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[12:22] <boxfire> So I am not a regular ubuntu user, but I am setting up a lab for my boss. We do both normal lab use activities and compute jobs. Is there a way to get the computers to suspend only if the compuer is idle in terms of user input AND idle in terms of jobs?
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> Phazorx: http://www.bash-linux.com/unix-man-setlocale.html
[12:23] <Phazorx> ActionParsnip: so add lolcale setting to user's profile ?
[12:23] <Guest8550> does anyone use rtorrent ?
[12:23] <sssssss> JohnnyricoMC: loooool it neither works with a reboot
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest8550: I'm sure many do
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> Phazorx: could add it in ~/.bashrc
[12:23] <sacarlson> Pici: I've tried a few different archives including us. jp. th. ...  I wonder if there is a way to do an alt f2 from inside a virtualbox?
[12:23] <sssssss> someone can please tell me how to cancel everything in the print list?
[12:24] <sssssss> I'm becoming crazyyyy
[12:24] <Phazorx> ActionParsnip: which one is more correct?
[12:24] <Guest8550> does anyone who use rtorrent use also autostart script ? :D
[12:24] <Phazorx> assuming that user can change shell
[12:24] <Phazorx> i mean ~/.profile sounds more reasonable
[12:24] <Phazorx> if ubuntu reads that on login
[12:24] <Pici> sacarlson: I suspect that you don't have virtualbox's networking setup properly.
[12:25] <rumba> Hi guys. What libssl version does Ubuntu 11.10 come with? Or where can I find a list of packages grouped by Ubuntu version?
[12:25] <Pici> rumba: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[12:25] <sacarlson> Pici: I checked virtualbox with lubuntu on the same host and the network is working fine on that one
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> !info libssl
[12:26] <Pici> sacarlson: with the same networking settings? i.e, bridged, or nat, or whatever works.
[12:26] <rumba> Thanks, Pici!
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Phazorx: try either :)
[12:26] <sacarlson> Pici: yes but I think I'll try nat,  I've been using bridged
[12:26] <Phazorx> heh... okay
[12:26] <Phazorx> thanks ActionParsnip
[12:26] <rumba> !info libssl0.9.8
[12:26] <rumba> !info libssl1.0.0
[12:28] <rumba> So... both 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 are available? packages.ubuntu.com lists them as being in "universe" and "security" respectively.
[12:28] <JohnnyricoMC> Well I'm out of ideas sssssss, not a linux-expert at all, but I try to help when I think I can
[12:28] <sssssss> ok JohnnyricoMC, np
[12:28] <sssssss> thx
[12:29] <rumba> How do I choose between one and the other?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> rumba: different package names
[12:30] <rumba> Ah, no dash between name and version
[12:30] <sacarlson> Pici: change to nat settings in virtualbox for mini.iso failed to help still end up with a blue screen after being asked for what archive to use
[12:31] <sacarlson> Pici: I guess I will need to try it on a real system to proceed from here
[12:32] <Pici> sacarlson: I really have a feeling that theres an error on another virtual terminal, but you'd need to get vbox's alt button mapping worked out to see ut
[12:33] <sacarlson> Pici: ok I'll google that vbox's alt button mapping  that at least gives me hope
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: try different hardware in the vbox setting
[12:33] <Pici> sacarlson: You might try asking in #vbox as well, for that part.
[12:34] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: what hardware settings can I change?
[12:34] <zozy> hi there
[12:37] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: maybe a different network adapter nic?
[12:37] <zozy> is there anybody who succesfully compiled the vmware server modules under 2.6.32?
[12:37] <usa> Hey is there an Ubuntu server arm port I can use for raspberry pi?
[12:37] <Pici> sacarlson: I had some issues with the nic selection on my last vbox install... let me check which one I eventually went with.
[12:37] <sacarlson> Pici: oh cool
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: sure, why not :)
[12:37] <sacarlson> ok only 6 different nics to choose from
[12:37] <sacarlson> that will only take me less than 10 minits
[12:37] <pwasek> is there a way i can register my ubuntu workstation to my 2003 DNS server.  I see it gets a dhcp request but its not reigstering in the DNS on my server any suggestions
[12:38] <fabiobik> hi! its possible to compile ubuntu to our specific hardware? whats the benefit of compile?
[12:39] <acicula> fabiobik: yes, ussually nothing
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> pwasek: set the DNS server in your DHCP server, the Ubuntu DHCP client will use what it is told
[12:39] <Pici> sacarlson: I used the paravirtualized network adapter, in bridged mode.
[12:40] <caihongmin> bb
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> fabiobik: the OS will be more catered to your hardware rather than generic, you may see  a small increase in speed but regular updates will probably overwrite your work#
[12:42] <sacarlson> Pici: wow that would have been the last on the list that I was going to try,  I already tried the top and midle
[12:42] <acicula> fabiobik:
[12:43] <yzhd> yesterday I was syncing cm7 source. My PC ran out of battery, so it turned off. How can I continue the sync from where it stopped from?
[12:43] <yzhd> so it won't re download everything again.
[12:43] <serialk> I followed http://askubuntu.com/questions/66339/how-do-i-solve-this-nvidia-driver-download-error and it works !
[12:44] <fabiobik> acicula: yes?
[12:45] <acicula> fabiobik: nvm,typo,  my sausage fingers were acting up
[12:45] <sacarlson> Pici: ok looks stuck again with the paravirtualized network adapter oh but I have it set to nat so I'll try one more
[12:46] <squaregoldfish> yzhd: If the sync software is any good at its job, it should detect what it's downloaded and not re-fetch. Is this svn/git/?? ?
[12:49] <Kolt> Hi! I have a sony vaio laptop, and I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and its not even bootable, and neither is in recovery mode or with previous versions. With previous versions its a blank black screen with moust.
[12:50] <Kolt> What do I do now to make it usable?
[12:51] <zykotick9> Kolt: for 12.04 support ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:51] <Kolt> zykotick9: ty
[12:52] <horse01> kolt: maybe waiting for the end of this month the "new release"?
[12:56] <MonkeyDust> 12.04 install was no success here, either
[12:57] <gulzar> it works
[12:57] <AntazeWave> hellloo gulzar
[12:57] <sacarlson> For switch between virtual consoles into guest Linux works following:    Alt + HOST KEY + F1...F7  is what I'm told will work in virtual box so what is the HOST key?
[12:57] <gulzar> AntazeWave: Hi
[12:58] <MonkeyDust> sacarlson  try right ctrl
[12:58] <cornfeed> is there any way to tell apt to skip dpkg --configure ?
[12:58] <zykotick9> sacarlson: i'd suggest you try super (windows) key
[12:58] <zykotick9> sacarlson: sorry, i think MonkeyDust is correct
[12:58] <L3top> scarlson right ctrl... and if it is virtualbox, typically it is just right ctrl + f1
[12:59]  * L3top ususally uses f2
[13:00] <sacarlson> MonkeyDust: and others ya I figured it out but I had already changed that to right shift in my experments but I got it now thanks
[13:00] <mogaj> am getting this error : ERROR: Gem bundler is not installed, run `gem install bundler` first. .... i have installed gem bundler already

[13:01] <miaoge> maybe you can reboot

[13:06] <ms_hunter> any irc channel for networking or security

[13:11] <jmkgreen> anyone else getting "bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file." when apt-get updating?
[13:11] <Suprano> Greetings
[13:11] <jmkgreen> on 11.10
[13:11] <Suprano> what is the easiest way to get kernel 2.6 in ubuntu oneiric including source and headers?
[13:12] <Suprano> (as packages)
[13:12] <ms_hunter> thanks dskw
[13:12] <dskw> you're welcome
[13:12] <jmkgreen> am I looking at something out of date in sources.list?
[13:19] <Guest68220> a
[13:20] <sacarlson> in my mini.iso install I do see debug: resolver (libnewt0.52): package doesn't exist (ignored), I'm seeing some bugs that might relate to this but not sure if they relate
[13:21] <ypahnu> hello, I'm running ubuntu on vm, but disk size it's low , if I create a new disc image how can I bind them?
[13:22] <L3top> scarlson apt-cache search libnewt
[13:23] <L3top> ypahnu: what vm
[13:23] <ypahnu> Oracle VM box
[13:23] <L3top> And you did not choose a dynamically expanding disk type clearly
[13:24] <ypahnu> I guess not.. I think i did fixed size
[13:24] <Seaseal> Hello i have a problem with audio, can somebody please help me?
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> !ask| Seaseal
[13:25] <ypahnu> L3top, it's dinamimc alocated after all.. I just checked it now.. why it's telling me that I have low disc space !?
[13:25] <L3top> Adding another disk is quite easy, "binding" I dunno about. It is also possible to increase the size of the vdi... but I would have to look at how... something to do with dd I am sure.
[13:25] <L3top> because the host disk is low on space?
[13:25] <ypahnu> no host disk.. have pleanty of space
[13:26] <L3top> then it is just warning you as it gets to the edge of the dynamically moving size.
[13:26] <ypahnu> and vdi it's dinamic alocated.. why is this happening?
[13:26] <Seaseal> So my microphone was not working, so i opened "Sound Settings" from top. When i was in Hardware tab, i switched my "Internal Audio" device profile to "Analog Stereo Input" (I think it was "Analog Stereo Duplex").
[13:26] <Seaseal> In Output tab I had: Internal Audio and RV635 Audio Device(Radeon HD 3600 Series), In Input tab I had: Internal Audio and LifeCam VX-3000
[13:26] <Seaseal> "Internal Audio" on both tabs are now gone. I changed "Internel Audio" device profile to "Analog Stereo Duplex" again but it is not working.
[13:26] <ypahnu> but it's linux warning
[13:26] <ypahnu> shouldnd't be vm warning?
[13:26] <_Marcus> How do I move around the list that GRUB shows at boot? I want Windows to be the first. I already set the default selected to 4, but I want Windows to be at the top
[13:26] <L3top> You could probably cp some large directory and then delete it to make the warning go away. The reason it is warning you is because it IS running out of disk space. The OS doesn't understand that your VM changes the disk size.
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> Seaseal  in a terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, got there and press m (MM stands for Mute)
[13:27] <L3top> I assumed it was an OS error, not vm
[13:27] <ypahnu> L3top. thanks for the tips.. I will do just that
[13:29] <claude2_> anyone know if theres a fix/workaround for this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/789174
[13:33] <mooperd> hello
[13:35] <mooperd> I have an old PATA hard disk with an ubuntu installation on it. The computer has died but I need to extract the contents of a database on the partition. I am not getting any keyboard during the boot and the boot is getting stuck on the network drivers and disk UUID bits.
[13:35] <sacarlson> L3top:  the return for apt-cache search libnewt show it exists on archive.ubuntu.com  and even after I manualy changed to that archive I get the same error in mini.iso of ubuntu 10.04 I see this but but not sure relates https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/foundations-bugs/2011-December/056943.html
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> mooperd  if you have more than one pc in the same network, you can use SSH
[13:36] <mooperd> MonkeyDust: That would be nice but the boot is not getting that far. also the interface on the computer is not really linux compatable.
[13:36] <L3top> sacarlson: Did you try manually installing it?
[13:37] <tapas> hi, what version of Qt does the current ubuntu ship with?
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> mooperd  interface makes no difference
[13:37] <_Marcus> How do I install Java JDK and JRE on Ubuntu?
[13:37] <zeld> hi
[13:37] <L3top> meaning apt-get install libnewt0.52
[13:37] <_Marcus> Hi zeld
[13:37] <fidel> tapas: apt-cache policy packagename
[13:37] <zeld> :)
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> !java| _Marcus
[13:37] <mooperd> MonkeyDust: in order to ssh into the machine. you need a working network interface
[13:37] <sacarlson> L3top: it doesn't get far enuf in the install to enable installing anything
[13:37] <tapas> i don't have it installed yet\
[13:37] <tapas> looking for a distro with a very current Qt :D
[13:37] <_Marcus> Thank you MonkeyDust
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> mooperd  that is true :)
[13:38] <L3top> Qt what?
[13:38] <zeld> hi _Marcus i need some old package about dapper drake :) i know that are too old, but i need the gcc-2.65 and libstdcc++ library
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> !pm| Seaseal
[13:38] <fidel> tapas: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[13:38] <sacarlson> L3top: I'm running mini.iso 10.04 from virtualbox ,   I would like to try from a real box to see if it will duplicate or if it's virtualbox dependent
[13:38] <_Marcus> zeld: If you are looking for old GNU software, then try GNU's FTP
[13:39] <L3top> I am sure it will behave the same way on both sacarlson. The mini.iso is the one which dlds everything from the net that you desire, yes?
[13:39] <_Marcus> zeld: http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/ or ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/
[13:39] <mistral> hi everyone!:)
[13:39] <zeld> i tried to search on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ but not in GNU's FTé
[13:39] <_Marcus> Hi mistral
[13:39] <zeld> _Marcus: thanks :)
[13:39] <L3top> Why are you using the mini.iso just out of curiosity sacarlson?
[13:39] <Seaseal> I typed alsamixer and changed all MMs to 00s
[13:39] <Seaseal> Before I've joined the channel, i did ubuntu-bug audio check and the program sent signals to my speakers and i heard them. Also it said this:
[13:39] <Seaseal> "You don't seem to have configured PulseAudio to use the card you want output from (Internal Audio - HDA Intel).
[13:39] <Seaseal>  You can fix that using pavucontrol or the GNOME volume control. Continue anyway?"
[13:39] <Seaseal> I installed pavucontrol and it looks like GNOME volume control.
[13:39] <FloodBot1> Seaseal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:39] <Seaseal> My "Internal Audio" device disappeared on Input and Output tabs, i just want to add them back. So it will work again hopefully.
[13:40] <_Marcus> !pastebin | Seaseal
[13:40] <tapas> fidel: oh ok, thanks.. i suppoe libqt 4.7 is recent enough to give it a shot..
[13:40] <sacarlson> L3top: I was working on a auto install that failed and this seems to be what is causing it
[13:40] <zeld> _Marcus: but these pakcage are not deb but source package :S
[13:40] <zeld> if is possible i need the .deb package :)
[13:40] <Seaseal> I'm also sorry, first time here.
[13:40] <_Marcus> zeld: I do not know where to find .deb packages, sadly :(
[13:41] <_Marcus> Seaseal: It's okay, just remember to use a pastebin next time
[13:41] <sacarlson> L3top: until I can get it to manualy install I can't auto install
[13:41] <zeld> me too :D thanks :')
[13:41] <Seaseal> Okay.
[13:41] <sacarlson> L3top: I was also working on a local repository to get it to install faster but again stuck here
[13:42] <L3top> Yeah... you are doing very odd things. your local repo probably doesn't have the prerequisite packages and however you have set this up doesn't have access to outside perhaps. Hard to say
[13:43] <cindirella> nobody know how can  do to install a wireless connection??? Tks
[13:43] <sacarlson> L3top: no I droped local repository to isolate so that's not it
[13:43] <_Marcus> cindirella: What, exactly, do you mean?
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> !wifi| cindirella start here
[13:43] <_Marcus> Or just do that
[13:43] <bindi> bindirella? :|
[13:43] <bindi> pretty sure it's cindirella
[13:45] <sacarlson> l3top: pici has told me he's installed many ubuntu 10.04 with mini.iso with no problem so I'm stuck as to what might be different
[13:45] <nlici> Hi!i passed some pictures through bluetooth but i can not able to find the transfered pictures on my computer even it was written that the files were sent .
[13:45] <nlici> help please
[13:46] <Seaseal> I have Ubuntu 11.10, i heard terms like ALSA, PulseAudio, but i don't know which one is controlling my audio. I want to know if i can reset everything like i was installing Ubuntu. Because my device is missing on both Input and Output tabs.
 try alsamixer
[13:48] <L3top> I have done them as well. 1004 is LTS, I have never had an issue with normal installs. I don't know what your issue is. I would suspect network...
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> nlici  look in the Public folder
[13:49] <L3top> Seaseal: amixdigital=$(amixer | grep "Simple" | cut -d' ' -f4,5,6 | sort | uniq); for output in $amixdigital; do amixer sset $output unmute; amixer sset output 80%; done 2>/dev/null; alsactl store
[13:49] <zeld> _Marcus: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu :)
[13:49] <L3top> That will unmute everything and set all volumes to 80%
[13:49] <zeld> now i'm happy :D
[13:49] <L3top> I dont need to see the flood of returns which shows this has happened.
[13:50] <_Marcus> zeld: :D
[13:50] <pwasek> is there a way i can register my ubuntu workstation to my 2003 DNS server.  I see it gets a dhcp request but its not reigstering in the DNS on my server any suggestions
[13:51] <sacarlson> L3top: I'm begining to think it's my service provider as I've tried 4 or more archives with no luck
[13:52] <_Marcus> sacarlson: You're having trouble installing Ubuntu with mini.iso?
[13:52] <sacarlson> _Marcus: yes
[13:52] <Seaseal> Okay guys, i found my solution here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/112303/new-sound-devices-show-up-in-hardware-but-not-input-or-output, i typed "killall pulseaudio" and my devices came back!
[13:52] <sacarlson> _Marcus: mini.iso with 10.04  but I think I've also tried 11.10 with no luck
 so simple ))
[13:53] <_Marcus> sacarlson: Do you need mini.iso?
[13:53] <sacarlson> _Marcus: I was having the same problem with alternate install that I did need
[13:53] <fellayaboy> how do i delete all partitions in a memory card and make it into one solid fat32
[13:53] <zipatei> hi folks...
[13:53] <_Marcus> sacarlson: And you're sure that computer is connecting to the internet?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> fellayaboy: use gparted
[13:54] <sacarlson> _Marcus: as mini.iso is about the same as alternate without the build in repository
[13:55] <sacarlson> _Marcus: yes as the last message says it got good signatures I assume that might mean it has internet and I see in virtualbox the blinking net
[13:55] <Ginjiro> Test
[13:55] <_Marcus> Hi Ginjiro
[13:55] <Ginjiro> Hello, Marcus.
[13:56] <_Marcus> sacarlson: Strange.. Did you try multiple archives?
[13:56] <meganerd> pwasek: check  /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, you also need to change some settings on the 2003 DHCP/DNS server to allow non authentcated changes
[13:56] <Somelauw> Hi, I noticed that in a few cases evince displays pdf's differently than adbobe reader. Are these bugs in evince?
[13:56] <zipatei> I I need a little help. My cousin has an Intel(R) 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2 graphics card with open source drivers.
[13:56] <zipatei> Do you see two black bars (one on the right one on the left).
[13:56] <zipatei> We report in launchpad this situation, but does anyone can help to report the best place?
[13:56] <sacarlson> _Marcus: yes I've tried us. jp. th.  one more
[13:57] <sacarlson> _Marcus: it must be a virtualbox thing
[13:57] <_Marcus> sacarlson: That is strange. I have no idea
[13:57] <ypahnu> L3top: I rezise the disk now I got 24G Free of Unallacated Space, I can Create Partition. this will extend the main partition ?
[13:57] <_Marcus> sacarlson: Though I do remember when I tried it on Virtual Box, it took me several tries
[13:57] <weather15> If i download and install the Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 will I have to re-install when the release comes out or will the beta become the release?
[13:57] <zipatei> launchpad report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/976887
[13:57] <sacarlson> _Marcus: ok I'll just have to shut something down to try it on a real box
[13:58] <zipatei> ubottu... yes ,I did that I reported this
[13:59] <zipatei> ubottu: :) cool
[13:59] <weather15> If I download and install the Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 will I have to re-install when the release comes out or will the beta become the release through updates?
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> weather15: no you will upgrade seamlessly
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> weather15: please keep 12.04 based questions in #ubuntu+1 til release day
[14:00] <Ginjiro> Bye.
[14:00] <weather15> ActionParsnip: Thanks. I really wanted to get my PC setup with an LTS but didn't want to wait till next week. I'll keep that in mind.
[14:02] <Sidewinder> weather15, You could also install 10.04 (it's supported until 2013), it's LTS; then upgrade to 12.04 at your leisure.
[14:02] <L3top> why would you do that ypahnu? If you have free space, you have free space
[14:03] <Sidewinder> Oops, gone..
[14:03] <Sidewinder> :(
[14:04] <ypahnu> L3top, it's show on disk utility 6.4G ext4 then Free 14GB,, I guess I need to format this to add to the 6.4GB
[14:04] <L3top> If you want a separate partition, I would just create another disk in vbox settings.
[14:04] <nlici> any help please
[14:05] <L3top> then you did something strange... I have no idea what gparted will do trying to extend the size of a partition of a dynamically expanding virtual disk
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> nlici: ask away
[14:06] <L3top> I said to just copy a dir in the vm and delete it because the message was bothering you.
[14:06] <L3top> that would not do that.
[14:06] <mooperd> If I am copying a 40GB ext file system using dd from one partition to another on a different disk. Do I have to complete all 40GB or just the bits with data on. I am getting an error. "EXT-fs error (device sda3): ext3_lookup:deleted inode referance: 1233232; cannot access home / media / bin: Input output error"
[14:06] <nlici> passed some pictures from my phone to computer (ubuntu) i can not able to find them even tough it was written the pictures passed throuh , i checked all the files couldnt fine
[14:07] <nlici> how can i find the pictures
[14:07] <nlici> ?
[14:08] <Atlantic777> nlici: how have you transfered them? Bluetooth, USB cable?
[14:08] <skel> nlici: how did you copy them?
[14:08] <L3top> mooperd: you need to run fsck -f /dev/sda from some other environment, like a live disk.
[14:08] <L3top> mooperd: do NOT mount the disk prior to running fsck.
[14:08] <nlici> blutooth
[14:08] <nlici> and now i can not find them
[14:08] <nlici> it does not ask where to save
[14:08] <mooperd> L3top: so do the dd, then fsck, then mount it?
[14:09] <Atlantic777> nlici: there's default folder for files received via bluetooth, iirc.
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> nlici  normally it's Public
[14:09] <nlici> which one is it this is the question :)
[14:10] <L3top> no
[14:10] <L3top> You need to check the disk prior to the dd
[14:10] <L3top> or the mount
[14:10] <nimesh_accenture> how do i check which file system is used by ubuntu?
[14:11] <L3top> mooperd: boot to live disk, run the fsck, then go back to wherever you are doing whatever you are doing.
[14:11] <mooperd> L3top: why live disk?
[14:11] <L3top> nimesh_accenture: df -T
[14:11] <TimeKilla> What's the social channel again? Forgot to save it?
[14:11] <nimesh_accenture> thx!!
[14:11] <L3top> mooperd: because the disk cannot be mounted when you run fsck or it will explode
[14:11] <_Marcus> mooperd: Because when you're using Live Disk, it wont mount the disk you want to edit
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> nlici  just tried, look in your Home folder
[14:12] <mooperd> _Marcus: ah, automounting is all turned off anyway
[14:12] <bazhang> TimeKilla, #ubuntu-offtopic

[14:13] <mooperd> L3top: _Marcus: Why will it explode the parition
[14:13] <harsh343> how to kill the program I am using titanium and it is not reponding
[14:13] <nsabdfl> nlici: did you try searching in dash?
[14:13] <harsh343> what i can do when i type kill they ask me job id
[14:13] <nsabdfl> if you know the file names, that is..
[14:14] <_Marcus> mooperd: I am 95% he meant it will explode the partition figuratively. But you cannot edit a partition that is in use, so you need to use the Live CD
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> nlici  try locate filename
[14:14] <mooperd> _Marcus: The partition is not in use!
[14:14] <nlici> by?
[14:14] <_Marcus> mooperd: Then you shouldn't need the live cd
[14:14] <nsabdfl> harsh343: try killall <program name>
[14:15] <mooperd> does dd not handle inodes or something?
[14:15] <nsabdfl> or try finding PID of the process u want to kill
[14:15] <L3top> The DISK cannot be in use
[14:15] <harsh343> nsabdfl, no process found
[14:15] <L3top> cannot be mounted
[14:16] <ypahnu> L3top: why ?! how?
[14:16] <nsabdfl> harsh343: what exactly are u trying to kill
[14:16] <L3top> huh? sorry I was talking to mooperd.
[14:16] <davividal> how can I downgrade my nvidia-current? I'm using 295.40 and I want to go back to 295.33, so my Unity will work again.

[14:16] <harsh343> nsabdfl, titanium studio
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> !downgrade| davividal
[14:17] <_Marcus> Pici: Ironically, you forgot to add "| L3top"
[14:17] <davividal> MonkeyDust, I don't want to downgrade ubuntu, I want to downgrade nvidia-current.
[14:17] <Pici> _Marcus: it was a reminder to a number of people.
[14:17] <nsabdfl> harsh343: are u sure its running?
[14:17] <_Marcus> Oh
[14:17] <ypahnu> http://goo.gl/CLmmu how to add this Free space to the 6.4GB ?
[14:17] <harsh343> nsabdfl, titanium studio is running but not responding anything
[14:18] <harsh343> how can i show the running program through command line
[14:18] <nsabdfl> harsh343: do you know the process name?
[14:18] <harsh343> nsabdfl, no
[14:18] <nsabdfl> harsh343: top displays running processes
[14:18] <zozy> harsh343: how do you mean show?

[14:19] <naftilos76> hi everyone, i am migrating from KDE kmail2 to evolution or thunderbird because kmail2 is a total failure after kmail->kmail2. Bugs, bugs, bugs and more bugs...Can anybody please give me his/her feedback regarding the use of evolution or thunderbird operation? I will use IMAP to sync with my server. Have you had any problems with it?
[14:19] <Xtreme> guys, how can i associate firefox for apt protocol?
[14:19] <harsh343> nsabdfl, where is top ?
[14:19] <nsabdfl> naftilos76: thunderbird's awesome. go ahead
[14:19] <fidel> naftilos76: thunderbird works pretty good - seems less resource-hungry the nevolution to me
[14:19] <nsabdfl> harsh343: type top in terminal.
[14:20] <harsh343> ok
[14:20] <usa> Hey is there an Ubuntu server arm port I can use for raspberry pi?
[14:20] <fidel> naftilos76: there is a thunderbird ppa available as well in case you want latest versions
[14:20] <naftilos76> thanks guys, i have already tried thunderbird and seems to work flawlessly. anyone else?
[14:20] <_Marcus> usa: Last time I checked, Raspberry Pi was too weak for servers, much less an every day desktop computer
[14:20] <harsh343> nsabdfl, thanks its works
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> thunderbird is in the repos, no ppa needed
[14:20] <harsh343> for me
[14:20] <nsabdfl> harsh343: welcome.. :)
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> naftilos76  http://products.secureserver.net/email/email_thunderbird.htm
[14:21] <harsh343> actually I am giving space eveytime thats why i am unable to kill them, correct is killall TitaniumStudio
[14:22] <ami_> random one: does anyone have a pinterest invite they could hook me up with?
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: its more than enough for a samba server
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> ami_: how is that related to ubuntu support?
[14:22] <ami_> it's not in anyway
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> ami_: then it's offtopic here
[14:23] <ami_> hence is being a random one
[14:23] <_Marcus> ami_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:23] <ami_> it is I apologise
[14:23] <ami_> thanks Marcus
[14:23] <Xtreme> and also, can anyone tell me a nice video player for ubuntu.. nice = good sound effects and supports all formats. like jetaudio in windows
[14:24] <Sidewinder> Xtreme, Try Totem..
[14:25] <zipatei> yes... Totem is cool... missing a option to save ratio... but is excelent
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: each player uses a central repository of codecs, so all players can play all formats as long as the system has the codecs
[14:26] <Xtreme> guys i am not able to install adobe flash
[14:26] <Xtreme> dont know why, i am getting msg download failed

[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc

[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: enable the partner reop and install adobe-flashplugin
[14:28] <Xtreme> ActionParsnip: how to?
[14:29] <[snake]> Hello
[14:30] <_Marcus> Hi [snake]
[14:31] <Xtreme> Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
[14:32] <[snake]> I am using openoffice writer on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. I am using the right-to-left writing feature, but it's not functioning. When it types out it stays in "left to right" format except it's pushed over to the right margin. which if I wanted that I'd just hit the right margin button. what could the problem be?
[14:33] <L3top> Xtreme: flashplugin-installer I believe.

[14:37] <mikkelb> Hey!
[14:37] <mikkelb> Any music producers around?
[14:37] <davividal> how can I downgrade my nvidia-current? I'm using 295.40 and I want to go back to 295.33, so my Unity will work again.
[14:39] <AaronMT> Are OS upgrades via the update-manager usually safe?
[14:39] <_Marcus> !offtopic mikkelb
[14:40] <mikkelb> sorry _Marcus
[14:41] <[snake]> nvm.... I think it's just simply an issue with my font
[14:41] <nimesh_accenture> how do i create a new partition inside an existing partition?
[14:41] <JonathanEllis> I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on my laptop. Just in the last couple of days the touchpad mouse behaviour has become more and more odd. Often the left mouse button doesnt register clicks and sometimes the mouse seems to be dragging even when I dont have a mouse button depressed. Any ideas please?
[14:43] <JonathanEllis> nimesh_accenture: You cant create a partition inside a partition, only in unallocated space. You can resize a partition to create unallocated space that you can then create more partitions inside using gparted. You will need to run this from a live CD if you need to resize partitions that are mounted
[14:44] <dusf> i have installed openoffice through the software centre but i don't see the packages visible in applications menu > office. where can i find it please?
[14:44] <dusf> openoffice is different than libre office, yes?
[14:44] <DJones> dusf: Libreoffice is an updated version of openoffice
[14:44] <dusf> ty
[14:44] <JonathanEllis> dusf: You can try customising the menu to see if openoffice is just not shown
[14:45] <tooot> Hi guys, just installed ubuntu 11.10.   The problem is that unity 3d does not start (It did work when I test runned it from flash stick)
[14:45] <davividal> tooot, do you have a nvidia card?
[14:45] <tooot> yep
[14:46] <davividal> tooot, same problem here. It's a driver problem. I'm using Unity 2D for the time being. If you figure out what to do, please tell me :)
[14:46] <tooot> ok :)
[14:46] <KaosMcRage> Anyone know how to get Ubuntu 11.10 dynamic resolutions working as a guest VM in VirtualBox? (yes, guest additions are installed)
[14:47] <saulotoledo> hello! I have 2 Apache VirtualHosts running the same SSL file (for tests only) in 2 different ports. When I activate the SSL, for both VirtualHosts PHP save the same session files and, since both run with different users (using itk module instead prefork), if I run one, the other receives a permission error, like this:  open(/var/lib/php5/sess_likukr84qpdu2rt81dj6ap18c6, O_RDWR) failed:...
[14:47] <saulotoledo> ...Permission denied (13)        Already checked, the session file is saved with the permissions of the first user, but boh should be different session files, not the same. What's the problem?
[14:47] <saulotoledo> All I found about this problem was this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=886064
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> davividal: unity2d makes unity nice and stable
[14:47] <Xtreme> guys i downloaded abode from their server, now is there anything i can do to install it?
[14:48] <greenit> hi, i have 3 computers +1 server running ubuntu @home... would it be efficient, if i set up an ubuntu-mirror or should i just update like i do right now? i just think about a mirror because of the releas of 12.04 coming closer and i want to update every computer as fast as possible ;)
[14:48] <davividal> ActionParsnip, it doesn't look as smooth as normal-Unity for me. :( It's working (it's what really matters), but it isn't as beautiful.
[14:48] <syddraf_> For some reason, firefox and a terminal window are launching on boot. They are not listed in the startup programs GUI. Is there something in terminal that I can check that would control boot programs?
[14:49] <nimesh_accenture> JonathanEllis: thx!
[14:50] <greenit> syddraf_, you can look if there is anything in /etc/rc
[14:50] <KaosMcRage> syddraf_: check your .xsession
[14:50] <greenit> syddraf_, you can look if there is anything in /etc/rc.local
[14:50] <bazhang> deadmund-bot, hi
[14:51] <deadmund> bazhang: I'm writing a bot! :P
[14:52] <jbwiv> guys, I suspect (based on reading bug reports) that pm-utils is causing some unwanted disk writes. I proceeded to uninstall it with apt, but apt wants to uninstall gnome-session as well? Anyone know why/how to get around?

[14:54] <azizblackbox> but there is fine dude
[14:55] <bazhang> azizblackbox, pardon?
[14:55] <KaosMcRage> syddraf_: anything in ~/.xsession ?
[14:55] <azizblackbox> i only confuse with my terminal console ..
[14:55] <syddraf_> KaosMcRage: No such file or directory.
[14:56] <KaosMcRage> syddraf_: ok, just making sure (I think that might be a bit old school)
[14:56] <azizblackbox> Terminal console and xterm is same ???
[14:56] <bazhang> azizblackbox, mint is not supported here. please take it to the proper channel
[14:57] <azizblackbox> oh k..
[14:58] <syddraf_> Any other ideas about where this could be launching?
[14:58] <greenit> hi, i have 3 computers +1 server running ubuntu @home... would it be efficient, if i set up an ubuntu-mirror or should i just update like i do right now? i just think about a mirror because of the releas of 12.04 coming closer and i want to update every computer as fast as possible ;)
[14:58] <Xtreme> auronandace: can i pm u?
[14:58] <Rienzilla> don't set up a mirror :)
[14:59] <Rienzilla> if bandwidth is REALLY an issue, set up a transparent caching proxy
[14:59] <auronandace> Xtreme: i'd rather you keep it in the channel
[14:59] <auronandace> Xtreme: thanks for asking

[15:02] <intelligentfool> hello all, newb here, trying to setup phpmyadmin on my ubuntu 11.04 server and keep getting 404 errors. I've added the include to my apache.conf file but still no luck. can anyone help me out?
[15:02] <Xtreme> coz plugin installer is getting downloaded and installed fine
[15:03] <Xtreme> but the main flash archive is unable to be downloaded
[15:03] <Pici> intelligentfool: all you need to do is make a symlink from /etc/apache2/conf.d/ to point at /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf and then reload apache.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: if you extract that and put the .so file in your browser's plugins folder it will be used
[15:03] <intelligentfool> Pici, i've already done that as well
[15:04] <Xtreme> ActionParsnip: tried that too. extracted .so file, copied all /usr files to resp folder
[15:04] <Xtreme> no joy
[15:04] <greenit> Pici, can i install apt-cacher-ng on the server for example and update the other computers through it then?
[15:04] <Pici> greenit: yes.
[15:04] <greenit> Pici, good, thats what i wanted, thx :)

[15:05] <Pici> greenit: I have squid-deb-proxy setup on my network, as it uses avahi to automatically change the settings on my laptop so I don't need to make changes manually when I'm not at home.
[15:06] <Xtreme> can anyone tell me location of ./flashplugin-installer?
[15:06] <Xtreme> i will manually try to run it
[15:06] <intelligentfool> Pici, any other suggestions? :(
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: what browser do you use?
[15:07] <Xtreme> firefox
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: you only need the .so
[15:07] <Pl3nar1us> hello all
[15:07] <Pici> intelligentfool: what url are you trying to load it with? (feel free to obsfucate the domain if its publically facing)
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: run:  mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins   then copy the file to that folder#
[15:07] <intelligentfool> mydomain.com/phpmyadmin
[15:07] <Xtreme> ac okay doing it
[15:08] <intelligentfool> the folder isn't in my /var/www/ but i'm assuming the symlink takes care of that no?
[15:08] <Pici> intelligentfool: it should.
[15:08] <Pici> intelligentfool: are there any errors in /var/log/apache2/ ?
[15:08] <intelligentfool> let me double/triple check the symlink then
[15:09] <intelligentfool> yea, lots of "file does not exist"
[15:09] <intelligentfool> guess my symlink is borked
[15:09] <Xtreme> time to see if it works
[15:10] <Xtreme> ActionParsnip: cool, it works
[15:10] <Xtreme> look like i was pasting it in wrong folder
[15:11] <Xtreme> i was putting it in /usr folder

[15:14] <MonkeyDust> cosmicfires  try alacarte
[15:14] <intelligentfool> Pici, "ls -ll /etc/apache2/conf.d/" shows "phpmyadmin.conf -> ../../phpmyadmin/apache.conf", is that not right?
[15:14] <veebull> Pici, got it, thanks!
[15:14] <Pici> intelligentfool: thats right.  And the www-data user can read the file?
[15:15] <cosmicfires> alacarte isn't installed and it wants to install a bunch of gnome stuff I installed xfce to get away from gnome 3
[15:15] <intelligentfool> Pici, stupid question…. how do i check? :)
[15:15] <Pici> intelligentfool: Just paste the full output of ls -ll for that file.
[15:17] <recon_tv> hi all, got a web cam that wont work in xubuntu , it's working in my ubuntu 10.04 lts though, cant remember if i installed anything on the 10.04 rig . any suggestions? here is the output of lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/934062/
[15:17] <intelligentfool> Pici, you mean from where the symlink is or the actual real file?
[15:17] <intelligentfool> you can't ls a file, right? :)
[15:18] <Pici> intelligentfool: the actual file, not the symlink. sure you can.
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> recon_tv: which release of Xubuntu?
[15:19] <recon_tv> ActionParsnip: 11.04 I believe
[15:19] <intelligentfool> so in this case the real file is the ../../myphpadmin/apache.conf right?
[15:19] <intelligentfool> cause i'm not sure where that actually is
[15:19] <Pici> intelligentfool: Its in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> recon_tv  what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd
[15:19] <fcb> emergency, I need help. a question of life and death, if not worse.

[15:20] <ActionParsnip> recon_tv: did you try it in cheese?
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> fcb: hardly life and death

[15:22] <ActionParsnip> recon_tv: does it work in a Precise liveCD?
[15:23] <Pici> intelligentfool: You installed phpmyadmin from the package repositories, right?
[15:23] <recon_tv> ActionParsnip: no idea
[15:23] <zipatei> today is the last day for bugfixes right?
[15:23] <intelligentfool> yea, i even tried running the script again to make sure i checked the apache tab
[15:24] <zipatei> How late can send bugfix program today?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> recon_tv: I'd try it, just to test
[15:24] <intelligentfool> I just took over a site and moved it to a new sever, so setting up the database is the last piece left (i think/hope)
[15:25] <dackyshawn> u took over a site? like legally?
[15:25] <recon_tv> hmm, problem is how do i test it on a live CD, there is no veccam software
[15:25] <intelligentfool> dackyshawn, haha, yes :)

[15:33] <ratcheer> IboS: Yes, that looks bad.
[15:33] <ratcheer> IboS: Does your system have firmware for that card?
[15:34] <IboS> iunno
[15:34] <IboS> lsmod ?
[15:34] <ratcheer> Try looking at Realtek's web site and see if you can find firmware and driver.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> IboS: dmesg | grep -i firm    will show what is going on
[15:35] <afidegnum> I have cheap and reliable hosting spaces. and I need some partners to help sell the spaces I have a nice deal for you if interrested,

[15:36] <IboS> Oo
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> IboS: thats good, no warnings or errors about firmware :)
[15:37] <IboS> well
[15:37] <IboS> let's be more precise
[15:37] <IboS> i've too network cards actually
[15:37] <IboS> one integrated which works well
[15:38] <IboS> and a pci one
[15:38] <IboS> ifconfig returns only the integrated one
[15:42] <IboS> sudo lshw -C network
[15:42] <IboS> returns the integrated one too
[15:43] <IboS> where to check if my card is supported ?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> IboS: use the product kline which identifies the chip, use the name to find guides
[15:47] <ratcheer> ibos: There is no Linux driver on the Realtek web site. http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=6&PFid=6&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#RTL8100B%28L%29/RTL8100C%28L%29/RTL8101L/RTL8139C%28L%29%3Cbr%3ERTL8139C%28L%29+/RTL8139D%28L%29/RTL8100%28L%29%3Cbr%3ERTL8130/RTL8139B%28L%29

[16:06] <xz> hi
[16:06] <[necr0n]> hello
[16:06] <xskydevilx> Hi, I'm on Lucid and when I try installing something, I get an error saying to close other programs like synaptic update manager etc, but I don't have those open. Any help?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: more than likely yes, if it means the user needs no passwords to do anything
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | xskydevilx
[16:07] <xz> http://files.lesiuk.net/android/ <-- when of the best video tutorial about writing apps for android
[16:07] <xz> *one
[16:07] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, there is a pw on the acct, just added user to group nopasswdlogin
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: what does the group do?
[16:08] <bazhang> xz, what does that have to do with ubuntu support
[16:08] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, htpc in the living room
[16:09] <|Anthony|> i'd actually like to make the acct have limited permissions, like maybe read and execute only
[16:09] <ratcheer> IboS: There are tons of bugs and questions on Launchpad for RTL8139
[16:10] <|Anthony|> actually, is there a way to limit the number of active logins a user may have?
[16:10] <|Anthony|> hmm...
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: you still haven't said what the group does
[16:12] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, it runs xbmc --standalone from lightdm login
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: you can add that to your startup, it doesn't need a group
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> IboS: did you try blacklisting 8139cp
[16:14] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, nopasswdlogin is an existing group, i added the xbmc user to the group. The user is able to start xbmc in standalone mode, de not needed
[16:17] <Seaseal> xz: are they narrated? and English?
[16:18] <Rodrigo> hi
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: I thought xbmc added itself to the options at login...
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: so instead of Gnome etc, you can log into the xbmc session etc
[16:20] <|Anthony|> yes, thats correct
[16:20] <|Anthony|> but the account you use to access the standalone xbmc still has a pw on it
[16:21] <Rodrigo> how can i change my theme in ubuntu
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: why not configure autologin in lightdm and have the default user and session set...

[17:25] <xskydevilx> Hi there! I'm having problems with opening Minecraft in Ubuntu. I installed both the Sun JRE, and Open JDK (JRE) but they both simply don't open the minecraft.jar.
[17:25] <bader> sara
[17:26] <bader> hello to all
[17:26] <wad> How do I launch a new instance of the terminal program, from the command-line?
[17:26] <i7c> wad: what terminal are you using?
[17:27] <johwir> wad: x-terminal-emulator
[17:27] <CoJaBo> Any idea what this means? :  => /dev is using 100.0% of 1008MB
[17:27] <wad> GNOME TErminal 3.0.1
[17:27] <i7c> ok, solved ^^
[17:27] <koshy> xskydevilx, did you try running it in consolde mode ? like "java -jar minecraft.jar" ?
[17:27] <i7c> wad: so you can either do what johwir said, or type gnome-terminal
[17:27] <beandog> wad: look at running screen or tmux or byobu, might make life easier
[17:27] <wad> i7c, ah, okay.
[17:27] <xskydevilx> koshy, It said "Invalid or corrupt jarfile minecraft.jar".
[17:27] <beandog> wad: nohup gnome-terminal &
[17:27] <wad> beandog, I'm a bug screen fan.
[17:27] <beandog> wad: or ctl shift alt t
[17:27] <xskydevilx> But it works fine on Windows.
[17:28] <koshy> xskydevilx, then I believe the error message is self explanatory ;)
[17:28] <beandog> or is it ctl shift t
[17:28] <OerHeks> !dvb
[17:28] <beandog> yah, 2nd one.
[17:28] <wylde> johwir: anything on this page useful to you? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
[17:28] <xskydevilx> koshy, It works fine in Windows.
[17:28] <wad> I've always got multiple tabs of my terminal open, but sometimes I want a new one. :)
[17:28] <koshy> xskydevilx, make sure that the JRE you're running is the Sun/Oracle JRE
[17:28] <i7c> wad: i bound a shortcut to my terminal. i press super-t and i can make 200 windows per second :)
[17:29] <xskydevilx> koshy, How do I check, again?
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> wad: tried guake?
[17:29] <wad> i7c, I do one better than that: I have mine set up to launch whenever I log in. :)
[17:29] <koshy> xskydevilx, I'd say "which java", then "ls -l <the file name it tells you>"
[17:29] <wad> koshy: ls -l `which java`
[17:29] <uttrokad> good evening. i have a bit of a noob question. I need to reset a users locale on a headless system. can some one point me to a resource which explains how to do this from the command line?

[17:30] <baderbof0> hi

[17:31] <xskydevilx> koshy, Seems to be fine.
[17:31] <baderbof0> im bader form kuwait
[17:31] <baderbof0> about u
[17:31] <koshy> xskydevilx, try checking the version and compare to the version of the JRE you have in windows, just to be sure it's not old or something
[17:31] <bazhang> !ot | baderbof0
[17:32] <xskydevilx> koshy, yep, both running ver 6. I hate when something like this happens.
[17:32] <CoJaBo> ..its possible to write files into /dev? o_O
[17:32] <koshy> xskydevilx, so do I :/ Are you sure the file didn't get corrupted when you transfered it to linux, or something like that ?
[17:33] <koshy> xskydevilx, I used to run minecraft on linux, I think they provide a shell script or something, I can check if you want
[17:33] <xskydevilx> koshy, if you have free time, please.
[17:33] <koshy> xskydevilx, sure, hold a second
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> CoJaBo: you can but it's tempfs afaik
[17:35] <milen8204> Hello all, I am trying to burn one CD whit Brasero more then hour :) is it normal ? I am using Brasero for the first time.
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: Could try xfburn :)
[17:36] <koshy> xskydevilx, nothing fancy; for the server I just use /usr/javajdk/bin/java -Xmx1288M -Xms512M -jar minecraft_server.jar where the -Xm? just allocate some memory
[17:36] <CoJaBo> ActionParsnip: Yeh, I found a 1GB /def/sdf file. No clue how it got there, the login screen was complaining about /dev being full
[17:36] <koshy> xskydevilx, /usr/javajdk is a local path, not a standard ubuntu path
[17:36] <auronandace> milen8204: how big is the iso? is it a dvd? how slow are you burning?
[17:37] <xskydevilx> koshy, I guess I can try running it like that.
[17:37] <koshy> xskydevilx, yea but make sure to change the /usr/javajdk to match your Sun JDK ou JRE installation path
[17:38] <milen8204> auronandace, I am trying to burn Lubuntu.iso on CD 700 MB, on 10x speed
[17:38] <auronandace> milen8204: that shouldn't take an hour
[17:39] <xskydevilx> koshy, Actually, you know what I did? I downloaded an old minecraft.jar file and forced the update and it ran it then. Yeah, it's a weird way to do it but it works.
[17:39] <milen8204> auronandace, I thing so but I am on creating a sum
[17:41] <xskydevilx> koshy, Though one thing to note, I think I could set like how much memory java could use in Windows using some parameters. Have you ever done that?
[17:41] <koshy> xskydevilx, this is precisely what the -Xmx (max memory) and -Xms (minimum memory I believe) do
[17:42] <koshy> xskydevilx, the examples I gave are good for my particular world and server, you mileage may vary; if you have lots of ram you can increase them a bit, I remember I was a bit short
[17:42] <xskydevilx> koshy, I've got 3 gigs. How much do you think I should give it?
[17:43] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip, nothing worked...
[17:44] <koshy> xskydevilx, I'd say (pure "magic ball"-type guess) Xms1024M and Xmx2048M assuming your computer doesn't have to do much in parallel
[17:44] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip, isn't there some unique method to configure modems ..
[17:44] <koshy> xskydevilx, the best is to try
[17:44] <xskydevilx> koshy, will do.
[17:45] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip, let the method be a complex one but it should work!!
[17:45] <PatrickC> how would I go about installing 11.10 on an external HDD?
[17:47] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip, nothing worked...?
[17:49] <xtgyal> hi "flashplugin-installer" seems to have done an automated update and now it won't work in Chromium or Firefox, I'm on Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot
[17:49] <xtgyal> I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but still doesn't work
[17:49] <thunder1212> xtgyal, go to adobe website and download from there
[17:50] <xtgyal> it wants me to download a tar.gz where do I unpack it?
[17:50] <thunder1212> i need help
[17:50] <xskydevilx> koshy, Works like a charm! Only if the FPS is better. How much are you getting?
[17:51] <xtgyal> I can select between YUM for Linux, tar.gz, or .rpm
[17:51] <koshy> xskydevilx, I honestly don't remember, I wasn't playing at all :) I only set the server up for a few friends, but I never really played; I remember minecraft is a resource hog
[17:51] <thunder1212> xtgyal, anywhere u feel like.. then copy the libflashlyer.so
[17:51] <xtgyal> .tar.gz is the best of the three?
[17:52] <xskydevilx> I'm getting around 30-45fps, koshy.
[17:52] <koshy> xskydevilx, this looks okay, isn't it ?
[17:52] <xskydevilx> koshy, I was hoping to get 70 but I guess that's just dreaming on Linux.
[17:52] <thunder1212> xtgyal, copy the libflashplayer.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[17:52] <xtgyal> hold on a minute
[17:52] <koshy> xskydevilx, I don't see why linux would be slower than windows
[17:53] <thunder1212> xtgyal, this is to be done considering you have removed the previous installs
[17:53] <xskydevilx> koshy, yeah, I'm just messing around. I'm getting 55-60 whereas on Windows I'd get 30 fps :)
[17:54] <thunder1212> i have some problem and i need help
[17:54] <koshy> thunder1212, go ahead and explain
[17:55] <thunder1212> koshy,  hi, i have a huawei ec 306 modem and its not being detected by network manager! i am using ubuntu 11.04 .
[17:55] <Roasted> Anybody ever customize Apache's directory listing before? Trying to get a grasp on how to do it, what files to edit, etc...
[17:55] <antajeet> hi i was a big fan of linux back in 2006-7 i left it because of driver support for my devices. Has the situation changed can u use windows drivers for printers graphics card basically use windows drivers in linux?
[17:56] <Roasted> antajeet, there's very little need to these days.
[17:56] <xtgyal> it won't let me paste, think its a permissions issue
[17:56] <koshy> thunder1212, please enter "lsusb" in a terminal and copy/paste the line about the huawei modem so that I can investigate
[17:56] <Roasted> antajeet, I haven't ever had the desire to use a windows driver in linux and I've used it since 2006.
[17:56] <thunder1212> xtgyal, yes you open a terminal and do sudo nautilus
[17:56] <Roasted> antajeet, that said, my scanner doesn't work in linux, but my scanner is also a lexmark that is worthy of nothing less than a garbage can.
[17:56] <gvo> antajeet: there are linux drivers for most devices today.
[17:56] <xtgyal> ok gimme a min
[17:57] <Pici> !gksudo | thunder1212 xtgyal
[17:57] <thunder1212> koshy, the id is 12d1:1505
[17:57] <koshy> thunder1212, I found this http://yuriytkach.blogspot.fr/2011/11/cdma-huawei-ubuntu-linux.html
[17:57] <auronandace> antajeet: any brands you are thinking of in particular?
[17:57] <gvo> antajeet: grab a recent live cd/dvd and see if it finds your devices.
[17:57] <koshy> thunder1212, I don't read russian but I think you can try what it seems to say
[17:57] <koshy> thunder1212, do you want me to explain the steps ?
[17:57] <thunder1212> xtgyal, follow as it says
[17:57] <nitroX_> xtgyal: try this, download .tar.gz file and run: sudo /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/install_plugin adobe-flashplugin.tar.gz
[17:57] <xtgyal> yes just a sec
[17:57] <antajeet> so u can't use win drivers in linux it hasn't changed yet
[17:58] <antajeet> well thx guys for the help
[17:58] <gvo> antajeet: Some wireless drivers with ndiswrapper.
[17:58] <auronandace> antajeet: maybe you don't understand the differences
[17:58] <koshy> thunder1212, I'm pretty sure it's a udev rule problem, also make sure you have the "option" kernel module installed
[17:58] <onoez_omg> i have a problem with dsniff package and compilation from stable or latest sources under my ubuntu, any help appreciated
[17:58] <gvo> antajeet: You don't need to run windows drivers.
[17:58] <thunder1212> koshy, yes pl explain the steps..
[17:58] <xtgyal> usr/lib/mozilla/plugins yes?
[17:58] <xtgyal> the .so file?
[17:59] <antajeet> what u mean?
[17:59] <thunder1212> koshy, whats option kernel modules
[17:59] <gvo> antajeet: there are native linux drivers for many if not most of the devices, printers, scanners, crts, etc.
[17:59] <auronandace> antajeet: windows is a completely different ecosystem compared to unix-like operating systems
[17:59] <xtgyal> ok I pasted the libflashplayer.so file
[17:59] <xtgyal> anything else?
[17:59] <thunder1212> xtgyal, yes
[18:00] <koshy> thunder1212, does your modem appears as a CD drive ?
[18:00] <antajeet> ok thx for the help
[18:00] <antajeet> bye
[18:00] <thunder1212> koshy, no
[18:00] <Robson92> hi everyone, could somebody help me with networking in ubuntu server? it suddenly stopped working and I have no idea what to do :/
[18:00] <thunder1212> xtgyal, now check whether its working..
[18:00] <gvo> auronandace: I don't think (s)he understood. or cared.
[18:00] <xtgyal> I am, just a min
[18:01] <koshy> thunder1212, please run (as root) the command on the website, starting with "echo" and ending with huawei1550.rules (everything on the same line, it's split in 3 lines on the website)
[18:01] <gvo> Robson92: Do you have console access?
[18:01] <auronandace> gvo: they say ignorance is bliss :)
[18:01] <gvo> auronandace: Yep
[18:01] <xtgyal> whoohoo!  I can watch /South Park/ again :-D
[18:01] <Robson92> gvo: yup
[18:01] <xtgyal> lol http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s02e02-cartmans-mom-is-still-a-dirty-slut
[18:01] <gvo> Is the ethernet device presente Robson92
[18:01] <gvo> present
[18:02] <xtgyal> works great, while I'm here, you know how to get PDF files to display within the browser?
[18:02] <Robson92> yup it is, I think so, ifconfig shows eth0 with proper mac
[18:02] <gvo> Robson92: OK good.  No IP adress?  R u using dhcp?
[18:02] <Robson92> but somehow it can't get configuration from dhcp
[18:03] <Robson92> and yes, i've tried static too
[18:03] <gvo> And no joy with static?
[18:03] <gvo> Do you have lights?
[18:03] <Robson92> no :( another computer works fine (under windows)
[18:03] <Xtreme> guys, to run a software under another user is sudo -u <username> <application> right?
[18:04] <thunder1212> koshy, the out put ::  http://pastebin.com/MnbTGNuJ
[18:04] <mefistoso> hey is there a way to stop ubuntu from locking the screen after some idle time? I need a command line solution since I want to do this for many users at the same time. Thanks.
[18:04] <gvo> Robson92: what do you mean by the "another computer works fine (under windows)"?
[18:04] <vignesh> hai !!!
[18:05] <Nine_9> Hey.. anyone tried the Digital PErsona SDK for Linux?
[18:05] <thunder1212> hi
[18:05] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, xfburn works well :Д
[18:05] <thunder1212> koshy,
[18:05] <Robson92> gvo: I mean that my router is fine, because another machine is connected to it
[18:05] <gvo> Swap cables
[18:06] <Areckx> I am trying to enable Japanese input on my 10.04.4 machine :: hold on, let me check for updates
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: i've never had a success with brasero. To me xfburn rocks hard :)
[18:06] <koshy> thunder1212, the idea is to create a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/45-huawei1550.rules that contains SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1505", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1505 --type option-zerocd"
[18:06] <thunder1212> koshy, there is no output..
[18:07] <thunder1212> koshy, ok..
[18:07] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, I thought that my DVD is broken :Д
[18:07] <milen8204> :D
[18:08] <thunder1212> koshy, should i create  the file there and the lines
[18:08] <Xtreme> ActionParsnip: am i right bro/
[18:08] <thunder1212> koshy, all in one line
[18:08] <Robson92> gvo: still not working, should I try once again using static ?
[18:08] <thunder1212> Xtreme, ActionParsnip is not here..
[18:08] <gvo> Did you swap cables? Robson92
[18:09] <Xtreme> hmm, thunder1212 can u look at my question then?
[18:09] <Robson92> gvo: yes I did
[18:09] <koshy> thunder1212, yes, all in one line in the file
[18:09] <gvo> Robson Did you restart networking?
[18:10] <thunder1212> Xtreme, http://www.gidforums.com/t-740.html
[18:10] <Robson92> gvo: you mean service or router
[18:10] <Robson92> ?
[18:10] <gvo> service
[18:10] <Areckx> ok no new updates
[18:10] <Robson92> gvo: I restarted whole system
[18:11] <gvo> Robson92: And the windows box is still working I assume.
[18:11] <Robson92> yup
[18:11] <Roasted> Anybody ever customize Apache's directory listing before? Trying to get a grasp on how to do it, what files to edit, etc...
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: not sure, man su    will show
[18:11] <thunder1212> koshy, the file is already there, may be got created when i entered the command..
[18:11] <gvo> Robson92: anything funny in dmesg?  I'm thinking you're ethernet port might be toast.
[18:12] <Xtreme> thanks guys got the ans
[18:12] <thunder1212> koshy, what next..
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: could ask in #httpd or #apache   whichever it is
[18:12] <gvo> Robson92: And you can try static agin too.
[18:13] <Robson92> gvo: I'm new in ubuntu server, checking dmesg now
[18:13] <gvo> Robson92:  Do you see any lights on the port?
[18:13] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip, hi
[18:13] <marque> I've recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 and am having problems with phpmyadmin.  Can anyone here help me with that?
[18:14] <Robson92> gvo: yup, on router and on mobo integrated card too
[18:14] <Tigerboy> anyone know of a good Ipad program-- that will allow one to place books etc on the ipad
[18:14] <koshy> thunder1212, ok, try removing and reinserting your usb key
[18:14] <celthunder> marque: whats the problem
[18:14] <jrib> Tigerboy: this is #ubuntu...
[18:15] <celthunder> Tigerboy: ftp apache ssh dropbox
[18:15] <gvo> Robson92: what IP address are you using?  Do you set broacast and netmask?  Are you setting the ip  via the ifconfig command?
[18:16] <marque> Everything seemed to install fine when I installed the LAMP and then phpmyadmin, the phpmyadmin GUI looks normal but will not create a new database, its as if the php file is missing
[18:16] <Robson92> gvo: IP address is reserved for the MAC; I do; nope - via /etc/network/interfaces
[18:17] <gvo> Robson92: You might want to do it manually via ifconfig just for testing.
[18:17] <Robson92> gvo: I'll try run another linux on this machine to check if hardware is fine
[18:17] <gvo> OK boot a live cd if you can.
[18:17] <Areckx> I am trying to enable Japanese input on my 10.04.4 machine :: hold on, let me check for updates
[18:18] <gvo> Since it's a server, I assume it's not a laptop.
[18:18] <rebe> what "sticky edges" in displays do ?
[18:18] <celthunder> rebe: the edge of nearby windows lock together probably...though that would be a tiling wm...
[18:18] <Robson92> gvo: it's a standard desktop machine but running ubuntu server (not laptop)
[18:19] <gvo> Robson92: Just checking...
[18:19] <gvo> Robson92: Stranger things have happened. ;)
[18:19] <georgelappies> hi all, hope everyone is well. Is there a way to reinstall system packages and tell them to replace any current config files with the defaults ?
[18:19] <Robson92> gvo: sure :D
[18:20] <thunder1212> koshy, i even restarted the system.. nothing workd
[18:20] <Areckx> georgelappies::  I am also interested about apt-get update
[18:21] <supernova> hello
[18:21] <thunder1212> hello
[18:21] <Areckx> Does apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade even download any new packages?
[18:21] <supernova> i need some help if someone can help me out
[18:21] <Areckx> I can see download %
[18:21] <Areckx> during update
[18:21] <thunder1212> supernova, ask..
[18:21] <Areckx> I read the ubuntu doc but it didn't explain the concept to me
[18:21] <georgelappies> Areckx: AFAIK it does download and install...
[18:22] <Areckx> georgelappies::  so it updates my adobe?
[18:22] <gvo> Areckx: If there's anything to upgrade to.
[18:23] <thunder1212> supernova, what happened..
[18:23] <auronandace> !info flashplugin-installer | Areckx
[18:23] <deb0> Why is it so important to require authencitation for a normal desktop when installing software. Removing I undertand.
[18:24] <auronandace> Areckx: that is the latest flash in the repos
[18:25] <gvo> deb0: to avoid some malicious user from installing something nasty
[18:25] <thunder1212> supernova,
[18:25] <celthunder> deb0: well do you want some idiot installing a rootkit to your system?
[18:25] <Debro> `how to find command for chromium browser..?
[18:25] <deb0> gvo: but the repos should offer some protection. Maybe it's hard to sperate that.
[18:26] <celthunder> Debro: what? should just be chromium....
[18:26] <auronandace> Debro: it should be: chromium-browser
[18:26] <auronandace> !tab | Debro
[18:26] <howso> I really need some advice on my rapidly filling partition, how and what to clean up in synaptic ...
[18:26] <auronandace> celthunder: chromium is the command for the game
[18:27] <gvo> deb0: OK but what if you don't want someone to put a program on your system?
[18:27] <supernova> Ruby installation problem
[18:27] <Areckx> kanji
[18:27] <Areckx> eeee
[18:27] <deb0> gvo: then enable password, but I believe for many desktop users this not an issue.
[18:27] <thunder1212> supernova, elaborate the problem
[18:28] <gvo> deb0 but Linux is not only used on desktops.
[18:28] <deb0> ubuntu is, isn't it?
[18:28] <celthunder> deb0: no
[18:28] <Areckx> I want to do everything in terminal ideally
[18:28] <auronandace> howso: usually a good place to start is removing older kernels
[18:28] <Areckx> it has the fewest errors if done correctly
[18:28] <gvo> deb0 the good thing about Linux is that if you don't like the way it works you have the source so you can change it.
[18:29] <supernova> thanks thunder1212  for hearing me out
[18:29] <celthunder> Areckx: good where else would you want to do stuff?
[18:29] <deb0> gvo: OK
[18:29] <supernova> i will be just back in 5 minutes
[18:29] <Areckx> gvo::  I:ve always thought that was a cool feature. I want to learn more about it.
[18:29] <sniperwolv> I was told to come here I am a noob so feel free to bash away but my windows raid 0 setup some how got fucked and I was told to get an ubuntu live cd and come here for help
[18:29] <celthunder> deb0: you can allow anyone and everyone to install sw on your machine no questions asked if you want...
[18:29] <gvo> Areckx: Modifying Linux?
[18:29] <Areckx> well there are applications that are streamlined for GUI interface.
[18:29] <deb0> celthunder: OK, didn't know that.
[18:29] <fagju> hey hou, does anybody know if it's possible to use internal and external speakers in a laptop?
[18:29] <deb0> thanks
[18:29] <celthunder> sniperwolv: whats fucked about it sw raid or hardware....
[18:30] <wylde> !language
[18:30] <celthunder> fagju: depends on the laptop
[18:30] <sniperwolv> sw the P55LE Intel
[18:30] <gvo> fagju: All mine cut the interal out when I plug in an external speaker.
[18:30] <gvo> internal.
[18:30] <Areckx> So while it would be ideal to configure the program in terminal, the program runs most comfortably in GUI interface
[18:30] <sniperwolv> and all of a sudden last night I got a bsod and the error was ntfs.sys and know it says my raid failed
[18:30] <Areckx> gvo::  yeah, I would like to create custom applications.
[18:30] <fagju> celthunder: so, you think I would need to make a hardware hack?
[18:30] <celthunder> fagju: gvo you can force it to play out both on most if you want...default is cut one out though
[18:31] <Areckx> gvo::  For example...
[18:31] <gvo> Areckx: That's a big field.
[18:31] <celthunder> fagju: probably not what have you tried so far
[18:31] <fagju> celthunder: is there a software setting/config I could try=?
[18:31] <Areckx> gvo::  I would like to be able to run a program natively under ubuntu 10.04 that was only designed for windows xp
[18:32] <fagju> celthunder: haven't tried anything so far, wouldn't know where to start :D
[18:32] <gvo> Areckx do you have the source for it?
[18:32] <celthunder> fagju: what are you using to play audio and what back end
[18:32] <Areckx> gvo::  that is, only if there is no equal or greater alternative already compiled for linux
[18:32] <auronandace> !appdb | Areckx
[18:32] <fagju> celthunder: i use VLC and backend would probably be pulseaudio
[18:32] <Areckx> gvo::  the source is the .bin or the converted .exe?
[18:32] <celthunder> auronandace: he said natively
[18:32] <gvo> Areckx: Neither.
[18:32] <_Marcus> celthunder: He would have to create the application again
[18:32] <akem> Areckx, waist of time if it was really only designed for Win32, use Wine or VirtualBox
[18:33] <Areckx> auronandace::  I was reffering to running it as if it were compiled for linux, not under a virtual environment. I have had many proiblems with WINE in the past.
[18:33] <celthunder> _Marcus: i know im loling at him privately
[18:33] <gvo> Areckx: the original program source would be required.
[18:33] <deb0> Areckx: virtualbox is really nice too
[18:33] <auronandace> Areckx: wine isn't a virtual environment, its a compatibility layer
[18:33] <akem> even with the source, good luck porting Win32 API stuff.
[18:33] <akem> Wine FTW.
[18:33] <gvo> Areckx: like C or C++ or VB or FORTRAN or ???
[18:34] <Areckx> akem::  why is it a waste of time exactly?
[18:34] <fagju> celthunder: would I need to change something in pulseaudio?
[18:34] <celthunder> fagju: try opening vlc setting an output then setting another output in another program (aka speakers for one heaphones another)
[18:34] <Areckx> akem::  I  may have to answer this is in essay form.
[18:34] <fagju> celthunder: how can I set an output'?
[18:34] <gvo> Areckx 'cause you might have to rewrite it from scratch and if it's something like MS Office it'll take you many years.
[18:34] <sniperwolv> so what do I need to do?
[18:34] <celthunder> fagju: btw i would use mplayer...vlc is known to take over your audio
[18:35] <Areckx> deb0 what are the major compare/contrast points between WINE and VirtualBox?
[18:35] <celthunder> fagju: pavucontrol is what i use
[18:35] <akem> Areckx, Windows programs are usually using non portable code/API calls.
[18:35] <fagju> celthunder: ok cool, thx
[18:35] <Areckx> gvo::  I was reffering to a more open source or less-encrypted application.
[18:35] <celthunder> Areckx: deb0 wine and virtualbox are not competitors they do 2 very different things
[18:35] <Robson92> gvo: interesting... under livecd network still doesn't work... any other idea except dead network card / something wrong with router ?
[18:35] <akem> i wouldn't waist time trying to modify/build for n*x.
[18:36] <Areckx> celthunder::  that:s why I was asking. I don:t know the concept as of yet.
[18:36] <auronandace> Areckx: virtualbox emulates hardware, wine provide a compatibility layer for windows api, 2 entirely different approaches
[18:36] <Areckx> and why is my keyboard not typing the apostrophe?
[18:36] <Nach0z> push the button HARDER
[18:36] <Nach0z> groundpound that sucker
[18:36] <Areckx> Nach0z::  lmao
[18:36] <akem> if Wine doesn't work for you then a VM will do it.
[18:36] <Areckx> Nach0z::  like Banjoe-Kazooie
[18:36] <gvo> Robson92: Hm don't have a clue unless there's a firmware switch that got off somehow.  Look at your bios settings.
[18:36] <celthunder> Robson92: theres a lot of things that could be wrong
[18:36] <Nach0z> exactly
[18:36] <akem> then you win, save time and energy.
[18:37] <celthunder> akem: thats not always true vms cant do everything...
[18:37] <Areckx> auronandace::  ok I think I see, but what is a compatibility layer exactly?
[18:37] <Areckx> and where can I find additional documentation?
[18:37] <celthunder> Areckx: google?
[18:37] <akem> celthunder, maybe not advanced hardware emulation 3D etc...but almost everything?
[18:37] <auronandace> Areckx: perhaps ask in #winehq
[18:37] <Areckx> celthunder::  I mean a single document I can read for exactly 4 hours
[18:38] <gvo> lol
[18:38] <auronandace> Areckx: we won't write an essay for you
[18:38] <Areckx> auronandace::  the reason I am not considering using wine or any kind of virtual environment is because of errors
[18:38] <Areckx> auronandace::  I:m saying something that you know of or a friend knows of that they have read in the past
[18:38] <celthunder> Areckx: you could spend 4 hours reading and rereading how to ask a question the smart way.  may get you better answers
[18:39] <Areckx> auronandace::  such as a book or article that really helped
[18:39] <Areckx> celthunder::  I:m interested in reading that
[18:39] <auronandace> Areckx: to learn about wine perhaps you could read the wine documentation...
[18:39] <Areckx> celthunder::  I want to achieve proficiency with linux so I can work effectively in an office
[18:40] <Areckx> auronandace::  I don:t want to use wine
[18:40] <auronandace> Areckx: funnily enough the wine documentation could be found at their winehq website
[18:40] <Areckx> auronandace::  I would like to be able to run a winxp application as if it were native to linux
[18:40] <celthunder> akem: 3d usb is almost always laggy/slower to register, more advanced processor functions are not always available...depends on the type of vm.
[18:40] <auronandace> Areckx: wine is about as native as you can get
[18:41] <celthunder> auronandace: that would have required googling and reading for about 3 seconds to realise that.
[18:41] <Areckx> auronandace::  I have had many problems with it in the past
[18:41] <auronandace> Areckx: unless the application was designed as cross platform
[18:41] <celthunder> sniperwolv: whats wrong with it
[18:41] <akem> celthunder, also depends of the actual machine you run the VM on, and OS i guess.
[18:41] <Areckx> celthunder::  I have done the googling thing many years
[18:41] <wylde> this discussion is getting way !ot, maybe move it to #ubuntu-offtopic? ...just sayin'
[18:41] <Areckx> celthunder::  have you ever spent three days without an answer?
[18:42] <auronandace> Areckx: i don't think you are listening to our answers
[18:42] <akem> i remember USB wireless on VM without issue.
[18:42] <gvo> lol I've spend a lifetime without an answer.
[18:42] <Areckx> wylde::  I really am just chatting, is that the place to idle chat?
[18:42] <mac> Hi, could anyone explain what this command is doing? It's for a git/gitolite setup, but I'm not sure of what it's exactly doing, would just like to get an basic understanding of it :)
[18:42] <mac> sudo -u git -H sh -c "PATH=/home/git/bin:$PATH; gl-setup -q /home/git/gitlab.pub"
[18:42] <wylde> Areckx: yes
[18:42] <auronandace> Areckx: do you understand the difference between windows and unix-like system architecture?
[18:42] <celthunder> Areckx: yes, at which point i ask and when i get a suggestion i research it for another 3 days before asking 20 more idiotic questions
[18:42] <Areckx> auronandace::  I am, I would just like to know why I should use WINE
[18:43] <wylde> !ot | Areckx
[18:43] <gvo> mac are you sure?
[18:43] <auronandace> Areckx: because wine is designed to be used for exactly what you are asking for: running windows apps natively on linux
[18:43] <celthunder> Areckx: what does this program you are looking at installing do
[18:43] <mac> sure about what?
[18:43] <gvo> That command line mac
[18:44] <supernova> some one help me with ruby installation
[18:44] <supernova> please please
[18:44] <wylde> !details | supernova
[18:44] <supernova> i have been trying one thing from yesterday
[18:44] <gvo> mac that's not going to work.  sudo -u <username> <command> is the format.  You're either missing the command or the user name.
[18:44] <supernova> i m running ubuntu 11.10
[18:45] <supernova> i installed ruby following all the details which i was suppose to do
[18:45] <celthunder> gvo: mac i think you need git twice there judging from the home dir
[18:45] <supernova> and after completing it worked also
[18:45] <supernova> and after i logged out and logged in again
[18:45] <supernova> it says  The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:
[18:45] <celthunder> gvo: mac  besides that wont work anyway...you have 2 commands...sudo will only run the first..
[18:46] <supernova> this is the problem i am facing
[18:46] <gvo> celthunder: I think you're right.
 <celthunder> What it's doing, specifcially, at the end, after its run gl-setup
[18:46] <Daulity> hi
[18:46] <Robson92> gvo: ok, it seems that router causes problems
[18:46] <Daulity> what could be the blame for this? Autostarting VPN 'server'
[18:46] <gvo> Robson92: That's a start.
[18:46] <sniperwolv> what can I do to recover files from my hdd? what live  version is recommended
[18:46] <celthunder> Daulity: your vpn program
[18:47] <Daulity> yea
[18:47] <wylde> supernova: what method did you use to install ruby? Was it from the repos? Or did you use a ppa or compile from source?
[18:47] <celthunder> sniperwolv: dd?
[18:47] <sniperwolv> yea
[18:47] <Robson92> gvo: that's almost solution :)
[18:47] <Daulity> but how do i find out what could be the blame within the program/any files?
[18:47] <gvo> mac it probably won't run the second command correctly.
[18:47] <sniperwolv> I need to do that
[18:47] <celthunder> gvo: mac or the first
[18:47] <supernova> RVM
[18:47] <sniperwolv> how do I get to DD or use DD
[18:47] <gvo> Robson92: Do you have  another router?
[18:48] <celthunder> sniperwolv: open a terminal..
[18:48] <supernova> sudo apt get ruby 1.9.2
[18:48] <mac> but if I was to just run the last, on its own what would it do? I'm not sure of the last part :/
[18:48] <mirbot> my mouse is out of control
[18:48] <Blah1> hey all.  any preseed experts?
[18:48] <Areckx> auronandace::  Oh okay, thank you
[18:48] <sniperwolv> lol I have never used linux in my life thats why im here to get help
[18:48] <gvo> sniperwolv: dd can be dangerous.
[18:48] <mirbot> gahhh
[18:48] <mirbot> why is it moving on its own
[18:48] <Areckx> auronandace::  that was exactly the answer to my question, thank you.
[18:48] <Robson92> gvo: no but I'll try restarting dhcp on it and if it won't work i'll reboot router
[18:48] <auronandace> Areckx: what are you trying to run anyway?
[18:48] <sniperwolv> well my raid is already ruined so I might as well try and recover if I can
[18:48] <Areckx> auronandace::  for specifics, I will read the documentation, of course
[18:48] <wylde> !tab | supernova
[18:48] <celthunder> gvo: it should let him recover files...or at least get the data of them :)
[18:49] <Areckx> auronandace::  Nothing in particular, just want to know the concept
[18:49] <gvo> sniperwolv: Take a look at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
[18:49] <sniperwolv> ty
[18:49] <Areckx> auronandace::  I was actually thinking maybe Final Fantasy XI
[18:49] <celthunder> Robson92: have you tried ifconfig instead of using dhcp
[18:49] <supernova> ubottu:- so what i am supposed to do
[18:49] <auronandace> Areckx: i think that is platinum in the appdb
[18:49] <sniperwolv> I downloaded the ubuntu 11.10 desktop live cd can I use that to get to this DD?
[18:49] <Areckx> auronandace::  Fighterx 75smn 75blm 70pld 71rdm 70drg etc etc
[18:49] <gvo> Robson92: What brought you to the idea the router is the problem?
[18:50] <Robson92> celthunder: linux is not a problem
[18:50] <supernova> wylde:- is there a way to fix this
[18:50] <celthunder> Robson92: whats wrong with the router then? and what kind of router is it
[18:50] <gvo> sniperwolv: dd yes, I don't know if ddrescue is on there.
[18:50] <Robson92> gvo: because laptop (windows) can't get ip via dhcp too (only wireless works)
[18:50] <supernova> sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core curl libmysqlclient16-dev nodejs
[18:50] <supernova> i used this command
[18:50] <gvo> Robson92: Good point.  Power cycle the beast.
[18:50] <supernova> then used a command to install curl
[18:51] <rymate1234> hey
[18:51] <sniperwolv> yeah my brother told me to use a live cd to see if I can see/acess the files first then move on to DD
[18:51] <rymate1234> Simple question
[18:51] <rymate1234> I have a ubuntu server
[18:51] <celthunder> rymate1234: simple answer yellow
[18:51] <rymate1234> how to change the timezone via bash?
[18:51] <Robson92> celthunder: I'm checking that now. Standard for home users, not some kind of high-class stuff ;)
[18:52] <celthunder> rymate1234: date
[18:52] <wylde> supernova: the first command you said you used would have installed curl....
[18:52] <rymate1234> celthunder: thx
[18:52] <supernova> yes after that i installed RVM using curl
[18:52] <gvo> rymate1234: tzconfig maybe
[18:52] <supernova> sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
[18:52] <bodhi_zazen> rymate1234: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

[18:53] <supernova> then apt-get install ruby-rvm
[18:53] <gvo> rymate1234: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/tzconfig.8.html
[18:53] <celthunder> rymate1234: bazhang hmm man date showed date -s :/ hmm *updates self*
[18:54] <supernova> will check that out try and come back here again
[18:54] <celthunder> Robson92: awe :( try to get ddwrt or something on it...easier to work with
[18:54] <LukeNukem_> hey
[18:54] <LukeNukem_> isn't there a netbook edition?
[18:54] <LukeNukem_> can someone give me the link, i cant find it on the website
[18:54] <Roasted> Question - does anybody know what protocol I am to use if I use No-IP with ddclient on Ubuntu? It gives me several options, but researching the topic has come up with NoIP simply saying "we use an open protocol" but they never reference the name.
[18:55] <rymate1234> meh
[18:55] <gvo> LukeNukem_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR
[18:55] <rymate1234> says I don't have permissions
[18:55] <rymate1234> which is odd
[18:55] <wylde> supernova: alrighty, I probably won't be here, but in future support requests, try to be very clear what the problem is, what steps you took, and any errors you encountered. Try to keep it all on one line, if it's more than 3 lines, then break it up into multiple posts.
[18:55] <rymate1234> I run as root user
[18:55] <gvo> rymate1234: sudo
[18:55] <rymate1234> I run as root user
[18:55] <wylde> !enter | rymate1234
[18:55] <Robson92> celthunder: I have openwrt
[18:55] <Blah1> Roasted, i assume ddclient is just using dns protocol
[18:56] <celthunder> Robson92: hmm...then its not likely the router firmware thats bad at least
[18:56] <Roasted> Blah1, I wasn't sure what to answer with when I saw it. :(
[18:56] <gvo> rymate1234: what command is telling you that you don't have permission
[18:56] <Blah1> Roasted, you can always do a tcpdump to sniff and see which protocol
[18:56] <mbeierl> Is UNR still maintained?  I thought Unity was seeking to be the new replacement...
[18:56] <Blah1> i'm pretty sure dns just uses udp
[18:57] <celthunder> rymate1234: if you are root then you shoul really never get a permission error you cant override
[18:57] <sniperwolv> when I load this live cd what do I type in its all command promot
[18:57] <wylde> !root
[18:57] <Roasted> Blah1, udp? No... not that kind of protocol - http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/h/www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Enable-Pa.10-Oneiric-Ocelot-with-OpenDNS_86EA/504x264xopendns_oneiric_7_thumb.png.pagespeed.ic.28mK7-Fini.jpg
[18:57] <sniperwolv> and then what
[18:57] <celthunder> sniperwolv: mdam could probably help you with your raid
[18:57] <Robson92> celthunder: well... before changing to openwrt my tp-link had been crashing 5-10 times a day, now it has been running without reboot for almost 2 months
[18:58] <auronandace> mbeierl: unity replaced the netbook edition
[18:58] <celthunder> Robson92: yep :) sounds about right..
[18:58] <mac_> ok this is crazy, how do I reply back to someone specifically in a chat? Can't find a basic IRC guide with that info anywhere? :/
[18:58] <Blah1> Roasted, ah, i get what you're saying.  it's an app level 'protocol'
[18:58] <sniperwolv> whats mdam
[18:58] <sniperwolv> nvm
[18:58] <auronandace> !tab | mac_
[18:58] <wylde> !tab | mac_
[18:58] <sniperwolv> googled it
[18:58] <Roasted> Blah1, is that to say they'll all work and I have my own choice?
[18:58] <Roasted> Blah1, I took it as, I NEED to pick the proper one...
[18:58] <jhaddad> how do i figure out if a mounted drive is a sw raid?
[18:59] <Blah1> ya it's proprietary so i think u have to pick the right one to use w/ your ddns provider
[18:59] <gvo> mac_: Start the line with the nick.
[18:59] <celthunder> mac_: type the nick or /query or privmsg or msg if in telnet or raw its privmsg NICK message
[18:59] <jhaddad> someone set up a server on AWS and I don't know if they raided EBS
[18:59] <mbeierl> LukeNukem_, so the UNR link you were given is for the older versions.  The newer (11.10 onward) versions use unity which is already a netbook-friendly interface
[18:59] <marcosa> +i marcos
[18:59] <mac_> gvo Thanks
[18:59] <mac_> gvo: Thanks!
[18:59] <celthunder> mbeierl: you can use whatever ui you want in any version
[19:00] <gvo> LukeNukem_: You'll probably hate yourself if you install Unity.
[19:00] <zykotick9> jhaddad: if you type "mount" what are the devices associated with the filesystem in question?  sdX or somthing else?
[19:00] <gvo> mac_: Both work.
[19:00] <jhaddad> 19:00:44@SHARD3BILL1B-BILL1_LEGACY# mount
[19:00] <jhaddad> /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
[19:00] <jhaddad> none on /proc type proc (rw)
[19:00] <jhaddad> none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
[19:00] <jhaddad> none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
[19:00] <FloodBot1> jhaddad: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:00] <jhaddad> none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
[19:00] <jhaddad> none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
[19:01] <celthunder> jhaddad: pastebin
[19:01] <jhaddad> my bad.
[19:01] <mbeierl> celthunder, sure you can.  However, the UNR is not maintained for newer versions.  That's the point I was making.
[19:02] <jhaddad> i'm guessing /dev/mapper/vg--ebs--rightscale-lvol0 on /ebs type xfs (rw,noatime) is what i'd want to look at - would it mention a raid here?
[19:02] <celthunder> mbeierl:yeah...
[19:02] <casualx> in which file is the default gatway adress saved?/etc/hosts?
[19:02] <lostogre> casualx, /etc/network/interfaces
[19:03] <mbeierl> celthunder, :(
[19:03] <celthunder> jhaddad: looks like lvg....

[19:03] <Xtreme> guys, i need to isntall windows 7 for my sister.. but i dont want to loose ubuntu, and when i  will install windows 7, i wont be able to boot to ubuntu, so what i can do to recover the boot(grub)?
[19:03] <jrib> !grub | Xtreme
[19:03] <Andre_H> Am i right here to ask a question regarding 'Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4' ? It's about crti.o which is meanwhile in thumb mode, but used to be arm mode. How can i detect which  one i use from source level?
[19:04] <celthunder> Xtreme: you can readd the bootloader after you install windows ....
[19:04] <gvo> Xtreme: Be sure to not clobber the Linux partitions.
[19:04] <moto1> anyone know why virt-install from the archive.ubuntu.com servers stopped working for ubuntu 11.10? the exact command that worked for me 2-3 months ago now fails with a "ERROR    Error validating install location: Invalid install location: Opening URL http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/. failed."
[19:04] <lostogre> in precise, ubuntu-notifier-common stalls when trying to download adobe-flashplugin. What is the fixed?
[19:04] <lostogre> s/fixed/fix
[19:04] <celthunder> Andre_H: someone hasnt updated in a while lol
[19:04] <kitxa> Hi, I have 2 ubuntu computers and a LAN wire, how do I connect them using IPv6?
[19:04] <Andre_H> celthunder: why?
[19:04] <gvo> moto1 have you done a apt-get update recently?
[19:05] <moto1> it's a fresh install but i'll try
[19:05] <gvo> moto1: If it's fresh then that probably wont' do anything.
[19:06] <zykotick9> lostogre: reask in #ubuntu+!
[19:06] <gvo> moto1: You mentioned working a while ago.
[19:06] <zykotick9> lostogre: reask in #ubuntu+1
[19:06] <lostogre> zykotick9, thanks.
[19:06] <moto1> i think you gave me the clue, something is screwed up with my WAN connection
[19:07] <gvo> moto1: that might be a problem. :)
[19:08] <robertzaccour> would it be a better idea to install kde or kubuntu-desktop? I currently use Gnome-Shell.
[19:08] <moto1> haha yes, i was able to connect internally so i didn't think that was the issue, and 3 months ago i had a hell of a time finding the current working URL for the virt-install. i assumed it had changed again, and obviously i was wrong
[19:09] <Geodesical> Hi! I have been trying to use InkScape on my 11.10 system, but after about 15 minutes of use, the program freezes. I can minimize and move the window, but I cannot close it. Any help?
[19:09] <Robson92> gvo: thanks for help :) byebye
[19:09] <gvo> bye
[19:11] <Geodesical> Hello?
[19:13] <Geodesical> I do believe I've been ditched.
[19:14] <zykotick9> Geodesical: is the inkscape you are using from the default repository?  what graphics card are you using on this system?
[19:15] <Geodesical> Graphics Card, I am not sure. and I got InkScape by entering (sudo apt-get install inkscape) in the terminal.
[19:15] <zykotick9> Geodesical: do you know what pastebin is?  can you pastebin "apt-cache policy inkscape".  to find GFX card "lspci | grep -i vga"
[19:16] <Xtreme> does ubuntu have any defrager in it?
[19:16] <zykotick9> Xtreme: nope
[19:16] <zykotick9> Xtreme: what filesystem are you using?
[19:17] <Xtreme> can u suggest me one to defrag a windows partition? ext4, want to defrag a ntfs partition
[19:17] <moto1> gvo, thanks, hopefully next time i won't have such a dumb question
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: i'd only use Windows for that
[19:18] <Geodesical> zykotick9: Graphics Card: VGA compatible controller: Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Graphics controller (rev 04)
[19:19] <Xtreme> ActionParsnip: dont have windows installed right now.. formatted it.. its a ntfs storage partition :)
[19:19] <zykotick9> Geodesical: well, if it's intel - it's unlikely a graphics driver issue...
[19:20] <Xtreme> so was wondering is there any way i can do that through linux
[19:20] <jhaddad> celthunder: thank you.  just read up on pvdisplay / lvdisplay / vgdisplay, gives me everything I need
[19:21] <Geodesical> zykotick9: The graphics card runs PC games fine. The program just freezes. I can open other windows of InkScape, but they all stop after 15 or so minutes.
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: ntfs is propriarary to Microsoft. So any tool not made by Microsoft will be a best effort and due to the nature of defrag and what it does I'd only trust the official tools. If you have no Windows, why use ntfs?
[19:22] <zykotick9> Geodesical: so, the other part of my question - can you pastebin "apt-cache policy inkscape" for the channel?
[19:22] <zykotick9> !paste | Geodesical
[19:22] <jdhfr> ActionParsnip: because it is the most universal filesystem
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Geodesical: have you tested RAM health?
[19:22] <Xtreme> ActionParsnip: only one reason. sister :(
[19:22] <zykotick9> jdhfr: are you saying ntfs is the most universal filesystem?
[19:22] <Xtreme> her windows, her storage partitions, and her viruses
[19:23] <jdhfr> zykotick9: I just did
[19:23]  * nitroNix is back. "LiCe: It picks up chicks!"
[19:23] <bali> yeah the #c is not= functioning
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> jdhfr: fat16 is more universal. Amigas can read the filesystem. Doesn't mean it should be used
[19:24] <bali> I need to do a forward slash / in c
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Xtreme: so she uses it in a windows pc?
[19:24] <Geodesical> ActionParsnip: No, how would I do that?
[19:24] <jdhfr> fat16/32 aren't to today's standard. NTFS does
[19:24] <Xtreme> yes, she uses that partition to store her data.
[19:24] <jrib> bali: the channel is ##c but you need to be registered.  See ubottu's message
[19:24] <jrib> !register > bali
[19:24] <nitroNix> jdhfr: standard? MS standard  :D
[19:24] <Xtreme> same laptop.. just her 2 partitions, and my two partitions..
[19:25] <Geodesical> zykotick9: I do not know how to use pastebin... :-/
[19:25] <Xtreme> mine both ext4 and a swap (she doesnt know :D)
[19:25] <jdhfr> all standards are made by companies
[19:25] <zykotick9> Geodesical: it probably doesn't matter - don't worry about it (it probably default anyways...).  Well, hopefully someone else will have a suggestion - good luck.
[19:26] <Geodesical> zykotick9: Thanks!:-D
[19:26] <mbeierl> jdhfr, most USB sticks use FAT, not NTFS...  Are you talking about popularity, or ...?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> jd225: fat16/32 are accessible by more systems making it universal. You said nothing of standards. Ntfs is not standard either, it proprietary garbage. You'll find more systems use ext3 in the great scheme of things
[19:27] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: tab fail ;)  jdhfr ^^ see above
[19:27] <mbeierl> Say, ActionParsnip, is there still an upper limit on FAT?  What if I have a 1tb usb disk that I want to share between Linux, Mac and Windows...?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> D'oh. Fat fingers
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: max file size is 4gb. Not sure about partition size
[19:29] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip, ya, I was thinking about the partition...
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: i'm unsure of mac but if it can access ntfs the go that way due to robustness
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: if windows wasn't as junky as it is, it would be able to read ext based filesystems and you could use ext4 etc :-)

[19:53] <borillion> can I install a new os on a hard drive and run mdadm to assemble my old raid to get files off?

[19:54] <Jacruth> I'm trying to compile SDL and it says: error: asm/page.h: No such file or directory
[19:55] <jase_> Jacruth: you're missing something the compile needs in order to work..one of it's dependancies
[19:56] <blue_> Salut
[19:56] <Jacruth> jase_, do you know any cool way to upgrade or install SDL to >= 1.2.4?
[19:58] <jase_> Jacruth: sorry, no unless someone has a PPA set up already
[19:58] <Fizzik> is there usually any problems updating versions when a new version comes out like updating my 11.10 to 12.04
[19:59] <jrib> Fizzik: there isn't supposed to be...
[19:59] <zykotick9> Fizzik: but there OFTEN is...
[19:59] <ldiamond> well, I'd certainly hope there isn't supposed to be.
[19:59] <Pici> zykotick9: er.. I think many people would disagree with you there
[19:59] <jrib> I don't know about "often" or "usually" but of course bugs exist
[20:00] <ldiamond> Fizzik, The more "Standard" your system is, the less likely there will be issues
[20:00] <ldiamond> by "standard" I mean least customization done by you
[20:00] <zykotick9> Pici: the number of "regulars" here that recommend fresh installs seems to support my "often"
[20:01] <ldiamond> A fresh 11.10 will upgrade to 12.04 without problems usually
[20:01] <ldiamond> I doubt, you'll have a fresh install.
[20:01] <StepNjump> Hi, how to create a desktop link to a specific website by using the ln command please?
[20:01] <Fizzik> it just kind of sucks doing fresh installs every 6 months.. yea ill be trying it so yea
[20:01] <StepNjump> man ln
[20:01] <jrib> in any case why wouldn't you try the upgrade first...
[20:01] <ceti331_> i was expecting my 11.10 to upgrade and it isn't
[20:01] <sirriffsalot_> Hey guys! I'm trying to route flash-player videos through jack, but I can't get past the "make" stage of this guide: http://jackaudio.org/routing_flash thanks to this error "flashsupport.c:184:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated." Any ideas?
[20:01] <ldiamond> Fizzik, the best way is to install with a separate /home partition. That way you can keep all your stuff and change the OS completely
[20:01] <Fizzik> ceti331_: id want untill 12.04 is actually released
[20:02] <jrib> Fizzik: my current system once ran 5.10 and I've only done a fresh install once
[20:02] <ceti331_> ok :)
[20:02] <Fizzik> jrib: oh :P ok
[20:02] <botter> Hey guys. I just got hit by a ddos attack (that has stopped now). There are a few hundred failed ssh connection attempts to root from an IP in China, and one owned by ATT, but I'm looking for any logs that may help me figure out what happened
[20:02] <ldiamond> Fizzik, you can also stick with LTS releases and upgrade every two years
[20:02] <botter> with the ddos side.
[20:02] <zykotick9> ldiamond: or 5 years with 12.04
[20:02] <botter> I didn't have any tools set up. Does Ubuntu log any packet flood type things by default?
[20:02] <Fizzik> ldiamond: i think thats what im going to do
[20:02] <ceti331_> Ubuntu Unity is nice.. i dont know why it gets so much flak
[20:02] <ldiamond> zykotick9, yea I was referring to the time between release, i.e. upgrading when a new LTS comes out.
[20:03] <jrib> Fizzik: my advice would be to do the upgrade.  If you have an issue, stop by here for help :)  You do of course have backups anyway so worst case-scenario you do a fresh install
[20:03] <Fizzik> ceti331_: im more of a xfce or gnome fan
[20:03] <ldiamond> Though the separate /home partition is really useful
[20:03] <StepNjump> but I don't want to use the launcher
[20:03] <ceti331_> Here's what I like:- when you maximize, it does not waste screenspace
[20:03] <ceti331_> merging menu and titlebars works, IMO
[20:03] <Fizzik> i like the docks at the bottom thats why i love xfce
[20:04] <ceti331_> the one thing I DO miss though, is having a Desktop Thumbnail on the panel
[20:04] <Fizzik> ceti331_ yea it awesome
[20:05] <ceti331_> if unity had a single button per desktop - one click to get there - that would be a lot better. I also like the mousewheel behaviour
[20:05] <Fizzik> im going to be using xubuntu on my htpc that im building
[20:06] <ceti331_> actually tbh I likek the default gnome setup a lot, just without the top panel. the way KDE comes is great too
[20:06] <ceti331_> i quick mouse shortcut for desktops would sort me out in unity...  know you can activate screen corners, but I like being able to roll the mousewheel on the desktop to switch
[20:07] <martinphone> where do I ask for help regarding streamtuner?
[20:07] <zykotick9> !alis | martinphone you could try this... or if it's from ubuntu's repo, ask here
[20:08] <ceti331_> i've just changed my unity colorscheme to be more mac-like and for some reason its given me much better vibes.. i actually feel like i'm using ubuntu because its good rather than because its different
[20:08] <zykotick9> ceti331_: do you have a support question?  general chit-chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:09] <Xtreme> guys which app to use to open .chm file?
[20:09] <Xtreme> html help file?
[20:10] <Fizzik> xCHM
[20:10] <OerHeks> Xtreme, ".chm" files are typically help files for the MS Windows platform. i am not sure it is legal to do this on Linux.
[20:11] <Fizzik> Xtreme: sudo apt-get install xCHM
[20:11] <Xtreme> OerHeks: i wanted for php manual
[20:11] <StevenR> OerHeks: lots of things come as chm
[20:11] <Xtreme> xchm, Fizzik thanks
[20:11] <zykotick9> OerHeks: fyi chm are compiled HTML files (but yes, typically MS Help)
[20:11] <Fizzik> alot of O'Reily's books came with a digital disc copy of it and they were done in .chm files
[20:11] <fl1bbl3> Xtreme: if you use firefox then https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/chm-reader/
[20:12] <Xtreme> fl1bbl3: thanks,
[20:12] <popsch> is anyone running using duply for their backups? I can't seem to find a way to stop duply when the pre-script fails
[20:13] <sogeking99> hey guys, how can i update my java for minecraft
[20:13] <Andre_H> wine hh yourhelp.chm also works
[20:13] <Xtreme> and can someone please suggest me a irc replacement for konversation?
[20:13] <auronandace> Xtreme: xchat or irssi
[20:13] <Fizzik> Xtreme: if you want a gui client i would suggest Xchat
[20:14] <jmadruga> close
[20:14] <Xtreme> thanks :)
[20:14] <Fizzik> Xtreme: if you want to use through term either irssi or weechat
[20:15] <sogeking99> ?
[20:16] <Xtreme> multiple server support?? please say yes :)
[20:17] <fl1bbl3> Xtreme: irssi has yes
[20:17] <fl1bbl3> extremely good client imo
[20:17] <Xtreme> cool thanks :)
[20:18] <MonkeyDust> i use irssi, too
[20:18] <sogeking99> does anyone know?
[20:18] <fl1bbl3> sogeking99: java -version?
[20:18] <mikkelb> hey
[20:18] <mikkelb> If you guys like Irssi -- check out https://gist.github.com/1602971
[20:19] <mikkelb> aka "THE SIMPLEST, MOST READABLE IRSSI THEME POSSIBLE"
[20:19] <jjava> if i wanted to copy files on a drive via liveDVD to another network computer how would you work through the user permissions issues that are certain to come up
[20:19] <sogeking99> java version "1.6.0_22" is that the latest?
[20:19] <fl1bbl3> no
[20:19] <fl1bbl3> 1.6.0_23 is iirc
[20:20] <sogeking99> fl1bbl3, ok, so how can i update?
[20:20] <fl1bbl3> should be in repos
[20:20] <fl1bbl3> just do an upgrade
[20:20] <fl1bbl3> is it sun java or openjava?
[20:22] <sogeking99> says OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10.6)
[20:22] <sogeking99> sorry im new to linux
[20:23] <sogeking99> whats the terminal command to update java
[20:23] <tech936> hey anyone know a room for nlackbuntu
[20:23] <tech936> *blackbuntu
[20:24] <fl1bbl3> then should be in repos
[20:24] <auronandace> !alis | tech936
[20:24] <tech936> auronandace !alis the room?
[20:25] <tech936> oh nvm lol
[20:26] <ejo> Hi all, I'd really like to fresh-install 12.04 beta right now.  My one concern is: when release comes out soon will I be in a worse position than if I just waited for release in the first place?  Will upgrading be messy?
[20:27] <ejo> Or is there any other reason to hold back?
[20:27] <zykotick9> !final | ejo
[20:27] <ejo> thanks zyk
[20:27] <tech936> still no help
[20:27] <tech936> lol
[20:27] <zykotick9> ejo: IMO the only reason to install beta is to report bugs...
[20:27] <ejo> yeah, just feels strange to install 11.10 two weeks before release of 12.04.
[20:27] <ejo> i'm not on a mission-critical box here, just a development machine
[20:28] <ejo> The focus of my question, I should have said, is more on whether upgrades are still "messier" than clean installs as I used to hear in the past.
[20:29] <auronandace> ejo: clean installs will always be better than an upgrade, less can go wrong
[20:29]  * ejo nods
[20:29] <audifahrer> Hi
[20:29] <tensorpudding> ejo, you can install 12.04 right now, it's in beta but is pretty close to release standing
[20:30] <tensorpudding> you can expect tons of updates in the coming days though
[20:30] <ejo> definitely.  I'll just go for it... would rather do that than figure out what's borked with my X11 right now on 11.04
[20:30] <ejo> xD
[20:30] <slikts_> why doesn't this work? I do "cd; mkdir foo; touch foo/bar; cd foo; ln -s bar ~/bar; cd; ls -l", and the bar symlink is displayed as "bar -> bar", i.e. it's broken
[20:31] <audifahrer> has anyone yet got lightdm configured to support XDMCP? I could login with Xephyr from a remote machine, but with gdm XDMCP from remote I couldn't connect
[20:31] <audifahrer> any ideas how to debug this?
[20:32] <zykotick9> slikts_: "ln -s bar ~/bar" says to create a symlink in ~ called bar - but that's the directory you created...
[20:32] <jrib> slikts_: it does what you asked it do.  ~/bar points to bar (relative to the location of ~/bar)
[20:33] <jjavaholic> copying user #1002 files over the network how would i do that well?
[20:34] <jrib> slikts_: I always think of it as ln -s TARGET NAME   and keep in mind if TARGET is a relative path, it's relative to where NAME is located
[20:34] <rubia> hello everyone. could someone help me with some problems login in X with a nis user?
[20:34] <slikts_> jrib, zykotick9: thanks, I found out that it behaves like this because of -s
[20:34] <jrib> slikts_: well -s creates a symbolic link.  This is different than without -s (hard link)
[20:34] <slikts_> jrib: I understand
[20:40] <fl1bbl3> jjavaholic: rsync
[20:41] <tyler_d> trying to mount an ssd drive(sata) and I'm certainly not winning, it shows up in dmesg but only a single line... please help

[20:46] <donavan01> does anyone know of a program that will duplicate copy protected dvd's for linux much like anydvd/clonedvd does in windows... I am not looking to pirate movies here... our church group has a vast library of movies and rather than loaning out the orginals we would like to be able to loan out a copy an keep the orginal as a backup as people tend not to be very kind to the dvds... some discs copy just fine but others are copy p

[21:07] <Areckx> Is there a way to log a terminal window into a txt file?
[21:08] <fl1bbl3> avinashhm: why wouldn't you just run it under roots crontab?
[21:08] <fl1bbl3> Areckx: script
[21:08] <avinashhm> fl1bbl3, thats a good idea .. i will install under roots crontab
[21:08] <Areckx> fl1bbl3::  thank you
[21:08] <Xtreme> i am able to access it in terminal
[21:08] <avinashhm> fl1bbl3, thank you

[21:09] <avinashhm> fl1bbl3, just curious .. is there any way to specify root pwd by default ..
[21:09] <fl1bbl3> avinashhm: sudo su -
[21:09] <fl1bbl3> and then once you drop into a shell just do a passwd
[21:10] <fl1bbl3> Xtreme: just updatedb and then do a locate?

[21:12] <Xtreme> how long it takes for updatedb?
[21:12] <fl1bbl3> Xtreme: less than a min usually
[21:12] <fl1bbl3> depends on size of disk, number of files, etc
[21:13] <Xtreme> 2 mins passed
[21:13] <fl1bbl3> what size of disk?
[21:13] <fl1bbl3> plus when was the last time you did it?

[21:19] <sharkmap> trying to get a laptop to connect to a samba share on another computer (both are 11.10) but it fails to connect to the workgroup. Any ideas on how to figure out the problem? I am pretty sure everything is installed, but may not be configured right. thanks in advance
[21:20] <alteregoa> i got a problem with meowrnel 3.3.1
[21:21] <Fyodorovna> whereismywal, generally the channel #ubuntu-ops is where you would go if important.
[21:22] <meganerd> sharkmap, did you give a user access with smbpasswd -a?
[21:23] <meganerd> sharkmap: there are also logs in /var/log/samba
 not sure I did that. how would one do that if one were to do it?
[21:24] <meganerd> sudo smbpasswd -a <username>
[21:24] <meganerd> sharkmap: the -a is only for new users

[21:29] <mafiaboy> quit
[21:33] <meganerd> sharkmap: on the server
[21:34] <meganerd> sharkmap: also the logs are stored based on the client IP/hostname, and you basically look for problems.  In this case I suspect you will see authentication errors
[21:36] <legs139> exit
[21:36] <linsux> how do i change language in xubuntu?

[22:10] <tonk> whats a good mouse macro program?
[22:10] <tonk> for ubuntu
[22:10] <Areckx> xjoy?
[22:11] <fl1bbl3> xdotool
[22:11] <fl1bbl3> which is awesome
[22:11] <fl1bbl3> for all sorts of things
[22:12] <tonk> ty :)
[22:14] <Areckx> should I use scim for Japanese input?
[22:14] <trism> Areckx: ibus is the default in recent ubuntu versions
[22:15] <Areckx> trism::  I am unable to use the space key to convert to kan ji
[22:15] <Areckx> trism::  and also do not know how to convert to katakana or romaji
[22:15] <Areckx> in windows it was f7-etc
[22:17] <Monkey_b> hey guys is there any reason a file would lose its encoding after being scp'd?
[22:17] <kiama2005> Ubuntu 11.10 will not recognise the floppy drive any idea's.
[22:17] <fl1bbl3> encoding as in its no longer ASCII?
[22:17] <fl1bbl3> Monkey_b: checked hashes both ends?
[22:18] <trism> Areckx: after you have installed the japanese support in Language Support you can configure ibus with ibus-setup and the anthy keybindings with /usr/lib/ibus-anthy/ibus-setup-anthy
[22:18] <trism> Areckx: I don't know that there are defaults, I usually set alt+1 to hiragana alt+2 katakana and alt+3 latin
[22:18] <trism> Areckx: ctrl+space is the default to switch input methods on/off
[22:20] <Monkey_b> fl1bbl3: charset is what i meant
[22:20] <fl1bbl3> tonk: http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/xdotool.xhtml
[22:20] <fl1bbl3> and I run a whitelist script, you need to be explicitly added to send me pm's
[22:20] <Monkey_b> i do a 'file -i' on the source before sending, and it shows 'charset: utf-8'... i fo a 'file -i' on the destination, and it doesnt show a charset... and when i open it the special characters are screwed up
[22:21] <eightiesk> !wubi
[22:21] <Monkey_b> seems to only affect this particular file
[22:22] <joseph_> Hi, How do I get ubuntu to automatically connect to my wifi without asking for the key ring password?
[22:23] <dalton2345> save the code joseph_
[22:23] <zykotick9> joseph_: lol, good luck with that...  you have autologin enabled?
[22:24] <trism> Areckx: oh you should also make sure to set the input method to ibus in Language Support
[22:24] <joseph_> when I boot ubuntu, my account automatically logs in but the wifi will not connect until I type the password for "key ring"
[22:25] <zykotick9> joseph_: i don't think there is a "solution" to that.  If you turn off autologin, you won't get the keyring password.
[22:25] <__r00t__> anyone want to help me with RAID ... prizes are available !
[22:25] <Areckx> trism::  checked, it's set to ibus
[22:26] <joseph_> hmmm, so I guess everybody in here that uses wifi has to type that pass word in?
[22:26] <zykotick9> joseph_: i'd guess most users don't use autologin
[22:26] <Fyodorovna> joseph_, right click the icon go to settings click on wifi then edit and make sure all users and auto connect are ticked on.
[22:27] <wylde> joseph_: I don't, but I don;t use autologin either.
[22:27] <tjiggi_fo> joseph_, in "edit connections" at the bottom check the "make available for all users"
[22:27] <zykotick9> Fyodorovna: tjiggi_fo i don't think either of your suggestions addresses the keyring issue involved here.
[22:29] <chiliblue> keyring mandger prompt comes up when the desktop loads how can I fix that
[22:30] <zykotick9> chiliblue: turn off autologin ;)
[22:30] <chiliblue> as I load straight into xbmc it stops my remote from working
[22:30] <chiliblue> zykotick9, not really an option for a htpc
[22:30] <wolfric> is /bin/bash in ubuntu, actually bash or dash?
[22:30] <rebe> how do I force python run in terminal to use 4 spaces indentation instead of 8 ?
[22:31] <wolfric> (in debian /bin/bash is just dash anyway)
[22:31] <Pici> wolfric: its bash. /bin/sh is symlinked to dash

[22:31] <ox1de> what should i do?
[22:31] <dj_ryan> a question - how do i get a upstream dhcp server to tell dnsmasq 'strict-order' or whatever?
[22:31] <ox1de> is there a code sequence i can enter to get it back online?
[22:31] <fishcooker> where firefox save the played youtube video?
[22:32] <fishcooker> how to reveal it
[22:32] <fishcooker> ?
[22:32] <Pici> rebe: what do you mean? indentation is a feature of your editor, not the terminal.
[22:32] <fl1bbl3> fishcooker: it doesn't
[22:32] <fishcooker> how to save the played youtube video fl1bble3
[22:32] <zykotick9> fishcooker: they are deleted immediately now - they aren't saved like they used to be.  there is a way to get them though.
[22:32] <fl1bbl3> fishcooker: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/
[22:33] <fishcooker> is fl1bbl3 way also your way zykotick9
[22:33] <OomElvis> Q: can i just delete /var/log/mail.log ? will there be any repercussions... guessing not?
[22:33] <OomElvis> same for syslog.1
[22:33] <zykotick9> fishcooker: using a download-addon of some sort is a lot easier then getting the deleted files
[22:34] <fishcooker> omg
[22:34] <zykotick9> fishcooker: no, they're different - fl1bbl3's is way easier
[22:34] <fishcooker> its 1gigs file
[22:34] <fl1bbl3> eh?  what is?
[22:34] <rebe> pici: so I cannot change it ? when I write python in terminal, python starts obviously, and it uses 8 spaces indentation instead of 4, and that annoys me
[22:35] <ox1de> can anybody help me?
[22:35] <Pici> rebe: I've never tried.  The folks in #python should be able to help with the settings for the interactive interpreter though.
[22:38] <ratcheer> rebe: That is one of the reasons I prefer Ruby to Python.
[22:38] <ox1de> ???????????
[22:38] <ox1de> iz anybody out there?
[22:40] <ratcheer> ox1de: All I can say is, I hate it when that happens.
[22:40] <ox1de> me too
[22:40] <ox1de> what should i do?
[22:41] <Monkey_b> anyone know why a file would seemingly turn from utf-8 on one machine, to a file that has no 'charset' after being transferred to another server via scp?
[22:41] <ratcheer> ox1de: I don't remember. It hasn't happened to me in about three years.
[22:41] <Pici> ox1de: Why did it 'die'?
[22:41] <ox1de> i dont know
[22:41] <ox1de> everything seemed fine
[22:41] <ox1de> and now it says that error message on boot
[22:42] <Pici> ox1de: Do you see grub when you boot?
[22:42] <ox1de> what is grub?
[22:42] <Pici> ox1de: the boot menu.
[22:42] <ratcheer> Uh oh.
[22:42] <ox1de> teh boot menu with the user login screen u mean?
[22:43] <ox1de> or do u mean bios?
[22:43] <ratcheer> No, it is between those. Hold the Shift key when booting, it should give you the grub screen.
[22:44] <sean_> is positive thinking just self reassurance?
[22:45] <estel_> anyone here no how to add/remove icons with the openbox desktop and the dock?
[22:45] <ox1de> ok i got grub

[22:47] <sean_> navajo boot from a linux cd and follow the instructions

[22:47] <avinashhm> Hi , which is the package which is responsible for command line colors .. like all the colorful interface when we run alsamixer ..  i am running alsa mixer , but i am getting strange characters in the terminal .. guess color package is missing ..
[22:48] <navajo> navajo: Problem now my cd/dvd drive only sees a cd drive? is this uefi causing problems machine is only a 1.2 ghz intel with 2 gigs ram..
[22:50] <sean_> navajo, don't know navajo, that's not an ubuntu issue
[22:51] <splic> Is it possible to have /boot as a logical volume in LVM on top of RAID1 and still be bootable? I'd rather not have to make two md's (one for the PVs and one for /boot).
[22:52] <sean_> splic, what's an md?
[22:52] <splic> sean_: raid volume
[22:53] <navajo> sean_: Thats the problem cant install ubuntu? because drive only reads 32 gigs when is actually 200 gigs!
[22:53] <ox1de> what exactly do i do in grub?
[22:54] <ox1de> press e then what?
[22:54] <sean_> ox1de, pray :)

[23:02] <zykotick9> avinashhm: gnome-terminal?

[23:03] <ox1de> pici said go into grub
[23:03] <ox1de> so what do i do from grub?
[23:03] <avinashhm> zykotick9, pardon me .. it is not a gnome-terminal .. i am not sure which type of terminal it is .. is there any way to find ..
[23:03] <zykotick9> avinashhm: how are you starting your terminal?
[23:04] <avinashhm> booting in command line mode ..
[23:04] <zykotick9> avinashhm: ahhh, sorry i can't help.  good luck.
[23:04] <sean_> ox1de, what options do you have in grub?
[23:05] <sean_> ox1de, mine will be different
[23:05] <ox1de> ubuntu, with linux 2.6.32-38-generic
[23:05] <zykotick9> avinashhm: BTW, "echo $TERM" but i think from command line login, it just says Linux or something.
[23:05] <ox1de> ubuntu, with linux 2.6.32-38-generic (recovery mode)
[23:05] <avinashhm> zykotick9, np .. thanks for pitching in .. any idea which package are responsible for color in the terminall .. i think these are missing ..
[23:05] <sean_> avinashhm, I think I would look at bash settings
[23:05] <ox1de> so i pressed e and went into edit the commands
[23:05] <ox1de> and i need to know what to do in the edit command window
[23:06] <avinashhm> zykotick9, yeh .. it just says linux ..
[23:06] <wylde> avinashhm: looks like you may be missing some ncurses libs.
[23:06] <sean_> have you tried recovery mode?
[23:06] <avinashhm> on echo "TERM"
[23:06] <ox1de> yes that didnt work
[23:06] <zykotick9> avinashhm: i had lots of rendering issues with alsamixer and gnome-terminal, in my case switching to rxvt-unicode solved all my issues (doesn't apply to you)
[23:06] <sean_> same boot message?
[23:06] <ox1de> yes
[23:06] <wylde> !find ncurses
[23:06] <sean_> hmm
[23:06] <ox1de> pici said to press e which takes me into the edit command window
[23:06] <sean_> can you boot the machine from alive cd?
[23:07] <fl1bbl3> ox1de: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/laptop-stops-at-busybox-command-line-with-no-init-found-error-897722/
[23:07] <avinashhm> wylde, i will check ncurses library and install ...
[23:07] <fl1bbl3> you tried stuff in that thread?
[23:07] <avinashhm> zykotick9, how did u switch to rxvt-unicode .. ?
[23:07] <zykotick9> avinashhm: that's a Xorg terminal, not VT terminal
[23:08] <wylde> avinashhm: it looks to me like standard characters are working fine. The characters used to represent the "UI" are the ones that make me suspect and ncurses issue.
[23:08] <avinashhm> wylde, yeah .. it is something outside of ASCII ..
[23:08] <sean_> goodnight all, that was fun!
[23:09] <avinashhm> specially i feel colors are tried as usually in alsamixer .. but it is missing the color capability
[23:09] <archboxman> ox1de: I still dont get what the problems is?
[23:09] <avinashhm> i am checking on ncurses ..
[23:09] <ox1de> archboxman: what do u need to know?
[23:10] <archboxman> ox1de: did the drive crash! are u installing ubuntu what?

[23:13] <ox1de> i dont have an external
[23:14] <ox1de> i have a usb stick that won
[23:14] <ox1de> t seem to load
[23:14] <wylde> avinashhm: was about to suggest running in xterm or gnome-terminal to see what happens.
[23:14] <zykotick9> ox1de: personally, i'd boot from a livecd and follow the !grub2 link's directions for reinstalling grub myself.  ymmv
[23:14] <avinashhm> wylde, could i install only gnome-terminal and not whole of gnome ? i will give a shot if i can install only gnome-terminal independently
[23:15] <ox1de> what should i do to teh gnu grub command edit menu?
[23:15] <ox1de> or window
[23:15] <archboxman> ox1de: do u have a last image before this one if so choose that one it should boot
[23:15] <zykotick9> avinashhm: if you have Xorg installed, just test in xterm
[23:15] <wylde> avinashhm: I honestly don't know, I imagine it will probably want to install a fair number of additional packages if you don't have gnome installed.
[23:16] <avinashhm> zykotick9, sure .. i will try with xterm first ..
[23:17] <avinashhm> wylde, np .. i will try xterm . (looks easy) and then with gnome ..
[23:18] <wylde> avinashhm: if it works or not in xterm should suffice I think. I don't think there's enough difference from xterm to gnome-terminal to make a difference.

[23:19] <krnl`> is there any file transfer method (like ftp or sshfs) that stores the files encrypted on the server?
[23:20] <zykotick9> krnl`: transfer and storage are not the same thing...
[23:20] <avinashhm> wylde, zykotick9 .. guys thanks very much for pitching in .. :-) .. ty
[23:20] <wylde> krnl`: I believe if the filesystem the file is tranferred to is encrypted then any files moved there will be.
[23:21] <krnl`> zykotick9: i want the file encrypted on the server, so other users that has permission to the whole system cant read the files without the proper key.
[23:21] <zykotick9> krnl`: so, either encrypt the files, or use an encrypted filesystem then
[23:21] <wylde> !info cryptkeeper
[23:22] <krnl`> zykotick9: no, i need differnet keys for different "ftp" users. and i dont want to pollute the system with meny sysusers.

[23:32] <pvssanjeev> I have an issue with getting the HDMI OUT display on my HD TV
[23:32] <celthunder> D-Chymera: to add one? i think you need to add it to fstab or mtab...it reads one of those i think could be wrong
[23:32] <notlistening> celthunder, on boot
[23:32] <ox1de> d(>_<)b
[23:32] <celthunder> pvssanjeev: video card and does it output at all?
[23:33] <archboxman> celthunder: found a cool link gave me all the commands to setup Openbox it is running great wish I could get dmenu to run in Openbox..
[23:33] <notlistening> celthunder, when the system is running mount
[23:33] <celthunder> archboxman: dmenu should work fine in openbox
[23:33] <pvssanjeev> (celthinder)i only see UBUTU on the TC
[23:33] <pvssanjeev> TV*
[23:33] <D-Chymera> celthunder: the computer section by default has the standard freedesktop user folders
[23:33] <D-Chymera> nothing with fstab there
[23:33] <gustavo_cm> Hi there. GParted shrunk my /home ext4 partition bud didn't update the superblock. How can I solve it?
[23:34] <celthunder> D-Chymera: hmm clearly i dont use nautilus then

[23:34] <celthunder> Infest: as are we all
[23:34] <Dayofswords> hey, is there anyway to find out how big parts of the ubuntu repo are? like en-US 10.04 section only?
[23:35] <notlistening> Infest is the best ... or something like that :D
[23:35] <pvssanjeev> I have tried Fn+F8.. no luck there
[23:35] <gustavo_cm> Hi there. GParted shrunk my /home ext4 partition bud didn't update the superblock. How can I solve it? I tried fsck, but nothing.
[23:35] <celthunder> Dayofswords: ftp to a mirror and check the size of the folder...why would you WANT unless you are trying to be a full mirror
[23:35] <notlistening> celthunder, any idea on where to look on the CIFS issue?
[23:35] <pvssanjeev> In Windows this works seamlessly
[23:36] <archboxman> pvssanjeev: reslution problem?

[23:39] <wylde> !find crypto hmac
[23:39] <celthunder> archboxman: set it to ignore it or add the dev keys it takes 2 seconds
[23:39] <wylde> whoops
[23:39] <SolarisBoy> lol
[23:40] <archboxman> celthunder: I have to add the dev keys. Read we only needed to set master keys..
[23:40] <wylde> notlistening: I think you might be missing a crypto lib or two.
[23:40] <celthunder> pvssanjeev: it says your hdmi isnt even plugged in..nvidia card?
[23:40] <pvssanjeev> NVIDIA
[23:40] <archboxman> celthunder: k, thanks..
[23:40] <andrewpsy> query khuang
[23:41] <celthunder> pvssanjeev: then give us the info from the nvidia tools
[23:41] <gustavo_cm> Hi there. GParted shrunk my /home ext4 partition bud didn't update the superblock. How can I solve it? I tried fsck, but nothing.
[23:41] <wylde> !info python3-crypto
[23:41] <wylde> !info python-crypto
[23:41] <SirTurtle> wtf is goin on lol
[23:41] <pvssanjeev> any specific command that would display the NVIDIA specs on this comp
[23:41] <celthunder> SirTurtle: ?
[23:42] <archboxman> celthunder: pvssanjeev did they run a lsmod see if the module is loaded?
[23:42] <celthunder> archboxman: theyre is x already so i would assume so
[23:42] <pvssanjeev> no i have not run any lsmod
[23:43] <wylde> !ot | SirTurtle
[23:43] <archboxman> celthunder: agree just these new ubuntu flavors install nouveau drivers instead of nvidia driver which causes problems...
[23:44] <celthunder> archboxman: get the proprietary driver...i am all for open source but...proprietary nvidia is the way to go
[23:44] <celthunder> archboxman: and if hes using nouveau then that would also explain why hdmi doesnt work
[23:44] <pvssanjeev> ok where do i get that "propietory" drivers?
[23:45] <celthunder> pvssanjeev: either nvidias site or probably the repos like everything else
[23:45] <pvssanjeev> Thank you celthunder
[23:45] <pvssanjeev> lemme search the repos
[23:45] <wylde> !nvidia
[23:45] <archboxman> celthunder: not me pvssanjeev ... my display is a 32 inch led tv
[23:45] <archboxman> pvssanjeev: lsmod which drive does it list...

[23:49] <ProfessorBacon> that sounds dangerous
[23:49] <celthunder> funnyhaha: because?
[23:49] <funnyhaha> i want more power
[23:49] <andrewpsy> >celthunder: sorry, trying to see help page for irssi
[23:49] <ProfessorBacon> don't cook your machine, funnyhaha
[23:49] <funnyhaha> no no that wont happen
[23:49] <ProfessorBacon> just move closer to the AP :)
[23:49] <celthunder> ProfessorBacon: funnyhaha then get a real wireless card and a real antenna...problem solved
[23:50] <archboxman> funnyhaha: larger attenea is what u want
[23:50] <andrewpsy> !help
[23:50] <celthunder> andrewpsy: lol ok
[23:50] <wylde> celthunder: my home made cantenna beats out a store bought antenna by at least 4dbm. :)
[23:50] <archboxman> funnyhaha: It extends the range of wifi
[23:50] <n-iCe> I did ifconfig eth0 up, and is listed in ifconfig, but I connect the ethernet try a ping google.com and does not work, how can I know when I am connected to internet and if my ehternet drivers is loaded and working
[23:51] <ProfessorBacon> MORE POWER
[23:51] <andrewpsy> >celthunder: I should read the manpage of irssi before joining the channel :(
[23:51] <celthunder> wylde: all you need is wire...hell at one point i used a spool of speaker wire and some aluminum foil
[23:51] <ProfessorBacon> n-iCe: you can ping an IP on the internet
[23:51] <ratcheer> 21 jigawatts!
[23:51] <celthunder> andrewpsy: try weechat its irssi with updates and a dev that works on it
[23:51] <wylde> celthunder: yep, you don't need fancy materials at all.
[23:51] <archboxman> funnyhaha: try newegg.com and Rosewill product cost 15 bucks and works out the box sees drivers..
[23:51] <arizona_bay> if anyone wants to stop smoking, please drop by at #stopsmoking :D
[23:51] <n-iCe> ProfessorBacon: read the question :p I already ping google.com and does not work
[23:51] <arizona_bay> archbox :o
[23:51] <archboxman> funnyhaha: I will get u the lik
[23:51] <celthunder> arizona_bay: we like dying
[23:51] <funnyhaha> yeah i know i just want to be able to change to power like when i need more battery life and when i dont
[23:51] <wylde> !ot | arizona_bay
[23:52] <archboxman> funnyhaha: I will get u the link
[23:52] <andrewpsy> celthunder: thanks, will try weechat
[23:52] <andrewpsy> exit
[23:52] <arizona_bay> I got wipped :x im sowy
[23:52] <celthunder> funnyhaha: then get a battery with more cells and take out the cd drive dim the display and ssd (i hate ssd but better on power)....
[23:53] <celthunder> funnyhaha: those will do 100x more than not using wireless unless its a phone
[23:54] <celthunder> in which case all radios off dim display probably the best power saving.
[23:54] <pvssanjeev> I will edit the /etc/X11/XORG file and restart now and join back
[23:54] <archboxman> celthunder: they dont understand radio communications here so wifi is a problem
[23:55] <ceti331> has anyone used an amd 3-monitor out graphics card with ubuntu
[23:55] <ceti331> i have heard that nvidia cards are  better supported generally under linux
[23:56] <invisiblek> why does networkmanager + iwl3945 suck so much? its kind of a pain to have to install wicd on this...
[23:56] <celthunder> ceti331: that is true amd /ati pretty much refuse to make usable modules
[23:56] <ceti331> hah da,m
[23:56] <celthunder> invisiblek: wicd is good...network manager has always and always will suck
[23:56] <celthunder> ceti331: but yes depending on the card you can use it with 3 monitors
[23:56] <ceti331> those "usb monitors" dont work with linux do they ?
[23:56] <n-iCe> I did ifconfig eth0 up, and is listed in ifconfig, but I connect the ethernet try a ping google.com and does not work, how can I know when I am connected to internet and if my ehternet drivers is loaded and working
[23:56] <celthunder> no idea never tried one
[23:57] <invisiblek> i've never liked network manager, id rather configure it via command line
[23:57] <ceti331> before I purchase a card ideally I would like to have it verified that it will work
[23:57] <celthunder> n-iCe: do you have a dns server in /etc/resolv.conf
[23:57] <ceti331> instead of buying it to test it :)
[23:57] <celthunder> n-iCe: also dhcpcd eth0 or use ifconfig to give it an ip
[23:57] <violinappren> n-iCe: first of all, is your cable connected and working fine? check with: sudo mii-tool
[23:58] <zykotick9> celthunder: the debian project seems to consider wicd deprecated, and it may disappear from debian... just sayin'
[23:58] <celthunder> ceti331: theres plenty of hcls
[23:58] <n-iCe> ok, brb, let me try
[23:58] <ceti331> hcls=?
[23:58] <celthunder> ceti331: hardware compatiability lists
[23:58] <zykotick9> n-iCe: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[23:59] <celthunder> zykotick9: why? because its python2?
[23:59] <alteregoa> meowsolv.conf in /cat/sys/ipv4dhcmeow/
[23:59] <celthunder> zykotick9: netcfg does fine if wicd goes bye
[23:59] <zykotick9> celthunder: no, i don't think it's that (might be? i'm not sure on the details) [personally i use wicd on my netbook, so i don't have to install a DM]
