[12:32] <Saurabh> The Ubuntu I am using is 64-bit. And the problem resolves once I restart my computer.
[12:32] <bazhang> Newbee, the package is ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:33] <ManDay_> Which tool in ubuntu can search within files?
[12:33] <dr_willis> im using 32bit on this box. because i couldent find my Lubuntu 64bit cd. :)
[12:33] <Saurabh> Someone please help. Please let me know if need to publish any more details
[12:33] <Newbee> Mine is an integrated one with m2n68amse2 motherboard frm asus using nvidia
[12:33] <dr_willis> ManDay_,  for within text files for a text pattern - grep is often used
[12:33] <Goliath> hey
[12:33] <bazhang> Newbee, install from synaptic package manager
[12:33] <Goliath> how can i see the services running already?
[12:34] <Newbee> Any cmd to do that
[12:34] <bazhang> Newbee, do what
[12:34] <yasser> y
[12:34] <Saurabh> I am running Ubuntu 11.04 (64-bit). It is a fresh installation and not an upgrade from any earlier version. I access net through Chrome and Firefox. I am having problem with my internet. When I switch on my computer, I can acess sites but after some time (the time varies) internet stops and I am not able to open any websites. The connection status shows that it is connected. If I try to reset my connection (or diconnect and then connect again), then it just
[12:34] <Saurabh>  goes on trying to connect infinitely and finally shows disconnected and then tries again to connect. I tried to check debug the situation and coudl find any reason but found that I could make an ftp connection but couldn't browse any site in my browser. By, the way I am using Filezilla as my FTP client. I am able to resolve the the problem once I restart my computer but problem occurs again after sometime.
[12:34] <ManDay_> dr_willis: i'm looking for an easy to use gui tool which also succesfully searches within docx documents, to name one
[12:35] <ManDay_> (and offers easy to use options such as case insensitivy without using regex)
[12:35] <dr_willis> never used docx so no idea.
[12:35] <Viderizer> Hey
[12:35] <dr_willis> check the package manager - see what tools are in there. Ive seen a few gui search/text tools
[12:35] <Viderizer> is there older versions from thw Wubi installer?
[12:35] <ManDay_> dr_willis: ok what about an easy grep frontend then?
[12:36] <ManDay_> which offers checkboxes for case insensitivity and so forth
[12:36] <Viderizer> 'case I didn't like the newest ubuntu
[12:36] <dr_willis> ManDay_,  never needed one. :)
[12:36] <Newbee> To install codec pack from synaptic package manager?
[12:36] <Viderizer> and would like to switch bakc
[12:36] <ManDay_> dr_willis: ditto.
[12:36] <ManDay_> otherwise i would know one
[12:36] <dr_willis> Newbee,  someone mentioned  insrtalling 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[12:36] <bazhang> Newbee, yes
[12:36] <theadmin> Viderizer: Get any ISO and use that
[12:36] <theadmin> Viderizer: WUBI is present on all Ubuntu ISOs
[12:36] <Viderizer> Ok
[12:37] <Newbee> Yes dr willis did that using jockey.got unity workng.bt trouble continues with vlc

[12:37] <theadmin> Newbee: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras # Would be the right command
[12:37] <dr_willis> could be some compiz/vlc/unity issues. - i am using Lubuntu for the time being.
[12:38] <dr_willis> Newbee,  you may want to check the askubuntu.com site or the forums - see if others have the same vlc issue. there may be some fix/common quirk going on
[12:38] <Saurabh> Can someone please help me?
[12:38] <Newbee> Command for instaling codec packs?
[12:38] <Newbee> Thanx willis.
[12:39] <ManDay_> Does anyone know an easy grep GUI frontend?
[12:40] <usr13> ManDay_: I don't think there is one.
[12:40] <ManDay_> oO
[12:40] <ManDay_> what the hell. ubuntu without a gui frontend?
[12:40] <dr_willis> apt-cache search search | grep grep
[12:40] <Saurabh> Can someone please help me.
[12:40] <ManDay_> does anyone know why annotations are not visible in docx?
[12:40] <dr_willis> :) not sure what ones of those are gui
[12:40] <ManDay_> ....libre office
[12:40] <usr13> Saurabh: You might try switching to wicd.  Don't really know if it will help but worth a try.
[12:41] <Saurabh> I am having problems with my internet
[12:41] <Saurabh> can you tell me how can i do that
[12:41] <dr_willis> ive seen some generic 'cli' front end tools. or other text search tools.. but ive rarely needed them
[12:41] <usr13> Saurabh: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[12:41] <Saurabh> usr13:ok thank you usr13. Will give it a try
[12:43] <Newbee> Usr 13 what is wicd?
[12:43] <dr_willis> !info wicd
[12:43] <iszak> So I'm planning on moving the rm binary to another location and replace it with a shell script which will check the path and ensure the pwd is the parent of the folder it's going to delete, will it work?
[12:43] <Guest15581> Just installed Ubuntu, I have to internal hard drives in my computer and one of them is not showing up.  fdisk -l is giving me both  hard drives, but when I try to mount the on I'm having trouble with I get "mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /mnt busy" Tried to unmount it just to make sure and it says its not mounted
[12:44] <dr_willis> iszak,  why not just make a rm alias.
[12:44] <Guest15581> any idea why I can't mount the hd?
[12:44] <usr13> Newbee: Wicd - Wired and Wireless Network Connection Manager
[12:44] <iszak> dr_willis, you mean like a command alias?
[12:44] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  exactly how are you truying to mount it?
[12:44] <dr_willis> iszak,  thats a common way to do such a task yes.
[12:45] <Jake> hey room in ubuntu 11.04 i am duel booting w/ windows but want windows to be the default how do i change the boot order?
[12:45] <iszak> dr_willis, but it'll mean users will still be able to execute rm?
[12:45] <iszak> directly, if they don't use the alias
[12:45] <dr_willis> iszak,   i dont really see what you are gaining by the alterations.
 maybe its sdb1 or sdb2 your after
[12:45] <Newbee> Another issue that Im facing is I cnt access the partition in which ubuntu is installed.its wubi installation
[12:45] <iszak> dr_willis, stop people deleting things they shouldn't.
[12:45] <usr13> Newbee: "Wicd  is  designed to give the user as much control over behavior of network connection as possible."  (From man file.)
[12:45] <iszak> or /accidently/ deleting
[12:46] <dr_willis> Jake,  you can rename /etc/grub.d/XX_os-prober to be a lower # and it will move up the list.
[12:46] <DJHenjin> thanks for all the help guys, im outta here
[12:46] <dr_willis> iszak,  your changes may break scripts or other things.. stuff to watch out for.
[12:46] <Guest15581> sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt is the command I'm using
[12:46] <Guest15581> dr_willis
[12:46] <Zerone> quit
[12:46] <DJHenjin> wait a second, is there a synergy package for 10.04?
[12:46] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  not a proper command. Unless its a cd/optical drive
[12:47] <iszak> dr_willis, yeah I know, that's why I was planning on passing all the parameters to the aliased rm after the check
[12:47] <dr_willis> DJHenjin,  yes.
[12:47] <DJHenjin> got a name for it?
[12:47] <iszak> parameters/arguments
[12:47] <usr13> Saurabh: Actually, I think you may need to install the GUI front end.  i.e.  sudo apt-get install wicd-gtk ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[12:47] <dr_willis> !info syngery
[12:47] <dr_willis> !info synegry
[12:47] <dr_willis> I never can spell it right
[12:47] <Newbee> I cnt acces the partition in which ubuntu is instald
[12:47] <szal> !info synergy
[12:48] <DJHenjin> so just sudo apt-get install synergy
[12:48] <rileyp> Guest15581 you cant  mount to /mnt
[12:48] <DJHenjin> or do i need to add a repo?
[12:48] <rileyp> mkdir ~/sbd
[12:48] <dr_willis> its in the universe repo.
[12:48] <Guest15581> I've also tried mounting to a folder inside of mnt
[12:48] <Guest15581> didn't work either
[12:48] <Jake> how on ubuntu 11.04 do i just launch terminal there is no more task menu or whatever you want to call it
[12:49] <dr_willis>  Guest15581  /dev/sdb is wrong.. unless its a optcal disk. or a weirdly partioned hard drive
[12:49] <rileyp> then sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/username/sdb but you wll need to give file systemd type etc as well
[12:50] <Newbee> Unable to acces partition on ubuntu
[12:50] <usr13> More about wicd:  If I remember correctly, I just installed package wicd and the GUI front end came with it. So...
[12:50] <Guest15581> k, when i do fdisk -l I get this     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

[12:51] <rileyp> Guest15581 is is formatted?
[12:51] <usr13> Newbee: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[12:51] <Newbee> Ok.i want to change network manager.it has got some problm with my mobile broadband
[12:51] <dr_willis> sdb is not even showing its partitiond . from how im reading that.
[12:52] <Guest15581> so would I need to partion it from 4866 forward?
[12:52] <Guest15581> and then mount it?
[12:52] <Newbee> Usr 13.do u know about partitions.can u help me
[12:52] <usr13> Guest15581: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[12:53] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  is there any actual data on this disk? or is it brand new?
[12:53] <Guest15581> most of my files are on it. runs fine on Win7
[12:53] <Guest15581> just trying to get it switched over
[12:54] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  tyhen your fdisk -l output should be showing its a NTFS partition on it somewhere.
[12:54] <blackshirt1> night
[12:54] <rileyp> Guest15581: the ntfs partitons are on sdba
[12:54] <onryo> This "Unity" is weird. How do I open more then one term?
[12:54] <rileyp> soz sda from info you pated above
[12:54] <dr_willis> onryo,  middle click i think. theres a unity-shortcuts wallpaper image out there that gives tips
[12:54] <DJHenjin> is there some kind of process viewer like task manager in windows in ubuntu 10.04?
[12:54] <dr_willis> onryo,  and several sites with unity docs/beginner guides
[12:54] <DJHenjin> with info like cpu and ram usage?
[12:54] <rileyp> /dev/sda1   *           1          13      102400    7  HPFS/NTFS this is windows fs
[12:55] <Newbee> Onryo actualy i felt unity really bad
[12:55] <rileyp> /dev/sda2              13        4866    38977536    7  HPFS/NTFS this is windows as well
[12:55] <rileyp> sda1 is the bott partiton
[12:55] <rileyp> boot
[12:55] <DJHenjin> crap my comp froze while installing synergy
[12:55] <Guest15581> from what I can see sda is partioned into two parts, but the sdb, which is the one I can't see isn't partioned it seems
[12:55] <Newbee> Henin use system monitor
[12:56] <Newbee> In that you will see processes tab
[12:56] <Guest15581> very new to linux, been working on this for awhile now :/
[12:56] <onryo> dr_willis Newbee OK Ill give it a try. I just installed the Alpha of Ubuntu 11.10 it has kernel 3.0! Thought I would take a look. Normally I am on Debian Wheezy.
[12:57] <rileyp> Guest15581,  your telling us and were telling you but surely you know hat you have nefore you started the 500 gig stand alone drive is empty yeah?
[12:57] <dr_willis> onryo,  11.10 is very much a work in progress at this state.
[12:58] <Guest15581> no, the drive is about half full, has all my music, photo's ect on it
[12:58] <dr_willis> Would a windows encrypted hard drive show up as unpartioned?
[12:58] <Jake> dr_willis so if i rename the 30_os-prober to 20 it would change it to up by 1?
[12:59] <dr_willis> Jake,  unless theres a 21 and 25 and so on.. :) it would move it up a few slots yes..
[12:59] <dr_willis> Jake,  and rerun update-grub also
[12:59] <onryo> dr_willis yeah I see that. Seems that Unity is sort of in the works too. See that GDM is gone. OK 50k lines of code was a little blotted but this is not the GNU/Linux I grew up with. Maybe Ill get use to it. Just don't want a blinky iPhone on my desktop though =)
[13:00] <Guest15581> i can partion the drive and then try to mount it easy enough if that would make it work...
[13:00] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  i would boot to windows. and backup the data befor you mess with trying to 'fix' it...
[13:01] <dr_willis> Guest15581,   YYou may want to pick a better Nick also.. theres to many guests in here. :)
[13:01] <Guest15581> haha i had one, but I didn't chat fast enough it seems
[13:02] <Guest15581> so would you agree that partioning it and then trying to mount seems like the best route?
[13:02] <DJHenjin> whats nice ni the processes tab of system monitor?
[13:03] <onryo> can I keep my repos in pure FOSS using Ubuntu?
[13:03] <dr_willis> Guest15581,  i would back up the data FIRST...  somthing is very weird that the disk is showing no partitions
[13:03] <dr_willis> onryo,  ive seen where thats doable.. i dont se emuch point in it.
[13:03] <Guest15581> yeah I'll back it up for sure
[13:03] <Guest15581> thanks for the help dr_willis and rileyp
[13:03] <DJHenjin> gnome system monitor is using 50% CPU
[13:04] <GraymanStole> Question for anyone who is capable of answering: Is there a way/How do I add photos to the contacts in Evolution? Clicking on the box where the photo should go does nothing.
[13:04] <magnetron> hi, my network card isn't initialized. dmesg suggest i use "force-addr=0xaddr". i know about an unoccupied range. is this a kernel option and how do i use it?
[13:05] <ChessTeach> is there anyway to get more desktops in ubuntu, and also maybe give them temporary names?
[13:05] <dr_willis> ChessTeach,  the 'ccsm' tool lets you select ooodles of them if you want.
[13:05] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[13:06] <dr_willis> for Unity i think it must be a 2x range.. 2 rows..
[13:06] <onryo> dr_willis OK was just wondering. In my case the point is that I like to have the code as src so I can clean stuff up if needed. Kernel blobs in ring-0 tend to put me on edge too.
[13:07] <movan2011> DJHenjin, the nice column relates to the priority of a process.  If it has a negative value it has higher priority.  I don't know the ins and outs of linux but I expect it means the processor will keep tabs on the process more often and may afford more processing time to get its job done.
[13:07] <ChessTeach> dr_willis: simple_ccsm?
[13:08] <dr_willis> i dont use simple_ccsm
[13:08] <dr_willis> its to simple. :)
[13:08] <ChessTeach> :-)
[13:08] <ChessTeach> then compiz-config?
[13:08] <dr_willis> i use ccsm - yes.. when i use compiz
[13:08] <ChessTeach> cool
[13:09] <DJHenjin> okay this is odd, a new symptom
[13:09] <DJHenjin> intermittent freezing after random duration with no warnings
[13:09] <DamienCassou> hi
[13:10] <DamienCassou> I would like to install a package which depends on libboost1.40-all-dev but this package does not exist anymore (I believe it has been replaced by libboost1.42-all-dev). Is there anything I can do?
[13:11] <volkswagner> Greetings, I'm still trying to troubleshoot minimal install, Ubuntu 11.04, LXDE, getting regular user shutdown options in logout-menu
[13:12] <dr_willis> what would Depend on a -dev pckage?   if you are compiling the source. it should compiler with the newer versions id hope.
[13:12] <volkswagner> I see this in .xsession-errors   polkit-gnome-1-Message: Failed to connect to the session bus: //bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
[13:12] <DJHenjin> seems to freeze on when the cpu is under high load
[13:12] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  you mean you are not getting regular user shutdown option? you using GDM/KDM/whatever lubuntu uses?
[13:13] <DamienCassou> dr_willis: it might be because it's a package for developers
[13:13] <volkswagner> dr_willis:  Yes.. if I log in via root and run startx I can get the options after I added policykit-1-gnome but not sure how to allow regular user
[13:14] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  only time ive ever seen those not show up. is when not using gdm/kdm/???dm
[13:14] <dr_willis> Im not even sure what lubuntu uses by default.. and im using Lubuntu now. :()
[13:15] <dr_willis> lxdm it seems :)
[13:15] <volkswagner> dr_willis, correct no login manager... is it required, as I had it working in past versions of Debian5, which now does not work in Debian 6
[13:15] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  no idea. I just recall never seeing the shutdown option Unless i was using some *dm login manager
[13:16] <dr_willis> You could always logout then hit alt-ctrl-delete :)
[13:16] <volkswagner> I have seen some reference to have passwordless sudo, but several attempts I could not eliminate password prompt
[13:17] <volkswagner> dr_willis: I think logout crashes X... I have to use a terminal to shutdown, reboot, Kinda pain with a tablet :(
[13:18] <dr_willis> you can setup the sudoers to allow  'sudo somecommand' without needing a password.. or you could 'suid' the command to shutdiown/reboot/whatever  (NOT a good idea)
[13:19] <dr_willis> using 'startx' on a tablet? that seems.. weird..
[13:19] <ffwacom> hey guys i ran headless ubuntu in vmware, but i installed X however i can't set the default resolution :( :( QQ
[13:19] <DJHenjin> hmm
[13:19] <nicola> hi
[13:19] <DJHenjin> would ubuntu 10.04 work on a fujitsu tablet?
[13:20] <DJHenjin> with pen input
[13:20] <Resager> hi guys
[13:20] <volkswagner> dr_willis: I have seen other how-to's mentioning "exec ck startlxde" or similar but I don't see proper syntax for Ubuntu
[13:20] <nicola> Do you have problems with acpi, and ubuntu?
[13:20] <ffwacom> xorg.conf aint workin
[13:21] <dr_willis> never heard of a 'ck' command..
[13:21] <volkswagner> dr_willis: thanks for input, let me see if I can get more info,
[13:21] <zvacet> volkswagner: see if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132821&highlight=sudoers can help you
[13:21] <volkswagner> ck I think is consolekit
[13:22] <dr_willis> i would just use lxdm and let it autologin if needed
[13:25] <theadmin> dr_willis: How to configure lxdm to autologin, actually?
[13:25] <volkswagner> dr_willis: I think lubuntu uses "start-lubuntu"
[13:25] <dr_willis> not sure. i recall the lubuntu installer asking if i wanted to do so.. so it aparently can do it. :)
[13:25] <theadmin> dr_willis: lol okay
[13:25] <dr_willis>  /etc/lxdm has config files
[13:25] <theadmin> dr_willis: I use lxdm with openbox so I suppose some config tools *might* be missing
[13:26] <volkswagner> here is my complete .xsession-errors file http://paste.ubuntu.com/627937/
[13:27] <dr_willis>  config file in /etc/lxdm has a login=XXXXX line for an example

[13:29] <edent> Is there a better / official way of mapping mouse buttons than xinput set-button-map ?
[13:29] <dr_willis> edent,  for logitech mice i saw some 3rd party mouse drivers/config tools once.  but not suire if they work for any other brand mouse.
[13:30] <edent> dr_willis - they don't, I found them too - but they don't work
[13:30] <edent> My mouse works, I just want to permanently store my xinput preferences rather than running the command each time.
[13:30] <dr_willis> i cant even rember the company name/program name. i used them ages ago for my mx518 they worked then..
[13:30] <dr_willis> make a script that auto-starts
[13:31] <DJHenjin> cronjob time looks like
[13:31] <edent> dr_willis I have - but if I unplug my mouse, it forgets them.
[13:31] <ylmf> ohno
[13:31] <dr_willis> edent,  theres udev rules you could mess with I guess..
[13:31] <Peanut> Hi, I've just updated the e1000e driver on my new 11.04 install. If I do rmmod/modprobe e1000e, I get the working version, but after a reboot, I end up with the broken version again. Would 'update-initramfs -u' be enough to update the e1000e module in the initrd?
[13:32] <edent> dr_willis is there a tutorial / documentation for udev stuff?
[13:32] <dr_willis> !udev
[13:32] <dr_willis> aparently no factoid. :)
[13:32] <dr_willis> ive never messed with it. seen some guides on spefific things with it
[13:32] <ylmf> 有中国的吗
[13:33] <bazhang> !cn | ylmf
[13:34] <andrewS> silly question, please: if i am SSH'd into an ubuntu server from ubuntu desktop, is there some command i can use to transfer files to and from my local drive from within that SSH session?
[13:34] <edent> I used to use fdi / hal but that seems to have gone in 11.04
[13:34] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> !scp | andrewS
[13:34] <andrewS> kk ty. researching scp
[13:35] <edent> andrewS you need to use scp seperately - you can't transfer from an interactive SSH terminal.
[13:35] <jrib> andrewS: check out zssh sz and rz
[13:35] <andrewS> ahhh kk
[13:35] <Owner> greetings!
[13:35] <dr_willis> ssh is a handy handy handy tool......
[13:35] <theadmin> dr_willis: It's not a tool, it's a lifesaver :D
[13:35] <novusinvi> =)
[13:35] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> create a cron with keys ... zzz
[13:35] <dr_willis> sshfs lets you mount a remote box via ssh to a local directory. can be very usefull also
[13:35] <dr_willis> ssh+scp+sshfs  :)
[13:35] <novusinvi> Think if we still had to use telnet xD
[13:36] <andrewS> omg so much information
[13:36] <andrewS> lol
[13:36] <dr_willis> !ssh
[13:36] <DJHenjin> telnet is soo much fun though
[13:36] <Owner> SSL/HTTPS over compounded SSH2 cyphers over SSL/https !
[13:36] <dr_willis> just go spend a few hrs reading some ssh books. :)
[13:36] <magnetron> DJHenjin: lots of really old services are exposed as telnet
[13:36] <novusinvi> hah oo the unencrypted data! hah
[13:36] <DJHenjin> yeah and soo is an email server
[13:36] <llutz_> telnet-ssl exists
[13:37] <novusinvi> Why not just use ssh?
[13:37] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> who wants to know about cryptology
[13:37]  * magnetron approves of SSH
[13:37] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> lol
[13:37] <novusinvi> =P
[13:38] <Owner> layering your own personal private encryption over compounded SSH2 connections using various different cyphers is pretty darn secure ;-)
[13:38] <Owner> at least, it is for me..
[13:39] <Owner> the connections on the same server.. but you can pipleeline compounded tunnels of those.
[13:39] <edent> Anyone know if fdi still works in 11.04? If not - what has replaced it?
[13:39] <theadmin> edent: You mean fbi?
[13:39] <Owner> could still be tracked by timestamps.. but there's ways around that too.
[13:39] <theadmin> edent: That FrameBuffer Image viewer?
[13:39] <Owner> I mean.. time becomes irrelivant with enough distribution.
[13:40] <Owner> the only thing left is strentgh or lack of what's required to crack it.
[13:40] <edent> theadmin - fdi allow syou to set rules for USB perhipherals. like Mice.  Was introduced in 10.10 then dropped.
[13:40] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> ssh_config = Cipher aes256-ctr    ftw
[13:40] <theadmin> edent: Hm, probably udev has some way for that, at least I remember making udev getting my usb modem to work
[13:40] <Owner> ssl is far easier to crack than compounded ssh2 cyphering.
[13:41] <edent> theadmin do you know of any good udev resources which may help me?
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: Nah, sorry, though googling "/etc/udev/rules.d" may hel[p
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: je;p
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: help*
[13:41] <theadmin> edent: lol, sorry
[13:41] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> Owner: lol specialy when u MITM :P
[13:42] <Owner> even using the public cyphers and SSH@2 (which is completely open source) https over compounded ssh2 cyphers would require millions of packets to crack and their wouldn't be anywhere near that many between server and client.
[13:42] <theadmin> edent: or "udev rules", simply
[13:42] <Owner> the 4423 has to be the same serv as the 22 ;-)
[13:42] <Owner> real easy to impliment.
[13:43] <Owner> SSL can be cracked using a web browser.
[13:43] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> 4x SLI GT5XX pyrite :P
[13:43] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> ppa's are insane crack quick :)

[13:44] <xokvictor> hi all! who know alternative putty (ssh client) for windows in ubuntu?
[13:44] <volkswagner> dr_willis: do you think I can edit  "/etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop"  http://paste.ubuntu.com/627944/
[13:45] <llutz_> xokvictor: cygwin+openssh-client
[13:45] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> xokvictor: imo putty is the best and it's freeeeee
[13:45] <Peanut> The update-initrmfs -u trick did indeed help, now I just need to file a bug that Ubuntu is shipping a broken e1000e driver...
[13:45] <dr_willis> volkswagner,  im not even sure how altering gnome stuff wiould be affecting lxde
[13:45] <Owner> anyone could make a n easy to use sniffer and ssl/https cracker.. using the open source of ssh, public cyphers, and the packets themselves.. you don't need more than a single transmission.
[13:45] <bazhang> Owner, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please
[13:45] <llutz_> Owner: please take your "mine is too long to hide" to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:46] <theadmin> Owner: illegal topics are discouraged though
[13:46] <Owner> bazhag.. the topic was SSH and SSL and cryptology..
[13:46] <Owner> where do you say I'm off topic?
[13:46] <bazhang> Owner, its not ubuntu support so #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:46] <llutz_> Owner: topic here is ubuntu-support only
[13:46] <Owner> I set the topic days ago and it's still here.
[13:46] <xokvictor> smahs3dtw1tch3d, what is "imo putty"?
[13:47] <smahs3dtw1tch3d> xokvictor: in my opinion
[13:47] <Owner> fine.. btw.. My Securecom is up.. (secure communication server ((unlike here))) magizian.hopto.org
[13:47] <adamisme> lol
[13:47] <op_amp> Hi, I was running ubuntu 10.10 on virtual machine. Yesterday my system wasn't booting properly. It was giving init=bootmgr related error. When I searched on internet, I found out that there might be someproblem with my filesystem. So, I had to run fsck command on my disk. I booted in a live cd and tried to run dismount sda1 using gparted but the option is not selectable.
[13:47] <Owner> SSHssh -2C -l user -p 20022 magizian2.dyndns.org
[13:47] <volkswagner> dr_willis:  addin policykit-1-gnome is what allowed root user menu option in logout menu, just found this may pertain? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677171
[13:47] <Owner> password: freeaccess
[13:48] <jrib> Owner: stop. now.  No more warnings.
[13:48] <sztuczka> Hi, Ive just installed lmms. When I am trying to figure about tools that I can use then I simply scroll over the icon to see that short description message - unfortunatelly that message appeared unreadable as it has almost the same background as fonts. Someone can help how to change that?
[13:48] <op_amp> So at present I can see a filesystem drive for my live boot and my original filesystem( I used for virtual machine 11gb) but its unmountable. When I tried to mount it I got this error " DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed:An operation is already pending"
[13:48] <xokvictor> but putty not for linux :(
[13:48] <xokvictor> twitch,
[13:48] <llutz_> !info putty
[13:48] <llutz_> xokvictor: ^^
[13:49] <xokvictor> ) llutz_ 10x ))
[13:49] <twitch> :)
[13:50] <llutz_> xokvictor: whyever you don't just use ssh (client)
[13:51] <xokvictor> WOW! i installed putty %) 10x u very much
[13:51] <xokvictor> llutz, because i love putty
[13:51] <dr_willis> I dont see much need for putty on linux.. unless you just gotta have their somewhat odd interface
[13:51] <nameless`> hello
[13:52] <nameless`> c'est quoi déjà l'alternative à etherpad qui se base sur openoffice pour l'édition collaborative ?
[13:52] <adamisme> hello
[13:52] <bazhang> nameless`, #ubuntu-fr for french please
[13:52] <edbian> adamisme: hello
[13:52] <xokvictor> i don't know how make profiles without putty for my servers

[13:52] <llutz_> xokvictor: ~/.ssh/config
[13:52] <nameless`> ops sorry
[13:53] <nameless`> i was asking what is the alternative to etherpad for real time collaborative editing, i think based on the oofice lib
[13:53] <bazhang> nameless`, tried in #openoffice.org yet?
[13:53] <xokvictor> llutz, 10x, i'm read about this
[13:54] <xophe> #Ulteo
[13:56] <les_> hey i ended up having to reinstall lol ty thou if ur still here jasl
[13:56] <bonhoffer> i have a problem on my ubuntu box that ln -s is putting a directory inside the target i'm specifying
[13:56] <twitch> bonhoffer: paste whole cmd please
[13:57] <bonhoffer> twitch: i think i see the problem, i need to delete the original directory, or else it puts the symbolic link inside
[13:57] <bonhoffer> twitch: i am interested in ls -not *.jpg
[13:57] <twitch> bonhoffer: if it is a dir make sure you end it in /
[13:57] <bonhoffer> is there a way to list all non-jpg files
[13:57] <bonhoffer> twitch: oh, that helps thanks
[13:58] <llutz_> bonhoffer: find path/ -type f ! -iname *.jpg
[13:58] <bonhoffer> nice, thanks
[13:59] <bonhoffer> llutz_: so the find command -- surprised that is not an ls option
[13:59] <bonhoffer> the find command is so powerful, thanks
[13:59] <bonhoffer> llutz_: you can use -not too right?
[14:00] <edbian> bonhoffer: ls | grep -v .jpg
[14:00] <llutz_> bonhoffer: yes, "ls" has --hide option, never used it though
[14:00] <dr_willis> i think ls has some invert option.. or you could grep it :)
[14:00] <bonhoffer> llutz_: ah, cool
[14:00] <dr_willis> Now.. find all *.mta files and delete them... : 2 points...
[14:00] <theadmin> dr_willis: find / -iname *.mta -exec rm '{}' \;
[14:00]  * edbian feels used
[14:01] <dr_willis> Bash quiz time :)
[14:01] <theadmin> dr_willis: Replace / with a proper folder, of course
[14:01] <bonhoffer> find -iname "*.mta" -exec . . .hey i was almost htere
[14:01] <llutz_> find bla -delete
[14:01] <bonhoffer> theadmin: i don't think you need the quotes around {} do you?
[14:01] <dr_willis> i want do do it for the whole mounted drive. :) this silly upnp server put .mta files all over my videos
[14:01] <edbian> places -> computer -> filesystem.  Click files ending in .mta
[14:01] <edbian> press delete
[14:01] <theadmin> bonhoffer: You do
[14:01] <edbian> (hold control of course while selecting files)
[14:02] <bonhoffer> theadmin: thanks
[14:02]  * edbian laughs at his own joke because nobody else did :(
[14:02] <dr_willis> ;()
[14:03] <theadmin> llutz_: ...really? o_O
[14:03] <theadmin> llutz_: Cool
[14:03] <llutz_> theadmin: ?
[14:03] <theadmin> llutz_: find has a -delete flag? If so that's cool
[14:03] <llutz_> man find
[14:03] <llutz_> at least gnu-find has
[14:03] <private_meta> I installed Ubuntu Server (LTS 10.04) on a ProLiant Server,  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5430  @ 2.66GHz, but in /proc/cpuinfo it shows cpu MHz : 2003.000, is there some energy saving there I need to turn off?
[14:04] <dr_willis> im used to building up 'batch' files from simpiler commands from years  and years ago
[14:04] <dr_willis> private_meta,  put it under load.. check it again. see if it goes up.
[14:04] <private_meta> hmm.. load... lessee...
[14:06] <dr_willis> 2.66 to 2.03 dosent seem like much throtteling to me
[14:06] <dr_willis> seems like an odd # also. but ive never used a xeon cpu.
[14:06] <theadmin> private_meta: cat /dev/urandom | gzip --best | grep WindowsXP # xD
[14:06] <dr_willis> bbl
[14:07] <DJHenjin> anyone have any ideas on my ubuntu 10.04 freezing problem?
[14:08] <twitch> upgrade?
[14:08] <private_meta> dr_willis: ok, it went up
[14:08] <private_meta> hmm but I need max cpu speed
[14:09] <DJHenjin> i guess i should sudo apt-get update
[14:09] <CruX|> hello, is there any Upnp command line client for linux ? I need to forward ports on my router
[14:10] <private_meta> so, how would i turn off that throttling?
[14:10] <private_meta> or, how would I get max cpu speed, without generating load?
[14:10] <sw0rdfish> hey guys i want to install a timer, any suggestions?
[14:10] <DJHenjin> sw0rdfish a good movie
[14:11] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: The sleep command + mplayer
[14:11] <sw0rdfish> hehe
[14:11] <llutz_> private_meta: why do you want to waste energy without needs?
[14:11] <sw0rdfish> talking about a timer man
[14:12] <sw0rdfish> I'm speed testing myself on reading, and need to use a timer, so that it shows me how many minutes and seconds i've wasted on one exercise.
[14:12] <bazhang> sw0rdfish, timer-applet
[14:12] <private_meta> llutz_: Well, if I can fetch the maximum speed without generating load unecessarily, I don't care about turning off throtteling
[14:12] <llutz_> sw0rdfish: time ls -lRa
[14:13] <sw0rdfish> bazhang, i installed that but didn't find it anywhere, they said in a forum post it 'sits on your panel'
[14:13] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: There's a pretty cool time management app (which obviously has a timer) called Rachota if you want
[14:13] <llutz_> private_meta: if there's no load, there's no need to run full speed. look for cpufreq governors
[14:13] <bazhang> sw0rdfish, right click add to panel then
[14:13] <DJHenjin> why dont you use an online speed reading test?
[14:13] <sw0rdfish> oh right, will do bazhang
[14:14] <private_meta> I have to report cpu speed through a c++ program, i don't have any online test or reader and I NEED to know the max. speed
[14:15] <edbian> Is it possible to write an rsync command that pulls from directory A and puts it into dir B and then pulls from C and puts it into D?  My problem is it is remote.  I have two commands right now (one for A->B one for C->D) so it asks my password twice.
[14:15] <edbian> private_meta: If you put load on the CPU you'll get fullspeed.
[14:15] <sw0rdfish> theadmin, its not packaged with ubuntu is it
[14:15] <popey> edbian: I use ssh keys for that
[14:15] <edbian> popey: That's one way...
[14:15] <pck_> Hi, Could anyone help me.  Everytime I turn on my computer my wireless is disabled.  When I type sudo modprobe b43 it turns on fine, but when I turn off my computer and turn it one the next time its diabled again.  Its not a problem, just a it annoying
[14:15] <popey> edbian: keys with no pass phrase that is
[14:16] <edbian> popey: of course
[14:16] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: Probably not, but it's Java-based and runs just fine: http://rachota.sf.net
[14:16] <private_meta> edbian: I said I want to avoid that
[14:16] <edbian> pck_: Can you boot (do not run dmesg) and tell me what lspci -k says your card is using?  I think that the wrong module is getting loaded.
[14:16] <llutz_> pck_: add "b43" to /etc/modules
[14:16] <edbian> private_meta: You want to avoid putting load on the CPU?  The program is going to put load on the CPU.
[14:17] <pck_> edbian: I'm not sure what you mean
[14:17] <edbian> pck_: Can you boot (do not run modprobe b43)* and tell me...
[14:17] <private_meta> edbian: sure, but not 100%
[14:17] <edbian> private_meta: If you program is not hard enough you won't see how fast the CPU can go.
[14:17] <pck_> ok, so I'll have to log off this then...
[14:17] <private_meta> edbian: the reporting program is not enough to generate enough load for the cpu speed to go up
[14:18] <edbian> private_meta: Then it is a bad program to see how fast the CPU can go.  It's like asking to see how fast a ferrari can go in the 25yard dash.
[14:18] <theadmin> private_meta: Okay look, as soon as your system will *need* the full CPU speed, it'll use it -- so why bother :/
[14:18] <private_meta> ...
[14:18] <llutz_> private_meta: to just get the max possible speed: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
[14:19] <private_meta> thanks, that's what I was looking for
[14:20] <llutz_> private_meta: why didn't you ask earlier? ;)
[14:20] <private_meta> ...
[14:20] <rileyp> that should be cpu* not cpu?  or use cpu0 or cpu1 etc
[14:20] <llutz_> rileyp: that should read cpu?
[14:20] <e-DIO-t> did anyone make a NRG DSc328 work?
[14:20] <rileyp> cpu* will report all cpu's
[14:20] <llutz_> rileyp: unless you have a cpu with >10 cores
[14:21] <llutz_> rileyp: you want to read how bash expands an ?

[14:27] <oYseDnV> Just wondering if there's something wrong with the ISO file of Ubuntu 11.04????????
[14:27] <m1chael> i upgraded to the latest ubuntu, and now when my ubuntu machine starts, the display is all weird.. as if the refresh isnt working right... its like black and as you move the mouse and drag stuff around- its very trippy.. what could this be???
[14:28] <pksadiq> oYseDnV: check md5 of iso file
[14:28] <AdvoWork> how would i do a dns lookup for a remote address?
[14:29] <usr13> pck_: You might try wicd
[14:29] <usr13> ... as your network-manager
[14:29] <oYseDnV> pksadiq: Pardon me?
[14:29] <pck_> usr13: how do I do that
[14:29] <pksadiq> !checksum | oYseDnV
[14:29] <basy> Is it possible to configure 1xPC with 2xmonitor, 2xmouse 2xkeyboard to have 2 separated X11 session, each use one display, mouse and keyboard... I want to have something like virtual 2 computers on 1 hardware.. How to config this ?
[14:29] <usr13> pck_: sudo apt-get install wicd ; apt-get remove network-manager  #And then log out and back in again.
[14:30] <oYseDnV> Oh, thanks.
[14:30] <DJHenjin> whats the recommended specs for ubuntu 10.04
[14:30] <pck_> usr13: there is a wicd network manager in the software center, would installing that do the same thing?
[14:30] <usr13> pck_: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager  #And then log out and back in again.
[14:31] <edbian> pck_: I'm reading...
[14:31] <usr13> pck_: Yes
[14:31] <DJHenjin> well, minimum requirements
[14:31] <pksadiq> !requirements | DJHenjin
[14:31] <Azelphur> DJHenjin: just google exactly what you said...it's the first result
[14:31] <edbian> pck_: usr13 Switching to wcid is not going to solve the problem.
[14:31] <pck_> ok, I didn't think it would
[14:31] <edbian> pck_: You have the wl module installed so it is trying to load that.  Getting rid of that package / module will fix the problem.
[14:31] <n1xNc0d3> when I press Alt+Space the gtk window decorator is crashing! what might be the problem?
[14:32] <ntr0py> I am trying to get proftpd to authenticate users against a postgresql db and i am missing "mod_sql_passwd.c" for "SQLPasswordEngine" directive... Does somebody know where it did go?
[14:32] <usr13> edbian: it is BCM4311
[14:32] <pck_> ok, how do I do that?
[14:32] <edbian> usr13: I can see that.  That uses b43
[14:32] <edbian> pck_: I'm looking up the package name right now
[14:32] <DJHenjin> hmmmm i have all the minimums, processor is double the minimum, but its still slow as hell
[14:32] <DJHenjin> and freezes often
[14:32] <compdoc> DJHenjin, check the smart data for the hdd
[14:33] <DJHenjin> could something be off in the custom ISO i used to install?
[14:33] <antonio_> hi
[14:33] <DJHenjin> its a old scsi drive
[14:33] <pksadiq> n1xNc0d3: did you check whether that key combinations is binded with something else? system > prefere..> keyboard short....
[14:33] <edbian> pck_: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
[14:33] <edbian> pck_: That should do it.
[14:33] <cafenet> how can i recover my  password?
[14:33] <DJHenjin> pretty sure older scsi drives dont have smart data
[14:33] <antonio_> which is the Spanish chat?
[14:33] <pksadiq> !spain
[14:33] <antonio_> sorry for my bad english
[14:34] <compdoc> drives can certainly be a bottleneck
[14:34] <antonio_> thanks
[14:34] <DJHenjin> even at 160 MB per second
[14:34] <DJHenjin> lol
[14:34] <n1xNc0d3> pksadiq, it's at its default settings
[14:34] <edbian> pck_: Make sense?  What questions do you have?
[14:34] <pck_> done.   I'll have  to reboot see if it worked.
[14:35] <edbian> pck_: k
[14:35] <pck_> thanks
[14:35] <kokozedman> hey guys, anyone knows what should i disable in the daily cron ... i'm getting a massive server load every-morning, and it is affecting all users, as i have a lot of kvm machines
[14:36] <kokozedman> here's what inside the /etc/cron.daily: apt  bsdmainutils  dpkg  logrotate  man-db  ntp  standard
[14:36] <sw0rdfish> oh lol I just found I already HAD the program I needed, called 'stopwatch'
[14:36] <llutz_> kokozedman: shift the time cron.daily runs. edit /etc/crontab
[14:37] <kokozedman> llutz, thanks for that... but that doesn't remove the fact that the main server node is having a load of about 40+ when the daily tasks run... i'd like to know if there is one of these tasks that are known to be very heave on the system
[14:38] <kokozedman> with that said, i still am going to shift the time... but just to avoid troubles that tend to happen in the kvm instances when the main node is under extreme stress
[14:38] <llutz_> kokozedman: i's suspect man-db and logrotate
[14:39] <nightcrow> can allowing ICMP redirects be dangerous?
[14:39] <jessica-cr> well, good morning/afternoon/evening everyone
[14:39] <jjp> nightcrow: certainly so. I may allow middle-man actions
[14:39] <nightcrow> so best to keep them disabled?
[14:40] <nightcrow> jjp: i dont totally understand the concept
[14:40] <nightcrow> its just routing
[14:40] <tham> what's the difference between unity and unity-2d?
[14:40] <nightcrow> if there is shorted route, use this one
[14:40] <jjp> nightcrow: that's my position. Some would argue that redirect would provide failover path
[14:40] <D-coy> . .. zZzz
[14:41] <jjp> nightcrow: no, shorter route should be dealt with by a routing protocol (rip, ospf, is-is...)
[14:41] <jessica-cr> tham, unity's written with gtk2/gtk3 libs, unity 2d's written with qt libs. they're quite different even if they look the same
[14:42] <tham> jessica-cr, Hmm, so unity-2d is light weight coz they're written in qt?
[14:43] <DeWE> hello, i was connecting to by server via xrdp successfully but i am having a connection error today. it occured before i got updates, upgrades but still occuring. 10.04 lts.
[14:43] <basy> Is it possible to configure 1xPC with 2xmonitor, 2xmouse 2xkeyboard to have 2 separated X11 session, each use one display, mouse and keyboard... I want to have something like virtual 2 computers on 1 hardware.. How to config this ? Which chanel i have to ask this question?
[14:43] <jessica-cr> tham, do u really think unity-2d's light weight? unity-2d doesn't require 3d accel just 'coz it doesn't use compiz as window manager
[14:43] <Guest35741> v..zz....t..xp...z...r.||...eh..x..|v...~.p.zx.t.~.vmXtz...~.p..t.....p...z...l..v..mpad...jntz..x..|..~.p.t.....v..z.x~...t..r...ortz.x.v....x...t....~|.n..qteh..mptz..~.....~.p........}foZ.n.Y\x~.p.t..~.v....x.wz..pv....~|p||t....|
[14:43] <nightcrow> jjp: i agree, but then why the need for icmp redirects?
[14:44] <AQuintero> Hi everyone ... I need to update pcre for ubuntu 10.04 but I can't find libpcre when I put apt-get update ... Should I do that manually, downloading the package from pcre.org ?
[14:45] <tham> jessica-cr, I thought it's lightweight (heard that somewhere) so installed it in my netbook. Which of the two would you recommend for a low power machine like a netbook?
[14:45] <omichalek> hi all, how can I set my DNS servers (for all my connections)?
[14:45] <llutz_> !info libpcre3 lucid
[14:45] <llutz_> AQuintero: ^^
[14:45] <usr13> omichalek: You should see only one.
[14:45] <AQuintero> ok, thanks llutz
[14:46] <Guest35741> icmp type 7 req from land to land from broadcast IP.. or from broadcatst mac to land mac broadcast ip to land ip: land ip = <IP_ADDRESS> land mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 broadcast mac = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff broadcast ip = <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:46] <usr13> omichalek: You can just ping them one at a time.... Right?
[14:46] <jessica-cr> tham, surely unity-2d :) it's not light weight as it seems but... it feets better on netbook device 'cuz it doesn't use gpu acceleration (that netbooks obviously don't have)
[14:46] <Guest35741> or subnet nn:nnNNN NNN.NNN.NNN.255
[14:47] <omichalek> usr13 I want to manually set my prefered DNS server
[14:47] <tham> jessica-cr, Ah right. I was a bit confused on this. Thanks :)
[14:47] <llutz_> omichalek: using dhcp? edit dhclient.conf
[14:47] <usr13> omichalek: edit /etc/resolv.conf  and place the prefered one first.  But, if you are using DHCP, the router will sent that info each time you come back to the network.
[14:48] <Guest35741> and I recently uncovered a bash exploit which I had to patch my bash for.. has to do with the cd //
[14:48] <omichalek> llutz_ that will apply to all the wifi connections?
[14:48] <Guest35741> crashes the kernel..
[14:48] <jessica-cr> tham, u're welcome :)
[14:48] <llutz_> omichalek: that will apply to all connetions using dhcp
[14:48] <omichalek> llutz_ cool will try that
[14:49] <Guest35741> version 20 of my OS will have a workaround instead of just the bash missingworkaround.
[14:49] <omichalek> usr13 so that would get overwritten when I connnect to a new dhcp server?
[14:49] <usr13> omichalek: llutz_ I'm sorry, I guess omichalek was talking about the server not the client?
[14:49] <llutz_> omichalek: should be /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf "prepend domain-name-servers w.x.y.z"
[14:50] <usr13> omichalek: Yes, the DHCP server will send IP info to each PC that connects via DHCP, (and will include one or two nameserver IPs).
[14:51] <omichalek> usr13 I know, but I want to use other servers no matter what connection my laptop uses at the time
[14:51] <Guest35741> and have you noticed how much of the net gets redirected to other servers tdue to the manifold DNS services... the server then instead of trying to clone parts of the internet just passes the data .. although a  few don't pass data between client and real server.. some actualy try to clone the web .. or what they can of it.. easy to detect location via triangulation and packet timestamping.
[14:52] <Guest35741> and on ubuntu (or anything else) I haven't been able to get gcc-4.6 to compile on any arch.
[14:52] <usr13> omichalek: as llutz_ says, you can edit dhclient.conf
[14:52] <llutz_> Guest35741: do you have any ubuntu support related question? if not, pleas continue somewhere else
[14:52] <Guest35741> using any prior gwhich gcc does gcc4.6 compile under for ubuntu?
[14:53] <Guest35741> UBUNTU QUESTION: can anyone here tell me which GCC the gcc 4.6 can compile under?
[14:53] <dr_willis> Guest35741,  you may want to select an actual nick. and check yiour font encoding. i see a lot funny charancters in your text.
[14:54] <theadmin> dr_willis: Apparently, his/her/its encoding is KOI8-U, because that's what my Putty happened to be running under and I see no funny chars
[14:55] <nobody^^^> cause I haven't been able to get gcc4.6 and a few others to compile on any system using gcc 4.3, 3or 3.
[14:55] <nobody^^^> gets pretty far then broken c code.
[14:55] <usr13> omichalek: i.e. [add line]:  prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:56] <nobody^^^> andone anyone here had success compiling gcc4.6 on ubuntu..
[14:56] <usr13> omichalek:  prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>; #Forgot the ; at the end.
[14:56] <nobody^^^> if so, which gcc version was used?
[14:56] <nobody^^^> ...guessing that's a no.
[14:57] <omichalek> llutz_ usr13 what is the difference between /etc/dhcp and /etc/dhcp3 ?
[14:57] <nobody^^^> swell.. austarrailia isn't the origin.
[14:57] <usr13> llutz_: I think you would also need to remove "domain-name-servers" from the request line too.  Right?
[14:57] <hipster-swede> hi, i just installed lubuntu but it seems to have the wrong keyboard layout. ive tried to use the lxde keymap selector, and ive tried to dpkg-reconfigure console-data. both these RESET ON REBOOT. how do i persistently choose keyboard layout_
[14:58] <nobody^^^> ..well I doubt australia is the location... of and I don't think that's the real person.
[14:58] <llutz_> usr13: depends how many own you define and if you really only want those.
[14:58] <nobody^^^> could easily test...
[14:58] <nobody^^^> what was the first waterbed model?
[14:59] <usr13> llutz_: Ok, well if it will add the ones you specify as the fist ones in the /etc/resolv.conf file, it won't matter than.
[14:59] <nobody^^^> on green oaks.
[14:59] <nobody^^^> ...hmm.. could be.
[14:59] <usr13> *then     not than.
[14:59] <nobody^^^> oh well, go piss off then... bye all.
[15:00] <llutz_> usr13: yes, it will "prepend" yours
[15:00] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, just open the menu -> Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse
[15:00] <hipster-swede> Heinz_L_Maennche: yes, but it resets on reboot!
[15:01] <usr13> llutz_: Ok, very well.  Thanks for the clarification.
[15:01] <kFj> hi. im getting this when trying to install likewise-open after upgrading to natty: Warning: /etc/init.d/lsassd stop returned 1

[15:01] <usr13> llutz_: ... and sorry for the confusion.
[15:01] <omichalek> llutz_ usr13 /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf should my new line be the first one of (uncommented) lines?
[15:01] <kFj> sorry.. wrong shortcut ./
[15:02] <kFj> http://pastebin.com/M8iE28Rm here..
[15:02] <usr13> omichalek: You should see the line commented that says:  #prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>;
[15:02] <llutz_> omichalek: just replace the commented line "#"
[15:02] <usr13> omichalek: You can just uncomment that line and replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the nameserver(s) of your choice.
[15:02] <omichalek> llutz_ I see, great thank you both
[15:03] <omichalek> usr13 you too :)
[15:03] <b0ef> ehlo
[15:03] <usr13> NP
[15:03] <b0ef> if I install 10.04 on a computer later today, I would get a huge load of updates. I'm right now on a high bandwidth station. Is there any way to get a wget list of packages that I can bring with me to that site?
[15:04] <hipster-swede> b0ef: get 10.04.3, it's fairly up to date already
[15:04] <dr_willis> i agree.. the Point releases are handy
[15:04] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/168156-lubuntu-cant-remove-keyboard-layout.html
[15:04] <usr13> b0ef: That is a good question.  I would be interested to know the answer. (If there is one.)
[15:05] <b0ef> hipster-swede: right, but I need to install it via memory stick and I don't want to make one now
[15:05] <b0ef> I just want the packages with me on a memory stick
[15:05] <JoeBloggs> #drupal-support
[15:05] <JoeBloggs> bah
[15:05] <hipster-swede> Heinz_L_Maennche: thanks
[15:06] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, i hope this will help...looks much like a tweak instead of a nice way...but it should work
[15:07] <Heinz_L_Maennche> hipster-swede, maybe u should ask in #lubuntu chanel
[15:07] <mobius420> greetings ;]
[15:07] <hipster-swede> Heinz_L_Maennche: cheers
[15:07] <Heinz_L_Maennche> ;-)
[15:08] <mobius420> does anyone know of a biometric fingerprint scanner interface for ubuntu?
[15:08]  * mobius420 imagines being able to scan print for sudo in terminal
[15:08] <mobius420> sigh
[15:08] <Heinz_L_Maennche> mobius420, don't trust fingerprint scanners!!
[15:08] <Heinz_L_Maennche> ^^
[15:09] <dr_willis> seems those fingerprint scanners were a popular gizmo for a while. but i dont recall seeing many laptops with them last week when i was looking in the stores.
[15:09] <Lofde> anyone have any success using LogMeIn Hamachi with ubuntu 11.04... i installed it according to a tutorial i found online, and it works when i first 'go online' itll stay green for a little while.. but then on my other system. i see the linux box flashing green...
[15:09] <dr_willis> This one came with some face-id-webcam software. :)  took 10x longer to login that wah then ysing a password
[15:09] <mobius420> it seems to work fine on a hrdware level
[15:09] <TheRedOctober> dr_willis: because they aren't very reliable.
[15:10] <mobius420> any documentation to that effect?  I use a lenovo t61 notebook
[15:10] <vandemar> dr_willis: they still make htem
[15:10] <escott> mobius420, what do you want to do with it
[15:11] <Heinz_L_Maennche> TheRedOctober, well i had a laptop with face recognision once...was really fast...but u just needed to put a photo of the user u want to lag in as in front of the camera
[15:11] <kFj> http://pastebin.com/M8iE28Rm how to fix this? got this after do-release-upgrade. so i uninstalled likewise-open..but still get this error when trying to install..
[15:11] <kFj> i can install other stuff with no problem
[15:11] <vandemar> skip it, set up a smartcard token if you want more security than a fingerprint
[15:11] <Heinz_L_Maennche> *log in^^
[15:11] <vandemar> and more than a pssword
[15:11] <mobius420> escott,  I imagined being able to simply scan my finger for interactions such as when I am prompted for a admin password in daily usage of my machine,  i.e.  updates, sudo command etc
[15:12] <mobius420> no big deal but i think it would be neat
[15:12] <mobius420> it's not really for *extra* security
[15:12] <mobius420> I use true crypt + cascade for data crypto
[15:12] <mobius420> i would not depend on such a novelty for real security
[15:13] <mobius420> so I def. dig where you guys are coming from ,  but understand I am actually just wondering if ubuntu supports the thing at all
[15:13] <Heinz_L_Maennche> mobius420, it is nice until u cut your finger or ur sensor breaks...and u'll probably get a lot of "could not read fingerprint" messages^^
[15:13] <escott> mobius420, im not sure about gksudo, i know you can modify the gdm pam rules to require or utilize the fprintd module for login. perhaps gksudo has a pam configuration somewhere. my experience with a bloomberg keyboard fingerprint scanner was that it was a serious PITA. I suspect you would change your mind as soon as you started using it
[15:13] <mobius420> Heinz_L_Maennche,  lulz
[15:14] <vandemar> mobius420: in order not to have too many false negatives, the parameters of the fingerprint reader are opened up substantially.  I think it's like 2-5% false positives as a result.  if you're okay with at least 1-2 out of 100 people being able to swipe their finger and get access, go ahead
[15:14] <mobius420> surely there could be a dual acceptance config. as in if the scanner was cracked or disabled that I could just type the password in manually yes?
[15:15] <mobius420> vandemar,  that is perfectly acceptable
[15:15] <mobius420> it's a development machine
[15:15] <mobius420> vandemar,  although i have to say those numers are a bit startling
[15:15] <mobius420> I was not aware the technology was so weak
[15:16] <mobius420> it's an older laptop and I know they were popular for a time,  and then they kind of just disappeared
[15:16] <escott> mobius420, there was a blog entry about that for gdm on planet gnome yesterday. you can have it fail over to password if the fingerprint fails, or try parallel pam stacks and allow fingerprint OR password in the latest gdm test branch. but again its a bit of a waste of time, having to try your fingerprint x many times and then being allowed to use your password anyways
[15:16] <mobius420> escott,  the whole idea is not to add more security, it's to streamline the act of entering the password
[15:17] <mobius420> theres nothing secure or even private about this machine
[15:17] <vandemar> change your password to "a" then :)
[15:17] <Heinz_L_Maennche> mobius420, from my experience using such fingerprint readers is pretty annoying...they just don't work that well...
[15:17] <ayush_> why is that a simple hello world c program compiles without error through gcc in terminal, but when i try to run in it anjuta, it throws an error?
[15:17] <escott> mobius420, if you wanted you could just remove the password requirement for that user to sudo
[15:18] <mobius420> arg....
[15:18] <mobius420> okay
[15:18] <Heinz_L_Maennche> but if i want to use it...i am sure there is a way
[15:18] <mobius420> thanks for the information
[15:18] <escott> mobius420, pam will allow that. it would be like the live cd. you say "sudo" to run something as root. no password required
[15:19] <stretchmark> hi guys, how can I have an X app starting with width maximized and height preset ?
[15:19] <dr_willis> stretchmark,  theres compiz plugins that can do that.
[15:19] <escott> some people come up with the craziest ideas... why would you jump to fingerprint reader instead of adding NOPASSWD to your sudoers file?
[15:20] <dr_willis> i would have to wonder what if you diodent have the window selected that was wanting the password.. what would happen
[15:20] <belgani> hello
[15:20] <stretchmark> dr_willis: no chance to do I via a config file ?
[15:21] <mrdeb> is gnome 3 incompatible with compiz
[15:21] <mrdeb> and unity
[15:21] <stretchmark> s/I/it
[15:21] <dr_willis> stretchmark,  its a feature of the window manager
[15:21] <escott> stretchmark, no its in the window manager. you need the matching plugin in ccsm iirc
[15:21] <dr_willis> stretchmark,  devilspie can proberldo it also.
[15:21] <belgani> ive a little problem with sound in ubuntu 10.04
[15:21] <escott> mrdeb, yes it uses mutter
[15:21] <belgani> could anyone help me plz
[15:21] <dr_willis> but that can be a picky program
[15:21] <dasei> mrdeb: no, but g3 is beta still so own risk
[15:21] <escott> !gnome3 | mrdeadlocked
[15:22] <escott> !gnome3 | mrdeb
[15:22] <dasei> escott: on my vm (2d though) g3 works with unity in parallel, not so in native 3d ?
[15:22] <mrdeb> dasei: gnome 3 is out of beta
[15:23] <qknight_> i have uninstalled network-manager and configured /etc/network/interafces properly but after a reboot no interface of my two interfaces has an ip assigned. after i execute ifup eth0; ifup eth1 it is working. how do i automate this? (i'm on ubuntu 10.10)
[15:24] <escott> dasei, iirc thats just not possible unless you mean the 10.10 version of unity. they system libraries all conflict because of gtk2 and gtk3
[15:24] <mrdeb> why does networkmanager ask for authentic but wicd does not
[15:25] <mrdeb> wicd is so much simpler
[15:25] <escott> mrdeb, gnome3 is in oneric (because unity is gtk3 based) currently it works but there are no gtk3 themes so the applications are ugly, but the shell works fine
[15:25] <vandemar> ubunto caches authentication for a little while
[15:25] <mrdeb> why are there no themes
[15:25] <mrdeb> gnome 3 should wokr as well as gnome 2 right now but it doesnt
[15:25] <qknight_> i might have forgotten: auto eth0 ....
[15:26] <escott> mrdeb, they just haven't packaged them yet. if you can hold out until october everything should be ok for gnome3 in ubuntu
[15:27] <alienmindtrick> i keep getting this error when i run Update Manager:  W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

[15:33] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[15:34] <Tetracomm> Could someone help me to get my microphone to work in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? I tried connecting both the microphone and the mp3 player output to the microphone jack on the computer but it won't work, and Skype has the same problem.
[15:34] <newbeee> I get a 404 error upon visiting http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[15:35] <newbeee> After installing lamp
[15:35] <theadmin> newbeee: lamp does not include pma
[15:35] <Pici> newbeee: Did you install phpmyadmin?
[15:35] <newbeee> Tetracomm have you tried the alsamixer
[15:35] <coz_> newbeee,  same here  I dont have lamp
[15:35] <coz_> newbeee,   sorry   wasnt paying attention
[15:35] <newbeee> yes I installed that too sorry forgot to mention
[15:35] <newbeee> Tetracomm: DId you try alsamixer
[15:35] <pksadiq> Tetracomm: right click volume applet > sound preferences > Input > select the working connector
[15:36] <Tetracomm> newbeee: How do I open the alsamixer again?
[15:36] <Tetracomm> pksadiq: That didn't work.
[15:36] <escott> Tetracomm, open a terminal and type alsamixer
[15:36] <newbeee> again go to terminal and type alsamixer
[15:36] <Heinz_L_Maennche> Tetracomm, had the same problem...pulse-audio did not work for me...i uninstalled it and use als instead
[15:36] <Heinz_L_Maennche> *alsa
[15:37] <xamox> is it possible to build a 32bit deb on a 64 machine?
[15:37] <escott> Tetracomm, hit tab to go to input. make sure capture is at 100% and kick the mic boost up to the max
[15:37] <pksadiq> !chroot
[15:37] <Pici> newbeee: check to see if you a symlink to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[15:37] <newbeee> a what?? sorry pici i dint understand
[15:38] <Pici> newbeee: Please pastebin the output of the following:  ls -l /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[15:38] <escott> xamox, yes and no. you can run 32bit applications on 64bit. installing a 32bit deb someone else built won't work. and building a 32bit deb for someone else probably wouldnt work
[15:38] <Pici> !pastebin|  newbeee
[15:38] <xamox> escott, Ok, I came across some article talking about ialib32 or something like that.
[15:39] <newbeee> Pici: What am I supposed to do?I dint understand
[15:39] <xamox> escott, Can I build it in a 32bit Virtual Machine instead?
[15:39] <Pici> newbeee: Open a terminal.  Type; ls -l /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[15:39] <newbeee> ok
[15:39] <Pici> newbeee: And then paste the output of that to http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the url
[15:39] <escott> xamox, right. the challenge is all these compatibility libs. a true 32bit system won't have them. so im not sure what would happen if you tried to install something that was possibly linking to them. a vm is your best bet
[15:40] <Tetracomm> Heinz_L_maennche: Do i have to uninstall pulseaudio?
[15:40] <alienmindtrick> how do i fix this:  i keep getting this error when i run Update Manager:  W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[15:40] <alienmindtrick>  , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[15:41] <newbeee> Pici: The url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/627997/
[15:41] <Pici> alienmindtrick: Remove the repository, it looks like the PPA was deleted.
[15:41] <xamox> escott, right on, thanks
[15:41] <escott> Pici, alienmindtrick don't do that it will break your system
[15:42] <Pici> newbeee: Okay. Type this: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[15:42] <Pici> escott: Feel free to continue with alienmindtrick then.
[15:42] <Heinz_L_Maennche> Tetracomm, afaik u don't have to...you might as well just disable it or tell certain programs to use alsa instead...
[15:43] <Pici> newbeee: Then restart apache: sudo service apache2 restart
[15:43] <newbeee> ok
[15:43] <newbeee> just a minute
[15:43] <newbeee> yes done
[15:43] <Pici> newbeee: Browse to https://localhost/phpmyadmin/
[15:44] <Tetracomm> Heinz_L_maennche: How do I disable it?
[15:44] <newbeee> Wow its working Pici could you just give me an idea what was the problem
[15:44] <Pici> newbeee: The configuration file that tells apache that phpmyadmin exists wasn't being included.
[15:45] <Stormshadow> hi all.. question: What can i do to avoid partitioning a hardisk but still have several file systems containing unique data?
[15:45] <pythonirc101> I would like to club a few ubuntu boxes to store large number of files redundanty (10TB total space). What is a good software to use for this?
[15:45] <newbeee> Pici: hmmm ok thank you
[15:46] <th0r> Stormshadow: you mean you want to divide your hard drive into several pieces without dividing your hard drive into several pieces?
[15:46] <Heinz_L_Maennche> Tetracomm, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#PulseAudio%20Removal
[15:46] <Stormshadow> without partitioning
[15:46] <alienmindtrick> escott: so yes or no to remove repository?
[15:46] <Stormshadow> for eg. creating multiple vdisks using dd
[15:46] <DasEi> Stormshadow: you could use containers. like truecrypt
[15:46] <th0r> Stormshadow: no, you create multiple vdisks using virtualbox
[15:47] <Stormshadow> would creating file blobs via dd and mounting them as loop dev's make sense?
[15:47] <Pici> Stormshadow: I was just going to suggest that, it should work.
[15:47] <faizul> hi elky
[15:47] <Stormshadow> what is more efficient?
[15:48] <DasEi> Stormshadow: yes, dd- iso like with mounts, too
[15:48] <ikonia> Stormshadow: if they are images of a disk, with a valid partition table, sure
[15:48] <vandemar> loopback mounting also
[15:49] <DasEi> escott: sorry for delay, had to re-check, works here, natty vm with gnome3 2d, can still switch surfaces
[15:49] <Stormshadow> i mean for a dd system, one would need to mount the host partition and then mount the blob as loop. The dd blob mount is avoided when using partitions directly;
[15:50] <pythonirc101> anyone using lustre, gpfs, hdfs, gfs or any such variants on ubuntu here?
[15:51] <Stormshadow> im looking for best efficiency - whether to create "n" partitions or 1 partition with "n" dd blobs
[15:52] <BarryB> is it possible to set up my linux computer as a Access Point?
[15:52] <DasEi> Storm: extended/lvm is the most common way
[15:52] <ikonia> Stormshadow: what do you mean by "blobs"
[15:52] <DasEi> BarryB: yes
[15:52] <DasEi> !ics
[15:52] <vandemar> pythonirc101: look at mogilefs too: http://danga.com/mogilefs/
[15:53] <BarryB> i want to wireshark my android phone for a BOT?
[15:53] <Stormshadow> blob meaning a dd binary file
[15:53] <ikonia> BarryB: BOT ?
[15:53] <quotenpessimist> does somebody know a bit.ly client for the terminal?
[15:53] <BarryB> malware on my phone
[15:54] <BarryB> botnet
[15:54] <ikonia> BarryB: you think someone is running a botnet on your phone ?
[15:54] <Pici> BarryB: What does this have to do with Ubuntu?
[15:54] <BarryB> or was installed
[15:54] <BarryB> btu yes, im blacklistedf fropm an irc channel cause of it
[15:54] <zortog> Hello, I have a very silly question. I was trying to get my integrated webcam to work so I downloaded 'webcam' and 'fswebcam'. When I ran them the light next to the cam popped on but there was no gui that came up.  Can someone help me please?
[15:55] <BarryB> i wanna set up a WAP on ubuntu
[15:55] <DasEi> zortog: try cheese
[15:55] <ikonia> BarryB: we are not going to help you bypass the blocking
[15:55] <DasEi> !info cheese | zortrog
[15:55] <BarryB> i got removed from blacklist btu theres def some malware on ym phone doign stuff
[15:55] <pythonirc101> vandemar: are you using it?
[15:56] <vandemar> pythonirc101: no
[15:56] <Pici> BarryB: Then you should seek help in the android channel first.
[15:56] <ikonia> BarryB: the guys in #android can help you solve that
[15:56] <BarryB> so i want to set up Acces poitn on ubuntu, and wireshark my phones traffic?
[15:56] <Pici> BarryB: I suppose that would work.
[15:56] <pythonirc101> I wish there was someone who was using a multi-machine storage sharing system here
[15:56] <pythonirc101> I need something like that and could use some help
[15:56] <BarryB> Pici: look for unauthorized traffic
[15:57] <BarryB> anythign but TCP/UD[P and ICMP
[15:57] <Pici> pythonirc101: You might be able to find someone in #ubuntu-server perhaps.
[15:57] <ikonia> Pici: won't it be encypted ?
[15:57] <pythonirc101> Thanks Pici
[15:57] <BarryB> IM NTO SECURE
[15:57] <BarryB> oops cap lock
[15:57] <tham> quotenpessimist, Not sure, but I came across this which shortens as goo.gl links. Perhaps this can be adapted. http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/5182/google-url-shortener
[15:58] <ikonia> tham: that's useful, thank you
[15:58] <zortog> Thank you all very much!
[15:58] <tham> ikonia, you're welcome
[15:58] <DasEi> zortog: cheese, :)
[15:59] <Pici> ikonia: Over the air it'll be encrypted, but it should be somewhat unecrypted after the ap grabs it
[16:00] <ikonia> Pici: I'm not sure what happens first, eg: where the decypt happens
[16:00] <quotenpessimist> tham: thanks for the link. i will give it a try

[16:06] <fosstux> Hi! I had installed Kubuntu 11.04 some time ago and I've today switched to Gnome. 2 Questions: How can I change the Kubuntu boot screen to the ubuntu boot screen? and how can I remove kde completely?
[16:06] <fosstux> It's a permanent switsch....
[16:06] <Lofde> fosstux format and reinstall ubuntu :P
[16:06] <fosstux> is there no other way?
[16:06] <Lofde> i am sure there is hehe
[16:07] <DasEi> fosstux: install gdm instead of kdm
[16:07] <Lofde> I very much dislike unity
[16:07] <omegaphi> hi, what's the command to start mysql server on ubuntu 10?
[16:07] <fosstux> I mean the screen before the gdm
[16:07] <e-DIO-t> service mysql start
[16:07] <e-DIO-t> or however /etc/init.d/mysql start
[16:08] <maalac>  ikonia: http://pastebin.com/3Bx12RuX
[16:08] <tham> fosstux, Run the command under "Removing Kubuntu" in this page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[16:08] <tham> fosstux, that will remove kde completely and install gnome
[16:08] <Heinz_L_Maennche> fosstux, sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop

[16:15] <amit2011> my volume indicator is not there
[16:15] <Blarumyrran> Hello. What's a fast way to close all windows on a workspace?
[16:15] <amit2011> how to recover the panel??
[16:15] <vandemar> Blarumyrran: reset button
[16:15] <amit2011> volume indicator
[16:15] <tham> aguitel, Perhaps installing this may be what you need: plymouth-x11
[16:15] <vaxinated> Blarumyrram: log out
[16:16] <vandemar> logging out is slower :)
[16:16] <Blarumyrran> vandemar, vaxinated I mean workspace as in, the thing that you have 4 of in the bottom right corner
[16:17] <amit2011> my volume indicator is not there
[16:17] <Blarumyrran> amit2011, "indicator applet"
[16:17] <amit2011> any1 has any idea
[16:17] <Chotaz> I need to find my root password, how can do so?
[16:18] <IdleOne> !root
[16:18] <amit2011> Blarumyrran: thanks
[16:18] <Heinz_L_Maennche> fosstux, then u might use the solution tham suggested...that should work no matter what^^
[16:18] <newbeee> can anyone suggest me a service that provides a domain name for hosting on your home server
[16:19] <Blarumyrran> vandemar, vaxinated, so is there some good way to close all applications on ONE of those workspaces?
[16:19] <ikonia> newbeee: buy a domain name
[16:19] <compdoc> dyndns.org
[16:19] <DasEi> newbee: see compdoc ^
[16:19] <newbeee> ikonia: Maybe any free services
[16:19] <ikonia> newbeee: you can't get domains for free, you have to buy one
[16:20] <amit2011> also I cant enable desktop cube .. it breaks windows decorations in Mint 1
[16:20] <amit2011> any idea?
[16:20] <compdoc> you can get domains for free - but you cant name it whatever you want
[16:20] <ikonia> amit2011: ask the mint support channel
[16:20] <ikonia> !mint > amit2011
[16:20] <tham> Chotaz, Are you talking about your personal computer, of which the root password you've forgotten?
[16:20] <newbeee> compoc: dydns is that reliable because while registering their mail came into my spam folder in gmail with a warning
[16:21] <maalac> hi ikonia . i pastebin the error http://pastebin.com/3Bx12RuX
[16:21] <edent> udev question.  Can a udev rule run xinput commands?
[16:21] <compdoc> newbeee, very reliable
[16:21] <DasEi> newbee: it's fine
[16:21] <newbeee> Ok thanx guys Iam just doing it for learning and fun...Anyway thanx
[16:22] <pohandle> I understand that the EXT4 filesystem keeps files generally contiguous, but are directories also generally contiguous?
[16:22] <ikonia> maalac: the problem is you have conflicting packages from different repos
[16:22] <DasEi> newbee: for a basic server hostname-resolution all is served free, just higher demands they will charge  for
[16:22] <ikonia> maalac: you also have a mirror down, ubuntu-mirror.fc.hp.com is not responding
[16:22] <Chotaz> rather I need to know my MySQL root password, though it'd be the same, jsut instaleld lampp and need to create a new database
[16:22] <maalac> hmm.. ok ..i'll go change my package mirror ..
[16:23] <Alvo> hi, i installed new ubuntu 11 gnome, but some tray icons are hidden, i cannot open running skype and some other are inaccessible too? how can i get them?
[16:23] <edent> Anyone know if I can do a RUN+="/usr/bin xinput " in udev?
[16:23] <Pici> Chotaz: It should have prompted you to setup a mysql root password when you installed mysql.
[16:23] <Chotaz> I installed lampp package
[16:23] <Pici> Chotaz: From where?
[16:24] <Chotaz> apachefriends website
[16:24] <pohandle> Are directories generally contiguous using EXT4?
[16:24] <Chotaz> i tried running lampp security but it says the password's already set and wont elt em change it
[16:24] <Pici> Chotaz: Then you should consult their site for help.  We do not support XAMPP installs here, only those done via our own lamp stack.
[16:24] <Chotaz> Pici, how can I switch is up?
[16:25] <DasEi> pohandle: partitons are, for some time now, /boot is often still 2 or 3 though
[16:25] <DasEi> i*
[16:25] <vandemar> Chotaz: restart mysqld with --skip-grant-tables then reset the password then stop and restart mysqld normally
[16:25] <aguitel> how to show text during boot ,restart,shutdown process ?
[16:25] <DasEi> pohandle: and swap oc, is swap-fs
[16:25] <pohandle> DasEi: I understand that the partitions are, but I am wondering about directories
[16:26] <RA_drc> hi, i used wubi to install ubuntu on my windows machine, but ubuntu isn't showing up in my boot menu.  what's wrong?
[16:26] <vandemar> Chotaz: if it's world accessible add --skip-networking as wel so nobody can use mysql meanwhile
[16:26] <DasEi> pohandle: same as the partition is
[16:26] <pohandle> DasEi: for example files A, B, and C are in the same directory, but might not be contiguous on the drive
[16:27] <pohandle> DasEi: I see, Thank you :)
[16:27] <lee__> what's the meaning of "$?==1"
[16:27] <DasEi> pohandle: if you copy over from let's say a file from a ntfs-hd, it gets stored on ubuntu in ext4
[16:28] <aguitel> how to show only text during boot ,restart,shutdown process ?
[16:28] <Chotaz> Pici i've uninstalled lampp, how can I install from ubuntu's lamp stack?
[16:28] <DasEi> pohandle: contigous is about defragmentation
[16:28] <pohandle> DasEi: I understand now :)  I wanted to see if I could reduce the amount of seeks when accessing files
[16:29] <Pici> Chotaz: sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[16:29] <Chotaz> tasksel not found
[16:29] <Pici> Chotaz: Are you running Ubuntu?
[16:29] <Chotaz> yes
[16:29] <Chotaz> 11.04
[16:30] <Pici> Chotaz: Install tasksel first then. sudo apt-get install tasksel
[16:30] <DasEi> pohandle: you should (e2)fsck the UNmounted drive from time to time, also see man tune2fs
[16:31] <RA_drc> !wubi
[16:31] <pohandle> DasEi: I frequently 'fsck -D -f' my partition.  I will have a look a tune2fs
[16:31] <DasEi> pohandle: the latter lets you set how often a full file check is run, if you do much filing with lil' diskspace left only, might be handy
[16:31] <Chotaz> Pici, so tasksel adds a nice TUI to instalations?
[16:31] <RA_drc> hi, i used wubi to install ubuntu on my windows machine, but ubuntu isn't showing up in my boot menu.  what's wrong?
[16:32] <theadmin> Chotaz: lol, TUI. That's called CLI, dude
[16:32] <Chotaz> I just arbitrairly named it TUI lol
[16:33] <coz_> Chotaz,  I like like t hat  T-ext U-ser I-interface
[16:33] <pohandle> DasEi: I see. Thank you for your help
[16:33] <coz_> Chotaz,  I will now always use t hat :)
[16:33] <theadmin> Chotaz: But no, tasksel is just a tool to handle metapackages/"tasks"
[16:33] <DasEi> pohandle:defrag on mounted drives is on it's way for ext4, but for now not yet implemented, also there are other systems like btfrs, if you have a night to spend ;)
[16:33] <Chotaz> coz_ more like Terminal User Interface, if that even makes sense
[16:34] <coz_> Chotaz,  that too :)
[16:34] <DasEi> defrag*

[16:38] <savid> tham, found this:  /usr/share/indicator-application/ordering-override.keyfile
[16:38] <escott> mallet, verify the version of grub you have installed matches that of the documentation. sounds like a grub 1 vs grub 2 issue
[16:39] <DasEi> mallet: that's an outdated tut (hardy, grub1), why not just use the netinstaller iso ?
[16:39] <tham> savid, cool! Thanks for sharing.
[16:39] <mallet> escott: there is an entry for grub2 in the page (updated last year)
[16:39] <DasEi> !netinstall | mallet
[16:39] <DasEi> !minimal | mallet
[16:40] <mallet> DasEi: because I did not find another way with USB
[16:40] <mallet> DasEi: without USB, I mean
[16:40] <DasEi> mallet: get minimal-iso and unetbootin to bring it to usb, works from window, too
[16:40] <DasEi> windows*
[16:40] <Chotaz> Pici, it got stuck installing mysql server
[16:41] <Pici> Chotaz: Stuck how?

[16:41] <Chotaz> wont go further
[16:41] <Pici> Chotaz: What is it doing?
[16:41] <mallet> DasEi: I am under Ubuntu already (I want to reinstall 10.10 because 11.04 is too buggy). But I cannot make my USB key bootable. :(
[16:41] <Chotaz> install mysql-server5.1
[16:42] <DasEi> mallet: get minimal-iso and unetbootin to bring it to usb, if you want netinstall, or even 10.04 for :
[16:42] <DasEi> !lts
[16:42] <martian> Where did the XDMCP and other such options all go from the login CP?
[16:42] <aguitel> how to show text during boot ,restart,shutdown process ?
[16:43] <DasEi> mallet: same for regular cd, though I can't gurantee that a alpha-release does all fine

[16:43] <DasEi> aguitel: edit /etc/default/grub as root, make spash=""

[16:44] <Chotaz> Pici, gimme 2 secs

[16:44] <RU-XerYuS> Thinkpad x120e to dualboot Windows 7 Home x64 with Ubuntu 11.04 x64... any good howtos. Ive tried but grub isn't recognized (or something to that effect). I've seen successful posts stating a pae kernel but cant seem to find documentation.
[16:45] <aguitel> DasEi, change this line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[16:45] <mallet> DasEi: Just for information, 10.10 is very good, for what I do. In 11.04 on my laptop, no sound (alsa not working...), no rotation of screen (xorg known bug, which has a fix in launchpad, but ...), no output to projectors (probably xorg again), slower boot compared to 10.10, difficulties to mount USB keys, ...
[16:46] <escott> aguitel, yes
[16:46] <DasEi> aguitel: yupp to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[16:46] <DasEi> mallet: fine then
[16:46] <aguitel> DasEi, ok
[16:46] <mallet> DasEi: Thank you for the pointers, I will see what is unetbootin
[16:46] <Chotaz> Pici, now the terminal just closed when I try running again it says aptitute failed(100)
[16:46] <escott> RU-XerYuS, don't know anything about x120e but grub not being recognized and a pae kernel are completely different things. what is happening when you try to boot
[16:47] <DasEi> !info unetbootin | mallet
[16:47] <hirogen> can install ubuntu to fix a bcd error when trying to install image of windows over the network via pxe,
[16:47] <RU-XerYuS> os not found if I remember... then I bailed. Win 7 is slow & ubuntu has pointed that out. I want Ubuntu! woohoo!
[16:48] <hirogen> lol
[16:48] <DasEi> hirogen: pxe-boot of windows ? #windows rather
[16:48] <hirogen> yah
[16:49] <escott> RU-XerYuS, if grub is saying it can't find the os, I would try reinstalling grub. see !grub. see if you can get the exact error message
[16:49] <hirogen> im jsut wonering if ubuntu would fix the mbr/boot config etc
[16:49] <DasEi> hirogen: I don't have experience there, how did you set up, kickstart ?
[16:49] <RU-XerYuS> Thanks, will keep better notes and be back... thanks for response
[16:49] <prod___> Hi all, Im curious about the flexibility of shutting down my ubuntu server. I am currently considering buying a remote access card for my server. The DRAC uses a pci interface. So my question is: Is there a way to shutdown my system but not the PSU? If i am misunderstanding a DRAC then i apologise in advance.
[16:49] <hirogen> whats kickstart
[16:50] <DasEi> !info kickstart | hirogen
[16:50] <SkeGeek> I need assistance allowing my user account permissions to create/edit/delete files owned by www-data
[16:50] <itilious> if i run lsusb,,, is theformat "vendorID:DeviceID"?
[16:50] <DasEi> hirogen: it's an utility to setup network-based booting
[16:50] <escott> SkeGeek, add the user to the group shown in ls -l www-data
[16:51] <Dev-el> hey, guys...i am trying to access my ex-hard-drive, it keeps telling me that i am not permitted, so i tried running <gksu nautlius>, nothing changed.
[16:51] <itilious> as in 040a:05b6 <-- the vendor ID is 040a right?
[16:51] <DasEi> !info system-config-kickstart | hirogen
[16:51] <SkeGeek> I'm trying to find the right command to do that.
[16:51] <hirogen>  !info kickstart
[16:51] <hirogen> ok
[16:52] <escott> SkeGeek, usermod -aG groupname username
[16:52] <DasEi> hirogen: see above, but I really can't say how that handles win
[16:52] <hirogen> ok
[16:52] <SkeGeek> That won't remove the user from it's current group will it?
[16:52] <escott> SkeGeek, thats what the a is for (append)
[16:52] <SkeGeek> Ahh ok
[16:53] <theadmin> SkeGeek: Another way is "adduser USERNAME GROUP"
[16:55] <hellomai> #ubuntu
[16:55] <hellomai> hello

[16:55] <escott> !cn | hellomai
[16:56] <hirogen> any japanease channels

[16:56] <hellomai> #ubuntu-cn
[16:56] <hirogen> you think they are actaully japeanse ppl who speak english?
[16:56] <escott> hellomai, "/join #ubuntu-cn"
[16:57] <mallet> unetbootin has essentially no manpage and cannot see the files in my $HOME!
[16:58] <theadmin> mallet: It can, however don't forget it runs as root. Navigate to your home folder manually, please
[16:59] <hellomai> ok
[17:00] <theadmin> mallet: Confused me too :D
[17:00] <mallet> theadmin: luckily I am root on the computer. I ran it as root, but no change. What do you mean by "navigate [...] manually"?
[17:01] <theadmin> mallet: Well, uhm, go to, like, "root folder" -> "home" -> "your username"
[17:01] <theadmin> mallet: Cause /root is normally empty
[17:01] <theadmin> mallet: (which is the root's home folder)
[17:02] <Chotaz> When I try removed lamp-server with tasksel I get 'aptitude failed(100)' how can I work around this?
[17:03] <siddhantchd> hey guys need help with ubuntu ,,, i m getting the grub> prompt when i boot
[17:03] <siddhantchd> i had installed windows 7 which removed the grub
[17:03] <DasEi> !grub
[17:04] <siddhantchd> when i restored it using live cd it started giving me that error
[17:04] <DasEi> siddhantchd: did you chroot from live cd ?
[17:04] <siddhantchd> nope
[17:04] <siddhantchd> i followed the guide that on ubuntu foroms
[17:04] <mallet> theadmin: yes, I did that /home/... but it fails in my home!! (which is under NFS, maybe this is why....)
[17:04] <escott> siddhantchd, you likely did something wrong during that restore. try the restore again and ask questions if you have any concerns
[17:05] <siddhantchd> okie
[17:05] <escott> siddhantchd, follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[17:05] <theadmin> mallet: Oh, could as well be, try moving the file to some "normal" filesystem
[17:05] <DasEi> siddhantchd: so either follow second sentence in upper link or d/l supergrubdisk > version 1, and boot in old ubuntu, then re-install grub2
[17:08] <stimpie> My system freezes (with 1 second looping sound) about once a week, I cannot find anything in the log around the time of the crash. Any one with ideas how to troubleshoot?
[17:08] <aleph-2> gthumb doesn't seem to remember how i have my pictures sorted between each time i run it, is that a bug or a "feature"?
[17:09] <edbian> p
[17:09] <mallet> theadmin: yes, that's it. unetbootin cannot read NFS apparently...
[17:13] <bullgard4> What is the effect of pressing the F12 key in GNOME 2 Compiz?
[17:13] <Dobuntu> Does anyone have any advise for dealing with random black screen (freeze) issues?  About 1.5 to 2 weeks ago my system started randomly crashing to black screen and will accept no input.  I have to turn power off at the power supply and re-start to get past it.  It corrupts databases so it has stopped me from doing my work.
[17:13] <ikonia> bullgard4: press F12 and find out
[17:14] <bullgard4> ikonia: Your message is not helpful.
[17:14] <escott> bullgard4, i doubt it is mapped to anything as guake likes to install itself to f12
[17:14] <ikonia> bullgard4: it is, press F12 and find out what it does, it won't be anything dangerous
[17:15] <bullgard4> escott: Ok. Thank you.
[17:15] <maco> ikonia: unless bullgard is using kde
[17:15] <rly> My audio doesn't work in Flash in my browsers. Otherwise audio works fine.
[17:15] <ikonia> maco: well, as he said compiz and gnome-3-fallback, I assumed he wasn't
[17:15] <rly> Video also works OK.
[17:15] <allballs> Quick question: How would I go about installing 10.04's ghostscript package on an 8.04 box?
[17:16] <rly> allballs: you build it from source.
[17:16] <allballs> rly: no backporting options?
[17:16] <RA_drc> hi, i used wubi to install ubuntu on my windows machine, but ubuntu isn't showing up in my boot menu.  what's wrong?
[17:16] <rly> allballs: unlikely, but possible.
[17:16] <rly> allballs: building software is easy.
[17:16] <allballs> oh, i know. I can build deb's with the best of em'
[17:17] <allballs> i'll give it a go.
[17:17] <allballs> thanks.
[17:17] <Los7puppy> anyone know how to clock your ip when using irc? or is that not allowed?
[17:17] <ikonia> Los7puppy: "clock" ? your ip
[17:17] <Los7puppy> cloak*
[17:17] <rly> I also get messages like this: atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xbe on isa0060/serio0).
[17:18] <ikonia> Los7puppy: as the guys in #freenode for a cloak, read the documentation on freenode.net first though
[17:19] <Los7puppy> ty
[17:19] <semeion> Los7puppy: join in #freenode channel and ask for "host cloak"
[17:20] <notNicolas> When I download something via the software manager, how am I supposed to know where to find it?
[17:21] <henrik-_> All righty guys.. Trying to install Moblock on my server, and it says I should run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa'. However, that command is not found
[17:21] <henrik-_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[17:21] <escott> notNicolas, software center will install it for you. if it is a cli program remember the name of the program and try to use tab completion
[17:21] <henrik-_> Is it an optional package I have to install?
[17:22] <dreamchaser> do u guys know during installation of ubuntu desktop, if i choose to encrypt my home folder, is the swap encrypted too?
[17:22] <notNicolas> escott: I downloaded a set of html pages for the documentation of C++ standard library files, but I can't find them.
[17:22] <escott> notNicolas, likely in /usr/share
[17:23] <notNicolas> I don't even know what to start typing for tab completion.
[17:23] <Pici> notNicolas: dpkg -L packagename   is often helpful
[17:23] <escott> notNicolas, use the locate tool
[17:23] <K-4U> biw
[17:23] <K-4U> ik kom wel op de live distro
[17:24] <Pici> !nl | K-4U
[17:24] <K-4U> Oops.. damn, sorry xD

[17:27] <ikonia> !lamp > migoatoo
[17:28] <usr13> Guest81582: What device is it?  lsusb | pastebinit

[17:30] <mikewasoskyyyyy> i'm the one with the wireless problem
[17:30] <tensorpudding> bil21al: what do you mean by "where is it"
[17:30] <henrik-_> All righty guys.. Trying to install Moblock on my server, and it says I should run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa'. However, that command is not found -- do I have to install it manually? The guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[17:30] <mbird2011> please pm if you can help! I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs"
[17:30] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: iwconfig |pastebinit
[17:31] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: are you sure you spelled add-apt-repository correctly?
[17:31] <bil21al> tensorpudding i dnt knw where is it? i want to open libre office through it? i mean how can i open file manager in ubuntu?
[17:31] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: I copy/pasted it, so I'm pretty sure it should be correct, but will double-check
[17:31] <tensorpudding> bil21al: are you using unity?
[17:32] <bil21al> tensorpudding; yes
[17:32] <mikewasoskyyyyy> usr13: then i'll paste it here?
[17:32] <tensorpudding> bil21al: do you see the home folder in the launcher?
[17:32] <tensorpudding> bil21al: it'll be at the top
[17:32] <usr13> bil21al: You don't access applications via the file manager, you access files and directories via the file manager.
[17:33] <bil21al> thank u
[17:33] <drake01> anybody using fglrx (ati-radeon 5470) with ubuntu 11.04 dell laptop and facing increased brightness at each boot
[17:33] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[17:33] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: Double and triple checked, still nothing. Seems like I didn't get that package with Ubuntu 11.04 server?!
[17:33] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: No
[17:33] <tensorpudding> bil21al: it's just a program, it's called nautilus, try searching for it in the dash
[17:33] <SitFly> I'm trying to find a fix for my Atheros AR9285 Wireless card to be able to use my Android's wireless internet but I'm having a lot of trouble. Anyone have ideas?
[17:33] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: Well, yea, the URL Paste it here.
[17:33] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: maybe...i don't use server
[17:34] <mikewasoskyyyyy> yeah ok
[17:34] <mikewasoskyyyyy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/628059/
[17:34] <Jaded> Hi.
[17:34] <mbird2011> please pm if you can help! I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs"
[17:34] <ghoulsblade> hi all, trying to install 11.04 (natty, 64bit), but stuck at keyboard layout select, forward button disabled no matter what i select. found a bunch of people having the same problem but no solution so far, anyone know what to do ? (still seeing the dialog on my other pc)
[17:35] <metbsd> what is ubuntu server edition?
[17:35] <Jaded> what's the easiest way to remove IceWM if i want to try a different windows manager?
[17:35] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: i can't think of what package that would be though
[17:35] <tunafish> <noob here: so i have a question about the default file paths
[17:35] <drake01> @ghoulsblade: faced this problem when i burned ubuntu 11.04 using ubuntu disk creator. It did not happen when used usb creator  tool on windows..
[17:35] <oCean> !server | metbsd
[17:35] <tunafish> What is the structure to the home directory?
[17:35] <SitFly> metbsd, server edition is a distro of linux that is designed as a server over a network
[17:35] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: It looks as though there are two wireless devices.
[17:36] <tensorpudding> tunafish: structure to the home directory?
[17:36] <mikewasoskyyyyy> ok the wlan1 is the correct one
[17:36] <usr13> mikewasoskyyyyy: Do they show up in network-manager?
[17:36] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: Exactly.. I just have to do it the manual way I guess.
[17:36] <tunafish> yes
[17:36] <mikewasoskyyyyy> yes but in grey
[17:36] <tensorpudding> tunafish: i don't know what you mean?
[17:36] <tunafish> like what's the path to my downloads folder
[17:36] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: just a moment
[17:37] <tensorpudding> tunafish: ~/Downloads
[17:37] <mikewasoskyyyyy> wireless network ( zyxel... ) but not editable ( it was until before the reboot )
[17:37] <tunafish> so just use the home directory shortcut?
[17:37] <escott> tunafish, there is a file .config/user-dirs.dirs which lists them
[17:38] <tensorpudding> tunafish: well, that path isn't absolute, because it uses ~
[17:38] <FalseProphet> ok guys i have a wierd issue
[17:39] <tensorpudding> tunafish: the full path would be /home/tunafish/Downloads, assuming your user was named tunafish
[17:39] <FalseProphet> my shift keys don't work anymore
[17:39] <tunafish> thanks
[17:39] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: okay, i used dpkg -S to figure out what package had that program
[17:39] <FalseProphet> they both failed at the same time so i think its software
[17:39] <henrik-_> FalseProphet: JUST USE CAPS LOCK, MUCH EASIER TO WRITE
[17:39] <tensorpudding> henrik-_: you need to install python-software-properties
[17:39] <henrik-_> tensorpudding: That's fantastic, thanks!
[17:39] <FalseProphet> henrik-_,  THAT WORKS BUT I NEED TO GET TO THE PIOUND SIGN AND THE QUESTION MARK TOO
[17:40] <henrik-_> £ ?
[17:40] <henrik-_> Copy and paste.  Haha, seriously though, I was just kidding around with him, no biggie.
[17:42] <tunafish> Whats the path to file system?
[17:42] <oCean> FalseProphet: does  xmodmap -pke | grep -i shift  output anything?
[17:43] <FalseProphet> oCean,  how do you copy paste into cli/
[17:43] <mbird2011> Connection issue with lynksys usb. sudo lshw -C network returns "PCI sysfs"
[17:43] <tensorpudding> tunafish: that questino doesn't make sense
[17:43] <FalseProphet> i can't do the straight up and down line without shift
[17:44] <tensorpudding> tunafish: but the root of the filesystem is at /
[17:44] <tensorpudding> tunafish: all paths descend from there
[17:44] <oCean> FalseProphet: hmm..
[17:44] <tunafish> so /home/username/downloads goes to my downloads folder what is the path to folders in the file system
[17:44] <tunafish> such as lib, usr, bin, etc.
[17:44] <rrittenh1use> WHen will Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 LTS stop updating? Is it in April 2013?
[17:44] <FalseProphet> tuna /usr
[17:44] <FalseProphet> etc
[17:44] <tensorpudding> tunafish: lib, usr and bin are subdirectories of /
[17:44] <DasEi> !EOL | rrittenh1use
[17:44] <tunafish> cool
[17:45] <oCean> FalseProphet: well, you can run it without the last grep, from the | grep part, and search for occurances of shift..
[17:45] <Pici> rrittenh1use: 8.04 desktop is already EOL. The server packages will drop from support in 2013.
[17:45] <mbird2011> Can someone point me where I should go for help? Should I go to a forum?
[17:45] <rrittenh1use> Pici: so its no longer updating? the notice was a little confusing I thought.
[17:46] <DasEi> rrittenh1use: but if you use hardy, can upgrade from one lts to the next:
[17:46] <DasEi> !lts
[17:46] <Pici> rrittenh1use: Many of the packages that the desktop install uses are also in the server install, so some core things are updating.
[17:46] <FalseProphet> oCean,  got to it
[17:46] <FalseProphet> don't see shift at all
[17:46] <rrittenh1use> DasEi: Pici: thanks a lot.
[17:46] <FalseProphet> found one occurence so far
[17:46] <FalseProphet> keycode 62
[17:47] <Jaded> anyone?
[17:47] <oCean> FalseProphet: ok, so there is a keycode, it's not that it got lost
[17:49] <oCean> FalseProphet: ok, now in terminal run  xev
[17:49] <mbird2011> needing some help. 5th try. can someone tell me where I should go or just help me
[17:50] <FalseProphet> mbird2011,  ask the question
[17:50] <FalseProphet> oCean, event tester is up
[17:50] <mbird2011> I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs"
[17:51] <oCean> FalseProphet: press shift multiple times, you should see something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/628067/ (displaying the actual keycode for the shift key)
[17:52] <FalseProphet> LeaveNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x6000001,
[17:52] <FalseProphet>     root 0x10b, subw 0x0, time 277237720, (182,91), root:(859,526),
[17:52] <FalseProphet>     mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyNonlinear, same_screen YES,
[17:52] <FalseProphet>     focus YES, state 16
[17:52] <Chotaz> This might be an odd question but is it possible to have ubuntu's file explorer listing fiels and directory cas insensitive?
[17:52] <FloodBot1> FalseProphet: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:53] <Chotaz> This might be an odd question but is it possible to have ubuntu's file explorer listing files and folders case insensitive?
[17:53] <oCean> FalseProphet: there does not seem to be a keycode for the shift key :(
[17:53] <Jaded> can someone tell me what the module 'ath_hal' is?
[17:54] <syrinx_> Jaded: for the wifi
[17:54] <kleanchap> How can I run a .exe file in Ubuntu?
[17:54] <mbird2011> I am trying to connect to my wireless network using an AE1000 lynksys usb wireless adapter. I can see the adapter is loaded under lsusb, but when I type sudo lshw -C network it says "PCI sysfs" the ubuntu help file does not provide a solution for this
[17:55] <syrinx_> kleanchap: run it in Wine
[17:55] <tensorpudding> !wine | kleanchap
[17:55] <tensorpudding> kleanchap: generally speaking, it will somewhat work, but not always
[17:56] <escott> mbird2011, lshw is a bit slower to scan sysfs give it some time
[17:56] <nonelisted> Quick question for anyone that might know... looking for a way to change the UbuntuOne Control Panel login... there doesnt appear to be a option to do so, and I cant seem to locate the config file its drawing its information from...
[17:56] <Raugturi> Chotaz: Do you mean Nautilus?
[17:57] <mbird2011> escott: it stays for 10-15 seconds and then the sysfs disappears to show the admin@birdfamily-ET1331g:~$ where I can type in commands. It doesn't return the information the help file suggests it should
[17:58] <escott> mbird2011, it may be missing a driver
[17:58] <mbird2011> escott: I used the windows wireless driver under system settings. What route should I take
[18:00] <escott> mbird2011, im not too familiar with that method of getting drivers
[18:00] <mbird2011> escott: I just loaded the inf file in there. How do you load drivers? This doesn't appear to be working I'm open
[18:01] <Los7puppy_> anyone know a good channel or play to find help with learning python?

[18:01] <FalseProphet> putty for the school
[18:02] <syrinx_> FalseProphet beat me to it
[18:02] <Anon904> so what exactly would be my steps to going about this? do i need to set up a server on my linux box?
[18:02] <tensorpudding> Anon904: what is your home networking configuration?
[18:02] <dr_willis> !ssh | Anon904
[18:02] <Anon904> tensorpudding: meaning?
[18:02] <mbird2011> syrinx: escott: I'll redo it with ndiswrapper and hopefully that works thanks everyone
[18:02] <tensorpudding> Anon904: do you have some kind of NAT router? publically-routable IP address?
[18:02] <Anon904> no etho connections, full wireless
[18:02] <Lasers> Oh god.
[18:02] <Anon904> uhm, ive got the gateway that the ISP sent me
[18:02] <dr_willis> Anon904,  how is it connected to the internet...
[18:03] <dr_willis> a router?
[18:03] <Anon904> yeah
[18:03] <[snake]> basically I want to use my wii remote as a keyboard. although not for typing, but so that I can play a game.
[18:03] <tensorpudding> Anon904: well, your router is probably doing NAT, so you'll have to configure some sort of port-forwarding
[18:03] <syrinx_> [snake]: im sure it's possible...never done it myself
[18:04] <syrinx_> Anon904: you'd also need the IP that the ISP assigns to you, which may change periodically
[18:04] <Anon904> snake: I'd think you would have to get some sort of wii to USB converter box, and an emulator, or write the code yourself to where your box would understand it.
[18:04] <tensorpudding> Anon904: but more pressingly, you'll need to use some service like DynDNS to get a public domainname for your router
[18:04] <Anon904> nope, ive had my router ip, for about 7 years now.
[18:04] <syrinx_> ah
[18:04] <Anon904> since its "not a business line, we cannot give you a dynamic ip"
[18:04] <dr_willis> dyndns still makes things easier in ways
[18:04] <syrinx_> no-ip is nice, too
[18:04] <tensorpudding> Anon904: you can use the IP address instead, if it is static
[18:05] <Anon904> yeah its static, never changes
[18:05] <Anon904> (always get the 2 mixed up)
[18:05] <dr_willis> normally its the reverse of that Anon904 .... home users get dynamic
[18:05] <tensorpudding> Anon904: actually, static ip's almost always cost more
[18:05] <littlebearz> depends on isp
[18:06] <Anon904> I <3 my att/bellsouth/pos ISP
[18:06] <littlebearz> mines 1 year per change

[18:06] <nonelisted> Quick question for anyone that might know... looking for a way to change the UbuntuOne Control Panel login... there doesnt appear to be a option to do so, and I cant seem to locate the config file its drawing its information from...
[18:06] <tensorpudding> Anon904: well anyway, you need to configure your router for port forwarding
[18:06] <tensorpudding> Anon904: which ports depend on which services you want to enable
[18:06] <Anon904> keep in mind
[18:07] <candt> how do I get to use #ubuntuone channel? does it exist please?
[18:07] <Anon904> the end i will be using is a etho booted winxp at my school
[18:07] <Anon904> under the most heavy firewall I have ever witnessed
[18:07] <Pici> candt: type: /join #ubuntuone
[18:07] <dr_willis> Anon904,  so what you want to do remotely on the linxu box then?
[18:07] <tensorpudding> Anon904: oh, well, if there's a firewall in your network..
[18:07] <Anon904> I WANT TO GET ON FACEBOOK D:
[18:07] <tensorpudding> Anon904: it might completely break the TOS of your school to subvert it
[18:08] <candt>  @ Pici thanks
[18:08] <dr_willis> such good reasons.. .....
[18:08] <tensorpudding> Anon904: you can use your home computer for proxying but subverting the firewall might well get you in trouble
[18:08] <dlyneswork> On Ubuntu 9.04, I was able to specify options for the startup of the tftpd-hpa server in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, now with Ubuntu 10.04, it still uses /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, but it has completely different environment variables, and it uses upstart, so I have no idea what script to look into to find out what environment variable to throw my custom parameters into
[18:08] <Anon904> I dont care, I pay out the ass for this school, if they get pissy, ill tell them to reset defaults.  I have direct access to the wireless router we use in my classroom, and i have full privlidges on it, but the wifi router, is connected to the schools server room.
[18:08] <dlyneswork> Anyone have any idea where I might start looking to throw those additional parameters into?
[18:09] <Anon904> schools server room has facebook set as "not existing"
[18:09] <tensorpudding> Anon904: and even if they haven't blocked SSH traffic, their network people will be able to tell that you're running an encrypted tunnel
[18:09] <Anon904> so, im trying to instead of going through, by port mapping, etc, just figure it would be easier to RDP into my linux box. and facebook from there.
[18:09] <Sean-Der> Is it possible to keep persistant changes in some sort of flat database? I am booting an ISO using Hirens Boot CD (GRUB)
[18:10] <tensorpudding> Anon904: it sounds like what you want is a proxy, either SOCKS/SSH, or HTTP, depending on how much you want to proxy
[18:10] <Anon904> ive done RDP sucessfully on the other machines in my classroom, and I can also use teamviewer.
[18:10] <dr_willis> why not just use teamviewer then?
[18:10] <tensorpudding> Anon904: for the former, you can just setup dynamic port forwarding via SSH
[18:10] <Anon904> ive accessed my computer while it was at home by setting up teamviewer, and using my external HDD to hook up to the school workstation and use teamviewer on that end, but its too slow
[18:10] <tensorpudding> Anon904: for the latter, there's things like squid
[18:11] <tensorpudding> Anon904: both of these things could be very slow
[18:11] <Anon904> I think thats what i want to end up doing, setting up my own server on my linux box, so that i can just log into it, so that the speed isnt affected as much
[18:11] <tensorpudding> Anon904: it depends on how fast your internet connections are
[18:11] <Anon904> only thing i need it for is facebook, other than that, I can use the schools network.
[18:11] <dlyneswork> Anon904, why not just use your cellphone, and be done with it?
[18:11] <oCean> Sean-Der: what changes?
[18:12] <dlyneswork> Anon904, any decent cellphone has facebook on it, anyways
[18:12] <dr_willis> dlyneswork,  :) thats what i use these days
[18:12] <Anon904> cause, I don't have a phone provider on my droid anymore(couldn't pay the bill) so now its jus a paperweight, so tethering and facebooking from phone, not possible
[18:13] <Anon904> and now im using my moms flip phone, that gets EDGE in class... I can barely recieve text messages.....
[18:14] <dlyneswork> must be expensive as hell on EDGE
[18:14] <dr_willis> time to read up on ssh then it seems
[18:14] <eoss> hello i am trying to transfer file to tftp server but i am getting timeout
[18:14] <Lasers> Anon904: Divert your attentions to school.
[18:14] <tensorpudding> Anon904: i assume that your windows machine allows you to run arbitrary programs?
[18:14] <dgags> Lasers: here here...
[18:14] <Anon904> arbitrary? explain that one
[18:14] <dlyneswork> tensorpudding, it must, or he wouldn't be on IRC
[18:15] <RA_drc> hi, i want to put ubuntu on my desktop computer.  if i burn an iso to a cd, will ubuntu boot from that cd?  can that cd partition my h ard drive?
[18:15] <Anon904> noooo, im at home right now, i go to school at 4pm est
[18:15] <tensorpudding> Anon904: as in, if you were to download PuTTY, it would not prevent you from running it
[18:15] <dgags> eoss: does the tftpd process have permission to write to the directory it is set up on?
[18:15] <Anon904> RA_drc: yes it can :)
[18:15] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  thats normally how it works. yes.
[18:15] <Anon904> does it require admin privlages tensor?
[18:15] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  make backups of imporntant stuff first
[18:15] <Lasers> RA_drc: Yes. Yes. :)
[18:16] <tensorpudding> Anon904: no
[18:16] <tensorpudding> Anon904: not necessarily
[18:16] <Anon904> I have downloaded and installed google chrome to their computers, so yes i can dl and install most things.
[18:16] <eoss> well dgags before that when i try to start the service of tftp it says Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type = "method call", ...blah...error name="(unset)" requested reply = 0 destination ="com.ubuntu.upastart
[18:16] <Anon904> but when i restart the comp, its all gone cause the comp at school doesnt even have a hdd or a cd drive.. its etho booted
[18:16] <dlyneswork> Does anyone happen to know where the real scripts live for something that's been converted to an upstart process?
[18:16] <eoss> im on 11.04 and i tried service xinetd start and thats the error msg..condesned
[18:17] <dgags> eoss: whoa… what the hell is all that?
[18:17] <dlyneswork> Anon904, cool...everything's running on a ram drive, then
[18:17] <alienmindtrick> How do i fix this, please:  i keep getting this error when i run Update Manager:  W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[18:17] <alienmindtrick>  , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[18:17] <RA_drc> Anon904: dr_willis: Lasers: i tried partitioning my computer and using wubi, and now all i get when i boot my computer is "j".  can ubuntu recover from that?
[18:17] <dgags> eoss: ahh… hmm.
[18:17] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  a live cd. can repartiton/reformat the hd.
[18:17] <Lasers> RA_drc: Wubi is terrible. Stay away from it.
[18:17] <Anon904> RA_drc: ACK wubi </3
[18:17] <Ampelbein> alienmindtrick: remove the defunct gnome3 ppa from your software sources
[18:17] <dlyneswork> alienmindtrick, that file's not there anymore...nothing you can do to fix it
[18:17] <tensorpudding> Anon904: well, you'll need to set up OpenSSH server on your home machine, and port-forward port 22 on your router to that computer, then install PuTTY on the windows machine, and create a profile to connect to your home machine with dynamic port forwarding, then configure chrome or firefox with a socks proxy
[18:18] <Lasers> RA_drc: Use LiveCD -- Wubi installs Ubuntu like a program. You want to use LiveCD.
[18:18] <dr_willis> RA_drc,  you sure its not an 'L' as in LILO ?
[18:18] <cxq> hello
[18:18] <dlyneswork> alienmindtrick, or what Ampelbein said
[18:18] <dgags> eoss: i suggest google… It's what I am about to do.
[18:18] <alienmindtrick> Ampelbein:  earlier escott said not to remove that PPA...so yes remove it, or no?
[18:18] <Anon904> yeah, cause if i try to even open the IE settings says blocked by admin
[18:18] <k_sze> Does anybody know how to get SLIP working in Ubuntu? SLIP is all new to me. I need to establish connection with a Windows CE handheld device (which apparently supports SLIP), without the overhead of installing SynCE.
[18:18] <eoss> ok
[18:19] <escott> alienmindtrick, removing gnome3 ppa has lead to many broken systems
[18:19] <Anon904> I cant even access the C: drive(even though its a fake one) inless i do some backdoor stuff. cant even go into CMD without having to do backdoor stuff.
[18:19] <dlyneswork> Anon904, I think the network admin folks are trying to send you a message
[18:19] <dlyneswork> Anon904, don't screw with them :o
[18:19] <Ampelbein> alienmindtrick: that ppa doesn't exist anymore, so why would you want to keep it in your config?
[18:19] <alienmindtrick> escott:  OK, so should I just ignore the error message?
[18:19] <shinobilord> Natty/11.04 has got lots of bugs (apparently due to unity). What gives Ubuntu?
[18:19] <tensorpudding> Anon904: this might not necessarily work though, if your admins prevented you from binding certain ports
[18:20] <Anon904> haha, my into to networking teacher, has a script added to his router, so that if anyone tries to log in more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, it will send a script that will fry their processor and ram chips D:
[18:20] <alienmindtrick> Ampelbein:  I'm just trying to find consensus for a remedy. One says remove, the other says keep.
[18:20] <Anon904> intro*
[18:20] <dgags> eoss: you're trying to setup a tftp daemon to receive files, from a switch, or some such right?
[18:20] <eoss> dgags: yes, i have cisco routers i need tftp to transfer file to
[18:20] <Ampelbein> alienmindtrick: the ppa isn't there anymore so removing it from the sources can't possibly do ANY harm.
[18:21] <Anon904> what the heck? I cant access my router from this computer...<IP_ADDRESS> doesnt do anything....
[18:21] <alienmindtrick> Ampelbein:  makes sense to me. anyone else?  peer review?
[18:21] <dgags> eoss
[18:21] <tensorpudding> Anon904: what?
[18:21] <eoss> dgags
[18:22] <Anon904> trying to access my router page, wont let me, saying too long for the connection...
[18:22] <dgags> eoss: so, I'd start with this: http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/sitara_arm174_microprocessors/f/416/t/112168.aspx
[18:22] <Anon904> just did an ifconfig, and im getting this.
[18:22] <dgags> eoss: although my guess is you already have.
[18:22] <Anon904>  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:22:fb:7c:4c:38
[18:22] <Anon904>           inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[18:23] <Jordan_U> Anon904: Can you pastebin the output of "route -n"?
[18:23] <Anon904> so i tried <IP_ADDRESS> and nothing..
[18:23] <RA_drc> Anon904: dr_willis: Lasers: i am certain is is J, not L.  all it shows is a lowercase j.  do i want 11.04 and 32-bit?
[18:23] <dgags> eoss: how are you trying to start tftp?
[18:23] <eoss> dgags: yea i set my conf file up correctly, just dunno why it wont start up
[18:23] <Anon904> ahhhh, its <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:23] <alienmindtrick> Hey, here's an IRC question: Why does it say "Unknown MODE flag" when I log in?
[18:23] <Lasers> RA_drc: You have two choices.
[18:24] <Anon904> RA_drc: how much ram you got on ur system? 2gb minimum for 64bit
[18:24] <Lasers> RA_drc: You want 10.04 LTS (Long term support) -- or you want 11.04 (Regular; every 6 months).
[18:24] <eoss> dgags first i tried sudo /etc/xinetd/start, gave me issue and told me to do this service xinetd start
[18:24] <eoss> thats when i got a nasty error
[18:24] <Lasers> RA_drc: If you're new and aren't tech savy, using 32bit will be better.
[18:24] <shinobilord> Lasers: is 11.04 really that great. Looks buggy to me
[18:25] <dgags> eoss: what issue? the original one you pasted above?
[18:25] <Lasers> shinobilord: I don't use Ubuntu personally. However, I like the dock on the left.  Accessing folders/applications is meh-meh.
[18:25] <eoss> dgags: yea Rejected send message error
[18:25] <Lasers> shinobilord: Using icon/symbol is far effective than seeing text/names on panels, IMO.
[18:26] <eoss> ok dgags apparently that nasty error comes from not putting sudo in front of it, i got it to start up
[18:26] <eoss> still cant connect to it though
[18:26] <eoss> checking firewall settings now..
[18:27] <zaksoldier> Hi al
[18:27] <zaksoldier> All
[18:27] <dgags> eoss: ahh, ok, just make sure your /tftpboot (or whatever you have in the xinetd config) is 777 so evryone can read/write
[18:27] <RA_drc> Anon904: dr_willis: Lasers: i have a p4, so i think i should do 32-bit.  i'm still not sure what the difference between 10.04 and 11.04 is, though
[18:27] <lapaga> I have a limited ram system.  When I close any program it does not release all the ram.  Any way to do it manually?
[18:28] <dgags> lapaga: pull the power cord
[18:28] <dgags> that's about as manual as it gets.
[18:28] <Lasers> RA_drc: Versions. 10.04 is old (but very stable).  11.04 is new -- And you are likely to experience more bugs on 11.04.
[18:28] <lapaga> dgags, very helpful thanks
[18:29] <Lasers> RA_drc: However -- If you really want stable machine, try debian.  What is different between Firefox 3 and Firefox 4?  Not much.  Firefox 4 is still relatively new -- and still have more bugs than Firefox 3.
[18:29] <shinobilord> Lasers: I'd agree. I was referring to the fact that the desktop is really glitchy. Not at all stable. So why recommend it
[18:30] <Lasers> shinobilord: Time-based releases. It have to come out.
[18:30] <DasEi> RA_drc: and 10.04 is lts and comes with gnome, whilst natty comes with unity default
[18:30] <DasEi> !lts
[18:30] <shinobilord> Lasers: sure. Until then even 10.10 is more stable
[18:31] <BrianMBI> Having issues with Laptop shutting down.....but all of my desktops restart and turn off normally
[18:31] <Jordan_U> lapaga: I think you may be mistaking caching for "not releasing all the ram". http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[18:31] <metadan> Hi can anyone give me a quick hand, I'm trying to get ubuntu installed to dual boot with win7
[18:31] <Lasers> shinobilord: Why staying on 10.10 when you can stay on 10.04 LTS.
[18:31] <metadan> I've got a problem setting up the partitions etc
[18:31] <BrianMBI> Metadan: Wubi.exe
[18:32] <Lasers> shinobilord: You can upgrade from 10.04 LTS (to the next LTS version).  If you went on 10.10 -- You'll have to go to 11.04 -- then the next version -- then the next version.
[18:32] <ghoulsblade> hi all, fresh natty install here, logging in normally, then relogging in using "ubuntu classic" desktop, then relogging using normal me with a blank desktop. anyone know what .dotdir in home to kill to reset it ?
[18:32] <wildbat> metadan: what kinda of problem?
[18:32] <vandemar> Lasers: more bugs?  ff major bugs are mostly due to plugins, and ff4 has some major security improvements
[18:32] <metadan> BrianMBI: I understood wubi doesn't do real dual boot
[18:32] <eoss> dgags although i still got a connection timeout when trying to put a file in there =/ ..opened the ports wide  up
[18:32] <metadan> The problem i've got is that i have one harddrive
[18:32] <metadan> 4 partitions
[18:32] <metadan> one partition is unallocated when i look in disk manager in win7
[18:32] <metadan> but
[18:32] <BrianMBI> you can set partitions by booting from .iso that way
[18:33] <dr_willis> metadan,  if its 4 primaries. then you got some work to do.
[18:33] <metadan> awesome..
[18:33] <metadan> ok
[18:33] <BrianMBI> set your swap and /
[18:33] <metadan> when i boot into the installer
[18:33] <dr_willis> You basically need to make an extended partitioon metadan  with logicals in it for ubuntu to install to
[18:33] <metadan> there is no free space
[18:33] <metadan> ok
[18:33] <dr_willis> metadan,  and i have seen win7 setups that do use 4 primary partitions.. for some sick reason
[18:34] <Lasers> vandemar: Maybe. I wouldn't know about that. The problem is that progress does not always mean it's better. People assume it is. Anyway, I think I have wandering into offtopic here. I'll stop. :)
[18:34] <metadan> so in win7 disk manager, take the unallocated space and set it to be an extended partition
[18:34] <metadan> ?
[18:34] <metadan> any specfics i need to take into account?
[18:34] <zaksoldier> ¿
[18:34] <kingofswords> hi what ed2k client do i use for ubuntu?
[18:34] <dr_willis> You can try. - but it seems odd the installer is not seeing it allready MetaBot
[18:34] <dr_willis> !p2p | kingkong
[18:34] <dr_willis> !p2p | kingofswords
[18:34] <kingofswords> u use to use emule in windows
[18:35] <shinobilord> Lasers: from that perspective I'd agree.but why not wait for the next major release before upgrading to 11.04 and then 11.10 (which would hopefully be better than 11.04)?
[18:35] <kingofswords> dr_willis, thx
[18:35] <zaksoldier> ¿
[18:35] <metadan> ok i'll be back in a few if i have issues. rebooting back to win7 :/
[18:35] <wildbat> metadon, you can do it in gparted in the ubuntu LiveCD
[18:35] <metadan> ah cool
[18:36] <dr_willis> metadan,  its a good idea to have anything imporntant backed up first..
[18:36] <eoss> grep dgags
