[00:00] <virtus> abstrakt: There's no ogre package at all =/
[00:00] <CJack> i really need help
[00:00] <abstrakt> virtus, but still, if there's not a package for your distro, you're supposed to compile from source, if you're compiling from source, you're supposed to just build a package and then use dpkg to install it
[00:00] <Craig`> h-dee: no that's the wrong one..totally.
[00:00] <abstrakt> virtus, i.e. just build a .deb, and or all the .deb files that you might need
[00:00] <virtus> I'm using Ubuntu. And, there's no ogre package *atall*
[00:00] <abstrakt> virtus, hence why you should make one
[00:00] <h-dee> Craig: sorry, i missed on that one... let me see
[00:00] <virtus> abstrakt: Ahh.
[00:01] <abstrakt> virtus, anyway you can start just by compiling from source
[00:01] <botcity> !panel | Craig`
[00:01] <Craig`> ..crickets chirp
[00:02] <Lucase> CJack: What's up ?
[00:02] <splnet> abstrakt: what is libogre?
[00:02] <abstrakt> splnet, 3D graphics framework for OpenGL
[00:02] <virtus> abstrakt: Odd. There's a libogre in synaptic. But, it doesn't instll well.
[00:02] <h-dee> Craig: please try this...hit Alt + F2 and type 'nm-applet', and see if it shows up or not?
[00:02] <mehdidc> hi everybody
[00:02] <Lucase> Just received a 50'' touch screen. gonna test it with ubuntu, giving news.
[00:03] <abstrakt> virtus, libogre != libogre-dev
[00:03] <Craig`> h-dee: there is an app named nm-applet..but it doesnt appear
 when i turn on my pc i cant get to my desktop any more, Ubuntu 10.10 loads up , and im stuck, its like terminal, black screen, and i can only use commands, i had to login too. i would like to get on desktop again please :)
[00:03] <h-dee> Craig: so that didn't work out I guess?
[00:04] <virtus> abstrakt: I have libogre-dev.
[00:04] <virtus> Say's it's installed.
[00:04] <virtus> But, for some reason I can't locate the libogre files.
[00:04] <binarysim> CJack, Try startx
[00:04] <abstrakt> virtus, using what
[00:04] <binarysim> do yo got some error messages
[00:04] <Craig`> h-dee: nope
[00:05] <abstrakt> virtus, in syntaptic, you should be able to right click on the package and then inspect the files it installs
[00:05] <virtus> abstrakt: using locate
[00:05] <Auriel> My computer is stuck on Grub Rescue. Can somebody help me? RIght now I'm booting off the Ubuntu live CD
[00:05] <Lucase> Cjack: You see anything about ''GRUB'' in that terminal ?
[00:05] <abstrakt> virtus, did you run sudo updatedb after installing ogre?
[00:05] <botcity> !panels | Craig`
[00:05] <virtus> abstrakt: No. do you *need* to?
 fatal server error : no screens found
[00:05] <splnet> virtus: try dpkg -L libogre
[00:06] <h-dee> Craig: did you try adding the "Notification Applet" btw?
[00:06] <danst_> CJack: after nvidia driver installation?
[00:06] <Clockwerks77> Hey folks, can anyone recommend a decent video editor for Ubuntu?
 yes, i had to reboot
[00:06] <Clockwerks77> #ubuntu-ca
[00:06] <gpc> Clockwerks77: pitivi
[00:06] <Craig`> yes thank you! that worked
 failed to load nvidia kernel module
[00:06] <Clockwerks77> GPC Pitivi, the one that comes iwth the system?
[00:06] <Clockwerks77> is it robust?
[00:07] <virtus> Okay. I've got the ogre stuff. But, the game's looking for an ogre library that's not included
[00:07] <virtus> libOgreMain.so.1
[00:07] <gpc> Clockwerks77: not sure how robust it is.
[00:07] <Lucase> CJack: you are gonna type this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:07] <gpc> Clockwerks77: you could also try openshot
[00:07] <andrewax> virtus: file can be in another location. try create a symbolic link
[00:07] <Clockwerks77> Ok. Thanks GPC.
[00:07] <virtus> andrewax: I'm meaning libOgreMain.so.1 doesn't exist.
[00:07] <virtus> libOgreMain.so does.
[00:08] <Auriel> My computer is stuck on Grub Rescue. Can somebody help me? RIght now I'm booting off the Ubuntu live CD
[00:08] <andrewax> virtus: case is right?
[00:08] <andrewax> linux is case sensitive
[00:08] <virtus> andrewax: case is right.
[00:09] <danst_> CJack: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf -w
[00:09] <question0> hi
[00:09] <danst_> CJack: change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv"
[00:09] <danst_> CJack: Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[00:09] <Loshki> virtus: try planting a symbolic link in /usr/lib from libOgreMail.so to libOgreMain.so.1
[00:09] <danst_> CJack: after that you should install another driver
[00:10] <h-dee> Auriel: See if this helps http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[00:10] <danst_> CJack: at least you'd get graphics
[00:10] <question0> i noticed that iotop need "CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT in kernel"  and running on 2.6.32-27-server it is not the case ... does someone know what for ?
[00:10] <virtus> Loshki: I might have an 'later' version of Ogre than I need.
[00:10] <virtus> So
[00:10] <Lucase> danst_: thanks. i thought it was something else.
[00:11] <danst_> Lucase: well, installed from repos driver does not support his old video adapter
[00:11] <virtus> ln -s fileiwanttosymbolic /usr/lib
[00:11] <danst_> Lucase: in such cases I usually install build-essential and download old stuff from nvidia site
[00:12] <Lucase> danst_: yeah that's a good idea.
[00:13] <binarysim>  /clear
[00:13] <Gaming4JC> *cough* anyone know how to get a debug flag turned on in open-jdk6 *cough* @_@
[00:13] <Gaming4JC> ?.. :)
[00:13] <andrewax> :)
[00:14] <Auriel> h-dee: this happened after I ran Ubuntu update last night
[00:15] <h-dee> Auriel: yeah no matter what the reason is...your GRUB2 is corrupted. So, you need to fix it. read point no.2 from that link or better read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
[00:15] <Auriel> Thanks

[00:23] <tucemiux> anyone knows how to manually check an entire hard drive for errors ?
[00:23] <CJack> danst_ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart this command not found
[00:23] <danst_> Tashia: sorry, I don't clearly understand the target you're aiming :(
[00:23] <danst_> CJack: oh

[00:25] <danst_> CJack: wait I'll login to remote ubuntu box to check how to restart gdm
[00:25] <danst_> Tashia: I suppose you can use NFS
[00:26] <danst_> Tashia: install to your server nfs-kernel-server
[00:26] <devin> installed ubuntu 10.10 and now desktop is not mapped correctly, first time this issue has ever happened to me. Not a resolution problem.
[00:26] <danst_> Tashia: prepare home directory for your user, and mention it in /etc/exports
[00:27] <smeca> hi, i'm having problems accessing/playing videos on my mobile when it's plugged in
[00:27] <smeca> *from mobile
[00:28] <danst_> 03:23:07 < CJack> danst_ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart this command not found < are you sure you didn't make any mistakes while typing that
[00:28] <danst_> CJack: if you're running ubuntu with gnome, I suppose there should be gdm
[00:28] <misreckoning> hello... I'm trying to "turn on" my laptop's subwoofer, and had no luck... any ideas how to make it?
[00:28] <virtus> nm-applet can't find the picmap image.
[00:28] <danst_> CJack: well actually you can just reboot lol
[00:28] <virtus> And then removes itself from the notification area.
[00:29] <virtus> How do I fix this?
[00:30] <a_p3rson> can someone help me with samba networking to windows?
[00:30] <CJack> danst_ command not found.
[00:30] <danst_> Tashia: I recomment to put into brackets stuff like I have here /home/wificrusher         192.168.74.*(rw,no_root_squash,async)
[00:30] <danst_> Tashia: when editing exports

[00:31] <danst_> CJack: shift+reset lol
[00:32] <CJack> danst_ i got my screen back, its looks crazy, so now i need older drivers? maybe you know where i could get them?
[00:32] <devin> anyone can help with screen error, desktop has left part cut off and put on right edge, and the mouse is mapped centimeter above area I want to click
[00:32] <mas> whats meaning indirect rendering and loose binding in compiz?
[00:32] <danst_> Tashia: I remember having troubles with permissions, so somehow these options saved me and I'm running a few machines with nfs root booting from network
[00:34] <joDizzle> irc://irc.cosmic-cow.net/mooxdcc
[00:34] <danst_> CJack: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk
[00:35] <Tashia> danst_ Is it possible for ubuntu-server to run wirelessly?
[00:36] <danst_> oh my god
[00:36] <danst_> but how
[00:36] <danst_> wireless power?
[00:36] <Tashia> no, Wireless network
[00:36] <danst_> host a wireless network?
[00:36] <danst_> or use an existing
[00:36] <Venemo> hi guys
[00:37] <aeon-ltd> hi
[00:37] <smeca> samsung connection issues anyone?
[00:37] <Venemo> does Ubuntu support GDM themes?
[00:37] <Tashia> danst_ I mean for the server to be able to connect to the wireless network
[00:38] <danst_> Tashia: then you should have a wireless adapter there!
[00:38] <theLE> does anyone have any experience using an iPod/iPhone with Banshee that I could ask some questions to
[00:38] <splnet> Tashia: sure it works fine
[00:39] <danst_> Tashia: you need wireless-tools package
[00:39] <danst_> Tashia: and optionally wpa supplicant if your wireless network is wpa encrypted
[00:40] <FloatingGoat> I have a question about this. okay. I installed 10.04 and Nvidea drivers where working and stuff and they showed up in the additional drivers app. but now that im in 10.10 nothing is there. it's really unmanageable without the drivers is there any way to get them?
[00:40] <theLE> does anyone know if ratings are preserved during syncing from an iPhone to Banshee and back? So for instance if I rate a song on my iPhone and sync it with Banshee, does that rating show up correctly? Will the song be rated in my library?
[00:41] <revdb> maybe u can try 10.10 to see if they hav new drivers
[00:41] <Tashia> danst_ What would the wpa package name be?
[00:41] <danst_> Tashia: wpa-supplicant or wpasupplicant or wpa_supplicant, don't remember exactpy
[00:41] <FloatingGoat> I am in 10.10
[00:41] <danst_> exactly*
[00:41] <FloatingGoat> the drivers where there in 10.04 now they are not
[00:41] <danst_> Tashia: do "apt-cache search wpa supplicant" it will show you
[00:41] <revdb> thats strange
[00:42] <KeyLimePi> Hey there.  Anyone here use a webcam on your Ubuntu 64-bit  system?
[00:42] <revdb> did you use the original drivers that came with 10.04 or closed source ones?
[00:43] <FloatingGoat> proprietary it said
[00:44] <revdb> oh
[00:44] <tucemiux> anyone knows how to upgrade karmic using the command line?
[00:44] <revdb> then you might have to reinstall the drivers
[00:45] <revdb> since those drivers arent the ubuntu drivers
[00:46] <KeyLimePi> Anyone finding flash player 10 to be slightly buggy on 10.04 (64-bit)?
[00:46] <xangua> !upgrade | tucemiux
[00:46] <Venemo> are the instructions on this page still valid? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gdm-gnome-display-manager-theme-in-ubuntu.html
[00:47] <revdb> perhaps all of you that aren't using 10.10 should upgrade to see if they fixed some issues with driver support
[00:47] <xangua> KeyLimePi: try thee 64 bit plugin via this PPA https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash
[00:47] <tucemiux> !upgrade
[00:48] <KeyLimePi> xangua: I tried upgrading to that and the problem still persisted
[00:48] <Goliath> hey
[00:48] <Goliath> i exracted a 7z archive withe right click extract here option. Can i be sure it was extracted without errors?
[00:50] <revdb> do u have the newest version of flash? refer to the adobe website to check
[00:51] <KeyLimePi> revdb: Yes. I  do
[00:52] <KeyLimePi> revdb: Honestly, it doesnt completely malfunction.  Its only when Im trying to use my webcam in a flash based chatroom. Everything shows up pixely whereas other non-flash webcam  tools show things crystal clear  (such as Google Talk's in-browser webcam chat)
[00:52] <tucemiux> anyone knows how to upgrade just one application using the command line??
[00:52] <danst_> tucemiux: sudo apt-get install name
[00:52] <revdb> hmm... sorry i have no idea of what it could be
[00:53] <danst_> tucemiux: if it's already installed it will upgrade it if there's a newer version in your sources
[00:53] <KeyLimePi> revdb: Well, I figure it is something with Flash but I dont know what.  I have tried 10.3 d162 and 10.1 r53 with no success.
[00:53] <tucemiux> danst_,  im trying to upgrade unison on my ubuntu server but no dice, the version on my laptop is newer than the version on my LTS ubuntu server
[00:54] <linmedia> Can anyone tell me how to get synergy to start at the login screen, not after someone logs in??
[00:54] <linmedia> Or point me towards a How-To?
[00:55] <danst_> tucemiux: well, get the repos from your laptop into your server's sources.list, update them, try installing package
[00:55] <danst_> tucemiux: I always do that
[00:56] <danst_> tucemiux: but don't forget to remove repos after that and update again
[00:56] <danst_> tucemiux: and read carefully the output of apt stuff, care about your dependency tree
[00:58] <tucemiux> danst_, ill just reinstall from CD then o_O
[00:58] <danst_> omg
[00:58] <KeyLimePi> Anyone know how to install from this site (i see no download link for the deb file)? https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash?field.series_filter=
[00:58] <theLE> does anyone know if ratings are preserved during syncing from an iPhone to Banshee and back? So for instance if I rate a song on my iPhone and sync it with Banshee, does that rating show up correctly? Will the song be rated in my library?
[00:58] <danst_> tucemiux: just read what apt says lol
[00:59] <danst_> theLE: maybe there's some kind of database in your iphone
[01:00] <danst_> theLE: try backuping it, then try syncing
[01:00] <Juan_Jo> Hola
[01:00] <Juan_Jo> helo
[01:01] <theLE> danst_: well the reason I ask is because I'm seriously considering moving away from Windows but this is the last thing that I need Windows for. If I can get this to work then I'm jumping ship. I was hoping to hear from someone who has actually tried this.
[01:01] <danst_> theLE: I remember only using gtkPod a couple of years ago with my nano 4g
[01:01] <cablop> i have a weird issue... i changed the hard disk of my netbook for a bigger one, the new is working nicely, feels faster, but... it has a sound... like a whip from time to time... not too frequent... but i onder if this is a damage or something... how can i check it on linux? SMART says it is ok... dunno what else to do
[01:02] <theLE> danst_: do you remember if it was successful in syncing ratings back and forth?
[01:02] <danst_> oh
[01:02] <danst_> theLE: actually not lol
[01:02] <Guest25017> anyone have any clues on how to run a script on the event of network (wifi) gets a connection?
[01:03] <itaylor57> theLE: i have never been able to sync back or forth
[01:03] <danst_> theLE: I remember putting ipodlinux on ipod and watching movies in horrible quality on a tiny display of my ipod nano
[01:03] <danst_> good times
[01:03] <theLE> itaylor57: OK, so how do you use it then? Just manage all of your music on the PC and use the device as purely a listening device?
[01:03] <theLE> danst_: sounds like more effort than it was worth
[01:03] <itaylor57> theLE: i don't
[01:04] <jrib> Guest25017: yes read networkmanager documentation.  Here is an example, setting up a firewall when an interface comes up: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20Startup%20for%20NetworkManager
[01:04] <danst_> theLE: sorry that I can't help you much except keeping up the conversation
[01:04] <theLE> danst_: no worries. thanks anyway

[01:04] <Guest25017> thanks jrib
[01:05] <Dakrav> i'm changing partition sizes on my laptop, and was wondering which one i should change to increase the room for ubuntu, it says 'sda2' and 'sda3'
[01:05] <jrib> Guest25017: « man NetworkManager » describes it; that iptables example though is probably helpful :)  There might also be some gui way to do it, but I'm not aware of it
[01:05] <KM0201> theLE: depending on the speed of your PC.. have you considered putting windows in a small Virtualbox, when you want to sync your iphone, boot the virtual windows, sync the phone, then shut it down... you won't even have to restart Linux... this is all i came up w/ in how to sync my zune.
[01:06] <danst_> Dakrav: why don't you mount them and check which one you need
[01:07] <danst_> KM0201: theLE: try looking on gtkpod
[01:07] <KM0201> danst_: w/ a Zune?  lol, that won't happen
[01:07] <Dakrav> danst_: i'm installing ubuntu, and i chose to specify partitions manually. i have win7 on here already, and it took the whole hard drive, so i decreased that, but i'm not sure which one to increase for ubuntu
[01:07] <danst_> oh
[01:08] <KM0201> danst_: i used gtkpod a long time ago for an old nano i had.. it worked fine
[01:08] <theLE> KM0201: yes but that seems rather ridiculous. I have a very managed music library, I'd rather not have to boot a VM just to curate and listen to my music
[01:08] <danst_> KM0201: sorry, I thought you were talking about similar devices
[01:08] <jscn_> Would anyone know why I'm getting 'error: unknown option: --vrdpport' when I do 'VBoxManage modifyvm "winxp" --vrdpport 5010' ?
[01:08] <KM0201> theLE: you don't have to boot it to listen to it.
[01:08] <KM0201> if you do it correctly
[01:08] <echosystm> how do i add a directory to my path?
[01:08] <echosystm> adding it to my .profile doesnt seem to do anything
[01:09] <itaylor57> theLE: i haven't been able to sync with any apple device with 4.X os
[01:09] <KM0201> theLE: unless you're wanting to listen to your ipod, through windows.
[01:09] <cablop> i have a weird issue... i changed the hard disk of my netbook for a bigger one, the new is working nicely, feels faster, but... it has a sound... like a whip from time to time... not too frequent... but i onder if this is a damage or something... how can i check it on linux? SMART says it is ok... dunno what else to do
[01:09] <jrib> jscn_: because there's no such option most likely
[01:09] <jscn_> can't seem to find anything much on google
[01:09] <jscn_> :)
[01:09] <danst_> jscn_: try -vrdpport, not "--
[01:09] <theLE> KM0201: then how do I get the ratings from the VM to a native player like Banshee?
[01:09] <jscn_> danst_, same message
[01:09] <theLE> itaylor57: you can if you install the newest version of the libraries (or so I'm told). There's a PPA somewhere
[01:09] <jscn_> jrib, :p
[01:09] <KM0201> theLE: i dunno
[01:10] <danst_> jscn_: maybe it depends on place where you put it
[01:10] <jscn_> the VirtualBox docs tell me to use that command, and I haven't managed to find any hints on google
[01:10] <danst_> jscn_: try before machine name
[01:10] <Dakrav> can some one tell me what partition i should increase to increase the room for ubuntu on my laptop please? it says there is 'sda1' (win7), 'sda2' ntfs 104.9 mb, and 'sda3' ntfs 11.1 gb
[01:11] <jrib> jscn_: here are my guesses: 1) that option is deprecated  2) that option is too new for the version in ubuntu  3) that option is not in the version in ubuntu (need the special version with usb and stuff)
[01:11] <jrib> jscn_: you should probably ask #vbox :)
[01:11] <cablop> Dakrav: i think you had to make the partitions before installing any OS... at this point you need something to partition from Windows... to avoid breaking the way Windows recognizes the partitions
[01:11] <jscn_> danst_, it complains it can't find the machine '--vrdrpport' :p
[01:11] <danst_> hurr
[01:12] <jscn_> jrib, kk, thx anyways
[01:12] <jrib> jscn_: here you go: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24606 (seems it was my guess (3))
[01:12] <cablop> try paragon partition manager or mmm i forgot the name of the one i suse, Dakrav give me a sec
[01:12] <Dakrav> cablop, i already decreased the win 7 partition size from the ubuntu installer, is that a bad thing?
[01:13] <cablop> Dakrav: as long as the ubuntuinstaller didn't changed the partition number this is not an issue
[01:13] <jscn_> jrib, ah, well, looks like I better install the non-free version :(
[01:13] <cablop> but your Windows will chkdsk the disk before using that Windows normally
[01:13] <jscn_> jrib, thanks muchly
[01:14] <Dakrav> cablop, what does that mean?
[01:14] <cablop> Dakrav: try EASEUS Partition Manager and move some partitions up
[01:14] <cablop> Dakrav: some services and the booting itself depend on the partition number, if they expect for Windows to be on the second partition it won't boot if it is now in the third partition
[01:15] <cablop> Dakrav: partitions are not stored in the partition table in the way they are in the disk, the first could be allocated at the end the second at the beginning and the third in the space in between
[01:15] <Dakrav> cablop, it's the same number, just different size, i just want to increase ubuntu's now, but i'm not sure which one to do
[01:17] <jc0694> trying to mount an external network drive but i keep getting an error messaage...
[01:17] <danst_> jc0694: which protocol are you using
[01:17] <cablop> Dakrav: my suggestion would be: 1st partition, /boot; 2nd, the Win 7 boot; 3rd partition, Windows 7, 4th, an extended partition... then place inside the extended partition new partitions... that ntfs you said, and one or more for linux
[01:18] <induz> i use Thunderbird and One of my gmail came out as white space...I checked that email on Outlook and i could read that email on MS comp. why is so??
[01:18] <induz> Also, one attachement came as broken .pdf file
[01:19] <cablop> Dakrav: you have a problem there, and it is you only have room left for one partition, and you need at least 2 if not willing to face some problems... dunno if your board or bios is able to reach the latest partition... and because if you use only one the boot will be on it...
[01:19] <jc0694> here's the input:  sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=XXXXX //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps /mnt/jepps/
[01:19] <jc0694> and the error i get says:  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps
[01:19] <cablop> Dakrav: some boards and bios cannot boot a system if it is placed beyond some disk sector, cylinder or sixze
[01:19] <cablop> *size
[01:19] <Dakrav> cablop, i have 3 partitions, one for win7 and two others
[01:20] <jc0694> can anybody help?
[01:20] <glenp> reetings,
[01:20] <glenp> A friend and I are at a loss.
[01:20] <glenp> Scenario:
[01:20] <glenp> Server 10.10
[01:20] <glenp> We have created a group xxxx on the server, and both of us are members of the group.
[01:20] <FloodBot3> glenp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:20] <glenp> Now in the home directory we created a directory of xxxx. With user1 as owner and group xxxx.
[01:20] <induz> I am thinking some of the files can not be downloaded on thunderbird
[01:20] <induz> or its caz of Lucid
[01:20] <Him> Hi guys. I recently installed a game that either uses OpenAL or QF for sound. With qf, the sound is horrible, so I want to try OpenAL. Unfortunately, I don't know what I need to get from the repos for openal.
[01:20] <danst_> jc0694: sudo apt-get install smbfc
[01:20] <Him> Can anyone help?
[01:20] <danst_> jc0694: sudo apt-get install smbfs
[01:20] <danst_> jc0694: mistyped
[01:20] <cablop> Dakrav: yes, Windows 7 creates a small partition of about 100 MB to hold thngs it needs for booting... and you have an extra one... 10 GB maybe? so that would be the recovery partition of your computer
[01:21] <splnet> I have a winxp hd mounted within ubuntu. How do I run an XP application from the winxp hd   like regedit ?
[01:21] <jc0694> what does smbfs do?
[01:21] <jc0694> danst_: what does smbfs do?
[01:21] <Dakrav> cablop, okay, i get it now
[01:22] <danst_> jc0694: gives you samba power
[01:22] <cablop> Dakrav:  no matter what operative system you use, and what do geeks or the microsoft staff says... i *highly* recommend to use at least three partitions for an Operative System, one for the boot partition, the system partition and the users and data partition, that would really ease your life when doing performance or recovery
[01:22] <jc0694> will do
[01:24] <Dakrav> cablop, okay, i can make new partitions in the ubuntu install thing, could i just make the 3 with that?
[01:24] <cablop> Dakrav: (well, Win XP or Vista does not use a boot partition, so just two for them, but still 3 parts for Win7)
[01:25] <jc0694> danst_: awww.... yaaaaa... SAMBA Power did it!
[01:25] <jc0694> danst_: muchas gracias
[01:25] <danst_> jc0694: good job!
[01:25] <jc0694> it works now...
[01:25] <jc0694> should that be automatically mounted or will i have to reboot?
[01:25] <cablop> Dakrav: yes you can, but... you'll face a problem... by design the partition table has only room for up to 4 partitions in a disk
[01:25] <Dakrav> cablop, can i user the ubuntu installer to make the boot, user, and data partitions for ubuntu?
[01:25] <Dakrav> cablop, oh
[01:26] <jc0694> danst_: do i have to reboot in order for the drive to mount
[01:26] <danst_> jc0694: after reboot it won't be mounted
[01:26] <Dakrav> cablop, so should i use one of the ones you specified?
[01:26] <cablop> Dakrav: with a trick, you convert one partition into an extended partition, that has it's own virtual partition table allowing you to extend the number of partitions, but... you cannot make a partition inside an extended partition booteable
[01:26] <jc0694> danst_: how do i automount that at bootup?
[01:27] <cablop> Dakrav: just cause some boards or bios cannot read the extended partition info, that's why
[01:27] <maco> cablop: thankfully, only windows cares about the bootable flag
[01:27] <Him> Guys, how would I install the OpenAL sound modules?
[01:27] <kiko> hi, is it possible to read the heap size using C language?
[01:27] <cablop> but... you need to find a way to make the grub of the ubuntu booteble from the bios
[01:27] <cablop> maco
[01:27] <danst_> jc0694: well, usulally people edit their /etc/fstab files for such purposes, but I add everything into /etc/rc.local
[01:28] <maco> cablop: if grub's on the mbr it shouldn't care about the rest
[01:28] <Dakrav> cablop, is there any way you could walk me through this? i'm a noob and barely know what your saying. but i don't know how to do
[01:28] <danst_> jc0694: add the command with full path to mount binary to /etc/rc.local before exit 0 line
[01:29] <danst_> jc0694: or google for /etc/fstab syntax for samba stuff
[01:29] <cablop> mmmm well... maco... this is the part... i barely rely on the mbr of a windows 7 machine, hehe
[01:29] <danst_> jc0694: editing fstab is more like PRO-way then I usually do
[01:29] <cablop> ok, Dakrav, you have the scenario of the mandatory win7 boot partition, the windows 7 partition and an extra partition... can you say what's in that third partition?
[01:30] <danst_> Him: try doing "apt-cache search openal sound"
[01:30] <Dakrav> cablop, no idea what you said
[01:30] <cablop> i dislike your system is saying the Windows 7 partition is sda1 and the boot one sda2... are you on a live cd?
[01:30] <Dakrav> sorry
[01:30] <cablop> ok...
[01:30] <danst_> Him: I hope there would be something useful
[01:30] <cablop> Dakrav: are you installing from a live cd or the alternate install or usb?
[01:31] <prezident> hello ppl ?
[01:31] <prezident> i have a dell xps one i wanted to know if their is anyway i can get the n screen buttons to work ?
[01:31] <Dakrav> i'm installing ubuntu, i burned an ios image to a cd, is that a live cd?
[01:31] <jc0694> danst_: actually, when i entered the command at the promt it didnt give an error but i don't see the drive mounted?
[01:31] <nucc1> how do i get awstats viewable in a browser?
[01:32] <danst_> jc0694: type "mount" without any options
[01:32] <LaurenK> do i need a different kernel to take advangae of a core duo processor?
[01:32] <danst_> jc0694: and check if it's there
[01:32] <jc0694> danst_: shouldnt' that drive show up as an icon on my desktop?
[01:32] <cablop> Dakrav: if it leads you to a full ubuntu with the install icon on the desktop, yup, a live cd
[01:32] <maco> nucc1: go to http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
[01:32] <Him> danst_: Thanks, but I've already done that. From what I see when I search for openal, I don't know what it is that I need to install. We have a few libs, a few java libs, a few docs, and a programming environment for 3d games.
[01:32] <danst_> jc0694: it shouldn't %)
[01:32] <maco> LaurenK: no
[01:32] <Dakrav> cablop, then yeah, it's a live cd
[01:32] <cablop> ok, what are you installing ubuntu for?
[01:32] <LaurenK> the i386 is as fast as it's going to go?
[01:32] <nucc1> maco, like thanks. how did you get that info?
[01:33] <jc0694> danst_: ya it shows up... but i don't see it on my desktop like things usually mount
[01:33] <maco> nucc1: i use awstats on my server
[01:33] <nucc1> maco, like where is the config located? so i can change the location :)
[01:33] <Dakrav> cablop, i'm going to use ubuntu almost every time i start my laptop
[01:33] <danst_> jc0694: oh well, show me the command you fed into computor
[01:33] <cablop> ok, so Wubi is not an option...
[01:33] <jc0694> here's the input:  sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=XXXXX //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps /mnt/jepps/
[01:34] <cablop> ah, sigh... you need one more partition!!!! you are in a laptop, so it is better for you to have a swap partition...
[01:34] <prezident> is there a way to get the on screen buttons to work on a dell xps one ?
[01:34] <nucc1> maco, now i have permission issues, it can't access the log in /var/log/apache2
[01:34] <Dakrav> okay
[01:34] <jc0694> danst_:  sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=XXXXX //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps /mnt/jepps/
[01:34] <danst_> jc0694: you can add at the end of this command " && ln -s /mnt/jepps/ /home/jepps/Desktop/sambapowah"
[01:35] <LaurenK> I've already found some bugs in the software, do i report them anywhere?
[01:35] <cablop> Dakrav: according to maco you can install it on an extended pertition... i never placed all in the extended partition, so i cannot say it would work as expected
[01:35] <SicNarf> msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER SicNarf vhrvlamsnpjg
[01:35] <danst_> jc0694: oh wait, bad idea
[01:35] <maco> nucc1: oh if you're using apache2, make sure you change in /etc/awstats/awstats.conf the LogFormat= line to be LogFormat=1
[01:35] <danst_> jc0694: that was stupid, sorry lol
[01:35] <Dakrav> cablop, i clicked to create partition, and it says 'Use as:' and one option is 'swap area' should i do that?
[01:35] <cablop> ok, Dakrav go to the System Menu, then Administration, then Gparted o Partition Editor, if it is not  there then the Disk tility on that menu
[01:36] <maco> cablop: i recall someone installing 63 distros on one machine using only 4 or 5 hard disks because they had a bajillion extended partitions.
[01:36] <maco> LaurenK: ubuntu-bug packagename
[01:36] <cablop> maco, i remembered that in a blog... they had a real partition for the /boot one
[01:36] <maco> sidewalk: time to change passwords?
[01:36] <jc0694> danst_: ?!?!? are u trying to help me or tease me?
[01:36] <Dakrav> cablop, i got gparted
[01:37] <danst_> jc0694: actually I have no idea how to put a link to it on your desktop
[01:37] <danst_> jc0694: make a icon there with "nautilus /mnt/jepps" command
[01:37] <cablop> ok, Dakrav it will show you the partitions of your hard disk, also their labels and what formats do they have
[01:37] <nucc1> maco, that's done, but do you have any suggestion as to what to do aabout the permission issue?
[01:37] <maco> cablop: mmmmk... i dont play much with using separate /boot partitions, i'm just sure that the bootable flag doesnt matter if grub's on the mbr (because ive seen someone demo this -- no bootable partition = windows wont boot, linux will)
[01:37] <maco> nucc1: looking
[01:38] <Dakrav> cablop, yeah, what should i do now?
[01:38] <cablop> well, Dakrav then tell me what the partitions are
[01:38] <maco> nucc1: my /var/log/apache2/access.log is permissions 640 root:adm
[01:38] <__Steven__> hi there. stupid noobquestion: when accessing through ssh i shouldn't use the user root right? how can i add a different user which is bound to a specific domain. i have plesk 9.5 if that helps
[01:39] <nucc1> maco, adm is a group you created yourself?
[01:39] <maco> nucc1: no
[01:39] <cablop> maco: mmm... well, i just never did it... but i don't have a real reason to think it wouldn't work
[01:39] <edbian> __Steven__, You are correct that you should not log in as root.  What do you mean a user that is 'bound to a domain' ?
[01:39] <nucc1> maco, hmmm, mine is the same permissions too.
[01:40] <timescoder> hello
[01:40] <r3in> how long does it generally take gparted to resize a partition (I assume it depends on size, amount of files, and how they are placed on the hdd?"
[01:40] <timescoder> I have a question I just started Linux and I use to use mIRC how can I use Linux to make a custom script?
[01:40] <Dakrav> unallocated - unallocated - 1 MiB;   /dev/sda1 - ext4 - 46.57 GiB;   unallocated - unallocated - 408.79 GiB;   /dev/sda2 - ntfs - 100 MiB;   /dev/sda3 - ntfs - 10.31 GiB
[01:40] <edbian> r3in, On the order of 10 minutes
[01:40] <__Steven__> edbian like in the folder vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs. isn't that the normal usage of creating a user?
[01:40] <Dakrav> cablop, unallocated - unallocated - 1 MiB;   /dev/sda1 - ext4 - 46.57 GiB;   unallocated - unallocated - 408.79 GiB;   /dev/sda2 - ntfs - 100 MiB;   /dev/sda3 - ntfs - 10.31 GiB
[01:41] <edbian> r3in, Sometimes it gets as high as 100 - 150 minutes
[01:41] <maco> r3in: you got all the variables
[01:41] <r3in> how big were your disks ebian?
[01:41] <__Steven__> edbian or what is the common use of creating a differnt user? is there any guide online or can you help me with this?
[01:41] <r3in> its been running here for about... 3=4
[01:41] <edbian> __Steven__, That is absolutely not the normal way to make a user.  New users are made user the adduser command
[01:42] <edbian> r3in, I have a 40 Gb and an 80Gb.  3, 4 minutes?  What are you trying to do again?
[01:42] <ylmfos> hello
[01:42] <edbian> __Steven__, I'll look one up, hang on
[01:42] <__Steven__> edbian thank you very very much. i'm pretty new to shell
[01:42] <edbian> __Steven__, There is a gui and cli method.  This link shows both: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto
[01:42] <nucc1> maco, i'll just change the file to world-readable
[01:42] <cablop> Dakrav: mmm wait a second, it does not make sense...
[01:42] <edbian> __Steven__, no problem!  How do you normally log into this server?  It is an Ubuntu server right?
[01:43] <r3in> 3-4 hours, but is 1tb, and has to make a 1-200gb partiton, with approx 700gb of data
[01:43] <cablop> Dakrav: except if the 10 GB partition is Win7... but i barely believe Win7 will sit on that small disk
[01:43] <__Steven__> edbian i normally log in through either plesk or shell via root or via ftp
[01:43] <jfe> hi all.
[01:43] <edbian> __Steven__, Is this an Ubuntu server?
[01:44] <Dakrav> sda1 is win7, but i made that 50 gb instead of taking up all of my hard drive
[01:44] <edbian> __Steven__, You should not be sshing as the root user
[01:44] <Dakrav> cablop, sda1 is win7, but i made that 50 gb instead of taking up all of my hard drive
[01:44] <__Steven__> edbian i just have a problem that the user has to be a specific user in order to install drupal properly. yes it's ubuntu
[01:44] <edbian> __Steven__, what is plesk?
[01:44] <__Steven__> parallels plesk panel
[01:44] <edbian> __Steven__, You can be any user and you'll be able to install things using sudo
[01:44] <windyone> my home folder  " file not found"
[01:45] <edbian> __Steven__, on an Ubuntu machine you don't ever log in as root.
[01:45] <edbian> !root | __Steven__
[01:45] <cablop> Dakrav... erm... well... that is an ext4 partition... that seems to be that you didn't resized the partition but deleted it instead...
[01:45] <edbian> __Steven__, Did you set up this server?
[01:45] <KM0201> Dakrav: sda1 can't be Win7, because according to your output, sda1 is ext4
[01:45] <__Steven__> there is an autoinstall to it
[01:45] <Dakrav> oh
[01:45] <edbian> __Steven__, perhaps, I guarantee root can do it. (or some user using sudo)
[01:45] <Luvz2drv> plesk - used for hosting environments - automates and simplifies hosting tasks and provides a front end for end users to create accounts and manage there stuff on the server
[01:46] <xiven> Which (free) hosting control panel  works the best with Apache2 (and maybe nGinx!?) on Ubuntu 10.10 (VPS)?
[01:46] <cablop> Dakrav: if you had important data there then you need to stop now and recover it
[01:47] <cablop> if not,, then you can go ahead, and deal with installing Windows 7 again
[01:47] <edbian> Luvz2drv, Thanks
[01:47] <Dakrav> i have nothing on my laptop, i just installed win7 about 20 minutes ago, and now i'm trying to install ubuntu
[01:47] <Dakrav> should i reinstall win7
[01:47] <cablop> ok, then that Windows 7 is not there anymore
[01:47] <cablop> ok, then,. before anything plan how are you going to use the partitions
[01:47] <cablop> what is on the 10 GB partition?
[01:48] <cablop> Dakrav: what is on the 10 GB partition?
[01:48] <__Steven__> funny. says the user already exists
[01:48] <windyone> my home folder is saying " file not found" when I click on it.  Can someone help me get it back?
[01:48] <edbian> __Steven__, what user?
[01:48] <__Steven__> the one i wanted to create
[01:48] <skyfire> how to remove application on ubuntu 101.10
[01:48] <edbian> windyone, I can! :)  can you pastebin the output of df -h and sudo fdisk -l  ?
[01:48] <cablop> windyone: in gnome? maybe it is a permissions issue
[01:48] <danst_> skyfire: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[01:48] <edbian> skyfire, sudo apt-get remove <packageName>
[01:49] <edbian> __Steven__, i know that, what was the name of it??
[01:49] <con-man> how do I tell what my dns address is? cant tell with ifconfig?
[01:49] <__Steven__> moya
[01:49] <edbian> danst_, You beat me to it!
[01:49] <cablop> skyfire you can also use the Software Manager on the Applications menu
[01:49] <nucc1> windyone, try logout, login
[01:49] <edbian> __Steven__, Well, it must be one you created!  (perhaps at install time?)
[01:49] <cablop> skyfire: "Ubuntu Software Center"
[01:49] <cablop> Dakrav: are you therE?
[01:49] <Dakrav> cablop, i have no idea what is on anything, i just installed win7 turned off, boot to the ubuntu live cd and said, try, then i guess i deleted win7, and now i'm here. i'm going to use ubuntu for everything.
[01:49] <edbian> windyone, I'm assuming you tried rebooting and logging out / in
[01:49] <__Steven__> edbian could be. yes. but i don't know the pw for that one ^^
[01:50] <xiven> Should Ubuntu recognize a LinkSys WUSB100 Wireless Network Adapter out-of-the-box?
[01:50] <kyrix> is there a way to disable the "close" button on certain applications?
[01:50] <edbian> __Steven__, well if you know the root password you can change other user's passwords.  (Again I have no idea how / why you have a root password)
[01:50] <windyone> yes I have logged out and in.. I have auto log in.
[01:50] <nucc1> maco, what does a "visit" mean? pardon me :)
[01:50] <edbian> kyrix, You could edit the source code!
[01:50] <cablop> ok Dakrav open a nautilus, yopu should see the partition there, mount it and see if it has a recovery folder or something
[01:50] <edbian> windyone, can I get that stuff in pastebin ?
[01:50] <Luvz2drv> _Steven_ are you a user on the machine or the server admin?
[01:50] <__Steven__> edbian cuz it's my server. why shouldn't there be one?
[01:50] <cablop> or just check in the gparted if the partition is named recovery
[01:50] <edbian> Luvz2drv, He's logging in as root
[01:50] <cablop> Dakrav: or sth like that
[01:51] <maco> nucc1: someone coming to your site. each site visit may involve one or more page views
[01:51] <edbian> !root | __Steven__,
[01:51] <kyrix> edbian, thanks, was looking maybe for some hidden config ;)
[01:51] <Dakrav> cablop, where do i find nautilus?
[01:51] <edbian> __Steven__, by default Ubuntu users sudo, not a root account.
[01:51] <bigeye> Hi, Where can I move self-installed file such as android-sdk.tar.gz or google-appengine.tar.gz?    /usr/lib? /usr/share? or /usr/bin?
[01:51] <nucc1> maco, ok, so it's just a unique IP address?
[01:51] <edbian> kyrix, None exists :)
[01:51] <cablop> Dakrav: this is the file explorer on ubuntu
[01:51] <maco> nucc1: yep, though i suppose with a timeout since return visitors are also measured
[01:51] <cablop> Dakrav: just open the computer or desktop or home place  in the places menu
[01:52] <edbian> bigeye, First look in those packages for uninstall scripts.  If they have them that's the easiest way
[01:52] <windyone> http://pastebin.com/F1B2JFif
[01:52] <Dakrav> cablop, k, what do i do now?
[01:52] <marcelo> brazil?
[01:52] <Luvz2drv> _Steven_ Who installed the machine yourself or a datacenter
[01:52] <marcelo> how channel?
[01:52] <nucc1> maco, thanks.
[01:52] <edbian> windyone, got it, reading, please start your posts with my name to catch my attention
[01:52] <windyone> edbian ok
[01:52] <__Steven__> edbian problem is: i already have everything running on my website. what if i change the pw now and everythings f... up?
[01:52] <edbian> windyone, I have df -h from you.  I need sudo fdisk -l  :)
[01:52] <__Steven__> i installed through webinterface from my provider
[01:53] <edbian> windyone, and since you need to make another pastebin anyway please put the output of dmesg in it too :)
[01:53] <cablop> Dakrav: well, tell me what's inside it... or if you don't care and are unwilling to use the recovery of the laptop (cause is another windows or the previous vista before you upgrade, then you can delete that partition...
[01:53] <edbian> __Steven__, Change the password of what?  Of moya the user?  I doubt it will affect anything
[01:53] <edbian> __Steven__, in fact, I would be amazed since you've never logged in as that user
[01:53] <__Steven__> hmmm ok

[01:54] <edbian> __Steven__, btw, the best way to learn linux / ubuntu is to tinker and mess with stuff.  Don't be afraid of breaking it.  Besides deleting files everything can be fixed
[01:54] <edbian> windyone, reading...
[01:54] <windyone> edbian the message is simply file not found
[01:54] <cablop> Dakrav: so the cleanest way is to start with an empty disk, then plan your partitions... do you plan to install more systems than ubuntu and windows in the future?
[01:55] <edbian> windyone, mmm, this is odd.  I expected you'd have a separate /home partition but I don't see that here.  Can you see your home in a terminal?
[01:55] <Dakrav> cablop, there was no previous vista, it came with win 7 and i put ubuntu on it not wanting win7 to be on it, but i have to put win7 on it acording to my mom,
[01:55] <Dakrav> cablop, just ubuntu and win7
[01:55] <kyrix> edbian, seems like there is way, using devilspie :)
[01:55] <windyone> how would I??
[01:55] <cablop> Dakrav: haha, ok, then you face a user req there :P
[01:55] <windyone> edbian woops  how would I see the home
[01:55] <kyrix> code is old.... though lets see how it goes
[01:55] <bigeye> edbian, thanks. so if there doesn't exist, Should I make own uninstall script and copy to /usr/lib directory?
[01:55] <edbian> kyrix, That won't change if applications have close buttons would it?
[01:55] <cablop> Dakrav: so, your mother would be the windows user and you the linux one...
[01:55] <edbian> windyone, open the terminal, type ls
[01:56] <Guest49157> I'm having problems in updating my ubuntu, this message appears when going to calculate the space for installation
[01:56] <Guest49157> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver:: Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages (hold). update
[01:56] <kyrix> edbian, can change decorations
[01:56] <edbian> windyone, the terminal by default is in the home folder.  ls lists everything in the current folder
[01:56] <nucc1> edbian, i don't think windyone has a separate home partition. it would have shown in 'df -h'
[01:56] <Dakrav> cablop, yes, but she only needs about 10 gb
[01:56] <edbian> kyrix, It's referring to the closer, minimum, and maximize title bar thingy
[01:56] <windyone> edbian yes there is stuff in different colors
[01:56] <cablop> Dakrav: ok, something so special that you will need the Windows for?
[01:56] <edbian> nucc1, yeah, he does not.
[01:56] <cablop> Dakrav: something not replaceable?
[01:56] <Dakrav> cablop, sure
[01:56] <edbian> windyone, Are those your files / folders?
[01:56] <Dakrav> sounds interesting
[01:57] <Tashia> How can I connect to a wireless network from ubuntu -server CLI? This is a fresh install and has no desktop.
[01:57] <windyone> edbian folders I think
[01:57] <edbian> nucc1, It also does not show up in sudo fdisk -l
[01:57] <edbian> windyone, Are they YOUR'S? Your home folder?
[01:57] <cablop> Dakrav: ok, Win 7 would eat 50 GB if you will use it for usage and minimal file storage... 100 GB if she is going to save her music and other stuff
[01:58] <nucc1> edbian, windyone a shot in the dark here, try re-installing 'ubuntu-desktop'
[01:58] <Dakrav> cablop, just 50
[01:58] <nucc1> windyone, are you on ubuntu 10.04?
[01:58] <edbian> nucc1, Umm, how is that going to help?
[01:58] <cablop> Dakrav: remember this thing, if this is a mechanical disk, not a SSD, the farer from the beginning of the disk the slower the disk is
[01:58] <creator> yo
[01:58] <windyone> edbian strangely it says windyone@windyone-Satelite which is my computer
[01:58] <nucc1> edbian, it's probably a problem with gnome
[01:59] <edbian> windyone, how is that strange?
[01:59] <edbian> nucc1, alright I'm game
[01:59] <ineedhelp_> I'm having problems in updating my ubuntu, this message appears when going to calculate the space for installation
[01:59] <ineedhelp_> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver:: Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages (hold). update
[01:59] <zulax> isnt ofris availavle in repo? (i m in 10.04)
[01:59] <zulax> its for deep freeze
[01:59] <cablop> Dakrav: but the farer from the beginning the hardest to boot it on some bios,
[01:59] <edbian> windyone, It actually says windyone@windyone-Satellite-A205:~$   ;)
[01:59] <Dakrav> cablop, not sure what tha means lol, sorry
[01:59] <cablop> you need, one linux partition, one swap partition, one windows partition, and an extended partition for extra stuff
[02:00] <edbian> cablop, fyi windows likes to be the first partition
[02:00] <Dakrav> cablop, okay
[02:00] <Dakrav> what do i do?
[02:00] <nucc1> edbian, windyone we should try adjusting the ownership of your home folder.
[02:00] <edbian> nucc1, he was able to ls in it
[02:01] <nucc1> edbian, it could be just a specific file needed by nautilus
[02:01] <edbian> nucc1, also, he didn't get a permissions error
[02:01] <cablop> ok Dakrav long story short, because some limit you cannot put a booteable partition beyond some cylinder or block or wathever on the disk, it simply becomes unreacheable for the bios, linux can survive to it, but windows cannot
[02:01] <nucc1> edbian, i had such wierdness when i was on lucid, running a chown on my homefolder used to fix it.
[02:01] <Dakrav> cablop, okay, makes sense
[02:01] <edbian> windyone, Can I see a screenshot with the error message on it?  I wanna see what causes the error and where the error shows up
[02:01] <cablop> Dakrav: the swap partition is going to be the virtual memory equivalent, so don't put it at the end of the disk...
[02:01] <edbian> nucc1, alright :)
[02:02] <Delphious> hello
[02:02] <cablop> Dakrav: it would be slower
[02:02] <zulax> is there an ofris like deep freeze software in the repos on 10.04
[02:02] <nucc1> edbian, but you're right, let's see a screenshot
[02:02] <Dakrav> okay, should i delete all other partitions before i start doing this?
[02:02] <Dakrav> cablop, okay, should i delete all other partitions before i start doing this?
[02:02] <cablop> yes, Dakrav, delete them, and make you sure no one is left
[02:03] <cablop> Dakrav: one partition left and you cannot guarantee if the partitions would be ok
[02:03] <Dakrav> cablop, is it okay to do it from gparted?
[02:03] <victhor> my rhythmbox displays those errors on the terminal if I try to load some plugins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/557482/ I use ubuntu 10.10
[02:03] <edbian> windyone, nucc1 and I are on board.  Are you still here?
[02:03] <cablop> yes, it is ok
[02:03] <cablop> Dakrav: but delettte all before
[02:03] <Dakrav> k, i'll do that now
[02:03] <nucc1> windyone, press 'prt scr' when the error is visible, then uploade it to imagebin
[02:03] <windyone> yes
[02:03] <Dakrav> cablop, delete each and every one right?
[02:03] <windyone> THE error is simply File not found when I click on home folder
[02:03] <cablop> Dakrav: if you can use the windows in a virtual machine that would be nice for you :P
[02:04] <Delphious> would one say it would be good to keep my /usr directory fairly large?
[02:04] <Dakrav> cablop, i don't know what that is, i'm using a desktop for this chat, and have my laptop on my lap
[02:04] <Pomeroy> Is there really any major advantage to me installying Windows XP over Windows 2000?
[02:04] <nucc1> windyone, if you right-click the folder and view properties, what does it say?
[02:04] <cablop> Dakrav: yes, don't leave one left, if you have the Windows 7 installer of your computer on a disk you won't gface a problem
[02:04] <Tashia> Can someone tell me how to connect and scan for a wireless network from Terminal? I'm using a fresh install of ubuntu-server
[02:04] <gmg> Hi, where can I get a power managment program to manage my laptop power? I want it to go into standby automaticly when the power is disconected
[02:04] <special_k> is there a unix channel in free node
[02:05] <cablop> ok, Dakrav just wait a second... did you installed the Win7 froma CD right?
[02:05] <Dakrav> cablop, i have win7 on a cd
[02:05] <windyone> nuccl It says File not found
[02:05] <zulax> special_k, ##linux
[02:05] <jgcampbell300> hi, i am looking for suggestions, I am looking for a way to have a gui interface for iptables on my headless ubuntu server, something thats not real hard to use im just learning about the networking in linux
[02:05] <special_k> ty
[02:05] <zulax> any deep freeze software for ubuntu?
[02:05] <edbian> windyone, screenshot please.  Do you know how to do that
[02:05] <Dakrav> cablop, yes, i have the cd right here
[02:05] <Pomeroy> I've just downloaded Ubuntu, and I can't seem to find Minesweeper.
[02:05] <edbian> ?
[02:05] <windyone> doing it now
[02:05] <edbian> jgcampbell300, firestarter
[02:05] <Pomeroy> Does anybody know where I can find it?
[02:05] <jgcampbell300> edbian; can i use firestarter over ssh ?
[02:05] <ineedhelp_> i need help with upgrade the 10.04 to 10.10
[02:05] <nucc1> windyone, ok, let's just try this. in the terminal, run 'sudo chown windyone.windyone -R ./'
[02:05] <cablop> Dakrav: ok, perfect, then you don't need the recovery installer... anyway... we can trust on it after changig the partitions as it would expect them to be
[02:05] <edbian> jgcampbell300, is you use the -x flag when you start ssh
[02:06] <Benkinooby> my ubuntu 10.10 (minimal) installation always freezes, unitl i press any key, then it goes on... same thing on virtual machen on my computer. but then, suddenly, install goes smoothly on VM. any ideas what could be the cause?
[02:06] <nucc1> windyone, in your home folder. it will take a while to run though
[02:06] <cablop> Dakrav: so go ahead and delete the partitions
[02:06] <Pomeroy> ineedhelp_: You can't upgrade to 10.10 anymore from 10.04, you will need to downgrade to 10.02 first.
[02:06] <edbian> jgcampbell300, put firestarter is a graphical app so it's probably going to want to install ubuntu-desktop or something
[02:06] <cablop> Dakrav: i'll think for a second a nice layout...
[02:06] <ericP> i installed a 10.10 x64 box and the mouse driver knows nothing of its touchpad-ness
[02:06] <ericP> there are lots of two-finger activites i'd like to be engaging in if only i had the touch
[02:06] <Dakrav> cablop, k, all done
[02:06] <Pomeroy> ericP is the x64 box cardboard or plastic?
[02:06] <edbian> Pomeroy, Please stop trolling.
[02:06] <ineedhelp_> Pomeroy,  how do this?
[02:06] <jgcampbell300> edbian; hmm is there a way to keep from installing desktop i really dont want the wasted resources
[02:06] <paq7512> i just formatted an internet hdd as ext4 how can i get write permission to the drive?
[02:07] <edbian> jgcampbell300, I'm sure there is but I don't know how :(
[02:07] <ericP> Pomeroy, you know that cardboard lined with plastic characteristic of to-go cups?
[02:07] <edbian> paq7512, sudo chown -R <you> /path/to/drive
[02:07] <jgcampbell300> edbian: ok thank you
[02:07] <Delphious> pomeroy, open the software centre or synaptic and search for gnomine or kmines
[02:07] <windyone> SORRY for the disconnect.. You wanted me to do something in the terminal
[02:07] <edbian> jgcampbell300, sorry I can't help more!
[02:07] <lilith> anybody know if changing a kernel might impove wirelss issues?
[02:07] <edbian> windyone, we want a screenshot of the error.  Do you know how to do that?
[02:07] <edbian> lilith, It sometimes does :)
[02:08] <nucc1> paq7512, best is to create a folder on it, then give yourself r/w permissions in that folder
[02:08] <windyone> not really, i was learning when i got disconnected
[02:08] <lilith> edbian: Iĺl try that thanks
[02:08] <Benkinooby> jgcampbell300, has the OS to be ubuntu?
[02:08] <cablop> Dakrav: how much ram does your laptop have? are you planning to increase it?
[02:08] <edbian> windyone, Applications -> Accessories -> Screenshot.  Just mess with it a bit you'll figure it out.
[02:08] <edbian> lilith, yep
[02:08] <windyone> edbian I have scrshot     now what do I do with it?
[02:08] <ineedhelp_> i need help with upgrade the 10.04 to 10.10?
[02:09] <Dakrav> cablop, it has a 500 gb hard drive i believe, and i don't plan on increasing it
[02:09] <windyone> copy to clipboard or save??
[02:09] <nucc1> windyone, go to www.imagebin.org
[02:09] <nucc1> windyone, save
[02:09] <cablop> Dakrav: i mean ram
[02:09] <edbian> windyone, put it here: http://imageshack.us/
[02:09] <edbian> windyone, It's pastebin for images
[02:09] <edbian> windyone, save it so you can upload it to a site
[02:09] <cablop> windyone: or use imgur
[02:10] <nucc1> cablop, this is not the time for options
[02:10] <Dakrav> cablop, i think it has 4, 4-6 i think
[02:10] <jgcampbell300> benkinooby: i am running ubuntu 10.10 server
[02:10] <cablop> ok 4 gb...
[02:10] <windyone> where does it save to????
[02:10] <windyone> all my stuff is file not found'
[02:10] <nucc1> windyone, the folder you chose
[02:10] <nucc1> windyone, you can just take a new one and make sure to choose desktop
[02:10] <edbian> windyone, put it on the desktop, does that work?
[02:10] <windyone> places pictures file not found
[02:11] <edbian> windyone, yeah yeah, put in on the desktop
[02:11] <windyone> ill try again
[02:11] <windyone> ok...  its on desktop
[02:11] <edbian> god speed windyone
[02:12] <nucc1> windyone, go to imageshack.us and upload it
[02:12] <Benkinooby> jgcampbell300, i often saw, from other (firewall-)distros, that they were configured thourgh a webinterface. i'm sure you'll find something similar for ubuntu... i you like the idea
[02:12] <windyone> edbian http://img171.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img171/2790/screenshotdut.png
[02:13] <edbian> windyone, good job
[02:13] <cablop> Dakrav: ok bios has a 1024 cylinder booteable boundary and can affect some linux distros also
[02:13] <windyone> sorry it took so lond
[02:13] <edbian> windyone, what caused the error to show up?
[02:13] <windyone> long
[02:13] <edbian> windyone, no worries
[02:13] <Dakrav> cablop, k
[02:13] <__Steven__> edbian i did it. thank you for your help. really appreciate it
[02:13] <edbian> windyone, sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus
[02:13] <edbian> __Steven__, no problem! :)
[02:13] <victhor> my rhythmbox displays those errors on the terminal if I try to load some plugins(they won't load): http://paste.ubuntu.com/557482/ I use ubuntu 10.10.
[02:13] <edbian> __Steven__, Glad I could help
[02:14] <Delphious> can someone explain what is meant by a "logical" partition?
[02:14] <nucc1> edbian, he probably doesn't have aptitude installed
[02:14] <nucc1> Delphious, google it
[02:14] <cablop> Dakrav: so, to be sure well place a small boot partition at the beginning... 100 MB or 255 MB would be enough
[02:14] <windyone> us
[02:14] <jgcampbell300> benkinooby: ty
[02:14] <edbian> nucc1, It's installed by default
[02:14] <__Steven__> edbian btw: http://www.formitopia.com/
[02:14] <Dakrav> cablop, k
[02:14] <edbian> __Steven__, a plug??!
[02:14] <cablop> Dakrav: well 50 MB, but hard to tweak if you want to play around
[02:14] <edbian> __Steven__, j/k  neat.  I'll check it out.
[02:14] <__Steven__> edbian what i wanted to create the user for. ^^^
[02:15] <cablop> Dakrav: i'll recommend 255 MB
[02:15] <windyone> edbian sudo aptitude: command not found
[02:15] <edbian> nucc1, you're right :)
[02:15] <nucc1> windyone, sudo apt-get install nautilus
[02:15] <Travis-42> According to my gnome system monitor, 96% of my 6gb of memory is in use by programs, but when I click processes, I can only add up about 1gb worth of memory in use. How do I find out what's using the rest?
[02:15] <nucc1> edbian, :)
[02:15] <edbian> nucc1, I don't think that reinstalls it
[02:15] <windyone> sudo apt-get install nautilus
[02:15] <edbian> windyone, sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus
[02:15] <Dakrav> cablop, k
[02:15] <windyone> ok ill try it
[02:15] <cablop> Dakrav: 2nd partition, Win 7 50 GB, format as ntfs
[02:15] <nucc1> windyone, sudo apt-get install aptitude
[02:15] <ineedhelp_> i need help with upgrade the 10.04 to 10.10?
[02:16] <Muelli> Travis-42: that's complicated. Could be caches, for example. Check "free".
[02:16] <edbian> nucc1, That won't re-install it
[02:16] <nucc1> edbian, yea, that was better :p
[02:16] <Dakrav> cablop, wait, should i be making these already?
[02:16] <edbian> windyone, stop typing command
[02:16] <windyone> edbian doing it.. it is installing
[02:16] <edbian> windyone, what command did you run?
[02:16] <Muelli> Travis-42: cmp http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html for starters
[02:16] <Travis-42> Muelli, no it's not the caches
[02:16] <r3in> YES!!!!
[02:17] <xuanbin> 全是英文，晕
[02:17] <Travis-42> Muelli, 4% in use as cache... and free seems to confirm this
[02:17] <nucc1> xuanbin, !cn
[02:17] <windyone> edbian sudo apt-get install aptitude
[02:17] <cablop> Dakrav: 3rd partition, swap 1.5~2.5 times your RAM size, if you plan to increase it's RAM then use the desired RAM amount, not the current
[02:17] <r3in> eh, sorry
[02:17] <nucc1> !cn
[02:17] <xuanbin> y
[02:17] <edbian> windyone, did it fix the problem?
[02:17] <windyone> edbian it is installed
[02:17] <nucc1> windyone, now you can run sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus
[02:17] <windyone> edbian no it didnt
[02:17] <cablop> Dakrav: that is, for example, in my netbook it came with 1 GB but i plan to increase to 2 GB, then i use a 5GB swap
[02:17] <Dakrav> cablop, okay, should i start making these partitions?
[02:18] <edbian> windyone, sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus
[02:18] <Travis-42> Muelli, I don't think it's inaccurate, for example I have 3gb allocated to a virtual machine, but what I'm wondering if how to get a program to display everything that is using it
[02:18] <Dakrav> cablop, gotya
[02:18] <edbian> windyone, that will re-install it.  I think just install alone might have just saw that it was already installed and done nothing
[02:18] <Muelli> Travis-42: can be that the processes use much memory, but when it comes to the physical RAM usage, it's not so much because many pages are shared.
[02:18] <cablop> Dakrav: swap aize will be important you need it to be able to hibernate
[02:18] <x0x> Hello... Can i play Windows Games on my Ubuntu??
[02:18] <windyone> edbian ok.. I am --re
[02:18] <Delphious> wine, or a windows virtual machine
[02:18] <KM0201> x0x: sometimes
[02:18] <Dakrav> cablop, i never use hibernate
[02:18] <edbian> windyone, lemme know how it goes
[02:19] <x0x> Delphious: Wine Sucks... maybe you can open soft program's like mirc and couple more.. but you cant play games.
[02:19] <edbian> nucc1, what command did you used to run?  Did you have this problem exactly?
[02:19] <windyone> edbian done and still cannot find files    no change
[02:19] <nucc1> edbian, nah, mine was different. login used to fail due to permission issues.
[02:19] <Hilikus> how do i restore alsa to the ubuntu default state? i was trying to update some kernel  snd modules and broke it
[02:19] <nucc1> windyone, sudo killall nautilus
[02:19] <KM0201> x0x: well, yu can't play "all" games would be more accurate
[02:20] <sacarlson>  Travis-42: I have a similar problem did you try top?  even top seems to not show me were much of my mem has gone
[02:20] <cablop> Dakrav: then 4rth partition, you can set it for whole linux or use an extended with many smaller inside... one recommendation is to set one for root / and other for /home, ubuntu will work well with 25 GB for root partition ( / )
[02:20] <Delphious> i've ran guild wars and wow in wine without a problem
[02:20] <windyone> edbian ok
[02:20] <edbian> windyone, Can you look at other folders besides /home ?
[02:20] <Travis-42> Muelli, and I know the system keeps hitting swap pretty heavily because the memory is used up
[02:20] <nucc1> edbian, he should kill and re-run nautilus
[02:20] <edbian> nucc1, agreed
[02:21] <Travis-42> sacarlson, top and htop are similarly unhelpful. according to top, less than 10% of mem is used up by programs
[02:21] <x0x> im curentlly with dual boot. my primary HD have Winxp and the secondary have Ubuntu, ive gived 20gb with gparted on my ubuntu, is there any way to "Transfer my ubuntu" on my primary Hard disk after i format and give all space to my ubuntu without loose my data etc?
[02:21] <jonthue> freeciv keeps crashing everytime i try to build my base
[02:21] <nucc1> so windyone run 'sudo killall nautilus'
[02:21] <x0x> i hope my pharsing helo you english its not my main lang.
[02:21] <windyone> edbian I cannot see anything in places..  I can use files
[02:21] <x0x> help*
[02:21] <cablop> Dakrav: it is a laptop... you'll need hibernation... not all the time you have energy supply or you cannot just lose work in the event of changing the battery
[02:21] <nucc1> windyone, just to be sure, have you logged out and back in since the problem started?
[02:21] <windyone> edbian I did        sudo killall nautilus
[02:21] <m2mg> go to www.winehq.org/ and see if the game you want to play is listed
[02:22] <sacarlson> Travis-42: sounds like what I see also and I run out of mem to us virtualbox unless I reboot and it goes back to about 900meg in use for a few hours or days
[02:22] <nucc1> windyone, you can run nautilus again by just typing nautilus
[02:22] <windyone> nucci yes I did.. I have auto loggin  all I do is restart
[02:22] <edbian> windyone, and now nautilus
[02:22] <Dakrav> cablop, okay

[02:24] <edbian> windyone, where did you get this error?
[02:24] <nucc1> windyone, wanna paste it?
[02:24] <cablop> Dakrav: next, install Win 7 first, don't delete or change partitions, don tlet it create anything else
[02:25] <edbian> nucc1, yes paste it
[02:25] <windyone> edbian  ok hold on
[02:25] <m2mg> you can also go to www.cedega.com/ and see if your game  is listed but cedega takes money for the program

[02:26] <edbian> windyone, reading

[02:26] <vychune> http://pastebin.com/wvMBHYPB
[02:26] <cablop> dakrav, so summary, create all 4 partititions before, all 4, /boot (suggested ext3) 255MiB, Windows NTFS 7 50 GiB, SWAP 2.5x your amount of ram in GiB, / for linux or extended (with at least one / and one /home partition)
[02:27] <windyone> edbian ok
[02:27] <edbian> windyone, try again.  Is it fixed?
[02:27] <cablop> Dakrav: then restart and install Windows in the 50 GiB partition, allow it to format it, but not delete or create an additional one... that way we are forcing it to put the booteable stuff into the same partition, and your mother will see just one C:disk
[02:28] <windyone> edbian ok..  this is what i got      chown: cannot access `/home/windyone/.gvfs': Permission denied
[02:28] <windyone> windyone@windyone-Satellite-A205:~$
[02:28] <mernilio> Hi all! :-)
[02:28] <edbian> windyone, did you run sudo with it?
[02:28] <nucc1> windyone, that will take a while to complete
[02:28] <edbian> windyone, sudo chown -R windyone /home/windyone     ?
[02:29] <edbian> nucc1, windyone, We have found the problem
[02:29] <cablop> Dakrav: then back to linux and use the partitions... remember, the first one should have /boot at the mounting point, the system one /... if you use another for the user files then /home is the mounting point
[02:29] <windyone> edbian Yes I ran sudo chown -R windyone /home/windyone
[02:29] <x0x> anyone Ubuntu expert to help me?
[02:29] <nucc1> edbian, which is what i suggested :p
[02:29] <nucc1> windyone, it's still running eh?
[02:29] <edbian> nucc1, :)
[02:29] <paq7512> sudo chown -R paul /dev/sde
[02:29] <cablop> Dakrav: that's all
[02:29] <edbian> windyone, what is the output of sudo ls -l /home/windyone/.gvfs
[02:29] <paq7512> is that correct permission to read and write to a drive?

[02:30] <x0x> GangBuntu nation
[02:30] <nucc1> windyone, you need to logout, then alt+ctrl + f1, login and run the command from there

[02:33] <x0x> it will be nice if i keep a backup of my windowsxp for the vmware on the ubuntu
[02:33] <x0x> :)
[02:33] <cablop> Dakrav: if you install linux before windows, windows will overwrite the linux loader and then you'll have to rebuild it... not a nice thing on some systems
[02:33] <edbian> windyone, ls -l /home/windyone/.gvfs ?
[02:33] <windyone> edbian windyone@windyone-Satellite-A205:~$ sudo ls -l /home/windyone/.gvfs

[02:33] <nucc1> edbian, windyone you need to logout, and run the chmod command.
[02:33] <edbian> nucc1, who the hell owns .gvfs ??
[02:33] <n-iCe> any way to broadcast from linux? a internet radio?
[02:33] <nucc1> edbian, it's some wierdness in glib i think.
[02:33] <edbian> that root can't read it?
[02:33] <Benkinooby> x0x, and you totally want to erase windows? no data there to save?
[02:34] <drake> need help changing data directory to another disk for mysql
[02:34] <nucc1> edbian, it works fine, it's a combination of gnome-session and consolekit and glib, the error comes from one of them. it's what i experienced
[02:34] <edbian> nucc1, I see
[02:34] <nucc1> edbian, if he logs out and runs the command from a VT, it should work. mine worked.
[02:35] <edbian> nucc1, awesome
[02:35] <nucc1> edbian, in fact, it was so wierd i though my hard drive was faulty
[02:35] <x0x> Benkinooby: maybe to keep a backup or something so i can restore configurations on the VMware on my ubuntu.
[02:35] <windyone> nuccl I logged out...  how do I run the command without being loggin in??
[02:35] <nucc1> windyone, alt+ctrl+f1
[02:35] <x0x> but to transfer my Ubuntu on the primary driver.
[02:35] <edbian> windyone, shutdown button -> logout, then press ctrl + alt + F1, then login there, then run sudo chown -R windyone /home/windyone
[02:35] <x0x> is that possible?
[02:35] <nucc1> windyone, also, run this command
[02:35] <edbian> windyone, I'm not typing that again so don't ask me to.
[02:36] <nucc1> windyone, sudo chown windyone.windyone -R /home/windyone
[02:36] <tripelb> let's say, I have a file in .avi and I want to burn it to a dvd in a form in which I can play it on a dvd player hooked to a Tv. -- correction, I have several files and want to burn them all on a disk. (can I have a menu controller too or do I have to fast forward to get to the next one?)
[02:36] <nucc1> windyone, i hope your home folder is actually 'windyone' ?
[02:36] <cablop> Dakrav: yup, nowadays some CDs can recover your linux loader... but hard for some special configurations... like having an encrypted disk or LVM partitions... or a raid array.. so you must know about mounting those special filesystems, chrooting and thinks like what sda and hd0 are... hehe
[02:36] <sagaci> is anyone using ubuntu 10.10 right this moment
[02:36] <Benkinooby> x0x, to be hosten, i am not 100% sure about your plans/settings: you have 2 hard discs. one is used for windows, one is used for ubunut. now you want to use both harddsiks for ubuntu. is that correct?
[02:36] <tripelb> hi crazydiamond, lol
[02:37] <Dakrav> cablop, lol, i'm no where near knowing those
[02:38] <n-iCe> any way to broadcast from linux? a internet radio?
[02:38] <x0x> Benkinooby: yes the hdd0 using winxp the second i dont know if is important who is second and who first using ubuntu. now i want erase my winxp and transfer to the primary the ubuntu and give all space to them.. dunno if im making any mistake..
[02:38] <windyone> edbian  I dont get it how can I check something in terminal mode and then get back here
[02:38] <x0x> or i can keep it on the hd i have them now and make it primary or something dunno thats why im asking..
[02:38] <nucc1> windyone, you have to finish running the command before you log back in.
[02:39] <nucc1> windyone, unless you have two computers.
[02:39] <windyone> nucci how do I get back in
[02:39] <nucc1> alt+ctrl+f7 or f8 or f9 one of those
[02:39] <edbian> windyone, ctrl + alt + F1 to switch into terminal mode. ctrl + alt + F7 to switch back.
[02:39] <edbian> windyone, sorry I forgot that part :)
[02:39] <windyone> edbian   thx'
[02:39] <sparc> Our of curiosity, does anything happen with the archive mirrors on Fridays?
[02:40] <windyone> so what was it You want to check in terminal mode??  chmod??
[02:40] <edbian> windyone, haha, sure
[02:40] <sparc> I had an awful time, with the installer, failing to find packages
[02:40] <Benkinooby> x0x, there is no need to copy ubuntu fomr hdd1 to hdd0. just keep ubuntu the way it is and format hdd0 so that i can be used by ubuntu. there is no practical difference in having the OS at hdd0 or hdd1
[02:40] <edwardteach> n-iCe,  vlc can do it
[02:40] <edbian> windyone, the command is sudo chmod -R windyone /home/windyone
[02:40] <sparc> !bots
[02:40] <edbian> windyone, It gives you ownership of your home and everything in it
[02:40] <nucc1> edbian, you keep leaving out the group part.
[02:40] <windyone> edbian  ok hold on
[02:40] <sanal_madatheth>  hello all
[02:40] <sanal_madatheth>  when upgraded my virtual console font changes to Latin when left alt pressed
[02:41] <Benkinooby> x0x, the only thing you might have to consider is the booting progess. but i guess that you use grub to start windows too so everything should be fine
[02:41] <edbian> nucc1, who cares about the group part?
[02:41] <x0x> Benkinooby: thanks.. now second question. i have gived i remember 40gb on my ubuntu with gparted when i was installed them, how i can give them full space on the hd ?
[02:41] <sanal_madatheth>  really idont need that font in virtual console
[02:41] <nucc1> edbian, oh well.
[02:42] <x0x> Benkinooby: i have formated twice my hd and reinstalled grub, i dont want grub i dont want second OS i will install vmware.
[02:42] <sanal_madatheth> how to change virtual console font or remove one permanently?
[02:42] <edbian> nucc1, haha
[02:42] <windyone> edbian invalid mode windyone
[02:42] <edbian> windyone, what?
[02:42] <edbian> windyone, You typed it wrong I think

[02:43] <edbian> sudo chmod -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone
[02:43] <nofrillz> not edian
[02:43] <nucc1> edbian, it should be chown, not chmod
[02:43] <edbian> nofrillz, You talking to me?
[02:43] <edbian> nucc1, oh thanks
[02:43] <nofrillz> maybe
[02:43] <windyone> edbian  yea,,  I didnt see the   :   Ill try again
[02:43] <nofrillz> :P
[02:43] <edbian> windyone, stop
[02:43] <edbian> windyone, don't type anything
[02:43] <edbian> windyone, are you there?
[02:43] <nofrillz> inner spelling nazi coming out

[02:43] <edbian> paq7512, ha, no problem
[02:44] <nofrillz> my names debian
[02:44] <edbian> windyone, sudo chown -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone
[02:44] <Dakrav> cablop, i have to go, i'm sorry
[02:44] <Benkinooby> x0x, i understand that. the only thing i wanted to say, that in a very strange case the removal of windows might influence your ubuntu install. formating cna not be undone, so now mistakes are allowed. now, the best thing you can do is to use the gparted live cd. boot from that cd and you will be able to change the partitioning
[02:44] <cablop> Dakrav: same here
[02:44] <windyone> edbian   ok  i am going to try it now
[02:44] <edbian> nofrillz, ha, good one
[02:44] <Dakrav> sorry about htat
[02:44] <nofrillz> i sense sarcasm
[02:44] <nucc1> windyone, sudo chown windyone -R /home/windyone
[02:44] <nofrillz> 216 mb of updates to install
[02:45] <nofrillz> yay
[02:45] <edbian> nucc1, does it matter?
[02:45] <nofrillz> then i gotta verify a personal pgp key with launchpad
[02:45] <windyone> Im back.. and didnt try yet.. which one
[02:45] <nucc1> edbian, no idea, i just use one when changing ownership and the other when changing permissions
[02:45] <nucc1> edbian, your call
[02:46] <windyone> edbian ok to try your way?
[02:46] <x0x> Benkinooby: i have formated twice or 3 times the "windows" hd. i have know that trick with live CD with gparted, ill read some on ubuntu wiki so i will not do mistakes.
[02:46] <nofrillz> x0x what is your native language?
[02:46] <x0x> nofrillz: Albanian.
[02:46] <nofrillz> Cool
[02:46] <windyone> edbian  or nuccl??
[02:46] <x0x> i speak 4 langs :P
[02:46] <nofrillz> which ones?
[02:46] <nofrillz> besides eng and alb
[02:47] <x0x> Greek, Bulgarian, Italian
[02:47] <nofrillz> you speak greek?
[02:47] <x0x> yes..
[02:47] <edbian> windyone, ugh
[02:47] <nofrillz> holy shit
[02:47] <x0x> very well..
[02:47] <cablop> windyone: is the .gvfs file your unique error?
[02:47] <x0x> whois me.. i live to greece.
[02:47] <edbian> windyone, I'm typing this one last time ok.  sudo chown -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone

[02:47] <Benkinooby> x0x, ok, good luck. the gparted cd is not very big, so i can be downloaded fast. so the main message: no need to reinstall ubuntu. jsut leave it as it is, becuase it doesn't amtter on what hard disk it is
[02:48] <nofrillz> brb gotta reboot
[02:48] <mernilio> Not for you gay men.. only for Vindy! :-)

[02:48] <x0x> Benkinooby: thanks, i just need gparted cd right ? not ubuntu live ?
[02:48] <x0x> :P
[02:49] <x0x> nofrillz: that's why my write/pharsing is to bad :P
[02:49] <nucc1> ok, windyone, use this: sudo chown windyone -R /home/windyone
[02:49] <edbian> windyone, invalid mode?  I don't know what you're doing wrong
[02:49] <windyone> nuccl  that is the first one I tried and I got invalid mode windyone
[02:50] <m2mg> xOx yes just to format your HD but to instal you will need the Ubuntu cd or dvd
[02:50] <windyone> nuccl its  like its not there or something??
[02:50] <nucc1> windyone, "chown" not "chmod"
[02:50] <Benkinooby> x0x, gparted cd can only be used for making partitions. it can not be used for installing ubuntu. but because it is only for partitioning, it is small and faster than the ubuntu live cd. of course you can use the ubuntu live cd too, if you allready have one. i think the live cd has gparted on it
[02:50] <windyone> nuccl  i think i did but I will try again
[02:50] <x0x> yes it have :)
[02:50] <edbian> windyone, yes, chown NOT chmod
[02:51] <cablop> windyone: gvfs is a virtual file system... you'll have a bad time trying to modify it's permissions or the owner
[02:51] <edbian> cablop, what do you suggest for windyone's problem?
[02:52] <x0x> Benkinooby: so when i format the windows hd it will start on ubuntu right?.. also a guy gived me a code and my windows HD is automount and i can see all windows files can be that create an error when i format?
[02:52] <cablop> first he must check if it is getting mounted
[02:52] <windyone> nuccl cannot access /home/windyone/ .gvfs  permission denied
[02:52] <cablop> just mount at the terminal
[02:52] <edbian> windyone, I think nucc1 already knows that
[02:52] <nucc1> windyone, i said you have to log out.
[02:52] <cablop> mine says
[02:52] <m2mg> xOx no you will have to reinstall or repair the grub
[02:52] <cablop> gvfs-fuse-daemon on /data/home/cablop/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=cablop)
[02:53] <nucc1> windyone, its a 'one' not an 'l' in nucc1 :)
[02:53] <windyone> nuccl  i ctrl alt f1  then f7
[02:53] <m2mg> that is if the grub is on your xp drive
[02:53] <windyone> nucc1  oh god,,  sorry
[02:53] <nucc1> windyone, logout of your system right now, then alt+ctrl+f1, run the command, when it's done, then alt+ctrl+f7 and login
[02:54] <cablop> so, windyone  type "mount" in the terminal
[02:54] <windyone> nucc1  I have done this several times..
[02:54] <cablop> check if .gvfs is mounted ad its options
[02:54] <edbian> cablop, do you know what the problem is?
[02:54] <cablop> afaik, not even root is able to reach the gvfs of another user
[02:54] <nucc1> cablop, the rest of the files are working.
[02:54] <windyone> cablop  i will pastebin
[02:54] <nucc1> cablop, even .xsession-errors is unreadable
[02:54] <cablop> afaik he is unable to reach that file
[02:54] <nucc1> windyone, can you boot into recovery mode?
[02:55] <windyone>  cablop http://pastebin.com/FZFhsT40
[02:55] <cablop> ok, but, don't worry about the .gvfs, it is pretty normal you cannot access it with root
[02:55] <windyone> nucc1 http://pastebin.com/FZFhsT40
[02:55] <windyone> edbian http://pastebin.com/FZFhsT40
[02:55] <cablop> so don't waste time  with the .gvfs
[02:56] <sacarlson> Travis-42: seems my problem was cache that I clear with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589975 using sudo sync; sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches , not sure why virtualbox couldn't clear it and use it
[02:56] <windyone> nucc1 i dont know.. never tried
[02:56] <windyone> TRING to boot to recovery
[02:56] <Datz> Hi, I want to mv some folders back a directory, when I "mv -f * .."  it errors and says that it cannot move, Directory not empty how can I force it to overwrite?
[02:56] <cablop> windyone: are you able to reach any file?
[02:57] <nucc1> windyone, you are chatting from a different computer?
[02:57] <rusty149> Datz: mv -R . ..
[02:57] <Datz> thanks rusty149
[02:58] <cablop> windyone: what is your problem?
[02:58] <Datz> humm, says invalid option
[02:58] <nucc1> cablop, home folder says "not found" when he tries to open it.
[02:58] <windyone_> Gentlemen.. I am sorry for taking all this time from you..  I do not have windoze duel boot so therefore the computer boots directly to the ubuntu desktop.. I dont know how to go into recovery mode with no grub
[02:58] <rusty149> Datz: well replace . with the directories you want to mv
[02:59] <overdub> Datz, use find
[02:59] <QuikNik> hey guys, is there anything available for Ubuntu that emulates the media-server capabilities of something like Windows Home Server, Media centre etc ?
[02:59] <maco> windyone_: hold down shift to make grub's menu appear
[02:59] <Datz> I want to move all the folders back one folder mv -R * ..
[02:59] <chris2kn5> Datz: "man mv" and "mv --help" should explain everything. Manuals are quite useful tools. What are you trying to move? What files? Where to where?
[03:00] <cablop> windyone_: hold shift key after boot
[03:00] <m2mg> windyone u have a grub u just dont see it
[03:00] <rusty149> Datz: and file?
[03:00] <maco> QuikNik: could setup mythtv. it has all that plus DVR and movie theatre listings and bunches else
[03:00] <overdub> Datz, find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec mv {} .. \;
[03:00] <windyone_> ok all.. I boot "and" hold shift as it is booting??
[03:00] <chris2kn5> QuikNik: XBMC?
[03:00] <overdub> Datz, find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec mv {} .. \;
[03:00] <QuikNik> maco: so it does have media server capabilities too? and not just DVR ?
[03:00] <overdub> type d, not f
[03:00] <Datz> thanks overdub
[03:01] <rusty149> Datz: All the folders and files? then, mv -R ./ ../
[03:01] <windyone_> I am holding shift and no grub menu is coming up
[03:01] <QuikNik> chris2kn5, never heard of it... it's a media server too?
[03:01] <Datz> ah, ok thank, that's easier  :)
[03:01] <maco> QuikNik: yes, mythtv is a server-client system. ive only used it with a single machine, but it does allow you to install the mythtv client on one system and the server on another and just let them know each others' IP addresses
[03:01] <maco> Datz: XBMC = XBox Media Center
[03:01] <m2mg> windyone u have to have one or the computer will not boot
[03:02] <chris2kn5> QuikNik: Well, we're talking about linux. You can set up any unix machine to be a media server. XBMC is a quite nice media player.
[03:02] <nucc1> windyone_, in terminal, type 'sudo init 6'
[03:02] <cablop> windyone_: you have to hold one key at booting, you can also modify and rebuild the grub2
[03:02] <Datz> rusty149: I have no idea why I'm getting an error that -R is invalid option
[03:02] <cablop> let me remember if it is shift... now i'm in doubt
[03:02] <rusty149> Datz: Paste your command and the output
[03:03] <chris2kn5> rusty149, Datz: The "-R" does not exist for mv.
[03:03] <Datz> I'll try overdub's option :)
[03:03] <Datz> ok
[03:03] <overdub> find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name '.' -exec mv {} .. \;
[03:03] <overdub> that works
[03:04] <cablop> windyone_: yes it is to hold he shift key at boot
[03:04] <QuikNik> maco: thanks
[03:04] <rusty149> chris2kn5: Datz: Oh ofcoarse, sorry. It is just mv ./* ../
[03:04] <QuikNik> chris2kn5: cool, thanks man
[03:04] <cablop> but at the very very boot, just before your bios start loading the mbr
[03:05] <grandmaster> how do u open compizconfig?
[03:05] <Datz> rusty149, well I know the command, but it doesn't overwrite the preexisting folders
[03:05] <Datz> overdub: same as above problem with your command ^
[03:05] <ubuntuJ> Hey - I am trying to create a bootable cd for ubuntu from USB HDD using (mmunity/BootFromUSB) and having issue locating stage2_eltorito on ubuntu 10.10 live cd. Wondering if anyone can help me out?
[03:05] <xiven> What's the best free hosting management software for Ubuntu, which -does not- force encapsulation of site files such as XAMPP would?
[03:06] <Datz> overdub: http://pastebin.com/V7WGJKsY
[03:06] <rusty149> Datz: It should overwrite by default. What does it do instead?
[03:07] <Datz> see the above pastebin
[03:07] <Datz> same error
[03:07] <rusty149>  Datz: overdub: That find wont work because you are moving the current directory (which you are using) and not jusr the contents
[03:08] <Datz> ah
[03:08] <grandmaster> how do u open compizconfig?
[03:08] <rusty149> Datz: You said mv is not overwriting? What does it do instead?
[03:08] <grandmaster> i had it all set up and when i rebooted it went away
[03:08] <grandmaster> awesome
[03:08] <rusty149> Datz: Are you sure the names are the same?
[03:09] <Irreducibilis> How do you stop a network from auto-connecting once you've connected to it once?
[03:09] <Datz> did you look at the pastebin?
[03:09] <Datz> rusty149: ^
[03:09] <windyone> WOW  ok  it still didnt work.. This is what I did.  logged out restarted and held shift.  grub came up and I hit recovery mode and signed in.. then i did sudo chown -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone and restarted.. it still sayes "file not found" when I go to places home folder
[03:09] <Irreducibilis> Like, I want wlan0 to stop trying to connect to a certain SSID automatically
[03:09] <Datz> I guess I can manually delete the old dirs
[03:09] <LuciferDarkWatch> exit

[03:09] <aikuza> o
[03:09] <nucc1> windyone, the last trick in my bag. sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[03:10] <rusty149> Datz: Yes that does not have the mv command, mv ./* ../
[03:10] <overdub> Datz, you might be having an issue with the directory names starting with the # character
[03:10] <Datz> ..
[03:10] <nucc1> windyone, then log out and log back in.
[03:10] <windyone> nucc1 will that remove my pictures
[03:10] <Datz> overdub: ok, that's what I was thinking too
[03:10] <nucc1> windyone, it won't remove anything.
[03:10] <windyone> nucc1 ok Ill try it.
[03:11] <prezident> hello people i have a ubuntu that duel boots with windows 7 but my ubuntu is running on 29gb is their anyway i can expand this and lower my windows 7 without uninstalling

[03:12] <Datz> overdub: humm, same problem here though
[03:12] <ubuntuJ> I see the /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ folder, but it does not have stage2_eltorito to be able to copy to create bootable cd.
[03:12] <maco> prezident: you can boot from a live cd and use gparted to resize the partitions
[03:13] <rusty149> Datz: It is because of the contents of the dest folders
[03:13] <Datz> humm
[03:13] <prezident> ok i can't use gparted that can be downloaded from ubuntu software
[03:13] <prezident> ?
[03:13] <Irreducibilis> How do you stop a network from auto-connecting once you've connected to it once?
[03:13] <rusty149> Datz: Try rsync
[03:13] <Irreducibilis> Like, I want wlan0 to stop trying to connect to a certain SSID automatically
[03:13] <windyone> nucc1  it didnt work.. would it help if i told you the   /home partition may be its own partition???  I saw a utube about partitioning and tried it for the first time but I think I got into home before

[03:14] <sacarlson> ubuntuJ: there is a tool to create a bootable cd from an install called remastersys http://geekconnection.org/remastersys/
[03:14] <nucc1> windyone, yes, it would help to say how it happened
[03:14] <ubunturocks> hi friends
[03:14]  * Datz will look into rsync
[03:14] <nucc1> windyone, you tried partitioning while the system was running?
[03:14] <rusty149> Datz: Yes but I think rsync will work better for this. I can give you the command in a sec
[03:14] <windyone> nucc1 I have 3 seperate partitions..    swap   another one for the os and another one for /home
[03:15] <nucc1> windyone, your earlier pasts did not suggest that.
[03:15] <edwardteach> grandmaster,   it should be in you menu's perhaps prefferences!
[03:15] <grandmaster> i know but its not
[03:15] <nucc1> windyone, so what exactly happened?
[03:15] <windyone> nucc1 didnt think it needed to
[03:16] <windyone> nucc1 what do you mean what happened?   I set up the harddrive with 3 partitions and all was well
[03:16] <nucc1> windyone, yes, then you did what before the problem started?
[03:16] <windyone> nucc1 I think so anyway.. I am going to check gparted to see if it was in fact this comp
[03:17] <nucc1> windyone, don't mess with gparted
[03:17] <m2mg> prezident go here and  dl this small cd and u will be able to do just about any thing to your hd's http://www.sysresccd.org/
[03:17] <nucc1> windyone, did you try partitioning again after you installed?
[03:17] <overdub> Datz, what is it exactly that you're trying to do?
[03:17] <windyone> nucc1   nope..  that was on my desktop
[03:17] <rusty149> Datz: rsync -r --remove-source-files --delete ./ ../
[03:17] <windyone> this laptop has one large partition
[03:18] <nucc1> windyone, so do you recall what caused the error to start hapening?
[03:18] <Loshki> Datz: 'rm -rf this that theother' will do it. Just be sure you have it correct before you hit return since there's no undelete...
[03:18] <windyone> nucc1 false alarm...  the error started tonight..
[03:18] <edwardteach> grandmaster,   try typing  in a terminal compizconfig-settings-manager  it may start
[03:18] <windyone> nucc1 I clicked on places then home folder.. that was the start of it and it started tonight

[03:19] <rusty149> Datz: rsync should be faster if the folders are similar as well
[03:19] <grandmaster> is it going to stay on after i restart?
[03:19] <ericneu> I'm having a GRUB issue, can anyone help?
[03:20] <rams> i installed ubunut10.04 inside window, now when i start ubuntu it says "cannot find GRLDE in any drive" what shall i do?
[03:20] <rusty149> !details | ericneu
[03:20] <edwardteach> grandmaster,   did it start?
[03:20] <windyone> nucc1 I noticed when going into recovery that the system stated it didnt see some security precautions and I dont know what to do about that.. is it talking about clamav or something?
[03:20] <grandmaster> it wont start
[03:20] <windyone> nucc1 I dont rem the exact comment on the black screen
[03:20] <ubuntuJ> ericneu: Can't help but I'm having issues creating a grub bootable cd - related problem atleast ;/
[03:21] <nucc1> windyone, no, not clamav,
[03:21] <rams> i installed ubunut10.04 inside window, now when i start ubuntu it says "cannot find GRLDE in any drive" what shall i do?
[03:21] <windyone> nucc1 anyway, that is another issue.. I am concerned about getting into home for now
[03:21] <xangua> !repeat | rams
[03:21] <rusty149> ubuntuJ: GRUB doesn't boot cds, just use the BIOS option for that
[03:21] <edwardteach>  sudo apt-get  install compizconfig-settings-manager     may help
[03:21] <ericneu> I woke up to a blinking underbar, through multiple restarts. I realized GRUB must have gotten hosed. I tried using an SGD LiveCD to restore it, but that didn't work. I ended up installed a second copy of Ubuntu alongside my original.
[03:21] <nucc1> windyone, you could try the following: sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-desktop
[03:22] <windyone> nucc1 ok i will
[03:22] <nucc1> windyone, i strongly think it's a permission thing, or some messed up configuration, i just don't know how to get at it
[03:22] <rams> xangua, what is meant by !repeat?
[03:22] <nucc1> windyone, you should be running these commands in a VT (alt+ctrl+f1)
[03:23] <nucc1> windyone, especially since you have a second computer from which to chat
[03:23] <ericneu> That worked, but now I'd like to clean up my HDD and I can't re-expand my original install's partition. There is a non-movable "bios_grub" flagged 1 MiB partition in the way, which I'm assuming is where GRUB was reinstalled to.
[03:23] <m2mg> the command to start your CompizConfig Settings Manager is ccsm
[03:23] <infested999> What ever happened to xorg.conf? It is not in /etc/X11/ anymore, did it move?
[03:23] <rusty149> ericneu: Can you boot the original Ubuntu?
[03:23] <windyone> nucc1 oh.. I have been in reg terminal.. your past post didnt mention that
[03:23] <ericneu> Yes, I can boot both.
[03:23] <windyone> nucc1 Ill try it hold on
[03:23] <ubuntuJ> sacarlson - Thx for link. I don't want a full-backup of the install - just a cd that will allow my USB install to be bootable (which my bios won't handle by default). Would remastersys help with that?
[03:23] <ericneu> Well, technically, I can't boot both anymore. I just wiped the "second" install, as I can easily get into my original now.
[03:24] <rusty149> ericneu: Do you want to remove new one and resize original partition?
[03:24] <ericneu> (running from a LiveCD now)
[03:24] <nucc1> m2mg, ccsm
[03:24] <ericneu> Yes, but the GRUB partition is in the way.
[03:24] <m2mg> CompizConfig Settings Manager
[03:24] <rusty149> ericneu: OK mount the Ubuntu partition.
[03:24] <ericneu> original?
[03:24] <m2mg> it will start it
[03:25] <ubuntuJ> rusty149 - Not able to use my bios to boot to USB HDD. Docs on Ubuntu wiki lead me to believe a bootable cd with the linux kernel on it was next best option. Yes? No? Completely wrong?
[03:25] <rusty149> ericneu: Your Ubuntu partition
[03:25] <edwardteach> grandmaster,  sudo apt-get  install compizconfig-settings-manager     may help
[03:25] <ericneu> It is mounted
[03:25] <gQuigs> I'm trying to debug a crash that I get while playing Counter Strike Source, I'm trying to use linux-crashdump to do so.. it's not outputing anything in /var/crash in fact /var/crash doesn't even exist
[03:26] <rusty149> ubuntuJ: Yeah that should work. But you still need to change the bios boot order. Or press something like F12 to see boot options
[03:27] <gQuigs> the last line in kern.log is hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. , but I don't think I have an intel components in my pc
[03:27] <rusty149> ericneu: What is the mount path and the device i.e, /mnt and /dev/sda1??
[03:27] <edbian> cablop, did windyone get that issue fixed?
[03:28] <sacarlson> ubuntuJ: if you already have a bootable usb flash and your bios won't support boot from usb then you need to look at plop http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[03:28] <windyone> nucc1 I tried everything and I get permission error also.. I dont know what to do.. I can access my programs but not my home folder
[03:28] <ubuntuJ> bios boot order lets me boot from CD - which then loads rest of persistent install from usb hdd. But 10.10 does not seem to have stage2_eltorito to copy to the disk image. or atleast I can't find it.
[03:28] <ericneu> I've just mounted it to /tmp/ and the device is /dev/sda7
[03:28] <rusty149> ericneu: Run, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/tmp /dev/sda
[03:28] <nucc1> windyone, the programs aren't installed in the home folder, that's why.
[03:28] <ubuntuJ> sacarlson - Thanks. Not a bootable usb flash - a usb hdd.
[03:28] <windyone> nucc1 Thats right..
[03:28] <edbian> nucc1, windyone did we fix that issue?
[03:29] <nucc1> edbian, nope
[03:29] <sacarlson> ubuntuJ: yes it supports that too include pxe and boot support add and more
[03:29] <edbian> nucc1, what have we tried?
[03:29] <grandmaster> ok i got compizconfig to work but when i enable cube and rotate and hit the keys it goes between workspace 1 2 3 4 no cube?
[03:29] <rusty149> ubuntuJ: Sorry, what are you trying to do with GRUB then?
[03:29] <ericneu> Installation finished, no error reported!
[03:29] <windyone> nucc1 no.  places/homefolder   file not found
[03:29] <nucc1> edbian, booting into recovery mode and running the commands. successfully, apparently, but to no effect

[03:30] <nucc1> perhaps on irc.gimp.net
[03:30] <sacarlson> ubuntuJ: I assume it's a bootable usb hdd
[03:30] <ubuntuJ> rusty149: Following the wiki instructions that said to copy /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito
[03:30] <edbian> nucc1, worth a shot

[03:30] <nucc1> edbian, if you could guide windyone to do that... i gotta get some sleep now :)
[03:30] <jennifer> any suggestions?
[03:30] <ubuntuJ> sacarlson - I have that assumption as well. When I setup the partition for the install, it showed as bootable flag on.

[03:36] <jennifer> where do i create a folder in file system?
[03:36] <edbian> jennifer, do what rusty149 said
[03:36] <mauriciodev> Ok, i read in a forum (the 3rd possible solution) that to be able to install add-ons on ubuntu's firefox I had to change ipv6 value on the about:config to disabled.
[03:36] <jennifer> ok brb ill try
[03:36] <edbian> jennifer, doesn't really matter but /media is good.  Or you home
[03:36] <grandmaster> yes
[03:36] <mauriciodev> Pretty tricky if you ask me.
[03:36] <m2mg> did u also check the rotate cube?
[03:36] <grandmaster> yes
[03:37] <mauriciodev> How could a regular user install ubuntu and not be able to install firefox addons?
[03:37] <jennifer> jennifer is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[03:37] <jennifer> lol

[03:42] <jennifer> linux is hard since there is no c: to set files in
[03:42] <grandmaster> yes
[03:42] <sambagirl> i have a problem with my places location.   for some reason all of my normal places have been stored under bookmarks.  how can i restore them to their original layoue?
[03:42] <sambagirl> c:?
[03:42] <rusty149> jennifer: / (pronounced root) is the equivalent
[03:42] <sambagirl> what could have caused my dilema?
[03:42] <mister_m> is there a way to restrict the number of messages alpine grabs from a newsgroup to like the 500 newest?
[03:43] <edbian> jennifer, / is c
[03:43] <edwardteach> grandmaster, m2mg  compiz  usually  flags up when key bindings clash ! or am i mislead?
[03:43] <sambagirl> what is this linux elementary class?
[03:43] <jennifer> ok

[03:44] <mister_m> sambagirl, alt+f4 and don't come back
[03:44] <tensorpudding> !attitude
[03:44] <sambagirl> jennifer kma
[03:44] <xangua> sambagirl jennifer stop that
[03:45] <jennifer> yes sir!
[03:45] <lucas_> I am trying to boot a squashfs from usb-stick directly. Any suggestions for grub2 entries on the stick?
[03:45] <sambagirl> seveas are you here???
[03:45] <jennifer> everyone starts noob so whateva
[03:45] <m2mg> ok one thing have u restarted since u installed compiz and what type of video card do u have ATI or nvida
[03:46] <grandmaster> nivida
[03:46] <bastidrazor> !filesystem | jennifer ::check this page out it'll help:
[03:46] <sambagirl> well your the one who said you were a noob so i just reinforced the notion to satisfy your statement jennifer.
[03:46] <m2mg> one screen ?
[03:46] <mister_m> sambagirl, blah blah
[03:46] <jennifer> sambagirl, whateva
[03:46] <rusty149> lucas_: squashfs is the compresed filesystem. Not an OS. What are you trying to do/achieve?
[03:46] <m2mg> did u make your xconf?
[03:46] <sambagirl> what would cause the places locations to be moved to bookmarks?
[03:47] <m2mg> nvida drivers?
[03:47] <Rafa652> I think places and bookmarks are the same
[03:48] <rusty149> lucas_: So you can't boot the squashfs. If you want to access it you can unsquash it from an Ubuntu system
[03:48] <maco> sambagirl: open up nautilus. are they in teh bookmarks section in the left sidebar? if so, that. you can move them around
[03:48] <lucas_> rusty149: I made a remastersys backup of my install. Now it gives me the files to put on a bootable iso. Just thought if it were possible
[03:48] <m2mg> edwardteach no i dont think that is happening but it could be
[03:48] <bastidrazor> sambagirl: press F9 .. that'll bring the sidebar back
[03:49] <sambagirl> just a sec
[03:49] <sambagirl> thanks
[03:49] <rusty149> lucas_: OK, then I think you need to do growisofs and burn it. What are the foder names you have?
[03:49] <rusty149> lucas_: Do you have casper?
[03:50] <ShapeShifter499> hi      how do I have a command run as root right after I log in?
[03:50] <m2mg> grandmaster u still there??
[03:50] <x0x> i will use Gparted live CD to give more space to my ubuntu,, here at their site says "Editing partitions has the potential to cause LOSS of DATA. You are advised to BACKUP your DATA before using gparted."
[03:50] <x0x> can i loose my data using gparted?
[03:51] <gpc> x0x: yes, backup your data
[03:51] <m2mg> xOx yes back up your data before hand
[03:51] <x0x> gpc: how i can do that? :)
[03:51] <Ethine> x0x: Backup everything you love!
[03:51] <x0x> guys i will log into my ubuntu and ask you how to do it
[03:51] <x0x> :D
[03:51] <x0x> brb :D
[03:51] <sambagirl> umm i cant figure out what happened. do i need gksudo natulis to fix things back the way they were?
[03:51] <lucas_> rusty149: yes. the squash is inside the casper folder. there is also preseed and isolinux. Is it possible to do some loop mount in grub2?
[03:51] <gpc> x0x: backup to cd/dvd, another partition, online storage....
[03:52] <Ethine> x0x: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[03:52] <m2mg> boot and write cd's or use live and copy to usb or cd
[03:52] <edwardteach> ShapeShifter499,  sound like you need to run  a cron  job!
[03:52] <ShapeShifter499> edwardteach, how?
[03:52] <rattyz> I installed ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa but now I want to revert back to the official packages. I ran "sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers" but it will not revert any packages.
[03:52] <ShapeShifter499> edwardteach, never used cron before
[03:52] <rusty149> lucas_: Do you want to burn a cd now or create an iso or just browse the squashfs file??
[03:52] <earthling^> After installing compiz, its being used as the default window manager. I want to use metacity as default, but do not want to remove compiz. How can I set metacity as default?
[03:53] <edwardteach> ShapeShifter499,  what command you looking to run !
[03:53] <sambagirl> i wish i could determine what happened. here is a question. i have a product called journal that evidently reads the logs and keeps track of activites it should be listed in a log somewhere what occured maybe?
[03:53] <grandmaster> AAAAHHH how do u get the cube?
[03:53] <ShapeShifter499> edwardteach, I just want to run icecast and darkice
[03:53] <Moral_> Evening, I need some help, I cant get firefox to die.  Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 with VirtualBox 4. Have followed instructions as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/RDP Am I missing something obvious?
[03:55] <Roasted> tensorpudding, thanks, bro
[03:55] <maco> Moral_: i suspect it's pidof that's hanging
[03:56] <tensorpudding> for discussion of 11.04
[03:56] <Moral_>  20:56:01 up 23 min,  4 users,  load average: 22.28, 21.08, 14.49
[03:56] <lucas_> rusty149: I once created a custom iso and could boot from it using loopmount in grub2. I just dumped all the files on a ext4 partition on my usb drive and don't know how to set the correct root (btw, thanks for your link, it is very helpful)
[03:56] <Moral_> maco and other thing I can do?
[03:56] <Moral_> aside from reboot, ill do it if required.
[03:56] <gpc> with a load like that you need to reboot
[03:56] <MattyNZ> Hi :)
[03:56] <maco> yeah i think thats about it
[03:56] <sambagirl> moral_ i would reboot and the use chrome
[03:56] <edwardteach> !cron >  ShapeShifter499
[03:56] <Moral_> Lol, chrome
[03:56] <FloatingGoat> can someone help?
[03:56] <Moral_> Alright, reboot
[03:56] <Moral_> Thanks, boys/girls.
[03:56] <sambagirl> your welcome
[03:57] <Roasted> Does anybody know if it's possible to install the compiz plugin of "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" that comes with 11.04, but on 10.10?
[03:57] <bastidrazor> sambagirl: you're
[03:57] <edwardteach> !icecast  >  edwardteach
[03:57] <grandmaster> anybody good with compizconfig?
[03:57] <gpc> grandmaster: /join #compiz
[03:58] <sambagirl> i have compiz working most certainly
[03:58] <sambagirl> i can even rotate
[03:58] <rusty149> lucas_: So does it load as a Live image each time? And do you mean the root directory/environment or root user?
[03:58] <ShapeShifter499> edwardteach, and I can run commands as root?
[03:58] <sambagirl> i cant figure out how to make the globe or cube with the fish aquarium though.
[03:58] <jscn_> I'm assuming the problem is on the OS side since it doesn't seem to matter what authtype I set for the VM... Anyone?
[03:59] <edwardteach> ShapeShifter499,  yes
[03:59] <ShapeShifter499> edwardteach, hmmm  seems http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm    not active
[03:59] <FloatingGoat> my driver was in the jockey drivers list in 10.04 but now that I have installed (not upgraded) to 10.10 on the same computer it is no longer there. what do i do?
[03:59] <sambagirl> there must have been some kind of update that caused the places locations to be moved to bookmarks.
[03:59] <lucas_> rusty149: btw... I can't burn it to disk because the squash is bigger than 4GB. That's why I am trying to find this kind of solution
[04:00] <rattyz> I installed ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa but now I want to revert back to the official packages. I ran "sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers" but it will not revert any packages.
[04:00] <lucas_> rusty149: I don't know what to say for set root on grub2
[04:00] <rusty149> lucas_: I advise using usb disk creator
[04:00] <xangua> rattyz: sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
[04:00] <xangua> ......
[04:01] <FloatingGoat> my driver was in the drivers list in 10.04 but now that I have installed (not upgraded) to 10.10 on the same computer it is no longer there. what do i do?
[04:01] <rattyz> xangua: I'll try that.
[04:01] <rusty149> lucas_: It will then act in the same way a dvd would.
[04:01] <sacarlson> lucas_:  set isofile="/boot/isos/ubuntu.iso"
[04:02] <lucas_> sacarlson: couldn't even create the iso... squashfs is 4,5GB
[04:02] <maco> sambagirl: your places settings are stored per user. updates never touch user settings
[04:02] <edwardteach> ShapeShifter499,    : /   guess those gremlins are not just in here!
[04:02] <maco> sambagirl: and if it were an update's fault, don't you think it'd affect more than just you?
[04:03] <rusty149> lucas_: Just use Brasero to create a Data iso image.
[04:03] <sacarlson> lucas_: wrong file system?  can't make files that big?
[04:03] <Roasted> Does anybody know if it's possible to install the compiz plugin of "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" that comes with 11.04, but on 10.10?
[04:03] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello is there an irc channel for decibel audio player?
[04:03] <bastidrazor> sambagirl: bookmarks 'should' contain the content of Places.. you're not really giving enough detail to help.
[04:03] <sambagirl> maco i just said i didnt know what had occured and was just speculating on update only because i have had to support windows systems and networks and i know what happens with their updates. i didnt say it was the culprit and i am sure it would affect more than just me most certainly.
[04:04] <FloatingGoat> BRING IT ON HOME
[04:04] <cryptodira> what are my options for a hardware reporting tool on an amd64 system ... 10.04 ?
[04:04] <sambagirl> ok the drop down menu for places lists video music documents etc... well those 3 locations are now not listed in the dropdown but are now subsets under bookmarks.
[04:05] <sambagirl> and not just those 3 but all of the locations (folders/directories) are bookmarks now.
[04:05] <edwardteach> cryptodira,  have you a hardware isue ?
[04:05] <edwardteach> cryptodira,  issue ?
[04:05] <bastidrazor> sambagirl: post a screenshot.
[04:05] <sambagirl> ok
[04:06] <sambagirl> i am ashamed i dont know how to do a print screen
[04:06] <Captainkrtek> there is a built in screenshot tool
[04:06] <Captainkrtek> look in accessorites
[04:06] <Captainkrtek> accessories*
[04:07] <sambagirl> ok thanks
[04:07] <Captainkrtek> np
[04:07] <Cpt_Zyph> i dont get it window7 in virtualbox knows my battery levels but my normal install of ubuntu only says estimating.. whats wrong here?
[04:07] <FloatingGoat> how do i bring it on home in ubuntu?
[04:07] <FloatingGoat> thumbs up if you are using pidgin right now
[04:07] <Benkinooby> can someome recommend me an "application starter" like gnome-do, kupfer,... i saw that kupfer has 30MB dependencies... that's too much!
[04:07] <cryptodira> edwardteach, not specifically, tho, i do not believe i am getting the screen resolution that i could be
[04:08] <earthling^> how do I set metacity as default window manager, its set to compiz now?
[04:08] <bastidrazor> FloatingGoat: from what i've seen 10.10 dropped the ball with nvidia support. get the drive from the nvidia site and install
[04:08] <gsp2009> hello folks.
[04:08] <earthling^> hi
[04:08] <cryptodira> edwardteach, aside from the screen res, i am unable to make the microphone work, nor have a backlight on the keyboard beyond POST.
[04:08] <FloatingGoat> bastidrazor: ill try that home dawg. thanks. i must have asked like 4 times and you are the only onme that answered
[04:09] <edwardteach> cryptodira,  terminal     lshw
[04:09] <xangua> earthling^: run: metacity --replace
[04:09] <gsp2009> so, anyone have any issues with nautilus since the last update for 10.10?
[04:09] <sambagirl> for images do you use pastebin as well?
[04:09] <earthling^> xangua, I tried metacity --replace, but the windows were all messed up, no x to close
[04:09] <bastidrazor> !imagebin
[04:09] <ShapeShifter499> edwardteach,  still here?   is this good for a cron file?     http://pastebin.com/QWFNvtZw
[04:09] <rusty149> lucas_: Have you tried increasing the blocksize for squashfs. This will give slightly higher compression at the cost of compression time
[04:09] <earthling^> xangua, does it get fixed after reboot?
[04:09] <bastidrazor> FloatingGoat: its a group of volunteers.
[04:10] <rusty149> lucas_: It may fit on a dvd or the usb-creator option if not.
[04:11] <bastidrazor> earthling^: System > Preference > Appearance > Visual Effects > None   ..that will use metacity and will stick through reboots
[04:11] <earthling^> bastidrazor, yes, I already have none checked, it still loads up compiz after reboot
[04:11] <cryptodira> edwardteach, Thank You for the lshw command.... nice piece of kit that.
[04:12] <speedrunnerG55> hey guys
[04:13] <rollman> does ubuntu have a point and click OS builder like SuSe not that important but if so i'd like name of that package to download?
[04:13] <earthling^> hmm now no options are checked
[04:13] <m2mg> rollman u mean like suse studio ?
[04:14] <rollman> is that an Operating system builder?
[04:14] <lahwran> anyone know of a page that describes all the fields possible in a Packages.(gz|bz2) file in an apt repo?
[04:14] <gsp2009> when I try to browse my local network in with nautilus, it crashes. Can mount the share with programs like pyNeigbourhood thought. Anyone ever seen this? Seems like this was only since the last update.
[04:14] <grandmaster> can someone PLEASE help me with comizconfig?
[04:14] <earthling^> ok, now it seems to work, I'll see if it remembers it
[04:14] <goldpaper> Is there something like camfrog for ubuntu?
[04:14] <rollman> m2mg: sorry is that an operating system builder
[04:14] <sambagirl> http://imagebin.org/134079
[04:14] <earthling^> thanks bastidrazor, xangua
[04:15] <m2mg> yes for openSUSE but it will pull in some other packages
[04:15] <gsp2009> grandmaster.. what you need?
[04:15] <grandmaster> can i im u ?
[04:15] <ShapeShifter499> edwardteach,  I'm going to test this....   if it doesn't work I'll be back lolz
[04:15] <rww> lahwran: Is http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-controlfields.html#s-controlfieldslist what you're looking for?
[04:15] <ShapeShifter499> bye all
[04:15] <starkiller> bye
[04:15] <rollman> m2mg: is that available for ubuntu?
[04:15] <gsp2009> grandmaster: just post your question.. that way if I can't help, you won't have to type it again.
[04:16] <grandmaster> i installed compizconfig earlier got cube to work then it didnt then i got it to work again and rebooted and it didnt work
[04:16] <xangua> sambagirl: that happens when you put too many bookmarks
[04:16] <grandmaster> i am a total linux noob and this is literally my first day on ubuntu
[04:16] <sambagirl> xangua i see
[04:16] <grandmaster> now i have changed a bunch of stuff and i cant get it to work
[04:17] <m2mg> @rollman no i dont tnik so
[04:17] <gsp2009> grandmaster: well. it sounds like you are doing well then. did you install compiz config manager?
[04:17] <m2mg> think
[04:17] <grandmaster> yes
[04:17] <lahwran> rww: yes, thank you
[04:17] <edbian> grandmaster, it might be easier if you use simple-ccsm
[04:17] <sambagirl> xangua then in theory if i remove some of the book marks u.mmm..bookmarks for the browser of the operating system?
[04:17] <edbian> grandmaster, It's easier to figure out at first
[04:17] <grandmaster> i have both
[04:17] <gsp2009> grandmaster: I agree with edbian
[04:17] <sambagirl> where is the bookmarks folder path?
[04:17] <OptimaD> hey how do i list all usernames ?
[04:17] <OptimaD> in root shell
[04:17] <grandmaster> when i hit the buttons to cube it switches to workplace 1 2 3 4 no cube
[04:18] <edbian> OptimaD, installed on the system or logged in right now?
[04:18] <edbian> grandmaster, use simple-ccsm
[04:18] <bastidrazor> sambagirl: you can remove them in nautilus, simply right click and remove
[04:18] <gpc> grandmaster: compiz --replace
[04:18] <xiven> How large are the free UbuntuOne accounts?
[04:18] <sambagirl> i suppose i can live with it like this but i dont especially prefer it.
[04:18] <gpc> xiven: 2GB
[04:18] <grandmaster> what in the terminal?
[04:18] <OptimaD> edbian its my old linux box and im root in it right now but not sure what my login was so wanted to see my logins and then change my pass
[04:18] <xangua> xiven: 2gb i believe, you can pay for more
[04:19] <gpc> grandmaster: alt-F2
[04:19] <rollman> m2mg: k thx not that important just be nice to see as a package for ubuntu
[04:19] <sambagirl> bastidrazor if i do will they return to original locaion under places or will i need to do that as well to reinstall them there?
[04:19] <starkiller>  p2p in ubuntu?
[04:19] <OptimaD> edbian, i did passwd user but i get "unknown user" so is there a command to see a list of existing users?
[04:19] <grandmaster> now what
[04:19] <xiven> That is not within my budget right now, and 2GB is not sufficient for what I had in mind.
[04:19] <edbian> OptimaD, you can see all the users by looking at the /etc/passwd file.  cat /etc/passwd.  Keep in mind that many of them are added their for the system's use.  User added ones should be at the bottom
[04:19] <gpc> grandmaster: in the box type: compiz --replace
[04:19] <maco> sambagirl: once you get it below likw 5 or 6 bookmarks, they'll go back to normal
[04:19] <Roasted> Does anybody know if it's possible to install the compiz plugin of "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" that comes with 11.04, but on 10.10?
[04:20] <gsp2009> starkiller: what is your question?
[04:20] <m2mg> rollman take a look at it it might pull in the packages you need they have done alot with it
[04:20] <gpc> Roasted: I don't think so
[04:20] <grandmaster> ok it like blanked for a second
[04:20] <bastidrazor> sambagirl: they are only a symlink. the folder/file never left its original location
[04:20] <sambagirl> ok thanks. btw do they use growl in ubuntu like in osx?
[04:20] <gpc> Roasted: I believe there is a #ubuntu-unity
[04:20] <OptimaD> edbian i tried and found two usernames at bottom that are mine but if i do "password <user>" i get an error saying "unknown user <user>" ?
[04:20] <sambagirl> i see bastidrazor
[04:20] <maco> sambagirl: growl is only for osx
[04:20] <xangua> sambagirl: is called notify-osd
[04:20] <rww> gpc: "#ubuntu-unity: No such nick/channel" ;P
[04:20] <sambagirl> ahh i see
[04:20] <edbian> OptimaD, are you making a typo?
[04:20] <edbian> OptimaD, can you su into those users?
[04:20] <grandmaster> can i get it back to all of its defaults?
[04:20] <gpc> rww: thanks
[04:21]  * rww ponders alis output
[04:21] <rollman> m2mg: i will later im being lazy :P
[04:21] <gpc> rww: so where should people go to get unitied?
[04:21] <m2mg> lol ok
[04:21] <gpc> I mean unified
[04:21] <rww> gpc: I don't see a channel for it, and didn't last time I looked either :\
[04:21] <Roasted> gpc, nobody there. so. Im here. since its 10.10 related :)
[04:21] <rww> gpc: I think #ubuntu+1 has just been dealing with it.
[04:21] <sambagirl> i think iwill leave it like it is. i kinda like it.
[04:21] <OptimaD> edbian nvm it works, if i do cat /etc/passwd/ and then do passwd it works but before i tried doing passwd in root without doing cat and it didnt work... weird..?
[04:21] <gpc> Roasted: yeah like I said Unity in 10.10 is different from 11.04
[04:22] <rww> Roasted: Last I heard, Unity stuff was too hard to backport to 10.10, hence them not doing it.
[04:22] <edbian> OptimaD, very weird
