[07:41] <scientes_> well, that didn't meantion any of the features you get with COW
[07:43] <zykotick9> zfs is super cool (it's almost like Windows System Restore) but running it on gnu/linux is silly, it's run using FUSE (though there is some other option as well), but it can't be included in the linux kernel due to licensing (which is unfortunate) </OT file system wish>
[07:43] <scientes_> zykotick9, you like zfs, but not btrfs! wow
[07:43] <zykotick9> scientes_: it's super cool on the *bsd and opensolaris
[07:45] <enigma_> ls
[07:45] <enigma_> haha wrong window
[07:46] <diverdude> waxstone: i tried adding the nomodeset and press ctrl-X but same problem
[07:46] <diverdude> waxstone: when i enter that file again my changes are not there
[07:47] <waxstone> diverdude, ok 1 second
[07:48] <waxstone> diverdude, do you have a live cd?
[07:48] <SHOVELL> i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing?
[07:48] <zykotick9> diverdude: do you have an option for recovery?  does it work?  if so, edit /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub"
[07:48] <diverdude> waxstone: i can make one
[07:49] <diverdude> zykotick9: yeah i have that..moment ill try
[07:49] <waxstone> diverdude, it would help, then follow what zykotick9 said
[07:49] <waxstone> diverdude, make GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
[07:49] <zykotick9> waxstone: what i said WON'T work from a LiveCD/USB!
[07:50] <waxstone> zykotick9, you cant mount a drive from live cd?
[07:50] <zykotick9> waxstone: but chroot is required!
[07:50] <scientes_> zykotick9, actually it will if you properly chroot
[07:50] <scientes_> haha
[07:50] <waxstone> diverdude, are you comfortable with using the terminal?
[07:51] <scientes_> or you can also use grub-install --boot-directory however update-grub doesn't support that
[07:51] <scientes_> (however it should)
[07:51] <diverdude> zykotick9: /etc/default/grub is just an empty file?
[07:51] <zykotick9> diverdude: that's not the right /etc/defult/grub then!
[07:52] <scientes_> diverdude, you havn't chrooted then
[07:52] <waxstone> diverdude, definitely shouldnot be
[07:52] <waxstone> diverdude, how do you knwo it is empty?
[07:52] <justgreg> Searching for some help with gmount issue
[07:52] <Tanzink> Is 12.04 going to be a LTS ?
[07:52] <scientes_> what package have the "udevinfo" binary?
[07:52] <zykotick9> Tanzink: yes
[07:52] <zykotick9> Tanzink: #ubuntu+1 for discussion
[07:53] <scientes_> c-n-f doesn't seem to be working
[07:53] <diverdude> waxstone: well i do sudo emacs /etc/default/grub and nothing is in the file for me to edit
[07:53] <diverdude> ahh if i cat it, it has content
[07:53] <waxstone> diverdude, make GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
[07:53] <Tanzink> zykotick9: So there is absoulty no reason to install the LTS version if I'm going to do a fresh install it seems..
[07:53] <diverdude> waxstone: but why cant i edit it with emacs then
[07:54] <diverdude> ok...nano can do it
[07:54] <zykotick9> Tanzink: not sure what you meant.  BUT, no reason to install BETA unless you want to fight issues and report bugs.
[07:54] <SHOVELL> now i cant make new logical partitions
[07:54] <diverdude> hmm but no write permission even though i did sudo???
[07:54] <waxstone> diverdude, after edit, sudo update-grub
[07:55] <zykotick9> Tanzink: FYI 12.04 will be 5 years support desktop - that's crazy
[07:55] <Tanzink> zykotick9: nobody said anything about BETA software.  I said no reason to install the (stable) LTS version(s) of *buntu  seeing as the next release is going to want an update anyway (LTS -> LTS)
[07:55] <diverdude> waxstone: but i cannot edit it...it has read only
[07:55] <waxstone> diverdude, how did you get to the terminal?
[07:55] <zykotick9> Tanzink: sorry, i wasn't sure what you meant
[07:56] <diverdude> waxstone: in grub menu choose recovery mode
[07:56] <myndzi_> i'm having a heck of a time trying to get usb tethering working under ubuntu desktop? (11.10)
[07:57] <myndzi_> google seems to show that there may be specfic problems with the epic 4g
[07:57] <myndzi_> but i can barely manage to surf, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[07:57] <waxstone> Can he edit from recovery or only form a tty terminal
[07:58] <diverdude> waxstone: hmm also i cannot do sudo -s
[07:58] <waxstone> diverdude, I would exit recovery mode
[07:58] <diverdude> waxstone: it just remains in my bdi user shell
[07:59] <zykotick9> diverdude: is the filesystem read only (ro)?  type "mount" to check.
[07:59] <waxstone> diverdude, reboot , hold shift, highlight recovery,press e , edit kernal line replace recovery with text
[07:59] <waxstone> diverdude, u will get a terminal
[08:00] <diverdude> zykotick9: hmm it prints a lot of stuff when i try that...what wil indicate read only?
[08:00] <zykotick9> diverdude: ro on left side somewhere
[08:00] <zykotick9> diverdude: right side
[08:01] <zykotick9> diverdude: look for the / directory most likely
[08:01] <diverdude> zykotick9: it does say in the bottom: mount: warning: /etc/mtab is not writeable (e.g. read-only filesystem), ...
[08:02] <waxstone> mount
[08:02] <diverdude> ?
[08:02] <zykotick9> diverdude: i'm guessing your on a read only filesystem :(  might be possible to remount to read/write - but i'm not 100% sure how, so perhaps using the !grub chroot instructions is my "tried and tested" suggestion.
[08:03] <zykotick9> diverdude: from a livecd/usb i mean
[08:05] <SHOVELL> i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing?
[08:06] <diverdude> zykotick9: ahh i managed to make it writeable
[08:06] <zykotick9> diverdude: nice
[08:07] <waxstone> diverdude, what did you do?
[08:08] <diverdude> there was an option in that recovery mode that where i could remount with write permissions hehe
[08:09] <waxstone> nice
[08:09] <diverdude> now i tried changing that nomodeset and did sudo update-grub
[08:09] <diverdude> and now rebboting
[08:09] <marco82> how gnome shell without hardware accelerator?
[08:10] <diverdude> now it writes more stuff to the screen...but still just hangs at checking battery state :(
[08:10] <zykotick9> marco82: don't think it's possible, yet.  (there is a testing implementation in the wild i believe)
[08:11] <waxstone> diverdude, how many harddrives do you have?
[08:11] <diverdude> waxstone: just 1
[08:12] <marco82> ok tnk
[08:12] <waxstone> i have 1 more then I dk, get back to the grub menu and press e on the first option
[08:13] <zykotick9> diverdude: this is a portable i assume?  you might want to try noacpi and/or noapic but those are 100% shots in the dark - but might be interesting for testing purposes
[08:13] <diverdude> zykotick9: no...its the one thats built into my laptop
[08:14] <zykotick9> diverdude: by portable i meant netbook/laptop/etc
[08:14] <waxstone> file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash nomoderset --
[08:14] <waxstone> you kernal line should look as above
[08:14] <waxstone> nomodeset  sorry
[08:14] <zykotick9> waxstone: modeRset
[08:14] <diverdude> if its for any useful info for you it says Message: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[08:15] <waxstone> that is after  checking battery message?
[08:15] <diverdude> waxstone: before
[08:16] <diverdude> it also says could not get the system bus. Make sure the masse bus daemon is running
[08:16] <diverdude> masse=message
[08:17] <Mrokii> Hello. My computer behaves strange, in the way that it lowers brightness sometimes when I switch to TTYs (Ctrl-Alt-Fn) or sometimes even when I move or resize windows on the Gnome-desktop. A friend suggested to disable Xorg power management functions but didn't say how. Does anybody know where I can find them? I already disabled the power management function I can access via the Gnome (GUI) preferences.
[08:18] <waxstone> i dk what that means... diverdude
[08:18] <waxstone> diverdude, is this a new install?
[08:18] <zykotick9> Mrokii: is this an EEEpc?
[08:18] <diverdude> waxstone: no unfortunately....if it was i could just wipe the damn thing and reinstall
[08:19] <waxstone> sis you have a LAMP server or mysql on it?
[08:19] <waxstone> did*
[08:20] <hans_> hello, how can i arrange the icons on the dash bar in a certain order ?
[08:21] <waxstone> hans_, left and drap into place
[08:21] <metl_chic> ahhhh
[08:21] <waxstone> hans_, left click and drag
[08:21] <Mrokii> zykotick9: No, it's a regular tower.
[08:21] <zykotick9> Mrokii: ok, just checkin'
[08:22] <hans_> waxstone: thanks, but doesn't work
[08:22] <waxstone> hans_ unity?
[08:23] <love> dd
[08:23] <hans_> unity ?
[08:23] <waxstone> hans_, which desktop are you using?
[08:23] <zykotick9> ignore love
[08:24] <hans_> i just installed and use the desktop that comes up
[08:24] <love> what?
[08:24] <love> zykotick9: ?
[08:24] <dr_willis> click hold. drag drop i thought
[08:25] <waxstone> hans_, this dash you are talking about is a on the left hand side? applications one on top each other?
[08:25] <hans_> right
[08:25] <hans_> you'right, it's on the left
[08:25] <waxstone> hans_, left drag to the desktop(right) first dont drag down
[08:26] <scientes_> whats the status of systemd on ubuntu?
[08:26] <dr_willis> !info systemd
[08:26] <hans_> waxstone: it worked ! thank you very much
[08:26] <dr_willis> !find systemd
[08:26] <waxstone> hans_, no problem
[08:27] <scientes_> dr_willis, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd
[08:27] <gr33n7007h> What's better "Gnome\|KDE\|Fluxbox" ?
[08:27] <bluefrog> the one you like
[08:27] <dr_willis> gr33n7007h: use what you want
[08:28] <zykotick9> gr33n7007h: What's better "Green\Blue\Orange" ?
[08:28] <gr33n7007h> orange
[08:28] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  hot pink
[08:29] <scottz> the one you like
[08:29] <Multbrelch> Gnome of course
[08:29] <Multbrelch> :)
[08:29] <dr_willis> knomebox
[08:30] <gr33n7007h> Say a Live CD of your choice is Fluxbox, based on debian/ubuntu how can you change it to gnome/kde ?
[08:30] <zykotick9> gr33n7007h: only Ubuntu is supported in #ubuntu
[08:30] <dr_willis> gr33n7007h:  use a live cd that has what you want
[08:30] <theadmin> gr33n7007h: Try them all. Gnome is somewhat unnatural, it is hard to get used to. KDE is Windows-like. XFCE feels similar to Gnome2 (like the old, pre-Natty Ubuntu desktops). *box'es are pretty confusing at first, but WAY lightweight. LXDE is also Windows-like, but whereas KDE feels like, say, Windows 7 (with a load more features), LXDE feels like Windows 95 xD
[08:31] <bc81> hey there.  is there such thing as a 'universal' (cross compatible) filesystem that can accommodate files over 4 GiB? i'd use fat32 if not for the 4GB file-size limit.
[08:31] <theadmin> bc81: ntfs
[08:31] <bc81> theadmin: other than ntfs?  :)
[08:32] <gr33n7007h> Yes, but the live CD I want is Fluxbox which i dont really like, just wondering if I could change it to gnome
[08:32] <theadmin> bc81: None really
[08:32] <zykotick9> theadmin: that was pretty good overall, my personal preference would have tainted a few remarks
[08:32] <theadmin> gr33n7007h: You probably can, but none of the official Ubuntu CDs come with Flux
[08:32] <bc81> theadmin: ok, just wondering.  thanks
[08:32] <theadmin> zykotick9: What was pretty good?
[08:32] <zykotick9> theadmin: your DE/WM breakdown above
[08:33] <velko> gr33n7007h, yes and no. the cd contains the fluxbox files so it will install fluxbox. but after that you can install gnome/kde/xfce/lxde whatewer you like
[08:33] <theadmin> zykotick9: Ah lol, it's not exactly correct though
[08:33] <gr33n7007h> right ok so I can install Gnome
[08:34] <gr33n7007h> Let me just check in #debian one minute!
[08:43] <metl_chic> hey
[08:44] <velko> hey
[08:44] <theadmin> Hello, metl_chic and velko.
[08:45] <metl_chic> hey!
[08:46] <jsoft> How do I make sun-java6 the default java instead of the openjdk one?
[08:51] <waxstone> jsoft, this might help you http://microchip.wikidot.com/mplab:how-do-i-install-and-use-sun-java6-jre-instead-of-open
[08:51] <DocPlatypus> okay... is there a setting I can set somewhere that says I never, ever, ever want this multiarch junk on my system? that's twice I've had to clean up after Ubuntu's brain-dead upgrade procedure now.
[08:53] <velko> DocPlatypus, i don't think so. you can set packages to "hold" and this will keep them in the currently installed version. but you cannot set to hold packages which are not installed. besides multiarch seems to be the next big thing in debian so they are pushing actively in this direction
[08:54] <DocPlatypus> velko: I don't see what's so good about it. I've come dangerously close to hosing my system beyond repair because of it, because aptitude does not make it the least bit easy to see what's i386 and what's amd64
[08:55] <DocPlatypus> it just shows two of the same package. if I could hide all the i386 turds by default I wouldn't mind it as much, though I still strongly prefer all amd64 packages (unless I'm missing something regarding a reason why i386 packages *need* to be available)
[08:55] <auronandace> DocPlatypus: using skype or 32bit flash?
[08:55] <zykotick9> DocPlatypus: multiarch is very much still in development!  dpkg multiarch JUST entered debian upsteam a couple of weeks ago!  keep in mind dpkg is what apt-get actually uses to install stuff.
[08:56] <DocPlatypus> auronandace: no skype. I prefer the 64-bit flash, since I'm on a 64-bit system it just makes sense.
[08:56] <auronandace> DocPlatypus: or wine?
[08:56] <DocPlatypus> auronandace: the only wine I use here is the kind made from grapes. and technically I'm more of a bourbon man :-)
[08:56] <doris__> hello
[08:57] <auronandace> DocPlatypus: i can't think of much else that would need 32bit libs/compatibility
[08:57] <DocPlatypus> that's the whole reason I run GNU variants and free software... if I wanted to run Windows programs, I'd go buy a PC with Windows on it.
[08:57] <DocPlatypus> as it stands... I was burned horribly by Microsoft in 2000-2002. so I'm done with Windows.
[08:58] <[[thufir]]> how do you pipe dar to a CDRW?  I'm out of space.
[08:58] <SHOVELL> i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing?
[08:59] <DocPlatypus> [[thufir]]: I'd just delete something about 700 megs in size and/or use a USB thumb drive
[08:59] <DocPlatypus> I think technically you can pipe the output to wodim but it'll burn the raw data to the disc, not a nice CDRW you can just mount and view
[09:00] <[[thufir]]> I have 700 MB free, but need to back up ~20 GB onto disc.
[09:00] <[[thufir]]> I'll check out wodim
[09:00] <DocPlatypus> [[thufir]]: my 24-hour grocery store sells 16 GB thumb drives for under $25.
[09:01] <[[thufir]]> huh, that's a thought.
[09:01] <DocPlatypus> that's US$, not sure what country you're in
[09:01] <[[thufir]]> no, that's ok.  I would just probably do the morally questionable cc purchas and return, but...
[09:02] <[[thufir]]> or iPod type thing.  hmm.
[09:03] <airtonix> DocPlatypus: the real question is are they slow or fast usb thumb drives?
[09:03] <pjk11> hello
[09:03] <DocPlatypus> airtonix: any drive is fast enough if I'm just doing a one-shot backup. I tolerated USB 1.1 on my old machine for a good 2-3 years
[09:04] <syddraf> Does anyone know of a way to take 6 channels of audio in a video and compact it into 2 channel mp3?
[09:04] <DocPlatypus> I can't imagine anything equal or larger than 4 GB being that slow
[09:04]  * [[thufir]] agrees with DocPlatypus.
[09:05] <[[thufir]]> I really wanted to use up all the ancient CDR's I have, though.
[09:05] <airtonix> DocPlatypus: i have two sets of usb thumbdrives i happend use for liveusb installs, the cheaper ones are noticeably slower.. adding about extra 5mins installation per installation session
[09:08] <monser> hello all
[09:08] <monser> ubuntu boots very slow
[09:08] <monser> it hangs on ohci usb 1.1.
[09:08] <monser> how to fix that?
[09:08] <monser> I want like 3 min to start up
[09:08] <monser> 8wait
[09:08] <monser> *wait
[09:11] <velko> monser, do you have any usb devices plugged into the computer while it boots? you may try to booth without them and see if there is any difference
[09:13] <Ascavasaion> Hello.  I have just sent a file via bluetooth from a Windows XP machine to my Ubuntu machine.  However I have no idea where the file is now.  Can someone point me in the right direction to see where Ubuntu saved the file?
[09:13] <vser> is it possible to see inotify on the terminal
[09:14] <auronandace> Ascavasaion: check your home folder, i think there is a public folder
[09:15] <Ascavasaion> auronandace: No, it is not in my home Public folder.
[09:16] <monser> yes i do have
[09:16] <velko> Ascavasaion, isn't it better to right click the bluetooth icon and look up the preferences for the place it uses to store the files? i don't have bt on this computer so i cant click you trough
[09:16] <monser> its a external hard disk plugged with usb to ide/ sata cable
[09:16] <monser> if i remove it there is not difference
[09:16] <monser> I tried
[09:16] <monser> I mean if I unplug it
[09:17] <velko> monser, it sill hangs on "ohci usb 1.1"? why?
[09:17] <velko> monser, are your mouse, webcam, keyboard... connected via usb?
[09:18] <Akls> My system went crazy. All apps are giving errors like "failed to contact configuration server" and something about d-bus, how can I fix everything?
[09:18] <Ascavasaion> velko: That worked, thank you :)
[09:18] <monser> velko: no no such devices are connected
[09:18] <monser> is there a way to disble this ohci 1.1
[09:18] <monser> the usb are 2.0
[09:19] <pjk> hello
[09:19] <velko> monser, you can blacklist the driver in /etc/modporobe.d/
[09:20] <ws> where is the Debian package db (one retrived with dpkg -l) stored?
[09:21] <monser> how to modprobe.d is a directory
[09:21] <monser> how to blacklist it in a directory?
[09:21] <velko> ws, dpkg -l does not retrieve anythong
[09:21] <Daulity> i got a problem with flash and my usb headset, the sound is klicking even when the flash vid is pauzed, the odd thing is the clicking stops when i drag a random window of the flash vid or when i switch tabs in the browser anyone know tis problem?
[09:21] <velko> monser, you don't of course
[09:21] <velko> monser, you first find out the exact name of the dirver via "sudo lsmod | grep ohci"
[09:21] <monser> could you be more specific , please
[09:22] <ws> velko: the list of packages (binary or text) in a file?
[09:22] <cheater> what ever audio engine you are using, it has a priority comparable to flash, but flash is using up all cpu power
[09:22] <velko> monser, then you pick a file in this directory and look for a line starting with "blacklist" - duplicate it and replace the name of the driver with the one you found out before
[09:23] <cheater> velko: he has to copy the file to a new name before doing that.
[09:23] <velko> cheako, i don't understand what do you mean?
[09:23] <velko> cheako, sorry
[09:24] <cheater> he shouldn't be editing files that are already there.
[09:24] <velko> cheater, i don't understand what do you mean?
[09:24] <velko> cheater, why not?
[09:24] <monser> that command does not show the driver
[09:24] <cheater> because it is bad practice.
[09:25] <monser> only these ohci1394     ieee1394
[09:25] <velko> monser, the ones containing ohci in the name will do
[09:25] <velko> monser, just mark their names and blacklist them
[09:26] <velko> monser, i don't know about ieee1394. don't blacklist it
[09:28] <Daulity> anyone?
[09:28] <Haferstroh> Hello, does anyone knows if there exists a ppa for nautilus ?
[09:30] <velko> ws, i don't know about which file you are talking. but it might help to lookup the files in /var/lib/dpkg
[09:30] <KaizerSoze_> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa
[09:30] <KaizerSoze_> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:30] <KaizerSoze_> nautilus -q #restarts nautilus
[09:31] <peterrooney> ws, dpkg -L
[09:32] <oCean> Haferstroh: please not that PPA's are 3rd party repositories and not supported!
[09:32] <KaizerSoze_> true
[09:34] <Haferstroh> oCean,  is noted, but I got two really annoying bugs (I suppose these are bugs). First I cannot use the "send to" Dialog in nautilus e.g. if I want to send a file directly to evolution. Second is: if I plug in a USB device and open it in nautilus and while the window is open I unmount the device, nautilus shuts down
[09:35] <iceroot> !bug | Haferstroh
[09:36] <Haferstroh> iceroot, ubottu  I acutally did send it via launchpad. But maybe in a newer Version of nautilus these Problems are fixed.
[09:37] <iceroot> Haferstroh: then you will get an info on that bug
[09:37] <iceroot> Haferstroh: but its great that you filled the bugs, its always the best way to report issues and to get things fixed
[09:38] <Haferstroh> iceroot is there a "last version" ppa of nautilus or not ?
[09:39] <iceroot> Haferstroh: no
[09:39] <Haferstroh> okay
[09:39] <iceroot> Haferstroh: you could have a look at 12.04 if it is fixed there
[09:40] <iceroot> Haferstroh: or ask in #ubuntu+1 if someone can reproduce your bugs on 12.04
[09:40] <almoxarife> Haferstroh: I don't think a ppa version of nautilus would correct your issues
[09:40] <Haferstroh> iceroot I'll check it out via VBox. I am using gnome-shell maybe its a gnome3 issue ?
[09:40] <iceroot> Haferstroh: but installing newer main-components is not a good idea in an older system
[09:40] <almoxarife> Haferstroh: have you ran nautilus from terminal to see the what's what or looked at the logs?
[09:41] <Haferstroh> I dont think, that my hardware it that old
[09:41] <iceroot> Haferstroh: the vm solution is a good idea
[09:41] <iceroot> Haferstroh: older system = older ubuntu release
[09:41] <iceroot> Haferstroh: not related to hardware
[09:41] <Haferstroh> the terminal gives no output after nautilus closes down
[09:41] <RocheLimit> Duality, Flash is a general PITA as well as the the linux audio system. Have you got the most recent Flash version?
[09:41] <Haferstroh> iceroot, okay
[09:42] <Daulity> yes
[09:42] <almoxarife> Haferstroh: the logs show anything?
[09:42] <Haferstroh> where do I find the nautilus log file ? Somewhere in /var .. ?
[09:42] <ubuntu> ok how do i display model and serial number of computer with ubuntu terminal
[09:42] <iceroot> Haferstroh: maybe /var/log/syslog
[09:43] <almoxarife> Haferstroh: I would look in /var/log/syslog and kern.log
[09:43] <iceroot> Haferstroh: if you are still facing the bug on 12.04 you should mention that on the bug, normally that will only be fixed for 12.04 and not older versions
[09:43] <monser> how to navigate in a taskel.how to check what to be install?
[09:44] <monser> i see a * which indicates what you want to be installed but how to uncheck
[09:44] <wylde> monser: space bar
[09:45] <ubuntu> ok how do i display model and serial number of computer with ubuntu terminal
[09:45] <monser> ok thank you.This should be written on the screen.it is vital
[09:46] <oCean> ubuntu: dmidecode (commandline) will give you lots of information
[09:47] <monser> Do you a a tutorial how to use apptitude in its terminal gui?
[09:47] <Haferstroh> https://launchpad.net/nautilus/+series shows as last version 3.0.2 . But nautilus --version shows GNOME nautilus 3.2.1
[09:47] <ubuntu> you mean type dmidecode in the terminal
[09:47] <monser> same question, how to navigate uncheck and so on?
[09:47] <wylde> ubuntu: you can try sudo lshw
[09:47] <oCean> ubuntu: yes
[09:48] <iceroot> monser: what software you want to install?
[09:48] <iceroot> monser: lamp?

[09:56] <acroyear2> Hey all, I set a line in etc/network/interfaces to: iface eth0 inet static as it was previously dynamic and the IP kept changing. I also set the fixed IP and netmask. But now I can't seem to communicate with the outside world - stuff like wget no longer works. Am I missing something?
[09:56] <monser> how to find out what aptitude is installing
[09:56] <oCean> cnttucme: ^that's a little bit outdated, but still useful. Obviously there are 1000s of books on linux in general
[09:56] <cnttucme> I was hoping for a book recommendation but ill check that out. Was hoping to learn more about command line.
[09:56] <monser> it is doing it at the background
[09:57] <monser> all i see is icon telling package manager is working
[09:57] <acroyear2> Would I need to set default gateway as well?
[09:57] <peterrooney> cnttucme: join #bash, and read the docs they suggest in the topic.  and watch.
[09:58] <cnttucme> Sounds good
[09:58] <monser> how to uninstall all packages from the gui? and leave the system with cli
[09:58] <cnttucme> Thanks sir.
[09:58] <RocheLimit> Duality, I don't know your specific problem, but you could try playing with the audio setings, reduce the system volume below max, see if there are conflicting audio inputs perhaps.
[09:58] <wylde> acroyear2: if you set a static ip yeas, because dhcp is no longer setting that for you
[09:58] <monser> how to stop networking manager deleting /etc/resolf.conf
[09:58] <acroyear2> wylde: Gotcha, that seems to have fixed it, thankyou
[09:58] <monser> i want to have my own dns server
[09:59] <cnttucme> rfkill?
[09:59] <monser> every time network-manager sets it own
[09:59] <monser> and deletes nameserver i have put in that file
[10:00] <monser> i killed that aptitude
[10:00] <monser> now i do nto know what has been installed and what not
[10:01] <onoez_omg> i need to run two instances of hostapd daemon in order to have two access points on two different interfaces, but is there any proper way to specify both configuration files in /etc/default/hostapd so it could be started over init.d script?
[10:02] <onoez_omg> thanks and soz for my english (if matters)

[10:02] <AminosAmigos> hell
[10:02] <AminosAmigos> o
[10:03] <monser> wylde: how to stop network manager messing with my settings in resolf.conf
[10:04] <zykotick9> monser: either A) set your DNS in N-M or B) stop using N-M
[10:04] <wylde> monser: no idea, and I'm not sure you should be arbitrarily playing with thing you don't know how to fix.
[10:05] <wylde> things*
[10:05] <monser> well how to learn if  you do not mess arround
[10:05] <monser> ?
[10:05] <wylde> monser: research?
[10:05] <monser> i can nto stop using n-m because i need it for wifi
[10:05] <monser> but i do not need it for wired
[10:05] <wylde> monser: google, Ubuntu forums etc
[10:06] <monser> research can not get you where experience can
[10:07] <wylde> monser: if you say so...
[10:10] <monser> that aptitude deleted everything
[10:10] <dr_willis> network manager has settings to set the dns i recall
[10:10] <damo22> what ever happened to console control of wifi
[10:10] <damo22> without n-m
[10:10] <dr_willis> damo22:  its doable
[10:11] <damo22> iwconfig and iwpriv etc
[10:12] <Kazzykid> Hey, could someone help me disable the desktop? Ubuntu noob here

[10:15] <krnl> hi. i can see in auth.log, that someone tries to login to the server, and use different usernames in every sec. he's bruteforcing the server with usernames. is there any program that can check it the auth log or somewhere else if an IP has several login failes, and blocks that IP automatically?
[10:17] <onoez_omg> krnl, seems like portsentry
[10:17] <monser> how to remove all the gui xorg and everything
[10:17] <monser> and leave the system with cli
[10:17] <zykotick9> damo22: the best console-only option for wireless i've found is wicd-curses
[10:17] <onoez_omg> apt-get purge xorg* or something like that i suppose
[10:18] <monser> ok
[10:20] <dr_willis> tight on space?
[10:21] <zykotick9> monser: you shouldn't remove "xorg and everything", reinstall with the mini iso, then add what you need.
[10:21] <krnl> onoez_omg: but portsentry only checks for portscans, isnit? how about checking if someone continuously connecting to port 22 where sshd already listening?
[10:22] <monser> ok i do nto have a terminal anymore
[10:22] <monser> how to leave the gui and get to the terminal?
[10:22] <monser> ctrl shift f1 does not help
[10:22] <dr_willis> krnl there are tools that can auto ban those ips. vua iptables
[10:23] <krnl> dr_willis: im looking for a tool like this. can u suggest pkg name?
[10:23] <dr_willis> monser:  the console .alt ctrl f1
[10:23] <dr_willis> !info fail2ban
[10:24] <dr_willis> i think theres another similer to fail2ban

[10:29] <onoez_omg> krnl, fail2ban
[10:29] <cnttucme> "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" is how i installed it. In case anyone else was having trouble.
[10:29] <krnl> onoez_omg: yeah dr_willis already mentioned, thnx, i installed and it works! :)

[10:35] <Mikero> cancer: I'm not an advanced user, so I just installed it through Ubuntu Software Center. Seems to work.
[10:35] <ROBOT1024> cancer: i think vbox is better,wine is too much trouble
[10:35] <Mikero> ROBOT1024: But vbox is useless with heavy software and games.
[10:35] <cancer> Robot1024: 'sudo apt-get install vbox' < will this work?
[10:36] <dr_willis> !vbox
[10:36] <cnttucme> sudo apt-get install wine
[10:36] <cnttucme> then hit Y and enter

[10:49] <kvartz> 0/ hello every1
[10:50] <Spyro2> is there another way to copy s(ome)th(ing) and also delete the extraneous files on the destination other than rsync
[10:51] <kvartz> guys what is bonjour capable chat client for ubuntu?)
[10:51] <RocheLimit> Spyro2, what have you got against rsync if it does what you want?
[10:51] <ExtremeDevilz> Hello
[10:52] <Spyro2> RocheLimit, i'm trying to cp a filesystem over but i cannot chroot into it( there is no such file (/bin/bash) )
[10:53] <Spyro2> i used rsync --acls --delete --devices --executability --group --hard-links --human-readable --itemize-changes --owner --perms --progress --recursive --specials --times --xattrs --checksum
[10:53] <Spyro2> and --delete
[10:56] <RocheLimit> Did you run rsync as root? Is it a permissions problem?
[10:56] <Spyro2> as root
[10:56] <Spyro2> yes
[10:57] <Spyro2> sth i done wrong < tar cp | tar xp -C destination , and chroot workd
[10:58] <RocheLimit> Did you get errors during the rsync?

[11:02] <kubuntu> Hello! How can I have a fixed IP assigned to my system connected to a network. I get <IP_ADDRESS> sometimes and at other times <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:03] <damo22> kubuntu: manual assignment
[11:03] <kubuntu> damo22: Yes, where exactly?
[11:03] <damo22> kubuntu, network manager?
[11:04] <damo22> kubuntu, might be another way, use your router to assign a fixed address per mac address
[11:04] <kubuntu> damo22: I went there. Where under NM>manual> ipv4 config ?
[11:04] <kubuntu> damo22: Yes, that works good. But there used to be system way as well
[11:05] <damo22> kubuntu, i dont know the gui way only console way
[11:05] <RocheLimit> System settings -> -> Network connections, select wired or wireless, then edit the connection.
[11:06] <cheater> does ubuntu have anything like /etc/profile.d ? that is, a directory where you put shell files and they get sourced when you start an interactive shell session?
[11:06] <kubuntu> damo22: Yes, what's the console way?
[11:07] <damo22> kubuntu, last time i did it i used /etc/network/interfaces and put in a static ip
[11:07] <kubuntu> damo22: Ah, ok
[11:07] <cheater> oh, it's still /etc/profile.d. ok.
[11:07] <cheater> thanks.
[11:07] <ssiie> if i dont want to use network manager what can i use to start my usb 3g connection ?
[11:10] <sacarlson> ssiie: I assume you could use a console to connect, but I'm not sure what your 3g connection looks like
[11:11] <tomodo> if I have a .deb file, can I install that?
[11:11] <klawd> how can i prevent ubuntu from overwriting my motd?
[11:12] <sacarlson> tomodo:  if it finds the dependancies you can just double click in nautilus to try to install it
[11:12] <Spyro2> tomodo, run gdebi or double-click it
[11:12] <kubuntu> damo22: Adding this line - etho <IP_ADDRESS> - will help?
[11:13] <kubuntu> eth0/eth*
[11:13] <sacarlson> klawd: what's a motd?
[11:13] <damo22> kubuntu, its not as simple as that, man interfaces
[11:13] <robin0800> ssiie: you can use wvdial cli or gnome ppp gui
[11:13] <Spyro2> ssiie, or wicd
[11:14] <wunnle> hello
[11:15] <tomodo> thanks!
[11:16] <monser> hello
[11:16] <wunnle> my unitys keeps crashing when i press alt-tab. i can re-run unity by dropping the console, but it started to get annoying.
[11:16] <monser> how to switch back from the console to the gui
[11:16] <monser> alt+shift+f1 takes you to the console
[11:16] <monser> how to go back?
[11:16] <wunnle> ctrl + alt + f7
[11:17] <RocheLimit> klawd: have you tried update-motd?

[11:25] <ssta> if it were me, I'd try #android (just a wild guess)
[11:26] <monser> if I change the permissions of resolv.conf would that disable network manager to deletes my nameserver ?
[11:26] <spyros> actually no,
[11:27] <rootcoma> for me, I put a lock on the file
[11:27] <spyros> how?
[11:27] <rootcoma> Let me reference. One moment
[11:27] <spyros> thnx
[11:29] <rootcoma> http://forums.vpslink.com/ubuntu/200-howto-howto-lock-resolv-conf.html well actually this looks like a better fix
[11:29] <rootcoma> actually.. Let me find my old solution
[11:31] <rootcoma> sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
[11:34] <wunnle> anyone knows anything about alt+tab unity crash?
[11:36] <rootcoma> I have used "sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf" on 3-4 ubuntu machines, and have never had a problem. You just have to remember to "sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf" before you can edit it again
[11:41] <dr_willis> hmm. I just use network manager to set my dns servers..
[11:43] <ssta> there's always more than one way to do it....I disable network manager except on laptops
[11:45] <kiran> hai
[11:45] <Guest48957> ok

[11:48] <dr_willis> !support
[11:48] <Daughain> Anyone help me with mtab?
[11:48] <dr_willis> Daughain,  give details of what you are wanting to do.
[11:49] <Daughain> I wantn to get the system to stop mounting the first usb drive I plug in at /
[11:50] <dr_willis> at / ? / is the root of your installed system.
[11:50] <dr_willis> a usb drive should get mounted to some /media/nameornumber
[11:50] <Daughain> I know, and thats where its ounting it. Have a line in mtab telling it to.
[11:51] <dr_willis> I dont even see how thats possible.  its fstab that tells where things mount  also..
[11:51] <Daughain> fstab has a line that tells it to miount at root also.
[11:51] <dr_willis> when you boot the system / is mounted allready. Plugging in a usb shouldent be remounting  / to it. that would mostliuley crash the system  idmeiatly
[11:52] <Daughain> I dunno, thats why I came here.
[11:52] <dr_willis> perhaps a  clean reboot and a pastebin of your /etc/fstab /etc/mtab and mount command output
[11:53] <Veovis_Muaddib> When setting up an SMB share, as secured here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html I am unable to login from Windows 7.  I am given a login prompt that asks for a login, if I use my credentials it defaults to using WINDOWS\user and the login fails.  I've tried SERVER\user and that also fails.
[11:53] <Daughain> Rebooted three times in the last 30 min.
[11:54] <dr_willis> then pastebin the same files/info after inserting a usb.
[11:54] <Daughain> Lemme reboit again, gonna try another e3dit.
[11:59] <daughain> Ok, that solved it.
[11:59] <samuel> hola?
[12:00] <sacarlson> Veovis_Muaddib: I guess removing security is not an option?  maybe replace with only allow certain ip addresses to access fileshareing
[12:01] <daughain> /dev/sdb1       /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1     That line was in fstab, and was causing all my issues.
[12:02] <sacarlson> Veovis_Muaddib: I was surprized to even get file shareing working at all with window 7 about a week ago (no security)
[12:02] <geirha> daughain: That's why you always use UUID or LABEL
[12:02] <Veovis_Muaddib> sacarlson: Yeah, removing is not going to fly.  :P  It's not meant to dissuade someone cracking in, just make sure users can't read each other's documents
[12:02] <Veovis_Muaddib> sacarlson: Yeah.
[12:03] <dr_willis> why would you even be editing the / entry in your fstab?
[12:03] <daughain> geirha, Errr....That has been there since I installed. That came from the mint install I did.
[12:03] <Veovis_Muaddib> sacarlson: I can get it working fine with no security, but usually I have trouble with securing it.  I got it to work a few months ago and was bragging to other techies I know :P  But set up a new server and now it doesn't work
[12:03] <dr_willis> last i used mint - it used uuid type nameing in the fstab.

[12:04] <daughain> Dunno. Did a fresh i8nstall on a newly formatted drive using mint. Thats been there the whole time.
[12:04] <sacarlson> Veovis_Muaddib: how about file share over ssh , that should also work on windows 7, maybe easier to setup security with thta
[12:04] <theadmin> dr_willis: uuid looks ugly though, I want my fstab to look cute so I use labels. That's just me, there might be other cases.
[12:04] <dr_willis> determind the UUID of / and put it in there... if you are using mint, you should be asking for help in the mint channels.
[12:04] <dr_willis> theadmin,  I change my uuids :)
[12:05] <theadmin> dr_willis: You can change them?
[12:05] <daughain> Im not, upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10
[12:05] <dr_willis> theadmin,  tune2fs command can change them i recall.
[12:05] <Veovis_Muaddib> sacarlson: Yes, certainly.  But XBMC media shares need to be accessable and I don't think XBMC works with sftp or anything like that
[12:05] <theadmin> dr_willis: Oh... wow.
[12:05] <dr_willis> daughain,  you upgraded to 11.10 FROM mint?
[12:05] <daughain> Thats what it said.
[12:05] <dr_willis> daughain,  im suprised that worked at all.
[12:05] <Veovis_Muaddib> dr_willis: Learn something new every day :P  Thanks
[12:06] <dr_willis> daughain,  it may be worth the while to do a clean install of 11.10
[12:06] <daughain> No clue, dr_willis , it offered the upgrade and I took it.
[12:06] <dr_willis> i would find it weird that mint would upgrade you to ubuntu...
[12:06] <Veovis_Muaddib> daughain: That sounds terrifying.  I'd clean install now personally.
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> Veovis_Muaddib  clean install is easier and more efficient if you have a separate /home partition
[12:07] <dr_willis> Many of the ubuntu-spinoffs have big warnings on their web pages about NOT using the upgrade features to upgrade to the latest ubuntu. but wait for them to come out with their own upgrade path.
[12:07]  * daughain shrugs
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> wrong nick
[12:07] <dr_willis> daughain,  what does your lsb_release -a say?
[12:08] <MonkeyDust> daughain   clean install is easier and more efficient if you have a separate /home partition
[12:08] <daughain> My issue is solved, so Im happy.
[12:08] <dr_willis> daughain,  id bet theres going to be many other issues in your future
[12:08] <preetam> hi my webcam freezes in ubuntu 11.10 while doing video chat..I have nvdia video card
[12:09] <daughain> dr_willis, I doubt it, thisi8s my wifes netbook, I just needed it to automount usb sticks.
[12:09] <Sluagh> monkey_dust does using a /home partition with both, say, ubuntu and mint, cause no problems concerning the config files?
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> Sluagh  yes, guess so
[12:11] <dr_willis> Sluagh,  shareing the same home dir/user btween disrtos can cause issues.  you could set up each disrto to use its own sub dir on the same partition to keep things more seperate
[12:11] <Sluagh> monkeydust so maybe using an extra partition for data files that you can even use with windows too would be better, so that you keep home directories for every distro you use?
[12:12] <daughain> lsb_release says Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric
[12:12] <dr_willis> daughain,  consider yourself lucky the system even booted after upgrading from mint to ubuntu.
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> Sluagh  that would be media files, then, i can think of no other
[12:13] <Sluagh> monkey dust ok, but do i understand you right that using extra a seperated /home partition is useful if you upgrade or repair the system on root from time to time?
[12:13] <daughain> Least its working now
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> Sluagh  yes, it's what i do
[12:14] <Sluagh> monkeydust i will try that. thank you!
[12:17] <Forever1> HI everyone
[12:23] <preetam> please help me my webcam freezes in ubuntu 11.10 while going google video chat
[12:24] <gagan662> preetam: hey..
[12:24] <danny> hey
[12:24] <Veovis_Muaddib> I uncommented the default homes share and enabled browseable, which lets me access the server, but I can see no shares and don't know how to tell Windows 7 my credentials now.
[12:24] <preetam> yes gagan662: can u please help me in fixing the problem
[12:24] <danny> where are you from.qaqan
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> !ot| danny
[12:25] <zykotick9> dr_willis: any system that went from mint->ubuntu is a franken system and is unmaintainable
[12:25] <gagan662> danny: Kaneda...;)
[12:25] <danny> whait's the mater ?/
[12:25] <danny> oh ,year
[12:25] <danny> I'M from china

[12:26] <theadmin> gagan662: You, too.
[12:26] <gagan662> oops
[12:26] <LjL> gagan662: that wasn't funny
[12:26] <gagan662> sorry

[12:27] <bazhang> gagan662, lets move on
[12:27] <Veovis_Muaddib> back on topic: Who here is up to the challenge of troubleshooting SMB shares?
[12:28] <dragongirl1>  /bar scroll nicklist * +100%
[12:28] <Veovis_Muaddib> I'm trying to set up user authentication as per the Ubuntu guide.  When browseable is turned off on a share, I am unable to login from a Windows 7 box, and given a login prompt that doesn't work.  When I turned browsable on because I had forgotten to uncomment it, I can access the server but cannot see any shares.
[12:34] <jadoe> I get 25% cpu usage from nautilus (on a 4 core cpu). bug?
[12:36] <ronghail> how do you start sshd?
[12:37] <sp4z> hi, anyone know an app like htop but for network traffic/connections that runs from cli?
[12:37] <psycho_oreos> iftop?
[12:37] <muelli> ronghail: sudo service sshd start
[12:38] <Whiskey> how do i get terminal to shoq åäö
[12:38] <sp4z> psycho_oreos: thanks thats perfect
[12:38] <ronghail> sshd: unrecognized service
[12:38] <muelli> Whiskey: well, you can set up the compose key that enables you to build those characters easily
[12:38] <jadoe> sudo service ssh start
[12:38] <Whiskey> kk
[12:38] <psycho_oreos> sp4z, nw
[12:38] <ronghail> yeah I tried guessing all the normal ways too
[12:38] <Whiskey> and exactly whit that you mean?
[12:38] <ronghail> that doesn't work either
[12:39] <ronghail> I mean on udumbo
[12:39] <ronghail> start:  unknown job: ssh
[12:39] <muelli> Whiskey: well. I have the compose key on the caps lock key. I can thus easily build ä by pressuig <compose + " + a>
[12:39] <dr_willis> its not ssh i think.. try tab completion
[12:39] <dr_willis> sshd perhaps?
[12:40] <gagan6621> ronghail: have you installed ssh-server?
[12:40] <jadoe> ronghail: is sshd installed?
[12:40] <theadmin> ronghail: Look under /etc/init/ for the .conf file.
[12:40] <dr_willis> sudo service list (I think shows them all)
[12:40] <ronghail> I did apt-get install openssh-server
[12:40] <gagan6621> ronghail: reboot..
[12:40] <ronghail> I didn't install a kernel
[12:40] <ronghail> this isn't windows
[12:40] <theadmin> gagan6621: What kind of a suggestion is that? This is Linux
[12:40] <ronghail> hehe
[12:40] <dr_willis> willis@SlimUbuntu:~$ sudo service ssh status
[12:40] <saju_ma> suppose a file is copying to dir /mnt/s1,  i want to remove /mnt/s1 and kill copy operaion,  have any way to do it with a single command,  i tried "rm -rf /mnt/s1"   but not working .
[12:41] <dr_willis> ssh has always auto started for me when i install the openssh server
[12:41] <ronghail> unknown job ssh
[12:41] <doomgiver> hello, guys
[12:41] <ronghail> yeah always started for me with older versions
[12:41] <dr_willis> try  that apt-get install line again...
[12:41] <ronghail> already latest, or something to that effect
[12:41] <doomgiver> can someone tell me  what can be the side effecs of force-mounting a ntfs filesystem? that might have bad sectors?
[12:41] <ronghail> already at newest version
[12:42] <ronghail> there is /etc/init.d/ssh      but it doesn't start sshd
[12:42] <dr_willis>  ls -l /etc/init/ssh.conf
[12:42] <dr_willis> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 667 Feb  6 10:52 /etc/init/ssh.conf
[12:42] <theadmin> ronghail: Seems to be "ssh", but...
[12:42] <ronghail> I have that file
[12:42] <gagan6621> ronghail: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[12:42] <ronghail> yeah did that
[12:43] <doomgiver> can someone tell me  what can be the side effecs of force-mounting a ntfs filesystem? that might have bad sectors?
[12:43] <dr_willis> doomgiver,  possible dataloss or currupted files.
[12:43] <ronghail> it tells me unknown job ssh
[12:43] <theadmin> ronghail: Something wrong with the initscript itself probably :$
[12:43] <dr_willis>  sudo /etc/init.d/ssh  status
[12:43] <dr_willis> Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[12:43] <doomgiver> dr_willis ok,any idea of the extent? will the disk become unusalbe? or will some sort of data recovery be possibe?
[12:44] <ronghail> yeah it says that here
[12:44] <dr_willis> doomgiver,  no way anyone can predict.
[12:44] <doomgiver> dr_willis: and thanks!
[12:44] <dr_willis> doomgiver,  if you want to get the data in the safest way. Image the disk to a file. perhaps using ddrescue then mount the file.
[12:44] <ronghail> mkdir /var/run/sshd; /usr/sbin/sshd
[12:45] <ronghail> runs
[12:45] <ronghail> pos
[12:45] <gagan6621> having problem with graphics driver...
[12:45] <dr_willis> wonder if the sshd command has some verbose output options
[12:45] <gagan6621> help!
[12:46] <ronghail> this has nothing to do with the sshd command at all
[12:46] <dr_willis> gagan662,  state the issue wth more details instead of 'Help!' helps more...
[12:46] <Syria> hello, i am trying to upgrade to 11.10 but i get this message, How can i solve this please? paste.ubuntu.com/877415/
[12:46] <ronghail> it has to do with ubuntu's retarded init replacement
[12:46] <ronghail> and their stupid service management
[12:46] <dr_willis> ronghail,  its been working for most people for the last 4 releases I belive.. so whatever...
[12:46] <gagan6621> show 40% cpu while moving windows across desktop...
[12:46] <gagan6621> xorg use 40% cpu
[12:46] <ronghail> not the latest though
[12:46] <doomgiver> dr_willis: wont the image have the same 'defects' as the hdd? also, the disk is not mountable in ubuntu, it asks me to to "chkdsk" in windows (the disk has windows, and im unable to boot from it, and its a crashed one, the case was dropped from several inches while the systems was running)
[12:47] <dr_willis> or has upstart been the default for more then 4 releases?
[12:47] <dr_willis> doomgiver,  ddrescue can try to recover bad sectors. thats its main feature. :)
[12:47] <doomgiver> dr_willis: thanks once again for taking your time out to answer me,
[12:47] <crizzy> gagan6621: sounds completely normal
[12:47] <dr_willis> doomgiver,  you dont need to mount it for ddrescue.
[12:47] <gagan6621> crizzy: is it ok..?
[12:47] <doomgiver> ok, i;ll see the man pages
[12:47] <fafu> Hello, I need some help with Ubuntu 11.10.. well first I installed ubuntu 9.04 to my brothers laptop and wifi worked fine.. since it didnt want to update anything on the old ubuntu, I wanted to install the new 11.10.. but now with 11.10, the wifi doesn't work even I put the driver on.. so whats the problem
[12:47] <doomgiver> also, how big can the image get? the hdd is ~1 tb and about 750 gb is used
[12:47] <Syria> dr_willis:  Could you please help with this paste.ubuntu.com/877415/  ?
[12:48] <dr_willis> doomgiver,  also you may want to put it in an usb enclosure and try  whatver disk-rescue tools the manafacture may have. After you image it.
[12:48] <buzzmandt> Doomgiver                                                                     sg
[12:48] <dr_willis> Syria,  a summary of the problem would be nice.
[12:48] <crizzy> gagan6621: linux/x is 100x heavier and crappier than windows, so yes it's normal :)
[12:48] <buzzmandt> Msg nickserv 685418
[12:48] <ronghail> nice
[12:48] <almoxarife> oops
[12:48] <dr_willis> doomgiver,  ive recovered 2+TB usb hd's befor. :) took over a week.. but i recovered 99% of the files.
[12:48] <ronghail> heh
[12:48] <buzzmandt> Oops lol
[12:48] <doomgiver> hmm, alright! thanks
[12:48] <gagan6621> crizzy: i thought its lighter than windows...lol
[12:49] <Syria> dr_willis:  I am trying to upgrade to 11.10 but I get a message telling me "Forbidden Ip"
[12:49] <crizzy> gagan6621: that's what fanboys want you to believe, but totally not true :)
[12:49] <crizzy> gagan6621: win7 is 100x faster and less crashy than any linux. sad but true
[12:49] <Syria> dr_willis:  I have used a global proxy but it didn't work!
[12:50] <sattu94> dr_willis: A week? How did you keep the system up ?
[12:50] <doomgiver> wait, did you guys say windows 7 is less crashy and faster than linux?
[12:50] <ico666> doomgiver: hi
[12:50] <dr_willis> sattu94,  up? it was reading from a usb-enclosuer..
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> crizzy  completely true, except for the words used
[12:50] <theadmin> doomgiver: Just ignore the trolls
[12:50] <doomgiver> then please explain how i can get 10 second boots with a optimized arch build?
[12:51] <dr_willis> sattu94,  ddrescue can stop/restart/continue its operations also..
[12:51] <crizzy> doomgiver: win7 never crashes on me, ubuntu/unity/regular desktop apps on linux on the other hand crash 5 to 50 times / day
[12:51] <sattu94> dr_willis: No, Power wise ?
[12:51] <theadmin> doomgiver: I'll call the ops, give me a sec
[12:51] <doomgiver> ico666: yo
[12:51] <dr_willis> sattu94,  Huh? I plugged the flakey usb drive into my desktop box...  and used ddrescue
[12:51] <sattu94> dr_willis: No, dint the lights go away ?
[12:51] <DocPlatypus> Syria: what program is telling you "forbidden IP"?
[12:52] <dr_willis> sattu94,  What?
[12:52] <sattu94> dr_willis: So you had continuous ? electricity for the whole week ?
[12:52] <dr_willis> sattu94,  err.. yes..
[12:52] <DocPlatypus> Syria: you should, at minimum, be able to install what's on the CD/DVD without having to worry about network configuration
[12:52] <sattu94> dr_willis: WoW.
[12:52]  * dr_willis has 6+ Mo uptime on many of his machines.
[12:52] <Syria> DocPlatypus:  I am trying to upgrade my system to 11.10, I am from Syria and i can understand why my IP address is forbidden.
[12:52] <Myrtti> can we move the discussion over the merits of different operating systems elsewhere
[12:52] <doomgiver> theadmin: ok, i see waht he did there, sorry for disturbing the peace
[12:52] <Myrtti> thank you
[12:53] <Syria> DocPlatypus:  But how can I solve this? a global proxy with the apply system wide did not help!
[12:53] <trijntje> I want to set another shortcut for run command (default is alt+f2). But whatever I set gets ignored and 'run command' is still triggered by alt+f2
[12:53] <DocPlatypus> Syria: there's gotta be a host somewhere that doesn't ban the country
[12:53] <sattu94> whois dr_willis
[12:53] <DocPlatypus> (can't wait for the day when installs over Freenet/GNUNet are a realistic option)
[12:54] <Kingstone> why is ubuntu better than any other linux distribution?
[12:54] <Kingstone> i'm looking for a linux system to install
[12:54] <Myrtti> Kingstone: you're welcome to continue that discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:54] <theadmin> Kingstone: It's not "better" nor "worse". It's somewhat unique though. Ubuntu has developed it's own dekstop, Unity, which I find to be awesome for netbooks or touchscreens, for example. It has a few other tools you won't find elsewhere, too
[12:54] <DocPlatypus> darn... I tried...
[12:54] <doomgiver> umm, Kingstone, nothign is 'better' per se
[12:55] <researcher123> after using the backup utility Deja Dup if I try to restore on a newly formated system, will the new users have same privileges as earlier?
[12:55] <doomgiver> Kingstone: it all depends on your need
[12:55] <DocPlatypus> does the entire world have the country of Syria banned for some reason?
[12:55] <DocPlatypus> since apparently it's an issue for at least one would-be Ubuntu user
[12:55] <doomgiver> Kingstone: eg, for speed, i'd use arch linux, if i wanted ease of use, i'd choose linux mint or ubuntu
[12:55] <Myrtti> as I said, you're all welcome to continue the discussion about the merits of different operating systems and linux distributions elsewhere, for example in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:56] <gagan6621> crizzy: hey other problem when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77%
[12:56] <gagan6621> crizzy: is it ok too?
[12:56] <ziv_> hello, I'm getting started in Ubuntu anbd I need a bittorrent client. what is a good bittorrent client for Ubuntu?
[12:56] <doomgiver> you know, i save logs of convos in the chatrooms, they are a WEALTH of knowledge
[12:56] <DocPlatypus> ziv_: Transmission
[12:56] <trijntje> ziv_: transmission is installed by default
[12:57] <doomgiver> THANK YOU GUYS FOR MAKING ME A BETTER PROGRAMMER
[12:57] <gagan6621> crizzy: hey other problem when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77%
[12:57] <ziv_> thank you!
[12:57] <theadmin> ziv_: Ubuntu has Transmission built-in, check it and if you don't like it, give the following a shot, too ($IFS=" "): qbittorrent ktorrent deluge rtorrent
[12:57] <dr_willis> !logs | doomgiver
[12:57] <DocPlatypus> ziv_: a bunch of old/obsolete/less featured are still bundled, such as BitTornado and the original BitTorrent client in Python. I recommend not using them, however, and sticking with Transmission
[12:58] <crizzy> gagan6621: that sounds a bit edgy.. try restarting the terminal if the cpu usage drops again..
[12:58] <DocPlatypus> ziv_: I second theadmin's advice but I recommend against rtorrent unless you really need a console client
[12:58] <DocPlatypus> not a huge fan of deluge either
[12:58] <gagan6621> crizzy: wait..
[12:58] <MonkeyDust> i prefer deluge
[12:58] <doomgiver> use rtorrent, cli goodness
[12:59] <doomgiver> dr_willis: ty once again
[12:59] <trijntje> How can I set a new shortcut for 'run command' under oneiric? Changeing it in 'keyboard preferences' doesn't take effect
[12:59] <DocPlatypus> if you like text mode/CLI, sure... if I'm running an unattended seedbox I'll screen/tmux an rtorrent client
[13:00] <DocPlatypus> but other than that, I stick with Transmission
[13:01] <gagan6621> crizzy: no affect .....
[13:01] <ironhalik> Anyone uses any Dells 3G modem with Ubuntu?
[13:01] <gagan6621> crizzy: now its around 80% ;)
[13:01] <sattu94> Heh.. O cant seem to download rtorrent using apt. It says IP is forbidden.
[13:01] <fafu> Hello, I need some help with Ubuntu 11.10.. well first I installed ubuntu 9.04 to my brothers laptop and wifi worked fine.. since it didnt want to update anything on the old ubuntu, I wanted to install the new 11.10.. but now with 11.10, the wifi doesn't work even I put the driver on.. so whats the problem
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> !bcm | fafu start here
[13:02] <DocPlatypus> fafu: is the wireless kill switch turned on? which wireless chipset?
[13:03] <gagan6621> crizzy: graphics card -> ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series]
[13:03] <miazio> hejka
[13:03] <crizzy> gagan6621: uhm dno.. things more or less work fine on my 6870
[13:04] <gagan6621> crizzy: actually m using Xubuntu 11.10 x86_64 arch..
[13:05] <fafu> switch is on so it cant be because of that.. broadcom sta wirless driver is only thing what I know about that one.. I'm really noob at things with ubuntu :D
[13:05] <ronghail> perl modules I have built on lots of previous ubuntu versions aren't building on 11.10.  junk.
[13:06] <ronghail> get an older version or a better distro
[13:06] <theadmin> ronghail: Ask actual support questions, this is not a channel for complaining you know. Also, some of the Perl modules might be in the repos.
[13:06] <dr_willis> or it may be the verion of perl thats the issue.
[13:06] <ronghail> the proper way to install perl modules is with cpan
[13:07] <ronghail> there is no problem with perl
[13:07] <dr_willis> you havent really given any details.. so who knows..
[13:07] <ronghail> I am just trying to help that guy with his wireless by pointing out that 11.10 is hopeless
[13:07] <theadmin> ronghail: I assume you *do* have build-essential installed? Without it pretty much nothing is gonna build...
[13:07] <ronghail> and he should downgrade
[13:07] <ronghail> yes I have build-essential
[13:07]  * trijntje recals that there were some missing headers when the perl package was build, and thats why things failed
[13:07] <gagan6621> theadmin: when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77%.what to do.
[13:08] <theadmin> gagan6621: Don't ask random people your questions, for one.
[13:08] <gagan6621> theadmin: i dint get support so i am asking you..
[13:08] <monser> man what support
[13:08] <monser> its help
[13:08] <monser> support is for the commercials
[13:09] <theadmin> !patience | gagan6621
[13:09] <oCean> monser: move on, ok? Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:09] <gagan6621> when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77%.what to do.
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> not turn on transparency?
[13:12] <ronghail> also had to install m4 gawk bison and texinfo which are essential to any build but aren't in essential
[13:12] <gagan6621> MonkeyDust: this is not my answer....
[13:12] <ronghail> anyway have fun
[13:15] <helpanoob> was wondering if aptoncd makes a back up of all programes installed at that time of making? not just some
[13:16] <ziv_> hello, I have another question: I have two monitors, and when watching a fullscreen movie on one screen and working on the other the launcher and the top bar reapear above the video, is it possible to make them disappear?

[13:18] <Sidewinder1> gagan6621, Since no one seems to have your answer (I don't, sorry), have you done a quick search at the forums?  http://ubuntuforums.org/
[13:19] <pfifo> Is there any downside to migrating to Debian 6 from Ubuntu 10.04?
[13:19] <trijntje> How can I set a new shortcut for 'run command' under oneiric? Changeing it in 'keyboard preferences' doesn't take effect
[13:20] <trijntje> pfifo: I guess #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for that. Or ask the people from debian why debian is better than ubuntu
[13:23] <monser> how can I have passwordless root account?
[13:23] <theadmin> monser: That's the default.
[13:24] <pfifo> monser, change the 2nd field of root's entry in /etc/shadow to *
[13:24] <trijntje> monser: that sounds like a really bad idea, dont do that
[13:24] <pfifo> theadmin, root has a password by default
[13:24] <monser> yes I know that it is possible to have root account with no password
[13:24] <monser> how to do that?
[13:24] <theadmin> pfifo: Uh not really, it's not set. It's not really empty either.
[13:25] <pfifo> monser, see my 'advice'
[13:25] <theadmin> pfifo: The account is just locked out (the password hash is defined as "!", which no sane hash comes out as)
[13:25] <trijntje> monser: why would you want to do that? Bad idea!
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> !root > monser
[13:25] <monser> pfifo:  is this gonna to disable the root account?
[13:26] <pfifo> monser, no it will enable the root account and anyone who wants to use it can
[13:26] <monser> ok
[13:26] <pfifo> ... even if there in china and have bad intentions
[13:26] <Sidewinder1> Sounds like a great idea. :-(
[13:26] <monser> what is the /etc/shadow file for?
[13:26] <trijntje> pfifo: don't tell people how to do that kind of thing.. If they dont know how to they shouldn't be taught ;)
[13:27] <monser> man
[13:27] <pfifo> trijntje, ill make a note of it
[13:27] <monser> why do you want to restrict the knowledge
[13:27] <monser> trijntje: this is not an free soft attitude
[13:28] <theadmin> monser: Becuase it's silly to do silly things?...
[13:28] <Kaizen> "silly" and "bad idea" are opinions not truths, if someone wants to have a passwordless root it's up to them
[13:28] <pfifo> monser, type 'man shadow' to get all the details about what it is and how it works
[13:28] <trijntje> monser: the point is that it's dangerous to do that. And if you have to ask help to set an empty root password, it *really* dangerous
[13:29] <sitmaudat> hi man
[13:29] <sitmaudat> i have a problem
[13:29] <monser> the point is to spread and share what you know.Not telling the others not to tell
[13:29] <monser> this is the point
[13:29] <trijntje> sitmaudat: ask away
[13:29] <trijntje> monser: you should read the legend of king Midas
[13:29] <boxODER> seriously
[13:29] <boxODER> ;)

[13:30] <Xirrin1> I'm hoping someone might be able to provide me a little direction? I have a Mac Mini from about 4 years ago and am attempting to install linux on it. I have a Logitech diNovo keyboard that connects via bluetooth. The keyboard works perfectly fine to boot up, select a boot method, and type up until the bootup copmletes. Once complete I get the following message: "Bluetooth: hci- urb f72de180 submission failed" and the keyboard/mouse ac

[13:30] <sitmaudat_> could you help me
[13:30] <sitmaudat_> my cpu is i5-480m
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> Xirrin1  install Ubuntu on it, or some other distro?
[13:30] <sitmaudat_> it does not have the instruction of "mov"
[13:31] <sitmaudat_> ubuntu
[13:31] <sitmaudat_> unsupport for 'mov'
[13:31] <pfifo> sitmaudat_, this is ubuntu support, you should ask in #gcc
[13:31] <Xirrin1> Both Ubuntu and BackTrack do the same thing :(
[13:31] <saju_ma> #fuser -k IMG_ww1;rm -rf IMG_ww1  nor killing processes,  have any way ?
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> Xirrin1  Backtrack is not supported here, so stick to Ubuntu for now
[13:32] <sitmaudat_> sorry  I haven't get it
[13:32] <theadmin> sitmaudat_: Not everybody is talking about your issue.
[13:32] <theadmin> !patience | sitmaudat
[13:32] <Xirrin1> Not a problem. The Ubuntu disk is what is in there at the moment.
[13:33] <trijntje> sitmaudat: what exactly are you trying to do?
[13:34] <Xirrin1> Just swapped it. Its strange though because it works normally until the boot sequence completes and then once the OS is up and ready to go it just stops working. I suspect an incompatible BT driver?
[13:34] <sitmaudat_> i am typing a kernel module
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> Xirrin1  which ubuntu version is it, on that rather old mac?
[13:36] <Xirrin1> I've tried both 8.10 x86 and 10.04 x86

[13:40] <Xirrin1> Thanks for the find MonkeyDust! It looks like I've been following them already based on a quick glance but I'll take some time and dig through it - plus it looks like there's a BT section on there as well. You rock!
[13:40] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[13:41] <Xirrin1> I'll try it all out and let you know what happens!
[13:41] <MonkeyDust> Xirrin1  my advice is to upgrade to a newer ubuntu version, it seems BT is not well supported on MacMini/Ubuntu http://blog.costan.us/2009/03/ubuntu-810-or-904-on-mac-mini.html

[13:43] <wunnle> my unitys keeps crashing when i press alt-tab. i can re-run unity by dropping the console, but it started to get annoying.
[13:43] <Zaitzev> wunnle: that happens to me randomly too
[13:44] <wunnle> Zaitzev, are you using empathy?
[13:45] <wunnle> also, how can i change pictures folder destination? i have two operation systems on my computer, so i want to use a common folder.
[13:45] <aseem> wunnle, picture folder destination as in ?
[13:45] <pfifo> wunnle, use a soft link
[13:45] <wunnle> pfifo, ok
[13:46] <Zaitzev> wunnle: I am, occationally (whenever I remember to logon to it)
[13:46] <wunnle> Zaitzev, i suspect from empathy for this unity crash.
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> wunnle  you could create a new partition and move the files you want to share to that partition
[13:48] <wunnle> MonkeyDust, i already have another partition. I just want to learn pictures in home folder have a destination property.

[13:57] <Halexander9000> Greetings Gentlehumans! Is there a way to set custom dimensions and position manually for application windows?
[13:58] <pfifo> Erealz, i use bless and it does that just fine
[13:59] <itaylor57> Erealz, you might try ghex
[14:00] <Erealz> nevermind i found the option to edit the hex and string on the side you know letters on the side
[14:00] <MonkeyDust> !find hex | Erealz
[14:00] <Erealz> it just tab to switch between them
[14:01] <Erealz> and f2 to save the change
[14:01] <ramdan21> hello . . . .
[14:01] <luca> ciao
[14:02] <pfifo> MonkeyDust, no no no, it would be much better toask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots which hexeditor is the best
[14:03] <pfifo> luca, this is an english only chatroom
[14:04] <pfifo> Halexander9000, yes there is, almost all gui apps accept the -geom switch

[14:07] <velko> Halexander9000, there was also a program called devilspie but i don't know if it plays nicely with your environment. you can just try it
[14:07] <pfifo> greenit, you messed up somewhere, start at the beginning and try again

[14:09] <tsimpson> greenit: the password is not the SSH password, but the password you set when you created the key-pair. if you don't want that, then you should create a key-pair without a password

When i try to install the drivers and reboot the system hangs and cannot start up. So i have to go to recoverymode and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which then enables me to boot the system...but with very poor graphic capabilities. How can i fix it so that the system is running with optimal NVIDIA
[14:10] <diverdude> drivers? Please someone help.
[14:10] <greenit> pfifo, do you know how i can remove the existing key from the ssh-agent?
[14:10] <velko> MonkeyDust, this is the first time i hear about such account btw
[14:10] <greenit> pfifo, because this message displays with the new keypair: Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.
[14:11] <Halexander9000> pfifo: velko: Actually, I think I found a way to change the size of my resolution mode itself. Should work nicely for my purposes. Thanks anyway.
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> velko  my mistake, it's FTP, not SSH that has "anonymous"
[14:11] <mi3> how can i load my plymouth screen without rebooting?
[14:12] <pfifo> greenit, delete the file that you scp'd
[14:13] <delinquentme> im trying to run a bash script called test         and im getting this sillyness: -bash: .: /usr/bin/test: cannot execute binary file
[14:13] <MonkeyDust> delinquentme  did you make it executable with chmod +x ?
[14:14] <delinquentme> MonkeyDust, i thought all it needed was the bash config line @ the top
[14:14] <delinquentme> chmod 755 test right?
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> delinquentme  you mean the bin/bash thingy ?
[14:14] <pfifo> its called a shebang

[14:14] <velko> delinquentme, also check if the first line in the file is "#!/bin/bash" (or make sure you call your script like "bash /usr/bin/test"
[14:14] <delinquentme> yeah
[14:15] <delinquentme> yeap i've got this: #!/usr/bin/env bash
[14:15] <victor___> Hi. Does it make any diference if I install ubuntu via USB stick or with the Windows Installer (WUBI) ?
[14:15] <delinquentme> top line  ... and im calling it with "  . test "
[14:15] <theadmin> victor___: A lot of difference
[14:16] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, Using WUBI, it'll install it under windows's bootloader.
[14:16] <theadmin> victor___: Normal installation is more stable, WUBI hardly ever works it seems
[14:16] <AchlysEpithet> And as an application... you'll get to remove ubuntu from software package remove/add.
[14:16] <velko> delinquentme, not ". test" but only "test" or "/usr/bin/test"
[14:16] <pfifo> delinquentme, the file still needs to be executable and you must either place it in PATH or call it using a path
[14:16] <victor___> Okay, so just a regular usb memory stick is ok?
[14:16] <itaylor57> delinquentme, using a bash script named test is not a good idea, there is a bash command test
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> victor___  wubi is a "pseudo installation", it cannot be upgraded and is more limited than a real installation
[14:16] <theadmin> victor___: Sure, long as it's big enough
[14:16] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, its okay but it usually gives you a lot of issue in the long run.
[14:16] <victor___> Allright i've never seen options to boot from usb but
[14:16] <AchlysEpithet> It often keeps crashing on discreen graphic drivers, -.-
[14:17] <victor___> Somethig I have to change in bios possibly?
[14:17] <AchlysEpithet> That kept happening with my Jaunty.
[14:17] <itaylor57> delinquentme, give it a different name like trial
[14:17] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, the BIOS doesn't have anything to do with a WUBI.
[14:17] <delinquentme> that was the issue
[14:17] <mi3> can anyone suggest how can I create my own plymouth screen?
[14:17] <delinquentme> itaylor57, lolol i did! and there is another module called trial!
[14:17] <theadmin> victor___: Yeah, you need to set your bios to boot from your USB, if it can't you have to use a third-party tool like plop to boot your liveusb
[14:17] <victor___> Im refering to installing via usb stick, does it boot loading from it or how does it work? sorry for the confusion
[14:17] <delinquentme> its now zonk and it works :D
[14:17] <victor___> Allright theadmin, thanks.
[14:17] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, http://joekuan.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/plymouth-create-your-own-splash-screen-with-scrolling-boot-messages/
[14:18] <victor___> Is there any reason 32bit is tagged as reccomended on ubuntu.com?
[14:18] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, he meant like in wubi, I guess. :P
[14:18] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, because many processors are 32 bit.
[14:18] <victor___> Ah okay but 64 just as stable?
[14:18] <pfifo> victor___, 32bit version supports more hardware than 64bit
[14:18] <AchlysEpithet> Though 64bit options are available, many softwares don't have their 64bit versions out yet.
[14:18] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, its pretty stable.
[14:18] <victor___> Yeah i had some problems downloading 32bit libs the other day
[14:18] <victor___> To get them to run
[14:18] <AchlysEpithet> Like Flash doesn't have its 64bit out yet.
[14:19] <victor___> But running 64bit with 32bit libs is pretty much the same thing?
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> victor___  32bit runs on both 32 and 64bit hardware -- 64bit only on 64bit hardware
[14:19] <victor___> Its not like im doing anything major
[14:19] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, thats running a hummingbird in a wind tunnel.
[14:19] <AchlysEpithet> It wouldn't matter much unless you need to utilise the processor's 64bit instruction set.
[14:19] <victor___> Hmm. So what would you reccomend me? Its my laptop atm
[14:19] <AchlysEpithet> Stuff like encoding would be comparitively faster.
[14:19] <victor___> i7 2630m
[14:19] <AchlysEpithet> It matters if you run a PHP parser.
[14:19] <AchlysEpithet> Or anything such.
[14:19] <AchlysEpithet> =).
[14:19] <FloodBot1> AchlysEpithet: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:19] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: err I want a one with an animation, i have a script but its a little erroneous
[14:20] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, you should use a 64bit
[14:20] <AchlysEpithet> Your processor is 64bit compatible already.
[14:20] <AchlysEpithet> And I believe it does have VT/x.
[14:20] <victor___> Im just gonna stream some video to my tv, and ply around with minor things
[14:20] <victor___> Ok thanks for the input
[14:20] <victor___> Do i just put the iso file on the stick and thats it? :P
[14:20] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, still, 64bit is a good way to go.
[14:20] <victor___> Just wanna be safe:)
[14:20] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, No not that way.
[14:20] <AchlysEpithet> Use unet boot in.
[14:21] <AchlysEpithet> What it basically does is extract the ISO file on a thumb drive.
[14:21] <AchlysEpithet> And then create a bootloader.
[14:21] <AchlysEpithet> Do you want me to fetch you a link?
[14:21] <victor___> Sure, yes please
[14:21] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, one moment.
[14:21] <AchlysEpithet> http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/568/unetbootin-windows-568.exe/download
[14:21] <AchlysEpithet> That one, victor___.
[14:21] <velko> AchlysEpithet, since debian squeeze ubuntu and debian have hybrid iso images. you can just dd the iso image to the stick and it will work
[14:22] <victor___> okay, thanks :)
[14:22] <victor___>  http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/568/unetbootin-windows-568.exe/download
[14:22] <victor___> oops sorry
[14:22] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, http://askubuntu.com/questions/84045/how-do-i-run-a-custom-animated-bootscreen should get you started.
[14:22] <AchlysEpithet> velko, I think victor___ meant copying the ISO file to the stic.
[14:22] <AchlysEpithet> :P
[14:22] <AchlysEpithet> * stick.
[14:22] <AchlysEpithet> pardon me if I am getting it wrong though.
[14:22] <AchlysEpithet> Because you usually need to make a disc have a boot flag to make it boot.
[14:23] <AchlysEpithet> And a boot loader that'll load a kernel, an init and all that shit.
[14:23] <velko> AchlysEpithet, yes this wont work. but there is no need for netbootin
[14:23] <AchlysEpithet> velko, there are alternatives, certainl.
[14:23] <AchlysEpithet> * certainly.
[14:23] <pfifo> !language | AchlysEpithet
[14:23] <AchlysEpithet> But UnetBootin is a bit hassel-free, I'd rather say.
[14:23] <X_0> unetbootin can be a pain...at times
[14:23] <AchlysEpithet> ubottu, do what you are suppoed to, little bot. xD.
[14:23] <AchlysEpithet> X_0, its never pain to me.
[14:24] <AchlysEpithet> ubottu, you're dumb any way. You're like a trash running on a dell precision edge workstation with a PIII underclocked to a milivolt. xDDD

[14:24] <AchlysEpithet> This bores me now. -.-
[14:24] <AchlysEpithet> Let me check, mi3.
[14:24] <mi3> ok

[14:24] <victor___> Alot more dists to choose from on unetbootin
[14:24] <victor___> 11.10 Live/HDmedia I suppose
[14:25] <victor___> _x64 ofc!
[14:25] <AchlysEpithet> Apparently, that is okay, mi3.
[14:25] <AchlysEpithet> Though I can't confirm you on the fadein options there.
[14:25] <victor___> Oh nvm i could load a diskimage :P
[14:25] <AchlysEpithet> I didn't try it out yet.
[14:25] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, Mhm. True that.
[14:25] <Zaitzev> Flash in Google Chrome stopped working for me out of the blue..and I don't have a clue what to do with it. Any ideas, anyone?
[14:26] <AchlysEpithet> I find storing ISOs a better option.
[14:26] <AchlysEpithet> Zaitzev, is your ubuntu 64bit?
[14:26] <Zaitzev> yes
[14:26] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: can i load more then 400 images?
[14:26] <AchlysEpithet> Same old 64bit issue, Zaitzev.
[14:26] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: in that?
[14:26] <Zaitzev> AchlysEpithet: so it just randomly stops working?
[14:26] <AchlysEpithet> Been waiting for months to find when they have a 64bit out, Zaitzev.
[14:26] <AchlysEpithet> It is a bug.
[14:26] <mi3> !bug
[14:26] <AchlysEpithet> You could google it, the ubuntu bug database has it.
[14:27] <Zaitzev> I'm trusting it exists, no need to read..
[14:27] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, I am sorry, I am not aware of the frame limitations.
[14:27] <AchlysEpithet> But not likely it'd let you have 400 frames.
[14:27] <AchlysEpithet> I just checked the code, seems neat.
[14:27] <AchlysEpithet> Playing a 150 is a safe bet, mi3.
[14:27] <AchlysEpithet> Zaitzev, Mhm.
[14:27] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: can you suggest where can I get more help regarding plymouth?
[14:27] <AchlysEpithet> Though you should always check to see if there are bugs and shit already. xD
[14:28] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, would you prefer a link?
[14:28] <mi3> ok
[14:28] <Zaitzev> 64-bit systems has been around for what, a decade or so soon? and they have yet to build flash plugins that works for it? wtf..

[14:29] <AchlysEpithet> Just change your bios to boot from flash drive.
[14:29] <AchlysEpithet> Oh and btw, old Bioses don't have the option to boot from flash drive.
[14:29] <victor___> Can the installer make partitions or should I allocate free space in windows beforehand?
[14:29] <AchlysEpithet> But most new ones do, all those post 2004 ones.
[14:29] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, the installer can.
[14:30] <victor___> I only have 1 partition atm so..
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> It uses its default partition manager.
[14:30] <victor___> 350/600gb
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> Gparted.
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, will work.
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> I ran ubuntu on a Toaster ffs.
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> xD
[14:30] <victor___> okay so it wont screw up windows? :P
[14:30] <victor___> haha
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> Well it was a toaster with a mini-itx.
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> I needed one for the toilet.
[14:30] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: thats too simple where else can i get help related to plymouth?
[14:30] <X_0> arun pvt
[14:30] <mi3> is there any channel?
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, some hard code stuff, I have this.. wait. hold on a second.
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, not channel really.
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> =X.
[14:30] <AchlysEpithet> X_0, leave me one, hobo.
[14:30] <mi3> ok
[14:31] <X_0> stfu and pm
[14:31] <helpanoob> hey does one need to defrag ubuntu as one would wimblows?
[14:31] <theadmin> helpanoob: Nope
[14:31] <AchlysEpithet> X_0, =(
[14:31] <AchlysEpithet> Okay
[14:31] <AchlysEpithet> Errr.. I need a minute here mi3 and victor___ .
[14:31] <AchlysEpithet> Sorry
[14:31] <AchlysEpithet> :P
[14:31] <AchlysEpithet> I guess I owe X_0 some money.
[14:31] <victor___> o_O
[14:32] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: take your time
[14:32] <AchlysEpithet> Umm... I'll get in a minute or two
[14:32] <AchlysEpithet> Am sorry
[14:32] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: its ok take your time no need to be sorry, come on!
[14:32] <AchlysEpithet> xD
[14:32] <bosong>  anyone heard of artificial telepathy ?
[14:32] <AchlysEpithet> I came in here for after maybe a year, quite frankly.
[14:32] <under> How. How can I remove unity and install gnome classic? Thanks.
[14:32] <AchlysEpithet> I am not a regular here. xDDD.
[14:33] <dlentz> under, what version of ubuntu?
[14:33] <under> last one
[14:33] <theadmin> under: Not possible for Oneiric.
[14:33] <JohnNapster> hello y'all
[14:33] <under> WHAT?
[14:33] <theadmin> under: Gnome 2 is no longer developed, so... You have to wave it goodbye. Try XFCE.
[14:33] <dlentz> well, MATE is probably possible from a ppa
[14:33] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, I guess http://joekuan.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/plymouth-create-your-own-splash-screen-with-scrolling-boot-messages/ is all I have got, I am afraid.
[14:33] <AchlysEpithet> =\
[14:33] <AchlysEpithet> But it seems pretty helpful to me.
[14:33] <AchlysEpithet> I used one of those to create a nasty mac one. xD
[14:34] <bosong> under i have 11.10 and dont like unity. i installed gnome-shell and gnome-panel. i then choose classic gnomre]]
[14:34] <maebara> hey. i've got a little problem. when i try to luch Far Cry through wine everything works fine expect sound. there is no sound in game. anyway to fix it?
[14:34] <AchlysEpithet> http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/Scripts , mi3
[14:34] <AchlysEpithet> Thats the whole documentations that you'd need.
[14:34] <bosong> i then choose classic gnome at login time
[14:34] <AchlysEpithet> But apparently, its having no sample scripts.
[14:34] <under> okay
[14:34] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, let me know if that does.
[14:34] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, ping. :P
[14:35] <victor___> So before I venture to installing. I have now made the boot-thingy with UNetbootin. I used the 11.10 desktop amd64.iso, successfully. I am currently running windows on a single partition. A 600gb hdd with 60% free. So ubuntu installer can make this happen? Create a partition out of the sole and only one I have right now? And dual boot magic?
[14:35] <AchlysEpithet> Oi, wb eon__.
[14:36] <victor___> Because the partition is all allocated space, even if its not used?
[14:36] <AchlysEpithet> X_0, can you do a tracert on eon's I need the last hop, my nmap refuses to start up.
[14:36] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: umm do you know i was talking about the script i pasted?  i increased it to 105 [see line 173] can you suggest how?
[14:36] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, It doesn't matter. It'll automatically change the format of the partition.
[14:36] <AchlysEpithet> Lets say you have a 500gig hDD.
[14:36] <AchlysEpithet> and 250 Gig is for windows.
[14:36] <delinquentme> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/  << is this a reserved IP address?
[14:36] <AchlysEpithet> And you have another 250 gig partition that you don't mind sparing.
[14:36] <auronandace> victor___: it will resize
[14:36] <AchlysEpithet> So you could use the rest of the 250G (Whether formatted or unallocated) to run ubuntu.
[14:36] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: umm sorry how to make it to 300?
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, Gparted will guid you. You can pull a slider.
[14:37] <victor___> Ah okay, thanks :)
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> xD
[14:37] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: is there some calculation?
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> Its all easy.
[14:37] <victor___> Has it always been like that?
[14:37] <victor___> Well the last 5 years atleast
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, I am sorry, I am not qutie aware of the frame limits as I told you.
[14:37] <JohnNapster> in ubuntu source code (more exactly in the update-manager package), how can i get the currenty installed ubuntu version? i am writing a patch and want to fix a string to say "Ubuntu %s is blah blah blah" % version     what should i put instead of the 'version' reference  ??
[14:37] <victor___> Anyway, reboot time :)
[14:37] <bosong> delinquentme it looks like an apipa address for internal networking only
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, Sort of. xD
[14:37] <mi3> AchlysEpithet: can you explain me the calculation that has been done?
[14:37] <victor___> wish me luck, although im certain its not needed :P
[14:37] <victor___> Thanks alot AchlysEpithet
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, I'll check 173 quick.
[14:37] <velko> victor___, do a backup first
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> victor___, naaah. thats all right
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> :P
[14:37] <AchlysEpithet> Godspeed!
[14:38] <theadmin> JohnNapster: This isn't really helpful, but you can look at /etc/*-release files and the output of various lsb_release commands. e.g. on a 11.10 system, "lsb_release -sc" will return "oneiric"
[14:38] <JohnNapster> i want the number, like "12.04"
[14:38] <bosong> delinquentme The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS> for Automatic Private IP Addressing. As a result, APIPA provides an address that is guaranteed not to conflict with routable addresses.
[14:38] <AchlysEpithet> As far as I understand, it defines when after reaching particular number of frames it loops back, mi3?
[14:39] <AchlysEpithet> I just checked the synatxes and all, I didn't see all of it really.
[14:39] <theadmin> JohnNapster: lsb_release -sr
[14:39] <mi3> ohh i see!
[14:39] <AchlysEpithet> =).
[14:39] <AchlysEpithet> But the code looks clean, mi3.
[14:39] <JohnNapster> theadmin: i cannot use that command in a script
[14:39] <mi3> i want it to stop looping and continue
[14:39] <AchlysEpithet> Umm.  could run it on an environment maybe.
[14:39] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, thats that you ded in line 169.
[14:39] <delinquentme> bosong, thanks much!
[14:40] <JohnNapster> theadmin: i cannot use that command in a script... i am fixing the update-manager source code
[14:40] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Depends on your programming languages, most have some statement like exec() or system() or whatever.
[14:40] <mi3> what?
[14:40] <JohnNapster> theadmin: which would you recommend?
[14:40] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, you set loop = 0;
[14:40] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Which ARE you coding in?
[14:40] <JohnNapster> theadmin: python
[14:40] <mi3> ok how do I stop it from looping?
[14:41] <JohnNapster> theadmin: which python command would you recommend?
[14:41] <AchlysEpithet> mi3, Not very sure. I can say from line 173 that it'd start looping after reaching particular number of frames.
[14:41] <mi3> i hate to see it looping from frame 61 i guess
[14:41] <AchlysEpithet> Indeed. -.- . Loops freak me out.
[14:41] <AchlysEpithet> xD
[14:42] <JohnNapster> theadmin: something like platform.version_string()
[14:42] <mi3> i am referring to line 175
[14:42] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Something like this would work...: ubuntu_version = os.system("lsb_release -sr")
[14:43] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Not too into Python personally, not sure if there is a native way to get it (probably not)
[14:43] <pfifo> theadmin, no, that returnt she exit code
[14:43] <velko> theadmin, i don't think so. this will return the exit status of the command
[14:43] <theadmin> pfifo: Oh, doh... How would I go about getting the output?
[14:43] <pfifo> JohnNapster, open, /usr/bin/lsb_release and READ it, it is a python script
[14:44] <JohnNapster> theadmin: platform.system() returns "Linux"  ...  i want something that would return "12.04" or "11.10" or.... you get the idea
[14:44] <theadmin> JohnNapster: I know what you mean, I don't think it's possible to do it by a simple function call
[14:44] <pfifo> JohnNapster, see above
[14:44] <wylde> gksu nautilus
[14:45] <theadmin> wylde: This is not a terminal window
[14:45] <wylde> bah wrong window focused ><
[14:45] <JohnNapster> how does ubuntu code in general get its version string ?
[14:46] <pfifo> JohnNapster, from the file /etc/lsb-release
[14:46] <JohnNapster> another thing...
[14:47] <ablyss> most all code uses subprocesses to read strings
[14:47] <JohnNapster> what's the package name of the Overview thing in ubuntu?
[14:47] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Teh wut? You mean the main menu thing, the dash? That's provided by the unity package, I believe.
[14:48] <JohnNapster> in my Overview screen it says  ubuntu 12.04 LTS  and not  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS   (ubuntu --> Ubuntu)
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> JohnNapster  ask in #ubuntu+1
[14:49] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Ah that, gnome-system-monitor or whatnot probably (if it's still that)
[14:49] <theadmin> (not sure)
[14:49] <delinquentme> i want to set a shell variable to the value which gets returned by this call : wget -q -O - http://<IP_ADDRESS>/latest/meta-data/instance-id
[14:49] <delinquentme> $NARF = wget -q -O - http://<IP_ADDRESS>/latest/meta-data/instance-id isnt doing it :D
[14:49] <icons> hey guys
[14:50] <pfifo> delinquentme, omit the $
[14:50] <theadmin> delinquentme: blah = $(command)
[14:50] <tenobjects> Is inotify a server
[14:50] <JohnNapster> theadmin: i'll take a look at it
[14:50] <ablyss> delinquentme, export narf=blah
[14:50] <delinquentme> ah!
[14:51] <theadmin> delinquentme: If you prefer, you can also go Perl-style: blah = `command`
[14:51] <icons> can anyone help me with this !! I want to change the default gnome-launcher-panel-icon so when adding a new menu item the icon is a different one to the default spring looking icon
[14:51] <no_gravity> Good Morning! Whats the current linux way of compressing a directory? "tar -zcvf my_folder.tar.gz my_folder"? Does that compress with maximum compression?
[14:51] <delinquentme> nerp     not working>>>   narf = $(wget -q -O - http://<IP_ADDRESS>/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
[14:51] <theadmin> delinquentme: Get rid of the spaces
[14:51] <theadmin> Sorry
[14:51] <theadmin> >.<
[14:51] <icons> can anyone help me with this !! I want to change the default gnome-launcher-panel-icon so when adding a new menu item the icon is a different one to the default spring looking icon
[14:51] <ablyss> theadmin, spaces are not allowed in bash e.g., blah=$(command)
[14:52] <theadmin> ablyss: That's what I said just now, I forgot bash is so picky (been coding in Perl for the past few days which has a somewhat similar syntax in many things)
[14:52] <delinquentme> awesome! TIL i why the $ is used to denote bash
[14:53] <delinquentme> theadmin, +10 points
[14:54] <theadmin> delinquentme: lol, well -- yeah, spaces. If you want the variable to be available to child processes (things you start from this shell/script) you'll have to export it.
[14:54] <JohnNapster> theadmin: nope, it isn't the gnome-system-monitor
[14:55] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Ah sorry, hm... Not sure what else it may be then.
[14:55] <JohnNapster> theadmin: it's the Overview window... i can't remember how i opened it
[14:56] <theadmin> JohnNapster: I've not used Ubuntu for ages so that doesn't ring any bells xD I remember that the system monitor used to have some page with basic system info, at least earlier
[14:57] <bosong> theadmin what are you using just now ?
[14:57] <theadmin> bosong: Right now? Windows 7. Well, my main operating systems are W7 and Arch Linux, with Gentoo on my shell account. This is also offtopic.
[14:57] <JohnNapster> theadmin: it does, but it isn't the thing that has the typo in it
[14:57] <velko> no_gravity, gzip and bzip can compress only single files, no directories. for this reason you can use tar to concatenate all files from a directory into one file. and use gzip or bzip to compress it. you can also tell tar to compress the archive on the fly (with the options z or j). but you cannot specify the compression level
[14:58] <JohnNapster> theadmin: it's sort of like the ubuntu About box
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> JohnNapster  12.04 is still in development, it will be corrected, imo
[14:58] <velko> no_gravity, your command is correct. but if you want to select the compression level, you have to split it in two steps
[14:58] <theadmin> JohnNapster: Hmmm.... Dunno where you found that xD
[14:58] <no_gravity> velko: ok, i will go with the default compression level
[14:59] <JohnNapster> MonkeyDust: can youtell me how to open the About (Overview) box in Ubuntu 12.04  ?
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> JohnNapster  no, better ask that in the 12.04 channel #ubuntu+1
[14:59] <JohnNapster> ok
[15:01] <harry_> how to download load the whole one year log of ubuntu support?
[15:01] <Xeneth> Weekend sucks for getting answers in ocher channels.  There's alway's talking her though:)  gives me something.
[15:01] <harry_> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[15:01] <bosong> theadmin why archlinux ?
[15:01] <Xeneth> err other
[15:02] <theadmin> bosong: As said before, offtopic. If you want, we can take this to a pm session.
[15:02] <pfifo> jesus, weekend? I thought it was tuesday
[15:02] <harry_> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/  how to download the whole year ?
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> pfifo  this *is* year 2012, don't forget
[15:02] <theadmin> harry_: sudo apt-get install httrack && httrack http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/
[15:03] <theadmin> harry_: Something along those lines.
[15:03] <theadmin> harry_: Or wget -r
[15:03] <theadmin> But... it'll give you a lot more than what you probably want
[15:03] <harry_> wow thanks
[15:03] <theadmin> harry_: Get webhttrack, filter filenames by "ubuntu.txt" for instance, and make sure they are in the year you want.
[15:03] <JohnNapster> ha! i found it
[15:03] <dlentz> JohnNapster, if you don't know how you opened it, then neither do i
[15:04] <theadmin> harry_: That's about it
[15:04] <JohnNapster> MonkeyDust: are you on ubuntu 12.04?
[15:04] <dlentz> JohnNapster, i am on precise
[15:04] <harry_> Thanks

[15:09] <pfifo> does apt-get create a log? does dpkg?
[15:09] <quazimodo> this is absurd, my computer has cached the video im watching fully and yet the flash player in firefox *still* lags an randomly locks up for a second or two
[15:10] <quazimodo> is this an ubuntu common issue?
[15:10] <pfifo> quazimodo, I usually have to disable hardware acceleration
[15:10] <quazimodo> pfifo: where do i do that?
[15:10] <nbubuntu> hi , i have some simple question , as default does ubuntu 10.10 configure iptablet or ufw firewall ? because I wanted to open port . Torrent file deluge and vuze is in yellow state mentioning port problem
[15:10] <pfifo> quazimodo, right click the video
[15:11] <quazimodo> pfifo: ok tried that, lets see
[15:11] <quazimodo> nope froze up right now
[15:11] <pfifo> nbubuntu, by default, atleast in 10.04, all firewalls are disabled
[15:11] <OerHeks> nbubuntu, port problems can be solved in your router
[15:12] <nbubuntu> pfifo : I am getting yellow health on vuze
[15:12] <pfifo> nbubuntu, are you forwarding ports through your router properly?
[15:12] <nbubuntu> OerHeks : pretty sure port are open on the router , let me check
[15:12] <pfifo> nbubuntu, are BOTH programs trying to use the same port at the same time?
[15:13] <bosong> i run trnsmission and i dont have to do anything to the router
[15:13] <pfifo> nbubuntu, are you trying to use a port less than 1024
[15:13] <nbubuntu> pfifo : dont think so , it's 5xxxx random number port range
[15:14] <quazimodo> pfifo: ok so thats not working, then ill run off and ask the firefox guys or flash guys?
[15:14] <pfifo> quazimodo, I dont have any other ideas

[15:26] <dommer> That's not the issue.  I think it might be the root settings, but I'm not sure.  I would have to get to root and see the permissions to know, but I don't know how to do that.
[15:26] <subdesign> bosong: boot to recovery mode: yes
[15:27] <shaneo> hey guys so i plugged my usb into my pc this morning and for some reason it is read only and wont let me copy file to or from it any suggestions on what may have happened and how i could fix it

[15:27] <bosong> subdesign what happens when you do a normal boot ?
[15:27] <dommer> monkeydust - I've used audacity before, it's ok, I'm just better with REAPER.  Plus I learn how to use wine.

[15:34] <theBatMan> hi
[15:35] <imnichol> Hey does anyone know how to figure out what package "/usr/bin/ldd" is in?
[15:35]  * mneptok cues the Bono theme
[15:35] <pfifo> imnichol, its from binutils
[15:35] <mneptok> err ... wait. it was The Edge.
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> imnichol  try apt-cache policy
[15:35] <imnichol> pfifo, thanks, is there a command that will tell me for any given file what package it is from?
[15:35] <pfifo> imnichol, the program 'apt-file' can do that
[15:36] <imnichol> MonkeyDust, pfifo, thank you very much
[15:37] <bluefrog> JohnNapster, gnome-control-center info
[15:39] <imnichol> pfifo, apt-file tells me that ldd is actually in libc-bin
[15:39] <imnichol> Just FYI ;)
[15:39] <The_BROS> Anybody knows why it is not possible to move data from Firefox to Chromium?
[15:40] <JohnNapster> data?
[15:40] <subdesign> bosong: i can successfully log in from terminal. is it a good sign?
[15:40] <AminosAmigos> he means preferences
[15:40] <JohnNapster> yyou mean the bookmarks?
[15:40] <nbubuntu1> pfifo : /usr/bin/ 10809  ub  24u  IPv4  88742      0t0  TCP *:55807 (LISTEN)
[15:41] <pfifo> imnichol, ahh, binutils is /usr/bin/ld
[15:41] <JohnNapster> how to list all running processes in ubuntu?
[15:41] <theadmin> JohnNapster: ps aux
[15:41] <imnichol> pfifo, an honest mistake, and you've really helped.  Thanks a bunch
[15:41] <JohnNapster> ah, thanks
[15:41] <theadmin> JohnNapster: That's for the current user though
[15:42] <bosong> subdesign yes and no. it means your account is ok but there is something wrong with unity/gnome
[15:42] <JohnNapster> theadmin: good enough for me ;)
 yes
[15:42] <bosong> subdesign can you log into your gui using another account ?
[15:42] <subdesign> bosong: no, result is the same
[15:42] <theadmin> JohnNapster: You can also install and use htop, a nice command-line task manager tool
[15:42] <phpserver> Hello,what is the default windows manager in ubuntu
[15:43] <theadmin> phpserver: compiz
[15:43] <phpserver> ubuntu 10.04
[15:43] <gvo> gnome
[15:43] <theadmin> gvo: That's a desktop environment, a window manager is e.g. compiz or metacity
[15:43] <gvo> ok
[15:43] <bosong> subdesign im out of ideas, hopefully one of the gurus here can take you further
[15:44] <JohnNapster> okay let's say i would like to list currently running apps... how can i do that? i would like to get the name of that System Settings > Details thing
[15:44] <pfifo> nbubuntu1, and port 55807 is routed to your machine?
[15:44] <phpserver> does compiz support immovable windows
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  can you login using the Guest account?
[15:44] <gvo> JohnNapster: htop?
[15:44] <subdesign> MonkeyDust: no
[15:44] <JohnNapster> htop okay
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  what screen are you in now, how far can you get?
[15:45] <subdesign> MonkeyDust: im on windows now or?
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  you lost me
[15:46] <subdesign> MonkeyDust: on ubuntu im using compiz
[15:46] <giva> hello
[15:46] <giva> good morning people
[15:46] <gvo> subdesign: describe what you are seeing on your screen.
[15:46] <cotterall> subdesign: do you remember what chmod command you ran? was it something like chmod -R xxx /
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  if you see compiz, then you are logged in
[15:47] <subdesign> cotterall: i wanted to chmod 0664 files , coz has problems with file uploads (php)
[15:47] <gvo> subdesign: are you looking at a terminal window or a gui ?
[15:47] <JohnNapster> htop is very colorful and stuff, but i can't get the name of that thing
[15:48] <gvo> JohnNapster: What thing?
[15:48] <subdesign> gvo: i talk about gui, on terminal i can log in with my user
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> JohnNapster  what are you looking for?
[15:48] <JohnNapster> i have opened the window and closed it and saw in htop that compiz was displayed at the top of the list and then back to htop
[15:49] <JohnNapster> i am looking for the name of the  System Settings > Details  thing
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> JohnNapster  what are you trying to do or accomplish?
[15:49] <gvo> JohnNapster: What do you mean at the top and back to htop?
[15:49] <subdesign> MonkeyDust: the gui log in screen loads, but after entering password comes a black screen then again the log in screen
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  that's called lightDM
[15:49] <gvo> subdesign: so your login is failing, right?
[15:49] <subdesign> hm
[15:50] <subdesign> gvo: right
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> ok, now we're getting somewhere
[15:50] <centaur> hello
[15:51] <gvo> subdesign: can you get a terminal screen up by C-A-F1 ??
[15:51] <centaur> how can I ask a question for emacs here?
[15:51] <gvo> Better to go to #emacs
[15:51] <theadmin> centaur: Well, if it's not Ubuntu-specific might be best to ask in their channels
[15:51] <subdesign> gvo: you think when? on the graph login screen? or in recovery mode?
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> centaur  just ask and wait
[15:51] <centaur> could you please tell me how can i get to emacs?
[15:51] <centaur> i am new to irc
[15:52] <theadmin> centaur: /join #emacs
[15:52] <gvo> subdesign: Now, can you do a C-A-F1
[15:52] <centaur> thank you both for replying
[15:52] <ssta> install it and run it (either from the menus or by typing "emacs" at a terminal
[15:52] <centaur>  /join #emacs
[15:52] <subdesign> gvo: sorry im on windows now to able to do irc
[15:52] <theadmin> centaur: No whitespace in front
[15:52] <alfkil> hello

[15:52] <theadmin> alfkil: /server irc.example.org
[15:53] <diverdude> i did sudo apt-get purge nvidia*, how do i then install the nvidia drivers?
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  take note, then: on your ubuntu machine, press ctrl-alt-F - you get a terminal screen - work from there
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  take note, then: on your ubuntu machine, press ctrl-alt-F1 - you get a terminal screen - work from there
[15:53] <JohnNapster> i have opened the System Settings > Details thing (in Unity desktop) and closed it and saw in htop that "compiz" was displayed as the command on the htop's list --- and then the command on the top of the htop's list was quickly changed to "htop"
[15:54] <subdesign> MonkeyDust: ok and what to do?
[15:54] <gvo> subdesign: boot again and do the C-A-F1 at the login prompt and edit .xsession-errors and see if you can find anything of interest, like error messages.
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> subdesign  ask firther advice to repair
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> further*
[15:54] <subdesign> ok
[15:54] <JohnNapster> gvo are you on launchpad?
[15:55] <subdesign> thx brb
[15:55] <gvo> subdesign: you can install windows software that will let you mount your linux partion so you could see that file from windows.
[15:55] <gvo> JohnNapster: No
[15:55] <subdesign> gvo: really?
[15:55] <gvo> Yes,

[15:55] <MonkeyDust> JohnNapster  what are you looking for in htop?
[15:56] <diverdude> i did sudo apt-get purge nvidia*, how do i then install the nvidia drivers?

[16:07] <diverdude> how can i see where
[16:07] <diverdude> how do i mount a usb stick i terminal
[16:07] <JohnNapster> mount command
[16:07] <diverdude> JohnNapster: i know
[16:07] <gvo> diverdude: usually a usb stick will come up automatically
[16:07] <JohnNapster> eah
[16:08] <JohnNapster> yeah, ubuntu does that automatically
[16:08] <diverdude> JohnNapster: but how do i know which sdb?
[16:08] <subdesign> re
[16:08] <gvo> dmesg | tail
[16:08] <camaron_> hola?
[16:08] <JohnNapster> sdb?
[16:08] <gvo> diverdude: ^^
[16:08] <JohnNapster> what is sdb?
[16:08] <subdesign> gvo: .xsession-errors: mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied
[16:08] <diverdude> JohnNapster: you know sda1 sda2 sda3 etc
[16:09] <JohnNapster> oh that
[16:09] <antaras_> diverdude,  open gparted to find whick
[16:09] <CharminTheMoose> What causes more system resources to be used: X's default grey screen or xsetroot -solid black?
[16:09] <gvo> diverdude: dmesg | tail
[16:09] <JohnNapster> dmesg | tail
[16:09] <gvo> subdesign:  google that error.
[16:09] <camaron_> es la primera vez que entro por aquí
[16:09] <auronandace> !google | gvo
[16:10] <gvo> fu
[16:10] <subdesign> gvo: doing
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> !es| camaron_
[16:10] <diverdude> that just shows 922.540441 xhci_hcd 0000:0e:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep
[16:10] <Nach0z> subdesign: are you starting X as root?
[16:10] <JohnNapster> diverdude: just try to mount everything you can imagine
[16:10] <JohnNapster> sudo mount /sda1 ...
[16:11] <diverdude> it also shows new high speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[16:11] <gvo> diverdude: I'm guessing the stick isn't being recognixed.
[16:11] <JohnNapster> or maybe you have issues with the  /media  thing?
[16:11] <subdesign> gvo: found one: http://goo.gl/XNp5M - and yes, i have a tmp permission problem with php upload
[16:11] <subdesign> so maybe thats the problem
[16:12] <JohnNapster> diverdude: is your account in the admin group ?
[16:12] <acovrig> I am trying to use arecord and handbrake with Ubuntu 11.10, and can't get either one to work: arecord doesn't record any sound (no volume) and handbrake won't install.
[16:12] <gvo> diverdude: look for lines like [1400130.487594] sd 14:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through
[16:12] <gvo> [1400130.487607]  sdd: sdd1
[16:12] <diverdude> JohnNapster: yeah it is
[16:12] <JohnNapster> hmmm
[16:12] <gvo> subdesign: that's a start
[16:12] <JohnNapster> diverdude: which version of ubuntu?
[16:12] <diverdude> JohnNapster: 11.10
[16:13] <cheako> Hello, did someone call me?
[16:13] <subdesign> a+x == 1777 ?
[16:13] <subdesign> a+w
[16:13] <JohnNapster> diverdude: what file system does the usb device have?
[16:13] <diverdude> JohnNapster: im guessing fat32
[16:14] <JohnNapster> hmmm, that should work
[16:14] <diverdude> not sure though...maybe ext4
[16:14] <victor__> I just recently installed ubuntu via usb-drive and it all works now, however, upon booting it says something about a disk missing, cant recall exact message, could reboot if nobody has a clue..It tells me to wait to continue and I do and everything works, and press a button to reformat, blabla :P
[16:14] <JohnNapster> you plug your usb in and what happens?
[16:14] <psyqiq> hello
[16:14] <victor__> Just prior to the login screen.
[16:14] <victor__> psyqiq, Hello
[16:14] <gvo> diverdude: Did you see the links in your dmesg like I showed you?
[16:14] <gvo> links=lines
[16:14] <JohnNapster> plug in your usb key and open the home folder
[16:14] <acovrig> nevermind handbrake I didn't notice it was capitalized HandBrakeCLI (I was `locate handbrake`) :P -but I need to get arecrod to work (rec-from sox) doesn't work either
[16:15] <psyqiq> i have a weird issue...my wifi only connects when i connect with my smartphone to the router...
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> diverdude  plug it in and type sudo blkid in a Terminal
[16:15] <diverdude> gvo: no...nothing with write-through
[16:15] <psyqiq> i`m on 11.10
[16:15] <JohnNapster> do you see at the upper left anything?
[16:15] <gvo> diverdude: OK try MonkeyDust suggestion
[16:15] <jparker> Can someone help me figure out how to upgrade mysql 5.1.31 on ubuntu 10.0.4 to mysql 5.1.61?
[16:15] <jparker> I cant seem to find a how too online
[16:15] <JohnNapster> blkid   what does that do?
[16:15] <gvo> block id
[16:16] <JohnNapster> oh
[16:16] <diverdude> MonkeyDust: ahhh that shows 2 devis
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> aaahhhh :)
[16:16] <psyqiq> any ideas?
[16:16] <diverdude> MonkeyDust: one has TYPE=ext4 other has TYPE=SWAP
[16:16] <wylde> JohnNapster: btw...that U you're looking for is exactly the way Ubuntu Bold font displays a capital U
[16:16] <gvo> so your system isn't seeing the usb stick.
[16:17] <subdesign> brb
[16:17] <diverdude> its not?
[16:17] <gvo> Nope
[16:17] <JohnNapster> wylde: it looks typo-ish   doesn't it?
[16:17] <Sa7an> ooh i made the news!!!
[16:17] <diverdude> blahh :/
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> diverdude  what's the outcome of sudo blkid ? use pastebin to show us
[16:17] <wylde> JohnNapster: yep, but that's how it is in the font
[16:17] <psyqiq> it takes ages for the wifi to connect to the router on 11.10
[16:17] <gvo> MonkeyDust it's just his root partition and swap
[16:17] <psyqiq> any fix?
[16:17] <antaras_> i use ubuntu 10.04  and after update i can't see the wireless icon but i am connected properly..   any ideas .. ?
[16:18] <wylde> only difference between capital U and lowercase is the bottom right of the letter.
[16:18] <JohnNapster> diverdude: i plugged in my usb and typed  sudo blkid and i got  something in  /dev/sdb1   and fs=ntfs
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> JohnNapster  you too, use pastebinit
[16:19] <JohnNapster> do you have anything mounted  at /dev/sdbX that has fs fat32?
[16:19] <diverdude> MonkeyDust: its on a crashed machine - no network :( But its something like /dev/sda1: UUID="long alphanum string" TYPE="ext4" and /dev/sda5: UUID="..." TYPE="SWAP"
[16:19] <JohnNapster> that's not it
[16:19] <gvo> MonkeyDust: vfat too
[16:20] <JohnNapster> that's the swap partition of your system
[16:20] <JohnNapster> not usb key
[16:20] <diverdude> and the ext4 ?
[16:20] <gvo> MonkeyDust: His system isn't recognizing the usb
[16:20] <gvo> root partition
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> ah
[16:20] <diverdude> maybe its because its in recovery mode?
[16:20] <JohnNapster> ext4 is your "normal" partition where you have your files on
[16:20] <psyqiq> CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY FIX ? IT TAKES AGES FOR THE WIFI TO CONNECT TO THE ROUTER
[16:21] <gvo> diverdude: Yes
[16:21] <JohnNapster> like music etc.
[16:21] <diverdude> it cannot read USB in recovery mode?
[16:21] <auronandace> !caps | psyqiq
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> !caps| psyqiq
[16:21] <candlepin> kony called
[16:21] <gvo> diverdude: maybe  try this.  dmesg | tail -22
[16:22] <gvo> then install your usb stick and wait a few seconds and type dmesg| tail -22 again.
[16:22] <gvo> Compare the output.  Look for what was printed after you plugged it in.
[16:22] <gvo> It may give you a hint as to why it isn't being recognized.
[16:22] <victor__> Anyone succesfully installed XBMC on ubuntu? The documentation says i should add a repository line but it seems to be outdated
[16:23] <diverdude> gvo: hmm that writes a lot of stuff
[16:23] <gvo> Max of 44 lines total.
[16:23] <jparker> can anyone help me install a newer version of mysqll?
[16:23] <gvo> redirect the output to a file if necessary.
[16:23] <jparker> ubuntu 10.0.4 only has mysql 5.1.41
[16:24] <jparker> I need mysql 5.1.61
[16:24] <JohnNapster> diverdude: do you still have your usb plugged in  ?
[16:24] <antaras_> i use ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and after update i can't see the wireless icon but i am connected properly..   any ideas .. ?
[16:24] <JohnNapster> diverdude: do you still have your usb plugged in  ?   try   mount /dev/sdb1
[16:25] <gvo> diverdude if you're root, fdisk -l
[16:25] <GASSYPOOTS> i cant get BIOS selector ro appeat
[16:25] <GASSYPOOTS> appear
[16:25] <gvo> But that won't do anything if blkid didn't see it.
[16:25] <gvo> Oh well.
[16:26] <gvo> JohnNapster: /dev/sdb1 can't exist if blkid didn't see it.
[16:26] <JohnNapster> then he must have a corrupted  fstab
