[00:00] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: without broadcast i don't see internet close ;)
[00:00] <DrakeH> Here are my routes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126193/
[00:00] <W4sp> DrakeH: Do you have two IF, one physically connected, the other is disconnected?
[00:00] <DrakeH> (I dont really have much experience in configuring these kind of things :p)
[00:01] <sirriffsalot> How do I delete an encrypted hard disk when I can't boot into a live cd on the computer?
[00:01] <DrakeH> W4sp: that's correct ... my server has 2 IFs, 1 of which is used, 1 of which is not
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: my default gw has a metric of zero
[00:01] <DrakeH> the one in use right now is eth1 (the static)
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: and <IP_ADDRESS> has a metric of 1
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: there is also no link-local line
[00:02] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: that's chinese to my ears man :p
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126199/
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: no idea either dude, sorry but mine works so maybe it's significant
[00:03] <DrakeH> well, is there any way I could configure those?
[00:03] <jen_> OerHeks, no not Ustream, Livestream
[00:03] <DrakeH> This is my first attempt at messing about with static IPs in my interfaces
[00:04] <phunyguy> can someone recommend a banking app like Quicken that can do online bank data importing (OFX), and is fairly easy to set up? I couldnt get GnuCash to work and the double entry accounting is overkill.  And KMyMoney doesnt have what I need.
[00:04] <zykotick9> DrakeH: fyi using interfaces file, disables Netowork-Manager - the default ubuntu way to configure networks.
[00:04] <DrakeH> zykotick9: ok fair enough ... would that be easier to configure a static ip with then?
[00:05] <DrakeH> I basically just need to have a local static IP which I can access my server with, while at the same time it has to be connected to the internet
[00:05] <zykotick9> DrakeH: no idea.  i use interfaces ;)
[00:05] <DrakeH> lol ..
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: try installing wicd, it has a nice cli ui too
[00:05] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: wicd is consider "deprecated" by upstream...
[00:06] <W4sp> DrakeH: I'm curious if you can actually ping your gw?
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: really, awww it's awesome though :(
[00:06] <DrakeH> lemme try
[00:07] <DrakeH> W4sp: aye I can
[00:07] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i use it for my netbook, so it makes my :(..
[00:07] <zykotick9> s/my/me/
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>. ?
[00:07] <zykotick9> the 2nd one, i don't know how to do that with regex ;)
[00:07] <Necrosporus> I'm trying to build a package with pbuilder. It runs dpkg which says there's unmet dependency and then entire pbuild ends and each time I run it it installs packages again. Can I make pbuild drop me into shell instead of quitting?
[00:07] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: I can
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: and can other systems ping the IP you are defining via IP?
[00:08] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i'd assume so...
[00:09] <DrakeH> you mean if this machine can ping my server on the same network?
[00:09] <aLeSD__> hi all
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: yes, i'm not really seeing an issue here....
[00:09] <DrakeH> of coruse, I am SSHing my server right now
[00:09] <aLeSD__> I have a problem with installer
[00:09] <DrakeH> I have a local network connection going
[00:09] <aLeSD__> it don-t recongnize my sata disk\
[00:09] <DrakeH> just cant access internet ...
[00:09] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: the server doesn't have internet access (or a broadcast address, i think they connected)
[00:10] <W4sp> DrakeH: Sorry to ask this but did you ping from your server, which should have IPADDR <IP_ADDRESS>? I also wonder why you configured a 192.168.(zero).18 instead of 192.168.(one).18?
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD__: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see the disk?
[00:10] <aLeSD__> I can mount it
[00:10] <aLeSD__> ActionParsnip: I can see it
[00:10] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: because my range is 0
[00:10] <DrakeH> not 1
[00:10] <aLeSD__> but the installer want to format my usbstorage
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: ok if you ruun:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
[00:10] <DrakeH> err sorry, W4sp
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: do you then get web access
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD__: have you got web access in the liveCD?
[00:11] <trism> Necrosporus: yes, copy /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/C10shell to some empty directory and run pbuilder with --hookdir /path/to/directory/
[00:11] <aLeSD__> ActionParsnip:  what do you mean ?
[00:11] <aLeSD__> I have internet in the livecd
[00:11] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: it doesnt run anything
[00:11] <DrakeH> it just opens up a next line to type stuff in
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: yes, this is linux
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: you don't get an 'ok' after each command
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: in linux, no news is good news
[00:12] <DrakeH> no, I mean
[00:12] <DrakeH> it doesnt finish the command
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: then you mistyped
[00:12] <DrakeH> aye, lol
[00:12] <DrakeH> mistype
[00:13] <jen_> has anyone used the livestream encoder on wine?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: told ya
[00:13] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: yep, got internet
[00:13] <DrakeH> oO
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: yep, your DNS sucks
[00:13] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: nice!
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: now get full updates and see if a reboot helps
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: cowabunga
[00:13] <DrakeH> doing it
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: ip, subnet, route, dns    is how I check em
[00:14] <J3f> cawabunga LOL
[00:14] <DrakeH> so basically you let me set the open dns on my machine?
[00:15] <W4sp> ActionParsnip: , DrakeH: Kudos, well done!
[00:15] <J3f> how to install driver VGA intel N10 ?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: its google's public dns, easier IP to remember
[00:15] <zykotick9> DrakeH: s/open/google's/
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> J3f: its in a default install
[00:15] <aLeSD__> ActionParsnip: no idea here _
[00:15] <DrakeH> well yeah, I use it all the time
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD__: in the liveCD desktop, can you access teh web?
[00:15] <DrakeH> but why go through the hassle of tee'ing it and such?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: because sudo doesn't traverse the redirection
[00:16] <aLeSD__> yes
[00:16] <J3f> i cant acivate unity 3d
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: sudo echo "stuff" /path/to/file    will fail with "access denied" as the only part of the command with sudo access is the echo command
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD__: then run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted ubiquity
[00:17] <DrakeH> I just meant ... why not edit resolv.conf directly :p
[00:17] <DrakeH> I could have done that haha
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> J3f: then you may need an xorg.conf file to define the display so the driver loads. I also suggest you try Ubuntu 12.10 as I've seen the newer drivers and kernel help with those chips
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> David_Miller: same difference, I just gave the command to do it ;)
[00:18] <aLeSD__> ActionParsnip: I see the drive with the actual gparted
[00:18] <aLeSD__> is there some bug fixed in the new version ?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD__: possibly, thats why upgrading those 2 packages before install can help
[00:18] <DrakeH> Anyhow, big big thanks. I am going to reboot the machine and see how it goes :)
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD__: run:  sudo apt-get clean    when they are installed
[00:24] <theadmin> I have a little but very annoying problem. In KDE, VLC completely ignores the volume set in KMix and plays at the player volume. Is this intended?
[00:24] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: rebooted, but had to run the command you gave me again to get internet access
[00:25] <zykotick9> theadmin: extremely will structured queston ;)  oh, look who it's coming from.  ;)  best of luck - i have no idea.  kde = sparkle vomit to me
[00:26] <theadmin> Messing with sound outputs doesn't give great results... Tons of devices on the ALSA output but all I tried result in complete mute. Pulseaudio = same behaviour as before. I think it's quite pointless to try OSS.
[00:27] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, i was doing something and my girlfriend killed my attention span with DamnLoL links  what were we talking about?
[00:29] <chen_> hello
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: add it in /etc/rc.local   above the exit 0 line, you can leave the sudo bit out
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: no idea, i've been fighting bacups this whole time, sorry
[00:35] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: rc.local is executed as root right?  thus no sudo required?
[00:35] <DrakeH> I was thinking the same, has to be :p
[00:35] <DrakeH> otherwhise it makes no sense
[00:35] <DrakeH> so basically this will be executed on every boot?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: indeed :)
[00:37] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: thanks ;)  [just confirming]
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: no bad thing
[00:37] <DrakeH> So much to learn, wish I had mad command line skills
[00:38] <Lil> DrakeH, It's never to late to learn.. =)
[00:38] <DrakeH> learning every day
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: you'll learn with time
[00:38] <DrakeH> only started using linux a few months ago on a daily basis so I'm still in my newbie stages
[00:39] <blackshirt> drakeh, welcome to linux world
[00:40] <DrakeH> usually I have a gui to fall back on when I'm using my desktop, but working with a server is tougher as you dont have anywhere to run when it's not working haha
[00:40] <zykotick9> blackshirt: that's "gnu/linux world" ;)
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: once you get the server sorted, it doesn't need much maintaining :)
[00:40] <zykotick9> blackshirt: this isn't android :p
[00:41] <blackshirt> zykotick9, thanks... a lot of part of world uses linux as a basis...
[00:41] <altin> My flash player is lagging so much in firefox when I play videos on yt or anywhere !!
[00:41] <DrakeH> nah I am fine setting up nginx or apache or w/e for my web stuff, but internal stuff such as IFs etc is all new to me
[00:41] <altin> anyone familiar with this issue ?
[00:43] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip,  thats fine it was apt-fast other than that no worries.
[00:43] <blackshirt> altin, flash was f***k
[00:43] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: yep, it's all good now, server rebooted with internet conneciton
[00:43] <DrakeH> thanks so much :-) ... would have been struggling for hours without that help, I'm sure :p
[00:43] <zykotick9> altin: flash does poorly on gnu/linux (always has).  use youtube.com/html5 for an alternative.
[00:44] <DrakeH> flash does poorly on all systems these days :)
[00:45] <zykotick9> DrakeH: +1
[00:45] <DrakeH> cant believe I was actually still developing flash apps 2 years ago
[00:46] <zykotick9> DrakeH: you don't have to admit everything ;)
[00:46] <DrakeH> well, flash used to be cool, lol!
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: not here
[00:47] <DrakeH> obviously not :D
[00:47] <zykotick9> DrakeH: disco "used to be cool"
[00:47] <DrakeH> was it actually possible to develop flash apps on linux, since adobe offers no support to linux systems :p
[00:48] <DrakeH> well no support for their applications atleast, the flash container is one thing
[00:48] <altin> zykotick9: thanks, that helped
[00:49] <zykotick9> DrakeH: s/"adobe offers no support to linux"/"adobe offers limited-to-no support to gnu/linux"/
[00:49] <DrakeH> yeah yeah
[00:49] <zykotick9> altin: glad to help
[00:50] <thepumpkin> anybody has experience with lxc(linux containers)? I'm setting network.ipv4 in the config file but is not being used by container until the second container reboot.
[00:50] <thepumpkin> any ideas?
[00:50] <thepumpkin> thanks in advance.
[00:51] <zykotick9> thepumpkin: what are "containers" in your definition?  or lxc?'
[00:51] <thepumpkin> zykotick9: yeah, the container in /var/lib/lxc
[00:51] <blackshirt> linux container...you should read it zykotick9
[00:52] <zykotick9> blackshirt: http://lxc.sourceforge.net/ thanks.
[00:52] <blackshirt> That was in kernel solution for lighweight virtualization
[00:53] <zykotick9> blackshirt: kvm ftw ;)
[00:53] <thepumpkin> zykotick9: I have a linux container called created with the ubuntu template, the config file has lxc.network.ipv4 = <IP_ADDRESS>/24 but that IP is not being leased by dnsmasq until the second reboot of the linux container.
[00:53] <thepumpkin> I have to do lxc-stop and lxc-start again so it holds the IP.
[00:53] <thepumpkin> any ideas?
[00:53] <zykotick9> thepumpkin: sorry - i don't know anything about it.  good luck (i won't see anymore of your messages)
[00:54] <thepumpkin> zykotick9: np. thanks.
[00:54] <blackshirt> thepumpkin : i have ply bit a little..but no deep on them
[00:54] <thepumpkin> blackshirt: this happens only in EC2, locally it works just fine.
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> My computer just f*cked itself
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> My keyboard layout reverted to qwerty, the icons on the left are enourmous again, guake didn't run on startup, and it started really slowly
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> Any help?
[00:55] <dwarder> DFrostedWang: put this on porntube :P
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> LOL
[00:56] <blackshirt> thepumpkin, sorry, i don't know exactly..but maybe you can analyze your log
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: is it ok in unity2D session?
[00:57] <DFrostedWang> IDK
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: then find out.....
[00:57] <DFrostedWang> How?
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: log off, select nity 2D under the ubuntu icon near your username and then log in.
[00:58] <DFrostedWang> kk
[00:58] <DFrostedWang> BBIAS
[00:58]  * DFrostedWang has to logout. BBIAS
[00:59] <cution> that's why i like to irc with screen i never have to close it ;(
[00:59] <zykotick9> cution: +1
[00:59] <aLusion> Hello I was wondering you know how there's a ton of programs you can download from the terminal, how can I preview such before downloading?
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> Nope
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> Exactly the same
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> Except my keyboard layout stayed Colemak this time, prolly 'cause I used setxkbmap
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: if you make a fresh user and log in, is it ok there?
[01:00] <escott> aLusion, preview? there isn't really such a thing. if you want screenshots check the programs website
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> I don't understand how that would help
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> My customizations are gone
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> It's normal
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> The icons are huge and my keyboard layout isn't right
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: your current user has some settings, like for the launchers and various othe apps.
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> Yeah
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: when you make a new user and log in the user will get default settings,
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> It has default now
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: so if the issue is te same with default settings then we know its the applications teemselves, if it is ok then it is your user settings causing the issue. That is precisely how it can help. It isolates the issue
[01:02] <aLusion> I'm lonely, where can I download some friends?
[01:02] <DFrostedWang> My channel
[01:02] <DFrostedWang> #porn-support
[01:02] <DFrostedWang> :D
[01:08] <Jagst3r15> dangit, I installed this PPA and purged it, but now I cannot add Rhythmbox again because I have broken packages? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126248/
[01:10] <aLusion> Does this channel support KDE related questions as well for ubuntu related distros
[01:10] <IdleOne> aLusion: sure
[01:12] <aLusion> I want to know information on desktop customization / workspaces in KDE. How do I set up seperate desktops with unique icons? Right now the icons translate on every workspace, so should I configure my icons/widgets in relation to activities ?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Jagst3r15: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:17] <Jagst3r15> precise, ActionParsni[
[01:18] <Jagst3r15> ActionParsnip*
[01:18] <theadmin> Messing with sound outputs doesn't give great results... Tons of devices on the ALSA output but all I tried result in complete mute. Pulseaudio = same behaviour as before. I think it's quite pointless to try OSS.
[01:18] <theadmin> Oops
[01:18] <theadmin> I have a little but very annoying problem. In KDE, VLC completely ignores the volume set in KMix and plays at the player volume. Is this intended?
[01:19] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip,  what was the burning software you mentioned not the wodim the other one.
[01:20] <Jagst3r15> brb
[01:21] <chino> hola
[01:22] <chino> meayudan
[01:23] <abi__> bro
[01:26] <Riley24> i could use some help with avant on xfce for somereason it wigged out on me and i cant get it to restore to default settings
[01:28] <Riley24> is there a way to complety remove it and reinstall to default settings so far ive tried remove the ,config file in usr and use autoremove in terminal
[01:28] <Jagst3r15> ActionParsnip how do I properly purge this ppa? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/rhythmbox
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: xfburn is what I use (rarely mind)
[01:29] <Jagst3r15> I cannot install rhythmbox 2.96 because I did not properly remove 2.97ppa so I just reinstalled the 2.97 ppa
[01:29] <Riley24> but when i reinstall it just goes back to the way it was before
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Jagst3r15: you will need to remove rhythmnbox with the PPA added, then remove the ppa then install rhythmnbox
[01:29] <xangua> !ppa-purge | Jagst3r15
[01:30] <Jagst3r15> ActionParsnip so remove it from by clicking remove in the USC then purge the PPA?
[01:32] <Prez00> hello
[01:32] <mummy2458> hi
[01:33] <Prez00> I am running Ubuntu 12.04, whenever I want to connect to my wireless networks using network manager it alwasy asks for wifi passphrase.  The passphrase is already in there, but I always hacve to hit the ok, is there a way for it to connect to network if it has password?
[01:34] <Carlos_> has anyone ever had an eror where the terminal wont let you type in your password?
[01:34] <Raptor> shouldnt have to keep entering the passphrase
[01:34] <tightwork> I have ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, installed laptop-mode-tools. I set suspend on lid close... System will spin down, maybe minute later spin backup with the lid still closed. What is going on? obviously this is unacceptable if I put the laptop in my bag it will cook itself.
[01:35] <Raptor> should automatically connect.  check and edit your connection settings
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Jagst3r15: sounds good, or you can use apt-get , either is fine
[01:36] <Raptor> edit your connections
[01:37] <Jagst3r15> ActionParsnip ty for the help
[01:37] <nikolas_> hi to the room
[01:37] <jagginess> Carlos_, if the terminal won't let you type your password it's because your typing your username
[01:37] <nikolas_> i have a problem
[01:38] <jagginess> nikolas_, so?
[01:38] <nikolas_> in my system monitor swap is not available
[01:39] <Bam_Bam> Is it possible to go from 10.04 to 12.04 in one upgrade?
[01:39] <nikolas_> i tried rebooting but still the same
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> nikolas_: try running:  sudo swapon /dev/sda2
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> Bam_Bam: yes, LTS to LTS is supported
[01:39] <Carlos_> jagginess: I opened up the terminal and typed the sudo apt-get upgrade command, but it asks for the password and wont let me type anything in that field. Its like it freezes at that point.
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> Carlos_: sudo doesn't give feedback but is accepting the input
[01:40] <Bam_Bam> ActionParsnip: mind telling me what the command is?
[01:40] <jagginess> ActionParsnip, that doesnt make sense.. "lts to lts is supported"
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | Bam_Bam
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: 10.04 (Lucid) is an LTS releae, 12.04 (Precise) is the next LTS, upgrading between LTS releases in one step is supported,
[01:41] <Ben64> jagginess: every two years there is a LTS (long term support) release, upgrading directly to the next LTS is supported
[01:41] <nikolas_> ActionParsnip:  this is what i got: "swapon: /dev/sda2: read swap header failed: Invalid argument"
[01:41] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: you beat me :(
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: if you are using one of the releases between you will need to upgrade to each successive release in turn, or clean install
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: yeah my beating stick is all outta shape
[01:42] <jagginess> that particular one apparently.. below 10 doesnt look like it can be done directly
[01:42] <Ben64> 8.04 -> 10.04 -> 12.04
[01:43] <jagginess> Ben64, that would make more sense..
[01:43]  * ActionParsnip always clean installs :)
[01:43] <Bam_Bam> ActionParsnip: have you ever had an upgrade go smoothly? because I haven't
[01:43] <Bam_Bam> I'm somewhat afraid to do it on my server lol
[01:43] <Ben64> nikolas_: what does this output? "sudo fdisk -l | grep -i swap"
[01:43] <Ben64> Bam_Bam: i've had it work
[01:44] <Ben64> Bam_Bam: on this very computer I've done... Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy -> Hardy -> Lucid
[01:44] <nikolas_> Ben64: "/dev/sda5       968667136   976771071     4051968   82  Linux swap / Solaris"
[01:44] <tightwork> is the backup utility dejadup suppose to do incremental backups?
[01:44] <danub> hey all
[01:44] <Bam_Bam> Ben64: I've unfortunately never had it work well on Desktop for me :/
[01:45] <Ben64> nikolas_: then sudo swapon /dev/sda5
[01:45] <Ben64> Bam_Bam: i've also done it on my servers with no problems
[01:45] <escott> tightwork, yes
[01:45] <danub> quick question. I have installed apps from source but they aren't in my app list. how can I get them to show up/put them in the list manually?
[01:45] <tightwork> escott: by default?
[01:45] <nikolas_> Ben64: "swapon: /dev/sda5: read swap header failed: Invalid argument"
[01:45] <Bam_Bam> Ben64: I've just got it backed up well, I'll upgrade and see what happens
[01:45] <escott> tightwork, i believe so. i dont use it b/c i dont like the storage format, but it should be incremental
[01:46] <Ben64> nikolas_: strange...

[01:46] <danub> how do i add manually installed applications to the "app drawer"?
[01:47] <nikolas_> Ben64: i dont know if this helps but i see the swap as a external partition in nautilus but i cannot mount it
[01:47] <Alexi> swapfiles cannot be mounted.
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Bam_Bam: seen too many issues with it so I don't bother, my user data is on a file server so I don't actually care about the data on my end system
[01:50] <tightwork> ubuntu makes me depressed
[01:50] <megamanx1978> Can someone help me install desura when I try to run desura.sh in the terminal it says sh: 0: Can't open desura.sh

[02:01] <ns_nazri> hi
[02:02] <C3R0V3G4> hello
[02:04] <thepumpkin> blackshirt: solved my issue. I switched to static ip addresses, just modifing rootfs's interfaces file before launching the container.
[02:07] <ejcweb> Is there a command line program to capture a webcam image? I'm looking for an equivalent to imagesnap which is used on Mac.
[02:08] <C3R0V3G4> im not sure...i use [FN]+PrntScrn
[02:09] <ghostchick> ejecweb scrot
[02:09] <C3R0V3G4> i'll look
[02:10] <nikolas_> hi again,sorry i had a disconnection. any other ideas about my situation?
[02:10] <wifioregon> Since you can't have the Google Toolbar in Ubuntu, is there an alternative?  ALL I need it to do is give the Google PR (page rank) of the current site I'm on.  (Would also be nice if it had mozrank as well)
[02:12] <ns_nazri> you won using in browser firefox
[02:15] <wifioregon> ns_nazri:  actually I just found my answer. SEOmoz has amazing SEO toolbars and tools and a lot of them also give Google PR. Thanks though :-)
[02:15] <usr13> nikolas_: What is your situation?
[02:17] <Platypus-Man> I have set up samba to share my drives (using Ubuntu as a NAS) and see my /home/user/ folder is shared on the network (can only browse, not change files) - how do I make it so that this folder is not shared? when I go to /home/ and right-click /user/ and view Sharing Options, the "Share this folder" option is unticked
[02:17] <switchblade> guyz.  please tell me there is a way to make my 32bit installation 64bit.  i like LXF's remix, but it's not 64bit!
[02:17] <bazhang> switchblade, full reinstall
[02:17] <OerHeks> switchblade, re-install. there is no upgrade to 64 bit.
[02:18] <hwkiller-netbook> theoretically... you can swap all packages to be 64bit. practically, you're liable to screw everything up
[02:18] <hwkiller-netbook> It's been done on other distros, but it's always risky
[02:18] <usr13> Platypus-Man: What?
[02:19] <Prez00> and it still brings up dialog with wifi passphrase (already in there) and I have to press connect
[02:19] <usr13> Platypus-Man: You've set up samba to share your drives?
[02:19] <Prez00> The connect automatically box is checked in network manager wireless connection for my network
[02:19] <Prez00> and it still brings up dialog with wifi passphrase (already in there) and I have to press connect
[02:19] <Prez00> is there some other setting I need to look at?
[02:19] <switchblade> awwwwwww shewt.  that's what i thought.
[02:19] <usr13> Platypus-Man: How do you make it so that *what* folder is not shared?
[02:20] <Platypus-Man> usr13: well, not the drives directly... but the first folder in the drives are shared... but the problem is that /home/user/ is also shared, I don't want to share that
[02:20] <usr13> Platypus-Man: What *do* you want to share?
[02:21] <nikolas_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2036790
[02:21] <usr13> Platypus-Man: What do you mean "the first folder in the drives"?
[02:22] <Platypus-Man> usr13: I do want to share my drives with media on, and have already done so, the problem is that my /home/ folder is also shared, and I don't want that
[02:22] <switchblade> hwkiller-netbook, i'm sure i would.   guess i'll go reinstall
[02:22] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Well, it appears that is exactly what you've shared.
[02:22] <Platypus-Man> by "first folder in the drives" I mean the root folder on each drive... ie "media/a,b,c,/ etc... /media/ is shared
[02:23] <Platypus-Man> usr13: so to have any shared folder at all, I need to share my whole home directory?
[02:23] <nikolas_> :(
[02:23] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Ok then, just share what you want to and not what you don't want to.  NO, you do NOT have to share your whole home directory.
[02:24] <Platypus-Man> usr13: again, I do _not_ want to share my home dir, but it is shared, and I am asking how to un-share it, since when I click on Sharing Options for the folder the sharing checkboxes are un-ticked
[02:25] <Platypus-Man> and other than looking there, I have no clue how to un-share it
[02:25] <usr13> Platypus-Man: First, you have to figure out exactly what you've done.  Well, back up and decide exactly what you *want* to do.  Make a directory that you want to share and then just share only that.
[02:27] <usr13> Platypus-Man: pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:27] <usr13> ... and send resulting URL
[02:28] <Platypus-Man> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126326/
[02:29] <Platypus-Man> I have only tested using one of the media drives, I did not use my home folder (or any files and folders on that drive at all) when testing
[02:30] <Platypus-Man> but looking at that file, I think I need to do now... thanks
[02:30] <ozzloy> http://pastie.org/4381397 i'm in a funky state.  i'm trying to install libtisch for my kinet, but it won't install because it conflits with the executable "slideshow" from racket, and i can't uninstall racket because the libtisch installation isn't finished
[02:31] <ozzloy> how do i get libtisch installed now?
[02:31] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Yep, you shared your home folder.    Now, what do you really want to share?
[02:32] <usr13> Platypus-Man: See lines 342-347 ?
[02:33] <Platypus-Man> usr13: I only want to share the other drives connected to it, and I have done so successfully... thanks for your help
[02:33] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Suggestion, create a folder, like maybe "Videos".  Then just share /home/platypus/Videos
[02:33] <randomusr_> could use some advice/help setting up an imaging server with PXE Boot capabilities for the clients.
[02:34] <usr13> Platypus-Man:  What you did instead is to share your entire home directory.
[02:34] <L3top> Platypus-Man: Your system is unsupported here. Back in your cage. You cannot make manual changes. The system does not work that way.
[02:34] <Platypus-Man> usr13: I'm running Ubuntu as a NAS, booting from a USB thumbdrive, and only share the 10 internal drives on it
[02:34] <L3top> !linuxmce
[02:35] <usr13> Platypus-Man: That is now what your smb.conf file says.
[02:35] <Platypus-Man> L3top: as good as LinuxMCE is, I don't trust it to handle my media directly... NAS is the way to go... Ubuntu confirmed for best pony, I mean... NAS
[02:36] <L3top> Carry on.
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Platypus-Man: linuxmce isn't supported here
[02:36] <Platypus-Man> ActionParsnip: I know, I haven't asked for any LMCE-support questions
[02:36] <L3top> Just dont make changes to the core. ActionParsnip he is trying to create an Ubuntu based NAS it appears. I just jumped him cause I didnt understand what he was doing here.
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Platypus-Man: sweet
[02:37] <Platypus-Man> usr13: removing and chanign a few lines in the conf resolved it, thanks
[02:37] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Okeydokey
[02:38] <Platypus-Man> ah well.. I'm gonna go back to where I belong now (being L3top's <explicit deleted>)
[02:38] <randomusr_> how do I set up an imaging server with PXE capability?
[02:46] <randomusr_> how do I set up an imaging server with PXE capability?
[02:47] <John> Do you mean EXE capability?
[02:47] <John> Use Wine
[02:48] <L3top> PXE
[02:48] <L3top> Network boot. Slim client.
[02:48] <John> oh
[02:48] <John> like bios
[02:48] <John> you need to update your motherboard
[02:48] <John> or maybe it was your graphics card
[02:48] <John> hold on
[02:49] <L3top> No... you turn on your machine and boot to the network... no hard drive.
[02:49] <L3top> Setting up a pxe server is a bit involved. Probably best asked in #ubuntu-server randomusr_.
[02:49] <logiblocs> why does the description say ubottu.com
[02:50] <OerHeks> this howto is a bit old, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro
[02:51] <logiblocs> anyone?
[02:51] <John> L3top
[02:51] <John> You need to update your motherboard and graphics card
[02:51] <L3top> logiblocs: what description... where
[02:51] <trism> logiblocs: it is just a url shortener
[02:51] <trism> logiblocs: first one goes to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
[02:52] <L3top> John... that is not correct. To boot to network you can change the boot order in bios, though most have an fkey you can press to netboot.
[02:52] <randomusr_> L3top, that sounds like french for, "I have no clue"
[02:52] <logiblocs> for the channel - im using the web client and the links are given as ubottu.com/y/dl
[02:53] <L3top> They system I develop on has one core and all else is pxe boot. It is french for, I dont want to spend the time explaining. Follow OerHeks link.
[02:53] <John> L3top, you wanted to know how to update your bios right
[02:54] <L3top> No John. I appreciate your enthusiasm to help though :)
[02:54] <John> oh
[02:54] <John> alright
[02:54] <John> what do you need help with
[02:54] <L3top> I am here to offer support. That is all.
[02:55] <John> oh
[02:55] <John> alright
[03:07] <John> bump
[03:08] <L3top> randomusr_: if you run into trouble after having absorbed the basics during setup, I am happy to help btw. Just not willing to start from scratch.

[03:11] <ActionParsnip> [Toto]: try:  sudo service    then press TAB a few times, see what you got
[03:11] <jrib> [Toto]: did you ever create firewall rules?  « sudo iptables -L » will list them
[03:12] <[Toto]>  telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 143
[03:12] <[Toto]> Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...

[03:12] <[Toto]> http://pastie.org/4381603
[03:13] <jrib> [Toto]: you have no firewall rules.
[03:13] <[Toto]> and then whats could be the problem with the ports
[03:13] <usr13> jrib: What is he trying to do?
[03:13] <jrib> [Toto]: probably misconfigured application
[03:14] <jrib> usr13: I have no idea
[03:14] <trakinas> night. all!
[03:16] <trakinas> chrome 20 is not listing pepper as a flash plugin, rather, it is using "libflashplayer.so". How can I set it to use pepper? with the current plugin I cannot play any kind of flash
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> trakinas: uninstall the flash packages you have installed may help
[03:17] <usr13> trakinas: I dono.  I use firefox, not chrome
[03:18] <trakinas> usr13: Im having the same problem on FF, so Im trying with Chrome and its built-in flash
[03:18] <usr13> trakinas: Well, it's not the browser, it's the flashplayer so...
[03:18] <L3top> trakinas: you will need to create a symlink. Chances are within the chrome subdir there is a symlink to something that symlinks to libflashplayer.so. Interrupt it there.
[03:18] <trakinas> L3top: good one. let me check that.

[03:21] <trakinas> thanks, anyway.
[03:22] <DJRWolf> I'm about to upgrade my desktop from dual boot ubuntu 10.10/win7 to ubuntu 12.04/win7, when I did the 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade my MBR was messed up and selecting win7 would loop back to grub and had to restore from backup MBR, is there anything I should do to make sure I can recover before I upgrade my ubuntu like make sure the MBR is backed up?
[03:22] <schultza> how do i configure ubuntu to be a server rather than a desktop?
[03:23] <cfhowlett> schultza: delete your DM?
[03:23] <jrib> schultza: server of what...
[03:23] <schultza> basic server install
[03:23] <DJRWolf> schultza download ubuntu server iso I would think
[03:23] <trakinas> schultza: this is rather a broad question. like jrib said, server of what?
[03:23] <schultza> id rather not download the other iso
[03:23] <usr13> DJRWolf: Prolly won't happen again so....
[03:23] <cfhowlett> schultza: that's just lazy
[03:23] <trakinas> schultza: what do you want to serve?
[03:24] <schultza> nevermind.. ill look online ...
[03:25] <jrib> schultza: if you want to serve web pages, then you install a web server (like apache or lightppd).  If you want to serve something else, etc.
[03:25] <jrib> lighttpd -- oops
[03:25] <trakinas> schultza: dude, you want a file server? an web server? a network server? a proxy server? a local file server?
[03:26] <AndChat39444> Try ehcp
[03:26] <schultza> is there a default install from the ubuntu server iso (if yes, that is the setup i want to turn this into without having to download another iso )
[03:26] <trakinas> schultza: "I want to make my desktop a server" is really too broad.
[03:26] <usr13> DJRWolf: Wait.... You say you are going to upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04?  What about 11.04 & 11.10?
[03:26] <schultza> in fact, i want to uninstall the gui.. it's not needed for a server
[03:26] <jrib> schultza: desktop and server are the same except they have different packages installed by default
[03:27] <schultza> yes...
[03:27] <DJRWolf> after the MBR annyance from 10.04 to 10.10 I decided to just wait for the next LTS before upgrading
[03:27] <DJRWolf> annoyance*
[03:27] <OerHeks> 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04
[03:29] <the4tress> how can i make it so i can access www.the4tress.net (external server) when my local DNS domain is also the4tress.net? i only want to forward www.the4tress.net to an external IP
[03:29] <L3top> DJRWolf: you could go from LTS to LTS. You cannot go from 1004 to 1010 to 1204. See OerHeks explanation. You have a much longer road to go because you went to 1010
[03:29] <trakinas> schultza: I really think is a better a idea to make a fresh install, if you really want to build a server.
[03:29] <usr13> DJRWolf: But you left LTS when you went from 10.04 to 10.10.
[03:29] <schultza> fine... this project will have to wait until next weekend... it'll take me forever to download another iso
[03:29]  * L3top agrees with trakinas
[03:30] <trakinas> the4tress: Im not sure if that is possible. but I may be really wrong.
[03:30] <usr13> DJRWolf: You should have waited and upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04.  You must have manually changed from LTS to next release.  Right?
[03:30] <the4tress> trakinas, i was able to do in in Windows Server 2008 using a conditional forwarder, is that something that i can do in Linux?
[03:31] <escapeplan> How do I untar tintwizard using the terminal ?
[03:31] <usr13> DJRWolf: And now, you are on a version that reached EOL  3 months ago
[03:31] <trakinas> the4tress: if you say you can do that in win2008, you can do that on windows. my ignorance, though, cant let me help you.
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> escapeplan: sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip-rar p7zip-full unp
[03:32] <base> Hey just wanted to say unity blows.
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> escapeplan: then simply run:  unp filename.rar
[03:32] <usr13> DJRWolf: And I hope it is fully updated because an upgrade may not work well if it's not.
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> base: woop
[03:32] <trakinas> escapeplan: tar -xzf the_dam_file.tar.gz
[03:32] <DJRWolf> I plan on formatting the linux partition and installing from a thumb drive
[03:32] <trakinas> escapeplan: tar -xjf the_dam_file.tar.bzip2
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> base: if we all came in and wrote what we all think blows, the channel would be unusable
[03:32] <DJRWolf> or do I need to do 11.04 and 11.10 first?
[03:32] <trakinas> you can add an 'v' before the 'f' for verbose mode
[03:33] <KAPITALISMUSS> steam blows
[03:33] <L3top> DJRWolf: <OerHeks> 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04
[03:33] <trakinas> baloons blows.
[03:34] <base> Understood. I will refrain from any further statements. Unity blows.
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> base: you don't have to use it
[03:34] <DJRWolf> so I can't just format the linux partition and install 12.04?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> trakinas: it's a rar file
[03:34] <usr13> base: What makes you think we are interested in seeing you say the same thing over and over?
[03:34] <usr13> DJRWolf: Sure you can.
[03:34] <hwkiller-netbook> Because he's *attempting* to troll.
[03:35] <hwkiller-netbook> Unfortunately, he's poor at it.
[03:35] <KAPITALISMUSS> ~i thought "blows" as a good thing
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> base: just install a different shell, or even a different DE and it won't run. Or clean install Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu and it won't even be installed.
[03:35] <L3top> KAPITALISMUSS: being that valve has admitted linux runs faster... http://www.geekosystem.com/valve-games-run-faster-linux/      I am quite fond of it lately.
[03:35] <trakinas> I see. so, escapeplan, use unrar/unrar-nonfree x filename.rar
[03:36] <L3top> DJRWolf: that is the ideal situation.
[03:36] <GateCrasher> Hi, would someone be able to help me? I am trying to burn 12.04 to a CD, but the iso size ends up being bigger than what a CD-R can hold. Any advice?
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> GateCrasher: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[03:36] <L3top> GateCrasher: that does not make sense... please check the md5sum.
[03:37] <KAPITALISMUSS> zombie tux is faster that zombie butter flies
[03:37] <L3top> !md5sum
[03:37] <L3top> !ot | KAPITALISMUSS
[03:37] <DJRWolf> so format the partition and then install 12.04 is ideal? no problems with grub?
[03:37] <n0sq> what media player set top boxes are available?
[03:37] <trakinas> n0sq: what do you mean?
[03:38] <L3top> DJRWolf: the installer on the iso will do the formatting for you. You might want to backup your /home dir first and move it back when done.
[03:38] <n0sq> i want to stream video to my tv
[03:38] <KAPITALISMUSS> L3top: why do you start your sentences with ! ?
[03:38] <KAPITALISMUSS> the ! should come last
[03:38] <usr13> L3top: How do we know he doen't have a separate partition for /home/ ?
[03:38] <L3top> n0sq: there are any number of ways to do that. If you just want a media player I believe xbmc is in the repo now.
[03:39] <trakinas> KAPITALISMUSS: if you are not being sarcastic, ! indicates a bot command.
[03:39] <L3top> KAPITALISMUSS: this tells the bot to spit factoids
[03:39] <L3top> usr13: I don't... it should be self evident if he does.
[03:39] <usr13> ... just FYI...
[03:40] <DJRWolf> backup of userdata in /home already done, but always good to remind :)
[03:40] <KAPITALISMUSS> !top
[03:40] <L3top> usr13: I mean only that that doesn't happen by accident or automation. I didn't think explaining that if you had purposefully set a separate partition with home on it, that you would follow that advice, as it would have been done for this purpose.
[03:41] <DJRWolf> ok, well, I'll still be in here on my laptop if things go south, time to go try it out (roll's 2D20)
[03:41] <L3top> !botabuse > KAPITALISMUSS
[03:41] <the4tress> if i add an A record to my dns zone for www, will it forward to a WAN IP?
[03:41] <usr13> L3top: But it can be done after the fact as well.
[03:41] <KAPITALISMUSS> the bot is typing from Newark
[03:41] <L3top> I dont understand usr13.
[03:42] <usr13> L3top: ... in preparation for a distribution upgrade.
[03:42] <L3top> KAPITALISMUSS: Do you have a support question?
[03:42] <the4tress> so if i do www             IN      A       <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:42] <the4tress> , will it forward to that internet ip?
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> escapeplan: all ok now?
[03:42] <caixa> is it possible to get the chrome aura de on ubuntu?
[03:42] <trakinas> the4tress: I believe blind9 uses the same kind of records / rules as other DNS servers. so, if you used this kind of record on win2008 to forward thngs, I believe it will work.
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> caixa: possible, yes
[03:43] <L3top> usr13: he is wanting to do a fresh install of 1204 rather than upgrade through 3 versions... I do not believe that there can be an after the fact if it has not already been done for this purpose. Perhaps I misunderstand.
[03:43] <the4tress> trakinas, yeah, i'm using bind9 but it isnt working
[03:43] <the4tress> holy crap
[03:43] <usr13> L3top: Never mind...
[03:43] <the4tress> i dont think my dns server is working at all
[03:44] <the4tress> it is just forwarding
[03:44] <trakinas> bind9 is kinda hard to get it to work, but it is a bliss when it is done.
[03:44] <usr13> the4tress: You have a nameserver?
[03:44] <the4tress> usr13, i have a bind9 dns server, is that what you mean?
[03:45] <usr13> the4tress: You have a caching name server running?  Why isn't it on your router?
[03:45] <the4tress> usr13, how do i know if i have a nameserver? would i have set that up in /etc/bind/named.conf?
[03:45] <[Toto]> 111 : Connection refused IMAP hmm
[03:45] <usr13> ... never mind ....
[03:46] <the4tress> argh!
[03:46] <cfhowlett> *finally*
[03:48] <the4tress> trakinas, so i should be able to ping server.the4tress.net (my local server) and get a result, but i get unknown host

[03:50] <DJRWolf> ok, I started to go though the install menu's and one of the options is to upgrade 10.10 to 12.04, I'm still thinking format and clean install is better option less likly to cause a problem, right?
[03:51] <cfhowlett> DJRWolf: clean install is the way to go
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: you will need to clean install to go fro Maverick to Precise in one move
[03:51] <cfhowlett> DJRWolf: assuming you have  dedicated /home partition do NOT format it...
[03:53] <DJRWolf> ActionParsnip the GUI installer is giving me an option to upgrade 10.10 to 12.04
[03:53] <DJRWolf> but will go with clean anyway
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: it will but it will cause issues
[03:55] <L3top> DJRWolf: again... if you have a lot of data on your current install... you would be wise to copy off your /home partition someplace. This will preserve the most important things.

[03:56] <dikim33> Hi, can anyone please tell me how to start "port map-wait" service?
[03:57] <DJRWolf> ActionParsnip but there is a difference between "need to go" and "would want to go", saying need to is implying 10.10 to 12.04 is totally impossible, sorry about being picky but my parents have drilled grammer like that into me
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: its possible, just not supported
[03:58] <L3top> dikim33: I am unfamiliar with that service... put typically you start a service with sudo service <name> start... however I am unaware of a service with a space.
[03:59] <dikim33> L3top: yes, but I need its specific parameter value (e.g., the value of WAITER)
[03:59] <L3top> DJRWolf: it is a particularly error prone process, and anything you run into we will be unable to help you with.
[03:59] <L3top> dikim33: is this some sort of POS software?
[04:00] <logost> Could someone advise me how to install mplayer 32bit on my 64bit install? Perhaps a link to a guide. My google fu comes up short.
[04:00] <dikim33> L3top: it is a part of NFS program. I don't know what POS means here.
[04:01] <L3top> (POS = Point Of Sale... not the other acronym) IE restaurant/cashier software.)
[04:02] <dikim33> L3top: thanks.
[04:05] <wolfric> what software handles network configuration on install of ubuntu?

[04:05] <meadhikari> hi all, is there any easy solution to equally distribute bandwidth among all the connected IPs
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> meadhikari: could setup a trickle server

[04:11] <trakinas> chrome, definitely, decided not to load its own built-in flash.
[04:12] <trakinas> Ive removed every other flash package and checked if there were any missing/broken link. ]
[04:12] <trakinas> any suggestion?
[04:14] <DJRWolf> reboot after install and error, "grub_divmod64_full" and on grub rescue prompet, I think I saw something about grub going onto the 500gb HDD when the 320gb is the drive with the OS's on it
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> trakinas: is it chome or chromium?
[04:16] <trakinas> AcidRain2012: Chrome. (google-chrome-stable)

[04:17] <njr> Hi, On my toshiba satellite L655, If  I log in when a USB keyboard is connectected and Dual monitors are setup, XOrg gets messed up: the desktop brackgound shows up, but tiled accross the screens. This did not happen on 11.10
[04:18] <njr> Any idea what the problem could be?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> njr: are there bugs reported?
[04:20] <DJRWolf> just finished reading forum thread, should I try to purge and reinstall grub?
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: you can do it from liveCD: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: you can also update the OS in the chroot as well, dead handy
[04:22] <DJRWolf> ActionParsnip thanks

[04:25] <Xbilprl> hi
[04:25] <arooni-mobile> where i do need to put my generated ssl keys?  in /etc/ssl?  (for nginx)
[04:25] <njr>  ActionParsnip: not that I'm aware of. I'll file one now
[04:29] <drape> any cgroup experts around?  i've been using libcgroup, etc for a while w/11.04 without any issues but 12.04 is giving me grief.  ie: after mounting a cpu cgroup, then creating a new container i can't change any of the params... echo 256 > container/cpu.shares fails w/permission denied.  any ideas?
[04:30] <L3top> drape: I would try sudo... truth be told having no idea what you are doing... permission denied should be solved with sudo.
[04:32] <drape> L3top: yea, tried that :)
[04:33] <L3top> drape: container/ assumes that you are in the directory where the container/cpu.shares file exists
[04:35] <drape> L3top: yep.  i've setup cgroups on a lot of 11.04 systems w/o issues.  something weird is going on w/12.04
[04:36] <bz> guys, guys
[04:36] <bz> there's a null pointer on my window
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> drape: you'll need:  echo "256" | sudo tee container/cpu.shares
[04:36] <bz> i'm so scared, whatshould i do?
[04:37] <L3top> darnit drape... ActionParsnip is correct again. I keep forgetting that.
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> L3top: yeah the whole redirect not liking sudo is annoying
[04:38] <drape> whoa
[04:39] <drape> ActionParsnip: that worked... ugh, why?
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> drape: permissions
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> drape: sudo doesn't traverse the redirection
[04:39] <L3top> echo does not traverse the sudo command over redirect. It is a security thing.
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> drape: so you have to echo and pipe to sudo tee to overcome
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> drape: you can run:  sudo -i   first, then the command as you expect and it will work as both halves run as root
[04:41] <MaskedStan> hello
[04:41] <MaskedStan> what is ubuntu
[04:42] <MaskedStan> hello
[04:42] <BluesKaj> !ubuntu | MaskedStan
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> !ubuntu
[04:43] <MaskedStan> sounds cool
[04:43] <MaskedStan> is it better than windows 7?
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> MaskedStan: depends on situation, sometimes yes, sometimes no
[04:45] <BluesKaj> MaskedStan, better is a relative word , you have to decide , obviously we here like it's benefits
[04:45] <DJRWolf> ActionParsnip that video looks like it is for single boot ubuntu, for my dual boot do I have it put grub on my windows or linux partition? also since it is a freash install, would reinstalling ubuntu and selecting the correct drive to put grub on fix this problem easier?
[04:45] <MaskedStan> what are the benefits?
[04:46] <drape> thx for the help ActionParsnip, L3top.
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: did you instal with wubi?
[04:46] <MaskedStan> is it for hackers?
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> MaskedStan: there are network tools for any OS
[04:47] <BluesKaj> my advice is to try the live -cd and find out for yourself , MaskedStan , no it's not a hacker OS
[04:47] <DJRWolf> no, Ubuntu's native installer from live USB stick
[04:47] <MaskedStan> anonymous and all that
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: then the fact you dual boot is irrelevant, just mount your system partition and use the commands to chroot to it
[04:48] <arooni-mobile> i'm seeing "The site's security certificate is not trusted!" after following a guide on slicehost.  i generated a ssl cert with startssl... not sure what i need to check next.  nginx and ubuntu 10.04
[04:50] <DJRWolf> ok, so to confirm, mount the linux partition on my 320gb drive and follow the commands on the video, do I need to do anything with the 500gb drive that I had selected to put grub durring install? (did not notice that until after I clicked "next" but before screen cleared)
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: once you get chrooted, you can run the grub install using and drive you like
[04:54] <DJRWolf> ok, thanks
[04:57] <howdy> hello. have i connected proprerly?
[04:58] <L3top> To irc... yes howdy
[04:58] <lodder> is it possible to debug a init script? I always get a fail while launching the sabnzbdplus init.d script even with root chuid
[04:58] <howdy> cool. thanks.
[04:59] <serdotlin> hi i'm using lubuntu with compiz and emerald, but the run dialog box didn't show up after pressing alt+f2?
[04:59] <L3top> lodder: I would need more information. Please post the error.
[04:59] <L3top> serdotlin: what version? lsb_release -sc
[05:00] <serdotlin> l3top: 12.04
[05:00] <lodder> L3top: nevermind
[05:00] <serdotlin> L3top:12.04 precise
[05:02] <L3top> serdotlin: I don't believe emerald exists in 1204... how did you install?
[05:02] <L3top> !find emerald
[05:02] <howdy> can i ask questions about ubuntu 10 and 12 in here?
[05:03] <L3top> serdotlin: give me the exact output of lsb_release -a
[05:03] <sergiu-dev> wat is the most  lightweight linux desk
[05:03] <sergiu-dev>  lightweight DE
[05:03] <gry> lxde
[05:04] <L3top> howdy: you can ask a question about any supported distro in here
[05:04] <gry> sergiu-dev: xfce is another light one although statistics shows it's slightly slower
[05:04] <serdotlin> L3top: No LSB modules are available.
[05:04] <serdotlin> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[05:04] <serdotlin> Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[05:04] <serdotlin> Release:	12.04
[05:04] <serdotlin> Codename:	precise
[05:04] <sergiu-dev> xfce is like windows xp?
[05:04] <FloodBot1> serdotlin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:04] <sergiu-dev> :)
[05:04] <howdy> oh cool. thanks. just making sure im in the right room : )
[05:04] <L3top> serdotlin: lubuntu would be the lightest weight. xubuntu would be close
[05:05] <sergiu-dev> !ping
[05:05] <serdotlin> L3top: i'm already using Lubuntu 12.04...yeah tried Xubuntu, but lubuntu much more lighter...
[05:05] <gry> sergiu-dev: all the des have some similarity to windows, you'd probably want to try a few to see which feels more like what you used in windows.. they're all just a few tens of megabytes or something, fairly easy to install imo
[05:06] <sergiu-dev> gry, no , i meant if it's  lightweight like xp
[05:06] <L3top> There is something even lighter... but... if lsb_release -a does not produce a result... you are on something else.
[05:06] <gry> sergiu-dev: 'xubuntu-desktop' or 'lubuntu-desktop' or 'kubuntu-desktop' (the latter is kubuntu - the ubuntu flavour with kde)
[05:06] <howdy> is it a straight forward process to dual boot ubuntu 10 with 12 with each being given its own hard drive? can someone steer to a helpful link? pls : )
[05:06] <L3top> sergiu-dev: xp is not lightweight.
[05:07] <gry> sergiu-dev: I'd say the default ubuntu is more lightweight already (i.e. with gnome)
[05:07] <sergiu-dev> the default ubuntu, is like windows 7
[05:07] <sergiu-dev> :)
[05:07] <NullCity> I need help!
[05:07] <L3top> howdy: there is 10.04 and 10.10. the latter no longer supported... and 12.04 and 12.10.
[05:07] <NullCity> Can somebody help me with a problem I just recently made?
[05:07] <NullCity> I decided to convert jre-7u5-linux.rpm into a .deb file using alien
[05:07] <NullCity> Once i installed it
[05:08] <NullCity> E: The package jre needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[05:08] <L3top> sergiu-dev: there are heaps of desktop environments (DEs)
[05:08] <gry> sergiu-dev: mind I didn't see a fresh xp install in  a lon g time, so my view may be slightly inaccurate - especially as it differs for different hardware; as mentioned earlier, trying a few starting with xfce and lxde could be a good plan
[05:08] <NullCity> Now  my whole Debian index system is broken and I have the package file!!!
[05:08] <howdy> thanks L3top. if i need to use ubuntu 10. would i be better off using ubuntu 10.04 instead of 10.10?

[05:10] <NullCity> Sorry its just im so scared right now as I know what I was doing when using alien to convert a java 7 rpm file to a deb file
[05:10] <NullCity> But now i dont know
[05:10] <sergiu-dev> There isn't some DVD with all K,X,U distro on one DVD to download?
[05:10] <serdotlin> is there any workaround to get alt+f2 run dialog box working under lubuntu compiz+emerald?
[05:10] <NullCity> Eversince my pacakge index broke
[05:10] <NullCity> serdotlin: Whats yuor ubuntu version?
[05:10] <DJRWolf> 10.04 has 2 different support dates, desktop April 2013, server April 2015
[05:10] <NullCity> your**
[05:11] <L3top> !patience | NullCity
[05:11] <sergiu-dev> To not make 3 CDs
[05:11] <NullCity> If its GNOME 2+ Then you should be able to use the run dialog by pressing Alt + F2
[05:11] <sergiu-dev> Is there A DVD with all edition of ubuntu for possible to witch one to install
[05:11] <DJRWolf> they unified the support for 12.04, both get 5 years instead of just the server

[05:11] <L3top> !rpm | NullCity
[05:11] <howdy> L3top. yeah right. thats ok. it just that i have a 10.10 distro i was given years ago. and i have downloaded 12.
[05:12] <NullCity> Ben64: I've been trying to
[05:12] <NullCity> Ben64: I have the package file still but it claims that it cant find the package file to remove it
[05:12] <Ben64> jre is available in the repositories
[05:12] <NullCity> Not the Java 7 one
[05:12] <serdotlin> NullCity: lubuntu 12.04....on openbox it's working, but when switch to compiz, didn't work...
[05:12] <Ben64> java 7 is available from oracle
[05:13] <L3top> There is no java 7 package for 1204.
[05:13] <NullCity> serdotlin: try to check if works with other window managers like metacity mutter openbox emerald, and other ones
[05:13] <NullCity> Ben64: I got it from java.com
[05:13] <Ben64> don't need package for java 7
[05:13] <NullCity> http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en
[05:13] <kyle__> Hum.  There's a package I want to install that shows up on ubuntu site, but doesn't show in my apt-cache.
[05:13] <L3top> NullCity: you will have to download it from oracle
[05:13] <Ben64> can just unpack and use locally
[05:13] <NullCity> But I want to fix my debian package system first
[05:13] <kyle__> Can someone else with 12.04 try and apt-cache search shogun for me, and tell me if they see a shogun-octave package?
[05:13] <NullCity> sudo apt-get install -f hasn't worked since it wasn't able to find it
[05:13] <L3top> what package kyle__
[05:14] <kyle__> I'm trying to figure out if it's ubuntu or just my laptop...
[05:14] <Sinusoidal> Hi I just installed ubuntu. I would like to become a pro master elite hacker at this thing, any tips?
[05:14] <kyle__> L3top: shogun-octave-modular
[05:14] <howdy> does anyone know of any links for harddrive and partitition setup for dual boot ubuntu?
[05:14] <gry> kyle__: I don't see it, are you using a ppa?
[05:14] <L3top> kyle__: there is no such thing in 1204. apt-cache search shogun
[05:14] <NullCity> Should I check if sudo dpkg -r jre-1.7.0._05.deb <<<
[05:15] <NullCity> If ti works?
[05:15] <NullCity> it**
[05:15] <kyle__> Sinusoidal: Find the docs directory, read all of them.  See how to control linux using echo instead of the little helper functions.
[05:15] <serdotlin> NullCity: lubuntu with openbox, it's working but didn't work with compiz or emerald
[05:15] <kyle__> L3top: Weird.  I see several shogun packages, but not that one.
[05:15] <Ben64> NullCity: sure
[05:15] <gry> howdy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[05:15] <L3top> Sinusoidal: read. That is all.
[05:15] <L3top> kyle__: that was why I suggested the search. There is no such animal.
[05:15] <kyle__> gry: Not using a ppa, the launchpad page claims it's in the repos (unless I'm reading it way wrong)
[05:16] <gry> !info shogun-octave-modular
[05:16] <gry> nope
[05:16] <NullCity> Ben64: I got this now http://pastie.org/4382087
[05:16] <NullCity> It says that I need to reinstall it, but when I try to, it says it cant find the package then aborts.
[05:16] <Sinusoidal> Im trying to read but I would like to start finding out about how those directories work, like /lib/, /usr/ /local/ etc
[05:16] <Sinusoidal> is there any way to get a broad overview of this?
[05:16] <kyle__> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/shogun-octave-modular
[05:16] <bz> .lastlog hacker
[05:17] <kyle__> L3top: Doesn't that page say it should be in the repos?
[05:17] <NullCity> Should I reinstall ubuntu completely? I think I started an error loop
[05:17] <L3top> Sinusoidal: this is not the channel to "teach you to hack" or understand the linux subsystem. This is an Ubuntu support channel, for those having issues with ubuntu specific problems
[05:17] <Ben64> NullCity: sudo dpkg --force -P jre-1.7.0._05.deb
[05:17] <L3top> kyle__: that is a PPA... has nothing to do with canonical
[05:17] <howdy> thanks gry. but im not wanting to dual boot with windows. i want to dualboot 2 ubuntu versions. i just get confused when it comes to mounting. root and folder names for each install.
[05:17]  * kyle__ looks again
[05:17] <L3top> !ppa | kyle__
[05:18] <Sinusoidal> L3top: oh ok. What channel should I go to?
[05:18] <bz> i'm detecting a sudden spike in hacketry
[05:18] <kyle__> L3top: Didn't realize the + was for ppas.
[05:18] <gry> kyle__: the way I see it it was in a previous release but isn't in 12.04 anymore (although I haven't found why it was removed yet)
[05:18] <sergiu-dev> Is the needed to install propreetary drivers for videocard to play video games?:)
[05:19] <L3top> Sinusoidal: chances are your notion of hacking is very different than mine. I am not here to serve what I expect yours is.
[05:19] <Ben64> sergiu-dev: almost always, yes
[05:19] <NullCity> Ben64: It says unknown operation force operation -P
[05:19] <NullCity> But when I do dpkg --help
[05:19] <kyle__> gry: Sucks, because the matlab code that comes with most books on classifiers runs horribly in octave, and shogun is supposed to be pretty sweet.
[05:19] <NullCity> It shows -P (--purge) in the list
[05:19] <Ben64> NullCity: try without the force then
[05:20] <kyle__> L3top: I was willfully interpeting hacking as clever coding/ knowing the system at a very deep level/knowing how to fix a busted system with nothing more than echo and grep.
[05:20] <sergiu64> sd
[05:20] <L3top> kyle__: read. This is not the channel for that.
[05:20] <NullCity> Ben64: It says Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[05:20] <NullCity> it says I should reinstall it before removal
[05:20] <L3top> kyle__: try #linux
[05:20] <gry> kyle__: You might want to poke #octave / #shogun / ##matlab then?
[05:21] <Ben64> NullCity: sudo dpkg --force-all -P jre-1.7.0._05.deb
[05:21] <L3top> Sorry kyle__ got you confused with Sinusoidal
[05:21] <kyle__> gry: Eh, I'll just compile.
[05:21] <NullCity> Ben64: its now purging by force
[05:21] <kyle__> L3top: NP, I figured it was either that, or you were way to grumpy.
[05:22] <NullCity> Let me check if it works again
[05:22] <gry> kyle__: probably a good plan, there's also a https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+package/shogun-octave-modular but I imagine it would be ancient
[05:23] <kyle__> gry: I just need something that will do svms with a kernel method so I can get the shape of my final down.
[05:23] <NullCity> Ben64: Okay it works again thanks! :)
[05:24] <L3top> kyle__: I am grumpy... but your answer sounded like what I wanted to hear, after asking me how to hack... only... more clever than the conversation began... so I was a bit confused... lol. Simply using linux is hacking. Forcing hardware to do something other than it was intended (run a specific OS). Sorry for the confusion.
[05:25] <kyle__> L3top: Np.  Actually sometmies the lack of friction using modern ubuntu makes me miss the old days when you sometimes had to hack to get your ethernet card to work how you wanted.
[05:25] <Ben64> NullCity: cool. now if you want jre, do it a nicer way :)
[05:26] <L3top> It is a delicate balance kyle__. I believe we are on the same page.
[05:26]  * kyle__ nods
[05:26] <kyle__> I think so L3top
[05:29] <NullCity> Ben64: I think Im not downloading jre 1.7 (java 7) from java.com anymore,  because of what just happened recently.
[05:29] <Ben64> NullCity: just get the tgz and install locally
[05:31] <NullCity> Ben64: Yea, I'm not gonna use .rpm packages of java because they dont currently offer .deb packages
[05:31] <Ben64> yeah, rpm isn't usually a good idea on ubuntu
[05:32] <NullCity> Thats I was glad that rpm actually detects if your on a debian system (like Ubuntu) before installing.
[05:32] <NullCity> Because if it didn't, imagine what would've happen when I did "sudo rpm -i jre-7u5-linux.rpm"
[05:33] <NullCity> And sometimes alien fails on making some rpm packages into debian packages.
[05:33] <tfhlap> hi, my sound was working perfectly, and then I was trying to raise the volume, and it went off, I can't hear anything except mpg321, any ideas?
[05:34] <NullCity> tfhlap: What sound server are you using?
[05:34] <tfhlap> NullCity how can I tell?
[05:34] <tfhlap> NullCity I think alsa
[05:35] <NullCity> tfhlap: Try doing running "cd /usr/bin" then "find pulseaudio"
[05:36] <L3top> tfhlap: in terminal type alsamixer. You will have a master volume, and a control for your analog speakers...
[05:36] <NullCity> L3top: but dont you have to select your sound card before running that?
[05:37] <L3top> NullCity: if he had audio prior to hitting the vol ctrl... it IS selected
[05:37] <kyle__> Ahh, ./configure && make -j4.  When you work, everything JUST WORKS.
[05:37] <kyle__> gnight all, back to coding
[05:38] <tfhlap> L3top, ok i'm inside alsamixer (I think that is where I messed it up - I tried to increase the volume, and lost the sound)
[05:38] <tfhlap> L3top now inside alsa mixer, what should I do?
[05:38] <tfhlap> L3top master is on max
[05:38] <NullCity> tfhlap: Use the arrow keys to set the volume
[05:38] <NullCity> tfhlap: up arrow is to raise the volume, down arrow key is to lower it
[05:39] <L3top> tfhlap: you will have a master control... and then one of the others will adjust the output control for your device
[05:39] <tfhlap> L3top, NullCity, ok I got that, I have Master, Headphone, Speaker, PCM all on max
[05:39] <L3top> tfhlap: if MM is at the bottom of one of those mixers, that means it is muted. You highlight it with left right keys and press the letter m to unmut
[05:39] <tMH> hello *. what editor can perform numeric sort _except_ vim?;)
[05:40] <tMH> thanks in advance
[05:40] <tMH> text editor
[05:40] <tMH> under unix.
[05:40] <L3top> tMH: Your question does not exactly make sense. Please give details.
[05:40] <tMH> other words, what unix text editor except vim can do numeric soft ?
[05:40] <tMH> L3top - it's ok now?:)
[05:40] <NullCity> tMH: Try nano
[05:41] <tMH> NullCity - will do, thanks!
[05:41] <NullCity> tMH: Your welcome.
[05:41] <NullCity> This feels like customer support chat for me somehow.
[05:42] <tfhlap> L3top I don't have anything wit MM in alsamixer, as master, headphone, speaker, pcm are on maximum, still can't hear anything apart from mpg321
[05:42] <L3top> tfhlap: please tell me the output device, and explain how it is connected, ie cable type or internal speaker... etc
[05:43] <tfhlap> L3top it's a laptop - built in
[05:43] <tMH> NullCity - ghm. cannot find 'sort' keyword in help in nano..
[05:43] <L3top> tfhlap: so it is a laptop, with internal speakers?
[05:43] <zwirc> Hi
[05:44] <cfhowlett> zwirc: greetings.
[05:44] <zwirc> Aint tightvnc aviable anymore for ubuntu?
[05:44] <cc11rocks> Anyone have any downsides to tell me before I make my final decision to buy the System76 Lemur Ultra?
[05:44] <tfhlap> L3top yes exactly - and as mpg321 works, I don't think it's any physical problem
[05:44] <cc11rocks> I know that battery life may not be so great (3.5-4 hrs is what I've been)
[05:44] <cc11rocks> Anything else?
[05:44] <L3top> tfhlap: what doesn't work, via what application
[05:44] <NullCity> tMH: Wait did you check nano --help to find a sort keyword or did you run the program then checked on the bottom?
[05:44] <zwirc> or is it any other VNC i sould use?
[05:45] <cc11rocks> And what is the name of the channel where I can ask dev questions?
[05:45] <tfhlap> L3top say webbrowser (youtube etc), even the sound control of the laptop - which makes a sound when I raise the volume, I can't hear it
[05:45] <cfhowlett> cc11rocks: #ubuntu-devel
[05:45] <NullCity> ^
[05:45] <L3top> tfhlap: flash is special. Anything else?
[05:45] <cc11rocks> Thanks cfhowlett
[05:46] <zwirc> :)
[05:46] <tfhlap> L3top   the sound control of the laptop - which makes a sound when I raise the volume, I can't hear it
[05:46] <L3top> tfhlap: please give me a pastebin of sudo aplay -l
[05:46] <zwirc> Anyone up for helping me with that one?
[05:47] <cfhowlett> zwirc: lemur 76, right?
[05:47] <zwirc> hum?
[05:47] <cfhowlett> zwirc: nev mind.
[05:47] <willyg_cos_> zwirc: How about nxmachine ??
[05:47] <zwirc> ok :P Im trying to install vnc, but first i sould have a GUI, right? So i do a install of gnome-core i guess?
[05:48] <tMH> NullCity - did read help inside nano, of course;) wait, I'll run nano --help now ;P)
[05:48] <L3top> zwirc: you have not expressed an actual question... and you have not done so in like 5 posts. It is beyond my willingness to decipher.
[05:48] <tfhlap>   L3top http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126520/
[05:48] <zwirc> Hehe, sorry my lack of english
[05:48] <tMH> NullCity - no use, tho: [03-Aug-12][9:48][280] ~/comp$nano --help | grep -i sort ; [03-Aug-12][9:48][281] ~/comp$
[05:48] <tMH> nano 2.3.1 what I use.
[05:49] <tMH> will try to update if the any of updates.
[05:49] <zwirc> I am trying to install TightVNC; but get a error "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:   libpkcs11-helper1 liblzo2-2 " , so I guess i sould install gnome-core and try again?
[05:49] <NullCity> tMH left me check if there are other text ediots that have  what you want
[05:49] <L3top> tfhlap: sudo speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0,0
[05:49] <tMH> ah, it's the latest. no sort in help, nullcity:)
[05:49] <zwirc> Or do anyone else know how to?
[05:49] <L3top> tfhlap: does that make noise
[05:49] <tMH> NullCity - will wait, thanks!
[05:50] <L3top> zwirc: those packages have nothing to do with what you installed.
[05:50] <tfhlap> L3top ywa
[05:50] <tfhlap> L3top yes it makes a sound
[05:50] <NullCity> tMH turns out nano doesnt have it latest nor any version, so I think other ones should
[05:51] <zwirc> l3top: do you know a guide?
[05:51] <L3top> zwirc: they are simply unnecessary leftovers the system reminds you exist and do not need to. Follow its advice. sudo apt-get clean or autoclean.
[05:51] <NullCity> tMH: try the emacs editor >>> http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
[05:52] <L3top> tfhlap: what application are you trying to open these in that are not playing
[05:53] <NullCity> tMH: Well emacs is GUI-based so I think it might not fit your needs. might not.
[05:54] <NullCity> tMH: emacs can be installed within Ubuntu Software Centre as emacs23, well thats the console one pretty sure, the GUI version is emacs22-gtk
[05:55] <tfhlap> L3top vlc, movie player to give some examples
[05:55] <tfhlap> L3top as I said I can't even hear the sound the computer makes to indicate increase of volume
[05:55] <ghostchick> tfhlap:  tried in alsamixer and pavucontrol ?
[05:56] <tfhlap> L3top ghostchick i got pavucontrol running, I can see the visual effect of sounds, but I can't hear the sound
[05:56] <tMH> NullCity - emacs, heck... ok, thanks anyway!
[05:56] <tMH> good luck:)
[05:56] <NullCity> tMH did it fit your needs?
[05:57] <ghostchick> tfhlap:  unmuted in alsamixer ?
[05:58] <tfhlap> ghostchick yeah... nothing looks muted in alsamixer
[05:59] <tfhlap> ghostchick sound was working fine, and then I was trying to increase the volume, and lost it
[05:59] <tfhlap> I'm not sure what happened
[05:59] <tfhlap> ghostchick is there a way to dump all sound configuration (and volumes ) in text, so I can show you?
[05:59] <Guest1735> hi guys, I have a major problem with ubuntu 12.04 x64. On my sandy bridge laptop, the CPU freq stays at 800MHz permanently, but it can go up to 2.5 GHz ! I've fixed the problem by completly disabling all CPU freq management features in the BIOS, but I'll have battery life problems. Do you know how I can fix this?
[06:00] <DJRWolf> I used StartUp-Manger to tweek my grub back in the days of 10.04 and 10.10, but it looks like the guy who was keeping it up to date quit and no one has picked up the torch, any suggestions on a replacement? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StartUp-Manager
[06:00] <hwkiller-netbook> Guest1735: what is the cpufreq governor in use when cpufreq management is enabled?
[06:04] <philippe_> cpufreqd is not installed, is this normal ?
[06:05] <hwkiller-netbook> Hm, I assume the only reason that even exists is to set the /sys stuff
[06:06] <hwkiller-netbook> if you have no cpufreq* commands, then install cpufreqd.
[06:06] <millun> hi
[06:06] <millun> after dist upg to 12.04 my unity launcher icons are gone
[06:06] <philippe_> i keep etting software crashes lol
[06:06] <millun> tried deleting .compiz-1 folders
[06:06] <millun> no go
[06:07] <hwkiller-netbook> compiz doesn't have anything to do w/ icons
[06:07] <hwkiller-netbook> that comes from your settings in gconf and/or dconf
[06:07] <hwkiller-netbook> ~/.gconf/* and ~/.config/dconf
[06:07] <millun> ah
[06:07] <SnapALoop> Never Drop your phone again. Watch the video its cool. https://snapaloop.com/?&AdGUID=D5289D47-0265-4D3F-8918-C885E047D662&UserGUID=1234DD3D-58E8-4DE6-9DEA-C4942A5AF904
[06:07] <millun> so i should delete those
[06:08] <millun> btw do you know how to enable menu icons? for context stuff?
[06:09] <philippe_> why are all my opengl renderings limited to 60 fps
[06:10] <hwkiller-netbook> well, deleting isn't recommended. Ideally, you'd want to just reset icon settings to default using gsettings, but I'm not on a machine that has it, so I can't find out the proper key
[06:10] <hwkiller-netbook> vsync, philippe_
[06:10] <philippe_> i know it is vsync, but where is it enabled
[06:11] <philippe_> is there any driver settings ? ( i use mesa)
[06:11] <DJRWolf> I used StartUp-Manger to tweek my grub back in the days of 10.04 and 10.10, but it looks like the guy who was keeping it up to date quit and no one has picked up the torch, any suggestions on a replacement?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StartUp-Manager
[06:12] <philippe_> okay, my cpu frequency problem is fixed. I had to install for speedstep to work on a fresh ubuntu 12.04 x64 install : cpufreqd, cpufreq-utils and indicator-cpufreq
[06:13] <philippe_> i don,t even know why thoses arent automatically installed
[06:14] <hwkiller-netbook> cpufreqd is just for setting the governor at boot time I think.
[06:14] <hwkiller-netbook> I recommend using laptop-mode-tools
[06:14] <hwkiller-netbook> much better powersaving with that + cpufreq + powertop
[06:16] <philippe_> well i now have a beautiful cpu freq indicator
[06:16] <philippe_> i consider this problem solved
[06:16] <philippe_> thx for your help and suggestions
[06:16] <millun> hwkiller-netbook: i've googled on askubuntu that i should pick ubuntu2d while logging in
[06:16] <millun> gonna give it a try
[06:17] <philippe_> now, i must find out how to disable vsync
[06:18] <monktoo> If anyone is out there I would like to know how to install ubuntu from source. I want to merge concepts of gentoo and ubuntu
[06:19] <hwkiller-netbook> Oh lord... you don't.
[06:19] <hwkiller-netbook> If you want a source distro, use a source distro.
[06:19] <monktoo> why
[06:19] <hwkiller-netbook> Because ubuntu isn't structured at all like a source-based distro
[06:20] <hwkiller-netbook> whereas gentoo is. the package management IS source
[06:20] <nre> hello
[06:20] <cfhowlett> nre, greetings
[06:20] <nre> i want to work in some open source project ,what can i do?? cfhowlett
[06:21] <cfhowlett> !contribute
[06:21] <cfhowlett> !contribute|nre
[06:21] <monktoo> Ive never tried it but could you have two pagake managers
[06:21] <monktoo> like portage an apt
[06:22] <cfhowlett> monktoo, feasible but inadvisable
[06:23] <monktoo> I would like to have a package support of ubuntu with the security concept of gentoo
[06:23] <DJRWolf> I used StartUp-Manger to tweek my grub back in the days of 10.04 and 10.10, but it looks like the guy who was keeping it up to date quit and no one has picked up the torch, any suggestions on a replacement??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StartUp-Manager
[06:24] <monktoo> chfholett, why wouldnt you use one for source and one for precompiled
[06:26] <cfhowlett> monktoo, as I said, feasible.  At present, all users have the option of using CLI for package management thus invoking apt
[06:26] <gouthu> i am fac ing problem with connecting 3 usb dongles simultaneously on ubuntu 12.04
[06:26] <gouthu> can anyone help?
[06:26] <cfhowlett> *and use Ubuntu software center as well*
[06:26] <monktoo> gouthu check your lsusb
[06:27] <monktoo> see if all three are really connected
[06:28] <gouthu> monktoo: I can do it graphically through the Network Manager, but I'd like to replicate the process on the command line.
[06:28] <monktoo> type in the CLI lsusb or sudo lsusb
[06:29] <magg> hello
[06:29] <aldebaran> <33 ubuntu. just started using it a few days ago
[06:29] <cfhowlett> magg, greetings
[06:29] <magg> i think ubuntu 12.04 is missing a package, libnl3.. how do i report it?
[06:30] <gouthu> monktoo: yeah, i did that.
[06:30] <gouthu> actually, i am able to do it successfully using the NM GUI
[06:31] <gouthu> monktoo: here is the full desciption of the problem im facing along with the errors i encountered.
[06:32] <gouthu> monktoo: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11782321/script-to-connect-multiple-usb-3g-modem

[06:34] <sachael> anyone experiencing crashes of luakit?
[06:35] <sachael> it's my favorite minimalistic browser, but lately it's been very unstable :(
[06:35] <thaicares> s
[06:35] <thaicares> sachael  and what is that?
[06:37] <sachael> thaicares: I don't know what's the problem, im running luakit in a console right now, trying to catch a crash and see if something gets displayed i the console
[06:38] <thaicares> either way could someone inform me what program runs the mail envelope icon in the upper right hand corner ?
[06:38] <z3rongod> hi
[06:38] <hwkiller-netbook> probably evolution
[06:38] <gouthu> anyone knows how to connect multiple 3g modems from the command line?
[06:38] <thaicares> sachael sorry I couldn't help haven't done anything with it...
[06:39] <z3rongod> im trying to get testdisk, im suing ubuntu 12.04 on USB live, it gives me error: unable to locate package testdisk
[06:39] <thaicares> hwkiller-netbook evolution runs the envelope....
[06:39] <KatsumeBlisk> Thunderbird in Ubuntu thaicares
[06:39] <zwirc> Hi. I just installed gnome-core on my server, then tightvnc. But when i start and connect to the server with tightvnc client i just get a white desktop and a message "unable to load "Ubuntu"
[06:39] <KatsumeBlisk> thaicares, I think it also depends. Gwibber might effect it. I'm not sure since I'm not on Ubuntu atm.
[06:40] <hellhammer> I need a way for a remote non-LAN windows machine to access a folder on my ubuntu machine what can help me do this?
[06:40] <hwkiller-netbook> It's an indicator. It gets information from various dbus interfaces, so it's not like a program "runs" it
[06:40] <hellhammer> I need a way for a remote non-LAN windows machine to access a folder on my ubuntu machine what can help me do this?
[06:40] <hwkiller-netbook> It grabs info from gwibber, evolution, empathy, etc
[06:40] <thaicares> KatsumeBlisk that is what I was talking about there has to be a central program that allows you to access both thunderbird and gwibber's tools
[06:40] <z3rongod> Why am i getting unable to locate package error?
[06:41] <DJRWolf> I used StartUp-Manger to tweek my grub back in the days of 10.04 and 10.10, but it looks like the guy who was keeping it up to date quit and no one has picked up the torch, any suggestions on a replacement???? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StartUp-Manager
[06:41] <hwkiller-netbook> No, thaicares, it's not a system tray program. It's just an indicator, which is a dbus service I think.
[06:42] <zwirc> anyone have a tip/solution?
[06:42] <z3rongod> What tool can i use to repair MBR on a hdd?
[06:42] <thaicares> hwkiller-netbook thanks I just wasn't sure how it operated when I first saw it I thought it was brilliant I want to look at using it on a system running trisquel or maybe another distro
[06:43] <hwkiller-netbook> Yeah, it's hard to use indicators in other distros because not many panels have implemented them.
[06:44] <hwkiller-netbook> unity is rather unique in its integration and heavy use of indicators and dbus
[06:45] <thaicares> hwkiller-netbook it is worth a look...
[06:45] <z3rongod> where is administration in UBUNTU 12.04 ?
[06:45] <z3rongod> i can't find software sources in using dashboard or system settings
[06:45] <z3rongod> dash home w/e
[06:46] <hwkiller-netbook> software sources is in the update manager
[06:46] <hwkiller-netbook> hit "settings"
[06:46] <hwkiller-netbook> (I think)
[06:47] <z3rongod> ugh
[06:48] <z3rongod> This computer has only 0 bytes disk space remaining
[06:48] <CommaCrazy> hi all :), I have a bit of a problem, I am running ubuntu with postfix and I ran out of swap space and memory is low, is there a way to safely clean some of the swap or the memory so that I do not have to restart the machine, without losing any valuable info??? if some 1 could point me in the right direction..
[06:48] <z3rongod> And i'm using ubuntu live on flash drive with 2 GB of ram on the machine...
[06:50] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, might be time to clean house a bit. try sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:51] <z3rongod> cfhowlett: reading package lists error
[06:51] <z3rongod> unable to sync mmap - msync no space left ond evice
[06:51] <CommaCrazy> is sync for freeing system buffy and echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches        safe to use on a production machine
[06:51] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, no saved documents or files on this flash drive?
[06:52] <z3rongod> formatted and used the utility to make a bootable flash ubuntu drive, from the 12.04 iso
[06:52] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, recently?
[06:52] <z3rongod> yes
[06:52] <z3rongod> also
[06:52] <z3rongod> when i booted, it wouldnt load and take ages to load
[06:53] <z3rongod> so pressed ESC instinctively
[06:53] <z3rongod> i then saw the console with racing messages, something about and error and much junk for my eyes
[06:53] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, urrrgh!  might have scrambled if you killed it while loading up ....
[06:53] <z3rongod> Is it normal to take ages to boot then?
[06:53] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, my suggestion: make a new drive, use ALL 2 gigs
[06:54] <z3rongod> Use all 2 gigs?
[06:54] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, well, usb is slower than native boot ...
[06:54] <z3rongod> persistent data thing?
[06:54] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, yead, don't use that.
[06:54] <z3rongod> ok
[06:55] <z3rongod> damn
[06:55] <z3rongod> i have to go to work, will follow up tonight
[06:55] <z3rongod> Thanks cfhowlett

[07:22] <M3th4n0l> i tried to follow the tutorual every step here
[07:22] <M3th4n0l> http://scarygliders.net/2011/11/17/x11rdp-ubuntu-11-10-gnome-3-xrdp-customization-new-hotness/
[07:22] <M3th4n0l> but i ended up rdp' to my HTPC BUT my gnome-session refused to start instead a gray wallpaper with some pixels came up and an xterm
[07:22] <fm_> where did the software updater go in ubuntu 12.10 quantal?
[07:22] <M3th4n0l> i dont know why but it's really annoying
[07:23] <DJones> fm_: I'd ask that in #ubuntu+1 with it being a 12.10 query
[07:23] <fm_> thanks DJones
[07:24] <jalexandru> thaicares, I think this is it: http://unity-linux.org/unity-base/
[07:24] <thaicares> thanks so much man!
[07:25] <thaicares> jalexandru except that was unity linux the distro not the desktop...
[07:26] <hydrox24> M3th4n0l: maybe go ask in #linux
[07:26] <Derpian> !unity
[07:26] <hydrox24> M3th4n0l: It's a bit more advanced and they would be more likely to have the knowledge to help
[07:26] <M3th4n0l> hydrox24, why ?
[07:26] <M3th4n0l> ok ok... im using ubuntu 10.10 but okay i will have a look
[07:27] <wilee-nilee> !eol
[07:27] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, ^^^^
[07:27] <M3th4n0l> but i mean, if i followed the tutorial
[07:27] <M3th4n0l> that a guy wrote step by step
[07:28] <M3th4n0l> it should work just fine out of the box.. i mean i know that the problem somewhere is that it refuses sesman xrdp to open a new gnome-session when i login to it
[07:28] <NaHCo3> hi
[07:28] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, you know 10.10 is eol though right?
[07:28] <cfhowlett> NaHCo3, greetings
[07:29] <hydrox24> M3th4n0l: check that versions of all installed and related programs are the same as the tut?
[07:29] <M3th4n0l> wilee-nilee, yes i know
[07:29] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, cool. ;)
[07:30] <M3th4n0l> but still you can use it
[07:30] <M3th4n0l> if you point your sources.list repo lists to old-archive.ubuntu.com
[07:30] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, I would not bother myself, but to each there own.

[07:44] <CreativeRound> how do you get your code from ubuntu server into a github?

[08:08] <bkerensa> !justask | ferni
[08:08] <cfhowlett> cristian_c, greetings
[08:09] <ferni> bkerensa: that was not a question
[08:10] <ferni> just noted what i found and pointed the problem
[08:12] <cristian_c> I've installed easy-deb with virtualenv
[08:13] <cristian_c> I'd like use it the same way of checkinstall
[08:13] <cristian_c> *it in the same
[08:14] <cristian_c> I've found a tutorial-example
[08:15] <cristian_c> I don't know how to adjust the following command in my case:
[08:15] <cristian_c> $ easy-deb -v2.4 -d python-pypi-delegate -D /tmp graph
[08:15] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:19] <MonkeyDust> !find easy-deb

[08:34] <kaddi>  hi, i have a backtrash where the symbols are missing and would like to install the dbg packages for that
[08:34] <kaddi> however i can't seem to figure out which ones I needed
[08:34] <kaddi>  can someone help me identify what I need

[08:37] <shoonya> i just installed gloobus-preview on ubuntu (precise) and unable to get preview working for FLAC files
[08:37] <shoonya> how do i get it working
[08:43] <MonkeyDust> shoonya  i'm not familiar with it, but try to logout and in again to make it work
[08:44] <lochuang> FLAC IS NOT SUPPORTED
[08:44] <lochuang> Audio: mp3 / ogg / midi / 3gp / wav
[08:45] <beygi> hi guys
[08:46] <beygi> is there any script for initializing new created user ?
[08:46] <MonkeyDust> shoonya  the only thing that comes to my mind: FLAC is lossless, not compressed, like WAV, it may be too hard to handle in preview
[08:46] <shoonya> FLAC works on fedora which i was using earlier
[08:49] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: flac is lossless, but it is compressed...
[08:50] <subz3r0> hi
[08:51] <beygi> subz3r0: سلام

[09:00] <fred-fri> i have a script "play" at /home/<user>/play/play that id like to add to PATH, how can i do that?
[09:02] <zh> fred-fri: Add PATH=$PATH:directory to ~/.profile
[09:02] <zykotick9> fred-fri: easiest way would be to create a ~/bin directory, place your script in there - logout/backin - automatically in path
[09:02] <subz3r0> fred-fri, just add the path behind the command? like mplayer -bla -blub /home/videos/video.avi
[09:04] <fred-fri> zh this is what my .profile looks like

[09:07] <d8bhatta> hello guys, how can I print screen when drop down  box is expanded?
[09:08] <beygi> is there any script for initializing new created user ?
[09:08] <d8bhatta> what  combination of key shall be used?
[09:08] <MonkeyDust> d8bhatta  hit the printscreen key on your keyboard
[09:08] <d8bhatta> MonkeyDust,  yes..its obvious...but when drop down is expanded it doesn't work
[09:09] <subz3r0> nvm, about my issue. guess if found the problem. Cryptkeeper was still added under "startprograms"
[09:09] <chuck> d8bhatta: have you tried a snapshot app?
[09:10] <d8bhatta> chuck: is it avail in ubuntu by default or have to download?
[09:10] <chuck> in the repo
[09:10] <chuck> in ubuntu software centre just type in screenshot
[09:11] <chuck> gnome desktop utilities has one, screenie, shutter, kgrab
[09:11] <chuck> there are a few
[09:11] <chuck> they let you even grab just a window if you want
[09:12] <epzil0n> or if you as i like the cli use scrot ;)
[09:12] <fred-fri> after editing .profile, do i need to logout for changes to take effect?
[09:12] <chuck> fred-fri: for the user .profile?
[09:13] <fred-fri> yeah
[09:13] <chuck> fred-fri: oh yeah..of course
[09:13] <fred-fri> serious? thats why its not working

[09:15] <cihhan> Hi all! I have a question. Im running Ubuntu Server without any GUI and I have VMs running (with GUI) with private IP. I want to vnc to the VMs from remote machine and use them with GUI. How can I do that?
[09:16] <The_BROS> What programme with GUI can create ISO-image in Ubuntu?
[09:16] <chuck> The_BROS check out acetoneiso
[09:16] <cfhowlett> The_BROS, startupdiskcreator
[09:17] <MonkeyDust> cihhan  i use vbox too - make sure the virtual machines are in the same network as your physical machines - use bridged instead of NAT to that end
[09:18] <cihhan> MonkeyDust: The problem is the host doesnt have GUI
[09:18] <alankila> cihhan: I've set up ipsec to accomplish this, myself. I push a route to the private LAN of <IP_ADDRESS>/24, which is routed via ipsec.
[09:19] <alankila> I'm not using virtualbox though, just kvm. But there are VNC servers running for every one of the machines nevertheless.
[09:19] <cihhan> alankila: let me check ipsec
[09:19] <chuck> The_BROS: you trying to make an iso from a cd?
[09:20] <cihhan> alankila: I set VNCserver on VMs but when I tried to launch it gave error
[09:20] <cihhan> let me try it again
[09:21] <cihhan> It was giving just grey screen
[09:21] <chuck> The_BROS: for a command line, you can use for example "cat /dev/(your cd rom drive) > /home/(your user name)/test.iso
[09:21] <CommaCrazy> ty MonkeyDust
 yes
[09:21] <Anomie21> Trying to install telnet so I can test postfix but I keep getting this error 'Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/netkit-telnet/telnet_0.17-36_i386.deb  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?' when using sudo apt-get install telnet ??
[09:22] <chuck> means that file doesn't exist on that website
[09:22] <chuck> you may have to get it from somewhere else
[09:22] <chuck> maybe a telnet ppa?
[09:23] <MonkeyDust> is telnet still being used?
[09:23] <chuck> lol
[09:23] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: What else would I use to test postfix?
[09:23] <chuck> this on a 32bit or a 64bit?

[09:25] <sgo11> hi, I am using gnome shell. but all the notification popup windows are in unity style. how can I use gnome shell notification instead of unity notification? thanks.
[09:27] <Anomie21> unidrake: Thats only helpful in diagnosing whether or not you can send mail to the server, not send mail out from the server, AFAIK
[09:28] <chuck> sg011: i would check out in ubuntu software centre gnome shell extension preferences
[09:29] <sgo11> chuck, I found out if I kill notify-osd, the system will use gnome notification instead of unity notification. but why does this app run at the first place if I launch gnome instead of unity?
[09:29] <chuck> sgo11: not sure. i would take it out of the boot services
[09:30] <sgo11> chuck, how to do that properly? thanks.
[09:31] <chuck> sgo11: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/customize-the-ubuntu-notification-bubbles/
[09:32] <sgo11> chuck, thanks. let me see..
[09:32] <chuck> well let me see here
[09:32] <chuck> i think this is for just making them look different
[09:33] <chuck> sgo11: aha...here we go. http://askubuntu.com/questions/13464/how-can-i-customize-disable-notification-bubbles
[09:33] <chuck> down at #5 in the list
[09:33] <chuck> sgo11: actually where it says how to disable them
[09:34] <chuck> sgo11: although im not sure if you turn them off, they would turn off the gnome ones as well
[09:34] <Anomie21> I've found the .deb file for telnet - can that be installed via ssh?
[09:34] <chuck> Anomie21: no..i would use ftp to send it
[09:35] <Anomie21> and then dpkg -i ?
[09:35] <chuck> yeah
[09:35] <chuck> sudo dpkg -i "
[09:37] <sgo11> chuck, thanks. I will try to that and reboot later. :)
[09:37] <chuck> sgo11: edit your org.freedesktop.Notifications.service file and replace notify-osd with the one for gnome
[09:40] <sgo11> chuck, maybe I don't need to replace it with the one for gnome. because gnome one is running by default. as what i said, to use gnome one, simply kill that unity one. I think the two notification programs somehow both run at boot time. very weird. will try to reboot later. since I have some current work to do. :) cheers.
[09:40] <chuck> sgo11 ok take care
[09:41] <sgo11> chuck, thanks. :)

[10:20] <_jeet> geirha : what can be solution then ?
[10:21] <geirha> _jeet: You either need to install the slapd package with the same version, or uninstall libldap-2.4-2, then install slapd
[10:21] <geirha> _jeet: which should grab both packages from the same repository
[10:22] <_jeet> geirha : ok i am trying again after uninstalling
[10:22] <_jeet> i will be here again if i found difficulty
[10:22] <_jeet> Thanks Geirha !
[10:22] <trijntje> Hi all, a large copy operation (>200G) with nautilus got interrupted near the end. What is the best way to resume the copy without re-copying everything?
[10:23] <alankila> trijntje: shell, rsync
[10:23] <alankila> (if nautilus had any sense it would use rsync itself)
[10:24] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  what alankila says, rsync is better for copying large files
[10:24] <trijntje> alankila: thanks, should I just use rscync -P or should I use some other flags?
[10:24] <vmachine> anyone
[10:24] <alankila> I always use rsync -avx myself but it is out of habit more than anything
[10:24] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  rsync has the feature --progress to see it, well, progress
[10:26] <trijntje> but I dont think nautilus has an archive option right? So to resume the normal copy I can just use -P?
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> Wow - a quiet morning.
[10:42] <Fudge> indeed Dr_Willis
[10:42] <trijntje> but I dont think nautilus has an archive option right? So to resume a normal copy I can just use -rP?
[10:42] <AdvoWork> i tried to mount a folder, which failed as it said I need to specify the filesystem type, so i tried -t ext3 and get: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,  any suggestions please?
[10:43] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  sometimes it's more efficient and faster to start over, instead of repairing or resuming things
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  whats the exact commandline you are using
[10:43] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, mount -o loop /dev/VG_01/test /mnt/loop or mount  /dev/VG_01/test /mnt/loop
[10:44] <geirha> trijntje: rsync -a should be sufficient. It'll compare filesize and timestamps of each file, and avoid copying the files that are already up-to-date
[10:44] <trijntje> MonkeyDust: I already have 220 of 250 G copied over, and my pc keeps freezing on big copies for some reason
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  that /dev/VG_01/test looks totally wrong. What is is tupposed to be?
[10:44] <trijntje> geirha: wont that use compression?
[10:45] <geirha> trijntje: No. There are options for that though
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  freezing may mean 'taing its time to copy'
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> taking*
[10:46] <trijntje> MonkeyDust: no, even mouse freezes and doesnt unfreeze, even after waiting half an hour
[10:48] <trijntje> geirha: ok, thanks. I'm trying rsync -av now
[10:48] <fep> anyone know anything about bugs in w3af vs ubuntu 12.04?
[10:54] <geirha> trijntje: Monitor syslog in another terminal.  tail -F /var/log/syslog
[10:54] <geirha> trijntje: In case it freezes again, syslog may have clues as to why
[10:54] <trijntje> geirha: looks like its working, thanks! Ill take a look at syslog if it freezes again
[10:54] <fep> how do i easelly downgrade python from 2,7 to 2,6 ?
[10:56] <Geri_lgfx> how many hours in a day? 10
[10:56] <fep> how do i easelly downgrade python from 2,7 to 2,6 ?
[10:59] <MonkeyDust> fep  downgrading may harm your system
[11:00] <fep> MonkeyDust, if i got a program wich require python 2.6, and i got 2.7 but the program doesnt cooperate, what do i do?
[11:05] <ALIAZ> hi
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> hello
[11:06] <ALIAZ> i have a proble i aborted apt-get upgrade, then i deleted the lock file and now i get error messages
[11:06] <fep> MonkeyDust, can i install python 2,6 beside python 2.7 if i find the dev package?
[11:07] <ALIAZ> anyone a idea how to fiox that?
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> fep  are both versions not compatible?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> ALIAZ:  whats the exact error?
[11:07] <ALIAZ> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[11:07] <fep> MonkeyDust, the program i need to run says it need python 2.6, it doesnt work with 2.7
[11:07] <jrib> ALIAZ: run the command it says to run
[11:07] <ALIAZ> i tried
[11:08] <MonkeyDust> fep  better ask in the channel #python, then
[11:08] <ALIAZ> the i get ths error: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0008' near line 0:
[11:08] <ALIAZ>  newline in field name `#padding'
[11:08] <jrib> fep: umm, you should be able to use 2.7
[11:08] <ALIAZ> os is backtrack5
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> ALIAZ:  perhaps move/rename that 0008 file - it maybe currupted
[11:08] <jrib> !backtrack | ALIAZ
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> ALIAZ  type /join #backtrack-linux
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> And for backtrack. you shouldbe using the backtrack support channels. Good Luck
[11:09] <ALIAZ> ok
[11:09] <fep> jrib: i need python 2.6 to upgrade the software so it detects version 2.7
[11:09] <jrib> fep: be less vague
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> (why do beginners use backtrack? it's a network penetration distro for professionals)
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> Python is not going to be 'upgradeing' the pyython apps to be conpatiable with 2.7 I imagine.
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> askubuntu.com may hae ways to have both 2.6 and 2.7 installed.
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> MonkeyDust:  no idea. :)
[11:10] <fep> jrib, sorry?
[11:10] <jrib> fep: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Be specific.
[11:11] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: they like to think they are elite hackers
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/125342/how-can-i-install-python-2-6-on-12-04
[11:12] <Milos_SD> Hello...
[11:12] <fep> jrib: i need to upgrade my audit/detecting software "w3af", and to run console version it needs python 2.6. i got python 2.7 but the program seems to not detect that. after i run a upgrade for w3af, it would probably recognise python 2.7
[11:12] <Mr_Kaizer> Hey, been a while since I've used Ubuntu now. Are people still recommended *not* to use the update manager to update their release version?
[11:13] <fep> jrib: so how do i downgrade to python 2.6 for five minutes, and then change it back to 2.7 ?
[11:13] <subz3r0> Mr_Kaizer, not rly, i used in in several situations without any issues
[11:13] <subz3r0> -in/it
[11:13] <Milos_SD> Does anyone knows if the official design (artwork) for wearables in canonical shop are open? Can I download PDF or TIFF of the artwork?
[11:13] <jrib> fep: what exactly happens when you try to run it?  What do you mean by "the program seems to not detect that"?
[11:14] <fep> jrib: it says "/usr/bin/w3af_console: 3: /usr/bin/w3af_console: /usr/bin/python2.5: not found" great, 2.5 that is :p
[11:14] <Milos_SD> I need an artwork for one t-shirt... I can't order it, because shipping for my country is 10x the price of the t-shirt :(
[11:14] <Mr_Kaizer> subz3r0: Alright. I just seem to remember there being issues with it before. Seems they might have fixed that then :D
[11:14] <ech> I have some hardware that communicates over ethernet (without a router) rather than USB and it needs to obtain an IP from my Ubuntu PC. How do I configure this in Network Manager?
[11:14] <devtekalpha> Im making a usb ubuntustudio boot stick using unetbootin tool. An option says "spaced used to preserve files accross reboot(ubuntu only)" and an mb edit box... What is this for? Shall i leave it at 0 or.......?
[11:14] <jrib> fep: have it use python 2.7, it will work fine
[11:15] <fep> jrib, how?
[11:15] <jrib> fep: change 5 to 7
[11:15] <subz3r0> devtekalpha, leave it
[11:15] <devtekalpha> Ok
[11:15] <devtekalpha> What is it for though?
[11:15] <jrib> fep: ask the developers of the program if you want
[11:15] <subz3r0> it would be for a persistent installation, where you can save files on the stick
[11:15] <devtekalpha> Oh i see
[11:15] <Kartagis> in 12.04, /etc/resolv.conf says <IP_ADDRESS> for nameserver, but that doesn't work for me anymore (I can't resolve). any ideas?
[11:15] <devtekalpha> Thanks
[11:15] <subz3r0> you're welcome
[11:15] <primefalcon> I go away nd come back and I am being asked by a flood bot what color is a brown bug...... weird
[11:15] <fep> jrib: change 5 to 7, what do you mean?
[11:16] <jrib> fep: in your application, change "python2.5" to "python2.7"
[11:16] <Kartagis> primefalcon: everybody knows... red...
[11:16] <fep> jrib, as in the file i use to run the software?
[11:16] <jrib> fep: sure
[11:16] <fep> jrib, ok thanks
[11:17] <primefalcon> karakedi, lol
[11:17] <fep> jrib, "2.5" not found in that file
[11:17] <kristenbb>  Does someone know how I could make dot create equally spaced nodes, regardless of the arrow label ?
[11:17] <jrib> fep: then you are looking at the wrong file
[11:18] <fep> jrib, how do i figure out wich file says what python version it should detect when i run the "executable" file?
[11:19] <jrib> fep: if you're not sure, ask the author
[11:19] <Kartagis> in 12.04, /etc/resolv.conf says <IP_ADDRESS> for nameserver, but that doesn't work for me anymore (I can't resolve). any ideas?
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  <IP_ADDRESS> is localhost, your own pc, try changing the nameserver IP to that of your router, <IP_ADDRESS> or so
[11:20] <jrib> fep: by the way, w3af and w3af-console are in the repositories.  Are you using the version from the repositories/
[11:20] <fep> jrib: the executable file starts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" , but still it says it doesnt find version 2.5
[11:21] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: 2 days ago, it was still <IP_ADDRESS>, but I could resolve
[11:21] <jrib> fep: what does "/usr/bin/env python --version" in a console do?
[11:21] <auronandace> fep: type: "which python"
[11:22] <fep> jrib: yes, and i dont know
[11:22] <jrib> fep: yes what?
[11:23] <francua> how do i completely remove gnome desktop environment after i switched to kde for example?
[11:23] <devtekalpha> Im making an ubuntu usb bootable stick(with unetbootin) and  during it paused with a msg saying the file "e://autorun.inf already exists" press yes to overwrite.... Is this a weird thing to happen? Or i just click yes and should be fine
[11:23] <fep> jrib,  repositories, or what did you mean?
[11:23] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: my computer at home has nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> in its /etc/resolv.conf, and it can resolve
[11:23] <fep> my english is not perfect
[11:24] <lJ6il> Hello. My EeePC 1215N is very silent, so it's nice. But i think it's a bit hot... I'd like to raise the fan speed, but i can't. When i do a sudo pwmconfig, here what i've got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126848/
[11:24] <fep> jrib: i did the installation with ubuntu software center
[11:24] <jrib> fep: what does "/usr/bin/env python --version" in a console do?
[11:24] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  type sudo -e /etc/resolv.conf and change the nameserver's IP, then restart the network -- if it's not better, change it back
[11:25] <fep> jrib: --version was not there, only "/usr/bin/env python" , i dont know, i dont do programming, maybe use python to run rest of the file?
[11:25] <jrib> fep: run the command...
[11:25] <fep> yes, it starts python ....
[11:25] <jrib> fep: run the command I said
[11:26] <fep> oh, sorry
[11:26] <fep> jrib, Python 2.7.3
[11:27] <jrib> fep: ls -l /usr/local/bin/
[11:28] <fep> jrib, total 0
[11:28] <jrib> fep: pastebin that if there is output.  Afterwards, pastebin contents of w3af_console file you are running
[11:28] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: why are two computers behaving differently? I also found out that my colleague has a file named original in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/, which I don't
[11:30] <fep> jrib: w3af_console http://pastebin.ca/2177086
[11:32] <Ileden> I did a do-release-upgrade overnight, and when I woke up it was "completed" without any apparent bad errors, but my HD space was at 0. How do I make sure my system is not in the middle of a broken upgrade or something?
[11:33] <Ileden> doing "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" only updated a few packages.
[11:33] <Ileden> and the system is working ok...
[11:34] <WanderingEnder> Is anyone running Ubuntu Server on Windows Azure, and if so, is there any pitfalls I need to know prior to my own deployment? Alternately, point me to a channel that handles this use case.
[11:34] <fep> Ileden, if its ot broken why fix it?
[11:34] <jrib> fep: what do you execute exactly to get the message about python2.5?
[11:34] <fep> jrib: "w3af_console"
[11:34] <Ileden> fep: errrrrrr?
[11:35] <jrib> fep: create a script like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126906/, make it executable.  Does that run ok?
[11:36] <Ileden> fep: Perhaps because I don't wan't to find out later that "oops the keyring/screenlock blahblahwhateversecuritysystem" was completely messed up, whoopsie.
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  that file may be created by the network manager
[11:36] <Kartagis> sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:36] <Kartagis> SIOCADDRT: No such process <--- why am I getting this?
[11:36] <fep> jrib: yes
[11:36] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: I found out somehow my route table is corrupteed
[11:37] <zh> WanderingEnder: #ubuntu-server
[11:37] <jrib> fep: try w3af_console again in the same terminal you just ran that script from
[11:37] <fep> jrib: "/usr/bin/w3af_console: 3: /usr/bin/w3af_console: /usr/bin/python2.5: not found"
[11:39] <WanderingEnder> zh: thanks.
[11:39] <Otkrick> Hello, world !!!
[11:40] <WanderingEnder> !hello Otkrick
[11:40] <Otkrick> )
[11:40] <Otkrick> guys, how to disable local dns-cache?
[11:40] <WanderingEnder> Damn, I used to be able to make the bot say hi. :)
[11:40] <jrib> fep: pastebin your  /usr/share/python/debian_defaults .  Also « dpkg -L w3af-console »
[11:40] <Otkrick> WanderingEnder: can you help me with disabling local dns-cache? o.o.
[11:41] <auronandace> WanderingEnder: that factoid was removed a long while ago
[11:41] <Ileden> Basically what I'm asking is if there's a way to check if all my packages are in good state - installed and configured correctly - after the distribution upgrade.
[11:41] <Ileden> I don't see how they could be, if I ran completely out of space...
[11:41] <auronandace> Ileden: what does df -h say?
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  what's the outcome of df -h
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> auronandace  was faster :)
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  make sure there's not too many / obsolete kernels in your /
[11:42] <jrib> fep: what ubuntu version by the way?
[11:42] <Ileden> auronandace: it said "avail 0" and the system didn't boot to X, but after I released some space, it's now got 370M and the system seems fine.
[11:43] <WanderingEnder> Otkrick: I usually just pointed my boxes to <IP_ADDRESS> in resolv.conf and had no local cache problems.
[11:44] <Ileden> auronandace: MonkeyDust: df -h (currently) http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126930/
[11:44] <Otkrick> WanderingEnder: m.. i have my own dns-server and my hosts should always ask him..
[11:44] <Ileden> auronandace: MonkeyDust: But as I said after the do-release-upgrade was complete, the /dev/sda5 had 0 Avail.
[11:45] <fep> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/2177089
[11:45] <fep> jrib: 12.04
[11:45] <Ileden> MonkeyDust: how do I check for obsolete kernels in my root?
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  yes, the new kernel may be installed next to the old
[11:45] <jrib> fep: readlink -f $(which w3af_console)
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  i use the third party app ubuntu-tweak, but i'm sure there's a command for it
[11:46] <fep> jrib, "/usr/bin/w3af_console"
[11:46] <auronandace> Ileden: i tend to use synaptic to show them
[11:46] <jrib> fep: pastebin /usr/bin/w3af_console
[11:46] <zetheroo> I installed KDE-plasma desktop on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and would like to know where the KDE wallpapers are stored
[11:47] <fep> i did, let me scroll :p
[11:47] <jrib> fep: also, do « cd » before attempting to run this program again (i.e. don't be in /usr/share/w3af)
[11:47] <fep> oh, maybe its different?
[11:47] <fep> 2 sec
[11:48] <fep> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/2177091
[11:48] <fep> jrib, same message when in different dir
[11:49] <jrib> fep: what version of ubuntu?
[11:49] <Ileden> auronandace: Synaptic says I've got 2.6.38-11, 3.0.0-12, 3.0.0-13, 3.0.0-14, 3.0.0-15, 3.0.0-16, 3.0.0-19
[11:49] <fep> 12.04
[11:49] <auronandace> Ileden: you're on 11.10 then?
[11:50] <Ileden> auronandace: I was... tried to upgrade to 12.04, but I ran out of disk space...
[11:50] <jrib> fep: file a bug against the package.  As you can see, the script calls python2.5 explicitly but 2.5 is not available in 12.04.  I am not familiar with the software, but 2.6 and 2.7 /should/ work.  Ideally, you would file a bug, contact the author to discuss the feasibility of using later python versions.  But, if you want to try in the meantime, just delete the ".5" in /usr/bin/w3af_console
[11:50] <auronandace> Ileden: i'd get rid of all the 3.x's except for the 2 recent ones
[11:51] <Ileden> auronandace: lsb_release -a says 12.04
[11:51] <auronandace> Ileden: hmm, i'd say your upgrade didn't complete then
[11:51] <auronandace> Ileden: 12.04 uses 3.2
[11:51] <Ileden> auronandace: Yeah, that's kind what I'm guessing, since I don't see how it'd complete with 0 space available.
[11:51] <Ileden> However, I don't know how to resume.
[11:52] <jrib> fep: that script actually seems to be a debianism... so I wouldn't be surprised if it's just an oversight on the packager's part
[11:52] <fep> jrib: og thanks, it worked fine when i removed 2.5
[11:52] <fep> jrib, hehe ok
[11:52] <jrib> fep: ok, you should file a bug so it can be fixed
[11:52] <fep> to the author of the program? where/how ?
[11:53] <zetheroo>  I installed the plasma desktop on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and am wondering where the plasma wallpapers are stored
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  do you have backups? if yes, try and delete the old kernels, then type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:53] <fep> never done it before
[11:53] <auronandace> Ileden: i'm not the best to offer advise on that, i tend to fresh install a new release (less can go wrong)
[11:53] <Ileden> MonkeyDust: I have backups of my data, not of the system itself.
[11:54] <cypher-neo> zetheroo: Do you mean the KDE Plasma Desktop?
[11:54] <auronandace> Ileden: your data is the important stuff
[11:54] <zetheroo> cypher-neo: yes, I guess so
[11:54] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  all right, then try what i adviced
[11:54] <Ileden> auronandace: Ok, understandable. :) Though don't you have to do all the configuration again on fresh install?
[11:55] <auronandace> Ileden: there really isn't much to configure for me
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  most settings are stored in hidden files and folders in /home
[11:55] <auronandace> Ileden: once every 6 months isn't a burden for me either
[11:56] <Ileden> auronandace: Oh, wait, was looking wrong earlier. I do have 3.0.0-23 and 3.2.0-27 installed also
[11:56] <Evvyddre> Hey how can install the server os to a pc what wont instal it via usb or cd or pxe?
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  the .27 one is the correct
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> delete the other kernels
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> wont 'install' or wont boot? Evvyddre ? you could always move the hd to a differnt pc.. install to the hd.. then move it back
[11:57] <codeusher> 8-)
[11:57] <jalexandru> anybody knows what's the command name for startup disk creator?
[11:57] <fep> jrib: where do i report issues like that? have not done that before, once have to be the first :)
[11:57] <cypher-neo> zetheroo: They would be in your KDE system hierarchy. I think that would be $HOME/.kde/share/wallpapers
[11:58] <Evvyddre> the pc i am using how is windows 7  but has no working cd drive
[11:58]  * gry eyes #kubuntu and zetheroo
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> jalexandru:  usb-creator-gtk
[11:58] <Evvyddre> now*
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  it cant boot from USB? that would be weird..
[11:58] <jalexandru> dr_willis, thx
[11:59] <Evvyddre> do i use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/#button ? and what is the best verion of the server atm 12.04?
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  I do recall some versions of the Server edition not working properly from USB. but i think 12.04 fixed that.
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  or you can image the straight to the usb via some windows-disk imageing tools. (i forget the name of one i used int he past)  But the Pendrivelinux tools should work also.
[12:00] <Evvyddre> as i install it from usb on the pc it says CD not found
[12:00] <zetheroo> cypher-neo: ok well they weren't there but I found them in /usr/share/wallpapers
[12:01] <Evvyddre> i got vmbox "pc emu" but i wont connect my cattic to it
[12:01] <cypher-neo> zetheroo: :)
[12:01] <Kartagis> I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace <IP_ADDRESS> with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  that sounds like the old server installing from usb bug. No idea on how.why it happens. askubuntu.com may have work arounds.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  virtualbox works very well for me on windows. 'cattic' ?
[12:02] <Evvyddre> i was using 32bit ubuntu server 12.04
[12:02] <Evvyddre> it want mount my cate
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> 'it wont mount' your WHAT?
[12:04] <Abhijit> meow?
[12:04]  * mydogsnameisrudy cat in the attic?
[12:05] <karsten__> \nick karstenda
[12:05] <stevecam> where can i find more information on ubuntu for android, are there any official repositories?
[12:05] <Evvyddre> DrWillis: vm box wont mount my samsong story extanal hdd so i cant ghost the drive
[12:06] <Abhijit> that 'cate' means this long sentence?
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> stevecam  start here http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  Virtualbox has some extra plugins/settings you enable to allow it direct access of USB devices.
[12:06] <Abhijit> stevecam, http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[12:08] <Evvyddre> Dr_Willis: will norton ghost do? for cloning my vm harddrive to real one?
[12:08] <Kartagis> I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace <IP_ADDRESS> with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  No idea. Virtualbox has numerous tools for working with the VBOX hd images.
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> id suggest trying those.
[12:10] <Evvyddre> i have to reintall ubuntu server back on my vm used the 64bit ver insted of the 32bit
[12:10] <compdoc> Evvyddre, clonezilla will work. How old is your Norton Ghost?
[12:10] <AdvoWork> just burned a dvd which failed to end up how I wanted it. Basically i have loads of videos m4v that I want across a few dvds, but so they sorta play from my dvd player (so i can select each title). Any recommendations for a program?
[12:10] <Evvyddre> compdoc: hirnons 9.8 is what am using
[12:10] <Kartagis> Evvyddre: try gpasswd -a youruid vboxusers for enabling USB access
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  you want them to be in 'dvd-video' format?
[12:10] <Kartagis> and then log out/in
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  or can your player play the video files?
[12:11] <stevecam> MonkeyDust, Abhijit, am I missing something, I can't see much there except for official statements made by Ubuntu regarding android
[12:11] <Pici> stevecam: there are no packages yet.
[12:11] <compdoc> Evvyddre, Hirens has a lot of junk on it, but it does hav clonezilla on it, which is great
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> stevecam:  im not sure there is much official stuff out on Ubuntu-android yet. Other then  some videos :)
[12:11] <Evvyddre> i can download it
[12:12] <stevecam> so why is Ubuntu bragging so much about android? I'm confused, what has been done?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> stevecam  yes, that's why should *start* there
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> you*
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> stevecam:  omgubuntu has an artical on it i saw today
[12:13] <Evvyddre> it has been done for any android with dual core cpu
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> ones ive seen in the markets are running in a VM. theirs is on the native hardware not emulated/vm'd.
[12:13] <stevecam> What has been done?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> stevecam  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/ubuntu-for-android-demoed-on-video-at-fisl
[12:14] <Evvyddre> how can i setup a desktop on my server when i login via vnc?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> stevecam  that's not bragging, that's promoting
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  install the vncserver and whatever window maanger you want to use.
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> theres several vnc servers in the repos. I tend to use tightvnc (i think thats the name)
[12:15] <Evvyddre> what is the best window manager?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  totally depends on your needs. For VNC. i got as LIGHT as i can.
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> such as jwm, or somthing very very small and simple.
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> lightest 'desktop' is Lubuntu
[12:16] <Evvyddre> the server is going to be used as a game server + owncloud
[12:17] <Evvyddre> apt-get install ?
[12:17] <stevecam> what is getting promoted? is it going to be open?
[12:18] <auronandace> !ot | stevecam
[12:18] <stevecam> why is this off topic? this is ubuntu i am talking about isn't it?
[12:19] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, ideally(theres 20 vids) i want to be able to list them as videos in my home tv/dvd player thing, so im able to actually select each video if that makes sense
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> its not really 'support' related.
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  if you want videos converted to play in any DVD player with a DVD menu. you can use DeVeDE for that.. Its a little weird in ways. but does an ok job.
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  devede will make a dvd.iso that you can burn to dvd and play in any dvd player with menus. (or it can auto play)
[12:20] <stevecam> well, all i want to know really is ubuntu for android going to be an open project or a private project?
[12:20] <Pici> stevecam: #ubuntu-phone would probably be the best place to ask about it.  As far as I know, there are no public packages for it available, all the work is internal to canonical at this point.
[12:21] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, ahh cool, i have devede anyway, but have to select each file individually, but i suppose thats not the end of the world
[12:21] <mobile> ebrahim
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  thats how you would make a menu item for each video.  Or you could just merge all the videos together and add one big video to the dvd i guess.. but thats not what you asked for, :)
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> Havent heard much about the Ubuntu-TV project lately either. ;)
[12:23] <Evvyddre> hey whats a great SVN software with gui ?
