[20:26] <`greenlight> yup brontosaurusrex , but it can't connect to my localhost
[20:26] <therealgalen> DaPenguin: what do i do now?
[20:27] <DaPenguin> therealgalen, hmm, check out what /boot/grub/grub.cfg looks like
[20:27] <needlez> ok, sorry back
[20:27] <`greenlight> I don't have a router here, im using usb broadband
[20:27] <A_J> `greenlight look at my question ?
[20:28] <needlez> anyone got any ideas before I rebooted?? my grub displays only recv images but the regular images are installed. This happened when I was using plymouth manager to change plymouth's splash screen. Any way to fix??
[20:28] <alsuna> `greenlight: you need to reconfigure your firewall. i'm not sure but there should be some sort of protection in a mobile broadband modem...
[20:28] <therealgalen> DaPenguin: I can see it, but it's not very sueful....
[20:28] <`greenlight> what question A_J
[20:28] <lrussell> hi
[20:29] <A_J> can som1 tell me how i can add a resolution 1280x1024,for my screen
[20:29] <DaPenguin> therealgalen, check out what partiton it's trying to boot the kernel image from
[20:29] <lrussell> anyone here ever hear of Knoppix?
[20:29] <`greenlight> alsuna, oh.. maybe it's in the restrictions of the usb net provider
[20:30] <therealgalen> DaPenguin: it's just UUIDs and stuff like hd0,1
[20:30] <lrussell> anyone here ever hear of Knoppix? i need to know if it takes the same software as ubuntu?
[20:30] <andreyl> hello people

[20:30] <andreyl> I'm trying to follow this tutorial http://nixcraft.com/getting-started-tutorials/170-run-remote-x-applications-over-network-using-ssh.html
[20:30] <alsuna> `greenlight, do you not have an interface to configure anything for your connection
[20:30] <`greenlight> yup
[20:30] <DaPenguin> therealgalen, ok, hd0,1 means it's trying to boot from the 2nd partiton on the 1st hdd
[20:30] <`greenlight> in ubuntu nope
[20:30] <stbain> lrussell, yes, Knoppix I have heard of Knoppix. It can run some of the same software, but it is not really designed to run addon software
[20:31] <therealgalen> DaPenguin: everything looks OK, i just think the UUID is screwed up somehow
[20:31] <andreyl> and when I get ti the second step it just say's can't open display
[20:31] <DaPenguin> therealgalen, very possibly
[20:31] <therealgalen> DaPenguin: i'm just not sure how to fix it without fueling a bigger problem

[20:34] <alsuna> `greenlight, your current problem is that any requests from the outside are blocked. if you had a router then the firewall built into the router would block that request. as you don't have a firewall in your router, there must be a firewall somewhere in your mobile connection

[20:45] <DaPenguin> therealgalen, some bios configs don't allow for booting from external devices

[20:46] <erUSUL> A_J: are you sure you are using the correct output?
[20:46] <DaPenguin> therealgalen, just make sure the boot priority has the external device first, otherwise it may very well be a hardware issue
[20:46] <therealgalen> DaPenguin: i am thinking the latter
[20:47] <therealgalen> I can't find anything wrong with the grub configuration, the UUID is right...
[20:47] <A_J> erUSUL i'm sure, it's givin error that VGA-0 is not found

[20:57] <dustin_> my question is : what program can you use for doing things in GUI enviroment while being root? need the name of it if someone has time to explaing to me the name of the program i forgot
[20:57] <alsuna> A_J then try VGA1 as the name. as far as i'm aware you didn't try that yet
[20:58] <A_J> yes that seemed to work alsuna
[20:58] <A_J> will this option be avialble when i reboot ?
[20:58] <jon___> i don't think u can use the root in the GUI, it's really only works in the terminal, as far as i know
[20:59] <intrader> jon___, I am going back to previous version by removing the last kernel version from boot.conf. But be sure to make a backup
[20:59] <bazhang> jon___, not root sudo
[20:59] <bazhang> jon___, its gksudo for graphical apps
[20:59] <jon___> i use the su command to get into root
[20:59] <alsuna> A_J: i'm not sure. on 10.04 I had the problem that it didn't. to be on the safe side: save your commands into a script and if it's not available after reboot, just run the script.
[20:59] <intrader> jon___, do you have a GUI?
[21:00] <A_J> alone sec btb
[21:00] <jon___> i do have GUI

[21:01] <dustin_> jon its some kind of program that allows root, can't remember the name of it

[21:01] <A_J> xrandr --output VGA-mode "1280x1024_60.00"
[21:01] <jon___> i can use root in terminal
[21:01] <crankharder> how do I get to the bash prompt -- the boot process is going stragith from the bios to ubuntu's purple screen
[21:01] <crankharder> ?
[21:01] <jon___> by typing $ sudo passwd
[21:01] <jon___> and it let's me set a root pw
[21:02] <maco> crankharder: ctrl+alt+f1
[21:02] <bazhang> jon___, dont do that
[21:02] <jon___> then i type $ su
[21:02] <bazhang> !noroot > jon___
[21:02] <maco> jon___: all you need to get a root shell is "sudo -i"
[21:02] <tany> Bonsoir...
[21:02] <bazhang> jon___, use sudo -i for a root shell
[21:02] <maco> jon___: could use "sudo -s" if you didnt want root's environment, but thats fairly uncommn
[21:02] <crankharder> maco: that dropped me to a terminal, i need bash
[21:02] <A_J> alsuna are u here ?
[21:02] <maco> crankharder: log in and you'll be at bash
[21:02] <alsuna> A_J, what do you want to change? the procedure is always the same: create new mode, add mode, apply mode
[21:02] <intrader> jon___, just do 'sudo -i' as baxhang says
[21:03] <jon___> i've bein using $ su to access the root for a while
[21:03] <bazhang> jon___, that is NOT the way to do it
[21:03] <crankharder> maco: trying to recover my password ;)
[21:03] <maco> dustin_: to open a gui app as the superuser, preface the app's command with "gksudo" such as:   "gksudo nautilus"
[21:03] <A_J> u were saying a script so i can use it during startup, like .bat files in windows
[21:03] <dustin_> so anyone got any ideas then?
[21:03] <jon___> but it has worked
[21:03] <A_J> how can i make that ?
[21:03] <maco> crankharder: ahhh then boot to recovery mode :)
[21:03] <dustin_> thats it maco
[21:03] <dustin_> 1sec
[21:03] <crankharder> maco: ...right, but i can't get to the bash terminal
[21:04] <tany> Bon...mon client merde je vois rien....désolé....
[21:04] <alsuna> A_J exactly. this here does it all: http://pastebin.com/sKPtDgPW
[21:04] <dustin_> i tried useing dolphin to access it didnt work either 1min
[21:04] <maco> crankharder: recovery mode should ask "do you want a root shell?" among other things. highlight that one and hit enter
[21:04] <jon___> y should i not use $ su to use the root?
[21:04] <maco> dustin_: oh, kde? kdesu then
[21:04] <maco> jon___: the root account was locked for security reasons
[21:04] <crankharder> maco: dude, i don't have that option -- it goes straight from the BIOS to ubuntu's purple loading screen.. there's no bash menu
[21:04] <maco> jon___: by setting a password, you unlocked it
[21:04] <jon___> i changed the pw on it
[21:05] <A_J> alsuna shd i run that in the terminal ?
[21:05] <maco> crankharder: OH you mean there's no GRUB menu
[21:05] <jon___> so i can use it
[21:05] <dustin_> im useing gnome maco. i tried gksudo didnt work
[21:05] <maco> crankharder: hold down shift
[21:05] <crankharder> maco: yes, sorry
[21:05] <nickals> Good Afternoon! How is everyone?
[21:05] <x_GiORgIO_aRmANy> hola
[21:05] <maco> jon___: by default it has no password. it is locked. you unlocked it. ubuntu's security model is based on it staying locked
[21:05] <jon___> yes, y is it bad i unlocked it?
[21:05] <alsuna> A_J, nope. you paste that into a textfile and save as screenres.sh, then run in a terminal using ./screenres.sh
[21:05] <lemonchickenftl> anyone use s3 for storage?
[21:06] <crankharder> maco: thanx! :)
[21:06] <maco> jon___: because if the password is locked, it cant be brute forced. and if you use sudo, this is recorded to the audit log. if something is done in a "su" shell, there is no recording of what happened so no diagnostics if something goes wrong / someone gains access wrongly
[21:06] <Polah> jon___, because now people can access it and would have root access
[21:06] <cricido> hello
[21:06] <moellrich> Hi
[21:06] <cricido> i have a little problem
[21:06] <maco> dustin_:  did "gksudo dolphin" ask for your sudo password?
[21:06] <alsuna> A_J, but play with it for a bit. if your resolution is lost after a reboot, try the last line. if that works, you won't need the other ones
[21:06] <jon___> oh...
[21:06] <Polah> jon__: Like maco said, sudo is recorded and you can use it to do root things anyway; you never really need access to the root account in general use
[21:07] <dustin_> nope still didn't work i got that nexulis or whatever but no luck
[21:07] <A_J> kk alsuna thank you for your help
[21:07] <jon___> so, sudo can do whatever su can do?
[21:07] <alsuna> A_J if it doesn't, you need the other lines as well. oh and the #!/bin/bash line is needed no matter what
[21:07] <A_J> kk
[21:07] <maco> jon___: for the first user by default, yes
[21:07] <jon___> oh, i see
[21:07] <A_J> i'm really grateful alsuna thank you
[21:07] <Polah> jon__: Yes, it's SUperuser DO. You can remove the root password with "passwd -l root"
[21:08] <maco> jon___: of course, you could configure /etc/sudoers to allow, say, your kid to do software installation tasks (install updates, add games) but not to touch anything else that'd require root access
[21:08] <Polah> maco: Isn't it for people flagged as administrators
[21:08] <Polah> ?
[21:08] <cricido> i have installed webmin on my ubuntu but i didn't disable user root and now i havent password for enter at webmin anyone can help me ?
[21:08] <A_J> erUSUL thanks too, and alsuna thank you..
[21:08] <maco> Polah: the default config...
[21:08] <A_J> greets all
[21:08] <jon___> i havn't really done much in su
[21:08] <maco> Polah: you can set it up though so that you give a whitelist of users a whitelist of tasks they can perform
[21:08] <maco> Polah: sudo is much more flexible than just handing out a root password is
[21:09] <jon___> i've already set the root pw, though
[21:09] <maco> jon___: passwd -l root     <-- relocks it
[21:09] <Polah> jon__: I just told you how to remove it. passwd -l root
[21:09] <jon___> i see
[21:10] <A_J> anyway me off, ty people for all your help
[21:10] <cricido> ok it 's all right
[21:10] <cricido> :)
[21:10] <jon___> passwd: permission denied
[21:10] <intrader> jon___, have you changed your root password?
[21:11] <Pici> jon___: you need to run that with sudo
[21:11] <Danielcg25> Hello!
[21:11] <jon___> ok, that was the last time i used su
[21:11] <coz_> Daniel0108,  hey guy
[21:11] <jon___> to remove the pw
[21:12] <skrappjaw> hello
[21:12] <Daniel0108> hi coz_ :)
[21:12] <jon___> and relock su
[21:12] <jon___> now how do i get into sudo
[21:12] <intrader> jon___, for example say `sudo mkdir 'foo'` will prompt for your password then do mkdir as root.
[21:12] <Danielcg25> How much should I set my swap partition to?
[21:12] <Danielcg25> How big should it be?
[21:12] <jon___> what would thar specific command do?
[21:13] <coz_> Danielcg25,  same memory or twice memory,,, I think there are different takes on this however
[21:13] <dustin_> uhh i ran my clamv engine and it says in terminal that its outdated anyone know how to update the program in question? from the terminal
[21:13] <maco> jon___: put "sudo" before any command you want to run as the superuser
[21:13] <jon___> kk
[21:13] <Danielcg25> coz_: Well, I set it to 8GB, I have 2GB of RAM =P
[21:13] <genii-around> Danielcg25: There is a good guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20much%20swap%20do%20I%20need?
[21:13] <intrader> jon___, includint the 'relock su' command!
[21:14] <Danielcg25> Thanks
[21:14] <coz_> Danielcg25,  that sounds reasonable...but if you want to check for sure  google   ubuntu swap size
[21:14] <Mutante1> where can i ask for help?
[21:14] <jon___> ya, i already relocked su, using su
[21:14] <coz_> Mutante1,  what is the problem?
[21:14] <jon___> that was the last command used in su
[21:14] <DotNet> !se
[21:14] <Polah> coz_, Danielcg25: If you've got 2GB of RAM I'd recommend setting it to 2 or 4, if you've got more than 2GB setting it to just 2GB would do. It really depends on what you use your computer for; video encoding/high resolution image editing and high end gaming require a lot of RAM everything else not so much
[21:15] <Danielcg25> Thanks, I'll probably be upgrading to 4GB RAM soon so I didn't want to have to reconfigure my partitions when I did :)
[21:15] <Mutante1> i want to format a usb memory
[21:15] <coz_> Polah,  yes
[21:15] <Polah> Danielcg25: Make sure you're running 64-bit
[21:15] <Mutante1> but i dont know how...
[21:15] <jon___> i only got 2 GB of ram
[21:15] <Danielcg25> Yes I am :)
[21:16] <coz_> Daniel0108,  what type of things do you do on your system?
[21:16] <dustin_> thanks for all your folks help
[21:16] <Daniel0108> coz_: programming, lol :D
[21:16] <DotNet> Any suggestions about how you an backup or clone the partition Ubunutu is installed on`?
[21:16] <Polah> Coz_: you mean danielcg, name autocomplete is a pain sometimes
[21:16] <coz_> Daniel0108,  ah  probably dont need a massive swap file then  double the size of your memory should do it
[21:16] <coz_> Polah,  oh boy
[21:17] <Polah> DotNet: You want to make an image of your drive?
[21:17] <coz_> Daniel0108,  sorry guy I meant  Danielcg25  :)
[21:17] <bfrog> debian packaging is really time consuming, already missing my arch PKGBUILD files
[21:17] <Daniel0108> loool
[21:17] <Danielcg25> Does Xcode run on Linux or only Mac?
[21:17] <Daniel0108> okay :P
[21:17] <Daniel0108> another daniel ^^
[21:17] <Danielcg25> lol
[21:17] <DotNet> Polah: Yes, like ghost
[21:18] <nickals> good bye everyone, girls here
[21:18] <coz_> Danielcg25,   mainly mac    eclipse may be a good alternative
[21:18] <Danielcg25> Eclipse?
[21:18] <Polah> DotNet: Check out Ghost for Linux or Clonezilla?
[21:19] <alsuna> coz_: you're mixing up daniels again
[21:19] <DotNet> ok POlah
[21:19] <DotNet> Thanks
[21:19] <Dwade09> hey guys how can i use a linux live cd to remove a user login password on a windows 7 desktop? i tried safe mode but i forgot the password to enter into safe mode as well.
[21:19] <Polah> Coz_: Isn't that for java development?
[21:19] <coz_> alsuna,  oh boy  well ok I better just take a break here
[21:19] <coz_> Polah,  eclipse can be yes
[21:19] <coz_> Polah,  as far as I know it is a decent alternative to xcode for mac
[21:19] <dustin_> lemme know if any of you know alot about tork/tor clients i could use that alot talk to you all in afew and again thank you folks
[21:19] <jon___> ok, now that i got the hole superuser thing settled.... now for the other problem: after i installed the recent updates, my computer has been restartin on me automaticaly
[21:19] <jon___> does anyone know the cause if this?
[21:20] <dtcrshr> im trying to fix up my netbook, wich has 10.04 ubuntu netbook version on it. after if updated / upgraded via apt-get i cant use mouse/keyboard, so iv booted via the pendrive iv installed trying to recover the installation. First thought is to remove xorg.conf, and try to recover the xserver configs? how do i dpkg reconfigure via recovery boot?
[21:20] <Polah> Dwade09: I believe, although I may be wrong, that Windows users are stored in the registry and not a file. Perhaps try "admin" or "administrator". I believe Windows 7 has the option to reset the password using the CD?
[21:21] <Danielcg25> Too much spam :(
[21:21] <lemonchickenftl> Dwade09 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+7+remove+user+password+linux
[21:21] <harley77> ciao
[21:21] <coz_> Danielcg25,  you can look here also    http://monotouch.net/   but in all honesty I would suggest googleing   ubuntu xcode alternatives
[21:21] <Danielcg25> Eh, too many people leaving/joining for my iPod touch's small screen xD
[21:22] <coz_> if thats the right Danielcg25 :)
[21:22] <Polah> Think there was a node dropout or something on the network
[21:22] <ccvvcc> how can i make and only leave compiled files?
[21:22] <coz_> Danielcg25,  that was a minor net split
[21:23] <Polah> Yeah, that ^
[21:23] <jon___> ok, my computer has bein restarting itself after the recent updates where installed, does anyone know what's y?
[21:24] <addisonj> anyone else using chrome-unstable and now getting complaints about an old flash version?
[21:24] <intrader> jon___, does it show the splash background with the request to login?
[21:25] <jon___> umm, idk, my computer just turns off, then starts the booting proccess
[21:25] <jon___> and ubuntu starts just like i manually restarted my comp
[21:26] <jon___> it just restarts
[21:26] <Polah> Randomly, jon__?
[21:26] <jon___> yes
[21:26] <Polah> Hmm, could be a critical component failing
[21:26] <coz_> Guest62307, fred_  was much easier to tab  :)
[21:26] <jon___> idk, it has been doing this since i installed those updates earleir today

[21:29] <jon___> they made an vs11?
[21:29] <Polah> 10.04 isn't the latest
[21:30] <MavereX> DisneyRicky how did your install go
[21:30] <Polah> 10.10 is the latest and 11.04 will be latest on the 28th of April
[21:30] <MavereX> you got 10.04 right
[21:30] <jon___> yes
[21:30] <DisneyRicky> Pretty good actually MavereX. And yeah.
[21:30] <DisneyRicky> Little slow though.  :/
[21:30] <MavereX> Yeah you're running an old system
[21:30] <intrader> jon___, idk, Polah, I likewise have booting problem , but it is 10.10- I think the last update hosed something - perhaps in X
[21:30] <jon___> how do i fix it?
[21:30] <Polah> intrader: jon__: Did you both update from 10.04. I'm running 10.10 installed from LiveCD and not had any booting issues

[21:31] <enoch> hi all
[21:31] <enoch> best fs to use on an eeepc using a ssd drive?
[21:31] <enoch> ext4?
[21:32] <intrader> Polah, no from download from ubuntu, but the most recent update asked me to reboot, and then now I just get the terminal
[21:32] <Polah> enoch: ext4 is the latest version so probably, although I've heard some things about instability but I've experienced nothing, might not be true
[21:32] <jon___> i will see u guys later, i'm going to install ubuntu 10.10, and see if that fixes my booting problem, thank you Polah
[21:32] <Polah> intrader: That would be a problem with X server then. Try reinstalling it
[21:32] <Polah> Jon__: Update to 10.10 from update manager
[21:32] <Polah> !upgrade | jon__
[21:32] <skullboy> how do i set a var to the output of a command
[21:32] <jon___> i did this morning...
[21:33] <jon___> if it was through update manager
[21:33] <Polah> hmm
[21:33] <intrader> Polah, I don't have network or CD
[21:33] <jon___> i ran update manager this morning
[21:34] <drc> intrader: without "network", how did you "update" ?
[21:34] <intrader> drc, before it got hosed I had network
[21:34] <drc> intrader: ah...
[21:34] <intrader> drc, np
[21:35] <jon___> so, it looks like to me the last update has bugs in it
[21:35] <jon___> recent update*
[21:35] <Polah> I'm going to update on 10.10 now, let me see
[21:36] <Polah> Nope, everything I have is up to date and no issues
[21:36] <intrader> Anyone, will the update manager run again if I revert back to previous kernel?
[21:36] <skullboy> how do i set a var to the output of a command
[21:37] <Polah> jon__, intrader: Do you perhaps have proposed-updates enabled? or backports?
[21:37] <jon___> idk, u could try backing up your files and reformate, and install 10.10 using a CD
[21:37] <jon___> intrader
[21:37] <dtcrshr> how do I enter recorevy mode via netbook 10.04 iso? i can boot up the system but i cant choose recovery mode
[21:37] <dtcrshr> is there a way to do this? or I need to completly reinstall 10.04 and block all updates?
[21:38] <jon___> u have to have duel-boot set up
[21:38] <intrader> Polah, when the update manager ran, it had an error, but still wanted to reboot which I did ---- no, I know that my last kernel still boots Ok
[21:38] <dtcrshr> Iv made a clean install, and just after made apt- update / upgrade
[21:38] <dtcrshr> after this, iv rebooted and keyboard / mouse gone
[21:38] <Polah> dtchrshr: You need to access your bootloader, i.e. grub
[21:39] <dtcrshr> Polah, i got no dual boot, if I turn on the pc it goes straight into ubuntu
[21:39] <dtcrshr> is there something like windows F8 key to choose in boot?
[21:39] <Polah> intrader, jon__: With proposed-updates there's network management frameworks and an Xorg update among other things
[21:39] <Polah> Yes, try F8
[21:40] <jon___> i've really learned alot from the 30 min i've bein in this chat... example: how to and how not to use root
[21:40] <jon___> lol
[21:40] <intrader> Polah, the Xorg update must have gone wrong for me
[21:40] <dtcrshr> Is there a way to boot up in recovery mode without a boot cd in ubuntu?
[21:40] <jon___> r u having rebooting isues too intrader
[21:40] <elshaka> hi there, has anyone here successfully installed empathy >2.33.2 on maverick?
[21:41] <Roasted> Does anybody happen to know, if you're downloading something from an Apache server and you lose connection and regain it hours later, does it re-link and begin again?
[21:41] <Polah> dtcrshr: Did you try F8?
[21:41] <DJones> dtcrshr: You should be able to hold down the left shift key at boot which will bring up the grub menu & you can select recovery at that point
[21:41] <Polah> There you go
[21:41] <intrader> jon___, yes, however it goes to the terminal (black screen with no GUI)
[21:41] <jon___> oh, mine just shuts off and restarts
[21:42] <jon___> it has happend twice so far
[21:42] <jon___> it kinda sucks considering that's the reason i switched from windows to ubuntu, because windows did the same
[21:42] <intrader> jon___, mine reboots as well, but after giving me the login prompt in the terminal. If I continue, it will reboot to same problem
[21:43] <jon___> it would randomly restart on me
[21:43] <dtcrshr> thanks DJones
[21:43] <DJones> dtcrshr: you're welcome
[21:43] <Lao> Problem: I've managed to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 from my USB flash drive to my hard drive.  However, now Grub doesn't seem to even start if the usb drive isn't set as the boot drive via the mobo's bios, but once I'm in Ubuntu, df /boot points to my hard drive.  Anyone know how to fix this?
[21:43] <drc> jon___: If windows did the same on the same hardware (computer), I'd say it was a hardware (not software) problem
[21:43] <jon___> well, this just restarts the computer, with no prior warnings
[21:43] <intrader> jon___, I think there is a time element involved, because on mine it sometimes takes a long time before I get the terminal
[21:44] <Polah> lao: Set the boot flag on your ubuntu partition/drive with something like Gparted?
[21:44] <K1ng> can anyone teach me about freelancer.com?
[21:44] <jon___> no, because it only started to happen AFTER i installed update via update manager this morning
[21:44] <Polah> If it's loading into command line then Xorg isn't functioning, the same happens if it fails; it reverts to cli
[21:44] <jon___> so i know it isn't hardware
[21:44] <Lao> Polah: I haven't tried that.  Is that a command line program?
[21:44] <bazhang> K1ng, does that have something to do with ubuntu?
[21:44] <LoRez> K1ng: stop spamming channels
[21:45] <Polah> lao: No, GUI
[21:45] <drc> jon___: "it kinda sucks considering that's the reason i switched from windows to ubuntu, because windows did the same" ????
[21:45] <jon___> yes, windows started to restart on me randomly
[21:45] <jon___> at the worst times
[21:45] <dtcrshr> Lao, if your deployng a server, go for debian
[21:46] <bazhang> jon___, its hardware then
[21:46] <Roasted> I've never had Windows, or Ubuntu reboot at random times.
[21:46] <dtcrshr> my personal oppinion
[21:46] <Roasted> jon___, I agree. It's hardware.
[21:46] <picasse> http://espace-familial.blogspot.com/
[21:46] <Polah> Windows has the unfortunate problem of forcing a restart when you update it
[21:46] <drc> jon___: Then I re-state the obvious...if windows AND ubuntu exhibit the same behavior on the same hardware, I'd suspect the hardware, not the software
[21:46] <bazhang> picasse, dont paste here
[21:46] <Polah> I run a dedicated box with Windows Server 2008 R2 and I can't update it unless it actually crashes and then I can use the windows when it reboots to update and reboot it again
[21:47] <dtcrshr> ubuntu server has some "magical" issues, if you update it you must pray on next reboot :D
[21:47] <picasse> ok
[21:47] <Lao> dtcrshr: Dutily noted.  If all else fails, I'll do that. Polah: I don't have a GUI installed on my server box, and would rather keep it that way.
[21:47] <Roasted> dtcrshr, hardly. if you have issues, boot to the last kernel.
[21:47] <jon___> no, difference: on windows it just did it randomly, i dindn't anything for it to start, and i also loaded a bunch of crap on it. on ubuntu it started doing it after i ran update manager this morning
[21:47] <Lao> Does anyone know how to verify / reinstall GRUB?  The problem HAS to be that it's installed on the flash drive.
[21:48] <dtcrshr> Roasted, on this very netbook im trying to fix, i got no last kernel to choose. the recovery mod is heere "booting" for almost 5 min
[21:48] <bazhang> Lao, /msg ubottu grub2 for links on how to do that
[21:48] <jon___> and on windows ir got progressively worse, and stoped after i installed ubuntuy
[21:48] <dtcrshr> imagine this on a production server
[21:48] <jon___> tubuntu*
[21:48] <Roasted> dtcrshr, gotta say. that's a first :P
[21:48] <jon___> ubuntu*
[21:48] <Roasted> dtcrshr, we run it in production.
[21:48] <Lao> bazhang: Thanks!
[21:48] <Roasted> dtcrshr, far less issues than I've seen in windows. so much that I was worried about tech dept cutbacks at one point.
[21:49] <dtcrshr> Im a huge ubuntu spreader, but it surely have some issues that takes me very far from deploying servers on it
[21:49] <dtcrshr> Roasted, cant compare to windows thought, too much issues to count
[21:49] <drc> Roasted: What obscure and vexing problem have you for us today, bro...or are you here just to chat? :)
[21:49] <Polah> Lao: sudo apt-get install grub2?
[21:49] <bazhang> jon___, please pastebin the error logs from said problems
[21:50] <jon___> where r they stored?
[21:50] <Roasted> drc, the only problem I'm trying tos olve I don't believe is an ubuntu problem. I think it's likewise-open, sicne it's a domain related issue.
[21:50] <Roasted> drc, what previous issue were your eferring to?
[21:50] <drc> Roasted: Darn!  I look forward to the discussion you engender :)
[21:50] <bazhang> jon___, simply stating :in windows and ubuntu it randomly restarts leads to one conclusion, its hardware, minus the aforementioned error logs
[21:50] <dtcrshr> what mostly bothers me is that an student bought this netbook, and the TI people in the university told her to run after someone who would install windows on it, i tooked it to put up ubuntu instead of the embedded linux it came for free
[21:51] <dtcrshr> and netbok remix dont work at all, very sad
[21:51] <Roasted> netbook remix is a joke
[21:51] <dtcrshr> tryed 10.10 and 10.04
[21:51] <Roasted> and a very bad joke at that
[21:51] <dtcrshr> VERY BAD
[21:51] <dtcrshr> i think ill go for regular ubuntu then
[21:51] <Roasted> reg ubuntu runs great on my netbook
[21:51] <bazhang> Roasted, dtcrshr please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:51] <impuls> irc://arch.edu.pl
[21:51] <Polah> dtrcrshr: When 11.04 comes out you get the joy of "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu".
[21:51] <dtcrshr> wth did they made this netbook remix?
[21:51] <jon___> well, the restarting only started on ubuntu after i upgraded to 10,10
[21:51] <drc> dtcrshr: Remix and ubuntu will merge in 11.04 anyway
[21:51] <Roasted> bazhang, pretty sure we're talking about ubuntu?
[21:52] <bazhang> Roasted, its not support. please take it there
[21:52] <abstrakt> dtcrshr, yeah really I'm not sure why anyone runs anything other than "regular" ubuntu in the first place, but whatever trips your trigger I guess
[21:52] <jon___> 10.10*
[21:52] <Roasted> bazhang, lol. k.
[21:52] <abstrakt> point is, just download the "real thing" and then modify it to taste, that's what I recommend
[21:52] <dtcrshr> personally iv never messed arround netbook remix, but sure think i would give a shot on this one.. bad timing
[21:52] <dtcrshr> well, I have issues on both 10.04 and 10.10 at first boot regarding the university connection. its wpa2-enterprise, with no certificate
[21:53] <dtcrshr> on 10.10 it didnt connected at all
[21:53] <Roasted> dtcrshr, we tried to deploy wpa2 enterprise lately
[21:53] <dtcrshr> on 10.04 it goes, but after a minute or so it hangs
[21:53] <Roasted> dtcrshr, we ran into issues with using it on a windows server, that bombed. then we tried an ubuntu radius server, that bombed too.
[21:53] <bazhang> jon___, please pastebin your error logs, otherwise it certainly is a hardware issue
[21:53] <dtcrshr> what do you suggest then? go for 10.04 or 10.10? im completly dropping this joke netbook remix
[21:53] <jon___> where r the error logs stored?
[21:53] <dtcrshr> Roasted, well, we got freebsd running radius
[21:54] <Roasted> jon___, if you have two operating systems rebooting randomly on the same computer, you definitely have a hardware issue.
[21:54] <dtcrshr> about 1200 users, windows, mac, all working
[21:54] <jon___> i only have one os
[21:54] <dtcrshr> sure thing its something with ubuntu
[21:54] <Roasted> jon___, but you said you ran windows on it
[21:54] <Roasted> dtcrshr, nope
[21:54] <Roasted> dtcrshr, centos, fedora, etc, all bombed on it
[21:54] <Roasted> radius just sucks :/
[21:54]  * perlmonkey is using dd_rescue to try and save some data from an injured HDD
[21:54] <FloodBot3> Roasted: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:54] <jon___> srry, i missread the question
[21:54] <dtcrshr> im connected to the network in this very pc im talking now
[21:54] <dtcrshr> on debian 6
[21:55] <bazhang> !ot | Roasted dtcrshr I asked nicely once already
[21:55] <Roasted> aw snap
[21:55] <jon___> i did have the same isue with windows when i ran that, and if i have the same problem, it doesn't mean it's a hardware problem, rebooting can be cause by a lot of isues
[21:56] <ultramarin> russian?
[21:56] <jon___> not just hardware
[21:56] <red2kic> !ru | ultramarin
[21:56] <Roasted> jon___, I'll say it again. If you have random rebooting issues on TWO operating systems on the SAME computer. You. Have. A. Hardware. Problem.
[21:56] <bazhang> ultramarin, #ubuntu-ru
[21:56] <dtcrshr> bazhang, ok. the last question iv posted is this. Since netbook remixes sux, and i need a nice wpa2-enterprise support, wich regular ubuntu should I go? 10.04 or 10.10?
[21:56] <drc> jon___: Walk>Talk>Quack == Duck
[21:56] <bazhang> dtcrshr, 10.10 and wpa2 is fine here
[21:56] <dtcrshr> ok thanks
[21:57] <jon___> ok, the restarting cam ----->AFTER!!!!!<------ i installed 10.10
[21:57] <frodef> I'm setting up a secondary X screen (a projector) but the display looks like it's 8-bit depth rather thant the 24 bit it's supposed (and reported) to be... any clues?
[21:57] <jon___> it did not do it yestarday when i had 10.04
[21:58] <Roasted> jon___, but you said you ran windows on that box before and you had restarting issues.
[21:58] <Polah> frodef: Are there only 8 colours? Or do you mean it's pixelated?
[21:58] <perlmonkey> I had something strange happen
[21:58] <intrader> DaPenguin, I have gotten nowhere with the grub.cnf update. It is autogenerated from other entries in /etc/grub.d
[21:58] <jon___> i also loaded windows with a buch of crap, and screwd around with video game hacking software on windows
[21:58] <drc> Roasted: Let it go (I have)...he will not see the obvious because he doesn't want to
[21:58] <frodef> Polah: it looks like there's about 256 colours.
[21:58] <kc9srv> jon__ revert to 10.04 to see if it still reboots. You probably have a hardware issue that only exhibits under certain conditions - windows and 10.10 both bring that out. No easy way to figure out what is going on
[21:58] <frodef> ugly as hell.
[21:58] <Roasted> jon___, I'm still not buying it. I work in a district with 2,000 systems. I've seen issues like this. You have a hardware problem. Period.
[21:59] <perlmonkey> I just bought a Samsung CLP-300 colour laser printer, and Ubuntu DETECTED it INSTANTLY. I didn't have to do anything, just plugged that printer into system, and viola, it showed up on printers
[21:59] <perlmonkey> now that is progress
[21:59] <bazhang> Roasted, lets move on please
[21:59] <Polah> perlmonkey: plugnplay
[21:59] <Roasted> bazhang, I'm not the one hanging onto the software issue, mr bazhang.
[21:59] <perlmonkey> :D
[21:59] <kc9srv> jon__ could be 10.10 includes video drivers that actually use the GPU and raise the temperature causing a reset
[21:59] <Roasted> please revert that suggestion to the user in question
[21:59] <bazhang> jon___, please paste.ubuntu.com your errors
[21:59] <Roasted> thank you
[21:59] <jon___> i just want to go threw all posible solution b4 i spend 1000 dollars i do not have on a new computer
[22:00] <jon___> have to spend*
[22:00] <Roasted> jon___, you don't need a new computer. Just gotta do some troubleshooting on which part it is. It might be very cheap to fix.
[22:00] <perlmonkey> hardware failures can be expensive :(
[22:00] <bazhang> jon___, understood; in order to troubleshoot we need some error logs
[22:00] <perlmonkey> I just damaged my lovely server by a silly stupid lazy mistake
[22:00] <jon___> i've replaced every part except for chipset
[22:00] <frodef> The projector looks good when in "twinview" mode, but horrible in "separate X screen" mode.
[22:01] <jon___> and i have asked where the trouble logs are stored
[22:01] <perlmonkey> /var/log
[22:01] <jon___> kk
[22:02] <perlmonkey> you can try syslog for general errors.. tail -100 syslog
[22:02] <lisandros> guys, can someone help me? i have downloaded the new catalyst 11.2 driver but i don't know how to install it, it is a .run file
[22:02] <perlmonkey> for hardware specific probs, try dmesg which should show on start up
[22:02] <Rehan> If my laptop has an Intel i7 chip in it, do I need to download the 64bit Ubuntu or should I still get the 32bit one since the Ubuntu site says its recommended?
[22:02] <Roasted> Does anybody have Ubuntu on a Windows domain? I set up two Ubuntu boxes on the domain with Likewise Open, but on one when I click on a windows file server location, it auto-authenticates since I'm logged in as a domain user. On the other, it asks me for credentials. Uhh. Any ideas?
[22:03] <Roasted> Rehan, 32b is just recommended because it's the most compatible. You sound like you have a 64 bit proc, I'd get the 64.
[22:03] <joeoshawa> is ubuntu unrelated messed up?
[22:03] <bazhang> Rehan, 64bit is fine. its a badly worded website
[22:03] <bazhang> joeoshawa, pardon?
[22:03] <Rehan> Roasted: bazhang: thank you to you both.
[22:03]  * perlmonkey is running 64bit no probs
[22:03] <Roasted> Rehan, and let me rephrase - It's the most compatible in regard to working with older hardware.
[22:03]  * smaug42 is running 64 bit too
[22:03] <joeoshawa> i logged into it automatically and floodbot went nuts and asked me to identify myself
[22:04] <bazhang> joeoshawa, you mean -unregged?
[22:04] <Rehan> Roasted: I see. As long as I have someone helping me, I may as well also ask, if I will be dual booting with Win7 and Ubuntu, would that make any difference into which version I should get? Thank you.
[22:04] <bazhang> Rehan, no, its the same 64 is fine
[22:04] <intrader> Anyone, how do I revert my boot to the last kernel image?
[22:04] <joeoshawa> maybe
[22:04] <joeoshawa> wasn't intending to go in there so i didn't really look
[22:05] <bazhang> intrader, hold shift at boot and select
[22:05] <Polah> intrader: I believe it shows the previous kernel in GRUB?
[22:05] <skullboy> how do i get a cat to var
[22:05] <bazhang> skullboy, pardon?
[22:05] <intrader> Polah, bazhang, yes, I just want it always boot from the last working image
[22:06] <bazhang> intrader, then do as I just suggested
[22:06] <Polah> intrader: You'd need to configure that in GRUB
[22:06] <jon___> ok, i found the syslog for today, but it is a lot of words, and i do not want to post it in here, is there anywhere i can post it?
[22:06] <Polah> pastebin, jon__:
[22:06] <bastidrazor> intrader: uninstall the newer kernel
[22:06] <jon___> yes?
[22:06] <bazhang> jon___, yes paste.ubuntu.com as I have said several times now
 i need a variable to = the first line of a plain text document
[22:06] <Polah> Or if it's huge, just upload the entire file somewhere
[22:06] <intrader> bazhang, that is manual
[22:06] <IdleOne> jon___: paste.ubuntu.com
[22:07] <jon___> ok, ty
[22:07] <intrader> bastidrazor, how?
[22:07] <bazhang> intrader, and what was it you wanted to do, then? please be absolutely clear, thanks.
[22:07] <bastidrazor> intrader: in synaptic search for linux-image  you will find it there
[22:07] <IdleOne> jon___: after pasting copy the URL and paste that URL in here to whoever is helping you.
[22:08] <kroimpa> hey guys
[22:08] <jon___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/585624/
[22:08] <kroimpa> just a wuick guestion
[22:08] <jon___> that's the log
[22:08] <kc9srv> skullboy `head -n 1 filename` will give you the first line of a file
[22:08] <kroimpa> is it possible to host 2 nameservers on the came machine an ip?
[22:08] <Rehan> Roasted: if i'm starting with a clean hard drive, should i use the win7 installer to make two partitions and then install win7 on one and then use the WUBI installer or should I just use a Linux CD and install independent of windows in the 2nd partition?
[22:08] <kroimpa> 2 diffrent nameservers
[22:08] <kc9srv> so $VAR="`head -n 1 filename`" should do it
[22:09] <Roasted> Rehan, I would install 7 on a limited partition. let the remainder "unallocated" then when you install ubuntu you can handle the unallocated part for your linux setup.
[22:09] <Roasted> Rehan, the idea isn't to let windows handle both tasks. Just don't give Windows the FULL drive. Leave space after, let it alone, and let Ubuntu handle it when you mvoe on to step 2
[22:09] <Rehan> Roasted: thank you, much appreciated!
[22:09] <Roasted> Rehan, no problem. good luck!
[22:09] <intrader> bazhang, bastidrazor , and auto-update went wrong this morning leaving me with a kernel image 2.6.35-28 that boots into a login in a text terminal. The previous 2.6.35-27 boots Ok to the GUI
[22:11] <jon___> srry, i posted the wrong syslog
[22:12] <Lao> All right guys, I got it figured out.  Thanks for the help!  For those curious, I just ran "sudo grub-install /dev/sda".  Later all!
[22:13] <jon___> this is the syslog for today: http://paste.ubuntu.com/585630/
[22:15] <mrwes> does anyone know if wodim supports disk spanning
[22:16] <intrader> bazhang, bastidrazor ,  auto-update went wrong this morning leaving me with a kernel image 2.6.35-28 that boots into a login in a text terminal. The previous 2.6.35-27 boots Ok to the GUI
[22:16] <GothCC> how does one determine what, if any, restricted drivers are installed?
[22:16] <mrwes> GothCC: system | hardward drivers
[22:16] <bastidrazor> intrader: uninstall it. use synaptic
[22:16] <mrwes> er hardware
[22:16] <mrwes> heh
[22:16] <GothCC> mrwes: thanks
[22:16] <intrader> bastidrazor, boot into the good one then use synaptic?
[22:16] <bastidrazor> intrader: yes
[22:17] <intrader> bastidrazor, any caveats and where do I find the image to uninstal?
[22:17] <bastidrazor> intrader: search for linux-image
[22:18] <Laurenceb> hi
[22:18] <intrader> bastidrazor, simple enough
[22:18] <Laurenceb> is there a way to connect to bluetooth serial modules without sudo?
[22:18] <GothCC> perfect, upgrading 10.04 to 10.10 fixed the driver issue with FGLRX
[22:18] <Laurenceb> sudo rfcomm --raw connect 4  <--better than that?
[22:19] <intrader> bastidrazor, would I left with 2.6.35-27? I would be booting to that one since ...-28 is bad.
[22:20] <jon___> did, anyone read the log and get anything from it???
[22:20] <bastidrazor> intrader: if it is currently installed then yes.
[22:21] <intrader> bastidrazor, on another laptop I search in synaptic for linux-image and get nothing
[22:22] <bastidrazor> intrader: click the S.. it'll list packages installed
[22:23] <guntbert> intrader: in synaptic I usually write linux-  into the quick search box and select "installed" from the categories on the left side
[22:24] <Aufwind> I want to rename a bunch of file that have this pattern   123.zip  to newname_123.zip. Is this possible?
[22:24] <intrader> bastidrazor, when I type linux in search I get <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:24] <Aufwind> I mean by terminal.
[22:24] <stbain> Aufwind: Yes.
[22:25] <intrader> bastidrazor, when I type linux in search I get <IP_ADDRESS>.36
[22:25] <Aufwind> stbain: How?
[22:25] <bastidrazor> intrader: that is the kernel you want to uninstall.
[22:25] <jospams> hi
[22:25] <jospams> I need some help
[22:25] <Aufwind> stbain: I thought of mv, but it has not the possibility (or I didn't figured it out yet) to store the old name.
[22:25] <stbain> Aufwind, for i in *.zip ; do mv $i newname_$i ; done
[22:26] <Aufwind> stbain:
[22:26] <Aufwind> stbain: Oh,... Didn't think of a for loop.
[22:26] <Aufwind> stbain: Thank you!!
[22:26] <stbain> [standard disclaimer and "backup your data" warning goes here]
[22:26] <perlmonkey> i second that
[22:26] <Aufwind> stbain: Thanks! Will do. :D
[22:26] <intrader> bastidrazor, what would I be left with - previous kernel?
[22:26] <perlmonkey> I lost all my data for the 3rd time, and still never learned
[22:26] <joeoshawa> i want to take a generic touchscreen mp4 player and install linux on it so i can figure out a way for it to work like a personal organiser and have it sync with ubuntu anyone know where i can find an interested party?
[22:27] <jospams> i mistakenly set ubuntu as default OS and unchecked the box that gives me 10 secs to select correct OS, now I keep on going to grub and when I select windows boot manager from grub, i come back to grub
[22:27] <bastidrazor> intrader: if you booted into the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel then obviously .... that is the kernel you will have
[22:27] <joeoshawa> damnit meant that for the ubuntu room
[22:27] <joeoshawa> oh well
[22:27] <jospams> I tried windows boot cd, still no luck
[22:27] <joeoshawa> oh ok
[22:27] <guntbert> joeoshawa: you are in #ubuntu - but #ubuntu-offtopic will be better suited
[22:27] <Jordan_U> jospams: You probably accidentily installed grub to your Windows PBR. *never* install grub's boot sector to a partition.
[22:28] <intrader> bastidrazor, thanks for your patience - I will do that on the laptop with problems
[22:28] <jospams> well i used wubi to install ubuntu
[22:28] <Jordan_U> jospams: To confirm, please run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt.
[22:28] <jospams> ok
[22:30] <jon___> well, since my problem has been droped from the face of the Earth, i am going to go screw around in the ubuntu software center
[22:30] <jospams> http://pastebin.com/HuTUYgA0
[22:31] <jospams> aah shouldn't have given the uuid away
[22:31] <red2kic> Heh.  -- Doug Gwyn
[22:33] <jospams> so anyone here to help me?
[22:34] <bastidrazor> intrader: best of luck.
[22:34] <red2kic> jospams: Try hilighting the person that told you to run the script.
[22:34] <jospams> Jordan_U ? http://pastebin.com/HuTUYgA0
[22:35] <cannonball> red2kic: http://motd.ambians.com/quotes.php/name/freebsd_fortunes_6/toc_id/1-0-7/s/2020   Read the first one.
[22:35] <ilera> hi
[22:36] <red2kic> ;(
[22:36] <intrader> bastidrazor, synaptic tells me there is 1 broken package, that I should filter 'Broken', yet "No Packages Selected"
[22:36] <jospams> Jordan_U, please reply if you are still helping me
[22:37] <jospams> i guess not
[22:37] <Jordan_U> jospams: Ok, I was wrong about the problem (I should have read your initial description more carefully). I don't know how to restore the timeout for Windows 7's bootloader, try asking in ##Windows.
[22:37] <jospams> is everything ok?
[22:38] <user246> intrader: (wild guess) is there some text in your search box?  Try clearing that?
[22:38] <rockets> jospams, you need a windows 7 disk to restore the windows 7 bootloader
[22:38] <jospams> i have the disk
[22:38] <jospams> i can open up command promt
[22:38] <jospams> prompt*
[22:38] <Jordan_U> rockets: He has the Windows 7 bootloader, it's just configured to use the Wubi entry by default with no timeout.
[22:39] <intrader> bastidrazor, nothing in the search box
[22:39] <rockets> Jordan_U, oooh that's rough.
[22:39] <rockets> jospams, if you download Hiren's boot disk, it has options like "boot from HD 1, partition 3" etc.
[22:39] <intrader> bastidrazor, I will restart synaptic
[22:39] <jospams> rockets, do you know what to type, I have tried bootrec.exe /FixMbr
[22:40] <Jordan_U> rockets: That won't help either, it will just load the windows bootloader with the same problem.
[22:40] <jospams> rockets, I have ubcd
[22:40] <jospams> can that do that too
[22:40] <rockets> Jordan_U, no it wont.
[22:41] <rockets> jospams, I don't know if UBCD will do it. I recommend getting hirens.
[22:41] <rockets> also jospams http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851681.aspx
[22:41] <jospams> rockets,  I am poor man
[22:41] <jospams> i can't afford hirens
[22:41] <esculapio> hello people
[22:41] <rockets> jospams, what are you talking about hirens is free
[22:42] <intrader> bastidrazor, restarted synaptic, same "No packages selected" after using the "Broken" filter
[22:43] <jospams> rockets, I will try to link
[22:43] <jospams> I think I might need to reinstall wubi
[22:45] <Jordan_U> jospams: You'll need to boot Windows to reinstall wubi...
[22:49] <red2kic> Wubi = Linux on Windows Filesystem = Sluggish = Give Linux Bad Name.
[22:49] <red2kic> :(
[22:50] <edbian> red2kic, What's your point?  Do you have a question?
[22:51] <red2kic> edbian: Nice.
[22:51] <edbian> red2kic, I'm not necessarily agreeing with you. I'm curious why your stating your opinion.
[22:52] <intrader> bastidrazor, restarted synaptic, same "No packages selected" after using the "Broken" filter
[22:52] <Apollonovich> is there a way to blacklist certain updates on my machine?  I want to stop it from updating the kernel automatically.
[22:53] <vgambit`> my broadcom STA wireless drivers stopped working after an update a few days ago
[22:53] <bastidrazor> intrader: did you uninstall the kernl you did not want and kept the kernel you wanted?
[22:53] <raymon> Hi, I'm trying to install drivers to make my new Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch tablet work on ubuntu 10.10. Unpacked the tarball, ran ./configure, then ran 'make" and got: "make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'." Is this right?
[22:53] <vgambit`> Apollonovich: was there a recent kernel update?
[22:54] <Apollonovich> vgambit`: the system seems to push kernel updates out every couple weeks, which is an annoyance since I tend to prefer not to reboot if I can help it.  But I'm running a custom kernel, as I finally fixed a longstanding issue with my machine by doing so, and I don't want it getting clobbered.
[22:54] <guntbert> Apollonovich: you can "lock" the current kernel, so you will keep it anyway, then just tell grub to use it
[22:54] <intrader> bastidrazor, did not get the chance. Synaptic tells me there the a Broken package and in filtering I am left with "No Packages Selected"
[22:55] <Apollonovich> yes, but I don't even want it to download and install the new ones, because a) it takes up disk space on my tiny /boot partition, and b) it makes the system think I need to reboot.
[22:55] <vgambit`> Apollonovich: ah. I think a kernel update might've caused my issue. I was asked to reboot after installing some updates, and my wireless hasn't been working at all since
[22:55] <guntbert> Apollonovich: GUI or CLI?
[22:55] <bastidrazor> intrader: what package is broken?
[22:55] <lrussell> Hi, I have a few questions about the os knoppix. I know this is probablly the wrong place to ask but any help would be apperactied.
[22:56] <vgambit`> so I guess my real question for you all is, would the fix for my wireless issue be to roll back to a previous kernel? if so, how could I do this?
[22:56] <Apollonovich> vgambit`: haven't had wireless issues, but my dvd drives have been broken since I updated to lucid.  they were still bootable, but not mountable.  rebuilt with ATA support added back and SATA cdrom support stripped out, and all is well.
[22:56] <guntbert> lrussell: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[22:56] <intrader> bastidrazor, tells me there is Broken package that I should filter for - yet finds nothing
[22:56] <Apollonovich> guntbert: I suppose I'd prefer a CLI method.  I'm running kde, but like CLI ways of doing things when I can....
[22:57] <bastidrazor> intrader: odd.
[22:58] <hotel> hey room
[22:58] <Loshki> lrussell: try #knoppix...
[22:59] <guntbert> Apollonovich: sorry, I only know the GUI way (for a short time at least): in the update manager you can check which updates you want to download (I used that to keep my old kernel for several weeks)
[22:59] <Apollonovich> hrm...that's in gnome/synaptic I assume?
[22:59] <panel_pixel> hello
[23:00] <panel_pixel> I am trying to hide panels but they still show a pixel
[23:00] <Odaym> how do i add the wireless connections' icon to my panel?
[23:00] <panel_pixel> even with option in metacity set to 0
[23:01] <panel_pixel> Odaym: network manager applet?
[23:01] <Odaym> ah yes
[23:01] <kroimpa> OH
[23:01] <kroimpa> it works
[23:01] <kroimpa> :)

[23:01] <intrader> bastidrazor, I am running out of steam with this. All I want is to have my system like it was this morning before the update.
[23:01] <famthegeek> Thinking of installing ubuntu on my 6gb ram laptop, but i dont know i i can find the correct drivers for my wifi card?
[23:02] <Odaym> yes panel_pixel, the network manager applet
[23:02] <guntbert> famthegeek: try it with the live CD
[23:02] <panel_pixel> Odaym: alt+f2 and type nm-applet
[23:02] <panel_pixel> Odaym: alt+f2 and type nm-applet
[23:02] <DaPenguin> famthegeek, ubuntu is pretty good for wireless drivers. installed my broadcom drivers np
[23:02] <panel_pixel> Odaym: and check system preferences startup applications see if network manager is enabled there
[23:02] <famthegeek> Ok, tnx for the advice didnt think of it
[23:03] <hotel> I can't play video or control audio in ubuntu, Any one know what config file to edit for the audio?  And how to make video work at all?
[23:03] <panel_pixel> I am trying to hide panels but they still show a pixel... is there a fix for this?
[23:03] <panel_pixel> can I use -1 value in metacity?
[23:03] <famthegeek> Asked the same question in the forum some days ago, still no answer. thank god for irc
[23:03] <raymon> I'm trying to install drivers to make my new Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch tablet work on ubuntu 10.10. Unpacked the tarball, ran ./configure, then ran 'make" and got: "make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'." Is this right?
[23:04] <famthegeek> Should i use LST or 10.10
[23:04] <edbian> famthegeek, That's a choice you should make for yourself.  There is no right answer.
[23:05] <famthegeek> think i will go for 10.10 as will have no proplem ceaping it up to date, tnx by the way
[23:05] <edbian> famthegeek, Sure.  Good luck
[23:05] <Odaym> ceaping?
[23:05] <Odaym> :o
[23:06] <hotel> I can't play video or control audio in ubuntu, Any one know what config file to edit for the audio?  And how to make video work at all?
[23:06] <raymon> famthegeek: Only issue I've had with 10.10 is that recording sound directly from the soundcard with audacity no longer works..
[23:06] <lemonchickenftl> i just updated my eee-pc from 10.04 to 10.10
[23:07] <lemonchickenftl> now windows are bigger than my screen and stuff
[23:07] <Apollonovich> guntbert: I hear aptitude hold [packagename] works...can't find any proof that it actually did, but I'm thinking since I tagged my custom kernel, the system no longer sees me as on the "linux-image-generic" upgradepath.
[23:07] <lemonchickenftl> im using netbook edition, wtf?
[23:07] <panel_pixel> !wtf | lemonchickenftl
[23:07] <lemonchickenftl> since when did netbook editition become not so much netbook edition
[23:08] <famthegeek> raymon, tnx for the advice ill stick with LST
[23:08] <lemonchickenftl> thx for the help thar panel_pixel
[23:08] <raymon> np
[23:08] <famthegeek> raymond, you from norway?
[23:08] <guntbert> Apollonovich: I still think it will eventually pull in a new kernel (that doesn't "replace" the old one) but please do try it
[23:09] <lemonchickenftl> also: fuck you.
[23:09] <IdleOne> !language | lemonchickenftl
[23:09] <lemonchickenftl> lmao
[23:09] <lemonchickenftl> eat dicks
[23:09] <DaPenguin> that was interesting...
[23:09] <guntbert> said the chicken before it left
[23:10] <Odaym> what a lost little boy
[23:10] <intrader> DaPenguin, bastidrazor, I am running out of steam with this. All I want is to have my system like it was this morning before the update.
[23:12] <dejan_> how to set writing permisions for a file I need to edit it
[23:12] <raymon> dejan: chmod 755
[23:13] <raymon> chmod 755 <filename>
[23:17] <daniel> hello i just installed ubuntu does anyone want to pm me and give me a crash course on what i need to do to get the most out of this
[23:17] <Jade> hi
[23:18] <Jade> is there any way to enable the framebuffer and have /dev/fb0 with the generic <IP_ADDRESS> kernel?
[23:18] <bastidrazor> !manual > daniel
[23:18] <dejan_> raymon: what is that
[23:18] <Jade> i tried to google it and add options to grub.. all it did was make grub scale to my lcd resolution
[23:18] <Jade> but it didnt create any framebugger for tty's
[23:18] <Danielcg25> Ok, I've just bought a 1TB harddrive :) :) :)
[23:19] <Jade> i really cant find any information anywhere about this, or the one i find is outdated
[23:19] <Danielcg25> I need to transfer all my data from my old one, can I boot into Ubuntu (installed on a third drive) and copy everything? Windows and all?
[23:22] <dejan_> i have some problem
[23:22] <brucelee> Is there a program similar to windows 'ghost' disk imaging - using maverick
[23:22] <dejan_> somehow i am using different user for apache
[23:22] <Jade> brucelee, dd?
[23:22] <dejan_> and i don't have permisions for writing files
[23:22] <Jade> dd if=/dev/sda3 of=somefile
[23:22] <dejan_> how to solve this
[23:22] <mohadib> pulseaudio cause loud white noise from my right channel, any way to fix this?
[23:22] <dejan_> im using apache
[23:22] <Jade> then you restore it with dd if=file of=/dev/sda3
[23:22] <Jade> replace sda3 with your partition
[23:23] <Jade> you might want to read up a bit on dd first though
[23:23] <Jade> so you dont screw up
[23:23] <brucelee> I mean to a dvd/s
[23:23] <Jade> ah
[23:23] <Jade> tar it up
[23:23] <Jade> tar -cvvf something.tar /home, then burn it
[23:23] <brucelee> will this be auto loading from the drive?
[23:24] <Jade> what do you mea
[23:24] <Jade> mean*
[23:25] <raymon> dejan: open the file you need to edit with the command: "sudo <favourite editor> <filename>
[23:25] <mohadib> why do we even use pulseaudio
[23:25] <brucelee> imagine a major error, no more ubuntu yet I want to keep all my programs etc and desktop as it was, could I pop a DVD in the drive and load the image just like norton's ghost?
[23:25] <mohadib> it seems to be nothing but problems
[23:25] <Jade>  i dont know
[23:25] <Apollonovich> so...is there a reason why the IDE modules aren't included with the -generic kernel anymore?
[23:25] <Jade> why isnt the framebuffer enabled by default?
[23:25] <mohadib> is their a payoff for all the costs?
[23:25] <dejan_> how can I give apache user access to edit file?
[23:25] <dejan_> my pache server is set to use apache user
[23:26] <guntbert> mohadib: if you have a support question ask it, ranting here won't help
[23:26] <dejan_> and it don't have permision to write files
[23:26] <Danielcg25> There's a reason why IDE isn't the standard anymore =P
[23:26] <mohadib> i was ranting
[23:26] <mohadib> generally curios
[23:26] <DaPenguin> dejan_, giving an apache user perms to write files is probably a bad idea...
[23:26] <Apollonovich> Danielcg25: that's cute, but there are lots of people who still own hardware with IDE
[23:26] <mohadib> if i remove pulseaudio, do i lose anything?
[23:26] <mohadib> wasnt ranting*
[23:27] <Danielcg25> lol I know
[23:27] <Apollonovich> support dropped in lucid, and killed my dvd drives, and now I have to run a custom kernel?  I don't *mind* per se, but that strikes me as retarded.
[23:27] <hihihi100> i cannot access my external hard drive, gparted recognizes it, help please
[23:27] <dejan_> DaPenguin: any suggestion what should I do?
[23:27] <dejan_> I need to write into few files that are in www folder
[23:28] <DaPenguin> dejan_, sudo up to edit the files you need to.
[23:28] <dejan_> can I make the files open for writing?
[23:28] <dejan_> no no
[23:28] <arand> hihihi100: It does not show up in the file manager?
[23:28] <dejan_> you don't understood me, I have php script that edit some files in www folder
[23:28] <hihihi100> arand, no
[23:29] <hihihi100> arand, i plug the cable, and nothing happens
[23:29] <hihihi100> plug in i mean
[23:29] <dejan_> when I open the php file (execute the script) it should write into few files
[23:29] <dejan_> 5 files only
[23:29] <arand> hihihi100: And it does show up as a valid partition in gparted you say?
[23:29] <dejan_> can I make these files open for writing ?
[23:29] <arand> hihihi100: With a valid filesystem
[23:30] <dejan_> i think i can do this with chmod command
[23:30] <digiv> What is the best file system format for 5TB?
[23:30] <dejan_> im new to linux sry
[23:30] <DaPenguin> dejan_, you can change the owner of those files to the apache user
[23:30] <hihihi100> arand, yes, it shows the partitions, filesystem, label, size, used, unused, flags...
[23:30] <dejan_> is that better or should I lower the access of the files?
[23:31] <hihihi100> arand, ext4 mostly, of my external HD
[23:31] <DaPenguin> dejan_, well, think about it this way. who do you want to have write access to those files?
[23:31] <arand> hihihi100: If you try to mount it: "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt" does it produce errors?
[23:31] <dtcrshr> bazhang, installing 10.10 now, on the bootup live system the problem with wpa2-enterprise continues. I can connect to wired, 3g and in a wpa router iv brought to test if the wireless device was corrupted
[23:32] <raymon> dejan probably better to control who can change the files... depends on what they are.
[23:32] <arand> hihihi100: Replace X & Y
[23:32] <famthegeek> brb
[23:32] <dejan_> DaPenguin: for these files only me now, but later I will also need permsion for visitors of my website to upload files
[23:32] <dejan_> :S
[23:33] <hihihi100> arand, where do I specify the filesystem?= at the end of the command?
[23:33] <arand> hihihi100: It should ick it up automatically.
[23:33] <dejan_> so I have 2 problems for these files which only I should edit and 2) visitors should be able to upload images
[23:34] <hihihi100> arand, my mistake, I have mounted it via your command, I dont see it in my filesystem...
[23:34] <arand> hihihi100: You can specify it using "-t ext4" I think, but if it doesn't detect it automatically there's normally something wrong
[23:34] <hihihi100> arand, drop that
[23:34] <dejan_> problem 1) I need to edit some files with php script - only I should edit the files   problem 2) Visitors of my website should be able to upload images in onne folder
[23:34] <hihihi100> arand: hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[23:34] <hihihi100> hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$
[23:35] <dejan_> pls any suggestions
[23:35] <arand> hihihi100: and if you "ls /mnt"
[23:35] <Odaym> i downloaded Firefox 4 and untarred it in a directory
[23:35] <Odaym> how do i go about installing it now?
[23:35] <Odaym> i tried to "./firefox-bin"
[23:35] <Odaym> but it says "libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[23:36] <arand> !firefox4 | Odaym
[23:36] <hihihi100> arand, ls /mnt
[23:36] <hihihi100> Documents  lost+found  Music  Videos
[23:36] <hihihi100> , its the internal tree structure of my external HD, but, how do I get to see, add, delete, copy files?
[23:36] <Odaym> what is a PPA, arand?
[23:37] <arand> !ppa | Odaym
[23:37] <Odaym> ah thank you
[23:39] <arand> hihihi100: Let's see, if you do "sudo chown $USER /mnt" can you then acceess  it as a normal user?
[23:39] <dtcrshr> took a look on syslog, i got this error uppon some others wlan0 supplicant connection state associated -> disconnected
[23:39] <dtcrshr> deauthenticating from local choice reason=3
[23:39] <dtcrshr> wpa_supplicant CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED event remove keys
[23:40] <hihihi100> arand, nothing
[23:40] <arand> hihihi100: I don't understand why it wouldn't show up in the file manager though, if it is healthy, since that is the default behaviour...
[23:41] <arand> hihihi100: So the command was succesful then?
[23:41] <arand> hihihi100: If you open the file browser and go to file system /mnt do you see the files, and can you edit them?
[23:42] <hihihi100> arand, i tried hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$ sudo chown $USER /mnt
[23:42] <hihihi100> hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$
[23:42] <hihihi100> , I have tried with sudo chown $hihihi100 /mnt too, just to get "missing operand after `/mnt'"
[23:42] <hihihi100> arand, YOU made my day...
[23:42] <hihihi100> thx, i can see them
[23:42] <Guest85483> hi. i removed fedora and installed ubuntu 10.10. there's also windows on my hdd, encrypted using truecrypt. after installing ubuntu, grub was in the mbr (although i chose a seperate boot partition). i restored the truecrypt bootloader and now i am not able to boot linux as truecrypt bl says "no bootable partitions found". what can i do?
[23:43] <arand> hihihi100: Note that if the commands are succeful, the generally don't produce any output.
[23:43] <hihihi100> arand, thatsd why I tried your original instead of my substitution of USER for hihihi100
[23:45] <arand> hihihi100: Yea, $USER picks up the environment variable And replaces, so the command actually being passed to the chown program is "chwon ihihi100 /mnt"
[23:45] <arand> s/chwon/chown/
[23:47] <billy_> hello, i am trying to open a folder in ubuntu, but it wont let me because i am not "the owner"
[23:47] <arand> hihihi100: But it still remains a mystery why the file bowser doesn't do the equivalent automatically, since it normally should... I have no idea..
[23:47] <daniel> is there a transparent theme that makes pretty much everything transparentish?
[23:49] <arand> billy_: Which folder? And likely it is indeed so, and so by design.
[23:50] <shesek> Hey. When I set alt-shift to change keyboard layout, alt-shift-tab to switch to the previous window stops working. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 with Compiz enabled. Does anyone know of a way to fix that?
[23:50] <hihihi100> arand, I may be having this bug, Im pretty sure my machine has it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/702093
[23:50] <billy_> hello, i am trying to open a folder in ubuntu, but it wont let me because i am not "the owner" how can i get into it
[23:51] <_antant> where do I find makeinfo? Apparently it can't find the package
[23:51] <terry> shesek: You may need to use another keyboard combination for changing keyboard layout.
[23:51] <arbir> how can i run flash on my powerpc. i am unable to run any youtube video with gnash
[23:52] <terry> billy_: sudo
[23:52] <shesek> terry, well, obviously, this is what I'm doing now, but its a bit annoying. Its used to work fine on older versions of Ubuntu
[23:52] <arand> hihihi100: Hmm, as far as I can tell I don't think that is your problem no.
[23:52] <snake_> I'm trying to find an alternative to Apple Shake that is free. Can anyone help me because I googled this forever..
[23:53] <terry> shesek: Well, I just ventured a gues.  Not sure.
[23:53] <hihihi100> arand, I didnt tell you that my machine starts automatically with nautilus activated
[23:53] <_antant> terry: any idea on my makeinfo problem?
[23:53] <hihihi100> arand, and it all started after an update, but I cannot recall which one, and this is the second time it has happened, last time with 9.04 or 9.10, not sure
[23:53] <billy_> terry: is there a way to do it without the terminal, im setting up this computer for my sister, who is less than computer savy, i want to let her get into her document folder in windows with the "root" folder in the base of the filesyetem, im using wubi
[23:54] <arand> hihihi100: Hmm, confusing
[23:54] <Polah> arbir: sudo apt-get purge gnash && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[23:54] <hihihi100> arand, trash icon is gone, i cannot acces trash either, message that appears: Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported
[23:55] <_antant> anyone know why I can't find makeinfo or build-essentials ?
[23:56] <_antant> am I missing a repo?
[23:56] <terry> billy_: You're going to have to tell us the exact directory location.
[23:56] <terry> _antant: What was your question?  I didn't see it.
[23:57] <_antant> Trying to install makeinfo, but it can't find it
[23:57] <_antant> Then I tried build-essentials and same problem
[23:57] <terry> billy_: Tell us more explicitly what you're trying to do.
[23:58] <_antant> sudo apt-get install makeinfo build-essentials
[23:58] <arbir> Polah: there is no flashplugin-installer for powerpc
[23:58] <Polah> arbir: Oh, I assumed you were using Ubuntu since you asked in here, I didn't see powerpc
[23:58] <_antant> oh, and msgfmt
[23:59] <arbir> Polah: in a manner of saying… i am using ubuntu. i am using squeeze update 6.01
[23:59] <terry> arbir: You can not install adobe-flashplugin via the package manager?
[23:59] <bazhang> arbir, debian ppc?
[23:59] <arbir> terry: tht package is no there for power pc
