[06:43] <illio> I have problems with a bluetooth keyboard (Logitect DiNovo Edge) in grub, because it's not available there and I need both Windows and Linux installed (the grief of being a corporate studge developer).. anyway, I was wondering if there is an option in grub to enable ones mouse instead.. it's wired, so if I can enable it that should be sufficient to choose the right OS.. then the keyboard is irrelevant
[06:43] <fidel> ah - no just thunderbird
[06:44] <w00tmars> it asks create directories for web based administration, what should i do buntu
[06:44] <fidel> almoxarife: its ok - gonna jump to xfce
[06:44] <buntu> w00tmars, what are you trying to do again?
[06:44] <aBound> fidel, I would say for you to create a dummy profile for Thunderbird to see if it's not your main profile being affected.
[06:44] <w00tmars> buntu: well the directory is now accessible, ive setup LAMP
[06:44] <w00tmars> and now i got that window i told you about
[06:44] <almoxarife> fidel: you could trying to uninstall tb, purge the confs, and re-install, assuming it works afterwards cool, otherwise it would be wondering what the vm is doing
[06:44] <aBound> fidel, http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/profiles?s=full+screen&as=s#w_on-linux-ubuntu
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> illio: can your BIOS set bluetooth autostart?
[06:45] <buntu> w00tmars, tell me again about the window. I didn't see your msg.
[06:46] <w00tmars> buntu: on query?
[06:46] <aBound> With Firefox and Thunderbird profiles can be corrupted.
[06:46] <illio> lotuspsychje, hmm.. not certain what you mean?
[06:46] <mylifeisfine> hai all
[06:46] <aBound> Whereas they start to act up.
[06:47] <illio> lotuspsychje, oh it's a bios option I didn't know :-)..
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> illio: like usb keyboards can be started from BIOS or Operating system, maybe your bluetooth can also?
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> illio: maybe...
[06:47] <mylifeisfine> i need a small help i do inside a directory a command $grep -rin "current_user" app/ so it lists all files with that word.. what command should i use to replace all occurences of that words to some other word ??
[06:48] <mylifeisfine> i am a bit new to linux.. pls help :) thanks
[06:48] <illio> lotuspsychje, hmm yeah.. I don't think it can, but I should probably check more carefully when I get back to that machine (I'm away from it on a laptop atm).. What I've tried up till now is just to enable legacy usb support, which apparently sometimes helps..
[06:48] <illio> lotuspsychje, but obviously didn't in this case ;-)
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> illio: its worth a try :p
[06:49] <illio> lotuspsychje, do you know anything about possible mouse support in GRUB? I've tried googling like a crazy person, but haven't found anything reliable sadly..
[06:49] <illio> lotuspsychje, yeah.. I'll try to look more carefully into that when I get back.. thanks for the suggestion.
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> illio: im not sure grub can be operated by a mouse (if thats what u mean)?
[06:50] <mylifeisfine> please help....
[06:50] <mylifeisfine> ^^^^^^
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> !grep | mylifeisfine
[06:51] <illio> lotuspsychje, yeah that's what I meant.. but no.. probably can't .. I can also see it seems like the only bootloader capable of supporting mice is the new Windows 8 bootloader.. so crap :-P
[06:51] <buntu> lotusphyschje, thank you for pointing to pysdm. Worked like a charm.
[06:51] <mylifeisfine> lotuspsychje: i do grep to find occurences in files.. it list all the files.. how can i replace using rpl comand ?
[06:51] <lotuspsychje> buntu: my pleasure mate
[06:52] <aBound> HA! How do I go about learning "grep" to begin with?
[06:52] <buntu> lotusphyschje, quick opinion, ext4 or ntfs?
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> illio: grub isnt meant to fool around with mouse i think, just configged in your needs
[06:53] <MxxC> last month i submitted a bug about b43-fwcutter package that affects both 11.04 and 11.10 but nobody replied to it..is there any way for it to get attention?
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> buntu: i use it ntfs(other data drives)
[06:54] <buntu> lotusphyschje: EXT4 for OS? NTFS for personal files?
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> buntu: yes thats my layout
[06:54] <almoxarife> MxxC: might ask in #ubuntu-dev
[06:55] <lotuspsychje> buntu: your boot drive ext4 automounts of course, ntfs not by default
[06:56] <buntu> lotuspsychje: Perfect information. Have a good day/night/weekend.
[06:56] <MxxC> almoxarife: that channel is empty..
[06:56] <lotuspsychje> buntu: anytime :p
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: what kinda bug is it?
[06:58] <MxxC> lotuspsychje: firmware-b43legacy-installer and firmware-b43-installer packages each keep saying that i should install the other one
[06:58] <MxxC> this is the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/909996
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: so you can install your network driver by this bug?
[06:59] <illio> lotuspsychje, fair.. I'll try to check out bluetooth autostart.. who knows? it might be supported ;-)
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> cant*
[06:59] <MxxC> lotuspsychje: correct
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> illio: i would give it a try yes, and maybe autostart usb keyboards by BIOS, not Os
[07:00] <illio> lotuspsychje, cool.. I'll try.. thanks
[07:00] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: i once needed to insert ubuntu install cd to manually find the b43 driver before i could install network...
[07:00] <MxxC> lotuspsychje: i have eth0 working
[07:03] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: try to uninstall the legacy one
[07:04] <MxxC> lotuspsychje: i tried uninstalling, installing and reinstalling all 3 packages in every combination possible
[07:04] <ch__> cccciaaaooo
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: i think the installer one should be enough...
[07:05] <MxxC> lotuspsychje: my bug report has output of me trying ot install just "-installer" one
[07:05] <MxxC> it says can't find compatible device and tells me to use legacy one
[07:05] <MaxHeadRoom> Hello, started resizing and moving a part on a usb external HD using the gui tool, its stuck at 66% complete, shows no further progress, drive is still getting action... how long should I wait before I kill the program?  am concerned about what state the drive will be in
[07:06] <gaurav_tablet> Am i Using unity 3D or  unity2d in ubuntu 11.10
[07:06] <MxxC> MaxHeadRoom: if there's activity, wait or you'll destroy your data
[07:06] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: maybe the bug each other
[07:06] <lotuspsychje> !it | ch__
[07:08] <MaxHeadRoom> MxxC: thats what I figured... but how long to wait til I admit that it is stuck and bite the bullit?  The drive is 700gig, and I am shrinking it by 10g and moving it 10g to the right
[07:08] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: so what happens with the legacy one only?
[07:09] <MxxC> lotuspsychje: it errors twice, says no supported card and tells me to install not-legacy one
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> I am trying to execute this command from within an application echo my_password | sudo -H -S -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS -u root -- /path/app   but it doesn't launch app (app is a GUI application) , but the app terminates and doesn't run , how to fix it ?
[07:10] <learner> hi, my laptop just autoupdated some xorg files, after this i think im noticing video is a litle bit faster now and loooks sharper and my computer is cooler, am i right or im just seeing things???
[07:10] <MxxC> learner: are you complaining when things work better? :)
[07:11] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: lol that sounds not to good, did you clean install ocelot or upgreade to?
[07:11] <fidel> learner: difficult for us to judge ;)
[07:11] <learner> no im not lol XD
[07:11] <MxxC> lotuspsychje: 11.04 was upgrade from 10.10, 11.10 was a clean install
[07:12] <MxxC> it worked in 10.04 and 10.10
[07:12] <learner> im just, like always had overheating issues, but i dont know if the recent update actually did something, or im just overreeacting :P
[07:12] <crizzy> haa, just a random fyi: latest ati drivers (12.1) FINALLY fix problems with gnome-shell + fullscreen opengl games with ati cards
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> MxxC: so clean install ocelot doesnt recognize your wifi card right?
[07:12] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: Why such a long command?
[07:13] <silv3r_m00n> bobo37774: how can I make it shorter
[07:13] <learner> yeah btw i use unity compiz on 11.10 with the open-source drivers
[07:13] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: echo password | sudo -S /my/app/place
[07:13] <Kimmen> silv3r_m00n: my guess is that when the command runs, it runs as root. root can't open display
[07:15] <learner> instead of a question im loooking if someone can confirm the latest xorg update and what did it change or if the chages where relevant... im am noob in all of this :(
[07:15] <silv3r_m00n> no the program terminates , in a terminal if I type sudo app , and then while the app is running if I Ctrl+X the terminal then sudo terminates and the app also terminates , but if I do a gksudo app , and do Ctrl+X then gksudo terminates but app continues to run , I guess a similar thing is happening when I try to launch the command from within another app
[07:16] <benwalburn> is anyone having trouble mounting usb storage in 11.10? I haven't been able to since an update about a month ago
[07:16] <silv3r_m00n> how can I execute a command in the terminal , such that after launching the command , the terminal returns ?
[07:16] <MxxC> learner: take a look at the change log of the updated packages and see if there's indeed something that improved things
[07:16] <aeon-ltd> silv3r_m00n: detaching the term, or backgrounding i think is what you're after
[07:16] <silv3r_m00n> aeon-ltd: yup
[07:17] <silv3r_m00n> I tried the -b option for sudo , but that didn't work  , how can I detach the term ?
[07:17] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: command & disown
[07:17] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: echo password | sudo -S /my/app/place & disown
[07:18] <silv3r_m00n> $ sudo wireshark & disown
[07:18] <silv3r_m00n> [1] 14211
[07:18] <silv3r_m00n> not launching wireshark
[07:18] <FloodBot1> silv3r_m00n: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:18] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: If you are not piping your password to sudo it won't work that way.
[07:19] <silv3r_m00n> oh wait
[07:19] <pip> !ciao
[07:19] <silv3r_m00n> cool , it is accepting it
[07:19] <learner> sudo gedit /var/log/apt/term.log?
[07:19] <pip> !list
[07:19] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: After launching command hit -->     "ctrl+z"     then type  "bg"    then type   "disown"
[07:20] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: Learn to do it this way ^^
[07:21] <silv3r_m00n> sure , but it doesn't work in the other app , here is a sample code wxString a = wxT("echo my_pass | sudo -S ") + wxStandardPaths::Get().GetExecutablePath() + wxT(" & disown"); ::wxExecute(a); exit(0);
[07:21] <silv3r_m00n> it does not launch the app
[07:21] <silv3r_m00n> I guess its offtopic but just want to show the approach
[07:22] <bobo37774> silv3r_m00n: Sorry I don't know widgets or gui programming.
[07:23] <bobo37774> learner: I do not think the answers you are looking for are offline or local on your computer. If you want an xorg-server channelog or similar you will have to search online.
[07:24] <benwalburn> is anyone having trouble mounting usb storage in 11.10? I haven't been able to since an update about a month ago
[07:24] <learner> yeah, thanks, im googlin right now, thanks sorry for  my ignorance, im learning now : p
[07:25] <bobo37774> benwalburn: Does it work if you mount it manually?
[07:26] <jeus> when execute this command for install NVIDIA driver " sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run" get this error "You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.  For               further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the   README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com."
[07:26] <benwalburn> How would I do that? I'm trying to mount an android phone
[07:26] <bobo37774> jeus: Why don't you want to use the prepackaged nvidia drivers?
[07:27] <bobo37774> benwalburn: When you plug it in does it show up anywhere? If you type "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal do you see it near the bottom of the output?
[07:27] <jeus> becuse have problem and disable unity 3d bobo37774
[07:27] <c_nick_> I have 3 evolution backups as i was running evolution on three machines.. Now i want to merge them together into one single instance of Evolution.. how should i go about it
[07:28] <bobo37774> jeus: I think that the closed source nvidia 3d driver is obtainable directly through Ubuntu without the need to install the one from the website.
[07:29] <benwalburn> it shows up
[07:29] <bobo37774> jeus: The nvidia website I mean. Did you search for nvidia in the software center?
[07:29] <bobo37774> benwalburn: So you should be able to mount it with the "mount" command.
[07:30] <benwalburn> it isn't mounted? ah
[07:30] <bobo37774> benwalburn: Isn't that what your problem is?
[07:30] <benwalburn> it says it's mounted
[07:30] <jeus> can u help me with teamviewer bobo37774
[07:30] <bobo37774> benwalburn: Where?
[07:31] <bobo37774> jeus: ok open a private chat with me right now
[07:31] <benwalburn> it says /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/usb0 mount failed
[07:31] <Evilkiss> Hi!
[07:32] <Evilkiss> Everything ok?
[07:32] <bobo37774> benwalburn: Mount failed is your probelm. Maybe it is a permissions problem. Try to mount it with the mount command.
[07:32] <benwalburn> that is the result of me using the mount command
[07:34] <w00tmars> Hi
[07:34] <w00tmars> im having a sound driver problem can someone help
[07:35] <benwalburn> in the gui for my folders, the usb device shows up under Devices and again under Computer, but I can't view it unless I click the one listed under Computer
[07:35] <larsk103> I have a possible bug with Ubuntu 11.10 and the mpt2sas driver (or possibly other place in the kernel), but I don't know where to go with this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[07:36] <thatguy> ?
[07:36] <thatguy> Anyone on?
[07:36] <thatguy> I got a problem with the installation.
[07:37] <Evilkiss> thatguy: O, no!!!
[07:37] <w00tmars> someone help?
[07:37] <w00tmars> i need sound driver for realtek
[07:37] <w00tmars> i download the alsa something their website gave, not sure how to install
[07:37] <thatguy> Evil Kiss can you help me out?
[07:38] <urlin2u> !ask > thatguy
[07:38] <Evilkiss> thatguy: with that installation?
[07:40] <thatguy> does anyone here know anything about how the fuck to fix my problem?
[07:41] <auronandace> thatguy: unless you explain the problem then no. watch the language too
[07:41] <thatguy> I did explain it.
[07:41] <thatguy> I will explain it again.
[07:41] <bazhang> thatguy, ask a real question, all on ONE line

[07:42] <thatguy> Thanks.
[07:43] <silv3r_m00n> is it ok to run GUI apps like this sudo -S app ?
[07:43] <auronandace> !gksudo | silv3r_m00n
[07:44] <silv3r_m00n> auronandace: actually I am passing the password in the same line , so have to use sudo , so wondering if it would be suitable by adding more options
[07:45] <auronandace> silv3r_m00n: gksudo will ask you for the password
[07:45] <chia> ciao
[07:46] <silv3r_m00n> I don't want it to ask
[07:47] <auronandace> silv3r_m00n: why
[07:47] <silv3r_m00n> because it is being launched from another application , not the terminal
[07:48] <auronandace> silv3r_m00n: in that case i don't know what is suitable sorry

[07:56] <Kevin`> how can I have ubuntu set the transmit power of a wifi adapter (as a config option, on boot etc)

[07:58] <thatguy> I wanted to run have two os's on the same laptop windows 7 and linux, So I burned what I thought was ununtu onto a disk and installed it but instead it was a cloud server thing.
[07:59] <thatguy> since then I can't get into windows 7.
[07:59] <bazhang> thatguy, what was the actual name of the 'cloud server thing'
[07:59] <urlin2u> thatguy, you have a windows disc?
[07:59] <bazhang> thatguy, was it 'jolicloud'?
[07:59] <thatguy> So I thought I i put ununtu on it I could delete the cloud server thing and access windows 7 again
[08:00] <thatguy> Let me look for the actual name
[08:01] <Kartagis> is it possible to get gnome-screenshot alone from git? a bug was fixed

[08:52] <subb1> according to 'THe options' section of this page, how many options do we have to install a driver for ati card on lucid? 4 has been said but as we read down, the options are mixed up and is confusing. Please advise.

[08:56] <Polwar> hai everyone
[08:57] <dubey> hello
[08:57] <Polwar> can i get some ubuntu insight please?
[08:58] <dubey> i have installed Ubuntu11.10 with xen kernel 4.1, but if config doesn't shows any xenbr0
[08:59] <subb1> bobo37774, any clue?
[09:00] <Polwar> its actually about command line. im trying to flash a .zip file on a phone so i figured ubuntu would be my best bet. should i take this to #android instead? i just need the command
[09:01] <sala> hi, is this makes any sense? http://pastebin.com/1BCGcqGW i'm trying to find the previous shutdown status of ubuntu server (either force/clean shutdown, etc)
[09:02] <VectorX> hi, while installing ubuntu, it seems like it starts to donwload software, im on a slow connection so this takes a very long time, where are these files saved so i can copy them to the iso ?
[09:08] <Stereocaulon> After the update from Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.10 I´m having trouble with the scim replacement ibus. The majority of programs show ¨No input screeen¨ whereas scim worked in *any* application. Dead keys don´t work anymore and I can´ t type any Japanese anymore, even though I do have both ibus and Anthy installed. Any hints how to fix this?
[09:09] <bobo37774> subb1: Sorry. I have been gone. I am in a pm with someone. Also doing remote desktop.
[09:09] <bobo37774> subb1: Not sure about ati. I am off to bed.
[09:09] <subb1> bobo37774, its okay. shall ask some else :)
[09:10] <Kartagis> is it possible to get gnome-screenshot alone from git? a bug was fixed
[09:11] <Stereocaulon> Kartagis, why don't you use shutter instead?
[09:11] <Kartagis> Stereocaulon: shutter?
[09:11] <Stereocaulon> Kartagis, it is a terrific screenshot program
[09:13] <Kartagis> Stereocaulon: can I have it to be the default?
[09:13] <Stereocaulon> Kartagis, of course, it's just another program
[09:13] <subb1> guys anybody up for clearing a small confusion about ati driver selection issue on lucid?
[09:14] <Kartagis> Stereocaulon: I mean, Shutter when I hit PrintScreen
[09:15] <Stereocaulon> Kartagis, you can probably configure your desktop that way, but I wouldn't know how
[09:15] <r0b-> hey anyone here?
[09:16] <Stereocaulon> I'm having trouble getting ibus to work, even after a purge delete of both scim and ibus. Afterwards I reinstalled ibus and all neccessary libs and plugins, but the tray-icon won't show up nor can I type any Japanese.
[09:16] <Stereocaulon> I did restart afterward of course, but to no avail
[09:16] <r0b-> does ubuntu finally support Linksys WUSB54GC v3 Wifi USB devices?
[09:17] <Stereocaulon> r0b, that does not depend on Ubuntu but on the kernel version, just check the Linux hardware compatibility tables for the kernel you use.
[09:18] <r0b-> where would i find this?
[09:18] <r0b-> google?
[09:18] <Stereocaulon> r0b-, you guessed it.
[09:18] <Stereocaulon> !compatibility | r0b-
[09:19] <Stereocaulon> !hardware | r0b-
[09:19] <AVela> i'am having problem in flash player upgrade in firefox i can't load video or play video in facebook but i can watch in youtube. anyone could help me?
[09:20] <AVela> my OS is ubuntu 8.04LTS
[09:20] <Stereocaulon> AVela, please upgrade, your Flash player included in the 8.04 LTS is *way* too old.
[09:21] <r0b-> looks like its hit or miss
[09:21] <subb1> please suggest the best install method for my mobility radeon card on ubuntu lucid. The suggested options are here but i find them confusing:
[09:21] <subb1> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide#The_Options
[09:22] <AVela> i already try to install a flashplugin-nonfree but its still not work
[09:22] <Stereocaulon> AVela, another remedy would be an extension for firefox that should select the latest working Flash module. It's called Flash-Aid
[09:22] <AVela> ah....
[09:22] <r0b-> ugh i dislike my USB wifi device
[09:22] <r0b-> its hit or miss on ubuntu
[09:23] <Stereocaulon> r0b-, complain with Linksys for not being more open on their devices...Try RaLink instead
[09:23] <metaspike> r0b-, you'll have more luck with a ralink chipset, they actually have linux drivers.
[09:23] <r0b-> i think this uses an RAlink chipset
[09:23] <r0b-> but im not sure
[09:23] <Stereocaulon> metaspike, ninja'd
[09:23] <r0b-> right now i use windows
[09:24] <metaspike> ah
[09:24] <metaspike> :)
[09:24] <AVela> okey... can you help me how can i install flash-aid it using terminal
[09:24] <Syph3r> does anyone have a really good tut on ubuntu lamp
[09:25] <ssfdre38> Syph3r, i do hold on
[09:25] <Stereocaulon> r0b-, try using the Ubuntu liveCD, type lsusb | less  <= This will show you what the chipset is that Ubuntu detects.
[09:25] <ssfdre38> Syph3r, http://docs.ssfdre38.com/tutorials/server/ubuntu-apache-web-host
[09:25] <Stereocaulon> AVela, you can't it's a Firefox extension.
[09:25] <metaspike> AVela, try running firefox from console like this: firefox -safe-mode . to see if something in your home directory is interferring
[09:26] <r0b-> well im setting up a ubuntu VM on this laptop
[09:26] <r0b-> the laptop is not the PC with the chipset
[09:26] <Syph3r> ssfdre38: thanks going to review it up
[09:28] <AVela> okey thanks i will try it now
[09:28] <tarelerulz> any one have ntfs partition made by windows 7 ?  If so have you copy files over and when you boot into windows they are deleted ?
[09:29] <iceroot> tarelerulz: no
[09:29] <erfolg> tarelerulz, be sure to use cp and not mv
[09:29] <llutz> tarelerulz: make sure to umount the drive cleanly
[09:29] <iceroot> tarelerulz: also be sure to use ntfs-3g and not ntfs because ntfs cant write on ntfs
[09:30] <metaspike> tarelerulz, no... you might want to chkdisk /f - in windows then - ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/win/ - from ubuntu, for example.
[09:31] <metaspike> r0b-, here's a thread for that card in 10.04 using ndiswrapper, for what it's worth.
[09:32] <VectorX> hi, while installing ubuntu, it seems like it starts to donwload software, im on a slow connection so this takes a very long time, where are these files saved so i can copy them to the iso ?
[09:32] <erfolg> is there any way to change the "Ubuntu Desktop" that shows in the panel with no windows open to something different?
[09:33] <metaspike> VectorX, not sure? /var/cache/apt/archives or somewhere under /tmp?
[09:33] <Stereocaulon> VectorX, after the install, you can use one of the ISO LiveCD builder programs to burn your own LiveCD.
[09:34] <VectorX> Stereocaulon any you recomend with oneiric
[09:34] <VectorX> its an alternate cd builder for ltsp
[09:35] <Stereocaulon> VectorX, you can try the "Ubuntu Customization Kit"
[09:35] <VectorX> you mean the UCK ?
[09:35] <elementz> hi all.
[09:35] <r0b-> how do i remove gnome?
[09:35] <r0b-> or what ever the desktop stuff is
[09:35] <Stereocaulon> VectorX, Yes, that's the one.
[09:35] <VectorX> r0b- install kubuntu
[09:36] <VectorX> you wont have gnome
[09:36] <r0b-> i mean no GUI whatsoever
[09:36] <metaspike> :) best question anyone has asked here today. sudo apt-get purge gnome
[09:36] <elementz> i have a problem with curl and ssl (in this case ebay). something seems to be off with my ssl certificates: Cannot connect to URL �q: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
[09:36] <elementz> error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
[09:36] <Stereocaulon> r0b-, VectorX, there are actually many alternatives to Gnome, r0b- if you don't want any GUI, try the server version instead
[09:37] <metaspike> sudo apt-get purge gnome && sudo apt-get install xdm openbox - so you arent left with out a gui.
[09:37] <kephu> hi
[09:38] <metaspike> but yeah as Stereocaulon it's better to start with a clean install, i recommend the ubuntu desktop "alternative" installer for simplicities sake.
[09:38] <elementz> i have all the libcurl*dev* packages installed. and i tried to install the ca-certs.pem as provided on the curl website. but i still can't use ssl with curl
[09:38] <metaspike> elementz, is your clock right?
[09:38] <elementz> does anybody have an idea what could be done to resolve this issue?
[09:38] <metaspike> time and date.
[09:38] <j2t> #qt
[09:38] <kephu> can anyone here help me with a (probably pretty stupid) problem with X forwarding with putty and xming: I'm getting a "Midori - Cannot open display:" error
[09:38] <kephu> what is this related to?
[09:39] <elementz> metaspike: it should be. how can i check?
[09:39] <AVela> Flash i install flash aid but same error i got in facebook when i play video heres the error "Player upgrade required
[09:39] <AVela> You must download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this content.
[09:39] <AVela> "
[09:40] <elementz> metaspike: ok i synced the time via ntpdate. problem still exists though
[09:40] <Stereocaulon> kephu, with the forwarding of X you have created another X-display. In order to run Midori on the remote X-display, you need to specifiy it on calling the program. Just issue export DISPLAY=<the remote X display number> before calling midori.
[09:41] <kephu> Stereocaulon, how do I tell which number it should be?
[09:42] <Stereocaulon> kephu, first of all start an X-term on the remote X-server, from there type echo $DISPLAY
[09:42] <kephu> Stereocaulon, it's xming though
[09:43] <kephu> says "Xming Server:0.0" on hover, is any of that it?
[09:43] <Stereocaulon> kephu, that does not really matter here, xming, i merely the X-Client.
[09:43] <Stereocaulon> kephu, yes, that's it, your remote DISPLAY should be 0.0
[09:44] <kephu> okay, that might be the clue here, upon logging in on the machine I'm getting "localhost:10.0"
[09:44] <kephu> when echoing $DISPLAY
[09:44] <Stereocaulon> kephu, aha!, well try that one then!
[09:46] <kephu> Stereocaulon, I... think it didn't work. Shouldn't the midori error give me some port or display number?
[09:47] <rawplayer> hi, is there any manual about adding new driver to install cd?
[09:47] <AndroUser> haloo
[09:48] <winchester> Ciao a tutti
[09:48] <Stereocaulon> kephu, no, not really, midori doesn't know what Display it's supposed to run on. it assumes that your localhost will be the Display, but your Windows box is not running an X-server, hence the error.
[09:49] <lana> yoo all need help
[09:49] <buhman> what linux-console font does ubuntu use?
[09:49] <giuliano> \server irc.darksin.net
[09:49] <hasan_tr_15778> hello everyone!
[09:49] <lana> yuo alo
[09:49] <winchester> Ragazzi ho un problema ho dimenticato la password di root, tra le varie cose viste su internet c'è quella di entrare in single mode ma non riesco perchè non entro nel grub in fase di avvio pur premendo esc conoscete un modo alternativo?
[09:49] <kephu> Stereocaulon, the windows box is running the server though. X forwarding is set via putty, too
[09:49] <Stereocaulon> !it | winchester
[09:50] <Stereocaulon> kephu, but you are connecting to a remote X-server, or the other way around?
[09:51] <kephu> Stereocaulon, okay let me double-check if I got my terminology straight, because I remember X was twisted like that. X-server is the one that DISPLAYS things, right?
[09:51] <kephu> Stereocaulon, if so, I'm connecting FROM a win32 machine running putty and xming, to a ubuntu box
[09:51] <hasan_tr_15778> ı need to share files on my Ubuntu 11.10 - Windows 7 local network. When a machine use Windows and it has share files on network, ı can see these files from other machines Ubuntu properly. But when i share files from Ubuntu i can even see them from other Windows machines. Can somebody help? Thank you!
[09:52] <jigs> how can i join hacking channell....
[09:52] <kephu> Stereocaulon, (xming being the server)
[09:52] <DarsVaeda> hi, how can I find an app in that freaky unity menu -> I know I have it installed but I forgot the name
[09:53] <Stereocaulon> kephu, in that case your DISPLAY variable should also include the remote IP/ universally resolvable hostname.
[09:53] <giuliano> ciao
[09:53] <metaspike> winchester, Did you mean: To activate the root account use
[09:53] <metaspike> Per utilizzare attivo l'account di root "sudo passwd" o "sudo su"
[09:53] <kephu> Stereocaulon, any way I could parametrize that? Wouldn't want to have to set it up every time I connect from another machine or my IP changes
[09:53] <Stereocaulon> kephu, here, it's rather old, but it might provide some pointers: http://nixcraft.com/getting-started-tutorials/170-run-remote-x-applications-over-network-using-ssh.html
[09:54] <winchester> Hi guys, i have a problem, i had lost my root's password, and i can't enter grub mode. It's possible to change password in another mode or it's possibile enter in grub?
[09:54] <metaspike> hasan_tr_15778, it has everything to do with samba
[09:54] <metaspike> or just use something else, like ftp
[09:56] <hasan_tr_15778> metaspike: ubuntu 11.10 already ask to install samba and i ave installed it.
[09:56] <kephu> Stereocaulon, okay, how can I find what is my IP from the point of view of the target machine?
[09:57] <metaspike> hasan_tr_15778, well, if the standard configuration stuff isnt working, you can edit it manually. gedit /etc/samba.conf
[09:58] <Stereocaulon> kephu, just ping your remote Ubuntu box from your Windows box, that should give you the correct remote IP
[09:58] <Alasia> hello, i have a problem with samba shares. i have mounted a share with 'mount -t smbfs //server/share /destdir/ -o username=user' as root i have full r/w acces to that directory, as user just read-access
[09:58] <Stereocaulon> kephu, you can put it all on one line, by putting && between it. That way you can easily copy-paste the right line, for instance, if the remote IP of your Ubuntu box would be <IP_ADDRESS>, the command would be as follows: export DISPLAY=<IP_ADDRESS>:0 && midori&
[09:59] <sherif> hey, how can i decompress a tarball
[09:59] <buhman> sherif: tar xf foo.tar
[09:59] <Stereocaulon> kephu, The last "&" is to prevent midori from hogging your terminal session.
[10:00] <r0b-> how do i know where Ubuntu attaches a usb device?
[10:00] <kephu> Stereocaulon, waitwaitwait, so shoud I put the IP of the REMOTE BOX, or the win machine?
[10:00] <Stereocaulon> r0b-, use lsusb
[10:01] <sherif> buhman it says tar xfz tibia944.tg
[10:01] <Stereocaulon> kephu, the *remote* IP, after all, you are trying to run midori via the remote X-server, are you not?
[10:01] <sherif> buhman n when i do that nothing happens
[10:01] <buhman> sherif: what says tar xfz?
[10:01] <N1ghtCrawler> Hello, I'm having some problems with a live cd based on ubuntu. I want to remove the feauture that it opens the cd tray on shutdown. I have "extracted" the filesystem.squashfs removed the /etc/init.d/casper and "packed" it to a new filesystem.squashfs. And changed the original file on my usb stick. It still ejects the cd rom :(
[10:01] <sherif> buhman cannot open no such file or directory
[10:02] <buhman> sherif: I thought you said it was a tar archive
[10:02] <kephu> Stereocaulon, okay just to make sure we're on the same page here: I want midori to run on the remote ubuntu box, and display the gui to local win box, right?
[10:02] <buhman> sherif: what is "tibia944.tg"
[10:02] <sherif> buhman its a game
[10:02] <buhman> sherif: I don't care
[10:02] <sherif> buhman its tgz
[10:02] <buhman> sherif: what kind of file is it
[10:02] <sherif> buhman not tg
[10:03] <buhman> sherif: that's a gzip-compressed tarball, and obviously "tar xzf" is what you want
[10:03] <llutz> sherif: cd into the dir holding the tgc, "tar xzf tibia944.tgz"
[10:03] <vladimir> hi, i want to unsistall gwiber but it tells me "if you remove thisd package, you will not be able to update "ubuntu-desktop" " or something like that, whats up with that?
[10:03] <llutz> tgz*
[10:03] <r0b-> this is lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/818640/
[10:03] <sherif> buhman so how can i open this file
[10:03] <buhman> sherif: I have no idea
[10:04] <mraxilus> Hey guys, does anyone here use gwibber?
[10:04] <prashant_123456> is vim editor and vi editor different ??
[10:04] <sherif> llutz wut did u say
[10:04] <norbert79> sherif: You might want to check what the tg fie is. Use "file <name.tg>"
[10:04] <buhman> prashant_123456: yes
[10:04] <overclucker> prashant_123456: vim is an improved vi
[10:04] <sherif> norbert79 ok
[10:04] <mraxilus> prashant_123456: yes what he said
[10:04] <metaspike> Alasia, i suppose this might work - sudo mount -t smbfs -o umask=000
[10:04] <llutz> sherif: cd into the dir holding the tgz, "tar xzf tibia944.tgz"
[10:05] <norbert79> sherif: If it replies data, then you need to do a manual check/lookup on the file. It also depends on what kind of application is using such a file, because it might be depending on the application
[10:05] <mraxilus> VIiMproved
[10:05] <buhman> prashant_123456: some distributions actually symlink vi to vim by the way; which makes things confusing
[10:05] <overclucker> VI iMproved
[10:05] <subb1> guys can you please help me sort out the installation options for radoen driver as mentioned in this page. The wiki page seems really messed up for me. really confused
[10:05] <subb1> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide#The_Options
[10:05] <vladimir> i dont use gwibber i want to remove it but im afraid...
[10:05] <prashant_123456> ok so vi is improved or vim ??
[10:05] <mooorad> vim is improved
[10:05] <buhman> prashant_123456: your question is ambiguous
[10:05] <norbert79> prashant_123456: vim IS vi imporved :)
[10:05] <mooorad> the m is for improved
[10:06] <prashant_123456> norbert79,  ok than ks
[10:06] <Alasia> metaspike: chmod u+s /sbin/mount.cifs also solved the problem
[10:06] <prashant_123456> norbert79, so i need to install vim while i am having vi installed ?
[10:06] <norbert79> prashant_123456: I think vim does not depend on vi, so you could also just remove vi
[10:07] <winnie666>  hey guys, i have this media center installed on usb stick, but i am not 100% happy with the overall speed of things running, i were to use UCK and made a custumized LIVE usb stick with all the packages i want preinstalled, would that help things or is it not worth the trouble?
[10:07] <sherif> norbert79 now im lost sorry im just new to ubuntu
[10:07] <prashant_123456> norbert79, ok thaks
[10:07] <ikonia> winnie666: I wouldn't run that sort of thing from usb
[10:07] <norbert79> sherif: Do the following : Go into the directory where you have that TG file there, and execute the following "file something.tg"
[10:08] <sherif> norbert it's tgz not tg
[10:08] <r0b-> im lost here :(
[10:08] <ikonia> winnie666: also look at the ram/ram requirements for the device you are running a media center on
[10:08] <norbert79> sherif: Good, but you might want to still do a 'file something.tgz' to see if it's indeed a gzipped TAR file
[10:09] <winnie666> ikonia, it's got 2GB of RAM, well i did, and it's too late to change since i've butchered that laptop and can't get to the BIOS any more :)
[10:09] <sherif> norbert79 its a folder
[10:09] <ikonia> winnie666: 2GB of ram should be ample for running a standard ubuntu install to act as a media server
[10:09] <winnie666> so to go back to my question, running off a USB stick, which is faster, native install or a live usb?
[10:09] <mraxilus> I would like to map gwibber's 'update post' menu item to a shortcut key-combination (something like Ctrl+Alt+G).
[10:09] <mraxilus> Does anyone know how?
[10:10] <ikonia> winnie666: running off a persistant device rather than a ram device that swaps in/out when required will be faster
[10:10] <or4n9e> hi community. where would be a good place on IRC to ask a question about ubuntu's bluez implementation?
[10:10] <or4n9e> may you point me to the right IRC channel
[10:10] <or4n9e> ?
[10:11] <popey> or4n9e: what's the question?
[10:11] <winnie666> ikonia,  thnx for the tip
[10:11] <mraxilus> or4n9e: is that for bluetooth?
[10:12] <or4n9e> popey: I'm looking for an opportunity to provide a default PIN for every outgoing connection attempt (e.g. obexftp, dun, whatever) without getting prompted for the PIN while pairing with the handset
[10:12] <or4n9e> mraxilus: it is
[10:12] <mraxilus> If I were to guess, the right place for it is here. Otherwise you might want to try askubuntu
[10:12] <jeus> i have a small horizontal shake in second monitor
[10:13] <popey> or4n9e: interesting, i think you can set a default pin can't you?
[10:13] <or4n9e> popey: I read about /etc/bluetooth/pin with /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf but none of these exist in ubuntu 11.10
[10:13] <or4n9e> also creating them doesn't help
[10:13] <or4n9e> I always get prompted with a GUI interface pin_helper
[10:13] <popey> or4n9e: i wonder if they moved or you need some other bluetooth app like blueman?
[10:14] <popey> or4n9e: sorry, I don't know any more without looking at the source
[10:14] <or4n9e> popey: blueman ceratinly would do but I need a non-interactive way of doing it (no user interaction) as I need to script something
[10:14] <aLearner> Hi I'm installing Dropbox - could someone please help me understand what this command exactly means? ---> cd ~ && wget -O - http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 | tar xzf -
[10:14] <or4n9e> i.e. I've done but the PIN requests drive me nuts
[10:14] <ikonia> aLearner: ok - don't do that
[10:14] <ikonia> aLearner: are you using ubuntu yes/no ?
[10:14] <aLearner> I'm on Ubunti 11.10
[10:15] <aLearner> ikonia: Oops! Sorry.
[10:15] <llutz> aLearner: it will get and untar the file provided by that link
[10:15] <metaspike> winnie666, whatever the scenario, it's always faster if you can add 'toram' to the grub linux line, and use a device with lots of ram, then it will be fast even from usb, once loaded.
[10:15] <ikonia> aLearner: great, you can get the "deb" file, rather than the tar file
[10:15] <ikonia> aLearner: if you look at the website, there is a "deb" file for ubuntu, rather than a generic tar file
[10:15] <ikonia> aLearner: get the deb file, which will install it for you clean, and simple
[10:15] <aLearner> ikonia: Yep. What's the difference?
[10:15] <or4n9e> popey: I see. maybe someone else experience with that particular problem?
[10:15] <overclucker> aLearner: it changes your directory to home, and pipes the file downloaded with wget to tar for decompression
[10:15] <ikonia> aLearner: one is packages/built/designed to be used with ubuntu (menu system, libraries etc) the other is generic
[10:16] <aLearner> llutz: Thank you.
[10:16] <aLearner> overclucker:  Wow! Thanks -- what's the '&&' -- is it like an AND in programming languages?
[10:16] <winnie666> matespike, if you were to guess, aproximately how much ram whould i need for a 1GB iso?
[10:16] <aLearner> ikonia:  I'm doing it via command-line -- is that bad?
[10:17] <llutz>  && means: only run the following command, if the previous was successful
[10:17] <aLearner> llutz:  Cool. Thank you. What's the '~' for?
[10:17] <ikonia> aLearner: is there a reason you just don't use the gui ?
[10:17] <llutz> aLearner:  ~ ==$HOME
[10:17] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, it stands for your homedir
[10:17] <aLearner> ikonia:  No, nothing like. Just trying to learn. :-)
[10:18] <metaspike> winnie666, it depends on so much, maybe 1024, maybe more- best way to find out is just to test it.
[10:18] <ikonia> aLearner: just download the deb, install the deb, job done
[10:18] <overclucker> aLearner: it makes the following command conditionally reliant on the first command exiting succsessfully
[10:18] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, look up the Bash tutorials on tldp.org, they are quite good and I think you will enjoy them
[10:18] <aLearner> llutz and Stereocaulon: Thank you for the explanation.
[10:18] <aLearner> Stereocaulon:  Got it.
[10:19] <aLearner> ikonia:  Just trying to learn. Have never combined commands like that before.
[10:19] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, np, http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/
[10:19] <aLearner> Stereocaulon: Thank you
[10:19] <aLearner> overclucker:  Thank you.
[10:19] <or4n9e> popey: as it seems bluez people really screwed up (especially without any documentation) ... hcid.conf isn't even existent in ubuntu
[10:19] <metaspike> aLearner, everybody is telling in what to do so im joining in, go to www.commandlinefu.com and also have a look a the previous link, definately
[10:20] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, np :-) Enjoy bash, but be mindful of spaces and quotation marks. They will soon let you tear your hairs out ;-)
[10:20] <aLearner> metaspike:  Thanks!
[10:20] <aLearner> Stereocaulon:  Have used it before. But only to get around. Have never done anything fancy.
[10:20] <aLearner> Stereocaulon: Have bookmarked that page, though.
[10:20] <overclucker> aLearner: I second commandlinefu, you will learn  a lot of neat trick on that site
[10:21] <Stereocaulon> metaspike, Ah commandlinfu.com, I didn't know one yet. Bookmarked.
[10:21] <aLearner> OK now that I have it downloaded. Where did it go? :-)
[10:22] <metaspike> ~/Downloads??
[10:23] <aLearner> metaspike:  Nah. Looked there.
[10:23] <llutz> aLearner: check the links provided, get some basic knowledge before you proceed
[10:23] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, if you have downloaded something through wget it will be in the same directory as you issued the command from, unless you specifically told it to save it in another place.
[10:24] <aLearner> Stereocaulon:  Cool. Thank you for the information. When I do an 'ls -l' I don't see it, though. That's why I asked.
[10:24] <aLearner> llutz:  I'm just trying to understand how to install using the command-line in detail. That's all.
[10:24] <overclucker> aLearner: did you run that command you posted?
[10:25] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, tap the [up] key a few times, it should show you what you have typed previously, thus you will know where you downloaded something, [up arrow]  browses back in the bash history
[10:25] <llutz> aLearner: better to understand why that isn't a good idea in most cases :)
[10:25] <aLearner> Stereocaulon:  Yes, familiar with tapping the 'up' key.
[10:26] <aLearner> llutz:  I beg your pardon? :-)
[10:26] <metaspike> aLearner, install packages?
[10:26] <metaspike> install--------------------- bah forget it
[10:28] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, that last reaction from metaspike was a rtfm, without the "f".
[10:28] <aLearner> metaspike: Got it.
[10:28] <aLearner> Stereocaulon: Got it ;-)
[10:28] <aLearner> Thanks for all your help. I learned something -- and installed Dropbox via commandline! :-)
[10:29] <metaspike> yep. open a console and type 'man man'
[10:29] <justin______> hi guys. i hope u can help point me in the right direction. when i activate the nvidia proprietary driver, i go to load ubuntu 3D games, and it just doesn't load at all
[10:29] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, enjoy the power and richness of bash. Though sometimes, it will make you curse... ;-)
[10:29] <justin______> how can i overcome this.... i would even just be happy with a google search terms to work with
[10:29] <aLearner> Stereocaulon: It has many times...Time to get better at it.
[10:29] <aLearner> Stereocaulon:  Really appreciate your support!
[10:29] <lukasz_> echo
[10:30] <metaspike> justin______,  how did you install the drivers.
[10:30] <r0b-> anyone ever use zoneminder?
[10:30] <justin______> metaspike, i went to the gui 'additional drivers' program and activated the recommended driver
[10:31] <xcom169> Hello All!
[10:31] <metaspike> and reset?
[10:31] <Stereocaulon> aLearner, well, that's the spirit! Just browse the general tutorials and if you hit a snag with bash, remember there is also #bash, but only after you have searched thoroughly for the answer...
[10:31] <saganbyte> Can anybody please help me with setting up wireless on a ubuntu server 10.04 (when i ping the gateway at <IP_ADDRESS>, it gives me Destination Host UNreachable)
[10:32] <xcom169> Could anyone help me in install Java on ubuntu 11.10? I do not have /usr/bin/java
[10:32] <Stereocaulon> justin______, just log off and log on again, then the driver should be active.
[10:32] <aLearner> Stereocaulon: Right. Thanks again.
[10:33] <justin______> Stereocaulon, i've tried that countless times
[10:33] <justin______> even with my computer science degree i cant figure it out:(
[10:35] <Two__Dogs> justin______: share your xorg.0.log
[10:35] <justin______> sure
[10:35] <Stereocaulon> justin______, what graphics chipset do you have ?
[10:35] <justin______> Nvidia GT 525
[10:35] <Stereocaulon> justin______, please *pastebin* it.
[10:36] <xjyuicd> \list
[10:36] <Alasia> can i mount a truecrypt container on 2 PCs simultanly, via network share?
[10:36] <metaspike> xcom169, sun java has been removed from the repos tmk  but there is openfdk. in a console. sudo apt-get install default-jre
[10:36] <metaspike> there is openjdk*
[10:37] <metaspike> cat /var/log/xorg.0.log | pastebinit   - :)
[10:38] <metaspike> or ~/.xorg.0.log
[10:38] <saganbyte> how can i check if i have wireless-tools installed in my ubuntu server installation?
[10:38] <metaspike> dpkg-query -l | grep wireless-tools
[10:38] <xcom169> metaspike, thanks. I think i have a problem with a environment path because I do not have /usr/bin/java
[10:39] <xcom169> metaspike,  I tried reinstall but it did not help
[10:39] <metaspike> xcom169, do you have default-jre installed? it should handle that for you.
[10:39] <Two__Dogs> metaspike: how about adding the nick to your convo, thnks
[10:39] <metaspike> Two__Dogs, ok Two__Dogs
[10:39] <xcom169> metaspike, Yes I tried, how can I force apt-get to create this file again for me?
[10:40] <justin______> Stereocaulon, Two__Dogs, http://pastebin.com/7JQdnRsj
[10:40] <xcom169> metaspike,  Or should I restart my machine?
[10:40] <metaspike> xcom169, what about. sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre -or- sudo apt-get openjdk-6-jre.
[10:40] <zagibu> xcom169: haha, no, this is usually useless in linux
[10:40] <metaspike> yup
[10:41] <adcqc> Hello everybody, is there a french version of this IRC?
[10:41] <overclucker> !fr
[10:41] <adcqc> thx
[10:41] <metaspike> xcom169,  unless it deals with the kernel, a reboot is always superfluous
[10:42] <zagibu> xcom169: you could also add the link in /usr/bin/java by hand, or add the java directory to the path
[10:42]  * bz_ bonjour tout le monde
[10:42] <xcom169> metaspike, I have both of javas(6,7) in /usr/lib/jvm
[10:42] <xcom169> zagibu, how i can do that by hand?
[10:43] <Two__Dogs> justin______: [  4449.444] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[10:43] <zagibu> xcom169: try first to install the official packages
[10:43] <Two__Dogs> justin______: you have intel graphics also?
[10:44] <bullgard6> ~$ sudo ntop; ntop will be started as user nobody;  ntop v.4.0.3 (64 bit); CHKVER: This version of ntop is a minimally supported but OLDER version - please upgrade; **ERROR** RRD: Disabled - unable to create base directory (err 13, /var/lib/ntop/rrd)'. Why do I obtain: " **ERROR** RRD: Disabled - unable to create base directory (err 13, /var/lib/ntop/rrd)"?
[10:45] <justin______> Two__Dogs, technically yes, its the cpu 128mb of shared video card.     and then the 1GB nvidia card
[10:45] <justin______> a dedicated card and a shared card
[10:46] <Two__Dogs> justin______: does your bios allow you to chose the card/graphics to use?
[10:46] <justin______> macintosh is the same way to conserve power when necessary, i here
[10:46] <justin______> hear
[10:46] <justin______> i have looked on the bios but been unable to find
[10:50] <Two__Dogs> justin______: looks to me like your intel graphics is the default, did you install nvidia-current?
[10:50] <jmscomtech> does virtual box work in 64bit?
[10:50] <Two__Dogs> jmscomtech: yes
[10:51] <jmscomtech> good cause i need to use m$ office for tech
[10:51] <jmscomtech> so easiest way to do it is to install vbox
[10:52] <Two__Dogs> jmscomtech: yes
[10:52] <justin______> Two__Dogs, yeah its the newest version apparently. ill go looking around in bios some more, so cheers for ur time. ill let u know how it does!
[10:52] <justin______> cheers!
[10:52] <metaspike> jmscomtech, office 2007 runs well under wine, but if you really cant use libreoffice, eh.
[10:52] <overclucker> bullgard6: have you googled the error code?
[10:52] <openbees> my touchpad not working in 11.10
[10:55] <metaspike> openbees, tried. gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true  - from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad ?
[10:55] <or4n9e> popey: just in case you're interested. I just found /var/lib/bluetooth/<hci-id>/... and I hope that this is the place where the magic happens
[10:55] <Whisky> I cant stop GDM. It just says /etc/init.d/gdm command now found
[10:55] <overclucker> Whisky: maybe you are using lightdm?
[10:56] <Whisky> overclucker, I'm using GNome 2.3
[10:56] <Two__Dogs> !info googlizer
[10:57] <or4n9e> popey: haven't really checked HOW but I THINK this directory could be a good place to start testing. as it seems bluez 4.x got rid of plaintext PINs in conf-files and instead does anything through dbus-foo and stores encrypted keys
[10:57] <overclucker> Whisky: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[10:57] <metaspike> bullgard4, you shouldn't have to. i would actually suggest changing ntops configuration specifically (man ntop find the config, probably /etc/ntop.conf or such). http://krudas.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/ntop-on-ubuntu/
[10:57] <or4n9e> popey: I'm far from having the solution but I thought I provide this info as a follow-up
[10:57] <Whisky> overclucker, 11.04
[11:00] <metaspike> Whiskey, sudo service gdm stop
[11:00] <metaspike> Whisky, *
[11:02] <Whisky> metaspike, Tried that too. Unrecognised service.
[11:02] <overclucker> Whisky: what does cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager say?
[11:03] <Two__Dogs> metaspike: and this link has a different spin, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1220725.html <-- notice the ref to 'user nobody'
[11:04] <Whisky> metaspike, gdm3
[11:04] <allenyk_> keke
[11:04] <jmscomtech> metaspike: need it to be 2010 as its a ict support/networking course im doing
[11:04] <overclucker> sudo service gdm3 stop
[11:11] <dalek_> trying to install ubuntu 10.10 from CD on a toshiba laptop. It puts up the ubuntu logo and "5 dots" animation, then hangs. The same CD will boot properly on another laptop. How do I make it boot on the Toshiba?
[11:15] <metaspike> dalek_, you might have more luck with safe graphics mode boot options, maybe use 10.04 instead... hard to say, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[11:15] <daschel> Can anyone help me disable alt+click from moving windows?  I've tried CCSM and it looks like it disabled the binding, but no effects take place.  When CCSM is restarted the old settings are back.  I also tried gconftool(i may have been using gconf incorrectly though) with results similar to CCSM.  I'm running gnome3 on 11.10

[11:19] <Kartagis> is it possible to get gnome-screenshot alone from git? a bug was fixed
[11:20] <daschel> Can anyone help me disable alt+click from moving windows?  I've tried CCSM and it looks like it disabled the binding, but no effects take place.  When CCSM is restarted the old settings are back.  I also tried gconftool(i may have been using gconf incorrectly though) with results similar to CCSM.  I'm running gnome3 on 11.10
[11:20] <Kartagis> I don't want to go over the edge
[11:21] <metaspike> daschel, tried google yet? http://askubuntu.com/questions/80623/how-to-disable-altclick-from-moving-windows - or using gconf-editor directly. hmm
[11:21] <daschel> yes
[11:21] <aLearner> I get the following error after I installed the latest version of Google Chrome --> no plug-in available to display this content. I've been looking on the web for a solution, I'm on Oneiric. :-/
[11:22] <aLearner> Could anyone help me out, please?
[11:22] <bullgard6> daschel: What is your aim? "disable alt+click from moving windows"? What is that? Say it in other words, please.
[11:22] <al-tabq> can someone help me quickly with sed? i want to remove 15 folders in the same directory from foo_xyz to xyz (i.e. remove the constant string foo_) ...
[11:23] <daschel> metaspike, yes.  I tried that already with no results.
[11:23] <Myrtti> al-tabq: try rename?
[11:23] <al-tabq>  *remove = rename
[11:23] <metaspike> Kartagis, git checkout <url> <path>  or such. or use gpe-screenshot :)
[11:23] <daschel> bullgard, I want to remove the alt+[mouse left click] binding
[11:23] <al-tabq> Myrtti yes^^
[11:25] <jrib> al-tabq: "rename" is a command that you can use
[11:25] <Kartagis> metaspike: I know I can do that, but can it be integrated into ubuntu later?
[11:25] <aLearner> Has anyone on here installed Google Chrome successfully so that the 'no plugin available to display this content' error is no longer there?
[11:26] <jrib> aLearner: please just ask your actual question instead of polling
[11:26] <aLearner> jrib:  I did ^^
[11:26] <al-tabq> jrib do you know
[11:26] <al-tabq> jrib i'l have a look at that thx
[11:26] <jrib> al-tabq: yes you did earlier, and now you didn't
[11:26] <metaspike> Kartagis, not a clue? that would depend on whether it's implementation has changed with the rest of the project
[11:26] <jrib> al-tabq: you can type "man rename" for the man page.  It has some examples.  If you're not sure what to do after reading it, just ask me for more details
[11:27] <al-tabq> jrib will do, thx
[11:27] <aLearner> jrib:  I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the 'no plugin available to display this content' on Google Chrome.
[11:27] <jrib> aLearner: you should say what content it is that you are trying to display
[11:28] <aLearner> jrib:  I'm not sure, actually. I'm on Google Analytics and the dashboard doesn't show up. Could it be flash? I'm on 11.10 on a 64-bit machine.
[11:28] <overclucker> Kartagis: git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-screenshot
[11:28] <jrib> aLearner: see if http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ works
[11:29] <aLearner> jrib: Looking. Thank you!
[11:29] <bullgard6> daschel: I do not know any solution, sorry.

[11:31] <mo_bledhoz> heello im need cloak @ubuntu member?
[11:31] <or4n9e> popey: problem solved. thanks for your help
[11:32] <bullgard6> mo_bledhoz: Please visit #freenode for help

[11:34] <aLearner> jrib: I went here --> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and selected 'APT for Ubuntu 10.04+' but it doesn't seem to do anything once the 'Software Center' loads...
[11:34] <jrib> !flash | aLearner
[11:34] <aLearner> jrib: Thank you. Looking...
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> !ask| vip_
[11:37] <daschel> I'm getting fed up with ubuntu support.  I've only had 5 problems/questions over the last two years that I've had to post to support forums or irc channels.  It seems that anything not quickly solvable by searching google gets ignored.  A simple, "I'm stumped" would suffice, but when I say I've tried their solution already or that it didn't work, I'm met by silence.   :-/ Could a reboot help?
[11:38] <norbert79> _skpl: That's also very unprofessional too, and offending. Enjoy your ban soon :)
[11:38] <jrib> aLearner: I don't know about software center
[11:39] <aLearner> jrib: but then how do I install flash without the software center? :-?
[11:39] <aLearner> jrib:  From the link you gave  me ---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[11:39] <jrib> daschel: well keep in mind the support here and in the forums is just users like trying to help one another.  And on irc, if you don't get an answer, that means no one knows
[11:39] <jrib> daschel: like you*
[11:39] <jrib> aLearner: you can use apt-get
[11:40] <knightsamar> does anyone know where are the network interfaces defined in ubuntu 12.04 ? it's not in /etc/network/interfaces
[11:40] <daschel> MonkeyDust, I wasn't saying that the solution should be simple.  I was saying a simple response of "I don't know.  I'm working on it." or "I'm stumped" would be appreciated
[11:40] <aLearner> jrib: How do I do that? Am not sure of the command. sudo apt-get ???
[11:40] <daschel> jrib, fair enough.  Just needed to vent some frustrations.
[11:40] <metaspike> aw al-tabq has left :(
[11:41] <jrib> daschel: yeah, I understand sometimes it is frustrating to not get feedback on irc with so many users, but it's really not feasible to have everyone answer "I don't know" to a question if they don't know.  In any case, what's your question/issue? :)
[11:41] <jrib> aLearner: what ubuntu version are you on?
[11:42] <aLearner> jrib:  I'm on 11.10 and on a 64-bit machine.
[11:42] <jrib> aLearner: install the "flashplugin-installer" package
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> daschel: there's 1000+ users here, should we all say 'i dont know'?
[11:42] <daschel> I guess this means I should start contributing to development.
[11:42] <aLearner> jrib: So the commad would be: sudo apt-get flashplugin-installer
[11:43] <jrib> aLearner: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-install
[11:43] <jrib> aLearner: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[11:43] <metaspike> daschel, what was the question again? :p
[11:43] <aLearner> jrib: Oh cool. Thank you so much for your help. Let me try that.
[11:43] <daschel> Monkeydust, no, but when someone has engaged me with trying to find a solution and I say it didn't work, then stops responding, an "i don't know" is expected
[11:44] <daschel> jrib, I'm trying to remove the key bindings from alt+[left click].  I've tried CCSM and gconftool, but neither have worked.
[11:44] <jrib> daschel: what does it currently do?
[11:44] <daschel> moves the current window.  I'm running gnome 3 on 11.10
[11:45] <aLearner> jrib: How did you figure out the file name? :-)
[11:45] <jrib> aLearner: the package name was in the wiki paged about flash that ubottu mentioned
[11:45] <Ronis_BR> hi all, is anyone using a core i5-2450M?
[11:46] <jrib> daschel: you're using unity?
[11:46] <aLearner> jrib: Oh I see - I must've missed that. Let me scroll back up.
[11:46] <aLearner> jrib: Thank you.
[11:46] <jrib> aLearner: no problem
[11:46] <daschel> jrib, gnome3
[11:47] <jrib> daschel: gnome-shell?
[11:47] <jrib> daschel: with mutter as window manager?
[11:48] <daschel> yes, gnome-shell. not sure about mutter.  let me check
[11:49] <aLearner> This is a volunteer-supported channel - right?
[11:49] <jrib> aLearner: yes
[11:49] <daschel> no mutter
[11:49] <aLearner> jrib: That is wonderful.
[11:49] <kaddi> hi, anybody know how to install amazon mp3 downloader on a current ubuntu install? They only have a version for 8.10, which obviously breaks when you try to install it on 11.10
[11:49] <metaspike> daschel, assuming you've restarted gnome after using gconf as perscripted. im beginning to think it may be xorg centric. i mean, left+alt click effects every single window manager that has windows.
[11:50] <jrib> daschel: hmm, so what window manager?
[11:50] <jrib> daschel: according to wikipedia gnome-shell uses mutter as the window manager but I've never used gnome-shell
[11:50] <aLearner> kick bot
[11:51] <aLearner> jrib: ubottu is the bot - right?
[11:51] <jrib> aLearner: yes
[11:51] <aLearner> jrib: Cool. How do you make it wake up?
[11:51] <jrib> ubottu: tell aLearner about yourself
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> yes, ubottu is a (ro)bot
[11:51] <aLearner> jrib: Haha! :-)
[11:51] <daschel> metaspike, that would make sense.  I've recently tampered with some xorg stuff.  I've rebooted since I did the gconf but there are some xorg related updates in the update manager that I haven't installed.  I'm going to install them and reboot.
[11:52] <aLearner> jrib:  That's awesome!
[11:52] <metaspike> back in my day if we had a problem with a key we would just jam a knife under it pop the sucka out
[11:52] <jrib> daschel: alt-left-click doesn't affect windows for me; I do think it's a window manager feature
[11:52] <aLearner> MonkeyDust: Cool. Thanks for telling me.
[11:53] <aLearner> jrib: Once the download of flash stops will it do the installing by itself?
[11:53] <jrib> aLearner: it should, yes
[11:53] <aLearner> jrib: Interesting - can any app be installed this way?
[11:53] <metaspike> caps-lock not working? jam a fork between shift and-enter
[11:53] <jrib> !software | aLearner
[11:54] <daschel> jrib, I misunderstood you.  I was thinking 'file manager' instead of windows manager.  if mutter is the default windows manager, then that's what I'm using.  I know I haven't changed anything in that regard
[11:54] <aLearner> jrib: Wow! Thank you. REading
[11:54] <jrib> aLearner: yes, you should install all (ok, most) of your applications using the repositories, either through apt-get or software center
[11:54] <jrib> daschel: ok, well in that case we need to figure out how to configure mutter :P
[11:54] <ntat> dzięki...
[11:54] <MonkeyDust> !info mutter
[11:54] <aLearner> jrib: I've used Software Center before. But it was not responsive today. It just gave me a white screen and nothing happened. Strange.
[11:55] <aLearner> !info
[11:55] <aLearner> !info mutter
[11:55] <aLearner> :-?
[11:55] <LjL> aLearner: the bot doesn't respond if the same ! command has just been called. anyway, please /msg it in private
[11:55] <aLearner> LjL: OK. Cool. Sorry!
[11:56] <bullgard6> '~$ sudo ntop &; [1] 4418'. How to terminate this program? '~$ sudo kill 4418' did not work.
[11:57] <daschel> jrib, thanks.  I'm going to install the Xorg software updates and restart in case metaspike is right.   If not I'll do some digging around on mutter, and let you help others. I should be able to take it from here.  I just needed a starting point.  Thanks for your help
[11:57] <niko> 2/5
[11:57] <margos> hi
[11:58] <aLearner> margos: Hello to you.
[11:59] <margos> There is this application , mobile browser, which won't start, I want to know how to get it working or at the least uninstall it and make room for other applications
[12:00] <vip_> can someone help me please with sun java?
[12:00] <aLearner> vip_: What's your question?
[12:00] <margos> It's Web browser*
[12:00] <aLearner> margos: What's the name of the browser?
[12:00] <margos> Web browser
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> vip_  you may need open-jdk, not sun-jdk
[12:01] <vip_> how to completly uninstall java sun as my not working
[12:01] <vip_> open java not work for me at all
[12:01] <metaspike> vip_,  depends how you installed it. if it was from a .bin . ./sun-javainstaller.bin --help might yeld some results
[12:02] <aLearner> Big thank you to the entire room. Thanks to you, I was able to install flash. :-)
[12:02] <LjL> margos: err, the name of your browser can't be "Web browser". you need to find out the actual name.
[12:02] <daschel> jrib, good news and badnews.  alt-left no longer moves windows but now my wacom tablet isn't recognized :)
[12:02] <aLearner> margos:  Could it be Chrome? Or Firefox perhaps?
[12:02] <vip_> why when I install java never see screen with licence???
[12:03] <metaspike> vip_, bottom line is sun is not supported presently officially, and you will need to do some links to get it to work or see if it has a working deb builder, i guess you could direct your questions to #java or ask Groogle
[12:04] <vip_> I just was on #java they say they cant help me
[12:04] <daschel> metaspike, you were right.  It must have been an xorg problem.  I installed the updates, rebooted, and it works now.   thanks
[12:04] <margos> LjL: Dont know , I had it installed couple of weeks back, but it never worked. Tell me if there's any way to find out its name.
[12:04] <bullgard6> '~$ sudo ntop &; [1] 4418'. How to terminate this program? '~$ sudo kill 4418' did not work.
[12:05] <hyppias> installing the latest ubuntu, it cannot find the mysql 5.1 package. How come?
[12:05] <damo22> anyone keen to help me test a small networking example i can provide the source code?
[12:05] <metaspike> vip_, this is what Groogle has to say: http://www.clickonf5.org/7777/how-install-sun-java-ubuntu-1004-lts/
[12:05] <hyppias> ubuntu server, that is
[12:06] <renato> hello!
[12:06] <LjL> margos: does it start at all? can you reach the Help / About menu?
[12:06] <bullgard6> !latest | hypsias
[12:06] <LjL> hyppias: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:06] <LjL> bullgard6: MySQL 5.1 is in Oneiric
[12:06] <metaspike> hyppias, apt-cache search mysql - for some options.
[12:07] <vip_> I install this sucessfully but java plugin is to old and is blocked
[12:07] <hyppias> can I change someting on the installation, so it will find the right one?
[12:07] <aLearner> So, downloaded the following tarball ---> http://www.workrave.org/download/ -- and then after reading the README I typed in -->  ./configure; make; make install
[12:07] <aLearner>  but I got this error ---> configure: error: X11 required on Unix platform -- What gives?
[12:08] <LjL> aLearner: why are you installing workrave from source?
[12:08] <metaspike> vip_, you can install it directly from the source, sun's website. but no guarantees it'll work
[12:08] <margos> LjL: no , all i see is a button on the taskbar, written "starting web browser", and then it disappears without any traces of warning.
[12:08] <aLearner> LjL: Not sure how to install it... :-/
[12:08] <LjL> hyppias: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please?
[12:08] <MonkeyDust> hyppias  start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what have you tried before you came here for advice?
[12:08] <LjL> aLearner: use Software Center, or type "sudo apt-get install workrave" in a terminal.
[12:08] <LjL> !software > aLearner
[12:08] <hyppias> LjL: i check
[12:09] <aLearner> LjL: Software Center has been freezing up on me today. :-/
[12:09] <aLearner> LjL: Thank you
[12:09] <LjL> aLearner: then use apt-get
[12:09] <metaspike> aLearner, it requires libx11-dev etc, etc. welcome to dependency hell
[12:09] <vip_> I did that but I never see licence screen
[12:09] <aLearner> metaspike: Dependency hell? :-?
[12:09] <LjL> aLearner: remember, Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available in its repositories, you rarely need to install stuff manually (and you should think twice before doing it)
[12:09] <metaspike> vip_, it doesn't concern #ubuntu anymore. in someways, im thankful.
[12:10] <LjL> margos: are you using Unity?
[12:10] <margos> LjL: its Hardy
[12:10] <Machtin> Hey there. I tried to encrypt /tmp with cryptsetup and luks.. after I reboot 'mount' says, that /dev/mapper/tmp is mountet on /tmp, but it is not (I can tell by the space left on the device of /tmp). I can mount it though via a manual mount-command. Which means after booting /dev/by-id/<temp-partition> is luksopened, I guess.
[12:11] <LjL> margos: oh, ugh, that's old. you should upgrade, as it's unsupported now. but at least, you should be able to check what program it is: right click on the "Web browser" menu entry, and you should be able to reach some properties that tell you what it is.
[12:11] <Machtin> so what might I have done wrong? the fstab entry is: /dev/mapper/tmp   /tmp  tmpfs   defaults  0  0
[12:11] <aLearner> LjL: I get the following error with sudo apt --> Package workrave is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
[12:11] <LjL> !info workrave
[12:12] <LjL> aLearner: oh, are you on Oneiric? apparently that specific package is not available in Oneiric, although it's available in other versions :\
[12:12] <aLearner> LjL: OK...So does that mean I can't get it? I'm on Oneiric, yes.
[12:12] <aLearner> LjL: Also, why is the Software Center screen white. Should I try to reboot? It's just not working.
[12:13] <LjL> aLearner: you can get it, it's in the backports, but you must enable the backports. no idea about Software Center, i never use it...
[12:13] <aLearner> LjL: I'll read up what backports are -- since I have no idea.
[12:14] <willis> !backports
[12:14] <Jordan_U> Machtin: What does /proc/mounts say?
[12:14] <LjL> aLearner: if you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list), you should see some lines mentioning "backports", but they will be commented out (they will have a # at the beginning). remove the #, and save the file.
[12:14] <LjL> aLearner: then do "sudo apt-get update", then try installing workrave again.
[12:14] <zul0> Anyone know any software to make anonimize my navigation?
[12:14] <aLearner> LjL: Cool beans. Backporting means some kind of test phase, I guess.
[12:14] <dr_willis> zul0:  tor, or various vpn/proxies
[12:14] <LjL> !tor | zul0
[12:15] <aLearner> LjL: Thanks for all your help.
[12:15] <aLearner> LjL: Really appreciate it.
[12:15] <Machtin> Jordan_U: /dev/mapper/tmp /tmp tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0
[12:15] <LjL> aLearner: no it's not a test. thing is, normally in a given version of Ubuntu you don't get updated packages (only for security bugs, and other serious bugs). so Backports are packages from the *next* version of Ubuntu, "backported" into the current version.
[12:15] <toonc> hello
[12:15] <zul0> thanks dr_willis, LjL nd ubottu ! ill read about that!
[12:15] <metaspike> Machtin, you will also need to add it to /etc/crypttab prehaps.
[12:16] <aLearner> LjL: Oh OK. But I thought Oneiric was the current version - right?
[12:16] <toonc> I hope somebody can help me with mx onboard sound card
[12:16] <aLearner> LjL:  Why would something be backported to it?
[12:16] <margos> LjL: its midbrowser, but still it wont start spits some error "Couldn't find compatible GRE between <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>"
[12:16] <Jordan_U> Machtin: Then that's what's mounted to /tmp/. Have you already mounted this manually?
[12:16] <Machtin> metaspike: it is in crypttab
[12:16] <toonc> maybe it is broken
[12:16] <toonc> but maybe not well configured
[12:16] <zul0> !tor-sasl
[12:16] <Machtin> Jordan_U: no.. and it is not.
[12:16] <LjL> aLearner: well, the next version (Precise) is already in the works
[12:17] <aLearner> LjL: I see...But it's not available in the current version - right?
[12:17] <LjL> aLearner: it's available in Precise, it's not available in Oneiric, so it has been "backported" to Oneiric, and you can have it in Oneiric if you enable Backports.
[12:17] <aLearner> LjL: OK. Thank you for your help.
[12:18] <LjL> margos: uhm, i think midbrowser was an aborted project, not too sure... you're probably best just removing it, "sudo apt-get remove midbrowser"
[12:18] <LjL> !info midbrowser
[12:18] <aLearner> LjL: I'm going to have to reboot.
[12:18] <aLearner> LjL: Thanks again.
[12:18] <mower> !info midbrowser
[12:18] <margos> thanks LjL
[12:18] <trapni> how do I add a secondary ipaddr/subnet to an interface in /etc/network/interfaces?
[12:18] <LjL> margos: actual package name might not be midbrowser actually, so try doing "dpkg -S midbrowser" to find out which package it is
[12:18] <toonc> with puvucontrol it seems it should work but no sound
[12:19] <toonc> pavucontrol
[12:19] <damo22> a secondary ipaddr to the same interface??
[12:19] <woozly> guys! hello! How to login into Ubuntu Classic? (not Unity)
[12:19] <Jordan_U> Machtin: Can you pastebin the commands and output that make you believe that /proc/mounts is wrong?
[12:19] <woozly> sudo apt-get install <gnome??>
[12:20] <iceroot> !nounity | woozly
[12:20] <Machtin> Jordan_U: after I mount it manually (mount /dev/mapper/tmp /tmp) the directory listing changes.. and the size of the partition changes
[12:20] <margos> tonnes of output LjL , what   to do next? or should I remove it as you suggested earlier?
[12:21] <LjL> margos: wait, let me see.
[12:21] <LjL> margos: yes, "sudo apt-get remove midbrowser"
[12:21] <bullgard4> iceroot: What is a »Sessions dropdown«, please?
[12:21] <margos> alright LjL  thanks
[12:22] <toonc> I will try the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide
[12:22] <VectorX> so i got a windows and ubuntu machine next to each other, i want to control the ubuntu via the windows machine, its on the gig lan and vnc is just sad, is there something faster to handle to gui, if i use rdektop the otherway around its almost like the windows machine is on the same comp as ubuntu(really fast) ?
[12:22] <Machtin> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/fSyXzq1K
[12:23] <dr_willis> VectorX:  if you can see both monitors you can use synergy touse one kebord/mouse for both pc
[12:23] <iceroot> bullgard4: in your login-screen there is a dropdown menu about the session
[12:23] <iceroot> bullgard4: also about the keyboard-layout and so on
[12:23] <myndzi> where can i get a copy of the theme icons for lucid's version of ambiance?
[12:23] <damo22> metaspike: i tried compiling the example on its own and got someone else to test it,, it doesnt work
[12:23] <myndzi> i accidentally mangled the transparency and need to fix :(
[12:23] <Jordan_U> Machtin: May I see the full contents of /proc/mounts before the manual mount?
[12:24] <bullgard4> iceroot: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining.
[12:24] <margos> thanks
[12:24] <Machtin> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/1t1BaqBn
[12:24] <VectorX> dr_willis well its next to each other coz im trying to configure them atm, then they will be in seperate rooms on the same lan, so trying to figure out the best solution for this
[12:25] <red> User foo is in the group foo and bar, user bar is in the group bar and foo, folder is owned by foo, yet user bar cannot modify files in that folder
[12:25] <red> What am I missing?
[12:25] <red> (even tho he is a part of the group owning that folder)
[12:25] <dr_willis> VectorX:  i tend to use vnc. but i dont share the 'current visible' desktop. i use lighter desktops for vnc also.. but you COULD also use ssh/xming to forward x apps to the windows box.. it all depends on what you are doing.
[12:26] <dr_willis> VectorX:  freenx is a faster alterntive to vnc also.
[12:26] <VectorX> k ty, ill check those out
[12:26] <LjL> red: assume the group *has* write permissions to that folder? ls -l foldername to know
[12:27] <Jordan_U> Machtin: I see you're problem. You don't understand what "tmpfs" is. A tmpfs has no device associated with it, you could replace /dev/mapper/tmp with anything and it would not thange the mount. If you manually specified "-t tmpfs" in your mount command you'd get the same result.
[12:27] <red> LjL: http://pastie.org/private/rl0ecsjrmcbicmtunxhrea
[12:27] <red> there's the outputs
[12:28] <Machtin> Jordan_U: I don't get it.. sorry :(
[12:28] <red> the same setup did work under centos
[12:28] <red> but for ubuntu, no
[12:28] <Jordan_U> Machtin: Replace "tmpfs" with whatever the filesystem actually is for /dev/mapper/tmp. Probably "ext4".
[12:28] <LjL> red: "office" doesn't have write permission to the folder. "chmod g+w foldername" to add it.
[12:28] <Machtin> ah, fair enough.
[12:29] <Jordan_U> Machtin: While this is a gross oversimplification, think of tmpfs as being a RAM filesystem that just grabs a chunk of memory and uses it.
[12:29] <Machtin> Jordan_U: how could I check which fs /dev/mapper/tmp has?
[12:29] <meoo> www.orkut.com
[12:29] <Jordan_U> Machtin: sudo blkid
[12:30] <LjL> meoo: ?
[12:30] <Machtin> tmp2.. well, guess that's okay for /tmp
[12:30] <Machtin> err, ext2 of course.
[12:30] <Machtin> Jordan_U: thanks a lot! :)
[12:30] <Jordan_U> Machtin: You're welcome :)
[12:32] <red> LjL: http://pastie.org/private/rl0ecsjrmcbicmtunxhrea
[12:32] <red> updated
[12:33] <LjL> red: well the dir has write permissions now, but does the file in it? "chmod -R g+w magento" if you want to change all its files recursively
[12:34] <sh0ne> Hey, guys, is Ralink RT73 Enhanced Driver (http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2) compatible with Ubuntu 11.10 (kernel 3.0.x)? Did someone tried it? On the site it says that it is made for kernel 2.6.29. I use Ubuntu 11.10, 32bit. Thank you
[12:34] <Machtin> Jordan_U: and it worked! :)
[12:34] <dr3mro> dmesg gives me this error |   [   28.037217] init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (1305) terminated with status 1
[12:34] <red> LjL: well if the folder is +g+w it should work? I dont want recursive
[12:34] <red> theres stuff explicitly owned by other users there
[12:34] <red> also stuff that should not be able to be read
[12:35] <red> i mean creating empty file should work
[12:35] <red> if the folder permissions are right
[12:35] <LjL> red: oh, it's a file that doesn't yet exist, i see
[12:35] <red> ye
[12:35] <red> just a test
[12:35] <LjL> red: well in that case yes it should work, as far as i know.
[12:35] <red> indeed
[12:36] <red> we just rsynced the files from centos to ubuntu and did same user settings and tweaks as we earleir had
[12:36] <red> weird stuff
[12:36] <LjL> red: ah, you've rsynced files... are we sure "office" is actually the same numeric group as the "office" you want? try an ls -n
[12:38] <red> it is
[12:38] <red> otherwise the ll would report numeric permissions instead of name
[12:38] <red> like user 1002 group 1002 etc
[12:39] <red> but we created users in same order on purpose to avoid having to go thru all websites and chown stuff here and there
[12:39] <stephans> anyone have chrome using like insane amounts of mem?

[12:39] <dr_willis> !ram

[12:45] <stephans> OK ++ so I get the part about the cache. But, I experience a large amount of swapping occuring, sapping IO. Does linux really swap the cache to disk? What would be the point in that?

[12:47] <DoctorPepper> can anyone tell me where  can i  make request for new features
[12:47] <asno> llutz: thanks...is it c sharp or gcc?
[12:47] <theorem> stephans: there is a way to tweak that.  modify the /etc/sysctl.conf  add a value for vm.swappiness     it will improve swapping and avoid it if you set the value low -- I suggest '10'\
[12:47] <llutz> ##c  not c# :)    channels start with #(#)asno
[12:48] <bonneroot> h
[12:48] <theorem> DoctorPepper: very interesting - what are you trying to do ?
[12:48] <asno> llutz: cool!! Thanks a lot!
[12:49] <stephans> theorem: thank you.
[12:50] <theorem> stephans: just don't set it to 0, because you want to be able to swap when you need to.

[12:55] <Gentoo64> woozly: its just the way it is
[12:55] <Gentoo64> the panel dont do much
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> woozly:  fix what? its not broken.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> check out the various gnome-shell guides on webupd8 ad other sites to learn about tweaking your gnome-shell
[12:56] <Gentoo64> if you want plain panels (normal) xfce and lxde are like that

[12:59] <iceroot> sobczyk: the kernel-package itself
[12:59] <robde> xx.xx.xx.xx mydomain.tld?
[13:00] <iceroot> sobczyk: e.g. linux-image-3.2.0-9-generic
[13:00] <robde> what would the third parameter be?
[13:00] <Gentoo64> ubuntu dont use proc config afaik but theres another way to get it
[13:00] <root_> which web site better for learning back track????
[13:00] <LjL> !backtrack | root_

[13:31] <subb1> iceroot,  i was following the fix here for my laptop for a battery issue that needed compiling a new kernel. All the steps here http://techinterplay.com/fix-toshiba-battery-issue-linux.html   were completed successfully. When i rebooted to the new kernel I get the following error:
[13:31] <subb1>  kernel panic vfs unable to kernel panic vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block 0 0mount root fs on unknown-block 0 0
[13:31] <iceroot> subb1: and i asked if you are using a netbook asus eeePC or MSI wind
[13:32] <Krised> iceroot hi. I dont know if you remember helping me. its about remastersys. Ive finally installed latest version of it. However the problem seems to be graphics related. I cant even boot it up in safe graphics mode with the remastered iso i made. It fails. Its strange that its the same drivers thats running just fine that its supposed to use.
[13:32] <iceroot> subb1: ok thats something different then the issue i was thinking of
[13:32] <Krised> iceroot or is there some default gfx drivers that ubuntu uses which isnt used when using remastersys or how does that work ?
[13:32] <Guest80042> hey, how can i upgrade MiniTube to v1.7?
[13:32] <iceroot> Krised: and the drivers are in the ramdisc?
[13:33] <ikonia> subb1: sounds like you missed your disk controller out of the kernel
[13:33] <subb1> ikonia, hmm.. how to fix it? not sure on the solution :(
[13:34] <subb1> ikonia, any link on previous fix, or some sites or help would be appreciated'
[13:34] <Krised> iceroot ramdisc ? i dont know which drivers its using.. if i install ubuntu from a downloaded iso it works just fine.. do i remastersys it to an iso after ive installed and upgraded it DOESNT work.. it stops after Checking battery state.. though its a workstation so i dont have any battery
[13:34] <ikonia> subb1: didn't read the fix you put in, but you need to compile in your disk controller into the kernel
[13:35] <uhuhuh> ïûùïûù
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> or frogot to compile in some filesystem support :)  (did that ages ago)
[13:36] <PTBD> hallo. how do i switch my soundcard in ubuntu?

[13:38] <nini87> ciao
[13:38] <Krised> LJL would you happen to have any ideas why an installed ubuntu works fine but ubuntu going through remastersys back into a disc fails at the graphics ?? shouldnt it be the same drivers used ?
[13:38] <LjL> Krised: i've never used remastersys...
[13:39] <Krised> LJL ah its the only program i can find which lets you take an installed linux and turn that into a iso ready for live or install. it just doesnt seem to work with graphics for some reason.

[13:44] <w00tmars> hey guys while botting up the screen is messed up
[13:44] <w00tmars> and sound does not work for me
[13:44] <w00tmars> i dont know whats wrong, tried a lot of things, should i reinstall?
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> w00tmars:  the desktop works? just the grub menu and/or splash screens are messed up?
[13:44] <T_H_X> Krised: the alternate ubuntu iso is a cli installer
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> reinstalling is windows mindset :)
[13:45] <w00tmars> Dr_Willis: the grub bootloader works fine, but you know the boot screen..where the flashy animation plays, thats messed up
[13:45] <w00tmars> desktop works fine except for no souund
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> w00tmars:  just disable the silly splash/plymouth thing. Its pointless eyecandy that oftenhas issues with the non open drivers.
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> as for sound... no idea on that.
[13:46] <Krised> T H X well my problem is that after installing ubuntu and costumizing it. (works just fine) then i use remastersys to pack that into an iso. When i try to boot up on that iso (using a disc) it stops after checking battery state.. indicating its a graphics related problem. Now. If i perhaps could run the installer from CLI it MIGHT work.. however im just used to the one in gnome so i dont know what its called
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> if you are using hdmi output for video and sound.. ive had a few pcs where i had to use the audio out and not hdmi to get sound working.
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> Night all.. bed time for me.
[13:50] <T_H_X> Krised: its called ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso or amd4
[13:51] <jakes> can anyone help me how to open logfiles?? of root access

[13:52] <Oxymoron> Hi, is there anyway to recover/crack password from a rar archive without need to bruteforce? Some kind of exploit.
[13:53] <Krised> T H X Thats no good sadly. If i download an Ubuntu it works flawlessly. Its only after ive installed the system, upgraded all packages and installed likewise-open and prepared it for new domain users (without adding it to the domain) and remastered it into a ISO and attempting to boot on that iso that the graphics prevents it from ever starting up past checking battery state.
[13:53] <jakes> can anyone help how can i install nfs hot persuit in ubuntu
[13:54] <CaptAnon> quick question. I type "at now" into terminal
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> jakes  i know ssh, but what is hot persuit exactly?
[13:54] <T_H_X> Krised: ok.. when you boot .. and graphics fails, have you tried pressing ctrl-alt F1  and loging into bash, then try restarting lightdm and modding xorg.conf or removing it if it exists
[13:54] <CaptAnon> then xeyes <ctrl+D>
[13:54] <CaptAnon> but it does not work, Does anyone know why?

[14:03] <iceroot> Evilkiss1: setfacl is oen way, with that you can control the files in that dir
[14:03] <iceroot> Evilkiss1: or umask on specific programs like ftp
[14:04] <cis> iceroot: you can set user umasks
[14:04] <Evilkiss1> ok, but how? if i use setfacl to directory its change permissions to file that have already there, but no for new ones
[14:05] <iceroot> cis: where?
[14:05] <Krised> T_H_X ill have to go now. Its getting late here. Ill get in monday if i can. The remastersys admin dont think its his program causing this.

[14:08] <trirnoth> iceroot: Tried that from .... oh. Wait. CTRL ALT will show a console.
[14:08] <WebMasteruj> ;)
[14:08] <T_H_X> ctrl-alt f7 to go back to desktop
[14:08] <Chugol007> ctrl + alt + f1 first display console
[14:09] <kalgecin> or f8 sometimes T_H_X
[14:09] <trirnoth> Right. So problem is I can't open anything under the desktop to actually run the unity --reset.
[14:10] <kalgecin> trirnoth, login from tty
[14:10] <Evilkiss1> iceroot: really? Can you help me with command? I want that nobody else group have rwx permissions on files in contract directory...only sale group.... i use command setfacl -R -m o:sale:--- contract
[14:10] <kalgecin> trirnoth, ctrl + alt + f2 to drop into one of the tty s
[14:11] <trirnoth> there. and when I tried running the unity --reset it fails stating can't find display.
[14:11] <Guest52447> Question I have a MAC running parallels with ubuntu installed as a VM. My mac and other computers are connected to a 192.168.x.y network mac is <IP_ADDRESS> and my other is a .101, my ubuntu VM has a 10.211.x.y address. I have ssh setup on all 3 computers, I can ssh from my MAC into my VM , from both my VM and Mac to the x.101 computer, but I cannot SSH into my  VM from my .101 computer is there anyways I can setup a ssh tunnel
[14:12] <trirnoth> Oh. wait. crap. I might have done that when x was logged in as the temp user, not  .... checking.
[14:12] <kalgecin> trirnoth, login to the good user, open a terminal type "su baduser" and reset
[14:14] <Evilkiss1> Somebody HELP
[14:14] <bazhang> Evilkiss1, with what
[14:15] <Evilkiss1> bazhang: Can you help me with command?  Is there a way to restert X any more? Used to be ctrl alt bksp, then /etc/init.d/gdm restart ....
[14:16] <_cb> mount -t ext3 /dev/cciss/c0d2/opt /mnt tells me mount -t ext4 /dev/cciss/c0d2/opt does not exist but fdisk -l lists  /dev/cciss/c0d2/opt  and if I insert the drive in the original computer I see /opt.
[14:16] <Evilkiss1> bazhang: setfacl
[14:16] <bazhang> Evilkiss1, have you read the manual page for that thoroughly?
[14:16] <ikonia> _cb: what you just said makes zero sense
[14:17] <Smith_> Hi everybody
[14:17] <Evilkiss1> bazhang: i tried...
[14:17] <ikonia> _cb: c0d2 is a disk - not a partition
[14:17] <ikonia> _cb: fdisk -l will not list where the file system can be mounted, eg: /opt

[14:17] <MonkeyDust> Guest34249  set your network type to 'bridged'
[14:18] <savask> Hello. I have a problem with my printer: not long ago it suddenly stopped working, though it worked ideally before. Maybe that happened after an update, I don't know. When I try to set it up, it just doesn't appear in the list of connected printers (but lsusb shows it). I use Ubuntu 11.10, printer model is Xerox. Printer works fine in 11.10 live-cd. So, what can I do about that?
[14:18] <gionnico> Hi!
[14:18] <gionnico> I have a problem with a SD card. The kernel hangs (blkid timeout) when I try I/O: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/541598/
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> Guest34249  wrong guest, sorry
[14:19] <_cb> ikonia how would I mount the root of c0d2 onto /mnt ?
[14:19] <Pharaoh> Can I have a link to Ubuntu offtopic?
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> Pharaoh  #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:19] <Pharaoh> Thanks
[14:19] <Pharaoh> :O
[14:19] <Smith_> I have little problem when I restart ubuntu, it checks my filesystem everytime. How can i force check it once and then it should stat quickly.
[14:20] <ikonia> _cb: you don't - it's a disk not a partition
[14:20] <savask> Smith_: Probably it does a quick check, not the full one. Nothing wrong with it, for my mind.
[14:20] <_cb> ikonia can I mount the root partition ? (how?)
[14:21] <ikonia> _cb: yes, you mount the partition, not the disk
[14:21] <Evilkiss1> iceroot: Help
[14:22] <Evilkiss1> iceroot: really...
[14:23] <Smith_> Thanks savask but how can i permanently skip it. So it never checks again

[14:23] <diverdude> lets say i insterted a disk into my machine (SATA disk) and its recognized under /dev/sdb1 and im only gonna use it in this machine this one time and then plug it out again, is it ok to just do: mount /etc/sdb1 /path/to/mountpoint    use the disk turn of the machine and put it back to its normal machine or do I have to add it in fstab and all that?
[14:24] <llutz> diverdude: no need to edit fstab to just use it once
[14:24] <_cb> iconia I pulled a drive from an array from computer 1, inserted into the array in computer 2. Am trying to mount it but at a loss as to how to do it.
[14:24] <_cb> ikonia I pulled a drive from an array from computer 1, inserted into the array in computer 2. Am trying to mount it but at a loss as to how to do it.
[14:24] <ikonia> _cb: ok - lets walk it through
[14:25] <ikonia> _cb: first question 1.) was this disk part of a similar computer (a HP server?)
[14:25] <diverdude> llutz, ahh ok...nice...so just mounting it simple as i said should be ok...no need to starting using all that UUID stuff and all that?
[14:25] <Evilkiss1> YES, I have made it
[14:25] <llutz> diverdude: nope, just the easy way
[14:25] <_cb> yes both computers are identical
[14:25] <Evilkiss1> I very good
[14:25] <_cb> ikonia yes both computers are identical
[14:25] <ikonia> _cb: I'm assuming a HP DL class server ?
[14:25] <trirnoth> Okay. finally got my settings restarted. Thanks all. kalgecin: hadn't thought to reset from another users X and su'ing in.
[14:25] <unomi> So, I just upgraded a fairly dated machine that was doing a fairly good job as htpc / family computer under 11.04 to 11.10
[14:26] <_cb> ikonia yes hp proliant dl 380 with ubuntu LTS 10.04
[14:26] <unomi> My burning question at the moment is if I can gracefully downgrade
[14:26] <ikonia> _cb: ok - great, as the disk is sat on the cciss controll,er do you know if it was part of a raid set /
[14:26] <trirnoth> Any way to back this crap up so I can play and not worry about messing it up beyond repair again? Preferably restore from a console command line.
[14:27] <_cb> ikonia source computer is one logical drive (2 ph) raid 10, dest computer is 2 logical drive raid 10
[14:27] <ikonia> _cb: ok, so mirrored disks, that's not too bad
[14:27] <ikonia> _cb: can you please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" on the target computer with the new disk plugged in place
[14:27] <ikonia> "please
[14:28] <Nach0z> hey got a question for yall. I have a process that's eating all of my bandwidth; is there any way to limit the network usage of a process, or just the network usage of a single user on my machine?
[14:28] <misterphp> hello
[14:28] <ikonia> Nach0z: let me guess, a torrent ?
[14:28] <misterphp> lol
[14:28] <Nach0z> ikonia: nope, MySQL database transfer
[14:28] <Nach0z> six gigs of it, and I'm running this server off my home internet.
[14:28] <ikonia> Nach0z: database transer ? you mean you are copying files across the network, or mysql replication ?
[14:29] <Nach0z> mysql replication. this tool queries my DB, and inserts the data on a different machine
[14:29] <diverdude> llutz, what happens then if i turn on a machine which expects a disk at /dev/sdbX because i put it in the /etc/fstab,,,and the disk it not there? will it just not mount it then and work normally otherwise? And next time I reboot the machine it will try to mount again
[14:29] <ikonia> Nach0z: ok, so it's not the mysql replication, but a tool that's reading the database and inserting it across the network into a new target database ?
[14:29] <Nach0z> ikonia: basically my mysql is eating 200 percent of my internet right now, and I want to limit the network usage of this process without interrupting the transfer.
[14:29] <Nach0z> yes, that's exactly it, it's reading and inserting elsewhere
[14:29] <ikonia> Nach0z: I don't think it can eat %200 of your internet
[14:30] <Nach0z> ikonia: -_- I'm just trying to make a point with that. Yes I know 200 percent is impossible here. but you get what I'm trying to say.
[14:30] <ikonia> Nach0z: you will strugglge to do what you want, as you'll either have to qos it on your router (lots of home routers won'd do this) or qos it using something like iptables, but that's quite a big job to setup, especially for a one time hit, and it will interupt the transger
[14:30] <llutz> diverdude: it will complain at boottime if its not present, but should work (depending on _what_ is on the fs). next time it will start normal, /etc/fstab will not be changed autom. by that
[14:31] <Nach0z> ikonia: what if I renice the process? would that help at all?
[14:31] <diverdude> llutz, great...its just a storage device for documents
[14:31] <ikonia> not really no,
[14:31] <ikonia> Nach0z: your best bet is to just ride it out on this one occasion,
[14:32] <llutz> diverdude: shouldn't harm. different story if it would hold /var or something
[14:32] <ikonia> Nach0z: any process will use as much bandwidth as possible, so it's just working as best it can
[14:32] <Nach0z> ikonia: >_< so there's really no options to do what I want this to do?
[14:32] <_cb> ikonia http://pastebin.com/BL7NPnGP sorry for the delay. pastebin has gotten a lot more comercial since last time i usedit
[14:32] <ironhalik> hmm, my messeging applet doesnt turn blue when I got a waiting empathy msg - any ideas?
[14:32] <popey> ikonia: trickle is good for rate limiting a program Nach0z
[14:32] <popey> !info trickle
[14:32] <ikonia> Nach0z: not at this moment
[14:33] <diverdude> llutz, if it was would that completely mess up the system? or could i just reinsert the disk and start the machine and everything would work as before?
[14:33] <ikonia> popey: but can this be done dynamically while his process is running
[14:33] <llutz> diverdude: the latter
[14:33] <popey> ikonia: no, you initiate it before
[14:33] <Nach0z> popey: yeah that don't help me in that case :/ but thanks for tryin
[14:33] <ikonia> popey: yes, that's not an option then as he doesn't want to kill the transfer
[14:33] <diverdude> llutz, nice....i really like linux' simplicity in those aspects :) It just works as you expect it to work
[14:34] <llutz> diverdude: sometimes, yes :)
[14:34] <unomi> Nach0z: honestly I do think that you can shape it while it is running, but it might be easier to hit it else where, such as bottlenecking its diskio or cpu
[14:35] <ikonia> unomi: how will hitting it's cpu change it's network performance
[14:35] <Nach0z> unomi: that's actually not a bad idea... the CPU isn't being used enough to make a difference, but what's a good way to limit a process's hdd usage?
[14:35] <popey> Nach0z: do something else that eats IO ☺
[14:35] <ikonia> Nach0z: you mean limit it's I/O or limit how much space it can use
[14:35] <gionnico> I have a problem with a SD card. The kernel hangs (blkid timeout) when I try I/O: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/541598/
[14:35] <Nach0z> ikonia: if it can't get enough CPU time to do the read commands off of the disk at a speed that'll transfer out at 400 kb/s, it'll slow it down.
[14:35] <Nach0z> ikonia: I mean I/O on the disk
[14:36] <unomi> ikonia: that should be pretty obvious, you are trying to impact the amount of data it is trying to send, rather than how much it can send
[14:36] <ikonia> Nach0z: that sort of process eats pretty much no cpu - so you'd have to unplug the process to stop it being able to process
[14:36] <popey> Nach0z: you want the moon on a stick, face it, you probably should restart if you really want to do this
[14:36] <trirnoth> Ubuntu 11.10. Icons in unity taskbar look great. Icons in a window (like the home folder) all look like a blank page. No difference between photos, folders, music, ..... something I can reset ?

[14:36] <anonymous44> anyone know how to print to SVG in Ubuntu? I believe I saw this in prior versions of Ubuntu.  I am using Gnome3 with Ubuntu 11.10.  Thanks.
[14:36] <ikonia> crippling your machine to limit bandwidth seems like a back to front approach
[14:37] <ikonia> _cb: looking at your issue now, apologies for the delay
[14:37] <ikonia> _cb: ok - so just to confirm the disk you want to read is /dev/cciss/c0d0 ?

[14:37] <ironhalik> so, any ideas on the not-turning-blue msg indicator?

[14:41] <unomi> Nach0z: man ionice
[14:41] <Nach0z> unomi: I was just lookin at that actually, thanks
[14:42] <Nach0z> still requires something else to be taking up the IO for it to do any good but it's a close shot.... maybe I can set up another process to help limit this
[14:42] <ikonia> Nach0z: how long is the process going to take to complete ?
[14:43] <Nach0z> ikonia: a day or more. it's a big database on a slow connection.
[14:44] <ikonia> Nach0z: how far along is it ?
[14:44] <Evilkiss1> Can i combine two groups in one group in the permissions issue?
[14:44] <isildur_> LjL sorry can you help me?
[14:45] <Nach0z> ikonia: not very far along but the person that is on the other end won't be able to restart it for several hours if I interrupt it
[14:45] <ikonia> Nach0z: honestly, I believe it's just best to ride it out, and make a note for if you have to do this again
[14:45] <isildur_> my wifi connection is too low
[14:45] <isildur_> what can i do?
[14:45] <Nach0z> ikonia: noted -_- gonna keep trying though
[14:45] <LjL> isildur_: i don't use wifi much, i don't know. i'll give you a link to the documentation.
[14:45] <LjL> !wifi > isildur_
[14:45] <ikonia> Nach0z: crippling your machine in some way to control your network card doesn't seem a wise approach
[14:46] <Nach0z> ikonia: also noted. I'm looking at throttling the process's CPU usage right now; it's using about 5 percent, if I limit it to something like 1 percent I may get some results.
[14:46] <ikonia> I promise you it won't make a difference
[14:46] <ikonia> you won't
[14:46] <ikonia> nice is just priority, not limiting
[14:46] <Nach0z> not using nice
[14:47] <ikonia> how are you trying to limit it's cpu usage then ?
[14:47] <Nach0z> cpulimit
[14:47] <ikonia> you won't get a result with that (welcome to try and good luck of course)
[14:48] <unomi> Nach0z: no dice with ionice?
[14:48] <unomi> setting it as an idle io process would seem to put a hamper on it
[14:48] <issa> i am running ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on toshiba a500 laptop ... and i am having troubles with overheating the temp always above 60 when idle
[14:49] <Nach0z> unomi: didn't do much. I mean I set it to an idle process but there's nothing else using IO right now.
[14:49] <_cb> ikonia sorry for the delay. Boss came up and needed help. He disk I am trying to mount is /dev/cciss/c0d2
[14:50] <ikonia> _cb: as you can see in your paste 31.Disk /dev/cciss/c0d2 doesn't contain a valid partition table
[14:50] <ikonia> _cb: that means there is nothing there to mount
