[04:09] <adalal> Jeff72834: you can install windows after ubuntu, but you need to rerun grub installer
[04:09] <Jeff72834> how do i re run grub installer
[04:09] <Jeff72834> new to ubuntu
[04:09] <adalal> from the live disk
[04:09] <sk0rv> can ubunu server handle dhcp for multiple lans?
[04:09] <adalal> sk0rv: yes
[04:09] <adalal> use dhcpd
[04:09] <Jeff72834> i do like ubuntu os but need xp for other windows programs
[04:09] <KM0201> !grub2 | Jeff72834 it's in this link somewhere
[04:10] <seancron> adalal: I have a couple scripts for youtube downloading/conversion if you're interested
[04:10] <lahwran> I just have no idea where to go to ask this, so does anyone know where I might go to discuss the nethack dungeon description file format?
[04:10] <sk0rv> cuz abnormally it has stalled and will need to reboot
[04:10] <adalal> Jeff72834: one way of doing it is a full ubuntu installation, and if the windows programs you need aren't too demanding, use virtual machines within Ubuntu
[04:10] <cp2_4eva> im gonna use windows for the games.  other than that....nada
[04:10] <cp2_4eva> I'll be playing league of legends and aion and maybe city of heroes
[04:10] <cp2_4eva> never wow
[04:11] <adalal> sk0rv: what do you mean reboot?
[04:11] <adalal> sk0rv: dhcpd?
[04:11] <sk0rv> y
[04:11] <Jeff72834> microsoft streets and trips is only program that i need if i can get it to run on ubuntu i wont even need windows
[04:11] <sk0rv> using dhcp3-server
[04:11] <SPooN> anyone know how much win7 costs right now?
[04:11] <adalal> sk0rv: if it's dhcpd you need to restart, just put it 'sudo service restart dhcp3-server'
[04:11] <lahwran> SPooN: more than ubuntu
[04:11] <adalal> sorry
[04:12] <adalal> sudo service dhcp3-server restart
[04:12] <SPooN> lahwran, I miss my games/photoshop/illumination
[04:12] <lahwran> no idea.
[04:12] <Jeff72834> i do have windows on virtual box already installed but can not get to be full screen it is a dell studio and virtual box can be made full screen but it is not filling up computer
[04:12] <sk0rv> i tried... all remained the same... noip on lans... no internet too ofc
[04:12] <sk0rv> after reboot all ok
[04:13] <Dcite> Jeff72834: Was guest additions installed? That's needed for the VM for full screen.
[04:13] <zomGreg> around $200?
[04:13] <GeekSquid> Jeff72834: install virtuabox guest additions .. look at my computer, there will be a program which will run from there which will install the video driver for fullscreen
[04:13] <adalal> sk0rv: that's one option, but that means there's an underlying problem
[04:13] <Guest37504> When I dual boot Linux and Windows I install Windows into the first partition and use the Windows NT boot loader. Linux install GRUB into the linux partition. A manual entry into C:/BOOT.INI hidden file is required but I can not remember the entry. I now use virtual machines on Linux instead.
[04:13] <doobien> Jeff72834, have you tried to install the guest additions from the menu?
[04:14] <Jeff72834> no how do i do that?
[04:14] <sk0rv> i just installed it
[04:14] <SPooN> http://cgi.ebay.com/Windows-7-Home-premium-64-Bit-Dvd-cd-Operating-system-/270685099043?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0616d423
[04:14] <SPooN> :D 30 seconds left
[04:14] <GeekSquid> Jeff72834: devices menu
[04:14] <sk0rv> the server + bind9 + dhcp3-server
[04:14] <Dcite> Jeff72834: Look at the menus on the top of the VM window while the VM is running, look for the words guest additions
[04:15] <kcorcoran_> anyone use ninam?
[04:15] <SPooN> dang it some idiot bidded more than me...
[04:15] <adalal> lol
[04:15] <adalal> how much did you bid for it?
[04:15] <Stevezau> Ive diabled pulse audio but something is creating a .pulse folder in my home directory... is that normal???
[04:16] <adalal> by disabled, uninstalled?
[04:16] <sk0rv> i used to install ubuntu-desktop on server but this time i'm using shell only
[04:17] <adalal> nice..
[04:17] <adalal> um, does it happen all the time?
[04:17] <adalal> SPooN: i can sell you a key if you want.. it's an unused MSDNAA key
[04:17] <Stevezau> adalal yep
[04:17] <Stevezau> no idea where its coming from..
[04:17] <SPooN> adalal, I'm going to stick with Ubuntu for now honestly.
[04:18] <adalal> Stevezau: you mean yes, you uninstalled? what did you uninstall exactly?
[04:18] <adalal> SPooN: cool..
[04:18] <Culero_> adalal: lol that you got for free...
[04:18] <yigal> how large will the linux-source grow upon a normal kernel compile?
[04:18] <yigal> right now it's at 2.4Gb and growing
[04:18] <adalal> Culero_: yes, which is why i'm only selling it for £10 or so
[04:19] <yigal> I have 1gb left
[04:19] <adalal> Culero_: i could sell the key to someone else for a grand profit
[04:19] <Stevezau> adalal apt-get remove <everything pulse audio>
[04:19] <Culero_> I have such keys...
[04:19] <yigal> lol
[04:19] <Jeff72834> Thank you i have found guest additions under devices and am currently installing and rebooting thanks for the information
[04:20] <yigal> anyone have an estimate for me?
[04:20] <yigal> using /boot/config-$(uname -r) as .config
[04:21] <yigal> with a small tweak
[04:21] <pangeran_kesepia> hgg
[04:21] <r00t4rd3d> yigal, open a terminal , sudo apt-get clean , then sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:21] <yigal> r00t4rd3d: already done, ty though
[04:21] <r00t4rd3d> see if that frees up some space
[04:21] <ccvp> wow

[04:21] <ccvp> with NO hiccups
[04:22] <PhonicUK> hey all, what package do i need to install so that Grub can boot ext2 partitions?
[04:22] <yigal> r00t4rd3d: building in ~/src
[04:22] <SPooN> ccvp nice net..
[04:22] <Stevezau> adalal it returns nothing..
[04:22] <ccvp> spoon, its really a cool setup
[04:22] <adalal> Culero_: great, i could do with some cash... :P i am student after all..
[04:22] <yigal> r00t4rd3d: was hoping someone might know the ~ size I should expecta

[04:22] <adalal> Stevezau: tbh, i wouldn't bother with it much.. it's only a small folder
[04:23] <jturek> `/win new
[04:23] <SPooN> ccvp if I had access to that kind of equip I'd try it :P
[04:23] <ccvp> zero hiccups, even for highest data quality files, ie: blue-ray TS files
[04:23] <adalal> Stevezau: does it not delete, or does it reappear after deleting?
[04:23] <r00t4rd3d> yigal, you didnt happen to use wubi to install did you ?
[04:23] <Stevezau> adalal yeah im just having massive issues with audio at the moment.. so im trying to t-shoot..

[04:23] <ccvp> took me 7 hours to get this crap working
[04:23] <yigal> r00t4rd3d: no, why?
[04:23] <ccvp> had to do all this weird tweaking with codecs etc
[04:24] <yigal> ccvp: sounds impressive
[04:24] <r00t4rd3d> your virtual disk would grow if needed.
[04:24] <Stevezau> Ive got an XS35GT trying to get HDMI passthrough working with AC3 encoded media files.. trying to simply play them in mplayer at the moment
[04:24] <yigal> r00t4rd3d: no, I'm on an iddy bitty 8gb flash drive

[04:31] <Medjai> stupid xchat
[04:31] <seancron> JackOfHearts: no problem. it's amazing what you can find by googling "kubuntu embed terminal desktop" :P
[04:31] <Medjai> .search cm 7
[04:31] <snarkster> when updating grub i type sudo update-grub and it responds with grub-probe: error: can not find device for / (is /dev mounted?) this is not showing up in the howto. Any help with this would be great
[04:31] <Da_Rhyno> However, it's not recognizing the other OS.
[04:32] <adalal> Stevezau: i think the file is being actively modified somehow

[04:33] <Stevezau> adalal you are right. Ive checked the timestamp and it appears its recreated as soon as i delete it
[04:33] <Stevezau> wonder what is doing it
[04:33] <adalal> umm
[04:33] <adalal> u can find out
[04:33] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[04:33] <gabe_newell> how do I see how much memory my graphics board have?
[04:33] <seancron> JackOfHearts: what's the problem with conky? if it's flickering you might need to double buffer it.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> gabe_newell: sudo lshw -C display may tell you
[04:33] <wolf23> rs0832,  i have content protection disable
[04:34] <d-arker> existe algun software de facutaracion gratuito y que tenga la opcion de facutaricion electronica ?

[04:35] <Stevezau> hmm
[04:35] <Stevezau> lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/xbmc/.gvfs
[04:35] <adalal> thought it would be something to do with fuse
[04:35] <seancron> JackOfHearts: conky works fine with me on compiz. you might need to double buffer it. see #3 here http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html
[04:35] <Stevezau> d?????????  ? ?    ?           ?                ? .gvfs   wtf is that??
[04:35] <quiescens> no no
[04:36] <shafiq_> Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to control a users Desktop remotely (with their permission) in order to trouble shoot with them?  Does FreeNX allow the user to see what I would be doing on their desktop?
[04:36] <quiescens> that's just lsof complaining about the .gvfs stuff in the home directory
[04:36] <Da_Rhyno> Jordan_U - http://pastebin.com/L9vsXNDc
[04:36] <Stevezau> not to sure what fuse is..
[04:36] <JackOfHearts> seean i will but not now need go to work asap just need this term and im off but i will work on it later i setup this ubu/kubu yestarday so not rly got time to tweak it right
[04:36] <Stevezau> sorry new to ubuntu
[04:36] <quiescens> lsof tries to stat all open files, and will show that failure
[04:36] <adalal> Stevezau: dont worry about that
[04:37] <Da_Rhyno> and mind you, it doesn't come up with the Welcome Window that it was supposed to come up when I boot up.
[04:37] <francisco> hi
[04:37] <quiescens> that isn't to do with your pulse thingy
[04:37] <francisco> which browser is the fastest?
[04:37] <Stevezau> adalal can i disable it from creating .pulse?
[04:37] <Tally> Dual booting ubuntu with Windows XP.. after installation i cant boot into Windows. Just a blinking cursor. What shall I do
[04:37] <adalal> Da_Rhyno: doesn't come up with all the bloatware either
[04:37] <Da_Rhyno> ?
[04:37] <adalal> Stevezau: i wouldn't worry about that...
[04:37] <adalal> Stevezau: have u installed xbmc yet?
[04:37] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Is there any output from "sudo os-prober"?
[04:38] <dcyber09> anyone who knows how to move current group to another group :\
[04:38] <adalal> dcyber09: by that u mean, change groups? change stuff in /etc/passwd
[04:38] <Stevezau> adalal nah
[04:38] <dcyber09> lemme try
[04:38] <dcyber09> o.O
[04:38] <adalal> Stevezau: strange, cuz it shows signs that xbmc has been on that machine
[04:38] <Stevezau> i did on another build but it didnt work as my audio system is not working correctly
[04:38] <Da_Rhyno> yeah.... sda1: Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain
[04:38] <melvinram> What's the best way to learn and become an expert in ubuntu servers? specifically for  hosting high-availability websites
[04:39] <Stevezau> hmm maybe i installed and uninstalled it
[04:39] <Stevezau> cant rem.. ive done so many things the past 2 days
[04:39] <Da_Rhyno> sda2 & sda3 are Windows 7 (loader):Windows1:chain and Windows2:chain
[04:39] <adalal> melvinram: just do it
[04:39] <rs0832> melvinram, just try stuff out and see the guides at help.ubuntu.com
[04:39] <adalal> Stevezau: try sudo apt-get purge xbmc*
[04:39] <rigved> Tally: does the grub menu come up when you boot up?
[04:39] <GeekSquid> melvinram: this would be a good place to start, as would google... but first learn your way around linux/ubuntu and bash
[04:39] <quiescens> Stevezau: try: lsof | grep .pulse         and see if it can tell you what's accesing .pulse
[04:39] <dcyber09> adalal : i dont understand :\ can u give me an example
[04:40] <melvinram> There is no structured guide to helping someone get up to speed?
[04:40] <Tally> rigved, yes. when i select Windows XP i just get a blinking cursor
[04:40] <adalal> dcyber09: what do you wanna do? change groups for a file? or for a user?
[04:40] <Jordan_U> Tally: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[04:40] <rigved> melvinram: there are paid guides at beginlinux
[04:41] <melvinram> rigved: thanks. that might be more of what i'm looking for
[04:41] <dcyber09> adalal : change froups for a user of course
[04:41] <rigved> melvinram: you are welcome
[04:41] <rs0832> melvinram, also, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html
[04:42] <Da_Rhyno> Yet, when I go into the installer, all I see are "Erase and use the entire disk" and "Specify partitions manually"
[04:42] <adalal> dcyber09: you are using a desktop with gui right?
[04:42] <melvinram> rs0832: jackpot! thanks
[04:42] <dcyber09> no
[04:42] <rs0832> melvinram, :)
[04:42] <dcyber09> adalal : i currently useing ubuntu server
[04:42] <Stevezau> 2 secs.. just rebooting after purge
[04:42] <adalal> dcyber09: the file with all the groups and users are /etc/group and /etc/passwd
[04:43] <adalal> change the user group id in /etc/passwd to match the group in /etc/group that you want to place the user in
[04:43] <Da_Rhyno> rigved - I was using the guide on the ubuntu website, where the downloads lead to.
[04:43] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Well, your hard drive already has 4 primary partitions, which would make it difficult to add another for Ubuntu.
[04:43] <dcyber09> adalal : i see
[04:43] <dcyber09> adalal : thanks xD
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> adalal: why not just use usermod, far safer
[04:43] <Da_Rhyno> Jordan_U - what I don't understand is how all those partitions got there in the first place.
[04:44] <dcyber09> usermod ?
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> ive seen windows7 installs with 4 primary partitions.
[04:44] <adalal> dcyber09: i was jus gonna say, be careful of file permissions.. but actionparsnip's idea is far better
[04:44] <Da_Rhyno> Dr_Willis - That's normal, then?
[04:44] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Some OEMs make idiotic decisions.
[04:44] <rigved> melvinram: that ubuntu guide is also available in your /usr/ folder
[04:44] <dcyber09> well i accept all advice
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> Da_Rhyno:  not sure if its normal.. but the HP desktop i got over xmas was that way.
[04:44] <dcyber09> ActionParsnip : hows do that using usermod :)
[04:44] <Stevezau> ok
[04:45] <Stevezau> i think the fucker has gone
[04:45] <Da_Rhyno> This is an msi laptop...
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> (windows /boot equiliv) (windows) (some system rescue) (and somthing else)
[04:45] <Stevezau> i did a apt-get purge pulse*
[04:45] <Jordan_U> !language | Stevezau
[04:45] <cryptodira> i am getting a BUNCH resource temporarily unavailable errors..... when trying to launch things.... like xchat, htop, browsers...what could be causing this?  10.04/amd64/toshiba satellite
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> win7 dosent need that /boot equilivent. but not sure of a proper way to remove it.
[04:45] <Da_Rhyno> So is there any way I can clean this mess up without losing anything?
[04:45] <Stevezau> adalal thanks for your help.. it removed gnome as well so ill have to reinstall it
[04:45] <melvinram> rigved: gotcha. I'll probably use the web version since I'm going to setup a virtual server at rackspace cloud to play with it
[04:46] <Da_Rhyno> Or install ubuntu without losing anything?
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> Da_Rhyno:  personally with hd's sop cheap. I just buy a 2nd hd for any machine im going to convert to linux only. and keep the winhd somewher safe
[04:46] <Da_Rhyno> This is a laptop though.
[04:46] <adalal> Stevezau: sorry abt that :S didn't realise xbmc would remove gnome.. shouldve come up as a warning of thigns it will remove..
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> examine whats on teh aprtition. and back one up perhaps. or backup the whold hd to a usb hd.
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> my laptop had spaces for 2 hd's :)
[04:47] <Da_Rhyno> I already backed up everything.
[04:47] <dcyber09> thanks~
[04:47] <adalal> Stevezau: did u try installing the xbmc desktop thing?
[04:47] <adalal> lol
[04:47] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: If you don't ever use recovery partitions then you can remove that.
[04:47] <Da_Rhyno> I don't. How can I?
[04:48] <Stevezau> adalal no?
[04:48] <Stevezau> when i did apt-get purge pulse it also purged half of gnome :P
[04:48] <Da_Rhyno> Mind you, the recovery partition is very small.
[04:49] <adalal> Stevezau: im surprised in that case.. but didn't you get a list of things it'd remove?
[04:49] <Dr_Willis> Da_Rhyno:  you ould resize the others to make it bigger
[04:49] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Size doesn't matter, it's the need for a primary partition.
[04:49] <adalal> Stevezau: i said purge xbmc.. not pulse
[04:49] <adalal> lol
[04:50] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: And if you replace the recovery partition with an extended one you can create as many additional partitions as you want, which is one of the reasons why it's particularly stupid for an OEM to ship 4 primary partitions (none of which are extended).
[04:50] <Stevezau> adalal yeah i know.. but i thought id do pulse as well :P
[04:51] <Da_Rhyno> Ah...
[04:51] <deepsix> Hey, I am using Ubuntu 10.04LTS with Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu built into it
[04:51] <pauly> Whoa
[04:51] <Da_Rhyno> I haive to figure out which partition is which.
[04:51] <Da_Rhyno> have*
[04:51] <deepsix> after a period of time, the display randomly blacks out
[04:51] <shafiq_> m0zes blunden: I guess the lack of moving parts (swinging keyboard) makes up for the "plasticky" nature of the Galaxy compared to the Desire. A case will cover it up nicely too, I think?
[04:51] <pauly> Hey everyone
[04:51] <adalal> Stevezau: it would.. certain gnome things ahve a pulse as a dependency
[04:51] <deepsix> not sure what to do.
[04:51] <shafiq_> Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to control a users Desktop remotely (with their permission) in order to trouble shoot with them? Does FreeNX allow the user to see what I would be doing on their desktop?
[04:52] <Da_Rhyno> Jordan_U - if it says "boot, diag" for certain Flags, does that mean that's the bootstrap of my OS?
[04:52] <adalal> shafiq_: ssh?
[04:52] <Da_Rhyno> and what does "diag" mean?
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> shafiq_: I believe so, ubuntu also comes with vino by default and you can vnc to the same desktop (use an SSH tunnel if you are assisting over the web)
[04:53] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Diagnostics, i.e. a bootable partition with diagnostic utilities.
[04:53] <Da_Rhyno> Ah... okay.
[04:53] <Da_Rhyno> Did you see that list I pastebin'ed like you asked for?
[04:53] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Yes.
[04:53] <Da_Rhyno> I'm trying to figure out which partitions are what.
[04:54] <deepsix> #twil
[04:54] <shafiq_> adalal  ActionParsnip:  any tutorials on how to set that up?
[04:54] <BlackWeb> has anyone ever used the HP BAckup utility that backs up in FBW
[04:54] <Da_Rhyno> And furthermore, figure out what partition I can delete so I can use it for Ubuntu
[04:54] <BlackWeb> or know of the HP channel
[04:55] <james__> hey
[04:55] <Da_Rhyno> brb...
[04:55] <TroN-0074> can sombody please tell me how to select KDE session from terminal? I have removed gnome and now I cant get in
[04:55] <james__> does any1 know if umbntu has a game creator?
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> TroN-0074:  you cant sleect it from teh KDM menus when you login?
[04:56] <TroN-0074> no it appears empty
[04:56] <lickalott> most of you guys using xchat or konversation?
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> TroN-0074:  thats odd. You did install kubuntu-desktop package?
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> TroN-0074:  theres on /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop ?
[04:57] <TroN-0074> I did install it from synaptic
[04:57] <james__> dr .willis can u see this?
[04:58] <cryptodira> i am getting a BUNCH resource temporarily unavailable errors..... when trying to launch things.... like xchat, htop, browsers...what could be causing this?  10.04/amd64/toshiba satellite
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> james__:  we see you
[04:58] <james__> ok can you help me when your done
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> ask the question o the channel and see who can answer.. thats the best way
[04:59] <JackOfHearts> last question any other than konsole qt based term emu?
[04:59] <francisco> cryptodira Did u installed over an older install?
[04:59] <JackOfHearts>  tryng to google and aptiutude something but witout succes only gtk
[05:00] <Da_Rhyno> ib
[05:00] <Da_Rhyno> I'm on my Windows 7 OS now...
[05:01] <TroN-0074> I am in terminal mode, how can I install gnome back? or how can I configure kde so it will boot into that session?
[05:01] <spetrea> TroN-0074: CTRL+ALT+F7 ?
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> TroN-0074:  try a sudo apt-get isntall kubuntu-desktop
[05:01] <cryptodira> francisco: fresh install on a new laptop.... has been working with no problems for over a month... this just started yesterday and is getting progressively worse....reboot, makes things ok for a short time...then the errors start
[05:01] <JackOfHearts> TroN-0074: sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[05:02] <TroN-0074> I did that Dr_willis and it says that the one installed is already the newest
[05:02] <spetrea> TroN-0074: CTRL+ALT+F7 ?
[05:02] <nit-wit> qwebirc97871, sorry man  wasn't ignoring you
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> TroN-0074: do you have   /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop ?
[05:02] <JackOfHearts> TroN-0074:  or stop using lame gnome .. if u like gtk use xfce way better
[05:02] <Da_Rhyno> Do you all still have that pastebin I put in here?
[05:02] <Da_Rhyno> I need the link please.
[05:04] <TroN-0074> installing ubuntu desktop right now hope that works
[05:05] <aksh1> hi all,i did git clone a month back after this new branch is merged at server how to sync with this new branch to locally
[05:05] <Da_Rhyno> Jordan_U - can you give me that link I posted earlier? the pastebin?
[05:05] <james__> are htere any game creators for umbuntu???
[05:05] <Da_Rhyno> I'm trying to match up disk drives with partitions
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> james__: sure, look into penumbra and urban terror. ID software also love linux
[05:05] <voronika> james: yea, there's this el8 game
[05:05] <voronika> it's called Nibbles
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: http://pastebin.com/L9vsXNDc
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> !games | james__
[05:06] <Da_Rhyno> Jordan_U - thanks
[05:06] <james__> nibbles is the same thing as snake im looking 4 something that i can make the whole game
[05:06] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: You're welcome.
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> that wouyld be a 'programing language' :) to create a game with...
[05:07] <rs0832> james__, you want a gui to make the game?
[05:07] <Da_Rhyno> Huh... This is... a minor annoyance.
[05:07] <james__> but do i need any softwareoranything to create them
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> Lots of little games  written in python. Theres teh python game of the week site. with lots of examples,
[05:07] <Da_Rhyno> The partitions I got from Linux don't match the partition sizes listed in Windows.
[05:07] <cryptodira> worse than the resource errors outlined above, items on the menu bar disappear when clicked on and do not launch.... thoughts/solutions??
[05:08] <ch0ta> im getting an error on grub2 while trying to boot ubuntu
[05:08] <james__> so look at python stuff
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> Da_Rhyno:  could be ones using MiB vs MB. ie: 1000gb vs 1024 and so on.
[05:08] <ch0ta> it says i have to load the kernel
[05:08] <blob4000> hey, anyone here on an acer aspire one?
[05:08] <ch0ta> this happens right after backtrack installs
[05:08] <james__> my broinlaw said he thought there was a game creation software on umbuntu
[05:08] <rs0832> james__, pygame.org
[05:08] <Da_Rhyno> Yeah
[05:08] <rs0832> james__, but you still need to program
[05:09] <JackOfHearts> nvm pyqonsole worsk fine ty and ttyl pps
[05:09] <Da_Rhyno> 'cause the main drive is 172GB according to Windows, and the backup drive is 115GB
[05:09] <james__> so i can go to pygame.org
[05:09] <francisco> james_ if u are gamer u must switch to windows
[05:09] <francisco> is better for gaming
[05:09] <A[D]minS> Dears , if the sar average output for rxdrop/s is 1.60 , dose it mean i've a network issue?
[05:09] <Da_Rhyno> I'm guessing the main drive then is #3 and the backup is #4
[05:10] <james__> then whtas umbuntu 4?
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> !ubuntu
[05:10] <Da_Rhyno> Does that sound about right?
[05:13] <Da_Rhyno> Jordan_U - Partition 4 is the backup drive.
[05:13] <ambrosius> Dr_Willis: now you made him flee the channel ;-)
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> ambrosius:  darn! we all know ubuntu is teh 3 clicks and you got Portal5 written OS...
[05:13] <Da_Rhyno> So how could I change that from a primary, so that way I can install Ubuntu?
[05:13] <ambrosius> Dr_Willis: hehe
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> Da_Rhyno:  delete it and remake it as a extended. and put logicals in it.
[05:14] <Jordan_U> Da_Rhyno: Even if the windows terminalogy is "Drive letters" partitions are never "drives".
[05:14] <Matt_____> I need some help  with  getting my wireless adaptor to connect.  can anyone help?
[05:14] <Da_Rhyno> Jordan_U - my bad.
[05:15] <Da_Rhyno> Dr_Willis - As noobish as a question this may be, how do I do that?
[05:15] <Da_Rhyno> (I wasn't expecting to run into this much trouble trying to install Linux)
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> Da_Rhyno:  gparted or fdisk, just delete it.. then  make a new one..  of the type extended
[05:16] <KM0201> Matt_____: whats your wireless device?
[05:16] <blob4000> anyone else have an acer aspire one netbook running ubuntu?
[05:16] <Matt_____> linksys wusb54g
[05:16] <KM0201> me neither
[05:17] <Blue1> blob4000: I do
[05:17] <blob4000> Blue1,
[05:17] <blob4000> have you tried out the microphone input much?
[05:17] <Matt_____> km0201 it shows there is a network but ir will not connect to it.
[05:18] <KM0201> hmm
[05:18] <GeekSquid> blob4000: clue alsamixer
[05:18] <Blue1> blob4000: no I use a use headset.
[05:18] <KM0201> Matt_____: are you sure your router isn't locking you out for some reason? (mac filtering, etc.)
[05:19] <Matt_____> the direct connection works.  password and mac address are correct
[05:19] <Matt_____> I don't see any reason that it should not work
[05:19] <blob4000> thanks
[05:20] <KM0201> i dunno
[05:20] <GeekSquid> blob4000: is that what you needed?
[05:20] <aksh1> hi all, i am refering http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu to create a ubuntu 11.04 image for beagle using rootstock.can anyone tell me how to enable cache mechanism so that  for next build i can refer local packages
[05:20] <blob4000> not sure yet - going to test things out
[05:20] <lickalott> Matt_____ what have you tried so far?
[05:20] <GeekSquid> aksh1: 11.04 is not released and not stable ... take any questions to #ubuntu+1
[05:21] <aksh1> GeekSquid, thanks ok i will use 10.10
[05:21] <aksh1> in that case how to enable cache mechnism
[05:21] <Matt_____> I tried to update the driver and I am having trouble editing the config file as one web site suggested
[05:22] <Matt_____> all the tests for the configs show things are correct
[05:22] <UbuntuLily> Is there a terminal command to download a url and save it to a specified folder?  Ie:    wget http://www.google.com/mypic.jpg /home/pic/mypic.jpg?
[05:23] <UbuntuLily> lol,,,, it is wget isn't it
[05:23] <aksh1> UbuntuLily, yes use wget
[05:23] <james__> are there any gamecube emulators for umbunt
[05:23] <james__> u??
[05:23] <ambrosius> ubuntu not umbunu
[05:23] <KM0201> !illegal > james__
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> james__:  Yes i think thers 1 or 2 of them.
[05:23] <bluezonemobile> Probably not
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> no idea if they are in the repos or not.
[05:24] <fmn2010-ylmf> anyone has used Lubuntu?
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> fmn2010-ylmf:  lubuntu works decently well.
[05:24] <pocoyo> Dr_Willis: 在这里谈雨淋麻风的, 要被tjjtds lol  http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=267605 ;-)
[05:24] <bluezonemobile> Theorethically speaking they aren't illegal if u own the console and the games
[05:24] <fmn2010-ylmf> but i can't make work well
[05:24] <GeekSquid> UbuntuLily: cd into the directory where you want the file to go then run wget http://url/mypic.jpg
[05:24] <fmn2010-ylmf> u speak chinese?
[05:25] <GeekSquid> !cn | fmn2010-ylmf

[05:25] <bluezonemobile> But I never even found a good one for windows
[05:25] <KM0201> true.
[05:25] <rs0832> james__, i have heard of tuxcube and dolphin.. never used them though
[05:26] <rww> what is ylmf, anyway?
[05:26] <pocoyo> rww: 在这里谈雨淋麻风的, 要被tjjtds lol  http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=267605 ;-)
[05:26] <fmn2010-ylmf> it seems that Lubuntu dosen't support Chinese well
[05:26] <rww> pocoyo: turn that off.
[05:26] <fmn2010-ylmf> ylmf is good
[05:26] <pocoyo> fmn2010-ylmf: 在这里谈雨淋麻风的, 要被tjjtds lol  http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=267605 ;-)

[05:30] <snake> where is xorg.conf?
[05:30] <rs0832> snake, you have to create it,... there are a few howtos for this on the net
[05:30] <seancron> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:31] <GeekSquid> snake: depricated
[05:31] <snake> rs0832, so if I only have one thing to put in it, I just make it?
[05:31] <snake> -_-
[05:31] <snake> GeekSquid, whats wrong with it?
[05:31] <blob4000> thanks for the help. the mic boost kept getting turned all the way up by skype. problem wasn't alsa :)
[05:32] <blob4000> i'm very happy with ubuntu, by the way :P
[05:32] <snake> ubottu, !depricated
[05:32] <GeekSquid> snake: it has been depricated by Xorg, nothing wrong, and yes it will still override the automatic config, but like I said it is no longer the standard way of doing things
[05:32] <snake> oh mmkay
[05:32] <rww> deprecated ;P
[05:32] <GeekSquid> rww: pardon my typo
[05:34] <snake> now that I made that file with my own setting, do I have to restart x?
[05:34] <rww> !ping
[05:34] <luisduque440> ?¡?¡

[05:35] <GeekSquid> that is the one I wanted
[05:35] <snake> cool
[05:35] <rww> !throw me a test
[05:35] <rww> !give me a test
[05:35]  * robinbowes gives me Kylie Minogue
[05:35] <rww> This concludes the rww-testing-for-bots portion of this test. We now return you to your original programming.
[05:35]  * GeekSquid runs an fsck on rww
[05:35] <rww> robinbowes: Turn that off, please.
[05:37] <Stevezau> ahh found it.. gnome-settings-daemon keeps creating the .pulse folder
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> exit
[05:37] <UBUxUBU> it appears that ubuntu cannot read files saved in a fat16 thunm drive, has anyone tried this?
[05:37] <UBUxUBU> thumb*
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> UBUxUBU:  it should be able to read fat16 just fine
[05:38] <UBUxUBU> hmmm gettign error message
[05:38] <rs0832> UBUxUBU, it reads fat16 fine from an hd
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> and the message is?
[05:38] <UBUxUBU> unreadable
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> how are you mounting it?
[05:38] <UBUxUBU> i plug it in and it shows as mounted already
[05:39] <UBUxUBU> cos the only option is unmount
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> try accessing it from the command line, check fdisk -l output also.,  try accessing it as root user.
[05:41] <UBUxUBU> file is an unknown type
[05:41] <GeekSquid> UBUxUBU: filetype? what is it?
[05:41] <UBUxUBU> it thinks the files i a shortcut
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> UBUxUBU:  be more clear in exactly what youa re doing.
[05:42] <TroN-0074> o.k. got kde working thank you all
[05:42] <pw-toxic> hi, i have an issue with backintime .. im making hourly backups of my important file.. since i'm a web developer using php I have to deal with a LOT of files
[05:42] <pw-toxic> each backup has probably about 250 000 files
[05:42] <pw-toxic> when i want to delete the backups of one day (24 hourly backup) thd deleting process takes VERY long.. can i speed this up?
[05:42] <snake> Yeah that file kinda made my xserver not want to start.
[05:43] <pw-toxic> im using the command rm -r 20101002
[05:43] <UBUxUBU> it stick flash drive in usb port, i see the windows pop up showing the files, i clcik on the files to read them, then i get the message unknown file -shortcut
[05:43] <UBUxUBU> unknown file type
[05:43] <UBUxUBU> it thinks the files is a shortcut
[05:43] <Ichi`> I have a question, im running ubuntu server 10.04, I cant seem to get openssh server
[05:43] <Ichi`>                to log at all (trying to get a fail2ban setup), I have the settings in sshd_config set
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> UBUxUBU:  you have a file named '-shortcut' ?
[05:43] <Ichi`>                to SyslogFacility AUTH and LogLevel VERBOSE, but nothing is being logged to
[05:43] <Ichi`>                /var/log/auth.log
[05:44] <Ichi`> Shit, sorry for the paste messup
[05:44] <FloodBot1> Ichi`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:44] <h00k> Ichi`: please watch the language as well
[05:44] <UBUxUBU> no my buddy does, he gave me this thumb drive to figure out why he cant get at his files
[05:44] <rs0832> UBUxUBU, what was _supposed to be on the drive?
[05:44] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: unfortuneately no, I'm thinking you should tar the thing as a backup, then you only have to delete one file per 24hour period
[05:44] <juk> hi, is there any rules on how big should be change to release software update? or it's just up to maintainer?
[05:44] <UBUxUBU> some chart my buddy keeps on some of his home issues
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> UBUxUBU:  files that begin with a - in the name can cause issues.
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> at the start of the name at least
[05:45] <Jeff72834> installed microsoft streets and trips on virtural box windows xp os but gps usb reciever not recognized anyone have any idea on this problem?
[05:45] <Ichi`> Okay. Well does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? the VPS's ubu server install was minimal,but i mean ssh is running fine apart from the logging problem
[05:45] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, how can i tell backintime to make tars?
[05:45] <UBUxUBU> i think he copied a shortcut on a windows computer instead of doin a proper file transfer
[05:45] <Jeff72834> installed microsoft streets and trips on virtural box windows xp os but gps usb reciever not recognized anyone have any idea on this problem?
[05:46] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, oh i think this one wont work because it is making inkremental backups with hardlinks.. and this wont work with tars
[05:46] <jynks> Hey guys
[05:46] <UBUxUBU> i see 3306-39f3-files browser listed also
[05:46] <rww> Jeff72834: The version of Virtualbox in Ubuntu's repositories doesn't support USB peripherals. You'd need to get the full version ("VirtualBox Extension Pack" from http://virtualbox.org.
[05:46] <keith-> ok so i got ubuntu installed on my laptop. however, i had issue with the live disk freezing up and now it locks up even faster with the actual install. almost as soon as i log in it locks up
[05:46] <jynks> gpot a fresh install of xubuntu but i get no sound from the HDMI cable
[05:46] <keith-> at first i thought it was my video locking ubuntu up, but i went into recovery mode with failsafe graphics and it still happened. any suggestions? it completely locks up. no mouse movement nothing. sometimes the screen just goes purple with what looks like pinstripes
[05:46] <GeekSquid> juk: usually up to the maintainer - ubuntu's policy is critical (as in security related) first, then bugs, which get pushed to proposed-updates
[05:46] <jynks> dosn't anyone have any idea
[05:46] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, im deleting backups of one day for 45 minutes now and i have left 70 more days to delete... ;/ this looks to be a task for several weeks just to delete something..
[05:47] <jynks> I have followed a few threads about pulse audio and alsamixder but i still can not seam to get it to work
[05:47] <UBUxUBU> ill bet this zipperhead dragged his desktop icon into this thumb drive instead of dragging the files themselves
[05:47] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: must be one heck of an application/ data-store
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> UBUxUBU:  check the size of the file.
[05:48] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: seems like using a diff based backup might better than backing up the whole thing everyday
[05:48] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, well i have a lot of webpages and all of them use Zend Framework.. one website has about 17k files ;))
[05:48] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, i back up every hour ;))
[05:48] <r00t4rd3d> what font and size do you guys use for xchat ?
[05:48] <UBUxUBU> propertied say it had nothing on it
[05:48] <UBUxUBU> properties
[05:48] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: is there that much change from hour to hour
[05:48] <Ichi`> I have a question, im running ubuntu server 10.04, I cant seem to get openssh server to log (I have SyslogFacility AUTH and LogLevel VERBOSE, but when i login to ssh i dont get anytihng logged to /var/log/auth.log
[05:48] <ambrosius> r00t4rd3d: 8
[05:48] <ambrosius> or 9
[05:48] <jynks> sorry this is ubuntu chat i meant xubuntu sorry
[05:49] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, no but when i work and i accidently delete something or do something wrong, i know i have an backup i can use
[05:49] <xnixan> Hi, is there any command line tool to reduce image size?
[05:49]  * skraito say hi all
[05:49] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: and how much space is your 250k files taking up?
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> xnixan:  the imagemagik package has such tools
[05:50] <UBUxUBU> i think this brainiac buddy of mine tried to click and drag a desktop icon to a flash drive cos ubuntu says there is nothing on it
[05:50] <xnixan> Dr_Willis, i will check it, thanks!
[05:50] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, hm not that much.. maybve 300MB or something?
[05:50] <juk> GeekSquid: i see
[05:51] <Jeff72834> i have an error while extracting virtual box extensions just gives me an error occured while extracting files
[05:51] <ambrosius> pw-toxic: then reiser-fs may be a good filesystem for you. should be faster that ext4 with so many files
[05:51] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: recommend making 2 copies, 1 testing, 1 live, make changes to the testing version revert to live when you f-up
[05:51] <pw-toxic> ambrosius looks like i need to reorganize everything i have done so far ;)
[05:52] <Jeff72834> i have an error while extracting virtual box extensions just gives me an error occured while extracting files
[05:52] <ambrosius> pw-toxic: you are developing on a linux box? most web guys have a mac
[05:53] <pw-toxic> ambrosius, i'm developing on windows using eclipse writing my files via samba on my ubuntu file server ;)
[05:53] <GeekSquid> Jeff72834: please take your question to #vbox ... a little better suited to that channel
[05:53] <ambrosius> pw-toxic: oh i see
[05:53] <francisco> oigan
[05:53] <francisco> alguien sabe como mandar pidgin a systray cuando le doy en cerrar?
[05:53] <GeekSquid> !es | francisco
[05:54] <francisco> somebody knows how to send pidgin to systray?
[05:54] <pw-toxic> ambrosius, i hav 4 monitors in front of me using two different garphic cards (ATI and NVIDIA). This seems to be complicated with ubuntu ;)
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> !info alltray
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> francisco:  may be a plugin for that . or try alltray
[05:54] <pw-toxic> ambrosius, anyways i watch original Blu-Rays on my computer.. so ubuntu fails on that one too ;(
[05:54] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: did you see my last post to you?
[05:55] <ambrosius> pw-toxic: haven't tried with more than one monitor yet
[05:55] <francisco> pw-toxic why to watch bluray on monitor
[05:55] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, i do this anyways! but when i do something wrong in testing and i want a previous verison i can just use it
[05:55] <pw-toxic> francisco, i have 37" full hd monitor on my computer ;)
[05:56] <francisco> omg
[05:56] <francisco> u are rich
[05:56] <pw-toxic> francisco, why rich? it only costs 500€
[05:56] <rww> fnord fnord ylmf fnord
[05:56] <jbrouhard> Just need to confirm something.. Ubuntu 10.10 still usess metacity right ?
[05:56] <pw-toxic> francisco, my eizo 22" costs more..
[05:56] <jbrouhard> or is it GTK 2.x ?
[05:56] <francisco> but u has 4 monitors
[05:56] <pw-toxic> francisco, 2*22";  1*19"; 1*37"
[05:57] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: i can see a script being written that takes the latest backup and tar's it and deletes the original files, could be run as a cron script
[05:57] <francisco> pw-toxic looks like u know averything aabout monitors
[05:57] <francisco> how to reppair pixewls?
[05:58] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, well hourly backups work great for me using backintime.. the problem is: i had disabled the "smart remove" option of backintime and now i have hourly backups for the last 3 months... if I enable smart remove of backintime, backintime is stuck to do the smartremove.. it has been doing the smart remove for 2 days now... then i interrupted it manually
[05:58] <pw-toxic> francisco, why should i know everyhting about monitors if i have 4 of them?!
[05:59] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: another thing (this is taught at the university level) every time you are about to change a file you rename the old file before editing
[05:59] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, thats not useable.. i want to have it simple ;))
[05:59] <francisco> waspw-toxic  was just a felling :D
[05:59] <pw-toxic> well .. simplicity is also on a university level ;)
[05:59] <jchvelasco> i still can't get pass through 'unable to find a medium containing a live file system'
[06:00] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic:  nothing simple about a university
[06:00] <pw-toxic> oh my fucking good.. rm -r 20101018* is stil running..
[06:00] <snake> Is there a channel like this for french?
[06:00] <pw-toxic> for an hour or so
[06:00] <rww> snake: #ubuntu-fr
[06:00] <snake> pw-toxic, try rm -rf
[06:01] <snake> speedy.
[06:01] <ambrosius> is "backintime" something like a Apple Timemachine clone?
[06:01] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: I have programmers who work for me who rename files and put daily changes in a folder religously
[06:01] <francisco> rm -rf is to erase a place with root prior
[06:01] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, maybe you should tell them to use SVN?!
[06:01] <snake> francisco, i thought it forced it to delete right then and there.
[06:02] <snake> francisco, and wasn't deleted but made unaccessible until it was overwritten, or recovered by a utility such as testdisk/
[06:02] <john__> .net
[06:02] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: and some of my guys are very secretive until they release to the SVN/bazaar, I allow that, because I pay for completed work not for incomplete mumbojumbo that doesn't fit into the downstream application
[06:03] <francisco> well
[06:03] <francisco> login as root and delete it
[06:03] <pw-toxic> francisco, im always root ;)
[06:03] <francisco> sudo -s
[06:03] <francisco> then rm -R /place
[06:03] <pw-toxic> francisco, i did...
[06:04] <GeekSquid> pw-toxic: you know what they say "if you arn't root then you'll never learn anything"
[06:04] <pw-toxic> francisco, but it has to test each file if there are still other files hard linking to this file.. for each of the 250k * 24 files
[06:04] <pw-toxic> thats about 5 million files to check ;)
[06:05] <francisco> well
[06:05] <francisco> maybe u can use chmod 755
[06:06] <pw-toxic> francisco, what for?
[06:06] <melvinram> lol my irc client (cooloquy) just made a bomb explosion sound when ccvp got banned
[06:06] <KM0201> lol
[06:06] <snake> melvinram, did it scare the crap outta ya?
[06:06] <francisco> i don'tknow
[06:07] <francisco> maybe u can acces that way
[06:07] <francisco> :D
[06:07] <KM0201> i remember ccvp... i never remember him doing anything incredibly stupid.
[06:07] <KM0201> must have really goofed it one day
[06:07] <melvinram> snake: not really but it was kind of funny
[06:07] <pw-toxic> francisco, i can access the files.. it just takes hours ;)
[06:07] <snake> wearing headphones with you volume all the way up unknowingly. BOOM! wtf?!!
[06:07] <KM0201> lol
[06:07] <snake> that would happen to me.
[06:08] <melvinram> snake: exactly
[06:08] <francisco> pw-toxic that's why I bought external hd
[06:08] <francisco> is very useful
[06:08] <pw-toxic> francisco, what do external HD help with this? i have several external HD
[06:08] <francisco> well
[06:08] <pw-toxic> they are for backups as well but on a different level
[06:08] <snake> francisco, yeah if you wanna delete a file real fast you just smash it with a hammer and buy a new one.
[06:08] <francisco> I'm confused about ur trouble
[06:09] <snake> francisco, he wants the file to go away faster.
[06:09] <m310> melvinram: why are u using colloquy on a ubuntu chan?
[06:09] <snake> pw-toxic, do ctrl-c, then rm -rf /path/file
[06:09] <pw-toxic> francisco, my trouble is the following: i want to activate "smart remove" of backintime.. but when i activate it, it will probably take weeks to delete the old files via backintime and for all of these days, no backups are made
[06:09] <snake> pw-toxic, nvm
[06:10] <snake> pw-toxic, forget what i said lol.
[06:10] <snake> FL-student, u use fl studio?
[06:10] <pw-toxic> snake yeah thats eactly what im trying to do :D
[06:10] <FL-student> snake: a lil
[06:10] <pw-toxic> snake im on "rm -r 20101018*" for about an hour ;)
[06:10] <snake> pw-toxic, wow..
[06:10] <pw-toxic> and i have 70 days left to remove :D
[06:10] <francisco> pw-toxic keep oon it
[06:11] <francisco> linux can do almost everything
[06:11] <snake> GASP
[06:11] <francisco> ;D
[06:11] <pw-toxic> IT FINISHED
[06:11] <pw-toxic> !!!!!!

[06:13] <pw-toxic> can you tell me how i can delete several folders?  something like rm -r 201010{1-29} so i leave out one backup for the month?
[06:13] <snake> francisco, are you sure it's an iPod? from apple computers inc
[06:13] <GeekSquid> snake: what did I do?
[06:13] <francisco> yes
[06:13] <francisco> it is
[06:13] <francisco> so
[06:14] <ghost_> it  does not work
[06:14] <francisco> well
[06:14] <francisco> ubuntu 10.04
[06:14] <snake> GeekSquid, Amarok is real good with ipods, thanks for enlightening me.
[06:14] <GeekSquid> !work
[06:14] <francisco> rythimbox from repos
[06:14] <francisco> does it for me
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic:  i think bash supports some syntax similer to that. but id be carefull with it.
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. I fit that definiton of 'Dosent Work'
[06:15] <francisco> !im god
[06:15] <snake> francisco, Woohoo, I do love fiction, but I find the reference section a much more enlightening!
[06:15] <GeekSquid> Dr_Willis: no offense intended of course
[06:16] <melvinram> m310: I prefer OSX for desktop
[06:17] <m310> melvinram: I am kidding with u. I am on a macbook pro myself.
[06:17] <m310> What are you using?
[06:20] <tr3nton> !if
[06:20] <tr3nton> !ifup
[06:20] <FL-student> guys help me out, how do merge 2 hd? i can se hda and hdb. i'd like a hda only. i.e merge them 2gether
[06:20] <tr3nton> !network
[06:21] <FL-student> !topic
[06:21] <tr3nton> !interface
[06:21] <GeekSquid> !msgthebot
[06:24] <GeekSquid> FL-student: hda and hdb are physical harddrives, if they are sata you can run a software raid, which is beyond the scope of the help you can get here, however, I realize you are attempting to have your filesystem distributed among 2 drives... you could have / on one and /home on the other... with a few more details from you I can point you in the right direction
[06:24] <indystorm> hey everyone!
[06:24] <GeekSquid> FL-student: /topic will show you the channel topic
[06:24] <GeekSquid> indystorm: good evening
[06:25] <captdigger> .
[06:25] <tr3nton> what comman does network manager applet use to bring up an interface?... it doesn't seem to require the user password (elevated priv's) to bring up the inderface.. Trying to find the command to enable eth0 interface without requiring user to enter their password
[06:26] <neiz> How would one begin to port windows drivers to a linux one? Anyone have any clue where to begin?
[06:26] <GeekSquid> neiz: what are you trying to get to work?
[06:27] <keith-> ok so if i go into the failsafe terminal prompt, i can use ubuntu and it not lock up. if i go into desktop or unity netbook it locks up almost immediately... i can't find anythign odd in the logs either... but a suggestion of a place to look would be good
[06:27] <FL-student> GeekSquid: if i.e not achievable because they are physical hd, will appreciate pointers.
[06:27] <hasibullah> sallam dear all friends
[06:27] <GeekSquid> FL-student: what size are the 2 drives?
[06:27] <neiz> GeekSquid: I bought a razer orochi mouse.  It works both linux/windows, but in windows exists a software driver which allows you to turn on led lights, which does not work for linux/ubuntu
[06:28] <hasibullah> i can not connect dialup connections please show me a way
[06:29] <FL-student> GeekSquid: 8GB and 20GB
[06:29] <FL-student> added 20GB
[06:29] <FL-student> GeeSquid: hda - 8gb, hdb - 20GB
[06:29] <hasibullah> how to connect dialup connections
[06:29] <GeekSquid> FL-student: see this http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[06:31] <GeekSquid> hasibullah: wvdial is the application you will need to install to dial out, you will need to look at the manual after you install by typing "man wvdial" and setup wvdial.conf in your etc folder
[06:32] <GeekSquid> neiz: not really driver related, probably just a switch, although beyond my scope of knowlege
[06:33] <raisa> jöbvcnmnmklmhgvdedeeevbnmjhasiiiytyuiopåäghyuiopåxxxnbbnjköop
[06:33] <GeekSquid> raisa: ??? your language please?
[06:33] <raisa> geeksquid: sorry, me four year old boy started xchat and wrote that
[06:34] <raisa> me = my... sorry
[06:34] <Blue1> raisa: my cat knows how to send email
[06:34] <GeekSquid> raisa: no problem, Is there anything we can help you with this evening?
[06:34] <Gnea> !dialup | hasibullah
[06:34] <keith-> anyone seen my problem at all?
[06:35] <Gnea> keith-: no, just ask it again
[06:35] <raisa> jhgffsdmnjkk
[06:36] <taha> Can i change shortcuts keys for opening and closing nodes in tree widget of gtk? (eg tree view of nautilus). I want right key opens the node and left key close it.
[06:36] <GeekSquid> keith-: sorry, I saw it, and I pushed it aside, ... I was helping others.... seems like you have some incompatibility going on... Would you give me the Make/model of your machine
[06:36] <cctx005> Hey everyone....i have an issue with my repo sources...
[06:37] <GeekSquid> cctx005: details please?
[06:37] <Fluffnplum> soi am currently installing 10.10 on my laptop but it is stuck and keeps reading "ubuntu kernel: (11702.152104) intel ips 0000:00: lf.6: CPU poer or thermal limit exceeded" the numbers in parenthasese keep going up. should i just keep waiting or type somethign it?
[06:38] <Blue1> Fluffnplum: elementary but did you md5sum check your download?
[06:39] <GeekSquid> Fluffnplum: seems like a bad iso.... try downloading again and md5sum if possible to verify integrity of the iso
[06:39] <Fluffnplum> no i have not
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> Fluffnplum:  i see a similer message on my intel based machine - while its running. so thats proberly not the reason for teh thing to be stuck.
[06:39] <ubuntu_> Hello. If I install ubuntu using the windows installer, will it create a seperate partition for ubuntu?
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu_:  no - it installs to a file.
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> !wubi
[06:39] <cctx005> when I run update manager...it says "an unresolvable problem ocurred while initializing the package info...'E:type' .net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tualatrix-ppa--marerick.list'
[06:39] <Heet> Dr_Willis: Do I choose to boot from it at startup? And does it use grub?
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Heet:  i dont reccomend useing wubi at all.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Heet:  it add an entry to the windows bootloader menus I think
[06:40] <GeekSquid> Dr_Willis: he left
[06:40] <Heet> Dr_Willis: Well, I have currently 4 partitions on my machine. sda1,2,3,4. The OS is 3, and it is the only one I can shrink.
[06:40] <Heet> or use the rest for ubuntu on.
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> id use ubuntu in virtualbox. befor id use it in wubi. :)
[06:41] <Heet> Dr_Willis: Should I move partitions to make room for it at the end of the disk, or is it ok to install it in the middle?
[06:41] <cctx005> when i open up Synpatic Package Manager, I got the same sort of error
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> Heet:  it can go in the middle.
[06:41] <cctx005> same thing in the terminal when I ran sudo apt-get update
[06:41] <GeekSquid> cctx005: remove the ppa, seems it is causing problems
[06:41] <Heet> Dr_Willis: When i try to shrink it, it doesn't work.
[06:41] <cctx005> how do you remove the ppa via the terminal?
[06:41] <Heet> It gets to the actual resizing, and it breaks. Ideas
[06:42] <Heet> ?*
[06:42] <cctx005> that seems to be the only way i can
[06:42] <cctx005> without an error
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> Heet:  you can only have 4 primaries max. You could delete the thing I guess.. depends on the details
[06:42] <Heet> Dr_Willis: Won't Ubuntu work as a logical?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> Heet:  yes it can work as a logical.
[06:42] <Heet> And I'm not even making it a primary. I'm just making it unallocated data.
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> but you will want 2 partitions for uibuntu, a / and a swap
[06:42] <GeekSquid> cctx005: sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tualatrix-ppa--maverick.list
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> 4 primaries max. one of those can be an exteded with logicals in it.
[06:43] <Heet> Dr_Willis: Won't / and swap both not be primaries? And does that even matter if my problem is shrinking the partition?
[06:43] <GeekSquid> cctx005: then sudo apt-get update
[06:45] <pw-toxic> GeekSquid, im currently testing how big my  folder is i do backups of... still working, but im at 600 000 files with 60GB in total ;)
[06:45] <Heet> Dr_Willis: Haha, apparently dells have a partition called MEDIADIRECT so you can access media without loading an OS kernel.
[06:45] <Heet> I guess I'll just kill that. Ubuntu will end up to be the last partition.
[06:46] <indystorm> blah dell.... build your own pc.... :)
[06:46] <Heet> indystorm: This is my sister's machine
[06:46] <Stevezau> anyone know how to configure how gnome-settings-daemon works
[06:46] <keith-> hey what's the command to bring up the restricted drivers program?
[06:47] <aeturnus> hello everyone :)
[06:48] <GeekSquid> aeturnus: good evening, is there something we can help you with?
[06:48] <GeekSquid> keith-: jockey-gtk
[06:48] <aeturnus> i have an 8.04LTS install of Ubuntu that appears to no longer be receiving updates
[06:48] <aeturnus> is there something i can do to remedy that? it's my understanding that this version is still supported
[06:49] <GeekSquid> aeturnus: seems strange, still supported till april... hmmm, what kind of error message are you getting
[06:49] <soreau> keith-: jockey-gtk
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> !8.04
[06:49] <aeturnus> GeekSquid, no error messages, just old packages.
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> !hardy
[06:49] <soreau> aeturnus: What package is old?
[06:50] <GeekSquid> aeturnus: there haven't been a lot of updates to hardy lately... as we are coming close to EOL
[06:50] <GeekSquid> aeturnus: so an sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade shows nothing to upgrade
[06:51] <aeturnus> so the  2.6.24-28 is the latest for 8.04?
[06:51] <aeturnus> kernel, that is
[06:51] <GeekSquid> aeturnus: that's right
[06:51] <jyrus> whats the /msg for nickserv
[06:51] <jyrus> !nickserv
[06:51] <em> anyone know of a good alarm clock i could install on ubuntu?
[06:51] <GeekSquid> jyrus: /nickserv
[06:51] <aeturnus> that's terrible news, thank you for your help though!
[06:52] <jyrus> I'm trying to get it to identify and password
[06:52] <GeekSquid> em: the package alarm-clock is a gtk based application that should do everything you need
[06:52] <GeekSquid> !register | jyrus read this
[06:54] <GeekSquid> aeturnus: actually that's great news, it means that 8.04 LTS has reached its most secure and most mature state, couldnm
[06:54] <GeekSquid> t get any better
[06:55] <cctx005> i ran those codes...now I'm getting the following error when I try to scan for updates
[06:55] <cctx005> 'E:type'.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tualatrix-ppa-maverick.list'
[06:56] <aeturnus> GeekSquid, i think i probably disagree-- there have been a few public kernel exploits that work for kernels < 2.6.36
[06:56] <em> GeekSquid: this does look pretty good thanks.
[06:56] <em> GeekSquid: I hope it will be loud enough.
[06:57] <cctx005> I opened the actual sources.list file..which took me to the Software Sources menu...i can't find tualatrix on the sources list...yet i'm still getting the error
[06:57] <GeekSquid> cctx005: seems there were 2 entries for that ppa ... do the rm -rf on that file
[06:57] <FL-student> i do this command regularly, where do i add to startup file?
[06:57] <FL-student> what is the equivalent of startup?
[06:57] <cctx005> geeksquid- what's the full command? Sorry, I'm brand new to Linux
[06:58] <aashu_dwivedi> how can i get the list of selected songs in Rhythmbox using python ? is it the correct place to ask this question :P
[06:58] <GeekSquid> cctx005: sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tualatrix-ppa-maverick.list
[06:59] <GeekSquid> aashu_dwivedi: not sure, what are you trying to do, exactly?
[06:59] <skypent> What is the "-rf" after the rm
[06:59] <HeTaL__> recursive and folder, I think.
[06:59] <HeTaL__> so it will delete that whole tree.
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> for juat a file -rf isent needed
[06:59] <skypent> oh
[06:59] <GeekSquid> Dr_Willis: is right
[07:00] <cctx005> thanks!
[07:00] <cctx005> it finally works
[07:00] <GeekSquid> cctx005: yay
[07:00] <mmancuso> exit
[07:00] <cctx005> hopefully one day I'll actually known the commands
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> sources.list is proberly best left untouched. addational repos get added to each file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ dir
[07:02] <GeekSquid> cctx005: one day I'll actually know all the commands, we are talking 10 to the zillionth power here
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> learn the core commands.. thats not too hard
[07:02] <GeekSquid> right
[07:03] <aashu_dwivedi> GeekSuid : i am trying to create a small plugin ,
[07:03] <karthick87> Is there any command to check available GPG keys ??

[07:04] <arvut> hi again.. what do I do when ubuntu says "target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init."? i just reinstalled grub on sdb and got the list to work, <IP_ADDRESS>-generic 10.10 fails :(
[07:04] <GeekSquid> aashu_dwivedi: to do exactly what
[07:05] <GeekSquid> karthick87: you can look in /home/username/.gnupg
[07:06] <Dr_Willis>  arvut  almost sounds like the file /sbin/init is missing.
[07:06] <aashu_dwivedi> GeekSquid : get the path of selected songs and copy them to the Gnome clilpboard so that they can be copied easly
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> or the 'root' setting in the boot/grub is wronmg
[07:06] <karthick87> Geeksquid: I want to check whether the key is in use or not..Any command for checking that?
[07:07] <Guest73997> Hi, can someone help me pls??   I've just tried to update to 10.10 and its updated to 11.04 and I've lost "Software Sources" from the Administration menu.. feel free to open a private message
[07:07] <aashu_dwivedi> GeekSquid : *pasted easly*

[07:09] <GeekSquid> aashu_dwivedi: gpg --list-keys gpg --list-public-keys and gpg --list-private-keys
[07:09] <rww> Guest73997: what's the output of lsb_release -r?
[07:09] <Dcite> Guest73997: If you can run Synaptic, you can still access software sources from within that app I think.
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> or you can always manager the sources wuith other tools, or by hand
[07:09] <Guest73997> ok
[07:10] <FL-student> can someone post an example line of rc.local?
[07:10] <FL-student> can someone post an example line in rc.local?
[07:10] <GeekSquid> karthick87: see my post to aashu_dwivedi
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> FL-student:  --->>. somecommandto run &
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> FL-student:  ie:  -->   echo hello &
[07:11] <Guest73997> lsb_release -r = 10.10
[07:11] <rww> Guest73997: then you're using 10.10.
[07:11] <Guest73997> ok cool
[07:11] <aashu_dwivedi> @GeekSquid i too din understand what are u trying to say , how is that realated to rhythmbox / python .
[07:11] <FL-student> Dr_Willis: how about run level?
[07:11] <aashu_dwivedi> GeekSquid: i too din understand what are u trying to say , how is that realated to rhythmbox / python .
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> !runlevels | FL-student
[07:12] <GeekSquid> aashu_dwivedi: me being a squid, my hand was in the wrong place that was for karthick87 ... as for you idk, it is getting late and I am about to crash
[07:12] <aurilliance> Is there some way I can tell what version of dvd-slideshow is in the apt-repositories? apt-cache version dvd-slideshow or something??
[07:12] <FL-student> Dr_Willis: that's very helpful
[07:13] <xTheGoat121x> How do I start Ubuntu from the CLI?
[07:13] <arvut> Dr_Willis: you are my savior =) where do i go from here?
[07:13] <aashu_dwivedi> @GeekSquid okay whatever .
[07:13] <rww> aurilliance: apt-cache policy, not apt-cache version
[07:13] <rww> or,
[07:13] <rww> !info dvd-slideshow
[07:13] <aurilliance> rww, thanks for that! exactly what I needed :)
[07:14] <arvut> "mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or dir.."

[07:15] <varunarang> Hi, recently I tried an upgrate from 9.04 to 9.10 and my system is a mess, I really don't' know what to do with it as it's got lots of settings which will take so much time. Can anyone point me in right direction for setting things up.  My system is only booting in CLI
[07:18] <nit-wit> varunarang, can you just back up what you need and install a more up to date distro 9.10 is end of life in April even if you got it running, (.04 already was may be part of the problem
[07:18] <nit-wit> *9.04
[07:19] <varunarang> yes, I guess I can give that a try. b/w that should be possible from the shell itself.
[07:19] <Tally> Dual booting ubuntu with Windows XP.. after installation i cant boot into Windows. Just a blinking cursor. What shall I do... Windows XP is in the grub menu.. all I get is a blinking cursor
[07:20] <Tally> http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector looks helpful after googling i'll look at this
[07:20] <arvut> tally: bootproblems are fantastic :/
[07:21] <Tally> Highlight of my day
[07:21] <varunarang> @nit-wit Thanks
[07:22] <nit-wit> varunarang, you should be able to back up through a live cd or thumb
[07:22] <gdoteof_home> hi please help me turn off my touchpad.  lucid on a t410 laptop.
[07:22] <gdoteof_home> gpointingsettings shows my touchpad as off
[07:23] <gdoteof_home> i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad/PreMaverick
[07:23] <goddard> any thing like wampserver for ubuntu?
[07:24] <gdoteof_home> my touchpad is so over reactive on top of everything else
[07:24] <arvut> looks like im getting closer to the yearly reinstall.. maybe I'll try the terminalbased install this time..
[07:24] <gdoteof_home> if i float my finger over it just right the pointer spazzes out
[07:24] <rs0832> goddard, like xampp ?
[07:24] <keith-> for some reason unity is no longer showing up when i login. i finally got it to not lock up, but i can only go into desktop mode. i want netbook mode. also, if i run unity from desktop mode nothing comes up
[07:24] <goddard> rs0832 nah like WampServer its similar to xampp except the key feature is you can easily switch between php versions
[07:25] <keith-> wait... i just got a segfault from unity that i ran in desktop mode
[07:25] <rs0832> goddard, ah ok
[07:27]  * arvut i hate myself for failing at which im best at; repairing pc's :( how do i make it run again? it doesnt mount /sys anymore and kernel panics :/
[07:28] <gusg> on 10.10x64 by default it appears that Firefox isn't handling JNLP files. anything special I need to do? Do I need to install the Sun JRE or can I use OpenJDK ?
[07:28] <gdoteof_home> arvut if you tell me how to get my touchpad to stop working in a way that doesn't require tools I will send a magical anti-fail spell
[07:28] <rs0832> goddard, i only know of xampp, but if you want something that will give you a gui to select your php version and scripts and stuff, cherokee server comes with all that stuff, including python wsgi, etc
[07:29] <rs0832> goddard, for screenshots: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=cherokee%20admin&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
[07:29] <Guest73997> I've lost "software sources" from the administration menu, is there a way to get it back or is it obselete now?
[07:29] <hostile_^> 8 -r-sr-x--- 1 level2 level1 7500 2007-11-16 17:42 level01
[07:29] <hostile_^> how would i run that?
[07:30] <arvut> atleast windows still boots.. so now I'll retire to bed with some more star trek and trance. thid problemsolving will have to continue tomorrow..
[07:30] <GeekSquid> goddard: lamp-server provides the same functionality as wamp, and xampp, yet native in its environment, perhaps if you describe what i you are trying to do, we can point you in the right direction
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> Guest73997:  perhaps install synaptic, and access it fromt there. I dont see it in the menus here either
[07:30] <rs0832> Guest73997, try creating a shortcut to: gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
[07:30] <rww> Guest73997: the canonical way to get to it is through the menus of Synaptic Package Manager or Software Centre. You can unhide the Software Sources icon itself by right-clicking the menu applet in the panel and clicking Edit Menus.
[07:30] <goddard> rs0832 oh sweet this might be what i need
[07:31] <rs0832> goddard, :) hope so
[07:31] <Guest73997> ok thanks!!
[07:31] <arvut> gdoteof_home: sorry, no can do. and unless it comes with a 100% warranty then im not interested :(
[07:31] <hostile_^> could somebody help me with somthing real quick?
[07:32] <GeekSquid> !ask | hostile_^
[07:32] <Tally> Still get a blinking corner on the top left corner when I try to boot Windows XP.
[07:32] <GeekSquid> Tally: sounds like a chainloader situation... look it up
[07:32] <keith-> wait... i just got a segfault from unity that i ran in desktop mode
[07:33] <keith-> anyone know of a reason or a way to figure out why unity is segfaulting?
[07:33] <hostile_^> 8 -r-sr-x--- 1 level2 level1 7500 2007-11-16 17:42 level01               how would i run that?
[07:33] <keith-> can it run when i have normal gnome running?
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> Tally:  #windows may have some sugestions also.
[07:33] <gdoteof_home> arvut: it comes with %100 warranty, obviously
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> keith-:  not at teh same time i think..
[07:33] <gdoteof_home> honestly.  my laptop is almost unusable
[07:33] <GeekSquid> keith-: perhaps reinstall the unity binarys, seems like something is corrupted
[07:34] <keith-> GeekSquid: what packages? i just installed the netbook release
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> keith-:  normally one selexts a normal gnome desktop, or the netbook itnerface at the login screen.
[07:35] <keith-> Dr_Willis: yeah if i choose the netbook interface nothing comes up. i just get a wallpaper and a mouse
[07:35] <GeekSquid> hostile_^: Not sure what you are trying to run,,, describe please
[07:37] <keith-> could i reinstall ubuntu-netbook-default-settings or is that a meta package that won't make any changes?
[07:37] <hostile_^> geeksquid: im trying to access this but im not sure what command to use
[07:37] <gusg> I just installed sun-java6-bin package. where is the jre home directory?
[07:37] <GeekSquid> hostile_^: what is it?
[07:37] <gdoteof_home> do i need to restart my computer, or just the x-server after uninstalling xserver-input-synaptics
[07:39] <keith-> well i'll give it another go brb
[07:40] <hostile_^> GeekSquid: to be honest with u im not really sure its for that smashthestack game i means its level 1 and im stuck
[07:41] <daniellopezific> I currently am running ubuntu only right now, i want to dual boot ubuntu and windows xp for photoshop (tried virtual machines, and wine is just ghetto) am i correct in assuming that i cannot partition my drive for installing windows without formatting everything?
[07:41] <hostile_^> GeekSquid: i know what the different parts mean just not sure what im suppose to do with it
[07:41] <keith-> ok well it still doesn't start up unity when i choose to boot into the netbook stuff. is there a way i can start unity from the console and tell it which display to go to?
[07:42] <keith-> daniellopezific: yeah you can resize your drive using gparted or something similar. but you will need a linux livecd to reinstall grub. which will be much easier if you have a separate /boot directory
[07:43] <GeekSquid> hostile_^: what you are playing is an ssh based game ... ssh -l level1 io.smashthestack.org -p 2224  will get you into the game .... everything else is game based ... you might want to read the faq's at smashthestack.org
[07:43] <daniellopezific> keith, thanks for the quick tip, i really appreciate it.
[07:44] <hostile_^> GeekSquid: allright man thanks
[07:44] <gdoteof_home> god sakes how to disable touchpad
[07:44] <yigal> who else is compiling a kernel on an atom processor
[07:44] <piyushmishra> what command do we run to run an installer file from terminal?
[07:44] <keith-> there is no way to designate unity open in a particular display from console? anyone?
[07:45] <GeekSquid> yigal: you might wait to visit #ubuntu-kernel or #kernel
[07:45] <GeekSquid> piyushmishra: what kind of file?
[07:45] <yigal> GeekSquid: awesome, that sounds like the right stuff
[07:45] <piyushmishra> GeekSquid: TeX live install file
[07:46] <piyushmishra> GeekSquid: am in the folder I have to run the install-tl file from terminal so that I can see the error before the window closes
[07:46] <GeekSquid> piyushmishra: uh, don't you mean LaTeX ... you will need it installed to work with that kind of file
[07:47] <piyushmishra> GeekSquid:  I need to use LaTeX yes and I think its comes with TeX live as mentioned in their site
[07:48] <sacarlson> keith-: unity apears to be just a theme so if you create a new user from the console you will create a default theme and if you login to that you will have something you can use
[07:49] <GeekSquid> piyushmishra: sudo apt-get install texlive .... this would be the ubuntu way of installing texlive
[07:49] <sacarlson> keith-: when you find a theme you like that is usable in that user you can copy it or move it to the user you want to be
[07:49] <piyushmishra> GeekSquid:  ok lemme try that
[07:50] <keith-> sacarlson: unity is a shell not a theme. and it's not starting. so i can't so much as right click.
[07:50] <piyushmishra> GeekSquid: lol texlive site showed 2.5 meg of install ubuntu apt-get shows 217 meg!!
[07:50] <AbhiJit> how to veiw the result of last clamscan scan?
[07:50] <rs0832> piyushmishra, probably dependancies
[07:50] <GeekSquid> piyushmishra: dependencies, you'll need those as well
[07:51] <sacarlson> keith-: so what will a new user have in it then if you have unity installed?
[07:51] <piyushmishra> rs0832: GeekSquid yup
[07:51] <AbhiJit> hhee;lp
[07:51] <piyushmishra> AbhiJit: kya?
[07:51] <keith-> sacarlson: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/features <-- that
[07:51] <AbhiJit> how to veiw the result of last clamscan scan?
[07:52] <rs0832> piyushmishra, you too ??!?
[07:52] <sacarlson> keith-: you can go to console with <ctl><alt>+f2
[07:52] <AbhiJit> piyushmishra, ^
[07:52] <keith-> sacarlson: that's how i started this irssi session.
[07:52] <piyushmishra> rs0832: me too?
[07:52] <rs0832> piyushmishra, never mind :D
[07:52] <AbhiJit> :/
[07:52] <piyushmishra> rs0832: huh?
[07:52] <rs0832> piyushmishra, dont worry about it :)
[07:53] <piyushmishra> rs0832: lol tell me
[07:53] <AbhiJit> !ot
[07:53] <AbhiJit> !en
[07:53] <chmod> :\
[07:53] <sacarlson> keith-: yes I read that, but when I went to synaptic to see how to install it I get the package gnome-theme-extras
[07:54] <rs0832> piyushmishra, pm<<
[07:54] <keith-> sacarlson: what version you running? only the ubuntu netbook setup offers it currently. next version will have it available to all
[07:54] <keith-> netbook version of 10.10 that is. perhaps another repo? iuno...
[07:54] <sacarlson> keith-: I don't run it
[07:55] <piyushmishra> AbhiJit: !patience
[07:55] <gobbe> keith-: you can install unity from repos too
[07:56] <piyushmishra> !patience
[07:56] <gobbe> keith-: netbook edition is same as desktop, but it includes unity by default
[07:56] <piyushmishra> !patience | AbhiJit
[07:57] <daniellopezific> keith, by a linux live CD, do you mean any linux cd that can be ran without installing? just so i can execute grub?
[07:57] <daniellopezific> if so probably just going to get slax since i'm famliar with that
[07:58] <keith-> daniellopezific: i would use a livecd that is running the same version of ubuntu as you have now... but it doesn't particularly matter as long as grub configs dont' get confused i guess
[07:58] <cryptodira> 'failed to fork' 'resource temporarily unavailable'   what causes these errors.... how do i fix them????
[07:58] <gibran> guys anyone knows where to get the flashplayer? i already downloaded it but i still can't open my workplaces' website help pls.
[07:58] <rs0832> gibran, where did you download it from?
[07:58] <cryptodira> these start to occour a few minutes after bootup... and get progressively worse
[07:59] <rs0832> gibran, install adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-nonfree from synaptic
[07:59] <gibran> from the ubuntu website
[07:59] <rs0832> gibran, then copy it to your browsers plugin folder
[07:59] <Aedra> Anyone know a bit about ATI Proprietory Drivers?
[08:00] <gibran> where can i get it?
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> !anyone
[08:00] <AbhiJit> ActionParsnip, \how to veiw the result of last clamscan scan?
[08:00] <rs0832> gibran, in the repositories... use apt-get or synaptic
[08:00] <cryptodira> 'failed to fork' 'resource temporarily unavailable'   what causes these errors.... how do i fix them????
[08:01] <cryptodira> these start to occour a few minutes after bootup... and get progressively worse
[08:01] <Aedra> Should i use the Proprietory Drivers for Ubuntu 10.10 using the Hardware Devices notification, or the drivers from ATI.COM?
[08:02] <Aedra> AS in, which are faster / More stable
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> anhijit: i use tne logfile switch to output wbere i like. .ot sure where tne default is. maybe /var/log or /tmp
[08:03] <damagednoob> i'm having a problem when booting up. it says 'Alert! /dev/sdc1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell'. I think I need to point to the right partition in the boot config. where would i do that?
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> anyone else notice watching videos on HULU. if you pause them, after so long (10 min?) the video resets back to the beginning
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> wonderng if this was some odd linux quirk or does it on windows also.
[08:03] <lano> can anyone help me out with this mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking
[08:04] <Aedra> ATI Proprietory or ATI.com Drivers? Which ones are better?
[08:04] <AbhiJit> ActionParsnip, ok
[08:04] <cryptodira> 'failed to fork' 'resource temporarily unavailable'   what causes these errors.... how do i fix them????
[08:04] <cryptodira> or rather prevent them>
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> cryptodira:  perhaps ram all used up?
[08:05] <neiz> Attempting to format NTFS HDD to FAT.  However, when I go to unmount (using gparted as root), I recieve "Error: Daemon is inhibited"
[08:05] <Aedra> what is the difference between ATI.Com Drivers, and the Proprietory Drivers>
[08:05] <Aedra> ??
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> aedra: they are tje same as ot is prlprietary. the hw manager thing makes life easier
[08:05] <gibran> im really sorry im such a noob.may i know where is the plugin folder?
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> Aedra:  what devices are supported. and the quality of the 3d. and perhaps extra features.
[08:05] <cryptodira> Dr_Willis: 4gigs on machine less than a gig being used....
[08:05] <rs0832> neiz, another partitioning or mounting program is probably running
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> Aedra:  i think tv out on some cards may be a lacking features on teh GPL drivers..  but i missread your question. :)
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> Aedra:  the ati drivers Are the properity drivers.. the open sourced drivers are differnt.
[08:07] <piyushmishra> !botsnack
[08:07] <lano> can anyone help me out with this mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> Aedra:  try one, see how well the open sourced driver works.
[08:08] <FrostBiT> lol
[08:08] <damagednoob> how can i change the partition to boot from on startup? i need to change it from /dev/sdc to /dev/sda
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> Aedra:  if it dont work well. try the other.
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> lano:  still fighting that eh.
[08:08] <FrostBiT> !botsnack
[08:08] <lano> yeah man
[08:08] <FrostBiT> epic
[08:08] <lano> i did everything even google
[08:08] <rs0832> damagednoob, you can modify it in grub.cfg
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> damagednoob:  its a bios setting on my machines.
[08:08] <lano> i still cant seem to figure it out
[08:09] <gibran> where is my plugin folder? can't find it
[08:09] <Dr_Willis> damagednoob:  or we missunderstand what you want.
[08:09] <lano> i mean its working as long as i run /sbin/rcp.statd but just bugging me to why its not working on boot
[08:09] <gusg> How can I tell where apt-get or other package managers install to?
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> gibran: if you use (crappy) firefox you can put it in ~/.mozilla/pljgins
[08:09] <GeekSquid> damagednoob: that would be done from your bios
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> plugins
[08:09] <sjuxax> Hello. Can I apt-get install alternate-installer? I am using the desktop CD but VNC is going really, really slow for some reason and I would prefer to install over SSH
[08:09] <Dr_Willis> gusg:  they download the .deb to /var/cache/apt/
[08:10] <cryptodira> Dr_Willis: there is a lot of quirky behaviour happening.... items in the menu bar will not launch...the icons just disappear, resource errors even from cli, programs that do launch will suddenly hang... 10.04/amd64/toshiba satellite/fresh install on new machine/worked fine for a month or so.... thoughts?
[08:10] <gusg> thanks Dr_Willis. Does the .deb file contain the installation location? I'm trying to find where my sun-java home folder is
[08:10] <Dr_Willis> cryptodira:  Hmm.. test with a live cd. see if has same issues.
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> gusg:  you can examine the .deb to see where it installs tuff to. or use synaptic to check the packages properties.
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: i suggest you test ram
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> gusg:  or some command line way.. i dont recall.
[08:11] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:11] <damagednoob> okay. i don't have boot from usb or a cdrom in this computer. so i took out the harddrive and put it in a usb housing. i then plugged that housing into my laptop and install ubuntu to the hdd. i've no plugged the hdd back into the other computer. it seems to have the same grub setup now as the laptop
[08:12] <lano> can anyone help me out with this mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> damagednoob:  once you boot and rerun 'sudo update-grub' it will alter the grub menu to fit whats on that machine
[08:12] <qwebirc97871> can I install mythbuntu using command line only until I can get ATI drivers loaded
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> gusg: java version ,may do it
[08:12] <qwebirc97871> command line based install
[08:13] <damagednoob> Dr_Willis, i'm sitting at the 'initramfs' prompt now and that doesn't seem to be an option
[08:13] <gusg> ActionParsnip, OpenJDK is first on the parth... I should check out the path
[08:13] <damagednoob> i don't even have /boot
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> damagednoob:  if you moved the machine from a usb enclosuer to an internal bay. you might need to edit the grub menu by hand initially, to boot the system then rerun update-grub
[08:14] <damagednoob> okay, does that mean i need to mount /dev/sda and find update-grub?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> qwebir 98871:  sure just use apt-get
[08:14] <damagednoob> i'm thinkingn ow initramfs is a ramdisk
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> the grub meny may be using the wrong hd(#,#) for your system now.
[08:15] <rs0832> damagednoob, dont find update-grub... you run it in a terminal
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> damagednoob: you ca
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> if the system was on sdd, and now is on sda. you might need to alter the hd#,# to reflect that.
[08:15] <rs0832> damagednoob, it will auto find any kernels and set boot menu entries for them
[08:15] <nilshero> Hello guys, i did something stupid (ubuntu 10.10): i put two symbolbars at the top of screen, then i set option for one to autohide - now they 'flicker' and i can not press anything on them (had to restart by removing cable and battery) - how can i reset those symbol bars?
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> t mount sda, its a disk. yoh only mount partitions
[08:16] <lano> can anyone help me out with this mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel
[08:16] <nilshero> in a console? how do i start this?

[08:18] <nilshero> :-D
[08:19] <gibran> i think i got it all. i can see it in the synaptic package manager. i just don't know where to go
[08:20] <damagednoob> okay, from the ramdisk, i've mounted /dev/sda1. i've run the find command to find update-grub which is at '/mount/hdd/usr/sbin/update-grub'. i cd to '/mount/hdd/usr/sbin' and try and run update-grub and i get 'update-grub: not found'
[08:21] <qwebirc97871> nothing I do will get my ATI card to get a desktop up
[08:21] <r00t4rd3d> how do i turn cups off permanently  ?
[08:21] <damagednoob> do i need to edit grub.cfg manually or is there a way to get that command to work?
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint  /dev/sda --recheck
[08:23] <qwebirc97871> is that for me willis?
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> for everyone :)
[08:23] <damagednoob> Dr_Willis, i'm trying to do this from a ramdisk: 'sudo: not found'
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> its from the 1fixtrub wiki
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> if you are root you need no sudo
[08:23] <qwebirc97871> willis is there a way to install mythbuntu without a GUI
[08:23] <damagednoob> Dr_Willis, grub-install: not found
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> but a ramdisk may not have all the stuff there
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> do it from a live cd
[08:24] <qwebirc97871> without using a gui
[08:24] <swazzy> does anyone know of a comiler that i can use for beginners  on ubuntu?
[08:24] <taha> Can i change shortcuts keys for opening and closing nodes in tree widget of gtk? (eg tree view of nautilus). I want right key opens the node and left key close it.
[08:24] <daniellopezific> is 23.0 MB/sec around firewire speed or is that more usb 1.0 speed?
[08:24] <damagednoob> Dr_Willis, on this computer, i don't have a cdrom or a boot from usb option
[08:25] <qwebirc97871> this is driving me mad
[08:25] <damagednoob> daniellopezific, http://superuser.com/questions/138845/speed-comparison-between-usb-2-0-usb-3-0-and-sata-and-firewire/138854#138854
[08:25] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:26] <daniellopezific> i always get Mbits and Mbytes confused
[08:26] <damagednoob> Jordan_U, 10.10
[08:26] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: Can you boot from a LiveCD?
[08:26] <daniellopezific> damagednoob, thank you
[08:26] <rs0832> daniellopezific, 1mbyte = 8mbits
[08:27] <daniellopezific> sweet
[08:27] <damagednoob> Jordan_U, nope, i don't have a cdrom or boot from usb option on the pc
[08:27] <qwebirc97871> i guess nobody can help huh
[08:27] <lano> waht the equilant command to chkconfig
[08:28] <damagednoob> Jordan_U, i had to put the hdd in another computer to install the ubuntu os
[08:29] <rs0832> qwebirc97871, why would you want to install it without a gui? is the gui creating problems?
[08:29] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: Does the output of "cat /proc/cmdline" have a parameter like "root=/dev/sdc1" or a parameter like "root=UUID=fa24d8ed-e5d9-4603-bc0b-f576fd2f7f56"?
[08:29] <sacarlson> swazzy: if you plan to compile things you should at least install the package build-essential it will include the compilers and headers needed
[08:30] <daniellopezific> MB = Mega Byte, Mb = Mega Bit.... honestly wth
[08:30] <lano> what the equivalent command to chkconfig
[08:30] <damagednoob> output: 'BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-geneirc root=/dev/sc1 ro quite splash'
[08:31] <damagednoob> sorry, that should be 'root=/dev/sdc1'
[08:31] <gibran> missing destination for adobe-flashplugin? whats happening? im in the terminal?
[08:31] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: In a default install of Ubuntu 10.10 that should not be what /proc/cmdline looks like.
[08:32] <damagednoob> Jordan_U, yeah, i figure i just need to change /dev/sdc1 to /dev/sda1 and then it should work
[08:32] <gibran> help anyone?
[08:34] <daniellopezific> gibran, what are you doing?
[08:34] <gibran> i am trying to install the adobe flash plugin
[08:34] <r00t4rd3d> just goto a site that has flash and install it that way
[08:34] <gibran> i already downloaded it
[08:35] <gibran> but i still can't get into our website
[08:35] <r00t4rd3d> it should auto install
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> gibran:  best to let the package manager do the downloading.
[08:35] <gibran> how?
[08:35] <r00t4rd3d> http://newzjunky.com/
[08:35] <r00t4rd3d> go there , you get a bar on top saying you need more plugins ?
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> flashplugin-installer - Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
[08:35] <gibran> could you give me a website where i can install it again? my boss is already killing me
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> but if you ran the flash installer probram from the adobe site.. that may break things
[08:36] <r00t4rd3d> Anyone know how I can turn off the CUPS printing service permanently ?
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> r00t4rd3d:  rename  /etc/init/cups.conf  -> cups.DISABLED

[08:38] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: Reboot holding shift to get to the grub menu, press 'e' to edit the first entry, change /dev/sdc1 to be /dev/sda1, then press ctrl+X to execute the modified entry and boot.
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> AbhiJit:  i rarely use clamscan. it may log stuff somewhere.
[08:38] <Dribble> they still haven't fixed the nvidia drivers issue with the new kernal?
[08:39] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: Then please pastebin the output of "ls /boot/" and the contents of /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[08:39] <AbhiJit> Dr_Willis, its related to terminal actually
[08:39] <AbhiJit> Dr_Willis, can you please look at the thread?
[08:41] <datboy> hey guys, I'm trying to run half life 1 in wine but I cant get any sound, and opengl is slow.

[08:43] <damagednoob> Jordan_U, holy shit it's working. thanks a ton!
[08:43] <jrwr> crap
[08:43] <jrwr> Is there a filesystem that i would use that would detect identical files and instead of make a copy of it and waste disk space, it would just use the pre-existing data?
[08:44] <gobbe> jrwr: zfs can do that when dedup os set on
[08:44] <jrwr> awesome
[08:44] <jrwr> can i use zfs in a loop mount setup?

[08:47] <b0nghitter> please update GNS3 to the latest 0.7.3 in the maverick repos. i have been using it for weeks, it is very stable and installs perfectly via "python setup.py install"
[08:48] <b0nghitter> 0.7.1 is a bit outdated for the latest version of ubuntu i think
[08:49] <Jordan_U> damagednoob: Did you get my messages about holding shift during boot and pastebining output?
[08:49] <nomadd> anyone here know how to get gma 4500M to work ?
[08:50] <damagednoob> Jordan_U, yes i did, thank you for that. editing from the grub menu was all i needed and i'm now up and running :)
[08:50] <noonian> how can I set it up so that gnome and x dont start at boot and you have to type startx manually to bring it up?

[08:57] <falstaph> I have a problem with my partition table ... I have a 40 gigabyte drive that is divided into two partitions how do I merge them into one?
[08:57] <Dribble> nvidia drivers issue? screen goes blank?
[08:58] <aaron11> hello, I want to ask about Wine. Its a simple short question. Will GTA San Andreas work on Ubuntu 10.10? When I mean work I mean like will it work 100%. If not what are the things that will work and what are the things that will fail. I want to know this before I buy this game. It looks soooo good, :D. And if you can can you tell me what settings to put up on Wine? Ive seen some people manage to play it on Wine so Im pretty sure tha
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> falstaph:  keeping the data thats on both?
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  when in doubt check the wine app database.
[08:58] <a931bw> What is broadcast adress?
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | aaron11
[08:59] <sacarlson> falstaph: I think I would leave it partition as two 20 gig's and mount one as root / and the other as /home
[08:59] <Dribble> !bash
[09:00] <falstaph> I'm not two worried about the data ...
[09:00] <nomadd> is there a way to enable GMA 4500m drivers?
[09:00] <aaron11> Dr_Willis: It seems that on Maveric it is a problem http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3780
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> falstaph:  delete one, resize the other.. or delete both and make a single partition.
[09:01] <aaron11> Dr_Willis: But other ones say its gold
[09:01] <aaron11> Dr_Willis: Which one to belive.
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  often its a matter of 'versions'
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  try it and see.. try the latest wine from the ppa's
[09:02] <sacarlson> falstaph: but if you want to resize your partitions you could boot a live cd and use gparted to shape them any way you want

[09:12] <xnixan> Dr_Willis, i had tried vlc, same issue!
[09:12] <xnixan> Dr_Willis, thanks, but converting is not a good solution!

[09:21] <arunkumar413> hi friends, i'm on ubuntu 10.10. i have a 10.10 ubuntustudio alternate iso image and i want to add this iso image to the software sources.kindly help me
[09:22] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: add the software sources from the cd
[09:22] <r00t4rd3d> dont think you can add a iso image
[09:22] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: system>administration>software sources
[09:22] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i have iso image in my harddisk. cant i add without burning it to the cd
[09:23] <h-dee> Hi...I actually screwed up my Ubuntu (/var specifically), and so I was thinking about reinstalling a fresh copy. Is there any way I can backup all .deb package files, and Kernel updates so that I can restore them w/o downloading again?
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  see whats in /var/cache/apt/
[09:23] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: i guess i'm not sure what your asking...are you trying to burn a iso of ubuntu without using a cd?  or doing the adding software sources?
[09:24] <Doinkle> r00t4rd3d, im guessing arunkumar413 wants a list of sorts as to what s/w is contained on that flavour of ubuntu...
[09:24] <h-dee> Dr_Willis: Thanks, and what about Kernel updates? Or configuration settings for apps if possible?
[09:24] <r00t4rd3d> he wants to add a iso image as a source
[09:24] <r00t4rd3d> read
[09:24] <Doinkle> i did read
[09:24] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: i want to add a new repository. the repository is in .iso image format.
[09:24] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  confuigs in user home are in their home.. other configs are whever they got set at/files you edited
[09:24] <r00t4rd3d> "i want to add this iso image to the software sources"
[09:24] <Doinkle> but i conjured arunkumar413 's goal is what i described??
[09:25] <h-dee> Dr_Willis: Sorry, I didn't understand that. I'm newbie.
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> i was thinking when i moutned an alternative isntaller iso once.. it did ask to add it to the sources.. but i may be mistaken
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  Your users seetings are in their Home dir.
[09:25] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: ?   ?  ?  a ppa shouldn't be in a iso image...it should be a url
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  other configs may be in /etc/
[09:25] <ortsvorsteher> Sound Problem. I cant get sound from built in speakers on my laptop. On Green Jack and Grey Jack when i plug in External Speakers or Headphones it works. I run a msi notebook with intel hda soundcard. Ubuntu 10.04 and alsa 1.0.21 driver. No sound from internal speakers.
[09:26] <h-dee> Dr_Willis: And how about Kernel updates?
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  see whats in /var/cache/apt/
[09:26] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: i've seen other distros get a package to install a repo...but ubuntu or mint you'll use urls
[09:26] <ShapeShifter499> the mic is not working on my acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.04

[09:26] <ShapeShifter499> can someone help?
[09:26] <h-dee> Dr_Willis: I think they were all package files.
[09:26] <r00t4rd3d> shape you too
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  yes.. and thats what all the updates come in..
[09:26] <r00t4rd3d>  run alsamixer in a terminal
[09:27] <ortsvorsteher> alsamixer runs now in terminal r00t4rd3d
[09:27] <r00t4rd3d> use your arrow keys and move all the sliders up
[09:27] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: or I guess you could mount the iso and then use the software sources to install from
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> arunkumar413:  some programs come as debs that auto-add their own repos to the system to keep  them updated. googles tuff does that and so do a few other apps.
[09:27] <ortsvorsteher> all sliders eccept line & mic are up r00t4rd3d
[09:27] <Dribble> can you read this?
[09:27] <Doinkle> we can read :)
[09:28] <h-dee> Dr_Willis: Thanks! By the way, after re-installing...can I install all those files in /var/cache/apt in a single step? Or got to install each 1 by 1?
[09:28] <soxor> #ubuntu-de
[09:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ortsvorsteher: make sure it isn't muted too
[09:28] <ShapeShifter499> r00

[09:28] <r00t4rd3d> ortsvorsteher, you see a speaker icon up on the top taskbar ?
[09:28] <ShapeShifter499> r00t4rd3d, ok now what?
[09:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dribble: what up
[09:28] <Dribble> i'm tired of my screen going blank
[09:28] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: i think first i should mount the iso image
[09:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: you know how?
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  some of them may be out dated and redundant.. so i suggest just copying them to your new cache dir.. then doing normal apt-get update/upgrade/installs of what you need
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> !clone | h-dee
[09:28] <r00t4rd3d> ShapeShifter499, press F4
[09:28] <ortsvorsteher> nothing is muted Us3r_Unfriendly
[09:28] <Dribble> it was fixed by an update then I updated again and it came back
[09:29] <Dr_Willis> h-dee:  if a newer package is int eh repos it will download it.. if its alrleady in teh cache - it wont.
[09:29] <r00t4rd3d> ShapeShifter499, you see a section Mic
[09:29] <ortsvorsteher> r00t4rd3d, speacker icon?
[09:29] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: i was reading this article  http://www.zimbio.com/Linux/articles/kEIN6zMahru/Add+iso+software+repository+Ubuntu
[09:29] <ShapeShifter499> r00t4rd3d, yes
[09:29] <ShapeShifter499> r00t4rd3d, is up and not muted
[09:29] <h-dee> Dr_Willis: Okay! Thanks! :-)
[09:29] <ortsvorsteher> r00t4rd3d, the speaker slider is open and unmuted

[09:31] <rickmasta> Hey guys, can I find a good laptop that'll run ubuntu smoothly for under $400?
[09:31] <ortsvorsteher> r00t4rd3d, i am able to mute it there. at the moment it is unmuted
[09:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: where the iso image is located
[09:31] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: its on the desktop
[09:32] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: sudo mount -o loop /home/arunkumar/ubuntuiso /mnt/
[09:32] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i guessed with that arunkumar413
[09:32] <adz_> who made this ubuntu distribution? is it from britain? what does the name mean, is in in africaan? please answer
[09:32] <el_seano> rickmasta: I run Ubuntu Desktop on my netbook just fine.  Maybe specify what you mean by smoothly?
[09:33] <r00t4rd3d> ortsvorsteher, it should say Mute if your sound is on , not unmuted
[09:33] <gobbe> adz_: read from wikipedia?
[09:33] <r00t4rd3d> you can click mute/unmuted to change it
[09:33] <el_seano> adz_: Ubuntu is made by Canonical, which is owned by Mark Shuttleworth.
[09:33] <rww> adz_: a group of Debian developers led by Mark Shuttleworth, yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy)#Definition , yes
[09:34] <ortsvorsteher> r00t4rd3d, sound is on and i see there an option to mute it
[09:34] <ShapeShifter499> r00t4rd3d, skype is not working with my mic
[09:34] <adz_> oh, thank you. for the answer. i am new to irc. are you guys privating me? why are you texts show up in yellow?
[09:34] <adz_> i use opera browser irc client.
[09:34] <rww> adz_: because we put your name at the start of the message
[09:34] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly:  sudo mount -o loop /home/arunkumar/ubuntuiso /mnt/  .is ubuntuiso is the name of the iso image
[09:34] <adz_> rww, thank you, now do you see yellow.
[09:35] <rww> adz_: yes
[09:35] <adz_> cool.
[09:35] <adz_> it's debian. very good.
[09:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: yes use what ever the ubuntu iso is called
[09:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: i don't know off the top of my head
[09:35] <adz_> been using redhat/fedora for 7 years. then i can't take it anymore. the updates are crazy.
[09:35] <gobbe> crazy?
[09:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> adz_: welcome to .debs :)
[09:35] <solo_> Hi all! I have problem on my laptop hp 4720s with WiFi card. Drivers from System->Additional Drivers don't work. My hardvare: 44:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
[09:36] <adz_> Us3r_Unfriendly your user name is too long for me. :)
[09:36] <solo_> Please anybody help me!!!
[09:36] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: just double clicking the iso image mounted it
[09:36] <adz_> well, i ain't new to debian. been running knoppix on a stick for a year now.
[09:36] <Us3r_Unfriendly> adz_: type in Us3 and hit tab
[09:36] <ortsvorsteher> r00t4rd3d, i think it is because my hda chip is not supported. it is an ALC1200 Intel Soundcard HDA. May there is an option not inserted in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. but i have no idea which one
[09:37] <adz_> Us3r_Unfriendly: Us3r_Unfriendly great thank you.
[09:37] <rww> adz_: It's based on Debian and syncs from there at the start of every release cycle, then adds changes on top.
[09:37] <adz_> Us3r_Unfriendly: Us3r_UnfriendlyI should have learned this in 1995.
[09:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: wow that is easy...where'd it mount it to?  /media/  ?
[09:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> adz_: no problem
[09:38] <adz_> rww: so why the name ubuntu, doctor?
[09:38] <rww> adz_: no idea
[09:38] <rww> Mark Shuttleworth's South African, maybe he just heard it and liked it.
[09:38] <adz_> it sounds african. which is not bad, i mean.
[09:38] <gobbe> adz_: . It is named after the Southern African philosophy of Ubuntu ("humanity towards others").[7]
[09:38] <adz_> rww ohh.
[09:38] <PhilT> adz: "Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the world of computers."
[09:39] <adz_> gobbe: thank you that's good if you are not in the politics.
[09:39] <PhilT> http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu
[09:39] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: dont know where it got mounted. But the mounted folder is on the desktop
[09:39] <ortsvorsteher> r00t4rd3d, i think it is because my hda chip seems not to be supported. it is an ALC1200 Intel Soundcard HDA. May there is an option not inserted in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. but i have no idea which one
[09:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: well i'm guessing if you have a article on how to add to software sources you'll need to know where it's mounted
[09:40] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: the location is archive://file%253A%252F%252F%252Fhome%252Farun%252FDesktop%252Fubuntustudio-10.10-alternate-i386.iso/
[09:40] <sweet> hey i want to know how free domain is useful to owner
[09:40] <rickmasta> el_seano: I just mean, run it with no prob
[09:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: that's not the location
[09:41] <solo__> hi all!
[09:41] <r00t4rd3d> ortsvorsteher, pm
[09:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: that's where your gnome nautilus location on your desktop is
[09:41] <arunkumar413> when i press ctrl+l this is the location it shows
[09:41] <ortsvorsteher> i read that r00t4rd3dthx
[09:41] <solo__> can ask about Wifi problems on laptop&
[09:42] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: then tell me how to find the mount point
[09:42] <sweet> how it is profitable...
[09:42] <adz_> can some good people do me a favor and just send one private msg to me. i am not testing my opera. thansk in adv. (the notification feature of opera)
[09:42] <el_seano> rickmasta: To give you perspective, I have one of the earlier N270 Atom netbooks with a 1GB of RAM.  It runs Ubuntu just fine; I can even play Minecraft on this thing.
[09:42] <el_seano> I paid $270 for it in 2009.
[09:43] <r00t4rd3d> ShapeShifter499, PM
[09:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: sudo mount -l    works nicely...also       sudo lshw
[09:43] <rww> el_seano: I think we have the same CPU and RAM. I was surprised at minecraft running on mine :)
[09:43] <adz_> hello
[09:43] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: when i click on places. The mounted file is shown under network
[09:43] <solo__> hi
[09:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: also i'm not to wrattle your cage but how did you double click it and mount it in ubuntu?
[09:43] <el_seano> rww: I know right!  I mean, it's not pretty and I get maybe 10fps if I'm lucky, but it's enough to get my fix
[09:44] <adz_> solo_: can you send me a private msg, i am testing my opera browser private msg notification feature. just one, please.
[09:44] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: i just doubled the iso image file on the desktop. just below it there was a folder
[09:44] <mazzoni> hi
[09:45] <adz_> did someone send me anything, nothing happens.
[09:45] <sweet> anyone  ...tell me why free domain is profitable
[09:45] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: you'll either use a iso mounter like "Furious Mount" or just from a terminal...otherwise you'll need to put it on a cd or a usb device
[09:45] <egsome> I've problem with Google Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10, as (some) Arabic text shows `white small box` instead of each character, Any ideas ?
[09:45] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: i want to do it in terminal
[09:45] <adz_> egsome: i won't be the test bed for a for profit company. it's buggy, has problems.
[09:45] <adz_> egsome: max out it's a beta
[09:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: you are using ubuntu 10.04+ right?
[09:46] <Synergy999> Help! I have no sound in Ubuntu 10.04 (it's not muted, speakers are on). Ubuntu sees my onboard sound : http://pastebin.com/RuiW6LJ1 but still nothing comes out of the speakers. Any suggestions?
[09:46] <egsome> adz_, I didn't face any problems with it, but this one.
[09:46] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: yes, 10.10
[09:46] <adz_> egsome: but you should try opera.
[09:46] <solo__> Help me with Wifi 44:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
[09:46] <egsome> adz_, Using it for many months till now
[09:46] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: just tell me how to know the mount point
[09:46] <adz_> egsome: it takes years to make a browser. and google has been to optimistic about it.
[09:47] <egsome> adz_, I'd consider your suggestion, but Can you help in this problem ?
[09:47] <rww> solo__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx , do the "Installing STA drivers" section
[09:47] <adz_> egsome: what's the prob again? i manage to run chrome in chroot a few days ago.
[09:47] <rww> solo__: (there are two drivers for bcm43xx cards, wl/sta and b43. b43 doesn't work with bcm4312)
[09:48] <solo__> rww: I tried all manuals but it don't help me
[09:48] <rww> solo__: considering that I have that card and followed those instructions and it worked, this seems odd.
[09:48] <konfuzius> hey folks!
[09:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: sudo mount -l          and it'll say towards the bottom
[09:48] <rww> solo__: only hint I have on top of that link is to shut down your computer completely and then start it back up once you've gotten the right drivers installed. If you tried to set up b43 and its firmware, it can cause odd issues until shutdown.
[09:49] <rww> (and I mean shutdown, not reboot)
[09:49] <r00t4rd3d> rww, is there a difference betweem sta and b43 ?
[09:49] <rww> r00t4rd3d: STA/wl is the non-free-software driver, b43 is a community-developed free driver
[09:49] <r00t4rd3d> whats better ?
[09:49] <konfuzius> anyone who might help with a nforce2 chip sound problem?
[09:50] <rww> r00t4rd3d: different ones work on different cards. when b43 used to work on my bcm4312, it had worse speeds and better features (e.g. promiscuous mode). whereas, wl is more dependable for me.
[09:50] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/549475/
[09:50] <adz_> egsome: can you send me a private message
[09:50] <r00t4rd3d> Ive been using the STA but I see my card is supported for the b43 too :/
[09:50] <adz_> egsome: if you do, i will give you my script to set up a chroot env on knoppix
[09:50] <rww> r00t4rd3d: if the STA's working fine, I'd stick with it
[09:51] <solo__> rww: My driver b43 is working partially and fully sta does not work
[09:51] <adz_> konfuzius: here is the thing with linux. it has all the goodies, if you HW is not supported. change to other HW.
[09:51] <h-dee> Dr_Willis: Sorry to interrupt again...but is there anything else which you should be back'd up apart from config directories/files in Home, and apt files from /var/cache/apt?
[09:51] <rww> solo__: well, I gave you the instructions and the thing about shutting down, so you know what I know now. Broadcom cards are a pain.
[09:51] <konfuzius> no i guess it is supported. at least it had sound input before reinstall :)
[09:52] <konfuzius> and i find the device in the hardware list, but it won't play any sound. i guess its just a matter of drivers
[09:52] <adz_> konttori_work: upgrade sometimes "fail" your hardware. the experience i have with linux for years is: look forward. take what you have and forget about what you don't. save time. also make linux working for u meaning. actually, it's mature now.
[09:53] <PhilT> arunkumar413: how did you mount iso ?
[09:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: your "sr0" is your physical cd/dvd drive.     terminal:   cd /media/45a7536c-fc24-4db3-8897-84697e4a9dbe         and the type:    ls -a
[09:53] <nozick> how do i burn an img image to a usb memory?
[09:54] <rww> solo__: I don't do technical support in PM
[09:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: what is in there?
[09:54] <h-dee> Hi...I was going to re-install Ubuntu, and so I took the backup of complete Home folder (will config files etc), and /var/cache/apt. Do I need to back-up anything else?
[09:55] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: it got lost+found
[09:55] <gobbe> h-dee: /etc-folder might be also one thing to backup
[09:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: okay...that's not it
[09:55] <h-dee> gobbe: Thanks. What's exactly in it? just for knowledge.
[09:55] <arunkumar413> PhilT: i just double clicked the iso image to mount
[09:56] <solo_> rww: sorry
[09:56] <rww> np
[09:56] <PhilT> I can't find where it mounts them using isomount either. Tried from command line ?
[09:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: type:   cd          then:        sudo mount -o loop /home/your-username/and-path-to-the-iso /mnt/
[09:57] <solo_> all actions with sta drivers for lapto hp 4720s - false
[09:57] <x42> which twitter client to use for ubuntu?
[09:57] <h-dee> gobbe: There?
[09:58] <trojanking_> sacarlson private msg me plz
[09:58] <Synergy999> Is anyone a wiz with fixing sound issues? Ubuntu sees my sound card but I still get no sound. Note this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/CnvAfTDU ... any help would be appreciated
[09:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> I could be 100% wrong...but without a iso mounting client already installed on ubuntu, I don't think you just can mount an iso from double clicking on it
[09:59] <h-dee> Hi...I was going to re-install Ubuntu, and so I took the backup of complete Home folder (will config files etc), and /var/cache/apt. Do I need to back-up anything else? What's exactly in /etc?
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  you can with the right extra installed
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i dont recall what the program was called however. 'archive mounter' or somthing like that
[09:59] <PhilT> nozick: Imagewriter
[10:00] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: what about he file name
[10:00] <sosaited> How can I find out where in the disk (Partition or Free space or GB location) a particular "LBA" is (Reported by smartctl)?
[10:00] <toloykhan> hello there
[10:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: your right...didn't know we had archive mounter on the newer versions
[10:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: right click on the iso and click on open with archive mounter
[10:02] <wrd> sosaited: fdisk should give you the info
[10:02] <GrassMonkey> hey guys, i just pluged in a graphics card into my computer PCI but i can not seem to see it in System > Preferances > Screens any ideas please
[10:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: kinda takes the fun out doing it that way :(
[10:02] <PhilT> Grassmonkey: lspci from command line to see if it shows up
[10:03] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: nothing happens
[10:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: sudo mount -l      and it'll lable it like this: /dev/loop0 on /mnt type udf (rw) [ARCH_201005]   <---I used another distro but it'll say ubuntu for you
[10:04] <trojanking_> how do i send private message to some1 in xchat if i know his nick
[10:04] <sosaited> wrd, I think my those sectors are are located in an unpartitioned space... I tried to see with fdisk, but its start/end numbers are way short than what should be for the block size.
[10:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> trojanking_: in irssi and wee-chat i just type in:    /msg trojanking hi what's up?
[10:04] <PhilT> trojanking: right mouse name
[10:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> trojanking_: then hit enter
[10:04] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: it took me to the desktop
[10:05] <PhilT> arunkamar413 sudo mount -o loop image_file.iso /path/to/mount/folder make folder first ie create a mount pont then mount to it
[10:06] <toloykhan> hello there any one have a knowledge about iptables
[10:06] <pa> excuse me, does ubuntu postfix package support sqlite???
[10:06] <Us3r_Unfriendly> toloykhan: use ufw...way easier
[10:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> toloykhan: using linux for a long time...i think iptables is pretty hard for even someone like me
[10:07] <toloykhan> I recently had set my computer to be a router  and I need
[10:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> !info gufw | toloykhan
[10:07] <PhilT> toloykhan: Webmin or ufw help front end iptables
[10:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> toloykhan: gufw is a gui front-end to ufw, which is a front-end to iptables
[10:08] <arunkumar413> PhilT: where should i create folder
[10:08] <toloykhan> no, I had did my firewall my self but i need to access it remotly
[10:08] <PhilT> arunkamar413: wherever - I did mine inthe Downloads folder where the iso was
[10:08] <Us3r_Unfriendly> toloykhan: ssh
[10:09] <toloykhan> us3r_Unfriendly how to do ssh?
[10:09] <Us3r_Unfriendly> toloykhan: why do you need to do over remote connection, might I ask?
[10:10] <blink> i am having an error installing GTK+
[10:10] <toloykhan> I used P3 computer to be a router and I used linux ubuntu and set up it to be a router
[10:11] <toloykhan> so I need to remote access because am going to remove the screen form it
[10:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> toloykhan: you would have to have the host machine with the firewall your trying to configure to have installed some kind of ssh server and then from your machine you would just connect to it through ssh
[10:12] <toloykhan> could you name some ssh server
[10:12] <rww> toloykhan: openssh-server
[10:13] <toloykhan> rww thanx
[10:13] <damagednoob> i think i screwed up installation of mythtv on ubuntu and now it hangs at the desktop. is there a way to reset the desktop settings to default?
[10:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> but to probably use ssh you'd have to open a port through the firewall
[10:13] <toloykhan> I will try to figure out that
[10:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> in the first place
[10:13] <user2> alow

[10:15] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. find a ppa or use soruce.
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> !find libpcap
[10:15] <_joey> it does
[10:16] <PhilT> arunkamar413: is the iso file in the folder you are in ? if both the iso and the mount point folder are at same place should be ok, son't change into mount point folder
[10:16] <yjh> a
[10:16] <sosaited> I want to write "/dev/zero" to a specific LBA of my disk (That sector resides in a non partitioned space, got the LBA number from smartctl). How will I use dd command with seek option in this case? Should I just enter the exact lba, or divide it by 512?
[10:16] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: PhilT just showed you an example of how he would do it on his pc...
[10:16] <yjh> he
[10:16] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: you need to do the location of your local iso file...not his
[10:17] <yjh> ?
[10:17] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: i did mine. but it says it cant find
[10:17] <yjh> wine ?
[10:17] <Myrtti> !ask | yjh
[10:18] <Us3r_Unfriendly> arunkumar413: just right click on the iso image of where you downloaded it to...open with > archive mounter
[10:18] <Us3r_Unfriendly> way easier
[10:18] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: the file is on the deskotp i  created a folder called ubuntustudio in documents to mount it.
[10:18] <PhilT> arunkumar413: ls *.iso - is it there ?
[10:18] <ryan_languagelab> I just switched from Xubuntu to Ubuntu and I must say I'm very unhappy with the indicator-applet. I don't seem to be receiving notifications after I apt-get update about upgrades available. how can I show these but not any of the social indicator stuff?
[10:18] <yjh> how to install wine ?
[10:18] <hidnshadows> need just a spot more help on formatting a freshly wiped external, so that it's compatible with windows and mac(if possible)
[10:18] <hidnshadows> yjh it's in software center
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> yjh:  sudo apt-get install wine
[10:18] <PhilT> yjh: sudo apt-get install wine
[10:18] <PhilT> snap :-)
[10:19] <Us3r_Unfriendly> yjh: it's best to install the latest version of wine from their ppa
[10:19] <blink> if i installed tint2 from the Ubuntu Software Center, does that mean that i am done installing it??
[10:19] <_joey> libpcap0.8-dev
[10:19] <arunkumar413> Us3r_Unfriendly: i tried by opening with archive mounter it's automatically mounting
[10:19] <hidnshadows> blink does it run corrrectly? also, did it specify that you had to dl any additional packages?
[10:20] <Us3r_Unfriendly> yjh: sudo apt-get install wine    will work, but sometimes you'll need the newest version of wine which isn't in the repos...only way is to add the ppa of wine
