[08:53] <masterlord65> sorry i first time use this IRC
[08:53] <Jordan_U> masterlord65: Do you understand how to use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com?
[08:53] <pyrosrock_> can anyone tell me how to navigate the precise interface without a mouse?
[08:53] <saders> Hi there, I have installed ruby 1.9.3-p125 using "rvm", it says it succesfully fetches the files compiles and installs, but when I type on console "ruby -v" to see if it is installed, it says not such a package installed and does not work, does anyone have an idea about it?
[08:53] <CFHowlett> !precise|pyrosrock_
[08:54] <saders> I am using ubuntu 11.10 32bit by the way
[08:54] <CFHowlett> pyrosrock_   precise isn't even in beta and most of the people in this channel aren't using it.
[08:54] <masterlord65> Jordan_U in fact no :(
[08:54] <crizzy> pyrosrock_: #ubuntu+1
[08:54] <pyrosrock_> ok where do i go? CUHowlett
[08:54] <crizzy> pyrosrock_: this channel is for stable

[08:56] <Jordan_U> masterlord65: Go to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com . Paste the text you want us to see into the large box, and put your nick in the small box, then hit "Paste!". Then copy the URL of the page that creates, and post it here so that we can follow the link.
[08:57] <theadmin> Jordan_U: It's paste.ubuntu.com, not pastebin.ubuntu.com
[08:57] <prashs> I have installed ubuntu as wubi. Suddenly getting problem while loading - grub CLI comes and if i type boot it says no kernel found. How to resolve this? Thanks!!
[08:57] <theadmin> Owait
[08:57] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Never mind lol
[08:58] <theadmin> masterlord65: If you are using a non-English system, please run "export LANG=C" before running any commands, so that we can see the output in English (and make sense of it)
[08:59] <Jordan_U> prashs: Are you still able to boot Windows?
[09:00] <prashs> Jordan_U : Yes. I am able to
[09:00] <Jordan_U> prashs: Do you have any important files in your Wubi install?
[09:01] <prashs> if i do ls /boot/ it shows nothing. Yes, i do have some files :-/
[09:01] <prashs> Jordan_U : If i can recover some files, that will also be good.
[09:01] <Coke> Is 11.10 unstable and LTS the stable for ubuntu?
[09:02] <almoxarife> prashs: look here, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10
[09:02] <Jordan_U> prashs: OK. Do you know where those files are within Ubuntu? It's pretty easy to backup the files from Wubi using an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB, and then I'd recommend doing a normal dual boot rather than using Wubi.
[09:02] <Coke> Just tried the 11.10 download and aside from Empathy not connecting to jabber and thunderbird crashing, the overall experience was pretty laggy, is it possible LTS could solve this?
[09:02] <zykotick9> Coke: ubuntu is not debian, there is no "stable" ubuntu.  11.10 is a regular release vs. LTS
[09:03] <Coke> zykotick9: ok. well, the regular release is way to unstable for proper use, is LTS more stable?
[09:03] <ashok_shetty> unknowingly i removed some files from computer janitor now my vlc is not wrking, any one tel me how to fix it
[09:04] <zykotick9> Coke: Lucid would be yes, the next LTS i doubt it.
[09:04] <Coke> zykotick9: how come?
[09:04] <almoxarife> ashok_shetty: re-install vlc?
[09:04] <zykotick9> Coke: 12.04 is using unity
[09:04] <prashs> almoxarife : Thanks!! This version is 10.10. So can download the one in the link you mentioned?
[09:05] <almoxarife> prashs: what is version 10.10? ubuntu or wubi.exe?
[09:05] <Coke> zykotick9: eh. I'm a slackware / archlinux user, I don't know those fancy names for window managers and desktops. My experience with gnome so far is crashy-crash-crash and rendering errors.
[09:05] <Coke> zykotick9: I just want a system that doesn't have every other app crash
[09:05] <ashok_shetty> almoxarife@im getting error wen i reinstalling like "package vlc has no installation candidate"
[09:05] <zykotick9> Coke: if you value "stability" ubuntu might not be the distro for you
[09:05] <prashs> almoxarife : wubi.exe . 10.10
[09:06] <Coke> zykotick9: but everybody keeps saying it's a good way to replace windows
[09:06] <Coke> but tbh, windows 7 is WAY more stable
[09:06] <prashs> almoxarife : I mean i installed Ubuntu 10.10 from wubi.exe file.
[09:06] <zykotick9> Coke: "everybody" is not always right.  And that's usually coming from former-MS users, that might not know better.
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: gotcha. well, I havent used non-free systems since 97-98
[09:07] <prashs> Jordan_U : Ya i know the location. Do i need to know the exact device detail like sda etc or just location like /home/username/Desktop ?
[09:07] <zykotick9> Coke: lol, ubuntu is non-free.
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: my standards are pretty high. if ANY software on my computer crashes more than once within 10 years, I think it's shit
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: I havent used ubuntu
[09:07] <almoxarife> prashs: i would try to use the instructions given
[09:07] <prashs> Jordan_U : I know the latter one only.
[09:07] <Coke> zykotick9: im evaluating to see if it will give me more or less headache than winblows
[09:07] <Coke> so far it's not looking promising.
[09:07] <prashs> almoxarife : Fine. But that says its for 9.10. Can i go ahead and give a try for 10.10?
[09:07] <Jordan_U> prashs: Just /home/username/Desktop/. More than that is needed to get at the files, but I can help you with everything else :)
[09:08] <Coke> I also tried LinuxMint, but Gnome3 keeps crashing leaving "dead" windows.
[09:08] <almoxarife> prashs: yes, for 'wubi' the installer, not ubuntu, two different things
[09:08] <prashs> Jordan_U : Cool. Its enough if i get just one folder :)
[09:08] <ashok_shetty> unknowingly i removed some files from computer janitor now my vlc is not wrking, any one tel me how to fix it
[09:08] <zykotick9> Coke: mint is based on ubuntu, don't expect any difference in stability between them
[09:09] <Coke> zykotick9: so, stability isn't a priority any more for users then? they gave up?
[09:09] <prashs> almoxarife : Sorry , cant get you.
[09:10] <zykotick9> Coke: most ubuntu/mint people suffer from !sns
[09:10] <Coke> zykotick9: what is sns ?
[09:10] <zykotick9> Coke: it's a debian factoid
[09:10] <prashs> Jordan_U : Can i do like booting from USB Stick and try to get the device in which Ubuntu is installed and fetch the data?
[09:11] <almoxarife> prashs: you are confusing the version number of 'wubi' a windows installer with 'ubuntu' the OS, 'wubi.exe' is what the 9.10 is refering to
[09:11] <Coke> zykotick9: dpkg does not want to give a reply
[09:11] <Coke> zykotick9: but basically, with ubuntu being less stable than Windows I'll have to look elsewhere, is what youre saying?
[09:11] <Coke> zykotick9: and also stay clear of ubuntu based spin-offs, I guess.
[09:11] <Jordan_U> prashs: Yes. If you can do it soon I can walk you through it (I'm planning to go to sleep soon).
[09:12] <zykotick9> Coke: up to you.
[09:12] <prashs> almoxarife : Oh Sorry :) Fine then :)
[09:12] <prashs> Jordan_U : Have booted in USB
[09:12] <Coke> zykotick9: got any recommendations? I can always shove in slackware 13.37, it WORKS 100% all the time, but it requires a lot of post install work
[09:12] <Jordan_U> prashs: OK. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"?
[09:12] <prashs> almoxarife : Will try to do that . Trying USB right now :)
[09:12] <almoxarife> prashs: as you please
[09:13] <prashs> Jordan_U : Just a sec. Right now in different maching. Will switch the internet to the ubuntu machine. be right back in 1 min.
[09:15] <jessie> unknowingly i removed some files from computer janitor now my vlc is not wrking, any one tel me how to fix it
[09:18] <zykotick9> jessie: if you start vlc from a terminal to you get an error message of some sort?
[09:19] <prashs_> Jordan_U : http://paste.ubuntu.com/860276/
[09:21] <amanATdesk> hello
[09:22] <Jordan_U> prashs_: Could you also pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[09:22] <NyLes> hi, i have an ATI video card, and Ubuntu only use vesa, how will  i force ubuntu to use ati driver?
[09:23] <NyLes> or can someone tell me how to generate a Xorg.conf? coz i don't have 1..
[09:23] <amanATdesk> I've recently installed gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 and I am having difficulty figuring out why on occasions nautilus does not respond when I right-click and select "extract here" over rar files, even though I have installed the correct software to allow it do work with rar files (and this has been tested and shown to work).
[09:23] <faLUCE>  hi. is there an utility/command that shows the average power compsumption of the CPU? (kW/h)
[09:23] <crizzy> faLUCE: powertop shows something
[09:26] <amanATdesk> Also, out of gnome 3 shell and unity 3d, which would you guys say is the quicker and less resource hungry? I've used both and although I like the look of them I would appreciate it more if they were nippier.
[09:26] <faLUCE> crizzy: it doesn't show the power in watt
[09:27] <dani_> hey
[09:27] <dani_> boys
[09:29] <prashs> http://paste.ubuntu.com/860281/
[09:29] <prashs> Jordan_U : Thats the link!!
[09:30] <prashs> Jordan_U : 59GB partition is the one were ubuntu is installed
[09:31] <almoxarife> prashs Jordan_U, wubi istalled ubuntu here /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
[09:32] <yawstick_1> I deleted the status bar at the bottom where minimized programs usually show
[09:32] <theadmin> prashs: Ok, in that partition, there is a file ubuntu/disks/root.disk. loopmount it and grab your files
[09:32] <yawstick_1> using ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop
[09:33] <yawstick_1> now if i minimize a program cant get it back
[09:34] <wookienz_> hi, i am trying t remote into my ubuntu box from my ubuntu laptop but i seem to have view only priv even though ihave allowed full access. any ideas?
[09:34] <windowss> hi
[09:35] <almoxarife> prashs: Jordan_U: theadmin: i suggest you all read this, especially the very end of the blog, http://www.omaregan.com/?p=608
[09:35] <theadmin> almoxarife: I know how wubi works, thanks lol
[09:36] <pengw> where i can find a hacking channel ?
[09:37] <Jordan_U> prashs: Those two outputs taken together seem impossible to me at the moment. I may be too tired to help.
[09:37] <almoxarife> theadmin: if you did you would know that the 'wubidldr' fix is the one that works, i know, i used it many times after going the circles with livecd!
[09:37] <pengw> or  a assembly language channel ?
[09:37] <theadmin> pengw: If you mean "hacking" as in "gaining access to a system with unauthorized means", it's offtopic on Freenode
[09:38] <Jordan_U> prashs: The thing that is confusing me is that you have an msdos partition table with 4 primary partitions, yet you somehow *also* have partittions 5 and 6 on the same drive. Maybe I'll be able to help you tomorrow when I'm more awake.
[09:38] <BlueWolf> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I would Like to know how to add a new Log on screen?
[09:39] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Um, huh? (s)he only has 4 partitions according to parted output
[09:40] <prashs> Jordan_U : Sure, thanks !! :) Will check the loopmount and the wubildr method till then :) Thanks for your help !!
[09:40] <Jordan_U> theadmin: Yes, but look at the blkid output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/860276/
[09:41] <theadmin> Jordan_U: ...Weirdness. I can only guess that wubi creates fake partitions. Not sure though.
[09:41] <theadmin> ...though they're all ntfs
[09:42] <theadmin> Odd.
[09:42] <BlueWolf> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I would Like to know how to add a new Log on screen? Help
[09:42] <almoxarife> theadmin: wubi created partion /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
[09:42] <zaufi> hi all! I'm trying to setup my repository for amd64 oneiric, but apt-get update trying to access binary-i386 dir on target server (wich is definitely amd64!) -- anyone have idea WHY???
[09:43] <prashs> theadmin : mount says Input/Output error.  That's part of the LiveCD/USB.
[09:45] <prashs> sudo mount -o loop /media/D498B8AF98B8920A/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /vdisk/
[09:45] <theadmin> prashs: That looks about right to me
[09:46] <almoxarife> Jordan_U: perhaps, but it is what wubi also creates /dev/loop0
[09:46] <theadmin> prashs: Yes, it does look like it's corrupted then :(
[09:46] <theadmin> almoxarife: We're not currently in a wubi setup, so that node has nothing to do with wubi
[09:46] <Jordan_U> almoxarife: Yes. They both use loop mounting.
[09:46] <prashs> theadmin : Hmm. So must be corrupted? :-o
[09:47] <Jordan_U> prashs: Does the directory /vdisk/ exist?
[09:47] <theadmin> prashs: Probably, check the path though (I don't exactly remember whether wubi uses american or brithish spelling (i.e. "disk" or "disc")
[09:47] <prashs> Jordan_U : I created one manually
[09:48] <almoxarife> prashs: before you completely trash your install follow the directions of the blog, you can always get all script-kiddie with it if that simple fix does not work, or not, i am done
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: should be disk, disc is a removable media :)

[09:49] <pengw> hi all
[09:49] <prashs> almoxarife : ya sure. wubildr replacement is the next step. But it looks like root.dsk is corrupted right? So replacing it , will it have effect on root.dsk. :-/ Both are like independent to each other rigt
[09:49] <pengw> I have  a problem
[09:50] <pengw> I try to install my ubuntu on a usb stick
[09:50] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Remember /dev/discs? :P
[09:50] <almoxarife> prashs: no, the corruption is on the windows side
[09:50] <lyscer> I am seeing the following in my mail.info log, any idea how to resolve it? certificate verification failed for aspmx.l.google.com[<IP_ADDRESS>]:25: untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
[09:51] <prashs> almoxarife : So why am i unable to mount root.dsk in Ubuntu now? :(
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: looks like some WRT thing
[09:51] <prashs> theadmin : Path exist
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> pengw: use unetbootin
[09:52] <pengw> thx
[09:52] <almoxarife> prashs: follow the instructions on the blog link, its a simple replacement of one file!, then we can play ifs
[09:52] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: There used to be /dev/discs/disc0/part3 => /dev/sda4 style stuff in /dev earlier. Old though. Not so sure what was responsible for those either (udev? hal? kernel?... idk)
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> pengw: remember to MD5 test the ISO too
[09:52] <prashs> almoxarife : He he..ya sure.. brb...will do that and come :)
[09:52] <sudipta> how to recover the user  password in ubuntu from login shell?
[09:52] <BlueWolf> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I would Like to know how to add a new Log on screen? Can anyone help please?
[09:52] <almoxarife> prashs: fine
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: wasn't aware of that
[09:52] <theadmin> sudipta: You can't really recover it, you can change it though
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: you mean a new background image?
[09:53] <sudipta> theadmin:how?
[09:53] <theadmin> !password | sudipta
[09:53] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip, Ya for the Log in Menu.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: i always used this: http://becouz.net/tips-to-change-your-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid.html
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: remember to run the last command when you log back in
[09:55] <big_balls_2> hello, uh, I want to configure the listbox where it says "Ubuntu" , "Ubuntu Classic" , "KDE" etc
[09:55] <big_balls_2> I can't seem to find the file on disk where this happens
[09:55] <big_balls_2> any ideas ?
[09:56] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: And it will take me through everything?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: yes..
[09:56] <theadmin> big_balls_2: Stuff under /usr/share/xsessions/ for oneiric and later
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: basically, it makes the wallpaper chooser run on the login screen which is dead handy. You can also change the colour of the login box in the same dialogue
[09:59] <myjimmyweb> anyone know how to enable mbstrings via apt-get?
[09:59] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip:  I have another problem - I was installing themes to see which one would suit me and I was mixing and matching. I then removed all of the themes to add a new one and its saying this; Installation for theme "Overglossed" failed. Can't move directory over directory. What does this mean?
[09:59] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Looking at the "lucid", I take it this guide would only work for pre-Oneiric releases, though.
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: indeed, but the user is using Lucid so its all groovy
[10:00] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah k
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: no idea, I theme very little. Doesn't interest me. Sorry
[10:02] <theadmin> How do you pronounce "oneiric" anyway? Where's the stressed syllable? "onEyrik"? "Oneyrik"? "one-E-rik"?
[10:02] <prashs> almoxarife : Sadly ,it dint work
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> on-E-i-rik  here
[10:02] <big_balls_2> theadmin: I'm on 11.04
[10:02] <big_balls_2> theadmin: is that natty ?
[10:03] <theadmin> big_balls_2: Yeah.
[10:03] <almoxarife> prashs: brought you back to the same place?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> http://www.thefreedictionary.com/oneiric    seems to be o-ny-rik
[10:03] <theadmin> big_balls_2: Oh, apparently it's the same directory though
[10:03] <llutz> theadmin: "e-leven-ten"
[10:03] <theadmin> llutz: Heheh
[10:03] <lyscer> I am trying to forward mail sent to my domain and it it forwarded to a google account; It isn't working and the log says "untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority" I've googled and I am stumped
[10:04] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/oneiric   yep, it's o-ny-rick
[10:04] <prashs> almoxarife : Copied that wubildr file. Pasted in the place where i installed ubuntu and replaced already existing file. Thats it right? If so, brought me to grub :(
[10:05] <myjimmyweb> anyone? mbstrings?
[10:05] <|DM|> this goddamned channel is always pinging me.
[10:05] <almoxarife> prashs: no, thats not where it belongs, you would have replaced the existing "wubildr" with the copied one
[10:05] <BlueWolf>
[10:06] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the Assist
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: np man
[10:06] <theadmin> prashs: The wubildr file is in the root of the partition you "installed" ubuntu to iirc
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: considering the login screen is around for at most 4 seconds. I don't see the point in changing it personally
[10:08] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: What if (s)he has a 250-character-long password and types it for half an hour? People have their reasons ;)
[10:08] <prashs> existing wubildr?  But it looks better none the less.  :D
[10:08] <prashs> where the device mounted is 59GB memory space where ubuntu is installed
[10:09] <almoxarife> prashs: looks like you did something with a live cd?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> prashs: mounty may be able to mount it in GUI for you
[10:11] <Leonessa> ciao a tutti, nessuno scrive italiano?
[10:11] <DJones> !it | Leonessa
[10:11] <prashs> 59 GB hard disk space , where i installed ubuntu, was chosen from places. Thats why it appeared in media as D498B8AF98B8920A
[10:12] <Leonessa> grazie e scusate
[10:12] <almoxarife> prashs: did you replace the file in c:/ ?
[10:13] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: What did I do wrong? - mv: cannot stat `/home/byron/The': No such file or directory
[10:13] <BlueWolf> mv: cannot stat `Blue': No such file or directory
[10:13] <theadmin> BlueWolf: If you haz spaces in the name, you have to quote it, like this: '/home/byron/The Blue/'
[10:13] <zykotick9> BlueWolf: if you have spaces either A) "put double quotes around it" or B) escape\ the\ spaces
[10:14] <theadmin> Or yeah escape, though that's a bit difficult
[10:14] <prashs> almoxarife : I am right now in Ubuntu live OS. that 59GB is nothing but C: in windows
[10:14] <BlueWolf> mv: cannot stat `Wolf.jpg': No such file or directory
[10:14] <BlueWolf>
[10:14] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: What did I do wrong?
[10:15] <theadmin> BlueWolf: You were just told. If the filename/path has spaces, it has to be either 'single-quoted', "double-quoted" or escaped\ like\ this
[10:15] <almoxarife> prashs: is there some reason why you cant make the correction as shown in the blog http://www.omaregan.com/?p=608 , as stated?
[10:15] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Sorry how?  -   sudo mv ~/The Blue Wolf.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:16] <theadmin> BlueWolf: sudo mv "~/The Blue Wolf.jpg" "/usr/share/backgrounds" # Basically
[10:17] <theadmin> BlueWolf: You may also use the Tab key to complete filenames: sudo mv ~/The<tab> /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:18] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Is it correct? sudo mv ~/The "Blue" "Wolf.jpg" /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:18] <theadmin> BlueWolf: No... I just stated how: sudo mv "~/The Blue Wolf.jpg" /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:18] <prashs> almoxarife : I did replace  in  the path i told.. found another wubildr file in C: :D similar mistake was pointed out in te blog. Will replace the C:\wubildr and check :)
[10:18] <theadmin> BlueWolf: Quotes around the whole name, not parts of it
[10:18] <almoxarife> prashs: Don't try to open the file. Move the file to "C:\" to replace the faulty "C:\wubildr". (to get to "C:\" go to "My Computer" or "Computer" and double click the "C:drive")
[10:19] <BlueWolf>
[10:19] <prashs> almoxarife : be right back
[10:19] <prashs> almoxarife : Ya thats what i am going to do
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: your file has a space in it which needs escaping, you don't actually need to move the file either
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> I've seen lots of guides for speeding up ubuntu by installing the preload package, does this actually make things faster or is it a hangup from older reelases??
[10:21] <Guest9068> I am new here can anybody help me?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: ask away
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> !info preload
[10:22] <Guest9068> ActionParsnip, can you please get me on the track?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: not without details....
[10:23] <theadmin> Guest9068: What is your problem?
[10:24] <Guest9068> I am new to linux and this kind of chart, I just do not know anything. help will be highly appreciated
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: I suggest you just use the OS and get a feel for it
[10:25] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: i use preload, i believe it does help
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: sweet, cheers dude
[10:25] <theadmin> Guest9068: Well, what do you need help with anyway?
[10:25] <prashs> almoxarife : that just brought up one change. instead of grub> i see now as sh:grub> thats it :(
[10:25] <daggs123> hello, I'm using kubuntu 10.04, I've added lucid partner to the sources but I cannot find packages from that source, why?
[10:25] <georgieee> how can I start nautilus after "killall" without having the home folder opened?
[10:26] <Guest9068> I need to create a user name just like you guys
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> !register | Guest9068
[10:26] <theadmin> georgieee: nautilus --no-default-window
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest9068: you need to use the nick command to grab a free nick, then register it. By default your client will use your username
[10:27]  * MonkeyDust ruined ubuntu 3D
[10:27] <jnwhiteh> So, my Thinkpad has this lovely 'feature'. If I press any four keys on the same row in succession (such as 4567) then it produces an earsplitting beep in my headphones. I've removed pcspkr, I've muted it in almamixer, nothing seems to get rid of it.
[10:28] <jnwhiteh> Here's an article about removing it on Windows, but I can't find an Ubuntu solution: http://www.intelliot.com/2006/12/thinkpad-keyboard-beeps-fixed/
[10:28] <qbitza> Hi Guys, can anyone help with Reminna?
[10:28] <georgieee> theadmin thanks!
[10:28] <qbitza> Remmina even
[10:29] <theadmin> georgieee: np. The opposite of this command is "nautilus --no-desktop" by the way (start the filemanager, but don't attempt to manage the desktop)
[10:29] <qbitza> Reinstalled the package and now RDP plugin is missing
[10:29] <qbitza> even though Synaptic says it's there
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> qbitza: try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install remmina
[10:30] <qbitza> ActionParsnip, perhaps with all the plugin packages too?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> qbitza: have you tried tsclient?
[10:30] <qbitza> ActionParsnip, yes, but I prefer Remmina, as it also includes NX
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> i see
[10:31] <qbitza> ActionParsnip, Also Remmina does a better full screen / windowed RDP than tsclient
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> or rdesktop maybe..
[10:31] <Mayazcherquoi> Soo, umm, how do I enable restricted software again? :S
[10:31] <almoxarife> prashs: now i would consider root.disk corrupt, and root.disk is a file in windows, so you need to ask your self if its worth the time to repair or re-install, you could keep root.disk by saving it to else-where and then bringing it back into the folder after a fresh install by another name
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: which software?
[10:31] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Wireless drivers
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: for broadcom wifi you mean?
[10:32] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: I have no idea what card is in this machine. I believe so, though.
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: run:   sudo lshw -C network     does it say: Broadcom 43xx
[10:32] <Mayazcherquoi> The last 10 installs it WiFi seemed to work fine.
[10:33] <maahes> can't remember the name of the command which searches the network for ip's.
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> maahes: nmap
[10:34] <almoxarife> !info zenmap
[10:34] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Nevermind, for some reason my hardware wireless switch was off :)
[10:34] <Kartagis> !grub2
[10:35] <maahes> nmap, from what I can tell needs me to specify a target IP
[10:35] <maahes> or rather: how to I get nmap to just look for ip's t might be able to connect to?
[10:35] <llutz> maahes: nmap-sP  <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> maahes: it can scan ranges
[10:36] <llutz> maahes: use your actual network-range
[10:36] <llutz> and add a space nmap -sP
[10:36] <tm_> hi. how do i prevent apparmor messages appearing in dmesg? it is so annoying
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> !details| tm_
[10:42] <wolfric> Reading package lists... Done
[10:42] <wolfric> W: GPG error: http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:42] <maahes> damn, I'm plugged into my wife's time machine, which is plugged into the router, which is plugged into the cable modem. I'm getting nothing on <IP_ADDRESS> nor <IP_ADDRESS>, anyone know the default ip for time machines?
[10:42] <tm_> ok.. running beta of 12.04. apparmor logs profile-updates to kern.log (i.e. dmesg)
[10:42] <wolfric> not a new install or anything
[10:43] <llutz> tm_: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04
[10:43] <nesta> hy
[10:44] <tm_> iirc the problem is not 12.04-specific
[10:44] <theadmin> tm_: Still, 12.04 is unsupported here. Fixes which work for Oneiric might fail on Precise and vice versa.
[10:45] <tm_> theadmin: s/12.04/11.10/ a solution for oneiric would be ok for me at first
[10:45] <llutz> tm_: check rsyslogd.conf, /etc/rsyslog.d/*
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> tm_: regardless, the release is still not supported here at all until release day
[10:46] <tm_> ActionParsnip: regardless, assume i said 11.10
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> tm_: it doesn't work like that
[10:46] <tm_> what *work*?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> tm_: this channel supports Lucid to Oneiric inclusive, not Precise until release day
[10:47] <tm_> i mean somewhere in the system apparmor is configured to output stuff to kern.log which i highly doubt is 12.04-specific
[10:48] <boba88> hi, could someone help me to figure out if my normal user has all the user rights that it should have... it is weird i need root access for some stuff that i did not need before
[10:48] <llutz> tm_: " s/12.04/11.10/ " nice try but too late. just repect the rules here and ask in #ubuntu+1
[10:50] <zykotick9> boba88: most rights are determined through group memberships, in a terminal type "groups" and you'll get a list of the groups your user is in.  admin, and plugdev are important (as are several more)
[10:51] <boba88> zykotick9: adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
[10:51] <zykotick9> boba88: that appears ok to me (but i can't confirm).  What are you having issues doing exactly?
[10:52] <MonkeyDust> boba88  basically, you need sudo for anything outside /home
[10:52] <zykotick9> is boba88 missing a sound/audio group above?  or anything else?
[10:52] <tm_> ok found it - just for the record and if anyone tries to solve this in april, it is not configured in rsyslog* but in apparmor.d
[10:52] <boba88> zykotick9: for example i could not svn check out without sudo ... and now the folder is root only
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> boba88: strange you are not in the group which is your own username...
[10:53] <oscarhx> hi\
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> tm_: could report a bug
[10:53] <theadmin> zykotick9, MonkeyDust, boba88, ActionParsnip: The "power" and "users" groups are not used on Ubuntu, right?
[10:53] <zykotick9> boba88: as soon as you sudo'ed it, i'm sure it would become root only
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> boba88: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[10:54] <boba88> zykotick9: yes, and then if i need to launch program with eclipse.. it requires also sudo
[10:54] <tm_> a bug? no definitely not - this seems to be intended. one just has to know
[10:54] <zykotick9> boba88: use gksudo for any GUI stuff
[10:54] <boba88> ActionParsnip: oneiric
[10:54] <boba88> zykotick9: what do you mean use gksudo
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> boba88: I don't have a power group here.Is that something you added?
[10:55] <boba88> ?
[10:55] <zykotick9> boba88: never use sudo with a GUI application, use gksudo instead
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo
[10:55] <cancer> Almoxarife /are you there?
[10:55] <boba88> ActionParsnip: for example eclipse should be with gksudo eclipse?
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> boba88: if it is a graphical app, yes. If it sits in the terminal then use sudo
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> boba88: technically you can use gksudo for both if you want :)
[10:56] <boba88> ActionParsnip: it is an IDE with graphical interface
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> boba88: then use gksudo
[10:56] <boba88> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[10:57] <cancer> ActionParsnip: hi, i have downloaded kubuntu 11.10. Now which is best to use virtualbox or wubi
[10:57] <cancer> ?
[10:57] <theadmin> boba88: Why do you need to run Eclipse as root at all?
[10:57] <boba88> ActionParsnip: but overall i am not sure if my user rights are ok
[10:57] <theadmin> cancer: Virtualbox is much more of a natural environment. Wubi installs break too often
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> cancer: I'd go with virtualbox, I'm not a fan of wubi
[10:58] <boba88> theadmin: because my projected had to be checked with sudo svn co and then i do not have access to it as a normal user so neither eclipse run without sudo
[10:58] <futilius> I have a computer that won't start any live CD distro, but I remember I turned off some kernel features on the command line and it worked. anyone have an idea what those could be?
[10:58] <theadmin> boba88: ...you just had to change access rights for the project files, not run eclipse with sudo
[10:58] <boba88> theadmin: how can i change the rights ?
[10:58] <cancer> theadmin: Iso will work with both wubi & virtualbox? i am using Xp as well, so how to work with virtualbox?
[10:59] <boba88> chmod?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> boba88: you sure you aren't running BSD of some form?
[10:59] <theadmin> cancer: Install Virtualbox, use it...
[10:59] <theadmin> cancer: It has an interface anyone can easily understand
[10:59] <theadmin> boba88: chmod
[10:59] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: What makes you think of BSD?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> cancer: virtualbox can mount ISOs as is. Be sure you MD5 test it.
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/upt/ch22_13.htm
[11:00] <boba88> theadmin: so just "chmod" on the folder
[11:00] <boba88> ActionParsnip: what do you mean by running BSD?
[11:00] <theadmin> boba88: No, you change ownership in this case: sudo chown -R your_username:your_username folderpath
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> boba88: its a separate branch of free opensource OS, the 'power' group seems to be used by it
[11:01] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: So... what in that is so BSD-specific that boba88 has?
[11:01] <NyLes> what i am missing? I've tried glxgears and 53 FPS is the highest :(
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: the 'power' group you mentioned
[11:01] <cancer> ActionParsnip: i'm actually confused about virtual box. in wubi it installed my last ubuntu in seperate partition. that's the point virtualbox brings confusion.
[11:01] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: The "power" group is used by many Linux distros to allow normal users to poweroff the system (used in Gentoo at least), but I don't think Ubuntu uses that.
[11:02] <theadmin> cancer: Virtualbox creates a virtual hard drive in a file, just like Wubi, but it does it properly
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> cancer: wubi installs ubuntu to a disk file which is then loop mounted at boot. Virtualbox install to a similar file but is accessed inside windows so yourun both OSes at the same time
[11:02] <cancer> ActionParsnip: and what to do with md5?
[11:02] <boba88> theadmin: why do i need "boba88:boba88" and not only "boba88" for the user
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> cancer: you should test the ISO you have to see if it is complete and consistant. MD5 testing does that
[11:03] <theadmin> boba88: user:group
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> boba88: so that it gives the group ownership to your user too
[11:03] <NyLes> please help me..
[11:03] <boba88> ActionParsnip: theadmin thanks
[11:04] <bazhang> NyLes, help with what
[11:04] <cancer> ActionParsnip: ISO just downloaded. how to md5 test.
[11:04] <bazhang> NyLes, what video card do you have
[11:04] <NyLes> bazhang: I've tried glxgears and the highest FPS is only 53.. what am i missing?
[11:04] <theadmin> !md5 | cancer
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> !md5
[11:04] <bazhang> cancer, take a look at the link above
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> yay new pci usb arrived ust now :)
[11:05] <NyLes> bazhang: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M
[11:05] <bazhang> NyLes, that is a very old card?
[11:05] <theadmin> bazhang: Seems like so :D
[11:05] <NyLes> bazhang: yeah I think?
[11:05] <bazhang> NyLes, so probably not going to get very high score on glxgears
[11:07] <NyLes> bazhang: I'm reading this thread; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11365 he reached 500FPS :(
[11:07] <boba88> ActionParsnip: that worked out.. i have access now... but then i have the following problem: when i do svn up and then i get Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring:
[11:07] <boba88> ActionParsnip: i type my user passwd and it does not work
[11:07] <NyLes> bazhang: or the version of Ubuntu matters?
[11:08] <boba88> ActionParsnip: authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://xp-dev.com)
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> boba88: the gnome keyring password can be different to your logon password
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> boba88: svn is not something
[11:08] <boba88> ActionParsnip: what is the gnome keyring passwd used for?
[11:09] <wookienz_> how do i kick an old nick that is still logged on?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> boba88: storing password for ftp servers and suchlike
[11:09] <NyLes> bazhang: when i tried this; glxinfo | grep 's3tc\|direct'.. it says direct rendering: No..
[11:09] <boba88> ActionParsnip: it is not my personal computer.... someone else set a user for me i use it
[11:10] <boba88> ActionParsnip: or does it have to do with the wallet
[11:10] <theadmin> wookienz_: ghost
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> mental note to self: "help yourself and you will be helped"
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> boba88: you can still store accounts as yourown user
[11:10] <boba88> ActionParsnip: that stores the master passed
[11:10] <bazhang> NyLes, I seriously doubt you can get high scores with such a old card. hardware limitations. you could ask in #compiz , I suppose
[11:11] <boba88> ActionParsnip: but then what is the gnome passwd when i have not set it
[11:11] <bazhang> wookienz_, it's release, ask in #freenode for more help
[11:11] <wookienz> theadmin, thnks
[11:11] <cncer> ActionParsnip: theadmin: MD5 are same
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> cncer: then the image is good
[11:11] <cncer> ActionParsnip: theadmin: what about virtualbox versions?
[11:11] <theadmin> cncer: Ok good, then just go to Virtualbox and feed it to it
[11:11] <NyLes> bazhang: Ok thanks,, last question, when I tried lshw -c video, what is the meaning of UNCLAIMED there?
[11:12] <theadmin> cncer: Get the latest version
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> cncer: head to the virtualbox website and download the app and install.
[11:12] <rabbi1> how to install ttf-aefonts and ttf-gentium
[11:12] <wookienz> what NFS options do i need sot here is no UID GID permission issues?
[11:12] <rabbi1> how to install ttf-aefonts and ttf-gentium  on ubuntu 11.04 ?
[11:12] <sharpK> how can I run a shell script from SSH as it would run if I were to double click it in usr/bin/?
[11:13] <wookienz> sharpK, "./scriptname"
[11:13] <wookienz> sharpK, ./path/scriptname
[11:13] <sharpK> wookienz, it's returning an error and not openning the program, whereas doubleclicking that shell script opens it up (XBMC)
[11:13] <boba88> ActionParsnip: and for example when i type sudo svn up.. then the kde wallet application starts
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !info ttf-aefonts
[11:13] <wookienz> lvoe that prog!
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> boba88: i don't use svn, as I said earlier.
[11:14] <auronandace> !find ttf
[11:14] <boba88> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[11:14] <wookienz> sharpK, "./usr/bin/xbmc" work
[11:14] <wookienz> ?
[11:15] <cncer> ActionParsnip: Virtualbox linux host or windows host?
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> !info ttf-aenigma

[11:15] <sharpK> Error: unable to open display
[11:15] <sharpK> FEH.py: cannot connect to X server
[11:15] <sharpK> is the error that gives me, same for jsut "xbmc", and other variations..
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> cncer: windows host, as your Windows OS is going to host the Linux guest
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> cncer  i use vbox, what are you trying to do or achieve?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: seems its been renamed ttf-aenigma according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/ttf-aenigma/0.0.20080510.dfsg-1
[11:16] <theadmin> sharpK: Is X running at all?
[11:16] <sharpK> theadmin not sure what that means?
[11:17] <theadmin> sharpK: Are you running this command from a graphical terminal application or real (fullscreen) console?
[11:17] <kbringard> hey guys, quick ? about preseed in 11.04
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> sharpK  are you trying to run graphical apps, or command line?
[11:17] <cncer> ActionParsnip: monkeydust: i'm running Xp and want to use both OS normaly.
[11:17] <sharpK> theadmin I am SSHing (putty from a windows box) into an ubuntu box...
[11:17] <kbringard> it seems that when I select atomic as the partman recipe it's now creating / and /home, the way the home recipe used to work
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> cncer: define 'normally'
[11:17] <kbringard> am I doing something wrong?
[11:17] <theadmin> sharpK: Ah. Do you want to start XBMC on the windows box or on Ubuntu?
[11:17] <sharpK> on the ubuntu box
[11:18] <theadmin> sharpK: Cool. Run: DISPLAY=:0 xbmc
[11:18] <sharpK> as it does run when I double click the xbmc shellscript in /usr/bin
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: XBMC is not supported here
[11:18] <sacarlson> sharpK: maybe pastebin the script that is run.  the script should have a line like ssh -X user@host:/pathtoappname
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> sharpK  then  you have to forward X somewhere in the putty preferences
[11:18] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: thanks, is there a way, where i can find all fonts for ubuntu in one page
[11:18] <cncer> ActionParsnip: XP is my command Center for now, maybe will change when i become well familiar with kubuntu. so i am aware that no harm cause to xp.
[11:18] <sharpK> theadmin that did it indeed, thanks....
[11:18] <theadmin> sharpK: np
[11:19] <wookienz> it hink sharpK is running it connected to a t as opposed to running it though th ssh connection
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: it's changed name to ttf-aenigma which is in the repos, which is why ubottu responded when I asked her to...
[11:19] <cncer> MonkeyDust: ActionParsnip: VirtualBox 4.1.8 for Windows hosts <--- Finally i'm downloading this.
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> cncer: its a good way to try the OS, although all the hardware is virtualized it will still run
[11:19] <sharpK> so whenever I launch a graphical application from SSH I need to include the display selector?
[11:19] <theadmin> sharpK: Pretty much so, or just do "export DISPLAY=:0" first and then run commands as normally
[11:19] <theadmin> sharpK: -as
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: if you want it to run on the server's display, yes.Otherwise it will display on the system you launch it via X forwarding
[11:20] <sharpK> ActionParsnip ahhh, that makes sense...
[11:20] <wookienz> X forwarding, cool!
[11:20] <sharpK> theadmin thanks for the knowledge, will try to add that to my repertoire...
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> wookienz: dead handy, especially media players.So the sound comes out of the remote system but shows on the client :)
[11:21] <wookienz> who can tackle my NFS prob. what mapping do i need so i dont have UID GID permissions problems.
[11:21] <cncer> ActionParsnip: i have a single drive & have made 3 partitions of it. my Active drive (C:) have only 1-2 G.B left. so i want to ask from where Virtual Box will use space?
[11:21] <wookienz> ActionParsnip, cool trick.
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> cncer: virtualbox won't use a partition. It installs to a file
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> a .vdi file
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> cncer: by default it will install to somewhere inside %profile%
[11:22] <cncer> ActionParsnip: where will it install file?
[11:22] <theadmin> cncer: You will be able to choose
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> cncer: wherever you downloaded it to
[11:23] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: Not necessarily, VirtualBox supports many virtual HD formats (VDI, VHD, Parallels' HDD and some other one)
[11:23] <theadmin> Ah, VMDK
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> theadmin  i know that, but tnx :)
[11:23] <dr_willis> no one ever reads the vbox manual.  :)
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> the vbow whàt? ;)
[11:23] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: It also supports real hard drives/partitions
[11:24] <kbringard> everything I'm reading tells me if my partman recipe in preseed is set to atomic it should put everything on one partition… did this change recently, or am I just being dumb?
[11:24] <cncer> theadmin: ActionParsnip: I'm confused again. installing virtual box is not my issue. i am asking about kubuntu space....? sorry if it my fault that i'm not understanding. (not good in english)
[11:24] <jsoft> How are usb devices mounted? What process does this? Obviously must be some kind of priviledged process?
[11:24] <theadmin> cncer: Basically. VirtualBox uses a file on your hard drive, anywhere you want, to "store" the "hard drive" of the guest (your Ubuntu install)
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> cncer: like I said, it will install to a file in your users my docs some place
[11:25] <nixmaniack> My WiFi doesn't autoconnect after reboot or waking up from sleep. here's the syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/860366/
[11:25] <auronandace> cncer: you can configure where virtualbox stores the virtual harddrive images
[11:25] <theadmin> jsoft: Automount is handled by gvfs, which does it via dbus
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> cncer: it installs to a file which is treated as a 'disk'
[11:25] <cncer> ActionParsnip: theadmin: can one of you please give exact link to virtual box.
[11:26] <theadmin> cncer: You already downloaded it, no?
[11:26] <cncer> theadmin: not virtual box but kubuntu.
[11:26] <theadmin> cncer: You already have the ISO too...
[11:27] <dr_willis> !vbox
[11:27] <cncer> theadmin: I have download ISO, i'm asking for virtual box link:
[11:27] <theadmin> cncer: Um, you will use this ISO for Virtualbox as well.
[11:27] <theadmin> cncer: Bah, give me a sec, I'll just record a video -_-
[11:27] <auronandace> cncer: download virtualbox for windows from the virtualbox website
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> cncer: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe   its on the website link which ubutu gave, this is basic stuff you know....
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> gone
[11:32] <cancer_> theadmin: download started from this link. http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe
[11:32] <cancer_> theadmin: just want to confirm, i'm doing the right thing
[11:33] <auronandace> cancer: yes
[11:33] <cancer_> auronandace: thanks :)
[11:33] <JRambo> Please help me with this superquick user test, it's just 1 click! Results will be published on @michelkusters and in this channel in an hour! http://www.solidifyapp.com/p/113
[11:33] <bazhang> JRambo, dont spam
[11:34] <JRambo> bazhang. it's really not spam - really interesting.. i'll share the results
[11:35] <bazhang> JRambo, its nothing to do with ubuntu support dont do  it
[11:35] <jsoft> theadmin: hmmm, so whats the process? device gets plugged in, and dbus notifies gvfs?
[11:35] <lulz87> ubuntu found and install sound drivers for my card, but sound is silenced
[11:35] <theadmin> jsoft: Not so sure.
[11:35] <lulz87> when i set on max, the sound is 50% silent then before on windows
[11:36] <jsoft> dbus is just a message routing gizmo though right?
[11:36] <jsoft> doesnt do anything beyond that?
[11:37] <bazhang> lulz87, whats pcm set to in alsamixer
[11:37] <cancer> auronandace: i don't see this Nick > "almoxarife" in list. is he off today.
[11:38] <auronandace> cancer: if the nick isn't in the list then he likely isn't here
[11:38] <Mayazcherquoi> Umm guys.
[11:38] <Mayazcherquoi> All of my text went white..
[11:38] <cancer> auronandace: just want to know do he come here in daily routine?
[11:39] <auronandace> cancer: no idea, you could check the chat logs
[11:40] <bazhang> !1984 | cancer
[11:40] <cancer> auronandace: ok thanks
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: in what app? or is it all the desktop?
[11:40] <wookienz> !seen almoxarife
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Everything
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: if you log off and on, is it ok?
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Nope. Not even after a restart
[11:41] <tgywa> Hi
[11:41] <lulz87> bazhang: pcm 18<>18
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: :-/
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Mayazcherquoi  start from the beginning, what have you done and tried before you came here

[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Mayazcherquoi  what ubuntu version?
[11:42] <bazhang> lulz87, whats the max setting for pcm then. drop it down to around 80-85%
[11:43] <Mayazcherquoi> MonkeyDust: Oneiric.
[11:43] <bluefrog> tgywa, find /path/to/files* -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;      should do the trick
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> Mayazcherquoi  in a terminal,  type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:43] <cancer> auronandace: do i need to change any setting while installing virtualbox.
[11:44] <ft_mn> Hi all... I have mounted the postfix mail server on a ubuntu box... So now I can sucessfuly send emails from my root account my real email adress.... Now how is it possible to send an email from my real email to the<EMAIL_ADDRESS>mail of mine?
[11:44] <Mayazcherquoi> MonkeyDust: I was just about to do an update via update manager (since it popped up after log in, still all white text :-/_
[11:45] <lulz87> bazhang: thank you very much!
[11:45] <lulz87> when i set pcm to 80 its good :D
[11:45] <lulz87> what about master mono sound, its on 35
[11:45] <lulz87> is that enough
[11:46] <Shakyj> is help.ubuntu.com having issues?
[11:46] <Shakyj> struggling to load pages

[11:55] <kahrn> my package manager is completely broken

[12:00] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | kahrn
[12:00] <theadmin> kahrn: Impossible. It's EOL, you can no longer use it, update to an up-to-date version (the oldest still supported one is Lucid, which is 10.04)
[12:01] <kahrn> but it says it's still supported until 2013
[12:01] <theadmin> kahrn: And by "update" I mean reinstall. Repos are down now
[12:01] <kahrn> I have 8.04 server
[12:01] <theadmin> kahrn: So, you're using the server edition?
[12:01] <kahrn> yes

[12:08] <theadmin> kahrn: huhwhat. I never encountered such an issue, sorry... (not an APT fan honestly, and never really had problems with APT when I did use it)
[12:08] <SubjectOne> oh that i didn't know
[12:08] <kahrn> ok :(
[12:08] <kahrn> thanks anyways.

[12:16] <ActionParsnip> gilmar: i'd ask in #mozilla    afaik, sunbird isn't developed anymore

[12:17] <fishcooker> hello fellas
[12:17] <dedicated1> could anyone help me explain what the differences are between a root user, su and sudo? I thought that is was the safest to make a seperate root user and a limited user, but now I have done that I lost my access to the sudoers file. any help is welcome
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> gilmar: last release was March 2010
[12:17] <fishcooker> i need backup my ubu*box..is there any sugestion.. actually i want to cloning it to another box
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: su is a command to switch users, if no name is given then root is assumed
[12:18] <fishcooker> any help or experience on this stuff would be appreciated
[12:18] <dedicated1> ty action
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: sudo will run commands as your user using your users locales and environment but will run with the same access as root
[12:18] <theadmin> !clone | fishcooker
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: root is the highest account and has free reign over the OS. The account is disabled by default in Ubuntu and you can become it if you run:  sudo -i
[12:19] <T_H_X> dedicated1: man su   and  man sudo  for detailed info
[12:19] <overdub> or: sudo su -
[12:19] <Scall> :exit
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> fishcooker  and backup your /home using rsync, after that use rsync again to copy it to the new machine
[12:19] <LjL> overdub: which is a bit like cat | grep
[12:20] <LjL> overdub: i.e. overkill
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: there is already a root user, it must exist in a Linux OS for it to work
[12:20] <BattlestarB> hi
[12:20] <overdub> LjL: point taken
[12:20] <BattlestarB> i have a problem with wireless
[12:20] <guest4875> do someone know how to take screenshot of lightdm ?
[12:20] <BattlestarB> please help me
[12:20] <gilmar> I am taking a look in the Lightning...
[12:20] <T_H_X> BattlestarB:  prtscrn button on keyboard
[12:20] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip: but what confuses me is that I can't remember entering a root password with the installation
[12:20] <nstridesout> i cant log onto my ubuntu 11.10 after upgrade
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: if you want to reset your password when you forget it, you can boot to root recover mode and run:  passwd name    and reset the password
[12:20] <BattlestarB> i will write my problem
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: there isn't one, that's why. Your first user can use sudo as it is in the 'admin' group. There is no root password and the account is disabled
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> guest4875  only thing that comes to my mind: run ubuntu in vbox and take a screenshot there
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: you can't possibly remember something that never happened. It makes no sense
[12:22] <BattlestarB> wireless doesn't work when enable it from laptop, i can see the led is open. If i restart computer, wireless is working!
[12:22] <spajderix> I've created partitions on 4 hard drives using same parameteres per each hdd, and I ended up having them everything identical including UUID's. Is it normal, or should I recreate those?
[12:23] <BattlestarB> anyone help me please!
[12:23] <guest4875> MonkeyDust: that is the way i thought too but looking for a different solution
[12:23] <ikasle> ifconfig ra0 or ifconfig wlan0
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> BattlestarB  you say it is working, how can we help?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: gone
[12:24] <fishcooker> theadmin, monkeydust thankyou for your quick response.. how about my configuration file like etc and also there is a partition on /usr/local?
[12:25] <mar3k> Hello, can someone tell me a channel where i can get help for video streaming
[12:25] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Some people lack the power to wait, huh?
[12:25] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip: There is no root password and the account is disabled <-- this confuses me. I can log in with the first created account, sudo would give me root access and I do that with the password of the first created account? is that right?
[12:25] <T_H_X> rage quit
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: yes, if you run:    su root    you will be asked for root's password, which doesn't exist
[12:26] <HaBS> Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my Desktop computer but it doesn't detect my Logitech MX 5500 Revolution Mouse/Keyboard, is there a way I can get Ubuntu to detect it?
[12:26] <T_H_X> if you run su alone it will also
[12:26] <HaBS> It's a wireless Mouse/Keyboard btw
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: when you use sudo you are asked for a password and you use your login password to authenticate
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  it's some parameter in grub
[12:26] <gr0bi> Hy there. http://lists.launchpad.net/ isn't reachable at the moment :(
[12:26] <gr0bi> is it?
[12:26] <brkolog> mar3k: did you try VLC channel
[12:27] <HaBS> MonkeyDust: What do you mean?
[12:27] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip: so if someone hacks my account he has root access right away?
[12:27] <T_H_X> su = superuser
[12:27] <HaBS> I can use the keyboard on the boot loader but once I get past that, I can't use it.
[12:27] <BattlestarB> Is there a way to index different partition for reachhing from unity dash?
[12:27] <shomon> hi, what is a good way to delete information in ubuntu - shred?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: if they get your password, yes
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: no
[12:27] <T_H_X> sudo = superuser do , and you need to be in the sudoers file to use that
[12:27] <Lord_D> shomon: yes
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: su = switch user
[12:28] <T_H_X> man su
[12:28] <LjL> dedicated1: if someone obtains your account's password, yes, but not if someone simply manages to be in your account in some other way
[12:28] <guest4875> gr0bi: yes it is
[12:28] <shomon> thanks Lord_D
[12:28] <dedicated1> ty THX
[12:28] <Lord_D> shomon: but that is a great way to do it in any unish system
[12:28] <BattlestarB> can i index d: partition in unity for fast search?
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: if you specify no account then root is assumed, you can su to any account on the OS
[12:28] <guest4875> !lightdm
[12:28] <T_H_X> yah
[12:29] <qwemo> How safe is it to use internet while installing a fresh Ubuntu??????? Can the info be hijacked and a malicious program get in????
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  you have to modify a line in the grub menu, i'm searching
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: therefore switch user, not super user
[12:29] <T_H_X> hehe
[12:29] <T_H_X> ok
[12:29] <T_H_X> change the man page
[12:29] <HaBS> Ahh alright thanks, let me know if you come up with anything.
[12:29] <Lord_D> another great way to delete data is to just sand it down using popey's sideburns
[12:29] <gr0bi> can someone bring lists.launchpad.net back online please? does anyone know how feels responsible for this mailing list?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: it doesn't need changing.It backs up what I said
[12:29] <T_H_X> kidding
[12:29] <T_H_X> NAME: su - change user ID or become superuser
[12:30] <T_H_X> cant se any mention of switch
[12:30] <shomon> Lord_D, what are good parameters? I'm just leaving my job so it's just in case someone messed with my data.. can I go "shred -u /home/bla/mail/* "
[12:30] <T_H_X> ;) anyway.. shutting up
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: read a littlemore
[12:30] <T_H_X> hehe
[12:30] <dedicated1> lol  THX
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> T_H_X: become another user during a login session. Invoked without a username, su defaults to becoming the superuser
[12:30] <ohs6ohQu> is compiz grid broken on ubuntu or did i misconfigure something? cycling through window sizes does not work with left and right positions, it works with other positions.
[12:30]  * T_H_X not saying nuttin
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  if you're skilled enough, you can search 'ubuntu touchpad grub'
[12:31] <qwemo> Excuse meeeeeee!!!!! How safe is it to install Ubuntu with all option checked meaning install with internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:31] <dedicated1> it's safer to use patience
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> qwemo: its fine but can cause issues.I'd ust get the OS installed then do the web stuff later
[12:31] <Kartagis> do you guys know a tool that is capable of checking broken links behind CAS?

[12:33] <kbringard> does anyone know why when I set my partman stuff to atomic in preseed, it's treating it like I set it to home?
[12:33] <kbringard> is this a known issue or am I doing something dumb?
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> kaddi: if that doesn't fix it, run:    wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
[12:33] <kaddi> ActionParsnip: that fixed it :)
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> HaBS  this was for ubuntu 9.10, maybe it's useful http://agoranetbook.kayno.net/2009/10/06/touchpad-configuration-for-ubuntu-9-10-grub-2/
[12:33] <fishcooker> is clonezilla can make image of my ubuntu-box?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> kaddi: cool, no need for the fixpackage script :)
[12:34] <kaddi> or not... reading is a complicated thing
[12:34] <kaddi> lol
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: yes it can make an image
[12:34] <HaBS> MonkeyDust: btw, this isn't a touchpad :P
[12:34] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: do you know a way to capture login screen on ubuntu ? not vbox
[12:35] <dedicated1> ActionParsnip and THX: last question, I removed admin on my main account, made a seperate admin account like in Windows. This seems to be useless and does not give me more protection over the default setup right? if that is right, then if I make my main account admin again does that add me to the sudoers file automaticly?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> guest4875: asI said earlier with imagemagick in CTRL+ALT+F1
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: is the new accouont in the admin group?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: you don't need to mess with the sudoers file
[12:35] <theadmin> dedicated1: The default sudoers file simply grants sudo priveleges to all members of the admin group.
[12:36] <dedicated1> okay :)
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> dedicated1: any account you want to give admin powers, just put them in the admin group and you are done
[12:36] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: haven't seen it.  could explaint it a bit more ?
[12:36] <dedicated1> and I was thinking having a user as admin was not so safe xD
[12:36] <dedicated1> main user that is

[12:37] <jogster> any ideas what might have happend to this guy?
[12:37] <theadmin> dedicated1: Not really, this ain't Windows, you'll be asked for your password for any admin tasks so you can't just do them accidentally.
[12:37] <kaddi> ActionParsnip: what would happen if I don't get the error message fixed (worse case scenario)
[12:37] <theadmin> jogster: Wrong channel
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> (12:14:22) ActionParsnip: guest4568: install imagemagick and on the login screen press CTRL+ALT+F1, log in and run:  sleep 20; import ~/shot.png     then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and wait.The cursor may change to a crosshair and you can select the section of the screen to shot
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> kaddi: about GPG keys, nothin really
[12:37] <_Marcus> jogster: Hit with a rock? I don't see how this is very related to Ubuntu.

[12:38] <liquidee> ive got a problem with setkeycodes command. when im trying to  map scancode to a free keycode the command executes with no problems, but the keycode isnt set in dumpkeys command
[12:38] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: thanks
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> guest4875: copy and paste is a wonderful thing
[12:40] <guest4875> ActionParsnip: yes it is : )  My laptop freezed an rebooted it i think you just wrote msg at that time : )
[12:47] <r44> I have A question what keyboaurd combination while booting start terminal mode
[12:47] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: How's that work anyway?... I mean, shouldn't "import" be informed of the x display when running from a tty?
[12:48] <kuldeepdhaka_>  help-----i installed Lubuntu on my thin client  1Ghz processor,5 gb [1gb internal + 4 gb external pendrive],521 mb ram,,,,installed lubuntu on pendrive...now it is not loading...only text mode can be seen by pressing atl+ctrl+f1
[12:48] <theadmin> !text | r44
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: it lets you select a region, you can tell it to use root and such and it will do the whole screen afaik
[12:48] <r44> thanks I am going to try this
[12:49] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: No no, I mean, shouldn't it be something like "DISPLAY=:0 import ~/foo.png"?
[12:49] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Since we are running from a tty that is
[12:49] <kuldeepdhaka_> help-----i installed Lubuntu on my thin client  1Ghz processor,5 gb [1gb internal + 4 gb external pendrive],521 mb ram,,,,installed lubuntu on pendrive...now it is not loading...only text mode can be seen by pressing atl+ctrl+f1
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: afaik, if you switch back quick it should work. Not tried it but makes sense in my head
[12:50] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: In mine it doesn't, since, uh, the DISPLAY variable is only auto-defined while running in X, and the command will be ran in the tty anyway
[12:53] <Django_Novice> hi there
[12:53] <tiger_> hello
[12:53] <Django_Novice> i need to kill process in bash script
[12:53] <Django_Novice> i tried but its not working
[12:53] <tiger_> use kill with process id
[12:53] <Django_Novice> ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep 'manage.py runfcgi' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
[12:53] <tiger_> kill -p
[12:53] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: try pkill
[12:54] <Django_Novice> thats what im tryin to do
[12:54] <llutz_> Django_Novice: you have to kill the parent python process
[12:54] <Django_Novice> let me try to use pkill
[12:54] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionparsnip, help me
[12:54] <theadmin> Django_Novice: pkill processname or killall processname will usually work
[12:55] <kbringard> anyone have time for a preseed question?
[12:56] <Django_Novice> theadmin: pkill not working as well
[12:56] <Django_Novice> theadmin; shall i paste my script
[12:56] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: pkill -o
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: what is on screen at boot?
[12:56] <T_H_X> fort oldest process
[12:56] <T_H_X> or it will try kill pkill
[12:57] <wolfric> http://pastebin.com/j3Y5WX6h gpg errors on apt-get update
[12:57] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionParsnip, asked for user name and password when i pressed alt+ctrl+f1
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: it should use lightdm, or lxdm
[12:57] <yawstick1> I deleted the status bar where minimized apps usually show...I added back bar but cant seem to gets minimized apps to show up
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
[12:58] <wolfric> ActionParsnip: why should i do that..?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> yawstick1: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[12:58] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: try pkill -of manage.py runfcgi
[12:58] <Django_Novice> theadmin: dpaste.org/58VAt/
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: it imports the keys you are missing, not obvious?
[12:59] <kuldeepdhaka_> ActionParsnip, i can see the logo of lubuntu at startup but then nothing loads so i press alt+ctrl+f1
[12:59] <T_H_X> Django_Novice: try pkill -of "manage.py runfcgi"
[12:59] <T_H_X> maybe
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: try the boot option:  nomodeset
[12:59] <wolfric> ActionParsnip: right but why should i have to do this
[12:59] <wolfric> ActionParsnip: not a new install and no updates/chagnes afaik.
[13:00] <theadmin> Django_Novice: You don't have to use "echo command" after each command, just change the crunchbang to #!/bin/bash -v
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: it authenticates the repo, so the system knows you wanted to add it rather than some script etc. Its not absolutely necessary but is handy to stop the package system moaning
[13:00] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionparsnip, direcly load Lubutnu with out showing grub menu,,,what should i do....
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka_: hold SHIFT at boot
[13:00] <kuldeepdhaka_> actionParsnip, ok
[13:04] <Django_Novice> k thanks

[13:31] <orville> good morning folks.
[13:31] <orville> does anyone here know how to turn off the reboot notification in ubuntu?
[13:32] <orville> I've installed ubuntu in a vps and am not using the kernel.
[13:32] <orville> the ubuntu kernel that is.
[13:32] <orville> so I don't need to reboot, but that motd notification annoys me :-)
[13:33] <Pici> orville: Take a look at the manapge for motd.tail, it should describe the steps that go into creating the motd so that you can customize/replace it.
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> orville: i know its a file somewhere, just cant remember where
[13:34] <orville> Pici: no man page for motd.tail or motd.
[13:35] <orville> and motd+shell's manpage is hardly helpful.
[13:35] <llutz_> orville: "apropos motd"
[13:36] <tiger_>  any idea about the openmp ?
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> orville: seems like a lot of effort for very little gain
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> orville: I have a clear command at the bottom of ~/.bashrc so when I log in via SSH I get a blank terminal
[13:37] <orville> ActionParsnip: seems that way. but this involves byobu not bash.
[13:38] <orville> there's an everpresent (R) at the bottom of my shell in the notification area for packages.
[13:38] <orville> it annoys me and I want it gone.
[13:38] <orville> also helps to get to know the innards of your system. ;-)
[13:39] <stephane_yaal> join #myelefant
[13:39] <stephane_yaal> oops! forget my post
[13:40] <orville> aha! /var/run/reboot-required
[13:42] <orville> oh! there's even a nifty reboot-required.pkgs that tells you which pkgs got installed requiring a reboot.
[13:42] <orville> very nifty.
[13:42] <orville> now instead of assuming that it was due to the kernel, i know it's actually because of libssl.
[13:43] <orville> ActionParsnip:  and this is why it's good to learn about your system.
[13:43] <orville> never be afraid to dig deep! you'd be amazed at what you can learn!
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> orville: i'm learning every day, just as you are
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> orville: dude, I help here nearly every day...
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> orville: I also have one of the highest karmas on launchpad.
[13:45] <trieuvi92> hi
[13:45] <nagarajan> how to install ubuntu..
[13:46] <nagarajan> on laptop
[13:46] <tensorpudding> nagarajan, do you have an ubuntu cd or dvd?
[13:46] <nagarajan> Yes.
[13:47] <tensorpudding> you put the disc in the drive of your laptop
[13:47] <tensorpudding> you reboot and see if it boots to the disc, if not you need to change your boot settings to boot from the drive your disc is in
[13:48] <tensorpudding> once it boots you follow the instructions of the installer
[13:48] <nagarajan> Ya did all those part.  Please guide me what to give, (/)  or some else
[13:48] <tensorpudding> what?
[13:48] <tensorpudding> i don't understand
[13:48] <orville> ActionParsnip: what?
[13:48] <Django_Novice> can i provide pwd with sudo while running a command
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> orville: well you're talking like I never use Linux before, or am very new...
[13:50] <nibbier> http://pastebin.com/5S0ANqRe - why do i only have 3.5GB RAM? dmidecode lists a max of 16GB and correctly my modules of 2x1 and 2x2 GB, kernel is 64 bit....
[13:51] <orville> ActionParsnip: no. i'm talking like you shouldn't make assumptions about why people are doing things, or make unhelpful comments like "seems like a lot of effort for very little gain".
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> orville: well it is, the restart message is a single line of text, very easy to ignore...
[13:51] <orville> You probably didn't mean any harm by it, but don't get a "big head" over karma or stuff like that.
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: what is the output of:  uname -m
[13:52] <orville> remember the root of being here. to help and learn. facilitate that and ignore al else.
[13:52] <nagarajan> actually i have installed ubuntu in my desk top
[13:52] <nagarajan>  but i am not getting grub while booting
[13:52] <nagarajan>  i am getting message as input not supported
[13:52] <nagarajan>  with 11.10
[13:52] <nagarajan>  earlier with 10.10 grub was working
[13:52] <FloodBot1> nagarajan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> orville: its about feasability too
[13:53] <tensorpudding> nagarajan, what message is telling you input not supported
[13:53] <nibbier> ActionParsnip, x86_64
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: ah, now thats a weird one.
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: does the system have a make and model?
[13:56] <nibbier> ActionParsnip, its in the dmidecode in the paste (along with supposed limits (16GB)): Base Board Information        Manufacturer: ASRock  Product Name: P5B-DE
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: sorry
[13:56] <nibbier> ActionParsnip, never mind, thats why i cut+paste it - dmidecode is a long one ;-)
[13:57] <fairuz> Hi, I'm not getting any output after choosing a kernel in the grub menu. The screen just went blank. But if I choose recovery mode, then I click on cancel, it boots fine. What can cause this issue? Thanks.
[13:57] <Guest86272> while booting i am not grub screen
[13:57] <Guest86272> but it appears virtually
[13:57] <sipior> nibbier: do you have an option for memory remapping in your bios, and is it enabled?
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> nibbier: does the ram show correctly in BIOS?
[13:58] <Guest86272> my monitor doesn't getting any signal
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> Guest86272: what GPU do you use?
[13:58] <Guest86272> later some time my login screen appears and then i am able to use my desktop
[13:59] <Guest86272> i am unable get
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Guest86272: so you only don't see the boot splash but the OS does boot eventually, is that right?
[13:59] <Guest86272> yes
[13:59] <Guest86272> you are right
[13:59] <sacarlson> Guest86272: I was able to get view of grub boot with changes in boot settings
[14:00] <schueler29> hi

[14:04] <wolfric> is there a package i can install to get the ubuntu installer on a regular install of ubuntu if i want to install it onto another currently unused disk
[14:04] <pestilence> in trying to install a printer, the hp-setup downloads a plugin and then tries to import a gpg key.  this fails.  when i try running the gpg import in a terminal, pgp.mit.edu returns "gpgkeys: key A59047B9 not found on keyserver"

[14:05] <Guest86272> i have opened this web page
[14:06] <pestilence> it seems possible that pgp.mit.edu is having issues right now.  what does one do in that case, just hope and pray that the tarball downloaded isn't loaded with a rootkit?
[14:06] <pestilence> seems like pretty bad design choice on the ubuntu side
[14:06] <novid> ActionParsnip: open "update manager" normally without any "upgrade" button
[14:06] <Stevan94NoT> can someone help me?
[14:07] <novid> ActionParsnip:  I just update Ubuntu normally
[14:07] <crizzy> Stevan94NoT: don't ask ppl to help, tell your problem and wait, if someone knows they'll answer
[14:07] <Stevan94NoT> ok..my problem is I dont know how to install Ati drivers for graphic card
[14:08] <crizzy> ok, which ati card you have?
[14:08] <Stevan94NoT> 5450HD download latest driver available
[14:08] <crizzy> are you on 11.10 / unity
[14:08] <Stevan94NoT> 11.10
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> novid: yes, but what does the update dialogue say?
[14:08] <crizzy> ok, hit super/win button, type 'additional' there, you should find 'additional drivers' app
[14:09] <crizzy> open that. click on the proprietary driver (NOT the post-release ones, the regular one)
[14:09] <crizzy> it'll install the driver
[14:09] <crizzy> after that, reboot
[14:10] <Stevan94NoT> Should I choose post release update or normal?
[14:10] <crizzy> normal
[14:10] <Stevan94NoT> ok thanks for your help
[14:10] <Trevor69420> eh.. someone somewhere said something to me again but i was away and i cant scroll that far up
[14:10] <crizzy> post-release has never worked for me.. not for anyone else with ati that i know, either
[14:10] <crizzy> :)
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> novid: technically you could boot to the precise install CD and upgrade from there
[14:10] <nibbler> ActionParsnip, RAM problem resolved:there was some remap RAM setting in BIOS (and found out my 3GHz CPU was running on 2GHz aswell) - thanks for support anyway

[14:12] <ActionParsnip> novid: i suggest you disable all 3rd party sources, it will help you get a smooth upgrade'

[14:13] <sacarlson> Guest86272: I'm not sure if you can't read the website if my words would help much,  do you know how to add repository to your system?
[14:13] <novid> ActionParsnip:  can i change theme manual?
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> Guest86272: you can add that PPA by running:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
[14:13] <Guest86272> i donot know

[14:13] <ActionParsnip> novid: no, read what I wrote...
[14:14] <MrHacks> On reboot the Debian GRUB showed up so I'm running memtest86. If GRUB showed up it must be serious
[14:14] <novid> ActionParsnip: really, I cant edit repository normally :(
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> novid: you can but its not the way to upgrade. Disable the PPAs you have added. it may help
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> novid: if you use the daily ISO, it will be the same as upgrading from the web
[14:15] <sacarlson> Guest86272: to start you need to add this to your repository list: ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer  as explained on the webpage https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer
[14:16] <novid> I want open repository from "settings"  synaptic's menu  , but noting is not open
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> thats gratitude for you
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> novid: try software centre then
[14:17] <novid> ActionParsnip: software center is similar synaptic :(
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> novid: yes but its a different app
[14:20] <edgy> Hi, I bought a new laptop with (I guess software ) raid0 and windows installed. now I am not sure how to install linux
[14:20] <novid> ActionParsnip: from terminal, i open software center, then i want open repositories window, i get this error in terminal http://pastebin.com/jFebhBVK
[14:20] <c_smith> edgy, do you have the installation media ready?
[14:21] <nagarajan> as you told i have run
[14:21] <nagarajan> seems to be grub installed
[14:21] <edgy> c_smith: I created now an image from windows though I have never recovered windows before and hope I am doing it right
[14:21] <nagarajan> let me restart my system
[14:21] <nagarajan> thanks a lot
[14:22] <edgy> c_smith: and yes I donwloaded ubuntu and burn it to my flash
[14:22] <ohmy> hello
[14:22] <c_smith> edgy, ok, and do you want to keep Windows?
[14:22] <novid> ActionParsnip: whole error is http://pastebin.com/LqdNjgx2
[14:22] <edgy> c_smith: yes
[14:22] <ohmy> i was seeking the different tool that are able to create filessytems, is there any alternatives to mkfs ? (just for knowledge)
[14:22] <takpar> :/
[14:23] <c_smith> ok, so, you're going to want to boot into the live USB drive, how to do that varies with the type of laptop.
[14:23] <novid> ActionParsnip: sorry, this is complete output  error from software center http://pastebin.com/AyB7Ta0Y
[14:24] <c_smith> edgy, and then you are going to want to follow the installer until it comes to disk setup, then you will want to select "install Ubuntu alongside windows".
[14:24] <c_smith> and the rest should be fairly easy, let us know if you have problems.
[14:25] <sacarlson> novid: you might need to run that with gksudo software-center
[14:25] <edgy> c_smith: the problem is the disk is raid0
[14:25] <c_smith> edgy, oh, well, I'll have to have you see if someone else knows, as I have no clue on that part..... sorry bud.
[14:26] <dr_willis> how do you know its raid?
[14:26] <sacarlson> edgy: ya I'm not sure what ubuntu will see your raid0 as,  you might need to repartition if no non raid stuf is left to install it
[14:26] <edgy> dr_willis: from the bios
[14:26] <dr_willis> it has 2 hard drives?
[14:27] <novid> sacarlson: no different, again i can not open repositories windows
[14:27] <sacarlson> dr_willis: edgy: oh if the raid is done in bios I guess ubuntu will still see it as a normal drive then
[14:27] <edgy> dr_willis, sacarlson: actually I tried to boot linux and just see a black screen then I tried some of the kernel options and got the installer but the disks appear as two 500G disks
[14:27] <edgy> dr_willis: yes, two drives
[14:28] <sacarlson> novid: maybe just install synapic if that option is still available in software-center
[14:28] <sacarlson> novid: synaptic
[14:28] <Trevor69420> edgy: how large are each of your hard drives??
[14:28] <edgy> Trevor69420: 500G each and windows see them as 1 tera disk
[14:28] <dr_willis> isent raid 0 more unreliable but faster?
[14:29] <Stevan94NoT> I just installed driver fo graphic card and in system info it says "VESA:" instead of my real graphic card (ati 5450HD
[14:29] <Trevor69420> ah...
[14:29] <sipior> dr_willis: unreliable, to put it mildly :-)
[14:29] <Trevor69420> lol
[14:29] <Trevor69420> no redundancy with RAID 0
[14:29] <Trevor69420> thats why i use RAID 10
[14:30] <edgy> dr_willis: yes, and I don't care about raid 0 but I guess if I changed this now I have to reinstall windows, right?
[14:30] <Trevor69420> sometimes RAID 5 but more often RAID 10
[14:30] <Trevor69420> edgy... are you using a hardware RAID card or software RAID?
[14:30] <BattlestarB> hi
[14:30] <dr_willis> sipior:  year.  my dual HD laptop I use Linux on HD 1 and windows on 2 . no raid
[14:30] <sacarlson> Stevan94NoT: did it fail to bring up the driver or did the install not create a config file to make it use it?  take a look a the logs
[14:30] <BattlestarB> rfkill list
[14:30] <BattlestarB> 0: phy0: Wireless LAN
[14:30] <BattlestarB> 	Soft blocked: no
[14:30] <BattlestarB> 	Hard blocked: yes
[14:30] <edgy> Trevor69420: the laptop comes with raid in bios so I am not sure what it's but I guess this software raid
[14:30] <BattlestarB> i cant unblock "hard blocked"
[14:31] <FloodBot1> BattlestarB: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:31] <Trevor69420> whats the laptop model edgy?
[14:31] <edgy> Trevor69420: msi gt683r
[14:31] <nibbler> BattlestarB, i did have a very similar problem. what laptop/wifi card are you using? for me it helped to unload several modules - at least that allowed me to use an externally plugged usb wifi stick which was "hard blocked" before, too
[14:31] <Trevor69420> give me a sec to look into this machine
[14:32] <Stevan94NoT> Oh now it says it's disabled in aditional drivers..ill try to enable it again
[14:32] <BattlestarB> nibbler: atheros
[14:32] <Trevor69420> i'm not to familiar with software RAID.. i use a 9650SE 3Ware RAID card
[14:32] <BattlestarB> nibbler: it is work if i restart computer
[14:32] <Trevor69420> but if it's in the BIOS it's possible it is actually a hardware controller
[14:33] <dr_willis> aren't most those semihard software raida these days
[14:33] <Trevor69420> edgy found something interesting
[14:33] <Hiuhu> Hey guyz am using ubuntu 10.10 and my software center is not downloading the cache
[14:33] <nibbler> Trevor69420, i don't think so. if its a (real) hw controller, it'll have its own bios showing during boot up. the ones in (standard) BIOS are all fake-raid imho
[14:33] <Trevor69420> edgy: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/249784-32-ubuntu-raid-discs
[14:33] <moustafa> I hate it when this happens
[14:33] <Trevor69420> did you read this?
[14:34] <edgy> nibbler: actually it tells me to press Ctrl+I to go to raid setup bios
[14:34] <Trevor69420> yea thats what i thought
[14:35] <Trevor69420> so it very well may be hardware
[14:35] <nibbler> edgy, ok, misunderstood then. sounds good. but you should get a brandname etc?
[14:35] <Trevor69420> edgy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1720800
[14:35] <Trevor69420> edgy: looks like alot of ppl have similar issues
[14:36] <edgy> nibbler: still I don't think it's hardware raid because live CD linux sees it as two disks ;)
[14:36] <Trevor69420> dunno what exactly causes it
[14:36] <edgy> Trevor69420: reading ...
[14:37] <Trevor69420> i dont recall having to do any of those steps when i set up my ubuntu server
[14:37] <Stevan94NoT> In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:"
[14:37] <Hiuhu> abox I have a problem with my software center every time I try to download something all it says is requires installation of untrusted packages
[14:37] <klawd> hI!
[14:37] <klawd> i screwed up my sudoers file
[14:37] <klawd> now i can't edit it with sudo
[14:37] <klawd> now what?
[14:37] <Trevor69420> klawd eeek that's terrible
[14:37] <dr_willis> klawd: use a live cd
[14:38] <Trevor69420> oh yea u can do that
[14:38] <dusf> can i install open office through synaptic some how? i am not sure which package to select...
[14:38] <dr_willis> or rescue mode
[14:38] <Trevor69420> lol
[14:38] <klawd> hum
[14:38] <klawd> reboot and choose rescue mode from the boot options?
[14:38] <Trevor69420> dr_willis, i almost told him to logon as root haha
[14:38] <dr_willis> dusf: its libreoffice in the repos
[14:38] <dusf> dr_willis: tyvm
[14:39] <nibbler> edgy, as long as its not configured in that way, i'd say u r right ;-)
[14:39] <Hiuhu> Guyz someone plz HELP me
[14:39] <edgy> Trevor69420: you mean you manage to install linux in a raid 0 disk on a lpatop?
[14:40] <Stevan94NoT> In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:"
[14:40] <Trevor69420> edgy no i managed to install it on my PowerEdge 2950 server with a 3Ware 9650SE card with an external SAS enclosure with 16 x 1TB hard drives in a RAID 10
[14:41] <Trevor69420> it saw them as one hard drive at startup
[14:41] <Trevor69420> 1 8TB ish hard drive
[14:41] <Trevor69420> cuz RAID 10 mirrors and spans
[14:41] <edgy> Trevor69420: may be because yours is hardware raid and mine is software
[14:42] <Trevor69420> i dunno i actually think u might have a hardware RAID
[14:42] <Trevor69420> if it has it's own BIOS
[14:42] <Trevor69420> i dont know tho to be honest
[14:43] <Trevor69420> i think the last time i used Software RAID was on my GX270 desktop which i use as my router
[14:44] <Trevor69420> but i set up the RAID from the ubuntu CD
[14:45] <YohanMeister> aside from the boot loader, is there anything else on a typical linux installation that needs to know where the kernel is?
[14:45] <Nach0z> afaik, no.
[14:46] <Nach0z> maybe aptitude or something, to replace the kernel image
[14:47] <dr_willis> you hideing your Kernal?
[14:48] <Mito125> hi
[14:49] <Hypocreale> Heya
[14:50] <Hypocreale> I've been using Fedora for two years or so now.  Not exactly but I am cooking up a plan for a little tweaking
[14:50] <Stevan94NoT>  In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:"
[14:50] <Hypocreale> What are the big differences a ordinary user would notice between Fedora and Ubuntu
[14:51] <llutz_> Hypocreale: #ubuntu-offtopic for this pls.
[14:51] <Hypocreale> ok, thanks
[14:51] <YohanMeister> thx Nach0z
[14:54] <t1t4n> is possible 2 machines has the same public key?
[14:54] <compdoc> not likely, unless it was copied manually
[14:55] <Stevan94NoT> In additional drivers windows it says my graphic card drivers are enabled but in system info it still says "VESA:" ? Anyone please? Is it suposted to be like that or not?
[14:55] <ohs6ohQu> I can't get compiz grid to work correctly on ubuntu. for the left and right positions cycling window sizes does not work. any ideas what the problem could be?
[14:59] <t1t4n> is possible 2 machine and 1 public key?
[15:01] <Schles> hey there, i´ve got a problem to control my fans on ubuntu. I´m using fancontrol but i´m get an error when trying to adjust the settings. sensors found eine fan  with a speed about 2200 RPM. Pwnconfig returns an source error (cant compare a empty string). The empty string is because pwnconfig doesnt found any fans. during the init process, pwmconfig test which fan the programm can manage and correctly let the fan spin slower. But that is
[15:01] <Schles> *eine = one, sry
[15:01] <wangerin> t1t4n: Sure. But you have to copy the private key to each mashine.
[15:01] <talloaktrees> hahah. a little german slipped through
[15:01] <Schles> :D
[15:03] <Schles> *any other setting can´t do that (spin the fan slower)
[15:03] <playman> how can I run filename.sh in terminal?
[15:03] <Schles> sh filename.sh
[15:03] <cancer> auronandace: hi
[15:04] <SubjectOne> chmod +x the .sh file first
[15:04] <llutz_> why?
[15:04] <playman> i've allready chmod the file
[15:04] <dr_willis> chmod or use sh
[15:04] <SubjectOne> k
[15:04] <dr_willis>  ./foo.sh
[15:05] <mi3> Hi!
[15:05] <dr_willis> if yiu chmod
[15:05] <Schles> if the filename.sh has the execute right, you can run it with ./filename.sh
[15:05] <Schles> otherwise sh filename.sh
[15:05] <playman> sh filename.sh worked thanks
[15:05] <cancer> auronandace: i have installed virtualbox, there is default machine folder in file > preference > General. what if i change it path?
[15:06] <cancer> i have installed virtualbox, there is default machine folder in file > preference > General. what if i change it path?
[15:06] <playman> I just tried running it with "filename.sh" :S
[15:06] <compdoc> cancer, if you understand how to configure VB to use the path, it shouldnt be a problem
[15:06] <llutz_> playman: that only works if the file is executable AND in a dir inside your $PATH
[15:06] <auronandace> cancer: yes, if you change the path you could use a different partition with more space
[15:08] <cancer> auronandace: It means that virtualbox will make file of kubuntu in the path i'll describe.
[15:09] <auronandace> cancer: yes
[15:09] <cancer> auronandace: do i have to do changes with "VRDP authentication Library"
[15:09] <playman> llutz_: ok I know that now thank you
[15:10] <auronandace> cancer: not sure sorry, you could ask in #vbox
[15:11] <cancer> auronandace: ok, virtual box will only use the space i'll define in default machine folder. right?
[15:13] <auronandace> cancer: it will use the space left on the partition of where you define the path, but you can set how big every drive is when you create the vm
[15:13] <LeartS> Hi all, quick question: I need to run a script that checks for changes on a webpage every hour (more or less, no need to be exact time). Is it better to use cron or sleep 3600 inside a while loop?
[15:14] <llutz_> LeartS: just use cron.hourly or create a cronjob running every hour. better than sleep-loops (imho)
[15:14] <cancer> auronandace: i will set path to the partition of space 10 G.B, from where i uninstalled ubuntu(wubi).
[15:14] <bazhang> https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html cancer this is very informative
[15:14] <theadmin> LeartS: cron, because otherwise the script will be running ALL the time, not only when you need it
[15:15] <cancer> bazhang: can you tell me will virtual box uses ISO file everytime i need to boot into kubuntu.
[15:15] <cancer> ?
[15:16] <LeartS> Ok, thanks, I thought so. Just out of curiosity though: does the sleep command uses CPU?
[15:16] <bazhang> cancer, have you looked at the link I gave you?
[15:17] <cancer> bazhang: in progress....
[15:19] <cstTY> hey bitches
[15:19] <darrenlooby> Hi guys... how do I extract this? apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
[15:19] <llutz_> LeartS: if it does, its marginal
[15:19] <LeartS> Ok, thanks.
[15:20] <bazhang> cstTY, watch the language
[15:20] <cstTY> what are some good network discovery programs
[15:20] <Schles> darrenlooby, tar xvf apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
[15:20] <cancer> bazhang: will it use RAM & diskspace when ever i login to xp OR it will only use the memory when i'll run kubuntu
[15:21] <BattlestarB> can i move unity stick to right?
[15:22] <darrenlooby> Schles, I'm getting this... gzip: stdin: not in gzip format - is that an error with the download do you think?
[15:22] <auronandace> BattlestarB: no
[15:22] <bieb> I setup an ubuntu kiosk.. it auto logs in as "kiosk" user which is fine.. the only problem is I can't login as a higher priviledged user to update the browser and make sure the ability to print to .pdf is available. How/where do I change the login setting so it will allow me to login as different user?
[15:22] <BattlestarB> auronandace: noooo
[15:23] <bazhang> BattlestarB, possible to the bottom though
[15:23] <BattlestarB> no i want it to right
[15:23] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[15:23] <bazhang> BattlestarB, then nope
[15:24] <Schles> darrenlooby, i could possible be. I´m also not so much experience on linux
[15:24] <Schles> darrenlooby, but tar.gz i extract with tar xvf filename.tar.gz
[15:24] <cstz> cstty is gay
[15:24] <darrenlooby> kk
[15:24] <cstTY> cstz is here to find a boyfriend if anyone is interested :):)

[15:26] <joker_89> cp command dont work
[15:26] <mneptok> cstz: anything else you'd like to add while i have ops? or can you stay on-topic?
[15:26] <bazhang> cancer, you should take your time and read it. it's very informative. also #vbox for what is not clear
[15:27] <darrenlooby> Schles, solved. The download redirected
[15:28] <Schles> darrenlooby :)

[15:31] <bellman> Where can I get an Ubuntu Server Edition with TMUX instead of SCREEN
[15:32] <llutz_> bellman: sudo apt-get remove screen; sudo apt-get install tmux
[15:32] <llutz_> time for tmubuntu-server ...
[15:32] <mneptok> llutz_: already been done. the .iso's are on a detached server, though.
[15:33] <sipior> heh

[15:33] <darrenlooby> How do I tell where my JDK is?
[15:33] <darrenlooby> Or even that I've installed it correctly
[15:34] <jatt> which java
[15:34] <mneptok> darrenlooby: what did you install and how?
[15:35] <darrenlooby> mneptok, jatt  - I'm trying to install apache maven - and I need java installed...
[15:35] <_Marcus> How do I make it so that my Ubuntu virtual machine is filling the whole area in Virtual Box? I already installed Guest Addons
[15:35] <corentin> hi
[15:35] <jatt> type:
[15:35] <jatt> which java
[15:35] <jatt> on a console
[15:35] <darrenlooby> haha n00b
[15:35] <_Marcus> I want it to not go to 1024x768, as that's too big, but instead to a size that is smaller than that, but fills the greenish-gray area
[15:36] <darrenlooby> Cheers
[15:36] <Ghostly> i have an very strange problem, i connect my router on my network then activate dhcp on it and then my pc witch is connected to the router starts experiencing some strange problems related to the loading of pages. I use firefox 10.0.2 and Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit
[15:36] <compdoc> _Marcus, fill what area? the hard drive space you gave it?
[15:36] <darrenlooby> Cheers jatt :)
[15:36] <mneptok> !info maven2
[15:36] <_Marcus> compdoc: No, you know how in Virtual Box, there is that area in the window that isn't filled by the Ubuntu display?
[15:36] <mneptok> darrenlooby: ^^^^^^
[15:37] <compdoc> _Marcus, so youre talking about resolution?
[15:37] <compdoc> desktop area?
[15:37] <_Marcus> compdoc: Yes. I couldn't think of the name, it's resolution
[15:38] <corentin> i need to compile eglibc, i've tried to get the source with apt-get source, but it's always failing at linking time because of multiple defition of some symbol like __libc_multiple_libcs
[15:38] <darrenlooby> mneptok, cheers :)
[15:39] <_Marcus> Nvm, I got it, compdoc
[15:40] <mi3> Hello, is there a way to display vlc title and track in conky?
[15:40] <MrStupid> mi3 yes
[15:41] <mi3> MrStupid, can you suggest how?
[15:41] <_Marcus> How do I use basic Gnome desktop instead of Unity? Unity is really slow
[15:41] <MrStupid> mi3 no
[15:41] <mi3> But you said yes?
[15:42] <MrStupid> mi3 yes
[15:43] <llutz_> !attitude | MrStupid pls be helpful
[15:43] <mi3> _Marcus log out of the session, then at the login window on the bottom side you will see Desktop in that you can select whichever you want like gnome with effects, no effects, recovery console, etc.
[15:43] <xsl> in xfce is there a way to define the positioning of a panel that does not use positioning="x=number y=number" but use positioning"x=bottom y=bottom"
[15:43] <llutz_> hrm wrong factoid
[15:44] <mi3> xsl, please ask this question in xfce channel
[15:44] <bellman> you can simply edit the source code of VLC and make it output the current track to dbus, and simply edit conky to read the track from dbus
[15:44] <_Marcus> mi3: I logged out, and there is nothing at the bottom.
[15:44] <mi3> _Marcus, there will be a session selection at the bottom which release do you use?
[15:45] <_Marcus> mi3: 11.10
[15:45] <CoolCoder> I have installed openoffice. But how i will open it. when i type cmd soffice its opening libreoffice. how to i get openoffice
[15:45] <mi3> bellman, how can I do that? can you suggest? also, I am a complete newbie, and I dont know how to compile from source so pls guide me
[15:46] <mi3> _Marcus, there ought to be some kind of a session selector option in the login screen, thats what I know.
[15:46] <xsl> mi3 i have been asking that question for 3 days, with no success
[15:47] <_Marcus> mi3: There is "Guest Session" but that's just a guest account
[15:47] <xsl> and its important, because if i change monitor or screen resolution and if the bar is on the bottom ...i cant see it
[15:48] <llutz_> mi3 have you tried this? http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/conky?before=1328759322
[15:48] <mi3> xsl you want vlc in conky? i have a solution and it may or may not work wait let me give you the link[the conkyrc file in that tar.gz works but the display aint proper so I thought i could find some suggestions on this chanel]
[15:48] <mi3> llutz its the same tar.gz file, ehh?
[15:48] <mi3> :)?
[15:49] <mi3> you want the link xsl?
[15:49] <CoolCoder> I have installed openoffice. But how i will open it. when i type cmd soffice its opening libreoffice. how to i get openoffice

[15:50] <mi3> llutz is it tar.gz file on that link or just a paste?
[15:50] <xsl> my problem is related to a xfce design problem that positions the panel using x and y coordinates. and i need to be "bottom" "top"
[15:50] <llutz_> mi3: check it out
[15:50] <mi3> ok
[15:50] <mi3> xsl thats too easy
[15:51] <xsl> it is?
[15:51] <mi3> well maybe can you care to ask?
[15:51] <mi3> :)
[15:51] <helmut_> hi

[15:58] <Biebian> or maybe even Justin
[15:59] <BattlestarB> is there a lens for ubuntu 11.10 for index everything?
[15:59] <bellman> sudo su, usermod -l Justin root, passwd Justin to set a password and allow root logins
[15:59] <xsl> mi3 no its with the xfce panels
[15:59] <Oer> Biebian what root-user ? root-account is disabled in Ubuntu.
[16:00] <mi3> maybe you can find some luck with xfce channels cos nobody really entertains questions related to xfce on this channel xsl ok
[16:00] <raidmaster> ubottu I use Ubuntu in Virtualmachine. My host is Debian using only the main repos. Don't use Flash Player. Gnash does the trick. All the same I need to send a pdf to a Windows users that needs to be edited..
[16:00] <_Marcus> Biebian: Some applications use the username "root" as a reference, while some use the uid. I wouldn't recommend it, and you should ask someone else about what I am going to say, but just change "root" to something else in /etc/passwd
[16:01] <BattlestarB> hey, i want to index every file on computer but unity only shows opened files, is there a way to index everyting (ubuntu 11.10)
[16:01] <CoolCoder> Anyone help? I am not able to run openoffice. when I try to install it says new version is already installed. Its not getting on the menu may be libreoffice is already installed.  when i run the cmd "ooffice -writer %U" I am getting this message http://pastebin.com/H5YGZAke
[16:01] <Biebian> _Marcus thank you that is helpfull I will test this out shortly
[16:01] <mi3> hey xsl you have some conkys you would like to share with me?
[16:01] <hatop> biebian: do not remove the root user. It is necessary to actually do things. You can add a "comment" but otherwise, please leave it alone.
[16:01] <Tostada> Hi.. How do I search for text within files, system wide.? Thank you : )
[16:01] <_Marcus> Biebian: take a backup of your machine first
[16:02] <hatop> tostada: that depends on the type of file and if you like the command line.
[16:02] <_Marcus> hatop: They dont want to remove it, just rename it.
[16:02] <Biebian> bellman thank you too, my goal is to make sure my distro is as bieber based as possible
[16:02] <BattlestarB> Tostada: i want to index everything, do you have a solution for that?
[16:02] <llutz_> troll-tuesday, Biebian  .. take your fish and troll away <°))))><
[16:02] <mi3> hahahaha
[16:03] <_Marcus> llutz_: Don't give away fish, their for slapping people.
[16:03] <mi3> this aint windows BattlestarB
[16:03] <comunistu> how to display your open windows in all workspaces in Ubuntu 10.10?
[16:03] <Myrtti> moving on and keeping to the topic, thank you
[16:03] <RyanD> Is there a support channel for wu-ftpd, or am I locked into asking in here?
[16:03] <mi3> you found that option _Marcus?
[16:03] <BattlestarB> mi3: you are saying linux can't do that?
[16:04] <_Marcus> mi3: I am going to install gnome from software center, and then uninstall Unity from software center.
[16:04] <RyanD> Just want to lock a user in his home directory (it's a wordpress autoupdate login only, so only want it to see /var/www)
[16:04] <hatop> if by index you mean search, then it does
[16:04] <RyanD> via both SSH and wu-ftpd.
[16:04] <mi3> BattlestarB I have no idea and have never tried that
[16:04] <hatop> try the locate command
[16:04] <Tostada> hatop I'm not very good with linux but I do know how to use the command line.. Right now I'm trying: grep -i -n ‘people123.com’ * but it doesn't do anything.
[16:04] <mi3> _Marcus maybe you should use natty,ehh?
[16:04] <_Marcus> RyanD: When you figure it out, can you help me do it D:
[16:04] <hatop> tostada: is this in relation to apache logs?
[16:04] <_Marcus> mi3: 11.04?
[16:04] <BattlestarB> mi3: ok, it is possible actually
[16:05] <mi3> yeah _Marcus
[16:05] <_Marcus> mi3: Naw
[16:05] <theadmin> Tostada: grep -R -H -F 'people123.com' /
[16:05] <Tostada> No, somehow people123.com are pulling information from my computer using firefox.
[16:05] <mi3> _Marcus, natty is for all those who are unity hater, no offense
[16:05] <mi3> sorry *haters
[16:05] <comunistu> how to display windows are open in all workspaces in Ubuntu 10.10?
[16:05] <_Marcus> Tostada: Block them through your router.
[16:05] <hatop> tostada: is this in relation to something being displayed on a webpage?
[16:06] <_Marcus> mi3: I like 11.10, but I don't like Unity
[16:06] <Tostada> Good idea.. thankyou.
[16:06] <mi3> _Marcus, same goes for me, i hate unity [i mean why would someone introduce that in the name of usability?]
[16:07] <_Marcus> mi3: It reminds me a lot of OS X though, so I like it a bit.
[16:07] <mi3> BattlestarB, tell me about it
[16:07] <Tostada> hatop No, this morning when I went to shut firefox for a reboot there was one tiny little window open.. it said transfering people123.com I've never been to people123.com
[16:08] <theadmin> Tostada: Eh, just a random ad popup? Nothing to worry about.
[16:08] <mi3> _Marcus, :( [never have a mac, so cant say :)]
[16:08] <Tostada> Theadmin Thankyou, I'll try that.
[16:08] <hatop> sounds like a browser flaw
[16:08] <undersc_re> trying to install netgear WNA3100 wireless network usb on a dell D600 running 11.10.  I've waded through the sea of docs online, but somewhere I got my wires crossed.  Any tips to isolate the issue?  lsusb sees the device, nm-tool does not.
[16:08] <Tostada> There was no ad in the window.
[16:09] <_Marcus> Tostada: Did you install a Firefox extension lately?
[16:09] <notwaffles> I'm trying to put together an upstart job to run browsermob-proxy but the stop command doesn't seem to work, does anyone have any experience with this?
[16:09] <mi3> bye guys,have fun!
[16:09] <Tostada> Nope.. but I did install all the security patches.
[16:09] <_Marcus> Tostada: Well did you visit a site, and then see this people123 site?
[16:09] <_Marcus> Tostada: Or did you just start up Firefox and see it
[16:09] <realm174> Noob question: How can I copy a file from Ubuntu to a Windows shared *without* actually mounting the share? (to be used in a shell script)
[16:10] <Tostada> No I had firefox running for probably 4 days.
[16:10] <Oer> realm174, you cannot copy any file not without mounting.
[16:10] <hatop> realm174: you could setup ftp? Otherwise, I think you have to mount the CFS share
[16:11] <kernix> hi all
[16:11] <comunistu> cum fac sa  se afiseze ferestrele deschise in toate spatiile de lucru in ubuntu 10.10?
[16:11] <_Marcus> Tostada: No, listen. Did you see this "transfering data to people123.com" when you were on a website?
[16:11] <sacarlson> realm174: Oer: you could share it over http with apache2 if so desired
[16:12] <llutz_> realm174: use smbclient
[16:12] <Somelauw> xpdf in ubuntu 11.4 just gives a segmentation fault. Ever after reinstalling.
[16:12] <Tostada> Yes.. hotmail.com gmail.com and castanet.net
[16:12] <comunistu> ubuntu romania
[16:12] <realm174> thanks guys. The only reason why I don't want to mount is that the windows machine is not always on.
[16:12] <_Marcus> Tostada: It's an advertisment, so everything is fine.
[16:13] <realm174> llutz: I can do it by hand using sbmclient, I just have no idea what all to put in a sh script to do the same thing.
[16:13] <_Marcus> Tostada: It's probally just getting information from your client, or sending it to your client, with Cross Site Scripting in JavaScript
[16:13] <Tostada> Shouldn't people123.com show up in my history.?
[16:13] <_Marcus> Tostada: Not with the way it's getting the information.
[16:13] <_Marcus> Tostada: Read about JavaScript.
[16:13] <keit> like my new gamepad? http://imagetoo.com/?v=448d129570.jpg

[16:13] <Tostada> Okay, Thankyou very much..
[16:13] <comunistu> how to display applications in all workspaces
[16:13] <comunistu> ?
[16:14] <g1c9> whatap homies -- I use ssh a ton but it always times out on me.. how do i set it to do some keep-alive thingy?
[16:14] <llutz_> realm174: the same you do manually, you might replace filenames/pathes with varnames taken from commandline ($*)
[16:14] <_Marcus> keit: Does it have USB support?
[16:14] <realm174> llutz: oh, that simple... well, time for me to go give it a try then. thanks for the tip!

[16:20] <RoK-Geppie> Hey guys, i need a bit of help, I'm trying to install the driver in ubuntu for mt geforce gt 430, how do i install?
[16:20] <RoK-Geppie> I'm running ubuntu 10.04
[16:21] <Trevor69420> RoK-Geppie, did u read the instructions for the driver?
[16:21] <Trevor69420> does it have a native linux build?
[16:21] <RoK-Geppie>  you mean 32 bit? yea
[16:21] <sorin_> rok  run hardware driver
[16:22] <RoK-Geppie> sorin, it doesnt find asnything for nvidia, so thats out
[16:22] <Trevor69420> no i mean did you go online and see if it had a Linux driver?
[16:23] <_Marcus> RoK-Geppie: It's 32-bit right?
[16:23] <RoK-Geppie> oh yea, it has a driver, i dl'ed it right from nvidia
[16:23] <RoK-Geppie> yea, its 32 bit
[16:23] <_Marcus> RoK-Geppie: So what problem are you having then?
[16:23] <sorin_> rok  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-295.20-driver.html
[16:23] <RoK-Geppie> lol, I'm a mudduck to nvidia, I'm trying to install it, lol
[16:23] <phrontist> does anyone know of an ubuntu package equivalent to the grdc (grand digital clock) on FreeBSD. It drew (with curses) a clock.
[16:23] <_Marcus> sorin_: He has the driver already
[16:24] <Trevor69420> RoK-Geppie, ok then wat have you done so far to install it?
[16:24] <_Marcus> RoK-Geppie: The file you downloaded, what file extension is it?
[16:24] <sorin_> run jokey
[16:24] <Mech0z> how do you make ubuntu list all the drives in terminal?
[16:25] <Mech0z> (So I can add them to a zfs pool)
[16:25] <RoK-Geppie> well, i tried installing it by double clicking the file, and i tried running the install as root, but then it says it wont install with x server running
[16:25] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, fdisk -l
[16:25] <KM0201> *  sudo fdisk -l
[16:25] <KM0201> you have to use sudo
[16:25] <SubjectOne> is there an extension , for an terminal to automaticly stay on-top ?
[16:25] <raidmaster> Tostada you dont want to hit /dev or /proc try find ... -print0 | while IFS= read -rd '' f; do printf '%s\n' "${f##*/}"; done
[16:26] <sorin_> rok----http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-nvidia-graphics-driver-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat
[16:26] <martian> SubjectOne: you can right click the right corner of the window and select that option
[16:26] <raidmaster> Still wondering if there is a pdf editor that is any good that is FOSS.
[16:26] <RoK-Geppie> mine isnt called meerkat from what i seen, its called lynx for 10.04
[16:26] <Trevor69420> RoK-Geppie, did you try going to terminal and typing ./NVIDIA-LINUX-X86-<version>
[16:26] <Trevor69420> .run
[16:26] <SubjectOne> yeah, but when closed, and reopenend, it didn't remember that setting
[16:27] <RoK-Geppie> just ./nvidia-linux-x86-name?
[16:27] <sipior> raidmaster: have you tried pdfedit?
[16:27] <sorin_> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[16:27] <Chipzzz> RoK-Geppie: you probably have to stop the x server first
[16:27] <martian> SubjectOne: true. Check out the last reply to http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/is-there-a-always-on-top-option-for-gnome-terminal-809611/
[16:28] <raidmaster> sipior no but Ill take a look at it. Can I change spelling errors etc?
[16:28] <sorin_> http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-graphical-driver-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04
[16:28] <Somelauw> What is wrong with ubuntu 11.4. Why is my computer making so much noise?
[16:28] <sipior> raidmaster: i imagine so.
[16:28] <raidmaster> sipior thx
[16:28] <sorin_> rok----http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-graphical-driver-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04
[16:28] <raidmaster> Somelauw try df -h and see how much ram you got
[16:28] <RoK-Geppie> yea, how do i kk, ty sorin ;)
[16:28] <raidmaster> Somelauw or just top
[16:29] <martian> SubjectOne: so you could create a gnome-terminal session with a fixed window title, and then modify the shortcut and add "& wmctrl -r TitleName -b add,above" to the command
[16:29] <RoK-Geppie> mmm, it doesnt show anything for stopping x server
[16:29] <zagibu> Somelauw: Ubuntu has changed from electronic to mechanical computing in 11.4, which obviously produces more noise, but is less reliable and much slower
[16:29] <SubjectOne> so i need an secondary application for that
[16:29] <SubjectOne> thanx anyways
[16:30] <Somelauw> raidmaster: 64% is used. How on earth is that possible?
[16:30] <Chipzzz> RoK-Geppie: sudo service gdm stop
[16:30] <raidmaster> RoK-Geppie not sure what UI you are using buy Ctrl + Alt backspace is the normal way of doing that.
[16:30] <_Marcus> Somelauw: When was the last time you restarted your computer?
[16:31] <Somelauw> _Marcus: About half an hour ago.
[16:31] <raidmaster> Somelauw That is most likely just cached memory. Is your computer swapping?
[16:31] <KM0201> RoK-Geppie: just make sure you know how to get back to X when you run that command
[16:31] <raidmaster> Somelauw using swap that is.
[16:31] <Somelauw> Right now Only weechat and firefox are open and some window manager and usual stuff.
[16:31] <chuspisarmiento> hi, i got a issue, when my laptop is unplugged from power, my wireless card has a very low perfomance when i am working in ubuntu anyone has a idea about this?
[16:31] <chuspisarmiento> electricidad
[16:31] <RoK-Geppie> kk lol :)
[16:32] <Mech0z> how do I make myself owner of a folder I just created (Its a ZFS pool)
[16:32] <KM0201> chuspisarmiento: what is your wireless chipset.. it's probably one of those low poewr jobbies
[16:32] <Trevor69420> KM0201, doesnt "startx" bring X back?
[16:32] <raidmaster> Somelauw hit this cmd " free -m " and look if swap is 0
[16:32] <KM0201> Trevor69420: i don't think so, because technically, X is still running
[16:32] <Trevor69420> oh
[16:32] <Chipzzz> Trevor69420: "sudo service gdm start" works
[16:32] <Trevor69420> stopx
[16:32] <Trevor69420> lol
[16:32] <chuspisarmiento>  KM0201:09:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[16:32] <Somelauw> raidmaster: swap is 0
[16:32] <raidmaster> Somelauw if your swap is not 0 then you have a ram issue. Need more.
[16:33] <raidmaster> OK well its not the ram
[16:33] <KM0201> chuspisarmiento: weird, i have that on a laptop, and it works flawlessly
[16:33] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, Did someone answer your ownership question?
[16:33] <_Marcus> raidmaster: How much RAM is in your machine?
[16:33] <Mech0z> Trevor69420 no
[16:33] <Mech0z> is there no GUI for changing owner?
[16:33] <KM0201> i thought linux support for ZFS was still very shaky
[16:34] <chuspisarmiento> i had that issue a long time and its just in ubuntu i also had windows and works fine
[16:34] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, try "chown <username> <filename>
[16:34] <Trevor69420> sudp first tho
[16:34] <Trevor69420> sudo*
[16:34] <sipior> KM0201: works pretty well, actually
[16:34] <asraniel_> hi. i have a bug that when i work with graphs in libreoffice calc, i have a very hight chance of freezing the whole deskopt. including the keyboard, i can't even ctrl+alt+f1 to a console. is this known? using kubuntu 11.10 (libreoffice is not a kde app, so thats why i'm asking here)
[16:34] <_Marcus> Somelauw: how much RAM is in your machine
[16:34] <Mech0z> KM0201 I am only doing it to miggrate data from my old solaris system to a ubuntu client
[16:34] <_Marcus> raidmaster: Sorry 'bout that
[16:34] <KM0201> sipior: does it?... i just remember a bunch of tools in #freenas talking about it
[16:34] <raidmaster> _Marcus I use a OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS and don't want writes on it so I changed my fstab to put everything in RAM. I have 32GB
[16:35] <KM0201> Mech0z: makes sense... i personally will wait for btrfs
[16:35] <_Marcus> raidmaster: Heh, I meant Somelauw :P
[16:35] <sipior> KM0201: release schedule is pretty conservative, but i've been pretty happy so far.
[16:35] <Mech0z> KM0201 ``
[16:35] <Mech0z> `what?
[16:35] <Somelauw> Wait, why was I looking at df -h? free -m says only 574 is cached. df -h is my hard disk so that doesn't matter.
[16:35] <KM0201> Mech0z: i mean, rather than trying to use zfs in Linux, i'll just wait for btrfs for Linux to be perfected (that was actually for sipior
[16:36] <_Marcus> Somelauw: how much RAM is in your machine
[16:36] <Somelauw> df -h doesn't display ram, but diskspace
[16:36] <Somelauw> _Marcus: 1 gig.
[16:36] <sipior> KM0201: enjoy the wait :-)
[16:36] <Trevor69420> Mech0z, did that work?
[16:36] <KM0201> Somelauw: free -m
[16:36] <Mech0z> KM0201 what is btrfs?
[16:36] <KM0201> !btrfs
[16:36] <Mech0z> Trevor69420 one sec
[16:36] <KM0201> Mech0z: think of it as a the linux version of ZFS
[16:37] <Somelauw> Okay, it stopped making noise. I don't think anything is wrong.
[16:37] <Mech0z> Trevor69420 seems like it did the trick :)
[16:37] <raidmaster> Somelauw You can see how much RAM you have under total mem with "free -m"
[16:37] <Mech0z> no Ijust wonder if I can access it inside openindiana
[16:37] <Mech0z> KM0201 but isnt linux raid good enough?
[16:37] <Somelauw> raidmaster: http://pastebin.com/x3jBFS2t
[16:38] <KM0201> Mech0z: for me, yes... but.. some folks like the pool options/speed of ZFS/btrfs
[16:38] <KM0201> Mech0z: i use Raid on my Linux server, it's yet to let me down
[16:38] <Mech0z> I am trying to get raid5 software raid, that should be enough redundency for my private server
[16:38] <Mech0z> then I can add a second drive to make it raid6 at some point
[16:38] <raidmaster> Somelauw its all good. You got 4GB of RAM your not swapping.
[16:38] <makara> I want to play Skyrim without dualbooting to Windows. What are my options?  Why would my drive be dying?
[16:39] <Somelauw> dieing *
[16:40] <Mech0z> KM0201 year thats what I said, but they didnt get that I didnt have backup of my data, but then I need twice as many disks aka $$$
[16:40] <KM0201> Mech0z: right
[16:40] <raidmaster> Somelauw they do that at times. You can use the SMART in your drive to see if it is OK.
[16:40] <chris_99> i've just tried to upgrade ubuntu to the latest, and now i'm getting 'dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dpkg-dev:'
[16:40] <Somelauw> raidmaster: Why do you think my drive is dying?
[16:40] <KM0201> Mech0z: but.. i have 2, 2tb drives on my server, and they are in Raid 1.. money for drives is not the issue for me, redundancy is
[16:40] <chris_99> whenever i try and complete the upgrade
[16:40] <Mech0z> KM0201 have thoguht about doing raid1 though, but thats still pretty expensive
[16:41] <raidmaster> Somelauw weird sounds and slow you said
[16:41] <Mech0z> KM0201 well I just bought 2 3tb as they had a cheap offer (very cheap in these times) and my 5 1 tb in raidz (raid5) are full
