[16:46] <milk_> anyone know if firefox 4 will become available as an update? as my ff 3 has no 'Check for updates' option :/
[16:47] <terry> Lars_G: What error?  (What does it say?)
[16:48] <nit-wit> milk, you have the ubuntu version, it updates through the manager
[16:48] <nit-wit> milk, ff4 is available in a ppa it s in Natty
[16:50] <milk_> aaah, cool
[16:52] <esing123> How do I open port 5900 in ubuntu?
[16:53] <Kimmen> no ports are closed per default in ubuntu
[16:53] <Kimmen> as far as I know
[16:53] <ruan> unless you have a router
[16:53] <esing123> I have a router
[16:53] <esing123> but I want to access my linux local
[16:53] <esing123> not behind through internet
[16:54] <ruan> get something to listen to the port.. i forgot the name of the tool that can do that
[16:54] <[TK]D-Fender> esing123: What should be opening it?
[16:54] <ruan> or do port forwarding
[16:54] <esing123> I dont understand
[16:54] <esing123> why should I open a port in my router also this is local?
[16:54] <Kimmen> you have to have somethin that listens to port 5900
[16:54] <esing123> *although
[16:54] <Kimmen> you don't
[16:55] <esing123> yes I have a client installed on my windows computer
[16:55] <llutz_> esing123: "sudo iptables -L"  to check if something blocks
[16:55] <Kimmen> netstat -tnl
[16:55] <llutz_> esing123: sudo lsof -i :5900             to check if something listens
[16:55] <Kimmen> to check if what your machine listens to
[16:56] <BluesKaj> esing123, open your router webpage and check your local IPs for the the machines on your network , then you can access them by adding network folders in nautilus/network
[16:56] <esing123>
[16:56] <esing123> tcp6       0      0 :::5900                 :::*                    LISTEN

[16:56] <FloodBot1> esing123: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:56] <[TK]D-Fender> esing123: and pastebin "iptables --list"
[16:56] <esing123> llutz_ nothing is blocked in iptables -L
[16:57] <[TK]D-Fender> esing123: that is also TCP6, not TCP4 <-
[16:57] <esing123> tcp is also listed
[16:57] <esing123> (for port 5900 and 5901)
[16:57] <ccvvcc> how do i stop a job
[16:58] <juk> ccvvcc: ctrl+z
[16:58] <[TK]D-Fender> esing123: 6, not 4
[16:58] <ccvvcc> i ran a bash script file with & and it keeps running
[16:58] <ccvvcc> juk it doesnt work

[16:58] <esing123> BlueKaj what do you meana?
[16:58] <juk> ccvvcc: & means forking it
[16:58] <esing123> BlueKaj My local linux IP is <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:58] <ccvvcc> ok so  how i stop fork
[16:59] <juk> ccvvcc: run it normally, then ctrl+z

[17:03] <orlandoj> hi all. anyone has been used Xerces-C on Ubuntu ?
[17:04] <jbwiv_> does anyone know of a decent bluetooth headset that works on linux for use with things like ekiga?
[17:06] <J450N__> which is the best ubuntu distu for a celeron 433mhz laptop 256mb ram, 6gb hdd with PCMCIA wifi card (RT61 chipset)
[17:06] <khem_> what is the name of the startup disk creator in ubuntu, if i want to start it up from the terminal? want some verbose output since it doesnt load my ubuntu 10.10 desktop .iso
[17:06] <dajhorn> dan-mytt: (Don't send private messages in this channel.)  That is is legitimate.  Ubuntu is moving towards multiarch.  Don't worry about it.
[17:06] <khem_> J450N__: how about lubuntu?
[17:06] <joel135> J450N__: lubuntu
[17:06] <juk> jbwiv_: yuo'll be lucky if you get it just to record the sound
[17:06] <tucemiux> J450N__, i would try lubuntu
[17:07] <oxicarus> anyone with a clue what has happened? my ubuntu machine wont accept tcp connections over the internet, but only locally. i.e. i have two machines connected to a router (with nat disabled) and my isp is capable of delivering several sharp internet ips. now, when i do 'ping serverbox.local' from other machine, it answers, also 'ping internetip' works from other machine on same router.
[17:07] <J450N__> thanks all i will look into that, looks good from here
[17:07] <jbwiv_> juk, really? specifically with  a bluetooth headset or just any headset?
[17:07] <joel135> J450N__: try TinyCore Linux if that's too heavy(not Ubuntu)
[17:07] <oxicarus> however, when i try 'ping internetip' from another psysical place (over the internet), it wont answer :| however, nmap reports all tcp ports open (that hsould be open), but i just cant connect to any of them.
[17:07] <BluesKaj> !xubuntu |J450N__
[17:07] <dan-mytt> dalhorn: fakeroot: usr/lib64 was the out come
[17:07] <juk> jbwiv_: specifically? really is there specifacally headsets for linux?
[17:08] <tucemiux> oxicarus, what do you mean by "tcp connections"?  what is exactly the service that broke?  your web server??
[17:08] <jbwiv_> juk, I'm asking if you mean you think I'll have problems with bluetooth headsets or just headsets in general
[17:08] <reliability> hi
[17:09] <oxicarus> tucemiux: ssh, icmp, httpd, for instance.
[17:09] <tucemiux> jbwiv_,  youll have problems with sound and  ekiga, I suggest the forums or the web for something like that, last I heard it was working flaky but its been a long while since then
[17:09] <atoi|laptop> If I have apache2 installed and I have the version installed... 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4 ... where can I see the security flaws that have been addressed by this package? That is, I need to prove, for PCI compliance, that this version has been backported with the appropriate fixes.
[17:10] <atoi|laptop> I remember there was some place to find this..
[17:10] <jrib> atoi|laptop: the changelog for the package?
[17:10] <jbwiv_> tucemiux, are there other softphone clients for ubuntu that would work better?
[17:10] <atoi|laptop> jrib, essentially, yeah.
[17:10] <jrib> atoi|laptop: if you have aptitude: aptitude changelog apache2
[17:10] <atoi|laptop> I mean, I found this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4
[17:10] <atoi|laptop> jrib, ah...
[17:10] <tucemiux> oxicarus, ok so you had service in your ubuntu machine that were working before and accessible from the internet but now they only function locally and  not from the internet ?
[17:11] <reliability> Is there a way how one can set the main screen (the one displaying the menu bar) in Administrator->Monitors when using dual head?
[17:11] <reliability> I can't find such an option.
[17:11] <atoi|laptop> jrib, do you know if it's online somewhere?
[17:11] <tucemiux> jbwiv_,  look in the forums and search the web, if you do find of an answer let me know, I recently bought a headphone with a mic to try voice chat but havent had the time lately
[17:12] <jbwiv_> tucemiux, ok, cool. did you buy bluetooth or something else?
[17:12] <jrib> atoi|laptop: that command actually fetches it from changelogs.ubuntu.com .  packages.ubuntu.com may be a saner interface than directly accessing changelogs.ubuntu.com however
[17:12] <atoi|laptop> Ah, OK.
[17:12] <esing123> well
[17:12] <tucemiux> jbwiv_,  neither of my machines have bluetooth, I connect the headphone directly to my sound card
[17:12] <esing123> I found out that it works when I start x11vnc manually but why is autostart not working?
[17:12] <jbwiv_> tucemiux, ok, thanks
[17:13] <Abhijit> !dualhead | reliability
[17:13] <esing123> I can see x11vnc in my tasks though after reboot !!
[17:13] <reliability> ubottu: thx
[17:13] <esing123> how do I write this Exec=x11vnc -gui tray=setpass -rfbport PROMPT -bg -o %%HOME/.x11vnc.log.%%VNCDISPLAY
[17:13] <esing123>                     so like it stays all the time open although the connection is aborted from the client side?
[17:14] <atoi|laptop> Thanks a bunch, jrib. :)
[17:14] <jrib> atoi|laptop: no problem
[17:17] <RussellAlan> hi, ubuntu crashed on me the other day, when i reboot says, no init found
[17:17] <RussellAlan> can someone point me in the right direction?
[17:17] <mika__> hi, any ppa for firefox4?
[17:17] <mongy> in the rsync manpage it says "famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the differences between the source files and the existing files in the destination", so I have tried with a 10gig vbox vdi, I changed it by adding a 200mb zeroed file inside it, then run rsync which just sent the whole file again.  what am I missing.
[17:17] <Abhijit> RussellAlan, which version of ubuntu?
[17:18] <llutz_> mongy: what was your exact command?
[17:18] <RussellAlan> Abhijit, the latest.

[17:20] <Dio_Scannato> hello everyone, i need some help setting up some pc's with ubuntu installed as "public computers" , any hardening tips you could give me to make sure they arent violated easily?
[17:20] <mongy> llutz, "--update                skip files that are newer on the receiver" ?
[17:20] <DynamicFail> I had an external harddrive in windows that someone ctrl alt del while searching and now it appears as 0 data on it in windows and doesn't show up in ubuntu... anything you guys could suggest on how i might be able to recover it using ubuntu?
[17:20] <dajhorn> esing123: If you want `screen` for X11 applications, then try the xpra package.
[17:21] <Dio_Scannato> DynamicFail: doesnt show up in ubuntu or grub?
[17:21] <Abhijit> abhijeet, no. you need to get it manualy from their website. there are some ppa's on laucnhpad too
[17:21] <DynamicFail> Dio_Scannato, well when I plug it in, I don't see anything on the desktop show up... and I don't see anything in disk utiility

[17:22] <garyholt> Hello.. I have a HP 6910p laptop and I am wondering if anyone know how to activate the fingerprint reader?
[17:22] <Mathuin> Is there any reason to choose 32bit over 64bit when running on 64bit-capable hardware?
[17:22] <tripelb> DynamicFail, does fdisk show anything?  Can you use fdisk nondestructively?
[17:22] <abhijeet> Abhijit, I have downloaded the tar file for mozilla site.. but the firefox lool and feel seems ugly...
[17:22] <Abhijit> Mathuin, no
[17:22] <mika__> dryicebomb: no problem :) i've added the firefox-stable ppa, but still no 4.0... i think i'll just have to wait some more :)
[17:22] <Abhijit> !64 | Mathuin
[17:22] <Abhijit> Mathuin, go for 64
[17:22] <Dio_Scannato> DynamicFail: try mounting it, you know whats its sda/sdb number?
[17:22]  * tripelb is a seeker like you DynamicFail - nothing I say is true, all is speculation and trial.
[17:22] <abhijeet> Abhijit, it seems like old age Gnome
[17:22] <Mathuin> Abhijit: I only ask because the download page recommends 32-bit.  I'll take 64, thanks!
[17:23] <Abhijit> abhijeet, yeah
[17:23] <RussellAlan> thanks Abhijit, will reboot and see if it worked.
[17:23] <Abhijit> Mathuin, that page is not updated. dont listen to that page. go for 64
[17:23] <Abhijit> RussellAlan, hmm
[17:23] <tripelb> DynamicFail, http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/tech_support_cheat_sheet.png lol
[17:24] <DynamicFail> Dio_Scannato, how can you mount it if you don't see it in disk utility
[17:24] <Dio_Scannato> DynamicFail: good point , was worth trying mount tho
[17:24] <Mathuin> What's the essential difference between server and desktop editions?
[17:25] <Dio_Scannato> Mathuin: that desktop is to access the internet services, server is to give internet services, very basic and incorrect explanation but i hope it helps
[17:25] <dryicebomb> Mathuin: server doesn't run a graphical interface by default
[17:25] <dajhorn> Mathuin: Everything in the server edition is available in the desktop edition.  Go with desktop.
[17:25] <bcessa> hi there, I'm trying to install oracle-xe on AMD64 ubuntu server, I added this to package sources "deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free" but I get this error message as soon as I try to run apt-get upgrade: W: Failed to fetch http://oss.oracle.com/debian/dists/unstable/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[17:25] <BluesKaj> 1server
[17:25] <Mathuin> Dio_Scannato: no, that's a pretty decent explanation, and dryicebomb's addition is all I really needed.
[17:25] <Dio_Scannato> Mathuin: also, you could turn dekstop in server and vice-versa
[17:25] <bcessa> any ideas on how to accomplish this?
[17:25] <Mathuin> dajhorn: this is a headless box, I don't want to install X and friends unless I have to.
[17:25] <BluesKaj> !server
[17:26] <mello> hi! i daownloaded firefox 4 on form there website but how do i install it under ubuntu 10.10? its just a folder with a bunch of files dont really know how to update my current FF 3.6->4.0 thank you
[17:26] <Dio_Scannato> mello: lookup the firefox ppa
[17:26] <Abhijit> mello, please read the READ ME file inside that folder
[17:27] <dajhorn> bcessa:  Oracle does not publish 64-bit binaries there.
[17:27] <Dio_Scannato> mello: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable
[17:27] <tucemiux> Mathuin, the server edition is mainly for server services, like web server, file server, etc.  -- it only has the minimal software to act as a server -- it has no GUI, the desktop edition has a desktop manager with GUI, although you can use the desktop version as a server it would be less secure because of all the extra packages you need to maintain
[17:27] <bcessa> dajhorn: ok, so I'm guessing I've to install it manually right?
[17:27] <Dio_Scannato> mello: i think it would be better to follow Abhijit's instructions though, supposed to explain you how to do everything on your own
[17:27] <dajhorn> bcessa:   You'll need to force it.
[17:28] <bcessa> don't know how, I'll google it :o
[17:28] <dajhorn> bcessa:   dpkg --install --force-architecture MyPackage.deb
[17:28] <mello> Dio_Scannato: thank u, well the readme file didnt contai anything helpful for me just a link to a page a have spent the last 30min to find some help
[17:28] <dajhorn> bcessa: Forcing packages can break your system.  Run the Oracle stuff on 32-bits if you can.
[17:29] <Abhijit> oh mello  sorry you are talking about firefox!!!! :-D its very simple! just go to terminal cd to the firefox directory and chmod +x ./firefox and then just do ./firefox
[17:29] <bcessa> can't really, the server is AMD64, but thnx for the advice, will keep it in mind :)
[17:29] <Dio_Scannato> mello: the readme Abhijit told you to read though is supposed to have (in most cases) instructions usefull in any case, infos about compiling packaging and so on but if you want it quick and dirty go on lol
[17:29] <garyholt> Hello.. I have a HP 6910p laptop and I am wondering if anyone know how to activate the fingerprint reader?

[17:30] <Mathuin> One last question for you folks:  is this the channel to discuss Ubuntu Cloud or is that elsewhere?
[17:30] <Dio_Scannato> Abhijit: lol, in fact firefox doesnt give compile guides, both's mistake lol

[18:00] <SixThreeOh> How can I install flash for firefox? No matter what I do it claims I'm using flash 9 on windows XP
[18:00] <quup> I used checkinstall and now apt is totally fucked: apt-get --dry-run -f install  gives: http://pastebin.com/zc9BDpZj   what can I do?
[18:00] <quup> apt-get dist-upgrade gives: http://pastebin.com/QLyNPFwF

[18:01] <joeyr> anybody familiar with plop, or booting an external hd with Ubuntu from a flashdrive?
[18:02] <b1lly> i ran nvidia-bug-report and it created a log.gz file but i cant view it, it looks like acsii
[18:02] <ruan> SixThreeOh: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin ?
[18:02] <Kimmen> b1lly: log.gz is a gzip file
[18:03] <b1lly> oo, so how do i extract it and view it
[18:03] <Kimmen> try tar -xzvf log.gz
[18:03] <ruan> b1lly: from terminal or gui?
[18:04] <b1lly> either or
[18:04] <b1lly> terminal
[18:04] <b1lly> pref
[18:04] <ruan> you can use tar or 7z to extract it
[18:04] <wildc4rd> evenin all!
[18:04] <Abhijit> !usb | joeyr
[18:05] <b1lly> ruan: i do sudo tar nvidia-bug-report.log.gz
[18:05] <b1lly> missing argument
[18:05] <ruan> b1lly: sudo tar -xzvf
[18:06] <b1lly> "this does not look like a tar archive"
[18:06] <b1lly> sudo tar -xzvf nvidia-bug-report.log.gz
[18:06] <joeyr> ubottu: I have a usb and a flashdrive. I have ubuntu on my external, and I am trying to access it by using a bootloader to get to the external, because even though I changed the bios settings to have the external be read first, it says "this device is unbootable"
[18:06] <ruan> 7z supports gzip, install it
[18:06] <Besogon> b1lly, unzip?
[18:07] <ruan> or unzip
[18:07] <b1lly> idk i just want to be able to read the log files
[18:07] <b1lly> so i guess i want to unzip it first right?
[18:07] <ruan> whichever works.
[18:08] <Kimmen> or gunzip
[18:08] <b1lly> how do i install gunzip?
[18:08] <b1lly> sudo apt-get install gunzip ?
[18:08] <chobbs> Anyone handy with google's calendar API?
[18:08] <Kimmen> yup
[18:08] <ruan> b1lly: it comes with ubuntu i believe
[18:08] <ruan> !info gunzip
[18:08] <Pici> b1lly: That file isn't tarred, so just tar zvf file.gz
[18:08] <Pici> b1lly: no need for the 'x'
[18:08] <ruan> !info unzip
[18:09] <shmup> so what do you think i should look into for flickering. when my laptop starts to dim, because it's been idle for a few minutes, as it's nearing shutting off the display
[18:09] <shmup> instead of a gradual decline in brightness.. it flickers as well
[18:09] <b1lly> sudo tar -zvf nvidia-bug-report.log.gz
[18:09] <b1lly> tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' or `--test-label'  options
[18:09] <b1lly> Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
[18:09] <shmup> then the display goes black, like it should~
[18:09] <shmup> this isn't related to something going bad, just how my laptop is handling dimming
[18:10] <Pici> b1lly: fine, gunzip is installed by default, so you could use that too.  Alternatively, if you just want to view it, you could use zless (which I think is also installed by default).
[18:10] <b1lly> pici areon you talking about the gui or is this somethings thats cmdline based
[18:10] <ruan> i prefer 7z.. saves time for this kind of thing
[18:10] <Pici> b1lly: these are all command line things.
[18:11] <Besogon> b1lly, Have you tried unzip -j file.gz?
[18:11] <joeyr> Abhijit: hey, do you know what I'm talking about?
[18:11] <SixThreeOh> How can I uninstall flash player 9?
[18:12] <SixThreeOh> It just wont go away
[18:12] <ruan> SixThreeOh: does it show up in firefox plugin list?
[18:12] <SixThreeOh> yes
[18:12] <joeyr> Abhijit: I'm new to IRC, so I don't know what "!usb | joeyr" means
[18:12] <Abhijit> joeyr, no. explain
[18:12] <Besogon> b1lly, or gunzip -d file.gz?
[18:12] <Abhijit> aaaaaah
[18:12] <SixThreeOh> even after apt-get remove and reinstall
[18:12] <ruan> SixThreeOh: multiple versions of flash?
[18:12] <ruan> SixThreeOh: or only 9?
[18:12] <SixThreeOh> just 9
[18:12] <Abhijit> joeyr, read the lines below the "!usb | joeyr" line
[18:13] <SixThreeOh> non of the apt packages appear to provide 10
[18:13] <ruan> what about adobe-flashplugin ?

[18:17] <chiiiiiz> hello!!!
[18:17] <chiiiiiz> I have the strangest problem.
[18:17] <ruan> ua: you might need to change your download mirror
[18:17] <chiiiiiz> I am using Ubuntu for 5 years, and I think I quite know well how to deal with most of the minor troubles
[18:18] <Pici> ruan: Deban is not supported here, and that is a debian repository.
[18:18] <ruan> alright then
[18:18] <ua> this is my error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/583911/
[18:18] <chiiiiiz> But now... when I click on any of my Shortcuts (Home, Images, Videos...), Nautilus does not open the place, but instead, VLC opens a video
[18:18] <zvacet> ruan:  mixing repos may not be good idea
[18:19] <SixThreeOh> I guess it's just broken
[18:19] <ruan> chiiiiiz: change open with default
[18:19] <Pici> ua: Those are all debian repisitories.  We do not support debian here. Please use #debian for support.
[18:19] <chiiiiiz> how to do it on a menu item?
[18:19] <Pici> ua: actually, you seem to have mixed debian and Ubuntu repos.
[18:19] <Pici> ua: What does lsb_release -a say?
[18:20] <ruan> chiiiiiz: right click a shortcut to a folder, open with Open Folder
[18:21] <ruan> chiiiiiz: oh
[18:21] <vooze> Stupid question; How do i install the new firefix 4? I just got the file and extracted it, and i can run ./firefox in the folder from terminal.. but i cant seem to install it

[18:24] <Athenon> ruan:  all of the new versions are going to consistently look like that, so you might as well get used to it

[18:29] <Dio_Scannato> Counterspell: anytime
[18:29] <JTS000ID> terry: I have a custom app that I have developed for multiple platforms. My install everywhere is working fine but it currently doesn't create a laucher in the Applications menu. Just simply installs the app where I tell it to

[18:29] <terry> JTS000ID: If so, find it in the menu and right click on it and choose to create launcher.
[18:29] <JTS000ID> terry: Has to be part of install process
[18:30] <JTS000ID> It will be installed on 1000's of machines and we can't send our people 1000+ times

[18:32] <b1lly> im using a laptop and trying to hookup the second monitor thru the HDMI port, with a hdmi to vga converter
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Ruan: but you will need to tell your apps to use the browser command firefox-4.0 and not firefox
[18:32] <Lars_G> zvacet: doest work
[18:32] <JTS000ID> ruan: I tried to put my app under /usr/share/applications but that didn't make any difference

[18:32] <Salih87> 10.10 maverick
[18:32] <ruan> JTS000ID: it could be a gnome thing

[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Salih87: pulse has had that for ages
[18:32] <Lars_G> I just want to know where the post install scripts are stored on a half installed package, to edit it, and be done with this
[18:33] <JTS000ID> ruan: yes that's a good point..research concluded that it's a gnome thing

[18:37] <Jemt> Hello. Where do Ubuntu store default settings for Firefox? Firefox is aware of the apt:// protocol, so either it was compiled with support for this, it is read from somewhere, or it is defined in a "defaults" configuration file
[18:37] <Lars_G> ActionParsnip: Btw about paid apps there are many many many in many areas
[18:37] <ruan> Jemt: /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile.default?
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Seppoz: edit ~/.bashrc and the last if statement will probably be commented out
[18:38] <Lars_G> Games, wine versions, developer tools, systems
[18:38] <ruan> Jemt: not really sure though
[18:38] <Seppoz> let me see
[18:38] <Jemt> ruan: Thanks, but that's for a specific user. I need to find the "template" configuration used when a new user is created :)
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Lars_G: i'm well aware. I've used Linux based OSes for many moons
[18:39] <bin_bash> Hello. I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 running 10.04 Lucid. This thing keeps getting ridiculously hot. What do?
[18:39] <Seppoz> http://pastebin.com/pBQQ5RJm
[18:39] <kbrosnan> Jemt: it is not a firefox setting
[18:39] <Seppoz> thats now it looks ActionParsnip
[18:39] <Seppoz> oh, the bashrc
[18:39] <Seppoz> sec
[18:39] <kbrosnan> Jemt: it is a customiztion that Ubuntu does
[18:39] <Jemt> kbrosnan: Sure it is. Check  about:config - Firefox pre-approves the apt:// protocol, so the user is never ask what application to use with this protocol
[18:40] <kbrosnan> Jemt: possibly they register with gonme http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol#All_Firefox_versions
[18:40] <kbrosnan> Jemt: trust me it is a Ubuntu customization
[18:40] <jrib> Jemt: if you look at your firefox extensions, you'll see an ubuntu-related extension.  I think that's where the apt:// support comes from.  The extension is just installed in some system-wide firefox folder
[18:40] <Jemt> kbrosnan: Yes, that's how I registered my own protocol. But Firefox asks the user what application to use the first time the protocol is used
[18:41] <Jemt> jrib: Okay, interesting. I'll look into that. Thank you :)
[18:41] <jrib> !info xul-ext-ubufox | Jemt, its description doesn't list the apt:// protocol though
[18:41] <Jemt> I found it. /etc/firefox/pref :)
[18:42] <Jemt> jrib: I think configuration is read from the directory I just mentioned :)
[18:42] <ZeMane> hello ppl
[18:42] <jrib> Jemt: yes
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Seppoz: uncomment from line 31 to 34, save the new file and run: source ~/.bashrc  and it will be fine
[18:42] <jrib> Jemt: it's not related to the extension I mentioned
[18:43] <Jemt> jrib: Nope, doesn't seem that way. Thank you for your advice :)
[18:43] <Jemt> help, rather :)
[18:43] <ZeMane> anyone knows of a good aplication to copy music from the computer to an android phone?i mean,one that will organise the songs by artists and such

[18:43] <terry> ZeMane: Install file expert on the android phone
[18:43] <myradlife> How can I make a bootable usb from a dmg file? I would know how to do this on Mac DiskUtility, but not sure how this is possible in ubuntu

[18:44] <ActionParsnip> ZeMane: i transfer with nautilus but my files are pre-organized
[18:45] <terry> ZeMane: Fire up file expert and turn on webserver and ftp server and you have to options and you can upload files to any directory on the phone

[18:46] <terry> ZeMane: Yea, it's a breeze.
[18:47] <terry> ZeMane: If you have wifi, just tell it to connect to your wifi (you probably already do that), and then just go to the IP address it gives you.  file expert is a free app.
[18:48] <ZeMane> terry: now THAT's a feature i wanna see ,i'm installing the thing now,hell yeah
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> ter0u: i suggest you change your password and in future identify in the lobby to avoid broadcasting like that
[18:49] <terry> ZeMane: That way you can share files with any computer you want, long as there is wifi network to connect to.
[18:50] <littlebearz> terry: nice, i personally use andftp and upload mine to a private ftp xd
[18:50] <ruan> hm.. is there a way i can transfer files over my wifi then?
[18:50] <littlebearz> ruan: dropbox i think would do
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Terry: sounds unsecure if you auto connect to open networks and people start sniffing at your phone
[18:50] <ruan> littlebearz: would that work with windows as well?
[18:50] <terry> littlebearz: Yea,  I don't know about andftp but file expert works like a charm.
[18:51] <vanguard> I copied my firefox profile from Kubuntu, and now it looks pretty strange on ubuntu. How can I get it back to normal?
[18:51] <terry> ActionParsnip: You only turn it on when you want.
[18:51] <littlebearz> ruan: dropbox is started for windows in the beginning, but it's not open sourced I think
[18:51] <myradlife> Guys, any help with how to restore a dmg to a usb drive?
[18:51] <littlebearz> ruan: so if you want open sourced, get filezilla server for ftp and use any ftp client in your mobile device connect to local
[18:51] <ruan> ok
[18:52] <vanguard> myradlife: you mean a Mac OS dmg?
[18:52] <khomfy> hi. i have ubuntu with gnome and kubuntu installed on the same machine. i want to get rid of kubuntu but i cannot find anything in the package manager.
[18:52] <usuario__> hola
[18:52] <ruan> what speed will it transfer at?
[18:52] <littlebearz> myradlife:  that depends on how destroyed it is? try to see if yoan mount it?
[18:52] <terry> ActionParsnip: Obviously you would't just leave it running all the time.
[18:52] <khomfy> can someone help me?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> Terry: andftp can connect to sftp if you run an openssh server
[18:52] <littlebearz> ruan: if it's wifi, it's around 200Kb/s locally and depending on your ISP for internet, it might be around 20kb/s internet with 2G
[18:53] <ruan> i had 600 kB/s locally, my ISP shares files
[18:53] <ruan> hmm. i wonder if they still give that
[18:54] <littlebearz> ruan: um. my own android 2.1 goes 1.3Mbps on local traffic, but i've only seen it couple times
[18:54] <lbdremy> hello
[18:54] <ruan> sadly my isp only shares files for windows :/
[18:54] <ruan> they used to have ubuntu isos on their servers
[18:55] <terry> khomfy: Here's how it works:  You ask a question.  Someone that knows something about your issue will answer.
[18:55] <juk> sacarlson: i removed that key, now after relogin, git poped up and asking for password
[18:55] <myradlife> vanguard, littlebearz I have a dmg image and I want to make that image on a usb disk. Yes it's a mac image. I am reinstalling my Mac, but I only have access to my ubuntu computer to do this.
[18:55] <khomfy> how can i uninstall kubuntu ?
[18:56] <lbdremy> hello guys, I don't understand why ubuntu logout without my authorization, do you know why ?
[18:56] <littlebearz> lbdremy: either security reason for screen lock etc
[18:56] <terry> !kubuntu >  khomfy
[18:56] <ruan> lbdremy: when does it logout?
[18:57] <maco> khomfy: in what way? as in, you want to stop using *buntu at all and go back to windows/osx?  then reinstall the OS you want. or do you mean just uninstall all the kde packages on an otherwise ubuntu system?
[18:57] <khomfy> no
[18:57] <terry> !kde | khomfy
[18:57] <khomfy> i have gnome and kde
[18:57] <lbdremy> sometimes without apparent reasons when I use chrome
[18:57] <khomfy> i want to get rid of kde
[18:57] <ukubuntu> Hi all which is the lightest ubuntu? I have xubuntu but is there a faster one? I have a geode processor and 512 Mb RAM? Cheers
[18:57] <IdleOne> !puregrnome | khomfy
[18:57] <Fandark> #premiere
[18:57] <IdleOne> !puregnome | khomfy
[18:57] <ruan> khomfy: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop ?
[18:58] <ruan> or above
[18:58] <terry> khomfy: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[18:58] <lbdremy> @ruan sometimes without apparent reasonw when I use chrome
[18:58] <littlebearz> khomfy: sudo apt-get remove kde
[18:58] <khomfy> i`ll try it
[18:58] <khomfy> thanks guys
[18:58] <littlebearz> khomfy: wait, copy theirs, mine might be wrong
[18:58] <IdleOne> ruan: that command will work partially, it leaves behind a lot of packages.
[18:58] <ruan> lbdremy: does it lock the screen?
[18:58] <DasEi> ukubuntu: could try minimal install with icewm or lubuntu
[18:59] <terry> khomfy: Needs to go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome  and see what it says.
[18:59] <myradlife> littlebearz, see my last msg? sorry to pester!
[18:59] <DasEi> ukubuntu: expert install, then only install the soft you need
[18:59] <regeya> I've been trying out e17 on my netbook.  I'm surprised how fast it is, given that it's enlightenment ;-)
[19:00] <khomfy> nope
[19:00] <ukubuntu> Thanks DasEi, I guess taht can be done from just a usb stick and lan?
[19:00] <khomfy> it says that kubuntu was not found and therefore not removed
[19:00] <littlebearz> myradlife: I'm sorry xd? i'm on a school computer so don't have the log file
[19:00] <DasEi> ukubuntu: no, can do from all kinds, use alternate or (see:)
[19:00] <DasEi> !minimal
[19:00] <silverarrow> any wireless experts here?
[19:01] <myradlife> littlebearz,  I have a dmg image and I want to make that image on a usb disk. Yes it's a mac image. I am reinstalling my Mac, but I only have access to my ubuntu computer to do this.
[19:01] <silverarrow> I have a new USB wifi adaptor, and lubuntu will not detect it
[19:01] <ukubuntu> many thanks DasEi I will try it out, many many thanks
[19:01] <DasEi> ukubuntu: you choose to the beginning which mode you want to install, there choose minimal with no soft, so just get a commandline in first hands, tips :
[19:01] <terry> regeya: It is probably something like this:  Gnome is faster than KDE. enlightnement is faster than gnome.  xfce is faster than enlightenment.  fluxbox is faster than xfce  etc.etc.etc.
[19:01] <silverarrow> it is a new ralink card I think at least the internal parts
[19:01] <DasEi> !low memory
[19:01] <b1lly> does anyone know why ubuntu wont detect me external monitor? I have a laptop with HDMI output-> utilizes a HDMI to DVI converter cable that connects into the DVI port of my monitor
[19:02] <Holden> hello, someone with an amd processor, could tell me what's the value of: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency ?
[19:02] <littlebearz> myradlife: um. I don't have a mac, so not sure how the image file could handle IO error, but I would say don't try to reinstall since it's damaged
[19:02] <littlebearz> myradlife: if it's under warantee then go to apple
[19:02] <regeya> terry: I think that's one of those "ymmv" things.  XFCE used to be faster for me, but nowadays...meh.
[19:02] <reliability> Is there a way how one can set the main screen (the one displaying the menu bar) in Administrator->Monitors when using dual head?
[19:02] <littlebearz> myradlife: or else ask ppl here for mac support :(
[19:02] <coz_> Holden,  if no one here knows switch to the #radeon channel
[19:02] <coz_> Holden,  nevermind
[19:03] <coz_> confusing amd with ati
[19:03] <enterneo> is it possible to forward X11 over two ssh sessions?
[19:03] <myradlife> littlebearz, nothing is damaged. I have to reinstall OSX on my harddrive, and I'm just trying to get the install image (which is .dmg) onto a usb stick (mounted as a bootable drive).
[19:03] <ruan> Holden: 28000
[19:03] <Holden> coz_, :)
[19:03] <DasEi> ukubuntu: http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBkQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2Fcommunity%2FInstallation%2FLowMemorySystems&ei=WPKITb6vOon4sgawt8WoDA&usg=AFQjCNG6NYd6BtzQJzL6XDdMShRyYfP6hA&sig2=bqUfKzVeZ73MwftxBigtzw
[19:03] <terry> regeya: I don't know what ymmv means but as I said:  "It is PORBABLY like this:"
[19:03] <DasEi> ups , tiny ..
[19:03] <Holden> ruan, thanks, what cpu?
[19:03] <regeya> hehe
[19:03] <regeya> we are in agreement terry
[19:03] <ruan> Holden: amd sempron 140
[19:04] <ukubuntu> Thank you DasEi ...work to do : )
[19:04] <Holden> ruan, hmm, ok. i have an old sempron but I get 107000... quite bigger
[19:04] <DasEi> ukubuntu: ask if  needed
[19:05] <ukubuntu> Many thanks
[19:05] <NCS_One> hi
[19:06] <geez> Howdy, just installed shorewall on my ubuntu 10.10 w/ the doco. where to invoke shorewall. looked in applications and system and nothing. is this command-line only?
[19:06] <rypervenche> How can I open a db4 file? I need to edit what's inside.
[19:06] <renga> someone can tell me if there are some optimizations that I can do to bind9 in ubuntu 10.04?
[19:06] <lbdremy> I don't understand why sometimes my ubuntu logout to my session without my authorization. Any ideas ?
[19:06] <NCS_One> I'm trying to install a package that says it depends of one other, but when I try to install tha later it says it depends on the former. what can I do?
[19:06] <terry> regeya: Some differences are small... kde and gnome are neck and neck almost.  over the years it's been back and forth which is faster and sometimes hard to tell... you can say the same of others as  you pare them up.
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> rypervenche: what sort of file is it?
[19:07] <ruan> NCS_One: what happens if you try to install both at once?
[19:07] <rypervenche> ActionParsnip: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order)
[19:08] <NCS_One> ruan: I downloaded the deb packages, how do I install both at once?
[19:08] <lbdremy> I don't understand why sometimes my ubuntu logout to my session without my authorization. Any ideas ?
[19:08] <coz_> cd to location//   sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[19:09] <regeya> very true terry.  it's also weird how they sometimes switch main focus with each other.  kde used to be the one that was all about functionality, and gnome was focused on being as flexible as possible.
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> !info db4.8-util
[19:09] <regeya> but I'll leave the ot talk to someone else
[19:09] <IdleOne> NCS_One: what package are you trying to install?
[19:09] <coz_> NCS_One,    cd to the location of the .deb packages    then   sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[19:10] <NCS_One> IdleOne: lazarus
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> regeya: try lxde too. Its fast and functional. Great on laptops
[19:11] <agnaldo> alguem pode me dar uma dica, Instalei ubuntu dentro do windows, estando no ubuntu tenho q acessar a partição principal do windows, eu tento montar, mas nao tou conseguindo
[19:11] <Osmodivs> Eu soy Do Minas Gerasi
[19:12] <ruan> hmm. what language is that?
[19:12] <IdleOne> NCS_One: follow coz_ suggestion
[19:12] <regeya> ned #ubuntu
[19:12] <regeya> 13:59 < regeya> I've been trying out e17 on my netbook.  I'm surprised how fast it is, given that it's enlightenment  ;-)
[19:12] <NCS_One> coz_: thanks
[19:12] <regeya> 13:59 -!- AbhijitKane<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[19:12] <regeya> yeah, how do you tell the bot, um, is that portugues?
[19:13] <coz_> NCS_One,  if no other .deb packages are in that location ,, that command will install them in order of installation... at least that is what I have found
[19:13] <IdleOne> !pt | Osmodivs
[19:13] <ruan> pt is portugese factoid
[19:13] <terry> geez: I recommend ufw
[19:13] <terry> !ufs | geez
[19:14] <ruan> ^ufw
[19:14] <juk> !firewall
[19:14] <digirak> im consistently having this issue with ubuntu getting sluggish when i dont shut down for more than a couple of days
[19:15] <agnaldo> tranks!
[19:15] <digirak> my friend tells me it could be a memory leak
[19:15] <ruan> digirak: are there enough system resources?
[19:15] <meta_circular> added a new ACCEPT rule to iptables, it shows up when I do iptables -L, but when I nmap from another machine, it's showing that port is still not opened.  anything else I should be doing?
[19:15] <digirak> ruan: yes, u mean cpu usage?
[19:15] <ruan> digirak: check system monitor
[19:16] <ruan> cpu/ram
[19:16] <digirak> ruan: yes i believe so, but it still gets sluggish
[19:16] <terry> !ufw | geez
[19:16] <artistx> help
[19:16] <terry> I did a typo earlier...
[19:17] <digirak> ruan: how do i check for a leak here
[19:17] <artistx> and idea how to fix a install of digikam 1.9.0
[19:17] <ruan> digirak: in system monitor?
[19:17] <Alex--> When I close my laptop, it goes on stand-by. But when I open it again my screen is black.
[19:17] <digirak> ruan: yes
[19:17] <ruan> digirak: check resources tab
[19:17] <ruan> digirak: and processes
[19:17] <terry> digirak: top
[19:17] <ruan> top in a terminal also works, though system monitor is gui
[19:17] <rypervenche> ActionParsnip: So I should use db4.8-util?
[19:17] <zeroman> Ctrl+Alt+L doesn't lock my screen most of the time. Why is this?
[19:18] <lbdremy> I don't understand why sometimes my ubuntu logout to my session without my authorization. Any ideas ?
[19:18] <digirak> ruan: yes i see that but then how do i know this is a leak issue?
[19:18] <topaz1> hi
[19:18] <ruan> digirak: if there isn't much ram free
[19:18] <ruan> digirak: or an application is using too much ram
[19:18] <topaz1> i need some guidance on installing full KDE along with Ubuntu
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> rypervenche: sounds likely
[19:18] <topaz1> pm me pls
[19:18] <terry> !kde | topaz1
[19:18] <coz_> topaz1,   sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[19:18] <ruan> topaz1: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-deskto
[19:18] <ruan> p
[19:19] <Alex--> When I close my laptop, it goes on stand-by. But when I open it again my screen is black.
[19:19] <digirak> Alex--: press any key
[19:19] <digirak> it will connect
[19:19] <terry> Alex--: What happens when you press the power button?
[19:19] <Alex--> digirak: nothing happens
[19:19] <terry> Alex--: What happens when you press the power button?
[19:19] <Alex--> terry: nothing
[19:19] <terry> Alex--: How much ram do you have?
[19:19] <Alex--> 1,2 gb
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> topaz1: install kubuntu-desktop and you can choose between at login
[19:20] <zeroman> I have a long list of problems with Ubuntu, anyone who is willing to help please pm me.
[19:20] <terry> Alex--: How big is your swap?
[19:20] <Alex--> how to find it?
[19:20] <terry> Alex--: sudo fdsik -l
[19:20] <coz_> zeroman,   it would be best to deal with those problems in here ;)
[19:20] <ruan> Alex--: gparted or sudo fdisk -l
[19:20] <terry> Alex--: free
[19:20] <desu> Alex--, does it suspend or does it hibernate?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Alex--: what make and model is it?
[19:21] <tangiers> just stopping by
[19:21] <Alex--> what's the difference between suspend and hibernate desu ?
[19:21] <Alex--> ActionParsnip: packard bell easynote
[19:21] <Alex--> desu: ^
[19:21] <desu> Alex--, in suspend, stuff stays in your ram, and in hibernate it's written to hdd
[19:21] <erUSUL> Alex--: suspend to ram and suspend to disk ( hibernate )
[19:21] <desu> ^ what erUSUL said
[19:22] <Alex--> to ram
[19:22] <Alex--> i have dutch linux; it says: linux wisselgeheugen
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Alex--: does it have any numbers or letters or is easynote as accurate as it gets?
[19:22] <digirak> ruan: could my problem be because i am suspending for too long a time?
[19:22] <terry> Alex--: What is wisselgeheugen ?
[19:22] <desu> Alex--, sometimes my ubuntu system takes a while to get back to a usable state after a wakeup. have you tried waiting a few minutes?
[19:23] <artistx>  Depends: libkabc4 (>=4:4.3.4) but it is not installable any idea how to fix this
[19:23] <ruan> digirak: maybe
[19:24] <digirak> should I start hibernating instead of suspending before I sleep?
[19:24] <Seven_Six_Two> I created a partition for grub when I installed, but it seems to be in the wrong place now that I've taken apart and reassembled... I moved the grub folder to the correct partition and fixed my fstab (using uuid this time!). Is there anything else I have to do before I reboot?
[19:24] <artistx>  Depends: libkabc4 (>=4:4.3.4) but it is not installable how do you fix it
[19:24] <digirak> before I hit the sack I mean
[19:24] <ruan> digirak: it'll be better for the ram i guess
[19:24] <rcmaehl> how do I sudo apt-get install a .tar.bz2 file (firefox 4, got it directly from the mozilla site)?
[19:25] <l3niwi3c> posiada ktoś desire?
[19:25] <Kimmen> you have to unpack it first
[19:25] <rcmaehl> ok
[19:25] <tangiers> bbak later
[19:25] <Seven_Six_Two> rcmaehl, you can't. a tar.bz is a compressed file. open with ark or similar
[19:25] <rcmaehl> but it's a package
[19:25] <zeroman> I'll start with a simple one then: Sometimes Ctrl+Alt+L will not lock my screen. It appears to be random and static with each boot. (Each time I boot, Ctrl+Alt+L will either work, or it won't)
[19:25] <ruan> rcmaehl: you can also install firefox 4 with the ppa
[19:25] <rcmaehl> ruan: is it ff4 final?
[19:25] <kbrosnan> rcmaehl: it is not an installer
[19:25] <ruan> rcmaehl: yes, firefox-stable
[19:25] <zeroman> This is on 10.10
[19:25] <Seven_Six_Two> rcmaehl, it may be a package inside, but it's not an ubuntu package
[19:26] <juk> !pl | l3niwi3c
[19:26] <rcmaehl> ruan: what is the ppa?
[19:26] <kbrosnan> rcmaehl: it is just an folder that you extract to your perfered location
[19:26] <ruan> rcmaehl: i'll get it
[19:26] <rcmaehl> ruan: thx
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> rcmaehl: use the mozilla ppa. Far easier. You cannot apt-get install archives
[19:26] <ruan> https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable
[19:26] <bin_bash> How do you wake ubuntu up from hibernation?
[19:26] <Alex---> I had connection problems
[19:27] <Alex---> I said: it was suspend (to ram)
[19:27] <rcmaehl> ruan: so sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable ?
[19:27] <ruan> rcmaehl: yes
[19:27] <terry> Alex---:  Test your RAM
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Can someone please make a ff4 factoid
[19:27] <ruan> yeeaah
[19:27] <Alex---> terry, why and how?
[19:27] <ruan> !ff4
[19:28] <artistx> so any ideas to get digikam installed
[19:28] <terry> Alex---: To see if you might have a bad chip.  Use memtest
[19:28] <zeroman> Anybody?
[19:28] <terry> Alex---: How much ram do you have?
[19:28] <DrDetroit> Hello
[19:28] <funch> hei
[19:29] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: you can request it yourself. « /msg ubottu ff4 is <reply>youre msg here »  but do not hold your breath waitibng for it to get anywhere ;P
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> ruan: its a bit more than that but one is needed so all the people wanting to see the hype can get it
[19:29] <DrDetroit> I have been using 10.04 LTS since about july 10 and it has worked fine
[19:29] <funch> got a quick question, is it possible to change /etc/fstab from 2'nd OS without chroot ?
[19:29] <Alex---> "<ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ff4"
[19:29] <terry> funch: Yes
[19:29] <DrDetroit> however after the last set of updates, my machine has begun to run extremely slow
[19:30] <funch> terry could you explain me a bit how ?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: on my phone it'll take forever hence me asking. I know we can suggest them ;)
[19:30] <DrDetroit> I cant figure it out, I have run top and also ps aux to see what might be hogging resources but see nothing
[19:30] <Kimmen> DrDetroit: might be something else than CPU usage that slows your system down
[19:30] <Kimmen> such as interrupts or disk latency
[19:30] <DrDetroit> any idea what
[19:30] <DrDetroit> how can i find out
[19:31] <mithridates> I can't find firefox 4 on repositories! when will it be available?
[19:31] <DrDetroit> this was not happening before i did the last set of upgades
[19:31] <DrDetroit> its just really strange
[19:31] <terry> funch: Sure.  You can edit via terinal with the vi editor.  sudo vim /etc/fstab
[19:31] <_dreamy> "drm version too old to suport hyperZ " .. i get this error, whats drm first instance ? anyone helping?
[19:31] <Alex---> _dreamy, why not nano?
[19:31] <juk> !dick
[19:31] <rcmaehl> ruan: for the FF4 factiod: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:32] <rcmaehl> mithridates: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:32] <juk> wooops
[19:32] <IdleOne> juk: why are you trying to add unneeded factoids?
[19:32] <mithridates> rcmaehl: tnx
[19:32] <terry> funch: Open a terminal and type   vim /etc/fstab   (i for edit) make change(s)  Esc :  wq
[19:32] <funch> terry, but /etc/fstab is not available when the system is not booted ?
[19:32] <juk> IdleOne: uh, you saw that :/
[19:32] <_dreamy> Alex---: nano ? i should install that ?
[19:32] <IdleOne> juk: ops see almost everything yes
[19:32] <Kimmen> DrDetroit: begin with monitoring of cpu idle %
[19:32] <funch> i'm in OS nr1, need to change /etc/fstab from OS nr2
[19:33] <funch> for*
[19:33] <IdleOne> !scope > juk
[19:33] <GeekyAdam> hi all
[19:33] <rcmaehl> !ff4
[19:33] <funch> i'm in OS nr1, need to change /etc/fstab for OS nr2*
[19:33] <_dreamy> Alex---: whats drm ?
[19:33] <mithridates> rcmaehl: should I remove the old one by myself or it will replace that one?
[19:33] <Alex---> drm????
[19:33] <juk> IdleOne: ah, ok that learned me
[19:33] <rcmaehl> mithridates: it will replace the old one
[19:33] <Kimmen> 20% cpu usage does not always equal 80% idle
[19:33] <zeroman> Every time I unplug my laptop, it logs out and the computer completely locks up on 10.04. There is no way to get back into the desktop without rebooting. Why is this?
[19:33] <mithridates> great
[19:34] <Guest51247> hello all.i have a problem,seems that something is wrong with my phone since not ANY player can copy music to it's sdcard.i noticed that the mount point's name is weird,cŞH4,can that be the deal?
[19:34] <terry> funch: Let's go back to your original question.  "is it possible to change /etc/fstab from 2'nd OS without chroot?"  And my answer was yes.  Ok, let's go from there. (Your next question?)______________
[19:34] <GeekyAdam> looking for a simple command to copy my home directory to an external hdd. so far i've got cp -r * /mnt/external/ubuntubackup but it doesnt copy hidden files
[19:34] <Cube``> guys, how can i install FF4 the clean way on 10.10?
[19:34] <rcmaehl> Cube``: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:34] <AnthraxSSH>  Goodbye! :)
[19:35] <DrDetroit> Kimmen: I have used top to monitor that and cpu idle% will fluctuate
[19:35] <IndaGadafiDaVida> hello all.i have a problem,seems that something is wrong with my phone since not ANY player can copy music to it's sdcard.i noticed that the mount point's name is weird,cŞH4,can that be the deal?
[19:35] <terry> funch: Maybe you need to explain what "2'nd OS"  is.
[19:35] <funch> terry, I'm in OS nr1 and i need to change the /etc/fstab of another OS, lets call it OS nr2 and imo fstab aint created untill the OS nr2 is not booted or chroot'ed but i can't do neither of them but still need to change /etc/fstab
[19:35] <Alex---> rcmaehl, why isnt it in the software list?
[19:35] <rcmaehl> GeekyAdam: info cp
[19:35] <Alex---> firefox 4
[19:36] <rcmaehl> Alex---: idk
[19:36] <rypervenche> IndaGadafiDaVida: I've had a similar problem with my PSP. For some reason it's read-only on Ubuntu, but works fine on Windows. I have yet to find a solution. Mabe someone in here can help.
[19:36] <Alex---> when is it in it?
[19:36] <Kimmen> DrDetroit: itop can monitor interrupts, haven't tried it myself though
[19:36] <Cube``> rcmaehl: thanks
[19:36] <ruan> firefox 4 is in the https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable ppa
[19:36] <DrDetroit> between maybe 90% idle and 30% idle
[19:36] <IndaGadafiDaVida> yeah...it was working just fine yesterday though
[19:36] <rcmaehl> ruan: make a ff4 factiod plz
[19:36] <DrDetroit> bascially when this happens my load average jumps to close to 2.00 and my macnine slows horrible
[19:36] <Alex---> Lol, much windows games have system requirements: Windows XP or better. So I thought: Ubuntu is better than Windows
[19:37] <juk> is IE is dead???
[19:37] <DrDetroit> I think i Might regress 2 upgrades to see if it gboes away
[19:37] <GeekyAdam> rcmaehl: do you mean man cp? ive checked the cp man pages but didnt find anything on hidden files
[19:37] <zeroman> Wow, great support everyone. I think I'll go install XP Pro so I no longer have an OS that sucks.
[19:37] <rypervenche> I can't find a program to open my db4 file. Does anyone know how I can do it?
[19:37] <ruan> juk: IE is dying
[19:37] <Alex---> juk, who cares?
[19:37] <juk> ruan: i see
[19:37] <terry> funch: too many variables - do not understand your question.   Let me ask you this;  What is your naitive language?
[19:37] <Kimmen> DrDetroit: that's lots =)
[19:37] <funch> estonian :/ i'll try to explain it once more :D
[19:37] <DrDetroit> i know
[19:37] <Alex---> zeroman, good luck. I wish you luck with malware and virusses
[19:37] <mello> a non linux question, im trying to stream from my ubuntu pc to my ps3 the pc is weierd connectet to internet and the ps3 is connectet wireless, but my imac is wireless and it has no porblme streaming to the ps3. cant a weierd pc stream to a wirless console?
[19:38] <DrDetroit> but i dont know how to figure out what has gone different
[19:38] <DrDetroit> my ilde % was just down to 3%
[19:38] <Kimmen> DrDetroit: try itop
[19:39] <DrDetroit> ok
[19:39] <ninline> hehe
[19:39] <ninline> I friggin love ubuntu
[19:39] <Kimmen> swell
[19:39] <DrDetroit> hehe gotta install it first, back in a min
[19:40] <funch> terry, I got dualboot VM, OpenWrt + Ubuntu 10.04, I'm booted to OpenWrt and i need to change the /etc/fstab of the Ubuntu 10.04, but i can't boot to Ubuntu 10.04 neither use chroot at this moment, and /etc/fstab is not there if i just cd to Ubuntu 10.04 partition
[19:40] <rcmaehl> GeekyAdam: sudo cp -r --preserve=all * /mnt/external/ubuntubackup
[19:40] <rcmaehl> GeekyAdam: that might work
[19:41] <bin_bash> Okay, so, I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 running Ubuntu 10.04 and it gets hot.
[19:41] <bin_bash> what do
[19:41] <agent42> how do i add an additional  dropdown menu to the top panel? i tried adding a drawer, but it doesn't look/work like the eg the applications menu.
[19:41] <DrDetroit> Kimmen: I have installed itop, and it is running, what should i look for
[19:41] <GeekyAdam> rcmaehl: dont think that will copy hidden files
[19:42] <phoenixsampras> help! what is a good FTP server?
[19:42] <terry> funch: Maybe you have mounted the wrong partition.  Do you have separate partitions for /home and / ?
[19:42] <littlebearz> phoenixsampras:filezilla
[19:42] <funch> yes, got seperated partitions
[19:42] <terry> phoenixsampras: proftp is good but so is vsftpd
[19:42] <funch> but quite sure i mounted the right one
[19:42] <lbdremy> I don't understand why sometimes my ubuntu logout to my session without my authorization. Any ideas ?
[19:42] <terry> phoenixsampras: I prefer proftp
[19:43] <littlebearz> phoenixsampras: but I use proftpd and filezilla :)
[19:43] <bin_bash> filezilla is awesome
[19:44] <terry> phoxpsh: actually, it is proftpd not proftp and I think the package name now days is proftpd-basic
[19:44] <rcmaehl> GeekyAdam: tell me if any hidden files show up when you run sudo cp -v -r -i --preserve=all * /mnt/external/ubuntubackup | more
[19:45] <quiescens> GeekyAdam: you could use something like 'cp -a . /mnt/external/ubuntubackup' or 'cp -a /home/$USER /mnt/external/ubuntubackup'
[19:45] <terry> phoxpsh: Sorry wrong nick
[19:45] <b1lly> does anyone know why ubuntu wont detect me external monitor? I have a laptop with HDMI output-> utilizes a HDMI to DVI converter cable that connects into the DVI port of my monitor
[19:46] <funch> terry, it seems to me that, fstab is temporary file only created when the Ubuntu is booted or active with chroot, was hoping there is some bypass that i could change it somehow
[19:46] <dbugger> Hello fellow Ubuntuers.  May one of you gentlemen guide me through the process of enabling them?
[19:46] <terry> funch: Well, you must have just gone to the wrong one.  Try another partition.
[19:46] <quiescens> GeekyAdam: as you might have guessed, * doesn't expand to include .files by default, its not a cp option that you're missing, your shell just isn't including the .(whatever) files when it expands the *
[19:46] <DrDetroit> Kimmen: I have installed itop, and it is running, what should i look for
[19:46] <GeekyAdam> trying to copy whole directory instead of all files... cp -vr /home/<me> /mnt/external/
[19:46] <IdleOne> !sound | dbugger
[19:46] <terry> funch: No, /etc/fstab is a perminate file.
[19:46] <rcmaehl> O_O wow ff4 is nice
[19:47] <dbugger> IdleOne, thank you for you help, you kind gentleman
[19:48] <IdleOne> dbugger: sure thing.
[19:48] <rcmaehl> I might switch back to ff4 from chromium
[19:48] <terry> *permanent
[19:48] <Alex---> zeroman, are you there?
[19:50] <terry> Alex---: free > info ; fdisk -l >> info ; pastebinit info ; rm info
[19:50] <dbugger> IdleOne, those pages seem more targeted to those who can't hear any sound at all, while my problem lies within the realm of external speakers. May I get more oriented help, or another useful link?
[19:50] <terry> Alex---: And send us URL.
[19:50] <littlebearz> terry: wow, pastebinit is now a default method?
[19:50] <terry> Alex---: free > info ; sudo fdisk -l >> info ; pastebinit info ; rm info   #Send us resulting URL.
[19:50] <kowboits> доброго времени суток!
[19:51] <IdleOne> dbugger: run alsamixer from terminal and check your Master levels
[19:51] <[segfault]> !ru | kowboits
[19:51] <kowboits> можно как чайнику попросить помощи?:)
[19:51] <terry> littlebearz: I don't know about defualt...?  Is there a better way?
[19:51] <dbugger> IdleOne, they are in order, at 100%
[19:51] <littlebearz> terry: copy and paste xd? via GUI?
[19:51] <_3st_> http://hirnblaehung.de.vu/
[19:52] <terry> littlebearz: what is xd?
[19:52] <DrDetroit> Kimmen: sorry, I got locked up it got so slow
[19:52] <IdleOne> dbugger: hmm so you get sound but it is very low? check at the hardware level. make sure everything is plugged in and turned up
[19:53] <dbugger> I get sound perfectly on my laptop. I just connect my speakers or my headset and I sound keep coming out of the laptop, and none out of the connected device.
[19:53] <terry> littlebearz:  Well, how would you do it?
[19:53] <IdleOne> dbugger: ok, go back to the sound prefs and make sure the correct device is selected in the output tab.
[19:54] <IdleOne> dbugger: aside from that I am at a loss
[19:54] <funch> terry, tnx :D seems that it was just hidden somehow, since it didnt show it to me with tabbing:D and i made stupid presumption
[19:54] <dbugger> In the output tab I only see one option: Internal Audio Analog Stereo
[19:54] <xormor> how do I remove old Linux kernel?
[19:54] <kowboits> тт
[19:55] <DavidGuetta> Hello
[19:55] <erUSUL> xormor: i find synaptic to be the easiest way
[19:55] <_UsUrPeR_> what's wrong?
[19:55] <terry> littlebearz: Method is: Open a gui terminal, paste following text in: free > info ; sudo fdisk -l >> info ; pastebinit info ; rm info   #Hit enter #Send resulting URL.
[19:55] <gaara> alguna persona que hable español, para que me enseñe algunas cosas de xubuntu¿¿
[19:55] <erUSUL> !es | gaara
[19:55] <DavidGuetta> I have a problem
[19:55] <Alex---> who can help me?
[19:55] <bastidrazor> xormor: search for linux-image in synaptic and uninstall the older kernels
[19:55] <Alex---> i want to install something in wine from cd
[19:55] <xormor> erUSUL: how do I do it with the commandline?
[19:56] <Alex---> but it says: The file '/media/cd1/Setup.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[19:56] <Alex---> the executable link says: You should only mark a file as executable via the file permissions if you know what you are doing.
[19:56] <terry> Alex---: Open a gui terminal, paste following text in: free > info ; sudo fdisk -l >> info ; pastebinit info ; rm info   #Hit enter #Send resulting URL (copy&paste resulting URL here).
[19:56] <bhauff> How would I automatically start a program, running under a user (not root), on reboot/startup?
[19:56] <_UsUrPeR_> Alex---: so you are running it in the shell as "einw setup.exe"?
[19:56] <Alex---> but when i do that it says: De rechten konden niet gewijzigd worden. Kon de rechten van ‘Setup.exe’ niet wijzigen: Fout bij instellen toegangsrechten: Bestandssysteem is alleen-lezen
[19:56] <_UsUrPeR_> Alex---: err "wine setup.exe"
[19:56] <rcmaehl> Alex---: sudo chmod +x /media/cd1/Setup.exe
[19:57] <erUSUL> xormor: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-blah-blah-version-blah
[19:57] <_UsUrPeR_> Alex---: you can't just run a .exe in ubuntu. That's why you install wine. You can't change the executable bit on a CD because it's write-protected
[19:57] <dryicebomb> Alex---: try copying the files from the cd to a local folder
[19:59] <afernandez> Hello, I want to know if it's possible to run again the "post-install scripts" (I don't know what is the name of those programs or scripts)  to reset all the changes that I made....
[19:59] <DrDetroit> Kimmen : I have rebooted to make it run faster and have also regressed back 2 upgrades
[19:59] <DrDetroit> I guess that is the only thing i can think of to try
[19:59] <DrDetroit> I sure appreciate your help
[19:59] <DrDetroit> thanks

[20:05] <patrickw_> Is there a need to wait for changes to propagate after repartitioning a drive?  And if so, how do I know when it's safe to continue?
[20:06] <Guest16481> join #athens
[20:06] <terry> patrickw_: It depends on how you did it, with which tool.  Make sure it is finish for sure before you do something else.
[20:07] <terry> patrickw_: Did you use gparted?
[20:07] <patrickw_> terry:  parted
[20:07] <MeanEYE> evening everyone
[20:08] <terry> patrickw_: Have you saved changes and closed parted ?
[20:08] <terry> patrickw_: If so, it is probably safe to continue.
[20:08] <patrickw_> terry: and then I partprobe, and resize2fs... but when I try to mount I get a "no special device" error...  which is strange beacause resize2fs works.  This is all scripted  parted -s -- foo... running in vms at boot.  and I run partprobe after all the parted to be sure
[20:09] <rypervenche> Does anyone in here happen to know how to open a db4 file?
[20:09] <geez> quit
[20:09] <MeanEYE> rypervenche: filext.com should tell you available programs to do that
[20:09] <Kroms> Hi
[20:09] <Kroms> Can the dd if= backup command run while the system is running?
[20:10] <terry> Kroms: Yes.
[20:10] <patrickw_> terry:  very simple script, but it fails at the mount..  shoudl I just retry a couple times?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/583960/
[20:10] <Griob> I have a server that i gave a static ip address in /etc/networking/interfaces. Now it doesnt broadcast its hostname to the router (im in a home network). How can i broadcast the hostname and still have a static ip?
[20:11] <Kroms> terry, so while the box is running I can run it and it will create a image of the system I am using?  If yes, can I automate the process?  I'm looking to create a fully automated process that might delete old ones if reaching a certain date.
[20:11] <MeanEYE> Griob: hostnames are resolved with DNS, you can however make local alias to any ip address
[20:11] <mroova81> haha
[20:11] <zatan> Hi, how Can I take back root privileges from folder ?
[20:12] <MeanEYE> zatan: you mean change owner or ?
[20:12] <Xethron> Hello
[20:12] <Guest36692> no to nie zabawne
[20:12] <zatan> MeanEYE, sorry , yeah change the owner :)
[20:12] <MeanEYE> chown ! zatan
[20:12] <Griob> within a home network my router acts as a DNS server correct?
[20:12] <MeanEYE> chown | zatan
[20:12] <MeanEYE> !chown | zatan
[20:12] <MeanEYE> great :D 3rd charm
[20:12] <zatan> MeanEYE,  thanks :)
[20:13] <MeanEYE> zatan: no problem :D
[20:13] <erUSUL> Griob: not a must; it can act as caching dns or not
[20:13] <terry> Kroms: One way is something like this:   gzip < /dev/sda > mybackup.img.gz
[20:13] <MeanEYE> zatan: basically sudo chown user:user folder
[20:13] <MeanEYE> Griob: not really. DNS is a separate service.
[20:14] <Griob> erUSUL: can i have a separate server on my network act as local DNS?
[20:14] <Kroms> terry, That would work if I wanted to create some type of cronjob for nightly/weekly backups?
[20:14] <zatan> MeanEYE,  still doesnt work I dont understand whi my bloody (ubuntu one) folder with a locker .. ;/
[20:14] <erUSUL> Griob: i guess you could but i do not think it is worth it... what problem are you trying to solve?
[20:14] <terry> Kroms: If you want to just do one partition:  gzip -d < image.gz | dd of=/dev/sda2
[20:14] <xormor> how do I free up more space on /?
[20:15] <MeanEYE> zatan: can you please explain what you did and what you want to do
[20:15] <bastidrazor> xormor: sudo apt-get clean ..:this will clean out any downloaded packages you've installed during updates
[20:16] <terry> Kroms: If you want to send to another machine across your network:  dd if=/dev/sda | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz'
[20:16] <MrBushido> i'm running ubuntu desktop with 2 monitors and when i maximise a flash video (e.g. youtube) it maximises to the primary display rather than the window the browser is on. Anybody know how to fix this? (Follow up question for extra love points is is there any way to force maximised videos to remain maximised while i work on another screen)
[20:16] <xormor> bastidrazor: what other commands?
[20:16] <pytkoko> Cześć ;]
[20:16] <terry> Kroms: And sure you can do it in a cron job.  There are lots of options.
[20:16] <Griob> erUSUL im just trying to have my machines hostname be known. when i use DHCP it is, but not using a static ip
[20:16] <xormor> bastidrazor: thank you for your tip, but I think bleachbit already ran that on my system.
[20:17] <zatan> MeanEYE,  please can you look at this : http://i.imgur.com/v88U5.png   , as you can see there is locker on UBUNTU ONE folder How can i take that locker out?:)
[20:17] <MeanEYE> MrBushido: not spaning to both screens is flash problem and as you know flash is not oss. keeping it maximized is also a no go... it drives me crazy as well
[20:17] <dbugger> Hello fellow Ubuntuers.  May one of you gentlemen guide me through the process of enabling them?
[20:17] <mickster04> dbugger: nicely put :D
[20:17] <MeanEYE> yeah
[20:17] <IdleOne> dbugger: would appreciate it if you kept the language clean and family friendly.
[20:17] <erUSUL> Griob: for a home network you can use avahi provided hostname.local or use the file /etc/hosts
[20:18] <terry> Kroms: i.e.  dd if=/dev/sda2 | ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'gzip - > /home/Krmos/backups/image.gz
[20:18] <mickster04> dbugger: IdleOne has a point, there is only one s in 'as'
[20:18] <MeanEYE> zatan: oh, lack of write permissions also make that "lock" thingy appear...
[20:18] <terry> Kroms: i.e.  dd if=/dev/sda2 | ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'gzip - > /home/Krmos/backups/image.gz'  #forgot the (') at the end.
[20:18] <mickster04> dbugger: also, there may be women in this chan that may have been able to help you... :/
[20:18] <charlos> hello all
[20:19] <charlos> can to help me please
[20:19] <charlos> I am never trined on Ubuntu
[20:19] <MrBushido> MeanEYE: okies thanks, are there any alternatives with good enough support to do flash vids but is actually useful?
[20:19] <charlos> so I have PlayOnLinux but how to make unistall on Itunes ?
[20:19] <MeanEYE> dbugger: what they are trying to say... give some more details about hardware
[20:19] <dbugger> mickster04, not sure what you try to imply with that comment
[20:19] <bastidrazor> xormor: you could clean out your log directory.. /var/log
[20:19] <MeanEYE> MrBushido: which videos are you trying to play, youtube/
[20:20] <bastidrazor> xormor: i think bleachbit may do that also
[20:20] <dbugger> mean, that was clearer, thanks.
[20:20] <MrBushido> MeanEYE: pretty much, blip.tv and gomtv.net as well
[20:20] <mickster04> dbugger: well you asked for the help of gentlemen, thus excludind any females
[20:20] <maheanuu> I am having a problem in Ubuntu 10.10 after minimizing a file or webpage, I cannot maximize the file and find the only way to get out of the situation is to shut down or do a reboot
[20:20] <charlos> what do you say ?
[20:20] <kowboits> invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/samba not found.
[20:20] <mickster04> charlos: what have you tried?
[20:20] <dbugger> well, of course ladies are welcome to join the discussion. Thats ommited due to obviousness :)
[20:20] <MeanEYE> MrBushido: if it's youtube... check application named minitube... that application plays video without flash (uses mp4) and you can do whatever you want with that window :)
[20:20] <kowboits> may sombody halp? )
[20:20] <mickster04> dbugger: good save :p
[20:21] <mickster04> kowboits: try smb instead of samba?
[20:21] <dbugger> Im not sure I know what king of hardware im using, MeanEYE . How could I find out?
[20:21] <MrBushido> MeanEYE: awesome, many thanks!
[20:21] <dbugger> mickster04, thank you
[20:21] <dagon666> MeanEYE: whatever..., you say :)
[20:21] <MeanEYE> MrBushido: no problems... also make sure you install newest version from their repository
[20:21] <terry> maheanuu: Are you talking about using firefox?  Or the file manager?  Or..?
[20:21] <MeanEYE> dagon666: sorry?! :D
[20:21] <[dlp]> Hey. Does anyone know how soon after release GNOME 3 will be in Ubuntu?
[20:22] <LorgonJortle> Hey everyone.
[20:22] <dbugger> MeanEYE, as you can see, I'm not an expert on the linux domains
[20:22] <MeanEYE> [dlp]: to my knowledge natty will ship with gnome3 in repositories
[20:23] <benzap> Hello, i've been having a slight issue with ubuntu that has been reoccuring for sometime now
[20:23] <MeanEYE> dbugger: so you just want to address your machine using its name and not ip address?
[20:23] <Krycek> hi
[20:23] <maheanuu> Yes I am using firefox and other things that are minimized appear as icons on the top bar but when I click them I see a small stutter in the presentation so I know that it is trying to max the file or foldr but nothing happens
[20:23] <MeanEYE> benzap: :D ask a question :D don't ask about asking :P
[20:23] <[dlp]> When
[20:23] <dagon666> benzap: and what is that exactly ?
[20:23] <benzap> for some reason, my xorg session on occasion will lock up, and i'm unable to use my mouse
[20:23] <[dlp]> sorry...
[20:23] <dbugger> MeanEYE, Im not sure what does has to do with the Audio card
[20:23] <[dlp]> When's natty released?
[20:23] <IdleOne> !natty

[20:23] <MeanEYE> [dlp]: natty will be released on april 28th
[20:24] <dagon666> benzap: are you able to go back to the console (alt + FX) ?
[20:24] <mikc> Hi all, is 1080p Full Hd playback supported on the OMAP4 Pandaboard?
[20:24] <MeanEYE> dbugger: audio card, oh, sorry :D ... am loosing track... am no expert with audio hardware
[20:24] <MeanEYE> dbugger: what card did you sah you had?
[20:24] <MeanEYE> say*
[20:24] <dbugger> I dont know. How can I find out?
[20:24] <[dlp]> Can I get away with just changing /etc/apt/sources.list to upgrade?
[20:24] <benzap> dagon666: i can do everything else just fine (it's occuring right now as we speeak
[20:24] <mickster04> kowboits: well have you edited the config yourself? or did you just right-click a folder?
[20:24] <LorgonJortle> After reinstalling grub, I was only getting a black screen upon boot (no command line). So I fiddled around with grub and reinstalled it a couple of time, and now I get a grub prompt when I boot, but no OS options. So, knowing my kernel name, I tried booting up Ubuntu from grub with 'root', 'kernel', and 'initrd' It got pretty far, but then stopped at initramfs, and I din't know what to do. How can I get grub working again, or how can
[20:24] <LorgonJortle>  I get into my Ubuntu system? I'm on a live CD.
[20:24] <MeanEYE> dbugger: lspci should say more
[20:25] <benzap> i just end up using keybaord shortcuts etc
[20:25] <benzap> but the mouse is completely frozen
[20:25] <benzap> i can move ti around
[20:25] <maheanuu> After a reboot I get a dozen or so pages that open and then minimize again very dquickly so I know that there is a lot of crap hidden on the desktop or behind it
[20:25] <dagon666> so it is only a problem of a mouse ?
[20:25] <benzap> but the pointer looks like a text header

[20:25] <ganges> hi peeps, i am trying to build ubuntu packages, man its hard work
[20:25] <ganges> i am pretty sure its going to be an easier way to do that
[20:25] <MeanEYE> [dlp]: hm, you mean before natty is released, and please write a name of person you are addressing... it's hard to track
[20:25] <dagon666> benzap: does reconnecting the mouse, helps ?
[20:25] <thesheff17> does anyone know why thunderbird won't play a wav file when an email is heard.
[20:25] <benzap> hmm, i'll try turning it off and on again ;)
[20:26] <IdleOne> ganges: #ubuntu-packaging can help/guide you
[20:26] <thesheff17> is received I mean

[20:26] <MeanEYE> dbugger: now :D ask a question with that information included
[20:26] <kowboits> mickster04, first - right-click, after try to use system-config-samba witht grath interfase...
[20:26] <ganges> IdleOne, ah cool
[20:26] <ganges> thanks
[20:26] <IdleOne> welcome
[20:26] <maheanuu> terry, I hope that you managed to follow, as I didn't write my answer to you

[20:27] <maheanuu> Should I be in a newbie forum...
[20:27] <MeanEYE> dbugger: I'd like to help but as I said, audio hardware is not my speciality
[20:27] <mickster04> kowboits: uhm, and what happens? as it what is wrong, and what folder are you sharing and where is it
[20:27] <dagon666> benzap: sounds like a typical solution from "IT Crowd" :) (hope you follow)
[20:27] <dbugger> Ok, obviously a little humour is not how they roll here... so I'll try the usual boring way...
[20:28] <a931bw> Who can help me with php?
[20:28] <MeanEYE> dbugger: humor is not the problem, but this place gets chaotic easily so people are just trying to be practical and help as much as they can
[20:28] <dbugger> Hey, my speakers dont make any sound when I connect them to the laptop. What could be wrong? My card is a Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family)
[20:28] <dagon666> a931bw: #php
[20:28] <LorgonJortle> a931bw: #PHP
[20:28] <MeanEYE> a931bw: come to my private chat, this is not the place for that
[20:29] <dbugger> MeanEYE, I understand. But saying that would have been more practical than mocking me.
[20:29] <benzap> dagon666: i sure do lol\
[20:29] <a931bw> #php was full
[20:29] <a931bw> just got in
[20:29] <a931bw> thanks guys
[20:29] <MeanEYE> dbugger: that I can not say :)
[20:29] <MeanEYE> dbugger: but if you ask a direct question chances are someone will answer or at least try to help
[20:30] <dbugger> Doesnt seem like that's the case today.
[20:30] <dbugger> Windows will have to do tonight
[20:30] <kowboits> mickster04, no access to folder without my login and pass from linux device, and no any access from WIN device... GUI program "sad" after my try to share folder "invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/samba not found."
[20:31] <terry> Kroms: Still there...?
[20:31] <MeanEYE> Can someone help dbugger with Intel audio card???
[20:31] <celthunder> MeanEYE, what's wrong with it?
[20:31] <terry> Kroms: I made a mistake a wile back.  Let me correct it...
[20:31] <MeanEYE> dbugger: explain to celthunder what's the problem with your audio
[20:31] <juk> !repeat | dbugger MeanEYE
[20:31] <dbugger> celthunder, when i connect the speakers, they dont work
[20:32] <celthunder> dbugger, did you check in alsa if they're muted?
[20:32] <terry> Kroms: See:  http://pastebin.com/abMNsDQs
[20:32] <dbugger> Yes, they are not muted
[20:32] <ganges> ok the packaging channel seems pretty empty
[20:32] <ganges> anyone here got experience iwht building a custom ubuntu package?
[20:32] <dbugger> celthunder, yes, they are not muted
[20:32] <zcserei> hi everyone. i was trying to install ruby 1.9 from the ruby1.9.1 package, and the ruby1.9.1 -v command returns the version as ruby 1.9.2p0 - exactly what I expected. however, "ruby -v" still returns ruby 1.8.7 (I had ruby 1.8 previously installed). I'm on ubuntu 10.10. How can I make ruby1.9 default?
[20:33] <dryicebomb> anyone have any luck getting sound to record on ubuntu 10.10 with xvidcap ?
[20:33] <celthunder> dbugger, ok which intel card do you have
[20:33] <Ap0c-M4n> Is it possible to have a user group be a member of another group?
[20:33] <dbugger> celthunder,  Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family)
[20:33] <MeanEYE> ganges: one moment please
[20:33] <mickster04> kowboits: go into terminal and type sudo apt-pget isntall samba[tab] (as in press the tab key)
[20:33] <popey> dryicebomb: try kazam?
[20:34] <MeanEYE> ganges: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910717
[20:34] <IdleOne> ganges: have you had a look at the packaging guide?
[20:34] <kieppie1> hi guys. I'm trying to install FF4 from the PPA, but it's just not showing
[20:34] <MeanEYE> kieppie1: did you add ppa?
[20:34] <kieppie1> MeanEYE: yip. the stable
[20:34] <kieppie1> & updated repo
[20:34] <MeanEYE> kieppie1: did you update before trying to install it?
[20:34] <IdleOne> kieppie1: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:34] <dryicebomb> popey: i haven't, i'll check it out, thanks.
[20:34] <kieppie1> yip
[20:35] <kieppie1> lucid 10.4
[20:35] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: Yes
[20:35] <H3r0> why have not firefox 4 been updated in ubuntu ?!?!?
[20:35] <celthunder> dbugger, what're you using to play audio
[20:35] <Ap0c-M4n> terry: How?
[20:35] <IdleOne> !stable | H3r0
[20:35] <terry> H3r0: It will be in 10.10
[20:35] <Fuchs> H3r0: due to the fact that ubuntu usually doesn't update to new major versions during a release cycle.
[20:35] <ganges> MeanEYE, IdleOne thanks! i have, but creating the control file and the rules are very complicated
[20:35] <H3r0> :O
[20:35] <dbugger> youtube, videos, rythmbox, nothing works
[20:35] <H3r0> do far :(
[20:35] <kowboits> mickster04, nothing happened...
[20:36] <IdleOne> H3r0: it was also just released this morning. takes time for new packages to be added
[20:36] <MeanEYE> ganges: that thread should help you initially...
[20:36] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: Just put the name on the line following the ,
[20:36] <dbugger> celthunder, the laptop speakrs work, but the external spakers or the headphones dont
[20:36] <ganges> discovering BuildDepends is complicated
[20:36] <H3r0> IdleOne - nope I mean can I use a ppa or something like this
[20:36] <Ap0c-M4n> terry: The group name?
[20:36] <H3r0> ?
[20:36] <ganges> and then trying to configure the rules file as well
[20:36] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: Manually edit /etc/group
[20:36] <Ap0c-M4n> terry: To verify im trying to have GROUPA's users be a member of GROUPB without adding each user to GROUPA
[20:36] <IdleOne> H3r0: To install it, add the PPA repository "https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable", then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:37] <Ap0c-M4n> terry: *from GROUPA
[20:37] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: I'm pretty sure it works, just try and see.
[20:37] <kieppie1> IdleOne: H3r0: I've done that (followed OMG post), but it's simply not showing up yet
[20:37] <Ap0c-M4n> terry: Have with no success...
[20:38] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: Oh?  I could have sworn it would work.
[20:38] <IdleOne> kieppie1: it will be in Applications > Internet > Firefox Web Browser
[20:38] <Ap0c-M4n> terry: How would it difrenciate between users and groups?
[20:39] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: I don't know to tell the truth.  Are you sure it didn't work.  You know you have to log that user out and back in again before you can tell....
[20:40] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: But now, wouldn't you be better off to just use shared directories?  (Not sure what you're trying to accomlish but....)
[20:41] <Ap0c-M4n> terry: Im trying to accomplish setting up an SVN repository but having multiple groups have different access to it
[20:42] <terry> Ap0c-M4n: Well, I don't know for sure.  Sorry. Would just have to experiment.
[20:42] <kyle___> anyone know whey when i watch flash (Youtube) full screen the video stops (ubuntu 10.10)

[20:44] <MeanEYE> kv102t: which video card?
[20:44] <BlackCoffee> terry: are you the same terry who told me to install file expert?i installed it but don't know what to do now :\
[20:45] <kv102t> MeanEYE: how can I get from system. - 10.4 was OK
[20:45] <terry> BlackCoffee: Yes, that's me.  Just turt it on, click on httpd and ftp  and it gives you instructions how to connect. (a window comes up and tells  you the IP and port numbers)
[20:45] <MeanEYE> kv102t: lspci I guess
[20:46] <earthmeLon> Where is new FF in repos!?!?
[20:46] <MeanEYE> earthmeLon: you need to add new repository
[20:46] <terry> BlackCoffee: When you click either of those icons again, it turns the server off.
[20:46] <blahsphemer> the /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug in my ubuntu is empty. Shouldn't it be holding the path to the hotplug program?

[20:48] <DrDetroit> I have regressed backwards 2 updates and all seems to be well

[20:49] <DrDetroit> has anyone else experienced this problem?

[20:49] <pigdude> anyone know of a terminal wrapper like screen that makes it easy to enter international/other chars?
[20:49] <pigdude> like upside down exclamation pt
[20:50] <pigdude> im inspired by screen's digraph command
[20:50] <terry> DrDetroit: For ftp it will be   ftp://192.168.1.x:2211
[20:50] <DrDetroit> terry: i dont understand
[20:50] <terry> DrDetroit: Something like that and for ftp you have to give username and password, as stated.
[20:51] <DrDetroit> the issue is there even if i am running just a terminal window
[20:51] <terry> DrDetroit: see my private message...
[20:51] <DrDetroit> it has nothing to do with browsing or ftp or any single isshe
[20:51] <roasted__> Problem - I'm in an Ubuntu server at the moment in terminal. It's a thin client terminal server. It's having a problem with java. I have no idea what, as it keeps coming back in terminal saying E: Broken Packages. How can I Remove it and re-add it properly?

[20:54] <Bite> roasted__: sudo autoremove sunjava6
[20:54] <red2kic> Lies.
[20:55] <roasted__> Bite: autoremove is not a command it seems
[20:55] <Bite> hmm...
[20:55] <red2kic> Apt-get? Aptitude?
[20:55] <Bite> i don't know the syntax well, but try sudo apt-get autoremove.
[20:55] <roasted__> ah
[20:55] <roasted__> you mean apt-get autoremove
[20:55] <tripelb> I have a question. So I switched user into my guest account to check that it worked, Ub10.04 - then I chose log out... and the screen went blank. I had to hardboot AFAIK to get a "living breathing system" up.  What did I do? I wanted to log that user out and go back to "me". Could I have recovered? I had no cursor, no anything. Please advise, sincerely, A_User
[20:55]  * tripelb changes nick to A_User
[20:55] <alan____> quit
[20:55] <roasted__> Bite: it looks like its working...
[20:55] <tripelb> hi Mhaddog
[20:56] <roasted__> Bite: if this works I will love you forever
[20:56] <Bite> autoremove removes both the original package and any packages tied to it.
[20:56] <Bite> rather than just the original package.
[20:56] <Mhaddog> hi tripelb
[20:56] <Bite> then just reinstall the java package
[20:56] <tdn> After installing the latest kernel updates, X stopped working. I think it is the nvidia driver that stopped working. Here is the log from the update: http://paste.adora.dk/P1993.txt it clealy says that nvidia-current failed. Bu tnot sure what failed. Some dkms?
[20:56] <tripelb> I got into a blank screen and my computer was still on. What happened? What could I have done? Sincerely, A_User
[20:57] <dualcore> i setup postfix and sasl but i can't figure out why my test messages are not making it to my gmail
[20:57] <Bite> roasted__: what exactly are you doing with java?
[20:57] <tripelb> tdn I'd be totally lost in your situation. Good luck. "What's a kernel, really? I keep asking.
[20:57] <red2kic> tdn: dkms: WARNING: linux headers are missing, which may explain the above failures. please install the linux-headers-2.6.35-28-generic package to fix this.
[20:57] <tripelb> dualcore, I've never set up anything and my gmail works fine.
[20:57] <red2kic> tdn: It say so in the log. You try that yet?
[20:57] <terry> dualcore: May take a while.  (could be some congestion on the net)
[20:58] <tdn> red2kic, I try now. Is that enough. Or do I have to run something to re-generate the dkms?
[20:58] <red2kic> tdn: Ah. I see.  You're installing that too.
[20:58] <tdn> tripelb, don't worry about what the kernel is. The kernel is just the core of your OS. Where the drivers and such reside.
[20:58] <tdn> red2kic, install what too?
[20:58] <tripelb> Dear Congnoscenti, what's the default "OK wait time" before asking one's question again?
[20:58] <red2kic> tdn: The kernel.
[20:59] <dualcore> i can telnet to localhost 25 and type out a test message and it appears to get queued and work, i can see an active connection open on port 25, but i never see the email come through
[20:59] <red2kic> tripelb: 10-15 minutes.
[20:59] <DrDetroit> I have been having problems with my Ubuntu 10,04 LTS running extreamly slow since my last two updates

[20:59] <DrDetroit> has anyone else experienced this problem?
[20:59] <Logan_> !anyone | ruif13
[20:59] <tripelb> tdn, is that "dont worry your pretty little head about it?"   (asked with a sense of humor:)
[20:59] <ruif13> :)
[21:00] <tripelb> tripleb is your grandmother. I failed to install slackware from a zip (that was my first try at linux)
[21:00] <YankDownUnder> DrDetroit, Mate, have you checked to see if there's anything starting up in /etc/init.d (or your startup applications) that otherwise wasn't there before - or that you'd disabled beforehand?
[21:00] <Mhaddog> tripelb: what r u trying to do?
[21:00] <tdn> tripelb, well, yeah, actually you shouldn't worry about it. Unless you experience problems with it. A kernel is part of evey OS. Even Windows, Mac OSX, FreeBSD, and so on. You don't need to know what it is for normal use.
[21:00] <Bite> what's an .sh file?
[21:01] <tripelb> I got into a blank screen and my computer was still on. What happened? What could I have done? Sincerely, A_User
[21:01] <red2kic> tdn: You sure have lot of PPA and whatnot.
[21:01] <tdn> Bite, a shellscript.
[21:01] <tripelb> I have a question. So I switched user into my guest account to check that it worked, Ub10.04 - then I chose log out... and the screen went blank.

Please advise, sincerely, A_User
[21:01] <ruif13> !acpi
[21:01] <tdn> Bite, if you know Windows, think of it as a batch file (.bat), but more flexible.
[21:01] <DrDetroit> YankDownUnder: thanks for the response, i did not change anything, and have actually started to turn off several servies that were loading on startup, but that didnt help much
[21:01] <tdn> red2kic, yeah.
[21:01] <ruif13> !details
[21:01] <IdleOne> tripelb: we normally suggest 10-15 minutes, use common sense and you will be fine :)
[21:01] <DrDetroit> I have tried top itop and ps aux to try and isolate the issue, but nothing stands out as eating up[ my cpu or memeory
[21:01] <tripelb> oops Mhaddog I asked it again up ^^ without your handle, err nick
[21:02] <tdn> red2kic, http://paste.adora.dk/P1995.txt does this mean that it went successfully? Should I reboot to new kernel?
[21:02] <red2kic> tdn: Including /kernel-ppa/ too. I'm saying it because maybe things clashed.
[21:02] <Bite> tdn: i know theres a shellscript for running a server throgh ./craftbukkit.sh, but my previous one was configured to just 512 mb of ram. do you know how to make one?
[21:02] <YankDownUnder> DrDetroit, Here's something to check mate: from a liveCD, run an fs check on your partitions; as well, you can do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" to remove unwated carp from yer system; see what avails after that...?
[21:02] <Mhaddog> the error with a blank think on the kernel when you were logging out a guest account? @ tripelb
[21:03] <tripelb> IdleOne, thanks, I've always wondered and while I'm sitting here waiting I thought I'd ask that "second question" Could you answer one more, a learn linux site or text for a person who is smart but ignorant. (I'll tell you my background if you want. It's considerable.)

[21:04] <IdleOne> tripelb: /msg ubottu manual , also there is a tone of linux for beginners sites out there
[21:04] <DrDetroit> YankDownUnder My previous 2 updates were 2.6.32-30-generic and 2.6.32-29-generic both exhibited the same strange slow behaviour, but I have regressed to 2.6.32-28 and have had no reduction in performance-generic
[21:04] <tdn> red2kic, I wanted to try the new kernel, because I experience a really horrible bug right now making LUKS/dm-crypt slow to a crawl. I have reported this bug, and wanted to see if it has been fixed in later versions. Bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/731340
[21:04] <DrDetroit> I was ust hoping someone could give me some ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue
[21:04] <Atamisk> hello, quickie: Will GNOME still be maintained after the official switch to Unity?
[21:05] <J450N__> hey guys iv been trying to install ubuntu on a 433mhz celeron laptop today but it fails every time with cannot read block, ever yother ditu and windows will install just no ubuntu's iv tried 7 - 10 and also xubuntu and others anything ubuntu based wont work?! any ideas what i can do
[21:05] <juniorsa> Hi, I installed 10.10 server and now I want to add support for the sound card, is there a faq for that?
[21:05] <tdn> Bite, I have no idea what the context of your problem is.
[21:05] <DrDetroit> the only hardware change i made was to remove a cd drive
[21:05] <arand> Atamisk: Yes.
[21:05] <Bite> tdn: i'm trying to run a .jar for a minecraft server.
[21:05] <Atamisk> arand: Many thanks, i can sleep now.
[21:06] <Bite> someone gave me a shellscript configured to just 512 mb ram
[21:06] <tripelb> Mhaddog, let me restate. I chose logout from a menu. The situation was I had this account active, then I switched user to the guest.) I got a blank screen with no apparent way to activity. I tried various key-things  inc cntl-C alt-cntl-F1 and same combo F7 and just alt or just control F1 F7 -- then I used the power switch.
[21:06] <tdn> Bite, .jar files are run with java.
[21:06] <YankDownUnder> DrDetroit, Hmmm...strange that - my last two kernel updates actually improved my performance (on old machinery)...have you checked out any of the hdparm / sdparm settings as well as any of yer networking settings - as well, you can also tweak out yer /etc/sysctl.conf to be sure...??
[21:06] <tdn> Bite, paste the shellscript here: http://p.adora.dk
[21:06] <Bite> tdn: i don't know how to pull it off of the CLI
[21:07] <tdn> DrDetroit, do you use luks?
[21:07] <Mhaddog> have you checked that all your drivers are working?, is this a laptop? @ tripelb
[21:07] <DrDetroit> tdm i dont think so
[21:07] <tdn> Bite, : cat filename
[21:07] <DrDetroit> its just that on the 28 kernel all is well, 29 and 30 make the machine slow down for apparently no reason that i can find
[21:07] <tdn> DrDetroit, ok, 64 bit or 32 bit?
[21:07] <DrDetroit> 32bit
[21:07] <Bite> tdn: that's difficult.
[21:08] <terry> tripelb: http://linuxreviews.org/beginner/ http://www.linux.com/learn  https://help.ubuntu.com/
[21:08] <tdn> DrDetroit, it is just that I experience really slow I/O performance after upgrading to 10.10, so maybe it could be related. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/731340
[21:08] <dualcore> i need help getting postfix working
[21:08] <Bite> I have both a sata and an ide running on my machine
[21:08] <J450N__> hey guys iv been trying to install ubuntu on a 433mhz celeron laptop today but it fails every time with cannot read block, ever yother ditu and windows will install just no ubuntu's iv tried 7 - 10 and also xubuntu and others anything ubuntu based wont work?! any ideas what i can do
[21:08] <Bite> so i have to reboot and go into linux to find that.
[21:08] <Bite> i'll be right back, and tell you.
[21:08] <Atamisk> on another note, is there a launchpad bug for extremely odd I/O errors with the most recent 2 kernels on 64 bit?
[21:09] <tripelb> Mhaddog, everything works. It's a Dell, it's swell. An AGP-PCI machine. It's pretty vanilla. I've installed and use IRC. Picasa (which duplicates pics so it's a fail) chrome. transmission. I keep system monitor and weather-panel-thing running. I use gedit chrome and xchat all the time. That's the extent of my sophistocation. I plug in USB - phone, webcam, flashdrive, mouse.
[21:09] <juniorsa> my motherboard is a m4a785td-v evo there must be some sound drivers for this motherboard?
[21:09] <Raphi974> _Q_ : Anyeone knows why, at some boot, I have no sound ?
[21:10] <tripelb> Mhaddog, I meant to say, no indication of any problems. It's wonderful. It's a dualboot with windows that I almost never use.
[21:11] <guedesav> hello, my Ubunut just suddenly stopped accepting input in X mode
[21:11] <DrDetroit> tdm it is possibel
[21:11] <Mhaddog> ok, if you get episodes like that, you could check the logs and see, question is if you have fins if all your peripherals are recognized and working correctly
[21:11] <DrDetroit> the only thing i think we have in common is ext4 though
[21:11] <Mhaddog> usb sometimes has issues, waking up or shutting down systems, heard recently issues with usb3
[21:11] <guedesav> I was using it just fine this afternoon, then I put it inhibernation, when I came back it went into kernel panic
[21:11] <DrDetroit> its just too strange, all is well one day...do a couple updates and it all turns to mush
[21:11] <guedesav> now I turn it on and suddenly X doesn't accept input from keyboard or mouse
[21:12] <Mhaddog> so once you checked that ur drivers are setup correctly then you move forward to  more sophisticated issues
[21:12] <guedesav> but the console works just fine
[21:12] <DrDetroit> so i guess i will just keep running the 2.6.32-28-generic until a new one makes it go away i guess
[21:12] <guedesav> and the mouse works if I disconnect it and connect it again
[21:12] <guedesav> problem is, my keyboard is onboard, so I can't disconnect it :|
[21:13] <Bite> Okay... i need to also load GRUB on my computer so i can switch between the two OS i have.
[21:13] <Bite> can somebody help me?
[21:13] <Bite> i'll just mess with my old shellscripts later.
[21:16] <peter_felching> Hi. I have a question regarding audio. I've just installed this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/audio-recorder-for-linux-easily-record-audio-streams-to-mp3/ software, witch lets one save audio stream. Judging from comments it works for everyone, except me that is. I am using 10.10 on eeepc px 1001. Any idea how to fix this?
[21:17] <guedesav> ...okay, I'll just go see if it fixed itself
[21:18]  * Bite requests help.
[21:18] <aeon-ltd> Bite: shoot

[21:21] <Bite> will that just do it?
[21:21] <YankDownUnder> J450N__, More RAM, mate. 256mb ain't going to cut it. Unless you find/use an ancient version....
[21:22] <aeon-ltd> J450N__: ubuntu server, start from almost nothing then install only what you need. if its irc and ssh only you could just not use X
[21:22] <juniorsa> aeon-ltd: ok so I can't max out headphones
[21:22] <MeanEYE> firevai: that was cedega, but was discontinued... there's a fork out there, don't know its name

[21:26] <DrShoggoth> is it worth getting a creative soundcard vs using onboard?
[21:27] <DrShoggoth> will it lower cpu usage or better output?
[21:27] <aeon-ltd> juniorsa: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[21:27] <juniorsa> aeon-ltd: the card is hda ati sb, and the chip is via vt1708s is this supported for sure?
[21:27] <aeon-ltd> juniorsa: do this 'aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' in a terminal if it plays sound then yes your card works :)
[21:28] <juniorsa> aeon-ltd: works, thanks a mil
[21:28] <aeon-ltd> juniorsa: you're welcome :)

[21:37] <aeon-ltd> peter_felching: yeah usually ubuntu branding takes time
[21:37] <Atamisk> exit
[21:37] <peter_felching> aeon-ltd, have you encountered same error, or is it just wild guess?
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> peter_felching: no, i just know that when packages are released ubuntu/canonical like to test and brand for ubuntu then release the branded version - so 90% inferring 10% guessing

[21:46] <newbie01> hi all, How do i quit Vi in command line i.e. which buttons?
[21:47] <Auriga> Howdy, I just downloaded a .tar.tar I can't do anything with it in the cli, so I open it in the GUI, it tells me 'it doesn't look like a tar archive'. I then rename the .tar.tar to .tar, I get the same messagae. I then go to rename it back, but I type '.tar.atar' by accident & it now opens. Can someone explain this to me?
[21:47] <s3r3n1t7> newbie01, if by vi you mean the symlinked vim version: esc :q

[21:50] <Peter__> ok, so i have used UNetbootin to put Ubuntu onto my flash drive, it requires nothing else than to reboot my computer with the flash drive in?
[21:50] <speakman> Is there any way to trace what's causing /usr/bin/X to be extremely CPU intensive sometimes=
[21:50] <terry> newbie01: :wq   #to save and quit   :q!    #To quit without saving
[21:51] <Xion> does anyone know the command for the oppenoffice.org main page ?

[21:54] <iceroot> delac: but remeber, 777 is almost always a bad idea
[21:54] <cutiyar_> iceroot, no i get other updates of firefox in ubuntu-manager
[21:54] <iceroot> cutiyar_: as i said, there are no major-updates in the normal ubuntu-repos
[21:55] <crc32> when building a deb package how do you configure the rules to install a file if it doesn't already exist? Ie I'm tyrying to avoid the "dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ng-lbaas-routes_0.0.1-1_all.deb (--unpack):

[21:58] <tbruff13> hello can someone help me please
[21:58] <newbie01> vi over pico?
[21:58] <tbruff13> sorry just been at this for to days
[21:58] <RandomCake> sysop3: have you checked cluster size on the two disks?
[21:58] <guedesav> okay, I think I updated my xserver-xorg packages and it pretty much messed my X
[21:58] <sysop3> no.
[21:58] <RandomCake> not tried pico newbie01, but certainly over nano, and emacs
[21:58] <sysop3> RandomCake, no.
[21:58] <cutiyar_> ubottu, thanks worked
[21:59] <guedesav> now when I restart the computer Ubuntu doesn't recognize input unless I deactivate and reactivate the evdev module, and then restart the server
[21:59] <Peter__> grrrrr, now even UNETbootin refues to work for me -___-
[21:59] <guedesav> also, none of the terminal emulators work, anyone have any idea why?
[21:59] <crc32> is there some alternative to dh_install when building deb packages which instruct the package to install the file if it does not already exist?
[21:59] <RandomCake> have a look at that sysop3, because if one has a larger cluster size, then the minimum size a file takes up disk is higher, so 1,000 1 byte files take up 4,000,000 on a disk with a 4k cluster size
[22:00] <DavidGuetta> Hello
[22:00] <delac> iceroot: yes, but there is still the problem, that if one user creates a file and puts it there, another user wont be able to modify that file. not at default that is. any way to make folder that automatically transforms anything put there as "shared"?
